Chapter 321: I Can Withstand It

Moreover, I'm old and have no one behind me. Even if they come looking for trouble with me, I can still tough it out, unlike you young people who still have a lot of things to bear.

Chuxiongzhou naturally understood; his brows and eyes showed pity for the person before him.

Every word and sentence showed great understanding.

Jiang Cheng understood his meaning, feeling deeply grateful: "Thank you for your understanding."

"After the matter is settled, I'll treat you to a proper meal?" Jiang Cheng made a solemn invitation to Chuxiongzhou; he could see that the person before him genuinely wanted to help him solve the problem.

Jiang Cheng certainly didn't want to see such a kind-hearted person feel cold-hearted.

Chuxiongzhou also extended his hand to shake Jiang Cheng's, wearing a faint smile: "After the matter is perfectly resolved, we'll all gather together and go out for a good meal."

"By then, I will feel as if a great burden has been lifted, able to watch this world develop step by step toward a better direction—that would also be my honor."

Chuxiongzhou awaited the arrival of that day.

Recently, those dark forces have been hiding in the corners.

They stretched out their evil hands even in places where five fingers cannot be seen—

It's getting more and more excessive! We must have young people like Jiang Cheng firmly step forward in order to—

Solve the problem!

"I greatly anticipate that day's arrival; I think it will come soon." Jiang Cheng gazed at the bright moonlit sky, even seeing stars twinkling.

His words were spoken with righteous confidence, his expression firm.

Chuxiongzhou also unconditionally stood with Jiang Cheng: "I also greatly anticipate that day's arrival; I think, as long as you can overthrow the opposing side, those dark forces will collapse without attack!"

"In the future, everyone's prospects will be bright; we finally won't be constantly restrained by these matters!" Chuxiongzhou was full of vigor, his eyes shining with brilliant light, twinkling slightly.

As he spoke each word and sentence, his voice gradually became resonant and powerful.

Each word fell heavily.

At that moment, whether it was Su Manyao or Jiang Cheng, that sentence struck their hearts heavily.

It was as if constantly reminding them that, no matter what happens in the future, they must remember for a lifetime that there truly is light in this world! Only through effort can they truly see the light.

However, Chuxiongzhou didn't linger here for long, because he still had a lot of things to do; naturally, he didn't have much leisure time to stay and discuss with everyone.

He quickly put away his thoughts, but his gaze toward Jiang Cheng remained as appreciative as ever.

He slowly said: "Alright, I look forward to your performance, I look forward to the unexpected gains you will have next!"

"But I also have my own things to do; for now, I'll go handle other matters." Chuxiongzhou spoke of these things, his eyes unable to hide his reluctance.

Looking at the person before him, if it weren't for the fact that he had other things to do, he would truly hate to leave.

What a pity.

Just having that thought isn't enough! That appreciative gaze continually swept over Jiang Cheng; the more he looked, the more he felt admiration, and the more he looked, the more he felt a faint smile tug at the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Cheng also understood and knew that the person before him still had other things to attend to. Jiang Cheng politely said: "Then go handle your own matters; once you finish them, my affairs should be about done as well."

"By then we'll all gather together, with laughter and cheer, celebrating the defeat of these evil forces." Jiang Cheng's tone was calm, sounding somewhat flat to the listener.

This really seems like Chen Shu is stating something that doesn't have much relation to Jiang Cheng.

His tone was light.

But everyone knows Jiang Cheng is not being disdainful.

On the contrary, Jiang Cheng spoke each word and sentence with a blazing gaze.

Every word and action, everyone present could see clearly.

Chuxiongzhou bade farewell and went to handle his other affairs, but tomorrow he still has to come back here.

However——

An accident occurred.

The next morning, Jiang Cheng received some bad news.

Su Manyao tightly gripped Jiang Cheng's palm, her gaze fixed on him.

She was very worried about Jiang Cheng's condition.

Jiang Cheng's body swayed slightly, as if about to fall, but he quickly adjusted his state.

"How could this be?" Jiang Cheng seemed unable to understand; just last night he was discussing with her how those evil forces would eventually be dismantled.

However——

"This morning, as soon as he heard the news, how could he accept it? Jiang Cheng instantly guessed that it was very likely some people deliberately trying to disgust him!"

Damn it!

Jiang Cheng's face was gloomy, looking somewhat terrifying.

Su Manyao also saw such an expression on Jiang Cheng's face for the first time.

She felt a little afraid looking at it.

For a moment.

A slight shock made her suck in a breath of cold air.

But she still firmly stood by Jiang Cheng's side, tightly gripping his hand.

"I know you're angry, but I hope you can calm down now!"

"How to calm down?"

Jiang Cheng's gaze was somewhat vacant as he glanced aside at Su Manyao.

For a moment.

He let out a cold snort.

Last night they were still fiercely discussing, hoping that after a while the darkness would finally dissipate. Those who secretly employed various dirty tricks, those fellows would eventually pay the full price for their actions.

However, in just one night's time, it turned into a yin-yang separation? Jiang Cheng's dark eyes, mixed with some depth, concealed an uncontainable anger.

He could no longer bear it.

At least at this moment, his temper was irritable.

However, Su Manyao was at his side, gently patting Jiang Cheng's back.

"The more at this moment, the more we need to stay calm!"

"I know you're angry now, but all we can do is stay calm."

I heard.

Last night, after returning home to Chuxiongzhou, his body began to feel various discomforts. Although he later dialed 120, because he could not provide a specific location, there was a delay.

Moreover, his illness came on quickly, and not long after, he passed away.

Obviously, last night he seemed full of vigor; how could it be that, after returning home, he suddenly felt unwell and died instantly? Absurd!

How could Jiang Cheng not know? It's those guys' dirty tricks! A middle-aged man over fifty, while the other side's life is quite strained. For such a person, they are actually ruthless and unwilling to let him go! (End of chapter)
