Chapter 12 - Party

After learning Jiang Che’s true identity, his attitude became much more respectful. The Jiang family was an entity he could never afford to provoke, and the fact that Jiang Che had such documents demonstrated the immense power behind the Jiang family. With a mere gesture, they could end his life.

“Submit to me and work for me,” Jiang Che said, lighting a cigarette and speaking slowly.

“Okay, I’m willing,” Li Hu quickly agreed. It was better to take shelter under a big tree.

Naturally, he was more than willing to ally himself with a family like the Jiangs. He believed that if he refused, his life would be in jeopardy.

…

“Ding, Host has subjugated Li Hu, altering the course of the story, reward: 1000 villain points.”

Jiang Che wasn’t surprised by Li Hu’s easy submission. After all, in the original story, Li Hu was known for his fear of death. Years of comfortable living had completely eroded his former boldness.

“Smart choice,” Jiang Che said with a cold laugh, standing up and walking towards the door.

“Now, stop all the business you’re currently handling. I’ll have someone instruct you if there’s anything to be done. Don’t try to be clever with me, or you’ll meet a gruesome end…”

Watching Jiang Che leave the private room, Li Hu collapsed into his chair, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. “I don’t know if today’s decision was good or bad…” Li Hu murmured to himself.

He was adept at judging people and could tell that this young master of the Jiang family was no ordinary person. But Jiang Che didn’t seem to be an easy person to deal with.

…

“Young Master, why didn’t you kill him for offending you?” After leaving the Heaven on Earth club, Ah Long asked Jiang Che, somewhat puzzled, then realized his overstep.

After all, he was just a bodyguard and had no right to question Jiang Che’s decisions. “I spoke out of turn…”

“You don’t have to be so rigid,” Jiang Che said, looking at him and shaking his head with a smile.

Ah Long would likely become his primary ally in the future, so it was necessary to treat him well. “I didn’t kill him because I have my reasons.”

Li Hu still had some use, at least for now, to interfere with Ye Chen, the yet-to-arrive protagonist. When Li Hu becomes useless, Jiang Che would not hesitate to eliminate him. “Let’s go home…”

In the past few days, Jiang Che hadn’t gone to school, spending his time lounging by his home’s swimming pool, enjoying life.

Three days later, he received an invitation letter. “A cocktail party hosted by Wang Shao?” he wondered, looking at the invitation in his hand and asking Ah Long, “Who is this Wang Shao?”

“Wang Shao is the young master of the Wang family, one of the four major families of Linjiang City,” Ah Long explained.

“The young master of the Wang family?” Jiang Che mused. “Interesting, let’s go take a look.”

He decided to show up, not one to keep a low profile. He figured making connections with these wealthy heirs of Linjiang City might come in handy later, potentially as a means to trip up Ye Chen, the protagonist.

“Very well, young master,” Ah Long agreed.

…

Arriving at the Linjiang Crown Hotel, Jiang Che parked his car and headed inside, but was soon stopped by a security guard at the door. “Sir, I’m sorry, our hotel is not open to the public today. Do you have an invitation?” the guard asked politely.

“Of course, here you go,” Jiang Che replied, unfazed and handing over his invitation to the security guard. He was not the kind of protagonist who would make a scene over such a small matter, as it would be undignified.

After all, he was representing the entire Jiang family, and making a fuss over a trivial matter would only be embarrassing. Plus, it was normal for these wealthy heirs, who he hadn’t mingled with before, not to recognize him.

“Sir, please come in,” the security guard said respectfully after checking the invitation and gesturing for Jiang Che to enter.

On the sixth floor of the hotel, Jiang Che and Ah Long found the place bustling with so-called elites from various circles.

“Heh heh…” Jiang Che chuckled, “It seems this Wang Shao has grand ambitions.” He noticed a young man in his early twenties, holding a glass of wine and mingling with various dignitaries.

Ah Long had briefed him earlier about Wang Shao, who, despite being the eldest son of the Wang family, had several brothers. Clearly, he was trying to win people over to secure his position as the future head of one of Linjiang City’s top families.

Gaining the approval of his own family was necessary, but sometimes external opinions mattered too.

While Wang Shao was busy toasting around, his eyes lit up upon noticing Jiang Che’s arrival and he hurried over.

While others might not know Jiang Che’s identity, Wang Shao was well aware of him as the sole heir to Linjiang City’s most mysterious Jiang family.
