Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

After finally getting through four self-study classes, Hua Chaochao, who had done nothing the whole day, said: No, this is a waste of time. She will do something starting tomorrow.

Hua Chaochao and Hua Xi are day students, so they don't have to attend evening self-study and can leave school after school in the afternoon.

Uncle Wu had already arrived at the school gate and was waiting.

Hua Xi was alone before, so she didn’t ask a driver to pick her up. But now that Hua Chaochao is with her, she is unfamiliar with the place, so the Hua family arranged for Uncle Wu to pick them up from school.

As soon as Hua Chaochao got in the car, she received a WeChat message from Hua Yu.

Hua Yu: [How is it, Deputy Captain Chao Chao, did you see anyone who looks like Xiao Xi's boyfriend at school today? ]

Hua Chaochao raised an eyebrow at the message, then slowly typed: [Report to Team Yu, no findings. ]

To get from Baicheng No. 1 Middle School to Hua's house, one needs to pass through a bustling urban area. Hua Chaochao, who was sitting in the back seat, finished replying to Hua Yu's WeChat and looked out the window. When the car passed a milk tea shop, she squinted her eyes and suddenly said, "Uncle Wu, stop the car."

Hua Xi, who was sitting next to her, was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Hua Chaochao pointed at the milk tea shop and replied with a smile: "I want to drink milk tea. Do you want some, sister? I'll get off the car and buy some."

Then she asked Uncle Wu who was driving, "Uncle Wu, do you want milk tea? I'll buy some for you too."

Uncle Wu: "Thank you, Miss. I won't drink it. I'm old and can't drink anything too sweet."

Hua Chaochao looked at Hua Xi: "Sister, what about you?"

Hua Xi withdrew her gaze from the milk tea shop that Hua Chaochao pointed to and said, "I don't need it."

After a pause, he continued, "Do you need me to go shopping with you?"

Hua Chaochao unbuckled her seat belt and said, "No need, I can go buy it myself. Sister, you and Uncle Wu wait here for me, I'll be back after I buy it."

After saying that, Hua Chaochao opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the milk tea shop.

Hua Xi in the car looked at Hua Chaochao's back and didn't take her eyes off him for a long time.

Wu Bo thought Hua Xi was worried about Hua Chaochao, so he comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Miss, the milk tea shop is just next door, and she will be back soon."

Hua Xi withdrew her gaze and said "hmm" softly.

There are very few customers in the milk tea shop. Logically speaking, this milk tea shop is in a good location as it is located in the city center. Moreover, it is now the time when students are getting out of school, so it is impossible for there to be so few people in the milk tea shop. So what went wrong?

The problem actually lies with the staff of the milk tea shop.

Hua Chaochao pushed the door open and walked in after confirming that she was not mistaken.

She walked to the counter, but the cashier sitting behind the counter knew nothing about it and was still happily swiping his phone.

"A glass of lemonade, thank you." Hua Chaochao tapped the table with his fingers.

"Okay." The cashier only reacted when he heard the sound that a customer had arrived. He didn't even look up to see what the customer looked like. He just put down his phone and operated the ordering system to add a glass of lemon juice.

Looking at Lu Jie, who was busy working without even glancing at her, Hua Chaochao raised her eyebrows and asked, "How much?"

"Twenty dollars."

After Lu Jie finished placing the order, he picked up his phone to continue watching funny videos. As soon as he opened the screen of his phone, he seemed to realize something. He looked up suddenly and saw Hua Chaochao looking at him with a smile.

Lu Jie stood up straight in an instant, his eyes widened, and he said with trembling lips: "Tall, tall..."

Hua Chaochao lazily leaned against the counter, looking around the milk tea shop and interrupted him: "It seems that you are doing well, how about the others?"

Lu Jie was one of the people in Li Biao's group who failed to rob the hotel that day and ended up in the police station.

"They are all in the kitchen. Do you want me to call them out?" Lu Jie was ready to run and call for help as soon as Hua Chaochao nodded.

Hua Chaochao retracted her gaze and refused, "No, this is not the place to talk. Just take me to find them."

Although Hua Chaochao was the only customer in the store at that moment, there was no guarantee that someone else might come in to buy milk tea, so it was not safe to talk here.

Lu Jie immediately understood what Hua Chaochao meant, "I understand, I understand, please follow me."

Lu Jie brought Hua Chaochao to the kitchen.

The kitchen space is not small, and you can even put a square table in the aisle for playing cards.

This is the scene Hua Chaochao saw when she entered the kitchen - three people were playing Landlord in a nonchalant manner, and a man was standing by the kitchen counter cutting lemons.

When the three players heard the footsteps, they ignored them. Only Zheng Dingtong, who was making lemon tea for a new order, asked while cutting lemons, "Why did you come in? Is the customer urging you? Ask him to wait a moment. I'll be there soon."

After he finished speaking, two seconds later, Zheng Dingtong did not wait for Lu Jie's answer, but heard Lu Jie's anxious explanation -

"The truth is not what you see, Senior Master. We are very dedicated. We play cards because there are too few customers and we are bored."

When the words "senior master" were heard, the other four people stopped at the same time.

"What?! The senior master is here!" Zeng Yueliang was the first to react. He immediately threw away the cards in his hand and stood up to make room for Hua Chaochao. "Senior master, please take a seat."

Hua Chaochao didn't sit down. She looked at the panicked look on the faces of the few people. She laughed and said, "Why are you panicking? I'm not here to review your work. Just do what you are supposed to do."

"We know, but we still can't help but get nervous when we see you. We treated you so badly before, but you saved our lives, we..." Li Biao gradually choked up as he spoke. Seeing this, Hua Chaochao quickly stopped him from continuing.

"Stop it, I'm not here for you to be sentimental. Tell me, what's going on with this milk tea shop?" She really couldn't understand why a few grown men would open a milk tea shop here.

Li Biao suppressed the urge to cry and explained to Hua Chaochao from beginning to end: "It's like this. After we brothers came out of Giant Beast Ridge, we unanimously decided to repay you for saving our lives, so we took all the money we earned from previous missions and rushed all the way to Baicheng to find you. But when we arrived in Baicheng, we were confused because we didn't know where to find you. So we estimated that since you are a little girl, you must like to drink milk tea. It happened that Lao Zheng had learned beverage making for a period of time before becoming a mercenary, so we found the owner of this milk tea shop and discussed with him about buying his shop. The owner agreed, and we started running the milk tea shop, and at the same time hoped to run into you buying milk tea one day. Unexpectedly, we were lucky enough to have you come on the seventh day."

After hearing this long speech, Hua Chaochao said: "..."

Yes, how could they not be considered lucky? The store was located right on the road she had to pass. If it was located somewhere else, she would never have found them. She didn't like milk tea, so they had miscalculated.

"Now that you have found me, how do you plan to repay me for saving your life?" Hua Chaochao asked.

Li Biao answered without thinking: "Of course I will be your subordinate. Just say the word, and we will do whatever it takes!"

Li Biao's ambitious words almost made Hua Chaochao suspect that she had traveled to a martial arts channel and was discussing with her men about attacking a certain sect...
