Everyone in the Group is a Main Character, Except Me Who's the Villain

179: Chapter 179 Reward of 100 MillionCultivation is not something that happens overnight; the later stages become increasingly difficult.

For someone like Jin Lingwei to reach the Peak of Hidden Power at twenty, with an estimated breakthrough to Grandmaster at thirty-five, she is already a genius among geniuses.

Zhao Ruilong had some understanding, so he didn’t quite believe it.

Upon hearing this, Old Sun shook his head, saying, ”Young Master, Grandmasters aren’t judged by age, but primarily by talent. Some people are exceptionally gifted; it’s not impossible for them to enter the Grandmaster realm in their twenties or thirties. Though extremely rare, it certainly happens.”

Zhao Haicheng frowned, ”Are you sure he’s a Grandmaster?”

”Eight or nine times out of ten.”

Hearing this, Zhao Ruilong grew anxious, ”Dad, then... what should we do? Are we just going to let them off?”

Based on his understanding of the cultivation world over the past two days, there were only two known Grandmasters in Chengdu: one in the Feng Family and one in the military.

Now that the other party was a Grandmaster, how could he get revenge?

”What are you panicking about?” Zhao Haicheng ignored him and looked at Old Sun, ”Find an opportunity to test him out.”

Old Sun thought for a moment, ”Okay. If he’s a Grandmaster, his externalized true qi will have energy fluctuations that I can sense. As long as there’s no direct conflict, it should be fine.”

Zhao Haicheng nodded, ”Go arrange it. First, find out the person’s background, then decide how to act.”

A Grandmaster represents not only individual strength but also the power behind them.

For an ordinary wealthy family to provoke one, extreme caution is indeed required.

Although Zhao Ruilong understood this, he was unwilling. His leg was broken by Zhou Yuan, and he was publicly insulted by Fang Ming. How could he not retaliate?

After much deliberation, he decided to take a shortcut.

Leaving Zhou Yuan to his father was enough.

As for Fang Ming... Since the gray-clothed man beside Fang Ming was a Grandmaster and his subordinates couldn’t beat him, why not bypass the Grandmaster and go directly after Fang Ming? Wouldn’t that solve it?

Fang Ming used to be Qin Xiao’s subordinate, so the most suitable person to contact if he wanted to bypass the Grandmaster and target Fang Ming was Qin Xiao.

...

At 3 PM, in the Qin Corporation CEO’s office.

Qin Xiao sat behind his large desk, holding his phone. The screen displayed several messages from Chen Qian.

Qianqian Little Princess: ”Fang Ming and that girl named Ye Nuannuan are quite close. They had lunch together at Kempinski today, and there was a man in gray clothes whom Wang Changming personally received.”

Qianqian Little Princess: ”That man in gray seems very familiar with Wang Changming; Wang Changming was especially polite to him.”

Qianqian Little Princess: ”Fang Ming and that person called each other brothers.”

The messages were short, but the information was significant. Qin Xiao stared at the screen, his brows slowly furrowing.

Wang Changming, patriarch of the Wang Family, one of Chengdu’s four great wealthy families.

The number of people in Chengdu he would personally receive and treat with such politeness could be counted on one hand. When did Fang Ming get to know such a high-level figure?

He leaned back in his chair, his mind replaying various events from this period.

In his previous life, Fang Ming was not very smart; he remained Qin Xiao’s lackey until his death, hoping to be greatly reused one day.

In this life, although Fang Ming seemed fine on the surface, his luck was a bit too good.

He saved Han Kun, who gifted him a villa worth tens of millions. He won the lottery, taking home four million after tax.

Now he even knows such a prominent figure? Even if he had interfered with his fate, it shouldn’t have made his luck this good.

Could it be that he, like those children of fortune, was favored by destiny?

Qin Xiao: ”Where are you now?”

The message quickly returned.

Qianqian Little Princess: ”I’m going home to pack my luggage. I’m going on a trip with him tomorrow!”

Qin Xiao: ”A trip??”

Qianqian Little Princess: ”Yes, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. He said he wants to see the plateau scenery.”

Qin Xiao: ”Keep following him. Report any developments immediately.”

Qianqian Little Princess: ”Okay, Young Master Qin.”

Qin Xiao put down his phone again, let out a long breath, and continued to ponder the feasibility of certain matters.

Ding-a-ling!

The phone rang again.

Zhao Ruilong? Qin Xiao frowned at the caller ID but still answered.

”Hello?”

”Old Qin, do me a favor.” Zhao Ruilong’s urgent voice came through the receiver, ”Help me get that kid Fang Ming to come out.”

Qin Xiao’s frown deepened, ”Why get him out?”

”To deal with him, of course!” Zhao Ruilong said matter-of-factly, ”That kid stole my woman yesterday and insulted me in front of so many people today. How the hell can I swallow this?”

”Can’t you handle this yourself? Why come to me?” Qin Xiao was curious.

Zhao Ruilong was a bit embarrassed, ”He has a master by his side; my men can’t beat him.”

Qin Xiao dismissed it, ”What kind of master can’t even be handled by you, Young Master Zhao?”

”A Grandmaster!”

”A Grandmaster... what? A Grandmaster???” Qin Xiao stopped mid-sentence, completely stunned.

Fang Ming has a Grandmaster by his side? What kind of joke is this?

”Really, if it weren’t for that Grandmaster, I wouldn’t have asked for your help...”

Zhao Ruilong was on the verge of tears, recounting everything that had happened over the past two days.

From his men being instantly defeated by Ye Tian to the lunch at Kempinski today, he felt that his face as a young master of a wealthy family had been trampled on by Fang Ming and Zhou Yuan.

After listening, Qin Xiao quickly organized his thoughts, ”You mean he calls that Grandmaster ’brother’? Then if you get someone to deal with him, that Grandmaster won’t let you off either.”

”Wouldn’t it be fine if he didn’t know it was me?” Zhao Ruilong said matter-of-factly.

Qin Xiao’s face was full of black lines, ”So, you won’t show your face at all, and you want me to ask Fang Ming out? Won’t that Grandmaster come after me then?”

Grandmasters aren’t idiots.

If Fang Ming was invited out by him and got beaten up, and the Grandmaster sought revenge, wouldn’t he follow the clues?

Hearing Qin Xiao’s words, Zhao Ruilong paused, then said.

”Holy crap, I didn’t think of that. Let me process this first...”

”Process what? It’s impossible for me to help you invite him out if you want to deal with him. However... I can find you an opportunity.”

”What opportunity?”

”First, send me a photo of that Grandmaster...”

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Qin Family villa area, a brand new porsche cayenne was parked steadily by the roadside.

Chen Qian sat in the passenger seat, not getting out immediately, but instead looked at Fang Ming.

”Everything was sent exactly as you instructed. What needed to be said was said, and what shouldn’t have been said was not mentioned at all.”

Fang Ming nodded slightly, ”Hmm, teachable.”

Chen Qian smiled, leaned close to Fang Ming’s ear, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry, ”Since I’m so obedient, what are you going to reward me with?”

”Reward you...” Fang Ming raised an eyebrow at her words, his gaze sweeping over her face, then a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, ”A hundred million.”

Chen Qian froze for a moment, then reacted, her face instantly turning red.

She reached out and lightly punched Fang Ming’s arm, the force as gentle as a tickle, ”You... pervert!”

Ding dong!

A message from Qin Xiao.

Chen Qian read it, then asked Fang Ming, ”Young Master Qin sent another message. He’s asking if that Brother Ye is a Grandmaster and if he’ll be traveling with us. How should I reply?”
