After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain
Chapter 224: I Never Planned to Let You Go Either

At the same time, Bo Jingmo on the fourth floor also sensed something was off.

He glanced coldly at Jiang Xi in the living room, his voice icy: “Where’s Rong Fan?”

Jiang Xi stood beside Rong Ya’s corpse. Hearing this, she shrank her neck and replied softly, “I don’t know, he ran off.”

Seeing Bo Jingmo about to turn and leave, she hurriedly called out: “Wait, Bo Jingmo, I… I, um, I wanted to ask, have you really become the God of Peace now?”

But the man didn’t even spare her a look, continuing to walk out.

“……”

Jiang Xi gritted her teeth in frustration and suddenly blurted out: “Bo Jingmo!! I killed Rong Ya!”

That stopped him in his tracks. He slowly turned back to look at her. “I know.”

She froze, just about to say something. But then she heard the man’s cold voice again:

Bo Jingmo’s face was devoid of emotion, his pitch-black eyes like a pool in a dark forest, shimmering with biting cold light that made one afraid to meet his gaze.

“Jiang Xi, I never planned to let you go either.”

In that instant, Jiang Xi’s pupils contracted sharply, her limbs went cold and trembled, her heart felt like it had been struck hard by a heavy object, and the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat. The fear inside her came from nowhere.

She didn’t doubt the truth in Bo Jingmo’s words at all.

Once Rong Fan was dead, he really would kill her.

Bo Jingmo lifted his leg to leave again, but when he saw the woman standing at the door, his gaze flickered and he instinctively said: “Ba—”

Realizing something, the softness on his face vanished instantly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his voice turned icy:

“Mu Chengsi, do you have a death wish too?”

“……”

With a different face, Mu Chengsi held onto the doorframe, practically in tears. She had already said this wouldn’t fool him!!

So as not to raise Rong Fan’s suspicion, she shut her eyes and pretended not to understand: “Bo Jingmo, if you want to get past here today, you’ll have to kill me. Step right over this face that looks just like Xu Wei’s.”

Bo Jingmo tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He’d figured it out—one after another, they were all deliberately stalling for time.

“Rong Fan went to find Xu Wei?”

Seeing the stiffness in Mu Chengsi’s expression, Bo Jingmo said coldly, “This is your last chance. Move.”

Mu Chengsi caught the subtext—

‘Out of respect for you being Yu Li’s roommate, this is your final chance.’

Her hand trembled as she slowly let go of the doorframe.

Rong Fan, oh Rong Fan… I tried my best.

From here on out, it’s up to you to pray to the gods.

Bo Jingmo was just about to step outside when his stride suddenly halted.

His gaze flickered slightly. He reached out his hand slowly, and in the next instant, his palm pressed against an invisible barrier.

The man let out a low chuckle: “Heh…”

Well, well—what a neat little barrier.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat was oddly cheerful.

【Bo Jingmo, you’re screwed! Your wife’s gonna be gone!】

【“Men can cry, cry, it’s not a crime~” Who would understand the pain of being cheated on~】

【This is so exciting, I love scenes like this.】

【That’s what he gets for not killing Jiang Xi. Once Xu Wei comes up and sees she’s still alive, it’ll be solid proof he betrayed her.】

【Tsk tsk, Rong Fan really played dirty with this one.】

【I’m dying—Mu Chengsi got recognized not even a second after coming down. Gotta say, Bo Jingmo’s perceptiveness is kinda impressive.】

【But Rong Fan’s toast too, right? Doesn’t look like he cares about ratings anymore. He’s killed a target, killed a teammate, just racking up penalties left and right.】

【Yeah, he’s doomed. When the scores come out, no points gained, and he’ll have to pay a fine to the Film Set System.】

【Bo Jingmo hasn’t even moved, and this guy’s already jumped to be the villain. Not afraid of being used as a pawn, huh.】

【If Li Mu weren’t an NPC, I’d swear this little couple was scheming together to trap Rong Fan. If he hadn’t intervened, the penalty should’ve fallen on Bo Jingmo.】

【D*mn, Rong Fan even used his space ability.】

【He’s really gonna use a skill to kill Bo Jingmo? Over a newbie? Seriously?】

【I remember Rong Fan’s skill creates a separate space, and inside it, his speed and attack power increase drastically. Plus, it has a restrictive effect. He’s not playing around. Tsk tsk, Bo Jingmo really gave the kid pressure.】

【This is amazing, this is what I wanted! Fight! Fight!】

Off to the side, Mu Chengsi changed her face back. Watching Bo Jingmo unable to leave, she murmured under her breath, “It’s useless. You can’t get out. This is Rong Fan’s designed space. You’ve been marked as his attack target. Without his permission, there’s no way out.”

Bo Jingmo’s eyes darkened, silently staring at the barrier.

After a long pause, he suddenly spoke: “Rong Fan had you stop me. What does he want to say to Xu Wei?”

Mu Chengsi froze, said nothing, but turned to glance at Jiang Xi standing behind her.

Jiang Xi raised her eyes and answered for her: “Didn’t you already guess? We just want to stay alive.”

They were no longer on the same team. In the face of death, everyone would only fight for whatever benefitted themselves.

So what else could it be?

Hearing this, Bo Jingmo curved his lips but said nothing. He didn’t confirm, nor deny it.

A flicker of blood-red flashed in his eyes. He looked down at the invisible barrier in front of him, his hand applying slight pressure.

On the other side, Rong Fan had just stepped out of the elevator when he suddenly groaned faintly, furrowing his brows.

Next to him, Yu Li raised an eyebrow, her concern obviously fake: “Stomachache? Want to rest a bit before killing Bo Jingmo? Wouldn’t want to lose.”

“……”

Rong Fan gritted his teeth and stood up. “No. Let’s go.”

But after a few steps, he turned around again. “If Bo Jingmo really betrayed you, when I kill him, you won’t interfere—okay?”

Rong Fan’s concern wasn’t baseless. After all, Bo Jingmo was still Xu Wei’s husband.

But the woman just let out a light laugh: “Of course. Don’t worry. I won’t interfere.”

Having received her promise, Rong Fan didn’t say more and led Yu Li to the door of Room 402.

When he saw the three people inside standing there unharmed, his gaze flickered. “See, I wasn’t lying.”

The people inside the room also turned quickly at the sound of footsteps.

Yu Li leaned against the outside railing. Suddenly, she felt an intense gaze fall on her. She turned her head—and locked eyes with Bo Jingmo.

As their eyes met, the smile on the woman’s face slowly faded, and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

“Hubby, why didn’t you kill Jiang Xi?”

Bo Jingmo pursed his lips and stood up, wanting to walk over—but Yu Li suddenly pointed at Rong Fan.

“I made a bet with him. If you didn’t kill Jiang Xi, I’d allow him to take your place.”

She walked up to the man and looked up, speaking softly: “Bo Jingmo, are you going to disappoint me?”

The man paused for a moment, then reached up to adjust the coat draped over Yu Li’s shoulders.

Looking into her eyes, Bo Jingmo’s gaze softened slightly as he lowered his head and gently embraced her.

“I won’t.”
