NOVPUB"Fuck, I really didn’t think those bastards would be so desperate to take me out!"
"But they didn’t expect that I could survive, did they?"
Jiang Wanli’s eyes flickered with a fierce light.
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Zhou Long, saw the latter’s pale face, and sweat pouring down like rain, chuckled and said, "Look how scared you are, old man. I’m not dead, am I?"
"Speaking of which, I owe it to you for taking me out for a drive that I can pick up my life again."
"Otherwise, I’d be cold by now!"
He wasn’t afraid of death. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Because once you’re dead, you can’t feel anything, whether it’s pain or fear.
But now.
A strong sense of fear and relief rose in his heart.
Zhou Long, shockingly coming to his senses, asked tremblingly, "Big brother, do you believe some people can foresee the future?"
Jiang Wanli furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Long took out a cigarette, lit it with shaky hands, took a drag, and tried to calm himself down before saying, "The afternoon before yesterday, I went to the People’s Hospital to visit a subordinate, and I ran into Mr. Chen at the hospital entrance."
"The same tough guy who hurt my brother."
"So I stopped the car and offered to give him a ride home."
"What I didn’t expect was that he actually agreed."
"I can’t tell you how happy I was, because if I could climb up that relationship, big brother, your situation would get a bit easier."
Jiang Wanli listened quietly.
He knew about Chen Nan’s strength and had been investigating his background these days.
But he had found nothing, only that he was a rich second-generation.
Went to the mountain to cultivate two years ago, and nothing else is known.
Zhou Long continued, "On the way, Mr. Chen suddenly asked me if I wanted to work for him."
"He even promised me unimaginable power and wealth."
"But... I refused."
Jiang Wanli’s eyes showed a complex look, "A Long, you need to learn to change, and you don’t owe me anything anymore."
"Even if I gave you a bowl of rice back then, you’ve saved me from danger more than once."
"This debt of gratitude has long been repaid."
"From the bottom of my heart, as your big brother, I hope you can have a better future."
Zhou Long shook his head: "Without that bowl of rice from big brother back then, how could I have survived till today?"
Jiang Wanli sighed softly, then changed the subject: "And then?"
Zhou Long’s eyes revealed a terrified look: "Mr. Chen suddenly told me, he said that if I could lure you out of the office this morning, I could repay your kindness."
"At first, I didn’t understand what he meant."
"But now, I understand."
"He saw a calamity in your fate through my facial features."
Jiang Wanli’s face turned ashen, and his muscular frame trembled at this moment, he looked at Zhou Long in shock: "Is all this you’re saying true?"
Zhou Long swallowed hard: "Every word is true!"
"Seeing my fate through my facial features... This... This isn’t foreseeing the future, this is downright godlike!"
Jiang Wanli felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He naturally believed that there were extraordinary people in the world who could see a person’s future opportunities and fate through their facial features.
But.
Chen Nan had never even met him, to read his fate on Zhou Long’s face, a ability that was beyond the reach of mere mortals.
Zhou Long hesitated and said nervously, "Big brother, Mr. Chen’s abilities are incredible. Although he only wanted me to work for him, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for us all to pledge allegiance to him!"
Jiang Wanli snapped back to reality amid the shock, his expression grave: "The question is, does he want to take me in?"
Although he had never met Chen Nan.
But at this moment.
Jiang Wanli felt an immense respect and awe for Chen Nan.
He too wished to pledge allegiance to Chen Nan, seeking a powerful backer, but he had no clue about Chen Nan’s thoughts.
Zhou Long said, "If big brother is willing to pledge allegiance to Mr. Chen, he probably wouldn’t refuse, after all, my influence can’t compare to yours."
"He’s surely aware of who is more important."
Jiang Wanli nodded slightly, and said, "No matter what, Mr. Chen has saved my life. I should thank him in person."
Zhou Long glanced at the time, "The school’s class will also end soon. Let’s head to Jizhou First Middle School now. I reckon by the time we get there, Mr. Chen will be finishing up his class, too."
Jiang Wanli: "Alright, then let’s go to Jizhou First Middle School."
His face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with intense nervousness and unease.
Because the person he was going to meet was not only his lifesaver, but also a miraculous individual who could foresee the future.
He didn’t know if the other party was willing to see him.
Even more uncertain.
Was whether he would take him in.
If Chen Nan didn’t take him in, then his situation would become very passive.
------
Jizhou First Middle School.
Senior Year, Class Seven.
Jiang Yan suddenly felt a faint notification sound from her phone. She nervously took it out from under her desk, but this action drew the attention of the homeroom teacher.
This made her face show an embarrassed expression.
Fortunately, the homeroom teacher did not say much, as if having seen nothing at all, and continued teaching the class.
It wasn’t that the homeroom teacher didn’t want to discipline Jiang Yan—after all, the use of phones was banned for the entire senior year.
But...
Jiang Yan’s family background was too intimidating; he couldn’t afford to offend her.
So he pretended not to see.
Seeing that the homeroom teacher ignored her, Jiang Yan boldly turned on her phone, only to furrow her brow at the message that appeared.
It was a tracking message.
She would receive a notification whenever her father appeared nearby.
She had secretly downloaded a tracking app on her father’s phone that could locate his position.
However.
Jiang Yan didn’t understand why her father would be outside the school.
Thinking of this.
She couldn’t help but shudder, an ominous premonition quickly taking hold.
At that moment.
She suddenly realized.
Her father must have come to school because of Chen Nan.
He must have heard about yesterday’s incident and wanted to exact revenge on her behalf.
Yes.
That had to be it.
Otherwise, her father would never come to the school on a whim.
"Damn it, just who let slip the events of last night?" A strong wave of anger rose in Jiang Yan’s heart.
But all of that no longer mattered.
What was important was preventing her father from meeting Chen Nan, otherwise the consequences were unimaginable.
Just then.
The urgent ringing of the class-ending bell sounded.
Not waiting for the homeroom teacher to announce the end of class, Jiang Yan rushed out, which aroused the curiosity of her classmates. After all, although Jiang Yan was the precious daughter of the East City big boss, she also had excellent academic performance and manners.
Her actions today were indeed baffling.
Jiang Yan ran straight to the entrance of Senior Year, Class One, and just as the English teacher emerged, she politely greeted her before entering the classroom. After looking around, she found Chen Nan and breathlessly said, "Chen Nan, come with me a moment."
In an instant.
All eyes in Senior Year, Class One were focused on Chen Nan.
Their eyes were filled with envy.
In the entire Jizhou First Middle School, there were only three girls worthy of the title of school beauty.
Who could have imagined that even Jiang Yan was now connected to him?
This luck with women, who wouldn’t envy?
