NOVEL NEXT Chapter 231
Chapter 231: So Next, I’ll Leave It to You, Young Master!
“Mines?” Hearing his mother’s words, Jiang Che was also a little surprised.
These things are rare resources and are considered scarce resources not only in the entire Jiuzhou but also worldwide.
Their value is immeasurable. If the Jiang family can really secure this mine, then the family’s assets will increase by several billion. No one would refuse money, so Jiang Che was very willing to handle this matter.
“That’s right. I’ve been quite busy recently and haven’t had time to go, so you go for me.” Su Shanshan said with a faint smile, feeling very assured about Jiang Che.
She had noticed the changes in Jiang Che over this period. He was no longer the little boy who needed her protection in everything; he had become a significant figure capable of handling matters independently.
Giving this task to Jiang Che was also a kind of training for him. It would be best if he succeeded, and it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t.
“I’ll handle my current affairs as soon as possible and then go there.” Jiang Che pondered for a while and said. Right now, he hadn’t dealt with Li Tian yet, so he couldn’t just rush to Linjiang City.
Otherwise, who knows what Li Tian might do when he returns? After all, the protagonist’s luck isn’t just for show; they can encounter all sorts of influential beauties even on a casual outing.
“Okay, I’ll find a way to stall the people over there. You hurry up.” Su Shanshan nodded and said. She didn’t ask what Jiang Che had been busy with lately; that wasn’t her concern.
What she needed to do was provide financial support when Jiang Che needed money. After chatting with his mother for a few more moments, Jiang Che got up and left the office. He walked downstairs, took out his phone, and dialed Li Chengfeng’s number.
“Boss, what’s up?” The call was quickly connected, and Li Chengfeng’s puzzled voice came from the other end.
“Where is Li Tian now?” Jiang Che asked straightforwardly.
“I don’t know. Since that day when you gave him a good beating and kicked him out of the Li family, I haven’t seen him.” Li Chengfeng said excitedly. Every time he talked about this, he felt immense admiration for Jiang Che.
He hadn’t expected his boss to be hiding such impressive martial arts skills.
“Is that so…” Hearing Li Chengfeng’s response, Jiang Che squinted slightly.
It seemed Li Tian was hiding to recuperate. After all, he hadn’t gone easy on him last time. Originally, he had planned to leave Li Tian alone for a few more days, but now that he had to hurry to Tianhai City, it seemed unnecessary.
Once this guy recovered, he would deal with him directly.
“Keep me informed about Li Tian’s situation.” After giving a few instructions, Jiang Che hung up the phone, got into his Bugatti, and drove back to Crouching Dragon Villa.
…
Crouching Dragon Villa, living room.
“Young Master, you’re back.” As soon as Jiang Che entered the living room, Ah Qing ran over from a distance and collided with him.
She was wearing a short floral skirt and white stockings, her face beaming with a happy smile.
“What, you missed me after just half a day?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and looked at Ah Qing playfully. He noticed that this little maid was becoming increasingly clingy, though only towards him.
“That’s right, I haven’t seen Young Master for five hours and forty-three minutes.” Ah Qing nodded seriously, her small face earnest. She said it very matter-of-factly.
She realized that she couldn’t be without her young master. It was fine when he was home. But whenever Jiang Che left, she couldn’t help but miss him, wishing she could be by his side twenty-four hours a day.
However, she also knew that her young master had his own matters to attend to every day. As his close maid, she wouldn’t make unreasonable demands. She would simply make delicious meals at home and wait for him to come back.
“Where is Menglan?” Jiang Che looked around the living room, not seeing Ji Menglan’s figure, and asked curiously.
“Sister Menglan is practicing in the training room. Why, Young Master, are you looking for Sister Menglan? Isn’t Ah Qing good enough?” Ah Qing’s face was filled with grievance, her big eyes showing a pitiful expression, as if she would cry if Jiang Che didn’t give a reasonable explanation.
“Don’t overthink it.” Jiang Che lightly tapped Ah Qing’s head, knowing she was just teasing him. She wasn’t the jealous type.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept Ji Menglan around, or the two women bickering all the time would drive him crazy.
“It hurts, Young Master is such a bad guy!” Ah Qing pouted and jumped out of Jiang Che’s arms. For some reason, her face suddenly turned a bit red, looking somewhat abnormal.
“Young Master…”
“What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Che frowned, looking at Ah Qing, not understanding her sudden change in behavior. She was fine just a moment ago, but now she seemed different.
“My cold ailment is acting up again. Can Young Master help me?” Ah Qing said coquettishly, her big eyes filled with charm.
She sat down on the sofa nearby, took off her little shoes, and placed her white silk feet on the side of the coffee table.
“Acting up again? How long has it been since the last treatment? It seems your condition has worsened quite a bit recently…” Seeing Ah Qing like this, Jiang Che said seriously.
He hadn’t expected her rapid improvement in cultivation to leave such a hidden ailment.
“Yes, Young Master, please help me~” Ah Qing nodded shyly, not wanting to admit it, but Jiang Che was right.
She also felt that her frequent cold ailment attacks were mainly due to the rapid improvement in her cultivation recently.
“No problem, it’s my duty.”
“So next, I’ll leave it to you, Young Master!”
