Chapter 38: Should We Just Kill Chen Fan?
[Although Zhu Yeqing’s appearance came a bit early, as long as it doesn’t affect the overall plot direction, it’s fine.]
[Based on the timeline, it’s about time anyway. It’s just a few days earlier, and since Li Long will die soon, she’ll enter the game.]
[Tsk tsk, I must admit, her figure is indeed impressive—better than in previous cycles of reincarnation.]
[It’s a shame there aren’t more opportunities to trigger scenes with her. If there were more, how fun would that be?]
[Still, this girl has had a pitiful life, living for revenge her whole life, and in the end, when she dies, she even falls in love with Chen Fan.]
?????
A lot of people were shocked at this moment.
No. 7, who was drinking water, spat it out immediately. “What the hell?”
What’s going on? Does this novel actually have a humane moment? This much attention for a villain? Falling in love?
Zhu Yeqing was also stunned. Fall in love with Chen Fan? How could that be? From the depths of her soul, she despised anyone from the Chen family.
Lin Qingyue frowned. Isn’t Chen Fan supposed to be my personal simp? How could anyone else fall for him?
Jin Lan was completely struck by the absurdity of the situation. What kind of crazy plot twist is this?
Even Ling Yuyan, who was reviewing medical records, glanced at the novel and was startled. This story is getting interesting.
In fact, when guys and girls read novels, guys care more about the results—what they gain. Girls, on the other hand, focus more on the process.
Or, to be more precise, the emotional drama—something girls care much more about.
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]
What’s so funny?
At this moment, Zhu Yeqing wanted to stab Chen Fan to death.
What are you laughing at? Spit it out.
[When the filming wraps up, Chen Fan dies in Zhu Yeqing’s arms, watching Lin Qingyue and the protagonist walk away, silently wiping away his tears.]
[Then Zhu Yeqing carries Chen Fan to a small village in the mountains and buries him.]
Are you kidding me? Am I a masochist? You love Lin Qingyue, and I love you? And then I guard your grave? If I were really with you, when you’re old, I’d dance with other old men right in front of you just to piss you off. Guard your grave? This novel is ridiculous.
Zhu Yeqing was already confused about whether she should even pursue her revenge anymore. If she sought revenge, she’d just be living like a puppet on strings. But if she didn’t seek revenge, where would her future lead? She didn’t know.
At this point, the diary stopped updating.
The information the female leads knew was simple: Li Long would die soon, and the showdown between Chen Fan and Ye Aotian was approaching.
As for Zhu Yeqing’s undercover role, what did it matter if they knew? That was Chen Fan’s business.
But Jin Lan was different. She was a little worried. Lin Qingyue seemed off, and if Zhu Yeqing was also not quite right, what if they really killed Chen Fan?
Wouldn’t things spiral out of control?
So, Jin Lan decided to see for herself.
The two of them drove to the Tingmei Beauty Center.
At this moment, Zhu Yeqing was sitting in the lobby watching a TV drama.
This beauty center was her sole domain. When there were appointments, she’d provide treatments. Otherwise, she’d pass the time watching dramas in her room.
Of course, she knew Chen Fan and Jin Lan would come, but she still had to put on a show.
Pushing the door open, Chen Fan greeted her. “Any customers?”
“Not yet. I’ve been waiting for you, Young Master Chen.”
“Haha, how much is the recharge here? I’ll put some money on it so my boss can enjoy her treatment.”
Zhu Yeqing nodded and exchanged a glance with Jin Lan before leading her to one of the rooms.
Chen Fan, meanwhile, sat outside, crossed his legs, and started playing games.
“This place is a bit small. Zhu Yeqing, do you have any thoughts on following me in the future? Joining my side?”
“That’s a bit fast. Let me think about it, okay?”
Think my foot! I’m giving you the chance to be an undercover agent by my side, and you’re hesitating? What’s the point of all this talk? What do you want, for me to beg you to kill me? Damn it, next time we have an encounter, I’ll electrocute you to death. Whatever. Li Long will die soon, and you’ll come to my side as an undercover agent. It’s just a matter of time.
Inside the room.
Jin Lan undressed and lay down.
Zhu Yeqing, wearing a black qipao and a mask, began to give Jin Lan her beauty treatment, little by little.
“How long have you been in Qincheng?”
“Not long, just a few days.”
“Quite lucky, finding out Chen Fan’s identity, huh?”
“Yes, I know. Young Master Chen, a prominent figure in Qincheng.”
Jin Lan, with her eyes closed, continued, “I’ve heard of a town a few hundred miles away, also home to a Chen family. But they’re a distant branch of the main family.”
“You’re talking about Muguzhen, right? I’m from there.”
“I’ve heard that family was destroyed—most died or fled. The survivors are few, and I heard it was due to internal strife. Do you know anything about that?”
Zhu Yeqing continued her massage and said, “I don’t know much about that. We ordinary folks wouldn’t know the affairs of important families.”
“Hmm, yes. But I heard the conflict was over a woman. Two heirs fought over her. Who do you think that woman was?”
Zhu Yeqing looked at Jin Lan and said, “Leader Jin, are you implying that woman was me?”
“What do you think?”
“It wasn’t me. I don’t have that kind of allure.”
Zhu Yeqing, ever fit for an undercover role, had a truly strong heart.
Jin Lan continued, “Zhu Yeqing is the name of a venomous snake, but it’s also the name of a liquor. I’ve heard that the Zhu family in that town was famous for their liquor, but the Chen family took over and killed many.”
Zhu Yeqing’s hands tightened slightly.
If she wanted to, she could kill Jin Lan right now—silently and without a trace.
She could fight. She wasn’t an ordinary person.
“Thinking of killing me?”
“No, how could I dare? Leader Jin, you’re joking.”
Jin Lan chuckled coldly. “What if that Zhu family had a daughter who grew up and sought revenge? Would she target the Chen family of Qincheng?”
Zhu Yeqing’s hand paused.
“And what do you think? Should she seek revenge?”
