Xiao Chen's Helpless Rage

"Go change your clothes..."

"Let's make a trip to Sunshine Orphanage and see how the demolition work is progressing..."

Jiang Che reached out and ruffled Shen Yuxuan's Little Head as he spoke with a smile.

He would make another trip to Sunshine Orphanage, harvest another wave of Xiao Chen's Emotion Points, and it was about time to take this King of Soldiers off the board.

After all, the miracle doctor and Wild Dragon were about to come down from the mountain, and with school starting soon, Jiang Che would not have time to keep playing house with Xiao Chen.

Jiang Che had a feeling that Linjiang University would definitely have no shortage of protagonists.

There would be all sorts of them: cash-back-for-spending-on-women, goddess-conquest systems, freshmen starting school in Lamborghinis, military training where the protagonist was a retired soldier, security-guard killing gods, Dragon King barbecue stalls, and all kinds of other variations.

Even the course instructors themselves might have the destiny of a Child of Destiny.

After all, in his previous life, Jiang Che had read countless urban webnovels with every imaginable trope.

He was actually rather looking forward to it.

The more Children of Destiny there were, the more Emotion Points he could harvest. Naturally, that was a good thing for him.

With his status as the Crown Prince of Jiang Prefecture, what did Jiang Che have to fear in this little corner of Jiangzhou Province?

As long as it was not some Northern Border God of War returning with immense power and command over a million troops, Jiang Che could crush anyone with ease.

"Senior... why do you care so much about the orphanage?"

Shen Yuxuan blinked her starry eyes and asked in confusion, her bright gaze fixed on Jiang Che.

In Shen Yuxuan's mind, Jiang Che ought to be the sort of busy man who handled countless affairs every day.

During the past few days she had lived at Qingteng Villa, Jiang Che had always left early and returned late, looking as though he were quite busy.

That was why she found it a little strange when Jiang Che suddenly mentioned going to the orphanage.

"Because Sunshine Orphanage is your home. Of course your senior should care about it..."

Jiang Che spoke calmly, as if he were merely stating something utterly ordinary. His peach-blossom eyes rested on Shen Yuxuan before him.

Because... it was my home?

Hearing Jiang Che's answer, Shen Yuxuan's pretty face flushed. Even her delicate, tender earlobes turned crimson as her heart raced wildly.

How could senior say something like that? It was so embarrassing!

Did this count as some unconventional way of confessing?

In that instant, all sorts of romance novel tropes she had read before surfaced in Shen Yuxuan's mind, and she thought of countless possibilities.

"I... I'm going to change..."

After stammering out those words, Shen Yuxuan ran off with a red face and vanished in a flash.

Shen Yuxuan was still far too easily embarrassed. Just one casual remark from Jiang Che could stir ripples in her heart and awaken her budding affection.

[Shen Yuxuan's heart fluttered. Emotion Points +3344...]

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Jiang Che secretly laughed and licked his lips with excitement.

Today, he would have Shen Yuxuan personally strike a blow against the King of Soldiers. Tonight would be the time to reap the fruits of victory.

The little white rabbit was adorably sweet and utterly tempting.

Beside him, Xiao Yi sat upright on the sofa, swinging her beautiful legs clad in white stockings as she watched TV intently.

Seeing Shen Yuxuan's retreating figure as she fled in embarrassment, Xiao Yi silently shook her head. She too felt that the girl was overly shy and reserved.

Though she too sometimes found it hard to control herself after being teased by her Young Master, she would never have reacted as strongly as Shen Yuxuan.

At this moment, at Sunshine Orphanage.

Xiao Chen endured the pain in his body and took out the last hundred yuan in cash he had, giving it to the taxi driver. Only after paying the fare did he get out.

In the past, with Xiao Chen's attitude of heaven first and himself second, he might have brazenly taken a free ride. Now, however, he did not have the slightest thought of doing so.

A lesson learned the hard way was wisdom gained.

If he got dragged into the Police Station again over some trivial nonsense like this, he would cry himself to death.

Although he was penniless now, it was only temporary.

As long as he charged his phone, he could contact his brothers overseas at any time and have them launder some money over for him to spend.

With those thoughts in mind, Xiao Chen furrowed his brows, doing his best to control his expression as he limped toward the orphanage he remembered.

Though he had not returned in six years, Sunshine Orphanage was, after all, the place that had raised him. Xiao Chen still had feelings for it.

After walking another hundred paces or so and finally seeing the orphanage clearly, Xiao Chen froze in confusion.

Why had Sunshine Orphanage been demolished?

Where were Grandma Director and little sister Yuxuan?

For no reason at all, a burst of nameless fury rose within Xiao Chen. He felt unbearably irritated as he strode forward, stopped a man who looked like a construction foreman, and asked in a low voice.

"Who told you to tear down the orphanage?!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Are you sick or something?!"

"This is an active construction site. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in. It's dangerous, so leave immediately!"

The foreman had been stopped out of nowhere and impatiently urged him to leave.

"Answer me!"

Xiao Chen's face darkened, his voice icy. A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, sending chills down one's spine.

Over the past six years, Xiao Chen had killed no fewer than eight hundred, if not a thousand, people in Africa. Countless more had died indirectly because of him. He carried an innate aura of slaughter that this foreman simply could not withstand.

"I-It's... Changhong Construction Co., Ltd..."

The foreman was nearly scared stiff, answering in a trembling voice as he swallowed fearfully.

Oh my god, this young man's eyes were terrifying!

"Changhong Construction Co., Ltd.?"

"Why are you forcibly demolishing the Orphanage?"

Xiao Chen's tone turned even colder. He grabbed the foreman by the throat and demanded in a low voice, tightening his grip. Before long, the foreman's face had turned red as he struggled to breathe.

"M-Misunderstanding... We're demolishing and rebuilding the Orphanage, not forcibly tearing it down..."

A fear of death swept through the foreman's entire body. It took all his strength just to force out a complete sentence.

"Rebuilding?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned. He abruptly released his grip and threw the foreman to the ground, signaling for him to explain himself clearly.

"Cough, cough..."

The foreman coughed violently several times. Rather than answering Xiao Chen, he raised his voice and shouted toward someone behind him, his trembling voice carrying a hint of tears.

"Boss Jiang, save me!"

"Someone's trying to murder me!"

When he saw Jiang Che arrive with a group of black-clad bodyguards, the foreman looked as though he had found a savior. He scrambled up from the ground and staggered behind the crowd.

Changhong Construction Co., Ltd. was a company under the Rainbow Charity Foundation.

As such, the foreman had occasionally seen Jiang Che before and naturally remembered this big boss well.

Upon hearing the title Boss Jiang, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Xiao Chen's heart.

Damn it, why did he keep feeling that the Boss Jiang this fat bastard mentioned was Jiang Che, that damned scumbag?

It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

With a jumble of emotions in his heart, Xiao Chen turned around, wanting to see just who this Boss Jiang was.

The moment he saw the situation before him clearly, Xiao Chen's pupils shrank sharply. Rage surged through his heart, and he gritted his teeth, on the verge of going mad!
