"Gu Lingfei... is she coming?"
Jiang Che asked.
"Yes! Feifei is planning to move her company's headquarters back to Dragon Country and develop here in the future," Jiang Yunli replied.
Perfect, the next novel's female lead candidate is set!
"Mom, do you know anything about Gu Lingfei's recent situation? It's been a long time since we last met... I want to ask about her," Jiang Che said, cupping his chin.
"You've asked the right person! I'm Feifei's best friend, the kind you can talk to about anything," Jiang Yunli said, as if she could be sisters with girls of any age.
"Feifei is really capable. It would be great if she could become my daughter-in-law... ahem..."
【Ah~~~ Feifei is indeed a standard daughter-in-law material. With that big... you know, she must be good at having kids, but Che already has Wan'er... What a dilemma!】
Jiang Yunli accidentally blurted out her thoughts.
"What I meant was... Feifei is like my own daughter!"
"Do you know why Gu Lingfei renamed her company? It's now called LingChe Group!!! You're not a small figure in Feifei's heart, you know!"
"And Feifei hasn't been in a relationship before!"
"But she's been complaining to me a lot recently about some guy trying to chase her..."
Alright, now Jiang Che was certain. It seems another protagonist is about to appear!
What kind of protagonist could it be, developing abroad?
Besides a Dragon Lord or War God, what else could it be?
"Mom, with all the chaos outside, with wars everywhere, do you think the guy chasing my Feifei sister could be some kind of mercenary?" Jiang Che joked.
Jiang Yunli's expression changed, and she quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, you're right!"
"It seems he really is some kind of mercenary!"
Jiang Che chuckled internally. Dragon Lords and War Gods are everywhere. Now that Gu Lingfei has returned to Dragon Country... I guess this War God will be back soon too.
"Che, I've had someone cleaning the room next to yours every day. When Feifei arrives, just have her stay with us..."
Jiang Che: "......"
Jiang Yunli's little thoughts were practically written all over her face, and even Jiang Yuan was silent.
When he works... if a little secretary talks to him a bit more, she'd be interrogated to the core. But when it comes to his son... she wants to introduce all the pretty girls to him?
That's way too biased!
Feeling blue and sad!
......
The next morning.
When Jiang Che woke up, he was completely stunned.
Jiang Yunli and Jiang Yuan had actually moved out!
They moved out overnight, leaving only a Birman cat for him.
"Meow meow meow~" The cat seemed hungry, rubbing its head against Jiang Che's ankle, looking up at him with big blue eyes, as if it was begging.
"Get lost," Jiang Che wasn't a cat lover, even though this Birman was indeed very beautiful.
After breakfast, Jiang Che looked down and saw the cat staring at him longingly.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you some cat food, okay? Stop flirting with me!"
Jiang Che scooped some cat food into a bowl and then left without looking back.
......
"F***! I'm a patient, dammit!"
At the entrance of Bomei Hospital, Lin Yu, dressed in a hospital gown, cursed loudly.
He had previously been kicked by Jiang Che, breaking three ribs, but Jiang Che was fine... while he ended up hospitalized for several days, with even the medical fees paid by a kind policeman.
Now he had no money and was kicked out of the hospital.
At this moment, a fat and a thin figure appeared in front of him.
"Get lost! What hospital do you think you're in with no money?" Wang Zheng, with a menacing face, pointed at Lin Yu.
The two had now become professional errand runners. Wherever Lin Yu went... they would follow.
Their main goal was to make him suffer!
All for Jiang Che's mission!
Lin Yu was furious seeing these two. They were Jiang Che's lackeys.
"This is a hospital! Not your home. What right do you have to kick me out!"
Wang Zheng laughed, "Oh? Sorry! This Bomei Hospital happens to be mine! Don't believe me... ask the doctors here."
A doctor nearby chuckled, "Mr. Wang, you're joking."
Lin Yu: "......"
Why!!!
Why is even the heavens against me?
"I'll leave! A hospital... actually kicking out a patient, without a shred of medical ethics!"
Lin Yu snorted coldly. He was different... he was a Ghost Doctor heir, with a heart to save the world.
Liu Tie sneered, "Oh, so you have medical ethics? How amazing you are, only treating the rich and powerful. Why don't you go to remote areas and be a barefoot doctor if you want to save people?"
"Ask yourself, out of all the people you've saved, who wasn't extraordinary? Aren't you just after their status and position?"
Liu Tie's words instantly broke Lin Yu.
He wanted to explain, he really wasn't purposeful!
But he couldn't explain it, because every time he saved someone, their status was extraordinary.
As for going to remote areas to be a barefoot doctor? Impossible! He still wanted to pick up girls in the city!
"Hmph!" Lin Yu turned his face and prepared to leave.
But then, Wang Zheng's words completely broke him.
"You bastard, a man-eating monster, a murderer... you don't even know how to apologize!" Wang Zheng picked his nose, dug out a big chunk, and flicked it onto Lin Yu's forehead, sticky and unable to fall off.
Lin Yu was stunned, but soon he thought of something.
"Ugh~~~"
"You son of a b***h, it was you who... ugh!"
Lin Yu completely broke down!
That morning... was an unforgettable nightmare for him!
Even now, thinking about it made him feel nauseous.
"I'll kill you!"
Lin Yu wanted to attack, but he had no home advantage, and the hospital's security guards had stun batons. He was quickly restrained by the security and thrown out.
......
Damn it!
So unfair!!!
Lin Yu, penniless, lay on the side of a small road, feeling like the whole world had abandoned him.
But he was a protagonist with luck on his side, a chosen one by the heavens.
Soon, his next opportunity arrived.
"Don't beat me, I'll give you money, don't hit me!"
Lin Yu quickly got up.
He walked into an alley where a middle-aged man in a suit was being beaten up by a few thugs.
"Let him go."
The protagonist strikes, and it's clear he's the one. Despite having broken ribs, he easily defeated the thugs.
The middle-aged man slowly got up from the ground, carefully examining Lin Yu.
"Young man, thank you. If not for you, I would have been beaten to death today."
"I see you're quite skilled, but your clothes... you don't seem to have much money, do you?"
The suit man's words hit the deepest part of Lin Yu's heart!
He was indeed short of money!
Jiang Che was only so confident because he had money!
"Can you make me rich?" Lin Yu asked tentatively.
"Haha, of course! With your skills, you'd be a waste not to fight in underground boxing!"
The suit man's words made Lin Yu pause. Underground boxing?
"Yes, yes! Underground boxing!"
Lin Yu frowned. He knew this sounded like illegal activities. "I don't do illegal things."
"Winning a match gets you 500,000! If you make a name for yourself... your value will be even higher. Winning a match could even be worth several million!"
Lin Yu's eyes widened. This money... came too fast!
He was tempted!
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
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.
