Chapter 337: Chapter 337

An Xiaoqing came from a wealthy family, so most of her close friends were either rich or well-connected.

But among these friends, Rongrong was something of an anomaly.

This was because her other friends either held important positions in their family businesses or had opened their own high-end shops or companies.

The ones who preferred having fun over making money would spend their days getting beauty treatments, having their hair done, drinking tea, and so on.

All in all, they did refined things, living sheltered lives away from the elements.

But Rongrong was the complete opposite.

Her father was the head of the Yangcheng City Public Security Bureau.

Her older brother was the captain of a criminal investigation squad.

As for her, she had been a soldier for five years. After coming back, she didn’t choose to get a normal job or join the public security system; instead, she founded a security company.

The company wasn’t very large, but the combat prowess of her trainees was in no way inferior to the experts at the security firms under the Celestial Language Group.

More importantly, this first batch of trainees had all been personally trained by Rongrong herself.

Rongrong was incredibly capable. During her five years in the military, she had not only won awards but had also seen actual combat.

An Xiaoqing had agreed to let her help not only because Rongrong’s background could offer Chenyang excellent protection afterward, but also because her skills would ensure nothing went wrong when they went to find Lin Jiji.

After all, Lin Jiji was a rather famous celebrity.

Besides his assistant and agent, it was likely he’d also have bodyguards.

Although An Xiaoqing knew Chenyang was a good fighter himself, he was likely no match for the bodyguards surrounding a celebrity.

But with Rongrong’s help, everything would go much more smoothly.

Now, after arranging to meet Rongrong downstairs at the hotel, An Xiaoqing told Chenyang everything she had just been thinking about.

Then, an expectant look appeared on her face.

’By recruiting such a powerful ally for him, Chenyang will definitely sing my praises.’

But after listening, Chenyang pinched his forehead, speechless. "Lady, are you trying to film a movie? I just want to talk to Lin Jiji, not gather a gang for an all-out brawl. You suddenly called in the police chief’s daughter... Isn’t that a bit of an overreaction?"

An Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him. "Lin Jiji ruined your reputation, and you think you’re just going to ’talk’ to him? Fine! Even if you go in with a good attitude, do you really think he’ll talk to you?

He’s a huge star, and you’re just a small-time doctor. Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn’t even grant you a meeting. What makes you think you can negotiate with him?"

"I have my ways."

"What ways?"

"Kick down the door, find him, beat him up first, and then force him to talk."

Chenyang wasn’t joking. If he had more time, he would have thought of a gentler method, but time was tight, and he couldn’t afford to worry about subtleties.

The best and only way was to find Lin Jiji through forceful means and resolve all his current problems in a way that would intimidate him.

Chenyang had already figured out exactly what to do and what to say to make Lin Jiji agree to his terms without seeking revenge later.

But after hearing his idea, An Xiaoqing shook her head repeatedly. "I admit, with your skills, beating him up would be as easy as beating a dog.

But the problem is, Lin Jiji is a celebrity! He definitely has bodyguards. And if word gets out that you beat him up, it will be extremely bad for you.

But if you bring Rongrong, these problems can be avoided. She’s a veteran and incredibly tough; ordinary bodyguards are no match for her.

After you beat up Lin Jiji, you won’t have to worry about him calling the police. With her father’s and brother’s influence, they can easily cover it up. Then we just threaten Lin Jiji a bit, and I guarantee he won’t dare to make a peep."

Chenyang’s lips twitched. "Your plan does sound pretty good, but me going alone is completely different from going with someone of your friend’s status.

You know Lin Jiji is a celebrity. If I go alone, I’m the one with nothing to lose. He has a reputation to protect, so he wouldn’t dare risk a mutually destructive fight with me.

But if Rongrong comes along, what if Lin Jiji only pretends to give in? Afterward, he could use his celebrity status to report her to the higher-ups. Then both her father and brother would be implicated."

"But..." An Xiaoqing was suddenly at a loss for words.

It was true that in Yang City, no one would dare to lightly provoke Rongrong’s father and brother.

But Lin Jiji wasn’t from Yang City, and his fame and influence were immense.

He could easily pretend to back down, leave the city, and then retaliate from afar.

Just as Chenyang had said, he wasn’t afraid of retaliation. After all, he was on his own.

But it was different for Rongrong, her father, and her brother. If the incident was exposed, best-case scenario, they would face disciplinary action and demotion. Worst-case, they could lose their official positions entirely.

At this thought, the color drained from An Xiaoqing’s face. "I’ll call Rongrong right now and tell her not to come."

"Okay, call her on the way. Time is tight, so we need to find Lin Jiji immediately. Negotiating with him will take time, too."

"Are you sure you can come to an agreement with him?"

"I’m about ninety percent confident. Besides my fists, I’ve prepared a few other bargaining chips."
