After Sneaking a Peek at the Script, All the Heroines Support My Rise to Power!

Chapter 9: The Cold Goddess, Shen Monong!:

Just as Jiang Bai and Tang Qing were about to enter the door, a loud rumble suddenly sounded behind them.

Turning their heads, they saw a delivery truck speeding toward them. 

On the dangerously steep mountain road, the truck was somehow managing a terrifying speed of 160 km/h!

Screech!

Before the truck even came to a full stop, a bloodied Tang Zhong jumped out of the driver’s seat.

“Brother, keep the change!” he shouted, tossing a 1000-yuan bill toward the driver.

Tang Zhong then gritted his teeth against the pain in his groin and strode over. 

Behind him, the driver slumped in the passenger seat, vomiting and staring at Tang Zhong in disbelief.

“How on earth did you catch up to a sports car with a delivery van?!” the driver gasped, his eyes wide with awe.

Tang Zhong flicked his hair back and smiled sharply. “Here’s my contact. If you want to experience that again, give me a call. I’ll take you for a real midnight ride…”

Before Tang Zhong could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped talking.

He raised his head and saw the bizarre expressions on everyone’s faces. Instinctively, he slapped his face.

‘Damn it! How did I end up saying something like that?’

Seeing this, Jiang Bai’s mouth twitched slightly.

According to the original plot, Tang Qing should have been sitting in the passenger seat, and the driver’s line should have been directed at her.

It was precisely this miraculous driving skill that piqued Tang Qing’s interest in Tang Zhong, gradually drawing her in. 

But now, with the person making the comment being a middle-aged male driver, the entire scene could only be described with one word: cringe.

Extremely cringe!

“Please don’t misunderstand, everyone! This is all just a misunderstanding!” Tang Zhong tried to explain.

To his surprise, Tang Qing’s expression remained calm as she said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Tang. I won’t take it to heart.”

Tang Zhong let out a sigh of relief.

But then, Tang Qing added with a shift in tone, “However, Mr. Tang, I do hope you can exercise some restraint in the future. Gender freedom doesn’t mean Old Master Tang would approve.”

After that, she walked away, no longer paying attention to Tang Zhong, whose face had now turned as red as a pig’s liver!

Tang Zhong’s face contorted for a long time before he finally turned to Jiang Bai and said, “Jiang Bai, I will repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold someday!”

Jiang Bai, who had just been enjoying the spectacle, suddenly froze.

‘What the heck? I’m just a bystander here! Why is everything being thrown onto me?’

‘Am I doomed to be the scapegoat just because I’m the villain?’

With that thought, Jiang Bai suddenly felt more at ease.

‘Hate me! Yes, hate me all you want!’

‘The more you hate me, the closer I get to returning home!’

Maintaining his perfect villain persona, Jiang Bai smiled warmly and said righteously, “A true gentleman seeks revenge immediately. Why don’t we settle this by seeing who can cure Miss Shen’s androphobia first? Whoever succeeds wins, and the loser must serve the winner for three days. What do you say?”

Curing androphobia?

‘Now that’s my specialty!’ Tang Zhong thought, momentarily taken aback. He instinctively touched the ring on his finger, and his expression grew more confident.

As long as he could get close enough to Shen Monong, victory was guaranteed!

‘With the help of this ring, I don’t care if you’re some virtuous woman or a cold-hearted nun—I’ll make you fall!’

Seeing the competition heating up, Tang Qing added, “In that case, gentlemen, please follow me to Miss Shen’s villa.”

Before long, under Tang Qing’s guidance, Jiang Bai and Tang Zhong arrived outside a traditional courtyard.

Through the gap in the iron gate, both Jiang Bai and Tang Zhong were immediately captivated—not by the scenery, but by the breathtaking beauty inside.

They saw a woman carefully watering flowers in the garden. Her eyes were gentle and soft, as if she was tending to something she deeply cherished.

She wore a light, embroidered silk loungewear set. Her height was easily 1.7 meters. Perhaps due to her slightly bent posture, her chest seemed to sway with her movements, two “deep-water bombs” that looked ready to fall at any moment.

She was gorgeous, tall, and enchantingly seductive—truly a woman made for the world!

What made her even more captivating was that she appeared to be around 26 or 27 years old. Her face and figure held no trace of youthful inexperience. 

She was the kind of woman who would understand your intentions with just a slap on the butt, responding with the right moves. She wouldn’t be like some naive young girl, who’d scold you as a pervert.

An absolute mature beauty!

There was no doubt—this was another one of those “queenly” women!

A perfect goddess!

Tang Zhong’s body tensed, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes. He had already investigated Shen Monong’s background before coming here. As the third-generation heir of the Shen family, she was the most gifted in business. The Shen family patriarch had gradually been handing over their vast business empire to her.

This meant that if he could win her over, the Shen family’s wealth and influence would fall into his hands as well!

Such a victory would bring him one step closer to becoming the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley!

What thrilled Tang Zhong even more was that the closer he got to Shen Monong, the hotter the ring on his finger became.

This meant that Shen Monong was overflowing with pure yin energy!

Once he absorbed all that energy, the benefits he’d gain were unimaginable.

This woman… to take her as a concubine would bring endless pleasure!

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Tang Zhong’s smile grew wider. He was determined to act with the utmost charm and grace this time.

Having learned from his previous mistakes on the train, Tang Zhong had thoroughly analyzed the events. 

Despite being superior to Jiang Bai in every way, he had ended up losing miserably.

After serious reflection, Tang Zhong had finally reached a conclusion: he had been too careless and had let Jiang Bai make the first move! 

By treating Bai Su’s cold toxin, Jiang Bai had robbed him of the opportunity to showcase his medical skills.

This critical step had caused his image in everyone’s eyes to plummet.

Life was like chess: whoever made the first move held the advantage. And to ensure fairness in competition, in some games, the first player had to give a handicap afterward.

But life wasn’t a game. No one would give you a handicap!

“This time, I’ll make the first move!”

With that, Tang Zhong knocked lightly on the iron gate.

The knocking sound was just right—not too loud, not too soft—enough to be heard but not annoying.

Shen Monong, who was watering flowers, turned around and glared at Tang Zhong after being disturbed.

Just that single glare sent half of Tang Zhong’s fiery enthusiasm plummeting.

Cold!

It was a bone-chilling coldness!

Who knew what kind of cruel experiences this woman had been through? 

Her gaze was like an extremely sharp ice blade, making people feel as though they had fallen into a frozen abyss, chills running through their hearts.

But the colder she was, the more Tang Zhong’s desire intensified! 

A woman like this—a cold goddess—would be even more satisfying to conquer, wouldn’t she?

With this thought, the desire in Tang Zhong’s eyes grew even hotter. He raised a smile and spoke sincerely, “Miss Shen, you’re sick.”

“You’re the one who’s sick!” Shen Monong’s face remained cold, exuding a bone-chilling aura, as she strode toward him.

The closer she got, the more Tang Zhong could appreciate her stunning beauty.

“Miss Shen, if you let me come in and examine you, I’m sure I can cure your illness.” Tang Zhong said, quickly opening his left hand to reveal a shiny ring, which he began to sway in front of her.

Hypnosis!

Seeing this, Jiang Bai immediately understood what Tang Zhong was trying to do.

Clearly, Tang Zhong had realized that using straightforward methods wouldn’t work, so he had resorted to sneaky tactics!

In fact, that was exactly what Tang Zhong was thinking. He believed that on the train, his inability to touch Bai Su and use the ring’s power was what gave Jiang Bai the upper hand. This time, Tang Zhong intended to take full control!

Tang Zhong was confident that once he used his hypnosis technique, confusing Shen Monong would be as easy as pie!

Sure enough, as Shen Monong’s gaze followed the swaying pendant, she suddenly paused.

Tang Zhong’s heart leapt—he had succeeded!

Today, he would reach the pinnacle of his life!

At this moment, outside the door, Jiang Bai followed the plot’s script, mocking Tang Zhong, “Tang Zhong, stop wasting your time!”

“Do you really think you can make Monong open the door for you with your amateur skills?”

“From where I’m standing, it’d be a miracle if you don’t get your hand caught in the door!”

According to the plot, Shen Monong was supposed to open the door for Tang Zhong and smile beautifully. Meanwhile, Jiang Bai would be driven away, bringing the second chapter to a close. And then, Jiang Bai would get a break.

Awesome! So awesome!

Jiang Bai was feeling increasingly excited. Bring it on! Let the storm come harder!

However, Jiang Bai didn’t know that when Shen Monong heard him casually call her “Monong” from behind the door, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

This smile sent Tang Zhong’s heart racing even more.

She smiled! This cold goddess actually smiled at him!

Good! This was good!

Today was the day for celebration!

Just as Tang Zhong was getting closer and closer, Shen Monong placed her hand on the door. Tang Zhong could hardly contain his excitement. He even turned around to give Jiang Bai a smug look, saying, “Jiang Bai, sorry, but I win this round!”

The arrogance on Tang Zhong’s face grew, while Jiang Bai’s smile widened.

‘Yes, yes! Please win quickly! I can’t wait to take a break!’

Bang!

A loud, heavy sound echoed as Shen Monong slammed the door shut. Right on time, Tang Zhong’s arm got caught in the door.

The intense pain silenced Tang Zhong immediately.

Looking at his bleeding arm, Tang Zhong was in shock.

How could this be?

Why didn’t his hypnosis work?

Jiang Bai was stunned too.

What’s happening!? His prediction of the plot was wrong!?

What’s with this script!?

“Ahhh!” In the next second, Tang Zhong’s pig-like scream echoed throughout the courtyard.

Watching Tang Zhong writhing on the ground in pain, Jiang Bai instinctively took half a step back, and narrowed his eyes in astonishment.

“Assistant Tang, if I’m not mistaken, Old Master Tang didn’t ask us to risk our lives, did he?”

Even Tang Qing was beginning to feel unsure. She muttered uncertainly, “No, no, Tang Zhong was supposed to be the only man Miss Shen would come into contact with before!”

The only man she’d allow to get close to her… had been treated like this?

What kind of “contact” is this?

At this rate, after three interactions, he would end up in the ICU. After ten, he might as well be buried!

Previously, Jiang Bai had felt a little envious of Tang Zhong. But today, he suddenly saw things clearly. Completely clear!

Wow! With this level of suffering, if one didn’t have a protagonist’s aura to protect him, who knew how many times they’d have died already!

Wow!

Jiang Bai mentally shouted, wow!

Initially, he thought Tang Zhong’s journey to winning over Shen Monong would be smooth, with him defeating all obstacles. But looking at things now, even the protagonist had a hard time!

If it weren’t for being stuck in the plot and having to maintain his character, Jiang Bai would have shed a tear, tightly gripped Tang Zhong’s hands, and said sincerely, “Brother, you’ve really been through a lot for me to go home!”

But now, he could only mock Tang Zhong, “A disgrace to the Medicine King Valley! Watch how I treat Miss Shen!”

After those words, Jiang Bai stepped forward. However, for safety’s sake, he had Tang Qing hold onto him.

After all, if the protagonist was suffering this much, Shen Monong was bound to be even harsher on someone she despised like him!

So, if anything went wrong, Tang Qing would be his backup.

“Tang Assistant, it’s all up to you. You know Miss Shen well, so if she’s about to lash out, pull me back immediately!”

Seeing how serious Jiang Bai’s instructions were, Tang Qing responded, “Got it, Mr. Jiang.”

With that, Tang Qing took a firm stance, bracing herself, and pulled Jiang Bai’s arm into her embrace.

Feeling the softness on his arm and smelling Tang Qing’s fragrance, Jiang Bai took a deep breath and knocked on the iron gate.
