Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chapter 30: Drinking, But Trouble Comes from the Sky

This was a bar, and it’s Li Long’s territory. Clearly, getting into a fight wasn’t going to happen.

Two bodyguards directly escorted Ye Aotian out. The three decided to settle things with a brief scuffle at the door.

“Hmph, you don’t know your place.”

Ye Aotian looked at the two men in front of him. He had just recently begun practicing the Earth Core Technique, which made him feel incredibly strong.

He thought he could test these two.

The two brothers didn’t hesitate and struck together. Blow after blow, yet Ye Aotian managed to fend them off.

The two looked at Ye Aotian in surprise and said, “Ancient martial arts? Not quite at the ninth level yet, maybe eighth?”

“Even though I don’t understand what you’re saying, you’ve picked the wrong person to mess with.”

Mess with your grandpa’s wrong person!

These two were just bodyguards who had a good relationship with the Lin family, so they came to help out. Usually, they were tasked with protecting the elderly, but today, since the younger ones wanted to have some fun, they thought they’d take the opportunity to come out and stretch their legs.

It just so happened that Ye Aotian blocked their path. But Ye Aotian overestimated his own genius strength. When the two got serious, they pinned him to the ground in no time. They gave him a thorough beating.

“Chen Fan’s lackeys, just wait and see!”

Is this guy an idiot? Chen Fan? Able to command us?

After dealing with Ye Aotian, the two returned to the bar.

“How did it go?”

“Miss, we dealt with him. Didn’t leave him crippled, just taught him a lesson.”

“Did he say anything?”

“He did. He said we were Chen Fan’s lackeys. I’m really confused—does he have some beef with Chen Fan?”

For once, Lin Qingyue couldn’t hold back her laughter. This guy really wasn’t very bright. Clearly, she had ordered the beatings, and this was the second time, yet he always mistakenly believed it was Chen Fan.

Jin Lan naturally noticed Lin Qingyue. She couldn’t believe that Chen Fan didn’t see it, but judging by his demeanor, he probably didn’t want to get involved.

To put it plainly, as Chen Fan wrote in his diary: “It’s not my turn to act yet, so why should I get involved?”

The more she thought about it, the funnier it became.

Jin Lan chuckled.

Chen Fan asked, “Sis, what’s so funny?”

“Nothing.”

Chen Fan glanced at Lin Qingyue.

Naturally, he also saw Ye Aotian flirting with her. As for why the bodyguards had escorted him out, that was unclear. Maybe some big shot had taken a fancy to that woman.

But when Chen Fan looked back, he saw Ye Aotian standing far away.

His face was bruised and swollen.

Poor guy, this protagonist. Was that really necessary?

Thinking back, today’s plot should have been Ye Aotian’s heroic rescue of a damsel in distress. So, in a way, you could say he succeeded. However, Ye Aotian had another purpose for coming today: to investigate Li Long.

Revenge had always been on his mind. Killing Li Long was his ultimate goal.

At this moment, Li Long was playing with a woman in his arms. Chen Fan looked at Li Long and grew increasingly irritated. This guy was about to die, yet he was still fooling around.

Whatever, it had nothing to do with me.

Just then, a young man walked up and greeted Chen Fan. They shook hands, and Chen Fan asked, “And you are?”

Li Long said, “My son.”

Oh, I see.

Chen Fan immediately understood. This was another soon-to-be dead man.

This guy was probably going to die before Li Long. Then, the real confrontation between Li Long and Ye Aotian would happen, with Li Long eventually being assassinated by Ye Aotian.

After that, Ye Aotian would take over Li Long’s forces, and Chen Fan, as the villain, would officially begin playing a game of chess against Ye Aotian.

The young man’s name was Li Wenqiang.

“Big Brother, there’s nothing fun here.”

Chen Fan asked, “So what are you planning?”

“How about we go somewhere else? My dad’s got a villa in the suburbs. I can call over some girls, and it’ll just be the two of us, how about it?”

Chen Fan nodded.

That actually sounded like a decent idea.

Should I go?

Over on Jin Lan’s side, after checking the time, she decided she’d had enough fun and mentioned she wanted to head back to rest. Chen Fan, of course, would make his own arrangements.

Chen Fan looked at Zhu Yeqing by his side and asked, “Want to come with me?”

“Yes, alright.”

As Chen Fan gazed at this woman he had seen countless times before, he couldn’t help but think that she was really single-minded. Why not just poison my whole family and be done with it? Why insist on slowly leaking information, watching my family fall apart bit by bit?

According to the novel’s logic, she believed that simply killing off the Chen family wouldn’t bring satisfaction. Only seeing the entire Chen family completely ruined would count as revenge.

Her hatred was actually pretty straightforward. Someone from Zhu Yeqing’s family had crossed paths with a member of the Chen family’s direct line, so Zhu Yeqing had decided to seek revenge by infiltrating the Chen family.

As for that person from the direct line, Zhu Yeqing had already killed them.

But this woman was stubborn. She firmly believed that the Chen family as a whole was at fault. In the end, she became an undercover agent by Chen Fan’s side, even going so far as to offer her body for her cause.

Everyone parted ways and got into their cars. Naturally, Chen Fan noticed Ye Aotian. He flipped him the middle finger before turning and walking away. Ye Aotian watched Chen Fan with women in both arms, and both of them were absolute beauties.

This made him seethe with anger.

But he had to endure it. But as the protagonist, he simply couldn’t. If he could, he wouldn’t be a protagonist in a web novel. Their motto was always “an eye for an eye.”

Inside the car, Li Wenqiang was boasting to Chen Fan about his escapades, while Zhu Yeqing sat quietly next to Chen Fan.

She had a lot on her mind.

So, this world is a novel, huh? And I’m just a character written by someone else? But why do I have to carry this burden of hatred? When she finally managed to kill the people who had wronged her family, in that moment, she lost her direction.

After discovering that her enemy had only been a member of the Chen family’s direct line, she transferred her hatred toward Chen Fan.

But the appearance of that diary made her start to doubt.

If this really is a novel world, then what’s my role? A random side character? Or the female lead? Or should I become the character I want to be?

Lurking by Chen Fan’s side, making him fall for her, and then ultimately destroying the entire Chen family?

But he’s just a transmigrator, and this whole thing has nothing to do with him.

Countless thoughts filled her mind, making it impossible for her to decide.

Chen Fan wrapped his arm around Zhu Yeqing and said, “Why not stick with me from now on?”

Zhu Yeqing glanced at Chen Fan’s wandering hand and silently made a decision.

This guy has to die.
