"He's that strong?"
Cheng Zhipeng's mouth twitched.
He looked at the miserable state of his younger brother, Cheng Zhicheng, and nodded. "From your injuries, I can tell he is indeed very strong. But so what? The Cheng Family is about to beco a First-class Clan. How can we allow Jiang Xinghai to run rampant in our ho?!"
"Brother, you absolutely cannot let your guard down..." Cheng Zhicheng's body couldn't take it anymore. He passed out before he could finish.
"Second Uncle!"
Just then, Cheng Jiahao, who had arrived in a wheelchair, cried out in alarm, "Dad, Second Uncle, he's..."
"He went to get revenge for you, but ended up being severely injured instead," Cheng Zhipeng said, his face devoid of expression.
"Second Uncle was just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster, yet he was still severely injured by that Jiang Xinghai?"
Cheng Jiahao's face paled. He would never forget the mont Jiang Xinghai had sent him flying out the door with a single kick.
"n!"
Cheng Zhipeng made a decisive call. "Open the main gate and welco Jiang Xinghai. I'd like to see just what he's made of."
Although he had only recently entered the Grandmaster Realm, that level of strength was practically the ceiling in Jizhou!
Even if Jiang Xinghai had the power to severely injure his brother, he was still confident.
After all, in the path of Martial Arts, every breakthrough to a new realm of power was exceptionally difficult.
He absolutely refused to believe that a young man could escape from a Grandmaster like himself.
「Nine o'clock at night.」
「Outside the First-grade Pavilion.」
"Mr. Jiang, about the Cheng Family...?" Qu Xiangrui prompted.
"Boss Qu, could I trouble you to take Miss Su ho?" Jiang Xinghai replied with a smile, ignoring the question.
"No problem." Qu Xiangrui nodded thoughtfully.
"Xinghai, I want to stay with you," Su Yanyun said, shaking her head.
Jiang Xinghai also shook his head. "Miss Su, you should go ho and get your mind right. It's ti to prepare for your costics company."
A flicker of disappointnt crossed Su Yanyun's eyes. "Alright then. Tomorrow... rember you're supposed to work part-ti at my wellness center. I have an important client who's been wanting to lose weight. If she can get your treatnt, I'm sure it will be effective in no ti."
"I'll make ti to go."
Jiang Xinghai had promised her he would work part-ti, and he couldn't go back on his word.
However, he had no idea that the "important client" Su Yanyun ntioned was none other than Cai Xiujuan, the wealthy woman from the jewelry store who had flirted with him earlier today.
"Lingxue, I'll take you ho first," Jiang Xinghai said, pointing toward the parking lot.
"I didn't drink tonight, so I don't need you to take ," Shen Lingxue said, shrugging him off and heading straight for the parking lot.
Now that Su Yanyun had left, there was no need for her to pretend to be so intimate with Jiang Xinghai.
"Lingxue..."
Jiang Xinghai watched Shen Lingxue's retreating figure and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
'A woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea.'
'He could never figure out what was truly on Shen Lingxue's mind.'
Despite his thoughts, he still chased after her. "Lingxue, tonight I..."
"Divine Doctor Jiang, you don't need to report your evening plans to , do you?" Shen Lingxue said without breaking her stride.
Jiang Xinghai was rendered speechless by her retort.
"Co on. I'll drive you to the Cheng Family's estate."
Just then, Shen Lingxue opened the car door and shot Jiang Xinghai a look over her shoulder.
"You knew I was going to the Cheng Family?" Jiang Xinghai chuckled as he got into the car.
Shen Lingxue was a smart woman; of course she could guess that Jiang Xinghai wouldn't let the Cheng Family off the hook.
「A dozen or so minutes later.」
「Outside the Cheng Family's estate.」
"Lingxue, you should head ho now. I have to make a trip to Jishan Hall later, so I might be back very late. Don't wait up for ; you can go to sleep first," Jiang Xinghai instructed her seriously.
"Wait."
Shen Lingxue caught him off guard and pinched his ear. "I don't care where you go, but are you saying you're planning to stay at my place tonight?"
"Where else would I go?"
Jiang Xinghai didn't feel any pain in his ear. Instead, he smiled with a look of enjoynt. "Since I ca to Jizhou, besides the company dorm, I haven't had a proper place to stay. If you don't take in, I can always go back to the company."
Shen Lingxue hesitated. "It's not that you can't stay at my place, but you'd better keep a proper distance from at ho."
"You can rest assured on that point. No matter how much of a scoundrel I am, I wouldn't be disrespectful to you in front of Uncle Shen," Jiang Xinghai readily promised.
"You have the nerve to say that? Does that an you can be disrespectful to when my dad isn't ho?"
Thinking of the incident, Shen Lingxue's face flushed crimson. "What happened between us was limited to that one night. Don't even think about taking advantage of again."
"But then how am I supposed to help you with your ointnt?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinghai felt a pang of regret. He put on a pitiful look and said, "I was planning to help apply the ointnt for your... asshole... when we got back tonight. With hemorrhoids, the longer you wait, the worse it gets. It could beco much more severe."
"My asshole..."
Shen Lingxue lowered her head at his words, blushing furiously once more.
"I've been busy with other things these past two days and completely forgot to help you with the ointnt. I apologize."
Jiang Xinghai said with an apologetic look, "You go ho first. When I get back, I'll personally help you clean the affected area. I promise I'll apply the ointnt for you on ti for the next three days and save you from this unspeakable suffering."
