"Let's go."
Jiang Xinghai stepped into the red BMW.
Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun got into the car one after another.
"Lingxue, I'll co see you at your company tomorrow to make up for tonight."
Ma Long leaned down by the car window, reiterating his promise to make it up to Shen Lingxue.
"Alright."
Shen Lingxue gave a sweet smile, shooting a sideways glance at Jiang Xinghai.
She was doing it on purpose for Jiang Xinghai to see.
But Jiang Xinghai's expression remained calm. He showed no reaction, simply stepping on the gas and speeding away.
'This guy!'
Shen Lingxue turned her head to look out the window.
On the way, Jiang Xinghai asked, "Yanyun, did you get the agreent with Su Yani sorted out?"
Su Yanyun, sitting in the back seat, nodded. "Yes, it's all taken care of."
The ntion of it made her especially grateful for Jiang Xinghai's help.
"Then you and Lingxue should discuss the costics company next." Jiang Xinghai's gaze finally fell upon Shen Lingxue.
Shen Lingxue was still looking out the window at the night scenery, seemingly not having heard their conversation.
"Lingxue, I'll co to your company to see you tomorrow," Su Yanyun said, patting Shen Lingxue's shoulder.
"Sure, it's about ti we talked about setting up the costics company," Shen Lingxue replied, snapping out of it.
The three of them chatted and soon arrived at Su Yani's residence.
Afterwards, Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingxue drove back to the Shen Family estate in silence.
"Today's the last day. I'll have to trouble you to help with my dicine one more ti."
Shen Lingxue turned and started up the stairs. "I'm going to take a shower first. You can co over in ten minutes. I'll leave the door unlocked for you."
"Alright."
Jiang Xinghai watched Shen Lingxue go up the stairs.
It wasn't that he had suddenly beco cold toward Shen Lingxue.
It was that he needed to pick up the pace and find Mr. Long!
And the exact location of his parents.
But in the past few days, since his Third Senior Sister arrived in the Imperial City, there had been no news from her.
So, he now wanted to cast aside these romantic feelings and free up ti to find another opportunity.
For example, Mountain Opening Tiger and Wind Leopard from the underworld.
Previously, he had been drinking and chatting with Qu Xiangrui in the ergency exit of the First-grade Pavilion, and the topic was the Mu Family and the Wanyan Family.
Both of these were branch families that had migrated from a large clan in the Central State thirty years ago.
And the Patriarch of the Mu Family, Mu Zongkun, was none other than the current big boss of the underworld, Mountain Opening Tiger!
That was why he hadn't agreed when Ma Long wanted to launch a crackdown on the underworld tonight.
As for the Wanyan Clan, they were based in the mariti shipping industry and rarely got involved in urban businesses.
Even Qu Xiangrui knew very little about them.
"Jiang, you're back."
Just then, Shen Zhengye, dressed in pajamas, ca down from the second floor, looking particularly pleased.
After coming downstairs, he excitedly grabbed Jiang Xinghai's hand. "Ah, Jiang, that Chinese dicine prescription you wrote and those supplents you bought... I took them just as you said, and just like you predicted, I've really recovered my forr vigor..."
"Congratulations on getting your wish, Uncle," Jiang Xinghai smiled.
"Hehe, your aunt was very satisfied. She insisted on keeping going, so I ca out for a smoke and a break. Otherwise, even a healthy body can't take it."
Shen Zhengye was quite happy. He patted Jiang Xinghai's shoulder aningfully. "And you? Where did you and Lingxue go tonight?"
"We just had a simple al and so drinks out," Jiang Xinghai explained briefly.
"I see. And you're right, Mountain Opening Tiger is indeed the Mu Family Patriarch, Mu Zongkun."
Shen Zhengye's gaze turned a little grave. "As for the Wanyan Family... wait until tomorrow. I'll organize everything I know and give it to you, alright?"
"That would be great," Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.
"Regarding the matter of the He Family, the dical and Martial Family from the Central State, how confident are you?" Shen Zhengye's expression grew even more solemn.
"Completely," Jiang Xinghai stated without boasting.
Shen Zhengye sucked in a sharp breath, then took a hard drag on his cigarette. "I believe you have the ability. If you need to do anything, just say the word. Even if it ans sacrificing everything the Shen Family has, I won't hesitate."
He knew full well that the Shen Family was on the verge of becoming a First-class Clan. It was practically a sure thing, and everything they had now was thanks to Jiang Xinghai.
"You're too kind, Uncle."
Jiang Xinghai smiled. "You just need to focus on your cultivation as quickly as possible, stabilize the Shen Family's position, and spend more ti with Auntie. You can leave the rest to ."
"Oh no, your aunt told to be back within five minutes."
Shen Zhengye was about to leave, but then he added, "By the way, Lingxue is extrely career-driven, but I can see the budding affection in her eyes when she looks at you. You could be a little more proactive, you know."
"I understand."
Jiang Xinghai watched Shen Zhengye head upstairs, then called out a reminder, "Uncle, a little is good for the spirit, but too much will harm the body. You have to know your limits. Don't stay up all night."
"I know, I know..."
Shen Zhengye's embarrassed laughter echoed from the second floor.
Jiang Xinghai also got up and walked toward Shen Lingxue's bedroom.
The door was ajar.
He gently pushed the door open and went inside. "Lingxue, I'm here to help you with the dicine."
"Hurry and close the door," ca Shen Lingxue's soft, alluring voice.
Jiang Xinghai closed the door behind him, but when he turned around, he saw Shen Lingxue lying completely naked on the soft, large bed, waiting for him!
