Chapter 1137: 786 Great Sage help me (asking for monthly tickets! asking for subscriptions!)_2

Cao Jinse continued to explain in a matter-of-fact manner.

Luo Long himself said that he was a miserable life, and his death was not regrettable, and no one would care, but some monsters are not so easy to eliminate.

This point is clearly written in the classics.

Among the one hundred and eight difficulties, many obstacles eventually stopped at the command: "Great Sage, stop."

Just as Jiang Chen’s brain was quickly working out how to respond, he realized the other party wasn’t even looking at him.

Looking at the home-cooked dishes on the dining table, he said unhurriedly: "Hanlong Group is a corporation in Jiang’s territory, how come I heard that a Fang Family boy got involved?"

"I don’t know, I’m not familiar with it."

Cao Jinse shook his head earnestly.

Jiang Chen struggled to keep his expression unchanged.

"Uncle Sui, you even pay attention to such trifles?"

Trifles?

Can this be called a trifle?

"Hanlong Group is a large domestic corporation; its problems are not trivial matters, especially since it involves the Fang Family boy. Old Master Fang’s granddaughter, last year, didn’t she just have an accident?"

Cao Jinse fell silent.

Indeed.

Everyone has a heart made of flesh.

How could they bear to watch the old man watch his grandson get into trouble while his granddaughter’s bones are still cold?

Jiang Chen knew that he couldn’t just be a bystander anymore at this time.

"According to Luo Long, the vice president of Hanlong Group, since its establishment, Hanlong Group has accumulated a massive fortune for Fang Jun under various pretenses, and Luo Long also accused Fang Jun of secretly colluding with his deceased elder brother, the chairman of Hanlong Group, Luo Han; hence why Fang Jun is under investigation."

Sui Huimin’s gaze naturally shifted over.

Jiang Chen remained composed.

"You know that Fang Family boy?"

Jiang Chen nodded and replied cautiously: "Have seen him a few times."

"We have also visited Old Fang together."

Cao Jinse added succinctly.

Sui Huimin nodded, fell silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Old Fang has made great contributions; he should be enjoying his old age now, but now his descendants are continuously having problems, he must be feeling very distressed..."

"Of course, if there are issues, they definitely need to be thoroughly investigated, and if it’s a misunderstanding, the young man from the Fang Family should be cleared of the charges soon, to give Old Fang an explanation."

All that meets the eye is an illusion.

When such characters speak, one must not just listen to the surface but dig deeper into the meaning.

"What if it’s not a misunderstanding?"

Cao Jinse seemingly interjected casually.

Sui Huimin smiled, "I believe in Old Fang’s character, his descendants probably won’t have too big of a problem."

Could it be that this influential figure came to support Fang Jun?

Or perhaps this dinner was a reminder to stop there?

With Luo Long’s authentication, as long as the investigation into Hanlong Group continues deeper, it’d be very difficult for Fang Jun to come out unscathed.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen remembered a cartoon from television.

When the monster was about to be killed, an immortal would rush over through the clouds.

Subconsciously, he glanced at Lan Peizhi.

She seemed to sense something and looked towards him.

They stared at each other for a few seconds.

Then Lan Peizhi shifted her gaze away.

Perhaps because of insufficient comprehension, Jiang Chen couldn’t glean any hints from her calm eyes.

If this influential figure was indeed here to stand for Fang Jun, then the best tactic for him would undoubtedly be to back down.

And judging by the conversation, this possibility was quite likely.

Perhaps sensing the attitude of this influential figure, Cao Jinse also stopped speaking at this time.

The atmosphere at the dining table became quietly tense, subtly so.

The pressure all came down on Jiang Chen’s side.

While his brain was rapidly processing, his heart was also engaged in a fierce struggle.

The cartoon from his childhood had already clearly hinted at it.

The Great Sage was a clever person, no, a clever monkey.

Every time he heard "Great Sage, stop", he would always put down his weapon, or rather, his staff.

So in the end, he successfully reached the Western heaven, obtained the true scripture, and completed his merit.

The ending of the cartoon was perfect, and all four disciples became enlightened as they wished.

But as a child, Jiang Chen always felt very indignant watching those monsters being let go.

He always thought, if he were the Great Sage, he would definitely not show mercy, ignoring whatever gods descended to earth, and just kill the monster with his staff first.

Now, the fantasies of childhood seem to have become reality.

He has grown up.

Animation and reality cannot be generalized.

At this moment, being there, he has long understood why the Great Sage was so "merciful".

Jiang Chen’s thoughts were tangled and chaotic.

Should he logically ask the Great Sage to show mercy?

But Fang Jun is not a monster from the animations who, once taken away, will cease causing havoc.

Their grudges can be described as deep as the sea, with no possibility of reconciliation.

But what if, as he fantasized in his childhood, he chose to be the Great Sage himself?

Does he have that ability?

The immortals have already arrived, even if he doesn’t put down his staff, he probably can’t swing it anymore.

It’s obvious.

The most sensible action is to recognize the situation and act accordingly.

Yet the child who once angrily clenched his fists in front of the TV keeps reappearing in Jiang Chen’s mind.

The dining table was quiet.

It seemed like everyone was waiting for Jiang Chen to speak.

"...I have great respect for Old Fang, it is because of the sacrifices of their generation that we have our happy lives today. Old Fang’s character is always worth learning from, but just as a professor’s child may not necessarily be studious, Old Fang’s character does not represent the character of his descendants."

The quiet was broken.

But what followed was an even deeper silence!

Jiang Chen’s words were undoubtedly a direct rebuttal to the other party.

In the end, he did not succumb to reality.

He still chose to fulfill his childhood dream and be the Great Sage himself!

Sui Huimin’s chopsticks paused.

Such a character, who does not casually agree but dares to openly oppose others’ views, is probably rare.

Lan Peizhi’s gaze became focused, looking at the "ignorant" young man.

Cao Jinse felt the same, her gaze flickering.

Jiang Chen seemed unaware of the gazes around him, not looking at anyone, just staring at the dining table.

"The investigation into Hanlong Group has already begun, and whether or not Fang Jun was involved in the Luo brothers’ misdeeds will soon become clear. If Fang Jun truly is innocent, then the results will naturally clear his name and also comfort Old Fang. But if not."

"With Old Fang’s integrity, he surely would not cover up or condone; on the contrary, I believe he would want his descendants to dare to admit their mistakes, reflect and repent, rather than being a coward who evades responsibility. Therefore, thoroughly investigating all issues related to Hanlong Group is the best way we can honor Old Fang."

Jiang Chen’s voice wasn’t loud nor impassioned, but it seemed to possess the power to stir hearts.

Cao Jinse pursed her lips, a spark of admiration in her eyes.

Everyone knew that the best choice just now was to submit to circumstances.

But no one could deny that sometimes, seemingly foolish impulsive acts carry an unparalleled charm.

Much like now.

Watching Jiang Chen, who just stared at the table and seemed too daunted to even look directly at the others, Lan Peizhi’s lips curved slightly.

Every time the bold Sage who could wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace put down his magic staff.

It’s imaginable how much courage and audacity Jiang Chen’s words took.

Instead of the expected cold faces, satisfied laughter echoed heartily.

"Although you rarely praise people, I was somewhat doubtful before I came, but now it seems, your judgement of people is as sharp as ever."

Sui Huimin looked at Lan Peizhi.

"You’re right, the prince committing an offense faces the same law as commoners. Any issues must be thoroughly investigated, and discovering the truth is the best tribute to Old Fang."

Jiang Chen, who hadn’t yet had the chance to look up, suddenly heard a series of notification sounds.
