Chapter 784: Wang Jiang Attacks
‘So, I’ve got to resolve this if I can find a quick solution.
‘After all, I can’t be on the defensive forever.
‘I don’t want to live in fear everyday.
‘Not to mention... Although my parents are still traveling overseas, they can’t possibly remain overseas forever!’
However, even though Su Yang wanted to resolve it, he did not have a good solution. Hence, because of this issue, Su Yang suddenly thought of the Clown Sea Serpent, who was an expert in such situations and someone he could learn from.
Hence, Su Yang told the Clown Sea Serpent everything he knew about Wang Jiang.
As the Clown Sea Serpent listened quietly, the smile on his face did not diminish.
He asked Su Yang, “Master, there are many ways to resolve this, ranging from ruining his reputation to having him disappear without a trace. Which would you prefer?”
Su Yang was speechless when he heard this.
‘This guy is indeed an expert. I couldn’t even come up with a single method, yet he’s able to come up with so many at once?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang said, “Why don’t you give me a list? Give me all of your plans and I’ll slowly make my choice.”
The Clown Sea Serpent did not feel that this matter would be troublesome at all, so he smiled and bowed. “My pleasure, Master.”
Su Yang looked at the Clown Sea Serpent and added, “However, you better give me some reliable plans. Forget about plans that involve sniping on the streets. I’m not as stupid as Wang Jue.”
the Clown Sea Serpent laughed. “Don’t worry, Master. I’m not someone who doesn’t understand art.”
Su Yang nodded in satisfaction and returned to the virtual space.
After washing up, Su Yang climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning, Su Yang got up and stretched. Then, he picked up his glass phone by the window and sent Chu Xia a WeChat message. ‘I would like to say good morning to the world, but I only want to say I love you.’
The love of a liberal arts student was always so artistic.
This time, Chu Xia did not remain silent.
After a while, she replied with a line of poems.
‘In the luscious mountains and rivers, I held your hand and walked across a wooden bridge.
‘On the bridge are green trees with red flowers blooming, while there’s a house by the flowing river under the bridge.
‘One end of the bridge is black hair, the other end, white hair.’
Su Yang could not help but smile when he saw the little poem.
‘Chu Xia probably didn’t feel well last night and had gone to bed early.
‘Now that she’s woken up, she’s still as artistic and youthful as ever.’
Then, Su Yang took a look at his schedule and realized that he should be free that day, so he sent a WeChat message. ‘Chu Xia, do you want to have dinner tonight?’
On the other end of the phone, Chu Xia looked much calmer.
She was wearing her pajamas as she sat at the table, browsing. When she saw Su Yang’s WeChat message, she hesitated for a moment nervously, but in the end, she replied, ‘Okay. See you tonight then.’
When Su Yang saw that Chu Xia had agreed to his invitation, he couldn’t help but smile. ‘Today’s a really beautiful day.’
After washing up, Su Yang had a simple breakfast, which wasn’t much, only fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, pie, herbal egg, milk, sandwiches, etc.
After breakfast, Su Yang put on his clothes and left the hotel room. He wanted to go back to the villa to take a look. ‘Wang Jue and his bodyguards have been dealt with, so the surveillance in the villa should have ended. I should clean up and continue staying there again.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang closed the door to his room, pressed the elevator button, and went downstairs.
When he arrived at the hotel lobby, Su Yang noticed that there were not many people in the hotel that day.
Hence, he looked around curiously, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, so he just assumed that it was because it was a working day.
Thus, Su Yang did not take this matter to heart and walked out of the hotel.
However, just as he reached the hotel entrance and was about to leave, a man in black and sunglasses stopped him.
The man in black looked very polite, bowing to Su Yang before he said, “Hello, are you Mr. Su Yang?”
Su Yang looked at him and nodded. “You are?”
The man in black said, “I’m a bodyguard from the Wangs. Our boss would like to meet you.”
‘The Wangs?’
Su Yang frowned.
‘Is it Wang Jiang?
‘Does he want to see me?’
Su Yang looked in the direction that the man in black had indicated and saw an old man with white hair sitting on the sofa in the hotel reception area, who was looking at him.
The old man looked like he was in his 50s, had a rectangular face, and his eyebrows were like those of a tiger, making him look intimidating even without being angry. Plus, he had an air of superiority on him.
On the other hand, when he saw Su Yang looking over, he did not avoid his gaze.
Those eyes seemed to have a magical power that made one want to avoid them.
Thus, Su Yang looked at him, smiled, and nodded. “Sure.”
After that, Su Yang was led by the man in black to Wang Jiang.
Wang Jiang was wearing casual clothes that day. Other than his imposing manner, there was nothing special about him.
When Su Yang came before him, he gestured for Su Yang to sit down.
Hence, Su Yang sat down and said, “Old Master Wang?”
Wang Jiang nodded. “It seems that you know me very well.”
Su Yang smiled and said, “Well, you do always appear on television.” Then, he pointed at his head. “Plus, I’ve got a fairly good memory.”
Wang Jiang looked at Su Yang for a while and nodded.
“Do you know why I’m here?”
Even though Su Yang knew, he could not say it out loud. “Not really.”
Wang Jiang was not surprised by Su Yang’s answer. “My son went missing in Shanghai a few days ago. Before he disappeared, he had always been in contact with you.”
[Eye Of Origins] judged it as. [Testing...]
Hence, Su Yang pretended to be surprised when he saw the hint from the [Eye Of Origins]. “What? He was in contact with me? May I know what your son’s name is?”
In fact, there were no flaws in Su Yang’s performance, nor did Wang Jiang notice any. Thus, after a moment of silence, he said, “My son’s name is Wang Jue. Do you have any recollection of him?”
Su Yang looked hesitant. He thought for a while and shook his head. “I can’t recall. I’ve been busy with the company’s production line recently, so I’ve left all external matters to my employees and haven’t been in contact with many people. Amongst them, I’m very sure Wang Jue isn’t one of them.”
Hearing this, Wang Jiang fell silent again.
After a while, he seemed to have dropped his air of superiority and lowered his head as he said, “Su Yang, I’ve been working in the relevant department since I was in my 20s, which has been ongoing for decades.
“Because I’ve dedicated the first half of my life to the country, I haven’t been able to educate my son very well.
“In fact, I know that over the years, he has been using my name to behave arrogantly and cause trouble.
“But... He’s really not a bad person.”
“So, if he has done anything bad to you, I apologize on his behalf and hope that you can forgive him. Please don’t hold it against him.”
[Eye Of Origins] judged it as. [False...]
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I’ve got to admit, I wasn’t able to tell that Wang Jiang is putting on an act with my current standards. He’s able to portray the image of an old father who’s worried and guilty for his son’s actions so vividly that even a professional actor like myself couldn’t see any flaws at all.
‘However, the system wouldn’t lie...’
Hence, Su Yang could only shake his head secretly while feigning civility. “Old Master Wang, I believe that Young Master Wang has just been held up with something. So, there’s no need for you to be anxious, nor is there a need for you to overthink it.”
Hearing this, Wang Jiang raised his head, his eyes filled with hope. “Are you serious? He’s alright?”
Su Yang was stunned for a moment. “Erm, he should be fine.”
Su Yang paused for a moment before adding, “After all, youngsters nowadays like to play wherever they go, so it’s very normal.”
Hearing this, Wang Jiang lowered his head in silence.
After a while, he asked, “Then, do you think there’s a chance of him being alive?”
Su Yang was going a little crazy at that moment.
‘Wang Jiang’s acting skills may be good, but I shouldn’t be that bad myself. In fact, there should be no problems with my words and expressions. But, why does this old man keep on insisting that I’ve got something to do with his son’s disappearance?’
Hence, even though Su Yang did not understand what was going on, in order to confuse Wang Jiang, he had no choice but to say, “I’m not sure either. But, I think it should be possible. After all, the heavens would always favour the good.”
Hearing Su Yang’s words, Wang Jiang finally felt relieved.
Two drops of tears fell from his eyes as he said, “That’s good, that’s good.”
He looked as though whatever Su Yang said would come true.
Then, after wiping away his tears, Wang Jiang said a little embarrassedly, “I’m just concerned about my son. I’m really sorry for embarrassing myself in front of you.”
Su Yang quickly replied, “No, it’s alright. I understand.”
Wang Jiang smiled. “To be able to have a young and promising elite like you chat with me... My trip hasn’t been in vain then, I suppose.
“Jiadian Group is now the most important part of the country’s development.
“Therefore, if you want to establish a branch company or a new industrial park, you could consider Zhejiang Province.
“After all, we’re right next to Shanghai, so it’s very convenient.”
[Eye Of Origins] judged it as. [False]
Su Yang smiled. “No problem.”
Seeing that Su Yang had agreed, Wang Jiang smiled and stood up. “Alright, I won’t disturb you then. We’ll talk again when you reach Zhejiang Province.”
Su Yang stood up as well. “Sure, no problem.”
The two shook hands and then parted.
...
Turning around, Wang Jiang walked out of the hotel as if nothing had happened. There was a black sedan with a red flag and its number plate registered under Zhejiang Province parked outside the hotel. In fact, a man in a suit was already waiting there, opening the door for Wang Jiang.
Hence, Wang Jiang lowered his head and entered.
After that, the man in the suit closed the door for Wang Jiang, then opened the passenger seat and got in before the car started and drove away from the hotel.
The other bodyguards following Wang Jiang got into the car and followed behind the one with the red flag.
Sitting in the car, Wang Jiang sat at the back and looked out the window silently.
The man in the passenger seat and the driver did not dare disturb him. Hence, they could only pretend they were wooden dolls.
After a while, Wang Jiang said, “Head to the Sea Bridge.” His voice was hoarse and low, and there seemed to be an unconcealable sadness in it.
The man in the front passenger seat quickly replied, “Understood.”
After agreeing, the man in the suit observed Wang Jiang in the rearview mirror for a while. In the end, he could not hold back his curiosity and asked carefully, “Old Master Wang, are you... Alright?”
Wang Jiang forced a smile on his face. “I’m fine. I’ve expected this to happen.”
As the secretary and driver of a big shot like Wang Jiang, they were obviously trusted subordinates. Therefore, although the matter was a little sensitive, the secretary deliberated for a moment before asking, “Do you mean...”
“Sigh...” Wang Jiang sighed. “Juejue should be dead.”
The secretary was stunned for a moment before blurting out, “Surely not?”
Wang Jiang laughed as two streams of tears flowed down his face...
...
At the middle section of the Sea Bridge...
As a bridge that runs across the sea, you wouldn’t be able to stop your car there under normal circumstances. But, sometimes, there are no boundaries when it comes to being a part of the authorities...
Hence, at Wang Jiang’s request, the entire bridge was locked down for 10 minutes.
During these 10 minutes, the black sedan arrived at the section of the Sea Bridge where Wang Jue had disappeared.
‘This is the area where the tsunami happened.’
Then, the car with the red flag stopped, followed by the man in the suit getting down and opening the car door for Wang Jiang. Then, he stood aside with his head lowered.
After that, Wang Jiang slowly got out of the car and walked to the shore. He walked to the railings and looked at the surging seawater, plus the long bridge. Then, his eyes turned red and tears started to fall again.
After a while, he opened his mouth and cried out to the sea, “Juejue! Daddy is here to see you!”
...
In the hotel, Su Yang returned to his room.
In fact, Wang Jiang’s appearance had disrupted all his plans, making Su Yang feel wary of the old man.
With his silver ability, Su Yang managed to get a good grasp of Wang Jiang’s mentality. ‘Wang Jiang didn’t believe me no matter what I said just now. Plus, the strange thing is... The more I spoke, the more certain he was that I’m his enemy.’
Su Yang, who did not know what went wrong, could only attribute all of this to Wang Jiang’s terrifying “intuition” and “experience”.
‘Perhaps this old man has experienced too many schemes and plots in his life, so he could see right through people’s hearts.
‘Therefore, even though I refuse to admit it, it’s a fact that this old man is extremely dangerous.
‘The Wangs of Zhejiang Province... The King Of Zhejiang... They’re way too powerful...
‘I’ve got to get rid of this problem as soon as possible.’
At that thought, Su Yang sent a voice message to the Clown Sea Serpent and asked if he had written down his plan.
The Clown Sea Serpent quickly replied that he was done.
After that, he sent Su Yang a copy of “100 Ways For Wang Jiang To Die”.
There were all kinds of accidental “deaths” and silent “suicides”, which was bone-chilling when read.
Especially with Su Yang’s various magical items, it could even be said to be 100 perfect “suicide” plans.
After Su Yang took a look, he only had one thought in his mind. ‘I should stay away from the Clown Sea Serpents in the future. That guy seems to be like a pervert!
‘No... He doesn’t “seem to be like” a pervert, he literally is one!
‘Furthermore, the system’s evaluation of him being proficient in various ways of killing was not wrong.
‘After all... The system’s definition of “proficiency” is different from that of ordinary people.
‘This guy is definitely a master in the art of killing!’
With that kind of praise, Su Yang kept the list for the time being. He planned to have someone keep an eye on Wang Jiang and find an opportunity to see if Wang Jiang was planning to take revenge or how he was going to take revenge. Then, he would deal with this matter in a conservative manner.
Hence, because of Wang Jiang’s incident, Su Yang was not in the mood to clean up the villa. Instead, he stayed in the hotel room and talked to Little Deeny and the Clown Sea Serpent for a day about Wang Jiang. Furthermore, he had arranged for Little Deeny to gather as much information and clues as possible.
Thus, the day passed with Su Yang making his preparations nervously.
At night, it was time for Su Yang and Chu Xia to meet.
Hence, Su Yang temporarily put Wang Jiang’s matter to the back of his mind. Then, he left the hotel room, got into the car, and went to pick Chu Xia up from school, who was waiting at the school gate at that moment.
She was wearing a red dress, and looked beautiful, but there was a maturity that did not match her style. On top of that, there was also a hint of melancholy between her brows.
