My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Fangzhou Financial Center, 50th floor, Anmeng Insurance.

……

"Tell me, isn't this your problem?"

Hua Lingyou slammed her hand on the table and pointed at the man across the conference table, launching into a tirade of abuse.

"How could Gun Red only have three pages of strength?! If your intelligence hadn't been wrong, neither of us would have been able to fight him head-on, please! We almost died!"

Hua Lingyou patted her heaving chest, trying to calm her resentment.

There were five people sitting in the conference room: Tang Ming, Hua Lingyou, and three other men.

The man who was being verbally abused by Hua Lingyou was named Zeng Que, and he was Hua Lingyou's intelligence contact.

"Your intelligence on the Demon Clan is truly impressive, but I can't predict the actual battles. Hua Lingyou, you're asking too much of me!"

"Who knows if you've gotten worse..."

What Hua Lingyou was unhappy about was the other party's attitude. As an informant, she didn't even have information about the other party's specific strength. Before the mission started, there was no contingency plan for the magical girl who would be assigned to the mission. You have to understand that she was bringing Tang Ming, a newcomer, with her!

Hua Lingyou originally chose this mission in the southern suburbs mainly to train Tang Ming's combat skills and test his progress over the past week.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't a wizard from the Anti-Magic Department who came, but a magical girl?! She almost lost her life in the process.

Tang Ming rested his head on his left hand, sitting at the end of the table with his eyes closed, trying to relax. He wanted to slack off during work hours, but he didn't want to underestimate the company's work. It wasn't something that could be done by simply transforming into a fighter.

"Alright! The boss's not here, so you're just causing trouble, Lingyou?"

"Zeng Que, you shouldn't argue with her. If she punches you, your body won't be able to take it."

The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table interrupted the argument, and someone reprimanded him, finally bringing the atmosphere in the meeting room back to its proper seriousness.

After glancing at the two who had stopped arguing, the middle-aged man slowly spoke:

"In any case, the mission was mostly completed... It's understandable that it wasn't perfectly completed since you were working with Tang Ming."

After saying that, he smiled and looked into the distance: "Tang Ming, you are outstanding. I hope you will continue to serve the company wholeheartedly."

"If the pay is good and it's not always this dangerous..." Tang Ming spread his hands noncommittally.

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't say anything more. He glanced at the boy next to him who had his legs propped up on the table.

"Xiao Zhang, you have a good eye this time, discovering such a promising talent as Tang Ming..."

"I spotted him immediately on the Huanshi Interchange; I sensed a very strong magical aura from him."

Xiao Zhang interrupted the middle-aged man directly, tilting his head as he spoke.

The middle-aged man ignored the other person's rudeness and, after some thought, hesitated before saying:

"The same purple body... so could Tang Ming... be that Void Realm expert from before?"

Xiao Zhang affirmed, "Very likely. Purple aberrant material is the rarest thing in the void. A body covered in amethyst is something I've never seen before, except for that one person."

But Hua Lingyou frowned: "That should be a woman, right? Tang Ming's transformed form is huge and ugly, impossible!"

Zeng Que glanced at her and interjected, "It's just that her figure and voice are like a woman's... After all, we've never seen her true form. On the day of the Blood Calamity, Tang Ming was also in the Sky Tower, and he even lost his memory."

"You know, that's the one who disappeared after the Bloody Calamity..."

"It's quite a coincidence. We wouldn't have known about this if we hadn't investigated," the middle-aged man nodded.

Having said that, Hua Lingyou didn't refute it anymore, but it was clear that she couldn't accept that the powerful person was a man.

The middle-aged man's gaze softened as he looked at Tang Ming. No one knew what he was thinking, but Tang Ming felt extremely uncomfortable.

It seems like we've been targeted by an old fox...

Tang Ming remained noncommittal regarding the previous topic, stating that his background was completely clear. His kind and obedient wife, as well as his relatives and friends, were all people he had known for many years. If he hadn't accidentally fallen into a "thief's den," he would have remained an ordinary person for his entire life.

As for what other people consider him to be, that's up to them. Tang Ming, however, hopes to use this opportunity to improve his treatment.

"If you all think he's important, then you should teach him! Why weren't you willing in the first place? Were you scared?"

Hua Lingyou looked at Xiao Zhang with a half-smile.

"I'm focused on honing my combat skills. Teaching disciples would be a waste of time. Besides, with a beautiful woman teaching me, Tang Ming would probably be more willing."

Xiao Zhang covered his head with his hands, grinning without any regard for seniority.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have a family..."

Tang Ming sighed, thinking that Xiao Zhang looked a few years younger than him and always spoke without restraint.

"Didn't Yiyou have her background checked? Your wife goes out to work every day, and her salary is so low. Why don't you let her be a housewife and not work? You're the one supporting her anyway."

Before Tang Ming could speak, Hua Lingyou grumbled discontentedly, "Is your brain filled with alien matter? You'll get bitten on the head by a virtual beast."

"Why does working have to make a lot of money? Aren't people allowed to cultivate their character and contribute to society? Housewife? I'll shove your head down the toilet! Tang Ming, don't let him influence you."

Xiao Zhang rolled his eyes and muttered, "Why such a big reaction..."

"Xiao Zhang, shut up! Don't interfere in other people's families." The middle-aged man's tone was tinged with anger, and the warning made Xiao Zhang shrink back and stop talking.

The rest of the meeting proceeded smoothly. There were only five of them in the meeting room, but that didn't mean the company was small. Anmeng Insurance, located on the upper floors of Fangzhou Financial Center, had an entire floor of office space.

After the meeting, Tang Ming, as a newcomer, was the last to leave. He turned off the air conditioner and pushed open the glass door. Outside, there was a noisy hall of more than 500 square meters, with hundreds of employees sitting or standing in neat and orderly office positions.

Some were reading insurance recommendations aloud over the phone, some were discussing insurance details with clients over tea, and some were engrossed in typing away at computer desks piled high with documents...

Tang Ming walked down the long corridor and returned to his place, a small office.

The company he now works for is called Anmeng Insurance, which is actually the "Void," the source of evil disasters, and its headquarters in Fangzhou City.

This company is not just a shell to conceal their "evil" operations, but also a very important source of funding for the organization.

Tang Ming recalled his conversation with Lin Ruoyu during dinner a while ago:

"Can't these magical girls choose where they fight? For example, somewhere far away from residential areas. If they keep fighting like this, the city will be destroyed sooner or later."

Tang Ming and Lin Ruoyu watched the dazzling battle scene on TV, where the magical girl was smashing the void beast into a sorry state, and the surrounding ground and houses were also smashed to pieces...

Lin Ruoyu shook her head decisively and said:

"That won't work. The magical girl is here to capture the Void Beasts. Nobody knows where the Void Beasts will choose to appear, otherwise things wouldn't be like that outside our neighborhood."

The two looked out onto the balcony in unison, where the incessant sounds of construction echoed from a pile of bricks and rubble.

"Too."

Tang Ming handed Lin Ruoyu a crumpled piece of A4 paper. It was a small piece of paper that had been left at the door. He wondered how the person who threw it in had gotten into the community...
