The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"Ruoxi, are you alright?"

Behind Ye Linyuan, An Wangshu helped Xiao Ruoxi back and dialed the police.

"I'm fine. I... I was just careless. That bastard surnamed Pei is stronger than I thought."

Xiao Ruoxi sounded somewhat frightened.

For the first time, with Ye Linyuan present, Xiao Ruoxi stared intently at another person, simply because this person almost ruined her!

But she wouldn't admit defeat, and Xiao Ruoxi felt that it was better to be looked down upon than to deny herself!

"Is he that good? What should we do? Will my brother get hurt?"

An Wangshu panicked and wanted to rush over to help, but fortunately Xiao Ruoxi pulled her back.

Seeing An Wangshu's anxiety mixed with doubt, Xiao Ruoxi sighed and explained.

"Brother Yuan is the most powerful among our generation. He is the strongest in every aspect, including fighting. Four years ago, before he went abroad, he was already able to crush the national Sanda champion in the 80kg class. In terms of fighting ability alone, even the elite soldiers under my grandfather's command are ashamed of themselves."

"Although this guy surnamed Pei is very strong, he's far inferior to Brother Yuan. Just don't go up there and cause trouble."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ruoxi looked at An Wangshu properly for the first time.

"Sister Wangshu, you're Yuan-ge's sweetheart, and I can tell you like him. But let me tell you, there are plenty of women in the industry who like Yuan-ge. You can't possibly win him over by yourself. Besides, Su Shiyu is currently the fastest in terms of progress. So, to prevent Yuan-ge from being snatched away, let's form an alliance!"

"After we defeat the other competitors, we'll settle the score between us. Only the winner can marry Brother Yuan and become his wife."

what?

Marrying my brother...

An Wangshu's little brain suddenly went blank, her pretty face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head with an extremely shy expression.

However, if marriage can ensure my brother never abandons me, then marriage isn't out of the question...

Anyway, they're from different fathers and mothers~

If An Wangshu originally only hoped to gain familial affection, then at this moment, under Xiao Ruoxi's few words, the familial affection she hoped for had begun to gradually change.

On the other side, Xiao Ruoxi was naturally unaware that her few words had directly changed An Wangshu's mindset. At this moment, the little person in her heart couldn't help but take out a banner and wave it vigorously. The banner read, "Xiao Ruoxi, you are the smartest."

An Wangshu looks like an innocent little flower that's easy to manipulate. She's suitable as an ally or an enemy. Once everyone else is driven away, she'll definitely be no match for me on her own.

Speaking of which, I have an ally named Gu Shishi. Should I bring her in too...?

Forget it, let's not form an alliance of three. I'll form separate alliances with An Wangshu and Gu Shishi. Although our strength will be somewhat dispersed, it will be much easier to seize Yuan Ge later.

Brother Yuan, I will definitely become your wife!

Just as Xiao Ruoxi was making her plans, Pei Sijing was in a state of intense hatred for his enemy. He had only one thought in his mind: he was going to get back at him for the humiliation he had just suffered!

"Ye Linyuan, you lacked martial ethics before, and I was caught off guard and careless, which is why you ambushed me. This time, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Without much thought, he leaped up and delivered a flying kick to Ye Linyuan's neck!

"Be careful, Brother Yuan!"

"Brother, hide quickly!"

At this moment, both An Wangshu and Xiao Ruoxi, who had absolute confidence in Ye Linyuan, were on tenterhooks.

After all, that kick looked dangerous no matter how you looked at it!

Unlike An Wangshu and Xiao Ruoxi, whose faces were full of worry, Pei Sijing's face was full of excitement.

He had calculated that if he kicked Ye Linyuan, Ye Linyuan would be completely crippled from the neck down!

If he's lucky, Ye Linyuan will be a living dead!

He was still feeling smug, but the sharp pain in his foot made his face turn deathly pale.

Okay, so hard...

Looking down at the arm that had blocked her flying kick, Pei Sijing wondered if she was still half asleep...

That kick of his could break even a piece of mahogany as thick as a bowl, let alone a flesh-and-blood forearm. But now, Ye Linyuan's expression didn't change at all; instead, his calf was in excruciating pain, as if he had kicked not flesh and blood, but solid steel bars...

"That's it? Use a little more effort, Mr. Pei. Have you not eaten?"

Seeing Pei Sijing sweating profusely, Ye Linyuan gave a cold smile.

Although I can't kill someone in public, if I don't torture him until he's traumatized, he's not a Ye!

Moreover, this time I acted bravely and in self-defense, so even if I cripple him, the law will support me!

As for whether he would be no match for Pei Sijing, he had never considered that.

He had tested his own physical abilities; even if foreign boxing champions attacked him with all their might, he could feel it, but it would be difficult to cause him much damage.

To put it somewhat inappropriately, Pei Sijing's kick felt like someone gently patting his forearm with a sponge.

I felt something, but I wasn't hurt.

"That bastard!"

Pei Sijing almost fainted from anger at Ye Linyuan's words. All her effort in giving a kick was met with his merciless mockery.

But now, I shouldn't be thinking about whether I've been mocked, but rather how to gracefully exit the situation...

Although that kick had insulted him, it also brought him back to his senses, clearing his head from the throes of anger and resentment, and making him realize the difference between them.

He knew he was no match for Ye Linyuan; continuing the fight would only bring him further humiliation.

Thinking of this, Pei Sijing hopped back two steps on one foot, creating distance between herself and Ye Linyuan, before angrily cursing.

"Ye Linyuan, you homewrecker, you interfered in my relationship with Ruoxi! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have broken up with Ruoxi!"

Before Ye Linyuan could speak, Pei Sijing seamlessly followed up, this time addressing Xiao Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, I know I'm just a poor boy from the countryside, not as rich as him, but I've really worked hard for our future. I've been building our future, but why did you betray me when I loved you the most?"

"Pei Sijing, you...you're talking nonsense...you..."

Xiao Ruoxi was stunned. In all her life, this was the first time she had encountered such slander. Her finger, pointing at Pei Sijing, was trembling with anger.

As if she had just remembered something, Xiao Ruoxi sprinted to Ye Linyuan's side, hugged him tightly, and explained pitifully.

"Brother Yuan, Pei Sijing and I are not like that at all. I really have nothing to do with him. You have to believe me."

Pei Sijing couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Ruoxi, that idiot! If she hadn't run and hugged Ye Linyuan, people would still have been skeptical. But after she hugged him like that, they'd probably believe her ninety percent!

"Ruoxi, how could you say that? We love each other so much. I've made so many efforts for our future, delivering food for ten hours every day after get off work, just to give you the life you want. But you've abandoned our love for a few measly coins."

Ye Linyuan was completely dumbfounded.

My god, Pei Sijing isn't even the male lead, how can he be even more adept at twisting the truth than I am, the villainous second male lead...?

It seems I guessed wrong. Pei Sijing isn't the male lead, but a villain like myself!

As Pei Sijing made her accusations, the surrounding customers looked at Ye Linyuan. Xiao Ruoxi and An Wangshu's eyes changed. Originally, they thought it was just a rare act of bravery, but they didn't expect that there was so much "love and hate" involved!

This melon was so satisfying to eat!

"So that's how it is. It seems the man who was speaking and the woman hugging her mistress were originally a couple. But now that the man who was hugging the woman has appeared, the woman has fallen for someone else, which is why the wife is so angry and went too far."

"That must be it. In that case, it's understandable. Humph, I can't believe such a handsome young man would want to be a mistress. He's shameless."

"You really can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure a person by their appearance. He's got such a handsome face, but that's a waste."

"If you ask me, that woman is disgusting. She clearly has a boyfriend who loves her so much, yet she still chooses to be with the other woman."

"It's all about money. She's obviously dumped her poor boyfriend for a rich second-generation heir. And look, this rich second-generation heir even has a girlfriend."

"Wow, that's so cheap!"

"..."

Hearing the whispers around him, Ye Linyuan smiled without his eyes showing, which sent a chill down Pei Sijing's spine, making her feel as if she had fallen into a trap.

Following her heart, Pei Sijing turned to run away.

Anyway, Ye Linyuan and the others are surrounded and can't get away to deal with him.

Next time, next time I will definitely be fully prepared!

"Pei Sijing, have you forgotten that I just dealt with a group of people who slandered us? Now it seems I need to add you to the list."

Ye Linyuan took a step forward and decisively grabbed Pei Sijing's shoulder. No matter how he resisted, after a while, Ye Linyuan easily pinned him to the ground.

"Do you think that just because you have some ability, you can act recklessly and disregard the safety of other people's lives?"

"Honestly, based on what you just did, it can no longer be considered simple defamation; it should be considered the crime of provoking trouble. If I remember correctly, the crime of provoking trouble is punishable by imprisonment of up to five years, detention, or public surveillance, and in serious cases, imprisonment of five to ten years."

"In addition, you just tried to kill Ruoxi, which is considered attempted murder. At the very least, you could be sentenced to three to ten years in prison, and at worst, more than ten years in prison, life imprisonment, or even close to the death penalty."

"Tell me, will it be serious, serious, or serious...?"

Seeing Pei Sijing's increasingly pale face, Ye Linyuan spoke in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.

"No matter who's behind you, no matter what power or connections they have, the law is above all power and connections!"
