Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 253: Brother, Do You Like That Sister Gu Menghan?

In a special care ward of a hospital in Tianhai City.

Tang Tianlong lay on the hospital bed, his right arm wrapped in layers of white bandages. His face was a bit pale, and his lips were somewhat dry.

It didn’t take long for Tang Tianlong to slowly open his eyes. He looked up at the ceiling, his face showing a hint of confusion.

His memory still lingered on the scene where he was injured by Jiang Che at the banquet.

“Where am I?” Tang Tianlong murmured weakly, trying to struggle to get up from the bed.

However, as soon as he moved, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, the intense pain from his arm nearly causing him to faint again.

“Young Master, you are awake.” A bodyguard standing by the bed, seeing Tang Tianlong slowly waking up, showed a look of joy.

“Where am I?” Tang Tianlong frowned, forcibly enduring the pain, and asked.

“After you fainted at Qingteng Villa yesterday, the people from the five major families in Tianhai City sent you here.”

“The doctor said your arm is not seriously injured, but you need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover from excessive blood loss.”

Hearing the bodyguard’s words, Tang Tianlong fell silent and quietly opened the task page of his system.

The task [Obtain the Mining Rights] was marked with two glaring words: Task Failed.

Tang Tianlong’s face turned extremely grim. If he could have a share in the mining rights, even if it was just a small portion, he would have successfully completed the system task and received the system’s reward.

By then, he would be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Man and Heaven realm with the pills rewarded by the system.

But now, it was too late to say anything; his task had already failed.

“Jiang Che!” Tang Tianlong’s eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.

He couldn’t understand why he was targeted by Jiang Che; he couldn’t remember ever offending him. Not only did this guy prevent him from completing the system task, but he also severely injured him.

Having crossed over for three years, he had never suffered such humiliation. Involuntarily, Tang Tianlong’s heart filled with resentment towards Jiang Che.

“Jiang Che! Today’s humiliation, I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!” Tang Tianlong was agitated. Every time he thought of the mocking eyes at Qingteng Villa, he felt a stifling pressure in his chest that he couldn’t release.

In his agitation, Tang Tianlong suddenly spat out a mouthful of red blood, his face turning even paler.

“Young Master…”

…………

At the International Hotel in Tianhai City, in a certain presidential suite.

It was late in the morning when Jiang Che finally got up from bed. After freshening up, he was about to go downstairs for a meal when the doorbell rang.

Jiang Che walked over and opened the door, seeing Jiang Yun’er carrying two lunch boxes as she walked in.

“Brother, it’s time to eat.” Jiang Yun’er said with a cheerful smile, walking over to the table with her slender legs wrapped in white stockings and placing the lunch boxes on it.

She had just gone downstairs to buy some local snacks from Tianhai City. After putting down his toiletries, Jiang Che also sat down next to Jiang Yun’er and started eating with her.

“Brother, what are we going to do these days?” After taking a bite of food, Jiang Yun’er looked up curiously at Jiang Che and asked.

She knew Jiang Che had come to Tianhai City for the mining rights. Now that Jiang Che had gained the upper hand from the major families, the matter was more or less settled.

Next, it was just a matter of finding people to mine and handling the paperwork, which didn’t require Jiang Che’s personal attention.

“Nothing much, we’ll go back after the mining matter is settled. In the next few days, those families should still come to visit me, and there might be a few more banquets.” Jiang Che said, taking a sip of rib soup. He wouldn’t leave Tianhai City until he dealt with Tang Tianlong.

And Ji Chen wouldn’t return for another twenty days, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

“Alright~” Hearing Jiang Che’s answer, Jiang Yun’er’s little face fell.

Since Jiang Che would be drinking with those people, he wouldn’t have much time to spend with her. This made the little girl feel a bit unhappy, as such times alone with Jiang Che were rare.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make time to be with you these days.” As if seeing through the little girl’s unhappiness, Jiang Che said with a smile.

“Hehe, brother is so good.” Jiang Yun’er giggled, her milky white face once again showing a smile.

“Brother, do you like that sister named Gu Menghan?” For some reason, Jiang Yun’er’s smile faded, and she looked at Jiang Che with a bit of resentment. Her expression was like a little wife who had been abandoned.

“Why do you ask?” Seeing Jiang Yun’er change her expression so quickly, Jiang Che asked with a wry smile.

Although Gu Menghan was indeed very beautiful, and her cold demeanor could easily stir up a desire to conquer, had he shown it that obviously? It wasn’t love; at most, it was lust.

“I don’t know, just a feeling. Beautiful women never have a good end when they meet you, brother.” Jiang Yun’er said with a look of disdain, fully aware of Jiang Che’s lecherous nature.

None of her senior sisters escaped his clutches, and with Gu Menghan’s beauty, how could Jiang Che let her go easily?

“Don’t think nonsense, I’m not that kind of person!” Jiang Che said righteously, looking incredibly innocent.

“Really?” Jiang Yun’er looked at Jiang Che with suspicion. She didn’t believe his words.

If Gu Menghan weren’t so beautiful, Jiang Che wouldn’t even glance at her. But given her looks, Jiang Yun’er didn’t believe Jiang Che’s words. This guy probably couldn’t wait to go all the way!

“Of course, it’s true. Don’t overthink, eat your food.” Jiang Che patted the little girl’s head, speaking with some annoyance.

“Alright~” Jiang Yun’er didn’t say much more and started eating obediently.

She was just asking casually; if Jiang Che really had such thoughts, she couldn’t change anything. She was quite open-minded. As long as he cared about her, she didn’t mind how many women Jiang Che had. After all, he would tire himself out eventually and settle down.

After lunch, Jiang Che planned to take Jiang Yun’er out for a walk. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Uncle Fu walking down the corridor towards him.

“Uncle Fu, what is it?” Jiang Che asked curiously. Uncle Fu wouldn’t come to him without a reason.

“Young Master, the young masters of the Su and Chu families have come to see you. They said they have something to discuss and are waiting for you in the lobby on the sixth floor.”

“They came so quickly?” Jiang Che was surprised. He had expected them to come, but not so soon.

“I understand. I’ll go see them now. By the way, does the Jiang family have a villa in Tianhai City?” After taking a few steps, Jiang Che turned back and asked. Staying in the hotel was comfortable, but he preferred a villa.

“Yes, we have Villa No. 1 in Penghu Bay, Villa No. 99 in Tianxiang Garden, and Villa No. 36 in Fengming Pavilion.” Uncle Fu replied respectfully.

The Jiang family’s properties were spread across the entire Jiuzhou country, with villas in almost every city, although they were usually unoccupied.

“Make arrangements. I’ll move to Villa No. 1 in Penghu Bay tonight.” Leaving these words, Jiang Che took Jiang Yun’er’s hand and left.

“Understood, Young Master.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
