Chapter 169 Tang Xu, What Are You Afraid Of?

A fire alarm is a serious matter.

Given Jiang Muchen's status, even if he didn't want to make a move, countless people would advise him to leave because of his identity.

Tang Xu wasn't in a hurry to leave, but unfortunately, Jiang Muchen didn't seem to intend to let her go so easily.

Therefore, Jiang Muchen grabbed her wrist and led her down the stairs to the ground floor.

Because there is a banquet today, many people who have been evacuated from upstairs have gathered outdoors.

Originally, everyone was just looking around to find out where the fire started and what caused it. However, soon, almost everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Muchen and Tang Xu, who was being dragged downstairs by him.

There was no way around it; Jiang Muchen was simply too eye-catching, and given the various things between Tang Xu and the two of them, it was hard for anyone not to notice him.

At the same time, a reporter who rushed over to collect information after receiving the fire alarm spotted the two and immediately pressed the shutter button on Jiang Muchen and Tang Xu.

Despite the chaos, Jiang Muchen was extremely sensitive to cameras and spotted the reporter's camera almost immediately.

Following his gaze, Tan Siyi quickly spotted the reporter and hurriedly stepped forward, blocking the reporter's camera. Immediately afterwards, two bodyguards came forward and together escorted the reporter away.

Seeing this, Tang Xu knew that the reporter's job tonight was doomed, but she still reminded Jiang Muchen: "Mr. Jiang, nowadays everyone has a mobile phone and everyone can take pictures and videos. If you want to avoid it being published, you will probably have to put in a lot more effort. Otherwise, Miss Jiang may still have many opportunities to see it."

She meant well by offering a friendly reminder, but she didn't know which word angered Jiang Muchen. He still held her wrist, forcefully pulling her towards him and glaring at her angrily.

Unfortunately, Tang Xu had a clear conscience, and no matter how much he glared at her, she remained calm and composed.

Her calmness was undoubtedly another form of mockery to Jiang Muchen.

He quickly turned around and pulled Tang Xu towards where his car was parked.

Tang Xu was caught off guard by his sudden action, and since she was no match for his strength, she could only be dragged along by him, stumbling forward.

However, after taking only a few steps, Jiang Muchen suddenly stopped.

Tang Xu raised her eyes and looked at the figures of several men blocking Jiang Muchen's way.

They were all unfamiliar faces, yet they felt strangely familiar to her.

Sure enough, the next moment, the leading man looked past Jiang Muchen and at her, "Miss, do you need any help?"

In Huai City, there is no one who doesn't know Jiang Muchen.

And if you get to know Jiang Muchen, you'll most likely get to know her too.

At this moment, however, they bypassed Jiang Muchen and addressed her with an extremely unfamiliar title, which clearly showed that they were opposed to Jiang Muchen.

Tang Xu noticed it, and Jiang Muchen noticed it even more.

He also had two bodyguards with him, who immediately stood in front of Jiang Muchen upon seeing this.

Jiang Muchen's gaze towards them was only slightly cold, but his gaze towards Tang Xu was extremely icy.

"The people you called?" he asked Tang Xu.

Tang Xu shrugged and answered truthfully, "I don't know them."

"Really?" Jiang Muchen raised his hand and pinched Tang Xu's chin. "Then you must know the person who sent them to protect you, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Tang Xu said candidly.

Jiang Muchen sneered, "You won't admit it? Tang Xu, what are you afraid of?" "What am I afraid of?" Tang Xu retorted, "I'm not even afraid of death, what else is there to fear?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Muchen's eyes, and he turned to look at the group of people confronting his bodyguard.

"Your boss sent you to protect her, didn't he teach you who can block whose path and who can't?"

Faced with Jiang Muchen's imposing presence and aura, the other party did not back down in the slightest. "All I know is that this young lady does not want to go with you. Mr. Jiang, you are a well-known figure, so why make things difficult for this young lady in public?"

Jiang Muchen let out another cold laugh.

The laughter was not fully aloud; it was almost just a hum from inside the nose.

Tang Xu knew that Jiang Muchen was truly angry.

While she was still thinking of a solution, Jiang Muchen's phone suddenly rang.

Unlike the monotonous default ringtone, this ringtone, although also a system-provided one, is a bit gentler.

Tang Xu realized almost immediately who was calling.

As the bell rang, Jiang Muchen's figure stiffened slightly.

The next moment, Jiang Muchen released Tang Xu, took out his phone, and answered the call.

The moment he released his hand, Tang Xu quickly retreated, bumping into several figures behind him before finally getting away from Jiang Muchen.

Jiang Muchen listened to the phone call while coldly watching her gradually blend into the crowd until she disappeared, his face remaining ashen.

Tang Xu did not linger there. He disappeared into the crowd, then left, quickly got into his car, and drove away.

As soon as her car drove away, two more cars silently followed behind her.

In the courtyard of the clubhouse, the crowd was still discussing the matter, but fortunately the clubhouse completed the investigation very quickly.

Finally, the manager announced to everyone that there was no fire, but that someone had broken the alarm, causing the alarm to sound false.

After dealing with the reporter, Tan Siyi went to the manager and tactfully conveyed that Mr. Jiang did not want word to get out that he had been there that evening.

The manager naturally understood what that meant and said he would handle it properly.

Tan Siyi then rushed to the location of Jiang Muchen's car. As soon as she arrived, she heard the bodyguard reporting to Jiang Muchen: "After Madam left, those people drove two cars and escorted her all the way, just like last night."

Therefore, it is highly likely that the false alarm at the club was caused by those few people. The reason is that Tang Xu was taken to the top floor, and they were not allowed to enter. However, in order to ensure Tang Xu's safety, they staged this incident to force Jiang Muchen to take Tang Xu downstairs.

Such skill and decisiveness indicate a highly trained and exceptional bodyguard.

Jiang Muchen raised his eyes and glanced at Tan Siyi.

“I’ll have someone investigate immediately and find out who’s behind them.”

Tan Siyi said this, but deep down he wasn't really sure about such a guarantee.

From the moment Jiang Muchen became convinced that Tang Xu had someone backing her, they began their investigation. However, no matter how hard they investigated, most of the clues pointed to Duan Siwei, and they couldn't find any other leads.

Jiang Muchen was certain that there was someone else behind Duan Siwei, but this person seemed to have vanished without a trace.

This investigation will most likely also fall through like this, but what needs to be investigated will still need to be investigated.

Soon, Jiang Muchen's car also drove away from the club and headed straight for Jiang Wanning's apartment.
