Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 68

He practiced at home countless times to prepare for this day, using Gu Yuan's memories as a template, and his performance was flawless.

Gu Jie also came over to greet Ling Yun.

Don't let his recent college graduation fool you; he's quick-witted. Everyone says Ling Yun got lucky taking over Xinghe Group, but Gu Jie knows that almost all of Xinghe Group's recent big moves are related to Ling Yun, and the other party is definitely not as simple as many people imagine.

"Chairman Ling, my name is Gu Jie."

"Yes, I know you, the future young master of the family."

Ling Yun shook hands with him, and Gu Jie was terrified: "I'm just a little follower, how can I be worthy of the title of young master!"

His mother smiled brightly, and the other relatives understood each other perfectly. Only Gu Tianchen had a gloomy face, as if he wanted to kill Gu Jie with his eyes.

Name: Gu Tianchen

[Combat Power]: 5

[Special]: Second Generation of the Capital (Purple)

[Identity]: Male lead in "The Rich Second Generation Villain"

[Destiny]: The eldest son of the Gu family (Sanyang Group), a rich second-generation villain who obtained the system. He once tried to prove his sincerity to Ling Shuang by undergoing vasectomy, but failed and became a laughing stock. After activating the system, he repaired himself and continuously improved himself through the system, eventually becoming a powerful overlord.

[Recent Opportunity]: Publicly contradicting Gu Yuan resulted in a system reward.

[Luck]: 7500/8000

The reason why the rich second-generation villain system was chosen by the system is that although the system is weak, it is enough for use on Earth.

This was also the first time Ling Yun had met someone in the same industry. He smiled and looked at Gu Tianchen: "This must be the young master, right?"

The young man addressed the two men differently. Gu Jie was very likely to be the future chairman of the Sanyang Group and was also someone Gu Yuan was grooming, deserving the title of "Young Master".

Gu Tianchen is a discarded pawn, respected only because of his bloodline. The term "young master" is more of a mockery of him.

Gu Tianchen didn't catch any of this. At the moment, he was asking the system about Ling Yun's true identity. They were already so close, there had to be some feedback, right?

As a result, the system that usually acts all high and mighty didn't utter a single word this time.

"System? System? Holy crap!"

Gu Tianchen was speechless. How could he let us down at such a crucial moment?

Once everyone entered the room, Gu Tianchen didn't even have the right to sit at the head table.

The old Gu Yuan would never have done this; after all, he's his own son, so he should at least have saved some face.

But Gu Yuan is different now. It's a life-or-death situation for us, why would I give you face?

Gu Tianchen looked at his father and younger brother chatting and laughing with Ling Yun, feeling a lump in his throat. He went outside to clear his head.

"System, come out now!"

[What's up?]

"You finally spoke! Why were you ignoring me earlier?"

[I think I just fainted; there must have been a problem with the program settings.]

"Then do you know Ling Yun's identity?"

When Ling Yun was mentioned, Gu Tianchen realized that his system seemed to be somewhat afraid of him.

[Host, from now on, under no circumstances should you oppose him. This is my warning to you.]

"Why?" Gu Tianchen was greatly shocked.

The system fell silent, leaving Gu Tianchen standing dumbfounded in the courtyard.

After Ling Yun drank a glass of wine, Gu Yuan laughed heartily, praising Ling Yun's incredible capacity for alcohol, and then asked Gu Jie to pour him more wine.

His actions almost indicated that Gu Jie would take over in the future. Most of the relatives who knew about their relationship just smiled and remained silent. Some things cannot be made public, and even if they knew, they had to keep them to themselves.

Ling Yun secretly observed everyone present. Apart from Gu Yuan, there was no one else who needed to be paid too much attention.

Because Gu Yuan is also a main character.

Name: Gu Yuan

[Combat Power]: 7

[Special]: The Foresightful (Purple)

[Identity]: Male protagonist of "Rebirth of a Business Tycoon"

[Fate]: After being hit by a car and dying, she is reborn into the body of someone with the same name, taking over everything from that person. However, influenced by the original owner's obsession, she will subtly act according to the original owner's logic and behavior until they become completely one. She has a love-hate relationship with Gu Tianchen, the son who possesses a rich second-generation villain system, and in the end, only one of them can survive.

[Recent Opportunity]: Ingratiate myself with the chairman of Xinghe Group to gain the qualification to be his lackey.

[Luck]: 3000/3000

The Foresighted: Knows the future plot developments of the original character and can plan ahead.

Gu Yuan's recent opportunities are simple and straightforward, and they are exactly what he is currently pursuing.

It seems he didn't intend to hide his intention to suppress Gu Tianchen, but rather planned to use his power to completely crush him.

Ling Yun originally planned to have Gu Yuan help him choose a burial site for his son, but now it seems that having a "protagonist" to do the work for him, and then letting this "protagonist" fight against the "villain," while he sits on the sidelines and watches the fight, and finally reaps the benefits of their luck, is more cost-effective.

The two check and balance each other, neither gaining much benefit, so there's no need to worry about them growing to the point where they can threaten one's own position.

"Chairman Ling, it was all my fault before, that Gao Qiang..."

"Let's not dwell on the past."

Knowing he had a chance, Gu Yuan quickly picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He then turned the glass upside down to show that he had finished: "Chairman Ling, from now on, if you say one thing, I will never dare to say two. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Lingyun played along with him, promising to give them a portion of the chip production in the future.

Of course, a promise is a promise, and whether Gu Yuan will live to see that day is another matter entirely.

After the meal, Gu Yuan personally escorted Ling Yun outside, and even after Ling Yun left, he waved to the car from the same spot.

After Ling Yun left, he immediately convened a family meeting and had his bodyguards summon Gu Tianchen.

As soon as Gu Tianchen entered the room, he saw the unfriendly expressions of the crowd and stood there like a wooden statue, not saying a word.

"Tianchen, kneel down!"

Gu Yuan's voice was filled with suppressed anger, but Gu Tianchen ignored him and looked at the vase beside him.

"You beast, didn't you hear me tell you to kneel down?!"

Two bodyguards stepped forward, grabbed Gu Tianchen's arms, and forced him to kneel down.

"Why should I!" He glared at Gu Yuan, "Just because I didn't pour wine for that Ling Yun?"

"How dare you say that!" Gu Yuan pointed at his nose. "I hosted a banquet for Chairman Ling today, why did you leave halfway through?"

"Tch, what difference does it make whether I leave or not, I'm just sitting at the next table?"

"Are you trying to defy me?!"

[Warning: Detection has revealed that the host's father, Gu Yuan, is the protagonist!]

Gu Yuan is actually the protagonist?

Gu Tianchen's heart was in turmoil. He never expected that this old man would also be destined to be the protagonist.

In any case, as long as you oppose the protagonist, you can get rewards, so even if you get beaten up today, it's worth it!

"So what if I disobey you, you old geezer!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Gu Yuan glanced at Hao Jian, who understood and took out a ruler.

"According to the family law, how should a son be punished for disobeying his father?"

“If you disobey the rules for 10 feet, then you will be punished for the part of your body that is disobeyed,” an elder from the Gu family immediately replied.

"Hold him down!"

Gu Yuan gripped the ruler tightly, looked at Gu Tianchen who was powerless to resist, and raised the ruler in his hand to strike him.

After those ten blows, Gu Tianchen's mouth was full of blood, which made Gu Jie feel a little sorry for him.

"You old bastard, go ahead and kill me, kill me if you dare!"

He was met with another ten-foot blow, which slapped him so hard that his teeth loosened, he could barely speak, and his face swelled up like a pig's head.

"Old...old thing..."

Seeing that the fight might kill him if it continued, Gu Jie quickly stepped in front of Gu Yuan and knelt down with him.

"Uncle, please stop hitting Chen-ge. He might not have figured things out yet. Give him time, and he'll definitely understand!"

"Ah Jie, are you going to take your brother's side?"

Gu Yuan glared at him, and Gu Jie felt a little scared, but he still braced himself and said, "If Uncle still wants to punish Brother Chen, then let me take the punishment in Brother Chen's place!"

"roll!"

Unable to exert any force with his hands and feet, Gu Tianchen could only headbutt Gu Jie's back: "Stop acting, you bastard!"

These were very harsh words; you could say they insulted three people at once.

The first person to be targeted is Gu Jie's mother. Gu Jie's father could be anyone, but his mother can only be her. Calling Gu Jie a bastard is the same as calling her a bastard!

"Ah Yuan, listen to what he's saying!"

The woman was furious and, not caring about revealing their relationship, snatched the ruler and was about to hit Gu Tianchen.

This time, Gu Jie didn't stop him. He had originally felt some sympathy for this older brother, but since the other party was so ungrateful, he decided to let it go.

Having been abandoned by everyone, Gu Tianchen was slapped hard a few times by the woman. He felt his teeth getting loose and spat at her.

A tooth flew out, and blood stained the woman's clothes.

"Take him away and lock him up until he reflects on his actions!"

Two bodyguards escorted Gu Tianchen to the solitary confinement cell, which was dark and poorly furnished, even worse than the conditions in a prison.

Lying in the cold corner, Gu Tianchen panted heavily like a wounded wild beast.

[By arguing with the protagonist Gu Yuan, you receive the reward "Combat Power +2"!]

A faint surge of energy flowed into Gu Tianchen's body, making his originally weak physique much stronger, and even his injuries didn't hurt as much.

Cool!

To improve combat power through normal means, one must train for a long time. Now, having both scolded Gu Yuan and Gu Jie and received feedback on combat power, Gu Tianchen felt it was all worthwhile.

And that woman...

Gu Tianchen's hatred for Gu Jie's mother was no less than that for Gu Jie himself. He could tell that the woman was having an affair with his father, which was perhaps why Gu Jie was being taken seriously.

Hmph, just you wait! Once I have the power, I'll kill you all!

He had been put in solitary confinement before, but was released after a day, and this time it should be similar.

To everyone's surprise, he was locked up for three days straight, during which time he wasn't even given water!

If it weren't for the system's safety net, allowing Gu Tianchen to exchange a year of his lifespan for water and food, he might already be dead!

Three days later, Gu Yuan brought Hao Jian in.

To his surprise, Gu Tianchen was not only lively and energetic, but his injuries had even healed.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

Gu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

It seems the system has put its power to work, but everything comes at a price. He'll see how long Gu Tianchen can hold out.

"do not know!"

[By arguing with the protagonist Gu Yuan, you receive the reward "Combat Power +1"!]

"Okay, then you can stay here."

Gu Yuan was too lazy to waste words with him, so he had someone close the door again.

Gu Tianchen sat in the corner, thinking that it was a good thing to increase his combat power like this, but the system's cold words quickly dispelled his thoughts.

[Combat strength has reached 8 points and cannot be further increased through simple means. Please increase your efforts.]
