Who's going to be the female lead's simp? Aren't the supporting female characters mor

In the northern suburbs of Haicheng, there is a hidden building that is actually a private club but is actually a health resort.

The room was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant, mixed with the bitter aroma of some expensive Chinese medicine. The curtains were drawn tightly, and only the cold blue light emitted by the sophisticated medical instruments illuminated the pale face on the hospital bed.

Chu Xuan gripped the bedsheet tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down like beads from a broken string.

"Bear with it." A cold, electronic voice came from the speaker by the bedside. "This is the final treatment. If you can't even endure this little bit of pain, what do you have to fight Bai Jingyou with?"

Chu Xuan gritted his teeth, letting out a low growl like a wild beast.

It was excruciating pain from the bones being forcibly healed under the influence of drugs, as if countless ants were gnawing at the bone marrow.

Half an hour later, the instrument stopped humming.

Chu Xuan was panting heavily, as if he had been pulled out of the water.

He reached out with trembling hands and pulled back the covers.

The leg that had been broken and was already somewhat atrophied, though still wrapped in gauze, no longer felt heavy like dead flesh; instead, it was replaced by a long-lost, faint sensation.

He tentatively moved his toes.

Moved.

A surge of ecstasy welled up inside him, followed immediately by overwhelming hatred.

"Did you see that message?" the electronic voice sounded again.

Chu Xuan grabbed the tablet computer next to him. The screen displayed the news Li Yan had spread: [A Marriage of Convenience! Young Master Bai of Qianyu Technology and Heiress of the Jiang Family will announce their marriage at a press conference the day after tomorrow!]

The accompanying picture was a photo of Bai Jingyou and Jiang Mengyao at a banquet in the past. They were a handsome couple, which stung Chu Xuan's eyes.

"I'm going too..." Chu Xuan's voice was hoarse, each word like shards of broken glass, "I'm going to kill Bai Jingyou! I'm going to expose his true colors in front of everyone!"

"Killing him is the worst possible strategy." The electronic voice carried a hint of mockery. "However, causing some trouble would be a good idea. That's Bai Jingyou's territory, and it's where he's at his most triumphant. If we can humiliate him there, or even... give that Miss Jiang a fright, then the show will be much more interesting."

"Give him to me." Chu Xuan propped himself up and sat up, his eyes as sinister as a venomous snake. "I want him to regret being born into this world."

"The person is already waiting for you outside. Don't disappoint me, Young Master Chu."

……

Two days later, in the auditorium of Haicheng University.

As the highest institution of learning in Haicheng, this auditorium, which can accommodate two thousand people, has always been a coveted venue for various large-scale events.

Today was especially lively, with red banners flying everywhere, congratulatory flower baskets piled up at the entrance, and even reporters from several media outlets who had gotten wind of the situation were setting up their equipment.

The event will begin at 3 PM.

Several black vans quietly pulled up in the alley behind the auditorium.

The car door opened, and Chu Xuan stepped out, leaning on a black cane.

He wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, but that couldn't hide the raging fire burning in his eyes.

Behind him followed more than twenty burly men in plain clothes, each with a fierce expression and bulging waistbands, clearly carrying weapons.

"Remember, rush in, smash everything in sight, make the scene as chaotic as possible," Chu Xuan ordered in a low voice, his tone carrying a chilling undertone. "If you see Bai Jingyou, beat him to a pulp. If anything happens, someone will cover for you."

"yes!"

A group of people rushed toward the back door of the auditorium like wolves and tigers.

The door wasn't locked and was easily pushed open.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath, imagining Bai Jingyou's panicked expression, imagining Jiang Mengyao screaming for help in the chaos, and the scene of him appearing like a divine soldier descending from the sky... The image was so beautiful that it made his blood boil.

"Let's do it!"

At his command, more than twenty burly men kicked open the door leading to the inner area and roared as they rushed in.

"Bai Jingyou! You get the hell out here!"

Chu Xuan, leaning on his cane, followed behind with a loud roar, his momentum unstoppable.

However, the expected scream did not occur.

The anticipated chaos did not occur.

The only response he received was the echo of his roar in the hall.

"Get out...come out...come here..."

Chu Xuan suddenly raised his head.

The huge auditorium was brightly lit and the air conditioning was on full blast.

Two thousand red velvet chairs were neatly arranged, but no one was there.

On the platform, there was only one table and one chair.

Li Yan was sitting there with his legs crossed, holding a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand, and a bottle of cola in front of him.

Seeing the group of people rushing in aggressively, he didn't even stand up; he just lazily spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells into the trash can.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Chu?" Li Yan picked up the microphone on the table, his voice amplified by the speakers, making the entire auditorium buzz. "You're quite nimble on your feet, aren't you? You can walk on the floor so quickly?"

Chu Xuan froze on the spot, his face turning deathly pale.

"Where is he? Where is Bai Jingyou?!" he roared hysterically.

"Brother You? Brother You is having afternoon tea with his wife at the Provence restaurant right now." Li Yan shrugged, looking at him like he was an idiot. "This kind of low-end recruitment event, I only do this because I brag in the group chat, I didn't expect anyone to actually believe it?"

He stood up, brushed the crumbs off his hands, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"But since you're here, don't rush to leave."

As Brother You said, this is just a job fair.

However, they weren't hiring employees, they were hiring...

Snapped.

Li Yan snapped his fingers.

The second-floor stands of the auditorium were instantly illuminated by bright lights, and dozens of security guards in uniforms and holding riot shields stood up in unison.

At the same time, the unlocked back door slammed shut with a loud bang, followed by the sound of a lock being locked.

"...It's a punching bag." Li Yan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "Close the door, beat the dog!"

……

"ah!!!"

With a furious roar, an expensive vase was smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces.

Inside an abandoned port warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Chu Xuan was covered in wounds, his clothes were torn to shreds, and his black cane was broken in two.

If it weren't for the experts sent by that mysterious group risking their lives to cover him, he would probably have walked out of that auditorium lying flat on his back again today.

shame.

An unprecedented humiliation.

He thought he was a vengeful demon, but in Bai Jingyou's eyes, he was just a clown, a joke to be used as practice for his subordinates.

"Bai Jingyou... I killed him! I must kill him!" Chu Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, like a wounded beast, as he paced back and forth in the empty warehouse.

Ring ring—

The phone that was lying on the ground rang.

Chu Xuan lunged forward, grabbed the phone, and roared into the other end, "This is your plan? This is the opportunity you talked about?! I've been made a fool of! If you can't avenge me, I'll..."

"Calm down."

The voice on the other end of the phone remained completely calm, even carrying a hint of amusement, "Have you vented your frustrations, Young Master Chu?"

"you……"

"Today's failure was entirely within my expectations," the mysterious man said calmly. "Bai Jingyou isn't stupid; that presentation was a trap set for you. I sent you there only to test two things."

"First, your determination. Very good, you truly hate him to the core."

"Secondly, Bai Jingyou's vigilance. It seems he's more troublesome than I imagined; he has a strong grip on the school."

Chu Xuan, panting heavily, gripped his phone tightly: "What do we do now? I've become a laughingstock, the whole of Haicheng is laughing at me!"

"A joke? No, this is just an appetizer."

The mysterious man's voice deepened, carrying a chilling, sinister quality. "Since conventional methods won't work on him, let's resort to dirty tricks. Chu Xuan, look up."

Chu Xuan subconsciously raised his head.

Deep inside the warehouse, a huge projection screen suddenly lit up.

The footage is shaky and has low resolution, clearly indicating it's an old, secretly recorded video.

The time displayed in the bottom right corner is twelve years ago.

The background is a dimly lit private room.

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat in the picture.

Although he was much younger than he is now and his hair was still thick, he recognized him at a glance.

Bai Zhenhua. Bai Jingyou's father, and the current head of the Bai family.

Sitting opposite Bai Zhenhua were two men dressed in casual clothes, but with dignified expressions.

They were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts. On the table was a black leather suitcase, which was open, revealing stacks of red banknotes and several documents that looked like land approvals.

Although Chu Xuan couldn't recall their names, they looked very familiar to him.

He had seen these faces in recent anti-corruption news.

"This is..." Chu Xuan's pupils contracted sharply.

"Twelve years ago, the Haicheng West District redevelopment project. That was the Bai family's first pot of gold." The voice on the phone sounded like a whisper from hell. "What Bai Zhenhua did to get that land is recorded clearly here. Bribery, bid rigging, and even... there's something more interesting."

The scene shifts, and Bai Zhenhua, seemingly drunk, is seen with his arm around one of the men's shoulders, pointing out the window and laughing loudly: "As long as we get rid of those holdouts, even if it means burying a few people inside, this building will still be built!"

The video abruptly ended.

The warehouse was deathly silent.

Chu Xuan felt his hands and feet were ice-cold, but his heart was pounding wildly.

This is no longer just business smear. This is a bomb. This is a nuclear bomb capable of uprooting the entire Bai family, sending them to prison, or even to the guillotine!

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." The mysterious man chuckled. "Young Master Chu, do you like this gift?"

As Chu Xuan stared at the dark curtain, the twisted anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a chilling ecstasy.

He stared at the dark void with a ferocious grin.

"I love it... I love it so much."

"Bai Jingyou, this time, I'll make your whole family pay with their lives."
