Rolling down the car window, Jiang Chen called out, "Move aside."
Zhu Yan and his companion were taken aback, then walked around the front of the car toward Jiang Chen's window.
"Go!" Seeing that Zhu Yan and his companion had cleared the front of the car, Jiang Chen instructed the driver, Tian Jiang.
Whirring...
Tian Jiang stepped on the accelerator, and the car continued to shoot forward.
"Hey! Mr. Jiang!" Zhu Yan's face changed, yelling out in a panic.
But the car in front didn't stop, leaving them a cloud of exhaust fumes.
"What... what should we do now?" Jin Chong frowned and turned to Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan clenched his teeth, saying irritably, "What else can we do? Follow him, of course! Do you think we can just turn back?"
Screech!
Just as the two of them were looking to hail a taxi, the car that had been following Jiang Chen stopped beside them.
Hum!
The rear window lowered, and Jiang Yuling poked her head out, looking curiously at Zhu Yan and his companion, "Who are you guys? Why is Cousin Jiang Chen ignoring you?"
"You are Miss Jiang Yuling, right? We are Mr. Jiang's bodyguards; we were delayed by some matters getting to Jincheng, which made Mr. Jiang angry. Could Miss Yuling give us a ride?"
Zhu Yan recognized Jiang Yuling, having committed the profiles of the Jiang family members to his memory upon their arrival.
"Is that really true?" Jiang Yuling eyed Zhu Yan and his companion suspiciously, up and down.
"Sister, they don't seem like bad guys, and they look quite flustered. It must be true, right?" Jiang Yufeng quietly interjected from the side.
Jiang Yuling nodded and said softly, "Then get in. I actually want to know more about Cousin Jiang Chen's affairs."
This was Jincheng, and Zhu Yan and his companion had come from the Longteng Hotel, so Jiang Yuling wasn't worried they were bad people.
"Thank you, Miss Yuling." Zhu Yan expressed his gratitude, getting into the back seat, while Jin Chong took the front passenger seat.
During the ride, Jiang Yuling asked Zhu Yan and the other about Jiang Chen's matters. Both of them held detailed information about Jiang Chen, so they selectively told her some things they could share, which also dispelled Jiang Yuling's suspicions.
It wasn't long before three Rolls-Royce Phantoms stopped in the underground parking lot of the Jinhuan Clubhouse, and Jiang Chen and the others got out.
"Mr. Jiang." As soon as they got out of the car, Zhu Yan and his companion hurried to Jiang Chen's side, looking at him nervously.
Jiang Chen glanced at them indifferently and was about to speak when Jiang Yuling came to his side and whispered, "Cousin Jiang Chen, they were also delayed because of family matters. Don't blame them, after all, nothing serious was missed."
After looking at Jiang Yuling, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "For Yuling's sake, I'll let you off this time."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Zhu Yan and his companion quickly nodded, casting grateful glances at Jiang Yuling.
Jiang Yuling didn't realize how much her words had helped Zhu Yan and his companion. Seeing them look over, she smiled at them gently.
As for the real reason, only Jiang Chen, Zhu Yan, and Jin Chong knew!
"Cousin Jiang Chen, who are they…" Jiang Yuqing approached Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Chen said indifferently, "They are my guards, specifically responsible for my mother and Jing Yi's safety."
"Oh," Jiang Yuqing nodded and reminded, "Guards are not allowed to enter the clubhouse, so have them all stay in the car."
"Okay!" Jiang Chen responded, then gave a few orders to Yan Hu and the others.
The guards stayed in the underground parking lot, while Jiang Chen, Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Yuling, and Jiang Yufeng took the elevator up from the parking lot.
Ding!
When the elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened, Sun Tianlin, who was standing in the lobby, casually looked over. Upon recognizing the four people stepping out of the elevator, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, 'The man himself has arrived!'
"Young Master Yu Qing, Miss Yuling, Young Master Yu Feng, you three are quite the rare visitors!"
Sun Tianlin stepped forward to greet them with a smile on his face. Although he seemed to be addressing the three Jiangs, his gaze continually flitted over Jiang Chen.
"Cousin Jiang Chen, this is the manager of Jinhuan Clubhouse, Manager Sun Tianlin," Jiang Yuqing introduced, then turned to Sun Tianlin, "Manager Sun, this is my cousin Jiang Chen!"
"Nice to meet you, Young Master Chen," said Sun Tianlin with a beaming smile.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and replied, "Earth Grade Peak, quite impressive strength!"
Sun Tianlin's smile stiffened slightly, and surprise flickered through his eyes.
"Who do we have here? When did Jinhuan Clubhouse start letting in any Tom, Dick, or Harry? Do you have a membership card?" Suddenly, a derisive voice sounded.
Then, a young man with an unfriendly expression approached them, arrogantly looking at Jiang Chen, "Kid, we meet again! Last time you snatched my Pill Furnace, and now you're on my turf. I won't let you get away with it."
"Wang Shichong?" Jiang Chen looked at the young man with surprise—this was one of the Jincheng Four Young Masters he had competed with over the Pill Furnace at the auction, Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong watched Jiang Chen with a sinister grin, "Kid, you actually have the nerve to come to Jincheng? You really don't know the meaning of the word 'death!' Kneel down and kowtow to me, then bring the Pill Furnace to me obediently, or I won't let you leave Jincheng alive."
"Quite the big talker!" Jiang Chen glanced at Wang Shichong indifferently, then turned to Jiang Yuqing, "Who is this guy?"
"He's the second young master of the Wang Family. Together with the second young masters of the Yan, Lu, and Wu families, they are known as the Jincheng Four Young Masters. But in truth, they're nothing more than four rich playboys," Jiang Yuqing spoke with contempt.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shichong's expression changed, and he glared furiously at Jiang Yuqing.
When he had first entered, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Chen, and he hadn't paid any attention to the people around him. Now, noticing Jiang Yuqing, he frowned, "Jiang Yuqing? Why are you with this guy? Is he a member of the Jiang Family?"
"Cousin Jiang Chen is the legitimate eldest grandson of our Jiang family, the leading figure of our generation and the strongest contender for the Family Head successor," Jiang Yuqing spoke coldly.
"Our legitimate eldest grandson here can't walk out of Jincheng, you say? You really do talk a good game, Wang Shichong," she said scornfully.
Wang Shichong's face went through a dramatic change, and he looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, "How is that possible? Isn't he just Hua Zhiqiang's lackey? How could he be the legitimate eldest grandson of the Jiang Family?"
"Hua Zhiqiang? You thought I was Hua Zhiqiang's lackey? Sorry to disappoint, but Hua Zhiqiang is my lackey!" Jiang Chen spoke teasingly, "The Jincheng Four Young Masters? It's quite a prestigious title, but it seems you can't really do anything to me, can you?"
"You…"
Wang Shichong's face darkened with anger as he glared at Jiang Chen. If looks could kill, Jiang Chen would have died a hundred and eighty times, but as things stood, Wang Shichong indeed could not do anything to Jiang Chen.
