Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

“I’ve inquired about it, but Xiao You won’t tell. He only said that the other party is a big shot and we have to hide our identities. He won’t even reveal his name and only told us to call him by his number for now.”

Bai Weiran chuckled softly beside him.

After he helped Xiaoyou win the tricky question from the sugar daddy, Xiaoyou couldn't wait to invite him to join.

The conditions he offered Xiaoyou for the job were that he didn't care about the salary or the position, but she had to keep her identity confidential and have an independent research workspace. Unless he allowed it, no one else was allowed to enter or disturb her, and she shouldn't let anyone else see him casually.

Follow his plan—

This way, he can work normally in the real world while joining the team as [Lan Wei], thus preventing Chen Li from getting out of the trap.

Do you want to come back?

—Pah! Dream on!

Xiao You was shrewd and understood human nature. After hearing his conditions, he suddenly realized what was going on.

She was certain that Bai Weiran was a powerful figure who had signed a non-compete agreement.

Biochemical research is conducted all over the world, and the competition is fierce. Poaching and job-hopping are common occurrences. Researchers move between different research teams, large and small, for higher pay, better research environments, or because some are tired of the infighting and lack of work within their teams.

In recent years, non-compete clauses have become increasingly popular.

But not everyone needs to sign it.

It is specifically targeted at those core research personnel.

The non-compete clause is there, but everyone needs to eat, so how can they be bound by the clause?

There are always ways to circumvent policies. Many bigwigs have entered new environments by hiding their identities. They usually keep a low profile and do not give their real names.

When entering a new environment, one must use a pseudonym, keep a very low profile, and rarely show one's face.

Bai Weiran hadn't thought of any of this, but Xiao You filled in the blanks for him.

Xiao You's reasoning is reasonable, after all, Bai Weiran possesses the skills of one of the world's top biochemists.

Bai Weiran also admired Xiao You's style, which had a certain shrewdness of a businessman.

Xiao You wasn't simply fooled; her IQ dropped, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she knelt down and begged the god to come in.

Xiao You invited him to consider two aspects.

Firstly, if Bai Weiran didn't want the team to thrive, he wouldn't need to help her attract investors. Since he has the ability, he could easily find someone on the spot to do him a favor, and everyone would be willing to open their doors to him. Or he could go and win over investors himself and establish his own independent business, wouldn't that be better?

Secondly, Bai Weiran's current level far surpasses that of their team. It's laughable to say that she stole their research results. Have you ever seen an empress steal the status of a palace maid?

Based on these two points of logic and after discussing with Bai Weiran, Xiao You made a decisive decision, vouching for Bai Weiran herself and inviting Bai Weiran to join the team.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

With a normal person like Xiao You around, it's no wonder Chen Li was voted out of the team.

As Bai Weiran was thinking, he heard Chen Li sigh deeply, stub out his cigarette in the ashtray, and lean back on the sofa, looking inscrutable and melancholy with his brows furrowed.

"Xiao You, sometimes you're too naive."

"How many eyes were watching when the research team was making great strides?"

"The person who comes at this time has ulterior motives."

Chen Li spoke with a heavy heart and unwavering conviction, his attitude filled with the fatherly tone of "How could she be so insensible? I have to teach her how to behave."

Yuan Jixi's expression turned solemn upon hearing this.

She hadn't initially thought the matter was so serious; she trusted Xiao You's judgment. But now, after being reprimanded by Chen Li's fatherly manner, Yuan Jixi, who respected and loved Chen Li even more, naturally trusted him and immediately became nervous.

"Mr. Chen Li, what should we do?"

"We can't let a scheming guy stay on the team."

Yuan Jixi's face hardened.

"Or... should I go... deal with him?"

There are always some unscrupulous methods that can terrify people, such as beating someone up, or even several times if one beating isn't enough.

"—No!" Chen Li interrupted in a deep voice.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. If you rashly try to drive him away, you will not be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and it will only make things more complicated."

"Go and find out what he looks like and his real name, and bring it back to me."

He needs to know this person's background.

If you want to steal my things, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Ideally, this guy would be really good, so he could use a simulator to track him every day and take all his achievements.

This is not for myself, but for the team, for all of humanity.

Because I am a person with a sense of justice, I would rather use those achievements for the benefit of humanity than entrust them to someone whose background I do not know.

Chen Li's eyes flashed with darkness, his face was unfathomable, and his words were tender and affectionate.

"I have no choice, I can't just leave them alone."

"They have been unkind to me, but I cannot be unjust to them. The suffering of the people is unbearable."

Bai Weiran raised an eyebrow beside him.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you.

You should be lucky that I'm the one doing this task today. I have a good temper. If it were some other hot-tempered guy today, he would have shown up and slapped you so hard that you wouldn't even recognize your own mother.

Yuan Jixi was deeply moved and bent down to bow respectfully to him.

Chen Li's eyes darted around.

Bai Weiran let out a soft "Oh!"

Sorry, I scolded you too early.

Chen Li actually did other shameless things.

Xx

My yandere lovers, there will be another update this afternoon ヾ('▽｀;)ゝ

Chapter Six: Thank you, great wingman!

Chen Li's shamelessness wasn't explicitly stated in the mission description; Bai Weiran noticed it while hiding nearby.

As a man, everyone fantasizes; having some fantasies is normal.

Food and sex are human nature, but they must be consumed in moderation.

Chen Li's fantasies are so shameless—even a straight man like him wants to punch someone.

He can label every action she takes with a fantasy.

For example, right now, when Yuan Jixi bows to Chen Li, Chen Li looks at her chest covered by her shirt, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

[Ha, woman, bending over, huh? Trying to seduce me with feigned indifference?]

In fact, Yuan Jixi's buttons were fastened all the way up to her neck, so nothing could be seen.

Or, if Yuan Jixi wore a bodycon skirt, even though the skirt was knee-length, and it was an elegant and dignified outfit typical of a working woman, Chen Li could still see her hips as she walked.

[Ha, women, wearing skirts? Their feigned indifference is so alluring!]

The two discussed serious matters at his home.

[Ha, woman, coming to a man's house alone, your intentions are quite obvious.]

Yuan Jixi invited him to his rented apartment to discuss his research, and even politely offered him the sofa.

Ha, woman, inviting me to your house alone, your intentions are quite obvious.

Yuan Jixi flicked her hair in front of him.

[Tsk, woman, flipping her hair and revealing her neck, such an obvious hint.]

No matter what Yuan Jixi does—Bai Weiran suspects that even if Yuan Jixi does nothing and just lies there motionless, Chen Li will still think it's a hint to him.

His eyes revealed a mixture of arrogance, disdain, indifference, and a fleeting glint of darkness.

Damn it, every time Bai Weiran sees this guy, he wants to stick out two fingers and poke his eyes out.

Yuan Jixi was unaware of these things.

She respected and loved Chen Li and was willing to do anything for him.

Yuan Jixi, the target of this mission, is different from the previous yandere girl. Although she is young, she has lived a difficult life since childhood, served in the army for several years, participated in war, and has a soldier's upright demeanor.

She lacks the stereotypical, conventional image of a woman; instead, she is a straightforward, tough woman.

She became a research assistant, and even when she wore a suit, she buttoned the top button neatly, appearing very reserved.

She's also concrete and steel, completely oblivious to this kind of perspective.

Bai Weiran was very pleased with her ability to resist wishful thinking.

Because Chen Li is such a pretentious person.

He knew perfectly well that Yuan Jixi respected and loved him, and that if he asked, Yuan Jixi would offer him her pure body without hesitation.

Yuan Jixi is a devoted, yandere type.

I am willing to do anything for him and I love and respect him completely.

However, Chen Li believed that if he took the initiative to ask for it, he would be at a disadvantage.

Beg me, woman, beg me, and I'll give it to you—

I don't just want you to give it to me; I also want you to forget your self-respect and morality, abandon all your bottom line, and beg me like an insatiable beast.

The fantasies are great, but the straight-laced girl doesn't think that way.

Chen Li didn't say anything, and Yuan Jixi himself hadn't even thought in that direction.

One is made of reinforced concrete, the other is a crazy fantasist with no bottom line, yet the two have coexisted peacefully to this day.

Bai Weiran thought this was another kind of world wonder.

On the bright side, he doesn't have to worry about her impulsively offering herself to him, nor does he have to worry about her stabbing Chen Li to death with a woodcutter's knife in a desperate act.
