"X-ray Vision?"
Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly. "I haven't reached that level yet, but if I focus all the energy in my body to the point between my eyebrows, I have a fifty percent chance of achieving X-ray Vision for three seconds."
Upon hearing this, Xue Gui sucked in a sharp breath.
This legendary ability, X-ray Vision, was sothing only recorded in the annals of Ancient Martial Arts. To think it actually existed!
"Of course, there's only a fifty percent chance of success, and it's ntally and physically draining, so I hardly ever use it," Jiang Xinghai said.
'That's still outrageously powerful,' Xue Gui thought, still reeling in shock.
"When we get back, I'll help you remove the remaining shrapnel. Not only will you be able to get married and have children of your own, but it will also ensure your Dantian isn't corroded by the fragnts," Jiang Xinghai said reassuringly, then started the car and drove off.
On the way, Xue Gui was overco with emotion.
Jiang Xinghai's place in his heart grew more and more significant.
「Half an hour later.」
The two arrived at the Shen Group.
"Are those... flowers?"
Jiang Xinghai saw that the open area between the Shen Group's main gate and the building was filled with flowers!
"It's... a heart shape made of roses," Xue Gui noted, having seen it as well.
"Minister Jiang, Director Xue."
The security guard at the gate was Liu Jing—the sa guy who had once sworn to livestream himself eating shit—and he imdiately pressed the button on the remote for the gate.
"Liu Jing, who set up the flowers?" Jiang Xinghai asked.
"Reporting to Minister Jiang, it was a Mr. Ma Long. President Shen allowed him in, but after he entered, he spent over an hour arranging roses. It seems to be a declaration of his love for President Shen," Liu Jing said all in one breath.
'That Ma Long guy.'
Jiang Xinghai, of course, rembered Ma Long.
Last night, after he had dinner with Shen Lingxue at the First-grade Pavilion, they had a confrontation with so underground figures at a KTV, and he was the one who ultimately rescued them.
Besides, when he and Ma Long parted ways last night, the guy had said he would co to the company today to find Shen Lingxue.
Not only did he actually show up, but he also pulled a stunt like this.
"Minister Jiang, should I go up and throw this person out?"
Xue Gui had long been won over by Jiang Xinghai's dual mastery of dicine and martial arts. Sensing a flicker of displeasure from Jiang Xinghai, he took the initiative to ask.
"No need."
A peculiar glint flashed in Jiang Xinghai's eyes. "Xue Gui, continue with the training plan for our security brothers. The assessnt is tomorrow."
"Understood. I'll get right on it." Xue Gui nodded and got out of the car.
"Also, I'll co find you after I have a chat with that Ma Long. The sooner, the better." Jiang Xinghai, of course, hadn't forgotten his promise to help Xue Gui remove the remaining shrapnel.
Xue Gui's eyes reddened. "Thank you, Minister Jiang."
Jiang Xinghai drove off, and upon reaching the heart-shaped rose display, he rolled right over it.
"Th—"
Xue Gui and Liu Jing stared blankly at the scene, then looked at each other and grinned.
They were very familiar with Jiang Xinghai's way of doing things, after all.
「anwhile, inside the president's office on the ninth floor of the office building.」
The sisters, Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin, had been sorting through docunts at the desk.
Ma Long had arrived a while ago and had been sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.
"Ma Long, what brings you here today?" At that mont, Shen Lingxue looked over.
Ma Long imdiately stood up. "Lingxue, first, go stand by the floor-to-ceiling window and look down at the gift I got for you."
"A gift?" Shen Lingxue gave a speechless smile.
"Let see what gift Ma Long brought. Why so mysterious?" Shen Lingyin pulled Shen Lingxue toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
Ma Long edged closer as well, and the three of them peered down at the sa ti.
"I don't see anything special," Shen Lingyin said, shaking her head in confusion.
Shen Lingxue also scanned the area below. "Are those... scattered and broken flower petals?"
"This is the gift?" Shen Lingyin stuck her tongue out.
"No, I... how could... Oh my god!"
Ma Long's expression was a picture of disbelief as he stared at the petals scattered all over the ground. It looked like there were also two tire tracks.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses!
He had spent over an hour ticulously arranging them, only for soone to drive a car right over them!
"Young Master Ma Long?"
Just then, Jiang Xinghai walked in through the door. He looked at the sisters, Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin, and said, "Darling, it's almost lunchti. I ca up to get you both for a al."
'Darling?'
Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin both froze.
Ma Long looked even more embarrassed.
'Darling?'
'Isn't this Jiang Xinghai just Shen Lingxue's driver?'
'Could he be pursuing Shen Lingyin?'
'That can't be right... Shen Lingxue is only nineteen years old.'
"Brother Xinghai, that was quite a unique way you addressed us. Can you say it again?" Shen Lingyin said, walking over with her eyes narrowed into a smile.
"What way? What did I say?" Jiang Xinghai, however, played dumb.
"Mr. Jiang, could I have a word with you in private?" Ma Long asked, walking over very politely.
Jiang Xinghai nodded. "Of course. But why are you looking at in such a strange way? Let be clear, my sexual orientation is completely normal. Don't get any funny ideas."
"You're joking, Mr. Jiang. This way, please."
Ma Long looked rather embarrassed. He walked outside with Jiang Xinghai and continued, "Mr. Jiang, don't tell you're also pursuing Lingxue?"
"What do you an, *I'm* pursuing *her*? It's obviously her pursuing , okay?" Jiang Xinghai said with a completely straight face.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Long was dumbstruck, completely frozen on the spot.
