Transmigrated as the Villain's Lackey, I can Sign in to the plot

"Ah Cai!"

The plot still had a few days to unfold, but the matter of the undercover agent had to be dealt with immediately!

Qu Yingmeng never expected it.

The spy planted by Zhao Shen was actually Ah Cai.

And the reason was simple—

Ah Cai was her most trusted confidant, the one who had handled countless secret dealings on her behalf.

No wonder she had never uncovered the spy. No wonder every time she had a secret plan, it was discovered before she could execute it.

It all made sense now!

Just then, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Madam! The latest company accounting report is ready. Please take a look."

The man standing before her was dressed in a crisp, well-fitted suit, exuding an air of refined cunning.

This was Ah Cai—Qu Yingmeng's right-hand man.

"Hmm."

She didn't respond much, simply taking the report in her hands with a calm expression.

Ah Cai had been entrusted with many matters within the company. She had given him authority over numerous affairs.

"Madam..."

Seeing her silence, Ah Cai hesitated before speaking cautiously.

"Two days ago, you mentioned ordering a batch of medical equipment without informing the master. Have any arrangements been made?"

The Zhao Group's businesses were vast, including the sale of medical devices.

Qu Yingmeng had long planned to use the company's resources for her personal benefit.

She had done it before.

But each time, either accidents disrupted her plans, or the company caught on halfway, forcing her to return the profits.

She had once thought it was just bad luck—too many eyes and ears within the company.

But now, she understood the truth.

The real spy had been by her side all along.

Silence.

She closed the report in her hands.

"Madam?"

Ah Cai's voice wavered. Something about her silence unsettled him, giving rise to an ominous feeling.

"Ah Cai!"

Her voice snapped him back to reality.

"How long have you been with me?"

A sudden sentimentality?

Though confused, Ah Cai answered honestly.

"Since you married into the Zhao family, Madam. I've been by your side from the start."

If not for this deep-seated trust, how else could he have gained her confidence?

"Yes... you've been with me for a long time."

The betrayal of a trusted aide left a bitter taste.

"So, tell me—why did you betray me?"

"Madam! I don't understand what you're saying!"

Discovered?

Impossible! How could she have found out? He had been careful, leaving no trace!

"I never expected that you would be the one Zhao Shen planted."

"Madam, where did you hear this? It's not true! Someone must be trying to deceive you!"

Ah Cai's composed expression was beginning to crack. A forced smile stretched across his face, but the beads of sweat forming on his forehead betrayed him.

"Whether the news is true or not, it no longer matters."

Qu Yingmeng shook her head lightly.

With the power of the Zhao Group, dealing with one person was all too easy.

"Don't worry, since you're one of the master's men, you won't die."

But that doesn't mean you won't suffer.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun remained blissfully unaware of the upheaval in Qu Yingmeng's world.

His mind was focused on one thing—food!

"Ahhh, delicious!"

As he enjoyed his fruit, a familiar figure walked toward him, sighing heavily.

"What's wrong, young master? Did Miss Yao reject you again?"

[This persistent simp just won't give up, huh?]

But this time, Zhao Haoqian shook his head with an unusually troubled expression.

"No, it's not that."

There were very few people in the world who could make Zhao Haoqian nervous.

Apart from Yao Huaimeng, only one other person held that power.

The true head of the Zhao Group—Zhao Shen!

"It's my father. He's coming back!"

"Your father?"

Ye Liuyun paused.

Wait! Wasn't this ahead of schedule?

Ahem! I mean— "The Master is returning?"

Zhao Haoqian, lost in his complaints, didn't notice Ye Liuyun's brief slip and nodded helplessly.

"Yeah! And once he's back, I'll be under his control again."

The very thought made him sigh even more.

[Wait a minute… Zhao Shen is returning?]

[That's not right!]

[At this point in the plot, he should still be on vacation abroad!]

[He wasn't supposed to appear for several more arcs!]

After all, Zhao Haoqian was just a minor antagonist. The true big boss was Zhao Shen—who shouldn't have entered the scene this early.

"Zhao Shen is coming back?"

Qu Yingmeng, who had just dealt with Ah Cai, was momentarily stunned as she heard the thought in her mind.

Then, she quickly deduced the reason.

"Hah. So that's why he's returning ahead of schedule."

Her lips curled into a knowing smile.

"Then, I suppose I'll prepare a little surprise for him."

Not only did she show no fear, but she was already scheming her next move.

Meanwhile—

"Master, wasn't he supposed to stay on vacation a while longer?"

"Sigh…"

At the mere mention of it, Zhao Haoqian let out another long sigh.

His promised days of carefree luxury—

Gone!

"My father heard that I have a 'talent' by my side. That's why he's coming back early!"

"..."

[Good lord… is it because of me?]

It made sense.

Zhao Shen would eventually hand over the family empire to his son, but he knew Zhao Haoqian's capabilities (or lack thereof).

If he left the Zhao Group in his hands now, even with hundreds of billions, it would be gone in no time.

It was only natural that he wanted to see who this 'talented person' by his son's side was.

"But!"

Despite his frustration, Zhao Haoqian suddenly perked up with excitement.

"If Dad finds out that I discovered a genius like you, Liuyun, he'll praise me!"

After all, this was proof of his exceptional judgment!

With that thought, Zhao Haoqian's mood brightened, and a broad grin spread across his face.

"The young master is right!"

[As expected of a foolish young master!]

Whatever.

Zhao Shen could return if he wanted. Ye Liuyun had no obligation to stick with the Zhao family forever.

He was only here to trigger plot events.

Besides, with his current sign-in rewards…

Even if Zhao Shen was the boss, so what?

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Haoqian continued to laugh, unaware of the storm brewing behind the scenes…
