I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 156: Ye Lingchen’s Old Profession

Brother Dragon would never have expected his nemesis to appear right before him.

Furthermore, he was arrested by his nemesis!

His mental state was crumbling and his eyes turned red, with warm tears rolling down his cheeks.

When he was finally pushed into the police car, he could no longer hold it back and started bawling. The sorrow in his voice could move the heavens.

“I really have to thank you this time. If not for you, I’m afraid he would have escaped somewhere we couldn’t go. That way we won’t be able to give a proper explanation for their victims.” Xu Nan explained to Ye Lingchen as she saluted him.

“You’re welcome. It’s just a coincidence.” Ye Lingchen smiled.

He naturally had no favorable impression of such an organization. Doing that was considered his contribution to society.

“I’m sorry about last time. I was too hot-headed.” Xu Nan looked at Ye Lingchen apologetically.

She had changed her views of Ye Lingchen. Last time, Ye Lingchen’s acute observation and ability to improvise left a deep impression on Xu Nan. This time, it shook her to the core.

She took part in the operation to capture Brother Dragon. Naturally, she would understand the difficulties involved. They had even lost a few comrades because of this operation. She never expected Ye Lingchen to capture Brother Dragon this easily. It was just like a dream.

“It’s in the past, don’t worry about it,” Ye Lingchen replied with a carefree smile.

It would seem that Xu Nan had graduated from a trainee to a full-fledged officer. Her way of handling things was much more matured. She also carried a heroic look between her eyes, adding an extra touch to her already beautiful face.

With them busting this serious kidnapping ring, Xu Nan was prepared to award Ye Lingchen with a good citizen award. However, it was rejected by Ye Lingchen.

To be safe, the police escorted the criminals away immediately after they thanked Ye Lingchen.

On the scene, Leopard and the rest were staring at each other blankly.

Winning over 30 million from dogfighting randomly—unrivaled luck. Easily taking care of Brother Dragon—unrivaled strength. For a person with these traits, how could they not respect him?

Maniac Chu’s eyes were blurred, slowly trying to get his body to stand in his dazed state.

He stared at Ye Lingchen, unable to focus.

Finally, his gaze focused on Ye Lingchen and an excited smile appeared on his face. “You’re stronger than I thought! Hahaha, congratulations! You’re once again my goal. I will surely surpass you!”

Having said that, he got onto his motorcycle and sped away…

As he left, the wind carried an echo of his parting words of, “I’ll be back…”

“Is Brother Chu okay?” Leopard was worried.

“Relax. I think…he should be fine,” Snake replied.

Everyone got in their cars and drove off.

While in the car, Huang Xiaomeng, Li Muxue, and Ye Lingchen kept silent, which created an awkward atmosphere.

“Hey, Ye Lingchen. You’re now considered a millionaire. Are you still planning to stick with your old profession?” Huang Xiaomeng asked suddenly when they were almost arriving at Hill Spring Residences.

‘Old profession?’

That thoughtless sentence caught Ye Lingchen by surprise.

He looked at Li Muxue just to realize that she was listening in with a curious expression on her face.

‘What old profession did I have?’

Ye Lingchen gave it some thought, concluding that his profession all these while was just being a student.

“Yup. This is the most suitable profession for my age,” Ye Lingchen answered.

The atmosphere in the car turned even more awkward instantly.

Huang Xiaomeng gave Ye Lingchen a disdainful look, thinking to herself that she would have to thoroughly clean the seat that Ye Lingchen sat on. Better yet, she should change the entire car!

‘So f*cking filthy!’

“Which unit is yours? We’ll drop you over directly.”

“Right in the middle, royal suite.”

“Wow, no wonder you’re still sticking to your old profession,” Huang Xiaomeng harrumphed, feeling even greater contempt for him.

At the front gate, Zhang Yunxi was already waiting by the door.

Seeing Ye Lingchen getting out of the car, she immediately came forward to welcome him.

Huang Xiaomeng kept her eyes on Ye Lingchen as he entered the door with Zhang Yunxi. Only then did Huang Xiaomeng let out a sigh of relief.

“F*ck! That gigolo changed another client?!”

When she saw Zhang Yunxi, both Li Muxue and Huang Xiaomeng were stunned.

That woman was too pretty. Furthermore, she was wearing luxurious brands from top to toe, as though she were a princess in a fairy tale. She was definitely at the level of a goddess, the legendary Miss Perfect.

Was Ye Lingchen this woman’s sugar baby as well?!

The world must be crazy!

Most importantly, that woman last time was also a goddess even though she was of a different style from Zhang Yunxi. Furthermore, her family background should be decent too. ‘Are the pretty ladies all blind? Taking turns to take Ye Lingchen in as their sugar baby?’

“Blind! They must be blind!” Huang Xiaomeng’s face flushed red. If looks could kill, she would have murdered Ye Lingchen with her condescending glare. “No wonder he wanted to stick to his old profession. He’s in such high demands, benefiting both in terms of money and pleasures. That’s some work!”

Moreover, that was just the two that they have seen. Who knows if he was under the care of how many more rich women out there?

This type of man was equivalent to an animal!

…

The next day came.

After an entire day of classes, Ye Lingchen had some free time.

Huo Yuanjia was handled by Li Tai. All he had to do was just to have an occasional look. Y-Cosmetics was handled by Zhang Yunxi, with him just enjoying being the boss behind the scenes. Furthermore, his live stream was banned, leaving Ye Lingchen with nothing better to do at the moment.

He required popularity points. Lazing around was not an option.

Ye Lingchen reminded himself, staring at the computer in front of him, lost in thoughts.

He could not do any live streams in the near future. Maybe he should…write a novel?

Live stream storytelling was almost the same as writing a novel.

Furthermore writing a novel was one of the backup plans he had. Since he had the time, he might as well begin!

Turning on his computer, Ye Lingchen immediately logged into Genesis Chinese Literature!

Genesis Chinese Literature was a novel platform under the Yuewen group. It was the number one novel platform in the country with good credibility.

In recent years, the novel market enjoyed a huge boost. It had become a social trend that had contributed a lot of societal and monetary value to society. Its widespread influence had even reached foreign nations. It was known as one of the top four innovations of modern China!

Ye Lingchen registered an account, joined the author’s section and created a pen name

Ye Lingchen considered for a moment, then with a mischievous grin on his face, he entered [I am Y]!

Completing his pen name registration, Ye Lingchen began writing his novel. The novels were categorized into urban, fantasy, xianxia[1], mystery, and other genres. Ye Lingchen gave it some thought, then quickly typed in—Jade Dynasty!

Synopsis:

The world began without celestial beings. However, since ancient times, humans witnessed the world around them being filled with unexplained incidents. Flashing thunder, raging storms, and natural disasters resulted in countless deaths with wails of suffering everywhere. It was beyond the powers of men, nor was it preventable. Going up the nine layers of heavens, there were the celestials and gods. In the nine serenities below, was where the spirits and King Yan’s court lies. With that, countless humans prayed sincerely, subjectively creating various gods of their own and giving up offerings…
