Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chapter 33: Is There Any Need to Collaborate with This Protagonist?

Zhu Yeqing was very clever. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t have been able to gradually bring down a small family through her own means.

From last night’s events, she had sharply noticed that Ling Yuyan definitely had no feelings for Ye Aotian and seemed to have some curiosity towards Chen Fan. However, she couldn’t understand why Ye Aotian was so confident.

In his words, it felt as though Ye Aotian believed Ling Yuyan liked him.

In fact, Zhu Yeqing’s guess was correct. On his way back, Ye Aotian sent Ling Yuyan a message, saying “Thank you.”

That made Ling Yuyan so furious that she confirmed for the third time that this protagonist was beyond saving. Damn it, was everyone just playing along with your act?

Ye Aotian had thought a lot about the events of the previous night.

He didn’t believe that there could be such a coincidence. Even though his engagement with Ling Yuyan had been called off, Ye Aotian felt that Ling Yuyan was still interested in him. Otherwise, why would she try to stop him like that?

It must be because she was afraid he would kill Chen Fan and get himself into trouble. Indeed, this woman was all talk but no action. He hadn’t expected her to be such a thief—it was truly amusing.

If Chen Fan knew what Ye Aotian was thinking, he would have probably laughed himself to death. Moreover, Ye Aotian wasn’t about to let Chen Fan off the hook so easily. He immediately had his men spread the news.

“Dragon King, we’ve already made contact with Li Long. Many people have decided to pledge allegiance to you.”

“Very good. Keep it up. I want Li Long to become my stepping stone.”

“Understood.”

Ye Aotian had his own plans. Simply killing Li Long wouldn’t get him anything, but turning Li Long’s forces into his own was the real start of securing his foothold.

Surprisingly, many of Li Long’s men already had thoughts of betraying him.

At the villa, Chen Fan looked at the handcuffs in front of him, nodding in satisfaction. However, he still had to show some panic.

“Do you know who I am? You dare arrest me? Do you believe I can have you all fired by tomorrow?”

Everyone looked at Chen Fan with disdain. But still, they had to take him away. After all, everyone who had survived the room had to be brought in for questioning.

Zhu Yeqing wasn’t exempt either.

Once inside the detention center, Chen Fan found a relatively comfortable spot, leaned back, and enjoyed his life. His phone was confiscated, so there was no way he could send any messages.

That’s why he needed to write his diary in advance.

“Looks like I’ll be stuck here for a whole day.”

The plot here was actually quite simple. In the original story, it was indeed Ye Aotian who killed Li Wenqiang, but it didn’t happen in the room. It happened in a private booth at a bar.

So when Jin Lan said they should go to the hall during their visit to the bar, it made Chen Fan a little worried about whether the plot would still unfold.

But when Li Wenqiang said they were going to the villa, Chen Fan had a vague sense that the story was back on track.

This segment required Li Wenqiang’s death and Chen Fan being framed. As long as that happened, it didn’t matter where it occurred. The plot had unfolded as expected, and that was enough.

Still, Chen Fan had to shout a bit.

“You just wait! When I get out, none of you will be able to escape.”

The police officers couldn’t care less. They knew quite a bit about the affairs of Young Master Chen.

But we follow the rules—so what if you shout? Indeed, a useless rich kid.

Chen Fan’s imprisonment stirred the emotions of many people, and the ever-watchful No. 7 easily hacked into any surveillance system. Seeing Chen Fan sitting in the detention center, legs crossed, humming a tune, No. 7 couldn’t help but laugh.

This guy was really interesting. He knew how to enjoy life.

Lin Qingyue, upon hearing the news of Chen Fan’s arrest, didn’t believe it at first. But when she saw it was true, she was dumbfounded.

How could it be? Was there really someone in Qincheng who dared arrest Chen Fan? Were they insane?

Jin Lan was furious. What was going on? It was real.

Chen Fan’s diary mentioned that he would get arrested, but Jin Lan found it impossible to believe. She held the top position—how could they dare arrest her people?

No respect for her at all.

Even in the dumbest of novels, things should follow some logic, right?

But it had happened. And it even made the news. Had Ye Aotian made his move? Had the real plot begun? Interesting, very interesting.

Jin Lan stood up and instructed her driver to take her to the police station.

This time, she decided to interfere with the plot. There were many reasons for this, but mostly it was about her pride.

Arrest my people? Do you have a death wish?

Lin Qingyue had planned to attend a meeting, but after the events of the previous night, she had developed a stronger aversion to Ye Aotian. So she decided to do something.

She hated Ye Aotian. The idea of everything unfolding according to his plans irritated her.

Ling Yuyan was also shocked. Damn, he really got arrested. How impressive—this novel’s setting.

Remembering Ye Aotian’s narcissism from the previous night, Ling Yuyan felt she couldn’t let things continue to develop like this.

At this moment, Ye Aotian had also woken up. Upon seeing the news of Chen Fan’s arrest, he laughed wildly.

“Hahaha, this is just the appetizer.”

“Song Ming, how is everything progressing?”

Song Ming tapped on the keyboard and replied, “It’s pretty much done. The money has already been transferred.”

“Very good. Don’t let it slip. Do things quietly.”

“Boss, is Lin Qingyue really that important to you?”

Ye Aotian smiled wickedly and said, “Of course. I only had a good impression of her before, but now that Chen Fan has provoked me, I’ll make Chen Fan’s favorite woman mine.”

“Hahaha.”

Song Ming also laughed and said, “Is there any woman who wouldn’t give face to you, Boss? If so, she’s definitely missing out. She has no idea who you are, Dragon King.”

At that moment, someone walked in and whispered something to Ye Aotian.

Ye Aotian couldn’t believe it and said, “Impossible. What did you say? Say that again!”

“Chen Fan has been bailed out. The one who bailed him out is Lin Qingyue.”

Ye Aotian looked at Song Ming.

Song Ming said helplessly, “Boss, the money has already been transferred.”
