"Chen Jie, let's go to Xiao Xue's office for a chat," Jiang Jun said with a smile, looking at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded, said nothing more, and followed them to Jiang Xue's office.
It had been a while since he had seen Jiang Jun's family.
Upon seeing them again, Chen Jie noticed that both Jiang Jun and Jiang Bei's attitudes towards him had changed.
They had become very polite.
After Jiang Jun's introduction, Chen Jie learned that Jiang Jun's family had been persistently seeking cooperation with Jiang Xue.
Since they were related by blood, Jiang Xue saw no need to be too harsh and thus contracted some businesses to Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun brought Jiang Bei to Jiang Xue's company with the intention of deepening their cooperation.
"Heh heh, Chen Jie, we've had our misunderstandings, but all that is in the past. There's no need to dwell on it," Jiang Jun said with a smile.
Clearly, he was in good spirits.
It was likely that he had benefited greatly from Jiang Xue's company during this period.
Chen Jie replied, "Whether Jiang Xue is willing to give you a chance is her business. You don't need to be so polite to me."
"Why not? You'll be our Jiang family's son-in-law from now on!" Jiang Jun said with a stern face.
Ah Bei, on the other hand, spoke with an ambiguous attitude, "Brother-in-law, my sister might have a temper, but she's a top-tier beauty, you won't lose out! Those who know, know."
Chen Jie frowned, "You both know that Wang Xiaoyan is my girlfriend, right?"
They both nodded quickly.
"If that's the case, do you really think there's any possibility between Jiang Xue and me?" Chen Jie asked.
"Why not?"
Jiang Jun said with a stern face, "Chen Jie, let me be blunt. Men, who doesn't like to have some fun? When I was young, I had affairs on the side while maintaining stability at home. I only settled down when I was too old to play around anymore."
"Yeah, brother-in-law. I plan to remain single forever and only consider marriage when I'm older. I'm not planning to hang myself on one tree!" Ah Bei also chuckled.
"We don't object to you interacting with Xiao Xue, and we can even offer some support. However, you need to do this discreetly, so as not to upset the Wang family. It all depends on how capable you are." Jiang Jun said.
Chen Jie showed a cold smile, "Are you saying you want Jiang Xue to be my mistress?"
"Heh heh, we know you, Chen Jie, are very capable. As long as your new company gives us some business. By the way, I heard your company recently developed a 'Hundred Diseases Immunity Pill.' How about letting us be the exclusive agents?"
This was Jiang Jun's true intention.
They were prepared to sacrifice Jiang Xue to gain benefits from Chen Jie.
They had also heard about Chen Jie's actions in dealing with the Yang family.
While deeply impressed, they had also begun to set their sights on Chen Jie.
"Where is Jiang Xue?" Chen Jie asked.
They both looked confused, "We don't know? We were supposed to discuss business with her today, but we haven't seen her yet."
"But it's not a big deal. I'll have Ah Bei send you some tickle powder later, and you can easily win over Xiao Xue..." Jiang Jun said directly.
A deep sense of disgust flashed in Chen Jie's eyes.
He stood up directly, "I feel sorry for Jiang Xue for having relatives like you."
With that, he prepared to leave.
Jiang Jun chuckled, "Don't worry, we'll definitely help you persuade Xiao Xue."
...
Chen Jie not seeing Jiang Xue at the company made him feel uneasy.
As the general manager of the company, if Jiang Xue were even slightly rational, she wouldn't turn off her phone and become unreachable.
Chen Jie became anxious and quickly went to Jiang Long's house to inquire.
Upon asking, he also found out that Jiang Xue had not returned home.
To avoid worrying Jiang Long, Chen Jie did not tell him about the possibility of Jiang Xue's disappearance.
Chen Jie couldn't help but regret it, wishing he hadn't taken away Jiang Xue's protective artifact.
If Jiang Xue had been wearing the protective artifact, he would have been able to locate her through it.
Moreover, having the protective artifact on her would also ensure her safety.
Leaving Jiang Long's house, Chen Jie immediately made another call.
A moment later, a business van stopped in front of Chen Jie.
Lin Shuang, wearing a hood, approached Chen Jie and said with a smile, "You know, our Dragon Group rarely gets involved in such matters!"
"However, since it's you, I'm willing to bend the rules a bit. Tell us, how exactly did Jiang Xue disappear?"
Chen Jie then explained the general situation to her.
Lin Shuang listened as if she had lost her parents.
Damn it, wasn't this the typical script of a couple having an argument and one of them playing hide-and-seek?
Chen Jie was asking her to use the Dragon Group's resources to find a woman for him?
He really didn't consider himself her fiancé!
Lin Shuang suppressed her displeasure and said, "It will probably take twenty-four hours to confirm she is missing!"
Chen Jie frowned, "I have a feeling this is not as simple as it seems. Are you capable? If you're not willing to help me, I'll find my own way."
Lin Shuang's pretty face tensed, "Fine, we'll investigate! Wait for my news!"
Chen Jie was still uncertain about Jiang Xue's well-being, feeling a sense of worry.
Driving back to the West Mountain villa, just as he was about to enter, he suddenly paused and frowned.
Then he regained his composure.
Chen Jie walked into the first-floor hall and was immediately met with a shocking sight.
He saw many people scattered in various corners of the hall, in strange postures, crouching, standing, or bending over.
These were all young women.
The next second, Chen Jie's gaze became dazed.
Looking around, he saw a beautiful woman in a qipao by the coffee table, bent over as if pouring tea.
The slit of her qipao was outrageously high.
Not far away, a nurse in a short skirt was elegantly playing with a syringe.
To his right, a woman in a suit exuding a CEO aura, and to his left, a bespectacled woman holding an English book...
Various types of women, seemingly a collection of all women who satisfied men's aesthetic standards in the world.
The moment Chen Jie appeared, these women walked towards him charmingly.
"Chen Jie, we can't wait any longer!"
Someone said, their sweet voice filled with seduction.
Chen Jie, looking lustful, reached out to touch a woman in a swimsuit.
Although these women were incredibly beautiful, their expressions seemed somewhat stiff.
Only one girl in a short skirt and stockings curled her lips into a cold sneer.
She secretly held a dagger in her hand and, feigning allure, approached Chen Jie.
"He's truly a pig! Killing him will earn me a reward!"
Just as Chen Jie was about to touch the woman in the swimsuit, the stockinged girl's gaze turned sharp, and she lunged towards Chen Jie's throat.
At the same moment, the dazed look on Chen Jie's face vanished completely. He raised his hand and caught the incoming blade between his fingers.
With a crisp clang, the stockinged girl's attack froze in mid-air.
How could this be!
