Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 665

Chapter 665: Chapter 665: An Irrefutable Request

The man was covered in blood, looking absolutely terrifying.

Chu Youwei hurriedly hid behind Jiang Xu.

The man bowed slightly to Jiang Xu, “Boss, he’s dead.”

Chu Youwei’s face turned pale.

The dead one must be Xiao Jibo.

He died in his own home.

That… Jiang Xu wouldn’t be in any trouble, would he?

“Mmm,” Jiang Xu looked as composed as always, “Is it ’embraced’ (homophone)?”

The man nodded.

“Hard work,” said Jiang Xu, “You committed manslaughter, and there’s surveillance footage as evidence.

I’ll hire the best legal team in the country to defend you.

Even in the worst-case scenario, you’re looking at three years.

A ‘bonus’ of one hundred million yuan will be transferred into your account shortly, taxes taken care of.”

A flame of eagerness flickered in the man’s eyes.

To earn a hundred million yuan in three years was something countless people would clamor for a chance at.

And that was the worst-case scenario; in reality, there was a good chance he’d be acquitted.

After all, his intent was to save someone.

Then, in the process of struggling, he ‘accidentally’ caused the injury.

All the advantages were on his side.

Soon, official workers arrived.

They cordoned off the scene and collected evidence.

Then they took the three of them to make statements.

The bodyguard who had intervened was temporarily detained.

Jiang Xu and Chu Youwei were allowed to leave first.

Jiang Xu took Chu Youwei to a top-tier residential area.

He had two furnished, brand-new apartments there that had never been lived in.

He took her to one of them.

Jiang Xu said, “This apartment is worth 1.5 billion yuan, I’ll handle the property transfer for you tomorrow.

As for the money, pay me back slowly, I’m not in a rush.”

“Thank you~”

“Don’t mention it, you should rest now, I’ll be going.”

Chu Youwei was a bit scared in her heart; she didn’t dare to be alone right now.

But she didn’t have a reason to ask Jiang Xu to stay with her either.

For the first time in her life, she wished she had a boyfriend.

“Oh, right,” Jiang Xu said as he was about to leave, “I’ve sent two female bodyguards over.

For the next few days, one will stand guard at the entrance of your house, and the other will follow you closely.”

Chu Youwei showed a grateful expression, “Thank you.”

With that, she felt much more at ease.

By the time Jiang Xu got back, An Nuonuo had already fallen asleep.

On the table was still the remnant warmth of late-night snacks and a cup of warm milk.

Jiang Xu smiled.

He ate the snacks and drank the milk, then carefully climbed into bed.

He cuddled up to his fiancée’s fragrant body and fell asleep.

When Jiang Xu woke up early the next morning, his phone was nearly bursting with various messages.

At a glance, most of them were related to the incident from last night.

The authorities had also made a public announcement about the events of the day before.

There wasn’t much confusion about the incident.

The evidence was solid, and there would be no negative impact on Nuomi Group.

On the contrary, this was relatively positive news coverage.

Jiang Xu’s friends and family, as well as known business magnates, all sent their concerned inquiries.

Of course, the only issue might be Xiao Jibo’s family raising a fuss.

Having replied to all the messages, An Nuonuo finally woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, looking slightly confused and extremely adorable.

“Morning, husband~”

“Morning,” Jiang Xu ruffled her hair, “The little one has been protesting all morning, could you soothe it for me?”

An Nuonuo bit her lip playfully, “Stop it~”

Jiang Xu pressed his hands together: “Please.”

“Then…” An Nuonuo hesitated for a moment before saying, “Can I go brush my teeth first?”

Jiang Xu: “No need, the original flavor is just fine.”

An Nuonuo: “…”

She had never been able to refuse Jiang Xu, so she complied.

Even though she had always disliked doing so.

But as long as Jiang Xu was happy, she was happy too.

That’s when a phone call came in.

An Nuonuo wanted to lift her head, but Jiang Xu pressed it down with one hand.

Helplessly, An Nuonuo could only continue bowing her head.

The call was from Ally.

She said, “Boss, the Xiao Family has caused a commotion at the company’s entrance.

They’ve brought a bunch of reporters, claiming that it’s all a conspiracy orchestrated by you.”

“Hmm,” Jiang Xu said indifferently, “Tell the employees to stick to their duties and not to discuss it.

Also, make sure security is tight, and prevent those people and the reporters from entering the company, I’ll be there shortly.”

“Understood, Boss.”

At ten-thirty, Jiang Xu arrived at the entrance of the company.

There were many people.

Dozens of them in hemp and mourning attire, some even holding up various banners.

They read ‘Blood for blood,’ ‘Jiang Xu is a murderer,’ and so on.

Jiang Xu straightened his clothes and got out of the car.

Escorted by several bodyguards, he walked over.

It was only after soothing Jiang Xu that An Nuonuo found out about the day’s events.

She originally wanted to follow, but Jiang Xu refused.

It wasn’t suitable for her to show up in such a matter, and right now, what she should be doing was accompanying Chu Youwei.

“Mr. Jiang is here!”

“Mr. Jiang!”

The multitude of reporters swarmed towards Jiang Xu as soon as they saw him.

The microphones were almost shoved into his mouth.

“Mr. Jiang, please tell us about what happened yesterday.”

“Was Xiao Jibo’s death instructed by you?”

“Aren’t you afraid that this will harm Nuomi Group’s stock prices?”

…

Faced with these tricky questions, and even various verbal traps set by the reporters, Jiang Xu remained silent.

“Jiang Xu, I’ll fight you to the end!”

“Give me back my son’s life!”

Two middle-aged men and women charged at Jiang Xu.

They were Xiao Jibo’s parents.

Jiang Xu watched the two closely.

The sorrow and rage on their faces were hard to fake.

So it could be determined that Xiao Jibo had a significant place in their hearts.

Therefore, what Xiao Jibo initially said about using Jiang Xu to deal with the Xiao Family was not established.

The bodyguards blocked the couple.

With so many people around, naturally, Jiang Xu had to explain; otherwise, these people would continue to sling mud at him and the company.

He said indifferently, “Hasn’t the authority already released a statement, making things very clear?

What, are you questioning the authority?”

While speaking, his sharp gaze wandered around.

Most people averted their eyes, not daring to collide with his.

“I don’t believe it; you must have deceived the authorities!” Xiao Jibo’s mother, with eyes red with rage, glared at Jiang Xu: “I want you to pay with blood for blood!”

“That’s right, my son just confessed his feelings for your employee a few times, and you brutally murdered him; have you no humanity!”

“For a company as big as Nuomi Group, it’s quite easy to manipulate the truth and bully us ordinary folks.”

…

The Xiao Family also had their experts.

Placing themselves in such a disadvantaged position at the moment would greatly garner sympathy from others.

With their deliberate leading of the narrative, many people would start doubting if there was something sinister behind the incident.
