Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 11 - Li Hu’s Fear, The Mysterious Jiang Family

Chapter 11: Li Hu’s Fear, The Mysterious Jiang Family

“I have a business deal to discuss with him,” Jiang Che said with a light laugh.

“Please follow me to the sixth floor,” the manager promptly replied, not daring to inquire about Jiang Che’s identity.

He was aware that his boss’s business wasn’t limited to running an entertainment club; there were other ventures behind the scenes. But he chose not to delve into it, believing that sometimes ignorance was bliss.

…

On the sixth floor, inside a VIP room, the manager knocked and called out, “Boss, a distinguished guest has arrived, looking to discuss business with you.”

“Oh? Let him in,” came a rough voice from inside the room, seemingly that of a middle-aged man.

“This way, please,” the manager opened the door and gestured for Jiang Che to enter.

“You guys wait outside, Ah Long, come in with me,” Jiang Che said to his bodyguards, deciding it was best to take only Ah Long with him to avoid making Li Hu overly cautious.

“Yes, young master,” the bodyguards responded, then arranged themselves on both sides of the room’s entrance.

…

“Who are you?” Li Hu asked, frowning slightly at the overly young man who entered the room. He didn’t recall having any young acquaintances like him.

“Jiang Che,” Jiang Che nonchalantly walked over to Li Hu’s side, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

His demeanor lacked any courtesy, as if he were in his own home. He didn’t even glance directly at Li Hu, seemingly indifferent to his presence.

“What do you mean by this?” Li Hu’s eyes narrowed dangerously, starting to feel irritated by Jiang Che’s arrogance. It had been a long time since he encountered such a brazen young man.

“Nothing much, just a business matter to discuss with you. It’s definitely a good deal for you,” Jiang Che smiled.

“Is this how you conduct business?” Li Hu scoffed.

“Heh,” Jiang Che coldly laughed, then pulled out a document and threw it at Li Hu’s face. “Take a look at what this is!”

“You…” Li Hu’s face turned angry, not expecting Jiang Che to disregard him completely. He reached for the gun in his desk drawer, but a dark muzzle was already pointed at his forehead.

“Don’t move, or you’re dead…” Ah Long’s chilly voice followed. Anticipating Li Hu’s action, Ah Long had taken preemptive action to ensure Jiang Che’s safety.

Jiang Che looked at Ah Long, surprised. He hadn’t expected Ah Long to carry a gun. Wasn’t Jiuzhou Country strictly against firearms?

But then he remembered he was in a novel’s world, where anything could happen. In this world of fiction, all illogical things become logical.

…

“Brother, don’t be rash, let’s talk this out…” Li Hu, with a forehead full of sweat and a visibly tense expression, said.

Times had changed, and he had forgotten how long it had been since someone last pointed a gun at his head. It wasn’t like the old times of constant fighting and killing anymore.

He didn’t even question whether the gun was real or not. Seeing Jiang Che’s expensive attire, getting a gun wouldn’t be difficult for him. Ah Long glanced at Jiang Che, seeking his opinion.

“Put down the gun for now, we’re here to talk business,” Jiang Che said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ah Long retracted the gun, tucking it behind his waist, and sternly warned Li Hu, “Don’t let me catch you making any wrong moves. I am much faster than you!”

…

Li Hu took a deep breath and picked up the documents from the table to look at them. His facial expressions changed dramatically – from doubt to shock, and finally, his face turned extremely pale.

“Where… Where did you get these documents?” he asked Jiang Che, trembling and frightened. The documents contained evidence of his actions from a few years ago.

He thought he had covered his tracks perfectly, but where had Jiang Che obtained this information?

“Do you really think your plans were flawless and unnoticed?” Jiang Che said with a look of disdain.

He had gotten these documents from his father. His father’s special position made it extremely easy to thoroughly investigate Li Hu.

It wasn’t that the higher-ups were unaware of Li Hu’s activities; they simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.

In the original story, Li Hu survived till the end thanks to the network of relationships accumulated by the protagonist Ye Chen. Otherwise, Li Hu would have met his demise many times over.

…

“Who exactly are you?” Li Hu asked, his eyelids twitching and voice quivering. Anyone capable of producing such documents must have a significant background. Could it be someone from the Jiang family?

“Didn’t I tell you? I am Jiang Che from the Jiang family,” Jiang Che replied.

“Indeed…” Li Hu murmured to himself. Among the few top families in Linjiang City, the Jiang family was the most mysterious.

On the surface, they appeared to only own a trillion-dollar publicly listed company, but insiders knew the Jiang family’s influence was far more extensive than that.

The extent of their extraordinary background was unknown to anyone. The Jiang family remained the most mysterious entity among all the elite families of Linjiang City.

Even Li Hu had not heard of Jiang Che’s name before and only knew that the young master of the Jiang family was still studying at Linjiang University.
