Chapter 20

Unknowingly, more than half a month had passed.

In the past half a month, Jiang Bai's days were very comfortable. He read books every day, and his knowledge grew geometrically. In just half a month, he was comparable to the best doctoral students in any subject. Economics, culture, politics, biology, history, and so on were all good. At least 8,000 books were completely digested by Jiang Bai.

In addition to reading books, Jiang Bai would go to the great world every one or two days. He handed it over to Li Qiang and Xu Jie, and the business became more and more prosperous. In addition to the people watching over the place being replaced by Xu Jie's people, the group of security guards was also replaced by tall and strong young men.

As for what was going on inside, Jiang Bai knew in his heart. He turned a blind eye and did not care much. Most of these people were hired by Xu Jie, but weren't they all working for him? It was just that he did not manage them directly, but everyone knew who the real boss was.

In particular, Jiang Bai became famous in one battle. He defeated twenty-four people, including Xu Jie, alone. It was spread by a group of young people. Every time Jiang Bai went there, he could feel the fanatical worship. However, what Jiang Bai did not know was that not only the dozens of people in the great world knew about his valiant battle record, but the entire Upper East District was secretly praising his name.

Jiang Bai was not a person of the underworld, and he had never thought of becoming one, but his name was praised by many people.

After all, Xu Jie was one of the top figures in the entire Upper East District. That guy had a big mouth. When he saw people, he would talk about how powerful Jiang Bai was. Now, Jiang Bai had become the number one boss of the underworld. He did not dare to say anything, but at least in the Upper East District, he was famous. Who knew how many young punks wanted to join him?

Why did the dozens of newly recruited people in the great world volunteer to work as security guards with low wages?

Wasn't it because they wanted to go out and say "Brother Jiang"? Others would give way to them. That would give him a lot of face if he told others about it!

Jiang Bai didn't know about this. It could be said that it was completely out of Jiang Bai's expectations.

In addition to these two matters, Ma Zhangyang had not been idle for the past half a month. He arranged for his film company to be straightened out and changed its name to "Soaring Dragon Pictures" according to Jiang Bai's request. He also found someone to do LOOG, found someone to change the signboard, and specially asked for Jiang Bai's ID card to transfer the property to Jiang Bai in advance. From beginning to end, he did not mention anything about money at all, which made Jiang Bai feel a little embarrassed.

It was as if everyone else was busy and he was the only one who had nothing to do. Other than reading books, all he did was flirt.

As for who it was, was there even a need to ask?

Wasn't she Jiang Bai's enchanting neighbor?

Ever since they split the loot, Jiang Bai and Yao Lan's relationship was obviously much closer. When they met, they greeted each other more cordially. Yao Lan seemed to especially like to tease Jiang Bai. From time to time, she would use her charm to seduce him, which made Jiang Bai very angry.

The strange thing was that Wu Tian didn't look for Jiang Bai after that day. He wondered if Yao Lan said something to him.

During the day, his little cousin would send him food every day. Although she was still stubborn, Jiang Bai gradually felt her sincerity regardless of rain or shine. At night, when he went home, he could flirt with his beautiful neighbor. His life was very comfortable. The only regret was that after that day, Su Mei never contacted Jiang Bai again. It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.

"Ding ding ding… Grandpa, your grandson is calling… Grandpa, your grandson is calling…"

Today, Jiang Bai, who was sitting in the library and reading Freud's "Analysis of Dreams," suddenly, his phone rang. It was his new ringtone. When his phone rang, hundreds of people in the library turned to look at him, causing Jiang Bai to feel awkward.

When he saw that it was an unknown number, Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment before he answered the call politely, "Hello, may I know who you are?"

"Is this my cousin? I'm Ma Shuyuan."

A girl's voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. She was Lin Wanru's roommate. Jiang Bai had met her once before. The girls were quite nice, especially Ma Shuyuan, who had a good relationship with Lin Wanru. Ma Shuyuan even made fun of the two of them. After that, she even took the initiative to ask for Jiang Bai's phone number. However, they never contacted each other.

Looking at her behavior, it was already six or seven o 'clock. Why would she call him at this time?

"Hello, hello. What's the matter, Shuyuan?" Jiang Bai asked with a smile. He had a good impression of this forthright girl from a small town in the north.

It seemed that Wanru had something to ask of him. He called Wanru today and said that he had some news. It seemed that it was quite difficult. He wanted Wanru to have a meal with him before he was willing to help. However, I always felt that it was not so simple. Zhang Tianang was not a good guy in school. I heard that a senior sister had an abortion for him. I also heard that he had done a lot of bad things outside. I was a little worried, so I…"

Ma Shuyuan said slowly. Her worried tone was self-evident.

"Where did they go?"

Hearing this, Jiang Bai's face changed and his tone was unkind.

What could have happened to Lin Wanru? It was because of that matter!

Really, I've already told this girl that the matter has been solved. Why didn't she believe me?

And what was the meaning of this Zhang Tianang? Didn't they say that his family was quite powerful? If he really wanted to help, how could he not know that the matter had been solved? How could he not know my current relationship with Xu Jie? How could he deceive Lin Wanru to go out?

Have a meal? I'm afraid it's not that simple!

"It seems to be the Marriott Hotel!"

"I got it. Don't worry. I'll handle it."

After answering, Jiang Bai hung up the phone and turned to leave the school. Little Tian had been strolling around the school all day long. After calling him over, Jiang Bai got in the car and rushed to the Marriott Hotel.

Halfway there, he thought that it was a little inappropriate for him to go alone. On the way, he called Xu Jie.

It was not that he was afraid alone, but that Jiang Bai's fighting strength was not bad. However, it was better for Xu Jie to deal with the aftermath. This guy had a complicated network of relationships, especially in the police world. If something really happened, Jiang Bai would take action. It was best for Xu Jie to deal with the rest. In fact, all kinds of external relations in the great world, such as spending money, sending gifts, and building relationships, were all done by Xu Jie.

"Boss, don't worry. I'll go right away!" After hearing Jiang Bai's words, Xu Jie flew into a rage without hesitation. He gathered his men and charged directly to the Marriott Hotel.

When Jiang Bai arrived, Xu Jie was already there. A middle-aged man was waiting with him. "Big Brother, this is the president of the Marriott Hotel, Mr. Chang. He's Old Horse's friend. I just contacted him. The Zhang Tianang you mentioned is upstairs."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Mr. Chang was obviously well-versed in the ways of the world. Although Jiang Bai was young, he did not look down on him at all. He hurried over and shook his hand warmly.
