I Became the Henchman of a Novel’s Villain

Chapter 7: Teaching the Main Villain How to Woo a Woman?

Watching Bai Zhou’s back as he walked away, Yu Biao, who had always been arrogant and domineering, clenched his molars tightly in frustration.

However, he didn’t dare to hold a grudge against Bai Zhou.

Of course not—hold a grudge against Bai Zhou? The dagger in Bai Zhou’s hand, given by Li Tai, was a clear message: You’re courting death if you dare.  

“Hmph!” He could only let out an impotent cold snort, turn around, and leave.

Just as he turned to leave.

“Pfft… Hahaha…”

Muffled laughter echoed from around the hallway. There were still quite a few of the Li family’s subordinates in the corridor, and all of them had witnessed the earlier scene clearly.

Some even whispered to each other: “Hey! Look at that Biaozi, so arrogant! Can’t act tough now, can he?”

“Hahaha, yeah! Feels so good! He bullies people every day with his muscles, and we all have to call him Brother Biao when we see him. We get paid the same, so what makes him so special?”

Some even imitated Bai Zhou, patting their friend’s shoulder and saying: “Cough cough, be mindful of how you walk, it’s obvious you’re not a decent person.”

“Hahahahaha …”

Another burst of laughter erupted.

However, playfulness aside, every one of their eyes was filled with intense envy toward Bai Zhou!

That’s right. They only dared to talk tough after Yu Biao had left. But Bai Zhou was different! He had the boss Li Tai’s token in his hand! The difference in status between them and Bai Zhou was made clear in just these few minutes!

…

Li Tai’s villa was quite large.

After taking several twists and turns, Bai Zhou finally found the side hall. Li Yonggang was already waiting inside.

Facing Li Yonggang, Bai Zhou didn’t act as “honestly” as he did with Li Tai. Because Li Tai was the “power” he relied on! And Li Yonggang was the “person” he used to “bully others with that power!”

So, as soon as Bai Zhou entered the side hall, he casually found a seat and sat down. This scene left all of Li Yonggang’s underlings in the room wide-eyed with disbelief! They stared, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Was this Bai Zhou really this audacious? Did the young master Li even invite him to sit?  

Of course, among the underlings in the side hall, four of them glanced at the others, their faces saying: “Look at you all making a big deal out of nothing!”

“Haven’t you seen Brother Zhou before, calmly sipping whiskey even while facing the young master’s gun?”

“Standard procedure, don’t overreact!”

Li Yonggang looked at Bai Zhou, his expression revealing no emotion.

Although Li Yonggang was quick to act on impulse, once he calmed down, he was still quite smart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the main villain in the original novel.

He waved his hand: “All of you, leave.”

“Yes, young master.” The underlings responded in unison and quietly left the side hall.

Now, only Bai Zhou and the main villain from the original novel remained in the room.

Li Yonggang slowly stood up and walked toward Bai Zhou, saying: “Thank you for what you did today.”

This sentence was spoken with sincerity.

When he had stormed back in a rage to complain to his father, his father found out that he had kidnapped the only daughter of the Mu Hai Group, and honestly, both his mind and body had taken a huge hit. The slap mark on his face was still quite visible!

It was through his father that he had come to understand the gravity of the situation. Although the Li family’s power far surpassed that of the Mu family, the Mu family was still a leading enterprise in the Magic City, with deep roots.

There were layers upon layers of complexities involved!

In his impulsiveness, he hadn’t considered any of this. So, yes, Bai Zhou had indeed saved him this time. However … if Li Yonggang knew that Bai Zhou’s true intention was to avoid becoming a scapegoat, who knows how he would feel about it?

Bai Zhou responded nonchalantly: “When working for someone else, it’s only natural to do your best for the boss.”

Pfft!  

Even Bai Zhou didn’t believe his own words.

Li Yonggang didn’t respond to Bai Zhou’s comment. Instead, he plopped down on the sofa opposite Bai Zhou, picked up a bottle of whiskey, poured Bai Zhou a glass, and then proceeded to drink straight from the bottle himself.

Seeing how recklessly Li Yonggang drank, draining a third of this whiskey worth tens of thousands in just a few gulps, Bai Zhou almost wanted to give him a thumbs-up and say, “I salute you as a true man!”

Thud!  

Li Yonggang placed the bottle heavily on the table, squinting as he exhaled and said: “I really like Mu Qingqing!”

Huh? Why did the topic suddenly shift to this?  

“With my status, Li Yonggang, what kind of woman can’t I have?”

Oh, so you do know.  

“All those women, when they hear my name, aren’t they all throwing themselves at me? But that Mu Qingqing, she … she just doesn’t know what’s good for her!!”

Hearing Li Yonggang’s words, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but laugh and said directly: “Those women are after your money and power, or they’re just afraid of your status. Don’t you realize that?”

Li Yonggang, hearing this, asked in response: “So, you’re saying you really understand women, huh?”

“Well, obviously! Do you think my wives Rem, Saber, Kotori Minami, and Rin Tohsaka are fake?”

Good grief, Rin Tohsaka!  

“That’s not the point. The point is, do you really understand Mu Qingqing?”

This string of imaginary wives left Li Yonggang momentarily stunned!

Bai Zhou was clearly taking advantage of the fact that Li Yonggang, as depicted in the novel, had never watched anime.

Hearing Bai Zhou’s question, Li Yonggang instinctively shook his head.

Bai Zhou lightly swirled the glass in his hand, looking at Li Yonggang with a playful smile and said: “Mu Qingqing is the only child of Mu Hai, the chairman of Mu Hai Group. But unfortunately for her, she’s a woman. To preserve her father’s business in the future, do you understand how much effort she has to put in?”

These were details about Mu Qingqing from the original novel.

Li Yonggang actually leaned forward, looking at Bai Zhou seriously and asked: “So, what should I do?”
