Hello, Welcome to Merit Supermarket (SUPERMARKET)
Zhao Jiamin's request to meet wasn't just an excuse; she still remembered to invite him for a meal.
When Jiang Chenyi arrived at the destination, Xiao Rui and Zhao Jiamin were already waiting for him.
"Brother Little Jiang!" Xiao Rui was especially excited to see Jiang Chenyi.
Although she was young, she understood that if it weren't for Jiang Chenyi, she and her mother might never have escaped her father's abuse.
Seeing the little girl running towards him, Jiang Chenyi slightly bent his knees and upon catching her, lifted her high into the air.
"Ha ha ha ha!" The child's clear and melodious laughter echoed across the open space.
Zhao Jiamin was surprised to see Jiang Chenyi alone: "Didn't you say you were going to Sister Miaomiao's house? They didn't come with you?"
It wasn't that she wanted to see them, but she felt that Zhang Miaomiao and her husband wouldn't miss the chance to gather with Jiang Chenyi.
At this point, Jiang Chenyi felt a slight warmth on his face.
"Ahem, they have important matters to attend to."
They were busy making babies, and he, an outsider, shouldn't disturb them.
"Oh, I see." Zhao Jiamin wasn't particularly concerned.
For her, today's banquet was mainly to thank Jiang Chenyi, and whether the couple was there or not didn't matter.
Zhao Jiamin led them into the restaurant.
After the waiter closed the private room door, Zhao Jiamin finally removed her mask and slowly exhaled.
"Thank you so much for your help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do now." Zhao Jiamin's eyes were somewhat dazed.
After handling all her affairs and recalling her past experiences, she suddenly realized that she had almost taken the wrong path.
As Jiang Chenyi had said before, even if she could kill Zhou Wei and President Lu, what would happen then?
By then, she would surely be imprisoned, and Xiao Rui would fall into someone else's hands.
Fortunately, she met her savior in this life, who pulled her back from the edge of the cliff.
Xiao Rui was also very sensible and thanked him along with her mother: "Thank you, Brother Little Jiang, for saving my mom and me."
Jiang Chenyi ruffled the little girl's hair and shook his head at Zhao Jiamin, whose eyes were red: "It's all in the past now, don't dwell on it anymore."
'Yes, it's all in the past.'
Zhao Jiamin suddenly chuckled and brought up another good thing: "Thanks to you, this bracelet helped me a lot."
Oh? What big event had it caused this time?
Jiang Chenyi perked up his ears to listen to what happened after Zhao Jiamin confronted Zhou Wei.
Since Zhou Wei couldn't sense her presence, after returning to Wangjiang Estate, Zhao Jiamin not only retrieved her belongings but also took some documents.
"Moreover, taking advantage of his inability to see me, I gathered a lot of evidence of his crimes."
Zhao Jiamin's smile grew brighter: "When he saw the documents floating in mid-air, that scoundrel was so scared he almost wet his pants."
That afternoon, she handed all the evidence and documents over to the police.
"Now his company should be sealed off, and in a while, we'll see him in prison." Zhao Jiamin laughed heartily with her joy evident.
Jiang Chenyi glanced at Xiao Rui and then raised an eyebrow at Zhao Jiamin.
The other party immediately understood his meaning: "I've already talked to Xiao Rui, and she also thinks I did the right thing."
This little girl’s personality leans more toward Zhao Jiamin, which is a good thing.
When it came to Zhou Wei, a hint of hesitation appeared on Zhao Jiamin’s face. She actually wanted to know if President Lu had gone to cause trouble for Jiang Chenyi.
The way he had looked at Jiang Chenyi back then… was not good.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Chenyi noticed her hesitant expression and could tell she had something on her mind.
Zhao Jiamin hesitated for a moment but eventually voiced her concerns.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jiang Chenyi’s hearty laughter: "Ha! Him? Don’t worry, he’s too busy to cause trouble now. He’ll probably be in jail with Zhou Wei soon."
Zhao Jiamin: ???
Jiang Chenyi smiled as he recounted the incident when President Lu had come to stir up trouble. "I cleared his debt. Unless he makes up for it, he’ll be constantly burned by fire. He won’t die, but as long as he lives, he’ll suffer from the burning every day."
The reason he mentioned the impending imprisonment was that he needed to face punishment, and the only entity qualified to punish him was the state.
Zhao Jiamin stared at him in astonishment.
So… Merit could be used like that?
"But how does he know he needs to face punishment?"
On this point, Jiang Chenyi’s voice was filled with amusement: "That’s not my concern. I’m only responsible for clearing the debt."
Zhao Jiamin burst out laughing then nodded in agreement: "Indeed, what does it have to do with you? He totally deserves it!"
It would be best if he never found out and continued to endure the pain of being burned by fire.
That way, those he had persecuted would feel a sense of justice.
Upon hearing that both perpetrators would meet a bad end, the gloom between Zhao Jiamin’s brows vanished completely.
"Well done…" She raised her glass and toasted Jiang Chenyi.
After the meal and as they were about to leave, Zhao Jiamin tried to hand him a bank card but unfortunately, he refused again.
Seeing that Zhao Jiamin still wanted to say something, Jiang Chenyi had no choice but to bring up the Luo couple again: "I didn’t take their money, so I certainly can’t take yours."
This left Zhao Jiamin feeling quite helpless.
Jiang Chenyi waved to Xiao Rui and turned to leave with a carefree air.
He had bought a high-speed train ticket an hour later.
As soon as he entered the station, he saw a man in a black trench coat arguing with a security officer. From the sound of it, the man was quite agitated.
Jiang Chenyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
The light around the man in the black trench coat flickered.
Sometimes dim and sometimes bright.
This kind of situation usually only occurred when someone was about to commit an evil act.
He wasn’t too far from the two of them.
When he saw the man’s trench coat shift slightly, Jiang Chenyi suddenly lunged toward him.
At the same time, the man pulled out a knife as long as his arm from inside his coat with his eyes bloodshot as he stabbed toward the security officer.
The security officer hadn’t expected the man to be carrying a weapon, but by then, it was too late to escape.
The distance between them was simply too close.
Just as the knife was about to reach him, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared that struck the blade and caused it to veer off course.
Immediately after, a long arm appeared between the two of them.
Jiang Chenyi forcefully grabbed the man by the neck and pulled him backward causing both of them to fall to the ground.
With a loud thud, the man was knocked to the ground and the sharp knife clattered onto the floor.
The security officer was so startled that he took a step back and only then realized he was drenched in cold sweat after the danger had passed.
"Let me go! Let me go, ahhhh!"
The man was extremely agitated, and if it weren't for Jiang Chenyi's considerable strength, he might not have been able to subdue him.
Seeing that the man was still trying to struggle, Jiang Chenyi's eyes turned cold as he gripped the man's shoulder and pressed down hard.
Instantly, the man was in too much pain to speak as beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the police officers nearby.
Seeing the frightened security officer and the knife on the ground, they immediately guessed what had happened.
While helping Jiang Chenyi restrain the man, one of the officers asked the security officer, "What happened? What exactly is going on?"
By now, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around them and some were already pulling out their phones to record the scene.
To ensure the man wouldn't lash out again, Jiang Chenyi still didn't dare to let go.
After hearing the full story from the security officer, the two police officers promptly took the suspect from Jiang Chenyi's hands.
"Be careful, he's still quite strong." Jiang Chenyi warned.
During the handover, the man thought he saw an opportunity and used all his strength to try to break free from the two officers.
Although the officers were prepared, they hadn't expected the man to be so strong. If Jiang Chenyi hadn't been keeping a close eye, the man might have escaped.
The two officers were also startled.
If he had managed to break free, they would have been in trouble today.
"Thank you, young man. If it weren't for you, things would have been a mess today."
The three of them expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chenyi simultaneously.
After the man was taken away, Jiang Chenyi ignored the crowd behind him and found a quiet corner to wait for the high-speed train.
Once seated, he extended his right hand which held a small glowing orb.
This was the Merit he had received after saving the man.
He fed the orb to the bell and whispered, "I thank you on his behalf. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to save him so quickly."
The bell didn't respond and he didn't hear any thoughts.
At this moment, Jiang Chenyi had no idea that he had gone viral online.
Not only because of the incident with the suspect, but also because he had first appeared in a photo—paparazzi had secretly captured Zhao Jiamin and him entering a restaurant.
#Zhao Jiamin Divorces for New Lover#
#Zhao Jiamin's New Lover Seems to Get Along Well with Her Daughter#
He was labeled by the paparazzi as Zhao Jiamin's new boyfriend, with some speculating that Zhao Jiamin's divorce was due to an affair with him and even suggesting that her daughter Xiao Rui was his child…
When Zhao Jiamin saw the news, her first reaction was extreme anger.
He was the savior of her and her daughter, not some new lover!
She personally took to the keyboard and typing furiously with her main account to debunk the rumors: "He is the savior who saved me and Xiao Rui, not some boyfriend. Paparazzi, stop insulting my savior!!!"
The three exclamation marks were enough to convey her fury.
"And the reason for my divorce is because Zhou Wei was abusive. Don't throw mud at me; he's the scumbag, the bastard!"
The final statement caused quite a stir among her fans, as no one knew she had been enduring domestic violence from Zhou Wei all along.
Her manager might have sensed something was off, but she had been covering it up herself, so the manager was unaware of the abuse.
Zhao Jiamin watched the reactions below and continuously responded to her fans' questions.
At first, however, no one outside her fanbase believed her.
When it came to scandalous news about a female celebrity, the public wasn’t particularly concerned with the truth.
But soon, more influential figures stepped in to clarify the situation.
