The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Not far from where Ye Linyuan and the others clashed with Zhao Yang, Yan Fan, his face grave, slowly put away his binoculars and headed away in the other direction.

"The timeline and corresponding events are correct. I have indeed been reborn five years ago. However, the development of events is completely different from what I remember. I remember that at this point in my previous life, although there was also a conflict between Ye Linyuan and Zhao Yang, the situation was completely reversed. It shouldn't have been that Zhao Yang was completely overwhelmed by Ye Linyuan. Instead, it should have been that Zhao Yang, with the help of his first woman, humiliated Ye Linyuan, and the two finally faced off!"

"But this time everything has changed. The person who was supposed to be showing off and getting slapped in the face is now the one getting slapped in the face and breaking down, while the person who was supposed to be showing off and getting slapped in the face is now enjoying the show with a beauty in his arms. Is it because my arrival has changed history?"

"While the butterfly effect exists, isn't this effect happening a little too fast and too strongly?"

"Or is it that I didn't actually travel to the original world's timeline, but rather to a so-called parallel world five years in advance?"

Upon thinking of this, Yan Fan instantly fell silent.

If it's the former, then with his precognitive abilities, dealing with Ye Linyuan wouldn't be difficult. If it's the latter, then his advantage would be much weaker, and the difficulty of dealing with Ye Linyuan would rise from easy to hellish. Without a certainty about the future, even if he came from five years in the future, he wouldn't have much confidence in facing Ye Linyuan.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, especially since he personally experienced the era when Ye Linyuan was ruthless and domineering!

"Wait a minute, although it differs somewhat from history, the events did indeed occur, only the outcome has changed. In that case, could I first contact Zhao Yang to see if we can form an alliance, and incidentally, get history back on track, or even... let me replace him!"

"I remember this guy wasn't much of a talent, but he had a lot of female admirers. Each of his female confidantes was a leader in their respective fields. With the help of these women, he was able to become a highly sought-after figure in the upper echelons of Haicheng's business and political circles three years later. So if I snatched his woman away beforehand, could I take her place?"

Yan Fan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"This guy only got rich because of women. Judging from the current situation, it seems that his first woman has been taken away by Ye Linyuan. This means that history is not unchangeable. With my own abilities, plus the help of the woman who originally belonged to Zhao Yang, I will definitely be able to achieve even greater success than Zhao Yang in his previous life."

Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed across Yan Fan's face.

"Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang, we have a common enemy. Since you're no match for Ye Linyuan anyway, why not give me your opportunity? By combining our strength, we can definitely confront Ye Linyuan head-on, and even completely overwhelm him!"

"I remember his second woman was quite mysterious. I think her name was Zhao Xinyue. She was an extremely wealthy woman who gave him a lot of money in the early stages of his business. She never showed her face in public. And judging from the timeline, it's been quite recently. There's just too little information about her, so she's hard to find."

"However, his third woman was quite easy to find, but extremely difficult to get close to. If I remember correctly, she was Li Yue, the eldest daughter of the Li family, one of the seven great families in the north. I don't know how Zhao Yang was able to get in touch with such a big shot as Li Yue, as an ordinary college student."

Considering Li Yue's noble status, if he rashly went to her door, it would be easy to achieve half the result with twice the effort, or even get the opposite of what he wanted. Therefore, he decided to go to Zhao Yang's fourth woman, who was also the woman who helped Zhao Yang the most in the early stages!

The only daughter of the Lord of Haicheng, and also the most beloved granddaughter of the Deputy Governor of Jiangnan Province, the current captain of the Haicheng Public Security Bureau's security brigade, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Wanmeng!

Although the Shen family's power cannot be compared with the eight great families, it is still one of the few families that are second only to the eight great families. Moreover, the Shen family is involved in politics, has extensive connections, and wields immense power. Even if they were to confront the eight great families head-on, they could not win, but they would still be able to protect themselves.

If I could win over Shen Wanmeng, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, it would be a huge help to me no matter what path I take in the future!

Thinking of this, Yan Fan decisively turned a corner and prepared to go to a park about 5 kilometers away from the mall. There would be a case of intentional stabbing there today. In the end, the murderer was subdued by Shen Wanmeng, who happened to be passing by, after injuring two passers-by.

Moreover, I remember that Shen Wanmeng, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, was fiercely opposed to evil and had an overflowing sense of justice. She would naturally have a good impression of people who also had a strong sense of justice.

In her words, this is called having the same goals and ideals!

Therefore, if planned well, it might be possible to establish contact with Shen Wanmeng in this case of intentional injury!

The thought of how he had risen rapidly after stealing Zhao Yang's woman, dominating the battlefield and even surpassing Ye Linyuan made Yan Fan want to laugh. He subconsciously turned around to look at Zhao Yang's position, which was no longer visible, and silently apologized for a second.

I'm sorry, Zhao Yang, but I, Yan Fan, will take care of your woman!

Zhao Yang was unaware that someone had already set their sights on him, and he was currently in unimaginable agony.

It wasn't a psychological attack, but purely physical, because Xiao Ruoxi had already called the mall's security guards, who dragged him to a place without surveillance cameras and punched and kicked him.

As for why the mall's security guards acted so readily and arbitrarily after hearing Xiao Ruoxi's words, it's because the mall belongs to the Xiao family.

"Stop! You're breaking the law, don't you know? I'm calling the police! I'm getting a lawyer! I'm going to sue you!"

The security guard who was beating him up burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"Hey bro, are you out of your mind? Do you think we don't know the law? With all the embarrassing things you just did, calling it 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble' or 'intentional assault' would be the least of your worries. You could even sue us for sexual harassment. As for us? Heh heh, don't bother with us. Calling us 'good Samaritans' wouldn't be an exaggeration. And you're calling the police on us? Come on, go ahead and call them!"

As he spoke, the security guard took out his phone, unlocked it, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Zhao Yang immediately fell silent.

If it weren't for the earlier scene where he wanted to hit someone, he would be the victim no matter what. But just now, because he was cuckolded, he was so angry that he was dizzy and wanted to hit someone. Even though he was stopped in the end, the act of hitting someone did happen. The surveillance camera could have captured it. If he called the police, he might be judged as sexual harassment and attempted assault, just like the security guard in front of him said. On the contrary, they might actually get a reputation for being good Samaritans.

Most importantly, if I were to be labeled as a sexual harasser because of this incident, wouldn't I be doomed at school?

How will I be able to hold my head high in the future?!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yang silently curled up, covering his face with his arms to prevent the other party from disfiguring him.

It's all Leng Qinghan's fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!

"Stop! What are you doing!"

Just as Zhao Yang was silently preparing himself to be beaten again, a clear voice, filled with an undeniable righteousness, rang out from afar. The next moment, a tall figure appeared in Zhao Yang's sight.

"I am Shen Wanmeng, captain of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Haicheng Public Security Bureau. I am now arresting you on charges of intentional assault. You may choose to remain silent, but everything you say next will be used as evidence in court!"
