As soon as Gu Chenan's message appeared in the group chat, curious people clicked on the video.
When they saw Li Lin's face, bruised and swollen beyond recognition, everyone was confused.
Who... is this person?
But soon they learned the identity of this man.
The video Gu Chenan posted was only a few seconds long, but he made everything very clear in it.
Not only did people learn that these men had come to ambush Gu Chenan, but they also discovered Li Lin's identity through the conversation between Gu Chenan and Li Lin.
Instantly, everyone was stunned.
Li Lin, Liu Dong's right-hand man, and a notorious figure in the underground world of Magic City!
This man, whose mere name could scare off many young tough guys, was now kneeling before Gu Chenan in this pitiful state, begging for mercy!
If someone had told this story, no one would have believed it, but it actually happened!
"Holy crap, Gu, what's going on?"
"No way, Gu, is this guy really Li Lin? I mean, THE Li Lin we've heard about?"
"Gu, how on earth did you make Li Lin kneel and beg you?"
"Damn, Li Lin? The underground big shot Li Lin? Gu, you actually made Li Lin kneel and beg you, how incredible are you?"
"Who in Magic City has ever heard of Li Lin kneeling to anyone? This is huge news!"
Everyone was dumbfounded by this video. For years in Magic City, they had only seen others kneeling and apologizing to Li Lin, but who had ever seen Li Lin kneeling and apologizing to someone else?
While the group was in shock, Song Xiaoli, who had just arrived home, also opened the group chat.
Looking at the messages in the group, she was confused.
Li Lin kneeling and begging Gu Chenan for mercy?
Wasn't he a notorious big shot? How could he possibly kneel and beg Gu Chenan?
Huh, Gu Chenan must be lying in the group to save face!
Song Xiaoli casually scrolled up, intending to see what Gu Chenan had said, but unexpectedly saw a video.
With doubt and curiosity, Song Xiaoli clicked on the video.
At first glance, she was shocked.
She saw Li Lin, his face swollen like a pig's head, kneeling before Gu Chenan like a prisoner of war, constantly admitting his mistakes.
The few-second video quickly ended, but Song Xiaoli's shock persisted.
From Li Lin's words, she roughly understood that tonight, Li Lin had been ordered by Liu Dong to bring five or six strong men with switchblades to cause trouble for Gu Chenan.
But unexpectedly, they didn't succeed at all, and instead ended up in this situation.
If it were anyone else, Song Xiaoli wouldn't have been so shocked, but the problem was...
That was Li Lin!
Even without Liu Dong's backing, Li Lin was considered a formidable figure, yet now he was being humiliated by Gu Chenan, unable to say a single harsh word.
"What... what on earth did this Gu Chenan do?!"
Song Xiaoli couldn't figure it out, frowning as she sat on the couch looking at Gu Chenan's message after the video.
— Is this the man your Boss Liu sent?
She had been feeling incredibly frustrated, but as she kept looking, her brow suddenly relaxed.
"Gu Chenan, you don't think Liu Dong and Li Lin will let you off just because you made Li Lin kneel and beg, do you?"
"Your behavior is simply suicidal!"
"You've completely humiliated Li Lin and Liu Dong, they absolutely won't let you off. Li Lin is just one of Liu Dong's capable subordinates, you can't possibly contend with Liu Dong with your strength!"
Thinking of this, Song Xiaoli immediately @-ed Gu Chenan in the group, replying: "Hmm, you're really something, aren't you? You've thoroughly offended Liu Dong now, and there's no turning back. You don't actually think Liu Dong will let you off, do you? You can't be that naive, right?"
Seeing Song Xiaoli's message, everyone immediately realized this point, and soon people started worrying for Gu Chenan.
Liu Dong wasn't one to easily let things go. Li Lin kneeling and begging didn't just lose his own face, but Liu Dong's as well.
This time, Gu Chenan somehow dealt with these five or six men Li Lin brought, but next time, Liu Dong would definitely send more people, and his methods would become even more vicious.
Gu Chenan seemed to have vented his anger, but in reality, he had stepped into a deeper abyss!
As long as Liu Dong was still in Magic City, Gu Chenan's days wouldn't be peaceful!
"Xiaoli's words are right, Gu, you're really not afraid of trouble. You've made Li Lin so miserable, forget about Liu Dong, even Li Lin himself won't let this go!"
"That's right, Gu. Although Liu Dong is Li Lin's boss, he's still a big shot. If you had apologized and let him save face, it might have been fine. But now you've offended Li Lin, and that guy is a true underground figure. Who knows what methods he might use in the future!"
"Gu, honestly, I advise you to hide well. You've made Liu Dong lose face, who knows what terrible things Liu Dong might do!"
The public opinion in the group completely turned against him. Whether they were truly worried about Gu Chenan or just gloating, all the messages in the group were expressing concern for Gu Chenan.
However, Gu Chenan was still unaware of all this.
After filming the video, he had sent Li Lin away and drove Su Qianmo home.
As soon as they got home, he lovingly held and played with Su Qianmo's stockinged feet. Su Qianmo didn't understand at first, but gradually got used to it, so she opened her phone and started reading "Peerless Dragon King" again.
But as she was reading, she suddenly felt a warm breath on her toes. Gu Chenan had started.
"Chen- Chenan, what- what are you doing?"
Su Qianmo looked down and her cheeks immediately turned red. Although she didn't understand why Gu Chenan had this fetish, she was still greatly shocked.
"You, don't- don't lick, it tickles!"
"Are the toes not enough, you want the soles too?"
...
While Gu Chenan was indulging in Su Qianmo's feet, the video he posted in the classmates' group was spreading rapidly, from one to ten, ten to a hundred, quickly spreading throughout Magic City.
This video was like a bombshell, shocking the entire Magic City!
There were plenty of people in Magic City who knew Li Lin, and even those who didn't soon learned about him from others' explanations.
Compared to the shock of Li Lin kneeling to someone, people were more curious about who exactly Li Lin had knelt to, in other words, who was the identity of this videographer?
Countless busybodies turned into detectives, reviewing all the events that had happened in the past few days.
Finally, two names appeared in everyone's view: Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo!
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. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? 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? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
