Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 222: But Young Master, Why Do You Look So Pale?

Noticing Jiang Che’s strange expression, Li Chengfeng shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mind. After all, he had no feelings for this woman; it was just a whim.

If Jiang Che was really interested, he wouldn’t mind giving her to him. Li Chengfeng’s attitude left Jiang Che speechless and at a loss for words. Although they were brothers, did he have to be so generous?

“I have something to discuss with you privately.” Jiang Che glanced at Li Chengfeng, making his intention clear.

Li Chengfeng naturally understood, waving his hand to dismiss the internet celebrity named Weiwei. Though reluctant, Weiwei still left, knowing she couldn’t afford to offend either Li Chengfeng or Jiang Che. She dared not go against their wishes.

“Do you remember a young master named Li Tian who was expelled from your family?” After she left, Jiang Che took a sip of the red wine on the table and asked Li Chengfeng.

“I have some impression. Boss, why are you suddenly bringing him up?” Li Chengfeng nodded, frowning as he looked at Jiang Che with some confusion.

He couldn’t understand why Jiang Che suddenly mentioned this person, as Li Tian had been expelled from the family for over six years, and his current status was unknown.

“Tomorrow, he will return to Linjiang City and take over your family.”

“That can’t be. Did he befriend some big shot over the past six years?” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Li Chengfeng said skeptically.

His father, Li Zhiyong, had already gained the support of the family members. How could Li Tian seize power from his father now?

“Li Tian’s experiences over the years have been quite extraordinary. He has now mastered extremely powerful martial arts and remarkable medical skills.”

“Isn’t your grandfather critically ill? When Li Tian returns tomorrow, he will first cure your grandfather’s illness, thereby gaining the family’s approval.”

“So, boss, do you have any plans?” Li Chengfeng asked seriously, now realizing the gravity of the situation.

Though Jiang Che spoke lightly, if Li Tian did as he said, he might indeed gain the old man’s approval. After all, the old man had always felt guilty about Li Tian’s father’s death and expelling the young Li Tian from the family.

“Let’s wait and see. I’ll help you with this, don’t worry. I called you here today to give you a heads-up.” Jiang Che smiled, knowing he couldn’t sit idly by.

First, because Li Tian was a prime target, and he wouldn’t let him go easily. Second, because of his good relationship with Li Chengfeng, who deserved his support.

“Thank you, boss.” Li Chengfeng felt deeply touched by Jiang Che’s words.

He didn’t know Jiang Che’s true intentions, only that Jiang Che was willing to help him unconditionally. This moved him greatly, and he didn’t ask how Jiang Che knew about this. He didn’t want to know.

He knew Jiang Che had a vast network of connections throughout Jiangzhou, so finding out such things was relatively easy for him.

He picked up a bottle of beer, poured himself a glass, and smiled, “Boss, it’s been a few days. Tonight, let’s drink until we drop!”

“Weiwei, come back and join us!”

…

After leaving the Blue Note Bar, Jiang Che got into the bodyguard’s car and returned to Crouching Dragon Villa.

As for the Bugatti, he planned to have someone pick it up the next day. Upon returning to the villa, Jiang Che shook his somewhat dizzy head.

Entering the living room, he saw Ji Menglan sitting on the sofa, her white hands clenched tightly, looking nervous.

“Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” Jiang Che sat across from Ji Menglan, poured himself a cup of tea to sober up, and asked her curiously.

It was already midnight, and she should have been asleep according to her usual schedule. Jiang Che glanced at Ji Menglan, noticing her wearing a knee-length white silk dress that seemed a bit inappropriate.

It was probably Ah Qing’s usual attire, as her figure was more petite compared to Ji Menglan’s fuller figure. Thinking of this, Jiang Che’s expression became even more puzzled. What was this woman up to?

“I… I was waiting for you to come back.” Ji Menglan said shyly, her face flushed. Making this decision had made her hesitate for a long time.

Jiang Che suddenly understood, saying nothing more. He took her white hand and led her upstairs to the bedroom.

…

The next day, Jiang Che groggily opened his eyes, glanced at Ji Menglan lying beside him with tenderness, kissed her cheek, and got out of bed.

After washing up quietly, he went downstairs without making much noise to avoid disturbing Ji Menglan.

After Jiang Che left, Ji Menglan slowly opened her eyes, looking at the door with a gentle gaze, no longer as haughty as before.

She turned over and quickly fell back asleep. She was exhausted, after all, Jiang Che was quite relentless…

…

“System, open the mysterious treasure chest.” Jiang Che sat in the living room, eating breakfast while communicating with the system in his mind.

He hadn’t opened the mysterious treasure chest rewarded for killing Huang Xiaolong yesterday, so now was the time.

“Ding, opening the mysterious treasure chest…”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 20000 villain points.”

Not bad!

Looking at the reward, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction. As long as it wasn’t another Human Infant Burp Bag! With these twenty thousand villain points, he can improve his cultivation once more.

“Young Master, have some porridge.” Ah Qing handed Jiang Che a bowl of white porridge, looking at him with concern.

Jiang Che glanced at the porridge and saw goji berries in it. His mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, “Ah Qing, I’m really fine. I don’t need this.” ƒreewebɳovel.com

His little maid was overly concerned about him. He had told her countless times that he was fine, but Ah Qing just wouldn’t believe it.

“But Young Master, why do you look so pale?” Ah Qing looked at Jiang Che suspiciously. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to believe him, but Jiang Che did look rather pale.
