AMRWFA -Chapter 96 If the Plot Needs It, Even Dogs Have to Step Up

Du Hongyun had no idea he had just narrowly escaped a disaster. Seeing Bai Ling’er “run away,” he thought he had won their quarrel and immediately broke into a pleased expression.

He felt that, compared to Du Huaqing, at least he still had some brains.

The people assigned to tail her just wanted to cover their faces: where did this lucky fool even come from? Bai Ling’er wasn’t just anyone—she was a Gu witch.

A venomous woman capable of unleashing cursed insects to harm people anytime, anywhere, yet looking like she was barely out of adolescence. Her strikes were merciless.

Based on how long they had been following her, her attacks were completely unpredictable—entirely mood-driven.

If they didn’t have their own “cheat tools,” they wouldn’t have even noticed her subtle moves.

Who would have thought?

Just a flick of her finger, and a tiny bug could be hidden in any small pouch on her body, in a flower bud on her head, or any random accessory.

Luckily, these cursed insects weren’t limitless—they required time and effort to cultivate. Bai Ling’er wouldn’t just release them at random; she only struck when annoyed. Otherwise, there was no way to stop her.

Whenever she got angry, as long as they had Ru Anzhi, the “magical tool,” they could halt the crimes and prevent a new victim from appearing.

But to prevent Du Hongyun from being foolish again and provoking Bai Ling’er, official Daddy decided to “notify” his mother so she could keep an eye on her son and prevent him from “putting himself in danger.”

Madam Du: “……”

Ahhh… my son almost got cursed by someone?!

Well, now that Ruan Yaoyao’s “cheat tool” was out, seeing a so-called “Gu witch” wasn’t so shocking.

Thinking that both she and her son could end up dead by a cursed insect, Madam Du decided to take her son abroad to hide for a while. Once the situation was resolved, they could return.

Mr. Du was completely unaware and just slightly displeased, thinking his son was studying just fine. Why did his wife insist on taking him abroad now? Wasn’t this causing trouble?

Madam Du didn’t care. Her and her son’s lives came first. As for his studies… did it really matter?

If he couldn’t finish school, the Du Group had him covered financially. If necessary, Mr. Du could hire a professional manager, and they could collect dividends from behind the scenes.

Ruan Yaoyao felt a bit regretful. The Du family drama had mostly been consumed, but Mr. Du hadn’t seen it all yet. Meanwhile, Madam Du had been scared off by the Gu witch incident and fled abroad with her son.

Yu Xiangqiao, observing Ruan Yaoyao’s expression, said, “She had no choice but to run. Du Hongyun almost got cursed. She was afraid that if she didn’t escape fast enough, she and her son would be unlucky if he remembered and reacted. If I can’t deal with her, can I at least hide?”

“Right. That son of hers is an idiot. We already told him that the woman his brother liked was a dangerous character and to stay away from her. Yet when he got her call, he happily ran over—he’s brave, all right.”

Ruan Yaoyao hadn’t expected this. She had warned them of the danger, yet he still walked right into it—who could be blamed?

Luckily, they still had Ru Anzhi, the “magical tool.” One call, and the crime was stopped.

Otherwise, Du Hongyun would now be in the hospital.

They didn’t even know if official Daddy had found someone to study the cursed insects yet.

Curses seemed terrifying, but if used properly, they could be useful.

Yu Xiangqiao: “He even dared to quarrel with her? I heard from Shishi that the people following her broke out in cold sweat. Seeing Bai Ling’er’s expression change, they immediately signaled Old Third to make a call.”

“Old Third doesn’t always succeed, right?”

“So those who failed ended up in the hospital.” All were taken to official Daddy’s hospitals. Which one exactly, only official Daddy knew. To the outside world, it was just “hospitalized.”

Bai Ling’er wondered if she had hit some bad luck, as both of the “big golden legs” she targeted ended up in the hospital.

Her first target had been Ran Hao.

This guy was a pervert, but spoiled by his father and brother. Money was never an issue. With Ran Hao around, she never had to worry about funds.

Then the Ran family went bankrupt, and Ran Hao went into the hospital.

Next was Du Huaqing.

She wasn’t too impressed with Du Huaqing—just an illegitimate son, nothing compared to Ru Anzhi’s older brothers. He was someone who had to stay hidden.

But Du Huaqing was handsome and still sentimental because of the “life-saving favor” years ago. Who wouldn’t like a man who was both attractive and devoted? Plus, he was a potential future asset. Once he “defeated” his half-brother and took over the Du Group, he’d be the “dominant CEO.”

By then, the credit cards and perks would be hers to swipe.
But he ended up hospitalized as well.

Ran Hao was hospitalized due to family issues—unavoidable. Du Huaqing went in because of her “revenge.” She wasn’t touched; she thought he was just foolish.

He seemed smart, yet was caught so easily.

“Ahqiu—”

Ruan Yaoyao sneezed, suspecting someone was muttering about her. Now, whether at home or out, she always had a bodyguard following her.

Du Huaqing’s “lesson” was complete.

He thought his home was safe, but at home, he was either poisoned or kidnapped. Ridiculous.

Her cannon-fodder life was miserable; no matter what, there were always “loopholes.” With over a dozen bodyguards patrolling the villa, she infiltrated like she could pass through walls.

Just like that female protagonist who could carry a child abroad effortlessly despite being a naive civilian, she could still give birth abroad.

“She’s a life dummy with no economic ability, yet she can carry a child and live so comfortably?”

The female bodyguard Lin Zhihe whispered, “Isn’t there a second male lead?”

“Oh right, the second male lead. I thought so—those who cover her are the second male lead.” Ruan Yaoyao held her tablet, finding Lin Zhihe’s logic convincing. “This is the typical ‘Zhong Wuyan in trouble, Xia Yingchun when safe’ scenario. Zhong Wuyan may be a tool, but she’s still an empress, a mother of a nation, second only to the emperor.

“The second male lead? Pathetic. Always a tool, giving money and comfort, ending up with nothing…”

“And might even lose his original wealth or power while competing for the heroine, becoming a stepping stone for the male lead’s career,” Lin Zhihe added.

Ruan Yaoyao turned her head, very pleased with the bodyguard Old Third arranged for her.

【Look, like Liang Shishi, they both came from the military. Their skills and character were impeccable. Quick thinkers, adaptable to new things.】

【She, a forty-something old lady, read CEO romance novels daily, and this bodyguard not only found it normal but could discuss it and act as a conversation partner.】

“It has to be written this way. Otherwise, why would the male lead earn the heroine’s true love? He earns it because he has real skill, the best man under heaven, worthy of the heroine. All plots must revolve around the leads, enhancing their romance. No matter how ridiculous a story seems, if it involves the leads, it must become ‘reasonable’ and happen ‘naturally.’” Ruan Yaoyao said.

【Just like my second child—he met the heroine Li Tingting and fell in love at first sight.】

【His brother met her and fell in love at first sight.】

【His brother’s brother-in-law met her and fell in love at first sight.】

【A passing reporter met her and fell in love at first sight.】

【I suspect, if the plot demands it, even a passing dog would fall in love with her at first sight.】

【Maybe that dog would even turn into a domineering CEO!】
