Chapter 739: A Chance Encounter with a Thief

"Jiang Chen, I see that you are not too young, you should not have a family yet, right?" Old Man Lu put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Jiang Chen with a smile and said.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Old Man Lu to suddenly ask this question.

He subconsciously glanced at Lu Qingwan and found that she was lowering her head, with a faint flush on her face.

He knew it in his heart, and replied with a smile: "Old man Lu, you are really unique. It's true that I don't have a family yet, but I don't have much time or energy to think about it right now. ”

Old Man Lu nodded in understanding.

He knew that an outstanding talent like Jiang Chen naturally put his career first.

However, he did not give up the idea of matching the two, but continued to knock on the side from a different angle: "It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but you can't ignore your personal life." I see that you and Qingwan are the same age, and they are both single, so it's better to ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingwan was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.

She sneaked a glance at Jiang Chen and found that he was looking at her with a smile, a gentle glint in his eyes.

She was flustered in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen naturally also noticed Lu Qingwan's shyness and embarrassment, he didn't say anything, just responded politely: "Old man Lu, what you said is true. However, this kind of thing is about fate and feeling, and it is not in a hurry. ”

His answer was extremely ingenious, expressing respect without losing his position, and a trace of appreciation flashed in Old Man Lu's eyes after hearing it,

Then he laughed out loud, and his voice was full of boldness and satisfaction: "Haha, good, good!" Jiang Chen, you are really a very smart young man, neither humble nor arrogant, and you know how to be proportionate. ”

Lu Qingwan watched all this quietly from the side, and the shyness and embarrassment in her heart quietly dissipated like spring breeze and rain after Jiang Chen's words.

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling her nerves loosen before.

She knew that Jiang Chen did not directly refuse her grandfather's suggestion, which undoubtedly left a glimmer of hope for her.

But at the same time, she is also clearly aware that emotional matters cannot be rushed, and it takes time to slowly cultivate and deepen.

The atmosphere of the dinner was made more relaxed and enjoyable by this little episode.

The four of them sat around the dining table, and all kinds of light-hearted and interesting topics came out one after another.

Old Man Lu told interesting stories about his youth with great interest, which caused everyone to laugh and marvel at times.

Lu Qingwan also let go of herself in a rare way, sharing some happy moments at school and among friends.

Jiang Chen interjected a humorous sentence or two from time to time, making the whole conversation more lively and interesting.

On the table, food and wine go hand in hand, but what is more attractive is the endless laughter and warm conversation.

Late at night, Jiang Chen went back to his residence to rest.

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance.

The early morning sea breeze carried a little coolness, blowing on his face, making him feel a little fresh.

Jincheng is close to the sea, and the scenery is still very good.

Just then, the old ghost knocked respectfully on the door and walked in.

"Jiang Shao, there's news." The old ghost whispered, handing over a document.

Jiang Chen took the document, nodded slightly, and motioned for the old ghost to continue.

"Chen Quanxiao takes a boat to a nearby island every weekend to participate in the big gamble."

The old ghost reported in detail, "There is a very secret casino on that small island, which attracts many rich and powerful. Chen Quanxiao is a frequent visitor there and is said to be extremely addicted to gambling. ”

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth hooked up a sneer, "This is his weakness." We'll have to find a way to get in and meet him for a while. ”

The old ghost nodded yes, and added, "That island is heavily guarded, and it's not easy to sneak in. However, I have already arranged the ship and identity, and Jiang Shao can set off at any time. ”

"Good." Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction, "We'll leave now." ”

The two of them took a speedboat and soon arrived at the island.

The scenery of the island is unexpectedly beautiful, the water is crystal clear, and the sand is delicate and soft.

But what surprised Jiang Chen even more was the architecture on the island.

Magnificent casinos, five-star hotels, and a variety of high-end entertainment facilities are all available.

It is like a haven of luxury in seclusion.

Jiang Chen checked in in the hotel lobby, and his room was on the top floor with a view overlooking the entire island.

He stood in front of the window, looking deeply into the distance.

He knows that this task will not be easy, but he is confident that he can complete it.

A moment later, Jiang Chen set off with the little ghost.

But on the way to the casino, Jiang Chen accidentally met a thief.

The other party's method is very subtle, and the theft is completed almost instantaneously.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, he didn't want to be nosy, but the thief's stealing skills aroused his curiosity.

"You're waiting for me here." He admonished the old ghost.

Immediately, he quietly followed the thief, wanting to see who this skilled thief really was.

The thief didn't seem to be aware of Jiang Chen's tracking, and he shuttled through the crowd all the way, stopping from time to time to look for the next target.

Jiang Chen followed closely behind the thief, keeping a certain distance.

He noticed that the thief had a very keen eye and was always the first to spot potential prey.

And his movements are so swift and stealthy that they are almost imperceptible.

Finally, the thief stopped by a middle-aged man who looked very wealthy.

He quickly approached the man, reaching out one hand and pretending to support him, while the other hand crept into the man's pocket.

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly quickened his pace and grabbed the thief's wrist.

The thief was taken aback, and when he turned around and saw that it was Jiang Chen, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" The thief tried to break free of Jiang Chen's hand, but Jiang Chen's hand clamped his wrist tightly like an iron tong.

"Your way of stealing is peculiar, and I'm intrigued." Jiang Chen looked at the thief with a smile, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

The thief's eyes widened, obviously not expecting Jiang Chen to be interested in his stealing skills.

He struggled for a while and found that he couldn't break free from Jiang Chen's hand, so he had to give up resistance.

"You...... What do you want to do? The thief looked at Jiang Chen with some fear, for fear that he would do something unfavorable to him.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to see how you do it." Jiang Chen let go of his hand and motioned for the thief to leave.

But the thief did not leave immediately, but stood there hesitantly.

Jiang Chen glanced at the thief and knew what he was thinking.

He smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the thief: "If you are interested, you can come to me." Maybe we can talk. ”
