Chapter 171: A Flood Rushes Into the Dragon King’s Temple, the God of War Returns

    In the master bedroom on the second floor of Crouching Dragon Villa.

    “System, open the mysterious treasure chest.”

    “Ding, opening the mysterious treasure chest...”

    “Congratulations, host, you have received a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes.”

    Seeing the reward, Jiang Che’s face darkened, completely speechless. Opening treasure chests is like a lottery; whether you get something good depends entirely on luck.

    As if he couldn’t afford to buy Zhonghua cigarettes with his vast wealth?

    Grumbling about the stupid system, Jiang Che went straight to sleep.

    ............

    The next morning, early.

    Jiang Che, still in a deep sleep, was woken up by the ringing of his phone. Groggily opening his eyes, Jiang Che saw that it was a call from his mother, Su Shanshan.

    Yawning, Jiang Che answered the call, “Hello, Mom, what’s up?”

    “Someone from Glory Entertainment called me asking about Song Tao. They said he went to see you yesterday and hasn’t returned since. They wanted me to ask you where he is now.”

    “Glory Entertainment?” Jiang Che was slightly surprised, not expecting them to act so quickly.

    He remembered Song Tao mentioning them yesterday but didn’t pay much attention. It seemed Glory Entertainment had quite a significant background.

    Otherwise, they wouldn’t have directly called his mother, and she wouldn’t have taken it seriously.

    “Whose company is Glory Entertainment?” Jiang Che asked curiously, thinking that for his mother to personally call him, Glory Entertainment must have a powerful backer.

    “It’s your grandfather’s company, which is why I’m asking you.” Hearing his mother’s words, Jiang Che was both amused and exasperated. It turned out to be his grandfather’s company all along.

    “I’ve already killed Song Tao.” Jiang Che didn’t hide anything, directly confessing.

    “You killed him?” Su Shanshan was momentarily stunned, not expecting this result. But she didn’t say much, as it wasn’t a big deal to her.

    Xiao family villa, in the living room.

    Upon learning that Jiang Che was coming, the Xiao family of three waited in the living room.

    Xiao Qingshan’s face was full of tension. Although he had met Jiang Che a few times, they were not familiar.

    He couldn’t figure out whether Jiang Che’s visit was to hold them accountable since Jiang Che hadn’t done anything to Xiao Qingge a few days ago.

    “Dad, you don’t need to be so nervous. Young Master Jiang is very easygoing.” Seeing her father’s extreme nervousness, Xiao Qingge couldn’t help but smile wryly.

    But she understood his feelings. She was just as nervous the first time she met Jiang Che. She was afraid that saying the wrong thing might cause Jiang Che to vent his anger on the entire Xiao family.

    “Master, Young Master Jiang has arrived at the door.” A butler walked up to Xiao Qingshan and said respectfully.

    “Huff...”

    “Let’s go welcome Young Master Jiang together.” Xiao Qingshan stood up from the sofa, took a deep breath, glanced at Xiao Qingge and her mother, then walked out of the living room, followed closely by Xiao Qingge and her mother.

    “Master Xiao, sorry for the sudden visit...” Jiang Che entered from the doorway, followed by Uncle Fu and Ah Long. He wore a warm smile, appearing very approachable.

    “Young Master Jiang’s visit truly brings glory to our humble abode. It’s my honor to have you here, Young Master Jiang.”

    “Master Xiao, you flatter me. I’ve long admired you.” After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Qingshan invited Jiang Che into the living room.

    Once everyone was seated, Jiang Che took some gifts from Uncle Fu and placed them on the table.

    “These are Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao tea leaves, a gift for Master Xiao. I hope you don’t mind.” Jiang Che said with a smile. He understood the importance of reciprocating gifts.

    It was also his first visit to the Xiao family, so it was only polite to bring some gifts. Although he was almost tired of drinking Dahongpao tea, it was still a great gift for Xiao Qingshan.

    This tea was extremely valuable, usually reserved for high-ranking officials. Thanks to his father’s connections, the Jiang family had a large supply of it.

    “Young Master Jiang, this is too precious.” Although tempted, Xiao Qingshan declined. This was something he could never have dreamed of.

    “Please accept it, Master Xiao. It’s a token of my appreciation.” Jiang Che smiled as he spoke, once again handing the tea leaves to Xiao Qingshan.

    “Well... alright.” Xiao Qingshan did not refuse any further. If he continued to refuse, it would be a slap in Jiang Che’s face.

    Although Jiang Che spoke politely, Xiao Qingshan wouldn’t dare to offend him even if he had a hundred times more courage.
