Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Take Down Directly_1

”Two billion.”

Jiang Chen had raised his placard and called out the price.

The crowd was dumbfounded by this price!

”Two billion?! Has this kid lost his mind? He’s directly bid ten times the starting price?!”

”Holy shit, who is this guy? He’s determined to win at all costs!”

”This is already way higher than the villa’s worth, who would bid against that!”

”This is straight-up kneeling from the get-go! With this bid, those who had their eyes on this villa are probably going to kneel!”

Exclamations of shock rang out throughout the auction hall, and the looks directed at Jiang Chen were filled with amazement.

Lin Tianzuo turned to look at Jiang Chen, a cold chill flashing in his eyes. Although he was a young master of one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, he had limited funds he could mobilize. Two billion far exceeded the value of the villa and was way beyond his limit!

Wu Jiande was utterly dumbstruck, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at Jiang Chen.

This, this, this is too domineering! No wonder he was confident he could secure it!

True enough, no one else outbid Jiang Chen, and with his one-time bid, he secured the villa directly.

Afterward, Jiang Chen didn’t delay. He handled the formalities, then left Shenghua Hotel with Xuan Long and another person, while Wu Jiande shamelessly asked to exchange phone numbers.

Jiang Chen didn’t mind; having more friends opened more paths, so he gave Wu Jiande his number.

Returning home, Jiang Chen gave Ye Jingyi acupuncture and massage before waiting in the living room for Gong Lin to get off work.

The front door opened, and Jiang Chen turned his head to look. Gong Lin was back.

”Gong Lin, I have something to tell you,” Jiang Chen called out with a light smile.

Gong Lin sat down next to Jiang Chen, looking at him with puzzlement.

”I bought a larger villa, would you be willing to move in with us?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Gong Lin’s heart trembled, her face lighting up with joy, ”Really?”

He’s inviting me to the villa he bought; does this mean he’s willing to accept me now?

Tears welled up in Gong Lin’s eyes as she looked at him with deep tenderness, hoping for just a fraction of affection. She had been longing for Jiang Chen’s change of heart. Although she knew she could never replace Ye Jingyi’s place in his heart, and she never harbored any hope of doing so, all she wanted was a little bit of love from him, just a little!

Jiang Chen’s heart trembled, seeing the tenderness in Gong Lin’s eyes, he was filled with complex emotions, the greatest of which was guilt. If there was anyone he owed, he could not single them out, but if there was someone he owed the most, it would probably be Gong Lin!

”Of course, we’re a family. As long as you’re willing, we should live together!” Jiang Chen spoke softly.

Tears streamed down Gong Lin’s face as she threw herself into Jiang Chen’s embrace, hugging him tightly. The tears flowed silently down her cheeks, her eyes reflecting immense joy!

That very afternoon, Jiang Chen moved to the standalone villa at the center of Dingyun Lake with Gong Lin, Shen Xiaoqin, and Ye Jingyi. As they settled in, Xuan Long and Yan Hu’s team of martial artists secured the entire garden villa.

Later that night, when everyone had gone to bed, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged in the bedroom, beginning to cultivate.

Humm humm humm!

The vital energy inside his body circulated rapidly, and with delight, Jiang Chen opened his eyes: ”Indeed, cultivating here really does speed up the cultivation! This two billion was so worth it!”

With a joyous heart, Jiang Chen focused on his cultivation.

Streams of invisible mist drifted from Dingyun Lake and into Jiang Chen as he cultivated, merging with the vital energy within him. With the mist’s integration, the vital energy inside Jiang Chen circulated even faster.

After cultivating throughout the night, Jiang Chen opened his eyes in the early morning, looking thrilled. He murmured to himself, ”At this rate of cultivation, my Cultivation Technique will soon advance, and then, I’ll be able to awaken Jingyi!”

...

The second day.

Gong Lin and Shen Xiaoqin went to the mall to buy household supplies. Jiang Chen initially wanted to join them, but a message from Xuan Long made him stay at the villa.

”Let’s see what these two families are up to!” Jiang Chen chuckled coldly and turned to the dining room to finish the breakfast that he hadn’t completed earlier.

At the villa entrance.

Having received the location from Xuan Long, Zhao Chengjiang and Zhu Lianming arrived at the Dingyun Lake Villa with a dozen bodyguards.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Chengjiang and Zhu Lianming stood outside the villa and started to converse in soft voices.

”This kid actually lives here?!” Zhao Chengjiang looked at the garden villa, greed flashing in his eyes.

Zhu Lianming, with a flickering gaze, said, ”After we teach this brat a lesson today, we’ll make him compensate us with this villa!”

”That’s right, make him hand over this villa! If he dares to offend us, he must make it up!” Zhao Chengjiang nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with possessiveness as if the villa was already theirs.

”Let’s go, get in, and deal with that kid!” Zhu Lianming called out to Zhao Chengjiang and strode towards the villa’s main gate.

”Stop right there!” Yan Hu, who had already received the message from Xuan Long, blocked the entrance of the villa.

Zhu Lianming arrogantly said, ”Hurry up and tell Jiang Chen that I am Family Head Zhu Lianming of the Zhu Family, and this is Family Head Zhao Chengjiang of the Zhao Family. We are here; tell him to come out to greet us immediately!”

”Greet?!” Yan Hu scoffed, ”Just wait!”

”What? You want us to wait here?” Zhao Chengjiang glared at Yan Hu and shouted fiercely.

Yan Hu nodded and said disdainfully, ”Yes, wait here.”

”Why should we wait here? Get Jiang Chen out now!” Zhu Lianming bellowed angrily.

Yan Hu replied indifferently, ”If you want to see our Young Master, please wait to be summoned. The Young Master is having breakfast right now and has no time to see you!”

”What? Bastard! Does he think he’s the emperor? Being summoned? Break through and get him for me!” Zhu Lianming roared in fury.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The dozen bodyguards charged at Yan Hu.

Yan Hu let out a cold laugh and rushed towards the group of bodyguards.

Zhu Lianming glanced at the four guards who ignored them at the sides of the villa entrance and sneered, ”Such arrogance! Jiang Chen is arrogant, and so are his people underneath him. Do they really think that just one person can handle our elite bodyguards?”

”Clueless about the real world! It looks like today we’re going to have to give Jiang Chen a good lesson in humility!” Zhao Chengjiang added coldly.

Bang bang bang!

Behind them, a series of muffled sounds erupted, and soon after, the noises of fighting came to an end.

Zhu Lianming and his companion didn’t even look back at the fight, overflowing with confidence. They were certain their bodyguards could take down one person easily, so they headed straight for the villa’s main gate.

”Where do you think you’re going?” A cold voice sounded, and a figure appeared in front of the two.

Zhu Lianming and the other man were taken aback and quickly turned to look behind them.

Immediately, they were dumbfounded.

They saw at the back, their so-called elite bodyguards were all lying on the ground, moaning in pain.

How... how is this possible?

Zhu Lianming and his companion turned their heads in shock, staring at Yan Hu.

Their bodyguards were carefully selected, yet they were all taken down so swiftly by this guy on the other side.

This... how could this man be so powerful?
