Su Chen was covered in sweat and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Bai Jingyuan is always impulsive and doesn't think he's incapable of murder or arson. Besides, with the Bai family's power, even if Bai Jingyuan really killed him, it would just be another missing person, and the Bai family would quickly suppress the matter!
As for Huo Zhanhe...
Ha, that person is capable of anything to protect himself. He might turn his back on you and smear you instead!
After all, Huo Zhanhe now needs to maintain the image of a good second uncle in front of the Huo family patriarch.
Su Chen gritted his teeth and banged his head on the ground with a loud thud, breaking a large patch of skin on his forehead and causing blood to gush out.
"Young Master Bai, please let me go! I... I will do anything for you, even go through fire and water!"
"Then what about your second master?" Bai Jingyuan sat in the middle with his legs crossed.
"I...I swear," Su Chen said, his face deathly pale, "I will not reveal a single word to Huo Zhanhe!"
"Ha, I don't believe your oath." Bai Jingyuan tossed the dagger and gun aside. "But if you can really be of use to me, I might consider sparing your life."
"What are your orders, Young Master Bai?"
"You know Jiang Yao, right?" Bai Jingyuan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
Jiang Yao dared to lock his sister-in-law in the basement and even let rats in. How could Third Brother swallow this insult?
So sending Su Chen to deal with Jiang Yao is a good idea; let the wicked fight it out, and kill two birds with one stone.
Su Chen swallowed hard and asked softly, "Young Master Bai... do you want me to deal with Jiang Yao?"
"President Su, if you are willing to do things for me and Third Brother in the future, we will not treat you unfairly."
"But remember this: if you dare to reveal even the slightest bit of this information to Huo Zhanhe... ha, since Third Brother could let you go, he can also kill you! Understand?"
...
A few days later, news of Jiang Yao being scammed spread throughout the entire business district of Jiangzhou.
Even Hongzhang Company had heard of it.
Wherever Jiang Can went, he could hear his colleagues' gloating discussions.
Actually, Jiang Yao snatched that client from her.
Just two days ago, she and Jiang Yao appeared at the same time on the top floor of an office building, both to visit clients.
Jiang Can wasn't very familiar with this client; she only knew from the information Dai Wei provided that this Mr. Zhou was a Singaporean Chinese who had come to Jiangzhou specifically to invest. Dai Wei asked her to make contact first, so she went.
Unexpectedly, I ran into the arrogant Jiang Yao at the door.
"Oh, you've come to visit Mr. Zhou too?"
Jiang Yao spoke with her usual contempt, and Jiang Can felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought about her locking him in the basement; he didn't even want to look at her.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Zhou will sign the contract with me!" Jiang Yao smiled smugly. "Jiang's Group is much stronger than your little lousy company!"
"Sometimes, collaborations depend on fate," Jiang Can replied calmly. "Until the client puts their pen on the paper, anything can change!"
Jiang Yao glared at her, just then Mr. Zhou came out from inside. Jiang Yao quickly stepped forward and elbowed Jiang Can hard!
Jiang Can was in pain and had no time to prepare, when she was stepped on the instep again!
Jiang Can tripped and fell in front of everyone, looking rather disheveled.
When she looked up, she could clearly see the expression on Mr. Zhou's face; he was looking at her like she was a clown.
"Mr. Zhou, please excuse my rudeness!" Jiang Yao stepped in front of him. "Oh, this is my younger sister. Her mother has a mental illness, and she inherited it; she's a bit mentally unstable!"
"Jiang Yao!"
"Alright, alright!" Mr. Zhou waved his hand impatiently, pointing at Jiang Can, "You, go back! I'm only going to talk to Miss Jiang Yao about cooperation today."
Jiang Yao smiled sweetly, and before entering the conference room with Mr. Zhou, she gave Jiang Can a disdainful look.
Jiang Can felt both frustrated and sad, but she still tidied up the documents scattered on the floor and limped out of the building.
However, unexpectedly...
That Mr. Zhou is a liar!
Jiang Yao only discovered after signing the agreement that Mr. Zhou's company was a shell company, seemingly respectable on the surface but empty inside!
In an attempt to change Jiang Mingyuan's opinion of her and expedite the cooperation, Jiang Yao arranged for an advance payment. This resulted in the Jiang family losing tens of millions of yuan!
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Can was in a daze, as if in a dream, and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
She told Gu Mang this legendary story. "Actually, I really wanted to try again. Because the conditions that Mr. Zhou offered were just too tempting, it was like a pie falling from the sky!"
"But thinking about it now, is there really such a good thing in the world? There's a saying that goes, 'The gifts that fate bestows always come with a price tag attached!'"
“Yes.” Gu Mang looked at her with a light laugh. “So you have to be careful in the future. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
"So, it's fortunate that Jiang Yao stood in front of me!" She also felt a bit gloating. "Otherwise, I would be the one causing the company millions in losses right now!"
Silly girl, how could it be you?
Gu Mang's smile widened.
That person won't betray anyone other than Jiang Yao.
Jiang Can hummed a song while doing housework, celebrating her narrow escape from danger.
Gu Mang's phone rang once, and he went to the balcony to answer it while Jiang Can wasn't paying attention.
"Third Brother, we did as you said, having that kid Su Chen find the people." Bai Jingyuan laughed. "Jiang Yao is in big trouble now. I heard Jiang Mingyuan was furious and almost disowned his daughter. Well, tens of millions of dollars just vanished like that, anyone would be upset!"
"Yes." Gu Mang said casually, "You should thank President Su properly!"
Bai Jingyuan gave a mischievous grin.
He's good at playing pranks, especially on bad people.
But it's clear that Gu Mang is more skilled than him this time.
“By the way, Third Brother,” he added, “I’ve found the shop you wanted. But it was hard to find. I searched all over Jiangzhou City and only found a few that met my requirements.”
Bai Jingyuan sent him the photos, and Gu Mang carefully selected one. Suddenly, a storefront caught his eye.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, a small courtyard, and irises planted in the sunlight.
Inside, the interior is decorated in a light wood color. Behind the bar are two large coffee machines and a large oven, making you feel like you can smell the coffee and baking even through the screen.
The window frames were painted apple green, paired with light yellow curtains, creating a fresh and pleasant atmosphere.
Gu Mang could tell at a glance that Jiang Can would definitely like this house!
"That's it." He made the final decision.
"No problem." Bai Jingyuan smiled. "Third Brother, may I ask one more question? Are you really going to open your own shop?"
"You've decided to become a small business owner here instead of returning to the central city to inherit the family business?"
Gu Mang's eyes remained deep, but the smile on his lips did not fade.
