The night was deep.
Outside the Emperor's Club's VIP room, Jiang Shaolong took a deep breath, his expression somewhat anxious.
The beautiful server who brought him here knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door was pulled open from the inside, revealing a familiar face.
Yuan Liangping looked at Jiang Shaolong with a gentle smile, then shook his hand, saying enthusiastically, "Shaolong is here, quickly, come in!"
Jiang Shaolong felt flattered and quickly bowed, saying, "I dare not, Young Master Yuan is too kind. I should have come to thank you and Young Master Xu."
"If not for your help, I don't know what my situation would be now!"
Yuan Liangping waved his hand, pulling Jiang Shaolong to sit down, and said with a smile, "Ah, Shaolong, you're too polite."
At this moment, Yuan Fangfei, wearing a black long dress and a fiery figure, smiled and said, "Shaolong, saving you was Old Master Chen's intention in the capital. My Liangping was merely carrying out orders!"
"And who is this?"
Jiang Shaolong was somewhat stunned by the graceful and charming Yuan Fangfei.
"This is my elder sister!" Yuan Liangping introduced with a smile.
"Miss Yuan!" Jiang Shaolong dared not be negligent and quickly stood up.
Yuan Fangfei winked at Chen Fan and smiled charmingly, "Shaolong, there's no need to be so formal. Your wife and I hit it off immediately, and we are good friends. We are all friends, so just call each other by name."
Jiang Shaolong felt that this brother and sister truly embodied the demeanor of a noble family, their conversation and bearing making them approachable.
However, he still felt uneasy and nervous.
That night, he believed Su Yingxia had betrayed him, and coupled with the psychological distortion after being locked in the dark room, he had committed violence against Su Yingxia.
Yuan Liangping happened to call Su Yingxia and warned him, which made him much more sober.
Therefore, his feelings towards Yuan Liangping were complex, a mix of resentment, fear, and a desire to curry favor.
It was with this complex mindset that he received Yuan Liangping's invitation.
Surprisingly, Yuan Liangping did not invite Su Yingxia but invited him alone.
As such, his unease and confusion could only be imagined.
"Shaolong, I think there's been some misunderstanding between us!"
Yuan Liangping personally poured tea for Jiang Shaolong and said, "If this has caused any trouble for you and Miss Su, I apologize!"
Jiang Shaolong was taken aback.
This was beyond his expectations.
"I dare not!" he quickly replied, feeling somewhat flattered.
"That day, I did arrange to meet Miss Su," Yuan Liangping continued to explain. "The dress and jewelry were all prepared for the banquet, but I had no other intentions. My relationship with Miss Su is open and upright. I simply wanted Miss Su to be the center of attention at the banquet and then introduce her to everyone!"
He paused and continued, "She has an unusual relationship with Old Master Chen in the capital. It was she who sought help from Old Master Chen, which allowed you to escape from the Raptor Squad!"
Jiang Shaolong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
If what Yuan Liangping said became a reality, it would be a huge opportunity for him!
With the mention of Old Master Chen, Su Yingxia could easily become the focus of the banquet and be sought after by countless celebrities and wealthy individuals.
Even if he, as her husband, lost face, what did it matter?
For a moment, he felt a pang of regret.
Yuan Liangping also pretended to sigh, "I didn't expect it to be ruined in the end, and Miss Su and you were unable to attend the banquet."
He even shook his head with a pained expression.
Jiang Shaolong felt deep regret.
In fact, he had started regretting it the very next day.
After careful consideration, even if Su Yingxia and Yuan Liangping had an unclear relationship, he could tolerate it, as long as he gained benefits from Yuan Liangping, the young master of Jiangbei.
When he married Su Yingxia, wasn't it precisely for the benefits the Su family and Old Master Chen's connection could bring to the Jiang family?
Yuan Liangping observed Jiang Shaolong's reaction and felt even more contemptuous. He signaled to Yuan Fangfei.
Yuan Fangfei, understanding, immediately took out a stack of documents from a briefcase and placed them in front of Jiang Shaolong.
"My Liangping feels very apologetic for causing discord between you and your wife!" Yuan Fangfei leaned in close to Jiang Shaolong and said in a seductive voice, "This is a project contract that our Yuan family is collaborating on with the Zhou family. The project cost is five hundred million."
Jiang Shaolong's breathing quickened slightly. He looked up, and Yuan Fangfei's face was within inches of his.
He felt a bit disoriented. Although he was impotent, he still had desires for women, but he was no longer capable.
"This is a small compensation for you and Madam Su. I heard you were married not long ago, so consider it a wedding gift," Yuan Liangping said leisurely.
"Young Master Yuan, you, are you really giving me this project?"
Jiang Shaolong asked excitedly.
The project cost was five hundred million, with profits surely no less than fifty million.
This gift was not insignificant.
"Of course!"
Yuan Fangfei placed her hand on Jiang Shaolong's shoulder and giggled, "We should be friends, not only because of Miss Su and Old Master Chen's relationship, but also because we have the same enemy!"
After a moment of silence, deep hatred appeared in Jiang Shaolong's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Miss Yuan, are you referring to Chen Fan?"
The auction the previous night had caused a stir in Hangjiang. The Jiang family was, after all, a second-tier family in Hangjiang, so his news wouldn't be so blocked as to be unaware of the auction.
Hearing that Chen Fan had spent a billion to acquire the "Ping An Tie," Jiang Shaolong was shocked and resentful.
"Yes!" Yuan Liangping nodded. "I heard Chen Fan is Miss Su's ex-husband and has a deep feud with you?"
Jiang Shaolong gritted his teeth and said, "I wish I could tear him into a thousand pieces!"
"So do I!" Yuan Liangping also revealed his hatred. "On this matter, I need Young Master Shaolong's help!"
Jiang Shaolong became wary and asked, "What can I do to help Young Master Yuan?"
"You're still calling me Young Master Yuan? We are friends. I hope we can become brothers!"
Yuan Liangping feigned displeasure.
Jiang Shaolong was incredibly excited.
Being able to be brothers with Yuan Liangping, the young master of Jiangbei, meant he couldn't possibly fail!
The Jiang family, was it finally time for their struggles to end?
"Then Shaolong will be honored. I'll call you Brother Yuan!" Jiang Shaolong said. "Actually, I've wanted to get rid of Chen Fan for a long time, but he's always had the support of the mysterious villa owner behind him, so I could never do anything to him."
"Now I know that mysterious villa owner is Mr. Long."
"That useless Chen Fan is simply lucky to have hitched himself to a big shot like Mr. Long!"
"That's why I need the help of my younger brother Shaolong!" Yuan Liangping said menacingly. "That Chen Fan is ultimately just a dog of Mr. Long, someone I can crush with one hand."
"But as the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you must consider its owner. Considering Mr. Long's status and influence, I'll have Young Master Xu return to the capital to explain to Old Master Chen. Combined with your wife Miss Su's plea, Old Master will naturally speak, and Mr. Long won't dare to refuse!"
Jiang Shaolong's heart was greatly moved.
Chen Fan's reliance was merely that Mr. Long. With Yuan Liangping's arrangement, how could Chen Fan, a useless live-in son-in-law, possibly resist the combined efforts of himself and Yuan Liangping?
"Brother Yuan, what can I do?" Jiang Shaolong asked anxiously.
"As the saying goes, leave professional matters to professionals," Yuan Liangping said with a smile. "I will hire the most professional and top-tier assassin!"
"Mm!"
Jiang Shaolong nodded.
"However, I'm not very familiar with Hangjiang. I need someone who can understand Chen Fan and track his movements to assist me." Yuan Liangping's eyes darted around. "I wonder, Shaolong, are you willing to help me?"
So he wasn't asking himself to kill Chen Fan. Jiang Shaolong was completely relieved and quickly replied, "I will fully cooperate with Brother Yuan." Da Feng Novel Network
Jiang Shaolong's hatred for Chen Fan ran as deep as the sea, and he nodded in agreement almost without thinking.
If Chen Fan wasn't killed, wouldn't the torment in that dark room have been in vain?
From his perspective, with Chen Fan having allied himself with the mysterious Mr. Long, he would only become more difficult to deal with in the future, and he was eager for Chen Fan to disappear from this world.
The two had hit it off immediately, not to mention that Yuan Liangping had offered a contract worth fifty million as a benefit?
Yuan Liangping showed a look of satisfaction and raised his teacup, saying, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation, and let's strive to make that annoying fellow disappear in the shortest possible time!"
"Shaolong will obey Brother Yuan's every command!"
Jiang Shaolong said with great excitement.
Yuan Liangping, with a seemingly profound smile, said, "The person I've hired will arrive in Hangjiang by the day after tomorrow at the latest. They will contact you then!"
