Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

“What are you doing?”
“I’m on my computer. Why did you come in? Get out. Get out now.”
“Little kid, do you enjoy using the computer without any clothes on?”
Tao Xiaoyao quickly moved to his computer and stared at the files, feeling somewhat confused. There truly seemed to be a restriction preventing her from seeing the contents.
Apparently, her daughter had also read the journal but found it blank.
This unsettled Tao Xiaoyao. If she hadn’t known the plot, she couldn’t accept it either.
Though she’d once entertained the idea of herself and her daughter being linked with someone, anyone who tried would be swiftly dealt with by Tao Xiaoyao. But if it truly happened, she’d find it very uncomfortable.
Forget it, she’d figure it out when it happened. Right now, she didn’t have any reason to get close to Ye Aotian. If Ye Aotian sought her out, she’d decide then.
Chen Fan finished his journal, smiling contentedly as he waited for the reward to arrive.
Meanwhile, after reading the journal, Tao Xiaoyao made a silent decision.
“Chen Fan, I have something to handle. I’ll be going out for a while.”
“Yeah, go. Better if you don’t come back.”
Tao Xiaoyao left, randomly picking up a phone and calling some acquaintances.
“Demon, I didn’t expect you to call us.”
“I need a favor. Make someone leave Qincheng. For any reason, it doesn’t matter if he dies.”
“Just that? Easy. How long, how far, and where should we dump him?”
“Far enough. Preferably send him off to the coal mines. His name is Lang Qingfeng, a student at Qincheng Medical University. I want him on a ship within an hour. That simple.”
Chen Fan finished getting dressed, sat down for breakfast, and enjoyed the peaceful start to his day off. The plot would continue, but he wouldn’t be involved unless Lang Qingfeng sought him out. The story here was simple.
Lang Qingfeng, as a top student in medicine, held a prominent role at school. However, Ye Aotian’s arrival completely shook his position, making Lang Qingfeng uncomfortable enough to retaliate by sabotaging Ye Aotian’s experiments and exams, even trying to get close to female leads. In the end, Ye Aotian would beat him up, and things would finally calm down.
But that beating was a setup by Chen Fan; students who got into trouble at school would have to bear the consequences. Without a medical license, the school naturally wouldn’t issue him one.
Chen Fan enjoyed this plot immensely. After all, it reminded him of his own student days; he sometimes thought it’d be nice to go back to school. With his current status, he could easily crush the students there. Sadly, this storyline didn’t involve him, so he couldn’t jump in for fun.
Meanwhile, Zhu Yeqing finished preparing breakfast and, resting her chin on her hand, looked attentively at her young master. No matter how she looked, he was always so handsome, so charming.
Chen Fan avoided looking at her. Since her birthday, she’d grown increasingly unsettling, watching him intently all morning. Even when he showered, she’d ask him eight times if he needed a towel.
If he hadn’t locked the door, she’d probably have barged in.
Tao Xiaoyao returned, sat at the dining table, and said, “I have something to discuss. I seem to have gotten into trouble. Can your family help me handle it?”
“My father told me to respect you, so solving something like this shouldn’t be difficult. Even if you killed someone, it could be managed. What happened?”
“I killed someone.”
“And? Aren’t you an assassin? Killing is normal for you. Does this kind of thing require my family’s intervention?”
Tao Xiaoyao replied, “Not exactly. The deceased was a student who had improper intentions toward my daughter, so I found someone to bind him. But on the way, the kid broke free, jumped from the car, and died.”
Chen Fan felt a sinking feeling, staring hard at Tao Xiaoyao.
“Who died? The principal’s son?”
“No, he was a top student, Lang Qingfeng, a high achiever.”
Chen Fan’s anger flared instantly. “Don’t tell me it’s that Lang Qingfeng from Qincheng Medical Academy! I can’t handle that. How am I supposed to negotiate with the dean?”
Lang Qingfeng was dead. The key figure who tied the plotlines together in the campus arc was dead.
Chen Fan was utterly exasperated, glaring at Tao Xiaoyao. “You killed him just because he flirted with your daughter? That’s really boring of you. Sorry, I can’t deal with this.”
“I was just joking. Why so serious?”
Chen Fan exhaled, saying, “Next time, don’t joke around like that. I’m not all-powerful, and neither is the Chen family.”
“I can handle it myself.”
“Wait … so you’re saying you can handle it, but he’s still dead, right?”
“Yes, why? Did you know him?”
Zhu Yeqing mentally applauded Tao Xiaoyao — she was ruthless, taking out a key antagonist before he could even appear.
Chen Fan’s head started aching. Apparently, in the plot, Tao Xiaoyao did kill this kid. But could she not have waited a bit longer? What was the rush?
Just then, his phone rang. It was his father. He answered.
“Was it you who reported Ye Aotian’s stock decline?”
“It was Lin Qingyue. The Lin family probably decided to make the first move.”
“Well done. I wasn’t wrong about Xiao Yue. She knows how to take care of details. How’s the handling on that end?”
Chen Fan replied, “Ye Aotian chose to apply for certification at the medical academy.”
“Qincheng Medical Academy?”
Chen Fan confirmed.
Chen Tianqiang said, “That could be tricky. Regular schools are easier to deal with, but Qincheng Medical Academy is tough. The school avoids interference from people like us. It’s hard to have any influence there. Anyway, the stock’s decline doesn’t matter; just have professionals handle it. You don’t need to stay home anymore.”
