Finally, Jiang Chen didn't make things difficult for anyone, and after greeting Ye Jingyi, he followed Zhang Long out of the bar.

He knew that Zhang Long was giving him face entirely because Jiang Chen could save Zhang Long's life, so he had to repay this favor.

In the blink of an eye, the previously rowdy private room calmed down.

Ye Jingyi and the others looked at each other, and none of them wanted to stay any longer, so they dispersed.

Shen Zhui gritted his teeth and followed Ye Jingyi and Lin Wan, but he didn't dare to approach them and start a conversation.

The scene earlier had truly frightened him. Now he was thinking about how he could mend his relationship with Jiang Chen so that he wouldn't be retaliated against.

Who the hell knew that the so-called son-in-law would have such influence—a single phone call brought Elder Long in person.

This was just too awesome.

Moreover, everyone could see that Jiang Chen's feelings for Ye Jingyi were genuine; he definitely liked her. Yet today, he had brazenly competed with Jiang Chen for a woman? Competed with a mysterious young master who could make Elder Long nervous and apologetic, Shen Zhui now felt like he must be insane.

Therefore, he followed Lin Wan and Ye Jingyi out of the bar without daring to speak up. Just when he was at a loss, he heard a conversation that amazed him.

"Wan'er, don't you think that Elder Long looked somewhat familiar?" Ye Jingyi, arm in arm with Lin Wan, spoke as they walked.

Lin Wan paused, and after a moment's thought, her brows furrowed: "Yeah, now that you mention it, I hadn't noticed, but I do feel Elder Long looked familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

Both fell into thought.

Suddenly, Ye Jingyi remembered: "Hey, isn't Elder Long the person from the hospital yesterday? The one who asked Jiang Chen to treat him?"

"Ah, that's him!"

Lin Wan slapped her thigh, also remembering.

Then, her cute face filled with indignation: "Hmph, I thought Jiang Chen really knew Elder Long, turns out he was just leveraging his influence. Just meeting once at the hospital and exchanging numbers counts as a connection? What a joke!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhui behind them suddenly paused, quickly rushed over, and grabbed Lin Wan: "Lin Wan, what did you just say? Jiang Chen isn't close with Elder Long? They've just met once?"

Lin Wan gave Ye Jingyi a look and signaled with her eyes to Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui got the hint, turned around apologetically towards Ye Jingyi: "Miss Ye, sorry, may I talk to Lin Wan alone for a moment?"

"Okay," Ye Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turning to Lin Wan with a reminder: "Don't say bad things about others."

"Oh, don't worry, my saintly Miss,"

Lin Wan pushed Ye Jingyi towards her car, then helped her find it and drove away.

Watching Ye Jingyi leave, Shen Zhui's expression instantly darkened: "Lin Wan, tell me the truth quickly, who exactly is Jiang Chen? And what is his relationship with Jing Yi?"

"I've told you before, Jiang Chen is just a good-for-nothing son-in-law!"

Recalling Jiang Chen, Lin Wan felt nothing but disgust; she had actually been deceived by Jiang Chen, which was detestable.

"And moreover, Jiang Chen has no relationship with Jing Yi. He's just been pestering her, trying to deceive Jing Yi. I've told her so many times, but this foolish girl is just too kind-hearted, always..."

Lin Wan was so indignant she couldn't stop rambling, recounting yesterday's events and all the information she had gathered about Jiang Chen.

"What..."

So this Jiang Chen really was just a nobody!

Elder Long only asked him to treat an illness?

Damn!

Shen Zhui was so angry his face turned as black as coal, nearly spitting blood.

Fucking hell, I've been scared for half the night, and my face is almost swollen from being hit. But, who would've thought it was all because of such a piece of trash?

No way, I must retaliate.

...

At the moment when Shen Zhui and Lin Wan were fuming with rage, the "trash" they were talking about was sitting all high and mighty in Zhang Long's exclusive car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

After leaving the bar, Zhang Long took Jiang Chen with him in the car, planning to find a place where Jiang Chen could treat his injuries.

"No need, right here is fine," Jiang Chen waved his hand and turned to look at Zhang Long, "Take off your shirt, I want to check that red line."

Zhang Long's old face blushed, having just been told the day before that he would have the red lines, but he took it as a joke. Now confirmed, he felt nothing but embarrassment and respect.

Obeying the instructions, Zhang Long took off his shirt and watched Jiang Chen anxiously, while the driver Leopard also turned his head with a grave expression.

"This..."

After a careful examination and taking Zhang Long's pulse, Jiang Chen frowned and spoke, "Your condition stems from chronic injuries from martial arts practice that suddenly erupted all at once. However, the cause I saw yesterday was not detailed enough. Now, upon closer inspection, it's strange; it seems not only due to internal injuries but also influenced by external factors."

"External factors? You mean someone wants to harm Elder Long?!"

Leopard's face changed abruptly, and he spoke coldly, as a threatening aura of killing intent erupted from his eyes.

"It's hard to say. Let's do this, it's getting late today. Tomorrow I'll go to your office and home to take a look; maybe I can find something."

Jiang Chen shook his head gently.

"Then we'll trouble Mr. Jiang. Where do you live, sir? I'll take you back," said Zhang Long, quickly expressing his gratitude.

The diagnosis, causes, internal injuries, etc., Jiang Chen got them all right. Zhang Long now completely trusted Jiang Chen and treated him with as much respect as he would his own father.

He had no choice; this man held his life in his hands.

Jiang Chen wasn't one to put on airs, so he allowed Zhang Long to take him to the hotel.

"What, Mr. Jiang, you're just staying at a hotel?" Zhang Long asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's temporary."

Jiang Chen responded casually and then, after giving an instruction, got out of the car.

After watching Jiang Chen enter the hotel, Zhang Long pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and Leopard drove off.

When Jiang Chen got back to his hotel room, he tiptoed into his mother's room, only to find that his mother, Shen Xiaoqin, had not yet gone to sleep.

"Chen'er, why are you back so late?" Shen Xiaoqin chided him slightly, more out of worry than anger.

"Oh, nothing, I just went out for some drinks with a few friends."

Jiang Chen didn't elaborate further. He smiled as he approached his mother's bedside and gently held her hand, "Mom, have you been feeling better these past couple of days?"

"Much better," Shen Xiaoqin nodded with a smile. Suddenly she noticed a ring on Jiang Chen's finger, and her expression darkened, "Chen'er, did Li Liyun return the ring to you?"

That ring was given to Shen Xiaoqin by Jiang Chen's father, who she cherished deeply. Jiang Chen had only given it to Li Liyun as his most precious gift when they got married.

But now, it had returned to Jiang Chen's hand.

Without Jiang Chen saying a word, she already guessed what had happened.

Jiang Chen's face also turned uncomfortable, but he forced a smile, holding his mother's hand tighter, "Mom, there's something I have to tell you. These next few days, I'll be divorcing Li Liyun."
