“Since that’s the case, let’s get some rest early. Just call us if you need anything.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Chen decided to go take a shower and turn in.
“Okay, got it.”
She stepped into the bathroom.
The warmth from before still lingered in the room, and the air was thick with the scent of body wash.
‘She was just in here showering…’
Her heart stirred uncontrollably.
Shaking her head to toss out those messy thoughts, she quickly turned on the hot water, bathed, and returned to her room to rest.
‘I feel like I’m kind of taking advantage of her. I don’t even know if this plan will work for him.’
Ding-ding!
Just as she lay down to scroll through videos, a message notification sounded from her phone.
“Big Brother, are you asleep?”
It was from Guo Ming, accompanied by his usual smug emoji.
“It’s late, and I’m not in the mood to keep you company, you bastard.”
Gu Chen replied irritably.
This guy was most likely about to share some explicit content again.
After all, that was the only reason he ever contacted her this late.
But she had too many troubles right now and lacked the energy.
“No, no, I’ve got a major discovery. Guess what it is, hehe.”
“Can’t you cut me some slack, Big Brother? This time it’s really a huge find. I paid a lot of cash for it. Remember that encrypted site I told you about? You need a membership to get in. I tricked a buddy into lending me his account for two days, and I actually found something incredible.”
“Found what? What, did you finally realize you’re a pervert?”
Guo Ming was talking about that underground site he’d mentioned before.
Gu Chen didn’t know exactly what it was, but it definitely wasn’t anything decent.
“Spit it out, kid. I don’t have time to chat with you.”
Gu Chen rolled her eyes. She knew about it, but she had no interest.
“Hear me out, Big Brother. There’s a lot of weird stuff in there. And I searched for local videos and actually saw something about our school.”
Guo Ming finally got to the point.
“What about our school?”
Gu Chen perked up at that.
How could that kind of website involve Chengnan High School?
Then he slowly laid out the details.
There was a paid video.
From the camera angle, it showed a live stream of a man exposing himself to scare girls and then enjoying their reactions.
And this content was exactly the same as what the exhibitionist pervert had been doing.
Both the setting and the girls who were scared were from Chengnan High School.
In other words, that exhibitionist pervert hadn’t just done those things—he’d also uploaded the videos to an encrypted site to make money.
“What?!”
Gu Chen’s face instantly changed after hearing this.
She naturally knew who the exhibitionist was, but she never expected that Wang Jun would actually film it and even put it online to make money.
‘This bastard has no sense of shame at all!’
‘No wonder I always felt like that punk was hiding something from me—so this is what it was!’
‘Good thing that idiot Guo Ming stumbled upon it accidentally, or I would’ve been fooled.’
“What’s the site? Send it to me. Let me take a look.”
After a moment of thought, Gu Chen decided to check it herself to confirm if it was real.
“Hehe, I knew you’d be interested, Big Brother, so I dared to bother you. I’ve sent you the site and the login info. Use it carefully, though—it’s all paid content.”
Even through the screen, Gu Chen could imagine Guo Ming’s sycophantic expression.
After receiving the info, she ignored him and entered the site, inputting the username and password.
The site’s interface really did look just like an adult website. In fact, it felt no different.
Then she searched for keywords, and sure enough, there was related content. The title was:
“Exposing in Campus to Scare Girls—Don’t Miss Out.”
It was a paid video, available for five bucks.
“Damn!”
“Wang Jun, are you out of your mind?”
Seeing it with her own eyes, Gu Chen could fully confirm now. She couldn’t help but curse.
If he got caught for this, it would be an even worse crime.
Before, she’d let him off for his sister’s sake.
But now that he’d done something like this, there was really no way to protect him.
She was about to call him directly to ask what was going on, but then she stopped.
‘He’ll just deny it or change the subject.’
‘I have to catch him in person and interrogate him to make him confess.’
Besides, the exhibitionist pervert hadn’t struck lately, which was at least a sign of remorse.
Since it was her first time browsing this kind of site, Gu Chen couldn’t help being curious.
She scrolled through the recommended content one by one, stunned.
There was a wide variety.
Not just explicit stuff, but also gore and violence—all designed to satisfy people’s morbid curiosity.
“Hotel couple voyeur video”
“Bully violence footage”
“Subway upskirt creep shot”
It was a string of criminal videos.
Gu Chen even worried that her browsing history might get her investigated someday.
She wasn’t some righteous hero, but she also had no such perverted hobbies.
She just glanced at the titles and swiped past them.
Finally, she closed the site and let out a sigh.
‘I never imagined there were so many underground industries. Really an eye-opener.’
‘Should I report it…?’
‘Forget it. I’ll find Wang Jun and get the truth out of him first, then decide.’
‘I have enough messes of my own to deal with. I don’t have the energy to worry about other things.’
After a groggy night’s sleep, Gu Chen was woken by harsh sunlight.
‘I forgot to close the window last night.’
“Ugh, so hot.”
She rubbed her eyes.
Her whole body ached.
She hadn’t turned on the air conditioner last night.
When she woke up, the pillow was soaked with sweat, and her forehead was damp.
She decided to just get up and go to the bathroom.
Opening the door, she suddenly remembered that Ivy had moved in last night.
Having an extra person in the house was really unfamiliar.
Her gaze instinctively went to the couch, and her hazy mind instantly sharpened.
“No way!”
Ivy was sleeping on the couch.
The couch must have been even hotter.
Too embarrassed to turn on the air conditioner, her face was flushed.
The air conditioning blanket had been kicked to the floor in her sleep.
She was lying face-down, snoring softly.
Her already outrageously short skirt had ridden up from all the tossing and turning, revealing a large expanse of pale thigh.
Such a provocative sight made Gu Chen’s breath catch.
“Huff… huff…”
She forced herself to steady her breathing and control her emotions, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
‘They say foreign women are open. Could it be true?’
‘But no matter what, this can’t go on.’
‘After all, Dad is still home. If he comes out and sees this, who knows if he’ll lose control.’
‘That would be trouble.’
So Gu Chen tiptoed over to the couch and slowly reached out her hands…
