From Zeng Xianyi's demeanor, it was clear that he did not suffer from dementia, which only indicated that this young man had a significant background. As for his strength, it seemed to be quite respectable. A young man in his twenties, no matter how gifted, could only reach the pinnacle of Transcendence. Zeng Xianyi's high regard for this young man likely stemmed from the powerful forces behind him. This kid might be a direct disciple of some Hidden Sect or a prominent family, Li Yang thought.
"If you want to know about Mr. Jiang's background, I really don't know much," Zeng Xianyi said with a smile. His understanding of Jiang Chen was entirely based on what Ye Xiaoying had told him; he only knew that Jiang Chen was formidable but had no idea about his origins. He hadn’t investigated either, as someone like Jiang Chen would not appreciate being scrutinized.
"Of course, it's convenient. In the future, I may need your help for my friends and family," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. Now that he had allied himself with the authorities, he naturally wanted to leverage their protection for his loved ones. While this protection might not be substantial, it was better than having none at all.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was about to reveal his background, everyone looked on with curiosity. Jiang Chen took out his identification card and handed it to Zeng Xianyi, saying, "Zeng Lao, if you want to know my background, it's simple. You can check my ID and access all my information from childhood to now."
"Ah? Mr. Jiang, you... you're actually the chairman of a company?" Zeng Xianyi exclaimed in disbelief. Someone like Jiang Chen should not be an ordinary person; he never expected him to be a company chairman as well.
"Isn't it normal for a chairman?" Jiang Chen chuckled.
Zeng Xianyi's expression showed doubt, but he accepted Jiang Chen's ID and had someone check it. Soon, all of Jiang Chen's information was transmitted over.
Jiang Chen's background appeared utterly ordinary; in fact, there wasn't even a hint of anything remarkable about him. He was just an exceptionally average young man who hadn’t even graduated high school and had been quite conventional in school.
Moreover, the photo on the ID clearly showed Jiang Chen himself.
"What's wrong? Zeng Lao, do you not believe this is me?" Seeing Zeng Xianyi flipping through the information with an odd expression, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"Uh, Mr. Jiang, your information shows such a stark contrast to your actual self; it's like night and day," Zeng Xianyi admitted honestly. He genuinely doubted whether Jiang Chen's identity was merely a facade.
"This is me. If you don't believe it, you can verify with my elementary school, middle school, high school, or even my neighbors," Jiang Chen said.
With Jiang Chen stating it so plainly, Zeng Xianyi had nothing more to say. If he were to verify and confirm that Jiang Chen was indeed this ordinary after all, he might just collapse from disbelief.
It was hard for anyone to accept that a peak martial artist who could overshadow the Hidden Sect had lived such an unremarkable life for twenty years.
"No need for verification; I naturally believe Mr. Jiang's words," Zeng Xianyi smiled, though his tone felt somewhat insincere.
"Haha, what does identity matter? We soldiers do not concern ourselves with noble or humble beginnings; as long as one has ability, even a beggar can earn respect. Qinglong, Mr. Jiang has traveled far; why don’t you raise a toast to him?" Li Yang said with a smile, his words laced with subtlety.
The burly man sitting next to Li Yang suddenly stood up and lifted the wine vessel towards Jiang Chen, saying, "Mr. Jiang, although you are young and have received such esteem from our superiors, you must possess extraordinary qualities. I won't say any flowery words; let me toast you three cups."
