Yang Yuxin Gets Angry

Truly, he was out of options.

No matter if he chose to save them or not, the one facing the consequences in the end would always be him. It was a genuine dilemma. For Su Chen to maintain his antagonist persona without disrupting the storyline, he could only wait for the upcoming fire and then make a run for it immediately. This way, he could solidify his image as a self-preserving villain. And based on his understanding of these three women, such actions of his would undoubtedly be frowned upon. Don't ask why he understood them so well; the answer would be that he'd been there and experienced it firsthand.

However, Su Chen couldn't actually run away. He still needed to come back to rescue the heroines. Much like that one unexpected event, he would mask his identity, and when the women were dazed, he would take action. He would save them all. After much consideration, Su Chen believed this was the only way forward. He was genuinely frustrated. He had been trying so hard to complete his mission properly, but these heroines kept drastically changing the script. He was merely a supporting male character who occasionally appeared in the plot; he could've just taken it easy, yet he had to strive so much.

"Su Chen, how's your marriage situation with Lin Qingyan? Haven't you decided when you're getting married?" Yang Danxuan, in the absence of better topics and also trying to bridge the gap between her and Su Chen, casually threw the question at him. However, at this moment, she wasn't genuinely concerned about this matter. She was being cautious in every way. Although there was still some time before the accident from her previous life occurred, based on her memories, she believed that Zhao Long would set a fire outside soon. Yang Danxuan initially wanted to remind Su Chen about Zhao Long's malevolence. But she wasn't sure how to broach the subject. Revealing to Su Chen that she had been reincarnated certainly didn't seem like a good idea.

Speaking directly about it seemed to have no justification.

To her surprise, her younger sister, Yang Yuxin, had also noticed and took the initiative to speak out. However, what met her was a retort from Su Chen. This made Yang Danxuan even more hesitant to voice her thoughts. If she angered Su Chen now and made him distance himself from her, it would be a loss she couldn't afford.

The root of all evil was Zhao Long. At the moment, Yang Danxuan's anger was directed solely at him. In her past life, it was this very Zhao Long who caused Su Chen immense suffering, and she had spent over a decade in regret and longing. She was well aware that Zhao Long was affiliated with Qin Yu, and Yang Danxuan was determined to eliminate him for Su Chen's sake, especially to enlighten Su Chen about the whole situation.

She believed that Su Chen would be immensely grateful to her when the time came, seeing it as a perfect opportunity to deepen their relationship. Yang Danxuan had indeed considered taking Zhao Long's life, but she feared Su Chen's reaction if he found out. She wished to always present her best side in Su Chen's heart. The upcoming explosion posed significant danger, but it also presented an opportunity to obtain evidence.

A person like Zhao Long had already meticulously planned this operation, erasing all related evidence, making it nearly impossible for Yang Danxuan to investigate. However, new evidence would emerge after the explosion, evidence that would clearly show Su Chen that Zhao Long was a threat. In her heart, Yang Danxuan had prepared everything. She intended not to delve deep into the supermarket, ensuring an easy escape when the time came.

Not only would they avoid injury, but it would also provide a legitimate reason to eliminate the mole by Su Chen's side. "Sis, are you okay?" Yang Yuxin walked beside her, always attentive to Yang Danxuan. She noticed that Yang Danxuan seemed distracted and even a bit irritated. This left her feeling uneasy.

She knew her elder sister, Yang Danxuan, was not someone who got angry easily.

Seeing her now showing a hint of aversion, Yang Yuxin deduced it was towards Su Chen. Yang Yuxin felt a mix of concern and happiness. Earlier, she had been worried about what she would do if Yang Danxuan also had feelings for Su Chen. Now, knowing that Yang Danxuan didn't like him, Su Chen could belong only to her.

"It's nothing major, just lost in some thoughts," Yang Danxuan replied with a gentle smile, radiating warmth. She resembled the type of senior in school who would show concern to everyone, almost like a first love.

Su Chen was surrounded and walked forward with the three women, but they deliberately slowed their pace. Sandwiched in the middle, Su Chen felt incredibly uncomfortable as each woman emitted a different fragrance. He was slightly dazed by it all.

Bang! Boom! A gunshot echoed, followed immediately by an explosion.

Upon hearing the noise, a look of shared joy appeared on all four of their faces. As the flames approached, Su Chen had already planned his escape, thinking of running out immediately. However, in that moment, he found himself unable to move. The three women not only surrounded him but also simultaneously reached out with their fair, beautiful hands to grip his clothing tightly, not giving him a chance to flee.

Su Chen's face turned pale. He was infuriated and puzzled, trying to understand what they intended. Were they planning to get burnt together? Damn it!

The sacrifice Qin Yu made was too great, using three delicate female protagonists as the price to kill himself.

Just as Su Chen was engulfed in confusion, Yang Danxuan and Chen Yuxin had already reacted. They were aware of this situation and were fully focused. The fire was not that intense yet. Together, the two quickly lifted Su Chen and carried him out. Meanwhile, Yang Yuxin seemed to know Zhao Long's location, as she dashed directly towards him to apprehend him.

Su Chen: ???

He glanced at Yang Danxuan and then at Chen Yuxin, looking completely baffled. The three of them were in such perfect sync, their collaborative efforts seemed as if they knew in advance what was about to transpire.

"What the hell? What's happening while I'm here?" He hadn't expected these female protagonists to be so capable, not needing his rescue at all. Without any time to ponder further, just after he was carried out, the supermarket in front of him exploded instantly. The entire store was consumed by fierce flames. One could only imagine the horrific injuries if someone was inside – it was likely a certain death scenario.

Su Chen was relieved. After witnessing such a terrifying scene, he was sure that neither Chen Yuxin nor Yang Danxuan would let it go easily. Even if these female protagonists decided to let it go, Su Chen was now cautious, as their behaviors were quite strange. Both the Chen and Yang family elders would undoubtedly seek retribution. Now, with Yang Yuxin going after Zhao Long, the fire seemed inconsequential. In fact, the current outcome might be the best possible scenario. Without him lifting a finger, these female protagonists had dodged a bullet, saving him quite a bit of effort.

Su Chen increasingly felt that the current plot was too intelligent. On the contrary, it allowed him to better play the role of a laid-back antagonist. Su Chen knew that it was time for him to bear the responsibility.

He knew Yang Yuxin too well. With Zhao Long's abilities, it was impossible for him to escape from her grasp. As expected, while Su Chen was still pondering, Yang Yuxin returned, holding a bloodied Zhao Long.

"Su Chen, I told you, this Zhao Long is problematic. Why wouldn't you believe me?" Yang Yuxin seemed to be blaming Su Chen, but she was actually seeking validation, hoping to gain his approval. After saying this, she discarded Zhao Long, whose nose had been battered, onto the ground like a lifeless dog.

Seeing this, Su Chen was overjoyed, feeling immense happiness in his heart. [Yang Yuxin, you are truly my darling.] [Good, now that Zhao Long has been captured, as long as he insists that I'm the mastermind behind all this, both Chen Yuxin and Yang Danxuan will surely be angered.] [Maybe, maybe not, they seem to have encountered some mishaps.] [Luckily, the naive Yang Yuxin is here. Given her temperament, she's bound to be furious. Come on, Yang Yuxin, get angry!]
