Chapter 317: Good and evil will be rewarded in the end

"Miss."

"What is it?"

Miss Shi didn’t even lift her eyelids, still staring at Jiang Chen.

"Last night, Chen Zhou was involved in a severe car accident on the North-South Expressway."

Jiang Chen’s gaze suddenly flickered, silently turning towards the bodyguard.

Shi Qianxi continued eating her lamb chops and goose liver as if nothing had happened.

"How is he?"

"He has multiple contusions of the soft tissue all over his body, fractures of the sternum and bones in the hand, and he also suffered a severe concussion and intracranial hemorrhage. The doctor diagnosed a risk of vegetative state."

Shi Qianxi’s expression didn’t change.

"Alright, I got it."

The bodyguard promptly left.

Jiang Chen’s gaze wavered, hesitating to speak.

"Aren’t you going to eat? Is it not to your liking?"

Shi Qianxi smiled at him.

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"Or should I have them make you a bowl of hot dry noodles instead? I’ve heard that’s a favorite in your hometown."

Jiang Chen’s emotions were a mix of flavors.

To hear such shocking news delivered with such indifference, yet to know the breakfast specialty of his hometown.

"No need."

Jiang Chen picked up his knife and fork, without making any unnecessary inquiries.

Where in the world could such a coincidence occur?

He had barely escaped with ill intentions last night, and then a car accident happened?

And it was so brutal that he ended up in a vegetative state?

Even if what goes around comes around, and good and evil eventually meet their fate, wouldn’t it take longer than this to happen?

He knew the Shi family wouldn’t just let things slide, but he hadn’t expected them to be so ruthlessly efficient.

Vegetative state.

That’s far worse than death itself.

Thankfully, the lady probably didn’t want to cause a commotion within the family and chose to hire someone on her own. Otherwise, his fate might not have been much better than Chen Zhou’s.

Shi Qianxi didn’t bring up Chen Zhou’s incident throughout the meal.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Chen planned to take his leave.

"Wait a second."

"What else is there?"

"What kind of attitude is that?"

Shi Qianxi showed displeasure and a sense of grievance, "Last night, you were in my room, and you..."

Jiang Chen’s heart twitched. Even though Shi Zhenhua wasn’t around, there were still several nannies right there!

Although it was entirely against his will, who would care about that?

"Is there anything else?"

He hurriedly interrupted, his tone instantly becoming much gentler.

"You’ll need to go with me later."

"For what?"

Jiang Chen asked subconsciously.

"To the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, of course. Didn’t you say to avoid any prolonged complications? Since we’ve already settled things with that vixen, we can start setting up the company."

One has to admit, the lady could be quite reliable at times.

Jiang Chen’s expression relaxed a bit, and he nodded, "Okay."

"Then wait for me, I’ll go change."

A woman’s "just a minute" is always a rather vague concept, and this waiting almost lasted until noon.

The recently released Chanel autumn-winter haute couture suit, imposing black high boots, and diamond earrings dangling from her ears.

As he got into the car, Jiang Chen couldn’t help commenting, "Are you going to a beauty contest?"

Shi Qianxi ignored it.

"Let’s get going."

Jiang Chen started the car.

However, it wasn’t long before a Mercedes followed suit.

Obviously, it was the Shi Family’s bodyguard.

Jiang Chen noticed but wasn’t surprised.

After what happened last night, the Shi family would certainly take heed. They wouldn’t take Shi Qianxi’s safety lightly anymore.

In other words, Miss Shi’s previously "carefree" days were probably gone for good.

"Damn it!"

Shi Qianxi glanced at the rearview mirror; she was probably not cursing the bodyguard.

Objectively speaking, Jiang Chen thought such precautions were necessary. Although Chen Zhou had already paid the price for his madness, who knows if a Li Zhou or Wang Zhou might pop up next. He couldn’t possibly make it in time to save the day every time.

But if the bodyguards kept following them, how would they go to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?

"No worries, just listen to me and turn right."

Following Shi Qianxi’s directions, Jiang Chen drove the car and, to his surprise, ended up at a picturesque dock.

The water rippled, and by the azure sea, white yachts bobbed with the waves. The men passing by were each more distinguished than the last, while the women were all fair-skinned, beautiful, and leggy.

"Did you take a wrong turn?"

Jiang Chen parked the car.

"Get out of the car."

Without further explanation and sporting an inscrutable expression, Shi Qianxi was the first to push open the door and walk out.

Confused, Jiang Chen could only follow her out.

"Qianxi, it’s really not easy to meet up with you. I heard you actually went to work in Jin Hai? Is it true?"

As they approached the coast, several young men and women greeted Shi Qianxi with warm smiles and familiarity.

Jiang Chen, who followed behind, was a bit stunned.

Weren’t they supposed to go to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?

"I can’t help it. If it weren’t for the death order from my dad, I wouldn’t want to suffer there. You guys have no idea how I’ve been getting through this period. Finally, I have a chance to take a break and breathe."

Miss Shi, although not known for a good temper, certainly wasn’t lacking friends of both high and low stature given her identity.

"Qianxi sis, I thought you were looking down on us."

The few young people speaking with Shi Qianxi, exuding delicacy and tenderness, clearly came from pampered backgrounds. Without any need for background checks, one could tell from their faces alone they were from wealthy families. Even their casual chit-chat carried an air distinctly different from the general public.

"Fat Tiger, you must be itching for a beating after not being disciplined for a while, huh?"

The one Shi Qianxi called Fat Tiger was actually not the least bit overweight; in fact, he was quite slim and around 177 centimeters tall, probably weighing no more than 130 pounds.

Definitely the son of some wealthy family, he chuckled sheepishly, not daring to talk back.

"Buddy, what are you doing here?"

A young man wearing sunglasses noticed Jiang Chen approaching.

The well-to-do youths all turned their gazes in unison.

"What are you blabbing about? This is your brother-in-law."

Shi Qianxi nonchalantly looped her arm through that of the unprepared Jiang Chen. "Let me introduce you—Jiang Chen, my boyfriend."

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, only the calls of seagulls and the soothing sound of the waves could be heard.

These privileged sons and daughters looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

"Let’s go, get on the boat first."

As if nothing were amiss, Shi Qianxi led Jiang Chen toward the most conspicuous three-tiered yacht at the coast.

The yacht bore a huge painting of a goddess, luxurious and ethereal, striking awe into the onlooker’s hearts.

"What’s going on?"

"How would I know?"

"Fang Shan, you’re closest to Qianxi. Do you know anything?"

Fang Shan, the daughter of the so-called ’King of Ships’ in East Sea quickly shook her head, indicating she was just as clueless.

"Wasn’t Qianxi previously close with Sun Xiyu? How did she suddenly have a boyfriend pop up? Does anyone recognize that guy?"

"I don’t."

"Damn, what is Qianxi up to now?"

The confused scions from illustrious families had no clue.

But Shi Qianxi didn’t care what they thought; she was already boarding the yacht with Jiang Chen.

The poor play with cars, the rich with watches.

And for the truly wealthy, private jets and luxurious yachts are their toys.

"This yacht is called the Athena. It was a birthday gift for Fang Shan on her 18th birthday, from her father. I heard that just the design cost 3 million pounds," she explained.

Three million pounds converts to over 20 million RMB.

And that’s only the design fee.

"That’s Fang Shan. You may have heard of her father, the chairman of Fang International Trading Co. He owns eight ocean cargo ships over one hundred thousand tons each. He’s the undisputed King of Ships in East Sea and also an important partner in Jin Hai."

Shi Qianxi, still linking arms with Jiang Chen, stood on the deck, looking down upon the sons and daughters whispering by the coast.

"That Fat Tiger, I’ve known him since we were kids. Don’t let his figure fool you; he was quite chubby as a child..."

Jiang Chen, who had anticipated the backgrounds of these people, interjected, "Didn’t you say we were going to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce?"

"What’s the rush."

Shi Qianxi said nonchalantly, "With a tail following us, how can we go? Do you want my dad to find out so soon?"

It seemed this woman had planned this all along.

"Then why did you lie to me at the start?"

"I didn’t lie to you."

Shi Qianxi justified herself righteously, "To register a company, you don’t necessarily have to be there in person—a simple phone call is enough."

"..."

Indeed.

Normal logic doesn’t apply in certain circles.

With her status, there was no need for her to travel back and forth like ordinary people. A single phone call would probably suffice to have all the procedures handled and delivered to her door.

"I brought you here for a reason. You’ll find out soon enough."
