Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 90

Zhou Lingxi, “…”

“Are you ready? We can leave now~.” Jiang Che glanced at his wristwatch, it was already past five in the afternoon, and they would probably reach the Capital around ten at night.

“I don’t have much to pack, and the plane tickets are already booked. We can leave now.”

“What about you, Uncle Fu?” Jiang Che turned his head to look at Uncle Fu.

“I don’t have much to pack either, we can leave now.” Uncle Fu stroked his goatee and smiled.

“Then let’s go.” Jiang Che, without dallying, had the bodyguard drive a Maybach, and the trio headed for the airport.

…………

“Boss, someone is coming out.”

Outside Crouching Dragon Villa, Xiao Fan was sitting on a big rock, dozing off. Mosquito bites from last night kept him awake all night, and just as he was finally feeling sleepy, he was woken up by Yang Gaofei.

He was quite annoyed, but perked up after hearing Yang Gaofei’s words. Following Yang Gaofei’s pointing direction, he saw a Maybach slowly driving out of the villa.

“Quick, follow it!” Xiao Fan said, hopping into a BMW parked by the road, which he had arranged for his subordinate to bring yesterday.

…………

Jiang Che sat in the back seat of the Maybach, looking through the window, he saw the BMW doggedly following behind and smiled playfully.

This Xiao Fan was really persistent, unexpectedly camping out the whole night outside the villa.

Zhou Lingxi also noticed the car behind and looked displeased.

“This guy is really like a sticky plaster, impossible to shake off.”

“Drive faster and lose that BMW behind us.” Jiang Che instructed the driver, then closed his eyes to rest.

Upon Jiang Che’s instruction, the driver floored the accelerator, and the speed instantly soared to 200 mph. The Maybach swiftly pulled away.

“Drive faster!” Xiao Fan, in the BMW’s passenger seat, urged anxiously as he watched the Maybach getting further away.

Yang Gaofei said nothing and also floored the accelerator, relentlessly pursuing the Maybach.

…………

At Linjiang City International Airport, Jiang Che and his companions got off the Maybach.

“You go back first.” Jiang Che looked at the driver and dismissed him. Then he, along with Zhou Lingxi and Uncle Fu, headed straight for the terminal.

“What are they doing here?” Not long after, the BMW also stopped outside the airport. Xiao Fan, watching Jiang Che’s group, was puzzled.

“Master, in a few days, it’s the 70th birthday of the Lady’s grandmother.” Yang Gaofei reminded him kindly, which he had previously told him.

“Right, how could I forget this!” Xiao Fan slapped his forehead. Reminded by Yang Gaofei, he also remembered. It seemed that the continuous shocks of the past few days had affected his thinking.

“Quickly book the nearest flight, back to the Imperial Capital!”

…………

After waiting for over an hour in the terminal, Jiang Che and his companions boarded the plane smoothly.

In first class, a tall and beautiful stewardess approached Jiang Che, bending slightly with a professional smile. “Sir, would you like something to drink?”

The stewardess’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Jiang Che, who was handsome and wearing a limited edition Patek Philippe watch, which would cost several million.

It seemed she had encountered a real wealthy man today! She was determined to seize this opportunity to rise to the top. After all, it’s rare to find someone like Jiang Che who has the trifecta of being tall, rich, and handsome.

“Just a bottle of mineral water.” Jiang Che, looking at the newspaper in his hand, spoke indifferently. He could see the woman’s intentions. She might be considered a goddess in the eyes of ordinary people.

But having seen beauties like Shen Qingqiu and Zhou Lingxi, Jiang Che had no interest in such mediocrity. He might be lascivious, but he was not indiscriminate.

“Alright, please wait a moment.” The stewardess sensed the distance in Jiang Che’s tone and felt slightly disappointed but didn’t give up, planning to continue after bringing the water.

“Yo, is this the Jiang family’s young master? A beauty throwing herself at you, and you reject her?” Zhou Lingxi sat beside Jiang Che and teased.

“You can question my character, but never my taste!” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Zhou Lingxi. “If my dear Lingling wants to throw herself into my arms, I wouldn’t refuse.”

“Hmph, in your dreams!” Zhou Lingxi snorted and retorted.

“Sir, your water.” The stewardess returned shortly with a bottle of mineral water, handing it to Jiang Che while deliberately leaning down to give him a full view.

“You can leave now.” Jiang Che frowned, growing impatient. Was this woman blind? Couldn’t she see he wasn’t interested?

Seeing Jiang Che’s increasingly annoyed expression, the stewardess didn’t linger and tactfully left. She knew that angering such wealthy individuals could be frightening, but she still felt regret at not successfully catching his interest.

…………

“What did you say? There are no flights to the Imperial Capital tonight!” Xiao Fan’s face darkened upon hearing Yang Gaofei’s report, his tone full of blame.

“There was a flight at nine tonight, but it was suddenly canceled. The earliest is tomorrow morning.” Yang Gaofei nodded, explaining that although flight cancellations were common, they didn’t happen every day; Xiao Fan was just unlucky.

“What a bunch of useless people! Can’t even manage a plane ticket! What use are you lot to me?” Hearing Yang Gaofei’s explanation, Xiao Fan grew angrier, cursing furiously, his face red with rage.

This was a minor issue, but seeing Jiang Che and Zhou Lingxi on the same flight made him think the worst, so he lost control.

Hearing Xiao Fan’s curses, Yang Gaofei silently lowered his head, fists clenched, feeling discontent with his master for the first time.

He had followed him from the Shura Hall to Jiuzhou Country for three years, dealing with various trivial matters without pay, and still got scolded from time to time. Did he really have no temper?

…

At ten in the evening, at the Imperial Capital International Airport.

Jiang Che, accompanied by Zhou Lingxi and Uncle Fu, walked out of the terminal. As they reached the exit, they saw a group of men in black approaching them.

“These are all masters of Dark Energy, and the leader is even an expert in the early stages of Innate.” Zhou Lingxi frowned slightly, warning Jiang Che.

She couldn’t understand why they were approached immediately after disembarking, wondering if Jiang Che had enemies in the Imperial Capital.

“Don’t worry, these are our people.” Jiang Che shook his head and smiled. These men were likely from the Su family, sent on the orders of his father-in-law to pick them up.

As expected, the group of men in black came to Jiang Che, bowed, and shouted in unison. “Young master Jiang, we are here to pick you up on behalf of our master. A hotel has been arranged for you.”

“Do you plan to visit the Su family tonight, or stay at the hotel?” The leading bodyguard asked for Jiang Che’s preference, as it was too late to visit the Su family.

“Let’s go to the hotel first, and visit the Su family tomorrow.” Jiang Che also considered this and told the men.

“Young master Jiang, please…” The leading bodyguard stepped aside, gesturing for Jiang Che to proceed.

Behind him, a row of Rolls-Royce Phantoms were parked, about a dozen in total, exuding an air of opulence.

“The Su family… What is your relationship with the Su family?” Zhou Lingxi was dumbfounded at the sight of Jiang Che, casually receiving such a grand welcome with a dozen Rolls-Royce Phantoms and bodyguards with Innate realm cultivation.

Apart from the Su family, one of the four major families in the Imperial Capital, she couldn’t think of a second possibility.
