Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Chapter 124: Misunderstandings abound, love is in turmoil

The night sky in the east of the city was torn apart by the roar of unknown creatures, and the flashing alarm lights made the originally quiet streets as bright as day. When Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen arrived at the scene, they saw a shocking scene: twisted creatures of various shapes, emitting a disgusting smell, were frantically attacking the defense barrier.

"Prepare for battle!" Xiao Yichen's voice was exceptionally calm in the chaos. He drew out his sword and rushed towards the monsters first. Chu Mengmeng followed closely behind him, waving the long whip in her hand like a spirit snake, repelling the approaching monsters one by one.

The battle was extremely fierce, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood back to back, coordinating each other's attacks tacitly. However, at this moment, a huge figure fell from the sky, attacking Chu Mengmeng with a devastating momentum.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Xiao Yichen exclaimed, and without hesitation stood in front of Chu Mengmeng, enduring the monster's attack.

"Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes were red with anger as she watched Xiao Yichen being knocked away, spurting blood from her mouth. She attacked the monster frantically, trying to buy time for Xiao Yichen.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and helped Xiao Yichen up. Chu Mengmeng looked closely and found that it was Xiao Yifeng!

"Brother, you..."

"Yi Chen is injured, leave it to me, you take him to get treatment!" Xiao Yifeng's tone was anxious, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Chu Mengmeng was full of complicated emotions.

Chu Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Xiao Yifeng. She helped Xiao Yichen up and asked anxiously, "How are you?"

"I'm fine..." Xiao Yichen shook his head weakly, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yifeng's direction, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Why... do you want to save me?" Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled a little. She didn't understand why Xiao Yifeng would appear at this time, and she didn't understand why he wanted to save Xiao Yichen.

"He is my brother after all..." Xiao Yifeng avoided Chu Mengmeng's gaze, with a barely perceptible bitterness in his tone.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen suddenly grabbed Chu Mengmeng's hand and said in a low voice: "Be careful of your brother..."

"What did you say?" Chu Mengmeng was interrupted by Xiao Yifeng before she could react.

"Yichen is injured, don't provoke him!" Xiao Yifeng said, and then helped Xiao Yichen away.

Chu Mengmeng watched them leave, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. Xiao Yichen's words echoed in her ears, making her begin to wonder if this sudden crisis was related to Xiao Yifeng?

Chu Mengmeng stood there in a daze, Xiao Yichen's words echoing in her ears, exploding like thunder. Xiao Yifeng? Why did he do this? Was all this a conspiracy designed by him?

"Ms. Xiao, please calm down. Things are not what you think!" A deep voice interrupted Chu Mengmeng's thoughts.

She turned around suddenly and saw a man in a black robe and a hood standing behind her. This man was tall and exuded a strong pressure that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I can explain everything to you clearly." The man in black robe spoke calmly, but with unquestionable majesty, "Xiao Yifeng is not your enemy. Everything he did was to protect you and Xiao Yichen."

"Protect us?" Chu Mengmeng sneered, "He almost killed Yi Chen. Is this what you call protection?"

The man in black robe was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. "The truth of the matter is far more complicated than you think. I can't reveal too much to you, but I can guarantee that Xiao Yifeng will never hurt you and Xiao Yichen."

"Enough!" Chu Mengmeng didn't want to listen anymore. She pushed the man in black robe away and said coldly, "I believe in my eyes and my judgment. I will get to the bottom of this matter. If I find out that you have deceived me in any way, I will never let you go!"

After saying that, Chu Mengmeng turned around and left without looking back, leaving the man in black robe with a look of surprise.

On the other side, Xiao Yichen returned to his residence with the help of Xiao Yifeng. He looked pale and his breath was weak, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Brother, why are you doing this?" Xiao Yichen's voice was very soft, but with a hint of questioning.

Xiao Yifeng sighed and looked at his brother with complicated eyes, "Some things are better for you not to know."

"No, I have to know!" Xiao Yichen struggled to sit up, "You clearly knew that I liked Mengmeng, why did you treat her like that? What is your purpose?"

"Yichen, calm down!" Xiao Yifeng held Xiao Yichen's shoulders, "I do this for your own good, to protect you!"

"Protect me?" Xiao Yichen sneered, "Is this what you call protection? Do you know that you will hurt her by doing this?"

Xiao Yichen's words left Xiao Yifeng speechless. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"I really misjudged you!" Xiao Yichen closed his eyes in disappointment. "I thought you really wanted to make amends, but I didn't expect you to be the same as before, selfish and only caring about yourself!"

Xiao Yichen's words deeply hurt Xiao Yifeng's heart. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. He knew that he was sorry for Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng, but he had no choice.

"Yi Chen, listen to me..."

"Enough!" Xiao Yichen opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of anger and disappointment, "I don't want to see you now, go away!"

Xiao Yifeng sighed helplessly, and finally turned and left. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, and he could only have a good talk when Xiao Yichen calmed down.

Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Yifeng's departing back, his heart filled with pain and confusion. He didn't know who to trust, nor did he know what to do. He only knew that he had to find out the truth as soon as possible in order to protect his beloved woman.

At this time, Chu Mengmeng was traveling alone in the night of the city. There was a determined light flashing in her eyes. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to find the truth and protect herself and Xiao Yichen!

As night fell, the city fell into silence, with only the street lights emitting dim light, making Chu Mengmeng's lonely figure look particularly slender. She walked aimlessly, replaying Xiao Yichen's words and the black-robed man's explanation in her mind. The two completely different statements intertwined in her mind, making her feel confused.

"Mengmeng!"

Suddenly, a familiar call came from behind. Chu Mengmeng turned around suddenly and saw Xiao Yichen running towards her with an anxious look and a hint of worry.

Before she could open her mouth, a sound of breaking air came from the side, and a black shadow flashed by and went straight to Chu Mengmeng's face.

"careful!"

Xiao Yichen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he flew towards Chu Mengmeng, holding her tightly under his body. With a muffled "bang", a powerful impact came, and Xiao Yichen groaned, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, and hurriedly supported Xiao Yichen. Looking at his pale face, her heart was filled with self-blame and worry, "How are you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Xiao Yichen shook his head, enduring the pain in his body, and looked at Chu Mengmeng firmly, "I won't let anything happen to you."

These few simple words warmed Chu Mengmeng's heart. She knew that no matter what happened, Xiao Yichen would protect her without hesitation.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yichen looked around with sharp eyes, trying to find the attacker's trace.

However, the opponent was obviously well prepared. After the attack missed, he quickly disappeared into the night without leaving any trace.

Xiao Yichen helped Chu Mengmeng stand up, protected her behind him, and vigilantly observed the movements around him.

"Let's leave here first." Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice.

Chu Mengmeng nodded. She knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter. The most urgent priority was to ensure safety first.

The two walked side by side on the quiet street, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Chu Mengmeng secretly looked at Xiao Yichen beside her. His profile looked particularly profound under the light of the street lamp, and there was a firm light flashing in his eyes.

"Yi Chen, why... do you want to save me?" Chu Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in her heart.

Xiao Yichen paused, turned to look at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes filled with complicated emotions, "Because... you are my woman, I can't let you get hurt."

Chu Mengmeng's heart trembled slightly. She could feel the sincerity and determination in Xiao Yichen's words, but her heart was still full of contradictions and confusion.

"But...your brother..."

"I know." Xiao Yichen interrupted Chu Mengmeng, "I will find out everything and give you an explanation."

His tone was firm and unquestionable. Chu Mengmeng knew that Xiao Yichen was determined to find out the truth.

"I believe you." Chu Mengmeng raised her head, looked into Xiao Yichen's eyes, and said word by word.

Xiao Yichen smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked Chu Mengmeng's cheek, "Thank you, Mengmeng."

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of trust and love, as if the misunderstanding and danger just now no longer existed.

However, they didn't know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching...

Xiao Yichen began to investigate the truth of the misunderstanding. He secretly visited the witnesses who were present that day and tried to find clues from Xiao Yifeng. However, Xiao Yifeng was always evasive and refused to reveal any information.

This further strengthened Xiao Yichen's suspicion. He felt that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy behind all this...
