Chapter 55: Isn’t It Reasonable for a Villain to Threaten Others?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che, accompanied by Ah Long, headed straight to the cold storage in the eastern part of the city.

An hour later, they arrived. The security guard, recognizing the young master’s car, allowed them entry without question.

“What are we doing here, young master?” Ah Long asked, puzzled.

“You’ll see soon enough. Get a water hose first,” Jiang Che replied with a mysterious smile.

“Alright.” Without further questioning, Ah Long fetched a hose and followed Jiang Che into the cold storage.

Given the harsh requirements for Winter Ling Grass growth and the summer heat, the storage was maintained at a bone-chilling negative twenty degrees Celsius.

Jiang Che immediately felt a piercing cold upon entering and quickly circulated his internal energy to ward off the chill.

“Young master, the temperature here is too low; the hose is frozen,” Ah Long reported, smiling wryly.

“Use your head. Can’t you use your internal energy to melt the ice in the hose?” Jiang Che looked at Ah Long, somewhat exasperated by his lack of initiative.

Embarrassed, Ah Long turned red and scolded himself for his stupidity. He then went to the hose and used his internal energy to thaw the ice within.

“Young master... We have water now. What should we do next?”

“Alright, let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we won’t produce it. It’s not like we have anything to lose,” he decided.

“That’s great. I’ll go to the Jiang family this afternoon to buy some Winter Ling Grass and test the effects,” Lin Zhentian said, making plans to move forward.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Che, having completed his task at the cold storage, was heading towards a luxurious residential area in the city center with Ah Long.

Sky Garden District, 8 PM.

Lin Jiahao, after a long day at Lin Corporation, returned home. As he parked his car and walked to his apartment building, he was suddenly pulled into a Maybach by a man in black.

“Don’t scream, or I’ll shoot you!” Ah Long threatened, pressing a gun against Lin Jiahao’s forehead.

Terrified, Lin Jiahao swallowed hard and nervously complied.

“Ah Long, put the gun away. Let’s not scare our guest,” Jiang Che casually ordered from the passenger seat, puffing out a ring of smoke.

Ah Long reluctantly put the gun away but kept a vigilant eye on Lin Jiahao, ready to react at any sign of trouble.

“May I ask... who are you?” Lin Jiahao stammered, his forehead dripping with sweat and his legs trembling in fear.

“Don’t be afraid. Let me introduce myself first. I am Jiang Che, the young master of the Jiang family,” Jiang Che turned around to face Lin Jiahao, smiling amiably. However, to Lin Jiahao, this smile seemed menacing.
