Chapter 191 The beginning and the end
"It's not that this can't be told, but if you find out, you absolutely cannot leak a single word. This is top secret!"
After a long silence, Cheng Tiangang made his request.
Now he realized that if he didn't tell Jiang Bai the truth and expected this bastard to cooperate fully, it would be nothing short of wishful thinking.
Instead of arguing with him endlessly and haggling over replacement parts, it's better to clarify things once and for all.
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."
Jiang Bai responded lazily.
After receiving his affirmative reply, Cheng Tiangang on the other end began to recount the matter in detail.
Khun Sa has a long-standing notorious reputation. Located in western Thailand, he is a well-known and powerful independent warlord who has been fighting with the government forces for many years and controls a large amount of land and population.
With its formidable military strength, it not only controlled opium cultivation in the West but also secretly controlled opium cultivation in the Black Triangle and controlled 30% of the global laundry detergent market.
These dirty businesses provided him with a large amount of money, which he used to surround the plantations with an army, and to maintain the stability and combat effectiveness of the army through the sale of the produce, thus forming the power and scale he has today.
The Western Kingdom and several surrounding countries had long wanted to wipe out this guy, and had even launched several operations before, but all ended in failure.
Khun Sa was very wealthy, his army was highly capable and well-equipped, and he was extremely loyal, causing several neighboring countries to suffer repeated defeats in their hostile actions against him.
This made the guy even more arrogant and disdainful of others, and his power expanded rapidly. He even expanded his laundry detergent distribution channels into the domestic market.
Over the years, they have harmed countless people.
The anti-narcotics bureau went to great lengths to dismantle his contacts within the country and cut off his supply to the domestic market.
This kind of thing has been done several times before, but with little effect. Every time one is taken down, another one rises up. At most, there will be a few months of peace before new channels are born with Khun Sa's support.
This led the country to decide to completely eradicate Khun Sa, this cancer, once and for all.
That's why Cheng Tiangang was transferred to the Narcotics Enforcement Bureau.
Actually, when Jiang Bai last met Cheng Tiangang in the north, Cheng had already been secretly transferred for over a month.
Under the iron-fisted leadership of Cheng Tiangang, a brand new plan began to unfold. Liu Ruonan, who had originally been lurking by Cai Ba's side to find out his background, was ordered to continue her undercover work.
The purpose was to resolve the Khun Sa issue once and for all.
Cheng Tiangang's plan was not complicated. He wanted to take advantage of Jiang Bai's meeting with Cai Ba and Cai Ba's desire to rebuild his channels to get in touch with him.
While placing the other party's channels under their surveillance, they also tried to lure Khun Sa into the country.
Once he left his territory, Khun Sa was like an eagle without wings, or a fish out of the sea—he was at the mercy of others!
Once Khun Sa is dealt with, his territory and his army will immediately fall apart, and several countries working together can quickly and completely annihilate him.
To eradicate this malignant tumor that has been entrenched in the southeast once and for all.
These words left Jiang Bai speechless for a long time.
This idea is undoubtedly good. If we can lure Khun Sa out, once he leaves his lair, we can either capture him or kill him.
If Khun Sa can be controlled, his rule will surely collapse, and with the combined efforts of several countries, they may well achieve the result planned by Cheng Tiangang and his group.
However, Jiang Bai expressed his doubts: "Khun Sa is a cunning old fox. From what I know, this guy hasn't left his territory for at least ten years. What makes you think you can lure him out?"
"Just because I became his partner in the country?"
"You don't need to worry about that. We have our own methods. To be frank, we also have people around Khun Sa. You don't think that among our multinational planning efforts, only Liu Ruonan is by Khun Sa's side, do you?"
"As long as you listen to me and arrange things properly on your side, we will have a way to get Khun Sa to leave his lair and come to meet you in less than six months."
Cheng Tiangang appeared very confident in his answer to Jiang Bai's question, and answered with arrogance.
As for the specific reasons, he didn't tell Jiang Bai, but the message he conveyed was enough for people to digest for a long time.
It's not hard to guess that Khun Sa had many informants around him, from Cheng Tiangang and his partners.
These people had been by Khun Sa's side for a long time, and some even held high positions. They were deeply trusted by Khun Sa and were even able to influence his decisions and ideas and arrange his schedule in some ways.
It was these people who gave Cheng Tiangang and his team the determination to carry out this plan.
What these people lack is an opportunity and an excuse, and they see themselves as the best excuse right now.
Through the collaboration between Jiang Bai and Cai Ba, and behind him Khun Sa, this dictatorial warlord is brought to light.
Having considered all this, Jiang Bai had a general understanding of Cheng Tiangang and his group's plan.
After a long silence, Jiang Bai finally spoke, "Is it worth it?"
If you want to establish a partnership with Khun Sa and lure him out, you need to join his side and start a business collaboration with him.
As a result, Khun Sa's business expanded throughout mainland China, and a large number of people were harmed as a result. The consequences were unimaginable, and the price to be paid was beyond description.
Jiang Bai felt it wasn't worth it just to capture Khun Sa.
He didn't think that once he had eaten the goods, he could simply hand them over to Cheng Tiangang and be done with it.
Khun Sa wasn't stupid. Although his partners were being eliminated one by one, he still had his own channels and information in mainland China.
Once the goods are in hand, if Jiang Bai doesn't distribute them, that old fox will find out immediately.
At that time, any arrest plans or similar schemes immediately fell apart.
"It's worth it! Sacrificing some people is unavoidable, and we will try our best to control the scope and prevent these from falling into the hands of ordinary people. With your cooperation, this will not be difficult. Those addicts who are already using drugs can only be sacrificed temporarily."
"Once we capture Khun Sa, it will be a permanent solution. Without Khun Sa and the Black Triangle, the global cargo volume will decrease by 40%, saving countless lives. This is something we, the countries, have agreed upon, and the central government has also approved it."
Cheng Tiangang naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Bai's words, and after a moment of silence, he gave an affirmative response.
Great things are not concerned with trifles. In order to achieve a permanent solution and to completely cut off the source of the poison, some necessary sacrifices are acceptable.
"Then... what's in it for me? Don't talk to me about my status or about righteousness. To be honest, I support you from the bottom of my heart, although I don't really agree with what you've done."
"But what you're doing is perfectly justifiable."
"But, Director Cheng, you don't think I'll be safe after arresting Khun Sa, do you? Khun Sa's forces have been entrenched for so long, you can't possibly eliminate them all at once, there will always be some who slip through the net."
"These people know that since I, Khun Sa, was arrested, I will have to bear the consequences."
Chapter 192 Jiang Bai, are you afraid of these things?
"You, Jiang Bai, are afraid of these things?"
As soon as Jiang Bai finished speaking, Cheng Tiangang's amused voice rang out.
It contains a touch of mockery and a playful meaning.
"Afraid? I'm all alone, so of course I'm not afraid. Not to mention Khun Sa, even you, Director Cheng, can't do anything to me."
"But I'm not afraid. What about my people? They and the people around me will immediately become targets of revenge."
"I'm not afraid of Khun Sa's rotten underlings at all, but I can't protect my people every moment. What guarantees can you give me about the safety of my people after I help you?"
With a cold snort, Jiang Bai voiced his concerns.
He was certainly not afraid. With his strength surpassing that of a Grandmaster, he was practically a humanoid nuclear warhead, fearless wherever he went.
The key is the people around him; they are all mortals, and a small knife or a bullet is enough to take their lives.
Khun Sa had been operating for so many years, and his power was immense and unparalleled. Even with the combined efforts of several countries, it was inevitable that some would slip through his net.
Those people were true desperados, and some of them were completely devoted to Khun Sa.
If someone were to recklessly risk their life against his own side, even to the point of mutual destruction, then Jiang Bai would have to consider the safety of those around him.
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Cheng Tiangang, fell silent, unsure how to respond for a moment.
They simply couldn't bring themselves to say things like, "Don't worry, there will definitely be problems."
"You don't need to carry out the specifics of the plan. I will arrange someone to be by your side. You just need to acknowledge him as your confidant. He will handle everything. This matter will have nothing to do with you from beginning to end."
"You don't need to show your face when arresting Khun Sa, and afterwards we will have someone to protect the people around you until you are completely safe."
After a long pause, Cheng Tiangang stated his conditions.
"No need for my involvement? You can pick anyone and claim they're my confidant, but nobody's going to believe that! Do you think Khun Sa and Chai Ba are really fools?!"
Jiang Bai scoffed at this. Khun Sa wasn't stupid; he had let Cai Ba find Jiang Bai.
Who are the people around Jiang Bai? Who are they useful? Who are they not? Who are his confidants? These questions must have already been on Khun Sa's desk.
Isn't it a bit too late to send someone over now?
"Then what do you want!"
Jiang Bai's words left Cheng Tiangang speechless, and he frowned as he asked.
He really couldn't think of any good way to solve the problem at hand.
"In that case, let Wu Tian do the work. I don't want a single penny of the profit. I can't use that dirty money."
"The money you earn will be temporarily held by Wu Tian, and then handed over to you. He will only be responsible for the outward appearances; he will not interfere with the actual operations. You will send people to handle everything. After this is over, you will help protect the two brothers, and at the same time, all their previous shady dealings will be wiped clean!"
After thinking it over, Jiang Bai made this condition.
The two brothers, Wu Tian and Wu Zhong, have not followed the right path. They have done some shady things that have always been a source of leverage for others.
If I talk to them myself and offer to cancel everything, they should both agree.
That way, even if something happens, the only ones directly threatened are Jiang Bai and his two brothers, at least keeping everyone else out of the picture.
Although this is not perfect, and if the other party really wants to retaliate, they won't be so lenient with me, it's still the only way I can do it.
How can there be no sacrifices when you're eliminating harm for the people?
That's it?
This surprised Cheng Tiangang. He had thought that Jiang Bai would take this opportunity to make trouble and demand an exorbitant amount.
But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Bai actually proposed such a simple condition.
They don't even want the benefits they gained from the transaction?
Do I still have to submit it?
This left Cheng Tiangang, who was prepared to be ruthlessly fleeced by Jiang Bai, somewhat bewildered.
"Nonsense, what else can I do? We may not get along, and I wouldn't mind taking advantage of you if I had the chance, but I'm not so shameless as to joke with you about something like this, or risk ripping off the country. I'm not that much of a scoundrel."
"Although I have reservations about your plan, it would be a good thing if it could actually be done."
"Although such things are often like wildfire that cannot be extinguished and will spring up again with the spring breeze, even if Cai Ba and Kun Sha are gone, others will still emerge. However, if we can cut off the source and eliminate the place of origin, then at least we can prevent this thing from harming fewer people."
After saying that, Jiang Bai hung up the phone, leaving Cheng Tiangang on the other end somewhat bewildered.
After a while, he came to his senses and a complicated smile appeared on his face.
Unconsciously, he found that his opinion of Jiang Bai had changed slightly.
Subconsciously, I lowered Jiang Bai's status from an utterly wicked bastard to a complete scoundrel...
"At least this bastard isn't as inhuman as that heinous scoundrel Zhao Wuji! He at least knows how to prioritize and consider the bigger picture!"
Cheng Tiangang thought to himself without realizing it.
Completely disregarding the fact that Zhao Wuji had not actually done anything heinous or immoral.
In fact, Zhao Wuji's reputation outside is much better than Cheng Tiangang's. Most people would give Zhao Wuji a thumbs up and say he's good.
Even someone like Wu Tianxi felt more admiration than hatred for Zhao Wuji.
As for Cheng Tiangang?
Don't let your reputation get too bad!
Among the few powerful figures in the country who could challenge him, besides Li Qingdi, who else would respect him?
The reason why Li Qingdi liked him was not necessarily out of his heart; more so, it was to make Zhao Wuji uncomfortable.
It's easy to imagine how unpopular Cheng Tiangang was.
He just didn't realize it at all.
After agreeing to Cheng Tiangang's request, Jiang Bai spent a day in Jiangmen before calling Cai Ba to express that he had thought things through and felt it was possible to cooperate with Cai Ba.
After agreeing that Cai Ba could directly contact Wu Tian and begin making arrangements, Jiang Bai returned to Tiandu.
I've already explained the general situation to Wu Tian over the phone, but some key points are not convenient to discuss in detail over the phone. It would be better to talk about it in person when we get back.
So Jiang Bai resolutely abandoned it. Overjoyed and excited, Cai Ba said he would treat Jiang Bai well and took a flight back to Tiandu.
As soon as he boarded the plane, Jiang Bai spotted many familiar faces. The first one that caught his eye was none other than the beautiful flight attendant Jiang Yuqing, with whom he had spent a few days before, and whose goodwill towards him had greatly increased.
As for the others, Jiang Bai was no stranger to them; they were all Jiang Yuqing's good friends, the beautiful flight attendants he had met before.
Jiang Bai himself never expected that, by such a coincidence, he would be on the same flight again.
Chapter 193 Jiang Yuqing's Suitors
Jiang Yuqing, who was greeting guests at the boarding gate, was clearly taken aback by Jiang Bai's arrival. She subconsciously bowed and greeted him before quietly leaving her position, which was then taken over by another beautiful flight attendant with a smile on her face.
The foreman, Sister Zhou, noticed Jiang Yuqing's little actions from a distance. She paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded at Jiang Bai after seeing him. She didn't come over and completely ignored Jiang Yuqing's obviously foul behavior.
Of all the people on this crew, who hasn't received benefits from Jiang Bai?
Jiang Bai waived the interest on such a large high-interest loan with just a word. Although the principal still had to be paid, isn't it only right to pay back debts?
Moreover, the other party gave Jiang Bai an extremely long repayment period out of consideration for him.
This is a huge favor, and several people remember it.
Jiang Bai is just exchanging a few words with Jiang Yuqing. Who would step forward to be the villain at this time?
Putting aside whether Jiang Bai and his group can afford to offend them, even if they could, they wouldn't be so ungrateful for such a huge favor.
"Why did you board the plane? I thought you had already gone back! Why did you specifically take my flight?" Jiang Yuqing said with a smile as she led Jiang Bai to his first-class seat.
But after saying this, her face flushed slightly, and she realized that what she had said seemed a little too ambiguous.
Undeniably, after a brief period of contact, she developed feelings for Jiang Bai, and she could also sense that Jiang Bai reciprocated her feelings.
However, neither of them made this clear. Strictly speaking, the two of them could only be considered ordinary friends.
Several colleagues later asked her about her relationship with Jiang Bai, and she gave the same answer.
"No, not at all. I was quite surprised to see you. Don't you think this is fate?"
Jiang Bai asked with a grin, indicating that he hadn't deliberately arranged anything.
"Pooh!"
Jiang Yuqing turned her head and spat at Jiang Bai without hesitation, which made Jiang Bai laugh out loud.
"I have other work to do, I'll talk to you later!" Jiang Yuqing said with a smile as she led Jiang Bai to his seat, then turned and left.
"etc."
Before she could leave, Jiang Bai called out to her, which startled Jiang Yuqing.
"Once you arrive in Tiandu, will you return immediately, or stay there for two days?"
After arriving at their destination, some airlines offer one or two nights of rest, while others simply return directly.
Apart from long-haul international flights, this system for other flights is irregular, depending on the time and work schedule.
That's why Jiang Bai asked that question.
"You'll be staying for a day, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuqing was taken aback.
"What else could it be! I'll treat you to a meal. You're coming to Tiandu, do you think I'd let you stay out? Of course you'll stay at my place... and I'll show you around while I'm at it." Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and said irritably.
But after saying that, seeing Jiang Yuqing's blushing cheeks, Jiang Bai suddenly realized that what he had said might have been a bit too ambiguous.
What does it mean to live in your own home instead of outside?
These words seem to have a different meaning...
"Pooh."
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Bai's words drew another harsh "Pah!" from Jiang Yuqing, who then turned and left without saying another word to this big scoundrel.
"What? You dare to harass our flight attendants in public on our plane? You've gone too far. Be careful, I'll tell everyone when we get back and kick you off the plane."
As soon as Jiang Yuqing left, a flight attendant came up to Jiang Bai with a smile and teased him.
This was someone he knew; she was one of the flight attendants from last time. Her name was Jiang Xin or something like that, Jiang Bai had forgotten.
"No, I wouldn't dare. I just misspoke. I was planning to wait for you to arrive and show you the hospitality you deserve, but she misunderstood."
"Is it us... or her?"
Faced with the other party's teasing, Jiang Bai smiled slightly but did not reply. The other party left with a smile.
About ten minutes later, after all the passengers had boarded, the plane announced that everyone should fasten their seatbelts. Jiang Yuqing had already arrived in the first-class cabin.
I found a place to sit down not far in front of Jiang Bai and then fastened my seatbelt.
"Miss Jiang, I have a seat here. You seem uncomfortable sitting there. Please sit here." Jiang Bai was about to speak when a voice sounded from behind him.
A young man in a sky-blue suit, with a smile on his face, was speaking to Jiang Yuqing.
These words sounded rather frivolous, causing Jiang Bai to unconsciously frown, but he remained silent.
"No, Mr. Han, we have rules. I'll just sit here."
Jiang Yuqing politely declined, her expression unchanged, but her professional smile looked stiff.
It's not hard to see that she doesn't particularly like this person.
"I bought a ticket here. You can sit here. Besides, rules are rules, but people are flexible. I don't believe anyone will dare to say a word if you sit here. You can trust me. My father has a very good relationship with your Xiangjiang Airlines. No one will make things difficult for you."
The other party seemed not to hear the refusal and continued to speak, unconsciously revealing an air of arrogance in their words.
When he mentioned his father's relationship with Hong Kong Airlines, Jiang Bai was taken aback.
This person is clearly a second-generation rich kid. Hong Kong Airlines is a private company, and several well-known Hong Kong tycoons have shares in it.
Being able to know their high-ranking officials means that the person in question must be quite wealthy.
"No."
Jiang Yuqing refused again, this time without even a professional smile, appearing very unwilling and even a little annoyed.
It's just that it hasn't been shown yet.
It's not hard to guess from the conversation just now that this young man has harassed Jiang Yuqing before.
"A nuisance fly, relying on his money and connections with our higher-ups, acts with impunity. He's followed this flight three times in the past few days, constantly bothering Yuqing."
Jiang Yuqing glanced at Jiang Bai with concern from a distance without saying a word, while Jiang Xin, who was walking past Jiang Bai, muttered something under his breath.
He then sat down next to Jiang Yuqing.
The plane took off and began to climb. A few minutes later, it began to fly smoothly. Jiang Yuqing and the others unbuckled their seatbelts and began distributing drinks.
The young man stood up, walked to Jiang Yuqing's side, blocked her way, and said, "Yuqing, I just want to invite you to dinner. I even canceled my company meeting for this, and I've taken this flight with you five times. Please give me a chance, considering how sincere I am."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I think I've made myself clear before. I'm not interested in you, and I already have someone I like, so I hope you won't bother me. If you have work to do, I hope you won't waste your time here."
Chapter 194 I Don't Have Time for You
Jiang Yuqing decisively rejected the other party's suggestion. When she said that she had someone she liked, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Bai. Seeing that Jiang Bai was looking at her, her face unconsciously turned slightly red.
Jiang Bai felt a slight warmth in his heart and responded with a smile.
"Who is the person I like? I don't think I'm afraid to compete with anyone!"
However, these words were not enough to make the other party back down.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuqing's words, the young man surnamed Han frowned slightly, then revealed a confident smile.
It's not hard to guess that he is very confident in himself.
To be honest, this young man wasn't particularly handsome; he was about the same age as Jiang Bai.
He was far inferior to the young master Hu that Jiang Bai had met at the Portuguese Hotel.
In terms of appearance alone, Young Master Hu is miles ahead of this guy surnamed Han.
However, in terms of temperament, this person is clearly superior, at least lacking the obvious air of a spoiled brat like that young master Hu.
His designer suit was worth at least tens of thousands of dollars, and his sky-blue Vacheron Constantin shirt was worth at least 500,000 dollars.
The source of his confidence is self-evident.
"This isn't about competition, is it? Feelings can't be forced. I really have no interest in you!" Jiang Yuqing replied, frowning.
In fact, she had clearly rejected him more than once, but he clung to her like a stubborn leech, impossible to shake off.
"You haven't even given me a chance, how do you know you're not interested in me? At the very least, you should give me a chance to treat you to dinner. This trip to Tiandu is my home turf, you should at least give me a chance to show off, shouldn't you?"
The other party still wouldn't give up.
"I'm sorry, I have to go to work."
Jiang Yuqing said expressionlessly, preparing to avoid the other party and leave.
However, the narrow road in front of her was completely blocked by the other party, and she couldn't get through unless the other party moved aside.
After trying twice without success, Jiang Yuqing stomped her foot angrily and stood there, frowning as she looked at the other person with a displeased expression.
"Please move aside!"
"If you promise me you'll have dinner with me after we get off the plane, I'll let you go. I know you'll be resting there for a day, you have plenty of time!"
The man surnamed Han smiled slightly and, in a somewhat roguish manner, made his request.
"I do have a day, but I'm sorry, Yuqing has already agreed to have dinner with me, so she doesn't have time to deal with you. Please move aside and don't disturb her work."
At this moment, Jiang Bai naturally wouldn't play dead. He slowly got up and, without anyone noticing, stood in front of Jiang Yuqing, saying the following words.
"Who are you?" The other person frowned, looked Jiang Bai up and down, and said with some displeasure.
"Who I am is none of your business! Please move aside!"
Jiang Bai chuckled, then reached out with one hand and, before the other person could react, swatted them back into their seat like a fly.
His technique was extremely precise, allowing the other person to sit down steadily without suffering the slightest harm.
Jiang Yuqing smiled at Jiang Bai but said nothing more before turning and leaving.
"Hey kid, who are you?"
First-class tickets are expensive, and those who can sit here are not necessarily rich, but they are certainly not too poor. However, Jiang Bai's clothes and appearance are really not associated with the wealthy, making it a bit hard to guess.
So after Jiang Yuqing left, Han Chuan approached Jiang Bai and asked in an unfriendly tone.
Jiang Bai closed his eyes and completely ignored him.
Jiang Bai didn't know where the other party came from, but that didn't affect his attitude. The other party had just said that he was from Tiandu. Since he was from Tiandu... what did Jiang Bai have to worry about?
How many people in the world deserve Jiang Bai's special attention?
Let alone Tiandu, in fact, how many people in the entire China are worthy of Jiang Bai's attention?
He thought he was Cheng Tiangang!
When Jiang Bai didn't answer, Han Chuan's face changed drastically, turning as black as if it could drip water. The other party's obvious disregard for Rang made him furious.
No one has ever treated him like this before!
He believed he had met many important figures and wealthy people, none of whom had ever ignored him like this!
"I'm Han Chuan, the deputy general manager of Han's Cosmetics Company! Who are you, brother? Let's get acquainted!"
Taking a deep breath, Han Chuan spoke, extending his right hand while maintaining a degree of composure.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Jiang Bai still ignored him.
This made Han Chuan lose face. Han's Cosmetics was a giant in the domestic cosmetics industry, with assets of tens of billions. It was one of the absolute leaders in the cosmetics field, with its products sold both domestically and internationally, generating huge profits.
The Han family was incredibly wealthy, spanning three generations, and no one dared to ignore them like that.
Jiang Bai's attitude hurt Han Chuan, and at the same time, made him suspicious of Jiang Bai's identity.
People who disregard themselves like this are either of extremely high status or can only be considered losers.
Han Chuan believed he knew all the prominent people in Tiandu, and Jiang Bai clearly did not belong to that group. Moreover, judging from his clothes and appearance, he had no connection with the wealthy or similar figures.
Unconsciously, he had already categorized Jiang Bai in his mind as someone with a little money who sat in first class to show off.
Sure enough, after a while, Jiang Bai, who had been half-closing his eyes, opened them and said, "I'm also from Tiandu. Han's Cosmetics, what does that do? Sell cosmetics? I've never heard of it."
Indeed, this is true. Tiandu is the financial center of the entire country, with countless enterprises of all kinds.
Although Jiang Bai has lived here for many years, he has always been at the bottom of society and has not had much contact with people at this level.
Later, although he followed Zhao Wuji, he also got to know some people.
But who is Zhao Wuji?
What level of person did he introduce to Jiang Bai?
Those are just a tiny fraction of the most outstanding people in Tiandu and even the whole country.
Although the Han family was not bad, it was not good enough for Zhao Wuji, so Jiang Bai did not know them and did not even know that such a company existed.
His answer immediately confirmed Han Chuan's suspicions, leading him to categorize Jiang Bai as a small business owner with a little money but no worldly experience.
Unconsciously, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.
"Does the brother know Miss Jiang?"
Despite harboring some contempt for Jiang Bai, Han Chuan maintained a polite demeanor on the surface, squinting as he tried to gather the information he wanted.
"Yes, I met her when I went to Hong Kong last time."
Jiang Bai replied listlessly, showing little interest in chatting with the other person.
"So you've only known each other for a short time? And you've already gotten Miss Jiang to agree to have dinner with you? You're quite the man... But I have a suggestion, I wonder if you'd be interested."
