171: Chapter 171 NVTS

The dining table was filled with warmth, and a gentle atmosphere silently overflowed.

The original awkwardness and distance between the two had quietly dissolved, replaced by a more casual and familiar ease.

Several home-cooked dishes on the table were nearly finished.

The warm, slanted rays of the autumn sun filtered through the glass window, landing lightly on their shoulders; the entire living room was relaxed and comfortable, exuding a faint, quiet tenderness.

Leng Yue put down her chopsticks and took a small sip of the warm water beside her.

She hesitated for a moment before looking up at Jiang Chen beside her, her tone sincere and filled with genuine curiosity: "To be honest, I've always wanted to ask you something."

Jiang Chen turned toward her, his expression gentle and refined. His demeanor was casual and approachable, without a hint of a tycoon's arrogance, as he replied calmly, "What do you want to ask?"

"You look so young, not much older than me,"

Leng Yue's gaze was open and direct, without any polite pretense.

"Yet you can manage a massive enterprise like Chenxing Capital, making the business thrive while remaining exceptionally composed and low-key. It's truly impressive. Most people my age are still just working their way up step-by-step; someone as young and successful as you is truly rare."

These words came from the heart, without any flattery, purely born of genuine appreciation and admiration.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen let out a low, soft laugh. His fingertips rested casually on the edge of the table, his aura gentle and down-to-earth.

He knew full well that his ability to possess such a massive fortune and support such a vast business empire at a young age was entirely due to the exclusive, top-secret daily wealth intelligence he unlocked every day.

Naturally, he wouldn't reveal a single detail of this secret trump card. He simply brushed it off lightly, saying, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just happened to catch a few good opportunities; it's purely good luck."

"Luck is also a form of talent."

Leng Yue shook her head gently, her eyes exceptionally serious. "The business world is unpredictable; you can't stand your ground on luck alone. To grow an enterprise to this scale is enough to show that you have a unique vision, and your perspective and character far exceed those of ordinary people."

Her personality was naturally straightforward and honest, and she wasn't good at beating around the bush; whatever she thought, she said directly.

Jiang Chen looked at the undisguised sincerity in her eyes, and the warmth in his heart grew. His speech became even more relaxed and friendly, completely letting go of the distance and formality from their first meeting.

"Actually, it's not as glamorous as it looks; there are plenty of trivial matters to deal with every day. Compared to you all on the front lines of criminal investigation, constantly running around on cases, facing danger, and guarding the peace of the entire city, I'm just managing a business in an office. It's much more stable and comfortable."

Hearing his humble and considerate words, Leng Yue's expression unconsciously softened as she replied softly, "We are just fulfilling our respective duties. You stabilize the order of the business world, and we protect social security. Everyone is just doing their part in their own position."

"That makes sense," Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

The two of them opened up and began to chat leisurely.

From daily routines and hobbies to the expansion of Jiang City's urban areas and the rise and fall of business districts in recent years, the topics were casual and domestic, without any sense of being forced.

There was no awkwardness of searching for topics, nor any cold silences; they went back and forth with a slow and comfortable rhythm.

The layer of unfamiliarity and estrangement from their first meeting completely dissolved during this casual talk, and they became increasingly relaxed in each other's company.

After chatting for a long time, the afternoon sun gradually dipped toward the west.

Leng Yue stood up to clear the table. Seeing Jiang Chen move to help, she quickly stopped him gently: "Just sit and rest comfortably. I can handle these few chores easily; there's no need to be polite."

Jiang Chen didn't insist further and leaned back peacefully on the sofa, his gaze quietly following her busy figure.

Shedding the sharp efficiency of her police uniform, with her hair casually tied up and wearing simple loungewear, Leng Yue appeared gentle and tranquil, possessing a soft, domestic charm.

This was completely different from her image as a swift, decisive, and calm backbone of the criminal investigation unit, yet it was equally grounding and reassuring.

Before long, Leng Yue finished tidying the kitchen and walked out. She washed her hands, sat down again, and carefully refilled both their cups with warm water.

After sitting and chatting for a while longer, Jiang Chen glanced at his watch and stood up at the appropriate time. "It's getting late, so I won't stay any longer and take up more of your weekend rest."

"Won't you stay a bit longer?" Leng Yue spoke subconsciously, her tone carrying a faint, unintended hint of wanting him to stay.

"Next time," Jiang Chen's lips curled into a warm, gentle smile. "When I have time another day, I'll come back to enjoy your home-cooked food again."

"You're welcome anytime," Leng Yue nodded in response and naturally stood up to walk him to the entryway.

Jiang Chen changed his shoes and looked back at her, his tone warm and sincere: "Thank you for specifically cooking today; the food was exactly to my taste."

"It was just a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, simply prepared. I'm glad you didn't mind how modest it was."

A soft curve appeared in Leng Yue's cool eyes as she reminded him gently, "Drive slowly on the way back and be safe."

"Okay," Jiang Chen replied as he pushed the door and stepped out.

Leng Yue stood at the door, quietly watching him walk to the elevator. It wasn't until the elevator doors slowly closed that she gently shut her front door.

Downstairs, that black lexus lm was already parked steadily by the roadside of the community, waiting.

Jiang Chen sat in the spacious back seat. Lu Zheng bowed slightly and signaled the driver to pull away smoothly.

The interior of the car was quiet and steady, completely cutting off the noise of the streets outside.

Jiang Chen leaned lazily against the soft leather seat and clicked on the daily wealth intelligence notification on his exclusive backend.

Jiang Chen's gaze calmly swept across the entire intelligence.

The ticker symbol was precise down to the letters, the time nodes were accurate to the hour, the entry and exit paths were clear, and the position size matched the market's capacity perfectly without any fluff.

A full 150 million in net profit, a short-term quick entry and exit, relying on top-secret insider information to complete a precision strike—orderly in both advance and retreat, it was an absolute win-win opportunity.

His fingertips lightly brushed the edge of his phone, a deep yet calm glint flashing in his eyes, and a warm, composed smile played at the corners of his lips.

Relying on one piece of top-secret intelligence every day, he could always lock onto hidden dividends that others couldn't see, quietly laying out his plans. Wealth accumulated continuously, his business empire expanded steadily, and everything was under control.

"Back to Changjiang International Center, the company," Jiang Chen instructed in a calm, quiet voice.

"OK，General Jiang." Lu Zheng immediately relayed the order to the driver in the front.

The luxury black car smoothly merged into the autumn traffic, heading steadily toward the Changjiang International Center, where the headquarters of Chenxing Capital was located.
