"He is a security guard at Baoxue Company, an employee under General Manager Liu, and also my friend."
Seeing Jiang Huan's expression turn grim, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, Su Feifei quickly declared Chu Lingtian her friend, hoping to prevent Jiang Huan from harming him.
"Your friend? Feifei, you are the most popular celebrity in Long Country. With your esteemed status, how can you be friends with a lowly security guard from the bottom of society?"
Jiang Huan asked Su Feifei coldly in public, displeased.
"People are not divided into high and low classes. Besides, who I choose to be friends with is not for you to decide."
Su Feifei had always disliked Jiang Huan, finding him arrogant and audacious. Being questioned publicly like this by him made her very angry, and she retorted sharply.
Jiang Huan frowned and said, "Feifei, you are my girlfriend, and your affairs are my affairs. How can you say I can't make decisions for you? Are you going to abandon me, your boyfriend, for this trash security guard named Chu?"
"Young Master Jiang, Feifei didn't mean it that way. She's just a little shaken from the kidnapping incident. And it's Chu Lingtian who has been pestering our Feifei, insisting on being friends with her," Cai Hong said, fearing that if Su Feifei angered Jiang Huan, it would affect Su Feifei's smooth marriage into the Jiang family.
"Mom..."
Su Feifei was about to retort but was forcefully pulled aside by Cai Hong.
Cai Hong glared at Su Feifei and asked, "Feifei, are you trying to make me die of anger?"
"Mom, I've told you countless times that I don't like Jiang Huan and I don't want to marry into the Jiang family. I've never acknowledged Jiang Huan as my boyfriend, yet you insist on forcing me. Moreover, Chu Lingtian saved us, but you insist on twisting the facts and attributing the credit to Jiang Huan. Now you're slandering Chu Lingtian, claiming he's desperately trying to befriend me. You've gone too far!" Su Feifei's expression showed she had reached her limit.
*Slap!*
Cai Hong slapped Su Feifei hard across the face and whispered fiercely, "You ungrateful girl, I'm doing all this for your own good. If you dare to anger Jiang Huan for this useless man, Chu Lingtian, and jeopardize your marriage into the Jiang family, I'll die for you to see!"
With that, Cai Hong immediately walked back to Jiang Huan's side and began to smooth things over for Su Feifei's defiance.
Su Feifei felt like crying but had no tears. For years, her mother, Cai Hong, had threatened her life to force her to do things she didn't want to do. She felt helpless because Cai Hong was her mother, the one who gave birth to her and raised her. They had relied on each other for so many years. If her mother were to die, she would have no one left in the world. Therefore, every time Cai Hong threatened to end her life, Su Feifei had no choice but to swallow her pride and compromise.
"Feifei, hurry and come here. Young Master Jiang has just told me that as long as you promise not to associate with Chu Lingtian anymore, he will not pursue Chu Lingtian's presumptuousness and will let him off the hook." Cai Hong said to Su Feifei, who remained standing still.
Jiang Huan smiled coldly and said arrogantly, "Feifei, you know my strength and temper. This trash security guard named Chu who dared to defy me deserves to die. However, I can give Chu Lingtian another chance to live, out of respect for you and General Manager Liu. Otherwise, with a single word from me, my armed bodyguards would blow his dog head off and he'd die on the spot. Killing him would be easier than crushing an ant."
Su Feifei frowned. She knew of Jiang Huan's power and ruthlessness and could only nod reluctantly.
Liu Bingxue also smiled at Jiang Huan and said, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your magnanimity. I will discipline Chu Lingtian properly when we get back."
"Then let's go." Jiang Huan turned and walked towards his Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Cai Hong took Su Feifei's hand, and Liu Bingxue followed behind them as they all got into Jiang Huan's car. A Rolls-Royce Phantom led the way, followed by three black Audi sedans, with over a dozen elite armed bodyguards constantly ensuring Jiang Huan's safety. People with such a retinue and power in the city were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.
Inside the car, Jiang Huan sat in the single leather seat in the middle, with Cai Hong and Su Feifei on the left, and Liu Bingxue on the right.
"Young Master Jiang, why are you in Dachang City?" Cai Hong asked, breaking the awkward atmosphere. She worried that Su Feifei's stubbornness might anger Jiang Huan again.
Since getting into the car, Jiang Huan had been surreptitiously observing Su Feifei and Liu Bingxue, from their faces to their chests and then their buttocks. As the young master of the prestigious Jiang family in the capital, he had seen and had many beautiful women. However, women like Su Feifei and Liu Bingxue were yet to be possessed, especially not together in bed. Jiang Huan was already fantasizing about how to get both these stunning beauties into his bed and make them beg him.
Hearing Cai Hong's question, Jiang Huan snapped back to reality and replied with a smile, "I'm in Dachang City to attend Feifei's concert, and also to handle some family matters."
"Oh, that's wonderful. With Young Master Jiang here, Feifei's personal safety is absolutely guaranteed," Cai Hong said with delight.
"Don't worry, Aunt Cai. As long as I'm here, anyone who dares to harm Feifei will die," Jiang Huan said in a tone filled with dominance and arrogance. However, given his family background and the team of elite armed bodyguards he had with him, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant and overbearing in the city.
"Young Master Jiang, have the other three kidnappers been interrogated yet?" Liu Bingxue urgently wanted to know who had sent the four kidnappers and why. She had already been targeted twice before, and without Chu Lingtian by her side, who knew what her fate would have been. She was desperate to know who wanted to harm her and what deep-seated hatred they harbored.
"I'll make a call." Jiang Huan paused for a moment and then took out his phone, making a call.
When the call was connected, Jiang Huan asked coldly, "What? The three kidnappers refused to reveal the mastermind and fought back to their deaths, and were all shot dead by you?"
After hanging up, Jiang Huan looked at the stunned Liu Bingxue, Su Feifei, and Cai Hong and said, "The three kidnappers resisted to the death, refusing to reveal the mastermind, and were all shot dead by my bodyguards."
"This... Young Master Jiang, won't your subordinates face any trouble for killing people so recklessly? What about the police..." Cai Hong exclaimed in shock, but before she could finish her question, Jiang Huan interrupted her.
Jiang Huan seized the opportunity to once again put Su Feifei and Liu Bingxue in their place, flaunting his power and laughing arrogantly:
"Laws and regulations are for ordinary people. For people like us in high society, assaulting or killing someone brings no consequences. That's why that security guard named Chu dared to defy me in public. If it weren't for Feifei and President Liu, I would have ordered my men to shoot him dead and throw his corpse to the wild dogs."
