I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2375 - 1504: Love Me, Love My Dog (Part 2)

The passage of time was incredibly swift.

"Why did she head to Paris?"

"She’s there for an internship at K.E Headquarters."

A sudden realization dawned on Jiang Chen, leading him to inquire, "Did you arrange this?"

"Paris has always been her favorite city. And that perfume from K.E? She even played a part in its development."

Jiang Chen expressed his confusion, "Wasn't she studying art?"

"Does it truly matter?"

Pei Yunxi retorted smoothly.

Jiang Chen shook his head slowly.

Indeed.

It made no real difference.

A person's chosen major and their ultimate career path could diverge completely.

Pei Yunxi herself had never attended a performing arts academy, yet she was achieving remarkable success in the entertainment industry.

"So, what prompted her decision to design perfume?"

"Her reason was that Duanmu possessed a wonderfully alluring scent, and she wished to create something similar."

"..."

Jiang Chen found himself amused, suddenly understanding that the very product he had purchased was her creation.

A young woman, lacking any prior experience, daring to embark on a global product launch.

Such boldness was certainly not common.

"Aren't you being a bit too indulgent?"

"If she possesses genuine interest, why not grant her the opportunity to explore it?"

Jiang Chen was left momentarily speechless.

He recalled the young lady complaining about her sister's strictness, but the reality seemed quite different.

Clearly, she had a sister who doted on her!

However, it did make a certain kind of sense.

The ultimate purpose of hard work was to provide a more comfortable life for one's loved ones.

Everyone in this world strived to carve out a sanctuary, no matter how small, where a cherished individual could find safety and peace.

"But..."

Jiang Chen's lips moved, a thought on the verge of expression, before he ultimately confessed plainly, "That perfume doesn't actually smell like Duanmu's natural scent."

It felt a tad awkward.

Pei Yunxi maintained her composure, replying, "But it still has a pleasant fragrance, wouldn't you agree?"

That was true.

There was no faulting its scent.

It was no surprise that Pei Yunxi had even gifted it to Li Shuru.

He had initially suspected it was a subtle hint directed at him.

He had been overthinking the situation.

It was evident that the gesture was simply to support her sister's endeavor.

"Aren't you concerned she might not return after you've sent her so far away?"

Jiang Chen inquired playfully.

"Her life belongs to her choices."

That was the mark of a truly responsible guardian.

To offer firm guidance during formative years, and to grant freedom once they had matured.

"Having a sister like you is undoubtedly a great fortune for that young lady,"

Jiang Chen stated with genuine sincerity, but then, a sudden thought struck him, and his expression shifted dramatically.

"Call her immediately!"

The abrupt change in his demeanor caught Pei Yunxi off guard. She asked, perplexed, "Why the urgency?"

With no time for explanations, Jiang Chen urged with a grave expression, "Quickly!"

The situation was so bewildering that anyone would struggle to comprehend, and Pei Yunxi was no exception; she simply stared at him, waiting.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. "You call her first; I'll explain everything afterward."

"What should I tell her?"

"Instruct her to come back at once!"

Pei Yunxi's brow furrowed.

"She might be in danger if she remains abroad," Jiang Chen quickly elaborated.

Past experiences served as valuable lessons for future prudence.

The case of Liu Hongzhi was a stark reminder.

Even though his connection to Luo Li’er seemed more tenuous than Liu Hongzhi's ties, it was always wiser to err on the side of caution!

Observing the intense seriousness on his face, Pei Yunxi, though still confused, chose not to probe further. She stood up, retrieved her phone, and dialed her sister's number.

"Sis."

The call connected successfully.

Luo Li’er's voice responded, light and cheerful, betraying no sign of anything amiss.

However, this was quite understandable.

Based on the established relationship dynamics, while not entirely unconnected, their bond was still somewhat distant. Liu Hongzhi's situation was different; Li Shuru was his official girlfriend, recognized by everyone, and tracing the connections back would easily lead to Liu Hongzhi.

Furthermore, their relationship wasn't solely defined by a potential future in-law status.

"...How have things been with you lately?"

As she spoke, Pei Yunxi couldn't resist casting a glance at Jiang Chen, whose anxious expression was palpable.

"I'm doing great. Sis, are you already missing me?"

Luo Li’er chuckled.

"It's not exactly that I miss you."

"Huh?"

Pei Yunxi offered no further explanation. Despite Jiang Chen's seemingly erratic behavior, she decided to comply. She relayed the instruction to her sister, "Book a flight and return immediately."

"Huh?"

The response from the other end was filled with even greater bewilderment, her tone rising noticeably, clearly taken aback.

"Sis, did something happen?"

What had happened?

How could she possibly know?

"We can discuss it once you're back."

"Why?"

Luo Li’er couldn't help but press, "I still have a significant amount of work here. Sis, what's going on?"

Jiang Chen approached, gently taking the phone from Pei Yunxi's hand.

"Cease all current activities immediately and find a location where you feel most secure. Then, send me your coordinates."

"Senior Jiang?"

The surprise in Luo Li’er's voice was unmistakable, and she sounded more lost than before, querying, "You're with my sister?"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

At this critical juncture, Jiang Chen was beyond concern for any potential misunderstandings. He spoke with utmost seriousness, "Proceed to the nearest police station and await further instructions. Someone will be dispatched to meet you and arrange your safe return."

Pei Yunxi observed silently as Jiang Chen issued commands with unwavering confidence, showing no concern for him taking her sister's phone.

"I..."

Luo Li'er's mind was undoubtedly in disarray.

"Do as I say," Jiang Chen instructed with an authoritative tone. Strange, she wondered, where did this confidence stem from, as he was merely a senior to her?

"...Alright."

Surprisingly, Luo Li’er did not argue, likely subdued by the senior’s imposing presence.

"The closest police station, correct?"

"Yes."

"...Where is my sister?" she inquired softly.

"Your sister is with me."

"At your place?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen's sole focus was the young lady's safety, refusing to divert his attention to other matters. "Stop talking and hurry," he urged.

"Understood."

Why such a stern demeanor?

Naturally.

Luo Li’er remained courteous. Despite finding the situation peculiar, she didn't protest, stating, "I'll leave now."

With that, she ended the call.

"What's happening?"

Jiang Chen set down the phone, finally allowing Pei Yunxi to voice her question.

"I've incurred the displeasure of certain influential international figures; it could potentially endanger Li'er," Jiang Chen explained concisely.

Li'er.

He was using a more intimate name for her.

However, as the prospective "brother-in-law," such familiarity was understandable.

Pei Yunxi was aware of his capabilities, recalling an incident in Paris. But...

"What is your relationship with Li'er?"

"What do you mean?"

Initially, Jiang Chen was confused but soon grasped her implication.

"You believe our connection is unknown?"

"Recently, Shuru's brother-in-law, or rather, soon-to-be brother-in-law, faced an attack in New York. While I cannot confirm if Li'er will be targeted, the risk is too significant to ignore."

"And you, do not travel abroad anytime soon."

Observing his rapid-fire explanation, Pei Yunxi responded, "Bodyguards have been arranged for her."

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Insufficient security."

He swiftly retrieved his phone and placed an international call, issuing further instructions.

Indeed.

What could this be called?

This was demonstrating care through association.

A few minutes later, having finalized all arrangements, he put down his phone. "Did she send you her location?"

"How could it be that quick?"

"Inform me the moment she does."

"She can arrange her own travel," Pei Yunxi remarked, still not fully grasping the severity of the situation, or perhaps...

She didn't quite comprehend the methods employed by those at the pinnacle of the global hierarchy.

"Airplanes can crash."

Jiang Chen recalled the tragic Seoul flight incident, a disaster that claimed nearly two hundred lives.

A truly historic aviation catastrophe.

But what did it matter?

It was officially declared a mechanical failure.

Not long ago, less than half a year has passed, yet apart from the victims' families, how many others still remember?

This world is truly absurd.

The disparity between individuals is as immense as the chasm between humans and ants.

"I have already arranged for a private charter."

His attentiveness surpassed even that of a blood sister.

"Inquire about her current whereabouts."

Attention to detail reveals true character.

His profound concern for his sister-in-law surely made Pei Yunxi appreciate that she had found the right person to trust.
