In the hotel courtyard, Ye Bai lay on the lawn, heart shattered, resigned.
Xiao Yuxuan wasn't there to help him.
She was there to help Lin Tai.
Now Ye Bai just wanted to play dead and divert attention.
Xiao Yuxuan looked at the half-dead Ye Bai with no pity.
She and Hecate agreed: Ye Bai's backers hadn't been eliminated; he couldn't die yet!
Beating him half to death was enough.
"I don't need your help!" Lin Tai spoke sincerely. He didn't need Xiao Yuxuan's help; he just wanted her to play her role properly.
These heroines messing around made him a tired Vicious Male Side Character.
"Actually, I didn't want to help you much either, but Uncle Lin's price was too high. I couldn't refuse." Xiao Yuxuan knew her image in Lin Tai's eyes was beyond repair.
She immediately thought of a plan: since she couldn't get close directly, she would go the opposite way.
Using Lin Zhentian's name to approach Lin Tai, hoping he wouldn't resist so much.
"Hiss, really my dad?" Hearing Xiao Yuxuan admit this, Lin Tai's suspicion was confirmed.
It wasn't the plot going wrong but his father paying too much.
No wonder Xiao Yuxuan's attitude was so abnormal.
This explained everything.
Lin Tai calmed down. As long as the heroines' personas didn't change, he could steer the plot back.
"So now you trust me?" Xiao Yuxuan smiled brightly, knowing the trick worked.
Without hesitation, she raised her five-centimeter heels and stomped on Ye Bai's palm.
Ye Bai's agonized scream echoed through the garden.
Born into an underworld family, Xiao Yuxuan's ruthlessness matched Hecate's.
That stomp completely ruined Ye Bai's palm.
Lying on the grass, Ye Bai never expected Xiao Yuxuan to prove her loyalty by attacking him, even more cruelly than Hecate.
He couldn't understand why he was always the one injured!
When Ye Bai was hospitalized, wrapped like a mummy, especially his shattered hand bones, the injury would never fully heal even after ten years.
"Hiss... I believe you." Lin Tai broke out in cold sweat watching ruthless Xiao Yuxuan's back.
If Xiao Yuxuan could be so ruthless to the male lead Ye Bai, how much worse would she be to him, the male side character?
Just thinking about it scared Lin Tai.
"Good. Let's add each other on WeChat. It'll be easier to contact me later." Xiao Yuxuan handed Lin Tai her phone QR code.
"Alright." Lin Tai scanned and sent a friend request.
"Since that's settled, I'll leave." Xiao Yuxuan retracted her phone and left with her people satisfied.
"Look at this. To get the Eldest Young Lady of the Xiao Family here, Uncle must have paid a huge price." Ling Weifeng patted Lin Tai's shoulder.
He had thought maybe his brother had finally come good and the two Eldest Misses liked him.
Now it seemed he had overthought it; they were here for benefits.
"Xiaofeng, I'll book your flight to Hainan this afternoon for a month's vacation." Lin Tai said seriously to Ling Weifeng.
"Why? Are you afraid of Ye Bai's revenge?" Ling Weifeng immediately understood.
"No." Not afraid, but he definitely would get revenge!
As a refreshing male protagonist, revenge was Ye Bai's nature.
In the previous life, Ling Weifeng and Lin Tai caused trouble, and Xiao Yuxuan's failure meant Lin Tai got beaten—no problem with that plot.
Now Ye Bai was half crippled; this hatred was deep.
He wasn't afraid to die but wouldn't want to see Ling Weifeng die at Ye Bai's hands.
He wouldn't watch Ling Weifeng die helplessly.
"Don't worry. If he tries to get revenge on me, he doesn't have the ability yet." Ling Weifeng knew Ye Bai's background was complicated.
He was calmer and steadier than Lin Tai. Since Ye Bai's banquet appearance, others treated him as a joke, but Ling Weifeng noticed and investigated Ye Bai overnight.
But got no response. From then on, he knew Ye Bai was dangerous.
Yet for his brother, he immediately summoned street punks when Lin Tai called.
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop!" While Lin Tai was talking to Ling Weifeng, street punks noticed a woman filming them with a DV camera.
She realized she was discovered and ran. In a few strides, she reached outside the hotel, mounted a motorcycle, and sped away.
"Young Master Ling, that woman was filming secretly." The street punks returned after failing to catch her.
"I know." Ling Weifeng waved his hand. "Thanks guys, the money will be sent to you later. Thanks for the hard work."
"Thanks, Young Master Ling." The street punks happily left with their tools.
"Trouble's coming." After they left, Ling Weifeng's face darkened.
"You know that woman too?"
"Lu Ziyan." Lin Tai was not surprised. In the previous life's plot, Lu Ziyan appeared at this time.
Lu Ziyan was also a heroine in The Emperor's Return, the Little Princess of the Lu Family, one of the Ten Great Families.
The Lu Family ran the entertainment business, controlling most of the national entertainment industry.
As the Eldest Young Lady of the Lu Family, Lu Ziyan was raised to be a great director.
Her appearance at Longteng Hotel today was a complete accident.
