Chapter 215: Chapter 215: 215: The King's Return (12)

Chuzheng’s request was something that nobody present had anticipated.

An object worth hundreds of millions, sinking to the bottom of the sea?

Had she gone mad?

But Chuzheng was clearly not joking around; she was serious and solemn in what she said.

Jiang Ye glanced at Sheng Ting, and seeming to think of something, he suddenly asked Chuzheng, “Miss Sheng, shall we leave together?”

Chuzheng looked at him and nodded.

The demand of the Good Person Card must be fulfilled!

One cannot reject the Good Person Card!

Today, I also must be a good person!

“Master Jiang?” The people with Jiang Ye were surprised and reminded him uncertainly, “Master Jiang, perhaps we should…”

Jiang Ye raised his hand, “You go back first.”

“Master Jiang…”

Jiang Ye looked over indifferently.

His gaze wasn’t sharp, and there was even a hint of a smile on his lips, yet it gave an intangible pressure.

The man dared not say more, bowed slightly, and took his leave with the others.

“Mr. Eric, we shall collaborate again in the future,” Jiang Ye said with a smile as he bid farewell to Eric.

Eric might still have been immersed in shock at the idea of someone spending a billion to sink his merchandise.

When he heard Jiang Ye’s voice, he came back to his senses, “I’m looking forward to working with Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Ye exchanged a few pleasantries with Eric and then followed Chuzheng.

Jiang Ye could even feel the burning gaze of Sheng Ting on him as if trying to pierce right through him.

He slightly curved his lips into a smile and got into Chuzheng’s car.

The vehicle isolated them from the outside views, making the interior very quiet.

The young girl sitting beside him was looking down at her phone, giving off a very peaceful vibe.

Jiang Ye said with a hint of mirth, “Miss Sheng, your spirit really impresses me.”

“Sink to the bottom of the sea?”

Jiang Ye shrugged, “Or what else?”

With a stern face, Chuzheng said, “I have money.” Money that I can’t spend all, not sinking it in the sea, and if I sell it off, it’s just more money. Am I mad?

Sinking it in the sea is better!

“…”

Indeed, the wealth passed down through the generations is different.

Jiang Ye’s fingertips rested upon his knees as the river scenery gradually faded and the dim light flickered, sketching an intermittent silhouette of him.

“Aren’t you afraid someone might tamper with it?”

Chuzheng replied in an even, cold tone, “I don’t care about that amount of money.”

Jiang Ye was dazzled by her display of wealth.

He had seen many rich people, capable of discarding several millions, even tens of millions, without any psychological pressure.

But billions!

Was she really indifferent about giving it away?

“If Miss Sheng doesn’t want it, how about giving it to me?”

“Do you want it?” Chuzheng looked up, “Okay, I’ll have Eric deliver it to you.”

Jiang Ye: “…”

He was just making a casual remark!

Chuzheng had already taken out her phone to call Eric, but Jiang Ye lifted his hand to stop her.

When his fingertip touched Chuzheng’s hand, Jiang Ye’s expression changed slightly, feeling as if burned; he quickly withdrew it.

The warmth and smoothness from his fingertip made Jiang Ye’s heartbeat accelerate.

Jiang Ye’s fair skin blushed slightly, but fortunately, the light in the car was dim, hiding the change on his face.

It was just a touch…

Why such a big reaction?

The young girl herself had no response at all!

Wait a minute!

Jiang Ye’s eyes flicked towards Chuzheng, the young girl had stopped what she was doing and was staring intently at him.

Indeed, not a single reaction…

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his lips curling into a beautiful arch, “Miss Sheng, I was just joking. I don’t want this shipment.”

“Didn’t you just say you wanted it?” Here, take it! I’m quite willing! Isn’t the Good Person Card meant to help me deal with such troubles?!

“I was kidding,” said Jiang Ye, “Miss Sheng, giving me so much merchandise would bring trouble upon me.”

Chuzheng pondered for a moment, “I’ll give it to you secretly.”

That should solve the problem, right?

I’m being considerate!

Take it!

“…”

Jiang Ye felt conflicted.

Why was she acting like she was trying to rid herself of a hot potato?

That’s over a hundred million!

“No need, Miss Sheng.”

Jiang Ye firmly refused, and Chuzheng, disappointed, let others continue with the arrangements for Sinking in the Sea.

Chuzheng was somewhat unwilling to give up, “You really don’t want it?”

The thing I’m offering you is free, so why not take it!

Is this Good Person Card a fool?

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head, “No.”

He wouldn’t dare to take that shipment lightly.

Not to mention the kind of troubles it might bring to Hei Jin, but also, it would put him in a peculiar relationship with this young lady.

He was not willing.

Chuzheng didn’t ask further, and the car grew quiet.

The car gradually entered the city, with neon lights flickering around.

In the interweaving lights and shadows, Jiang Ye rested his chin on his hand, casually watching the street views whizz past the window.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly asked, “Miss Sheng, do you truly not hate Sheng Ting?”

“I don’t.”

“Then why did you come today?” It was clear she came to compete with Sheng Ting.

Chuzheng said earnestly, “For the money.”

“…”

–

Chuzheng’s car stopped in front of a hotel, and Jiang Ye got out, ready to say goodbye.

But Chuzheng handed him a room card.

Jiang Ye didn’t take it, politely declining, “Miss Sheng, I have a place to stay.”

“Hmm.” Chuzheng stuffed the room card into his hand.

Jiang Ye’s long, jade-like hands squeezed the room card, his profile bathed in the crystal light, as beautiful as an art piece in a display window.

Is it still possible for him to run away now?

Jiang Ye glanced at the bodyguard standing behind him, who had sealed off his path of escape tightly.

Does this mean they don’t intend to let him leave?

“Mr. Jiang,” the bodyguard gestured with a ‘Please,’ “This way, please.”

Jiang Ye: “…”

Jiang Ye stepped forward, following Chuzheng, and took the elevator up to the room.

“Miss Sheng, what are you planning to do with me?”

“Sleep.” What else would one do late at night if not sleep?

Jiang Ye was shocked.

Sleep? Sleep what?

He truly had no intention of offering himself!!

Even if you really did save me, it wouldn’t be okay!

If anything, he could save himself later!

Offering himself was out of the question!

With an indifferent face, Chuzheng swiped the card to open the door: “Good night.”

The door closed, leaving Jiang Ye and the bodyguard outside.

Jiang Ye: “…”

“Mr. Jiang.”

The bodyguard indicated the room opposite to Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye sighed, went over to swipe the card and entered the room.

As he closed the door, he noticed the two bodyguards turn to stand guard at the entrance.

Jiang Ye closed the door with mixed feelings.

Why did he feel that something was off with this scenario?

Shouldn’t this be the plotline of an overbearing CEO?

Yet he was supposed to be that overbearing CEO!!

After entering the room, Jiang Ye pulled out his phone to arrange for his people to come and get him.

Not long after he sent the message, someone knocked on the door.

Jiang Ye went to open the door and saw the young girl standing outside, holding a medical kit.

“Miss Sheng?”

“I’m here to check on your wounds.”

“I’m fine, my wounds are not serious…”

Chuzheng expressionlessly pushed past him into the room.

Jiang Ye’s grip on the door handle tightened as he closed the door and walked into the room.

Leaning against the wall, with a smile that was not quite a smile, Jiang Ye watched the young girl open the medical kit, “Miss Sheng, coming to a man’s room late at night, don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate?”

Chuzheng, taking out what she needed and placing them on the table, asked calmly and indifferently, “What’s inappropriate about it?”

What’s inappropriate?

Everything is inappropriate!
