Chapter 757 Jealous or Not Jealous
These people are all grown men, and approaching them rashly will only arouse their vigilance.
Monkey went to find Sister Hao and asked her to think of a solution for him.
Cheng Gang and the other two stayed in the yard and continued to monitor the house next door.
Jiang Chen returned to the economic investigation team.
As soon as he entered, everyone looked up at him.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
He had joined the team temporarily through Old Man Wang's back door. He was not familiar with anyone and felt a little uneasy when he was suddenly stared at like this.
Wang Guoping held the microphone and looked outside. Seeing that it was Jiang Chen, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Jiang Chen, motioning him to come over.
As Jiang Chen entered the office and was about to ask, a microphone was stuffed into his hand.
"?"
"Answer the phone quickly." Wang Guoping raised his hand holding the microphone and put it to his ear.
"Is that brat back?" It was Zheng Zhiyuan's voice on the other end of the phone.
Jiang Chen said "hmm" lightly, then noticed that Zheng Zhiyuan's attitude was not right and asked, "What's going on?"
"You little bastard!" Zheng Zhiyuan said angrily, "You're married, did you know that?"
Jiang Chen listened expressionlessly and turned his head to look at Wang Guoping: "What does he mean?"
"..." Wang Guoping resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said into the microphone, "Old Zheng, the first contact point you mentioned is so roundabout and confusing that it makes me feel bad for you."
"Humph." Zheng Zhiyuan said disdainfully, "I'm just trying to save his face!"
Jiang Chen's expression turned even colder: "What's going on?"
Zheng Zhiyuan stopped talking nonsense and asked, "What's your relationship with Shan Ning?"
Jiang Chen: "Who is Dan Ning?"
"You little bastard, why are you acting so stupid?"
Suddenly, someone changed the other end of the phone. Liu Yutang spoke rudely and grabbed the phone and yelled:
"No fly bites an egg without a crack. You are definitely a bad boy. You have only been in Jin City for a few days and you have caused such trouble."
Jiang Chen was inexplicably scolded and felt irritated. He said impatiently, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hang up."
Wang Guoping was anxiously watching from the side, pacing back and forth. Seeing that Jiang Chen was really about to hang up the phone, he quickly stopped him, blocked the microphone, and briefly explained the whole story.
When Jiang Chen heard someone hang up Ye Rou's phone, his expression was cold: "Where is she?"
Wang Guoping's eyes met Jiang Chen's, and black mist surged in his narrow eyes, like a ferocious beast ready to break out of its cage at any time.
Oops, I forgot how crazy this guy is.
Wang Guoping said quickly, "He's already been fired and is on the train back to Beijing. Calm down."
Jiang Chen snatched the microphone back from Wang Guoping and asked coldly, "Where's my wife?"
Liu Yutang snorted unhappily: "Go to class, I'm telling you, brat, you're married, your wife is pregnant..."
Before he could finish his words, the phone was hung up.
Liu Yutang looked at Zheng Zhiyuan in disbelief.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhiyuan asked, "What's wrong?"
"This brat hung up on me. I have such a bad temper." The old man rolled up his sleeves and called back, but the call didn't go through. It seemed the line was busy.
"Who is this brat calling in such a hurry?"
Zheng Zhiyuan said unhappily, "Who else could it be? It must be Xiaorou."

Ye Rou had just finished class and was walking out of the classroom, textbook in hand, when she heard the school loudspeaker suddenly buzzing. A moment later, Ji Chunming's voice rang out: "Student Ye Rou, please come to the principal's office as soon as possible."
Jia Wenzhen grabbed Zhao Jinmei, who was pestering Ye Rou and talking non-stop, and said quickly: "Ye Rou, go quickly, the principal must have something urgent to talk to you about."
Ye Rou nodded and said, "Then I'll go first. See you tomorrow."
Jia Wenzhen and Zhao Jinmei said in unison, "See you tomorrow."
Ye Rou carried her schoolbag and hurried to the principal's office.
Ji Chunming was standing at the door, looking around anxiously.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Rou appear at the end of the corridor. He couldn't wait any longer and immediately came over to her, saying quickly, "If you don't come soon, my phone will be ringing off the hook."
At this moment, the phone rang again.
Ji Chunming had a terrible headache and did not accompany Ye Rou in. He pointed to the location of the phone and hid away.
His mind is now filled with the ringing sound of the phone, and he is feeling overwhelmed.
Ye Rou answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Wife." It was Jiang Chen on the other end of the line, but his voice sounded a little aggrieved: "Why did you answer the phone just now?"
"I just got out of class."
Ye Rou had been teaching classes all afternoon and was tired, so her voice sounded a little cold.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then the man's voice suddenly lowered: "Are you angry with me?"
Ye Rou pulled a chair and sat down: "I'm not angry, I believe you."
She was not angry because she was jealous, but simply upset that someone hung up on her.
Now that Danning has been expelled from the economic investigation team and paid the price for her actions, her anger has subsided.
Ye Rou talked about business: "I have something to tell you."
"You say." For some reason, Jiang Chen's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little unhappy.
Ye Rou didn't dwell on this and said, "Jiang Zhao called me."
"Why did he call you?" Jiang Chen's tone was slightly cold.
Ye Rou couldn't understand this either. She didn't think she was very familiar with Jiang Zhao and didn't expect to receive a call from him.
"That's not the point," Ye Rou emphasized. "The point is, he said there's a shipment of goods in Beijing—I suspect it's the same batch of artifacts that the museum shipped out. They'll be back in Jinshi soon. Li Rui plans to use Director Cui's birthday party as an excuse to secretly load the cargo onto the ship while your attention is diverted."
After Ye Rou finished speaking, she asked Jiang Chen, "Do you think his information is reliable?"
"It should be reliable." Jiang Chen admitted reluctantly, and said unhappily, "Director Cui's birthday party is the day after tomorrow. I'll have someone keep an eye on Li Rui's whereabouts."
"What a coincidence." Ye Rou said, "That private antique appreciation meeting Zhao Quan is hosting is also the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Chen knew he couldn't stop her, so he reminded her, "Be sure to pay attention to safety. Tell Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang to follow you. Don't get hurt."
"Don't worry." Ye Rou narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I have eight people to help me fight now."
"What eight?" Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
"Wang Honghong has tested the skills of the young police officers she pulled from Jiang Weiguo. Each one is more capable than the other."
Before Ye Rou finished speaking, she heard a "crunching" sound similar to grinding teeth coming from the other end of the microphone.
"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?"
Jiang Chen's voice sounded unhappy: "If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Would Jiang Weiguo be so kind as to give someone to you for nothing?"
Jiang Chen emphasized the word "send someone away".
"He wants credit but is afraid of offending Li Cheng."
Ye Rou didn't notice anything wrong with Jiang Chen. She hooked the phone line and smiled slyly:
"He wants to have it both ways, but it depends on whether I agree or not."
Jiang Chen tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "Stay away from those eight guys."
Ye Rou blinked, then realized what was happening and chuckled softly, "Jiang Chen, are you jealous?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Sure enough, he was jealous.
"Okay, don't be angry." Ye Rou coaxed him, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my distance from them."
"Besides, I'm pregnant now, so no one will get close to me. But someone..."
She seemed to be hinting at something.
Jiang Chen was not angry at Ye Rou's implication. Instead, he suddenly smiled as if he had finally waited for something.
A magnetic, low voice with a clear laugh reached Ye Rou's ears, with a frivolous ending.
It felt like a feather brushing against her earlobes. Ye Rou shrank her neck and asked unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Chen said happily: "My dear, you are jealous."
"I didn't!" Ye Rou refused to admit it.
She was still trying to argue, trying to prove that she wasn't jealous, when Jiang Chen suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Wife, I miss you."
Ye Rou's heart softened.
"If things go well the day after tomorrow, will you be able to come back soon?"
"Um."
Jiang Chen responded, and suddenly said mysteriously: "I will have a surprise for you then."
Ye Rou muttered, "I hope it's a surprise, not a shock."
