I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

City Center Hospital.

VIP ward.

"My son—ah—"

A sharp, piercing sound came from the ward, and the eyes of the elegantly dressed middle-aged woman were particularly red and swollen from crying.

Li Chuan lay on the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his head, his cheeks swollen and his features almost sunken into his flesh.

"What kind of karma have you accumulated? How could you be so unlucky? Even if the Gu family is powerful, they can't bully people like this!"

Li Chuan, who had been snoring at the sight of blood all night, had just woken up and was in a terrible mood. His face was grim, and he said impatiently, "Mom, can you please stop crying? It's giving me a headache."

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan's mother immediately shut her mouth and could only wipe away her tears.

But the crying and sobbing were still unavoidable, which annoyed Li Chuan.

He passed out yesterday before he even had a chance to turn around and see who did it. When he heard this morning that it was Shen Yan who did it, he was completely baffled.

Xie Yan had just been kicked out by the eldest son of the Gu family, and now the second son of the Gu family was standing up for her. He definitely wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

An extra bed was added to the ward. Wang Zhiyuan was also brought in last night and is now lying next to Li Chuan.

Sitting next to Wang Zhiyuan was a young man who had just arrived; he was his cousin.

Wang Zhiyuan, his head also wrapped in a white bandage, looked utterly comical. "Brother Chuan, you absolutely have to back me up! My family's future rests on my brain. What if something happens to me..."

Li Chuan retorted rudely, "Nonsense! My brain is worth more than yours!"

He angrily tried to sit up, but the agitation caused another sharp pain in the back of his head, and his face turned even more pale.

"Shen Yan, an illegitimate child, dares to be so arrogant! I have no grudge against him, yet I used such force against him, damn it..."

At this moment, Wang Zhiyuan seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at his cousin, "Aren't you also a sophomore? Do you know Shen Yan?"

Only then did the boy nod, sounding rather annoyed at the mention of Shen Yan. "We're more than just acquaintances; we're even roommates, though he rarely goes back to the dorm."

Wang Liang was the one who went to confront Shen Yan after his crush rejected his confession.

Seeing his cousin and Li Chuan's miserable state, he felt even more disgusted with Shen Yan.

“He’s such a hypocrite. Sometimes in the dorm, he ignores us when we call him. Once, I took off his headphones and called him, and he almost hit me. He’s really violent.”

Wang Liang couldn't stand Shen Yan's pretentious attitude. He always wore headphones and ignored everyone. What was he trying to prove by acting all high and mighty?

He thought the "noble" second young master of the Gu family was listening to some elegant symphony, but when he secretly took off his headphones and listened, he found it was just a little girl singing, like a lullaby, humming and whining, what was so good about it?

What terrible taste!

Li Chuan suddenly turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Can you go out and buy us some breakfast?"

"Okay, then you guys lie still and don't move around."

With red eyes, Li's mother went out to buy breakfast.

After sending her away, Li Chuan squinted and said, "Could Xie Yan be having an affair with Shen Yan too? Didn't she move into the Gu family home recently? It would be easy for her to hook up with two people at the same time."

Wang Zhiyuan clapped his hands, suddenly realizing, "That's right! Otherwise, why would Shen Yan be in such a hurry! And the Gu family's sudden annulment of the engagement must mean Xie Yan cheated and got caught! I always said that no pretty woman is honest!"

Li Chuan sneered, "Damn it, that slut whore dared to act all high and mighty with me yesterday, she even dared to hit me! Does she think she's some kind of rich young lady?! A whore whore who's been played with by countless men, once I get out of here, I'm going to find a few people to beat her up—"

A loud bang suddenly erupted from not far away, and the door to the VIP ward was kicked open!

The hinges on the door were already strained and creaked twice before the entire door collapsed, a truly frightening sight.

A pair of long legs strode in. Xie Qingyu's expression was cold and terrifying, and his aura was so dark and tangible that it seemed as if he was about to kill someone at any moment.

His eyes were like sharp knives fixed on Li Chuan, and a cold, angry smile played on his lips.

What are you going to do to her?

Wang Zhiyuan and Wang Liang come from ordinary families, and Li Chuan is the richest person they can get in touch with; they've never seen anything like this before.

Apart from Shen Yan, they had never met anyone else from the Gu family. When they saw the extraordinary stranger who suddenly barged in, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word and quickly turned to look at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan also trembled, somewhat bewildered, but quickly put on a smile, "Young Master Gu, what brings you here? You—"

“I said,” Xie Qingyu interrupted him, asking slowly and deliberately, “what are you going to do to her?”

Xie Qingyu's expression was terrifying, as if he wanted to skin the person in front of him and eat him alive. Li Chuan didn't dare to lift his head under Xie Qingyu's gaze, and sweat was already seeping from his forehead.

"You...you didn't want her anymore, did you? I...I just kept thinking about her..."

At this moment, Xie Qingyu looked at Li Chuan as if he were a dead man.

Without saying a word, he took a few steps forward and grabbed the metal rod by the bedside where the medicine was hung.

In the following ten minutes or so, screams echoed throughout the ward, deafeningly loud.

The number 2222 was screaming wildly in Xie Qingyu's mind: [Stop! Stop! Stop! Someone's going to die if you keep fighting!!!]

Xie Qingyu lost his temper and was furious. He didn't care how powerful he was now; he only wanted to beat the two people who were bullying Xie Yan to death.

[I wish they were dead!! They're fucking disgusting!!! They should all die!!!]

2222 cried out in panic, "Don't be impulsive!! Your sister is perfectly fine!! If you kill someone, you'll go to jail!! Even the male lead's halo can't protect you!!!"

Finally, Xie Qingyu stopped, panting heavily.

Li Chuan and Wang Zhiyuan had already been beaten unconscious, leaving Wang Liang cowering behind the curtains, trembling with fear.

Xie Qingyu's body and face were splattered with blood, his expression terrifying and his eyes bloodshot, like a god of death.

He looked at Wang Liang in the corner, his tone icy, "When they wake up, tell them that if they want to collect their debts, they can come to me. I'll be waiting for them. Also, if there are any rumors circulating in your school, I will make sure the Li family goes bankrupt."

When he turned to leave, Wang Liang looked as if he had just walked through hell, covered in sweat, as if he had just crawled out of the water.

Finally, he got up, cried, and ran out, shouting, "Doctor! Nurse! Help! Someone, help me—"

--------

By the time Xie Qingyu had tidied his clothes and composed himself before returning home, it was already noon.

Shen Yan has returned and been scolded by Gu Jinhua.

Gu Jinhua could hardly believe it.

Over the years, he had known how well-behaved and steady Shen Yan was, and he never expected that Shen Yan would do something that would give others something to talk about in public.

It wasn't that the Li family was particularly powerful; Gu Jinhua didn't even consider the small Li family a threat. However, Shen Yan's impulsive actions infuriated him!

Hitting someone in public! This is clearly the Gu family abusing their power! What if this blows up? It will definitely affect the stock price!

The old butler brought Xie Qingyu a glass of water. "Why don't you go see the master later? He's in a bad mood right now."

Xie Qingyu sat on the sofa, his chest still feeling tight and suffocated. He had promised Xie Yan to put in a good word for Shen Yan, but he missed the chance.

"Where is Shen Yan? What did he say to my dad?"

Upon hearing this, the old butler sighed deeply.

Gu Jinhua had originally arranged for Shen Yan to start his internship at the company after the National Day holiday, but Shen Yan suddenly insisted on participating in some competition. Gu Jinhua didn't care about his competitions at all, and was already a little unhappy.

After last night's incident, Gu Jinhua was so angry that he told Shen Yan to get out. He said he didn't have such an disobedient son and wouldn't let him into the company anymore. He told him to go back to his adoptive parents.

"The second young master even knelt down before the master, saying that he would be obedient after returning from the competition and would do anything he was asked, just begging not to be sent away."

Xie Qingyu was startled and abruptly looked up at the butler, "He knelt down??"

The butler nodded, his expression moved. "Yes, I guess the second young master is also heartbroken and anxious, after all, it wasn't easy for him to get home..."

Xie Qingyu, however, gripped the water glass tightly, his fingertips turning white.

He knew that the villain Shen Yan in the original story had a morbid obsession with power and status, and that only by having enough power could he rival the male protagonist.

The fact that Shen Yan is kneeling before Gu Jinhua now is definitely not because of any father-son relationship; it's because he doesn't want to be kicked out of the Gu family or the company.

Otherwise, how will he fight me for power in the future?

So his ambition for power had already been revealed so early on?

"...Where is he now?"

The butler sighed again, "The master is in a bad mood and insists on kicking him out, saying he doesn't want to see him and won't let him stay at home anymore. The second young master has just packed his bags and left."

"..."

Xie Qingyu couldn't quite describe his feelings.

He did dislike Shen Yan, but Shen Yan was driven away this time because he was protecting Xie Yan, which made him feel a bit complicated.

He put down his water glass, got up, and prepared to go upstairs.

"Oh dear, please wait a while before you go. The master is still angry!" the butler urged anxiously.

Xie Qingyu smiled.

"It's okay, I'm just going to add fuel to the fire anyway."

His outburst this morning made Shen Yan's minor injury seem insignificant in comparison.

Those two dogs must have suffered at least a concussion.

Amen.

The other end.

Xie Yan spent the whole morning tidying up the house, at least throwing away the cardboard boxes and express delivery packaging in the living room.

However, the computer parts were still scattered all over the table.

She wanted to tidy up the wardrobe again, to fold it neatly and put it away, so she spread all kinds of clothes, pants and skirts all over the sofa.

She wasn't particularly tired, but looking around the house, it seemed like the more she tidied up, the messier it got.

Before, when Xie Yan was at home, she was usually only responsible for cooking. But since Xie Qingyu has grown up a bit, he has been doing housework and cleaning on his own initiative.

So if you really think about it, Xie Yan doesn't seem to have done much housework in the past few years; it's all been Xie Qingyu who has done it all.

Although this guy has a dog's brain and only knows how to annoy people all day, Xie Yan suddenly missed her younger brother.

After all, this guy is quite efficient at his work.

With the competition in two days, Xie Yan thought she would read some books in the afternoon and just have a quick lunch, so she cooked some noodles.

Just as the noodles were cooked, the doorbell rang.

As soon as the door opened, a slender young man stood forlornly outside.

He was holding a suitcase and carrying a backpack, looking like a pure and innocent student.

She looked a little unnatural, pursing her lips and lowering her eyes, avoiding Xie Yan's gaze.

"Shen Yan, what's wrong with you...?"

Xie Yan was somewhat surprised. Shen Yan had just left in the morning and was back again just after noon.
