Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Lin Nan’s Fear, the Descent of Grandmaster Vast

“Ding, the host successfully framed Lin Nan, causing him to completely break with Shen Qingqiu, altering the plot. Reward: 2000 villain points.”

“Ding, Lin Nan’s luck -1000, reward: 2000 villain points.”

In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che listened to the system prompts echoing in his mind, a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Jiang Che hadn’t expected the plan to frame Lin Nan to go so smoothly.

After completely breaking with Shen Qingqiu, Lin Nan had no more value to exploit, especially since the online shopping avenue had already been seized by him. Now that Shen Qingqiu had broken with him, Lin Nan’s rebirth was meaningless. He could choose a time to send him on his way!

Thinking this, Jiang Che got up and walked out of the living room, heading towards the training ground where his bodyguards were practicing in the backyard.

…

In a clearing in the backyard, Uncle Fu was training a few of his bodyguards. As a master at the late stage of Transformation, Uncle Fu found it quite easy to instruct a few warriors at the Innate level.

“Young master…” Seeing Jiang Che arrive, a smile appeared on Uncle Fu’s face, and he greeted him with utmost respect.

“How are their training progressing?” Jiang Che asked curiously.

“After taking your cleansing pills, young master, their physiques have significantly improved. Through hard work during this period, Ah Long has advanced to the late stage of Innate.” Uncle Fu stroked his beard, sighing in amazement. Such rapid progress in cultivation was something he had never dared to imagine before, all thanks to Jiang Che’s cleansing pills.

“Not bad…” Jiang Che shrugged. Although their cultivation levels were still somewhat weak, the progress was evident.

In the later stages, he could help them with various pills, which would make them a significant force for him.

“Take this…” Jiang Che exchanged a Great Restoration Pill from the system and handed it to Uncle Fu. The old man, Yang Wei’s master, was arriving in Linjiang soon, and Jiang Che needed to elevate Uncle Fu’s cultivation.

Having an extra helper would increase his chances of victory. Although he was confident he could kill the old man, who knows what hidden cards he might have.

“What’s this…” Uncle Fu frowned, looking puzzled at the pill in his hand, not understanding Jiang Che’s intention.

“This is a Great Restoration Pill. Taking it will grant you the equivalent of ten years of cultivation, helping you break through to the peak of Transformation. In a few days, I’ll need your help in a tough battle. Take it quickly.”

“This… young master, you should keep it for yourself.” Uncle Fu was tempted but politely declined. Such a pill was too precious.

“I have plenty. No need to refuse.” Jiang Che shook his head. As long as he had enough villain points, he could get as many as he wanted.

“Alright, thank you, young master.” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Uncle Fu no longer refused and looked at Jiang Che with gratitude.

He hadn’t expected the young master to treat him so well. Although he had served the Jiang family for decades, he was still just a servant.

“Find a time to break through. There’s a big battle tomorrow…” Leaving these words, Jiang Che departed.

Uncle Fu found an open spot to begin his breakthrough.

…

At the Shen family mansion, when Lin Nan returned, Lin Wanrou was already waiting for him in the living room, her face looking displeased.

“Mom, I’m back…” Lin Nan touched his nose, smiling sheepishly. He knew why his mother was angry, so he avoided her gaze.

“Tell me, what are you planning to do!” Lin Wanrou looked at her son with disappointment, feeling he was being too hasty. Though Lin Nan’s intentions were good, he should never have resorted to money laundering!

“I’m telling you, I didn’t launder money. I was framed. Do you believe me?” Lin Nan sighed helplessly. The system said his money was obtained legally, but he didn’t know the details. This time, it was Jiang Che who tricked him, leading to a series of misunderstandings.

“Do you think I believe that?” Lin Wanrou frowned, looking at her son with dissatisfaction.

His wings had grown, and now he was even lying to her? If he made a mistake, he should admit it and avoid repeating it. But Lin Nan’s refusal to admit his mistake frustrated her.

Lin Nan said nothing more, turning to pack his luggage. He planned to leave Linjiang in the next few days and return to Tianhai City. Shen Qingqiu always kept her word. He didn’t think she was joking. Next time they met, she might beat him half to death.

He no longer had any thoughts about Shen Qingqiu. She was deeply in love, and nothing he said would matter.

“You…” Watching Lin Nan’s retreating figure, Lin Wanrou gritted her teeth, feeling disappointment for the first time in her son.

…

The next day, at dusk.

At Linjiang City train station, an elderly man with white hair and a solemn expression emerged from the waiting hall, dressed in coarse linen. His steps were vigorous, indicating his robust health.

This was none other than Cangmang Zhenren. After receiving Yang Wei’s call, he had rushed to Linjiang overnight and had just arrived by train.

He looked around, his eyes filled with astonishment. For the past ten years, he had been secluded in the mountains, occasionally descending to the villages at the foot of the Vast Mountain for supplies. He hadn’t visited the city in over a decade and was amazed by the drastic changes in Linjiang.

However, he didn’t have time for sentimentality. He took out an old mobile phone and called Yang Wei, “Hello? I’ve arrived in Linjiang. Where are you? Hongyun Hotel on Tianan Road? I’m heading there now.”

After getting the address from Yang Wei, He hailed a cab and headed straight for the Hongyun Hotel.

…

Room 101, Hongyun Hotel.

Hearing the doorbell, Yang Wei excitedly opened the door. Seeing his master, Yang Wei couldn’t hold back his tears and began to cry, pouring out his grievances.

Cangmang frowned but said nothing. He knew his disciple had suffered greatly, even becoming an eunuch…

“I’ll find a way to help you. Don’t be too sad.” He patted Yang Wei’s shoulder, comforting him.

“Is there really a way?” Hearing his master’s words, Yang Wei looked up expectantly. He knew his master was highly skilled and might have a solution.

“There’s a way, but it’s complicated…” He handed Yang Wei a pill, saying, “This pill will help calm your mind. Once you take it, you won’t dwell on this issue…”

He had no real solution. Once it was gone, it was gone. But he wanted to comfort Yang Wei and prevent him from falling into despair.

“If you reach the Unity of Heaven and Man, I can help you recover…” Fearing Yang Wei’s disbelief, Grandmaster Vast painted a rosy picture.

“Really, Master?” Yang Wei asked excitedly, his eyes shining, already envisioning his future life.

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Take the pill first…” He coughed, his eyes evasive and his tone guilty.

“Okay!” Without hesitation, Yang Wei swallowed the Heart-Cleansing Pill given by his master. As the pill dissolved, Yang Wei felt his focus shift away from the issue, his mind no longer filled with wild thoughts.

“Tell me, what happened?” Seeing Yang Wei calm down, Cangmang zhenren sighed in relief and asked curiously.

On the phone that day, Yang Wei had been too emotional, his voice hoarse. Grandmaster Vast hadn’t understood the details, only knowing his disciple had been crippled.

“Here’s what happened… At first, I went to the Gu family to adjust their feng shui… Then Jiang Che crippled me!” Yang Wei recounted his recent experiences to his master. By the end, his face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched, and his chest heaving with suppressed anger.

“What a family, what a Jiang Che!” Hearing Yang Wei’s story, Grandmaster Vast’s expression darkened.

Such a formidable young man! In just a decade, the Jiang family had produced such a prodigy? He had thought his disciple, Yang Wei, reaching the initial stage of Transformation at twenty, was already exceptional. But Jiang Che surpassed him in every way…
