Jiang Che hadn’t expected that before he could even go looking for Wang Yanran, this woman would take the initiative to come to him.
“Oh, Sister Yanran, come on in and let’s chat.”
Jiang Che glanced at Wang Yanran standing before him and couldn’t help but swallow hard. Wang Yanran’s figure was truly explosive!
[You little brat, where are you looking?]
Wang Yanran, a former police officer, was highly observant of people’s facial expressions. Jiang Che’s persistent gaze made her uncomfortable.
“Ahem... Sister Yanran, what brings you here?”
Jiang Che knew that Wang Yanran was most likely here because of Wang Laiyun.
Wang Yanran collected her thoughts. “Jiang Che, my father is in trouble.”
Jiang Che feigned surprise. “Uncle is in trouble?”
“Yes, my father has been framed for corruption and bribery. But you know my father—he would never do something like that.”
“So... Sister Yanran, you’re not thinking of asking my family to step in and help your father, are you?”
Wang Yanran fell silent. After much deliberation, it seemed that only the Jiang Family had the influence to help.
“Sister Yanran, you know our family is in business. Business and politics shouldn’t mix...”
Jiang Che’s words made Wang Yanran lower her head. She knew this all too well.
“Jiang Che, I was too hasty.”
Wang Yanran’s mood was visibly downcast.
“But... it’s not entirely impossible to help!”
Wang Yanran looked up, meeting Jiang Che’s faint, teasing smile.
“What do you mean...”
“Hehe, Sister Yanran, let’s not talk at the door. Come inside!”
Jiang Che “invited” Wang Yanran into his home.
Upstairs, Bai Qiangwei was engrossed in a drama, while downstairs in the living room, Dong’er sat on the floor feeding a cat, looking utterly adorable.
“Jiang Che... that girl... is she really 20 years old?”
Wang Yanran pointed at Dong’er, unable to believe that such a petite, silver-haired girl could already be 20.
“Of course. Isn’t her identity clear? She’s a girl adopted by the ancient martial arts Jiang Family, registered as a peak-level martial artist in the ancient martial arts department.”
“Alright, alright, Sister Yanran, let’s not worry about Dong’er for now. Let’s talk about Uncle’s situation first.”
Jiang Che led Wang Yanran to the sofa.
......
Over an hour later, Jiang Che and Wang Yanran finally reached an agreement.
“Jiang Che, where did you get all this?”
Wang Yanran was shocked as she looked at the videos on her phone—evidence of crimes committed by Deputy Police Chief Qi Lv. How had Jiang Che obtained this?
“I’ve never gotten along with Deputy Chief Qi Lv, so I’ve had some dirt on him for a while. Taking him down won’t be a problem. Once Qi Lv falls, your father’s situation will be much easier to resolve.”
“As for how I got it... you didn’t think I dug up Qi Lv’s secrets just for you, did you?”
Jiang Che smirked, exuding a somewhat roguish charm.
“You—” Wang Yanran was furious but had no choice. This little pervert, five years her junior, still dared to act so boldly around her.
“Jiang Che, can you give me these materials?”
Wang Yanran asked tentatively.
“Of course,” Jiang Che replied straightforwardly.
[He’s being so cooperative?]
Wang Yanran was surprised. She had expected Jiang Che to give her a hard time.
“Alright, Sister Yanran, everything’s on this USB drive. Taking down Qi Lv won’t be a problem. And once his backers fall... well, you know the rest.”
“Thank... thank you!” Wang Yanran said earnestly, a hint of bashfulness in her eyes that made Jiang Che want to laugh.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the villainous choice.]
[Rewards obtained: Super Butler Team, Eternal Youth Elixir Formula.]
Hearing the system’s notification, Jiang Che’s lips curled into a faint smile.
This was perfect!
With the butler team, he wouldn’t have to worry about discretion in the villa anymore. And if he ever wanted to start a company or business, the team could handle everything for him. He could just sit back and watch the money roll in!
And that Eternal Youth Elixir Formula—now that was a truly rare treasure!
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
