Chapter 623: Chapter 623 - Sixth Master: Cleaning Up

Inside Yunjin Prime Manor…

Fu Chen’s hands kept rubbing his prayer beads. The white light in the study was slightly glaring, and when it reflected in his eyes, it was like daytime fireworks, dazzling and intimidating.

“Third Master, do you want to continue investigating?” Shi Fang had gone to track down the whereabouts of that prodigal son of the Jiang family, but he had been told that he had been beaten up and hospitalized with serious injuries.

“No need. Focus on finding out the people he interacted with before preparing to perform ‘the hero saving the damsel in distress’. These people are most likely the ones behind the scenes.” Fu Chen pursed his lips tightly.

“They knew his plan and were prepared to use his hands to do their dirty work.”

“I’ll investigate.” Shi Fang nodded and walked out of the study.

Fu Chen took his phone and sent Jing Hanchuan a message, asking if he was the one behind this incident.

The attack was fast, ruthless, and accurate. And even the aftermath was cleaned up completely. It was quite similar to Jing Hanchuan’s style of doing things.

Chuanbei Jing residence, half an hour ago…

Jing Hanchuan was sitting in the backyard and fishing. The fishing line was swaying and sinking as he reeled in the line. On the fishing hook was a small fish the size of an adult’s palm. It was wagging its tail vigorously and splashing the water.

The moon bathed him in moonlight.

“… Sixth Master, before we could do anything, someone beat us to it.”

Jing Hanchuan took the fish off the hook and watched it flutter in the bucket.

“Those people were quite ruthless. They kidnapped him into the alley at the back and beat him up. They were fierce and swift. It was obvious that someone had instructed them to teach him a lesson.

“Jiang Ershao has a lot of enemies, so we don’t know who did it yet.”

“Clean hands and feet?” Jing Hanchuan asked.

“They moved very quickly, but there were still some surveillance cameras around. They probably photographed some of them. I’ll go find out who the other party is.”

“No need. Help them deal with the aftermath and clean up all the details. Soon, the Jiang family will definitely find someone to spread the news and see who wanted to lay their hands on him. If they find our family for help, be careful with what you say.”

Jing Hanchuan’s actions were obviously to help those people.

But this wasn’t surprising. Jiang Ershao was famous for being a prodigal and liked to play around. Although he announced to the public that the robbery had nothing to do with him and that it was just an accident, those who were well-informed knew that someone had used him.

But he indeed had malicious intentions, and he was brought back to the police station for investigation. When he came out that night, he went out to drink and fool around, not caring at all about how this matter would affect others.

He looked lawless and unrepentant.

“Sixth Master, it’s all thanks to the lady boss of the dessert shop that this incident didn’t turn out worse. I really didn’t expect her to be so decisive. I usually can’t tell at all.”

“That’s right. She looks like a petite young lady, but I didn’t expect her to be so nimble.”

“The main reason is that her voice is really nice. It’s soft and sweet. The first time I heard it, my bones went weak. Whoever becomes her boyfriend in the future and hears her call him Hubby with this voice all day long… F*ck, I really wouldn’t be able to stand it…”

…

The few of them were chatting when they suddenly heard a bang. Jing Hanchuan threw his fishing rod.

“I told you to do something, but you’re talking about women here?”

Everyone stood still, not daring to make a sound.

“Aren’t you leaving yet?” Jing Hanchuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was extremely intimidating.

“Sixth Master, we’ll get going,” they said and turned around to flee.

They had an employer-employee relationship, so they knew that Jing Hanchuan’s temper wasn’t as ruthless and violent as the rumors said. They usually joked around in private, and nothing would happen. Why…

… did he suddenly explode?

The few of them were dumbfounded. Someone had handled the aftermath, and they had nothing to do at all. It was baffling!

Beijing Second People’s Hospital…

Jiang Ershao found the beating really dumbfounding. At this moment, he was lying on the hospital bed and groaning. There were even a few stitches under his right jaw.

F*ck, according to the rules of the underworld, you shouldn’t hit people in the face!

Those people almost disfigured him.

The robbers had insisted that it was a random crime and that it had nothing to do with him at all. He had gone to the police station to go through the motions before returning home. After taking a shower to get rid of the bad luck, he went out for a drink but was beaten up.

He had never felt so aggrieved in his life.?I’ve been really unlucky recently.

It wasn’t easy to set up a good show, but he didn’t manage to save the beauty and even got a bloody nose from being hit. This time, Song Fengwan really had a deep impression of him.

“You really don’t know who beat you up?” The man sitting at the head of the bed looked handsome and cold.

“Big Brother, I really don’t know.”

“Then, who have you offended recently?”

“I…” he muttered. There were too many to count.

The man looked at his expression and felt rather helpless. “Be careful in the future. Are you targeting Old Master Qiao’s granddaughter this time?”

Jiang Ershao lay on the bed and groaned. He couldn’t deny it.

“She’s not someone you can touch.”

“Why not? I like her. I want to marry her!”

The scene of Song Fengwan thanking him in the alley was still vivid in his mind. When he was close to her, he found that her eyes were watery and enchanting.

It was mainly because she was cleaner than anyone he had ever seen.

“Marry her? Do you think she’ll like you?”

“That’s hard to say. Perhaps she’ll fall in love with me.”

The man sneered…

You’re so foolish and naive. That girl is close to the Fu family, and she probably has a good relationship with Duan Linbai and his group. The people around her are all top-notch people. Why would she suddenly like you?

“Behave yourself recently.”

“Big Brother, your brother’s legs were almost broken. I just want to go out. I’m not going to run around causing trouble!”

“Does anyone else know that you devised a plan targeting Song Fengwan?”

“Just the few people around me. I’m not stupid. Why would I f*cking tell everyone?!” At this moment, Jiang Ershao didn’t know that he had been used at all. He kept groaning and feeling that he had been disfigured. “Big Brother, show me the mirror.”

The man ignored him, got up, and left the ward…

“Hey, Big Brother! Big Brother, don’t go. The mirror…” Jiang Ershao shouted. He pulled his wound and gritted his teeth in pain.

About three days after the incident, Yu Manxi invited the lady boss of the dessert shop for a meal in order to thank her for saving them. She called Song Fengwan, Fu Sinian, and Fu Chen out too.

At the time, Fu Chen and Duan Linbai were discussing business. When Duan Linbai heard that there was food, he immediately followed.

The venue was at the farm restaurant that Duan Linbai ran in the suburbs of the capital. After Duan Linbai entered the private room, he found out who was invited today.

“Isn’t this the lady boss of the dessert shop? Do you remember me? I went to your shop before.”

She was sitting quietly, still wearing a mask. When she saw Fu Chen and Duan Linbai arrive, she got up and greeted them very politely.

“I remember.”

“Your bubble tea is really good. How should I address you?”

“My surname is Xu.” She didn’t reveal her full name.

“Miss Xu.” Duan Linbai didn’t probe further into her exact name. Since she was unwilling to say it, it wasn’t good to insist on it. Besides, the surname Xu was too common. It wasn’t too conspicuous like Jing Hanchuan’s surname.

Only Yu Manxi’s eyelids twitched when she heard the surname…

The bad feeling in her heart gradually deepened.

There really might not be such a coincidence in this world.

“Big Sister Yu, are you alright?” Song Fengwan was sitting beside her and felt her body suddenly stiffen. “Is your stomach uncomfortable?”

Yu Manxi’s pregnancy was relatively stable. Previously, her morning sickness might have been due to the shock and the bumpy ride in the car. Afterward, there were no more morning sickness reactions.

“I’m fine.” Yu Manxi smiled bitterly.

“By the way, it’s rare for everyone to gather together. Let’s call Hanchuan over. Everyone has been so busy recently that we haven’t had time to get together. I’ll go out to order the food and call him.”

Duan Linbai was someone who liked to cause trouble.

The last time at the dessert shop, a certain someone had even left a note for her before leaving.

He thought that he had left his contact info, but…

He wrote that the food was delicious?

You’re a f*cking big shot in the underworld. Why are you pretending to be a literati?

“Linbai…” Yu Manxi wanted to stop him, but a certain someone had already left quickly.

“Why did you call him?” Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.

“I wanted to say that Miss Xu has allergies, so she should have some dietary restrictions. I wanted him to pay attention and not order the wrong dishes.” If Yu Manxi said that she didn’t want Jing Hanchuan to come, it would definitely arouse their suspicion, so she could only change her words at the last minute.

“I can eat anything. I’m allergic to spring pollen.” Her eyes curved, as if she didn’t care who was invited.

But her palm holding her phone suddenly felt hot.

Chuanbei Jing residence…

Jing Hanchuan was originally at the bird and fish market, preparing to buy some young fish. In the end, he only bought a few small goldfish. On the way back, he received a call from Duan Linbai.

“We’re eating. Do you want to come?”

“Why did you suddenly have a gathering? I still have something to do.” Jing Hanchuan looked at the few small fish in the plastic bag.

“This is Niece-in-Law’s treat. She’s thanking the lady boss of the dessert shop for saving them. She’s the one with the sweet voice, and we ate at her shop. Do you still remember her?”

“There are outsiders?” Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows.

“Other than her, it’s just our group. Everyone is here. Third Fu and Sinian are both here.”

“Location.”

“My farm restaurant.”

“I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”

Duan Linbai hung up the phone and couldn’t help sneering.?What f*cking outsider? Don’t come since there’s an outsider!
