Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Brother Chen, Rest Assured, Your Wife, I Will Care for Her

“Miss Qingge, I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation.” Jiang Che’s voice was cold, devoid of the earlier friendliness, clearly angered by the situation.

This made Xiao Qingge’s heart tighten, her expression becoming nervous. She knew Jiang Che was genuinely angry now. Despite his usually easygoing nature, his status meant he couldn’t be deceived by just anyone.

Not flipping out immediately was likely his way of sparing her from too much embarrassment. With these thoughts, Xiao Qingge felt even more guilty. She had deceived him, yet he still considered her feelings.

“You are Jiang Che?” Chen Feng turned his gaze towards Jiang Che, his face darkening. He had overheard Xiao Qingge agreeing with Jiang Che’s opinion. It seemed Qingge didn’t dislike him but was being coerced by this guy.

Jiang Che glanced at him, not bothering to respond. Why ask if you already know?

“System, check his attribute panel.”

Main Character: Chen Feng

Cultivation: Transformation Stage, Late-Stage

Identity: One of the Four Thrones of the Northern Territory

Luck: 15,000

Skills: Advanced Firearm Mastery, Advanced Combat Techniques…

A luck of fifteen thousand?

Jiang Che’s lips curled into a wicked smile. He didn’t expect this guy to have such high fortune. If he could drain all this fortune, it would be enough to advance his cultivation to the mid-stage of Unity of Man and Heaven.

…

“I’m asking you a question! Why aren’t you answering me?” Feeling ignored by Jiang Che, Chen Feng became furious and questioned him angrily.

“Who do you think you are? Just because you ask, I have to answer?” Jiang Che’s tone was arrogant, showing no regard for Chen Feng.

“You…” Chen Feng’s face twitched with anger. He couldn’t believe this rich kid dared to be so arrogant, not taking him, a Northern Throne, seriously!

“Slap!” Before Chen Feng could say more, he was suddenly slapped.

Mother Xiao looked at him disdainfully. “Who do you think you are, daring to be disrespectful to Young Master Jiang?”

Slapping Chen Feng relieved a lot of her pent-up frustration.

“I…” Chen Feng held his aching cheek, looking at Mother Xiao in disbelief. He hadn’t expected her to slap him directly. Did she not care about her face?

“What do you mean, ‘I’? Get these actors out of my house. The Xiao family does not welcome you!”

“Lord Tiansha, let me teach her a lesson!” The middle-aged man beside Chen Feng finally couldn’t bear it anymore, raising his hand to slap Mother Xiao back.

This time, Chen Feng didn’t stop him, implicitly allowing the action. It was inappropriate for him to act directly, but letting his subordinate teach her a lesson was acceptable. She needed to understand that there were always stronger people out there. He was no longer the same Chen family remnant. Now, he wasn’t someone she could mess with.

As the middle-aged man’s hand was about to land, Jiang Che glanced at Fu Bo standing behind him. Fu Bo immediately understood, and with a swift move, he intercepted the attack in front of Mother Xiao.

“Boom!” With a loud noise, the middle-aged man was sent flying by Fu Bo’s palm, landing unconscious outside the living room.

“This…” The Xiao family members were stunned, not expecting this seemingly ordinary old man to possess such terrifying strength.

Xiao Qingshan looked at the kindly smiling Fu Bo and swallowed hard. He had thought Fu Bo was just an ordinary servant of Jiang Che, not realizing he had such formidable power. He had heard of martial artists but didn’t expect Jiang Che’s servant to be so powerful.

“Thank you, Young Master Jiang…” Mother Xiao, regaining her composure, looked at Jiang Che gratefully. If Jiang Che’s man hadn’t intervened, she would have been humiliated.

Chen Feng eyed Fu Bo warily, sensing a terrifying power from him, likely as strong as himself!

“A small effort, just teaching some disrespectful people a lesson.” Jiang Che shook his head, looking disdainfully at Chen Feng as if to say, “Is this all you’ve got?”

“Who are you? Why are you threatening Qingge?” Chen Feng asked cautiously, treating Jiang Che as an enemy. He thought Jiang Che was targeting him, but couldn’t recall ever offending such a person.

“Threatening her?” Jiang Che found it amusing. He lifted Xiao Qingge’s chin, staring into her eyes, “Miss Qingge, tell this fool, did I threaten you?”

“No… Young Master Jiang did not threaten me. Everything was voluntary.” Xiao Qingge, blushing, stammered in response, feeling flustered by Jiang Che’s bold move but too afraid to resist, fearing he might get angry.

“You heard that? I didn’t threaten her.” Jiang Che looked at Chen Feng with disdain, shrugging.

He really hadn’t threatened Xiao Qingge. She had approached him voluntarily, and he wasn’t one to refuse such a beauty. Moreover, Xiao Qingge’s quick compromise was largely thanks to Chen Feng. If he hadn’t suddenly appeared and disrupted things, Xiao Qingge wouldn’t have been so proactive.

Jiang Che understood her motive: she feared his anger might affect the entire Xiao family. For this, Jiang Che could only say, “Well done!”

“Brother Chen, rest assured. Your wife, I will care for her.”

“What are you doing! Take your dirty hands off her!” Seeing Jiang Che’s flirtatious behavior, Chen Feng’s face turned red with anger, feeling utterly humiliated. How dare this guy flirt with his fiancée right in front of him? Did he think Chen Feng was a pushover?

“Chen Feng, get out of the Xiao family immediately!” Before Jiang Che could respond, Xiao Qingge spoke up first. Her eyes were full of disgust as she looked at Chen Feng, hating him to the core.

If it weren’t for his sudden appearance, causing Jiang Che’s displeasure, she wouldn’t have been in this mess. And now he had the audacity to stay in the Xiao family, pretending to defend her? How revolting!

“Ding, Xiao Qingge feels extreme disgust towards Chen Feng, rewarding 2000 villain points.”

“Ding, the host has altered the plot, making it impossible for Xiao Qingge and Chen Feng to reconcile, rewarding 2000 villain points.”

“Ding, Chen Feng’s luck decreases by 2000, rewarding 4000 villain points.”

Hearing the system’s continuous notifications, Jiang Che smiled playfully. He sat back down, watching the drama unfold between Chen Feng and Xiao Qingge, curious to see how Chen Feng would handle this.
