199: Chapter 199: Why Not Together?
Five minutes later.
Su He and several others were taken to a private room on another level.
Jiang Feng and Fei Xu stood outside the room.
The two shouted in unison: “Young Madam, Master.”
Then, Jiang Feng opened the door.
Before entering, Su He grabbed Jiang Yan’s hand.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Yan turned to look at her, feeling her nervousness as she was holding his hand tightly.
He clasped her hand back, his warm large palm enveloping her small one.
He knew what she was worried about and said soothingly, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any mistake.”
Initially, when she told him about it, although she didn’t want him to intervene, he still had Fei Xu arrange for people to secretly look into it while also investigating some related matters.
Actually, this was mostly thanks to Ye Jiuqing’s previous reminder that Su He had been kidnapped before, which led him to follow this clue.
Of course, during the investigation, he found out that Chi Tian was hard to track because he had a master of disguise around him, meaning news of his appearances always ended up not being him personally.
Not many people knew about this.
Jiang Yan then said, “You’ve been looking for him for so long, and the reason you’ve never found him is because he has someone named Zhuo Lie by his side, who is skilled in disguise.
Many things, he doesn’t show up personally; others disguise themselves as him.”
After hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Su He and Xing Siyang suddenly realized why they had always come up empty-handed.
Ye Jiuqing, who had just arrived, heard this too.
This was exactly what he hadn’t told Su He before.
He didn’t expect that Jiang Yan would also know about this, that Chi Tian valued his life, something known in the underworld, but very few knew he had Zhuo Lie by his side, Chi Tian’s biggest secret weapon.
In a moment of realization, Su He thought of something, “You mean, every time, someone else impersonates him to carry out tasks?”
Jiang Yan nodded.
“That’s what the information suggests.”
Su He frowned and looked at Xing Siyang.
Xing Siyang looked back at her, knowing what she was thinking.
“Let’s go in and ask,” Xing Siyang said.
If, back then, the person who fired the gun was also an imposter, then it indeed wasn’t Chi Tian’s direct doing, but it certainly had something to do with him.
When Su He and the others entered, they saw a man with silver hair sitting in the middle of the room.
The silver-haired man, upon seeing them, curled his lips, glanced at Su He, then at Xing Siyang, and finally his gaze landed on Jiang Yan.
“Fifth Young Master Jiang, is this how you welcome guests?”
If Chi Tian had known earlier that he was meeting Jiang Yan, he wouldn’t have come.
He never imagined that Jiang Yan also had this identity.
By the time he realized something was off, it was already too late.
For the first time, the always lucky him had stumbled.
After Xing Siyang saw him, he couldn’t hold back, and after he finished speaking, he took a swift step forward and punched Chi Tian.
Chi Tian reacted, but still couldn’t fully dodge, and his mouth corner got hit.
Chi Tian prodded the corner of his lip with his tongue, raised his hand to wipe the blood with his fingertip, and hissed, “Captain Xing truly lives up to his martial background, your hit was both fast and precise, I couldn’t even dodge.”
Xing Siyang wasn’t unfamiliar to him, after all, this guy had been relentlessly pursuing him for quite some time.
“How come?
Are you here today to seek revenge?” A mocking smile surfaced in his eyes: “You have been secretly searching for me for so long, aren’t you excited to have finally found me?”
Xing Siyang frowned, grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and pressed forward to speak: “So, you admit that the gunshot back then was fired by you?”
But the next second, Chi Tian scoffed with a smirk: “What gunshot are you talking about that I fired?
I’ve fired many shots, which one are you referring to?”
“Actually, I’m also curious, all these years, why have you been fixated on me?
I don’t recall ever provoking you.”
The grip Xing Siyang had on his collar tightened, and he gritted his teeth: “Chi Tian, four years ago, that kidnapping case at the F country border, dare you say you don’t remember?”
So many people died that day, he couldn’t believe he would forget!
Chi Tian was momentarily stunned, then laughed sinisterly: “Captain Xing, I am a good citizen, don’t wrong me.”
“…”
At this moment, Ye Jiuqing, who had been following behind, laughed mockingly.
“You have the nerve to call yourself a good person?
Shameless enough to say it, even I would be embarrassed to say it, and yet your skin is even thicker.”
Upon hearing this, Chi Tian slightly tilted his head, looked toward the entrance, and met those blue eyes.
He clicked his tongue: “I seem to carry quite the influence.
So many people came today, not bad.”
At this point, the quiet Su He broke free from Jiang Yan’s hold and walked a few steps forward, coming before Chi Tian.
Due to her approach, Chi Tian was forced to shift his gaze onto her.
He was familiar with Su He, though they never formally interacted, they had their silent confrontations.
Moreover, she was favored by Si Jinchuan.
Otherwise, four years ago…
“Four years ago, on October 7th at half-past midnight in F country, your men kidnapped people from a research institute to a deserted island on the border.
Five people in total.
Four died at the hands of your men, and also, a female police officer died by your hand.
I don’t believe you could forget, considering you were also injured that day.
I suppose you should have scars?”
Su He stood before him, slowly articulating.
She let Xing Siyang release him.
Then, she reached out, grabbed his collar, and yanked it open, exposing his right shoulder in mere seconds.
Chi Tian hadn’t even realized what happened before his right shoulder was laid bare.
Su He glanced at his right shoulder, slightly furrowed her brows — no scars.
Chi Tian watched her, playfully curling his lips, gave a wicked smile: “Dr.
Su really is a heroine among women, so boldly looking at a man’s body.
I wonder if President Jiang will be jealous.
Actually, if you wanted to look, you could have just said so, I’d have taken it off for you, no need to be so rough.
My clothes aren’t cheap.”
At this, Ye Jiuqing interjected: “Chi Tian, aren’t you disgusting, who wants to see your crappy body!”
Chi Tian looked at him and laughingly said: “Why the rush in your eyes?
The lady’s husband isn’t even panicking, and here you are getting ahead of yourself.
People who don’t know might think you are Dr.
Su’s husband.”
“Isn’t that right, Dr.
Su?” he said, then looked back at Su He and raised his eyebrows asking.
Su He ignored him, her gaze still firmly fixed on his right shoulder.
Back then, after the gunshot he fired, she had also fired a shot, hitting his left shoulder.
If there were no scars, there were only two possibilities: the person from four years ago was not him but someone else; or he had undergone a repair, over time, his scars had healed to blend with his original skin.
“…”
Not a single word that came out of Chi Tian’s mouth was true.
And, his statements were contradictory.
Yet, frustratingly, no useful words could be extracted.
Both she and Xing Siyang knew that which happened years ago was related to him, but without direct evidence, they couldn’t touch him.
If killing weren’t illegal, Su He might have dealt with him on the spot.
But there was still one way to prove whether his right shoulder had ever been wounded.
At this moment, Jiang Yan said, “I’ll have someone take him to the hospital for a check-up, then we’ll know if he has had surgery before.”
While Jiang Yan was speaking, Su He kept observing Chi Tian, trying to discern something from his expression, but Chi Tian was too calm, showing no reaction at all.
It’s unclear whether his psychological quality is just that strong, or because he has the confidence.
…
After Chi Tian was taken to the hospital, Su He turned to Jiang Yan and asked, “How did you know he is the real Chi Tian?”
Jiang Yan lifted his hand, brushed the hair from her forehead to behind her ear, and slowly said, “Because the real Chi Tian has a habit.”
She asked, “What habit?”
Jiang Yan smiled warmly and said, “He likes to buy different models of handguns.
There happens to be a discontinued model in my collection.
Initially, I just let Jiang Feng spread the rumor, to test it out.
He is indeed very careful and cautious, only choosing to show up today.”
Su He raised her eyebrows, “How do you know so much?”
Jiang Yan replied, “That’s because your husband is amazing.”
Su He: “…”
Ye Jiuqing was completely ignored, watching their affection makes him wish he could stand between them.
Then, he heard Jiang Yan’s voice again, “You just said, what conditions did you agree to him?”
Jiang Yan was pointing at Ye Jiuqing, but he was speaking to Su He.
Su He didn’t hide it from him, she revealed everything, “Nothing much, he hasn’t asked yet.
It’s just a reward for bringing us here.”
Jiang Yan looked at her and asked, “Do you know whose territory this is?”
Su He blinked, “Whose?”
“Yours.”
“Ah?”
Su He was completely stunned.
How did she not know she had such a place?
After a couple of seconds, she reacted, “You’re not telling me this underground casino is yours?”
The man chuckled, “Yes, but now it’s yours.
So why would you need someone else to bring you to your own territory?
Isn’t that silly?”
Su He slightly frowned and complained, “You didn’t tell me it was your territory either.”
The man continued, “It was written in the documents you signed initially, you just didn’t read them.”
Su He: “…”
So it’s her own fault…
Meanwhile, Xing Siyang and Ye Jiuqing were dumbstruck.
Especially Ye Jiuqing, as he looked at Su He, then Su He also looked at him.
He had a bad premonition.
However, the next second, this bad premonition was indeed confirmed.
“So, about the condition I just promised you, let’s just consider it…” Before she could say “void,” Ye Jiuqing interrupted her.
“Su He, you can’t be unreliable, you can’t go back on your word after the fact, can you?”
Su He looked at his sullen face, and felt a bit of sympathy, after all, he did indeed help her.
She thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll give you three minutes to state your condition, no waiting after that.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
This is really absurd, he must have failed to check the calendar before leaving home today, everything’s going against him, always getting cut off by Jiang Yan!
Ye Jiuqing has always thought that Su He was his nemesis, but now, he realized, it was Jiang Yan who is his biggest nemesis.
At two minutes and fifty-eight seconds, Ye Jiuqing finally said, “Accompany me on the Ferris wheel once.”
Su He: “Is that it?”
Ye Jiuqing: “What else?
Would you agree if I asked for anything else?”
Su He didn’t argue, “Fine, you pick the time.”
Just as she agreed, the man standing beside her had an unhappy expression.
She immediately said, “President Jiang, be generous, don’t be jealous all the time, there’s no chance for anything between him and me.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
Jiang Yan’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly unhappy, “I haven’t ridden the Ferris wheel with you either, and I haven’t ridden it with any other woman either.
I want my first time to be with you, and yours should also be only with me.”
Su He had an idea, she looked at both men and said, “How about together?”
The three men present: “…”
Xing Siyang silently didn’t make a sound, just quietly watching, after all, this had nothing to do with him, he was just an “unimportant” person.
Ye Jiuqing couldn’t help but criticize, “Su He, your emotional quotient is really zero, even a straight line isn’t as straight as you.”
Su He: “Ye, just speak, no personal attacks!”
Ye Jiuqing didn’t dare to retort, he just glared at Jiang Yan and coldly said, “I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you, why are you getting involved in this?
Riding a Ferris wheel and you still want to compete with me, she already gave you her first time, can’t you be a bit more generous this time?
You’re just petty!”
Su He: “…”
This guy’s mouth really has no filter at all.
…
Fei Xu and Jiang Feng quickly brought someone secretly to the hospital for a check-up.
The results of the check-up came out quickly.
Jiang Feng immediately passed the news to Su He.
There were indeed no wounds on Chi Tian’s right shoulder and no sign of any previous surgeries.
This could only mean that the “Chi Tian” from before wasn’t the real one.
But then who was it?
As long as Chi Tian doesn’t speak, it would be difficult for them to find any clues.
From the other end, Jiang Feng asked, “Young Madam, what should we do with Chi Tian now?”
Jiang Yan was naturally listening by her side and said, “You decide on this matter, whatever you want to do is fine, and it won’t offend anyone.
Even if it does, it has nothing to do with you, I’m here.”
Su He pondered for a moment, then said to Jiang Feng on the phone, “Then find a way to make him talk.
If he won’t talk, just keep him detained until he speaks, just make sure he doesn’t die.”
Her words were quite cryptic, but Jiang Feng was smart enough to understand.
Jiang Feng had thought that their Young Madam would let him release the man, seems he thought too much.
“Alright, Young Madam, this subordinate knows what to do.”
“…”
At this moment, Xing Siyang said, “After all, Chi Tian is from the X Corporation, and if he disappears, people will soon come looking for him.
Moreover, Si Jinchuan might not sit back and ignore this.”
This was his concern.
After all, Chi Tian is not an ordinary person.
