Mysteriously Became the Villain

"I'll fight you to the death!" he roared, his neck stiff.

Zhang Yang looked down at the guy's red-faced and swollen face, and felt quite speechless.

Can we blame him for this?

But this guy was wrong to start swearing.

Not far away, a group of boys walked out of the nightclub in small groups, one of whom was the one who had delivered the message.

"Holy crap, they actually dared to lay a hand on my Brother Peng!"

A group of boys, filled with excitement, rushed over, all thinking that the boy on the ground had suffered a great injustice.

The culprit, Wang Luyao, stood to the side, her face pale, genuinely panicked.

"What, are you going to gang up on me?" Zhang Yang stood still, looking around.

Five or six tall boys glared at him, as if they were about to surround him at any moment.

"He was flirting with a girl, and then he hit her boyfriend?"

"What are you doing?! You think you're so great just because you're handsome?! Today you'll recognize us!"

The boy who brought the news ran over and helped Wang Luyao's boyfriend up.

"Brother Peng, are you alright?"

"Cough cough! It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just a little out of breath." He waved his hand, looking at his girlfriend who remained unmoved not far away, his hands trembling with anger.

"Wang Luyao, are you just going to stand by and watch me get beaten up?"

Wang Luyao, who was not far away, didn't even look at him, but ran over to Zhang Yang's side.

"Zhang Yang, I'm so sorry, I've caused you trouble."

"It's nothing," Zhang Yang said casually, without saying anything else.

To be honest, if he were in Wang Luyao's boyfriend's shoes, he would be angry too. There's nothing to say about that; any guy with normal values would think that way.

But there was nothing he could do; he inexplicably ended up playing the role of a spoiled brat and the villain.

If everyone looks out for themselves, they'll be doomed. So, I guess I'll just have to temporarily distort my values and go down this dark path.

"Brother Peng, we've warned you before, this Wang Luyao is a troublemaker, but you wouldn't believe me. Look at her, look at her, do you believe me now?"

"Break up with her now. There's nothing to regret about a woman like that."

"Yeah, that's right. A grown man like you can find a girlfriend anywhere."

The boy called Peng's expression shifted several times, but he couldn't bring himself to say those words; he still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Wang Luyao, come here now, and we'll call it even!"

"Sun Peng, we're finished!" Wang Luyao bit her lower lip, her expression turning cold and ruthless.

Upon hearing this, her boyfriend Sun Peng, turned deathly pale.

"It's over?"

His lips trembled, he muttered something to himself, and then stared at Zhang Yang from a distance.

"It's all your fault! You stole my girlfriend!"

"Make way, don't be so blind." Although Zhang Yang was invincible in some ways, he was not a belligerent person.

Or to put it another way, there's no point in bullying weaker opponents.

"Brother Peng, what do you suggest we do? Maybe we should just vent our anger. As for your girlfriend, she's like sand slipping through our fingers, let her go." Several boys looked at Sun Peng.

Zhang Yang smiled and stepped forward.

Two boys blocked the way.

"Isn't this annoying?" Zhang Yang stretched out his hands, one on each side, and easily pried the two apart with his arms.

The two boys were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they each stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"You dare to lay a hand on me!"

Zhang Yang's casual action immediately seemed to add fuel to the fire.

Several boys stared wide-eyed. One of them took off his shirt and threw it on the ground, another pointed his index finger at Zhang Yang's nose and started cursing, and yet another rushed forward, ready to attack.

Young people are always prone to impulsiveness.

Zhang Yang had drunk some alcohol, and he was burning with pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent it.

He kicked it!

Bang!

It traced an arc through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the boys were kicked away.

Zhang Yang stood in the night, as if he hadn't moved at all.

"Young people, don't cause trouble," Zhang Yang said casually, glancing at the remaining bewildered young men.

What kind of bullshit loyalty is that?

It was nothing more than a drunken act, a desire to stir up trouble and seek thrills.

He walked up to Sun Peng and saw the panic in his eyes.

"I'll give you a chance. Tell me what I did wrong. If what you said makes sense, I can apologize to you." He asked with a smile.

Sun Peng's eyes were filled with panic, his mouth was open, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Because, putting aside our positions, they didn't do anything wrong.

Ignorance is no excuse.

"Can't say, huh? Then you're assuming I'm right, right?" Zhang Yang asked.

Sun Peng nodded blankly, though he felt like something was off.

"Okay, let's settle the other scores now." Zhang Yang changed the subject, staring at the boy in front of him, "Now tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"Where... where did I go wrong?" Upon hearing this, Sun Peng felt like he was about to vomit blood.

Was he wrong?

What did he do wrong that someone else stole his girlfriend from him?

"Come on, get out of the way, let's talk over there." Zhang Yang casually grabbed his collar with one hand, as if he were carrying a chicken, and walked him to the side.

Everyone present was stunned.

Sun Peng is also 1.8 meters tall and weighs 160 kilograms, but this guy carried him for seven or eight meters with just one arm, as if he were carrying a chicken, without him feeling any weight at all.

What kind of incredibly strong monster is this?

Suddenly, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in everyone's hearts.

This is especially true for Sun Peng, the person involved.

"Alright, now you can talk." Zhang Yang let go of him and continued to ask, as if he wouldn't give up until he got something out of him.

"I... I shouldn't have..." Sun Peng stammered, his mouth dry, "I shouldn't have wronged someone without even knowing the facts."

"Yes, that counts as one. Are there any others?" Zhang Yang nodded.

"And... and I shouldn't have acted impulsively, I shouldn't have sworn," Sun Peng said, his lips trembling.

"There's one more." Zhang Yang thought for a moment and realized he had missed one.

"There... there's more?" Sun Peng was dumbfounded.

"Fine, I see you can't figure it out either, so I'll just say it for you: you shouldn't interfere with your girlfriend's normal social interactions, right?"

Sun Peng nodded with a long face, saying yes.

"Okay, now that you've admitted your mistake, shouldn't you apologize to me and to your girlfriend?" Zhang Yang continued to ask.

Sun Peng was stunned, his fists clenched, and a strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart.

He wanted to fight back, but when he saw the immense strength contained within that tall body, and then looked at the several guys who had been knocked to the ground, he instantly chickened out.

"Brother, I'm sorry." As soon as he said those words, it felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

"Wang Luyao." Zhang Yang waved to Wang Luyao.

Wang Luyao obediently walked over, her eyes still lingering with amazement and wonder as she looked at Zhang Yang.

"Come on, apologize to your girlfriend."

"Zhang Yang, let me correct you, it's his ex-girlfriend," Wang Luyao suddenly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Sun Peng felt a pang of pain, but looking into those emotionless eyes before him, he finally managed to utter a dry "I'm sorry."

"Alright, that's all." Zhang Yang said this and turned to leave, looking carefree.

Those who remained seated, slumped on the ground, or standing motionless, were all somewhat stunned and hadn't yet reacted.

"Luyao, I..." Sun Peng looked at the face in front of him, which combined innocence and charm, opened his mouth, and still wanted to try to salvage the situation one last time.

However, all I got in return was a cold, indifferent look.

And then, he just watched helplessly as his girlfriend—no, his ex-girlfriend—chased after the boy who had just left.

··

"Zhang Yang, wait for me!" Wang Luyao came running up, out of breath.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yang glanced at her amusedly. "You're quite the player, sneaking out for drinks without your boyfriend's knowledge. Look at all the people you've messed with all by yourself! Luckily, I'm pretty good at fighting, otherwise I would have been completely outmaneuvered today."

Wang Luyao clutched the hem of her skirt, her pale legs rubbing together nervously.

"I'm sorry," she said softly, sounding a little guilty.

"Never mind, it's alright. You should go back and get some rest." Zhang Yang walked straight ahead without turning his head.

I had only taken a couple of steps when I suddenly felt a warmth in my arm.

He turned around and saw Wang Luyao clinging to his arm, her eyes pleading. "Since you're not angry anymore, don't forget to take me with you."

"Want to play again? That's not a good idea, is it?" Zhang Yang said casually.

"I've already broken up with him, what's there to feel guilty about? Besides, you didn't hold back at all when you touched me just now, you really made me feel awful," Wang Luyao muttered.

Zhang Yang thought about it and realized that he was indeed a little tipsy just now.

As for this girl's character, whether she's a jerk or not, that's none of his business. He can be happy as long as he's happy.

"Okay, then come with me." Zhang Yang nodded.

Wang Luyao immediately beamed with joy, stepped forward, and affectionately linked arms with Zhang Yang.

The two got into the car together.

Late at night, in a nearby hotel, Zhang Yang and Wang Luyao discussed life.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yang got up and looked back at Wang Luyao, who was still fast asleep and exhausted. He couldn't help but feel a little absurd when he thought about how he might have inexplicably become an arrogant young master in other people's eyes.

As for Wang Luyao...

Needless to say, with those guys embellishing the story tonight, this girl is definitely a cheating scumbag.

After smoking a cigarette and trying to fall asleep again, Zhang Yang lay back down.

Wang Luyao, who was beside her, let out a soft moan in her sleep, and her fair arms wrapped around her like an octopus.

The next morning, Zhang Yang opened his eyes, picked up his phone, and casually asked his Li Kaiguang, about the previous night's events.

"How did it go last night? Did it go smoothly?"

The other end replied to the message shortly after.

"I took her home after it was over, nothing happened." Li Kaiguang sent a sighing emoji. "By the way, Zhang Yang, what about last night?"

"Hmm... we'll check out later." Zhang Yang definitely couldn't reveal the details, lest his older brother get incredibly jealous.

But it was no use; the more he left things blank, the more room for Li Kaiguang's imagination.

On WeChat, Li Kaiguang asked a whole bunch of questions.

Finally, he made a remark that seemed to come out of nowhere.

"Zhang Yang, it turns out you're the real winner in life."

Beside her, Wang Luyao gently peeked up, curious to see Zhang Yang's chat history.

"Do you guys always like to brag, share your experiences, and show off the details afterward?"

"That's someone else, I don't have that kind of weird sense of humor." Zhang Yang shook his head with amusement, directly denying it. "Get up, where do you work? I'll take you to work?"

"You forgot, I have a day off today, brother," Wang Luyao said with a smile.

"Taking a day off, oh, you mentioned that last night." Zhang Yang suddenly realized, then looked at Wang Luyao was quietly putting on her stockings, and asked, "Want to go shopping?"

"Go shopping?" Wang Luyao's eyes lit up immediately.

Shopping isn't just about strolling around in the literal sense. It's perfectly normal to wander around, browse, and buy something.

After breakfast, Zhang Yang took Wang Luyao to a nearby shopping mall for a casual stroll.

This shopping mall doesn't have many high-end luxury stores, so there's no chance of anything outrageous like giving away bags for free. The two of them mostly just bought designer skincare products, ate and drank, and after half a day, they only spent a few thousand yuan.

While shopping, Wang Luyao's phone kept ringing.

Zhang Yang glanced at it and witnessed Wang Luyao cleanly and efficiently block and delete him, and then she seemed to relax completely.

"This man is a chauvinist; he watches me very closely all the time. I've wanted to break up with him for a long time."

Zhang Yang, with his arm around Wang Luyao's slender waist, didn't make any comments about getting a good deal and then acting innocent.

I looked down and my phone suddenly started buzzing with messages.

It's Bei Wei's.

"A big client signed contracts for three stores this afternoon. Counting the two we signed yesterday, we'll soon have over ten branches in Magic City!"

Even through the screen, Zhang Yang could feel Bei Wei's almost overflowing joy.

Zhang Yang was also overjoyed.

The mission is nearing completion, and his random assets are about to be acquired.

Although it's still unknown what kind of business he'll acquire, judging by the system's track record, he should be taking a solid step on the road to becoming a super-rich tycoon.

"Who is it? Your girlfriend?" Wang Luyao leaned closer and asked curiously.

"Hmm." Zhang Yang nodded.

Wang Luyao's eyes darted around, and she grabbed Zhang Yang's arm, "Then tell me, who's prettier, me or your girlfriend?"

"You want to compare yourself to her?" Zhang Yang laughed twice, but didn't respond.

"Huh? You mean I'm not as good as your girlfriend? In what way? In terms of figure or looks?" Wang Luyao's competitive spirit was immediately ignited by Zhang Yang's reaction, and she was not convinced at all.

Zhang Yang remained unmoved.

Wang Luyao grabbed his arm and kept shaking it, pestering him with questions.

"Alright, alright, stop shaking. You're going to shake your arm off. Here, let me show you. But let me make this clear, I didn't say you're inferior to her, so don't take it too seriously." Zhang Yang said, while casually finding Bei Wei's bare face for her to briefly examine.

Upon seeing this, Wang Luyao was speechless.

"Okay, she's prettier than me," she said sourly. "You're getting the short end of the stick. You've gotten all the advantages and still have such a beautiful girlfriend, while I'm suddenly single."

"Hey, you just said you wanted to break up a long time ago, it has nothing to do with me, don't try to pin it on me." Zhang Yang put his arm around her waist and gave it a quick squeeze.
