SWNOVELXO Chapter 24:
Chapter 24:
Lin Chuan had always followed one life principle:
A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.
A villain’s revenge happens from morning to night.
And who was he?
He was the ultimate villain in this novel, Peach Blossom Evil Doctor.
A villain through and through.
Since Lin Hai dared to play dirty and tried to sabotage his engagement with Lu Chaoge, if Lin Chuan didn’t retaliate, wouldn’t that be an embarrassment to all villains?
According to the original plot, tomorrow morning, Lin Hai would collaborate with Qin Chao to stage a hero-saving-beauty scene.
Before, Lin Chuan had been hesitant about confronting Qin Chao, the so-called protagonist of destiny, so soon.
But now that he had the system’s Combat Mastery, his confidence was soaring.
From his understanding of the original story, while Qin Chao was already quite strong at this point, he was far from being invincible.
Maybe… he could intercept this plan for himself.
The heroine Lin Hai had arranged to “rescue,” Xia Tian, was one of the most important female leads in the novel. Not only was her background powerful, but she was also intelligent and meticulous—an ideal candidate for a secretary.
In the original novel, Lu Chaoge managed Qin Chao’s business empire, while Xia Tian handled his daily affairs, allowing him to live a carefree life.
That kind of life sounded pretty good to Lin Chuan as well.
Having made up his mind, he no longer cared about checking Ning Wenrou’s progress and instead returned to his room to strategize.
Early the next morning, he headed to his garage to pick a car.
His garage was filled with luxury sedans, sports cars, and off-road vehicles—each worth millions.
In the end, he chose the most low-profile option, an Audi A4L, did some quick disguising, and drove straight to Zhonghai Aviation Building.
Xia Tian had just graduated from Zhonghai University’s aviation program this year and was heading to an airline company today for a flight attendant interview.
According to the original plot, this was where Qin Chao and Lin Hai would stage their hero-saving-beauty act.
Since Lin Chuan arrived early, the entrance of the Aviation Building was still relatively empty.
He first went to a nearby street vendor and bought two jianbing (Chinese crepes) and a cup of soy milk before returning to his car to eat.
Half an hour later, groups of handsome young men and beautiful women started arriving at the Aviation Building.
It was easy to tell they were fresh graduates, as their faces brimmed with youthful energy.
Watching this group, Lin Chuan almost got dazzled.
But soon, when one particular girl appeared, all the other beauties faded into the background.
It was as if she carried her own spotlight.
Wherever she stood, everything else around her seemed dull and lifeless.
Like the other girls, she was also dressed in a black professional suit, her legs wrapped in black stockings, paired with black high heels.
However, compared to the rest, the aura she exuded was on another level—like the stark contrast between an ordinary duckling and a graceful swan.
Lin Chuan instantly matched her with the description from the original novel.
She was Xia Tian, unanimously voted by Zhonghai University students as “the most beautiful campus belle in the school’s history.”
Her beauty was gentle yet breathtaking.
Perhaps in an attempt to tone down her appearance and make the interviewers focus on her abilities instead of her looks, she deliberately wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Little did she know, this only made her even more attractive, adding a subtle, intellectual charm.
She stood at least 1.72 meters tall, and with her high heels, she instantly made many of the self-confident guys feel inadequate.
But what truly captured the attention of countless admirers were her long, flawless legs wrapped in sheer black stockings.
Not only were they long, but perfectly straight, without the slightest curve or imperfection.
Absolutely leg model material!
Before long, Xia Tian followed the crowd into the Aviation Building.
Lin Chuan couldn’t help but think—
If she passes the interview, the airline’s revenue might just double overnight.
There would be plenty of men booking flights just to catch a glimpse of her.
As he pondered, he suddenly noticed a few suspicious individuals nearby, whispering among themselves.
One of them bore a striking resemblance to him.
Thanks to the original host’s memories, Lin Chuan immediately recognized him.
It was his half-brother, Lin Hai.
At that moment, Lin Hai was gesturing to the others, obviously giving them instructions.
Although Lin Chuan couldn’t hear them clearly, it was clear they were discussing the hero-saving-beauty plan.
The others nodded repeatedly, showing great respect toward Lin Hai.
After giving his instructions, Lin Hai turned and walked toward the parking area, stopping in front of a red Porsche 718.
He respectfully bowed toward the driver’s seat. “Mr. Qin, everything is set.”
Lin Chuan, who was parked nearby with only two cars between them, caught the name loud and clear.
Mr. Qin?
No doubt, the person in the Porsche 718 was none other than his lifelong rival, Qin Chao!
As the author’s favorite protagonist, Qin Chao had both insane luck and overwhelming strength, making him nearly untouchable.
Especially for Lin Chuan, the novel’s designated villain, who suffered countless humiliations and was ultimately killed by Qin Chao himself.
Now, knowing that the man sitting in that car was Qin Chao, Lin Chuan’s heart filled with mixed emotions.
Since I’m here, there’s no way I’m following the original script.
I don’t care if you’re the protagonist of destiny—if you stand in my way, I’ll take you down.
Moving cautiously, he slipped out of his car, circled behind them, and used his phone to record the entire conversation between Lin Hai and Qin Chao.
Since Qin Chao was extremely vigilant, Lin Chuan didn’t dare get too close, resulting in slightly blurry visuals and audio.
However, Lin Hai’s face was still clearly identifiable in the footage.
After capturing the evidence, Lin Chuan quickly returned to his car.
Everything was now in place.
All that was left was to wait for the show to begin.
About an hour later, candidates started leaving the Aviation Building one after another.
Most of them looked dejected, a stark contrast to their earlier excitement. Clearly, the interviews hadn’t gone well.
Two hours later, Xia Tian finally walked out.
She still maintained her elegant posture, her aura as stunning as ever.
The thugs Lin Hai had hired immediately spotted her and surrounded her.
“Miss, please wait a moment.”
The leader, a middle-aged man in a tailored suit, rushed forward and blocked her path.
Xia Tian frowned slightly. “What do you want?”
By now, many people had gathered outside, and seeing the commotion, they stopped to watch.
“Miss, please don’t misunderstand.” The man quickly smiled apologetically. “I work for Wave Net Celebrity Inc., a talent scouting agency. My name is Huang Ren.”
As he spoke, he handed Xia Tian a business card.
Xia Tian took it and gave it a glance. “A talent agency? What do you want from me?”
Huang Ren immediately got to the point. “To be honest, I’ve been in this industry for years and have discovered multiple internet celebrities. But I have never—never—seen a beauty like you. If you sign with us and let us handle your branding, you’ll become an overnight sensation!”
However, Xia Tian didn’t even flinch at his flattering words.
She had been hearing compliments her entire life, so she was completely immune to such sweet talk.
“Sorry, I’m not interested.”
She handed back the business card and turned to leave.
But how could Huang Ren let such a treasure slip away so easily?
He stepped in front of her again. “Miss, at least listen to the contract details before deciding!”
