Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

In the distance, a group of workers dressed in overalls were digging a villa for Huo Wuyi.

Xu Xingguang immediately spotted Xu Zeqing.

He was wearing a uniform sun-protection work outfit, holding a hoe, under the blazing sun, and panting heavily while digging the pool.

Xu Zeqing probably didn’t expect that when Hong Ruhai sent him to Divine Concealment Island, it really was just to do manual labor.

Xu Xingguang couldn’t bear to watch anymore, she turned off the video and asked Huo Wen’an: [Why not use an excavator, save time and effort.]

Seeing Xu Xingguang’s question, Huo Wen’an chuckled mischievously and said, ”It’s said that handmade creations show sincerity, we only have one precious baby, Fearless, so of course, we must give it the best. Can a pool dug by machines be more meaningful than one dug by hand?”

”Nonsense. Take it easy, don’t wear out the workers.” Glancing at the cruise ship that had securely docked, Jiang Heng disembarked surrounded by several bodyguards, Xu Xingguang told Huo Wen’an, ”I have something to attend to, I’ll hang up now.”

”Alright, talk later.”

Just as Huo Wen’an was about to hang up the video, he suddenly heard someone from Xu Xingguang’s side excitedly say, ”Mr. Jiang, what brings you, such a busy person, here today?”

Mr. Jiang?

In West Continent City, the only person who could be respectfully addressed as Mr. Jiang, besides Jiang Heng, was unlikely anyone else.

”Jiang Heng is here?”

Suddenly hearing Huo Wen’an’s voice, Xu Xingguang realized the video was still on. She nodded, raised her phone, switched to the rear camera, and pointed it at the filming site outside.

Huo Wen’an saw Director Zhen and the producer leading the male and female leads to greet Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng, dressed in a charcoal gray suit, was surrounded by them, like the stars encircling the moon.

”What’s he doing on the island?” Huo Wen’an was somewhat worried about Xu Xingguang’s situation, ”Is he here to cause trouble for you?”

”Not necessarily.”

Xu Xingguang hadn’t yet told Huo Wen’an about the matter between Bai Xuan and Sister Bai Xi.

To reassure Huo Wen’an, Xu Xingguang softly told him, ”He should be here looking for Cheng Xizhou’s assistant Bai Xi. I’ll explain later; it’s a long story.”

Seeing that Xu Xingguang wasn’t concerned about Jiang Heng’s presence, Huo Wen’an relaxed a bit. ”Let me know if you encounter any trouble.” The Jiang Family wasn’t significant enough to warrant his concern.

”I understand.”

Xu Xingguang hung up the video call and sat leisurely on a stool under the canopy, watching Zhen Wang and others chat with Jiang Heng with smiles.

Zhen Wang didn’t smoke, but knowing Jiang Heng was coming, he had asked Fang Jinsu for an outrageously expensive pack of cigarettes in advance.

Zhen Wang personally handed Jiang Heng a cigarette and then proactively took out a lighter, preparing to light it for him.

Jiang Heng waved his hand, saying, ”No smoking, there are ladies present.”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Wang subtly sighed in relief.

Hearing Jiang Heng’s words, Cheng Xizhou rolled her eyes internally but showed no expression outwardly.

Hypocrite.

Fang Jinsu and a group of lead actors proactively introduced themselves to Jiang Heng.

Fang Jinsu said, ”Chairman Jiang, hello, I’m Fang Jinsu, we’ve met once in Liang Yucheng. I wonder if Chairman Jiang remembers?”

Jiang Heng had already investigated the entire crew’s staff and knew Fang Jinsu was the son of the Fang Family in Liang Yucheng.

Although the Fang Family’s heritage wasn’t as deep as the Jiang Family’s, it was considered a big family in Liang Yucheng. More importantly, Fang Jinsu’s grandfather was a Ying Family member, and they were intricately connected to the Ying Family.

”Mr. Fang is a famous artist, of course, I remember you.” Jiang Heng’s attitude was quite friendly, not as unapproachable as rumored.

After the male lead introduced himself, it was the female lead’s turn.

Suppressing her disdain, Cheng Xizhou lightly smiled and introduced herself to Jiang Heng, ”Mr. Jiang, hello, I’m Cheng Xizhou, the female lead of this film.”

Cheng Xizhou didn’t expect Jiang Heng would pay attention to her, but Jiang Heng smiled kindly at her and, in front of the entire crew, said to Cheng Xizhou, ”I remember you are the youngest daughter of the West Zhou Nanhe District Cheng Family. I was classmates with your brother. During high school, you came to our class looking for your brother several times.”

Seeing Jiang Heng accurately mention her family background, Cheng Xizhou was a bit surprised but didn’t feel flattered.

Even though Jiang Heng had a stern and aloof appearance yet charming enough to steal many girls’ hearts, Cheng Xizhou, due to preconceived bias, felt no interest in Jiang Heng.

He’s just a scoundrel.

To save his little lover, he can unscrupulously plot against an innocent young girl.
