Chapter 879: 643 No one can judge me_2
"How about we fight one-on-one?"
Jiang Chen smiled and glanced at his arm, where blood was pooling.
"I know Mr. Geng is formidable, but under these circumstances, you may not necessarily be my match."
"Even if I’m not, at least I can have no regrets."
The bloodloss had already made Geng Long’s forehead break out in a cold sweat, he didn’t attempt to pick up the gun that had fallen to the ground because at such a close distance, his movements could never be faster than a bullet.
The tables had turned.
"I don’t like to take advantage of someone in peril."
Jiang Chen shook his head, serious, "Even if I won, it wouldn’t be honorable."
Geng Long grinned, blue veins popping on his forehead.
"Mr. Geng, turn yourself in."
Jiang Chen held the gun but didn’t pull the trigger again.
"Do you know what my biggest dream is?"
Jiang Chen watched him silently.
"To have control of my fate in my own hands."
Geng Long gave a twisted smile.
"Nobody can judge me, no one."
After saying this, his expression suddenly became ferocious, but instead of charging at Jiang Chen in a desperate struggle, he dragged his drooping right arm, slowly stepping backward.
The crimson blood continued to flow from his right hand, leaving behind an alarming red streak across the road.
Jiang Chen watched him the entire time.
Geng Long gradually backed to the edge of the roadway, leaning against the guardrail.
"You couldn’t beat him."
He left behind that final message, the domineering powerbroker casually leaned back, broke through the guardrail, and plunged straight into the churning sea.
He Family Manor.
The feasting and toasting continued.
Oblivious to the tragedy that had unfolded on the mountain road.
"Madam He, you look younger and younger."
Ji Zhaohua came over with a glass in his hand.
Madam He smiled gracefully, "How is Mr. Ji’s health?"
"Grandfather is very healthy, thank you for your concern, Madam He."
"Of course, Mr. Ji is our elder. You should spend more time with him; people of his age value the company of family more and more, I feel the same."
As she spoke, Madam He glanced at the younger generation of the He family mingling with guests, her expression full of warmth, as if they were an incredibly harmonious large family.
Ji Zhaohua could clearly read between the lines; she was essentially telling him not to "run around" and to stay put in Canada.
"Madam He is right, it’s just that I had no choice, someone has to undertake the family’s responsibilities."
Madam He nodded with a smile, "Indeed."
Ji Zhaohua took a sip of champagne, looking around.
The saying ’only the nobles engage in banter here’ couldn’t be more true.
"The He family’s influence in Haojiang is unmatched. No wonder grandfather always says that Haojiang owes its development to the He family."
He mused.
"Mr. Ji flatters us; we just did what we had to do. Everyone here has made indelible contributions to Haojiang."
Madam He replied composedly, exuding authority and entirely displaying her stature.
Ji Zhaohua nodded, withdrawing his gaze, "Grandfather always thinks of Shenzhou and has always taught us to return and serve our country if we have the chance. That is also why the family has sent me here."
Madam He listened with a smile.
"The gambling license auction is imminent, and if we are lucky enough to secure one, I hope Madam He will give us plenty of support."
A gambling license.
Ji Zhaohua was undoubtedly expressing that he did not have much ambition, and between the lines, he was signaling his goodwill towards the He family.
A mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
No one wanted to completely fall out with the He family.
"The Ji family already controls the gambling industry in Canada and is rightfully the royal family of gambling there. With your experience in this field, you surely wouldn’t need our help."
Madam He spoke warmly, yet Ji Zhaohua could hear the unapproachable strength in her words.
Ji Zhaohua’s eyes flickered slightly.
At a time when they were surrounded by threats, the safest approach for the He family should be to be diplomatic.
He had already extended the olive branch, and he couldn’t believe she couldn’t understand his implication.
He wasn’t greedy; he just wanted one gambling license, and he even said that after obtaining it, he could possibly cooperate with the He family.
He believed that under the circumstances, this offer was generous enough for the He family.
But she didn’t take the bait.
Could it be that something unforeseen had occurred that he wasn’t aware of?
"Aunt Lan, the auction for the gambling licenses is about to start. How many do you plan to keep for the He Family?" Jiang Chen and Lan Peizhi walked together.
"You’re asking the wrong person." Chao Ge smiled.
He had to admit, once he took off those cumbersome glasses, he indeed looked dignified and noble, attracting the glances of many young ladies and matrons at the scene.
"Is Brother Jiang not here yet? After all, the He Family is still the landowner of Haojiang. He wouldn’t be so discourteous, would he?" Lan Peizhi didn’t continue, but instead asked a question, "I heard that someone sent you a gift the other day?"
Chao Ge’s smile was graceful as he nodded. "Mmm, I don’t know who it was, but they indeed gave me quite the surprise."
"Not everyone plays by the rules, and there are quite a few foreign guests here in Haojiang this time. You should be more vigilant." "Thanks for your concern, Aunt Lan."
Chao Ge looked to his right.
Where his gaze fell, Miss Vela was sampling some exquisite desserts, with He Junru keeping her company. "Miss Vela, those two who had contact with the Yanbian Killer have been killed."
As the host, he naturally had to give an account of the assassination. No matter the outcome, they had to inform the other party.
"Mmm, I killed them." Vela nodded.
He Junru was taken aback.
Vela then flashed a brilliant smile, "Just kidding, I’ve heard about it."
He Junru also laughed, taking it as a joke.
"Those two being killed breaks the chain of clues. It’ll be difficult to continue the investigation."
Vela nodded nonchalantly, "It’s been tough."
He Junru smiled and changed the subject, "Mr. Jiang? Hasn’t he come with you?"
"He said he was changing clothes and asked me to come first. Who knew men could be so troublesome."
He Junru smiled wanly, "The hour is getting late; Mr. Jiang should have arrived by now. Maybe Miss Vela should call to see if we need to send someone to pick him up?"
"I’ll ask."
It was at this moment that He Junru suddenly noticed several security personnel hurrying in from outside, heading towards Mrs. He.
On the other side of the courtyard.
Yi Hui, the birthday star of the day, had just finished receiving blessings from a few local heiresses when An Le approached.
Several young ladies looked at them teasingly and left, understanding they needed privacy, "You two talk."
"I hope I’m not intruding?"
Mr. Guo asked an all-too-obvious question.
Yi Hui, elegant, dignified, and mesmerizingly beautiful, smiled slightly, "What do you think?"
An Le coughed lightly, though not awkwardly. Despite lacking similar experiences, he understood that persistence was a requisite in pursuing a girl.
He looked her over and sincerely marveled, "You look really beautiful today."
However, when his gaze fell on the pair of Chanel high heels at her feet, An Le frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that these heels might just be the pair that he saw when he went to find her on the street some time ago. More exactly, those shoes had been carried by a man called Jiang Chen.
Of course. At that time, the shoes were inside a box and covered with a bag. He didn’t have x-ray vision to see the design, but he strangely had that feeling. Do men also have a sixth sense?
Just as An Le was about to lift his head and speak, Junru suddenly approached with a somewhat odd expression. "Excuse me for a moment."
An Le smiled, gesturing it was fine,
Junru walked up to Yi Hui, her expression slightly serious, "The bodyguards just reported that there was a car accident on the road up the mountain."
Her voice wasn’t lowered much, so An Le heard every word clearly. He involuntarily looked towards Junru.
Yi Hui turned her head.
"Geng Long has fallen into the sea."
"Junru, are you saying Geng Long?!" An Le was shocked.
Junru nodded, looking at Yi Hui and continued, "The person in the car accident with him was Jiang Chen. After the incident, Jiang called the police and is currently returning to make a statement."
