The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 838: Forgot His Old Profession (1)

Country Y.

As night fell, the chill intensified.

The lighting was dim, and rustling sounds echoed in the living room.

Chu Chen heard the noise and went downstairs to check the situation.

He didn’t turn on the light immediately, and the surrounding darkness was so deep that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

Suddenly.

A shadow darted through the kitchen, his eyes darkened as he quietly walked over.

"Who’s there?"

"Who?"

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously, with a hint of probing and sharpness.

In an instant, Chu Chen recognized the person across from him just by their voice.

"Aqian, why are you back? Weren’t you handling business?"

As he spoke, he reached out to the wall, turned on the light, and dispelled the kitchen’s darkness.

The person opposite him bathed in the light, revealing his sharp features and deep-set eyes—it was indeed the person who had just gone to Country F two days ago.

Ji Mingqian gave him a sidelong glance, reached into the fridge, and took out two cans of beer.

"Thunk."

The pull tab of the can was yanked open, and Ji Mingqian tilted his head back to take a sip of cold beer.

Soon after, he said, "Everything’s been handled, and the deals over there can proceed normally. That old fox Lei Se won’t dare interfere with our K organization anymore."

"You’ve resolved it so quickly?" A rare look of astonishment appeared on Chu Chen’s typically cold face.

"What did you do to him?"

Lei Se, the old fox, was always cunning, ill-tempered, and notoriously difficult to deal with. Yet, in just two days, he managed to resolve the matter.

"Don’t worry, I’m not so ruthless." Ji Mingqian pulled out a pizza he had bought on the way, taking a bite of a slice in his hand, "Lei Se has only one son, his precious gem. The son, using his father’s name, caused quite a lot of trouble, and when he crossed paths with me, why not use the opportunity?"

If not for this delay, he would have flown to the capital earlier.

"Did you kidnap his son to threaten him?" Chu Chen asked.

After finishing a slice of pizza in two or three bites, Ji Mingqian grabbed another, "Kidnap? No. When I arrived, his son was already at our casino, lost a pile of money and was drunk and belligerent, smashing up our casino. How could Lei Se ignore that?"

"Later, Lei Se paid up to ransom his son, and I had a little chat with him. I dug up all the dirt on his family lineage; with his secrets in my grip, how could he dare oppose me?" he said nonchalantly.

Chu Chen, "..."

He counted everything but forgot about this, forgot about his old tricks.

He tentatively asked, "Then why did you rush back overnight?"

Ajiu said to keep him busy for two more days, and now, it seemed even half a day was tough.

"Just to tell you about this and grab some luggage." After finishing a can of beer, Ji Mingqian was nearly done eating, and he washed his hands while speaking.

"Grab luggage?" Chu Chen asked knowingly, "Where are you going?"

"Country M," he replied candidly.

His phone couldn’t get through, and had Ajiu not kept saying it was fine, he would have flown to Country M long ago; how could he have waited until now?

Chu Chen sensed trouble brewing, gave a dry laugh, and said, "Aqian, how about we discuss something?"

Ji Mingqian turned his eyes to him, examining him with a slight scrutinizing gaze, "Laughing so maliciously, must be something sneaky going on. Let me be clear, let’s talk in a few days, I need to rush to Country M now."

"It’s nothing major, just that headquarters has been busy lately, and if you’d stay a couple more days?" Chu Chen said slowly.

Hearing this, Ji Mingqian shook his hands, swiftly walked outside, like he would get entangled if he moved a bit slower, "Forget it, I’ve settled the Lei Se issue, staying two more days, you wish."

He must be thinking of dumping the headquarters’ matters on him so he can take Anuo on a trip.

"Hey, Aqian, headquarters has really been busy lately, could you stay a couple more days? Besides, he’s in Country M, he can’t escape, no rush to go over, what’s the hurry?" Chu Chen chased him out of the kitchen, continuing to persuade him.

"Anuo is with you every day, of course, it’s easy to speak without pain in your back." Ji Mingqian paused, turned his head to look at him, and said with a slightly resentful tone.

"It’s been days, he hasn’t answered my calls, you tell me, should I not be anxious?"

Chu Chen stopped, meeting his gaze, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Well, maybe it’s just bad signal, Ajiu is there too, you could ask her, couldn’t you?"

"I’m not talking to you, anyway, I’m going to Country M now. If you can’t handle the headquarters’ matters, send them to my computer, I’ll deal with them after I find the person." Ji Mingqian said while heading upstairs, unable to sit still for another moment, eager to see that person immediately.

Chu Chen opened his mouth, watching his retreating back, unsure how to keep him.

He was determined to leave, and nothing he said now would help.

After thinking over it, he hurriedly ran upstairs.

Forget it, better discuss it with Ajiu.

He opened the bedroom door, and the light inside was on; Gu Xinuo had been awakened by their conversation.

"Is Aqian back?" She sat on the bed, her sleepy eyes looking at him, asking softly.

Chu Chen nodded, picked up his phone, and called Ye Jiuliang. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Is something wrong?" Gu Xinuo approached, noticing his serious expression, feeling an ominous premonition.

"Aqian is now heading to Country M," Chu Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinuo was stunned, "Does he know?"

Chu Chen shook his head, explaining, "Lei Se’s issue was resolved, and Yisheng hasn’t answered his calls these days, he’s eager to find someone."

At this time, the call connected.

Without further ado, he got straight to the point, "Ajiu, Aqian is heading over to you."

On the other end, Ye Jiuliang was strolling in the courtyard when she heard Chu Chen’s words and paused.

"Wasn’t he in Country F?"

"Everything’s resolved, he returned overnight, and now he’s packing his luggage," Chu Chen said.

"Can’t you hold him for two more days?"

"If I could, I wouldn’t be calling you."

Ye Jiuliang frowned, raising her eyes to look at the person beside her, and seeing her expression, Li Mochan understood the situation too.

"Let him be," he said.

If they continue blocking him, he will sense something amiss; secrets can’t be hidden forever, and what’s meant to be known will be known.

Ye Jiuliang shifted her gaze, her red lips slightly pursed, "Achen, let him come."

"I understand," Chu Chen said softly, "Should we tell him?"

Ye Jiuliang replied, "No, once he arrives, he will know what he needs to."

Letting him know this late might cause something unexpected, better to wait until he arrives to discuss it.

Ending the call, Ye Jiuliang’s face couldn’t muster a smile either.

"Mohan, Aqian will be here tomorrow."

Li Mochan reached out to pinch her cheek, gently spoke, "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight, take it one step at a time."
