720: 560 draws 720: 560 draws “Creak.”
The towering iron gate slowly opened,
before his eyes.
A young man with a clean deanor stood by the car, his smile warm and friendly.
Lan Peizhi, who had enjoyed a unique “vacation” for over half a month, stepped forward.
“Here.”
In such a scene, others might present flowers or share blessings, yet Jiang Chen handed over a knife.
Lan Peizhi reached out and took it.
“Even with special treatnt, the food inside couldn’t have compared to what’s outside.
I’ve made a reservation; let’s go have a al first.”
Without any pomp, Mr.
Jiang, who had co alone to pick him up, gentlemanly opened the car door.
Without a word, Lan Peizhi got into the car.
“Bang.”
Jiang Chen closed the car door and entered from the other side.
Neither of them was in a hurry to talk during the ride.
When the car stopped, Lan Peizhi glanced at the sign of the clubhouse outside.
Myriad Images.
Indeed.
It was the place where Kim Joohyun had almost been violated, and it seed like where everything had begun.
Jiang Chen casually got out of the car,
“Mr.
Jiang, this way, please.”
The service personnel, dressed in suits and shoes, quickly ca over to greet him with the utmost respect.
Jiang Chen acted as if nothing were the matter.
Lan Peizhi also showed nothing unusual.
As if nothing had ever happened, the clubhouse remained splendid and luxurious, with the comings and goings all being distinguished, either rich or noble.
“How did you manage it?”
Once inside the private room, Lan Peizhi finally spoke up.
“Are you referring to Cui Zaiye?”
Jiang Chen simply explained, “He has an illegitimate child who is now in my hands.”
While speaking, he picked up the kettle and began to pour water into a cup.
“What about An Zairong?”
“He’s been sentenced to fifty years.”
Jiang Chen pushed the glass of water forward, volunteering information without being asked, “You might not have imagined, but soone like him actually cared about soone else.”
“By the way.”
As if rembering sothing, Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone, “The assets of Zhumu Society have been confiscated by Goryeo, and I’ve purchased a part of them.
Let know what you think we should do with them.”
Indeed.
Thanks to Zou Kezhao and An Zairong taking all the bla, Lan Peizhi was exonerated and released without charge.
However, the Zhumu Society naturally could not escape forfeiture.
Once the Goryeo governnt took back these assets, they certainly wouldn’t manage them themselves, so Jiang Chen found an opportunity.
Although the Zhumu Society was a thoroughly vile organization, it also had so legitimate business.
Using his connection with General Burton, Jiang Chen offered a “suitable” price and quietly acquired these legal assets.
For all parties involved, it was a win-win situation.
The expense wasn’t significant.
It cost him just over three billion.
Jiang Chen didn’t wish to pay more, as in business there’s no reason for the buyer to raise the price.
However, this financial outlay also eased his relationship with the Goryeo governnt, making Lan Peizhi’s release smoother.
Of course.
He purchased these assets, not for a “bargain hunt,” but to return them to their rightful owner.
Looking at the contracts on his phone, Lan Peizhi showed no emotion, “These are yours to deal with as you see fit.”
To this, Jiang Chen was not surprised.
If she had accepted it that easily, she wouldn’t be Lan Peizhi.
“But I’m unfamiliar with these industries.
How about this: You send soone to take over these businesses, considering it as a technical investnt.
Of course, even though the Goryeo governnt has sold these assets, they will certainly be under strict supervision.
It would be best to operate them legally and ethically.”
Jiang Chen took a sip of water.
Lan Peizhi didn’t smile, nor did she continue on this subject, “This sum of money couldn’t have been enough to sway the Goryeo governnt.”
“Of course not, it’s only tens of billions.
No matter how you look at it, Goryeo is still a developed country.
I know General Burton.”
Jiang Chen said casually.
“General Burton?”
“Yes, the highest commander of the stationed security forces in Goryeo, a very amiable general.”
Lan Peizhi fell silent.
Her lips moved slightly, uncharacteristically hesitating to speak.
It seed Jiang Chen knew what she wanted to ask, “I was introduced by a friend.”
He provided an answer that wasn’t quite an answer.
Given Lan Peizhi’s nature, she naturally didn’t press any further.
“Consider it a favor I owe you.”
Not just anyone can speak such words without weight, even if spoken lightly, a favor from soone like her could not be asured in money.
“Not at all, if it weren’t for you that day in the parking lot, I might well have been lying there.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
Lan Peizhi glanced at him, picked up her cup, and drank without saying more.
Jiang Chen signaled for the waiter.
The dishes were served.
“There was nothing I could do, so I had Mr.
Zou confess first.
In ti, I can arrange for Mr.
Zou’s faked death, finding soone to replace his body, a classic bait-and-switch.”
Jiang Chen shared his thoughts.
Publicly releasing Zou Kezhao was unlikely, but it was not too difficult to extricate him.
Similar tactics are often seen in movies or even in real life, not particularly ingenious, but quite practical.
After all, those in the know are well aware that Zou Kezhao is just a fall guy, and of little consequence.
As long as Zou Kezhao gets out, imdiately returns ho, nobody will know, or rather, nobody will pursue it further.
During the second visit, when he convinced the other party to confess, Jiang Chen had already thought about the follow-up.
An Zairong got what he deserved, a fitting retribution for his actions, but Jiang Chen could not abandon Zou Kezhao.
Not to ntion his previous promises regarding principles of behavior, just considering Lan Peizhi’s position, he had to be careful.
