I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 932
Chapter 932: A Serious Case
“Achoo!”
Jiang Chen suddenly sneezed while bathing in the sea breeze.
Ayesha grabbed the coat beside her and draped it on his shoulders.
Holding onto Ayesha’s hand, Jiang Chen turned his head and smiled.
“It’s okay. You know I won’t catch a cold.”
After being injected with the genetic vaccine, his immunity was even enough to ignore the X1 bacterial infection, and he hadn’t experienced the feeling of having a fever for a long time.
“But… you were sneezing. It is better to be careful,” Ayesha whispered.
“Perhaps someone is thinking about me.” Jiang Chen shrugged with a smile and tightened the coat around him. “How is the situation in Europe?”
“We helped the Russians ship weapons into Frankberg. The Russians are still negotiating with the insurgents in regards to the budget. Our people are still tracking the whereabouts of the new high-ranking Freemasonry members and Carmen, but they have kept their trail very secure. Even with the help of the KGB, our progress is quite slow,” Ayesha said with some regrets.
Smiling, Jiang Chen reached out and rubbed the little girl’s head.
“No need to become frustrated by this, we have a lot of time.”
The wealthier one was, the more fearful of death. The same applied to Jiang Chen. Since being attacked by a mental psychic on his way home, it was not that he didn’t experience another security threat, but Ghost Agents solved all the troubles without him knowing. In the end, he was usually only presented with a paper report.
The remaining Kurofune, the Freemasonry, and business rivals. Too many people wanted him dead. The same was true for Carmen Rothschild. The enemy of the Freemasonry was not just Future Group, so he must be careful.
“Speaking of the situation in Russia, how are they negotiating with the insurgents?” Jiang Chen asked.
“A native Frankberg chocolate maker is responsible for negotiating with the insurgents. A local firm supposedly provides funding to support his efforts of separating the extreme beliefs of the “righteous behavior” in Frankberg, but in fact, the source of funding comes from a hidden account in Gazprom.”
“Is there any evidence of this?” Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.
Ayesha nodded.
“Monica Geller listened to their calls. Although they used a lot of codes, our detection technologies can decipher the meaning of the codes.”
Monica Geller was a name Jiang Chen had heard Ayesha say before. She is one of the main agents of the Ghost Agents active in Western Europe. The agent is codenamed Guinevere, a queen from the legend of ancient England.
After listening to Ayesha’s reply, a satisfied smile emerged on Jiang Chen’s face. He rubbed her hair as it fluttered in the wind.
Although Xin and Russia were allies in many aspects, it was not enough of a reason for Jiang Chen to have no reservations. Even as an ally, he must keep his distance. Controlling the evidence of the collusion between the Frankberg insurgents and the Russian intelligence services does not mean that Jiang Chen must use it in the future, but when necessary, it could play an important role.
Seeing the smile on Jiang Chen’s face, Ayesha smiled happily and gently rubbed her face against his hand.
She always enjoys this warmth and enjoys the smile on the face of her beloved. Especially when she knows that her work was the reason behind this smile. The happiness from her heart gives her even more motivation.
…
Jiang Chen returned from Ange Island to Coro Island after inspecting the high-tech industrial park. Although the undersea tunnel was now open to traffic, occasionally he would choose a yacht as his means of transportation.
One was to enjoy the refreshing breeze, and the other was to stop the yacht anytime when they encountered fish. He could then do some fishing along the way, primarily motivated by the fact that the fish purchased from the market was different from the fish he could personally catch.
Shortly after stepping onto Coro Island, Jiang Chen received a call on the way back to the mansion. It was an unknown number.
“Hello?”
The phone was silent for a while before he heard a stiff female voice.
“…Hello, I’m Ye Yunfei.”
“Ye Yunfei?” Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he recalled this name from his memory. He suddenly remembered the name.
It seemed to be the granddaughter of Ye Qinghua, who he had met a few days ago. But why was she calling?
“Is there anything I can do for you?” Jiang Chen asked politely.
Because Jiang Chen paused for two or three seconds, Ye Yunfei instantly knew that Jiang Chen forgot her name. Her teeth ground together. But when she thought of what her father and grandfather said to her, humiliation quickly appeared and faded between her eyebrows. In the end, she took a deep breath and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart. She then spoke in a calm voice.
“Do you… do you have time to talk? I want to invite you out for a meal. Last time, I was too abrupt… I want to apologize.”
“Oh, that. Don’t worry, I didn’t mind. If you want to have a meal, let’s try another day. I don’t have time now.”
Ye Yunfei was stunned.
No… no time?
She had seen too many men who coveted her beauty, driving luxury cars and gifting her with flowers at her residence while making hearts out of candles or singing a love song while playing the guitar. They have tried all kinds of things to pursue her…
“I invited him too and he actually, actually…”
Seeing there was no noise from the other end, Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Thinking that she had hung up, he decided to hang up as well.
Ye Yunfei was just about to say something, but when she heard the call disconnect, she was completely dumbfounded.
You actually hung up on me?
Anger instantly filled her brain. She gritted her teeth and slammed her phone into the pillow.
Humph!
This is infuriating!
Even the real estate bosses back at home with companies worth tens of billions of dollars treated her with respect. She never had been treated like this, it was no wonder she was furious.
Ye Yunfei would never understand that the people pursuing her all didn’t purely pursue her, but instead pursued the Jiangnan Ye family behind her. Without this background, would those people still pursue her?
Beautiful? Talented? Too many people possess those traits! Even her father’s mistresses could all pull out diplomas from one or two prestigious universities or at least have a few unknown international certifications.
In the public eye, Future Group’s market value was lower than that of Apple, but that was because Future Group remained a private company and didn’t need to seek lending from banks. Anyone with in-depth contact with Future Technology had no doubts about Future Group’s insane profitability.
In the eyes of most ordinary people, Future Group was just an ordinary multinational group. Just like most ordinary people, they remained unclear about whether Future Group and Celestial Trade were controlled by one person or not. Most believed that Xin, with an election system, was a democratic country and believed President Zhang was in office because of his abilities…
Ye Yunfei was a member of the younger generation of the Ye Family. She had never even touched the core of her family’s powers. She just went abroad for a few years and was somewhat arrogant so of course, she didn’t understand all this. Naturally, she just treated Jiang Chen as the boss of a multinational group and a businessman with a lot of money… if he just had money, he wouldn’t even enter the sight of her family.
Although she understood the difficult decision of her father and grandfather and decided to endure the grievances in her heart and contact Jiang Chen, she did not figure out the most crucial point.
Unlike the domestic CEOs and overseas businessmen who were eager to squeeze into the huge domestic market, her background as the Ye family was nothing in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
Even the powerful politician in the Liu Manor spoke politely to him. What is the Ye family to him?
To put it bluntly, this is a type of Princess Syndrome.
And a serious case too.
