"Hehe... another choice triggered?"
"Ah! Still going with option three mindlessly."
Jiang Che helplessly rubbed his head. Was there even a need to make this choice?
According to the plot, the kidnappers who took Ye Mengyao were armed with guns. Lin Yu would rescue Ye Mengyao but barely succeed, taking a bullet to the shoulder.
In such an extremely dangerous situation, Jiang Che certainly wouldn't risk his life to save Ye Mengyao, so Lin Yu's role as cannon fodder was predetermined.
However, the reward for option three caught Jiang Che's attention.
[Heart Listener]
[A god-tier skill that allows you to eavesdrop on women's thoughts when in close proximity. Effective range: 50 meters. A must-have skill for playboys.]
Not bad, not bad at all, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction.
This skill was pretty decent!
Jiang Che checked the time, feeling it should be about right.
Having read the script, he naturally knew where the kidnappers were located - in an abandoned building in the New City district.
He even knew exactly which building and which floor.
......
On a certain floor of the abandoned building.
"Brother Dao, why isn't Ye Changkong responding to us? It's been over half an hour..."
The short, fat man furrowed his brows.
There were four kidnappers, led by a man with a scarred face who looked fierce - clearly someone who had tasted blood.
Cigarette butts littered the floor; they had chain-smoked countless cigarettes.
In the middle, on the sofa, lay Ye Mengyao, bound hand and foot.
Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she remained unconscious.
Brother Dao remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "The client wants Ye Changkong's product information. Once he hands it over... we'll release her immediately."
"Is that dog stalling? Waiting for the police?"
Brother Dao sneered, "The police won't find us anytime soon. I deliberately avoided all surveillance cameras. If things go south... we'll take the woman as a hostage."
This comment drew everyone's attention to the unconscious Ye Mengyao.
Fatty, in particular, swallowed hard.
"This Young Miss Ye is damn fine. Her skin must be as soft as water. Brother Dao, why don't we have some fun first?"
Fatty was practically drooling. During the kidnapping, they had been too rushed, immediately drugging her and stuffing her into a sack - he hadn't even gotten a chance to touch her.
"Fun your ass! I don't want to make a mortal enemy of the Ye family!"
Brother Dao cursed angrily. Kidnapping the Ye family's precious daughter meant they could take the money and lay low abroad for a while, but if anything happened to Ye Mengyao... there would be no room for negotiation.
"Ye Changkong has only this one precious daughter. If he goes berserk, none of us will survive!"
Brother Dao spoke menacingly.
"Once this job is done, the client will pay us twenty million. You can have any beauty you want then. For now, everyone behave!"
His words made the others put aside their lecherous thoughts.
They continued waiting.
What they didn't notice was... a figure sitting on the rooftop of the abandoned building opposite them.
Jiang Che sat on the edge of the roof, legs dangling, smoking a cigarette with a brick in his right hand.
"What idiots! The damn author forcing the plot just to avoid disgusting the readers."
He had arrived here early, and after hearing Brother Dao's words, he couldn't help but scoff internally.
If he were the kidnapper... he would have already taken advantage of the situation.
These guys had the desire but not the guts to be kidnappers.
He keenly noticed the cigarettes the kidnappers were smoking - Huazi brand.
Jiang Che looked down at his own cigarette, "Damn, what class! They're smoking the same brand as me!"
How annoying!
As another cigarette burned out...
The protagonist Lin Yu finally arrived fashionably late!
......
The abandoned building that the police couldn't find in the short term, Lin Yu had found it!
Indeed, the protagonist's treatment was truly exceptional.
Lin Yu was clever for once - upon discovering the kidnapped Ye Mengyao, he didn't immediately rush out but instead waited.
"Why is Ye Mengyao unconscious?"
Lin Yu frowned deeply. With Ye Mengyao unconscious... who would witness his heroic display?
Though the hero-saves-damsel scenario was cliché... it was still highly effective in any era.
"Damn, this Lin Yu is quite cunning! Is he waiting for Ye Mengyao to wake up before showing off?"
But Jiang Che wasn't in a hurry, because he knew... Lin Yu wouldn't be able to hold back for long.
...
"You guys keep watch here, I need to take a dump."
Brother Dao clutched his stomach, preparing to leave.
"Hehehe... take your time, Brother Dao," Fatty smiled sycophantically.
"You all better behave, don't touch the woman!"
"We understand what you said, we absolutely won't touch her!"
Brother Dao couldn't hold it anymore and hurriedly went to find a place to relieve himself.
After confirming Brother Dao had left, a lecherous smile appeared on Fatty's face as he exchanged glances with the other two.
The three men slowly approached the unconscious Ye Mengyao.
"Little beauty... your pig brother is coming."
Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't sit still any longer!
How could he tolerate watching his beloved being defiled by these scum right before his eyes?
He charged out immediately!
"Let her go!"
As a master of hidden strength, Lin Yu possessed formidable combat abilities and speed.
He clearly had martial arts training, appearing before them in the blink of an eye. He threw a punch at Fatty's face, imbued with hidden strength, the terrifying blow directly distorted Fatty's face, sending five or six teeth flying.
Fatty fell to the ground coughing blood... clearly in bad shape.
"Fatty!"
The other two men shouted, grabbing iron rods from the ground and charging forward.
Lin Yu displayed his might, his tiger-like body trembling. Facing the iron rods swinging down at him, his brain instantly calculated multiple angles.
Mere iron rods? Could they harm a master of hidden strength like me? I should dodge!
No, no! Ye Mengyao is unconscious now... there's no one to see my impressive display. If I'm seriously injured, when Yaoyao wakes up and sees that I risked my life to save her, she'll definitely fall in love with me.
Lin Yu's CPU was nearly overheating as he made his final decision!
He would take these two hits head-on!
"Bang! Bang!"
"Ah~" Lin Yu screamed in pain, those two hits nearly sent him to meet his ancestors.
After taking the two hits, though Lin Yu looked miserable... he still had fighting strength.
He struck again, quickly taking care of the other two thugs.
"Heh... useless trash! Even when given a chance, you're worthless!"
Lin Yu spat out a bloody glob, wiped his mouth, exuding an aura of coolness from head to toe.
"Yaoyao..."
Lin Yu was about to check if Ye Mengyao had been harmed by these men...
Suddenly, his heart rang with danger!
"Bang!" A muffled gunshot rang out.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
