Doomsday: Chaebol Prince, Peak
Lin Yan : ???
Everyone: ???
Listening to Wang Suocheng's voice suddenly turn cautious, even tinged with flattery, Lin Yan and the others were all dumbfounded.
Just a second ago, their Boss Wang was still so arrogant and domineering, ready to stand up for them, but now... it hasn't even been a few seconds, has it? What happened?
Regarding his acknowledgment, Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged.
He looked at Boss Wang, the one Lin Yan called, with a calm gaze.
Facing Jiang Chen's gaze, Wang Suocheng felt immense pressure, so strong that sweat had soaked his forehead.
Although Jiang Chen hadn't responded to him yet, just from this aura, the noble demeanor emanating from Jiang Chen seemed innate!
Wang Suocheng had almost certainly guessed Jiang Chen's identity!
Thinking of this, Wang Suocheng's initially straight back suddenly hunched over, revealing a fawning expression that left Lin Yan and the others stunned.
"From your words, it seems you know me?" Jiang Chen said, crossing his legs and tilting his head as he looked at him.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words confirming his identity, Wang Suocheng's face was covered in sweat, and the handkerchief in his hand was almost completely soaked.
"At... at the mayor's banquet last time... I was fortunate enough to see Young Master Jiang's honorable appearance from a lower table..."
"Banquet? The banquet three months ago?"
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and recalled; three months ago, Su Bai, the mayor of Modu City, did indeed hold a banquet, and he was among the invited guests, even as a VIP with the highest rank.
"Young Master Jiang remembers correctly! It was the banquet three months ago!"
Seeing Jiang Chen remember, Wang Suocheng nodded his head like a chicken pecking.
He had tried his best to be able to attend that banquet, and Jiang Chen... he had personally witnessed Su Bai, the mayor of Modu City, openly calling him Young Master Jiang.
After inquiring later, he learned that this Young Master Jiang was from the Shenjing Jiang Family! Moreover, he was the Jiang Family's eldest Young Master! His background was terrifyingly high!
His father was the current supreme commander of the Dragon Country's Southern Military Region!
His mother was the CEO of Dragon Country's state-owned fossil fuel giant!
Even more outrageous was his grandfather! He was the Grand Elder of the Five Elder Council in the Imperial Capital of Dragon Country! His status in Dragon Country was second only to the Sect Master!
If Jiang Chen were in ancient times, he would be a veritable crown prince!
And now… his own people had actually provoked him!
Thinking of this, Wang Suocheng felt his head spin, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
"When I first saw Young Master Jiang, he was truly magnificent! Heroic and brilliant! Truly a divine being!" Wang Suocheng quickly flattered him.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen looked at him with a subtle, smiling gaze.
"Oh, really? But just now, someone seemed to be asking if I had the guts~"
"Thud!"
The moment Jiang Chen finished speaking, Wang Suocheng immediately knelt before Jiang Chen without any hesitation, under the dumbfounded gazes of Lin Yan and the others.
And that wasn't all!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Only three dull thuds were heard; Wang Suocheng felt that kneeling wasn't enough, so he also kowtowed three times to Jiang Chen on the ground!
When he lifted his head again, his forehead was already bloody and bruised; it was clear that Wang Suocheng had kowtowed very hard.
"Slap… slap… slap…!"
"I was blind! I was a fool! Young Master Jiang, it's me…"
Wang Suocheng slapped himself while uttering a string of flattering words to Jiang Chen.
His appearance left everyone present silent, not daring to utter a word.
Although they still didn't know Jiang Chen's exact identity, seeing their revered Boss Wang begging so humbly, they had a premonition that Jiang Chen's identity was absolutely terrifying!
Only Lin Yan still glared at Jiang Chen with gritted teeth; he was jealous, envious, and resentful!
Why could someone like Jiang Chen have such a good background! Why!
"Slap!"
Just as he was thinking this, the black-clad bodyguard standing beside him struck his face with a club again.
The sound of the club hitting flesh made others wince in phantom pain.
But at this moment, they dared not speak.
Didn't they see their boss, who was now kneeling before Jiang Chen, begging for mercy?
"Alright, alright, this Young Master is about to return to Shenjing, and I don't have time to bother with you."
Listening to Wang Suocheng's words, even Jiang Chen felt a little tired and impatiently waved his hand at Wang Suocheng.
"Take your people and scram, and remember, there won't be a next time."
"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Young Master Jiang Chen! Thank you, Young Master Jiang Chen! Young Master Jiang, have a safe journey!"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the huge stone hanging in Wang Suocheng's heart suddenly dropped.
At this moment, he felt the word "scram" was too sweet to his ears!
After bowing deeply and humbly to Jiang Chen several more times, Wang Suocheng quickly led his people away.
As he left, he forcibly dragged Lin Yan away.
He even had someone push Lin Yan's head down to prevent Jiang Chen from seeing Lin Yan's angry expression as he stared at him.
Ran Miaoyin sighed in relief as Lin Yan and the others left.
Although she had now become Jiang Chen's woman, she still felt a little apologetic towards Lin Yan... after all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts... She only hoped they wouldn't meet again in the future; she had moved on, and she hoped Lin Yan could too.
It would be better for her and him.
However.
Jiang Chen stared at the back of Lin Yan being forcibly pulled away, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Ran Miaoyin didn't want to see Lin Yan again, but he, on the other hand, wanted to see Lin Yan again~
And, he believed Lin Yan would definitely fulfill his small wish~
"Young Master, your private jet is ready and is estimated to arrive at Modu International Airport at 9 o'clock, departing for Zhongzhou Shenjing!" A black-clad bodyguard walked over and respectfully said to Jiang Chen.
"Has the family been notified?"
"They have been notified; the patriarch and the others already know about your return to Shenjing." The bodyguard respectfully replied to Jiang Chen.
In Jiang Chen's embrace, Ran Miaoyin listened to Jiang Chen and the bodyguard's conversation and asked curiously, "Young Master, are we leaving Modu? How long until we return?"
"Well, it depends on the situation. It could be three or four years, five or six years, or even, if things go badly, maybe never return in a lifetime," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Eh??" Ran Miaoyin heard Jiang Chen's words and had a blank expression.
Why couldn't she understand Young Master's words at all?
"Don't worry, I've already given instructions that within a day or two after we leave, your parents will be transferred to the best hospital in Shenjing."
"…Mm, thank you, Young Master." Ran Miaoyin didn't care anymore; as long as her father and mother could receive treatment, that was all that mattered.
As for where she would go and how long she would stay, it all depended on Jiang Chen… Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Yan had already been forcibly pushed into a car by Wang Suocheng.
"Boss Wang! You're afraid of Jiang Chen! I'm not! Let me go! I'm going to save Miao Yin!" Lin Yan struggled, gritting his teeth and crying.
"You foolish boy! Do you know how powerful the forces behind Jiang Chen are! Is it worth antagonizing him for a woman? You won't even know how you died then!" Wang Suocheng wiped the scar on his forehead with a tissue and angrily shouted at Lin Yan.
"So what! I absolutely cannot watch Miao Yin fall into his clutches! Even if I die! I will save Miao Yin!" Lin Yan clenched his teeth, then tried to open the car door and run out.
Seeing this, Wang Suocheng directly threw the blood-stained tissue in his hand to the ground.
"Tie Lin Yan up!"
Several subordinates heard this and immediately took out ropes they carried with them, tying Lin Yan up securely.
"Boss Wang! Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to save Miao Yin!" Lin Yan struggled and shouted.
Wang Suocheng took a deep puff of his cigar and exhaled a cloud of white smoke.
"Your parents entrusted you to me before they died; I have a responsibility to raise you and cannot watch you go to your death in vain. Jiang Chen is not someone you can afford to provoke. Let you calm down for a few days; in a few days, you'll understand."
"No! Boss Wang! Let me go! I beg you, Boss Wang! I'm going to save Miao Yin! Without Miao Yin! My life will have no meaning!"
"Letting you go find Ran Miaoyin, that's when life will have no meaning! Drive!"
With a burst of exhaust, several cars quickly drove away into the distance.
But they didn't notice an extremely inconspicuous Santana, following far behind their convoy.
