After all, Jiang Zetian is still the official head of the Jiang family.

Even if he is just an acting head of the family, he is still the head of the family.

The elders of the Jiang family invited Xing Nanshan without consulting him, which infuriated Jiang Zetian.

But he dared not show it on his face, and could only pretend to be happy.

"The Jiang family head is truly a filial son."

Luo Chen immediately saw through Jiang Zetian's thoughts and made a sarcastic remark.

He was laughing so hard his belly almost split open.

Without the old man in charge of the Jiang family, you're under a lot of pressure?

I'm afraid that once the old man wakes up, you'll be under the most pressure!

As Luo Chen smiled, a chill ran through him.

Indeed, the saying that there is no kinship within aristocratic families is true.

Although Luo Chen did not know the details of the incident, he could guess some of the facts.

In order to serve as the acting head of the family for a longer period of time, Jiang Zetian heartlessly refused to provide the old man with the best treatment.

Despite Xing Nanshan being the best doctor in Yan Province, Jiang Zetian has never sought him out.

With the Jiang family's wealth, how could they possibly not be able to hire Xing Nanshan!

Indeed, there is no kinship within aristocratic families.

"Hehe, my dear nephew, please stop teasing me. By the way, what brings you to the Jiang family today?"

Jiang Zetian shook his head, addressing him as "my dear nephew" repeatedly.

In reality, although Jiang Zetian kept smiling, he was in a very bad mood.

Because the assassination attempt on Jiang Shiyu failed again!

Before Jiang Zetian could find out the reason for the mission's failure, Luo Chen arrived with Wolf Fang.

Jiang Zetian had no choice but to come forward.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Zetian would simply ignore them. But the Jiang family, being one of only two super families in Yan Province, truly doesn't need to give face to others.

But Luo Chen is different.

The Luo family is the most promising family to become the third largest super family.

Jiang Zetian really didn't dare to offend Luo Chen.

The situation in the Jiang family is very delicate now. Once the old man wakes up, Jiang Zetian will have no choice but to step down.

At that time, Jiang Zetian will need a sizable partner to help him regain his position as head of the Jiang family.

After looking at all the options, the Luo family seems to be the most influential.

Therefore, Jiang Zetian would not only refuse to entertain Luo Chen, but even if Luo Chen wanted to ride around the Jiang family compound, Jiang Zetian would have to agree!

You have no choice but to agree!

Didn't Jiang Shiyu tell you?

Luo Chen looked at Jiang Zetian with a half-smile and suddenly asked.

"Shiyu? No, what did she tell me..."

Jiang Zetian didn't react for a moment, and then said steadily.

"Jiang Shiyu was assassinated, but I saved her."

Luo Chen held the teacup in his palm, gently touching the inside of the cup with the rim, and said calmly, "It's a pity that the other party almost succeeded. Fortunately, I caught them in the act. For that alone, Patriarch Jiang should thank me properly, hahaha."

Click!

Jiang Zetian gripped the chair armrest so tightly that he actually managed to scratch a crack in it.

In his anger, Jiang Zetian momentarily forgot to pretend, and even his expression became somewhat ferocious.

Damn it.

So it was you, kid?!

You ruined my plans, and you still dare to come to the Jiang family to ask for a reward?

How can someone be so shameless?!

Jiang Zetian was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

This was such a good opportunity, and we finally caught Jiang Shiyu out, but Luo Chen ruined it all?

Jiang Zetian was furious.

If it weren't for the last vestiges of reason that kept Jiang Zetian in check, he would have gone on a rampage and killed people!

Wolf Fang noticed Jiang Zetian's strange behavior and stepped forward to block Luo Chen.

"Thank you for your help at this critical moment. I don't know who the Jiang family has offended recently, but there are always villains targeting our Jiang family."

Jiang Zetian let out a deep breath and forced a smile.

It's not the right time yet.

We can't afford to offend the Luo family right now.

Jiang Zetian had no choice but to swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

"Patriarch Jiang, you are too kind. This is all I should do as a junior."

Luo Chen said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Patriarch Jiang, the safety of Jiang Shiyu will be taken care of by our Luo family from now on. If anyone dares to lay a hand on Jiang Shiyu again, our Luo family will be the first to not let them off the hook!"

Wolf Fang twitched his lips, his mind racing with all the sad things he had encountered, before finally suppressing his laughter.

Luo Chen's move... was too cunning.

Even though Wolf Fang didn't understand the power struggles within aristocratic families, he could see it now.

Jiang Zetian clearly didn't want Jiang Shiyu to live.

Although the reason is unclear, the person who repeatedly tried to assassinate Jiang Shiyu should have been sent by Jiang Zetian himself.

Luo Chen's words were undoubtedly a blatant taunt, yet Jiang Zetian managed to endure them. Langya was impressed and gave Jiang Zetian a thumbs up in his heart.

You're so patient, even a tortoise couldn't compare...

"Really? Thank you so much, my dear nephew..."

Jiang Zetian gritted his teeth, trying his best not to give himself away.

But the anger burning in his heart made Jiang Zetian feel his throat bobbing, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

Just then, Jiang Xinyu gracefully walked in from the side. As soon as she entered, her beautiful eyes fell on Luo Chen. She smiled slightly and said, "Father, Young Master Luo is here. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hello, Miss Jiang."

Luo Chen was taken aback, then nodded politely.

Even if he wasn't interested in this woman, he at least had to maintain a semblance of politeness.

"Xinyu is here? Hehe... You young people really have things to talk about. Spend more time chatting with Young Master Luo. I have high hopes for you."

Jiang Zetian breathed a sigh of relief; Jiang Xinyu's appearance had saved him from the predicament.

However, when he noticed the way Jiang Xinyu looked at Luo Chen, his mind immediately started racing.

Jiang Zetian knew his daughter's temperament well; very few men in Yan Province could meet her standards.

Hearing that Luo Chen had arrived, he rushed over in a hurry.

Jiang Zetian could see through the trickery without even asking.

"If I could help Xinyu and Luochen become a couple, it would save me a lot of trouble..."

Jiang Zetian's eyes darted around, and a plan came to him.

If he could bring the Luo family onto his side, the benefits would be enormous.

The best way to bind someone is through love.

Jiang Zetian was determined to make Jiang Xinyu use every trick in the book to tie Luo Chen to the Jiang family's ship!

"Young Master Luo, you're here, why didn't you let us know?"

Jiang Xinyu smiled slightly, her ambiguous tone carrying a hint of resentment.

"I came in such a hurry, I forgot, I forgot..."

Luo Chen's expression turned strange.

What's up with this girl?

Luo Chen remembered that when he met Jiang Xinyu before, she wasn't this proactive.

What went wrong?

Luo Chen couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Seeing Jiang Xinyu's attitude, she became even more proactive. Luo Chen was busy defending himself and was a little flustered.
