The Plot Can't Stop

Damn it, if you do the first, I'll do the fifteenth!

If I don't give you a harsh enough lesson, you won't know how many legs I've got!

Lu Chengwen smiled. "Want me to calm down? Sure!"

He grabbed a bottle of foreign liquor and slammed it onto the coffee table. "Drink it."

First, Leng Qingqiu never drank. Her tolerance was terrible; even a little alcohol would get her seriously drunk.

Second, Leng Qingqiu had extremely strong self-respect. She had never allowed herself to be threatened or wronged in her life, much less drink as punishment.

Lu Chengwen didn't believe it. He didn't believe Leng Qingqiu's bottom line had vanished, nor did he believe she would accommodate him without limit. That wasn't the Main Heroine's character setting, and it shouldn't have been hers.

I don't believe in this crap!

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, fury and grievance in her eyes as tears welled in their corners.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu being pushed to the brink by him, Lu Chengwen suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Leng Qingqiu had never suffered this kind of humiliation since childhood.

He had doted on her for three years, simped for her for three years, pursued her for three years...

For those three years, he had always obeyed her every whim, compromised himself, spoken softly, and done everything possible to please her.

She had always held herself high above everyone else, but today, he was going to make her lower her head in public.

Lu Chengwen shouted at himself inwardly:

Lu Chengwen, why are you feeling sorry for her? Don't let those little eyes fool you. She... anyway, you have to hold firm!

You can't stay tangled up with her. Better to offend her early and break up early.

Wow, but that resentful look... Am I committing a sin here?

Lu Chengwen pretended not to care. "Not drinking? If you don't drink, you're disrespecting me. If you disrespect me, then you're disrespecting my... dignity! I, Lu Chengwen, in Xue City..."

Leng Qingqiu suddenly grabbed the bottle and tipped it back, pouring the liquor into her mouth.

Everyone watched in silence.

As Lu Chengwen watched the proud, noble Leng Qingqiu with liquor continuously spilling from the corners of her mouth, he clenched his fists nervously and cheered himself on.

Lu Chengwen, don't feel sorry for her, don't feel sorry for her, don't feel sorry for her. Feeling sorry for her means abusing yourself!

Don't really drink it, miss! Stop drinking! Just curse me a few times and walk away! If that won't do, slap me! What are you doing this for?!

Leng Qingqiu suddenly choked and set down the bottle, coughing nonstop.

Lu Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew..."

But before she could recover, Leng Qingqiu picked up the bottle and began drinking again.

Lu Chengwen truly couldn't bear it anymore and snatched the bottle away.

The two stared at each other. The private room in the clubhouse was frighteningly silent.

Leng Qingqiu's eyes were red, tears at their corners. She stared at Lu Chengwen as if she were saying:

Happy now, Young Master Lu? Satisfied now, Young Master Lu? Do you still want me to drink, Young Master Lu?

Lu Chengwen shamefully averted his gaze, not daring to look into her eyes. "I-I'm sorry."

The manager beside them thought it was time for some flattery. He clapped his hands. "Great! President Leng has an incredible tolerance! Truly a—"

"Get out!"

Lu Chengwen roared.

The manager froze, then hurriedly said in a low voice, "Go, everyone out. Move."

All the servers and girls quickly left the room.

Lu Chengwen let out a breath and stood up. "Let's talk."

Walking through the clubhouse corridor, Leng Qingqiu was already staggering.

Lu Chengwen remained silent the whole way, filled only with self-reproach.

I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. It's just... how did this end up like this?

Leng Qingqiu's mind was already muddled. Her steps were unsteady, and when she finally stumbled, Lu Chengwen quickly caught her.

The last thought from Lu Chengwen that Leng Qingqiu heard was:

I'm sorry, truly sorry. I didn't mean to...

In her haze, tears spilled from Leng Qingqiu's eyes. "Lu Chengwen... you're not human..."

Lu Chengwen carried Leng Qingqiu in his arms and sighed. "You're right. I'm not human."

Leng Qingqiu's secretary team panicked.

They had never dealt with a situation like this before.

The chief secretary bowed respectfully. "Um... Young Master Lu, please leave President Leng to us. We'll take good care of her."

Lu Chengwen looked at them, calm and sincere. "I won't harm her. Don't worry."

Several secretaries were stunned.

Over the years, they had seen Lu Chengwen in all kinds of states.

Shamelessly clingy, vulgar and obnoxious, convinced he was funny, utterly without a bottom line...

But they had never seen Lu Chengwen use such a sincere expression, such an earnest voice, to say something so serious.

For a moment, the girls were all a little dazed.

Lu Chengwen gave a bitter smile. "In any case, Qingqiu was hurt by me today. The guilt I feel right now makes me want to strangle myself. Please trust me and give me a chance to make it up to her, all right?"

The chief secretary said awkwardly, "Young Master Lu, it's not that we don't trust you, but we feel that..."

At that moment, Leng Qingqiu hazily wrapped her arms around Lu Chengwen's neck and murmured as if in a dream, "You can leave. I'm fine."

Lu Chengwen and the secretary team were both dumbfounded.

So was she drunk or not?

The chief secretary needed to confirm it. "President Leng, are you sure you're all right? Do you want CEO Lu to take you away?"

"Mmm..."

Leng Qingqiu clung to Lu Chengwen's neck, pressed her face against his chest, and nuzzled him. A coquettish little sound escaped her.

This left the entire secretary team even more bewildered.

First, Lu Chengwen had completely broken character, becoming downright frightening.

And now Leng Qingqiu was displaying a shy, girlish side they had never seen since they first met her.

The chief secretary was sweating anxiously. "President Leng, I have to confirm this with you. Are you truly drunk, or are you..."

"Go away," Leng Qingqiu murmured hazily.

Carrying Leng Qingqiu, Lu Chengwen walked straight out of the clubhouse.

Zhao Gang had already driven the car over and flashed Lu Chengwen a lewd grin.

The car drove away, leaving the chief secretary standing there with a deeply furrowed brow.

"Sister Han, this... President Leng is drunk, and we handed her over to Young Master Lu... That's far too unprofessional!"

Another secretary said, "But we had no choice! President Leng was lucid one moment and muddled the next. We couldn't determine whether she was really drunk and had lost her ability to make normal decisions, or whether she was simply... using drunkenness as an excuse to be with Young Master Lu."

"But... doesn't President Leng hate Young Master Lu?"

"But President Leng really did deliberately come looking for Young Master Lu today, and... you all saw what happened then."

Sister Han sighed. Watching as the car vanished from sight, she said calmly:

"If President Leng is really drunk, we're all dead tomorrow."

Zhao Gang drove personally.

As he drove, his sleazy little eyes kept glancing toward the backseat through the rearview mirror.

Lu Chengwen kept wiping Leng Qingqiu's face with a wet towel from the car, asking if she felt any better. Leng Qingqiu remained dazed, lucid one moment and confused the next.

Zhao Gang spoke up. "Young Master, I'm truly impressed! This move of yours, playing hard to get, was incredible! I was wondering why you'd suddenly turned into a good person. So you still had this move in reserve. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Lu Chengwen looked at him. "I'm only taking care of a girl I accidentally hurt. I don't have a single filthy thought in mind, understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Gang pressed his lips together and nodded sincerely.

"To be honest, sometimes I'm truly grateful that I followed you, Young Master Lu. Your upright character and noble moral qualities have always been a model for me to learn from and emulate. I firmly believe that if everyone in the world were as kind, upright, and compassionate as you, Young Master Lu, then this world would become a harmonious, beautiful, perfect world."

"Speaking of which, I know an adult-themed hotel. It's secluded and private, with every kind of toy and equipment available. As long as we give the manager a tiny bit of money, he can provide us with a free multi-angle recording system..."

Lu Chengwen had no way to argue with this bit-part Erwuzai. He silently raised the partition glass. He could see Zhao Gang, but Zhao Gang could no longer see the backseat or communicate with him.

Give him a little money? And that counted as free?

No matter how immoral Lu Chengwen was, he would never take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state.

In his own world, he had been a food delivery guy. He had read plenty of webnovels and watched all kinds of adult films; he could even be considered half an expert.

But he knew very well that those were part of his private life. He couldn't do evil things in reality.

The education and upbringing he had received wouldn't permit him to do such a thing.

Besides, could Leng Qingqiu be touched? The Male Protagonist's woman was off-limits. That was an ironclad rule!

In every novel he had read, there had never been a plot where the Villain successfully got his hands on the female lead.

And if he had such thoughts, then according to the plot, Long Aotian would definitely appear at once.

No matter how hidden the location, Long Aotian would definitely find it. Logic? What the hell did webnovels care about logic!

Even if you tried to bully Leng Qingqiu on the moon, Long Aotian would have some miraculous encounter and suddenly leap out, scaring you so badly you'd lose bladder control on the spot.

Not only would he fail to succeed, he would instantly max out the hatred between himself and the Male Protagonist.

Before Leng Qingqiu, Long Aotian would rage madly, displaying how fiercely protective he was of her, how heartbroken and desperate he was for her sake...

So how would the Male Protagonist express such complicated, intense emotions?

Beat me up!

Right, beat me half to death!

He might even castrate me, then burn my whole family to death in one huge fire.

Then, holding Leng Qingqiu in his arms, heartbroken to death, he would speak in the style of an idol drama, Wuxia, or Qiong Yao drama:

"Qingqiu, it was my fault. I failed to protect you. Blame me! Hit me! Curse me! That would make me feel a little better!"

"Oh no! No! No! I won't despise you because he held your hand. This wasn't your fault!"

"I, Long Aotian, swear that from now on, I'll never let anyone bully so much as a finger of yours again. You are my woman, and you always will be!"

Lu Chengwen shuddered and nervously checked whether any cars nearby were following him.

Grandma Bear, I softened for one moment, and now I really brought the Main Heroine into my car?

Heaven as my witness! I have no bad intentions! You... you're the Male Protagonist. You have to be reasonable, you have to have morals. I wasn't trying to do anything bad, so you can't hit me!

And you can't castrate me.

Castrating people... is immoral.

Lu Chengwen lowered the partition. "Zhao Gang, go home."

"G-go home?"

"Is going home that hard to understand? Damn you!"

"N-no, it's not hard to understand."

The night had grown deep.

Sitting in the backseat, Lu Chengwen felt mentally and physically exhausted. Too much had happened today, far too much.

Others might think it was nothing, but he had escaped death several times.

Just then, a call came in.

Lu Chengwen answered it. It was Xu Xuejiao.

"Brother Chengwen, what are you busy with? Come to the pharmaceutical factory right away. I'm waiting for you."

"What?"

Lu Chengwen was on the verge of breaking down. "Miss! Heavens! I've been following the plot all day long already. Can't I get some rest? Is the Villain not a person?"

This chapter isn't over yet. Please click the next page to continue reading!

Xu Xuejiao froze, wondering what nonsense he was talking about.

"No, you said that batch of medicine needed to be destroyed as soon as possible. My team has already arranged everything. We're destroying it tonight, and holding a press conference tomorrow. We need to work through the night."

"Aren't you the Vice President of the pharmaceutical factory? Isn't it enough for you to be there?"

"Hehe, for an operation of this level, President, you have to sign it personally. And don't you miss me?"

"I miss your big head! You've been plotting to harm me all day! Tell me first, are you with Long Aotian or not?"

"Long Aotian? That so-called Divine Doctor from today? Hmph, who even knows him? You're the only one in my heart."

Lu Chengwen was practically crying. "Miss, I'm begging you, can you let me go? Stop saying this nonsense. How about this: I'll go to the pharmaceutical factory and personally supervise the entire destruction process. You don't go, and the two of us don't meet. All right?"

"Mmm, that won't do." Xu Xuejiao said, "According to the standard disposal procedure, you, me, a leader from the Drug Administration Bureau, the person in charge of our group's internal Review Committee, and the relevant notary personnel all need to be present. Not one can be missing."

Lu Chengwen clutched his head in agony. "I understand, but let me tell you, this time I'll definitely lie low until the very end! Definitely! Don't even think about setting me up!"

Lu Chengwen shouted the last part, then roughly hung up.

Xu Xuejiao was utterly confused. "Has this guy gone crazy? What is all that nonsense?"

Lu Chengwen lay in the backseat, feeling even weaker than the "Drunkard," Leng Qingqiu.

Just then, the system chimed.

System prompt: Congratulations, Villain. You have brought the Main Heroine Leng Qingqiu under control. The protagonist is currently on the way to rescue her. May you cut through all obstacles and turn danger into safety.

Lu Chengwen's eyes flew wide open as he shouted, "Do you people have any humanity at all?!"
