【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the villain choice and obtaining the divine skill: Heart-Reading】
Jiang Che pursed his lips and smiled; another good thing had come his way.
"Merge skill."
The next second, Jiang Che clearly felt the difference in himself.
Whenever he wanted, he could hear the thoughts of all females within a 50-meter radius. As for men's thoughts? He couldn't hear those.
Otherwise, why would it be called Heart-Reading?
Jiang Che rolled down his car window, just in time to wait at a red light.
A convertible Ferrari pulled up alongside him.
The driver was a fiery redhead in a sexy outfit, who, upon seeing Jiang Che, let out a flirty whistle.
"Hey there, handsome!"
Jiang Che silently activated Heart-Reading.
【Tsk tsk tsk, this pretty boy is so handsome. I really want to scrub him with a steel wool...】
Jiang Che: "......"
Terrifying. Even more twisted than me.
Indeed, when women go crazy, there's no room for men.
"Little handsome guy... tonight, how about...?"
"Goodbye!"
Jiang Che stepped on the gas and sped away.
Then, he turned Heart-Reading up to its maximum.
【Really, is that all you've got? If it's just this... I might as well get out of the car now.】
【I'm so hungry, when can I go home to eat?】
【Oh my god, that's a Maybach ahead. I need to stay far away from it; if I crash into it, I'd be sold off and still couldn't afford the damage.】
【Hmph, this bootlicking poor guy wants to chase me? Not a chance.】
The myriad of thoughts left Jiang Che feeling overwhelmed.
He quickly turned off Heart-Reading.
......
At the Ye household.
Ye Mengyao had just returned from a hospital check-up, with no major issues found.
This relieved everyone.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere in the Ye family was somewhat strange.
"Mengyao, what do you feel about Jiang Che?"
Ye Changkong took the lead in speaking. Previously, he had only seen Jiang Che as a playboy.
Although Jiang Che came from a family of equal status to theirs, Ye Changkong, being a severe daughter-con, felt that no one was good enough for his daughter.
But now, his impression of Jiang Che had drastically changed!
When Jiang Che's name was mentioned, Ye Mengyao's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.
"Mom and Dad... I think I've fallen for him."
Ye Mengyao said this while blushing, "And I don't mind his touch."
Lin Xue, sitting beside her, sighed; things were getting complicated now!
"Mengyao, you've rejected Jiang Che multiple times before... you might have broken his heart. So, my dear... if you want to regain his favor, it might be quite difficult."
Lin Xue's words made Ye Mengyao bite her lip tightly.
These days, how could she not know?
Jiang Che now avoided any unnecessary contact with her. How could she possibly win him back?
Let alone regaining his favor.
Not to mention that policewoman named Wang Yanran... she was like a thorn stuck in her heart.
Every time she thought about that woman's stunning figure, she couldn't help but feel inferior.
"My dear daughter, they say that while men pursuing women is like crossing a mountain, women pursuing men is like crossing a veil. If you let go of your pride as a young lady... you'll definitely win Jiang Che's favor. What do you think?"
Hearing her mother's words, Ye Mengyao's expression grew more resolute.
Her mother was right; she had always presented herself to Jiang Che with the attitude of a young lady.
The girl clenched her fists tightly, as if she had made a firm decision.
Just at that moment, a phone call came in.
"A call from the hospital?"
Ye Changkong answered and, after hearing the other side, his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of anger flashing in them.
"This garbage, what kind of expert is he? I see him as nothing but trash!"
Ye Changkong was furious, cursing out loud.
"What's wrong, honey? What happened?"
"It's nothing. I had secretly hired a bodyguard for Mengyao, but this guy turned out to be so incompetent. When Mengyao was in danger, he didn't even notice. Not only was he useless... but he also got beaten up by the kidnappers."
Ye Mengyao blinked her big eyes, "A bodyguard? Dad, when did you hire a bodyguard for me? I didn't know about it."
It's that Lin Yu from your class. I used some connections to hire him, they said he was a big expert, capable of protecting your safety... but it turns out he's just a waste, causing trouble but unable to protect your safety.
"What? Lin Yu? Dad, why did you hire that guy?" When Lin Yu's name was mentioned, Ye Mengyao's eyes flashed with disgust. That guy's gaze at her was utterly shameless.
"Ah... let's not talk about these things for now. I'll fire Lin Yu tomorrow."
As for those "behind the scenes" people behind Mengyao's kidnapping, do they think I'm a pushover?
Being a billionaire CEO with a nearly trillion-dollar market cap, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. How could he not retaliate after suffering such a big loss?
......
Jiang Che was unaware that Ye Mengyao was already preparing to chase after him.
Even if he knew... he would probably just chuckle.
From the beginning, the initiative had always been in his hands. Dealing with such a proud young lady... Jiang Che was well-experienced.
You used to look down on me, but now I make you regret it. Of course, the main reason Ye Mengyao's mindset had changed was... Jiang Che was simply too handsome!
...
As soon as Jiang Che got home, his mother, Jiang Yunli, gave him a big hug.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yunli were naturally very worried about Jiang Che's safety, especially Jiang Yunli... who cried "Ying Ying Ying" while hugging him.
At thirty years old, she looked no different from a little girl.
"I only have you, my one and only precious son, if anything happened to you..."
Jiang Che felt a bit embarrassed and wiped his forehead, finding an excuse to slip away.
Having such a mother was truly something else.
If it weren't for the villain script, he would have thought he had become the male lead of a Korean manga.
Cough cough... One can be perverted, but not born perverted!
"I wonder how that Lin Yu is doing. By my calculations, he should be waking up by now."
Jiang Che murmured to himself.

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
