Chapter 379: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Ling Xiao was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.
The screams were quickly followed by the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. Yun Qing looked up and saw He Chengyi with a gloomy face.
She quickly put her hands behind her back, her tone innocent, "He fell by himself."
Bodyguards: ...
He Chengyi looked her up and down to make sure she was alright, then reached out and took her shoulder, pushing her to the wall and making her stand facing it.
Then he turned and walked towards Ling Xiao.
That overly calm expression made the system tremble with fear.
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Is this a punishment for me to face the wall in repentance?
He Chengyi, you've gone too far!
She turned to ask him what he meant, but several tall, burly bodyguards quickly turned their backs to her and surrounded her in a semi-circle.
Her view was blocked, so she instinctively wanted to stand on tiptoe to see.
A bodyguard whispered, "Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. Mr. He is very angry right now."
Yun Qing hesitated for a moment and did not insist on going to see it. She just reminded her, "He Baobao, take it easy. If you get yourself into trouble, I might run off with someone else."
bodyguard:!!!
We didn't hear anything.
He Chengyi paused for a moment, then reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Ling Xiao endured the pain, looked at him warily, and said stubbornly, "Song Yunqing seduced me. You can check the surveillance footage if you don't believe me!"
Yun Qing rolled her eyes and said loudly, "I'm not blind! How confident do you have to be to think you can compare to my He Baobao!"
He Chengyi instructed the bodyguards to gag Ling Xiao, then signaled to them to let Wen Yu pass later. He then said to the system: "[Let's do a 'soul swap,' you're good at it.]"
The system hesitated for only a second before silently replacing it.
Wen Yu emerged from the corner where she was hiding.
Having received instructions, the bodyguard naturally allowed "her" to pass through smoothly.
She walked all the way to Ling Xiao's side. When Ling Xiao saw her, he looked very worried and anxious. He wanted to say that it had nothing to do with Wen Yu, but his mouth was covered and he could only mumble anxiously.
Immediately afterwards, under He Chengyi's horrified gaze, "Wen Yu" subjected Ling Xiao to inhumane torture.
Yun Qing couldn't see, but could hear the muffled thuds of fists hitting flesh, occasionally a cracking sound, and the muffled screams of someone whose mouth was covered.
Ling Xiao stared at "Wen Yu" in disbelief, and didn't understand why until he fainted.
Ling Xiao dared to make a move against Yun Qing, so he must have thought about the consequences of offending He Chengyi beforehand.
He was prepared to be blacklisted.
He wouldn't be too surprised if He Chengyi beat him up on the spot.
But he never expected that "Wen Yu" would torture him so ruthlessly.
But it was precisely this "Wen Yu" that made him vaguely see the spirited young lady from many years ago who saved him from dire straits.
When Yun Qing heard the "woofing" sound suddenly stop, she couldn't help but worry, "He Chengyi, are you sure you didn't beat someone to death?"
He Chengyi had just asked the system to switch his character back when he heard Yun Qing's words. Looking at Ling Xiao on the ground, whose limbs were not normal, he was indeed a bit frightening.
Don't scare Qingqing.
So he decided to try to salvage the situation.
Yun Qing only heard his calm voice, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Then, with a calm expression, he put all of Ling Xiao's dislocated joints back on one by one, showing remarkable restraint.
Ling Xiao, who had already fainted from the pain, was awakened by the pain again. His face was covered in tears and cold sweat, and his expression was quite ferocious.
Wen Yu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. Even though her face was obscured by the mask, the fear in her eyes was impossible to ignore.
The bodyguards were actually a little confused.
They knew that this minor celebrity had been targeting Madam, and when President He suddenly let her go, they thought he was going to teach her a lesson. Who knew it was this minor celebrity who was going to teach her a lesson?
Their ruthless methods impressed them.
But now she looks trembling with fear. What's going on?
She was quick and efficient when she dislocated Ling Xiao's joints herself, but now that she sees President He putting the joints back on, she's terrified.
And the look of terror on "President He's" face just now was too incongruous. President He is more like the ruthless person who dealt with Ling Xiao.
It felt very strange, as if their roles had been switched.
Ling Xiao quickly fainted from the pain again.
When the bodyguards dispersed, Yun Qing only saw Ling Xiao lying motionless on the ground. He looked "unharmed," with his chest rising and falling slightly as he was still breathing. He should be alright.
She glanced again at the masked man who had collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror. "Wen Yu? Did you order Ling Xiao to do this?"
Wen Yu didn't react.
She had just witnessed He Chengyi, under her identity, beat Ling Xiao to a pulp without batting an eye, dislocating his joints one by one, and then, after reverting to his original identity, breaking them back into place one by one.
Ling Xiao was tortured until he fainted and woke up, then fainted again.
Wen Yu was already terrified.
Especially the last glance He Chengyi gave her while wiping his hands completely awakened the fear she had felt when she first entered the dream, when he mercilessly kicked her off a high-rise building, causing her to fall continuously and come incredibly close to death.
She wanted to say it wasn't her fault, that she was just passing by, but she was so scared that all the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Yun Qing waved to the bodyguard and said, "Take off her wig and mask, and take her for a walk in a lively place."
As her so-called rival, she knew all too well how satisfied and concerned Wen Yu was with her face.
Even breaking her arms or legs wouldn't be as damaging as showing everyone her ugly appearance.
As expected, Wen Yu's eyes widened in terror upon hearing this. She scrambled to run away, clutching her head and screaming like a madwoman.
As the bodyguards tried to grab her, she charged headfirst into the wall.
The injuries on her face and head hadn't healed yet, and this collision not only knocked her unconscious, but also punctured her face with the mask. Blood soaked through the thin gauze on her face, dripping from the cracked mask, which looked rather frightening.
Yun Qing: ...
She looked at He Chengyi and met his gaze. She couldn't help but laugh awkwardly and whispered, "Actually, I'm not fierce at all."
He Chengyi had vented some of the anger in his heart and was much calmer. He pulled her into his arms and rubbed her head. "Qingqing has always been very gentle."
Then he added, "Actually, I'm not fierce at all."
Yun Qing nodded repeatedly in his arms, "I know, you're usually very well-behaved."
Bodyguard: ...I've learned something new!
The system cautiously asked, "Host, do you intend to kill Wen Yu?"
Ling Xiao was dealt with so badly, it didn't believe that He Chengyi would let Wen Yu, the mastermind, off so easily.
His inaction only made it more uneasy, as it felt he was afraid that the gore would frighten Song Yunqing.
Although Song Yunqing had already made Wen Yu bleed profusely.
It said in a pleading tone: "If you killed her, could you please not kill me?"
I...I've decided to abandon the mission.
Its voice was already trembling with tears as it said, "Host, I'm so sorry, there might be a problem with my program."
After Wen Yu actually committed evil deeds, it finally woke up from its obsession with completing the mission and realized that it might have been wrong from the beginning.
So no matter how hard it tries, things will only get worse.
The match it believed to be a match made in heaven looks more and more like a tragic one.
It was supposed to be a matchmaking system for sweet and romantic relationships, but it seems to have become an evil system that separates lovers.
Its initial assessment of the two hosts became increasingly inconsistent with reality.
It's one thing for He Chengyi to be a little crazy; he's just rebellious by nature, unwilling to be controlled, and his resistance is quite fierce, but he doesn't actively harm innocent people.
Although it initially felt that Wen Yu was innocent.
As for the host He Chengyi, although its assessment was wrong, it was not too outrageous. At least the misanthropy was correct.
But Wen Yu, whom it had always believed to be naturally optimistic, kind, and resilient, not only underwent a drastic personality change, but also resorted to any means to harm Song Yunqing. This wasn't just a thought or a word; it was a real action.
This is completely contrary to its initial assessment of her.
Then it finally understood.
Such gentleness could not warm the gloomy and world-weary He Chengyi, which is why He Chengyi disliked her.
Continuing this mission is pointless.
It even suspected that it might have bound the wrong host, which was why He Chengyi was so resistant.
If the other host it was initially bound to had been Song Yunqing, would the mission still be so difficult?
As for why so many errors occurred, it is suspected that there may have been a problem when it left the factory.
The system was devastated by the thought that it might be a defective product and be destroyed when it returned, and it didn't know what to do.
He Chengyi, through his own efforts, made the system begin to doubt Tongsheng, but he showed no intention of taking responsibility, simply ruthlessly silencing it.
Then he pulled Yun Qing away from the hotel and instructed Lin Xu to find out how many people were involved in the matter, clearly intending not to let any of them go.
