I’m the Villain’s Lackey, and I Started by Forcibly Kissing the Villain’s Sister - Chapter 48:

Chapter 48: Disgust from the Cold-Faced Police Beauty! Snow in Parts of Ye Xuan’s Life

However, Ye Xuan had someone supporting him behind the scenes.

Not long after he entered the station, he was bailed out by Feng Yongkang.

Yet, in this short time, he had already suffered some backlash—there was snow in certain areas of his life.

After all, the Feng family was one of the Eight Great Families, almost as powerful as the Bai family. Bailing one person out was an easy task. Besides, Ye Xuan’s offense wasn’t that serious; it was just a case of gang fighting.

And since the hooligans outnumbered him, it was easy to get him released.

Moreover, Ye Xuan was exuding an arrogant air.

As he walked out of the detention center, he said to a subordinate in the Investigation Bureau, “The next time we meet, I will definitely make you my woman!”

The Dragon King’s confident crooked smile almost reached the top of his head.

The intern investigator was dumbfounded… Damn! Was that even a normal human expression? Trying to imitate Ye Xuan’s crooked smile, the intern nearly twisted his jaw and neck… Impossible to replicate…

As soon as Ye Xuan left, the intern investigator rushed to Bing Feng to deliver the message, “Captain Bing Feng, that Ye Xuan said that next time he sees you, he will definitely make you his woman…”

“Boom!!”

Upon hearing this, Bing Feng flew into a rage, punching the wall and cracking it.

As an investigator in Return to the City: Rise of the Dragon King, her combat strength was terrifying.

She stood up and crushed the half-full bottle of Sprite in her hand, furious, “Is that so? That damned idiot thinks I would become a fool’s woman?”

At this moment, her feelings toward Ye Xuan weren’t just disgust; they carried a deep hatred. The intern investigator was so frightened he froze in place, unsure what to do… He thought, did I deliver something I shouldn’t have? It was rare to see Captain Bing Feng this furious…

…

Meanwhile, having just left the station, Ye Xuan tried calling Yan Ruyue, but her phone was unreachable.

The surveillance device he had given her also seemed to have malfunctioned for some reason. Could she have betrayed him?

Ye Xuan was terrified by the thought but quickly calmed himself.

Only he and another core member of the Dragon King’s Hall knew about her brother’s situation, so it shouldn’t have leaked.

He quickly dismissed his suspicions.

What Ye Xuan didn’t know was that Yan Ruyue had already betrayed him and become Su Chen’s Secretary Miss and maid.

When Ye Xuan called her just now, she went to ask Su Chen if she should answer.

Su Chen said it was fine to answer and gave her a few instructions.

She then quickly called back, and the call was soon connected.

“Dragon King!” Yan Ruyue answered.

“Yan Ruyue, what’s going on? Why isn’t the surveillance equipment working?” Ye Xuan immediately questioned her, thinking, isn’t it simple for an assassin to spy on the Bai family? It’s just surveillance, not an assassination.

“Sorry, Dragon King, it’s my fault. I accidentally dropped the device, and it broke.”

“You… Sigh, did you find any information on the Bai family?”

“Yes…” Yan Ruyue then relayed some useless information about the Bai family to Ye Xuan—details provided by Su Chen.

For example, Bai Zihang has a sister named Bai Gucheng, what foods they like, what style of clothes they prefer, and even what time Bai Zihang habitually uses the restroom… All this information could be easily found on Baidu.

“=_=”

Ye Xuan was speechless. What kind of investigation was this?

“Forget it, come back for now. I have another mission for you.” Ye Xuan hung up the call.

“He told me to come back. What should I do, Master?” Yan Ruyue’s way of addressing Su Chen had unknowingly changed from “Young Master” to “Master.”

“You can go back, but if there’s any danger, you must escape immediately.” Su Chen nodded. A reverse undercover mission might even yield unexpected gains.

Besides, early in the plot, Ye Xuan wasn’t much of a threat to Yan Ruyue.

After all, she was ranked sixth on the Earth Fiend List, nicknamed the Red Spider Queen! Treating her as an ordinary maid would be a grave mistake.

As for Ye Xuan, although he hadn’t obtained any useful intel, he still felt that Bai Zihang was targeting him!

Whether it was the Antique Street incident or the Chaoyang Road land dispute, Ye Xuan believed Bai Zihang was working against him!

Since Ye Xuan hadn’t made any money, he blamed Bai Zihang for everything. Villains are meant to be scapegoats anyway. Regardless of reason, it was always the villain’s fault. As for protagonists? They are pure and upright.

In novels, there are countless double standards. For example, if a villain holds a grudge, it’s called petty and vengeful.

If the protagonist holds a grudge, it’s “thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank, revenge is a gentleman’s duty.”

If a villain is a womanizer with a harem, it’s called lecherous and depraved. If the protagonist does the same, he’s romantic and charming, winning the hearts of countless women. Simply put, it’s blatant double standards.

“This grudge, I will remember it!” Ye Xuan hated Bai Zihang to the bone!

However, Ye Xuan suddenly smiled crookedly. Fortunately, he had some comfort. He opened his phone and, sure enough, received a message from “Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves.”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Baby, what are you doing? Are you thinking about me?”

[YeYe Misses You]: “Hmph, of course I am. I think about you every day!”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “You’re so cheesy, but… I like it! Hehe!”

[YeYe Misses You]: “;;(∩′～`∩);; Baby, I got bullied today, I’m really upset. Can you give me a kiss?”

Ye Xuan was referring to being caught and taken to the station.

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Ah? Who dared to bully my baby? I’ll go settle the score!”

[YeYe Misses You]: “No need, just a small matter. It’s already taken care of.”

Ye Xuan smiled wickedly, with a mocking and indifferent air, “Besides, I’m a very capable person, don’t underestimate me!”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Tsk tsk, my baby is awesome!”

Bai Zihang sent a thumbs-up emoji, thinking “Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves” was being bullied by her roommates or teachers. But since it was resolved, there was no big problem.

[YeYe Misses You]: “Baby, what’s the name of that ride in the amusement park, the one you can sit on and it plays music?”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Shy 😊 shy 😊”

[YeYe Misses You]: “Wuwu, baby, I got a cut on my hand.”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “What?! Who dared to hurt my baby?”

Bai Zihang instinctively thought it was the roommates again—he was sure he was right!

[YeYe Misses You]: “No, it’s because… if you get a cut too, then we’ll be a pair.”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Ah! Damn! Darling, you’re way too good at flirting! I can’t help but want to meet you in person.”

[YeYe Misses You]: “(′???`) I want to meet you too, but something came up, so I can’t for now.”

Ye Xuan had plans to attend Lin Xue’er’s Birthday Banquet, organized by the Lin family, one of Jiangcheng’s Eight Great Families. He would be going with Feng Yongkang. If he could establish a connection with Lin Xue’er, it would be a big leap forward!

Ye Xuan was preparing to make a big impression at the Birthday Banquet and amaze everyone.

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Ah, what a coincidence, I have something to do too.”

Bai Zihang paused. He was also preparing to attend Lin Xue’er’s Birthday Banquet. As a loyal simp for Lin Xue’er, he wouldn’t miss it.

[YeYe Misses You]: “Yeah, let’s meet up after this busy period!”

[Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves]: “Alright, I’m really looking forward to meeting you…”

Thus, they ended their conversation.

…

Meanwhile, due to the events of last night, Su Chen received two system rewards.

[High-Grade Beauty Pill, four pieces!]

[Low-Grade Beauty Pill Recipe, one book!]

[Effect of the Beauty Pill: Simply put, it beautifies and cares for the skin.]

[In detail: The skin’s epidermis is like a mattress. On the face, it’s only 0.02 millimeters thick, composed of keratinocytes—cells that synthesize keratin. These cells regenerate through basal stem cells, moving upwards and shedding off in about a month. The shed skin flakes account for about 80% of the dust in our homes.]

[During the skin’s metabolic process, melanocytes produce melanin to protect against UV radiation, forming a barrier. This is why the skin darkens after sun exposure—it’s a self-protection mechanism. Beneath the epidermis is the dermis, thick and springy, made up of 95% collagen fibers providing tensile strength, and 5% elastic fibers giving the skin elasticity.]

[If collagen and elastic fibers make the skin ‘mattress’ elastic and durable, the dermis also contains glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giant molecules that absorb water, forming a gel-like substance. This gives the dermis great compression resistance and provides pathways for nutrients to diffuse from capillaries to nourish cells.]

[Creams form a barrier on the surface to prevent… Stop!]
