"Dad, what's going on?" Lü Gang exclaimed in shock.
"The reason they met such an end is precisely because they offended Chen Jie! In his rage, Chen Jie wiped out everyone in the Sorcery Association who opposed him! Do you think Chen Jie would dare to take your life?" Lü Changbu said.
"This, this..." Lü Gang was too stunned to speak.
This time yesterday, he was still embracing women and having a good time.
"Just now, if Chen Jie really wanted to kill you, I would have been powerless. Now do you understand why I disciplined you? Because if Chen Jie is not satisfied, you will have only one path: death!" Lü Gang's lips trembled.
Lü Changbu continued, "An mighty being like Chen Jie can only be befriended, not offended! Do you remember this?"
"Dad, I remember. I will never dare to offend Chen Jie again!" Lü Gang nodded in agreement.
"Also, you need to restrain yourself during this period. If something can be resolved with money, don't come up with any crooked ideas! The provincial capital has been unstable lately! I've not only encountered people from the legendary Shadow Gate, but also some international forces."
...
The group had made a grand show of going to Chen Jie's room, but it all ended without incident. This incident left the hotel management staff dumbfounded. They had assumed that as the parties involved, Chen Jie and Zhang Xinyan would surely be in trouble. However, they had to admit that these people ultimately couldn't do anything to Chen Jie. In fact, the three of them, including Man Niu, even booked a room on Chen Jie's floor, under the guise of protecting Miss Zhang and Chen Jie from harassment. When the hotel staff learned of this, they immediately realized Chen Jie's identity was extraordinary. The owner personally came forward, cleared out all the clients on that floor, and instructed no one to disturb the occupants of that floor.
"Chen Jie, tomorrow, can I really get back my brother's company?" Zhang Xinyan knew that Liu Mei wanted to assassinate her, and now she had an extremely strong desire to reclaim her brother's assets.
Chen Jie comforted her, "Don't worry, with me here, I will help you." Zhang Xinyan nodded. She didn't hold out much hope in her heart. She had actually considered that since Liu Mei could send assassins to kill her, she could also send assassins to kill Liu Mei. But if she did that, she would likely only get half of her brother's fortune. Only by forcing Liu Mei to submit could she prevent her brother's years of hard work from going to waste.
Chen Jie and Zhang Xinyan had dinner, and then Chen Jie asked Zhang Xinyan to wait at the hotel alone. Chen Jie would come to find her early tomorrow morning. He knew that Man Niu and the others had not left the hotel yet, so he was not worried about Zhang Xinyan's safety. Although Zhang Xinyan was reluctant, she didn't say anything and let Chen Jie leave. Moreover, her parents would arrive in the provincial capital tonight.
After leaving the hotel, Chen Jie did not go to Wang Xiaoyan's place. Instead, he took out some information written by Liu Feilong. Chen Jie had already prepared a plan for how to make Zhang Xinyan the chairman and president of Zhang Cheng's company. For him, it was simple: he just needed to talk to a few key personnel one by one.
"Wife, tomorrow I will get a large sum of money. Then, I will sell all my shares in the company, and you and our son can live the rest of your lives in comfort!" In a villa, a man with thinning hair said weakly to his wife. The man was named Gao Yan and was a major shareholder of Zhang's Enterprise. Although he appeared magnificent on the surface, spending money like water, with young women constantly by his side, living a life of pleasure, he was actually still in love with the wife who had accompanied him all the way. While his extramarital affairs were plentiful, the woman by his side was the one he considered his closest kin. However, six months ago, Gao Yan was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Despite possessing a vast empire, he had no fortune to enjoy it. What was even harder for him to accept was that his wife was intellectually disabled, and his son was only a teenager. He knew that with his immense wealth, many relatives would undoubtedly try to get their hands on his inheritance after his death. Even if he transferred all his assets to his wife, his intellectually disabled wife likely wouldn't be able to protect them. He had enjoyed all the pleasures he could in life and had no regrets about dying, except for his wife and son, whom he couldn't stop worrying about.
"Heh heh..." Gao Yan's wife chuckled foolishly, not responding.
"Gao Yan!" Inside the room, as the door did not open, a dark shadow appeared. When he saw Chen Jie's figure, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"
"I'm here to see your wife!" Chen Jie grabbed Gao Yan's wife and pulled her aside.
"Ah! You damned wretch, let go of my wife! What are you going to do to her!" Gao Yan was shocked and tried to stop Chen Jie. But with a wave of Chen Jie's hand, Gao Yan was pushed aside by an invisible force field. Then, Chen Jie took out the silver needles he had bought and began to insert them one by one into Gao Yan's wife's head.
"No! Wife! You brat, stop!" Gao Yan glared at Chen Jie furiously, but he was helpless. Chen Jie continued his work, and as wisps of spiritual energy flowed through the silver needles, Gao Yan's wife's head began to turn red.
"Don't make a fuss. I'm treating your wife," Chen Jie said calmly.
"Treating her?" Gao Yan became furious, "Is this how you sneak into someone's room to treat them? My wife doesn't need you to treat her. Let her go! If you dare to take advantage of her, I'll take your life!"
"You'll know soon enough." Gao Yan's eyes were practically bulging with anger. He stared fixedly at Chen Jie. At this moment, Chen Jie waved his hand again, and the silver needles on Gao Yan's wife's head flew out in unison, returning to Chen Jie's hand. Seeing this, Gao Yan's pupils contracted. With this single move, he knew Chen Jie was no ordinary person. The next second, Gao Yan's wife suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Gao Yan, "Husband? What are you doing?"
"A Zhen?" Gao Yan was stunned, then hesitantly called out.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Seeing that she was next to Chen Jie, A Zhen quickly pushed Chen Jie away and ran to Gao Yan's side. "Husband, who is this?" A Zhen asked, confused.
"A Zhen? You're not foolish anymore?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How am I foolish?" At this moment, A Zhen's expression was no different from that of a normal person. Her eyes were full of clarity. Seeing this, Gao Yan couldn't help but tremble all over, looking at Chen Jie in disbelief. A Zhen, who previously needed to be fed even her meals, had now become a normal person! Incredible! He didn't know how many famous doctors he had consulted for his wife, but none of them had any effect. Yet, with a few simple actions, Chen Jie had restored his wife to normalcy. Chen Jie, with a poker face, looked at Gao Yan. Gao Yan seemed to realize something and asked Chen Jie, "You cured my wife. I will thank you. How much money do you want?"
Chen Jie replied, "I don't want money. I want you to do something for me!"
"What do you want me to do?"
