Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Afterwards, Ji Xianchen locked himself in the room. Luo Han and others, including Ji Xingyuan, came and knocked and shouted outside the door, but Ji Xianchen acted as if he didn't hear anything. He sat on the sofa without moving, completely unmoved.

He needed some quiet time alone to sort out his thoughts and think about what to do next.

I saw him with his elbows on his thighs and his head lowered, looking as if all the energy had been drained out of him, exuding a decadent aura.

Ji Xianchen maintained this posture, sitting motionless for a very, very long time.

Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened. There was no light in the room, and it was dark and silent. Only a rough outline could be vaguely seen.

By the time the sun had completely set and the room was almost dark, Ji Xianchen's cell phone, which had been placed aside, began to vibrate because he had received a message.

As if awakened from his thoughts by the slight vibration, Ji Xianchen slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on the lit screen of his mobile phone.

Reaching out and taking the phone, he saw a message from Luo Han on the screen.

[Third brother, we listened to you and have already taken Master Xingyuan on a plane back to Daxia.]

[Although we don't know why you suddenly asked us to leave, we believe you must have your reasons. Third brother, take care of yourself.]

Under the light of the screen, Ji Xianchen's tense expression finally relaxed a little, and he replied: [Be careful on your way. ]

After sending the message, Ji Xianchen stared at the dark screen and fell into deep thought, not moving for a long time.

The whole room was suffocatingly quiet.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but as if he had made some kind of decision, Ji Xianchen turned on his phone, opened the address book, and swiped upwards to find a number.

He didn't press it immediately. His finger paused on the number, hesitating for a moment, and finally slowly put his finger down.

The phone kept beeping, and every beep seemed to hit his heart.

Soon, the call was connected, but there was no response on the other end, as if the caller was waiting for him to speak first.

Ji Xianchen spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "It's me, Ji Xianchen."

"What's the matter?" A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ji Xianchen clenched his phone tightly, his lips trembling, "I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, Hua Xi, it's my father who harmed your family.

The other party paused after hearing this apology, "You don't need to apologize. I will personally ask Fu Lan to pay back the debt owed to my parents."

Hua Xi believed that Ji Xianchen was unaware of what Fu Lan had done, and that they were not on the same side, otherwise he would not have handed the ring to the aristocratic family. So she would not vent her hatred for Fu Lan on Ji Xianchen, but she would never be nice to him either.

"If you called just to say this, you can hang up." Hua Xi's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

“Don’t hang up.” Ji Xianchen said anxiously, “I have something important to talk to you about.”

"Speak." Hua Xi said briefly.

Ji Xianchen: "My father is going to take action against the aristocratic family."

Hua Xi's tone was still cold: "So, what does it have to do with me?"

She doesn't care about the life or death of the family.

Ji Xianchen: "I'm worried... Chao Chao will be in danger if she stays at the Li family. We need to rescue her as soon as possible."

When Hua Chaochao was mentioned, Hua Xi's attitude softened a little, but she was still very tough, "I will save Chaochao, you don't need to intervene."

"Hua Xi, give me a chance to make amends." Ji Xianchen's voice was filled with pleading, "My father's goal is to take the lives of all the members of the family. I want to stop him and can't let him make the same mistake again and again."

"The lives of all the family members..." Hua Xi obviously felt that this goal was too crazy and unbelievable. "What is his plan?"

Ji Xianchen: "I don't know. He asked me to leave Xuanzhou and never come back. I guess it will be a big deal and very dangerous."

Hua Xi was silent for a long time, then said: "Then kill him first, and there will be no more trouble later."

"It's useless." Ji Xianchen remembered the last words Fu Lan said to him before he left. He said he was not afraid of anyone killing him, and even if he died, the plan would proceed as usual.

After listening to Ji Xianchen's explanation, Hua Xi fell silent again.

So we can’t kill Fu Lan now. He may be the only one who knows the whole plan. If he dies, everything will become more uncontrollable.

Ji Xianchen broke the silence and said, "Save Chao Chao first. Once we save her, we will have nothing to worry about."

The reason why they were hesitant was that they were afraid that Hua Chaochao would be hurt. As long as she was safe, they would do anything without any worries, whether it was dealing with Fu Lan or Li Qingchi.

Ji Xianchen's words reminded Hua Xi that the most important thing now was to save Hua Chaochao, and other things had to come later.

But how to save him?

Nai Tu spent the whole day inquiring at the Li family but couldn't find out any information about Hua Chaochao, which shows how deeply Li Qingchi has hidden her.

He tried to hold Ye Xiao hostage and threaten Li Qingchi, but he refused to compromise.

Is there any other way to rescue Hua Chaochao?

This is a difficult and vexing problem.

……

the other side.

The person who made Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen rack their brains to save was now leisurely visiting Qing Yuan's office.

Qing Yuan frowned as he looked at Hua Chaochao, who was pouring tea and drinking it as if she was at home, wondering what she was thinking.

Hua Chaochao took a sip of tea and looked up at Qing Yuan, "Why, you don't welcome me?"

Qing Yuan did not answer her question, but asked her instead: "Who... are you?"

He was unaware of her arrival, which had never happened before.

As long as a person moves, he or she will definitely cause slight fluctuations in the surrounding air.

But this person had none of that. He couldn't sense any of her scent at all.

Admittedly, Qing Yuan knew that she was very strong, much stronger than himself, but she was able to do it without making any noise. Qing Yuan couldn't imagine how strong this person must be.

Hua Chaochao put down the teacup and leaned back in the chair. "Someone asked me this question today, and this person is still in a coma. Are you sure you want to know the answer?"

Qing Yuan: “I’m sure.”

In fact, at his age, Qing Yuan already has an indifferent attitude towards everything. He is not curious and does not want to meddle in other people's affairs. However, the mystery surrounding Hua Chaochao is too strong. She is like a fog. The more he wants to see clearly, the more he falls into it and cannot extricate himself.
