"Alright, that's enough, isn't it?"
Yu Wan'er pushed Jiang Che away, her small face flushed pink, with a hint of tender redness at the corners of her eyes.
Lin Yu, sitting in the corner of the classroom, could no longer contain himself.
The girl he had feelings for was being bullied by another man right in front of him!
He slammed his hand on the desk!
"Jiang Che! Keep bullying her and I'll report you to the teacher!"
Lin Yu had started learning Jiang Che's tricks.
Without resorting to violence, the school's rules and regulations were the best weapons.
"Ah!!!"
Yu Wan'er panicked and fell straight into Jiang Che's arms.
How was someone still here???
Hadn't all the students left?
How was there still someone in the classroom?
If her relationship with Jiang Che got out, the carefully crafted image she had built would instantly crumble to pieces.
Seeing Yu Wan'er's panicked state, he became even more certain!
Yu Wan'er must be being blackmailed by Jiang Che somehow, and his overwhelming sense of justice told him he had to do something about it.
"Yu Wan'er, don't be afraid! I know Jiang Che is threatening you!"
The little beauty immediately burst into tears, just crying... without saying a word.
Sure enough, seeing the girl cry made Lin Yu even more convinced of his suspicions.
As for the earlier conversation about a kiss for 200 yuan... he had completely forgotten about it.
Lin Yu clenched his fists; originally, he wanted to throw punches, but he forcibly held himself back.
If he got into another fight... he would definitely be expelled.
"Wan'er, I'm going to get a teacher right now!"
Hearing Lin Yu call her "Wan'er," the little beauty's skin crawled.
"No! If you dare tell a teacher... neither I nor Sister Yao will ever look at you again!"
Yu Wan'er knew how to use her advantages; she had clearly noticed Lin Yu's feelings for her.
Lin Yu, a newly descended master... how could he possibly outmaneuver Yu Wan'er, such a sophisticated player?
With just one sentence, she had him wrapped around her finger like a puppy.
Lin Yu felt utterly frustrated.
At this moment, Jiang Che glanced down at his watch.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Lin Yu, your employer's young lady has wandered far away and is in danger. Can you bear the responsibility?"
Jiang Che's words made Lin Yu's pupils constrict.
How did he know about his job as Ye Mengyao's bodyguard?
No, no, something wasn't right!
Things seemed off from the beginning; this Jiang Che appeared to know him very well.
How did he know about his cave sanctuary? And he had even tampered with it beforehand? Including the embarrassing incident at the review meeting?
And now he was even pointing out his identity!
A sense of terror gradually dawned on him as he felt an invisible net closing in around him.
"Who are you?"
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
But before he could think further, a phone call came through.
Lin Yu answered the phone, "What are you doing? I told you to protect my daughter! What are you doing??"
Ye Changkong's voice was deafening from the other end.
"What's wrong? What about Yao..."
"I hired you to protect my daughter, and now she's been kidnapped! Am I paying you to do nothing?"
Lin Yu panicked and forgot all about any conspiracies.
He turned and left immediately.
......
Watching Lin Yu's retreating figure, Jiang Che's lips curled into a slight smile.
Not bad, his interference hadn't disrupted the plot development too much.
The story had now progressed to around chapter 30, where Ye Mengyao was kidnapped by Ye Corporation's rival company, demanding that Ye Changkong hand over the confidential product development materials.
Ye Corporation was involved in AI development, with each product potentially costing billions to develop.
Ye Changkong had made many enemies, which was why he hired bodyguards to protect Ye Mengyao.
In the original plot... Lin Yu would have fought his way through, rescued Ye Mengyao, and successfully broken through the ice queen's carefully constructed emotional walls.
But now, Lin Yu, you can just keep being my errand boy!
"Jiang Che! What happened to Sister Yao? Was she kidnapped?"
Yu Wan'er's eyes widened, showing genuine concern.
Even superficial friendships could have real feelings.
"Mm-hmm, that's right! Your sugar sister is now kidnapped... in mortal danger."
Jiang Che revealed a mischievous smile; he wasn't actually worried about Ye Mengyao's safety at all, given her status as the destined female protagonist – nothing could possibly happen to her.
Yu Wan'er's face turned slightly pale, "We should call the police!"
"They must have already called the police, otherwise how could Ye Mengyao's father have made that phone call?"
Now Yu Wan'er recalled something strange, "Why would Uncle Ye call this Lin Yu? What bodyguard? What does this mean?"
Jiang Che smiled casually, "Exactly what it sounds like. This Lin Yu is a bodyguard hired by Ye Mengyao's father to secretly protect her safety."
"Huh? That guy? He can be a bodyguard?"
Yu Wan'er's small mouth gaped open, clearly finding it hard to believe.
"Are the standards for bodyguards so low now? Even an idiot like him can become one?"
"Who knows? I've never seen a bodyguard with such poor skills either," Jiang Che shrugged.
"Jiang Che, what about Sister Yao? Those are kidnappers!"
Yu Wan'er started to worry.
"What can we do? Just wait and see. It's not like Ye Mengyao and I have any relationship."
"But you pursued her before, and Sister Yao is very beautiful, isn't she?"
"What does her beauty have to do with me? She won't let me kiss her or touch her. If you were the one kidnapped... I might go save you."
Suddenly, Jiang Che dropped a flirtatious line.
Such sweet talk to deceive young girls came naturally to Jiang Che; after all, he was only interested in physical pleasure, not emotional attachment. A few sweet words wouldn't hurt.
Sure enough, Yu Wan'er's small face turned slightly red.
"Hmph, you jerk! If you won't go, I will."
Of course, if Yu Wan'er went, she would just end up waiting with the police for results. The young girl had no real abilities... she couldn't possibly confront the criminals.
Jiang Che checked the time again; it was about time, Ye Mengyao should have been taken to the location by now.
According to the original plot, Ye Mengyao was drugged and taken to an abandoned construction site to be used as a bargaining chip.
The police hadn't found the criminals' location yet, but Lin Yu, being the protagonist blessed by fate, would inevitably find it first.
After single-handedly defeating all the kidnappers, the police would arrive just in time, completing his show of prowess.
