Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 38 The Rumors of That School Bully (23)

The next morning, upon waking, she felt unwell all over and was filled with annoyance. Recalling her conversation with Jiang Zhiyi the previous night, she suddenly realized she had been tricked. Enraged, she slapped him hard.

Although Jiang Zhiyi was a little dazed after being woken up, he still looked satisfied and radiant.

Seeing his own haggard appearance only fueled Shi Qi's anger. Yesterday, to appease this scoundrel, he hadn't even limited the number of times he'd done it…

Thinking this, he became even angrier and slapped him again without saying a word.

Shi Zheng discovered that his son seemed to be a business genius, because Shi Qi turned Ye's sizable listed company into an empty shell in just over a month, and without even the core members of Ye's discovering it.

It can be said that the Ye family is about to fall apart at Shi Qi's command.

At Ye Jiaojiao's birthday banquet, Shi Qi and Jiang Zhiyi attended together. Because the Ye family and the Shi family have always been close, and to give face to Shi Zheng, many business tycoons also came to the banquet.

Jiang Zhiyi left the others who came to chat with him to engage in perfunctory conversation, while Shi Qi, holding a wine glass, came to the birthday celebrant.

When Shi Qi walked over, Ye Jiaojiao's polite smile froze on her face. Her classmates, who had been invited, also silently stepped aside.

Honestly, even if Shi Qi becomes a good student now, who would dare to mess with this old man?

"Happy birthday." Shi Qi raised his glass to her and took a small sip.

Ye Jiaojiao forced a smile and thanked them, then took a sip of her own champagne.

Uncharacteristically, he chatted with her casually, as if they were friends, saying, "I heard you're planning to study abroad?"

Ye Jiaojiao nodded hesitantly, a strange sense of unease creeping into her heart.

"That's good news... By the way, I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll like it." With a meaningful smile, Shi Qi turned and left.

Ye Jiaojiao's unease reached its peak after hearing these words. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. What exactly was Shi Qi up to?

Sure enough, just as Mr. Ye was about to give his speech, she received a phone call. After hanging up, the joy on his face vanished instantly, turning deathly pale.

Ye's mother asked softly, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Ye's father shook his head blankly, but couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing that her father seemed off, Ye Jiaojiao asked worriedly, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Father Ye looked utterly desperate, and after a long pause, he managed to utter a few words through gritted teeth: "The company...is bankrupt..."

Ye Jiaojiao and her mother widened their eyes almost simultaneously. Ye Jiaojiao realized what was happening and looked sharply in Shi Qi's direction.

Shi Qi, standing in the crowd, had a malicious look on his face. She could even clearly read three words from his lips: "Surprised?"

It was him who did it! She stared intently at Shi Qi, her anger reaching its peak at that moment.

Ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, Ye Jiaojiao rushed up to Shi Qi without any regard for her image, gritting her teeth and saying, "Why did you have to be so ruthless?!"

Ye Jiaojiao's expression was ferocious as she gripped Shi Qi's arms tightly with both hands: "I admit I wronged you before, but if you have a problem, come at me! What right do you have to do this!"

Jiang Zhiyi frowned and forcefully pried open the hand that was tightly gripping Shi Qi.

In stark contrast to her frantic state, Shi Qi remained calm, gently smoothing out the wrinkles in his suit.

"Some people complain every day that their parents make them try to please me, but now they're putting on a show of filial piety?" Shi Qi's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Upon hearing this, the guests began to point and whisper among themselves: "What's wrong with this little girl from the Ye family? Why did she suddenly come over and grab the young master of the Shi family?"

"I was standing close by just now and I vaguely heard something about bankruptcy, and it seemed to be related to Young Master Shi."

"That little girl from the Ye family is really not composed; she doesn't even know how to keep such things to herself."

"If the young master of the Shi family did this, does it mean that the relationship between the two families has broken down?"

Actually, the guests hadn't heard what the family said clearly, but Ye Jiaojiao's current actions were enough for them to guess most of what was going on.

Shi Qi said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't you know very well? I'm a 'madman.' And I know everything you and Jiang Weiyuan did before."

Ye Jiaojiao felt surrounded by a swarm of whispers, like flies buzzing around her. A wave of dizziness washed over her. She clutched her head, shaking it frantically, muttering, "You can't do this to me...you can't do this to me...you devil..."

At this moment, a woman's exclamation drew everyone's attention again: "Husband! What's wrong with you?" Ye's mother was supporting Ye's father, who had fainted due to high blood pressure and was unable to cope with the emotional stress.

Hearing her mother's voice, Ye Jiaojiao slowly snapped out of her madness.

She glared at Shi Qi with a face full of resentment, her eyes seeming to rip a piece of flesh from him: "I'll make you pay!"

Shi Qi looked down at her and said, "I'll be waiting."

"Fate Value -15. Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest! Do you wish to stay in this world and continue with the side quests?"

Shi Qi snapped his fingers in front of Jiang Zhiyi: "Let's go, the show's over." The two turned around, walked side by side, and then directly selected "Yes".

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

They had originally planned to go home together, but the newly elected student council president, Jiang, was a very busy person. He had just arrived at the school gate when he received a phone call and was called back. Helpless, Shi Qi had to go home by himself.

As soon as he arrived at a secluded place, Shi Qi sensed something was amiss, as if someone was watching him.

007: "Host, there are people following you! And more than one."

indivual!"

Shi Qi turned his head slightly and glanced at them out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, there were several men in black who looked like they had ill intentions following behind.

"How many people are behind us?" he asked 007 as he quickened his pace.

007: "At least 10." He didn't know if there might be a few more hidden somewhere.

The men in black behind him realized they had been discovered, so they approached him more blatantly and quickly.

Shi Qi understood perfectly that he was outnumbered and could not fight them head-on. His only option was to run and see if he could shake them off.

He ran ahead with all his might, and the people behind him followed closely. Shi Qi thought he was fast enough, but the fact that the people behind him could keep up so closely showed that they were all a group of rigorously trained guys.

He had overestimated the villain's luck, leading his group through a maze of sparsely populated areas, eventually ending up in a dead end after the last turn. The sound of hurried footsteps drew closer...
