Xu Mo touched his nose and nodded awkwardly.
"Yes, it's plastic."
(￣□￣｜｜)
The truth was out, and it was quite embarrassing for Xu Mo.
Bang!! Bang!!!
Shen Manni didn’t even glance at Lin Fan as she fired two more shots at the Dragon King.
Did anyone really think this foolish woman was Yan Shuangying reincarnated, with infinite bullets and no need to reload?
Wrong!!!
Two empty pistol magazines were already lying on the ground.
Lying on the ground, trouble came from the side.
Lin Fan, having lost too much blood and with a raging fire in his heart, passed out from shock due to his severe injuries and overwhelming emotions.
Of course, Shen Manni didn’t stop just because Xu Mo admitted the diamond ring was fake.
The questioning continued.
"Do you think I’m pretty?"
"No feelings."
Bang!! Bang bang bang!!!!
"Shen Manni, I feel like you’ve changed a lot. Why?"
"Because of you!"
"Objectively speaking, am I pretty or not?"
Xu Mo’s mouth hung open. It turned out he was the clown here, still reeling from the shock of the previous question.
Because of him?
How could that be?
Was something wrong with this world?
Shen Manni, seemingly dissatisfied with Xu Mo’s dazed state, asked again.
Xu Mo snapped back to reality and glanced at her.
"Pretty!"
Shen Manni’s lips curled into a faint smile.
"But I still don’t feel anything," Xu Mo added honestly.
(•́へ•́╬)
Shen Manni’s brows furrowed slightly.
Then she raised her pistol and fired two more shots at Lin Fan.
Her tone was icy.
"I didn’t ask for the extra commentary. Don’t overdo it!"
Sssss!!!!!!
Xu Mo winced, sucking in a sharp breath.
Ruthless!!!
Absolutely ruthless.
It seemed the Dragon King was being tortured beyond recognition.
Xu Mo silently mourned for the protagonist for a second.
The first second of pity for the Dragon King.
Also the last.
"When did you start becoming like this?"
Xu Mo thought for a moment before asking.
Extraordinary events always have a reason.
To untie the bell, you need the one who tied it.
Xu Mo needed to figure out the current situation first.
Shen Manni felt very unfamiliar to him.
In other words,
the Shen Manni before him made Xu Mo feel incredibly strange.
Though she was still the same person,
there was an added layer of emotion he couldn’t quite place.
Even though Shen Manni hid it well,
when their eyes met,
Xu Mo couldn’t shake a sense of unease.
It was like a hunter locking onto its prey.
"Do you remember that night when I was drugged, and you saved me, only to push me away afterward?"
Shen Manni smiled, not hiding anything.
Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Xu Mo.
What the hell????
Just because of that?
Xu Mo was dumbfounded. What was going on in this foolish woman’s head?
He pushed her away because he was already married to Zhou Qiaoqiao, wasn’t he?
What child are you talking about having with me?
A child with you would be illegitimate.
Manni, why are you wearing Qiaoqiao’s clothes?
Xu Mo coughed, pushing aside his scattered thoughts.
"I remember, I remember."
Leaving aside everything else, it seemed Shen Manni had been deeply affected by this incident.
As the female lead of the story, the number one heroine, she probably never expected that after offering herself up, she’d be pushed away.
And then her mentality shattered.
Xu Mo quickly pieced this together.
And understood the reason.
"Hmph! I thought you’d forgotten!"
Shen Manni snorted coldly and raised her pistol, pulling the trigger again.
Click click click------------
Only then did she realize she was out of bullets.
"How unlucky."
Shen Manni muttered under her breath.
Soon after, she pulled out a fully loaded magazine and reloaded.
"Why are you so obsessed with me?"
Shen Manni narrowed her eyes, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
Xu Mo was about to speak but was cut off.
"I’m not stupid. I grew up in a business family, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I’ve always been top of my class, graduated from one of the top three international universities with a master’s degree. In the years I’ve taken over my father’s company, I’ve expanded the Shen family’s reach significantly."
This felt like a child showing off to an adult.
Did Xu Mo not know all this?
The problem was, I never said you were stupid.
Xu Mo’s lips twitched slightly. "It was because of a small misunderstanding, but it’s been cleared up now."
Xu Mo cared so much
because he felt it was tied to his past life.
After he died,
these female leads continued their reckless behavior,
ruining the Xu family,
and living shamelessly with the Dragon King.
But obviously, all of this was his own imagination.
As a reincarnator, Xu Shi, who had returned,
told him everything that happened afterward.
Only then did Xu Mo let go of his hostility toward Shen Manni.
"What misunderstanding? You haven’t explained it clearly yet."
Thump thump·········
Shen Manni’s heart was racing.
She felt she was close to the truth!!!!
Truth or dare.
Since it was truth,
Xu Mo couldn’t hide it anymore. He pointed at Lin Fan, who was lying on the ground, half-dead, and said,
"I suspected you might have been involved with him······"
Bang bang bang!!!! Bang bang bang bang!!! Bang!!!!
Click click click----------
Shen Manni’s eyes turned cold as she emptied the entire magazine into Lin Fan.
Even after running out of bullets,
she kept pulling the trigger.
"Damn... are you crazy?"
Xu Mo couldn't help but take half a step back.
Was that half-step retreat serious?
Shen Manni's senses were extremely sharp now.
She noticed it immediately.
But before she could say anything more,
Lin Fan, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly "resurrected."
His voice was hoarse and filled with sorrow.
"What the hell does this have to do with me? Can you two just talk without using me as a punching bag?"
"I... I don’t think I can hold on anymore... Please, both of you, show some mercy and put me out of my misery."
Lin Fan had become a bloodied mess.
There was a method to Shen Manni's shooting.
She aimed at the joints of his limbs first.
Then she shot him in the back.
Lin Fan's sudden "resurrection"
startled Shen Manni.
She quickly stepped back to reload.
Xu Mo stood nearby, ready to intervene at any moment.
But it didn’t take long.
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he paused for a moment.
Then he collapsed heavily to the ground.
This time, he was completely unconscious.
Earlier, when he had fainted the first time, he thought Shen Manni, this crazy woman, would calm down after venting.
He thought she wouldn’t attack him again.
But who knew she would become even more unreasonable.
In the end, Lin Fan, who was already severely injured and unconscious,
was in so much pain that
his internal martial arts instinctively activated.
That’s why he had that brief moment of "resurrection."
"Hahaha..."
Shen Manni let out a cold laugh. She had just finished reloading.
Without caring whether Lin Fan might wake up again,
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
She fired three shots in quick succession.
"This is for pretending to be dead."
"This is for scaring me."
"This is for... for... for what?"
Shen Manni glanced up at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo’s eyelid twitched, and he shrugged. "How would I know what for?"
"Hmph..." Xu Mo’s dismissive attitude annoyed Shen Manni, but she got her answer.
"Because I don’t like you!"
Xu Mo couldn’t help but laugh.
He wasn’t sure if that comment was directed at him or Lin Fan.
What neither of them noticed was that
Lin Fan’s right middle finger, lying in a pool of blood, twitched slightly.
Then it went still again.
Meanwhile, the game of truth or dare continued.
The sky was beginning to lighten with the first hints of dawn.
"Where is he? Did he really escape? Damn it!!!"
Gao Liyuan’s voice trembled as she asked.
They had expanded their search radius again.
After searching within a fifty to sixty-kilometer range,
they still hadn’t found any trace of Lin Fan.
Gao Liyuan was filled with guilt.
The other women comforted her.
Then, a voice suddenly spoke up.
"Lin Fan probably won’t be able to escape. My brother has personally stepped in."
The speaker was Xu Shi.
Her words left the other women stunned.
They quickly pressed her for details.
Xu Shi explained what had just happened.
Her earpiece had been taken away,
so she could only call Gao Liyuan.
Gao Liyuan was effectively in the commander’s position.
Naturally, her voice reached the other female leads.
After Xu Shi finished explaining,
the women grew anxious.
They asked where Xu Mo was.
After all, Lin Fan had a gun.
What if something unexpected happened?
What would they do????
The women began talking over each other,
creating a chaotic scene.
"Enough, all of you, quiet down."
An Youyi’s voice carried a hint of authority.
No one dared to ignore the Dragon Queen.
Once the women quieted down,
An Youyi continued, "Gao Liyuan, check which surveillance cameras Lin Fan destroyed."
An Youyi didn’t explain further.
The women didn’t ask.
Gao Liyuan quickly checked.
"There are nine locations!"
"The rest of you, pair up and search the areas nearby!"
Meanwhile, the game of truth or dare was winding down.
Apart from a few things Xu Mo still wanted to know,
he had learned everything else.
For example, why Shen Manni had become like this.
It turned out she had fallen for him.
Or why Shen Manni had helped attack Lin Fan.
It was purely to make Xu Mo feel heartbroken.
Xu Mo found it somewhat amusing.
Why would he feel heartbroken over Lin Fan being beaten?
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
Shen Manni had exhausted all her ammunition.
She had learned most of what she wanted to know.
And then... she completely lost it.
She alternated between cold laughter and foolish giggles.
Xu Mo didn’t know what she was laughing about.
But her demeanor gave off a sense of madness,
mixed with a touch of desolation.
It felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world.
"You dug this hole yourself. Now you have to fill it."
Xu Mo took a deep breath.
Then he walked over to Shen Manni.
Shen Manni noticed Xu Mo approaching.
But she didn’t know what he was planning.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Mo didn’t answer her.
In the next moment,
he wrapped her in a bear hug.
Shen Manni was momentarily dazed, then her eyes turned red as she struggled fiercely.
"What do you mean by this? Get away from me!!! Let go right now, or I’ll shoot you!"
She lashed out wildly,
pounding on Xu Mo.
Xu Mo didn’t say a word.
He let her vent.
Xu Shi had mentioned something to him earlier.
The other female leads got along relatively well.
But Shen Manni didn’t fit in with them.
It wasn’t because Shen Manni couldn’t integrate into their circle.
Rather,
the other female leads believed Xu Mo had a strong dislike for Shen Manni.
Out of loyalty to him,
they naturally distanced themselves from the "foolish woman."
After a while, it seemed she had exhausted herself.
Or perhaps Shen Manni felt that such futile efforts were completely useless.
So she gave up.
However, the sickly smile on her face remained.
“What’s the use of hugging me? Anyone can do that! If you’re so brave, kiss me…”
Shen Manni’s tone was filled with disdain.
She didn’t think Xu Mo would actually do it.
That’s why she spoke like this.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Even if the emotional barriers in their words had been broken down,
the actions were another matter.
Oh, as for actions, Xu Mo only had a bear hug to offer.
No wonder the girl who liked him was upset.
Xu Mo was swayed by her words.
In the next moment,
he directly sealed Shen Manni’s lips with his own.
Xu Mo’s reasoning was simple.
He believed that the “Crooked-Mouth Dragon King” had died.
Soon, divine retribution would descend.
Or perhaps he could just go home and sleep for a while.
When he woke up, everything that had happened would be undone.
They’d have to start all over again.
Wouldn’t that be a waste?
Besides, this foolish woman was being so bold.
If he didn’t give her some kind of response,
she’d probably start pushing her luck even more in the future.
Shen Manni’s delicate body trembled, and she quickly got into it.
Her movements were clumsy.
It was clear she was a complete novice.
But her enthusiasm
surprised even Xu Mo.
Gradually, the sickly smile on Shen Manni’s lips faded away.
Her beautiful eyes grew clearer.
At that moment, it felt as if the entire world had fallen silent.
Only the two of them remained.
It was unclear how much time had passed
before they finally stopped.
Xu Mo felt like his lips were going numb.
Then, inexplicably, Shen Manni pushed him away.
She perfectly embodied what it meant to be a “heartless woman.”
Use and discard.
“You… what are you doing…”
Shen Manni’s voice was weak, and she seemed to have returned to her normal self.
Her face turned beet red,
a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Xu Mo found it amusing. Was this foolish woman playing dumb on purpose?
He wasn’t angry, though.
Taking advantage of the fact that the system hadn’t punished him yet, he decided to tease her.
“Doing what you like, of course.”
“What do you mean, what *I* like? Explain yourself!”
“Oh, so you don’t like it? Yet you kissed me for so long. Impressive, impressive.”
“Shh!! Shut up! Are you trying to get yourself killed?! One more word and I won’t go easy on you!”
“Oh? How exactly won’t you go easy on me?”
Shen Manni glanced around and, spotting a nearby building, grew bolder.
“Let’s go get a room!”
Xu Mo: “…………”
(￣□￣｜｜)
This was too much, wasn’t it?
Her sudden leap in logic left Xu Mo momentarily speechless, unable to come up with a witty retort.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
