Chapter 193 - 193: You Just Realized That Jiang Jingchen Is Dangerous?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The brawny man who attacked Jiang Minglang was Zhu Hong.

He was the leader of the gang who tried to cripple Jiang Jingchen in the mountains, the one the other men called “boss”.

After they were captured by Jiang Jingchen’s men, he was told by those men that his two brothers had gone to Jiang Minglang for help. Jiang Minglang had ordered his men to get rid of them in order to protect his reputation.

Jiang Jingchen’s men let him go and asked him to ask Jiang Minglang for one million yuan to save his last brother. Zhu Hong was prepared to die.

If he couldn’t get the money from Jiang Minglang, he would perish together with that bastard!

“Jiang Minglang, I know that you have many tricks up your sleeve, but now that your life is in my hands, if you don’t give me the money to save my brother, I’ll kill you!”

Jiang Minglang panicked when he saw the martyr take out a dagger.

Didn’t Yang Hao say that he had already settled this matter? Why was there suddenly another man?

Jiang Minglang agreed to give Zhu Hong the money in order to save his own life.

“One million is not a small amount. If you want the money, you’ll have to let me transfer it to you!”

Zhu Hong brought Jiang Minglang his phone and unlocked it using his finger. He checked his balance and indeed, there was less than a million yuan in his digital wallet.

“I’ll need to transfer the money to you from my bank account,” Jiang Minglang said as he thought of ways to save himself.

Zhu Hong placed the dagger against his neck. “Don’t think that just because you’re the second young master of the Jiang family, 1 wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. 1 know that even if I take the money and leave, you won’t let me off.”

“But let me remind you that it was you who asked me to maim Jiang Jingchen. I still have our chat history and proof of your payment to me.”

“If you cross me, I’ll turn myself in and make a big deal out of this. In the worst case, we’ll go to prison together!”

Jiang Minglang was so angry that he was about to explode.

“It’s just a million yuan. 1’11 give it to you but you must play by the rules. You’ve already broken the rules when you found out who hired you.”

Zhu Hong didn’t care about any of this. He couldn’t even guarantee his own life now, why would he care about playing by the rules?

“Pay up!”

“I’ll transfer the money to you from my bank account!”

Zhu Hong didn’t trust him and asked Jiang Minglang to talk him through the money transfer process while he operated Jiang Minglang’s phone.

Very quickly, the one million yuan was transferred to his account. Although it hurt Zhu Hong, he still transferred the one million yuan to his captors so they would free his last brother.

He transferred the money and received a reply very quickly. His captors told him that his brother had been released and even asked his brother to speak with him on the phone.

After Zhu Hong confirmed that his last brother was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief and turned to ask Jiang Minglang about his two brothers who had disappeared.

Jiang Minglang was annoyed. “How would 1 know where they went? 1 gave them a sum of money and they left!”

“Impossible, 1 couldn’t get in touch with them and the people who captured me said that you’ve killed them. Jiang Minglang, I’ll make you pay with your life!”

Jiang Minglang laughed in frustration. “The people who captured you are Jiang Jingchen’s men? Jiang Jingchen has a grudge against me and he’s deliberately sowing discord. Don’t be an idiot. I’ve given them 500,000 yuan and let them leave. Do you think they would contact you?”

Jiang Minglang thought that Jiang Jingchen was quite skillful with his tricks. He deliberately separated these men so they could harass him separately.

These hooligans were simple-minded people. Although they couldn’t really do anything to him, they were definitely more annoying and disgusting than flies. “You are lying!”

“Why would I lie to you? I won’t dirty my hands if money can solve the problem! Untie me quickly and 1’11 spare your life!”

Zhu Hong refused to give up. He said, “If you give me another 500,000 yuan, 1’11 drop the matter!”

Jiang Minglang laughed as he stared the brawny man and boorish man. “Alright, I’ll give you another 500,000 yuan!”

Once again, Zhu Hong operated Jiang Minglang’s phone and transferred another 500,000 yuan from Jiang Minglang’s bank account. Zhu Hong then untied him.

“Jiang Minglang, if you lied to me, I’ll make you suffer!”

Jiang Minglang sneered. He was the one who paid this man to cripple Jiang Jingchen, but this man had come to his house and threaten him?

What a joke!

“Be sensible and disappear from my sight forever!”

“Hmph!” Zhu Hong snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Fierceness look flashed across Jiang Minglang’s eyes as he watched the man walk out.

How could he let a man like Zhu Hong have leverage over him? He was courting death!

Zhu Hong was delighted. Although this business deal was risky and he suffered a lot, he still pocketed 500,000 yuan.

He walked out of the neighborhood and opened his car door. A van suddenly drove over. Two men rushed out and pointed daggers at his back.

“If you don’t want to die, come with us!”

Zhu Hong frowned, but he was outnumbered and was shoved into the van.

He thought that they were the same men who captured him previously. Before he could ask, he was knocked unconscious!

At Jiang Minglang’s villa, Jiang Minglang went upstairs to take a shower after he received a call.

He called Yang Hao after he was done. He told him what had just happened and then questioned him. “Didn’t you think that you know a lot? You’ve miscalculated. Jiang Jingchen is a lot more dangerous than you think!”

Yang Hao thought in his heart. Did this guy just realize that Jiang Jingchen was dangerous?

When Yang Hao worked with Jiang Jingchen, he had once suspected that Jiang Jingchen was a sociopath, or he wouldn’t be so ruthless.

Of course, he wouldn’t tell Jiang Minglang such things because everything that happened was arranged by Jiang Jingchen.

Only by using nobodies to harass Jiang Minglang endlessly would Jiang Minglang feel the crisis that Jiang Jingchen was causing him. Only then would he cherish Yang Hao as a partner even more.

“It looks like that Jiang Jingchen still has more tricks up his sleeve. However, Young Master Minglang, you’re too careless. How could you let a hooligan like that succeed?”

Yang Hao suddenly thought of something and asked, “You didn’t have any men with you. Did you have something special planned tonight?”

Jiang Minglang’s face darkened as he remained quiet.

He did have something special planned tonight. He was going to have fun with a woman but after this incident, he was in no mood for fun.

“Keep an eye out for me. 1 need to take over Jiang Corporation so our partnership can continue. Now that we’re on the same boat, if I don’t do well, neither will you!”

“Of course, Young Master Minglang. Don’t worry. I can stand firm in a complicated firm like CJ. You will surely succeed with my help!”

Yang Hao thought back to a time when the complicated CJ wasn’t as big as it was today, when it was taken down by Jiang Jingchen.

He was like a war-loving emperor who’d expand his kingdom by invading others step by step. Now, his hidden assets had reached an unimaginable number.

At first, Yang Hao was very curious about what turned the first young master of an aristocratic family, who used to be modest and down-to-earth, into a bloodthirsty and ruthless person.

Jiang Jingchen just answered casually, “Murder!”

In the past, he didn’t understand what Jiang Jingchen meant by that.

Now that he was back in the country and learned more about the Jiang family, he was starting to understand.

Jiang Jingchen wanted to murder the Jiang family.

The first person to be slaughtered was probably the second young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Minglang.

However, based on his understanding of Jiang Jingchen, it was not his style to let Jiang Minglang die a quick death.

He was a scheming fox who was best at slow plots. He would torture people until they had a mental breakdown. Things would end badly for that person even if he didn’t lift a finger in the end.

“Young Master Minglang, my men saw Wen Nan meet with Jiang Jingchen.

They vaguely heard the two of them mention your name.”

“Wen Nan’s attitude towards Jiang Jingchen was still very respectful. 1 thought you’ve been quite close with Wen Nan lately so I’m letting you know.”

Jiang Minglang’s face darkened. “You mean, Wen Nan is helping Jiang Jingchen to play tricks on me?”

“I don’t know. After all, 1 don’t know much about Wen Nan. If you’d like to know, I can help you investigate.”

Yang Hao didn’t say anything bad about Wen Nan, but his words had already angered Jiang Minglang..
