Chapter 502: Chapter 460: Want to Get Engaged to Qin Jingchen

Jiang Zhe spent an entire afternoon in Jiang Xi’s room.

It was not until dusk fell and the night drew close that she looked out the window, saw it wrapped in thick darkness, and finally stood up.

When she went downstairs, the old Mistress Jiang beamed and called out, "Xiaozhe!"

Jiang Zhe walked towards her.

...

Zhuo Jinman was very wary of Beifeng.

"Check how Qin Jingchen managed to disguise himself as an instructor and infiltrate the military. The military having such a loophole, although minor, is enough to prove a severe infiltration!"

Zhuo Jinman had an uncomfortable premonition about Qin Jingchen being able to disguise himself as an instructor from the Beicheng Continent and stay by Jiang Zhe’s side.

The investigation report was delivered promptly.

Zhuo Jinman flipped through it while frowning, "This person, originally named Liang Chang, just happened to fall ill before the military training and applied for leave to go back to his hometown?"

"Yes, that’s what the report shows. His illness was quite serious at the time, and he kept reporting to the military. But it was all intercepted by Qin Jingchen. That’s why Qin Jingchen was using his identity, and no one noticed anything unusual. Here is the medical report of Liang Chang himself. After Qin Jingchen took his identity, he became an instructor and followed the tradition of instructors over the years by taking a codename, which is Beifeng."

Zhuo Jinman looked through it in detail and found no obvious loopholes.

It appeared that Qin Jingchen did not employ any particularly clever methods; he simply used Liang Chang’s personal information to get close to Jiang Zhe.

Though it was a minor loophole, it still irked Zhuo Jinman significantly.

She said, "Erase this matter."

Assistant Xu understood that the smaller the issue that got out, the more it exposed the military’s incompetence.

"I’ll erase it right away."

...

Beicheng Continent.

A high-end private club.

Qin Jingchen sat on the sofa, holding a teacup with a slight frown on his brow.

A moment later, a sound came from the door of the private room as he looked up to see a waiter leading Elder Fang and Fang Jun in.

Seeing Fang Jun, he revealed an ambiguous smile.

Fang Jun was infected by his smile and couldn’t help but grin, secretly delighted to see that Qin Jingchen appeared to be fond of her.

"Master Qin, it’s an honor," Elder Fang said with a smile, "This is my daughter, Fang Jun."

"Elder Fang, Miss Fang," Qin Jingchen shook hands with Elder Fang, "Please, have a seat."

Elder Fang noticed that though it was he who had arranged the meeting, Qin Jingchen seemed to be taking charge; the rumors that Qin Jingchen was always aloof seemed to be true indeed.

Fang Jun’s eyes were fixed on Qin Jingchen, her face unable to hide her smile.

Elder Fang said with a smile, "We invited Master Qin today because we heard you arrived in the Beicheng Continent, and we wanted to extend our hospitality..."

Qin Jingchen gestured with his hand, and the waiter immediately poured tea for Elder Fang and Fang Jun.

After the waiter left, Qin Jingchen finally spoke up, "Elder Fang, if you have something to say, feel free to speak frankly."

"Master Qin is a straightforward person! I’ll get right to the point then! I know you do not have a marriage partner yet, and my daughter is of a similar age to you, so I took the liberty of trying to match you two. Don’t think I’m too forward, Master Qin— I’ve always been aware of your exceptional abilities and hold great admiration for you, which is why I made this decision. As for Fang Jun, she’s also well-known on the Beicheng Continent as a woman of talent. I believe with the Fang Family’s background, we wouldn’t disgrace you. Please consider this matter, Master Qin."

Elder Fang was direct, observing Qin Jingchen’s reaction.

Qin Jingchen had always been sipping his tea at a leisurely pace, remaining composed, maintaining his consistent propriety, with no change in his expression visible on his face, making it difficult for others to grasp his thoughts.

Elder Fang did not show any fear either, he picked up his teacup and slowly began to savor the tea as well.

It was then that Qin Jingchen spoke in a gentle tone, "As far as I know, Elder Fang has been cooperating with Qin Kuo?"

Seeing that he could not deceive Qin Jingchen’s perceptive eyes, Elder Fang admitted frankly, "Qin Kuo’s cooperation with Zhuo Jinman is much closer, and mine is just an acquaintance."

"Elder Fang’s relationship with Dr. Zhuo is surely more than just an acquaintance, isn’t it?"

Realizing that everything was under Qin Jingchen’s control, Elder Fang said, "I won’t hide it from you, our relationship with the Zhuo Family is indeed good. But people must consider their own interests, right, Lord Qin?"

Zhuo Jinman’s ambition was great, and many of the things she did secretly with Qin Kuo were kept from Elder Fang.

Naturally, Elder Fang was not willing to be controlled by them, which is why he had thought of this method.

Over the years, the relationships among everyone involved cooperative as well as restraining factors, ensuring that no single family would dominate.

Qin Jingchen chuckled softly, "Indeed, every man for himself, or face annihilation from heaven and earth."

Elder Fang, seeing that he was moved, knew that Qin Jingchen was also tempted.

Among the major families of the Beicheng Continent, they have always been prime targets for alliances with other nations.

With medical and technological advancements superior to other regions, Beicheng Continent’s strength was certainly not to be underestimated.

However, each family in Beicheng Continent did not wish to follow in the footsteps of the Jiang Family, to be isolated and sans support in times of need; hence, they have set aside their absolute pride from the previous years. As long as the terms are solid, they do not mind collaborating.

This was the reason for Zhuo Jinman’s close cooperation with Qin Kuo, as well as why Elder Fang set his sights on Qin Jingchen.

Elder Fang laughed and said, "Ha ha, Lord Qin is also a man of sentiments, to my liking. Come, Junjun, let’s drink this tea in place of wine, as a toast to Lord Qin."

"Lord Qin, Junjun offers you a cup," Fang Jun said with a smile.

However, Qin Jingchen did not pick up his teacup, but merely said indifferently, "No rush, we can drink after the matter is settled."

His tone was as mild as ever, but inexplicably evoked a sense of aloofness.

Fang Jun always felt that she had experienced such a feeling somewhere before, but she could not quite pinpoint where exactly.

She had always been the pride of the Fang Family, prized for her status. In Beicheng Continent, almost no one dared to treat her with anything but deference.

The only one she had encountered like that was Jiang Zhe...

The thought of Jiang Zhe sent Fang Jun’s spirits plummeting into a trough.

"Alright, no rush. Then let us wait until our matter is resolved," Elder Fang said, following Qin Jingchen’s lead.

Fang Jun had no choice but to put down her teacup for the time being.

"So, where is Fen Ye now?" inquired Qin Jingchen.

Elder Fang had contacted Qin Jingchen using Fen Ye as the reason.

Previously, when Qin Jingchen and Fen Ye came to Beicheng Continent, their whereabouts were monitored by Qin Kuo and Zhuo Jinman.

Soon after, the two were taken away.

Qin Jingchen quickly escaped from danger, but Fen Ye was left behind by Zhuo Jinman.

Since then, Fen Ye had been with Zhuo Jinman.

Elder Fang knew the importance of Fen Ye to Qin Jingchen, which was why he had used this as leverage, wanting to reach a cooperation with Qin Jingchen.

"Fen Ye? He is being treated as a guest in Beicheng Continent, surely being well looked after. But as you know, Dr. Zhuo is quite reluctant to let Fen Ye leave. If Lord Qin becomes my ally, I could persuade Dr. Zhuo to bring Fen Ye over to you."
