Capítulo 1841: Chapter 1217: The Bearing of an Old Friend
“Ti duration theory?”
Jiang Chen truly hadn’t heard of it.
“For so, a few years of acquaintance might not compare to a few days for others.”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
Was it because Pei Yunxi had gone out?
“Regardless of what Mr. Jiang thinks, I feel an imdiate connection with Mr. Jiang.”
More direct.
“Then why doesn’t Boss Du treat with sincerity?”
Four eyes t.
“How does Mr. Jiang want Enqin to be sincere?”
Sothing’s off.
The atmosphere feels off.
The narrative seems to have gone astray.
Jiang Chen didn’t let the misunderstanding persist, after all, Pei Yunxi could return anyti, so he promptly corrected things.
“About the New Year’s Eve terror attack, since Boss Du knew early on, why not give a warning.”
It’s not an accusation.
Just a question.
“Don’t misunderstand, Mr. Jiang, Enqin did not ‘know early on.'”
Du Enqin issued an emphatic statent.
“Moreover, without sufficient evidence on such a big matter, Enqin wouldn’t dare to comnt casually.”
“So does Boss Du have enough evidence now.”
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
“Actually, today Enqin originally wanted to chat with Mr. Jiang.”
Such a sheep in wolf’s clothing.
“Does that an Deputy Officer Wei’s efforts were in vain?”
Jiang Chen teased.
People really are different.
Even with the sa aning, it can evoke completely different feelings when spoken.
“The decision of General Jin to choose him was a mistake after all; his expertise is on the battlefield.”
The more they talked, the more Jiang Chen found the other party intriguing.
This is the art of language.
Not a word said, yet the internal conflicts within the Allied Army were laid bare.
This is truly skillful.
“I don’t think so, Deputy Officer Wei is a master on the battlefield, but that doesn’t an he can only lead soldiers to war. Isn’t there already a clue now?”
Upon hearing this, Du Enqin smiled slightly.
“Does Mr. Jiang think he can find anything?”
“Could it be that the information Boss Du gave him was false?”
“He was about to torture severely, how could I dare not tell the truth.”
There was a faint trace of resentnt in Du Enqin’s tone, which then shifted amusingly: “But others will run; unlike Enqin, foolishly waiting for doom.”
Indeed.
If there really was a problem.
Why didn’t she run?
Therefore, Boss Jiang straightforwardly followed along, curiously yet seriously as if jokingly asked: “Why didn’t Boss Du run?”
Du Enqin’s smile revealed a hint of bitterness.
“Where does Mr. Jiang think I could run to?”
“Boss Du has businesses everywhere in Myanmar, surely not afraid of not finding a place to settle?”
Du Enqin shook her head, eyes unfocused, murmuring to herself like sleep-talking: “A person who has lost their value is like willow fluff in the wind, only waiting for soone to plant it back in the soil. In this regard, Enqin shares the sa plight as Deputy Officer Wei.”
As she spoke, she seed to return to a state of grievance.
“Born of the sa root, why should we hound each other so urgently.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
The influence of hotown culture is vast indeed.
“What kind of wind would it take to blow a person like Boss Du up.”
“Mr. Jiang is joking, compared to Mr. Jiang, a person like is as light as a feather.”
After saying that, Du Enqin’s expression grew solemn.
“Mr. Jiang, regarding the attack on the K.E Factory, I do know so information.”
Without a doubt.
The information in her mouth.
It’s definitely not the sa as what she told Wei Yi, perhaps more comprehensive, or more precise, or else there would be no need for extra efforts.
Just because people are approachable, doesn’t an they should be taken for granted, joking around cos with its price.
As for why not tell Wei Yi directly.
It’s simple.
Why should soone else have the glory?
Your own chips, of course, need to be laid down by your own hand.
“It won’t have anything to do with Boss Du, right?”
Du Enqin shook his head, “Before it happened, I really didn’t know. I only heard about it after the fact, surely later than when Mr. Jiang got the news.”
Jiang Chen remained impassive, “Continue.”
Du Enqin suddenly stopped, gazing at him, holding his breath, focusing.
“I need a guarantee from Mr. Jiang.”
“What guarantee?”
“Guarantee a lifeti of peace.”
A lifeti—of peace.
This is still the hope written in spring couplets hanging at many households’ doorsteps.
Simple and unpretentious.
But coming from soone wealthy and powerful like Du Enqin, it seems quite humorous.
However, Jiang Chen, usually smiling, now erased his smile.
This scenario was no mont to display humor.
Since it wasn’t a joke, such a request from soone who lacks neither money nor status seed humble, even pitiful.
“Alright.”
Jiang Chen nodded without much thought or hesitation.
Perhaps his agreent was too straightforward, causing the other party to be unable to accept it, becoming suspicious.
“Mr. Jiang keeps his word?”
“Didn’t you co to out of trust in ?”
Jiang Chen countered.
Du Enqin bit his lip, presumably finding the matter overwhelmingly significant, not daring to be careless.
I should have let Pei Yunxi stay.
With her, it would prove I wouldn’t lie to a woman.
“If you leave now, it’s still in ti.”
Boss Jiang did not force the issue, being quite understanding, yet it was t with a bitter smile from the other party.
“Can I even leave now? Once I step out, won’t I be tied up, right?”
Logically speaking, that would indeed be the case.
“Then what is Boss Du hesitating about, you seem to have no more choice.”
Jiang Chen didn’t deny it.
Du Enqin let out a foolish smile.
“For people like you, we indeed never had the power to choose.”
This attitude and tone, why does it sound like a virtuous woman being bullied by a tyrant?
Jiang Chen leaned on the sofa, calm and serene.
“My thoughts might differ from Boss Du’s. To , the current state of life is a result of our past choices. The power of choice has always been in our hands.”
Du Enqin remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, with a slight absent-minded smile, “From the first ti we t, I felt Mr. Jiang was different. Mr. Jiang is truly not like the other big n.”
Jiang Chen stayed humble, “How am I different?”
“No big shot would talk so much to us re tools.”
“That’s not your problem.”
Jiang Chen remarked nonchalantly, “That’s a problem with the big shots you’ve encountered.”
Du Enqin sneered, deeply looking at this young person whose depth beca more unique with deeper interaction.
“Just for these words, I’m willing to tell you everything I know.”
“I don’t need you to sign or seal?”
Du Enqin shook his head, seemingly having a sudden epiphany, “Signatures and seals are only effective for business. And business is confined to people with not too distant status. So this isn’t business.”
Jiang Chen seed to find this notion novel, and thus asked, “What is this between us then?”
“If Mr. Jiang is willing, it can count as my pledge of loyalty.”
Jiang Chen smiled, slowly asking, “Aren’t you worried that those big n who helped you before will be unhappy?”
“Does Mr. Jiang think my choice to walk into this room is purely a gamble on Mr. Jiang’s character? Even if I truly believe Mr. Jiang’s character is trustworthy.”
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, “Then what gives you the confidence?”
“Because soone pointed to a clear path. If I want to live, I have to co to Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Chen looked at this mysterious and complex female owner of the Peace Hotel, lost in thought.
“If Mr. Jiang is interested, feel free to guess?”
Jiang Chen lightly smiled, naturally speaking without much thought, “No wonder I see a bit of an old acquaintance in you.”
Du Enqin was astonished, speechless for a long ti, then naively exclaid, “Mr. Jiang is indeed a genius.”
To handle external conflicts, one must first stabilize internally—this strategy has been proven a grave mistake by history.
On the contrary.
Brothers fighting walls yet fending off external insults together is the optimal solution.
Jiang Chen was sowhat introspective too.
Ti favors no one.
No one stays still forever.
“It’s your turn to speak. If you plan to use the hotel’s business report to pass off as genuine, I cannot accept this pledge, please seek opportunities elsewhere.”
