Thump!
The man was knocked to the ground by Jiang Chen with a punch.
Butler Lu and the others looked down at the man with somber expressions.
Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed, a resentful and venomous glint flashed across the man’s eyes as he bit into the poison hidden in his mouth.
Spurt!
After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, the man convulsed a few tis and then lay motionless on the ground.
Jiang Chen’s expression changed. He crouched down, reached out, and felt the man’s pulse, his eyes imdiately flashing with a hint of shock.
"He’s dead!"
Muttering softly, Jiang Chen stood up and looked at Butler Lu, "This man was ruthless. Failing to assassinate, he imdiately committed suicide. And his target wasn’t you; it seems it was !"
Butler Lu looked at the man darkly, seemingly coming to a realization, and reassured softly, "Young Master, you need not worry, I will handle this matter."
Butler Lu waved his hand, and several of the Jiang Family’s bodyguards picked up the man and placed him in their car.
"Young Master, you must ensure the safety of yourself and your mother," Butler Lu reminded Jiang Chen before turning to leave in the car.
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, a look of enlightennt flashing across his eyes. Watching Butler Lu and the others drive away, Jiang Chen furrowed his brow slightly, a deep contemplation in his gaze.
After leaving Jiang Chen’s place, Butler Lu made a call to Elder Master Jiang.
"Butler Lu, how did things go?" Elder Master Jiang’s robust voice ca through the receiver.
"Elder Master, the Young Master has just been the target of an assassination!" Butler Lu spoke in a grave tone.
"What?"
At the Jiang Family residence in Jincheng, Elder Master Jiang, holding the phone, stood up from his chair anxiously, "How’s the child?"
"Don’t worry, Elder Master, the Young Master is fine, and it seems he is quite skilled in martial arts."
Hearing Butler Lu’s words, Elder Master Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Then, fury flashed in his eyes as he furiously slamd a cup onto the floor.
Without much thought, he knew who had sent the assassin!
Taking a deep breath, Elder Master Jiang asked expectantly, "Then, is the child willing to co back?"
"Elder Master, the Young Master... he still does not want to return to the family," Butler Lu said hesitantly.
Elder Master Jiang fell silent for a mont, then sighed heavily, "That’s fine, let him establish a foundation outside first. But... he can’t stay in Jinhai anymore! It’s too dangerous!"
"This... Where should the Young Master go then?" Butler Lu asked.
Elder Master Jiang considered for a mont before speaking in a firm tone, "Isn’t he now the son-in-law of the Gong Family? Persuade him to move to the Gong Family’s ancestral ho in Dingjing. Although the Gong Family’s main branch has already relocated to Jincheng, their roots are still deep in Dingjing. They can provide good protection. This applies to both Jiang Chen and his mother. They’ll be safer there. Go and persuade him again!"
"Okay, I’ll go back right away," Butler Lu agreed with a nod.
"Once Jiang Chen gets to Dingjing, we’ll invest there, establishing a project worth a hundred billion, and letting Jiang Chen take charge of it," Elder Master Jiang continued.
"Alright, I’ll arrange it imdiately," Butler Lu again agreed.
A cold light flashed in Elder Master Jiang’s eyes as he spoke sternly, "I’ll send soone to protect him! I want to see who dares to touch my grandson! If they dare to make a move again, I won’t stop until those people are wiped out."
Butler Lu didn’t dare to respond. After Elder Master Jiang hung up the phone, Butler Lu instructed the driver to turn around and they headed back to Jiang Chen’s house once more.
After discussing with Jiang Chen, he deliberated for a long ti and also asked for his mother’s opinion before finally nodding and agreeing.
After all, in Jinhai, his only concern was Ye Jingyi. Now that Jingyi was still in a coma, staying in Jinhai was actually very dangerous. Moreover, he had carefully considered that the previous assassination attempt was probably related to his sudden change of status.
While in Dingjing, with Gong Lin there, and being his mother’s hotown, it indeed seed better than Jinhai.
After Butler Lu left, Jiang Chen imdiately called Sun Jialin to arrange a eting.
"Jialin, Sun Jiayu and Sun Zhengfeng are both dead." As soon as he saw Sun Jialin, Jiang Chen spoke bluntly.
Sun Jialin looked at Jiang Chen in shock, with a look of disbelief in his eyes. At the sa ti, there was deep fear in his gaze; without a doubt, Sun Jiayu and Sun Zhengfeng’s deaths were Jiang Chen’s doing.
The Jiang Chen of today was really different from the one he had first t!
Jiang Chen did not pay attention to Sun Jialin’s shock and said, "If I let you beco the Family Head of the Sun Family, would you be willing?"
Sun Jialin was stunned for a mont, then overjoyed. He nodded vigorously, "I am willing! Mr. Jiang, from now on, I will listen to you in everything."
At this mont, even his address had changed.
"Good, let’s go find Sun Yukun." Jiang Chen nodded, and patted Sun Jialin on the shoulder.
The two drove straight to the Sun Family’s residence. When Sun Yukun saw Jiang Chen, his eyes reddened.
He had already learned about the deaths of his son and grandson, and by sheer reasoning, knew it was Jiang Chen’s doing.
But he had no thoughts of retaliation at all because he knew that against the Jiang Family, the Sun Family would face this fate. They could let you live if they wished, and could demand your death if they so desired.
Now, the only thing Sun Yukun could do was pray that the deaths of Sun Zhengfeng and Sun Jiayu could quell the Jiang Family’s wrath.
"Sun Yukun, I won’t beat around the bush. Hand over the position of Family Head to Sun Jialin," Jiang Chen said, looking Sun Yukun in the eyes.
Sun Yukun was startled, then glanced at Sun Jialin and nodded heavily.
He knew that he had to agree, whether he liked it or not.
Moreover, this could be an opportunity for the Sun Family to affiliate with the Jiang Family—who could say that the Sun Family would not rise to even greater heights?
After dealing with the affairs of the Sun Family, Jiang Chen turned and went ho.
...
anwhile, at the Ye Family of Jincheng.
Ye Minghui, the current Family Head, awaited Chen Long’s news in his study.
The phone rang. Ye Minghui glanced at the caller ID and answered eagerly, "Chen Long, how did it go? Did you kill the kid?"
"Family Head! The mission failed. The guy’s skills are better than we estimated. Moreover, the intelligence I’ve gathered these last two days suggests that this kid is much more formidable than we imagined!" ca Chen Long’s anxious and serious voice from the receiver.
"What?" Ye Minghui roared, his eyes whirling, and then coldly said, "What about the assassin?"
"You can rest assured, Family Head, the assassin took his own life," Chen Long hurriedly responded.
"That’s good. Hold off on any further action for now, wait for a better opportunity," Ye Minghui sighed in relief, gave a soft instruction, and hung up.
An icy gleam flashed in his eyes as Ye Minghui murmured to himself:
"Jiang Chen, it seems I underestimated you. You’re not just a common son-in-law, not a waste?
But no matter how powerful you are, I must kill you! The position of the Jiang Family Head is ant for and my descendants, and nobody else is going to take that away!"
