Chapter 1053: 738 transactions

Tong Dan had never imagined that one day the name Jiang Chen would become her boasting capital.

Fang Qing didn’t interject, just quietly looked out the window.

"Lawyer Fang, have a smooth journey."

"Send me a message when you arrive."

Airport.

The three parted ways.

"See you next time."

Fang Qing smiled and then, pulling her luggage, turned and walked towards the airport entrance.

"Since Lawyer Fang knows Mr. Jiang, why didn’t you..."

Mao Dun looked at the gentle and intellectual figure walking away.

"You don’t understand."

Tong Dan put on an exaggerated sigh, "Her relationship with Jiang Chen can’t be explained in just a sentence or two..."

It used to be indecipherable.

Now, it was even harder to express.

When it was time to board, Fang Qing took out her phone and sent a message.

"I’m leaving."

The reply came quickly, an "ok" emoji.

Fang Qing tapped on her keyboard.

"Don’t get beaten to a pulp again."

This time, the response was slower.

Turns out an emoji was being searched for.

A "child," with an "→" in the middle, followed by an "adult," and then a "flexing muscle" emoji.

Fang Qing, with a calm expression, put away her phone.

On the other end.

Jiang Chen was already sitting in the Jiuding Group’s office.

Cao Jinse had called him over.

But after he arrived, he was told by the secretary that Cao Jinse was in a meeting and asked him to wait.

Given Cao Jinse’s usual conduct, such a basic oversight, calling him over without organizing her schedule, seemed unlikely.

So there was only one explanation.

It was intentional.

This was a display of power.

Jiang Chen roughly guessed the reason, remained calm, played with his phone, and waited patiently.

Ding He’s verdict had been spread all over the world by the major media, the public’s discussion continued, but almost no one objected to the ruling.

"Compensate one finger. The guy may have been brutal, but he’s respected for being a real man."

"Next life, be more careful when choosing a wife, you have to be cautious."

"Hard to believe that even such a prominent lawyer can’t control his own woman."

"Some women really deserve it. If you don’t want to be together, just divorce. What do they think men are? Deserving to die!"

Freedom of speech is a legal right for every citizen.

Although everyone’s views may differ, there was a consensus in one aspect, there was no sympathy for the deceased Fang Ai.

At most, people thought Ding He should have just killed her with a knife, and that dismembering the body was a bit excessive.

The fact that this case was resolved so efficiently could not be separated from the strong support of public opinion, but these enthusiastic netizens seemed to have overlooked an important issue.

How would the victim’s family feel after seeing these comments?

The development of the situation to this extent was indeed beyond Jiang Chen’s expectation; he only meant to start a wildfire, but the fire had spread beyond his control, burning more fiercely.

Now that the flames had surged to this stage, it wasn’t something he could extinguish on a whim.

"You came quite fast."

The office door opened.

Cao Jinse finally finished her meeting and walked in.

Jiang Chen put down his phone and, being quite worldly, pretended not to notice he’d been left waiting, and said with a smile, "Had you told me earlier that you had a meeting, I would have taken a nap before coming over."

"Didn’t sleep well?"

Cao Jinse came over and sat down, her expression not showing much irregularity.

"It’s okay, I’ve been having a bit of insomnia lately."

"I still have some Rehmannia Pills here, want some?"

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, then burst into a wry smile.

He had only joked about that medicine before.

Had she really bought it and taken it?

"No need, that won’t help with insomnia."

"Should I have someone buy you some sleeping pills?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered with amusement.

The air was filled with the scent of gunpowder.

"Was the meeting not too pleasant?"

He pressed on without backing down.

"Trying to probe our internal business secrets?"

Jiang Chen stifled a laugh, then immediately said, "Forget I asked."

"Do you really consider me a friend anymore?"

Cao Jinse suddenly said, her expression calm.

Jiang Chen fell silent, his face also became serious, and he earnestly replied, "Of course."

"Did you do this to the Fang Family?"

Cao Jinse watched him, not beating around the bush.

Jiang Chen was not surprised.

He had never underestimated the other party’s intelligence or insight.

"The video of Fang Ai, I released it."

There was no need to hide, and it simply couldn’t be hidden.

Pretending to be clever would only damage the relationship between the two.

Forging the current friendship with a person like Cao Jinse seemed natural, but in reality, it had gone through too much, so breaking it off now wouldn’t be worthwhile.

"Only the video?"

Jiang Chen nodded, looking into her eyes, "Only the video."

"Why?"

Cao Jinse didn’t waste any words; each question was quite succinct.

"My childhood friend works at Fang Ai’s husband’s law firm. Fang Ai misunderstood that there was something between the two and beat up my friend. I just wanted to teach her a lesson."

Jiang Chen’s explanation was also very concise.

"Do you mean to say you didn’t foresee the current outcome?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment.

"You think too highly of me; I can’t compare to you, indeed I didn’t think of so much."

An unflappable Cao Jinse, after receiving an implicit compliment, said, "So what are your plans for wrapping this up?"

"The court has already made a decision."

"You think the Fang Family will just let this go? That lawyer escaped, which indirectly helped you by distracting the Fang Family’s energy. Fang Ai may not have been killed by you, but the spark was your video. The Fang Family surely understands this point too. Not only did Fang Ai die tragically, but the Fang Family’s reputation has also been dragged through the mud. A court decision doesn’t mean they’ll just accept it and move on; they will definitely find time again to investigate that video of yours."

What it means to have meticulous and detailed thinking.

As an outsider, she could see so clearly.

"Death leaves no witness for the truth; they won’t find anything."

"Only a court would need evidence."

Cao Jinse said, "What about your childhood friend?"

"Gone, just boarded a plane."

"It seems you’re quite aware of the situation."

Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile.

"Actually, it’s not difficult to resolve. If Fang Ai had apologized to your friend, it wouldn’t have come to this."

"I think given Fang Ai’s character, she wouldn’t apologize."

"She’s arrogant, but not stupid."

Cao Jinse stared at him.

Jiang Chen shut his mouth, no longer shirking responsibility.

"The matter is already settled; talking about these things is pointless," said Cao Jinse. "Prepare yourself, and come with me to the Fang Family."

Jiang Chen was startled, "What for?"

"What do you think?"

"You’re not thinking of making me apologize to the Fang Family, are you?"

Jiang Chen said in astonishment, "With such deep hatred, do you think an apology will solve the problem?"

"I thought you didn’t know."

Jiang Chen went silent, realizing she was deliberately being sarcastic.

"If you have me go to the Fang Family now, it’s like throwing me into the fire pit; that’s not how you treat a friend."

"Have you ever treated me as a friend?"

"If I didn’t treat you as a friend, would I tell you all this truthfully?"

Jiang Chen immediately countered.

"The incident has already happened; what’s the point of telling me now? That’s not telling, that’s informing."

"I just didn’t want to drag you into this."

"You think hiding it from me isn’t dragging me into it? Have you thought, if the furious Fang Family tore you to pieces, what would happen to Great Wall? What about our agreed cooperation on the Firefly Medical Center? This is irresponsible."

Jiang Chen’s lips moved, but for a moment, he truly didn’t know how to refute her.

After a while, he sighed, "Is business all you think about? What if there were no business dealings between us?"

"In this world, only interest relationships are the most reliable and solid."

Cao Jinse seemed to be explaining or perhaps reminding.

Jiang Chen remained silent, not feeling disheartened; on the contrary, he increasingly sensed her sincerity.

Benefits can be shared but not monopolized; that was the principle.

As more people become part of your network of mutual interest, you become stronger.

Because to maintain their own interests, they will protect yours.

"Your words have merit."

As if enlightened, Jiang Chen nodded and then said, "So you can’t just stand by."

A self-stumped Cao Jinse was momentarily speechless and a bit exasperated. As she was about to speak, she heard,

"According to the previous agreement, the investment percentage in Firefly Medical Center increases by twenty points, the shareholding remains unchanged."

Jiang Chen’s succinct speech carried an assured confidence.

Cao Jinse’s tone paused, then she leaned back in the sofa and looked at him for a while.

"Deal."
