The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Clown

Xu Wen was woken up by an almost cheerful system prompt.

[Host host!Wake up!There is good news!Big gossip!】

Xu Wen yelled back in his mind in a daze: “What’s the fuss about? Is the sky falling or is Nangong Chen bankrupt?”

[To some extent, the latter may be closer.】

The mechanical sound of the system rarely has a hint of human excitement. [According to the intelligence node information of City A that was just synchronized, Nangong Chen had a fierce conflict with his half-brother Nangong Yu at the Nangong family’s old house last night, and injured the other person. Nangong Yu has been admitted to the hospital for observation.】

Xu Wen was half awake in an instant, blinked his eyes to digest the news, then sneered and slumped back on the pillow: “That’s it? I thought he was a big melon. Two evil pens, a dog biting a dog with a hair in its mouth, only killing it can be considered as eradicating harm to the people.”

[In addition] The tone of the system changed back to calm, [Related information reminder: Nangong Chen has found out your original family, and designed your brother to fall into online gambling and owe huge debts.Presumably the intention is to use your family to pressure you into showing up.】

Hearing this, Xu Wen didn’t even have a trace of worry or anger on his face. Instead, he just said “haha” as if he heard some more ridiculous joke.

“Shabi.”

He commented unceremoniously, his tone full of disdain, “He can do whatever he likes to that family, it’s none of my business.”

He didn’t care at all, and even thought Nangong Chen’s move was ridiculously stupid.

That family has long been a stranger to him.

Thinking this, he turned his head and looked at Lu Qingrang beside him.

This sight made him slightly stunned.

Lu Qingrang closed his eyes and breathed steadily, but there was a faint greenish black under his eyes, and his brows were frowning slightly in his sleep.

“Brother Lu?” Xu Wen called softly, subconsciously reaching out to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, “Didn’t you sleep well?”

Almost at the same time, Lu Qingrang’s eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes.

The moment those always calm eyes came into contact with Xu Wen’s gaze, there seemed to be a flash of guilt and panic, but it was instantly covered up by his usual gentleness.

“It’s okay,” Lu Qingrang’s voice was hoarse as he had just woken up.

He calmly tilted his head slightly, avoided Xu Wen’s hand, and sat up, “It was just a dream. Who were you talking to just now?”

“Huh? No, no!”

Xu Wen laughed twice and hurriedly got out of bed to change the subject, “I’m talking to myself! Get up, we’re going to be late for work!”

He rushed to the bathroom quickly, so he missed Lu Qingrang’s complicated look on his back, which was almost overflowing with a mixture of lust and pain.

———-

At the same time, in City A, on the top floor of Nangong Group.

The air pressure is so low that the air can freeze.

Nangong Chen sat in a huge office chair. The morning light cast a cold halo around him, but it couldn’t get rid of the sinister look on his brows.

The tablet in front of him was displaying the latest report from the private detective, about Xu Wen’s younger brother who fell into the abyss of online gambling, and his adoptive parents who were so anxious that they were about to hang themselves.

“Trash.”

He opened his thin lips slightly and spat out two cold words. He didn’t know whether he was scolding his subordinates for their incompetence or the adoptive parents who couldn’t even control their son.

He recalled the scene when he went to meet the couple in person not long ago.

The greedy and cowardly man and the crying woman with twinkling eyes kept saying that Xu Wen had stolen the family’s money and ran away. They couldn’t contact him and even asked him for compensation.

He didn’t believe it.

Don’t believe a word of it.

Xu Wen seemed to have evaporated from the world, and together with Lu Qingrang, he disappeared without a trace.

There must be someone behind this, and there is no way that the so-called “family” has no knowledge.

Since gentle methods cannot be used to find out, then use the most irresistible method to force them and Xu Wen to show up.

As a result, a plot against Xu Wen’s incompetent brother was quietly laid.

The high imitation gambling website, the enthusiastic gold medal tutor, the small profits at the beginning, and then quickly fell into quagmire, and the huge debts with compound profits… everything was performed perfectly according to the script he wrote.

Looking at the embarrassment of the family in the report, frantically dialing Xu Wen’s long-deregistered number, and even starting to sell off their belongings, Nangong Chen’s lips curved into a cold smile.

Bite, bite hard.

When you are desperate, when that little turtle named Xu Wen is forced into a desperate situation by his family, let me see how long you can hide!

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

His technical advisor pushed open the door.

A young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a serious expression.

But at this moment, in Nangong Chen’s eyes, this meticulous face was inexplicably dazzling.

An unknown fire burst up.

Everything that happened in the old house last night was still burning in his mind, and the technical briefing spread out on the tablet in front of him made him even more angry.

His fingertips hit the tablet screen hard, with such force that it almost broke the glass screen.

“Is this the result of your investigation? You can’t even lock an anonymous account?”

The technical consultant lowered his head because of the chill in his words: “The other party used multiple layers of encryption and jumps, and all tracking was cut off at overseas nodes.”

Nangong Chen turned around slowly, his eyes so gloomy that water could drip from his eyes.

Everything stems from the anonymous person codenamed “A”.

Just yesterday, this “A” released a genius core code idea on a top technology forum on the dark web, which accurately solved a key technical bottleneck in the Nangong Group’s core project “Project Sky”.

Nangong Chen’s technical team tried to contact him as soon as they detected it, but nothing happened.

However, at the family dinner last night, his incompetent brother Nangong Yu actually brought an almost identical technical plan and talked in front of the family elders, trying to seize the dominance of the “Sky Dome Project”!

“Brother, it seems that your team is not very efficient.”

Nangong Yu’s proud and contemptuous face at that time made Nangong Chen’s blood boil just thinking about it now, “Such a good technique almost turned the pearl into dust. Fortunately, ‘A’ is more optimistic about my sincerity.”

Another cut!

He immediately sternly questioned the source of the technology, but Nangong Yu was vague, saying that it was ‘A’ who took the initiative to find him and appreciated his foresight.

This naked ridicule and provocation became the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Old and new hatreds broke out instantly.

He grabbed Nangong Yu’s collar, and in the horrified eyes of many family members, he slammed his fist into the opponent’s disgusting face.

The scene was chaotic.

Frustration.

In his life, Nangong Chen, he rarely tasted this kind of feeling.

Recently, all the frustrations are accurately linked to the name “Lu Qingrang”.

Now, even an ‘A’ who appeared out of nowhere dared to step on his head, and even chose to support his good-for-nothing brother!

Is there some kind of connection behind this?A vague thought flashed through me again, but it was quickly drowned out by more surging anger.

He waved the tablet away irritably, as if that would get rid of all the troubles.

The office fell silent again, except for his heavy breathing.

He looked out the window at his business empire with cold and piercing eyes.

Lu Qingrang, Xu Wen, and this ‘A’ who doesn’t know how to live or die and is on the wrong team.

He won’t let any of them go.

He would let them know what a stupid mistake it was to offend him, Nangong Chen, and choose Nangong Yu.

“Go check it out.”

Nangong Chen’s voice seemed to be squeezed out of a crack in the ice: “Use all available resources to sift through the ground inch by inch! That ‘A’… and Lu Qingrang, they must still be in some corner of the country.”

He turned around sharply, his gaze scraping across the pale face of the technical advisor like a sharp blade.

“If you can’t track it with technical means, just use the most primitive methods! Black markets, docks, borders…all the shady places, give me double the reward!”

He paused, an extremely sinister light flashed in his eyes, and almost gritted his teeth and added:

“Also, keep an eye on Nangong Yu. Since ‘A’ chose him, there must be a connection between them. Dig out this hidden rat from him!”

The technical advisor was so frightened by the undisguised murderous intent in his words that his spine trembled. He quickly bowed in response and almost jogged out of the suffocating president’s office.

In the empty room, Nangong Chen slowly sat back on the large leather chair, tapping the armrests with his fingers unconsciously.
