How to Turn a Gutless Honest Man into a Darkened Villain - Chapter 3

Over the next few days, I settled down quite a bit.

After apologizing to the male and female leads, I didn’t ask any further about how Ying Jue handled things afterward.

In order to let me exit the stage reasonably, the System said it would arrange a car accident in a few days.

Then I’d be able to successfully fake my death and return to the original world.

After listening, I nodded.

I no longer had to grit my teeth and do missions, and I no longer had to bully and order around the villain.

I instantly felt much more relaxed.

Even when I caught him transferring a large sum of money again to the parents who had abused him, I merely withdrew my gaze calmly.

Ying Jue pressed his lips together and explained to me,

“My dad had a sudden heart attack. He needs money for surgery.”

After hearing that, I no longer threw a tantrum like before. Instead, I said sincerely,

“Oh, okay. I hope his surgery goes smoothly.”

Ying Jue’s movements paused. “Are you unhappy?”

I shook my head. “No. If your parents being healthy can make you happy, then I hope they can stay healthy forever.”

“That way, you can be happy too.”

Over the past few days, I had thought it over carefully.

Everyone had their own way of living. In any case, I was going back to the real world, and everything in the book would have nothing to do with me anymore.

Ying Jue lowered his eyes to look at the person in front of him, feeling that lately she had become so sensible it made his heart ache.

An infinite tenderness could not help but rise in his heart.

Ying Jue thought for a moment, then said,

“Baby, I’ll take you out to have some fun in a couple of days, okay?”

I blinked, and following the principle of enjoying myself as much as possible before leaving, I agreed very readily,

“Sure.”

After we finished having fun, the System should arrange my fake death.

However.

On the day we went out, what caught both me and the System completely off guard was this:

Ying Jue’s younger brother, who was supposed to be far away in Africa, had secretly returned to the country.

He hijacked my car and kidnapped me directly.

Ying Yu took me to a dilapidated house on a barren mountain.

Then he called Ying Jue:

“If you want to ransom her, give me 20% of the group’s shares.”

20%!

I hadn’t expected Ying Yu to demand such an outrageous amount.

And I knew that with Ying Jue’s personality, he would definitely agree right away.

Subconsciously, my heart ached a little.

If Ying Jue lost 20% of the shares, how much less money would he get?

That money would be enough for me to buy so many bags and pieces of jewelry!

I was so angry I opened my mouth to curse Ying Yu, and even wanted to curse Ying Jue on the other end of the phone along with him.

I was furious! This was all Ying Jue’s fault!

If he hadn’t been softhearted back then, would I have ended up kidnapped by his younger brother?

The System also said urgently:

[Host, don’t worry. I will protect your safety.]

Hearing the System’s voice, I suddenly came back to my senses.

I was about to return to the original world soon.

Even if Ying Yu wanted 100% of the shares, it would have nothing to do with me anymore.

Since my fake death had to be arranged anyway, why not take advantage of this moment?

My eyes lit up.

This was a perfect opportunity.

And although Ying Jue was an honest man, he had been bullied by my bad temper for a full five years.

If he learned he could be rid of me, he should also feel relieved.

So I stopped cursing and said straightforwardly to the System:

[No need to protect me anymore. I’m planning to fake my death now. Get ready to teleport me.]

The System thought about it and realized this was indeed more convenient.

So it agreed.

After Ying Yu finished the call, afraid of being located and tracked, he dragged me along to change locations again.

He hid here and there, and in the end, chose the edge of a cliff.

Ying Yu held a knife in his hand, dragged me to the cliff, and said with a sinister grin,

“Here it is. If Ying Jue dares to play any little tricks, I’ll kill the hostage right away and push you down.”

As he spoke, he held the phone in front of me and ordered,

“Come on. Act miserable for him. Make him hurry up and transfer the shares to me, and I’ll spare your life.”

With that, he tapped on the voice recording.

I sniffled. After holding back my temper for so long, I still couldn’t restrain myself, and I said fiercely to the person on the other end,

“Ying Jue, I really hate you to death.”

Ying Yu let go, and the voice message was sent successfully.

He frowned in dissatisfaction and said,

“I told you to act miserable, not throw a tantrum.”

“Hurry up. Send him another miserable-sounding one… Hey, what are you doing?!”

Amid Ying Yu’s startled cry, I turned around directly.

And jumped down.

The feeling of weightlessness instantly swept over me, mixed with the howling wind.

I heard the System say:

[About to teleport back to the real world.]

[Teleportation successful.]
