The Villain’s Wishes Backfire and the Protagonists Take the Hit - Chapter 4:

Chapter 4:

[Please state your wish~]

A system notification echoed in Chen Zhuo’s mind, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately… the system was still there.

“My wish is… for my body to fall into a deep sleep for one hour, while everything remains completely normal!”

[Ding! The system has detected that this wish is within the achievable range. Executing now.]

[Wish fulfillment requires some time. Please wait.]

[Your opponent, the protagonist Ye Fei, will receive a fivefold critical reward!]

Chen Zhuo froze.

What was going on? The system in this life seemed different from the one in his previous life.

“You mean… when I make a wish, the Son of Destiny can receive a critical amplification of it?”

[Yes!]

[The system will automatically detect your opponent protagonist at the time of the wish. That protagonist will randomly receive a critical amplification reward of your wish. If no opponent protagonist is detected, one will be randomly selected from all appearing protagonists!]

[Additionally, if you cause your opponent protagonist to feel anger or frustration, the system will reduce the cooldown of your next wish based on the intensity of their emotions!]

Before Chen Zhuo could respond, his vision suddenly went black, and he fainted.

Using the last bit of strength to preserve a sliver of consciousness, he leaned and fell toward Jiang Qiuli.

Jiang Qiuli was still standing there, waiting for him to speak. Just as she slightly raised her head, she saw a dark figure collapsing toward her.

Instinctively, she reached out and caught him.

“Ouch… so heavy!”

When a person loses consciousness, their body no longer exerts any force.

Their full weight becomes dead weight.

So lifting an unconscious person is much harder than supporting someone awake.

With her long-term malnourished body, Jiang Qiuli couldn’t withstand Chen Zhuo’s weight at all.

Failing to hold him steady, she fell straight to the ground.

Chen Zhuo collapsed onto her.

Only then, sitting on the ground, did Jiang Qiuli realize that the one lying on her was Chen Zhuo.

A trace of anger rose in her.

“Y-you pervert!”

But this time, there was no response.

Chen Zhuo lay across her lap, eyes closed, completely motionless.

“What’s wrong with you?!”

Sensing something was off, Jiang Qiuli’s speech quickened.

Still no reaction.

“Hey, wake up! Wake up! Don’t scare me like this!”

Now she was completely panicking.

Why was she so unlucky today?!

She shook his arm repeatedly, but there was still no response.

“Help! Help!”

She shouted loudly.

The employees outside heard her and rushed in.

“What happened? How did you make the boss faint?!”

The moment they entered the surveillance room and saw the scene, they immediately labeled Jiang Qiuli as the suspect.

After all, Chen Zhuo was a healthy third-year student. He had been fine just moments ago… how could he suddenly faint?

“I-it wasn’t me! He fell by himself! He fell by himself!”

Jiang Qiuli repeated it twice, her eyes already filling with tears.

Her mother was still in the hospital waiting for her care… and now this man had collapsed too.

She was finished.

“Now isn’t the time to assign blame. Call an ambulance!” another employee instructed.

“Do you know first aid?”

First aid?

Jiang Qiuli had actually learned it before and even got certified.

But after so many years, she had forgotten most of it.

She desperately tried to recall what she knew.

“Mouth-to-mouth… right, mouth-to-mouth.”

Remembering something, she took a deep breath in urgency and pressed her lips against Chen Zhuo’s.

Meanwhile…

On a street not far from a police station, the protagonist of Top-Tier Second Generation in the City, the Son of Destiny Ye Fei, was hurrying over with two police officers.

He had also been reborn.

Learning from the lessons of his previous life, he decided that this time he would not act rashly. He would use intelligence instead.

He would have the police arrest this villain who was threatening the female lead!

“Is everything you said true?” the two officers asked skeptically as they followed behind him.

“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely true. I’m a university student from Zhongjiang University. Why would I make a false report?” Ye Fei replied, quickening his pace.

“Hurry up. If we’re late, that perverted supermarket owner Chen Zhuo will succeed.”

Thinking about Chen Zhuo and Jiang Qiuli being alone together right now made him uneasy.

His pace grew faster and faster until he broke into a jog.

Seeing how anxious he was, the two officers didn’t dare slack off. They quickened their steps while reminding him, “Be careful. This is the back street of the university. There are many alleys and complex traffic. Don’t get hit!”

“It’s fine! I’m familiar with this place—”

Before Ye Fei could finish speaking, a wave of dizziness suddenly struck his mind.

Before he could even realize what was happening, he lost consciousness completely.

His body went limp without any warning.

And where he stood happened to be a fork in the road.

A small pickup truck carrying goods was passing through at that moment. The driver tried to brake, but it was too late.

Although the vehicle slowed down, it still struck Ye Fei.

The impact sent him flying more than 3 meters away.

“…”

“Quick! Call an ambulance!”

The two officers exchanged glances.

They hadn’t expected their worries to come true so quickly.

“You stay here and wait for the traffic police. I’ll go to the Qingning Supermarket.”

After a brief instruction, they split up.

Zhongjiang First Hospital had a branch right next to Zhongjiang University.

So the ambulance arrived at the entrance of Qingning Supermarket very quickly.

Medical personnel jumped out, carrying a stretcher.

“There’s another call. Someone had a traffic accident on the back street!” the ambulance driver shouted.

“Ignore it. Finish the task assigned to us first. Someone else will handle that side.”

When the medical staff entered Qingning Supermarket…

Jiang Qiuli was still performing mouth-to-mouth on Chen Zhuo.

Her lips were almost swollen from doing it.

“Make way, make way.”

Three medical staff squeezed in and began basic checks with their instruments.

“Hm? Why are all the readings normal? Is the equipment broken?”

They looked at each other in confusion.

Then they turned to Jiang Qiuli.

“Did he show any symptoms just now?”

Jiang Qiuli shook her head.

“N-no. He just fainted.”

“If he just fainted, why are you doing mouth-to-mouth?”

“Um… isn’t first aid supposed to be mouth-to-mouth…”

Jiang Qiuli lowered her head and answered weakly.

That was how she remembered it.

“Well… doing mouth-to-mouth isn’t harmful. Did you perform CPR?”

Jiang Qiuli shook her head vigorously.

“No.”

“Good. Anyway, we’ll take him to the hospital first for a more thorough examination.”

After speaking, the lead doctor looked at the others and asked, “Who’s coming with us? We need someone to sign and pay.”

Hearing that someone needed to sign and pay, the two employees immediately pointed at Jiang Qiuli and said in unison, “She was with our boss when he fainted.”
