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

Chapter 26:

Lin Hai’s goal was to provoke Xia Tian.

And now, he had succeeded.

Next, it was time to set the stage for Qin Chao’s grand entrance.

“Anyone I set my sights on will never escape my grasp. I’ll give you two choices: sign the contract, and I’ll make you a superstar with millions of followers. Or…”

As he spoke, Lin Hai uncapped a small glass bottle in his hand.

He then poured a small amount of liquid onto his leather shoe.

The black leather shoe instantly corroded, leaving behind a gaping hole.

The moment the crowd saw this, they gasped in shock.

They had noticed the bottle in Lin Hai’s hand earlier, assuming it was some kind of beverage.

Who would have thought it was sulfuric acid?

People immediately backed away in fear, terrified of being accidentally splashed.

Lin Hai’s lips curled into a sinister smirk as he turned to Xia Tian.

“If you don’t sign the contract, this bottle of sulfuric acid will be poured on your face. Forget being a flight attendant—you won’t even be able to sweep the streets.”

This time, Xia Tian was truly terrified.

She instinctively covered her face, stepping backward in fear.

But Lin Hai’s men had surrounded her completely.

There was nowhere to escape.

“You… You better not do anything reckless! I… I’ll call the police!”

“Call the police?” Lin Hai sneered. “Go ahead. Let’s see which one happens first—the police arriving or your face being destroyed.”

As he spoke, he stepped closer, tightening his grip on the glass bottle.

“Make your decision—sign the contract, or get disfigured?”

“I…”

Xia Tian was shaking all over.

She didn’t want to be disfigured, but she also refused to become the kind of influencer Lin Hai was forcing her to be.

A deep sense of despair welled up inside her.

“So you’re still refusing? Then don’t blame me for what happens next…”

Lin Hai’s face twisted with malice as he lifted the bottle, preparing to splash the acid.

But just as the situation reached a critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared—Qin Chao, making his dramatic entrance.

With lightning speed, he stepped in front of Xia Tian and delivered a powerful kick, sending the sulfuric acid bottle flying out of Lin Hai’s hand.

Before Lin Hai could react, Qin Chao spun and delivered a flying kick right to his chest, sending him soaring backward.

He landed with a loud crash.

Then, Qin Chao straightened up, his expression righteous and commanding.

“In broad daylight, you dare to bully a defenseless woman in the middle of the street? You deserve to die!”

Lin Hai struggled to his feet, aided by his subordinates, his eyes filled with fury as he glared at Qin Chao.

“Where the hell did you come from, you little punk? How dare you meddle in my business? You’re asking for death!”

With that, he waved his hand, signaling to his men.

“Get him! Tear him to pieces!”

His subordinates had memorized the script perfectly. The moment Lin Hai gave the order, they charged forward without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xia Tian panicked and grabbed onto Qin Chao’s sleeve.

“You should run! This has nothing to do with you!”

Qin Chao flashed her a confident smile.

“They’re just a bunch of small-time thugs. Watch carefully—I’ll teach them a lesson for you.”

Then, instead of backing down, he rushed straight at them.

His movements were graceful yet lethal, his strikes swift and precise.

Lin Hai’s men didn’t stand a chance.

Within moments, every single one of them was on the ground, groaning in pain.

“Nice! Well done!”

The spectators watching from the sidelines erupted into cheers and applause.

Everyone was amazed by Qin Chao’s martial prowess.

Xia Tian’s beautiful eyes widened in awe.

This man… He’s like a hero straight out of a wuxia novel!

And now, it was time for Lin Hai’s final act.

Seeing Qin Chao’s impressive skills, Lin Hai immediately dropped to his knees.

“Please, spare me!” he cried, trembling in fear.

From a distance, Lin Chuan nearly burst out laughing.

Lin Hai was supposed to be one of the Lin family’s potential heirs—someone who might one day take over the entire family business.

Yet, to win over Qin Chao, he was willing to play the role of a pathetic villain, groveling in the dirt.

No dignity, no shame.

In the original novel, this was exactly why Lin Hai had won Qin Chao’s favor—by shamelessly bootlicking him.

Thanks to Qin Chao’s support, Lin Hai had ultimately won the heir competition and took over the Lin family.

In that sense, Lin Hai wasn’t completely stupid.

Back in the “scene,” Qin Chao stepped forward and kicked Lin Hai onto his back.

Then, placing his foot firmly on Lin Hai’s chest, he spoke coldly.

“Begging me won’t help. You didn’t offend me—you offended this lady. If she chooses to forgive you, I might consider sparing your life.”

Lin Hai immediately crawled over to Xia Tian’s feet, sobbing pitifully.

“Miss Xia, I was wrong! Please, give me another chance! I swear, I’ll turn over a new leaf and never do anything like this again!”

Seeing a grown man weeping like this, Xia Tian hesitated.

Her heart softened.

She turned to Qin Chao. “Sir… he’s already suffered enough. Let’s let him go this time.”

Hearing this, Qin Chao’s expression immediately softened.

He smiled gently at her.

“Since this beautiful lady is willing to plead on your behalf, I’ll let you go… this time. But if I ever catch you bullying the innocent again, I won’t be so merciful.”

“Yes, yes, yes! I swear I won’t do it again!”

Lin Hai nodded frantically, bowing over and over.

The crowd erupted into thunderous applause.

“This is what a true hero looks like!”

“Amazing! We need more brave people like him in this world!”

“Thank goodness he stepped in, or that poor girl would’ve been scarred for life!”

“Miss, you should properly thank your hero…”

Xia Tian, still shaken, quickly approached Qin Chao.

“Thank you so much… If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would’ve happened to me today.”

Qin Chao waved his hand dismissively.

“No need to thank me—it was just the right thing to do.”

With that, he turned and began to walk away.

His nonchalant, selfless attitude only made him even more attractive in Xia Tian’s eyes.

She hurriedly called after him.

“Sir… I still don’t know your name.”

Qin Chao had already taken a few steps forward.

At her words, a subtle smirk appeared on his lips.

Everything was going according to plan.

Xia Tian was naturally cautious. The only way to gain her trust was to appear indifferent to rewards or recognition.

Now that she was the one asking for his name, he could finally introduce himself and establish a connection.

“My name is—”

“He’s Qin Chao. That man over there is Lin Hai. They’re working together.”

Before Qin Chao could answer, another voice interrupted.

The entire crowd turned in shock.

A man, just as handsome as Qin Chao, walked out casually, his hands in his pockets.
