Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

“You want to play the hero?” the hooligan sneered, turning to look at Ye Tian.

“I’m not trying to be a hero; I just don’t like your behavior,” Ye Tian replied calmly. He would never reveal his true intentions. That would make him no different from these hooligans.

“Then let’s see if you’re capable,” the hooligan sneered again, grabbing a beer bottle and smashing it towards Ye Tian’s head.

Ye Tian caught the hooligan’s wrist just as the bottle was about to hit him, causing the hooligan to cry out in pain and drop the bottle.

Ye Tian released him without a fight. With his previous experiences, he knew the difference between being the aggressor and defending himself.

He was waiting for the hooligans to hit him first so he could retaliate. As expected, the hooligan swung at Ye Tian, who finally struck back.

“This is what you asked for!” Ye Tian coldly laughed, tossing the hooligan away with a shoulder throw. The hooligan landed on a nearby table, bleeding and howling in pain.

The rest of the hooligans rushed at Ye Tian, who swiftly knocked them down. The scene terrified the young girl, who watched Ye Tian apprehensively, fearing she might be next.

The commotion attracted the attention of the bar’s patrons. The security staff approached Ye Tian.

“Did you start this fight?” the head of security asked, looking at Ye Tian and then at the groaning hooligans on the floor.

“Yes, but they attacked first,” Ye Tian said, unafraid to meet the security guard’s gaze.

“In our bar, we have rules. You need to come with us and explain this to our boss,” the security chief said, signaling two guards to escort Ye Tian away.

“What if I refuse?” Ye Tian frowned, scoffing.

“Then we’ll have to take you by force,” the security chief replied with a cold laugh, indicating that no one could break their rules. He attacked Ye Tian, leading to another chaotic fight.

During the chaos, the young woman Ye Tian had helped slipped away, deeply affected by the night’s events.

Ye Tian, frustrated at having lost his target, became enraged. He slapped the security chief away and did the same to several other guards. He tried to follow the woman, but she had already disappeared.

“Damn it!” Ye Tian cursed under his breath, infuriated by the night’s turn of events.

Ye Tian was left fuming when his carefully chosen target slipped away. “How could she just run off like that? How infuriating!” he thought.

Suddenly, a seductive and enchanting voice spoke near Ye Tian’s ear, startling him. He looked up and was dumbfounded.

The woman in front of him wore a knee-length black cheongsam, her eyebrows as graceful as distant mountains, her lips red and teeth white, and her eyes captivating.

Her high heels and the alluring smile on her face mesmerized him. Her voice was so enticing it could almost make one pregnant just by listening.

This stunning woman was Gu Yunqi. She had been watching the events unfold from her private booth on the second floor.

Initially, she didn’t care much, assuming Ye Tian was just another man trying to play hero. But upon closer observation, she realized he wasn’t ordinary; he must be a martial artist with at least dark energy level skills.

Seeing Ye Tian captivated by her beauty, Gu Yunqi felt a mix of disdain and satisfaction. “Men are all the same,” she thought.

“Hey, handsome, stop staring or your eyes might fall out,” Gu Yunqi teased.

Embarrassed, Ye Tian pulled his gaze away, asking, “Are you the owner here?”

“Yes, you’ve damaged my property and hurt my people. How do you plan to compensate?” she asked playfully.

“I don’t have any money…” Ye Tian admitted awkwardly, his face turning red.

“How about you work off your debt here?” Gu Yunqi suggested, amused by his response. She had already considered recruiting him, given his evident martial skills.

“Of course, I agree!” Ye Tian accepted without hesitation. Attracted by Gu Yunqi’s appearance, he had already considered staying.

He thought to himself, “After losing Lin Xiyin and Su Qingzhu, I’ve found Gu Yunqi, who is just as attractive. Maybe I, Ye Tian, am truly the chosen one.”

He began fantasizing about a happy future with Gu Yunqi, imagining marriage, children, and a peaceful life at the foot of Panlong Mountain after a hundred years…

As Ye Tian indulged in wild fantasies of supporting each other with Gu Yunqi, expanding his power, and eventually challenging the Jiang family, Gu Yunqi frowned in disappointment.

Initially, she thought Ye Tian could be a valuable asset, but now she doubted his intellect.

“Since that’s the case, you’ll be the head of security here,” Gu Yunqi decided, asking his name.

“I’m Ye Tian.”

“From now on, Ye Tian will be your head of security,” she announced to the injured guards before leaving somewhat disinterestedly. Ye Tian might not be of great use, but he could serve as a decent watchdog.

Watching her graceful departure, Ye Tian’s heart fluttered, and he fell back into his sweet daydreams until a call from a guard brought him back to reality.

“Captain, should we clean up here first?” The former head of security, now standing awkwardly with a forced smile, knew he had to placate Ye Tian to avoid future trouble.

“You guys clean up,” Ye Tian ordered, sitting aside to drink. The chaotic scene soon returned to normal, with various women dancing and Ye Tian casually observing them.

The next day, at the Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Le listened to Ah Long’s report about Ye Tian becoming a security guard for Gu Yunqi. He found Ye Tian’s obsession with the job quite peculiar.

“Keep monitoring Ye Tian,” Jiang Che instructed Ah Long, who then respectfully left.

Jiang Che frowned in thought. It seemed he had to make a move against Ye Tian, who was practically inviting him to strike.

He sent a message to Gu Yunqi:

[I’ll visit the Blue Tune Bar at 8 tonight. Remember to wait for me!].
