I Transmigrated Into a Villain and All the Heroines in This Novel Have Systems?

Chapter 51:

The call was from the old butler, Chen Jirong.

As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point. “Xiao Chuan, you were right.”

Lin Chuan immediately knew what he was talking about. “Did Fei-ge go to find that woman?”

“He did. When Xiao Fei arrived, that woman was out shopping with another man. After questioning her, he found out that she was dating three men at the same time. The only reason she agreed to marry Xiao Fei was because she saw him as an honest man who could give her a sense of security…”

“How is Fei-ge now?”

“Sigh… How could any man feel okay after going through something like this? Right now, he’s drinking alone, drowning his sorrows.”

“Do you want me to go check on him?”

“No need. He thinks this is too humiliating and doesn’t want anyone to see him like this. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine in a few days.”

“Alright, that’s good. I’ll visit Fei-ge in a few days and have a chat with him.”

“Xiao Chuan, thank you so much this time. If you hadn’t warned us in time, and that kind of woman had entered our family, Xiao Fei would have suffered even more.”

“Grandpa Chen, please don’t say that. This is something I should do.”

“Regardless, I still want to thank you. By the way, there’s something else I think you should know.”

“What is it?”

“Right after you left, Lin Hai came to the estate. He’s been talking with your father for quite a while now. And… the two of them seem to be getting along quite well. Your father even invited him to stay for dinner.”

Lin Chuan’s face darkened instantly upon hearing this news. “Wasn’t he locked up in the detention center? How did he get out so fast?”

“Your father pulled some strings to bail him out. He also ordered us to keep it quiet and downplay the incident as much as possible so that it wouldn’t damage his reputation.”

“Heh… He really cares about this illegitimate son. He’s even willing to break the rules of the game just to protect his dignity.”

Lin Chuan had just managed to suppress his anger, but it flared up again.

Back when Lin Qiangdong had set the competition rules, he had made it clear that this was a showdown between him and Lin Hai, and no one in the Lin family was allowed to intervene.

Yet now, he had openly used his power to get Lin Hai locked up, but Lin Qiangdong disregarded the rules and forcibly interfered.

Not only did he bail Lin Hai out the same day he was locked up, but he also used the Lin family’s influence to suppress the news and maintain his reputation.

This level of favoritism was simply too blatant.

Hmph, favoritism, is it?

Fine, then I’ll give you all another surprise and see how much longer you can protect him.

He had already made up his mind—tomorrow, he was going to wreck Lin Hai’s underground casino.

However, that kind of black market casino was extremely well-hidden. Without someone familiar leading the way, it would be difficult to find.

Fortunately, Chen Jirong’s daughter, Chen Yu, could help him.

According to the original novel, this woman partied recklessly and just so happened to know the location of that casino.

Lin Chuan raised his hand and pointed at his phone, which had been thrown seven or eight meters away. He didn’t say anything, just looked at Ning Wenrou.

Ning Wenrou immediately understood and hurried over to pick up the phone and hand it back to him.

Lin Chuan dialed Chen Yu’s number.

The phone rang once, but no one answered.

So, he called again.

This time, it rang several times before the call was finally answered.

A deafening blast of music, mixed with shouting and screaming, erupted from the other end. Lin Chuan quickly moved the phone away from his ear and rubbed it.

This crazy woman… Where the hell is she?

Then, he heard a woman’s voice shouting, “Hello, who is this?”

“It’s Lin Chuan.” Lin Chuan was already annoyed but still introduced himself.

“Who?”

“Lin Chuan.”

“The music here is too loud. I can’t hear you clearly. Can you speak up?”

“Damn it!” Lin Chuan had the urge to punch something. Holding his phone, he roared, “I said, I’M LIN CHUAN!”

“Lin Chuan? Why are you calling me?” Chen Yu sounded genuinely surprised, as if she never expected to receive his call.

“Where are you right now?”

“What did you say?”

“I’M ASKING WHERE THE HELL YOU ARE!”

“Oh, I’m at a bar, having fun with some classmates.”

“Can you step outside? I need to talk to you.”

“What?”

“What do you mean ‘what’? I told you to go outside and talk!”

“Oh, oh…”

Soon, the background noise gradually faded, and Chen Yu’s voice became clearer. “Okay, say what you need to say. I can hear you now.”

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, suppressing his irritation. “Grandpa Chen told me you’ve been getting into gambling lately?”

“Ugh, why does that old man tell you everything?” Chen Yu sounded annoyed at her father.

“Of course. What do you think the relationship between me and Grandpa Chen is? You think you can compare?” Lin Chuan sneered.

He wasn’t wrong. Chen Jirong cared about him far more than his own children.

“Are you calling just to lecture me? If so, save your breath. Where I go and what I do is my own business. None of you have any right to control me.” Chen Yu assumed Lin Chuan was calling to convince her to stop gambling and immediately became defensive.

“I couldn’t care less about what you do. I just wanted to ask if you know about an underground casino in the southern suburbs.”

“There are plenty of casinos in the southern suburbs. Which one are you talking about?”

“The one that opened recently, no more than three months ago.” Lin Chuan intentionally gave a vague hint.

“Oh, you mean the one run by Pao-ge? Yeah, I know it. We went there a few days ago.”

Hearing this, Lin Chuan’s eyes lit up. “Can you take me there tomorrow?”

“No!” Chen Yu refused outright.

“Why not?” Lin Chuan pressed.

“Are you seriously asking? If my dad finds out I took you to a casino, he’d kill me! I’m not that stupid.” Chen Yu had a very valid reason for refusing.

Lin Chuan had to be patient. “Relax. I won’t tell your dad.”

“If you don’t want people to find out, don’t do it. There’s no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever.”

“Ugh, cut the proverbs. Are you trying to pass a college entrance exam? I’ll ask one last time—are you taking me or not?”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Yes, I am. What are you going to do about it? If you refuse, I’ll tell Grandpa Chen that you’re keeping a mistress, and he’ll freeze your bank card.”

“What mistress? I haven’t even had a single relationship! And I’m straight! You’re slandering me!”

“I sure am slandering you. But tell me, do you think Grandpa Chen will believe me or you?”

“You… You’re shameless!”

“Yes, I am. So, are you taking me or not? Give me a straight answer.”

“Fine, fine, I’ll take you! But let me be clear, if you lose money, don’t blame me.”

“Of course not. Do I look like that kind of person?”

“Heh. Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about your own character? If you want to talk about character, you should at least act like a decent human being.”

“Who are you calling inhuman? Want me to tell Grandpa Chen you’re keeping a mistress?”

“…”
