Urban Villain: The Game of Wealth and Women

{Chapter: 263 Fiancee! Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!}

Lin Yuan opened WeChat and noticed a new message from Chi Qian.

Initially, he assumed it would be the usual—an invitation to dinner, perhaps asking if he was free that evening and suggesting a time and place. But when he read the message, it turned out to be something slightly different.

Chi Qian had sent:

So Yu Shanshan wanted to join them as well.

Lin Yuan chuckled to himself, easily picturing Yu Shanshan's pouting face, cheeks full of baby fat as she begged Chi Qian to let her come along. That girl always had a knack for inserting herself into their plans with that cute, pushy charm of hers.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan replied:

<"Sure, if she wants to come, I don't mind.">

He wasn't worried about Yu Shanshan being a third wheel. After all, his relationship with Chi Qian hadn't reached that ambiguous, romantic stage yet. They were still technically "just friends."

If anything, Shanshan's presence might ease some of the awkward tension that often lingered between him and Chi Qian during quiet moments. Plus, Lin Yuan found her amusing, and pinching her chubby cheeks was oddly satisfying.

A few moments later, another message came in.

Lin Yuan typed back:

<"Sounds good. I'll be ready.">

After setting his phone down briefly, it vibrated again with a new message from Chi Qian.

Seeing her text, Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted back to their last session at the WuShi Fighting Club. That day, he had unexpectedly defeated Chi Qian during their sparring match. She had confidently assumed she would win, but things hadn't gone her way.

To make matters worse—at least from Chi Qian's perspective—she had also lost to Lin Yuan in a pistol shooting contest not long after. Though she didn't voice her dissatisfaction openly, Lin Yuan could tell she wasn't pleased. Her pride had definitely taken a hit.

Now, she was challenging him again, trying to reclaim her dignity. Lin Yuan found it a little funny, but also kind of admirable. Chi Qian wasn't someone who gave up easily.

After thinking it over and confirming he had no other major commitments for the evening, Lin Yuan sent his reply:

<"Sure. Let's go.">

Chi Qian responded almost instantly—with three playful smiley emojis in a row.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly. Somehow, those emojis felt less like friendly ones and more like teasing faces from someone eager for payback.

He made a mental note to humble her again later—just enough to remind her not to get too cocky.

After wrapping up his conversation with Chi Qian, Lin Yuan called Long Wu.

"Long Wu," he said, his voice calm and steady. "Give me an update on the Chen family's recent activity."

"Yes, Young Master," Long Wu answered immediately, already prepared. "The Chen family has recently..."

Long Wu continued, relaying the detailed intel he'd gathered.

Ever since the butterfly effect caused significant changes in this world's trajectory, Lin Yuan had placed special importance on collecting real-time information. He had instructed Long Wu to monitor the Chen family closely—not everything, of course, since they were a massive family with countless branches and interests, but the crucial developments had to be tracked.

The goal was clear—he was preparing to execute a plan that would bring down the Chen family entirely.

It was a bold and ruthless plan. But Lin Yuan wasn't worried. Given what he knew, the Chen family wouldn't be able to react in time, let alone counter his schemes.

As Long Wu finished his report, Lin Yuan jotted down a few notes and instructed him to make a couple of minor adjustments to the surveillance plan.

Just as he was about to end the call, Long Wu suddenly said urgently, "Young Master, wait! One more thing."

"Hm?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, slightly intrigued by Long Wu's sudden shift in tone. It sounded like he'd just remembered something important.

"You asked me to check on the vacation schedule for Harvard University Law students, right?" Long Wu asked. "I confirmed it—it starts in half a month."

Lin Yuan drummed his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, his expression thoughtful. After a moment of silence, he responded, "Half a month, huh? Got it."

He didn't explain further, and Long Wu didn't ask. He knew his boundaries well—what was his to know, and what wasn't.

Lin Yuan hung up shortly after.

Right now, his primary goal was still centered around reducing Ye Feng's fate value—and ultimately erasing him from the equation altogether.

Thus, Lin Yuan's series of moves surrounding Ye Feng had officially begun, and at the core of it all was a plan that included the utter destruction of the Chen family.

But beyond dismantling Ye Feng's local allies, there was a deeper, more personal component to his strategy—one that required knowing the precise vacation schedule of Harvard University's Law students.

Lin Yuan hadn't asked about that detail out of idle curiosity. No, it was calculated. Very calculated.

Ye Feng himself wasn't enrolled in Harvard's Law program—in fact, he wasn't even studying law at all—but someone close to him was. Someone very important.

She was Ye Feng's fiancée.

Yes, in true Urban Xiaobaiwen fashion, Ye Feng, as the protagonist, had a beautiful, high-status fiancée whom he had never even met in person. Their engagement was likely arranged or based on family connections, which only made the situation more delicious from Lin Yuan's perspective.

This girl, with her elite background and foreign education, was supposed to be one of Ye Feng's trump cards in the original storyline—helping him win countless face-slapping battles, as cliché and predictable as it was.

And now? Now she would become Lin Yuan's next target.

Lin Yuan had no delusions about being a "good person." He had long embraced the role of a villain with open arms. In fact, he reveled in it. He didn't shy away from manipulating people or bending situations to his advantage. He wasn't interested in righteousness or honor. He simply did as he pleased.

So if Ye Feng was destined to have a beautiful, high-class fiancée, then Lin Yuan would take that from him too.

Why?

Because in the original story, Ye Feng took Lin Yuan's fiancée away without hesitation. Now it was time to return the favor—with interest.

Lin Yuan was confident that stealing Ye Feng's fiancée would result in a major blow to Ye Feng's fate value. After all, what could be more devastating than watching someone else walk away with the woman who was meant to be yours?

And Lin Yuan couldn't help but imagine how poetic it would be to place a "green hat" on Ye Feng's head— Just imagining Ye Feng's face contorting in fury and disbelief was already deeply satisfying.

"Ah, what a glorious scene that would be," Lin Yuan thought, his smile widening with amusement.

But that wasn't the limit of his dark fantasies. No, Lin Yuan's thoughts spiraled deeper into a pit of wicked amusement.

> "Oh, the sheer delight of crowning him with a lush, green hat—a symbol of his utter humiliation. But that alone wouldn't be enough. No, true ecstasy lay in the symphony of his suffering, in the way his world would shatter as he listened, powerless, to the sultry cries of his fiancé."

> "Trapped behind locked doors, unable to see her, unable to intervene—only able to hear. Every moan, every breathless gasp, every plea laced with desire would rip through his soul like a red-hot dagger. Her voice, once soft and reserved, now soaked in sin and pleasure, would echo in his mind endlessly."

> "Was it the stolen touch of her warm skin that made the victory sweet, or the knowledge that Ye Feng could hear every moment, unable to stop it? The domination. The collapse of his pride. The exquisite cruelty of knowing she had chosen someone else."

> "Ah, what a delicious game indeed…"

The corners of Lin Yuan's lips lifted ever so slightly as those thoughts played out in his mind. The game was far from over—and it had only just begun.

But he wasn't in a hurry. There were still two weeks until the start of the Harvard Law students' vacation. Until then, Lin Yuan had more urgent matters to focus on.

He minimized the daydreams for now and returned to reality.

Opening his attribute panel, Lin Yuan immediately noticed a pleasing sight—he had accumulated a large amount of Counterattack Points.

A full 10,000 points had been awarded to him just for the act of blasting away a portion of Ye Feng's head. That moment alone had been worth the investment.

Combined with other rewards from earlier actions, Lin Yuan now had about 20,000 Counterattack Points stored up.

His current stats stood at:

Strength: 200

Physique: 200

Charisma: 200

Speed: 130

Reaction: 130

\\

However, there was still room for improvement in two areas:

Speed: 130

Reaction: 130

Without a second thought, Lin Yuan invested 14,000 Counterattack Points to raise both Speed and Reaction to 200 points each—bringing them in line with his other core attributes.

As he confirmed the allocation, he could feel the subtle shift in his body. His senses became sharper, his perception faster, and every movement more fluid than before.

The gears in Lin Yuan's mind began turning once again.

The next phase of his plan was coming—and Ye Feng wouldn't even see it coming.
