The Villain Is A Scheming Boss 18

Lan Yue’s words were a bit too informative.

First of all, the relationship between Lan Yue and Ji Zixuan or the Ji Group was definitely not very friendly. Their bad relationship had reached the point where he needed to kidnap people and make trouble.

Secondly, Lan Yue was also not as friendly to Ji Chen as he had actually shown that day. Moreover, the original owner didn’t seem to have been just a simple worker when he was working for the Liyang group. He and Lan Yue must have cooperated secretly and agreed to deal with Ji Chen or the Fengming Group, but they suddenly quit midway for some reason.

As for the last sentence…he couldn’t tell whether it was Lan Yue’s casual ridicule or……… there was some kind of ambiguous relationship going on between the original owner and him.

“You were the one that sent men to kill me and are also responsible for the fire at my house burnt that day?” Gu Xiyu did not answer Lan Yue’s question.

Lan Yue shrugged his shoulders. He stared at Gu Xiyu with cold smiling eyes and said: “Xi Yu, you know my request is very simple. I just want to get back the thing that you stole from me.”

He was probably talking about that USB disk.

Gu Xiyu asked back: “Let’s say I give it to you, won’t you kill me because I already know your secret?”

Lan Yue squinted his eyes: “You should have expected that when you betrayed me and the company, right?”

Gu Xiyu came to a realization: “So about my father’s company going bankrupt….you were behind that too.”

Some automatic responses set by the system were suddenly triggered and things related to the original owner and Lan Yue poppes up.

[Lan Yue is a someone who loves beauty. He likes both men and women and after some nights of pleasure, he kicks them out of his life. But, surprisingly, he really liked the original owner. The original cannon fodder naturally looked outstanding and Lan Yue accidentally caught a glimpse of his photo on his resume. Then, he made an exception and let him enter the company.]

[Compared with others, the original owner’s working ability was somewhat lacking. So he had to work overtime until late at night to complete the work, giving Lan Yue, who also had to work till late because of his busy schedule, the opportunities to get closer with him. The original owner only liked Fu Nian but due to his cowardly nature and the extreme pressure from Lan Yue, who was his boss, he could only pull some small tricks to prevent Lan Yue from succeeding in his plans.]

[Things went on like that until Lan Yue gave the original owner some work one day during overtime. When the original body went to Lan Yue’s office to deliver him the documents, he accidentally discovered his plan with Fu Nian of the Fu family to deal with Ji Chen and Fengming. In order to avoid getting silenced for knowing Lan Yue’s secret, as well as his fondness to Fu Nian, he chose to stand on the same line as Lan Yue, occasionally using his father’s company to help Lan Yue in his plans.]

[Until one day, the original owner accidentally discovered that the cunning Lan Yue was not only planning to deal with Ji Chen, but also Fu Nian, who was cooperating with him. The original owner was worried that Fu Nian would be harmed because of this, so he pretended to compromise with Lan Yue in fulfilling his sexual desires. However, he drugged Lan Yue the moment he relaxed his vigilance, causing him to fall unconscious. Lan Yue didn’t expect that the little beauty who usually looked very timid and obedient, and was always grateful for his support, would one day scheme against him. He had almost believed and loved….]

[The original owner used this opportunity to copy the evidence, plans, and materials in Lan Yue’s hands. He then deleted all the original files and fled from the company. He wanted to give those things to Fu Nian, but Fu Nian was abroad. Lan Yue woke up and started looking for him with all his resources so he couldn’t even leave the country. In the end, Lan Yue’s people found him and killed him before he could give the things to Fu Nian. ]

Gu Xiyu suddenly felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind him. Although his mind was on the content of the panel, his body still subconsciously moved to the side.

The huge man who had been lying near him had recovered. After avoiding the attack, Gu Xiyu took the time to glance in Lan Yue’s direction, then turned around and easily blocked the attack.

Lan Yue stopped tapping his hand on the table. His eyes looking at the person in front of him gradually became sharp.

His movements were as proficient as a thug who has been fighting for many years. It seemed so skilled that he couldn’t see any flaws. Lan Yue couldn’t see the cowardice and timidity in that person’s body like before and there was a kind of arrogant self-confidence under those unwavering eyes.

Lan Yue felt that he had loved this person for real but he could never make this person love him back.

“You look very different from before.”

Gu Xiyu glanced at the huge foreigner who had completely collapsed under his feet and replied: “People are meant to change.”

Lan Yue laughed out loud as if he had heard something interesting: “I almost thought that the just right now was the real you.”

Gu Xiyu calculated the time in his heart and guessed that Ji Chen and the others were almost there: “You don’t have to be nervous. If I really wanted to betray you and leak the information to Ji Chen, do you think you would be sitting here safely?”

Lan Yue didn’t reply.

Gu Xiyu continued: “I’m still carrying Ji Chen’s tracker, he will find us in about five minutes.”

“What do you mean?” Lan Yue asked.

After several seconds of silence in the cabin, a man’s painful cry suddenly rang out.

Gu Xiyu’s black boots stomped heavily on the back of that man’s hand. One could even hear the sound of that man’s hand bones breaking. The small knife that the man had grasped in his palm for a sneak attack fell to the side. He was then kicked by Gu Xiyu’s other leg.

“My purpose is the same as yours.”

Gu Xiyu retracted his gaze from the man at his feet. He did not move his one leg but took a step closer in the direction of Lan Yue with the other.

“So let’s continue to work as partners.”

————–

When Ji Chen and Ji Zixuan finally arrived at that location, only Gu Xiyu and Cheng Qianqian were left in the room.

Gu Xiyu was sitting with his back on the wooden wall, one of his legs bent slightly. He saw them coming in and glanced at them calmly. Cheng Qianqian was lying not far from him, the blindfold on her face had been removed but she was still unconscious.

Ji Zixuan was obviously relieved.

He lifted her up and accidentally noticed a strawberry hairpin hidden in her hair. Under the hairclip was a miniature tracker the size of a fingernail.

This should be Gu Xiyu’s masterpiece.

Gu Xiyu said: “I woke up and beat up the people in the room until they fled. I don’t know their identities but you were their target. They mistook me for you when I was with her.”

Ji Zixuan was startled, and he gave an earnest thank you.

When Gu Xiyu finished speaking, Ji Chen, who hadn’t spoken much since entering the door, walked up to him, looked down at him for a while, and then faintly threw two words: “Let’s go.”

There was no joy on his face after finding someone nor the irritability that should have been there for Gu Xiyu causing him trouble. He seemed cold and in a not-so-good mood instead. Gu Xiyu was not good at analyzing other people’s emotions, so he didn’t notice. He simply got in the car to leave this place with Ji Chen.

It was impossible to continue relaxing after such an incident so Ji Chen bought a plane ticket and took a long-distance flight back to China with him the next day.

“Drive to the hospital.” Ji Chen said to his driver after getting in the car at the airport.

Gu Xiyu, who was initially feeling a little sleepy, became energetic and asked him: “Are you feeling sick?”

Although Ji Chen was not in a good mood, he still answered: “I was injured before and I go for re examination every once in a while.”

“If you don’t want to follow, I can ask the driver to take you back first.”

Gu Xiyu had just fastened his seat belt when he heard him say this. He pursed his mouth and unfastened the seat belt: “Okay, you go by yourself.”

Ji Chen didn’t let him take the suitcase and drove the car away directly after Gu Xiyu got out of the car.

Gu Xiyu watched the car getting smaller and the automatic notification from the system suddenly rang out in his mind.

[The target’s risk value is +10. The current risk value is 55.]

Gu Xiyu: “…”

What risk value, this obviously meant Ji Chen was unhappy.

He thought for a whole day but couldn’t figure out why Ji Chen was unhappy so he called the system to have a talk about it.

As a result, the system’s reply was: [?]

Gu Xiyu looked at the question mark and instantly lost interest in chatting: “Forget it.”

He was taken back to the main house of the Ji family.

“Fifth Young Master will live here these days, so I brought you here.” The driver explained to him.

Ji Chen doesn’t live in the big house of the Ji family now. All his things were taken to the small courtyard next to it. The courtyard was quiet and there were no servants. When he entered, only the old butler he had seen before was cleaning the table.

The old butler was also a little surprised to see him come back: “Didn’t you guys say you will be back next week?”

Gu Xiyu explained to him about the accident in Country F and the old butler was full of pity: “You should choose a good day to enjoy next time.”

“Where is the young master?”

“He said he was going to the hospital.”

As soon as he heard the word hospital, the old butler understood everything. He continued his work, saying: “He suffered a very serious injury more than two years ago, especially on his leg. He had to be in a wheelchair and couldn’t walk at that time. Even doctors thought that he will have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life but he refused to surrender to his fate. He clenched his teeth and insisted on rehabilitation, enduring the pain. He really worked hard and finally recovered.”

“But his hands and legs had been injured seriously so the doctor still asks him to go back for regular check up to confirm the situation.”

Gu Xiyu was stunned and after a moment of silence, asked: “Did he hurt his eyes too at that time? I accidentally saw some eyes medicine.”

“Oh, the doctor said he has a small defect in his eye, which was relatively weak and easy to get infected. He needed to pay attention to it so the doctor prescribed him the eye protection medicine.”

They were right in front of the Ji family, so Xiyu and Ji Chen had to sleep in the same room at night. But in fact, Ji Chen was very busy until late at night most of the time and he got up very early the next day to go out. For some time, Gu Xiyu and Ji Chen maintained a strange atmosphere that seemed like a cold war.

Gu Xiyu was alone in the room using the new laptop the old butler gave him when the system that he hadn’t paid much attention to for several days suddenly spoke: [Since Ji Chen is your mission target, and Lan Yue is someone who is targeting him, will you cooperate with him?]

“I think co-operating with him is the best choice.” Gu Xiyu stopped typing: “I also said the same thing to Lan Yue that day.”

The system was quiet for a long time before giving a monotonous response: [oh.]

Gu Xiyu looked at the information about the Fu family he was searching online and continued to say as he scrolled the screen, “But I didn’t plan to seriously cooperate with him.”

Lan Yuu could scheme against Fu Nian who had provided him a lot of help and support at the beginning so he was obviously very unreliable. Moreover, Lan Yue had the original owner killed. Not only would he not help him, but he would also find a way to send him to prison.

[….You lied to him?]

Gu Xiyu said: “If I hadn’t said that, how could I have gotten such peaceful days? Maybe, he would have let someone blow up my car this time.”

He happened to scroll to the names Fengming Group and Ji Chen as he spoke. He dragged the arrow on the screen and circles those two words for a few times then whispered: “He is my target. Only I have the right to do both bad or good things to him. I’ll never allow anyone to intervene.”

The system laughed mechanically: [You are right.]

[He is your target. Only you can bully him.]

Gu Xiyu’s paused his movements.

He had just acted according to the command line of the mission, but why did this system sound as if Ji Chen was a little pitiful soul being bullied?

Ten minutes later, the phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw that he had a message From ‘big devil’.

Big Devil: [I have made a dinner reservation. Let’s have a meal together tomorrow night. ]

?

Why was this person so fickle?
