42: Chapter 42 Uninvited Guest, Walking into the Trap

"Are you threatening me?"

Mrs. Gu stared straight at Jiang Chen, her voice sounding somewhat unnatural.

From Jiang Chen's gaze, she saw something indescribable, which made her feel a chill involuntarily.

Perhaps feeling that she had been intimidated by Jiang Chen's words made Mrs. Gu somewhat displeased, so she stepped forward: "Kid, do you know who you are talking to? Do you know what kind of existence the Provincial Capital Gu Family is?"

Seeing that Jiang Chen had no reaction, it was clear he did not recognize her.

Mrs. Gu's eyes were immediately filled with disdain.

A person's status in society determines what level of information they can access.

Just like an ordinary person would never know what the mayor is discussing every day or whom they have met.

Clearly, Jiang Chen did not know her at all, and naturally, he did not know the terror of the Gu Family.

"You might not know the Provincial Capital Gu Family, but you should at least know the Tang Family, the head of the four major wealthy families in Jinling, right?"

Mrs. Gu crossed her arms over her chest, revealing an arrogant and triumphant expression, and said proudly: "Even if the head of the Tang Family, Tang Zhengfeng, were in front of me, he would have to kneel while speaking. Now you should know who I am, right?"

"Mom, stop talking."

Gu Ruoxue hurriedly stopped Mrs. Gu.

Jiang Chen had just been released from prison and was struggling to find a job; his heart must be fragile and sensitive.

If he were subjected to such a barrage of ridicule and mockery from her mother, it would surely deeply wound his self-esteem, causing him to become disheartened and unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.

Jiang Chen was the only hope for the Jiang Family.

She could not let her mother destroy the Jiang Family's last remaining heir.

Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.

He laughed very loudly.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruoxue both looked at Jiang Chen, revealing expressions of astonishment.

There was not a trace of dejection in Jiang Chen's eyes; instead, they flashed with a sharp light.

"Auntie, you have no idea who you are talking to?"

Jiang Chen, with confident eyes, looked at the arrogant Mrs. Gu and said proudly: "You may think I am insignificant right now, but I tell you, within half a year, I will make you understand what is truly unattainable."

As soon as he finished speaking, an Aura that transcended all things emanated from Jiang Chen's body.

Even Mrs. Gu, with her noble status, was frightened by Jiang Chen's Aura and took a step back, her eyes filled with shock.

Is this an Aura that an ordinary person could possess?

Even the old master of the Gu Family had never possessed such an Aura!

She had only seen such an Aura once in her life.

It was that man who could make the entire Jiangnan Province tremble just by stomping his foot!

"You..."

Mrs. Gu looked at Jiang Chen in horror, too shocked to speak.

Jiang Chen ignored Mrs. Gu's astonishment and instead took Gu Ruoxue's hand, saying calmly: "Ruoxue, come home with me."

Without further ado, he pulled Gu Ruoxue back into the villa.

Mrs. Gu had just recovered from her astonishment when she saw Jiang Chen slam the villa door shut, as if issuing an order for her to leave.

Mrs. Gu was just about to rush up and pound on the door when she suddenly felt something strange behind her.

Her entire back was actually soaked with cold sweat.

Thinking of the terrifying Aura Jiang Chen had just released, Mrs. Gu did not dare to go forward to pound on the door and immediately turned around and returned to her car.

She picked up her phone from the side and dialed a number:

"Old Wu, help me investigate someone."

"He is from Jinling and is currently living with Ruoxue. I want all his information!"

...

Closing the villa gate.

Jiang Chen and Gu Ruoxue arrived at the entrance.

Fearing that Ling Shuang and the others would see them, Gu Ruoxue hurriedly broke free from Jiang Chen's hand and whispered: "Jiang Chen, actually you didn't need to say that. Do you know how much trouble doing that will bring you?"

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said dismissively: "Sister-in-law, anyway, I've already said it, so there's no use regretting it now."

Gu Ruoxue sighed upon hearing this.

Although she did not approve of Jiang Chen's actions, it had ultimately bought her some time.

She believed that with the Gu Family's capabilities, they would soon be able to find out Jiang Chen's identity and would certainly know he was lying.

Taking advantage of this time,

she had to settle the matters in the company as soon as possible.

By then, even if she were taken away by her mother, the company would not stop operating just because she was gone.

Yu Yan Beauty was her life's work, and she absolutely could not give up halfway.

"Sister-in-law, you go in, I'm going out for a bit."

Jiang Chen didn't change his shoes; he said something to Gu Ruoxue and turned to walk out of the villa.

When Jiang Chen went out, he did not see Mrs. Gu.

Apparently, she had already left.

Jiang Chen walked to the entrance of the residential complex, hailed a taxi, and headed to the Shen Group, where he met Shen Bier.

"Mr. Jiang, why are you here?"

Seeing Jiang Chen enter, Shen Bier hurriedly stopped what she was doing and stood up to welcome him.

She had Jiang Chen sit on the sofa and attentively poured tea for him.

Jiang Chen took the teacup, took a sip of tea, nodded, and said: "How is the renaming of the Jiang Group going?"

Shen Bier hurriedly said: "It should be successfully renamed by tomorrow at the earliest, but..."

When she said "but," Shen Bier hesitated.

"But what?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

Shen Bier sat down beside him and said with a serious expression: "It's just that while I was handling the renaming of the Jiang Group, I discovered that someone was secretly following me, and they even brutally killed five of my bodyguards."

"There is such a thing?"

Jiang Chen keenly sensed a hint of crisis, and then said: "Tonight, I will be your bodyguard. I want to see who is following you."

"This... how can that be!"

Shen Bier revealed an expression of being flattered.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "You are my right-hand woman; how could I let anything happen to you?"

"But I want to be your confidante."

Shen Bier's eyes shimmered with an ambiguous look.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen coughed twice, waved his hand, and said: "We are too familiar with each other; I even know where you have moles on your body. It's not appropriate."

Shen Bier burst into laughter, blinked at Jiang Chen, and said: "Mr. Jiang, I have already removed the moles on my body. Don't you want to know where I removed them from?"

"Let's just forget it."

Jiang Chen hurriedly changed the subject and asked Shen Bier to take out the files on the murdered bodyguards.

Soon, Shen Bier took out a file folder containing the appearance of the five bodyguards before they were killed.

"Martial Arts Expert!"

Jiang Chen looked at the state of the bodyguards' deaths and immediately knew they had died at the hands of a Martial Artist.

Moreover, the perpetrator's strength was not weak; at the very least, they were on the same level as the Red Skull president.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just then, the office door was knocked.

"Come in."

Shen Bier called out softly.

Soon the door was pushed open.

A man wearing a Shen Group security uniform walked in.

"Is something the matter?"

Shen Bier looked at the man and asked.

She thought something had happened in the company's security department.

The man slowly raised his head, revealing a cold and ferocious face from under his hat: "Miss Shen, we meet again. Your bodyguards have all been killed by me. Let's see where you can escape to this time?"

"You... you are the person who has been following me!"

Shen Bier exclaimed in shock.

She did not expect that the other party could sneak into her company without anyone knowing.

And she hadn't discovered any traces at all.

But thinking that Jiang Chen was right beside her, Shen Bier's suspended heart immediately relaxed, and she smiled coquettishly: "My friend, do you know the idiom 'walking into a trap'?"
