"Damn! How did this happen? I saved two drug dealers?" Jiang Chen thought, recalling Wang Meng's claim that they were undercover agents. Although he had saved them, it was clear that he had not yet earned their trust. With this in mind, he turned to Wang Meng.
"Wang Meng, is what he said true? You just said they were undercover, but they claim to be your subordinates!"
Wang Meng quickly replied, "Mr. Jiang, before anyone exposed them, I believed their story. They indeed came to me for refuge ten years ago. At that time, I sent a trusted aide to transport a large shipment of drugs to your country's Southeast Province. Unfortunately, the drugs were all seized, and my aide and his men were mostly captured. Only this couple managed to escape and eventually made their way here. They claimed to be my aide's subordinates, so I took them in. However, last month when I went to Hong Kong Island, someone identified them as undercover agents from your country, which is why I arrested them!"
"General Wang Meng, they're just trying to sow discord!" interjected a middle-aged woman.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen had a rough idea of the situation.
"Jin Liu, Mei Dong, there's no need to address Wang Meng as 'General' anymore. His men have been eliminated; he can no longer produce or traffic drugs. For now, I'm not interested in your identities. It's clear that Wang Meng is a drug lord. I'll leave him in your hands; do as you see fit! As for me, I have my own matters to attend to."
Jin Liu and Mei Dong's eyes lit up at this and they quickly agreed.
Jiang Chen then left. He wasn't worried about Wang Meng making a comeback in drug trafficking; if that happened, he would surely lose his life next time he came back.
Jiang Chen also decided not to linger in the Golden Triangle any longer. The turmoil there wouldn't settle overnight. As long as there were profits at stake, even with a knife to their throats, people would take risks.
However, with the two warlord drug lord factions of Kunshan and Wang Meng gone, the Golden Triangle should be quiet for a while.
After resolving matters there, Jiang Chen returned to Huaxia.
Just after crossing the border and preparing to take a bus to Kun City, his phone rang; it was Teacher Gong calling.
Jiang Chen answered the phone and heard Teacher Gong's somewhat excited voice on the other end.
"Jiang Chen, I'm getting married on National Day! You must come to my wedding!"
"Sure! No problem! Which hotel? Noon or evening?" Jiang Chen replied with a smile. He was genuinely happy for Teacher Gong.
"Sky Harbor Grand Hotel, at 6 PM," Teacher Gong answered.
"Alright! I'll definitely be there!"
After hanging up the phone, Teacher Gong sent an electronic invitation to Jiang Chen. He read it carefully and felt very pleased.
The bus ride from the border to Kun City took several hours. Once on the bus, Jiang Chen closed his eyes to rest.
After spending a night in Kun City, he called Li Huaihu in the evening to check on Qin Huansha's school situation. Li Huaihu mentioned encountering a female assassin on the way but managed to drive her off without harming her.
Jiang Chen speculated that this female assassin was likely Lin Yin. Since Lin Yin couldn't defeat Li Huaihu, Jiang Chen had specifically instructed Li Huaihu not to harm her.
The next day, Jiang Chen flew back to Nangang City. Lin Yin came to pick him up in her car.
"Wow! That beauty is driving such a nice car; I wonder who she's here for?"
"Bring her boyfriend along! Look, he's just a young guy. But isn't he a bit too young?"
"..."
Driving a Bentley and looking so beautiful, Lin Yin inevitably attracted attention.
"Have you been away for so long?" Lin Yin asked when she saw Jiang Chen.
"Yeah, some things came up!" Jiang Chen casually replied. In truth, he had spent a considerable amount of time in seclusion for cultivation.
"You've been out for almost a month!"
"Oh, right, today is the thirtieth. I'll stay one night tomorrow, but the day after I have to go out again. I might be away for most of October too!"
"Ah, you're only home for such a short time?" After saying this, Lin Yin felt it was a bit off! After all, they weren't married.
Jiang Chen didn't pay much attention to it.
During the National Day holiday, all major hotels were filled with wedding banquets.
In the evening, around five-thirty, Jiang Chen drove to Sky Harbor Grand Hotel, with Lin Yin accompanying him. He thought having a stunning beauty by his side would be beneficial in such an occasion, so he agreed to let her come along.
The appearance of Jiang Chen and Lin Yin was particularly eye-catching. First of all, his car was the most luxurious; upon seeing the Bentley, people couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, which big boss is driving such an expensive car?"
When Lin Yin got out of the car, people remarked, "What a beautiful lady; it's indeed a case of a luxury car paired with a beauty!"
After Jiang Chen got out, there was a wave of surprise among the crowd. "This ordinary-looking kid drives such an expensive car? Could he be that beauty's driver or bodyguard?"
However, there were also those who recognized Jiang Chen; after all, Teacher Gong's wedding had invited many teachers.
"Hey, isn't that our school's dishwasher? When did he become so wealthy?"
"Hey, you don't know? This Jiang Chen is already the chairman of Dongsheng Group!"
...
Gong Shengli was dressed in the groom's attire with a red flower pinned to his chest and stood at the entrance of the banquet hall with Wang Huanhuan in her wedding dress to greet guests.
"Jiang Chen is here; and this is...?" It wasn't surprising that Jiang Chen showed up, but why was he accompanied by such a beautiful woman? Teacher Gong wondered if he had found someone special.
"Teacher Gong, Sister Huan Huan, this is my assistant Lin Yin. We're here to wish you both happiness in your marriage and a lifetime of togetherness!" After saying this, he handed over a large red envelope filled with eighteen thousand eight hundred eighty-eight yuan in cash; it was quite plump. Lin Yin also politely offered her congratulations.
Wang Huanhuan happily accepted it and thanked him before passing it to the accounting staff nearby. Her family's situation was clearly better than Teacher Gong's; Jiang Chen's impression of her improved significantly after seeing her willingness to marry Teacher Gong. After all, if her father Wang Zuofu had strongly opposed it, this wedding would have been difficult to hold.
As Jiang Chen and Lin Yin entered the venue, most guests were already present inside. Jiang Chen found his seat; it was quite good—at the second table. This table was reserved for those who were close to the bride and groom or held higher status.
Teacher Gong and Wang Huanhuan both know that Jiang Chen is on a roll right now, so it makes sense to arrange him at the second table. Lin Yin doesn't have a name listed, but Jiang Chen still pulled her to sit at the second table since only nine names were written there anyway.
Also at the table is Principal Hua Dongfang. As the highest leader of the groom's unit, it is only fitting for him to sit at this table. Principal Hua has already arrived, and Jiang Chen needs to greet him!
"Hello, Principal Hua! Teacher Gong is getting married, so you should drink a bit more!" Jiang Chen said as he sat down next to him.
