I, the Ruthless Villain, Strangled My Fiancée at the Beginning and Left the Protagonists Terrified Chapter 102

Shen Wuxiao took a few bites of his noodles and set down the bowl and chopsticks. Liu Ruyan quickly poured him a cup of tea, grabbed a tissue, and handed it to him. Shen Wuxiao wiped his mouth, then turned to look at her.

“I came here today to talk to you about something,” he said.

Liu Ruyan nodded, silently waiting for him to continue.

“Do you know that your circumstances are extremely rare? One in a million,” Shen Wuxiao said.

Liu Ruyan looked puzzled. “I don’t understand.”

“I’m not joking,” Shen Wuxiao said, speaking seriously. “You’re one in a million. Think about it— I killed your whole family, you wanted revenge, you failed to kill me, and then ended up sleeping with me, again and again. You’re completely obedient to me—whether it’s because of tolerance or something else, that’s just how it is.”

Hearing those words, Liu Ruyan felt a wave of unease. It sounded like a final confession… the kind people make before killing someone.

“I’ll give you a suggestion,” Shen Wuxiao said. “If someone like Lin Fan ever shows up again and tries to kill me, I’ll let you know in advance. You can reach out and discuss cooperation with them.”

“Given how tragic your background is, they’ll definitely believe you. After all, who would doubt the hatred of a woman whose entire family I massacred?”

Liu Ruyan’s heart sank.

So he had already known she and Lin Fan had worked together to try and kill him.

Then why hadn’t he acted?

She had thought she hid everything well, especially after pulling out of the plan when Lin Fan got in trouble. But clearly, Shen Wuxiao knew everything.

Still, she couldn’t figure out what game he was playing.

“I… I really don’t understand…” she said, shaking her head.

“I never care about who my enemies are,” Shen Wuxiao said, “but do you know what I fear the most?”

Liu Ruyan shook her head again. What could someone like him possibly be afraid of?

“I’m most afraid,” Shen Wuxiao said slowly, “that once people realize how powerful I am, they’ll stop trying. Instead, they’ll just run and hide.”

“But if someone like you is involved, you’ll stir things up. You’ll give them ideas and push them to act. That’s what I want.”

Liu Ruyan was stunned.

She suddenly felt like her mind wasn’t enough to keep up.

Seeing her confused look, Shen Wuxiao sighed. “To me, you’re like Ma Su from the Three Kingdoms.”

“Let me explain it clearly—you’re a natural at sabotaging your own allies. If you work with them, I won’t have to worry at all. Get it?”

Liu Ruyan finally understood—and felt completely humiliated.

Was he calling her stupid?

Shen Wuxiao wasn’t joking.

He knew very well, and even the system had confirmed it: the people he had encountered so far weren’t truly strong protagonists.

This was a world of high-level martial arts. People like Ye Qingfeng or the brothers Lin Fan and Lin Chen were ordinary at best.

But sooner or later, he would encounter those powerful ones—cunning, patient, and ruthless.

To survive that, he needed to understand his enemies. But very little was known about Shen Wuxiao. That was his advantage.

And that’s where Liu Ruyan came in.

She had intelligence, though not enough to be dangerous to him. But she was extremely useful—smart, hard to find, and most importantly, trustworthy.

He even arranged for a few experts to appear around her, making others think she had built her own power. It was all for show.

To others, she looked like a hidden agent who endured humiliation while biding her time beside the enemy.

All she had to do was memorize a set of lines like a tragic monologue:

“My father is dead, my mother is dead, and my sister too. My whole family destroyed—I’m heartbroken!”

“The beast came to my home the next day and violated me!”

“I allowed him to use me to stay alive, but my heart burns with hatred!”

“I regret being weak—I had no chance for revenge!”

“Thank you for meeting me today. Here’s all the information I have!”

These weren’t just made-up lies. Every word could be verified. Who wouldn’t believe them?

Liu Ruyan didn’t know how to respond.

Shen Wuxiao gently stroked her cheek. “Ruyan, this is your chance—your only chance—to kill me.”

“You really think you can do it alone? That’s impossible. So, use your strengths.”

“Cooperate with someone powerful. No matter how you do it, if you can get me killed, then that’s your ability at work. And during that time, I promise you won’t die.”

Liu Ruyan could tell—he wasn’t joking.

She thought deeply.

It was true. Killing Shen Wuxiao by herself was just a fantasy.

Especially now—being mentally ill, the more she hated him, the more she felt drawn to him.

But if she could recover while pretending to go along with his plan, and then find a real expert to cooperate with, her chances would be much higher.

Even if they failed, she wouldn’t be the one dying—her partners would.

And besides, this was Shen Wuxiao’s own idea.

He was too smart for his own good.

But… could her illness really be cured?

Liu Ruyan believed it could. She’d already seen early signs of recovery. Dr. Biao Bilian was skilled—she would help her recover fully.

Once that happened, her love for Shen Wuxiao would fade, and she’d be free to seek her revenge with a clear mind.

If not, she feared her illness might consume her, and she might end up helping Shen Wuxiao by killing his enemies instead. That would be her complete defeat.

With her mind made up, Liu Ruyan nodded. “Alright.”

There was no point hiding anymore.

“Good,” Shen Wuxiao said with a nod. “But let me make one thing clear. You may not be my woman, but I’m extremely possessive.”

“If you gave yourself to me cleanly, then I won’t allow another man to touch you. If you try to sell your body in the name of cooperation, I’ll kill you myself—with 3,600 cuts.”

Liu Ruyan stared at him, her heart aching. Did he really think she was that shameless?

She had always been clever and cautious. She even wore gloves when shaking hands with others in the past.

How could she possibly use her body to trade for cooperation? That kind of deal was an illusion. Real value came from real ability.

Gritting her teeth, she said, “Even though I hate you and want to kill you, the fact is—I gave myself to you. Apart from you, no one else will ever touch me!”

“Good. Since you’ve said that, I’ll treat you well tonight,” Shen Wuxiao chuckled, pulling her into his arms and heading straight upstairs.

“Mm… ah~” Liu Ruyan bit her lip.

Damn it—that feeling of attachment was returning.

I’ll definitely go see Dr. Bilian tomorrow…

She didn’t want to think too much anymore. She focused on the moment and leaned in, lips pressing against his. But just as her lips touched his, Shen Wuxiao paused.

“Wait,” he said. “Let’s run an experiment first—just to be sure.”

“What?” Liu Ruyan was confused.

“I’ll give you a number. Call him. His name is Ye Qingfeng. Be direct—talk to him about working together to kill me.”

Liu Ruyan nodded reluctantly.

Right now, she didn’t dare disobey Shen Wuxiao at all.

So, she took out her phone and got ready to dial.
