The Key Figure Su Shuangshuang

The thugs who had been harassing the young girl turned at Uncle Wu's voice, snarling viciously, "Old bastard, you got a death wish or what?"

Just then, Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun toward them. Though she had been a bit nervous, she steadied herself under his influence.

The thugs naturally spotted Wan Qingyun in the wheelchair and immediately pointed fingers, laughing: "Hahaha, look, a cripple—"

A flash of murderous intent flickered in Uncle Wu's eyes as he stepped forward and clamped the thug's mouth shut.

With a crack, he dislocated the man's jaw.

Then his powerful, savage kicks lashed out like a storm.

Within a breath or two, the thugs were sent flying in all directions at once.

Only the bewildered young girl remained, staring blankly at Uncle Wu and the others.

"Th-thank you..." she stammered timidly.

Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun onward without stopping, his gaze never once falling on the thugs. Only as they passed the girl did he glance at her from the corner of his eye.

She was a bit disheveled now—dirty-faced, clothes rumpled.

But Jiang Junyi could tell she had good bones. Cleaned up and dressed properly, she'd probably be a little beauty.

Not that it had anything to do with him, of course.

"Better head home quickly," Wan Qingyun said softly as they passed.

From the girl's voice, she guessed she was no older than eighteen—about the same age as her own younger sister.

"Mm..." The girl nodded lightly and walked off into the distance.

Just then, a system notification rang out in Jiang Junyi's mind—

Ding~ Key character detected! Spend Pure Love Points to view detailed information!

Jiang Junyi frowned. Key character? That little girl?

Still pushing the wheelchair, he opened the system panel and found the File Repository.

There sat an unlit file.

B-Class Confidential Document—"Daughter of Destiny Assisting the Dragon King (Part 1)": 6000 Pure Love Points!

Jiang Junyi's mouth twitched at the price. He'd barely had those Pure Love Points long enough to warm his hands, and now he had to shell out 6000?

But the file's importance was obvious. First, it involved the Dragon King. Second, it involved a Daughter of Destiny.

The meaning was clear: this was a chance to weaken the Sons of Destiny!

Jiang Junyi mourned his Pure Love Points for three seconds, then decisively grabbed the file.

Ding! Exchange successful!

After the exchange, he opened the file—

The threads of fate had already shifted unnoticed. The girl who should have fallen into the abyss now walks in the light because of you.

Su Shuangshuang, the Su Family's Abandoned Daughter, illegitimate child of Su Ling's Father.

Her mother died early due to Su Ling's Father's neglect and abuse. She grew up alone from a young age, now burdened with massive debt.

She hates the Su family and holds incriminating secrets about the Su Corporation. But she knows she can do nothing alone.

In the original timeline, Su Shuangshuang would fall into dire straits from crushing debt, and Lin Xiu, learning of her identity and secrets by chance, would choose to save her.

Lin Xiu's goal in saving Su Shuangshuang was to win over Su Ling and take control of the Su Corporation—and in the end, he enjoyed the best of both worlds.

But a butterfly flapped its wings, and the destined path has already shifted.

You are now a faint beam of light in her darkness. Perhaps... you can make use of that?

Jiang Junyi finished reading the file, and a standard villainous smirk slowly spread across his face.

In that case.

He turned to look at the receding figure behind him.

Don't blame me, then.

Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun along, all the while mulling things over in his mind.

Should I handle this myself, or find a way to send her to Qingyun's side...

This had always been a point of contention for him. Right now, he clearly outmatched Wan Qingyun in power and backing, and he had the system on top of that.

Some of these dangers he could handle on his own, without needing Wan Qingyun to lift a finger.

But Wan Qingyun's established identity was that of a super major villain.

System, if I just keep handling everything myself like this, and let Qingyun develop steadily, what would happen?

Ding! Your Pure Love target will die.

Jiang Junyi's pupils abruptly contracted. His hands on the wheelchair instantly clenched tight!

Why?!

The world's correction force will intervene. When a super major villain's power and backing don't match the level of crisis, there is a ninety percent chance of death.

Jiang Junyi fell silent. That meant Qingyun had to grow on her own; all he could provide was early protection and developmental resources.

"Tch."

At that thought, he couldn't help clicking his tongue. What a hassle.

Wan Qingyun heard Jiang Junyi's movement and curiously tilted her head up. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Junyi lowered his head slightly and saw Wan Qingyun's playful upturned face, his mood instantly lifting. "Nothing. Looks like I stepped in dog shit."

"Ew~ That's gross."

In the sunlight, Wan Qingyun's fair, delicate face seemed to glow, her flushed skin making Jiang Junyi want to take a bite.

He couldn't help pinching her cheek. "I'll rub up against you, and you can stink with me."

"No."

Jiang Junyi smiled silently. He decided that even if it meant death in the end, he would protect Wan Qingyun's life.

Uncle Wu followed far behind, pulling out his little notebook and jotting down quickly—

Helped the Young Master deal with two or three small fry; his mood should be much better now.

Today's Young Master and Young Madam are also very harmonious, wuwuwu, when will I ever find a partner?

After finishing his notes, he pulled out his phone and sent the photos of the two walking along the riverbank to the group chat.

Soon, a series of ding sounds rang out.

Uncle Wu didn't look, but a smile crept onto his face. He didn't need to check to know there'd be a bunch of jealous, envious comments.

After strolling for about an hour, Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun returned home.

One continued reading and handling documents, the other idled on their phone, occasionally teasing the other.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for Wan Xiaoxiao to get out of school.

"Qingyun, I'm going to pick up Xiaoxiao. Stay home and take care," Jiang Junyi called out.

"Okay."

After giving his instructions, Jiang Junyi took Uncle Wu to Jiang City No. 1 High School to pick up Wan Xiaoxiao.

At that moment, Wan Xiaoxiao was strutting toward the school gate, surrounded by a crowd of students.

"Xiaoxiao! Is that luxury car from this morning really coming again?!"

"Yeah, yeah! And that ridiculously handsome big brother—what's his relationship with you? It can't be your boyfriend, right?"

"Wow, I wanna ride in that car too!"

Wan Xiaoxiao wore a smug smile as she replied, "He wouldn't dare not come! As for our relationship, that's a secret for now. It's not a boyfriend, and it's nothing shady."

Just as the students were noisily heading toward the gate, Jiang Junyi's sleek, black luxury car had already pulled up at the entrance.

"Whoa—!"

All that could be heard was a chorus of "whoa."

Wan Xiaoxiao stood not far from the car, craning her neck as she waited for Jiang Junyi and Uncle Wu to get out.

Three minutes passed. Nothing happened.

Wan Xiaoxiao: Seriously? Bro?
