After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 273: Love-Brained, Hopeless

Night had fallen. Qi Mai arrived at Zhang Can’s place at the time they’d agreed on the night before.

The door opened, and seeing the odd expression on Zhang Can’s face, he paused. “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Can gave him a deep look, then shook his head. “Nothing.”

Qi Mai stepped inside. Not seeing Bo Jingmo around, he scratched his head. “Where’s Bo Jingmo? Didn’t he say he’d take us to find Yu Wenlin?”

At those words, Zhang Can’s steps halted.

“……”

No need to look—Bo Jingmo already went on a date with his girlfriend.

He glanced at the wall clock. Bo Jingmo said he’d be back before eleven. Who knew if that was true.

He continued packing his things, tone unchanged. “Not sure. Maybe he went to Yu Wenlin’s place first.”

Qi Mai nodded. Watching Zhang Can pack, he hesitated for a few seconds before slowly speaking.

“Do you really believe Bo Jingmo will help us? Honestly, I... got tricked by him before.”

To be precise, he was tricked by Bo Jingmo and that NPC together.

So Qi Mai had always been suspicious of Bo Jingmo.

Hearing that, Zhang Can paused, looked up at him. “So? What are you planning?”

“Maybe Bo Jingmo’s just using us to hit his 200,000 follower goal.” Qi Mai laid out his plan. “If you ask me, we have to find Bo Jingmo’s weakness. Get some leverage on him.”

Zhang Can: “……”

Actually, I found one. Would you believe me?

And Zhang Can also hadn’t told Qi Mai—Bo Jingmo wasn’t helping them out of kindness.

The only reason he got involved was because Zhang Can had promised to help him find Yu Li.

But Zhang Can didn’t intend to explain. For one, he wasn’t that close to Qi Mai, and two, Yu Li’s situation wasn’t something to tell just anyone.

Besides, they’d already changed plans.

So Zhang Can didn’t give a direct answer, just gave a vague “mm.”

“We’ll see how it goes.”

Qi Mai noticed Zhang Can didn’t seem too interested and swallowed the rest of his words.

The guy didn’t seem worried at all that Bo Jingmo might turn on them? Looked like he’d have to dig for clues himself.

【I suspect this Zhang Can already knows Bo Jingmo’s true identity. He said he knew Yu Li, but Yu Li is the one who killed Bo Jingmo.】

【Exactly, bro. Didn’t Yu Li say she knew Bo Jingmo had amnesia? She probably heard that from Zhang Can. That means his real character is likely a hidden villain.】

【Like Yu Li’s spy? And Bo Jingmo’s still naively helping him complete missions just to see Yu Li, not knowing he’s being used.】

【True that. Bo Jingmo clearly has feelings for Yu Li. Even with amnesia, just hearing her name made him stop what he was doing and want to go see her. That’s true love, man!】

【If it’s true love, then why did Yu Li kill him later? That’s so dramatic.】

【Yandere love, duh. They want all of their lover—body and soul. That’s probably what Yu Li wants too.】

【Damn, Zhang Can’s got it good. Being Yu Li’s inside man and using Bo Jingmo to get his tasks done.】

【Not only that, Yu Li probably knows how to deal with Bo Jingmo. If Zhang Can gets Bo Jingmo to her, this whole Dungeon will be cleared easily.】

【But there’s a big downside. Zhang Can’s working for two psychos. If Bo Jingmo finds out, he’s dead. If he pisses off Yu Li, he’s also dead.】

Zhang Can finished packing, realized Bo Jingmo still wasn’t back, and was about to suggest they head out first—

But just then, the balcony door opened, and a familiar black figure stood outside.

Compared to yesterday’s rage-filled presence, the male ghost now radiated a sense of joy. Even the way he looked at them was a lot gentler.

He gave them a glance, the corners of his lips lifting slightly. “Let’s go.”

Zhang Can: “……”

Bro, you’re not even trying to hide it.

No need to guess—Yu Li was definitely with Yu Wenlin and the others, and this guy was just waiting to see his girlfriend.

He silently complained: Love-brained. Completely hopeless.

Meanwhile, the viewers were starting to sense something was off too.

【Hmm? Why does Bo Jingmo seem... in a good mood?】

【Same. Last night he had that full-on “don’t mess with me” aura. Now... he’s like a puppy who just got petted by his owner.】

【LOL that’s so accurate, and honestly, it does fit.】

【Where did Bo Jingmo go? Why’s he so happy coming back?】

【Probably can’t wait to see Yu Li again. But too bad, your girlfriend’s the one who killed you~】

【The amnesiac puppy getting used... why does that sound kinda cute?】

…

Meanwhile, in an abandoned old house.

Four people stood in the dusty main hall, with old furniture covered in grime. Darkness filled every corner, and in the wild fields outside, rustling noises echoed through the night like hidden beasts.

The chirps of cicadas mixed with cat cries from the woods, their sharp, drawn-out notes sounding like a woman’s sorrowful sobs.

Quan Han held up a flashlight, her nerves on edge from all the surrounding noises.

Suddenly, she heard something from within the house and immediately shined her flashlight toward the sound.

Yu Wenlin, who had been examining something nearby, was caught off guard by the sudden light and immediately frowned. “Can you not?”

Quan Han hurriedly moved the light away and bent over apologetically. “Sorry, Brother Yu! I-I’m fine, really.”

Then she glanced around again and nervously asked, “So... what are we filming this time?”

“Ghost hunting.”

Yu Wenlin answered briefly, “I heard someone died in this house. I specially hired an expert from outside.”

Upon hearing that, Yun Xialan spoke up, “Just ghost hunting? Will that even make good content?”

Yu Wenlin’s gaze flickered, and he smiled mysteriously.

“Don’t worry. The effect will be great.”

With that reassurance, the others eased up.

Then, remembering what the livestream viewers had asked earlier that day, Quan Han turned and asked, “And what about Bo Jingmo? Brother Yu, what’s your plan?”

Wei Yangbing quickly cut in with pride. “The expert Brother Yu brought in is amazing. He was the one who sealed Bo Jingmo before. That little ghost dares to show up? We’ll wipe him out in seconds.”

Yu Wenlin didn’t confirm or deny it, just replied coldly, “When the Taoist arrives, everyone has to cooperate. Got it?”

Right after he said that, Yun Xialan suddenly cried out.

“Brother Yu, there’s a car outside!”
