《The Villainess Forced the Heroine to Wed Me at the Start》


 CH 1

    Chapter 1: The Female Lead Tied Up!


    Shanghai,


    Inside a suite in a secluded corner of a certain five-star hotel.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°Where am I?¡±


    Lu Fei looked bewildered as he found himself sitting on the bed.


    Next to him was a stunningly beautiful woman with a side profile that looked elegant, charming, and gorgeous.


    The girl was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed not far from Lu Fei.


    Lu Fei cautiously turned his head to take a look at the stunningly beautiful woman sleeping next to him.


    Suddenly, a flood of memories rushed into his mind.


    It took a while for Lu Fei to realize that he had traveled to another world.


    Moreover, he was reincarnated in an urban novel that he read not long ago.


    And he had become the lackey of one of the arrogant and proud second-generation women of a wealthy family in the novel.


    And the woman sleeping next to him was the first female protagonist in the book.


    Jiang Wenying!


    Because the scheming green tea villain, who was his boss, knew that the male lead liked Jiang Wenying, was immediately provoked and had someone drug Jiang Wenying.


    She also arranged for one of her followers to take advantage of her and took pictures to blackmail Jiang Wenying, so as to disgust the male lead, and even force the female lead to marry one of her followers!


    ¡°Hisss¡­¡±


    As the memories came flooding in, Lu Fei took a deep breath.


    He froze in place.


    Is this for real?


    Lu Fei turned his head again and looked at the delicate nose of the woman beside him, which was now blushing slightly, and her calm breathing was completely different from her usual cold and aloof demeanor.


    To be honest, Lu Fei was tempted!


    But he knew that if he really gave in to his desires and had a night of pleasure, he would be hunted down by various forces with no way out.


    Sitting up in bed, Lu Fei carefully got up and recalled the early plot of the book:


    Although Jiang Wenying¡¯s family was not as powerful as the scheming green tea villainess¡¯s family, they were still a well-known and influential family in Shanghai.


    Once he really followed the instructions of the scheming Green Tea villainess, or couldn¡¯t resist doing the deed, the matter would inevitably be exposed.


    At that time, the Green Tea villainess might be confined by the family for a few days or might come to apologize in person.


    But what about him?


    With no background at all, he was just a useless little follower.


    He would definitely be pushed out by her father, the villain boss, to be a scapegoat.


    What troubled Lu Fei the most was that the destined male protagonist in the novel would also spare no effort to hunt him down.


    Thinking of this, Lu Fei¡¯s fiery heart was suddenly cooled down by a bucket of cold water, and he became completely calm.


    I¡¯m just a little follower, how can I handle all of this?


    According to the original plot.


    He didn¡¯t even make it to three chapters.


    He was just a transparent character who didn¡¯t even touch Jiang Wenying¡¯s hand.


    Before he even had a chance to take action, Jiang Wenying actually woke up, and while struggling with each other, they were caught in the act by the people brought by the male protagonist.


    And his role in this book was completely over.


    As for whether he would be reduced to a useless person or would just live a life of eating and doing nothing, the book didn¡¯t describe it in detail.


    Maybe this is the tragedy of a little follower.


    No!


    I must save myself!


    He didn¡¯t know if he would have the opportunity to travel through time again next time.


    If he didn¡¯t, then he would be truly dead.


    ¡­


    Coming back to his senses.


    Lu Fei took a glance at the ups and downs of the bulge beside him.


    He rolled his eyes.


    If he hadn¡¯t read the novel and known the plot well, he would have thought that Jiang Wenying was completely drugged and passed out.


    But he knew.


    Actually, when Jiang Wenying drank the drugged drink, she didn¡¯t take much, so she could stay clear-headed at a critical moment.


    Just as he was about to get down to the business, Jiang Wenying suddenly woke up and hit him with the table lamp on the bedside.


    It was with these actions that Jiang Wenying had been stalling for time, waiting for the rescue of the destined male lead.


    And it was from this moment on that Jiang Wenying¡¯s attitude towards the destined male lead began to change.


    A thought occurred to him.


    Lu Fei slowly approached the head of the bed.


    If one listens carefully, one can hear the breathing of the sleeping beauty lying on the bed was slightly irregular.


    Of course, Lu Fei wasn¡¯t really going to do anything strange, but at the fastest speed, he moved the table lamp and desk phone away from the head of the bed.


    Then the sound stopped.


    In the whole room, only the breathing sounds of the two of them could be heard.


    Soon, Lu Fei stared at Jiang Wenying lying on the bed and said, ¡°Stop pretending, wake up, I have something to explain to you.¡±


    As the voice sounded, Jiang Wenying¡¯s breathing paused.


    But after a moment, she remained motionless, as if really drugged and passed out.


    Lu Fei couldn¡¯t help but feel speechless when he noticed this change.


    The female lead had such low intelligence, yet he still enjoyed watching her story and couldn¡¯t help but imagine having a wife like the female lead.


    ¡°Your breathing gave you away. The breathing of a normal unconscious person is even, and you pretended well before, but when I said the previous sentence, you completely exposed yourself.¡±


    Lu Fei was too lazy to talk to Jiang Wenying about anything else and directly exposed her.


    After saying this sentence, Lu Fei thought that this woman would confess and stop pretending.


    Unexpectedly.


    Jiang Wenying seemed to have become addicted to pretending to be asleep and remained motionless.


    ¡°Jiang, I¡¯m not joking with you. If you keep pretending like this, I¡¯ll just strip off your clothes. Since you¡¯re not conscious, I can do whatever I want with you!¡±


    As he spoke, Lu Fei approached Jiang Wenying with a ruffian-like appearance, taking slow and light steps.

    Chapter 2: Remember to take pictures!!


    With each step he took on the ground, it felt like it was landing on Jiang Wenying¡¯s heart.


    She couldn¡¯t gamble on whether Lu Fei would actually have the guts to do it.


    Even if she might be rescued soon.


    But,


    Once someone saw her in disarray like this.


    Although nothing happened between them, it would definitely lead to people¡¯s imaginations.


    In the end, she didn¡¯t dare to take the risk!


    Finally unable to pretend anymore, Jiang Wenying instantly opened her bright and lively eyes.


    Like a frightened little deer, she glared at Lu Fei with a fierce look and shouted:


    ¡°You jerk, how dare you!¡±


    In the eyes of Lu Fei, Jiang Wenying¡¯s gaze didn¡¯t have any oppressive feeling, but rather a cute and silly look.


    If it was a different man, his firm heart would almost instantly lose its reason under her stimulation.


    Seeing that Jiang Wenying finally couldn¡¯t pretend anymore.


    Lu Fei stopped and smiled as he looked at her with interest.


    Previously, he had only glanced at Jiang Wenying¡¯s profile, and even then, she had a stunning and charming beauty. Now that her entire face was exposed to Lu Fei.


    Compared to just seeing her side profile, she was even more stunning.


    Her lips were sucking on a strand of hair at the corner of her mouth and her lively eyes were filled with panic, making her look vulnerable, which made people easy to feel protective of her at first glance.


    She was the first female lead to appear in the novel, and her appearance was simply amazing.


    No wonder the destined male lead spent so much effort on winning her over.


    In fact, when he read the book and saw how the male lead only focused on winning over Jiang Wenying, ignoring other women.


    Lu Fei had felt somewhat annoyed, thinking that the portrayal of the hero was too stupid.


    For the sake of one tree, he abandoned an entire forest.


    However, at this moment, Lu Fei realized that it wasn¡¯t entirely the fault of the destined male lead.


    After a brief admiration of Jiang Wenying¡¯s appearance, Lu Fei quickly withdrew his gaze and asked,


    ¡°What, you¡¯re not going to pretend anymore?¡±


    ¡°You bastard, I¡¯m calling the police. You¡¯re done for!¡±


    Jiang Wenying didn¡¯t listen to Lu Fei¡¯s words, angrily staring at him while holding the blanket in front of her.


    ¡°What are you calling the police for? If I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it already.¡±


    ¡°I still have many years of youth left, I don¡¯t want to die so soon.¡±


    Helplessly, Lu Fei explained to Jiang Wenying,


    ¡°You know Mu Ruoxue, right? She¡¯s my boss, and she forced me to do this. I¡¯m just a little follower, I don¡¯t have any say in this.¡±


    As he spoke, Lu Fei explained the situation to Jiang Wenying.


    Jiang Wenying calmed down and looked at Lu Fei, but she didn¡¯t believe him.


    She just wanted to call the police. Before she felt completely safe, she didn¡¯t trust this handsome-looking person with impure motives.


    Seeing that Jiang Wenying still didn¡¯t believe him, Lu Fei sighed and said,


    ¡°You do know that your Jiang family is in contact with the Mu family for cooperation, right?¡±


    ¡°And you¡¯re just a remarkable person with no real power, just a second daughter born of a mistress.¡±


    As he spoke, Lu Fei sat down on the sofa, opened the red wine bottle placed on the nearby cabinet, and poured himself a glass of wine.


    Jiang Wenying didn¡¯t realize that, at some point, her attention had been controlled by Lu Fei¡¯s rhythm.


    ¡°Oh, by the way, your older brother is the heir of your family, so would it be useful for you to call the police?¡±


    ¡°Even if you report to the police, I will be caught, sentenced, and die, while the Mu family will have no problems.¡±


    ¡°In that case, I might as well listen to Mu Ruoxue¡¯s words, eat you up completely, and then take pictures! As the saying goes, dying under the peony flowers is also romantic!¡±


    As he spoke, Lu Fei had already stood up, staring at Jiang Wenying without blinking.


    It seemed that Lu Fei¡¯s gaze was too direct, and Jiang Wenying felt uncomfortable and avoided his scorching eyes.


    From childhood to adulthood, she had only interacted with polite people. Even if some people were not like that, they would still put on airs in front of beautiful women.


    Unlike Lu Fei, who was so bold in looking at her, as if he were scanning a perfect piece of art.


    After a moment of silence, Lu Fei suddenly shifted his gaze away from Jiang Wenying and continued,


    ¡°There is another way, which is to pretend that I have succeeded with you.¡±


    ¡°Of course, you need to cooperate by making a few sounds, and I¡¯ll record it and let you go.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenying was immediately shocked by Lu Fei¡¯s bold words, and her ups and downs were so high that even the blanket couldn¡¯t completely cover her.


    ¡°You bastard, this is absolutely impossible!¡±


    ¡°But currently, this is the only way, unless you think you are more important than the Mu family¡¯s legitimate line and want to try to refuse.¡±


    Hearing this, Jiang Wenying couldn¡¯t help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart, and her bright eyes dimmed instantly.


    In fact, she had already understood Lu Fei¡¯s words in her heart and knew that they were not false.


    But to ask her to cooperate and make those strange sounds, what does he take her for?


    This is absolutely not okay!


    ¡°Ding!¡±


    Suddenly, a message tone came from the phone in Lu Fei¡¯s pocket.


    A message was received from an unfamiliar phone number, which read:


    [Is everything done? Hurry up and finish it, also don¡¯t forget to take photos!]


    After opening the phone and reading the message, Lu Fei chuckled lightly.


    Without avoiding Jiang Wenying, he casually tossed the phone to her, exposing the content to her.


    ¡°You can see for yourself, is it going to be a wild night together, or are you going to cooperate?¡±


    Lu Fei threw the question back at Jiang Wenying.


    As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and sometimes it¡¯s better to let people figure things out on their own.


    Talking too much can be counterproductive.

    Chapter 3: Should I show you a couple of movies?


    Looking at the faint light on the phone screen and the message displayed on it.


    Jiang Wenying bit her lip lightly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly as if hesitating endlessly.


    Time seemed to stand still for a long time.


    Seeing this, Lu Fei did not urge her.


    He went to the sofa, poured himself another glass of wine, and slowly savored it.


    Before crossing over, he was just an ordinary office worker and basically had no chance to drink such expensive wine.


    The bottle he held in his hand was called Bordeaux red wine, although it was only served in five-star hotels to entertain guests.


    But outside, it was worth at least 5,000 yuan.


    No matter how greedy he was, he won¡¯t spend a month¡¯s salary just to have a sip of red wine.


    After a while, Lu Fei took a sip of the red wine and looked at Jiang Wenying who was struggling and hesitating with his dark eyes.


    Jiang Wenying stared at Lu Fei, her heart in conflict.


    She pursed her lips tightly, thinking deeply.


    Not agreeing meant that this bastard would not let her go easily.


    Jiang Wenying still felt weak in her body at the moment. The drug¡¯s effect had not completely dissipated, and even if she resisted, she could not resist a man.


    But if she agreed, it would be embarrassing at best. Apart from some impact on her reputation, she would not be physically harmed.


    After weighing it for a long time, Jiang Wenying nodded lightly and chose to agree.


    Seeing Jiang Wenying agree, Lu Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest trouble at the moment was finally solved.


    Without wasting any time, Lu Fei picked up his phone, opened a recording app, and handed it to Jiang Wenying.


    He stared at her and said lightly:


    ¡°Go ahead and shout.¡±


    Jiang Wenying, ¡°???¡±


    She couldn¡¯t believe she was being asked to do something so embarrassing so casually.


    What kind of person does he take her for?


    Reluctantly, Jiang Wenying took the phone, her breathing becoming more and more irregular.


    Five minutes passed, and Lu Fei frowned as he watched Jiang Wenying holding the phone, with her pink lips slightly parted in an attempt to make the requested sound, but she couldn¡¯t.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to give the female lead more time, but he was afraid that the destined male lead would show up at any moment.


    Sometimes, you just had to admire the luck of the destined male lead.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you do it? Do you want me to find a couple of movies for you to get the feel?¡±


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Jiang Wenying gave him a fierce glare.


    ¡°Hmph, I haven¡¯t had those experiences, I can only do my best to act this part!¡±


    Jiang Wenying suddenly snorted and said, ¡°If it can¡¯t be done, forget it. I¡¯ll just call the police and we¡¯ll go our separate ways!¡±


    She threw the phone at Lu Fei, showing an attitude of ¡°it¡¯s up to you to decide.¡±


    Seeing this, Lu Fei could only shake his head and advise her:


    ¡°If you¡¯re going to pretend, at least pretend well. Don¡¯t reveal yourself. We¡¯ll both end up badly!¡±


    Hearing Lu Fei¡¯s suddenly gentle voice, Jiang Wenying regained some of her senses.


    After suppressing her restless heart, she returned to normal.


    It was just a normal transaction, and it was even a beneficial one for herself. If worse came to worst, she could just call out loud, as if she was speaking to a dog!


    Thinking this through, Jiang Wenying became completely calm.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, in a villa.


    Lin Ran suddenly felt his heart sink as if something had happened.


    He felt inexplicably annoyed.


    Just at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.


    After looking at the number, Lin Ran hesitated for a moment but finally frowned and answered the call.


    A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.


    And from the owner of this unfamiliar voice, he learned the news that was enough to make him furious.


    His beloved woman, Jiang Wenying, had an accident and was now in a five-star hotel having an affair.


    Upon hearing this news, Lin Ran did not hesitate at all, he quickly got into his Mercedes and hurried to his destination.


    At this moment, the phone call had already been hung up, and calling back showed it was an invalid number.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Ran angrily hit the steering wheel, and his anxiety was uncontrollably spreading.


    He looked at the rearview mirror above his head and felt like he had a green hat on top of him.


    This made his complexion even more terrible.


    ¡ª¨C


    In hotel,


    Inside a certain remote room.


    Jiang Wenying¡¯s face had a hint of unnatural redness, but her expression was emotionless as she stared at Lu Fei.


    Lu Fei, who had just obtained the recording, was happy for a moment, but before he could be happy for long, he suddenly froze in place.


    A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and a virtual screen appeared before his eyes.


    [Congratulations, you have awakened the villain¡¯s follower system!]


    [Changed the plot!]


    [Self-rescue successful!]


    [Congratulations on obtaining +100 Destiny Value¡± (Changing the plot causes the loss of the male protagonist¡¯s luck, and Destiny Value can be used for lottery draws.)]


    [Obtained the Novice Gift Package:


    Body Reconstruction: The system will transform the host¡¯s body, giving them ten times the physical qualities of an ordinary person.


    Mastery of Combat: Superb combat abilities that can rival those of a special forces soldier.]


    A series of system prompts sounded.


    Immediately, Lu Fei felt his body undergoing rapid changes, with muscles contracting and becoming extremely elastic, and bones constantly compressing and increasing in density.


    In less than five seconds, Lu Fei felt his body become incredibly powerful.


    His mind was also filled with many special forces combat techniques, which seemed to be innate and engraved in his mind.


    Lu Fei was overjoyed.


    The system had finally arrived!!


    Holy shit, he finally had the ability to protect himself!


    It was practically impossible for him, a small follower, to survive in this hellish level of difficulty.


    Furthermore, he might be targeted by the son of destiny.


    It was widely known that once targeted by a male protagonist, there was basically no good ending.


    Especially for a small follower like him, a small transparent person, wouldn¡¯t he just die even faster?!

 CH 4

    Chapter 4: The son of Destiny felt green all over!


    Jiang Wenying looked at Lu Fei, who was suddenly stunned in place, somewhat puzzled.


    But in the next moment, she felt that the current Lu Fei seemed to be a bit different from before.


    ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, let¡¯s go!¡±


    Lu Fei looked up at Jiang Wenying, who was staring at him and spoke.


    Jiang Wenying, who suddenly snapped out of it, quickly regained her nonchalant demeanor and stepped forward with her slender legs.


    But secretly, she kept calming down her nervousness, which almost gave her away.


    What was wrong with her? How could she suddenly be stunned by a man?


    This did not fit her personality at all!


    She shook off the random thoughts in her mind and followed Lu Fei down the stairs.


    Walking ahead, Lu Fei suddenly remembered something.


    Although he had changed some of the plots, the subsequent plot would still continue to unfold.


    According to the plot, Lu Fei remembered that it was time for the male protagonist to appear.


    As he walked down the stairs, Lu Fei¡¯s mind was constantly filled with background information about the male protagonist.


    -Lin Ran.


    He was a young master of the Lin family in Binjiang City. Although the Lin family was considered a leading family in Binjiang City, they were far from being as prominent as compared to the top families in Shanghai.


    They were more like a second or third-rate family.


    He was taken in as an apprentice by a master at a young age and practiced medicine. He had incredible medical skills and was also a formidable fighter. He could easily take on three to five ordinary special forces soldiers.


    This setting was very similar to the plot of a master returning from seclusion.


    And from tonight onwards, Lin Ran would be in the sight of major forces, embarking on his journey of counter-attacking life.


    ¡­


    Just as he had descended the stairs, before Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying had even separated, they heard a shout from the entrance.


    ¡°Wenying, are you okay?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, with me here, no one will dare to lay a finger on you!¡±


    Lin Ran strode towards them with an imposing manner and his eyes almost spitting fire.


    He had just arrived at this five-star hotel, and before he had even entered, he saw the woman who was almost his intended target walking with a handsome man.


    This made Lin Ran feel like his blood was boiling and his head was filled with an endless expanse of grassland.


    Upon hearing Lin Ran¡¯s voice, Jiang Wenying stopped in her tracks, furrowing her brows slightly with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.


    She spoke with a distant tone,


    ¡°Mr. Lin, please just call me by my name. We¡¯re not close enough to use such a familiar form of address.¡±


    ¡°If people misunderstand, it¡¯s not good for either of us!¡±


    Lin Ran stood there with an embarrassed look on his face.


    He didn¡¯t expect that he would receive such a response after going through all the trouble of coming from so far away to save her.


    Suddenly, Lin Ran¡¯s gaze turned to Lu Fei, who was standing next to Jiang Wenying and stared at him with a resentful expression.


    He had witnessed Jiang Wenying, who was usually cold and aloof in public, walking so closely with a stranger in the hotel. Could this guy be the one who was plotting against Jiang Wenying?


    Thinking of this, Lin Ran put on a sincere and affectionate expression, looking at Jiang Wenying and saying,


    ¡°Is it this guy who wants to harm you? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let him get away with it!¡±


    Upon hearing Lin Ran¡¯s words, Jiang Wenying felt a bit uneasy in her heart, her face flashing a hint of awkwardness.


    After all, she had only recently made those embarrassing sounds in front of Lu Fei.


    Although she knew that it was all just acting, she still couldn¡¯t help but feel a little embarrassed.


    But soon, Jiang Wenying regained her composure and said,


    ¡°I don¡¯t know him, we just happened to run into each other.¡±


    To avoid any further trouble, Jiang Wenying chose to conceal the fact that she knew Lu Fei.


    But who is Lin Ran?


    With his extraordinary medical skills and formidable strength, he could observe even the slightest details clearly.


    Of course, he saw the fleeting unnatural expression on Jiang Wenying¡¯s face.


    Lin Ran thought, ¡°Everything has changed.¡±


    What was the Jiang Wenying he knew like?


    She was cold but courteous, and she maintained a distance from strange men.


    But now she¡¯s lying for a man?


    Jiang Wenying noticed Lin Ran¡¯s incredulous gaze and felt disgusted, thinking that he was also a hypocritical man who put on a false front.


    People like him were among the ones she despised the most.


    She said to Lin Ran in a cold tone,


    ¡°Mr. Lin, we¡¯ve only met a few times. I hope you will behave yourself and not cause any misunderstandings.¡±


    With that, Jiang Wenying didn¡¯t want to linger in the lobby any longer as she was feeling tired.


    The effects of the drug in her body had not completely dissipated, making her mentally weak.


    Lost in thought, she didn¡¯t see the path beneath her feet and was about to fall when Lu Fei instinctively held her willow waist, preventing her from being scared and losing her beautiful expression or accidentally hitting the ground.


    ¡°Be careful not to fall!¡± he said.


    Feeling her earlobes tickling, Jiang Wenying¡¯s mind went into disarray.


    Panicking, she steadied herself and regained her composure.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Forcing herself to calm down, she thanked him and left, her high heels clicking against the floor.


    But in Lin Ran¡¯s eyes, this scene ignited his emotions and he glared angrily at Lu Fei.

 CH 5

    Chapter 5: I just like how you don¡¯t like me but can¡¯t do anything about it!


    Jiang Wenying¡¯s beautiful figure gradually disappeared.


    At this moment, only Lu Fei and Lin Ran were left in the hall.


    Lin Ran¡¯s unpleasant gaze swept over Lu Fei.


    From Lu Fei¡¯s attire, although expensive it was only relative to ordinary people.


    In the upper circles, such an outfit was almost equivalent to wearing street stall goods.


    Thinking about it, he should not be someone with a background.


    Immediately, Lin Ran started exerting his momentum on Lu Fei.


    After years of practicing martial arts in the mountains, Lin Ran¡¯s fierce momentum made most ordinary beasts back off before even fighting.


    So, Lin Ran wanted to use his momentum to oppress Lu Fei first, and when Lu Fei was frightened, he would then teach him a lesson.


    Let him understand that not all women are available to him.


    However, as Lin Ran suppressed his momentum, he saw that Lu Fei did not seem to be affected by it.


    This made Lin Ran¡¯s face slightly sink, feeling somewhat surprised.


    ¡°With which hand of yours did you touch Wenying just now?¡±


    Lin Ran¡¯s tone was chilling, making people tremble in fear.


    But Lu Fei didn¡¯t take Lin Ran¡¯s threat to heart at all.


    Lu Fei remembered that during this period of time, Lin Ran came to Shanghai to seek cooperation with the Jiang family when their family was weak.


    However, the Mu family behind Lu Fei was even higher than the Jiang family and was not something that the family behind Lin Ran could afford to offend.


    Lin Ran came to Shanghai with the purpose of obtaining Jiang Wenying, whom he could make his own woman, and also use the Jiang family behind her to support his own family.


    Killing two birds with one stone.


    One couldn¡¯t help but think that this kind of son of destiny was really treacherous and despicable.


    Treating women as tools for his own use, and using ¡°love¡± as a mere excuse for his exploitation.


    Thinking of this, Lu Fei smiled indifferently and looked at Lin Ran provocatively, saying,


    ¡°Try touching me and see what happens. My boss is Mu Ruoxue, the eldest daughter of the Mu family. If you dare to touch me, you¡¯re slapping the Mu family¡¯s face!¡±


    ¡°With your meager wealth, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not even worth it for the Mu family to even pinch it with one finger.¡±


    Lu Fei stared arrogantly and provocatively at Lin Ran, even bringing his face closer to him in a challenging manner, portraying the image of an overbearing and arrogant little follower perfectly.


    Seeing Lu Fei pretending to be Mu Ruoxue¡¯s accomplice, Lin Ran¡¯s anger burned within him.


    Mu Ruoxue!


    He should have known it was that crazy woman¡¯s idea.


    But then he thought of the damn Mu family in Shanghai.


    He had to forcibly suppress his anger.


    Lin Ran took a deep look at Lu Fei, his eyes slightly gloomy, but ultimately he did nothing and left angrily.


    In his eyes, Lu Fei was just a dog of the Mu family, a small lackey who was insignificant.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Mu family backing him up, he could easily crush this ant with one hand.


    With that in mind, Lin Ran could only remember Lu Fei¡¯s appearance, as long as he had the chance in the future, it would be easy to kill off one or more lackeys.


    As for Lu Fei, seeing Lin Ran leave with a wave of full anger in his heart, he felt great satisfaction.


    Why not use one¡¯s background when available?


    If not, do we have to use our heads like a hammer?


    Although with his current strength, he was not afraid of Lin Ran at all, who knew if Lin Ran had a protagonist halo when he really started to fight, and a small outburst could kill him?


    Moreover¡­ this feeling of acting tough was just too satisfying.


    He just like watching the protagonist¡¯s face turn sour and being unable to do anything about it,


    That¡¯s the fun of being a follower, isn¡¯t it?


    At this moment.


    His phone suddenly rang.


    The number displayed on the screen started with 1888¡­88.


    Looking at the number, Lu Fei hesitated for a moment


    In Shanghai, there was only one person with such a number ¨C the person in power of the Mu family.


    Mu Changye!


    The phone was connected, and a dull voice came from the phone,


    ¡°You¡¯ve caused quite a stir. Ruoxue has already been placed under house arrest by me. You come to the Mu family and explain yourself.¡±


    ¡°If you want to run, you can try!¡±


    With those two sentences, without giving Lu Fei any chance to explain, the call was hung up.


    A dumbfounded Lu Fei stared at the phone that had already been hung up.


    This pretentious person, I¡¯ll give him a 99 out of 100, deducting one point because it¡¯s not me who¡¯s being pretentious.


    After complaining in his heart, Lu Fei suddenly became interested in Mu Changye.


    It seemed like being a little follower was so interesting.


    Pretending to be cold and letting others take the blame, that¡¯s not bad at all!


    He recalled the description of Mu Changye in the book.


    Mu Changye¡¯s name, placed in other places, might only make people fear him, but in Shanghai, Mu Changye was an all-knowing and all-powerful decision-maker.


    It could be said that in Shanghai, the Mu family was an absolute presence, and Mu Changye was a top-notch tycoon.


    Before long, a brand new Mercedes-Benz suddenly pulled up at the entrance of the hotel.


    A middle-aged man in a butler uniform got out of the Mercedes and approached Lu Fei, saying:


    ¡°Master has ordered you to come to the Mu family.¡±


    Although the tone of the middle-aged man was respectful, Lu Fei could not refuse the request.


    After speaking, the middle-aged man bowed and gestured for Lu Fei to get into the car.


    Without hesitation, Lu Fei sat in the Mercedes and closed his eyes to take a nap.

 CH 6

    Chapter 6: Whoa! Is this a solicitation for me?


    On the west bank of Shanghai,


    Crystal Palace villa complex,


    A well-known gathering place for the wealthy and powerful in Shanghai.


    The environment is beautiful and the air is fresh.


    It¡¯s not just about having money, you also need to have the influence to live here.


    And the Mu family resides in this villa complex.


    The villas here are all very spacious and unique, with each having its own characteristics.


    Among them is villa number one, also known as the King of the Crystal Palace!!


    Whether it¡¯s day or night, three teams of black-clothed bodyguards patrol here.


    When they saw the Mercedes heading toward Villa number one.


    Two or three black-clothed bodyguards checked the car and, after finding no issues, waved it through.


    Lu Fei stepped out of the car.


    At this point, someone was already waiting at the entrance, and upon seeing Lu Fei¡¯s figure, started leading the way.


    ¡°The master is waiting for you in the study!¡±


    Upon entering the villa, the person stopped at the entrance to the study and did not go in.


    Lu Fei nodded and didn¡¯t say much, he just pushed open the door to the study and walked in.


    A voice full of power came from inside,


    ¡°Are you the one who was fooling around with Ruoxue?¡±


    Pushing open the door,


    the first thing he saw were two bodyguards with muscular figures standing.


    Their eyes were sharp and their breaths were heavy, indicating they were top experts.


    A middle-aged man with a big belly, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, sat on a chair.


    But in Shanghai, no one dared to ridicule Mu Changye¡¯s comical appearance.


    In front of him was a pot of tea, obviously waiting for Lu Fei for a while.


    He was Mu Changye.


    The real power holder of the Mu family in Shanghai.


    A big shot whose every move shakes the whole city.


    Upon entering the study, a powerful aura that he had never felt before swept over him.


    Facing such a powerful aura, Lu Fei casually overlooked it.


    Although the name ¡°Mu Changye¡± is a terrifying existence in the hearts of many people, Lu Fei is clearly not among them.


    Because no matter how powerful and strong Mu Changye was, he was just a character in a novel.


    Although Lu Fei has traveled to the world of the novel, he was not particularly afraid in his heart.


    Lu Fei came to Mu Changye and spoke calmly,


    ¡°Master Mu, I can only say that in this world, I am not in control of my own actions. I am just a small follower who must obey Mu Family¡¯s commands.¡±


    Hearing Lu Fei¡¯s explanation, Mu Changye¡¯s squinted eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Lu Fei and said,


    ¡°Do you know the damage you have caused to my Mu family by doing this?¡±


    Hearing this,


    It has to be said Mu Changye¡¯s scheming runs deep.


    He threw all the blame on Lu Fei with just one sentence, making it sound like all the responsibility was caused by Lu Fei alone.


    Just as the two bodyguards standing behind Mu Changye were about to take action to subdue Lu Fei and convict him.


    Lu Fei spoke up,


    ¡°Wait, I hope the master can give me a chance to explain!¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Mu Changye, who heard this, showed a little interest, waved his hand, and gestured for Lu Fei to continue.


    Suddenly, Lu Fei slowly pulled out his phone from his pocket and placed it on Mu Changye¡¯s tea table.


    He explained the whole story to Mu Changye, and throughout the process, Mu Changye¡¯s expression changed from casual to serious and then to approving.


    After finishing, Lu Fei stepped back and looked at Mu Changye, seeming to hope to hear something from him.


    Mu Changye listened intently.


    His eyes, which had been squinted, were now open.


    Looking at Lu Fei, he said,


    ¡°I have to admit that I am also at fault for Ruoxue. She lost her mother when she was young, and as her father, I only treated her well in a material sense to make up for my guilt. I hope it can make up for some of it.¡±


    ¡°But I shouldn¡¯t have relaxed my discipline over her when she was still immature and let her fall for a scumbag.¡±


    ¡°With the power of my Mu family, not to mention this small family, even someone ten times better, as long as he treats Ruoxue well, I will do everything I can for her.¡±


    ¡°But after decades of struggling in the world, although I have no other skills, the one thing I never get wrong is judging people. The guy that Ruoxue likes is not really in love with her, but using her, using the Mu family.¡±


    ¡°Originally, according to my plan, it would be easy to destroy a leading family in Binjiang City, but I was afraid that Ruoxue would misunderstand me, so I haven¡¯t taken action yet.¡±


    ¡°After much thought, I realized that Ruoxue lacks nothing except a confidant, a smart confidant. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have gone astray and ended up where she is now.¡±


    At this point, Mu Changye¡¯s meaning was actually clear without saying it.


    What was he doing?


    He was blatantly recruiting him!


    If an ordinary person heard this, they would have been pleasantly surprised and lost their bearings.


    However, Lu Fei¡¯s face remained unchanged.


    And Mu Changye, seeing Lu Fei¡¯s performance, not only he was not angry but also more satisfied, nodding in approval.


    If Lu Fei had acted like an ordinary person, Mu Changye would have looked down on him. But the more Lu Fei acted like this, the more Mu Changye valued him.


    Such a talent, once he pledged allegiance, would be of tremendous use.


    This was much more useful than three or four loyal and mediocre talents.

 CH 7

    Chapter 7: Really a pervert, killing someone to satisfy twisted desires!


    ¡°Let Ruoxue go.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t keep her locked up for so long, or she¡¯ll go crazy!¡±


    Since no harm was done, there was no need to punish Ruoxue.


    In fact, it took a lot of determination from Mu Changye when he ordered the confinement of Mu Ruoxue.


    To think he came up with such a terrible idea just for a little brat.


    If he didn¡¯t discipline her, who knows what trouble she might have caused.


    One of his bodyguards nodded and left the study quietly.


    Then, Mu Changye turned to Lu Fei and said in a deep voice,


    ¡°I hope you can continue to stay by Ruoxue¡¯s side and prevent her from getting involved with Lin Ran.¡±


    Then, he handed Lu Fei a bank card and said naturally,


    ¡°You can¡¯t be with Ruoxue without some funding. I¡¯ll deposit one million yuan into this account every month. If she needs to buy anything, you can take care of it.¡±


    Lu Fei¡¯s expression flickered as he accepted the bank card with one million yuan deposited into it every month.


    As for Mu Changye¡¯s offer to buy things for Mu Ruoxue, he didn¡¯t need to pay attention to it.


    When Mu Ruoxue was sixteen years old, Mu Changye had already arranged a black card with a credit limit of one billion dollars for her.


    Why would she need him to buy anything?


    In the end, the money in this card actually belonged to Lu Fei.


    On the one hand, Mu Changye took care of Lu Fei¡¯s self-esteem, and on the other hand, he bought his loyalty.


    It must be said that Mu Changye was quite good at playing this trick.


    Soon, a grievous whine came from outside,


    ¡°Daddy, do you not want me anymore? You¡¯ve kept me locked up for so long!¡±


    ¡°You must have a bastard outside and want to leave your property to your son, so you¡¯re planning to abandon Ruoxue, right?¡±


    A petite figure with pink double ponytails, wearing a fluffy knee-length dress and small jade feet wrapped in white stockings, burst in from the door and threw herself on Mu Changye, acting cute.


    Seeing this, Lu Fei couldn¡¯t help but be amazed.


    Is this the Mu Ruoxue who can rival the female lead Jiang Wenying?


    She really is a loli with giant treasures.


    This is not something that can be taken lightly.


    And these delicate feet of hers, not to brag, but he could play with them for a year without getting tired of it.


    Hearing Mu Ruoxue¡¯s words, Mu Changye was also helpless and said unkindly,


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Daddy only has you as a daughter, who else should I leave the family property to?¡±


    Suddenly, Mu Ruoxue frowned and glared at Mu Changye beside her.


    Perhaps only Mu Ruoxue in the entire Shanghai could stare so recklessly at Mu Changye.


    ¡°Oh, Lu Fei, what are you doing here?¡±


    Mu Ruoxue suddenly saw Lu Fei¡¯s figure and was surprised.


    In theory, after being fooled by her, wouldn¡¯t Lu Fei have suffered a terrible fate at the hands of her father?


    How come he¡¯s still standing here safe and sound?


    ¡°Well, from now on, he¡¯ll be by your side. Consider him my confidant. If you dare to act recklessly, watch me put you in confinement for two days.¡±


    Mu Changye spoke up, explaining briefly before pushing Lu Fei towards Mu Ruoxue to continue following her.


    Seeing that Lu Fei was still alive, Mu Ruoxue was full of curiosity and wanted to find out more about him.


    ¡°Dad, I have something to discuss with Lu Fei. We¡¯ll be leaving now!¡± Grabbing Lu Fei, she was about to leave.


    ¡°Go, go, go, don¡¯t bother me!¡± Seeing his daughter¡¯s impetuous manner, Mu Changye couldn¡¯t help but feel a headache.


    ¡°Bye-bye, Dad!¡±


    Turning back to bid farewell to Mu Changye, Mu Ruoxue quickly pulled Lu Fei to a side room.


    Before Lu Fei could catch his breath, Mu Ruoxue stood with her hands on her hips, curiously looking him over, as if trying to see something from him.


    Unable to stand Mu Ruoxue¡¯s scrutinizing gaze like he was some kind of strange creature, Lu Fei grumpily asked,


    ¡°What are you looking at?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just feel like you¡¯re a little different from before!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue looked at Lu Fei, the familiar face, the familiar voice, but felt like he had become a different person.


    ¡°Never mind, forget it. Hurry up and tell me, did you sleep with Jiang Wenying? Did you take photos? And is she particularly self-conscious?¡±


    ¡°Is her figure better than mine?¡±


    ¡°Hey! No need to say! Of course, mine is better. Lin Ran is blind for actually liking that bad woman Jiang Wenying!¡±


    Watching Mu Ruoxue talking to herself, Lu Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly.


    Truly a Villainess, with such neurotic behavior, most people couldn¡¯t do such things.


    I haven¡¯t even seen you naked! How would I know if your figure is better or if Jiang Wenying¡¯s figure is better?!


    ¡°Lu Fei, what are you staring blankly for? Did you take pictures or not? Show me!¡±


    Saying that Mu Ruoxue¡¯s face revealed a mischievous smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement.


    ¡°In that situation, how was I supposed to take pictures?¡±


    Lu Fei was speechless. What was going through Mu Ruoxue¡¯s head?


    ¡°What? You actually ignored my orders!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue frowned, glaring at Lu Fei and screaming.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even though I didn¡¯t take pictures, I recorded the audio!¡±


    Lu Fei handed his phone to Mu Ruoxue. He needed to finish this task quickly, or else this girl would cling to him and not let go.


    Very troublesome.


    Taking the phone, Mu Ruoxue opened the recording and a woman¡¯s moaning could be heard.


    Before five seconds had passed, Mu Ruoxue turned it off, a hint of blush flashing across her fair face.


    ¡°Great, I knew it! This woman is a promiscuous slut. Lin Ran still didn¡¯t believe it, but with this evidence, I want to see what kind of reaction he¡¯ll have!¡±


    ¡°Yes! Hahaha! I¡¯m going to call Lin Ran right now and let him hear how this slut moans!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue couldn¡¯t help but shout excitedly.

 CH 8

    Chapter 8: Furious son of heaven!


    Seeing the excited expression on Mu Ruoxue¡¯s face.


    Lu Fei was a bit speechless.


    No wonder Mu Ruoxue could become a villain with both cunning and acting skills. Wasn¡¯t this the image of a green tea?


    He dialed the phone number.


    Lin Ran answered the phone, feeling annoyed because of the events that happened today.


    His voice was a bit heavy as he answered,


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, Lin Ran, it¡¯s me. Didn¡¯t expect it, right?¡±


    On the call, Lin Ran recognized Mu Ruoxue¡¯s voice.


    A petite and sweet-looking elf-like girl suddenly appeared in his mind, making his heart feel hot.


    Although Mu Ruoxue had a fiery and neurotic temperament, Lin Ran could accept it in terms of her beauty and background.


    But then he thought of Mu Ruoxue¡¯s father, Mu Changye, the head of the Mu family, and his brows suddenly furrowed.


    He temporarily dismissed his strange thoughts about Mu Ruoxue.


    I don¡¯t dare curse at your dad, but would I not dare to curse at you?


    Lin Ran scolded with a slightly aggressive attitude.


    ¡°Mu Ruoxue, you crazy woman, was the thing with Jiang Wenying your idea?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m telling you, if Wenying wasn¡¯t okay, I wouldn¡¯t have let you go!¡±


    Upon hearing Lin Ran¡¯s loud accusations, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s delicate face wrinkled up.


    ¡°Hmph, you don¡¯t even know how alluring Jiang Wenying¡¯s voice is.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not a bad person, I¡¯ll let you listen and satisfy your curiosity. Don¡¯t say that I, Mu Ruoxue, am stingy!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue then played the recording of a woman¡¯s voice from her phone for Lin Ran to hear.


    On the phone, a woman¡¯s voice could be heard.


    Upon hearing this voice.


    Lin Ran was dumbfounded!!!


    What the hell!


    He could clearly hear that this familiar voice was that of Jiang Wenying.


    The reason he liked Jiang Wenying and considered her his destined woman was mainly because he was attracted to her pure, proud temperament.


    If a woman like that was conquered, it would undoubtedly be the highlight of a man¡¯s life.


    But at this moment, he couldn¡¯t help but imagine his beloved woman lying in bed, making such sounds because of a strange man!


    No one knows that in addition to his impressive martial arts skills, he is particularly skilled in the art of medicine, and he naturally could tell at first glance whether Jiang Wenying was still a virgin.


    But even though he knew this fact clearly, his mind couldn¡¯t help but conjure up such a scene, causing him to feel a surge of jealousy.


    At this thought, Lin Ran almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Lin Ran, this is the woman you like? She¡¯s nothing compared to me, just a woman who sleeps around with anyone.¡±


    ¡°Listen, she¡¯s so skilled at seducing men, who knows how many men she¡¯s slept with before my little follower.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what kind of taste you have, actually liking a woman like her!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue said in a sarcastic tone over the phone.


    Her face was full of undisguised happiness.


    Listening to Mu Ruoxue¡¯s mocking voice, Lin Ran¡¯s mind became muddled and he stuttered,


    ¡°Hmph, I like Jiang Wenying that much, and I don¡¯t like you. Just give up already!¡±


    After speaking, Lin Ran hung up the phone without listening to Mu Ruoxue¡¯s response.


    However, his heavily fluctuating chest revealed that Lin Ran¡¯s emotions were still very unsettled at the moment.


    He squeezed his fingers until they turned white, then fiercely threw his phone against the wall, shattering it into pieces.


    Lin Ran¡¯s eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot, and he let out a roar of anger inside the small villa.


    ¡°Damn the Mu family, one day I will make you fall from the clouds!¡±


    Following that, there were several sounds of things being smashed inside the house.


    ¡­


    On the other side, Mu Ruoxue looked at the hung-up phone with a cold gaze.


    Her eyes were filled with tears, making people feel sorry for her.


    Lin Ran¡¯s last words were like a knife that plunged deep into her heart,


    -Causing heart-wrenching pain.


    But what followed was the resentment born of love.


    What does Lin Ran mean by that?


    As the eldest daughter of the Mu family, how could she be inferior to the Jiang family¡¯s second daughter who had lost her virginity? Does she really mean nothing in his eyes?


    Mu Ruoxue furrowed her crescent-shaped eyebrows and continued to make phone calls.


    Since Lin Ran is so persistent, she will make sure that Jiang Wenying can never get close to him, and that he can experience the feeling of being unable to obtain love.


    ¡°Hello, who is this?¡±


    The phone connected and a clear and cold female voice came through.


    ¡°Guess what, do you think anyone knows that the Jiang family¡¯s Cold Ice beauty has such a hot side?¡±


    Mu Ruoxue didn¡¯t reveal her identity and spoke in a strange tone.


    While quickly playing the recording for Jiang Wenying to hear.


    In less than five seconds, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s voice sounded again.


    ¡°You¡¯re not worthy of Lin Ran at all. I advise you to stay away from him. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that this recording won¡¯t show up somewhere.¡±


    Jiang Wenying remained silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before hanging up without saying a word.

 CH 9

    Chapter 9: Jiang Wenying¡¯s Predicament!


    Mu Ruoxue stared blankly at the suddenly hung-up phone.


    Her eyes became moist.


    Tears fell like flawless white pearls.


    ¡°They all bully me!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Wenying, you¡¯re just a Jiang family¡¯s second daughter and a rotten good, what are you so proud of!¡±


    Looking at Mu Ruoxue¡¯s pitiful appearance like a white lotus flower, Lu Fei finally opened his eyes.


    Isn¡¯t she the one of had nothing better to do and went to provoke others?


    As a result, she was provoked in return and couldn¡¯t handle it.


    If someone else saw this, they would think that someone bullied this fragile and lovely little girl at first glance.


    But the key was that Lu Fei was standing on the side, witnessing the whole process.


    What was this?


    The plot twist didn¡¯t work, instead, it backfired?


    Lu Fei stood beside Mu Ruoxue, looking at the pitiful appearance of this cute little girl who had suffered so much injustice.


    You know, this is at the Mu family¡¯s place.


    If anyone finds out that he and Mu Ruoxue were alone in a room, and Mu Ruoxue still looked like she was being bullied.


    He would have no way to explain himself!


    Moreover, he had just become Mu Changye¡¯s confidant, shouldn¡¯t he show some loyalty?


    Show off his own value, right?


    In the novel, this Mu Ruoxue was just a proud girl who has not had much contact with outsiders and has always been protected.


    I have had many girlfriends like her in my past life, and dealing with this type of woman is just a piece of cake for me.


    Thinking of this, Lu Fei took a step forward.


    He placed his hand on Mu Ruoxue¡¯s snow-white shoulder.


    He acted very convincingly in his inner monologue!


    Lu Fei¡¯s voice was deep and magnetic, as he comforted her softly,


    ¡°Mu, you don¡¯t have to be so sad. Real gems are always covered in dust, and Lin Ran is just temporarily unable to see the gem that is hidden beneath the dust.¡±


    ¡°Besides, you are from the Mu family, while Jiang Wenying is just the second daughter of the Jiang family. In terms of status, she is not even in the same league as you. If you have the chance, you can do whatever you want with her.¡±


    ¡°If you get angry like this, aren¡¯t you just playing into their hands?¡±


    Because Mu Ruoxue wearing a Lolita-style dress, was only about 5¡¯2,  while Lu Fei was 5¡¯8, almost two heads taller than her.


    Therefore, when he lowered his head, he saw a patch of snow-white skin.


    Holy shit!


    She¡¯s worthy of being a loli with giant treasures.


    She¡¯s got something!


    Sure enough!!


    There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.


    After hearing Lu Fei¡¯s comfort, it was the first time Mu Ruoxue experienced someone caring about her in such a thoughtful way.


    Her body trembled slightly, and she unconsciously stopped sobbing.


    From childhood to adulthood, almost everyone she had contact with tried to please her or pretended to care for her because she was the Mu family¡¯s eldest daughter, Mu Changye¡¯s daughter.


    It was more of a flattery or false concern.


    Most of them didn¡¯t dare to speak loudly in front of her, let alone offer this kind of comfort.


    For some reason, she could sense a sincere concern in Lu Fei¡¯s words.


    Of course, it might also have been because of his hand resting on her bare shoulder.


    Although she appeared crazy and neurotic on a daily basis, when it came to physical contact, ever since she could remember, her father had never allowed any male to touch her except for him.


    Of all the people she knew, Lu Fei was the first man who had touched her without permission, and she couldn¡¯t tell if he was bold or just not paying attention.


    ¡­


    In Shanghai,


    Inside a company worth tens of billions.


    Located in the most prosperous area of the city.


    The tall building was owned by the Jiang family.


    On this block, it is the tallest and most imposing building.


    Jiang Wenying, a well-known ice beauty of the Jiang family, despite her outstanding ability, was arranged to work as a director in the building due to her position as the second daughter.


    Belonging to neither high nor low, doing the most work, and eating the most bitterness, she can be replaced at any time in case of any accidents, but it does not affect the normal operation of the company.


    At this moment, Jiang Wenying was sitting in a simply decorated office.


    There was a mobile phone on her desk.


    Her eyes look a bit bewildered.


    In fact, when she answered the phone just now, she already knew that the person on the other end of the line was Mu Ruoxue of the Mu family.


    The mastermind who drugged and kidnapped her from the banquet.


    After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wenying recalled the process of being drugged and kidnapped.


    It was a small banquet initiated by the Jiang family, aiming to discuss cooperation with several weaker companies to complete an order worth 5 billion.


    She remembered that she only took a sip of the drink at the banquet.


    Then she felt dizzy and planned to go to the restroom to clear her mind, but was drugged and taken away completely.


    It should be noted that this was the Jiang family¡¯s territory. If anything happens, the eldest brother or the Jiang family¡¯s interested parties will definitely know about it.


    Although the Jiang family cannot compare to the Mu family in the city, it was also one of the top families.


    It¡¯s easy to find someone if they want to.


    It¡¯s even possible that someone from the Jiang family might have discovered and rescued her before she was taken away.


    But even after returning to the company, everything was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.


    Jiang Wenying wasn¡¯t a fool. It took her a lot of effort to get to where she was today as the second daughter of the family. No one knew better than her.


    But just because the person who did it was from the Mu family.


    Just because she was a woman, a second-born daughter from a mistress.


    Does she deserve to be treated like this?


    In her three years of hard work for the company, she had created profits of no less than 3 billion. Is this the result she deserved- being abandoned so easily?

 CH 10

    Chapter 10: ¡°Let Her Marry You! What Do You Say?¡±


    At the thought of this, a tinge of sadness flickered in Jiang Wenying¡¯s eyes.


    As she pondered, an image of a man flashed through her mind.


    The thing happened at the hotel this morning.


    The guy named Lu Fei who showed calmness under pressure and composure in handling the situation did not seem like those of an ordinary lackey.


    Could there be more to his identity?


    Meanwhile,


    In a small study room in a villa on the west bank of the city.


    Mu Ruoxue had wiped away the tears from her eyes.


    She was not the type to cry easily, but the double blow dealt by Lin Ran and Jiang Wenying had pushed her to the edge.


    Feeling the warmth of Lu Fei¡¯s hand, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s delicate face turned slightly red, like that of a porcelain doll. But soon she concealed it without leaving any trace.


    ¡°Hah, Lu Fei, you have some nerve, touching me in my own house!¡±


    ¡°Quick, tell me, do you have any ulterior motives toward me?¡±


    Mu Ruoxue was quick to change her tune, looking at Lu Fei with shock and disbelief.


    Seeing Mu Ruoxue¡¯s sudden change in attitude, Lu Fei was at a loss for words and almost choked on his breath.


    This was definitely the female antagonist of the novel, with a temper that could hardly be controlled.


    Lu Fei withdrew his hand with a disgruntled expression and retorted,


    ¡°I¡¯ll be damned if I try to do a good deed again. I wouldn¡¯t have bothered to console you if you hadn¡¯t cried like a baby!¡±


    After hearing what Lu Fei said, Mu Ruoxue admitted that her little heart skipped a beat.


    She had never felt this way before.


    She didn¡¯t understand what it meant to have her heart suddenly beating faster and her blood accelerating.


    Even when she first saw Lin Ran, she was only attracted to his temperament and became interested in him.


    But before she got tired of him, Lin Ran distanced himself from her, which made Mu Ruoxue unable to forget him until now.


    Soon, Mu Ruoxue raised her head, glared, and yelled in a coquettish voice,


    ¡°You¡¯re bullying me!¡±


    Lu Fei looked at Mu Ruoxue speechlessly, then looked at the giant pear blossoms.


    Then thought to himself, whatever you say is right.


    Then Lu Fei said casually,


    ¡°Okay, okay, I bullied you, so what?¡±


    He looked at Mu Ruoxue indifferently.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Mu Ruoxue was choked by Lu Fei¡¯s words and immediately changed her expression to a helpless one, looking like a victim.


    Of course, if someone sees Mu Ruoxue¡¯s innocent expression and softens their heart, they would be wrong.


    Usually, when Mu Ruoxue looks the most harmless, it¡¯s a sign that you¡¯re about to suffer.


    Got it!


    Mu Ruoxue looked at Lu Fei¡¯s irritated expression and suddenly came up with a good idea.


    A sweet smile appeared on the corner of Mu Ruoxue¡¯s mouth,


    ¡°Lu Fei, I¡¯m so good to you, how about I find you a wife!¡±


    Looking at Mu Ruoxue¡¯s harmless smile, Lu Fei was not deceived by her words but instead felt something was off.


    Lu Fei smiled and said,


    ¡°Thanks for your kind offer, but my father told me that when I was young, a fortune teller told me that I would have a benefactor at the age of twenty-five. While I may not become a high-ranking official, I¡¯ll have plenty of food and drink. But the only taboo is that I cannot break my virginity before the age of twenty-five!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m only just twenty-two now, so there¡¯s no rush!¡±


    Lu Fei easily dismissed Mu Ruoxue¡¯s offer with nonsense.


    But Mu Ruoxue seemed to have not caught the meaning behind his words. Her eyes lit up as she said:


    ¡°That fortune-teller was wrong,¡± she said. ¡°If you meet a benefactor at the age of twenty-five, you should first establish your career and then start a family. But what if you meet a wealthy woman before then?¡±


    ¡°You can start a family and establish your career at the same time. It¡¯s killing two birds with one stone, and it¡¯s even better than the fortune teller¡¯s prediction. Plus, your future wife will be very beautiful!¡±


    ¡°And if you think you don¡¯t have enough money to support a wife, I¡¯ll steal my dad¡¯s money to support her for you!!!¡±


    ¡°Whoa¡­¡±


    Lu Fei couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath.


    He listened to Mu Ruoxue¡¯s words and felt his teeth chatter.


    Mu Changye had indeed raised a good daughter.


    Stealing her dad¡¯s money to support someone else¡¯s wife¡­


    It¡¯s only because the Mu family is wealthy that someone like Mu Ruoxue can have such crazy ideas.


    Why?


    When a child doesn¡¯t listen, it¡¯s usually because they¡¯ve been spoiled.


    A good beating will fix it.


    Lu Fei also understood why Mu Ruoxue became the female antagonist in this book.


    In the end, Mu Changye¡¯s final outcome was a family tragedy, while Mu Ruoxue was taken into the harem by the protagonist. Wasn¡¯t this all due to Mu Changye spoiling her?


    ¡°Lu Fei, Lu Fei, are you so happy that you¡¯re stunned!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue looked at Lu Fei¡¯s dazed expression, waved her hand in front of his face, and laughed.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t told you who your wife is yet. You¡¯ll definitely be even happier when you find out!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Jiang Wenying! Are you happy? She¡¯s the famous ice beauty in Shanghai. You¡¯re not being wronged to have her as your wife!¡±


    As she spoke, Mu Ruoxue was pleased with the feasibility of her plan.


    Not only could she prevent Lin Ran from continuing to pester Jiang Wenying, but she could also disgust the bad woman Jiang Wenying.


    Who told her to hang up on her?!


    It was a win-win situation, and she was so happy.


    Lu Fei was really great. If it weren¡¯t for his comfort, she probably wouldn¡¯t have come up with this idea!

 CH 11

    Chapter 11: Marriage? It¡¯s just an exchange of interests between big families!


    Mu Ruoxue was the kind of person who acted on her thoughts.


    She acted without hesitation.


    Her lively eyes were full of excitement.


    Without waiting for Lu Fei¡¯s agreement, she rushed to Mu Changye¡¯s study, leaving Lu Fei behind.


    Upon seeing this scene, Lu Fei was about to catch up and stop Mu Ruoxue from acting recklessly.


    Just as he had crossed over, he was a single gentleman with a bright future ahead of him, and he didn¡¯t want to hang himself on the tree and step into the grave of so-called marriage so early.


    However, before Lu Fei could catch up, Mu Ruoxue shouted without turning her head,


    ¡°I need to talk to my dad about something confidential, so no one can come in!¡±


    With that, Mu Ruoxue burst into Mu Changye¡¯s study and closed the door.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Fei could only stand at the door and wait helplessly.


    Mu Changye¡¯s study was not so easy to enter.


    Unlike Mu Ruoxue who could just barge in.


    Even if she smashed the door of the study, Mu Changye would at most dismiss it as a joke.


    Then even have the audacity to ask if Mu Ruoxue¡¯s hand hurt from smashing the door.


    There was still a gap between people.


    In the study, Mu Changye was surprised to see his daughter burst in so recklessly.


    But a smile soon appeared on his face as he asked,


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Ruoxue? Do you need Dad¡¯s help?¡±


    Without even thinking, Mu Changye blurted out subconsciously.


    For so many years, whenever Mu Ruoxue was anxious and in a hurry, there was only one thing she would do, and that was to come to her dad for help.


    Without exception.


    Seeing that without getting to say a word, Mu Changye guessed her intention. Mu Ruoxue put on a pitiful expression and said,


    ¡°Daddy, why do you always think that I¡¯m only here to trouble you every day?


    ¡°I just remembered that you were thirsty, so I came in to pour you some tea!¡±


    As she spoke, Mu Ruoxue continued to act cute while pouring a full cup of tea into the teacup that Mu Changye hadn¡¯t finished drinking from.


    Mu Changye could only smile bitterly. He had already drunk so much tea just now that if he continued like this, his stomach would be filled with nothing but water.


    He took the teacup from Mu Ruoxue without showing any traces of suspicion and put it back on the table. He looked at Mu Ruoxue and said with a smile,


    ¡°If you¡¯re not here for something, then I have work to do!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue continued to put on a cute expression, and a hint of coquettishness flashed in her eyes. Finally, she said,


    ¡°Daddy, I have an idea. Why not let Jiang Wenying marry Lu Fei? You said Lu Fei is your confidant, and with this opportunity, we can win his loyalty to the Mu family!¡±


    Although Mu Ruoxue appeared to be a bit reckless on a daily basis, she had learned a lot from growing up in the Mu family.


    If she were to speak her true thoughts out loud, her father would not agree and might even scold her.


    Until now, she couldn¡¯t forget about that stinky boy Lin Ran.


    But if she expressed her thoughts in a different way, her father would be more accepting.


    Mu Changye frowned slightly as he listened to his daughter¡¯s proposal, considering the pros and cons and feasibility of the matter.


    In families like theirs, many things were discussed in terms of benefits rather than emotions.


    Actually, when he learned about how Lu Fei handled Jiang Wenying¡¯s drugging incident, he remained calm and composed.


    He also sensed a faint aura from Lu Fei that was different from ordinary people.


    At that time, he had the idea of recruiting Lu Fei.


    However, winning hearts and minds was not as simple as just offering rewards. If one couldn¡¯t grasp the right balance, even the most obedient dog could become a backstabber.


    It was the most basic principle that one reaps what one sows.


    He understood this principle very well.


    Therefore, he only gave verbal praise to Lu Fei, and a monthly salary of one million yuan.


    Benefits had to be given gradually in order to win over people¡¯s hearts.


    In fact, what Ruoxue proposed, for Jiang family to consider Jiang Wenying as a bargaining chip and marry her off to Lu Fei.


    It was nothing compared to the huge benefits that would come from the cooperation between the Mu and Jiang families.


    Mu Changye had also heard of Jiang Wenying, although she was known as the talented daughter of the Jiang family, she was still just a second daughter. As long as he spoke up, he was sure that the Jiang family would be happy to send Jiang Wenying to their door.


    It was just a matter of transferring benefits.


    But what made Mu Changye hesitate was whether Lu Fei was really worth it, whether he was valuable enough for him to make that request.


    He still had doubts about this.


    In Mu Changye¡¯s eyes, Lu Fei was at most a useful talent, someone who could be relied on.


    And in the short term, Lu Fei may not necessarily be completely loyal to the Mu family.


    Mu Changye fell silent.


    Seeing Mu Changye furrow his brows and remain silent, Mu Ruoxue became anxious.


    If her father did not agree, her plan to make Lin Ran give up and make Jiang Wenying suffer would be useless.


    Therefore, Mu Ruoxue used her trump card.


    Shaking her father¡¯s arm and coquettishly pleading,


    ¡°Daddy, I¡¯ve been begging you. Please say yes.¡±


    Hearing Mu Ruoxue¡¯s coquettish voice, Mu Changye massaged his temples in frustration.


    He couldn¡¯t resist his daughter¡¯s charms.


    Mu Changye¡¯s face revealed a tender smile as he said,


    ¡°Okay, okay, let me think about it. I¡¯ll give you an answer in a couple of days.¡±


    Upon hearing her father¡¯s response, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s face lit up with a joyful smile as she exclaimed,


    ¡°Great! I love you, Daddy! I really do!¡±

 CH 12

    Chapter 12: Oh Crap! Am I Going to Become a Useless Son-in-Law in this Story?


    Outside the door,


    Lu Fei, who was bored and waiting, suddenly looked stunned.


    A familiar system prompt sounded in his mind,


    [Congratulations, you have changed the plot, and you have been awarded 1000 Destiny Points.]


    [Your Destiny Points have exceeded 1000, reaching the minimum requirement for the lucky draw roulette!]


    Lu Fei¡¯s face was full of confusion.


    Fuck!


    What did I do?


    I¡¯m just standing outside the door, and my Destiny Points are going through the roof!


    Suddenly the plot changed?


    Suddenly, Lu Fei turned his gaze toward the study, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.


    Could it be that Mu Changye really listened to his daughter and wants to marry the female lead, Jiang Wenying, to him?


    No, please don¡¯t do that!


    If that¡¯s the case, won¡¯t that Lin Ran have his eye on me!


    As the protagonist blessed by luck, if he gets targeted by him, wouldn¡¯t he have a hard time?!


    Although he has the system and is not very afraid, it would still be troublesome!!


    He is not a villain, just a follower.


    Hiding behind the villain, acting all tough and carefree, isn¡¯t that great?!


    If it¡¯s not too far-fetched, he suspects that in the future, he may even choke on drinking cold water.


    As a chilly voice sounded, a virtual screen appeared on the page.


    Lu Fei shifted his mind and opened the page.


    Suddenly, a golden, ridiculously large circle appeared before Lu Fei¡¯s eyes, revealing its extravagant and inhumane nature.


    According to the prompt, the minimum requirement for one spin of the roulette is 100 destiny points, and every tenfold increase greatly increases the chance of drawing a high-quality item.


    Lu Fei looked at his destiny points in his hand, 1100.


    Well!


    Very good,


    Lu Fei chose to draw ten consecutive lucky draws, leaving the remaining 100 destiny points for later.


    Lu Fei has always believed in the concept of ten consecutive lucky draws. There is nothing that can¡¯t be drawn out in ten draws. If it can¡¯t be drawn out, that¡¯s just not enough, so draw again.


    Lu Fei rubbed his hands and blew into his palm in a very superstitious manner.


    Completely calming down the excitement in his heart, he said,


    ¡°System, ten draws!¡±


    [Ding!]


    [The roulette is open, ready for ten draws!]


    [Congratulations, you have drawn a super-thin breathable protective cover!]


    [Congratulations, you have drawn a lubricant!]


    Lu Fei was speechless. Everything that was drawn was so inappropriate, why couldn¡¯t he draw something serious?


    [Congratulations, you have drawn a nurse¡¯s full outfit!]


    [Congratulations, you have drawn a pair of bunny girl ears!]


    ¡­


    A series of nonsensical items were continuously drawn, and as time passed, the expression on Lu Fei¡¯s face became increasingly dark.


    In his heart, he couldn¡¯t help but think.


    Am I destined to be an African athlete in this life?


    Why is my face so dark?


    Thinking this, Lu Fei couldn¡¯t help but touch his body, wanting to find a mirror to check. He always felt that his skin was quite fair, so how could he become so dark?


    [Congratulations, ¡­]


    [Congratulations¡­]


    [Congr¡­, you have won¡­]


    Until the last draw of the ten draws, suddenly, Lu Fei felt a golden light flash by.


    It almost blinded his eyes.


    ¡°No way, did I get a gold item?¡±


    Lu Fei quickly checked the prize he had won.


    His gaze fell on the last slot, a gold-framed item appeared in front of him.


    [Villain Halo, Quality: Unique!]


    [Effect: Immune to the influence of the protagonist halo, naturally perceives the target¡¯s favorability.]


    [Note: This item is unique and cannot be removed once worn!]


    Upon seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Lu Fei¡¯s lips.


    Hahaha!


    What¡¯s there to hesitate about? Of course, he will choose to wear it!


    With the Villain¡¯s halo, would he still be afraid of the Protagonist?


    In terms of martial arts, he was not weaker than Lin Ran at all, and even as the plot progresses, he will only become stronger!


    In terms of intelligence, Lu Fei is familiar with the plot development, and he even knows when Lin Ran will go to the bathroom in the villa. With the help of this level of foresight, how could he lose?


    In terms of background, although Lu Fei is currently only a small follower, he has the support of the Mu family and is not afraid of the family behind Lin Ran at all.


    In terms of opportunities, let¡¯s not even mention that Lu Fei already knows where the opportunities that Lin Ran may get are. Even if Lu Fei does nothing, he has the system with him. Would he still be afraid?


    And now, the Protagonist¡¯s Aura which he feared the most is useless to him. Lu Fei can be said to be comparable to or even crushing Lin Ran in all aspects, and he naturally has more confidence in himself.


    Just as Lu Fei was grinning foolishly, the study door suddenly opened.


    When Mu Ruoxue came out, she saw Lu Fei¡¯s silly smile and bounced over to his side,


    ¡°Haha, Lu Fei, I knew you must be secretly happy. Daddy has agreed, so just wait to marry your beautiful woman!¡±


    ¡°Remember to teach that bad woman Jiang Wenying a lesson when you marry her. Every time you see her, you hate her cold expression, like an iceberg.¡±


    As she spoke, Mu Ruoxue even leaned over to Lu Fei¡¯s ear, giving him ideas.


    And Lu Fei was just speechless.


    Oh!


    The case is solved.


    It turns out that this was Mu Ruoxue¡¯s cunning plan. Speaking of which, is Mu Changye also confused? He does whatever his daughter tells him to do.


    If it weren¡¯t for his luck, the blessing of the God of Fortune, and drawing the villain halo, he would have been roasted on a stake.


    There¡¯s nothing scarier than being targeted by the protagonist.


    Generally, if it doesn¡¯t end up with a destroyed family or a tragic death, it¡¯s considered a good ending.


    Now it¡¯s different. If he agrees to marry the female lead¡­


    Lu Fei¡¯s mind went blank and a strange thought crossed his mind.


    He¡¯s just a follower, if he marries the female lead, will he become a ¡°son-in-law¡± who joins the family rather than bringing in a bride?


    Is this villainous follower going to turn into a protagonist¡¯s stay-in son-in-law?


    When he thought of the son-in-law protagonist¡¯s humiliating experiences at the beginning of every stay in son-in-law protagonist novels, Lu Fei shuddered. It¡¯s impossible. He¡¯ll never kneel down and wash a woman¡¯s feet in his entire life!

 CH 13

    13. ¡°If you have money don¡¯t waste it for nothing!¡±


    Before long, the sky gradually turned dark.


    One of the two bodyguards standing next to Mu Changye walked out and whispered to Lu Fei,


    ¡°The master wants to see you!¡±


    Lu Fei nodded and pushed open the door, walking inside.


    The bodyguard followed closely behind him. He walked up to Mu Changye, who was sitting in a chair.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, you should go back now.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ by the way, you don¡¯t seem to have a car yet. I¡¯ll have Uncle Fu give you a car, so you can drive it for now!¡±


    After speaking, Mu Changye waved his hand, indicating that Lu Fei could leave.


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t stay long, nodded, and left.


    Before he could reach the door, an old man with silver hair, dressed in a butler¡¯s uniform, ran towards him.


    In fact, when Uncle Fu received the message from the master earlier, he was shocked.


    The master actually wanted to give the Bentley that he usually drove to a young man to drive.


    Although this Bentley was not as luxurious as a luxury sports car, it was one of the more cherished vehicles in the master¡¯s collection.


    It was usually only driven occasionally for work and was kept in the garage for maintenance.


    But today, the master had ordered him to personally hand over the car keys to a young man.


    How could he not be shocked by this?


    Hastily catching up to Lu Fei, Uncle Fu respectfully said,


    ¡°Hello, Mr. Lu, the master has ordered me to give you the car keys. You can pick up the car from the garage later.¡±


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Lu Fei took the keys and nodded casually, without the arrogance and ignorance that most newly rich people would have.


    ¡°Mr. Lu, although this car may not be as expensive as some of the so-called luxury sports cars, it represents the face of the Mu family in Shanghai. It seems that the master values you very much!¡±


    Seeing that Lu Fei¡¯s face still showed no signs of arrogance or ignorance, Uncle Fu nodded deeply in agreement.


    Uncle Fu silently sighed in his heart.


    It was no wonder that the master valued Lu Fei so much. With his demeanor and character, he was not someone that ordinary people could compare to.


    If Lu Fei had received a luxury car worth over five million yuan and knew that he had gained the master¡¯s favor, he would have immediately revealed his true colors.


    If Lu Fei had shown an arrogant attitude, he would have looked down on Lu Fei.


    However, Lu Fei just smiled and didn¡¯t say anything in response to Uncle Fu¡¯s words.


    Led by someone, Lu Fei arrived at the garage and drove the Bentley out. Unlike most young masters who would go to bars to pick up girls with their luxury cars.


    This kind of low-level entertainment was not something that Lu Fei was interested in. In his eyes, it was not worth his time.


    He drove the car directly back to the house according to his memories.


    It was an old building in Shanghai, and most of the people living nearby were migrant workers.


    Therefore, in terms of environment, it was not comparable to the living conditions of Shanghai¡¯s Crystal Palace.


    After opening the door and entering the room, Lu Fei found that the small room of about seventy to eighty square meters was slightly messy.


    However, he didn¡¯t think too much about it. After all, before he crossed over, he was just a follower. Although he didn¡¯t live in a poor place, he wasn¡¯t particularly wealthy either.


    Suddenly, Lu Fei remembered the bank card that Mu Changye had given him, which had one million yuan in it, waiting for him to spend.


    With so much money, why was he still living in this run-down place?


    Wasn¡¯t the money meant to be enjoyed?


    Why save it for retirement?


    Lu Fei¡¯s mind suddenly turned a corner, and he almost thought of himself as a poor worker before he crossed over.


    Calculating the time, it was around seven in the evening, and he still had time to find another place to live.


    Without further delay, Lu Fei packed up his belongings and left the remaining half-month rent behind.


    He left in the Bentley, leaving behind the envious eyes of many workers.


    He arrived at a high-end residential reception desk.


    The person who received Lu Fei was a young woman dressed in professional attire and flesh-colored stockings.


    The reason why it was apparent that she was a young woman was due to Lu Fei¡¯s ability before he crossed over.


    Generally, young beautiful women seldom choose flesh-colored stockings and black leather high heels. Their choices are usually brightly colored combinations.


    ¡°Hello. I am at your service, how may I assist you?!¡±


    Lu Fei gave her an eighty-two out of a hundred for her appearance, with a feeling of lingering charm that added a lot of points to the receptionist.


    However, Lu Fei didn¡¯t have any extra thoughts. The reason why he looked at her was just to enjoy the view.


    Lu Fei¡¯s bold gaze made her feel a burst of heat in her heart. She had just seen that this young man in his early twenties, who looked handsome, was driving a Bentley worth millions.


    If this young man was willing, she wouldn¡¯t mind¡­


    However, falling flowers have intentions, but flowing water is merciless. [1]


    Lu Fei stood up directly and said,


    ¡°Do you have any rooms available for immediate check-in? I plan to rent it for a while!¡±


    It¡¯s not that Lu Fei didn¡¯t want to show off, but he simply didn¡¯t have that much money, let alone buy a good environment villa that he couldn¡¯t afford with just a few million in his bank account.


    In comparison, renting was something he could afford.


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, the receptionist¡¯s fiery gaze did not diminish in the slightest.


    In this day and age, those who live in high-end residences are not simple people.


    Moreover, in terms of rent, any high-end residence costs at least two to three hundred thousand per month, which is not something that ordinary people can afford or willing to pay.


    The rent for one month is almost equivalent to her annual salary.

 CH 14

    14: It¡¯s not a good idea to use a test to evaluate an old cadre, right?


    Early in the morning, at 7:30.


    Lu Fei woke up in a luxuriously decorated room.


    This was the top-notch residence he rented for 300,000 yuan a month.


    Until now, he still hadn¡¯t forgotten the resentful look in the eyes of the woman with lingering charm last night when he swiped his card and left.


    When he left, Lu Fei was still cursing in secret.


    There are always people coveting his handsome face.


    After washing up, the image of the charming young woman from last night kept appearing in Lu Fei¡¯s mind.


    Feeling that his thing was indeed a bit vigorous, he went downstairs to run and relieve some of his energy.


    It has to be said that the system is powerful. In the past, the state of his body was clear and obvious.


    After running five kilometers in a row, he only breathed slightly and sweated a little. If it were in the past, he would have been exhausted after running just a few steps on the road.


    After taking a shower, Lu Fei received a call from the butler.


    Asking him to come to the villa as the master had something to discuss with him.


    Without much thought, Lu Fei got into his Bentley and headed towards the direction of the Crystal Palace on the west bank of Shanghai.


    Soon,


    He arrived outside the villa gate.


    Suddenly, he noticed a red Ferrari parked behind him, which had just stopped.


    It seemed that the purpose of the Ferrari was the same as his, to visit the Mu family.


    The door of the Ferrari opened.


    A pair of slender legs as white as jade stepped out of the car, wearing black ribbon high heels.


    The woman, wearing a red long dress and with wavy red hair, walked out of the car.


    At first glance, she looked about twenty-five years old.


    After getting out of the car, the woman lazily yawned and twisted her willowy waist like a water snake alluringly.


    Instantly, the sight of the woman caused the patrolling bodyguards at the Mu family¡¯s gate to forcibly avert their gaze, but their peripheral vision unconsciously glanced in her direction.


    At this moment, countless men who saw her cursed inwardly.


    What a seductive little demon.


    The woman looked towards the location of the Bentley. When she arrived here, she knew that the Bentley seemed to be Mu Changye¡¯s collection.


    But she didn¡¯t know why a young man was sitting on it.


    He didn¡¯t look like a driver either.


    When Lu Fei got out of the car, the woman¡¯s eyes were slightly surprised.


    She couldn¡¯t see Lu Fei¡¯s appearance clearly through the glass when he was in the car earlier.


    Now that Lu Fei got out of the car, she could see his face clearly.


    This man is quite handsome, with a hint of masculinity in his delicate features. The indifferent expression on his face seems to exude an indescribable temperament.


    Lu Fei also had some thoughts when he saw the beautiful woman staring at him intently.


    ¡°Red dress, red hair, willowy waist, isn¡¯t this Mu Changye¡¯s favorite lover, Liu Mengxiang?¡±


    She was also the only woman who could appear in the Mu family villa.


    Mu Ruoxue is Mu Changye¡¯s only daughter. Her mother died early, and Mu Changye felt guilty about it.


    So when Mu Ruoxue disagreed with Mu Changye remarrying, he promised her without hesitation.


    But how could a man not control his own desires?


    Once again, Mu Changye brought a lover home, but only ten-year-old Mu Ruoxue tortured her to madness while Mu Changye was out.


    After learning about it, Mu Changye just sighed and didn¡¯t blame Mu Ruoxue.


    In the novel¡¯s plot, although Liu Mengxiang appeared only a few times, she left a deep impression on Lu Fei.


    Demon!


    What a seductive little demon!


    Lu Fei knew that this woman was not simple. She could compete with Mu Ruoxue¡¯s scheming and even appear in the Mu family villa. No matter how you look at it, she was very capable.


    Lu Fei even felt that Mu Ruoxue learned most of her scheming from her. But in Lu Fei¡¯s opinion, this was just Mu Ruoxue¡¯s nature!


    This kind of thing cannot be learned, you must have talent.


    Otherwise, it would not be possible to catch Mu Changye, known as the ¡°Emperor of the capital¡¯s underworld.¡±


    Liu Mengxiang gave Lu Fei a charming glance, licked her lips with her agile tongue, smiled at Lu Fei, and then twisted her little waist and went inside.


    Lu Fei glanced at his mouth,


    Damn, she¡¯s so seductive!


    Mu Changye really knows how to play. With just that kind of body, it¡¯s really hard to resist.


    He took a deep breath, dispelling the heat in his heart, and walked into the villa.


    At this time, Liu Mengxiang, who was the first to enter the villa, had disappeared.


    And Mu Changye, who had something to do with him, was no longer in the living room.


    Only Mu Ruoxue, who was sleepy and looked like a little cat, was curled up in the corner of the sofa, muttering something in her mouth.


    ¡°Lu Fei, why are you here?¡±


    ¡°Really annoying, calling me up so early and even bringing that bad woman over!! Geez!! My good mood in the morning is all ruined!! ©Ñ©Ò©n©Ñ©Ò¡±


    Mu Ruoxue, who had just woken up, had an unpleasant morning and was grumbling full of grievances.


    And at this moment, Mu Ruoxue was supposed to be at home, wearing a pink silk pajama that was loose and casual.


    The two most important buttons at the neckline were also loosened, probably because she didn¡¯t sleep well last night and struggled to get out of them.


    Especially with the current posture of the two.


    Lu Fei was standing, and Mu Ruoxue was squatting on the sofa.


    One high and one low.


    Lu Fei suddenly realized something!!


    This little girl was not wearing any defensive equipment and revealed a large area of white snow!!


    My goodness!


    She really treats me as her own person!


    But I can¡¯t help but look!!!

 CH 15

    Chapter 15: oh my god! None of the women in this family are normal!¡±


    However, Mu Ruoxue was completely unaware that there was any problem with their position.


    She continued to mutter to herself,


    ¡°I hate that bad woman just like I hate Jiang Wenying.¡±


    ¡°My father even put me in confinement for a day because of that bad woman.¡±


    ¡­


    Mu Ruoxue¡¯s words went in one ear and out the other for Lu Fei, who was absentmindedly responding with a vague agreement.


    ¡°Uh-huh¡­ yeah¡­ you¡¯re right¡­¡±


    Suddenly, just as Lu Fei was lost in the appreciation of beautiful things and unable to extricate himself, the sound of opening the door came from behind him.


    It immediately brought him back to reality.


    ¡°Lu Fei, you¡¯re here. Come over here, I need to talk to you about something!¡±


    Mu Changye¡¯s voice came from the closed study door.


    At this moment, Lu Fei¡¯s face returned to its usual calm expression. He nodded expressionlessly and walked towards the study.


    As he entered the study, Lu Fei saw Liu Mengxiang standing behind Mu Changye with a bewildered look, her jade-like hand lightly stroking Mu Changye¡¯s shoulder.


    Lu Fei calmly walked up to Mu Changye¡¯s desk and stopped.


    ¡°Have a seat!¡±


    Mu Changye pointed to the chair in front of the desk, gesturing for Lu Fei to sit.


    Without any hesitation, Lu Fei sat down casually, showing no signs of subservience.


    Standing behind Mu Changye, Liu Mengxiang saw that Lu Fei, a man who should have been so nervous that he would be shaking his leg three times when facing the devilish Mu Changye, was sitting calmly in front of him. Instead of showing any signs of submission, he remained composed. Just this kind of temperament was enough to make Liu Mengxiang take a second look.


    Having been by Mu Changye¡¯s side for so long, she had seen all kinds of people.


    Gang bosses, business tycoons, entertainers, and important figures from various clans. When facing Mu Changye, they all showed varying degrees of fear and caution.


    Afraid of doing something wrong and angering him.


    However, this young man was so casual when facing Mu Changye, indicating that his identity was not simple. At the very least, he was one of Mu Changye¡¯s trusted confidants.


    And a highly valued one at that!


    This is interesting!!


    Seeing Lu Fei sit down, Mu Changye said little and went straight to the point,


    ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, my Mu family has investments in various industries throughout the city of Shanghai.¡±


    ¡°However, the market share in Shanghai is limited, and my Mu family already occupies about 70-80% of it. Naturally, other hungry wolves who can¡¯t get enough will try to snatch food from my Mu family.¡±


    ¡°I happen to have some business to attend to in the next couple of days and will be out of town for two days.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about it, and I want you to go to my Mu family¡¯s underground casino and shake things up a bit. What do you think?¡±


    As Mu Changye finished speaking, he stopped talking and picked up the teacup on his desk, taking a sip as if waiting for Lu Fei¡¯s response.


    Liu Mengxiang, who was standing behind him, clearly showed a stunned expression upon hearing Mu Changye¡¯s words.


    As Mu Changye¡¯s legitimate lover, Liu Mengxiang was not a fool. On the contrary, her intelligence lay in understanding what men were saying.


    So what did Mu Changye mean by his words?


    It was obvious that he wanted to test this handsome young man in front of him. If he passed, he would undoubtedly be a key figure to be cultivated.


    The most crucial thing was that Lu Fei, who heard these words, did not show any unusual expression on his face.


    Suddenly, Liu Mengxiang became more interested in this man sitting calmly in front of Mu Changye.


    She raised her eyebrows and threw a wink at Lu Fei.


    Lu Fei, who was sitting in front of Mu Changye, naturally saw Liu Mengxiang¡¯s little movement toward him.


    He felt something was not right.


    What does this mean?


    Mu Changye is right here, and you¡¯re touching his shoulder while coming on to me?


    Are you here to test an old veteran again?


    Isn¡¯t it enough for your daughter to test me? Do you have to send your wife as well?


    Luckily, I have a strong character. If it were an ordinary person, they would have shown some unusual expression after Liu Mengxiang threw a flirtatious look at them.


    Lu Fei remained calm and ignored Liu Mengxiang¡¯s move.


    Seeing Lu Fei¡¯s lack of reaction, Liu Mengxiang became even more interested in him.


    Then, she slightly opened her red lips, revealing her white teeth as she bit her lip and glanced at Lu Fei again.


    Lu Fei only gave a brief glance and remained expressionless, as if he was thinking deeply.


    Not bad!


    He can handle it!


    Seeing this, Liu Mengxiang frowned slightly, as if she was unwilling to admit defeat. For the first time, she wondered if her charm had disappeared.


    Suddenly, she thought of something and lifted her other hand, placing it gently on her pure and natural collarbone.


    And then gradually moved towards¡­ towards¡­ towards the shoulder.


    All under Lu Fei¡¯s unconcerned gaze.


    Swish!!!


    Liu Mengxiang suddenly pulled down the strap hanging on her shoulder,


    causing¡­


    (¡¤) (¡¤)


    Lu Fei, who caught a glimpse of it, was stunned.


    He was caught off guard, and it took him a moment to react.


    His whole body shuddered.


    Damn it!


    Her shoulders are so slippery!


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Mu Changye frowned when he saw Lu Fei¡¯s strange behavior and instinctively looked behind him.


    Meanwhile, Liu Mengxiang had already adjusted her clothes and covered her mouth with one hand, yawning.


    In the instant that Mu Changye turned his head, Lu Fei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before saying,


    ¡°Nothing, I just feel a little anxious about the important task entrusted to me by the family head. If the family head trusts me, I am willing to share the burden with the family head!¡±

 CH 16

    Chapter 16: The Test of the Main Villain!


    When Mu Changye¡¯s head turned back again, Liu Mengxiang¡¯s exhausted eyes became spirited.


    She smiled victoriously and provocatively looked at Lu Fei.


    Liu Mengxiang was very satisfied in her heart.


    She thought that Lu Fei was really not interested in her, but it turned out that all men are like this, hypocritical and false gentlemen.


    When Lu Fei saw Liu Mengxiang¡¯s smile, although he restored his indifferent and casual expression on the surface, he kept cursing Liu Mengxiang in his heart as a slutty fox!


    The Mu family is indeed the biggest antagonist family in this book, and all the women in the family are crazy and want to die!


    Your lover is right in front of you, and you still show off your body to me! Ridiculous!


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Mu Changye¡¯s slightly wrinkled brow relaxed.


    He smiled satisfactorily and said,


    ¡°Hahaha, very good. In that case, I¡¯ll leave that piece of land to you to guard for two days!¡±


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t really listen to Mu Changye¡¯s words.


    Suddenly, he remembered the scenario about Mu¡¯s underground casino.


    In the novel, there seemed to be a scene where someone suddenly caused a commotion in the underground casino, and Mu Changye had long been prepared and ambushed many people.


    When Lin Ran saw so many people besieging those who caused trouble in the casino, he didn¡¯t care about anything.


    Lin Ran showed off his skills and recruited a loyal little brother.


    The most important thing was that this little brother recruited by Lin Ran played a significant role in the Mu family¡¯s downfall.


    It can be said that this little brother who appeared in the underground casino and was recruited by Lin Ran was the subordinate who helped Lin Ran the most in the later stage. He was straightforward and had strong skills.


    He helped Lin Ran deal with many unspeakable private matters.


    Lu Fei suddenly understood that the so-called going to the underground casino to settle the matter was just a test for himself.


    Mu Changye actually knew in advance that someone would come to the underground casino to cause trouble, and even have people in ambush to deal with these things.


    If it weren¡¯t for Lin Ran¡¯s appearance in the end, this matter might not have been a big deal at all.


    Immediately, Lu Fei stood up and looked at Mu Changye, promising,


    ¡°Since the family head trusts me, I will not let the family head down!¡±


    Mu Changye saw that Lu Fei made a promise and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said,


    ¡°You can go now. I still have something to do. Someone will take you to the casino and guide you over.¡±


    Mu Changye waved his hand, indicating that Lu Fei should leave first.


    Lu Fei nodded and didn¡¯t say anything, preparing to leave.


    As Lu Fei was about to turn around and leave, Liu Mengxiang didn¡¯t forget to throw a flirtatious glance at him, pouting her red lips slightly, as if sending a flying kiss to Lu Fei across the air.


    Regarding this, Lu Fei chose to ignore it.


    Is that it?


    Does she still want to embarrass him?


    He walked out of the study. Mu Ruoxue, who was wearing pajamas and lying on the sofa and muttering before, was no longer in the living room.


    Outside the door, a slender man was already waiting.


    In fact, few people knew that he was also one of Mu Changye¡¯s secretly cultivated confidants.


    Lu Fei walked out of the door and came to the Bentley, throwing the keys in his hand.


    ¡°You can drive, right!¡±


    The man who subconsciously took the keys had a momentary hesitation in his expression, and couldn¡¯t help feeling a little dissatisfied with Lu Fei in his heart.


    Wasn¡¯t it just getting the family head¡¯s favor just now? Why was he so arrogant? If he didn¡¯t dare to reveal his identity, he really wanted to teach Lu Fei a lesson on how to behave.


    But the slender man still opened the car door, sat in the driver¡¯s seat, and became Lu Fei¡¯s driver.


    ¡­


    On the other side,


    In the study of the Mu family villa.


    Mu Changye looked at Lu Fei¡¯s calm and composed performance, feeling very satisfied in his heart.


    He even saw his own shadow in Lu Fei and paid more attention to him in his heart.


    Such a person, once under his control, the role he could play was unimaginable.


    Then, Mu Changye raised his hand and looked at Liu Mengxiang with a smile, asking,


    ¡°What do you think of Lu Fei?¡±


    At the moment when Mu Changye¡¯s voice sounded, Liu Mengxiang was still immersed in the interesting look of Lu Fei being embarrassed.


    She even felt that Lu Fei¡¯s sudden fright by her actions was too cute.


    Especially doing such things behind Mu Changye¡¯s back, it was really exciting.


    ¡°Mengxiang?¡±


    Without waiting for a response, Mu Changye was a little puzzled and called out again.


    Hearing Mu Changye¡¯s words, Liu Mengxiang was stunned for a moment, and then responded, saying,


    ¡°He¡¯s very interesting!¡±


    As she spoke, Mu Changye did not see the strange light flickering in her eyes.


    It was unknown how many meanings Liu Mengxiang¡¯s ¡°very interesting¡± actually had.


    Liu Mengxiang asked curiously,


    ¡°Are you planning to cultivate him as a confidant?¡±


    Mu Changye casually responded,


    ¡°Yes, I have a good eye for people. Lu Fei is smart and can stay calm in times of crisis. I want to try to cultivate him.¡±


    ¡°But the specifics still need to be developed. I don¡¯t know if he is truly talented or mediocre.¡±


    ¡°As you know, although my Mu family is outstanding in Shanghai, a single tree cannot make a forest. There are still areas that I cannot take care of.¡±


    ¡°As for Ruoxue, she is lively and na?ve and can be easily deceived. If there is no one to look after her, I am not at ease.¡±


    ¡­


    After Mu Changye finished speaking, he sighed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s see if Lu Fei can handle this responsibility!¡±


    Mu Changye¡¯s eyes were deep, and his tone was a bit strange.

 CH 17

    17. Behind the scenes of the trial!


    Mu Changye took out a remote control from the drawer of his desk.


    Pressed a button lightly.


    A huge screen appeared on the wall directly opposite the desk.


    As the signal was transmitted, there was no image on the screen, but a sound wave appeared.


    Then the voice gradually became audible.


    ¡°You must be Lu Fei, and I¡¯m Ah Hao, who has been living in the Mu family for eight years!¡±


    Ah Hao drove and talked to Lu Fei intentionally or unintentionally.


    ¡°Yeah!¡±


    Lu Fei responded, but he didn¡¯t have the intention to continue the conversation.


    Ah Hao seemed to have not heard Lu Fei¡¯s perfunctory response and continued to speak,


    ¡°Lu Fei, you are now the big shot in front of the family head. The family head even let you drive this car!¡±


    ¡°Even the study that few people have ever entered, the family head allowed you to enter!¡±


    Ah Hao¡¯s words and tone both revealed envy.


    ¡°By the way, do you know that for so many years, it seems that the family head has not been very satisfied with the little wife he found!¡±


    ¡°I heard before¡­¡±


    Before Ah Hao could finish speaking, Lu Fei gave him a cold glance.


    Lu Fei knew exactly what Mu Changye meant by sending Ah Hao to follow him.


    As someone who had read the original work thoroughly, Lu Fei was familiar with Mu Changye¡¯s way of doing things.


    Mu Changye¡¯s most terrifying aspect was not his intelligence or his ruthless methods, but his control over people¡¯s hearts.


    Lu Fei was sure that this person named Ah Hao probably didn¡¯t know anything and happened to have a loose tongue.


    He might be a confidant who made big or small mistakes constantly, and Mu Changye probably wanted to take this opportunity to deal with him.


    Otherwise, which confidant would dare to discuss the family affairs of the family head under Mu Changye¡¯s surveillance?


    Isn¡¯t that like looking for trouble?


    Without guessing, Lu Fei knew that although their every move was not under Mu Changye¡¯s watchful eyes.


    However, the words they spoke were definitely being listened to by Mu Changye.


    When he received the car yesterday, Lu Fei had already checked every inch of the Bentley inside and out. He was not used to being under someone else¡¯s surveillance.


    At most, he had secretly placed a bug on Ah Hao without his knowledge.


    Lu Fei gave a cold snort and said in a flat tone,


    ¡°You take money to do a job, and as a confidant, you should have the awareness of being a confidant. Gossiping behind someone¡¯s back is not a good habit.¡±


    ¡°Behind my back, do whatever you want. But if you continue to gossip in front of me, I¡¯ll throw you out of the car!¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try it!¡±


    At the end of his words, Lu Fei seemed to remember something and gave Ah Hao a deep and meaningful look.


    After that, Lu Fei didn¡¯t care whether Ah Hao had any objections and leaned back against the seat, closing his eyes to rest.


    In the study,


    ¡°Daddy, where are you sending Lu Fei? And why are you secretly eavesdropping on people¡¯s conversations?¡±


    In the study, Mu Ruoxue held a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, and she could still hear Lu Fei¡¯s voice.


    But when she saw her father standing with the woman she hated the most, her face turned ugly.


    Her cherry lips pouted, and she could almost hang an oil bottle on them.


    Before Mu Changye could respond, he heard Lu Fei scolding Ah Hao through the bug.


    Especially the last sentence, which was serious and slightly uncompromising, made Mu Changye¡¯s eyes light up.


    ¡°This Lu Fei¡­¡±


    Mu Changye¡¯s lips curled up with a hint of amusement.


    He nodded in satisfaction, knowing that he had not misjudged the person.


    However, when he heard what Ah Hao said, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this guy who couldn¡¯t keep his mouth shut after the matter was over.


    As there are laws in the country, there are also rules in the family.


    No rules, no standards.


    It seems that he needs to rectify the internal situation and use him as an example to deter others!


    What Mu Changye didn¡¯t see was that Liu Mengxiang, who was standing behind him, felt a different kind of impulse when she heard Lu Fei¡¯s words.


    She seemed to sense a different temperament from Lu Fei than from Mu Changye.


    Dominance!


    Mu Changye gave her the feeling of a smiling tiger, hiding his true intentions.


    He could decide someone¡¯s life or death with a smile, and in the next second after anger passes, he could continue to smile.


    Mu Changye gave people more unknown fear, while Liu Mengxiang felt an uncompromising dominance from Lu Fei.


    When Mu Ruoxue heard what Lu Fei said, she was also stunned, and the white fungus and lotus seed soup in her hand no longer tasted good!


    It was also the first time she had felt this side of Lu Fei.


    On the other hand, Ah Hao, with an ugly face and unpredictable mood, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.


    Unable to figure out why, Ah Hao shook off the distractions in his mind and drove honestly.


    He had already made up his mind.


    Don¡¯t think that just because Lu Fei currently has the favor of the family head, he can ride on his neck and act recklessly, based on his eight years of service in the Mu family, he also needs to properly confront Lu Fei in front of the family head.


    Did he really think that with the family head¡¯s temporary favor, this guy could soar to the sky and ride wildly on his neck?


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t know and didn¡¯t care about Ah Hao¡¯s thoughts.


    Because he simply didn¡¯t care.


    A small lackey could cause him no trouble, just an ant that could be crushed at will.


    He is now constantly recalling the plot in his mind.


    What should he do to prevent Lin Ran from appearing in the underground casino?


    Or to take a step ahead and bring the little brother who originally belonged to Lin Ran into his own pocket.

 CH 18

    Chapter 18: Using Power to Establish Authority! The tea is still hot!


    In Shanghai,


    There was an ordinary-looking bar.


    Many luxury cars were parked outside the bar.


    As they walked into the bar.


    A person who looked like a waiter had been waiting at the door for a long time.


    When he saw the Bentley slowly approaching, the waiter¡¯s eyes lit up and he walked over.


    After Lu Fei and Ah Hao got out of the car, the waiter approached them.


    He bowed to Lu Fei and Ah Hao and respectfully said,


    ¡°Mr. Lu, please follow me this way.¡±


    Following the waiter, they entered the bar.


    The interior of the bar looks no different from any other bar.


    Perhaps realizing the doubt in Lu Fei¡¯s eyes, the waiter explained with insight,


    ¡°Mr. Lu, this bar is just a cover for the underground casino. The real underground casino is on the second floor!¡±


    The waiter led Lu Fei to an elevator entrance.


    There were four or five burly black-clad bodyguards standing there.


    The waiter walked over and said something, and the bodyguards nodded before letting them through.


    They entered the elevator and it slowly descended.


    Soon, the elevator doors opened.


    In front of Lu Fei was an environment that was completely different from the bar downstairs.


    The second floor was spacious, luxurious in decoration, and uniquely designed.


    Various gambling props were arranged in an orderly manner, and the chips were astonishingly large.


    Even where Lu Fei passed by, he could see a gambler who looked red-eyed, directly choosing to go all-in with a set of chips worth a villa, and winning back his investment in one go.


    This caused cheers and celebrations from the crowd.


    The excitement caused more people to choose to join the gambling.


    There were many successful people in suits and leather shoes, as well as some figures of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. All kinds of upper-class people could be seen here, constantly coming and going.


    There were also many hot bunny girls wearing revealing outfits, holding champagne and shuttling through the crowd.


    It looked very lively.


    After passing through the casino, the waiter led Lu Fei and the other person to a higher-level office.


    After the door closed, the cheers and noise were immediately isolated.


    The construction of the office was also uniquely designed.


    A large one-way glass was used as a wall directly.


    Standing here, one could overlook the entire casino.


    The person in charge of the casino was casually sitting behind the desk.


    There were also seven or eight henchmen standing around, not knowing whether they were waiting for Lu Fei to give him a warning.


    ¡°You are the person in charge of this casino, Feng Jun?¡±


    Seeing that Feng Jun didn¡¯t even stand up and was looking at him with disrespect.


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t indulge him and directly ignored the henchmen standing around Feng Jun.


    Lu Fei walked calmly to the chair in front of the desk and sat down, showing his arrogant and domineering attitude.


    Feng Jun felt a little dissatisfied, but considering that Lu Fei had the backing of the family head, he could only bear it and responded,


    ¡°Yes, what can I do for you, young man?¡±


    ¡°The family head said that he has something to do these two days and is afraid that you can¡¯t handle the casino, so he sent me to take over for two days.¡±


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.


    Upon hearing this, Feng Jun¡¯s face turned terrifyingly pale.


    What did this mean?


    He didn¡¯t even bother to pretend anymore.


    He was basically telling him directly that he couldn¡¯t handle it, so someone was sent from above.


    Feng Jun became even more dissatisfied and was ready to give Lu Fei a warning.


    Although he knew that Lu Fei was here on the orders of the family head, why did this little guy who he had never seen before act so arrogantly?


    And Ah Hao behind him naturally knew Feng Jun.


    Ah Hao naturally knew that Feng Jun was a rebellious and unruly guy who had offended many people in the Mu family, which was why Mu Changye had thrown him into the underground casino to oversee things.


    However, Ah Hao didn¡¯t show any signs of warning Lu Fei about Feng Jun¡¯s personality. His goal was to use Feng Jun to teach Lu Fei a lesson.


    He couldn¡¯t do it himself, but with Feng Jun¡¯s straightforward personality, even if Lu Fei is beaten up, the blame would fall on Feng Jun.


    And he could stay out of it.


    Moreover, Lu Fei himself was too arrogant. If he hadn¡¯t been, Feng Jun wouldn¡¯t have found the opportunity to strike.


    Feng Jun¡¯s disdainful expression became even more obvious, and he looked at Lu Fei with a hint of amusement, saying,


    ¡°Young man, it¡¯s good to have a straightforward personality, but if you don¡¯t know how to adapt, you¡¯ll be easily broken.¡±


    With this sentence, Feng Jun elevated his own status and looked at Lu Fei with the attitude of an elder teaching a younger generation.


    Upon hearing this, Lu Fei snorted coldly and his eyes flashed with sharpness.


    ¡°Smack!!!¡±


    To the shock of everyone present, Lu Fei swung his hand and slapped Feng Jun across the face.


    It¡¯s not a joke that Lu Fei¡¯s body has been modified by the system, and his physical fitness is ten times that of an ordinary person.


    Feng Jun was slapped so hard that he spun around in place, holding onto the table to avoid falling to the ground.


    Seeing this scene, Feng Jun¡¯s henchmen quickly reacted and were about to surround Lu Fei to teach him a lesson.


    ¡°Click¡­¡±


    Lu Fei took out a Bentley key from his pocket and slammed it on the table.


    ¡°What, do you want to rebel?¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t even the Mu family control you guys?¡±


    ¡°I just came from Mu Changye¡¯s villa, and I bet the tea I left behind is still hot.¡±


    ¡°Now that the family head is out dealing with things, you want to rebel?¡±


    Lu Fei asked three questions in a row, directly leaving the henchmen dumbfounded and unable to make a move.

 CH 19

    19. Resolving the Crisis!


    Lu Fei¡¯s voice echoed throughout the office, making everyone¡¯s ears tremble.


    Perhaps because of Lu Fei¡¯s confidence, the henchmen looked at each other and didn¡¯t even dare to think about attacking.


    They stood still, not moving at all.


    At the same time, the scene of Lu Fei intimidating everyone in the underground casino office was also seen by Mu Changye and his family in the west of the city.


    It wasn¡¯t until this moment that Mu Changye saw Lu Fei¡¯s figure on the screen in his study.


    Mu Changye nodded in satisfaction.


    He also heard what Lu Fei said, which was quite interesting.


    Talking about drinking tea and coming out of the villa, Lu Fei deliberately hinted at his identity in Mu Changye¡¯s heart, subtly increasing his status.


    Because ordinary people couldn¡¯t even enter the villa, let alone drink tea there.


    Only trusted confidants, and extremely important ones at that, could drink tea with him and take away the Bentley key that represented his identity in a certain sense.


    With this method of handling things, Lu Fei was ruthless but not reckless, and with just a few words, he was able to intimidate his notorious subordinates in the shortest possible time.


    It can be seen that Lu Fei is very clever and knows how to use his own influence.


    Meanwhile, Liu Mengxiang, who had not left, also saw Lu Fei¡¯s ruthless and decisive action through the screen.


    In Liu Mengxiang¡¯s eyes, Lu Fei¡¯s performance seemed to perfectly interpret her impression of a perfect man.


    No one saw the slight infatuation that flashed in Liu Mengxiang¡¯s eyes.


    Her eyes seemed to see through the screen and feel the emotions that she couldn¡¯t feel in Mu Changye¡¯s presence.


    ¡°Wow, when did Lu Fei become so powerful!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue looked at Lu Fei on the screen, her eyes shining with admiration.


    ¡°Dad, he¡¯s my follower, you can¡¯t steal him from me!¡±


    ¡°If anyone bullies me, I¡¯ll let Lu Fei beat them up!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue¡¯s little head seemed to have thought of something, and she couldn¡¯t stop laughing.


    The two double ponytails behind her head kept swaying¡­ swaying¡­


    ¡°Take a closer look, if possible, I¡¯ll just send him to protect you by your side!¡±


    ¡°I think this young man named Lu Fei has a quick mind. If you need help with anything in the future, don¡¯t rush into it, you can ask him.¡±


    Mu Changye¡¯s gaze kept shifting to Lu Fei. In fact, he was quite satisfied with what had been achieved so far.


    But there must be a beginning and an end to everything, so he continued to watch the scene.


    ¡­


    ¡°Hold¡­stop!¡±


    Feng Jun shook off the dizziness in his head.


    Anyone who could reach this level, even if they were a reckless person, was someone who could see the situation clearly.


    If Lu Fei had not revealed his identity before this, he could still pretend not to know or recognize him and give Lu Fei a good lesson.


    However, after Lu Fei revealed his identity, if he still dared to act, it would not be recklessness, but idiocy.


    And it would be the kind of idiot who sent himself to a dead end.


    Regardless of whether or not he had the intention to rebel as Lu Fei claimed, if he acted, he would be unable to defend himself.


    Therefore, before things became irreparable, Feng Jun forcibly regained a bit of clarity and stopped his subordinates from acting.


    All the subordinates also breathed a sigh of relief, as they were also in a dilemma before.


    Fortunately, Feng Jun spoke up and stopped them.


    ¡°You guys go out first!¡±


    Feng Jun asked all the subordinates to leave.


    When everyone had left, Feng Jun¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, but he forcibly suppressed his inner anger.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it was my negligence that I didn¡¯t recognize you.¡±


    Although Feng Jun chose to bow his head, the tightly clenched fist revealed that he was still dissatisfied deep down.


    But Lu Fei didn¡¯t mind. He didn¡¯t need everyone to be convinced of him, as long as they feared him or feared the Mu family behind him, it was enough.


    Seeing Feng Jun bowing his head, Lu Fei didn¡¯t deliberately make things difficult for him.


    He knew that even though Ah Hao had left, it didn¡¯t mean that there were no surveillance cameras or bugs in the office.


    Without a doubt, everything he did here, and every word he said, was clearly visible to Mu Changye.


    Lu Fei stood up, looked at Feng Jun, and put his hands in his pockets, saying lightly,


    ¡°Since we are all working under the same boss, I won¡¯t care about these things. I don¡¯t care if you curse me behind my back, as long as I don¡¯t know about it, you can do whatever you want.¡±


    ¡°But since you have taken the money, put in the effort. You still need to do your job well!¡±


    Lu Fei gave Feng Jun a way out.


    Feng Jun was a little surprised. He thought Lu Fei would embarrass him, but he just brushed it off like that.


    At this moment, Lu Fei¡¯s words also reached Mu Changye¡¯s ears.


    No one noticed, but Mu Changye¡¯s expression was one of satisfaction and approval.


    This was not something he would show in front of ordinary people.


    Listen!


    What he said was both gratifying and domineering.


    With such a talented person, how could he worry about his daughter being deceived?


    Mu Changye instinctively thought that he had finally found a satisfactory confidant for his daughter.

 CH 20

    Chapter 20: Taking over the casino!¡±


    Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction with Feng Jun¡¯s attitude.


    Similarly, he was also satisfied with his own performance just now.


    He estimated that the words he said had reached Mu Changye¡¯s ears.


    With his acting skills, Mu Changye should trust him even more now, right?


    Feng Jun took a deep breath and looked up at Lu Fei.


    Lu Fei gave him a way out, and Feng Jun was not someone who did not know how to appreciate it. He took advantage of the opportunity and asked for Lu Fei¡¯s opinion.


    Feng Jun said,


    ¡°Since the family head has ordered you to take over the casino for two days, shall I introduce you to the casino? What do you think?¡±


    Perhaps even Feng Jun himself did not realize that he was asking for Lu Fei¡¯s opinion.


    Lu Fei also took a second look at Feng Jun¡¯s change in attitude.


    Handling success well and letting go of what you can¡¯t control!!


    It seemed that Mu Changye¡¯s subordinates were all simple-minded.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Fei nodded, indicating his agreement.


    Soon, the subordinates waiting outside the door quietly gathered.


    They did not hear any sounds of smashing at the door.


    Suddenly, the office door opened.


    Lu Fei calmly walked out, followed by Feng Jun.


    Upon closer inspection, the position of the two as they walked was also extremely subtle. No matter how Lu Fei walked, Feng Jun always remained one step lower.


    Feng Jun¡¯s subordinates were shocked to see this scene.


    As a group of subordinates who had been with Feng Jun for a long time, they knew his temperament very well.


    Being arrogant and difficult was normal for him.


    It was precisely because of this that the family head had sent Feng Jun to guard the underground casino.


    Someone who wasn¡¯t ruthless simply couldn¡¯t handle it here!


    And at this moment, Feng Jun¡¯s actions surprised his subordinates.


    It seemed like except in front of the family head, Feng Jun had never shown any signs of bowing down in front of anyone else.


    It appeared that this person valued by the family head was indeed not simple.


    To be able to suppress Feng Jun, this local tyrant.


    Thinking of this, the subordinates¡¯ eyes toward Lu Fei suddenly became respectful.


    They unconsciously made way for Lu Fei.


    And at the very edge stood Ah Hao, who was also full of shock.


    A nagging doubt couldn¡¯t stop in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare show it.


    You are Feng Jun!


    One of the top troublemakers under the family head¡¯s command, how did you end up bowing to this kid?


    Also,


    The slap mark on your face hasn¡¯t even faded yet. Anyone who doesn¡¯t know would think nothing had happened before.


    Someone slapped you in the face, and you can still endure it?


    At this moment, Ah Hao¡¯s awe of Lu Fei in his heart increased even more.


    ¡°Please come this way!¡±


    As they walked out the door, Feng Jun didn¡¯t follow behind and instead led the way for Lu Fei.


    ¡°Our underground casino is the largest in Shanghai, without a doubt.¡±


    ¡°The daily turnover reaches several tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and sometimes we encounter rare high-stakes gambling.¡±


    ¡°Both sides gamble recklessly, wagering their entire wealth.¡±


    ¡°Of course, because our Mu family is the dealer, gamblers who bet recklessly like this usually lose more than they win. If they try to cheat after losing, we need to resolve the situation.¡±


    As they walked through the casino, Feng Jun introduced and showed Lu Fei around.


    ¡°Here is our most famous and popular game in Mu family¡¯s underground casino, Heaven¡¯s Gambit.¡±


    ¡°This game is based on the deadliest Russian roulette and is our signature game.¡±


    ¡°Based on the payout ratio, up to five bullets are placed in the gun, and then the principal is wagered with no upper limit.¡±


    ¡°As long as the trigger is pulled and the gun doesn¡¯t go off, the player receives five times the principal. Otherwise, if the gun goes off, all accumulated funds go to the casino and can be stopped at any time.¡±


    As Feng Jun spoke, Lu Fei was led to a table in front of an angel statue, where a revolver with six bullets was placed on top of a table covered with a red cloth.


    ¡°Why are there six bullets?¡±


    Explaining Lu Fei¡¯s question, Feng Jun smiled and said,


    ¡°Previously, someone was cheated by a business partner, originally a billionaire, but became bankrupt with only one million in assets. He came here, loaded six bullets, ready to gamble it all, and then commit suicide, but the gun jammed!¡±


    ¡°Afterwards, when the family head heard about it, he directly gave the billionaire ten billion in cash.¡±


    ¡°After that, this gameplay spread, loading all six bullets, placing one million bets, gambling for a chance to jam!¡±


    ¡°Of course, these are all blanks. As long as they comply with the rules, we will not allow any factors that threaten the customers to exist.¡±


    Feng Jun walked to the table, quickly loaded the bullets, and then shot himself in the chest.


    ¡°Bang!!!¡±


    Only a white mark appeared on Feng Jun¡¯s clothes on his chest.


    ¡°It¡¯s quite interesting. No wonder this gameplay has become a signature here.¡±


    Seeing this, Lu Fei felt that the underground casino had a variety of gameplay, especially this so-called heaven¡¯s gambit, which was inspired by Russian roulette.


    It was thrilling and exciting.


    Although it was not necessary to bet one¡¯s life like in Russian roulette, the chance to shoot with a minimum bet of one million was enough to drive gambling addicts crazy.

 CH 21

    21. Snatching the opportunity again!!


    After looking at the gameplay of Heaven¡¯s Gambit, Lu Fei nodded his head.


    He couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart that the Mu family was indeed covering the sky with one hand in Shanghai.


    Having so many fancy gambling methods in an underground casino.


    Suddenly, as Lu Fei turned around, he saw a man with a simple and honest temperament passing by in the crowd.


    ¡°Rogge?¡±


    Why did Lu Fei notice that man in the crowd at first glance?


    It was because there was a scar on his eyebrow that disrupted his honest temperament and added a hint of fierceness to him.


    Seeing Rogge¡¯s back, a piece of information about him in the original novel suddenly came to Lu Fei¡¯s mind.


    Rogge was a top foreign mercenary who retired due to accumulated hidden illnesses from years of missions.


    His most distinctive feature was that his back gave people a feeling of being simple and honest, but once you saw Rogge¡¯s face, you would find a scar on his eyebrow that gave people a feeling of being honest as well as fierce at the same time.


    At the same time, the system prompt of the villain¡¯s halo sounded in his mind.


    [Rogge, 10 favorability, may do something unfavorable to the host at any time.]


    The system¡¯s prompt sound gave Lu Fei more confidence.


    It¡¯s better to be early than late. If the plot develops as expected, Rogge may act in the next few days, and then the protagonist, who happens to be walking by, will solve the pursuers in a flashy manner and save him inexplicably.


    In the process, he will also save Rogge¡¯s sister who has a congenital eye disease, and thus gain a loyal follower.


    However, it¡¯s a pity¡­


    Being here, of course, Lu Fei wouldn¡¯t let such a thing happen.


    Feng Jun, who was introducing the casino earlier, suddenly saw Lu Fei standing still and staring in a certain direction in the crowd.


    In Feng Jun¡¯s line of sight, Lu Fei¡¯s eyes were fixed on a voluptuous bunny girl with revealing clothing.


    ¡°Mr. Lu, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just here to oversee the venue on behalf of the family head. It¡¯s enough to have a general understanding,¡± Lu Fei absent-mindedly responded to Feng Jun¡¯s voice.


    ¡°I¡¯m a bit tired. Find a place to rest. Notify me if anything happens.¡±


    Lu Fei still needed to carefully consider some of the content in the original story to avoid missing anything.


    The description of this underground casino in the original story was not very clear.


    For example, he had not heard from Mu Changye about how many people were in the ambush, but then also how did Rogge get injured and chased?


    Lu Fei had seen a few of Feng Jun¡¯s men, about seven or eight of them who looked like they had some experience, but it wasn¡¯t enough to deal with Rogge.


    Although Rogge had an illness and retired from the mercenary industry, he was not someone that seven or eight small fries could handle.


    This is a strange point.


    The only explanation for this mystery is that Mu Changye actually knew that someone was coming to disrupt the casino and had already arranged people in advance.


    Even without him, Mu Changye could easily solve this matter.


    But why didn¡¯t Mu Changye reveal it to him? What does this mean?


    This is a test for him.


    And Mu Changye isn¡¯t afraid of things going wrong with Lu Fei handling it.


    Because Mu Changye had already set up enough people in advance to handle these things.


    Thinking of this, Lu Fei¡¯s doubts were immediately resolved, and he realized.


    At this time, his every move was undoubtedly being monitored by Mu Changye. Otherwise, Mu Changye wouldn¡¯t have gone to such lengths to test him.


    The casino was large, and there were naturally places to stay.


    Lu Fei simply stayed at the casino.


    All in all, it was only two days, nothing too hypocritical.


    As night approached, there was a sudden knock on Lu Fei¡¯s door.


    One of Feng Jun¡¯s henchmen was standing at the door, looking respectful.


    Next to him stood a long-haired girl with a shy look, who looked like a student.


    Lu Fei felt something about this scene, but he pretended not to know anything on the surface.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Brother Lu, it¡¯s like this. This person is arranged by Brother Feng, and it¡¯s guaranteed to be clean!¡±


    As he spoke, the henchman¡¯s face showed a smile that all men understood.


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t actually object to this arrangement, after all, life is short, so enjoy it while you can.


    But when he saw this long-haired student girl, he realized he had been in contact with top-tier beauties like Jiang Wenying, Mu Ruoxue, and Liu Mengxiang for too long.


    Suddenly, Lu Fei found himself not interested in this innocent-looking girl who was at least an eight out of ten.


    Moreover¡­ it¡¯s possible that Mu Changye, the old cunning man, was watching him somewhere!


    He had no interest in doing this while being live-streamed for others to see.


    Therefore, Lu Fei furrowed his brows slightly and said,


    ¡°What do you take me for? Someone who is here to help the family head or someone who is here to enjoy themselves?¡±


    ¡°Forget it, take her away!¡±


    After speaking, Lu Fei relaxed his expression. After all, the young man was just someone who followed orders.


    Lu Fei wasn¡¯t the protagonist who is obsessed with pretending and would go all out to show off every time he caught someone.


    When the young man heard Lu Fei express his dissatisfaction, he became nervous.


    But when Lu Fei relaxed and let him go, the young man was filled with gratitude toward him.

 CH 22

    22. Reward Poison Medical Skills!


    At the same time, the scene of Lu Fei¡¯s stern and righteous rejection was also seen by Mu Changye.


    At this moment, Liu Mengxiang and Mu Ruoxue had already gone back to rest, and Mu Changye heard Lu Fei¡¯s words.


    He couldn¡¯t help but feel happy in his heart, with eyes full of admiration.


    The next morning, Lu Fei woke up early.


    Before Lu Fei could even take a bite of breakfast, someone knocked on his door.


    Opening the door, a subordinate gasped and said,


    ¡°Brother Lu, someone is causing trouble. Brother Feng has already gone over there. He asked me to come and inform you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Fei¡¯s eyes flickered a few times.


    It has to be said that Feng Jun handled this matter very well, he got the job done without appearing to have taken away Lu Fei¡¯s power.


    Lu Fei nodded and said,


    ¡°Take me there. I want to see who is so foolish to come here and cause trouble!¡±


    When they arrived at the underground casino, it was still early in the morning and most of the gamblers preferred to stay up all night, so there weren¡¯t many people around.


    At this moment, Rogge and five or six of his companions were standing at the position of Heaven¡¯s Gambit.


    Rogge was facing off against Feng Jun.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t pay up, you won¡¯t be able to leave!¡±


    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s a trick to cheat people. Whoever falls for it is a fool¡­¡±


    By the time Lu Fei arrived, both sides were already arguing and the situation was escalating.


    And this situation was being played synchronously on the monitor in Mu Changye¡¯s study.


    At this moment, Mu Changye was sitting on the sofa in his robe, silently watching the situation unfold.


    Beside him, Mu Ruoxue was also holding a pillow, watching the screen with great interest, but she didn¡¯t spare a good face for Liu Mengxiang.


    Anyone who sees someone they don¡¯t like early in the morning wouldn¡¯t be happy.


    ¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Lu Fei¡¯s voice came through the group.


    Although his voice was not loud, the calm and indifferent tone made people involuntarily pay more attention to Lu Fei.


    Feng Jun frowned and walked over when he saw Lu Fei arrive.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s someone else who came to cause trouble. They came to play at Heaven¡¯s Gambit early in the morning and fired five shots in a row, but one shot managed to hit back.¡±


    ¡°When it was time for them to pay up, they refused and accused us of being a scam.¡±


    ¡°There aren¡¯t many guests here this early in the morning, so the impact isn¡¯t too big yet. But from their looks, they¡¯re probably professionals who came specifically to cause trouble.¡±


    ¡°We must handle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the impact will be quite significant.¡±


    Feng Jun did not underestimate Lu Fei just because he was young. Based on yesterday¡¯s experiences, Lu Fei was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.


    Upon hearing Feng Jun¡¯s words, Lu Fei nodded in agreement.


    That¡¯s right.


    This was the time for Rogge to make his move.


    Because in the middle of the day, Rogge would be ambushed by people who were already waiting here, and he would be seriously injured until he escaped to the protagonist¡¯s side for help.


    But now that he was here, he would not allow such a thing to happen.


    Just as this thought flashed through Lu Fei¡¯s mind, the system prompt suddenly sounded,


    [Congratulations on changing the plot, you have gained +900 destiny points.]


    [Congratulations, due to the significant fluctuations in the plot caused by your actions, you have deprived Lin Ran of 1000 destiny points and successfully gained Poison Medical Skills (Master)!]


    [Poison Medical Skills: One thought gives rise to white bones, one thought kills flesh] [1]


    Liu Fei stood still, looking at his newly acquired ability, the Poison Medical Skills.


    The corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help but turn towards Rogge.


    Isn¡¯t this a perfect opportunity to bring this little brother to submission!


    Coming back to his senses,


    Lu Fei looked at Rogge, who had furrowed eyebrows and tightly pursed lips. This was the signal that he was about to make his move.


    ¡°If the ambushers don¡¯t show up in time, with Rogge¡¯s skills, at least seven or eight people will die here.¡±


    ¡°Let me handle it.¡±


    After hearing Feng Jun¡¯s words, Lu Fei remained calm and spoke directly.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Feng Jun looked at Lu Fei with some surprise. He had just hinted that these people were dangerous


    Feng Jun didn¡¯t want Lu Fei to get hurt. If Lu Fei went to the family head to report him, it would be a big problem.


    And now he wanted to handle it himself?


    ¡°Step aside, that man is very dangerous and not something you can handle.¡±


    Lu Fei kindly reminded Feng Jun, who had been quite savvy these past few days.


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Feng Jun looked deeply at him with an incredulous expression.


    However, because Lu Fei had the boss¡¯s orders behind him, in terms of status, he was supposed to be lower than Lu Fei, so Feng Jun had no choice but to obey.


    ¡°Okay, but if you get hurt¡­¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t!¡±


    Lu Fei interrupted Feng Jun¡¯s words with great confidence.


    With the system¡¯s gift of ten times the physical abilities of an ordinary person and mastery of combat, let alone Rogge, he could even compete with Lin Ran.


    If he were to get injured while fighting Rogge, he might as well find a tofu to smash himself to death.


    The strength of Rogge only slowly improved after following Lin Ran.


    In terms of talent, Lu Fei felt that Rogge¡¯s talent was much better than Lin Ran¡¯s, but he never managed to catch up with Lin Ran¡¯s footsteps.


    Even with just a little thought, Lu Fei knew why this was the case.

 CH 23

    23. Haven¡¯t seen such a capable villain before!


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    Feng Jun nodded since Lu Fei said so.


    He had no choice but to agree.


    Then, Lu Fei walked towards Rogge, his steps casual, but in fact, he was extremely vigilant.


    Because according to the feedback from the villain halo, it can be seen that Rogge¡¯s favorability towards him has dropped below 0 degrees.


    It is possible that Rogge will attack Lu Fei at any time.


    Although he was confident in his own strength, he didn¡¯t want to make a mistake. It would be like a slap in the face.


    Rogge looked at Lu Fei, who was approaching step by step.


    His tightly furrowed brows became even more wrinkled.


    From Lu Fei¡¯s body, he sensed extreme danger.


    Even the hair on his body involuntarily stood up.


    This is a subtle perception that only people who are extremely sensitive to danger can perceive.


    Rogge didn¡¯t want to drag it out any longer.


    He had received the money, and the purpose of this trip was to smash the place.


    ¡°Let¡¯s calm down and talk, what do you think?¡±


    Lu Fei looked at Rogge, with a faint smile on his lips, and spoke.


    Seeing this young man with a gentle smile, Rogge¡¯s heart did not calm down at all. Instead, he felt that Lu Fei was like a fierce beast that chooses its prey.


    ¡°Get out of here, who wants to talk to you?¡±


    Rogge stood up and kicked out.


    Rogge kicked one of Lu Fei¡¯s men in front of him with the tip of his shoe.


    Immediately, a big man who was 5 feet 9 inches tall was kicked by Rogge and flew out, crashing into Lu Fei.


    Rogge knew that it was better to take the initiative and strike first than to let Lu Fei control the situation.


    The sense of threat that he felt from Lu Fei made him understand that only by catching him off guard could he have a chance to fight back.


    The men behind Rogge also put on their prepared brass knuckles and smashed the people around them.


    In just three to five seconds, seven or eight of the people brought by Feng Jun were suddenly unable to resist the unexpected attacks.


    Seeing this, Feng Jun knew that these people had come prepared, otherwise, they would not have been so well prepared.


    Rogge¡¯s sudden attack did gain some advantage, but this method only works when the strength of both sides is not too different.


    When the strength gap is too large, no matter what small tricks are used, they are useless in the face of absolute strength.


    Rogge obviously ignored this point.


    He was confident in his own strength, having retired from a top mercenary organization. Even though he had accumulated some hidden illnesses, in terms of combat effectiveness, an active special forces soldier would not be his match.


    Because his job was to spill blood on the edge of the knife, and special forces soldiers were just well-trained. In a life-and-death situation, the chance of survival was much greater for a mercenary.


    However, unfortunately for him, his opponent was Lu Fei.


    Rogge attacked again, turning his palm into a claw, with his five fingers like steel nails, fiercely grabbing at Lu Fei¡¯s neck.


    This position is the weakest and most important part of the human body.


    It can only be said that he grabbed at a very tricky angle. If he were facing an ordinary person, perhaps there would be no way to resist this attack, but he was facing Lu Fei.


    This attack was doomed to fail.


    As the lightning-fast claws attacked, Lu Fei calmly took a step back, giving himself a second to react.


    Then, he kicked at Rogge¡¯s elbow, avoiding the attack.


    The surrounding men saw their boss suffer a loss and didn¡¯t care about anything else, quickly waving their brass knuckles and smashing them toward Lu Fei from all directions.


    As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Feng Jun¡¯s heart sank as he saw four or five people attacking Lu Fei together.


    If Lu Fei died here, he would still be alive and well. How could he explain this to the family head?


    But just as everyone thought Lu Fei couldn¡¯t avoid the attack and would be seriously injured.


    At that moment,


    Lu Fei seemed to transform into a battle robot. He bent his legs slightly and jumped in place.


    He actually jumped five or six meters high, instantly escaping from the group¡¯s attack.


    Then, he grabbed a chair next to him and smashed it fiercely at one of the people who was standing still.


    Instantly, the person¡¯s head was smashed and bleeding, howling in pain.


    The chair scattered on the ground, but Lu Fei didn¡¯t hesitate. He picked up a bottle of whiskey next to him and smashed it on another person¡¯s head.


    In an instant, the bottle shattered, and the alcohol spilled all over the person¡¯s body. Blood gushed from the top of his head, looking terrifying and gruesome.


    Next, Lu Fei took off his coat, wrapped it around his fist, and leaped forward, smashing the person¡¯s head.


    With Lu Fei¡¯s physical fitness ten times that of an ordinary person, he hit the third person so hard that they saw stars.


    The remaining two people looked at each other and hesitated to attack.


    Lu Fei may look easy to talk to and young, but when he started fighting, he didn¡¯t hold back and aimed all his attacks at their heads. In a short period of time, he had disabled three people in the blink of an eye.


    The other two people were still bleeding from their heads and hadn¡¯t stopped yet.


    They had never seen such ruthless tactics before.


    As Rogge steadied himself, he saw that out of the five people he brought with him, three of them were unable to fight back against Lu Fei¡¯s attacks.


    Even Rogge himself couldn¡¯t achieve this level of skill. At this moment, a strong sense of fear rose in Rogge¡¯s heart.

 CH 24

    24. Fighting over! Sister-in-law is Gone!


    Rogge looked at Lu Fei, who had a relaxed and comfortable expression, and his heart suddenly sank.


    Should he run?


    Or should he continue to fight?


    The predicament kept swaying in Rogge¡¯s mind.


    However, a picture flashed through his mind, and Rogge¡¯s hesitant eyes suddenly became firm.


    He must fight!


    With this thought in mind, the actions of his hands did not stop.


    Ignoring the two henchmen who dared not make a move, Rogge rushed out like a fierce tiger released from its cage.


    At this moment, every part of Rogge¡¯s body had turned into a sharp weapon.


    Hands, elbows, legs, feet, and even his head¡­


    Everything existed only to kill the opponent.


    Rogge¡¯s sharp moves were so fast that bystanders could only see afterimages.


    At this moment, Rogge felt that he was at the peak of his state as if he had turned into a killing machine.


    However, Lu Fei, who was facing Rogge, was not afraid at all. Even in the face of Rogge¡¯s fierce attacks, Lu Fei¡¯s expression did not change at all.


    He only furrowed his brows slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.


    Yes, Lu Fei had developed some interest in this opponent and even thought about whether he should slowly defeat this opponent.


    Just to play with Rogge a little longer.


    After all, at this moment, only Rogge could make him relax a bit.


    Therefore, in the underground casino, everyone saw this strange scene.


    Rogge kept attacking Lu Fei, attacking again and again.


    While Lu Fei casually dodged and defended, occasionally, when he was in the mood, he would suddenly strike.


    Seizing a flaw in Rogge¡¯s defense and attacking.


    The onlookers were constantly refreshing their impression of Lu Fei just by seeing this scene.


    His strength alone was enough to impress everyone.


    Feng Jun looked at Lu Fei, who was constantly fighting Rogge, and was secretly shocked.


    If Lu Fei was in a bad mood when he was looking down on Lu Fei, it wouldn¡¯t have been as simple as getting slapped in the face.


    The few subordinates he brought yesterday probably wouldn¡¯t be enough for him to beat up Lu Fei.


    Now, Feng Jun thought back and felt that he had been slapped in the face but still profited.


    The scene of Lu Fei and Rogge¡¯s battle was also displayed in Mu Changye¡¯s study at the moment.


    In the study, Mu Changye, Mu Ruoxue, and Liu Mengxiang stared at the screen with their eyes fixed on Lu Fei, who was calmly responding to the attacks.


    All three having different thoughts of their own.


    Sitting in the front row, Mu Changye watched as Lu Fei demonstrated his extraordinary skills, his eyes revealing a sense of satisfaction.


    With a sharp mind and a calm demeanor, Lu Fei¡¯s fighting skills were unmatched even by his personal bodyguards.


    Such talent must be firmly grasped and kept close at hand, for the loss would be great if he were to leave.


    Meanwhile, Liu Mengxiang leaned against Mu Changye, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Fei¡¯s body.


    Her gaze was fixed on the screen, her ample bosom heaving with excitement.


    How ruthless, how domineering.


    Her mind gradually conjured up strange images, especially when she saw Lu Fei¡¯s bloody methods of dealing with the three henchmen, causing her alluring body to shudder imperceptibly.


    Only then did she snap out of her reverie and return to reality.


    Her cheeks flushed red, she cautiously glanced at Mu Changye¡¯s eyes fixed on the screen and quietly exhaled a sigh of relief.


    Just as Mu Changye was weighing how to win over Lu Fei, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s voice sounded from the side.


    ¡°Wow!¡±


    ¡°I never realized how amazing Lu Fei was before. Daddy, you can¡¯t take him away from me. I want him to protect me!¡±


    As Mu Ruoxue¡¯s small eyes sparkled with brilliance and her head kept coming up with ideas, Liu Mengxiang¡¯s sweet voice rang in Mu Changye¡¯s ear.


    ¡°Changye, how about assigning him to me? Ruoxue is basically always at the Mu¡¯s house and has bodyguards protecting her, unlike me who¡¯s always outside¡­ if anything unexpected happens and I can¡¯t see you, I won¡¯t be able to bear it!¡±


    As she spoke, Liu Mengxiang gently shook Mu Changye¡¯s arm and looked at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes.


    Before Mu Changye could say anything, Mu Ruoxue frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows and glared at the wicked woman, shouting in a coquettish voice,


    ¡°No, no, Daddy, you must love me more. I want him to protect me. He was originally mine, you can¡¯t take him away!¡±


    As she spoke, Mu Ruoxue looked like a little cat protecting her food, fluffing up her fur and glaring at Mu Changye.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Seeing two women in his family fighting over Lu Fei, Mu Changye¡¯s brow furrowed in pain.


    ¡°Hmph, if you take away my person, I¡¯ll go kneel at Mom¡¯s place tonight and say you don¡¯t want me anymore!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue threw a bombshell when she saw her dad still hesitating.


    ¡°You child, I won¡¯t take your person. I won¡¯t take your person, okay!¡±


    Mu Changye¡¯s face flashed with a hint of reminiscence, then turned to Liu Mengxiang and said,


    ¡°Mengxiang, I didn¡¯t consider it carefully before. I¡¯ll have Mu San protect you, so I can rest assured. What do you think?¡±


    Liu Mengxiang, who heard this, frowned slightly and said casually,


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you to decide!¡±


    Liu Mengxiang was a smart person and knew that although she held a significant place in Mu Changye¡¯s heart, she was still slightly inferior to his biological daughter.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go to the bathroom first!¡±


    After saying this, Liu Mengxiang left the study directly.


    She wasn¡¯t angry.


    She just wanted to tidy up. If Mu Changye smelled any strange smell, it wouldn¡¯t be good.


    Thinking of this, a young man¡¯s figure flashed through Liu Mengxiang¡¯s mind, and her cheeks, which had just recovered, turned red again¡­

    25. Subduing Rogge!


    As the fists and feet clashed, time passed.


    Rogge¡¯s heart sank like a stone falling into the sea.


    At this point, Rogge was not a fool and naturally understood the reason that he could hold his own against Lu Fei wasn¡¯t that they were evenly matched.


    It was just that Lu Fei was playing with him.


    Despite his fierce punches and deadly moves, he had not actually caused any trouble for Lu Fei.


    The latter easily resolved his attacks.


    It was like an adult playing with a child.


    With this thought in mind, Rogge began to consider retreating. If he didn¡¯t leave now, he might be stuck here.


    He had come here to cause trouble for money, but he wasn¡¯t here to risk his life.


    ¡°Just get out of here!¡±


    They saw Rogge sweeping out with one leg, forcing Lu Fei to step back three or five steps.


    Instantly retracting his move, Rogge turned around and tried to escape.


    He understood the principle of leaving a way out for himself. Even if the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. [1]


    Seeing Rogge turn to escape, how could Lu Fei let him go as he wished?


    If he lets him go, isn¡¯t he just giving the protagonist a chance to gain a little brother?


    Putting away his playful attitude, Lu Fei¡¯s eyes instantly become sharp.


    His calf muscles tighten suddenly, and his whole body was like a spring. With one jump, he appears in front of Rogge¡¯s escape route.


    ¡°Wanna run? Ask me first!¡±


    With a cold snort, Lu Fei swept his leg towards Rogge. It was the same move Rogge had used to force him back earlier, and Lu Fei chose to return it exactly as it had been done to him.


    Lu Fei¡¯s leg kicked like a whip, lightning-fast and coming towards Rogge.


    Without time to react, Rogge hurriedly crossed his arms in front of his chest.


    As their hands and legs touched, Rogge¡¯s body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.


    In a blink of an eye, everyone saw Rogge, who had tried to run away, sent flying back by Lu Fei¡¯s kick.


    He crashed onto the ground and, after struggling to recover his senses, Rogge felt his hands, which had been used to block the attack, trembling uncontrollably. He had temporarily lost his ability to fight.


    It can be seen that Lu Fei was indeed very strong!


    ¡°How about it, can you listen to me now?¡±


    Seeing that Rogge had given up on running away, Lu Fei picked up a chair that was not broken and sat in front of Rogge, asking.


    Seeing that Lu Fei still had a calm and composed look, sitting high above him, Rogge¡¯s heart sank and he said in a deep voice:


    ¡°I¡¯m just doing it for the money. If you want to kill or cut, go ahead!¡±


    Seeing Lu Fei take down Rogge, Feng Jun also walked over. Seeing Rogge¡¯s appearance, he was still so arrogant, his face immediately darkened.


    ¡°So arrogant, as if we are the villains.¡±


    Just as Feng Jun was about to teach Rogge a lesson, Lu Fei spoke up to stop him.


    As someone who had read the original story, Lu Fei knew that although Rogge had a straightforward personality, once he was won over, he would be a loyal follower.


    Although he had not yet won over Rogge, he had already had the idea of wanting to recruit him as his follower.


    ¡°Hold on, I said I¡¯ll handle this.¡±


    Lu Fei¡¯s voice was not loud, but it conveyed an unquestionable tone.


    Upon hearing this, Feng Jun¡¯s body stiffened, and he suddenly remembered the terrifying combat power of Lu Fei, finally suppressing the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart.


    With a smile on his face, he looked at Lu Fei and said,


    ¡°Please go ahead.¡±


    In the eyes of Feng Jun and the other people in the underworld, seniority and other things were not as important as strength.


    They had already been deeply impressed by Lu Fei¡¯s inhuman combat power.


    Not to mention that Lu Fei came under the order of the family head, just this alone made them unqualified to refuse.


    Seeing Feng Jun¡¯s recognition, Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction.


    It was really satisfying to be able to be so arrogant with such overwhelming strength. It was much more enjoyable than those protagonists who pretend to be cool and get slapped in the face.


    Those protagonists had to be scolded or humiliated before they could start showing off.


    But what about Lu Fei? He had a big boss to rely on and no one dared to disrespect him. Wasn¡¯t that satisfying?


    ¡°Your strength is impressive. Instead of selling your life for a small amount of money, why not join me? The Mu family is big and has a great business. With your abilities, money is just a piece of paper.¡±


    Lu Fei directly recruited Rogge.


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, not only Rogge but even Feng Jun and others around him frowned slightly. Did he just recruit him like that?


    ¡°Brother Lu Fei, this¡­¡±


    Feng Jun had just started speaking when Lu Fei interrupted him, saying,


    ¡°You heard him. He¡¯s just a small-time guy who does things for money. He has good skills, so it would be beneficial for the Mu family to recruit him. As for the person behind him, I believe that with the Mu family¡¯s abilities, it won¡¯t be difficult to find out.¡±


    After speaking, Lu Fei¡¯s gaze turned to Rogge, as if waiting for his response.


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    It was impossible for Rogge not to waver when he saw that Lu Fei not only didn¡¯t reprimand him but also recruited him.


    However, he was still hesitating. He didn¡¯t want to take the money from his superiors and then turn around and be a hypocrite.


    Seeing Rogge hesitating, Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and walked up to him, saying,


    ¡°I know you have a younger sister who is about ten years old and has an eye disease that is difficult to cure with medicine, right?¡±


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Rogge¡¯s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Lu Fei warily.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, why are you so nervous? What if I told you I could cure your sister¡¯s eye disease?¡±

 CH 26

    26. Poison medical skills, one thought can bring life or death!


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, there was a hint of suspicion in Rogge¡¯s eyes.


    As if sensing Rogge¡¯s doubt, Lu Fei smiled lightly and said,


    ¡°You can rest assured that there is no need for me to deceive you. Even your own life and death are in my hands. Do you think I have nothing better to do than to deceive you?¡±


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s amusing?¡±


    Lu Fei¡¯s words were like the last straw that broke the camel¡¯s back.[1] Rogge looked at Lu Fei¡¯s calm and confident gaze and inexplicably felt that his sister¡¯s eye disease could be cured by this person.


    ¡°My name is Rogge, I¡¯m willing to listen to you. As long as you cure my sister¡¯s eyes, I¡¯m willing to do anything!¡±


    A big man over 5 feet 9 inches tall, in such a dangerous situation, did not shed a tear. But in just a few words from Lu Fei, he knelt directly in front of him.


    This was really too strange.


    At this point, the eyes of the crowd looking at Lu Fei had a hint of fear.


    ¡°We can¡¯t delay any longer, let¡¯s go. It will also make you feel more at ease. What do you think?¡±


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t want to waste any time. He had just acquired poison medical skills by changing the plot and wanted to try out its effectiveness.


    Lu Fei knew a little about Rogge¡¯s sister¡¯s eye disease, which was caused by being bitten by some poisonous insect or rodent when she was a child, and the toxin was compressed in the eye nerves.


    In the original work, Lin Ran used the Ghost God Eighteen Needles to barely suppress the toxin and later spent a lot of effort to slowly remove it.


    But Lu Fei¡¯s poison medical skills were said to be able to produce even bones with one thought and kill people with one thought. It couldn¡¯t be worse than Lin Ran¡¯s so-called Ghost God Eighteen Needles, right?


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Rogge¡¯s eyes immediately lit up with joy.


    ¡°You guys take care of things here. I have something to do and need to go out. Call me if there¡¯s anything!¡±


    After giving instructions, Lu Fei prepared to leave with Rogge.


    And this scene was also seen by Mu Changye.


    He was filled with shock in his eyes. Lu Fei had just subdued a powerful person with just a few words. This ability to handle things was rare, even in his Mu family!


    Lu Fei is indeed a rare talent, and he has also recruited such a powerful subordinate for the Mu family. It¡¯s really good.


    As Lu Fei appeared on the screen, Mu Ruoxue and Liu Mengxiang sitting on both sides of Mu Changye also looked at him with admiration.


    ¡­


    After leaving the casino, Lu Fei got into a Bentley.


    Rogge sat in the driver¡¯s seat and quickly immersed himself in the role of a subordinate.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, you also seem to have accumulated some serious hidden illnesses on your body!¡±


    Lu Fei suddenly said to Rogge in the back seat while driving.


    Upon hearing this, Rogge¡¯s eyes dimmed a bit, and he said,


    ¡°Yes, boss¡­ it¡¯s all accumulated from various old injuries in the past. I couldn¡¯t fight anymore, so I came back from abroad.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me boss, just call me Brother Lu. I¡¯m also working under the Mu family now, so it¡¯s better to understand that in your heart.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you a prescription later, and you can grab the medicine and take it yourself. In less than a month, the hidden illnesses in your body will naturally be resolved.¡±


    Upon hearing what Lu Fei said, there was a hint of excitement in Rogge¡¯s eyes, but he still had some doubts.


    ¡°Is this¡­ really possible?¡±


    ¡°Believe it or not, wait until I cure your sister, then you will understand.¡±


    In fact, Lu Fei had a faster method, which was to use his poison medical skills to directly restore Rogge¡¯s body to its healthiest state in just ten minutes.


    However, until Rogge¡¯s favorability towards him reached 90 or above, Lu Fei chose to be reserved.


    Currently, Rogge¡¯s favorability towards him was around 79, which posed a risk of betrayal.


    When it reached 90 or above, it would be difficult to betray him, and at 95 or above, it would be absolute loyalty, although it was almost impossible to reach 100%,.


    Because they were still humans, not puppets and humans cannot be 100% loyal.


    They drove in silence, with Rogge driving the Bentley towards the development zone near the city center of Shanghai.


    They stopped at an old residential building.


    The appearance of the Bentley attracted the attention of people walking around there.


    This is a car worth several million, and it is rare to see such luxury cars in this area.


    After reaching the third floor, Rogge stood at the door and took a deep breath. He changed his tone to a gentle one before opening the door and saying,


    ¡°Xiao Ying, do you want brother to take you out to bask in the sun today?¡±


    ¡°Brother?¡±


    A clear voice like a yellow oriole came from inside the room.


    Then, a little girl who looked about fifteen years old walked out slowly, leaning on a cane and feeling her way along the wall.


    Even though her lively eyes were temporarily deprived of sight, the vitality in her voice seemed to be constantly influencing those around her.


    ¡°Slow down, what if you fall!¡±


    Rogge¡¯s words were full of reproach, but his tone showed his concern.


    ¡°Brother Lu¡­ no, boss Lu, you must cure Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes, I can do anything!¡±


    Seeing his younger sister unable to see the light and feel the colors at such a young age, Rogge¡¯s heart was filled with pain.


    He begged countless famous doctors and visited hundreds of hospitals, but he still couldn¡¯t solve this problem. Later, in order to avoid affecting Xiao Ying¡¯s emotions, he stopped seeking medical treatment.


    ???¡ï?(???)?¡ï???

    27: Return to the Mu family villa!


    ¡°Rest assured, if I¡¯m not confident, why would I accompany you all the way here?¡±


    Lu Fei looked at Rogge¡¯s worries and expectations and said calmly.


    Entering the room, Lu Fei came to Xiao Ying¡¯s side and placed his hand on her head.


    After a while, Lu Fei opened his slightly closed eyes and said lightly,


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem. At most, in half an hour, she will be able to see things clearly.¡±


    Hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, a hint of surprise appeared on Rogge¡¯s face.


    ¡°Brother Lu¡­¡±


    ¡°Enough with the idle talk, just watch from the side.¡±


    Lu Fei interrupted and asked Xiao Ying to lie down on the bed and close her eyes.


    His big hand covered Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes.


    For this small problem, even auxiliary materials were not needed for the Poison Medical Technique. All that was needed was to force out the toxins accumulated in Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes, and her eyes would regain their sight.


    After a short while, small droplets of pale red tears flowed from the tightly closed corners of Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes.


    Seeing this, Lu Fei remained calm and knew that it was the toxins accumulated in Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes. He couldn¡¯t resolve them directly inside her body, so he had to force them out.


    Five minutes later, Xiao Ying¡¯s tears turned back to their normal color, and only then did Lu Fei release his grip.


    He took a step back, looking slightly exhausted.


    ¡°Clean her eyes, she should be able to see clearly now, but be careful not to strain her eyes too much, or it will cause discomfort.¡±


    ¡°Let her adapt a little bit every day, and after about one or two weeks, her vision will be almost as good as ours!¡±


    As Lu Fei¡¯s voice rang out, Xiao Ying, who had been nervous all along, timidly opened her eyes.


    At first, blurry images swayed in front of her eyes, but after rubbing her eyes, she could see the scar on Rogge¡¯s eyebrow clearly.


    ¡°Brother, I¡­I think I can see you clearly now!¡±


    Xiao Ying¡¯s surprised voice sounded.


    Seeing that Xiao Ying¡¯s eyes could finally see things clearly, Rogge thanked Lu Fei gratefully,


    ¡°Brother Lu, you saved my sister. I will never forget this kindness. I am not an ungrateful person!¡±


    As Rogge¡¯s voice rang out, Lu Fei noticed that Rogge¡¯s favorability towards him had skyrocketed from 79 to 91, making him a trusted subordinate.


    Lu Fei waved his hand and said, ¡°You guys talk first. I¡¯ll sit for a while!¡±


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t disturb their warm time together as siblings, but instead walked to the living room and sat down.


    At the moment when Rogge¡¯s favorability increased to 91, he suddenly heard the familiar sound of the system prompt.


    ¡°Congratulations host for successfully changing the plot and snatching 500 points of the protagonist Lin Ran¡¯s luck.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, host. You have gained a reward of 1000 destiny points for changing the plot.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, host. You have gained a passive skill ¡®Gentle as Jade¡¯ as a reward for changing the plot.¡±


    ¡°Gentle as Jade, primary (passive skill). After learning, it¡¯ll help you naturally gain 10 favorability points from people around you.¡±


    ¡°Improving passive skills requires luck.¡±


    As the system prompt ended, Lu Fei looked at the reward¡¯s passive skill and smiled.


    This passive skill was amazing.


    Normally, the initial favorability between two strangers is 30, but Lu Fei will gain additional 10 favorability points because of the passive skill. Wasn¡¯t this like a divine skill?


    Once this passive skill is upgraded to the highest level, no matter where Lu Fei goes, he will have almost 60 initial favorability points. This is simply incredible!


    Just as Lu Fei was immersed in his fantasies, his phone rang suddenly, interrupting his thoughts.


    He took out his phone and saw that Mu Changye¡¯s personal call had come in.


    ¡°Hello, Master!¡±


    Mu Changye¡¯s cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone,


    ¡°Lu Fei, come over this afternoon. I heard about the underground casino incident, and you handled it well!¡±


    Lu Fei nodded and responded calmly,


    ¡°It¡¯s all for the sake of the Master, just fulfilling my duties to the end.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be modest. When you work for Mu Changye, rewards, and punishments are clear, and you won¡¯t be treated unfairly!¡±


    Hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Mu Changye¡¯s mood improved even more.


    Since the conversation had reached this point, Lu Fei no longer felt the need to be humble. If he continued to be humble, it would seem too fake. So, Lu Fei agreed.


    ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    ¡°Keep up the good work.¡±


    After that, Mu Changye hung up the phone.


    As soon as the phone hung up, Rogge walked out of the room.


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t say much and went straight to the living room to find a pen and paper. He wrote down a list of medicinal herbs and their usage methods, and handed it to Rogge, saying,


    ¡°I have something to do this afternoon, so I won¡¯t accompany you to collect the herbs. Follow this prescription, and I guarantee that your illness will be cured in a week!¡±


    ¡°If there¡¯s anything, I¡¯ll come find you. In the meantime, you can go to the Mu family. I¡¯ll make the arrangements.¡±


    After giving the instructions, Lu Fei turned around and left.


    He didn¡¯t say anything to win Rogge¡¯s heart, because he could see from the villain halo that Rogge¡¯s favorability had already increased.


    From the original 91 favorability, it suddenly skyrocketed to a loyal 95.


    It was because he had learned the passive skill of being gentle as jade that he was able to increase the favorability that was difficult to improve by 4 points.


    At this moment, Rogge had become his person.


    He had nothing to do with Lin Ran.

 CH 28

    28: Competing due to jealousy!!


    Driving a Bentley, cruising on the road.


    Vehicles worth less than a million around him all give way to Lu Fei¡¯s Bentley.


    After two or three hours, Lu Fei arrived at the Mu family villa on the west bank of the development zone.


    The car stopped at the door, and Lu Fei got out of the car.


    Uncle Fu was already standing outside, waiting.


    Seeing Lu Fei¡¯s figure, he was slightly stunned.


    He suddenly felt like an old friend who hadn¡¯t seen Lu Fei for a long time, with a kind smile on his face, he quickly greeted him.


    ¡°Lu Fei, the family head has been waiting for a long time, please come this way!¡±


    Lu Fei smiled and nodded, following Uncle Fu¡¯s lead.


    As expected, the gentle-as-jade passive skill worked!


    Upon arriving at the living room, Uncle Fu stepped back, and the Mu family of three was sitting in the living room.


    ¡°Lu Fei is here!¡±


    Mu Changye spoke first.


    ¡°Lu Fei, you¡¯re here!¡±


    Seeing Lu Fei appear, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s eyes lit up, and she didn¡¯t even bother to put on her shoes. She ran to Lu Fei¡¯s side with her delicate feet in white cat paw-printed stockings.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t I realize how awesome you are before? If you had told me earlier, I would have taken you out to show off for me. I¡¯ll see who dares to mess with me, I¡¯ll make you beat them up!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue waved her small fists, and her mouth couldn¡¯t help but show a proud smile as if she had thought of something funny.


    No one noticed, but the corners of their mouths twitched, including Lu Fei¡¯s.


    Mu Ruoxue¡¯s little act was practically telling Lu Fei that they had been monitoring his actions


    Mu Changye quickly caught on and cleared his throat a couple of times before saying, ¡°The information that came from people below is that, given the scale of the operation, it must not be easy to manage without some means.¡±


    He casually brushed it off and said, ¡°Come over and sit down. I saw your performance, and it was very good!¡±


    As he spoke, Mu Changye was about to pour tea for Lu Fei when Liu Mengxiang took the teapot first.


    After pouring tea into Mu Changye¡¯s teacup, she gently poured a cup of tea for Lu Fei.


    Mu Changye thought little of it and was even quite satisfied with Liu Mengxiang¡¯s actions.


    He then reached for the teacup and gestured, ¡°Here, have a sip of tea. When you go out later, you can say you¡¯ve had tea from me, which will give you more confidence!¡±


    After speaking, Mu Changye smiled at Lu Fei, looking like he valued Lu Fei¡¯s performance very much.


    However, Lu Fei knew that this was not a matter of importance, but a way of testing him.


    It was a subtle way of telling him that his every move was being watched, so he should be more honest.


    Lu Fei smiled and picked up the cup of tea, saying, ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    Then he drank the tea cleanly and happily, letting Mu Changye know that he understood.


    Both of them were smart people, so they could understand each other¡¯s intentions even if they were vague, which was why so many people liked to deal with smart people.


    Seeing Lu Fei drink the tea so happily, Mu Changye¡¯s smile became even more sincere and satisfied.


    ¡°Lu Fei, you¡¯ve worked hard on the journey, drink more!¡±


    Liu Mengxiang then poured Lu Fei another cup of tea and looked at him with a smile.


    Just staring at Lu Fei like that.


    Mu Changye didn¡¯t think much about it and continued to speak,


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing going on at the underground casino, so you can follow Ruoxue for now.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a banquet at the Su family in a few days, and I¡¯m inconvenient to go, so I will let Ruoxue represent my Mu family. I trust you to go with her, and if there¡¯s any unexpected situation, you can call me!¡±


    Upon hearing Mu Changye¡¯s words, Lu Fei nodded and agreed.


    It was just a banquet, although he seemed to have heard of it somewhere, Lu Fei didn¡¯t pay much attention and just agreed.


    On the other side, Mu Ruoxue saw that the bad woman Liu Mengxiang was always pouring tea for her follower. What¡¯s going on?


    If she couldn¡¯t win openly, Is she trying to use this trick?


    No way!


    Mu Ruoxue narrowed her eyes and quickly grabbed the teapot from Liu Mengxiang¡¯s hand, refilling Lu Fei¡¯s cup for the third time.


    ¡°Lu Fei, drink mine, don¡¯t drink the tea she poured!¡±


    Mu Changye saw his daughter suddenly arguing with Liu Mengxiang again, and his head began to ache.


    Lu Fei looked helpless as he looked at the full cup of tea, and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already had three cups, I can¡¯t drink anymore!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue heard this and looked at Lu Fei with a face full of grievances, angrily asking, ¡°Do you look down on me?¡±


    Lu Fei was helpless. What kind of trouble was this little troublemaker causing now?


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t!¡±


    ¡°You do look down on me! Otherwise, you would drink it!¡±


    Lu Fei sighed and was speechless. It was just a cup of tea, but she was making it appear like he betrayed her. Fortunately, her father was here and witnessed the whole thing.


    Otherwise, if he suddenly appeared here without any justification, wouldn¡¯t he give Mu Changye a reason to reprimand him?


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll drink it. I like your tea the most. I won¡¯t drink anyone else¡¯s tea from now on. I¡¯ll only drink yours, okay?¡±


    With that, Lu Fei drank the fourth cup of tea directly.


    Mu Changye, who was beside him, also looked at Lu Fei with concern and said, ¡°Lu Fei, don¡¯t mind her. This child is mischievous.¡±


    Lu Fei pretended to be indifferent and unconcerned on the surface, but in his heart, he wanted to grab Mu Changye by the collar and scold him.


    How could you call her mischievous?


    Whose mischievous child is like this?

 CH 29

    29. I¡¯m looking to see if you have a little green on your head!


    Lu Fei laughed dryly and agreed, ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s a bit mischievous.¡±


    ¡°Uh, excuse me, I drank too much tea and need to use the bathroom. Sorry!¡±


    Suddenly, Lu Fei felt a bit bloated in his lower abdomen. He had drunk so much tea since he arrived here, and he definitely needed to use the bathroom.


    Most people might feel constrained because this was the Mu family¡¯s home and hold it until they left to solve the problem.


    But Lu Fei was not like most people, he wouldn¡¯t make himself uncomfortable.


    He directly asked to leave and use the bathroom.


    ¡°The bathroom is to the right of the living room!¡±


    Liu Mengxiang looked at Lu Fei gently and reminded him.


    Lu Fei nodded toward Liu Mengxiang to express his gratitude.


    Finally, this crazy woman had become a bit normal.


    Immediately, he walked towards the bathroom.


    As Lu Fei had left for less than two minutes, Liu Mengxiang also stood up to leave the living room.


    Before leaving, she greeted Mu Changye, ¡°I¡¯m going to touch up my makeup, you guys chat!¡±


    After speaking, she twisted her hips and walked away in her wine-red leather high heels.


    At this moment, Lu Fei, who had finally found the bathroom, relaxed and comfortably relieved himself.


    Suddenly, he faintly heard footsteps outside the door, walking towards him.


    What the hell?


    Click!!


    The tightly closed door suddenly opened.


    Lu Fei caught a glimpse of a fiery red figure walking in.


    What the fuck?


    Isn¡¯t this sister-in-law?


    Liu Mengxiang just walked straight in.


    She walked to the sink next to him, started applying makeup in the mirror, and seemed to ignore Lu Fei completely as if he were invisible.


    Lu Fei was dumbfounded.


    This situation couldn¡¯t be resolved easily.


    He frowned and tried to remind her in a low voice, ¡°Sister-in-law, what are you doing?¡±


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Liu Mengxiang seemed completely indifferent. She took out lipstick from her bag and applied it to her lips.


    ¡°I¡¯m just touching up my makeup!¡±


    Liu Mengxiang said confidently, making Lu Fei dumbfounded once again.


    What the hell!


    Is she crazy?


    Looking at Liu Mengxiang, who was only a turn of the head away, Lu Fei couldn¡¯t believe how reckless she was being. Her beloved was sitting in the living room, and she was running to the bathroom to touch up her makeup?


    If she got caught, what would happen?


    They might not even have a place to hide in Shanghai.


    ¡°Sister-in-law, the patriarch is still outside. It¡¯s difficult for me to handle this. What if he finds out?¡±


    Liu Mengxiang finished applying her lipstick and then took out the foundation, patting it onto her face. She responded, ¡°So what if he finds out? I have done nothing wrong. It¡¯s not my problem if it¡¯s difficult for you to handle.¡±


    After speaking, Liu Mengxiang had just finished applying her makeup and was ready to leave.


    As she was about to leave, Liu Mengxiang tilted her eyes slightly and gave a direct glance.


    Then a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.


    ¡°Well, not bad, quite impressive.¡±


    After speaking, she raised her eyebrows, shook her hair, and left with a smile on her face, swaying her figure in high heels.


    Standing in place, Lu Fei trembled.


    What the heck?


    Am I being teased?


    After finishing washing his hands, Lu Fei walked out.


    Returning to the living room, Liu Mengxiang was already sitting on the sofa, playing with her hair boredly.


    Mu Ruoxue also returned to her room, leaving only Mu Changye and Liu Mengxiang sitting in the living room.


    Seeing Lu Fei come out, Mu Changye looked at him and then put down his phone, saying,


    ¡°I received news that Lin Ran somehow got an invitation and will also attend the Su family banquet. Be careful and don¡¯t let that little bastard get close to Ruoxue!¡±


    ¡°Most importantly, don¡¯t let Ruoxue make any mistakes. You must keep an eye on her!¡±


    Upon hearing Mu Changye¡¯s words, Lu Fei suddenly realized.


    The Su family¡­


    So it was this Su family!


    It seemed that in the original plot, Lin Ran showed off his skills at the Su family banquet, not only gaining the support of the Su family but also getting involved with the Su family¡¯s daughter.


    As Lu Fei continued to recall the plot, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Mengxiang sitting next to Mu Changye, licking her lips.


    Opening her lips, she mimicked the shape of some words towards Lu Fei.


    It wasn¡¯t that Lu Fei deliberately wanted to look.


    It was just that those tempting red lips¡­ Oh, no, it was just that he accidentally recognized Liu Mengxiang¡¯s lip movements.


    It seemed to be something like¡­ ¡°You¡¯re so big?¡­ I really like it?¡±


    Most importantly, Liu Mengxiang seemed to notice Lu Fei looking at her and deliberately bit her lower lip.


    At that moment, she fully displayed the most charming side of a woman.


    Lu Fei was once again speechless.


    Is it possible that woman only acts this way when they get older? He had never seen someone so bold before!


    Your lover is right next to you, playing such a stimulating game, can your heart handle it?


    ¡°Lu Fei, what are you looking at?¡±


    Seeing Lu Fei in a daze, Mu Changye couldn¡¯t help but express his dissatisfaction and remind him.


    If it were another subordinate, he would have slapped him already for being absent-minded in front of him.


    ¡°Oh¡­ Master, I understand. I was just thinking about whether to prepare something just in case.¡±


    ¡°After all, you entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I am really nervous about messing it up!¡±


    Lu Fei quickly came up with an excuse and suppressed the strange look in his eyes.


    What am I looking at¡­


    I can¡¯t say that your little wife is exchanging glances with me!


    Or I¡¯m just checking if you have a green hat on your head.


    Why are you being so aggressive?!

 CH 30

    30: Another opportunity seized! The female lead is thinking about a follower!


    When it comes to scenes like this, Lu Fei is always ready with a response.


    What¡¯s most important is that Mu Changye loves to hear him talk like this.


    As a result, Mu Changye¡¯s slightly displeased expression turned into a big smile.


    ¡°Hahaha, very good, don¡¯t be nervous, it¡¯s just that tomorrow you¡¯ll accompany Ruoxue to represent my Mu family at the Su family¡¯s banquet. You just need to watch over Ruoxue and make sure she doesn¡¯t cause any trouble!¡±


    Mu Changye patted Lu Fei¡¯s shoulder and said.


    Lu Fei nodded and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Master, I¡¯ll protect her!¡±


    Seeing that Lu Fei was so sensible, Mu Changye smiled with satisfaction.


    After leaving the Mu family, Lu Fei¡¯s mind kept recalling the plot about the Su family from the original work.


    When he heard about the Su family, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.


    It turns out that the Su family in the original work was a family that provided great assistance to the protagonist, Lin Ran.


    The reason was that during the banquet, Lin Ran deliberately used some means to induce the Su family¡¯s patriarch¡¯s heart disease to occur earlier, and then he made a move to shock everyone and show off. When Lu Fei was reading the book before, he didn¡¯t think much of it.


    But now thinking back, this Lin Ran sometimes seems even more like a major antagonist than the main antagonist!


    Truly worthy of being the protagonist of a novel, prioritizing his own interests above all else!


    According to the original plot, the protagonist Lin Ran and the female lead Jiang Wenying would definitely appear at the banquet, and it was precisely because of Lin Ran¡¯s display of skills that not only did Jiang Wenying¡¯s impression of the protagonist change significantly, but the Su family also held a grateful heart towards Lin Ran.


    One of the most important opportunities for the protagonist Lin Ran¡¯s rise was the Su family, who brought the Lin family behind him into the circle of Shanghai and helped them become a first-class family.


    Thinking of this, a smile of anticipation appeared on Lu Fei¡¯s lips.


    Previously, he only changed the plot which had little impact, but he still received so much destiny value and skills.


    If he were to cut off the opportunity for Lin Ran¡¯s future rise, wouldn¡¯t he be soaring to the sky?


    In the face of the system¡¯s rewards, who wouldn¡¯t be happy to do it?!


    ¡­


    On the other side.


    Jiang Wenying, who was working in the office, suddenly heard the phone ringing.


    She answered the phone, and Lin Ran¡¯s voice came from the other end of the line,


    ¡°Jiang, in a few days there would be a banquet at the Su family, I guess your Jiang family will probably send you and your elder brother to attend the banquet!¡±


    Hearing Lin Ran¡¯s voice, Jiang Wenying¡¯s eyebrows inexplicably furrowed, and she said indifferently,


    ¡°Whether I attend the banquet or not, it seems to have nothing to do with you!¡±


    Jiang Wenying¡¯s distant tone and words made Lin Ran pause, but he seemed accustomed to Jiang Wenying¡¯s indifference toward him.


    He continued to speak,


    ¡°I didn¡¯t call just to chat with you. I thought you might need a male companion for the banquet. What do you think of me?¡±


    On the call, Lin Ran offered himself.


    Upon hearing Lin Ran¡¯s shameless words, Jiang Wenying felt even more disgusted with him.


    Who do you think you are? Even if I needed a male companion, I wouldn¡¯t choose you!


    ¡°Mr. Lin, I don¡¯t know where you got the wrong idea, but I don¡¯t need a male companion. Thank you!¡±


    At this point, Jiang Wenying also hinted at her desire to hang up the phone.


    ¡°Jiang, I¡¯m not calling to play with you. I just think that Jiang is attractive, and there will surely be many suitors at the banquet. I can be your shield for the time being. What do you think?¡±


    Lin Ran spoke again.


    This was Lin Ran¡¯s usual tactic. Once Jiang Wenying agreed, even if they had some contact, as long as the first step was taken, the subsequent second and third steps could be quickly implemented.


    He believed that his impression in front of Jiang Wenying should not be too bad, so she should agree.


    Lin Ran was confident and calculating as if he was waiting for Jiang Wenying¡¯s agreement.


    However, what Lin Ran did not expect was that when Jiang Wenying heard these words, she was almost driven to anger by his thick-skinned behavior.


    Suddenly, without choosing to chat with Lin Ran any further, Jiang Wenying replied coldly,


    ¡°I have nothing else to say, so I¡¯m hanging up!¡±


    Without waiting for Lin Ran¡¯s response, she hung up the phone and skillfully blocked his number.


    She then threw her phone on the desk and her mind involuntarily recalled the indifferent man, causing her gaze to gradually become dull.


    Originally, if the plot had followed its original course, Jiang Wenying might have agreed to Lin Ran¡¯s request.


    But the appearance of Lu Fei changed a series of events, causing Jiang Wenying¡¯s heart to be slightly unsettled.


    Will he come to the Su family banquet with Mu Ruoxue?


    What kind of scene will it be if they meet?


    The words Mu Ruoxue said on the phone, were they true or false?


    With these doubts, Jiang Wenying didn¡¯t have the heart to work anymore. For the first time ever, she left work early and began to pick out her dress for the Su family banquet.


    Perhaps she didn¡¯t even know why she attached so much importance to the Su family banquet and why she specifically went to pick out a dress for it.


    Meanwhile, Lin Ran on the other side was looking at Jiang Wenying¡¯s hung-up call in astonishment, completely puzzled.


    He only mentioned it casually, and according to Jiang Wenying¡¯s character, she would never refuse. But why did she react so strongly at this moment?


    For no reason, Lin Ran¡¯s impression in Jiang Wenying¡¯s heart became much worse.


    He couldn¡¯t even imagine if Jiang Wenying would give him a good face the next time they met.

 CH 31

    31. The Villain¡¯s follower who is even more villainous than the villain!


    The next day, Lu Fei arrived early at the Mu family villa.


    To his relief, that crazy woman, Liu Mengxiang, was not there. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble she would have caused.


    The Su family¡¯s foundation was in another province.


    It wasn¡¯t too far from Shanghai, only about three or four hours by car.


    Mu Ruoxue was dressed like a delicate little fairy, still with her two ponytails that made people¡¯s hearts flutter, swaying behind her.


    If one were to grab these two reins just like galloping a horse.


    It would be quite exciting!


    Cough cough


    It was early in the morning.


    Suddenly seeing My Ruoxue¡¯s appearance, such a strange thought popped into his mind.


    Fortunately¡­


    When Mu Ruoxue looked over, Lu Fei¡¯s gaze instantly recovered, and he calmly helped her open the car door.


    After getting into the Bentley, Lu Fei acted as the driver and drove towards the location of the Su family.


    ¡­


    In Tianjin City, the largest hotel is the Tianma Hotel.


    Today, it received the biggest order of the year.


    The Su family in Tianjin City was hosting a banquet here.


    It is said that just having a meal here costs no less than tens of thousands of yuan.


    In order to ensure the smooth running of the banquet, the Su family directly rented out the Tianma Hotel for three days, costing 25 million yuan.


    They even hired people to decorate the entrance and interior of the hotel.


    As soon as you enter the Tianma Hotel, you can see a large longevity peach hanging on the wall, with the character ¡°longevity¡± inscribed on it.


    For today¡¯s banquet, the Su family also invited all the star-rated chefs in the city to the Tianma Hotel to prepare the feast.


    Moreover, before the banquet, the Su family specially set up an exchange meeting to warm up the atmosphere.


    Starting from 8 a.m., people who came to congratulate were coming from all over the place.


    Local gentry, powerful officials, businessmen who had business dealings with the Su family, and even some entrepreneurs who wanted to cooperate with the Su family.


    All kinds of unfamiliar faces shuttled back and forth as if they were treating this place as a grand networking event.


    ¡­


    It was just past 11 a.m.


    A discreet Bentley parked at the entrance of the hotel, executing a swift drift.


    It wasn¡¯t intentional on Lu Fei¡¯s part but rather at the insistence of Mu Ruoxue, who wanted an unconventional entrance as they arrived at the hotel.


    It involved a beautiful drift right at the hotel entrance.


    The successful drift quickly attracted the attention of the crowd at the hotel entrance.


    Inside the hotel, a receptionist seemed to have seen Bentley¡¯s license plate early on.


    The receptionist¡¯s face did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead put on a respectful smile.


    Early this morning, the Su family¡¯s patriarch specifically instructed him to pay attention to a Bentley and even told him the license plate number.


    The purpose was to be careful in receiving the person who came out of the Bentley.


    Lu Fei and Mu Ruoxue got out of the car.


    Beautiful men and women always attract attention.


    Soon, many people passing by the hotel entrance cast curious glances at the two of them.


    The receptionist saw the guests and instinctively picked up the communicator to report it, then greeted them with a smile.


    ¡°Esteemed guests, this way please!¡±


    With Lu Fei and Mu Ruoxue, the receptionist respectfully led them to the exchange meeting.


    ¡°Master, the staff below reported that the Mu family¡¯s daughter has arrived, and she brought a man with her!¡±


    A butler-like person whispered to the Su family¡¯s patriarch.


    Inside the banquet hall, a middle-aged man with a smiling face and a slightly gentle demeanor held a glass, engaging in courteous exchanges with various guests.


    This person was the Su family¡¯s patriarch.


    After hearing that someone from the Mu family had arrived, he quickly stopped socializing and whispered to the butler beside him,


    ¡°Let the Old man sit, I¡¯ll go greet them!¡±


    Not long after, Su Wenbin, who had not yet left the hotel, saw Mu Ruoxue, who was dressed exquisitely, accompanied by a handsome and calm-looking man.


    ¡°Is it Ruoxue? Haven¡¯t seen you in a long time!¡±


    ¡°Who is this person next to you? Why didn¡¯t you introduce him to Uncle Su?¡±


    Mu Ruoxue put on a happy smile and said obediently,


    ¡°Hello, Uncle Su. I¡¯m here to attend the banquet on behalf of my father!¡±


    ¡°This is my follower, Lu Fei!¡±


    Standing next to Mu Ruoxue, Lu Fei nodded calmly toward Su Wenbin.


    ¡°Uncle Su, where is Grandpa Su? I want to personally give him a birthday gift. My father has repeatedly instructed me not to forget it!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue snatched the gift box from Lu Fei¡¯s arms and presented it as a treasure.


    Su Wenbin looked at Lu Fei, Mu Ruoxue¡¯s follower, and immediately sensed that this young man had an extraordinary temperament. How could he be just a mere lackey of the Mu family?


    Of course, he wouldn¡¯t ignore Lu Fei just because of Mu Ruoxue¡¯s words. On the contrary, he inspected him. With such a demeanor, he must be someone out of the ordinary.


    Moreover, where can you find a mere follower standing in the same position as a male companion?


    They were standing side by side.


    They were just missing holding hands!


    ¡°Mu, make sure to give the birthday gift to Grandpa Su, and it¡¯s best to let him open it and look. Patriarch Mu has instructed me that Grandpa Su will definitely like this birthday gift!¡±


    Lu Fei looked at Mu Ruoxue, but in fact, he was telling Su Wenbin.


    He had poisoned the birthday gift before coming, and just a touch of it would allow the highly latent poison to enter the body.


    Therefore, he kept giving Mu Ruoxue and Su Wenbin psychological hints, insisting that Grandpa Su must see the birthday gift.


    If everything went according to plan, Lin Ran would definitely be at the banquet and find an opportunity to trip up Grandpa Su.


    He would induce Grandpa Su¡¯s heart disease, then step forward to save him and gain the Su family¡¯s friendship.


    But Lu Fei had to ruin his plan, and he would witness Lin Ran¡¯s embarrassment firsthand.


    The poison he had used could not be undone by simply curing the heart disease.


    Only he could undo the poison, and he would enjoy watching the show when the time came!


    Hehe!

 CH 32

    32. What Does It Mean to Be Arrogantly Pretentious! Satisfying!¡±


    As Su Wenbin, the head of the Su family, personally welcomed them, Lu Fei and Mu Ruoxue attracted a lot of attention.


    Soon, Su Wenbin took Mu Ruoxue to congratulate the old man on his birthday.


    And Lu Fei, in order to avoid suspicion, naturally wouldn¡¯t follow.


    Soon, the time came.


    Su Wenbin hurried over, holding a beautiful woman with black hair, and walked onto the stage to announce the official start of the exchange meeting.


    The elegant piano music began to play.


    Everyone entered the exchange meeting, holding champagne and chatting with each other.


    Walking in the crowd, Lu Fei suddenly saw Jiang Wenying holding a glass of champagne alone, wearing a black tight-fitting dress, and standing in front of her was a young man.


    Although the man was boasting in front of Jiang Wenying, there was no hint of interest on her face. Instead, a subtle sense of impatience flashed in her eyes.


    She came with her elder brother, but as soon as they arrived at the banquet, his group of friends surrounded her.


    Their eyes were all shining as they looked at her, making her feel disgusted.


    Finally, she managed to break free, but then another person came to chat with her, and he happened to be the project manager of a project she was responsible for.


    In order to avoid causing a scene, she had to stand there and listen to him boast.


    As she listened to him, Jiang Wenying couldn¡¯t help but stare blankly at the busiest part of the room, as if looking for someone.


    ¡°Hey, we meet again!¡±


    Hearing a familiar voice, Jiang Wenying suddenly turned around and looked behind her.


    Perhaps she didn¡¯t even realize it herself, but after seeing Lu Fei¡¯s figure, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.


    ¡°This¡­what a coincidence, you¡¯re here too!¡±


    Jiang Wenying turned back, stuttering a bit in her response.


    After saying this, Jiang Wenying almost wanted to cover her mouth.


    What did I just say?


    I made it seem like I had known Lu Fei for a long time.


    Lu Fei actually came over because he wanted to find Lin Ran¡¯s whereabouts.


    According to the original work, Lin Ran had always been licking Jiang Wenying and followed her to the Su family banquet.


    Then, when Su Family¡¯s Old man fell ill, he stood beside Jiang Wenying, attracting the attention of everyone in the room and displaying his brilliance.


    Not only did he gain the friendship of the Su family, but he also changed Jiang Wenying¡¯s impression of him. Most importantly, he successfully entered the sight of the Jiang family.


    This is also one of the important reasons Lin Ran was able to capture Jiang Wenying¡¯s heart later on.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a coincidence.¡±


    Lu Fei said casually, then scanned around, but did not find any trace of Lin Ran.


    ¡°Would you like to have a drink and chat?¡±


    Since he couldn¡¯t find Lin Ran¡¯s whereabouts, he might as well stay by Jiang Wenying¡¯s side. After all, Lin Ran would definitely show up later.


    However, the man standing opposite Jiang Wenying suddenly frowned. Why did this guy suddenly appear and disrupt the prey he had chosen?


    Wu Yong looked at Lu Fei with contempt and said in a sarcastic tone, ¡°Jiang, where did this friend come from? I have important business to discuss with Jiang involving over a hundred million yuan. I hope you can catch up with Jiang later.¡±


    Wu Yong looked at Lu Fei from head to toe. He looked decent in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his eyes, he looked like a street vendor.


    Lu Fei looked at Wu Yong and suddenly felt strange.


    What is it?


    He wasn¡¯t the protagonist, was he?


    He couldn¡¯t even be considered a proper villain!


    He was just a lackey of the villain!


    Why did this protagonist treatment fall upon him?


    Of course, Lu Fei was not a narrow-minded person. Since the opportunity presented itself, he had to play along!


    Lu Fei looked at Wu Yong with a playful smile and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen someone like you in Shanghai before, dabbling in billions of funds. Don¡¯t pretend to be cool and scram!¡±


    Hearing Lu Fei¡¯s mockery, Wu Yong¡¯s face turned red with anger.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you either. Do you know about Shanghai¡¯s Zhengxin Group with a market value of over ten billion yuan? My dad is the chairman. Have you heard of it?¡± Wu Yong said, trying to intimidate Lu Fei.


    But he was disappointed.


    Lu Fei¡¯s face didn¡¯t even change when he heard the words ¡°Zhengxin Group¡±.


    He calmly said, ¡°Shanghai¡¯s Mu family, Have you heard of them?¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, I was still drinking tea at Mu patriarch¡¯s villa, and his lover personally poured it for me!¡±


    Suddenly, Wu Yong¡¯s heart sank, and his face turned pale, at the mention of the Mu family.


    The Mu family represents the pinnacle of power in Shanghai.


    Just the person¡¯s name can cast a shadow as large as a tree!


    Especially in Shanghai!


    It is unheard of for anyone to offend the Mu family and remain unscathed.


    Once Mu Changye of the Mu Family speaks, not to mention Zhengxin Group, even if four or five other companies were involved, he could easily crush them as he pleased.


    Not to mention that this man in front of him can enter and leave the Mu family villa so freely.


    Wu Yong never thought that this man would be so bold as to brag about his connection with the Mu family.


    Because if anyone from the Mu family finds out, this man will suffer an even more terrible fate!!!


    Moreover, Jiang Wenying, who was beside him, did not say much, so it must be true that Lu Fei¡¯s identity was impressive.


    Suddenly, Wu Yong lowered his head and apologized, saying,


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t recognize your status. Please forgive my ignorance.¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll leave now and won¡¯t bother you anymore!¡±


    Wu Yong left Jiang Wenying¡¯s side obediently and disappeared in front of Lu Fei.


    How satisfying!


    Just by drinking tea in Mu Changye¡¯s study, he could scare so many people.


    It felt good to show off like this.


    It was quite enjoyable!

 CH 33

    33: This wine, it seems like I¡¯ve drank from that glass before!


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Jiang Wenying¡¯s heart was suddenly stirred.


    This doesn¡¯t sound like something a follower would say!


    However, when she saw Wu Yong leaving with a dejected look, Jiang Wenying also looked extremely grateful toward Lu Fei.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome, he just walked right into trouble!¡±


    Lu Fei said casually.


    It seemed that in his eyes, a beautiful woman¡¯s gratitude was not worth mentioning.


    Seeing Lu Fei¡¯s casual attitude in his words, Jiang Wenying couldn¡¯t help but feel some strange emotions in her heart.


    Immediately, Jiang Wenying¡¯s attractive eyebrows raised, and she unclearly spoke,


    ¡°You speaking like that about your boss doesn¡¯t sound like something a follower could say!¡±


    Upon hearing Jiang Wenying¡¯s slightly threatening words, Lu Fei responded with an indifferent question, ¡°So what?¡±


    Jiang Wenying looked at Lu Fei¡¯s calm demeanor and said meaningfully, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that this will spread and the Mu family will come after you?¡±


    Lu Fei couldn¡¯t help but chuckle inwardly, immediately understanding Jiang Wenying¡¯s peculiar behavior.


    She had previously been like an icy female CEO, but now she seemed jealous like a little girl in love.


    Lu Fei was familiar with the original work and knew that Jiang Wenying was not someone who liked to gossip.


    On the contrary, she was actually a very lonely person, who had basically never had any friends¡­ no, it should be said that she had never had any true friends.


    Therefore, when Lin Ran used some pledges of love, sweet words, and some means, he completely won over Jiang Wenying.


    Lu Fei cooperatively said in a gentle voice, ¡°How could that be? As long as you don¡¯t say anything, that coward wouldn¡¯t dare to go to the Mu family to verify. I believe you won¡¯t speak carelessly!¡±


    Upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, Jiang Wenying was shocked, as if a storm had been stirred up in her heart.


    He¡­ trusts me?


    It seemed like no one had ever spoken to her like this before.


    Jiang Wenying looked at Lu Fei¡¯s dark eyes, and she could tell that there was no hint of insincerity or joking in his words.


    He¡­ really trusts me!


    ¡°Have a drink?¡±


    Seeing Jiang Wenying standing there in a daze, Lu Fei raised the glass of red wine in his hand and gestured toward her.


    Jiang Wenying hesitated, looking at the champagne in her hand that she had been holding for a long time but hadn¡¯t drunk.


    Lu Fei seemed to sense Jiang Wenying¡¯s hesitation and slowly approached her ear, smiling and saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, drink up, I¡¯m here!¡±


    Feeling the warmth lingering in her ear, a blush quickly rose to Jiang Wenying¡¯s face.


    She then forced herself to remain calm and said, ¡°I just don¡¯t like champagne.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Lu Fei raised an eyebrow, and he could tell that Jiang Wenying was being stubborn.


    Immediately, he took the champagne from Jiang Wenying¡¯s hand and handed her his own glass of red wine.


    Then, in Jiang Wenying¡¯s stunned gaze, he lightly clinked his glass with hers, which was originally his and then drank it all in one gulp.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Jiang Wenying didn¡¯t expect Lu Fei to do this, and she felt inexplicably surprised.


    ¡°What about me? You don¡¯t like champagne, but you can always drink red wine!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass me!¡±


    Lu Fei approached Jiang Wenying and said teasingly.


    ¡°Hmph, I am just thirsty, don¡¯t get any wrong ideas!¡±


    Jiang Wenying snorted but still drank the red wine that Lu Fei handed her.


    Although she explained with her words, it gave people an inexplicable feeling of trying to cover up something.


    ¡°Oh, by the way, I think I¡¯ve drank from this glass before. Do you mind?¡±


    Lu Fei looked at Jiang Wenying¡¯s stubborn expression and suddenly curled his lips, pretending as if he had just remembered.


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenying¡¯s face was instantly covered in blush.


    Even if you already knew, why did you have to say it out loud!


    I¡¯m not stupid!!


    As if the space had frozen at this moment, forgetting the piano music in the exchange meeting, she felt a bit flustered.


    Jiang Wenying knew it, but she didn¡¯t think about it too much.


    Now that Lu Fei deliberately brought it up.


    Does that mean she indirectly kissed Lu Fei?!


    Oh my god!


    What should she do?


    Should she warn him with words or slap him and scold him?


    Why didn¡¯t she resist or feel disgusted?


    Instead¡­she couldn¡¯t help but feel that it was quite interesting?


    ¡°I¡­¡±


    ¡°I have something to do, excuse me for a moment!¡±


    Not long after, she wanted to leave to calm down her mood.


    Seeing Lu Fei reaching out his hand, Jiang Wenying instinctively moved her body back.


    Unexpectedly, because she was too nervous, her high heels couldn¡¯t stand firm, and she fell backward.


    Just as she was about to fall to the ground,


    Lu Fei acted in time, holding Jiang Wenying¡¯s slender waist.


    Her whole body was pressed against his hand, and Lu Fei didn¡¯t even feel how heavy she was.


    ¡°Seriously? I was just trying to get your attention because you seemed lost in thought.¡±


    ¡°Let me tell you, I practically saved you from a fall, so don¡¯t misunderstand me!¡±


    Lu Fei looked at Jiang Wenying, earnestly shrugging off any sense of responsibility.


    ¡°You¡­ I won¡¯t misunderstand. Let go of me, I still have things to do!¡±


    Jiang Wenying felt that the current posture was too intimate, and she quickly struggled to get out of Lu Fei¡¯s embrace.


    Lu Fei suddenly felt that Jiang Wenying was much more fun than Mu Ruoxue, at least he could bully her a bit.


    Unlike Mu Ruoxue, who was like a little demon, giving him a headache.


    ¡°Hiss¡­¡±


    Jiang Wenying had just tried to stand up when she suddenly took a deep breath and felt a piercing pain in her ankle.


    ¡°Did you sprain your foot?¡±


    Lu Fei frowned and looked at Jiang Wenying, who was frowning and then asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±


    Jiang Wenying broke free from Lu Fei¡¯s hand, but the pain from her sprained foot was still unbearable for her.


    Before she could take a few steps, her ankle had visibly swollen, and she was limping as she walked.


    Sweat was already beading on her forehead, and every step was a struggle.

 CH 34

    34: Mu Ruoxue¡¯s unusual feeling!


    At the same time, at a corner of a dining table not far from Lu Fei.


    A handsome man with a gloomy expression is staring ahead.


    This person is Lin Ran, whom Lu Fei has been looking for for a long time.


    He finally found an opportunity to set up a small trick on Old Man Su¡¯s body, which could cause his heart disease to relapse earlier.


    Then he left and prepared to talk to Jiang Wenying to clear up some misunderstandings. But when he saw Jiang Wenying being hugged by Lu Fei, he was furious.


    What made him even more furious was that Jiang Wenying was twisting and turning on Lu Fei¡¯s body, as if two lovers were cuddling.


    Suddenly, he felt like his head was not just green, but everything he saw was green.


    ¡°Crunch¡­¡±


    Lin Ran crushed the wine glass in his hand.


    Next, he saw Jiang Wenying break free from Lu Fei and limp away.


    Suddenly, his eyes, which had turned red with anger, dissipated.


    He told himself that things might not be as he imagined, maybe Jiang Wenying was injured, which could explain her behavior.


    He hadn¡¯t forgotten that his best skill was medicine.


    Next¡­ it¡¯s my turn to perform!!!


    With this in mind, Lin Ran¡¯s terrifyingly ferocious face suddenly changed, he straightened out his wrinkled clothes, and a self-consciously handsome smile appeared on his lips as he walked over.


    ¡°Jiang, are you injured?¡±


    Lin Ran said with a worried expression.


    Lu Fei was speechless.


    Is she injured? Can¡¯t you see it yourself? Why ask others and make them feel uncomfortable!


    As soon as Lin Ran asked this question, Jiang Wenying felt a sense of alienation.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see it?¡±


    Faced with Jiang Wenying¡¯s question, Lin Ran felt embarrassed, but he didn¡¯t care about losing face for such a beautiful woman.


    Ignoring the awkward situation, Lin Ran showed concern and said, ¡°Jiang, if you trust me, I have some medical skills. In less than ten minutes, I can make your foot recover!¡±


    At this point, Lin Ran¡¯s chest involuntarily puffed up.


    His most proud skill was his medical skills, which were the foundation of his honor. If he could show off his skills and make a name for himself, his network would continue to grow.


    At this moment, Mu Ruoxue appeared after delivering the gift and entered the exchange meeting.


    When she saw Lu Fei, her face changed and she walked over with a fierce momentum.


    ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this the talented woman of the Jiang family, Jiang Wenying!¡±


    ¡°Wow, sister is so beautiful, no wonder she¡¯s so good at seducing people. It hasn¡¯t been long and she¡¯s already seduced another one!¡±


    Jiang Wenying¡¯s face turned cold when she heard Mu Ruoxue¡¯s sarcastic words, but she still spoke politely, ¡°Mu, I just accidentally injured my foot. You¡¯re thinking too much!¡±


    Seeing the woman he liked being bullied, Lin Ran knew he had to stand up for her.


    He spoke up, ¡°Mu Ruoxue, stop talking nonsense. It was clearly your follower who took advantage of Jiang!¡±


    ¡°Girl, Don¡¯t trouble me or I¡­¡±


    Lin Ran didn¡¯t finish his sentence, knowing that he needed to show himself as a gentleman at this moment. He couldn¡¯t let Jiang Wenying have a bad impression of him.


    ¡°Let me treat Jiang. In just ten minutes, I can make her recover and move normally!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue heard that Lin Ran still wanted to be alone with Jiang Wenying, and her eyebrows furrowed. She snorted and said coquettishly,


    ¡°Hmph, Lu Fei didn¡¯t take advantage of anything. You don¡¯t know that soon Lu Fei will marry Jiang Wenying and make it impossible for you, a toad, to eat swan meat!¡±


    ¡°My father promised me!¡±


    Upon hearing Mu Ruoxue¡¯s words, especially the last sentence, Lin Ran was immediately angered. His face turned red, his nose became thick, and his chest felt like it was about to explode like a bomb.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re talking nonsense, Mu Ruoxue, you¡¯re just a crazy woman!¡±


    Seeing Lin Ran being so angry, Mu Ruoxue smiled with satisfaction. Even when Lin Ran called her a crazy woman, she still smiled and looked at him.


    At this moment, Lu Fei stood up. He couldn¡¯t let Mu Ruoxue be insulted in front of so many people. If this matter was heard by Mu Changye, he would be blamed.


    ¡°Lin Ran, you need to be aware of your own identity. She is the daughter of the Mu family¡¯s head. Do you think you can just insult her like that?


    Do you want your Lin family to fall apart?


    Do you want me to tell the family head right now?!¡±


    Lin Ran was left speechless by a single sentence from Lu Fei, and he couldn¡¯t even come up with a retort for a while.


    His ugly expression was as if he had eaten a dead fly.


    Mu Changye¡¯s name was brought out, Lin Ran had no way to refute Lu Fei¡¯s words.


    Unless he really wanted to die!!


    As Lu Fei looked at Lin Ran¡¯s frustrated expression, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.


    The feeling of slapping the protagonist¡¯s face was much more enjoyable than pretending to be cool!


    Is this the feeling of slapping someone in the face?


    I think I¡¯ve figured it out!


    And I don¡¯t even have to take the blame myself!


    Lin Ran would hate Mu Changye.


    But what does it have to do with me, Lu Fei?


    Feels great!!


    ¡ª-


    Meanwhile, Mu Ruoxue was slightly stunned.


    She saw Lu Fei standing up to defend her as soon as he saw the situation, and her beautiful eyes flickered.


    She couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sweet in her heart.


    Especially¡­


    Seeing Lin Ran being silenced by her own follower, she actually felt a sense of pleasure, instead of being angry that Lin Ran was being attacked.


    Mu Ruoxue didn¡¯t know what was happening to her.


    She felt a slight sense of satisfaction!!


    Didn¡¯t she like Lin Ran?


    What¡¯s going on¡­

 CH 35

    35: Take off my shoes!


    Seeing the terrible expression on Lin Ran¡¯s face, Lu Fei¡¯s mood improved a lot.


    Immediately, he looked at Mu Ruoxue and said, ¡°Stay away from him. Your father warned me not to let you get involved with him!¡±


    When Lu Fei said this, there was no intention of lowering his voice.


    The disgust in his words, as if staying away from garbage, was self-evident.


    This immediately made Lin Ran¡¯s face even darker, who had already turned ugly.


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t dare to let Mu Ruoxue stay alone with Lin Ran, as he hadn¡¯t forgotten that this guy was best at medical skills.


    If this guy with a small heart did something to Mu Ruoxue, Lu Fei wouldn¡¯t be able to prevent it.


    Mu Ruoxue didn¡¯t think too much about it either. Seeing Lin Ran eating a loss in front of her, she couldn¡¯t help feeling happy.


    Moreover, Lu Fei had brought up Mu Changye to suppress her, so she could only obey.


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    Supporting Jiang Wenying, Lu Fei and the two gradually moved away from there.


    Only Lin Ran was left alone, with a terrible expression on his face, standing in place.


    On the second floor, one could see most of the scenery downstairs.


    Mu Ruoxue¡¯s small mouth had pouted so much that it could hang an oil pot.


    She didn¡¯t know why, but after seeing Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying¡¯s close physical contact, she felt a hint of sourness in her heart.


    Was it really a sour feeling?


    She didn¡¯t know,


    Just felt a little unhappy.


    ¡°Lu Fei, Lin Ran is not here anymore, why don¡¯t you let go?¡±


    ¡°Is Jiang Wenying really that soft? [1] I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue spoke up with a mixture of expression and tone.


    This made Jiang Wenying, who was leaning on Lu Fei¡¯s body, blush.


    She wanted to break free, but the injury on her foot made her have to continue leaning on Lu Fei¡¯s body.


    Lu Fei had a helpless expression, wondering what this little troublemaker was up to now.


    Although Jiang Wenying¡¯s body felt very soft¡­ was he the kind of person who took advantage of others?


    He was clearly just helping others, wasn¡¯t he?


    Lu Fei replied impatiently, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that she¡¯s injured and it¡¯s inconvenient?¡±


    Lu Fei found a spot by the side and sat down.


    Meanwhile, Lin Ran downstairs caught a glimpse of Lu Fei slowly sitting down while holding onto Jiang Wenying¡¯s waist.


    At that moment, he felt the anger in his chest almost exploding.


    Wanting to kill with a glance, this was beyond infuriating!


    At this moment, Lin Ran had already put Lu Fei on his hit list.


    As Lu Fei helped Jiang Wenying sit down, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind.


    He looked down and saw Lin Ran¡¯s once handsome face turn into that of a fierce demon, glaring at him with anger.


    Lu Fei was speechless about this.


    He just wanted to find a convenient spot to observe the situation below, but he didn¡¯t expect to trigger Lin Ran again.


    Seeing the cold killing intent in Lin Ran¡¯s eyes, Lu Fei knew he was probably on Lin Ran¡¯s hit list.


    Lu Fei felt very wronged. He didn¡¯t mean to provoke Lin Ran!


    However, Lu Fei didn¡¯t care about Lin Ran¡¯s killing intent. For others, being on the protagonist¡¯s hit list was basically a death sentence.


    But in front of Lu Fei, who had the villain¡¯s halo, strong martial arts skills, and even knowledge of the plot, he wasn¡¯t worried!


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t continue staring at Lin Ran¡¯s ugly face as if he had eaten a dead fly, but instead, looked at Mu Ruoxue and said,


    ¡°Stay here and don¡¯t run around. I¡¯ll show you a good show later!¡±


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t force Mu Ruoxue to sit here but instead used a good show to attract her and prevent her from running around.


    He was already on Lin Ran¡¯s hit list, so if he acted crazy and retaliated against Lu Fei by harming Mu Ruoxue, it would be troublesome!


    Therefore, Lu Fei decided to take precautions and cut off this possibility.


    As expected, when Mu Ruoxue heard Lu Fei say that he would show her a good show later, her eyes, which were previously restless, suddenly lit up with interest.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Lu Fei didn¡¯t explain much and simply replied, ¡°Just stay here, it¡¯s true.¡±


    After getting Lu Fei¡¯s assurance, Mu Ruoxue suddenly became proud again.


    ¡°Hmph, since you¡¯re begging me like this, I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡±


    Lu Fei was already used to Mu Ruoxue¡¯s sudden changes in attitude.


    Without saying much, Lu Fei turned to Jiang Wenying and asked, ¡°Do you trust me?¡±


    Looking at Lu Fei¡¯s dark eyes, Jiang Wenying suddenly remembered what he had said earlier when they were downstairs, ¡°I trust you.¡±


    Jiang Wenying blurted out, ¡°I trust you!¡±


    Suddenly realizing what she had said, Jiang Wenying¡¯s eyes shifted strangely away from Lu Fei¡¯s bright gaze and looked elsewhere.


    Lu Fei stood up and walked towards Jiang Wenying, then knelt down on one knee in front of her.


    He looked up at Jiang Wenying and said, ¡°Take off your shoes!¡±


    His voice was not loud, but it hit Jiang Wenying¡¯s heart like a bullet, making her cheeks blush with shyness.


    ???¡ï?(???)?¡ï???

 CH 36

    36: Tsk tsk! It¡¯s still the first time, huh!


    Being this old and having the opposite sex so straightforwardly ask to take off their shoes, it¡¯s quite a first.


    Moreover, this is the second floor, a public place¡­


    Jiang Wenying forced herself to appear indifferent and said, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°What do I mean?¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t take off your shoes, how can I treat your feet?¡±


    Now it¡¯s Lu Fei¡¯s turn to look at Jiang Wenying speechlessly. What¡¯s wrong with this woman? She usually looks quite shrewd.


    Why does she act stupid sometimes?


    Suddenly understanding that she had misunderstood Lu Fei¡¯s meaning, Jiang Wenying started being evasive.


    ¡°Forget it. After the banquet is over, I¡¯ll go to the hospital and get checked myself!¡±


    Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wenying, saying, ¡°The banquet is about to start, and all the guests will have to go downstairs to toast. Moving around is inevitable. Are you sure you can move around easily like this?¡±


    Jiang Wenying¡¯s face showed some hesitation. Yes, what Lu Fei said seemed to be right.


    It was not convenient for her to move around like this.


    ¡°But, can you¡­ can you really treat it?¡± Jiang Wenying¡¯s words still had some resistance.


    After all, this was a public place. It was too embarrassing to be treated for an ankle sprain by someone of the opposite sex!


    Lu Fei tilted his head and looked at Jiang Wenying helplessly. ¡°That¡¯s why I asked if you believe me or not!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenying fell silent for a moment.


    But after a while, perhaps her strong personality came into play, and she directly agreed.


    ¡°I believe you!¡±


    Having said that, Jiang Wenying let out a sigh and then bent down to untie the high-heeled shoelace that was tied around her right foot.


    Today at the Su family banquet, Jiang Wenying deliberately wore a black body-hugging dress, paired with a slightly restrained and dignified semi-transparent flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of strapped black high heels.


    It showcased her strong female personality while exuding the irresistible charm of a woman.


    This outfit was probably something only Jiang Wenying could pull off.


    As she untied the ribbon tied around her ankle, the high heels naturally slipped off Jiang Wenying¡¯s nimble jade feet.


    Through the stockings, one could vaguely see a few worm-sized blue veins slightly protruding on the surface of Jiang Wenying¡¯s feet.


    Rather than detracting from the beauty of her jade feet, it added a touch of charm.


    The nimble jade feet emerged from the high heels and shyly revealed themselves in the air.


    As he caressed the delicate jade feet, Lu Fei felt the smoothness in his hands.


    If these small feet were exposed outside, they would surely drive many men crazy!


    Truly a female lead, her feet were only slightly larger than Mu Ruoxue¡¯s delicate jade feet, but they gave off a feeling of just the right size, about the size of Lu Fei¡¯s palm.


    Mu Ruoxue¡¯s small feet, which Lu Fei had never touched, were about half the size of Lu Fei¡¯s palm from his visual estimation.


    How should he put it?


    Lu Fei felt that each had its own merits!


    Then, without any unusual expression in his eyes, Lu Fei calmly lifted Jiang Wenying¡¯s sole and placed it on his own lap.


    Jiang Wenying only felt the warm palm of his hand touch her sole for two or three seconds before it was placed slightly above Lu Fei¡¯s knee.


    Looking at the ankle which was naturally flawless and as pure as jade, he noticed the abnormal swelling around her ankle, which marred its beauty.


    Lu Fei reached out his left hand and gently stroked the injured ankle.


    He was confident that he could treat Jiang Wenying¡¯s sprain, relying on the poison medical skills he obtained from the system.


    Not to mention just promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, even if her entire leg was paralyzed, as long as the basic muscle functions were intact, Lu Fei was confident he could fully restore it to normal.


    Therefore, treating a sprain was a piece of cake for Lu Fei.


    It wouldn¡¯t take any effort at all.


    Feeling an unusual itch rising on her foot, Jiang Wenying seemed to be very sensitive.


    It was as if every inch of skin that Lu Fei touched had small ants crawling on it.


    After all, Jiang Wenying had never had intimate skin contact with the opposite sex before.


    During social events, she would at most shake hands with the opposite sex to express pleasant cooperation, and there was no extra physical contact beyond that.


    Let alone letting the opposite sex touch her feet.


    Suddenly, when Lu Fei¡¯s big hand covered her ankle, the painful stimulation combined with the opposite sex¡¯s touch almost made Jiang Wenying subconsciously scream.


    But fortunately, she reacted in time and stopped the strange sound. If she had made such a strange sound in public, she would have been so embarrassed that she would have wanted to leave immediately.


    At this moment, Mu Ruoxue, who was sitting on the side, suddenly looked unhappy and angrily shouted,


    ¡°Lu Fei, you are too bad. Is this your idea of a good show?¡±


    Mu Ruoxue saw the intimate interaction between Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying, and an inexplicable sense of dissatisfaction surged from the bottom of her heart.


    Lu Fei, who had not yet had the chance to use his poison medical skills to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, heard Mu Ruoxue¡¯s voice and felt speechless.


    He was in the middle of treating someone, didn¡¯t this little troublemaker see that?


    Why was she trying to cause trouble?


    What on earth was going on in her head?


    Lu Fei responded irritably,


    ¡°I¡¯m treating her foot. Can¡¯t you see that? The show hasn¡¯t even started yet. Why are you in such a hurry?¡±

 CH 37

    37: Damn it! Feels like my head just turned green again!


    After saying that, Lu Fei didn¡¯t bother to pay any more attention to Mu Ruoxue and instead focused back on Jiang Wenying.


    ¡°It might be a bit painful or itchy, but bear with it!¡±


    Lu Fei¡¯s tone carried a hint of admonition, and his gaze showed no trace of excitement, only a plain expression.


    As if the exquisite masterpiece in front of him was nothing more than an ordinary craft.


    Then, Lu Fei placed his palm over Jiang Wenying¡¯s swollen ankle and activated his poison medical skills.


    He began to promote blood circulation and remove stasis, clearing the blocked blood and restoring the circulation.


    The most crucial step was to repair the damaged tendons.


    This would cause a slight tingling sensation.


    Feeling the warmth of Lu Fei¡¯s palm, gently pressing and massaging her swollen ankle, Jiang Wenying couldn¡¯t help but tense up!


    This¡­


    This is too strange!


    If she had known, she would have endured the pain.


    It¡¯s so embarrassing!


    Especially in such a public setting!


    Before she could think further, a slight tingling sensation followed, causing Jiang Wenying¡¯s breathing to involuntarily intensify, accompanied by a piercing pain.


    And¡­ there was also a strange sensation mixed in.


    So strange!


    Something she had never experienced before!


    Visibly, Jiang Wenying¡¯s forcibly composed face suddenly flushed even more than before, spreading to her earlobes.


    She looked like a stunning and enchanting flower.


    During the treatment process, Lu Fei unintentionally touched Jiang Wenying¡¯s sole.


    Suddenly, Jiang Wenying felt an electric shock-like sensation throughout her body, instinctively wanting to retract her foot.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move, your ankle tendons are damaged and haven¡¯t fully recovered yet. Do you want to limp for the next three days?¡±


    Lu Fei saw Jiang Wenying withdraw her jade feet from his palm and looked up at her, casually remarking.


    It seemed like it wasn¡¯t him who had just made a small gesture.


    The blush on Jiang Wenying¡¯s face hadn¡¯t completely subsided. After hesitating for a moment upon hearing Lu Fei¡¯s words, she carefully extended her jade-like foot and placed it back on Lu Fei¡¯s knee.


    Seeing Jiang Wenying obediently putting her foot back where it was, Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction.


    Patients should listen to the doctor¡¯s advice, otherwise, how can they be treated?


    He had a bit of compulsive behavior and once he started something, he had to see it through, or else he would feel uncomfortable.


    So, fortunately, Jiang Wenying placed her foot back, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have been good if he had forcefully treated her¡­


    At this moment, Lin Ran, who was downstairs, observed Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying¡¯s actions clearly.


    His designated woman actually took off her high heels in front of another man and placed her foot in Lu Fei¡¯s hands to play with?


    Suddenly, Lin Ran felt that greenery[1] growing uncontrollably above his head.


    His expression was no longer as unsightly as if he had eaten a dead fly.


    It felt as if someone had trampled on his face three or four times, then fed him a mouthful of shit, and finally asked him if it tasted good.


    With every breath he exhaled, Lin Ran felt his anger contained within it.


    He was afraid that if he didn¡¯t release his anger, he would spit blood right here from being infuriated!


    However, Lin Ran knew that Jiang Wenying wouldn¡¯t be that kind of woman.


    That man named Lu Fei must have deceived Jiang Wenying with sweet words, claiming that he could treat her sprained ankle, but in reality, he was taking advantage of her and trying to get close to her.


    Even though Lin Ran had guessed his self-proclaimed truth, his face couldn¡¯t help but turn green.


    Because she was his designated woman, he had long considered Jiang Wenying as his own, yet her foot, which he himself had never touched, was now being touched by another man.


    This was simply despicable!!!


    Lin Ran swore he wouldn¡¯t be human if he didn¡¯t kill Lu Fei!!!


    ¡­


    Shortly after, Jiang Wenying felt the tingling sensation subside, and her ankle seemed to be less painful.


    Unconsciously, she twisted her ankle.


    Lu Fei saw Jiang Wenying¡¯s jade-like foot twisting in his hand, resembling a little mischief, and a hint of a smile flashed across his lips.


    He knew the sprain was healed!


    ¡°Snap!¡±


    A soft sound.


    Lu Fei lightly patted Jiang Wenying¡¯s snow-white foot.


    ¡°Alright, see if you have any other discomfort.¡±


    Jiang Wenying blushed again when Lu Fei patted her foot, lightly biting her lip.


    She didn¡¯t say anything, just pulled her foot back and rubbed it in her own hands.


    In Lu Fei¡¯s eyes, Jiang Wenying never saw a trace of evil intentions. His gaze was clear as if he was simply dealing with an ordinary matter.


    With the matter resolved, a sense of relief washed over both of them.


    To Jiang Wenying, being in Lu Fei¡¯s presence gave her this feeling.


    This feeling made her involuntarily relax and want to immerse herself in it.


    Feeling that her ankle truly had no abnormalities, Jiang Wenying¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Fei.


    Who would have expected a follower of the Mu family¡¯s young lady to have such skills? Was he really just a follower?


    Jiang Wenying bent down to put her high heels back on her petite feet, then looked at Lu Fei and expressed her gratitude,


    ¡°Thank you so much!¡±


    Faced with Jiang Wenying¡¯s gratitude, Lu Fei just waved his hand, showing that he didn¡¯t care.


    ¡°It¡¯s just helping someone out, no need to think too much about it!¡±


    ???¡ï?(???)?¡ï???

    38: The vulgar pretense in the novel!


    Just as Mu Ruoxue couldn¡¯t bear watching the flirtatious exchange between Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying any longer, the elegant piano music suddenly came to an end during the gathering.


    Su Wenbin, the head of the Su family, stood in the middle of the stage, holding his wife¡¯s hand.


    With a microphone in hand, he loudly announced,


    ¡°Thank you all for coming to the Su family banquet!¡±


    ¡°Now, on behalf of my father, I declare the banquet official start of the banquet!¡±


    ¡°Please take your seats, esteemed guests!¡±


    At the same time, many people moving through the crowd quickly found their seats, while those with higher status took their places at the guest of honor tables.


    Simultaneously, waitresses wearing cheongsams and holding trays emerged from all sides, beginning to serve dishes.


    ¡°Lu Fei, you better not be deceiving me. You said there would be something exciting, and now they¡¯re serving the meal!¡±


    Mu Ruoxue, watching the banquet begin, suddenly felt that something was off. She stared at Lu Fei, full of suspicion.


    With a pout, tears welled up in Mu Ruoxue¡¯s eyes as she looked at Lu Fei fiercely. If someone didn¡¯t know any better, they would think that Lu Fei had done something to her.


    Seeing Mu Ruoxue starting to act like a demon again, Lu Fei suddenly had a headache.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it should be starting soon!¡±


    Lu Fei looked down and saw an elderly man with silver hair slowly walking out, supported by Su Wenbin, the head of the Su family.


    If Lu Fei wasn¡¯t mistaken, this should be the old master of the Su family.


    And now would be the perfect time for Lin Ran to show off his arrogance.


    Because it was only now, when the elderly master of the banquet came out to express his gratitude, that there would be a crowd of people for Lin Ran to impress.


    Just as the old master Su was happily speaking on stage,


    Suddenly!


    He felt a dull pain in his chest.


    Unable to catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.


    It happened almost without warning!


    Now everything was in chaos.


    The Su family¡¯s bodyguards quickly surrounded the fallen old master to prevent any further accidents.


    Many security guards also stepped forward to maintain order.


    Su Wenbin, looking at the old master who suddenly collapsed, panicked and shouted,


    ¡°Someone, bring Old Zhang over here!¡±


    Upon hearing Su Wenbin¡¯s words, a smart bodyguard quickly rushed out, presumably to fetch Old Zhang.


    All the guests gathered outside, and engaged in a chaotic discussion.


    ¡°What happened to the old master of the Su family?¡±


    ¡°I have no idea. He was perfectly fine just a moment ago, and then suddenly collapsed!¡±


    ¡°I have a vague understanding. It seems he has a congenital heart condition. He suffered a lot when he was young, and even now he relies on medication to sustain his life. But now¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, poor old master of the Su family. He used to be a righteous person and built up the vast Su family estate!¡±


    The guests sat in a group, discussing one thing after another.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, an elderly man who appeared to be in his seventies or eighties but was actually close to ninety was studying a herb in his room.


    Su Wenbin had invited him to attend the banquet, but due to his dedication to medicine, he declined the invitation in order to focus on researching the medicinal properties of the herb at home.


    ¡°Bang!¡±


    A man burst into Zhang Lao¡¯s courtyard.


    Without a word, he hurriedly dragged Old Zhang into a car.


    Confused, Old Zhang struggled.


    ¡°Are you people from the Su family?¡±


    ¡°Put me down quickly! I am the one who treats the heart condition of your old master from the Su family. What are you doing?¡±


    It wasn¡¯t until they got in the car that one of the subordinates started explaining today¡¯s circumstances to Old Zhang.


    Within less than twenty minutes of back and forth,


    Old Zhang was brought by a group of people.


    They arrived at the venue of the banquet at Tianma Hotel.


    When he saw the old master of the Su family lying on the ground, gasping for breath, Old Zhang¡¯s expression tightened.


    Without hesitation, he put down his medicine box and took out a pulse pad from it.


    ¡°Old Zhang, you must save my father. The Su family will surely give you a satisfactory reward!¡±


    Su Wenbin, his face full of anxiety, implored with deep concern in his eyes.


    ¡°Let me take a look first!¡±


    Old Zhang approached and examined the old master of the Su family¡¯s eyes, then took his pulse.


    His expression became somewhat solemn. Then, he took out a stethoscope from the box and listened carefully.


    After a considerable amount of time, Zhang Lao looked at Su Wenbin with a furrowed brow and said, ¡°Patriarch Su, you need to prepare yourself. In my experience, it will be difficult for the old master of the Su family to overcome this hurdle.¡±


    ¡°His heart has always been weak, and today it seems to have been influenced by some factor, causing his heart to be overwhelmed. Coupled with his old age, I estimate¡­¡±


    Old Zhang shook his head with a serious expression.


    This scene immediately weighed heavily on Su Wenbin¡¯s heart, and a sense of sadness appeared in his eyes.


    Just as Su Wenbin¡¯s eyes revealed grief.


    Lin Ran stepped forward. His voice wasn¡¯t loud, but most people present could hear him clearly,


    ¡°Patriarch Su, have you forgotten about me? If you believe in me, I can restore the old master of the Su family within half an hour and cure his heart condition!¡±


    When Lin Ran¡¯s words rang out,


    They immediately stirred up commotion throughout the venue.


    Especially when people saw Lin Ran¡¯s youthful face, it evoked more laughter and disdain from the crowd.
