Chapter 25 - The Protagonist Apologizing to Someone?

“Is that how you apologize to someone?” Shen Qingqiu’s eyes hardened, and her tone grew colder, her powerful internal energy palpably radiating around her.

Jiang Che watched from a distance, slightly distancing himself from Shen Qingqiu, finding her quite intimidating at the moment.

“I…” Ye Chen, startled by Shen Qingqiu’s demeanor, hurriedly approached Ah Long and began to apologize sincerely. “Brother, it’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have attacked you without understanding the situation. Please don’t hold it against me.”

“Sure thing, sure thing. I usually don’t hold grudges against kids,” Ah Long replied with a playful tone, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen clenched his fists tighter, realizing Ah Long was faking his injuries.

“Ding, host has successfully orchestrated Ye Chen’s public apology, causing a mental breakdown for Ye Chen. Luck Value -1000, awarding host 2000 villain points.”

“This works too?” Jiang Che was somewhat baffled. It seemed he had overestimated Ye Chen; a man should be able to bend and stretch, but apologizing made Ye Chen lose his composure completely. He wondered how such a character became the protagonist.

“Brother Xiao Che, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not managing him properly,” Shen Qingqiu turned to Jiang Che, her tone sincere, her cheeks flushed with apology. The incident with Ye Chen had sobered her up significantly.

“Ah Long, this is a ‘Nourishing Essence Pill’ for healing your injuries. Please take it,” Shen Qingqiu took out a small blue porcelain bottle and handed it to Ah Long.

“This…” Ah Long hesitated as he looked at Jiang Che, clearly wanting to accept the medicine but not daring to do so without Jiang Che’s permission.

“Take it, it’s what you deserve. You shouldn’t have to suffer a beating for nothing,” Jiang Che said.

“Alright… Thank you, President Shen,” Ah Long responded, promptly sitting down to meditate and recover after taking the medicine from Shen Qingqiu.

“Senior Sister…” Ye Chen approached Shen Qingqiu, seeming to have something more to say.

“What else do you want? If there’s nothing else, leave now!” Shen Qingqiu spoke impatiently.

She had completely lost any good feelings towards her junior brother. If not for their shared apprenticeship, she would have told him to leave a long time ago due to his constant troublemaking.

“But…” Ye Chen started.

“But what? Haven’t you caused enough trouble? Go back now!” Shen Qingqiu’s voice was icy, her gaze filled with a chilling sternness. It seemed as if she was ready to discipline her junior brother if he dared to utter a word of protest.

“Alright.” Ye Chen didn’t dare to argue and turned to walk towards the roadside, his figure looking somewhat forlorn.

…

“Xiao Che Brother, I didn’t scare you just now, did I?” Shen Qingqiu turned to Jiang Che and asked.

She was concerned that her behavior might have left a negative impression on Jiang Che, perhaps making him think she was too domineering.

“No, I think you’re pretty cool, like a female knight,” Jiang Che replied, shaking his head with a light-hearted laugh. He appreciated Shen Qingqiu’s assertiveness.

If she had been nothing more than a beautiful vase, it would have lowered his opinion of her. But as it turned out, Shen Qingqiu was not that kind of person.

She possessed not only great martial skills and intelligence but also stunning beauty, rightfully earning the title of Linjiang’s first beauty CEO. In the future, she might even be needed to maintain peace in his “backyard.”

“Stop teasing me~” Shen Qingqiu playfully clung to Jiang Che’s arm, acting coquettishly and persistently.

“I’ll warn him about this tomorrow. He definitely won’t do such things again,” Shen Qingqiu promised Jiang Che.

“Does he really listen to you that much?” Jiang Che asked curiously. He thought Ye Chen’s behavior today was quite unusual since protagonists are typically fearless and defiant, not the type to apologize to a villain like him.

“Of course, I’m his senior sister. Not just him, my six junior sisters also listen to me,” Shen Qingqiu said with a bit of pride.

“You have six junior sisters?” Jiang Che feigned extreme surprise, though inside he wasn’t particularly moved. He knew Shen Qingqiu had six junior sisters, and Lin Xiyao was one of them.

“Yes, I’ll introduce you to them sometime. For now, let’s head home. I already called, someone should be here in about five minutes.”

…

“Master…” Soon after, a line of Bentleys parked at the roadside, and a group of men in black approached Jiang Che respectfully.

“Leave one car for us and take Ah Long to the hospital first for treatment,” Jiang Che instructed, glancing at Ah Long, who was meditating.

The pill Shen Qingqiu provided could only heal internal injuries; external injuries needed hospital treatment.

“Understood, Master.” The men in black didn’t hesitate. They quickly loaded Ah Long into one of the Bentleys and headed straight to the hospital.
