NOVEL WEB Chapter 5
"Huh? 500 villain points?"
Li Mubai was caught off guard as he didn't expect to be rewarded with that many villain points at once just after sending a picture of Leng Qianxue to Xiao Qingcheng.
Undeniably, Xiao Qingcheng was the main heroine compared to Leng Qianxue who didn't have much weight later in the plot.
It made sense that he could harvest more villain points from her.
Then... it did mean that if he continues his means on Xiao Qingcheng, he could harvest much more villain points from her.
Surprisingly, Li Mubai seemed to have high expectations for Xiao Qingcheng, the ice-cold lady CEO.
Xiao Qingcheng happened to send him a message at this time.
"Li Mubai, How can you do this to Qianxue? It seems like you owe me an explanation first!"
At the other end of the phone, Xiao Qingcheng had sent him a voice message which she rarely does.
Her tone clearly indicated that she was very angry at the moment.
She was enraged.
However, Li Mubai wanted to see her angry and irritated figure.
It would be much better if she felt a tad bit of hatred towards him...
"I caught her when she came to assassinate me. I then punished her a little. After all, you know... my identity isn't that simple for anyone to mess with." Li Mubai nonchalantly replied.
Xiao Qingcheng's anger dissipated and she, at the other end of the phone, had calmed herself down.
Qianxue actually went to assassinate Li Mubai! Why would she even do that?!
However, in the next instant, something occurred to Xiao Qingcheng.
If Leng Qianxue did go over to assassinate Li Mubai, it would most likely be something to do with her.
But how could Qianxue act that foolishly?
The Li family Manor was like a Dragon's den!
Li Mubai was the only heir of the Li family. How could she go over to assassinate him just like that?!
"I offered my explanation. Miss Xiao, it's now your turn."
Just when Xiao Qingcheng was troubled, she received yet another message from Li Mubai: "If I tell my grandpa about what happened, I wonder what consequences..."
Listening to Li Mubai's vicious tone, Xiao Qingcheng's face turned extremely unsightly. She gnashed her teeth in anger.
But as she could not ignore the issue at hand, she could only reply, "Young Master Li, I'm extremely sorry for what Qianxue had done. I hope you wouldn't mind this simple matter and let her go this one time for me."
[Ding! Host's villainous behavior made Xiao Qingcheng filled with despair, rewarding 200 villain points!]
He had been rewarded with yet another 200 villain points.
Li Mubai replied in a good mood, "Letting her go isn't that impossible at all. After all, if children make mistakes, the adults behind them had to bear the responsibility..."
"...Then, you have half an hour to offer me an explanation in person. If not, I have no other choice but to tell my grandpa about this matter. He would respond in his own way."
She must offer an explanation before Li Mubai?
As she saw this message, Xiao Qingcheng knit her brows.
At this late hour, if she did meet Li Mubai to offer an explanation, wasn't she the same as a sheep entering the tiger's den!
When she decided to send a message to change this arrangement, she received another message from Li Mubai.
"This is my bottom line... You have 29 minutes and 30 seconds more..."
"Young Master Li, can you please change this arrangement? It's already quite late at this hour. It isn't good for me to disturb your peace. Why don't you release Qianxue first? then we will decide what to do at a later date..."
Gritting her teeth, Xiao Qingcheng still chose to send this message.
"You now have 27 minutes and 31 seconds more..."
"Shameless!"
Xiao Qingcheng cursed under her breath, grabbed her car keys, and hurried to the door.
[Ding! Host's villainous behavior made Xiao Qingcheng gnash her teeth in anger, rewarding 300 villain points!]
Receiving yet another 300 villain points from her, Li Mubai felt so comfortable.
He wanted to harvest more villain points from her. However, Xiao Qingcheng didn't seem to reply to his messages.
It seems like this mermaid chose to take the bait.
A faint smile plastered over Li Mubai's face.
Despite knowing that she was probably baited, this mermaid, nevertheless, chose to come over!
It was simply too incredible to experience that.
That was his pleasure of being a Villain!
It was awesome!
Recollecting Xiao Qingcheng described in the as a country toppling ice-cold beauty, similar to an iceberg, Li Mubai looked forward to meeting her in person.
*****
On the other hand, it was in line with Li Mubai's expectations.
Even though Xiao Qingcheng knew that meeting Li Mubai to offer an 'explanation' was like a sheep entering the tiger's den, she nevertheless had to go.
It was because she was left with no other choice!
If Li Mubai's grandfather and parents knew about Li Mubai's assassination attempt, not only would the Xiao family receive a devastating blow from the Li family but even Leng Qianxue would be in a grave situation!
It was the Xiao family that gave birth to her and nurtured her.
To her, Leng Qianxue was the same as a blood-related sister.
No matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to the Xiao family and Leng Qianxue!
She would never allow any harm to happen to them!
As she made up her mind, Xiao Qingcheng didn't even delay changing her high heels. She ran all the way to the underground garage. Even though her feet slipped off a few times, she didn't seem to care.
Enduring the pain on her feet, she drove her favorite Maserati car.
The car sped toward the Li family manor!
"Qianxue, I will make sure you are safe and sound!"
