Jiang Ningyuan looked out the window. The riverbank was rippling with waves in the night, and rows of lights on the bridge illuminated the surroundings, adding a touch of brightness to the night.
Gazing at the scenery, Jiang Ningyuan's thoughts drifted far away, his mind repeatedly recalling Jiang Yuan's earlier words about paying a huge price.
Did he and Jiang Yuan also pay a huge price?
"Young Master." Just as Jiang Ningyuan was thinking, there was a knock on the door and Li Cheng's voice.
The word "Young Master" brought Jiang Ningyuan back to his senses. "Come in."
Having received permission, Li Cheng pushed open the door and looked at Jiang Ningyuan, who was sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe.
He had a towel draped over his head, and beads of hair dripped down his head, making his handsome and graceful face look somewhat disappointed.
"Young Master, you'll catch a cold if you do this," Li Cheng said with concern.
"Do you have a cold?" Jiang Ningyuan recalled the scene when Jiang Yuan took care of him when he had a fever.
Immediately, a smile crept onto his lips.
"How are the old lady and the madam?" Jiang Ningyuan changed the subject.
“The doctors have examined him, and everything is normal, but he shows no signs of waking up,” Li Cheng replied.
"Young Master, how about we invite Master Jiang over?"
"I think it's a bit strange that the old lady and the madam suddenly fainted. It's as if someone wanted to prevent the old lady and the madam from attending the Dragon Head Meeting."
Li Cheng said cautiously.
They hadn't paid attention to Jiang Yuan before, but they started following her closely afterward.
This was the first time their young master had called home since leaving home so long.
The first phone call they received was to instruct them to beat up a man named Hanwen and another named Xuzhe, and to guide the police to investigate the Han and Xu families, but not too obviously...
He knew what kind of person their young master was.
They don't like to cause trouble and have no desires or wants for anything.
If someone suddenly calls back to deal with a small-time family like the Han family or the Xu family, it must be for someone else's sake.
They discovered upon investigation that it was for the second young lady of the Jiang family.
Oh, she can't be called the second young lady of the Jiang family anymore; she should be called Jiang Yuan.
She has severed ties with the Jiang family!
"Mm," Jiang Ningyuan replied.
The Ning family, as the local underworld power in H City, has always been at the top.
At the quadrennial leadership meeting, his grandmother won several times in a row, convincing everyone and firmly securing her position as the top leader.
According to Li Cheng, there are quite a few people who are eager to make a move recently.
Some people felt that his grandmother was too old to step down and was no longer fit to be the head of the four cities.
Some people think his mother is weak and incompetent, and that the Longfeng Gang will be destroyed if it falls into her hands.
Therefore, some people within the organization developed disloyal intentions.
As long as his grandmother doesn't participate in the Dragon Head Association, they will have a chance.
Once his grandmother and mother both fall, the Longfeng Gang will become theirs.
None of the elders in the Longfeng Gang are easy to deal with, and none of them want to be overshadowed.
Therefore, it is highly likely that they were the ones who did it.
"Young Master, do you think... we should trouble Master Jiang?" Li Cheng asked.
Their young master even called back to his family home because of Jiang Yuan, wanting to invite Master Jiang, so naturally he had to ask for his opinion.
If their young master doesn't want them to have contact with Master Jiang, then they can...
Choose to consult other highly skilled experts.
As long as they have enough money, what kind of talented people can't they find?
They can find even the people from the Mysterious Bureau.
It's just that those people's skills were generally not as good as Master Jiang's.
“I’ll handle this. I’ll ask for her opinion.” Jiang Ningyuan stroked his phone.
Jiang Yuan's live stream was still playing on the phone.
Li Cheng glanced at it furtively, then immediately lowered his head.
It seems their young master isn't without desires after all.
Having something you want is good; having something you want gives you the motivation to work hard.
Otherwise, their young master wouldn't be back now.
“Young Master and Master Jiang are friends, so it’s most appropriate for Young Master to ask,” Li Cheng said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
Out of respect for their young master, there's a high chance Jiang Yuan will agree.
“Not friends,” Jiang Ningyuan retorted, a hint of displeasure in his voice.
He and she were not friends.
They can't be friends.
"Not friends?" Li Cheng was stunned.
Why would their young master ask them to take action if they weren't friends?
How could people who aren't friends sit at the same table and eat breakfast?
How could someone who isn't a friend have the other person's contact information?
"She is the future young mistress." Jiang Ningyuan smiled and spoke in a rich, magnetic, and pleasant voice.
Li Cheng was taken aback, but then quickly realized what his young master meant by those words.
"So, young master and Master Jiang have... that kind of relationship?" Li Cheng asked gossipily, his words tinged with excitement.
If the old lady and the madam heard this, they would be overjoyed!
Their young master finally has a girlfriend!
“We’re not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship,” Jiang Ningyuan replied, his brows furrowed.
They are now...
What is the relationship?
It seems like we have no relationship whatsoever.
Although they added each other on WeChat and had each other's contact information, they rarely communicated.
Even Liu Yu contacted Jiang Yuan more often than he did.
“However, it will be in the future,” Jiang Ningyuan added.
It will definitely be like that in the future.
Jiang Yuan belongs to him.
"Huh?" Li Cheng exclaimed, his face, which looked somewhat fierce, filled with confusion.
Their young master's words completely stunned him.
What does it mean that Jiang Yuan will be the future young mistress? And what does it mean that they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, but will be in the future?
