"Slap, slap—"

Shen Yugang took two slaps from Qiu Liang, one on either cheek, which left him spewing blood from his mouth and nose, screaming incessantly.

But Qiu Liang had no intention of stopping there; instead, he glared at the two stunned martial artists: "What are you two dawdling for? Break his legs for me!"

The two martial artists snapped to attention, realizing they'd be fools not to respond promptly at this point.

Upon hearing the order, they grabbed Shen Yugang with full force and kicked viciously at his knees.

Crack!

"Ah!"

A sharp sound of bone breaking echoed as Shen Yugang collapsed to the ground with a scream, clutching his legs.

"Drag him out, don't taint Mr. Jiang's ears," seeing Jiang Chen frown, Qiu Boyuan called out loudly.

"Yes!" the two martial artists responded eagerly, dragging Shen Yugang out of the courtyard as if afraid they'd be punished by association.

Once the three men entered the villa, Qiu Boyuan offered an apology and then they idly chatted for a while until Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Alright, Chairman Qiu, speak frankly."

"Heh heh," Qiu Boyuan laughed awkwardly: "I won't beat around the bush any longer. I have no sons, only a daughter who has no interest in martial arts, so I treat my nephew as my own son. I brought him here today to personally apologize to Mr. Jiang, and secondly, to seek Mr. Jiang's guidance for him!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Qiu Liang and fell into contemplation.

Yichen was indeed in need of support to expand in Dingjing, with Lin Bingrui covering the sect forces and dream-like memories for the business aspects, but truly, the support of the Martial Alliance was essential on the martial artist front.

The more he interacted with the Martial Alliance, the more Jiang Chen felt the world of martial artists seemed vast. He needed some connections in this area since he had only touched the surface with the Martial Alliance; there were major sects and grand martial arts families yet to engage with. Without a martial artist network, some things would be quite troublesome in the future!

"Okay, tomorrow then. Today, I'll heal your leg for you to move around a bit, and tomorrow I will visit your branch!" Jiang Chen nodded silently, quietly agreeing to the request.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Qiu Liang's eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly. This was a martial arts prodigy admired even by his Semi-Innate uncle—if Jiang Chen offered guidance, his martial skills would surely advance rapidly, skipping many detours.

Jiang Chen stood up, took out the Silver Needles and treated Qiu Liang's broken leg. Qiu Boyuan and his companion thanked him profusely and left the villa.

...

Meanwhile, at a hotel, Jiang Yujie and others who had been sent away by Jiang Chen were drowning their sorrows in alcohol.

"Damn it! I'll make sure Jiang Chen pays the price!" Zhang Feng slammed his hand on the table, roaring with fury.

Yu Jiaming pondered for a moment and gently shook his head: "I'm out; I don't want to fight him anymore!"

"What? Jia Ming, are you scared?" Zhang Feng turned his head and glared at Yu Jiaming with dissatisfaction.

Yu Jiaming glanced at Zhang Feng and said solemnly, "Yichen Company is nearing a hundred billion in capital; with such a massive fund, we are essentially at a complete loss in the business world. Our family only has business ties; I can't compete with him. Discuss amongst yourselves; I'm leaving!"

Having said that, Yu Jiaming stood up and left the hotel private room.

Jiang Yujie watched Yu Jiaming's departing figure, contemplating for a while before whispering, "I'm out too, Yichen…I don't want to be his enemy for now!"

All members of the Jiang Family were currently eyeing Yichen Company, and Jiang Minghui had to act against Jiang Chen covertly and carefully, terrified that Elder Master Jiang would find out. This grievance, due to the Jiang Family's reason, could not be settled yet, not only could it not be settled, but he also had to return quickly to avoid being discovered by Elder Master Jiang!

"Yujie, why are you so timid as well?" Zhang Feng looked at Jiang Yujie, puzzled.

Jiang Yujie shook his head. "I'm not timid. It's just that for some personal reasons, I can't make a move. Alright, I'm leaving now."

He took a couple of steps towards the door, then turned around and whispered, "There's no need to hold back against Jiang Chen! Someone else is also targeting him, but don't ask who it is or investigate it. Just knowing that someone is targeting him is enough!"

Having said this, Jiang Yujie did not linger any longer and left the private room.

Inside the private room, Zhang Feng, Wang Youwei, and Wang Lili were momentarily stunned.

"What does he mean? Someone is targeting Jiang Chen, can't investigate? What is he talking about? If someone is targeting Jiang Chen, wouldn't it be better to find out and join forces against Jiang Chen?" Zhang Feng was full of confusion.

Wang Lili glanced at Zhang Feng and then at Wang Youwei, also somewhat perplexed.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Wang Youwei thought about some recent rumors about Jincheng and felt a sinking feeling in his heart. This Jiang Chen is like a huge vortex now! No, I'm not getting involved either.

"I'm heading back too. My family called me. Zhang Feng, when dealing with Jiang Chen… be careful!" Wang Youwei patted Zhang Feng's shoulder, stood up, and left the private room.

"Damn! A bunch of wimps! If you don't dare, I do! I don't believe I can't handle that damn Jiang Chen!" Zhang Feng cursed angrily.

Suddenly, a ringtone disrupted the silence. Zhang Feng answered the phone impatiently and his eyes lit up when he saw the caller ID. He quickly picked up the call. "Hello, Young Master Lei!"

"Zhang Feng, you're in Dingjing, right?" A frivolous voice came from the earpiece.

"Yes, Young Master Lei, I'm in Dingjing." Zhang Feng had a hunch and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

"Good. Tonight my dad and I are coming to Dingjing and will stay a few days. Let's have dinner together tonight, and these next few days, you show me around Dingjing!"

Zhang Feng's face brightened, and a sinister smile formed at the corner of his mouth. "Sure, I will definitely show Young Master Lei a good time."

"The usual rules, don't forget!" The voice through the phone carried a hint of wickedness.

Zhang Feng glanced at Wang Lili beside him and cracked a slight smile. "Don't worry, Young Master Lei, I'll make sure you're satisfied!"

"Hahaha, I trust you to handle it!"

After hanging up, Zhang Feng turned to Wang Lili, "Lili, tonight, the head of the Jincheng Martial Alliance, Li Yunfeng, and his son Li Lei will come to Dingjing for fun. Come with me to meet Young Master Lei tonight! Young Master Lei has one trait, and that is… he's lascivious!"

"Sure!" Wang Lili's eyes sparkled as she nodded.

She somewhat understood why Zhang Feng was so pleased!

With his lascivious trait, Young Master Lei would definitely not be able to resist Ye Yuwan. Although she herself might very well have to sacrifice herself tonight, Wang Lili didn't care about that. If she could use the opportunity to get close to Li Lei, she'd be more than happy!

As long as Li Lei set his sights on Ye Yuwan, it was destined that he would clash with Jiang Chen. And at that time…

A vengeful smile appeared on Wang Lili's face. She had grown to loathe Jiang Chen and Ye Yuwan thoroughly; as long as they were down on their luck, anything was good for her!
