The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 192

Chapter 192

"Go ahead and eat," Ling Chunann cheerfully called to the dazed Ye Feixiao across the table.

"Ah, oh!" Ye Feixiao hurriedly picked up his chopsticks, lowered his head to shovel some rice into his mouth, and then cautiously picked up a piece of green vegetable from the plate in front of him. After chewing a few times, his eyes lit up, and he went for another chopstick-full. It took several bites before he realized he wasn't at home, and he paused to stealthily glance at Shu Yiheng across the table. He saw Shu Yiheng peeling a shrimp and placing it into Ling Chunann's bowl. Despite his expressionless face, every move he made was unspeakably gentle.

Ling Chunann ate the shrimp, and Shu Yiheng picked another green vegetable for him. Ling stared at the vegetable for a second before picking it up and placing it into Shu's bowl. Shu naturally picked it up and ate it. When he looked up, he saw Ye Feixiao staring at his chopsticks as if he'd seen a ghost. "What's wrong?"

"Ah?" Ye Feixiao, stunned, turned to Ling Chunann and then felt a chill down his spine, "Nothing, nothing at all." He quickly lowered his head to continue eating, feeling somewhat envious of their interaction.

After dinner, Ye Feixiao, holding his overfilled stomach, sat down on the sofa. "Alan, the food at your place is really good. Where did you hire the chef from?"

"Ah?" Ling Chunann replied, "We don't have a chef."

Ye Feixiao's eyes widened as he stared in the direction of the kitchen for two minutes. "Ah? He..." So the legendary master chef is this good at cooking! But this bigshot doesn't look like someone who would cook.

"By the way, stay here for the next few days. It'll be easier to meet up with Li Suiyun when he arrives," Ling Chunann changed the subject.

"But I didn't bring any change of clothes or my computer," Ye Feixiao said somewhat dejectedly. "I thought I had offended some big shot in the underworld, scared me half to death."

"Did you bring your phone?" Ling Chunann asked.

"Yes." Ye Feixiao obediently took out his phone, the screen still on the emergency dial screen with the police number dialed in. He quickly pressed back to the home screen, giving an awkward laugh, "Hehe, I really thought I was kidnapped. Just to be safe, you know."

"It's fine as long as you have your phone. I have a computer here, and there are clothes for you to change into, so you don't need to go back for yours."

And so, Ye Feixiao stayed at Shu Yiheng's house.

After realizing Ling Chunann was the renowned Feng Lan, his fondness for Ling increased, and he clung to Ling all day to play games. After finding out his game account was gone, he created a new one and even took Ling as his master. Now without a studio to level up for him, he had no choice but to level up by himself, painfully reaching max level in two and a half days. Just as he was about to call for Ling, his screen went black—connection to the server lost.

After trying to log in for a long time without success, Ye Feixiao realized the internet was down. "Could it be a bill issue?... Impossible," he said as he got up and walked towards the door, heading towards Ling Chunann's room. Just as he was about to knock, he saw the door was ajar. From his angle, he could see Ling sitting on Shu Yiheng's lap, the two kissing. Ye Feixiao covered his mouth and quietly closed the door, heading downstairs. Not paying attention to where he was going, he nearly bumped into Yuan Zhixing, who was just about to go upstairs, startling him and causing him to jump, nearly falling over.

"Brother Ye, where are Master Shu and the young master?" Yuan Zhixing steadied Ye Feixiao.

"They, they're upstairs," Ye Feixiao replied. "They might be a bit busy right now, is there something you need?"

"I see," Yuan Zhixing adjusted his glasses. "I'll wait here for them then."

Five minutes later, Shu Yiheng came downstairs. He glanced at Ye Feixiao and then asked Yuan Zhixing, "What's up?"

Yuan Zhixing quickly stood up, "Master Shu, the person has been found near a small factory by Nancheng station. Shu An sent a message needing support."

"Okay, you take charge of the support," Shu Yiheng nodded.

"Yes," Yuan Zhixing responded.

As Ye Feixiao listened , he felt more and more that something was wrong, especially after hearing about Nancheng station. Suddenly, he looked up, "Are you talking about finding Li Suiyun?"

"You go ahead," Shu Yiheng said to Yuan Zhixing, who had paused.

"Alright," Yuan Zhixing quickly left.

Seeing Yuan Zhixing leave, Ye Feixiao, who was about to say they should go together, closed his mouth, hesitatingly looking at Shu Yiheng.

Shu Yiheng didn't plan to say more to Ye Feixiao and started heading upstairs.

Just when Ye Feixiao thought he was completely ignored, Shu Yiheng's voice, neither light nor heavy, reached his ears, "You're on night watch tonight."

"..."

"Li Suiyun has been found?" Ling Chunann, who had come back, shifted his gaze from the window.

"He's been found. He should be back tonight." Shu Yiheng paused, his gaze lingering on Ling Chunann's lips before smiling, "Darling, I remember Yuan Zhixing's house has two spare rooms. Maybe they could stay there?"

Ling Chunann couldn't help but laugh, "I knew you couldn't hold back." To think he even knew how many spare rooms his subordinate had.

But before Ling Chunann could finish laughing, his laughter was stifled.

This time, the door was locked.

Ye Feixiao didn't quite understand Shu Yiheng's intentions. Weren't there people outside watching? Why did he still need to keep watch? Yet, he dared not neglect Shu Yiheng's words. As night fell, he moved a stool to sit by the entrance of the yard. After a while, he started to get bored; his phone had run out of battery, and he turned his attention to the two motionless black-clothed guards. Tentatively, he called out, "Hello."

A minute passed without a response. Ye Feixiao, unwilling to give up, stood up and approached them, "Are you bodyguards?"

Persistence paid off. On Ye Feixiao's tenth question, about what they had for dinner, the one on the left finally reacted... by glaring at Ye Feixiao.

Ye Feixiao: "..." It was just a question out of boredom. "By the way, do you know Master Shu's name?" It suddenly occurred to him that he still didn't know Shu Yiheng's name.

No response. Ye Feixiao shrugged, "Never mind, I guess you don't know."

During Ye Feixiao's one-sided conversation, the moon rose high in the sky.

Suddenly, a faint rustling sound began to approach from outside the gate, eerily silent and terrifying. Ye Feixiao, unaware, was about to start another topic when suddenly his mouth was covered by the guard on the left, "Quiet."

Ye Feixiao nodded vigorously, finally freed. Coming to his senses, he remembered that this person had been at least two meters away from him. How had he managed to move so quietly and quickly to cover his mouth? But more importantly, with such skilled martial artists guarding the door, why did Shu Yiheng need him to keep watch?

If Shu Yiheng were to explain... he wouldn't. But 098 would probably tell Ye Feixiao seriously that it was because of jealousy, for spending too much time around the host, significantly reducing their time together.

The rustling sound grew louder, moving from outside to inside, sounding more sinister.

Ye Feixiao suddenly remembered the scenes he had seen of devil vines emerging from their hosts, the sound eerily similar to what he was hearing now. He gasped, eyes widening towards the source of the sound, about to take a closer look when suddenly a hand stopped him, "Go inside and report to Master Shu."

Ye Feixiao glanced at the dark corner of the garden, then turned back, stepping inside. Just as he was about to enter, he saw the guard who had pulled him back drawing something from his waist. From the silhouette, it looked like... a gun. The man then turned to look at him, "Aren't you going in?"

Ye Feixiao slammed the door shut.

"What's going on?" Ling Chunann stood at the stairwell.

"Ah, Alan, what kind of people are they? Why do they have guns? And they seem very capable," Ye Feixiao shivered.

"Bodyguards have guns, but they're usually fake. And if they weren't capable, how would they protect their employer?" Ling Chunann replied as he descended the stairs. "Weren't you supposed to be keeping watch outside?"

Reassured by the mention of fake guns, Ye Feixiao was about to continue speaking when he caught sight of Shu Yiheng and instinctively panicked, forgetting what he was about to say.

Shu Yiheng handed Ling Chunann a cup of water, which Ling accepted. "Hot?"

"Yes, cold water is not good for the body."

Ye Feixiao: "..."

Ling Chunann finished drinking and looked at Ye Feixiao, who was still staring blankly at him. "Didn't you have something to say just now?"

"Ah! When we were keeping watch outside just now, we suddenly heard rustling noises coming from the flowerbed. The guard told me to come in and report," Ye Feixiao spoke rapidly.

"I'll go check it out," Shu Yiheng said, standing up to go outside.

Ye Feixiao also wanted to follow but, seeing Ling Chunann unmoving, hesitated and chose to stay put.

Three minutes later, unable to contain his curiosity, Ye Feixiao asked, "Alan, could it be the devil vines...?"

"Hm?" Ling Chunann glanced at the anxious Ye Feixiao and comforted him, "It's nothing."

Half an hour later, Ye Feixiao couldn't sit still. He stood up and paced in front of the sofa. "Alan, what exactly are these devil vines? Where did they come from? If they really are as described in the survival guide, is our world eventually going to be overrun by them?"

"The most crucial question is... can Li Suiyun make it back alive?" As Ye Feixiao spoke, his face grew paler, looking both guilt-ridden and helpless.

"Host, the devil vines in the yard have been eradicated. However, the devil vines have invaded many places worldwide, and most cities have fallen under their control. Humanity is in grave danger," came a voice from nowhere.

Ling Chunann nodded, "And Li Suiyun?"

"He is almost at the door," the voice, identified as 098, replied. "His abilities have been activated, but it seems he has sustained serious injuries and needs support to walk. Also, host, the male and female leads are returning with him."

"Hm." Ling Chunann stood up and turned to the daydreaming Ye Feixiao, "Let's go outside and take a look."
