I Became the Henchman of a Novel’s Villain

Chapter 57 – My Brother Zhou sacrificed even his charm to save me?!

“Brother Zhou, what are you doing here?”

Bai Zhou froze for a moment. What the heck! Li Yonggang?! What is he doing at this hotel?! And how did he just so happen to walk by this room?! With a woman with a heavy make up on, no less!

“This is bad!” Li Yonggang, whose eyes were bandaged, had already seen past Bai Zhou and spotted Zhou Siyun in her bathrobe!

Li Yonggang’s eyes went wide! He looked at Zhou Siyun, then at Bai Zhou!

Just as Bai Zhou was about to speak, Li Yonggang raised his hand, cutting him off. Then, glaring at Zhou Siyun, he growled, “Zhou Siyun, I never thought you’d be this kind of woman!!”

“What? What?!” Both Zhou Siyun and Bai Zhou were stunned by this accusation.

Zhou Siyun glanced down, realizing, “Oh no!” She was still wearing her bathrobe! And she was in a hotel room with Bai Zhou! How could anyone not jump to conclusions in a situation like this?!

“Li Yonggang, listen to me …”

Just as Zhou Siyun started to speak, Li Yonggang cut her off with a louder voice: “You’re trying to marry into my family? Absolutely impossible! And now, you even seduce my brother?! You shameless, fickle woman!”

Bai Zhou: ???

When there are question marks over my head, it’s not because I have a problem—you have a problem!

Zhou Siyun, already mentally shattered from being toyed with by Bai Zhou all day, completely broke down after being called a fickle woman by Li Yonggang.

She snapped, nearly hysterical, and screamed: “Li Yonggang! How dare you call me that?! And what about this woman here?! My father must have been blind to set me up for an arranged marriage with you! I’m telling you now! I will never marry you!”

“Get out!!!” With a loud bang, Zhou Siyun slammed the door shut.

As soon as the door closed, a thumbs-up appeared in front of Bai Zhou. Li Yonggang’s expression had completely changed from before. He grabbed Bai Zhou and quickly pulled him toward the end of the hallway.

When they reached the elevator, Li Yonggang glanced back at the door to room 206, confirming that Zhou Siyun hadn’t come out.

He then gave Bai Zhou a big thumbs-up and exclaimed, “Brother Zhou! You’re amazing!! Brother Zhou!! I knew you wouldn’t abandon me!! You even sacrificed your charm to save me! You’re a true brother!!”

Bai Zhou: !!!

Unbelievable. Has Li Yonggang gone mad?!

Never mind that Bai Zhou hadn’t done anything with Zhou Siyun. But even if he had, that woman was supposed to be Li Yonggang’s future fiancée! If someone slept with your fiancée, you should be outraged, not thanking them!

What a guy!!

Li Yonggang’s logic was truly baffling!

At this moment, the woman clinging to Li Yonggang’s arm looked curiously at Bai Zhou and asked, “Young Master Yonggang, who’s this handsome guy?”

Li Yonggang was still pondering how to introduce Bai Zhou when Bai Zhou himself, smiling, said, “I’m just Young Master Li’s follower, nothing special.”

“Oh~” The woman’s expression immediately turned to disdain as she pouted and said, “So, you’re just a lackey.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhou remained calm, but Li Yonggang’s expression changed dramatically! In an instant, he pulled his arm from the woman’s grasp and raised his hand.

Slap!

A sharp sound echoed as the woman spun a full 360 degrees in place. With a thud, she fell to the ground, her head buzzing. Her mind went blank, not even registering what had just happened. Slowly, she raised a hand to cover her now swollen cheek, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of her mouth.

“You MLGB*! You filthy woman! Watch your mouth! Do you know who he is?! He may work for my family, but he’s my brother! My Brother Zhou! You dare disrespect my big brother? Slap yourself! Now!!”

[*a euphemism for the highly offensive phrase “妈了个逼” (mā le gè bī), roughly translating to “f* your mother**” in English. It is a vulgar insult used to express extreme anger or disdain.]

Seeing Li Yonggang’s furious outburst, the woman finally snapped back to reality. Tears of fear flowed instantly from her eyes.

Who was Li Yonggang? She knew all too well. She was also fully aware of what kind of methods he was capable of.

Fearing for her life, the woman immediately knelt on the ground. With a flurry of slaps, she began hitting herself hard in the face, all the while crying and begging: “I’m sorry, big brother! I’m sorry, it was my foul mouth! I’m sorry!!” And so she continued, over and over again, without stopping.

Even Bai Zhou, watching from the side, felt a little uncomfortable. But what surprised Bai Zhou the most was still Li Yonggang’s reaction.

Goodness, you’re clearly the big brother here! How did you end up calling me big brother?!

It was clear that Li Yonggang was now fully “convinced” and “grateful” toward Bai Zhou! Just as Bai Zhou was about to raise his hand to stop the woman from hurting herself, Li Yonggang grabbed Bai Zhou and pulled him into the elevator.

As the doors closed, Bai Zhou could still hear the sound of slaps echoing from outside.

Li Yonggang turned to Bai Zhou and said, “Don’t worry about her. That woman slept with me and now has the nerve to insult you? She’s asking for it!”

Bai Zhou looked at him strangely and said, “You’re not planning to kill her, are you?”

Li Yonggang paused, then looked seriously at Bai Zhou and said, “Brother Zhou, if you want her dead, I’ll arrange it right away!”
