The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 21 (Patreon)

Chapter 21

The people who were immersed in the plot were already stunned. When did this man appear? He even hugged Ling Chunan, and what's more surprising, Ling Chunan didn't push him away!

After getting a clear look at the man, everyone had only one thought left, "He's handsome." The assistant backstage whispered, expressing everyone's sentiments.

Inside the resting room, Chu Yunge took a sip of water, looking apologetic. "Sorry for the abruptness just now."

Ling Chunan, sitting on the sofa, took the water with slightly trembling hands, smiling and nodding, "It's okay. Mr. Chu, why are you here?"

"098? What's the matter with him?"

"The plot data shows no abnormalities," 098 reported. "It's just a coincidence, and with so many people resembling each other in the world, not to mention the common term 'darling,' it must have misunderstood."

"If he confesses to me again, should I accept or not?"

098: "Host, you're overthinking. He said it unintentionally, and there should be no possibility of a confession."

Then 098 was proven wrong.

"I happened to pass by and came in for a look," Chu Yunge stood in front of Ling Chunan, crouched down to be at eye level with him, his gaze sincere. "But what I said just now is true. I used to find love at first sight ridiculous until I met you, darling. It might seem sudden, but I still want to ask, can I pursue you?"

When he said the last sentence, the man could barely conceal his nervousness, even his voice trembled a bit.

098 remained silent; it didn't hear anything.

"Do you remember how many times we've met?" Ling Chunan frowned.

Chu Yunge paused and replied, "Three times."

Ling Chunan thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Okay."

098: "Host, weren't you just thinking about Zeng Wuyue?"

"How come you're agreeing to another man's pursuit now?" And if on the day they returned to this world, Ling Chunan and Chu Yunge met for the first time, they've only met twice, not three times!

Then 098 suddenly froze; could it be that Chu Yunge recognized the host from the rear-end collision incident? Thinking of Ling Chunan in women's clothing, 098 instinctively rejected this possibility.

Even it couldn't recognize that woman as Ling Chunan; how could Chu Yunge possibly know? But seeing the host's nonchalant reaction, 098 began to believe in this possibility.

Ignoring the system drowned in doubts, Ling Chunan smiled brightly at the man in front of him, "Shake hands."

Chu Yunge seemed not to have fully recovered from Ling Chunan's answer, but as Ling Chunan spoke, he instinctively extended his arm and even pulled up his shirt sleeve.

Watching this familiar scene, 098 was dumbfounded; it defied common sense. Besides the missioner, the same soul couldn't exist in two worlds.

But it couldn't sense the missioner's aura from Chu Yunge at all.

What's going on?

Ling Chunan didn't care about 098's shock; he just grabbed the man's arm and bit lightly. Then he licked the fresh blood from the wound's edge. Stepping back, the wound had almost healed. "The taste is the same; he is indeed Zeng Wuyue. 098?"

098 was still puzzled. "Maybe... reincarnation?"

"Do you like it?" The man's low and happy voice sounded in Ling Chunan's ear.

Ling Chunan nodded honestly, "Yes."

Chu Yunge sounded genuinely pleased, "That's good."

098: "...Still a pervert even with a different personality."

Ling Chunan said, "098, look, he truly loves me. After just three meetings, he already knows my preferences. I'm so moved."

"He even knows you crossdress."

"If he wants to feed me, I can wear women's clothes for him every day."

098: "...Then why didn't you just agree to date him directly?"

"He said he wanted to pursue me. I have to be reserved."

Thinking of the time he eagerly tried to seduce Ling Chunan during their second meeting, 098 sarcastically thought, 'Reserved? Where was that reservation?'

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Chu Yunge, currently holding a position in the family business with no other relatives. I'm financially secure, planning to develop in the country in the future."

098: "...That's too modest."

After the first meeting, Ling Chunan specifically checked Chu Yunge's identity, the former head of the first mafia family, now the leader of the largest financial conglomerate.

The man in the information photos, who rarely smiled, was completely different from the kind demeanor when facing Ling Chunan. At first, 098 couldn't understand it, but now, considering the possibility that he might be Zeng Wuyue, the entire system felt uneasy.

Regardless, Ling Chunan and Chu Yunge had confirmed their pursuit and being pursued relationship.

"Knock, knock." A knock on the door, the assistant's voice came from outside. "Brother Ling, it's almost time for your scene."

Ling Chunan only had two scenes today, both of which were completed by almost noon. Chu Yunge had left earlier due to some business, and after tidying up his outfit and bidding farewell to everyone, Ling Chunan was ready to leave.

"Mr. Ling, wait!"

At this moment, a voice called out to him. Ling Chunan turned and asked, "Miss Yang? Is there something?"

Yang Qingya was a dedicated fan of Ling Chunan. She had been collecting various works of Ling Chunan since she first saw him on the screen at the age of ten. Despite entering the entertainment industry later, she was influenced by Ling Chunan.

Unfortunately, she had just entered the entertainment industry and hadn't officially debuted when she was forced to go abroad. She had never had the chance to meet Ling Chunan until today.

Seeing Ling Chunan looking at her, Yang Qingya suddenly felt a bit awkward. "I, I..."

098: "Host, could the female lead be secretly in love with you?"

Ling Chunan raised an eyebrow at the female lead, "Many people secretly love me; it's not strange that she does too."

Yang Qingya hesitated for a moment, gathered her courage, and said, "Mr. Ling, I'm your fan. I'm delighted to meet you. May I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"

098: "For personal safety, I suggest the host not agree. Recently, the male supporting character has been aggressively pursuing the female lead. If they meet, won't the host be targeted again?"

Then 098 heard Ling Chunan speak, "Sure."

Clearly overlooked 098: "..."

Yang Qingya obviously didn't expect Ling Chunan to agree so easily. Her expression was somewhat incredulous. After a while, she came back to her senses and said happily, "Great! When would you be available?"

"Instead of choosing a date, let's make it today at noon," Ling Chunan said with a radiant smile.

Yang Qingya was momentarily dazed, quickly responding, "Sure, sure."

Back at the filming site, a production assistant quietly pulled aside a colleague, eyes shining. "I thought the handsome guy from this morning had something to do with An Nan. But guess what I just saw."

"What did you see?"

"The new second female lead from our crew just asked An Nan out for lunch, and he actually agreed!"

"No way. Didn't An Nan say he wouldn't date before thirty? Besides, that woman is quite old. How could she match up to our An Nan?"

After dispersing the assistants, Ling Chunan lazily stood next to the garage. When Yang Qingya came down, she looked somewhat strange. "What's wrong?"

Seemingly just coming back to her senses, Yang Qingya smiled and said, "Nothing. Let's go." Her gaze lingered on Ling Chunan's exceptionally handsome face. She was only two years older than him; how could she be considered old?

However, the lunch plan never materialized.

As they were leaving the set, Yang Qingya's phone rang. The caller ID displayed Wu Zichu's name.

Yang Qingya frowned slightly, looking a bit impatient. After the first ring, she paused for a moment, then continued to ring. Ling Chunan, holding the steering wheel, glanced at her and considerately said, "If it's a call, go ahead. I won't mind."

098: "It's clear the female lead doesn't want to answer the call. Host, you're really mischievous."

"Do you still remember today's date?" Ling Chunan didn't pick up the thread but asked 098.

098 had a moment of realization. "I apologize, Host. It's my oversight." Today was May 3rd. In the plot, the female lead's son was taken out by the nanny to buy groceries. Inadvertently, the child got lost, ending up at the male lead's place. The male lead then returned the child. Ling Chunan had agreed to the female lead's invitation today, intending to disrupt the factor of romantic development between the male and female leads.

098 felt more convinced that its speculation was correct when it heard Ling Chunan ask, "098, how is my current image? Will the male lead fall for me?"

"Host, please allow me to remind you; although the male lead lacks morals, he is straightforward." And don't forget, you just agreed to Chu Yunge's pursuit request.

"Don't panic; I'm just joking." Ling Chunan grinned.

Yang Qingya, with a somewhat embarrassed smile towards Ling Chunan, answered the call.

Her voice was low, "What's the matter? I'm a bit busy right now."

Something seemed to be said from the other end, and her expression became increasingly tense. "What did you say? Xiao Chen is missing?"

After a few more sentences, she hung up, her face pale. She looked lost, turning to Ling Chunan, "Mr. Ling, can you please take me home? Something happened at my house."

"Sure, if there's an issue, you can go back first. We can have this meal another day," Ling Chunan said, "May I have your address?"

On the way, Yang Qingya looked worried, glancing out of the car window from time to time. She seemed tense, her movements stiff. §思§兔§網§文§檔§共§享§與§在§線§閱§讀§

"Miss Yang, if I may ask, what happened at your home?" Ling Chunan casually inquired while driving.

Watching Ling Chunan's gentle profile, Yang Qingya suddenly calmed down. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "My son is missing."

"Host, the male lead's car is in front," 098 said. "The female lead's son is in the car."

Then it saw Ling Chunan suddenly slip his hand, and the car slammed into the rear of the car in front of him with a bang.
