After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 242: She’s the Traitor!

Yu Jiao saw her enter and motioned toward an empty seat at the edge. “Mu Chengsi, sit there.”

Following the direction, Mu Chengsi’s steps came to a halt.

She saw Rong Fan, Jiang Xi, and even… Chen Zhixia sitting in that row.

They actually brought in Chen Zhixia too?

Mu Chengsi quickly regained composure, walked over naturally, and sat down next to Jiang Xi.

Her eyes landed on the three men across from her.

Very familiar.

All of them felt very familiar.

The leaders of peace, X, and ice—were all here.

What the h*ll was going on?

Thinking about this seating arrangement, Mu Chengsi’s expression tensed.

Don’t tell me… they’re planning to question each person from the last instance?

Could it be… the stuff between Bo Jingmo and the NPCs really did draw their attention?

But didn’t Yu Li already change her face?

Just as she was lost in thought, Yu Jiao’s voice rang in her ear.

“Since everyone’s here, let’s begin. None of us here are outsiders, so we won’t bother hiding it. The reason we’ve gathered you all is to ask about something.”

As she finished speaking, the electronic whiteboard in front of them suddenly lit up.

When Mu Chengsi saw who was on the screen, her eyelid twitched hard.

“……”

What the hell?

Wasn’t that Yu Li?

More precisely, the woman on screen was Yu Li after her face change.

But where did this footage come from? Didn’t the system forbid both viewing and recording?

Mu Chengsi’s mind was full of confusion, but clearly, she wasn’t the only one caught off guard.

Chen Zhixia pointed at the screen in shock. “Where did you get this?”

Yu Jiao answered with a calm smile. “Naturally, it’s part of the high-level player permissions.”

Her voice remained composed and intellectual.

“First, congratulations to Mu Chengsi for winning the instance. As for the rest of you, someone must be wondering why they were revived.”

Yu Jiao worded it delicately, but in truth, Chen Zhixia was the only one here who’d been resurrected under unclear circumstances.

Looking at the powerful men sitting across from him, Chen Zhixia’s gaze shifted evasively, filled with unease.

He had no idea what was going on. First he was revived in the game, and then, a few days after waking up, a group suddenly came looking for him with one opening line:

“Your resurrection was our doing. Now we have a few things to ask you.”

These people didn’t look easy to mess with. Chen Zhixia had no choice but to obediently follow along.

His hands rubbed nervously beneath the table. “What do you want to ask? Don’t you already have the footage?”

Yu Jiao explained patiently, “But the recordings don’t show everything. We need you to watch all the footage, then tell us what’s missing—what wasn’t caught on camera.”

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to the image on the screen. “Especially… concerning this woman.”

Mu Chengsi’s heart skipped a beat. Her fists clenched tight.

Yu Li, this is what you get for being so obvious every day, always helping Bo Jingmo so blatantly.

Great job, you finally got yourself flagged. Even a face change couldn’t save you…

“To be honest, this woman is none other than the number one on the leaderboard—Li Mu.”

“……”

Huh?

Hearing Yu Jiao’s revelation, Mu Chengsi’s pupils shrank. Her previous tension immediately flipped into dumbfounded confusion.

…Who the hell is Li Mu?

When realization hit, the corner of her mouth twitched as she remembered Yu Li’s recent question.

D**n, so this is the big surprise she was hiding all along?

But Yu Li’s current face is identical to Li Mu’s? She had thought something was off, but…

Her eyes couldn’t help drifting back to the screen. She stared at that face for a few extra seconds—until her entire body suddenly tensed. Her expression turned… complicated.

Wait a minute…

If that’s the case…

And Yu Jiao really intends to ask each person about their interactions with Li Mu—

Then what the h*ll is she supposed to say?

Sh*t, she’s the traitor!! And she even cheated to win!!

No wait, traitor? It wasn’t really betrayal… it was more like mutual cooper—

Oh f***, now’s not the time for semantics!

For once, Mu Chengsi actually looked flustered. Afraid of giving herself away, she quickly lowered her gaze and pretended to read her files.

What now what now… If she’d known, she would’ve let Yu Li erase her memory!

She instinctively pulled out her phone under the table, about to shoot Yu Li a message.

But just then, a familiar voice spoke beside her.

“Since that’s the case, shouldn’t Bo Jingmo be here too?”

Her fingers froze mid-type. She turned her head—it was Jiang Xi who asked the question.

Jiang Xi tilted her head toward Yu Jiao. Under the lights, the lenses on her glasses caught a faint reflection, making it hard to read her expression. “Bo Jingmo is Li Mu’s husband. He probably knows more than any of us. Shouldn’t we call him in?”

Yu Jiao tapped her pen on the paper and dragged out her words. “Bo Jingmo… Actually, I wanted to ask how you all view him.”

Seeing their stunned expressions, she continued slowly, “There’s another anomaly. You all should have noticed the black mist appearing around Bo Jingmo. That mist… is actually one of Li Mu’s skills.”

“We’re not sure why Li Mu’s skill would appear on Bo Jingmo, but it’s definitely not a good sign.”

Jiang Xi frowned slightly. “But that’s always been Bo Jingmo’s skill, hasn’t it? He’s had black mist before.”

“No, it’s different this time.” Yu Jiao cut her off.

She turned her gaze toward her, eyes gentle yet sharp enough to make others flinch. “This is Li Mu’s skill. It’s nothing like the old black mist.”

Rong Fan, sitting beside them, added coolly, “We suspect Bo Jingmo took Li Mu’s skill, which made Li Mu lose her ability and become an NPC. So now, the goal is to return the skill to her.”

Yu Jiao cast him a sidelong glance.

But she didn’t refute it—almost like she was agreeing by default.

It was the first time Jiang Xi had heard of someone taking another’s skill. She was curious. “And how do you plan to return it?”

Rong Fan gave a direct answer: “Kill Bo Jingmo.”

“……”

Jiang Xi was stunned for a second, then frowned. “Isn’t that a bit much? You haven’t even confirmed anything and you’re already talking about killing someone?”

She looked to her own leader, but he simply sipped his tea, eyes downcast, saying nothing.

But what Jiang Xi didn’t know was that Mu Chengsi was even more bewildered than she was.

All this time, she’d known how much effort deva put into Bo Jingmo—yet now they were talking about killing him over someone like Li Mu?

Most importantly, the Li Mu they kept referring to—

—She’s not even real!!

While everyone was distracted, Mu Chengsi quietly opened her chat app and lowered her head to type as fast as she could.

【Yu Li, we’ve got a big problem!! They’re about to ask me about Li Mu!!】

【And they’re planning to kill Bo Jingmo!!】
