**Chapter 1426: That Was Not Me! (Bonus Chapter)**
At this moment, Jiang Tianqing, who was blocking the main control room door, had her appearance change drastically!
Her chest deflated, and she returned to Jiangnan's appearance!
Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, and the others were petrified on the spot, staring at Jiangnan in shock!
∑(°口°๑)
Did you just self-destruct yourself?
Don't you want to live anymore?
The entire main control hall was dead silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Wang Dalei and Ye Zhenguo's eyes were almost bulging out, and their brains were momentarily unable to process this shocking information, crashing on the spot!
Σ(|||⚆口⚆)
Chen Daoyi held his head, looking like he'd seen a ghost!
୧(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇)୨
He had seen Jiangnan's corpse. Anyone who sees a person who died a month ago suddenly appear before their eyes would go crazy, right?
Han Menglu was dumbfounded on the spot, steam practically rising from her head. She started muttering frantically and even slapped herself twice.
(#꒪ㅂ꒪#) "Aha~ Ahaha~ I guess I really have been overworking myself. Seeing hallucinations in broad daylight now!"
The lollipop Li Bing was holding fell to the ground with a clatter. She grabbed her hair in terror.
୧(@口@!!)୨ "Jiang! Nan?"
A high-pitched scream echoed through the main control hall!
No doubt about it, the person who could teleport right in front of them was definitely Jiangnan!
"Luo Tianqing is Jiangnan? Then where did Luo Tianqing go?"
Jiangnan swallowed.
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) "Sister Tianqing is on vacation in Hawa Yi. I'm using her account~"
Han Menglu pinched her face until it was almost swollen before confirming she wasn't dreaming.
(｡)ᵒ̌口ᵒ̌(｡) "You're here? Then who is lying in the coffin on Sky Island? I clearly saw you die with my own eyes!"
Jiangnan had a guilty look on his face.
(‧̣̥̇･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "Uh... the one in the coffin is also me. I hadn't died yet... so I thought I'd try dying for fun..."
"Since you were all so sad, I didn't dare come back to life. But I really can't hold it in anymore!"
"I need to go up to the moon and get the treasure!"
Everyone was stunned for a long time before finally accepting that Jiangnan hadn't died!
So the whole thing at Bei family was a fake death? Just to escape the Celestial Group's assassination?
After the initial joy came a wave of fury!
At this moment, Li Bing's eyes blazed with red light, her silver hair flying, and her little tiger fangs grinding so hard sparks flew.
(งꐦᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "You little brat! How dare you pull a joke like this? I've cried my eyes swollen a dozen times and soaked so many pillowcases, sheets, and blankets!"
"I was just crying in the bathroom! How are you going to make it up to me?"
Han Menglu had a sweet smile on her face, but the veins on her forehead were bulging.
(ꐦ⌒◡⌒) "So, are you ready to get back in the coffin?"
Wang Dalei's eyes were red.
(ꐦ꒦ິ皿꒦ີ) "Uncle Jiang? Damn it! You're something else, aren't you? Tricking me into crying?"
"Today, I, Wang Dalei, am going to sever all ties and execute justice on my own!"
As he spoke, lightning surged around his body, and his arm muscles bulged.
Ye Zhenguo's expression had already turned demonic.
（ꐦ｀益´) "I have two granddaughters! Ye Ye and Ye Xingxuan almost cried their eyes out when they heard you died! I held my two granddaughters and howled with them!"
"Ye Xinghe lost over ten pounds and was completely down! And you faked your death? Borrowed Tianqing's account to go have fun in the Permafrost?"
"Let me ask you today, have you ever seen a fist as big as a wok?"
At this point, Ye Zhenguo's fists had turned into dragon claws, several meters wide!
Bigger than the wok Jiangnan used to cook Ye Ye!
Jiangnan's legs were shaking like little rubber bands.
Sweat poured down his forehead.
(‧̣̥̇๑ŏ‧̣̥﹏‧̣̥̇ŏ๑‧̣̥̇) "Well... I did it for the mission, you know? I..."
Li Bing puffed up her cheeks.
٩(*`~´*)۶ "Beat him up! I'm going to make him cry today! Everyone, get him!"
In an instant, half the people in the main control hall charged at Jiangnan!
There were two Dao Heaven levels among them!
Jiangnan's face turned pale. He didn't dare run, so he shouted.
(‧̣̥̇･᷅口･᷄) "Wu Liang, save me!"
Wu Liang turned his head.
(乛(エ)乛٥) "Ah~ Ah~ The explosion just now gave me intermittent deafness... I can't hear anything!"
Sorry, Big Brother! I really can't take this one!
With this scene, if I activate "Don't serve me," I'd be gone in three seconds!
Jiangnan: !!!
(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) "Mila, save me!"
Mila smiled sweetly.
୧(⁎˃◡˂⁎)୨ "Sorry, Brother Jiangnan, I can't save you this time~"
Jiangnan: (;´༎ຶ口༎ຶ`)
So this is the pit I dug myself—I have to crawl out of it on my knees?
What must come will come, and what must be beaten cannot be avoided~
In an instant, Jiangnan was surrounded by the crowd and subjected to a flurry of punches and kicks.
Screams like a pig being slaughtered came from within.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao didn't show any pity. They were that ruthless!
Jiang Tianchen beside them was stunned for a long time before accepting the fact.
He turned to Yang Jian beside him and clicked his tongue.
(•́ω•̀٥) "Brother Jian, you've got some nerve, huh? You even fooled Commander-in-Chief Di Rui?"
Yang Jian's smile froze.
(￢ㅂ￢‧̣̥̇) "What weird things are you talking about? This has nothing to do with me!"
"I didn't know about it. Jiangnan made all the decisions on his own. It has nothing to do with me, Yang Jian!"
Sorry, Jiangnan. You're already getting beaten, so you can take this blame too.
I have a family and a career—I can't afford to be dragged into this!
Jiang Tianchen's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Lying? You're still lying? 'Waiting for a miracle,' right? If it really was Luo Tianqing who went to the Permafrost, would you have waited?"
Yang Jian's forehead was already sweating.
(´-ㅂ-`‧̣̥̇) "Wait! Of course I'd wait! Tianqing is also an excellent pioneer!"
But Jiang Tianchen didn't believe it. Without Yang Jian's cooperation, Jiangnan couldn't have pulled this off alone.
(-ι_-) "Tsk tsk tsk~ You're finished. This secretary-general is probably going to get fired, huh?"
Yang Jian swallowed hard, his expression resolute.
He refused to admit it, no matter what!
Jiang Tianchen let out a long breath and showed a relieved smile. "He's still alive. That's really good! Even if you tricked this old man to death, I'd accept it!"
A smile curled at the corner of Yang Jian's mouth as well.
Seeing everyone having fun, Chen Daoyi couldn't hold back anymore.
This was a rare opportunity! Should I go up and hit him a couple of times to vent?
After all, during the Western Frontier incident, Jiangnan had tricked him to the point of no return!
Would it be too much to hit him a couple of times?
If I don't hit him now, I might never get the chance!
So he decided to do it. Chen Daoyi charged into the crowd with his fists raised and punched Jiangnan right on the crown of his head, leaving a big red lump.
Jiangnan: ???
Damn it? What are you, Old Chen, doing here butting in?
I didn't see you shed any tears when I died!
This is a personal grudge, isn't it?
Don't you know that I, Jiangnan, always keep a trick up my sleeve?
Chen Daoyi punched Jiangnan once, his old face flushed with excitement.
This should be the first time he's actually landed a hit on Jiangnan, right?
So satisfying!
Just as he was about to throw a second punch, his vision blurred!
He was instantly swapped into the middle of the crowd, and countless fists and flying feet rained down on him like hail!
The sound of beating rang out.
Chen Daoyi: ???
How did I get in here?
Damn it! I only hit him once!
(#)ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆(#) "Hey hey hey! Stop! You're hitting—"
Jiangnan had already swapped to Chen Daoyi's position!
He punched Chen Daoyi hard on the chin, preventing him from speaking.
"Not hitting hard enough! If you don't hit him harder, he won't learn! Beat him!"
Ye Zhenguo: "Right! Beat him to tears! How dare he deceive my feelings?"
Wang Dalei roared: "Watch my 'Severing All Ties Electric Shock Fist'!"
The sounds of pounding and slapping continued endlessly. Everyone swung their eyes shut, hitting happily, venting their anger.
Jiangnan was right beside them, also getting in his licks.
Li Bing, who had tired herself out, stood with her hands on her hips, panting. She glanced sideways at the person next to her.
She saw Jiangnan, covered in bruises and big red lumps, going full throttle.
(｡)งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌(｡)ง
Li Bing was taken aback.
Huh?
This isn't right, is it?
Aren't we supposed to be hitting Jiangnan? How did he get out?
Then who's getting beaten?
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･｡:) "Wait... hold on. Did we hit the wrong person?"
Everyone paused. They opened their eyes and looked at the center of the crowd. They saw Chen Daoyi lying on the ground, holding his head, looking even more swollen than Jiangnan. He was shouting wildly.
(#)´༎ຶ口༎ຶ(#) "I was wrong! Wrong! I only threw one punch!"
Only Jiangnan was still excitedly throwing punches and kicks.
When he saw everyone looking at him, Jiangnan's movements froze. Sweat poured from his forehead.
He quickly raised his hands, looking pitiful.
ฅ(#)ŏ﹏ŏ(#)ฅ "Stop hitting! I give up! Give up! If you hit me any more, I won't be able to go to the moon!"
Seeing Jiangnan like that, Li Bing couldn't help but laugh. The others also couldn't hold back.
It was so rare to see that Boss Nan beaten into a steamed bun like this!
After all, it was usually Jiangnan who was chasing and beating others.
"Since you're so pitiful, I'll forgive you!"
Because most of their anger had been vented in that last round.
Even though Chen Daoyi had taken the brunt of it.
Chen Daoyi: (#)´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ(#)
I hit him once and got beaten like this? What a loss!
I'll never take advantage of a situation like this again!
But Han Menglu rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
(︶ก︶✽) "Hmm~ Since you used Jiang Tianqing's account before, that means the person who wet his pants in Blood Capital was you~"
She said this with a teasing look at Jiangnan.
(˵ಡ‿ಡ˵)✧
At that moment, everyone in the main control hall had a sly grin!
Jiangnan: !!!
Damn! How could I forget this?
If they find out that was me, I won't be able to live this down!
So he shook his head seriously.
(͡ಠʖ̯͡ಠ) "Not at all! That was definitely the real Mentor Tianqing. I had been lying obediently in the coffin the whole time."
"I only borrowed Tianqing's account yesterday. The one in Blood Capital wasn't me!"
Han Menglu coughed lightly and imitated Jiangnan's tone, her smile growing even more wicked.
(ಡωಡ) "Ahem, just now someone said~ 'I did it for the mission, you know~'"
"Still trying to cover it up? Let's see how you spin this."
At this point, Jiangnan's face was red and practically smoking. Don't I have any face left?
So he raised his hand and looked at Yang Jian with an extremely serious expression.
(#)ﾟ◠ﾟ)ﾂ "Brother Jian! Can I apply to archive and start over? This went wrong..."
Yang Jian: (≖_≖)?
