Wealthy Chapter 188

“D*mn, you’re a beggar, carrying such a pile of dimes on you, you just asked for them today?” Haozi rummaged through Baldy’s entire body again, but found nothing.

“D*mn it, how can you be so poor. All right, you won’t be using earthly money anyway, so here’s a dime for you, save it for the Yellow Springs.” Haozi smiled fiercely and took a coin and stuffed it in Baldy’s pocket.

Baldy and I exchanged a quick flash of vision before we were wheeled into the villa.

The villa was just a very ordinary holiday villa; after entering through the foyer, there was a tree-lined atrium with a very small tea pavilion under two tall acacia trees, and a man with a long, happy figure and a refined air, dressed in dark grey silk pyjamas, was sitting in the tea pavilion by the pool, witnessing the three of us being escorted in.

I kept my eyes on the man and thought to myself that he couldn’t be Jiang Ming.

I had seen Jiang Ming’s photo, and Xia Gehuai had pulled it out and shown it to me, but it was only a photo from an ID card, and it looked seven or eight percent similar to the man in front of me, but I still couldn’t believe that this man could be the real killer of my parents’ death.

The three of us were escorted to the man, with our backs to the pool, and Haozi gave us a kick each, telling us to kneel down.

I looked up at him with a deadly stare, and the man took one look at me, too, and our eyes collided and exploded with a shocking fury.

“You’re Zhang Jun’s son.”

At the same time, I gritted my teeth and said, “You, you are Jiang Ming?!”

I had imagined many times what it would be like to meet Jiang Ming head on, but never thought it would be like this. This man’s temperament was greatly unexpected, not only was he not treacherous, but he was also civilized and polite, not like a triad boss, but like a teacher.

Haozi kicked me in the back and said in a bad mood, “You called Ming by his name too, you F**k, now you’re dead clear. Ming, how to clean him up, you explain.”

I straightened up with a ragged breath and saw that Jiang Ming was smiling and shaking his head at Haozi, how could he be so smart not to know that Haozi was just trying to shake the pot?

“No rush, I’m catching up with my old friend’s son, and I’ll have Zhang Chao bring a few words down to his dad later. You guys retreat to the side first, I’ll call you if something comes up.”

He didn’t want to get involved in our business, and when Jiang Ming gave the order, he immediately withdrew to the side with a few people.

Jiang Ming’s eyes traced over the faces of the three of us, then smiled and said to Baldy, “Xu Changsheng, Elder Seizure of the Yunya Sect has taught you well, only if you don’t go back, your little sister will be getting married, aren’t you worried? You weren’t meant to be in this muddy water, so why do you need to get involved.”

This was the first time I knew that Baldy’s real name was Xu Changsheng, and Chu Xiaoxiao and I both looked at Baldy in surprise; if Jiang Ming hadn’t said it, I was afraid I would have thought that Baldy’s real name was Baldy.

Baldy gritted his teeth and the veins on his face were strained, but he couldn’t say a word, so it seemed that what Jiang Ming said was true.

What with the Cloud Cliff School and the Upside Down Elders, it sounded like something out of a martial arts novel. I had long felt that Baldy must have a mastery of his extraordinary skills, I just didn’t expect it to be so complicated. Zhao Zichen is also really powerful, such a Jianghu hermit, how on earth did he let him search for it, pulling close to the Red Lantern Society to mix with the underworld.

Soon, Jiang Ming’s eyes turned to Chu Xiaoxiao’s face and said, “Chu Huaien owes five hundred million, a sum he can’t pay back, right, and can only rely on financing. But his reputation is so rotten, who else is willing to finance him. It seems that Chu Huaien can only ask you to think of a way on Zhang Jun’s body.”

Chu Xiaoxiao was not good-natured and immediately retorted, “My family’s affairs are none of your business, you’re a big man who loves to pry, why don’t you become an entertainment reporter? I’m not borrowing money from you, you’re really a carrot and a carrot.”

Not to mention Jiang Ming, I didn’t even expect Chu Xiaoxiao to bare Jiang Ming a bit.

Jiang Ming smiled blandly, “You don’t want to borrow money from me, I want to lend you money. I can’t take out five hundred million, but it’s still possible to lend a bridging fund to Chu Huaien. One hundred million, as long as you nod, I’ll give it to you.”

Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned and a little confused, but she immediately reacted and looked at me seriously before rushing at Jiang Ming and saying, “Then go talk to my dad, I wouldn’t dare borrow a hundred million from you, I can’t afford to pay it back either. I know what you’re playing at, you just can’t get over with Zhang, where am I worth a hundred million, you’re deliberately trying to disgust Zhang Chao.”

Unexpectedly, being seen through by Chu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Ming did not panic and slowly pulled open the drawer of the coffee table, then took out a gun and put it on the table.

Chu Xiaoxiao’s face turned white and asked, “What do you mean?”

Jiang Ming said, “You’re right, I’m not looking at your face with this 100 million, I’m buying Zhang Chao’s life.”

Chu Xiaoxiao’s figure swayed and her whole body shrank back a little, her head shook like a rattle, “You want me to kill Zhang Chao? Dream on, you might as well kill me!”

I wanted to rea*sure Chu Xiaoxia that it would be fine, that I would bring her safely out of here. But Jiang Ming saw Chu Xiaoxiao’s fearful look and his whole body perked up as he waved his gun between the three of us.

“Killing you, ah, I’ve also considered that having Zhang Chao kill you with his own hands would be painful for Zhang Chao. He, ah, looks almost exactly like his father. Zhang Chao, your father and I have been old rivals for many years, and as the saying goes, the one who knows you best must be your rival, and I can claim to be the one who knows your father best. You don’t know how happy I was when I found out that Zhang Jun had a son, especially when I knew that you were smart and not a rich straw man, I was simply overjoyed. After all these years, I’ve had no rival since your dad died, it’s really boring, a long and boring life, like a life sentence ……”

Jiang Ming was as happy as if he was on drugs and kept rambling on.

“As soon as I found out Zhang Chao existed, I was so happy. I had to meet you, little friend. So as soon as I heard that the people underneath me were going to round you up tonight, I planned this play for today, and to my surprise, I even caught a big fish by accident, and the boss of the Red Lantern Society fell into my net… Zhang Chao, you’re really good, even the head of the Red Lantern Society has taken up the fight for you personally.”

I was taken aback, I thought Jiang Ming was mainly after Zhao Zichen, but I was his main target!

“Heh, then you still let Haozi kill me. Didn’t you want to meet me?” I said.

Jiang Ming pressed his hands on my shoulders and laughed, “Gotta test what you can do. If you would die under Ho Zi’s hands, then you don’t deserve to be my toy. Kid, you’re qualified, and you’re probably better than your dad.”
