Chapter 1384: 942 Beauty and the Beast (Requesting monthly votes!)

"Knock knock knock..."

The sound of knocking was heard.

Returning to the East Sea from Sichuan and Shu, the dozing Jiang Chen opened his eyes, his legs still propped up on the desk, looking quite laid-back.

"Come in."

The visitor was Luo Peng.

"Tsk, working so hard? How about you take a nap first, I’ll come back later?"

"Get to the point."

Jiang Chen pinched the bridge of his nose, speaking irritably.

He really didn’t sleep well last night, what with the bus and the plane back to the East Sea, and hardly rested on the way.

"Every time I think of you working overtime tirelessly, I feel like sitting on pins and needles, a fishbone stuck in my throat, a thorn in my back. Now seeing you so exhausted, I feel at ease."

Young Master Luo was still the best bad friend, joked a bit, then shifted to being earnest.

"You’re back just in time, I was planning to tell you, I’m thinking of taking some annual leave."

"Something up?"

Jiang Chen put his legs down from the table.

"Nothing."

Luo Peng replied straightforwardly.

"If nothing’s up, why are you taking leave?"

Jiang Chen instinctively said.

"Are you a slave driver or what? Which law states you can only take leave if something’s up? Besides, I’m taking annual leave, you know? It’s an employee benefit entitlement."

Luo Peng accused while pulling a chair to sit.

Jiang Chen, of course, knew him well, watching a buddy he’d been under the same roof with for four years, "Tell the truth."

Luo Peng crossed his legs, "I’m planning to go on a trip."

Jiang Chen, intrigued, "With whom?"

"Alone."

"Stop the nonsense."

Jiang Chen responded without thinking.

How could he not know what this fellow is like?

Perhaps many people enjoy the feeling of traveling alone, but he believed Luo Peng hadn’t reached that level.

"What are you, a cop? Why so many questions?"

"Not approved."

Jiang Chen was equally decisive.

Luo Peng laughed in surprise, "Not approved, huh? Alright, you’d better turn off your phone, or you won’t get any peace."

After the joke, Luo Peng didn’t hide, he casually said, "And Wan Qing."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, "Xia Wanqing?"

Luo Peng nodded.

Jiang Chen’s gaze turned peculiar at once, but before he could speak, Luo Peng said, "Keep your thoughts clean, it’s not to that degree."

Jiang Chen laughed, "So, is she willing to travel with you?"

"I asked, and she agreed."

"Truly a role model for our generation."

Jiang Chen praised.

"Come on, stop mocking me." Luo Peng said, "This time, I’m not planning on going too far, just planning to wander around nearby."

"Abroad?"

"I’ve almost been everywhere in the country."

"Xia Wanqing has the time?"

"Isn’t it you who brought Jin Zhuxuan back from Goryeo? You couldn’t care less. She’s planning to return to Goryeo to see her family soon, so as her agent, Wan Qing can naturally take a break for a while."

Jiang Chen nodded, reminding, "It’s fine to wander around, but don’t go to places like Myanmar or Southern Yue."

"Do you think I’m stupid? There’s a war over there right now, I wouldn’t go even if they paid me." Luo Peng said, "The first stop is Xiang Country, we’ll see after that."

"Xiang Country isn’t that safe either, besides its ladyboys, the biggest feature is freak shows. There was a news report about a couple who went there to try on clothes and disappeared. When the husband found his wife, she’d become a mutilated human."

"That was years ago, do you know how many people travel to Xiang Country every year?"

Luo Peng laughed, "Although it’s indeed more chaotic than home, with human trafficking and scams, now with the war in Myanmar, the security situation over there should be a bit better too."

In this large-scale criminal business, it’s usually cross-border.

Talking about this, Luo Peng couldn’t help but say, "The Allied Army really are our people, you know that guy from our department? He was tricked by a Myanmar telecom fraud group, and his family paid hundreds of thousands but didn’t get him back. I’ve heard the Allied Army has handed over quite a few people to the country."

Jiang Chen didn’t follow up, reminded, "It’s best to bring a bodyguard."

At Luo Peng’s current level, having a bodyguard is only right.

But how to have a romantic two-person world with a bodyguard?

How could Luo Peng not notice his good friend’s mischievous intention, so he ignored him, "Alright, you get some rest."

After all, brothers care for brothers.

Seeing him tired, Luo Peng didn’t bother much, after saying what needed to be said, he got up to leave.

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of a face.

Fujiwara Reiki.

Until now, he can’t be sure if the two are the same person, but the aura and appearance of both are indeed very similar.

Back then, Luo Peng was quite besotted with Teacher Xiang Tian.

As he was about to mention it, Jiang Chen held back.

Luo Peng is doing well now, why add unnecessary worries?

"Oh, and after you’ve rested, go to the legal department."

Luo Peng unexpectedly turned back.

"Why?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"The legal department has hired a new expert who has solved several troublesome cases for us. As the boss, you should go and say hello."

Saying that, Luo Peng left.

Jiang Chen didn’t take it to heart, simply leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rested for a while again.

When he opened his eyes again, it was still quite bright, but it was already six o’clock.

"Did the legal department get off work?"

Jiang Chen recalled Luo Peng’s words, Young Master Luo might be saying too much in other areas, but regarding work, he’s still reliable, wouldn’t say things for no reason.

"General Jiang, the legal department gets off work at five."

"Hmm, that’s all."

No chance to "visit" today.

Jiang Chen washed his face, left the office, and drove Tianci Capital’s executive car back to Spring and Autumn Plaza, didn’t return home, but parked at the front of Pei Yunxi’s villa.
