Nightmare Assault

Chapter 167: Aid



Pi Wan pulled a chair over and sat across from Jiang Cheng. He didn’t feel awkward. However, before he said anything, Jiang Cheng shot a glance at him, “Talk to me after you remove the sunglasses.”

Fatty felt that Jiang Cheng’s demand was rather impolite. He found a place to sit, but it was further from the two. He was worried about interrupting the Doctor.

Pi Wan hesitated when he heard Jiang Cheng’s request. Then, he removed the sunglasses unwillingly. This time, Fatty was stunned. Pi Wan’s not-that-handsome face was covered in scratches. Most of them were located on the right side of his face. They looked like nail scratches and were just starting to scab. The thing that shocked Fatty the most was Pi Wan’s left eye. It was so swollen that Pi Wan could barely open it. Clearly, he was punched.

Fatty was confused. He looked like a respectable man. Why would he be beaten up like this?

However, Jiang Cheng didn’t seem surprised. He leaned on the couch and studied Pi Wan slowly. He seemed to be used to this situation already. He picked up the cup, took a sip of the water and placed the cup back. “Tell me. What is it this time?”

Pi Wan pouted, “It’s about the small asset under my girlfriend’s name!

“This time, it’s her two granddaughters and… her useless grandson!” Pi Wan seemed to remember the beating, and his lips shivered from anger, “They invited me to the hotel in the name of reconciliation, but look at what happened!” He pointed at his face. “They are so cunning! They wish to ruin my face so that my girlfriend will stay away from me!” He gritted his teeth and huffed, “In their dreams!”

The more Fatty listened to him, the more he understood. Pi Wan was trying to feed off his girlfriend! However, this was the Doctor’s territory. Fatty understood that. He knew he couldn’t intervene when it was related to the Doctor’s business.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Cheng naturally shook two fingers. “Two points.”

Fatty and Pi Wan sat up straight. Fatty instinctually searched for pen and paper.

“First,” Jiang Cheng shot Pi Wan a lazy glace, “6 hundred million is not a little asset.”

Fatty was startled. Then, his face twisted from how his mind was limited by poverty.

“Second,” Jiang Cheng leaned forward, which put a lot of pressure on Pi Wan. Jiang Cheng looked into the latter’s eyes and said, “Haven’t I reminded you not to get greedy?”

Pi Wan swallowed and whispered, “Doctor Jiang, I followed your advice. I only asked for the amount you advised me to. I didn’t ask for more!”

Jiang Cheng frowned, “How was the contract drafted?”

“It said that if something bad happened to my girlfriend, her assets would be split in a ratio of 3 to 7. I’ll only accept the part that I deserve,” Pi Wan said.

Fatty’s eyes were green. He instantly understood why the Doctor said that Pi Wan would be dressed in red if something happened to Pi Wan’s girlfriend. The 30 percent of six hundred million is 18 million!

Endless dollar signs appeared in Fatty’s mind. He couldn’t envision the amount of wealth that was. Even if he earned 6000 a month, he would work 3000 years to earn that amount of money! And that was for not doing much on Pi Wan’s part.

Now that Fatty thought about it, if he were Pi Wan and something happened to his girlfriend, he would do more than wear red. He might hire a celebration troop or something like that.

Jiang Cheng was silent for a while. Then, he lifted his head to ask Pi Wan, “Did you ask for the 70 percent?”

Pi Wan was confused. “Of course. Is that not how much I deserve?”

Jiang Cheng, “...”

Fatty raised his hand. He didn’t want to say anything, but he couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Brother Pi Wan.” Fatty pressed his lips. “There’s still time for you to run. It’s hard to say later.” Fatty could see that Jiang Cheng didn’t want to get involved in Pi Wan’s business. However, Pi Wan kept begging him. Then, Pi Wan’s eyes darted about, and he leaned in to whisper in Jiang Cheng’s ears. Jiang Cheng’s face reddened. Then, he looked at Pi Wan as if to confirm something. Pi Wan blinked multiple times as if in confirmation.

“Fine!” Jiang Cheng sat back down and sighed. “I am… too good of a person.”

“Doctor Jiang, you are more than that!” Pi Wan quickly launched into the praises. “You are a great doctor and incredibly handsome!”

“That’s enough.” Jiang Cheng waved his hands. “I’ll come up with a solution before tomorrow regarding this. Just wait for my news.”

“Thank you, Doctor Jiang,” Pi Wan bowed deeply. Fatty suspected that his presence had limited Pi Wan. If he were not there, Pi Wan might kowtow before he left.

“Then, I’ll have to trouble Doctor Jiang,” Pi Wan wiped his hands with excitement, “Since you’re busy, I won’t trouble you anymore…” Pi Wan turned around and walked to the door. He was familiar with Jiang Cheng. He didn’t like people who rambled without benefits.

Jiang Cheng grabbed a manila folder from the couch and uttered, “Wait.”

Pi Wan instantly stopped and turned around. “Doctor Jiang, is there anything else?”

“I need your help with something.” Jiang Cheng handed the folder to Pi Wan. They were not close enough for Pi Wan to grab the folder, so Pi Wan jogged forward and accepted the folder with an exaggerated gesture. He opened it and found a few drawings. They were portraits of women.

They were pencil sketches. The strokes were simple and sharp. There were four sketches.

Pi Wan looked through them with interest. Then, he looked up and asked with confusion, “These are…”

“They are sketches of two women.” Jiang Cheng shot him a look, “The first three portraits are of the same woman. The first two portraits show her in different outfits, and the third portrait shows how I imagine she’d look with glasses on.”

When he saw the sketches, Fatty’s eyes widened. He recognised Chen Xiaomeng instantly. He was greatly impressed by Jiang Cheng’s drawing skills. Chen Xiaomeng’s likeness appeared on the papers. They were about 90 percent similar.
