“System, as long as I kill Lin Yu, I'll return to the real world, right?”
“If the protagonist Lin Yu dies, the host's performance will end.”
“So... since I've come this far, can I get some rewards? There are two people here, Lin Yu and Cao Mang.”
Looking at the deserted old factory in front of him, Gu Chenan asked in his mind.
“...”
The System hesitated for a moment: “Detecting that the host currently has no completed tasks, no rewards will be issued.”
“Tch!”
Gu Chenan gritted his teeth. He had never had a good impression of this System to begin with, and now... even less so.
Putting his thoughts aside, Gu Chenan surveyed the factory in front of him. Weeds grew wildly, and it was desolate.
For Gu Chenan, returning to the real world was the top priority.
He could have surrounded this abandoned factory with the elites from the Gu and Liu families, and even if the female leads were harmed, it wouldn't affect his goal of killing Lin Yu and returning to the real world.
After all, the System had never said that the safety of the female leads was linked to whether Gu Chenan could return to the real world.
But Gu Chenan came alone.
Currently, Gu Chenan's strength was barely on par with Cao Mang's. With Cao Mang and Lin Yu teaming up, he wouldn't stand a chance.
Moreover, even though Lin Yu had lost most of his destiny, he was still the protagonist.
So, Gu Chenan coming alone meant he was prepared to fight for his life.
Even if he had to die, he was determined to save the three female leads.
He could always go through the plot again, but he had to save the female leads!
“Huh~”
Gu Chenan took a deep breath, slightly calming his emotions before stepping into the factory.
The factory wasn't large and only had one entrance open, so Gu Chenan quickly entered the workshop where Lin Yu was.
Tat-tat-tat.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the vast, empty workshop.
“He's here.”
Cao Mang stood up, flexing his wrists, and looked towards the entrance of the workshop.
“He's alone.”
Lin Yu jumped down from the stairs leading to the rooftop, his eyes burning with fervor as he stood beside Cao Mang.
The three female leads also looked towards the entrance, their expressions a mix of joy and worry.
Trapped in a dangerous situation, they naturally hoped someone would come to rescue them, but they also worried about Gu Chenan risking his life alone.
Under the various gazes, the footsteps grew closer until a figure stepped out.
Gu Chenan appeared before them with his hands in his pockets, looking calm and composed.
Gu Chenan understood that the more dangerous the situation, the calmer he needed to be. He couldn't start off with a look of wanting to kill everyone. If he got angry and panicked, it would play right into Lin Yu's hands.
“Long time no see, you two.”
Gu Chenan stopped five meters away from the two and spread his hands. “If you wanted to see me, just give me a call. After all, we worked together. There's no need to make things so ugly, right?”
“Woo-woo-woo—”
Seeing that Gu Chenan had come alone, the three female leads immediately panicked.
However, Gu Chenan's calm demeanor left Lin Yu and Cao Mang puzzled.
This Gu Chenan is too composed, isn't he?
We've kidnapped his women, and he's so nonchalant?
Cao Mang didn't think much and glared at Gu Chenan, cursing, “Shameless, who are you to call us colleagues? Don't flatter yourself.”
Unlike Cao Mang, Lin Yu was deeply suspicious.
In Lin Yu's perception, Gu Chenan was always a scumbag. Apart from his obsessive love for Su Qianmo, he had no feelings for anyone else.
That's why Lin Yu targeted Su Qianmo directly for the kidnapping, and Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin were just coincidental.
Also, Gu Chenan was a coward. If he only came to prevent Lin Yu from harming Su Qianmo, he would surely be on his knees begging. How could he be so calm now?
Could it be...
A trap?
Or does Gu Chenan have the confidence to save these three bitches?
“Woo-woo-woo—”
The three female leads continued to make muffled sounds, each with an anxious expression.
“Haha, looks like your sweethearts want to say something to you. Let's hear what they have to say.”
Cao Mang chuckled triumphantly, removing the towels from their mouths.
“Chenan, run! Don't worry about us, they kidnapped us to lure you here!”
Su Qianmo shouted with all her might, as if trying to make Gu Chenan understand the situation.
“Master Gu, run!”
Bai Yutian also spoke up, but tears streamed down her face as she did.
Tang Yunjin, however, was different from the other two. She didn't shout at Gu Chenan but glared angrily at Lin Yu.
“Lin Yu, you beast! I was blind to have taught you the techniques of the Tang family!”
“If you dare to touch Gu Chenan, I'll make you pay a hundred times over!”
“Ha?”
Lin Yu was taken aback, then laughed loudly, “Master, haven't you figured out the situation yet? Your meridians are damaged, you can't use your powers, you're completely useless!”
“How exactly are you going to make me pay a hundred times over?”
With that, he turned furiously towards Gu Chenan.
“Gu Chenan! You scum, what despicable means did you use to sow discord between me and my master!”
Gu Chenan's expression didn't change at all due to the words of the three female leads. He spread his hands and said, “To be honest, I don't know.”
“You!” Lin Yu was momentarily stumped, then laughed angrily, “Alright, you're on the brink of death and still stubborn, huh? I'll see if you'll tell me before you die!”
Lin Yu had been stunned by Gu Chenan's composure, but now, in a fit of rage, he didn't think much.
His mind was filled with past humiliations and the resentment of having so many women taken by Gu Chenan.
“Cao Ge, no more talking, let's do it!”
Cao Mang sneered, “Gu Chenan, your courage to come alone, should I call it fearless or ignorant?”
Gu Chenan took off his suit jacket, folded it neatly, and placed it on a rusty machine. Then he pulled off his tie and unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt.
“Enough talk, let me see if your strength is as impressive as you claim, Cao Mang.”
“Heh.”
Cao Mang grinned, holding back the eager Lin Yu with a hand, “Let me deal with Gu Chenan first, you watch the three women.”
Lin Yu had originally planned to team up with Cao Mang to attack Gu Chenan together, beat him half to death, tie him up, and then have his way with the three female leads in front of him.
But since Cao Mang wanted to solo Gu Chenan first, Lin Yu had nothing to say.
Without Cao Mang, Lin Yu wouldn't be a match for Gu Chenan.
“Understood.” Lin Yu nodded, sitting on the prepared bed, his eyes filled with anticipation and satisfaction as he looked at Gu Chenan.
Gu Chenan!

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
