I became a villain

Xia Siyu was stunned.

It wasn't until the sports car had driven a hundred meters away that she finally came to her senses.

She had somehow ended up in Jiang Hao's car? And she had been intimidated by Jiang Hao's assertive attitude?

Immediately, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Hao, who wore a calm expression, planning to scold him.

But what use would that be?

Xia Siyu sighed softly, realizing it was just futile.

Wait.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

Just now, when Jiang Hao was talking to that big man, it seemed like he mentioned someone called "Master Li"?

Who is Master Li?

Xia Siyu was puzzled.

With the Xia family's power, they were naturally very familiar with the well-known figures in Liu City. But there was no one named Master Li on that list!

"To make me believe, you even invented a person? You really put a lot of effort into this!" Xia Siyu put on a cold expression again.

Jiang Hao didn't bother to argue with her. After pressing the gas pedal harder, he directly sent Xia Siyu back to the Xia family.

"Be careful recently. Sometimes don't be too clever for your own good!" Jiang Hao said before she got out of the car.

After Jiang Hao left, Xia's mother quickly came out.

Looking at the sports car that was driving away, she smiled broadly: "See, young couples fight sometimes, that's normal! Look at how nice Jiang Hao is, clearly feeling wronged, but still specifically sent you home!"

Xia Siyu didn't respond, her gaze vacant.

She was naturally intelligent, and now, looking back at what happened today, there was indeed something strange.

First of all, when talking to the big man, she clearly saw confusion in the latter's eyes. Secondly, Jiang Hao had frequently sent people to follow her, but he had never denied it.

And if all of this was just to win her favor, why didn't Jiang Hao defend himself at all?

Could she have misunderstood?

After all, Jiang Hao's change was quite obvious, lacking the flattery and possessiveness from before, and now there was more genuine concern.

...

Back at home, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's incident was indeed dangerous. If he had been a moment later, who knew what might have happened?

This was actually a butterfly effect.

Because Jiang Hao had removed the bodyguards, that was why Master Li dared to openly send someone to follow Xia Siyu.

No one knew Master Li's full name because he wasn't originally from Liushi.

As described in the original text, Master Li was ruthless, narrow-minded, and selfish, and had only recently come to Liushi to expand his influence.

A while ago, Xia Siyu had spent a large sum of money to buy land to build a factory.

Little did she know, that piece of land had already been eyed by Master Li!

Knowing that the Xia family wasn't a simple entity, Master Li couldn't swallow his anger, so he used various methods to vent his frustration.

In the original plot, the threatening letters sent to Xia Siyu were also from Master Li.

As for the Xia family's retaliation? Master Li wasn't afraid at all.

Without any background, who would dare to clash with a powerful family like the Xia family, especially so early in Liushi?

Of course, in the original story, Master Li was severely dealt with by the protagonist Ye Feng, and his ending was tragic. Xia Siyu's heart was captured because of this.

How could Jiang Hao let this happen?

"Counterattack Points +20!"

The system's notification suddenly sounded.

This wasn't surprising to Jiang Hao.

He had known for a long time that Xia Siyu was very smart and would eventually notice something strange about today's events. The reason for his aggressive attitude was simply because the impression of him was already so negative.

The next day.

Jiang Hao woke up early and drove alone to the southern outskirts.

The car stopped in front of a newly built factory, and he walked inside, heading straight to the deepest part of the factory.

"I want to see Master Li!" Jiang Hao said to the two big men standing by the door.

Coincidentally, these two big men were the ones who had followed Xia Siyu yesterday!

"Jiang Shao, I really have to look at you with new eyes," the leader of the big men grinned, his tone tinged with mockery. "People in high society call you 'the artist'. Aside from pleasing Xia Siyu, all you do is play the piano and appreciate antiques. But today, I have to admire your courage!"

"Didn't Master Li tell you not to gossip? Or you might end up mute?" Jiang Hao's eyes turned cold.

This was Master Li's base. Since he dared to come alone, it meant he had enough confidence.

Moreover, the big man was just a dog under Master Li. If Jiang Hao didn't like him, he could just curse!

Since he was a high and mighty young master, he had to act like one. Not every Tom, Dick, and Harry could make fun of him.

The big man sneered as he looked back at Jiang Hao, knowing that this wasn't a place for reckless behavior and that Master Li was waiting.

With a dismissive smile, the big man opened the door.

Inside the room, the light was dim, and smoke filled the air.

Sitting behind a desk, which looked dark as ink, was a skinny old man with gray hair at his temples, smoking an old cigarette.

At first glance, the old man seemed fragile, like a candle in the wind, as if he didn't have much time left.

But Jiang Hao knew that this was a tough character, a madman who would cut off relations with anyone and not care about the consequences when he went crazy!

Walking into the office, Jiang Hao first opened the windows, then calmly sat down on the guest sofa.

Cough!

Master Li coughed intensely, blowing out smoke as he casually observed Jiang Hao, pretending to be indifferent and said: "Jiang family's young master, what brings you to see me?"

Today, Jiang Hao was wearing a fur coat and a crisp white suit.

With this combination and his appearance, he gave off a faint aura of a domineering CEO.

If it weren't for the current situation, Jiang Hao would've said to Master Li: "I don't care what you think, I only care what I think!"

Shaking off that funny thought, Jiang Hao straightened his collar and replied, "I'm here to ask for a gift."

"The Jiang family's company is worth hundreds of billions, and your mother's family is even more powerful. Why would Jiang Shao come to ask me for a gift?" Master Li sneered in a strange voice.

"Your men have been following my fiancée. You owe me an explanation."

"Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want, Jiang Shao?"

"An apology! And…"

At this point, Jiang Hao looked toward the door: "One of your men's hand, and his tongue!"

"…"

Master Li's body froze for a moment, a fierce glint appearing in his murky eyes.

He didn't argue with Jiang Hao. Instead, he suddenly got up, opened his desk drawer, and took out a silver handgun.

Click!

He released the safety, loaded the chamber, and pointed it at Jiang Hao!

The movements were smooth and swift, showing that he was an expert with guns!

"Ha ha, I, Master Li, have been through a lot. You're the first person to dare to talk like that in front of me! Do you believe I'll shoot you right here?" Master Li laughed, exposing his few golden teeth.

"No, you won't," Jiang Hao replied calmly.

"Oh?"

Master Li narrowed his eyes, his finger now on the trigger: "You think I won't dare? Won't dare to offend the Jiang family?"

"No, it's not worth it!" Jiang Hao answered again.

"Why isn't it worth it?"

"You and the people behind you have been living on the edge for years. Many people call you a madman, but I know you're crazy because there's enough profit! But if you kill me? Not only will you have to run, but there will be no benefit."
