YM778.TV Vol. 1 - Chapter 57 - Can’t Be Him
Frowning, Jiang Zhen stopped and turned around to look at Ning Yechen doubtfully. “Who are you?”
“Me? I am just an ordinary stay-at-home father. My wife will be representing the Qi family in the competition against you,” Ning Yechen said with a smile.
Jiang Zhen looked at Luo Ruying, who was carrying Luo Hongye and standing behind Ning Yechen. He smiled with disdain and said sinisterly, “Is that so? Then I advise you to get your wife to admit defeat! Or else… you might have to kiss her goodbye from now on! Hahaha!”
The Jiang family members behind him laughed without holding back.
The young man in charge of pushing Jiang Li\'s wheelchair even brazenly said to Ruying, “You’re quite the beauty. It’d be a pity if you died. Why don’t you join the Jiang family? If you do, you can have all the riches of the world!
“It makes no sense for a cultivator to marry an ordinary man. Why don’t you marry me instead? I promise to be good to you.”
“Young Master Jiang Gan, you are absolutely right! When the time comes, we can also do some naughty things to her after you’re done!”
“No worries. Once I get bored of her, she\'s yours,” Jiang Gan said generously.
Jiang Gan was the eldest son of Jiang Zhen’s younger brother. Since childhood, he had been hanging out with Jiang Li and acting like a privileged brat.
He was just as lustful and lecherous as Jiang Li!
In fact, his reputation as a pervert was even worse than Jiang Li’s!
At most, Jiang Li simply used his power and influence to coerce women to sleep with him. However, Jiang Gan liked to play with women and then give them to his subordinates.
Even if he married a wife, she would be unable to escape this fate. Once he got bored of her, he would still hand her over to his subordinates.
He claimed he was merely rewarding his subordinates for their hard work!
Countless women couldn’t bear the humiliation and had committed suicide at his hand!
“Are you Jiang Gan?”
When Ning Yechen heard what Jiang Gan said, his eyes turned frosty, and he was overwhelmed with fury.
No one had the guts to humiliate his wife and daughter!
Ning Yechen secretly placed his hands in front so that Luo Ruying wouldn’t see anything from behind. Then he clenched his fists gently.
The next second, Jiang Gan, who had been laughing unscrupulously, suddenly had blood oozing out from all the orifices on his face!
“Huh?” Jiang Gan looked shocked. He reached out to touch the blood flowing out of his nose and eyes. Before he could wrap his mind around it, blood spewed from his mouth. He died instantaneously!
Jiang Gan\'s blood sprayed onto Jiang Li, who was sitting in the wheelchair, scaring him so much he screamed, “AHHH!”
“Heavens, what’s going on?”
The scene startled everyone present.
The Jiang family members retreated in fear.
No one knew what was going on, but Jiang Gan suddenly died!
Luo Ruying had a stern look on her face. She immediately gave Luo Hongye to Ning Yechen and went over to check the situation.
The moment she examined the man, a serious look appeared on her face.
Jiang Gan’s organs had turned into a pulpy mass!
His organs had been instantaneously twisted and mashed!
Who did it? Luo Ruying wondered.
Someone had quietly taken action against Jiang Gan, but she did not detect any spiritual energy fluctuations!
She had no idea who the culprit was!
Luo Ruying looked at the surrounding people, but she did not find anyone suspicious.
“Dear, w-what happened?” Ning Yechen asked with a look of ‘horror’ on his face.
He had to act well.
If his wife became suspicious of him, it would not bode well for him.
At first, he had wanted to do the same to everyone from the Jiang family guilty of mocking Luo Ruying.
But that would make it impossible for the match to continue. It might also make Luo Ruying suspicious.
He could only save the rest of them for another time.
“Someone killed him, but I don’t know who did it,” Luo Ruying said solemnly, feeling deeply worried inside.
If the culprit wanted to harm Ning Yechen, she would not have any way to stop it.
Fortunately, the other party was not out to get her.
The members of the Jiang family were terrified and unable to calm down.
Jiang Zhen walked over to Chen Rou and whispered with lingering fear, “Envoy Chen, who did it?”
Chen Rou shook his head. He was also in shock.
He did not notice anything unusual when it happened.
Chen Rou turned to look at Ning Yechen.
Jiang Gan suddenly died after saying those words.
Could it be…? That’s impossible! There were no spiritual energy fluctuations, and he didn’t make any attack movements. It has to be someone else! Chen Rou thought.
Seeing that Chen Rou did not know who the culprit was either, Jiang Zhen asked worriedly, “Envoy Chen, should we postpone the match?”
“No need. The other party has no intention of attacking again and should have left. The match will commence as scheduled. We should take down Nanli City as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble,” Chen Rou said indifferently with a firm look.
Jiang Zhen did not dare go against Chen Rou’s orders. Even though he was terribly worried, he could only proceed as planned.
The Jiang family quietly took Jiang Gan’s body.
Although the unexpected episode passed, it stayed vividly on everyone’s minds.
Ning Yechen looked at Jiang Zhen and said his piece, “Family Head Jiang, you\'re holding this competition for the rights to control 40% of the commercial streets in the city, right? Why don’t we change the wager?”
“What’s wrong? Are you having cold feet now? Once the contract has been signed, you can\'t turn back!” Jiang Zhen said sarcastically, assuming that the Qi family wanted to go back on their word and asked Ning Yechen to say it.
Ning Yechen shook his head. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Family Head Jiang, you are mistaken. My intentions are quite the opposite. I’d like to increase the wager to include the remaining 20% that the Jiang family possesses!”
“What?! You want us to go all in? What gives you the right to raise such a demand? Does the Qi family think they can use their 40% market control to bet against my 60%? This is the biggest joke I\'ve heard! Why should we do it?” Jiang Zhen sneered disdainfully.
“What if the Qi family ups their stakes by betting the Meridian Recovery Medicine prescription as well?” Ning Yechen asked with a smile.
Jiang Zhen instantly wavered.
Recently, the Qi family had made a killing selling the Meridian Recovery Medicine, making the Jiang family green with envy.
The Jiang family had bought some, but they were unable to reverse engineer the recipe.
If they could get their hands on the prescription and control Nanli City, they would be the only seller of the Meridian Recovery Medicine in the city.
They could set any price they saw fit!
Since the Jiang family’s entire business in Nanli City was at stake, Jiang Zhen had to be cautious.
“Envoy Chen, are you sure you can defeat that woman?” Jiang Zhen whispered in Chen Rou’s ear.
Chen Rou looked at Luo Ruying intently and smiled sinisterly. “Don’t worry. I will win.”
Hearing Chen Rou\'s answer, Jiang Zhen was delighted and immediately agreed to Ning Yechen’s request to increase his bet. “Okay, you’re on!”
Ning Yechen smiled, turned to look at Qi Rongchang, and said awkwardly, “Sorry about doing this without warning. Are you fine with it?”
“As you wish.” Qi Rongchang did not seem upset in the slightest when Ning Yechen one-sidedly changed the wager.
The Qi family had no right to oppose Ning Yechen\'s decision.
Ning Yechen had given the prescription to the Qi family, so he naturally had the right to make this decision.
Moreover, Luo Ruying was helping them fight, so the Qi family was very grateful to her.
“We\'re in!” Qi Rongchang shouted to Jiang Zhen sternly.
The local representative of the Treasures Merchant Alliance, Han Guangzhi, served as a witness to the wager change and watched them make the necessary changes to the contracts and imprint their thumbprints on them.
The local representative of the Treasures Merchant Alliance was the witness and also the referee.
Han Guangzhi put away the revised contracts and announced to the Qi and Jiang families, “In the name of the Treasure Merchant Alliance, you have to fight clean! This competition is not a life-and-death fight, but swords have no eyes. It will end when one party surrenders or dies! If both families have no objections, let us proceed!”Chapter 57: Can’t Be Him
