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

111: System Item SharingAlthough Qin Xiao wasn’t in the class Chat Group, many classmates had saved his contact information.

After hearing the news that Fang Ming was living in Jinjiang Courtyard, several classmates called to confirm, so it was natural for him to know.

He had previously given Fang Ming 1 million yuan to kidnap Liu Changqing, and just now, he gave another 500,000 yuan to deal with Chu Yao’s matter.

Even without the 200,000 yuan hush money for Chu Yao, the grand total was only 1.5 million yuan.

However, any villa in Jinjiang Courtyard costs tens of millions, and even the down payment would be at least three to four million. This gap couldn’t be filled by Fang Ming, an assistant earning a fixed salary.

”The villa wasn’t bought by me; it was given by someone else...”

”Given??”

Fang Ming didn’t hide anything and truthfully recounted the entire incident, as everything came through legitimate channels anyway.

He spoke lightly, but Qin Xiao on the other end of the phone felt his eyelids twitch.

Han Kun?

The one known as the Emperor of Chengdu’s underground forces? His father suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and was saved by Fang Ming?

This plot... why does it sound so strange?

Fragments of vague memories from his previous life flashed through Qin Xiao’s mind. He remembered that Han Kun later became very close to Chu Feng, providing a lot of help after Chu Feng returned to the country, becoming one of Chu Feng’s important allies in Chengdu.

But this incident of Han Kun’s father having a myocardial infarction... he had no impression of it in his previous life at all?

”You brat, this luck... it’s unmatched.”

He seemed to be sighing, yet also talking to himself: ”Saving someone gets you a villa?”

”It was just a lucky coincidence,” Fang Ming echoed, not saying much more.

”Alright, I understand.” Qin Xiao said this and then hung up the phone directly.

Sitting in the large executive chair, he casually tossed his phone onto the desk, leaned back, and stared at the ceiling, his brows slightly furrowed.

Fang Ming saved Han Kun’s father?

This matter was too coincidental, so coincidental that it made him feel uneasy.

Ever since his first attempt to hoard rhodiola rosea and suppress Mu Qingxue failed, Qin Xiao had a vague feeling—this world didn’t seem to be entirely following the script he remembered.

Especially concerning people and events related to the Protagonist.

For example, Chu Feng appearing to save Liu Qiang, the mysterious Master behind Mu Qingxue, and now... Fang Ming saving Han Kun’s father.

”Han Kun...” Qin Xiao rubbed his temples, feeling a bit muddled. ”Is the butterfly effect really that powerful?”

He picked up the phone on the desk again and dialed another number.

The call connected quickly, and Chen Qian’s cautious voice came through.

”Young Master Qin?”

”Do you know about Fang Ming moving into Jinjiang Courtyard?”

”I do!”

”Then why didn’t you tell me?”

There was a noticeable pause on the other end, then Chen Qian’s somewhat aggrieved voice came through: ”Young Master Qin, didn’t you say... to report once every half month? Only ten days have passed; it’s not time to report yet!!”

Qin Xiao was speechless at her words.

He had indeed given such instructions, thinking at the time that Fang Ming was his follower and wouldn’t have any major issues, so Chen Qian only needed to report periodically, not daily.

He hadn’t expected... ”From now on, report any important changes directly,” Qin Xiao ordered coldly. ”There’s no need to wait half a month.”

”Okay, Young Master Qin, I understand.” Chen Qian quickly agreed.

She wasn’t stupid. Why didn’t she report in time?

Because she had her own little secret.

Although the Qin Corporation, where Qin Xiao worked, was Chengdu’s top enterprise, even ranking among the top ten in the entire Xia Nation, what good was it if she couldn’t climb up?

On the contrary, she had been observing Fang Ming’s recent changes. People are selfish, and seeing Fang Ming’s opportunity to enter the upper class, how could she possibly put all her eggs in Qin Xiao’s basket?

...Meanwhile, Fang Ming, Wang Meng, and Chen Liang were playing billiards, each with a beautiful billiards assistant, making for a pleasant and eye-catching scene.

At 5:30 PM, Chengdu Detention Center.

When Zhou Yuan walked out of the Detention Center with Lawyer Tan, his steps were still a bit unsteady.

The Detention Center gate slowly closed behind him, and Zhou Yuan took a deep breath of the free air outside.

The car exhaust, the greasy smoke from the roadside food stalls, and the unique stuffiness of summer were so real they made him want to cry.

”Mr. Zhou, all the procedures are complete. You are free now.” Lawyer Tan stood beside him, a professional smile on her face.

The audio and video evidence provided by Lin Shihan was too crucial, coupled with the special circumstance of her grandmother’s serious illness requiring a huge amount of medical expenses. After reassessment by the police and prosecutor’s office, they decided to change Zhou Yuan’s compulsory measure to release on bail pending trial.

Although the case wasn’t completely closed, at least he was out.

”Lawyer Tan... thank you, truly, thank you so much.” Zhou Yuan turned around and bowed deeply to Lawyer Tan, his voice choked with emotion.

During these past few days in the Detention Center, he had thought too much, especially about Brother Fang and his mother.

If it weren’t for Brother Fang, he might really have to stay inside for a while, and what would his mother do then?

By the time he got out, his mother might not even be alive.

”Don’t thank me.” Lawyer Tan waved her hand, her tone serious: ”If you want to thank someone, thank the person who truly helped you behind the scenes.”

She didn’t know who Mr. Duan’s boss was, nor did she know the specific relationship between this boss and Zhou Yuan.

But she was clear that the key to this case turning around so quickly wasn’t her as a lawyer, but the behind-the-scenes boss who was willing to provide 500,000 yuan to save Lin Shihan’s grandmother.

Zhou Yuan paused, then understood Lawyer Tan’s meaning.

”I’m leaving now.” Lawyer Tan checked the time. ”I’ll inform you promptly of any further developments in the case. Rest well during this time and don’t act impulsively again.”

”Yes, I’ll be careful.” Zhou Yuan quickly agreed.

Lawyer Tan nodded at him and turned to walk towards the white Volkswagen parked by the roadside.

Zhou Yuan watched the car drive away, took a deep breath, and immersed his consciousness into his mind.

[God-Tier Deliveryman]: ”@Nameless Guide, Brother Fang, I’m out. Thank you.”

A few seconds later, a reply came.

[Nameless Guide]: ”Good that you’re out. Go to the hospital to see your mother first. Her surgery went smoothly, and she’s recovering well.”

[God-Tier Deliveryman]: ”Okay, I’m going to the hospital now!”

[Nameless Guide]: ”Act more steadily in the future. When you make a move, don’t leave any handles for others to grasp.”

[God-Tier Deliveryman]: ”I will, Brother Fang. This time, I’ve truly learned my lesson.”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes felt hot. He vigorously wiped his face, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and gave the hospital address.

The car drove away from the Detention Center, and the street scenery outside the window rapidly receded.

Meanwhile, on Fang Ming’s side.
