Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

She said as she tossed the oranges back into the basket.

Just don’t eat it.

She gave it to others to eat.

Fu Lan slowly closed his only remaining eye and took a deep breath, as if to suppress all his anger.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes again, and there seemed to be an endless storm hidden in his deep eyes.

"Don't worry, tell me what your plan is, otherwise I won't be at ease."

From beginning to end, she never revealed what her plan was, but just kept telling them to wait and not to be anxious.

But how could he not be anxious? If it weren't for her intervention, he might have completed his revenge plan long ago.

"My plan?" Hua Chaochao's fingers tapped the edge of the basket lightly, making a crisp sound. "That's hard to say."

Fu Lan: "Then put it simply."

Hua Chaochao: "To put it simply, there is no specific plan."

After all, she often acts on her own accord.

As long as the outcome remains unchanged, the process is not important.

Fu Lan was stunned.

What is this without a concrete plan?

Fu Lan's face instantly turned pale. He looked at Hua Chaochao in disbelief, his voice trembling with anger: "Are you kidding me?"

Hua Chaochao was looking at the basket of oranges, wondering whether to give it to Happy. Hearing this, she glanced at him nonchalantly and asked, "Do I need to play tricks on you?"

"Know your position clearly. If I take your life now, it will have no impact on the entire situation." Hua Chaochao's voice was filled with a strong sense of oppression, like a sharp sword piercing Fu Lan's heart.

Fu Lan is a dispensable person to Hua Chaochao.

He was the biggest villain in the original plot, but now he is not, she is.

She kept him only because she thought he was obedient. If he disobeyed her, she would send him to death without mercy.

Fu Lan listened to Hua Chaochao's words and tried to calm himself down.

He is not afraid of death, but he cannot die.

He wanted to stay alive, he wanted to witness the demise of the four great families with his own eyes. Only then would he feel at ease to stay with Ji Yuzhen.

"I understand. I won't ask about your affairs anymore." Fu Lan gritted his teeth and tried to keep his voice calm.

Hua Chaochao snorted coldly, picked up the orange basket and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she left a message: "Keep an eye on Gu Tu, don't let him go out and cause trouble for me."

Now is not the time for Gu Tu to appear.

Gu Tu is a man who easily acts on impulse. If he is not watched closely, he might really act impulsively and fight to the death with Li Qingchi.

For example, last time, he heard that the three clan leaders Song Guwei, Li Qingchi and Qi Man had gone to Xuan Palace, and was worried that they would embarrass Ji Xianchen, so he rushed over to rescue them.

If Fu Lan had not discovered it in time and stopped him, Hua Chaochao's plan would have been disrupted.

……

When Hua Chaochao pushed open the gate with the basket, she unexpectedly bumped into Yi Mu who was about to go out.

"Where are we going?" Hua Chaochao asked with a raised eyebrow.

However, Yi Mu said nothing, looked at Hua Chaochao expressionlessly for two seconds, then turned and went into the house.

Hua Chaochao was left standing there with a question mark on her head.

What was his reaction?

As if hearing Hua Chaochao's voice, Happy rushed out of the house and circled around Hua Chaochao happily.

Compared to Yi Mu's coldness, Happy was extremely enthusiastic, making Hua Chaochao forget about Yi Mu all of a sudden.

Hua Chaochao touched Happy's head and said, "Happy, look what I brought you?"

Happy looked at the basket in Hua Chaochao's hand and barked happily: "Woof! Woof! (It's orange!)"

"Yes, it's oranges." Hua Chaochao walked to the grass next to her, put down the basket, sat down and started peeling oranges.

She peeled the orange skillfully, revealing the juicy flesh.

After peeling it, she fed the whole orange directly to Happy.

Happy has a big mouth, so it can easily hold a whole orange.

Happy seemed to like the food very much. After eating, he stared at the basket and kept wagging his tail, looking like he couldn't wait.

Hua Chaochao noticed it and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"

"Woof! (Think!)"

That's right. Oranges are so delicious, only a guy like Fu Lan who doesn't know the value of things would not want them.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps was heard. Hua Chaochao ignored it and picked up another orange to peel it.

"Dogs can't eat too many oranges." Like the previous expression, this sentence also has no emotion.

Hua Chaochao kept moving her hands and said nonchalantly, "It's OK as long as it doesn't kill me."

With her around, how could Happy have any problems eating?

Yi Mu didn't say anything else, but he didn't leave either. He just stood there quietly, watching the harmonious scene of the man and the dog without any expression on his face.

Hua Chaochao peeled the third orange, threw it into Happy's mouth, stood up, and turned his gaze to the person next to him, "It seems that you have thought it through."

"I'll give you a chance to choose again. If you regret it, you can leave now."

Since I've made it clear that I no longer like her, there's no point in staying with her.

Hua Chaochao was very humane and let Yi Mu choose to stay or leave.

When Yi Mu heard Hua Chaochao's words, the expression on his face almost couldn't be maintained.

After a long while, he finally said, "I won't leave."

He would never leave her.

There was a faucet a few steps away. Hua Chaochao walked over, turned on the faucet and started washing her hands.

After hearing Yi Mu's answer, she was not too surprised, but just a little confused.

Turning off the water, she turned around to face Yi Mu, staring at him sharply, "Reason?"

Yi Mu met her gaze, his expression unchanged: "Because of Gu Tu."

"I want to find him."

Hua Chaochao understood, "So you think you can find Gu Tu by following me?"

"Do you still think that I will agree to hand Gu Tu over to you?"

Yi Mu clenched his fists, "I know he can be useful to you. I can wait until you no longer need him."

"Okay, wait." Hua Chaochao reluctantly accepted this reason, "Go pack your things and follow me later."

"Okay." Yi Mu tried his best to suppress his inner excitement and responded calmly.

……

Li Biao and his companions were not in the courtyard.

Hua Chaochao has been here for so long but hasn't seen anyone.

No need to guess, they must have gone out to hide.

Well, who can stay at home with Yi Mu, a cold-faced evildoer?
