Bai Ren was the son of Bai Yan, the butler of the Bai family. According to the original world’s development, he should have grown up together with the male lead, become Bai Yucheng’s left and right hand, help the entire Bai family rise to a higher level, and let the male lead stand at the top of the world.

But affected by his personal fortune, Bai Ren, who should have grown up happily, suffered a medical accident at birth. His gentle mother died in childbirth.

At that time, his father, Bai Yan, was outside working for the Bai family, and after he returned, he also did not give much care to Bai Ren, who had lost his mother.Full novel: The Cannon Fodder and the Villain Are True Love — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Bai Yan was utterly loyal to the Bai family, but he did not put his heart into his own family.

He did not care about Bai Ren’s life, and once Bai Ren grew a little older, his discipline of Bai Ren was also extremely strict. He only wanted to train him into the loyal dog beside the male lead Bai Yucheng. This caused Bai Ren’s personality to go awry, and his heart gradually twisted.

On the surface, he was obedient. When he grew up, Bai Ren was publicly Bai Yucheng’s subordinate. After returning to the country from overseas study, he also entered Shengheng Group and became a backbone member of the pharmaceutical project.

But in reality, he had always been secretly researching a terrifying virus, wanting to destroy the entire world.

This plan was naturally discovered by the sharp-eyed female lead. Because of the obstruction of the male and female leads, Bai Ren spent quite a bit more effort, but still successfully developed the virus.

Human beings struggled in the virus for several years, but in the end they still perished, which also caused the collapse of the small world.

Mo燚 heard this, blinked, and surprise flashed through his black-lacquered eyes.

He had not expected this villain to be so formidable. He himself had only blown himself up together with those who had humiliated him.

But this Bai Ren had actually dragged the entire world down with him!

However, after hearing all this, Mo still felt that the task 005 mentioned was somewhat strange. Because according to his understanding, this villain was extremely dangerous, and had even caused the collapse of this world.

From the standpoint of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, shouldn’t the most convenient and fastest method be to directly eliminate this person?

Why did it feel like the System meant it more as hoping that he could redeem this person and not let him walk down the original path.

Mo燚 thought this in his heart, but said nothing. For some reason, he did not want to ask those things that were unfavorable to Bai Ren. However, there was still one thing that he could not help but care about.

“System, I heard you explain that whole plot thing in detail before, and it never said Bai Ren would be hurt this badly!”

At this, 005 froze for a moment, seemingly checking something. After a while, it explained to Mo燚, “Host, just now the System’s investigation found that the world we are in is even more complicated than that. There was a loophole in the small world, and someone reborn.

This reborn person brutally harmed the original protagonist, accelerating the world’s collapse.”

According to what the System said, the reborn person in the small world was called Jiang Mingda. He was the male lead’s cousin, and in his last life, because of embezzlement, he was sent to prison early by the protagonist, and then accidentally died inside.

After being reborn once, Jiang Mingda had foreknowledge of many things. In order to take revenge on the protagonist and seize the Bai family, he used countless underhanded methods. Later, he even killed everyone in the Bai family.

And Jiang Mingda’s rebirth also changed Bai Ren’s fate.

Although he had been reborn, because he died early in his last life, he did not know what happened later, and only thought Bai Ren was the male lead’s good assistant, so he chose him as the first target.

So he had people intercept Bai Ren during a business trip and break both his legs.

Originally, Bai Ren’s legs were not without the possibility of recovery, but Jiang Mingda bought off the local doctor treating him, causing Bai Ren’s injuries to worsen during the process of being sent for treatment, and thus he completely lost the ability to walk.

After that, Jiang Mingda no longer took him seriously.

But merely breaking his legs clearly could not stop Bai Ren’s plan.

After the male and female leads died, Jiang Mingda also died at Bai Ren’s hands, and even more miserably than in his last life.

And this time, without the obstruction of the male and female leads, Bai Ren’s virus was developed even earlier, accelerating the fate of the small world’s destruction.

“So, Host, your task is to stop the villain from destroying the world and let him have a happy later life.”

At this, Mo燚 nodded. Although he did not really understand what romance fiction, overbearing CEO, virus, and so on meant, he no longer resisted this so-called task.

And he understood that it was the guy called Jiang Mingda who had harmed Bai Ren.

He silently made a note of this person in his heart, and Mo燚 also knew that his understanding of this world was insufficient, so he simply sought help from the System.

He pointed at Bai Ren and asked, “005, then what should I do now? How can I save him?”

The System hesitated for a moment. Normally, when encountering this kind of thing, their first reaction should be to directly call the emergency number and send him to a hospital.

But in such a small place, there were only two or three reliable hospitals to begin with, and Jiang Mingda had people watching all of them. If they really sent the unconscious Bai Ren there, it would only let him be harmed a second time.

And right now, although Bai Ren looked miserable, aside from his legs, the rest were all superficial injuries, and losing consciousness was only temporary. Mo燚 still did not understand anything.

So the best thing now was to first change places and take good care of the villain, let him wake up quickly, and the rest, Bai Ren would arrange and handle very well himself.

So 005 replied, “Host, you need money, and a place to stay…”

The more it said, the more guilty the System felt. It currently lacked energy and could not form a physical body in the small world. Although it could give Mo燚 some help through the virtual network, the key was that Mo燚 was now a beggar. Even if the System invaded the hotel’s system, the front desk would not receive people like them.

Mere things like identification, Mo燚 could not produce.

Thinking of this, the System became even more embarrassed, feeling that it was truly too useless.

Looking at 005’s hesitant expression, Mo燚 frowned.

He did not have money, and he did not have a place to stay, but he seemed to have thought of where to get these things.

Looking at the man with his eyes tightly shut in front of him, Mo燚 asked the System, “Those people who beat Bai Ren like this, where are they now?”

On a street somewhere in Shencheng, seven or eight hoodlums were smoking and strolling along, looking like they were in quite a good mood.

A yellow-haired bucktooth with a buzz cut smiled ingratiatingly at the man beside him, who wore a leather jacket and had a broad back and a sturdy build. “Boss, this time we really took on a good job. Just breaking a pretty boy’s two legs was actually worth this much money!”

“Exactly, exactly! And it was paid in cash too, Boss really has skill!”

The dark-skinned underling beside him touched the wad of money in his pocket. While flattering the boss with a buzz cut, he squinted a little jealously, thinking that even they, as underlings, could get so much from the boss, and who knew how much the boss himself had taken.

However, none of these people noticed that when they walked into a certain secluded alley, the red lights on the nearby high surveillance cameras were flickering out one by one…

A patch of shadow fell not far away, and a person stood less than ten meters from them, blocking their path.

The buzz cut came back to his senses from the flattery of the underling beside him. When he turned his head and saw that the other side was only a thin little beggar whose face was so dirty it could not be made out, he immediately relaxed.

With a sneer, he took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and tossed it on the ground, saying carelessly, “Here, I’m in a good mood today, this is your reward.”

The buzz-cut man’s attitude was arrogant. The surrounding underlings immediately burst into strange laughter when they saw this. Bucktooth even chimed in with a face full of malice, “Exactly, kid, you’ve struck it rich. Why aren’t you quickly kneeling and crawling over to thank us!”

As soon as Bucktooth’s words fell, there were many more jeering voices beside him.

Mo燚 looked coldly at the line of people opposite him, his round eyes surging with dark red killing aura, brewing a storm.

No one saw his movements clearly. It was as if only in an instant, the boy opposite had already rushed in front of them, suddenly lunging up and punching the buzz-cut man squarely in the face, actually knocking this bear-like, tall and burly man to the ground.

Mo燚’s attack was completely unexpected, so before they could even counterattack, three of them had already been taken down by Mo燚.

The remaining few were all stunned, because to them, the situation in front of them was simply too unbelievable.

What they did not know was that Mo燚, after all, could not be considered an ordinary human. Even if he could not use his original power and no longer had sharp claws, he still had combat instincts!

Senses far sharper than those of ordinary people made these people’s attacks appear as slow motion in Mo燚’s eyes.

When Bucktooth not far away saw this, he quickly swung a fist at him, but the boy only tilted his head slightly and dodged the attack.

The next second, he directly grabbed Bucktooth’s wrist and forcefully pulled it forward.

The man immediately let out a scream. In pain, he sat down on the ground with a thud, his wrist hanging limply, clearly dislocated.

Mo燚 was skilled at fighting, but he also understood that his current body was not as it had been before, and was very fragile, so more often he relied on clever force, striking hard at the joints and pressure points of these people’s bodies, specifically hitting places that would make them hurt even more.

The narrow walls on both sides of the alley even became his aid, allowing him to easily leap onto the wall and jump into the air, so that he could borrow the force to kick down heavily.

He moved quickly and ruthlessly, and although the other side clearly had seven or eight people, they were still beaten with no power to fight back.

Thinking of the harm Bai Ren had suffered, a flash of scarlet passed through the boy’s eyes.

After venting enough of his anger, he even kicked all of these people’s legs broken, and then briskly put the next strike on their heads, easily knocking them all unconscious.

The trash bins on both sides of the alley also suffered in the fight, knocked askew in all directions, with garbage scattered everywhere. Quite a bit of it landed on these already unconscious hoodlums.

Garbage and “garbage” mixed together, looking especially fitting.

“Host is amazing!”

005 stared dumbfounded at all of this, so excited that its little tail was spinning like a windmill.

It knew its host was powerful, but it had not expected that, after losing his memory and only having an ordinary human body replicated by the System’s energy, the host could still be this powerful!!
