Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 101: Lin Xiyan Fires Ye Tian, Jiang Che Frames Ye Tian

Ye Tian got out of the taxi and hurried into the restaurant. Spotting Jiang Che and Lin Xiyan ahead, he followed them upstairs without hesitation.

As he attempted to enter a private room on the second floor, Ah Long, standing guard at the door, blocked his way.

“Kid, our young master is having dinner with Miss Lin. You can’t go in,” Ah Long said sternly, glancing at Ye Tian.

“Let me in…” Ye Tian frowned, showing no fear of Ah Long’s demeanor, and retorted sharply. He was not someone to be easily trifled with.

“Get lost!” Ah Long scoffed dismissively at Ye Tian, expressing his contempt.

“Haha…” Ye Tian laughed coldly, gathering his inner strength in his palm and striking at Ah Long without hesitation.

“Bang!” Ah Long was sent flying, crashing heavily at the end of the corridor. Struggling to get up, he shouted furiously, “What are you waiting for? Get him!”

Several bodyguards who had been standing at the door snapped into action and charged at Ye Tian, but he quickly and effortlessly knocked them to the ground.

“That’s it? And you thought you could stop me?” Ye Tian looked at the groaning bodyguards on the floor with a mocking expression.

Taking advantage of Ye Tian’s distraction, Ah Long charged at him from behind and kicked hard towards Ye Tian’s back. However, Ye Tian, as if anticipating the attack, turned around and caught Ah Long’s ankle, throwing him again.

“Overconfident fool…” Ye Tian sneered.

“Well, aren’t you brave,” Jiang Che said as he opened the door of the private room and stepped out, looking down at Ye Tian with disdain. He had instructed Ah Long to block the door as a trap for Ye Tian, not expecting him to fall for it so easily.

“What exactly are you trying to do, Ye Tian?” Lin Xiyan asked, angered by the screams of the bodyguards.

“They wouldn’t let me in. I was worried you might be in danger inside,” Ye Tian replied calmly, facing Lin Xiyan’s scrutinizing gaze without flinching. Despite having assaulted people, he believed Lin Xiyan would understand his intentions.

“What danger could I possibly be in?” Lin Xiyan asked incredulously, clearly annoyed by Ye Tian’s excuse.

Lin Xiyan couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Tian’s words, thinking to herself, “Can’t this scoundrel just wish me well?” Even though Jiang Che isn’t a good person, he wouldn’t cause trouble in public places. “Why is this guy so despicable?”

“From tomorrow, you don’t need to come to work at our Lin Corporation. I’ll inform Grandpa,” Lin Xiyan said with disgust, looking at Ye Tian. She had been worrying about how to dismiss him, but he had just given her the perfect opportunity.

“We received a report of someone causing a disturbance.” Just as Ye Tian was about to say something, a group of police officers arrived, led by a man with a square face, looking to be in his forties.

“Officer, it’s this man causing trouble,” Jiang Che pointed at Ye Tian.

“Did you assault these men?” the officer asked Ye Tian, surveying the injured bodyguards and Ye Tian’s demeanor.

“I…” Ye Tian started to speak but hesitated, aware that the surveillance footage would reveal his initial aggression. “It’s you! You set this up!” Realizing he had been trapped, Ye Tian accused Jiang Che.

“Officer, he’s slandering me. I want to file a defamation charge against him,” Jiang Che responded casually.

“Take him away,” the officer ordered, and the police handcuffed Ye Tian and led him downstairs.

Ye Tian didn’t resist, knowing he had fallen into Jiang Che’s trap but could only accept his bad luck. In Jiuzhou Country, resisting arrest was a serious offense. Unless he didn’t want to stay in the country, he had no choice.

As Ye Tian was being led away by the police, he glared at Jiang Che with a venomous look, harboring murderous intent.

He couldn’t understand why Jiang Che would frame him just after returning to the country. He had no recollection of having Jiang Che as an enemy in Jiuzhou Country.

Jiang Che looked at Ye Tian with disdain and said something in a slang, clearly calling him a “fool.”

Ye Tian clenched his fists, his face turning ashen with rage, his heart filled with a deadly determination against Jiang Che.

“Are you alright?” Jiang Che approached Ah Long, who looked pale, and asked with a frown.

“I’m fine, just some internal injuries. I’ll recover after some rest,” Ah Long replied, shaking his head. Ye Tian hadn’t used his full strength in the fight, so Ah Long wasn’t seriously hurt.

“Young Master, I’m sorry for losing face,” Ah Long apologized, understanding why Jiang Che had been monitoring Ye Tian from the start – he was an enemy of their young master.

“Jiang Che, I’m sorry. I didn’t manage Ye Tian well, leading to your people getting hurt,” Lin Xiyan said apologetically, worried Jiang Che might think she had intentionally brought Ye Tian to cause trouble.

Jiang Che patted Lin Xiyan’s head and assured her, “It’s not your fault.” He understood Lin Xiyan’s feelings and wouldn’t blame her.

“I’ll take them to the hospital to get checked. You can go home if you’re okay,” Jiang Che said, instructing the less injured bodyguards to carry the more seriously wounded ones downstairs.

As Jiang Che left, Lin Xiyan immediately called Lin Canghai. “Grandpa, I’ve fired Ye Tian! You don’t need to plead for him. I don’t need such a dangerous person around me!”

…

“Ding, Host has successfully schemed against Ye Tian, causing a rift between him and Lin Xiyan, altering the storyline, reward: 20,000 villain points…”

“Ding, Ye Tian’s luck -1000, reward Host 2000 villain points.”

Jiang Che had just settled into his Ferrari when he heard the system’s notification sound in his mind. A smirk played on his lips as he drove towards the Linjiang City First People’s Hospital.

At Linjiang City First People’s Hospital, Jiang Che approached a doctor in a white coat. “Doctor, how is my brother doing?”

“Young master Jiang… He really doesn’t have any serious issues, just some superficial injuries. He’ll be fine with some rest,” the doctor replied, looking at the medical report.

The patient Jiang Che brought in showed completely normal health indicators with no signs of illness.

“How is that possible? Doctor, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?” Jiang Che said earnestly. He then gave Ah Long a sign, and Ah Long immediately feigned a critical condition.

Seeing the act put up by Jiang Che and Ah Long, the doctor quickly understood what they were after. He was experienced enough to catch Jiang Che’s intentions.

The doctor nodded gravely and said, “This patient’s condition is quite serious. He might have a concussion or even a cerebral thrombosis. We recommend hospitalization for observation for a month.”

“Then please prepare a medical report for me,” Jiang Che said with a slight smile.

After obtaining the medical report, Jiang Che and Ah Long left the hospital contentedly. “Young Master, why did we do this?” Ah Long asked, still puzzled about the purpose of the medical report.

“If we want Ye Tian to stay in detention for a while, this report is essential,” Jiang Che explained. Ah Long nodded thoughtfully.

“Make sure to act convincingly when we get to the detention center,” Jiang Che instructed.

In the detention center, Ye Tian was being processed.

“Name?”

“Ye Tian.”

“Gender?”

“Male.”

“Age?”

“Twenty-five…”

“Where is your registered residence?”

The police officer checked the system for Ye Tian’s background but found no matching information.

“I’m originally from Yunzhou,” Ye Tian replied after a moment of thought, having had all his records destroyed before going abroad.

“You are detained for suspicion of causing a disturbance. Wait here for further questioning,” the officer said, leaving the room.

Ye Tian’s ultimate fate would depend on the statement from the victim. The officer found Ye Tian, the kind of person who flouted laws and regulations, particularly disagreeable.
