Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 396 A Temptation of Mortal Desire

"Now that this has happened, have you fallen for worldly desires?"

"I just feel sorry for Miss Du, and we should at least lend a hand," Zero One said.

Xu Yao was speechless after hearing Zero One's words, but Zero One had been through what had happened before.

Since he was quite loyal to him, Xu Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I can agree to that."

"But you must remember, this matter will not be simple, now that you have brought it up."

“I can keep Du Fubao here, but Zero One, you’re in charge of looking after Du Fubao.”

"You need to keep a close eye on him. If Du Fubao causes any trouble, I'll come after you," Xu Yao said.

Zero One was quite pleased. After Xu Yao agreed to let Du Fubao stay, Zero One said cheerfully, "Don't worry."

"I promise I will take good care of Miss Du. Miss Du, you can rest assured, I will not bully you."

When Du Fubao saw Lingyi like this, he deliberately smiled and gave Lingyi a flirtatious wink.

Now Zero One was even more infatuated.

To be honest, seeing Zero One like this, Xu Yao also felt that Zero One was beyond saving, since things had already come to this point.

Xu Yao also felt that as long as Zero One didn't do anything too outrageous, he wasn't worried.

Du Fubao is practically a grasshopper in my palm, so I certainly don't need to worry about any problems.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yao decided to disregard all of that.

And so, for the rest of the time, Du Fubao stayed at the Qian family's house.

However, Du Fubao's performance really does warrant some revision.

Ever since Du Fubao met Xu Yao, he has been deliberately trying to please him.

This made Xu Yao feel somewhat uncomfortable, to the point that Du Fubao had to serve him tea and water on several occasions.

Xu Yaodu said directly, "Miss Du, you don't need to do this. Do you think you can gain my trust by doing this?"

"What kind of people haven't I, Xu Yao, seen? How could I possibly be fooled by such a petty trick as yours?"

“Miss Du, let’s just leave it at that. That’s enough. I’m giving Ling face.”

“I say, Young Master Xu Yao, even if I, Du Fubao, am all alone and destitute, can’t I find someone to rely on?”

"Right now, you are my support, a weak woman like me. Are you going to abandon me?"

"Young Master Xu Yao, please have pity on this weak woman and take her in."

Seeing Du Fubao's pitiful look, Xu Yao laughed and said, "Du Fubao."

"Miss Du, do you really think your tricks will work on me?"

"Honestly, there's no such thing as a 'green tea girl' at this time, if there is."

"You're definitely going to be killed now that things have come to this."

"Then I'm curious why you're still so attentive to me. I don't care what you're like."

"In short, I don't care what your purpose was in approaching me, but I've already told you the truth."

"If you continue like this, then I'll let you know the true character of Young Master Xu Yao," Xu Yao said with a chuckle.

"Young Master Xu Yao, I..."

Before Du Fubao could finish speaking, Xu Yao said directly, "Miss Du, if you don't want to be knocked out by me, you'd better leave on your own."

"To be honest, you are indeed a beauty, but your scheming and deep-seated nature is too much for me to handle."

Seeing that Xu Yao was completely unmoved, Du Fubao had no choice but to leave Xu Yao's room.

The time when the man in black would come to give him his orders was drawing closer, and the poison's effects were also approaching.

However, Du Fubao made no progress whatsoever, which made him very anxious.

But Xu Yao has made it clear that he's prepared for this, so what can I do? Am I supposed to go to his bed tonight?

That evening, Du Fubao was still in his room, contemplating how to approach Xu Yao.

At that moment, they heard someone making a sound outside the window.

Upon hearing the voice, Du Fubao knew that the men in black had arrived.

This voice was the pre-arranged code between himself and the man in black. Naturally, the appearance of this code meant that the man in black had arrived.

Du Fubao quietly walked out of the door and headed straight for the man in black.

When Du Fubao found the man in black, the man in black gave Du Fubao a golden pill.

"This is the antidote. Take it in two days, and it will allow you to live for another ten days."

"How's the task I gave you going?" the man in black asked.

After putting away the antidote, Du Fubao said, "This Xu Yao, is she perhaps attracted to men? I, Du Fubao, would not presume to say she is a beauty of unparalleled grace."

"But Yuan is quite beautiful, but no matter how I tried to charm him, Xu Yao remained unmoved."

“I suspect this guy isn’t into women, he’s into men,” Du Fubao said.

The man in black then said, "I don't care about this matter. You need to gain Xu Yao's trust as soon as possible, no matter what method you use."

“If you still haven’t gained Xu Yao’s trust when I come next time, then I will not give you the antidote,” the man in black said.

Du Fubao then said, "Yes, but sir, are you really willing to let a mere woman like you die?"

"I say, you men are so heartless! If I were to die, wouldn't you all feel that the world would be missing a stunning beauty?"

The man in black clearly had no interest in wasting words with Du Fubao, and simply said, "You don't need to tell me any of this."

"Right now, I'm only concerned with what the outcome will be for you. As for other things, that's not something I should be thinking about."

"In short, Du Fubao, your life is in my hands now. If you don't want to die, you'd better figure out a way yourself," the man in black said.

After saying that, the man in black left.

After the man in black left, Du Fubao muttered to himself, "You men, you really are something else."

"You treat me like this? You deserve to never get my tenderness."

Just as Du Fubao was complaining and leaving, Xu Yao also walked out from a side.

Xu Yao witnessed the entire conversation between Du Fubao and the man in black.

Xu Yao also saw the man in black, and he was amazed by Du Fubao's vigilance.

How could you not even know you were being followed when you were doing something so secretive? With such a lack of awareness, how are you going to complete your mission?
