140: Discussing the art of music with Xia Qingge

He shook his head, casting aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

Qiang Zi didn't think much of it either. He dragged Luo Chen out of the supercar and directly stuffed him into the trunk of a Land Rover parked nearby, having him tied up securely.

He did it brazenly, without any concealment.

Working for the Jiang Family, Qiang Zi had never known the meaning of fear.

As long as he wasn't openly shooting people in crowded, bustling streets, Qiang Zi was fearless no matter what happened; there were plenty of people above him who would protect him.

Having tied up Luo Chen at the Xia Family Manor entrance, someone would naturally handle the aftermath for him, deleting the surveillance footage and erasing all traces.

“Brother Qiang, what’s the next step?”

A black-clad man beside him took out a cigarette and handed it to Qiang Zi, enthusiastically lighting it for him with a fawning smile and bowing repeatedly.

“I’ll ask Young Master…”

Qiang Zi took an epic drag, inhaling deeply, the smoke swirling around his face.

【Young Master, this guy named Luo Chen has been tied up. What should we do next?】

【Arrange for him to leave the country, send him to Bangkok, arrange a sex change operation for him, find people to guard him 24 hours a day, and then force him to entertain clients. Remember, only black clients.】

Qiang Zi: …………

Seeing the message from Jiang Che on his phone screen, Qiang Zi’s mouth twitched violently, and he silently mourned for Luo Chen for two seconds.

To be tormented like this by his own Young Master, this guy named Luo Chen was truly miserable!

Qiang Zi could already foresee Luo Chen’s tragic life ahead, being lined up by a group of big black men every day…

Just imagining that unspeakable scene sent a shiver down Qiang Zi’s spine, and he couldn’t help but shudder.

【Understood, Young Master…】

After replying to the message, Qiang Zi tossed away the cigarette butt, got into the car with a few of his subordinates, and headed straight for Qingteng Mountain Villa.

For a rich young master like Jiang Che, private yachts, private planes, and other such toys were naturally not in short supply.

Moreover, the back mountain of Qingteng Mountain Villa had long been fully developed and converted into a large airport, where several private planes were parked. Flight attendants and pilots worked in three shifts, on rotation, ensuring that a plane could take off at any time Jiang Che had a sudden whim.

Arranging for someone to get a visa for Luo Chen meant he could be sent to Bangkok tonight.

Xia Family Manor

Third floor, in the music room.

After replying to Qiang Zi’s message, Jiang Che put down his phone and began to seriously listen to Xia Qingge's piano music.

Although Qiang Zi was a straight-laced-looking man, he was meticulous and careful in his work.

Jiang Che believed Qiang Zi could handle such a small matter perfectly and wasn't worried at all.

Xia Qingge, dressed in a white dress, sat gracefully before the piano. Her slender, jade-like fingers moved ceaselessly, dancing swiftly across the keys, creating a perfectly beautiful and melodious tune that emanated from her fingertips, captivating all who listened.

The music lingered, echoing endlessly.

Xia Qingge’s piano skills had clearly reached an extremely high level. Listening to the elegant and beautiful melody, it was easy to become immersed and linger, unwilling to leave.

The piano music was melodious and lingering, and the joyful notes bloomed in the air, beginning to reverberate gently throughout the entire corridor.

The passing maids moved with extra care, unwilling to make the slightest sound, neither wanting to disturb the Young Lady’s refined enjoyment nor to break the beautiful melody.

“Zheng!”

After a long while, when the piece concluded, Xia Qingge withdrew her fair, soft hands.

She rose from her seat, turned to look back at Jiang Che, who was sitting beside her. A look of anticipation appeared on her delicate face, her beautiful eyes blinked softly, and her cherry lips parted slightly, like a primary school student waiting for a teacher’s praise.

“Jiang Che…”

“How do you think I played this piece?”

Earlier, in the hall downstairs, the topic of piano had come up by chance.

Hearing Jiang Che say that he was also proficient in piano, Xia Qingge couldn’t wait to discuss it with him, which was why she brought Jiang Che to the music room on the third floor.

As the Young Lady of the Xia Family, Xia Qingge had received the highest-level etiquette training and elite education since childhood.

While she might not be proficient in every aspect of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she was by no means inferior to the so-called masters of the current age.

Among them, what interested Xia Qingge the most were instruments like the piano and guzheng, which she genuinely loved.

Therefore, she was eager to get Jiang Che’s evaluation to learn from his strengths and improve her weaknesses.

Although she didn’t know Jiang Che’s piano level, seeing his confident, composed, and unhurried demeanor, Xia Qingge naturally assumed that his piano skills must be superior to her own.

She had received various elite educations since childhood, and wasn't Jiang Che the same?

Moreover, Jiang Che had the reputation of being the Foremost Young Master of Linjiang, and this title was not unfounded.

“Excellent!”

“You played ‘Ballade pour Adeline’ so vividly, with perfect rhythm, making one involuntarily immerse themselves. It’s enough to earn you the praise of a piano master…”

Jiang Che praised her without reservation, giving an honest evaluation.

As the female lead, Xia Qingge was destined to be multi-talented, effortlessly achieving accomplishments in certain fields that were unimaginable to ordinary people.

Leng Qingqiu was proficient in business, with maximum business talent, while the Xia Qingge before him was incredibly skilled in musical instruments.

“Really?”

“Then thank you for your praise…”

Hearing Jiang Che’s sincere praise, Xia Qingge’s beautiful eyelashes fluttered gently, her face lit up with a smile, a faint grin on her lips, her heart blooming with joy, feeling a little delighted.

This feeling of being recognized was extremely gratifying to her.

【Xia Qingge’s heart bloomed with joy, emotional value +4455…】

“However…”

Seeing Xia Qingge’s overjoyed expression, Jiang Che suddenly changed the subject.

“However what?”

“However, the song ‘Ballade pour Adeline’ itself praises a beautiful love story, full of romanticism.”

“While your piano playing is melodious and evocative enough to inspire imagination, it lacks the most crucial spiritual charm, making it slightly incomplete and not perfect.”

Jiang Che spoke eloquently, expressing his insights.

His own piano level was already at a master level, similar to Xia Qingge’s.

After being imbued with divine piano skills and divine musical artistry by the system, Jiang Che’s understanding and comprehension of the art of piano had long reached a state of supreme mastery and perfection.

Transcending the mundane, he could naturally point out Xia Qingge’s issues with ease.

“What you said… makes a lot of sense!”

“Then… could I hear you play ‘Ballade pour Adeline’?”

After listening to Jiang Che’s explanation, Xia Qingge pondered, suddenly enlightened, and quickly accepted Jiang Che’s evaluation. She lifted her delicate, fair, and flawless oval face, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Jiang Che, her heart full of eager expectation.

Being able to easily point out her shortcomings was enough to show how high Jiang Che’s piano mastery was, far surpassing her own.

If she could have an in-depth exchange with Jiang Che, she would surely gain a lot and benefit immensely!
