Chapter 39: Mr. Bo Is Brother Wu’s Scapegoat

Translator: Ashley_Choi

When Bo Qichen left the HT club, Shen Wu had already left.

Jiang Runian called Bo Qichen using a video call, and when he saw the injury on Bo Qichen’s lips, he was stunned. “What the hell, Qichen! Did you get beaten up? That little girl can even fight?”

Not only did he get beaten up, but he also spent a fortune. That little girl is really vicious, the drinks alone in the private room cost over 400,000 yuan!

“Qichen, I really can’t figure you out. You’re interested in her, but you won’t admit it. If you’re not interested in her, then what are you doing??” Jiang Runian couldn’t understand him.

Bo Qichen opened the car door and got in. He looked at himself on his phone and touched his lips.

Hiss… it hurt.

That punch was really brutal.

“Where did you get beaten up?” Jiang Runian asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.

“Jiang Jue’s club.” Bo Qichen replied coldly.

Jiang Runian: “What? Jiang Jue’s club?”

Jiang Jue was the younger brother of Jiang Runian’s second uncle.

“Do you need me for something?”

Bo Qichen looked at his injuries on the video call for a while before turning his attention to Jiang Runian.

Jiang Runian felt embarrassed.

“My grandfather has acquired a very rare medicinal herb. Do you want to come and see it together?” Jiang Runian asked.

Bo Qichen squinted. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take it for myself?”

“Haha, do you think you can snatch a treasure from my grandfather?” Jiang Runian replied.

Bo Qichen raised an eyebrow, his face relaxed. “You never know.”

“Alright, we’ll go to my grandfather’s place then.”

Bo Qichen ended the call with a nod and couldn’t help but notice his conversation with Shen Wu, who always asked him to pay her back for the money she spent. They had been friends for days, but it seemed like their entire conversation revolved around this transfer.

Bo Qichen lazily smiled and sent a message to Shen Wu, “Let’s have dinner together sometime.”

..

At the Jiang family’s ancestral home, Bo Qichen and Jiang Runian arrived together.

“Are you okay?” Jiang Runian asked, wincing at the sight of Bo Qichen’s injury. “I’ll have our doctor look at you when we get home.”

Bo Qichen shook his head and followed Jiang Runian into the mansion. In the old mansion, the old man was discussing the recent top 100 companies with a few gentlemen, “The Wei family suddenly collapsed. What do you all think about this?”

“It was indeed too sudden. We made inquiries, but all we found out was that they had offended someone. We couldn’t uncover anything else. However, I believe that someone who acts with such decisiveness and swiftness may have a connection with the heir of the Bo family.”

Bo Qichen had originally intended to listen at the door with Jiang Runian, but he ended up being the topic of discussion.

Why were they dragging him into this matter?

Jiang Runian went as far as to ask him, “I’ve never discussed the Wei family’s collapse with you. Could it really be you?”

Bo Qichen replied, “Do I have nothing better to do?”

“Yeah, you won’t get beaten up if you have nothing better to do, right?” Jiang Runian pointed to Bo Qichen’s injured mouth.

Bo Qichen gave Jiang Runian a cold glance, and Jiang Runian smiled, “But I think many people now believe that you are the mastermind.”

“If you’re not the mastermind, then you have become a scapegoat.”

“Tsk, everyone will fear you more in the future.”

Bo Qichen remained silent and narrowed his eyes. He would bear this blame for the time being, but he was determined to uncover the true culprit who framed him and make them pay for their actions.

“Grandpa.” Jiang Runian said.

Bo Qichen also called out, ” Grandpa Jiang. ”

The old man and the other gentlemen simultaneously turned their heads to see Bo Qichen and Jiang Runian. Their faces were filled with smiles and respect.

Bo Qichen and Jiang Runian were the two youngest sons of the family, and they were known everywhere they went.

Even some seniors were filled with respect when they saw the two of them.

“Grandpa, I heard you’ve obtained a new precious herb. Bo Qichen and I would love to see it and broaden our horizons,” Jiang Runian said with a smile.

The old man gave a solemn nod and proceeded to introduce the rare medicinal herb, “This is a highly prized and scarce medicinal plant known as code name 001. There are only three known specimens of this plant in the world.”
