Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

Jiang Aiyu...

She doesn't seem like the kind of woman who could manage a place like this.

"Miss Jiang, we're almost done piling up here, you see..."

The bald man rubbed his hands together, his face full of fawning smiles.

"Look, the five million loan that you promised us..."

Without making a sound, Jiang Aiyu pulled out a custom-made fruit knife from under her skirt.

Upon seeing the knife, the other person's expression changed drastically, and they immediately shut their mouth.

Jiang Aiyu said slowly, "It can't be considered finished until the very last moment."

She stroked the edge of the knife, admiring its sharpness.

"Moreover, even if you complete this game, there will be further challenges."

"I'm spending money to find happiness, not to do charity. You need to understand that."

Upon hearing her say that, the other person's expression completely changed.

The bald man wanted to argue a bit more, but just then, his underling, who was stacking dominoes, trembled and the dominoes fell to the ground with a thud.

The other dominoes also began to fall down.

Soon, a complete collapse ensued!

"Aaaaaah...!"

The bald man clutched his head, knelt down with a thud, and let out a pitiful cry.

"My five million!!"

In his view, what fell was not a domino, but a real five million.

Jiang Aiyu sighed regretfully and waved her hand.

"You can leave now. The game is over."

The bald man's attitude also underwent a complete 180-degree change.

He stood up abruptly, pointed at Jiang Aiyu's nose, and said, "This is simply an impossible task! How can anyone stack this pile of dominoes in five hours without making a single mistake?"

Jiang Aiyu turned around and glanced at Lu Chengzhou.

"This person is right behind me."

Lu Chengzhou: "???"

No!

I'm just a bystander, please don't drag me into this.

Realizing that things were not so simple, Lu Chengzhou silently took a step back.

But they soon hit a wall and had nowhere to retreat.

He turned around and glanced at the wall with a sullen expression.

A huge man, at least two meters tall, gave him a good-natured smile, revealing two rows of large teeth.

Lu Chengzhou clicked his tongue.

Seriously, what did these people eat to grow up so strong?

Jiang Aiyu took Lu Chengzhou's arm and said expressionlessly, "My man is very strong."

Lu Chengzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Jiang, you can't just say things like that..."

After all, these gangsters are not to be trifled with.

What if they stuff me into a sack?

I don't want to get into fights; if I get injured, I'll have to pay for medical treatment.

The bald man glared at Lu Chengzhou: "You? If you could, I'd do a handstand and have diarrhea, and eat a whole pound of it!"

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Hey, please don't do this! Please don't do this!

Isn't this just a complete freeloader?

With his systematic approach, he estimated that he could stack all these dominoes in just two hours.

but……

Lu Chengzhou didn't like showing off.

He has always been quite low-key.

"Hey, are you guys playing dominoes again?"

At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice rang out from behind the side door.

The door was pushed open.

The actress who had impersonated Jiang Aiyu walked out with a calm smile on her face.

However, she didn't go to Jiang Aiyu's side, but instead went to the bald man's side.

The bald man immediately composed himself, lowered his head, and respectfully called out, "Sister E."

Sister E?!

This name felt even more familiar to Lu Chengzhou.

Upon closer reflection, it seems this character is a bodyguard-like figure who appears later in the story.

Oh right, he's the male lead's bodyguard!

The male protagonist himself is quite skilled in combat, so the bodyguards are mostly just for show.

Therefore, the nature of the tasks assigned to the bodyguards he hired was different from that of ordinary bodyguards.

A typical bodyguard is only responsible for the employer's safety, but his bodyguards also need to be proficient in multiple languages ​​and have special skills such as lock picking and scaling walls.

One of the bodyguards who was described in particular was Sister E.

In the original work, she was also given a nickname, something like "Thousand-Faced Buddha"...

"So, why is the Thousand-Faced Buddha a woman?!"

"This name is so unsuitable for a girl's image."

"And what is this Sister E staring at me for?!"

Lu Chengzhou was internally ranting, but his face remained calm.

He could tell that Sister E's status in this establishment was higher than Jiang Aiyu's.

It is very likely that she is the real mastermind behind it all.

Most importantly, it seems that Sister E is planning to pretend she doesn't know him.

After glancing at him, his gaze turned to Jiang Aiyu.

"Miss Jiang, could you please go and check out another venue? I'm free today, and I'll be in charge of that venue."

Jiang Aiyu said "Oh" and prepared to take Lu Chengzhou to another game area.

"You can go first, but your friend has to stay."

Sister E looked at Lu Chengzhou again.

His gaze was ambiguous.

Lu Chengzhou felt a chill run down his spine.

Lu Chengzhou quickly shifted his gaze.

Sister E laughed and said, "My friend, since you're already here, why don't you stay and play a round? If you win, I'll give you ten million; if you lose..."

As she spoke, she deliberately paused for a moment.

Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but think, "Please don't tell me you want me to spend the night with you!"

"If you lose, you have to spend the night with me."

Lu Chengzhou rubbed his forehead, his face showing pain.

Ugh!

I knew things would turn out this way.

Women...

You're quite vengeful, aren't you?

Tonight, she'll definitely handcuff him to the railing and make him smell the snail rice noodles.

"Sister E, this won't do, this is my man."

Jiang Aiyu had already stepped back.

Hearing what Sister E said, she came back.

The hand gripping the knife tightened considerably.

Sister E sneered: "Your man? Jiang Aiyu, don't forget, I have leverage over you. Until your father successfully returns to the country, you have to do as I say, let alone with such a pretty boy?"

Lu Chengzhou, known as a pretty boy, remained silent.

Do I really look like a gigolo?

I'm not living off a woman...

Seeing that the two women were about to fight, Lu Chengzhou quickly intervened to stop them.

"It's just playing dominoes, right? I happen to want to play too, let's go."

"But……"

Jiang Ai hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

A hint of anxiety appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.
