Chapter 313: 302 Hello

Glancing at Chen Zhou, who was slumped against the wall, disheveled like a pan of scrambled eggs, Jiang Chen’s face darkened like a deity descended from the heavens. He quickly approached the weeping woman, disregarding the concern he had previously held for boundaries between men and women, and helped her up from the ground.

"Are you okay?"

"Why did it take you so long to come..."

Tonight, the lawless Miss Shi must have really been frightened, crying with her face like a pear blossom bathed in rain, truly heartrending.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but glance again at the man who he had briefly encountered while taking the executive elevator at the Gold Sea.

Even when Liang Zhenlun had snatched away his love, he didn’t seem as angry as he was now.

Given the situation, it was clear what the other party intended to do.

If he had arrived even a moment later, the consequences would have been unthinkable!

"It’s okay now."

Jiang Chen suppressed his anger and comforted her in a gentle voice, wiping the tears from Shi Qianxi’s face.

But the more he wiped, the more tears there were.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

For some reason, hearing the sobs of this fragile witch, Jiang Chen faintly felt a twinge of heartache.

"Crying doesn’t suit the style of Miss Shi, does it..."

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

Shi Qianxi didn’t care. She buried her head in his chest, and soon Jiang Chen felt a dampness on his torso.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and after her crying subsided a bit, he gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Get up, I’ll take you home."

"I can’t move."

Shi Qianxi’s voice was hoarse, choked with sobs, "He drugged me."

No wonder he felt her body was limp like boneless.

This time Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and took the initiative to wrap Shi Qianxi’s arms around his neck before lifting her in a princess carry without any embarrassment, picking her swiftly up around the waist.

He didn’t bother with Chen Zhou anymore and walked out of that wicked room.

Anyone who dared to do something as insane as that, whether they succeeded or not, their fate was sealed.

The Shi Family would naturally deal with it. It was not his place to interfere.

At the entrance.

Meiko, dressed in a kimono, stood outside cautiously.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen expressed his sincere gratitude.

If it hadn’t been for her timely information, Shi Qianxi might not have escaped her fate tonight.

"This is the young lady’s phone."

Since Jiang Chen was holding someone, it wasn’t convenient for him to take it, so Meiko thoughtfully stuffed the phone into his pocket, and then she followed them out and helped pull open the car door.

"That man, don’t worry about him. If he wants to leave, let him go."

Meiko nodded her head.

Jiang Chen placed Shi Qianxi in the passenger seat of the Pamera and then circled around to the driver’s seat.

Meiko watched the Pamera drive off until she could no longer see the taillights, then she turned around and retracted the docile expression from her face, returning to the izakaya emotionlessly.

"Meiko, quick, help me stop them..."

Chen Zhou, who was still sitting against the wall, touched his head weakly and raised his hand.

The kick from Jiang Chen really wasn’t light; his head was bleeding, blood trickling through his fingers, and his voice was weak and breathless.

The previously obedient Meiko was indifferent, slowly entering the room and beginning to tidy up.

"Meiko?"

"You should leave."

Chen Zhou was stunned, his hands falling to his side, his forehead split open, a harrowing sight to behold.

"We are closing now."

Meiko placed the towel in the basin, carried the basin, took the ghastly mask, and calmly stood up to leave.

"Feeling any better?"

Red light.

Jiang Chen stopped the car.

Shi Qianxi shook her head slightly, the motion resembling that of a marionette being controlled.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

"You’re laughing!"

Shi Qianxi, with a crying tone, said, "Do you realize you were almost cuckolded!"

"..."

Given what she had gone through, Jiang Chen didn’t argue with her this time, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.

"What exactly happened? How did he drug you?"

Shi Qianxi gave a brief recount of the events, "When I opened my eyes and saw that mask, I thought you were trying some new trick..."

"Do I look like that kind of person to you?"

Jiang Chen was both irritated and amused as he saw the red light turn green and released the brake. "I seemed to have met him once when I went to your company. Who is he really?"

"He was my dad’s former secretary."

"Your dad’s secretary?"

Jiang Chen looked puzzled as he drove, "Why would he do that?"

"How should I know?"

Miss Shi’s emotions seemed to have settled somewhat, guessing it might be due to dissatisfaction with job reassignment, but she didn’t elaborate.

"Maybe it’s just my charm that’s too great."

"..."

Jiang Chen was once again at a loss for words.

"You should learn from this incident. Don’t always do whatever you want. Remember to take bodyguards with you when you go out."

Jiang Chen sighed but didn’t press further.

The internal affairs of the Gold Sea were not something he should inquire too deeply into.

"It’s not my fault, why are you blaming me?"

"I’m not blaming you. I’m just reminding you. If today your phone hadn’t been picked up by the waitress, just think about what could have happened."

Reflecting on it, Jiang Chen too felt a sense of relief.

Good people don’t live long.

Misfortunes linger for a thousand years.

There’s truth to that saying.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let you be humiliated."

Jiang Chen looked over, puzzled.

"I had already decided. If he had really dared, I would have bitten my tongue and killed myself."

She was actually this resolute?

"You don’t believe me?"

Shi Qianxi saw his doubtful gaze.

"If you had been a few seconds later, what you would have found would have been my corpse!"

Regardless of how true her words were, Jiang Chen naturally didn’t dwell on it.

"I won’t passively make you a cuckold. If it comes to that, I’ll do it on my own initiative."

Shi Qianxi kept muttering to herself.

Jiang Chen habitually ignored her ranting and raving.

"How do you plan to handle this matter?"

"I’ve said it before, I want to kill his whole family."

Shi Qianxi replied without hesitation, her tone cold and indifferent, not sounding like a joke.

It wasn’t long ago that Jiang Chen had watched a brutal and bloody underground boxing match; he now knew very clearly that sometimes, human life truly meant very little.

"What era are we in, and we’re still talking about collective punishment?"

Jiang Chen said with a teasing tone.

Dealing with this lady required soft tactics; otherwise, provoking her would only backfire.

"The kind of person he is; could his parents be any good?"

"Then why don’t you say his teachers also bear responsibility? He was also your father’s former secretary; your father had a duty to teach him, doesn’t it mean that your father is also involved?"

Shi Qianxi was momentarily at a loss for words.

She exhaled a breath.

"Anyway, what I say doesn’t count. My dad definitely won’t let me handle it."

Jiang Chen fell silent.

Indeed.

The former board secretary’s actions had crossed the line, not just for a family like the Shi Family, but even ordinary people would probably not tolerate such behavior. Shi Qianxi, the victim, might already be unable to determine the other party’s fate.

Of course.

As for such scum, Jiang Chen had no sympathy whatsoever.

The traffic had improved a bit in the evening. But it still took over forty minutes to get to the Shi Family estate.

After all, East Sea was simply too big.

"I won’t walk you in."

Jiang Chen parked the car outside the estate.

"Why not?"

"Isn’t your dad home?"

"He is."

"How can I go in if he is?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Shi Qianxi said confidently, "You saved me tonight. You are our family’s benefactor. My dad will only be grateful to you."

Still, better not.

He was not yet ready to come face to face with that big shot.

However, Shi Qianxi’s next words left Jiang Chen with no way to retreat.

"The effects of the medicine haven’t worn off yet; I can’t walk at all."

"Still can’t move?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed skepticism,

her slight bodily movements seemed more natural than at the beginning.

Shi Qianxi immediately nodded, appearing sincere.

"Why would I lie to you? Besides, my dad should already be asleep by now; it’s fine."

Jiang Chen, feeling helpless, got out of the car and went to the passenger’s side to open the door.

Miss Shi very naturally extended her arms.

Another princess carry.

He pressed the doorbell, and the majestic automatic gate of the estate slowly opened.

Jiang Chen carried Shi Qianxi in.

This must be the ideal scenario that Chen Zhou dreamed of, yet Jiang Chen was the one to make it a reality.

So that saying really wasn’t wrong.

In this world, there are always people living the life you can only dream of.

"Miss..."

At the entrance of the main house, as the young man approached, the nanny who came out to greet them was taken aback.

Jiang Chen, feeling awkward but maintaining politeness, gave a small smile.

Despite professional training, seeing the missy comfortably lying in his arms, the nanny was still slightly dazed.

Jiang Chen intended to put her down, but Shi Qianxi said, "We’re not there yet."

So he had to keep walking.

This was his first time entering the Shi Family home.

Spring and Autumn Plaza is known as the symbol of high-end residences in the country, but this estate was even more luxurious than Spring and Autumn Plaza.

It’s no exaggeration to say, it was like a palace.

The estate was very quiet.

The big shot must be resting.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief inside.

"Aunty Zhou, pour him a cup of tea."

Although Miss Shi couldn’t move her body, she was warmly hospitable, lying in Jiang Chen’s arms, ordering the flustered nanny following behind.

"No need, I’ll be leaving right away."

Jiang Chen hurriedly said, as he wasn’t here for a visit. He planned to put the young lady down on the sofa and then slip away.

But things did not go as he hoped.

If only the estate wasn’t so huge, who could walk this long in an ordinary house?

Before he reached the sofa, Shi Qianxi in his arms suddenly called out,

"Dad."

Jiang Chen’s steps halted abruptly, as if he had been immobilized, his body stiffening.

Behind him.

The sound of footsteps descending the stairs slowly reached his ears.

"Boss."

The respectful voice of the nanny followed.

"Why the daze?"

Miss Shi fluttered her eyelashes, puzzled.

"%¥@#*..."

Jiang Chen, his head full of black lines, moved even slower than Shi Qianxi had in the car, slowly turning around.

A man was coming down the stairs, broad and sturdy, who, even in pajamas, still exuded an overwhelming presence.

Jiang Chen had seen the man before, but never this close.

They looked eye to eye.

The Miss Shi lying comfortably in his arms seemed unaware of any impropriety, her arms still wrapped around his neck.

"Hurry up and call him."

"..."

Jiang Chen forced out an incredibly stiff smile.

"Director Shi, hello."
