Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 22: The Real Target

Chen Lingxi stood resolutely in front of Lin Feng, facing the group of Qin family experts. As a teacher, Chen Lingxi always believed she had to be responsible for her students. It was the duty of a teacher, a homeroom teacher!

Lin Feng, this genius, had already suffered greatly after failing his career awakening. And now, he was further devastated by Qin Xian, losing his family!

Chen Lingxi’s heart was filled with pity for Lin Feng… and a sense of guilt! In her view, she hadn’t protected her student well enough!

How could she allow Qin Xian to use a baseless charge to prevent Lin Feng from taking the college entrance examination!? Therefore, she was determined to vouch for Lin Feng, ensuring he could take the exam!

Chen Beiguo, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly, but he did not stop Chen Lingxi. He knew his daughter well; although she seemed gentle and amiable, she was quite stubborn.

He had planned to position Chen Lingxi within the Donghai Security Committee, a real authority, and paved a promising path for her. But Chen Lingxi refused and chose to be an ordinary teacher at the First High School.

This decision had sparked disputes between the father and daughter, but eventually, Chen Beiguo had to relent. Moreover, Chen Beiguo could tell that Lin Ye wasn’t a void believer.

If a level 52 Crimson Lotus Knight were truly a void believer, Donghai City would have long been in ruins. Void believers could transform themselves into beacons, attracting void creatures to descend!

“Miss Chen.” Lin Feng looked at Chen Lingxi, standing in front of him, filled with emotion.

He was well aware that Chen Lingxi had essentially saved his life! If he couldn’t take the entrance exam, he wouldn’t receive the protection of a prestigious academy.

How could an ordinary student like him, with no power or influence, survive under the Qin family’s pressure? He wouldn’t even need the Qin family to act directly; someone would kill him just to curry favor with the Qin family!

Seeing the governor’s daughter, Chen Lingxi, willing to vouch for Lin Feng, Qin Xian remained expressionless, but a smile flickered in his eyes.

Finally… took the bait!

Lin Feng, as a son of luck, indeed needed to be cautious about, not allowing him to develop freely, but Qin Xian’s real target was Chen Lingxi or rather… Chen Lingxi’s father, Chen Beiguo!

In the end, Lin Feng was just a level 4 ant, easily crushed with a single hand, as long as they weren’t careless. In contrast, the priority now was to ensure that the secret of the Arcane Source does not leak.

Qin Xian’s actions in Donghai City, and his enmity with Chen Beiguo, would certainly draw the attention of other forces. Even the regent government might become suspicious of Qin Xian’s intentions.

A Qin family heir running to Donghai City to capture a void believer was too suspicious. It was as absurd as a billionaire heir going to a small town to catch a petty thief.

If other forces intervened, investigating the matter might lead them to Lin Feng, creating complications. Therefore, Qin Xian needed an even more sensational event to cover up his true purpose.

Such as…

Qin Xian’s eyes darkened.

Bringing down Chen Beiguo, the governor of Donghai Province!

Qin Xian smiled slightly, casting a deep look at Lin Feng, then chuckled, “Since Miss Chen is personally vouching for him, then let’s leave it at that.”

With that, he nodded at Chen Beiguo, “Governor, I’ll take my leave now.”

He turned and left, followed by the other Qin family experts. He had acted in the city center, causing so much death and destruction, yet he could leave unscathed. He might even receive commendation from above!

Chen Beiguo’s expression was somber as he watched Qin Xian leave, exhaling slowly. For over a decade, he had served as the governor of Donghai Province, wielding great power. Yet he couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness…

Qin Xian had broken numerous imperial laws, killing publicly and causing collateral damage, but there was nothing he could do! Behind Qin Xian stood the colossal Qin family, a millennium-old clan deeply rooted in every corner of the empire.

Even if this matter reached the regent, it would likely end without resolution.

Chen Beiguo sighed softly thinking if only the emperor were still around. Before the emperor’s disappearance, the Qin family and other noble families were somewhat restrained.

The emperor had always suppressed the noble families, continually promoting strong individuals of common birth. The regent, Lu Ji, was a commoner elevated by the emperor.

But alas… since the emperor’s disappearance, no one has been able to suppress these noble families! They constantly drain the empire, eliminate dissent, and are the parasites of the empire!

Now, only the regent, Lu Ji, can somewhat restrain them…

Chen Beiguo said in a deep voice, “Investigate Lin Ye’s background.”

Someone immediately responded affirmatively.

Lin Feng rushed to Lin Yu’s corpse, crying out in sorrow.

Those around him, seeing this, felt empathetic, filled with sympathy for Lin Feng.

Chen Lingxi approached Lin Feng, sighing, “My condolences, Lin Feng.”

But she didn’t know how to console him. The events that had befallen Lin Feng were too tragic. Anyone else would likely have broken down!
