The marks on Tang Beibeiâs face were quite obvious, but she had to go to school. Ruan Qi helped Tang Beibei put on a thick layer of foundation to cover the red marks.
When Ruan Qi was helping her, she was still cursing under her breath all the things that hurt her.
She was very eloquent and never repeated herself. Tang Beibei was used to it but when Song Zhou heard her, he thought that this girl was really interesting. The more he listened, the more he felt that she was doing a stand-up comedy.
Jiang Jingchen asked Tang Beibei to take leave today, but she didnât agree. So, they went to school.
After the girls walked into school, Jiang Jingchenâs face turned cold. They went back to the villa and began to deal with yesterdayâs incident.
Song Zhou reported, âThose people are still tied up. Theyâve all confessed. Jiang Minglang gave them five hundred thousand yuan to cripple you. These people are just a bunch of hooligans, not some ruthless characters. Jiang Minglang made a really bad move.â
What was more infuriating was that Jiang Jingchen was the first young master of the Jiang family, but his legs were only worth 500,000 yuan?
Jiang Minglang clearly had no respect for him!
Jiang Jingchen said without expression, âSplit those people up into two groups. Drop one group at Jiang Minglangâs villa, and the other group at the club where Jiang Minglang hangs out.â
âYes. Get them to do it now.â
Song Zhou then continued, âWen Nan has already gone back to the Wen residence after she found out that the first young miss of the Wen Family is back in the country. Old Master Wen is in poor health and may not make it. His children are back to see him off.â
The moment Old Master Wen dropped dead was the moment the fight for inheritance would start in the Wen family. Wen Nanâs motive for returning at this time was obvious.
âSince Jiang Minglang already knows about my legs, news will soon get out. This secret is no longer a secret and Wen Nan has become worthless. Deal with her as your see fit.â
Song Zhou had been waiting for him to say this, so he nodded respectfully.
Jiang Jingchen continued, âJiang Minglang has given us such a big present. How can we not give him a little surprise, huh?â
Jiang Minglang visited Song Hai at the hospital. Song Hai was still upset and throwing a tantrum.
Since he found out that he had lost his dignity as a man, his temper had become strange. He was irritable and angry all the time. He thought that everyone was mocking him even when they were saying the most harmless things. Song Hai didnât hold back even when Old Master Song was in the ward.
The doctor said that it was serious psychological trauma after his injury. He had to undergo counseling, or his extreme mental state could become dangerous.
Jiang Minglang looked at his emasculated cousin with sympathy, and no other emotion. He comforted Old Master Song and promised that he would find out who did it before he left.
He walked out of the hospital and went to the garage. Just as he was about to open his car door, he saw an injured man lying beside his car. The man was covered in blood and looked quite scary.
However, the man was still conscious. He crawled to Jiang Minglangâs feet and hugged his leg.
âYoung Master Minglang, save, save me!â
âWho are you? What are you doing here? Get lost!â
Jiang Minglang didnât know him.
âYoung Master Minglang, save me, please save me!â
There were many people coming and going at the hospital. A few passersby saw the man covered in blood and shouted in shock.
âMurder, someone has been murdered! Ahhhh!â
Jiang Minglang was furious and kicked the man away, but the man crawled back and hugged his leg.
âYoung Master Minglang, please save my brothers. If you donât save them, they will die.â
âI donât even know you. Why would I save your brothers?â Jiang Minglang was annoyed. He wanted to shake off the man and leave, but there were doctors and security guards running towards him.
âYoung Master Minglang, youâre my brother. We, we are the people who took your money to cripple Jiang Jingchen.â
Jiang Minglang furrowed his brows. The people he hired were nothing but a monetary transaction. He had never met them.
He was going to ask the man what happened when a doctor ran over and started treating the man on the floor. Jiang Minglang was frustrated and wanted to know how the matter from yesterday was handled, so he went back to the hospital with them. He would find out what happened before he helped them.
When the doctor was bandaging the man, he heard part of their conversation and looked at them strangely.
Jiang Minglang didnât want anyone else to know about the incident, so he told the man to speak only after the doctor left.
The man told him that the plan had failed. Not only were Jiang Jingchenâs legs fine, but he was also very skilled in Kung Fu. He also seemed to be carrying. The man did not finish his sentence but made a hand gesture.
âWe were all shocked. Jiang Jingchen was not as weak as the rumors said. He was very strong and had strong defensive skills.â
His brothers had been captured. He needed a million yuan to save them, or those people would kill them.
Jiang Minglangâs face was cold as he questioned the man, âHow did you know that I was the one behind this?â
Jiang Minglang wasnât stupid enough to let them know that he was the one who wanted Jiang Jingchen legs crippled again.
The man felt slightly shameful. âFor this kind of business, we always secretly investigate the person who hired us to protect ourselves. Young Master Minglang, please save my brothers.â
âSo, you told them that I was the one who instructed you to do this?â
H 11
The brawny man lowered his head, feeling extremely shameful.
At that time, in the pitch-black maple forest, those people had tied them up, covered their mouths, and stabbed them with daggers. The stabs were all non-lethal, but they were in so much pain that they gave everything up.
Jiang Minglang was furious. They had broken the rules by giving up the person who hired them. How dare they come to him for help now? They must be dreaming!
âThen let me go back and get the money ready first. Contact me when you have any new information.â Jiang Minglang said tactfully without starting a fight.
Jiang Minglang got into his car and thought about Jiang Jingchen. His head hurt.
These people had done similar things in the past and had never failed. No matter what, they still had some brains and brawn. Yet they had failed so miserably this time. Jiang Jingchen was really impressive!
It seemed that Yang Hao was right. This Jiang Jingchen wasnât as weak and easy to bully as he appeared.
At that time, he didnât take Yang Haoâs words to heart. He thought that even if Jiang Jingchenâs legs had recovered, he had been recuperating for so many years that he might not be able to do much.
But now, he had to re-evaluate Jiang Jingchen.
He went to the office to settle some work matters. As soon as he arrived, his assistant said in a panic that an injured person had come to look for him and was making a scene downstairs.
Jiang Minglang had a bad feeling. He went downstairs to the lobby and saw a fat man covered in wounds. The man shouted for Jiang Minglang to save his life but the security guards stopped him. Many passersby had gathered around to watch the show.
Jiang Minglang was frustrated. When would this be over?
If this matter blew up, it would not be good for him.
He ordered his assistant to get the security guards to grab the fat man and lock him up in the companyâs logistics department storage room with a gag.
âWhatâs going on here? Someone causing trouble so early in the morning?â
Jiang Minglang looked over. It was Yang Hao, the president of CJ China, who was also the youngest senior executive of CJ.
âHello, Yang Hao. Heâs just some random people.â
Yang Hao turned his head curiously. When he heard the man ask Young Master Minglang to save his life, he thought for a few seconds and said to Jiang Minglang, âYoung Master Minglang, does this man have something to do with the first young master?â
â⦠Letâs talk upstairs.â Jiang Minglang frowned. He felt that this man was too smart, which made him afraid, but at the same time, lucky that they were on the same side.
CJ was trying to expand their market to China, so they needed him. Yang Hao had a favor to ask of him and wanted to please him. Jiang Minglang was keenly aware of that.
When they arrived at Jiang Minglangâs office, Yang Hao asked, âDid your plan fail?â
âYou sure know whatâs happening.â
Yang Hao chuckled. âYoung Master Minglang, CJ wants to enter the domestic market. After comparing various potential partners, I still think that the Jiang family is the most suitable partner. Of course, I would investigate your family matters.â
âYoung Master Minglang, why donât we discuss a collaboration?â
âWhat kind of collaboration?â
âIâll help you deal with Jiang Jingchen, and CJ and Jiang Corporation become business partners. How about that?â
Yang Haoâs position was very clear. It was profitable for him to work with Jiang Corporation. It looked like this man would do anything for his own interests..
