Everyone in the Group is a Main Character, Except Me Who's the Villain

5: Is this a test for cadres?Fang Ming looked at the words ”this life is yours,” and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Brother, what would I want your life for? I’m just a corporate slave who wants to make money to pay off debts.

Just as Fang Ming was speechless.

[Ding]

[Detected group member ”Soldier King Lone Wolf’s” strong desire for help and trust, triggering a group owner Exclusive Commission Mission.]

[Mission Name: Lone Wolf’s Reverse Scale]

[Mission Description: As the group owner of the Myriad Heavens Mutual Aid Group, you should respond to the prayers of group members. Please take action to reduce the villain Qin Xiao’s malicious suppression of Chu Yao and help her maintain her bottom line.]

[Mission Reward: ??? (Settled upon mission completion)]

[Accept? Yes/No?]

”It can actually trigger a mission?”

Fang Ming’s eyebrows rose slightly. This mission wasn’t in the chat box but was a system message, meaning the other group members couldn’t see it!!

”Damn it, I’m going for it. The cheat is what matters most.”

The cheat was the key to his rise; Fang Ming naturally wouldn’t refuse the mission.

With a thought, he clicked the [Accept] button.

[Ding! Mission accepted.]

... [Nameless Guide]: ”Do not be anxious. Since you have joined this Myriad Heavens Mutual Aid Group, this old man naturally cannot sit idly by.”

[Nameless Guide]: ”However... this old man’s status is special, and it is inconvenient to directly interfere in the karma of the mortal world. How about this...”

Fang Ming paused and typed with his thoughts:

[Nameless Guide]: ”In the mundane world, I have an unworthy disciple. Although his talent is mediocre, he has the advantage of being within the situation and possesses a heart for goodness. I can order him to secretly look after Chu Yao and resolve this crisis for you.”

A spokesperson?

Exactly, it was Fang Ming himself.

This ”I have a friend” routine might be cliché, but it was effective.

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”Thank you, thank you, Senior. Such great kindness... Senior’s disciple must also be a dragon among men!”

[Ding! Group member ”Soldier King Lone Wolf” has sent you an exclusive Red Envelope!]

Fang Ming was just about to type a few polite words when a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Immediately after, a large red gift bag pattern popped up on the screen.

A Red Envelope?

Fang Ming was stunned for a moment.

This Chat Group could even send red envelopes? Like a WeChat transfer? He subconsciously clicked to receive it with his thoughts.

In the next second, a bizarre scene occurred.

He saw a ripple like water appear in the void before him. Then, two black cards dropped out of thin air, landing right by his hand on the steering wheel.

”Holy crap?!”

Fang Ming’s hand shook in fright, and the second cigarette he had just lit almost burned a hole in the leather seat.

Physical transmission?

This cheat really has something going for it!

He hurriedly picked up the two cards.

These were two pure black bank cards. They felt cold and heavy, not like plastic, but more like some kind of metal.

There were no bank logos on the face of the cards, only a string of raised gold numbers and an inconspicuous ”Swiss Bank” logo in the corner.

On the back of the cards, a six-digit PIN was written with a marker.

At this time, the Soldier King’s message also popped up in the group.

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”Senior, words cannot express my gratitude. I don’t have anything good to offer, but these two are anonymous black cards, each with one million US dollars inside.”

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”One is for your tea money. Although I know this small amount of money won’t catch your eye, it’s a small token of my appreciation. Please be sure to accept it!”

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”The other one, please trouble yourself to pass it to Yao Yao. She has suffered all these years, and I don’t want her to worry about money anymore.”

Fang Ming’s hand holding the card froze in mid-air.

How much?!

One million... US dollars?!

And there were two of them?

Fang Ming felt like his breathing was about to stop.

According to the current exchange rate, one million US dollars was over seven million RMB, and two cards meant over fourteen million!

He worked like a dog for Qin Xiao, from dawn till dusk, and had to endure that psychopathic young master’s whims. He only made a few thousand a month, and he wouldn’t even get the twenty thousand until next month.

Even at a monthly salary of twenty thousand, it would take him thirty years of working without eating or drinking to earn that one million US dollars!

And now, just by moving his fingers in the group, this massive sum had fallen from the sky?

”Is this what it’s like to be a protagonist...”

Fang Ming looked at the cards in his hand, his eyes feeling a bit hot.

What does ’class’ mean?

Qin Xiao was nothing like a wealthy young master; compared to the Soldier King, he was just a stingy miser!

Testing an official with this? Who could withstand it!

Fang Ming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to howl at the sky.

Calm down, I must stay calm.

You are the group owner, you are an expert, you are the Nameless Guide who views money as dirt.

If you act like you’ve never seen the world, your persona will collapse.

With trembling hands, Fang Ming typed the words into his mind.

[Nameless Guide]: ”Vulgar.”

[Nameless Guide]: ”This old man is helping you because I value the deep bond between you siblings. Do you think it is for these worldly riches?”

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”Senior’s lesson is correct, I was too abrupt. But right now, I have nothing of value except these mundane things... If you don’t accept, I truly won’t be able to rest or eat in peace. I beg you, just consider it as labor fees for your disciple’s errands!”

Look at that!

That’s what you call being sensible!

When someone is begging you to take their money, it would be impolite to refuse again.

The corners of Fang Ming’s mouth curled up wildly, but the words he typed remained indifferent.

[Nameless Guide]: ”Very well, since you insist, I shall accept it on behalf of that unworthy disciple as funding for this operation. Consider it helping him settle a portion of karma.”

[Nameless Guide]: ”As for the one for your sister...”

Fang Ming looked at the card intended for Chu Yao and frowned.

Give Chu Yao a million US dollars directly?

This probably wouldn’t be helping her; it would be harming her.

A poor female college student who relied on financial aid even for tuition suddenly pulling out an overseas black card with millions in it—she’d be reported in minutes.

Even without Qin Xiao taking action, those ’friends and relatives’ watching her would swallow her whole.

At that moment, the previously silent Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine spoke up.

[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: ”Um... although I don’t understand modern prices, I’ve heard my master say that wealth should not be flaunted. If Miss Chu Yao is truly just an ordinary student, wouldn’t giving her so much money all at once actually bring her disaster?”

[Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine]: ”An ordinary man is innocent, but possessing a jade treasure makes him guilty.”

He was a medical student after all. Though young, his mind was much more delicate than that Soldier King who only knew how to shoot things up.

Fang Ming nodded secretly; this was exactly what he wanted to say.

On the other end of the screen, the Soldier King clearly realized it too.

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”Damn it! I was foolish. I only wanted to give her the best but forgot about her situation... Senior, what should be done then?”

[Nameless Guide]: ”I will keep this card for you for now. Since you are willing to let my disciple look after her, let him step forward and support her in a reasonable, steady manner.”

[Nameless Guide]: ”Not only can it solve her urgent needs, but it can also help her block Qin Xiao’s overt and covert attacks.”

[Soldier King Lone Wolf]: ”Good, I’ll follow Senior’s arrangements. As long as Yao Yao is safe, anything goes!”

Settled.

Fang Ming let out a long breath and carefully tucked the two cards into his inner pocket.

The left pocket held one million dollars in ”labor fees,” and the right pocket held one million dollars in ”activity funds.”

Feeling the heavy weight against his chest, Fang Ming felt his back straighten instantly.

With this money, even if Qin Xiao went crazy and fired him tomorrow, he could live comfortably.

However... Fang Ming looked out the car window.

Take someone’s money, solve someone’s problems.

Now that there was a mission and he had taken the Soldier King’s money, he naturally had to handle this beautifully.

He had to protect Chu Yao without exposing himself.

Vroom!!

His phone suddenly vibrated.

Fang Ming glanced at the caller ID; it was that big oaf, Wang Meng.

”Hello?” Fang Ming answered the phone, his voice instantly switching back to that cold and efficient special assistant tone.

”Brother Ming, I’ve arrived at the school!”

Wang Meng’s loud voice came through the receiver, accompanied by noisy background sounds. ”I just went to the Academic Affairs Office and used Young Master Qin’s name with the director. That old guy was scared shitless and said he’d process the paperwork to stop the financial aid immediately.”

”And I also found out that Chu Yao is currently getting food in the cafeteria. I saw her—tsk tsk, she’s really something. No wonder Young Master Qin is fixated on her...”

Fang Ming’s eyes turned sharp. This idiot Wang Meng was certainly fast.

”Stay where you are.”

Fang Ming started the car, and the audi a6 let out a low roar as it slowly drove out of the underground garage.

”Don’t do anything. If I find out you’ve scared her or ruined Young Master Qin’s ’mood,’ you can expect to be thrown into the Jin River to feed the fish.”

”Yeah, yeah, I got it. I’ll wait for you here. Hurry up and get over here.”
