Seventh Security Bureau: Ningzhi - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

My brother is a strange man. The strangest thing is, he’s not human.

Originally, he wasn’t my brother but my fiancé. But with a tragic backstory-parents dead, my mom’s best friend tearfully adopted me-the childhood betrothal turned into a sibling relationship. To which my brother said: “I give up.”

When I turned twenty, a System appeared in my body. The System said my brother is the male lead in a novel, and I’m the Villainess.

[Lin Heng is the Crown Prince of the Beijing Circle, but he fell for a soft, delicate beauty. He chases, she runs, and neither can escape.]

I was speechless. “Then who am I?”

The System: [You’re the Villainess.]

Me: “???”

Not even an NPC could define me-did I have to be a part of the main couple’s drama?

The System said that for the sake of that soft female lead, my brother would kill me and anger our parents to death. I didn’t understand. I was utterly shocked. I raised my hand and asked, “If my brother kills someone, isn’t that against the law? We’re all law-abiding citizens!”

What kind of outlaw storyline is this?

The System crashed for three seconds, then told me I had to follow the plot or it would erase me. It must have been crazy.

The System said my brother is the Crown Prince of the Beijing Circle. I didn’t really trust its judgment.

No crown prince would haggle in a wet market.

My brother and the market auntie were evenly matched, both masters of their craft. Their argument over a fish made the very skies tremble.

The System, inside me, made a snide remark: [The female lead is about to appear.]

Me: “For real?”

Sure enough, the next second, a beauty walked out from behind the fish stall. She wore a pinkish-white qipao, and her Mary Jane heels were studded with pearls, adding a touch of gentleness. She blushed before even speaking.

“Sorry, sir. Our store doesn’t offer discounts.”

My brother frowned. “Really not possible?”

The beauty in the qipao lowered her eyes. “Don’t bully me.”

My brother shook his head. “Forget it, sis. Let me take you somewhere else. They won’t even knock off one yuan; we’re not buying.”

Both the System and the female lead were stunned.

The System: [He just left??? Shouldn’t he have used his power to make the female lead yield, and then her defiance would stubbornly catch his attention?]

Its big face was filled with big confusion.

I cursed the System inwardly: “You moron.”

Why use power to buy a fish? The majestic carp in the Beijing Circle’s power play?

But I was still a little worried. I caught up to my brother and asked carefully, “Brother, don’t you think that fish seller was a bit different?”

He nodded. “Yeah, different.”

My heart trembled. Could this be the fateful entanglement between the male and female leads?

My brother continued, “She’s such an idiot, selling fish in a white dress. She must get blood all over-like a dismemberment scene.”

I almost burst out laughing, then pressed, “Don’t you think she’s delicate and beautiful?”

My brother turned his head to look at me as if I were crazy. “Can she be better-looking than a fish? Lin Yuwei, I think you’re not right in the head today.”

“You’re the one who’s not right!”

I shouldn’t have asked!
