Chapter 125
Chapter 125: Haven’t Seen You for a Few Days, Itching for Trouble?
“Why haven’t you left Jiuzhou?” Jiang Che looked strangely at Alice, who was dressed in black. Could it be that this woman couldn’t let go of him and that’s why she hadn’t left?
“I won’t leave until I’ve killed you!” Alice gave Jiang Che a cold glance, then, like a magician, pulled a dagger from her waist and thrust it towards Jiang Che.
Jiang Che grabbed her delicate wrist, his expression a bit unnatural. “You’ve broken through to Transformation?”
He naturally sensed the woman’s undisguised killing intent. Could she have turned her grief into strength and thus made a breakthrough? After all, it had only been a few days, how had this woman suddenly broken through?
Alice didn’t answer Jiang Che’s question. She gathered inner force in her palm and struck towards his heart.
Jiang Che sidestepped her attack, cursing under his breath, “You little minx! Haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’re itching for trouble, huh! Daring to assassinate your husband! Today, I’ll show you who’s boss!”
This woman’s attacks were fierce and deadly, and Jiang Che’s anger was ignited.
…………
The next day, Jiang Che groggily opened his eyes and glanced beside him, but there was no sign of Alice.
“Did she give in just like that…” Jiang Che shook his head with a wry smile. This woman had come on so fiercely, but in the end, she was still subdued by him! He felt a bit of anticipation for their next encounter.
After washing up, Jiang Che went downstairs and called Ah Long to the living room, “Go to the Liu family and find Liu Lei. Tell him I want to see him and have him meet me at Heaven On Earth.”
“Yes, young master.” Ah Long responded respectfully and retreated.
Jiang Che also left the living room, instructing the bodyguard to drive him to Heaven On Earth.
…………
“Young master, someone claiming to be from the Jiang family is here to see you.”
Liu Lei had just returned to his room at the Liu family home when a servant found him.
“Someone from the Jiang family? What do they want with me?” Liu Lei frowned and asked in confusion. He didn’t recall having any connections with the Jiang family.
“I don’t know, the person said he’s with Jiang Che.”
“Quick, invite him in…” Liu Lei was startled and hurriedly instructed. Although he didn’t know why someone from the Jiang family was looking for him, he couldn’t afford to neglect them.
“You must be Liu Lei.” Ah Long was soon brought into the living room, and he looked uncertainly at the middle-aged man sitting on the chair, asking. He had never seen Liu Lei before.
“Yes, I am. What brings you here?” Liu Lei asked with a slight smile, appearing very approachable. Although he didn’t know why this person was looking for him, the visitor represented the Jiang family to some extent, so he didn’t dare to be presumptuous.
“Our young master has something to discuss with you. Please come with me.”
“Alright.” Liu Lei thought for a moment, then stood up and followed Ah Long out the door and into his Maybach.
Although he didn’t know why Jiang Che wanted to see him, he clearly had no right to refuse.
…………
“Young master, Liu Lei is here.”
Heaven On Earth, in a private room on the second floor.
After bringing Liu Lei over, Ah Long closed the door and left.
“So you’re Liu Lei?” Jiang Che looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The guy had a good-natured appearance, making it hard to believe he was capable of patricide.
“I am. May I ask what brings you here, Jiang Che?” Liu Lei asked curiously, inwardly wondering why Jiang Che had called him over. After all, he had no relationship with the Jiang family.
“Sit down. I have something I want to discuss with you…” Jiang Che invited Liu Lei to sit and personally brewed a pot of tea for him.
“Thank you, Jiang Che…” Liu Lei was a bit flattered, continuously thanking him. Although he was much older than Jiang Che, he didn’t dare to act arrogantly. After all, their backgrounds were worlds apart.
“Do you want to become the head of the Liu family?” Jiang Che took a sip of tea and asked directly.
“What do you mean by that? My father is still in good health. I dare not assume the position of head of the family.” Liu Lei was stunned, clearly not expecting Jiang Che to suddenly ask such a question, and he began to play dumb.
“There are no outsiders here, Liu Lei. You don’t need to pretend with me… Look at those your age. Aren’t they all heads of their respective families now? Yet your father still holds onto power. You’re already forty, and still just a young master of the Liu family…”
“Are you really willing to accept that?” Jiang Che spoke these words, then observed Liu Lei’s reaction.
He knew this guy was very resentful. Liu Lei had worked diligently in the Liu family for twenty years, yet Liu Qingfeng had passed the position of head to Liu Lei’s younger brother. Anyone would feel unbalanced in his shoes.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Che’s words, a trace of ferocity flashed in Liu Lei’s eyes, and his fists clenched involuntarily. He was obviously very dissatisfied with his father’s actions.
“I can help you become the head of the Liu family…” Seeing that the timing was right, Jiang Che smiled and said.
“What do you want in return…” Liu Lei took a deep breath and asked. Although he didn’t know how Jiang Che had found out his thoughts, there was no need to pretend anymore.
“You may not know this since you just returned today, but your father brought a man named Yang Wei back to the Liu family. That guy is my enemy. If I help you become the head of the family, you help me frame him.”
“Why don’t you just tell my father? I’m sure if you do so, he will directly drive him away.” Liu Lei looked at Jiang Che, not understanding why he had gone to such lengths to retaliate against a young man named Yang Wei.
“I have my own plans. Just tell me if you want to cooperate or not.” Jiang Che glanced at him, not saying much more. He couldn’t exactly say it was to maximize his own villain points, could he?
Directly having Liu Qingfeng get rid of Yang Wei would indeed change the plot, but for his own benefit, it was better for the old man to die soon!
“I agree…” After pondering for a few seconds, Liu Lei gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and picked up the white porcelain bottle in front of him.
“Pleasure doing business…” Jiang Che smiled and shook hands with Liu Lei.
“Pleasure doing business. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.” Liu Lei took a deep breath and said. Since he had made up his mind, he needed to act quickly! Time waits for no one.
“Please go ahead…” Jiang Che didn’t try to stop him, letting him leave directly.
