58: In the Name of Jiang Che
"Call the police to arrest me?"
After hearing Li Yanran's words, Jiang Che laughed. His smile was mocking, his tone playful, and a hint of arrogance was faintly discernible.
"Secretary Li, do you know where the 'Jiang' in Jiangzhou Province comes from?"
"Do you know where the 'Jiang' in Linjiang City comes from?"
"Thirty years ago, Linjiang City wasn't called Linjiang City; it was called Linbei City..."
"You... could it be..."
Upon hearing Jiang Che's words, Li Yanran's brain suddenly crashed. A look of terror appeared on her pretty face. She swallowed nervously, her lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a complete sentence.
In that instant, a multitude of thoughts flooded Li Yanran's mind. Her thoughts flew, and a stormy sea raged within her heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
She had been by Leng Qingqiu's side for three years.
Over these past three years, Li Yanran had accompanied Leng Qingqiu to various high-end occasions and had seen countless grand scenes, gaining a certain understanding of the overall power distribution in Linjiang City.
She knew that there were six major Families in Linjiang City that firmly controlled various resources in Linjiang City and many surrounding cities. Their Family power was immense, their Legacy long-standing, and their status unshakable.
And above the six major Families was the Jiang Family, the number one prestigious Family in Jiangzhou Province.
It could be said that this behemoth, the Jiang Family, firmly suppressed all the noble clans and prestigious families in the entire Jiangzhou Province.
Regarding Jiang Che's background, Li Yanran didn't truly belong to the upper circles, so naturally, she didn't know much about it. She only knew he was known as the First Young Master of Linjiang, and Leng Qingqiu had never told her more information about Jiang Che.
After all, Li Yanran and Jiang Che were destined to be people from two different worlds; there would simply be no intersection between them.
Originally, Li Yanran only thought Jiang Che had a mysterious background and a powerful origin. She had never imagined that Jiang Che could actually be the legendary Crown Prince of Jiangzhou.
After all, such a high-and-mighty, radiant figure was destined never to have any intersection with someone from the bottom like her.
Such a big shot was born destined to stand at the summit and overlook the common people.
Yet, reality had played a huge joke on her. This well-dressed, smiling, human-shaped, shameless scoundrel before her was actually the legendary Crown Prince of Jiangzhou?
In that instant, Li Yanran was completely in a daze...
[Li Yanran feels fear towards you, emotion points + 4444...]
[Li Yanran thinks you are not a good person, emotion points + 3333...]
"That's right, it's exactly as you thought..."
"My grandfather is Jiang Jianguo!"
Jiang Che nodded, looking at Li Yanran with profound meaning, observing the changes in her facial expressions, finding it extremely interesting.
Li Yanran opened her mouth several times to speak, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them all back and remained silent.
Who was Jiang Jianguo?
I'm afraid there isn't a single person in Jiuzhou Country who doesn't know!
Towards Jiang Jianguo, Li Yanran naturally held respect and immense admiration.
But towards his grandson, Li Yanran really found it hard to feel any affection.
At this point, Li Yanran finally understood that Jiang Che wasn't just using the tiger's might to scare her. If he wanted to, he could completely make her younger brother disappear quietly, without leaving a trace.
It might be hard to say in other places, but in this one-third of an acre that is Jiangzhou Province, was there anything Jiang Che couldn't do?
Facing Jiang Che, any resistance she made was destined to be futile.
In that instant, Li Yanran suddenly thought of her boss, Leng Qingqiu.
Originally, she hadn't understood why a woman as cold and arrogant, as icy and frosty, and uninterested in any man as Leng Qingqiu would completely fall for Jiang Che after meeting him just twice.
Now, Li Yanran suddenly understood a little...
I'm afraid that when this jerk Jiang Che pursued Leng Qingqiu, he didn't use any normal methods either; it was the same coercion and inducement.
At this thought, Li Yanran's expression became somewhat complex.
Even a multi-billionaire female president like Leng Qingqiu had fallen; how could she, a commoner, escape Jiang Che's clutches?
"But... Young Master Jiang... you also know that I have a boyfriend..."
Li Yanran's brain worked rapidly. She suddenly thought of Mu Feng as a shield and blurted it out subconsciously, wanting to make Jiang Che retreat in the face of difficulties.
Although she and Mu Feng had no real feelings, Jiang Che shouldn't know about these things, right?
"You don't need to explain. I know everything about the situation between you and Mu Feng..."
"He has chased you for seven years and been your boyfriend for three years, but you have never had any intimate contact, and you have no feelings for him either."
"It doesn't matter; I don't mind this kind of thing..."
Jiang Che chuckled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind this, sidestepping the question itself.
Just like Lanzi Group was Leng Qingqiu's weakness, Li Ziming was Li Yanran's only weakness.
To kill a snake, you must hit its seven-inch mark. As long as he could cleverly use Li Yanran's sibling affection for Li Ziming, Jiang Che believed that this stunner would eventually compromise.
Li Yanran: ...
Seeing Jiang Che's smiling, confident appearance, as if he had already secured her, Li Yanran felt quite stifled and depressed, with a tightness in her chest.
[Li Yanran thinks you are shameless, emotion points + 3344...]
"So..."
"Secretary Li, what is your answer?"
Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, looking at Li Yanran in front of him with a playful smile, full of interest.
"Since Young Master Jiang has already said so, does Yanran have any other choice?"
Li Yanran smiled miserably, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
In front of a top-tier powerful figure like Jiang Che, what kind of waves could a commoner like her make?
Besides agreeing to Jiang Che's request, Li Yanran had no other way. She couldn't just watch her brother disappear from this world, right?
Although Jiang Che still wore a smile, gentle and elegant, like a refined gentleman, Li Yanran completely believed that Jiang Che could do what he said.
As long as she said "no" today, her brother would vanish into thin air immediately.
Born into a top-tier Family like the Jiang Family, how could Jiang Che be the indecisive type?
Facing a super simp like Mu Feng, Li Yanran could naturally handle him easily, leaving him no chance to succeed.
But in front of a top-tier noble Young Master like Jiang Che, all her schemes and calculations were destined to be in vain, and Jiang Che didn't fall for her tricks at all.
"Very good, you have made the right choice!"
"Since you have agreed to This Young Master, This Young Master will naturally keep his word..."
"Now, let me treat your physiological androphobia!"
Jiang Che smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
With a flick of his hand, rows of slender silver needles emitting a cold glint appeared at his fingertips, the white light flickering, making people shudder.
"No... Young Master Jiang, you're serious!"
Seeing Jiang Che approaching her step by step, Li Yanran's pupils shrank, her complexion changed drastically, she swallowed nervously, her pretty face gradually turning pale, and she subconsciously stepped back a few steps, shaking her head repeatedly.
Although she had already agreed to be his woman under Jiang Che's coercion, Li Yanran didn't believe this Dog Man really knew any medical skills. Was he sure he wasn't using her as a lab rat?
"Hehehe, don't be afraid, This Young Master's medical skills are extremely superb!"
