Chapter 1527: Chapter 1528: Did You Really Graduate from a Prestigious University?
Cui Jiangjing naturally let go of his hand, being overwhelmed by her aura.
“You know that…”
He paused for a moment, “Chu Xi is very likely the eldest daughter of the Chu Family. If you know the Chu Family, you should know their background is far from being a simple powerful family. Their business deals are all in the black industry chain; unlike our family or Fu Yi’s family which have clean records. They do both legal and illegal businesses, and ordinary people mean nothing to them. Their foundation is overseas, and they care little for domestic laws. The concept of ‘a life for a life’ doesn’t apply to them.”
In a nutshell, the Chu Family members may not all be lawless, but the businesses they run and the people under them are plenty of desperados. To quietly deal with an ordinary person is as easy for them as crushing an ant.
Shengxiao can oppose the Chu Family because he has the support of the Li Family and the Lin Family.
He didn’t want this woman to get into trouble out of impulse.
“In many places around the world, killing does not require repaying with life. Only in peaceful places do they emphasize law. In chaotic places, only strength matters. Whoever has the hard fist gets to speak! It’s been a long time since I last fought anyone. Today, my hands suddenly itch, wanting to hit someone.” She demonstrated with her right hand, looking handsome with a faint smile, making Cui Jiangjing’s heart skip a beat.
He still didn’t let go, his handsome face full of worry, “… It’s too risky.”
Gu Linxi glanced at him sideways, calm and composed, “I dare move only when I am sure. Alright, where is the person? If you’re afraid of causing trouble, I’ll go by myself. You can wait outside or go home.”
Damn!
Cui Jiangjing bit his cheek, squinting his eyes, fuming, “How could I possibly leave you and run away?”
Gu Linxi didn’t catch why he was angry, her eyes innocent, “You’re not leaving me, I’m the one telling you to go. Besides, you’d be of no help here. It’s better if you just go back. I can do this alone.”
If he stayed, she’d have to worry about protecting him, which was too troublesome!
Cui Jiangjing sensed the disdain in her tone, and his male pride was crushed to pieces. He gritted his teeth, grabbing the girl’s arm, and said word by word, “I’ll go with you! Across knife mountains and sea of flames, I’m there with you! Isn’t it just the Chu Family? If you want to deal with them, we’ll deal with them together!”
The word “deal” shocked Gu Linxi to the core, she rolled her eyes at him with obvious contempt, and hesitated before saying, “Are you sure you graduated from Jianying University?”
Cui Jiangjing’s face turned a rare shade of red, shamelessly saying, “Jianying University doesn’t teach Chinese.”
“True.” Gu Linxi, reflecting on it, found some sense in his words, quietly withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, and walked towards the police station…
“Wait for me.” Cui Jiangjing followed closely, afraid she would shake him off, behaving totally unlike his usual proud and dignified self, overly eager and clingy.
Standing aside, Gu Ming was dumbstruck and couldn’t help but marvel, “Is this still Mr. Cui?”
Wherever Mr. Cui went, he was always surrounded by girls, passing through a garden of flowers without leaving a trace. Though gentle to girls, deep down he was colder and more ruthless than Mr. Li, who appeared distant but was actually more considerate. When had he ever seen the usually teasing and composed Mr. Cui trailing after a woman like this? Judging from the look of it, this wasn’t the first time either, as that Miss Gu didn’t seem at all surprised, only a bit impatient…
