Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 230: The Mysterious Mines in Tianhai City, Su Shanshan’s Thoughts

The next morning, at Crouching Dragon Villa, in Jiang Che’s bedroom.

“You bastard, I’m going to kill you!” Alice’s expression was extremely cold as she looked at Jiang Che lying in bed.

She couldn’t believe that her assassination attempt had failed again, with the same result as the previous two times…

“What, are you going to murder your husband?” Jiang Che looked at Alice with a teasing expression. He had to admit, after having the same kind of meal repeatedly, a change in taste was quite refreshing.

Alice didn’t say anything more. She got out of bed, walked to the window, and jumped out, quickly disappearing without a trace.

She knew that staying here was only humiliating herself. It was better to go back and train harder. Once her cultivation improves, she would come back to seek revenge on Jiang Che!

Jiang Che didn’t stop her and let Alice leave. Anyway, he had nothing to lose. He wasn’t afraid of this woman’s revenge. Even if she had ten more years, she wouldn’t be able to catch up to his pace!

Getting out of bed, Jiang Che washed up and went downstairs. After breakfast, Jiang Che sat on the sofa, pondering his next move.

For now, there was no rush regarding Li Tian. Even though he was a Man and Heaven-level martial artist, after being thoroughly beaten by Jiang Che, he wouldn’t recover anytime soon.

He decided to take advantage of the free time today to visit the Bai family. It had been a while since they signed the contract, and he wanted to check on the progress.

With this thought, Jiang Che got up from the sofa and headed to the garage. He casually picked a Bugatti and left Crouching Dragon Villa.

…

At the Bai family’s mansion, in the living room.

Jiang Che and Bai Chunfeng sat facing each other. Bai Chunfeng had the servants brew some high-quality Longjing tea for Jiang Che and personally poured him a cup.

He knew that Jiang Che enjoyed drinking tea, so he had specifically bought this expensive tea to please him.

“Young Master Jiang, what brings you here today?” Bai Chunfeng asked tentatively, knowing that Jiang Che wouldn’t come to see him without a reason. That wasn’t his style.

“Nothing major, I just wanted to check on the progress of the West City project.” Jiang Che took a sip of the tea and smiled.

“Oh, that.” Bai Chunfeng understood. “I’ve had people survey the terrain and geology over there. If everything checks out, we’ll start laying the foundation and then move on to the actual construction.”

“How long will it take to complete?”

“If everything goes smoothly, two years. At worst, three years.” Bai Chunfeng said thoughtfully.

He knew that the resources were limited, and the workers were the same as before. If they wanted to complete it quickly, they’d have to increase labor costs and invest a lot of money.

Clearly, Bai Chunfeng wasn’t willing to pay out of his own pocket for this. In his opinion, there was no need to rush. Whether it was completed a year earlier or later didn’t matter.

There was no official deadline for completion, and the cost wasn’t a small amount. He wasn’t a fool to waste his money.

“Alright, I understand.” Jiang Che nodded, having a rough idea of the situation.

He knew that such matters couldn’t be rushed, and he wasn’t in a hurry. After chatting with Bai Chunfeng for a bit longer, Jiang Che got up to leave.

He had achieved his purpose for visiting Bai Chunfeng, and he had no interest in chatting with an old man. As he left, Jiang Che glanced meaningfully at the sky above the Bai family’s villa.

It had been half a month since Huang Xiaolong came to do feng shui for the Bai family, and he noticed that the ominous aura around the Bai family had become more intense.

Of course, Bai Chunfeng couldn’t see this himself.

Jiang Che knew that the Bai family would face a calamity soon, and whether they could survive it depended on their own fate.

He had no interest in helping them. He wasn’t the type to meddle in others’ affairs.

…

After leaving the Bai family, Jiang Che drove to the Jiang Corporation. Parking his car outside the building, Jiang Che walked into the towering skyscraper.

His mother called him yesterday, asking him to come by when he had time. She didn’t specify the reason. Since he was free today, Jiang Che decided to drop by.

“Young Master.”

“Hello, Young Master…”

Employees greeted Jiang Che as he passed by. They all recognized the future heir of the Jiang Corporation.

Jiang Che’s expression remained unchanged as he walked straight to the elevator. These people weren’t worth his attention. In the elevator, he pressed the button for the sixteenth floor.

In the CEO’s office on the sixteenth floor, Jiang Che knocked on the door. After receiving permission from his mother, he walked in.

If he were visiting Shen Qingqiu, Xiao Qingge, or Lin Xiyan, he might have walked in without knocking, but he wouldn’t dare do that with his mother.

“You’re here, have a seat.” Seeing Jiang Che, Her originally cold face softened into a smile, and she gestured for him to sit wherever he liked.

“Mom, what’s the matter that you wanted me to come by?” Jiang Che pulled a chair over and sat across from Su Shanshan, looking at her curiously.

He knew his mother’s personality. She wouldn’t have called him over unless it was something important.

“Do you have some time to go to Tianhai City for me?”

“What’s in Tianhai City?” Jiang Che asked, puzzled. He knew that the Jiang family had many businesses in Tianhai City and throughout the country.

But the Jiang Corporation’s main base was in Linjiang City, and the subsidiaries in Tianhai were managed by others.

“According to the reports from our company in Tianhai City, there’s a mine there.”

“Specialists have investigated the site, and there are about 200 tons of mineral resources underground, worth hundreds of billions!”

“A lot of people have their eyes on this gold mine. I’m hoping you can go there and secure a share for us.” She said seriously. With the Jiang family’s influence, this wouldn’t be difficult.

If handled well, it could bring hundreds of billions to the Jiang family! Even Su Shanshan couldn’t refuse such an astronomical amount.
