Chapter 1419: Chapter 815: Crushing Level of Scheming and Sharp Tongues (Fourth Update)

Everyone followed the voice and looked over.

Jiang Shiyi, under the guidance of a bar staff member, was walking slowly towards them. He had arrived in a hurry, wearing only a light gray loungewear set, with a long black trench coat thrown over.

Elegantly courteous, with a pair of strikingly beautiful almond eyes, he even gave off a gentle impression.

"Third Young Master." The manager hurried over.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Shiyi looked down at him.

"I’m fine." The manager was meeting Jiang Shiyi for the first time. To be honest, before Fourth Master left, he had given the manager Jiang Shiyi’s number, telling him to contact this Third Young Master Jiang if anything urgent arose.

Jiang Shiyi was known for having once publicly denounced his biological father, but that was a long time ago. Since then, after returning to the capital, he had kept a low profile.

Among the many brothers of the Jiang Family, he seemed to be the least noticeable, the most easily overlooked.

The manager was still doubtful, worried that Jiang Shiyi might not be able to handle this situation.

Fourth Master would have had Second or Fifth Master come, or as a lesser option, Young Master Qi. But the person in front of him...

He really couldn’t see through him.

Nor did he know if he could control the situation.

Geng Dong hadn’t expected the person the Jiang Family sent to be Jiang Shiyi.

If Jiang Chengsi’s place wasn’t clean, before things were clear, it was really inappropriate for anyone from the Jiang Family to show up. After all, there was a group behind them; involving it for the sake of a bar wouldn’t be worth the loss.

He figured Jiang Yanting or Jiang Jinsang might not show up, but he completely overlooked that Jiang Chengsi actually had a brother!

The main reason being that this Third Young Master Jiang truly had no presence.

He didn’t participate in company affairs, rarely attended parties, and didn’t socialize with people in the circle. No one knew his weight or worth.

...

However, when Geng Dong saw him approach, he did restrain himself a bit, given the Jiang name, they deserved respect after all.

"Didn’t expect the first to appear would be Third Young Master Jiang. Such a big matter tonight, Fourth Master isn’t coming out, do you really think you’re responsible?" Geng Dong sneered.

Jiang Shiyi stepped in, glancing at Lin Luyou out of the corner of his eye, ensuring she was fine before signaling her with his eyes to move behind him.

This was all clearly seen by Geng Dong; Jiang Shiyi, looking scholarly and cultured, was entirely different from Jiang Chengsi’s wild and unruly nature. As if...

He seemed easy to bully!

Could it be that the Jiang Family deliberately sent him out to take the blame?

"Third Young Master, your own place isn’t cleaned up yet, and you still have time for others? You’d better take care of yourself first."

"You’re barely able to take care of yourself, yet you’re playing the hero to rescue a beauty."

Jiang Shiyi gave him a sidelong glance. Clearly possessing an expressive face, yet his lips were thin and cool as ice.

When he spoke, his voice carried a unique deep magnetic quality, though it was also unexpectedly sharp and caustic to Geng Dong in this lifetime:

"Who are you?"

Those four words turned Geng Dong’s face ashen.

He...

He actually didn’t recognize him?

He had just been so arrogant and domineering in front of him, but now it seemed he was just like a clown.

"Third Young Master, this is Dong Ge, Geng Dong, the Young Master of the Geng Family." The manager explained.

"Geng Family? Which Geng Family?" Jiang Shiyi’s expression was indifferent.

That look clearly said:

You’re unworthy of my recognition!

"Just..." The manager had never encountered Jiang Shiyi before, it was the first time. He hadn’t expected Fourth Master to be straightforward, yet had such a sharp-tongued brother, for a moment not knowing what to say, "Just... the Geng Family, in construction materials."

Jiang Shiyi nodded, but his expression told everyone:

He truly didn’t know Geng Dong.

Prompting those around to whisper unconsciously:

"Others are called brother and young master, and they really think they’re someone. Third Young Master’s words truly are soft with hidden needles, the kind of needle that’s deadly."

"I thought they knew each other just now when he was confronting Third Young Master."

"It was really awkward death."

...

Geng Dong hadn’t expected Jiang Chengsi to be so direct, yet have such a deep and sharp-tongued brother!

Are these two really brothers?

Jiang Shiyi turned to Geng Dong, "Mr. Geng, right? You just said many things to me, also asking if I could handle this? Just right, I too have a few questions for you."

"Whether I can handle this seems unrelated to you? What right do you have to question me?"

"Or are you just starting to meddle in Jiang Family matters as an outsider?"

"Since the incident happened here, there’s nothing that’s unrelated to me, including her matters, which naturally are my matters!" Jiang Shiyi was naturally referring to Lin Luyou.

At this moment, everyone was thinking that this is also the Jiang Family’s territory. If someone tries to make trouble and bully people here, it’s naturally his matter as well.

Except for Lin Luyou, the involved party, almost no one could hear the implications.

Geng Dong was so furious that his face turned red, unable to win against Jiang Shiyi in argument; he could only grit his teeth and threaten, "I would love to see how you plan to take responsibility for tonight’s matter."

"What happened tonight?"

His ink-black eyes were even more inscrutable under the dim bar lights.

Originally someone with an academic aura, yet with a sharply defined jawline.

Making his whole demeanor suddenly exude a coldness.

"Even if the police found something, what it is, they haven’t given a definite answer yet; it might just be some cold and pain medication, even the police can’t say that there’s illegal activity here, it’s just in the investigation and evidence collection stage..."

"And on what basis do you stand up and say I can’t take responsibility for tonight’s incident?"

"Unless you’re faster than the police and already know the things found here are definitely illegal?"

Geng Dong’s face instantly turned ashen.

Lin Luyou quietly stood behind Jiang Shiyi. She used to follow Jiang Shiyi closely, learning from him, and knew Jiang Shiyi had a sharp tongue...

Even if something was white, he could twist it from some tricky angles to describe it as black.

Geng Dong’s level simply couldn’t compare in front of Jiang Shiyi.

What Jiang Shiyi said was indeed reasonable. The police are currently just in the investigation stage; the test results would take time, and Geng Dong’s impatient shouting only provided Jiang Shiyi with a handle to catch his mistake.

This was Geng Dong’s first time encountering Jiang Shiyi, and honestly...

He’s quite ruthless!

Jiang Shiyi looked at him, "The nature of this matter is based on the police’s evidence rather than your single word deciding the case."

"If there’s truly an illegal situation here, the police will naturally uncover the truth."

"You, however... cooperating with the police investigation is a citizen’s obligation. Since you’re here, just fulfill your duty; if you continue to stir trouble, making irresponsible claims, suggesting blame, hinting at slander, this issue might end up with you being sued before it’s over."

The manager was completely stunned.

Honestly, he’s nowhere near the same level as Fourth Master.

Geng Dong, who was previously arrogant and outrageous, had now been thoroughly subdued by Jiang Shiyi’s series of remarks.

The brothers of the Jiang Family are all venomous, aren’t they?

Who the hell says Third Master has no presence, his words can definitely kill.

The police standing by never spoke up; given Geng Dong’s previous arrogance, they couldn’t deal with it, but Jiang Shiyi handled it well.

Indeed...

To handle such people, a more formidable character is needed.

**

Jiang Shiyi directly confronted Geng Dong the moment he arrived, for Lin Luyou’s sake, and also to make an example of him. The bar was chaotic at the moment, with some feeling innocent and unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, but Geng Dong was the most arrogant one.

It’s considered a warning example.

With Jiang Shiyi present, everyone cooperated, and the police worked efficiently. Geng Dong could only be labeled as suspicious without evidence, requiring only information registration and sample collection before letting him go.

The police had other tasks to attend to and didn’t linger; naturally, Lin Luyou followed them away.

The bar manager watched as the police left. Although business today couldn’t proceed, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Third Master, would you like to rest in Fourth Master’s office? I’ll get you some water."

Jiang Shiyi happened to have some questions for him, so he nodded.

When the bar manager brought in water, Jiang Shiyi was fiddling with the model motorcycle on Jiang Chengsi’s desk, causing the manager to worry. The model wasn’t cheap, and Fourth Master had someone get it from abroad, treasuring it, and hadn’t allowed anyone to touch it.

Then he watched in shock as the model motorcycle was disassembled into countless parts in Jiang Shiyi’s hands and then tossed aside, with Jiang Shiyi nonchalantly saying:

"This model... is too fragile."

"..." The manager coughed twice, "Third Master, your tea."

"What’s the deal with that Geng Dong? Does he have old grievances with Chengsi?"

The manager explained what he knew, mostly just a grudge formed during racing, and Jiang Shiyi drank his water, "Do you think tonight’s incident was accidental or deliberately planned?"

The manager chuckled awkwardly but didn’t dare speak out.

"Just tell me the truth, I’m not Chengsi; I don’t have such a volatile temper nor act recklessly, eager for a fight over just a few words."

"..."

Far in Nanjiang, Jiang Chengsi sat by the desk, pondering who was trying to target him. Si Qingxiao handed him a glass of water, and without hesitation, he drank a sip...

Nearly scalding his tongue.
