205: Chapter 205: Master’s Arrogance 205: Chapter 205: Master’s Arrogance At this moment, Su He’s phone vibrated.
She took it out and glanced at it; it was from Jiang Yan.
Calling her at this time, could it mean the issue was resolved?
“Hello, have you handled it?” she asked.
Jiang Yan responded, “No.”
“Then why are you calling me?”
“I just wanted to hear your voice, I miss you.”
Su He was speechless.
“…”
Hadn’t they been apart for just a short while?
This man was truly affectionate without regard for the situation.
Sitting next to Jiang Yan, Helian Lu, hearing what Jiang Yan said, got goosebumps.
He really was a two-faced person, extremely gentle with Su He, speaking in tones that made him uncomfortable.
Su He’s perspective could clearly see everything happening inside the church, and she spotted a hurried figure moving towards the direction of the explosion.
Su He asked the man on the phone: “What exactly did you blow up of his?”
Observing Si Jinchuan’s footsteps, it seemed as though he’d wish his feet to sprout wings and fly there.
She didn’t believe that Jiang Yan had merely blown up a few of Si Jinchuan’s locations; there must be more to it.
Jiang Yan said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing much, just his underground laboratory, and what’s inside is a contribution to the country.”
Though he hadn’t specified, she had a rough guess.
Not to mention the value of the contents, just the equipment in the underground laboratory alone must have cost a fortune.
No wonder Si Jinchuan was in such a rush.
But to her surprise, Si Jinchuan would even touch these things.
On the other side.
When Si Jinchuan arrived, he saw nothing but utter devastation.
The assistant, seeing his gloomy expression, felt a chill down his spine and trembled.
“Mas…
Master, it’s a fault on our part.”
Si Jinchuan’s dark eyes, as if soaked in a cold pond, chilled to the bone.
His voice was low and harsh, like a devil’s from Hell, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
“You indeed failed in your duties, not just failed but deserve death, making such a low-level mistake, allowing someone to bring things inside!
What use do I have for you!”
Everyone shuddered, not daring to utter a sound.
Si Jinchuan had not expected Jiang Yan’s reach to be so extensive, and moreover, undetected.
“Master, what should we do next?” the assistant asked.
Because Si Jinchuan had not yet ordered any action against Jiang Yan and others.
The man asked gravely, “Did you find her?”
The assistant replied, “No, master, we haven’t found her yet; we’ve searched the entire church.
She seems to have vanished into thin air.”
The man frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes, “As long as she hasn’t left here, keep searching!”
The assistant nodded upon hearing this, “Yes, master.”
Although he didn’t know why his master was so determined to find that woman, he didn’t dare to ask more.
…
Outside the lounge.
The bodyguards guarding Jiang Yan and Helian Lu were knocked out by Jiang Feng and Ah Gui, who appeared from nowhere.
Then, Ye Jiuqing’s tall figure appeared.
He strode in with his long legs, glanced at the two sitting there, and clicked his tongue, “So useless, here I am to rescue.”
Jiang Feng and Ah Gui standing behind him: “…”
Jiang Feng wanted to say, “No need for you, I could have handled it myself.”
Ah Gui thought that their master seemed a bit deserving of a beating.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan just glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
But Helian Lu would not indulge him, rolling his eyes and saying, “You really deserve a beating, you don’t even ask if we need rescuing.
We follow the gentleman’s way, using words instead of force, unlike you who is so violent and crude.”
Ye Jiuqing clicked his tongue: “Bullshit gentleman’s way, you’re just incompetent.”
Helian Lu was speechless: “…”
Talking to this idiot, one couldn’t use normal reasoning or else they’d be infuriated to death.
“Fine, fine,” Helian Lu waved his hand, “I won’t argue with you, whatever you say goes.”
After that, Ye Jiuqing no longer looked at him, but turned to Jiang Yan, demanding, “Where is Su He?
I’ve searched the entire church and haven’t found her.”
Jiang Yan turned his gaze back to him, his eyebrows slightly raised, “Didn’t she tell you?”
Before Ye Jiuqing could speak, the man smirked slightly, adding, “Since she didn’t tell you, naturally I won’t either.
Moreover, she’s my wife, why are you coming to me asking about my wife?
Isn’t that a bit too much?”
That smirk made Ye Jiuqing feel irked, this guy was clearly mocking him and flaunting.
Helian Lu was puzzled, had Su He disappeared?
Wait, hadn’t they just been on the phone?
And judging from Jiang Yan’s words just now, Su He should still be around; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that line “You stay put there and wait for me to pick you up, don’t run around again.”
“Exactly, Old Ye, we all know you like Su He, but in front of her legitimate husband, you should restrain your feelings,” Helian Lu couldn’t help but tease, “I know you have thick skin, but showing a bit of restraint won’t hurt.”
Ye Jiuqing’s sharp gaze swept over him: “Shut up!”
Helian Lu refused to shut up: “I’m not mute, why should I shut up?
Besides, not speaking makes me uncomfortable, are you going to compensate me for my discomfort?
If you’re willing to compensate me for my loss, I might choose to be mute for once.”
…
As the two were bantering, Si Jinchuan returned.
All three men in the room looked at him.
At that moment, they gave Si Jinchuan the impression that they were all in cahoots.
Somehow, he felt like he was inviting the wolf into the house.
Dealing with Jiang Yan, one wolf, was enough, but there were two more.
Moreover, these two people, he just couldn’t act against them.
“Yo, President Si, back so soon?
Is it handled?” Jiang Yan greeted mockingly.
Si Jinchuan furrowed his brows and swept a glance over the three of them.
Ye Jiuqing, when Si Jinchuan looked at him, said, “Don’t look at me that way; today’s incident has nothing to do with me; it was entirely his personal act,” pointing at Jiang Yan.
Then he added, “We can still collaborate.”
Si Jinchuan slightly squinted his deep eyes.
“Young Master Ye, when you sent someone to mess with our Xuanqing Branch, did you think we could still collaborate one day?”
After Jiang Yan was injured in Country Y, the Xuanqing Branch mysteriously came under attack, all orchestrated secretly by Ye Jiuqing.
He wasn’t unaware, just too indifferent to bother.
Seeing him speaking so directly, Ye Jiuqing didn’t feel awkward.
He said quite casually, “We say, there’s no acquaintance without fighting, and besides, you and I don’t have deep hatred, there’s still a chance for cooperation.
I personally think highly of President Si’s courage.”
Si Jinchuan: “…”
What cursed courage!
Ye Jiuqing isn’t a good person either; his mind is extremely heavy.
On the surface one story, behind the scenes another, it’s their daily routine.
It was indeed his oversight today, and he underestimated his opponent.
Si Jinchuan did not continue to engage with Ye Jiuqing, his dark eyes shifted to Jiang Yan.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he tried to calm himself down, and he said, “Jiang Yan, tell me, what exactly do you want?”
Only then did Jiang Yan slightly lift his eyelids, raising his eyebrows, and said half-jokingly, “I don’t want anything special, just wondering if President Si is willing to try the feeling of being crushed under the ruins.”
His words were very light, as if he was asking, “Have you eaten today?”
His words made everyone present stunned.
In terms of ruthlessness, Jiang Yan is more ruthless; if others make him suffer a ten percent loss, he returns it a hundred, even a thousand times.
And he did it so overtly.
He then said, “President Si, I’m already giving you face by doing this openly, it’s giving you a chance.”
“If I were also using underhanded tricks, you probably wouldn’t be standing here.”
Si Jinchuan: “…”
Ye Jiuqing always thought he was arrogant enough, but it turned out, there was someone even more arrogant than him.
Listen to that tone, hear those words, enough to make someone furious…
Si Jinchuan was silent for a while before saying, “President Jiang, I’m sure you still want something else, just say it directly.”
This was the result he had come up with after much thought.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble in front of him; he definitely wanted to take something from him.
Jiang Yan’s deep eyes glanced at him, he was right, he indeed wanted to take something from him.
No, two people.
But Jiang Yan did not rush to say it, instead he asked, “President Si, if I mention it, are you sure you are willing to let them go?”
Hearing this, Si Jinchuan’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Jiang Yan’s words seemed ordinary, but in fact, they were full of traps, making it hard for anyone to agree easily.
It depends on what he would ask for, whether he is willing to let go or not.
He did not speak, Jiang Yan was not in a hurry, casually sitting there waiting, after all, he had time, just didn’t know if that young woman would become impatient.
Finally, Si Jinchuan reluctantly opened his mouth and said, “President Jiang, just say it, anything within my power, I will agree to.”
Then, Jiang Yan said, “Did you record that?”
The few people present were dumbfounded.
And Jiang Feng said, “Master, it’s recorded.”
“Don’t look at me like that, this is just for keeping evidence,” Jiang Yan said, looking at Si Jinchuan.
Si Jinchuan now felt like someone had a grip on his vitals, he could only let him do as he wished.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yan continued, “I just want to ask President Si for two people, this should be easy for you to handle.”
His words had just finished when Si Jinchuan already had an answer.
But he still feigned ignorance and asked, “Who?”
Jiang Yan hooked his thin lips, his voice dark and steady: “One is called Chi Tian, the other is Zhuo Lie.”
“I think these two people should be familiar to President Si, right?”
Chi Tian had already been captured by them, but Zhuo Lie could change his appearance, and he was too cunning; his people had never been able to find his whereabouts, so he took this opportunity to let Si Jinchuan hand him over.
But he couldn’t just mention one name, especially since Si Jinchuan was not yet aware of Chi Tian being in his hands.
Ye Jiuqing naturally knew what Chi Tian and Zhuo Lie meant to Si Jinchuan, just when he thought Si Jinchuan would never agree, he actually did.
“Alright, these two men, I can give them to you,” said Si Jinchuan.
Jiang Yan heard the answer he wanted to hear, then stood up from the sofa and immediately raised his hand to flick off the wrinkles on his clothes.
He said, “Alright, then I’ll give President Si another day’s time.
I’m not that stingy to force you to hand them over right now.”
He said this very generously and with consideration for others.
“…”
Ye Jiuqing and Helian Lu were left speechless by his antics.
Honestly, this church was Si Jinchuan’s territory, both of them wouldn’t dare to be so bold, but Jiang Yan acted as if he was in his own home, utterly fearless.
After speaking, Jiang Yan then turned and walked towards the door.
As he passed by Si Jinchuan, he politely asked, “President Si, may we leave now?”
Si Jinchuan’s temples twitched slightly, a peculiar flash crossing his eyes, then a faint smile appeared on his lips: “Naturally.”
He was still shaken by the three loud bangs just before, and truly feared that the next second he would order another move.
Jiang Yan was able to sneak explosives in without anyone noticing, that was already beyond his imagination.
The church’s security system was not low, yet his people hadn’t detected any abnormalities in advance.
Seeing Jiang Yan leaving, Helian Lu also stood up and left.
The main character walked away, and he, who came to watch the drama, when else would he wait to leave?
Ye Jiuqing also left after that.
Suddenly, the entire room only had Si Jinchuan left.
Originally, today should have been a good day for playing cards, but suddenly a Jiang Yan appeared and messed up all his plans.
Then, the assistant came in.
“Master, are you really just going to let them go?”
Si Jinchuan’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold as ice: “Not let go, do you want to collect corpses for me later?”
The assistant was frightened, his lips trembling.
He instantly lowered his head, not daring to speak anymore.
Their master had only suffered a loss at the hands of the Si Family before, and had never suffered such a set-back like today ever since.
Si Jinchuan clenched his fists tightly, then relaxed them again.
Sometimes, after extreme anger, it turned into even greater calm.
Jiang Yan’s actions today, besides avenging the previous injury inflicted by Xuanqing’s people, was also a warning to him, and ultimately, he came for Chi Tian and Zhuo Lie.
Chi Tian and Zhuo Lie had too many secrets on them, although he trusted these two, but once they fell into Jiang Yan’s hands, it was just a matter of time for certain matters.
“Go, have Zhuo Lie come see me!”
“Yes, master.”
On the other side.
After Jiang Yan left, he went straight to the church’s rooftop.
“What is he doing on the rooftop?” Helian Lu asked, “Is he going moon-watching?”
Ye Jiuqing gave him a glance: “…Are you brain-dead, or blind?
It’s not even dark yet, what moon is there to watch!”
Driven by curiosity, they still followed him up.
Just as Jiang Yan and his group were heading to the rooftop, Si Jinchuan heard from his subordinates that Situ Yuan was in danger, she was tied to a column on the rooftop railing.
