I Became the Henchman of a Novel’s Villain

Zhou Siyun’s pupils visibly widened. Her eye twitched unnaturally. She even bit her molars slightly. However, she quickly suppressed it, forcefully adjusting her expression management system, and then squeezed out an innocent smile, saying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Bai Zhou looked at Zhou Siyun, who was being stubborn, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

“Alright, then let me help you remember! When you were seven, your mother passed away, and the mistress your father had been raising outside took her place, bringing along a brother three years older than you! At that time, your father and stepmother thought you were too young to understand, but no one knew that you’ve held a grudge over that incident to this very day, and …”

This plot … was just TM*.

(*Too melodramatic)

Even Bai Zhou felt embarrassed to tell anyone. But there was no other way; this is exactly what happened in the original novel. And right now, it was happening in this world as well.

When Zhou Siyun was fourteen, she secretly started learning about finance. Because by then, she already knew that her father’s assets would never fall into her hands, so she had to start planning for her own future! Additionally, she became obsessed with detective novels, even secretly hiring a private investigator to investigate the true cause of her mother’s death.

She believed that her biological mother’s death was absolutely connected to her stepmother!!

Four years ago, when Zhou Siyun had just started university, she asked her father for a seemingly insignificant position within the company as an internship. But behind the scenes, Zhou Siyun was slowly building her own power. At the same time, she often used various clever methods to transfer funds from her father’s business, going through multiple channels, until they ended up in her hands.

She was playing a long game! She wanted to ensure that when her father officially handed over the business to her half-brother, what he would get would be nothing but an empty shell!

“… Zhou Yuntian is actually pretty pitiful, being plotted against by both his son and daughter. Sigh … I wonder how he would react if he knew about all of this!”

All of this was Zhou Siyun’s plan. But Bai Zhou knew something else. That is, all of Zhou Siyun’s little moves were being watched by both Zhou Yuntian and Zhou Sicheng!

To be honest, Zhou Yuntian still pampered his daughter a lot, but Zhou Sicheng was different! If it weren’t for Zhou Yuntian holding him back, Zhou Sicheng would have dealt with this sister long ago!

That was also why Zhou Yuntian was in such a hurry to arrange a marriage for her with Li Tai’s son as soon as she graduated from university! He was giving his daughter a way out!

Of course, Bai Zhou would never tell Zhou Siyun this, at least not now.

Bai Zhou’s words ended here.

Zhou Siyun had completely fallen silent. She stared straight at Bai Zhou. Her expression shifted from initial anger to nervousness, then to shock, and finally to a blank expression.

Only the Heavens knew what kind of turmoil she was experiencing in her heart. Indeed, everything Bai Zhou had said was entirely true! Every single thing was something she had either done or was in the process of doing.

“How does he know all of this?!”

This was the only question in Zhou Siyun’s mind at that moment. But she had no intention of asking it aloud.

Because dead men can’t answer questions!

Yes, originally, Zhou Siyun had planned to use someone else to do her dirty work by revealing what she knew about Ye Qiantong and Bai Zhou to Li Tai and having him take care of the problem!

But now, Zhou Siyun decided that there was no way she could let this man walk out of this hotel alive!! Thinking this, she squeezed out a casual smile again and said to Bai Zhou, “Bai Zhou, I must say, your story telling skills are impressive!”

Although her words were nonchalant, her body had already slightly leaned backward. Her hands, hidden behind her back, were reaching for the purse she had placed on the chair earlier.

This slight backward tilt did not escape Bai Zhou’s eyes. Of course, he knew what Zhou Siyun was trying to do.

But Bai Zhou, with a playful smile on his lips, said, “Miss Zhou, did you forget that you’re not wearing pants?”

That’s right!!

Zhou Siyun had wet herself in fright earlier, and she had only thrown on a bathrobe before coming out. The bathrobe was open in the front! With her current posture, everything was completely exposed.

Upon hearing Bai Zhou’s words, Zhou Siyun’s body trembled slightly! She bit down on her molars again, a flash of shame and anger crossing her eyes. But right now, there was something more important to take care of, so she forced herself to stay calm and, with a smile, said, “After all, you’ve already seen it earlier. What’s there to be afraid of?”

However, in her heart, she silently added, “After I kill you, I’ll make sure to gouge out your perverted eyes!!”

Finally, her hand reached her purse. A look of joy flickered in her eyes. But just then, her eyes instantly froze! And then, a deep despair washed over her emotions.

She saw Bai Zhou, calmly and slowly, pull out a small silver object from inside his jacket. It was only half the size of a palm! But it was a finely crafted revolver! That gun was exactly what Zhou Siyun had been searching for in her purse!

Naturally, Bai Zhou, who was highly familiar with the original plot, had eliminated any threat to himself at the earliest opportunity.

As he toyed with the gun, Bai Zhou smiled and said, “Miss Zhou, girls shouldn’t carry such dangerous items with them.”
