After Shen Yuqing left, the villagers no longer paid attention to Jiang Chen and his mother. They all thought Jiang Chen was just bluffing and began to discuss the family records and the renovation of the ancestral hall.

Wutong County, Cangyu Town.

Shen Yuqing drove all the way to the town's bank.

"Hello, what service would you like to perform?" The bank receptionist asked with a smile, looking at Shen Yuqing.

Shen Yuqing took out Jiang Chen's Black Gold Card and passed it over, "I want to withdraw money. Check if there's money in this card."

"Okay, you…."

As the receptionist took the bank card, they were about to ask Shen Yuqing to wait a moment, but upon seeing the bank card Shen Yuqing handed over, they froze on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yuqing frowned, looking at the receptionist, starting to feel dubious in his heart. Could it be that the wretch Jiang Chen's bank card had some problem? I've never seen such a dark and inconspicuous bank card.

The receptionist shuddered violently and hurriedly said with respect, "Please wait a moment, sir."

Thump thump thump!

The receptionist turned around and ran towards the bank's office area at high speed. Shen Yuqing was stunned, not knowing what had happened.

Before long, the receptionist returned with a middle-aged man, "Hello sir, I'm the bank president, Xu Zhibo. It's a pleasure to serve you!"

"President Xu?!" Shen Yuqing was dumbfounded. In his view, the president of the town's bank was a big deal, and he couldn't believe that the president himself had come out to serve him, which Shen Yuqing found rather unbelievable.

What was going on? Why would President Xu come out himself?

When Shen Yuqing saw President Xu holding the bank card he had given to the receptionist, his heart skipped a beat!

Could it be… because of this bank card?

Shen Yuqing couldn't believe it and felt his heart lift, secretly swallowing a gulp of saliva.

He had never shown Jiang Chen any kindness, and if President Xu was personally attending to him because of this card… Shen Yuqing started to panic!

President Xu wore a full smile, "Sir, what service would you like to perform?"

"I, I… how much money is in this card?" Shen Yuqing asked somewhat nervously.

"Please follow me. I'll print the transaction statement for you," Xu Zhibo said as he smiled and gestured towards the VIP room next to them.

Shen Yuqing followed Xu Zhibo to the VIP room, growing more anxious in his heart.

After a while, Xu Zhibo walked over with a list of transactions, his eyes filled with shock. He took a deep breath and bowed even more respectfully than before, "Sir, here is your account statement."

Shen Yuqing reached out to take it and suddenly felt his heart wrench hard, his body trembling, his legs going weak. If he hadn't been sitting down, he would have probably fallen to the floor!

How many zeros are there?

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten-thousand…

No, that's not right, one, ten, hundred…

Still not right, one…

After counting several times, Shen Yuqing was too shocked to calmly figure the amount of money on the balance sheet.

He was truly terrified!

"President, I… I'd like to withdraw five million!" Shen Yuqing's voice faltered.

President Xu paused for a moment, then said with a bitter smile, "Sir, please don't joke. How could our small-town bank possibly have that much cash on hand!"

"Oh."

Shen Yuqing nodded his head, walking out of the bank somewhat dazed.

His focus was no longer on the five million. The words to withdraw money had just been a reflex — now he was deeply shaken, and with that came an immense fear.

That Jiang Chen has so much money, who on earth is he?!

No, no matter who he is, he's not someone I can afford to provoke!

Because he was very clear that the connections and resources that came with so much capital were extremely daunting.

How could he, a mere son of a village chief, afford to provoke such a person?

Though Shen Yuqing might act like a king in the village, in a big city, he was just a bumpkin, still one that could be stomped to death!

So, Shen Yuqing was truly frightened!

"Smack! Smack!"

Shen Yuqing broke into a cold sweat, slapped himself twice to calm down, then turned around, got into the car, and rushed back to the village.

Upon arriving in the village, Shen Yuqing drove straight to the ancestral hall.

"Yu Qing, how did it go? Did you get the money?" Shen Mingcheng, seeing Shen Yuqing's empty hands, glanced at Jiang Chen with a hint of mockery and shouted deliberately loud.

Shen Yuqing hadn't recovered from the shock and just stupidly shook his head.

"Haha... Jiang Chen, aren't you just acting tough? Where's the money? I knew it, you're all talk!" Shen Mingcheng burst into laughter: "Trash will always be trash, just bragging all the time. You even claimed to have donated it all. Who do you think you are?"

"Exactly, always bragging and acting so arrogant!"

"What kind of person is this! He thought he was something special after marrying into our village and now comes back to show off? Does he think we don't know about bank cards? He must be embarrassed now, right?"

"Look at the way he dresses; how could he possibly have five million? He's just talking nonsense!"

A crowd of villagers joined in the laughter, looking down on those who pretended to be rich.

Jiang Chen frowned and reached out to Shen Yuqing, saying in a deep voice, "Give me the card, I'll withdraw it myself!"

Seeing Jiang Chen at this moment, Shen Yuqing shivered suddenly and hurriedly handed the Black Gold Card to Jiang Chen with both hands respectfully.

"Haha, going to withdraw it yourself, are you planning to rob the bank?"

"Exactly, if there's no money in the card, there's no money; is this your plan to make a getaway?"

"Hehe, acting like that and yet saying he disdains to join our family tree. You, you're not even worthy of being written into our family tree!"

"Shen Xiaoqin used to be quite honest. How did she end up having such a son? It really is like they say, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, unreliable!"

The group of villagers failed to notice anything odd about Shen Yuqing and continued mocking Jiang Chen.

Shen Mingcheng grabbed his son by the hand and dragged him in front of Jiang Chen, pointing and yelling, "Apologize to my son right now, then kneel in front of the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, or else I'll have your mother's name removed from our family tree!"

"Ah, no, no need..." It was only then that Shen Yuqing finally began to react, stuttering his words.

"No need for what? Son, there's no need to be polite at this time, he should apologize," Shen Mingcheng thought his son was merely being falsely modest and shouted even louder.

Shen Yuqing was about to explode with rage, turning his head to glare fiercely at his own father.

My father, you're trying to kill me!

Dammit, if you weren't my dad, I would slap you!

Can we afford to offend someone with so much money?

Unable to explain the situation to his father on the spot, Shen Yuqing had no choice but to turn back to Jiang Chen, frantically waving his hands: "No need, really no need for apologies, Aunt Shen can be listed in the family tree, she can!"

Shen Mingcheng was stunned, looked at Shen Yuqing, and thought to himself that his son was trying to appear magnanimous in front of all the villagers, but this was too much.

So, ignoring Shen Yuqing's words, he turned back to Jiang Chen and shouted loudly, "Did you hear what I said? My son is being very polite, but you, a wild brat, dared to hit my son, kneel down and apologize to my son now!"

"Is that so?" Jiang Chen's expression became even icier, his eyes sweeping across the faces of Shen Mingcheng and his son like blades.

"Thump!"

Shen Yuqing couldn't hold it in any longer!

Seeing that he couldn't make himself understood, a mix of fear, anxiety, panic, and impatience... led him to completely collapse and he knelt down before Jiang Chen:

"Jiang Chen, I'm sorry, so sorry... I was wrong, I shouldn't have provoked you, please forgive me!"
