"You might just be right!"
Shen Zhengye agreed with Jiang Xinghai, but his expression remained heavy with worry.
"You should be happy, Uncle. Why do you still look so worried?" Jiang Xinghai asked, puzzled.
"There's sothing I can't help but worry about."
Shen Zhengye took a deep breath. "Last night, with your help, the Shen Family absorbed over a billion in funds and all the industries under the Wang Family. Doesn't that indirectly tell the world that the Shen Family was behind the Wang Family's destruction?"
"You don't need to worry, Uncle. With here, the Shen Family will be safe."
Jiang Xinghai had actually already considered this. Besides, he was already planning to stay with the Shen Family for a while.
After all, his parents had promised the Shen Family a great boon five years ago. 'It's up to , their son, to fulfill that promise.'
"Good!"
Of course, Shen Zhengye had been thinking the sa thing.
He had witnessed Jiang Xinghai's unbelievable abilities last night!
'Perhaps Jiang Xinghai was the only one who could protect the Shen Family!'
"Besides, after what happened to the Wang Family, I doubt anyone will be foolish enough to cause trouble for the Shen Family anyti soon. Even if the mastermind really is that mysterious old man, given how secretive he is, he won't reveal himself so easily."
Jiang Xinghai said with great foresight, "They'll just be watching and waiting for now. You should use this ti to resu your cultivation, Uncle. I'll give you a Martial Arts secret manual later. I'm confident you'll have no trouble quickly restoring your cultivation to the Grandmaster level."
'He would pick a Cultivation Skill that suited Shen Zhengye's constitution.'
"Xinghai, this Martial Arts secret manual you're talking about... don't tell it's for Ancient Martial Arts..."
"Exactly." Jiang Xinghai smiled.
HISS!
Shen Zhengye stared at Jiang Xinghai in disbelief, drawing in a series of sharp breaths.
'An Ancient Martial Secret Manual!'
'It was because of an Ancient Martial Secret Manual that Jiang Xinghai's parents had been imperiled five years ago!'
And now Jiang Xinghai was offering to give him one. How could he not be stunned?
"Xinghai, good news!"
Just then, Shen Lingxue's head poked out from a second-floor balcony window. "I got in touch with Su Yanyun, and I set up a eting with her for three o'clock this afternoon! Let's eat lunch, and I'll go with you to see her afterward."
"That's great!"
Jiang Xinghai couldn't help but clench his fists.
'If I can just talk to Su Yanyun in-depth about what happened back then, I might be able to uncover more clues!'
He looked up at Shen Lingxue and grinned foolishly. 'When a woman that beautiful smiled, it was like a breath of fresh spring air!'
「Soon.」
After lunch, Jiang Xinghai found a pen and paper. Over the next half hour, he wrote out an entire Ancient Martial Secret Manual from mory.
"Eight Extres Collapse!"
Shen Zhengye stared blankly at the Ancient Martial Secret Manual Jiang Xinghai had given him, gulping hard.
He was utterly convinced after reading just the first page.
This *Eight Extres Collapse* was no ordinary technique one could find on the market; it was a complete manual, including the Heart Skill!
"Uncle, from now on, let Lingxue handle the external affairs. I'll help her. You should stay here and focus on your cultivation for a while," Jiang Xinghai suggested.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
Shen Zhengye reverently caressed the *Eight Extres Collapse* manual, then gently patted Jiang Xinghai's shoulders. "With you here, I can finally rest easy."
He wasn't worried about his own safety.
He had two Grandmasters protecting him from the shadows.
His biggest worry was his daughter, Shen Lingxue.
But now that Jiang Xinghai was here to look after her, he was completely at ease!
「Two-thirty in the afternoon.」
Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingxue drove to South City.
The two of them walked toward a shop called the "Ladies' Exclusive AM Wellness Center."
RING RING RING...
Shen Lingxue's phone suddenly rang.
'Damn, don't tell Su Yanyun is bailing at the last minute?'
Shen Lingxue quickly checked the caller ID and sighed in relief. "It's not her. It's a call from the company's finance departnt."
After she answered, the head of the finance departnt sounded anxious. "President Shen, with the massive overnight injection of capital, all the departntal funds are on hold waiting for your signature..."
"That was my oversight."
Realization dawned on Shen Lingxue, and she glanced instinctively at Jiang Xinghai.
"Go on and take care of it. I'll be fine on my own," Jiang Xinghai whispered.
Shen Lingxue nodded apologetically, then spoke into the phone, "Okay, I'm on my way."
"I'm sorry, Xinghai. Just tell her you're the doctor I recomnded, and Su Yanyun will see you. Whether you can get the clues you need from her is all up to you now." With that, Shen Lingxue rushed off.
'Doctor? All up to ?' Jiang Xinghai muttered to himself.
It was true he was a doctor of traditional Chinese dicine.
But he hadn't realized that Su Yanyun had agreed to the eting because he was a doctor.
When Jiang Xinghai reached the entrance of the AM Wellness Center, he was t with a conspicuous sign—LADIES' THERAPY, N STAY OUT!
"May I have your na, sir?"
A female attendant pushed the door open and asked with a smile.
"Jiang Xinghai."
"Ah, so you're Dr. Jiang. Yanyun said that when you arrived, you should go directly to the Body-Sculpting VIP Room 1 on the third floor. She's waiting for you." The attendant then respectfully ushered Jiang Xinghai into the wellness center.
