After the Fake Young Master Ran Away with His Child, the Villain Went Crazy - Chapter 1

Jing Ruan woke from a nightmare again.

The first thing he did after waking was check where he was. When he saw the colored glass lamp at the head of the bed, he let out a breath of relief and raised a hand to pat his chest.

It had already been three months since Jing Ruan transmigrated into the world of this book.

He had suffered through too many bitter days before, so Jing Ruan was especially afraid of returning to the real world. His real life and his current life were simply the difference between heaven and hell.

“Steward, Steward.”

Wearing silk pajamas, Jing Ruan climbed out of bed and hurried toward the bedroom door. The very first person Jing Ruan had seen after transmigrating here was the steward.

The original owner’s parents had died early, and the steward was the one who had raised him since childhood. He was both a steward and family.

Using the excuse that he had accidentally hit his head, Jing Ruan said he could not remember many things. So the steward took him to the hospital for a checkup. After the examination showed nothing was wrong, he brought Jing Ruan home and told him many things.

Only then did Jing Ruan learn that he had transmigrated into the body of a young master. Not only did he have no worries about food and clothing, he also had a lot of money. When he learned this, Jing Ruan was overjoyed.

Steward Zhou was instructing the servants to set out breakfast. The morning meal was very sumptuous.

When he saw the young master wearing shoes and running downstairs with quick little taps, like a fledgling that could not bear to be away from its mother for long, anxiously searching for his sense of security, Steward Zhou’s gaze softened.

“Steward, I keep having nightmares at night. Can you find a doctor to take a look at me?”

Jing Ruan ran up to Steward Zhou and tugged at his sleeve, acting spoiled.

Steward Zhou looked at the thin young master before him. His lips were red, his teeth white, and his eyes bright and innocent. The pajamas on him were obviously slightly too large, revealing his fair collarbones.

“Of course, Young Master.”

Steward Zhou raised a hand to adjust his glasses, smiling kindly.

Beside them, the servant arranging the meal lowered their head very deeply after hearing this exchange. The hand holding the plate could not help trembling slightly, but the movement was so faint that no one noticed.

“Young Master, go wash up first. Breakfast is almost ready.”

Steward Zhou coaxed him back upstairs.

Jing Ruan obediently went upstairs to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Steward Zhou turned back to glance at the servants working in the hall. Seeing that all of them were working seriously, without a single person slacking off, he walked outside.

As Jing Ruan brushed his teeth, he stared at the mirror.

The person in the mirror was not unfamiliar. It was still Jing Ruan’s own appearance. After Jing Ruan finished washing up, he took an unfamiliar bottle of fragrant cream from the cabinet, scooped out a little, and rubbed it onto his face.

After patting it evenly into his skin, Jing Ruan could not help grinning.

“Haha, Young Master. Young Master Jing!”

After laughing, Jing Ruan hooked his index finger under his lower eyelid and made a silly face at himself in the mirror. He was not very old and still carried a teenager’s childishness, so even when he made such immature gestures, there was no sense of mismatch at all.

A poor man suddenly becoming rich—this described Jing Ruan perfectly.

After Jing Ruan finished washing up, he went downstairs for breakfast. Once he finished eating, he went out. He hailed a taxi and headed to a place he had firmly memorized.

It was the back entrance of a shopping mall. Coincidentally, the area nearby was being demolished. Banners had been hung up and sheets of iron had been put around it. Jing Ruan knew that the male lead of the book, Yan Jin, would be injured there, and because of that, he would meet the female lead.

That would begin their love-hate entanglement.

Jing Ruan took this chance to go there early and wait. In his understanding, since someone was already the protagonist, then the protagonist had to be very impressive.

Jing Ruan thought that if he could become friends with the protagonist, then in the future, all he had to do was follow the protagonist around, and he would get to enjoy good food and live well along with him.

After all, that was how books always wrote it.

Following what was written in the book, Jing Ruan found the place. He crouched behind a wall on the first floor of the construction site. The book had written that Yan Jin had come alone to the mall today to buy something, and after buying it, he had suddenly felt like taking a look at the project he had invested in.

Because someone above had deliberately caused trouble for him, the project had been suspended for a long time. Yan Jin was only an illegitimate son, so he did not have much liquid capital on hand. It could be said that he had invested more than half his fortune into this.

All of this was because Yan Qian was stirring things up behind the scenes, trying to completely crush him. Yan Qian was Yan Jin’s older brother. The difference was that one was the son of the legal wife, while the other was an illegitimate child.

Jing Ruan gripped the bare wall with both hands. Like a thief, he would poke half his head out from time to time to look outside. Finally, he saw someone coming this way.

Jing Ruan grew excited inside, and his grip on the wall tightened. His fingernails turned from pink to white. He waited quietly until he heard a bang, as if something had fallen inside.

Jing Ruan first waited silently for a while. He would go out only after the female lead had finished following the plot. He was afraid that if he changed the plot, the contents of the book would completely shift because of him later on.

However, he did not have to wait long. After about ten minutes, Jing Ruan heard movement. He poked his head out to look and found that a beautiful older sister was preparing to pull the male lead out of the pit.

The construction site had been stopped for a long time. Even the iron sheets surrounding the outer walls had been stolen and sold, and the site had become full of pits and hollows. In order to dodge something falling from the building, the male lead had accidentally fallen into a pit and fainted.

Jing Ruan hurriedly ran over. When he reached them, he pretended not to know anything and asked them.

“Sister, what happened? How did Big Brother fall in there?”

Tao Wan was startled by the person who had suddenly appeared. After seeing clearly that the person in front of her was a young boy, she first swept her gaze around the surroundings, then looked up toward the upper floors of the building.

“Little brother, what are you doing here?”

Tao Wan felt somewhat wary. She had only taken a shortcut through this construction site, yet unexpectedly, she saw an injured person. Who knew that another young boy would suddenly appear as well?

Judging from the boy’s clothing and appearance, no matter how one looked at it, he did not seem like someone who should show up in a place like this.

Jing Ruan had only known to come here and wait to help. He had not known to prepare an excuse to justify his actions at all, so he did not dare look at Tao Wan. Stammering, he said that he had only come in to take a look and ended up getting lost.

Seeing that he could not even lie smoothly, Tao Wan knew he was not very scheming. She did not expose him and directly signaled for Jing Ruan to help.

“Little brother, come give me a hand. Let’s get him out.”

Jing Ruan obediently nodded. Whatever the female lead said, he did.

Together, the two of them got the person out of the pit and supported him to the roadside. Very soon, the ambulance arrived as well, and the two of them went to the hospital together.

On the way to the hospital, Jing Ruan leaned against the window and looked outside. Suddenly, he saw two cars following closely behind the ambulance. They were driving very fast, sticking close to them all the way.

Jing Ruan was so frightened that he hurriedly told them about it.

The medical staff also confirmed it. After directly calling the police, they sped toward the hospital without panicking in the slightest.

Their psychological resilience was truly impressive.

By contrast, Jing Ruan gripped the handrail tightly, his heart leaping into his throat.

Not long after, they shook off the cars following them.

Once they arrived at the hospital and the doctor finished a round of examinations, the male lead did not have any serious problems. Aside from a slight concussion, there was also a cut on the back of his neck from broken stone. It needed three or four stitches.

The doctor said he should stay under observation for a few days before leaving, then told them to go pay the fees. In order to earn some favor, Jing Ruan volunteered and said he would go.

But once he left the doctor’s office, he understood absolutely nothing. He grabbed a passing older sister and asked for help. It took him half a day to finally learn how to pay the fees.

After Jing Ruan finished paying, he returned to the hospital room.

By then, the male lead had already woken up. He was sitting propped against the bed, while the female lead was chatting with him at the side. From the looks of it, the two of them already had a favorable impression of each other at first meeting.

Yan Jin saw a fluffy head poke in from outside the hospital room door. When that person saw they were chatting, he shrank his head back again.

Yan Jin had already learned the whole story from Tao Wan, so he smiled and spoke toward the doorway.

“Little brother, come in and sit. Why are you hiding?”

Hearing the male lead call him, Jing Ruan immediately stood up straight with a whoosh and walked in, then sat down on the other side of the hospital bed.

Seeing how young he was, Yan Jin introduced himself first, then asked Jing Ruan what his name was and how old he was. After that, he asked how much the medical expenses had been, saying he would transfer the money to Jing Ruan in a bit.

Jing Ruan quickly took out his phone, fiddled with it a few times, and added Yan Jin. After Yan Jin added Jing Ruan, he looked at Tao Wan and added her as well.

The place where Jing Ruan had lived before was the filthiest, foulest, darkest Lower Fifth District. He had never seen people as good-looking as the male and female leads, so he could not help staring at them a few more times like an infatuated fool.

Yan Jin had sharp brows and bright eyes, while Tao Wan was gentle and graceful, just like her name. Her personality carried a touch of outgoing warmth, easily making one think of the winter sun—very kind, very inviting.

Jing Ruan did not know that while he was sizing them up, they were also sizing him up. In their eyes, Jing Ruan was wearing a simple white T-shirt embroidered with a mighty, imposing tiger.

His eyes were bright and moist, full of vigorous life. His lips were red, his teeth white, and his complexion was lustrous, like fine mutton-fat jade.

At the same time, in a vast forest, several helicopters slowly flew through the air. A few people stood near the doors. They wore special goggles and held weapons in their hands, firing continuously at the forest below.

Gunshots rang out one after another. The flock of sheep below immediately exploded into chaos, all of them fleeing forward. However, the mountain area ahead contained even more danger. Ahead of them was the lion forest.

The phone in Chen Fu’s trouser pocket was vibrating. He took off his goggles and casually hooked them at his collar, then took out his phone and checked the caller ID.

After he answered the call, the person on the other end reported quite a few pieces of news. Two minutes later, Chen Fu hung up and pressed the microphone hanging on the left side of his chest.

“Yan Qian, something went a little wrong with the plan…”

Yan Qian was on another helicopter. Everyone heard Chen Fu’s words. After Yan Qian heard them, he lost focus while firing and shot one of the sheep in the flock dead.

“Fuck. Chen Fu, could you not give me a warning first? I shot the sheep dead.”

“My condolences.”

“My condolences.”

“My condolences.”

The others on the mic all said those two words one after another.

Yan Qian carefully glanced at Yan Yi He, who was standing on the other side. Unlike them, Yan Yi He was not wearing any equipment. He stood there in a casual suit, without taking any protective measures at all.

“Yi He, sorry. I got distracted just now. How about I compensate you with a whole flock of sheep?”

Yan Qian thought to himself that he was truly having a run of bad luck. Not only had something gone wrong with the plan, he had even accidentally shot a sheep in Yan Yi He’s Hundred Beasts Park dead.

The forest within a radius of a hundred li belonged to Yan Yi He’s beast park. There were all kinds of animals kept inside. Today, they had come in to amuse themselves by watching wild beasts tear apart prey. Who knew that he himself would end up becoming the amusement instead?

Everything about Yan Yi He was good.

The only thing was that if someone touched his things without permission, he would turn hostile at the drop of a hat. He would not care in the slightest about years of friendship.

Yan Yi He looked at Yan Qian with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“I only agreed to let you come in and amuse yourselves by watching wild beasts tear apart prey. I never said you could shoot the animals dead.”

After saying this, Yan Yi He called out a name.

“Yan Luo.”

Yan Luo, who was in the cockpit, had been by Mr. Yan’s side since childhood, so he naturally understood what he meant.

And so, the others saw this scene.

One of the three helicopters suddenly rose higher, and then a person dropped out of it.

Yan Qian quickly opened his parachute.

He drifted down shakily and landed safely.

He thought this matter was over. Who knew he would end up landing near the flock of sheep? And the flock of sheep was about to enter the lions’ hunting range.

Shit.

Yan Qian hurriedly found the nearest tree and climbed up it. Below him, the lions began slaughtering their prey. Some lions came in his direction, and Yan Qian fired his gun to intimidate them.

Only after Yan Yi He had watched enough of the game did he order Yan Luo to lower the rope ladder.

Yan Qian climbed up the rope ladder, then collapsed into his seat. The others gloated over the mic and asked him how it felt.

They asked if watching at close range was impressive, if it was shocking.

Yan Yi He, meanwhile, walked over with a smile and pulled him up.
