We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

Ah Biao shook his head repeatedly.

"No! There's not a trace of internal energy fluctuation in him! He's just a normal person, relying purely on his physical strength!"

"Bullshit!" He Zhen kicked A Biao in the chest.

Ah Biao screamed and rolled several times on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He Zhen was so angry that he laughed instead.

"No internal energy whatsoever, yet you think you can crush the wrist bone of a peak Ming Jin cultivator with your bare hands? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"Unless he's a master of external martial arts specializing in transforming internal energy, how is that possible? How old is he?"

He Zhen concluded that A Biao was lying, or that the young man possessed some secret treasure that concealed his cultivation level.

How could a young person who has just entered university possibly have such ability?

He must be a disciple from some powerful force, out there training and using his secret treasure to play dumb in Jiangcheng.

On the stretcher, He Fei's face contorted in pain as he screamed hysterically.

"Dad! I don't care who he is! I want him dead! I want to tear him to pieces!"

"I'm going to take care of Xia Wanqiu right in front of him!"

He Zhen looked at his son and nodded with a pained expression.

"rest assured."

"Dare to mess with the He family? I'll make sure they never see the sun rise again!"

He Zhen turned his head and looked at the old man sitting in the first chair on the left side of the hall.

The old man, dressed in a gray Tang suit, had his eyes closed and was holding two iron clappers in his hands. The clappers clinked together, making a crisp sound.

He Tianba, the third elder of the He family, is a mid-stage master of internal strength.

"Third Elder," He Zhen said.

He Tianba opened his eyes and stopped panting Tie Dan's movements.

"The patriarch has given his orders."

"Take thirty of the family's elite men and bring that brat back to me," He Zhen said in a chilling tone.

"Whether they live or die, it doesn't matter."

He Tianba stood up, twisted his neck, and his bones made a "crackling" sound.

"clear."

"If anyone dares to lay a hand on a member of the He family, I will personally break their limbs, drag them back like a dead dog, and hand them over to the young master for punishment."

He Zhen nodded and added a sentence.

"Find out his background thoroughly. If he really has a powerful background, be careful not to leave any loose ends."

He Tianba sneered.

"In Jiangcheng, nobody cares about their background. Even if they're a dragon, they'll have to coil up before me!"

……

the other side.

Jiangcheng, Xingfuli residential community.

Lin Ye followed the old staircase back to his rented room on the fifth floor.

Pushing open the iron gate, the room was exactly as he had left it that morning.

Lin Ye threw the snakeskin bag on his shoulder into the corner, plopped down in a chair, and let out a long sigh.

"What kind of situation is this?"

In order to snag a lower bunk by the window, he didn't even bother to argue with the rich kid about getting his seventy-yuan T-shirt dirty, and rushed off to school.

As a result, the Academic Affairs Office's broken system malfunctioned.

The dormitory supervisor's words, "The keys will be distributed at 8 a.m. tomorrow," completely ruined his first day of college life.

Lin Ye took out his cracked-screen phone and ordered a braised chicken rice dish with two eggs.

While waiting for his takeout, he pressed the power button on the alien computer.

Since I can't stay in the dorm tonight, I'll just have to find some fun in games.

The computer boots up very quickly.

Lin Ye logged into "Nine Heavens Mystic Demon" with practiced ease.

As soon as I logged in, my screen was flooded with private messages and guild invitations.

He didn't even look at it, and just cleared everything with one click.

Controlling the "simple and unpretentious working man" dressed in black with +20 special effects, Lin Ye arrived at the central square of the main city.

In the very center of the square, a life-size, pure gold statue gleams with an opulent golden light.

Players were gathered in circles around the statue.

Some people are meditating, some are taking screenshots and photos, and others are spamming the current channel.

"Worship the super-rich!"

"I'll offer incense to the super-rich player and pray that I'll win big in my game today!"

"Does the big boss take on apprentices? The kind who can warm your bed!"

Lin Ye watched this scene and curled his lip.

The pure gold statue, paired with his all-black attire, made him look like a nouveau riche coal mine owner.

However, their vanity was greatly satisfied.

"This is what life is all about."

Lin Ye muttered something, then manipulated his character to jump onto the top of the statue's head and sat down cross-legged.

The delivery guy was knocking on the door downstairs.

Lin Ye slipped on her slippers to open the door, took the braised chicken rice, and grabbed a bottle of iced cola.

Back at his computer, he ate his meal while watching the players on the screen who were worshipping him.

My mood has finally improved a bit.

At the same time.

Inside a black van outside the Xingfuli residential area.

The eagle held a box of instant noodles, its eyes fixed on the monitor screen in front of it.

The screen showed Lin Ye eating and playing games in his rented room.

"call……"

The eagle slurped up a mouthful of instant noodles and let out a long sigh of relief.

"They've finally settled down."

The agent next to him, Xiao Wang, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Captain, you have to admit, Mr. Lin is really thick-skinned. He just crippled the eldest son of the He family's hand during the day, but when he came back at night, he acted like nothing had happened and was still playing games."

"If it were anyone else, they would probably have bought a train ticket and fled overnight."

The eagle glared at him.

"Run away? Have you ever seen a Tyrannosaurus Rex afraid of a few ants?"

"The He family does have some influence in Jiangcheng, but in front of Mr. Lin, they are nothing."

"I just hope those idiots in the He family will use their brains and not come looking for trouble. If they anger this man, our entire Jiangcheng branch will have to clean up his mess."

Xiao Wang nodded repeatedly.

"Should we go and give the He family a warning?"

"What nonsense!" Eagle said irritably. "The director said that Mr. Lin wants to experience the life of an ordinary person, and we can't interfere too much. As long as the He family doesn't use weapons of mass destruction, we'll pretend we didn't see anything."

"Besides, those rotten apples from the He family aren't even qualified to warm up Mr. Lin."

······

Night gradually fell.

The gates of the He Family Manor slowly opened.

Fifteen black Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars, lined up in a long, single file, drove out of the manor.

In the lead car, He Tianba sat in the passenger seat, still fiddling with the two iron balls in his hands.

"Third Elder, the investigation is complete."

The driver respectfully reported.

"That kid's name is Lin Ye. He's a recent high school graduate who got into Jiangcheng College of Arts and Sciences."

"His background is clean; his parents are ordinary workers who have always farmed and worked odd jobs in their hometown. This kid went out to work during the summer vacation and just returned to Jiangcheng today."

"I now live in the Xingfuli residential area in the old city."

He Tianba paused for a moment while holding the iron gall bladder.

"No other background information?"

"Absolutely not," the driver replied firmly. "We used all available resources and checked everything thoroughly."

He Tianba sneered.

"A nobody with no connections dares to cripple our He family's eldest son."

"I really don't know how to write the word 'death'."

He put the iron gall into his pocket and closed his eyes.

"Drive faster."

"If we finish our business early, we can still make it back in time for a late-night snack."

More than a dozen Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars sped along the wide road, heading straight for the Xingfuli residential area.
