Arc I – Noble Stepson

“Dr. Yan… Dr. Yan?”

A voice full of cautiousness and respect brought Nie Jia back from a whirl of chaos and into the room. He opened his eyes and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes bending over to look at him. When he looked up, the man reminded him: “Dr. Yan, the old madam is already awake. The mayor and his wife invited you to dinner at the mansion. I’m here to pick you up.” He paused and said, “Please attend your call first.”

Nie Jia was a little confused. After the man finished talking, Nie Jia noticed that the cell phone in his pocket was ringing.

His long eyebrows were furrowed together, and he looked impatient as if he was suppressing a violent outburst. Taking a look at the phone, a name kept flashing on the screen: Jiang Yang.

Nie Jia glanced at it, and then threw the phone away without changing his expression.

His phone-throwing action was very fierce. It seemed like he drew a knife and suddenly the room was filled with killing intent.

The mayor’s secretary was startled. He didn’t know what happened to the gentle doctor Yan.

Nie Jia got up from the chair he had been sleeping on and took two deep breaths. He gradually regained his consciousness and found that the system in his mind was strangely quiet. In the past, every time he entered a new world, the system would send the world’s data and the original owner’s memories and information to Nie Jia. But now it was as quiet as if there was no system at all.

Nie Jia ignored the mayor’s secretary and went towards the floor-to-ceiling windows to pull open the curtains.

Outside was a large city filled with bright sunshine and a row of tall buildings, but no aircrafts or air tunnels in his field of vision. Nie Jia was disappointed for a moment, it seemed that he still did not return to his own world.

From the perspective of the current world, Nie Jia was a person who belonged to the future interstellar era. Of the few abilities in the empire, his were the most powerful – healing abilities, and he was a rare interstellar military doctor with such powerful abilities.

But because of family members and public prosecutors, he was framed and thrown into prison and then into different worlds to continuously let him reincarnate so as to increase his criminal personality value. His enemies had tampered with the personality detection system and placed him in situations where he was basically forced to commit crimes. All this was done to prove that he had a criminal mindset and to try to sentence him to death in court.

Nie Jia was a military doctor in his world, but was forced to kill people by the system and to harm countries and their people. He was forced to do all the bad things that were worth punishing thousands of times. After many forced reincarnations, he had gone from being angry and resistant to being numb and detached.

“Dr. Yan?” The mayor’s secretary couldn’t help but ask.

Nie Jia returned to himself, the haze in his eyes was impermeable, “You go back first, I will pass by myself later.”

The mayor’s secretary looked at him. The young doctor had dark hair and a white neck. He had the same gentle appearance as yesterday, but at this moment, he suddenly had more momentum than the superiors he had met. He said nothing, nodded and left the hotel.

—————————-

Nie Jia stood by the window for a while, and there was still no sound in his mind. He went to the bathroom, and when he saw himself in the mirror, he was startled.

In the mirror was a dark-haired young man with a very beautiful oriental face and a pair of retro and elegant gold wire glasses sat on his straight nose. Nie Jia froze for half a minute before reaching out to take off his glasses and silently looking at the rare pair of light brown pupils.

This doctor Yan looked exactly like him.

[Hello, Mr. Nie, I am your new program assistant. You can call me KK, and I will serve you from now on.] A sunny and lively voice suddenly sounded in his head.

Nie Jia calmly put on his glasses again, frowned and said: “A new program assistant? What trick is the prosecution team playing again?”

[You misunderstood, Mr. Nie. My master discovered that the prosecution team had tampered with your personality detection system, so he hacked it, and now I will assist you to clear the bad records left from before.】

Nie Jia was silent for a while: “Who is your master?”

The system said: [Sorry Mr. Nie, this is not within the scope of my purview. You just need to know that my master is doing his best to save you. Your current body’s name is Yan Su. As long as you can fulfill Yan Su’s wish, you can offset a certain value of the accumulated ‘criminal personality’. The more satisfactorily you complete the wishes, the more values you will offset, so you will be able to return to your own world. You can be acquitted.】

“So, I’m going to start getting rid of the villain’s status and turn over to be the protagonist?” Nie Jia sneered.

The system didn’t notice his emotional change, and he still excitedly explained: [No, in order to not attract the attention of the prosecution team, I will still arrange the roles of villian for you. You have to stand in the right position to fulfill the wish of the original owner. If the original’s wish is to destroy the world, then you must make the destruction of the world possible, otherwise the value of ‘criminal personality’ will continue to increase.】

Nie Jia: “Your master is helping me? Or making things difficult for me?”

[I just gave you an example. Hehe.】

Before Nie Jia had the time to digest this sudden change, the new system tinged this world’s data into his consciousness.

This world revolved around Jiang Yang, whose call was previously ignored by Nie Jia on the phone. He was the eldest son of Jiang’s, the protagonist gong, a wealthy man in Yue City. Nie Jia’s current identity was Yan Su, Jiang Zhaolin’s step-son and Jiang Yang’s younger step brother.

Yan Su’s mother took him with her when she married into the Jiang family. At that time, he was four years old. Yan Su was clever and lively since childhood, and was loved by his stepfather Jiang Zhaolin.

Yan Su fell in love with Jiang Yang during his pubescent years, but his passionate pursuit did not get Jiang Yang’s response. In order to make Jiang Yang notice him, he went to a bar with some drunk bastards. Jiang Yang was in the third year of high school and went to the bar to rescue Yan Su. At that time, he fought with a few people, resulting in a cracked left hand.

Jiang Yang’s injury during the critical moment of his third year of high school angered Jiang Zhaolin, and he was very disappointed with his stepson’s sexuality.

Yan Su was sent abroad immediately without much discussion with Anna, Yan Su’s mom. Ten years later, Yan Su was already an internationally renowned neurosurgeon, and Jiang Yang became the owner of the Jiang family after several thrilling business wars. It was not until two years ago that Jiang Yang and Qin family’s Qin Yiran were married and Yan Su was allowed to return home.

After returning home, Yan Su did not stage a touching meeting with Jiang Yang. He targeted the Jiang family as soon as he returned home, because Yan Su knew that when he was sent abroad, all of this was just Jiang Yang’s cunning planning. A self-directed and good show was aimed at driving him out.

Yan Su had hatred in his heart, and his connections were very extensive. He also had a big presence in politics. After several sparks of confrontations, Jiang Yang was almost kicked out of the ranks of the rich.

He was the biggest villain in this story, a powerful medical genius. At the age of 28, he was already one of the best neurosurgeons in the world. His identity and social status had already surpassed the entire Jiang family’s. This background was enough to let Jiang Yang hang by the end of his rope🔻. However, Jiang Yang’s protagonist halo shone and Yan Su was still defeated.

The cause was Yan Su’s biological father, Yan Yu, who had been divorced due to his infidelity. His wife, Anna, Yan Su’s mother, divorced him and left the house. After Yan Su returned to China, because Yan Yu owed a huge amount of gambling debts, he had no choice but to ask Yan Su. Yan Su helped Yan Yu out of kindness and lingering emotions, but he didn’t expect to be entangled.

Every time Yan Yu owed money to his debtors, he continued to find Yan Su, and this became a strong evidence that Jiang Yang used to send Yan Su to prison.

Yan Su was charged with accommodating others for taking drugs and was sentenced to three years in prison. Jiang Yang was still not satisfied and sent people into prison so as to prevent future problems. Yan Su’s hand was crippled and the medical genius fell.

The protagonist gong finally got rid of the villain, the career of the protagonist and his love life were smooth, and he became the biggest giant of the Yue City within five years.

After reading the data, Nie Jia felt a little irritable in his heart. Although this heterodimensional world was fabricated by the personality detection system, the pain and anger that Nie Jia could feel were extremely real, especially since he was repressed from the beginning by the public prosecution team. He was full of hatred. Whenever he was forced to commit crimes by the system in a different world, this dark hatred became more intense and profound.

He had thought that if he could return to his world, he would definitely smash his enemy’s corpse! Of course, he was also aware of the possibility that maybe he would never have the opportunity to clear his name and when his “criminal personality value” reached the required standard for a judicial sentence, he would be sentenced to death in court.

It’s just that Nie Jia never thought that someone would try to save him in this world.

So, now that he is free, he must fight for his innocence and leave the trial court with a clear name. He would return to the prosecution team everything they owe him and much more!

Of course, to return to his world, the “criminal personality value” recorded earlier must be offset.

Nie Jia took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked, “So what is Yan Su’s wish?”

[He wants Jiang Yang to regret.] The system hurriedly answered.

Nie Jia returned to the window and sat down to bathe in the sun, thinking about it. After a moment, he glanced at his broken mobile phone, holding his forehead with one hand: “Inform Mayor Guo that I won’t be there for the dinner, then book a flight back to Yue City.”

The system did so, and then Nie Jia thought of the key point and asked, “Oh, since you have hacked the personality detection system, can I adjust my abilities in another world?”

The system said: [Yes, I will do my best to meet all your requirements. But the extent of your power depends on how much the original owner’s physical fitness can bear. According to Yan Su’s physical fitness standards, the maximum amount of power transfer he can withstand has been achieved.】

Nie Jia immediately understood. It seemed that the number of abilities that could be transferred depended on the world level. If Yan Su was a magician or if this was the end of the world, the situation would have been much more optimistic.

That afternoon, Nie Jia left Yunnan and returned to Yue City.

After an afternoon of anticipation, Nie Jia really felt that he was free. Although the new system KK was a bit of a headache since it talked too much, it seemed that it would not force him to do something he was not willing to do, or spy on Nie Jia’s psychological activities, and would also help him gather information. It was indeed doing its best to help him, as it said.

—

As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Yang who was pacing back and forth in the lobby and constantly dialing Yan Su, rushed up to him angrily, grabbed Nie Jia’s collar, and shouted so loud that veins popped out on his forehead, “Where did you go?”

“Yan Su, if my grandpa doesn’t survive because of you, I will never let you go!” A handsome young man stood up from the sofa and stared at Nie Jia with red eyes. Instead of sadness, they were tinted red with hatred.

He was the protagonist shou of this world, Meng Qian, a recently turned famous painter, and a key figure who pushed Yan Su to his complete demise.

Jiang Yang bought Meng Qian’s famous oil painting worth three million yuan, which made him famous, and that was how the two met each other. Soon after, Jiang Yang divorced Qin Yiran, who he had married for his benefits. Now, Meng Qián was living with the Jiang family, and the couple would hold an engagement banquet in a few days.

Yan Su and Meng Qian did not have much direct contact, but some time ago, Meng Qián’s grandfather was found to have an intracranial malignant tumor. The disease was difficult to treat. The old man was at the end of his rope. No one in the whole country dared to treat him. His age and exhausted vitality made him delicate and fragile. Jiang Yang directly took out 10% of the shares of the Jiangs’ family business and asked Yan Su to treat Meng Qian’s grandfather.

Yan Su was not short on money. What he valued was that Jiang Yang lost 10% of his shares, and he was unable to stably hold the position of the controlling shareholder, which made it easier for Yan Su to start his preparations. And this just proved how profound Jiang Yang’s love for Meng Qian was, and moved Meng Qián deeply.

The original Yan Su was quite sure about the operation, but because of the halo of the villain on his head, Meng Qian’s grandfather died during the nursing period of one month after the operation. Jiang Yang was determined that Yan Su’s operation had failed and began to go crazy for revenge.

Nie Jia had appeared a little late, after all, it was now a week after the surgery. Three days ago, he was invited to Yunnan to perform a minor operation on the mother of the mayor of the city, and he had left without telling Jiang Yang and Meng Qian. Meng Qian’s grandfather showed no signs of awakening. Both Jiang Yang and Meng Qian thought that the operation had failed and that Yan Su had escaped.

In fact, Yan Su’s operation did not have any errors. Grandpa Mèng’s death was due to exhaustion of his vitality. Since he was old, it was difficult to recover the damage caused by this major operation with his remaining vitality.

“Do I need to report to you about where I am?” Nie Jia looked at Jiang Yang’s angry face only to think that it was funny. He stretched his hand and pressed hardly on the inside of Jiang Yang’s wrist. Jiang Yang let go of his collar due to the pain in his wrist.

Meng Qian walked over with red eyes, stood in front of Nie Jia, and angrily said: “Grandpa has not only not woken up yet, but his health is also getting worse! Have you concealed anything?!”

Nie Jia glanced at Meng Qian with cold eyes, “Mr. Meng, your grandfather is seventy-five, not thirty-five. You ignored the risk of surgery for the elderly and refused the conservative treatment. You wanted to remove the tumor even at the cost of overdrawing the patient’s vitality. A tumour places great pressure on the body and it takes so much energy to recover. Do you expect the patient to stand up and do a set of exercises after the anesthesia wears off?”

Meng Qián heard his words and blushed instantly. He subconsciously took a step aside.

“Yan Su, I warn you not to make a joke about the elder’s life.” Jiang Yang’s wrist was still hurting, but as he spoke, he could not bear his anger at Nie Jia.

~The limit of one’s patience, when one is so frustrated or annoyed that one can no longer cope.🔺
