Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

There are too many temptations outside, and if a man’s heart is no longer with you, it’s useless even if you clear all the women around him.

...

At this moment, in the club’s private room, although Jiang Chengsi, this straightforward man, spoke sharply, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were both present.

Tang Wan and Yang Yiyi chatted a lot about their school days, mentioning some memorable teachers and classmates, making the atmosphere quite pleasant.

Jiang Jinsang secretly sent a text message to Jiang Chengsi.

Someone took out their phone and looked at it, finding only two words:

[Go ahead.]

Jiang Chengsi gritted his teeth, thinking, what nonsense are you talking about? Go for what?

He cleared his throat and picked up the glass in front of him, standing up, ”Miss Yang, I toast to you with water instead of wine, thanking you for providing timely information last time, which allowed us to catch Geng Dong in time.”

”Fourth Master, you are too kind, it was the right thing to do.” Yang Yiyi hurriedly stood up with her glass.

”My sister-in-law was frightened at the time and stayed in the hospital for several days. My brother had to take care of her and couldn’t come over, so this drink is also on behalf of my brother and sister-in-law.”

”You overstate it, making me unworthy of such words.”

After some courtesy and drinking tea, the two sat down. Since Geng Dong was mentioned, Jiang Jinsang casually spoke:

”Miss Yang, you’re truly remarkable. After all, being with Geng Dong for so long, you could so decisively ’sacrifice for justice.’

Yang Yiyi smiled, ”What you said... I was quite scared when I saw the news, and I knew that if I handed the documents to him and let him escape, I would be his accomplice, and maybe I would be in detention now.”

”If you were so scared, why didn’t you report to the police immediately?” Jiang Chengsi asked, tilting his head.

Yang Yiyi was taken aback, ”Actually, I’m not sure. Anyway, when I heard it was related to the Jiang Family, I notified Wanwan.”

”Geng Dong must have talked to you a lot about me privately, right?” Jiang Chengsi said while eating, seemingly casually.

”He had grudges against you and always wanted to find a chance to retaliate.”

”Did you know about him messing with drugs in my bar?” Jiang Chengsi asked casually.

Hearing this, Yang Yiyi’s face stiffened slightly, ”He only mentioned it, but I didn’t take it seriously...”

”Do you think he could get those dirty things?”

”Actually, there are some things about him that I’m not clear about either; he didn’t tell me everything.”

...

While Jiang Chengsi was questioning, Jiang Jinsang was observing from the side.

Honestly, Yang Yiyi is much more clever than Geng Dong; it seemed like she was answering questions, yet she didn’t say anything decisively, not closing off all her options.

They were just probing today, not conducting a police interrogation. Just a hint was enough, and soon Jiang Chengsi steered the conversation away.

The meal ended quickly without anyone drinking, with Tang Wan and Yang Yiyi chatting while Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Chengsi followed behind.

”Xiaowu, doesn’t seem to be any problem, huh?” Jiang Chengsi lowered his voice.

”The police must have asked all this content; even if there was an issue, she already has her responses, so we couldn’t get much out of it to begin with.”

”...” Jiang Chengsi was displeased upon hearing this, thinking, why make him come over if nothing could be found?

”We’re just feeling things out, but it’s not entirely fruitless.”

”What did you find?”

”She’s quite smart, doesn’t leave any gaps in her words, and the more seamless it is, the more it indicates problems. If she had shown some flaws, it would have seemed more genuine,” Jiang Jinsang frankly commented.

”A person’s memory of an event changes over time, especially details; her words seemed rehearsed.”

”I guess the police have sought her several times, with the statements on record being identical.”

...

Jiang Chengsi found it somewhat headache-inducing as he listened, ”Why do business? You should be a detective. Where did you learn all this?”

Jiang Jinsang merely smiled, ”Reading more books is beneficial; if you want to read these, I’ll find some for you another day.”

”Spare me; I already have a bunch of finance books to go through.” Jiang Chengsi got a headache at the thought of reading, ”Didn’t you notice her looking at me strangely?”

”What about it?”

”Geng Dong just got locked up, and she’s urgently seeking a sugar daddy? Eyeing me?”
