Chapter 248: He might be repeating his old tricks

My younger brother is really not up to the task.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng is by your side this time, helping you with all his might; otherwise, if anything happened to you during this period, I wouldn't know what to do!

Su Peng's voice started to choke up.

Thinking back to the scenes he saw in the video, as a younger brother, how could he not really be afraid?

On the way here, his whole body was trembling violently.

The image of Su Manyao being tied up kept flashing back and forth in his mind.

Su Manyao gently patted her younger brother's back.

Fortunately, heaven blessed me and I didn't suffer these injuries.

You, as my younger brother, I can feel your concern for me. Su Manyao's lips curled into a faint smile; although her voice was choked, it was extremely gentle.

The matter can be seen as suffering followed by reward, and also making the guilty pay their dues.

So—I'm fine now; don't sit there worrying needlessly.

Okay.

——

The matter just ended like that.

However, Jiang Cheng still worries; obviously, the other party's vengeful mindset means they won't easily let Su Manyao or him off.

It's estimated that after he comes out, that guy will still look for an opportunity to settle scores with Su Manyao.

After thinking it over, Jiang Cheng decided to assign two bodyguards to Su Manyao.

Su Manyao only felt that Jiang Cheng was making a fuss over nothing.

This lesson should make him restrain himself a lot. Su Manyao frowned slightly, speaking seriously.

Jiang Cheng didn't agree: "Do you still remember that furious face of theirs at the time?"

He kept saying he knew he was wrong, hoping I'd let him go and not hold a grudge—but if you look closely, you can see his whole face is ferocious.

If I had actually agreed to his request back then, I'm afraid that the moment the police released his hands, he would without hesitation pick up the knife on the ground and stab you and me.

Such a man with an extremely strong vengeful heart—I dare not gamble with your life's safety!

That guy Yu Heng is the type who must repay every grudge.

He will surely think that the reason he ended up in such a miserable situation is entirely due to Jiang Cheng and Su Manyao.

He won't be able to let it go.

His mind will remain tangled over these matters.

Thus—

He will carry out even more insane and heinous actions.

After careful thought, Jiang Cheng decided to hire two bodyguards for Su Manyao.

Moreover, he now has money; the two bodyguards aren't expensive, and they can protect Su Manyao's safety—why not?

In his view, as long as Su Manyao's safety is protected, he's willing to spend any amount of money.

After Jiang Cheng explained it like that, Su Manyao instantly felt it made sense.

What you say seems to make some sense.

It's not just somewhat reasonable; it's especially reasonable!

He said.

The other party had already accumulated some resentment, originally wanting to gain a little benefit from you; but my appearance shattered all his hopes.

He himself has been obsessing over this matter; probably later he'll never get past this hurdle, will keep obsessing over it, and will carry out a series of insane and heinous actions.

So regarding this matter, we still need to be extra careful; we can't act recklessly!

Jiang Cheng said seriously.

Su Manyao walked over to Jiang Cheng and gently embraced him.

His voice muffled: "Thank you."

While saving my life, he actually still thinks of me.

Jiang Cheng gently stroked Su Manyao's head: "You are my woman; if something like this happens to you, and I don't think of you, am I supposed to just watch you die at someone else's hands?"

I can't do that!

Thinking back to how he almost lost Su Manyao by a hair's breadth, his heart is left with endless fear.

He was trembling!

Jiang Cheng has always been afraid, but he just puts on a front that nothing's wrong.

How could Su Manyao not feel it?

He reassured: "It's fine; if he dares to cause trouble, we'll call the police again and arrest him, then we'll prosecute him on various charges and lock him up in prison for a few years."

Even later, we have money and can keep people watching his every move; all his actions will remain under our control.

!

Even if he keeps looking for chances to harm us, we can always catch him and never give him an opening!

Su Manyao's eyes were filled with determination.

Inside, a flash of ruthlessness passed through.

That guy—if he dares to cause trouble, he will absolutely not let him off easily!

Su Manyao gritted her teeth.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt somewhat relieved.

You just need to know how to protect yourself. Jiang Cheng's lips finally curled into a faint smile: "I thought you were an idiot who would still be as careless as before."

How could that be?

Su Manyao slightly glared, her eyes widening: "That's a matter of life and death!"

If it weren't for your timely appearance, I would very likely have lost my life.

I've already walked out of Guimen Guan once; in this situation, I will be more cautious and do my utmost to protect my own safety—not as you say.

Su Manyao slightly pouted her lips, and he said these words unconvinced.

Jiang Cheng then reached out and lightly flicked Su Manyao's nose bridge.

I really thought you were just an idiot.

Nonsense!

Hahaha...

Seeing Su Manyao act coquettishly, Jiang Cheng's mood instantly improved.

He gazed at her, his eyes gradually softening, filled with indulgence to the point of almost dripping.

Jiang Cheng really likes Su Manyao.

Whether in the past or now, his fondness remains unchanged.

As for certain people,

Just as Jiang Cheng thought, he was detained for a few days, but after those few days he was released.

The narrow-minded fellow, during those days of detention, his resentment kept piling up.

He always felt that his current miserable situation was entirely thanks to Jiang Cheng and his group!

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng and his group, how could he possibly have become so miserable?

Resentment began to accumulate continuously.

Especially later, after seeing those online comments, his resentment and anger constantly intertwined in his chest, making him increasingly irritable.

Why?

Why are Jiang Cheng and his group's days getting better and better?

And what about him?

Now he has become an artist with a notorious record!

Originally, a large number of partners had already canceled their cooperation with him.

Only a handful remain willing to work with him. (End of chapter)
