When Alice saw the mark on Jiang Cheng's lips, she immediately understood what had happened. She blushed and raised her hand to wipe her mouth with the sleeve of her pajamas. Then, she helped Jiang Cheng wipe the saliva off his lips. Only then did she embarrassedly smile and shyly bury her face in Jiang Cheng's neck.
"Alice, don't be like this …" Jiang Cheng sat up from the bed. He wanted to push Alice away because she had started kissing his neck again. It was wet and itchy. It was unbearable.
"Knock knock knock …" Someone was knocking on the door.
"Alice, hurry up and get down. Someone is coming." Jiang Cheng said with a bitter smile. Dealing with a European girl like Alice was really difficult.
"Oh." Alice unwillingly got up from Jiang Cheng and walked to the door with bare feet. When the door was opened, Pelia was standing outside. She was shocked when she saw Alice's blushing face. She immediately asked, "Alice, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well again? "
"No, I'm fine, sister." Alice smiled shyly and shook her head.
"That Jiang Cheng was in your room last night?" Pelia continued to ask nervously. She was worried that her sister had been violated.
"Yes." Alice nodded and said happily, "Brother Jiang Cheng slept with me last night. He hasn't woken up yet."
Pelia frowned and immediately pushed the door open. When she came in, she found that Jiang Cheng had already woken up and was walking towards the door. She saw the mark on Jiang Cheng's chest at first glance. Her originally tense heart relaxed. This meant that Jiang Cheng was wearing clothes last night and didn't do anything lewd with Alice.
"Mr. Jiang, good morning." Pelia smiled and greeted Jiang Cheng.
"Good morning …" Jiang Cheng raised his hand and waved at her.
After chatting with Pelia for a while, Jiang Cheng followed Pelia downstairs to wash up. He heard that the underworld bull-Barter, Alice and Pelia's father, would be meeting him soon. After washing up, Jiang Cheng sat on the oval dining table in the center of the villa. There was a French breakfast in front of him, but he didn't start eating. Instead, he waited for Barter to arrive.
After a while, Barter came to Jiang Cheng's table and sat on the main seat. Next to him were Jiang Cheng and Pelia. They sat on his left and right respectively. After sitting down, Barter greeted them and then prepared to eat. While eating, he asked Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng, the people that Pelia brought you to see last night, who do you think is the most suspicious?"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Cheng said, "I don't dare to make a conclusion now. But even if I have some suspicions, I can't do anything to them. Otherwise, you would've done it already."
"Haha, you're right." Barter smiled and agreed, "I'll only do it if I have at least a 70% chance. It's useless to have some suspicions. This is my style of doing things." He ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast and looked at Jiang Cheng, "From today onwards, Alice's safety will be in your hands. While protecting her, I hope you won't restrict her freedom too much."
"I understand." Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed. He knew what Barter meant. He wanted Alice to live as she pleased in her remaining life without any restrictions.
Barter sighed and slowly said, "Actually, I have some other guesses about the people who are plotting against us. Do you know?" He tilted his head to look at Jiang Cheng and continued, "We, the Pelade Family, have three opponents in France, and all of them are big families of the same level as us. I suspect that an insider of our family colluded with one or two of them to launch an attack on the Pelade Family with the intention of destroying our family!"
Jiang Cheng was silent for a while and then asked, "Why did you tell me about your family's internal affairs?"
"Haha …" Barter laughed, "I like you very much. I admire your skills, and your brain seems to be very smart."
"This is the reason?" Jiang Cheng looked at him suspiciously.
"Of course it's not just that." Barter's face became serious as he said in a deep voice, "The most important reason should be a backup plan. It's also my request to you. If I have an accident one day, I hope you can protect and assist my two daughters to inherit the Pallard Family's inheritance. Help them deal with other powerful opponents who intend to fight for the inheritance and the Pallard Family.
"Help Pelia and Alice inherit the inheritance?" Jiang Cheng looked at Barter in disbelief. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I can't do that. This is France, not China. With the influence of our Lung Hing Society in France, it's simply …"
"Wait, don't be in such a hurry to refuse!" Barter raised his hand to stop Jiang Cheng's words and slowly said, "I haven't finished yet. After all, I'm still alive. This is just a precaution. Maybe it's not necessary at all. But as long as you agree, the Pelade family will help the Lung Hing Society develop in France. You should understand what it means for a family like the Pelade to help a gang develop."
Jiang Cheng took a light breath. Of course he knew this. This was definitely an opportunity for the Lung Hing Society to flourish. It was like putting a seed on a piece of fertile soil and having someone carefully take care of it to grow. It was simply two different levels of difficulty compared to working alone. However, if he agreed to it, it would mean that he would have to bear the responsibility. In a fight over a family's inheritance like Pallad's, any powerful person in the family would probably have power several times greater than that of the Dragonrise Association's French branch. Jiang Cheng pondered in silence as he lowered his head to look at the table.
After a long time, Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at Barter, "Why don't you entrust it to other family members? There's no one you can trust in such a huge family?"
"Yes, of course there is, but they're not strong enough." Barter said in a deep voice, "My cousin Kennedy is a trustworthy person. At the same time, he's also quite powerful in the family. But among the people I can trust, only about 1/3 of the family's power is there. As for the others, they might betray us in front of the inheritance!"
Jiang Cheng suddenly understood. Barter felt that he wasn't strong enough among the people he trusted, so he wanted Jiang Cheng's help. Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about it. I'll give you a definite answer after some time." This kind of thing should be discussed with Zhuge Liuyun and other brothers of the Lung Hing Society. He couldn't just agree to it.
"Hehe, of course." Barter smiled and nodded. He said to Jiang Cheng with appreciation, "I appreciate your cautious attitude. If you agree immediately, I'll be worried that you won't keep your promise."
Jiang Cheng smiled and didn't say anything.
Pelia, who was sitting on the side, was watching Jiang Cheng and her father attentively. She maintained a faint smile on her face and curiously looked back and forth at Jiang Cheng from time to time.
After breakfast, Barter said that Jiang Cheng could leave with Alice. From now on, Alice could be said to be staying with Jiang Cheng. She would have to listen to Jiang Cheng's arrangements.
"Alice, we should go." Jiang Cheng stood at the bottom of the stairs and waved at Alice.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Alice replied softly. She turned around and ran back to her room to change her clothes. She ran towards Jiang Cheng with a pink panda doll in her arms. She bounced as she walked like a naughty child.
When she reached the last seven or eight steps, Alice stopped and looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile.
"Come here, Alice. We have to go." Jiang Cheng waved and urged.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, you have to catch me!" Alice said with a smile. "Ah?" Before Jiang Cheng could react to what was going on, he saw Alice, who was on the stairs, bend her legs slightly, and jump towards Jiang Cheng's side. The height of seven or eight steps wasn't high, but for Alice, if no one caught her, she would definitely fall miserably.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng opened his hands reflexively. He took two steps forward and hugged Alice who jumped down from the stairs. He hugged her tightly and spun around to cushion the impact. Just when he wanted to ask Alice why she did this, it was too dangerous. Alice suddenly smiled sweetly.
"Hehe, I knew it was the right choice to ask Brother Jiang Cheng to protect me." Alice said and kissed Jiang Cheng's cheek.
Jiang Cheng blushed. He bent down to let Alice's feet stand on the ground. He straightened up and reached out to her, "Let's go."
"En!" Alice nodded heavily and reached out to grab Jiang Cheng's hand. She was held by Jiang Cheng and walked out of the villa with a pink plush toy in her arms. She looked like a child who was going on a hike from home. She walked a few steps forward and looked back at her father and sister.
Barter, who was far away, looked a bit gloomy. Sister Pelia smiled and waved at Alice, "Alice, take care. I will visit you often!"
"En en!" Alice nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Cheng and Alice walked out of the door of the villa and walked to the parking lot. Jerry and another bodyguard were already waiting. They were Alice's personal guards. They had been taking care of Alice's daily life. Now Jiang Cheng was going to join them.
"Princess, please!" Jerry opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation. He bowed respectfully and said to Alice.
Jiang Cheng and Alice got into the car. Then the driver, bodyguard and Jerry got in the car together. The car immediately started and drove to the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall in the 17th district.
