I Became the Henchman of a Novel’s Villain

With Chu Yun present, the guards felt emboldened. However, only the initial gatekeeper knew why Li Yonggang was here today!

That security guard hurriedly ran up to Chu Yun and said, “Captain Chu, today, Young Master Li and his men …”

Before he could finish, Chu Yun’s eyes narrowed sharply: “It’s you?!”

That’s right, Chu Yun immediately recognized Bai Zhou, who was standing half a step behind Li Yonggang.

With the intense training Chu Yun had undergone in the mountains, his memory was exceptional. Even in the dim lighting of yesterday’s incident, Bai Zhou’s face had been etched into Chu Yun’s mind.

Chu Yun looked at Bai Zhou, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The protagonist, after all, had brains. Unlike a typical villain, he wouldn’t blindly start trouble without assessing the situation first.

He turned back to the gatekeeper and asked, “What were you about to say?”

“Oh, right!”

The gatekeeper quickly explained that Li Yonggang wasn’t here to cause trouble but to apologize to Mu Qingqing.

Hearing this, a flash of disbelief flickered in Chu Yun’s eyes: “Apologize? Li Yonggang? The infamous trust fund brat of the Magic City is here to apologize?”

He glanced at the gatekeeper and asked, “Do you believe that?”

“Well …”

The gatekeeper was at a loss for words.

Of course not! Who could believe that?

Even if Bai Zhou, reading this as a novel from a god’s perspective, would never have believed it either. Li Yonggang coming to apologize? That’s like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year!

However, since there was no direct provocation, Chu Yun, with the demeanor of a true novel protagonist, didn’t initiate any conflict.

Instead, he took a step forward and addressed Li Yonggang: “Since Young Master Li is here to apologize, as Head of Security for President Mu, it is my duty to ease her burdens.”

“Young Master Li, you can leave. Our President Mu will not accept your apology!”

Hearing Chu Yun’s words, Li Yonggang’s brows furrowed instantly.

At that moment, one of his lackeys stepped forward, glaring disdainfully at Chu Yun: “Oh? Since when does a mere security captain get to make decisions for his master?”

Ah, now this is more like a villain!

With just one snide comment, the lackey had equated Chu Yun to nothing more than Mu Qingqing’s “dog”!

Chu Yun’s eyes flashed coldly.

He nonchalantly raised a finger to his ear and casually cleaned it, as if he hadn’t even noticed Li Yonggang’s lackey. He spoke to the guards behind him: “Who let this dog yap away while its master is talking?”

“You!!” Like every typical villain’s henchman, Li Yonggang’s lackey immediately exploded with anger.

The group of over ten men behind him stepped forward aggressively!

Li Yonggang’s own fury was rising, but just then, he caught Bai Zhou’s meaningful glance.

While Li Yonggang was still puzzling over it, Bai Zhou suddenly dashed forward.

Without any unnecessary motions, Bai Zhou swung his right hand diagonally upwards.

Smack!!  

A crisp, loud slap landed squarely on the face of the original protagonist, Chu Yun.

Even though Chu Yun had been trained, he had just turned back to his guards after showing off, only to meet Bai Zhou’s open palm.

Chu Yun was completely stunned by the slap.

His head tilted slightly, and five white marks slowly appeared on his cheek before gradually fading.

Although Chu Yun’s body was tough from training, the physical damage from the slap was minimal.

However!

The humiliation was immense!

At that moment, Bai Zhou waved his right hand slightly and said, “Your mouth is dirty, so I’m disciplining you on behalf of your master!”

In truth, Bai Zhou was secretly laughing to himself. This was exactly what a villain’s sidekick should do!

Slap you—what for? No reason! Just to provoke you, what can you do about it?!

Bai Zhou then subtly glanced at Li Yonggang.

Li Yonggang was just as shocked. He hadn’t expected Bai Zhou, who had been silent until now, to suddenly slap the arrogant security captain!

It felt so satisfying~

Seeing Bai Zhou’s glance, Li Yonggang quickly caught on, coughing lightly: “Bai Zhou, that’s enough! Even when disciplining a dog, you should show respect for the owner! Besides, we’re here to apologize today!!”

Though his words sounded serious, Li Yonggang subtly gave Bai Zhou a thumbs up from a hidden angle, mouthing, “Nicely done!”

Bai Zhou smirked slightly and humbly replied, “You’re right, Young Master.”

At this point, the group of security guards behind Chu Yun were dumbfounded! They knew just how powerful Chu Yun was!

During their training, this cold-faced drill sergeant had instilled fear in their hearts.

But now! Their captain, the fearsome drill sergeant, had been slapped right in the face?!

What the hell!

In an instant, they felt their faith in Chu Yun begin to crumble!

Chu Yun, now fully aware of the multiple layers of humiliation, glared coldly.

Without warning, his right leg shot out with lightning speed, cutting through the air with a sharp whoosh!

After being slapped, how could he not retaliate? Where would that leave him as the protagonist?

This kick—Chu Yun was certain—would break several of Bai Zhou’s ribs!

But just as his kick was about to land, an urgent female voice rang out: “Stop!! Chu Yun, don’t you dare!!”
