The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 132

Chapter 132

As soon as Ling Chunann opened the door, Leung Youyi rushed towards him. Had Ling not dodged swiftly, Leung would have crashed into him. Observing the Vampire Prince, who managed to stabilize himself by the door frame in time, Ling Chunann frowned, "What happened? Take it slow."

Leung Youyi was covered in blood, looking exceptionally ragged, but upon closer inspection, not all the blood on him was his own; he barely had any wounds. Gasping for breath, his face pale, he said, "Yi... Yiheng brother, go save Ah Jiu."

After saying this, Leung Youyi fainted. Ling Chunann checked and found that he had fainted due to energy exhaustion and needed some rest; there was no serious harm.

By then, Yuan Congshu, who had been in the study, was already standing behind Leung Youyi. He picked up Leung Youyi, "My treasure, I'll take him to his room. You should rest early. I need to step out for a bit but will be back soon."

Ling Chunann nodded, "Remember to bring back Yuan Jiu."

"Okay," Yuan Congshu agreed, carrying Leung Youyi downstairs.

Watching Yuan Congshu leave, Ling Chunann returned to his room and closed the door, "098, check what happened to male lead number five today?"

"Yes, host," 098, who had quickly reacted to Leung Youyi's appearance and began searching, reported, "Host, those male leads who were banished to Country C managed to escape from the island and seem to have come back for revenge. They ambushed Yuan Jiu and Leung Youyi. Yuan Jiu protected Leung Youyi, which is why he was able to come back and report." 098's tone then became more urgent, "This is bad, host, male lead number two has gone to the female lead!"

Zhang Yunya did not see her career-focused parents when she returned home today, but she wasn't upset thanks to Su Zijing's company. After spending some time shopping, as it got late, they headed towards their rented apartment.

Coincidentally, they once again encountered Yang Mingxuan in the same alley as before.

"Yang... Yang senior?" Su Zijing tightened her grip on Zhang Yunya's hand, looking anxious.

"Junior Su, Junior Zhang, long time no see," Yang Mingxuan greeted with a smile, still the gentle and considerate senior, "I hope you're both well."

"He's here for you; he won't do anything to me. I'll talk to him, and you should run," Zhang Yunya whispered rapidly to Su Zijing, then stepped forward to shield Su Zijing. "Thank you for your concern, we're fine," she said, feigning ease, "Senior Yang, you haven't been to school for a while. Did something happen?"

While speaking, Zhang Yunya signaled Su Zijing to run. However, Su Zijing seemed paralyzed, firmly holding her hand, refusing to leave.

"Nothing much, just went abroad for a bit. But you, Junior Zhang, seem to have lost weight since I last saw you," Yang Mingxuan said leisurely, finding their nervousness amusing as he leaned against a graffiti-covered alley wall, "You seem scared of me?"

"No, not at all," Zhang Yunya forced a smile, continuously signaling Su Zijing with her eyes, "Let's go, Zijing, hurry."

"I won't, won't leave. I want to stay with you," Su Zijing said with a trembling voice.

"Is that so?" Yang Mingxuan chuckled lightly, straightening up and slowly approaching the two girls.

Seeing Yang Mingxuan draw nearer, Zhang Yunya's heart skipped a beat, then she suddenly pushed Su Zijing towards the alley entrance and embraced Yang Mingxuan, "Run!"

"Xia... Xiaoya..." Su Zijing sobbed, then, meeting Zhang Yunya's gaze, she finally stumbled towards the alley exit.

Yang Mingxuan, held tightly by Zhang Yunya, sneered, and with a pat, a dull thump was heard as Zhang Yunya hit the wall and slid down, her condition unknown.

"Xiaoya!" Having reached the alley entrance, Su Zijing saw this and stumbled back in shock.

"Heh, no one's coming to save you this time," Yang Mingxuan said as he grabbed Su Zijing.

"What have you done to her? Let me go!" Su Zijing pounded on Yang Mingxuan.

Yang Mingxuan ignored her, his eyes turning red, and he bit towards Su Zijing's neck.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoya..."

Su Zijing's voice grew fainter.

On the roof at the end of the alley, 098, having observed for a while, finally couldn't hold back, "Host, aren't you going to intervene? In half a minute, the female lead's blood will be drained."

"Wait a bit longer," Ling Chunann said calmly, flicking pebbles in his hand.

At the twenty-ninth second, Ling Chunann finally made his move.

Yang Mingxuan felt a sudden pain at the back of his head, loosened his bite, and looked behind, only to be met with a forceful blow to his face. Before he could even grunt, he blacked out.

Looking at the pile of bloody teeth on the ground, 098 shivered. The host's punch was too fierce.

Ling Chunann picked up the female lead, who was on the verge of becoming a desiccated corpse, using healing powers to temporarily save her life.

"What now, host?" 098 asked.

"Wait for someone," Ling Chunann glanced at the other two on the ground, "There are three people here; it’s difficult for me to carry them back alone."

"Waiting for who?" 098 inquired.

"Here they come."

As soon as Ling Chunann finished speaking, Yuan Congshu appeared in front of him, "My treasure, I'm here."

098: "..." That was quick.

Ling Chunann: "Ready to drive?"

"I was in a hurry, didn’t bring the car, but I've called for one. It should arrive shortly," Yuan Congshu said, followed by the sound of brakes screeching outside, "Here it is."

Yuan Qi hurried out of the car, "Your Highness, I apologize for the delay."

"No problem, you've arrived just in time," Ling Chunann said as he placed Su Zijing in the back seat, then took the passenger seat.

"Thank you for your praise," Yuan Qi quickly responded.

Yuan Congshu stuffed Zhang Yunya and Yang Mingxuan into the car as well, then took the driver's seat, "There’s no more room; you'll have to go back to the mansion for another car."

Watching the car speed away, Yuan Qi stood there dazed. That was the new car he had bought just a few days ago, after saving up for a long time from his night market barbecue stall sales.

After a moment's thought, overcoming his dismay, Yuan Qi followed suit.

"How is Yuan Jiu?" Ling Chunann inquired.

"There's nothing serious, just needs some rest," Yuan Congshu spoke, "Leung Youyi is taking care of him." He paused, glancing at Yang Mingxuan in the back seat before continuing, "About those princes, and this one, what do you plan to do with them?"

"What should be done according to the rules?" Ling Chunann inquired.

"Escapees from the island should be executed."

"Host! They're male leads, you can't execute them!" Ignoring the risk of being discovered by Yuan Congshu, 098 hurriedly interjected.

Of course, Ling Chunann knew this. He didn't respond to 098, instead addressing Yuan Congshu, "Just make sure not to kill them."

"Alright," Yuan Congshu agreed, then pointed to Su Zijing in the back seat, "Do you plan to give that young girl a blood transfusion?"

"Yes, within three days," Ling Chunann stated.

"Okay, I'll prepare for it."

When Zhang Yunya woke up, it was already daylight the next day. She felt dizzy and in pain as if a truck had run over her. It took her a while to fully regain consciousness. Blinking her eyes, she realized she was in an unfamiliar room. "Where is this?" Then, remembering last night's events, she tensed up, "Zijing, where's Zijing?"

Attempting to get out of bed, Zhang Yunya's body gave out, and she rolled onto the floor.

Struggling to get up, the door opened, and someone walked in.

Zhang Yunya looked up to see a lean young man entering.

"My goodness, grandmother, you haven't recovered yet. Can you please not move around?" Yuan Qi, who had been dragged in to do grunt work, quickly knelt down to help Zhang Yunya back onto the bed, "I mean, you... A young girl should just lie down and rest if injured. Why run around?"

"Zijing, where's Zijing?" Zhang Yunya grabbed Yuan Qi's hand and asked.

"Who's Zijing?" Yuan Qi looked puzzled, then realized, "Are you talking about the girl who was rescued with you by the boss yesterday? Don't worry, she won't die for now." Thinking of Su Zijing, Yuan Qi was thoroughly impressed with Ling Chunann. He didn't know how His Highness did it, but she survived even in that condition.

"Where is she now?" Despite Yuan Qi's reassurance, Zhang Yunya couldn't be at ease without seeing for herself.

"In the room to your left," Yuan Qi said, "Since you're awake, I'll go get you some porridge. Please stay put and don't move around."

Just as Ling Chunann stepped out of his room, he saw Zhang Yunya staggering towards the next room, leaning on the walls.

Ling Chunann watched for a moment, then turned back to his room and closed the door.

"Aren't you going to treat Zhang Yunya?" 098 asked.

"She's already awake. It's difficult to proceed, and besides, it's just some bruises. She'll recover quickly," Ling Chunann said.

Ensuring Su Zijing wouldn't die while also preventing her from recovering was technically more challenging than simply healing her. Thus, Ling Chunann had spent his healing abilities on Su Zijing last night and hadn't had the chance to treat Zhang Yunya. By this morning, his abilities had only recovered by a third. He had planned to treat her this morning, but seeing her quite lively, he decided against it.

"Host, Zhang Yunya has reached Su Zijing's room. Do you want to check on her?" 098 was particularly worried, fearing the female lead might accidentally die.

"Time me for two minutes, then call me," Ling Chunann picked up the "Vampire Code" he found in Yuan Congshu's study last night and began to flip through it.

Though 098 didn't understand why wait for two minutes, it obediently started counting down. Just as it was about to remind him, Ling Chunann was already standing, casually picking a candy from the fruit plate Yuan Qi had brought earlier and walking towards the door.

...Such precise internal clock. But doesn't the host never eat candy?

At that moment, Zhang Yunya was sitting on the carpet in front of Su Zijing's bed. Her hand, trembling like that of a frail elderly person, was held over Su Zijing's completely desiccated cheek, hesitating to touch her. Her expression, however, was eerily calm. 098 noticed she was holding a fruit knife in her left hand, seemingly taken from Su Zijing's bag.

Zhang Yunya was about to stab the knife into her heart.

In a split second, accompanied by a crisp sound, the fruit knife fell to the ground.

"She's not dead," Ling Chunann said.

098: "..." Alright, it knew what the host used the candy for now.

Zhang Yunya, still lost in her world, mechanically turned her head upon hearing the sound, seeing Ling Chunann. It took her a while to register, "Yi... Yiheng?"
