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

234: Chapter 234 Rebirth in the City as a Cultivator (Grand Finale)Shangguan Hong wanted to seize power, while Fang Ming wanted to protect Jiang Che. Since Nangong Ling was Jiang Che’s mother, she naturally fell under Fang Ming’s protection.

Therefore, the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable.

Normally, any top-tier wealthy Family would think twice before facing a Grandmaster expert, but in the face of absolute profit, what did a Grandmaster matter?

After the two sides laid their cards on the table and parted ways, the profit-driven Shangguan Hong decisively decided to take out Fang Ming as well.

At Jiang Che’s homecoming banquet.

Utilizing his Danger Perception, Fang Ming pulled Nangong Ling into his arms and used his True Qi to form a Protective Aura, blocking a hitman’s handgun bullet for her before sending the gunman flying with a single slap.

He didn’t even need to interrogate the man to know who was behind it.

And while held in Fang Ming’s arms, Nangong Ling suddenly felt a momentary flutter in her long-sealed heart.

The ’hero saving the beauty’ trope was old, but it was the most effective.

The greatest wish of her life was to be reunited with her son.

Now, Fang Ming had not only saved Jiang Che multiple times but had also saved her repeatedly. This sense of security was something she had never experienced, even with Shangguan Yang.

Fang Ming, however, was unaware of her thoughts.

That night, he helped Jiang Che avoid a car bomb, took out two Early Stage Grandmaster experts hired by Shangguan Hong, and used the thousand illusions mask set to infiltrate Shangguan Hong’s villa and kill him.

As a group executive, Shangguan Hong’s mysterious murder naturally drew police attention, but Fang Ming’s disguise methods were far beyond the scope of normal human understanding, so the matter was eventually left unresolved.

Over the next few days, once Fang Ming confirmed Jiang Che was out of danger, he returned to Chengdu.

Half a month later, while chatting in the Chat Group, he noticed that Gu Bai hadn’t posted in a long time and tagged him directly.

Through their conversation, he learned that Gu Bai’s grades in every recent exam had been dropping significantly.

【Nameless Guide】: ”Your exam scores are lower every time, yet that Song Minghui sleeps in class every day and his grades are steadily improving?”

【Peking University】: ”Yes, Brother Ming, I don’t know what’s been wrong lately, I just can’t seem to focus...”

【Nameless Guide】: ”This might not be your fault.”

【Peking University】: ”Not my fault? What do you mean??”

【Nameless Guide】: ”I’ll tell you when I get there!”

Drawing on his years of experience with web novels, Fang Ming sensed something was wrong and traveled to Yang City once again.

...

Yang City, early autumn.

The second time Fang Ming stepped into this small city, it was quite a bit colder than the last time.

He didn’t disturb Gu Qinghe or contact Gu Bai, but instead staked out Song Minghui’s school for two days.

On the third night, Fang Ming used the thousand illusions mask to assume an incredibly ordinary face and intercepted Song Minghui at the school gate as he was heading home from evening self-study.

Song Minghui was still struggling as he was dragged into a streetlight-less alleyway.

”Who the hell are you? Do you know who my dad is?”

Fang Ming didn’t say a word and slammed a fist into his stomach. Song Minghui curled up like a shrimp, dry-heaving twice, unable to curse anymore.

Fang Ming pinned him against the wall and lowered his voice: ”I ask, you answer. For every wrong answer, I break a finger.”

Song Minghui nodded frantically. ”Was it you who messed with Gu Bai’s grades?”

Song Minghui’s pupils constricted, and he remained silent.

Fang Ming grabbed his pinky finger and gave it a light snap.

”Ah!” Song Minghui screamed, but Fang Ming covered his mouth, leaving only muffled groans.

”I’ll talk... I’ll talk!” Tears streamed down his face from the pain as he gasped for air: ”It’s... it’s the System, I have a System...”

Fang Ming narrowed his eyes: ”A System?”

”It’s called the exchange system... it can swap my things with others...” Song Minghui said haltingly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

”How did you get this System?”

”I don’t know... that day I was angry and punched a wall, and then it appeared... I didn’t do anything...” Song Minghui’s voice trembled: ”It won’t let me tell anyone, if I do, it will...”

Before he could finish, his entire body suddenly froze.

[Ding, detected that the host has violated regulations by leaking core System secrets. The exchange system is now uninstalling...]

[Uninstallation complete. host memory erasure in progress...]

Song Minghui’s eyes suddenly went hollow, and he began to drool. He slumped down the wall like a pile of mud, collapsing on the ground with a vacant stare, making ”he-he” sounds from his throat.

Fang Ming knelt down and waved a hand in front of his face.

No reaction!

He checked Song Minghui’s pulse and then his pupils... Just like Lu Chenzhou, his brain had suffered a shock; he would likely become an idiot.

Fang Ming didn’t bother further, standing up and vanishing into the night.

He felt no guilt.

A thing like a System shouldn’t have fallen into the hands of someone like this in the first place. As for whether Song Minghui would be a fool or a madman from now on, that was the Song Family’s problem.

A few days later, Gu Bai sent a message in the group.

【Peking University】: ”Brother Ming, my score on yesterday’s mock exam suddenly returned to normal, even a few points higher than before. Song Minghui hasn’t come to class lately; I heard something happened to him...”

Fang Ming replied with an ’Mm’ and explained what had happened. Gu Bai was shocked, and after Gu Qinghe learned the truth, she immediately went to Chengdu to find Fang Ming.

This time, she didn’t shrink back anymore, willing to be with him even without a formal title.

...

With Jiang Che and Gu Bai’s troubles resolved, Fang Ming’s life became much more peaceful. Aside from the monthly group member search, he spent his time chatting, lurking in the group, and dating girls.

Ye Xiaoyu had grown accustomed to the days without her father. Under Fang Ming’s care, she grew more beautiful by the day. Every time Ye Tian video called, she would hold her rabbit and shout excitedly, ”Daddy, look at the picture I drew today!”

Chen Qian had completely cut ties with the Qin Family. She would occasionally stay at the villa for a night, cook porridge the next morning, and then they would both go about their business without mentioning feelings or the future.

Qiao Xingyue moved into Moon Lake Bay and officially transitioned from a car model to ”Fang Ming’s woman.” She stopped doing promotional events and, at Fang Ming’s suggestion, started a live-streaming account to share luxury car reviews, outfits, and travel, gaining followers rapidly.

She often showed off Fang Ming’s luxury cars or villa in her streams, and the comments were full of things like ”Sis, are you being kept?”

She would just smile, neither confirming nor denying.

Mu Qingxue remained the same cold female CEO. Under her leadership, Yunlan International grew larger and larger, becoming a leading brand in the domestic beauty industry.

However, her Family was pressuring her to marry, forcing her to seek Fang Ming’s help. During a Family dinner, she had Fang Ming pretend to be her boyfriend to accompany her grandfather in drinking. As a result, their feelings heated up, and they ended up turning the act into reality in her room.

As for Qin Xiao? Although he was a transmigrator and no longer targeted Fang Ming, his personality remained as it was, and the conflict between a protagonist and a Villain was irreconcilable.

Two months later, Chu Feng settled his identity issues and returned to the country. During a singing session in a KTV private room, he got into a conflict with Qin Xiao over a trivial matter.

Chu Feng was not only a Soldier King but also had the Chat Group as his backing; how could Qin Xiao possibly be his match?

No matter how cautious Qin Xiao was, Chu Feng and the others still found evidence of his crimes. In the end, the Qin Corporation’s stock price collapsed overnight, and Qin Xiao was sentenced to ten years in prison with all personal assets confiscated.

Zhao Ruilong’s life wasn’t easy either. With the help of his System, Zhou Yuan not only accumulated staggering wealth but also obtained ironclad evidence of the Zhao Family’s involvement in organized crime through national channels.

Zhao Haicheng and Zhao Ruilong, father and son, were both imprisoned. Overnight, the Zhao Family fell from being a top-tier wealthy Family in Chengdu to a laughingstock.

【Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Family】: ”Brother Ming, my mom asked when you’re coming to Magic City? She wants to treat you to dinner.”

【Soldier King Lone Wolf】: ”The group owner is busy starting a business lately; he probably doesn’t have plans to come to Magic City for now!”

【Peking University】: ”@Nameless Guide Brother Ming, my sister said she’s pregnant with your child!!”

【Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine】: ”What? Your sister is also pregnant with Brother Ming’s child? My aunt is too...”

【Nameless Guide】: ”...”

【Nameless Guide】: ”Lin Chen, don’t mess around. Gu Bai’s sister is one thing, but your aunt?? I just saw her two months ago, how is that possible?”

【Marvelous Doctor of Chinese Medicine】: ”When you saw her last time, she was only a little over a month pregnant, it wasn’t showing. She didn’t even know herself; I only found out two days ago.”

【Nameless Guide】: ”...”

Fang Ming’s face was full of black lines.

Ye Nuannuan walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of soup. She placed it on the coffee table, saw Fang Ming’s expression, and sat down beside him.

”What’s wrong??”

”Just look at the group!!”

After reading the chat history, Ye Nuannuan didn’t say much, only leaning quietly against his shoulder.

”By the way, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Chu Yao said she’s coming over for dinner.”

”Then I’ll tell the auntie to buy more groceries tomorrow.”

After speaking, Fang Ming looked at the last rays of twilight outside the window and took a deep breath.

This year, so many things had happened. He had gone from being a small lackey by Qin Xiao’s side to the group owner of the Chat Group, the reliance of several women, and the turning point for countless people’s fates.

He didn’t know what the future would hold, nor did he know if he could protect everyone around him.

But at least for now, everything was moving in a good direction.

Ding-dong!

Another message popped up in the Chat Group.

【System Prompt: Monthly search beginning... Search successful. ”Rebirth in the City: Urban Cultivation” has joined the Chat Group.】

(The End)

PS: I’m truly sorry, everyone. There was still a lot of plot that could have been written, and I didn’t want to end it so quickly, but the website isn’t giving any traffic. Only a few hundred people read it every day, and I’ve really lost motivation. So, let’s leave this book here. May we meet again if fate allows.
