[What's going on? Why have all those talented individuals defected to others? Were they bribed by Jiang Lao Er? Fortunately, there are two tough guys among them who refuse to submit. I told you, these people are prepared for the Third Prince; they can't be tamed by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Jiang Lao Er is at most a spoiled brat, he—]
Just as the system said, Jiang Chengli, who had lived through hundreds of lifetimes, knew all too well about the Third Prince's extraordinary encounters. He directly took out a list, and after discussing with his brothers, they decided what methods to use to win over each type of person.
Since it was inconvenient for others to take action, it appeared on the surface that these people had all been taken under Jiang Chengxiao's control, but in reality, the entire Jiang family had contributed.
As for the two people mentioned by the system who refused to submit, one of them was known as Bai Xiaosheng, who considered himself to be unparalleled in his intelligence, well-versed in all sorts of underworld secrets, and regarded himself as a strategist.
The other is a firearms craftsman who is researching firearms with extremely high explosive power.
Neither of them accepted the Jiang family's offer of recruitment, so they were imprisoned separately. Jiang Chengxiao went to see Bai Xiaosheng first.
Bai Xiaosheng was very self-important and unwilling to submit to the Jiang family.
"Second Master Jiang, you're wasting your time. Everyone knows my name, Bai Xiaosheng. I'm a tough guy. I've never given any face to the high-ranking officials who came before, but I've survived this long because I have someone backing me up. You are the second young master of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion. You should know that person's status is higher than the sky. I advise you to release me as soon as possible, otherwise, if he investigates, the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion will suffer."
Although Bai Xiaosheng is currently a prisoner, the Jiang family has always treated him with courtesy in order to recruit him, so he has maintained this eccentric attitude.
“Sir, the sea of suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to turn back to,” Jiang Chengxiao said, looking at him and offering kind advice.
"Heh, Second Master Jiang, there's no need to say more. My mind is made up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chengxiao stepped forward. Bai Xiaosheng thought he was going to untie him, so he raised his chin, looking like he was unyielding.
Jiang Chengxiao didn't put his hand on the rope. Instead, he grabbed his neck and twisted it gently, making a crisp "crack" sound.
This arrogant know-it-all had already fallen to the ground, his eyes wide open, and died.
He died without understanding how the Jiang family could be so audacious as to dare to touch the Emperor's people.
"No matter who's behind you, anyone who tries to block the Jiang family's path will only face death. I've already said the sea of suffering is boundless, yet you still insist on charging forward. Rumors from the martial world are not to be trusted, and Bai Xiaosheng is nothing but a fool." Jiang Chengxiao took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and then walked into the next room.
"Who exactly are you? Let me tell you, no matter who you are, I will not cooperate with you. The Third Prince is my savior, and I will only repay his kindness. As for the others—"
This firearms craftsman has already made contact with the Third Prince, and the two have a close relationship, even discussing repaying a debt of gratitude.
As soon as he saw Jiang Chengxiao come in, he started shouting loudly. Of course, Jiang Chengxiao could also tell that this craftsman was sincere and a tough nut to crack.
Jiang Chengxiao didn't utter a word, and directly sent the person to their death.
In the past, he might have admired this stubborn, single-minded person and tried to gradually correct him so that he could be used by the Jiang family.
But this time they were fighting against fate, plotting a capital offense, and could not afford any mistakes; they would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
If these people are recruited and then change their minds when they see the Third Prince, it would plunge the entire Jiang family into a state of injustice.
Meanwhile, on Xu Wanying's side, after the system froze, it started screaming again.
[Aaaaaah, Jiang Lao Er actually killed them all! That Bai Xiaosheng was the Third Prince's greatest weapon! It was Bai Xiaosheng's idea for Xiaoya to become the Third Prince's consort; otherwise, it would have been very difficult for a commoner like her to become a prince's consort. What are we going to do now?! Jiang Lao Er deserves to die!]
Enraged, it launched into a tirade against Jiang Chengxiao, which escalated into a condemnation of all the men in the Jiang family; it had completely broken down.
Although Xu Wanying felt her head buzzing as she listened to the shrill sound, she was in a good mood.
Instead of stopping its collapse, he brewed a pot of tea himself and leisurely sipped it while listening to music.
"Madam, the Third Master has arrived," a maid announced from outside.
Soon, Jiang Chengli strolled over, his tall and straight figure silhouetted against the light, exuding energy.
Xu Wanying narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but take a closer look.
Compared to when we first met, the man now is much more energetic.
She hadn't forgotten the time he kidnapped her before. The man was ruthless; even though his face was covered, the violence and deathly aura emanating from him could be felt for miles around.
[Why is Jiang Laosan here again? Could he have really fallen for you? Host, get him out of here right now!]
The system hadn't yet recovered from its previous emotional breakdown. Upon seeing Jiang Chengli, it became alert again, forcing itself to stay alert and trying to sow discord between the two of them.
Xu Wanying naturally wouldn't listen to him, and even poured Jiang Chengli a cup of tea.
The two have been seeing each other frequently lately. Although they don't exchange many words, a quiet yet harmonious atmosphere has already been established, and they no longer need to be polite with each other.
Jiang Chengli nodded his thanks to her, still sitting upright, but as he drank his tea, the expression between his brows and eyes relaxed, and he obviously relaxed as well.
He often came here, initially to gather information from the system. In reality, having lived through countless lifetimes, he no longer needed the system's predictions of the plot; he knew it better than anyone else.
The reason for coming to investigate is to prevent any oversights. After all, the Jiang family is now trying to defy fate, and any mistake could have far-reaching consequences. The system has become a good channel for checking and filling in the gaps.
