Although Butler Li knew that Jiang Chen loved Jiang Qingli deeply, he believed Jiang Chen only wanted endless love, not endless money.
Still, this was the best comfort he could offer.
Little did he know that Jiang Chen, on the other end, had already started playing a celebratory tune.
‘Great, great! What a wonderful “little compensation”! This isn’t a little compensation at all. It’s a freaking fortune!’
‘Thank you to my number-one benefactor for the generous gift!’
‘Please punish me like this more often, okay? I can never have too much!’
Jiang Chen did not even bother with the shared bicycle anymore. He was just about to call a local car rental company when his phone suddenly rang.
[Ring, ring! The cutest little piggy, psycho yandere Su Zhenyue, is calling!!]
The outrageous ringtone blasted from his phone.
The corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.
‘Su Zhenyue? The young lady of the Su Family? That rabid yandere, Su Zhenyue?’
‘The same woman who accidentally went blind three years ago and was abandoned when Jiang Haotian went abroad, causing her to develop an extreme hatred of men?’
‘The woman who became known as the “Formaldehyde Collector” and the “Bestower of Oxygen-Free Swimming”?’
‘The genius who only likes strawberry milk lollipops at bars and somehow manages to get drunk? That Su Zhenyue?’
‘Damn it. I’m seriously starting to suspect the original host was the Chosen One.’
‘Where the hell did he find so many Pokémon? I really want to throw a Poké Ball and catch them all. Boohoo!’
‘But is my number-two benefactor calling to give me money, or is she here to cause trouble?’
‘I already changed my phone number. How the hell did she manage to call me?’
‘Is she cheating or something?’
Since Jiang Qingli had been relatively reasonable earlier, Jiang Chen had developed the mistaken impression that yanderes might not be all that terrifying. Thus, he cautiously answered the call.
Instantly, an icy, arrogant female voice filled with a bone-chilling coldness came from the other end.
“Jiang Chen, what exactly do you mean by changing your phone number without telling me…?”
“And are you crippled? You answered my call 3.04 seconds late.”
At that moment, Su Zhenyue was dressed in a red dress and sitting against the leather sofa of a private club. A pink strawberry milk lollipop rested between her lips as she spoke in a chilling voice.
When Jiang Chen remained silent, she brushed aside her seaweed-like black hair. Her red lips slowly curved into an eerie, sinister smile.
“Not talking? Then we’ll discuss it face-to-face.”
“I’ve been drinking. I’m at Yunchu Club. Come pick me up…”
“Then we’ll go to my basement…”
Before she could finish, Jiang Chen swiftly pulled the phone away from his ear.
Without the slightest hesitation, he hung up, snapped the SIM card in half, and tossed it down a drain.
‘Damn it! Miscalculation! She wasn’t calling to give me money. She was calling to take my life!’
‘This is a full-blown red-haired zombie!’
‘I got too greedy this time!’
‘From now on, I’m never registering another SIM card with my own ID.’
As for Su Zhenyue, he had already stopped simping for her, so why the hell should he care what she wanted?
If he could not escape within 30 minutes, he would consider his evacuation a complete failure!
Without another thought, Jiang Chen began pedaling the shared bicycle like a madman. He headed straight toward the nearest shady advertisement plastered with phrases such as “Turn Living People into Trees,” “Revive the Dead,” and “One-Day Bride.”
He planned to get himself a fake ID first, then head to a nightclub.
‘Wait, “Turn Living People into Trees”? Isn’t that just burying someone in the ground? But this “One-Day Bride” thing… might be worth trying.’
Jiang Chen memorized the advertisement. While he was at it, he swapped the phone numbers on an advertisement for dog breeding services and the one advertising a one-day bride.
‘Just doing a good deed. I’m such a kindhearted person!’
As for getting another SIM card, it was probably better to hold off for now!
Meanwhile, after the call was disconnected, Su Zhenyue stared at her phone in disbelief.
She remained completely stunned for several seconds.
‘Did I see that wrong?’
‘My call… was actually hung up?’
‘Jiang Chen hung up on me?’
Her phone had to be broken.
After all, ever since she had accidentally lost her sight three years ago and Jiang Haotian had gone abroad, Jiang Chen had been the one who remained constantly by her side.
For the past three years, he had accompanied her step by step as she slowly returned to the light.
He had cared for her meticulously and treated her with endless gentleness. No matter how badly she lost her temper, his devotion never changed.
He had never even spoken a single harsh word to her.
He would even call her “Master” just to make her happy.
Yet now, Jiang Chen had actually hung up on her?
“Hahaha!”
Su Zhenyue’s red lips curled into a cold, unhinged smile.
Beneath her seaweed-like black hair, her bold and breathtakingly beautiful face was gorgeous enough to captivate anyone, yet every assistant around her fell deathly silent in fear.
‘Interesting.’
‘He’s joking with me, isn’t he?’
‘Unfortunately… I don’t like this kind of joke.’
Su Zhenyue narrowed her beautiful eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them. “Find him for me within 30 minutes, no matter where he is…”
“Jiang Chen, you’d better give me a reasonable explanation.”
“Otherwise, I don’t mind letting you experience a bath in blue-colored water…”
Meanwhile, far away in a clothing store, Jiang Chen suddenly sneezed.
He had absolutely no idea that someone was already hunting him down.
Jiang Chen looked into the mirror. By now, he had changed into a suit.
His hair had been styled into a neat American-style slicked-back side part, perfectly complementing his ridiculously handsome face.
Even the saleswoman beside him could not hide the amazement in her eyes. “Sir, please come this way to pay.”
“You need to pay with one kiss, ahem! I mean, you need to pay 30,000. Will that be by card or cash?”
The saleswoman’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Jiang Chen could not help laughing. He directly took her hand and gently kissed the back of it.
Instantly, teasing screams and cheers erupted throughout the store.
Jiang Chen casually strode out of the shop and climbed into the flashy blue Lamborghini that had already been delivered and was waiting outside. He stepped on the accelerator and headed straight for the largest nightclub in the city.
‘Are you kidding me? I finally got a second chance with a face this handsome. Of course I’m going to do whatever I want!’
Before long, Jiang Chen’s car stopped outside the city’s largest nightclub.
The moment he parked, one of the promoters waiting outside rushed toward him.
“Handsome guy, welcome! Come right in! Do you have a reservation?”
The promoter’s eyes practically lit up.
Jiang Chen smiled and walked into the nightclub, surrounded by dazzling neon lights. With an extravagant wave of his hand, he declared, “Bring every girl you have over here. Give me your best booth and your best, most expensive drinks.”
“I’m paying for everything tonight!!”
“All expenses tonight are on Mr. Ji!”
The instant those words rang out, cheers and screams erupted throughout the nightclub.
Jiang Chen was surrounded by the crowd and escorted into the booth.
Soon, the floor manager brought over more than 30 beautiful women, who entered one after another.
There was every type imaginable, ranging from 18-year-old young women to glamorous 30-year-old women. Some were sexy, some innocent, some radiant, and others seductive.
For a moment, the entire booth was filled with nothing but giggling voices.
They were all calling him “Brother.”
Jiang Chen was not stingy either. With a wave of his hand, he kept them all.
Instantly, more than a dozen beautiful women crowded around him. Some poured his drinks, some massaged his shoulders, while others fed him fruit.
“Ah~ Brother, have mine~ Have mine~”
“Brother, have some water~ Take it slowly~”
“Okay, okay! I’ll drink yours after I finish hers. Brother just loves drinking a little salty… Pfft! A little sweet water…”
Surrounded by beautiful women on both sides, Jiang Chen was thoroughly enjoying himself.
‘Now this is the kind of life a human being should be living!’
However, he completely failed to notice that a black Maybach had just stopped outside the nightclub.
“Is Jiang Chen here?”
Dressed in a red dress, Su Zhenyue stepped out of the car, her entire body radiating an icy chill.
The nightclub manager was already standing nervously to one side. With fear written across his face, he cautiously asked, “Young Miss… what could possibly require you to come here personally?”
After all, every nightclub business throughout A City belonged to the Su Family.
The Su Family wielded overwhelming influence in the city, and Su Zhenyue herself was the true person in charge of the family.
What kind of matter could possibly warrant her coming here personally?
“I’m looking for Jiang Chen,” Su Zhenyue said coldly.
The manager looked confused. “Y-Young Miss, we haven’t seen the Jiang Chen… Young Master Jiang you’re talking about.”
“You haven’t seen him? My people found out that he came here to spend money after transferring his assets, and you’re telling me you haven’t seen him?”
A murderous glint appeared in Su Zhenyue’s beautiful eyes.
The manager’s face paled with terror, and he hurriedly explained, “Young Miss, there really isn’t anyone named Jiang Chen here. However, there is a gentleman named Ji Boda who covered everyone’s expenses tonight.”
“Could he be the Jiang Chen you’re looking for…?”
Before the manager could finish speaking, Su Zhenyue had already stormed into the nightclub.
