Hearing this rascal-like voice, Jiang Chen was startled and turned his head to look.

He saw a teen dressed just like Lou Qiangqiang holding a red rose, striking what he thought was a cool pose in front of Ying Zi.

Bang!

A muffled sound, as Lou Qiangqiang kicked He Zheng on the butt, scolding: "He Zheng, are you looking for death? Ying Zi is big brother's woman, and you dare to flirt with her? You must be tired of living!"

Ying Zi originally frowned because of what He Zheng said, but upon hearing Lou Qiangqiang's words, her face turned red and she sneakily glanced at Jiang Chen before gently lowering her head.

"Huh? Your big brother's woman?"

He Zheng was surprised for a moment, looked at Jiang Chen, then turned and offered the red rose to Zhu Yan: "Beautiful lady, I was talking to you just now. May I know your elegant name? Could we have dinner together?"

Bang!

Lou Qiangqiang kicked He Zheng again, angrily shouting, "Can't you stop embarrassing us here? This lady is Spirit You's wife!"

"Ah? Taken too? Why are all the beauties someone else's? What about mine?" He Zheng looked utterly dejected and sighed to the sky.

Pfft!

"Haha!"

"Giggle..."

Jiang Chen and the others couldn't help but laugh at He Zheng's antics, giving Lou Qiangqiang strange looks.

"Damn! You this thing..."

Lou Qiangqiang covered his face with one hand, looking embarrassed, then grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and headed towards the car, complaining, "Big brother, I don't know this nutcase. Let's ignore him and get going before he infects us!"

Jiang Chen, amused, held back Lou Qiangqiang, and turned to look at He Zheng: "Are you the grandson of the Gambling King, He Zheng?"

"Yes, big brother did you recognize me? Did you hear that I am handsomely stylish and debonair? Did you feel I'm so handsome that it's indescribable, making you want to worship me?" He Zheng looked hopefully at Jiang Chen.

"Um..."

Jiang Chen suddenly regretted engaging with He Zheng, feeling somewhat at a loss for words, and turned to Lou Qiangqiang.

Lou Qiangqiang, helplessly facepalming, said: "How the hell did I become friends with such a narcissist? He Zheng, your shamelessness honestly makes me feel the urge to worship it!"

"Haha! As long as it makes people want to worship, being shameless is a talent too!" He Zheng shamelessly accepted the compliment.

"Damn, I can't take this anymore! Big brother, shall we go?" Lou Qiangqiang, looking bitter, turned to Jiang Chen. From his expression, it seemed if Jiang Chen didn't agree to leave, he might actually throw up.

Jiang Chen chuckled and nodded, and Lou Qiangqiang hastily pulled him towards the car.

"Ah! I was just born to make people jealous!" He Zheng boasted confidently, slowly making his way towards the car.

"Big brother, let me tell you, in Haojiang, just have fun to your heart's content. No matter what problems you encounter, just drop my name, it will surely do the trick!"

Inside the stretched Lincoln, He Zheng looked at Jiang Chen with pride, thumping his chest.

"He Zheng, can you stop bragging? Don't you know who acts like a little grandson in front of Prince?" Lou Qiangqiang rolled his eyes at He Zheng and retorted sarcastically.

He Zheng glared and indignantly said: "Nonsense, Lou Qiangqiang are you dumb? He's my grandfather, wouldn't I act like his grandson? I am actually his grandson, obviously!"

"You..."

Lou Qiangqiang was just about to retort, but suddenly realized, that statement really made sense, leaving him no room to argue!

What a laugh!

"Haha..."

"They really are a pair of jokers!"

Jiang Chen and his friends couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing that Lou Qiangqiang had nothing to say, He Zheng smugly raised his eyebrows at him, then turned his head to Jiang Chen and said meaningfully: "Big bro, today I'll show you something!"

"Show me? Show me what?" Jiang Chen looked at He Zheng, puzzled.

"Aren't you here to tour Haojiang? Since you're touring Haojiang, you must check out the casinos!"

He Zheng stated matter-of-factly, "Let me tell you, our casinos in Haojiang are not like those back Inland. Those tiny places you call casinos can't really be called casinos at all, they're just betting shops. Our casinos here in Haojiang, those are the real deal. Today, I'm going to show you around and, by the way, see how great you really are!"

"Hmm? See how great I am?" Jiang Chen grew increasingly puzzled.

He Zheng glanced at Lou Qiangqiang with a defiant face and said, "Qiangqiang keeps telling me how great and awesome you are, I want to see if you're as incredible as he says. Of course, if you don't gamble, then forget I said anything!"

"He Zheng, are you provoking my big bro?" Lou Qiangqiang's face darkened as he stared intently at He Zheng.

He Zheng turned to look at Lou Qiangqiang, "Qiangqiang, I consider you a brother, and I know you truly respect him from the bottom of your heart, but let's set things straight. You are my brother, but he is not. I can call him 'big bro' following your lead, but if you want me to truly respect him and genuinely help him, I need to see what he's capable of."

"Help... What are you talking about? When did I ever ask you to help my big bro? Does my big bro need your help?" Lou Qiangqiang's eyes flickered with a panicky expression as he awkwardly retorted.

Jiang Chen looked deeply at He Zheng and said with a light chuckle, "I almost misjudged the situation. Qiangqiang, stop arguing, he has figured it out!"

"I..."

Lou Qiangqiang's eyes showed a hint of guilt, and he embarrassingly lowered his head.

"Enough!"

Jiang Chen reached out and patted Lou Qiangqiang on the head, "I know your personality, kid. I didn't expect you to keep it hidden when I asked you to come over."

He Zheng narrowed his eyes, looking puzzled at Jiang Chen, "You knew Qiangqiang would be exposed?"

"Exposed? Haha!"

Jiang Chen laughed, "I brought Qiangqiang here, not as an undercover agent. What's there to expose?"

He Zheng furrowed his brows, staring straight into Jiang Chen's eyes, "What are you here in Haojiang for?"

"Relax, it's not directed at your family," Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"But, why do I feel like it is targeted at my family?" He Zheng said sternly.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, looking at He Zheng in surprise.

"Eighty percent of the pharmaceutical companies and sixty percent of the import-export channels in Haojiang are owned by the He Family!" Zhu Yan said softly.

"I see!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Zhu Yan, then looked up at He Zheng, "If that's the case, there really might be some intent against your family!"

Suddenly, Lou Qiangqiang caught on, turned violently to He Zheng, eyes wide with shock, "He Zheng, you bastard, have you been fooling me all along? You figured out my purpose from the beginning, you've been playing me?"

"Qiangqiang, I haven't been playing you!"

At that moment, He Zheng looked earnestly at Lou Qiangqiang and started speaking sincerely.
