If people from Dingjing or Jinhai were this humble towards me, I wouldn't find it surprising at all, after all, I'm a business magnate of both markets.
But Pu Minsung is the second young master of the Sangsen Group from the Southern Country, such low-profile humility is quite thought-provoking. No matter how much he wants to push forward this cooperation, it shouldn't bring his posture so low!
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by this? Why have you kept us waiting here for so long? Do you not take our Sangsen Group seriously?" Assistant Kim looked at Jiang Chen with dissatisfaction and spoke harshly.
Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Assistant Kim, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, this is my assistant, Miss Kim Zhizhu." Pu Minsung apologized and explained, then turned his head and scolded Kim Zhizhu, "Assistant Kim, apologize to Mr. Jiang!"
"Mr. Pu, your temper is just too good. We are here to give them money, there's no need to put up with their attitudes, and certainly no need for an apology from you. It's him who should be apologizing to us."
Assistant Kim unyieldingly rejected Pu Minsung's words, turned her head with arrogance, and looked at Jiang Chen, "Our Sangsen Group is a world-renowned electronic industry giant, Mr. Jiang, you need to adjust your attitude. Please apologize to us immediately, otherwise, you might miss out on this cooperation."
Pu Minsung looked at Assistant Kim with a face full of anxiety and helplessness, then turned to Jiang Chen with an apologetic smile.
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at Assistant Kim, and looked at Pu Minsung with a meaningful gaze.
A strange look appeared in Pu Minsung's eyes, and he glanced at Assistant Kim.
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, his eyes turned, and he called out, "Security!"
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound of footsteps arose, and two security guards walked into the reception room.
"Kick this impolite woman out!" Jiang Chen pointed at Assistant Kim and ordered.
Assistant Kim's face changed, and she shouted, "Mr. Jiang, what are you trying to do? Do you still want to go ahead with this cooperation?"
Without another word, the two security guards grabbed Assistant Kim by the arms and dragged her towards the door.
"Let me go!" Assistant Kim struggled a bit, realizing she couldn't break free, and turned to shout at Pu Minsung, "Mr. Pu, you..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Chen shouted lowly, interrupting Assistant Kim, and commanded sternly, "Throw her out!"
The security guards no longer showed any courtesy and directly carried Assistant Kim out, removing her from the reception room.
After glancing at the door that the guards closed behind them, Jiang Chen turned his head and spoke with deep significance, "Mr. Pu, now that the show is over, don't you think... we can be frank with each other?"
"Mr. Jiang, I apologize for the harassment of Miss Ye Jingyi during this time!" Pu Minsung's expression became serious, and he bowed to Jiang Chen, then said with hope, "Mr. Jiang, I need to ask for your help."
"Speak!" Jiang Chen said indifferently, gesturing towards the sofa nearby, and walked over.
After sitting down, Pu Minsung spoke urgently, "Mr. Jiang, please save my mother! She was captured by Pu Juncheng to threaten me not to complete the deal with you, and my mother is being held somewhere in Jinhai. I have no one to help me here, please help me."
Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, then frowned lightly, "Explain in detail, why is this happening?"
"It seems that amongst the wealthy, there's always a tale of gratitude and grudges!"
Having listened to Pu Minsung's account, Jiang Chen murmured softly.
Pu Minsung was the second son of Pu Zhengmin, the chairman of Sangsen Group, but he was not born of the same mother as Pu Juncheng; their emotional entanglement was very complex. Originally, Pu Zhengmin dated Pu Minsung's mother, but later due to family interests, he had to abandon her and marry Pu Juncheng's mother.
However, after marrying and having Pu Juncheng, Pu Zhengmin found out that Pu Minsung's mother was already pregnant when they had split up.
Thus, Pu Zhengmin worked fervently, and within ten years, he had completely taken control of the family business. He forcefully brought back Pu Minsung and his mother.
At that time, Pu Minsung was finally recognized by his ancestry. He was actually a year older than Pu Juncheng, but due to the disgrace associated with premarital pregnancy and birth, Pu Minsung had to settle for the role of the younger brother.
Because of this, and because of his guilt from the past, Pu Zhengmin was especially good to Pu Minsung and his mother, even showing signs of letting Pu Minsung take over Sangsen Group. However, this was strongly opposed by the clan elders and Pu Juncheng's maternal family. Thus, the matter of the successor's identity arose.
For a long time, Pu Juncheng and his mother had regarded Pu Minsung and his mother as thorns in their side. On this trip to Jinhai, while Pu Zhengmin was away inspecting the Northern Alliance, Pu Juncheng's mother took the opportunity to capture Pu Minsung's mother.
Pu Minsung was very astute, and he wouldn't compromise without seeing the person in question, so Pu Juncheng's mother arranged for his mother to be brought to Jinhai to threaten him.
As for the assistant Kim, he was a spy Pu Juncheng had planted beside Pu Minsung. Pu Minsung was aware of this, but without the means to retaliate due to his mother being held, he couldn't act against it.
"Why do you think I can help you?" Jiang Chen looked at Pu Minsung with some confusion. They had not previously interacted much, so why would Pu Minsung seek him out?
By now, he had figured it out.
Pu Minsung's previous pretense of pursuing Ye Jingyi was all an act. First, it was to dispel Pu Juncheng's suspicions, as it now seemed that both of them knew Ye Jingyi was his wife. Secondly, he wanted to use the situation to draw him out.
"I was college classmates with Mr. Howard of Dark Night Angel. Originally, I wanted to ask for his help but since the Flame Dragon Kingdom is a forbidden land for sect powers, Mr. Howard didn't want to interfere here and recommended you to me," Pu Minsung stated candidly.
"Howard?" Jiang Chen looked astonished.
What was Dark Night Angel up to?
Not only did they protect his woman but also presented him with such a big gift?
If he could save Pu Minsung's mother and reach a cooperation with Pu Minsung, it would mean Pu Minsung owed him two big favors. If Pu Minsung became the heir to the Sangsen Group, this would be a significant boost. But what did Dark Night Angel want in return?
Jiang Chen's mind was filled with increasing suspicion.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Howard also had a message for you," Pu Minsung hesitated for a moment before speaking solemnly.
Jiang Chen replied softly, "Go ahead."
"Howard said that when slaves from the Grand Beast Arena are redeemed, their slave contracts need to be destroyed in person. Mengte De'er's contract has been destroyed, but Miss Snake Woman's contract was not requested by Mr. Jiang at that time. According to the rules, if the contract is not destroyed, it's as if the person wasn't redeemed," relayed Pu Minsung the message from Howard.
Jiang Chen's expression darkened, and a cold murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
