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

Chapter 43: This Is What a Female lead Should Do

[Damn it, I was almost fooled! When Jin Lan held my face, I totally panicked. I even thought she had feelings for me—scared me to death. Thankfully, my dad told me it was Jin Lan who sent someone to kill Li Long.].

[What does it mean to have the protagonist’s intellect? Damn, I was suspicious, yet she still played along with me.].

[Feels good, feels really good. As expected, none of the characters deviated from their roles. It’s just that the protagonist is having a rough time. I remember that in the original plot, Ye Aotian didn’t get hurt, but this time he’s limping away to hide in the park. Not easy, huh? But it’s no big deal. He’s the protagonist, after all, and whenever he finds himself in a dead end, he always has a lucky encounter.].

[Finally, it’s my time to shine—did you know that?].

[By the way, I’m really pleased with the female leads tonight. Lin Qingyue showed up too, which means someone is secretly protecting Ye Aotian.].

[Ling Yuyan’s brother also made an appearance. This is what you call grandeur. This is the scale of the protagonist’s world. I’m so happy, so excited.].

[Now, how should I dress for my next move? Should I go for something flashy? That sounds like a great idea. Too bad I won’t get to see Sister Jin Lan changing her outfits every day anymore—lost a bit of fun there.].

After finishing today’s diary entry, Chen Fan contentedly poured himself a glass of red wine and took a large bite of pastry. With Li Long dead and Ye Aotian taking over his power, everything would move more smoothly.

Ye Aotian now had his own forces, he’d begin developing nightclubs, accumulating wealth, and starting his own business. Then, with the help of the Earth Core technique, he’d save a few big shots and gain the backing of hidden powerhouses.

From then on, it would be one defeat after another for him, constantly getting humiliated.

Damn, what a rush.

Thinking about it, Chen Fan, feeling satisfied, went to rest.

Meanwhile, Jin Lan received a call from Chen Tianqiang. This call made Jin Lan feel uneasy.

“Couldn’t wait, huh? Feeling like you’ve already taken advantage of watching over my son?”

“I didn’t betray you …”

“You were never my subordinate, so where’s the question of betrayal?”

Jin Lan was a bit flustered, her tone carrying a hint of nervousness. This time, she was truly panicking, because she was genuinely afraid that Chen Fan wouldn’t believe her.

“This isn’t like you. You’re really disappointing me, getting flustered over such a small thing?”

You don’t know a damn thing. Jin Lan wanted to curse.

“Keep at it. Do your work well. I believe you’ll make a great opponent, and I believe in my son too. Also, have Chen Fan’s name registered under your company. He won’t need to go to the office.”

“Alright.”

The call ended.

Jin Lan angrily threw her phone on the ground and stomped on it several times. But then, feeling a little heartache, she picked it back up—there were a few pictures of Chen Fan she had secretly taken.

Damn you, Ye Aotian, I’m going to make sure you die.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingyue, having returned home, couldn’t believe the news she had received. Jin Lan had been involved, and it was someone from her side who killed Li Long.

In other words, Jin Lan had always had ties with Ye Aotian.

Would Chen Fan be okay, facing such a powerful figure? Uncle Chen, why haven’t you shown up yet? If you don’t step in soon, Chen Fan is going to suffer.

But Lin Qingyue also saw the parts in the diary about her, realizing that Chen Fan had misunderstood her. She had only gone to watch the excitement, curious to see how Li Long would die.

Someone who built an empire from nothing and rose to such heights was, after all, a formidable figure. It was worth seeing how such a giant would fall.

Why was I even curious in the first place?

At that moment, Ling Yuyan was calling her brother.

“Why does it have to be you? Doesn’t the family have plenty of people who could spar with him?”

“Father thought my presence would be more sincere.”

“Sincere? Is Ye Aotian really that important? We are the Ling family. Since when did we need to rely on an outsider?”

“The Earth Core Technique—Ye Aotian has successfully cultivated it. No one has ever succeeded with that technique before. Have you forgotten the family’s ancient rules?”

Ling Yuyan suddenly remembered—it was the Earth Core Technique.

There was a family rule: in any era, whoever successfully cultivated the Earth Core Technique would be eligible to become the head of the Ling family and control its affairs.

“I don’t care! I don’t want to marry someone like him. If you like him, you marry him!”

“If you don’t want to marry him, that’s fine. But as for the family head position, there’s no room for negotiation.”

“Are you okay with this, Brother? The head of the family should be yours!”

Ling Xiaoyun paused for a moment before saying, “We must follow the ancestral rules.”

Meanwhile, No. 7, who had been watching all the drama unfold, turned off her computer. Tonight’s big show was just too entertaining. She was a skilled hacker, and wherever there was electronic equipment, she could control it.

Back at the villa, Jin Lan was sulking, and this made No. 7 laugh gleefully. Not only that, but Lin Qingyue also seemed to be deep in thought.

However, No. 7 managed to locate Ye Aotian. He had indeed entered the park but was eventually saved by an old man.

The surveillance footage showed the old man taking Ye Aotian away at a rapid speed—so fast that you wouldn’t notice it unless you slowed down the footage.

This is what it means to be the protagonist! No matter where they go, they always have a lucky encounter when trapped in a dead end.

According to Chen Fan, this was the point where the chess game between him and Ye Aotian would officially begin.

Seeing that the diary hadn’t been updated much, No. 7 decided to go to bed.

Zhu Yeqing, after reading the diary, quietly gazed out the window.

So, Jin Lan had been acting all along. As expected of a female lead—she even managed to fool me. Terrifying.

Looking back, she reread the part where Chen Fan said that she would fall in love with him in the future. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She truly wanted to strangle Chen Fan.

From the way things looked now, there was no way, absolutely no way.

Her current thought was simple—she just wanted to see the downfall of the entire Chen family, to witness their complete ruin.
