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

Chapter 53: The Protagonist’s Subordinates Arrive

Ye Aotian woke up, and his Earth Core advanced once again, albeit only slightly. This surprised Ye Aotian. He had never expected that after doing that thing with a woman, there would still be room for further improvement in his Earth Core.

Xiao Lan, who was lying beside him, had actually woken up long ago. However, she didn’t disturb Ye Aotian and rested quietly by his side.

She was disappointed. She had thought Ye Aotian was a very strong man, but … it didn’t seem like he was as powerful as she imagined.

In fact, this was because Ye Aotian was injured. Back when Li Long’s bullet hit Ye Aotian, it struck a critical spot on his body. Although the Earth Core was incredibly powerful and domineering, if the body wasn’t well-tempered, it could cause harm to oneself.

And that bullet had damaged his kidney. Of course, the protagonist himself would never feel this way. He always believed he was very strong. He was also quite satisfied with Xiao Lan’s performance last night.

Naturally, Xiao Lan was quite experienced and was merely putting on an act—so convincingly, in fact, that one couldn’t tell whether it was real or fake.

Could Xiao Lan go out and say, “Actually, Ye Aotian seems to be … not that capable”?

Ye Aotian, now awake, began his new plan. Finding a location for the pharmaceutical company wasn’t difficult; acquiring a pharmaceutical factory was straightforward. The core issue was the formula. He pulled out a piece of paper and casually jotted down a formula.

This formula came from his Earth Core, with more potent effects, and although it had some minor side effects, the impact wasn’t too significant.

Ye Aotian was also aware of Chen Fan’s formula, but he firmly believed that Chen Fan’s formula was far more harmful.

Why did he feel this way? Simple—because he’s the protagonist, and Chen Fan was the villain.

In Ye Aotian’s eyes, that useless Chen Fan couldn’t possibly understand medicine. He must have had guidance from some expert.

The phone rang.

“Hey, Ye, I heard you’ve been having a rough time in some small city.”

“William, I don’t want to hear your nonsense. What do you want?”

“I’m currently under the protection of your squad. Feeling a bit bored. How about we invest in something together?”

“Are you sure? China is different from abroad.”

“I don’t have any issues on my side. The money’s already been transferred to your account. How about I come visit China? Will you welcome me?”

“Sure, come. This way, I’ll also have a teammate.”

“Of course! We’re good friends, after all. Don’t worry, the William family still holds some sway.”

The call ended, and Ye Aotian flashed a wicked smile. His luck was finally turning.

William was the heir to a French family, representing a portion of the family’s authority. Ye Aotian had met William during a mission. William had a strong interest in Chinese martial arts.

After drinking heavily with William, Ye Aotian made this friend. Many business opportunities had come to Ye Aotian through William’s recommendations.

At the same time, Ye Aotian’s entire squad was also arriving.

A total of five people. These five were all experts. Among them, Ye Aotian could only fully control two men; the other three operated independently.

“When will you arrive?”

“I’m already on the plane, almost there. I’ll be there by morning.”

How efficient! William’s style was truly impressive, never bothering to consider whether Ye Aotian might refuse.

At the same time, Jin Lan, who had just woken up, received a notification that William from France was coming to Qincheng.

William, a member of royalty—a formidable figure—was coming to Qincheng? Could it be because of Ye Aotian?

The instructions were simple: take care of such an esteemed guest. Jin Lan had to fulfill her role as the top authority in the city. Indeed, the protagonist always had plenty of support.

By eight o’clock in the morning, the plane had landed at the airport. A man silently stepped off the plane, accompanied by five people.

Three women, two men.

The two men were particularly robust—they were twins. The three women, one more spirited and beautiful than the next. Surprisingly, after getting off the plane, the three women departed.

The reason they returned to China was simply to go back home. These three had been on a journey of self-training. Now that it was over, returning home was only natural.

Just a few days earlier, William had noticed something was off. The three women’s behavior had started to change. They occasionally investigated matters in Qincheng and even looked into a man named Chen Fan.

This confused William.

However, after investigating with his own connections and discovering the enmity between Chen Fan and Ye Aotian, he immediately understood. It had to be Ye. His skills at wooing women were truly remarkable. Unbeknownst to anyone, these three women had already begun to help him.

Ye Aotian was indeed a master at picking up women. Even when not around them, he still garnered their concern.

Compared to him, William realized he still had work to do.

“Where are they?”

Ye Aotian picked up William.

William replied, “They went home. Said their training was over.”

“Hmm, I see. Da Xiong, Er Xiong, you two have gotten stronger!”

The two brothers looked at Ye Aotian and laughed heartily. Da Xiong lifted Ye Aotian and gave him a crushing bear hug.

“Wow, Ye Aotian, you’ve gotten stronger.”

“Of course.”

Er Xiong chimed in, “Looks like you’ve stepped into the world of ancient martial arts. Congratulations!”

Ye Aotian responded, “We’ll spar when we have time, and you’ll see my strength.”

William yawned slightly and said, “I’m big shot, a prince, yet no one has come to greet me?”

At that moment, a car pulled up near the airport. Jin Lan stepped out and said, “Hello, I’m the top official in Qincheng.”

William looked at Jin Lan, incredulous. “Ye, don’t tell me this woman is also yours.”

“Her name is Jin Lan. She’s the top official in the city. It’s not what you think.”

William gave him a look that clearly said, “You expect me to believe that?”

Jin Lan, of course, understood their silent exchange. She struggled to suppress her anger. Apparently, that bullet hadn’t taught Ye Aotian a lesson yet. Fine, let’s take it slow—there’s no rush.

Jin Lan had been frustrated for days, mainly because she hadn’t seen Chen Fan in a long time.
