According to the normal plot, Ling Yi should be acting like a fool right now, waiting for the bell to ring before entering the classroom and confessing his feelings to Bai Qianqian.
This plot is not from the first chapter of the novel, but from chapter ten onwards.
Because Lin Zhe hasn't appeared in the first ten chapters yet.
Ling Yi casually tossed the flowers in his hand into the nearby trash can and turned to leave.
Ling Yi intends to disrupt the plot and doesn't plan to follow the original storyline.
If you're going to be a villain, then go all the way.
As Ling Yi walked out of the school, he took out his phone.
" Uncle Li, I need a favor..."
Uncle Li, whose full name Li Zequan, is the bodyguard that Lin Zhe's parents arranged for Song Zhe.
Born into Ancient Martial Arts family, his strength reached the Peak Acquired, just one step away from entering the Innate and becoming Supreme master in the world.
Ten years ago, Uncle Li was being hunted down by his enemies and was seriously injured. He was rescued by Ling Yi's parents and became a guard for the Lin Clan.
Uncle Li's meridians are damaged; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will have no hope of achieving the innate Innate in this lifetime.
In later episodes, he was brutally killed by the Protagonist Gao Feng, in order to protect Lin Zhe.
This is a loyal and righteous man.
Ling Yi naturally didn't want Uncle Li to die a tragic death at the hands of the brainless Protagonist, just like in the original story.
At lunchtime, Ling Yi, dressed in an expensive casual suit, leaned against his sports car, smoking a cigarette while waiting for someone.
Ling Yi wasn't waiting for the female lead, Bai Qianqian, but for Bai Qianqian's roommate, Song Yanyan.
A scheming bitch; to use the novel's own words, this woman is one who would sell her soul for money.
This woman had long ago used her body to obtain a very low-barrier entry ticket to society.
Extreme selfishness, extreme money worship.
A Xiaoxiao supporting role, appearing in about five or six chapters of the original story.
Its main purpose is to create an opportunity for the Protagonist to save the damsel in distress. After Jackie Chun, it disappears from the story and never appears again.
It was this act of hero saving the damsel in distress that made the female lead Bai Qianqian, develop feelings for Gao Feng.
Soon, Ling Yi spotted Song Yanyan.
Song Yanyan was dressed provocatively, making her stand out from her classmates.
At the same time that Ling Yi saw Song Yanyan, Song Yanyan also saw Ling Yi.
At this moment, Song Yanyan was still unaware of Lin Zhe's identity, as Lin Zhe's storyline had not yet begun.
However, being a gold digger, her eyes lit up the moment she saw Ling Yi.
Sports car, handsome guy—isn't this the rich guy I've been waiting for?
When Song Yanyan saw the handsome man waving in her direction, Song Yanyan somewhat incredulous.
She pointed to herself, and when she saw the other person nod, Song Yanyan almost fainted from happiness.
She quickly walked to Ling Yi's side.
" Song Yanyan?" Ling Yi asked.
Song Yanyan nodded, "Hello handsome, what's your name?"
"Get in!" Ling Yi opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Without a second thought, the woman walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and got in.
"Handsome guy..." Song Yanyan was about to speak when Ling Yi interrupted her.
"Ten thousand, do me a favor." Ling Yi got straight to the point, throwing a bag of money into Song Yanyan's arms.
Song Yanyan made no attempt to hide her greed for money. She opened the bag and glanced inside; at that moment, her eyes seemed to light up.
"This is illegal..."
"Good job, here's another 500,000 for you."
"What is it? Please tell me." Although Song Yanyan was shameless and would do anything for money, she wasn't stupid.
She could tell that this handsome man wasn't interested in her; he just wanted her to do him a favor.
" Song Yanyan, 19 years old, is from Sanhewan Village, Sanhe Town, a suburb of Sanhe Bay Village Qingcheng City. When you were six years old, your father abandoned you and your mother, and since then, you and your mother have depended on each other for survival."
"And your mother, wanting you to have a good life and because she was somewhat attractive, started selling her body in the village. When you were 15, she fell seriously ill and died in the village chief's bed."
Song Yanyan trembled all over, her face turning pale instantly. This was her deepest pain and the darkest place in her heart.
"After entering high school, you grew more and more beautiful, and you also learned how to use your looks and body to gain benefits. In the three years of high school, you had at least thirteen boyfriends, including your homeroom teacher, the dean of students, and the principal."
"But the truth will eventually come out, because two boys got into a fight over you, and your affair was exposed..."
"From then on, your reputation was ruined. You threatened the principal, and with his help, you transferred to a different high school. After that, you behaved yourself a lot and easily got into Qingcheng City University."
Some of these things were discovered by Uncle Li, while others were explained in the original plot of the novel; they were all very detailed.
Song Yanyan is not a good person, but when you touch the dark side of her heart, she still feels pain and anger.
But she didn't react, because she didn't dare, because of the heavy banknotes in her hand.
" Song Yanyan, I know you inside and out. I'm saying all this just to tell you not to try anything funny. As long as you work diligently for me, I guarantee you a life of comfort, driving luxury cars and living in villas!"
"My name is Lin Zhe, the future heir of the Lin Clan in Dragon Capital. Remember that?"
Song Yanyan was startled. She knew the Lin Clan Dragon Capital, of course. The patriarch of the Lin Clan was a frequent television figure.
"Young Master Lin, from this day forward, I am yours."
Ling Yi shook his head, "You're not qualified yet!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he placed a bag of flour in Song Yanyan's hand and then explained his plan.
After hearing Ling Yi's words, Song Yanyan was dumbfounded.
She didn't quite understand why Ling Yi would target a poor boy.
"You need to be meticulous in your actions, choose the right time, leave no evidence, avoid being caught on camera, and ensure no one else sees you. You must have a solid alibi."
"I believe that with your intelligence, you should be able to think of a solution."
"Message me after you've finished. If it fails, you should know the consequences."
Song Yanyan got out of the car, her face deathly pale.
But after looking at the 100,000 yuan in cash in his hand, he broke into an incredibly bright smile.
Although this task is extremely dangerous, if done well, it will be like having a powerful patron.
After sending Song Yanyan away, Ling Yi opened the car window, letting in the scent of Song Yanyan's cosmetics.
Then I dialed Uncle Li's number.
" Uncle Li, how's it going on your end?"
"Haha, I've hired professional makeup artists and actors. I've also got surveillance footage and candid cell phone videos covered. It's guaranteed to be flawless."
"However, Young Master, I don't understand why you're going to such lengths with this kid named Gao Feng? If all else fails..."
" Uncle Li, Gao Feng's the Final Master is called Yan San!"
"Who? Yan San, Wo Cao, Young Master, are you sure it's Yan San, the Yan San from thirty years ago?"
"It's that Yan San, but don't worry, Yan San is already dead."
"But, that Gao Feng..."
Uncle Li still didn't understand why Ling Yi wanted to deal with Gao Feng, Yan San's apprentice. Shouldn't they be befriending him?
"Heh, what can I do? I'm the villain," Ling Yi muttered to himself, before hanging up the phone.
In the original storyline, this villain was constantly humiliated by Gao Feng, and Lin Zhe was often mindlessly sent to be beaten, which was extremely frustrating.
Are villains really so stupid? Ling Yi wanted to see how the Protagonist would react to his combination of attacks.
This was a test—a test of the Protagonist, a test of this world, and a test of the system's rules.
A day later, Song Yanyan did not disappoint Ling Yi Ling Yi and sent him a message saying that it was done.
Coincidentally, at this time, Bai Qianqian took our Protagonist Gao Feng to attend an elder's birthday banquet.
"Heh heh, it's time for me, the villain, to make an appearance!"
Ling Yi had no idea that from the moment he entered the Horned Clan, preparing to become a villain with brains, he had already fully immersed himself in the role.
At this moment, he doesn't need acting skills at all; he is the villain.
The only difference is that this character is different from the mindless, opportunistic villain in the original story.
The villain has shed the Protagonist's Intelligence-Lowering Aura; it remains to be seen whether the Protagonist can withstand it.
The Liu Clan is one of the most prestigious and wealthy families in the Qingcheng City.
For Old Master Liu's birthday celebration, almost all the high-ranking officials in the entire Qingcheng City attended.
Inside the Liu Clan villa, there were over a hundred luxury cars parked there.
At that moment, Ling Yi arrived alone in his sports car at the entrance of the Liu Clan villa.
"Hello sir, please show me your invitation!" The security guard was very respectful; as a security guard for a large family, he naturally had a keen eye for such matters.
People who can afford to drive sports cars worth tens of millions are all big shots.
"Tell the person in charge that Lin Zhe from the Lin family of Longdu has come to offer his birthday greetings."
" Dragon Capital, Young Master Lin Clan, please wait a moment." The security guard took out his walkie-talkie and quickly reported the matter.
A moment later, the security guard respectfully allowed them to pass.
At this moment, Old Master Liu of the Liu Clan naturally also learned of Lin Zhe's arrival.
The Lin Clan Dragon Capital is a behemoth, while the Liu Clan is merely a family that Qingcheng City. In Dragon Capital, they are simply not worth mentioning.
So, the old man, in a wheelchair, was pushed by the current head of the Liu Clan as he left the main hall and personally went to the door to greet them.
As soon as Old Master Liu made a move, everyone else followed suit and came out in a flurry.
This includes Bai Qianqian, and Bai Qianqian Gao Feng, the Protagonist came with her.
Ling Yi hadn't expected the Liu Clan to greet him with such a grand display.
This demonstrates just how powerful and influential the Lin Clan of Dragon Capital was.
How could a villain have such resources but not utilize them, only to be ultimately manipulated into becoming an idiot by the Protagonist?
Sure enough, this kind of thing only happens in the world of novels.
Ling Yi increasingly felt that these kinds of novels that supposedly lowered one's intelligence were really too harmful.
Ling Yi glanced around the room and quickly spotted the Protagonist in the crowd.
The main issue was that the Protagonist, Gao Feng, was dressed too unconventionally, making him stand out from everyone else on set.
A casual shirt and jeans combination, and the worst part is that he's also carrying an old-fashioned green crossbody bag.
Ling Yi knew that this satchel was left to him by Gao Feng's the Final Master, Yan San.
Inside were the Nine Returns Silver Needles used in medical practice, some pills, and a dagger, one of the Protagonist's main weapons, forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron and extremely sharp.
Of course, there's something else in this bag now, but the Protagonist doesn't know it.
Hopefully, the Protagonist can withstand it.
The moment Bai Qianqian saw Ling Yi in the crowd, her face turned deathly pale.
She came to Qingcheng City to attend university to escape this guy, but she never expected that Lin Zhe would still manage to catch up with her here.
"Sir, such a grand gesture makes this junior quite ashamed."
"Young Lin Zhe greets Old Master Liu."
