Chapter 429: 415 Are you talking about the Jiang Family’s Legitimate Miss? (1)

Jin Kai looked at Jiang Chuanning with slitted eyes, his pupils brimming with mocking laughter.

Sitting there as if he had no fear, he provocatively said, "Boss Jiang, someone who has just arrived in Hua Country, what do you know about the conflicts within Mainland Entertainment? How I wish to act has never depended on the size of the opposing force, but solely on my own desires to act!"

Mercilessness has always been daunting, and while Jin Kai’s tactics were not particularly clever within the entire circle, they were definitely ruthless!

Like a madman, few would willingly entangle themselves with him.

Jiang Chuanning understood and let out a relieved chuckle, "No wonder then, no wonder she would seek you out, because you two are cut from the same cloth."

"Her?" Jin Kai sensed something, his tone casual as he said, "What are you putting on airs for?"

Yan Yueqing also looked at Teacher Jiang curiously.

What he said... did it mean the same thing as she understood?

Jiang Chuanning spoke unhurriedly: "Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence, after taking over Zhongxing, I faced some resistance. Not from within, but from external sources..."

External...

Yan Wang, at the surveillance before, suddenly furrowed his brows.

Could it be that aunt who hasn’t quite died off? Jiang Ke, always after his mother’s life?

Jin Kai pretended not to understand: "So what?"

Jiang Chuanning said bluntly, "I’ve looked through your information, and though Mr. Jin is rather ruthless, you don’t seem to make enemies everywhere. Zhongxing’s reforms might be hasty and aggressive for Mainland Entertainment, offending many people’s interests... But frankly, company reforms and innovations aren’t exclusive to Zhongxing, so why do you insist on targeting it?"

"Interestingly, the data shows that in the past two months, Mr. Jin has been in contact with an unknown number from overseas. Who is that person? What promises did they give you to make you take the risk of exposing yourself and insist on dragging Zhongxing down?"

Jin Kai laughed with extreme scorn as if he had no intention of answering that question.

Yan Yueqing asked softly, "Teacher Jiang, is it... Jiang Ke?"

Her voice was very soft.

Jiang Chuanning raised his hand lightly with a calm and composed demeanor, indicating that she need not worry.

He then looked at Jin Kai, "You don’t have to answer, these things aren’t hard to investigate. I just wanted to offer you a chance for reflection, that’s all."

Jin Kai was very arrogant, "Jiang Chuanning, what status do you have? You want to give me a chance?"

"Your tone is so bold, it seems like your cards are quite substantial..." Jiang Chuanning chuckled, tossing out truths like olive branches, revealing the truths Jin Kai had buried.

"Thirteen years ago, you entered the industry to become an agent. Though you had many talents under you, few were notable. Initially, you worked hard to secure endorsements for them with drink deals, but after finally making two of them famous, they went straight to a rival company, leaving you to face management’s rebuke and punishment..."

"Demoted from agent to a menial worker on a filming set, you must have felt quite discontent? Eight years ago, you accidentally got a channel, obtained some grade D substances, and began attempting to mix them in with various things, dealing with less popular talents..."

"This move was damaging but effective; many slowly became addicted and started to flock to you. The company noticed something was wrong, but you were not an easy one, silently enduring for years, you gathered much dirt on senior management... As a trade-off, they put you back in the agent position."

"The taste of a revenge-filled script must be delightful? Too bad you gradually lost yourself in it. Over the years dealing in D, you’ve indeed met quite a few formidable people. Working with them wasn’t necessarily the best choice, but the profit was indeed significant... Especially after collaborating with Azure Dragon, you had an independent source of narcotics, and your actions grew increasingly arrogant and ruthless."

Jin Kai listened silently, his expression unchanged.

"Jiang Chuanning, did you come specifically to talk about my past? You really don’t have to! These matters are somewhat secret, but anyone with a bit of power can easily look them up. Your petty tricks are not up to par for negotiating with me!"

Jiang Chuanning adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

His normally kind and benevolent demeanor gradually turned frosty with this gesture.

His gentle eyes, now like a hawk eyeing its prey, carried a certain deadly chill.

"Mr. Jin, why the rush? I was just talking about the beginning."

He paused, gazing directly into Jin Kai’s eyes, lips curling into a smile: "Six years ago, at XXK Club, you forced an up-and-coming artist to inject Drug D. When they struggled intensely and eventually died of an overdose, you finally got scared. You pulled many strings to barely suppress the matter."

"Four years ago, that artist’s parents came to you with some evidence, demanding money. You decided to take drastic action. How did you deal with them? And how did you cover it up afterward?"

"It’s not just one case of a human life; there were even more economic disputes. To cover the massive black income, you funneled most of the money overseas to launder it, turning it into legal earnings. The bulk of it is now in a Swiss bank, a small amount then transferred back to the domestic market for operations."

"Paying off connections, purchasing drugs, clearing out pathways... all of these expenses are not trifling! Moreover, a lot has to be circulated in the middle, leading to even greater losses... One could say that, though you seem to be in a glorious position now, aside from the hefty sum overseas you can’t easily touch, your finances are actually quite strained, aren’t they?"

Jin Kai, having his sore spot hit, grew impatient: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want to say... what if, at this moment, a person of high status and power appears who not only helps you with a few words to clear the negative impact of the human life lawsuit but also provides you with a substantial sum of money, solving your urgent crisis..." Jiang Chuanning said with a light chuckle, "It wouldn’t hurt to do a bit of work for him, would it?"

Taking a deep breath, Jin Kai responded: "I might be down on my luck now, but it is not your place to mock me! Jiang Chuanning, you might be somewhat capable, but isn’t it only through your family’s power that you were able to find out about my past?"

Jiang Chuanning replied with a smile, interrupting: "Being born into the Jiang Family is my good fortune."

Indeed, he did rely on the Jiang Family’s power to uncover the facts; there was no need to deny it.

Seeing him so highly value the Jiang Family, Jin Kai sneered: "After all, as a steward, you should just wait out your days on the estate without a care in the world. Yet you insisted on meddling in Hua Country’s affairs and got yourself blackmailed... Heh, what does it matter if you’ve sent me here? It won’t take long for me to get out! And when that time comes, you’ll see what’s coming to you!"

Yan Yueqing frowned upon hearing this.

Could it be...

Did Jin Kai really connect with Jiang Ke’s path?

But wasn’t she still in the Water Prison?

Could it be her remaining faction?

Jiang Chuanning’s smile deepened: "You’re right, as a steward, I really shouldn’t meddle in this matter... You don’t wish to communicate with me, naturally because I’m not qualified enough... After all, that person’s status is very noble! She initiated contact with you, how could you care for someone of a steward’s background like me?"

A steward’s background?

Yan Yueqing suddenly realized something and looked at Teacher Jiang with great surprise.

Unaware that anything was amiss and even thinking that Jiang Chuanning had finally guessed that person’s identity, he sneered arrogantly: "I’ve seen a lot of big family squabbles. It’s every man for himself. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t rival that noble identity! The cards you hold, she has them too. The power you lack, she still possesses! Fighting against the legitimate Miss of the Jiang Family, you’re completely seeking your own death!"

Jiang Chuanning calmly and composedly uttered, "The legitimate Miss of the Jiang Family? Which one could that be?"
