With My Ability To Swap, I Will Never End Up In A Love Triangle Mess - Chapter 98

“Does everyone remember what our target looks like?”

“Yes!”

“Good! Then the ‘Operation Punish the Rogue Author Chenxi’ team, move out!”

Wang Gang stood up from the dining table, raised a bottle of beer, gave it a little shake, and then chugged it all down, seemingly trying to boost morale.

“Gang哥, I just wanted to ask, how did you find out Chenxi’s real identity?”

Wang Gang looked around, then pulled the speaker closer, leaning in to whisper in his ear.

“You know that person in our group chat,  ‘Eiri is the Best’, right?”

“Yeah, I know them. They’re always active in the group chat.”

“Well, they deployed the ‘doxing weapon’! Remember when I posted our last meetup plan in the group? After that, ‘Eiri is the Best’ contacted me and gave me some info about the author.”

Wang Gang recalled the situation. He remembered feeling incredibly excited because the author lived in the same city as him, meaning he could potentially confront him in person anytime.

Originally, he wanted to stick to the plan: help make Author Chenxi famous and then wait for a book signing event. But who knew that darn author would just post new chapters every day without any other moves?

He’d asked editors he knew at the platform, and almost all of them said this big shot currently had no plans to publish physical books.

Left with no choice, he could only organize this second meetup and change the operation plan.

Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to publicly share Xia Xi’s personal information—that could land him in jail! So, he just described the general characteristics. If any of the brothers spotted someone who matched, they were to take a photo and report back to him.

“Wow, I always thought that group member talked pretty boldly. Turns out they had the doxing weapon. No wonder…”

“Alright, alright, just keep it to yourself. We’re upstanding citizens; we can’t spread this kind of stuff around. I only told you because I saw how much money you’ve spent supporting the old rogue, and I felt a bit sorry for you.”

Wang Gang recognized this guy; he was the one in the group called “Chenxi Doesn’t Know Squat About Dragon Raja”. He looked pretty young, like a college student.

Luo Xingchen, after learning Wang Gang’s source, left the private room.

He had come to this city by tailing his older sister.

There was just no helping it. His sister, who never usually went out, had been frequently booking flights back and forth between the two cities lately. It was impossible not to be curious.

Unfortunately, that head of security, Liang Longchen, had ridiculously strong counter-surveillance instincts, causing him to lose track of her the moment he got off the plane.

Honestly, he kind of regretted trying to tail her alone. Wouldn’t it have been better to bring a few good brothers and a private investigator?

Coincidentally, he found out about this small gathering through the QQ group. Unable to find his sister, he figured he’d join in on the fun. He never expected to accidentally overhear that someone had used the doxing weapon to sanction that author they all loved to hate.

He’d actually known the author’s information for a while; he’d even handled the material on Luo Xinyu’s end. Now he strongly suspected that his sister’s frequent trips here were because that darn author had tricked her—maybe scamming his naive sister out of money or something.

….

“Binjiang Road, Binjiang Road! Target spotted! Image.jpg”

The QQ group dinged with a new message notification.

“Great! Is the target with anyone else?”

Wang Gang replied quickly.

“Yes, there’s a young lady in a wheelchair and a little girl who looks like a middle schooler.”

During the dusk hour, Binjiang Road didn’t have many pedestrians, just a few scattered elderly people out for a stroll.

A young lady in a wheelchair? Wang Gang suddenly remembered there was also a beautiful woman in a wheelchair at their last gathering… Could it be that some group member had already made contact with the author?! If so, didn’t that mean all his planning in the group might have already been “sold out”?!

This won’t do. We have to move fast!

“Is your team equipped with the props?”

“We’ve been ready, elder brother Gang. What’s the plan? Just go over and… hehe… that guy?”

Wang Gang made a snap decision.

“Just go up and ask him what color sack he prefers, then bring him to the designated spot!”

“Ok, ok!”

Walking along Binjiang Road, Xia Xi (in his sister’s body), wearing a cute pink dress, felt the cool breeze from the river and couldn’t shake the feeling of having zero sense of security below.

He looked down and suddenly saw a person wearing sunglasses and a mask walk past him, heading straight for Xia Yue (in his body).

“Hey buddy, what color sack do you prefer?”

Because of the mask, the person’s voice sounded a bit muffled.

Xia Yue (as Xia Xi) was stunned for a second, then blurted out, “Pink.”

The next moment, several other big guys, also wearing masks and sunglasses, came running from a distance. A coarse pink burlap sack instantly “ate” Xia Yue.

“Hehe, never would’ve guessed you’re such a closet freak, liking pink and all.”

The group lifted Xia Yue up and ran off.

Luo Xinyu and Xia Xi hadn’t even processed what happened before—poof!—such a big person was just gone!

“elder brother Chen! This…”

The bodyguard had been following not far behind and had naturally witnessed everything.

In fact, their entire security team had already noticed this group of suspicious characters.

They’d even caught one and found out their objective.

Of course, precisely because they knew the objective and had already sent people to check the so-called designated spot, they allowed the group to take that annoying brat away.

“Don’t worry, Miss. Second Brother and Third Brother are monitoring the situation. That gentleman will be fine.”

Xia Xi was very worried about his sister’s safety, but seeing the bodyguard’s utterly confident and reassuring expression immediately calmed him down.

Are you kidding? He’d seen their almost detective-like skills firsthand. With these professional bodyguards around, it was hard to imagine anything bad happening to Xia Yue.

Plus, it was obvious they’d known about these people from the start. Since they didn’t intervene beforehand, it must mean the group meant no harm.

Maybe… those people were just playing a little joke on “Xia Xi”~

….

“Who are you people! Let me go! How dare you kidnap a civilian in broad daylight!”

Xia Yue struggled wildly inside the sack.

“Darn it! Can’t you carry me more steadily? You’re shaking me so much I’m about to throw up the dinner I just ate!”

Who knows if this girl was just incredibly thick-skinned or what, but even after being “kidnapped,” she still had the mind to say something so laughable.

Thud!

Inside a certain small, dark room, Xia Yue was unceremoniously dumped onto a soft-padded floor. The door was locked, the lights flipped on, and a dozen big guys stared with intense eyes at the rogue author Chenxi, who was wriggling out of the sack butt-first…

“Ha… haha… Hello, brothers…”

Xia Yue had never seen a situation like this before and was immediately scared pale.

“Hmph, save the pleasantries. You’re Chenxi, right?”

Chenxi? Wasn’t that her brother’s pen name?

So this group was actually after her older brother! She was just suffering in his place because of this stupid body swap!

“Ahem… What if I said I’m actually not Chenxi, would you believe me?…”
