A few minutes later, Yao Bao finished his meal.
"Check, please." Jiang Chen tossed a thousand dollars to the waiter. "Keep the change as a tip."
The waiter was overjoyed; the meal barely cost a thousand dollars, and the tip was several hundred dollars more—more than a month's salary for him. How could he not be happy?
Ten minutes later, Yao Bao led Jiang Chen to a grand villa estate. The estate was imposing and luxurious, surrounded by high walls, with several armed guards stationed at the entrance.
Jiang Chen walked steadily towards the estate, ignoring the guards at the gate as if they were air.
"Who are you?" One of the guards stepped forward, blocking Jiang Chen's path and coldly asked.
"I’m here to see General Wang Meng," Jiang Chen replied casually.
"Did General Wang Meng invite you? If not, you can't enter. Please leave immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude," the guard said, becoming alert as he raised his rifle and glared at Jiang Chen.
Without saying another word, Jiang Chen continued walking forward. This infuriated the guards, who were about to open fire when a surge of energy radiated from Jiang Chen, transforming into wind blades that sliced through the guards' hands, causing their rifles to clatter to the ground.
"Inner Energy unleashed! He... he is the Master of Transformation?" The guards were utterly shocked.
Next, Jiang Chen reached out and gently pushed against the heavy iron gate. It flew open as if struck by an immense force.
The commotion at the entrance triggered alarms throughout the estate. Inside, Wang Meng, who had been enjoying a cigar, was startled and hurriedly rushed towards the entrance with his men.
Wang Meng stormed in with fury. Upon seeing Jiang Chen surrounded by his guards, his face darkened to an extreme.
"What are you waiting for? Shoot him!" Wang Meng shouted in exasperation; how dare someone cause trouble in his territory!
Gunfire erupted, but Jiang Chen remained standing without flinching. Yao Bao stood beside him, terrified and crouched on the ground. After a barrage of gunfire, he cautiously lifted his head only to be stunned.
The bullets hung suspended in mid-air as if an invisible force held them in place.
Wang Meng stared in disbelief; he thought he was dreaming. It was impossible for bullets to simply stop in mid-air.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Jiang Chen sent the bullets back along their original path, killing all of Wang Meng's subordinates.
In less than ten seconds, Wang Meng found himself alone, staring at his fallen men in shock.
"Spare me!" Wang Meng quickly knelt down; it was too late for mercy now.
"Spare you? On what grounds?" Jiang Chen asked coolly. This wasn’t his home country; in a place like this, he had no qualms about killing.
"I’ll give you access to Kunshan's vault!" Wang Meng hurriedly offered.
"Killing you means that vault is mine too!" Jiang Chen replied.
"Please, please! I still have two Huaxia People! If you kill me, they will starve to death!" Wang Meng pleaded desperately.
"Oh, two Huaxia People? Why did you capture them?" This was a new development. Jiang Chen considered the possibility; since Wang Meng's subordinates had already been killed by him, eliminating Wang Meng might indeed lead to the starvation of those he had imprisoned.
"They are special agents from your country, acting as undercover operatives for us. This is why our drug shipments into your Huaxia Nation have always faced difficulties and have been repeatedly intercepted by the authorities. Meanwhile, our drugs sell quite well in Island Nation. Just last month, an agent from Island Nation informed me that they were sent by your Huaxia Nation as undercover agents, which is why I captured them and have been torturing them slowly!" Wang Meng explained briefly.
Two undercover agents? They must be rescued. "Alright, I will spare your life for now! First, take me to see the vault, then show me those two Huaxia People. If you are lying, I will not hesitate to kill you!"
"I wouldn't dare!" Wang Meng stood up and led Jiang Chen and Yao Bao to the vault.
Inside the Kunshan vault, gold was piled high in two heaps, along with many antiques, paintings, and jewelry. The total value of these items was at least several billion Huaxia Coins. Kunshan was indeed a wealthy place.
Although there was much wealth in the Kunshan vault, it clearly belonged to Jiang Chen now. "Not bad. Let's leave these items here for now; I'll come back to collect them later. Yao Bao, you stay here for the time being," Jiang Chen said as he sealed the vault.
After securing the Kunshan vault, Jiang Chen instructed Wang Meng to take him to see the two Huaxia People.
Wang Meng led Jiang Chen to a room with an iron door. Just as he was about to find the key, Jiang Chen pointed his hand, and the heavy iron lock snapped open immediately.
Upon entering the room, Jiang Chen found a man and a woman in their forties, both severely beaten and lying on the ground in a weakened state with chains around their ankles. If no one came to rescue them soon, they might die within a day or two.
"Why are they kept together? Can't you separate them?" Jiang Chen asked angrily.
"They are a married couple!" Wang Meng replied nervously, wanting to unlock their chains after answering.
Jiang Chen stopped him and said, "I'll do it." He felt anger at the sight but had no intention of killing Wang Meng just yet; he might be useful when speaking with the rescued couple.
Jiang Chen easily removed their chains and infused them with a bit of his energy. The couple regained consciousness.
"Don't be afraid; I am also Huaxia People here to rescue you. Wang Meng is under my control now and will listen to me," Jiang Chen reassured them. "Wang Meng, take us to the villa. Find two sets of clothes for them to change into and get them something to eat; then I'll talk with them!"
The middle-aged couple was extremely grateful for their rescue but were surprised at how young Jiang Chen looked.
In the villa, after changing into clean clothes and washing up, they joined Jiang Chen in the living room. Upon seeing them, he felt a familiar aura but decided to let them eat first to replenish their strength before questioning them.
"May I ask your names? How did you end up here? And why did Wang Meng capture you?"
"My name is Jin Liu; this is my wife Mei Dong. We are originally from Fujian Province. In our pursuit of wealth, we took risks and began trafficking drugs over a decade ago. However, ten years ago, our drug ring suffered a devastating blow; we managed to escape and sought refuge with General Wang Meng here. But for some unknown reason, last month General Wang suddenly captured us!" Jin Liu explained.
