Yang Ziyang was in the same challenge scenario as him.

Now he's in the Ye family's car. Could it be that he saw something back then?

Jiang Che frowned deeply, even his heartbeat accelerated.

Ye Changqing has a C-level Uncanny within him...

Most of the people he brought today are F-level or E-level, with few D-levels, but several possess ghostly spirits.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

It's not wise to act alone, but if he could find a chance to face Ye Changqing one-on-one...

With Xiaoman's help, he should be able to take down Ye Changqing.

Then the remaining people wouldn't be a threat.

Perhaps influenced by the Mystic World, Jiang Che's thoughts grew darker...

He even considered wiping out the entire Ye family.

No matter what, Jiang Che believed he was not in the wrong.

If Ye Qingyao could attack him for the reward, she could also kill him for it.

Ordinary rewards are fixed, but challenge task rewards are not.

The more people complete it, the more the reward diminishes.

Some challenge tasks can only be completed by one person.

Given Ye Qingyao's personality, there's no room for reconciliation between them.

Even if he gave up the reward and didn't kill Ye Qingyao.

Once back in the real world, Ye Qingyao wouldn't let it go, since he had "killed" her once.

From the moment Ye Qingyao first attacked him, this troublesome outcome was inevitable.

If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. From today on, I must be ruthless!

...

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, someone flicked his forehead.

Unknowingly, they had already arrived at the doorstep.

Jiang Wan squinted her eyes and said, "Come on, sis is cooking today."

Snapping back to reality, Jiang Che grinned.

His sister might seem fierce on the outside, but she has a heart of gold.

After losing their parents, she sacrificed so much to take care of him...

He mustn't let his issues with the Ye family involve her.

Just as Jiang Che was about to speak, someone hurried over.

"Jiang Che! So you live here too," a short guy greeted with a smile.

... This guy looks familiar?

Jiang Che frowned, "You... are, Zhuge Qing?"

'Zhuge?' A subtle change flickered in Jiang Wan's eyes.

"???" Zhuge Ye rolled his eyes, "Jiang Che, you're so funny. Watched too much 'Under One Person'? I'm Zhuge Ye."

At this, Jiang Wan laughed, "Xiao Che, is this your classmate?"

Jiang Che: "No..."

Zhuge Ye: "Of course, Jiang Che, is this the sister you always talk about? She's really beautiful!"

Jiang Che: "???"

Hearing this, Jiang Wan blushed and said, "Xiao Che, what nonsense have you been saying outside?"

Jiang Che: "I..."

Zhuge Ye quickly waved his hand, "Oh sister~ Jiang Che wasn't lying, you're truly beautiful. If I had a sister like you, I'd wake up laughing every day."

Jiang Wan covered her mouth, chuckling, "Oh, don't say that. Have you had dinner? If not, join us."

Zhuge Ye smiled, "That would be embarrassing, but thinking of eating a meal cooked by a beauty, I can't refuse."

"You're too kind. I'll go prepare," Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Che and instructed, "What are you standing there for? Go buy a drink and come up with Zhuge Qing."

"..." Zhuge Ye's mouth twitched, "My name is Zhuge Ye."

Jiang Wan giggled, "Don't mind the details, Zhuge. You two hurry up."

With that, Jiang Wan went upstairs.

At this moment, Jiang Che looked at Zhuge Ye as if he'd seen a ghost, "Dude, with a sweet mouth like that, do you have diabetes?"

Zhuge Ye: "Hmm? How did you know?"

Jiang Che took a deep breath, "We're not that close, are we?"

"Once a stranger, twice a friend."

Zhuge Ye tried to put his arm around Jiang Che, but Jiang Che brushed it off.

"Get to the point or get lost!" Jiang Che was a bit impatient.

He already had enough on his mind.

He had hoped to spend some quality time with his sister, just the two of them.

Have a drink, chat a bit.

But then this Zhuge Qing showed up?

Oh no, Zhuge Dali?

Or whatever... Who cares what Zhuge he is!

However, Zhuge Ye, like a stubborn mule, kept smiling, "Jiang Che, don't be so irritable. Be patient~ I'm actually here to help you."

Jiang Che frowned, "Help me? Find me a girlfriend? A 36* one?"

Zhuge Ye was taken aback, "Well... I could talk to my girlfriend, see if she could keep you company for a few days?"

Jiang Che: "Don't bring up inflatable things."

Zhuge Ye chuckled shyly, "Don't joke~ I'm really here to help you, to solve your urgent problem."

Jiang Che: "..."

Zhuge Ye looked Jiang Che in the eye, suddenly serious, "Ye Qingyao was the Ye family's precious daughter, Ye Changqing's only child. Now that she's been killed, Ye Changqing won't rest."

Jiang Che shrugged, "What's that got to do with me?"

Zhuge Ye continued, "The Ye family insists Ye Qingyao was murdered, and the suspect is either you, Wang Defa, or Yang Ziyang."

"I won't say much about Wang Defa's situation, you know it well. So, either you or Yang Ziyang is the killer! But, Yang Ziyang only completed the main task, while you completed the challenge task."

"Completing the main task rarely causes conflict, but conflicts often arise in challenge tasks."

"So, even without evidence, the Ye family will pin the murder on you!"

Jiang Che's expression darkened, "So what? You said there's no evidence."

At this point, Zhuge Ye suddenly gave a sly smile, "Don't worry, even if Ye Changqing is determined to kill a thousand wrongly rather than let one go, we have ways to deal with it."

Jiang Che remained silent.

He knew better than anyone who the killer was.

But suddenly, this Zhuge guy shows up claiming to help him, it's hard to trust.

He might even be a smokescreen sent by the Ye family.

Seeing Jiang Che's silence, Zhuge Ye continued, "Dude, I never said you're the killer, I'm just deducing based on the current situation. Regardless, you're in danger now."

"So?" Jiang Che asked.

Zhuge Ye chuckled.

Then he made a throat-slitting gesture and whispered, "Take him out! Crisis solved!"

"I've been thinking about this for a month, no need to thank me, it's my duty."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Jiang Che rolled his eyes, "Are you the one borrowing arrows on a straw boat?"

Zhuge Ye: "Hmm?"

Jiang Che headed towards the supermarket without looking back, not wanting to deal with this Zhuge Qing, oh, Zhuge Ye.

But Zhuge Ye clung to Jiang Che, chattering non-stop.

Couldn't shake him off!

Even Xiaoman couldn't hold back anymore.

Xiaoman: "Can I tear his mouth off?"

Jiang Che: "..., forget it, let's keep it low-key in public."

At the supermarket.

Seeing Jiang Che grab a bottle of Sprite, Zhuge Ye immediately shouted.

"I don't want Sprite, Coke, get Coke!"

"Coke tastes better than Sprite, no arguments!"

Jiang Che glared, "How about I get you a bottle of Old Village Chief, with some cephalosporin?"

Zhuge Ye: "Hmm? Is that a new way to drink?"

Jiang Che facepalmed...

Then, Zhuge Ye whispered, "Actually, I have another idea."

Jiang Che: "What?"

Zhuge Ye: "I want Coke."

"..."

Jiang Che sighed helplessly.

"Boss, switch it for a Coke..."
