Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 103 Murderer

After dealing with the current minor incident, Lu He and Nie Qing returned to the private room.

There are still important things that haven't been discussed.

Lu He gave Bai Yu a few instructions and then told him to go downstairs. Only Nie Qing's maid remained at the door on the second floor.

"I invited you here today to discuss our future plans." Lu He briefly recounted her interactions with the Crown Prince to Nie Qing.

“Judging from your description, this Crown Prince is not easy to deal with,” Nie Qing said, somewhat uncertain. “If I marry him, I may not be able to take advantage of him.”

“I also think he’s too smart. He’s hard to handle, unless…” Lu He’s eyes darted around.

"Unless what?" Nie Qing asked curiously when she saw that she was keeping him in suspense again.

"Unless you make Li Guangqi fall in love with you," Lu He said, laughing heartily.

"How can you be so shameless? Σ(?д?|||)??"

"You know what, you might actually be able to do it~" Lu He smiled but didn't say the rest of the sentence. You're the female lead, everyone in the comics loves the female lead.

Nie Qing was both ashamed and angry, and punched Lu He.

Lu He had been watching her for a long time with a bitter and resentful expression, and it was quite amusing that she was amused to the point of showing a shy and girlish demeanor.

But jokes aside, having Nie Qing marry the Crown Prince to complete the revenge plan is not an impossible path. Even if the Crown Prince cannot fall in love with the female lead, she can still act as an inside agent for her and Li Cen in the Eastern Palace. This is because the female lead has a protagonist's halo. In a comic, only time travelers can kill the protagonist. Other characters cannot kill the protagonist. This is the effect of the protagonist's halo.

"In short, I will continue to contact the Crown Prince and gain his trust. Her Highness the Eldest Princess has also agreed to help get you into the Eastern Palace," Lu He told Nie Qing about her alliance with the Eldest Princess, and of course, she also mentioned how she had inadvertently helped her form an alliance.

"You really are a talent." Nie Qing was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't done anything, yet she had already become the princess's person without her knowledge.

Next, Nie Qing needs to find an opportunity to enter the palace and make his presence known to the Crown Prince.

"Also, don't linger on your way back." Before the two parted, Lu He reminded Nie Qing, "That Han Biao is no pushover. I'm afraid he won't let this go."

“Okay.” Nie Qing agreed verbally, but she didn’t really take Han Biao seriously. No matter what, she didn’t believe that a minor official of the seventh rank would dare to touch the daughter of the Minister.

After Nie Qing bid farewell to Lu He and left with her maid, Bai Yu returned from outside the teahouse not long after.

"How is it?" Lu He asked.

"Just as you expected, Han Biao had been keeping an eye on the entrance of the teahouse from the tavern. As soon as Miss Nie left, he got up and left."

"Alright, hurry up and follow him, make sure to protect Nie Qing."

As Nie Qing walked along, she felt like there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind, which made her very uncomfortable. She would look back from time to time, but she couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong, Miss?" The maid asked, looking worried as she noticed Nie Qing's distracted state.

"It's alright, let's hurry up." Nie Qing said, quickening her pace.

After turning the corner of the alley, there were fewer and fewer people on the road. Nie Qing chose to take the side road because it led to Yongqing Street, and the Minister's Mansion was less than a hundred meters away.

"Miss Nie, why are you in such a hurry?" Han Biao suddenly appeared in front of Nie Qing on the path, blocking her way.

"Han Biao? What are you doing here?" Nie Qing's palms began to sweat; she could feel the mockery and provocation on the other person's face.

"Tsk, I noticed it just now. Miss Nie is truly a beauty of unparalleled grace. Her temperament, her beauty, her fiery personality, tsk." Han Biao approached step by step, his words lewd. He wanted to humiliate Nie Qing to avenge the incident at the teahouse.

“This place is less than a hundred meters from my house. Think carefully about what will happen to you if I shout.” Nie Qing retreated step by step. How could she not panic when faced with such an emotionally unstable burly man?

"Don't hurt Miss!" The maid stood in front of Nie Qing again, trying to stop Han Biao from going forward.

This time, there was no one with martial arts skills to stop him. Han Biao grabbed the maid and threw her against the wall. With a "bang," the maid slammed her head against the wall and collapsed, leaving bloodstains on the wall.

"You!" Nie Qing was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She couldn't even shout. A living person had been killed by Han Biao right in front of her.

"What's wrong, Miss Nie? Don't be afraid. I certainly wouldn't hurt you so badly," Han Biao said with a lewd smile. "A maid's life is worthless. You're different. I'll take good care of you." Han Biao reached out and started tearing at Nie Qing's clothes. He originally just wanted revenge, but the more he looked at Nie Qing, the more beautiful she became. He didn't care if she was the daughter of a high-ranking official. As long as he killed her later, he could just give the Imperial City Guard a heads-up and make it a cold case. Anyway, no one would have seen it.

Han Biao had done this kind of thing more than once or twice, and he had made advances on women from powerful families before. He was quite experienced in this, but this time he was really audacious enough to dare to make a move on the daughter of a high-ranking official.

Nie Qing's clothes were ripped open, but in extreme fear, she couldn't scream. Even though the other person was extremely rough and she was in excruciating pain from the tearing, she couldn't utter a sound.

Just then, a flash of silver light appeared before my eyes.

Han Biao let out a "Huh?" and suddenly leaned back. A thin red line on his neck widened and then spurted blood. Han Biao fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Then appeared Bai Yu, who seemed to have vanished into the shadows, appearing behind Nie Qing and draping his outer robe over her shoulders. "Are you alright?" he asked, turning his head away from her.

Nie Qing's lips trembled; she was still immersed in the fear she had just experienced and had not yet recovered.

Slowly, two lines of tears finally flowed from her eyes, and the light in her pupils returned. Bai Yu stayed by her side the whole time, without looking at her or saying a word.

Han Biao's body was still bleeding profusely, and not far away by the wall lay the remains of a dead maid.

"Thank you... thank you for saving me... let's get out of here first..." Nie Qing said, leaning against the wall to slowly straighten up. Her legs were still weak; she had been really frightened.

The next second, a flurry of footsteps suddenly sounded, and a large number of people approached. Before Bai Yu and Nie Qing could react, they were surrounded by the Imperial City Guard, led by Zhao Kun, the Imperial City Guard Instructor.

Zhao Kun reached out and pretended to check the breaths of the two corpses on the ground, then waved his hand and pointed at Bai Yu: "Execute an official of the imperial court in the street! Seize him!"
