Chen Ningshuang was in a state of panic. She had never imagined... that just half a day after stepping into the mundane world... she would end up in a police station for hitting someone?
During the ride in the police car, she couldn't help but question her life choices!
This couldn't be happening!
Her instincts had never been wrong before. There was no way Jiang Che could have been sent flying by her slap. She had sensed a faint aura of power from that man.
He should at least be a martial artist at the Transform Force level!
Sitting next to Chen Ningshuang, Wang Yanran shot her a cold glare. "Why did you hurt someone?"
Chen Ningshuang remained silent for a moment before answering, "I sensed the aura of a Transform Force-level expert on him, which ignited my fighting spirit. That's why I attacked."
"A Transform Force-level expert? Do you think I'm a fool? How could Jiang Che possibly be a Transform Force-level expert? If you're going to lie, at least make it believable!"
"Do you know that a single slap from you could kill someone? This is premeditated murder!"
Wang Yanran grew angrier the more she thought about it. Just two days ago, she had finalized the engagement with Jiang Che's parents. If something happened to Jiang Che... wouldn't she become a widow before even getting married?
Although Wang Yanran didn't want to admit it, deep down, she already saw herself as Jiang Che's future wife.
After all, since childhood, no other man had ever managed to capture her heart except Jiang Che.
Facing Wang Yanran's accusations, Chen Ningshuang kept her head down, silent.
She knew... she had messed up, but she couldn't understand... why Jiang Che couldn't withstand a single slap from her?
Her sixth sense had never failed her before. Jiang Che definitely wasn't an ordinary person!
Soon, they arrived at the police station.
"Miss Chen, please take a seat. I've already reported this to the Martial Artists Management Bureau. We'll wait for Jiang Che's medical report first—"
Wang Yanran 'escorted' Chen Ningshuang into the police station—well, more like dragged her in!
Chen Ningshuang, a renowned Transform Force-level expert and a prodigy in the martial arts world, was now being led into the station by another woman, powerless to resist!
In front of the police, Chen Ningshuang naturally didn't dare to make any moves. After all, even a Transform Force-level expert might dodge a pistol bullet, but what about submachine guns? Rifles? Sniper rifles?
Decades of experience had taught all martial artists one thing: never try to oppose the state with individual strength, or the outcome would be... well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.
......
Meanwhile.
Jiang Che was lying in a hospital bed.
'Seriously injured.'
Well... okay, just a minor injury.
Actually... scratch that, no injury at all!
Although he had taken that slap head-on, it hadn't caused any real damage. It felt more like a light scratch.
After all... he had the 'Super Regeneration Factor,' an overpowered ability rumored to be on par with Deadpool's.
What did that mean? For Deadpool, regrowing limbs was child's play. Even if his head was pierced or his body cut into pieces, he could still recover completely.
Of course, Jiang Che wasn't about to test the limits of his body, but this regenerative ability was undoubtedly terrifying, serving as his ultimate life-saving skill.
......
Jiang Che was hospitalized.
The news reached Jiang Yunli and Jiang Yuan, and it was like lighting a powder keg!
Jiang Che was their only son, and they doted on him endlessly. How could someone dare to lay a hand on him?
Jiang Yunli immediately dragged Jiang Yuan to the hospital.
When she saw Jiang Che lying in bed, the young mother burst into tears, rushing to his bedside and giving him a tight, loving hug, her maternal affection overflowing.
Jiang Che: "..."
Jiang Yunli sobbed for a while before wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her natural, makeup-free face was tear-streaked, reminding Jiang Che of some high-quality Korean webtoons...
"Son, where are you hurt? Does it hurt?"
Her voice was gentle and soothing.
Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly. Just thinking about Chen Ningshuang made him feel a mix of irritation and curiosity. Her arrogant demeanor during their first encounter... as if she looked down on everything in the world.
A woman like that... deserved a harsh lesson from society!
"Son, who hurt you? Tell Mom... I'll stand up for you."
After confirming that Jiang Che was fine, Jiang Yunli finally relaxed, but her anger quickly flared up again.
Although she was a sheltered housewife with not much worldly experience, her temper was far from mild.
Her father was none other than the pinnacle of martial arts in Dragon Country—the Grandmaster of Heavenly Force!
Jiang Yuan, standing beside her, gently held her hand and spoke calmly.
"We've just found out. It was Chen Ningshuang, the eldest daughter of the Chen martial arts family."
Jiang Yunli frowned. "The Chen family? The one that practices Tai Chi? How dare a second-rate martial arts family lay a hand on my son?"
She was furious, her mind already plotting to tear down the so-called Chen Family Village.
With that thought, she picked up her phone and made a call.
"Dad, what's up? Did you cause trouble again? Why else would you call me? This old man is already halfway buried, I can't take much more!"
The voice on the other end was strong and full of energy.
"Your grandson was beaten! He's in the hospital now!"
Jiang Yunhuang was stunned for a moment, then a wave of rage surged within him. However, he kept his voice low as he asked, "How is Che'er?"
Jiang Yunli glanced at Jiang Che, who was lying perfectly fine in bed. "Seriously injured."
There was a long silence on the other end before Jiang Yunhuang finally spoke. "Who did it?"
"Chen Ningshuang from the Chen martial arts family..."
"Understood."
On the other end, Jiang Yunhuang hung up the phone, his aged eyes burning with fury.
He turned to another elderly man beside him and said, "Shoulu, the Chen family has hurt Che'er. Handle it."
The hunched-back old man nodded. "Understood."
"Also, I'll head to Hangcheng. I want to see Yunli and Che'er in person."
......
Meanwhile, back at the police station, Chen Ningshuang was still unaware that her impulsive action was about to bring disaster upon the entire Chen family.
But she couldn't shake off a growing sense of unease.
"Why... do I feel this sudden dread?"
Chen Ningshuang sat upright in the interrogation room, trying to calm her racing heart by circulating her Tai Chi internal energy.
But it was no use.
Normally, she could enter a meditative state in an instant, but now... even after reciting the calming mantra over a dozen times, she couldn't find peace.
Of course, she wasn't the only one feeling uneasy. Her older brother, Chen Hao, was also on edge.
As a chosen one of fate, Chen Hao's sixth sense was naturally sharp.
He had been lying in the security room, watching a live stream of a beautiful woman and engaging in some 'traditional' activities, when suddenly... things stopped working. At the same time, an inexplicable sense of panic washed over him.
"What... what's going on?"
