章節 38: A Heartless Criminal

Saving the villainess simply meant to make the chances of her going crazy in love zero.

In this world, Jiang Li accomplished it by making sure that Xie Na, the villainess who was no longer a villainess, would not fall for Cheng Yijun. After all, in Jiang Li's eyes, Xie Na only lost her brain and fell into depravity and madness due to love.

If so, if the target of her past life's obsession was in no way lovable or admirable anymore, there should be no chance of this happening, right?

Anyway, who would go crazy in love for a madman who deeply toyed with dozens of women and could not even guard his company well?

The man was also not clean.

A few years ago, when the construction of a new mall had an accident where a whole second floor fell to the first floor, several workers and employees got buried, killed, or injured.

However, the bastard who was the overall in charge feared more of being accused as incompetent in handling company affairs. This was why, instead of recovering the dead bodies and helping the injured workers, he forced the construction team to thicken the first floor's foundation and pour cement all over it, not sparing everyone who could have been saved from there.

Just that alone made the male lead a heartless criminal, a beast in sheep's clothing more horrible than a zombified Jiang Li. A zombie might be a monster, but it no longer knew the bad things it was doing. But Cheng Yijun back then was perfectly aware of his crimes? So where did his morals go? Eaten by the devils?

After all his deeds were brought to light, it wouldn't make sense if any sane girl still fell for him.

'There are no more candles, flowers, and sweet nothings to fool this woman. They didn't even manage to have a proper first meeting.'

It was the tenth day of Cheng Yijun 'hearing and seeing ghosts,' this time of those construction workers that he had indirectly killed. The male lead was too mentally unstable to realize that the ghosts were only limited to electronic devices.

This worked the best for Jiang Li. Everything had already been programmed and scheduled for the target. The rest of his time was used to help his father clean up the mess left by Jiang Wen or to ponder over who was the one who helped him attack the Chengs.

"The person who orchestrated all of this is quite fierce, using or manipulating the hearts of those employees and shareholders so they'll jump ship and abandon the enemy."

Xie Na nodded, also in awe of the other party's efficiency. The woman also wanted to know what the Cheng heir had done to them to make them do this. Surely, theirs should be more reasonable and logical than her boss, no?

"I want to meet the other party."

Jiang Li could feel that his time was almost up. But before he left this world, he wanted to see the person who made his life and mission so much easier.

Xie Na asked, "Would you like me to try asking my brother? Maybe I can make him say who they are."

The man sneered. "Professor Hao won't cooperate for sure. Nevermind. I think I know who she is."

Jiang Li's eyes fell on the newspaper handed to him by his secretary earlier.

There was a picture of a glamorous woman there. Under it was this socialite's declaration about the Cheng family. For the past few days, he stopped trying to uncover the other's identity through hacking and focused on contemplating who would be the greatest beneficiary aside from him once the male lead fell.

Surprisingly, he managed to narrow it down to a single person, a woman particularly. If his guess was correct, the individual was not really related to Hao Gang but probably had some dealings with him. Initially, he thought that another person was sabotaging the enemy through the cyber world. But no, all along, he was competing with Hao Gang!

But of course, while this piece of information was interesting, he was more interested in the woman who made the professor work for her as he did.

He laughed and told Xie Na. "I have free time this evening. Please arrange a meeting for me."

Xie Na dutifully began typing on her tablet, probably editing a template for a request. "With whom, Sir?"

Jiang Li also began looking through the documents piling up atop his table, laughingly replying, "The princess of the Zhu family. The one whose engagement with the Cheng heir has been recently called off."

The female secretary looked at him meaningfully as if she was making assumptions on why he said it was Zhu Li, but later on, she shrugged off the thoughts and turned around to leave. Since the man was no longer listing demands to her, it should mean she was now free to go back to her table.

Yet before she could formally step out of the huge office, her boss' voice rang from behind her again.

The man said, "By the way, before you leave. I just want to ask. Since you are a woman, given everything you discover about the Cheng's heir, is there still a chance for you to like or love that guy?"

Xie Na turned around puzzlingly, her beautiful face showing confusion.

What was with his brainless question?

She furrowed her brows, and tried to fathom the man's intention but couldn't make any definite guess. In the end, she sincerely answered, "Only a crazy or mentally inept woman would like a guy like him. And I don't think I am one of them."

In her mind, she thought only ladies with no self-respect would want to associate with a heartless beast. If a woman loves herself, she would choose to be with an honest man, not a womanizer.

"May I go out now?"

The guy shrugged.

After the secretary left, he finally heard something ringing in his head, a melodious sound akin to a wind chime played by the wind.

Jiang Li's lips curled into a satirical smile.

'Damn. Finally.'
