Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

“Ding, opening the mysterious treasure chest…”

“Congratulations to the host for receiving 10,000 villain points.”

Jiang Che nodded with satisfaction. The reward was decent, at least it wasn’t another useless pill.

After disposing of Lin Nan’s body, Jiang Che went straight back to the house to sleep. It was late, and he planned to visit his patient again tomorrow.

The next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Che drove his Bugatti towards Chu Tian’s apartment, intending to visit Ji Menglan. It had been a while since they last met, and he was curious about her condition. As a responsible doctor, he felt obligated to check on her.

In the Tianyuan community opposite Linjiang University, Jiang Che parked his car and walked towards Chu Tian’s apartment, where he remembered Ji Menglan stayed.

At this time, Ji Menglan wasn’t home; she had gone out for a mission. Jiang Che, not one for formalities, picked the lock and made himself comfortable on the living room sofa, waiting for her return.

Ji Menglan, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables, hummed a little tune as she returned to her apartment. Seeing the door ajar, she was puzzled. She clearly remembered locking it when she left. Could it be a burglary?

With this thought, Ji Menglan pushed the door open, ready to confront the intruder. But she was stunned to see Jiang Che sitting on her sofa.

What the heck? How did this bastard get here?

Reflexively, she called out, “Dad.”

Realizing what she said, she quickly covered her mouth, glaring at Jiang Che. She had been forced to call him that during her time at Crouching Dragon Villa, and it had become a reflex.

“It seems Miss Ji, your condition hasn’t improved much…” Jiang Che smiled playfully. It seemed his treatment was somewhat effective; at least she behaved better around him.

“What are you doing here?” Ji Menglan stepped back, her face cold. She didn’t trust Jiang Che’s intentions.

“Nothing much, just checking if your misogyny has improved, Miss Ji. As your doctor, I must be responsible for your well-being, right?” Jiang Che smiled lightly, as if he was genuinely concerned for her.

“I don’t need your responsibility! You can leave now!” Ji Menglan snorted, issuing an expulsion order. She feared that if he stayed, she might lose control and try to teach him a lesson, despite knowing she wasn’t his match.

“Miss Ji, there’s no need to explain. I know you’re still not cured. Let Daddy… cough, cough… let this genius doctor treat you again. After all, you are my first patient and hold a special place in my heart. I have a duty to cure you completely.” Jiang Che walked over to Ji Menglan, closed the door with his foot, and took out the medical equipment he had prepared.

“You… Don’t mess around…” Ji Menglan looked at Jiang Che with fear. His methods had truly scared her.

Just as she was about to flee, Jiang Che quickly struck an acupuncture point, rendering her immobile.

“You bastard! I’ll kill you!”

“Miss Ji, how do you feel? Do you still hate men a lot?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, looking at the disheveled Ji Menglan. The treatment didn’t seem as effective this time; she still glared at him with murderous intent. But Jiang Che understood that more than a month without treatment could lead to relapse.

“Are you done!” Ji Menglan gritted her teeth, not understanding why he kept targeting her. Was it because she tried to assassinate him? She had already paid the price for that!

“I won’t give up until you are fully stabilized…” Jiang Che said sternly, his face serious.

“Thank you!”

“No need to thank me, it’s my duty.” Jiang Che shook his head and continued.

“Come home with me now. It’s very inconvenient to treat you here.”

“What are you dreaming about!” Ji Menglan glared coldly at Jiang Che. Was he daydreaming? Go home with him? Not in a million years!

“Sorry, you have no choice…” Jiang Che smiled, grabbing Ji Menglan’s hand and pulling her outside.

“Let go…” Ji Menglan struggled, but Jiang Che’s grip was too strong, and her martial arts were sealed. She had no choice but to let him lead her outside.

Arriving downstairs, Jiang Che noticed Ji Menglan still struggling.

“Miss Ji, do you want to make a fool of yourself in public?” Jiang Che shook his medical equipment, the threat clear.

Ji Menglan’s face turned red with anger, but she stopped struggling. She couldn’t risk Jiang Che making a scene and so she let Jiang Che lead her to his Bugatti.

“Get in, and don’t try any tricks.” Jiang Che ordered, and Ji Menglan obediently got into the car. It wasn’t wise to oppose him now. She decided to follow him for now and look for a chance to escape later.

“Ding, I detected the presence of the protagonist nearby. The system has listed the protagonist’s information for the host. Would the host like to check?”

As Jiang Che was about to get into the car, a system prompt sounded in his mind, “Protagonist information? Check…” Jiang Che thought it must be Chu Tian. While communicating with the system, he looked around, searching for Chu Tian.

Soon, he spotted a plain-looking young man. Jiang Che was certain it was Chu Tian. Don’t ask how; the protagonist just has that aura.

Protagonist: Chu Tian

Cultivation: Mid-stage Transformation

Identity: The number one killer on the killer list

Luck Points: 12,000

Skills: Advanced assassination, advanced firearms proficiency…

Only 12,000 luck? That’s lower than Yang Wei’s. But Jiang Che quickly realized why. Yang Wei’s plot involved him taking on the underworld, while Chu Tian stayed in Jiangzhou.

Sensing someone watching him, Chu Tian turned and saw Jiang Che smiling at him. Though they had never met, Chu Tian felt uneasy. It wasn’t until Jiang Che drove away that Chu Tian’s unease dissipated.

“What’s wrong with me…” Chu Tian muttered, trying to shake off the feeling. He took out a small flyer and started posting it around the streets.

[Cheap rent: 200 yuan a month, free water and electricity, for college students only.].

Looking at the flyer, Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction. Although it said only college students, he would block any male applicants. This was just to avoid suspicion. If he advertised for female students only, it would be too obvious.

After posting all the flyers, Chu Tian hummed a little tune and walked back to his apartment, looking forward to meeting the first beauty to respond.
