Chapter 51: Insolent Little Brother, You Can’t Escape Sister’s Grasp!
Page 1/3
In the taxi, Qian Duo sent a voice message to Jiang Cheng, her tone brimming with delight.
“Little brother, be honest! You’re from a prestigious family, aren’t you?”
“Prestigious family? What nonsense? I’m a decent person!” Jiang Cheng denied vehemently.
Hearing his firm denial, Qian Duo said no more, only smiling meaningfully.
She had already made up her mind—just by Jiang Cheng seeing through her “breeze brushing the willow” trick, even if he wasn’t from a noble family, he was definitely no ordinary man!
“Come on! Little brother, how do we split the money?”
As for how Jiang Cheng helped her win, she was curious but patient. There would be time enough in the future for her to find out his secrets in her own way.
Besides, winning money wasn’t her sole purpose for coming here.
She certainly hadn’t expected to run into such an interesting little brother like Jiang Cheng this time.
Thinking about it, it was quite a pleasant surprise!
“Sister Duo, just give me 1.3 million,” Jiang Cheng replied.
“Only 1.3 million? Are you kidding me?” Qian Duo could hardly believe it.
To be honest, her winning 3.5 million was purely thanks to Jiang Cheng’s help.
Without him, she would probably have lost badly!
She won 3.5 million, and Jiang Cheng only wanted 1 million? What was he really up to?
“What’s that? Sister Duo, if you want to give me a bit more, I wouldn’t mind!” Jiang Cheng teased with a playful smile.
“Hmph! Do I look that stupid to you?” Qian Duo rolled her eyes dramatically but then thought of something and her voice turned irresistibly seductive.
“Hehe… little brother, after you’ve done such a big favor for sister, how am I supposed to repay you? How about… offering myself? But, since you’re quite handsome, sister will take a loss and give you a break! Let’s find a time to have a proper chat?”
Damn!
Hearing Qian Duo’s bold words, Jiang Cheng shuddered instantly.
Good heavens, this woman was a pure enchantress!
What was she trying to do?
Was she trying to lure him into sin?
At the thought of her curvaceous figure and that face full of dangerous beauty, Jiang Cheng’s excitement surged uncontrollably.
He quickly cleared his throat awkwardly and smiled embarrassedly, “Sister Duo, you… you better stop teasing me!”

He silently rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless.
He had been in a relationship with Song Yi for five years and was still a virgin!
Faced with a fiery, heart-racing temptress like Qian Duo, how could he possibly withstand it?
Images of Qian Duo biting her ruby lips, reclining on the big round bed with a half-exposed bosom and a perfectly curved figure, alluring with a mischievous smile while beckoning him with her finger, flashed through his mind.
“Ahhh! Wicked woman!”
Just thinking about it made Jiang Cheng’s blood boil with desire.
But at least this was just a voice message. If Qian Duo were beside him hearing such provocations, he’d pounce on her immediately to teach her a lesson!
Qian Duo seemed to have caught onto something important: “Little brother, you… you wouldn’t still be… hahaha! Just kidding! Wait, I’ll transfer the money now and throw in a big red envelope!”
“Red envelope my foot!” Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded and cursed under his breath.
“Sister Duo, let’s just pretend tonight never happened, alright?” After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng said earnestly.
“Oh! Little brother, you’re so cold-hearted! It hasn’t even been that long, and you already want to wash your hands of me? Sister is so heartbroken!” Qian Duo’s tone was full of mock grievance, playing the part of the abandoned woman.
Jiang Cheng broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly hung up the call!
The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily—this wicked woman’s acting was quite good; she could have been an actress!
But Jiang Cheng didn’t care. After tonight, he and Qian Duo would have nothing to do with each other.
What he didn’t know was that on the other end, Qian Duo looked at Jiang Cheng’s profile picture and smiled mischievously.
“Little brother! You can’t escape from sister’s grasp!”
She then deleted all the call records between her and Jiang Cheng and dialed a number saved in her contacts.
“Hey! I just left the underground casino! Yeah, I’ve temporarily confirmed that the artifact came from the Feng clan, but we still need to verify whether the rest of the artifacts are theirs. Also, I found out that a woman from the Feng clan has an illicit relationship with Huang Kun, the deputy director of Dongxing Branch in Qingzhou City. And the head of security for the Yuan dynasty tomb excavation, He Manjun, is Huang Kun’s brother-in-law! I suspect Huang Kun is the one pilfering the artifacts. The stolen batch is probably connected to him!”
“Lost money? Of course! Lost tens of thousands! Ah, it’s not my usual bad luck; I’m doing this purely for our mission! Boss, you’ll have to reimburse me! Hehe… Boss is mighty!”
“Mm! I’ll be careful. By the way, I met someone interesting today. I think our bureau should expand our reserve forces!”
…
By the time Jiang Cheng got home from taking a taxi, the 1.32 million had already arrived in his account.
Looking at the extra 20,000, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Could this really be Qian Duo’s big red envelope for him?
What a fool!
After arriving home, Jiang Cheng took a shower, lay down on the bed, and called Wang Hao to ask about Lin Zhou’s injury.
Wang Hao said the dislocated arm had been set properly and there was nothing serious.
They chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

The Feng clan matter was now temporarily settled.
The rest could be dealt with later.
However, there were still four raw stones left uncut. Once he found Murong Xue to cut them tomorrow, he would officially become a billionaire.
Jiang Cheng began to dream of a beautiful life once he had money.
He planned to open a shop to collect antiques and calligraphy, maybe go hunting for raw stones in his spare time—it sounded promising.
And there was the matter of the artifacts Huang Kun intended to smuggle abroad. It was time to handle the Feng clan issue for good.
Lost in thought, Jiang Cheng finally fell asleep in the early hours.
…
Elsewhere.
After Qian Duo left, Xu Fei entered the office on the second basement level of Tianhao Entertainment.
Seeing Xu Fei, Cheng Dong’s expression immediately turned cold.
“What was with the police at the door earlier?”
Xu Fei spat and said bitterly, “I don’t know. Someone reported me for having an illicit relationship with Huang Kun!”
Hearing this, Cheng Dong frowned. “Could it be Huang Kun’s wife playing tricks?”
Xu Fei shook her head. “Unlikely. Huang Kun’s wife isn’t much better, and they both have their own affairs. She wouldn’t be that petty. Besides, reporting this kind of thing is pointless! Who doesn’t know Huang Kun is the deputy director of Dongxing Branch?”
Xu Fei’s eyes shifted as she added, “Could it be Huang Kun’s rivals? Remember, he’s not the only deputy director in Dongxing Branch!”
Cheng Dong’s face darkened with a sinister expression. “Make sure Huang Kun is on alert! We can’t afford any leaks about what we’re doing!”
“Yes…”
The old director of Dongxing District was about to retire, and the vacancy for director would surely be filled.
Cheng Dong knew the person who had to take that position was Huang Kun.
At that moment, Xu Fei seemed to recall something and looked uneasy, hesitant to speak.
“What is it, Fei Fei? Anything else?”
“Dong, that… Huang Kun said after the smuggling goes through this time, he wants an extra 20% cut!”
“What? Damn it! That bloodsucker! I bust my ass for him, and now he wants another 20%? If he pushes me too far, I’ll kill him!”
“Dong… Dong, don’t be angry. We and Huang Kun are in the same boat now!”
After a long silence, Cheng Dong sighed deeply, his gaze full of ruthless determination…
