Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

“Jiang Shao, why are you here?” Chu Tian was about to question Jiang Che when Li Zhenzhen interrupted, looking at Jiang Che excitedly with an abnormal flush on her face.

[TL: i dont know if I have mentioned it before but the use of “Shao” in chinese peoples name signifies a certain level of respect and acknowledgment of the person’s background and position.].

“Do you know me?” Jiang Che asked, glancing at her. He was certain he had never met this woman before, but if she knew his name, she must have heard of him.

“Of course, I know you, Jiang Shao. I am your little wife…cough…no, I’m your little fangirl. It’s hard to find anyone at Linjiang University who doesn’t know you,” Li Zhenzhen said, blushing.

Seeing her unattainable male god in person made her heartbeat quicken with excitement. She hoped to leave a good impression and looked forward to future encounters.

“You’re a student at Linjiang University?” Jiang Che asked, slightly surprised. No wonder she knew him; his reputation as the school heartthrob was well-known.

“Yes, my name is Li Zhenzhen, and I’m a sophomore in the Department of Computer Science.”

“How did you meet this guy?” Jiang Che asked, even though he already knew. He wanted to hear it from her directly, as Li Zhenzhen was the first heroine Chutian picked up in his script.

“I just came to see the apartment with him. He said the rent here is only 200 a month,” Li Zhenzhen answered truthfully.

“Then you’ve been deceived by him. This house might be cheap, but it’s an illegal structure, posing a life-threatening risk. And for 200 yuan a month, don’t you suspect something’s off?” Jiang Che said, subtly exposing Chutian’s scheme.

“This…” Li Zhenzhen thought seriously about it. She hadn’t considered it before, but now it seemed suspicious. If the rent was so low, the place should have been rented out long ago. Why was it still available?

Moreover, Chu Tian had been giving her odd looks along the way. Why had she followed him so blindly? She now realized Chu Tian might be trying to deceive her, a naive college student, and force her into something.

She remembered seeing similar news stories recently and felt grateful for Jiang Che’s warning. Without it, she might have fallen for Chu Tian’s trap.

“Thank you, Senior Jiang, for reminding me. Otherwise, I might have ended up in trouble today,” Li Zhenzhen said sincerely, distancing herself from Chu Tian and looking at him warily. Her heart filled with disgust for Chu Tian, who now seemed deceitful despite his appearance.

“Li Zhenzhen, listen to me. That’s not what I meant!” Chu Tian said, bewildered. Although his intentions were somewhat dubious, how could Jiang Che know his thoughts? And why did Li Zhenzhen believe Jiang Che so easily?

“No need to explain, you old lecher!” Li Zhenzhen retorted with disgust.

“You should leave now and stay away from people like him in the future,” Jiang Che kindly advised, maintaining his pristine image. He had come to deal with Chutian, not to see Li Zhenzhen complain.

“Senior Jiang, can we add each other on WeChat?” Li Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Che expectantly, her eyes filled with hope.

“No problem, I’ll scan your code.”

“Senior Jiang, I’m a sophomore in the Computer Science Department, Class Three. Remember to come and hang out with me when you have time!” After adding Jiang Che’s contact information, Li Zhenzhen left directly. She wasn’t foolish and clearly understood the implication behind Jiang Che’s words.

Continuing to pester him would only make him dislike her. Besides, today wasn’t a waste since she managed to get the contact information of her idol!

“Ding, the host has cut off Chu Tian’s romantic interest, altering the plot, and earning 2000 villain points.”

Chu Tian watched in bewilderment as Li Zhenzhen walked away.

Damn it, the prey he just found ran away like that? Realizing that Jiang Che was behind all this, Chu Tian’s expression turned gloomy.

“Who are you? Why are you targeting me?” He could tell now that this guy was clearly after him, but since returning to China, he had kept a low profile and didn’t recall offending anyone like this.

“Targeting you?”

“Sir, you must be quite self-important. What makes you think someone like you is worth my effort? We’re just doing routine business. If your house is illegally built, it needs to be demolished. And about that woman just now, isn’t that what you had in mind? I’ve seen plenty of scum like you in society!” Jiang Che sneered, looking at Chu Tian disdainfully.

In the book “The King of Killers, I Returned to China to Be a Landlord,” Chu Tian was not a good person. He belonged to the early urban fiction category, where the protagonist is both good and evil, essentially lacking morals.

Some of his actions were so repulsive that even Jiang Che, a villain, couldn’t agree with them, especially since he didn’t have a habit of sleeping with fifty-year-old women…

“You…” Listening to Jiang Che’s mocking words, Chu Tian clenched his fists, his chest heaving with anger.

Right now, he just wanted to kill this guy who was ruining his plans! But obviously, he couldn’t do that. This was Jiuzhou, where killing meant paying with your life, and he had no background connections since returning to the country, unless he wanted to stop living in Jiuzhou.

“Leader, the survey of this community is complete. We can confirm that this is an illegal building and has exceeded its service life.” The lead technician returned to Jiang Che and the others.

He glanced at Chu Tian, whose face had turned ashen. He knew this guy was the owner of the apartment. Even though he had set up Chu Tian, he felt no guilt. After all, this is a world where it’s either eat or be eaten. Moreover, he had done such things before and had no psychological burden about it.

“Good job. Since it’s confirmed, let’s schedule a time to demolish it directly.” Jiang Che praised lightly, left the demolition order, and got up to leave. There was no need to worry about the remaining matters, as Liu Qingsong’s people would handle them. His goal had been achieved.

Jiang Che didn’t pay further attention to Chu Tian. Keeping this guy around could still earn him some villain points, so he didn’t plan to kill him just yet.

“Pack up your things and leave now. We’ll be here to demolish the place tomorrow. Although there won’t be any demolition compensation, we will still give you some compensation.” Liu Qingsong glanced at Chu Tian, gave some instructions, and left.

Of course, the compensation was only a verbal promise. He would drag it out, and eventually, there would be no need to pay.

Chu Tian watched gloomily as the group left, not stopping them. He wasn’t the type to act recklessly. An individual’s power is limited, and he couldn’t fight these related departments. And that young man was clearly targeting him, but Chu Tian couldn’t remember offending such a person.

The apartment couldn’t be saved, and his plan to woo women had to be put on hold. The immediate priority was to find out who this man was and why he was targeting him.

“No matter who you are, I’ll make you pay!”
