I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2108 - 1356: Brothers

"Brother, how’s your lawsuit going?"

Hong Xiaoyu asked absentmindedly. If it were just him and his brother and sister, it wouldn’t matter, but his girlfriend was there too.

Maybe it showed he really didn’t regard Duan Xueying as an outsider.

"Lawsuit?"

Duan Xueying looked surprised and glanced at Jiang Chen in amazement.

Perhaps Hong Xiaoyu didn’t know his brother’s exact achievements, but as Duan Family’s heiress, Duan Xueying was well aware.

Of course.

She didn’t know everything, but certainly more than Hong Xiaoyu.

"What lawsuit is Brother Jiang Chen involved in?"

Besides astonishment, there was also curiosity.

"It’s already settled."

Jiang Chen replied casually.

"So soon."

Hong Xiaoyu couldn’t help but look at Fang Qing in admiration: "Sister Fang Qing is really amazing."

"It has not much to do with me; it was your brother who handled it himself."

Fang Qing spoke matter-of-factly, with a smile, "Your brother has always been very capable, hasn’t he? He always solves his own issues."

No matter how they interacted privately, when outsiders were present, Fang Qing always gave him plenty of face.

Hong Xiaoyu thought of something and laughed to himself.

"What are you laughing at?"

Duan Xueying asked, tilting her head.

Hong Xiaoyu shook his head, keeping the secret.

"Want to say it? Just say it."

Fang Qing spoke.

"Sister Fang Qing, can I really speak?"

Jiang Chen held back his laughter, is this how you ask for someone’s opinion?

Sure enough, how else could Fang Qing respond, except by saying: "Go ahead."

"My brother is capable of handling his own matters, but many times before, it was due to Sister Fang Qing’s issues."

"Pfft."

Jiang Chen couldn’t hold back, smiling broadly with satisfaction: "Justice is in people’s hearts."

"Justice is in people’s hearts?"

Fang Qing smiled as she looked at Hong Xiaoyu: "Family is family."

"Sister Fang Qing, you asked me to say it."

Hong Xiaoyu said somewhat sheepishly, "Back then, my brother was surrounded and blocked by some thugs outside school, and was forced to come to me for money."

Jiang Chen’s expression instantly turned from sunny to gloomy, showing displeasure: "I just borrowed a bit of your private savings, and you still remember it?"

"I had painstakingly saved it over several months."

"Borrowed money? What money? You said those thugs were all talk, right? Your so-called all talk is to give them money as tribute?"

Fang Qing was clearly in the dark, hearing it for the first time.

Duan Xueying sensibly kept silent, listening intently.

Jiang Chen cleared his throat, feigning calmness, "Everything requires a bit of courtesy before taking action."

Not just Fang Qing and Hong Xiaoyu, but even Duan Xueying, a lady from a prominent family, couldn’t help but laugh at this.

"Then what happened later...?"

Jiang Chen quickly interrupted Fang Qing’s words; he wasn’t vain, but with Duan Xueying present, now officially his cousin’s girlfriend, he had to care about his image.

"Because those thugs didn’t keep their word, they took the money and still wouldn’t leave us alone."

"Then why didn’t you let me call the police?"

"If you call the police, the whole school would know. Wouldn’t you be pointed at and talked about at school? That kind of reputation doesn’t speak of honor. Matters of the underworld should be settled in the underworld."

Jiang Chen said easily.

Fang Qing remained silent.

"Brother Jiang Chen, you were quite something back then."

Duan Xueying chimed in at the right moment, her timing smart, her tone humorous.

Jiang Chen laughed it off, saying: "A hero doesn’t brag about past glories."

Hmm.

The other three burst into laughter.

The atmosphere was lively and harmonious.

No one deliberately flaunted affection. In front of Jiang Chen and Fang Qing, the "elders," the young couple ate their own meals.

How they interacted privately in their world wasn’t important, but in public, they needed to behave appropriately, as it showed their upbringing.

"What’s your roommate’s name?"

While eating, Jiang Chen brought it up.

"Brother, no need to trouble you."

Hong Xiaoyu understood what his cousin meant, immediately saying: "Xueying has already asked someone to help."

The Duan Family’s connections and influence in River City were undeniable.

"He hasn’t contacted anyone, didn’t take his phone, there are no records of money withdrawal from his bank card, it’s likely not an accident, but his own choice to disappear."

Duan Xueying said: "He might deliberately not want to be found."

"He needs identification for hotels, train and flight tickets, no messages at all?"

Fang Qing asked.

Duan Xueying shook her head, "We checked, he hasn’t check into any registered hotels, nor used public transport, even the subway face scans were checked."

"That indicates he should still be in River City."

Duan Xueying looked towards River City, "Yeah, I think so too."

With its vast area, it also had its drawbacks; River City’s size was comparable to a country, with over ten million permanent residents, finding someone was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Why would a perfectly good person want to hide? Not even caring for his parents, when graduation means welcoming a bright future?"

Jiang Chen expressed puzzlement.

"Could he have encountered a scam group?"

Fang Qing guessed.

True enough.

That kind of suggestion was an eye-opener.

For an ordinary college student, moving quietly without anything was difficult, unless they had "help" from professionals.

"Could be possible."

Duan Xueying nodded in agreement.

Don’t think because one attends a first-rate university they won’t be scammed; scams don’t discriminate based on education.

PhDs, business people, celebrities... countless elites have been scammed.

Never think you’re too smart.

The schemes of scammers are unimaginable. Not being conned simply means you haven’t encountered a scam tailored for you yet.

As the conversation turned to suspecting scam gangs, Jiang Chen fell silent.
