Chapter 597: Overly Indulgent

Is it alright now?

It's like riding a tiger—hard to get off.

The group's faces were slightly stiff as they glanced at Jiang Cheng; at that time, everyone was relatively calm.

"No."

One of them, steeling himself, said: "I think you must have misheard; we weren't discussing your affairs just now." The bunch quickly found an excuse for themselves—who would want to admit it in front of Jiang Cheng?

At a time like this, admitting it would mean...

Wouldn't that be utterly embarrassing?

The young man before them was even more terrifying than they had imagined!

Especially his character and his ability, which now completely surpass theirs, have reached a relatively terrifying state!

If this continues, it will truly make one's hair stand on end.

So—

These guys wouldn't dare make a promise to Jiang Cheng's face.

Watching their behavior, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but let out a soft snort: "Really, you weren't talking about me behind my back?" Jiang Cheng had no intention of believing it; he was questioning the content of what those guys were saying.

What do these guys mean—how could he not know?

As for their little schemes, Jiang Cheng now sees them crystal clear, and can't be bothered to quarrel.

All he saw was them offering explanations with forced smiles.

"It's true!"

"Your efforts these past days, we've all seen them; your strength is obvious to everyone present." That person could only steel himself before Jiang Cheng and then lavishly praise him nonstop.

He certainly knew that Jiang Cheng definitely had objections to this matter and might not believe his words.

But as long as they could get away with it, and Jiang Cheng wouldn't pursue it further, there was no need to investigate the matter any more.

"Since there's none, I won't say anything else."

"However, I think if you have any objections to me, you should feel free to bring them up to my face, and tell me everything you know frankly." Jiang Cheng's mood now is calmer than ever.

As he was leaving, he turned back and glanced at them once more.

Each word made the group before him feel ashamed and uneasy, and also gave their faces a hint of stiffness.

It must be said, it was Jiang Cheng's single sentence that, in an instant, stiffened their faces to a certain degree.

Indeed!

Jiang Cheng had indeed heard that just now.

The words Jiang Cheng is muttering now also cause them some embarrassment.

They dared not retort.

Finally, they watched helplessly as Jiang Cheng vanished completely before their eyes.

"Didn't I just remind you earlier? Don't spout nonsense here—you not only refuse to listen, you insist on gossiping foolishly! Is it alright now? Everything we've been talking about has been heard loud and clear by others!"

"It's fine if others heard it, but the key is, what face do we have to admit it to their faces?" So they only dared to discuss it behind closed doors, with not a single person willing to bring it into the open.

At this moment, their faces looked quite grim.

"Who would have thought Jiang Cheng would just happen to pass by at that exact moment?" He sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"If we had known, we certainly wouldn't have said these things to their face, let alone exaggerated them." If we had known from the start, then this matter...
