Chapter 69 Disagreement
After returning to Ziyuan, Jiang Wu told Han Zhong the information he had found out.
Ke Xingyan's agent gave the cotton doll and the talisman to Zhou Haiying, and instructed Zhou Haiying to deliberately meet Zhang Xiaoyu, pretending to be a fan of Jiang Wu, and let Zhang Xiaoyu give the cotton doll to Jiang Wu. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wu was out at the time, and Zhang Xiaoyu suffered in the end.
Han Zhong raised his own question after hearing this: "The source of the fire was that cotton doll?"
Jiang Wu nodded, "Yes."
"Physical or chemical means?"
"Metaphysical means."
“…”
Han Zhong lifted the curtain and looked at him, "Are you going to tell the judge the same thing in court?"
Jiang Wu's expressionless face showed a rare moment of astonishment, "The heir of Linhai's number one family only intends to punish the enemy through legal weapons?"
Han Zhong said calmly, "I am a businessman, not a bandit. There is no need to lynch him."
"Having a fortune of ten thousand taels of silver but not being able to do evil is a waste."
"...Where did you learn this?"
“Those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to small details.”
“The law is not a detail.”
The two of them fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. Rong Anzhou watched with great interest from the side.
Finally, Han Zhong pulled out his trump card, "You promised me not to act rashly, take risks without authorization, or do anything illegal, remember?"
Jiang Wu said nothing, turned around with a stern face and went upstairs.
Rong Anzhou joked, "You are a rich and powerful kid from an aristocratic family and you are so law-abiding, but he is a little star in the entertainment industry with no background and he is so arrogant. It's strange~"
Han Zhong smiled helplessly. He originally thought that Jiang Wu was just acting rashly, but gradually he discovered that he was not reckless, but just did things his own way. He was used to it and even quite ignored the laws and social rules, and his words and actions were very casual.
I think it was his casual nature that attracted me in the beginning, but I didn't expect that he was so casual to the point of violating the law, which is really difficult to deal with.
"Why would you, a good kid who never ran a red light, take in such an ignorant kid with unknown origins? Oh, don't talk about saving my life, I don't believe it."
As the only son of the Linhai Han family, he could become a first-tier celebrity from an 18th-tier celebrity with just some money and resources. Why would he need to take him in?
Han Zhong had not originally planned to take the person home, but something unexpected happened and he couldn't bear to do it.
However, just as Rong Anzhou said, he had many ways to settle Jiang Wu, but he chose to bring him back home. It would be self-deception to say that he had no selfish motives.
Han Zhong thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, "He once said he wanted to protect me."
Rong Anzhou almost thought he had heard wrongly, "Protect who? You?"
Han Zhong certainly didn't think he needed protection. What happened to Lu Linhe was just a special case. Other times, no one should even think of getting close to him. But...
"Don't you think that's cute?"
"I don't think so." Rong Anzhou was afraid that his words were not strict, so he added, "I don't think he is a lovable person from the beginning to the end."
Han Zhong glanced at him lightly and said, "That's because he doesn't like you."
Rong Anzhou was speechless. He also realized that Jiang Wu really didn't like him. He was completely different in front of Han Zhong and in front of him.
"I don't care whether he is cute or not. This person is definitely not an ordinary person. You should be careful." Rong Anzhou said and then said cryptically, "You know your own physical condition. Things like Lu Linhe cannot happen again."
Han Zhong said calmly, "I know."
…
Jiang Wuben had no intention of letting Han Zhong commit lynching. Even if there was no evidence, it would be easy for him to deal with Ke Xingyan. However, Han Zhong was quite displeased with metaphysical methods. Not only did he not believe in them, he also did not like to use them.
What if he reveals his flaws in front of Han Zhong in the future, and Han Zhong cannot accept it and tells him to get out? Is he really going to tie him up and keep him by his side until he recovers his memory?
It's too troublesome.
And there's Rong Anzhou. It's impossible to get rid of him in a short time. Fortunately, this guy is quite skilled. If there's no unusual movement, I'll just use him as a guard.
The more Jiang Wu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Yan Chong used to be a person who always talked about the laws of the Great Zhou, but as long as he was wronged, even if it was the emperor, Yan Chong would help him get back. But now that he has lost his memory, not only does he not help him, he also wants to stop him. It's really annoying.
However, since he couldn't settle the bill with Ke Xingyan, Jiang Wu could only bear the compensation for the apartment himself.
He calculated his savings. The remaining salary from the variety show plus the salary for his role in Cang Yue still amounted to 100,000 yuan. In addition, Zhang Xiaoyu also took more than 30,000 yuan, making a total of nearly 150,000 yuan.
After the accident report came down from the fire department, Jiang Wu called the landlady to discuss compensation.
Although the apartment was old, it was in Linhai after all, and 150,000 yuan was definitely not enough. He was prepared to be scolded and asked to write an IOU. But when the call was connected, the landlady could feel her enthusiasm even through the screen when she heard it was him.
"Xiao Jiang, what's the matter?"
"I want to discuss compensation for the apartment fire. All I have now is—"
"Hasn't the compensation been agreed upon?"
Jiang Wu was stunned. "When did you talk about this?"
"We negotiated it the day before yesterday. A young man in a suit came with a lawyer. Oh, there were a lot of regulations, and he said I violated the line and the modification. He was really good at talking. In the end, we negotiated for 800,000 yuan, and they also got a place for my grandson in the primary school affiliated to Linhai University."
The landlady said with disdain, but her tone was very cheerful, "When you first moved in, I felt you had a future. You even know such an important person. It's hard to get a place in that school!"
Jiang Wu didn't know many people, and he was the only one who knew about the fire and was willing to help him.
"What's that person's last name?"
"Last name Yao."
really.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wu sighed, walked from the bed to the window, and began to count on his fingers how many variety shows he would have to record and how many plays he would have to take on to pay back the eight hundred thousand.
Oh, and there’s also a school place. Although he doesn’t know what that means, seeing the landlady smiling so hard that she can’t close her eyes, he estimates that it’s worth more than 800,000.
Although he is the second male lead in "Asking Life", his status is not high and his salary will not be that high. If he does not pay back the 800,000, he is really afraid that Han Zhong will take the opportunity to repay his life-saving favor and drive him out of Ziyuan.
He thought about it, opened Zhang Xiaoyu's WeChat, and asked him to ask Director Yang Chen if "Exploration Journey" was short of people, so that he could record another episode before joining the crew.
Just after he sent the message, Aunt Bai knocked on the door and called him for dinner. Jiang Wu opened the door and looked downstairs into the living room. Han Zhong was already sitting at the dining table, but Rong Anzhou was not there.
"Where is Rong Anzhou?" he asked Aunt Bai.
"Mr. Rong is out for something."
Jiang Wu nodded and went downstairs.
Han Zhong heard the noise, looked up at him, and said nothing.
Jiang Wu sat down opposite him, opened his mouth, swallowed it back, then looked down at the food on the table and praised in a rhythmic tone, "Today's food looks really good, Aunt Bai's hands are really skillful~"
The affected tone and wording made Han Zhong look up at him.
Jiang Wu couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately asked, "Did you help me pay back the 800,000 yuan compensation for the apartment?"
