300: Only you can save me

Su Yue naturally knew the status of General Jiang, and also knew that he was a generous person. Now that he had come to him for help, the compensation he would give would not be low.

However, at this moment, he didn't care about money at all. The so-called compensation was just a number to him. He wasn't short of money at all right now.

However, because he suspected that General Jiang might be related to the matter with Cheng Fei, he decided to spend energy on him, wanting to see what purpose he had in coming to him.

What's more, Lan Zijun now wanted to build a relationship with General Jiang. Since he had such a good opportunity in front of him, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

Because of this, he comforted the obviously nervous Lan Zijun: "Lan Ziju, don't worry, I'm not angry about this little thing."

"Moreover, General Jiang is indeed not easy to meet. It's quite an achievement for me to be able to meet him today."

The obvious comfort in Su Yue's words made Lan Zijun feel warm inside, and she became even more fond of Su Yue.

It was clearly she who had used him today, but instead of being angry with her, he was worried that she would overthink things.

Such a person was truly too good. Lan Zijun really didn't know what she could do to repay him.

"Su Yue..."

Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue's eyes, which were sparkling.

Lan Zijun's gaze was too fervent, and her dark eyes were also sparkling with starlight. This formed a stark contrast with her usual cold image, and for a moment, Su Yue was somewhat captivated.

The two looked at each other in silence. Just as Su Yue's throat felt dry and he was about to say something, there was a sudden movement outside the door, followed by a boisterous quarreling sound.

This private restaurant was famous for its quietness. They had also deliberately avoided the peak dining hours. Logically, there shouldn't have been many people in the restaurant at this time.

But now it was unbearably noisy outside. This made people very curious about what was happening outside and why it suddenly became so noisy.

Su Yue and Lan Zijun's expressions also changed, and both instantly became serious.

The two exchanged glances, and Su Yue asked in a deep voice, "Lan Ziju, should we go out and take a look?"

Lan Zijun nodded with a serious face: "General Jiang has been out for so long and hasn't come back yet. I hope he's alright."

Thinking that General Jiang had indeed been out for a long time, Su Yue's expression became a little more serious.

However, he still comforted the obviously flustered Lan Zijun: "Lan Ziju, don't worry. General Jiang will definitely be fine. The security here is quite good."

Lan Zijun nodded. Although she felt a little uneasy, she didn't say anything to dampen the mood and followed behind Su Yue as they went out.

When the two came out of the private room, they were greatly startled by the scene unfolding before them.

Su Yue also rushed forward immediately and shielded General Jiang, looking seriously at the group of people in front of him who seemed to want the other party's life.

Lan Zijun was a step slower, following behind. She caught up and asked about General Jiang's condition.

"General Jiang, are you alright? Sorry, we came late."

The main thing was that no one could have imagined that in just the time it took to go to the restroom, a perfectly fine person would suddenly be surrounded by a group of people.

If it weren't for the many people around blocking them, General Jiang would probably have been beaten black and blue by now.

General Jiang's face was very grim, but he didn't get angry with Lan Zijun right away. His tone was just very unfriendly.

"I didn't expect that even after running all the way here, these people would still relentlessly chase after me. It seems I acted too unconvincingly."

Su Yue and Lan Zijun, who heard this, were both stunned, neither knowing what General Jiang meant by his words.

So, it turned out that General Jiang actually knew the mastermind behind everything that happened today, and even knew the identity of the other party.

This made Su Yue extremely curious.

It seems this General Jiang is indeed not ordinary.

Seeing that General Jiang didn't seem to intend to explain to them, Su Yue didn't ask further. Instead, he looked at the group of people who were restrained by General Jiang's bodyguards, who seemed to have been with him all along, and secretly sized them up.

Su Yue looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that General Jiang was indeed impressive. These people who came to deal with him were clearly not simple individuals.

Each of them was a trained fighter. If they had succeeded, General Jiang's obviously frail body would have been subjected to unimaginable torment.

Fortunately, General Jiang always had the habit of having bodyguards with him, and this time was no exception.

Because of this, the bodyguards were able to rescue General Jiang in time and prevent the situation from becoming serious.

The noise just now was also because General Jiang's bodyguards and the people who came to cause trouble had gotten into a fight.

As the commotion grew louder, the restaurant's security also rushed in. The few people who were originally fighting with General Jiang's bodyguards saw that the situation was not good, exchanged glances, and quickly ran out through the back door.

The restaurant's security and the bodyguards chased after them.

The quarreling stopped, but everyone's mood didn't improve because the few people who were fighting had left. The faces of the onlookers were all very grim.

It's no wonder. If a group of people suddenly burst in while you were eating, and those people were fierce and menacing, seemingly ready to take your life at any moment, it would be unacceptable to anyone, regardless of who they were.

General Jiang rested for a while. Also, since the crisis had been resolved, his complexion looked much better at this time.

Seeing Su Yue and Lan Zijun looking at him with concern, he also took the initiative to explain to the two of them.

"Su Yue, President Lan, you should have already seen that my situation is not good now, right?"

Just having a meal could lead to being attacked. His situation was clearly more than just 'not good'; he was obviously in potential life danger at any moment.

He didn't know who General Jiang had offended, but the other party was so arrogant and bold that they dared to directly attack him in the restaurant.

Moreover, Lan Zijun was very sure that coming to this restaurant today was entirely her idea. None of them knew about it beforehand.

As a result, the other party attacked Su Yue without reservation. This clearly meant either they couldn't wait any longer, or the other party's backing was truly strong enough that they weren't worried about the consequences if something happened to General Jiang.

Although Lan Zijun was also the President of Far View (Yuantu), she had never encountered such a crisis. When she encountered this kind of thing for the first time, she was very surprised and shocked.

Although she had also almost been murdered by Qian Boda before, the other party wasn't so blatant. Now, just going out for a meal could potentially lead to being murdered.

This shocked Lan Zijun, but also made her very worried. General Jiang came to find Su Yue today; could it be related to such a dangerous matter?

If that were really the case, could Su Yue handle it alone?

Lan Zijun couldn't help but worry about Su Yue. After all, Su Yue didn't have personal bodyguards protecting him everywhere he went like General Jiang did.

Su Yue could only rely on himself for everything. If he were really involved in such a dangerous matter, he would very likely get hurt.

Lan Zijun did not want Su Yue to get hurt.

Su Yue didn't know that Lan Zijun had thought of a bunch of things just by seeing the scene of General Jiang being chased. He wasn't too worried about General Jiang's current situation.

He nodded and asked, "General Jiang, are you being chased?"

General Jiang didn't expect Su Yue to directly state his current awkward situation. After he finished speaking, General Jiang's face noticeably darkened.

However, Su Yue showed no fear because of General Jiang's grim face. Instead, he looked at him calmly, as if he could see right through him.

General Jiang's initial anger gradually dissipated under Su Yue's calm gaze. For a moment, he felt both angry and helpless towards Su Yue.

After all, as the President of Mingyuan Technology Company, as an internet giant, he was completely unwilling to admit that one day he would actually be chased.

However, Su Yue had already witnessed the scene of the other party brazenly attacking him. Even if he wanted to hide it at this point, he couldn't.

General Jiang was both angry and annoyed, but he really couldn't do anything about Su Yue.

In the end, he could only grudgingly admit: "That's right, I am indeed being chased right now, so I need your help."

Lan Zijun, who was beside them, was the first to frown and ask: "General Jiang, why aren't you looking for Police or bodyguards? What kind of help are you looking for from Su Yue? He probably can't help you, can he?"

Although Su Yue was indeed training in private now, he was more than capable of protecting himself. However, protecting an internet giant who was clearly being chased like this was still too great a risk.

No matter what, General Jiang should be looking for someone who has undergone professional training, not approaching Su Yue.

However, General Jiang's gaze was very firm. He shook his head, his expression very serious.

"No, I've checked. Currently, only Su Yue can save me."

"Oh?" This time, even Su Yue was intrigued by General Jiang. He looked at General Jiang with suspicion and asked, "What is this all about?"

General Jiang scanned the people around who were still observing, his face not looking very good.

He said, "Let's talk in the private room first. This matter isn't that easy to explain clearly."

"Alright."

The group of three returned to the private room once again. Just then, the restaurant manager, who knew what had just happened, specifically came to apologize to them and served the dishes.

Although those people came because of General Jiang, it was indeed also because the restaurant's security was insufficient at that time, allowing the other party to find an opportunity, which led to such an incident.

General Jiang didn't want to talk about the embarrassing incident he just experienced in front of everyone at all. He waved his hand and directly dismissed the manager.

After the private room became quiet again, General Jiang looked at the two people in front of him.

Lan Zijun, as the President of Yuantu Investment, was naturally someone who had seen much of the world. Outside, she could generally control her emotions well and wouldn't let her emotions show.

It was only at the beginning, when she heard that General Jiang was being chased and needed Su Yue's help, that her face showed emotion.

However, when Su Yue clearly didn't care about these things, she quickly reined in her outward emotions and returned to her usual calm, expressionless demeanor.

Currently, Lan Zijun was also sitting calmly to the side, with no unnecessary expression on her face.

As for Su Yue, he was clearly just a small employee of Far View (Yuantu), yet he acted even calmer than Lan Zijun.

One might even think he was the President of Far View (Yuantu), and Lan Zijun was the small employee.

General Jiang suppressed his thoughts about Su Yue and looked at him with feigned calmness: "Su Yue, do you know Cheng Fei? Have you been in contact with him recently?"

Su Yue, who was originally quite calm, now looked at General Jiang with obvious surprise in his eyes, "How did you know about this? Did Cheng Fei tell you?"

A trace of awkwardness clearly flashed across General Jiang's face, but he quickly lowered his head with a look of disappointment.

"I wish Cheng Fei had told me. Actually, I found out myself."

Su Yue instantly frowned and sized up General Jiang: "How exactly did you know about me? I'm not familiar with that Cheng Fei you mentioned."

"I don't know how you found out about me, but I really don't have the ability to save you. You should leave early."

General Jiang could clearly hear that Su Yue was getting angry, and it was because of his concealment.

At this moment, General Jiang dared not provoke Su Yue. Seeing that Su Yue was already angry, he immediately began to explain to him: "I'm very sorry. Actually, I secretly checked Cheng Fei's recent calls and that's how I found out you knew him."

"And you are a key person of interest on his end, so I knew you must be quite extraordinary."

"I secretly investigated you in private and found that you are indeed as I thought. You have high prestige in Jiangcheng, so I felt you should be able to help me."

Su Yue's originally tense nerves instantly went numb when he heard General Jiang say this. He looked at General Jiang with some suspicion, wondering if he had misheard.

It was just such a simple reason? He had thought that he and Cheng Fei had discovered something. Who knew it was just such an insignificant reason?

For a moment, Su Yue didn't know what kind of expression to show to express his inner helplessness.

He had just spent a second wondering whether he should make a move on General Jiang before General Jiang's enemies did.

After all, he didn't want his true identity to become known to everyone.

If General Jiang really found out that he was the true identity of Yuan, he would probably seriously consider whether to make a move on General Jiang.

And Lan Zijun, who was listening nearby, was also very surprised by the reason General Jiang gave. Could it... could it really just be because of this?

She hesitated for a moment but still asked: "General Jiang, aren't you afraid you're mistaken? Su Yue is just an ordinary person. How could he possibly help you escape being chased? Why don't you ask Police for help?"

"We know the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team. If you need to, we can help you contact her."

Su Yue also nodded in agreement: "That's right, I really can't help you with anything. Please go back."

General Jiang had already guessed before he came that his sudden request would be rejected by the other party, so he wasn't too surprised when he heard Su Yue's refusal.

However, he was very persistent. He looked at Su Yue and said very sincerely: "Su Yue, please help me. I have already tried various methods."

"But no matter who I look for, I can't escape the other party's pursuit. In fact, it has only made the other party escalate and chase me even more fiercely."

"Like today, being chased in broad daylight is not the first time it has happened. I am truly fed up with this life where I have to be on edge all the time."

"I don't know why, but I just feel that you can help me."
