Every Day the Villain Continues to Fail
[Quick Transmigration]

As a law-abiding citizen, Ruan Yao was visiting the police station for the first time.
Qi Ren was forced to act as his 'pillow' all the way, yet he didn’t appear to be suffering from sore muscles.
Instead, he simply adjusted his wrinkled coat with a good-natured smile, raising his hand to block the car door and politely ask Ruan Yao to get out of the car.
His physical stamina is impressive, Ruan Yao muttered quietly to the system.
Yu Chuan stood by the office window, looking down from his elevated position at the movements in the parking lot.
A foot clad in red-bottomed high heels slowly stepped out of the car door, followed by the soft skirt of the beauty.
Today, Ruan Yao wore a black velvet ankle-length dress, its hem adorned with delicate lace, cinched tightly at the waist, emphasizing a subtly rounded chest.
Her black hair was simply pinned back, with a few longer strands left loose by his ears.
In the solemn and cold environment, suddenly, a delicate and graceful flower bloomed, contrasting sharply with the rigid gray background, its beauty almost oppressive.
Yu Chuan held an unlit cigarette between his fingers, silently watching the woman as she walked into the reception building, accompanied by her secretary and driver.
He leisurely ran his tongue over his back molars.
Ruan Yao had been in a bit of a daze before leaving the house, confused by the system’s constant meddling. The system had selected a particularly form-fitting dress for him, the waist cinched so tightly that it was hard to even breathe, let alone think about makeup.
Both of the clueless men had fumbled around for a while before finally asking the cleaning maid for help.
The new maid, naturally, had heard rumors about the terrifying lady of the house. When Ruan Yao called her over, she immediately looked terrified, tears welling up in her eyes.
The girl trembled, holding onto the broom as she quietly said "Please, ma’am, I really need this job"
Ruan Yao facepalmed.
The character setup was overly domineering.
"I just need a little help" Ruan Yao said casually, his eyes narrowing with a gentle smile, "My hand is injured, and I can’t do my makeup"
At the time, he was only wearing a bathrobe, his loose hair lazily draped across his chest, exuding a calm, moonlit aura.
The lady didn't seem as terrifying as the rumors suggested. She seemed like... a very easy person to get along with. The girl froze for a moment, then a lively smile appeared on her face, her cute freckles adding to the charm: "Okay... okay!"
Gu Rongzhang had been murdered just a month ago. As the 'deeply loving' wife of the deceased, Ruan Yao naturally had to attend every event dressed in black, with a sorrowful, haggard expression.
But whether it was the blood-red soles of his shoes or the soft, creamy skin at her collar, they accidentally revealed a burning, irresistible allure.
"Why bother with makeup if you're pretending to be miserable?" Ruan Yao said, his exquisite face struggling to resist licking his mirror-like lip gloss.
The system, ever dutiful, explained "Because you’re an idiot who can’t hide the fact that you’re trying to quickly hook up with some other wild man"
To comfort the soulless host, the system added, "Every cannon fodder character is like that, Host, don’t feel bad"
The rhythmic "clack, clack" of high heels echoed across the marble floor, and even from a distance, one could sense the approach of the person.
This time, Ruan Yao used the opportunity of explaining things about Gu Jin to Yu Chuan, and also to fulfill his mission of visiting Gu Jin in prison.
Qi Ren, being Gu Rongming’s confidant, made Ruan Yao worry that he might inform Gu Rongming, so he decided to send him away.
"You and Old Chen wait for me outside" Ruan Yao promptly stopped Qi Ren from following him.
The secretary paused, his brow hidden beneath his bangs, but he gave a small bow and said softly, "Understood"
Yu Chuan, sitting leisurely in his spacious office, greeted Ruan Yao with a smile that could only be described as gentle: "Madam has arrived, please have a seat"
"I wasn’t sure what Madam likes, so I brewed a pot of Maojian tea" Yu Chuan said as he poured the perfectly warm tea into the empty cup in front of Ruan Yao.
Ruan Yao didn’t know much about tea and could only sip at the slightly bitter flavor.
The beauty’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, revealing eyes glistening with water-like light, her expression slightly anxious: "I came here today to say that Gu Jin was framed"
Yu Chuan’s smile froze for a moment, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. "Oh? The bloodstains at the scene match perfectly with Gu Jin’s DNA. Are you suggesting there’s another person in the world who looks exactly like him?"
As expected of a police officer, he’s really sharp.
Ruan Yao couldn’t help himself, biting his glossy lip as the intense fragrance lingered: "I... a few days ago, I was attacked by the murderer. He had the exact same face as Gu Jin, and his arm was covered in blood"
He hurriedly glanced at Yu Chuan: "Didn’t you say you found Gu Jin’s blood at the scene? But there were no wounds on Gu Jin."
However, Yu Chuan’s thoughts were clearly not focused on this matter.
He lowered his gaze, intently watching the small area of his lip that had lost some color.
When they first met at the Gu family, Ruan Yao had appeared bare-faced, like a timid little animal, always wanting to receive equal affection from everyone, but not realizing that this submissive demeanor only stirred up the darker destructive tendencies within people.
Today, she had carefully done his makeup, and the result was a beauty with a sharp, icy edge.
Clearly, she was like a high-mountain flower, yet his personality was so soft.
"And how did the murderer attack you?" Yu Chuan’s voice was particularly hoarse, carrying an almost seductive tone in the empty room.
Ruan Yao’s face began to burn.
How should he explain it? The murderer was a pervert. Like a dog, he tied him to the bed and both licked and bit him. Just thinking about it made the sensitive spots on his chest ache.
He suspected that the pervert was deprived of maternal love.
Ruan Yao picked and chose, finding less embarrassing details to share: "He threatened me in the study. After I ran away, he broke into my room. He had the key to my room"
He had been really frightened at the time, and still felt traumatized when he thought about it.
He didn’t know when Yu Chuan had already approached him, the tall man casting a heavy shadow from above: "So after breaking into your room, what did he do?"
Ruan Yao stammered, avoiding eye contact and trying to gloss over it: "He just tied me up..."
Yu Chuan had high cheekbones and deep-set eyes. His gaze, intense and unyielding, was almost impossible to resist. Yet his tone was gentle, soothing or perhaps deceiving Ruan Yao’s flustered, uneasy heart.
"After tying you up, Madam, please be more specific. You know where this is, right?" Yu Chuan smiled as he leaned closer to Ruan Yao’s face.
One of his fingers gently twirled a strand of Ruan Yao’s loose black hair. The smooth, silky hair wrapped around his finger and quickly unraveled again.
"Lie to me, and you’ll be caught, you know"
Ruan Yao tightly gripped the hem of his skirt, avoiding Yu Chuan’s gaze. His overly aggressive stare made him very uncomfortable: "I’m not lying"
Yu Chuan slowly spoke near Ruan Yao's ear, "Madam, have you seen the scene of an interrogation? Locked in a room with cameras, the suspect chained to a chair, unable to sleep or even close their eyes, for days on end"
"Over and over, people come in to ask questions, until your mind breaks"
Ruan Yao's pupils slightly widened, a sense of unease appearing on his face.
Even though he hadn't done anything wrong, Yu Chuan’s words were brainwashing him into subconsciously feeling guilty.
His voice was trembling as he spoke, his eyes reddened, feeling wronged: "I didn’t lie." He repeated it once more.
Yu Chuan, ever considerate, placed a hand on Ruan Yao’s slender shoulder. "Of course I know you wouldn’t do such a thing. Then, Madam, please tell me in detail. Where did he tie you up?"
"On the bed... on the bed" Ruan Yao's eyelashes trembled. He couldn’t bear it anymore, but in order to get the chance to visit Gu Jin in detention, he had to continue playing along with Yu Chuan.
Once it was over, he was determined to give him a taste of his own medicine. The little figure in his mind’s sea of consciousness crossed its arms in anger.
"On the bed... what did he do?" The man’s voice, rich and smooth like red wine, resonated near Ruan Yao's ear, his breath coloring the small, delicate earlobe.
"He... he bit me" Ruan Yao’s skirt was wrinkled from being clenched tightly.
"Just bit you? Was there anything else?"
The man sighed, seemingly helpless. "Madam, please forgive me, but we must clarify every detail to determine if you are telling the truth. After all, no one has ever heard of the Gu family having twins."
Ruan Yao found it increasingly difficult to speak, his face turning a blush similar to peach blossoms, the color spreading even to his slender neck, leaving him breathless.
"He... he licked... and bit my flesh. It hurt"
Repeating the scene of being assaulted by the pervert was so humiliating, Ruan Yao’s tears began to fall.
He dared not cry in front of Yu Chuan, though his eyes brimmed with tears, his lower lashes dampened, making him look even more innocent and pitiful like a small deer.
But the hunter had no intention of letting him go.
"He bit you where?" Yu Chuan’s rough palms, calloused from years of gripping wooden stocks, brushed across Ruan Yao’s delicate neck, causing goosebumps to rise.
Ruan Yao’s long fingers turned white from clutching too hard, his lips almost bitten to the point of being torn, like holding a luxurious flower. "He bit my chest... my chest"
Yu Chuan’s gaze fell on the slight rise there.
So flat.
Still, his expression remained serious as he extended a finger, gently brushing across Ruan Yao’s eyelashes, collecting the shiny wetness.
If this continued, she might really start crying.
Though he was eager to see Ruan Yao shattered and crying, it wasn’t the right time yet.
"Don’t be afraid, Madam. It’s okay. I won’t tell anyone" Yu Chuan’s hand slipped from Ruan Yao’s shoulder, softly wiping away the tears with a handkerchief.
"Gu Jin is still in detention. If you’d like, you can go see him now"
He was just too good at flirting, and everyone would fall into the intoxicating depth of his gaze.
Ruan Yao, feeling uncomfortable, rubbed his eyes. "System, have we completed our task?"
System: "You must visit the detention center to complete it"
Ruan Yao, still shaken, replied, "I was really scared he might grab me"
The system screen suddenly displayed a terrified expression: "Wait, Host, your eyes!"
Ruan Yao hurriedly asked, "What... what’s wrong?"
"The makeup is smudged!!!"
