Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chapter 10: It’s Really Tragic, Honestly

While receiving a massage, Chen Fan was reflecting on the novel’s plot, particularly the story with Lin Qingyue. After the broken engagement, there were only about two chapters written.

Then, Chen Fan went off to seek revenge.

Growing up in an orphanage, he started investigating why the orphanage was demolished and found out that the orphanage director had been murdered. He immediately chose revenge.

During the investigation, he eventually tracked down a man named Liu Chong. This was also the first time the protagonist injured someone. Or to put it more accurately, it was the first time he killed someone.

The novel’s world seemed to downplay such events. It’s understandable, after all, it’s fiction, not the real world.

In the wind, at dusk, the man wore a trench coat, resembling a chivalrous hero.

“Who is Liu Chong?”

Liu Chong was eating barbecue and drinking with a group of his brothers.

Hearing someone call him, he stood up and asked, “Who the hell are you?”

“A man out for revenge. You don’t need to know more.”

With that, Ye Aotian charged at him without hesitation. After all, he was a ruthless character from abroad, having mingled with dangerous people for years, and his strikes were ferocious.

You had to know, this guy was the Dragon King. He was skilled in all kinds of martial arts. Of course, before he encountered ancient martial arts, he was already quite formidable. But after getting into ancient martial arts, things started to change.

At the moment, though, he was still perfectly capable of handling a few street thugs. His punches and kicks were savage, every move aimed to kill.

Just then, a group of people rushed in.

“Brother Liu Chong, we’re here to help you!”

At that moment, five men dashed out from the alley, all joining the fight.

Liu Chong clutched his throat, gasping for air. That one hit nearly killed him—his throat seemed to have been shattered. He couldn’t speak.

With the new arrivals, Ye Aotian, being the protagonist, managed to fight off all five men. He was formidable, no doubt about it. But these five men weren’t pushovers either. Their strikes were unusually brutal, clearly professionals.

Ye Aotian took several punches, breaking his ribs, spitting blood, and even getting his head smashed.

But in the end, Ye Aotian mustered his strength and threw a few punches, knocking all five men to the ground. He limped away, looking as if he could die any second.

This was the protagonist, so brave and invincible, so proud.

A man who never let a grudge go unpunished. In his eyes, nothing couldn’t be solved with a punch. And if one punch wasn’t enough, he’ll throw a few more.

Liu Chong and his men were losing blood fast, and at that moment, they realized that the five men who had fallen earlier were now getting up. They ran away. They didn’t even try to save anyone. They came in a hurry and left just as quickly.

Sitting in the car, Jin Lan quietly watched everything unfold. Her expression was calm. The anger in her heart had somewhat subsided.

With this level of intelligence, he’s the protagonist? What’s wrong with this author’s brain? There’s no way I, Jin Lan, would ever be a bootlicker for someone like that. I’d have to be out of my mind.

[Hahaha, I just thought of a joke.]

[Ye Aotian gave an evil smirk, showing off his scars, and in that moment, Jin Lan was mesmerized.]

[Hahaha, should I get some scars too? No wait, this guy even has a full-back tattoo of a dragon. So cool.]

[Sigh, I wonder if Liu Chong will die today. If he does, I’ll have another scene coming up right away. Sigh, my head hurts, my head hurts.]

[I don’t feel like acting every day.]

I’m going to kill Ye Aotian.

At that moment, Jin Lan felt an overwhelming urge to strangle Ye Aotian.

Like him? Like him, my ass! No brains, no skill, and scars? I think that’s cool? Am I that shallow? And you think tattoos are handsome? Seriously? Doesn’t he know that public officials aren’t supposed to have tattoos?

“Boss, it’s been handled.”

“How about those men?”

“Liu Chong is basically dead. I checked—his throat was crushed.”

“And the others on the ground? Check if any are still alive, and if they are, finish them off. Don’t let anyone know about this.”

“Understood.”

After everything was dealt with, Jin Lan thought for a moment and said, “Take me to Chen Fan’s place. I’ve got time to meet him.”

“To the villa in the suburbs???”

“Don’t think I don’t know where Chen Fan went.”

“Understood. Message received.”

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was enjoying some fruit, chatting with a girl beside him.

“Brother, how’s the massage? Feels good, right?”

“Yeah, it’s great.”

“Brother, make sure to come and see me often from now on.”

“No problem, little sis. Lately, I’ve had some headaches. Give my head a good massage.”

The girl nodded, and Chen Fan closed his eyes, relaxing.

After a while, Chen Fan noticed the massage had changed hands.

“Nice touch. Who is it?”

When he opened his eyes, he saw Jin Lan.

At that moment, Jin Lan was staring at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was startled and quickly sat up straight, saying, “Boss, what brings you here?”

“Nothing much, just had something to discuss with you. I asked around and found out you were here getting a massage.”

“I’m paying for it myself, not using public funds.”

“That’s not an issue. You did well by meeting with Zheng Qiang. He won’t say anything.”

Chen Fan’s mind was full of questions.

No way, shouldn’t she be at home by now or checking in on the fight with Ye Aotian?

After the engagement was broken, this was the beginning of Ye Aotian’s path of vengeance. Of course, when Ye Aotian fought Liu Chong, Jin Lan noticed his skills, and that’s when their story began.

Though it was only a brief encounter, and not much was mentioned about it. It wasn’t until much later that Jin Lan’s storyline actually started.

“Liu Chong is dead.”

“Who’s Liu Chong?”

You’ll keep pretending, huh?

Jin Lan said, “Just a minor character, someone I happened to see. Ye Aotian killed him. I watched him fight, and he’s quite strong—a brute. Are you sure you want to handle this yourself?”

“No problem, boss. It’s just a small matter with a minor character. I can manage.”

“Are you really sure?”

Chen Fan said, “Yes, I guarantee it. After all, I’m following your lead. How could I disappoint you?”

“Good, I’m a bit tired. Get someone to give me a massage.”

“Actually … this is my first time here too.”

“Hmm?”

“Boss … Room 88, the girl there. Call her back quickly.”
