Jiang Che sat in the back seat of the Maybach, while Dong'er took the driver's seat.
He stared blankly out the window.
A sparrow flew up to the window, left a little dropping, and then flew away.
The little girl blinked her big eyes a couple of times, turned on the windshield wipers, and washed away the fresh dropping, behaving so obediently it was almost unbelievable.
Jiang Che stroked his chin, flipping through Lin Yu's script in his system.
He had encountered three "Sons of Destiny" so far, but only Lin Yu had a script, which meant... Lin Yu was a special one among these chosen ones.
According to the original plot, Wang Yanran's father, Wang Laiyun, was the director of the Public Security Bureau. Recently, Hangcheng had been hit by a series of heinous murders, and the pressure on him was already immense. On top of that, he was framed by political rivals for corruption and bribery.
He was immediately dismissed and put under investigation. Later, it was Lin Yu who helped them overcome this crisis.
But now that Lin Yu was gone, without his protagonist halo, it would be difficult for Wang Yanran's family to recover.
Of course, Jiang Che was now viewing this from a god-like perspective. The framing was full of holes.
It was simply a case of a deputy director wanting to climb the ladder, so he framed Wang Laiyun for corruption. He sent him a painting, claiming it was a fake replica, but little did anyone know the painting had two layers, with the deeper layer being a genuine masterpiece worth millions.
Thus, Wang Laiyun fell from grace. No sooner had he left his position than he was reported.
This kind of plot could only happen in a novel. Anyone who could rise to the position of Public Security Bureau director would naturally tread carefully.
[Ding! The "Chosen Heroine" Wang Yanran's family has fallen from grace. The host has triggered a villainous choice.]
[Choice 1: Do nothing. Wang Yanran loses her heroine halo. Reward: 30 years of internal energy.]
[Choice 2: Take down Deputy Director Qi Lv. Reward: A super butler team.]
[Choice 3: Offer assistance and help Wang Laiyun recover. Wang Yanran's favorability +10. Reward: "Eternal Youth Elixir" recipe.]
Jiang Che: "???"
Another choice triggered?
And looking at the system options... are you trying to make me a good guy?
Jiang Che furrowed his brows slightly. The first option was tempting, offering 30 years of internal energy. If he chose the first option, with 30 years of internal energy, he had a high chance of breaking through to become a grandmaster-level expert!
But clearly, he wouldn't choose this option!
He didn't lack strength, as he was already at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm. Ordinary weaklings were no longer worth his attention. Even if some grandmaster-level old monsters came after him... he could just bring up his background, and which grandmaster wouldn't be afraid?
If anyone dared to touch him... his grandmaster-level grandfather would definitely come after them with a 40-meter-long sword.
A real 40-meter-long sword!
Moreover, Choices 2 and 3 weren't mutually exclusive.
"I'll choose the second and third options."
Mainly because the rewards for the second and third options were too enticing!
[Super Butler Team: A team of 100 people with top-tier butler experience, including maids, gardeners, asset managers... and all of them are women with a beauty score of over 80.]
This butler team was perfect. Jiang Che's home was quite cold and empty. Although he now had quite a few girls around, the house was simply too big—five floors, almost like a palace—so it still felt very empty.
He had long wanted to hire some butlers and servants, but those servants were still outsiders.
Now, the system had directly given him a team, and they were all female puppets with a beauty score of over 80. This was simply delightful.
["Eternal Youth Elixir" Recipe: An essence extracted from various rare Chinese medicinal herbs, mixed in strict proportions. After consumption, it will grant eternal youth.]
Tsk tsk tsk, what a treasure!
Things like Eternal Youth Elixirs, Eternal Youth Pills, Life-Extending Pills, and Disease-Curing Pills... these were all old tropes in wish-fulfillment novels, but weren't these supposed to be things only the protagonist could have?
Who would have thought that a villain like me could also enjoy such treatment!
Jiang Che stretched his limbs and decided to get to work.
Since Deputy Director Qi Lv was capable of framing Wang Laiyun, this guy was definitely not a good person. He would just have Monkey investigate, and they would surely find something.
[Monkey: Don't worry, Young Master Jiang. I'll definitely dig up everything on Qi Lv. I can even find out what he ate last night!]
Monkey was very confident. His hacking skills were among the top five in the world, if not the top three!
...
Monkey worked quickly.
In just over two hours, he had dug up all of Deputy Director Qi Lv's dirty secrets.
To be honest, someone like Qi Lv, a deputy director... his level of confidentiality wasn't very high, so it was relatively easy for Monkey to investigate him.
[Young Master Jiang, here's some dirt on Qi Lv. This old guy hid things pretty well. In his early years, he kept several female college students as mistresses. Later, when one of them got pregnant and threatened him, he had her secretly dealt with...]
[I also found evidence of him framing Public Security Bureau Director Wang Laiyun. I uncovered some chat logs and recordings. Please take a look.]
You could question Monkey's taste and preferences, but you absolutely couldn't question his professional skills!
Someone like him had to be kept firmly under control.
However, Jiang Che wasn't worried about Monkey betraying him. He had already used the system to check Monkey's loyalty.
With a full score of 100, Monkey's loyalty was at 90, which meant he was absolutely incapable of betrayal.
"Monkey, you did well. If there's a new generation of intelligent robots, I'll let you know first."
Monkey's hobby was simple: dolls. If you could satisfy this desire of his, he would be completely loyal to you!
[Hehehe, Young Master Jiang, you really get me!]
After obtaining the evidence, Jiang Che didn't immediately go to Wang Yanran.
Now that he had the upper hand, Wang Yanran was probably consumed with worry... constantly fretting over her father but unable to do anything.
Jiang Che planned to leave her hanging for a few days. When Wang Laiyun's situation was about to reach its conclusion... he would reveal the evidence and create a dramatic reversal!
"My dear Yanran, I sacrificed the chance to become a grandmaster for you! Shouldn't you... repay me by having three children with me?"
Jiang Che lightly licked his lips.
...
Back at the villa.
Qiangwei was wearing a white strappy nightgown, lying on the bed playing a game, her bare legs swinging back and forth.
A white Ragdoll cat was perched on the girl's shoulder, also watching the phone, its tail occasionally flicking. The scene between the girl and the cat was very heartwarming.
"Brother Jiang Che?"
When Qiangwei saw Jiang Che, she was overjoyed. She stopped playing with her phone and immediately sat up on the bed.
"Meow—"
The little Ragdoll on her shoulder let out a pitiful cry as it tumbled off the bed.
Qiangwei's delicate face showed a hint of apology, and then she ran over to Jiang Che.
She threw herself into Jiang Che's arms.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
