Chapter 237 Threaten Him

Chen Qing listened to him getting closer and closer. The moment his fingers touched her shoulder, a sharp male voice rang out, "Keep going."

She didn't even need to look back; the moment her heart stopped beating was enough to prove who the voice belonged to.

The silver-gray cufflinks flashed in the corner of his eyes. Chen Qing didn't dare to stop and ran towards the lounge obediently.

Jiang Jingyan slowly took out a cigarette, lit it with one hand, took a step forward, and the man took a step back.

He stopped and half-closed his eyes, "Do you know me?"

The man glanced at the emergency exit and nodded hesitantly.

"I've never heard of anyone who has the guts to escape from me." Jiang Jingyan walked up to him and stood still, patting him on the back of the head warningly, one after another, making him hunch over and his face turn several shades paler.

"Mr. Jiang, even when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner."

Jiang Jingyan laughed and grabbed him by the back of the neck, "Will your master pick on me because of a lackey?"

The force caused the man to convulse in pain. He clenched his teeth and remained silent. The heat from the cigarette butt burned his ears. He gradually couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees.

They were standing facing the lobby entrance, attracting many people's attention.

The hotel security wanted to come and check, and after recognizing the identity, he immediately brought people to block the passage on this side.

Jiang Jingyan extinguished his cigarette, lowered his eyes and looked at him disdainfully, then uttered four words in a cold voice, "A small punishment but a big warning."

After saying that, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and called the staff to drive them away.

The atmosphere in the venue was high. Yan Baiqing, as the new chairman of Yan Group, finished his speech and announced on the spot that he would donate another piece of jewelry.

When Jiang Jingyan sat down at table 1, everyone's attention was on the stage. He took off his coat, put his fist to his lips, and coughed softly.

Yan Baiqing's seat was two people away from him. He was a senior executive of the Yan family and wisely moved to the back row.

"You're late." He was as familiar as before.

Jiang Jingyan crossed his legs and nodded to the etiquette lady, "It's not too late. I can guess what my senior brother's speech will be about."

"Really?" Yan Baiqing chuckled, "You know me so well?"

"It's not that I understand, it's just Sima Zhao's intention."

He tilted his head, his eyes searching, "Jingyan, your congratulatory speech is quite fresh."

Jiang Jingyan looked straight ahead and said nothing.

The next performer came on stage. The girls were all wearing cheongsams of similar styles and colors. He found Chen Qing effortlessly and fixed his eyes on her.

Yan Baiqing tapped the armrest intermittently, "Have you said hello to Aunt Jiang?"

"With Yan's hospitality, I don't have to worry about my mother."

"The Zhong family is still wary of my Yan family. You are really bold."

The string music shielded their voices. Jiang Jingyan leaned on the armrest, his fingers resting on his temples, and spoke slowly, "Senior Brother has taken on Director Yan's responsibility. He should understand that if the Yan family had behaved themselves, the Zhong family wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Yan Baiqing was obviously in a good mood and didn't care. He slowly blew away the mist in the teacup and said, "My mother is stubborn and has made the Zhong family laugh at her. I told her that my enemy is not the Jiang family, nor you."

Jiang Jingyan heard that he had something else to say, but remained unmoved.

After a long while, Yan Baiqing put down his teacup, clasped his hands in front of him, sat upright, and looked at Chen Qing under the stage lights. "Now, I'm afraid I have a reason to break my promise."

Jiang Jingyan's eyebrows twitched, and a string in his head suddenly tightened. Yan Baiqing's smile didn't reach his eyes, and his tone was unrecognizable. "What gift have you prepared? Can you tell me?"

The song ends on stage.

Chen Qing followed her classmates off the stage. A man who looked like a bodyguard was waiting backstage. "Ms. Chen, Mr. Yan wants you to come over."

She paused, "I have to go back to school."

The bodyguard leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Yan said that Li Xiangli has been found and the school has been notified. You can go without worry."

Without thinking much, Chen Qing followed him to the audience and saw the man sitting next to Yan Baiqing at a glance.

Her heart was clenched and she couldn't breathe. "Where should I sit?"

"There's an extra chair next to Mr. Yan."

"Can I change it?"

The bodyguard bowed and said, "You can discuss this with Mr. Yan."

Chen Qing walked forward hesitantly. The closer she got, the slower she walked. It would have been fine if Jiang Jingyan was not around. She could coax Yan Baiqing and follow his wishes. But now, it was like a Shura field.

The hostess saw her first and pulled out a chair.

The two men turned around at the same time. Chen Qing didn't dare to look around and stared at Yan Baiqing, "Mr. Yan, you are looking for me."

"Come here." Mr. Yan reached out and held her hand.

Chen Qing dodged quickly and used the violin case to allow him to grab only his wrist.

Jiang Jingyan kicked the table leg hard, and the teacup fell over, flooding the chair cushion with tea.

Chen Qing's heart was pounding and he was at a loss.

"Sorry." Jiang Jingyan unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, looking unrestrained.

Yan Baiqing's face darkened visibly.

Chen Qing quickly interjected, "It doesn't matter where I sit."

"There's a vacant seat, why bother, senior brother?" Jiang Jingyan lifted the tea lid, and the crisp sound exploded in the ears of the people around him.

Rumors were flying around in the circle. The three of them met at the same time. The longer Chen Qing stood there, the more people noticed him.

Yan Baiqing pursed his lips and looked up, "Qing'er, there are two seats, where do you want to sit?"

Chen Qing clasped the handle of the violin case tightly, his chest heaving violently.

There are two empty seats, one on the left next to Jiang Jingyan and one on the right next to Yan Baiqing.

She lowered her head to think, then chose to sit on the right.

Yan Baiqing's smile deepened. He moved a plate of snacks in front of her and picked up a piece. "This is the flavor you like. Let's fill your stomach first."

Chen Qing's head was a mess. He opened his mouth numbly, took it in, bit it into pieces, and swallowed it whole. As expected, he choked.

Yan Baiqing held her head and fed her tea, "Jingyan, where were we just now?"

Jiang Jingyan's face was extremely gloomy as he stared at his fingers on Chen Qing's carotid artery.

A silent threat.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the city task force, Yan Baiqing planned this backup plan.

He made it clear.
