From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Bi Yao gracefully unfolded the gold-embossed invitation, but her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Jiang Ruiyuan was walking over with a cup of coffee when he saw this and quickly asked, "What's wrong, Yao Yao?" Bi Yao handed him the letter, her delicate face filled with disbelief: "Look at this, we actually received a warning letter from 'Black Gold'!"

Jiang Ruiyuan was also shocked after reading it.

Black Gold, a notorious and ruthless gray force that has been entrenched in the area for many years, is known for its viciousness.

How dare they interfere with their charity projects?

"These rats are really tired of living!" Jiang Ruiyuan cursed under his breath, a cold glint flashing in his deep eyes.

“They warned us to stop the launch ceremony for the new project, or else…” Bi Yao didn’t finish her sentence, but the threat in her words was obvious.

The two remained silent for a moment, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

They originally thought that once the new philanthropic concept gained international recognition, it could proceed smoothly.

Unexpectedly, beneath this calm surface, undercurrents were surging.

"Afraid of them? We'll meet them head-on!" Bi Yao's eyes gleamed with determination, and a spirit of never giving up arose within her.

Jiang Ruiyuan gave her an approving look, took her hand, and offered her silent support.

"Let's go, let's go and meet these clowns!"

On the day of the launch ceremony, the sun shone brightly, and the square was bustling with people, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, just as Bi Yao was about to go on stage to give a speech, a group of burly men in black stormed in. The man in the lead had a hideous scar on his face and was clearly not a good guy.

"Who is Bi Yao? If you know what's good for you, get lost and stop blocking our path to wealth!" the scarred man shouted arrogantly, his tone full of threat.

The surrounding crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves. Some looked at Bi Yao with concern, while others curiously observed the group of uninvited guests.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a glance, their faces showing no fear, but rather a cold smile.

“I am Bi Yao. Who are you? What do you want?” Bi Yao stepped forward, confronting the scarred man without flinching.

The scarred man clearly hadn't expected Bi Yao to be so forceful. He paused for a moment, then grinned maliciously, "You won't listen to reason, so here we are! Brothers, smash it!" As soon as he finished speaking, the burly men in black began to wreak havoc, scattering the prepared charity supplies everywhere…

Bi Yao looked at the scene before her, her heart aching...

"you……"

Looking at the scattered supplies, Bi Yao's exquisite makeup could not hide her heartache.

These were all intended as donations to children in disaster areas, but now they've been ruined like this by these scumbags!

"My God! These are winter coats for the children!" she exclaimed, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

This group of people is absolutely insane!

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger that was about to erupt.

Now is not the time to act impulsively; we must calm down and think of a solution.

But what could she do in the face of this lawless and evil force?

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Jiang Ruiyuan gently patted her shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Yaoyao, don't worry, leave it to me." He took out his phone, dialed a number, and said calmly but firmly, "Hello, Director Li? This is Jiang Ruiyuan... Yes, we've run into some trouble... Um, someone is maliciously sabotaging a charity event... Yes, I hope the police can intervene as soon as possible..."

The scarred man watched Jiang Ruiyuan make a phone call and sneered disdainfully, "Kid, you think you can scare me by calling the police? Let me tell you, I'm the boss here!" However, before he could finish speaking, the sound of police sirens came from afar.

The scarred man's expression changed, and he stared incredulously at the approaching police car, his arrogant demeanor vanishing instantly.

The police quickly brought the scene under control and took all the thugs away.

The scarred man tried to struggle, but the police grabbed him and dragged him into the police car in a disheveled state.

Bi Yao watched this scene with a hint of surprise in her eyes, followed by deep admiration.

She didn't expect Jiang Ruiyuan to be able to resolve the problem so quickly, and even more so, through legal means.

"Ruiyuan, you..." She was about to speak when Jiang Ruiyuan grasped her hand, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "Yaoyao, this is just the beginning..."

The sirens faded into the distance, and the square returned to calm, but the tense atmosphere seemed to linger in the air.

Bi Yao leaned gently against Jiang Ruiyuan's chest, like a frightened little bird finding a safe harbor.

Jiang Ruiyuan held her tightly, his chin resting on the top of her head, his warm breath falling on her hair.

"It's alright, Yao Yao, I've got you covered."

"Mmm." Bi Yao responded softly, the familiar scent of Jiang Ruiyuan lingering in her nostrils, making her feel incredibly at ease.

She raised her head, looking at Jiang Ruiyuan's resolute chin, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Ruiyuan, thank you."

Jiang Ruiyuan looked down at her, the tenderness in his eyes almost melting her.

"Silly girl, don't thank me. Protecting you is what I should do." He gently kissed her forehead, and the love between them spread infinitely at that moment.

However, the story does not end there.

The next day, a seemingly gentle old man came to Bi Yao's office.

He was dressed simply, with a kind smile on his face, and spoke slowly and deliberately, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

“Miss Bi, Mr. Jiang, I’ve long admired your names.” The old man bowed slightly, speaking humbly. “I’m here on behalf of the local residents, and I hope to discuss some charitable projects with you both.”

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of wariness in each other's eyes.

The old man's appearance was too abrupt, and his attitude was too gentle, which made him seem somewhat hypocritical.

"Sir, please speak." Bi Yao casually invited the old man to sit down.

The old man spoke slowly, but put forward conditions even more demanding than "black gold," ostensibly for the benefit of the local residents.

The surrounding staff gasped in shock. This wasn't negotiation; it was extortion!

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan remained unusually calm. They had already seen through the old man's scheme; this was merely a different way for the local forces to obstruct them.

Bi Yao did not refuse directly, but cleverly steered the conversation toward the public.

She announced to the public that a residents' meeting would be held so that everyone could decide for themselves whether to support the new charity project.

The news was met with enthusiastic response from the general public.

The event was packed with people and the scene was very lively.

The public expressed their support for the new charitable project and strongly condemned the despicable actions of local forces.

The old man's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected Bi Yao to have such a powerful appeal.

The local forces' plot completely failed, and they could only slink away in disgrace.

The joy of victory filled the air, and Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan smiled at each other.

However, Jiang Ruiyuan's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression instantly turned serious.

"Yao Yao, look..." He handed his phone to Bi Yao, and the screen displayed an explosive news headline: Charity Queen Bi Yao Suspected of Fraudulent Donations, What is the Truth?
