They stepped closer to Shen Qianqian and Zhang Li.
Shen Qianqian was looking down at her phone, oblivious to their approach.
Zhang Li’s heart pounded in fear.
It was clear these men were here for them. The car they arrived in was worth millions—whoever was behind them had to be powerful.
She hadn’t offended anyone influential, so they probably weren’t after her.
Zhang Li glanced at Shen Qianqian.
Could they have been sent by that woman to deal with Shen Qianqian?
No.
She couldn’t let herself get dragged into Shen Qianqian’s mess!
It was too late to run now. Zhang Li’s eyes darted around before she raised a hand to her forehead.
“I—I don’t feel well. My head is spinning.”
“Qianqian, I can’t take it anymore.”
She swayed slightly, then collapsed limply to the ground.
“Zhang Li? What’s wrong with you?” Shen Qianqian stared at her, baffled.
Zhang Li lay motionless.
“Useless. Passing out after a little drinking,” Shen Qianqian sneered, giving her a disdainful nudge with the tip of her high heel.
She still hadn’t sensed the danger.
Looking down at Zhang Li, she curled her lip. “If you’re this weak, just stay here. Maybe someone will pick you up for a good time.”
Shen Qianqian turned to leave.
The two black-suited bodyguards frowned at Zhang Li’s prone form but ignored her.
They moved to block Shen Qianqian’s path.
She scowled. “What are you doing? Get out of my way!”
“Out of your way?” One of the bodyguards smirked coldly. “Come with us, miss.”
Finally realizing the threat, Shen Qianqian bolted.
“Hel—!”
The cry was cut short as a bodyguard clamped a hand over her mouth.
“Mmph—!” She thrashed wildly, but her petite frame was no match for the towering men.
They dragged her into the car.
The driver hit the gas.
Zhang Li cracked one eye open, watching the car speed away before scrambling to her feet. She sprinted home like her life depended on it.
Gulping down a glass of water, she exhaled in relief.
Thank goodness she’d been quick-witted. Otherwise, she’d have been taken too.
No way.
She’d have to stay away from Shen Qianqian for a while.
Only after a few months—once she was sure Shen Qianqian was safe—would she go back to cozying up to her.
Inside the car:
“Mmph—!” Shen Qianqian still fought like a cornered animal.
“Stay still!” A bodyguard barked.
She sank her teeth into his hand.
With a grunt of pain, he yanked his hand back, freeing her mouth.
“You can’t do this to me!” Panic flooded her voice. “Do you even know who I am? I’m the daughter of Shen Corporation’s chairman! If you lay a finger on me, my father will have you torn to pieces!”
Her jaw clenched.
How dare these lowlifes kidnap her?
“The Shen Corporation’s precious daughter, huh?” The bodyguard scoffed.
“That’s right! Scared now?” Shen Qianqian lifted her chin. “Here’s what you’ll do—let me go, then get on your knees and beg. Maybe I’ll let this slide.”
The bodyguard’s smile turned icy. “Too bad. We’re here because you’re Shen Corporation’s daughter.”
Without another word, he stuffed a cloth into her mouth.
“Mmph—!”
Now, real terror set in.
They knew who she was—and didn’t care. This was personal.
Were they using her to extort her father?
Or—her stomach twisted—did they want her?
If they touched her… if Lin Xuan found out…
He’d think she was tainted. Ruined.
She’d never have a chance with him.
Bound tightly, Shen Qianqian couldn’t fight back.
The car sped into the remote outskirts, stopping at an abandoned factory.
Dumped onto the floor, she gasped as the gag was ripped away, the ropes loosened.
“P-please!” She dropped to her knees. “I—I’ll give you money! Just let me call my father—he’ll pay anything!”
“We don’t want your damn money,” the bodyguard spat.
“You’ve got some nerve, trying to steal someone else’s man. Disgusting.”
Their mistress had finally won Young Master Lin’s heart.
For a year, she’d been happier, showering them with rewards.
They weren’t about to let some spoiled brat ruin it.
Before, they’d held back—but now, with Young Master Lin’s orders? They’d make her regret it.
“You—you’re Su Hua’s people?!” Shen Qianqian’s eyes widened.
Of course.
That fox was afraid she’d take Lin Xuan away!
Slap! A backhand sent her sprawling. “Watch your mouth.”
The reaction only confirmed her suspicions.
“You’re protecting her—she sent you!”
Slap!
Another stinging blow silenced her. Tears welled as she clutched her cheek.
Her hatred for Su Hua burned brighter.
She’d pay for this.
“L-listen,” Shen Qianqian pleaded. “H-how much did that wom—Su Hua—pay you? I’ll double it! No—ten times!”
They’d refused earlier, but everyone had a price.
“Told you. We don’t want your money,” the bodyguard said flatly.
Defying their mistress and Young Master Lin? That was suicide.
Money or their lives? The choice was obvious.
“Shen Qianqian, if you’re bold enough to chase another woman’s man, you’d better brace for the consequences.”
The bodyguards advanced.

Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
