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

Chapter 40: A Group of People Watching the Show

At night, during the evening hours, Zhu Yeqing followed Chen Fan back to the villa.

Zhu Yeqing had finally settled down.

Actually, Chen Fan’s character setting was quite unfortunate—the first woman by his side turned out to be an undercover agent.

“Young master, what would you like to eat tonight?”

“Just prepare something simple. By the way, how’s the weather tonight? I noticed it stopped raining during the day.”

“Young master, I checked the weather forecast, and it seems like there will be rain and thunderstorms tonight.”

“Alright, I see. Just prepare something simple. Show me your cooking skills. Tonight, we have to head out for a bit.”

Zhu Yeqing nodded.

Then, Chen Fan went back to his study and turned on his computer.

[According to my calculations, it seems like today is the day. I didn’t expect the plot to escalate so quickly.]

[With thunder and rain tonight, Li Long is probably going to die.]

[Looks like there’s going to be a good show tonight.]

[Hahaha, I’m really looking forward to it. After Ye Aotian kills Li Long, will he come directly after me?]

“Damn it, you better hurry up. I’m so bored, I’ve even prepared multiple versions of my lines.”

For Chen Fan, as long as the general plot was on track, that was enough. He was already mentally exhausted with these female leads appearing one after another.

He couldn’t quite figure out Ling Yuyan; they hadn’t interacted much.

Lin Qingyue—what a character! Chen Fan vaguely felt that this woman seemed to have a strong dislike for Ye Aotian.

As for Jin Lan, she hadn’t appeared much yet. She would only enter the stage after Li Long died.

And, Jin Lan was on Ye Aotian’s side.

It must be noted that Ye Aotian’s takeover of Zheng Qiang was entirely dependent on Jin Lan.

[Sigh, Jin Lan, it seems like I’m about to resign.]

[When that time comes, you’ll have to help Ye Aotian and groom the second successor.]

[Interesting, interesting. I wonder how the boss and Ye Aotian will get along at that time.]

As they read the diary’s contents, the female leads, who had been watching the drama unfold, were filled with confusion.

Jin Lan would help Ye Aotian?

Was Jin Lan out of her mind? Or what? How could that be possible? No matter how you looked at it, she should be dealing with Chen Fan. After all, when climbing up, she relied on Chen Fan’s father.

Jin Lan couldn’t understand it either.

Up until now, she hadn’t even interacted with Ye Aotian. Her thoughts were still focused on Chen Fan, with no reason to help Ye Aotian.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

But considering the world’s rules, for the first time, Jin Lan decided she wanted to try changing things.

She picked up the phone and said, “Tonight, no matter what happens, don’t get involved.”

Zheng Qiang, upon receiving the call, immediately felt that something big was going to happen tonight.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Remember, this is an order. If you get involved, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Zheng Qiang nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Qiang felt conflicted. This was bad.

Indeed, Zheng Qiang had always been curious—why did Ye Aotian dare to confront Li Long?

During the day, Li Long had already found out who killed his son—it was Ye Aotian.

In Qincheng, how could someone kill so recklessly without regard for the consequences? No matter how you looked at it, it was illogical.

But now, after that phone call, Zheng Qiang began to understand where the root of all this lay.

It was with Jin Lan.

Could it be that Ye Aotian was Jin Lan’s secret pawn? Indeed, the rumors about Jin Lan being dissatisfied with merely assisting Chen Fan seemed to be true.

Zheng Qiang needed to start considering his own exit strategy. If he didn’t plan for the future, he might lose his business.

Meanwhile, after the call, Jin Lan instructed the driver to gather a few people.

“Get a skilled fighter. Tonight, when Ye Aotian confronts Li Long, make sure to join the fight.”

“And tonight?”

“Strike harder.”

“Understood.”

After reading the diary, Lin Qingyue had her two bodyguards drive her in advance, preparing to head out. She was curious about how exactly Ye Aotian planned to kill Li Long.

By 7:30 p.m., it started raining. Accompanied by thunder and lightning, many people returned to their homes early to rest.

But in a dark alley in Qincheng, a group of people sat together playing cards, knives placed on the table.

These were the men Li Long had gathered. Li Long and Ye Aotian had spoken over the phone. Clearly, the two had agreed to settle their differences through a showdown on the dark side.

They would resolve their grudges.

Li Long’s men had killed the orphanage director who raised Ye Aotian. Meanwhile, Ye Aotian had killed Li Long’s son. The two were now at a point where tensions were on the verge of exploding.

It was clear—they had to fight.

At that moment, in the corner of the alley, a car had been parked for some time. The windows were custom-made, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Inside the car, Chen Fan sat with his legs crossed, looking at the documents in his hands.

It seemed he had misunderstood these female leads.

Lin Qingyue had arrived, and she had even brought two bodyguards. It turned out her inaction was due to pressure from her family. This move, however, could inspire the male protagonist’s fighting spirit.

Indeed, she was the leading female lead—her wisdom was truly exceptional.

As for Jin Lan’s car, Chen Fan could also see it. What surprised him was that Jin Lan had shown up as well.

He had previously thought Jin Lan had feelings for him, but it seemed he had read too much into it.

Now that the male protagonist’s life was on the line, all the female leads were showing up.

Li Long, if you don’t die tonight, who will? Look at these people. Has Ling Yuyan arrived? No need to check; she’s 100% here.

After all, Chen Fan had witnessed Ye Aotian’s progress over the past few days. Without guidance from someone skilled, Ye Aotian couldn’t have improved so quickly.

Damn it, I foolishly thought these female characters had changed. Indeed, the protagonist is the protagonist, and the female lead is the female lead. Each one of them is playing their role so well.

Chen Fan glanced at Zhu Yeqing in his arms, doubting whether her acting was even better than he had anticipated.

When Ye Aotian appeared at the end of the alley, the show officially began.
