Li Xingchen, lost all his color, only his pairs of eyes fell on Jiang Yufeng’s big hand. A hand that was still stained with blood, and lowering down he saw that gripped firmly within that hand were two photos of his.
Jiang Yufeng seeing him not moving for a long time thought he was unwilling, and his brows unconsciously frowned and asked, “Is it inconvenient?”
Not only Jiang Yufeng did have a paralyzed and cold face, he also had a deep voice, which work wonders of giving off an eerie vibe. Turning what was meant to be a polite inquiry into a threatening and creepy demand to the two people in the car.
Li Xingchen just looked at him silently and slightly at a loss. Meanwhile, the cousin sitting beside Li Xingchen, who bore a striking resemblance to him yet with slightly altered features, was so petrified by the unfolding scene that he shut his eyes tightly and wailed loudly: “You let us go!”
It was only then that Jiang Yufeng realized that it was he who had frightened these two people.
He knew that he looked scary, but he had just drawn his sword to help him when he saw an injustice, and he didn’t expect that this situation would still arise. He shook his head dumbfounded took back his hand and turned his head to Qiao Wen who at some point got out and was walking over, showing a helpless expression: “Awen, you tell them!”
It wasn’t until Qiao Wen’s white and beautiful face that he leaned into the car door, the howling ghosts and wolves stopped abruptly.
“Mr. Li, don’t be afraid. We are not bad guys. We just saw you being followed in from the Lida restaurant and felt something was wrong, so we followed you. The robbers have been subdued by my elder brother. You can call the police.”
Li Xinghai, the cousin of Li Xingchen who just kept crying and howling, looked up at the smiling teenager, and felt that he didn’t look like a bad person. He was finally relieved, but his gaze caught Qiao Wen’s side, Jiang Yufeng, like seeing a Rakshasa, shuddered again, and asked with uncertainty: “You guys really aren’t robbers?”
Jiang Yufeng sighed helplessly, and Qiao Wen said, “Do you think my brother looks like a robber?”
Li Xinghai tilted his head towards Qiao Wen and muttered in a low voice: “It’s not quite like that.”
Despite saying that he firmly seated on the car. Li Xingchen crossed over to him and stepped down from the car. The sight before him caused him to took a sharp breath, the robbers who were clamoring just now fell in a pool of blood, twitching and groaning, immediately he turned around and thanked them heartily, “Thanks for the two of you for your righteousness and help.”
Then he called the driver in the distance and instructed him to go to the nearby public phone to call the police.
Jiang Yufeng, a person who hangs out on the street, was naturally most taboo about dealing with the police. He said: “Since it’s okay here, we’ll go first. Could you please sign for me Mr. Li.”
Li Xingchen looked up at him, despite his efforts to put on a pleasant expression, it was still a bit intimidating.
Qiao Wen saw this popular big star, full of consternation, hurriedly explained: “My elder brother’s sister really likes Mr. Li’s starring role in ‘Love is Priceless’, so he, as an elder brother, in order to satisfy his younger sister’s wishes went to the western restaurant and mixed along with the paparazzi waited for Mr. Li to come out, just to get an autograph. If it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t happen to run into the robbers and your car.”
“Oh.” Li Xingchen nodded his head numbly, took the two photos, and took out a Montblanc pen from his trouser pocket, signed his name on the bottom and back of the photo, and handed it back to Jiang Yufeng.
When Jiang Yufeng retrieved the photo back, the stain on his hand accidentally stained it. Startled he quickly wiped his hand on his clothes, and carefully brushed off the smudge with his fingers ensuring that not a speck of imperfection remained. Only then did he carefully tuck it back into his pocket, guarding it like a priceless treasure
The way he handled these seemingly ordinary photographs with such care and devotion caught Li Xingchen off guard, causing his ears redden slightly.
Nevertheless, Jiang Yufeng remained oblivious to the impact of his actions on others, as having secured the coveted autographed photo, he paid no further attention to the famous celebrity standing before him. With a flash of realization, he turned to Qiao Wen and inquired, “Awen, don’t you have something to look for Mr. Li?”
Qiao Wen with a hum, took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Xingchen: “I am the secretary of a clothing company. Our company has created a new brand. It is about to launch recently. We would like to ask Mr. Li to be our brand ambassador. If Mr. Li is willing to consider, you can take time to inspect the production line of our factory and discuss it in detail before making a decision.”
Li Xingchen’s cousin who was scared out of his wits, at this moment finally walked out of the car with a shiver. Hearing what he said, he shouted, “What kind of work and what brand?”
He was about to snatch the business card directly from Qiao Wen’s hands, but Qiao Wen avoided it without a trace and sent it to Li Xingchen with a smile.
Li Xingchen took the business card, glanced at the name on it, and politely handed him his card, nodded, “I will have time tomorrow morning.”
Qiao Wen curled his lips and smiled: “Then my boss and I will wait for Mr. Li’s arrival.”
It was faintly audible that a police car was sirening in the distance. Jiang Yufeng patted Qiao Wen’s shoulder and urged: “Awen, let’s go!”
Seeing this, Li Xingchen said in a hurry, “Many thanks to the two of you for your help today, I still don’t know how to address this big brother?”
Jiang Yufeng dragged Qiao Wen to the small pickup and waved his hands without looking back, “It’s just a trivial matter, it’s not worth mentioning.”
Getting into the car, Qiao Wen looked forward through the windshield. Li Xingchen, standing next to the dark blue Mercedes-Benz, kept looking at them intently. His lips were slightly opened and closed, as if wanting to speak.
Jiang Yufeng on the other hand, had already left the popular youngster behind, he turned the steering wheel with one hand, took the photo from his pants pocket with the other hand, and put it in the glove box. The corner of his mouth curled up in a pleasant arc, obviously satisfied with his harvest today.
Qiao Wen shook his head with a smile, then looked at Li Xingchen’s business card in his hand, and said, “Brother Feng, thank you for today.”
Jiang Yufeng was unclear: “Thank me for what?”
Qiao Wen said, “Thank you for saving Li Xingchen. When we approached him earlier to talk about shooting an advertisement, his cousin asked for a lot of money and it was impossible to negotiate. If it wasn’t for you saving them, he wouldn’t have agreed to visit our factory tomorrow to discuss it in detail.”
Jiang Yufeng frowned, turned his head to look at him. “Awen, why didn’t you tell Brother Feng when you encounter this kind of thing?”
Qiao Wen was unsure as he met his murderous face, especially the truncated eyebrow. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that he knew what kind of person Jiang Yufeng was, just looking at his face now would indeed be quiet intimidating.
Jiang Yufeng continued: “I have helped lot of people resolve this issue many times when we can’t agree on business deals. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just tell Brother Feng.”
Qiao Wen: “???” No. Not necessarily.
Jiang Yufeng curved his lips and let out a light smile, saying, “Don’t worry, Brother Feng doesn’t have to use his fists for everything. I came out to mix at the age of fourteen, and I know quite a few people in the white and black paths, so as long as it’s not too big of a deal, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Qiao Wen also laughed: “I know that Brother Feng has the ability.”
Jiang Yufeng shook his head disapprovingly: “What am I capable of? In the end, I still rely on my fists. Unlike Awen, you reads a lot and is able to rely on real skills to make money nowadays.” After a pause, he said, “Right, recently Anan has gone a little overboard outside the walled city. I’m afraid that something will happen to him. I reminded him a few times, but I don’t know if he listened to it, you should also give him good advice.”
Qiao Wen nodded: “Well, I have heard it too, I will remind him.”
Jiang Yufeng was silent for a moment, and then said: “This road is not easy to walk, I don’t want to stand by and watch him sink too deeper beyond the reach of pulling out.”
