Dude, you're really on point!
Boss, you bastard, just as you predicted!
Cai Wujin chuckled inwardly.
He and Jiang Chu were two unparalleled scoundrels, practically a match made in heaven.
Of all the comedic duos, only he and Jiang Chu could sing it so well.
They invited Cui Zhencheng into the villa and led him to Jiang Chu's room on the second floor.
Seeing that Jiang Chu was still in the incubation chamber, Cai Wujin couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, let's go sit on the first floor for a while."
"Okay! Okay!" Cui Zhencheng looked at Jiang Chu, feeling very upset.
Cui Zhenxian died at Jiang Chu's hands. Although Cui Zhencheng hated Jiang Chu, he did not want things to have come to this point.
Because he had anticipated this outcome.
But he didn't expect things to escalate to such a huge extent.
The Xia Kingdom would actually announce the withdrawal of all aid to Ke for the sake of a mere Jiang Chu.
Previously, Corey didn't care about these things because the global war was raging at the time, and Xia Kingdom needed to unite more forces to deal with the bio-chemical camp.
However, now that the Xia Kingdom has become stronger and its military has become more elite, it is winning victory after victory on the domestic battlefield, which puts increasing pressure on Korei.
So, they really chickened out.
Left with no other choice, they had to compromise step by step.
Moreover, this mistake was entirely their fault.
Choi Jin-sung waited until dinner time.
Jiang Chu then went downstairs, complaining as he went, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you cook porridge again? I'm about to throw up from drinking it. I want to eat meat!"
Jiang Yue'er pretended to be aggrieved in the kitchen: "Brother, Instructor Tuoba said you can't eat this. You can only eat bland food now!"
"Damn, my mouth is so bland!"
After all, Choi Jin-sung is an outsider.
So Jiang Yue'er even changed how she addressed him, so as not to let the other party notice anything amiss.
Even though the other person was a good person.
Upon seeing Jiang Chu come down, looking rather unwell, Cui Zhencheng felt distressed. He quickly went over and gave Jiang Chu a military salute.
"Brother? You... what brings you here?" Jiang Chu feigned surprise, then said happily, "Come, sit down! Sit down! Let's have a good drink tonight!"
"Brother, you can't drink alcohol!" Jiang Yue'er said irritably. "You can only drink porridge and noodle soup!"
A bitter look appeared on Jiang Chu's face. He looked at Cai Wujin and said, "Old Cai, tell the canteen to prepare some beef ribs, grill them until they're tender, and also some kimchi, kimchi, lettuce, and oh yeah, and some wine! Bring out my 20-year-old vintage! I can't drink anymore, you drink with me."
Cui Zhencheng was almost in tears. He couldn't hold back any longer and knelt down before Jiang Chu, kowtowing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm so sorry!"
Jiang Chu helped him up and said calmly, "The one who should apologize is never you. My brother Cui would never do such a thing!"
Jiang Chu's words were calm, but they were like the sharpest knife, piercing Cui Zhencheng's heart in an instant.
...
The food arrived shortly afterward.
Beef ribs, and the best beef ribs at that.
Choi Jin-seo took a bite and was surprised to find that the meat tasted even better than the meat from his hometown.
The people of Korei love barbecue, and their favorite barbecue items are pork belly and beef ribs.
Unfortunately, beef ribs are extremely expensive. With more than half of the country now occupied and many cattle farms closed, the price of beef ribs has been rising continuously, reaching 700 KP per kilogram.
For military personnel and some high-income earners, this is nothing.
But for ordinary people, this is an astronomical price.
Cui Zhencheng saw Jiang Yue'er carefully cutting beef ribs. She chopped the meat into small pieces and put it into Jiang Chu's rice porridge, stirring it repeatedly.
At this moment, Jiang Yue'er's lips twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Cui Zhencheng could tell that the girl's relationship with Jiang Chu was extraordinary, and he could also tell how terrible Jiang Chu's accident must have been.
“Those two aren’t dead,” Jiang Chu suddenly said.
“Uh.” Choi Jin-seo was stunned.
Since it was a matter of life and death, the Cui family told Cui Zhencheng everything, revealing the whole truth.
But why did Jiang Chu suddenly bring this up?
Although Choi Jin-sung was an honest man, he was also very calculating. He knew that the other party was going to make an exorbitant demand.
Of course, this is also the best outcome.
“They’ve all confessed,” Jiang Chu said. “Cui Longcheng is an orphan, with no one to rely on, so it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies. As for Jin Zezhu’s family, our Xia Kingdom has already taken them under protection.”
"I know everything," Choi Jin-sung sighed. "I'm so sorry."
“Brother, I have a nickname, you should know it.” Jiang Chu said with a self-deprecating smile, “My name is Long the Pit God. I specialize in ripping people off, and I won’t do anything without a profit. But I’m telling you seriously, this time I really don’t want to rip you off, because I don’t bully honest people.”
“I understand, and we will find a way to make up for your losses.”
Jiang Chu shook his head and said, "This is not my loss, it is your loss. I just don't understand how you dare to cause trouble at this critical moment! And you even offended your great benefactor. Is the person who started this mess out of their head?!"
Does he really think I'm just a lowly soldier, and that even if he kills me, it won't anger my superiors?
"Is his brain filled with water?!"
Seeing that Jiang Chu was a little excited, Cai Wujin quickly reached out and patted Jiang Chu's back.
"Brother, don't get agitated. Instructor Tuoba said you need to rest!" Jiang Yue'er said, her voice choked with emotion, her expression almost breaking into tears.
Cui Zhencheng has many siblings. He is a kind and honest person, and several of his siblings treat him very well.
