Ch 27 (Part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

They were both deeply poisoned by Yan Tong, to the point that even when presented with evidence, they didn’t believe the speculations online. They couldn’t help but think that it might be orchestrated by Fang Ziyang himself. After all, Fang Ziyang really disliked Yan Tong.

Thinking this way, they found a reason on their own and, in order to prevent their loved ones from feeling upset, they consciously used their connections to control any unfavorable comments about Yan Tong, making an effort to suppress all negative remarks.

The result was unexpected for the two of them—they ended up shooting themselves in the foot!

While controlling comments was something commonly done on the internet, it had its prerequisites. When the intensity of an event reached a certain point, suppression would cause a backlash, and it would be an even more intense one.

In the book, Fang Qianhao and Xie Wenxu’s abilities were actually quite strong.

But they were still young and inexperienced at this age. Despite their exposure to the company and group affairs through family grooming, they were still in school, lacking the experience and other aspects that would be sufficient in the real world.

After all, there weren’t many monsters like Xie Zheng that couldn’t be judged by common sense.

Therefore, Fang Qianhao and Xie Wenxu’s less meticulous public relations efforts led to a surge in speculations about Yan Tong from netizens.

Suppressing negative comments that had just appeared meant one thing—there was something fishy going on!

As the legitimate young master of the Fang family, Fang Ziyang didn’t receive any control when he was in trouble. But now, even a regular student like Yan Tong had someone using their background power to help him. It was impossible not to think further, especially with the genuine dislike Fang Ziyang had for Yan Tong.

Looking at Yan Tong’s innocent appearance and the things Xu Jiaqing, the crazed pursuer, had done, what else could people think of?

Lack of evidence didn’t matter; the internet was a place where rumors spread easily.

Moreover, Yan Tong hadn’t reached a point where everyone loved him. There were many who liked him, but there were also many who disliked him, such as some girls and boys in the same school who were jealous of his radiance.

The world was never short of people who threw stones in a well.

It was the case for Fang Ziyang back then.

And now, it was the same for Yan Tong.

Seeing the negative tide of speculation and discussion on the internet, Fang Ziyang almost died laughing.

He couldn’t believe he hadn’t realized how foolish Fang Qianhao and Xie Wenxu were. It seemed that intelligence reached negative levels when people fell in love. Or was it that love made them lose their focus?

He truly admired Yan Tong’s ability to manipulate men.

Fang Ziyang sat at home, laughing heartily while holding his computer.

Meanwhile, Yan Tong, who was at the center of the storm, couldn’t find any reason to laugh. He felt like he was going crazy at home.

He never expected the situation to turn out like this!

How did it come to this? How did it end up like this?

Everything was going so well. Wasn’t Fang Ziyang on the verge of collapse? How did all the circumstances suddenly reverse overnight? Not only that, but it also dragged him down!

If he hadn’t been vigilant enough, speaking half-truths to Xu Jiaqing from beginning to end, letting him believe that the whole incident was his own idea and design, he hadn’t interfered at all.

It seems that with Fang Ziyang’s thunderous methods this time, Yan Tong is going to be completely ruined…

Being speculated and discussed on the internet is already the best outcome for now.

“Fang Qianhao and Xie Wenxu, these two idiots, aren’t they usually smart? They’ve only made things worse.”

Thinking about how these two made things worse, Yan Tong felt even more frustrated.

In the book, both Fang Qianhao and Xie Wenxu were quite impressive, especially Xie Wenxu. He did many remarkable things for Fang Ziyang. How did their intelligence hit rock bottom now that they were with Yan Tong?

Could it be that Fang Ziyang’s protagonist halo was truly powerful enough to turn them into carefree idlers who could unleash their potential?

Although he didn’t want to believe it, that seemed to be the only reason…

In the book, Fang Ziyang’s abilities were truly undeniable. Even without any cheat-like abilities, his achievements were impressive.

Thinking of these things…

Yan Tong felt unwilling and a bit panicked.

Fang Ziyang wasn’t the kind of protagonist who would give up after a setback. He possessed all the traits of a protagonist, and that included not showing mercy to his enemies. Judging from Fang Ziyang’s attitude, it seemed like he already held a grudge against him and would eventually destroy him.

No, he couldn’t just wait for his doom.

He had to quickly get Fang Ziyang’s golden finger, or else once Fang Ziyang grew up, he would be completely hopeless.

…If that were the case, what was the point of him crossing over to this world?

Feeling heavy-hearted, Yan Tong hastily grabbed a bottle of water and took deep breaths, trying to calm his panicked emotions.

Just then…

His phone on the table suddenly rang, indicating a new notification from the browser’s news.

Yan Tong hesitated for a moment, then seemed to realize something. His previously heavy and frantic expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by excitement and eagerness as he quickly opened the webpage to check.

On the mobile webpage, it displayed:

“…According to the latest reporter’s report, on April 29th, Flight HC1325 of XX Airlines, flying to Los Angeles in M Country, encountered rare and severe thunderstorm weather during the flight and unfortunately malfunctioned due to a lightning strike, resulting in the plane crashing into the Pacific Ocean…”

It was a heartbreaking plane crash incident.

However, Yan Tong burst into laughter as if he had expected it all along.

“Hahaha, great, great! This plane crash is just perfect. Finally, there’s some good news. Hahaha.”

…

At the same time.

People from all over also saw the news about the crash of Flight HC1325.

Although science shows that airplanes are actually the safest mode of transportation, safety doesn’t mean accidents won’t happen. Once an airplane accident occurs, it is a catastrophic blow.

In each aviation accident, the number of passengers and flight crew who survive is chillingly low.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

Most of the time, it’s zero.

Major TV channels immediately started reporting, and various browser notifications flooded in one after another. With such widespread dissemination, even those who didn’t care about the news would soon find out.

And for people like Xie Zheng and Rick, who had to follow the news every day because of company matters, they saw the news as soon as it came out.

The moment Xie Zheng saw the news…

He turned pale, and his body trembled due to the aftershock. “Xie, this… Is this Flight HC1325 that was flying to Los Angeles in M Country on April 29th? The itinerary I arranged for Tang? “

Just a few days ago, he had been persuading Tang to return to M Country, and he even booked the plane ticket for him.

And the plane he booked happened to be the one that just crashed.

Oh, God, he couldn’t even imagine the consequences if Tang hadn’t stayed because of Fang Ziyang’s situation and had taken the plane according to the normal schedule…

“Xie, did I almost kill Tang?”

Rick held his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed. A tall man of 1.9 meters almost cried.

He couldn’t fathom what he would become if Tang died.

Tang was the most important person in his life.

Xie Zheng watched the news on TV and broke out in a cold sweat.

But fortunately, they were lucky. They missed it. Tang Xun didn’t board that flight.

…

Fang Ziyang also saw the news of the crash of Flight HC1325.

His previously cheerful mood suddenly turned heavy.

There were so many things happening since his rebirth that he had forgotten about this major news.

During this time in his previous life, he was still immersed in the aftermath of the trending video, staying at home and not daring to go out due to the widespread criticism on the internet.

But the news of the HC1325 crash was too shocking, instantly overshadowing the attention on his situation. Even though he was mentally hazy at the time, he still learned a bit about it.

However, on the day the news came out, he suddenly experienced an unexplained severe cardiac episode, causing him to be unconscious in the hospital for a day and night before waking up.

After that, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

If he had remembered earlier, maybe he could have done something to prevent it.

He remembered… that there were no survivors in this plane crash.

Fang Ziyang felt a bit uncomfortable. Although his heart was filled with hatred for the people who had harmed him, he knew that this world wasn’t entirely filled with bad people or darkness. There was always light and warmth to aspire to.

For Yan Tong, this was a fictional world of paper characters.

But for him, everything here was real and alive.

He couldn’t blame himself for not preventing this plane crash, but he still felt a bit uneasy.

After all, he might have had the chance to save them. He had been given the opportunity to be reborn, and fate had given him many advantages.

Although revenge was important, he realized that his vision could be broader…

Staring at the news on his phone, he remained silent for a long time.

Fang Ziyang dialed Uncle Liu’s number. “Uncle Liu, after selling the batch of antique jades, keep the original value of 2.3 billion and convert the remaining compensation money into goods to be donated to impoverished mountainous areas and schools.”
