The Target Always Thinks That I Like Him! Chapter 20

After being consoled(fooled) by Big A, little B and system, Xiang Han walked into his office and started thinking of ways to save the target.

In reality, this task was relatively simple; he just needed to help the target take his revenge on the sc.u.m and become a successful businessman. In other words, he just had to get rid of the b.u.t.terfly effects stemming from the transmigrator's actions.

In Xiang Han's opinion, he was completely capable of using the Jiang Family's influence to crush the Zhou Family and then gift the entire Jiang Family to the target. It was quick, efficient and beautifully simple.

Big A and Little B, [...] Then why do we still need you? Can't we just get anyone? If you don't bond with him, how can we pick up his resonance and pull him back, cough cough...

The System was also extremely pitiful, not only did it not know the truth, it was still seriously thinking of how to help them. [Mr. Xiang, the requirements are for you to help the Target take revenge, not for you to take revenge on the Target's behalf. Also, the Target is currently a student, even if you give him the Jiang Family's business, he will not know how to manage it.]

Xiang Han: [So you are saying I not only have to raise him, I still need to teach him business and help him take revenge?]

System: [That's right.]

[What's the difference between this and raising a son?] Xiang Han's heart felt stuffy. If he had a son with Lu Ze, it was still okay. But why did he have to help other people raise their son?

[And also, Little Nine, in the future… can you not call him the Target.] Xiang Han hesitated before saying this.

[Ah? Why?] System did not understand. In the last world, they had called him the Target all along.

[When you call ‘Target', I will unconsciously think of Lu Ze.] Xiang Han was upset.

[S-So it's like this. Then, I'll call him by his name next time.]

At his office, there wasn't much that required Xiang Han to personally handle. He only needed to approve the more important matters and ensure everything was in order. In the previous world, he had followed by Lu Ze's side for many years and naturally learnt many things along the way. Together with the System's help, he was able to settle all the doc.u.ments quickly.

In the afternoon, there was supposed to be a gathering but Xiang Han directly declined since no one would dare say anything either way. He decided to return home to take a look at the protagonist. This was originally his main purpose in coming here.

The original host could not be considered a workaholic, but usually, he had many hobbies and rarely return home in the afternoon. Therefore, his actions this time around made some people misunderstand and even specifically prepare a present for him when he returned.

Returning to the villa, Housekeeper Zhang quickly went up and receive him. Wearing a pair of disposable gloves, he took his coat and quickly retreated a few steps, politely asking, “Sir, would you like the kitchen to prepare lunch now?”

Xiang Han's eyes lit up and a barrage of food crossed his mind. Just as he wanted to pick a few delicacies...

System acutely discovered this and hurriedly warned, [Your character setting! Remember your character setting!]

Xiang Han could only endure, his expression changing rapidly. Afterward, he swallowed his saliva and could only pretend to calmly answer ‘en'.

The System sighed in relief and Housekeeper Zhang was intrigued. Earlier on, he had the feeling that… the Sir seemed to be rather aggrieved.

Luckily, Xiang Han asked another question, “Where's the kid from this morning?”

Housekeeper Zhang immediately recovered and answered him seriously. “He's in the guest room on the second floor to the right.” Saying this, he glanced at Xiang Han meaningfully before carefully adding, “He has already been cleaned up, the guest room has also been cleaned before.”

Xiang Han paused mid-step. How come his words seemed to carry some ambiguity in them? But he didn't ponder too long. In order to not go out of character, he mildly gave a response.

Seeing that he ‘could not wait' to go up, Housekeeper Zhang was depressed. The sir's illness seemed to have worsened. Previously, it was at least consensual, but now...

As a loyal butler, he still had a conscience, how could he just sit by the side and not do anything? The proverb ‘ When the Lord does something wrong, the subordinates have to point it out', as the subordinate… he definitely didn't dare. Therefore, he took out his phone and called the original host's current boy toy, Little Lu.

Xiang Han entered the guestroom and quickly found Zhou Yue Ze. The other person was lying on the bed, his body was covered with a thin quilt. His face was flushed red and beads of sweat covered his forehead. Seeing Xiang Han enter, his eyes immediately turned murderous.

Xiang Han was puzzled. The weather was not that hot and the blanket was not even thick, why was the Target sweating so much? However, he did not think too much. He already had to help others raise a son, did they still want him to treat him as his own biological son? He wasn't the next door's Mr. w.a.n.g[1].

Sweeping his gaze over the sofa and using a clean piece of cloth to wipe it, Xiang Han relaxed and sat down.

“Get up first, we need to talk.” His tone was emotionless and his gla.s.ses s.h.i.+elded any expression he had, causing his entire aura to appear much colder.

Zhou Yue Ze gritted his teeth, a pair of sparkling black eyes staring furiously at him.

Xiang Han finally discovered something amiss. He walked forward and pulled off the blanket.

Zhou Yue Ze suddenly shut his eyes, his long lashes couldn't help but tremble, his face revealing an expression of humiliation. Underneath the quilt, his naked body was bounded by thin red ropes and his skin was an abnormal shade of red, looking extremely pretty.

Xiang Han froze, then looked away awkwardly while the tips of his ears grew suspiciously red. It must be said that apart from Lu Ze and his own father, Xiang Han had never seen another man's naked body, especially not like this...

He quickly covered the quilt back and calmed down, instantly realising what was going on. The transmigrator was scheming against both the Zhou and Jiang Family, not just Zhou Yue Ze. His ultimate goal was to destroy Jiang Han.

In the Jiang House, there was a bodyguard working as a spy, his main mission was to collect evidence of Jiang Han's and Zhou Yue Ze's indecent relations.h.i.+p and expose them.
Zhou Yue Ze had just become an adult, but the age on his ident.i.ty card was changed to 17 awhile ago. As things progressed, once this matter is exposed, Jiang Han would definitely have to endure other's spit.

Although the Jiang Family was influential in City A, they were still unable to control the entire country. With the pressure from strong public opinion, they would definitely be invited for tea[2]. Taking opportunity of the time Jiang Han was not around, the transmigrator will once more, instigate the Jiang Family to take action. Who knows, it might really hurt Jiang Han for once and for all.

However, it was a pity he was doomed to fail. Firstly, Jiang Han did not like to use force, secondly, he was unwilling to touch minors, thirdly… he cannot do it. Therefore, in the original plot, the transmigrator never succeeded. Now that Xiang Han was here, it was ever more impossible for him to succeed. Not retaliating was already letting him off lightly.

At the moment, Xiang Han was not considering all this. According to the thousands of dog blood[3] novels he had read before, that bodyguard definitely did not have the courage to appear in front of Jiang Han. Thus, he could only have rigged the room.

[Little nine, check the room.] He quickly threw out an order.

The system did a scan and found a few pin-hole cameras, conveniently destroying them in the process. Xiang Han harrumphed and looked over at Zhou Yue Ze once more.

Zhou Yue Ze's mind was already hazy, but his lips were bitten b.l.o.o.d.y, clearly trying to suppress something. Feeling Xiang Han approach, his eyes flew open and glared at him furiously but his fury was much weaker than before.

Xiang Han could not be more familiar with this sort of situation. Wasn't it that drug? Putting on an expressionless face, he quickly called for his private doctor and stared at Zhou Yue Ze in frustration.
