(Asking for Monthly Votes!)_2 The place where he settled was found with the help of Lawyer Quan.
The elderly person was from Shenzhou and had married into Korea when young.
Her spouse had passed away many years ago, and her children and grandchildren lived in other areas, leaving her to live alone for a long period, which provided an excellent condition for concealnt.
Because there was no one to talk to, and they were both people from Shenzhou, the elderly woman was very enthusiastic towards Jiang Chen, treating him almost like her own grandson.
After dinner, Jiang Chen helped with the dishes, showing himself to be diligent and polite.
“Young man, you just make yourself at ho here, stay as long as you want.”
The elderly person was increasingly satisfied.
What she needed was not actually the considerable “lodging fee,” what was more important to her was companionship.
Jiang Chen grinned and nodded, when suddenly his phone rang.
“I need to take a call.”
The elderly woman nodded.
Jiang Chen took out his phone and walked out of the house.
The quiet countryside was bathed in warm sunlight, and looking into the distance, all that t the eye was the peaceful rural scenery.
“Mr.
Jiang, are you satisfied with the location?”
It was Lawyer Quan.
“Hmm, how’s the situation now?”
Standing under the eaves, Jiang Chen got straight to the point.
“The police contacted , asking for your whereabouts.
They also wanted to tell you to surrender voluntarily and cooperate with their investigation.”
“What if I don’t cooperate?”
“They implied that if Mr.
Jiang does not surrender voluntarily, they might issue a warrant for your arrest.
They also said that if it truly was self-defense, they would ascertain the facts and not wrong an innocent person.”
Jiang Chen chuckled.
He had been through the police station twice and had a taste of Korea’s judicial system.
Not wrong an innocent person.
Sounded really nice.
But if he truly surrendered voluntarily, the outco would no longer be under his control.
Lawyer Quan heard the laughter and obviously understood the other’s attitude.
“Mr.
Jiang, I share your opinion; appearing now is too risky.
After all, too many people died this ti, and what the police said could rely be a temporary solution.
The place where you are now is at least safe for the ti being; the police certainly won’t find it right away.”
“What about Miss Lan?”
“I don’t have any clear information on Miss Lan’s situation at the mont.
The police’s confidentiality work this ti has been very tight; no news has leaked out.
And since I’m not Miss Lan’s lawyer, I can’t get in touch with her.”
Jiang Chen did not trouble him.
“Okay, I got it.”
“Mr.
Jiang, the police may already be monitoring now.
I might not be able to contact you frequently in the near future.
Take care of yourself.”
“Lawyer Quan, what about Mr.
Gao…”
“Please rest assured about Mr.
Gao, I will take care of it.”
“Thanks.”
Jiang Chen put down his phone and looked down at his injured palm.
The fingers are connected to the heart.
Even now, he could still feel throbbing pain.
But given the situation, the fact that he had survived was already a stroke of incredible luck.
The killer.
Lan Peizhi.
The police.
An Zairong.
…
Jiang Chen tentatively clenched his left hand.
The pain beca clearer.
Jiang Chen’s expression did not change as he looked up and toward the winding stream that skirted the village.
“Dinglingling…”
The phone rang again.
Jiang Chen shifted his gaze, picked up the phone, and checked the caller ID.
“Uncle Shi.”
The caller was none other than Shi Zhenhua.
“Where are you now?”
The other party was blunt, and Jiang Chen did not hide anything.
“I’m in a village near Seoul.”
“Is it safe?”
Shi Zhenhua didn’t beat around the bush.
“For the mont, it should be safe.”
“Are you injured?”
“No.”
“Tell the truth.
Don’t worry, Qian Qian doesn’t know yet, and I won’t tell her either.”
Jiang Chen laughed helplessly.
“Got hurt a bit, not serious, just a slash on the hand.”
“Just a slash?”
“Really.”
Shi Zhenhua fell silent for a mont, then chuckled as though teasing, “No wonder you, kid, always like roaming around alone, not even bringing bodyguards.
You’re indeed quite capable.”
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.
Shi Zhenhua quickly dropped the smile, expecting soone like him to say sothing too mushy was definitely unrealistic.
Without any niceties, Shi Zhenhua’s tone turned serious imdiately.
“This has had a huge impact, the police will likely issue a warrant for you next.
Are you still planning to stay in Korea?”
“Uncle Shi, how is Miss Lan’s situation now?”
Just because the lawyer didn’t know, didn’t an Shi Zhenhua was clueless.
“Are you still in the mood to worry about others?”
Shi Zhenhua rebuked, “Jiang, you need to understand the situation now.
You might be sought by both sides of the law in Korea, and Lan Peizhi is already taken in, no one can protect you now!”
It was clear to see.
The founder of Jinhai Industries was becoming less and less of a stranger to him.
“It’s best for you to leave Korea right now, I’ll arrange it.”
“Uncle Shi, I can’t leave.”
Shi Zhenhua paused, then said in a deep voice, “Have you thought about the consequences?
Korea is not like back ho; if sothing happens…”
Jiang Chen didn’t wait for him to finish his words.
“I’m aware of my situation, but Miss Lan stayed there to create an opportunity for to escape.
Otherwise, with her capabilities, those assassins wouldn’t be able to stop her.”
“Jiang, do you really understand Lan Peizhi?
Do you truly think she would put herself in such a passive situation just for a stranger?”
Jiang Chen fell silent.
From Shi Zhenhua’s point of view, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, and it could even be seen as heartfelt.
But human hearts are the most unpredictable things.
Whether Jiang Chen really didn’t understand Lan Peizhi or it was Shi Zhenhua himself who was unclear remained to be seen.
“Jiang, you better think carefully.
I know you’re young, but now’s not the ti to be impulsive.”
“Uncle Shi, I’ve thought it through, I can’t leave.”
“You…”
Shi Zhenhua’s tone finally revealed a trace of annoyance.
“Uncle Shi, you’re right, I’m young, so I can’t possibly leave my life in Korea.
Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these troubles.”
Shi Zhenhua couldn’t help but laugh.
“Take care?
Tell , how do you plan to ‘take care’ of it?”
Jiang Chen spoke calmly, exuding an unexplainable composure and confidence.
He didn’t answer Shi Zhenhua’s question but instead asked, “Uncle Shi, do you believe in ?”
Shi Zhenhua suddenly fell silent.
The situation had developed far beyond expectations, even Lan Peizhi had been arrested by the police.
Even for him, facing this situation, it would likely be wanting in power.
Where did this young man get such confidence?
Shi Zhenhua’s instinct was to reprimand him for being overconfident, but before the words could leave his throat, he thought of this young man’s “miracles.”
This kid, who had captivated his daughter’s heart, always seed to keep surprising him.
Until now, he felt he hadn’t completely figured out this young man.
The decisive Shi Zhenhua rarely found himself opening his mouth to speak, then hesitating, strangely changing what he was originally going to say.
“Whether I believe in you or not is not important.
What I do know is that Qian Qian’s heart is entirely with you.
That’s why I haven’t told her what happened.”
“Uncle Shi, it’s best not to tell her.
To avoid her worry.
And if she knows, she is likely to make a fuss…”
“I don’t need you to tell that.”
Shi Zhenhua said irritably: “I know my own daughter, am I, her father, not familiar with her?
If she finds out you were nearly killed, she probably won’t even let off.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
“Smile for what?”
Shi Zhenhua exploded with a rare curse, completely out of character for him, but at this mont, it didn’t feel out of place at all.
Jiang Chen stopped smiling.
Shi Zhenhua exhaled.
“Since you’ve thought it through, I won’t try to persuade you anymore.
But Jiang, even for Qian Qian’s sake, you’ve got to take care of yourself.”
Jiang Chen, whose parents were deceased, fell silent for a mont, suddenly experiencing a long-lost warmth.
“Uncle Shi, I definitely won’t make things difficult for you.”
“You kid!”
Shi Zhenhua laughed heartily.
“No wonder Qian Qian fell for you, you’re stronger than I was at your age, gutsy.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
“Alright, go do what you need to do.”
After finishing the call with Shi Zhenhua, Jiang Chen dialed another number.
A few minutes later, he put down the phone, turned, and went back into the house.
“Grandma, are there fish in the river outside the village?”
