Qin Qiaoqiao's Shyness, Chen Hao's Awkward Entrance

After school.

"Senior Jiang Che, were you serious about what you said this morning?"

Qin Qiaoqiao took the initiative to approach Jiang Che.

"Of course, I was. What’s the matter... do you want to elope with me?"

Jiang Che raised his hand and gently tapped the tip of the girl’s nose.

"Yes!!!"

The girl nodded resolutely.

She couldn’t bear the pressure from her mother anymore. All she wanted now was to stay by Senior Jiang Che’s side every day.

It was only with Jiang Che that she could feel that kind of love—a love that didn’t demand anything in return.

"Of course, that’s no problem. My house is empty. You can even stay there if you want."

"But... but I’m scared! My mom is a teacher at the school. If I stay at your house every day... wouldn’t she cause a scene? Wouldn’t that cause trouble for you?"

Qin Qiaoqiao was deeply conflicted.

"Haha... Do you think she’d dare? I could make her lose her job in an instant."

"No... please don’t. Don’t make my mom lose her job. She’s had a hard life." Qin Qiaoqiao spoke softly.

After all, Wang Lili was her mother, and the debt of gratitude for raising her was immense. It was just that her love was too extreme!

"Hmph... You’re so sweet, it’s heartbreaking."

Jiang Che gently ruffled the girl’s hair.

[Ah!!! I love Senior Jiang Che so much. I want to stay with him forever.]

"Shall I take you home?"

"No... that’s not necessary, right? It wouldn’t be good if someone saw us."

"Get in."

Jiang Che carried Qin Qiaoqiao to the passenger seat.

He completely missed the fact that, hundreds of meters away on the roadside, inside a Bentley, a girl’s face was slightly contorted.

"Senior Jiang Che, so... so this is the kind of person you are!"

Bai Jie had always thought Jiang Che was the type to be devoted to one girl.

But now... he wasn’t just two-timing; he was practically juggling multiple relationships.

"Senior Jiang Che, since you’re so free with your affections, don’t even think about rejecting me."

A bold idea slowly took shape in her mind.

"Hehe..."

A tinkling laugh echoed through the car.

......

"Damn... Is Chen Hao’s intel even reliable? Is that Qin Qiaoqiao really going to pass by here?"

In an alley, a dozen or so gangsters with dragon and tiger tattoos on their arms were smoking and complaining.

Leading them was Brother Dao.

Brother Dao had really gone all out for his buddy Chen Hao, bringing all his underlings with him.

A full dozen of them, fully armed!

"She’ll definitely come. Just wait."

Then Brother Dao glanced toward the corner of the alley, where Chen Hao, the security guard, was squatting on the ground, smoking a cigarette. He gave Brother Dao a confident look in return.

They had rehearsed the script beforehand. Once Qin Qiaoqiao passed by... the gangsters would harass her, and then he’d jump out to save the day, winning her heart.

Perfect!

But after waiting for what felt like forever, there was still no sign of her.

They were almost done with a whole pack of cigarettes, and still, no one showed up.

Just then, Jiang Che’s car passed by them. Jiang Che’s sharp eyes caught sight of Chen Hao, along with the gangsters.

What was Chen Hao doing hanging out with these thugs?

Were they... lying in wait?

Jiang Che glanced at Qin Qiaoqiao beside him and instantly understood.

As a man, he knew exactly what Chen Hao was up to.

He slowly brought the car to a stop, deciding to play along with Chen Hao’s little act.

You want to put on a show?

Fine, I’ll let you have your moment!

"Senior Jiang Che? We can get off here. My neighborhood is just up ahead."

Jiang Che smiled and opened the car door for her.

As the two stepped out of the car, Chen Hao was stunned.

Damn it! Had Qin Qiaoqiao already gotten so close to him?

But the moment he saw Jiang Che’s face, he was filled with rage. The girl he had finally fallen for... had been snatched away by this jerk.

"Brother Dao, that girl is Qin Qiaoqiao, the one I like. And the guy next to her... I want you to take him out!"

Brother Dao and his gang followed Chen Hao’s gaze and sure enough, they saw a young man and woman.

The girl was even wearing the uniform of Shilan School.

To be honest, when they saw Qin Qiaoqiao, they couldn’t help but swallow hard.

She was stunning!

One of the underlings whispered, "Damn, she’s a real looker! Should we have a taste ourselves?"

"This is the first time I’ve seen such a pure girl. She’s miles ahead of those salon girls!"

Brother Dao also gulped, "What the hell are you thinking? Do you think I, Brother Dao, would stoop so low as to steal a brother’s woman?"

"Besides... you’ve seen Chen Hao’s skills. We’d all be no match for him even if we teamed up."

They had the desire but not the guts.

"Let’s stick to the script and play along with him. As for the guy next to her... don’t mess with him. Did you see his car? It’s a Maybach with the license plate A99999. He’s not someone we can afford to cross."

"That idiot Chen Hao wants us to take out that guy? It’s not like he’s the one who’d end up in jail!"

Even gangsters had to have some sense these days. Being a thug wasn’t easy—you had to learn to read the room.

There was once a boss who didn’t know better. He saw a car with a B emblem and thought it was a BYD... so he beat the owner up. Turns out, it was a Bentley, and the owner had the boss taken out in retaliation.

...

Qin Qiaoqiao also sensed something unusual about the surroundings, her body trembling slightly.

These dozen or so gangsters didn’t look like they’d be easy to deal with.

"Senior Jiang Che, should we... call the police? Let’s just leave."

Jiang Che shielded her behind him, completely unfazed.

Chen Hao, hiding in the shadows, was already rubbing his hands in anticipation. This heroic rescue wouldn’t just win Qin Qiaoqiao’s heart—it would also let him beat up Jiang Che.

Two birds with one stone!

...

But when Brother Dao and his gang approached, they were stunned.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Brother Dao dropped the iron rod he was holding and ran up to Jiang Che with a flattering smile.

Jiang Che’s mouth twitched at the sight.

Brother Dao’s underlings were all dumbfounded. Why wasn’t the boss sticking to the script?

But whatever the boss did, they followed suit, and they all dropped their weapons.

"And you are?"

"It’s only natural that you don’t recognize me, Mr. Jiang. I’m just a small-time thug. You can call me Little Dao."

"I work under Brother Long, who works under Brother Qiang, who... well, works for Young Master Wang."

Jiang Che: "..."

This Young Master Wang... who else could it be but Wang Zheng?

This was hilarious. Wang Zheng, of all people, being called Young Master Wang. What a food chain this was!

Brother Dao → Brother Long → Brother Qiang → Wang Zheng → Jiang Che

It really made Mr. Jiang laugh.

"So what are you planning to do? Rob me?" Jiang Che asked.

"Not at all! How could we dare to rob you? It’s like this..."

Brother Dao explained the whole situation to Jiang Che, confirming what Jiang Che had already guessed.

But Qin Qiaoqiao was confused, "Senior Jiang Che, who’s Chen Hao? I don’t remember him."

Meanwhile, Chen Hao, not far away, was growing impatient.

"Why are these guys so unreliable? We had a script... why aren’t they following it?"

"I told you to teach Jiang Che a lesson, and you’re just chatting with him?"

Chen Hao was clearly annoyed. These gangsters were just too low-level!

But now he decided to take matters into his own hands!

With a dramatic entrance, Chen Hao made his appearance!

"Hey!"

"In broad daylight, what are you thugs up to?"

[PS: Just to clarify, Qin Qiaoqiao and Jiang Che are in the same grade. Here, we refer to upperclassmen or those older than us as seniors. Even those in the same grade can be called seniors, as it helps to build a closer relationship. Well, that’s 90 words successfully filled!]

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
