A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

After Jiang Yi left, Grandpa Jiang called Chi Ruiche, who also said on the phone that he needed to have a good talk with Grandpa Jiang.

Youjun dragged Jiang Yi around Xijing, refusing to let him go home, saying he'd stop going around if his grandfather called. Jiang Yi could only sit sullenly in the back.

Chi Ruiche quickly arrived at the study, straightened his clothes at the door, buttoned his suit jacket, and knocked respectfully.

"Enter."

Grandpa Jiang put down his teacup, gesturing for Chi Ruiche to sit down. "You came quite quickly."

There are two chairs and a small coffee table on the left side of the study.

“This gives me ample time to consult with you.” Chi Ruiche sat down calmly.

No one spoke. After not seeing him for three years, Grandpa Jiang sized up Chi Ruiche. Chi Ruiche was the most outstanding of this generation, both in terms of character and business acumen.

People who are groomed as successors by their former squad leaders from a young age are often the most ruthless.

"Xiao Che, I heard you won the bid, beating Xiao Yang." Grandpa Jiang had the latest newspaper on his desk. Although he wasn't in the business world, he was well-informed.

"You're too kind," Chi Ruiche replied respectfully.

"It's your own skill; we're getting old."

Grandpa Jiang smiled, then his expression turned serious and earnest. "But there are some things that are not your business."

"Grandpa Jiang, how do you know that I am not capable now?"

Chi Ruiche always gives people the feeling of being in control. Over the years, he has been able to assess the situation, accumulate wealth, and become a powerful figure in the business world.

"Grandpa Jiang, does the promise I made to you three years ago still stand?"

Three years ago, on the night before Jiang Yi left for New Zealand, Chi Ruiche took the initiative to find Grandpa Jiang, wanting to talk to him about Jiang Yi.

More often than not, Jiang Yi cried and said, "Che, I don't want to go, I want to stay with you."

"Xiao Che, did you come here for Jiang Yi?"

Grandpa Jiang was setting up a chessboard. "Li Yue's matter has been resolved."

"There are still a few doubts, but Jiang Yi is definitely safe." Grandpa Jiang invited Chi Ruiche to play a game of chess. The black and white pieces landed with a resounding thud, and each move was well-planned and strategic.

"Talk about it."

The older generation didn't get involved in this matter, firstly to give the current generation a chance, and secondly because this incident served as a wake-up call for them.

"The person who stabbed Li Yue shouted, 'This isn't a real knife,' but he contradicted himself in his official confession in an attempt to exonerate himself. Secondly, Hao Xiao, who injured Jiang Yi's arm, didn't say a word in his own defense, only saying, 'I did it, no one ordered me to do it.' No matter how badly he was beaten, he never said another word."

"But Hao Liang has a younger sister who went abroad half a month before the incident. Hao Liang and his sister depended on each other for survival. They temporarily transferred to Jiang Yi School, but every month a sum of money was deposited into his account on time. He would then transfer it to another account until two months had passed without any further transfers. The total amount was one million."

After such a major incident involving Jiang Yi, Chi Ruiche thoroughly investigated both internal and external matters, and he firmly believed that the matter was not so simple.

"Anything else?" Grandpa Jiang was not directly involved in the investigation of this matter.

"The evidence came too suddenly. I checked and there was no event at the photography club that day, but someone deliberately set up the equipment there; the person who reported Hao Xiao to the police has not yet come forward to claim the reward."

It was all a coincidence.

Grandpa Jiang listened to his analysis and admired his ability to calmly analyze and handle situations at any time, and to keenly capture the slightest clues.

"Since you know all this, you should understand that this matter is aimed at him, and there may be more things to come."

“Grandpa Jiang, I am a member of the Jiang family, and I have long been a part of it. There is no way to avoid it.”

Chi Ruiche didn't understand why Grandpa Jiang was so protective of Jiang Yi, while he always let his other two grandsons do as they pleased.

"But I will do my best to protect him from now on, and this will never happen again."

“Xiao Che, I know you and Xiao Yi are very close, but your abilities are far from enough right now. Only I can protect her. As long as you follow the path I give her, you will have no worries for the rest of your life.”

Although Grandpa Jiang acknowledges Chi Ruiche's abilities, he believes that Chi Ruiche is still too inexperienced.

Chi Ruiche lowered his body and said respectfully.

"In three years, I will establish a firm foothold in Xijing and build my own empire. As for these families, they will only be able to look up to me in the dust. After that, I ask that you let Jiang Yi decide whether to stay or leave."

From this moment on, everything he did was for Jiang Yi; he didn't know when this little guy had become so important.

"Xiao Che, think things through before you get involved."

Grandpa Jiang believed he had the ability, but he had his own concerns.

“Grandpa Jiang, I have thought this through very carefully, and I hope you will agree.” Chi Ruiche straightened up and lowered his head.

The game ended in a draw. Grandpa Jiang's eyes flashed with disbelief. After thinking for a moment, he put down the chess piece.

"it is good."
