Stuck in a Chinese novel - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Prime suspect
Chapter 50

“FFFUUUCCC***KKK!!!” Wei Jun screamed when the system informed him of the news that his body was incapable of cultivating and manifesting Qi.

[Host please calm down]

“SHUT THE FU*** UP!!!” Wei Jun shouted in reply.

[Host please don’t be so aggressive]

“Aggressive!!!??? AGGRESSIVE!!!??? IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT FOR THIS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!! YOU PUT ME IN A USELESS F****** BODY. THEN YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!!!! DON’T BE AGGRESSIVE, YOU SAY!!! I’M NOT DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!! THIS IS ME BEING NOT AGGRESSIVE!!!” Wei Jun shouted and shouted to the point he didn’t know what he was even saying.

[We can still salvage the situation, host]

[You have the shop]

[Many things are available in their]

The system’s reasoning placated Wei Jun a bit and suppressing his anger with great effort, he simply opened the shop and used twenty million yuan to exchange them for 200,000 coins. He then purchased a phoenix tear and consumed it in one go. If it worked for Sun Ruan, Zhan Yi, and Quan Li, then it would surely work for him as well.

Five minutes, nothing. Ten minutes, nothing.

…

…

…

One hour later, the entire villa heard another shout that shook their souls and made their ears bleed with the vulgar words they were hearing originating from the owner of the villa.

“FUU**** HELL OF MO*** FOR ALL THAT IS HE******* AND ***** AND THEIR DISTANT RELATIVES ALSO GO ***** AND **** SO THEIR ***** BLEED TO THE POINT OF *****************” Wei Jun screamed to the point of end of the world. His screams and shouts were shaking the foundation of the building.

[Host… Please…]

The system couldn’t go forward from this point. It couldn’t say anything to defend itself.

The even worse news was this.

[You have consumed phoenix tear]

[Your body feels reinvigorated]

[You are already in a prime condition]

[No further effect will take place]

In other words, Wei Jun had just wasted twenty million yuan and that was equally worse than not awakening Qi.

Another hour later, when Wei Jun finally dimmed down in his curses and shouts, the system suggested meekly.

[There is another way, host]

“What?” Wei Jun asked threateningly.

[Qi awakening elixir]

[Tier: SSS]

[Description: The world you live in is defined by the strong where the weak has no value. If you wish to be strong yourself but for some reason can’t, then fear not as the hope hasn’t ended yet.

A magical elixir created by a Qi master at the Qi spiritualization realm who sacrificed his life force to make this elixir to grant an opportunity for the younger generation to not be deprived of the opportunity to become strong.

Effects: Qi manifestation in any kind of body]

[Cost: 10,000,000 coins]

A simple math. Wei Jun required a billion yuan to awaken Qi. “Hahaha… HAHAHA…. HA! HA! HA! HA!” Wei Jun began to laugh which manifested an ominous feeling in the system. And just like that, another line of curses began.

======

Today, at the set, everyone was on edge. Even Xia Lu, who wasn’t afraid of Wei Jun, also didn’t dare to make a mistake in the shooting. The rest were terrified too but none of them dared to make a mistake. And just like that, the shooting ended without a hitch.

Just as the shooting ended, Zhao Hui, the detective who had questioned Wei Jun many, many times came forward and greeted Wei Jun, “Good morning, Mister Ruan.”

“It’s afternoon.” Wei Jun curtly replied and added, “And you are here without an appointment. Piss off.”

Zhao Hui was so taken aback by the blatant disrespect from Wei Jun that he forgot to say what he was actually there for. He shook his head to ignore that and hurriedly said, “I don’t need an appointment today. You are to come to the police station for questioning.” The news was heard by everyone on the set and everyone stopped to listen to what was happening.

“What for?” Wei Jun asked, keeping his curt tone consistent.

“For attacking and disfiguring Miss Na Tong.” Zhao Hui said.

“Who’s that?” Wei Jun asked with annoyance on his face and from his expression and tone, he genuinely didn’t seem to know about her.

“That will be explained at the police station.” Zhao Hui replied.

“Am I under arrest?” Wei Jun asked.

“No, you are not.” Zhao Hui replied.

“Then piss off.” Wei Jun replied and began to walk away.

“Please understand, Mister Ruan. You are the lead suspect in this case. If you don’t come with me, I will come with a warrant and arrest you.” Zhao Hui urged and advised in his own strange way.

Wei Jun didn’t care and kept walking to his car. He wasn’t in the mood to play for this today. Zhao Hui sighed and said nothing. Instead, he walked over to Quan Li and Zhan Yi and introduced himself, “Hello. I am Zhao Hui, a detective. Would you spare some time and answer a few questions of mine? I have questions regarding an incident that happened to both of you a few days ago.”

Zhan Yi and Quan Li were a little troubled because they didn’t know how to deal with it but they also didn’t want any trouble and Quan Li especially didn’t want to recount that incident.

“I… I…” Quan Li didn’t know how to reply but before she could continue any further, Xia Lu spoke from behind Zhao Hui, “You cannot question her without a proper precedence. Please leave and come back with a logical reason for questioning.”

Zhao Hui chuckled at her amateur attempt and remarked, “Ah no. I’m just curious how such a major incident wasn’t reported and how someone involved had an accident happen to them on the same day.”

“Nature always gets its back.” Xia Lu said in return. There was no proof of anything and even she knew that She was almost sure who it was that got revenge but even she couldn’t prove that. Knowing and proof were two different things.

“If nature is going to solve everything, then what’s our use?” Zhao Hui argued with a smile.

“Exactly. Where were you until now? Even now, you don’t care what happened to them because they are alright now. You are only questioning them because of Na Tong. Have you questioned her for what she did?” Xia Lu also argued, striking at the point that was technically true.

Zhao Hui had no answer for that and simply replied, “I will return with a warrant.” He then left the set.

Xia Lu came closer to Quan Li and sternly said, “Don’t even get nervous in front of people like them. The boss will protect us as long as we don’t create problems ourselves. Understood? Both of you?”

Quan Li nodded and so did Zhan Yi. Xia Lu nodded in return and she also left. She got into her car and her bodyguard inquired about her destination, “Wei Jun Ruan’s villa.”

The car left the lot and Xia Lu closed her eyes in the back. She questioned herself not about the various things that were happening but her own words she had just said a few moments ago, “Why did I say that?”

Where did the faith she just displayed come from? It’s not like she agreed with what Wei Jun had done but for some reason, her inner self agreed with what he had done and she was sure, as long as she was under him, she would be safe.

“I wonder if I’m going mad.” She wondered to herself with a chuckle and closed her eyes to rest a little before the gym session at seven.

=====

“Haa… Fu*k. I let her live and she creates more problems for me? I guess I was being too kind-hearted.” Wei Jun said out loud while driving his car. He didn’t have a set destination in mind since he was free for the day before the gym session at seven. He decided to go to the Elegantè to make a tuxedo for tomorrow’s banquet at the Na family.

“Welcome, Mister Ruan.” Tian Long welcomed Wei Jun who simply nodded and said, “I want a Tuxedo ready by tomorrow morning. Pay special attention to it. Don’t worry about the cost.” Wei Jun’s requirements were simple and Tian Long simply nodded with a smile as he replied, “Worry not, Young Master Ruan. You know that our service has been satisfactory.”

Wei Jun nodded and replied, “That I cannot deny. You are the best shop in the city.” Wei Jun didn’t hold back on his praise as his eyes fell on a black dress.

The dress was extremely beautiful, with two shoulder straps, and shining embroidery on it to accentuate its dark color. The dress flowed to the feet of the mannequin. He couldn’t help but admire the craftsmanship and the detail paid to the dress. He wondered who made it.

“Who has made that dress?” Wei Jun turned and asked Tian Long who was instructing an employee to take Wei Jun’s improvements.

“Oh that… Well…”
