The Villain Is A Scheming Boss 25

It was Sunday. Outside the white, ancient European-style hotel, several magnificent limousines parked in front of the gate one after another, dropping off distinguished passengers.

Gu Xiyu wore a black mask and had a bunch of flowers in his hand as he walked through the gorgeously dressed crowds to the hotel counter.

He clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed pretentiously before taking out his ID card.

“Please wait a moment.” The young lady at the front desk quietly glanced at the roses in his arms as she received the ID card.

The room registration was processed quickly: “This is your room card, the room number is 1321…”

Gu Xiyu hadn’t seen much of Ji Chen ever since that day when he almost died of embarrassment in the office. Ji Chen went directly to work the next few days, only sending him a few messages occasionally to show his presence.

Gu Xiyu once asked him what he was up to, but the other party either deliberately changed the topic or said: “Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I won’t hurt you.”

Sometimes he’d just ask: “If I do something that you can’t forgive one day, what would you do?”

Gu Xiyu replied to the message with heavy sarcasm: “I will personally send you to prison.”

The prison of the Time and Space Management Bureau.

Then Ji Chen would say: “You are so ruthless.”

Gu Xiyu had to book a room at the hotel where Ji Chen might bury explosives. He wanted to monitor the progress of Ji Chen’s plan in real-time.

“Are you sure he is in the hotel?” Gu Xiyu did not forget to confirm with the system that Ji Chen was in the hotel when he took the elevator upstairs.

The system’s answer was very certain: [Yes.]

The Great Demon was not on the list of invitees. It was impossible that he simply came here on vacation.

Gu Xiyu tried to ask the system for Ji Chen’s location, but the system only said: [Guess.]

He moved to press the report button, and the system said with honesty: [I really don’t know. You have to find him yourself.]

There were hundreds of rooms in this big hotel. It was obviously unrealistic to find him by searching them one by one. The people at the front desk would never divulge the personal information of their guests.

Gu Xiyu arrived at the floor where the banquet venue was located. From the promenade, one could hear the soft background music from the open door of the venue. He watched from the corner for a while and suddenly saw a team of security personnel rushing to the venue from the stairs. They had solemn expressions as they whispered something to Lan Yue at the entrance.

Lan Yue’s expression became a little ugly after listening. Only after giving the security team some instructions did he hurriedly return to the venue.

Gu Xiyu saw that those people had started arranging more guards around the hall, and he left before they spotted him.

Ji Chen had stopped responding to his messages, so he planned to wander around the nearby floors. He was passing the elevator doors that had just opened when a white shadow suddenly rushed out of them and ran in front of him.

The staff in the elevator shouted anxiously, but they were quickly separated by the closing elevator doors.

“… Xixi?!” Gu Xiyu never thought that he would see this lazy cat in the hotel.

Xixi meowed at him, then turned and ran in the direction of the stairs, stopping to wait for him before going upstairs.

Gu Xiyu followed Xixi, who seemed to want to take him somewhere. He climbed up several floors and finally saw it sitting outside one of the inconspicuous doors.

The door was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap.

He was still hesitating on whether to go in when Xixi, who was at his feet, slammed the door wide open and slipped in.

Only a small lamp on a low table was lit in the room. Through the dim light, he saw the man sitting by the window and staring at the night view outside the window. Half of his body fell into the shadows, and the expression on his face was not very clear.

Gu Xiyu walked to him and saw that Ji Chen was sitting in a wheelchair. He frowned and asked in shock, “Did you hurt your legs?”

Ji Chen smiled: “No, I just wanted to recall the days when I couldn’t walk.”

Gu Xiyu: “…?”

Who would want to remember such an unpleasant thing?

“In this way, every time I feel weak or tired and want to give up, I will once again be encouraged by the anger.”

Gu Xiyu didn’t say a word and put the 99 rose bouquet in his arms directly into Ji Chen’s arms.

Ji Chen stared at the big red roses in his arms, but his grievances did not seem to have been eliminated, and he went on to say: “Many thought that the incident back then was caused by Fengming’s enemies, and that the perpetrators were sent to prison.”

“However, my legs and my life were almost ruined by my own biological father.” His voice became lower and lower, and Gu Xiyu could hear the uncontrollable anger. “He asked someone to cause the accident. Even if I don’t die, at least it would make me unable to stand up again.”

Ji Chen’s tone gradually became confused: “I didn’t understand what was wrong when I was young, I only thought that I wasn’t doing well enough, so I desperately hoped that he could look at me more, even if it was only a compliment from him.”

“When I grew up, I still couldn’t understand, but I also realized that no matter what I did, I would never be able to make him like me. On the contrary, my achievements would only make him more angry and hateful, to the point where he wanted me to die. ”

Ji Chen said and laughed: “Maybe it’s because I am not the protagonist of this world.”

When Gu Xiyu heard these words, he almost thought that Ji Chen had discovered everything. He even prepared to knock Ji Chen out at any time, then brainwash him or clear his memory.

Seeing his surprise, Ji Chen tilted his head slightly and asked, “Isn’t it? Look at Ji Zixuan. He has been held in the palm of everyone’s hands since he was a child. Even if he encounters any difficulties, he can always find someone who will do his best to help him.”

“HH obviously got the protagonist’s script.” Ji Chen was amused by his own words.

“…You are right.” Gu Xiyu replied.

Ji Chen propped his head with one hand and said: “Today is just right. All the people I hate are here. You tell me, if I blow up the hotel, will I be able to end everything once and for all?”

Gu Xiyu: “There are also innocent people in the hotel.”

Ji Chen’s eyes dimmed: “I don’t care.”

“Since the world never cared about me, why should I be merciful to other people?”

As Ji Chen moved his hand, Gu Xiyu discovered the rectangular remote control with a red button lying in the palm of his hand.

Ji Chen asked him: “Do you think I should press it?”

Gu Xiyu looked at him for a while before replying: “Okay, you can press it.”

Ji Chen squeezed the remote control in his hand. After a long time, he got up and walked in front of him. He lowered his head and asked with a smile, “Gu Xiyu, are you so confident in me? You should know that I am not afraid of death.”

Gu Xiyu’s eyes were calm: “You wouldn’t do it.”

After a few seconds, he heard the soft click of the button being pressed.

There was no movement in the hotel building, but his ears still heard the sound of something exploding.

Ji Chen watched Gu Xiyu’s stunned gaze fall on the brilliant fireworks outside the window, and said with a bit of a proud tone: “Look, I prepared more than you did.”

“…” Gu Xiyu stared at the firework rain outside the window that was bigger than the New Year’s celebration, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

He had won the gamble.

Ji Chen asked him: “How did you know that I wouldn’t do it?”

Gu Xiyu faced the window for a moment before he said softly, “Because Xixi is also here.”

Ji Chen really cared for very few people around him. Apart from the old butler, there was only Xixi, the white cat, whose existence he did not want to hurt. If he really wanted to be buried with everyone in the building, he would have left Xixi with the old butler to take care of him, instead of bringing it over as if he were preparing for a surprise.

Ji Chen stroked Gu Xiyu’s face and asked, “Why don’t you think it’s because of you?”

Gu Xiyu sensibly said: “Although you have shown me that you like me and are greedy for my body, with your personality, I don’t think you love me that much in this short period of time.”

Ji Chen laughed after listening to his, and his expression became a little inexplicable: “My mind tells me that it is interested in you, but my soul tells me it truly loves you.”

“All my life, I have lived my days in anger and hatred. My hatred for the Ji family and Ji Zixuan also stems from the partiality of my biological father. Everything I did was simply to hinder his wishes and the success of his arrangements. ”

“I had never tried the feeling of being liked or liking a person.” Ji Chen said, suddenly pressing him to the window and hugging him from behind. He then lowered his head to Gu Xiyu’s ear and whispered in an affectionate tone. “I want to try it now, will you help divert my attention for the rest of my life?”

Gu Xiyu looked at the silver flowers gradually falling outside the window and whispered softly, “I haven’t tried it either.”

He couldn’t empathize with other people’s happiness or sorrow. He only knew that he should laugh with them when they are happy and give some comfort and sympathy when they are sad.

Therefore, he actually had no idea what Ji Chen expected. If he could do things that would make Ji Chen happy according to the system’s suggestions and could meet his requirements that didn’t hit his bottom line, then there was no reason for him to refuse Ji Chen.

In Ji Chen’s eyes, Gu Xiyu’s silence was tantamount to an agreement.

Ji Chen took a package from who knows where and put it in Gu Xiyu’s hand. Under Gu Xiyu’s stunned gaze, he bit his ear and said, “Help me put it on, I will definitely not sleep off today.”

Gu Xiyu unpacked the package and took out the balloon-like thing from the box. He stared at it as if he were a scientific researcher studying a new specimen.

Ji Chen grabbed his hand: “I heard that feelings can be cultivated just by doing it.”

“If it still doesn’t work, we’ll just have to do it a few more times.”

“I won’t let you leave the hotel until we finish this box.”

Gu Xiyu: “…”

———

Ju Chen tossed Gu Xiyu all night, and he only got up at noon the next day. His body was indeed aching, but for him, that much exercise was not enough to make him unable to get out of bed.

Ji Chen was wearing the bathrobe provided by the hotel, standing by the window, and talking with someone. Ji Chen’s expression was plain, and his tone was not too enthusiastic, but he still refrained from speaking in an aggressive tone with the other party.

Gu Xiyu felt that Ji Chen was right. “Doing” it several times really helped him cultivate emotions.

For example, he is very angry right now.

Ji Chen’s uncompromising temperament was well reflected in the harmonious movement. Even though he had clearly indicated that he didn’t want to do it anymore, this person still insisted until daybreak. There were too many things in that box, and if it weren’t for the fact that Ji Chen’s cell phone started ringing continuously at dawn, he suspected that Ji Chen would have done what he had said and let him go only after all the things in that box were used up.

In terms of experience, except for the first time when neither party knew what to do and was a little crazy, the rest of the time was quite enjoyable, especially after a few rounds of practice.

No wonder there were so many couples who didn’t get tired of doing such unscrupulous things together, even after doing it 1000 times.

He buried his head in the pillow for a while before grabbing the phone. The moment he was connected to the internet, an overwhelming amount of the latest news instantly popped up.

He clicked and saw that, while he was entangled in bed with Ji Chen, a big incident had occurred in the banquet hall.

According to the original plan, a short film elaborately produced by the Liyang Group would be played at the beginning of the banquet.

The video was supposed to be on the construction of the entertainment city, but what was broadcast were Lan Yue’s various dirty deeds that had been secretly recorded, including the beating and subjugation of company leaders who were weaker than him, as well as his chaotic private life. In addition to brazenly encouraging several big companies to fight each other and profiting from it, as well as framing Fengming Group, there was also a video of him standing in a corner of the street, watching a car hit someone with indifferent eyes.

Then, Fu Nian directly played audio evidence of Lei Zhenting’s plot to kill his grandfather at the venue. He lost control of his emotions and broke the shocking news that Lei Lina was not Lei Zhenting’s biological daughter.

What happened at the venue was recorded by the media reporters present. Fu Nian in the video said: “It’s really pitiful. Back then, Lei Lina’s biological mother happened to live in the same ward as your wife. She knew she was the wife of a wealthy family, so in order to let her child live a better life, she entrusted her sister, who worked in the hospital, to secretly replace the children.”

“You still don’t know that Cheng Qianqian is actually your biological daughter, right?”

Lei Zhenting obviously couldn’t accept this astonishing truth. He grabbed the lapel of his shirt and gasped for breath as guests around him held him up. Fu Nian also made a phone call before Lei Zhenting, telling him he could only save one person’s life between Lei Lina and Cheng Qianqian. Lei Zhenting was unable to choose for a long time, so he directly ordered Fu Nian to kill both girls.

Lei Zhenting collapsed to his knees and wept bitterly, fainting several times during the period.

When Gu Xiyu saw this, his face twitched, and he almost jumped out of bed to understand what had happened. But then, he realized that the main system hadn’t notified him of the collapse of the world, and he was lying there intact, indicating that the heroine was not dead yet.

Sure enough, when Ji Zixuan in the video rushed up and punched Fu Nian, Cheng Qianqian and Lei Lina suddenly ran in from outside the venue. There was also a hotel security guard following them. The security had accidentally found the two girls locked in the hotel warehouse and had rescued them.

Gu Xiyu looked at Fu Nian, who was smiling as he watched the chaos from the high platform. And while he was smiling and laughing, he suddenly cried, covering his face and screaming like a madman.

The grandfather he loved and cherished for many years turned out to be a murderer. The elder he had trusted for many years turned out to be his grandfather’s murderer, and the girl he wanted to protect was the biological daughter of his grandfather’s murderer.

Gu Xiyu understood his entanglement and despair a little bit.

He had received some messages, and when he clicked on the app, he found that they were all from Haozi.

Haozi: [Hehehe, I can finally talk to you! ]

Haozi: [I’m so exhausted! Your man captured me to do hard labor. His technical team is really good, and they are among the best in the world! ]

Haozi: [I can now make legitimate money by working with them! ]

Haozi: [Your man said that he has taken a fancy to my skills and is willing to hire me to join his team. He offered a lot of money, woohoo! ]

Ji Chen, who had walked to his side at some point, suddenly took away his mobile phone and rubbed the top of his head: “Tired?”

Gu Xiyu raised his eyes and looked at him: “I’m okay. You are older, so I am more worried about your situation.”

“…”

After the intense exercise yesterday, Ji Chen’s risk value dropped from 80 to 30. He vaguely remembered hearing the automatic notifications from the system intermittently.

He was suddenly at a loss.

It turns out that those mission executors did not succeed because they used the wrong methods?

But this method was also a little bit sloppy.

Gu Xiyu looked at Ji Chen, who was blindly clicking his phone, and suddenly understood: “You…lied to me?”

Ji Chen paused and hooked the corner of his mouth: “How can my surprise for you be a lie?”

Gu Xiyu pushed him away and lowered his head: “Are you cooperating with Ji Zixuan?”

What happened last night was undoubtedly Ji Chen’s behind-the-scenes work. But since he was with him, there must have been someone at the venue helping him get these done, including all the preliminary preparations. Such a complicated matter was somewhat difficult for Fengming to manage alone, so Ji Chen must have received help from somewhere.

Looking at the entire incident, only the Ji Group was not affected among several large groups and companies. If Ji Chen wanted to take revenge, then the Ji group should have been on his top list. Why wasn’t it affected at all?

The only explanation was that Ji Chen had reached an agreement with the Ji Group.

“I was actually still very upset.” Ji Chen’s eyes were somewhat dissatisfied, but all that dissatisfaction disappeared when he looked at him. “But if cooperating with him and letting my previous grudges go is the price of your love, then I’m unhesitatingly willing.”

Gu Xiyu was taken aback by his serious tone, and Ji Chen went on to say: “Zixuan is more reasonable than that old man. He will not be like him, targeting me for no reason, so I am willing to take a step back and cooperate with him.”

“The operation of the group also needs a stable period of time. I will plan my best so that Fengming’s follow-up development doesn’t have too much conflict with the Ji Group…” Ji Chen was halfway through his sentence when his face was suddenly poked.

Gu Xiyu’s eyes were still very indifferent, and there was no emotional fluctuation, but there was a slight tenderness in their depths.

“You don’t have to wrong yourself so much.” Gu Xiyu said.

In fact, he has been thinking about whether any loopholes in his mission could be exploited. Now that the method to complete the mission has completely deviated from the original plan, there may be a balance that could be maintained between the target and the protagonist.

“What do you think about Fengming and Ji Zixuan working together for a win-win situation?”

If Ji Zixuan’s achievements could be maintained at the same level as Ji Chen’s, there would be no talk of him being suppressed. In this case, the world would not collapse because of the changes, and Ji Chen wouldn’t need to make unnecessary moves, right?

Ji Chen patted his head lightly and hummed softly: “How can that brat who hasn’t even grown his feathers be qualified to talk to me about cooperation?”

“But since it’s his little aunt’s opinion, I will reluctantly consider it.”

The relationship between Ji Chen and the Ji family was still stiff, but fortunately, the protagonist, Ji Zixuan, was a rational and assertive person. He had never cooperated with Ji Chen in business, so he could sit peacefully with Ji Chen, who had calmed down, and talk.

Perhaps it was because the temporary cooperation at the previous banquet made them understand each other a little bit, and they found that the other party was not as bad as expected, so they started tentative contact.

The banquet became a joke. Lan Yue, who had done a lot of bad things, was taken away along with Lei Zhenting, who was suspected of murder. The Lei family fell into chaos for a long time after that, as their patriarch was suddenly pronounced guilty. The eldest lady was not a real daughter, and Cheng Qianqian, who was shocked by her real identity, also fell into a very difficult period of time.

Later, it was said that Lei Lina took the initiative to leave. She returned to Cheng Qianqian’s rightful position, and went to live and work in a small city by herself. But during this period, Cheng Qianqian would take care of Lei Lina, who suddenly became more sensible, and had long established a friendship with her.

Lei Lina’s biological mother, who had secretly exchanged the girls, was also thrown into jail. Cheng Qianqian, who had the kindness of a heroine, couldn’t bear it. After Lei Lina refused to go back to the Lei family with her, she would still go visit her from time to time. The relationship between the two was better than that of sisters.

Fu Nian, who was hit hard by everything, was released after the investigation since he did not really kill any of the girls. He left the country but did not go back to the Fu family, preferring to live alone. He didn’t contact anyone, so Gu Xiyu and Ji Zixuan didn’t know where he went or how he was doing.

Gu Xiyu remembered the old residential building, so he went back there. He found that it was still clean and tidy at the beginning, and there were obvious traces that someone had been there.

Ji Chen’s risk value had already dropped to zero over the years they were together. The main system immediately notified him that he could leave after completing the mission, but the intelligent system reminded him that if he left rashly, Ji Chen’s mental state would get affected, causing a big explosion of risk value, so he simply stayed and accompanied him through his life in this small world.

According to the regulations of the Bureau, once the cycle ends and the Great Demon King’s primordial soul energy shows signs of weakening, it should be taken back to the Bureau, and imprisoned after fusing with the main soul.

Gu Xiyu sometimes thought that if the Great Demons got memories of all the things that happened in the small world after the fusion, then he would probably be furious.

“Xiyu.”

Gu Xiyu was sitting at the desk, holding a foreign language book, and lost in thought when he suddenly heard Ji Chen’s voice.

He has stayed in this small world for more than 20 years.

Last week, when he accompanied Ji Chen to the hospital for a physical examination, it was confirmed that his physical condition was a little bad. It seems to be due to overworking himself during his early years, so his liver is particularly bad now. He can leave this world at any time.

Ji Chen’s mentality was much better than he expected, and when asked, he even said: “It’s okay, it’s already enough that I could live these years with you.”

Ji Chen and Ji Zixuan’s relationship was still awkward, but in a good way, probably because the well water does not disturb the river. Ji Zixuan was a very good person. After Lin Fangru’s death, he mentioned that Ji Chen, who had been expelled from the Ji family tree, should be put back, but Ji Chen refused.

Ji Chen said to Ji Zixuan, “Even if I die, the Ji family will not be my home, so there is no need.”

Gu Xiyu didn’t know where his confidence came from, but what he said was indeed correct.

Ji Chen put the serving plate with the freshly brewed, fragrant tea on the table. He coughed a few times and then asked him: “What are you thinking about? You didn’t hear me call you several times.”

“It’s nothing. I’m in a daze because I’m old.” Gu Xiyu said sarcastically.

“I found another scented tea with a good taste today. You can try it.” After Ji Chen handed him a cup, he took the remaining one and drank it.

Gu Xiyu didn’t like hot drinks but never refused what Ji Chen gave him.

“It’s really sweet.” The cup of tea was unexpectedly delicious, with a sweetness that he had never felt before.

Ji Chen habitually rubbed his head again. His eyes curled slightly while he looked down at him: “Right? I was amazed the first time I tried it. It has an unforgettable taste.”

“At that time, I was thinking that such a good tea must be kept for this moment.”

Gu Xiyu was a little puzzled when he heard these words.

When? Is today a special day?

Just after thinking about this, his head was hit by a strong bout of dizziness, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed. The pain was so intense that he could not hold onto the porcelain cup in his hand, causing it to fall to the ground with a crash.

[[it is detected that the host’s soul is unstable, and the host’s body is severely damaged. The soul-stripping process has been initiated. ]]

He raised his head to look at Ji Chen, but his eyes were blurry.

Ji Chen stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms. He sat on the floor with him, leaning against the table’s legs and whispering above his head: “The pain will soon go away.”

Gu Xiyu was expressionless.

This insane man actually put poison in the tea.

Ji Chen also seemed to be uncomfortable, probably because he drank the same tea with him; his voice gradually became softer, but he spoke with a smile: “I’m sorry, I cannot accept that after I leave, you may have new relationships and new contacts with other people.”

Gu Xiyu wanted to curse, but his body didn’t allow it.

He really couldn’t think of anyone besides the mission target, Ji Chen, who could give him a reason to stay here.

“Even if I die, I will take you away.” Ji Chen’s voice was soft but indifferent.

“I don’t want to leave you to anyone in this world.”

This was the last thing Gu Xiyu heard before losing consciousness.

Ji Chen forcibly endured the pain in his body and opened the panel that only he could see for the last time.

{You…if…..wish to.…meet again, just don’t…speak of… this…secret…}

The latest message on the panel was this bright red reminder.


Arc 1 is over!!
