Chapter 467: Chapter 430: Jiang Zhe Just Wants to Send His Regards to His Entire Family_5

The butler quickly retrieved the cell phone and dialed Zhuo Jinman’s number.

Upon seeing the call from the elder Mrs. Jiang, Zhuo Jinman hesitated for a moment.

Although the Jiang Family had fallen from grace, the elder Mrs. Jiang still retained the imposing air from her younger years; fooling her was no easy task.

After giving a few instructions to the people around her, she finally picked up the phone.

The elder Mrs. Jiang’s voice was full and strong on the phone, "Dr. Zhuo, I hear you’ve kept one of our Jiang Family guests? Are you dissatisfied with the way the Jiang Family hosts and have thus taken it upon yourself to extend the hospitality of the Zhuo Family?"

"You jest, elder lady, not at all. It’s just that Mr. Jiang Yaowang has some old ties with me, and since he took the trouble to come to the Beicheng Continent, naturally I wanted to invite him for a meal to catch up. It’s not as serious as you suggest."

"Since it’s just a meal to catch up, I presume it must be about done?" asked the elder Mrs. Jiang.

"Yes, that’s why I’ve already arranged for Mr. Jiang to get on the plane. Don’t believe me? I’ll switch the call to Mr. Jiang, let him speak to you."

The call was transferred to Jiang Yaowang.

Jiang Yaowang didn’t want to deceive the elder Mrs. Jiang with lies, but he also truly didn’t want to worry her. Given her advanced age, even if the young miss were present, she wouldn’t want her to be anxious.

After some thought, he answered the elder Mrs. Jiang as Zhuo Jinman had instructed.

"You’re truly on the airplane already?" the elder Mrs. Jiang inquired.

"Elder lady, would I deceive you? Do you want me to start a video call?" The more Jiang Yaowang said this, the less likely it was that the elder Mrs. Jiang would insist on a video call.

"The Zhuo Family hasn’t mistreated you, have they?" the elder Mrs. Jiang asked.

"Not at all, rest assured. Even if there were any issues, I’d be able to handle them."

Reassured by these words, the elder Mrs. Jiang felt at ease.

The butler added, "Elder lady, there should be no problem now. The Zhuo Family wouldn’t dare trouble Mr. Jiang."

"Forget it, after all this fuss, we’ve probably caused Jiang Yao lots of trouble. In the future, it’s best not to have him return to the Beicheng Continent as much." After all, the elder Mrs. Jiang was advanced in years and not as energetic, so having heard Jiang Yaowang’s own confirmation, she put the matter aside.

...

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhe was still waiting for the helicopter that hadn’t arrived.

Fatty looked up and searched, "What’s the matter? It hasn’t come yet? Master, hurry them again."

Beifeng had already urged them several times.

Jiang Zhe said, "Considering the distance from here to the school, and the precedent of them sending a helicopter to pick up Tang Xinru last time, it should have taken no more than an hour to arrive. Now... it’s been four hours."

"Could it be that they’re not coming at all?" Fatty wondered.

Jiang Zhe frowned.

Without the helicopter coming to pick them up, and with the Skulls around, there was always a significant threat to worry about.

It was not an option to simply kill these people and be done with it.

If their companions were to come for them...

She picked up the walkie-talkie, "What’s going on with you? Where are you?"

"We’re truly on our way," the assistant director said, "It’s gotten dark now, so of course we must slow down. Moreover, we need to find a doctor who can treat gunshot wounds before coming. Don’t worry, we will come."

The assistant director on their end kept stalling for time.

Turning off the communications equipment, he told the staff, "Arrange for a heli that can take only two. Pick up Gu Jiaheng and then another one."

In any case, they couldn’t bring everyone back, especially not Jiang Zhe.

The staff responded, "If it can take two, then it would definitely be Gu Jiaheng and Jiang Zhe."

"Not necessarily, with so many people there, who doesn’t want to leave first? Who would willingly give up their spot to Jiang Zhe?" the assistant director said, well aware of the darker side of human nature.

In the face of life, nobody is that generous.

When Jiang Zhe heard the helicopter overhead, she looked up, relieved that it had finally arrived.

The helicopter drew closer, and a voice came through the walkie-talkie, "We’ll lower the ladder to take Gu Jiaheng away with the doctor. But due to limited space in the helicopter, besides Gu Jiaheng, we can only take one more person. You all need to decide who will leave first. We’ll come back for the others later."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

The assistant director, observing their expressions, knew there was bound to be an argument.

The longer they could delay, the better, as long as they didn’t bring Jiang Zhe back.

Just as the assistant director finished the thought, Beifeng said, "Take Jiang Zhe first."

Xiaobao immediately raised her hand, "I agree, let my idol go first!"

Fatty didn’t hesitate to add, "Yes, let Jiang Zhe go first! We’ll cover the rear!"

Sam Gold, being an outsider, had little say and went with the flow, "Ok, ladies first."

The assistant director: "..."

What happened to the conflict, the darkness of human nature?

Jiang Zhe frowned, glanced at Beifeng, and said, "Since it’s ladies first, let Xiaobao go ahead."

Xiaobao immediately objected, "No, you go. I’m in the military reserves; I must give the chance to live to a civilian! It’s my duty and noble ideal as a military person!"

After speaking, she whispered to Jiang Zhe, "Idol, please, you go ahead! I’ll never serve as a soldier in my life with this height and weight, so let me enjoy this moment, ok? Please, please! I’ll be forever grateful, ready to serve you in any way..."
