NOVEL NEXT Chapter 137: Someone Dares to Disrespect Me, Cangmang Zhenren!
“Ah ah ah!” Yang Wei struggled to get up from the ground, yelling like a mad dog on the road, looking extremely pained.
His face was twisted with anger, unable to suppress his inner rage anymore. He raised his hand and sent out a palm strike, a sword beam shot out from his palm and smashed towards the tree by the roadside.
“Boom!”
With a dull thud, the tree was cut in half by the sword beam, causing a shower of dirt and rocks around.
Still not satisfied, Yang Wei continued to strike out several palms, and the nearby trees all fell victim to his wrath.
“Jiang Che! I will kill you!” Yang Wei roared hoarsely, looking insane, “No, I need to calm down…” Yang Wei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
If he kept going crazy like this, it would only worsen his injuries. He took out his phone and dialed his master, Cangmang Zhenren’s number. Although his master was on Cangmang Mountain, he wasn’t completely cut off from the world and still used a phone.
“You brat, calling me so late, don’t you know you’re disturbing my sleep?” As soon as the call was connected, an old man’s grumpy voice came through.
“Master…” Hearing his master’s voice, Yang Wei couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he choked up.
“What happened to you?” Cangmang Zhenren frowned, asking with some confusion. He clearly noticed something off in Yang Wei’s tone. It lacked the usual masculinity and had a more feminine quality.
“Master… I’ve been turned into a eunuch by Jiang Che…” Yang Wei sobbed and recounted the entire grudge between him and Jiang Che.
“How outrageously arrogant! To dare treat my disciple this way, does he think I have no temper? It seems I’ve been out of the limelight for too long, and many have forgotten my name!”
“Wait for me, I’ll head to Linjiang City now, and I’ll be there the day after tomorrow. This time, I will get justice for you!” Cangmang Zhenren said angrily. He was truly furious this time.
He didn’t expect anyone in Linjiang City to dare disrespect him like this! Just as he was about to break through to the realm of Unity of Man and Heaven, he needed a catalyst, and venting this anger might just be it. As for Yang Wei’s injury, they would find a solution later.
“Jiang Che, let’s see what you do this time!” Hanging up the phone, a cruel, bloodthirsty smile spread across Yang Wei’s face. He laughed maniacally, as if he could already see Jiang Che’s death, momentarily forgetting the pain in his body…
…
“System, I want to improve my cultivation…” In the garden pavilion of Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che sat cross-legged on the ground, communicating with the system in his mind.
It had been some time since his last cultivation upgrade, and he had stabilized his cultivation over the past few days. Now he could advance to the peak of Transformation.
Moreover, that old thing Cangmang Zhenren should be coming soon, and he needed to improve his cultivation quickly to be able to fight him!
“Ding, deducting 10,000 villain points, upgrading ‘Mysterious Heavenly Scripture’…”
…
The upgrade lasted a full five hours, and when Jiang Che opened his eyes again, it was already midnight and the moon was high, the stars were sparse.
“Phew…” Jiang Che exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the power coursing through his body, and couldn’t help but stretch.
“So this is the power of the peak of Transformation…” Jiang Che raised his hand and struck out a palm, and a stone a hundred meters away shattered into powder and quickly dissipated into the air.
“System, how many villain points are needed for the next upgrade?” Jiang Che asked curiously. According to this damn system’s usual behavior, the points needed for each major breakthrough would multiply.
“To advance from the peak of Transformation to the peak of Unity of Man and Heaven, each upgrade requires 50,000 villain points.”
“Fifty thousand?” Hearing the system’s explanation, Jiang Che’s face darkened, feeling speechless.
How many protagonists do I have to kill to upgrade once? This damn system is truly a profiteer!
Complaints aside, Jiang Che had nothing more to say. At worst, he would just go out more often and encounter more protagonists.
After consolidating his cultivation, Jiang Che yawned and went back to sleep.
…
The next day, at the Shen family villa.
“Where are you going?” Lin Wanrou looked at her son Lin Nan, frowning.
She noticed that ever since they came to Linjiang City, her son had become very strange. He was either holed up in his room all day or constantly going out without saying a word to anyone.
Could he have been traumatized?
“Mom, I have something to do.” Lin Nan said and left the Shen family gate without looking back.
There was no point in explaining. He couldn’t possibly tell her that he had acquired shares in a company through the system’s sign-in, and now he was going to sign the transfer agreement, could he?
“You better behave yourself and don’t have any unrealistic ideas.” Watching Lin Nan’s back, Lin Wanrou warned seriously.
It seemed staying with the Shen family was no longer feasible. They needed to return home earlier. She feared her son might cause some trouble if he stayed here any longer.
Lin Nan waved his hand without saying anything, got into his car, and headed straight for a small company on a bustling street in the city center.
…
“Young master, Lin Nan went to a gaming company in the city center after leaving the Shen family.” In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa, Ah Long respectfully reported the information gathered by his brothers.
“What’s the name of this gaming company?” Jiang Che asked curiously, already guessing that Lin Nan was likely going to handle the transfer of shares.
After all, such reborn entrepreneurs usually followed this routine, but the e-commerce industry had already been preempted by him, so the plot was completely disrupted. He had no idea which gaming company Lin Nan had acquired shares in.
“Star Game Company…”
“Star Game Company? Isn’t that a subsidiary of the Jiang family?” Jiang Che was stunned, a bit taken aback. Star Game Company was a small subsidiary of the Jiang family.
During his last visit home, he had heard his mother mention that the gaming market was already saturated, making it difficult to make any profit, and she planned to sell the company’s shares soon. Unexpectedly, it ended up in Lin Nan’s hands?
Thinking about this, Jiang Che’s expression turned a bit strange.
He was sure this guy’s money had an improper origin. Lin Nan was just an illegitimate son of the Lin family from the neighboring Tianhai City, with no real influence or resources. With just a phone call, he could have the Jiang family investigate the flow of Lin Nan’s funds, and that guy would be in trouble.
With this in mind, Jiang Che didn’t hesitate and directly called Su Shanshan.
The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Che asked directly, “Mom, did you already sell the shares of Star Game Company?”
“Yes, that company was almost bankrupt, so I sold it. Is there a problem?” On the other end, Su Shanshan’s tone was a bit puzzled.
“How much did you sell it for? How many shares?”
“One billion, for 70% of the shares.” Su Shanshan replied. Star Game Company was just a small subsidiary of the Jiang family, and selling it wouldn’t affect them at all. She couldn’t understand why Jiang Che suddenly asked about it.
And one billion wasn’t much… just Jiang Che’s allowance for ten months…
“The person who bought Star Game Company has issues, Mom, you should quickly investigate where that billion came from.” Jiang Che said with a cold smile. A poor boy with a sudden surge in wealth, owning luxury cars and houses, clearly had problems.
Just a little investigation would reveal everything.
“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it…” Although puzzled by Jiang Che’s actions, Su Shanshan didn’t think much and immediately hung up the phone to order an investigation into the source of that billion.
…
“Where is Yang Wei now?” After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che asked Ah Long curiously.

“Yang Wei found a hotel on Tiannan Road in the Western District and settled there. He hasn’t gone out since, probably recovering from his injuries.” Ah Long replied respectfully.
“Got it, have the brothers keep an eye on him and report any movement to me.” Jiang Che waved his hand, signaling Ah Long to leave.
“Young master, why do you always have them monitor some people?” After Ah Long left, Ah Qing, who was massaging Jiang Che’s shoulders, asked curiously.
Over the past month, her young master had had the guards monitor numerous people.
“Because they are my leeks, bringing me benefits. I’m protecting them.” Jiang Che said playfully, tweaking Ah Qing’s nose.
Ah Qing nodded in half understanding and didn’t ask further. This wasn’t something she should worry about. She just needed to fulfill her duties as a maid.
“Young master, how’s the strength?”
“A bit harder…”
“Comfortable…” Jiang Che squinted his eyes in enjoyment, leaning back on the sofa and enjoying the girl’s massage.
