"Buying into Bitcoin? Jiang Chen, this thing..." Gong Lin's voice of skepticism came through the phone.

Without waiting for Gong Lin to finish, Jiang Chen interrupted, "Gong Lin, listen to me, buy!"

"This… alright then!" Gong Lin reluctantly agreed.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I am confident. Besides, you should also take a good rest. Invest all of the company's available liquid funds, and you can be at ease just handling the incoming tasks. No need to rack your brains looking for projects anymore, take a good break!"

"I… I'm fine!" Gong Lin's voice carried a touch of emotion.

"You're fine! I'm distressed!" Jiang Chen spoke tenderly.

There was a moment of silence on the phone, then Gong Lin's happy voice came through, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"Good, I've got something here. I'll come home early tonight, you go back early too, I want to eat your cooking!" Jiang Chen said with a light smile.

"Okay, I'll go home early and cook for you!" Gong Lin said joyfully.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a complex expression. He couldn't make any promises to Gong Lin at the moment, but at the very least, he could make her happier for a bit. As for the future… Jiang Chen had a somewhat uncertain decision in mind!

With that thought, he had arrived at his destination. Then, a Knight XV stopped in front of a large manor.

"Young Master!" Xuan Long and his companion were already waiting at the manor's entrance.

Jiang Chen stepped off the car with an icy expression and nodded at Xuan Long and the other, then turned his head to the manor's guards and spoke coldly, "Tell Lin Zhenggang to come out here!"

"Kid, are you freaking tired of living, daring to call our Family Head by his name directly? You're looking for death!" the guard shouted, stepping up to Jiang Chen with a cold voice, "Apologize immediately, or I'll make you..."

Bang!

The guard's words were cut off as Jiang Chen fiercely kicked the guard in the stomach.

Thud!

The guard's body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, and crashed to the ground at the manor's entrance!

Xuan Long and his companion were taken aback; they had wanted to act, but before they could, the guard had already been sent flying, and they hadn't even seen how Jiang Chen struck!

Both were shocked and then angry — shocked at how much stronger Jiang Chen's skills had become compared to theirs, and angry because it seemed the Lin Family had provoked Jiang Chen. Otherwise, after so many times, Jiang Chen rarely took action himself anymore!

If the lord is insulted, his subjects must die!

When Jiang Chen was provoked, it was a failure of their protection.

This time, without needing Jiang Chen's command, Xuan Long and his companion leaped forward and charged toward the other several guards at the entrance of the manor.

Jiang Chen's eyes icily fixed on the manor's gates as he walked forward. Although he wasn't yet able to annihilate the Four Great Aristocratic Families completely, he had to make them understand that offending him came with a corresponding price.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the manor's three-meter-high iron gates were kicked down fiercely by Jiang Chen!

Meanwhile, having dealt with the several guards, Xuan Long and his companion arrived behind Jiang Chen, following him into the manor.

"Who? Who dares to cause trouble at the Lin Family's mansion? Do they not wish to live?" A loud shout arose as a squad of Lin Family guards rushed over.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Xuan Long and his companion instantly charged out.

By the time Jiang Chen walked past those guards, none could stand up again.

And so it went; Jiang Chen and his two companions fought their way from the estate's front gate directly to the back, traversing the entire estate and locating Lin Zhenggang and others in a pavilion just inside the back door. Lin Yuechong and Li Susu were also there.

"Jiang Chen!" Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Li Susu's body trembled as she cried out in alarm.

"Jiang Chen, what do you think you're doing?" Lin Zhenggang's face darkened as he spoke, "You actually dare to storm into my house? Do you want to completely fall out with the Four Great Aristocratic Families?"

"Completely fall out? Ha!" Jiang Chen laughed coldly, "Lin Zhenggang, you still have the cheek to say that? You want to kill me yet stand here accusing me of falling out with you—your skin is truly thick!"

Lin Zhenggang's brows furrowed, and he said in a heavy tone, "What do you mean?"

"Jiang Chen!" Li Susu's face changed color. She knew that Lin Zhenggang was not aware of the plot against Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen revealed it, Lin Yuechong would certainly be punished, and she herself might not be able to follow Lin Yuechong anymore.

Shouting to stop Jiang Chen from speaking, Li Susu stepped over to his side and said in a low voice, "Jiang Chen, this is the Lin Family mansion, not a place for you to cause trouble. You've already offended the Yue Family, if you offend the Lin Family too, you're as good as dead. Leave quickly!"

Jiang Chen laughed coldly, "Li Susu, stop playing the good person here. I originally thought this matter was only the Lin Family's doing, but now it seems you can't separate yourself from it either, can you?"

"You... what do you mean? I'm kindly helping you, yet you..." Li Susu's face changed, and she rebuked him sharply.

"Enough!" Jiang Chen shouted lowly, "Kindly helping? Spare me. And who said I'm as good as dead? Ha, Li Susu, people like you wouldn't understand that there is another kind of power in this world. Today, I'll let you see—who dares to touch me!"

"You..." Li Susu's face paled, knowing she couldn't stop him anymore, and she shot Jiang Chen a fierce glare before turning to look at Lin Yuechong.

"Family Head Lin, are you sure you don't know what happened?" Noticing Li Susu's gaze, Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Yuechong, then turned to Lin Zhenggang.

Lin Zhenggang frowned and said, "Jiang Chen, I admit we Four Great Aristocratic Families are indeed targeting Yi Chen, but we handle business matters in the business realm. You, relying on the strength of a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster Martial Artist to storm our doorstep, have lost all reason. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Martial Alliance?"

"Heavenly Peak Grandmaster Martial Artist?!" Lin Yuechong cried out in astonishment, staring at Jiang Chen with a shocked expression.

Lin Zhenggang nodded, "Yes, he is a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster Martial Artist; he's the one who killed Fang Tianze! Although, it seems he also killed Yue Long a couple of days ago."

"He... he killed Yue Long?" Lin Yuechong suddenly stiffened, turning his gaze to fix sternly on Li Susu.

Li Susu's complexion shifted, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Yuechong's eyes.

"It seems you truly don't know, but if it's not you who knows, then it must be you!" Jiang Chen turned to look at Li Susu, "Was it you who had the Lin Family's antique store cause trouble?"

"No, not me!" Li Susu said, her face pale as she shook her head.

"If not you, then who?" Jiang Chen's eyes bore a deeper meaning as he looked at Li Susu. This woman had repeatedly helped his enemies to trouble him; although he had spared her over and over for Gong Lin's sake, since she refused to repent, then she couldn't blame him for not being polite any longer!

"I... I... I don't have the power to command the Lin Family's antique shop!" Li Susu argued anxiously.

"I'm asking you, if not you, then who?" Jiang Chen bellowed.

Lin Yuechong shivered uncontrollably, involuntarily taking a step back.
