I, the Villain, Accidentally Killed the Protagosint!

Chapter 8 : I’m Their Sugar Daddy, So I Call the Shots

A favor like saving someone’s life was no small thing.

With Zhang Chen’s seemingly reasonable explanation…

Even if Director Wei didn’t want to believe it, he had no choice but to believe.

Moreover, as the others under his command gradually woke up…

Each one of them felt as if they had narrowly escaped death, their faces full of lingering fear and relief.

The Demon Slayer profession was a high-risk job.

You never knew what tomorrow would bring.

Dying on any given day was perfectly normal.

“Little Brother Zhang, I really have to thank you this time! And your girlfriend too! If it weren’t for you two…”

Director Wei’s face was full of emotion.

Including the subordinates under him—after learning the truth, they all expressed their gratitude one after another.

In fact, when these people first saw Xing Lingyun…

They had once doubted and felt nervous.

But after learning that Xing Lingyun was Zhang Chen’s girlfriend…

And that she had even killed that mysterious and unfathomable demon, saving all of their lives…

Only then did they let go of their suspicions.

“Brother Wei, you’re being too polite. We’re friends. How could I stand by and do nothing in a situation like this?”

Zhang Chen spoke very sincerely.

Xing Lingyun’s expression turned strange.

If she didn’t know the truth, she might have been fooled too.

Director Wei became even more emotional. “Being able to meet Little Brother Zhang is truly a blessing for me.”

“A great favor doesn’t require thanks. If there’s ever anything I can help you with in the future, just say the word!”

That’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for!

Zhang Chen smiled smugly in his heart.

On the surface, however, he responded politely.

“Brother Wei, now you’re treating me like an outsider!”

“No, no, no! Little Brother, you’ve misunderstood. From now on, if you need anything, just tell me directly!”

Director Wei patted his chest firmly.

In truth, he wasn’t the type to be easily moved.

Even when Zhang Chen previously donated thirty million yuan to the Jiangdong Division…

And provided various vehicles and equipment worth over ten million yuan…

Director Wei had only acted politely on the surface.

But now…

This was a life-saving favor!

And it wasn’t just saving one or two people—it was saving all of them.

If Zhang Chen’s girlfriend hadn’t acted, the entire Jiangdong Division of the Demon Slayer Bureau would’ve been wiped out this time!

Zhang Chen pretended to hesitate, then reluctantly nodded. “All right, since Brother Wei, you insist.”

“This time, we really embarrassed ourselves. If it weren’t for your girlfriend stepping in, I don’t even know how things would’ve ended.”

If word got out, it would be humiliating!

When Zhang Chen heard this, he immediately followed up, “Brother Wei, you’re being too modest. It’s just that the demon we faced earlier was too cunning and treacherous. Otherwise, with Brother Wei and your capable subordinates, you’d have handled it easily.”

“Yes, yes! We were careless!”

Director Wei laughed and replied. Zhang Chen giving him this way out made him feel very pleased.

The people under him also awkwardly smiled and thanked him.

Were they careless, or were they simply not strong enough?

How could they not know?

It was just something too embarrassing to admit.

Zhang Chen understood this perfectly.

“Brother Wei, for the next few days, just stay in the hospital and recover. No need to rush to be discharged. If you need anything, just let the hospital know—I’ve already made arrangements.”

After a round of polite conversation…

Director Wei and the others accepted his kindness.

Right now, they were full of gratitude and goodwill toward Zhang Chen.

And at this moment…

Zhang Chen finally seemed to casually mention his real purpose.

“Oh right, I wonder if Brother Wei could do me a small favor?”

Zhang Chen spoke as if it were difficult to ask.

Director Wei had been fretting about how to repay this favor—so when he heard this, how could he hesitate?

He immediately smiled and said, “Little Brother, if there’s anything you need, just say the word. As long as it’s within my power, I won’t say no.”

“Could Brother Wei help get my girlfriend an official position?”

Zhang Chen voiced his request.

Upon hearing this…

Director Wei was momentarily stunned.

A trace of purple demonic intent flashed across Xing Lingyun’s eyes.

What was this supposed to mean?

He wanted the Demon Slayer Bureau to give her, a demon, an official Demon Slayer title?

Wasn’t this just too gutsy?!

Only Zhang Chen smiled and said, “If it’s too troublesome for Brother Wei to arrange, just forget I mentioned it.”

He did it on purpose.

He had just done them such a huge favor.

Could Director Wei possibly refuse?

It was a life-saving favor, after all.

Even though it was all nonsense made up by Zhang Chen…

The key was—they believed it, didn’t they?

Sure enough, Director Wei snapped out of it after a moment.

He glanced at Xing Lingyun, who was standing silently behind Zhang Chen.

Then, after a moment’s thought, he asked, “Little Brother, what exactly do you mean?”

“I’d like to have her listed under your department, have an official identity. After all, you’re the true experts—it’d be good for my girlfriend to learn from you all.”

These words were typical humility.

Director Wei wasn’t stupid. How could he not understand Zhang Chen’s intentions?

He was just giving him face by putting it this way.

“Since you’ve asked, although this is a bit troublesome, it’s no big deal.”

In the end, Director Wei nodded in agreement.

Wasn’t it just giving someone an official identity?

The Demon Slayer Bureau was also a government department—just a special one.

Externally, it was considered an emergency response department, not unlike the police.

As the head of Jiangdong Division, arranging for one more person wasn’t difficult at all.

For an ordinary person, it might be inappropriate—after all, the bureau’s work wasn’t suitable for civilians.

But now, Director Wei knew that the person Zhang Chen wanted to arrange for was the very one who had saved them.

So there was no issue.

Zhang Chen achieved the result he wanted, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

“Then I’ll trouble Brother Wei.”

“It’s nothing!”

After finalizing this matter…

Zhang Chen casually revealed some information about the demon that had attacked Director Wei earlier.

Under his explanation…

Director Wei did not doubt at all.

He identified it as a strange-type demon with seductive abilities.

Its strength was roughly at the ‘Dangerous’ level, not yet reaching ‘Deadly’.

The reason for this judgment was simple.

If it had been a ‘Deadly’ level demon, there was basically no way they would’ve survived.

Even Director Wei himself wouldn’t stand a chance against a Deadly level demon.

Of course, this was him overestimating himself.

If he really encountered one, surviving would already be considered extremely lucky.

…

“Now do you believe me?”

Inside a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Zhang Chen wore a smile on his face.

The partition at the front had risen, and Uncle Liu, the butler, was driving—unable to hear anything from the back.

In the back seat, apart from Zhang Chen…

Xing Lingyun was quietly sitting beside him.

Hearing Zhang Chen boast, her expression became strange.

Ever since they left the hospital…

She had been sizing Zhang Chen up.

Just like how Zhang Chen had sized her up without restraint, Xing Lingyun was equally direct when she observed him.

Then she finally spoke: “You won’t be able to hide it for long.”

Zhang Chen didn’t deny it. He nodded and smiled. “That’s true, I won’t be able to hide it for long.”

“Then why do this?”

To arrange for a demon to have an official Demon Slayer identity…

This kind of outrageous move—no one would believe it if it spread.

However…

Zhang Chen had actually done it.

And he had succeeded.

Of course, there were many reasons for this.

On one hand, Director Wei had already accepted Zhang Chen’s benefits earlier.

Thirty million yuan in funds and vehicles and equipment worth over ten million yuan.

As the saying goes, “One’s hand is tied when taking favors; one’s mouth is soft after taking food.”

Now, he owed Zhang Chen a life-saving favor on top of that.

Naturally, things became easier.

The corners of Zhang Chen’s lips curled up. “Why not?”

Xing Lingyun was speechless.

She was now a demon—but she had once been human.

And because of her status, she had met all kinds of people.

But only Zhang Chen’s kind of self-confidence left her baffled.

“When they find out, even you’ll be in danger.”

Zhang Chen chuckled, then raised an eyebrow. “I’ll take that as you worrying about me?”

Then he smiled confidently.

Before Xing Lingyun could refute, he said, “As long as they don’t have evidence, suspicion is useless.”

This answer left Xing Lingyun speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true.

The people in the Demon Slayer Bureau weren’t fools.

At least in the Jiangdong Division, Director Wei was a shrewd man.

Zhang Chen’s identity wasn’t ordinary. He bore them no grudge—in fact, he had given them many benefits.

He had earned so many favors.

If you stood in Director Wei’s shoes, unless you had solid evidence, would you pick a fight with Zhang Chen?

Were you out of your mind?

Offending your sugar daddy?

You’d have to be an idiot!
