Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 1520: Chapter 1520: An Apathetic Demeanor

At around eleven at night, Jiang Guangrong straightened up and started to wake. He looked up and saw that everyone at the table was almost gone. Except for himself, only Tian Jue and Sherman remained at the table.

Jiang Guangrong glanced at Sunx Han’s empty seat and noticed Sunx Han’s coat draped over him. He felt a bit warm inside. Jiang Guangrong apologized to Tian Jue and Sherman, "I’m sorry, I drank too much and slept too much. Has everyone left? Why didn’t you wake me? What are you waiting for here? You should have gone back to rest earlier!"

Tian Jue shrugged, "Miss Sunx said you weren’t drunk, just fell asleep."

Sherman’s face was filled with sadness and anger. Tears welled up, "They—they are all dead, all dead!"

Jiang Guangrong quivered his eyebrow. Of course, Jiang Guangrong knew who Sherman was talking about. Jiang Guangrong first expressed apologies, then feigned indifference. He leaned back in his chair, resting his legs on the table, "I know!"

Sherman widened his eyes at Jiang Guangrong, "Was it your order or Li Mubai’s?"

Jiang Guangrong nodded, his expression conveying, "I asked Mubai to get someone to do it. Without my order, Mubai wouldn’t dare do such a thing."

"Why?" Sherman stood up from the chair. His entire body was agitated, as if mirroring Jiang Guangrong’s earlier state in the restroom, "Them! They just helped you. Why give such an order? Why?"

Jiang Guang sniffed lightly, eyes showing a hint of impatience, but quickly feigned anger. He stood up from the chair and looked at Sherman, "Miss Sherman! I want to ask you, do you know what kind of organization you’ve joined?"

Sherman lowered his head in despair, "I know..."

"No! What you don’t know!" Jiang Guangrong interrupted Sherman, "Since you don’t know, let me tell you now, you’ve joined a substantial organization! You are underground now! It’s underground! Not a charity! I’ll tell you the truth, if this matter is discovered by interested people, then not only you, I will be following you until the end! To avoid such risks, I must eliminate all unknown factors! Do you understand?"

"But!" Sherman wiped his tears with his right hand, "But you’re too reckless, aren’t you?"

"Desperate? Then let me ask you, do you think about sacrificing five passions, or letting the whole Xingwu Gang, including you and me, die together? Jiang Guang slapped the table with both hands.

"But it doesn’t have to happen, does it?"

Jiang Guangrong kicked the chair beside him to the ground, "In this situation, you want to try to remedy it? You should remember we’re working underground, not at the Red Beauty Association, where you’re either eating or being eaten! You may not have known how cruel it is to mix underground. Now I’ll give you another chance. Do you choose to stay at Xingwu Gang or leave? If you choose to stay at Xingwu Gang, then shut your mouth. If you choose to leave, well, then you can go out now!"

Sherman was silent.

They remained silent for over ten minutes. Sherman’s tears had dried. At this time, Sherman just looked out the window at night. Sherman also felt hesitant in his heart. Sherman didn’t know whether to stay at Xingwu Gang or return to the days of being bullied.

Jiang Guangrong came over, patted Sherman on the shoulder, and sighed heavily, "I’ve told you, you’ve joined Xingwu Gang for over a week, right? You should have heard more or less about Xingwu Gang. When I just joined Xingwu Gang, because of a disagreement with Big Sister after a big incident, wanting to kill Big Sister, but I saw Big Sister’s daughter, about five years old, and I couldn’t bear it, so I begged Big Sister to let her go. After the argument, Big Sister still let Big Spy, hehe, but unfortunately, later I heard one of the reasons for the Revitalization Association’s success was Qingyun and the cooperation of former gang’s Adaa in calculating successfully against Big Sister was Big Spy, because Big Spy told the Revitalization Association about Miss’s rest time and the mobilization of other members of their gang. Do you know how regretful I was at that time? You say if I didn’t have a kind heart then, wouldn’t Big Sister have been tricked by those bad people? After all this happened, do you think there’s anything I can do to make up for it?"

Sherman stared blankly at Jiang Guangrong. Sherman had already heard about the relationship between Jiang Guangrong and Zheng Xueyun. At this moment, when Sherman heard Jiang Guangrong’s words, he could imagine how regretful and remorseful Jiang Guangrong was.

Jiang Guangrong sighed again, "What do you think?"

Sherman was silent for a while longer, and finally made up his mind, "I’ll continue going to Passion Bar tomorrow!"

"Okay! That’s good. It’s late. Rest early!"

Sherman nodded and walked out with a complicated heart. As Sherman walked to the door, Tian Jue just came in. They both nodded lightly.

After Sherman left, Tian Jue asked suspiciously, "Was what you said true?"

"It’s fake!"

"Oh? You won’t deceive other girls, will you?" Tian Jue suddenly laughed.

Jiang Guangrong pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Tian Jue, "Sister Jue, weren’t you taking people to drive? Plus, eavesdropping is impolite!"

Tian Jue looked innocently at Jiang Guangrong, "What am I doing? I didn’t hear anything! I’m asking whether what you just said is true.

Tian Jue’s main job now is to be Jiang Guangrong’s bodyguard, and the place he lives is just across the door from Jiang Guangrong.

Since they both drank, they were driven by a brother from Xingwu Gang.

They sat in the car without speaking. They both sat in the car, thinking about things.

After a while, Tian Jue returned to his thoughts. Tian Jue looked back at Jiang Guangrong and said, "Which little girl are you thinking about?"

"Do you know?" Jiang Guangrong was stunned

Tian Jue was also stunned, "My goodness, are you really thinking about that little girl?"

"Hahaha." Jiang Guangrong laughed. "Look at the report from the Adaa Daily: Yanghe City’s next bank leader has changed. The new chief from above is Ji Ruxiao. He is from the Ji Family! I know Ji Ruxiao. I just find it strange that someone with such a good background and strong abilities could come to Yanghe. And I was chased before in the capital. I think the Ji Family also participated in this matter. If Ji Ruxiao comes here at this critical moment, would the Ji Family economically balance me..."

Tian Jue shook his head, "Just you? Do you think sacrificing a direct descendant of the Ji Family to balance your current strength is worth it? Don’t be too narcissistic! The Ji Family is a large family, there will be disputes within a large family. Maybe Ji Ruxiao is just a sacrifice in the Ji Family’s internal struggle?"

"Precisely..." Jiang Guangrong let out a sigh of relief.

Tian Jue looked at the night scenery outside the car and suddenly said, "Stop!"

"What happened?" Jiang Guangrong looked at the guards outside the car.

"It’s nothing. This is pretty much the place. You can accompany me for a walk!" Tian Jue waited for the car to stop, opened the car door, and got down without waiting for Jiang Guangrong’s reaction.

Jiang Guangrong gave a strange look at Tian Jue’s back and followed.

Jiang Guangrong hurriedly walked behind Tian Jue, curiously watching her. His mind was blank and he hadn’t noticed Tian Jue.

Tian Jue slowed down and softly said, "Two days ago, I agreed to Zhao Junkai’s pursuit!"

Jiang Guangrong was first stunned, then nodded, "I’ve heard that Junkai is very kind, handsome, gentle, and surrounded by female assassins. If I were a woman, I would agree!"

"Haha..." Tian Jue laughed.

Jiang Guangrong felt that tonight, Tian Jue had peculiar things about her, "What’s wrong, Sister Tian Jue?"

Tian Jue stopped and looked back at Jiang Guangrong, "Do you know why I follow you, regardless of life and death, without complaint or regret?"
