Jin Yao's friend An Xiu, who came early to the class, saw Yue Ran's figure and asked, "Miss Yue, why do you keep bringing Jin Yao breakfast? I've already told you before that the breakfast you gave him has never been touched by him before."
An Xiu: And I am also the one eating them all. Well, more like I asked for it before Jin Yao could throw the delicious food away in the trash.
Yue Ran raised her eyes to look at An Xiu when she heard his words. An Xiu only felt blinded by her beauty: slender eyelashes, black pupils, a small button nose, bright red lips, and a stunning white Lolita gown, making him suspect that this is a real-life living doll!
Anyway, there's definitely nothing wrong with Yue Ran's exquisite appearance!
However, Yue Ran's sweet and clear voice pulled An Xiu back from his thoughts. "Senior An Xiu, no matter whether Senior Jin Yao eats the breakfast I sent or not, that is up to him," she said. "I only did this because I like him, and I will not change my decision!" Yue Ran's eyes were firm as she spoke out those words.
"Okay, okay." Anyway, it was he who ate it, not to mention it was brought by a beautiful woman, so it tasted heavenly! He would not be disadvantaged in any way!
"Yue Ran." Jin Yao's voice sounded behind her, and Yue Ran turned around slowly. She inwardly sighed at her blunder. She should've gotten out quickly after leaving the breakfast package on Jin Yao's desk. But now she had to come face-to-face with him.
Yue Ran turned around with a big smile on her lips. "Senior Jin Yao, you are still so handsome today!" Her eyes were full of admiration for him. "I can't help but look at you again and again." She bowed her head a little and smiled embarrassedly. It was just like the most dazzling warm sun in spring: the upward arc was just right; the eyebrows were curved; and the affection in her eyes was enough to make people drown in it. "I like you even more today than yesterday!"
Jin Yao looked at Yue Ran and was slightly stunned, dazed for just a moment. Gathering his thoughts, he said, "Didn't I already say that I don't like you, and I don't plan on dating anyone?"
Yue Ran curled his lips aggrievedly. "I just wanted to see you before the start of my class, and I want to hand you the breakfast I made." She looked down at her clenched fists, which crumpled her dress. "Humph, you big fool who doesn't understand girls!" She huffed and quickly ran away, leaving behind a slightly bewildered Jin Yao.
Jin Yao was baffled at what just occurred. He didn't say anything too excessive, did he?
After thinking about it, Jin Yao only sat down in his usual seat and studied with peace of mind. But before he does, he stares at the breakfast given by Yue Ran on the top of his desk, hesitating for a moment but still pushing it over to An Xiu.
An Xiu gladly took over the breakfast. "Thanks bro!"
Yue Ran was humming a catchy tune while walking towards her class in the next building.
"Ruan Ruan, our next goal is the villain, Mu Chen." Yue Ran waved to a few acquaintances she knew while chatting with her system in her head.
"Yes, Master!" Ruan Ruan cheered. It's the last strategy target that they have yet to meet.
"Search him up for me."
"Got it!" Ruan Ruan replied before saying, "The villain, Mu Chen, is making a big transaction in the underworld with his rival recently, and, oh!"
Ruan Ruan feels very excited. "I just checked the villain's news and discovered a hidden setting that Lord God has kept so well concealed!"
"Oh, tell me." Yue Ran inwardly raised a brow, feeling curious.
"During this transaction, the villain will be betrayed by his subordinates, suffer serious injuries, and then be saved by the female protagonist!" Ruan Ruan said, then adding, "Lord God really wants Master to fail."
"To think that he had planted such a cunning trick up his sleeve." Yue Ran opened the door to her class and settled down in her usual seat. "He is no Lord God if he doesn't do it now, huh?"
"Yeah, Lord God is so cunning!" Ruan Ruan echoed cutely.
"So it was no wonder that the villain easily fell in love with the female protagonist." Yue Ran leaned back in her seat. "That was also why the original body felt that the villain's attraction towards the female protagonist was simply baffling." She smiled at Lin Li, who waved to her as soon as she came through the door. "So there was such a reason."
"The female protagonist deserves to be the female protagonist." Yue Ran sighed. "She can save a big boss who has such great influence in the underworld with just a casual walk around her block." She yawned a little. "I guess I'll need to speed up my process."
Infinity Capital Nightclub
Mu Chen was drinking red wine from his goblet, leaning his back against a black leather sofa, with his long legs crossed in a dignified way. His fox-like eyes were hidden under the shadows of thick and curled eyelashes, and the only downside to his appearance was the frown sitting on his face that distorted his mesmerizing features.
"Do you not want to confess?"
Originally, this small matter could be handled by others, but there was a traitor in this so-called "small matter," and he hated traitors the most. To survive on the cold, dirty streets of a dog-eat-dog world, he had long learned the hard way that loyalty is the most important thing and betrayal is the most intolerable.
The face of the man who was being pressed to the ground was bruised and purple. When he opened his mouth, one could see that one of his front teeth was missing. The words he uttered were a little unclear, seemingly breathless. The most update n0vels are published on novel·fıre·net
"Master Mu, Lord Mu." He breathed in heavily, then proceeded to kowtow and beg for mercy. "Please forgive me. The location of the transaction was given to me by Boss Hu; it was Boss Hu who gave it to me! I really, really don't know anything else! Please! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes slightly; his pitch-black eyes reflected the ugly and pathetic appearance of the person on the ground. Not a single person in the room could guess Mu Chen's mind. They didn't know just what he was thinking while he drank the red wine in his goblet. "Forget it; take him away and heal him well."
It's not that Mu Chen sympathizes with the man, but he knows fully well that the man groveling on the ground is not lying. Although he is not a good person, he will not kill others at will. He isn't mad, nor is he a tyrant.
And about Boss Hu, he is definitely the person he least wants to suspect—and does not want to suspect.
Boss Hu has always acted as his right-hand man. Since he was thrown out by his father into the bottom tier of the gang, he and Boss Hu have always supported each other, fought side by side in many fights together, and rose up the ranks together.
From the lowest of the low, Mu Chen slowly fought his way up and became the head of his own team, making his own party in the underworld.
After his father died, he inherited everything. And the first thing he did when he became king of the underworld was to promote Boss Hu to be his most capable subordinate, his right-hand man, whom he thought he could forever trust.
He just didn't understand why, and he didn't know the reason why Boss Hu would ever betray him. Is that even possible?
Mu Chen sighed and made a hard decision. He decided to give Boss Hu another chance.
