Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse
Author: LordCeraz
Chapter 20 - Preserve Your Innocence in This World
At this moment, Chen Fan had no choice but to remain still. He could clearly feel that this woman was browsing through his computer, but he had to play his role well.
Chen Fanâs current act was sleepwalking. Only by pretending to sleepwalk could he explain the current situation.
Ling Yuyan opened Chen Fanâs computer and browsed through each folder.
As strange sounds began to play in the room, Ling Yuyan chuckled and said, âNot bad, your tastes are similar to mine.â
Actually, Ling Yuyan was trying to confirm one thingâwhere Chen Fan kept his diary. Was it a physical journal, or was it stored on his computer?
After confirming that the diary wasnât on the computer, Ling Yuyan slumped powerlessly into the chair.
For now, Ling Yuyan was sure of one thing: she could see Chen Fanâs diary. As for why he wrote the diary, she didnât care.
However, discussing the diaryâs content with Chen Fan would result in being unable to speak, meaning she couldnât let him know that she knew about the diary.
But what about the plot?
From Chen Fanâs diary rants, it seemed like the plot could be changed. In other words, the female leads didnât necessarily have to live according to the predetermined script.
But this theory still needed some testing.
Leaning back, her head accidentally touched Chen Fan.
âAh!â
Ling Yuyan was startled and quickly turned to look at Chen Fan.
At that moment, Chen Fan was staring off into the distance, not looking at her.
âYouâre such a strange sleepwalker, muttering all kinds of nonsense.â
After checking the computer, she got up and saw that Chen Fan hadnât moved. She went over to the bookshelf and started inspecting it. She flipped through several books.
âWho wouldâve thought? Youâve been hiding your true self. Youâve read quite a lot, havenât you? Interesting, a rich second generation pretending to be a fool.â
She casually picked up a book, waved it in front of Chen Fan, and then left.
Chen Fan moved to the window. After confirming multiple times that the woman wasnât coming back, he let out a sigh of relief and quickly opened his computer.
Actually, most of the plot in the story would unfold at his workplace, with very little happening at home. So, this house was almost like a blank space in the novelâs worldâa place where Chen Fan could rest and enjoy life.
Sitting in front of the computer, he opened it and checked his diary.
It seems like she didnât find anything.
Meanwhile, Ling Yuyan, who had just returned home and changed out of her night attire, was completely dumbfounded.
That candle was made from traditional Chinese medicine that her elders couldnât even resist. Could it be that this guy knows ancient martial arts?
Ling Yuyan recalled a detail: when she placed the scalpel on Chen Fanâs neck, it didnât draw any blood.
You have to know, her scalpel was custom-made.
Ling Yuyan had two main weapons: a scalpel, used for both close combat and long-range attacks, and silver needles, used as hidden weapons in close quarters. Normally, the scalpel would cut skin upon contact.
Suddenly, she started to feel sorry for the protagonist. If Ye Aotian were to fight with Chen Fan, wouldnât he just get played to death?
The other women reading the diary could barely hold back their laughter.
No. 7 turned on her computer, naturally having already looked into some information about Ling Yuyan. She was also aware of Ye Aotianâs investigation into ancient martial arts.
Following the clues, she could make some educated guesses. Previously, Ye Aotian had mentioned that he had two reasons for returning to Qincheng: revenge and pursuing an enemy.
Following the diaryâs clues, No. 7 found some information on Li Long and did a bit of further investigation.
A bar? No matter how she looked at it, Lin Qingyue didnât seem like the type of person who would go to a bar.
She was really looking forward to how things would unfold next.
Jin Lan, too, was concerned. As the top figure in power, she most wanted to maintain the current balance, but if Li Long were to die, the balance would be disrupted.
At that time, Zheng Qiangâs side would grow too powerful, something Jin Lan didnât want to see.
Peopleâs desires are insatiable.
It looked like she would have to prepare ahead of time and give Zheng Qiang a little warning. If no new forces could be nurtured, then she would have to suppress Zheng Qiangâs faction completely.
Before bed, Lin Qingyue glanced at the situation and, seeing that it had nothing to do with her, couldnât be bothered to care.
Who was Ling Yuyan? She didnât know and didnât care. All she knew was that the most detestable, despicable person in the world right now was Chen Fan. He was the most shameless, most rogue individual.
Before going to sleep, she touched her lips.
