My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - Chapter 3

In the following week, Lin Lang had quite an exciting time.

From time to time, someone would ask her to meet up, invite her for tea or coffee.

These calls keep coming one after another, it’s even busier than when she was running her own business.

For these people, Lin Lang always refused.

At first, the rejection was extremely perfunctory.

“I don’t meet with strangers, it’s not safe.”

“Not free, bro. Don’t you know that workers are always on the clock?”

“Want to ask about the situation that night? I’ve already told the police everything I know, you can contact them!”

When the phone calls were not effective, these people took advantage of the situation and went to her workplace to keep watch.

Sorry, she’s going to go all out!

After all, the ones who contacted her by phone before were not her, but her assistant secretaries.

She likes to insult people to their face, enjoying the sight of them being unable to retort or take her down.

“Mr. He? Sorry, I don’t know you, don’t want to meet you, please step aside.” Lin Lang frowned as he looked at the two well-built men, each about 1.8 meters tall, blocking his way.

The two muscular men were not surprised by her answer, but clearly did not take her rejection seriously.

“Miss Lin, our boss is in the car. We just need to say a few words. It won’t take up too much of your time.”

“Yes, little girl, our boss won’t mistreat those who work for him.”

Lin Lang looked the two of them up and down, confirming that this matter wouldn’t stop until they had a face-to-face confrontation. She put away her phone, tucked it into her pocket, and nodded casually, “Alright.”

She’s going to blow up!

After all, the ones who contacted her by phone before were not her, but her assistant secretaries.

She likes to insult people to their face, enjoying the sight of them being unable to retort or take her down.

The park is divided into nine zones, and Lin Lang’s company is in Zone F. Vehicles are not allowed to drive within each zone. They either enter the underground parking lot through the different zone entrances on the main road of the park or temporarily park along the roadside of the main road.

Mr. He’s luxury car was naturally parked by the roadside. Lin Lang strode over, and the rear window of the luxury car slowly rolled down.

The middle-aged man in the car had a cold and stern expression, looking serious and rigid. As he watched Lin Lang approach quickly, his gaze was deep, hiding turbulent emotions and an incomprehensible darkness.

“Lin Lang?” The tone was arrogant, with a hint of barely concealed disdain, as if uttering these two words was a burden on his esteemed lips.

Do rich people really have to play so many games?! You don’t know who I am, do you? I wouldn’t bother coming here if I weren’t important!
Lin Lang rolled his eyes and replied with a forced smile, “It’s me.”

Mr. He pressed his lips together, displeased. He had always maintained his status, and many people had tried their best to get close to him. Now, he personally came to meet a young girl; that was already giving her a huge favor.

The other party has this kind of attitude, truly ungrateful!

His life has been smooth sailing for the past half-century, the only thing that hasn’t gone his way is Lin Lang.

He had a stern face and a heavy gaze as he stared at Lin Lang. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was full of paternalism: “Young lady, you should be more polite to your elders.”

“Don’t give me this nonsense!” Lin Lang rolled his eyes impatiently and said sarcastically, “Mr. He, we’re all civilized people here, we should have some sense of decency, right? Every day, its harassment, it’s on the edge of criminal behavior, do you know that? If you’re not annoyed, I am.”

“Same old story, everything I know, I’ve already told the police. If you’re looking for me to obstruct justice, I’m sorry, but I’m a law-abiding citizen and can’t help with such unethical requests.”

“Lastly,” she said earnestly, “when you have time, teach the kids to read the criminal law properly. Stop spending all your time scheming to meet young girls.”

Mr. He was so amused by her that he couldn’t help but laugh.

After a long silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a kind and amiable look, the kind that an elder gives to a younger person, and said to himself, “Look at me, I’ve even forgotten to tell you.

Your uncle and I have been old classmates for many years. Back then, we even agreed that if we were fated, we would become in-laws through our children.”

Lin Lang showed a look of sudden realization.

If it were someone else, they might lose their composure, become furious, and feel lost.

Lin Lang won’t.

She merely cast a disdainful glance at Mr. He, her tone full of pity: “Mr. He, wake up, the Qing Dynasty is gone, the times have changed!”

Did you really think that elders and parents could control the life and death of their children and freely arrange the lives of their descendants?

This posture that seems like looking at someone with a mental disability…

Feeling offended, Mr. He was furious and said coldly, “You, so young and lacking manners, as an elder, I will teach you a lesson today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly men who had been standing with their hands at their sides immediately stepped forward, closing in on Lin Lang who was sandwiched in the middle, and raised their hands to restrain her.

Lin Lang looked at him with considerable surprise.

Her eyes were full of confusion.

Haven’t you talked to your eldest son? Don’t you know how he got beaten up that night?

I knocked him down and broke his arms and legs in just a few seconds!

Since someone is asking for a beating, she won’t hold back!

She was always quick to act, sliding a step to the left, raising her hand to seize the left man’s wrist, and pulling hard.

The confident 1.8-meter-tall muscular man suddenly felt an irresistible force strike him, and he couldn’t help but crash into Lin Lang.

But soon, Lin Lang grabbed him by the belt and threw him out.

“Bang!”

Precisely hit the car door that Mr. He had just lowered the window on.

Mr. He trembled all over.

Immediately after, there was another “bang!”

Another strong man also slammed into the car door.

Mr. He twitched reflexively again.

He’s not scared; it’s just a reflex when someone suddenly hears a loud noise near their ear.

Until Lin Lang shook his phone and kindly reminded him with a smile, “Do you want me to call the police and invite you all for some tea?”

Mr. He, coming back to his senses, maintained a calm expression, forcing a composed demeanor, but his words were ominous and unpleasant: “I was mistaken; some things are better discussed with your elders.”

Lin Lang scoffed at this.

The Lin family isn’t some loving and harmonious big family. If you want to use moral or emotional blackmail, you need to have those things to begin with!

Mr. He gritted his teeth and ordered the driver to go, while Lin Lang cheerfully waved goodbye to him and even kindly shouted a suggestion: “Hey, Mr. He, you get along so well with my uncle, why bother with a marriage alliance? You can just go yourself! Your son is useless, but my uncle can take over a ready-made son!”

It’s now rush hour for getting off work, and there are many office workers hurrying to leave. Just a moment ago, a few people were pulling and tugging, and some slowed down to watch the commotion.

Now, with this remark, someone couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Mr. He was so furious that he slammed his fist heavily onto the car seat.

“This unfilial and ungrateful beast!”

Two bodyguards and a driver couldn’t help but cover their ears.

But, even if they are just following orders, they can’t in good conscience agree with what the boss said.

To be fair, it’s fine if you insult her as a beast, but why do you have the right to accuse her of being unfilial and ungrateful? She has nothing to do with you, okay?!

At five-thirty on Friday afternoon, Lin Lang’s phone rang.

Watching “Gu Qingci” jumping on the screen, she raised an eyebrow, swiped her finger, and answered.

Pretending to be polite, he asked, “Hello, who is this?”

The number was saved by Lin Lang after secretly checking the phone number on the night when the beauty unlocked her phone to call her mother.

But I can’t let anyone know that I secretly saved the number; after all, it looks sleazy.

The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit distorted and sounded quite reserved: “Hello, Lin Lang, I’m Ruan Qingci.”

Lin Lang shivered all over and stammered, “Ruan, Ruan Qingci?”

The whole person looked as if they had been struck by lightning, with a blank expression, frozen like a statue.

Isn’t that Gu Qingci?!

Did I make a mistake?

Shouldn’t it be?

Can I even keep my life intact and live for another five hundred years?!

She was brainstorming over here, her mind in a complete mess. Over there, Ruan Qingci heard her stammering out names, paused slightly, hesitated, and reluctantly added a description of herself so
that Lin Lang could quickly identify her: “Uh, it was on the night of the 21st, thank you for saving me.”

As soon as the keyword “August 21 evening” came to mind, Lin Lang’s soul, which had been floating in mid-air, instantly reset. Instinctively, he raised a business-like smile, warm and polite:

“You’re welcome, who wouldn’t lend a hand in such a situation, right?”

Ruan Qingci thought to herself, that’s way too much! But she wasn’t here to debate with Lin Lang, so she naturally wouldn’t retort. She went along with Lin Lang’s words, “Since I’ve received your kindness, it’s only right to treat you to a meal as a token of gratitude, right?”

To successfully schedule the meeting, I even emphasized: “Also, regarding the matter you mentioned to Lawyer Zhang a couple of days ago, I wanted to update you on its progress.”

Lin Lang originally went out of her way to be a hero, specifically to get on this line, so there was no way she could refuse. Moreover, a new subplot developed—same name, but a different surname.

That means there was a major upheaval in her family.

And this change must be because her dad wronged her mom!

Reasonably guessing, when a man gets rich, he becomes bad and has an illegitimate child outside! And it must be the peculiar mindset unique to middle-aged men that “the family fortune should be left
to the son,” otherwise, it wouldn’t provoke such a decisive reaction from the legal wife and their only daughter.

She readily agreed, “Then I’ll shamelessly mooch a meal from you. You pick the time and place?”

Ruan Qingci obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was much lighter: “I’m near your company right now. When do you get off work? I’ll come pick you up.”

Lin Lang is already numb.

When filling out the record, after entering the company name, some of my information became as transparent as glass to these people. Since the He family knows, there’s no reason the Ruan family
wouldn’t know.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, “No overtime today, I’ll leave right after work at six.”

A soft and clear voice from the other side reached my ears: “Zone F, right? I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”

When Lin Lang came down, the sun was still so bright that it was hard to look at directly. She casually walked out with one hand in her pocket.

The phone kept vibrating. She took it out and saw that in the work group chat, a bunch of people were spamming.

“Whoa, whoa! What did I just see? A real-life version of a BMW, luxury cars, and beautiful women! Each one is enough to drive anyone crazy!”

With these words, a photo of a beauty leaning against the side of a car waiting for someone was attached. The woman in the photo seemed to be glowing.

Lin Lang recognized the person above immediately as Ruan Qingci.

“Sister, all you need is me by your side!”

“Get lost, people upstairs! The big sister is clearly here to pick me up!”

“Get those above out of the way! Miss, look at me, young and handsome, I can be adopted into your family. Can the betrothal gift be a house near the park? Please!”

“I saw it too! That waist, those legs, that chest, I can do it too. Sister, don’t be so rigid about gender!”

“I want to cuddle with the older sister.”

Amidst the drooling of a group of infatuated beauty enthusiasts, a few pieces of information stand out glaringly.

“Being a woman is great; just find a rich guy and you’ll have everything.”

“Yeah, if we can’t keep going, we can still get married. We’re different.”

As soon as these strange things appeared, the group chat filled with infatuated fans fell silent for a moment.

Lin Lang’s fingers danced across the screen, and for the first time, he sent a message in the group: “What the hell?”

Her words were like flipping a switch, and the group chat erupted in a flurry of comments.

“What era did this grudge come from?”

“This mindset is just despicable. In short, other people’s success is all due to unfair dealings, while one’s own success is entirely based on strength!”

“Someone like him can still succeed. Don’t be ridiculous! Heaven has eyes!”

“Ha! What’s the big deal? If you don’t succeed, it’s just being unappreciated. Anyway, they always have their own ways!”

“Just can’t admit that others are truly excellent, while I am truly lacking!”

The few people who were insulted were still not convinced, and a brawl broke out between the two sides.

On one hand, they insist it’s about dating wealthy people; on the other hand, they insist it’s about being a rich second-generation.

Lin Lang silently cast a vote for the rich second generation.

Isn’t Ruan Qingci just a genuine second-generation rich kid?

It’s been ten days since this incident occurred. Although it ended without any major issues, it wouldn’t be accurate to say it didn’t have any impact.

Ruan Qingci’s current state can hardly be considered good.

This was the first feeling Lin Lang had when he approached.

Although she is still a stunning beauty who turns heads wherever she goes, compared to that night when she was full of energy and her smile was incredibly sweet, she now looks quite gloomy and haggard.

The whole person feels an indescribable fatigue.

The situation of the case, the two discussed it in the car.

Private space, you don’t have to worry about being overheard by others at all.

“The lawyer said that because it was an attempted crime, even if we win, it will only result in a sentence of a year and a half.”

“Moreover, given the current situation, whether we can win is still a fifty-fifty chance.”

“The police cannot determine at which stage the drug was administered. Based on the current clues, they can only estimate the approximate time.”

“Within the estimated time frame, I just happened to be on the road. The driver and the car are both from my family.”

Ruan Qingci’s expression grew colder, and the anger and hatred he was suppressing in his tone became increasingly intense.

“I drank water in the car, and the police also found the leftover bottle of water in the trash can near the underground parking area of my house. After testing, my fingerprints and saliva DNA were found on it, but there were no drug components in the water.”

Lin Lang hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

Silly girl, you can exchange bottled water!

Save a bottle of the water you drank before, then switch it with the one you spiked. That should do it.

Ruan Qingci quickly resolved her doubts.

“The police have checked the source of the bottled water, as well as the driver’s recent communication records, travel routes, and financial situation. The investigation shows that everything is fine.”

Lin Lang understood.

At the Qian’an Club, nothing suspicious could be found; the same goes for Ruan Qingci and He Jikai. It all seems to indicate that Ruan Qingci was unknowingly drugged somewhere, and when He Jikai
encountered the drugged Ruan Qingci, he impulsively tried to take advantage of the situation but collapsed before he could even start.

In this way, lacking crucial evidence, even if the lawsuit is a complete victory, the maximum sentence would only be a year and a half, not to mention that winning is not guaranteed.

After all, the He family isn’t just giving things away; they can also hire top-notch lawyers and defend themselves from many angles. For example, they could argue that He Jikai was just being a bit
flippant and had no criminal intent, and that it was Ruan Qingci and Lin Lang who overreacted and broke someone’s bone on the spot.

In short, it’s all just a misunderstanding.

Even if this angle can’t be cleared, it can still be said to be a romantic dispute.

This is also quite a headache. He Jikai has been pursuing Ruan Qingci for nearly two years, and his attitude towards everyone around Ruan Qingci, whether it’s her parents or friends and classmates, has been impeccably proper, earning him quite a bit of goodwill.

As for He Jikai preparing a camera and such that night, wasn’t he beaten to a pulp by Lin Lang before it even started? He didn’t record anything, just made up some excuse to get out of it.

Even if everyone can guess that this matter was orchestrated by He Jikai, if we can’t find conclusive evidence, it will all be in vain.

But to make matters worse…

“A few days ago, you told Lawyer Zhang about the He family contacting you. My dad said that girls are naturally at a disadvantage in this regard. If this really blows up, even if we win, it won’t matter much to the He family, but it will have a significant impact on me and my family.”

Ruan Qingci glanced at Lin Lang with an inexplicable look, but his voice softened considerably, hesitantly saying, “Moreover, if you get caught, it’s not impossible for the He family to turn against you.”

Lin Lang straightened his back and thought to himself, what a joke, not to mention anything else, just the fact that the He family wants his life makes it impossible to get through this hurdle.

In her eyes, there was a light that Ruan Qingci couldn’t understand, but her tone was exceptionally firm.

“No way. Although I might not be a good person, there are still basic principles to uphold.”

She is making a serious statement; I will stand firmly by your side!

Ruan Qingci suddenly felt a pang in her eyes. It seemed that the confusion and frustration of the past few days had finally found an outlet, gently soothed by someone.

These past few days have felt like an absurd play, revealing the hidden cruelty and absurdity of her family and relatives around her.

This left her physically and mentally exhausted.

After determining that the chances of winning were not very high, and even if she won, it would be a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of her own, her father openly and
secretly indicated that if it escalated, it would ruin her reputation and become a topic of gossip in the circle, having a very negative impact on her future, and even dragging down relatives and friends.

Even my mom has started to worry and waver, let alone the other relatives.

It seems that her entire worth as a person depends on whether she has a good reputation.

Her previous excellence and achievements are worth nothing and meaningless in the face of so-called pure reputation.

Previously kind and friendly relatives and friends in her eyes, when they heard that their interests might be affected, all stood by her father and urged her to do the same for just a possibility.

“After all, this matter is easy to talk about but hard to hear, isn’t it just a misunderstanding? Otherwise, that girl, how could she easily beat someone up like that?”

“How about this: the He family will apologize to you, and we’ll let this matter go. That way, everyone can maintain their dignity, and there won’t be any hard feelings.”

She even suspected that if it weren’t for her and her mother’s firm stance, her father might have considered letting her accept He Jikai’s pursuit.

This guess is truly chilling.

But she had a ridiculous premonition that her dad was thinking just that.
