Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 145
Chapter 145
Yao Xinrui’s tone was icy.
Having witnessed Xu Hao’s terrifying power and the kindness he had shown her, she had submitted to him wholeheartedly.
This man was Xu Hao’s enemy.
Of course, she wouldn’t give him a pleasant look.
Zheng Feifan was stunned.
He had thought this stunning mature woman was rational enough that, after learning the truth about Xu Hao, she would react differently from the beautiful landlady.
And indeed, the result was different.
The beautiful landlady, Xiao Wanling, hadn’t believed his words.
But this alluring young wife knew full well about Xu Hao’s womanizing and his schemes against the Chu family—yet she remained unshakably devoted.
“You’re not an employee of my company. What are you doing here? Trying to steal confidential information?”
“Get out before I call the police…”
Yao Xinrui glanced at her watch.
She still had work to do and didn’t want to waste time here.
Zheng Feifan was deeply shaken.
In a daze, he stumbled out.
Xu Hao also left.
He ordered Bai Ling to send one of their loyalists to protect Yao Xinrui.
On the way home—
Xu Hao received news from his company.
The stock trading tips extracted from Li Xiao’s mouth had been verified.
The professionals were in awe.
For example, a seemingly stagnant company would later see its stock price skyrocket due to a breakthrough technology, something impossible to predict without insider knowledge.
Only through meticulous analysis and investigation could such details be uncovered.
Xu Hao rubbed his chin.
Since these tips were all accurate, he could make some moves.
With so many investment opportunities, even if he had to limit each trade to avoid affecting market trends, he could still make billions effortlessly.
Extracting this kind of value from the protagonist was already a huge win.
But when he received the intel on real industry projects from Li Xiao, his joy grew even greater.
This was a venture worth hundreds of billions—one that could flourish in a short time.
He had struck gold.
To express his gratitude for Li Xiao’s information, Xu Hao decided to personally send him off.
Inside a dimly lit secret room—
Li Xiao was tied to a chair.
A dagger was embedded in each of his shoulders.
Several of his fingers had been severed.
Only rudimentary methods had been used to stop the bleeding.
The sight was gruesome.
Even with a martial artist’s enhanced physique and vitality, Li Xiao was on the verge of death.
He had been tortured here for an entire day and night.
It was hard to imagine what he had endured.
At this moment, Li Xiao’s face was deathly pale, his expression haggard.
Occasional twitches shook his body—a reflexive reaction to unbearable pain.
Over the past day and night—
He had confessed everything, whether he wanted to or not.
Including the truth about his transmigration.
Li Xiao hadn’t wanted to reveal it.
But he had no choice.
These people were too skilled at torture.
It was as if they knew about his foresight.
They wouldn’t stop until they had answers.
After losing several fingers, he broke.
“Master…”
Bai Ling led Xu Hao into the room.
The stench of blood made him frown.
The loyalists in the room dropped to one knee in reverence, their eyes burning with fanaticism.
The barely conscious Li Xiao mustered the last of his strength.
He was so weak he could barely move a finger.
Yet he strained to lift his head, desperate to see his tormentor the moment his blindfold was removed.
Li Xiao had finally pieced it together.
Someone was deliberately targeting him.
Otherwise, even if he had made five million from stocks, it wouldn’t have drawn attention in the vast market.
Unless someone was specifically investigating him.
So…
Who was behind this? Who had captured and tortured him?
Was it the protagonist, Zheng Feifan?
Or Xu Hao, who had taken his sister?
Or perhaps his sworn brother, Chu Xiong?
The next moment, he no longer needed to guess.
The voice gave it away.
“Rise.”
Xu Hao spoke indifferently.
He had used only loyalists—not trusted subordinates like Lao Mo—to capture and interrogate Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was a transmigrator.
Such a revelation would shock the world.
But these loyalists were different.
Even if they knew, they would never speak without his order.
“Xu… Hao…”
Li Xiao’s voice was weak, but the hatred in his tone was unmistakable.
He cursed inwardly.
He should have realized sooner.
Chu Xiong trusted him completely.
The protagonist’s mercenary group had been wiped out.
The only one with enough elite subordinates was Xu Hao.
“Xiao Xiao, long time no see.”
Xu Hao remained unmoved by Li Xiao’s pitiful state.
Truthfully, he hadn’t even wanted to come.
But to prevent any last-minute protagonist plot armor shenanigans—like an unexpected rescue or escape—he had decided to oversee things personally.
Xu Hao didn’t want the protagonist slipping away, only to return for revenge later.
He wouldn’t rest until Li Xiao took his last breath.
A glance at Li Xiao’s head revealed that after a day and night of torment, his already fractured aura of destiny had dimmed to near nothingness.
It flickered weakly, as if on the verge of vanishing.
[Ding… Li Xiao is furious. Emotional value +888…]
“Cough… cough…”
Li Xiao, enraged, spat blood.
Damn it!
Look at what state he was in!
And Xu Hao had the nerve to say “long time no see”?
Go to hell!
“Why… why are you doing this to me?”
Weakly, Li Xiao voiced the question that had haunted him.
He and Xu Hao had no grudges.
If anything, it was Xu Hao who had blackmailed his sister-in-law, forced him to cover it up, and deceived his sister and family.
Not only had Xu Hao targeted him relentlessly, but he had also captured and tortured him—brutally.
“What a strange question.”
Xu Hao chuckled.
“You disliked me, talked behind my back—isn’t that reason enough?”
Li Xiao was speechless.
Gradually, his faint breathing grew heavier.
Clearly, he was seething.
You blackmailed my sister-in-law, tricked my sister, and now you’re killing me just because I badmouthed you?
How tyrannical can you get?
“Of course,” Xu Hao added casually, “those are just trivial reasons. The main one is… you’re the protagonist.”
What?
Li Xiao was baffled.
Wasn’t Zheng Feifan the protagonist?
Then it hit him.
How did Xu Hao know the term “protagonist”?
Only he, as a transmigrator, would casually use such terms.
Could it be… Xu Hao was also a transmigrator?
Right, the first time the plot had deviated was when Xu Hao appeared.
But why wasn’t Xu Hao mentioned in the novel he had read?
Xu Hao called him the protagonist, yet he had transmigrated into the book and gained a golden finger (cheat ability).
He was a protagonist—but a minor antagonist’s lackey.
“You… you’re a transmigrator too?”
[Ding… Li Xiao is shaken. Emotional value +777…]
Seeing Li Xiao’s光环 (aura) grow even dimmer, Xu Hao’s smile widened.
The only reason he had indulged in this conversation was to milk every last bit of value from the protagonist.
Otherwise, why waste words on a dead man?
“Wrong answer.”
Xu Hao shook his head.
He had transmigrated into this world—but as a child, with memories awakening later.
He wasn’t a pure transmigrator.
But Li Xiao, convinced he had guessed right, let out a bitter laugh.
He had seen Zheng Feifan as his prey.
Little did he know, he was the prey all along.
“Enough talk. I still need to visit your sister. Time to send you on your way.”
“Oh, and don’t walk too fast on the Yellow Spring Road. Your sworn brother and his son will join you soon.”
“At least you won’t be lonely…”
Li Xiao shuddered.
Terror filled his face.
“Y-you’re going to kill me? You can’t… murder is illegal!”
“Tch. You’re a transmigrator—don’t tell me you’re this naive?”
Li Xiao fell silent.
Of course he knew the law only bound ordinary people.
To those with power and wealth, it meant nothing.
On the contrary, they became his shield.
With Xu Hao’s cunning, even if he wanted to kill someone, he wouldn’t leave any evidence.
Without evidence, there could be no conviction—no arrest.
At first, he had even considered killing Xu Hao.
But after witnessing Xu Hao’s hidden strength, that thought vanished.
With Xu Hao present and so many experts around, death was the only outcome.
He assessed his own weakened state.
In this pitiful condition, death might be a relief.
After all, he was living on borrowed time.
But the resentment burned inside him.
If he died, his parents and his sister would remain under Xu Hao’s deception.
Especially his sister, Li Yunshu.
Even after being used and discarded, she still defended Xu Hao.
Wait…
Xu Hao had just mentioned killing him.
Panic had clouded his mind earlier, but now he recalled Xu Hao’s words.
What did he mean?
The Chu father and son would join him in death?
Was Xu Hao planning to kill them too?
Li Xiao asked uncertainly,
“You don’t know about the Chu family’s situation, do you? Chu Xiong was arrested for multiple crimes. Before going down, he asked me to take care of his wife and son.”
Xu Hao’s tone was indifferent.
“So I placed your sister-in-law as the CEO of Chu Corporation. Once the Chu father and son die, all their shares will fall into her hands…”
A chill ran through Li Xiao’s body.
He understood Xu Hao’s plan now—to seize all of the Chu family’s assets.
On the surface, his sister-in-law would control the Chu family.
But in reality, she had already submitted to Xu Hao.
Everything would belong to him.
How ruthless.
Not only did he take a man’s wife and steal his fortune—he sent him straight to hell.
A deep fear rose in Li Xiao’s heart.
[Ding… Li Xiao feels terror. Emotional value +1000…]
Xu Hao saw the halo of destiny above Li Xiao’s head shatter completely.
No need for further words.
“Since I’ve told you so much before your death, you can rest in peace.”
“Go quietly. I’ll take good care of your sister and your sister-in-law…”
He waved his hand.
Before Li Xiao could react, a death warrior drove a blade through his heart.
Li Xiao convulsed twice, then went still.
To be thorough, Xu Hao examined his chest.
His piercing gaze activated his X-ray vision.
The blade had indeed pierced his heart.
No unusual case of dextrocardia—no chance of survival.
Certain of his death, Xu Hao turned and walked out of the chamber, leaving a final order.
“Clean this up.”
Leaving the chamber, Xu Hao headed to Xia Qingge’s rented apartment.
With the protagonist dealt with, it was time to savor the spoils of victory.
His prize? His sister, Li Yunshu.
At that moment, Xia Qingge and Li Yunshu were still awake, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
“Qingge, why do you keep checking the time?”
Li Yunshu noticed her friend’s habit and frowned.
“Just seeing when we should sleep. I have to wake up early—work’s been busy lately.”
Xia Qingge brushed it off casually.
Of course, she wasn’t waiting for work.
She was waiting for Xu Hao.
After much deliberation, she and Xu Hao had devised a plan to pull Li Yunshu into their secret.
The plan?
Xu Hao would be with Li Yunshu when Xia Qingge “accidentally” walked in on them.
Li Yunshu knew Xia Qingge liked Xu Hao and had sternly warned her to stay away.
Yet here she was, entangled with him.
Overcome with guilt, she would agree to share him.
No more sneaking around.
They could even play cards together—openly.
Knock knock…
A sudden sound at the door made Li Yunshu tense.
“Who is it?”
Xia Qingge knew it was likely Xu Hao.
“I’ll check.”
“Be careful, Qingge. Don’t open it for strangers.”
“Got it…”
Xia Qingge hummed in reply.
She padded to the door in her slippers, peeked through the peephole for show, then quickly opened it.
“Uncle Xu!”
Her voice was full of delight.
Li Yunshu blinked in surprise as her friend led Xu Hao inside.
Why was Uncle Xu here so late?
“I forgot about some company matters earlier and came to handle them. Since I heard you two lived nearby, I thought I’d drop by. Hope I’m not interrupting?”
Both girls shook their heads.
“Not at all! Uncle Xu, sit here.”
Xia Qingge guided him to the middle of the sofa—sandwiched between her and Li Yunshu.
“Uncle Xu, what business did you have at the company?”
She played the curious innocent.
“Just some investment updates…”
Xu Hao casually draped his arms over the back of the sofa, his hands resting near each girl.
Li Yunshu stiffened.
She shot a nervous glance at her friend, but Xia Qingge seemed engrossed in conversation.
Relieved, she tried to push Xu Hao’s hand away.
Though they’d been intimate many times, having him this close with her friend nearby was too risky.
If Xia Qingge found out, she’d never hear the end of it.
This absolutely cannot be discovered!
But her strength was no match for Xu Hao’s.
Defeated, she could only try to block his hand from view.
Xia Qingge, meanwhile, acted completely natural, chatting away as if nothing was amiss.
With Xu Hao there, neither girl could focus on the TV.
After a while, Xu Hao checked the time.
“It’s getting late. I should head back. You two should rest soon too.”
Xia Qingge quickly protested.
“It’s too late to go back now, Uncle Xu. Just stay here for the night! We have a spare room.”
“Well…”
Xu Hao feigned hesitation.
“Would that be appropriate?”
“Of course it is! You’re practically family. Right, Yunshu?”
Li Yunshu would’ve preferred Xu Hao leave—she could make it up to him privately tomorrow.
But with her friend insisting, refusing would seem strange.
She nodded reluctantly.
“Yes, Uncle Xu. It’s safer to stay here tonight.”
“Alright then…”
Xu Hao agreed after a show of reluctance.
While getting ready for bed, Xu Hao subtly signaled Li Yunshu to leave her door unlocked.
Her heart raced.
She knew what he intended.
Torn, her submissive nature won out—she left the door unlatched.
Xu Hao slipped inside.
Just as passion ignited, the door burst open—Xia Qingge stood in the doorway.
