Chapter 743: Chapter 743: 743 Off the Charts

The man was beaten within an inch of his life by Jiang Xiaoyan.

The others, afraid Jiang Xiaoyan had actually beaten the man to death, quickly pulled her aside.

“Huff huff huff~”

Jiang Xiaoyan was gasping for air continuously.

It took her a good while to recover.

She opened the man’s backpack, spilling its contents out.

Hmm, it was filled with various props.

An Nuonuo turned away with a flushed face, too embarrassed to look.

These were all props she had seen before.

To be precise, during a certain exchange she had with Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu had introduced these in pursuit of a bit of fun.

Liu Ruyan and Tian’er also turned their heads away.

These things were a bit awkward to look at.

Chu Youwei blinked, somewhat curious.

But seeing the expressions of the others, even if she hadn’t seen them before, she could pretty much guess what they were.

So she kept quiet.

“Yo, quite a variety here,” Jiang Xiaoyan squatted down, picking up a ***.

Her exquisite face was full of sarcasm, “Are you not up to par?”

“They say the worse the student is, the more stationery they have. Compensating for lack of ability with equipment?”

“Just like you trying to play the villain, it’s embarrassing.”

“You’d probably be done in no time, I feel embarrassed for you just watching.”

“You!!!” The man glared at Jiang Xiaoyan with rage-filled eyes.

Overcome with anger, he then rolled his eyes and fainted.

After waiting for four or five minutes, the official response team arrived and took the man away.

Upon seeing the officials arrive, the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts.

After all, they were just a bunch of housebound men being used, without much courage.

The situation wasn’t too complicated, but the specifics of the resolution were up to the officials.

“Phew, finally, it’s over,” Tian’er breathed a sigh of relief.

She then turned to ask An Nuonuo, “Nuonuo, how come you have something like a gas mask?”

A look of bliss appeared on An Nuonuo’s face, “My boyfriend prepared it for me.”

As someone with a rather severe case of paranoia, Jiang Xu.

Whether it was him or An Nuonuo going out, they would make all the necessary preparations.

For this trip, aside from the basic necessities.

Things like cold medicine, antiseptic, vitamins, antiseptic medicine, and antidotes were all prepared.

And a variety of other strange goods.

All packed into a box.

Jiang Xu also made specific instructions to An Nuonuo about what goes where in the box.

“Wow, I’m so envious,” Tian’er’s eyes were filled with envy.

Jiang Xiaoyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Annoying, flaunting their love again.

The room was a mess now, with a broken door.

The girls began to tidy up.

The bodyguards repaired the door.

As for the smashed items, those accountable would have to compensate.

Jiang Xu didn’t find out about the night’s events until he woke up the next morning.

He immediately called An Nuonuo.

His tone was stern, “With such a big incident, why didn’t you tell me?”

“You found out,” An Nuonuo said weakly, “We weren’t injured or anything.”

“So I didn’t plan on telling you, to save you the worry.”

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

Though she said that, he was still somewhat scared afterward.

They were lucky this time.

But what if something similar happened again?

Without hesitation, he declared, “I will send ten more female bodyguards over.”

An Nuonuo had wanted to say there was no need.

But knowing how upset Jiang Xu was, she dared not refuse.

“Thank you, husband. You are the best, I love you.”

She had long learned to use coquetry to defuse Jiang Xu’s anger when he was mad.

Of course, there was another method.

However, that method required confronting face to face.

“Hmph!” Jiang Xu snorted coldly, “This is not to be taken as precedent. If there is a next time, you will be confined for a month.”

“Okay, I got it, Brother Xu.”

After ending the call, his eyes were filled with a coldness.

He personally took a long trip.

After confirming that the man from last night indeed did not have any other hidden backers involved, he transferred the company’s most elite lawyers over.

He had to make the other party pay the most severe price.

Encouraging hundreds online to fight offline.

Attempting “mei jian” (homophonic pun), and taking action.

The situation was vile, with significant impact.

And An Nuonuo was still the ambassador for Magic City.

This only added to the severity of the offense.

After hearing the details, the lawyer stated that at the very least they could keep the other party locked up for fifteen years.

At most, twenty years.

Jiang Xu issued a firm command to them, “If you can’t make it twenty years, then you all can start looking for new jobs.”

The various lawyers’ expressions immediately turned grave.

They all assured him that they would put forth their utmost effort to accomplish this.

The treatment at the Nuomi Group was exceedingly good.

Jiang Xu would personally oversee this matter.

If this team of lawyers couldn’t handle it, he would replace them with another.

In any case, he was determined to have that guy locked up for the full twenty years.

Because there were no doubts about this case and the evidence was solid, the principal offender had also pleaded guilty at the first opportunity after being caught.

Thus, merely five days had passed before the punishment was decided.

A full twenty years.

At noon, Jiang Xu was eating in the company cafeteria.

An Nuonuo was still filming, so wherever he went now, he was alone.

His longing grew stronger and stronger.

Jiang Xu had almost lost his self-control several times, wanting to go see him.

But in the end, he gave up.

Forget it, let her accumulate a little more.

Chu Youwei carried her tray from the serving area, looking around for a spot.

She only filmed the fourth episode and came back after two days to continue work.

Her eyes brightened upon seeing Jiang Xu.

But after a slight hesitation, she didn’t approach and chose to sit in a corner instead.

Jiang Xu didn’t notice Chu Youwei.

At that moment, his phone rang.

It was Luo Feiyu, whom he hadn’t been in touch with for a long time.

Jiang Xu swiftly finished the last few bites of his meal.

After wiping his mouth, he got up and left the cafeteria.

He pressed the answer button, “Mr. Luo?”

“Good afternoon, Mr. Jiang.”

“Have you had lunch yet?”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Luo Feiyu got straight to the point of his call, “I’ve already crossed the threshold of trillions in assets.”

Jiang Xu was taken aback, “So soon?”

Back when he, Luo Feiyu, and Jiang Xiaoyan were talking in the farmhouse,

Luo Feiyu’s assets were only slightly more than his.

In just over two years, he had already crossed the trillion mark?

Could it be that he too was a reincarnated person, or someone with a grandfather by his side?

This was far more sensational than his own progress.

Jiang Xu’s total assets, fully accounted for, were barely over three hundred billion.

To surpass a trillion, he’d have to wait until the 14-nanometer chips were sold globally.

But currently, even his own company was short on chips, so selling them was not happening anytime soon.

“Yes,” Luo Feiyu said gravely, “The main reason is that last year, I bought some land in Ice Country, planning to get into animal husbandry.”

“But unexpectedly, those plots were found to contain a large amount of precious minerals.”

“According to the local laws there, the landowner also owns all the resources found underneath it.”
