Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

After returning to the yard, Yi Mu rushed straight to the sink and rubbed the hand that had touched Li Ningxiang vigorously with soap.

His expression was full of disgust, as if that brief contact had brought him great uncleanness.

The water was rushing and soap bubbles were appearing and disappearing in his hands.

His movements were extremely rough, and his hands were rubbed red, but he still refused to stop.

At this moment, the mirror in front of him reflected the figure of Hua Chaochao.

Hua Chaochao stood behind Yi Mu, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded across her chest, watching with interest as he washed his hands in an almost self-mutilating manner.

After watching for a while, seeing that Yi Mu had no intention of stopping, Hua Chaochao raised an eyebrow and teased, "Are you going to rub a layer of skin off your hands before you stop?"

Yi Mu pretended not to hear it, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger.

"It's really interesting. It was obviously you who took the initiative to pinch him, and now you are acting so disgusted." Hua Chaochao continued.

After hearing this, Yi Mu paused for a moment, but soon continued rubbing, as if he was really doing as Hua Chaochao said, and would not stop until he washed off a layer of skin.

Indeed, with his ability, he had plenty of ways to intimidate Li Ningxiang without touching her, but for the sake of caution, he did not use them.

That's an ability that only a ninth-level martial artist has, and Hua Xi was present at the time. If he revealed that he was a ninth-level martial artist, with Hua Xi's intelligence, she would inevitably become suspicious.

Hua Chaochao doesn't know his painstaking efforts and only makes fun of him.

She had clearly called Li Qingchi over, but she still pretended to hand him over to Li Ningxiang, making him sad.

Seeing Yi Mu remained silent, Hua Chaochao tilted her head and asked, "Are you angry?"

The last time he was like this was on Happy's birthday, when they were buying toys in the supermarket and she told strangers that she was his sister.

He hasn't changed at all. He stops talking when he's angry.

It’s okay if he doesn’t talk, she has plenty of ways to make him speak.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, let me change the question - have you acted enough?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soap in Yi Mu's hand instantly fell off and fell into the sink with a "pop".

He quickly raised his head and looked at Hua Chaochao in the mirror in shock, with obvious panic on his face.

"Oh, you finally responded. I thought you could keep pretending." Hua Chaochao raised the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic smile.

"It's really hard for you to pretend you don't like me."

Yi Mu turned around slowly and asked in a hoarse voice: "When did you know?"

"In the beginning."

"If you ask me, you are not suitable for acting. Every time you look at me, your eyes can't hide anything, and your deliberate indifference is full of flaws."

With every word Hua Chaochao spoke, Yi Mu's face turned paler.

"Then...why didn't you expose me earlier?"

Hua Chaochao shrugged: "I just want to see how long you can perform, it's so interesting."

Yi Mu stood with his back against the cold, hard marble countertop, his fists clenched, his eyes gradually turning red, his voice choking with sobs: "Are you trying to... drive me away by making it clear now?"

Hua Chaochao felt helpless when she saw Yi Mu's aggrieved and pitiful appearance.

Here it comes again, this anxious and fearful nature.

God knows clearly that she really didn't have that idea. She said those words just to divert his attention and stop fiddling with his hands.

Now, my hands are no longer in pain, but I have become a crybaby.

How should I put it? I feel like my good intentions aren’t rewarded.

Well, if good deeds were rewarded, she wouldn't be here now.

Thinking of this, Hua Chaochao suddenly lost his mood and his expression became cold.

"You can go if you want, just don't bother me."

After saying this, Hua Chaochao turned and left.

Yi Mu was left standing there at a loss, not understanding what he had said wrong.

……

the other side.

Li Qingchi thought deeply about what Hua Chaochao said before she left.

The result of thinking is that Hua Chaochao would not say those words for no reason, there must be something wrong in the study.

So he immediately ordered people to search the study carefully.

After a thorough investigation, I found something that shouldn't be here.

A bug attached to the back of a painting.

Li Qingchi clenched the bug in his hand, his face was terribly gloomy, and a chill seemed to be spreading all over his body.

He was careless. If Ye Xiao hadn't reminded him in time, he might still be foolishly talking to Shen Kun, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Who on earth dared to tamper with his study?

"You'd better hide from me and don't let me catch you." Li Qingchi whispered into the bug in his hand, his voice filled with murderous intent.

After saying that, he crushed the bug and ordered coldly:

"Catch everyone who has been near this place in the past few days. I want to interrogate them one by one."

at the same time.

Hua Xi, who had just finished her shift, took off her headphones. Her face looked extremely serious, as if she had encountered some difficult problem.

Zhang Dingkai, who was on duty with him, came over and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy? Did you hear something?"

Hua Xi frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Li Qingchi found the bug."

Zhang Dingkai was shocked when he heard this: "You found out so quickly? Didn't you hide it a little deeper?"

He entered the study after Hua Xi had hidden the bug, so he didn't know where Hua Xi had placed the bug.

Hua Xi: "It doesn't matter how deep you hide it. He searched the entire study."

Before the bug was discovered, she could hear all of Li Qingchi's conversations, including his order to search his study.

"What?" Zhang Dingkai was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. "You mean, the bug was not discovered by accident, but he found it deliberately?"

Hua Xi didn't answer, but her expression said it all.

Zhang Dingkai asked anxiously, "What should we do next? Will Li Qingchi find us?"

"It's not that easy. We should keep a low profile during this period and not attract his attention."

……

The two talked as they walked towards the dormitory. Zhang Dingkai was like a bee, circling around Hua Xi, the "flower".

Just as they were about to reach the dormitory door, several guards suddenly walked out of the dormitory building.

The two sides passed each other.

However, after they passed by, one of the tall guards turned around and looked at them.

His gaze fell on Hua Xi and stayed there for a moment.

Hua Xi seemed to sense something and turned her head back, but she only saw the backs of the guards.

Zhang Dingkai noticed Hua Xi's actions and turned around to look, "What's wrong? What did you see?"

"Nothing." Hua Xi withdrew her gaze.
