Chapter 2313 Li Chengze and Jiang Wan reached a preliminary agreement

"I want to shift my business to legitimate channels."

"But the Seven Stars Group will not allow me to do this. Your appearance has brought a ray of light into my dark world."

"If I could have a factory or a group of my own in China, it would be a safety net for my daughter and me in the future."

"When the time comes, we'll find a way to leave the Seven Stars Group and then we can go to China to survive."

Jiang Wan never expected Li Chengze to say these words.

She looked up at Li Chengze in surprise, and saw sincerity and helplessness in his eyes.

At that moment, Jiang Wan seemed to be able to empathize with him; Li Chengze was, after all, a pretty good person.

After his wife's death, he did not seek out other women. At least in her investigation, Li Chengze was a man of integrity who would not casually get involved with other women.

This is extremely rare for someone who is in charge of one of the four major families in H country and holds great power.

He gave all his love to his daughter, and this arrangement is simply to leave her a way out.

Jiang Wan did not answer immediately; she turned to look at Hai Jing, who was sitting silently on the sofa beside her.

Although Haijing is not as good as her in some aspects, Haijing's experience is an advantage.

Moreover, what Jiang Wan needs right now is not someone to make decisions for her, but rather a sense of recognition.

Hai Jing understood what she meant, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "We can give it a try."

Baihu then offered his opinion: "We're walking a tightrope anyway, so instead of killing him now, we might as well give it a try."

Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Chengze, saying, "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you."

Li Chengze breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous; he knew very well how strong these three were.

Even with many bodyguards behind him, it would be difficult for him to kill them unharmed at close range.

If things go wrong, the end result could be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

None of them will leave here alive, and Li Chengze will surely die as well. This is not what he wants to see.

The deal has now been preliminarily agreed upon.

Li Chengze said with a smile, "Now that we are partners, please feel free to ask me for help with anything."

"I want to demonstrate my own value, otherwise I'd be too embarrassed to ask you for help."

Jiang Wan smiled broadly upon hearing this: "I do have something I need your help with."

Li Chengze was somewhat surprised, so Jiang Wan explained about the restaurant incident.

Li Chengze paused for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any connection with that person named Han Mingzhu?"

Jiang Wan remained silent; this disguise could not be revealed.

She replied indifferently, "It has nothing to do with me, because he is my daughter."

Li Chengze stared in shock.

In fact, what Jiang Wan said was true. She was now impersonating Rose. Rose was indeed Jiang Wan's mother, who was also Han Mingzhu's mother.

So there's nothing wrong with that.

She was simply wearing a disguise to impersonate Rose.

Li Chengze rubbed his temples, feeling a bit like something out of a fantasy.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Where is she now?"

Jiang Wan said, "She went back to China; she has some things to take care of!"

"If you go to China, you might be able to see her."

Li Chengze thought for a moment and asked, "What does she like?"

Jiang Wan was somewhat surprised and looked at him with confusion, asking, "Why are you asking this?"

“My daughter got married. The young man named Jin Liancheng who was with her is my daughter’s husband, and also my son-in-law.”

"So don't even think about making a move on my daughter."

Li Chengze relaxed a bit this time.

He was originally worried that Rose might like Jin Liancheng, that young and handsome guy.

Now that he heard her say that he was her son-in-law, he was no longer worried.

Li Chengze smiled and leaned closer, whispering, "No matter what, Han Mingzhu is still my daughter, isn't she!"

Rose glared at her: "Don't try to get close to me. That's my daughter, not yours. I never agreed to be with you."

Seeing her panic, Li Chengze hurriedly denied it: "It's alright, it's only a matter of time!"

Rose slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, our cooperation will be terminated."

Seeing that Rose was really angry, Li Chengze quickly shook his head and said, "Okay, I won't joke anymore. I just want to try to please Han Mingzhu and get her to help me."

"Mothers are often more likely to accept what their daughters say."

“She likes me. As her mother, you'll definitely tip the scales of your affections in my favor, and maybe I'll get what I want.”

Rose glanced at him sideways and asked, "What if I never like you in my entire life?"

Li Chengze said, "Then I will pursue you for the rest of my life. Before I met you, I had no plans to get married again, but after I met you, all I think about every day is remarrying, and that person can only be you."

Jiang Wan sighed and said, "I will never like you in my life. I like someone else. Don't waste your time on me."

Li Chengze was somewhat hurt and hurriedly asked, "Who do you like?"

"Is he one of the bodyguards who are with you?"

Tell me, and I'll go find him and see who's better.

Jiang Wan rubbed her forehead and said, "We'll talk about those things later."

"I have something to do right now and need to go back to China. I don't think the Seven Star Group has anyone following me!"

Li Chengze said somewhat aggrievedly, "There really is someone; it was the old man who sent someone to follow them."

Jiang Wan asked, puzzled, "Does Li Xingchen not believe my identity?"

Li Chengze shook his head and said, "No, the old man no longer doubts your identity."

"The reason he sent someone to follow you is because he was worried that you would negotiate with the other three major families."

"The four major families are now facing a reshuffle, and the old man is just taking precautions."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, the old man won't let you leave H country until you sign the cooperation agreement with the Seven Stars Group."

Jiang Wan retorted angrily, "What is this, robbery?"

"They even force people to buy or sell."

Li Chengze coughed awkwardly: "I still suggest you try to resolve this with the old man, at least so that things don't get too bad."

“Otherwise, even if you go back to China, your factory will still be here. If the old man wants to do something underhanded for you.”

"You are too far away to help."

"Although I can help you keep an eye on things by cooperating with you, if the old man orders me to leave it alone, I'm really out of options."

"I can't confront him openly."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Wait a minute, since Jin Liancheng is already married, and to your daughter no less, what about my daughter?"

Li Chengze finally realized the importance of the problem.

He knew all too well how much his daughter liked Kim Yeon-sung.

Jiang Wan paused for a moment and said, "I think it would be good to send your daughter to China so she can meet some outstanding and handsome men. Maybe she'll fall for someone else and develop feelings for someone else."
