Villain Steals The Protagonist’s System And His Harem

Chapter 15: Acting Cautiously, Xiao Yue’s Desperation:

(Late at night)

Lu Feng left his apartment, leaving Yan Qingxue alone in the empty room.

Zhang Qiang had been waiting for a long time at the street corner, but Lu Feng pulled him away from the street and into a secluded alley.

“Boss, you’re being overly cautious. I’ve done this kind of thing so many times that I could do it in my sleep.” Zhang Qiang grumbled.

Lu Feng was being too careful, insisting that all conversations avoid electronic devices.

Now, even their meetings had to take place in hidden alleys.

Anyone who didn’t know better might think Zhang Qiang had used his body to climb the ranks.

“You know how skilled that guy is. All the records on WeChat and the surveillance footage at the company are completely gone!”

“Now that I’ve completely angered him, who knows if he’ll keep watching us?”

“Is he really that capable?”

“Enough talk. Just stick to the plan and get the anesthetic ready. Give me a small cut on my hand and be done with it!”

Zhang Qiang quickly nodded in agreement and pulled out a bottle of anesthetic from his coat.

By now, he had started to realize that Lu Feng’s caution wasn’t unfounded.

The WeChat company and the Shanning Group were on entirely different levels, much like the Shanning Group and Minghui Pharmaceuticals. Deleting the surveillance footage made sense to Zhang Qiang, but erasing all the records on WeChat was beyond his comprehension.

Thinking it over, Lu Feng might actually be right. It was possible their phones were already being monitored.

Meanwhile, Su Chen was staring intently at a screen, but he wasn’t watching Lu Feng’s phone; he was looking at surveillance footage.

As he watched the scene outside the entranceway, his rage nearly made him explode. The sight of the man and woman acting so affectionately together fueled Su Chen’s jealousy to the breaking point!

Originally, the man in that position should have been him!

“Yan Qingxue! It’s only been a short while, and you’re already tangled up with him? You’re unbelievable!”

“Lu Feng, just wait. I’m going to expose every disgraceful thing you’ve ever done!”

Su Chen’s voice was filled with fury, echoed within the small room.
At this moment, he wished he could fly to Lu Feng and strangle him with his own hands!

At the same time, Xiao Yue was taking a walk on the street. She was unaware that several people had been following her for a while.

As a supporting female character with no real background, her home wasn’t in the city center. As she turned a familiar corner, she noticed two thugs squatting by the roadside.

Xiao Yue felt a wave of fear. Although her home was nearby, this street was desolate at night. She decided to walk around the two men, but her actions seemed to provoke them.

The thug with the spiky hair blocked Xiao Yue’s path, letting out a sinister laugh. “Hey there, little girl, you’re really cute.”

“Got a boyfriend?”

The thug with yellow hair reached out and tugged at Xiao Yue’s sleeve. When she jumped back in fright, his lewd grin widened.

“Oh, shy are we?”

“Don’t worry, the more you do it, the easier it gets. You’ll get used to it after a couple of times.”

Their behavior was so convincing that it didn’t seem like anything was amiss.

Although Xiao Yue wasn’t as tall as Yan Qingxue, she had a slender figure and delicate, adorable features. Her frightened expression only made the thugs even more aroused.

At this moment, she was like an unlucky little rabbit, while the two big bad wolves in front of her could barely restrain their lust.

“I already have a boyfriend, so don’t come any closer.”

“He’s not your husband, so why worry? Come on, let’s go.”

“If you get any closer, I’ll scream!”

“You little…! Stop trying to act tough!” The yellow-haired thug’s face darkened as he spoke more harshly, leaving Xiao Yue paralyzed with fear, unable to speak or move, as if she had been struck by a petrifying spell.

Just then, someone stepped out of the shadows, following the plan and shielding Xiao Yue with his body.

“In broad daylight, how dare you…”

“Get lost!”

Before he could finish his heroic line, the two thugs each slapped him across the face.

The man put on an angry expression and turned back to Xiao Yue. “Don’t be afraid, miss. I’ll protect you.”

“Thank you!” Xiao Yue was extremely grateful, her tear-streaked face making her look even more pitiful.

“Oh? No one has dared to mess with us around here before. You must have a death wish!”

The yellow-haired thug suddenly pulled out a gleaming knife with a flick of his wrist.

“Watch out, he’s got a knife!”

Xiao Yue was utterly shocked. In her 23 years, while some people had flirted with her, it was always harmless. She had never seen anyone resort to violence.

“Don’t worry, I see it.” The man nodded calmly. And then…he bolted!

No matter what the plan was, or what his natural temperament might be, there was no way he was going to risk his life for a woman.

Sure, she was tempting, but that paled in comparison to his own life!

“Hmph! Trying to play the hero?”

“Do you even know who you’re up against?”

The two thugs spat in disgust and waved the knife as they advanced toward the now desperate Xiao Yue.

It all boiled down to this: without a plot armor of lowered intelligence, Xiao Yue’s smarts were fully intact. Earlier, she had been panicking and scared. Now, she was terrified and utterly hopeless. She knew very well that the situation had spiraled out of control.

They had drawn a knife, which meant their actions had escalated from a civil dispute to a criminal offense.

It was like why one couldn’t include specific punishments like the death penalty for kidnapping in the law. If one did, criminals would feel they have nothing to lose and might as well go all the way.

This was that kind of situation.

They had already drawn a knife, which was a more severe crime than molestation!

This also meant that their intentions had gone beyond simply getting physical.

Xiao Yue stared at the knife, too frightened to make any move to resist.

For the first time in her life, she realized how important it was to have a man by her side.

Usually, the first man she would think of was Su Chen.

But now, the first person who came to her mind was Lu Feng.

He was such a passionate man. If he saw his woman in this situation, he would never back down!

But how could a CEO of a company possibly appear here?

Besides, she wasn’t his woman.

Swoosh—

Xiao Yue snapped back to reality, staring at the knife that was now so close. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

“Someone, please save me.”
