I never expected to end up in this kind of role.

But it's not bad either; at least you live a carefree life, without so many moral constraints or worries. Live for the moment, make the most of this life.

However, when Li Mu saw the system task, his forehead turned black.

System task: Do you sometimes feel that being a good person is too tiring? Then become a villain who bullies men and women, and fight evil with evil.

Li Mu rubbed his forehead speechlessly. What kind of bizarre task was this, that allowed him to act as the villain with such righteous indignation?

But why do I find it so exciting? Actually, sometimes it's good to let loose a little. Isn't it said that everyone has a devil inside them?

According to Taoism, this is the inner demon, and everyone has one. What we should do is not escape it, but rather go with the flow, adapt to it, and understand it. Only then can we control it and avoid being influenced or controlled by it.

Some things can only be understood, and only through experience can one overcome fear and become fearless.

Just like the Buddhist saying goes, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

You have no butcher's knife in your hand, you're just an ordinary person, how can you let go, how can you become a Buddha? You probably have to learn from Tang Sanzang and go through eighty-one tribulations.

After saying all that, Li Mu was just trying to find a reason and excuse to act as the villain in the future. After all, if you do your theoretical work well, you won't feel so conflicted or guilty when you do something.

After spending a long time mentally preparing myself and considering what to do next, I suddenly heard the sound of rain pouring down outside, and on a whim, I stood up.

It's a little past three in the afternoon. He had just been half-lying on the sofa in the living room, closing his eyes and dozing off for a while.

Li Mu took out his phone and checked the time. There were still more than ten days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. He glanced at the pouring rain outside the window. The capital city was not like the south. There was not much rain. Even in summer, it was normal for it to go ten or twenty days or even a month without rain.

If he remembered correctly, the TV series opened about ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was raining heavily outside, and Gan Hong's ex-boyfriend drove her home. The two engaged in some ambiguous behavior in the car. During this time, Yu Huanshui called and said he would pick up the child after get off work and that Gan Hong didn't need to worry. However, he got off work late and didn't pick the child up on time, leaving the child standing alone at the school gate, soaked to the bone.

So, is today the day the TV series begins and the plot unfolds?

After all, rainy days are rare in Beijing, so the possibility is quite high. In addition, his apartment above Yu Huanshui's is indeed under renovation, and he has also seen Yu Huanshui a few times.

With so many factors combined, today's possibility is very high.

So! Li Mu pulled out a very professional digital camera from his home. He remembered that his girlfriend, who was a model, had pestered him to buy it. The original owner of this body wasn't interested in it and had just left it there.

Now, it's time to make a difference.

He grabbed his car keys, ready to leave, when his girlfriend heard the noise and rushed out, grabbing his arm and pleading, "You're going out? I'll go with you, we can stop by Chanel on the way..."

Li Mu patted her shapely buttocks: "I have to go out, you wait at home. Don't worry, you'll get your Chanel."

Li Mu's girlfriend kissed him on the cheek before happily going back to her room.

I took the elevator to the underground parking lot, found my car, and it was pretty good—a Land Rover Range Rover, a tool for young people who can't afford a supercar to show off.

They quickly drove to the residential area where Yu Huanshui lived, parked the car downstairs, and glanced around. Gan Hong shouldn't be back yet, which was good.

Holding an umbrella, I went to a coffee shop across from the residential area, found a suitable spot, ordered a coffee and some pastries, and enjoyed them while scrolling through my phone.

Half an hour later, a black Honda sedan stopped near the entrance of the residential area. Li Mu's eyes lit up, knowing that his target had arrived. He picked up his digital camera, aimed, and began to take pictures.

There were two people in the car, a man and a woman. The woman was Gan Hong, and the man was probably her first boyfriend.

After talking for a while, Gan Hong began to pour out her grievances in life.

“Ever since that car accident, he seems to have changed completely. He lost his fighting spirit, his energy, and his brain seems to have been damaged. He’s like a sleepwalker every day. I feel like I’m living with a liar and a block of wood. I can’t see the future, I can’t see any hope.”

“I’ve tried to accompany him to the doctor several times, but he won’t go. He just keeps acting like a pathetic little salesman, and even the child suffers because of him.”

"I really don't know how to go on living like this. Is it even possible to continue?"

Upon hearing Gan Hong's complaints, her first love immediately transformed into a warm and caring man, offering words of comfort. He reached out and took Gan Hong's hand, his gaze tender and affectionate. Just as he was about to say something more, Gan Hong's phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing that it was Yu Huanshui's, Gan Hong quickly and guiltily withdrew her hand, not wanting to accept it in the car, and picked up her umbrella to get out.

The man opened his arms, wanting to hug her affectionately. Gan Hong hesitated for a moment, hugged the man, and then hurriedly got off the car.

After filming all of this, Li Mu pretended to be a passerby, left the coffee shop, and followed Gan Hong into the residential area.

Gan Hong walked more than ten meters away from the car before answering the phone.

"Hey."

Yu Huanshui asked, "Where are you?"

Gan Hong looked around guiltily, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I...I'm at work, where else could I be!"

"Why are you calling now? Can't you talk to me at home?"

Yu Huanshui quickly and carefully said, "No... I just wanted to tell you that it's raining outside."

Gan Hong finally felt relieved: "I know, that's exactly why I wanted to get off work early to pick up my child! It's raining today, so the roads will definitely be congested."

Yu Huanshui said, "It's raining so hard, you shouldn't go. I'll go... I'll leave work a little early to pick you up."

Gan Hong said, "Ah! Good!"

After hanging up the phone, Gan Hong put away her phone and was about to reach the bottom of the residential building when a voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Ma'am, was that your boyfriend who just gave you the ride?"

Gan Hong was startled and turned to look. It was a strange man.

"what are you saying?"

Li Mu said, "I'd like to ask, was the person who gave you the gift just now your boyfriend?"

Gan Hong asked guiltily, "Why are you asking this?"

Li Mu said, "It's nothing. I just saw that you're so beautiful and wanted to know if you're single. If you have a boyfriend, then forget it. If not, may I pursue you, beautiful lady?"

Gan Hong was a little stunned, but also secretly pleased. After all, the man in front of her wasn't bad-looking and had quite a good presence. She was already a mother, and someone still liked her, chasing after her to ask if she was single. What woman wouldn't feel flattered?

However, a slight sense of smugness didn't mean she wanted anything to do with the man in front of her. After all, she was married. Her ex-boyfriend knew his limits, but this man didn't. What if he thought she was single and pursued her openly, only to be discovered by Yu Huanshui?

If people find out she's already married and the man who gave her the gift isn't her husband, it will be even harder to handle the situation.

You can only nod in agreement to let the other person give up and there will be no future.

"Yes! He's my boyfriend, I'm sorry!"

He turned and was about to leave.

Li Mu smiled smugly, like a little fox who had stolen a chick, and followed Gan Hong into the residential building.

Gan Hong looked at him with surprise.

"Why did you follow me? I already told you I have a boyfriend!"

Li Mu smiled faintly: "Unfortunately, I am your neighbor."

Gan Hong's expression changed drastically in an instant. She pointed at Li Mu and said, "You...you...you also live in this building."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right!"

Gan Hong persisted, saying, "How come I've never seen you before?"

Li Mu asked, "Is the house you just bought recently and is it being renovated?"

Gan Hong breathed a slight sigh of relief. The apartment she had just bought was still under renovation, and she probably didn't know many people in the neighborhood. With so many residents in the building, they probably didn't know which floor she lived on, that she had a husband, or her family situation.

Otherwise, why would the other person ask her if she was single and want to pursue her? Isn't that because they don't understand her?

Thinking about this, I felt a little relieved. If I just avoid it in the future, maybe it will pass.

But Li Mu's next words chilled her to the bone.

"Oh! By the way, Ms. Gan Hong, I forgot to mention, my house is right above yours, the one that's being renovated. Your husband even complained about the noise from our renovations, and Mr. Yu and I have even run into each other a few times!"

Gan Hong's expression changed drastically. Her eyes widened, and she pointed at Li Mu, her finger trembling as she said, "You know..."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, I know. You've been married before. Your husband is Yu Huanshui..."

Gan Hong panicked even more: "Then why did you do that just now?"

Li Mu said, "I'm just curious! I know you're married and I've met your husband. But seeing you being driven to the entrance of your apartment complex and acting so intimately just made me curious. I wanted to know what your relationship is..."

Gan Hong's fingers trembled as she said, "So you deliberately lied to me just now, trying to trick me into telling you something..."

Li Mu said, "It's not all a lie. Ms. Gan Hong, you are indeed very beautiful, and I like you very much. That's the truth."

Gan Hong became even angrier, and a blush rose on her face.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "I didn't mean to do anything. Didn't I already say? It's just pure curiosity."

Gan Hong said guiltily, "This is our family matter, it's none of your business."

Li Mu said, "I didn't say I wanted to interfere! I'm just curious. Maybe I'll kindly remind Mr. Yu when I run into him sometime."

Gan Hong's heart tightened: "What exactly are you trying to do? Do you think this will make me afraid of you? Let me tell you, Yu Huanshui listens to me the most. It's pointless for you to say anything; he won't believe you."

Li Mu grinned mischievously, "You can disbelieve words, but you can always believe videos, right?"

He waved the digital camera in his hand and said, "I took pictures of everything that happened at the entrance of the community just now."

"In addition, I also recorded someone's admission that they have a boyfriend, and I can let Mr. Yu hear it if necessary!"

Gan Hong's face flushed red and then turned pale, and it took her a while to calm down.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Li Mu grinned mischievously and said, "How about we go upstairs together, have a drink, and chat while we drink?"

Gan Hong's face immediately turned red: "You're dreaming...you're shameless...you..."
