The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Ling Chunann pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed, and to make his act of being drunk more convincing, he even held his breath for a few minutes to flush his face red.

When Ge Lingsheng entered the room, he didn't speak immediately, nor did he touch Ling Chunann. He just stared at him for a long while, his gaze deep and probing, which even 098 could tell.

"Host, what does he... want to do?" 098 transmitted the scene to Ling Chunann while asking.

"How would I know?" Ling Chunann shrugged internally, then laughed, "Maybe he's taken a liking to me."

Despite saying this, Ling Chunann didn't let his guard down. In a sense, this person could be considered the first of his kind he had encountered in the mission world. Until he was sure of the other's intentions, caution was absolutely necessary.

The standoff continued until Ge Lingsheng finally spoke, "I think we need to have a talk."

Ling Chunann wasn't surprised that the other had discovered he was awake. If he could figure out that the other was a mission participant, then as someone who had come this far and could be considered experienced, not to mention with a system, it was natural he would know his identity.

Without any hint of embarrassment at being discovered, Ling Chunann lazily propped himself up, even finding a pillow to support his back, then looked at the man in front of him with a mix of confusion and surprise, "King Ge? What do you need from me?"

Seeing Ling Chunann's act, the corner of Ge Lingsheng's mouth twitched, but he quickly returned to smiling and sat down on the sofa opposite the bed.

The current Ge Lingsheng was vastly different from the one on the screen, both in demeanor and aura. If before he was like an unsheathed sword, now, he was like a sovereign ruler of all he surveyed.

But to Ling Chunann, this made little difference; this person was still lacking compared to someone from his family.

"Inviting you here today was actually to have a private conversation with you. Please, don't take it amiss," Ge Lingsheng apologized with gentlemanly grace.

Ling Chunann put on a flattered expression, "King Ge's gracious invitation is something I'm too grateful for. What business do you have with a newly debuted singer like me?"

Ge Lingsheng's eyes held a bit more appreciation seeing that Ling Chunann was unaffected by his presence, "Then I'll speak frankly. Hello, mission participant. Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Ge Lingsheng, also a mission participant."

Facing such a straightforward admission, Ling Chunann straightened a bit, his eyes showing surprise, "You're a mission participant too? But doesn't the system say there can only be one mission participant in a world?"

Ling Chunann didn't miss the flicker of annoyance in Ge Lingsheng's eyes after he spoke those words, still looking puzzled at the man opposite him.

"May I ask which world Miss Su was originally supposed to go to?" Ge Lingsheng quickly adjusted his mood.

"According to the system, I was supposed to go to a medium world. Is there a problem?" Ling Chunann blinked, making himself look like an innocent, curious baby.

It had to be said that Ling Chunann's appearance in this world was exceptionally pleasing, especially when in drag, making him nearly irresistible.

Ge Lingsheng looked into Ling Chunann's eyes for a second, then looked away, and began to explain the relationship between mission participants. He also informed him that this was not a medium world but a special world.

"So, you're a special grade mission participant? And if you killed me, I wouldn't have a chance to continue?" Ling Chunann's eyes were full of wariness.

"Of course. But rest assured, I have no ill intentions," Ge Lingsheng's expression softened, "I never make things difficult for new mission participants. For the sake of both of us completing our missions smoothly, I hope we can establish a cooperative relationship."

After Ge Lingsheng finished speaking, Ling Chunann pondered for a while, then slowly nodded under Ge Lingsheng's expectant gaze, "How do we cooperate?"

Ge Lingsheng smiled convincingly, "This is a special world. For mission participants, our biggest enemy is not failing the mission, but the competition among ourselves. I assume your mission involves dealing with the male lead or achieving some accomplishment?"

Ling Chunann leaned forward, his eyes filled with astonishment, "How do you know?"

"I'm sorry, I've looked into some of your recent actions. However, I haven't found out about the power behind you, hmm, very strong," Ge Lingsheng commented cautiously.

"Every company has its little secrets," Ling Chunann

's face flushed slightly, "I happen to have some expertise in computing."

"You're too modest," Ge Lingsheng laughed, "After becoming a mission participant, I realized how important it is to have a skill of one's own."

Changing the subject, Ling Chunann curiously asked, "May I ask, Mr. Ge, what is your mission?"

"My mission doesn't conflict with yours," Ge Lingsheng's smile grew wider, "My task, to be precise, has nothing to do with the main character and his group."

"Then earlier..."

"Assisting the male lead's side? Just for fun. You know, being an older mission participant can be very boring," Ge Lingsheng shrugged, then extended his hand, "Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Ge Lingsheng. After becoming a special grade mission participant, we have the right to use our real names. May I have the honor of knowing Miss's name?"

098: "Host, don't tell him your real name."

"Yun Zehan," Ling Chunann answered, and shook hands with Ge Lingsheng.

Perhaps because Ling Chunann's response was too natural, Ge Lingsheng didn't doubt the authenticity of the name, "Miss Yun, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Ling Chunann responded, "A pleasure to cooperate."

After establishing a pleasant cooperative relationship with Ge Lingsheng, Ling Chunann smiled as he saw him off, then locked the door again and returned to bed, yawning and beginning to feel drowsy, "098?"

"I'm sorry, host," 098, finally recovering from the shock of transitioning from a medium to a special world, apologized before saying, "Host, a mission participant's real name is directly linked to their original power. In a special world, it's best not to tell anyone your real name." But seeing how naturally Ling Chunann had acted just now, 098 knew his concern was unnecessary. However, as a system, it was still obliged to remind him.

"Got it," Ling Chunann nodded, "Thank you."

After a while, 098 couldn't help but ask, "Host, do you believe what that person just said?"

"Analyze it for me," Ling Chunann became interested, not because of Ge Lingsheng, but because 098 seemed to have gotten smarter recently, giving him a sense of pride as if witnessing his child's growth.

"In the premise of non-conflicting missions, cooperation between mission participants is possible. However, hostility is more common. But the statements of that mission participant were too vague. However, I didn't detect any hostility from him. His attitude is unclear, so I suggest the host maintain a wait-and-see attitude."

After 098 finished speaking, he felt himself being pinched again, then heard his host's reassuring laughter, "098, you've grown."

"..."

In the end, 098 couldn't tell whether Ling Chunann believed Ge Lingsheng's words or not, feeling a bit defeated. Compared to his host, he was still too inexperienced.

Ling Chunann, half-closing his eyes, seemed to be pondering something before simply falling asleep.

Qin Muhe broke into the room just less than a minute after Ling Chunann had fallen asleep, waking him up. Instinctively, Ling Chunann threw a pillow towards the source of the noise, hitting Qin Muhe squarely, but the murderous aura on him dissipated at the same time. He waved his hand to dismiss Qin Chu behind him, then entered the room alone, sat beside Ling Chunann, and softened his expression, "Baby, I'm here to take you home. Let's go back to sleep."

Ling Chunann opened his eyes, snuggled up to the man, then closed them again, "Tired."

Facing his baby's coquettish behavior, Qin Muhe always had no resistance, smiling as he picked him up, "I'll carry you back."

Carrying Ling Chunann to the elevator, Qin Muhe didn't press for the ground floor but the top floor, where a small helipad was located, with a helicopter parked on it.

Qin Feng, sitting in the pilot's seat, saluted Qin Muhe respectfully upon seeing him, "Boss." Then he curiously looked at Ling Chunann in his arms.

The boss had been discussing business, then after receiving a text message, hurried over. He thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be for a girl. Could it be that they finally had a "lady boss"?

As Qin Feng was about to take a closer look at what kind of person could charm the boss to this extent, he suddenly felt a chill and quickly averted his gaze, focusing on piloting the aircraft.

Qin Muhe carefully removed his suit jacket and wrapped it around Ling Chunann, then put ear protectors on him before signaling Qin Feng to take off.

Watching his boss's actions, Qin Feng reverted from his stunned expression to diligently performing his duties as a pilot.

"Send Ge Lingsheng's recent information to my computer when we get back."

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

Ling Chunann woke up the next day in his warm bed, yawning. He really didn't like thinking too much, especially in this world where he was prone to sleepiness; thinking made him unbearably drowsy.

"Baby, you're awake. Are you hungry?" Qin Muhe, who had moved his desk into the bedroom, noticed Ling Chunann waking up immediately.

"Yes." Ling Chunann half-closed his eyes, looking towards the man smiling indulgently at him, and couldn't help but smile back.

"I'll take you to wash up, then we can eat." Qin Muhe pinched Ling Chunann's cheek, the soft touch making him unable to resist squeezing a few more times, then picked him up before Ling Chunann could protest, "There's no work scheduled for today. You can go back to sleep after eating if you're still tired."
