I, the Villain, Accidentally Killed the Protagosint! - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: The Goddess is Also Human, So Her Farts Must Smell Sweet, Self-Preservation Comes Naturally When Interests are at Stake

Zhang Chen indeed had a bit of a dark sense of humor.

Of course, this also proved that he didn’t have any particular feelings for Lin Xi.

This was the kind of person he was.

He only cherished and adored women he was truly interested in.

As for other women?

Sorry, it all depends on his mood.

Hearing the static sound from the phone, Zhang Chen chuckled and wasn’t angry.

“Such a thin-skinned girl,” he muttered.

Zhang Chen smiled faintly. In reality, whether Lin Xi called out to him or not,

he had already decided to tighten the net.

He would eliminate Ye Fan, this child of destiny, as soon as possible.

Only by killing Ye Fan could the subsequent events proceed smoothly and without guilt.

“Zhang San.”

“Young Master, do you have some work for me?”

Zhang San licked his dry lips, grinning as he asked.

He had been with the Zhang family for ten years.

To be honest, he hadn’t thought highly of the young master before.

But the high commissions offered by the Zhang family, along with the favor they had shown him, were what kept him by Zhang Chen’s side.

However, recently…

Zhang San felt as if Zhang Chen had become a completely different person.

Now, he felt like the person he was following suited his taste much better.

“Watch your language, what do you mean by ‘work’? Read more books,” Zhang Chen scolded with a smile, then said, “Arrange for some people to lie in ambush at Jiangdong University.”

“Is the Young Master finally going to take action against that kid?”

Zhang San immediately understood the reason.

He was excited.

He had wanted to do this earlier, but Zhang Chen wouldn’t allow it.

“Whether we take action ourselves is not certain, you just need to prepare,” Zhang Chen said.

Actually, Zhang Chen wasn’t too sure whether Ye Fan’s luck had truly reached rock bottom.

After all, without a concrete indicator, everything had to rely on speculation.

“Alright, I’ll get ready! By the way, the new guys you got through the Demon Slayer Department have arrived, we can try them out.”

Zhang San was excited and eager.

Of course, the ‘new guys’ he referred to were rather special things.

Though the Zhang family was immensely powerful, some things simply couldn’t be obtained directly.

So, getting them through the Demon Slayer Department made things much easier.

After all, they were a privileged department.

“Go ahead, but remember, don’t act without my orders.”

“Got it!”

Zhang Chen wasn’t worried about things going wrong.

After all, he had recently discovered that Zhang San was indeed a capable subordinate.

He handled everything well.

For daily matters, Steward Liu was in charge, while Zhang San took care of the things that couldn’t be publicly dealt with.

Zhang Chen just needed to oversee the overall situation.

After making these arrangements, Zhang Chen directly called Director Wei.

“Brother Wei, Ye Fan has arranged to meet Lin Xi at Jiangdong University.”

He got straight to the point.

In the Demon Slayer Department’s Jiangdong branch office,

Director Wei immediately understood what was going on and replied, “Got it! I’ll arrange manpower immediately.”

“Thanks, Brother Wei.”

“You’re too kind, this is part of my job! But…”

Director Wei suddenly shifted his tone, “What about Miss Lin?”

Zhang Chen pretended not to understand and smiled, “Lin Xi? Don’t worry about her, just do what needs to be done, she’s just a woman.”

I don’t believe you for a second!

Director Wei wasn’t a fool, so of course, he didn’t believe Zhang Chen’s words.

But on the surface, he still smiled and said, “Understood, we’ll do our best to ensure Miss Lin’s safety.”

After their conversation ended,

Director Wei quickly began making arrangements and also called the head of the Jiangdong City Police.

He essentially asked them to assist by locking down the area and controlling the surrounding environment.

If they needed to take action, it was naturally better for the police to handle it rather than the Demon Slayer Department.

Unless it was an exceptional case, the Demon Slayer Department usually didn’t get involved directly.

Everything was being arranged methodically.

Lin Hongyang squinted his eyes.

“Jiangdong University?”

“Yes, our people are shadowing them.”

Ever since receiving that strange text message,

Lin Hongyang had naturally investigated everything.

It didn’t take long for him to find the owner of the number.

After all, he had spent ten years in hiding, accumulating power and resources.

“I’ll have to see how this kid handles things,” Lin Hongyang sneered,

touching the scar on his face that was left from the burns he endured ten years ago.

That scar served as a constant reminder of the life-or-death situation he escaped.

His subordinates drove smoothly into Jiangdong University.

No one seemed to care about the presence of the strangers.

After all, it was a well-known university with a constant flow of people.

Who would be curious about a few unfamiliar faces?

Ye Fan had no idea how many people were watching him now.

He arrived at the milk tea shop he frequented.

He glanced at the time several times.

“Stay calm, don’t panic, I can do this!”

Ye Fan encouraged himself.

Then, based on his previous observations, he ordered Lin Xi’s favorite drink—succulent grape juice.

I must say,

Ye Fan, the child of destiny, was indeed a bit of a warm guy in some ways.

But unfortunately…

Soon, Lin Xi appeared at the entrance of the milk tea shop.

Ye Fan saw her and felt a flash of admiration.

Yes!

Even though it wasn’t their first meeting, Ye Fan still thought Lin Xi was beautiful.

Don’t ask why.

For a ‘simpering dog’ like him, his goddess was perfect in every way.

“Lin Xi!”

He waved toward the door.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment before walking over.

She had clearly put a lot of effort into her appearance before leaving the house.

But the truth was, this effort wasn’t for Ye Fan—it was for Zhang Chen.

She just didn’t want to admit or realize it yet.

And she had been secretly looking around, as if searching for Zhang Chen.

“Where’s he? Why hasn’t he come?”

Lin Xi felt a bit anxious and nervous inside.

After all, Zhang Chen had promised to help her.

“Lin Xi, here’s your favorite succulent grape juice.”

Ye Fan noticed Lin Xi seemed a little distracted, but didn’t think much of it.

He assumed Lin Xi was still upset over what happened the night before.

So he took the initiative to speak, “About last night…”

“Ye Fan, I always thought of you as a friend, but why did you do this?”

Before Ye Fan could finish, Lin Xi interrupted him.

Her tone carried a hint of questioning and anger.

Yes!

She had considered Ye Fan a friend, but what about him?

Now, she was nearly at her wit’s end!

Abandoned by her family, forced to bow down before the people she once hated.

How could she not be angry?

Why?

Ye Fan opened his mouth, but for a moment, didn’t know how to explain himself.

As for being friends?

Sorry, Ye Fan had never planned to be friends with Lin Xi.

He had more greedy and vile thoughts in mind.

Of course, the child of destiny’s thoughts couldn’t be described as vile, right?

After all, who could blame him?

“Sorry!”

Ye Fan forced a bitter smile and quickly added, “But I have my reasons!”

“Alright, I’m listening.”

Lin Xi’s gaze turned cold, so cold that Ye Fan’s heart seemed to freeze.

Reasons?

What reasons?

Of course, when the child of destiny said he had reasons, he must have had them.

Usually, people around him would be moved by his eloquent words.

In the end, they would lower their intelligence and believe him.

Ye Fan calmed his emotions.

Then he began explaining.

“My little sister…”

He spoke eloquently, his words filled with sincerity, sounding deeply touching.

In short,

Everything he did had a reason, and he never intended to harm anyone.

It was all for the sake of saving his only family.

After finally finishing his explanation, Ye Fan gazed at his goddess with genuine, burning eyes.

“Lin Xi, I know this will put you in a difficult position, but to save Yi Yi, I had no other choice.”

Still the same old story.

What would a child of destiny need to explain to others?

Using a phrase from a novel Zhang Chen had read before crossing over,

“I, XX, live my life the way I choose, who needs to explain to outsiders!”

When it came to the goddess he admired, though,

the child of destiny’s character wouldn’t let him just laugh coldly.

Hurting innocent people?

What does it have to do with him?

It was just bad luck for those people.

Ye Fan had a bitter smile on his face, his eyes full of regret.

“If you blame me, I won’t explain more. After all, I did hurt you.”

Lin Xi almost wanted to curse.

She nearly confronted him directly!

And yet, she had to fight to suppress the rage inside her.

Moreover, it must be said,

The child of destiny seemed to have a natural ability to brainwash others.

His sincere emotional display truly had an impact.

For a moment, Lin Xi almost felt her heart soften.

She almost chose to forgive and understand him.

Even now,

Lin Xi took a deep breath and then looked up at Ye Fan.

“Fine, I don’t blame you for wanting to save your sister, but why destroy the research lab?”

If the research lab hadn’t been destroyed and reduced to rubble,

how could she have ended up in this situation?

Abandoned by her family, once the high and mighty young lady,

now reduced to this?

Ye Fan was speechless, “Actually…”

But Lin Xi interrupted him,

“Why didn’t you just tell me the truth from the start?”

“If you had told me the truth, I would have tried to help!”

Based on Lin Xi’s personality and her role, plus the child of destiny’s words,

there was a 70-80% chance she would have helped him.

But it could only be said that a small misstep led to a big mistake.

Ye Fan’s misplaced confidence led him to choose another way.

“It’s my fault for not thinking things through! But…”

“Ye Fan! I don’t want to hear any more excuses. I considered you a friend, but you’ve caused me to be blamed by my family, and even…”

Even my life?

Ye Fan instinctively sensed something was wrong.

But Lin Xi cut him off and stared at him with cold eyes, no longer soft.

There was now a palpable distance and frost in her gaze.

“Lin Xi!”

“I’m sorry about your sister, but you stole the Lin Family’s research and patented medicine!”

Lin Xi’s eyes were cold, laced with anger, “Ye Fan! I hope you turn yourself in!”

The goddess was still human, and humans had their selfish sides.

Why should she bear the burden of something she shouldn’t?

Tomorrow, it’ll be on the shelves.

The data is dismal, not even qualifying for sympathy.

No 7,000 collections, no 3,000 flowers, no evaluation votes or reviews…

Of course, I didn’t write well enough, and it’s my fault for not keeping people interested.

The book was released on the 1st, and today is the 12th, which averages to 10,000 words per day.

Not fast enough, I’ll try to update more after it goes on the shelves. The plot is also approaching the critical moment of capturing and eliminating the child of destiny, Ye Fan.

This kid… he won’t last many more chapters!

How will he die? Well, he definitely won’t die easily, so stay tuned!
