Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Everything in the plot is going according to what Hua Chaochao had imagined.

Gu Tu has learned that he has been deceived and Ren Hui is not the murderer who hurt Shen Lanyi.

Shen Lingtan also told Li Qingchi that Fu Lan was still alive, and given Li Qingchi's character, he would definitely take action against Ji Xianchen in order to lure out Fu Lan.

Unfortunately, Li Qingchi didn't know that he had overestimated the father-son relationship between Fu Lan and Ji Xianchen, and was doomed to gain nothing...

this day.

After seeing off Shen Lingtan, Li Qingchi urged the laboratory to speed up their research while sending someone to "invite" Ji Xianchen.

Taking advantage of the short period of time when no one else arrived, Li Qingchi was not idle either, and started to deal with the problems left over from last night.

For example – the undercover issue.

Bai Sheng and Yi Mu clearly infiltrated the Li family's guards, but how come they were not detected during the inspection?

At this moment, the two persons in charge of this matter, Li Zhouyang and Wei Feng, were both kneeling in the lobby.

Next to them stood a trembling Li Xinhao.

He was dragged here by Li Zhouyang.

Li Zhouyang thought that he couldn't be the only one to be punished, so he would rather die with someone else as a scapegoat.

Li Qingchi sat on the main seat above with a gloomy face, his eyes coldly sweeping over the two kneeling people one by one. There was a strong sense of oppression in his eyes, as if it was real pressure, making people breathless.

He asked coldly: "Tell me, what is going on?"

When Li Zhouyang heard this, he immediately spoke up, "Grandpa, this is really not my fault. It was Xin Hao who came over and insisted on choosing two guards to accompany him out. He just happened to choose these two and avoided the facial inspection. It's all Xin Hao's fault. Blame him!"

He spoke with such confidence that he put all the blame on Li Xinhao.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingchi looked directly at Li Xinhao with an oppressive gaze, "Is it you?"

Li Xinhao was so frightened by this look that he knelt down with a plop, and said in a crying voice: "Grandpa, it's not me, I really didn't know they were fake. I just wanted to go out and play, and I picked two people at random. How could I be so capable of seeing through them. Grandpa, you have to believe me..."

Upon seeing this, Li Qingchi turned to look at Wei Feng. Wei Feng understood and recounted the situation in detail.

After hearing this, Li Qingchi was so angry that he couldn't help coughing twice. He shouted angrily: "You are not good at doing anything, but you are always causing trouble! Don't even think about running away, either of you! Get out of here and go to the training camp. You are not allowed to come back until you have advanced two levels!"

Li Zhouyang and Li Xinhao: !!!

When the two brothers heard the punishment, a thought flashed through their minds at the same time: It's over.

It's over. It's over.

Not to mention that the training camp is a place used by noble families to train servants and the environmental conditions are harsh, just to get promoted two levels there is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Both of them are martial artists with average talent in martial arts and have basically reached the bottleneck of what their talent can reach. If they want to further improve their level, they will have to put in several times more effort than ordinary people.

But they are spoiled young masters, how could they have ever suffered any hardship?

Living with servants and upgrading their levels is a nightmare for them.

It’s possible that they will be trapped in this training camp for the rest of their lives and unable to get out.

Li Zhouyang was the first to react. He quickly crawled towards Li Qingchi, stretched out his hand to pull Li Qingchi's trouser legs, and begged bitterly: "Grandpa, the training camp is too hard. Can you change the punishment method?"

"No room for negotiation." Li Qingchi remained indifferent.

Li Zhouyang sat on the ground in despair. Li Xinhao crawled over behind him using his hands and feet, crying, "Grandpa, please, we know we were wrong. We really know we were wrong."

Li Qingchi remained unmoved and said sternly, "If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences. Get up and go to the training camp immediately!"

Finally, the brothers knew that there was no hope of begging, so they could only stand up in despair and go back to pack their luggage to go to the training camp.

Wei Feng also failed to escape punishment. He was directly stripped of his position as deputy captain and turned back into an ordinary guard.

After dealing with all this, everyone left and Li Qingchi was the only one left in the lobby.

The lobby was eerily quiet at this moment, when suddenly a coughing sound was heard, more violent than before.

Li Qingchi quickly covered his mouth, his body trembling slightly. After his coughing eased a little, he slowly took his hand away, revealing a few shocking traces of blood on his palm.

After wiping off the blood, Li Qingchi leaned weakly against the chair and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, it has been less than 10 hours since the assassination of Gu Tu. Li Qingchi has not slept all night and has been busy dealing with various things and meeting guests. In addition, he himself was injured. His current physical condition has regressed to before, or even worse than before.

But he couldn't give up. Success was right in front of him, so close that he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Oh, is this dying?"

When Li Qingchi closed his eyes and rested, a weird voice suddenly came from the side.

"..."

You don't even need to open your eyes to know who it is.

Who else except Ye Xiao would dare to say such words to him?

Sure enough, when Li Qingchi opened his eyes, he saw Hua Chaochao's cynical look.

Sitting up straight and cheering himself up, Li Qingchi asked, "Why are you here?"

There was a potted plant next to Hua Chaochao's seat. She was caressing the tender leaves of the plant leisurely. Without even glancing at Li Qingchi, she casually said, "Come and see if you're dying."

Li Qingchi: “…”

"The result is okay, not so crispy." Hua Chaochao said again.

After saying that, she let go of the tender leaf in her hand, and finally turned her gaze to Li Qingchi, saying with a half-smile, "It was quite lively last night."

Li Qingchi was not surprised at all. The big commotion last night must have alarmed her.

He sighed heavily and said, "Gu Tu is indeed someone I never thought he would come to kill me."

Hua Chaochao, the mastermind behind Gu Tu's killing of Li Qingchi, said calmly, "Oh, really? I thought you were aware of this. When you were about to kill Chen Lan, you thought that Gu Tu would come to avenge her."

As if the truth had been spoken of, Li Qingchi was slightly startled.

Then he calmed down: "Didn't Lan Yi survive at that time? Then her death later was not caused by me."

As soon as the words fell, Hua Chaochao's laughter was heard, "Yes, you are indeed not the main reason for Shen Lanyi's death."

It's probably about 30 percent.

After hearing this, Li Qingchi couldn't help but frowned, thinking that Hua Chaochao's words were a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

Never mind. She is a weird person, so it is normal for her to say weird things.

Li Qingchi thought so in his heart and stopped worrying about it.

Just then, someone came in to report that Master Xuan had arrived.

Li Qingchi waved his hand and said, "Let him wait first."

Can't you see he is entertaining people?

The servant took the order and left, but before turning around, he cast a puzzled look at Hua Chaochao who was playing with a potted plant.

Strange, why is Miss Ye here?

He had been waiting outside the lobby, but he didn't see anyone come in.

Hua Chaochao naturally noticed the servants' gazes, but she didn't care and continued to fiddle with the potted plant.

After the servant left, Hua Chaochao stood up and said, "Since you have other guests, I'll leave first."

Li Qingchi also stood up and asked, "Would you like to chat for a while?"

"What are you talking about? I just came to see if you're dead or not."

Li Qingchi: ...Thank you for your concern!

Hua Chaochao walked out of the lobby leisurely and ran into Ji Xianchen who was waiting outside.

Their eyes met in the air, Hua Chaochao nodded slightly at him and gave him a friendly smile.

Good luck, little boy!
