When Chen Qing met Jiang Jingyan, he was, like in the eyes of the outside world, impossibly high above her.
This was because for most of his life, Mr. Jiang had maintained a pristine, upright...
Chapter 197 I feel sorry for her
There was no sound in the box for a while, until a group of thugs in black short-sleeved shirts rushed in and blocked the door.
Boss Song dragged over a chair and sat down in an imposing manner, "This gentleman doesn't understand the rules of Wuhen Village. I'm too lazy to teach him."
The henchmen all raised their arms and shouted, "Master Song is the rule!"
Boss Song spread his hands and bared his teeth proudly, "A new emperor appoints new ministers. You can shout all you want in your own territory, but when you come here, you have to recognize the situation."
Jiang Jingyan put out his cigarette, crossed his left leg, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, silently intimidating.
Lian Zhuo glanced around and saw more than ten people. He could hold them off. "Boss Song, think it over. If we reveal our identities, you will be the one who suffers."
Boss Song's heart skipped a beat, and he found a way out. "We're all in the underworld, so I won't force anyone to do anything inconvenient. But if you come up here and use threats and bribes, these brothers won't tolerate it."
The thugs were approaching with a humming sound. Jiang Jingyan supported his jaw and lightly tapped with his index finger. Lian Zhuo immediately knocked down the two closest ones.
Boss Song's face froze.
When negotiating with a gangster, the most direct way is to use the gangster's methods.
Jiang Jingyan remained motionless, his face gloomy. "I'll only give you one hour."
"What."
"One hour, bring the person I want here. One minute more, the road construction project in Wuhen Village, replacement."
Boss Song suddenly slammed the table and said, "I'm giving you a way out, but you're just being so arrogant!"
The henchman came closer and chimed in, "Master Song, this guy is definitely trying to bluff us! Our project has been approved by the city, and the procedures are all legal. How can he just change people just because he wants to?"
"Shut up!" Boss Song scolded in a low voice. He really had no idea about Jiang Jingyan's background. The project hadn't been announced yet, but this man had first-hand information and was also aware that he had committed a crime outside. Judging from his skills, he was no ordinary person.
He thought for half a minute and said unwillingly, "Who do you want?"
"Li Xiangli's wife."
“Never heard of it.”
Jiang Jingyan lost all his patience, took out his cell phone, sent a message, and stood up to walk out.
The thug at the door was stunned by the man's aggressive attitude and did not dare to act rashly.
Boss Song's pocket buzzed. He took it out and looked at the screen. He was horrified and said, "Stop it!"
The man who was half a step away from Jiang Jingyan stretched out his arm, and Lian Zhuo twisted it with his backhand, making a crisp sound.
Screams rang out.
"Don't move, don't move!" Boss Song chased out and pushed those people away, "I told you to come back here!"
He nodded and smiled flatteringly, "Let's chat for a while. We haven't eaten yet, right?"
Jiang Jingyan sat back in the main seat, frowning, "Bring people."
Boss Song waved his hand and all his men withdrew.
"It's not that I won't help you." He bowed and poured tea. "Li Xiangli entrusted his family to me. How could I betray my own brothers behind their backs?"
Lian Zhuo saw that Jiang Jingyan was on the verge of exploding, and separated Boss Song, "Just a few questions."
"Li Xiangli specifically instructed that his wife not see anyone, especially..." He paused for a few seconds, observing from the corner of his eye, "especially those specially hired."
Jiang Jingyan raised his hand casually and looked at his watch.
This action made Boss Song panic. He drank a cup of tea and hesitated for a moment, "How about... if you have anything to say, I can pass it on for you?"
"Boss Song is a real man." Jiang Jingyan laughed, his tone mocking, "You have to be on guard against others. You can shirk responsibility if someone threatens the safety of women and children. Since I chose to let you bring people here, I naturally don't want their location to be exposed. Otherwise, why waste time."
He was stunned.
Jiang Jingyan narrowed his eyes, "Don't you understand yet?"
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a long while. Boss Song slapped his thigh and held up the teacup. "Please wait a moment."
Wuhen Village has mountains and water, especially mountains, which surround the county town. The unique terrain advantage makes it easy to hide someone. Some of the small roads and caves may not be found by locals.
Therefore, Boss Song was not afraid of being followed in the car and asked his subordinates to pick up Li Xiangli's wife.
Jiang Jingyan was as steady as a rock. After the food was served, he slowly and calmly picked up his chopsticks.
Boss Song couldn't eat a single bite. The message just now was sent by the owner of his casino in the city. The casino was set up in a KTV and used regular business to cover up its activities. As a result, the higher-ups suddenly came to investigate, as if they had obtained intelligence and were going straight to the source.
He knew that the man in front of him had reached the end of his patience.
Anyone who has such great ability is either a white-collar worker or a black-collar worker. In short, he is not someone he can compete with.
Within half an hour, the door of the box was pushed open, and a woman dressed simply stood outside.
Her eyes fell on the man in the main seat. Based on his temperament and style, she judged his identity and subconsciously wanted to escape.
Boss Song quickly tried to stop her, "Sister-in-law! Don't be afraid, come in first..."
Jiang Jingyan looked her up and down. Although she was dressed deliberately modestly, her figure and face showed that she had no worries about food and clothing.
The year he found the Li family, Chen Qing had just been released from a mental hospital. Comparing the two, one was living a comfortable life while the other was devastated both physically and mentally.
"In the past few years, Li Xiangli has led you through a good life."
The woman's face turned pale and her lips trembled. "What do you want to do?"
He held an unlit cigarette between his fingers, turning it over and over. "Reporting on the unscrupulous boss is a good thing. Why are you hiding?"
"Who are you here for?"
"List."
The woman's eyes suddenly turned red and she clenched her fists, "There's no one left in the Chen family."
Jiang Jingyan paused, anger surging, "So sending the Chen family's daughter to Qingyoufu Garden was also your plan."
He restrained himself from hitting women, and a cold look appeared on his face.
Chen Qing’s experience is still vivid in his mind. He became an orphan overnight and was sent to a den of tigers and wolves by his once trusted uncle. He suffered inhuman torture at such a young age and lived in fear day and night.
Jiang Jingyan felt as if a sharp knife had been inserted into his heart, causing him to tremble with pain. "The Chen couple died tragically in prison. If our daughter goes to that place, she won't survive either, right?"
Lian Zhuo took a breath. He really didn't expect how cruel Li Xiangli's family was.
If Jiang Jingyan had not appeared in time six years ago and rescued Chen Qing, no one in the Chen family would have stood up for Chen Cheng and his wife.
If they framed the boss for profit, Li Xiangli would be an ungrateful person at best, but they even spared no effort to harm the child. Their intentions are despicable.
"What on earth do you want?" The woman collapsed. Days of hiding had left her mentally strained. "Chen Cheng took the wrong path! Our entire family is now half-dead! Enough is enough!"
Jiang Jingyan threw down his cigarette and unbuttoned a few buttons with his fingertips. His murderous aura suddenly surged. "I forced my boss, who had been so kind to me, to death. How can this torture be enough?"
"The Chen family has done us a favor, but they also did something wrong! There are laws and evidence, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"If it's really as you said, and Li Xiangli falls into the hands of the other party, there's no need for me to rescue him."
The woman was stunned, "What..."
Jiang Jingyan said nothing and drank his tea calmly.
"Brother Song!" The woman threw herself on Boss Song's legs. "What happened to Xiang Li?"
The latter glanced at the man and hesitantly helped her up, "Sister-in-law, Xiang Li and you are going your separate ways. Someone is looking for you here, and there must be someone looking for him there too. Whether this person is a friend or an enemy, you can judge for yourself."
Lian Zhuo raised his eyebrows. It seemed that without some skills, he really couldn't become the overlord of Wuhen Village.
