"Why are you here?" Chen Jie looked at Jiang Xue, his gaze sharpening with confusion.
"I... Xiao Yan asked me to come!"
Chen Jie was about to ask her about the entrance ticket, but then he thought that Wang Xiao Yan worked at Feiyang Group, so obtaining a ticket shouldn't be difficult.
Jiang Xue had originally wanted to say that she was worried Chen Jie would mess around and wanted to come check on him, but she was afraid Chen Jie would be arrogant.
She said, "I've agreed with Xiao Yan to help you out today."
Chen Jie frowned. "You can't help me with my troubles. Go back."
"Heh, I'm trying to help you out of goodwill, and you're not even grateful?" Jiang Xue said, a hint of grievance in her voice.
"It's not that I'm not grateful, it's just that you have no right to interfere in my affairs!" Chen Jie replied.
"Don't underestimate me! If I say I can help you, I have my reasons!" Jiang Xue said indignantly.
"What reasons? How do you plan to help me?" Chen Jie asked.
"I..."
Jiang Xue glanced around and then walked over to Chen Jie, whispering, "Yesterday, I posted a bounty on the dark web for a Heavenly rank expert named 'Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng' to protect you!"
"If anyone targets you later, that Heavenly rank expert will appear directly and block them for you! You seize the opportunity!"
Chen Jie laughed in disbelief. "Don't believe things online, most of them are scams!"
"No, I spent a hundred million yuan! He sent me some videos, and his strength is indeed very high. Just wait and see!" Jiang Xue said confidently.
Chen Jie's gaze softened. Although he didn't know if Jiang Xue had been scammed, she was still trying to help him by coming up with a solution.
"Pfft! Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng? Is there such an idiot in the world?"
Just as Chen Jie was about to speak, a woman's voice interrupted them.
In the distance, Yin Manman, with Huang Jing's arm around her waist, elegantly walked towards them.
Not only was Yin Manman adorned with gold and silver, but Huang Jing beside her had also transformed. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and accessories, making him extremely eye-catching.
Normally, Huang Jing, despite having some money, wouldn't dare to be so ostentatious.
Chen Jie frowned. "Yin Manman, are you that eager to die?"
"Why would I die? Are you the King of Hell or something? Do I die just by looking at you?" Yin Manman said arrogantly.
"On the contrary, I think you'll be the one dying today!" Yin Manman said smugly.
Chen Jie frowned.
Logically, given Yin Manman's status, she shouldn't have been qualified to enter such a venue.
Her appearance today was quite coincidental.
"You want to kill me?" Chen Jie gave Yin Manman a cold look and said.
Yin Manman, with Huang Jing's arm around her, took two steps back.
Huang Jing put his hands on her shoulders and said softly, "Don't be afraid, you still have me!"
Then, Huang Jing looked at Chen Jie with a chuckle and said, "Manman isn't here to kill you, she's here to pick you up!"
Chen Jie felt a wave of disgust. He looked at Huang Jing and said, "What, aren't you two a couple now?"
Just as Huang Jing was about to speak, Yin Manman cut him off. "Who said we were a couple? Don't you dare slander me! Chen Jie, I only acknowledge you as my boyfriend. You should be happy for this honor!"
Yin Manman stroked Huang Jing's chin and then said proudly, "Huang Jing is just my kept man now. He's not worthy of being my boyfriend!"
Kept man?
Whether it was Chen Jie, Jiang Xue, or Lin Mengjiao, they were all shocked.
They had heard of men keeping mistresses, but this was the first time they had seen a woman keeping a "kept man."
They thought that Yin Manman was truly a nouveau riche, forgetting herself after gaining wealth.
Yin Manman's words stunned many passersby, but instead of feeling ashamed, she proudly glanced around.
"You bunch of country bumpkins, I have money, so what's wrong with keeping a kept man? Today the old squad leader is my kept man, tomorrow I'll experience being a mistress to someone younger. All those old classmates, I'll keep them all! Chen Jie, if you're willing to be my boyfriend, I can promise you that I'll only keep one kept man a month!"
Chen Jie's eyes turned cold. "Scram!"
Yin Manman flinched but then retorted, "Don't think too highly of yourself. I'm giving you a chance to be my boyfriend because I'm saving you! Because, as I am now, I'm not what I used to be! Even the Martial Arts Association has to give me face! I don't want you to die so easily!"
Seeing Chen Jie's gaze growing colder, Yin Manman finally said, "Fine, you don't cherish the only chance you have to live. Then I'll watch closely later how you die!"
She turned to leave.
Jiang Xue, however, clenched her fists and said, "Stop!"
Yin Manman turned around gracefully, reached into Huang Jing's pants, and chuckled, "What? Are you jealous?"
Jiang Xue's heart tightened. "I'm not his girlfriend, why would I be jealous! I want to ask you, why did you say the expert I hired is an idiot!"
Yin Manman laughed heartily. "I wasn't talking about the expert you hired, I was talking about *you* being an idiot!"
Jiang Xue's face turned red. "How dare you insult me!"
"Hahaha... calling you an idiot is even complimenting you! You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, tell me who you hired?" Yin Manman laughed even more exaggeratedly.
Jiang Xue said earnestly, "A Heavenly rank expert, Ba Ji Da Kuang Feng!"
"Pfft..." Yin Manman covered her mouth and burst into laughter. "Okay, okay, then you just have to read his name backward to know why I said you're an idiot!"
"Chen Jie is unfortunate to have a friend like you, an idiot. He doesn't deserve to die unjustly." With that, Yin Manman turned and left.
Jiang Xue, however, curiously whispered to herself, "Feng Kuang Da..."
Ah!
Jiang Xue suddenly let out a scream, her face flushing with embarrassment and shame.
Lin Mengjiao also blushed awkwardly.
Chen Jie just shook his head helplessly.
He had known this all along but didn't want to expose Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue clenched her fists, her face red, and gritted her teeth. "Chen Jie, I saw the video, he's really an expert."
"Alright, let's assume he's an expert. You stay with me. Don't wander too far from me, lest you get into danger," Chen Jie said helplessly.
Jiang Xue nodded, her face still red.
In the distance, on the high platform, Yin Chuji sat in the most prominent position.
"Brother!" Yin Manman came to his side and called out softly.
Yin Chuji glanced at Huang Jing and frowned. "Who is this?"
"Brother, this is my girlfriend, Huang Jing. I brought him here today to broaden his horizons." Yin Manman quickly explained.
"Hmm, since she's your girlfriend, it's fine to keep him happy. However, be careful not to let him be a blabbermouth and spread things about today. If he's a blabbermouth, just kill him," Yin Chuji said indifferently.
Huang Jing's face immediately turned pale with fear.
Yin Manman nodded. "Understood, brother."
Below, Chen Jie turned his head and happened to see this scene.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but look enlightened.
No wonder Yin Manman had suddenly transformed into a billionaire.
