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

99: It was another pleasant night.Chen Qian got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

As the daughter of a wealthy family’s driver, she knew it was inappropriate for a woman to appear halfway through a man’s discussion, so when she saw Han Kun escorting Fang Ming out, she didn’t step forward to acknowledge him.

But she was also very curious about it, so she took a taxi and followed them.

Han Kun was a powerful figure on the same level as Qin Xiao, and in some ways, even more powerful than Qin Xiao. After all, Qin Xiao was a second-generation rich, while Han Kun was a self-made entrepreneur.

When the difference between them wasn’t significant, the first generation was naturally stronger than the second.

And Fang Ming? He was just a small assistant, yet he could bypass Qin Xiao and get to know Han Kun?

”What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”

”Still pretending? I also had dinner at Sihai Restaurant today, don’t even think about lying to me. Hurry up and tell me, how did you get to know CEO Han?”

”You were also eating at Sihai Restaurant? What a coincidence! Actually, it’s nothing...”

Fang Ming didn’t intend to hide it and recounted how he saved Han Kun’s father.

Of course, he changed the method of saving him with acupressure to CPR.

Although he wasn’t sure which protagonist’s story Han Kun was a benefactor in, Qin Xiao had already interfered with his destiny.

Even if he was a character in the Soldier King’s storyline, Fang Ming wasn’t afraid of Qin Xiao knowing.

”So that’s how it is? You’re really lucky.”

After Chen Qian finished listening, she suddenly understood and didn’t doubt him, merely marveling at Fang Ming’s luck.

He casually saved an old man, who turned out to be Han Kun’s father? No wonder the other party would invite Fang Ming to dinner despite such a large disparity in their status.

”Hehe, not bad.”

”What’s this?” Chen Qian saw the keys and contract on the table.

Fang Ming stated frankly, ”CEO Han gave them to me to thank me for saving his father.”

Chen Qian was a little confused, picked them up, and was immediately shocked: ”Oh my god, a villa in Jinjiang Courtyard, over 300 square meters???”

Although her father had driven for the Qin Family for over twenty years and the benefits were quite good, a driver’s salary twenty years ago wouldn’t have been too high.

Aside from living expenses and daily costs, it would be good if the family had two or three million in savings, but a villa over 300 square meters in Jinjiang Courtyard easily exceeded fifteen million.

Before she could react, Fang Ming pulled her into his arms, a playful smile on his face: ”How about we try out the new villa tonight?”

”You... oh, you’re annoying!” Chen Qian chided, feigning resistance but secretly welcoming it.

Clearly, Fang Ming’s appearance today had made her proud in front of her best friend. In this state, she wouldn’t refuse most of Fang Ming’s requests... They took a taxi to Jinjiang Courtyard.

The villa Han Kun gave him was huge and luxuriously decorated: gilded doorframes, leather sofas, jade slabs carved with patterns, crystal chandeliers, rosewood furniture, and more.

It was a completely different world from Fang Ming’s dilapidated rental house.

Fang Ming walked around inside several times. After familiarizing himself with the villa, he sat on the leather sofa in the living room, sighing at the impermanence of life.

Once upon a time, he had also fantasized about living in a large villa, but it was just a fantasy then; now, it had truly come true.

Another pleasant night.

The next morning, before Fang Ming went to work, people from Han Kun’s side arrived.

Fang Ming handled the transfer procedures and then started his workday as usual.

Because the person Han Kun befriended was Fang Ming himself, he couldn’t temporarily use him to help Zhou Yuan get out of the Detention Center.

But it didn’t matter. After all, this case was merely about Zhou Yuan being a bit heavy-handed. As long as it could be confirmed that he acted heroically, Mu Qingxue alone would be enough.

A few days later, in the top-floor office of Qin Group.

Qin Xiao was leaning back in his large boss chair, eyes closed in contemplation, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the rosewood armrest.

The phone on the desk vibrated, and the name ”Zhao Ruilong” flashed on the screen.

Qin Xiao swiped to answer, put it on speaker, and casually placed the phone on the desk.

”Hey, Old Qin!” Zhao Ruilong’s voice came through, filled with an offended rage: ”Damn it, I’m so mad!”

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly: ”What’s wrong?”

”It’s that Mu Qingxue again? She found a lawyer named Tan Jing, who’s jumping through hoops to defend that kid Zhou Yuan.”

”Mu Qingxue? A lawyer?”

”Yeah, what the hell does Zhou Yuan have to do with her, Mu Qingxue? Is she crazy, daring to openly go against us like this?”

Qin Xiao’s tapping fingers on the armrest paused for an instant.

Mu Qingxue? Getting involved in Zhou Yuan’s case?

His first reaction wasn’t anger, but confusion and a sudden surge of vigilance.

Mu Qingxue was a woman who was smart, tough, and had a keen business sense, but her actions were always methodical, understanding how to weigh pros and cons.

To openly offend both the Zhao Family and the Qin Family for a delivery driver she didn’t know and who had no value? That wasn’t her style.

Unless... there was something about this delivery driver that she absolutely had to protect? Or had the mysterious Master behind her interfered again?

”It’s just a lawyer, she can’t stir up much trouble, especially since the evidence is in your favor!”

”I know the evidence is in my favor.” Zhao Ruilong said irritably: ”But I just can’t swallow this. How dare she, a woman, do this? I think we need to teach this woman a lesson, otherwise she’ll think we’re afraid of her!”

Qin Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly.

Teach Mu Qingxue a lesson? He certainly wanted to.

In his previous life, Chu Feng was able to bring down the Qin Corporation, and this woman, Mu Qingxue, contributed a lot.

But not now.

His reborn advantage was being eroded by unknown factors, and Chu Feng had appeared early, disrupting his rhythm.

Before figuring out the background of the Master behind Mu Qingxue and Chu Feng’s specific movements, rashly taking drastic action against Mu Qingxue was too risky.

”Calm down.”

Qin Xiao’s voice deepened: ”Yunlan International’s stock price has been hitting continuous daily limits, and Mu Qingxue is currently very prominent. Many people are watching her. Moving against her now will easily cause trouble.”

”Then what should we do? Just watch her be so arrogant?” Zhao Ruilong was unconvinced.

”What’s the rush?” Qin Xiao let out a long breath: ”To deal with her, we may not need to act ourselves. How did she get that ’jade dew’ formula? Are there any problems with her company’s recent cash flow? Commercial loopholes are always easier to find than violent methods.”

”This... alright... I’ll listen to you.”

Zhao Ruilong finally said sullenly, but clearly still somewhat unwilling: ”But Old Qin, you need to hurry up. I always feel that Chengdu has been getting increasingly unstable recently.”

”I know what I’m doing.” Qin Xiao replied and hung up the phone.

The office fell silent again, with only the low hum of the air conditioner. Qin Xiao leaned back in his chair, staring deeply at the ceiling.

Mu Qingxue... Zhou Yuan... Chu Feng... and that Master hidden behind Mu Qingxue???

These characters and events, which had little interaction or didn’t even exist in his previous life, were now strangely entangled, like a tightening net.

He had to find the key to break this situation, and for now, Chu Feng was the most obvious and most dangerous node.

Thinking this, Qin Xiao picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Fang Ming’s extension.

”Young Master Qin.” Fang Ming’s voice came through the receiver.

Qin Xiao got straight to the point: ”How’s the progress on that matter where I asked you to take photos of Chu Feng?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Ming sounded a bit helpless: ”Well... Young Master Qin, I’ve privately spoken to Li Wei and Zhang Yue, asking them to pay more attention to whether any unfamiliar young men appear around Chu Yao, especially... those with striking figures and temperaments.”

”But their feedback is that Chu Yao’s life has been very regular during this time, a two-point line between school and the restaurant where she works. She only interacts with classmates, colleagues, or ordinary customers, and hasn’t found anyone special.”

”No news?” Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes, his mind rapidly working.

Since Chu Feng was back and had even helped Liu Qiang solve his problem, how could he not contact Chu Yao? Even if it was just to secretly glance at her?

Was Chu Feng hiding too well, or... was there a lapse in Fang Ming’s surveillance? Or were those two foolish women, Li Wei and Zhang Yue, simply useless?

”Since waiting for the rabbit is ineffective, let’s lure the snake out of its hole!”

”How to lure the snake out of its hole?”

”School is about to start. Have Li Wei use that as an excuse to take her out for a meal, and while you’re at it, drug her drink.”

”Young Master Qin, are you trying to...”

”No, you are trying to.”

”Ah?”
