Chapter 43: Surveillance
“Don’t worry, even if I manage to win over Xu Muyan, you’ll still be the one I love the most,” Wang Haoran said, noticing the change in Wen Jing’s expression and trying to reassure her.
“Really?” Wen Jing’s eyes lit up.
“Of course it’s true!”
Of course, it’s a lie.
Although you’re very pretty, Xu Muyan is even more so.
Naturally, I prefer Xu Muyan a bit more.
But, of course, I can’t say this directly to Wen Jing.
As a villain, if you can’t even sweet-talk, can you really call yourself a villain?
“After the evening self-study session, help me arrange a meeting with Xu Muyan at…”
Wang Haoran began instructing Wen Jing on some matters.
His villain aura had increased from the initial 99 to 319, with the additional 220 points taken from Chu Bai.
Chu Bai’s initial protagonist aura was 357, so by calculation, Chu Bai’s current protagonist aura is 137.
A villain aura of 319 against a protagonist aura of 137 is more than double the difference.
In terms of luck, Wang Haoran was no longer restrained by Chu Bai.
Xu Muyan’s favorability towards Wang Haoran was at 50, which had already reached the level of admiration.
Originally, Wang Haoran planned to slowly increase Xu Muyan’s favorability a bit more before making his move.
However, given the current situation, Wang Haoran thought it best not to delay and to win over Xu Muyan as soon as possible.
With Xu Muyan’s admiration as a foundation, and Wang Haoran’s luck no longer restrained by Chu Bai, the success rate of winning over Xu Muyan was quite high.
Once successful, Chu Bai’s protagonist aura would surely decrease significantly.
At that time, Wang Haoran could deliver the final blow and completely shatter Chu Bai’s protagonist aura.
After discussing matters with Wen Jing, Wang Haoran sent her back to the classroom.
Wang Haoran didn’t leave immediately but instead made a phone call to Wang Xiang.
“I want to woo a girl. Help me set up a romantic scene by the river at our school, between 9:30 and 10:00.”
Once the call connected, Wang Haoran got straight to the point.
“Son, you’re amazing, already changing girlfriends so quickly!” Wang Xiang praised him and quickly added, “Leave it to me, I’ll have someone arrange it right away!”
“Okay, Dad, I’ll wait for your news.” Wang Haoran hung up the call, feeling a bit emotional.
Although he didn’t have much affection for this convenient father, this father was genuinely good to him.
He was practically granting every wish.
Suddenly, he felt that being a rich second-generation villain wasn’t so bad after all.
…
In the hallway outside the classroom.
Chu Bai received a phone call.
The caller ID showed Xu Muyan.
However, Chu Bai knew it probably wasn’t Xu Muyan calling.
Xu Muyan never brought her phone to school.
Chu Bai answered the call, and a man’s voice greeted him from the other end.
Chu Bai recognized the voice.
“Uncle Xu, why are you suddenly calling my number?” Chu Bai asked in surprise.
“I have something to discuss with you. Is it convenient to talk now?”
“I just finished the evening self-study session, so I can talk. What’s the matter?”
Next to Chu Bai, a few students were leaning against the hallway railing, looking at the scenery below.
However, Chu Bai didn’t pay them any mind.
“Do you like my daughter, Yanyan?” Xu Muyan’s father suddenly asked.
Chu Bai was taken aback, not expecting Xu Muyan’s father to ask this.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded firmly and replied, “Yes, I do!”
“Good, it’s commendable to admit your true feelings,” Xu Muyan’s father praised.
“Uncle Xu, you didn’t call just to ask me this, did you?”
“Partly, but I also wanted to ask if Yanyan has been getting close to someone named Wang Haoran at school?”
“Yes, yes, that Wang Haoran often harasses Xu Muyan. He’s a bad guy, with a group of lackeys, running rampant in school, and he’s particularly fickle, having multiple girlfriends!” Chu Bai took the opportunity to badmouth Wang Haoran.
“I knew that Wang Haoran was no good!” Xu Muyan’s father’s voice was filled with anger.
“Uncle Xu, Xu Muyan is young and naive. I think you should advise her to stay away from Wang Haoran,” Chu Bai suggested, seizing the opportunity.
“This evening, I met Yanyan outside the school and advised her, but she wouldn’t listen and almost argued with me,” Xu Muyan’s father sighed and then said, “Chu Bai, can you do me a favor?”
“Uncle Xu, just say the word, and I’ll do whatever it takes!”
“It’s not that serious. I just hope you can keep an eye on Yanyan at school, especially when she has unusual interactions with Wang Haoran. You must inform me immediately.”
“No problem, leave it to me!”
Chu Bai eagerly agreed.
He had long been displeased with Wang Haoran, and this was a perfect opportunity to disrupt Wang Haoran’s relationship with Xu Muyan. It was simply too wonderful!
…
Wang Haoran returned to the classroom.
A lackey immediately approached to report.
The report was naturally about Chu Bai’s phone call earlier.
“Xu Muyan’s father wants Chu Bai to monitor his daughter and report immediately if she interacts with me?”
Wang Haoran received this crucial piece of information.
He immediately transferred 10,000 yuan to the lackey who reported it.
This was the advantage of being a rich second-generation villain; the classroom was filled with his informants.
Wang Haoran was glad to have learned this news in time.
He had originally planned to win over Xu Muyan tonight.
If he hadn’t known about Chu Bai’s surveillance, Wang Haoran was sure that as soon as he tricked Xu Muyan into a hotel, her father would show up.
The scene would be unimaginable.
“Looks like I need to change my plans,” Wang Haoran pondered.
The plan to meet Xu Muyan remained unchanged, but luring her to a hotel was out of the question.
As for Chu Bai, there was no need to avoid him.
If he liked to monitor, let him monitor; if he liked to report, let him report.
Let’s see how he handles it in the end.
Wang Haoran instructed the lackey to call Fan Jian over.
“Boss, what’s up?” Fan Jian asked with a cheerful face.
Wang Haoran didn’t reply immediately but transferred 50,000 yuan to Fan Jian.
Fan Jian was a bit confused.
“After the evening self-study session, go to the nearby bank and withdraw this amount in cash. Then, do something for me. If you do it well, the money is yours,” Wang Haoran instructed.
“What if I don’t do it well?” Fan Jian couldn’t help but ask.
“If you don’t do it well, you might as well jump into the river outside.”
“Isn’t that a bit too serious?”
“It is that serious. It’s not a difficult task. If you can’t do it, you might as well be dead.”
“Boss, just tell me what to do.”
“After the evening self-study session, withdraw the money and then…”
Wang Haoran whispered his instructions to Fan Jian.
