That’s right!
Even female leads related to the protagonist could generate collapse points.
Originally, Mo Cinian had planned to pursue Lin Qingqiu, the female lead, put a green hat on Ye Chen, and make him collapse. But now… things had become much more interesting.
Since the female lead could also generate collapse points, it gave him a lot more room to maneuver! Moreover, the female lead seemed to be even more emotional, and the collapse points were significant.
In just a short time, he had already collected 6,000 points.
Compared to her, Ye Chen was basically useless!
However, seeing the beautiful girl crying did make Mo Cinian feel a little guilty. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Lin Qingqiu’s eyes.
“There’s actually one more thing I haven’t told you… I was afraid you’d be too heartbroken.”
Lin Qingqiu lifted her face. The light had vanished from her eyes, as if she had been completely broken.
“What is it? Just say it,” she said, her voice devoid of any emotion.
“Wasn’t your grandfather usually in good health? Have you ever thought about why he suddenly fell ill?”
Mo Cinian thought to himself — maybe the system was right. He really didn’t have any shame left.
But he didn’t even need to say anything more — Lin Qingqiu’s eyes already gleamed with a fierce light.
“Grandpa… they killed him too?”
“They’re his own children… how could they be so heartless? Then again, they’re just a bunch of beasts. If they could kill their siblings, what wouldn’t they do for money? I’ll kill them!”
Sometimes, imagination was terrifying. Mo Cinian looked at Lin Qingqiu’s completely blackened expression and felt a slight chill.
Ahem… he hadn’t said anything — she had come to that conclusion herself!
Why did her grandfather suddenly fall ill? She should go ask Ye Chen. That was the effect of Ye Chen’s ‘Little Miracle Doctor’ halo — if he didn’t save people for a day, he’d feel uncomfortable. He could even create a serious illness where there was none.
…
“So what do you plan to do? You’re not really going to kill them, are you?” Mo Cinian asked casually, no longer teasing her.
Lin Qingqiu didn’t respond. Sometimes silence was even more frightening than shouting.
After a long moment, Lin Qingqiu seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head, her gaze toward Mo Cinian now filled with gratitude.
“Brother Mo, thank you for telling me the truth.”
That soft, sweet voice calling him ‘Brother Mo’ was enough to make anyone’s heart race, especially paired with her pitiful appearance. It made people want to scoop her up and hold her tightly.
But she wriggled free from Mo Cinian’s arm and stood up.
“I won’t kill them, but I also won’t let them off easily!”
As she spoke, she grabbed the stack of documents on the table and prepared to leave, not even bothering to take her bag.
Her movements were swift and smooth.
“Hm?”
Mo Cinian’s lips curled into a smile as he caught her little maneuver.
The little fox had finally shown her tail, huh?
Trying to snatch his stuff right under his nose — was that polite?
He immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Though she looked pitiful, with swollen eyes like a broken doll, she was clearly scheming. That stack of documents was her greatest weapon against Lin Hua and the others.
And all that calling him ‘Brother Mo’ earlier — clearly calculated.
“Uh…”
Mo Cinian’s grip was like an iron clamp; Lin Qingqiu couldn’t shake him off.
The scene turned awkward.
Lin Qingqiu didn’t intend to let go either — she knew the value of the documents in her hands. If she wanted to bring down Lin Hua and the others, this was the only solid evidence she had.
“Young Master Mo, can we talk?”
Lin Qingqiu took a deep breath. She dropped the act — no more ‘Brother Mo’ sweet talk.
“Talk? What do you have to negotiate with me? What do you have to offer?”
Mo Cinian’s tone instantly became that of a shrewd capitalist, leaving Lin Qingqiu speechless.
She had rehearsed so many lines in her mind, ready to play the emotional card, thinking Mo Cinian still had feelings for her since he had pursued her before. But now… it seemed she had overestimated her charm.
“I… I really need this to take down Lin Hua. Please, I’m begging you!”
The girl started pleading pitifully, and any other man might have surrendered immediately.
But unfortunately for her, she was facing Mo Cinian.
“Heh… do you really think that with just this little bit of evidence, you can take Lin Hua down?”
Mo Cinian sneered, his eyes full of mockery. New chapters come out on g.com first.
“Unless something unexpected happens, Lin Hua will soon take over Lin Corporation. What do you have to fight him with? So naive it’s almost cute.”
It had to be said — Mo Cinian’s words shattered her beautiful illusions.
…
“Look at you, your socks are all dirty,” Mo Cinian said when he saw her fall silent, and then he started acting again.
He pulled Lin Qingqiu directly into his arms.
“Ah~”
If it were any other time, if a man dared to touch her like this, she would have kicked him away. But now… Lin Qingqiu stayed obedient, like a docile little cat.
“Doesn’t it hurt walking barefoot without shoes?”
Mo Cinian reached out and lifted one of her legs, pulling off the now filthy sock to reveal her pale, delicate foot.
As expected of a female lead — whether her legs or her feet, they were flawless — like they had been drawn in a manga.
It was enough to drive any perverted old man crazy.
“You… why are you taking off my socks?”
“I heard you sprained your ankle. Let me take a look.”
“……”
Lin Qingqiu dared not speak in anger. She understood now — she couldn’t defeat Lin Hua and the others on her own.
Mo Cinian was right — even if she had evidence that they killed her parents, it wouldn’t matter. After taking over Lin Corporation, Lin Hua would be too powerful.
She was no match for them.
And just at that moment, Mo Cinian mischievously tickled the sole of her foot.
“Ah… mmm!”
Tears welled up again as she struggled to suppress the twin torments of physical and emotional stress, biting her lip hard.
Mo Cinian leaned in close to her ear and whispered.
“Qingqiu, you don’t want your enemies to walk free, do you?”
