189: Plan 189B 189: Plan 189B After obtaining Shi Qianxi’s number, Jiang Chen did not hesitate and quickly dialed it.
A few seconds later, the call was connected, but it was devoid of the pleasant tone that Sun Xiyu had.
“Who is this?”
Although he had only met her once, Jiang Chen vividly remembered the haughty tone of the other party; it was indeed Miss Shi herself.
“Miss Shi, it’s me, Jiang Chen.”
Shi Qianxi was quite astonished, and her tone changed abruptly as she said coldly, “How did you get my number?”
From just one sentence, Jiang Chen was certain that the woman who had paid to break his leg could be none other than this woman.
After all, he had never mentioned his name yesterday, yet this woman was able to identify him immediately, indicating that she had investigated him.
“Miss Shi, you are so well-known in East Sea; getting your phone number shouldn’t be too difficult, should it?”
“What do you want?”
This woman, she even had the audacity to ask him what he wanted?
“Miss Shi, I’ve heard that you’ve offered money for one of my legs?”
Jiang Chen had no time to beat around the bush with her.
“I don’t know what you are talking about!”
Shi Qianxi quickly denied it, but her tone carried a mocking laugh, clearly indicating her involvement.
The ancestors have long said, “Only women and villains are difficult to raise.”
A rational and calm person, not knowing the full extent of their adversary, would definitely not act rashly and provoke a powerful enemy.
But women don’t think that way.
“Miss Shi, my call has no other purpose.
It’s better to resolve enmities rather than prolong them.
The small conflict from yesterday surely doesn’t warrant a life-and-death struggle, don’t you agree?”
“Heh, Mr.
Jiang, are you begging me for mercy?”
Jiang Chen’s attitude remained polite, “Miss Shi, if you’re willing, I think we could become friends.”
“Friends?”
Shi Qianxi ground her teeth, not hiding her hatred at all, “Mr.
Jiang, I, Shi Qianxi, have never suffered the humiliation I did yesterday.
You’ve made me lose all face!
If you want me to let you go, fine.
Bring that despicable woman, and come apologize to me together!
If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll let you off the hook!
Otherwise, you can wait for your next life to spend in a wheelchair!”
One had to admit.
This Miss Shi was a reflection of some of the second-generation wealthy.
They act on a whim, above the law, and never take anyone else seriously, acting solely on their preferences without considering the consequences.
“Mr.
Jiang, I’ll make you pay for your actions yesterday!”
With that, Shi Qianxi ruthlessly hung up the phone.
Jiang Chen was not angry, but rather felt the helplessness of a scholar who cannot reason with a soldier.
Any normal person, considering the wealth he demonstrated yesterday, would at least show some apprehension.
But this woman, Shi Qianxi, was someone who acted without thinking.
Reasoning was futile.
Apologize?
Even more impossible.
What to do?
Jiang Chen’s brows were tightly furrowed as he stood there pondering.
His expression gradually calmed, but a rare, fierce light flickered in his eyes.
Even a clay Buddha has three points of anger, let alone a person.
While walking forward, he picked up his cellphone again and called Bai Haoran.
“Brother Bai, do me a favor and there will be a generous reward afterwards.”
“Young Master Jiang, just say it.”
“I have a number for you.
Can you find a way to monitor the whereabouts of the owner of this number?”
“I can.”
Bai Haoran answered decisively.
“Good, I’ll send you the number in a bit, help me keep an eye on this person.”
“Understood.”
————
For safety reasons, Jiang Chen stayed at school for the next two days.
Those people, as insane as they were, should at least not dare to commit violence in a school.
For this reason.
Shi Qianxi even called to curse at him, calling him a coward, with an arrogance that was through the roof.
Jiang Chen could have used this opportunity to call the police, but it wasn’t necessary.
At most, it would have just meant Shi Qianxi spending some time in a police station sipping tea, which wouldn’t solve the underlying issue at all.
Finally.
On the third night, he received a call from Bai Haoran.
“Jiang Chen, she’s currently at Kowloon Bay watching a car race, without any bodyguards.”
The environment on the other end of the phone was very noisy, besides Bai Haoran’s voice, there were also the roars of racing cars and the excited shouting of the crowd.
The nightlife of the rich’s offspring was indeed splendid and varied.
“I’ll be right there.”
For the past few days, he could only hide in school, while that woman was out enjoying herself.
Jiang Chen said a few words, ended the call, grabbed a jacket, and headed out.
“Jiang Chen, you’re going out this late?”
Li Shao asked.
“Yeah, got some things to handle, won’t be back tonight.”
Jiang Chen put on his jacket, left the dorm, walked out of the school gates, hailed a taxi, and by the time he got to Kowloon Bay, it was nearly ten at night.
A nondescript black Passat was parked by the roadside, at a certain distance from the racing spot.
“Jiang Chen.”
Seeing Jiang Chen approaching, Bai Haoran quickly got out of the car to meet him.
Apart from him, there was a burly driver in the Passat.
“Thanks for the effort.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
“She’s inside.”
Bai Haoran gestured towards the racing spot.
Jiang Chen squinted over there and saw a buzzing crowd, a place alive with excitement, filled to the brim with luxury sports cars and high-spirited young men and women that were seldom seen on ordinary days.
“Rich kids often come here to race for thrills.”
“City races are allowed?”
“Of course not, but the police can’t get to them; sometimes, to prevent chaos, they even help block the roads in advance.”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
“These past two days she’s been staying at the Hilton hotel, typically waking up in the afternoon and not returning until the early hours of the morning.”
The life of the wealthy was indeed enviable.
“Let’s wait in the car.”
Jiang Chen looked away and got into the car with Bai Haoran.
Time ticked by.
Finally, with the loud roar of engines, one car after another raced back furiously, the atmosphere growing even more fervent.
Bai Haoran was a true professional, handing Jiang Chen a night-vision binoculars fully prepared.
Jiang Chen took it and looked through it, quickly spotting Miss Shi, her face flushed with excitement, coming down from the passenger seat of a modified GTR, clearly exhilarated by the race she had just participated in.
Jiang Chen moved the binoculars deliberately to check out the GTR’s owner and it was indeed not Sun Xiyu.
At this moment, he wondered what effect it would have if he called Sun Xiyu?
After all, this woman was his fiancée, and here she was, partying with another man in the middle of the night – what a sight.
But soon, Jiang Chen extinguished that thought.
He was not a person who enjoyed stirring trouble.
Besides, if Sun Xiyu had been capable of controlling his fiancée, they probably wouldn’t be in this situation today.
“Bai, has she been staying at the hotel alone these two days?”
Jiang Chen slowly put down the binoculars, and as he watched the scene before him, he began to consider a possibly viable Plan B.
