Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 727: Let’s Discuss the Wedding

"Don’t, don’t, don’t stop me now—when did I say I couldn’t do it?"

The duck in hand must not fly away!

Ah, and it’s a fat duck at that.

Jiang Ye sneered:

"So why aren’t you getting to work?"

Too much nonsense indeed.

"Going, going, I’m going right now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye put away his mobile and stepped out from the shadows.

He didn’t intend to go home, instead, he headed towards the fire brigade station.

...

Lu Jing at home knew nothing about all this.

Simply took a bath without washing his hair—could do that tomorrow.

Wasn’t hungry either. He just lay on the sofa, clutching his tablet, comfortably browsing the news.

And with that browse, he discovered something shocking.

That eye-catching headline was impossible to miss.

"Dai Group in Nanxi City on the Brink of Bankruptcy," "Complete Fallout between Dai Group’s Chairman and His Daughter," "Dai Group’s Shares Acquired by Son-in-law, Now the Majority Shareholder"...

Too many headlines.

Lu Jing’s eyes were about to pop out—Dai Group was bankrupt?

Of course, what concerned him most was his best friend’s situation. He quickly grabbed his phone and made a call.

The first call went unanswered?

Lu Jing frowned and dialed again.

This time, after a few rings, it was answered:

"Jing’er~"

From the tone of his voice, full of energy, it seemed there was no serious problem.

Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief,

"I saw the news, how are you?" he asked.

On the phone, Dai Changwan laughed:

"What can I do? I’m incredibly happy, I’ve taken back everything owed to me and my mom!"

Yet, Lu Jing still sensed his friend’s insincerity.

Money, the company, etc., could be reclaimed.

But her mother’s life could never be brought back.

Still, at such a moment, it wasn’t a good idea for Lu Jing to bring that up.

Wouldn’t that just be adding insult to injury?

"And Xiang Zheng?"

"He’s busy outside."

Indeed, Xiang Zheng was far from idle now with so much to handle for the Dai Family. It all had to be managed by him.

Leaving it to subordinates wouldn’t really do, as, after all, it concerned his wife’s family.

So, Xiang Zheng personally handling it was the safest.

It had been quite a while since the two friends had caught up, and after discussing the serious matters, they naturally started to chit-chat.

"Jing’er, how are things with Captain Jiang at your place?"

Lu Jing coughed involuntarily:

"It’s going as it goes, what else?"

Tsk tsk.

"I heard that the old chairman of the Jiang Group, along with his family, have all come to Nanxi City. Are you going to tell me they just came to visit and nothing else?"

Lu Jing was startled:

"You’ve heard?"

That was enough to show that many people knew.

It was not a secret guarded closely—a chain of people passing the word along.

Shoot, he had thought it could be kept low-key without outsiders knowing.

Dai Changwan got ahold of the topic:

"Come on, what’s the situation?" she started to interrogate.

Lu Jing grimaced:

"Nothing much."

"Bullshit! You think you can fool me? Believe it or not, I’ll come over to your place right now?

Sister isn’t abroad anymore; I’m right here in Nanxi City, very convenient."

Lu Jing sighed several times:

"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you."

"Mhm, go on."

Pleased as punch.

"Uncle Jiang and Aunt Su came to discuss the marriage."

"I guessed as much, what else?"

Can’t believe that’s the only issue.

Must admit, Miss Dai’s intuition was really sharp.

Lu Jing pursed his lips; actually embarrassed to say it, but kept being pressed, couldn’t exactly lie, right?
