"Thank you, brother-in-law. It's so great to have a brother-in-law like me," Jiang Chen said happily.
Jiang Qingcheng smiled but didn't say anything. She knew her younger brother was always like this; he was very sweet-talking when he needed something from someone.
"Let's go, your brother-in-law will go to that richest man's house right now and help you rescue Rongrong," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
Gu Changqing and his group then did not waste any more time and immediately set off for the richest man's house.
In less than a breath, Gu Changqing and his group arrived at the richest man's house.
From the outside, the richest man's house was decorated in a very grand and luxurious style. Every brick and tile was very particular, showing that a lot of effort had been put into it. And it must be said, the richest man's family was indeed incredibly wealthy, worthy of being the richest man in the city.
Without saying a word, Gu Changqing was about to walk inside.
Before they could even step inside, an arm suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by a sharp blade blocking their path.
A voice rang out: "No unauthorized personnel allowed. This is not a restaurant or tavern; it's not a place for just anyone."
Jiang frowned, and said with dissatisfaction, "Open your dog eyes! I was just here yesterday, and there was quite a commotion in the manor. If you know what's good for you, let us in today, or you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"Oh, so you're the one who disrupted our master's wedding. My master specifically instructed that you be allowed in." The gatekeeper suddenly realized and immediately sheathed his sword.
"You're lucky you know what's good for you, otherwise you'd be a corpse by now," Jiang Chen said with a cold laugh, his tone calm and collected.
He wasn't joking. If the gatekeeper hadn't let him in, he wouldn't have been so easy to talk to; he would have slapped him into a bloody mess long ago.
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper was startled. Fortunately, he escaped unharmed; otherwise, he, the gatekeeper, might have already lost his life on the spot. This young man's strength was extraordinary, and if a fight broke out, he would have no chance of winning.
Gu Changqing and his group then entered the richest man's house without any problems.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard laughter and shouts of cursing and swearing. The language was so foul it was unbearable to read.
Jiang Chen frowned and said irritably, "It's disgusting that you don't know how to behave in broad daylight. It's torture for Rongrong to stay here even a little longer."
"Jiang Chen, don't worry, your brother-in-law and I will definitely not let your Rongrong stay here for even a moment longer," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile, immediately reassuring him.
"Okay, I understand, sister." Jiang Chen nodded.
Following the sound, Gu Changqing and his team quickly found its source.
In a courtyard, a group of beautiful women with fair skin, long legs, pert faces, and slender waists were seen. Each of them wore a thin veil, almost like see-through clothing, revealing glimpses of their bodies. They swayed their bodies and danced captivating dance moves. Each of them was charming and graceful, as beautiful and colorful as a rose, making it hard to look away.
Especially her snow-white skin, like a flawless piece of jade, warm and delicate, making people unable to resist taking a second look.
Looking to the side, one could see a man dressed in a fine blue brocade robe not far away, staring lecherously at the group of fair-skinned and beautiful women, his mouth practically watering.
And this man was none other than the old man Jiang Chen had mentioned.
Gu Changqing smiled slightly and clapped his hands, saying, "Wonderful, truly wonderful! Your family's life is incredibly rich and colorful. I've also had a good look at it."
"Who are you?" the richest man asked in confusion.
"I am Gu Changqing, Jiang Chen's brother-in-law," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, introducing himself generously.
"Who is Jiang Chen? I don't remember him," the richest man said, looking completely bewildered.
"I don't remember. I caused a huge scene in your mansion yesterday. You really have a bad memory, don't you? You don't even remember me." Jiang Chen pouted and said irritably.
"Oh, I remember now, it's you, kid. How come you're here so quickly? Did you invite your sect leader?" The richest man suddenly realized and asked.
"Our sect leader is currently in seclusion and cannot come," Jiang Chen said truthfully.
"Since your sect leader isn't here, there's no point in you coming. Please leave!" the richest man said with a displeased expression.
"I can leave, but I have to take Rongrong with me," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, his tone serious.
"That won't do." The richest man immediately objected.
"Why not? You already have so many women, can't you just let Rongrong go?" Jiang Chen asked, his brows furrowed and his face full of doubt.
"What do you want in exchange for releasing Miss Rongrong? How many spirit stones do you want? Just name your price," Jiang Qingcheng said with a slight smile.
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! I am the richest man in the city. Would I lack spirit stones? Little girl, you've got the wrong idea." The richest man laughed and said disdainfully.
As the richest man in the world, he has no shortage of spirit stones. Trying to bribe him with spirit stones is absolutely impossible.
"Since you don't care about spirit stones, let's be frank and tell each other what you really want," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, getting straight to the point.
"Didn't I say before that I wanted to see your sect leader?" the richest man said dismissively.
"Then why is it necessary to see the sect leader? Can't I see anyone else in the sect?" Jiang Chen asked irritably.
"Can others make the decisions? Do they have enough influence?" the richest man asked.
“Although my brother-in-law isn’t the sect leader, he’s still quite powerful. He’s the sect’s chief disciple and the strongest in the sect,” Jiang Chen said earnestly.
"Heh, you say you're from the Qingyun Sect, and I'll believe you? How can you prove it? I only let you go because of the Qingyun Sect. If you're lying to me, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?" The richest man said warily.
"That's easy. People from my Qingyun Sect all have special markings. I'll show them to you right now," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
After saying that, he took out the token engraved with the Qingyun Sect's mark from his waist.
"How do I know if your tokens are real or fake?" the richest man asked with a suspicious look.
"What the hell? Are you kidding me? Are you playing me for a fool? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Jiang Chen was furious upon hearing this and said angrily.
Damn, he'd never been treated like a monkey before.
"I thought you wanted to befriend the Qingyun Sect, but it seems I was wrong. The reason you released Jiang Chen yesterday was just to show off to the Qingyun Sect, not to make friends. How could the Qingyun Sect tolerate someone like you looking down on us?" Gu Changqing said with a cold laugh.
"Hahaha, what a bunch of fools! Let me tell you the truth, even if your sect leader really came, I wouldn't easily agree to your request, because I have a grudge against you." The richest man laughed and said arrogantly.
