Chapter 289: The Dragon Has a Reverse Scale; Touch It and You Die!
After all, what he needed most now were antagonist points, and Wang Tianyang could conveniently provide him with some.
“Why, have you heard of this game too?” Shen Qingqiu asked, puzzled by Jiang Che’s strange expression.
Honor of Kings had only been out for a few days. Although Wang Tianyang’s company had paid for some trending spots, Jiang Che had just returned today. How did he know about it so quickly?
She also knew that he rarely played on his phone and didn’t have the habit of browsing short videos. Jiang Che usually learned about major events through word of mouth or by reading newspapers.
“I’ve heard of it, and Wang Tianyang and I are even from the same hometown,” Jiang Che said with a smile, making a somewhat cryptic statement.
“Hometown? What hometown?” Shen Qingqiu was confused, looking at Jiang Che with a blank expression. From what she knew, Wang Tianyang was not a local of Linjiang City. How could he be Jiang Che’s hometown acquaintance?
“Nothing, we knew each other before,” Jiang Che evaded the question vaguely, brushing off Shen Qingqiu’s confusion.
He couldn’t explain it, after all. He couldn’t possibly tell her about the system, could he? The system was his deepest secret, and he wasn’t foolish enough to share it with anyone.
After chatting casually with Shen Qingqiu for a bit and promising to visit her whenever he had time, Jiang Che turned and left.
He planned to meet this Wang Tianyang and see if he could find an opportunity to extract some antagonist points from him. If Wang Tianyang had any cultivation, even better.
He could capture him and let Ji Qingwan absorb his inner strength. Thinking of this, Jiang Che felt a sense of anticipation.
Just as he drove out of Shen Qingqiu’s villa, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was Xiao Qingge calling, he answered without hesitation.
He had already informed her of his return to Linjiang City, so she knew he was back.
“Jiang Che, where are you now? Do you have time?” Xiao Qingge’s slightly resentful voice came through the phone as soon as he answered.
They hadn’t seen each other for almost twenty days, and she missed him dearly. She had been busy with company matters and hadn’t had time to look for him.
Yet he didn’t bother to come to see her either. Knowing he was back from Tianhai City but hadn’t come to visit her made her quite upset.
“I have time. What’s wrong?” Jiang Che asked, puzzled by her apparent annoyance. Wasn’t twenty days apart a short time? Did she miss him that much already?
“Come to my company. Someone has been harassing me. I can’t get rid of him no matter how hard I try. It’s driving me crazy,” Xiao Qingge complained, sounding exasperated.
If she could have handled it herself, she wouldn’t have troubled Jiang Che. But this guy was too annoying, like a persistent piece of gum.
“Wait for me, I’ll be right there.” Hearing Xiao Qingge’s complaint, Jiang Che’s expression turned cold, a menacing aura emanating from him.
Someone dared to harass his woman? No matter who it was, Jiang Che would make him regret it. A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and you die!
These women were his reverse scale, and since someone was foolish enough to provoke him, he would gladly oblige.
Jiang Che floored the gas pedal, and his Bugatti Veyron shot out, heading straight for Xiao Qingge’s company.
At the entrance of Xiao Corporation, Jiang Che parked his car and walked into the office building.
The employees of Xiao Corporation recognized Jiang Che, having seen him visit a few times before. Many employees greeted him with sycophantic smiles as he passed by.
“Hello, Young Master Jiang…”
“Young Master Jiang…”
Jiang Che’s expression was icy. Without sparing them a glance, he walked straight to the elevator and headed for Xiao Qingge’s office on the sixth floor.
In Xiao Qingge’s office, she was busy with paperwork when the door suddenly opened. Her thoughts were interrupted, and she was about to scold the thoughtless employee.
But when she looked up and saw Jiang Che’s familiar face, her expression brightened, and she stood up excitedly.
“Brother Xiao Che, you’re here!”
“You said someone was harassing you? Where is he?” Jiang Che asked coldly, his aura intimidating. Those who knew him well could tell he was on the verge of losing his temper.
“He should be here soon…” Xiao Qingge glanced at her watch, unsure.
For the past few days, the guy had been showing up around lunchtime with a bunch of roses. She wasn’t sure if he would come today.
