Chapter 1142 Abandonment
Chapter 1142 Abandonment
Tang Long was extremely anxious. He had come to seek Jiang Zhenyue's protection, but thinking of the other party's previous behavior, he really didn't dare to mention the matter of the Red Blood Cult easily.
He could only continue to play the victim, "Second Master, this time it was my fault for being careless. Considering the many years I have served you, please give me another chance..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly by Jiang Zhenyue.
"Take credit?"
Jiang Zhenyue's tone was icy. "Haven't I cleaned up enough of your messes over the years? Shenglong Boxing Stadium occupies a prime location in the capital, but you haven't even expanded into a new territory. Someone else, with the resources I provide, wouldn't necessarily be worse off than you."
Hearing this, Tang Long's heart sank, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet.
From the sound of it, Jiang Zhenyue doesn't intend to protect him anymore. Is he going to abandon him?
In an instant, a terrible thought flashed through his mind: I'm afraid there is already a replacement for his role.
If this is true, there is no doubt that this person is Jiang Xiaochuan.
Judging from today's situation, Jiang Zhenyue, the old fox, obviously saw the value of Jiang Xiaochuan.
After this incident, Jiang Xiaochuan's security company will definitely be able to continue operating smoothly, which has posed a real threat to Shenglong Boxing Arena.
If Jiang Zhenyue helps Jiang Xiaochuan again, Tang Long will really become a discarded pawn. Not to mention saving the boxing ring, it is hard to say whether he can even save his life.
Jiang Xiaochuan must not be allowed to remain in Jiang Zhenyue's sight.
Otherwise, there will be no chance of turning the situation around.
"Second Master is absolutely right."
Having made up his mind, Tang Long immediately groveled and lowered his posture even more. "I'm just an insignificant little guy. Anyone with those resources can do better than me."
"But Second Master,"
He changed the subject, his voice deliberately mysterious. "I have something to report to you that I think will be of interest to you."
"explain."
Jiang Zhenyue said lightly, with an imperceptible gleam in his eyes.
"My trip wasn't entirely fruitless. I discovered a surprising secret from Jiang Xiaochuan."
Tang Long paused deliberately, observing Jiang Zhenyue's reaction.
"What secret?"
Jiang Zhenyue's tone was more serious, and his body leaned forward slightly.
Seeing this, Tang Long was secretly annoyed.
It turned out that he cared about Jiang Xiaochuan. Just one word could make this old fox so anxious.
Thinking of the blame he had taken for Jiang Zhenyue over the years, he suppressed his anger and remained expressionless.
"I discovered that Jiang Xiaochuan had somehow provoked the Red Blood Cult, and they came to visit him."
"What?"
Jiang Zhenyue looked surprised, "Are you serious?"
Tang Long was secretly delighted, it seemed like this move was the right one.
As long as Jiang Xiaochuan is tied to the Red Blood Cult, no matter how much Jiang Zhenyue values Jiang Xiaochuan, he will have to weigh the risks.
He hurriedly said, "That's absolutely true! They have two people on the other side, whose strength is no less than that of Old Jin. They are full of blood and energy. They also openly claim to be from the Red Blood Sect. I don't think anyone would dare to impersonate them."
"Second Master, think about it,"
Tang Long continued to exaggerate, "The Red Blood Cult has never dealt with secular families, but this time they came to us personally. It's clear that Jiang Xiaochuan has done something serious. I suspect he has touched something important of the Red Blood Cult..."
Jiang Zhenyue naturally understood the pros and cons without Tang Long's reminder.
He pondered for a moment, his fingertips tapping the armrest unconsciously.
After this test, Jiang Xiaochuan indeed exceeded his expectations.
Not only is he very capable, but he is also very calm and composed, unlike a young man.
If you can use it for your own benefit, it will be a sharp weapon.
Even if it means making enemies with the Huangfu family, it is worth a fight.
But once the Red Blood Cult is involved, the nature of the matter becomes completely different.
Those lunatics don't follow any rules, and I'm afraid I'll get into trouble.
"Is everything you said true?"
Jiang Zhenyue said in a deep voice, staring at Tang Long with a sharp gaze.
"I dare not say a single word of falsehood!"
Tang Long quickly expressed his stance, even raising his right hand as if to swear, "As soon as I learned of this, I came to report it immediately, fearing that I would delay Second Master's important task."
"You did a good job."
After a while, Jiang Zhenyue said indifferently.
Tang Long felt a little relieved, but then he thought: How should he explain why he provoked the Red Blood Cult?
By the time Jiang Zhenyue realizes it himself, the consequences will be even more disastrous. It would be better to take the opportunity to put all the blame on Jiang Xiaochuan.
"If you're alright, go back first."
Jiang Zhenyue said lightly, and had already started to look through the documents on the table, obviously ordering him to leave.
"Second Master, there is one more thing I must report to you.
Tang Long's attitude became more sincere, but his heart felt cold.
He noticed that Jiang Zhenyue didn't even look at him. This indifference was more chilling than a direct rebuke.
In fact, he had a premonition that Jiang Zhenyue had long been dissatisfied with him, but was just troubled by the lack of a suitable replacement.
Now that Jiang Xiaochuan has appeared, it just gives this old fox a reason to kick him away.
But now that things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and say, "That bastard Jiang Xiaochuan is truly despicable! Seeing the Red Blood Cult coming to our door, he actually used me as a shield!"
"Hmm? ...And then?"
Jiang Zhenyue seemed to smell something unusual, and finally raised his head, his spirits lifted.
"Of course I couldn't let him slander me, so I argued with him... and finally, I mentioned your name, Second Master, and he finally gave up."
Tang Long avoided the main point, deliberately omitting the details of how he was targeted by the Red Blood Cult. "I don't think those two would be stupid enough to believe Jiang Xiaochuan's nonsense."
".......What did you say?"
Jiang Zhenyue's eyes twitched suddenly, and his voice suddenly rose, "How dare you say my name?"
He raged, slamming the document in his hand onto the table. "Tang Long, how many times have I told you that you and your Shenglong Boxing Arena have nothing to do with me? Didn't you understand?"
Tang Long's heart trembled, and he hurriedly explained: "Second Master, I was in a desperate situation and wanted to protect myself, otherwise I would never dare to..."
"That's enough!"
Jiang Zhenyue shouted, stood up and paced back and forth, obviously furious.
He knew clearly in his heart: since Tang Long took the initiative to confess instead of concealing it, it meant that the truth was far more serious than he said.
It is very likely that Tang Long himself has been targeted by the Red Blood Cult, so he is eager to come to him for support.
It's not worth it to offend the Red Blood Sect for Tang Long.
Besides, taking this opportunity to kick Tang Long away is an excellent choice.
In fact, he had been waiting for such an opportunity.
"Tang Long,"
Jiang Zhenyue's voice was icy, "From now on, don't set foot in the Jiang family again. Now, leave immediately!"
"Second Master!" Tang Long was shocked. He never expected Jiang Zhenyue to be so heartless.
Even if we disregard their old friendship, does that mean that the other party doesn't care about the secrets he holds?
