Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 684: The Surname Jiang, Not So Auspicious
Clearly, everyone present was in a good mood.
However, the meal was not even halfway through when Jiang Huai’s phone rang.
He might have been inclined not to answer, but the caller was persistent, and even Jiang’s mother turned to look:
"Answer it, what if it’s something urgent? This trouble child..."
After all, he was the actual CEO of Jiang Group, with who knows how many issues waiting for him daily. Why was he being so unreliable?
Finally, Jiang Huai answered:
"Hello?"
Naturally, no one else could hear the contents of the call.
However, Jiang Huai’s expression suddenly darkened, as though a pot’s bottom had been scorched.
"Keep a close watch on her; I’ll be there immediately!"
After finishing these words, he hung up directly.
He stood up:
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Lu, Auntie, I have an emergency I need to take care of; I have to go."
The elders all tacitly refrained from asking further:
"Go on, take care of what you need to."
Before Jiang Huai left, his brother called out to him:
"Jiang Huai!"
Hmm?
He stopped in his tracks:
"Brother, do you need something?" he asked.
Jiang Ye seemed thoughtful as he glanced at his younger brother, before cautioning him:
"Don’t go overboard."
Jiang Huai’s shoulders shuddered violently, and his eyes held a trace of disbelief.
His lips moved several times, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He nodded and left the private room.
When the door closed, Jiang’s mother then turned to her eldest son:
"What’s going with your brother?" she asked.
With the way he had just looked, it couldn’t be nothing, and as his own mother, she was very clear on that.
Lu Jing, too, looked curiously at the man beside her, like a precious baby.
Jiang Ye’s face contorted a few times before he coughed and said:
"Personal business!"
???
Just two words?
Who could guess that?
Jiang’s mother immediately gave her son a few harsh glares before resuming her chat with Lu’s mother.
But Lu Jing didn’t give up, her eyes kept roving.
Being stared at by his wife made Jiang Ye quite uncomfortable. He leaned in closer and whispered:
"Miss Li!"
Now, what was there that Lu Jing couldn’t understand?
"It’s not that something has happened to Li Wu, is it?"
She immediately became concerned; after all, that was her childhood best friend, and she was naturally protective.
Jiang Huai’s face earlier had been as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his anger seemed anything but minor.
Jiang Ye furrowed his brows:
"What nonsense are you thinking of? We, the Jiang family, never mistreat women!"
If someone really did mistreat them, they would face family discipline, even to the point of having their legs broken.
Lu Jing’s lips curled:
"That’s what you said, I’ll come to you if anything happens!"
Hiss~
He really wanted to say, what does this have to do with me?
Was it not that brat Jiang Huai’s mess?
But at this moment, Captain Jiang wouldn’t dare to provoke his wife:
"Fine, I said it."
Anyway, if something really happened, wasn’t there still Jiang Huai to vent anger on?
Not a bad deal!
....
At this very moment, Nanxi City Airport’s terminal.
Li Wu had just gotten off the plane when she found herself blocked.
"Who are you guys? Why are you blocking me? Believe me, I will call the police!"
These big guys were just responsible for stopping her, not uttering an extra word, all mute like mimes.
If they hadn’t seemed unlike any kidnappers, she might really have called the cops.
Li Wu was so irritated, she stamped her feet several times, but it didn’t help. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Nothing seemed to get through to them.
She had no choice but to wait.
Wait for these big guys’ boss to show up.
She was curious to see who would play this kind of boring prank.
About twenty minutes or so later, Li Wu, having already played a game out of boredom, finally saw the big guys parting to make way:
"Mr. Jiang!"
Li Wu’s hands froze, and her phone slapped onto the ground.
The surname Jiang was not a good sign!
