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

Chapter 27:

“Lin Chuan?!”

The moment Lin Hai saw Lin Chuan, he exclaimed in shock.

His hatred for this half-brother ran deep—he despised him to the core.

The whole reason he had been shamelessly currying favor with Qin Chao was to join forces and eliminate Lin Chuan together.

But he never expected to run into him here.

Lin Chuan walked over, but instead of looking at Lin Hai immediately, he scanned the group of subordinates standing nearby.

Among them was Wen Qiang, the mole he had planted by Lin Hai’s side.

The moment Wen Qiang met Lin Chuan’s gaze, he instantly lowered his head, pretending not to see him.

Lin Chuan chuckled but didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned his attention to Qin Chao—his lifelong nemesis in the original novel.

Qin Chao’s eyes were filled with undisguised hostility.

As expected of the main protagonist, he naturally carried an aura of dominance.

If it were anyone else, they might have backed down from his intimidating gaze.

But Lin Chuan had Combat Mastery now—his confidence was unshakable.

He wasn’t afraid at all.

A moment later, Lin Chuan turned back to Lin Hai and smirked.

“Your acting skills aren’t bad. With talent like that, why don’t you join the entertainment industry? Maybe you could even win a few Best Actor awards.”

Lin Hai gritted his teeth, his glare filled with hatred. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Oh?” Lin Chuan snorted. “You and a bunch of grown men teamed up to trick a young woman, and now you don’t even have the guts to admit it? Pathetic.”

Hearing this, Xia Tian was completely confused.

“Are you saying they tricked me? What’s going on?”

The spectators also looked at each other in bewilderment.

Before Lin Chuan could respond, Lin Hai panicked and pointed directly at his face.

“Lin Chuan! If you have a problem with me, then face me directly! Don’t resort to such underhanded tactics!”

“Underhanded?”

Lin Chuan suddenly burst into laughter.

“Do you even know the meaning of that word? You claim to be full of honor and virtue, but you’re nothing but a shameless rat.”

“Y-You—!”

Lin Hai was so furious that he couldn’t even form a sentence. He instinctively turned to Qin Chao for help.

But Qin Chao simply watched coldly, his expression unreadable.

Clearly, he didn’t want to get involved.

He wanted to maintain his heroic image in front of Xia Tian, so he chose to remain silent.

Seeing that Qin Chao wasn’t backing him up, Lin Hai had no choice but to step closer to Lin Chuan.

In a low voice, he threatened, “Lin Chuan, if you don’t want to die, then get lost right now. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”

Lin Chuan gave him a look as if he was staring at an idiot.

“Are you threatening me?”

Lin Hai smirked coldly. “I’ll tell you the truth—I’ve already amassed 200 million in capital. I’ve already won the Lin family’s inheritance battle.”

“And?” Lin Chuan responded indifferently.

“And that means I’ll be the future successor of the Lin family.”

Lin Hai’s voice turned icy.

“If you don’t want me to crush you into dust once I take over, then leave while you still can. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you suffer a fate worse than death.”

Lin Chuan pretended to look scared.

“You’re right… If I ruin your plans now, you’ll definitely come after me later.”

Lin Hai’s smug grin returned.

“Glad you understand. Now, get lost.”

But before he could bask in his victory, Lin Chuan’s expression shifted instantly.

“Since I don’t want you coming after me later, then I might as well get rid of you first.”

Lin Chuan’s fear was gone—replaced by pure mockery.

“Consider today’s lesson just the appetizer.”

Lin Hai’s face darkened immediately. “You wouldn’t dare—”

Before he could finish, Lin Chuan suddenly spoke loudly.

“It’s simple. Lin Hai and Qin Chao are working together. This entire hero-saving-beauty act was staged to win Miss Xia Tian’s favor for their own ulterior motives!”

“WHAT?!”

The crowd exploded in uproar.

Just moments ago, everyone had been in awe of Qin Chao’s bravery.

They thought he was a real-life hero, like a modern-day Guo Jing or Xiao Feng.

But now, Lin Chuan was saying that it was all an act?

That was unbelievable!

Even Xia Tian, who had been deeply moved just moments ago, now hesitated.

Could this really be a setup?

Qin Chao’s eyes turned sharp, radiating pure killing intent.

Unfortunately, Lin Chuan’s back was turned to him, so he didn’t see it.

But Lin Hai definitely felt the pressure.

He knew that this moment was a test.

If he handled it well, Qin Chao’s trust in him would deepen, securing his future benefits.

But if he failed, Qin Chao would lose faith in him.

And without Qin Chao’s support, how could he possibly compete with Lin Chuan?

Panicked, Lin Hai rushed to defend himself.

“Don’t listen to him! This guy has a personal grudge against me—he’s trying to slander me!”

“I don’t even know who Qin Chao is!”

But his hasty defense only made things worse.

If Lin Chuan’s claims were false, then shouldn’t Qin Chao be the one refuting them?

Yet it was Lin Hai—the so-called victim—who was jumping to explain himself?

Why was Lin Hai protecting someone who just beat him up?

His reaction only made him look more guilty.

Even Qin Chao was silently cursing him—”Idiot!”

Midway through his explanation, Lin Hai realized his mistake and shut his mouth immediately.

Lin Chuan grinned.

“Why stop? Keep explaining.”

Lin Hai’s face flushed red with embarrassment.

Frustrated, he pointed at Lin Chuan.

“Enough! I’m done wasting words on you.”

“Let me ask you one last time—are you leaving or not?”

Lin Chuan smirked.

“I’m not leaving. Why don’t you show me how it’s done?”

“Fine! Don’t blame me then!”

Lin Hai, furious beyond reason, waved to his men.

“Take him down!”

But his bodyguards hesitated.

They all belonged to the Lin family.

Even though they were currently assigned to Lin Hai, they still held respect for Lin Chuan as the true eldest son.

Lin Hai’s order didn’t immediately move them to action.

Seeing them hesitate, Lin Hai’s rage exploded.

“What the hell are you all standing around for?! Do you only obey orders when it suits you?”

Realizing they had no choice, a few bodyguards finally stepped forward.

Then, the rest followed suit.

At this moment, Lin Chuan was no longer the heir of the Lin family in their eyes.

He was merely a stepping stone—a chance for them to prove their loyalty to Lin Hai.
