Liu Rulan followed with her arms crossed, her eyes slightly narrowed: "Speaking of which, the swimming coach told me today that you didn't go to their place for your daily practice."

Xiao He's eyes darted around: "Uh—"

"Ahem, Sister Liu, if I were to say... if I only studied for one day and already knew how to swim..."

As the woman's gaze sharpened, Xiao He's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.

The next moment, Liu Rulan's voice, as if a storm was brewing, came from the villa:

"Get to class right now!!!"

...

Just as Xiao He was struggling through various classes, the plot of "Shining Stars" finally came to an end.

After Li Shuo's instigation, Meng Zetian began to lose the trust of those above him.

No matter the era, when a person is not trusted by their superiors, they are not far from being dismissed.

Of course, Meng Zetian was no pushover either; he followed the clues and found something to hold against Bai Mingchuan.

Previously, Bai Mingchuan used his identity as a reporter to infiltrate the hospital to gather intelligence and successfully smuggled the information out.

Unfortunately, before he could move, he was intercepted by Meng Zetian and searched.

In order to prevent the intelligence from falling into the hands of these people and to avoid being exposed himself, Bai Mingchuan decisively used physical contact to boldly hide the intelligence on Meng Zetian's body, thus successfully escaping a disaster.

Although Li Shuo later managed to legally extract this intelligence from Meng Zetian, the incident ultimately left behind a hidden danger.

After realizing something was wrong, Meng Zetian immediately reviewed the situation, starting with screening people at the hospital one by one, and finally successfully found Bai Mingchuan's suspicious points.

By examining Bai Mingchuan's usual interpersonal relationships and past activities, he obtained concrete evidence of Bai Mingchuan's identity.

However, Meng Zetian was not in a hurry to arrest Bai Mingchuan.

Based on a retrospective analysis of what happened that day, Meng Zetian suspected that Li Shuo was the one who took the information from him—meaning that Li Shuo and Meng Zetian were in cahoots! They were both…

Just when Meng Zetian's position in the bureau was teetering on the brink of collapse, it was Li Shuo who, by playing both sides and flattering the bureau chief, rose step by step and was about to surpass Meng Zetian!

Meng Zetian could not tolerate this situation.

He worked like a slave, diligently and conscientiously, his hands stained with the blood of countless kinsmen. He was willing to betray his country for personal gain, all he wanted was a path to promotion.

Why is it that someone like Li Shuo, who sits in an office all day, can easily surpass his efforts just by talking and flattering him?

Meng Zetian was an extreme egoist. He would not work for those Japanese pirates, nor would he risk his life to help his country fight for a future like others. Everything he did was for his own benefit.

So after realizing that Li Shuo posed a threat to him, Meng Zetian immediately made a decision: he could not directly report Bai Mingchuan's matter—he would use Bai Mingchuan's matter to bring down Li Shuo!

Little did he know, this was a trap deliberately set for him by Li Shuo.

—Tonight is Meng Zetian's death day!
