From cannon fodder villain to beloved heroine

Yan Rugo's heart was pounding like a drum, each beat more rapid than the last, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. She felt like a fawn being targeted by a hunter, her hair standing on end, her palms sweating with nervousness. This damned sense of crisis was enough to make her explode on the spot!

Through the crack in the door, she watched helplessly as Li Si's sinister face and a few henchmen crept over, like thugs collecting protection money. Every step they took seemed to tread on Yan Rugo's nerves. She could even smell the suffocating oppression in the air, making her wish she could bury her head in the ground and escape.

Li Si and his group were like a pack of hungry wolves, their eyes filled with greed and murderous intent. They looked around as if searching for some important prey. Their figures appeared particularly ferocious in the dim light, just like villains in a horror movie. Yan Rugo couldn't help but complain in her heart, "This script is too exciting! I just wanted to be a bystander, how did I become the protagonist?"

Yan Rugo huddled in a corner like a frightened kitten, barely daring to breathe, watching the outside world warily. At that moment, she felt like Jerry from "Tom and Jerry," being chased by Tom, ready to run away at any moment, hoping that these people would leave quickly and not bother her, this "little kitten."

At that moment, the warehouse became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The air around them seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.

Yan Rugo carefully shifted her body, trying to hide herself even more. However, she accidentally bumped her toe into a small item piled on a wooden crate. The "smack" sounded particularly jarring in the quiet space, like a sudden distorted note in a stage play, making her toes feel like they were digging into the ground. She instantly felt her soul leave her body; her mind went blank. Oh no, Barbie Q! She had made such a basic mistake at such a crucial moment. She was practically possessed by a terrible teammate. She could imagine Li Si and his group rushing over like they were on steroids after hearing the sound, and then she would truly be doomed.

"Who's there?" Li Si's voice sounded like it came from hell, cold and piercing.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people raised their torches at the same time, illuminating every corner of the warehouse. A dangerous atmosphere filled the air, and Yan Rugo felt as if she were in the eye of a storm. An unprecedented sense of tension surged into her heart.

"It looks like someone's there!" one of them shouted.

Li Si strode to the corner, his voice laced with malice: "Come out, stop hiding!"

Just as they were about to find Yan Rugo in the corner, a clear voice came: "Manager Li, what are you doing here?" Xu's voice was like heavenly music, saving Yan Rugo at the critical moment.

He deliberately kicked over a barrel, making a loud noise, and then quickly slipped behind another pile of goods.

"Who goes there?" Li Si and the others were immediately drawn to the sudden commotion and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came, like a group of cats being teased with a cat toy, completely forgetting their previous target.

"There!" one of the henchmen shouted, pointing in the direction where the male protagonist was hiding. The others immediately swarmed forward, like a pack of vicious dogs pouncing on their prey.

Li Si and the others assumed that Xu was the man they were looking for, so they chased after him.

They all looked fierce and menacing, as if they wanted to tear Xu, the male protagonist, to pieces.

Upon seeing this, Yan Rugo was overjoyed, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Like a nimble little mouse, she quickly slipped out through another exit of the warehouse and ran to a secluded spot to wait for Xu.

With his exceptional skills and wit, Xu quickly escaped the pursuit of Li Si and his men.

He found Yan Rugo at the agreed location, and the two embraced tightly.

It was quiet all around, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Moonlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Yan Rugo hugged Xu Nanzhu tightly, feeling his warm embrace and a sense of security filling her heart.

She looked up into Xu's deep eyes.

The male protagonist, Xu, also held Yan Rugo tightly, gently stroking her hair and whispering, "It's alright, I'm here."

Yan Rugo's eyes reddened slightly. She nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

The two embraced quietly, their eyes filled with worry and love for each other.

After a long while, the male protagonist Xu released Yan Rugo, took out a stack of letters from his pocket, handed them to Yan Rugo, and said, "Take a look at this."

Yan Rugo took the letter, opened it, and her expression instantly turned serious...

Yan Rugo and Xu Nanzhu's expressions became extremely serious, their brows furrowed tightly, and their eyes filled with solemnity.

Those letters were like heavy bombs, throwing their thoughts into chaos.

"Who exactly is the force behind this?" Yan Rugo shook her head in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

The male protagonist, Xu, also looked bewildered. He bit his lower lip tightly, his cheeks puffed out.

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to become heavy, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, and it felt as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.

Yan Rugo's eyes suddenly lit up. Relying on the system's analytical capabilities, she began to search for clues in the letters.

“I think this force might be hiding somewhere in the mansion,” she said confidently.

So the two of them headed in the possible direction.

Along the way, the defenses were tight and there were many traps.

The guards had sharp eyes, like hungry wolves.

The traps are hidden in the shadows, and a moment's carelessness can lead to utter ruin.

But they cleverly avoided it, and a sense of accomplishment arose from successfully escaping danger.

As they approached their destination, they heard a low murmur of conversation.

Yan Rugo and Xu Nanzhu's expressions instantly tensed up, and their heartbeats suddenly accelerated.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and a mysterious atmosphere enveloped them.

Yan Rugo took a deep breath, her eyes resolute, and Xu, the male lead, held her hand tightly.

They cautiously approached the source of the sound, each step very light, as if the slightest movement would disturb something terrible.

"No matter who's inside, we have to find out," Yan Rugo said softly. Xu Nanzhu nodded, and they continued to slowly approach.
