The Transmigrated Villain, and the Reborn Heroines - Chapter 117:

Chapter 117: The Two Female Leads Are About to Fight! I’m Just Fanning the Flames!

Liu Shihan had come looking for Zhang Mu, determined to protect the man she loved. She searched the yard repeatedly, carefully scanning the faces one by one—Hou Longtao, Ye Feng, and others from her past life. Zhang Mu had to be somewhere here. 

Anxiously pacing back and forth, she finally trusted her instincts. 

With years of experience in criminal investigation, she gave up on the crowded area and turned her focus to a blind spot behind the yard. Moving quickly, she discovered two figures. The moment she saw Zhang Mu’s familiar back, the fear and tension in her chest loosened, replaced by a rush of emotion that almost brought tears to her eyes.

Just as she was about to call his name and tell him she had come to protect him, she noticed something else—Zhang Mu wasn’t alone. 

There was a woman beside him. As soon as Liu Shihan recognized Shangguan Fengwu’s familiar face, her expression turned cold, and anger surged in her chest. 

As the deputy director, Liu Shihan naturally knew who Shangguan Fengwu was—the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family, cold and ruthless, known throughout the Capital’s underworld as a queen who ruled with cruelty.

Liu Shihan’s worry deepened. 

Zhang Mu was standing beside one of the most dangerous women in the Capital. She clearly remembered what had happened in her past life. Shangguan Fengwu had enabled Hou Longtao to help Ye Feng suppress Zhang Mu. 

That kind, gentle young man had suffered all because of Shangguan Fengwu’s indifference and silent approval. Liu Shihan hadn’t forgotten. In her past life, Shangguan Fengwu had harmed Zhang Mu countless times, just like she had arrested him countless times herself. 

She had always treated Zhang Mu as a troublemaker, working alongside Ye Feng to torment him again and again.

Now, Liu Shihan was certain—Shangguan Fengwu had shown up again to hurt Zhang Mu.

Without hesitation, she strode over to the two of them and stood face to face with Shangguan Fengwu. 

Her expression was cold, her tone sharp as she asked, “Shangguan Fengwu! Why are you here?”

Shangguan Fengwu narrowed her eyes and responded with a frosty face, “I’m here. What do you want, Officer Liu? Since when is it any of your business?”

Liu Shihan was clearly on guard, and so was Shangguan Fengwu. The moment she saw Liu Shihan’s dark green police uniform and her sharp, beautiful face, Shangguan Fengwu instantly recalled what this woman had done to Zhang Mu in their past life.

As one of the most famous police officers and deputy directors in the Capital, Liu Shihan had clashed with Shangguan Fengwu more than once. Both of them came from influential families among the Capital’s top ten, and their confrontations had always ended in stalemates. Neither could defeat the other. But Shangguan Fengwu remembered one thing very clearly—Liu Shihan had arrested Zhang Mu repeatedly in their previous life, and each time, she was unnecessarily harsh.

No matter how minor the offense, Liu Shihan always found a reason to throw Zhang Mu into jail. 

Wasn’t that just colluding with Ye Feng to suppress him? 

It was disgusting. 

Thinking about the pain Liu Shihan had brought upon Zhang Mu made Shangguan Fengwu grit her teeth in anger. She wished she could avenge him now—slap this so-called righteous policewoman in the face.

In her eyes, Liu Shihan had come here today to arrest Zhang Mu again. 

Just like before, she wanted to take him away and torture him at the police station. That was why Shangguan Fengwu had pulled Zhang Mu aside earlier. She didn’t want to hand him over to Liu Shihan. So now, she had no intention of showing Liu Shihan any kindness.

The two women, both powerful and proud, stood still, locked in a silent confrontation. Their eyes met—neither flinched. Both were trying to out-pressure the other, each determined to take Zhang Mu for herself. But how could the queen of the underworld possibly feel fear? And Liu Shihan, a seasoned officer who had faced countless battles, wasn’t backing down either.

Zhang Mu, watching all of this unfold, was secretly amazed. These two female leads were seriously intense. As expected of the eldest daughters from powerful families, their presence alone could freeze the air. On the outside, he showed a bit of worry and fear, the expression of a helpless playboy caught in the middle of a storm. But deep down, Zhang Mu was clapping in excitement.

‘Yes! Fight! Keep going! I’m just here to fan the flames!’

He really wanted to grab a bag of melon seeds and enjoy this drama. Shangguan Fengwu was probably acting for the sake of her family. As for Liu Shihan, she was clearly acting on behalf of the protagonist, Ye Feng. That’s why she kept arresting him, the villain. If everything followed the plotline, then Liu Shihan should win. She should beat Shangguan Fengwu, arrest him, throw him in jail, and help Ye Feng get his revenge. That way, Zhang Mu could play the villain, get slapped, and the plotline would move forward smoothly.

Although he was thrilled watching the tension unfold, neither of the two women knew what he was really thinking. But then, as they continued glaring at each other, they suddenly remembered something and shifted their attention back to Zhang Mu.

When they looked at him and saw his seemingly frightened expression, both women felt a jolt of guilt.

Shangguan Fengwu, the cold queen of the underworld, was filled with remorse. In her standoff with Liu Shihan, she had forgotten about the kind boy standing beside her. He must have been scared. This was her fault.

Liu Shihan felt the same. She had only wanted to intimidate Shangguan Fengwu, not frighten the man she loved. She hadn’t even thought about his feelings. How careless of her.

Out of concern for Zhang Mu, the two women simultaneously softened their expressions and withdrew their aggressive auras.

Zhang Mu was caught off guard. His face showed genuine surprise. ‘Wait… what? Why did you stop all of a sudden? Weren’t you just about to fight? That’s it? That’s all I get? I was still waiting for the big show!’

Seeing Zhang Mu’s disappointed expression, both Shangguan Fengwu and Liu Shihan felt another stab of guilt. 

They both wanted to reach out and comfort him, stroke his head gently, and tell him not to be afraid. But unfortunately… the other woman was still standing there.

Both of them had the same thought at that exact moment.

And then, they turned toward each other again, glaring with even more frustration. Their four bright, beautiful eyes locked once more, filled with anger. In their hearts, each thought the other was the one who didn’t deserve to exist.
