Chapter 667: Chapter 666: Big Brother’s Decision, Little Brother Won’t Be a Burden If He Can’t Help
Soon, the noisy sounds from the bar by my ear quieted down, and a cold male voice came through the phone.
“What’s up? Miss Jiang, what made you think of calling me? Is there something you need from me? Let me think, there wouldn’t be many things I could help Miss Jiang with, right?”
Because he owed Jiang Linyan a favor from last time, Qian Meng didn’t hang up her call but instead found a quiet place and took Jiang Linyan’s call.
“Last time you asked me to take you to the Tianlang Base, you said you owed me a favor. Do you still remember that?”
Due to the emotional outburst she had just had, Jiang Linyan’s voice was now somewhat low and hoarse, giving off a very uncomfortable feeling.
Qian Meng was slightly startled by Jiang Linyan’s voice. Since when had the always imperious Miss Jiang started to speak like this?
Although Jiang Desheng had been taken away for investigation, with Old Master Jiang still around, the Jiang family wasn’t collapsing any time soon, so there shouldn’t have been any problems.
Leaning against the wall and lighting a cigarette, Qian Meng took a drag and spoke in a bland tone, “Am I also hungry? What do you need help with, Miss Jiang? Just say it, and I’ll certainly not refuse as long as I can be of help.”
Qian Meng didn’t like owing favors to anyone, especially people like Jiang Linyan. Although they had had an indescribable encounter after getting drunk, Qian Meng knew that it was better not to get involved with someone like Jiang Linyan, whom he couldn’t afford to provoke.
“I have a bit of news here. I want you to help me find some reliable public accounts, buy some trolls, and make a big deal out of it. The quicker, the better.”
Jiang Linyan was now desperately seeking any solution; she felt that Qian Meng was a kindred spirit, believing that as long as Mu Chengxi was unhappy, Qian Meng would be very pleased, so she was sure he would be happy to do this.
“Public accounts? Trolls? Do you really need to go through all that trouble? Who do you want to expose? Just throw it on Weibo, isn’t that better? It’s more effective than anything you could buy!”
Qian Meng spoke without thinking, showing no interest in Jiang Linyan’s scheming. The only thing he was interested in now was how to get close to Wen Xin.
The moment he guessed Wen Xin’s identity, he felt an inexplicable excitement inside him; just thinking about the little princess he had been longing to see again returning to Beijing made him somewhat impatient.
Qian Meng’s words effectively reminded Jiang Linyan. Sitting on the chair, she gently slapped her forehead, scolding herself for not having thought of that method.
“Alright, I got it.”
Jiang Linyan didn’t wait for Qian Meng to say anything else, she hung up the call and began her plan. This time, no matter what, she was determined to ruin Wen Xin with this incident.
After being hung up on, Qian Meng found Jiang Linfei to be somewhat baffling, but he didn’t think much of it. He was completely uninterested in Jiang Linfei’s affairs; all he was thinking about was how to get closer to Mu Chengxi, and thereby get closer to Wen Xin.
When Qian Meng shared his thoughts with the brothers around him, one of them, a bit bolder, stood up, walked over to Qian Meng, and pressed the back of his hand against Qian Meng’s forehead.
“Brother Meng, are you sick or something? Have you forgotten how Mu Chengxi used to suppress you when we were kids, or how he closed down our racetrack to stop his girlfriend from coming to play, causing us heavy losses?”
“Right! Brother Meng, you can’t suddenly turn against us! We have always stood on the opposite side from Mu Chengxi. You can’t just switch sides now, can you?”
“Exactly, Brother Meng, you need to think it over. Because of a racing track, we almost went bankrupt. It’s a good thing someone bought it, or else we would have been utterly ruined.”
“Mu Chengxi is just inhumane! He’s noble, he didn’t want his girlfriend involved in such dangerous stuff, so he destroyed our business. What does he think he is?”
When this group of people brought up Mu Chengxi, everyone was so aggravated that they practically itched with loathing. Mu Chengxi almost ruined them completely, and now, suddenly asking for peace, they simply couldn’t understand Qian Meng’s thinking.
Just then, the man who had been sitting quietly in the corner suddenly spoke up.
“Brother Meng, I get it! You must have fallen for his girlfriend? You want to take her away while he’s not watching, making him wear the green hat and lose his dignity. I must say, Brother Meng, your plot is indeed sinister!”
“Shut up!” Qian Meng snapped as he stood up and slapped the man who was letting his imagination run wild, though he had indeed guessed half of his thoughts; he was doing this for Wen Xin.
“I’m seriously thinking about making peace with Mu Chengxi. All these years, going against Mu Chengxi has gotten us nowhere. I don’t want to fight anymore. If you can’t beat them, join them. That would be better.”
Qian Meng, at this moment, exhibited an attitude of resignation; he didn’t want to explain his reasons, hoping instead that those around him would think it was because he couldn’t cope, and that there was no shame in being a helpless loser.
The crowd watched Qian Meng, their eyes filled with disbelief; they had never imagined Qian Meng compromising with Mu Chengxi. It was indeed unbelievable.
“Brother Meng, don’t scare me; you can’t be serious, can you? Just because you’re willing to compromise doesn’t mean Mu Chengxi will accept. Besides, the people around him aren’t like us at all. Brother Meng, you should really think this through!”
At this time, everyone tried their best to persuade Qian Meng to take a moment to cool down, considering the current situation.
Especially since the people in Mu Chengxi’s circle and those in their circle were totally different; it was impossible for them to ever integrate.
“I’m not taking you all with me to surrender; it’s my own matter, and won’t drag any of you down. You all can be at ease about this!”
“Even if Mu Chengxi and I come to terms and become friends in the future, I won’t force you to blend into his circle. Don’t worry, I’ll always be your Brother Meng, and I’ll be there for you like I always have been!”
Qian Meng knew what everyone was worried about, and he had already considered it while preparing to discuss this matter. The thing he intended to do wasn’t about sacrificing his brothers, so no one needed to make any concessions for him.
His matters were unrelated to these people and did not necessitate involving too many others.
After Qian Meng finished speaking, everyone just silently stared at him, unable to utter another word.
“Since Brother Meng has already decided to do this, he must have his reasons, and we, as his followers, can only support him.”
