Villain Is Bodyguard of Heroine’s Poisonous Stepmother Chapter 65: Gaining Leverage Over Xiao Qingxue

White Rose didnt ask where these two won ca from, understanding all too well the principle that the more one knows, the faster they et their demise.

From now on, these two will stay by your side, ensuring your safety, Chen Luo told White Rose.

Alright. White Rose couldnt, and didnt dare, refuse.

She realized these won were likely sent by Chen Luo to monitor her. Indeed, Chen Luo had summoned Qiuzhu and Dongju for this very purpose and didnt even spend his own money on it. The one billion had co from White Roses funds.

Take this. Chen Luo presented a round, white pill exuding a faint fragrance of dicinal herbs. White Rose hesitated, wondering if it was poisoned.

Chen Luo read her thoughts, Dont worry, its not poisonous. Its specially formulated to treat your injuries.

The punch earlier must have caused internal injuries to White Rose, not to ntion the bruise marks on her neck from being choked. Consuming the pill would heal these wounds. It had cost Chen Luo 100,000 yuan to trade for it from the system. A bit of sweetness to follow the harshness.

After swallowing the pill, White Rose felt a warm sensation throughout her body. The bruising on her neck disappeared, and even the pain in her abdon was gone. She felt incredibly comfortable. Even so of her old, minor ailnts seed to have vanished. It was like a miracle drug.

Now, mobilize whoever you can to help with sothing, Chen Luo said, pulling out a photograph. Keep an eye on this person. Monitor all his movents closely. Hes very powerful, so be careful not to be discovered by him.

The person in the photo was, of course, Ye Chen.

Is it just surveillance? White Rose asked Chen Luo, looking at the picture of Ye Chen.

Correct, just keep an eye on him, and dont engage him rashly. Chen Luo warned White Rose. He knew that if White Roses underlings clashed with Ye Chen, they would undoubtedly be severely defeated and end up gifting their heads to their enemy.

By the way, is White Rose your real na? Chen Luo asked as he was leaving.

No, my real na is Bai ixiang, she replied.

White Rose was rely a nickna from the underworld; her real na, Bai ixiang, was known to only a few. Most people had co to accept White Rose as her actual na.

Thats a beautiful na, Chen Luo complinted. He instructed Qiuzhu and Dongju to follow White Roses commands and then left the Rose Bar.

Watching Chen Luo leave, Bai ixiang felt a sense of relief mixed with an indescribable emotion. Her pride, built up over the years, was shattered rcilessly by Chen Luo. Facing death made her realize that, after all, she was just a human being.

Once inside his car, Chen Luo mused to himself, Ive really risen to a higher level now.

From having nothing when he first arrived in this world to his current power and influence, it hadnt even been a month.

No matter how powerful the protagonists halo is, it cant compete with my cheats, he said confidently. As he grew stronger, Ye Chen beca less and less of a concern. Although killing Ye Chen was difficult due to his protagonists halo, he couldnt outmatch Chen Luo.

However, Chen Luo didnt let success go to his head. He remained cautious. As long as Ye Chen was alive, Chen Luo couldnt let his guard down. Dealing with a protagonist was tricky, a mont of carelessness could allow them to grow to a level beyond his control.

Back in the villa, Zhao Yingxuan had returned to the secret room once more.

You tricked .

Upon seeing Zhao Yingxuan, Xiao Qingxue glared at her with murderous eyes. Rembering Chen Luos mocking her for being foolish and being deceived by Zhao Yingxuans low-level tactics, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Youre just too stupid, Zhao Yingxuan said, delivering a crushing blow to Xiao Qingxue with her words.

Fuming, Xiao Qingxue glared at Zhao Yingxuan, who was unfazed by the murderous look. With Chuni by her side, Zhao Yingxuan felt confident that even if Xiao Qingxue attacked, she wouldnt stand a chance against Chuni.

Dont be angry. After all, everyone gets fooled at tis.

In truth, Xiao Qingxue had been tricked because she panicked after being kidnapped. It was hard for anyone to stay calm in such a situation.

Ive co to show you sothing interesting. Do you want to see it? Zhao Yingxuan took out a laptop, smiling at Xiao Qingxue.

Trying to deceive again? Do you think Ill fall for the sa trick twice? Xiao Qingxue asked, expressionless.

Just take a look, Zhao Yingxuan suggested, turning up the volu deliberately.

A video played, causing Xiao Qingxues face to flush with embarrassnt. It was a video of her. Xiao Qingxue, gritting her teeth, tried to snatch the laptop away, but Zhao Yingxuan stepped back, avoiding her grasp.

Take a good look at your own performance. I think your acting needs improvent. You can co to for tips in the future, Zhao Yingxuan teased.

Enraged, Xiao Qingxues face turned red as she attempted to attack Zhao Yingxuan but was quickly subdued by Chuni.

Too bad you cant hurt . Annoying, isnt it?

Zhao Yingxuan was adept at provoking others, and Xiao Qingxue, losing all semblance of her usual composed deanor, was nearly driven to explode in anger.

What do you want? Xiao Qingxue asked furiously.

I want you to obediently listen to , how about that? Zhao Yingxuan leaned in close to Xiao Qingxue and proposed.

The thought of Xiao Qingxue being utterly subservient to her made Zhao Yingxuans spirits soar uncontrollably.

Youre dreaming, Xiao Qingxue retorted.

Dreaming, am I? Zhao Yingxuan sneered. Should I promote your movie by sharing it in the companys internal group chat, perhaps?

Xiao Qingxues face changed instantly. In the eyes of everyone at the company, Xiao Qingxue maintained an impeccable image. If Zhao Yingxuan were to release the video, her life would be utterly ruined. She would rather die than face such sha.

I will never obey you willingly. Id rather die, Xiao Qingxue remained defiant.

Perhaps you should reconsider your terms, she conceded, despite her reluctance. She couldnt bear the thought of the video being publicized.

The corners of Zhao Yingxuans mouth curled up slightly. She had no intention of sharing the video with others. It would upset a certain soone, and she was well aware of ns possessiveness. However, using it to threaten Xiao Qingxue proved to be very effective.

Once soone compromises for the first ti, a second and third ti follows, possibly endlessly.

Watching Xiao Qingxue, once so noble in character and status, fall from grace brought a sense of achievent to Zhao Yingxuan. Whether it was the effect of her villainous aura or her inherent wickedness, Zhao Yingxuan reveled in doing evil deeds.

Qingxue, I am your stepmother after all. I wouldnt want to be too hard on you. Co on, call Mom, she taunted.

Xiao Qingxues face contorted in disgust. She had never deigned to call Zhao Yingxuan Mom before, and she found it impossible to do so now. She had only one mother, and it certainly wasnt this vile, fox-like woman. Reluctant as she was, Xiao Qingxue found herself cornered, with Zhao Yingxuan holding her Achilles heel.
