The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 84 (Patreon)

Chapter 84

Ling Chunann lowered his head like a guilty child. "Sorry, Uncle, I just wanted to swim."

Watching the young boy blush from head to toe by the pond, Feng Buyu couldn't help but feel relieved that he hadn't brought anyone else along. He quickened his steps, took off his clothes, and wrapped them around Ling Chunann. "It's okay, sweetheart. You can swim whenever you want. Just be careful not to catch a cold."

As the sole spectator, 098 couldn't resist applauding the two for their performance. It knew Ling Chunann's character very well, but it was surprised by the man's acting skills. Despite his obvious desire, he still earnestly comforted his host.

Blushing, Ling Chunann squirmed in the man's embrace. "I, I want to put on clothes."

As Ling Chunann moved, he "accidentally" touched the man's sensitive area, but he seemed unaware. Feng Buyu took a sharp breath, his gaze darkening momentarily. After scanning the clothes Ling Chunann had taken off, he said, "Your clothes are dirty. Let Uncle take you back to change."

"Okay." Ling Chunann replied softly, then leaned against the man, seeking comfort.

Watching the man stiffen under his host's teasing, 098 couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for him. "Host, didn't you say you wanted to define your relationship with him?"

"He seems to want to develop our relationship further, so I thought about it seriously and decided to indulge him. After all, I am a reserved person." Ling Chunann said.

Now realizing that Ling Chunann was the type to push boundaries, 098 concluded that dealing with him required a straightforward approach. However, that seemed unlikely, as the man was unlikely to give up easily.

Just as 098 decided to remain silent, Ling Chunann's voice sounded again. "I just noticed, he's about the same size as Monashus!" The implications were obvious.

098: "..." It had thought that the Western Fantasy World was Ling Chunann's least nostalgic world, considering he was often pinned down by dragons and even engaged in interspecies relations after their marriage contract. It never expected him to seem so nostalgic?!

Truly, it didn't understand how these humans thought.

Back in the room, Feng Buyu laid Ling Chunann on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and then went to the wardrobe to find clothes for him. Ling Chunann sat on the bed, watching him eagerly.

Although Ling Chunann hadn't been here for long, the wardrobe in Feng Buyu's room was mostly filled with his clothes. Feng Buyu had them custom-made the day after bringing Ling Chunann back, ensuring there were outfits for every season, enough for Ling Chunann to wear new clothes all year round without repetition.

With clothes in hand, Feng Buyu's gaze shifted away from Ling Chunann's eyes instinctively. He cleared his throat. "I may need to go out this afternoon. Darling, would you like to visit Jinyue with me?"

"Yes!" Ling Chunann's eyes lit up, leaning forward eagerly. "Uncle, can I go?"

As Ling Chunann moved, the blanket covering him slipped off his shoulders, revealing his fair chest. Feng Buyu's gaze paused on the young boy's well-defined chest for a moment. "Of course." Then he walked over to Ling Chunann, "Let me help you get dressed."

"He's really patient," Ling Chunann praised silently.

098: "..." Clearly, you were the one who tempted him first.

But 098 dared not voice its thoughts aloud and kept them to itself.

The Jinyue Group had always held a mysterious position in the text, seemingly connected to various countries around the world. Otherwise, "Spirit World" wouldn't have had the chance to become humanity's second world. Moreover, the male lead's elevated status in the game and the immense respect he received from high-ranking officials in reality also indicated the game's complexity.

Standing outside the hundreds of floors tall Jinyue Group building, Ling Chunann went over the plot again and suddenly asked, "098, are you sure the plot you gave me is complete?"

"Yes, host," 098 replied, "That is indeed all the plot I received. Is there a problem?"

"For example, why would countries be willing to let this game become their second world? And why is the male lead so powerful in the game but just an ordinary person in reality? Why would he receive such high-level attention from these officials? These plot points haven't been resolved. Lastly, there's a task in my mission about purifying water sources. Without special powers, it's nearly impossible for me to purify the entire ocean with just my abilities." Ling Chunann didn't beat around the bush with 098 this time. "Check if there's a second part to this story."

"Okay, I'll request that from above." After Ling Chunann's words, 098 realized that there were indeed some inconsistencies in the plot. 

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Feng Buyu asked softly as Ling Chunann remained motionless. "Don't you like it here?"

The Jinyue Group building was located in the bustling downtown area, and their driver had already left, leaving the two of them standing conspicuously at the entrance.

"No, let's go in." Ling Chunann smiled at Feng Buyu, "I've never been here before, so I'm a bit nervous."

Feng Buyu reached out and took Ling Chunann's hand. "Don't be afraid. Uncle is here."

"See that? He's hitting on me," Ling Chunann said to 098.

"...I can see that."

The receptionist greeted them with a perfectly timed smile. Her gaze lingered on their joined hands for a moment before she spoke, "Welcome, do you have an appointment?"

Feng Buyu nodded and handed her a card.

The receptionist's expression instantly warmed several degrees. "Mr. Feng, the CEO has been waiting for you."

The president of the Jinyue Group was a suave middle-aged man named Murong Ming. In the original text, he was depicted as decisive and formidable, even the head of state couldn't bully him.

However, to Ling Chunann's surprise, he seemed particularly respectful in front of Feng Buyu, his smile almost bordering on obsequiousness.

Sensing Ling Chunann's confusion, Feng Buyu held his hand and introduced, "Sweetheart, this is President Murong, the current head of the Jinyue Group."

Seeing Feng Buyu's attitude towards Ling Chunann, Murong Ming's eyes flashed with surprise, and his attitude became much more solemn.

Ling Chunann nodded and extended his right hand. "Hello, my name is Luo Yining."

"Luo Young Master, nice to meet you." Mu Rong Ming respectfully extended his hand to shake hands with Ling Chunann, "My name is Mu Rong Ming, you can call me by my name."

098: "Host, it's verified. He's indeed the CEO of Jinyue Group." But his demeanor is quite strange, overly enthusiastic.

"Maybe Feng Buyu is the behind-the-scenes boss of Jinyue?" Ling Chunann speculated.

"The likelihood of that is almost nonexistent. In the original text, Feng Buyu never appeared. It's all Mu Rong Ming in charge, and he mentioned being the largest shareholder of the company," 098 explained while flipping through the plot.

Ling Chunann didn't argue, but 098 was soon proven wrong.

Mu Rong Ming's next words were, "Boss, regarding the early update of the game, they sent over a document, hoping to discuss it with the company. Do you have any instructions?"

"Follow the previously set plan; you're in charge," Feng Buyu said.

"Understood."

Ling Chunann wasn't interested in Feng Buyu's business matters. His position was conveniently near the floor-to-ceiling window, and he could see the tiny figures below. "098."

Still reeling from being proven wrong, 098 heard the call from the host and quickly composed himself. "Host, what's the matter?"

"The one down there, is that the male lead?"

Qin Xuyang felt he had been having a run of bad luck lately. Visiting a friend's house, the building caught fire. Worse, while evacuating, he was tripped by someone in the crowd. He counted, at least twenty people had stepped on him.

But luckily, besides a broken right hand, he had no major injuries. According to the doctor, it was thanks to his good physical condition.

He swore that if he knew who had tripped him, he would make them regret it!

Because of his injury, Qin Xuyang hadn't played the game in the past few days. Today, he was finally discharged from the hospital, only to find the game had been updated. Since he was on sick leave, he didn't need to go to school, so he was dragged out by his schoolmate who happened to have no classes that day.

Seeing his lively and beautiful schoolmate in front of him, Qin Xuyang smiled slightly.

"Senior Qin, there's a octopus ball shop ahead. Let's go eat," Xue Yuer walked quickly into the crowd.

Qin Xuyang followed quickly. Suddenly, he felt his foot being tripped. He immediately thought of his experience being tripped at the doorway, so he subconsciously stomped hard.

Just as Xue Yuer turned around, she saw Qin Xuyang's sudden action, looking stunned. "Senior...Senior Qin."

Qin Xuyang seemed not to have reacted yet, until someone beside him suddenly pushed him away. He was awakened by the child's crying, realizing that he had stepped on a seven or eight-year-old boy.

At this moment, Qin Xuyang's foot was on the boy's leg, who was obviously in pain, curled up on the ground. After crying a few times, he fell silent, his face turning pale, and an ice cream cone fell to the ground next to him.

The one who had just pushed him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager. Without exaggeration, even Qin Xuyang, who had seen many beauties, had to admit that this teenager was the most handsome person he had ever seen.

This person was none other than Ling Chunann, who had just found an excuse to leave the office. He didn't expect the male lead to be so ruthless, actually venting his anger on an unrelated young boy. Especially after the collision just now, Ling Chunann felt that the male lead was very likely mistaking this boy for him.

The force just now had fractured the little guy's left leg, Ling Chunann confirmed by touching it.

"Host, the male lead deliberately stomped just now," 098 reported at the right time, "This boy's mother is inside the mall. He's alone now. Moreover, he's one of the male lead's harem members, Yuan Jiayu's younger brother."

"Okay."

"Little brother, don't cry. Big brother will help you feel better." Ling Chunann lifted the boy, subtly using his healing ability on the boy's leg.

As the pain eased, the boy's cries turned into sobs.

"I'm sorry, little brother." Xue Yuer realized only now, quickly apologizing to the young boy. She looked apologetically at Ling Chunann, "Are you his brother? Do you want to take him to the hospital?"

By now, there were quite a few people around. Hearing Xue Yuer's words, Qin Xuyang stepped forward and said, "Let's go to the hospital." But there was no regret in his eyes. His gaze was almost entirely focused on Ling Chunann.

"It's okay." Ling Chunann dusted off the boy's clothes, then glanced at Qin Xuyang, "But you bumped into him. Shouldn't you apologize?"

At this point, Qin Xuyang was somewhat unwilling. He frowned, "Clearly, he bumped into me. If anyone should apologize, it should be him first." But he spoke so quietly that he quickly realized that there were still many onlookers around. Besides, the person in front of him was still a child. No matter what, he had to apologize sincerely.

"098, did you record that just now?" Ling Chunann asked.

"It's done, host. I even amplified his soliloquy just now!" 098 said energetically, disdainful of such arrogant male leads.
