Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 715: Giving You One Chance

"Here’s your one chance. If you miss it, there won’t be another."

The unspoken message was: Considering I just punched you, I’m giving you a chance to speak up.

But whether he’d agree, that was another matter.

Gu Cheng couldn’t even worry about the pain:

"Brother Aye, no, I’ll talk, okay?"

Jiang Ye leaned against the chair back and crossed his legs, rhythmically tapping his knuckles on the table.

He gave a look that said, ’Spit it out fast!’

"Um, Brother Ye, you surely know about my family’s situation, right?"

Jiang Ye didn’t answer directly but spat out two words:

"Continue."

Stop bullshitting and get to the point.

Gu Cheng looked a bit hesitant to start, but knowing the man in front of him wasn’t very patient, he braced himself:

"Brother Ye, I came here to surrender. Do you believe that?"

???

Surrender?

Jiang Ye laughed:

"Surrender what?" He asked meaningfully.

Gu Cheng widened his eyes, looking suspicious:

"Brother Ye, you can’t say you don’t know, right?"

Unbelievable.

With the Jiang Family’s capabilities, let alone the Crown Prince, what wouldn’t they know?

Not to mention, the Gu Family’s issues had long been an open secret. Who in the circle didn’t know by now?

Jiang Ye tapped the table again, giving Gu Cheng a look that was both mocking and intimidating.

Gu Cheng felt a chill run down his spine:

"Brother Ye, I really came to surrender. Please believe me."

"Then show me, where’s your sincerity?"

You said you were surrendering, right?

Shouldn’t you let us see it first?

Who would believe otherwise?

Are you writing a blank check?

Gu Cheng seemed stunned:

"Brother Ye, I rushed over this time, didn’t bring anything valuable except maybe this watch on my wrist, see?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As he spoke, he actually began to undo his watch.

Jiang Ye’s eyes flickered, his expression becoming even more speechless:

"Gu Cheng, did your brain get kicked by a donkey when you left the house?"

Would the Crown Prince care about your trinkets?

What are you thinking?

When Gu Cheng faced Lu Jing alone in the hospital earlier, he was all cunning and scheming.

Why did he turn into this in front of Jiang Ye?

Lu Jing quietly tugged at Jiang Ye, giving a look that said ’let him finish without interruptions.’

They were thoroughly enjoying the drama and didn’t want to miss any of it.

What else could Jiang Ye do?

Since his wife wanted to listen, he let it continue.

"I’m giving you three seconds to get your brain in gear, or else, don’t bother speaking again."

Wow, that’s a blatant threat.

Gu Cheng immediately perked up:

"Brother Ye, I was wrong. I didn’t mean it that way."

Too anxious, he was even stuttering in his explanation.

Jiang Ye swiftly glanced at him:

"You want to utter another useless word?"

Ahem.

"Brother Ye, what I mean is, no matter what happens, I will have nothing to do with that Miss Jiang Qiu. You all are free to do as you please without considering me."

Hm?

This statement, even Lu Jing could understand and was quite surprised.

According to Gu Cheng’s literal words: He wouldn’t recognize Jiang Qiu?

Tsk tsk.

It’s a good thing Jiang Qiu wasn’t there, otherwise, what would her reaction be?

After all, this heir of the Gu Family is...

However, Jiang Ye caught onto another crucial aspect:

"Did Mrs. Gu send you?" he asked.

Gu Cheng nodded:

"Yes."

He didn’t deny it.

This left Lu Jing even more dumbfounded.

But, given some thought, it seemed understandable.

Gu Cheng had been raised solely by Mrs. Gu, who had always been the one educating him.

Clearly, there’s quite a difference between Gu Cheng and his sister, Gu Xiyue.
