Chapter 385 - 385 385 Jiang Chen's Miscalculation

385: Chapter 385: Jiang Chen’s Miscalculation 385: Chapter 385: Jiang Chen’s Miscalculation Wanqing was startled by her own thought.

Xu Zhentian was still alive?

It was only her guess!

She thought, since Ji Shang was helping her, or more precisely, was helping her husband, there should be no reason to actually have killed Xu Zhentian, because he knew that killing Xu Zhentian wasn’t helping her husband but was indirectly harming the Su Family.

So, there must be some unknown secret behind this.

Could it be that the Xu Zhentian in the police station wasn’t the real Xu Zhentian?

Beheaded corpse…

Wanqing’s mind raced.

Beheaded, leaving behind a body similar to Xu Zhentian’s could indeed be possible.

A substitution of the prince?

Wanqing laughed.

This was definitely a prince substitution tactic.

The real Xu Zhentian must still be alive, just hidden by that Ling Wei, while the headless corpse in the police station was just a substitute.

Without a head, who would care about his body?

Is this their National Security’s method?

Wanqing felt elated, watching Su Xuan’s handsome face, feeling like she was in a dream.

Was this little rascal really her husband, Wanqing?

Really the little rascal who warmed her bones and meridians every night by placing his hands on her chest?

Wanqing’s beautiful eyes shimmered.

Without him, she probably would have died from her chills a long time ago.

“Wanqing, why are you crying?” asked Su Xuan.

“Did someone bully you?

Tell me, and I’ll avenge you!”

“No one bullied me,” Wanqing brushed away the tears at the corner of her eye and smiled, “I’m just so happy that I couldn’t help but cry.”

“You cry even when you’re happy?” Su Xuan asked goofily.

Wanqing slightly shook her head.

She liked this side of Su Xuan—sometimes foolish and naive, yet sometimes very manly and assertive.

“Wanqing, in your opinion, what should we do now?” Chen Tianwen asked.

“When should we make a move against Jiang Chen?”

“The day after tomorrow at the latest,” Wanqing pondered briefly before responding, “In the next two days, we need to quickly gather more evidence.

I will help as well.

On the morning the day after tomorrow, I’ll turn over the evidence I’ve gathered so we can arrest Jiang Chen!”

“Alright, Wanqing, let’s do as you say,” Chen Tianwen was eager to agree, naturally acquiescing without hesitation.

In the past, the affairs of the Su Family were mostly handled by Su Xuan while Wanqing was only in charge of running Fenghua Group and earning money for the Su Family.

However, in this case, Wanqing’s role was becoming more prominent, as only she could assist.

Chen Tianwen quickly left Fenghua Group, and Wanqing began her actions.

“Husband, can you call Ling Wei for me?” Wanqing asked, “I have something I want to discuss with her.”

“No problem.” Su Xuan took out his phone, found Ling Wei’s number, dialed it, and then handed the phone to Wanqing.

Wanqing took the phone and went straight to the point, “Miss Ling Wei, Xu Zhentian is in your hands…”

A few minutes later, Wanqing returned the phone to Su Xuan, a slight smile curving her lips, “Husband, Xu Zhentian is indeed still alive.”

“Wanqing, why did Ling Wei and the others hide Xu Zhentian?” Su Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

He had heard the conversation during the phone call but still didn’t understand their approach.

Was hiding a person considered fun?

“Husband, it’s a bit complicated to explain this matter, but you’ll naturally understand once we capture Jiang Chen,” Wanqing responded.

Su Xuan nodded slightly, not dwelling on the question any longer, “Wanqing, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”

“Go on, take good care of yourself outside, and remember to call me if you miss me,” Wanqing smiled slightly, advising him.

“Don’t worry, wife,” Su Xuan said cheerily.

…

Emperor Palace Bar.

“Jiang Chen, how did Xu Zhentian die?” Zhang Ziqing asked.

She had heard the news in the morning and immediately rushed to the bar.

She knew that Xu Zhentian’s death was no accident, and she vaguely realized that it might be related to Jiang Chen, or even that Jiang Chen might have done it.

Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Ziqing and then focused back on the glass in his hand, speaking indifferently, “Since you know I did it, why bother asking me?”

Zhang Ziqing was startled.

Despite knowing the answer already, she still couldn’t believe the fact.

“Jiang Chen, have you lost your mind?

Xu Zhentian was your man, you even dare to kill him?” Zhang Ziqing shrieked.

“Does that mean, in the future, you would dare to kill me too?”

Jiang Chen swirled his glass, glanced at Zhang Ziqing, and chuckled lightly, “He knew too much.

If I didn’t kill him and the police found evidence, I would be dead too, and then our Jiang Family would be completely finished.

Do you understand?”

“Then what about your uncle’s head?” Zhang Ziqing felt a chill in her chest, cold to the bone.

If one stood from the perspective of the family, killing Xu Zhentian might be justified.

But why did Jiang Chen not leave Xu Zhentian an intact corpse, instead chopping off his head and turning him into a headless ghost?

That was too cruel, wasn’t it?

“That wasn’t my idea,” Jiang Chen interrupted, his expression turning grim.

He had asked Ji Shang to assassinate his uncle but had not ordered Ji Shang to turn him into a headless ghost.

And now, he hadn’t yet found Ji Shang.

Otherwise, he would definitely have asked him what exactly had happened!

“Not your idea?” Zhang Ziqing’s expression turned suddenly grim.

“So, was it the assassin who killed your uncle’s idea?”

Jiang Chen nodded, saying, “I ordered Ji Shang to assassinate my uncle, but I didn’t instruct him to chop off his head.

What’s infuriating is that I can’t get in touch with him now, otherwise…”

“Otherwise nothing, are you brain-damaged?” Zhang Ziqing suddenly roared.

“You even trust Ji Shang?

Do you know who he really is?

Your order to him to kill Xu Zhentian will kill you!”

Jiang Chen seemed to realize something, his face slightly changing.

He asked, “Ji Shang, is he…”

“He’s with National Security!”

Zhang Ziqing swiftly followed up, her face looking extremely grim as she yelled at Jiang Chen, “I told you earlier not to drive away Azure Dragon so soon, but you didn’t believe me!

Azure Dragon and Ji Shang are not the same; Azure Dragon defected from National Security to help us with no reservations, but Ji Shang is different.

He is the Sky Group Leader of National Security, a rank higher than Azure Dragon.

Now, having him help you assassinate Xu Zhentian is like walking straight into gunfire.

It’s no different from seeking your own death!”

Jiang Chen’s face changed, and he suddenly bellowed, “No, it can’t be, how could I lose to Chen Wanqing?

Haha, Jiang Chen, smart all my life, only to be foolish once.

Ji Shang, oh Ji Shang, National Security?

Sky Group Leader?

To think I was fooled by you!”

Jiang Chen burst into maniacal laughter, finally understanding that driving away Azure Dragon was a terribly wrong move in this chess game.

Chen Wanqing’s mind control was better than his.

In fact, it was all Chen Wanqing’s setup.

If he hadn’t driven away Azure Dragon, Chen Wanqing would have utilized the video from that shoot to gradually move against the Bai Family.

By driving Azure Dragon away, he then had no reliable expert to use by his side.

Indeed, Chen Wanqing’s earlier guesses were all correct.

Azure Dragon was Jiang Chen’s right-hand man; with Azure Dragon, Jiang could kill anyone he wanted, and even if someone held a gun to Azure Dragon’s head, he wouldn’t betray their Bai Family.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen had driven away Azure Dragon, leading to this situation where Jiang Chen was deceived by Ji Shang, giving Ji Shang an opportunity.

Jiang Chen laughed crazily, his laughter tinged with self-mockery.

With his intelligence, he could easily guess Chen Wanqing’s plan at the time.

Regrettably, there were no potions for regret in this world, and for him, there was no turning back.

“Jiang Chen, Chen Wanqing must be connected to National Security, or maybe, it’s Su Xuan who has connections with National Security.

If I’m not wrong, they have already started to make their move against you,” Zhang Ziqing said, her eyes filled with worry.

She asked, “Do you have any plans?

If not, come with me for now.

Once we reach Beijing, no one will dare to touch you.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, a forced smile on his face, “Ziqing, thank you.

I can’t go with you.

This matter isn’t over yet.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ziqing’s face changed.

“You…”

“The Su Family wants me dead.

I refuse to let them have their way.

Since I can’t move against the Su Family, I at least want to make them suffer for a while.

Chen Wanqing, you forced my hand!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed darkly as he tilted his neck back and drained the red wine from his glass.

He then said to Zhang Ziqing, “Ziqing, you should leave.

I can’t drag you down with me.

I will keep your kindness in my heart forever; even if you don’t like me, I have no regrets.

If I die one day, I hope you can still remember what I looked like.”

Zhang Ziqing’s eyes moistened slightly, and she shook her head, “Don’t talk nonsense.

I’ve always considered you a very good friend; I won’t let you die.”

Jiang Chen gave a self-deprecating laugh, reached out, and gently touched Zhang Ziqing’s head, “Ziqing, if I had met you earlier, would the person you like have been me?

Haha…”

“Jiang Chen…” Zhang Ziqing’s voice choked up, “Come with me, please.

When we get to the Xu Family, no one will dare to touch you.

Why must you be so stubborn?”

Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling, “It’s okay, you better leave now.

I’ve already arranged a meeting with Zhao Xiaochuan, albeit using your name.

Right now, he should be waiting for you at the Red Pearl Club.

Go on, I’ll wish you well.”

“Jiang Chen…” Zhang Ziqing wanted to say more, but she swallowed her words, “I…

I’m leaving, take care!”

Jiang Chen didn’t watch Zhang Ziqing leave; after she had gone, he was left alone in the entire bar.

“How quiet it is.” Jiang Chen touched his nose, a trace of a smile on his face, “Is this it then?

Chen Wanqing, it’s just getting started.

Let’s wait and see!”
