The appearance of Jiang Che left many employees of the Qiangsheng Group utterly astonished.
Although 70% of the company's executives were loyal to Jiang Che, the vast majority of the staff had never seen him before. To them, the CEO, Leng Ningqiu, was the face and leader of the company.
Who could have imagined that the true mastermind behind the company was such an impossibly young man?
Though the Qiangsheng Group was still in its early stages, it was clear that the team was filled with exceptional talent. They excelled in investments and finance, ensuring that every venture turned a profit.
The company was thriving, its future bright.
Many of the male employees were particularly familiar with the company's stunning CEO, Leng Ningqiu, a goddess-like figure who seemed utterly out of reach.
So, when they saw the usually cold and aloof Leng Ningqiu acting so submissive and respectful toward this young man, it shattered their hearts.
Little did they know, it wasn't just Leng Ningqiu—every beautiful high-ranking woman in the Qiangsheng Group was loyal to Jiang Che.
No matter how much they secretly admired these women, their affections were futile. These women belonged to Jiang Che alone.
......
When Chen Hao saw his sister, his heart shattered.
"Jiang Che! Let go of my sister!"
He had mentally prepared himself for this moment, knowing that Chen Ningshuang had been forcibly taken by Jiang Che to serve as his maid. But seeing it with his own eyes was a different story.
His heart clenched in pain.
As Chen Ningshuang's older brother, he naturally had no inappropriate feelings toward her—he wasn't into that kind of twisted relationship. But what brother wouldn't be furious seeing his sister taken away by some scoundrel?
Especially when that scoundrel was the very person he despised most.
"Oh? Is Shuang'er your sister?" Jiang Che feigned surprise, then abruptly pulled Chen Ningshuang closer, his grip so tight it made her wince in pain.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she protested, "You're hurting me!"
She struggled, her mind racing with shock.
[Why is this scoundrel so strong? Could he be following the path of physical cultivation?]
But Jiang Che reveled in her frustration and helplessness. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered menacingly,
"Think about Chen Family Village. Think about Chen Hao standing right in front of you. Think about your father."
Chen Ningshuang stopped struggling instantly.
[You scoundrel, you'll get what's coming to you!]
[You'll face divine retribution!]
Jiang Che kept his arm around her waist, turning to face Chen Hao with a smug, taunting smile.
"Well, well, I didn't know Chen Hao was my brother-in-law! My apologies!"
At the mention of "brother-in-law," veins bulged on Chen Hao's forehead.
[Brother-in-law? You damn dog! Get your filthy hands off Shuang'er!]
Chen Hao wasn't blind. Anyone could see the reluctance on Chen Ningshuang's face. She was clearly being coerced, yet no one dared to speak up.
Including Chen Hao. In the past, he would have charged at Jiang Che without a second thought, ready to fight to the death.
But now, knowing that Jiang Che had the backing of the Jiang Family and a grandmaster grandfather, he had learned to swallow his anger and endure.
"Jiang Che, Shuang'er is my sister. Let her go. If you have any issues, take them out on me!" Chen Hao growled through clenched teeth, his fists trembling.
"Brother-in-law—"
Chen Hao's eyes twitched uncontrollably. "Don't call me that! I'm not your brother-in-law!"
Jiang Che smirked. "Why not? Shuang'er is my personal maid now. It won't be long before she becomes my woman. Then you'll officially be my brother-in-law, won't you?"
Jiang Che knew exactly how to push people's buttons, and his words sent both Chen Ningshuang and Chen Hao into a spiral of despair.
[You scoundrel! You've gone too far! I swear I'll take you down with me!]
[Father, Brother, I'm sorry! I can't bear this humiliation any longer!]
Chen Ningshuang's anger boiled over. A surge of terrifying energy erupted from her, accompanied by a gust of wind. She was ready to sacrifice herself to take Jiang Che down.
But then, Jiang Che's devilish voice whispered in her ear.
"Thinking of dying with me? You clearly don't know how my family deals with their enemies."
"Skinning and gutting are just the basics. Ever heard of being boiled alive or branded with hot irons? Your Chen family would beg for death, but it wouldn't come so easily."
The threat worked. Chen Ningshuang immediately calmed down.
Though she doubted the Jiang Family would truly be so cruel, she couldn't take the risk.
A single tear rolled down her cheek.
She had made a mistake. A terrible mistake. She never should have ventured into the mortal world.
"Let go of my sister, you bastard!!!"
Chen Hao couldn't stand by and watch his sister suffer. Driven by rage, he charged forward, no longer able to hold back.
"Winter!"
In an instant, a petite silver figure appeared in front of Chen Hao. Her expression was cold, but the aura she emitted was overwhelmingly powerful.
Chen Hao gasped. "A peak-stage Transformation Realm expert?"
His mind reeled. How could a genius beauty at the peak of the Transformation Realm be serving as a personal bodyguard for a worthless playboy like Jiang Che?
He had severely underestimated the Jiang Family's power.
Jiang Che was thoroughly enjoying himself. Playing the villain was simply too satisfying.
About two minutes later, Jiang Che finally released Chen Ningshuang.
Chen Hao could only glare at him, his eyes filled with impotent rage, as if he wanted to kill Jiang Che on the spot.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Angry, are you? I love seeing you seethe like this!"
Then, as if struck by a thought, Jiang Che recalled a little game he had played with Su Han.
It was a choice between Bai Qiangwei and Gu Lingfei. At the time, Su Han had willingly given up Bai Qiangwei.
Now, Jiang Che wanted to play another game. Chen Hao had a crush on someone, and he also had a sister—though she was his blood sister.
The mischievous young master was eager to stir up more chaos.
