Chapter 1180: 812 The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing_2

Jiang Chen continued, his tone grave and serious.

But who doesn’t know he’s joking.

Yang Ni also played along, putting on a displeased expression, and challenged, "Then why don’t you simply invite Yun Xi to endorse the casino? It would also attract foreigners. A sexy croupier dealing cards online—before long, your casino would definitely become the hottest one."

Even Bai Haoran couldn’t help but laugh.

Unmoved, Jiang Chen said, "That’s a good idea, but it doesn’t fit her public persona. It’s not worth it to ruin her public image just to advertise the casino. How about Miss Yang does the endorsement instead? We can negotiate the fee."

Yang Ni gave him a direct roll of her eyes, this time probably really a bit annoyed.

"So Yun Xi’s persona is valuable, but mine isn’t?"

"You haven’t been taking on many roles lately anyway."

"..."

The eloquent Yang Ni was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Ignore him."

Yun Xi seemed indifferent as she said to Yang Ni, "Let’s order."

Jiang Chen did not continue teasing this star who had realized class leap, and chatted with Bai Haoran as if no one else was present.

Listening to their discussion about the Haojiang casino, Yang Ni had a torrent of thoughts and gained further insight into the abilities of this young man.

"You’d better be careful, who knows, one day he might actually make you ’deal cards’ for the sake of the casino business."

Yang Ni, previously teased into silence, exacted her small revenge by dropping a hint.

"That would be your idea. If that day really comes, I’ll definitely drag you down with me."

Yun Xi was distinct in her gratitude and grievances.

"..."

Yang Ni was shocked and utterly speechless, then she bitter-smiled and said, "It’s really true, ’near vermillion, one gets stained red; near ink, one gets stained black.’ Yun Xi, you’ve learned bad habits."

Yun Xi looked at her, "So, do you still think I’m lucky?"

Yang Ni, who had previously praised her as an unbeatable lucky star, couldn’t help but smile wryly and then empathetically nodded, observing Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran in conversation, looking nothing like good people, "It turns out you’ve always been living in a dragon’s den and tiger’s den."

Bai Haoran’s phone rang.

"Hold on for a moment."

After answering, he said, and then looked at Jiang Chen, "Young Master Jiang, Xiang Yonghua has sent someone, they’re downstairs."

Xiang Yonghua.

Not to mention in public, even in private, those who dare to call his name directly are truly few.

Whenever Xiang Yonghua is mentioned, who doesn’t respectfully call him ’Mr. Xiang’?

But to be able to open a casino in Haojiang, one can imagine his influence and shrewdness.

Yang Ni quietened down, quietly observing both Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran.

"Here for me?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Bai Haoran nodded.

Nonchalantly, Jiang Chen quickly said, "Have them come up."

Bai Haoran immediately instructed through the phone.

A few minutes later.

A man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the restaurant, seemingly alone to show a certain attitude.

"Mr. Jiang."

He stood beside the table, slightly bowing his head as a show of respect.

Yang Ni noted this small detail silently.

"What does Mr. Xiang require?"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

"Mr. Xiang has arranged a banquet at Fenglai Pavilion, especially inviting Mr. Jiang to attend, and hopes Mr. Jiang will grace the occasion."

The Xiang Family inviting for a meal?

Could it still be about the movie matter?

But didn’t the Crown Prince of the Xiang Family just face that incident? How could he still be in the mood?

Or is it that the outside rumors were all false?

Yang Ni’s thoughts were racing.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, please tell Mr. Xiang, I will definitely attend on time."

Jiang Chen hardly hesitated before happily accepting the invitation.

"Then I won’t disturb Mr. Jiang’s meal further, will await Mr. Jiang’s esteemed arrival."

The suit-clad man, without giving another glance to the two radiant female stars, turned and left upon completing his task.

Bai Haoran did not immediately speak.

"Mr. Xiang might still be about inviting Yun Xi for a film," Yang Ni couldn’t help but remind.

"Three visits to the thatched cottage, the Xiang Family really knows how to bow to the wise."

Jiang Chen casually joked.

"No need to go."

Yun Xi spoke, her captivating eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

"Why not go? They specially sent someone to invite you, it would be impolite not to go."

"Young Master Jiang, I agree with Miss Pei’s opinion, no need to take the risk."

Risk.

Hearing Bai Haoran’s words, Yun Xi immediately confirmed her own suspicions.

She stared unwaveringly at Jiang Chen, "Aren’t you being a bit too impulsive."

Yang Ni was clueless, looking between them, seemingly unable to understand their conversation.

"It’s just a meal, what’s the harm, even if we can’t cooperate, we can still make a friend."

Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

Bai Haoran remained silent, leaving Pei Yunxi to speak.

"I don’t think the Xiang Family is in the mood to be friends with you."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, "Why? On the contrary, don’t you think now is the best time? Only when neither side owes each other can we sit down and communicate as equals."

Yang Ni has never doubted her intelligence, in fact, it’s something she prides herself on more than her appearance, but at this moment she felt undermined.

Because she found the more she listened, the more confused she became?

"Do you owe the Xiang Family any favors?"

She couldn’t help but ask Jiang Chen.

He smiled without saying a word.

"Does the Xiang Family owe you favors?"

Yang Ni continued guessing.

"No, the Xiang Family doesn’t owe me anything."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Yang Ni was still confused, full of perplexity.

What did his previous words mean?

"Do you have evidence that it was orchestrated by the Xiang Family?"

Pei Yunxi spoke again, seemingly out of context.

"Previously, there was no evidence, but just now, you saw it, the evidence was right in front of us."

Jiang Chen chuckled: "This is called being able to travel anywhere with reason."

"What if you were wrong?"

Pei Yunxi continued.

Jiang Chen shrugged, "Then it would be the other way around, I would invite the Xiang Family for a meal."

Pei Yunxi fell silent.

Inviting them for a meal.

How lightly put?

Dragging their dignity through the streets in front of all of Gangcheng, and that’s the compensation method?

Of course.

From the Xiang Family’s attitude, it was almost certain that her suspicions were not mistaken.

The black man who had become a corpse was not an extreme racist.

Otherwise, even if the Xiang Family were cowards, they wouldn’t remain amiable under such humiliation.

Just as the other party had said.

Being reasonable can take you everywhere.

Only those with a guilty conscience endure in silence.

The higher you climb, the more complex the interactions between people become.

Unlike ordinary people who will air any grievances loudly.

Sometimes, communication between those at the top doesn’t even involve verbal communication.

"It seems we’re in sync this time."

Jiang Chen, as if nothing had happened, was still winking at Pei Yunxi.

Pei Yunxi didn’t know what to say.

Indeed.

She suspected the sulfuric acid incident was orchestrated by the Xiang Family.

But without concrete evidence, she would never openly voice this suspicion.

At the same time, she also understood that he shared her sentiments.

Not leaving after closing the case, she knew that he was not planning to let it go, but she never expected his methods to be so extreme.

Yes.

The results did prove that the Xiang Family instigated the sulfuric acid incident.

But what if the speculation was wrong?

So, to rashly offend a mighty force in Gangcheng?

This man.

How overbearing is he?

"The Xiang Family is not made up of saints. If pushed too far, they are capable of anything,"

Pei Yunxi watched Jiang Chen, more serious than ever.

Jiang Chen faintly smiled, feeling reassured.

He of course understood that she cared about him.

Indeed.

Human rationality is limited.

Even the calmest of people have their moments of loss of control.

Especially those who have sliced their way out of blood and gore.

Such characters, when truly inflamed, really don’t care about your background or who you are.

That’s also why it’s said, willing to suffer all consequences, bold enough to even pull down the Emperor.

"Miss Pei is absolutely right, Mr. Jiang, you needn’t go personally, I’ll go,"

Bai Haoran calmly opened his mouth.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "I have already agreed to go."

"You are not someone who cares too much about saving face,"

Pei Yunxi said, her simple dozen words filled with rhetorical artistry.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, pondered for a moment, and likewise sighed with a rich philosophical air.

"The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, Jianghu, is all about favors and incidents."
