Evil Prince 303304

Chapter 303 The flamboyant young master
took out the gem, checked the weather outside, took a bath, and tidied himself up. The injuries he sustained yesterday had completely healed. Although he hadn't gained any effective power from the Divine Wind Technique, it had at least significantly increased his speed. More importantly, he had learned something new: the ability to repair his body using the energy of heaven and earth. This was a basic skill of the Witch Clan. While it wasn't particularly useful in actual combat, it was invaluable in battle. At least he no longer had to worry about being bandaged up like a mummy after every fight, waiting for the Ghost Doctor's treatment.
Lying there unsightly was not only unpleasant but also incredibly uncomfortable. This Witch Clan technique undoubtedly provided him with immense benefits, at least in his opinion. It was more useful than anything else.
After washing up, I checked the time and decided not to go to school. I packed my things and left my villa. Linghu Yan had already gone to school, and the villa was empty. I walked out and strolled through the streets without driving. Although I'm not exactly an anonymous or mediocre person, I don't like being too conspicuous, especially since I was going to Chen Qianqian's place later. Being overly flashy wouldn't hurt, but I just didn't feel comfortable. I'm the kind of person who prefers to stay in the background and doesn't like the feeling of being a target in the open. So , I wouldn't drive there.
Wandering aimlessly through the streets, it was already evening when I finally arrived at Chen Qianqian's house. Although Chen Qianqian's house wasn't like those aristocratic families with hundreds of acres of estate, it wasn't bad either. The villa was about the size of a football field and looked magnificent. When I arrived, the area in front of the house was bustling with cars, with luxury cars parked all around.
Chen Qianqian's home is located in an upscale neighborhood inhabited by wealthy individuals. Her house is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious in the area, and the cars parked in front are naturally plentiful.
"Excuse me, sir, please show me your invitation." At this moment, several men in black suits standing at the entrance blocked my way and said respectfully. Although their tone was respectful, a hint of disdain could be seen in their eyes. After all, the people coming here are all celebrities and gentlemen, all impeccably dressed in suits and driving luxury cars, the least expensive being a Mercedes.
Naturally, I would take care of Chen Qianqian. Through the Bingjian Society, we have been openly and covertly supporting her father, who now possesses assets worth tens of billions and is one of the most famous tycoons in Shanghai. His social circle has also steadily risen. Those present are all celebrities of Shanghai, and some have even come from other parts of the country and abroad. After all, Chen Qianqian's eighteenth birthday is equally important to her father, and I know how deep his love for her is.
Looking at the bustling crowds and the rows of luxury cars, I stood there all alone. Judging by my appearance, I knew I'd walked over. My casual attire, though stylish, consisted entirely of designer pieces—personal items not sold elsewhere. It would be strange if these bodyguards recognized them.
So, I ignored the two snobbish guys in front of me, gave a faint smile, and pulled out the invitation Chen Qianqian had given me yesterday. To be honest, it was a bit of a hassle; I dislike carrying these things. But I had no choice, to avoid being kicked out later. Although… I doubt anyone would dare do that.
"Excuse me, sir, please come in." At this moment, the security guard at the door, seeing the gold-embossed invitation, changed his expression and respectfully said to me. Although he didn't know who I was, he understood one thing: no one invited here was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
I didn't say much after hearing this, just smiled and nodded before going inside. I didn't bother with his rudeness; arguing with such an insignificant person would be beneath my dignity.
When I entered, the area was already packed with people, including many socialites, some of whom I often saw on television. Many of them were accompanied by glamorous young actresses, all dressed to the nines. The wealthy men seemed radiant, and the actresses smiled equally broadly, appearing as if they were a perfect match. But everyone knew what was really going on behind the scenes—it was nothing more than a transaction of money and sex.
As I entered, many people noticed me and cast surprised glances. It's rare for someone to be dressed casually in such an occasion, so many looked at me with curiosity, though some looked down on me. They probably thought someone like me was beneath their dignity, given how self-important these people were.
To be honest, these people all look down on everyone, but their actual status is quite ordinary. Frankly, they're not even worth mentioning. Real wealthy and powerful families wouldn't bother with them; they're not at the level to enter China's top circles. At best, they're just a bunch of nouveau riche. Naturally, no one like them recognizes me.
"Tianxie, you're here!" Chen Qianqian, already dressed in a fiery red evening gown, was anxiously waiting for something. Upon seeing me, she immediately ran over, excitedly greeting me. This immediately caused a murmur among the surrounding people, as if they were speculating about my relationship with Chen Qianqian.
Too lazy to pay attention to those boring people, I smiled and nodded at Chen Qianqian. Just as I was about to say something more, Chen Zihao's voice came over, calling out to Chen Qianqian, "Qianqian, come here for a moment."
He called Chen Qianqian over without saying a word. I didn't know what Chen Zihao meant. I could clearly feel that he saw me, but instead of greeting me, he called Chen Qianqian over, obviously disrespecting me. This made me a little angry. If it weren't for me secretly taking care of her, he wouldn't be where he is today. Now he's doing this, and no matter what the reason, it makes me very unhappy. I feel betrayed, and my anger is raging. However, I still suppressed it because this is not the time to lash out. If I don't even have this much patience and self-control, I don't deserve to be the leader of the Ice Mirror Society. I want to see what kind of show Chen Zihao is putting on today.
"Tianxie... don't be angry. Uncle Chen has been very supportive of Qianqian and you this time. I think something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. Take another look..." Zhou Chen, dressed in a black evening suit and holding a wine glass, had appeared beside me at some point. As Chen Qianqian's best friend, he was naturally among those invited.
Hearing this, my anger subsided. I knew Chen Zihao somewhat. Two years ago, he deeply moved me; otherwise, I wouldn't have secretly helped him. Moreover, it was clear that Chen Zihao wasn't the kind of ungrateful person, nor was he the kind of person who looked down on others. He must have his reasons for doing this.
As expected, Chen Qianqian was called over and stood with a group of people. The most prominent among them was a young man, who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Handsome and elegant, he wore a white evening gown and stood there holding a glass of red wine, chatting and laughing with the group. Chen Qianqian was also pulled over by Chen Zihao. As the group began to talk, I realized I hadn't seen this man before, but judging from the fawning manner of the business elites around him, he was clearly not a simple person.
I didn't know exactly what he did, but it was obvious he was no good. Just the way his lewd gaze kept sweeping over Chen Qianqian told me he was no decent person, at least not a gentleman.
Although Chen Qianqian was unwilling, she couldn't resist being dragged along by her father, so she could only stand there helplessly, making half-hearted conversations with the young man. The young man, however, seemed to enjoy it immensely, talking incessantly. A group of old men and fat men stood nearby, constantly smiling obsequiously, though they themselves didn't know what they were laughing at.
Judging from their expressions, they didn't know what to say except to smile. They just didn't know who this young man was that made these old fogies so afraid, but one thing was certain: he was definitely not a good person.
A short while later, Chen Zihao stayed behind while Chen Qianqian walked over alone. She passed by me, paused briefly, and whispered, "Tianxie, you must restrain yourself today. Don't mess with that person. I'll handle this after today."
After those few words, Chen Zihao hurriedly left, walking to another side to greet a guest warmly. Although I didn't know Chen Zihao's intentions, my mood improved considerably. I was certain that the other person's identity or power frightened Chen Zihao, so he had to do this to protect Chen Qianqian and me. However, there was one thing Chen Zihao hadn't considered… my identity.
Although I was also curious, the guests hadn't all arrived yet, and Chen Qianqian's birthday celebration hadn't begun. I didn't want to cause trouble at this time. An eighteenth birthday is a coming-of-age ceremony, a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I wouldn't cause trouble now. Of course, things might change after the cake was cut.
"Who is that Zhou Chen kid?" Standing there, I smiled, picked up a glass of wine, took a small sip, and asked Zhou Chen, who was standing in front of me, while the other young man was chatting and laughing. If someone had said they liked Chen Qianqian two years ago, I would have wholeheartedly supported them if they were sincere. But things are different now. Two years have given me deep feelings for Chen Qianqian. Although things haven't been officially declared, one thing is certain: anyone who tries to take Chen Qianqian away from me will suffer a terrible fate.
These two years of deep affection have made me consider Chen Qianqian my personal possession, my own exclusive property. No one can take Chen Qianqian from me; otherwise, I will make them wish they were dead.
"That guy, I don't know him well either. I think his name is Jiang Wanmin, the young master of Baoli Group. And his grandfather is supposedly a big shot in the central government, I heard it from my father. Look at all the people around him, they're all trying to curry favor with him, wanting to climb up this tree. I just don't know why he's here. You know, he doesn't seem to care about gatherings of this level. My father was just talking about it. But from what my father said, it seems like he's here for Qianqian. This guy is a playboy, he's done countless bad things because of his family's power and money. But he's always lived in Longjing, I don't know why he suddenly came here... He seems to be one of those princelings in Longjing..." Zhou Chen frowned and said to me after listening to my words. Obviously, she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Wanmin. But I don't think this is her opinion. After all, I know Zhou Chen very well, she's a typical oblivious person, she wouldn't care about such things. I think she probably knows most of it from her father.
Baoli Group is a long-established enterprise in China, one of the top ten conglomerates. It primarily operates in the food and insurance industries, where it is undoubtedly a leading player with substantial assets exceeding 100 billion yuan. Its founder was a powerful figure in the central government; I haven't bothered to find out who it was, but I imagine it was Jiang Wanmin's grandfather.
As for the "Longjing Princelings," they are merely a group of high-ranking officials' children who have formed alliances based on mutual benefit. In my opinion, these guys are nothing but useless heirs to their families' misfortunes. They use family connections to form alliances, help each other, and expand their power to lay the foundation for the future. However, these people are all neutral. After all, the members of the three great families are destined for life from birth, and their families will not have any dealings with them. Although they may seem unapproachable to others, in my eyes they are a bunch of useless people. None of the heirs of the three great families take them seriously. Even their fathers, if they wanted to touch them, we could easily take them down.
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, I nodded and said nothing more. Now that I knew the other party's background, there was nothing to worry about. Since Jiang Wanmin dared to set his sights on Chen Qianqian, I naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
"Okay, I understand," I replied to Zhou Chen indifferently.
Upon hearing my words, Zhou Chen's expression changed immediately. He pulled me and whispered, "Tianxie, what are you planning to do? Don't do anything reckless this time. You can't afford to offend someone like this..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Let's go outside and chat." Hearing this, I gave a cold smile, glanced at Jiang Wanmin, and then said to Zhou Chen. After speaking, I pulled Zhou Chen away. It was free time, and no one cared about anything. Everyone was strolling and chatting. The banquet hadn't started yet, so there was no need to worry about anything else.
"Linzi, how did things go?" A dozen minutes later, Zhou Chen and I were strolling in the back garden of Chen Qianqian's villa. It was quiet here, as everyone else was ahead. We chose this spot, but after a short while, we suddenly heard a cold, weak voice speaking to someone.
The voice belonged to none other than that annoying Jiang Wanmin. Jiang Wanmin stood there expressionless, speaking to a short young man who was about 1.6 meters tall.
"Young Master, that old guy doesn't agree." The short young man shrank back, looking at Jiang Wanmin with some fear.
"What? That old guy dares to refuse me? What did he say?" At this moment, a hint of anger appeared on Jiang Wanmin's previously calm face as he angrily spoke to the short young man in front of him, clearly showing his dissatisfaction.
"Young Master, that old man said he only has one daughter, and he respects her decision. If you really like Chen Qianqian, then go after her yourself. He won't object or stop you; he might even help you. However, he won't force his daughter to do anything she doesn't want to do, so please forgive him..." The short young man, Lin Zi, said in a low voice to Jiang Wanmin.
Seeing a cold glint in Jiang Wanmin's eyes, the short young man immediately flattered him, saying, "Actually, young man, with your status, pursuing a woman is too easy. However, you asked that old bastard Chen Zihao to show his daughter, and he refused. He really doesn't know what's good for him. Do you think we should teach him a lesson or simply make his company disappear from China, bankrupt that old man, and then bring Chen Qianqian to you?"
"Hmph, no need. I'll pursue her myself. Once I've got her, I'll play with her until I'm done. To be honest, that girl is really pretty. I'm quite envious. As for that old bastard Chen Zihao, let's not deal with him for now. We'll teach him a lesson later. There's an election going on right now. If we make any moves now, it will inevitably affect the family. If the old man finds out, neither of us will be in good shape. It's better to wait. Anyway, it's not too late to teach Chen Zihao a lesson later." Jiang Wanmin said calmly, a hint of coldness in his voice.
As for what he meant, I understood. A leadership re-election is a re-election of the chairman and government officials. After all, there's partisan struggle everywhere. Although our three great families never manipulate or participate in leadership re-elections, the struggles among the neutral factions are quite fierce. They are, after all, partisans, and at this time, they will seize upon the enemy's mistakes and attack them relentlessly. Naturally, Jiang Wanmin wouldn't dare to act recklessly at this time, otherwise the consequences would be severe.
Chapter 304: Old is gold.
"Yes, young master, I'll arrange everything for you right away. I'll find out what that girl likes. Don't worry, with your handsome looks and charming demeanor, I bet you'll succeed immediately. I reckon that girl has already taken a liking to you." The short man, upon hearing his master's words, immediately stood there like a lapdog, head bowed, smiling obsequiously.
"Alright, do you even need to tell me? Do you think I can't get the woman I want? Hurry up and get things done for me, and I'll reward you handsomely." Jiang Wanmin stood there cursing at the short man, though despite his insults, he couldn't hide the arrogance on his face.
It has to be said, this guy was incredibly arrogant. Although he was good-looking and had a better teacher, that didn't mean he could have whatever he wanted. This guy was clearly a conceited egomaniac. After the short man left, Jiang Wanmin also took his wine glass and left, heading towards the villa in the center.
"That guy is shameless." Before I could even speak, Zhou Chen, standing next to me, said angrily. Zhou Chen was always so quick to condemn evil. We happened to overhear their conversation, and Zhou Chen was naturally indignant. Moreover, Zhou Chen and Chen Qianqian were friends, which only fueled his anger.
However, after the initial tension subsided, Zhou Chen became somewhat nervous. While undeniably a bit oblivious, Zhou Chen was definitely not stupid. He looked at me anxiously and said, "Tianxie, what should we do about this? That guy has designs on Qianqian, and he seems to have a lot of influence and wants to deal with Uncle Chen. What should we do?"
His eyes were already misty as he spoke.
"What should we do? Hmph, don't worry, leave this to me. He'll see if he has the ability to get Qianqian." I raised an eyebrow and sneered dismissively.
To be honest, I didn't really take this guy seriously.
"You... Tianxie... You're not going to do anything reckless, are you?" Zhou Chen stared at me blankly after hearing my words, and after a long while, she said to me with some worry. However, her worry was not without reason. Over the years, I had always acted like an ordinary person. Apart from being good at fighting and playing ball, I had nothing else to offer. As for my family, both Zhou Chen and Chen Qianqian believed that my family was just a working-class family, just as I had described. And now I was saying that I was going to deal with the young master of Baoli Group, the grandson of a central executive. Such behavior undoubtedly made Zhou Chen worried. She was afraid that I would cause some trouble and not only fail to arrive but also get myself into trouble.
"I know what I'm doing." I smiled slightly and pulled Zhou Chen inside. Although there was still a look of suspicion in Zhou Chen's eyes, she didn't say anything more at this moment.
When we entered the villa's hall, it was already packed with guests. Everyone there was powerful and influential, dressed in suits and accompanied by beautiful women. They all wore smiles and acted like gentlemen, chatting happily in small groups. Some women huddled together, their laughter and chatter clearly indicating they were gossiping about something. At
that moment, I stood there in casual clothes, instantly becoming the center of attention. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me as if I were some alien from Mars. My appearance was indeed quite unique, and it was understandable that people were uncomfortable with it. After all, it's rare to see someone dressed casually at a banquet, especially with my disheveled appearance. I didn't look like a successful businessman; I looked more like a street thug. My sudden appearance there stunned everyone.
Then a group of people started whispering and pointing fingers at me behind my back. But despite their skepticism, not a single one dared to speak up against me. It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that they didn't want to offend Chen Qianqian's father. After all, they were all seasoned businessmen, very shrewd. Since I was invited, I must be a friend of Chen Qianqian or Chen Zihao. They could offend me, but they didn't want to offend Chen Zihao. So, although some were surprised, some were astonished, and even some were dissatisfied, no one was willing to be the first to criticize me.
However, I'm also self-aware; this outfit is indeed a bit... It was inappropriate, but I don't like wearing suits. A perfectly respectable person dressed in a suit and tie looks rather unpleasant, and I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to flatter others, so naturally I ended up dressed like this. So, I found a place to sit, took a glass of red wine, swirled it in my glass, and looked around. Zhou Chen sat down beside me, looking at me with some concern, afraid I might do something rash.
"Everyone...everyone...please be quiet..." Suddenly, the music stopped, and a person who looked like an emcee ran up the spiral staircase and stood in the center, loudly addressing the group of socialites below.
Chen Qianqian's house was very spacious, with a magnificent interior. Besides the large space that could easily accommodate one or two hundred people, what attracted me most was the golden spiral staircase. Located in the center of the hall, it resembled a coiled dragon, winding its way up from the ground floor, connecting the first and third floors. And there stood the emcee.
Undoubtedly, whether these people were true gentlemen or not, they all kept their mouths shut at this moment. Anyone who spoke now was either a fool or someone looking for trouble, and naturally, neither of these types would be present for the time being.
After the emcee calmed the surrounding noise, Chen Zihao stood there, holding a wine glass, with the beautiful Chen Qianqian by his side, and said to the people around him: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today. Today is my daughter Chen Qianqian's eighteenth birthday. After today, she will be an adult. I invited you all here today to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and at the same time... I have an important announcement to make, and I have invited all of you social elites to witness it."
After hearing this, everyone around was immediately puzzled. Many people stood there looking at Chen Zihao, wondering what he had to announce. Obviously, they hadn't heard a word about this beforehand, so many people stared intently at Chen Zihao to see what he wanted to say.
"Tianxie, come here!" More than a hundred pairs of eyes stood there staring blankly at Chen Zihao, who called out to me in the corner.
Although I didn't understand what Chen Zihao was up to, I still stood up and walked over in front of everyone. Whatever Chen Zihao's intentions, I couldn't possibly embarrass him in front of so many people. Besides, I believed Chen Zihao wasn't plotting anything; even if he was, would I be afraid?
However, as I reappeared before the crowd, everyone stared intently at me, some whispering amongst themselves as if pondering something.
When I reached the spiral staircase, I glanced at Chen Qianqian, whose face was slightly flushed, and nodded to Chen Zihao. Chen Zihao nodded back, then pulled me to his side, patted my shoulder, and turned to the crowd, saying, "The important thing I want to announce is that tonight I officially announce my daughter's engagement to her boyfriend, Mr. Li Tianxie. From now on, Tianxie will take over all my businesses and become the heir of the Chen family. I called everyone here today to witness this..."
After a moment of surprised discussion, "Wow!" A round of applause followed. The Chen family's assets were worth at least 30 to 50 billion yuan. Although they weren't the richest people in China, they were certainly among the top 50 on the rich list. The fact that such a massive business could be transferred so easily made everyone think that Chen Zihao had gone mad. At the same time, many people started to pay attention to me. Of course, applause was indispensable for such an event. After all, as the future head of the Chen family, they naturally had to give me some face. Regardless of whether I was the kind of thug dressed casually at a banquet, they had to give me face. Even if they didn't give me face, they would at least give me financial face. It wasn't about comparing myself to others, but about the fact that I was rich.
They were thinking these things, but my thoughts were different. At that moment, I could only sigh inwardly, "Indeed... old foxes are shrewd." Even Jiang Wanmin probably never dreamed Chen Zihao would pull such a stunt.
You see, while these people aren't part of China's top circles, they are still wealthy and powerful figures in their respective regions. Not to mention, there are several leaders in Shanghai alone, and these people aren't from their faction. Jiang Wanmin knows this better than anyone. If he makes a mistake, someone will definitely find fault with him, and then he'll be in trouble.
Chen Zihao's actions undoubtedly made everyone prove my relationship with Chen Qianqian. At this point, even if Jiang Wanmin wanted to take action against Chen Qianqian, he would have to think twice. He could bring himself to do it, but his father couldn't. So Chen Zihao's move undoubtedly left Jiang Wanmin speechless. Of course, in a sense, Chen Zihao put me in danger, but that was unavoidable, and I can understand him.
After all, as a father, Chen Zihao's first priority is to protect his daughter. And while what he's doing puts me in some danger, the one who's probably suffering the most isn't me, but him. He, a powerless businessman, isn't afraid; what could I be afraid of? Besides being moved by Chen Zihao's fatherly love, I couldn't say anything.
At that moment, I noticed that Jiang Wanmin, who had been smiling in the corner, had turned ashen-faced, unable to utter a word, only staring at Chen Zihao and me with a vicious gaze. It seemed he had already taken us very seriously, to the core.
"Hehe, as everyone knows, today is Miss Chen Qianqian's birthday, and the main character today is naturally Miss Chen Qianqian. Now... please turn off the lights!!!" The emcee, not caring about anything else, walked up with a smile and addressed the crowd.
At his command, the surrounding lights immediately went out, plunging everything into darkness. However, a moment later, a light came from the doorway, and a ball of flame appeared before us... no... Perhaps it should be said that a pile of cakes appeared before us. A large nine-tiered cake was pushed onto a cart by three people.
The birthday song began to play in the crowd, with many people singing along, mostly women. The men's voices... were truly unpleasant to hear.
After the birthday song and brief blessings, Chen Qianqian stood there with a smile, closed her eyes, and before closing them, glanced at me and made a wish. Then she blew hard on the candle—actually, it was just a single candle, and with a slight effort, the flame went out. After a burst of cheers, the surroundings brightened, as if night had turned to day in an instant.
Next, many people presented birthday gifts, all of them well-packaged. We didn't know what was inside, but these people wouldn't give anything too meager; after all, they were respectable individuals and wouldn't be stingy with such things, otherwise, they would be the ones who lost face.
Looking at the piles of gifts, Chen Qianqian didn't show excessive joy. Her eyes never left me, probably because she was happy about what Chen Zihao had just announced. Actually, I could understand Chen Qianqian's feelings very well. After all, it wasn't a secret that Chen Qianqian liked me, and it had been so many years. It would be a lie to say that she didn't have feelings for me. It was just that she felt it was a bit abrupt at the beginning. However, I didn't object to Chen Zihao's arrangement at this time. I guess Chen Zihao only told Chen Qianqian about our engagement. As for Jiang Wanmin, he probably didn't say a word more. Otherwise, knowing Chen Qianqian as I do, she definitely wouldn't be in the mood to blow out birthday candles here. She would be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Hehe, Miss Qianqian, I specially had a sapphire prepared for you this time. It's the latest design by the European master designer, Luo Bo, and it's worth ten million US dollars. I personally admire Miss Qianqian very much, and I specially chose this piece of jewelry for you. Do you think it suits you?" Jiang Wanmin, who had somehow already put on a smile, approached Chen Qianqian with an extremely polite demeanor. He then took out a diamond necklace from his pocket. I'd seen this before; it was from a royal jewelry store, one of those kinds of pieces I wouldn't even consider.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, this gift is too valuable for me. Please take it back," Chen Qianqian said, her face slightly flushed, without even glancing at the jewelry.
