"What do you mean by this?!"
Ye Chen's voice was filled with rage. His face twisted in disbelief.
"Jiang Che, you broke your promise!"
He had already given up his cultivation technique, yet this guy was still refusing to let them go?
Jiang Che smirked. "Thanks for the compliment."
He glanced at Ye Chen with amusement, completely unfazed by his anger.
A villain worrying about keeping promises? How ridiculous.
Now that he had squeezed all the value out of these two, he was debating what to do with them.
Should he kill them on the spot?
That seemed a bit too easy.
Sending them to prison sounded far more entertaining. He had heard that prison had some very 'enthusiastic' mentors in combat sports.
Would Ye Chen and Xiao Han be able to handle it?
The thought made Jiang Che chuckle.
"You're dead!"
Ye Chen snapped, fury taking over his logic.
His body exploded with energy as he lunged forward, sweeping an attack toward Jiang Che with everything he had.
But before his strike could land—
SLAP!
Jiang Che's palm struck like a thunderclap.
Ye Chen was sent flying, crashing to the ground with a dull thud.
Xiao Han, seeing Ye Chen defeated so effortlessly, felt his heart turn cold.
Before he could even react—
BAM!
Jiang Che knocked them both unconscious with a casual strike.
Then, using his true energy, he dragged their unconscious bodies behind him like ragdolls as he walked back toward the abandoned factory.
At the factory, Mu Xiaoyao was overseeing the operation.
Her team had loaded all the confiscated guns and ammunition into police vehicles for evidence.
After checking everything, she returned to where she last saw Jiang Che—but he was nowhere to be found.
She frowned.
Just as she was about to order a search, a familiar voice called out—
"Officer Mu, look who I brought you."
Mu Xiaoyao turned her head.
Her eyes widened in shock.
Jiang Che was walking toward her, dragging two unconscious men—
Ye Chen and Xiao Han!
These were the same two criminals who had escaped earlier!
A rare excitement flushed her face. "Where did you catch them?!"
Jiang Che shrugged, pointing at the dark forest behind him.
"They tried to climb a tree to hide, so I scared them by pretending to be a ghost."
His expression was dead serious. "They got so scared, they fell and knocked themselves out."
Mu Xiaoyao blinked.
Then—
"Pfft!"
She covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.
She didn't believe a word of it, but she also didn't press him for details.
She already knew Jiang Che wasn't a simple person.
From the very beginning, he had obtained information before the police, showing he had his own methods.
What mattered most was he had captured the criminals.
"Regardless, thank you."
Mu Xiaoyao's tone was serious again.
"If it weren't for you, these two would have escaped. When I report back to Bureau Wang, I'll make sure they present you with an official commendation!"
Jiang Che scratched his nose, feeling a bit guilty.
A commendation? For a villain like me?
"Uh… no need for that."
"Absolutely necessary!"
Mu Xiaoyao refused to back down.
Jiang Che had done more than the entire police force tonight—he deserved recognition.
Seeing her determination, Jiang Che smiled.
"Alright then. I'll gladly accept."
It was always good to build connections, and a good relationship with Mu Xiaoyao could come in handy later.
She gestured to her officers.
"You two, handcuff them and bring them in."
The officers secured Ye Chen and Xiao Han, officially marking the mission's success.
On the way back, Jiang Che checked his rewards.
"System, exchange 'Pure Yang Gong' and 'Battle to Heaven Judgment' for plot points."
Ding! Exchanging…
Congratulations! Host has received 15,000 Plot Points.
Jiang Che grinned.
"Now let's see my stats."

Jiang Che's satisfaction was through the roof.
"With this many plot points, I can break through several times!"
After dropping off Ye Chen and Xiao Han at the detention center, Jiang Che bid farewell to Mu Xiaoyao.
He hopped into his sports car, revved the engine, and sped off.
The night was far from over.
Now, it was time to go home, cultivate, and study the Sky Poison Sutra.
A smirk played on his lips.
"With this technique, my 'Yin Hand' will be even more deadly."
