Chapter 292: A Secret Call with Jiang Jingshan
The setting sun cast a warm glow…
Jiang Che leisurely walked out of the bedroom in the hallway, looking extremely relaxed. He made a call to the bodyguards waiting downstairs and then turned back into Xiao Qingge’s office.
Cao Tian was still lying on the ground, unconscious, showing no signs of waking up. Jiang Che pulled over a chair and sat down, lighting a cigarette from his pocket, waiting patiently for the bodyguards to arrive.
About five minutes later, two burly men in black suits and sunglasses pushed open the door and respectfully greeted Jiang Che.
“Wake him up and take him back.” Jiang Che instructed, turning and leaving the office.
The two bodyguards walked over to Cao Tian, lifting him by his arms and following Jiang Che.
Downstairs, Jiang Che instructed the bodyguards to place Cao Tian in the back seat of the Maybach, while he drove the Bugatti towards his villa.
Upon returning to his villa, Jiang Che sealed Cao Tian’s cultivation and had the bodyguards take him to the basement.
He then went upstairs to the study, took out his phone, and dialed his grandfather Jiang Jingshan’s number.
With his father absent, and given that Cao Tian was from the Cao family of Modu, Jiang Che felt it necessary to inform his grandfather before killing him.
The call was quickly answered, and Jiang Jingshan’s strong, resonant voice came through.
“Rascal, what do you need this time?” Jiang Jingshan asked, puzzled. Jiang Che usually didn’t call unless it was important.
“Grandfather, I need to kill someone…” Jiang Che got straight to the point, knowing there was no need to beat around the bush with Jiang Jingshan.
“If you want to kill someone, just make sure to clean up afterwards. Why tell me?” Jiang Jingshan replied, even more puzzled. He knew his grandson had killed people before.
“I’m not killing an ordinary person; it’s Cao Tian, the eldest son of the Cao family from Modu.”
“Cao Tian from the Cao family? Did he provoke you?” Jiang Jingshan asked, not immediately giving a response, but rather seeking clarification.
“Yes, he provoked me. I’ve already brought him home and plan to deal with him in the next couple of days.” Jiang Che said calmly.
“If he provoked you, then kill him. If there’s any fallout, I’ll handle it.” Jiang Jingshan said after a brief pause. As his only grandson, Jiang Che was someone he cherished deeply.
While the Cao family was significant in Modu, it was no match for the Jiang family. He had no fear of adding another enemy. As long as he, Jiang Jingshan, was alive, no one would dare bully Jiang Che!
Jiang Che felt a warm sensation in his heart hearing his grandfather’s words. Despite Jiang Jingshan’s long absences, Jiang Che always felt his care and protection.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. I’m quite busy here…” Jiang Jingshan said, ready to end the call.
“Grandfather, wait a moment.”
“Yes, I’ve also killed Tang Tianlong from the Tang family of Lingnan. The news should have reached them by now.” Jiang Che admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Although these were minor issues for Jiang Jingshan, he knew his grandfather was very busy and hesitated to bother him.
“You sure know how to keep me busy.” Jiang Jingshan said after a long pause, a hint of frustration in his voice but no blame.
Currently engaged in some secretive work in the northwest, he couldn’t return to handle these matters, making things a bit complicated.
“Is there anything else? Tell me now.”
“Yes, the God of War of the North is returning to Linjiang City soon. I plan to find a way to take him down. When the time comes, you can place someone in his position.”
“The God of War of the North? Did he provoke you too?” Jiang Jingshan’s face darkened, clearly exasperated.
Handling the Cao and Tang family matters was manageable, but the God of War of the North was another story.
At twenty-five, he had already reached the level of a Man and Heaven, making him a formidable talent.
And why would someone like the God of War provoke Jiang Che, who had been in Linjiang City all this time?
The God of War, Ji Chen, was a revered figure in the North, loved by the troops he commanded. Any move against him would surely provoke their ire.
