Chapter 399: 364 Personality Charisma

When Jiang Chen entered the room, he instantly sensed the tense and hostile atmosphere in the office.

Immediately after,

he quickly noticed the vaguely familiar figure sitting in front of the office desk.

"Jiang Chen!"

Before he could take a closer look, Miss Shi abruptly stood up, hurriedly walked around the desk, and, as if nobody else were present, took his arm with both hands, her face displaying a look of grievance, "He bullied me!"

"..."

"..."

The office instantly became as quiet as if someone had hit the pause button, with the silence of a dropped pin.

Taken aback, Jiang Chen found himself momentarily stunned, wondering if there was a problem with his hearing.

This lady was bullied?

And in the headquarters of Jinhai?

Soon, a hearty laugh echoed, breaking through his bewilderment.

"Haha, Jiang Chen, we meet again."

It wasn’t just the figure that seemed familiar.

This voice, too, seemed like an old acquaintance.

Jiang Chen looked closely.

The man sitting there had already stood up and turned around.

Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted.

It was none other than Ye Tingxuan, the very same "Prince Ye" who had nearly done a number on his kidneys.

No wonder.

Although Miss Shi was feared in East Sea, compared to this prince, she indeed fell short.

What was he doing in East Sea?

"Ye Shaol."

Full of doubt inside, Jiang Chen didn’t show it, quickly putting on a warm smile and greeted him amicably.

Even if they hadn’t hit it off through fighting, at least the last time in Yunfu, even after getting beaten to a pulp, Prince Ye had kept his promise, generously allowing them to leave without giving them a hard time.

Though impetuous, in terms of credibility, Prince Ye far surpassed most people.

"Miss Shi, I was just joking earlier, please don’t mind it," said Prince Ye, his smile brimming, exuding charm.

But Shi Qianxi seemed not to appreciate it, ignoring him and still holding onto Jiang Chen’s hand, like a bullied child who suddenly found a protector, she quickly complained, "He smashed my car!"

Jiang Chen remained unfazed, not the least surprised.

Not knowing the exact details, whatever happened between these two was not at all surprising.

"Miss Shi, I have already explained that I had no choice," he said.

Quite a "had no choice" indeed.

Shi Qianxi acted as though she hadn’t heard.

A man’s name.

The shade of a tree,

It was indeed her first face-to-face meeting with Ye Tingxuan, but the headstrong Miss Shi certainly harbored some trepidation towards this prince.

After all, her caprice was entirely predicated on her family background.

This man, however, was someone even her father tread lightly around.

She didn’t wish to confront him, but she couldn’t just swallow her anger.

"You make him compensate me," she insisted.

The clever Miss Shi didn’t even glance at Ye Tingxuan, focusing solely on Jiang Chen.

A woman bullied, seeking a man’s support, indeed seemed reasonable.

"..."

"..."

This, however, put Jiang Chen in a rather difficult position, his temple twitching, as he didn’t quite know what to say.

Although he had successfully brought Pei Yunxi back to East Sea from Yunfu, he hadn’t deluded himself into thinking that he had the standing to arm-wrestle with this prince.

Perhaps in the future.

But not yet.

They simply weren’t in the same league.

Even if he wanted to take her side, his hands were tied.

"Where’s your father?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"My dad’s not in," Shi Qianxi replied, and then quickly repeated, "You make him pay."

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

Debts have their debtors, each to its own.

The guy who smashed your car is right here, go straight to him, what are you involving me for?

But Miss Shi seemed stuck on him, or rather, full of confidence in him, convinced that he could set things right for her.

Indeed.

The incident of Pei Yunxi being kidnapped had solidified a towering image of Jiang Chen in her mind.

This was a feat that even her father couldn’t manage, yet Jiang Chen had pulled it off.

Beauty lies in the lover’s eyes, as the saying goes.

So when she received the call about who smashed her car and heard the self-introduction of Ye Tingxuan, she immediately dialed Jiang Chen’s number.

"Miss Shi, rest assured, I was the one who smashed the car, and I will definitely take responsibility," Prince Ye said earnestly, not shirking his responsibility, magnanimously declaring, "You let the fourth son assess the damage, and I’ll compensate you accordingly."

How reasonable could he get?

Shi Qianxi fell silent.

In reality, what was a car to her? It was just a way to vent her frustration.

The other party’s attitude had given her plenty of face, allowing her to let the matter rest without further fuss.

Otherwise, if she truly angered this madman, the outcome might not be so easy to handle.

"Ye Shaol, it’s also time for lunch, let’s go and eat," Jiang Chen smoothly suggested.

"Let’s not rush the meal," Ye Tingxuan said, "I’ve already said last time that when I come to East Sea, I have to seek revenge on you. Find a place, let’s spar once more."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

Back in Yunfu,

The other party did indeed say that.

And they even said that if they won, they would take Pei Yunxi away again.

Last time we sparred, I had already figured out this little prince’s abilities. Better than a good-for-nothing, but not much stronger than an average person. One-on-one, I was pretty confident.

But Jiang Chen really didn’t want to "resort to violence" again, since, win or lose, there was no real benefit.

"Ye Tingxuan, why don’t we finish eating before we talk about this."

Just as Jiang Chen was about to employ a stalling tactic, Miss Shi interjected, "Are you guys going to fight?"

"He beat me up pretty badly last time. This time, I need to get my revenge."

Ye Tingxuan made no attempt to hide his intentions.

Shi Qianxi looked at Jiang Chen strangely.

She had asked Jiang Chen how he brought Pei Yunxi back, and Jiang Chen said he had beaten up Ye Tingxuan. She always thought he was just boasting.

Could it be true?

"Ye Tingxuan, it’s time for meals as well. Why don’t we eat first, then spar."

"You shouldn’t exercise right after eating. Let’s fight now."

Shi Qianxi’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Chen glared at her.

"Miss Shi is right, if we’re going to fight, let’s do it now."

Ye Tingxuan was quite persistent, as if he had come to the East Sea specifically for revenge.

Having no choice, Jiang Chen agreed.

"Why are you following?"

"I’m going to watch."

"You’re not working?"

"No big deal, my dad isn’t around anyway."

Shi Qianxi righteously proclaimed, "Hurry up, let’s go."

Jiang Chen had no rebuttal and allowed her to follow.

After greeting Bai Haoran, he took the two to the gym where he often practiced boxing.

"Miss Shi."

The two contenders went to change into their gear.

Bai Haoran lowered his head to greet Shi Qianxi, feeling somewhat awkward considering he had once kidnapped her.

Miss Shi was totally oblivious, as Bai Haoran had not shown his face directly during the event, and Shi Qianxi did not actually recognize him. She nodded indifferently.

Jiang Chen and Ye Tingxuan changed into their gear and put on their gloves before stepping onto the platform.

"Go for it!"

Shi Qianxi, as usual, enjoyed stirring up excitement, cheering loudly.

Even though Prince Ye had admitted his mistake with a good attitude and expressed willingness to compensate, Miss Shi couldn’t help but still hold a grudge against him.

Bai Haoran, on the other hand, maintained a peaceful mindset, but if he knew the true identity of the man boxing with Jiang Chen, his reaction might have been quite different.

Although against his wishes, Jiang Chen also knew he couldn’t afford to lose. If the opponent demanded to take Pei Yunxi away again, it would be troublesome. So, he pulled no punches and gave it his all with every blow.

Apart from Miss Shi, many others in the gym gradually came over to watch, cheering on, blissfully unaware that the combatants on the platform were probably unreachable figures for them, even if they aspired their entire lives.

The gloves could buffer most of the force. Naturally, it wasn’t as bloody as the previous time in Yunfu. Jiang Chen and Ye Tingxuan were evenly matched, exchanging blows back and forth evenly.

"Ouch, come on, put some strength into it! Hit his stomach!"

Miss Shi clenched her teeth, almost wishing she could jump in herself.

Bang!

Ye Tingxuan took a punch to the face and stumbled to the side.

"That’s right! Hit him!"

Miss Shi was ecstatic, her pretty melon seed-shaped face flushed red, almost wishing she could capture this satisfying moment with her phone.

But after a moment’s thought, she resisted.

Prince Ye came prepared this time, presumably having undergone short-term intensive training and learned some new moves. He ducked under Jiang Chen’s combination punches and, smoothly as flowing water, delivered a sweeping kick, flipping Jiang Chen onto the canvas.

"Haha."

Ye Tingxuan laughed triumphantly.

"You’re despicable! How can you use legs in boxing?!"

Miss Shi berated angrily, clearly delighting in exacting vengeance and not hiding her bias.

Ye Tingxuan was both amused and annoyed.

Who said you can’t use legs in boxing?

He turned his head, about to argue properly with her, but suddenly Jiang Chen tripped him up and threw him heavily to the ground.

"Thud!"

"Haha, serves you right!"

Shi Qianxi burst into hearty laughter.

"Damn, it’s two against one, that’s not fair!"

"If you can’t fight, just admit it, stop making excuses!"

Shi Qianxi kept mocking, launching magical attacks from the sidelines.

The combatants were already evenly matched, and now with Shi Qianxi’s heckling, Ye Tingxuan gradually fell behind. After being knocked down again and lying on the mat, sweat-drenched and weak, he waved his hand feebly.

"No more fighting."

Jiang Chen, panting heavily, took this as an opportunity to stop and went over to help him up, but who would have known the other party would defy martial ethics and suddenly grab him in a judo throw.

"Thud!"

Both men lay exhausted on the platform.

"Exhilarating!"

Ye Tingxuan looked up at the ceiling and let out a satisfied breath.

"Jiang Chen!"

Miss Shi rushed onto the platform and helped Jiang Chen up, her face full of concern, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Jiang Chen lifted his arm and wiped the sweat away.

By comparison,

Ye Tingxuan looked a bit desolate as he lay alone on the platform, unattended and struggling to turn his head. With labored breath, he said, "Jiang Chen, I really can’t understand – you’re not as handsome as me, so why do you have such good luck with women?"

"Cut it out, Jiang Chen is way handsomer than you!"

Miss Shi was now unrestrained, openly sneering.

Jiang Chen glanced at him and smiled.

"See, that’s called personal charm."

Ye Tingxuan paused, then began to laugh uncontrollably, pounding on the platform.
