Chapter 316: Truly a Womanizing Playboy
In a VIP room at a hospital in Linjiang City.
Ji Chen was lying in bed, leisurely reading a newspaper, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.
Li Yuan suddenly opened the door and walked in.
“Master, I have already tracked Jiang Che’s whereabouts.” Li Yuan walked to Ji Chen’s bedside, bowing deeply and speaking in a tone different from usual.
He didn’t dare to look Ji Chen in the eyes, afraid that he might accidentally reveal something.
“So soon??” Ji Chen was surprised, putting down the newspaper and looking at Li Yuan in astonishment.
He wasn’t used to such high efficiency from Li Yuan. After all, it had only been one night, and this guy already found out Jiang Che’s whereabouts?
“In three days, Jiang Che will leave Linjiang City for a while.”
“Who told you this?” Ji Chen asked, his expression peculiar. His injuries would take about three more days to heal before he could be discharged.
Could it really be so coincidental?
“When I went to Jiang Che’s villa yesterday, I overheard this from the guards at the gate.” Li Yuan replied respectfully, still bowing his head without raising it at all.
“Is the information reliable?” Ji Chen asked, feeling a bit tempted. He trusted Li Yuan, one of his few confidants, not to deceive him.
“The information is reliable and accurate. I stayed there for a while. The guards said that Jiang Che took a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Gu family in the capital during his recent visit to Tianhai City.”
“This time, he plans to go personally to propose marriage.” Li Yuan repeated the story he had agreed on with Jiang Che the night before.
“The eldest daughter of the Gu family in the capital? Gu Menghan, the one known as the most beautiful woman in the capital?” Ji Chen asked, his expression complex, revealing nothing of his thoughts.
He had heard of this eldest daughter of the Gu family. Last year, during a business trip to the capital, he had the fortune to see her at a banquet.
This woman left a deep impression on him with her exceptional looks, temperament, and even her cultivation. Someone like her is unforgettable once seen…
“Yes, it’s her.” Li Yuan nodded, adjusting his emotions, taking a deep breath, and cautiously raising his head, still avoiding Ji Chen’s eyes.
“Truly a womanizing playboy…” Ji Chen sneered.
As he suspected, these rich second-generation heirs are all the same! All of them are unfaithful and promiscuous!
Yesterday, he had heard from Old Li about Jiang Che’s relationship with Shen Qingqiu. But he wasn’t interested in Jiang Che’s affairs. All he knew was that with Jiang Che leaving, his opportunity had arrived.
He could use Jiang Che’s absence to go to Bihai Flower Villa and reunite with Ji Qingwan. Helping her escape Jiang Che’s clutches, he had realized that Jiang Che was definitely interested in his sister.
“I understand. You have nothing more to do these days. Here’s a card with 100,000 yuan. Take the brothers out to relax for a couple of days.” Ji Chen smiled, taking a bank card from his bag and handing it to Li Yuan.
By brothers, he naturally meant the ten war generals who had come back to Linjiang City with him. In the Northern Territory, these men had never gone home even once. This rare trip home was a chance to relax.
“Master, is this appropriate…” Li Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse, feeling guilty after deceiving him once. He felt a bit bad about accepting Ji Chen’s gift.
“Of course it is. No one will gossip about it, don’t worry.” Seeing Li Yuan’s hesitation, Ji Chen reassured him. He thought Li Yuan was afraid someone would make an issue out of this.
“Alright then. I won’t disturb your rest any longer, Master. I’ll take my leave.” Li Yuan sighed, turning to leave.
He looked hesitant and conflicted, his face showing a trace of melancholy. He feared that if he stayed any longer, he might blurt out his true thoughts. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t want to betray Ji Chen.
Although Jiang Che didn’t specify why Ji Chen should go to Bihai Flower Villa in three days, it couldn’t be for anything good.bHe had thought about taking his sister and mother and fleeing to another place.
But this unrealistic idea was quickly dismissed. Even if he managed to leave with them, where could they go? The Jiang family’s influence in Jiuzhou is vast. Was he to live a life of wandering, never settling?
Moreover, Jiang Che must have anticipated this and hadn’t mentioned it, likely having his own cards to play. Betraying Ji Chen was a forced decision for him.
