    The water bottle fell to the ground with a clatter. Zhuang Xian slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that there was water in front of her, she reached out with trembling hands, trying with great effort to reach it.


    ¡°I say, big brother, why did you give her water? The other person called and said that someone will come later. This woman must be dealt with ruthlessly!¡±


    The warehouse was very spacious, so it particularly echoed when people were talking.


    Zhuang Xian had already reached the bottle. Her two bloodied hands twitched as she unscrewed the cap. Her body had been dehydrated for a long time, and her throat was so dry that it seemed like it was bleeding.


    ¡°If we don¡¯t give her water, she¡¯ll probably be dead when the person arrives to see her.¡±


    The kidnapper who spoke seemed to be the leader of these people, and his words were quite authoritative.


    It was already the umpteenth nightfall since Zhuang Xian was kidnapped and she had experienced a lot of inhumane torture here.


    There was hardly a single spot on Zhuang Xian¡¯s body that was in good condition. On top of the large patches of bruises, there were also a few terrible wounds that had been caused by whips and daggers. The edges of the wounds had already started to scab over, but the middle part was too big. It was impossible to recover by relying on the human body¡¯s healing ability.


    The kidnapper looked at Zhuang Xian, who was curled up on the ground and pinched his nose in disgust. ¡°This woman¡¯s life is really tough! We¡¯ve been torturing her like this for the past month, but she¡¯s still alive!¡± His tone was full of surprise.


    ¡°In my opinion, those people from the Ye family are horrible! After using her thoroughly, they turned around and refused to acknowledge her anymore. This woman is their biological daughter!¡±


    ¡°Tsk tsk! I heard that the Zhuang couple of Ming En Corporation was forced to jump off a building! City H¡¯s weather changed just like that.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hair was messy and wet with sweat. There were also blood clots that had not dried up. If one looked closely, one would see that her scalp was full of scars. Those were red and swollen from being dragged.


    Under her fringe, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were listless. The tears that slowly fell from the corners of her eyes confirmed that she was still alive.


    All these tragedies happened because of her stupidity. How could she have been so stupid to believe that the Ye family would treat her sincerely? How could she have been so stupid that she didn¡¯t see the good intentions of her parents? She was blinded by a single coverage and was completely deceived and used by the Ye family.


    What do they mean by raising me was not as good as giving birth to me? It was all f*cking bullsh*t.


    How did the Ye family, who birthed her treat her? After they had squeezed out all her usefulness, they had left her here like a pair of old shoes.


    She had already very clearly thought through the whole matter all through these days.


    Her chin was pinched by a strong hand until it hurt. Zhuang Xian finally came back to her senses. When she saw the person in front of her, she was surprised. ¡°Gao Peng?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that big sister¡¯s spirit was so tough! I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re still alive after this level of torture and abuse, Zhuang Xian!¡± Ye Xin looked down at Zhuang Xian as if she was looking at a pile of trash.


    When Zhuang Xian saw the sarcastic smile on Gao Peng¡¯s face, she looked at Ye Xin and suddenly understood everything. This was an incredibly deep trap!


    She chuckled, the corners of her eyes were damp. ¡°You two B*tches were working together to lie to me!¡±


    Gao Peng frowned and looked at her. He slowly retracted his hand and wiped it with a white handkerchief. ¡°When Xinxin told me that you were a two-faced, sinister, and dangerous woman, I didn¡¯t believe her. I didn¡¯t expect ¡­¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were red with anger.


    She now realized suddenly that she had wasted her true feelings on Gao Peng seeing the adulterous couple in front of her, whom she didn¡¯t know when they hooked up,


    ¡°Get lost! You disgust me. ¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her neck. This action caused the wounds on her body to ache. ¡°I won¡¯t let you get away with it even if I become a ghost!¡±


    Ye Xin¡¯s eyes were filled with joy as she looked at Zhuang Xian, who was curled up at her feet like an ant. Her expression twisted as she said, ¡°How is it, sister? Can you use this latest reagent? It¡¯s at the top of the world!¡±


    ¡°No matter how much pain the human body is in, it can block the body¡¯s self-protection mechanism preventing you from falling into a coma. You can stay awake all the time.¡±


    She slowly squatted down. Her posture was graceful, but the words from her mouth were as vicious as the devil¡¯s. ¡°Of course, the dead are the exception.¡±


    ¡°B*tch, you won¡¯t die a good death!¡± Zhuang Xian said as she looked at her.


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t seem scared of Zhuang Xian at all. ¡°I¡¯m a B * tch? Hahaha! No! I¡¯m not, sister, you are. The Zhuang family was so good to you! Didn¡¯t you sell them to us?¡±


    Between killing and exterminating, the latter was the most ruthless.


    Ye Xin was playing with Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart! The only people Zhuang Xian owed in this lifetime were the Zhuang family. She had been muddleheaded her entire life and mistook the Jackal as her family. However, she failed to cherish the people who were truly good to her. If she had another chance at life, she wanted to slave it out for once and repay the Zhuang family.


    Ye Xin watched as Zhuang Xian¡¯s entire being rapidly darkened, as she lost all her color. She smiled in satisfaction.

 Chapter 2

    After a long time, Zhuang Xian finally looked up at them.


    ¡°Karma has its retribution. You won¡¯t have a good time,¡± She said. This sentence was light, but it was like a heavy hammer that struck Gao Peng and Ye Xin¡¯s hearts.


    Gao Peng felt a chill down his spine. When he turned to look at Zhuang Xian again, he found that she was no longer breathing.


    Zhuang Xian was dead. This was supposed to be a ¡®happy ending¡¯, but for some reason, Gao Peng¡¯s heart felt numb. He looked at Ye Xin.


    Ye Xin looked at him. ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Can she turn into a ghost?¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not have the next life, and she did not become a ghost. She had returned to the past, three years before the Zhuang couple adopted her from the orphanage.


    On the night she found out that she was back, Zhuang Xian hugged herself and cried for a long time. Did the heavens pity her and give her a chance to start over?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s small hand wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were shining with determination. This time, she was going to love her parents and her three brothers.


    As for those who had harmed, humiliated, and used her, she would return that favor one by one.


    Three years passed by in a twinkle of an eye. On the day Zhuang Xian turned 16, her parents from the Zhuang family once again appeared in her life.


    ¡°The child is good. Her grades are very good, and she¡¯s very well-behaved!¡± Director Zhang was very good to the children in the Orphanage. She actively persuaded, ¡°Mrs. Zhuang, don¡¯t listen to the nonsense you heard outside. Xian is a good girl. She¡¯s destined to be with you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian sat across from the Zhuang couple and looked at her mother. She had already suppressed the excitement in her heart with great difficulty, and only a few wisps of joy flowed out from her eyes.


    Zhuang Ming loved his wife very much, and at the same time, he knew her very well. When Lin En first saw the child, Zhuang Ming knew that she liked the child.


    ¡°Can I take a look at this child¡¯s information?¡± Zhuang Ming asked.


    Director Zhang quickly handed over Zhuang Xian¡¯s information. ¡°This child was brought to the orphanage when she was about three years old. She has been very obedient at the Orphanage and her grades are very good.¡±


    Linen slowly came back to her senses as director Zhang and Zhuang Ming continued their conversation. For some reason, when she first saw Zhuang Xian, she felt that this child was very good.


    ¡°Are you willing to come home with me?¡± Lin En asked Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s nose was a little sour, and her eyes were slightly red. Under Lin En¡¯s expectant gaze, she slowly nodded her head.


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s actions were very fast. He quickly completed all the adoption procedures. When he returned to the room, Lin En was holding Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. His face was filled with a happy smile. It seemed Mrs. Zhuang liked this girl.


    Zhuang Xian returned to her room and began to pack what little luggage she had. Lin En and Zhuang Ming were still waiting for her in the director¡¯s office.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had placed her most valued chess manual and medical books into the box, Li Qin pursed his lips and asked, ¡°Sister Xian, are you going to the Zhuang family? Didn¡¯t the old man tell you? You can go to his place whenever you want, but what¡¯s so good about the Zhuang family?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around and glanced at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you about this a long time ago?¡±


    ¡°But ¡­ I¡¯m here for you. What am I going to do if you leave?¡± he asked


    ¡°You¡¯ve had enough fun, it¡¯s time for you to go back.¡± Zhuang Xian was unmoved and spoke slowly.


    Li Qin knew that this wouldn¡¯t work on his sister Xian, so he sighed and didn¡¯t say anything. Once Zhuang Xian had decided on something, no one could stop her.


    He could not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s decision. With the elder around, Zhuang Xian could do anything she wanted. Why did she have to be the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter?


    He naturally did not understand.


    The Zhuang family was one of the top families in Country Z. Zhuang Ming was a very smart businessman. In the years that the Zhuang family business had been passed down to him, it could be said that they had taken giant steps forward.


    Zhuang Ming and Lin En had three sons, and all of them were outstanding. However, it had always been Lin En¡¯s wish to have a daughter.


    Today, she had finally achieved her wish.


    On the way back from the orphanage, Lin En kept talking to Zhuang Xian. She exuded the same gentleness and radiance as she did in her previous life.


    Zhuang Xian could feel the warmth of her palm and her eyes were moist.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin En saw that she was not speaking and thought that she still had some concerns. She gently said, ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you can come home with me! Don¡¯t worry, everyone in the family welcomes you. Your eldest brother has been busy with work abroad, and your third brother is still in school. Your second brother is free and is at home now. Let¡¯s have dinner together tonight, and when they both return, we¡¯ll throw you a welcome party, okay?¡±


    Under Lin En¡¯s expectant gaze, Zhuang Xian smiled and nodded her head.


    Lin en clapped her hands as she started planning how to hold a welcome party for Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°Hubby, what do you think of the Imperial Hotel?¡± she asked as she looked at Zhuang Ming.


    Lin En was a very formal person, and Zhuang Ming was happy to cooperate with her. When he heard her question, Zhuang Ming replied with a smile while holding the steering, ¡°Very good, that would be fine!¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t care much about the ceremony, but this was what her mother wanted to give her, so she couldn¡¯t let people with ulterior motives ruin it. It would make Lin En very unhappy.

 Chapter 3

    In her previous life, this welcome party was not held.


    There were people in the Zhuang family who welcomed her. Naturally, there would also be people who were unhappy that she came from a lowly background, but suddenly out of nowhere took the position of the Zhuang family¡¯s lady.


    When the luxurious Bentley drove into the Zhuang family¡¯s courtyard, Zhuang Xian finally snapped out of her reminiscence.


    Lin En held her hand and walked through the Zhuang family¡¯s entrance.


    Zhuang Xian was not a sentimental person, but at this moment, many complicated emotions emerged in her heart.


    Things had remained the same, but people had changed. This home was still the home, but she was no longer the same person.


    She swore to herself that she would live a different life this time.


    ¡°Your room is the innermost room on the second floor. The lighting is very good, so you should like it. Rest for a while before I take you to your room!¡± Lin En said.


    ¡°Yes, thank you!¡± Zhuang Xian nodded.


    Lin En was very meticulous. She had arranged for Zhuang Xian to stay in almost every room, and it seemed like she had put a lot of thought into the decorations of the rooms.


    In the afternoon, Zhuang Ming went back to the company, leaving Lin En and Zhuang Xian at home. The wind blowing in the courtyard felt very comfortable on her face. Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En and listened attentively to her.


    ¡°I heard from the director that you like to draw, is that right?¡± Lin En asked.


    Zhuang Xian nodded her head obediently. It was not as simple as she liked it. She already had a slightly famous studio under her. She could be considered a nouveau riche in the design industry now. The works that were produced by her were very popular.


    Lin En wanted to say something more but was interrupted by the butler, Uncle Chang.


    ¡°Madam, Young lady Jie has come to see you!¡±


    Lin En was a little surprised. ¡°Zhuang Jie? What is she doing here at this time?¡±


    Without waiting for Uncle Chang to answer Lin En¡¯s question, Zhuang Jie walked over to them. ¡°Aunt!¡±


    Lin En smiled at her. ¡°Come quickly!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie, her deep eyes flashing with a dark light. Zhuang Jie still came.


    In her previous life, the day she stepped into the Zhuang family, Zhuang Jie also used the excuse of delivering something to her to test the situation. It was like a ghost that refused to leave!


    The waters at the Zhuang family¡¯s old residence were very deep. The fact that Zhuang Ming and Lin En had an adopted daughter out of the blue, of course, they could not just ignore it.


    Zhuang Jie was a very beautiful girl, but beside Zhuang Xian, she was a little dim.


    Zhuang Xian was born a beauty. Although she was still young and her exquisite facial features were not fully developed, it was not difficult to tell that she would be a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city in the future.


    ¡°What is this?¡± Zhuang Jie asked, pretending to be confused.


    Lin En smiled and took Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. ¡°Xian, this is your older Aunt¡¯s daughter. Her name is Zhuang Jie.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her and suppressed the indignance in her heart. ¡°Hello, Sister.¡±


    ¡°Ah? Who is she, Aunt? How come I didn¡¯t know that there¡¯s a little sister in the house?¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s acting skills were still much more immature compared to her previous life. Although she looked confused, there was an unconcealed disdain in her eyes.


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming were able to build a business group together, so he was naturally not a fool. Zhuang Jie¡¯s cover was all seen by her. ¡°Xian will be mine and your uncle¡¯s precious daughter from now on. You two have to get along well.¡±


    Lin en brushed off her somewhat hostile probing with a single stroke. Since Zhuang Jie had come to check on the situation in such a hurry, she was afraid that her family must have sent her.


    The old family¡¯s hands were reaching out longer and longer.


    Zhuang Xian knew what Zhuang Jie¡¯s sore spot was. Every time it was mentioned, Zhuang Jie would explode. ¡°This sister is calling you Aunt?¡± she asked, puzzled. And her surname is Zhuang, why is that, mom?¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise. She did not expect her precious daughter to call her ¡®mom¡¯ so quickly.


    She was excited. ¡°Oh, this! In the beginning, she conformed to her father¡¯s surname and was called Zhang Jie, but your aunt said that she had always been in poor health, so she especially looked for a master to read her fortune. The surname of the Zhuang family is tremendous and can suppress evil, so she changed her surname to Zhuang.¡±


    Lin En was sure that she saw some slyness and naughtiness in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. This child ¡­ Was quite smart.


    Lin En was dissatisfied that the people from the old mansion/extended family had been pointing fingers at both her and Zhuang Ming. She had only given them some attention because of Zhuang Ming.

 Chapter 4

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian had just arrived, and they were already so eager to send a young general to play the vanguard. They were in such a hurry that they didn¡¯t even know how to hide their ugly faces.


    Zhuang Jie hated it the most when others mentioned her changing her surname. This was her mother¡¯s ambition, to begin with. Zhuang Jing refused to let go of the Zhuang family¡¯s assets easily, which was why there was a Zhuang Jie who followed her surname.


    In this way, Zhuang Jie was also considered a descendant of the Zhuang family, and she had a good reason for doing so.


    However, no one in the Zhuang family was stupid. Zhuang Jing¡¯s move was rather shallow, so it was often used as a joke.


    Zhuang Xian pretended to understand. ¡°I see. This is the first time I¡¯ve heard of such a thing.¡±


    Zhuang Jie was so angry that her breathing became heavy. She looked at Zhuang Xian with a dangerous expression.


    After a long time, she turned around and said to Lin En, ¡°Mom asked me to bring you some things. You can take a look.¡±


    Lin En smiled and nodded. She got up and said, ¡°Sure, let me go and see.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t right to bully a child, but this girl was too much. She didn¡¯t even have a lock on her mouth. How could she let her precious daughter, who she had just gotten into her hands, be bullied so openly and secretly? Naturally, she could not.


    Zhuang Xian and Lin En looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding.


    Lin En took the things to the kitchen, leaving only Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Jie in the living room.


    Zhuang Jie held the cup in her hand and looked at Zhuang Xian coldly. ¡°What kind of drug did you give Uncle and Aunt? Why are they so good to you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked up at her innocently. ¡°Sister, why do you have such a strong hostility towards me? Have I ever offended you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re calling me sister? Are you even worthy?¡± Zhuang Jie sat up straight and looked Zhuang Xian up and down with her haughty eyes. The disdain in her eyes was obvious. ¡°What kind of poor person are you? How dare you try to have any relationship with me! I¡¯m the only lady in the Zhuang family. Who do you think you are?¡±


    At home, Zhuang Jie had been spoiled rotten by her mother. As someone who was more arrogant than the sky, she naturally looked down on Zhuang Xian, who had come from an orphanage.


    This was the same scene as in her previous life. Zhuang Jie was full of sarcasm and insults toward Zhuang Xian, who had just arrived at the Zhuang family. From the first time she saw Zhuang Xian, she did not like her, especially her face, which was much more beautiful than hers. Just looking at her made her feel annoyed.


    Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t angered by her words. Only an incompetent person would be anxious and bluffing.


    ¡°If your position as the ¡®lady of the Zhuang family¡¯ was stable, would you still be in such a hurry to declare your sovereignty?¡± Zhuang Xian looked at her with a smile.


    Zhuang Jie was hurt by the sarcasm in her eyes and said angrily, ¡°You!¡±


    ¡°What did I do?¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes turned red from her words. She would not allow this cheap woman to humiliate her like this. She casually picked up the coffee on the table and splashed it at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian dodged it, but her shoulder was still touched. The coffee was dark in color, and when reflected on her white clothes, it looked a little scary.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Two surprised voices came from behind her. When Zhuang Jie heard them, she was shocked. She turned around to look at him and Lin En, she panicked a little and her voice became a little unhappy.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her shoulder and then at Zhuang Jie, without saying a word.


    Lin En stepped forward to check on Zhuang Xian¡¯s condition. ¡°How are you? It didn¡¯t burn you, right? Quickly let mommy see!¡±


    Zhuang Xian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. The coffee was not hot.¡±


    Lin En saw that her expression did not appear to be fake, so she turned around and shouted, ¡°Zhuang Jie, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you splash the coffee on Xian? Are you crazy?¡±


    ¡°Aunt, I ¡­¡± Zhuang Jie was still holding the cup in her hand. She was unable to refute Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. She looked at Zhuang Xian and pointed at her. ¡°It¡¯s her fault! She was the one who scolded me, so I poured it on her!¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Zhuang Xian asked. ¡°What did I say?¡±


    ¡°She scolded me¡­Scolded me ¡­¡± Zhuang Xian was a little flustered as she looked at the people in front of her. Lin En was frowning at her, and Zhuang Hang was also looking at her indifferently with a hint of disgust in his eyes. The calmest person in the entire process was Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°It was her, it was her fault! Aunt, how can you care for an outsider?¡± Zhuang Jie said excitedly as she looked at Lin En.


    Lin En used to dote on her a lot.


    Lin En felt that Zhuang Jie was a little confused about the current situation. She was the one who had come to their house and bullied her daughter, so how could she have the face to blame her?


    Sighing, Lin En said, ¡°Even if Xian scolded you, you shouldn¡¯t have splashed coffee on her! What if you scorched her? You¡¯re both girls, how could you be so cruel?¡±

 Chapter 5

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Looking at Zhuang Jie¡¯s unconvinced expression, Lin En continued, ¡°Not to mention that Xian would never swear! Hurry up and apologize to your sister. ¡±


    When Zhuang Jie heard Lin En¡¯s words, she was furious. ¡°Why should I apologize? Is she even worthy?¡±


    Lin En looked at her, and the gentleness on her face disappeared. ¡°It seems that you didn¡¯t pay attention to what I just said.¡±


    ¡°Zhuang Xian is my daughter and the Zhuang family¡¯s young mistress! Do you understand?¡±


    Zhuang Hang looked at Lin En¡¯s serious expression and knew that his mother was really angry. He turned to look at Zhuang Xian and started to size up this ¡®fresh out of the oven¡¯ sister.


    Zhuang Xian was a very beautiful girl. Her skin was very fair, her hair was long, and she looked very cute and gentle.


    If he had not overheard her conversation with Zhuang Jie, he would have thought so.


    However, should he say that she was smart now? Or was she stupid?


    If she could anger Zhuang Jie with a few words, why couldn¡¯t she avoid a cup of coffee?


    This ¡®younger sister¡¯ was quite interesting.


    Zhuang Hang had seen the whole picture, but other than that one sentence, he did not say anything else. He wanted to see what else his sister could do.


    Lin en was very angry. She was usually gentle and warm because she had a husband who doted on her and three sons who were protective of her. She did not have to worry about those annoying things. She was the one who was protected and doted on.


    But now, if she wanted her daughter Zhuang Xian to be treated well, she would not allow her to be bullied.


    Zhuang Jie slowly calmed down under Lin En¡¯s cold gaze. She knew that she had indeed been too impulsive today. She should not have so brazenly made a move on Zhuang Xian in the Zhuang family. She had been too hateful and had underestimated Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°I can apologize if you want!¡± She pointed at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°We¡¯re both at fault. She has to apologize to me too.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her and laughed. ¡°You¡¯re interesting. Even when you¡¯re pestering me endlessly, you do it so naturally.¡±


    Zhuang Jie seemed to have caught her weakness and said excitedly, ¡°See? Aunt, you saw it! She¡¯s so sharp-tongued, how can she be a good person?¡±


    Lin En glanced at Zhuang Xian and felt that her daughter¡¯s temper was very much to her liking.


    As an elder, it wasn¡¯t right for her to argue with Zhuang Jie over this. However, Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t possibly have suffered today for nothing, right? Zhuang Jie had to apologize.


    ¡°What did I see? You¡¯re allowed to bully others, but they are not allowed to defend themselves? I think Xian is right. You weren¡¯t this unreasonable in the past.¡± Said Lin En.


    Although she didn¡¯t get along well with the people from the extended family, she had never taken her anger out on the younger generation in the family.


    This child, Zhuang Jie, had been taught badly by her mother.


    Zhuang Jie was now in a difficult position, and she realized how much Lin En valued Zhuang Xian.


    She had to bow her head today.


    Realizing her situation, Zhuang Jie took a deep breath. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll apologize! I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Xian deeply and then quickly left the living room.


    She would remember this!


    After Zhuang Jie left, Uncle Chang quickly followed Lin En¡¯s instructions, afraid that this ¡®young miss¡¯ would run back in a fit of anger.


    She came here to give Lin En something, so Lin En still had to continue being her ¡®good aunt¡¯ for the time being.


    Noticing Lin En¡¯s instructions, Zhuang Hang said indifferently, ¡°Why do we bother with her?¡± Who can tolerate her temper?¡±


    Lin En glared at him and did not explain. ¡°Come here and say hello to your sister.¡±


    She took Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and smiled gently. ¡°Zhuang Jie has been spoiled by her mother. Let¡¯s not stoop to their level. Come, let me introduce you to your second brother!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him and greeted him with a smile, ¡°Second brother!¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded and looked at her without saying anything.


    ¡°In the future, you three brothers have to be like me. Protect Xian always. Do you understand?¡± Lin En said to Zhuang Hang.


    Seeing that Zhuang Hang was standing at the side without saying anything, Lin En skillfully pulled his ear and said, ¡°I¡¯m talking to you! Did you hear that, you little brat?¡±


    Zhuang Hang was in pain. He lowered his head and tried to save his ears in his mother¡¯s hands. ¡°I know, I know! Be gentle, Mom!¡±


    Only then did Lin En let go. When he looked up, he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s smiling eyes.

 Chapter 6

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The girl smiled at them. Her smile was bright and cheerful.


    He seemed to have seen this smile somewhere before. It felt familiar.


    During dinner, Zhuang Hang sat down opposite Zhuang Xian. He was replying to Zhuang Huai¡¯s messages on his phone.


    This lad knew that his parents had brought Zhuang Xian home today, so he sent him a lot of questions, all of which were about Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°Mom really picked up a sister for us? What does she look like? Does she look good? I¡¯m finally not the youngest, anymore hahaha! I can be a big brother too. ¡±


    Speechless at his jumping thoughts, Zhuang hang replied, ¡®If you¡¯re so curious, come back and see for yourself.¡¯


    ¡°You didn¡¯t get a shock this afternoon, did you?¡± Zhuang Ming sat down.


    Zhuang Xian knew that he was asking about Zhuang Jie, so she obediently replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t, Daddy!¡±


    Seeing her full of energy, Zhuang Ming nodded in relief. ¡°That¡¯s good. ¡±


    Zhuang Ming was a very outstanding and charming man. His business was doing well and his family was very harmonious. If she didn¡¯t do those stupid things in her previous life, she would have lived a happy life with her mother.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts started to wander. This feeling of guilt and helplessness made her feel terrible. Fortunately, she had returned and everything had not happened yet. She was still on time.


    Zhuang Hang noticed the change in Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood. She seemed to have fallen into some kind of unknown sadness, but after a while, she slowly adjusted herself.


    It was really strange!


    When Zhuang Jie came downstairs to eat, she lowered her head and called Zhuang Ming ¡®uncle¡¯. Zhuang Ming glanced at her but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s clothes and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go buy something tomorrow. You brought very little. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and waved her hand. ¡°I have some. It¡¯s not ¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s decided then. ¡± Lin En clapped her hands and decided. ¡°Girls should be exquisite and beautiful.¡±


    ¡°My wife is right.¡±


    Zhuang Hang calmly took a sip of the soup in response to Zhuang Ming¡¯s unprincipled agreement.


    Looking at the family of four in front of her, Zhuang Jie¡¯s grip on her chopsticks tightened.


    She felt that she was an extra and did not fit in with the happy scene in front of her. And the main culprit of all this was Zhuang Xian!


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s smiling face, Zhuang Jie was extremely annoyed.


    However, thinking about what her mother had told her and the expectations of her good friend An Ye, Zhuang Jie could only stay in the Zhuang family.


    When Zhuang Xian put down the medical book in her hand, it was already past eleven o¡¯clock. This book that the old man had given her was quite profound.


    She read with relish, but her glass was empty, so she had to go downstairs to get some water.


    ¡°What are you doing? Are you trying to steal something?¡± Zhuang Jie shouted.


    She had followed Zhuang Xian down the stairs. She had lost face today and she was eager to get back at Zhuang Xian. Now, she had something on her.


    ¡°I knew that a person like you would have dirty hands! I bet you¡¯ve done quite a lot of things like this back in that cheap place of yours!¡±


    The kitchen had a warm light on, but it was not bright. Zhuang Xian looked at her calmly, as if she did not care about her insults and accusations. ¡°Did I steal something from the kitchen? Steal a cup of water?¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at the cup in her hand and choked. ¡°Even so, you¡¯re not sleeping in the middle of the night. Instead, you¡¯re wandering around the house. You must be up to no good! I advise you to be careful, don¡¯t let me catch you. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even know how you died. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows. The coldness in her eyes made Zhuang Jie shiver.


    She was afraid!


    She was afraid of a newcomer and a good-for-nothing Zhuang Xian?


    ¡°I¡¯m being too kind to say you¡¯re stupid! How can you use a crude and childish way of framing and slandering a second time?¡± The way Zhuang Xian looked at her was like she was looking at trash. ¡°Did anyone believe you? Do you think you¡¯ve done a wonderful job?¡±


    Zhuang Xian stood under the warm light. Her white dress had a gentle glow to it, and with her delicate face, she looked like an angel. However, her eyes were as cold as ice, and her dark pupils made people think of the abyss of hell ¡­


    The powerful pressure that Zhuang Xian was exuding caused Zhuang Jie to take a step back involuntarily.


    It was too ¡­ Too terrifying!

 Chapter 7

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Jie was almost suffocated by Zhuang Xian. ¡°You¡­Just you wait, I won¡¯t let you off!¡±


    She only had time to say a few harsh words before Zhuang Jie became so scared that she fled.


    After Zhuang Jie escaped from her sight, Zhuang Xian retracted her powerful aura and said to the person in the corner, ¡°Second brother, you¡¯re not asleep yet?¡±


    Zhuang Hang walked out and admired Zhuang Jie¡¯s ghostly appearance, which made his tone a little lighter.


    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen her so afraid of someone! You¡¯re very powerful. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her head to look at Zhuang Hang, only to meet the other party¡¯s probing eyes.


    ¡°She¡¯s not afraid of me! Is second brother the kind of person who can silently endure being targeted by others for no reason?¡± Zhuang Xian asked Zhuang Hang with a smile.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s question made Zhuang Hang¡¯s lips curl up.


    Their Zhuang family indeed did not have the kind of saint-like and na?ve character who would return good for evil? It did not exist.


    They believed in the principle that if people didn¡¯t offend them, they wouldn¡¯t offend them. If people offended them, they would pay them back double.


    Zhuang Hang looked at her and did not move for a long time. He was trying to find out if this girl was as innocent and honest as she appeared.


    Zhuang Hang did not find anything else in her beautiful eyes. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve convinced me. I¡¯m not that kind of person.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was not that kind of person, so what she had done just now could be explained as a counterattack against Zhuang Jie. He was not that kind of person either, so he did not stop Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°I can tell that mom likes you.¡± His sudden change in tone made Zhuang Xian nervous. ¡°I hope you can live up to her kindness. Don¡¯t let me find out that you have other motives.¡±


    Her second brother was still the same as in her previous life. He would beat around the bush and use different methods to test her.


    She also knew that this was one of the ways the second brother loved his family. He seemed to always silently protect this family like this.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes flashed with slyness and playfulness when she saw this awkward love. ¡°What purpose could I have? I¡¯m just greedy for the good that Mom and Dad will do for me. ¡±


    Then, she looked at Zhuang Hang with sincerity and determination. ¡°I swear on my life that I will not hurt anyone in this family.¡±


    The young girl¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and they were shining. Zhuang hang¡¯s intuition told him that he could trust this girl.


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s expression softened. ¡°Then I¡¯ll believe you for now.¡±


    Zhuang Xian understood that it wasn¡¯t that her second brother couldn¡¯t tolerate her like this, but that he was on guard. He was afraid that this adopted daughter who had suddenly appeared would hurt his family, so he was carefully testing her.


    Zhuang Hang wasn¡¯t afraid of Zhuang Xian¡¯s intelligence or her schemes. As long as Zhuang Xian¡¯s schemes and methods didn¡¯t affect the people he cared about, it had nothing to do with him.


    Zhuang Jie did not know about the confrontation in the living room. She suppressed her wildly beating heart and looked a little annoyed.


    What was she afraid of? Was Zhuang Xian going to eat her?


    Perhaps she was just scaring herself just now! After letting out a breath, Zhuang Jie sat by the bed and called her mother.


    When Zhuang Xian returned to her room, it was already very late.


    So, when Zhuang Xian received the call from the old man, she was very surprised. ¡°Grandpa!¡±


    ¡°You still know how to call me Grandpa? Why didn¡¯t you tell me before you left? It¡¯s such a big matter!¡± The old man¡¯s voice was full of anger. It was so late and he was still not asleep. It seemed like he was really angry.


    ¡°What did Li Qin say to you again?¡± Zhuang Xian asked in a soft voice.


    ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt me. You¡¯re wrong in this matter!¡±


    Zhuang Xian sighed. ¡°Grandfather¡­I¡¯ve already told you about this! I want to stay with the Zhuang family, I like it here. ¡±


    The old man paused for a moment, feeling a little choked. He recalled that Xiao(little) Xian had indeed mentioned to him once about being adopted by the Zhuang family.


    He did not understand why this silly child was so insistent on going to the Zhuang family. Those old fellows in the Zhuang family¡¯s old mansion (extended family) were not easy to get along with.


    The old man stopped talking, and Zhuang Xian continued, ¡°Iknow you¡¯re worried about me, but I¡¯m fine. Mom and Dad are very good to me, so don¡¯t worry.¡±


    The old master sighed. This child was like a stubborn donkey. Once she had made up her mind, no one could stop her. Over the past few years, he had experienced it more or less.


    ¡°If you have any difficulties, remember to tell Grandpa! Grandpa will support you. ¡±


    ¡°Thank you, old man,¡±Zhuang Xian smiled and said obediently.

 Chapter 8

    The next morning, Zhuang Xian woke up early and started cooking in the kitchen.


    Aunt Jiang was Uncle Chang¡¯s wife and an old member of the Zhuang family. They had followed Zhuang Ming from the old family house and held a very large place in his heart.


    Aunty Jiang looked at Zhuang Xian with a big smile on her face. She liked this young lady who had just arrived.


    ¡°Alright, fourth miss, I¡¯ll handle the rest.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and her lips curved into a happy smile. ¡°It¡¯s almost ready! Just help me look after the cookies in the oven. When dad goes out, take some to him. ¡±


    Aunty Jiang looked at her with relief. Zhuang Ming had an old problem of low blood sugar. The fourth young mistress was very thoughtful and helpful.


    Lin En had just come down the stairs when she saw Zhuang Xian talking to someone in the kitchen. She was a little confused and asked, ¡°Xian, what are you talking about with Auntie Jiang?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around and smiled sweetly, ¡°Mom, you¡¯re up! I didn¡¯t say anything. I made some biscuits and wanted Dad to take them to the company to eat later!¡±


    In Lin En¡¯s eyes, the smiling Zhuang Xian was like a shining little angel. She stepped forward and hugged Zhuang Xian, muttering, ¡°You are so adorable, my little baby! Why are you so competent?¡±


    Lin En¡¯s body had a nice fragrance, and Zhuang Xian¡¯s face was pressed against her neck. She liked this intimate feeling.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that so! The fourth young miss was the one who made breakfast. I¡¯ve seen it, and it¡¯s pretty good. ¡± Auntie Jiang added.


    Lin En looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and said in surprise, ¡°Xian! Did you do all this?¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and smiled obediently.


    It was her first morning with the Zhuang family. She wanted to have a new start. She cooked very well and wanted to cook for her parents and second brother. She had too many regrets in her previous life. She wanted to try her best to make up for some, so she started with these small things.


    Lin En was so touched that she wondered if she had picked up a treasure. Where could she find such a sensible and considerate little girl?


    When the family was seated neatly at the dining table, Zhuang Jie came downstairs yawning. She did not sleep well last night and had nightmares as if she fought a battle in her dream.


    Zhuang Hang looked at her and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What bad things did you do at night?¡±


    Zhuang Jie stopped in her tracks and looked at Zhuang Xian from afar. She was more or less a little afraid. ¡°Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would I do anything bad?¡±


    She turned to Zhuang Ming and said in a delicate voice, ¡°Uncle! Just look at second brother.¡±


    ¡°Alright, hurry up and come over for breakfast.¡± Zhuang Ming said indifferently.


    Zhuang Jie sat down and looked at the calm Zhuang Xian. She was a little angry. Last night, she had nightmares all because of that B*tch Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Jie secretly glared at Zhuang Xian and put the spoon into her mouth without caring about what she was scooping. The next moment, the food in her mouth was so hot that she threw the spoon in her hand away.


    She looked at Aunty Jiang beside her. ¡°You¡¯re courting death, old fool! Are you trying to burn me to death by making the porridge so hot?¡± Her tongue was burning in pain, and Zhuang Jie, who was already holding back her anger, was instantly enraged. Her brain was dominated by anger and she couldn¡¯t think of what to say or what not to say.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie without batting an eyelid. She was starting to make a scene again.


    Zhuang Ming frowned and looked at his niece coldly with his eagle eyes.


    ¡°Uncle! Look at them, they¡¯re all bullying me.¡± As Zhuang Jie spoke, she felt aggrieved and tears started to well up in her eyes.


    ¡°Are you a child? Don¡¯t you know how to judge whether something is hot? When did you get this habit of scolding people at every turn? Is this how your mother taught you?¡± Zhuang Ming looked at her coldly and scolded, ¡°Hurry up and apologize to Aunty.¡±


    Zhuang Jie was shocked by Zhuang Ming¡¯s cold face. Her body trembled and tears rolled down her face. ¡°Uncle, you want me to apologize to a servant? On what basis?¡±


    Zhuang Hang replied in frustration, ¡°That¡¯s enough, young miss! Isn¡¯t it annoying coming so early in the morning? It was a good breakfast, but you¡¯ve caused so much chaos! You¡¯re the one with a foul mouth, so what¡¯s wrong with making you apologize?¡±


    ¡°Zhuang Hang, you ¡­¡±


    Aunty Jiang saw that the situation wasn¡¯t looking good, so she quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine! I saw that Young lady scalded herself. It was my fault, I didn¡¯t remind her. ¡±


    He couldn¡¯t let this little devil continue to cause trouble.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get someone to send her back after she¡¯s eaten!¡± Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t want to argue with her and spoke in annoyance.

 Chapter 9

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian, who had been eating quietly, was much better. She was respectful and sensible, unlike this little brat, who was so noisy that it hurt his head.


    ¡°But, I asked An Ye to come here to find me! She¡¯s looking for Second brother for something.¡± Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Ming and said carefully.


    When Zhuang Xian heard Zhuang Jie¡¯s words, she looked up at Hang.


    The An Ye that Zhuang Jie was talking about was the same person who in her previous life, had led to the collapse of the Zhuang family and the depression of her big brother.All these could not have been without the shadow of this woman.


    An Ye¡¯s purpose in coming to the house was not simple. In her previous life, she used Zhuang Jie¡¯s proximity to the three brothers to go back and forth between them. She used all kinds of seduction and flirting techniques!


    In the end, she hooked up with her big brother, Zhuang Bai, and from there, the Zhuang family¡¯s tragedy began. Big brother had been deceived by her, and she sold important information about the Zhuang family to the Ye family and the Lin family. Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want to mention those disgusting things that she couldn¡¯t bear to think about.


    An Ye was a scheming person and was also someone that they had to be wary of. Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Hang and thought of her three brothers. She sighed slightly. It seemed that she had to protect them and not let them be ¡®harmed¡¯ by that pretentious B*tch.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Second brother very busy today? I heard you say that the company¡¯s project is very urgent!¡± Zhuang Xian said.


    Zhuang Hang was stunned. Wasn¡¯t he on vacation? Did he have any unfinished projects?


    However, when he saw the look in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Hang subconsciously agreed, ¡°Ah, yes! I¡¯m busy. ¡±


    Zhuang Jie glared at Zhuang Xian and secretly hated her for being so talkative. She couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°I¡¯m talking to Second brother, what does it have to do with you?¡±


    Lin En saw that Zhuang Jie was starting to pick on Zhuang Xian again and her head started to hurt. ¡°There¡¯s no one at home. Why did they have to send you over? Maybe it should be left till next time.¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Ming was very determined to send her back, Zhuang Jie could only give up and think about finding another opportunity for An Ye next time.


    It was getting late and Zhuang Ming was about to go to work. Lin En quickly handed Zhuang Ming his briefcase and stuffed a lunchbox into his arms. ¡°This is a gift from our little princess. She specially prepared it for you. We¡¯re all basking in her glory!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s face bloomed with a smile when he heard that. The coldness he had earlier dissipated completely. He kissed his wife¡¯s face and said, ¡°Thank you, little princess. Thank you, little princess¡¯ mother.¡±


    Lin En was pleased. ¡°Hurry up and go. Don¡¯t be late for work.¡±


    Zhuang Ming nodded. ¡°I have an important meeting with the Mo family today. I don¡¯t know if I can make it back in time for dinner. Don¡¯t wait for me.¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s title of ¡®wife slave¡¯ was well-known in the circle. He didn¡¯t care about the ridicule others made of him. Instead, he enjoyed it. So what if he liked to dote on his wife? What kind of man would he be if he didn¡¯t protect his woman?


    Mo Qian sat in the customized Rolls-Royce with his eyes closed as he listened to the female assistant¡¯s report on Ming ¡®En Corporation. When she mentioned Zhuang Ming, Mo Qian opened his eyes. ¡°This Mr. Zhuang is really interesting.¡±


    ¡°Yup! Don¡¯t you know that he¡¯s the dream husband of all the women in City H? If my husband is half as good as him, I would die for it. ¡± The assistant said, her eyes full of desire.


    Maxi, who was at the side, wanted to remind the female assistant to restrain herself, but when he turned his head, he saw that Mo Qian was smiling and did not have any intention of condemning the female assistant. He let out a soft sigh of relief.


    Meanwhile, Lin En, who could not stay idle for even a moment, had already taken Zhuang Xian out.


    When they arrived at the largest shopping mall in City H, Zhuang Xian looked at her mother, who was in high spirits and smiled helplessly. ¡°Mom!¡±


    Lin En pulled her hand over. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Mom¡¯s paying today, so just buy whatever you want.¡±


    Zhuang Xian and her second brother, who had been dragged here to do the hard work, looked at each other. She could see the helplessness in his eyes. Women who loved to shop had extremely terrifying fighting power, not to mention Lin En, who was a rich woman.


    Zhuang Hang looked at the bags of various sizes hanging on him and the driver then looked at his mother for help. ¡°Enough, Mom! Even five Zhuang Xians wouldn¡¯t be able to wear that many clothes!¡±


    Lin En was picking out perfume for Zhuang Xian. She looked back and forth between the two brands of perfume in her hands and asked, ¡°Xian, which fragrance do you like?¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at the guellain series in her hands. ¡°The one with the floral scent.¡±


    Lin En nodded and passed it to the shop assistant. She replied, ¡°What do you mean by enough? How can a girl have too many things to wear? You¡¯re lazy! I¡¯m just asking you to help in carrying the bag, not to buy it for your sister! You talk too much. ¡±

 Chapter 10

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°I¡¯ll pay for it this time. Please allow me to go back!¡± Zhuang Hang smiled bitterly.


    Zhuang Xian was amused by Zhuang Hang¡¯s pitiful look. She held Lin En¡¯s hand and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough, mom. Let¡¯s go back. ¡±


    ¡°But, I¡¯m still waiting for Judge¡¯s new product to be released in the afternoon. I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time for this collection of clothes and jewelry.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was stunned. Wasn¡¯t Judge a fashion studio that she ran? She was also the main designer in the studio.


    Since her mother was looking forward to her work so much, Zhuang Xian naturally couldn¡¯t let her down. She smiled and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s find a place to rest. Second brother is tired, and so am I.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Lin En agreed.


    Zhuang Xian was walking in front with Lin En and did not notice Zhuang Jie and An Ye following behind them. Zhuang Hang seemed to have sensed something and turned back to look in that direction.


    Zhuang Jie pulled An Ye over and the two of them hid behind the shelf. Zhuang Jie lowered her voice and said anxiously, ¡°I told you this wouldn¡¯t work! I just offended my second brother this morning, so it¡¯s not good to take you to see him now. We¡¯ll find another opportunity to play it safe!¡±


    Zhuang Hang was right in front of her eyes. How could An Ye return empty-handed? She had to show her face in front of him today.


    An Ye was a little speechless towards Zhuang Jie. Her friend was indeed not smart enough. She had offended Hang, and it was not in conflict with her purpose. Why was she forcefully pulling her away?


    However, An Ye still comforted Zhuang Jie. ¡°It¡¯s okay. We¡¯re not going up to obstruct them. I just want to follow behind and see brother Zhuang Hang. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at her good friend¡¯s eyes and knew that she had liked her second brother for a long time. She sighed helplessly. ¡°Alright, but we can¡¯t be discovered.¡±


    She did not want Zhuang Xian to think that she had followed her all the way here.


    An Ye pretended to agree. Who knew what would happen later!


    She pointed at Zhuang Xian and asked Zhuang Jie, ¡°Is that the new younger sister of brother Zhuang Hang? She¡¯s good-looking. ¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s face became clouded with anger and she said hatefully, ¡°She¡¯s a B*tch. I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t be fooled by her face.¡±


    In a low voice, she told her good friend about yesterday¡¯s incident, exaggerating things.


    Hearing this, An Ye echoed in surprise, ¡°Heavens! How could she be such a person? She even caused you to be scolded by Uncle? She is too horrible, we have to find a way to deal with her.¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes lit up. That was exactly what she was thinking. An Ye was her good friend. The two of them had the same thoughts.


    Zhuang Xian did not expect to meet Ye Xin here. She tried to recall what had happened in her previous life. In her previous life, she had only met Ye Xin a long time after. Why did they appear here?


    Zhuang Xian fell into deep thoughts as she looked at Ye Xin and Shen Min, who were standing behind Judge¡¯s exquisite door plate.


    Lin En noticed that something was wrong with Zhuang Xian and asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you know her?¡±


    Zhuang Xian came back to her senses. It was more than just knowing her! Weren¡¯t they her ¡®mother¡¯ and ¡®sister¡¯? Truly, enemies meet on a narrow road!


    ¡°I don¡¯t, mom,¡± she replied, shaking her head.


    Lin En turned around and looked at Shen Min, frowning. ¡°Why is she here?¡±


    Looking at Lin En¡¯s expression, she must know Shen Min. What was going on? ¡°Mother, do you know her?¡± Zhuang Xian asked.


    Lin En nodded. ¡°This Mrs. Ye is not a kind person! I¡¯ve met her at a business meeting before, and I¡¯ve seen her pestering people!¡± Said Lin En. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes as if she had recalled some bad memories.


    It seemed that Shen Min was very famous! Even Lin En had heard of her.


    Zhuang Hang walked over after handing in the invitation. The Judge was of high class and the venue was well decorated, unlike an ordinary store.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± She said.


    When she saw Lin En take out Judge¡¯s S-Class VIP cd, Zhuang Xian finally realized that Lin En was Judge¡¯s loyal fan.


    If she had known that her mother liked Judge¡¯s product so much, she would have informed the staff to make a special entrance for her. Then she would not have to wait for the new product launch.


    Lin En¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the light green dress in the display window! ¡°I like it!¡± She was already amazed by the dress designed by Judge¡¯s chief designer.


    Zhuang Hang gestured for the service staff to come over. Under Zhuang Ming¡¯s influence, the brothers had learned to pay for their mother without an instructor.


    ¡°Xian, take a look and see if you like it. Mommy will buy it for you!¡±

 Chapter 11

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Shen Min also took a fancy to this dress. She stood in front of the display window and said to the shop assistant, ¡°I want this one! Wrap it up.¡±


    Shen Min said as she turned around to talk to Ye Xin.


    The shop assistant looked at her with a smile and said,¡± Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Zhuang has already decided on this gown. You can take a look at our other new products.¡±


    Shen Min impatiently turned her head and said, ¡°I want this one. Don¡¯t you understand?¡±


    ¡°Mrs. Ye, this has indeed just been decided by Mrs. Zhuang. Our other new products are pretty good. You can have a look at them again.¡± The sales assistant showed her professionalism. She knew that she had encountered a difficult customer here.


    Shen Min was already looking at Lin En and ignored the shop assistant¡¯s words, ¡°So it¡¯s sister Lin! I thought it was another Mrs. Zhuang who wanted to snatch this gown from me!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ye Xin and Shen Min as she tried her best to suppress the hatred in her heart. Now was not the time to reveal her true self.


    Lin En smiled and replied, ¡°Yes, but Mrs. Ye, you¡¯re still a step too late!¡±


    Shen Min sized up Lin En and smiled, ¡°Do you think you can wear this dress with your body? Why don¡¯t you let me have it?¡±


    Shen Min was indeed a very beautiful woman. If she did not have such a good foundation, she would not have been able to give birth to Zhuang Xian, who was an extremely beautiful woman.


    ¡°Then there¡¯s no need for Mrs. Ye to worry.¡± As Lin En spoke, there was no more kindness in her eyes. She meant, ¡°I won¡¯t let you.¡±


    Shen Min was deliberately looking for trouble! Lin En did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but she was not afraid of trouble either! She was in the right in this matter, so there was even less to worry about.


    Shen Min rolled her eyes at Lin En and said to the shop assistant beside her, ¡°Get your manager here. I want to talk to him. I¡¯ll pay double for this gown. Let me take it away!¡±


    She was determined to get her hands on this gown today. After all, no one would go against money!


    The Zhuang family¡¯s business had been doing very well recently, and they were about to cooperate with the Mo family! Ye Zheng had been so worried about this matter recently that he almost lost his hair. She could use Lin En to vent her anger today.


    The people around them slowly noticed that there was a show to watch, and they surrounded them in twos and threes.


    After Zhuang Xian sent a message to her subordinate who was in charge of the store, she looked at Shen Min with a smile. The rules of the Judge were not something that could be ruled by money.


    This was her territory, so how could she let them be comfortable? It was impossible.


    At this moment, Ye Xin, who was standing beside Shen Min, spoke up, ¡°Aunty Lin, my mother is a straightforward person!¡± How about this, we¡¯ll pay for all your expenses at Judge today, and you let mom have this gown, okay? She likes this gown. ¡±


    A gentle smile hung on Ye Xin¡¯s face. She was good-looking and had a pure appearance, which made her very lovable.


    The onlookers changed the way they looked at Lin En. It was as if she didn¡¯t know what was good for her if she didn¡¯t agree.


    Zhuang Hang chuckled. ¡°Why? Does the Zhuang family lack money that you have to pay for us? My mom likes this gown, and she placed an order for it before you guys. There¡¯s no reason for her to give it to you. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Ye Xin and said indifferently, ¡°This dress is designed to be elegant and quiet. It¡¯s very selective of people¡¯s temperament. It should suit my mother more.¡±


    After a short pause, Zhuang Xian continued, ¡°If Mrs. Ye and Miss Ye want to make a big deal out of this, we¡¯re not afraid! Judge is a very bold brand, and I think it has its reasons for its success. ¡±


    When Shen Min heard this, she immediately exploded, ¡°What do you mean? Are you saying that Lin En is more elegant than me? Are you blind?¡±


    As she spoke, she sized Zhuang Xian up. ¡°You¡¯re Lin En¡¯s newly adopted daughter?¡± Go away, you have no right to speak here!¡±


    Shen Min was still as vulgar and shallow as before. She did not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s meaning at all and had gotten the main points wrong. Zhuang Xian was saying that she was shallow, did not see the big picture, and her actions were vulgar, only knowing how to use power and money to suppress others! However, she only heard the most superficial layer of meaning.


    Her unreasonable behavior might have worked if it were someone else, but Lin En was also a rich lady. She did not lack money and was not afraid of trouble.


    In the judges¡¯ shop were all manner of rich and powerful people, and there was no lack of smart people among them, so they all had a higher opinion of Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°I think she¡¯s right. This gown is indeed more suitable for Mrs. Zhuang. Judge is a famous brand with a lot of personality. Mrs. Ye can¡¯t cause trouble here!¡±

 Chapter 12

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°This girl is not old, but she is very organized, neither humble nor arrogant, and her speech is also very good.¡±


    Shen Min¡¯s face turned red with anger as she listened to the discussions of the people around her. She glared at Zhuang Xian. This little B*tch really can fan the flames! However, she was not afraid of this at all.


    When the store manager rushed over, Shen Min raised her chin and said arrogantly, ¡°I¡¯m sure you know who I am. I¡¯m taking this gown today. I can fork out more money, so you can settle them!¡±


    The manager had just received instructions from his superiors. He was a very alert person and knew what he should do. He looked at Shen Min with a smile and said politely, ¡°Hello, Ms. Shen. As the manager of the store, I¡¯m very grateful for your patronage of Judge.¡±


    He paused for a moment and continued, ¡°The right to purchase this gown requires an S-rank member position. You don¡¯t seem to be a member of our group, right?¡±


    When Shen Min heard the store manager¡¯s words, she thought that she had a chance. However, she did not expect him to suddenly change the topic. Shen Min was stunned, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Mrs. Zhuang is our S-Class VIP and has just been promoted to a member. She has the priority to purchase the items. Please forgive her.¡±


    Ye Xin had already sensed that something was amiss. Lin En and Zhuang Xian, who was by her side, were not as easy to bully as the people they had met before. The Zhuang family¡¯s new adopted daughter did have some tricks up her sleeve.


    ¡°Mrs. Zhuang was the one who took a fancy to it first. Don¡¯t they understand the simple concept of first come, first served?¡±


    ¡°Mrs. Zhuang had already fancied it before them. It¡¯s a simple logic of first come, first served. Don¡¯t they understand?¡±


    ¡°Why are the Ye family¡¯s Madam and daughter so unbearable? It is too ugly! You¡¯re an embarrassment to boss Ye!¡±


    As she watched the people around her pointing at her, Ye Xin realized that she had kicked an iron plate today.


    The manager turned to look at Lin En and smiled. ¡°Mrs. Zhuang, we¡¯ll send the gown you¡¯ve purchased to your house later. We¡¯re very sorry for the inconvenience today. Judge has prepared some small gifts along with the gown. Please forgive us for not being respectful.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the store manager, who had arrived promptly, and was very satisfied. It seemed like she could give him a raise forthwith.


    Lin En was a little surprised. She did not know that this so-called S-Class VIP had the priority to choose. What kind of character member did Judge promote her to? It sounded very special!


    In front of Shen Min and so many people, Lin En suppressed the surprise in her heart and smiled politely, ¡°I know, thank you.¡±


    The store manager bowed slightly to her. ¡°That is what we should do. I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±


    Lin En indicated that he could go and do other things. He turned around and looked at Shen Min¡¯s face which was red from anger. He smiled sarcastically and said slowly, ¡°How is it, Mrs. Ye? You can¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want here just because you have some filthy money, right? Boss Ye¡¯s business is hard to do. You¡¯re outside, so it¡¯s better to make fewer enemies for him! Take this as my advice to you, no need to thank me!¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed lightly. Her mother¡¯s sharp tongue was something that few could match.


    Shen Min originally wanted to use Lin En to help Ye Zheng vent his anger, but it had the opposite effect. She failed to bully her with her power and was instead ridiculed by Lin En!


    ¡°What are you so proud of? You just snatched a piece of clothing!¡± Shen Min flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted, ¡°This Judge is not a reasonable person! There must be something wrong with his brain if he doesn¡¯t want to earn money!¡±


    ¡°Yes, even if it¡¯s something that¡¯s not popular, it¡¯s something that Mrs. Ye can¡¯t even get.¡± This was called adding oil to the fire by Zhuang Xian.


    Ye Xin stepped forward and blocked Shen Min¡¯s path, discreetly holding onto her wrist. She looked at Lin En and Zhuang Xian apologetically with her large eyes, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Aunty Lin! My Mom isn¡¯t feeling well today. She didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Shen Min¡¯s dignity that was shattered today could not be restored! If it weren¡¯t for Ye Xin¡¯s presence and consideration for the Ye family¡¯s reputation, the Ye family would probably be in deep trouble today.


    She looked at Zhuang Xian and her eyes lit up. ¡°Are you the fourth young mistress that Aunt Lin¡¯s family just adopted? Hello, I¡¯m Ye Xin. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ye Xin and suppressed the hatred and anger in her heart. She didn¡¯t show it on her face, but her eyes were frighteningly deep. ¡°I¡¯m Zhuang Xian.¡±


    A chill ran down Ye Xin¡¯s spine from Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze. It seemed like there were many things hidden in her eyes.

 Chapter 13

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Ye Xin couldn¡¯t help but take a step back. She suppressed the unknown panic that rose in her heart and chuckled, ¡°We¡¯ll make a move first. ¡±


    When Ye Xin returned to the car, she recalled the strange look Zhuang Xian had given her. She was bewildered. She was sure that she had never met Zhuang Xian before. They were strangers, so why would Zhuang Xian look at her like that?


    While Ye Xin was still puzzled, Lin En was in an extremely good mood. ¡°Judge¡¯s service is really good! I like them very much, and it would be even better if I had the opportunity to meet their boss.¡±


    ¡®Their boss is right in front of you, Mom,¡¯ Zhuang Xian thought.


    ¡°We¡¯ve been out long enough today, let¡¯s go home!¡± Zhuang Xian suggested after looking at the time.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home!¡± Lin En nodded.


    Zhuang Hang looked at her and almost cried tears of joy when he realized that he was finally going to return home. Let¡¯s hurry home. ¡±


    However, when they reached the entrance of the shopping mall, An Ye scuttled in front of Zhuang Jie without her noticing.


    ¡°Brother Zhuang Hang? What a coincidence, I wasn¡¯t so sure just now, I didn¡¯t think it was you. Are you out shopping too?¡±


    An Ye pretended to be surprised. She tugged at Zhuang Hang¡¯s clothes and turned her head as if she had just seen Lin En and Zhuang Xian. ¡°Hello, Auntie Lin! And this is?¡±


    Looking at An Ye¡¯s perfectly timed question, Zhuang Xian wanted to applaud her.


    Compared to her, Zhuang Jie was far inferior.


    Her enemies popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after the rain. Zhuang Xian rubbed her fists and wiped her palms. She was afraid that they would not show up!


    Looking at An Ye, who was still acting, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. She directly locked her gaze on Zhuang Jie, who was standing some distance away from them. She pretended to be confused and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t cousin go home? Why are you still here? Did you follow us here?¡±


    With Zhuang Xian¡¯s reminder, Lin En also noticed Zhuang Jie¡¯s figure. ¡°Yes, didn¡¯t your uncle get someone to send you back?¡±


    Seeing that she couldn¡¯t avoid it, Zhuang Jie could only suppress the guilt in her heart. She took small steps forward and pretended to be calm as she explained, ¡°I came here to shop with An Ye. Who knew that you would be in this shopping mall too?¡±


    As she said this, she glared at Zhuang Xian, thinking to herself, ¡°Your eyes are so good. If you don¡¯t speak, do you think others will think you¡¯re mute?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was not angry at being glared at for no reason. Zhuang Jie did not like her anyway, so what could she do if she made the other party hate her even more?


    ¡°What a coincidence!¡± Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows. From the corner of her eye, she saw Zhuang Hang push An Ye¡¯s hand away and felt a little more comfortable.


    ¡°We¡¯re not that close, don¡¯t get all touchy the moment you come up. ¡± Zhuang Hang frowned, his eyes unhappy.


    An Ye retracted her hand and looked at him with a wronged expression. ¡°Brother Zhuang Hang!¡±


    She wanted to continue acting sad, but Zhuang Xian blocked her view. Zhuang Xian looked in the direction of the underground parking lot and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re tired from shopping today. We don¡¯t want to stand here and reminisce about the old days. We¡¯re going home.¡±


    An Ye ignored Zhuang Xian and continued to look at Zhuang Hang innocently. Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, she knew that her act of pretending to be weak and pitiful was useless against Zhuang Hang. An Ye then unwillingly took a step back.


    At the same time, she secretly glared at Zhuang Xian, angry at her for being so meddlesome!


    Zhuang Jie saw that Zhuang Hang was ignoring An Ye and quickly spoke up to create an opportunity for her friend. ¡°Second brother, didn¡¯t you go to the same university as An Ye? She just happened to have a question to ask you!¡±


    An Ye and Zhuang Jie looked at each other and quickly agreed, ¡°That¡¯s right, brother Zhuang Hang, we even had the same mentor! Professor Brian¡¯s research project is really difficult, so I wanted to get some information from you!¡±


    An Ye was a sweet-looking girl. When she raised her head and looked at people with her eyes, she had a pure allure.


    Zhuang Hang had thought that she was like the other girls in school, sticking to him like a blood-sucking bug and wanting to fall in love with him. He didn¡¯t expect her to have something serious to do. This made Zhuang Hang touch his nose in embarrassment, and his tone softened a little. ¡°Then send me the questions, and I¡¯ll take a look.¡±


    An Ye¡¯s smile widened. ¡°Okay, brother Zhuang Hang, I¡¯ll send it to you when I get back.¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Hang had let down his guard, Zhuang Xian quickly said, ¡°Second brother has already graduated from school for two to three years, what kind of information can he possibly give you? Why don¡¯t you tell me? Maybe I¡¯ll know more!¡±


    She could not give this woman any chance!

 Chapter 14

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t help but laugh at Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. It was as if she had just heard a funny joke. She said, ¡°You? A person from the orphanage wants to tutor An Ye in her studies at Saint Capital University? Don¡¯t be funny, alright? Do you know what Saint Capital University is? Do you know where the gate of the University is?¡±


    Zhuang Jie finally found an opportunity to mock Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°Enough!¡± Lin En stopped her. ¡°A person¡¯s family background is not a reason for you to laugh at her.¡±


    Was Zhuang Jie mocking Zhuang Xian?


    No, she was stabbing a knife into her heart. Lin En¡¯s heart ached at the thought of her precious daughter suffering so much and not being able to receive a better education.


    Zhuang Xian patted Lin En¡¯s hand, feeling touched by how protective she was of her.


    She didn¡¯t care what others thought of her or what they said about her, but she couldn¡¯t accept the people she cared about being sad for her!


    ¡°How do you know I don¡¯t understand? I have acceptance letters from several famous universities in the country. I know more than you can imagine!¡±


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm expression, Zhuang Jie felt her throat go dry.


    This woman couldn¡¯t be telling the truth, right?


    No, she was born in an orphanage. How could she have the chance to receive a high-end education? Zhuang Jie convinced herself.


    ¡°Hmph, who doesn¡¯t know how to brag! Who knows if you¡¯re lying or not. ¡± Zhuang Jie said sarcastically.


    Seeing the two of them facing each other, An Ye quickly ran out to be the peacemaker. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a good thing that someone is helping! Don¡¯t say that about her.¡± She looked at Zhuang Xian and smiled gently. ¡°Then, let¡¯s find a place to talk about it?¡±


    Just like Zhuang Jie, she did not believe Zhuang Xian¡¯s words at all and was even waiting to see her make a fool of herself.


    ¡­


    On the way home, Lin En held onto Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and said with a pained tone, ¡°Good child, mother knows that you¡¯ve had a hard time all these years! Tell me which university you want to go to and I¡¯ll arrange it for you.¡±


    She felt that Zhuang Xian was just bluffing Zhuang Jie and An Ye. How could this child have an admission letter from a famous university?


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she knew that Lin En had misunderstood and quickly explained,¡± Mom! I wasn¡¯t lying just now. There are a few universities that have offered me admission. I just haven¡¯t thought about where to go!¡±


    Lin En grabbed her hand and said in surprise, ¡°Really?¡±


    Zhuang Hang also looked at her. ¡°Weren¡¯t you lying to them?¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. ¡°Do I look like the kind of person who would lie? Besides, why would I lie to them? Am I not afraid of being slapped in the face?¡±


    As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed them the photos of the acceptance letters sent to her by East China University, Capital University, and Saint Capital University.


    The evidence was in front of them, and Lin En¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock. ¡°My God, baby! How did you do it? How can you be so outstanding! Mom is about to cry!¡±


    Zhuang Xian held Lin En¡¯s hand and explained slowly, ¡°My grades were already very good when I was in the orphanage. I often represented City H in some domestic quiz competitions. It¡¯s probably because my grades were too good that they wanted me to go to their school.¡±


    As soon as she said that she was participating in the competition, Zhuang Hang believed her. After all, these things could be found on the internet. There was no need to lie about this.


    It was just that when Lin En and Zhuang Ming went to the orphanage, they had not paid much attention to this aspect. Moreover, Zhuang Xian was a low-key person, so they overlooked this point. Now that Zhuang Xian had brought it up, Lin En also thought about it.


    ¡°I almost forgot. Director Zhang told me and your father that Xian¡¯s grades are pretty good!¡±


    Lin En looked at Hang beside her, her eyes were excited. ¡°It¡¯s more than just ¡®not bad,¡¯ my precious daughter is an invisible and low-key super university nerd!¡±


    Lin En¡¯s excitement did not last long. As soon as she thought about how much effort Zhuang Xian had put behind all these outstanding achievements, her heart ached.


    As she thought of this, she hugged Zhuang Xian tightly. ¡°Mommy¡¯s good girl! It¡¯s been hard on you all these years. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s actual situation was not as difficult as Lin en had thought. The old man had been helping her all this time, and she was also an extremely smart person. It was not difficult for her to get such good results.


    However, she had too many disguises on her, and she couldn¡¯t tell them anything else yet, so she could only choose to keep her mouth shut.


    Coming out of Lin En¡¯s arms, Zhuang Xian said to her in a serious tone, ¡°It¡¯s the luckiest thing in my life to have met you. Thank you, Mom!¡±

 Chapter 15

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Hang looked at the mother-daughter pair and teased, ¡°Alright, alright. This is a good thing. Why do you make it so sad?¡±


    ¡°You little brat, what do you know!¡± Lin En glared at her son, but in the end, she held back the tears that were about to flow out.


    By the time they reached home, Judge had already sent the gown over, along with all the new items for this season that Zhuang Xian had given to Lin En.


    She had found an excuse to give back to the members, and Lin En did not suspect anything. Looking at her mother¡¯s happy face, Zhuang Xian also smiled. These were all small matters. As long as her family was happy, she was willing to do anything.


    When it was time for dinner, Zhuang Xian noticed that Zhuang Ming was still not home. She took the initiative to ask, ¡°Mom, is Dad going to work overtime today and not come back for dinner?¡±


    Lin En was holding her phone and thinking about this matter. Just as she was about to speak to Zhuang Xian, the Butler at the door walked in. ¡°Madam! An important guest has arrived!¡±


    Honored guest?


    Lin En was puzzled. Although she did not know who it was, she still tidied her clothes, got up, and walked out. She asked in a low voice, ¡°Who is it?¡± Are they the old master¡¯s guests?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the chairman of the Mo group, Mo Qian, President Mo!¡± Uncle Chang replied in a low voice.


    Lin En¡¯s heart skipped a beat. This was an impressive figure!


    If the Ming En group under Zhuang Ming was the rising star of City H and was one of the top 100 companies in the country, then Mo Qian¡¯s Mo Group was the most prosperous and towering tree in the domestic business circle! He was the boss of the dragon and a hundred-year legend!


    As she hurried to the front hall, Zhuang Ming had already come in with Mo Qian. Lin En¡¯s heart slowly calmed down when he saw the two of them talking and laughing.


    Mo Qian was the legend of the entire Mo Corporation. He was already ranked on the world¡¯s richest list at a young age, and he was also the crown of the top ten young entrepreneurs in the country.


    There were many legends about this person. They said that he was a business genius, the pride of City H, and the pride of the Mo family! He was handsome and clean. Although he had many admirers, he had never had any scandals!


    Such a person had too much light on him, and ordinary people might not be able to reach him even in a few lifetimes.


    The only flaw was that he had a strange disease at the age of 16. His calf would stiffen from time to time and he would not be able to move. In serious cases, he would fall to the ground.


    The Mo family had found famous doctors from all over the world for him, but none of them could cure his illness. In order not to let others see his ugly state when he fell, Mo Qian chose to place himself in a wheelchair. Other than the necessary rehabilitation training, he didn¡¯t walk.


    Lin En walked toward them in a dignified and magnanimous manner. She nodded to Mo Qian to express her goodwill and greeted him politely, ¡°Boss Mo!¡±


    She glared at Zhuang Ming as she said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that President Mo was coming over to our house? What if we disregard him?¡±


    Zhuang Ming touched the back of his head and said naively, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. During the meeting in the afternoon, President Mo said that he wanted to come over and visit! I forgot to tell you, haha!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I ate a few of CEO Zhuang¡¯s cookies in the afternoon and guessed that the Zhuang family¡¯s food must be delicious too, so I shamelessly followed him here. I hope you don¡¯t mind, Madam Zhuang.¡± Mo Qian said.


    Lin En led the way. ¡°What are you saying, President Mo? it¡¯s our honor to have you here.¡±


    Looking at the polite exchanges between these upper-class people, Mo Xi had become accustomed to it. After all, wherever their President Mo went, he would have this kind of ostentatious display.


    However, this Zhuang couple was different from those people who flattered and fawned over them. They were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a tacit understanding and beauty between the couple.


    Although the Mo family had a large business, Mo Qian had never seen his parents get along with each other in a really friendly manner. Deep down, he yearned for a harmonious and beautiful relationship like Zhuang Ming and Lin En¡¯s, where they supported and relied on each other.


    So, the main reason Mo Qian came was to see what the famous model couple in City H looked like. He also wanted more of the cookie that he had eaten in the afternoon, which suited his taste.

 Chapter 16

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The moment Mo Qian entered the living room, he saw Zhuang Xian. He had investigated the Zhuang family and knew that they had adopted a new girl, and she must be the one in front of him.


    As they had not prepared anything beforehand, they were all home-cooked dishes. Lin En arranged for Mo Qian to take a seat. ¡°It¡¯s a simple meal, please don¡¯t mind it, President Mo.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind. It¡¯s just right for me.¡±


    As everyone was talking, Zhuang Xian walked to her seat and nodded to Mo Qian in greeting.


    Looking at the smile on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face, Mo Qian was stunned. This smile was slowly overlapping with the smile of the important person in his memory!


    He should have met Zhuang Xian before!


    Mo Qian¡¯s dazed look did not escape Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. Such impolite behavior should not appear in this man in the host¡¯s house. Could it be that he was not feeling well?


    While Zhuang Xian was guessing in her heart, she asked, ¡°Mr. Mo?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words brought Mo Qian back to his senses. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Zhuang¡¯s family atmosphere reminds me of my childhood. I was distracted for a moment.¡±


    No one took Mo Qian¡¯s polite words seriously. Zhuang Ming chimed in with a few words and changed the topic.


    The dinner was a harmonious one, but Mo Qian¡¯s gaze would sweep over Zhuang Xian from time to time.


    Coming out of the Zhuang family, Mo Xi pushed Mo Qian¡¯s smart wheelchair and lowered his head to listen to the other party¡¯s words. ¡°Go and investigate what happened back then, especially the little girl who saved me. I want all the information!¡±


    ¡°Young master, do you still have any doubts? Didn¡¯t that girl confirm it already?¡± Mo Xi asked doubtfully.


    Mo Qian turned the ring on his finger. His pair of amorous phoenix eyes contained a storm that could easily tear people apart.


    ¡°There are still many suspicious points about what happened back then. The things in that woman¡¯s hands can¡¯t convince me. I want you to investigate again, carefully.¡± As he thought of Zhuang Xian¡¯s familiar smile, Mo Qian added, ¡°Also, look into the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter.¡±


    Mo Xi nodded and respectfully replied, ¡± Yes, young master!¡±


    The Zhuang family.


    Mo Qian did not hide the few times he looked at Zhuang Xian, and the Zhuang family saw it. After sending her off, the couple locked themselves in the room and whispered to each other.


    The husband and wife both thought that Mo Qian might be interested in Zhuang Xian, but they had no intention of stopping him. Of course, they also had no intention of playing matchmaker.


    After all, to Lin En, Zhuang Xian was still young and was not in a hurry to get married. Everything would be fine as long as it went with the flow. Zhuang Ming also did not need to sacrifice Zhuang Xian to fight for cooperation with the Mo Corporation.


    Speaking of cooperation, Zhuang Ming briefly told Lin En about the cooperation with the Mo Corporation. He then remembered the call from the old mansion and later sighed. ¡°The old lady said that we should bring Zhuang Xian to see her.¡±


    Lin En frowned. ¡°What is she trying to do? She wants to criticize our adopted daughter?¡±


    Zhuang Ming did not answer. Instead, he asked another question in a low voice. ¡°Do you want Zhuang Xian to be on the family tree?¡±


    Lin En looked at him and said with certainty, ¡°Of course. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be unfair for Xian to be given the surname Zhuang?¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s expression darkened as he rubbed his tired eyes. ¡°That¡¯s right, then old Madam won¡¯t be able to avoid this.¡±


    The room was quiet for a moment. After a while, Lin En seemed to have made up her mind and pulled Zhuang Ming out of the room.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, she walked over. ¡°In a few days, your father and I will take you to the old residence to see your grandma, okay?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked into Lin En¡¯s eyes, she could not help but think of her previous life.


    In her previous life, it was also because of her surname that her family had suffered a lot from that old lady¡¯s cold face. This time, she had to meet that old lady appropriately.


    ¡°Sure, do you need me to prepare anything?¡± Zhuang Xian smiled obediently.


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s bright smile, Lin En¡¯s heart softened. She raised her hand and touched Zhuang Xian¡¯s face, saying, ¡°You don¡¯t need to prepare anything. You have me and your father.¡±


    Zhuang Hang, who was sitting on the side with his phone in his hand, replied, ¡°That¡¯s going to be a lot of trouble. With Aunt around, will the old lady let us live peacefully?¡±


    Lin En glared at him and scolded, ¡°Go and play with your phone! How annoying.¡±


    Zhuang Hang turned his face away and continued, ¡°Third brother said that he doesn¡¯t have any plans for the time being. He¡¯s also free at school, so he would come back and rest for a few days.¡±


    Zhuang Huai was someone who ran around a lot all day, so he didn¡¯t have time to rest. It was because he heard his second brother¡¯s praise for his new sister, who had just arrived home, and was curious, that he decided to rush back to see her.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    This was a good thing. Lin En¡¯s gloominess was swept away, and she clapped happily. ¡°Sure, I haven¡¯t seen him for almost a month. I miss him!¡±


    Then, Lin En pulled Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand over and started to ramble on about Zhuang Huai, the new and popular young man in the entertainment industry.


    Her third brother, Zhuang Huai, was a top star in her past life. Of her three brothers, he was the one she got along with the most! It was just that in her past life when she had just joined the Zhuang family, she even had some disagreements with this third brother!


    As Zhuang Xian recalled the events of her previous life, her eyes were filled with joy. Even though she had suffered a lot of pain and torture later on, what she could not forget were the happy days she had spent with the Zhuang family. Her three brothers had loved her in different ways, but their love was identical.


    Big brother was steady and considered everything. Second brother was careful and protected her in secret. Third brother had a carefree personality and could play with her constantly.


    They were the best brothers in the world!


    After chatting with Lin En for a long time, Zhuang Xian finally returned to her room.


    Zhuang Xian had a habit of reading before going to bed. Even when she was holding a 10-centimeter-thick Go manual, she could still read it with great interest. She had not touched a chess piece for a few days, so her hands inevitably itched. She took out the chess board from her suitcase and began to play with herself.


    When Zhuang Ming gently knocked on the door of her room, he saw her playing chess.


    Interrupted, Zhuang Xian raised her head and saw that it was Zhuang Ming. She smiled and asked, ¡°Father, why are you looking for me at this time?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s something. This morning, you ¡­¡± Zhuang Ming paused for a moment. Even someone as calm as him would feel embarrassed.


    Seeing that Zhuang Ming couldn¡¯t explain his real purpose for a long time, Lin En stood outside the door and continued, ¡°Your father wants you to make more biscuits tomorrow. He likes them, but he¡¯s too embarrassed to tell you directly!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En, who had a sly smile on her face, and then looked at Zhuang Ming. She smiled gently and said, ¡°Do you need to talk about such a small thing together? I¡¯ll continue to make it from tomorrow. There are many other types I can gradually make for you to eat.¡±


    ¡°And I¡¯m very happy that Daddy likes it.¡± Zhuang Xian added softly.


    Zhuang Ming was a little embarrassed by the mother and daughter¡¯s teasing. Just as he was wondering how to resolve it, he saw the Go board in front of Zhuang Xian. ¡°You¡¯re interested in Go? When we have time, we can exchange pointers.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded. ¡°Sure, I look forward to it, Dad.¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s heart felt as sweet as honey as he looked at his obedient and adorable little daughter. This was a feeling that none of his three sons could give him. As expected, a daughter was a parent¡¯s sweet little jacket!


    ¡°By the way, your mother has already told me about what happened at the mall today!¡± Zhuang Ming¡¯s brows furrowed slightly at the mention of this. ¡°Those people from the Ye family aren¡¯t easy to deal with. Ye Zheng and I have been having some business conflicts recently. For safety¡¯s sake, you should be careful when you go out. It¡¯s better to be safe than sorry.¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to Zhuang Ming¡¯s words and nodded her head seriously. ¡°I understand, Dad.¡±


    She watched Zhuang Ming and Lin En slowly walk out of the room, the smile on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face remained for a long time. In her previous life, why did she not realize that her father was such a good person? And so considerate.


    She touched the black chess piece in her hand and thought about Zhuang Ming¡¯s advice. She muttered, ¡°The Ye family! Ye Xin ¡­ An Ye, Zhuang Jie! Come at me together, I¡¯ll crush you to death as soon as possible to relieve the hatred in my heart!¡±


    She exerted a little force and the black chess piece was crushed into pieces, just like what happened to these people.


    When Zhuang Xian received Li Qin¡¯s call, she was in the kitchen researching her new dish!


    These days, her father especially liked the various desserts she made, and he was even going crazy about them. She didn¡¯t know that her father liked sweet food so much!


    There were many things she didn¡¯t know. The person who loved sweets was someone else.


    Putting on her Bluetooth earphone, Zhuang Xian answered the call. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    When Li Qin heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice, he quickly said coyly, ¡°Sister! Don¡¯t you miss me? It¡¯s been a few days, why didn¡¯t you give me a call?¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to his slightly complaining tone and ruthlessly said, ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly. If I¡¯m not by your side, you must be having fun!¡±

 Chapter 18

    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything, Sis!¡± Li Qin denied it. After selling out the good girl, it was time to get down to business. Li Qin said in a serious tone. ¡°Sister! I¡¯ve found out that two forces are investigating you currently, and I can confirm that one of them is from the Ye family! There¡¯s another group that we can¡¯t be sure of at the moment. They¡¯re very mysterious!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Li Qin¡¯s words, she stopped what she was doing and asked in surprise, ¡°No way to confirm? Why?¡±


    The only person the Ye family could think of to investigate her was Ye Xin.


    Who else could that mysterious force be? Who would want to investigate her? That was so strong that even Li Qin couldn¡¯t do anything about it!


    A few people flashed through Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind, but she shook her head and rejected them all.


    Zhuang Xian was silent for a while, then ordered Li Qin, ¡°Let them investigate! Give them my identity on the surface and don¡¯t worry about anything else. ¡±


    ¡°I know, sister. Alright,¡± Li Qin replied and chatted with her for a while before hanging up.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s hacked database on the computer and pursed his lips. ¡°Check it! Check it! If you can find half of my sister¡¯s real identity, I¡¯ll take your surname. ¡±


    Ming ¡®En Corporation.


    Mo Xi looked at his young master, who had eaten two boxes of CEO Zhuang¡¯s desserts, and helplessly wanted to hold his forehead. How was he going to explain to CEO Zhuang when he returned later?


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t care what Mo Xi was thinking. He swallowed the last piece of pastry, wiped his hands, and said, ¡°This pastry is really good. It¡¯s sweet but not greasy, and it¡¯s crispy and delicious.¡±


    Mo Xi continued, ¡°Young master if you like it that much, why don¡¯t you just tell the fourth Miss directly? We¡¯ll ask her to cook for you at home. ¡±


    The image of Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful side profile flashed across Mo Qian¡¯s mind. He smiled evilly. ¡°How can I accept that?¡±


    Mo Xi was speechless.


    The next morning, when Zhuang Xian came back from her morning exercise, she suddenly noticed that there was a new group chat on her WeChat. This WeChat number was Zhuang Xian¡¯s backup number, and she only added people she was close to.


    The group chat named ¡°My baby Zhuang Xian¡¯s family support club¡± was still being refreshed. Zhuang Xian clicked on it and read all the messages that popped up.


    ¡°This will be our family chat group from now on! My precious sons, come out and welcome our family¡¯s little princess. ¡±


    The first to speak was the active third son of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Huai.


    ¡°I¡¯m coming, I¡¯m coming! Welcome to our house, fourth sister! I¡¯m your third brother, Zhuang Huai!¡± He especially emphasized the words ¡®third brother¡¯, and after the text was a row of neatly arranged emojis of scattering flowers and clapping.


    ¡°Welcome!¡± Zhuang Hang, who had been staying at home, was a little perfunctory.


    ¡°Welcome home, fourth sister! I¡¯ll bring you a gift when I come back. ¡± Zhuang Bai was overseas, and it was already late at night there. Even the huge time difference could not stop him from responding to his mother¡¯s call.


    Zhuang Xian smiled as she replied, ¡°Thank you, brothers! There¡¯s no need for gifts. Everyone, hurry home. I¡¯ll make delicious food for you all!¡±


    Zhuang Ming appeared just in time. He sent a thumbs-up emoji as if he agreed with Zhuang Xian¡¯s suggestion.


    Zhuang Xian smiled and sent a cute smiling emoji.


    Zhuang Bai looked at the message on his phone and a smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself, ¡®This sister of mine is quite cute! Have Father and second brother, been conquered?¡¯


    Zhuang Xian took the initiative to add her eldest brother and third brother¡¯s WeChat in the group chat. This way, the WeChat accounts of the five of them were all lined up on her friends¡¯ interface.


    It was a rare free time in the afternoon. Zhuang Xian sat in the yard reading a book. The sun shone through the shade of the trees and fell carefully and gently on her face.


    Lin En was holding a glass of orange juice in her hand as she looked at Zhuang Xian from afar. She thought to herself, ¡®Isn¡¯t this child a little too boring?¡¯


    It had been almost a week since Zhuang Xian came to the Zhuang family, but she had not seen her hanging out with her friends. She had not even seen her on the phone with anyone.


    Lin En walked up and placed the cup beside Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. She asked her softly, ¡°Xian ¡®er! Don¡¯t you have any friends in City H? Why haven¡¯t I heard you mention your friends?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was slightly taken aback. Why would her mother suddenly ask her this question?


    ¡°I do, mom.¡± She sat up straight and smiled.


    If her many subordinates and business partners could be considered friends, then Zhuang Xian had quite a few friends.


    Zhuang Xian understood the worry in Lin En¡¯s eyes. Her mother was afraid that she would not have any friends by her side, and that she would be too lonely, which would affect her physical and mental development.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart warmed. Lin En was really as loving to her as ever.


    ¡°Mom, I want to go out to meet a friend in the afternoon. Don¡¯t wait for me for dinner!¡± Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En and said with a smile.


    It just so happened that Wang Yang, her subordinate, had told her yesterday that there was a very important friendly match in the supercar League today, and he wanted to invite her to participate. This gave her a reason to make Lin En believe her words.


    Lin En heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She knew that her precious daughter was so outstanding, how could she not have any friends?


    However, on second thought, she said with some worry, ¡°You¡¯re not coming back for dinner? Where does this friend of yours live? Where do you guys want to go? I¡¯ll get the family¡¯s chauffeur to go with you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the nervous Lin En with a smile and held her hand. She said helplessly, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be so nervous. We¡¯re just strolling around the city. He can drive, so there¡¯s no need to trouble the driver. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be back soon, okay?¡±


    Lin En touched her little face and pursed her lips. ¡°Okay, Mom knows you¡¯re a good and sensible child. It¡¯s not safe outside at night, so remember to come back early.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and raised her fair hands. ¡°I swear I¡¯ll come home early and not let Mom worry.¡±


    Lin En was amused by her serious look. She pinched her nose and said lovingly, ¡°You! You only know how to act obediently. ¡±


    When Wang Yang saw the boss, he was still a little nervous. He was fully in charge of this friendly match and he couldn¡¯t mess it up.


    ¡°Sister Xian, you¡¯ll be the last to appear. Today is both a friendly match with the advertising company and an exhibition match. Please be more casual!¡± Wang Yang said respectfully and led the way.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the competition schedule in her hand and nodded. She said lightly, ¡°Well done.¡±


    As she passed through the entrance, Zhuang Xian heard a familiar voice and stopped in her tracks. She turned sideways and hid behind the door, looking at the man in the distance through the half-open door.


    Gao Peng? Seeing a familiar person made her recall the past.


    In his past life, Gao Peng was a good-for-nothing rich man. He had money and time, and car racing was one of his many hobbies.


    With the popularity of her Alliance, it was not surprising that Gao Peng could appear here.


    Zhuang Xian recalled Gao Peng¡¯s cruel look in her previous life, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes.


    Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She had a ¡®good idea¡¯ to deal with Gao Peng. Zhuang Xian pointed at Gao Peng¡¯s name on the schedule and said coldly, ¡°Change his position and let the crazy man in the team run after him.¡±


    Madman was a race driver just like his name, his running style was fierce. Even professional race drivers didn¡¯t dare to compare with him.


    Wang Yang was shocked. He asked, ¡°Why, sister Xian? Did this Gao Peng offend you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at him with a dangerous look in her beautiful eyes.


    Wang Yang quickly realized that he had made a stupid mistake. He quickly lowered his head and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sister Xian. I shouldn¡¯t have asked.¡± Back when Zhuang Xian was leading the team in the race, she was a woman of her word. No one had dared to question her decision.


    Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze and turned around to look at the spacious and cool racing track. ¡°Let the crazy person run with him properly, as long as he doesn¡¯t die! Do it well and don¡¯t let anyone find out.¡± Her tone was extremely cold, like a sharp sword made of ice. Wang Yang couldn¡¯t help but shiver.


    The arena was very lively. Mo Qian looked around and rubbed his ears. He had been pulled over by his good brother Xiang Nan to watch the competition.


    Xiang Nan looked at his slightly furrowed brows and said jokingly, ¡°Young master Mo! Since you¡¯re already out, have some fun. Don¡¯t just think about working and earning money all day. There¡¯s a match for the crazy person to watch today!¡±Xiang Nan said as he handed Mo Qian a glass of wine.


    Mo Qian took the glass with a faint smile. Only Xiang Nan dared to mention racing in front of him.


    Before he got this strange disease, he was also a well-known racing driver in City H. The past could not be tracked. Mo Qian raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, not saying a word.


    A few days ago, Gao Peng received the invitation to the supercar Alliance¡¯s exhibition match. He was a Platinum member here, and it was finally his turn to show his face here this time. He was so happy that he almost took off on the spot!

 Chapter 20

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The supercar Alliance was the largest racing Alliance in City H, and not everyone could get an invitation to the race. After showing off to his friends, Gao Peng was satisfied and brought along a few of his new girlfriends to participate in the race. He planned to go to the hotel with them after he was done here.


    This extremely hypocritical scumbag had hidden his true colors very well in her past life and had managed to deceive both Zhuang Xian and Ye Xin.


    The match soon began. The Alliance¡¯s expenses this time weren¡¯t small. The huge sound system played intense drum music! Fireworks! Colored ribbons! A decorated car! A maskot! All of this elevated the atmosphere of the venue!


    Mo Qian and Xiang Nan¡¯s position had the best view of the field. Mo Qian looked at the Madman¡¯s racing car on the track and leaned forward slightly. Xiang Nan was beside him, waving his hands and shouting excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s coming, it¡¯s coming! It¡¯s about to start!¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at him and said in disdain, ¡°Why are you so excited! It¡¯s just a friendly match today. Do you expect it to be a serious game?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care! I¡¯m a die-hard fan of the mad scientist!¡± Xiang Nan waved the flag with the madman¡¯s name on it and blended in with the cheers.


    ¡°The mad scientist¡¯s running style is indeed very brutal, but it¡¯s not like there¡¯s no way to counter him. As long as he meets an opponent who¡¯s good at calculation and not afraid of death.¡± As Mo Qian spoke, he gave Xiang Nan an evil smile. ¡°Then he¡¯s finished!¡±


    This kind of behavior in front of his fans was indeed not very proper, but Mo Qian was just so willful.


    Xiang Nan glared at him and thought, ¡°Young master Mo, that talent isn¡¯t something that just anyone can have!¡±


    Of course, he knew that Mo Qian was right. He said helplessly, ¡°How can there be so many geniuses? A person like the mad scientist is already very outstanding!¡±


    In the Alliance¡¯s Lounge, Zhuang Xian had changed into her racing clothes. The red racing clothes wrapped around Zhuang Xian¡¯s curvaceous figure perfectly. Her long hair casually fell on her shoulders, making her gorgeous face even more charming. She was as beautiful as a fairy!


    The half-opened door of the resting room was pushed open. Wang Yang stood anxiously beside Zhuang Xian and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked like the sky was falling as he reported to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Madman won¡¯t be able to pass the physical examination. He drank all night yesterday and the alcohol content in his body is over the limit. He won¡¯t be able to compete.¡±


    Wang Yang felt that he was an unlucky scapegoat. How could he encounter such a terrible thing?


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression turn cold, Wang Yang swallowed nervously and said in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sister Xian, I didn¡¯t take good care of my team members!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the scene on the screen in silence.


    It was almost time for Madman to go on stage, but he just had to run over at this time to tell her about this situation. Were all the managers in the team dead?


    It was already too late to find someone to replace him at the last minute!


    Zhuang Xian walked out with the helmet in her hand and said to Wang Yang coldly, ¡°I¡¯ll take his place this time. You know the rules of the team. I don¡¯t want to see this happen again!¡±


    Wang Yang quickly caught up with Zhuang Xian and wiped the sweat off his face with a tissue. Thinking that he was finally saved, he lowered his head and replied respectfully, ¡°Alright, sister Xian! I promise that this situation will not happen again!¡±


    After escorting Zhuang Xian to the entrance, Wang Yang realized that the back of his shirt was already drenched in sweat. Zhuang Xian¡¯s disdainful aura was too strong. She was indeed the boss of the supercar Alliance, the genius of the race track, and the only King of the supercar Alliance!


    Zhuang Xian appeared on the big screen in a fiery red racing suit. Gao Peng, who had been waiting on the track for a long time, smirked when he saw Zhuang Xian. His perverted eyes fell on Zhuang Xian¡¯s hot body and he whistled at her teasingly like a hooligan!


    When Xiang Nan saw the woman and Gao Peng on the screen, he was a little confused. ¡°The madman is not running anymore?¡±


    Looking at Gao Peng¡¯s face, Xiang Nan rolled his eyes speechlessly. ¡°This bastard can also participate in the supercar Alliance¡¯s exhibition match?¡±


    Mo Qian looked at the fiery-red figure on the stage. For some reason, he suddenly felt that she looked familiar. His memory was extremely good, so he must have seen this woman before.


    Hearing Xiang Nan¡¯s complaint, Mo Qian asked, ¡°What? Do you know him?¡±


    Xiang Nan nodded. Just as he was about to say something to Mo Qian, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the scene.

 Chapter 21

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    They turned to look at the big screen at the same time and saw the hot beauty raise her right hand and give Gao Peng the middle finger when he whistled at her.


    This arrogant gesture that expressed ¡®International Friendship¡¯ once again ignited the atmosphere of the venue. In the deafening cheers and screams, Xiang Nan smiled and glanced at Mo Qian.¡±This beauty is quite a wimp!¡±


    Mo Qian looked at that fair and slender hand, and the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted into a smile of understanding. He already knew who she was.


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian still did not know that her secret identity had already been seen through by a certain someone!


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian, who had already gotten into the race car. He rubbed the corner of his mouth with his fingers and laughed, ¡°This woman is not simple.¡±


    Xiang Nan was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Mo Qian stopped talking and watched the match with interest.


    With the starting gun, Zhuang Xian¡¯s car sped away, but Gao Peng was a second slower.


    Zhuang Xian thought about Gao Peng¡¯s disgusting face and slowly released her foot on the accelerator. If she didn¡¯t kill this scumbag, she wouldn¡¯t be able to face her past life.


    Looking at the car that was slowing down, Gao Peng muttered in his heart, ¡°That¡¯s all there is to it.¡±


    However, the next moment, Zhuang Xian¡¯s car was already close to him. The roaring wind swept past the tiny distance between the two cars. In the next second, an ear-piercing sound rang out!


    Gao Peng¡¯s face tightened, thinking that this woman must be crazy! Even if you want to die, don¡¯t drag him along!


    He didn¡¯t know that the next five-minute race would become a nightmare for the rest of his life, so much so that he would never dare to race again!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s driving skills were one of the best in the world! Not to mention compared to trash like Gao Peng!


    She controlled the car with ease and skill, and when she approached Gao Peng, he felt a suffocating pressure. At times, she was leading him by a parking space!


    When he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s perfect drift in the arena, Mo Qian couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Good move! Beautiful!¡±


    On the side, Xiang Nan looked at him in surprise as if he had seen a ghost. Was this still Mo Qian? Was he possessed by something sinister?


    Mo Qian turned his head to look at him and said with some excitement, ¡°Her drift calculation just now was perfect! She¡¯s the kind of genius I told you about!¡±


    Xiang Nan could also see how powerful this woman was. Even his idol, the madman, might not be able to outrun her!


    This woman¡¯s way of driving was so strong that Gao Peng could only be teased and humiliated by her on the field!


    Gao Peng was almost driven crazy by the car in front of him. Who the hell told him that this was just a friendly match, an exhibition match? This rhythm was like trying to take his little life. Either the car would be destroyed and he would die, or he would be scared to death!


    Gao Peng¡¯s hair was already soaked in a cold sweat, and so was his back. He did not dare relax or make any mistakes, because, under the pressure of the car in front of him, he would have to say goodbye to the world if he was not careful!


    ¡°F*ck! Was this B*tch crazy? What deep hatred do I have with you for you to play with me like this!¡± Gao Peng¡¯s foul mouth could only be heard by himself.


    When people were extremely nervous and afraid, they would relieve their fear by amplifying their voices.


    As the audience watched the match, their screams and exclamations seemed to flip the roof over their heads! Looking at the fiery red Phantom in the arena, they all thought that this was a real performance!


    The indoor race track wasn¡¯t very long. It was more about the difficulty of the track and the completion of the contestants. Gao Peng had no other choice. The last dignity of a racer made him not choose to stop, and he couldn¡¯t afford to lose face!


    However, stepping on the brakes and crashing into a stake beside the track was the only choice he had in his subconscious mind for the sake of his life!


    The hard stake was broken in the middle, and the violent impact deformed the front of the racing car. The airbag and the broken window smashed toward Gao Peng. In the cheers, no one cared about Gao Peng¡¯s life except for the rescue team at the scene.


    A car race was a race where life and death were unpredictable. If you dared to race, you had to be prepared for an accident. This was something everyone present understood!


    When the car Zhuang Xian was driving crossed the finish line, Gao Peng had already fainted from the impact of the airbag. After the car stopped, Zhuang Xian saw the rescue scene in the distance through the rearview mirror.


    She let out a heavy breath and leaned back slightly in the car seat. She knew that this level of impact would not kill Gao Peng, but it should be enough for him to suffer!

 Chapter 22

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t even look at the fireworks in the sky as she got off the car and left!


    The helmet on her head was never taken off from the beginning to the end, so no one knew who she was except for the people in the Alliance.


    Wang Yang took the helmet from Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and raised his hand to stop the people outside who were trying to see Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian took the water from the staff and took a sip. She asked, ¡°How is he?¡±


    Wang Yang knew that she was asking Gao Peng, so he replied in a low voice, ¡°He¡¯s not dead, he¡¯s been sent to the nearest hospital! The team doctor said that he should have broken a few ribs.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s face was cold and she didn¡¯t say anything. Wang Yang swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhuang Xian in fear as he continued, ¡°Sister Xian¡¯s driving skills are getting better and better. It would be better if you could come to the team and give us a lesson.¡±


    ¡°You should deal with the madman today first! Don¡¯t even think about taking it lightly, I¡¯m watching!¡± Zhuang Xian looked at him coldly.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare, sister Xian! This time, it¡¯s indeed his fault, so you should punish him!¡± Wang Yang said with a sad face. This time, he had been destroyed by that kid!


    ¡°If you don¡¯t handle it well, you don¡¯t have to be the manager anymore, understand?¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s tone was cold and hard. Wang Yang was so scared that he almost peed in his pants.


    After sending Wang Yang away, she arrived at the underground car park. It was already past 10 pm. Zhuang Xian left in a hurry. She had promised Lin En that she would return home early.


    The Alliance driver, who was going to send Zhuang Xian home, followed behind her silently. There was a broken light above the parking lot, so the light was a little dim.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hearing had always been very good. The sudden sound of messy footsteps made her immediately alert. She reacted very quickly, turning her head to the side and instantly dodging the swinging tube. Then, she lifted her foot and kicked him, sending him flying like a rag.


    The driver quickly approached her and asked anxiously, ¡°Miss, are you alright?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at the people who had surrounded them. They were all dressed in black and had black masks on. It was obvious that they had come prepared.


    Zhuang Xian laughed coldly and looked at them in disdain. ¡°Your employer isn¡¯t very good. Did she only find a few people? It¡¯s not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. ¡±


    ¡°B*tch, I¡¯ll beat you up until you can¡¯t remember your last name. Let¡¯s see if you can still be so arrogant!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s attack together! There are only two of them!¡± The thugs glared at Zhuang Xian and charged at them with their weapons raised.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t bother to talk to them. She took a step forward and started fighting with them. The driver also helped Zhuang Xian to hold one of them back.


    Mo Qian followed Zhuang Xian down the stairs. He had noticed the thugs even before Zhuang Xian did. Just as he was about to ask Mo Xi to help, he saw Zhuang Xian send the man flying with a kick. He was shocked by the strength and posture of Zhuang Xian¡¯s kick. This was something that could not be done without more than ten years of effort!


    In less than two minutes, Zhuang Xian had already beaten him up so badly that he could only lie on the ground and wail in pain.


    Sensing the gazes from behind her, Zhuang Xian slowly turned around and saw Mo Qian.


    She was stunned. ¡®Why was Mo Qian here? Did he see how I fought just now?¡¯


    For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen. Being stared at by Zhuang Xian with such a vigilant look, Mo Qian felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He smiled and broke the silence first. ¡°I was thinking of being the hero to save the beauty, but I realized that fourth Miss doesn¡¯t need it.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian looked at him, many thoughts flashed through her mind. When she saw the teasing look in his eyes, or rather, the teasing intent, Zhuang Xian chose not to move until her enemy moved!


    ¡°Is President Mo here to watch the competition?¡± Zhuang Xian pretended to look at Mo Qian with a relaxed expression.


    Mo Qian moved his wheelchair forward a little and looked at her with a faint smile. ¡°That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t expect fourth Miss to be so interested in racing. And you¡¯re so good at it!¡±


    Zhuang Xian could not see through this man anymore. Did he know something? Or was he trying to trick her?


    ¡°It¡¯s just a bit of defensive martial arts, it¡¯s nothing. ¡± Zhuang Xian said faintly as she looked down at her watch.


    Mo Qian noticed her actions and seemed to have understood something. He said considerately, ¡°Fourth Miss if you are in a hurry, you can leave now. If there is any chance in the future, we could talk about car racing again.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked straight at him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes hiding some coldness.


    This Mo Qian must have already guessed that the person just now was her!

 Chapter 23

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    After watching the two of them look at each other for a long time, the driver asked softly, ¡°Miss? Are we still going?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and nodded slightly at Mo Qian. She then said to the driver, ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡±. As she spoke, she swiftly opened the car door, got in, and left.


    Mo Xi didn¡¯t understand why Mo Qian would let Zhuang Xian go just like that. After all, Mo Qian had thrown Xiang Nan off to stop her.


    ¡°Young master, are you just going to let her go like this? This Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young Miss is not as simple as she looks on the surface. She has quite a lot of mysteries. ¡±


    Mo Qian watched as Zhuang Xian¡¯s car drove out of his sight. He then turned the ring on his hand, an action he would only do when he was excited. He said with interest, ¡°What¡¯s the hurry! Let¡¯s see what other surprises this fourth young lady will have that others do not know about. ¡±


    As the driver drove, he looked at Zhuang Xian through the rearview mirror. He swallowed and asked nervously, ¡°Miss, that person just now? Is it Mo Qian?¡±


    Zhuang Xian pressed her forehead, her expression calm. She only hummed in agreement.


    The driver thought that he had made a mistake, but after he confirmed it, he looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise and asked, ¡°Why would boss Mo appear in the underground parking lot of our Alliance?¡±


    A figure like Mo Qian would cause a sensation anywhere he appeared. When he only had an assistant by his side just now, even the driver didn¡¯t recognize him.


    Zhuang Xian did not answer the driver¡¯s question. Instead, she slowly fell into deep thought.


    No one knew that she was the behind-the-scenes boss of the supercar Alliance. On the surface, she was only the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family.


    Mo Qian probably didn¡¯t know her hidden identity. At most, he would guess that she was the one who had just entered the competition. Zhuang Xian thought to herself as she slowly sorted out the situation.


    ¡®If there¡¯s a chance in the future, we can talk about car racing again.¡¯ Zhuang Xian thought about what Mo Qian had just said. He wasn¡¯t someone who would talk nonsense, and she wasn¡¯t even close to him. Today was only their second time meeting, so what was there to talk about?


    Did this man have some other purpose? Zhuang Xian thought.


    Zhuang Xian was a little confused by Mo Qian¡¯s confusing and roundabout attitude. However, she could also feel a dual aura from him. It seemed like she had to be on her guard against this man.


    City H, Ren Xin Hospital.


    When the Gao couple rushed over, Gao Peng was still in the operating room. He was seriously injured. Four of his sternum were broken, and the wound on his left arm was so deep that the bone could be seen. When he was sent over, he was like a bloodied gourd.


    Gao Peng¡¯s mother cried so hard that she almost fainted. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, he¡¯ll get into trouble sooner or later if he plays like this! You see!¡± As she said this, she hit her husband a few times. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you discipline him? Look at what he¡¯s become!¡±


    Her cries echoed in the corridor. When the doctor came out, he frowned slightly and raised his hand to signal for them to be quiet. ¡°The patient¡¯s life is not in danger for the time being. Please calm down and remain quiet in the hospital.¡±


    Si Rong briefly explained Gao Peng¡¯s situation to them, and the general meaning was: that Gao Peng wouldn¡¯t die, but his injuries were very serious. He would have a strong concussion in the future and would have to stay in the intensive care unit.


    There was a racing Alliance next to their hospital, and every few days, injured people would be sent here. Si Rong was already used to it.


    After giving some instructions to the doctor on duty, Si Rong changed his clothes and was ready to go home. When he picked up his phone from his bag, he looked at the screen full of incoming calls and wondered, ¡®Is Xiang Nan crazy? Why did he make so many calls?¡¯


    He muttered to himself and called Xiang Nan back.


    Xiang Nan caught Mo Qian in the parking lot. He stared tiredly at the heartless man and said with a sad face, ¡°You disappeared when I wasn¡¯t paying attention. Why did you come down? What if an accident happened? I don¡¯t want to be beaten to death by your old man!¡±


    Mo Qian rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently, ¡°Whose father are you talking about?¡±


    Xiang Nan paused and swallowed his spit. He was too anxious and didn¡¯t pay attention to his words. He smiled and said, ¡°No one! I¡¯m not talking about you.¡±


    Xiang Nan¡¯s phone seemed to have sensed his embarrassment and rang at the right time. Xiang Nan pointed at Si Rong¡¯s caller ID and said, ¡°This kid hasn¡¯t been picking up my calls today. We¡¯re close to his hospital. Should we go and pick him up?¡±

 Chapter 24

    Mo Qian, Xiang Nan, and Si Rong were good friends who had grown up together. They had always been close, and it had been a long time since they had played together. Since Mo Qian was here today, Xiang Nan thought that they could get together, drink some wine, and chat.


    Mo Qian looked at the time, rubbed his tired eyes, and said to Xiang Nan indifferently, ¡°Forget it. I still have a few meetings to attend tomorrow. Si Rong is so busy with work every day, so please let him off.¡±


    Xiang Nan¡¯s phone was on speaker mode, so Si Rong heard what Mo Qian said. He laughed heartily. ¡°Thank you for your concern, big brother. I really can¡¯t make it today! I just saved a young racing man, and now he needs to go home and sleep to extend his life!¡±


    Mo Qian knew that Ren Xin hospital was very close to this place. He suddenly thought of Gao Peng. Could he be the young racer that Si Rong was talking about?


    ¡°Is that person dead?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    Si Rong was taken aback. ¡°Who?¡±


    Xiang Nan also reacted and couldn¡¯t help but smile. He gloated, ¡°The person you just saved was sent by the supercar Alliance, right? Did Gao Peng die?¡±


    Si Rong stopped in his tracks. He also thought things through and smiled. ¡°So, you guys know this person? He¡¯s not dead, but he has a few broken ribs and a 10-centimeter gash on his hand!¡±


    Xiang Nan laughed. ¡°Really? The kid deserves it. I¡¯ve never liked him!¡±


    Upon hearing Si Rong¡¯s words, Mo Qian said, ¡°Alright, hurry up and let Si Rong go back to rest. We¡¯ll have a drink together another day.¡±


    Si Rong agreed to Mo Qian¡¯s request so readily, that Xiang Nan hung up the phone swiftly. He said helplessly, ¡°Alright, I guess I¡¯ve become the annoying person.¡±


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s sullen face and silence, Xiang Nan thought that the young master was tired, so he called for someone to drive the car over and was prepared to send Mo Qian back.


    Mo Qian was only thinking about Zhuang Xian. She was such a good driver, and it was so obvious that she was teasing Gao Peng during the race. Did she have any personal grudges toward Gao Peng?


    It seemed that he would have to get someone to continue investigating her. After all, it had been a long time since he had met someone he was so interested in.


    The next morning, Zhuang Xian was woken up by her alarm clock. She had returned home late the day before, but Lin En did not have the heart to blame her. She only reminded her to be careful during this period and not to return home so late!


    Zhuang Xian did not tell Lin En about last night¡¯s incident. She did not want Lin En to worry about her, but she had to vent her anger.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the information her subordinates had sent her. The people who had attacked her yesterday were hired thugs by Zhuang Jie and An Ye. They had wanted to teach Zhuang Xian a lesson, but they didn¡¯t expect her to be so good at fighting.


    Zhuang Xian snorted coldly. These two shameless women. She had not yet made a move on them, and they had already started looking for thugs to stop her. If that was the case, then they could not blame her for being unkind!


    In the afternoon, when Zhuang Jie brought An Ye to the manor, she felt a little guilty about what happened yesterday.


    The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard. When Zhuang Xian came over with her computer, she saw An Ye moving toward Zhuang Hang. She didn¡¯t seem to know that her posture was too intimate, causing Zhuang Hang to frown and move to the other side.


    Zhuang Xian pulled An Ye and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t get so close to second brother in such hot weather. Can¡¯t you see that he¡¯s so hot and irritable?¡±


    At this moment, An Ye hated Zhuang Xian very much. Why did this woman want to go against her in every way? She always ruined her plans!


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brother Zhuang Hang, I was too engrossed!¡± An Ye pretended to be apologetic and said to Zhuang Hang, ¡°Brother Zhuang Hang, are you very hot? I¡¯ll fan you!¡±


    An Ye¡¯s plan failed, so she came up with another plan. She took the fan on the table and attentively fanned herself and Zhuang Hang.


    Zhuang Hang got up and avoided her. He frowned and said, ¡°Take care of yourself, I¡¯ll go and get some water.¡± With that, he quickly fled indoors as if he was hiding from the plague.


    If he wanted to be a good person to the end, he wouldn¡¯t want to stay with An Ye.


    He turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian, thinking that his sister knew him best.


    ¡°Brother Zhuang Hang, there¡¯s ¡­¡±


    An Ye didn¡¯t even have time to finish her words. Zhuang Hang quickly fled.

 Chapter 25

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Jie saw that Zhuang Hang ran away as soon as Zhuang Xian arrived. She suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhuang Xian¡¯s nose, and scolded, ¡°Bitch! What are you doing? You¡¯re ruining other people¡¯s business. Second brother is interested in An Ye. Why do you always want to make things difficult for him?¡±


    She narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhuang Xian dangerously. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind and she said in surprise, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re following second brother¡¯s suggestion!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie coldly and slapped away the hand that was pointing at her. She sneered, ¡°Is there something wrong with your eyes or is there something wrong with your brain? When did second brother say that he liked An Ye? Someone is sticking onto me and making me feel disgusted!¡±


    Since there was no one around, Zhuang Jie no longer hid her ill intentions toward Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want to play along with them anymore. She looked at An Ye, who was crying like a Pear Blossom in the rain, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face. ¡°Put away your white lotus act! No one here will fall for your tricks.¡±


    ¡°What are you saying, Zhuang Xian? How did I offend you for you to scold me like that?¡± An Ye hated Zhuang Xian to the core, but she still had to protect her weak and kind appearance in front of Zhuang Jie.


    Zhuang Jie stood in front of An Ye and yelled at Zhuang Xian, ¡°I¡¯m the one arguing with you, why are you yelling at An Ye?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie¡¯s protective stance and was a little speechless. Zhuang Jie was a little smart, but in front of a scheming person like An Ye, it was completely useless. She didn¡¯t even know that she was being used.


    ¡°You fool.¡± Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie coldly and said.


    ¡°What did you just say?¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Xian had just called her crazy, and now she was calling her an idiot! If it wasn¡¯t for An Ye holding her hand, she would have slapped her twice by now!


    ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can be impudent in front of me just because I¡¯m protecting you! I¡¯m the real lady of the Zhuang family, you¡¯re just a bastard from the orphanage. How dare you think of running to me and acting like a tyrant? Do you believe that I¡¯ll find someone to cripple you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to Zhuang Jie¡¯s harmless warning and looked at her indifferently. She laughed and said, ¡°Find someone to cripple me? Like those trash from last night?¡±


    Zhuang Jie glared at Zhuang Xian and was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by a pleasant voice.


    ¡°Who do you want to cripple?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian turned her head, she saw her third brother, who was dressed in a trendy outfit and looked extremely handsome.


    Zhuang Jie was shocked. She did not even have time to change the expression on her face. She called out with a twisted smile, ¡°Third brother!¡± Why was it that every time she quarreled with Zhuang Xian, she would be found out and questioned?


    Zhuang Jie finally adjusted her expression and asked obediently, ¡°You¡¯re back from the set?¡±


    Zhuang Huai ignored her ingratiating smile and slowly walked over. He sat on the chair opposite Zhuang Xian and looked at her before turning his gaze back to Zhuang Jie. With a face full of interest, he asked, ¡°Who do you want to cripple? Can third brother help you?¡±


    Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t dare to be arrogant in front of him. She lowered her head and said, ¡°No, we¡¯re just playing around!¡±


    Although Zhuang Huai was a lively person and was always smiling when talking to others, he was not someone to be trifled with! He was a ¡®smiling tiger¡¯. Anyone who offended him would be dealt with by him with joy.


    Zhuang Huai saw that Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t dare to act rashly anymore, so he smiled and spoke to Zhuang Xian, ¡°When I heard second brother say that you¡¯re beautiful, I was still skeptical. Now, I think second brother is right! You¡¯re very pretty.¡±


    Was this how the entertainment industry expressed its goodwill? Is it etiquette to praise people? Zhuang Xian found it a little funny. She could not guess what her third brother was thinking.


    Zhuang Xian smiled and said to Zhuang Huai, ¡°Thank you, third brother.¡±


    Zhuang Huai was a person who was naturally friendly with others. After seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s smile, he could not hide the surprise in his eyes. He said excitedly, ¡°Sister, come to the entertainment industry and work for third brother! If we as brother and sister work together, we can easily break into the entertainment industry!¡±


    An Ye knew that the Zhuang family¡¯s third son was good-looking, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be so handsome. His facial features were more delicate than Zhuang Hang¡¯s, like a piece of art carefully carved by an artist. He had delicate eyebrows and eyes, a tall and handsome nose, and sexy thin lips. Zhuang Huai was able to become popular in the entertainment industry so quickly because of this face!


    The way An Ye looked at Zhuang Huai was so intense that Zhuang Huai, who was being stared at every day, was a little uncomfortable. He turned to her and asked, ¡°Who are you? Why do you keep staring at me?¡±

 Chapter 26

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    An Ye came back to her senses and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. She softly said to Zhuang Huai, ¡°Hello, brother Zhuang Huai, I¡¯m Zhuang Jie¡¯s good friend. My name is An Ye!¡±


    When she said her name, she raised her head slightly and looked shyly at Zhuang Huai. Her eyes were full of love and she wanted to say something but didn¡¯t. An Ye¡¯s actions were smooth and perfect!


    Zhuang Huai looked at her with a faint smile and greeted, ¡°Hello, Sister An Ye.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Huai¡¯s frivolous expression and gently shook her head. In her heart, she even mourned for An Ye for a second.


    For Zhuang Huai to be able to do so well in that mixed social circle, what kind of woman had he not seen?


    An Ye¡¯s flirting and seducing methods were all seen by him. In her previous life, An Ye had suffered a lot from him.


    Seeing Zhuang Huai¡¯s friendliness towards An Ye, Zhuang Jie was very happy. An Ye was her best friend. If she wanted to be with her second brother in the future, it was very important to have a good relationship with her family.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the two of them secretly rejoicing and felt that it was a little funny. Zhuang Jie was really stupid.


    Zhuang Huai only sat there for a while before returning to his room to take a shower. Zhuang Xian was too lazy to argue with them, so she turned around and left, not forgetting to grab her laptop.


    She had originally wanted to use last night¡¯s incident as a warning to Zhuang Jie, but now it seemed like she could take it slow and slowly manipulate her in the future.


    Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as she left and said hatefully, ¡°She won¡¯t be arrogant for long. When she goes to the old mansion, I¡¯ll see how my mom and the old lady will deal with her! We¡¯ll just wait and see!¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Jie¡¯s confident look, An Ye asked, ¡°When will your grandma call Zhuang Xian over? We can¡¯t let her bully us like this.¡±


    Zhuang Jie turned to look at her and patted her shoulder. She smiled and said, Don¡¯t worry, the old lady is on my mother¡¯s side. What happened last night was just a mistake. She won¡¯t be so lucky next time.¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes were filled with ferocity.


    She had been too careless. She had not expected Zhuang Xian to be so skilled and fight so well.


    ¡°But she already knows that we¡¯re the ones behind it! She won¡¯t complain to your uncle, will she?¡± An Ye thought of Zhuang Xian¡¯s appearance just now and asked worriedly. She didn¡¯t want the elders to know about this.


    ¡°So what if she did? she doesn¡¯t have any evidence anyway!¡± Zhuang Jie said fearlessly. She guessed that the people from yesterday had no choice but to reveal their information to Zhuang Xian after being tortured by her.


    It wasn¡¯t a big problem. Zhuang Xian still didn¡¯t have any concrete evidence to accuse them.


    An Ye relaxed slightly. ¡°When is she going to the old residence?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s tomorrow!¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s lips curled into an evil smile as if she could already see Zhuang Xian being tortured to death by the old Madam.


    An Ye¡¯s plan for the day had been ruined by Zhuang Xian. After Zhuang Xing left, she did not return. The two of them left not long after.


    During dinner, Zhuang Huai looked at the rice bowl filled with food in front of him and said helplessly, ¡°Alright, Mom! Are you raising a pig? I¡¯m the National idol, I need to manage my figure!¡± He looked at Lin En in distress, his handsome face scrunched up.


    Lin En smiled and touched his handsome face. He said softly, ¡°Aiyo, Mom hasn¡¯t seen you for a long time. I miss you! Eat more. ¡±


    Zhuang Huai glanced at Zhuang Xian, who was snickering at the side, and said, ¡°Give it to my sister. Look at how skinny she is.¡±


    ¡°Of course, your sister has one too. Hurry up and eat!¡± Lin En said to Zhuang Huai, pretending to be strict.


    She hadn¡¯t seen her youngest son for a month and felt that he had lost weight and grown a little taller.


    Zhuang Ming looked at the harmonious and beautiful scene in front of him and thought about what would happen tomorrow. He pinched the corner of his eyebrows because of a slight headache. ¡°Since third brother is back, come to the old residence with us tomorrow! In our family, your grandma likes you the most.¡±


    ¡®If you come, you might be able to cure your grandma¡¯.


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t finish his sentence, but everyone present, including Zhuang Xian, understood what he was trying to say.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going! I get so tired when I see aunty.¡± Zhuang Huai lowered his head and drank a mouthful of soup as he spoke.


    Every time they went to the old mansion, they would meet Zhuang Jing. This aunt of theirs was like a lunatic.

 Chapter 27

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Every time Zhuang Jing saw Zhuang Ming, Lin En, as well as the three brothers, she would have a strange look on her face and never say anything good about them.


    Zhuang Huai felt annoyed just by looking at her face.


    Hearing this, Lin En put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhuang Huai. In a tone that did not allow for any rejection, she said, ¡°No! You must go tomorrow! Other than your big brother, everyone else in our family has to go tomorrow.¡±


    As she spoke, she patted Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Hang¡¯s shoulders and said seriously, ¡°There¡¯s strength in numbers! The old lady might not listen to what your father and I say, but you two are her grandchildren. She should still listen to you! I¡¯ll leave your sister¡¯s name on our family genealogy to you two!¡±


    Zhuang hang almost choked on the rice in his mouth. He asked anxiously, ¡°Why is this my business? The old lady doesn¡¯t like me, so it¡¯s useless no matter what I say!¡±


    Seeing Lin En¡¯s expression as if a huge battle was about to break out, Zhuang Xian laughed in her heart. Most importantly, her mother had requested her two brothers to be her vanguards, vowing to go through thick and thin with her and fight alongside her!


    Zhuang Xian felt that it was both funny and touching. She looked at her mother and brothers gently and said in a warm voice, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m not afraid of the old lady¡¯s troubles. Let¡¯s take it slow, this matter can¡¯t be rushed.¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s respectful and sensible appearance, reached out and touched her hair, and smiled gently. ¡°Mom knows that you¡¯re a good and sensible child. This matter should be resolved as soon as possible.¡± She glanced at Zhuang Ming as she spoke. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anything tomorrow. Your father, I, and your brothers are here for you!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Lin En¡¯s words, the corners of her eyes started to tear up. This was the love that the Zhuang family was giving her, warm and firm as always.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Along with her words of gratitude, Zhuang Xian¡¯s tears fell.


    Lin En wiped away her tears and smiled gently. ¡°What is this? Why are you suddenly crying?¡±


    Zhuang Xian thought that no one in this world would be able to understand how touched she was at this moment.


    She had crossed over between her past life and this life and returned after experiencing the world. The Zhuang family still placed her at the top of their hearts.


    Zhuang Huai didn¡¯t know why, but when he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s teary eyes, he felt a little upset. He smiled gently and pretended to be happy as he said, ¡°Then there¡¯s no other way. We can¡¯t avoid this disaster. Tomorrow, it¡¯s up to second brother and me!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at his second brother, who was also silent on the other side. The two of them looked at each other tacitly and smiled.


    Lin En treated Zhuang Xian as her own, and the way she valued and cherished Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions affected the people around her.


    Zhuang Ming and the three Zhuang brothers had long regarded Zhuang Xian as a part of the Zhuang family. The Zhuang family had always been protective of their own.


    City H, Dingcheng District.


    As everyone knew, Dingcheng District was the true home of the rich and powerful in H City. It was the heart and the heart of the city. However, it was a place with a beautiful environment and suitable for living. Every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. It was also a place that countless people dreamed of coming to.


    Mo Qian owned a considerable amount of real estate here. The head of the Mo group, who was rich enough to rival a country, was not here for fun.


    When Mo Xi led Lan Ling into the Mo family¡¯s Gate, she was a little speechless in her heart. This woman¡¯s patience and toughness are really strong. No wonder the young master could think highly of her.


    Lan Ling was holding a few food boxes in her hand. As she walked, she smiled and said to Mo Xi, ¡°I was going to give it to brother Qian yesterday, but he went out with his friends and came back very late, so I didn¡¯t come over to disturb him! These are the new ones I made today. There are a lot of them here, you can take some back later and let everyone try them!¡±


    Mo Xi smiled politely and didn¡¯t say anything. He just ridiculed her in his heart. ¡®You don¡¯t have to explain all this to me, and you don¡¯t have to say so much. I won¡¯t help you convey your hard work to the young master, nor your gentleness, virtue, and understanding.¡¯


    Lan Ling was a very gentle and beautiful woman. She had been by Mo Qian¡¯s side for nearly a year. She lived in a real estate owned by Mo Qian. There were also rumors outside that she was Mo Qian¡¯s mistress!


    However, only the people around Mo Qian knew that to Mo Qian, Lan Ling was just a stranger who went by the name of his savior. Mo Qian had no relationship with her.

 Chapter 28

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    In the Mo family¡¯s study.


    ¡°Young master, Miss Lan is here.¡± Mo Xi said in a low voice to Mo Qian, who was sitting behind the desk and flipping through a document.


    Mo Qian nodded his head. He didn¡¯t have any special expression when he saw Lan Ling¡¯s arrival.


    Mo Xi was Mo Qian¡¯s most capable assistant. He understood Mo Qian¡¯s meaning and asked Lan Ling politely in a low voice, ¡°What would Miss Lan like to drink? I¡¯ll get them to bring it up.¡±


    Lan Ling retracted her gaze from Mo Qian and smiled faintly at Mo Xi, ¡°No need, you can go down first ¡­¡± Before she could finish her words, Mo Qian interrupted her.


    ¡°Mo Xi.¡± Mo Qian didn¡¯t even raise his head and made a gesture to Mo Xi. His fingers were slender and well-proportioned, and even such a simple action was very pleasing to the eye.


    Mo Xi walked over and bowed slightly beside him. Mo Qian explained some work matters to Mo Xi.


    Lan Ling was left to the side just like that. Although she flaunts herself as Mo Qian¡¯s Savior when she was outside, she didn¡¯t dare have any presumptuous behavior in front of Mo Qian.


    After Mo Qian and Mo Xi finished their conversation, Lan Ling took the food box and walked up.


    Ever since she entered the Mo family¡¯s house, she¡¯s had a gentle and quiet smile on her face. Now, in front of Mo Qian, she was even more endearing and obedient.


    She made her voice sound very weak as she sweetly called out to Mo Qian, ¡°Big brother Qian! I¡¯ve made you your favorite snacks and even paired them with the most fragrant milk. You can eat this and sleep well tonight.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s hand paused as she mentioned the desserts. He suddenly remembered that he had not eaten Zhuang Xian¡¯s desserts for two days. Thinking of how delicious they were, a smile appeared in his eyes. He looked up at Lan Ling and said to her in a gentle tone, ¡°What did you do?¡±


    Lan Ling looked at Mo Qian, a little flattered. She thought that Mo Qian was in a very good mood today.


    In the past, when Lan Ling sent things over, she never saw Mo Qian being so kind and pleasant. He was always distant and indifferent, like a high and mighty God, untainted by the mortal world, noble and elegant.


    Lan Ling wanted to feed the dessert directly into Mo Qian¡¯s mouth, but he raised his hand to take it. She hid the slight disappointment in her heart and smiled gently, ¡°We¡¯re having almond crisps today. I¡¯ve made them especially sweet. Brother Qian, try them and see if you like them.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at the apricot kernel pastry in his hand. He felt that the color of the apricot kernel pastry did not look appetizing like the one made by Zhuang Xian. He tried eating a small piece and his brows immediately furrowed slightly. He picked up the cup and took a sip.


    Lan Ling looked at Mo Qian¡¯s expression and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Was this not to his taste? But he had done the same in the past.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, brother Qian?¡± she asked anxiously. You don¡¯t like it?¡±


    Mo Qian leaned back for a moment, his expression returning to normal. He took a tissue and wiped his hands, saying indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s too sweet,¡±


    It was so sweet that it was a little greasy, and the taste was not good enough. It was not even half as good as Zhuang Xian¡¯s! As Mo Qian thought about this, he asked Mo Xi to move the boxes away from him.


    He picked up the document on the table and glanced at Lan Ling. ¡°Don¡¯t trouble yourself in the future. You don¡¯t have to send it to me at night.¡±


    Lan Ling was a little flustered. She forced a smile and said, ¡°Brother Qian, if you don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll change it in the future! I can also make many other things!¡± Lan Ling didn¡¯t want to lose this only excuse to get close to Mo Qian.


    Lan Ling could feel that Mo Qian had been treating her more and more coldly in the past few months!


    Could mo Qian have discovered something? Lan Ling thought so in her heart, but she suddenly denied this guess. No! It was impossible! Her evidence was so flawless that Mo Qian couldn¡¯t have known!


    Mo Qian looked at Lan Ling again and said, ¡°No need,¡±


    The atmosphere in the study room became a little quiet, making Mo Xi, who was standing at the side, have the impulse to hide.


    Of course, Lan Ling wouldn¡¯t let the atmosphere turn so cold. She forced a smile and said to Mo Qian, ¡°Oh right, big brother Qian! I heard from Butler Mo that you went to watch the competition yesterday. Was it fun there? I¡¯ve never watched a car race live before.¡±


    Mo Qian hummed softly and said to her indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s too late. You should hurry back. I¡¯ll get the driver to send you down.¡±


    Lan Ling still wanted to say something, but Mo Qian¡¯s cold eyes stopped her from saying anything.

 Chapter 29

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Mo Xi looked at Lan Ling¡¯s reluctant posture and looked at her for a while with every step she took. He lowered his head and asked Mo Qian curiously, ¡°Is Miss Lan¡¯s cooking that bad?¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at Mo Xi and said honestly, ¡°It can¡¯t be compared to what she does.¡±


    Mo Xi nodded in understanding, a smile in his eyes. He had grown up with Mo Qian and had never seen him praise anyone. Recently, he had been hearing him praise Zhuang Xian a lot. Mo Qian praised her for her delicious desserts, and her driving skills!


    Zhuang Xian seemed to be becoming more and more special to Mo Qian.


    As Mo Qian thought of Zhuang Xian, he could not help but recall her familiar smile. He turned to Mo Xi and asked, ¡°I asked you to investigate Zhuang Xian. How¡¯s it going?¡±


    At the mention of this, Mo Xi felt very uncomfortable. He frowned and reported to Mo Qian respectfully, ¡°We¡¯ve already sorted out all the information on Miss Zhuang Xian, but we still felt that there were some strange areas, so we asked Zhui Feng and the others to continue investigating.¡±


    Mo Qian leaned back in his chair when he heard Mo Xi¡¯s words. He turned the ring on his hand and looked at Mo Xi with interest, asking, ¡°Oh? What do you think is strange?¡±


    ¡°Miss. Zhuang Xian¡¯s resume doesn¡¯t match her character. It¡¯s too simple.¡± Mo Xi concluded.


    ¡°She went missing when she was three years old. Then, she was picked up and sent to the Tian Xin orphanage. She spent most of her life in this orphanage. In the three years between the age of ten and thirteen, she was adopted twice, but she was sent back both times. Those people said that she had dirty hands. We still need to verify this statement.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Mo Xi and nodded, indicating for him to continue.


    Maxi recalled the contents of the information and continued, ¡°When she was 13 years old, she was sent back and fell seriously ill, almost died!¡±


    When Mo Qian heard this, a bold guess suddenly flashed through his mind. He sat up and urged anxiously, ¡°Three years ago, she was seriously ill. What happened after that?¡±


    ¡°After that serious illness, she changed a lot. She doesn¡¯t remember much about her past. She studied hard and had excellent grades. Not long after that, she was adopted by the Zhuang family. That¡¯s all the information in the file.¡±


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s silence, Mo Xi spoke his guess, ¡°Young Master, you also encountered that accident three years ago. I think there must be some involvement in it, so I asked Wind-chasing Wolf to continue investigating with people.¡±


    Mo Qian had returned after meeting Zhuang Xian at the Zhuang family and ordered a re-investigation of the incident. Mo Xi had taken note of that day.


    Seeing how excited his young master was just now, he had already guessed that Zhuang Xian and his young master¡¯s Savior must have had some sort of connection.


    Mo Xi had said so much, but only the middle part was useful to Mo Qian.


    No wonder he felt so familiar when he saw Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Xian was most likely the girl who had saved him back then.


    ¡°When she was 13, did she go to Kyushu Harbor?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    Maxi shook her head slightly and said with some shame, ¡°I haven¡¯t found anything yet.¡±


    He looked at Mo Xi and solemnly instructed, ¡°Continue to investigate! Find out everything that happened when she was 13 years old, no matter how big or small!¡±


    Mo Xi lowered his head with a respectful expression and replied, ¡°Yes, young master!¡±


    Lan Ling, who had just been sent home, didn¡¯t know that her avatar was about to fall off.


    The house in Dingcheng District was very big and spacious. Lan Ling liked it very much. Mo Qian had never been stingy with her material things. It was also because of this that she was so afraid of losing the title of ¡®Savior¡¯. Without this thing, she would be nothing in Mo Qian¡¯s place.


    Lan Ling wasn¡¯t a person who would sit and wait for death. She had to think of a way to retain Mo Qian and consolidate her current position.


    Thinking of this, Lan Ling sat in the living room and made a phone call.


    When the phone rang, Lan Ling¡¯s hands were clenched tightly. She was a little nervous because she knew that this was a risk. If she was not careful, she would be crushed like an ant to death by Mo Qian.


    ¡°The medicine you mentioned to me last time, are they still on sale?¡± Lan Ling asked the person on the phone nervously, her palms full of sweat.

 Chapter 30

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The low-key luxurious large floor-to-ceiling window reflected Lan Ling¡¯s tormented face. Outside the window was an endless night. In the opaque night, people¡¯s endless greed and desire were hidden. This gloominess was exactly what Lan Ling was thinking at the moment.


    The morning sun was not scorching hot. When Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang came back from their run, the porridge in the kitchen was ready and everyone at home was already up.


    Zhuang Huai leaned against the stairs and looked at Zhuang Hang, who was wiping the sweat off his neck with a towel while smiling and talking to Zhuang Xian. He yawned slightly and complained to the two energetic people below, ¡°Are you young or not? How can you two get up in the morning to run?¡±


    Lin En could hear Zhuang Huai¡¯s voice from the kitchen. She poked her head out to look at her lazy little son and said, ¡°Why is it that a person who sleeps in like youstill looks so proud instead of being ashamed?¡±


    Zhuang Huai came down the stairs, with a beautiful smile on his face. He hugged Lin En¡¯s hand and said coyly, ¡°Mom! I¡¯m still young, so I¡¯ll grow taller if I sleep more!¡±


    Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang stood at the side, laughing as they watched the third brother¡¯s antics. The whole family did not seem to be worried about going to the old residence today.


    Zhuang Ming sat down at the dining table and looked over. ¡°Come and have breakfast. We have to be at the old residence at 10 o¡¯clock sharp. It¡¯ll be bad if we¡¯re late.¡±


    After breakfast, the family got into two separate cars and prepared to set off. Zhuang Xian was dragged by her third brother to his Maserati supercar. This car had been left at home for a long time, and it was nice to drive it out for a spin today.


    Zhuang Xian fastened her seat belt and said with a smile, ¡°My little life is in your hands, third brother!¡±


    Zhuang Huai winked at her, looking suave and confident. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your third brother¡¯s driving skills are one of the best in city H. I even drove with Mo Qian back then!¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Qian¡¯s name, Zhuang Xian looked up at Zhuang Huai and pretended to ask casually, ¡°Did Mo Qian play with cars before?¡±


    Zhuang Huai started the car skillfully and said with a hint of pity in his voice, ¡°Yeah, forget that his legs are crippled now. He was a very good racer in the past!¡±


    ¡°Is third brother very close to him?¡±


    ¡°Not very familiar, we¡¯ve only met a few times,¡±


    He looked at Zhuang Xian with a smirk and joked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You like him!¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned her head to look at him and said, ¡°Where did you get that conclusion from?¡±


    Zhuang Huai turned his head and stared at the road. His tone was a little cynical as he said, ¡°I, your third brother, have a good eye for people. Even if you don¡¯t like Mo Qian, you must be very interested in him. Otherwise, why do you keep asking about him? Am I right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback. Zhuang Huai had hit the nail on the head. She was indeed very interested in Mo Qian. It was the kind of interest that made her want to be on her guard against him!


    Zhuang Huai glanced at her expression from the corner of his eye. Thinking that he had guessed her thoughts, he became even more excited. ¡°Haha, I was right! You¡¯re interested in him!¡±


    As he spoke, he seemed to seriously consider it before he continued, ¡°You two are indeed a good match, both of you are good-looking!¡±


    Zhuang Xian was speechless at Zhuang Huai¡¯s conclusion.


    Not only was her third brother¡¯s character eccentric and easy to get along with, but could his thinking also be eccentric?


    As they were talking, their car had entered the Dingcheng District. Zhuang Xian turned her head to look at the bustling city and some memories of the past slowly emerged in her mind.


    Zhuang Xian did not have a good impression of the people from the Zhuang family¡¯s old mansion. It could even be said that she hated and loathed them. In her previous life, the Zhuang family¡¯s old lady, Fu Qin, had been deceived and misled by Zhuang Jing, which was why she had been so biased and cruel towards Zhuang Ming and Lin En.


    Lin En was such a kind and gentle person, but she couldn¡¯t get a single word of praise from Fu Qin!


    When Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai arrived at the Mo family¡¯s main entrance, they were stopped by the security guards at the entrance. The reason was that foreign vehicles were not allowed to enter!


    Zhuang Xian saw that Zhuang Hang¡¯s car was still behind them and wanted to say something to the security guard, but Zhuang Huai reached out and stopped her.


    Zhuang Huai took off his sunglasses and smiled at the security guard. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s only been a few days and you don¡¯t recognize your third young master? Hurry up and open the gate! If you delay my matters, I¡¯ll make sure you bear the consequences!¡±


    When he said the last sentence, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

 Chapter 31

    The security guard seemed to have finally seen Zhuang Huai¡¯s face. He hurriedly bowed and yawned, ¡°So it¡¯s young master Zhuang Huai! I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t recognize you. Is this a new car? No wonder I didn¡¯t know you! Haha, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll open the gate for you!¡±


    ¡°Next time, when you see my car, you have to open the gate for me from 200 meters away, understand? If you dare to stop my car again, I won¡¯t be so easy to talk to. ¡± Zhuang Huai put on his glasses and softened his cold tone.


    Seeing the security guard open the gate with a bow, Zhuang Xian gave him a thumbs up. My brother is amazing!


    After entering the main entrance, Zhuang Huai parked his car in the courtyard. As he waited for the servant to come and park his car, Zhuang Xian took the opportunity to look around the place. It was still the same place as in her memory! It was just that in her previous life, her third brother did not come with her.


    Zhuang Jie had been waiting in the courtyard for a while. When she saw Zhuang Xian, who was beside Zhuang Huai, her eyes glowed with a fierce light. She squatted down and touched the German Shepherds that were guarding the house. With her other hand, she pointed at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°Go! Bite that woman to death and I¡¯ll give you more food!¡±


    Zhuang Jie was a frequent visitor to the old house, so she was very familiar with these German Shepherds. German Shepherds were good at guarding the house and were also very intelligent dogs. They could understand some simple orders from their owners.


    As Zhuang Jie raised her hand, the three German Shepherds suddenly rushed out. When they heard the dogs barking, Zhuang Xian¡¯s body trembled. Zhuang Huai noticed that something was wrong with her and asked worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid of dogs?¡±


    Zhuang Huai turned around and saw three big dogs running toward him. He shouted, ¡°Who let the dogs out? Someone help!¡±


    As he spoke, he grabbed Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and wanted to get into the car.


    Zhuang Xian had already composed herself and restrained the fear that had flashed in her heart. She knew who was behind this. It was the same as in her previous life. Zhuang Jie had not improved at all. These were only a few tricks to make fun of people!


    She held Zhuang Huai¡¯s hand and said calmly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to run. I have a way to deal with them. ¡±


    ¡°These dogs are very fierce. I can¡¯t do anything about them, so what can you do?¡± Zhuang Huai said anxiously.


    As they were talking, the German Shepherds had almost reached them. Zhuang Xian broke away from Zhuang Huai¡¯s hand and ran in the other direction, whistling in a strange tone.


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s heart almost stopped as he watched her leave. If anything happened to her, he would F*cking swallow her alive!


    Zhuang Huai quickly looked around and wanted to call for help. When his eyes swept past a flower bush, he saw a girl¡¯s figure. He shouted, ¡°Hurry up and find someone to help!¡±


    However, the more he shouted, the faster the woman ran. Zhuang Huai cursed, ¡°F*ck!¡±


    He turned around and quickly chased after Zhuang Xian!


    The yard of the old house was very large, with all kinds of lush vegetation decorating it. Zhuang Xian ran very fast, but a human couldn¡¯t outrun a German Shepherd, and she had no intention of competing with these German Shepherds in running!


    The whistle she whistled seemed to have some kind of magic. When the German Shepherds ran up to her, their attitude took a 180-degree turn. They even started wagging their tails at Zhuang Xian. Their cute and obedient looks were the complete opposite of their fierce and evil looks just now.


    When Zhuang Huai caught up and saw the scene in front of him, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. His beautiful eyes widened and he asked in confusion, ¡°Oh my God! How did you do it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian patted the heads of the German Shepherds and looked up at Zhuang Huai. She smiled gently and said, ¡°It¡¯s just training a dog. I¡¯ve learned it before. ¡±


    ¡°Then why were you running?¡± Zhuang Huai walked over and squatted down beside her, still panting heavily.


    Zhuang Xian touched the German Shepherd¡¯s back, her eyes shining. She didn¡¯t answer Zhuang Huai¡¯s question, but instead asked him, ¡°When you came here just now, did you notice anything wrong?¡±


    Zhuang Huai was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he seemed to have understood something. He frowned and said, ¡°Other than the security guard at the entrance, there¡¯s no one else in the front yard, not even a servant!¡±


    It was almost ten in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly, but Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was cold.

 Chapter 32

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian smiled as she looked at Zhuang Huai, who was frowning beside her and said with a deeper meaning, ¡°It¡¯s broad daylight, and there¡¯s no one in such a big courtyard. It was almost time for the appointment, but someone suddenly ran out and made such a scene. Third brother, what do you think they¡¯re trying to do?¡±


    The German Shepherds that were squatting beside Zhuang Xian were wagging their tails cutely. Zhuang Xian stroked their heads and continued, ¡°We¡¯ve been in the yard for so long, but no one came to park our cars. Only these ¡®cute¡¯ dogs came out to welcome us!¡±


    Zhuang Huai was a smart person. Once Zhuang Xian said this, he understood everything. They were trying to keep them in the courtyard. What was their motive?


    He looked at the German Shepherds and said in a cold tone, ¡°If you didn¡¯t know how to train a dog these animals are not cute at all!¡±


    Zhuang Huai laughed sarcastically. ¡°She¡¯s trying to intimidate us! Is it the old lady or the Auntie?¡± He recalled the figure he had seen in the flowers. That was Zhuang Jie!


    ¡°This round should still be mainly aimed at me. After all, the dogs of the old mansion won¡¯t attack you on their initiative.¡± Zhuang Xian replied calmly. She got up and sent a message to Lin En.


    Zhuang Huai furrowed his brow. Could the old Madam¡¯s heart be so ruthless? Zhuang Xian was the daughter that his mother and father were determined to acknowledge, yet she was able to make Zhuang Jie release the dogs to bite Zhuang Xian so hastily. Just how deep was the enmity between them? As Zhuang Huai thought of this, his heart turned cold towards the old residence.


    He didn¡¯t believe that Zhuang Jie would have brought the dog to the front yard without the old lady¡¯s or Zhuang Jing¡¯s permission!


    Meanwhile, Zhuang Jie, who had just witnessed Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai¡¯s ¡¯embarrassing escape ¡®, had already returned to the living room in satisfaction. She only needed to wait a little longer and her ¡®obedient dog¡¯ would be able to help her vent her anger!


    Zhuang Jie imagined Zhuang Xian¡¯s miserable state for a while and felt extremely happy.


    Fu Qin saw Zhuang Jie walk in and asked, ¡°Are your Uncle and the others here? Why aren¡¯t they coming in, and why are the dogs barking?¡±


    Zhuang Jie smiled and sat down beside her. She said sweetly, ¡°No, they aren¡¯t! I didn¡¯t see my uncle and the others!¡±


    Fu Qin was also a smart person. She seemed to have already guessed something. She pinched Zhuang Jie¡¯s small face and said with a kind smile, ¡°You, don¡¯t play with dogs for no reason! What would you do if they bit you?¡±


    Zhuang Jie and Zhuang Jing exchanged a look, then turned to Fu Qin and said obediently, ¡°Our dog will never bite their people! If they bit an outsider, then the outsider deserved it! Who asked her to barge in? Right, grandma?¡±


    Fu Qin looked at her dainty little face, shook her head, and said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re right, but we can¡¯t go too far. Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡±


    Fu Qin had just stood up when she saw Lin En and Zhuang Ming aggressively walking toward her from the door. Lin En¡¯s face was red with anger as if a volcano was about to erupt in the next second!


    Seeing her like this, Zhuang Jing immediately began to speak sarcastically again. She pretended to be surprised. ¡°Aiyo! I thought it was the King of Hell, but it turns out to be the third sister-in-law! We haven¡¯t seen each other for so long. Why is your face so long? If we didn¡¯t know, we¡¯ll think that someone had provoked you!¡±


    Zhuang Ming held Lin En¡¯s hand and looked at Zhuang Jing with a cold face without saying anything. His eyes were fixed on Fu Qin as he coldly asked, ¡°Why do you let dogs bite people at home? Where are Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai?¡±


    Zhuang Jing¡¯s face darkened, and she spoke before Fu Qin could, ¡°Third brother, why do you say that? We haven¡¯t even seen your cheap daughter, how could we let the dog bite her?¡±


    When Zhuang Ming heard Zhuang Jing¡¯s words, his eyes were so cold that it was as if he was going to freeze someone to death.


    Zhuang Xian was the daughter that he and Lin En both cherished, and it was not Zhuang Jing¡¯s place to criticize her!


    He coldly said to Zhuang Jing, ¡°Zhuang Jing! You better watch your words! Don¡¯t take my tolerance for you as indulgence!¡±


    ¡°Impudent! Third brother, what are you doing? Are you thinking of swallowing your little sister alive?¡± Fu Qin¡¯s deep voice rang out. She looked straight at Zhuang Ming and Lin En, who was beside him, and said in a flat tone, ¡°Is a foreign bastard¡¯s adopted daughter worth all of your anger?¡±


    Lin En¡¯s eyes were stung by those words. She took a step forward and looked at Fu Qin, her voice was cold as she said, ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to talk about my daughter like that!¡±

 Chapter 33

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Ming stepped forward protecting Lin En behind him. He looked at Fu Qin with his deep eyes and said in a low voice, ¡°Lin En and I personally chose Zhuang Xian, and we also personally brought her home! In my heart, she¡¯s already my daughter and an indispensable part of the Zhuang family!¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Fu Qin with a pained expression. This was his biological mother!


    He couldn¡¯t see the slightest bit of care and concern from Fu Qin. In her heart, the old Zhuang family¡¯s reputation, glory, and those old-fashioned dogmas were the most important!


    She couldn¡¯t see the living people.


    ¡°I thought that mother wanted me to bring Zhuang Xian here to take a good look at my daughter! I didn¡¯t expect you to ¡®see¡¯ her in this way! She¡¯s only a 16-year-old child. Why are you so hostile to her?¡±


    Fu Qin looked at Zhuang Ming¡¯s unscrupulous way of criticizing her, and the anger in her heart slowly rose. However, she did not show it. Zhuang Ming¡¯s business had been doing better and better these past few years, and many of the businesses in the old estate also needed to rely on him.


    Fu Qin¡¯s expression was a little dejected. She looked at Zhuang Ming and said in a low voice, ¡°Third brother, what are you talking about? I only said one sentence about your adopted daughter. How did it make you sad for no reason? We didn¡¯t see her. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask your sister and your niece!¡±


    Zhuang Ming let out a heavy breath. He knew that he wouldn¡¯t get the result he wanted if he continued to be entangled with them. Instead of continuing to play dumb with them here, he might as well go out and take a walk!


    Zhuang Hang had already gone to look for them just now, and he wondered if he had found them.


    Zhuang Ming pulled Lin En¡¯s hand and walked out. Fu Qin looked at him and knew that he was in a fit of anger. She took a deep breath and followed him out.


    Zhuang Jing held the old lady¡¯s hand and followed her out. Zhuang Jie shot her a look, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the current situation wasn¡¯t suitable for laughing, Zhuang Jie would have already laughed out loud saying. ¡®You¡¯d better hurry up when you¡¯re looking for Zhuang Xian, or she¡¯ll be torn to pieces by those German Shepherds!¡¯


    If someone were to pay attention to the current Zhuang Jie, they would realize that this beautiful girl had an evil look in her eyes and that she was evil from the inside out.


    Fu Qin wanted to call out to Zhuang Ming, but he had taken Lin En¡¯s hand and walked out. She couldn¡¯t let them make a big deal out of this, so she had to find a way to calm Zhuang Ming down. The old lady turned her head, looked at the housekeeper beside her, and urgently ordered, ¡°Hurry up and get someone to find them!¡±


    The old Butler quickly responded and brought the servants to follow them out to look.


    When the group of people rushed into the front yard, Uncle Li, who was usually in charge of the German Shepherds, was already sweating. He was not hot, but guilty!


    When Miss Zhuang Jie came over to take the dog, he already had a bad feeling. Today was the day that master Zhuang Ming brought his adopted daughter over to pay respects to the old Madam. Normally, Zhuang Jie was never so polite to him, but this time, she showed him quite a bit of kindness. Something must be wrong if not abnormal! As expected, something had happened!


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the crowd heading in the direction that Zhuang Xian had run off. She had been looking forward to seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s miserable state for a long time.


    When they walked past a blind spot in the front yard, Zhuang Jie saw Zhuang Xian. She was leading the German Shepherds and walking over with Zhuang Huai, chatting and laughing!


    That was impossible! This was impossible! Why did Zhuang Xian ¡­


    How could she escape from the mouth of the German Shepherds that we¡¯re protecting the family? This was too unreal! Zhuang Jie was starting to doubt what she had just seen. Was Zhuang Xian being chased by the dogs an illusion?


    When Lin En saw Zhuang Xian, she quickly walked up to her and held her arm. She looked her up and down and found that she was not injured at all. Lin En then let out a long sigh of relief and sobbed, ¡°You scared Mom! Are you hurt anywhere?¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Xian safe and sound, the stone in Zhuang Ming¡¯s heart finally fell.


    Zhuang Xian reached out to wipe the tears from Lin En¡¯s face and comforted her, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not hurt. Don¡¯t cry!¡±


    Zhuang Jing was also very surprised. What was going on? Didn¡¯t Jie just say that everything would be fine? Why was Zhuang Xian completely fine?


    When Zhuang Jing turned to look at Zhuang Jie, she saw that Zhuang Jie was also surprised!

 Chapter 34

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Hundreds of thoughts flashed through Zhuang Jing¡¯s mind. After a while, she looked at Zhuang Xian and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re Zhuang Xian? Who told you to mess around like this? It¡¯s your first time here, and you¡¯re already running around without any restrictions, causing everyone to come out to look for you, and disturbing everyone¡¯s peace!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jing. From her words, it seemed like she was going to make false accusations against her?


    Zhuang Xian laughed coldly and said, ¡°Aunty¡¯s brain sure works fast! In such a short time, you¡¯ve already thought of a story to reverse the facts?¡±


    Zhuang Huai stood by her side and looked coldly at the dazed Zhuang Jie. ¡°The person in the flower garden just now, was you, wasn¡¯t it, Zhuang Jie?¡±


    Zhuang Jie came back to her senses and quibbled, ¡°What are you saying? What flowers?¡±


    ¡°A white dress and a pair of silver sandals. Who else could it be but you?¡± Zhuang Huai¡¯s voice became fierce. Zhuang Jie was standing at the back of the crowd, so when the people moved away, her exquisite white dress and sandals were exposed in front of everyone.


    ¡°You¡¯re the one who sent the dogs after Zhuang Xian, right? How could you be so vicious?¡± As Zhuang Huai spoke, he looked at Zhuang Jie with eyes full of disgust.


    If this was during normal times, Zhuang Huai would still care about that little bit of kinship and give her some face. However, Zhuang Jie had gone too far today. If Zhuang Xian did not know how to discipline dogs, the consequences would have been unimaginable!


    Zhuang Jing sneered and screeched, ¡°Yo! Third brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can¡¯t say whatever you want! You don¡¯t have any evidence, so why are you slandering her?¡±


    Zhuang Jie was a little flustered just now. The person Zhuang Huai had seen back then was indeed her. Seeing that her mother had spoken up for her, she suppressed the panic in her heart and said loudly, ¡°That¡¯s right! Why would I do that? And even released dogs to chase her? Only you could think of that!¡±


    ¡°Some people just like to fantasize about things. How could there be so many people who would want to harm her? Do you think that everyone is idle?¡± Zhuang Jing continued Zhuang Jie¡¯s sentence and looked at Zhuang Xian with disdain as if she was being unreasonable.


    Lin En wanted to step forward and argue with Zhuang Jing, but Zhuang Xian comforted her by clapping her hands. She then turned to Zhuang Jing and said, ¡°Aunt¡¯s mouth is so clever! I¡¯ve already been harmed in such a way. Why does it sound like something not worth mentioning to my aunt and Zhuang Jie? You guys haven¡¯t experienced the ferocity of German Shepherds, have you? Do you want to try?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were cold. She whistled casually, and the German Shepherds, which had been sitting obediently a moment ago, immediately stood up vigilantly. They looked fiercely at Zhuang Jing and Zhuang Jie, who were standing in front of the crowd!


    Zhuang Jie was stunned and thought to herself, ¡®This is bad. This B*tch knows how to train dogs!¡¯


    Fu Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s arrogant and sharp-tongued face and was displeased. She took a step forward and scolded Zhuang Xian, ¡°You¡¯re impudent! Have you forgotten who you are? Is this a place where you can do whatever you want?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was not the least bit afraid of Fu Qin¡¯s domineering aura. She could even look at her with a relaxed expression. ¡°Grandma! This is my first time here, and I¡¯ve already received such a big ¡®gift¡¯ from all of you. I feel that it¡¯s better to return the favor. How can this be called messing around? Although I¡¯m only an adopted daughter, I have no choice. My parents and brothers dote on me. I¡¯m not someone who can be bullied as people please!¡±


    When Zhuang Huai heard her say, ¡°my parents and brothers dote on me,¡± his cold face almost collapsed! This girl was infuriating. She always didn¡¯t play by the rules, catching people off guard.


    Fu Qin did not expect Zhuang Xian, this little adopted daughter, to say such words. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she thought to herself, ¡®This foreign little bastard was not as easy to deal with as Zhuang Jie had said!¡¯


    Zhuang Xian had no patience left to argue with them. She turned to Zhuang Jie and said, ¡°Are you going to admit to this in front of everyone, or do you want me to find out and hand you over to the police so that you can be charged with intentional injury or something?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Zhuang Jie raised her voice and shouted at Zhuang Xian, ¡°Why do you always target me? Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm and confident expression and felt guilty. Could Zhuang Xian have any evidence? No, it can¡¯t be!

 Chapter 35

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Jie thought that she had done it discreetly and had planned and sent everyone in the front yard away at the right time. She was afraid that someone would see her and that the dogs would accidentally hurt someone!


    Zhuang Jie thought that no one would find out that she had done it. Even if Zhuang Huai caught a glimpse of her, she would deny it vehemently. In any case, her mother and grandmother would protect her!


    Of course, Zhuang Xian was not an easy person to deal with. While Zhuang Jie was still being stubborn and refusing to admit her mistake, Zhuang Xian had already asked her second brother, Zhuang Hang, to go to the computer room in the old house and show them all the surveillance footage from the front yard.


    When Zhuang Hang returned with the surveillance footage, he saw Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Jie¡¯s heated battle!


    Zhuang Hang passed the phone to Zhuang Xian and deliberately raised his voice, ¡°This is the surveillance footage I just checked in the surveillance room. The footage for half an hour before 10 O¡¯ clock today is all in here! Since you want evidence, Zhuang Jie, let¡¯s show this to everyone. We¡¯ll know the truth with one look.¡±


    Zhuang Jing and Zhuang Jie were shocked. How could they have forgotten about this?


    Zhuang Jie felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning by Zhuang Hang¡¯s words. Her mind went blank as she rushed forward and snatched the phone from Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. Zhuang Xian, who was usually very skilled in martial arts, did not seem to have any reaction at all as she let Zhuang Jie snatch the phone from her.


    With a ¡°pa¡± sound, the phone was smashed into pieces by Zhuang Jie.


    This ¡­


    Everyone was a little stunned. Was Zhuang Jie the one who did this?


    Although the servants usually didn¡¯t dare to talk about Zhuang Jie directly, the way they looked at her had changed.


    Miss Zhuang Jie was spoiled, domineering, and looked down on everyone. They thought that was bad enough, but they didn¡¯t expect her to be such a vicious girl!


    She was still so young, but she was already so ruthless and unscrupulous. Zhuang Jie was simply too terrifying.


    ¡°What are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the evidence?¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice was as cold as a ghost¡¯s.


    Zhuang Jie returned to her senses and looked at Zhuang Xian with panic and guilt. She felt that she was finished! Now that Zhuang Xian had the evidence, everyone would know what she had done.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her as if he was a joke. Her eyes were full of mockery. ¡°You can¡¯t possibly think that you can destroy surveillance cameras like this, right? Are you that naive?¡±


    Lin En¡¯s eyes turned cold. He stepped forward and pointed at Zhuang Jie, saying sternly, ¡°You can¡¯t deny it now, right? You were the one who deliberately set Xian ¡®er up. You brought the dog to the front yard to kill Xian¡¯ er, right? The German Shepherds will only attack people they don¡¯t know!¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at her coldly and asked, ¡°Why would you do something like this? Why do you hate Zhuang Xian so much?¡±


    When Zhuang Jing saw Zhuang Jie¡¯s actions just now, she was dumbfounded by her daughter¡¯s stupidity. Wasn¡¯t she confessing without even trying?


    ¡°Was this done by Miss Zhuang Jie? How could she be so cruel?¡±


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t her, why would she be in such a hurry to snatch the phone? She even smashed it into pieces!¡±


    ¡°Will she be sent to jail for assault?¡±


    Although the servants were whispering, Zhuang Jie still heard them. She turned around to look at Zhuang Jing, her eyes filled with helplessness!


    What do they do? What should they do? Zhuang Jing had already received Zhuang Jie¡¯s distress signal, but in this situation, what could she do to turn the situation around? Zhuang Jing¡¯s mind was quickly thinking of countermeasures!


    ¡°I say! This is such a terrible thing, just call the police!¡± Zhuang Huai said coldly.


    Fu Qin glanced at Zhuang Huai. Even though Zhuang Huai was usually very likable, at this moment, he was adding fuel to the fire.


    The situation was so ugly all because Zhuang Jie was stupid and made a mistake!


    Why was this child always so rash when doing things? There were so many flaws that it was difficult for her to protect her even if she wanted to.


    ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough!¡± Fu Qin¡¯s cane hit the ground heavily. She looked around at everyone present, and the thick sound made them lower their heads. ¡°Let¡¯s end this matter here!¡±


    Zhuang Hang glanced at the old lady and knew that she was trying to side with Zhuang Jie and Zhuang Jing again. He smiled sarcastically and said, ¡°We¡¯ll have to see how Grandma handles this matter! After all, there are so many people watching. If Grandma wants to be biased towards someone, we will not agree! Then we can only leave it to the police to handle!¡±

 Chapter 36

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang looked at each other, and their eyes also turned to Fu Qin. When she noticed that Lin En¡¯s hand that was holding on to the corner of her clothes had tightened, Zhuang Xian reached out and patted her to comfort her.


    ¡°Yeah, the Zhuang family pays the most attention to rules! If Grandma doesn¡¯t deal with Zhuang Jie fairly after what she did to me today, I¡¯m afraid the public won¡¯t be convinced!¡±


    Zhuang Xian and her two brothers tacitly sent Fu Qin to a loftier place.


    Fu Qin was being pushed up high by them, and she felt like she was riding a Tiger and couldn¡¯t get off. Looking at how difficult they were to deal with, it was not quite possible for her to easily let this matter go.


    Fu Qin was furious, but she couldn¡¯t let them take this matter to the police. Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t afford to lose face, and the Zhuang family couldn¡¯t afford to lose even more face!


    She looked at Zhuang Jie and compromised, ¡°Yingluo (Jie) was indeed too willful in this matter. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t hurt anyone. Punish her by making her face the wall at home for half a month and deduct three months of her pocket money as a warning to others! If you dare to commit the same mistake again, it won¡¯t be so simple.¡±


    When Lin En heard Fu Qin¡¯s words, she immediately disagreed. She said, ¡°Mom! Isn¡¯t your punishment too light? How could Zhuang Jie do such a thing to Xian ¡®er? You¡¯re just punishing her by making her face the wall and giving her a few months of pocket money, isn¡¯t that too lenient?¡±


    Zhuang Ming spoke up to support Lin En. ¡°I don¡¯t agree either! This punishment doesn¡¯t even hurt, how can she recall?¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at Fu Qin with a pale face. Only her grandmother could save her now.


    ¡°Then what do you want? Do you want Zhuang Jie to die for this? Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t hurt in any way!¡± Fu Qin pretended to be angry. Looking at Zhuang Ming, who still had an indignant expression, Fu Qin softened her voice and said, ¡°At the end of the day, we¡¯re all one family. It¡¯s good that the misunderstandings have been resolved. It¡¯s good to understand and tolerate each other. What do you think, third brother?¡±


    ¡°The kitchen made your favorite pancakes today. Let¡¯s go in and talk! Is that good?¡± Fu Qin had brought out her trump card against Zhuang Ming. Every time, as long as her attitude was a little gentler, Zhuang Ming would always give in.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Fu Qin¡¯s gentle and loving appearance and it would be a lie to say that he wasn¡¯t soft-hearted. Fu Qin was still his mother after all!


    However, Zhuang Ming was a smart person. How could he let go of such a great opportunity to negotiate? ¡°Since mom asked for my opinion, I¡¯ll be direct! If you put Zhuang Xian in the Zhuang family¡¯s genealogy, we can let this matter go!¡±


    After Fu Qin heard Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, she secretly took a few deep breaths before she managed to suppress her fiery temper.


    Out of all the children she had, Zhuang Ming was the one she was most dissatisfied with.


    Zhuang Ming had never been very close to her since he was young. He was the most silent and the least talkative of the children. Zhuang Jing was always sweet-tongued and knew how to make her happy. His older brothers had also stayed at home to inherit the family business. Only Zhuang Ming was rebellious and courageous. He refused to listen to Fu Qin and insisted on setting up another family business to do what he wanted to do!


    And it just so happened that this son, who she was most dissatisfied with, became the only person in the family who became a big shot. Fu Qin¡¯s heart felt a little unbalanced. This strange awkwardness had been eclectic between the mother and son for many years, and it was one of the reasons why they had never gotten along!


    Right now, the Zhuang family needed to rely on Zhuang Ming in many areas. Fu Qin couldn¡¯t push them out anymore. She had to win Zhuang Ming over, so Fu Qin would lower her head toward Zhuang Ming.


    ¡°Do you want this daughter that much?¡± Fu Qin asked, feeling a little tired.


    Zhuang Ming glanced at Lin En, who was beside him, and replied in a deep voice, ¡°Yes! My wife and I have always wanted a daughter. Although it¡¯s a pity that we didn¡¯t have the fortune to have one, it¡¯s already the best outcome to have met Zhuang Xian. ¡±


    Lin En¡¯s eyes began to redden. She reached out to hold her husband¡¯s hand, silently giving him a lot of strength.


    Fu Qin took a deep breath and nodded slightly. ¡°Alright. But this is a big deal, and we need the elders to agree.¡±


    Lin En¡¯s heart was filled with joy. Since the old lady had compromised and nodded, then this matter was settled!


    ¡°Hurry up and go back to your seats. The dishes will get cold soon.¡± As Fu Qin spoke, she slowly turned around and left, ignoring Zhuang Jing¡¯s attempt to come forward and hold her arm.


    Zhuang Jie lowered her head, like a defeated rooster, and left with Zhuang Jing.


    Lin En held onto Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and said happily, ¡°That¡¯s great, Xian ¡®er. Even though we were shocked today, we didn¡¯t lose out. With the old lady¡¯s compromise, isn¡¯t this matter half-done?¡±

 Chapter 37

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian looked at the smile on Lin En¡¯s face and laughed as well. At least her plan had not failed.


    Lin En looked around and saw that everyone had left. She winked at Zhuang Xian and asked in a low voice, ¡°How was it? Your mother¡¯s acting skills are not bad, right? It¡¯s all thanks to me that we tricked them over!¡±


    Lin En glanced at the silent Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang and complimented, ¡°Your father¡¯s acting skills are also very good, and your second brother¡¯s actions are very fast! Our division of labor and cooperation was perfect!¡±


    Lin En paused for a moment, and the family of five looked at each other and smiled as if they had finally finished a stage play.


    Zhuang Huai looked at his fourth sister with admiration and secretly gave her a thumbs up. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°I used to think that I was the smartest person in the world! Only today did I realize that it wasn¡¯t the case. Sister, you¡¯re the smartest person here. I¡¯m going to give this title to you, ¡®my genius sister¡¯! Who would¡¯ve thought that you¡¯d be able to use this trick so well, and the effect is so obvious! We¡¯ve checkmated them!¡±


    ¡°How did you know that there were surveillance cameras in the front yard? When you texted mom, did you already predict what would happen? Did you expect Zhuang Jie¡¯s brainless self-destruction?¡± Zhuang Hang also looked at Zhuang Xian and asked with a faint smile.


    He was curious as to how Zhuang Xian had managed to plan all of this in such a short time.


    Zhuang Ming coughed lightly to pull everyone back from their exciting thoughts. He said in a low voice, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this here. Let¡¯s go home and talk about it. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Ming. Her father was the one who had put in the most effort today. She didn¡¯t know how many of the words and actions Zhuang Ming had just said and done were from the bottom of his heart, or how many of them were his true feelings!


    However, she knew that Zhuang Ming still had some expectations for his mother, Fu Qin!


    In her previous life, Zhuang Ming had always been too concerned about Fu Qin¡¯s thoughts, which led to them repeatedly suffering losses under Fu Qin¡¯s means of making things difficult for them. Lin En had spent a lot of time and energy to complete the matter of her being on the Zhuang family genealogy!


    By the time they were eating, Zhuang Jing and Zhuang Jie had already left. Fu Qin was good at acting and everything was peaceful. She was so enthusiastic toward Zhuang Ming at the dining table that it was as if all the arguments and contentions earlier had never happened!


    On the way back from the old Zhang family mansion, Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Jing¡¯s cold face and didn¡¯t dare to breathe too hard.


    ¡°You¡¯re just like your damn father, an idiot who can¡¯t do anything! What did I expect you to do? You couldn¡¯t even handle such a small matter.¡± Zhuang Jing still couldn¡¯t hold it in and lost her temper at Zhuang Jie.


    She had pampered Zhuang Jie too much, to the point that she couldn¡¯t even use her brain when she did things. Not to mention the surveillance cameras. She was even discovered when she let the dog out! If this wasn¡¯t stupidity, then what was?


    Zhuang Jie was already starting to cry. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, mother! I didn¡¯t know why the third brother was with her, and she even can train/control dogs!¡±


    Zhuang Jing took a deep breath and waited for her breathing to calm down before she said, ¡°I was too careless. I didn¡¯t expect the little B*tch that Lin En took in to be so smart!¡±


    Zhuang Jing recalled what had just happened and said with some regret, ¡°I was one step behind!¡±


    Seeing that her mother¡¯s expression had softened a little, Zhuang Jie asked tentatively, ¡°Then do I still need to follow grandma¡¯s punishment?¡±


    After all, she was her only daughter, so there was no reason for Zhuang Jing not to dote on her. After letting out a long sigh, she lazily said, ¡°What else can I do? Your grandma is angry with you this time. You have to be more serious about accepting your punishment! As for the rest, who would care about you at home?¡±


    Zhuang Jie was overjoyed when she heard Zhuang Jing¡¯s words, ¡°That¡¯s great, I don¡¯t want to stay at home and do nothing! Mom, you¡¯re not going to deduct three months of my pocket money, are you?¡±


    Zhuang Jing pinched Zhuang Jie¡¯s face and said lovingly, ¡°I won¡¯t touch your pocket money, but you have to at least behave yourself for the next few months. Don¡¯t make your grandma angry again, understand?¡±


    Zhuang Luan nodded obediently and did not dare to object. She thought to herself, ¡®As expected, Mom won¡¯t blame me! Grandma probably wouldn¡¯t do that either. She loved her so much. She had no choice but to do that in front of everyone!¡¯


    As she consoled herself, Zhuang Jie felt much better. The humiliation that she had suffered at Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands today, she would return it to Zhuang Xian a hundred times over in the future! She swore!

 Chapter 38

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s entry into the Zhuang family¡¯s genealogy had been settled. Following that, there was another very important issue, which was Zhuang Xian¡¯s admission.


    Zhuang Ming had heard from Lin En that Zhuang Xian had received admission letters from several famous universities in the country. He was naturally happy that his child was so outstanding, but the choice of school was also very important! So, when Zhuang Ming got home, he called Zhuang Xian to his study room to ask for her opinion.


    Sitting on the sofa in the study room, Zhuang Ming poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Xian before asking, ¡°You¡¯ve chosen a school? If you really can¡¯t make up your mind, I can help you analyze it so that you can have a reference!¡±


    Zhuang Xian took the tea from Zhuang Ming and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°I want to go to Saint Capital University!¡±


    Zhuang Ming nodded slightly and agreed, ¡°The Saint Capital is not bad. Your second and third brothers both graduated from this school. If you go this year, your third brother can still take care of you!¡±


    Zhuang Ming seemed to have thought of something and said worriedly, ¡°Zhuang Jie is also in this school. If she dares to treat you like this now, it¡¯s hard to guarantee that she won¡¯t be worse in the future! You have to be more careful of her, understand?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Ming and smiled obediently. ¡°I know, dad. Don¡¯t I still have third brother? Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Although Zhuang Ming was still worried about Zhuang Xian, after this incident, he could tell that with Zhuang Xian¡¯s intelligence, those who wanted to make things difficult for her would not get any promising thing out of her!


    Of course, Zhuang Xian knew that Zhuang Jie was at Saint Capital University. Not only Zhuang Jie, but An Ye and Ye Xin were also there. With so many of her enemies in there, how could she avoid them?


    It was her style to take the initiative.


    The father and daughter chatted for a long time in the study room. Just as Zhuang Xian was about to leave, Zhuang Ming stopped her. He still remembered the chess game they had agreed on earlier!


    An hour later, Zhuang Xian left the study room. Zhuang Ming, who was sitting behind the chessboard, supported his chin with his right hand. His brows were slightly furrowed as he looked at the game in front of him. He was in a state of self-doubt!


    Was this what Zhuang Xian meant when she said she only knew a little?


    His precious daughter had agreed to his request to play properly, but this had scared him so much that he was starting to doubt his ability. With her level of skill, she could probably even take part in a Go tournament in China!


    Ming ¡®en Corporation.


    Mo Qian sat opposite Zhuang Ming and listened attentively to the project proposal made by the employees above him. The Mo Corporation and Ming En¡¯s intention to cooperate had been reached, and the next step was to advance the project in more detail.


    Mo Xi glanced at Mo Qian. It would have been fine if Mo Qian did not attend today¡¯s meeting personally. They had the relevant persons in charge. Mo Xi, who had already guessed his young master¡¯s true purpose, was rather speechless. Young Master Mo was after Zhuang Xian¡¯s snack!


    After the meeting ended, Mo Qian was invited into Zhuang Ming¡¯s office.


    Zhuang Ming was a smart person. How could he not understand Mo Qian¡¯s obvious intentions? He must have some feelings for his precious daughter.


    Her father, Zhuang Ming, thought of Zhuang Xian¡¯s intelligence and decided not to interfere with others ¡®pursuit¡¯ of her.


    If Mo Qian knew what Zhuang Ming was thinking right now, he would probably find it particularly interesting. He was very curious about this woman, but it was far from the point where he wanted to pursue her.


    Zhuang Xian was not a simple person. She was like a blind box, never knowing what kind of surprise one would get when one reached the next floor!


    ¡°I¡¯m planning to hold a party at home in a few days. President Zhuang, you and your wife must come!¡± Mo Qian said with a faint smile as he took a sip of water.


    Upon hearing Mo Qian¡¯s invitation, Zhuang Ming was slightly surprised. He quickly nodded and replied, ¡°Alright, President Mo! I¡¯m honored.¡±


    A banquet held by a top-notch family like the Mo family had an extremely high threshold. Not all ordinary wealthy families could attend.


    The various gatherings between the wealthy families were a Vanity Fair and a business field.


    After dinner, Zhuang Xian was drinking tea with Zhuang Ming and Lin En in the living room. When Zhuang Ming mentioned that she would be attending the Mo family¡¯s banquet in a few days, Zhuang Xian looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, ¡°Dad, do you mean that I have to go to this business gathering as well?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Zhuang Ming nodded and smiled. ¡°The people who can attend this party are all famous and wealthy in the circle. There¡¯s no harm in showing up more often at such events!¡±


    Zhuang Xian naturally understood Zhuang Ming¡¯s intentions. He wanted to introduce her to the world as the only daughter of the Zhuang family!

 Chapter 39

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    But the Mo family was Mo Qian¡¯s territory! In front of Mo Qian, she had used two disguises. If she got closer to him, she would always feel like a sheep entering a Tiger¡¯s mouth.


    Zhuang Xian shook off the strange feeling in her mind. She looked up and nodded at Zhuang Ming. She smiled obediently and said, ¡°I understand what you mean, father. We¡¯ll go together!¡±


    Hearing this, Lin En clapped her hands and said excitedly, ¡°That¡¯s great! I¡¯ll prepare a gown for Xian ¡®er!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En¡¯s eager and excited expression and smiled helplessly. Her mother seemed to have an extraordinary passion for dressing her up.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian with great interest. Which girl did not like to play the game of ¡®doll¡¯? After all, the Zhuang Xian in front of him was a very good ¡®doll¡¯ in real life. Zhuang Xian was already so pretty even without makeup. If she were to dress up properly, the men at home would be awestruck!


    Dingcheng District.


    Lan Ling looked at the dresses hanging on the clothes fitting rack and shook her head in dissatisfaction. The designer whispered to her, ¡°Miss Lan, you don¡¯t like any of these?¡±


    ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Lan Ling asked calmly. She had made full preparations for the Mo family¡¯s gathering this time. She needed more exquisite and perfect clothes.


    The designer understood in her heart and smiled at Lan Ling, ¡°Miss Lan, this way please.¡±


    As she spoke, she led LanLing to the front of another row of dresses and pointed at the Indigo long dress. She then asked, ¡°How about this set?¡±


    Lan Ling¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. The style and design of this dress were very novel. There was no lack of sexiness in it, and there was a mysterious melancholy in the sexiness. Lan Ling immediately thought that it was it!


    After changing, Lan Ling looked at herself in the full-length mirror and smiled with satisfaction. ¡°Your Judge¡¯s clothes have always been beautiful.¡±


    The designer smiled and said, ¡°Beautiful clothes complement beautiful people. That¡¯s called complimenting each other!¡±


    ¡°What a sweet mouth, I¡¯ll take this one! Help me change the area around the waist.¡± Lan Ling smiled and said happily. Which woman doesn¡¯t like to be praised?


    After Judge¡¯s designer left, Lan Ling opened her handbag and took out a colorless transparent small bottle. She shook the liquid inside and said to herself, ¡°Big brother Qian, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll blame me too much.¡±


    The Mo family¡¯s cocktail party was held as scheduled. Uncle Mo was in charge of all the food and beverage of the party, while Mo Qian was in charge of some of the formalities. He had been so busy these two days that his feet didn¡¯t even touch the ground!


    Lin En held Zhuang Ming¡¯s hand as they walked in elegantly. Following behind her were her youngest son, Zhuang Huai, and Zhuang Xian, who was holding onto his arm.


    Mo Xi saw them at a glance. He turned and walked into the inner room, and said respectfully to Mo Qian, who was sitting in the hall, ¡°President Zhuang¡¯s family is here.¡±


    Mo Qian nodded his head as he slowly maneuvered his wheelchair out to welcome them. When he saw Zhuang Ming, he subconsciously looked for Zhuang Xian¡¯s figure.


    Zhuang Xian was wearing a red gown today. The color was very bright and was not suitable for her age, but the design of the gown covered up this problem. The work of Judge, the chief designer, had never been overturned before!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s facial features were exquisite, and there was a hint of charm between her brows and eyes. Today¡¯s makeup was also very exquisite, which made her perfect and flawless face even more beautiful!


    She was like a demoness who could bring disaster to a country and its people. This kind of flamboyant beauty made people unable to take their eyes off her after one glance!


    Mo Qian was so mesmerized by Zhuang Xian that he could not take his eyes off her. He stepped forward to shake Zhuang Ming¡¯s hand and nodded politely at Lin En before turning his gaze back to Zhuang Xian. His deep eyes seemed to contain the entire sea of stars as an admiring smile appeared on his face. He sincerely praised her, ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful today,¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and said gently, ¡°Thank you.¡±.


    Lin En gave her husband a smug look. ¡®See, see, our precious daughter is just so eye-catching!¡¯


    Zhuang Ming looked at her with a smile in his eyes and patted her hand lovingly. In his eyes, the most beautiful and eye-catching person was Lin En.


    Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming exchanged a few pleasantries before Mo Xi called him away. As Zhuang Xian watched Mo Qian leave, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    She almost couldn¡¯t withstand Mo Qian¡¯s gaze. Did this man not know how deep his eyes were? When he looked at Zhuang Xian, it was as if Zhuang Xian was the woman he had loved for many years.

 Chapter 40

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian looked in the direction that Mo Qian had left. She still felt that the man¡¯s gaze was a little strange.


    Zhuang Huai observed Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°Why are you in a daze? Has your soul been stolen?¡± As he spoke, he smirked and pouted his lips in the direction of Mo Qian in the crowd.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Huai¡¯s handsome face. That¡¯s it! Her good third brother still thought that she had a crush on Mo Qian!


    She said to Zhuang Huai in a low voice, ¡°I don¡¯t like him, don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡±


    Zhuang Huai pinched her little face, his eyes full of smiles. ¡°What are you being shy about? Tell big brother the truth. Big brother will help you pursue him, and also help you keep it a secret!¡±


    Zhuang Xian gently pushed her third brother¡¯s hand away and said through gritted teeth, ¡°What I just said was the truth.¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know that this intimate interaction between her and Zhuang Huai had been completely taken in by a certain man.


    Mo Qian looked at them from two meters away. He raised his head and finished the wine in his glass. Mo Xi saw it and bowed to remind him worriedly, ¡°Young Master, you drank too fast.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, my alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t that bad!¡± Mo Qian said as he looked in Zhuang Xian¡¯s direction again.


    When the party was about to start, Lan Ling came to the venue. She was very beautiful today. There were many eyes on her at the party, but the most dazzling was still the beautiful figure in red.


    Lan Ling had a subconscious hostility towards the beautiful women around Mo Qian, not to mention such a beautiful woman on this social occasion!


    After sizing up Zhuang Xian, Lan Ling slowly walked over to Mo Qian with a glass of champagne in her hand. When she got close to Mo Qian, her body swayed. It was undeniable that Lan Ling¡¯s dress today was well chosen and suited her temperament.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze was attracted by the dress on Lan Ling. This dress was the one she was most satisfied with among the design drafts she received not long ago. She didn¡¯t expect someone to wear it out so quickly.


    After walking to Mo Qian¡¯s side, a gentle smile hung on the corner of Lan Ling¡¯s mouth. She called out to him, ¡°Big brother Qian! Can I have a drink with you?¡±


    Mo Qian only glanced at her indifferently, not saying a word.


    Lan Ling was standing on Mo Qian¡¯s right side. When a waiter suddenly walked past her, she suddenly screamed softly and fell into Mo Qian¡¯s arms as if she was unstable. The champagne in her hand also spilled on Mo Qian¡¯s collar.


    She wiped Mo Qian¡¯s collar with her hand in a panic and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brother Qian, I didn¡¯t mean it! I lost my balance after he hit me!¡±


    The waiter looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. He swore that he had not touched this young lady.


    However, Lan Ling didn¡¯t care about him. She pointed her finger and pushed all the ¡®mistakes¡¯ onto him.


    Mo Xi quickly came forward to help Lan Ling. Lan Ling slowly stood up. Her high heels were too high, so she looked a little awkward when she stood up.


    The sudden situation attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Zhuang Huai¡¯s eyes lit up. There was going to be a show to watch. He pulled Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and walked over. Zhuang Xian was not prepared for him and almost fell when he pulled her.


    Seeing the people in the field slowly moving towards them, Mo Xi bowed and asked Mo Qian, ¡°Young master, are you alright? I¡¯ll push you up to change your clothes!¡±


    o Qian looked at his chest in disgust, then looked up at Lan Ling. Lan Ling¡¯s face was red with embarrassment, and she couldn¡¯t help but bow to him and apologize, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brother Qian!¡±


    Mo Qian only felt irritated and waved her away. Could he blame her?


    He motioned for Mo Xi to come over and push the wheelchair. He had to quickly change his clothes. He apologetically said to the people around him, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just a little accident. I¡¯ll go up and change my clothes. Everyone, please feel free to do as you please!¡±


    As Mo Qian finished speaking, he did not forget to smile at Zhuang Xian, who was walking toward him.


    Zhuang Xian ¡­


    As Mo Qian moved past her, Zhuang Xian suddenly caught a whiff of a very strange smell. The smell was masked by the smell of alcohol and was especially faint. However, Zhuang Xian was used to dealing with all kinds of medicinal herbs, so her sense of smell was extraordinary.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the half-wet clothes that Mo Qian was disgusted with. That was where the smell was coming from!


    Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind. She knew what this smell was! It was the ¡®drunken dream¡¯ fragrance!


    Has Mo Qian been tricked by someone? Otherwise, why would someone cast such a bewitching fragrance on him? Zhuang Xian thought with a frown.

 Chapter 41 - Hit By A Move

    ¡®Drunken dream¡¯ was one of the drugs that pharmacists disdained to make the most.


    A regular pharmacist would be disgraceful towards this kind of evil thing. Only some people with evil intentions would think of using this kind of thing to accumulate wealth or to achieve an unspeakable purpose.


    And the person who had poured wine for Mo Qian was the one with ulterior motives!


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian, who was being pushed away by Mo Xi, and the blue figure who followed behind them. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be in a dilemma.


    Zhuang Xian had a hunch that this would be a farce. However, after hesitating for a while, she still decided to follow them and see if there was anything she could do to help. Perhaps she could even do Mo Qian a favor!


    She also wanted to know how the other party had gotten his hands on drunken dream.


    When Mo Qian was being pushed upstairs by Mo Xi, he felt something was wrong. He resisted the burning heat on his body and ordered in a low voice, ¡°Get the family doctor!¡±


    When Mo Xi heard Mo Qian¡¯s words, he was confused. However, when he saw the sweat on Mo Qian¡¯s forehead and the side of his face that was already flushed, he quickly reacted and replied, ¡°Yes! Young master!¡±


    As Mo Xi spoke, he pinched the small communicator behind his ear and called for someone in the microphone, but no one answered. Mo Xi had a bad feeling.


    ¡°Go to the first floor and find someone.¡± Mo Qian ordered as he saw the change in Mo Xi¡¯s expression.


    Mo Qian was currently under the influence of the medicine, and his mind was not very clear. He did not fully realize the seriousness of the matter and only wanted Mo Xi to get the doctor.


    He felt like ants and insects were biting him. His lower body was abnormally hot, and his sexual organs were rising.


    Mo Xi calculated the time. He would be back in about two minutes if he were fast enough. Mo Qian should be relatively safe on the second floor!


    Thinking of this, Mo Xi agreed, then turned and left the room. He was so anxious that he didn¡¯t notice someone hiding outside the corridor.


    Lan Ling looked at Mo Xi¡¯s back as he ran away. She held the signal jammer and entered the room in a flash!


    At this moment, Mo Qian was sitting in the room, shaking his sexy neck slightly. He had already loosened his tie, unable to stand the heat.


    His slender fingers casually unbuttoned his shirt. It was a simple and natural action but carried an unintentional but fatal temptation when Mo Qian did it.


    Lan Ling¡¯s nerves were tense as she took in the scene.


    She knew that Mo Qian was a very charming and sexy man, especially with that pair of Phoenix eyes that were usually cold and indifferent. When he looked over with strange feelings, Lan Ling felt that she was bewitched, and the name of this bewitchment was ¡°Mo Qian¡±!


    Lan Ling leaned toward Mo Qian and asked tentatively, ¡°Brother Qian! Are you alright? I¡¯m sorry. Is there anything I can help you with?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s remaining rationality told him he had to throw this disgusting woman out.


    ¡°Who let you in? Get out!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s fierce voice was very intimidating. If it were anyone else, they would have already begun to tremble.


    However, Lan Ling was determined to win Mo Qian today!


    She had to do what needed to be done with Mo Qian today and confirm their ambiguous relationship. It would be best if she could take the opportunity to officially announce their relationship to the public so that Mo Qian could not deny it.


    Lan Ling had been confused by the perfect situation she had imagined. She dared to get close to Mo Qian and looked at Mo Qian with her wet, seductive eyes. She said softly, ¡°Brother Qian, you¡¯re drunk. Let me help you change your clothes!¡±


    As she spoke, she reached out to help Mo Qian undress, but Mo Qian pushed her away.


    To stay awake, he had been biting his tongue tightly just now. The tingling pain allowed him to regain consciousness for a short time. He shouted at Lan Ling, ¡°Get lost! Do you want to die? Get away from me!¡±


    However, Lan Ling was not moved at all. She gently touched the hand that Mo Qian had waved away, and the light in her eyes became more determined.

 Chapter 42 - Almost Lost Her Virginity

    She moved closer to Mo Qian¡¯s ear and said in an intriguing and ambiguous voice, ¡°Why do I feel like brother Qian needs me now? Let me help you. I promise you¡¯ll be very comfortable!¡±


    As Lan Ling said this, she leaned over to kiss Mo Qian. Mo Qian was overwhelmed by the smell of her body and lost his last bit of rationality. He sat there in a daze and didn¡¯t know how to dodge.


    The door opened just as Lan Ling was about to touch the corner of Mo Qian¡¯s lips.


    Holding the all-purpose magnetic card, Zhuang Xian pushed open the door and saw such an exciting scene.


    However, she didn¡¯t seem to be surprised. The corners of her mouth even curled up as she said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s regrettable. Did I interrupt this lady¡¯s good time? Where¡¯s Mo Xi? I just saw him coming up with President Mo. How come it¡¯s just the two of you now?¡±


    Lan Ling¡¯s movements stopped. She looked sideways at the beautiful woman who had ruined her plan. The cold light in her eyes was enough to freeze people to death!


    This B*tch!


    ¡°Get lost!¡± Lan Ling said coldly. I advise you to mind your own business! This is big Brother Qian¡¯s room. Do you want to die for barging in?¡±


    Compared to Lan Ling¡¯s sharp words and anger, Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was calmer and more relaxed.


    It was easy to tell who was the one with a guilty conscience.


    Zhuang Xian chuckled. ¡°I don¡¯t care about the others¡­But if you tell me where you got your ¡®drunken dreams¡¯, I might be merciful and not disturb you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian lifted her gorgeous dress and approached Lan Ling. Although the corners of her mouth were raised, there was no kindness in her beautiful eyes.


    In today¡¯s matter, she was going to interfere!


    Lan Ling panicked when she heard the name ¡®drunken dreams¡¯ from Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth. ¡°Shut up! What ¡®drunken dream¡¯? I don¡¯t understand! Get out of here right now!¡±


    After Lan Ling finished speaking, she reached out and wanted to push Zhuang Xian!


    The situation was urgent, and time was of the essence. If she didn¡¯t strip Mo Qian naked and send him to bed, Mo Xi would come back with his men in a while, and her plan today would be a complete failure!


    She couldn¡¯t accept the result of failure, so Lan Ling needed to solve this sudden variable quickly.


    Mo Qian could no longer distinguish between Lan Ling and Zhuang Xian¡¯s argument. His handsome face was full of open and seductive lust.


    The heavy breathing and the unbearable panting sounds hit the eardrums of the only two women at the scene, inexplicably making their blood boil!


    ¡°Hmph ¡­ Mm!¡±


    Zhuang Xian subconsciously turned back to look at Mo Qian. After understanding Mo Qian¡¯s situation, Zhuang Xian was stunned. She looked at Lan Ling and asked, ¡°How much did you use on him? Are you trying to assassinate Mo Qian?¡±


    But it didn¡¯t look like it! Zhuang Xian looked at Lan Ling and didn¡¯t finish her sentence.


    Lan Ling was also stunned. She didn¡¯t seem to understand what Zhuang Xian meant.


    ¡°Boss Mo¡¯s condition is already a sign of poisoning after taking too much medicine!¡± Zhuang Xian frowned and explained when she saw that this woman didn¡¯t seem to understand her.


    Lan Ling didn¡¯t understand these things in Pharmacology. She only knew that she did what the seller said. Still, to prevent the effect from being wrong, she deliberately added 2ml.


    Should she believe the words of this beautiful woman?


    Lan Ling thought for a moment and felt she had no reason to believe the other party. Who knew if this woman had the same purpose as her?


    After all, she had dealt with countless women who had tried to seduce Mo Qian. Now that she had such a good opportunity, she would not let it go quickly!


    Lan Ling reached out to pull Zhuang Xian, still trying to drive her out. ¡°This is none of your business! Leave this place quickly, or I¡¯ll call the police!¡±


    Zhuang Xian heard Mo Qian¡¯s irregular breathing and glanced at Lan Ling.


    She looked at Lan Ling as if she was an idiot. Lan Ling was almost driven mad!


    ¡°Then quickly call the police.¡±


    ¡°If you want to die, I can¡¯t stop you,¡± Zhuang Xian thought speechlessly. At the same time, she dodged Lan Ling¡¯s hand and walked toward Mo Qian.

 Chapter 43 - Being Taken Advantage Of

    Zhuang Xian stepped forward and swiftly tore off Mo Qian¡¯s clothes, which were stained with drugs. She looked at Lan Ling coldly and said, ¡°Either call the police or come over to help! Or do you want to kill him?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression and demeanor didn¡¯t seem to lie, making Lan Ling doubt herself.


    Could it be that she had drugged him too fiercely?


    Lan Ling turned her head to look at Mo Qian and found that his state was not right! This wasn¡¯t like what the seller had said; it was just a high-grade aphrodisiac!


    The expression on Mo Qian¡¯s face was pained, and his entire body had already begun to turn red and purple. He unconsciously scratched himself madly as if he wanted to tear himself apart alive.


    That crazy look made Lan Ling so scared that she froze in place.


    Looking at Lan Ling¡¯s performance, Zhuang Xian no longer hoped this stupid woman could help her. She would thank the heavens if she didn¡¯t cause any trouble!


    Zhuang Xian held down Mo Qian¡¯s hands that were moving around and took off his shirt with great effort.


    However, Mo Qian refused to surrender to Zhuang Xian¡¯s restraints and continued to struggle. The difference in strength between a man and a woman made Zhuang Xian unable to suppress him for a while.


    By the time she reacted, Mo Qian had already grabbed her wrist and pressed his other hand on her slender waist. His blurry eyes were filled with lust!


    The man¡¯s warm palm scalded Zhuang Xian, and she was stunned for a moment.


    Was Mo Qian awake or not?


    Zhuang Xian lowered her head to look at the other party but was shocked by Mo Qian¡¯s suddenly enlarged face. She exclaimed softly, ¡°You ¡­¡±


    However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw Mo Qian suddenly lift his chin. An intuitive sense of danger forced Zhuang Xian to quickly lean back, her slender and fair neck stretching into a beautiful arc in the air.


    The next moment, the kiss landed directly on Zhuang Xian¡¯s neck. This was the result of Zhuang Xian¡¯s quick reaction and action. If it had been a little later, the kiss would not have landed on her neck!


    The sudden offense gave Zhuang Xian the strength to push this hooligan away.


    She frowned and reached out to wipe the place where he had just kissed her, but she couldn¡¯t wipe away the warmth he had left.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the man in the wheelchair who was still hurting her. She wanted to call the woman over to help control Mo Qian¡¯s hand, but she realized that no one was behind her.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was angry, and she scolded angrily, ¡°F*ck! She ran away! I want to see if you can grow wings and fly out of the Mo family!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m hot ¡­ Give me water!¡± Mo Qian murmured in his sleep, his expression looking a little pitiful.


    Zhuang Xian let out a deep breath. She wanted to leave this hooligan behind. However, on second thought, her father and the Zhuang family¡¯s business still had to rely on him. Hence, she suppressed the anxiety in her heart!


    Of course, she would never admit that there were other things mixed in with this anxiety.


    She extended her hand to Mo Qian. ¡°Do you want some water? Come, I¡¯ll take you there. ¡±


    Mo Qian, tormented by pain, seemed to have been bewitched. He reached out his hand to Zhuang Xian. He was unaware of it, but he felt it was a call from his heart.


    When Mo Xi went down to the first floor, he encountered an emergency downstairs again. He was entangled and couldn¡¯t get away at all. When he returned, it was already five minutes later.


    Mo Xi looked at the scattered clothes, shoes, and socks on the ground, and his heart suddenly hung up. This was not a good sign!


    The family doctor and nurses who had followed him up did not show any reaction on their faces, but they already knew what was going on!


    They were all adults, and there was no need to say what had happened. Their young master had been enlightened!


    But Mo Xi felt that something was wrong. The young master was not such a person!


    He followed the trail and looked in the direction of the bathroom. There was the soft sound of water and a man¡¯s low breathing.


    Mo Xi motioned for the people behind him to stop, and he slowly approached.


    He took a few deep breaths and was about to knock on the door to ask, but the bathroom door was flung open from the inside. Mo Xi was stunned and asked with a dazed expression, ¡°Miss Zhuang, what are you doing here? Where¡¯s my young master?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Xi, who had arrived late, and complained in her heart. If he had come any later, she would have been at her wit¡¯s end.


    Zhuang Xian said coldly, ¡°Is the doctor here yet? Bring the medicine box over!¡±


    Maxi nodded subconsciously. Then, following Zhuang Xian¡¯s instructions, he called the doctor and walked into the bathroom.


    The scene in the bathroom made the two people who had just walked in drop their jaws in shock.

 Chapter 44 - I Am Saving Him

    She saw Mo Qian lying alone in the vast bathtub, wearing only thin suit pants.


    His hair was already wet, dripping on his handsome face. From time to time, he would let out a breath or two, and the firm muscles on his upper body were even more sexy and attractive under the reflection of the water!


    Maxi felt that the young master should be in a sorry state right now, especially when he had revealed a side of him unknown to many in front of the Zhuang family¡¯s miss!


    However, looking at the young master¡¯s sexy and wild figure, Mo Xi was a little ashamed of his inferiority. He felt that his young master was already the best as a man.


    In this world, which man could still look so sexy and good-looking at such an embarrassing moment?


    Mo Xi realized that his thoughts were a little strange. What exactly was he expecting to happen between Young Master and Miss Zhuang? Shaking his head, Mo Xi didn¡¯t know if he should be glad that the young master was still wearing pants or not.


    Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at the two people who were so surprised that their mouths were wide open. She said impatiently, ¡°What are you still looking at? Do you two still want to save him?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned and pointed at the doctor, ¡°Come over here! Is there any serum in the medicine box? Quickly give him an injection. If he continues soaking like this, he¡¯ll be useless!¡±


    When Mo Xi heard the three words ¡®He¡¯ll be useless, he suddenly returned to his senses and said anxiously, ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡±


    The doctor was pushed by Mo Xi and quickly regained his senses.


    He restrained his curiosity and gossiping heart and scrutinized Mo Qian¡¯s situation.


    While the other party was checking, Zhuang Xian said, ¡°Mr. Mo was drugged by a woman wearing an indigo dress designed by Judge. The dosage was too high, and he was poisoned! Give him a shot of the serum, and I¡¯ll give him a few more needles to get rid of the poison. He¡¯ll be fine!¡±


    As she spoke, Zhuang Xian had already pressed Mo Qian down.


    Compared to Mo Qian¡¯s disheveled state, Zhuang Xian¡¯s skirt was only slightly wet, and her hair was slightly messy. However, looking at her like this, she still had a kind of soul-stirring messy beauty.


    The doctor quickly took out the serum from the first aid kit and looked at Mo Xi from the side.


    In a short period, he could determine that Mo Qian had been poisoned. However, the specific poison still needed professional equipment to determine. However, Mo Qian¡¯s current condition was not optimistic, so he needed someone who could decide whether to listen to this lady or not.


    Mo Xi nodded. Zhuang Xian had no reason to harm Mo Qian.


    Zhuang Xian had the excellent foresight to stop Mo Qian from doing this.


    Mo Qian was extremely sensitive at the moment. Even a simple touch from Zhuang Xian made him tremble uncontrollably, let alone the serum.


    Subconsciously, Mo Qian was very dependent on Zhuang Xian.


    Mo Xi dismissed the extra people in the room, then carried Mo Qian out of the bathroom and placed him on the bed.


    Mo Qian¡¯s condition seemed to be better than before. Mo Xi turned back to look at Zhuang Xian, silently asking for their next move.


    Zhuang Xian looked at him and took the acupuncture bag that the doctor had brought over. She said softly, ¡°If I were you, I¡¯d use this opportunity to find out where that woman went.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian mentioned the brand and color of the clothes, Mo Xi already had an answer in his heart. But out of caution, she still asked, ¡°I¡¯m not suspecting Ms. Zhuang, but to avoid any misunderstandings, may I ask Ms. Zhuang to explain what you just saw?¡±


    Zhuang Xian wanted to finish her good deed, so she briefly explained what had just happened to Mo Xi.


    The doctor was no longer interested in his boss¡¯s gossip. He was now entirely attracted by Zhuang Xian¡¯s excellent Chinese medicine skills and the deft and steady way she inserted the needles!


    She had just heard manager Mo call her Miss Zhuang. Could she be the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family?


    Even though the doctor was not considered a figure in this circle, he had heard quite a bit about the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter. He did not expect her to have such high attainments in Chinese medicine!


    Wasn¡¯t she only 16 years old? Oh my God, she couldn¡¯t be a medical genius.


    As Zhuang Xian spoke to Mo Xi, it didn¡¯t stop her from giving Mo Qian an injection to detoxify him.


    After inserting the last needle into the last acupuncture point, Zhuang Xian stopped and said to Mo Xi, ¡°The woman I was talking about just now probably doesn¡¯t know anything about medicine. That¡¯s why she didn¡¯t hold back.¡±

 Chapter 45 - Explain

    Zhuang Xian gave Mo Xi a meaningful look, and everyone understood her meaning.


    To Mo Qian, being almost killed by a woman who wanted to rise to power was not something to be proud of or publicized.


    ¡°Although the effects of ¡®drunken dream¡¯ were strong, I could suppress it in time. I also helped him draw out the remaining poison with silver needles. He should be fine after a few days of rest.¡± Zhuang Xian said as she took out a disinfectant paper and carefully wiped her fingers.


    Mo Xi had already ordered her subordinates to capture Lan Ling. At this moment, she looked at Zhuang Xian, who was about to leave, and said anxiously, ¡°Ms. Zhuang, why don¡¯t you wait for the young master to wake up before you leave?¡±


    He looked at Zhuang Xian awkwardly. Lan Ling had run away, and he had not caught her yet. If the young master woke up, he would be unable to explain it.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Xi with a strange expression. ¡°Why?¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt that she had been away for too long. If she didn¡¯t return now, she was afraid her family would worry about her. But looking at Mo Xi¡¯s expression, it seemed he did not want to let her go.


    She had clearly explained the whole story. Two surveillance cameras were installed at the door if he didn¡¯t believe her. He would know that she was telling the truth after checking!


    The question stifled Mo Xi¡¯s heart. He was too embarrassed to ask Miss Zhuang to explain to the young master on his behalf. After all, this was caused by his negligence and carelessness.


    Just as Zhuang Xian thought that Mo Xi would not reply and was about to leave, Mo Xi looked at the silver needle in Mo Qian¡¯s chest and said anxiously, ¡°Ms. Zhuang, you haven¡¯t pulled out your silver needles!¡±


    Zhuang Xian rolled her eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s effortless to be a doctor in your family.¡±


    The doctor pretended not to hear the sarcasm in her words. He lowered his head and did not react.


    The Mo family¡¯s treatment was quite good, and he wanted to continue working there.


    Mo Xi smiled foolishly and explained, ¡°Ms. Zhuang, you¡¯d better wait a while. When Young Master wakes up, he¡¯ll be able to thank you for saving his life in time!¡±


    ¡°No need, it¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just curious about how she bought ¡®drunken dream¡¯. I¡¯ll do it myself if you guys don¡¯t want to check. As for thanks, forget it.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she lifted her skirt and left.


    Maxi could not stop her anymore and could only watch her leave respectfully.


    He felt that Zhuang Xian and Lan Ling were two different people in his heart. If Lan Ling had saved their young master, she would probably have taken advantage of her nose and climbed up to the sky, aiming for the position of Mo family¡¯s young Madam.


    So, it was very reasonable that their young master didn¡¯t like Lan Ling.


    Mo Xi stared at the doctor and removed the silver needles from Mo Qian¡¯s body as Zhuang Xian had instructed. After the doctor assured him that he was fine, he finally calmed down and began to ask about the situation of the capture of Lan Ling.


    Lan Ling, who had just escaped from the room with a guilty conscience, was now hiding in the bathroom on the first floor of the Mo family.


    Lan Ling wanted to slap herself hard, but she didn¡¯t dare to do it. She was even more afraid of pain and disfiguring her face.


    Looking at herself in the mirror, Lan Ling remorsefully scolded, ¡°Useless! Trash! You ran away after being frightened by that little B*tch! Even if Mo Xi blocked you, as long as you don¡¯t admit it, who can say that you did it?You¡¯re big brother Qian¡¯s Savior; he¡¯ll believe you more! Stupid!¡±


    However, no matter how much Lan Ling regretted it, it was useless.


    Her guilty conscience and panic just now had made her lose her sense of decency and strategy, causing her to do something that failed at the last moment.


    Now that she was in a passive position, that little slut would not let go of this opportunity to make fun of her!


    What should I do? Lan Ling was so anxious that she wanted to jump off the building, but in the next second, the noise of people walking outside the bathroom made her heart jump.


    She had a bad feeling in her heart. Just as she was secretly praying that these people would not come looking for her, the cold voice of the bodyguards rang from outside the door. ¡°Miss Lan, Young Master has been looking for you for a long time. Come out and come back with us!¡±


    Mo Qian had already woken up? Was he still looking for her? Didn¡¯t that mean that he was terrific? Lan Ling¡¯s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.


    Lan Ling¡¯s heart was slightly conflicted, but she still reached out to open the bathroom door and slowly walked out.


    Looking at the bodyguards waiting outside, Lan Ling still felt a little guilty, but she tried to comfort herself.


    It¡¯ll be fine. Brother Qian shouldn¡¯t blame me too much!

 Chapter 46 - The Troublemaker

    In Lan Ling¡¯s heart, she didn¡¯t feel she had done anything wrong.


    It was only because she loved Mo Qian too much and wanted to have him. She wanted to be with him forever, so she took such a risk.


    Lan Ling had thought about it seriously. There was still room for discussion.


    If she handled it well and pushed all the blame on that little B*tch, mixing the real and the fake so that others couldn¡¯t tell, she naturally wouldn¡¯t have to worry about not having a reason to refute. Mo Qian wouldn¡¯t directly fall out with her.


    When she got close to Mo Qian, he seemed to have lost consciousness and was no longer awake. How could Brother Qian be sure that she was the one who had harmed him?


    After all, one could never know a person¡¯s true nature. If she refused to admit it, Brother Qian could not do anything to her.


    Of course, this was just Lan Ling¡¯s beautiful imagination and assumption. The actual situation was that Mo Qian had not woken up at this moment. It was Mo Xi who called for people to catch her!


    In the Mo family¡¯s reception hall, everyone realized Mo Qian had not appeared for a long time. However, out of respect for the Mo family, no one raised any doubts.


    Zhuang Huai glanced at his sister, who had also left for a long time and had just returned. His intuition told him that something was wrong. He asked Zhuang Xian softly, ¡°Where did you go just now? What took you so long?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Huai and took a sip of her orange juice. She explained calmly, ¡°I went to the washroom and touched up my makeup, and I was delayed. What? Can¡¯t I?¡±


    Zhuang Xian knew that her third brother was not just asking her where she had been. He was starting to gossip about her and Mo Qian again.


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhuang Huai said in an enigmatic manner. Suddenly, the hall became noisy, attracting his attention.


    ¡°Where did President Mo go to change his clothes? Why hasn¡¯t he come back? We¡¯re still waiting for him! When is he coming back?¡± In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man with a big belly held a glass of wine in his hand and swayed on his feet. He talked loudly in a depressed tone.


    He had come to the Mo family¡¯s banquet today to discuss a project with Mo Qian. However, the moment he arrived, Mo Qian was surrounded by people. When the crowd finally relaxed, he wanted to come over, but Mo Qian had specially gone out to welcome the Zhuang family. To show his sincerity, he suppressed his impatience and chose to wait.


    After that, Mo Qian¡¯s clothes were dirtied by someone. He said that he wanted to change his clothes. However, half an hour had passed, and he had already downed a few glasses of wine, but he still did not see even half a shadow of Mo Qian.


    If Mo Qian didn¡¯t come down, wouldn¡¯t he have to return empty-handed today? Of course, that wouldn¡¯t do. That was why he chose to take the initiative.


    Uncle Mo had already heard about his Young Master¡¯s situation from Mo Xi. He looked at the middle-aged man calmly, then smiled at everyone. ¡°Distinguished guests, my young master has an urgent matter to deal with. He won¡¯t make you wait for long, so please rest assured! Later, my young master will take out a few bottles of good wine he has kept for many years and share them with everyone. Please forgive him!¡±


    Uncle Mo explained Mo Qian¡¯s departure in a few words. He took the initiative to apologize to the guests present on his behalf. He had the demeanor of a big family, advancing and retreating appropriately, neither humble nor arrogant.


    Uncle Mo had been managing the family affairs for Mo Qian for many years. He had seen all kinds of storms and waves. This kind of situation was nothing to him. He was more worried about Mo Qian himself.


    However, the noisy middle-aged man seemed to be intoxicated. He was unsatisfied with Uncle Mo¡¯s answer and continued to shout, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense with me. Quickly call President Mo out! I¡¯m here to talk business with him today! Hahaha! If you delay President Mo and me from making money, be careful of your miserable life!¡±


    Zhuang Ming saw that the man was drunk, so she smiled and said slowly, ¡°President Zhao, don¡¯t be so impatient! Who didn¡¯t have a time when they couldn¡¯t leave? President Mo must have been caught up in something urgent! Since he said that he wouldn¡¯t let us wait for too long, he would keep his word. Let¡¯s wait. ¡±


    Zhuang Ming had good intentions to ease the awkward situation. Since they were all business people, he advised him with good words.


    In the social world, sometimes it was better to give others convenience. It was better to make friends than to make enemies.


    However, the man known as Director Zhao seemed to have a lousy alcohol tolerance. Not only did he not listen to Zhuang Ming¡¯s kind advice, he also became even angrier.


    I

 Chapter 47 - Waking Up

    President Zhao¡¯s face was red, but his voice was like thunder as he shouted, ¡°Urgent? Isn¡¯t this an urgent matter? I don¡¯t care, get Mo Qian out here, or I¡¯ll smash his party. ¡±


    This President Zhao seemed to have completely forgotten where he was drunk.


    The Mo family was not a place where he could act presumptuously. He dared to call Mo Qian by his full name and even threatened to smash Mo Qian¡¯s party. Wasn¡¯t this a slap to Mo Qian¡¯s face?


    Uncle Mo would not allow such a thing to happen. He said coldly, ¡°This Mr. Zhao must have drunk too much. Please rest, Mr. Zhao, and allow him to wake up. ¡±


    As soon as Uncle Mo finished speaking, three strong bodyguards walked up from both sides. They looked grave, and their eyes occasionally revealed a fierce light.


    President Zhao¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at the iron-like people beside him. He shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll see who dares to touch me!¡±


    He was about to reprimand them a few more times when he heard that deep but incredibly majestic voice.


    ¡°So what if I touch you?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s face was as cold as ice. Sitting in a wheelchair not far away, he looked at him coldly. His voice was like an ice sword dipped in cold poison, crushing his heart.


    Mo Xi pushed Mo Qian over. Mo Qian quickly retracted his aggressive gaze and ordered in a calm voice, ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to wake up. Just throw him out from the front door.¡±


    His calm expression didn¡¯t seem like he was dealing with a slightly famous company representative. Instead, he looked like he was throwing away some disgusting garbage.


    Mo Qian¡¯s cold aura seemed to have cleared President Zhao¡¯s mind. He only reacted after a long time and tried to break free from the bodyguards ¡®grip on his hands. He apologized anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Mo! I was wrong! I drank too much. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose! Can you give me a chance? I have a big project for you to look over. Can you give me some time? I¡¯m begging you, President Mo. ¡±


    Mo Qian could not be bothered to look at him. He peeked into the crowd and saw Zhuang Xian.


    How could Mo Xi not understand his young master¡¯s meaning? It was whimsical for a small company representative to buy an invitation card from somewhere and sneak into the banquet.


    In front of the Mo Corporation, no project could be considered a big project.


    He was hoping for a fluke in his heart. He was daydreaming, delusionally hoping to taste some sweetness in the Mo family¡¯s fingers. This person was also foolish. CEO Zhuang had already tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen. He just wanted to treat himself as a dish and thought people would care about his clamor.


    Mo Xi tilted slightly and gestured for his subordinates to throw the man out.


    Uncle Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his young master was safe and sound, but his face remained calm.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian with a confused expression. In her heart, she was a little surprised. She did not expect Mo Qian to wake up so quickly. After all, Mo Qian had been hit by many drunken dreams!


    It seemed like President Mo was not only cruel to others but also cruel to himself. Even Zhuang Xian was starting to admire him.


    Mo Qian was wearing a black silk shirt. Other than that, there were no other accessories. However, this made him look even more graceful and noble. He even looked a little sexy and seductive.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Mo Qian, who was approaching him and nodded with a faint smile. ¡°President Mo¡¯s wine is excellent.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you like it, President Zhuang. Take two bottles back later as well.¡± Mo Qian said slowly. Seeing that Zhuang Ming was about to decline, he chuckled and said, ¡°President Zhuang, please don¡¯t decline. Take it as thanks for speaking up for you just now.¡±


    Now that she was much closer to Mo Qian, Zhuang Xian could finally see the redness in his eyes and pale lips.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her, but after seeing this, she heaved a sigh of relief. Mo Qian was not as strong and fearless as she had imagined.


    Perhaps it was because Zhuang Xian was too focused on Mo Qian that both Mo Qian and Zhuang Huai noticed her absent-mindedness.


    Zhuang Huai pinched his sister¡¯s face and said disappointedly, ¡°What are you looking at? You¡¯ve come back to your senses!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s handsome brows furrowed slightly as he watched Zhuang Huai pinch Zhuang Xian¡¯s face affectionately. Most importantly, Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t resist. Instead, she looked at Zhuang Huai helplessly.


    ¡°Mrs. Zhuang, can I borrow your precious daughter for a while?¡± Mo Qian retracted his deep gaze and turned his head to look at Lin En as he asked softly.


    Perhaps he felt his suggestion was slightly abrupt, so Mo Qian added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t be long.¡±

 Chapter 48 - Curious

    Lin En was taken aback, not entirely understanding what Mo Qian was trying to do. However, she smiled gently after seeing Mo Qian¡¯s open and honest eyes. ¡°Of course, you can.¡±


    She pulled Zhuang Xian over as she spoke and said gently, ¡°Go on, baby. Maybe President Mo has something to tell you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Mo Qian, curious how this man had woken up so quickly. She nodded her head and left with Mo Qian.


    Zhuang Ming still didn¡¯t understand what was going on. Lin En pulled on his sleeve just as he was about to ask a few more questions. Zhuang Ming looked down at her and asked in confusion, ¡°Why are you pulling me?¡±


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Lin En rolled his eyes at him. You¡¯re acting like an old hen protecting its chicks. Is President Mo going to eat your daughter up?¡±


    Zhuang Ming was at a loss for words. ¡°I ¡­¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at the back view of Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian as they left, then at his parents. He felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had been fed a lot of dog food.


    Mo Xi silently followed behind his young master and Miss Zhuang, thinking about the scene they had just seen on the second floor.


    He didn¡¯t expect his young master to wake up in time. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to ask him about what had happened.


    He didn¡¯t dare to hide anything and told Mo Qian everything he knew, including the surveillance video he had just transferred back.


    The video was self-explanatory. Lan Ling and Zhuang Xian entered Mo Qian¡¯s room one after the other. However, not long after, Lan Ling left the room in a panic. Then, it was the video of Mo Xi entering the room with the medical staff.


    Combined with the incident on the first floor where Lan Ling wet Mo Qian¡¯s clothes with wine, the cause, and effect of the incident were very clear.


    If there were no accidents, all of this might be as Zhuang Xian had said, directed, and acted by Lan Ling.


    If Mo Xi could think of it, Mo Qian would naturally understand it. He looked coldly at Lan Ling in the video for a long time before he asked Mo Xi in a hoarse voice if Lan Ling had been caught.


    Mo Xi nodded and reported that Lan Ling was temporarily detained on the first floor.


    Mo Xi had thought this matter would have to be resolved after the banquet, but he had not expected Young Master to look for Miss Zhuang directly. Was he here to go to make trouble?


    Zhuang Xian followed Mo Qian and entered a room on the corner of the first floor.


    Mo Xi pulled a chair for Zhuang Xian, who sat down calmly. When she saw Mo Qian only looking at her without saying a word, she retracted her gaze. She said in a calm tone, ¡°Boss Mo¡¯s recovery ability is amazing! It¡¯s only been a short while, and you¡¯re already full of energy?¡±


    Seeing how honest and direct Zhuang Xian was, Mo Qian¡¯s expression relaxed.


    He raised his eyebrows and said gently, ¡°Yes, we still have to thank fourth Miss Zhuang for saving our lives!¡±


    ¡°You pulled me here just to say this?¡± Zhuang Xian asked, a little confused.


    Mo Qian looked at her with a probing look in his eyes. He said frankly, ¡°Of course not. I want to ask Miss Zhuang, how did you know something was wrong with the wine spilled on my clothes? How did you get into my room to catch Lan Ling?¡±


    Zhuang Xian realized who Lan Ling was and asked, ¡°The Lan Ling you¡¯re talking about, is she the woman in the Indigo gown?¡±


    Mo Qian was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Xian not to know Lan Ling¡¯s name. He nodded his head to show that it was.


    Zhuang Xian looked deeply at Mo Qian. After a long while, she seemed to have understood something and asked, ¡°What does President Mo mean? You¡¯re not suspecting that I did this. Anyone with eyes and a brain should be able to see what¡¯s going on, right?¡±


    Mo Qian looked at her as if he didn¡¯t care about her offensive words. He said in a warm and calm voice, ¡°I¡¯m not suspecting you, but I¡¯m curious how you know there¡¯s a problem with Lan Ling. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian stared at him for a long time. Seeing his honest expression, she reluctantly believed his words. She explained, ¡°Because I can smell the smell of drunken dreams, and I happen to know that it was Lan Ling who poured the champagne on you and followed you upstairs, so I was so curious!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian said the last few words, she deliberately emphasized them. She felt a little indignant.


    She tried to save Mo Qian out of goodwill, but he questioned her instead.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to be a good person in your Mo family! If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave. ¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she put down her hands and stood up to leave.

 Chapter 49 - Evidence

    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian and felt that she was adorable. He smiled and gently advised, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry! I¡¯m just asking out of curiosity! I know you saved me with good intentions.¡±


    Seeing that she was still coldly ignoring him, Mo Qian suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to Lan Ling and ask her? I will ask her to tell you everything you want to know! So, are you interested?¡±


    Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Mo Qian.


    A few minutes later, a woman with messy makeup and disheveled clothes was brought into the room.


    As soon as Lan Ling entered the door, she saw Zhuang Xian. After being stunned for a moment, she turned to Mo Qian and asked softly and gently, ¡°Brother Qian, what are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Where did you get this drunken dream?¡± Mo Qian acted as if he didn¡¯t hear her question and asked directly.


    Lan Ling looked at Mo Qian¡¯s cold expression, and her heart suddenly panicked. However, she asked in confusion, ¡°Big brother Qian, what are you talking about? What drunken dream?¡±


    She glanced at Zhuang Xian and felt she shouldn¡¯t be passively waiting for Mo Qian¡¯s question, so she pointed at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°What about you? What did you say to bewitch Brother Qian?¡±


    As she spoke, she turned her head. She continued to speak to Mo Qian, ¡°Big brother Qian, you don¡¯t know this, but I wanted to go upstairs and apologize to you because I dirtied your clothes! When I went over, I found that Mo Xi was not there, and you looked drunk, so I wanted to help you change!


    ¡°But this woman suddenly barged in and started to sneer at me! Strangers were not allowed to enter Brother Qian¡¯s room, so I told her to leave quickly. However, she kept bugging me, and I realized I was no match for her. That¡¯s why I rushed back to the first floor to get help! I don¡¯t understand why Mo Xi suddenly got someone to arrest me. This has nothing to do with me!¡±


    Lan Ling looked at Mo Qian with a face full of sincerity, as if everyone had wronged her.


    Mo Xi admired Lan Ling¡¯s remarkable eloquence. He would have applauded her if it wasn¡¯t for the inappropriate scene.


    After listening to Lan Ling¡¯s nonsense, Zhuang Xian only felt it was funny. She smiled at Lan Ling and asked, ¡°Have we met before? Do you have a grudge against me?¡±


    Lan Ling frowned and looked at Zhuang Xian. She said coldly, ¡°Stop pretending to be innocent! Did you follow us to the second floor because you wanted to do something too, big brother Qian? don¡¯t even think about hurting big brother Qian!¡±


    She didn¡¯t know why, but after Lan Ling finished speaking, the scene suddenly became cold.


    ¡°Oh? Then why are you the one kneeling on the ground?¡± Zhuang Xian had enough of being speechless, so she asked sarcastically.


    Lan Ling felt that she had performed well just now, and Mo Qian should believe her. Her beautiful and unrealistic hope was like a bubble under the sun, bursting with a single poke.


    While Lan Ling and Zhuang Xian were talking, Mo Qian took out his phone and opened an app. He clicked ¡®start,¡¯ and the app started to play the video in Mo Qian¡¯s room.


    ¡®Get lost! I advise you to mind your own business! This is brother Qian¡¯s room. Do you want to die for barging in?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about the rest ¡­ But if you tell me where you got your ¡®drunken dream¡¯, I might be merciful and not disturb you!¡±


    ¡°How much did you use on him? Are you trying to assassinate Mo Qian? Mr. Mo¡¯s condition is a sign of poisoning after taking too much medicine!¡±


    ¡°This is none of your business! Leave this place quickly, or I¡¯ll call the police!¡±


    ¡°Then call the police.¡±


    ¡°Either call the police or come over to help! Or do you want to kill him?¡±


    ¡°F*ck! She ran away! Let¡¯s see if you can grow wings and fly out of the Mo family!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m hot ¡­¡±


    Lan Ling saw the video clearly and looked at Mo Qian as if she had seen a ghost. Which average person would install a surveillance camera in their sleeping place? Who was Mo Qian guarding against?


    Mo Qian had been watching Lan Ling during this period. The video ended at a rather strange place, and Mo Qian cut it off in time. He asked coldly, ¡°Do you still have anything to say?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes darted back and forth between Lan Ling and Mo Qian, finally landing on Mo Qian. This man had irrefutable evidence in his hands! Then what was he doing just now? Was he playing with them?


    Mo Qian noticed that Zhuang Xian was looking at him, so he turned his head and met her eyes.


    Mo Xi didn¡¯t expect the young master to have such a trick up his sleeve, and he looked at him with admiration.

 Chapter 50 - Token

    Lan Ling was utterly flustered. She looked at Mo Qian in a sorry state, her eyes filled with tears. She shook her head and denied it in a hurry, ¡°This ¡­ This doesn¡¯t mean anything, brother Qian? Don¡¯t you believe me? I don¡¯t know what drunken dream is!¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and looked at Lan Ling sarcastically. ¡°You¡¯re really stubborn! They¡¯ve already stuffed the evidence into your mouth, and you will still not admit it?¡±


    ¡°What do I admit? I didn¡¯t do anything! What kind of evidence is this? In this video, I never said that I had anything to do with a drunken dream, and you can¡¯t tell I was the one who brought drunken dream in! Don¡¯t you dare frame me!¡±


    Lan Ling shouted as if Zhuang Xian had pinched her tail. But because of her lack of confidence, her voice broke in the middle.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her, unmoved. She even turned her head speechlessly. No matter how Lan Ling quibbled and denied it, it was all in vain in front of the irrefutable evidence.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was ignoring her, Lan Ling turned to Mo Qian and cried, ¡°Big brother Qian! I love you so much. Can¡¯t you trust me this once? Don¡¯t be deceived by her! Have you forgotten? I saved you before! Why would I harm you instead?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes slowly shifted to her, but they were filled with coldness.


    ¡°Is that so?¡± he asked coldly. Since you didn¡¯t harm me, why are you hiding? Didn¡¯t you spill the champagne on my clothes? The drunken dream in the champagne ¡­ Did it appear out of thin air? Although I was poisoned, I didn¡¯t lose my mind! Therefore, your sophistry is very laughable to me. ¡±


    ¡°I ¡­¡± Lan Ling still wanted to cry and complain, but she was interrupted by Mo Qian coldly.


    ¡°I already know what I should know. You don¡¯t have to try to get away with it! Tell me where the drunken dream came from, and I¡¯ll let you live!¡± Mo Qian subconsciously wanted to turn the ring on his hand, but he realized that he had forgotten to wear it in his hurry to go downstairs. He touched his bare fingers and said coldly.


    Lan Ling looked at this man who was as cold as a god of death, and her heart was cold.


    No! This wasn¡¯t her Mo Qian. Mo Qian wouldn¡¯t speak to her like this! He must have been impersonated.


    Lan Ling seemed to have gone crazy. She began to tremble and laugh for no reason. She even crawled and rushed to Mo Qian. She held the pedal of his wheelchair, shook her head, and shouted, ¡°No! You are not my brother Qian! Brother Qian loves me! I¡¯m his Savior. He wouldn¡¯t be so harsh to me! If you¡¯re not him, Who are you? Give me back, my big brother Qian!¡±


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t want to talk to Lan Ling anymore. He raised his hand and motioned for Mo Xi to come over and pull her away.


    Mo Xi stepped forward quickly, reached out, and pulled Lan Ling away. He pressed her down fiercely and said sternly, ¡°Quickly tell me the truth, Lan Ling! This way, you can also suffer less physical pain!¡±


    Lan Ling was pressed down on the ground by Mo Xi, and the necklace on her neck was thrown out in a struggle.


    There was an exquisite and unique men¡¯s ring around the necklace. It could be worn as a pendant, as long as one did not look at it carefully.


    But now that Lan Ling was in front of Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Xian could see it. As a fashion worker, Zhuang Xian¡¯s sharp senses told her that the ring did not belong to Lan Ling!


    As the ring rolled out, Mo Qian and Mo Xi looked at Zhuang Xian almost simultaneously. They were eager to see a different expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face.


    However, Zhuang Xian only frowned slightly and did not say anything, as if she had never seen this thing before.


    Mo Xi was a little disappointed. The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter had no unusual reaction to this pinky ring!


    1


    This was one of the items the young master had left behind when he was in danger at Kyushu port. Its origin was not simple. It symbolized Young Master¡¯s identity as the young master of the Mo family!


    Lan Ling had always been carrying it with her. She used this token to prove she was the young master¡¯s Savior. Because the pinky ring was unique and had great power, once it was lost, it was regarded as lost by the central family and had no practical use.


    However, it was used by Lan Ling to freeload the Mo family¡¯s wealth for nearly a year. She even used it to have some whimsical dreams!


    Since the young master ordered to re-investigate the Kyushu port incident, Mo Xi understood that Lan Ling wouldn¡¯t stay in the Mo family for long. The young master was intelligent and wise, and his orders had never gone wrong. Since he was suspicious of Lan Ling, there must be a problem with Lan Ling¡¯s identity.


    However, the bold thought in Mo Xi¡¯s heart sank when looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression.

 Chapter 51 - Three wishes

    Mo Qian¡¯s expression was calm as if he was not very disappointed.


    Mo Xi was puzzled. Why was this so? Did he miss out on some vital information again? Why did he feel he couldn¡¯t keep up with Young Master¡¯s thoughts?


    Lan Ling, who was in a state of madness, seemed to have lost her rationality at this moment. She couldn¡¯t accept that she had made a wrong move and ended up in this losing situation. She didn¡¯t want to believe that Mo Qian was so heartless to her. Was the special treatment she had received in the past year fake?


    Lan Ling¡¯s throat was hoarse from shouting. She lowered her head and sobbed, ¡°Big brother Qian, I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I love you too much! I want to always be with you; I¡¯m not wrong! Why can¡¯t you accept me? I love you!¡±


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t get the answer he wanted from Zhuang Xian. He was in a bad mood at the moment. He looked at Lan Ling with red eyes and sneered, ¡°You love me? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous? You¡¯re just coveting my power. Do you think I don¡¯t know?¡±


    Mo Qian raised his head, his cold and arrogant disposition stifling people. ¡°Take her away. Without my permission, don¡¯t let anyone see her.¡±


    Mo Xi lowered his head and listened to the order. He didn¡¯t dare to delay and pulled LAN Ling out of the room. He knew that his young master was unhappy again.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian and felt that he was all alone. She had experienced this feeling before.


    Zhuang Xian sighed and said in a low voice, ¡°At least you still have power that people are jealous of. That¡¯s very good.¡±


    Her words seemed to be comforting him. Mo Qian looked at her with some uncertainty.


    In the next second, Mo Qian suddenly broke into a smile. He smiled gently and said, ¡°It seems I still can¡¯t complete what I promised you. I can only owe you another favor!¡±


    The tone of Mo Qian¡¯s words just now hint of guile, as if the gloomy person a second ago was not him.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful eyes, which were as bright as the stars, were currently looking at Mo Qian with an undefined meaning.


    This man was the head of the Mo family and was respected by everyone. He was undoubtedly the most respected and influential person in City H. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the king of City H.


    However, in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, Mo Qian was just an ordinary man with flesh and blood.


    Mo Qian would also be betrayed by people he trusted. There were times when he was in a difficult position. He was disappointed, angry, irritated, and sad at times. This was more vivid than the time Zhuang Xian had met him.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t know that Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts were changing much. He looked at the silent and expressionless Zhuang Xian, unable to guess what she was thinking. He added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even without Lan Ling, I will find the source of the drunken dream. Give me some time, okay?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression relaxed.


    She chuckled and said, ¡°This is not an urgent matter. President Mo, you can investigate it slowly. There¡¯s no rush.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian nodded lightly. After a pause, he said with a faint smile, ¡°It¡¯s been a terrible day for you to see me in such a sorry state. You managed to stop this in time, thanks to your wit and decisiveness. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.¡±


    Regardless of whether this matter had happened, it was very shameful for the Mo family. Lan Ling¡¯s behavior was not only challenging Mo Qian¡¯s bottom line but also challenging the entire Mo family!


    ¡°Even though you said there¡¯s no need to thank you, I still want to express my gratitude. I can promise to help you fulfill three wishes.¡± Mo Qian pinched his fingers and looked up at Zhuang Xian as he spoke gently.


    Zhuang Xian felt that she couldn¡¯t understand Mo Qian anymore. Who would rush to help others fulfill their wishes? Did drunken dreams have any side effects that she didn¡¯t know about?


    However, it didn¡¯t seem like a loss for her to get the head of the Mo family to help her complete three requests.


    ¡°Since President Mo is so polite, I won¡¯t decline.¡± Zhuang Xian nodded slightly in agreement. ¡°Now that we¡¯re done with the interrogation, I¡¯ll take my leave. See you, President Mo.¡±


    There was no one else in the room. Both of them had been alone in the room for so long. It would not be good if someone with ulterior motives found out!

 Chapter 52 - Have You Not Seen it Before?

    Zhuang Xian had no intention of getting involved in any scandals with Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t notice that they had been in the same space for a long time or noticed it, but he didn¡¯t care.


    His eyes followed Zhuang Xian all the time. Seeing that Zhuang Xian was about to leave, he hurriedly asked her to stay. ¡°You¡¯re leaving? You ¡­ Aren¡¯t you going to tell me your wish now?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at him and asked in confusion, ¡°I don¡¯t have any wishes now.¡±


    She saw a faint disappointment in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes and laughed as she continued, ¡°Why does it seem like President Mo wants to help me with something?¡±


    Mo Qian did not seem to mind Zhuang Xian¡¯s teasing. He looked at her with a burning gaze and said gently, as if he was saying something romantic, ¡°Yes, I can¡¯t wait.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    The omnipotent Zhuang Xian was stunned. She felt her heart skip a beat, and the sound of her heart beating was so loud that it was deafening.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± After Zhuang Xian said this, she started walking away. If it weren¡¯t for her flustered steps and vertiginous high heels, Mo Qian wouldn¡¯t even be able to tell that Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was in a mess.


    ¡°The ring on Lan Ling¡¯s necklace, have you not seen it?¡± The light in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes deepened as he asked in a severe tone.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s body froze. She turned to look at Mo Qian, her brows furrowing slightly. ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Lan Ling isn¡¯t the person who saved me that year. I don¡¯t know how she got the pinky ring that symbolizes my identity! However, I know the person who saved me at Kyushu Harbor wasn¡¯t her. It was someone else!¡± Mo Qian¡¯s tone was very excited and anxious.


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. He looked at Zhuang Xian as if he was eager to get a definite answer from her.


    ¡°Why are you telling me this?¡± Zhuang Xian was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Mo Qian in confusion.


    She didn¡¯t understand why Mo Qian was saying all this in front of her. Were they familiar enough to talk about these private matters?


    What was wrong with Mo Qian? From when Mo Xi took Lan Ling away, he was awry.


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s gaze fixed on her with a hint of disappointment and doubt in his eyes and his stubborn face full of gloom, Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart suddenly throbbed in pain. Then, her head began to feel stuffy and ached faintly.


    Zhuang Xian subconsciously pressed her heart and said to Mo Qian,¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen that ring before, and I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re telling me this. I¡¯m not feeling well, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t call out to her again. From Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression and answer, he had already confirmed his doubts.


    Zhuang Xian had forgotten what had happened in Kyushu Harbor!


    When the ring on Lan Ling¡¯s necklace fell out, mo Qian and Mo Xi could already tell that Zhuang Xian was utterly unfamiliar with this token. It was as if she had never seen the ring or Mo Qian!


    At that time, Mo Xi was suspicious and quickly expressed his disappointment. However, Mo Qian was different. He was unwilling and did not believe that Zhuang Xian was not the person who had saved him back then. Hence, he had a question her directly to test her.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s reaction was different from the first time. Her pained expression and how she pressed her heart told Mo Qian something unusual about her. There must be something else about Zhuang Xian that he did not know about.


    Mo Qian took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to rush up to Zhuang Xian and ask her for an explanation.


    Seeing Zhuang Xian leave in a hurry,Mo Xi returned to the room and asked anxiously, ¡°Young master! What was wrong with Miss Zhuang? Her complexion doesn¡¯t look good. Should this subordinate go over and take a look?¡±


    Mo Qian slowly shook his head, ¡°No need. After the party ends, send someone to take the Zhuang family home. ¡±


    Mo Qian paused for a moment, then continued, ¡°And Lan Ling, you are in charge of ¡®interrogating¡¯ her properly. Squeeze out everything you can about the drunk dream and the pinky ring.¡±


    His tone was indifferent and calm, and his expression was also casual. However, the words that came out of his thin lips were like the god of death in the dark hell, efficiently controlling the life and death of others.


    Mo Xi looked at his young master¡¯s profound and awe-inspiring aura and nodded respectfully and obediently. ¡°Yes, young master.¡±


    Although there were a few small interludes in the middle of the Mo family¡¯s wine party, it ended satisfactorily. The guests were delighted. After all, this was Mo Qian¡¯s home ground! It was something that many people outside could only dream of.

 Chapter 53 - The Sudden Public Opinion

    After the party ended, Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Xian sat in a luxurious, low-key luxury car. Zhuang Xian looked out of the car window with a slightly worried expression.


    Zhuang Huai felt that his sister was acting a little strange. Why was she unhappy again after following Mo Qian out for a while?


    Could it be that he was bullied by that kid? He just felt that Mo Qian wasn¡¯t too reliable!


    ¡°Did Mo Qian bully you? Tell the third brother, and he will think of a way to help you vent your anger. ¡± Zhuang Huai leaned in closer to Zhuang Xian and asked anxiously.


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and turned to look at Zhuang Huai. She was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°Do I look like I¡¯ve been bullied?¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at her furrowed brows and nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid the person who can bully me is not even born yet.¡± Zhuang Xian was a little speechless and retorted softly.


    Zhuang Huai looked at his ¡®arrogant¡¯ sister and nodded in agreement. ¡°Although you¡¯re not wrong, I agree with you. But! Can you tell me why you¡¯re unhappy? Wasn¡¯t you bullied by Mo Qian?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was more and more impressed by her third brother¡¯s imagination. What the hell was this?


    She rolled her eyes at Zhuang Huai and suddenly felt a little tired.


    She didn¡¯t continue to bicker with her third brother. Instead, she looked at the scenery rolling backward outside the window.


    Zhuang Xian was still thinking about Mo Qian¡¯s words.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t look like the kind of person who would rashly talk about his past when he caught someone! Why did he say those things to her? What did Kyushu Harbor and the people who saved him do with her?


    Zhuang Xian had a guess in her heart, but it didn¡¯t make sense, so she gave up on it! It couldn¡¯t be that Mo Qian thought she was the one who saved him at Kyushu Harbor, right?


    Zhuang Xian was confident that before she came to City H, she had never seen Mo Qian, nor had she been to Kyushu Harbor. It was even more impossible for her to have seen that ring!


    So, why did Mo Qian do this?


    Zhuang Xian had always felt that she and Mo Qian were the same. They had always been successful and were not really naive and kind people. Instead, they took revenge for their grudges and repaid their favors for favors. They were also focused.


    Mo Qian couldn¡¯t have done this without reason. It seemed like he would have to get Li Qin to investigate this matter properly after he returned.


    What Zhuang Xian did not know was that at this moment, she was thinking about Li Qin; Li Qin was also thinking about her!


    Li Qin had been protecting Zhuang Xian while suppressing those unknown organizations that wanted to investigate her.


    However, just a few hours ago, when Li Qin was browsing the internet for gossip, he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s name on the hot list.


    ¡®Entertainment news: high-definition video of Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter bullying tourists in a shopping mall exposed!¡¯


    ¡°This is the true face of a fake socialite? The morals of the world are getting worse!¡±


    ¡®Explode! Where did the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter get her confidence from? It¡¯s actually because of him?¡±


    ¡°Economic news: Ming En Group has been making big moves recently, winning several bids!¡± Was it strength? It¡¯s still luck!¡±


    ¡®Explode! Ye group¡¯s press conference!¡±


    Li Qin frowned as he clicked on these few words. He glanced at them several times and then focused on tracking these transaction accounts. He found that they were all notorious bugs in the news industry. If you threw money in, you could make up any unscrupulous account!


    Looking at the malicious slander and rumors, Li Qin thought about it and decided to report it to sister Xian, so he called Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian had just reached home and was about to change her clothes and shower when she received a call from Li Qin.


    When Zhuang Xian looked at the time, it was already past 11 pm. Why would Li Qin be calling her at this time? This did not seem like Li Qin¡¯s style.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    When Li Qin heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice over the phone, it was as if he had found a pillar of support. He quickly reported, ¡°Sister Xian, did you see the hot news? You¡¯ve been maliciously targeted by someone who bought a transaction account, and now the trending news is full of people scolding you and the Zhuang family! What happened at the mall that day? Why did it only pop up today?¡±


    Zhuang Xian could hear Li Qin¡¯s anxiety and worry, so she calmly asked. Are you talking about what happened at Judge¡¯s shop the other day?¡±


    ¡°Yes, sister Xian! That was so long ago; why would it be exposed to defame you and the Zhuang family?¡± Li Qin asked.


    ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll go check out the hot chart,¡± Zhuang Xian said calmly.


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she turned on her computer. When she opened the web page, she immediately saw the scarlet and vivid entry.

 Chapter 54 - Conspiracy And Plot

    After a few glances, Zhuang Xian had a general idea of what they were talking about. She thought for a moment and said to Li Qin, ¡°They chose to post it at this time because they wanted to use the late night to let the public opinion ferment so that they can hit us in one blow tomorrow! Do you see the last two lines?¡±


    Li Qin responded to show that he had seen it. The last two messages were about the Zhuang family¡¯s Ming En Group and Ye Group!


    Zhuang Xian tapped on the computer keyboard and said, ¡°The ones in front are all covering for these two! Their motive is to use me to smear the Zhuang family¡¯s name. Their methods are not simple. This was no ordinary gossip but a means of the business circle! I¡¯m guessing there will be a lot of black material released in the future, so keep a close eye on it!¡±


    After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s analysis, Li Qin¡¯s heart turned cold, and goosebumps appeared on his hands.


    ¡°Who would be so treacherous and sinister?¡± he asked anxiously. Not only did he want to ruin sister Xian, but he also wanted to use this to attack the Ming En Group. He was too devious! Such a vicious heart!¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled. ¡°It won¡¯t be easy for them to kill two birds with one stone.¡±


    ¡°Sister Xian, do you already know who¡¯s behind this? Who was it? How are we going to return the favor? Just say it; I¡¯ll do it!¡± Li Qin seemed to have been infected by Zhuang Xian¡¯s calmness. It seems he had found his backbone, and his confidence was instantly filled up. He didn¡¯t feel this was a complex problem to solve anymore. He was even very excited to start retaliating against them.


    Zhuang Xian was silent for a while before slowly replying, ¡°Did you see the last entry? The Ye family is definitely involved. They¡¯re trying to use both open and private schemes!¡±


    Li Qin only saw the sinister side of the other party, but he didn¡¯t see the open scheme that sister Xian had mentioned. Was this the difference between him and a genius? How could sister Xian be so thoughtful?


    ¡°Their plan is still too simple. Dad is not a simple person! Ming En¡¯s strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Father had long taken precautions! We don¡¯t have to worry too much! What you need to do now is to find someone to follow Ye Xin from the Ye family and report her whereabouts to me in real time!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to cover up the black material and public opinion on the internet, don¡¯t go head to head with them for the time being! This might be a good opportunity!¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes lit up as she spoke.


    A true expert would not be afraid of a crisis. Instead, he was good at finding opportunities in crisis and counterattacking with the power of thunder at the right time. He would turn the crisis into his turning point, make public opinion work for him, and create more benefits for himself!


    Li Qin didn¡¯t have Zhuang Xian¡¯s logical solid thinking and couldn¡¯t think of so many things in the end. However, he knew that he had to follow Zhuang Xian¡¯s orders!


    It didn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t know those things. As long as he held onto Zhuang Xian¡¯s thigh tightly, he would definitely be safe.


    Li Qin never questioned Zhuang Xian¡¯s decision and immediately followed her instructions.


    Zhuang Xian threw her phone aside and raised her hand to press on her forehead. She had really been worried about a lot of things tonight.


    In the main bedroom on the second floor, Zhuang Ming had just finished his call with the company. Lin En looked at her serious-looking husband and asked softly, ¡°Can you find out who bought the trending list and the deal tonight?¡±


    Zhuang Ming shook his head gently. ¡°It¡¯s a little difficult! However, I already have a candidate in mind.¡±


    Zhuang Ming had been on guard against the Ye family, but he didn¡¯t expect Ye Zheng to be so relaxed this time.


    He looked at Lin En and said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not a difficult problem to solve. The only thing we need to do now is not let Xian ¡®er know about this. She might not feel comfortable if she sees it.¡±


    Lin En looked at him gently and kissed him on the cheek. She said slowly, ¡°I think you¡¯re underestimating our daughter. She¡¯s not a delicate flower that can¡¯t resist the wind and snow! Don¡¯t worry about her; I¡¯ll care for everything at home!¡±


    This was one of the reasons why Zhuang Ming had always loved Lin En. She always understood and supported him and loved everyone in the family.


    What Zhuang Ming had to do was actually very simple.


    He just needed to be like the smartest headhunter in the business circle, lying dormant in the tide of crisis and danger, accurately grasping the enemy¡¯s weakness and loopholes, and then dealing a fatal blow.


    No matter what kind of monsters or ghosts they were, they would all be destroyed in this battle!


    Zhuang Ming had such confidence, and so did Zhuang Xian.

 Chapter 55 - Hot Leaderboard

    It was not difficult for Zhuang Xian to control the entire situation. If she wanted to do it, she could do it.


    The Ye family¡¯s company was brightly lit at this moment. In the cubicles, there were many technical staff working overtime. They had lost enough opportunities to the Zhuang family during this period. Tonight was the time for revenge.


    Ye Xin was currently sitting in Ye Zheng¡¯s office, keeping an eye on the public opinion on the trending list. Occasionally, she would see one or two criticized comments well, and she couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Ye Xin closed her computer after she was done admiring the trend.


    She raised her head and looked at Ye Zheng, sitting on the office chair. She restrained her smugness and said respectfully, ¡°The progress on the internet is going very smoothly. Tomorrow, we will see the impact on Ming En¡¯s stock price. We will take advantage of their unstable stock price and give them a hard blow at that time. Will they still be afraid of not losing this time?¡±


    When Ye Zheng heard this, he nodded his head in satisfaction.


    He said in a deep voice, ¡°That¡¯s a good idea. With the development of the Internet, we can kill two birds with one stone and suppress the Zhuang father and daughter! Not only can it help us vent our anger, but it can also control Zhuang Ming¡¯s greedy nature! City H¡¯s business circle is only this big. Why should he take all of it?¡±


    Ye Zheng took a deep breath, and the wrinkles at the corners of his brows smoothed out.


    He laughed sarcastically and said, ¡°I also heard that Zhuang Ming attended the Mo Corporation¡¯s reception today. Hmph! Did he really think he could be on the Mo clan¡¯s thick and strong thigh? In his dreams! I¡¯ve already found someone to secretly sow discord between them. Just wait, it won¡¯t be long before Ming En doesn¡¯t even have the right to carry the shoes of my Ye Group!¡±


    Ye Xin was very pleased with herself after receiving her father¡¯s praise. Ye Zheng didn¡¯t have a son, so everything in Ye Group would be hers in the future. Naturally, she would put in a lot of effort for Ye Group.


    The following day, as usual, Zhuang Xian woke up early for her morning exercise. She did not forget to make breakfast for the family. Knowing that her father and her third brother had drunk a lot of alcohol yesterday, she specially made seafood porridge that nourished the stomach.


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the breakfast on the table. He wiped his drool and walked over.


    Zhuang Huai glanced at Zhuang Xian, who was still busy in the kitchen and smiled at his second brother, who was already seated at the table. ¡°It¡¯s good to have a sister! You can have a breakfast filled with love every day.¡±


    Zhuang Hang didn¡¯t get a good rest last night because of the trending news. He looked at his brother, who had a good sleep, and said, ¡°Have you seen today¡¯s trending news? If our family goes bankrupt, we¡¯ll have to rely on you to work hard in the entertainment industry to support the family!¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Zhuang Huai asked, confused.


    When he finally came to his senses, he took out his phone and opened a web page. After looking at it for a long time, he angrily scolded, ¡°Motherf*cker! Isn¡¯t this a tactic that only the entertainment industry would use? How did the game between the business circles evolve to such an advanced level? Who was the person who bought the advertisement? I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re fools!¡±


    Lin En walked out of the kitchen. After hearing Zhuang Huai¡¯s complaints, she calmly said, ¡°This method isn¡¯t anything special, so how did it become solely your entertainment industry¡¯s? But you¡¯re right. They¡¯re indeed fools to use public opinion to suppress Ming En!¡±


    Lin En put down the plate in her hand and continued, ¡°By the way, that¡¯s not called buying an advertisement, but buying a marketing account with a huge number of fans to expand your influence! Third brother, are you still sleeping?¡±


    Zhuang Huai dared to scold others but didn¡¯t dare to go against his mother. He lowered his head and mumbled, ¡°Of course I know that¡¯s a marketing account ¡­ I know much more than you! Those netizens are really a bunch of idiots. They just listen to what others say and don¡¯t have brains!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s extremely oppressive gaze made Zhuang Huai only dare to mutter and scold those netizens in a low voice.


    After Zhuang Huai took a scoop of porridge, he seemed to have realized something. He stared at his second brother and asked, ¡°So, second brother, you were teasing me, right? What family is bankrupt? I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve never been beaten by Dad before!¡±


    Zhuang Ming gently glared at his two sons, who seemed not to have grown up. He thought to himself, why do they become so childish when they are together?


    ¡°Shut up! Let¡¯s eat!¡± Zhuang Ming said coldly.


    Seeing Zhuang Xian come out of the kitchen, Zhuang Hang carefully sized her up and said gently, ¡°Sister, do you have anything to do today? Big brother can accompany you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at him. After taking a seat, she replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine! Second brother isn¡¯t busy today?¡±


    Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression, Zhuang Hang heaved a sigh of relief.


    He was afraid that Zhuang Xian would be depressed and unhappy after reading the news on the internet.

 Chapter 56 - Full Assistance

    Zhuang Huai carefully observed the expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s pretty little face; indeed, there was no sadness.


    ¡°Don¡¯t read those things on the internet! Don¡¯t mind it; we¡¯re here for everything!¡± Zhuang Huai gave Zhuang Xian a concerned look and consoled her warmly.


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming also stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhuang Xian simultaneously.


    Zhuang Xian could feel the warm care and love from her family. She smiled and joked, ¡°Do I look sad?¡±


    She broke into a bright smile as she spoke and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m not surprised by how people look at me! They can¡¯t affect my mood, so don¡¯t worry.¡± As she spoke, she looked at her family with comforting eyes.


    Lin En pinched her little face and rebuked, ¡°I¡¯m not worried about you, you clever little child! If you had to worry, it should be about those who tried to court their own deaths! I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re not even born to dare to offend someone from the Zhuang family?¡±


    Zhuang Huai laughed and continued Lin En¡¯s words, ¡°Why does this sentence sound so familiar?¡±


    As he said that, he looked at Zhuang Xian and sighed in his heart. His sister and mother were indeed loving mother and daughter! How could they speak in such an implicit manner?


    Mo family.


    Early in the morning, Mo Xi reported all the negative public opinions about Ming En Group¡¯s hot list from last night to Mo Qian.


    They couldn¡¯t turn a blind eye to the Ming En Group¡¯s crisis this time. Firstly, the Mo Corporation and Ming En were still working together. Secondly, Zhuang Ming was still the nominal father of the fourth Miss Zhuang. Based on their young master¡¯s special treatment of Zhuang Xian, no matter how they looked, they could not just let this matter go!


    Moreover, their young master also admired Zhuang Ming.


    Mo Qian quickly flipped through all the information on the tablet. Without looking up, he ordered Mo Xi, ¡°Inform the company¡¯s public relations department to fully assist Ming En Corporation in getting through this crisis.¡±


    Mo Xi was not surprised at his young master¡¯s instructions. He bowed and replied respectfully, ¡°Yes! Young master.¡±


    After a pause, Mo Xi raised his head to look at Mo Qian and asked in a low voice, ¡°What about the negative news targeted at the Zhuang family¡¯s daughter? Are they also to be handed over to the public relations department to handle?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian¡¯s hands stopped moving. He frowned slightly and asked Mo Xi, ¡°What¡¯s with the video of them in the mall? Why are the Ye family members there?¡±


    Mo Xi explained to his young master, ¡°At that time, Miss Zhuang had only been in the Zhuang family for a few days. Mrs. Zhuang took Miss Zhuang to the mall and bumped into the Ye family at a shop. Mrs. Ye¡¯s reputation in the industry has always been bad. Because she wanted to snatch a gown from Mrs. Zhuang, the two of them quarreled!¡±


    Mo Qian looked confused at him, ¡°How do you know so much?¡±


    ¡°At that time, because of the support of Judge, Shen Min lost her face, and the Ye Group lost even more face. Ye Zheng was laughed at by his peers in the industry because of this. I heard it a few times, so I know.¡± Mo Xi explained.


    Mo Qian nodded. After some thought, he felt that this matter was very likely related to the Ye family. Didn¡¯t the Ye family lose to Ming En in a commercial bid some time ago? This was probably an act of long-planned revenge.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid Zhuang Xian and Ming En are both targets of the other party. Tell the public relations department to treat them equally! Also, find out who¡¯s the one behind this.¡± Mo Qian ordered in a deep voice.


    Mo Xi respectfully lowered his head and nodded. He quickly left. Looking at the importance the young master placed on this, this was a high-level emergency public relations matter. He couldn¡¯t be careless.


    Near noon, the Ming En group had a few more economic disputes. The red deficit economic turnover had attracted a lot of attention.


    Zhuang Ming sat in his office with a grave expression. This situation was really intricately linked and gradually planned! The other party had spent a lot of money to mess with them.


    Zhuang Hang was also in the company 24/7 today, waiting for his father¡¯s orders at any time. However, when he saw Zhuang Ming calmly holding two meetings, Zhuang Hang felt that he was overthinking it. Ming En¡¯s foreign affairs and public relations department was also very impressive!


    He was about to discuss the progress of public relations with his father when he was interrupted by the assistant¡¯s knock on the door.


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s assistant knocked on the office door with a computer and excitedly reported to Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang, ¡°Chairman, Manager Zhuang! The Mo Corporation has publicly spoken up for us!¡±


    Zhuang Hang raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, ¡°Who¡¯s speaking up for us?¡±


    1

 Chapter 57 - Xian du Economic Times

    The Secretary quickly explained, ¡°Mo Qian!¡± President Mo¡¯s Group had just released a statement on their company¡¯s diplomatic public relations account, saying they would always support Chairman Zhuang Ming¡¯s Group. They also believed that Ming En was not the kind of evil company that would break the law and let their consumers down! He even said he¡¯s willing to vouch for Ming En group!¡±


    The Secretary was so excited that her face turned red. She understood what kind of declaration this was. This was to put Ming En Group and them on the same boat, to pull Ming En to expand together!


    If it weren¡¯t for Mo Qian¡¯s official seal on the notice, they would have thought someone was pulling a prank!


    However, on second thought, no one in this world would dare to use Mo Qian¡¯s name to play such a prank. So, this could only be true.


    Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Ming were a little stunned, especially Zhuang Ming. He had been in business for decades, and this was the first time he had seen someone who dared to make such a statement! The legal responsibilities and obligations he had to bear behind this were not trifled with.


    What was Mo Qian trying to do? Zhuang Ming had a big question mark on his heart.


    Zhuang Hang was even more puzzled. The Mo family was such a large consortium company. Did they have so much money that they had nowhere to spend it? Could Ming En¡¯s cooperation with them have become so important? That shouldn¡¯t be the case.


    The father and son had different ways of thinking but the same doubts. Mo Qian had gone crazy.


    The Secretary looked at her boss and his son, who were silent. She slowly put away the overjoyed expression on her face and cleared her throat to ask Zhuang Ming, ¡°Chairman! How should we respond to the Mo family?¡±


    Zhuang Ming took a deep breath and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a cry of surprise from outside the door.


    ¡°Chairman! Teacher Yan An, the top critic of Xian du Economic Times, has also started to voice her support for our Ming En! He said that competition in the economic circle is necessary, but it should be benign and reasonable. The people who spread rumors and framed us behind our backs are despicable rats on the street. We should all resist and fight back together!¡±


    Ming En corporation¡¯s public relations department head, minister Cheng was holding his phone. He had already arrived before Zhuang Ming could even call him in.


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s eyes lit up at the mention of the Xian du times. He stood up and walked to Minister Cheng¡¯s side, asking excitedly, ¡°Yan An herself? Hasn¡¯t she appeared for a long time?¡±


    Department head Cheng handed the phone to him and said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s Teacher Yan An herself. Since she published that world-shocking report on the international economy, she hasn¡¯t appeared again! I didn¡¯t expect her to come to City H and speak up for our Ming En! Oh my God! I¡¯m so honored!¡±


    To begin with, this Minister Cheng was Yan An¡¯s loyal fan, and there was nothing more exciting than the person he admired speaking up for him!


    Zhuang Hang read Yan An¡¯s report in detail and almost jumped up in excitement. ¡°Oh my God, Dad! Our Ming En and sister have the help of a benefactor! Are we still afraid of not winning this battle? I think it¡¯s a waste not to use this lineup here.¡±


    As a businessman with a keen sense of smell, Zhuang Ming naturally knew this was the time for a desperate counterattack. He looked at Minister Cheng excitedly and ordered, ¡°Immediately repost the Mo Corporation and Teacher Yan An¡¯s statement and report. It¡¯s time for us to counterattack! Post all the evidence you¡¯ve found about the Ye Group¡¯s false accusations against our Ming En on the internet! I want to make them speechless. I want to kill them with the power of Thunder. Of course, don¡¯t forget to send them our lawyer¡¯s letter!¡±


    Minister Cheng respectfully accepted the order, his face full of fighting spirit and excitement. ¡°Yes, Chairman! I¡¯ll get it done right away. You and manager Zhuang can wait to see the Ye Group panic!¡±


    Ming En¡¯s side was filled with joy and fighting spirit, but the Ye family began to feel a little gloomy.


    ¡°Mo Qian is willing to do this for Zhuang Ming! Why?¡± Ye Zheng looked at the report and asked his think tank in shock, ¡°Does Zhuang Ming have any other cooperation with the Mo Corporation? Why does Mo Qian value him so much?¡±


    The managers of the various departments sitting below Ye Zheng kept their mouths shut. They were all trembling with fear. How could they know something even Ye Zheng, the company¡¯s CEO, didn¡¯t?


    If the Ye Group were defeated by the Ming En group again, it would be too embarrassing. They were not as powerful as the Ye Group, but they would have been caught red-handed.

 Chapter 58 - Golden Pen Head

    The cold air around Ye Zheng¡¯s body was already starting to freeze. At this moment, only Ye Xin, sitting beside him, dared to speak. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious, Dad. This isn¡¯t the time for us to give up! Now, it¡¯s not only the Mo family but also Yan An, the gold medal writer who claims to be in Xian du Economic Times. She¡¯s also involved and is helping Ming En to stand on the stage!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s too influential. We still have to be careful. The Zhuang family must have some sort of connection with her. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to write this article so timely and accurately. It doesn¡¯t seem like she did it on the spur of the moment. We still have to be on guard!¡±


    Ye Xin¡¯s quick-witted and quick reactions were something even Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t fathom.


    Her intuition was very accurate, but she was wrong about one thing. Yan An did come up with the idea to criticize and punish their Ye clan at the last minute.


    After Li Qin helped Zhuang Xian publish the article, he paid attention to the reactions of everyone.


    Seeing the big shots in the industry becoming active and praising Yan An¡¯s article, Li Qin smiled triumphantly.


    His sister Xian hadn¡¯t written for more than half a year, and now that she was writing, she was still as beautiful as ever, and her appeal was terrific!


    Li Qin held his phone and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°I say! Sister Xian, you don¡¯t need to use your identity as Yan An to help the Zhuang family with this small fight! When you give the order, all the good writers in our company will spit at them and drown those people!¡±


    Zhuang Xian could not hear the flattery that Li Qin was imagining. She would definitely pull Li Qin¡¯s ears if she could understand it. After all, Li Qin was a person who had been influenced by a lot of cultures. Why couldn¡¯t he change his habit of using idioms?


    Zhuang Xian was sitting in front of her computer, constantly paying attention to the hot list and public opinion. When she heard Li Qin¡¯s words, she leaned back slightly in her chair and said with a serious face, ¡°The Zhuang family¡¯s matters are no small matter to me.¡±


    When Li Qin heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s announcement, he was shocked. He had never met sister Xian¡¯s foster parents and had no idea what kind of people they were. Still, when he saw how much sister Xian valued the Zhuang family, he understood!


    Zhuang Xian already viewed her and the Zhuang family as one.


    Of course, the Zhuang family that Li Qin was referring to was Zhuang Ming and Lin En¡¯s family. It had nothing to do with the people from the Zhuang family¡¯s old mansion.


    Li Qin took a deep breath and said, ¡°I understand, sister Xian. Now that the situation is good, should we strike while the iron is hot and reveal Ye Xin¡¯s secret?¡±


    The evil and cunning nature of Ye Xin¡¯s past life flashed across Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind. She laughed sarcastically and said, ¡°No rush! Let¡¯s take it slow. First, we¡¯ll post the truth about what happened at Judge¡¯s shop. I want Ye Xin to experience what it feels like to be ridiculed by tens of thousands of people.¡±


    Li Qin agreed very quickly. He had long wanted to retaliate against the other side, but Zhuang Xian had been waiting for an opportunity. She had even personally participated in the battle, which made his heart itch.


    This was great. He would show sister Xian his true strength! He was the world-class hacker prince, Chi Chi Hu!


    Lin En saw that Zhuang Xian had been bored at home the whole day. Today¡¯s situation was unique, so she was worried that Zhuang Xian would be bored to death. So, she brought some snacks for Zhuang Xian and knocked on her door.


    Zhuang Xian quickly closed the Yan An forum page and called for her to come in.


    This was also one of the reasons why she didn¡¯t personally post Yan An¡¯s article. It was hard for her to guard against her family, so to avoid exposing her identity so quickly, she had Li Qin log in to her account to post!


    Secondly, it was also to ensure her safety and that of the Zhuang family. Yan An¡¯s identity as a critic had offended many business tycoons. She could only do this to prevent people from finding people to track down the specific post location of her ID.


    Caution was the key to success. The words of the old ancestor were very reasonable.


    Lin En pushed the door open and smiled at Zhuang Xian, standing on the balcony. ¡°It¡¯s so early in the morning. Why did you lock yourself up in your room? Let¡¯s go shopping after we¡¯re done.¡±


    Zhuang Xian quickly stood up and took the things from Lin En¡¯s hands. ¡°Sure, Mom.¡±


    How could she not understand that her mother was still worried about her and wanted to take her for a walk?


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En¡¯s gentle expression and felt helpless. Since her mother wanted to go out, then she would go out. Anyway, Li Qin and Xian du were there to care for the matters at hand, so she did not have to worry too much.

 Chapter 59 - Be a Silly Boy

    When Lin En brought Zhuang Xian out of the house, they were coincidentally spotted by Zhuang Huai, who was coming out of the kitchen. He sized up his beautiful mother and sister and asked in confusion, ¡°Are you going out? Where are you going?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him with a smile and did not say anything. On the other hand, Lin En looked at her younger son carefully and suddenly suggested, ¡°If you wear a mask, you can still follow us out.¡±


    An hour later, at City H¡¯s International Mall.


    Zhuang Huai, who was clueless about what was happening, followed behind his mother and sister. He had a helpless expression on his face.


    He knew that nothing good would come out of following her. Wasn¡¯t he just dragged here by his mother to be a strong man?


    ¡°Mother! Wait a moment.¡± Zhuang Huai was wearing a mask, so his voice was a little muffled when he called out to Lin En.


    Lin En stopped in her tracks and held onto Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand as she turned around to look at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhuang Huai picked up the various bags in her hands and gestured for her to look over. He didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, ¡°Can¡¯t we ask the driver to take these things down and put them in the car first? Do I have to carry it like this? It¡¯s cumbersome!¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Huai as if he was looking at an idiot. She asked, ¡°Who said no? You¡¯re the stupid one and didn¡¯t tell the driver. I thought you were going to exercise with it!¡±


    Zhuang Huai could see the smile in Lin En¡¯s eyes. Coupled with the uncontrollable curve of her lips, he instantly understood that her mother was deliberately teasing him!


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s eyes widened slightly as he protested softly, ¡°Mom, are you kidding me? I worked hard to help you carry your things; this is how you treat me! Am I not your most beloved baby? You have the heart to tease me like this!¡±


    Perhaps it was because Zhuang Huai¡¯s tone of protest was too pitiful and funny. Still, Lin En and Zhuang Xian both broke into smiles simultaneously!


    Lin En patted Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and smiled. ¡°Aiyo! I¡¯m so happy! Your third brother is so charming. Why hasn¡¯t he realized after so long that he¡¯s no longer my most beloved baby!¡±


    As Lin En spoke, she deliberately smiled and glanced at Zhuang Huai. When he retracted her gaze, she pinched Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face. She said, ¡°Mommy¡¯s Baby is the little angel, Xian ¡®er!¡±


    Zhuang Xian allowed Lin En to pinch her face as she pleased. Her face was full of smiles, and she was very receptive. Her beautiful eyes were filled with love for her mother!


    Lin En loved her and doted on her, and she loved her back.


    The mother and daughter had a two-way love, but Zhuang Huai, standing at the side, was the only one hurt. It was as if he was the only one in the world who was hurt!


    However, as Zhuang Huai looked at Lin En and Zhuang Xian, who were laughing together, the slight imbalance in his heart disappeared, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart.


    Alright! If the two princesses at home were happy, he could be a silly boy for once. There was nothing wrong with that. Zhuang Huai helplessly thought to himself.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Zhuang Huai, but she still considered his hard work and suggested to Lin En, ¡°Mom, we¡¯ve been shopping for so long. Why don¡¯t we find a place to eat and rest?¡±


    How could Lin En not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s attentiveness? She looked at Zhuang Xian reproachfully. She muttered, ¡°Every day, you¡¯ll blindly feel bad for your brothers! Look at how delicate they are. They¡¯re far worse than your father.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes! We brothers are all delicate. We can¡¯t compare to Dad, who can escort you for an entire day! Mother, can we find a place to rest?¡± In a desperate voice, Zhuang Huai looked at Zhuang Xian gratefully and walked in front with the bags in his hands.


    Lin En laughed as she watched her younger son run away. She shook her head and pulled Zhuang Xian behind her. While she was still complaining about Zhuang Huai, a slightly mean voice suddenly came from behind.


    ¡°Yo! Aren¡¯t they Aunt and sister? These few days, little sister has become ¡®famous¡¯, making us so envious! Isn¡¯t that right, An Ye!¡±


    Zhuang Jie was a few steps away from them. She stood at the elevator¡¯s handrail as if she had just come up. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and arrogantly turned her head to speak to An Ye. Her voice was booming, so everyone in the corridor heard her words.


    1


    An Ye stood next to Zhuang Jie. She first smiled at Lin En, who had turned around, before replying to Zhuang Jie in a low voice, ¡°Zhuang Jie, don¡¯t say that. Aunt Zhuang is going to be angry.¡±


    When Zhuang Jie heard this, she looked at Lin En. She could naturally feel Lin en¡¯s displeasure.

 Chapter 60 - . The Attack

    Thinking of how Lin En had protected Zhuang Xian that day, Zhuang Jie was even more unhappy. She continued to say, ¡°So what? Zhuang Xian dared to do it, but she didn¡¯t dare to admit it. She did something that shamed our old Zhuang family, so what¡¯s wrong with me saying a few words? Even Aunt can¡¯t blame me!¡±


    ¡°Zhuang Xian is a jinx! Since she came to our Zhuang family, all kinds of problems have happened to us! We¡¯re even involved in such a huge public scandal this time, all because of her!¡± As Zhuang Jie spoke, she took a few steps toward Lin En and Zhuang Xian.


    Looking at Zhuang Jie, who was walking towards her, Zhuang Xian frowned in disgust. Why did this arrogant and condescending woman always like to approach her? Had she not learned her lesson from the last time?


    Zhuang Xian underestimated the shamelessness of people like Zhuang Jie. They were too stupid and did not know they were trying to get back at Zhuang Xian for what they had lost!


    ¡°You¡¯re out of confinement?¡± Zhuang Xian asked coldly.


    Zhuang Xian laughed mockingly when she saw Zhuang Jie¡¯s expression. ¡°Do you have enough pocket money? You can even go out shopping. Did you borrow it from this wealthy friend of yours?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s plain sarcasm made Zhuang Jie¡¯s heartache. She hated Zhuang Xian to death.


    Zhuang Xian had mentioned that the old Madam had punished her in front of many outsiders and An Ye. She had lost all her face!


    Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t tell An Ye in detail what had happened that day. Although she treated An Ye as her best friend, there were some embarrassing things that she still wanted to keep from her friend.


    This was the first time she went shopping since the old Madam punished Zhuang Jie by grounding her for half a month and denying her three months of pocket money.


    Although Zhuang Jing doted on her, she still had to give some face to the old lady, so she didn¡¯t dare to let Zhuang Jie be too presumptuous!


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, you ¡­¡± Zhuang Jie was so angry that she wanted to scold Zhuang Xian, but An Ye grabbed her arm.


    An Ye shook her head at her, silently consoling her. If she were to argue with Lin Rn and Zhuang Xian in public, how could she use Zhuang Jie to get close to the Zhuang brothers in the future? The gains outweigh the losses!


    An Ye turned to look at Lin En and smiled gently. ¡°Aunt Zhuang, Wanwan is just being frank. She¡¯s also worried about the Zhuang family¡¯s safety! Please don¡¯t be angry with her. I know a good afternoon tea restaurant in front. Let¡¯s go there and have a seat!¡±


    Lin En glanced at An Ye indifferently, and the expression in her eyes softened a little. This An Ye was much more generous than Zhuang Jie.


    But Lin En was annoyed just by looking at Zhuang Jie, so she didn¡¯t want to ruin her good mood today. She refused, ¡°No need, you guys go ahead and play! I still have other things to do.¡±


    Lin En was about to pull Zhuang Xian away after saying that, completely ignoring the sneaky Man in Black with a black mask on her left.


    Zhuang Xian had already noticed him when he was slowly approaching them. Zhuang Xian was on her guard. Her years of experience and intuition told her that this person did not come with good intentions.


    As expected! When Lin En turned to him the next second, he pulled out a short dagger from his pocket. He looked at Lin En with a fierce gaze and shouted, ¡°Lin En! Use your life to pay for the debt Ming En owes me!¡±


    How could Zhuang Xian possibly let him get close to Lin En?


    She promptly pulled Lin En back with her left hand, and her right leg was energized. She lifted it high and kicked, drawing an exaggerated and perfect arc in the air.


    Before the man with the dagger could even touch Lin En¡¯s hair, he was sent flying 7 to 8 meters away by Zhuang Xian¡¯s kick!


    When he landed on the ground in the distance, his body made a heavy muffled sound as it hit the floor tiles. He could feel the strength of Zhuang Xian¡¯s feet.


    The people around Zhuang Xian screamed in shock and returned a few meters!


    Standing in the distance, Lin En and Zhuang Huai saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful and powerful kick!


    After a moment of shock, Zhuang Huai couldn¡¯t help but admire her beauty. His eyes shone as he looked at Zhuang Xian, but he quickly called for the mall¡¯s security guards.


    Looking at the security guards swarming over, Zhuang Huai pointed at the man on the ground who had not recovered from the intense pain and shouted angrily, ¡°Quickly hold this person down! What¡¯s with your mall? Can a dangerous person with a knife in his pocket enter your door? What are you guys doing?¡±

 Chapter 61 - Beautiful Skills

    Lin En was shocked by the man¡¯s sudden attack. Her eyes widened as she looked at Zhuang Xian, who was blocking her way, and she did not return to her senses for a long time.


    After hearing Zhuang Huai¡¯s angry shouts, Lin En regained her senses. She held Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and quickly turned her body around. She looked her up and down carefully and asked anxiously, ¡°Baby, are you okay? Did he hurt you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En, shook her head, and consoled her with a warm voice, ¡°Don¡¯t I have a mother? He didn¡¯t hurt me, don¡¯t be afraid!¡±


    Lin En did not find any injuries on Zhuang Xian¡¯s body. She heaved a deep sigh of relief, and her heart, which had almost jumped out of her chest, finally settled down.


    Lin En¡¯s gaze fell on the man the security guards were holding down. Her eyes turned cold, and she walked toward him. Zhuang Xian immediately pulled her back. ¡°Mother, don¡¯t go over yet. Let¡¯s wait for the police to come.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes scanned the crowd vigilantly. When she did not find any suspicious people, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    She wasn¡¯t afraid of a sudden attack, but she was worried that she wouldn¡¯t be able to protect them if too many of them were around.


    Lin En quickly regained her composure and patted Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. ¡°It¡¯s fine now. I¡¯ll go check on him.¡±


    When she and Zhuang Ming built the Ming En group together, she stopped being a pampered lady who couldn¡¯t handle any trouble. Her courage and boldness might even be far beyond some men.


    She was caught off guard just now, and the people around her were her loved ones, so she was confused.


    After Zhuang Huai angrily rebuked the head of security of the shopping mall, he quickly followed Lin En. Fortunately, his mother and sister were fine. If something had happened to them, Zhuang Huai would not have forgiven himself.


    Lin En walked over and looked down at the attacker. He said to the security guard, ¡°Please take off his mask and let me see.¡±


    The security guard reached out and pulled off the attacker¡¯s mask. Lin En narrowed her eyes and realized she did not know this person. She frowned and asked coldly, ¡°You know me? Why did you attack us? Or rather, who sent you here?¡±


    The attacker was hit by Zhuang Xian¡¯s leg and almost died on the spot. He heard Lin En¡¯s question and looked at her weakly, his eyes full of malice.


    He said coldly, ¡°You and Zhuang Ming are a pair of heartless and unscrupulous merchants. Do you know how much money Ming En has scammed from me? I¡¯m going to kill you today and use your life to compensate myself!¡±


    ¡°Ming En group will not owe any customer!¡± Lin En was not afraid of the killing intent in his eyes. The coldness in her eyes intensified when she heard him slandering Ming En.


    Lin En looked at the man¡¯s stubborn and hateful eyes and guessed, ¡°Did you come up with this bad idea after seeing the news trending on Ming En these two days? Or perhaps, you¡¯ve been bewitched by someone to think of attacking me!¡±


    ¡°No! It was nothing! I want you to die! I hate you, and Zhuang Ming, you can go to hell!¡± The attacker looked at the police behind Lin En and roared in anger.


    The dagger in his hand was so close to Lin En¡¯s neck. Just a little more, and he would have achieved his goal!


    He turned to look at Zhuang Xian, his eyes burning with anger.


    Because of this little B*tch, he had failed at the last step!


    ¡°Bitch! You¡¯re helping the evildoer so you won¡¯t die a good death! Your Zhuang family is just a bunch of vampires who drink the blood of ordinary people! I curse you all!¡±


    When the police arrived at the scene and saw the situation, they immediately dispersed the crowd. However, there were still many people who recorded the scene and left.


    Lin En and Zhuang Xian looked at the attacker coldly. The words of the loser did not anger them. They looked at each other and saw a trace of seriousness in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Zhuang Huai took the initiative to explain what had happened to the police. The police also questioned the other staff members at the scene. After understanding the situation, they defined Zhuang Xian¡¯s counterattack as self-defense. However, for the sake of routine, they still cautiously invited Zhuang Xian and Lin En back to the police station to record their statements.


    Zhuang Jie and An Ye hid in the crowd and watched the show coldly. When Zhuang Xian was also taken away by the police, Zhuang Jie even laughed happily.

 Chapter 62 - Counterattack

    An Ye frowned slightly at Zhuang Jie but did not say anything. From the situation just now, Zhuang Xian was only taken to the police station to record her statement. The police would not do anything to her.


    The incident just now didn¡¯t look simple. An Ye thought about the terrible situation the Zhuang family¡¯s company had been in for the past two days and felt the water was deep.


    However, even under such circumstances, Lin En was still in the mood to bring Zhuang Xian for a walk. Did that mean that the Zhuang family was very confident about this crisis?


    An Ye was still thinking about this problem when Zhuang Jie had already reported the situation to her mother.


    Zhuang Jie thought that if she could report this matter to the old Madam and her mother, with the old Madam¡¯s proud personality, she would like to see how Zhuang Xian, who was like a source of trouble, would continue being the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family!


    While they were shopping, the public relations department of Ming En group and the public relations department of Mo Corporation joined hands to launch a beautiful public opinion counterattack!


    Ming En had successfully retaliated against the malicious marketing reports on the hot list. They had clarified all the bad news and announced all kinds of favorable evidence in an orderly and transparent way to the public!


    [City Express: according to our reporter¡¯s investigation, the news of the Zhuang family¡¯s woman bullying tourists, which has been on the hot list since yesterday, has been confirmed as a rumor!] Come and watch the official response of the famous fashion studio, Judge, and the truth video!¡±


    ¡°Yesterday, our city¡¯s cyber police detected a group of unusual news breaking out. It is suspected that an economic company is maliciously spreading rumors to attack its peers! Let¡¯s see the details!¡±


    ¡°Afternoon news: Ye corporation¡¯s stock price suddenly fell at 14 O¡¯clock this afternoon. The company¡¯s intranet was suspected of having been maliciously attacked by unknown hackers! The losses can¡¯t be estimated for the time being!¡±


    Silk economy newspaper office (City H branch): ¡°Only an orderly economic market is the cradle for people to make legal profits. Anyone who tries to disrupt the market and fish in troubled waters will only become the enemy of everyone!¡±


    The scales of public opinion seemed to have been lubricated, and they had already naturally leaned towards Ming En and the Mo Corporation.


    After watching excellent entertainment and economic news for the past two days, the people finally felt a little better!


    After Zhuang Xian and Lin En were done with their statements at the police station, they returned to their car.


    The police had already seen the video in the mall. Zhuang Xian¡¯s counterattack was legitimate self-defense. The attacker had been detained for further investigation because of his bad attitude and refusal to cooperate with the police.


    When the Deputy chief of the police station sent them out, he said he would follow up on the attack case.


    Lin En was also very concerned and hoped the police would investigate this thoroughly.


    It was a good thing that Zhuang Xian was there today. She was just a little shocked. She couldn¡¯t imagine how things would have turned out if Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t there. She didn¡¯t dare think this would have happened to anyone else in the family!


    Therefore, for her family¡¯s safety in the future, this matter must be investigated clearly!


    Lin En sat on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left with a heavy heart, her expression still serious.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her worriedly and asked, ¡°Mom, are you still thinking about the person who attacked us?¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian and let out a long sigh of relief before she replied, ¡°Yup! I¡¯m feeling uneasy.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, mom. You¡¯re just frightened.¡± Zhuang Xian consoled her warmly.


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she took out her phone and looked at the time. ¡°It¡¯s only Five o¡¯clock. An hour should be enough. I¡¯ll make you a pot of calming soup when we get home. It¡¯ll be ready for dinner. I promise you¡¯ll have a good sleep after drinking it.¡±


    Lin En¡¯s heart almost melted as she looked at Zhuang Xian, this considerate and stomach-warming little angel. How could her precious daughter be so good?


    Zhuang Huai was sitting in the front passenger seat. When he heard that his sister would make soup tonight, he turned around and said in a good mood, ¡°Then can I order? I want to eat sister¡¯s braised pork shoulder.¡±


    Lin En tilted his head and glared at Zhuang Huai. She felt that her youngest son only knew how to eat, and his words had disrupted the warm atmosphere between her and her precious daughter.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her third brother in amusement and said helplessly, ¡°It¡¯s too late today. You won¡¯t be able to eat it even if I make it. Let¡¯s do it tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Okay! As long as there¡¯s food, it¡¯s fine. A good meal isn¡¯t afraid of being late!¡± Zhuang Huai was satisfied with Zhuang Xian¡¯s promise, so his tone was slightly higher.

 Chapter 63 - The Conflict of Public Opinion

    Lin En looked at her children with a smile. When she took out her phone from her bag, she found missed calls from both Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang, so she quickly returned their calls.


    Zhuang Xian also took out her phone. Besides her father and second brother¡¯s calls, Li Qin had also called her many times and sent her many messages.


    When she opened the message box, it was filled with Li Qin¡¯s report on the changes in public opinion on the internet in the past few hours. When Zhuang Xian saw the news Li Qin sent her, she discovered that the Mo Corporation was also involved in this battle of public opinion!


    Zhuang Xian was even more confused when she saw the statement released by the Mo Corporation in the morning.


    What was Mo Qian trying to do? Zhuang Xian thought about it for a while and realized that she couldn¡¯t quite understand it, so she gave up.


    No matter what, it was fine as long as a result was good. Didn¡¯t Mo Qian still owe her three wishes?


    Zhuang Xian gathered her thoughts and opened the hot list to read the comments below.


    The hot list entries were still the same as before. Among them, the highest and most popular one was the comment published by silk economics:


    Silk economy newspaper office (City H branch): ¡°Only an orderly economic market is the cradle for people to make legal profits. Anyone who tries to disrupt the market and fish in troubled waters will only become the enemy of everyone!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right! Xian du had always been sharp and rational. Nowadays, no one would dare to claim a first place among the news agencies that dared to speak the truth and were not afraid of offending people! No one has any objections to me saying this, right?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s there to object to? I think you¡¯re still too humble.¡±


    ¡°By the way, isn¡¯t something wrong with the wind these past two days? Why did it change from time to time? Is this Ming En Corporation¡¯s clarification reliable?¡±


    ¡°This netizen up there is not smart enough. Let¡¯s not watch the economic news! If the entertainment news next door didn¡¯t waste your brain, it might be more suitable for you!¡±


    ¡°The Ye family has been suppressed by Ming En this time! Ming En had already dug out their rotten past and made it public! Ming En¡¯s boldness is even greater, and he¡¯s ruthless enough!¡±


    ¡°City H¡¯s gossip and jokes for the year¡¯s second half are back! Let¡¯s thank the Ye family for their selfless contribution!¡±


    ¡°Upstairs, your mouth is so poisonous! But I like it.¡±


    ¡°+1!¡±


    ¡°However, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange that the Mo clan and Ming En suddenly joined forces this time? Could it be that the Mo clan wants to merge with Ming En? Oh my God! Don¡¯t tell me I¡¯ve seen through this big news!¡±


    ¡°Although what you said seems to make sense! However, that is impossible! Zhuang Ming is a very courageous and insightful businessman. He might not even accept Mo Qian¡¯s offer of support!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the netizens¡¯ comments that were gradually deviating from the main topic and directly turned off her phone screen.


    The public opinion on the internet was excellent. Ming En had already won this contest between Ming En and Ye Corporation!


    Initially, Zhuang Xian wanted to lure Ye Zheng and Ye Xin into making more moves so that she could gradually compete with the Ye group. However, with Mo Qian¡¯s interference, the outcome of this battle of public opinion was immediately apparent. It was a notable victory crushing the Ye group!


    It was also the first time since Zhuang Xian¡¯s rebirth that she had genuinely fought against the Ye family. It ended with a crushing victory.


    Perhaps it was because of Mo Qian¡¯s interference that Zhuang Xian was unsatisfied. What she wanted was for her to bury the disgusting scumbags of the Ye family personally.


    However, now that the victory was set in stone, Zhuang Xian had no choice but to accept Mo Qian¡¯s good intentions!


    The Ye corporation¡¯s hundred-year-old Foundation was not something that could be brought down so quickly. There was still a long way to go, and Zhuang Xian was no longer in a hurry to take revenge. She was thinking about slowly torturing the Ye family and letting them experience the fear and helplessness of the Zhuang family being hollowed out in her previous life.


    Lin En ended the call and mumbled to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Your father is naggy. I already said I was fine, and I¡¯ll be home soon, but he¡¯s still nagging me non-stop. How annoying!¡±


    Although Mrs. Zhuang said Mr. Zhuang was annoying, she felt terrific inside. Zhuang Ming¡¯s constant care and love for the past ten years had made Lin En feel glad.


    Lin En had finished ridiculing Zhuang Ming, but Zhuang Xian had not turned her head around. Only then did she realize that something was wrong with Zhuang Xian. She leaned over and called out softly, ¡°Xian ¡®er?¡±


    Zhuang Xian quickly regained her senses and turned to look at Lin En. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, mother?¡±


    Lin En frowned slightly and felt that Zhuang Xian was acting a little strange. She asked gently, ¡°What happened to you just now? What are you thinking about? You didn¡¯t even hear me talking to you.¡±

 Chapter 64 - Hot Soup

    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian smiled and quickly hid the gloominess and hatred in her eyes. She replied obediently, ¡°I¡¯m not thinking of anything! I¡¯m just tired and a little distracted!¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression and did not find anything, so she had no choice but to believe her.


    She nodded and consoled her softly, ¡°We¡¯ll be home soon. You should go upstairs and have a good sleep! It¡¯s been quite a tiring day.¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and nodded silently.


    Zhuang family, 8 pm.


    The food on the table had already turned cold, but Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang were still working overtime at the company.


    Although they had won this war without smoke and fire, they didn¡¯t get carried away. It would take some time to deal with the aftermath of these things.


    Zhuang Huai sat in front of the TV in the living room, his eyes occasionally glancing at the delicious food on the dining table.


    He touched his empty stomach and gulped. He turned to look at Lin En and said sadly, ¡°Mother! If you don¡¯t serve the meal soon, your handsome precious son will starve to death! Where are the daddies?¡±


    1


    Lin En held her phone in her hand and looked at Zhuang Huai. She comforted him, ¡°When I called just now, they said they¡¯ll be here soon. Let¡¯s wait a little longer. Driving at night is unsafe, so let¡¯s not rush them.¡±


    Zhuang Huai pursed his lips pitifully and lay back on the sofa helplessly. He reached out and pinched the pillow beside him.


    ¡°Madam, Master, and second Young Master are back!¡± Uncle Chang walked into the living room and shouted to Lin En.


    Lin En stood up instantly, and Zhuang Huai immediately jumped up from the sofa like a bullet.


    He walked in front of Lin En and looked at his father and second brother at the door. He quickly said, ¡°What is wrong? Why did you work so late?¡±


    Although Zhuang Huai was a cheeky person, he was just as concerned about his family as Lin En was.


    Zhuang Hang glanced at him and patted his shoulder with a smile. ¡°What do you mean what¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s just an overtime shift. Why are you so excited?¡±


    ¡°Second, brother!¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Huai¡¯s eyes widen unhappily, Zhuang Hang smiled in surrender and explained, ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. It¡¯s fine now! Is there still food? I¡¯m so hungry!¡±


    Lin En glared at Zhuang Hang and accused, ¡°You child, why are you so flippant when you see your third brother? The soup in your sister¡¯s pot has been boiling for a few hours. If you and your father had returned later, the soup would be dry!¡±


    As she spoke, she turned back to look at Zhuang Ming and reached out to take his coat. She said gently, ¡°You should also quickly wash your hands.¡±


    Zhuang Huai was finally able to drink his sister¡¯s signature soup. After sighing in satisfaction, he looked at Zhuang Xian with shining eyes. He said, ¡°Little sister, your cooking skills are too good! I think I can open a restaurant. It¡¯s so good!¡±


    Zhuang Ming finished half the bowl in one go. He raised his head and looked at Zhuang Xian with eyes full of admiration. ¡°It¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s delicious.¡±


    Zhuang Hang didn¡¯t say anything and gave Zhuang Xian a thumbs up.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad you like it. I¡¯ll make it for you to drink a few more times in the future.¡± Zhuang Xian smiled gently, her pretty and delicate face looking even more radiant.


    With the hot soup in his stomach, he felt much more at ease, and his tone of voice became warmer. Zhuang Ming smiled at Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°I heard from your mother that you were the first to discover the attacker today?¡±


    Zhuang Xian obediently nodded her head. Just as she was about to answer Zhuang Ming¡¯s question, she was interrupted by an agitated Zhuang Huai.


    ¡°Let me speak, let me speak! Dad, listen to me.¡± Zhuang Huai quickly put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Zhuang Ming excitedly. ¡°You guys didn¡¯t see it, but my sister¡¯s side kick was so cool, it was so cool! I don¡¯t even dare to perform such an action in a movie. My sister is so amazing! At that time ¡­¡±


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s following words could be summarized: His sister was so cool! That kick was too powerful! The attacker was too weak and inadequate to deal with it!


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    Even Lin En joined in the conversation. She also felt her baby daughter¡¯s reaction was too quick and graceful!


    Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang listened attentively but didn¡¯t stop eating.


    In any case, the atmosphere at the dinner was extremely wonderful. Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart warmed as she looked at her family members, who were in high spirits when they talked about her skills.


    Every time this happened, Zhuang Xian would thank God again for giving her a chance to start over.

 Chapter 65 - Review

    In contrast to the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere of the Zhuang family, the Ye family was gloomy and even full of havoc.


    In the Ye family¡¯s study.


    Shen Min stood behind Ye Xin and sensed the tense atmosphere between Ye Xin and Ye Zheng. She was so scared that she didn¡¯t even dare to breathe.


    The Ye family had suffered heavy losses this time, and even Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t help but feel his heartache.


    This was no longer just a matter of money. More seriously, the Ye Corporation¡¯s reputation and brand image were affected!


    By evening, the Ye family¡¯s stock price had fallen to its lowest point in many years. The shareholders in the company almost ate Ye Zheng alive.


    Ye Zheng¡¯s wrong decision led to the failure of this matter. Of course, the shareholders would not let him off!


    Ye Zheng had no way to vent his anger on the shareholders. Only then did he remember his obedient daughter, Ye Xin, who had provided this stupid idea.


    When he thought about Zhuang Ming¡¯s smug expression, Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t help but get angry. He casually picked up a folder from the desk and threw it at Ye Xin.


    ¡°Look at what kind of terrible idea you¡¯ve come up with! Didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯s foolproof? Didn¡¯t you tell me to wait and see Ming En fall? But now, what is going on? Before you came up with a plan, did you devise a plan to solve these emergencies?¡±


    The file cutting through the air rang in Ye Xin¡¯s ears. If Ye Zheng¡¯s hand had tilted, even more, the file would¡¯ve landed on Ye Xin¡¯s face.


    Shen Min was so frightened by Ye Zheng¡¯s angry roar that her body trembled. She looked at her motionless daughter and said to Ye Zheng, ¡°What¡¯s the use of being so fierce to Xin ¡®er now? The shareholders have bullied you, so you¡¯re taking it out on Xin ¡®er? You¡¯re her father! What do you want her to do now? Go to hell?¡±


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t even raise her head as she said to Shen Min, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about this! It was indeed me who came up with the plan for Dad. I also didn¡¯t consider Mo corporation¡¯s behavior towards Ming En. I didn¡¯t expect the meticulous Yan An to speak up for Ming En suddenly! It was indeed my mistake.¡±


    Shen Min was stunned. After a few seconds, she found her voice and said, ¡°Who could have predicted this?¡± You¡¯re not God who can predict the future!¡±


    Although Shen Min was not an intelligent woman, there was nothing wrong with what she said.


    If Ye Xin had known about the Mo Corporation¡¯s attitude, she wouldn¡¯t have made a move so quickly. With Ye Xin¡¯s intelligence, she wouldn¡¯t do something she wasn¡¯t confident in.


    Ye Zheng¡¯s eyes were fixed on Ye Xin, who had her head lowered. She was his only daughter, after all. How could his heart not ache for her?


    After his anger dissipated and he cursed, Ye Zheng sighed and said in a deep voice, ¡°Forget it! Now that things have come to this let¡¯s consider Zhuang Ming¡¯s luck good this time. There are so many external forces willing to help him!¡±


    ¡°The only thing to be glad about is that those marketing accounts didn¡¯t sell us directly to Zhuang Ming! Although Zhuang Ming can guess that we¡¯re the ones who started this storm, he can¡¯t testify against us without evidence! This can be considered a blessing in a misfortune.¡± Ye Zheng thought about the secretary¡¯s report and said as if he had just survived a disaster.


    Ye Xin slowly lifted her head and replied, ¡°This group of people still have some professional ethics. Since they¡¯ve taken our money, they would do what we ordered them to do! If things didn¡¯t go well, they still had to abide by the additional contents of the contract! Otherwise, they¡¯ll feel guilty when they go to bed at night after taking twice the amount from us, right?¡±


    Ye Zheng glanced at Ye Xin and asked in a troubled manner, ¡°Then tell me, what should we do next?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just like what you said, Dad. Zhuang Ming has no evidence, so he can¡¯t do anything to us! The crime of spreading rumors can be big or small. We can deny it directly! Of course, let¡¯s not confront them head-on for now. We should deal with the following matters first and minimize all the losses.¡± Ye Xin said slowly with a frown after some thought.


    Of course, Ye Zheng understood what Ye Xin was saying. He wanted to hear if Ye Xin had any other thoughts.


    Ye Xin seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She lifted her head and looked at Ye Zheng, her eyes glowing.¡±Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯ve planted a person between Ming En and the Mo Corporation to sow discord? Maybe this person is our chance?¡±

 Chapter 66 - Chess Piece

    ¡°We can use this chess piece to drive a wedge between Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming. Wouldn¡¯t it be better if they turned against each other?¡± Ye Xin¡¯s tone gradually became more excited as she spoke. She felt that this matter was very promising.


    When Ye Zheng heard this, he thought about it carefully and felt that Ye Xin¡¯s words made sense.


    If water can carry a boat, it can also capsize a boat. Did Zhuang Ming think he would be free of worries just because he had climbed onto the big boat of the Mo family? Wasn¡¯t that wishful thinking?


    Since ancient times, accompanying a King was like accompanying a Tiger. Since Zhuang Ming had enjoyed the protection of the Mo family, he had to be mentally prepared to walk on thin ice in front of the Mo family.


    If they could use this chess piece to make Zhuang Ming take a wrong step in front of Mo Qian, they would have quickly achieved their goal.


    An idea slowly came to Ye Zheng¡¯s mind. He smiled at Ye Xin and said, ¡°Xin ¡®er, your idea is good. I think it¡¯s feasible, but we must consider it this time.¡±


    The look in Ye Zheng¡¯s eyes changed as he spoke. He looked at Ye Xin with a puzzled expression. He asked, ¡°Eh, Xin ¡®er, didn¡¯t you already meet the Zhuang family¡¯s new adopted daughter? What kind of person do you think she is?¡±


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t overthink the strange look in her father¡¯s eyes. She didn¡¯t understand why Ye Zheng would suddenly ask about Zhuang Xian. ¡°Dad, why are you asking this? Is there anything wrong with Zhuang Xian?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve received reliable news that Mo Qian seems to treat Zhuang Xian especially.¡± Ye Zheng said as he thought about the news he had received from the spy he had placed in the Mo clan.


    Shen Min had stood behind the father and daughter the whole time, listening to their discussion.


    She couldn¡¯t get involved in business matters. Still, when she heard Ye Zheng mention Lin En¡¯s adopted daughter, she seemed to have suddenly become active. Without waiting for Ye Xin to reply to Ye Zheng, she continued, ¡°Zhuang Xian, the little B*tch, is so pretty! She doesn¡¯t look like she¡¯s from a small place. That day, her aura and intelligence were similar to Xin ¡®er¡¯s!¡±


    Shen Min said as she looked at Ye Xin.


    When Ye Xin heard this, she looked at Shen Min strangely. She said unhappily, ¡°Mom, where did you see I look like her? Don¡¯t joke around, okay?¡±


    She didn¡¯t want to be like Zhuang Xian, that lowly and despicable person. It was very unlucky.


    Seeing Ye Xin¡¯s expression, Shen Min quickly coaxed her, ¡°Good, good, good, it doesn¡¯t look like it! I just have this feeling.¡±


    Ye Zheng glanced at the two of them. His eyes, red from staying up late, had a dark glint. He said coldly, ¡°Are we trying to use this adopted daughter of the Zhuang family to get close to Mo Qian?¡±


    Ye Zheng had this question in his heart. He felt that it was necessary to find someone to investigate the background of the adopted daughter and send someone to keep an eye on her interactions with Mo Qian.


    Zhuang Xian did not know that her ¡®biological father¡¯, Ye Zheng, had already given her a few mysterious identities even before he met her. Zhuang Ming¡¯s hidden card, Mo Qian¡¯s chess piece, etc.


    If Zhuang Xian knew what the Ye family was thinking, she would only laugh in disdain. Some people¡¯s cruelty and viciousness would not change no matter how many lives they had gone through.


    After dinner, Zhuang Xian returned to her room and turned on her computer to deal with some work matters that she had to go through.


    Looking at the work email from Wang Yang, Zhuang Xian frowned slightly. It had been long since the last race, and this Wang Yang still bothered her about the mad racer.


    Wang Yang¡¯s position as the team manager was a headache and a difficult one. Recently, there was a new international race, and they had to arrange for people to compete. Madman was naturally an indispensable leading member of their supercar Alliance.


    Zhuang Xian had already ordered for madman to be punished because of his previous violation of the rules before the competition. He could not participate in the competition this time. Madman was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Xian¡¯s decision. Still, he had no way of knowing Zhuang Xian¡¯s identity and residence, so he could only pester Wang Yang.


    Wang Yang was annoyed by him, so he sent this email to Zhuang Xian. He wanted to plead on behalf of the mad scientist to ask Zhuang Xian to let him participate in the competition and then return to receive punishment after the competition.


    Zhuang Xian had not been to the Alliance for a long time. She thought that she could take the time to go over tomorrow and settle Wang Yang¡¯s request on the way.

 Chapter 67 - Lan Ling

    The night wind at midnight was freezing. When it blew through the long and empty corridor, there was even a Wuwu echo, like the sorrowful cries of the resentful female ghosts in horror movies.


    The bodyguard leading the way in front of Mo Xi felt his heart numb. As he walked, he turned back to look at Mo Xi, who was as cold and expressionless as usual. He swallowed his saliva to hide his nervousness and fear.


    He raised his hand to open the door of the underground warehouse for Mo Xi. He said respectfully, ¡°Special Assistant Mo, this way, please. The woman is locked up in the warehouse inside!¡±


    Mo Xi observed the surrounding situation and felt it was very well hidden. He said with satisfaction, ¡°This place is not bad. It¡¯s just right to imprison her. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a little creepy at night.¡±


    The bodyguard chuckled and bowed, ¡°As long as you think it¡¯s good! We don¡¯t dare to be negligent in our work for Young Master. ¡±


    Mo Xi nodded and walked into the wet warehouse. He saw Lan Ling on the old iron bed at a glance.


    The look in his eyes slowly turned cold. He walked over and sat on the chair opposite Lan Ling. He asked softly, ¡°How did it go, Miss Lan? Have you thought about how you will explain those things to me?¡±


    Lan Ling¡¯s right hand was cuffed to the pillar. She lowered her head as if she didn¡¯t hear his question.


    Mo Xi looked at Lan Ling coldly. He knew she had heard his voice but pretended not to hear it.


    Mo Xi sneered and continued to ask patiently, ¡°Miss Lan, you¡¯re not going to tell me? It doesn¡¯t matter. I have time to waste with you! In any case, you¡¯re no different from a dead person to the young master! I can interrogate you however I want.¡±


    When Mo Xi mentioned Mo Qian, Lan Ling raised her head slightly.


    She was in a sorry state, but her eyes were stubborn and cold. She sneered, ¡°Oh? Since that¡¯s the case, why did you come down? Can¡¯t you leave me to my own devices? Therefore, I should still have some value, which is why big brother Qian can¡¯t bear to kill me!¡±


    When Mo Xi heard this, he snorted coldly. ¡°You¡¯re nothing to the young master. However, you were right about one thing. You do have some value! Will you tell me the truth, or do you want me to investigate you one piece at a time? If I were to do it, Miss Lan, you wouldn¡¯t be too comfortable.¡±


    Lan Ling¡¯s eyes began to turn red. She took a few steps in Mo Xi¡¯s direction and sneered, ¡°Mo Xi! You¡¯re just brother Qian¡¯s dog. Why are you acting so high and mighty here? If you have the ability, kill me!¡±


    Lan Ling had been locked up in this damn place for a day. These people cut off her water and food. They wanted to dig out her secret through various means.


    That was the only thing that could save her life now. How could she tell them so quickly?


    Looking at Lan Ling¡¯s fearless and stubborn appearance, Mo Xi found it ridiculous.¡±Do you think I don¡¯t dare to kill you? For a woman like you who¡¯s full of lies and greed and van, killing you will only make my hands dirty!¡±


    ¡°Do you think the young master doesn¡¯t know what you lied to him about? The person who saved Young master in Kyushu Harbor back then wasn¡¯t you! You pretended to be the young master¡¯s Savior and freeloaded at the Mo family for a year. You¡¯re bold. You are as thick as the City walls.¡± Mo Xi looked at Lan Ling with a frown and said in a cold voice.


    Lan Ling¡¯s mind went blank for a moment, and her face turned pale.


    As expected, Mo Qian already knew that she had lied to him. But how did he know? Since he already knew, why didn¡¯t he kill her to vent his anger?


    One had to know that all the people in this world who dared to deceive Mo Qian were dead!


    Lan Ling felt that she had never revealed any flaws. She didn¡¯t understand how Mo Qian saw through her.


    Lan Ling felt that her whole world had collapsed. It started when Mo Qian took out his phone and played the video that destroyed her.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this! Could a broken ring be used to exchange for his care? No, it must be because I¡¯m unique to him. Brother Qian must love me, and we should get married and have children ¡­ He loves me.¡± Lan Ling slowly fell to the ground. Tears fell from the dry corners of her eyes as she muttered to herself.


    The bodyguards looked at her nervously and worriedly, ¡°Special Assistant Mo, is this woman crazy?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not crazy! You¡¯re the crazy one!¡± Lan Ling suddenly raised her head and looked at them, shouting sternly.

 Chapter 68 - An Eye For an Eye

    Lan Ling turned her head and stared at Mo Xi. After a long time, she asked hoarsely, ¡°He ¡­ Since he knew that I wasn¡¯t the one who saved him, why didn¡¯t he just kill me?¡±


    Lan Ling¡¯s body seemed to have been forcibly stripped of all color, and her whole person was defeated and desperate.


    Under such circumstances, she had no other way out. She could only helplessly accept the truth that Mo Xi had conveyed to her. She was not unique to Mo Qian.


    Maxi stood up, slowly walked over, and squatted beside her.


    Mo Xi¡¯s voice softened, and he even said gently, ¡°Perhaps Young Master is giving you a chance and waiting for you to turn back? You went too far that day, and you stubbornly went against him. That¡¯s why he ordered you to be locked up! After all, you¡¯ve been with the young master for almost a year. It would be a lie to say that you have no feelings for him. Don¡¯t you understand what kind of person the young master is?¡±


    Lan Ling¡¯s tears flowed even more fiercely. She thought of how good Mo Qian had been to her in the past and cried so hard that her eyes were red and swollen.


    ¡°So, if you tell him everything honestly, Young Master might still think of you in the future!¡± Maxi said in a gentle voice, but his eyes showed no kindness.


    Lan Ling looked up at him, nodded, and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you everything!¡±


    Mo Xi¡¯s lips curled up into a smile, and he looked at her encouragingly.


    Half an hour later, Mo Xi stood up from Lan Ling¡¯s side, took the recording pen in his pocket, and pressed the switch. The expression on his face had returned to indifference.


    Lan Ling had a bad feeling in her heart. She looked at Mo Xi and said in a trembling voice, ¡°Then can you help me plead with brother Qian and ask him to let me out? I promise I¡¯ll be good and not bother him.¡±


    Mo Xi looked at her coldly, and after a while, he nodded and turned to leave.


    Outside the warehouse, the bodyguard glanced at Mo Xi¡¯s expression and asked softly, ¡°Special Assistant, are you going to plead for this woman? She had lied to Young Master for almost a year! Such a shameless woman, we ¡­¡±


    ¡°Who said I was going to plead for her?¡± Mo Xi looked at him sideways, sneered, and said, ¡°Saying those words was to coax her to speak!¡±


    ¡°Then, did you lie to her? Young master doesn¡¯t like her, right?¡± The bodyguard asked with uncertainty.


    Mo Xi rubbed the corners of his tired eyes. ¡°I¡¯m just giving him a taste of his own medicine! Since she intended to deceive the young master, she should have expected today¡¯s outcome.¡±


    ¡°Keep an eye on her, don¡¯t let her die.¡± Mo Xi instructed and left.


    There were many greedy people in the world, and Lan Ling was one of them. Mo Qian didn¡¯t want to deal with her so early. She still had many secrets that Mo Qian wanted to know.


    However, she was greedy and eager for quick success.


    Not only did Lan Ling owe Zhuang Xian a life-saving debt, she even had the whimsical idea of becoming the mistress of the entire Mo family. Those ugly, greedy schemes had hit Mo Qian¡¯s head. Would Mo Qian still tolerate her? The answer was no.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t think of himself as a good person, so whoever wanted to do such a good deed of returning evil with good could do it! He would not do it anyway.


    At 10 O¡¯clock the following day, Zhuang Xian had already arrived at the training ground of the supercar Alliance.


    The seat Zhuang Xian had chosen was very secluded, but it was very safe. She leaned against the guardrails of the audience seats. She was flipping through the report on the recent operations of the Alliance that Wang Yang had brought over.


    Wang Yang stood nervously beside Zhuang Xian. He didn¡¯t even dare to take a deep breath, afraid that he would make sister Xian angry!


    After sending the work email yesterday, Wang Yang started to regret it.


    Zhuang Xian put the folder in her hand and looked at Wang Yang. She said, ¡°Well done.¡±


    Wang Yang was overjoyed. He smiled. ¡°It¡¯s all because you¡¯ve built a good foundation, sister Xian. I¡¯m just an extra flower on top of a brocade!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded slightly, then snapped her fingers and said, ¡°I¡¯ve bought a few racing cars for the team. They should be here in a few days. Keep an eye on them, and don¡¯t make any mistakes.¡±


    ¡°Alright, Sister Xian. I¡¯ll check it carefully. I won¡¯t make any mistakes.¡± Wang Yang replied seriously.


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyes slightly and looked at Wang Yang with a threatening look. ¡°Is the mad scientist still in the Alliance?¡±


    Wang Yang was taken aback. The relaxed expression on his face immediately turned bitter. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, what was meant to come would come.

 Chapter 69 - The Threesome

    Wang Yang gritted his teeth and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Sister Xian! Punishing the mad scientist and letting him participate in the competition were not conflicting matters. If you let him go this time, he might even bring back a trophy for our League!¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not say a word and only looked at him coldly.


    Those who liked racing, an extreme sport, were usually young people who were rich and had nothing to do.


    And Xiang Nan happened to be a model of this kind of person. Not only did he like it himself, but he also liked to drag his brothers around him to participate.


    Xiang Nan walked to the side of the new car that he had been looking forward to for a long time and excitedly shouted to Mo Qian in the distance, ¡°Mo Qian, come and take a look at my new car! You¡¯re already here, so don¡¯t just sit there and not move!¡±


    As a responsible doctor, Si Rong heard Xiang Nan¡¯s words as soon as he walked to the side of the field. He was highly annoyed.


    He pretended fiercely and chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you called me out! Mo Qian is still sick. What are you trying to do now?¡±


    Seeing that Xiang Nan was unmoved and only had eyes for his beloved car, Si Rong felt helpless. He shouted, ¡°Come over here first.¡±


    Xiang Nan had been in the training ground for the past few days. When his new car arrived, he immediately informed his brothers and asked them to come and admire his favorite car.


    That was why the two busy people were called out.


    Fortunately, Mo Qian and Si Rong were mature and steady and not violent people. Otherwise, they would have given him a ¡®friendly greeting¡¯ as brothers for the high-profile flaunting of his car.


    Seeing Xiang Nan walk toward them, Sii Rong raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly, ¡°This training ground is already yours? Your new car just arrived, and you¡¯re already showing it off on the training ground?¡±


    Xiang Nan glared at him and slowly smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll take it that you¡¯re jealous of me! I won¡¯t argue with you.¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Mo Qian and went around to his back. As he pushed his wheelchair, he said, ¡°Brother Qian, how are you sick? I think you¡¯re bored! Don¡¯t just think about making money and working all day. Why don¡¯t you come out and have some fun? And Si Rong, you¡¯re almost dying from the disinfectant! It¡¯s time for the two of you to come out and get some sun!¡±


    Si Rong was speechless. ¡°This is the first time I realized that you¡¯re so eloquent,¡± he said. ¡°It¡¯ll be a waste if you don¡¯t make a speech.¡±


    ¡°What a waste of heavenly resources.¡± Mo Qian nodded in agreement and added at the right time.


    The three good Brothers laughed together in tacit understanding, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.


    Mo Qian turned his head to look at the two people walking behind him, the smile in his eyes unconcealed.


    He smiled at Xiang Nan and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t pushed the membership to the top, have you? The last time you watched the competition, you saw that Gao Peng could participate in the member competition, and you were very envious.¡±


    ¡°No, but I¡¯m on good terms with their manager.¡± Xiang Nan pushed Mo Qian in front of his beloved car and answered calmly.


    Si Rong observed the reaction on Mo Qian¡¯s face and found that everything was normal. He then turned to Xiang Nan and said, ¡°Oh? Have you met their boss? I heard that their boss is a very mysterious person. No one has seen his true face yet!¡±


    ¡°The manager! He¡¯s not the boss.¡± Xiang Nan explained, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen the boss before. I want to meet this talent if there¡¯s a chance.¡±


    He didn¡¯t know why, but when they discussed this topic, Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice automatically appeared in Mo Qian¡¯s mind. The last time he had stopped her in the underground parking lot, she had given him a huge ¡®surprise¡¯!


    ¡°Motherf*cker! I said I¡¯m going to that game! Why do I have to stay on the team for so long just because she said so? I just made a small mistake. Is there a need to be so extreme? Motherf*cker!¡± When the mad scientist heard Wang Yang¡¯s words, he immediately threw the water bottle in his hand.


    Although he was looking at Wang Yang, his aggressive tone was directed at Zhuang Xian, who was at the corridor¡¯s entrance.


    The mad scientist¡¯s voice was booming, and it quickly attracted the attention of Mo Qian and the others.


    Xiang Nan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the madman. He said to his two brothers, ¡°That¡¯s the madman! My favorite racing driver!¡±


    Si Rong looked at the madman a few times before retracting his gaze. He shook his head and said, ¡°This guy¡¯s character isn¡¯t too good.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at the figure at the passage¡¯s entrance, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.


    1

 Chapter 70 - . Are You Not Convinced?

    When Zhuang Xian was at work, she was a straightforward person who did not go back on her words.


    She didn¡¯t wait for Wang Yang to explain the rules and principles to the mad scientist. She put down her arms and walked toward the mad scientist. She asked coldly, ¡°You feel unconvinced?¡±


    The madman had seen her just now. Seeing how respectful manager Wang Yang was to her, the madman had already guessed that this young girl was probably the boss behind their supercar Alliance.


    Seeing that his boss was so young, some contempt and disdain immediately remained in the madman¡¯s heart. A little girl who looked like she was not even an adult wanted to bully him? In your dreams!


    The madman looked straight into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes and said with a sullen face, ¡°Yes! I¡¯m not convinced! I can create more value for the Alliance, so why do I still have to follow this stupid rule? I¡¯m not convinced.¡±


    Wang Yang was almost scared to death by this idiot. He was truly fearless. How dare he talk to Sister Xian like that? He didn¡¯t know how high the sky was or how thick the earth was!


    ¡°Shut up! Of course, you have to follow the rules of the Alliance. We signed a contract. Do you want to go to court?¡± Wang Yang retorted.


    He wanted to twist this kid¡¯s head off and see if it was filled with sh*t! Since he dared to speak to the boss like that, he must be tired of his job, right?


    The madman was just like his name. His personality was one word: Crazy!


    His insolence came up, and he didn¡¯t care about anything else.


    He retorted loudly, ¡°Why should I shut up? I want to protest and express my opinion! Even if you¡¯re the manager and the boss, you can¡¯t just make the decision yourself! Don¡¯t our team members have the right to protest?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him with an amused smile, her eyes showing a hint of impatience.


    Seeing how arrogant this hothead was, Zhuang Xian had an idea. She said coldly, ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to listen to me, I¡¯ll give you two choices! One, you pay the penalty for breach of contract and leave the supercar! Two, I¡¯ll have a match with you next. If you lose, you¡¯ll have to hold a self-reflection meeting in front of all the supercar members, and the theme will be, ¡®I¡¯m an idiot!¡¯ How is that? Which one do you choose?¡±


    Wang Yang looked at Zhuang Xian in a daze and then at the mad scientist. He swallowed his saliva with some difficulty. He had never expected things to turn out this way!


    The reason why the madman was crazy was that he had something he could rely on, and that was his vivid and crazy driving skills.


    He laughed coldly and replied readily, ¡°I choose the second option! But, if you lose, what do we do? You can¡¯t let me suffer alone, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed, her beautiful face blossoming like a beautiful rose. She said lazily, ¡°If I lose, I¡¯ll let you participate in an international competition. Also, from now on, Wang Yang will no longer control your life outside the team! How is it?¡±


    ¡°Deal!¡± The madman¡¯s eyes lit up, and he laughed evilly.


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal,¡± After Zhuang Xian said this, she turned around and walked towards the changing room. She would do what she said. This was Zhuang Xian¡¯s style.


    Mo Qian immediately recognized Zhuang Xian. He looked in that direction and muttered to himself, ¡°What is she doing here?¡±


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    The two questions came one after another in booming tones. Mo Qian was amused by the sudden synchronization of the two. He turned to look at the two, and the words he wanted to say were at the tip of his tongue, but he was choked by the gossip and excitement in Xiang Nan¡¯s eyes.


    Xiang Nan¡¯s understanding of Mo Qian over the years showed that his gaze and tone just now were very different!


    Si Rong had the same feeling. He exchanged a glance with Xiang Nan, then turned to Mo Qian simultaneously and asked in unison, ¡°Speak! Who did you see?¡±


    ¡°Why do you look like you¡¯re in love?¡± Xiang Nan added.


    Mo Qian looked at Xiang Nan speechlessly. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°No one, just a friend.¡±


    Si Yan looked at Mo Qian¡¯s unnatural expression and asked with a gossipy look, ¡°What, friend? What¡¯s her name?¡±


    ¡°Why are you talking so much nonsense? Where is she? I¡¯ll go pull her over.¡± As Xiang Nan spoke, he looked in the direction Mo Qian had just looked and was about to go over.


    The arrogant Mo Qian suddenly felt powerless toward the two of them. He said helplessly, ¡°Alright! What are you two doing? Did you not take your medicine today? Why are you so excited?¡±

 Chapter 71 - I Like You

    Si Rong¡¯s clear, intelligent eyes had already seen through too many things. He smiled at Mo Qian and explained warmly, ¡°Once, Xiang Nan and I saw a girl he liked on the street. Xiang Nan¡¯s expression at that time was the same as yours! Don¡¯t try to hide it from us. Tell us, do you already have someone you like? Uncle Mo told me you had an accident at the party a few days ago. A charming girl saved you. Is it that girl? Was she here just now?¡±


    Si Rong and Xiang Nan couldn¡¯t be blamed for being so excited about this!


    Mo Qian had been around for many years and had never had a woman or man by his side.


    Xiang Nan and Si Rong had never seen Mo Qian express feelings beyond friendship with friends. For many years, he had lived like an ascetic monk who didn¡¯t know how to love.


    He was such a person who was not close to the mortal world and was not tainted by the dust of the world. When he saw the girl just now, his eyes had joy.


    Mo Qian seemed to have been enlightened and found someone he liked! This was a huge surprise. How could Xiang Nan and Si Rong not be excited and gossip?


    Our President Mo, a high-quality, rich, and handsome among the top ten outstanding young men of City H, should have been a character like a wastrel in love. In the end, it was a little abnormal for him to be so clean and not be lustful.


    Mo Qian was slightly taken aback by Si Rong¡¯s words. After a moment of silence, he asked again, ¡°So you¡¯re saying that my reaction when I saw her just now was that I like her?


    Is that so?¡±


    Xiang Nan,¡±¡­¡± It¡¯s over. I wanted to see the iron tree bloom, but why does it only seem to be half-blooming?


    Si Rong wasn¡¯t as lively as Xiang Nan. He was more steady and reliable. Although he hadn¡¯t expected the current situation, Si Rong thoughtfully answered Mo Qian¡¯s question.


    ¡°If you feel happy and want to laugh when you see her, or if you think of her from time to time when you¡¯re alone and feel happy just thinking about her, then you¡¯ll be happy! That means that there¡¯s a high chance that you¡¯ve fallen for her!¡± Si Rong smiled. His eyes were full of ridicule. ¡°Young man, you¡¯ve fallen in love.¡±


    Xiang Nan stood on the side and looked at Si Rong in admiration. He gave him a thumbs up and praised him sincerely, ¡°brother Rong, you¡¯re an expert in true love!¡±


    After hearing Si Rong¡¯s words, Mo Qian turned to look at the passageway they had just come from. Zhuang Xian was no longer there, so she must have left.


    Mo Qian retracted his gaze and lowered his head in deep thought. His handsome brows and eyes closed slightly, and the quiet aura around him made him look even more handsome.


    He felt that there had been a noticeable change in his mind. If he followed what SI Rong had said, he seemed to have fallen fang Xian!


    1


    Mo Qian liked Zhuang Xian!


    The corners of Mo Qian¡¯s lips suddenly lifted again. He looked up at si Rong and chuckled.¡±¡±Thank you, brother! If I succeed in the future, you¡¯ll be the first one I¡¯ll treat. ¡±


    ¡°Tsk!¡± Xiang Nan expressed his dissatisfaction and asked with a smile, ¡°What about me? I¡¯m not worthy, right?¡±


    ¡°Alright, you too!¡± Mo Qian said in a happy mood.


    Mo Qian felt that his trip here had been worth it. Not only did he see the person he had been thinking about for the past few days, but he also understood his feelings.


    It turned out that he had been in love with that special girl for a long time. When did he start to lose track of her? It was only when he realized this that this person had been hidden in his heart for a long time.


    ¡°So, who is this person who can take you down, Mo Qian?¡± Xiang Nan was still very curious about the person just now, so he pulled Mo Qian and asked him.


    The desire for knowledge in his eyes was so intense that even Mo Qian couldn¡¯t stand it. ¡°If we meet again in the future, I¡¯ll tell you. Don¡¯t be in a hurry.¡±


    Mo Qian did not know that this opportunity would come at such a convenient and coincidental time!


    Wang Yang stood at the race track entrance, not far from them. He looked at the madman with a conflicted expression.¡±You¡¯ve gone too far this time. Just wait to be trampled by sister Xian, you ignorant brat!¡±

 Chapter 72 - Lost His Avatar Again

    When the mad scientist heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He raised his head arrogantly, ¡°We¡¯ll only know who wins and who loses when we get on the track! Manager, don¡¯t try to scare me. I¡¯m not that scared!¡±


    The mad scientist did not lower his voice when he spoke. He raised his voice so that Zhuang Xian, walking over from the entrance, could hear him.


    Zhuang Xian was a gorgeous woman. When the madman looked at her, there was not only defiance and provocation in his eyes but more of a man¡¯s desire to conquer and invade beautiful women.


    Not only was Zhuang Xian pretty, but she was also rich. If he could beat her this time, he could imagine what would happen next. He was very confident in his flirting skills.


    Xiang Nan heard the noise and looked up, just in time to see his crazy idol and manager Wang.


    His eyes lit up, and he surprisedly said, ¡°Is there a practice match for the mad scientist today? I haven¡¯t seen him on the track for a long time!¡±


    He turned back to look at Mo Qian and Si Rong and suggested, ¡°Do you want to go over and say hello?¡±


    Si Rong didn¡¯t care, but Mo Qian wanted to look for Zhuang Xian and see if she had left.


    However, the next second, the person he was thinking of once again magically appeared in front of him.


    ¡°Manager Wang!¡± Xiang Nan saw that the two of them didn¡¯t say anything, so he took it as a silent agreement and shouted at Wang Yang.


    Wang Yang heard someone calling him and turned to look in their direction. Zhuang Xian also turned her head.


    When Zhuang Xian turned her head, she saw Mo Qian immediately. She had a bad feeling in her heart. She wouldn¡¯t be caught red-handed by Mo Qian again, right? Her avatar as the boss of the Alliance seemed to be on the verge of collapse!


    As Zhuang Xian thought about this, she couldn¡¯t help but lick her dry lips. She still looked a little guilty. When Mo Qian and the two people behind him arrived, Zhuang Xian was still thinking about how to gloss over this matter.


    Wang Yang and Xiang Nan seemed to be very close.


    ¡°Brother Nan, you¡¯re bringing a new friend over again? Do you need me to make arrangements?¡± Wang Yang said with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Mo Qian. ¡°President Mo, you¡¯re here too. Welcome to the supercar!¡±


    No one in City H would not recognize Mo Qian¡¯s face. He was a Golden Buddha!


    ¡°No need,¡± Xiang Nan nodded and chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m here today to try my new car!¡± As he spoke, he looked at the madman, and the smile on his face became more apparent. He asked excitedly, ¡°Which international events are you running to? I¡¯ll come and cheer for you!¡±


    The madman was also very familiar with this rich fan of his. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhuang Xian, and smiled at Xiang Nan. ¡°Ain¡¯t I fighting for a chance to compete with our boss?¡±


    Mo Qian was sure that he had heard the crazy person¡¯s words. His eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise and asked, ¡°Boss?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    If she could turn back time, Zhuang Xian wanted to go back two minutes ago and strangle the madman, who had no hair on his mouth.


    ¡°Yup! My boss said that I had to win this round to be qualified to participate in the competition. ¡± The mad scientist added on time, and in the next moment, he pulled down Zhuang Xian¡¯s cover in front of Mo Qian.


    Zhuang Xian glared at the mad scientist with an unkind expression, her eyes so cold that it was as if she was about to kill someone.


    Mo Qian had long since realized what was going on. He looked at Zhuang Xian with a strange expression and asked in surprise, ¡°Is the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter the boss behind the racing Alliance?¡±


    After speaking, he suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and continued with a chuckle, ¡°You¡¯ve surprised me!¡±


    It seemed like she couldn¡¯t hide her identity anymore, so Zhuang Xian decided to admit it. She relaxed her furrowed brows and said with a smile, ¡°Welcome, President Mo.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked straight into Mo Qian¡¯s inquiring yet smiling eyes and cursed in her heart about the coincidence today!


    Mo Qian¡¯s lips curled into a devilish smile as he nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come by more often in the future.¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around and glared at Wang Yang coldly.


    ¡°Take good care of President Mo and his friends. Put today¡¯s expenses on my tab.¡±


    1


    After speaking, she glanced at the madman and walked before him. She said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    ¡°Yes, sister Xian!¡± Wang Yang quickly replied. He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s hot and beautiful back and silently lit a few candles for the madman in his heart. Good luck, young man!

 Chapter 73 - Accept The Truth

    Wang Yang looked at the madman and shook his head. He turned back to Mo Qian, bowed, and smiled, ¡°Boss Mo, do you want me to arrange a more comfortable viewing room for you? This way, you and your friends can watch the competition.¡±


    Xiang Nan, hesitating a few times when he saw Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian talking, finally snapped back to his senses. He continued Wang Yang¡¯s sentence and asked, ¡°This beauty is your boss? Did she not come here often in the past? How come I¡¯ve never seen her before?¡±


    Thinking about how Zhuang Xian usually kept a low profile, Wang Yang¡¯s words got stuck in his throat. How was he supposed to explain this to the guests?


    ¡°She probably doesn¡¯t come here often, so you haven¡¯t met her.¡± Mo Qian glanced at Xiang Nan and responded with a faint smile.


    You¡¯ve seen her before, but you can¡¯t recognize her. Mo Qian added in his heart.


    His eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian and madman in the distance. They had already started the engine of their racing cars and stopped side by side at the starting point.


    This little girl had hidden her identity well. Not to mention Xiang Nan and Si Rong, even though he, the king of City H, had been kept in the dark for so long!


    Xiang Nan frowned and glanced at Mo Qian, who had answered him. He asked with a puzzled look, ¡°Brother Qian, you know this beauty? Are you close? How do you know so much?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear Mo Qian call her fourth Miss Zhuang?¡± Si Rong had always been an observant and analytical person. He had been observing Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian¡¯s entire conversation. He connected it to Mo Qian¡¯s strange behavior earlier and his ambiguous words just now.


    Si Rong had a clear idea of what was going on.


    He glanced at Mo Qian with a smile and turned his head to Xiang Nan, ¡°She should be the Zhuang family¡¯s new adopted daughter, Zhuang Xian.¡±


    Xiang Nan paused for a moment, a little surprised. ¡°You¡¯re saying she¡¯s the pretty girl who saved brother Qian at the banquet last time, Zhuang Xian? She¡¯s the owner of supercar Alliance!¡± Xiang Nan¡¯s expression was as if he had discovered a new continent.


    Mo Qian knew Si Rong had always been brilliant, so he smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. His eyes were fixed on the two racing cars in the distance, and he didn¡¯t even spare a glance at Xiang Nan, who didn¡¯t understand. Si Rong looked at Xiang Nan and nodded, amused. He chuckled. ¡°It looks like it.¡±


    Wang Yang didn¡¯t know what these distinguished guests were talking about. He forced a stiff smile and awkwardly added, ¡°That¡¯s right. Our boss has always been low-key and mysterious. Very few people outside know her identity. It¡¯s reasonable for brother Nan to be so surprised. Haha!¡±


    Mo Qian turned his head and glanced at him. The expression in his eyes was somewhat unclear. He said indifferently, ¡°You can return to your work. I don¡¯t need your company here.¡±


    Wang Yang was taken aback. He carefully observed Mo Qian¡¯s expression and didn¡¯t find anything wrong. He then bowed and left.


    Hearing Mo Qian¡¯s tone, he was worried that he had said something he shouldn¡¯t have, making Mo Qian unhappy!


    Xiang Nan looked at Wang Yang, who was leaving, and said,¡± Does that mean that the girl you like is Zhuang Xian?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve only just come back to your senses? Isn¡¯t your reaction a little too slow?¡± Si Rong said with a smile.


    Looking at Mo Qian, who just smiled without saying a word, Xiang Nan was convinced he was right!


    He took a step back and leaned against the wall behind him, trying to ease his excited and complicated feelings.


    Was his brother Qian for real? Why had he never heard of this Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter? However, she was beautiful. Brother Qian had good taste! Who wouldn¡¯t like such a stunning beauty? She was too suitable to be his sister-in-law.


    Xiang Nan¡¯s imagination ran wild for a long time before he finally accepted that his brother Qian had someone he liked!


    Moreover, he had just seen this person!


    ¡°This Zhuang Xian doesn¡¯t look simple at all!¡± Si Rong found a place to lean against as he looked at the red racing car racing on the track.


    Naturally, Mo Qian understood what Si Rong meant. Si Rong¡¯s words were not only complimenting Zhuang Xian¡¯s superb driving skills, but he was also secretly admiring Zhuang Xian¡¯s identity as the boss of the supercar Alliance.


    He seemed to have woken up from the joy and gossip and began worrying about his brother.

 Chapter 74 - He Has Already Lost

    ¡°She¡¯s just an adopted daughter from an orphanage. How could she be the boss of such a big racing Alliance? Isn¡¯t this a little too illogical?¡± Si Rong glanced at Mo Qian and voiced his worries.


    Surprised, Mo Qian looked at the track in the distance, at the red Phantom. He chuckled and said, ¡°That¡¯s not the only thing that¡¯s amazing about her. You¡¯ll understand in the future.¡±


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s calm expression, Xiang Nan continued to ask, ¡°What else is there? Just now, when the crazy guy revealed Zhuang Xian¡¯s identity, I saw that you were quite surprised too, brother Qian! How come you don¡¯t care about it now?¡±


    ¡°Who says I don¡¯t care?¡± Mo Qian replied calmly, ¡°The last time I came with you, I thought she was just a good driver. I didn¡¯t think she was the boss of this place! She was very calm at that time and even coaxed me.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he recalled what had happened in the parking lot. The corners of his mouth curled into a doting smile as he continued, ¡°This little girl is not only smart, but her reaction is also fast. The rarest thing is that she is not flustered in the face of danger, and her mentality is very stable! You guys don¡¯t know, but she¡¯s pretty good at fighting. The last time I met her in the underground parking lot, she took down more than a dozen people by herself!¡±


    Xiang Nan recalled what had happened last time and finally reacted. Surprised, he said, ¡°The person you blocked last time was her? Was she here at that time? How come I didn¡¯t see her?¡±


    As Xiang Nan said this, he felt so confused. Why did he not know so much about Mo Qian¡¯s affairs? He didn¡¯t seem to be doing his job well as a brother.


    Mo Qian glanced at Xiang Nan and explained in a low voice, ¡°Not only was she there, but she also participated in a competition for your idol and sent Gao Peng to the hospital where Si Rong was.¡±


    When Si Rong heard Mo Qian¡¯s words, he paused for a moment before he laughed again. ¡°That¡¯s enough. You¡¯ve connected all of them! It turns out that we¡¯ve already had so much contact with the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth miss. That¡¯s good!¡±


    ¡°But then again, from how she treated you just now, you two don¡¯t seem very close!¡±


    When Si Rong thought of this, he said it out loud.


    When he felt the temperature around Mo Qian drop, Si Rong¡¯s intelligent brain finally reacted. He had probably touched Mo Qian¡¯s freezing point.


    He looked at Mo Qian with amusement. Their insufferably arrogant President Mo couldn¡¯t be in a state of unrequited love. Zhuang Xian might not even know that Mo Qian liked her.


    After coming to this conclusion, Si Rong suddenly felt that things had become interesting. He had never seen Mo Qian beaten!


    Mo Qian¡¯s slightly cold gaze made Si Rong sensibly swallow his words back. He smiled faintly and thought, ¡®Forget it, forget it. I don¡¯t think I can afford to offend Mo Qian. I¡¯d better not provoke him!¡¯


    It seemed that this was how good brothers were. The degree of concern they had for any embarrassing incident of yours would exceed your mood and feelings. Sometimes, they seemed to only care about their happiness! What was a brother? It didn¡¯t seem to be very important.


    Xiang Nan quietly sorted out these things. In the distance, the sound system had already signaled that the game had entered the final pursuit.


    ¡°There are still two more challenging turns left, and the madman will give it his all! Otherwise, he won¡¯t have a chance to overtake.¡± Si Rong squinted at the race track in the distance and explained indifferently,


    Mo Qian was also looking in that direction. Then his eyes could no longer be concealed. He chuckled and said, ¡°Actually, he has already lost. Zhuang Xian will not let him have the chance to overtake her.¡±


    ¡°Yo! You¡¯re so confident in her.¡± Si Rong laughed and teased.


    Xiang Nan glanced at Mo Qian with a bitter look in his eyes. His brother Qian¡¯s road to pursuing his wife in the future might be long!


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s ferocity and tenacity in her race, she did not look like someone easy to chase! Only Mo Qian would dare to like such a girl.


    Roses all had thorns. Indeed, the more beautiful a woman was, the more dangerous she was. Xiang Nan pursed his lips and thought seriously.


    The madman now had the same feeling as Xiang Nan. Zhuang Xian¡¯s strength was too terrifying and dangerous!


    The mad scientist had always been confident in his unique and life-threatening way of running. Still, today, he had met Zhuang Xian.

 Chapter 75 - Inexplicable

    His crazy and flamboyant racing skills allowed him to be invincible on the race track. Everyone was afraid of him, so naturally, they couldn¡¯t win!


    However, Zhuang Xian was not afraid of him.


    Only the madman knew how depressed and painful it was for him to run in this race. Since the car entered the track, Zhuang Xian had been on top of him several times. He had been eating dust as he followed behind Zhuang Xian¡¯s car. This was a fatal insult to top racers!


    For the rest of the race, no matter how crazy madman stepped on the gas pedal and threatened to tilt the car, Zhuang Xian was steady and calm. In other words, she was relaxed and neat.


    She seemed to have carefully calculated the angle of all the turns on this track. The precise data supported all her driving routes and the angle of the turns. Her route was the most perfect!


    She was as familiar with the track as she was with the flow of her blood vessels and meridians.


    The mad scientist had no chance of winning from the very beginning.


    Zhuang Xian was furious that the mad scientist had just exposed her identity, so she did not hold back. When making her final charge, Zhuang Xian even laughed in disdain.


    The madman had always been so arrogant that Zhuang Xian thought he had other ways to win her! It turned out that he was taking advantage of her old wealth. He could not win against her like this.


    When she crossed the finish line, the judge announced Zhuang Xian¡¯s result, which had broken the result she had set last year. As expected, the only person who could surpass the boss was the boss herself!


    When the car stopped, Zhuang Xian opened the door and got out. She looked at the madman who had arrived late and coldly took off her safety helmet.


    Her smooth, black, and shiny long hair fell like a waterfall and snuggled against her slender and beautiful figure. Zhuang Xian looked coldly at the madman who had stopped the car and turned off the engine. She casually rubbed her long hair.


    Madman sat in the driver¡¯s seat, gritted his teeth, and slammed the steering wheel angrily. He roared unwillingly and slowly got out of the car.


    Looking up at his boss in the distance, madman took a few deep breaths and walked over in resignation. He lowered his head and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°I lost! I will fulfill our bet.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him lazily and lectured him coldly, ¡°You¡¯re quite capable, but car racing isn¡¯t something that¡¯s always the same. You can¡¯t last long just by relying on your crazy drive. It would help if you still had other means to achieve victory. Don¡¯t always think about eating your old wealth and the rice of your youth. How long would you be young?¡±


    The mad scientist had lost so embarrassingly that he naturally did not dare to talk back to Zhuang Xian.


    He lowered his head and listened to Zhuang Xian. He was slowly listening to her.


    He had never been the kind of person who would take someone¡¯s advice seriously, but he had to admit that Zhuang Xian was right!


    In front of an absolute skill user, he would have to hold back any unruly and lewd personality.


    After Zhuang Xian finished, she glared at the crazy man coldly before walking away.


    Zhuang Xian was holding onto her safety helmet. She saw Mo Qian waiting for her when she reached the emergency exit.


    Zhuang Xian took a deep breath and walked over helplessly. She smiled fakely and said, ¡°President Mo, you¡¯re still here? You¡¯re so free today?¡±


    Mo Qian smiled. ¡°Yes, I was busy with Ming En¡¯s matters for the past two days. I was so busy that my feet didn¡¯t even touch the ground. I just had time today, so I took a break.¡±


    Mo Xi had just come over from the company and missed many exciting things. Now that he heard the young master speak, he looked up at him with a bit of surprise.


    Why was it that Young Master took credit for himself after not seeing him for a while? That was a vast improvement!


    He turned to look at Young Master Xiang Nan and saw the same expression in his eyes. However, Young Master Si Rong, standing beside him, had a faint smile. He seemed to understand the situation better than the two of them.


    Zhuang Xian raised her delicate eyebrows and looked at Mo Qian in surprise. She wondered with uncertainty, ¡°Was Mo Qian trying to claim the credit?


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s calm smile, Zhuang Xian chose to play dumb. ¡°That¡¯s right, President Mo, you should rest more. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±


    Zhuang Xian suppressed the inexplicable guilt that rose in her heart and lifted her legs to leave.


    How could Mo Qian let her off so quickly?


    He turned the ring on his finger and chuckled, ¡°Our families are still in a cooperative relationship. Since I¡¯m already at your place, wouldn¡¯t it be a little unreasonable if you don¡¯t play the part of a good host?¡±

 Chapter 76 - A Simple Meal?

    When Zhuang Xian heard Mo Qian¡¯s words, she slowly stopped in her tracks. She looked at Mo Qian with a dangerous gaze as several thoughts flashed through her mind.


    Was Mo Qian threatening her?


    Zhuang Xian also knew that with her current identity, there was no longer any possibility of her hiding it from Mo Qian.


    She didn¡¯t want to get too involved with Mo Qian in these matters, but it didn¡¯t matter if he knew. After all, she was his Savior now!


    If Mo Qian wanted to do anything to harm her, he would have to think carefully about how she had saved his life!


    In fact, after saving Mo Qian the last time, Zhuang Xian realized that their relationship had become a little strange and complicated.


    She had saved Mo Qian once, and Mo Qian had also discovered many of her secret identities through various coincidences and accidents.


    He knew she was a skilled driver, knew martial arts, and had some medical knowledge. Now, he had even directly found out that she was the boss of the racing Alliance.


    The two of them had unknowingly developed a strange balance and tacit understanding.


    Right now, Zhuang Xian does not want to ruin her relationship with Mo Qian. Mo Qian was a person that she could not make an enemy of.


    For the delicate balance between the two, Zhuang Xian still had to consider giving face to President Mo. After looking at Mo Qian with an ambiguous expression for a long while, she said, ¡°I was being thoughtless. President Mo and your friends haven¡¯t had lunch yet, have they? The dishes in this restaurant are all delicious. Do you want to have a simple meal together?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian slowly nodded his head. His pair of amorous Phoenix eyes were filled with joy as he replied, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s great. The guest should suit the host. Lead the way, Zhuang Xian.¡±


    This was the first time that Zhuang Xian had heard Mo Qian call her by her name. She was slightly taken aback and looked at Mo Qian strangely. Then, she retracted her gaze and walked in front of him.


    Mo Xi pushed Mo Qian and followed behind her.


    Seeing the strange atmosphere between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian, Si Rong and Xiang Nan looked at each other tacitly and followed them quietly.


    They all agreed that not only would they be able to watch the show, but they could also get a free lunch. This was killing two birds with one stone, so why not?


    Right now, it was lunchtime for the Alliance.


    Zhuang Xian led Mo Qian and his group to a private room on the restaurant¡¯s second floor. This place was relatively hidden and would not attract too much attention.


    Xiang Nan looked at the delicious food on the table and couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva.


    He was famished today. After he sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Si Rong glanced at Xiang Nan as if he was already used to this side of him.


    After Mo Qian took a sip of the soup, he raised his head and looked at Zhuang Xian, who was sitting opposite him. He asked softly, ¡°Why did you have to compete with the mad scientist just now? Is it related to the previous incident?¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Qian¡¯s question, Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at him, a little puzzled. Not only did she have to entertain them, but she also had to eat and chat with them, right?


    ¡°I¡¯m just disciplining a disobedient team member. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Zhuang Xian replied calmly.


    She glanced at the two unfamiliar people beside Mo Qian and thought about it. She felt that she should take precautions. She felt that Mo Qian would not announce her identity to the outside world, but it might not be the case for these two people.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Xiang Nan and Si Rong and asked with a smile, ¡°I still don¡¯t know how to address these two?¡±


    Xiang Nan did not expect Zhuang Xian to initiate a conversation with them. Just as he was about to introduce himself to her, Mo Qian beat him to it.


    ¡°They¡¯re my good friends.¡± Mo Qian spoke a little faster as if trying to interrupt Xiang Nan. ¡°His name is Xiang Nan, the youngest son of the Xiang family. The one beside him is Si Rong, a doctor at Ren Xin hospital in City H.¡±


    Xiang Nan and Si Rong looked at Mo Qian speechlessly after hearing his introduction.


    ¡°That¡¯s it? Brother Qian, is this how you introduce us to Zhuang Xian?¡± Xiang Nan frowned and asked in a sullen tone.


    He turned to look at Zhuang Xian with a bright smile. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Xiang Nan. Si Rong and I are brother Qian¡¯s childhood friends. I think we¡¯ll see each other more often in the future!¡±


    As Xiang Nan spoke, he raised his eyebrows kindly at Zhuang Xian as if he was familiar with her.


    Si Rong also nodded to Zhuang Xian. Since Mo Qian had decided on this girl as his brother, they could only give him their full support.

 Chapter 77 - Gifted

    Zhuang Xian felt that Xiang Nan¡¯s words were a little strange. What did he mean by ¡®I think we¡¯ll see each other more often in the future?¡¯ Moreover, their attitude towards her was also bizarre. Wasn¡¯t it too much to be so enthusiastic when they first met?


    Zhuang Xian looked at them without saying a word and slowly nodded her head.


    Even before Zhuang Xian knew anything, Xiang Nan and Si Rong had already placed her in Mo Qian¡¯s domain.


    Mo Qian did not seem to think there was anything wrong with this. He felt that he had the ability and charm to get Zhuang Xian¡¯s approval. It was only a matter of time!


    The overconfident President Mo still didn¡¯t know how long and difficult his road to pursuing his wife would be.


    The dining table fell into silence again. Mo Qian kept staring at Zhuang Xian, who was eating with her head lowered. He felt that she had been feeling a little uneasy today. Mo Qian lowered his brows and thought for a moment, and a look of understanding slowly appeared in his eyes.


    He put down his chopsticks and said to Zhuang Xian gently, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about what happened today. We won¡¯t reveal your identity. I¡¯ll help you keep all the secrets you don¡¯t want others to know.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard mo Qian suddenly speak, she raised her head and looked at him. After hearing his words, Zhuang Xian was a little stunned.


    ¡°How do you know what I¡¯m thinking?¡± Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian and asked him directly. Her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed as if she had encountered a complicated problem.


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were as gentle as water, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved.¡±I can still see that your little face has not smiled sincerely since you sat with us.¡±


    As he spoke, the smile in his eyes deepened, and his handsome and superior face was full of love. ¡°When I left today, I was still thinking about how to hand you the investigation results of that day. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here so coincidentally. I didn¡¯t bring the information from the investigation. I¡¯ll have someone send it to the Zhuang family later!¡±


    Zhuang Xian stared at Mo Qian and suddenly felt that Mo Qian was trying to flirt with her!


    If that wasn¡¯t the case, how could she explain the love and pampering in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes if that wasn¡¯t the case?


    Under Mo Qian¡¯s deep and serene gaze, Zhuang Xian cleared her suddenly dry throat and said in a daze, ¡°Okay, thank you, President Mo.¡±


    ¡°What are you thanking me for? This is what I promised you, so there¡¯s no need to thank me.¡± Mo Qian said as he added some soup into the bowl and handed it to her.


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    The seduction of an unfashionable man was the most deadly, especially when it was a handsome man like Mo Qian. With that pair of amorous Phoenix eyes looking at you affectionately, can you stand it?


    The most important thing was that Mo Qian knew the right time to advance and retreat. He was polite, proper, careful, thoughtful, and gentle like a master of love.


    Zhuang Xian admitted that she had lived almost two lifetimes and seen many attractive men. She had personally experienced a ¡®heart-wrenching¡¯ love, so she should not be so easily provoked!


    However, the truth told her that her heart had suddenly skipped a beat. Mo Qian had hooked her!


    When she reached out to take the bowl of soup from Mo Qian¡¯s hands, Zhuang Xian felt as if the temperature of his fingertips had scalded her. She almost lost her balance, and the temperature reminded her of Mo Qian¡¯s passionate kiss in the bathroom that day.


    Mo Qian was unconscious then, so only Zhuang Xian knew about the accident.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart felt weird and numb. She only suppressed it a little after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup.


    Mo Xi watched his young master¡¯s actions and was stunned for a while before returning to his senses. He turned his head and exchanged a look with Si Rong, who had turned his head. They both saw the teasing look in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Who said that Mo Qian had never been in love before? Wasn¡¯t he very good at it?


    Were the methods and progress of geniuses in pursuing people all so different?


    President Mo had only confirmed that he liked Zhuang Xian a few hours ago. Now, he could have lunch with the person he liked and even take the opportunity to show his concern and flirt with her!


    This was what it meant to be gifted, right? Si Rong thought helplessly as he shook his head.


    This lunch that had been torture for Zhuang Xian was finally over. After Zhuang Xian greeted Mo Qian politely, she quickly slipped away.


    It was Mo Xi¡¯s first time seeing the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter in such a panic. When she turned around and saw the young master¡¯s calm and composed expression, she admired Mo Qian even more.


    The young master was top-notch in everything he did, including flirting!

 Chapter 78 - . Saint Valley Medicine

    Si Rong had two more operations to attend to in the afternoon and had to return to the hospital. He looked at Mo Qian and chuckled. ¡°Let¡¯s take it slow. There¡¯s still a long way to go.¡±


    Mo Qian raised his head to look at him. ¡°Hurry up and leave,¡± he said softly. ¡°Let¡¯s meet again if we have the chance.¡±


    ¡°I hope you¡¯ll have made good progress by the next time we meet.¡± Si Rong said with a smile.


    Mo Qian raised his thick and sharp eyebrows slightly and replied happily, ¡°Thank you for your kind words.¡±


    Naturally, young master Xiang Nan had nothing to do. He stood behind Mo Qian and watched Si Rong¡¯s back as he left. ¡°I was going to let him drive my new car today, but it was delayed.¡±


    As Xiang Nan spoke, he looked down at Mo Qian¡¯s leg and sighed. ¡°Brother Qian, when will your leg recover? Aren¡¯t you the one who had been looking for Saint Valley¡¯s medicine master since before the new year? Still no news?¡±


    When Mo Xi heard Xiang Nan mention Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury, he subconsciously observed Mo Qian¡¯s expression. Seeing the young master wasn¡¯t angry, Mo Xi sighed with relief, and the stone in his heart gently rolled down.


    Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was taboo in the Mo family.


    In the past, he hated his crippled body that could not walk. God had never owed him anything in other aspects. Because of this strange illness, he could not walk normally, run like ordinary people, and exercise and sweat for the rest of his life!


    The Mo family cherished such a talented successor, but they couldn¡¯t do anything about his leg injury.


    Before the new year, grandmother Mo had gone to Yunqi mountain to visit master Yin Yun of the Yunqi temple. She had asked for a silk pouch and said it could help her resolve the knot in her heart.


    Grandma Mo had enjoyed a life of luxury and wealth, so there was no knot in her heart! It was just that her precious grandson¡¯s legs had not been cured.


    At that time, master Yin Yun had looked at her with a faint smile and pointed at the silk bag in her hand, telling her to go down the mountain.


    Naturally, grandmother Mo respected master Yin Yun. After they had descended the mountain, she opened the silk bag. Inside, there was a piece of talisman paper and a note.


    The talisman paper was the protective talisman that Mo Qian¡¯s grandmother had requested for him, but master Yin Yun gave the slip of paper. There was only a short line of words on it, ¡®To resolve your regrets, you must visit the Saint valley pharmacist lady in green.¡¯


    Therefore, the Mo family has been searching worldwide for traces of the mysterious Saint Valley Medicine for the past six months.


    Mo Qian¡¯s mood became a little gloomy at the mention of this. Perhaps Mo Qian had learned to hide his disappointment and regret because he had been disappointed too many times. After all, he had been disappointed too many times. After all, he had been disappointed too many times. He had also learned not to vent his anger on others because of this matter.


    He shook his head and slowly went away in his wheelchair. The wind brought his answer to him. ¡°Perhaps there is no Saint Valley Medicine in this world, let alone a green-robed apothecary.¡±


    Mo Xi followed behind Mo Qian in silence, not daring to go up and disturb him.


    Mo Xi felt sad for the young master in his heart. In the past hundred years, their Mo family had only produced such an outstanding family head, Mo Qian. However, the heavens were jealous of the talented and filled Mo Qian with all his talents. However, it still left him with a lifetime of unsolvable pain.


    Mo Xi took a deep breath and suddenly thought of the mysterious organization that Lan Ling had told him to study for the drunken dream drug. They could develop such a strange drug like a drunken dream. Was it possible that they knew something about Saint Valley Medicine?


    Thinking of this, Mo Xi even began to feel a little excited.


    The Mo family had paid a lot for Mo Qian¡¯s legs. As long as there was a slight possibility, they would not let it go.


    Mo Xi had a faint idea in his heart. He wanted to go and investigate it himself first. It would not be too late to tell the young master after he had some substantial clues.


    In this way, even if it were useless, the young master would not be sad and frustrated if he did not know.


    The Zhuang family.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian, who had just returned after a long while, and asked with a smile, ¡°Where did Xian¡¯er go today? Why did you leave for so long and not come back for lunch?¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled as she walked over and sat beside Lin En. She said, ¡°I was playing with a few friends, so I didn¡¯t check the time.¡±


    Zhuang Huai had been staying home to study the script all this time.


    He had just accepted a new movie and thought it was pretty interesting. He had been hiding in his room to read the script these days! He seemed bored and walked out of the room to get some fresh air.

 Chapter 79 - Third Brothers Script

    When he saw Lin En and Zhuang Xian cuddling in the living room, he curled his lips and asked Zhuang Xian, ¡°Little sister, who did you go out with? Why didn¡¯t you take me along?¡±


    As he spoke, he walked over to them with the script. He leaned back and sat on the comfortable sofa.


    Lin En looked at his younger son¡¯s sleepy face and chuckled, ¡°Third brother, did you put a tracker on your sister? Why did you come out of your room when Xian ¡®er had just arrived? Besides, I see that you don¡¯t even think of taking your sister along when you go out to play! How could you still have the cheek to say this?


    Zhuang Huai realized that his mother was getting increasingly into dicing him. She would find fault with anything he said.


    Sure enough, he was a treasure when a child first came home. He was a treasure. But after staying at home for a long time, he would annoy the parents!


    ¡°I was asking casually. Mom, what are you doing?¡± Zhuang Huai said with a bitter face.


    The corners of Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth curled up as she watched her mother and third brother talk. She sighed helplessly. In her previous life, why didn¡¯t she realize that her mother and third brother loved to bicker with each other?


    Zhuang Xian looked at the script in Zhuang Huai¡¯s hand and pretended to be curious. She was trying to interrupt him. ¡°Third brother, what are you holding?¡±


    Seeing that his sister was interested in his script, Zhuang Huai casually handed it to her and explained, ¡°It¡¯s a new movie script that I¡¯ve just received. I¡¯m still trying to figure out the characters!¡±


    Zhuang Xian took it and flipped through it casually. She continued to ask, ¡°When will the cameras start? Wasn¡¯t the third brother leaving? School is about to start again, is third brother going to retake leave?¡±


    Zhuang Huai raised his head to look at the light above him and said bitterly, ¡°What can I do? I have to continue filming, earn money, and be famous! Sigh, you guys won¡¯t understand the pain of a big star. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian rolled her eyes at her third brother¡¯s smug expression to express her speechlessness.


    Lin En accused with a smile, ¡°Stinky King! You¡¯ve only sung a few songs and taken on a few shows, and you¡¯re already calling yourself a big star. How shameless!¡±


    ¡°Mom! I¡¯m a big star, alright?¡± When Zhuang Huai heard this, he immediately sat up straight and protested. He didn¡¯t forget to turn around and pull in allies for himself as he spoke. ¡°You ask my sister if I¡¯m trendy! Some so many people like me! Right, little sister?¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and surrendered, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! My third brother is an international superstar, a top celebrity! Is this okay? But come to think of it, when are you guys going to start shooting?¡±


    After getting Zhuang Xian¡¯s approval, Zhuang Huai laughed out loud. He said proudly, ¡°It should be at the end of this month. The producer mentioned it to me. There are still some things to be settled on the female lead. It¡¯ll be faster if we can settle it.¡±


    Speaking of this female star he was about to act with, Zhuang Huai was a little disdainful and angry. He coldly said, ¡°There are so many rare things these days! We have a good script and director, and other actresses are all trying their best to get a role, but Lin Yi, this B-list flower vase actress, is always indifferent. She¡¯s trying to act like a big shot here. I¡¯d have kicked her away long ago if I were the director! What the hell is this?¡±


    When Lin En heard Zhuang Huai talk about the entertainment industry¡¯s gossip, he was in high spirits. Seeing that Zhuang Huai had stopped, she quickly asked, ¡°What happened after that? Can you be more specific? How is she acting like a big shot?¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at his mother¡¯s excited and gossipy face and immediately went to chat with her. Zhuang Xian looked at the two helplessly, curled her lips, and left.


    Her third brother, Zhuang Huai, might look humorous and na?ve on the surface, but he was a brilliant person.


    The fact that he could do so well in the entertainment industry proved that he had a quick mind and was very cautious in dealing with people. If Lin Yi could make him hate her so much, then he must have a lot of outstanding abilities.


    Zhuang Xian was not interested in the entertainment industry and went straight upstairs to her room. She planned to look at the medical book that her master had given her. When she was with Mo Qian today, Zhuang Xian realized that he was not unable to stand or walk.


    When they entered the elegant room on the second floor, the wooden ladder and wheelchair at the door could not enter. Maxi even helped him up and carried him in.


    Mo Qian could stand on his own, but he couldn¡¯t walk. His legs didn¡¯t seem to have abnormalities, which piqued Zhuang Xian¡¯s curiosity.

 Chapter 80 - The Heart of a Doctor

    In the eyes of Zhuang Xian¡¯s sect, any strange illness in the world had a cause and origin.


    Zhuang Xian had seen a similar case in the medical records before. Even though she currently did not understand Mo Qian¡¯s condition, nor did she know what his actual condition was!


    However, Zhuang Xian wanted to look at the medical records first. If possible, she might be able to help Mo Qian.


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s cooperation with the Mo family was gradually stabilizing. Wouldn¡¯t it be better if she could add some bricks and tiles to this cooperative relationship?


    After all, no matter how powerful Zhuang Xian was, she was only one person.


    And the Mo Corporation was a big family that had stood for a hundred years. The towering tree dominated City H. If this matter were done well, the Zhuang family, Mo Qian, and the Mo Corporation would be the benefactor of rebirth!


    In addition, the medicine of Saint Valley¡¯s motto was: ¡®A doctor should establish his heart for the heavens and earth, and his life for the people. A doctor has a benevolent heart. ¡±


    Even though Zhuang Xian was not a good person, she could do good deeds that were within her power and also profitable.


    Zhuang Xian hid in her room and read a book. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. In front of the things she liked and focused on, the passage of time seemed to have become unintentional.


    In the Zhuang family¡¯s first-floor Hall, Lin En was still very surprised by Mo Qian¡¯s sudden visit.


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t mention anything about President Mo coming over today. This kind of sudden attack was not something people could get used to! Even though Lin En complained in her heart, she still treated Mo Qian courteously.


    ¡°Mr. Mo, you¡¯re not here at the right time. Zhuang Ming is still at the office. Please wait for a while. I¡¯ll ask someone to ask him when he¡¯ll be back.¡± Lin En said with a faint smile. He turned sideways and ordered Auntie Jiang to pour Mo Qian some tea. She then went to get the Butler to call Zhuang Ming.


    Mo Qian gently waved his hand and explained to Lin En, ¡°I¡¯m not here to look for President Zhuang today. Mrs. Zhuang, you don¡¯t have to be in such a hurry to call President Zhuang back.¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Lin En asked, stunned. Then who is President Mo looking for?¡±


    Mo Xi stepped out from behind Mo Qian and explained to Lin En with a smile, ¡°We¡¯re here today to look for the fourth miss. At the banquet last time, it was all thanks to Fourth miss¡¯s help that she helped our young master solve many problems. That day, the fourth miss even accidentally lost something significant. We sent people to look for it at home for a long time before we found it. Today, we¡¯re bringing it to Fourth miss. On the other hand, we also want to express our young master¡¯s gratitude to Fourth miss!¡±


    Mo Xi¡¯s words made Lin En a little confused.


    Wasn¡¯t she there at the party? How come she didn¡¯t know so many things had happened at that time?


    ¡°Did Xian ¡®er lose something? Why didn¡¯t she mention it to us?¡± Lin en frowned slightly and asked in confusion.


    Mo Qian looked at Lin En and smiled politely. ¡°Fourth miss is a sensible girl. She didn¡¯t want Mrs. Zhuang and President Zhuang to worry!¡±


    Lin En saw that Mo Qian did not seem to be faking it and nodded in understanding. ¡°Please wait a moment, President Mo. I¡¯ll go upstairs and get Xian ¡®er.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Mo Qian nodded and replied with a smile.


    Lin En led Zhuang Xian down from the second floor. When she saw mo Qian sitting in the living room, her big eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.


    During lunch, Mo Qian did say that he would get someone to send the documents over to Zhuang Xian, but he did not say that he would personally send them over!


    He even came up with such a strange excuse to trick Lin En. When Lin En asked Zhuang Xian about it, she was dumbfounded. If it weren¡¯t for her quick-witted brain, Mo Qian would have already exposed her.


    ¡°Why did you come here personally?¡± Zhuang Xian frowned and asked in confusion.


    Mo Qian looked at her gently. After a long while, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve given it some thought, and I think it¡¯s more sincere to deliver it personally. After all, this is the first thing I promised you!¡±


    He made up a random excuse. He just wanted to come and see Zhuang Xian. Besides, it had been long since he had eaten Zhuang Xian¡¯s desserts.


    When he came over, he had already calculated the time for the Zhuang family¡¯s meal when he came over. No matter what, he had to get his dinner first. The man thought with a sour taste.


    Zhuang Xian was speechless. She looked at Mo Qian as if he was an idiot and said, ¡°Boss Mo, you¡¯re free!¡±


    1


    It was just a matter of asking his subordinates to make the trip, but he, the dignified President Mo, had to make it personal!


    If outsiders were to find out about this, they would probably think that he, Mo Qian, had given the Zhuang family some incredible treasure.

 Chapter 81 - The Invitation

    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s lively and honest expression, and a smile slowly formed on his lips. He could even see a hint of disdain and contempt in Zhuang Xian¡¯s bright eyes!


    But even so, Mo Qian was not angry. Instead, he was a little happy.


    In the past, when he met Zhuang Xian, her attitude towards him was polite and distant. They were just strangers who had met a few times. But not long ago, their relationship seemed to have changed. From time to time, Mo Qian could see her playful side in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. It was lively and lovely.


    Mo Qian felt that this improvement was excellent. If he wanted to get Zhuang Xian, he had to do it step by step!


    Zhuang Xian was still young, and it was too early to say anything else. Mo Qian was not in a hurry. He just wanted to keep an eye on her. The best situation would be to keep her within the range of his domain.


    When Lin En heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s disrespectful words towards Mo Qian, she looked at her disapprovingly and pretended to be serious, ¡°President Mo was just kind enough to return the things to you. Xian ¡®er, you can¡¯t be so rude!¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled at Lin En indifferently and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve been busy with work for the past few days, so I¡¯d like to have a good rest for the next few days. ¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian, his beautiful Phoenix eyes filled with a gentle smile. ¡°Zhuang Xian has just arrived in City H not long ago. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve had any fun around here, right? The hibiscus mutabilis in my suburbs, Manor, has been open these days, and it¡¯s much cooler and more comfortable there than in the city. There are also many fun projects in the newly opened large-scale amusement park. Fourth miss, are you interested in coming with me to play for a few days?¡±


    Hearing this, Lin En was stunned, and some doubts and puzzlement flashed through her mind.


    Seeing the gentle look in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes as he looked at Zhuang Xian, Lin En slowly realized. Was Mo Qian trying to court her Xian ¡®er?


    Their Zhuang Xian would only be 17 years old at the end of this month! Even if Mo Qian had feelings for Xian ¡®er, wasn¡¯t he being too impatient? Lin En frowned and thought in disagreement.


    In Lin en¡¯s heart, Mo Qian¡¯s goal was too obvious.


    However, Mo Qian seemed to be able to read people¡¯s minds. Before Lin En and Zhuang Xian could reject or refute him, Mo Qian explained, ¡°Mrs. Zhuang, don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯ve just invested in a new theme park, and it¡¯s about to open for business. I want to get someone to go over and warm up the place! Many people will be with us so the trip will be very safe. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Lin En did not know how to answer him.


    Mo Qian¡¯s reason for the invitation sounded a little far-fetched. However, seeing Mo Qian¡¯s profound explanation and invitation, Lin En couldn¡¯t reject it outrightly. She had to give Mo Qian a face no matter what.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±


    ¡°Boss mo, are you talking about the large-scale theme park in the suburbs?¡± Zhuang Huai walked down from the second floor, his eyes shining with excitement. ¡°Oh my God! So it was you who invested in it, Boss Mo? We¡¯ve always wanted to go to that place to obtain scenery for our movie shooting! Yesterday, our director was crying to me on the phone, saying he couldn¡¯t contact the person in charge. Isn¡¯t this a coincidence?¡±


    And Zhuang Xian¡¯s faint ¡®I¡¯m not going had been suppressed by her third brother¡¯s high-pitched voice, so Lin En did not hear it.


    Mo Qian heard her. He smiled and glanced at her, then turned to Zhuang Huai and said, ¡°About renting the scene, you can directly let your crew discuss it with Mo Xi. These are small matters.¡±


    Before Zhuang Huai could finish his sentence, Mo Qian had already made the necessary arrangements for him. He had given Zhuang Huai enough face.


    ¡°Really? Thank you so much, President Mo. I¡¯ll thank you on behalf of our director!¡± As Zhuang Huai spoke, his eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Mo Qian. As if he had thought of something, he restrained his joy and asked tentatively, ¡°But your amusement park hasn¡¯t officially opened yet. It¡¯s not good to rent it to us first.¡±


    Some businessmen who paid attention to rules and taboos would not do such a thing.


    They felt that others couldn¡¯t use the newly opened storefronts and shops before they were open for business as it would damage the fortune of the venue!


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t mind those things. They haven¡¯t officially opened for business yet, so I thought it would be better if more people existed. Just treat it as a warm-up for me.¡± Mo Qian said with a chuckle.

 Chapter 82 - Decision to Travel

    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s unconcerned expression, Zhuang Huai couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The Mo Corporation was truly rich and overbearing!


    Mo Qian probably wouldn¡¯t care about a project and investment of this level. It seemed that people with real money and ability wouldn¡¯t care about so many things.


    Zhuang Huai was also pleased that he had helped the production team solve such a big problem. He looked at Mo Qian and smiled, ¡°President Mo, did you just want to invite our sister out to play?¡±


    Mo Qian lowered his brows and chuckled, ¡°Yes, but Fourth miss doesn¡¯t seem very interested. What a pity.¡± Mo Qian¡¯s expression was smiling, but Zhuang Huai could see the disappointment and regret in his eyes.


    Zhuang Huai was speechless.


    Zhuang Huai turned around to look at Zhuang Xian, and some thoughts flashed through his mind. He pulled Zhuang Xian over and whispered to her, ¡°Good sister, help big brother this time! Let¡¯s give your brother and Boss Mo some face and have fun together for a few days! As long as you go, I¡¯ll agree to one request of yours, okay?¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian only looked at him indifferently without saying a word, Zhuang Huai became a little anxious. Since Mo Qian had agreed to help so readily, he had to think of a way to repay him! He wasn¡¯t the kind of person who didn¡¯t understand the world¡¯s ways.


    Since Mo Qian wanted to invite his sister over to have fun, so be it. They were all young, so what was the problem with having fun together?


    1


    He had heard that there was an imposing racing track there! Furthermore, with him by Zhuang Xian¡¯s side, what could happen?


    Even if Mo Qian¡¯s intentions were not pure, he would have to get past him first.


    ¡°Sister, I¡¯m begging you. President Mo agreed to help me without a second thought. I can¡¯t be so insensible! We should return the favor, right?¡± Zhuang Huai tugged on Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist, his back facing Mo Qian and Lin En as he pleaded with her in a low voice. His submissive appearance made him look rather pitiful.


    Lin En knew his son¡¯s personality very well. She shook her head helplessly.


    However, Mo Qian was right about one thing. Xian ¡®er had never really gone out to play. It was time for her to go out and relax. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be able to attend school when school reopened.


    Lin En poured Mo Qian a glass of water and said warmly, ¡°Thank you, President Mo, for taking care of Zhuang Huai. Xian ¡®er will be reporting to school soon, so it¡¯s good to take this time to go out and relax!¡±


    As Lin En spoke, she saved her precious daughter from Zhuang Huai¡¯s hands. She looked at her and gently said, ¡°Go! It just so happens that your third brother is here this time, so let him take you around to play for a few days. When school starts, you won¡¯t have so much time to play!¡±


    Hearing Lin En¡¯s words, Zhuang Huai, nodded in agreement and looked at Zhuang Xian. ¡°That¡¯s right, little sister! Mom is right.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him and said calmly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you haven¡¯t settled on the actress you¡¯ll be acting with? It had only been a few hours, and it had already been resolved. Have you set the starting time for the filming?¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s question, Zhuang Huai sighed and explained, ¡°Yup! It had already been resolved. Can you believe that it¡¯s such a coincidence? Lin Yi had replied to the director in the afternoon that she would be able to start shooting in a few days! And I just happened to ask about Mr. Mo¡¯s amusement park on their behalf ¡­¡±


    When Zhuang Huai grabbed Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist and begged her to go, Zhuang Xian had already started to compromise.


    She did not think that Mo Qian¡¯s invitation was as complicated as Lin En and Zhuang Huai thought. She did not want to go!


    What amusement park? She wasn¡¯t a three-year-old child who wanted to ride a merry-go-round or a bumper car!


    Zhuang Xian, who had never been to a large-scale adult amusement park, naturally thought that the amusement park Mo Qian was talking about was a children¡¯s amusement park!


    And this misunderstanding was slowly resolved after Zhuang Xian came to that place and saw the actual scene.


    Zhuang Xian could not reject her mother and her third brother in her heart. After sighing slightly, she nodded and agreed, ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll go. ¡±


    1


    Zhuang Huai happily pinched Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face. ¡°You¡¯re such a good girl.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian saw Mo Qian sitting at the side with a faint smile, a strange feeling rose in her heart. Could this man have tricked her?


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows and looked at Mo Qian coldly. She realized Mo Qian¡¯s attitude towards her was getting stranger and stranger. Today, it was bizarre!


    The time she had spent with Mo Qian today had exceeded all the times they had met before!

 Chapter 83 - Dinner

    Seeing that his sister had nodded in agreement, Zhuang Huai and Mo Qian¡¯s tones became more relaxed. ¡°It¡¯s already so late. My father and second brother should be back soon.¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at Mo Qian and politely said, ¡°If President mo doesn¡¯t mind, why don¡¯t you stay and have a simple meal together?¡±


    Mo Qian had been waiting for this sentence. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows without a change in expression and replied with a chuckle, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll accept your invitation. I¡¯ve been hearing Director Zhuang praise Zhuang Xian¡¯s cooking skills. I wonder if I¡¯ll have the good fortune to eat it today.¡±


    Mo Xi stood behind his young master, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. Their young master was too accurate.


    Seeing that Zhuang Huai and Mo Qian had started chatting, Lin En pulled Zhuang Xian away with a dark expression.


    Zhuang Xian took the file from Mo Xi and followed Lin En. When they reached the room door on the second floor, she looked at her mother¡¯s back and asked worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, mom?¡±


    Lin En turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian, a hint of worry in her eyes. Seeing her precious daughter¡¯s confused expression, Lin En swallowed her words and smiled at her. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Go and put your things away. We can start eating when your father and second brother come back.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En in confusion, then slowly walked into the room.


    She threw the file next to the computer and thought with a frown, ¡°Her mother had something to say to her, but why didn¡¯t she say it when it was just at the tip of her tongue?


    Before Zhuang Xian could open the bag that Mo Xi had given her, she was called downstairs by the servants for dinner.


    Because of Mo Qian¡¯s presence at the Zhuang family¡¯s dinner, they didn¡¯t have their usual relaxation and carefreeness, except for Zhuang Ming.


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s seat was very close to Mo Qian¡¯s. He smiled and said to Mo Qian, ¡°I heard from the person in charge of the project that President Mo is taking a break today. I thought I would have to wait until next Monday to see President Mo! I didn¡¯t expect President Mo to come over. It¡¯s an honor!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s face was flushed red, and he looked extremely excited!


    Mo Qian looked up at Zhuang Ming and replied with a chuckle, ¡°President Zhuang, why are you still so polite? If you continue to say such things, I won¡¯t dare to come to your house anymore.¡±


    ¡°Ai! What are you saying, President Mo? The Zhuang family¡¯s door will always be open to you, CEO Mo.¡± Zhuang Ming was still pretending to be angry at the first sentence, his eyes full of disapproval. Still, the second sentence directly made him laugh out loud. He felt as if he had said something funny.


    Lin En looked at the drunk Zhuang Ming and said to Mo Qian apologetically, ¡°President mo, please don¡¯t take offense. Zhuang Ming is a little drunk.¡±


    Zhuang Ming quickly grabbed Lin En¡¯s hand and pretended to be angry. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense. How am I drunk? I am very clear-headed! Those old men today were all made drunk by me. Even Zhuang Hang can¡¯t compare to me. ¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Lin En with a smug look.


    Lin En ignored him. After thinking for a while, he restrained his smugness and clamor and said, ¡°Alright, I understand. Old rules! I¡¯ll go back to my room and sleep! Don¡¯t be angry. You won¡¯t look good if you¡¯re angry!¡±


    Lin En slapped away Zhuang Ming¡¯s hand that was about to touch her. With a calm expression, she looked at Zhuang Huai and said, ¡°Third, brother! Entertain President Mo well. I¡¯ll send your father back to his room. ¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Mo Qian and said apologetically, ¡°President Mo, please sit for a while. I¡¯ll help this drunkard upstairs first!¡±


    Mo Qian smiled and comforted her. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Mrs. Zhuang. You can take care of President Zhuang first. I¡¯ll do as I please.¡±


    Lin En nodded, and with Zhuang Hang, they helped Zhuang Ming up and left.


    Zhuang Huai helplessly looked at his father and smiled apologetically at Mo Qian, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to let you see this, President Mo. It seems that my dad¡¯s drinking today has a strong after-effect.¡±


    Mo Qian also looked at them, nodding and smiling, ¡°I can understand. Chief Zhuang¡¯s alcohol tolerance is already excellent.¡±


    ¡°Yup! In front of my mom, my dad wouldn¡¯t dare to act rashly even if he was drunk!¡± Zhuang Huai said as he smiled helplessly.


    Mo Qian turned his head to look at Zhuang Xian and noticed her eyes were filled with a weak smile. She looked hot.


    The sight of Zhuang Xian entranced Mo Qian. His heart felt warm. The love between Zhuang Ming and Lin En was enviable.


    ¡°President Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang are so close.¡± Mo Qian mumbled in his calm voice, his tone hiding a lot of unknown feelings.

 Chapter 84 - Believe in me

    When Zhuang Xian heard Mo Qian¡¯s slightly dejected words, she tilted her head slightly to look at him. Mo Qian did not expect their eyes to meet so suddenly. He immediately retracted the indifference in his eyes and flashed a gentle smile at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.


    1


    Perhaps it was because Mo Qian¡¯s gaze was too gentle and his smile too clean, Zhuang Xian¡¯s dazed reaction lasted a long time.


    There weren¡¯t many people in the living room, and the atmosphere was too quiet. When Zhuang Huai turned around, he saw Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian looking at each other.


    There was a strange awkwardness between them, and Zhuang Huai felt he couldn¡¯t get in.


    He coughed lightly and called back the slightly dazed Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and glanced at Zhuang Huai before lowering her head to eat quietly.


    The remaining three people at the table seemed to have fallen silent. Mo Qian also did not say anything and just ate quietly.


    Zhuang Huai, who was left behind, didn¡¯t understand the situation and felt that the situation was a little awkward.


    After dinner, Mo Qian bid farewell to the Zhuang family and even specially requested for Zhuang Xian to send him to the main entrance.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian speechlessly. She felt that this man might have his eyes on her. If he wanted to give her something, so be it. She wanted to see what Mo Qian was up to.


    The night breeze was slightly chilly. Mo Qian lifted his head to look at Zhuang Xian and smiled, ¡± I¡¯ll get Mo Xi to pick you up.¡±


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows and looked at Mo Qian. She lowered her voice and asked, ¡°What do you want to do? Are you forcing me to go to your amusement park? Are you pretending we¡¯re close again in front of my mom?¡±


    Mo Qian also knew that some things could not be done in haste. He was already delighted with today¡¯s progress. Hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s unhappy and doubtful words, he smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to do anything. I want to treat my Savior a little better! Don¡¯t you like racing? I think you¡¯ll also like those exciting things.¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful brows were still tightly knitted, Mo Qian¡¯s smile deepened.


    He said helplessly, ¡°I promise I won¡¯t do anything to you, don¡¯t worry! Also, I¡¯ve kept my mouth shut, so you don¡¯t have to worry that I¡¯ll reveal your secret, and you don¡¯t have to be so guarded against me! Don¡¯t I still owe you three wishes? Don¡¯t you forget?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re an extraordinary person.¡± Zhuang Xian realized that she couldn¡¯t understand Mo Qian, so she said bluntly, ¡°I¡¯ll remember it. I won¡¯t forget.¡±


    She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s gentle smile and suddenly had a bad idea.


    She cleared her throat and said naughtily, ¡°You¡¯re so anxious to fulfill my wish. Aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll trick you? For example, if I make a wish for your Mo family¡¯s property, will you fulfill it for me?¡±


    After Zhuang Xian finished speaking, she looked at Mo Qian curiously and playfully, anticipating his reply. Could it be that he was going to give her the Mo Corporation? He was teasing her.


    ¡°Why not? The kindness of saving my life is as heavy as a mountain!¡± Mo Qian said calmly with a smile in his eyes.


    Those amorous Phoenix eyes continued to look at Zhuang Xian lovingly. ¡°As long as you want it, I can bring down the moon from the sky for you. Do you believe that?¡±


    If any other man were to say the last sentence, Zhuang Xian would only feel that it was greasy and speechless. She would probably roll her eyes at him and use her words to kill him!


    However, now that it was Mo Qian¡¯s turn, Zhuang Xian still felt something was amiss. However, she did not doubt the authenticity of Mo Qian¡¯s words. Perhaps, he really could do so?


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and chuckled at Mo Qian, ¡°Boss Mo, you¡¯re so funny. Why would I want the moon?¡±


    ¡°Who knows? I¡¯m just making an analogy.¡± Mo Qian shrugged his shoulders and smiled as he explained in a gentle voice.


    Zhuang Xian stared at Mo Qian for a long while before sighing.


    Looking at the relationship between Ming ¡®En Corporation and Mo Corporation, there would only be more and more opportunities for her family to interact with Mo Qian in the future. She couldn¡¯t hide from him.


    To make her future interactions with Mo Qian more relaxed and not have to worry about Mo Qian leaking her secret to others, Zhuang Xian had no choice but to trust Mo Qian for the time being.


    However, Zhuang Xian still wanted to protect herself from Mo Qian. She looked at Mo Qian severely and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re so sincere, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I¡¯ll make my first request to you now.¡±

 Chapter 85 - An Oath

    Mo Qian raised his handsome brows and replied with great interest, ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡±


    Zhuang Xian took a step closer to Mo Qian and said in a deep voice, ¡°I want President Mo to swear that no matter what happens in the future, you can¡¯t reveal my identity to anyone without my permission! Can you do it?¡±


    Mo Qian raised his head slightly and looked at the girl approaching him. A gentle breeze blew past her hair, and Mo Qian seemed to be able to smell the fresh scent on her body.


    The bright moonlight flowed behind her as if it had covered her with a layer of silver armor. She was a warrior of the Moon Palace, beautiful but cold.


    ¡°Your first wish is this?¡± Mo Qian asked her softly. The gentleness in his eyes was like the moonlight, gentle and quiet.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s body moved back a little, and she nodded calmly. ¡°Yes.¡±


    Mo Qian suddenly laughed, ¡°I¡¯ve already promised you this. You still want to waste another wish to make me promise you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her original position and looked at him expressionlessly, not saying a word.


    Mo Qian helplessly raised his right hand and made an oath gesture, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian.


    He said thoughtfully, ¡°I, Mo Qian, swear to the heavens today that I will never betray Zhuang Xian no matter what happens in the future. If I go back on my word, I will be abandoned by all!¡±


    ¡°Is this okay?¡± Mo Qian put down his hand and smiled at Zhuang Xian. He looked so calm, as if the person who had just made the oath was not him but someone else.


    Zhuang Xian was shocked by the seriousness in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes. After she regained her senses, she nodded lightly and thought, ¡°Not betraying her and not revealing her secret, these two statements were similar. Forget it. Let it be!


    ¡°Alright, you can go.¡± Zhuang Xian said calmly.


    Mo Qian smiled bitterly, ¡°You¡¯re heartless. The speed at which you turn your back on me is shocking. You¡¯re just driving me away?¡±


    ¡°What else? Does CEO Mo want to spend the night at our Zhuang family¡¯s entrance?¡± The corner of Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth twitched as she looked at Mo Qian naughtily. ¡°I don¡¯t mind. President Mo, please help yourself!¡±


    As she spoke, she put her hands in her pockets and wanted to leave.


    Mo Qian realized that he could not do anything to this little girl. He called out to Zhuang Xian, ¡°One last thing to remind you, that manager in your racing Alliance doesn¡¯t seem to be a tight-lipped person and isn¡¯t very capable either. You have to keep an eye on him.¡±


    Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Mo Qian. After a while, she nodded and said,¡± I know, thank you.¡±


    Mo Qian and Wang yang had no grudges in the past or present. Naturally, he would not say bad things about him for no reason. He must have noticed Wang Yang¡¯s problems at a glance and warned her. As Zhuang Xian thought of this, she felt Mo Qian¡¯s observation skills were astonishing.


    This should be his first time meeting Wang Yang, but he could see through Wang Yang so thoroughly! He was indeed worthy of being the famous head of the Mo family.


    It wasn¡¯t that Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know Wang Yang¡¯s problem. He was indecisive, submissive, and soft-spoken, so he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to control his team members!


    If the captain continued like this, something would happen.


    It was just that Zhuang Xian did not have any more suitable talents in her hands. Otherwise, she would have fired Wang Yang when he failed to restrain the mad scientist the last time!


    ¡°I¡¯m also worried!¡± After Zhuang Xian returned to her room, she sat in front of her computer and muttered to herself.


    When she saw the new file next to the computer, Zhuang Xian massaged her tired eyebrows and reached out to take it.


    Mo Xi¡¯s working ability was excellent. He squeezed out all the information that Lan Ling knew. This information was complete and detailed about how Lan Ling bought a drunken dream!


    After a long while, Zhuang Xian held the paper in her hand and mumbled to herself with a frown, ¡°Bite Soul? The people from the Soul Devouring Bureau? How did Lan Ling get involved with these people? Since when did the Soul Devouring Bureau have an apothecary who could make medicine? This is too strange!¡±


    Zhuang Xian carefully looked at the photo of the reagent tube printed on the A4 paper. The tube even had the secret symbol of the Soul Devouring Bureau. It would be impossible to recognize if it was not someone in her industry.


    Zhuang Xian thought about it and felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed!


    Thinking about it, the benefits of other pharmacists might be involved.


    Someone had ignored the rules of the pharmaceutical industry and secretly made black medicine for huge profits, harming the health and even the lives of ordinary people. As the leader of the entire pharmaceutical industry, Saint Valley Medicine would not allow such a thing to happen!

 Chapter 86 - Master

    Zhuang Xian had a bad feeling about this. She picked up her phone and called her master from Saint Valley Medicine.


    The phone rang for a long time before someone took it.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to the familiar voice, she smiled.¡± Master Yan! It¡¯s me, Xian¡¯ er! Did you forget how to answer the phone again?¡±


    Yan Zhou held the smartphone in his hand and stiffly put it to his ear. He shouted, ¡°Xian¡¯ er! What¡¯s the matter? Why are you calling so late?¡±


    The valley master of Saint Valley Medicine, Yan Zhou, was over 70 years old. He was not very good at using modern smartphones. Fortunately, his eldest disciple was with him tonight. Otherwise, Zhuang Xian would have missed her master again!


    It was indeed time for the old man to sleep.


    Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly and whispered to Yan Zhou, ¡°Can¡¯t I just call you because I miss you?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Do you think I don¡¯t know you? Based on your personality of not coming to the temple for no reason, you¡¯re usually like a closed gourd that you can¡¯t even get a fart out of! If you¡¯re fine, would you remember to call me?¡± The old man¡¯s voice was angry, and his white beard trembled.


    ¡°Hmph! I think you¡¯ve completely forgotten about me, your master because you have that old man from the Li family and your parents from the Zhuang family by your side!¡± Yan Zhou finally vomited out all his grievances.


    He had to admit that he was indeed jealous! Since Zhuang Xian returned to the Zhuang family, he had not seen her for almost two months. Naturally, he was furious!


    Hearing master Yan Zhou¡¯s arrogant and angry voice, Zhuang Xian smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Am I that unfilial in your heart? I¡¯ve also called you many times, so please don¡¯t frame me! I even asked senior brother to bring you a lot of tea leaves and delicious food! You didn¡¯t receive it?¡±


    Yan Zhou thought of his full tea cabinet and swallowed uncomfortably. He felt a little guilty for taking something short!


    ¡°Who wants your tea leaves?¡± he hurriedly interrupted. I didn¡¯t ask you for it. You were the one who willingly offered it to me! You can just come back to see me more often! I didn¡¯t see you and couldn¡¯t even say a few words to you?¡±


    Yan Zuo was kneeling beside Yan Zhou, reading a medical book. He shook his head helplessly and raised the corner of his book to hide his snickering.


    However, Yan Zhou still saw it. He glared at him and said, ¡°What are you laughing at, you little brat? Shut your mouth!¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t need to guess to know that senior Yan Zuo had been scolded by her master again.


    She chuckled and coaxed him with a warm voice, ¡°Alright, master! When it¡¯s your birthday, I¡¯ll come back to celebrate it with you! Is that okay? Don¡¯t scold my senior brother.¡±


    When Yan Zuo heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice on the phone, he pursed his lips in relief and said, ¡°Junior Sister is the best. However, you¡¯re still calling so late at night. Is there something wrong?¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled. ¡°I really can¡¯t hide anything from you, senior! I do have something important to report to master!¡±


    Zhuang Xian concentrated and told her master and senior brother about the soul-devouring Bureau and drunken dream in full detail while also expressing her worries and doubts.


    After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s report, Yan Zhou¡¯s expression became serious.


    He was silent for a while before he said to Zhuang Xian in a low voice, ¡°I know about this! Don¡¯t beat the grass, and alert the snake. Follow the clues slowly and see if you can find anything else. After a few days, I will ask your senior brother to come and help you.¡±


    Yan Zhou knew how brilliant this genius female disciple was, so he wasn¡¯t worried about her.


    He was more worried that Zhuang Xian¡¯s words would come true.


    This group of people dared to sell a potion of such a high level like drunken dream in the open. They were too arrogant. They had already treated the rules and order acknowledged by the entire pharmaceutical industry as air!


    ¡°Junior sister¡¯s concerns are very reasonable. Saint Valley Medicine can not ignore this matter! We have to investigate carefully, seriously!¡± Yan Zuo¡¯s brows were cold as he sternly said.


    No one could violate the dignity of Saint Valley Medicine!


    Zhuang Xian understood their meaning by listening to her master and senior brother¡¯s words. She nodded slightly and said to Yan Zhou on the other end of the phone, ¡°I understand, master. I will continue to investigate!¡±


    Yan Zhou said warmly, ¡°Yes, be careful.¡±

 Chapter 87 - The Opening Ceremony

    The night was slightly cold, and the black Maybach that drove through Dingcheng District looked like a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the dark.


    Mo Qian closed his eyes and leaned back in the carriage chair. In a low voice, he said to Mo Xi, ¡°Go and try to find Zhuang Huai¡¯s crew tomorrow. Don¡¯t push the rent too hard.¡±


    Looking at the young master¡¯s tired appearance, Mo Xi replied in a deep voice, ¡°Yes, young master. I¡¯ll get it done tomorrow morning.¡±


    Mo Xi thought for a moment but still couldn¡¯t hold back his curiosity and asked, ¡°Young master, why do you think the fourth miss is so concerned about the source of the drug? I saw Lan Ling¡¯s confession. There¡¯s nothing special about it. Those are just some people who sell black medicine!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian opened his eyes. In the dimly lit rear compartment, his deep voice came, ¡°Drunken dreams are very different from ordinary low-level knockout drugs. It¡¯s colorless and tasteless ¡­¡±


    At this point, Mo Qian suddenly paused. He realized that he was not right. The drunken dream was not tasteless. At least Zhuang Xian could smell its scent.


    ¡°It¡¯s more advanced in its usage. It absorbs Medicinal properties through the skin. How could this be an ordinary potion? Zhuang Xian has her reasons for being interested. You don¡¯t have to ask so much. Just do what I¡¯ve told you to do.¡± Mo Qian was only dazed for a moment, but he immediately returned to his senses and said coldly.


    Mo Xi lowered his head and didn¡¯t dare to ask anything more.


    He followed Mo Qian¡¯s orders to investigate what happened to Zhuang Xian three years ago. However, he had met a lot of resistance and trouble and could not make reasonable progress.


    Although Mo Qian didn¡¯t say anything, Mo Xi felt he had let down the young master¡¯s trust, so he was in low spirits.


    ¡°Before things are clear, you have to look after Lan Ling. Don¡¯t let her die easily.¡± Mo Qian seemed to be able to sense Mo Xi¡¯s mental activity. He knew what Mo Xi was feeling guilty about, so he gave a faint reminder.


    Although Lan Ling was a useless chess piece now, she couldn¡¯t die before the truth of the past was discovered.


    Mo Qian read Lan Ling¡¯s account of the ring¡¯s origin and only felt ridiculous and irritable. Lan Ling might not be lying, but who gave her a ring still needed to be investigated.


    Mo Qian felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.


    The movie that Zhuang Huai was starring in officially started shooting three days later at the Mo Corporation¡¯s International Entertainment City. At the grand and imposing Entertainment City entrance, Zhuang Huai saw the Lin Yi he hated.


    Although Zhuang Huai was the biggest shot in the crew, he couldn¡¯t compare to Lin Yi in grandeur!


    The vain and arrogant Lin Yi had turned such a simple opening ceremony into a red carpet. Zhuang Huai sat beside Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian and rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was met with Zhuang Xian¡¯s cold eyes when he turned around.


    Zhuang Huai, who was in the wrong, didn¡¯t dare to meet his sister¡¯s eyes and slowly looked away.


    He knew he was wrong. He shouldn¡¯t have dragged his sister over to watch the opening ceremony. He had let his sister bask in the sun with him for so long and had to watch a particular exaggerated female celebrity perform a spectacle!


    Mo Qian sat beside Zhuang Xian and chuckled as he looked at the Zhuang siblings, silently bickering. Zhuang Xian¡¯s earlier rolling of her eyes was very lively.


    ¡°The director is calling for us. I¡¯ll head over first, sister!¡± Zhuang Huai said as he strode over.


    Zhuang Xian looked at his back and let out a deep breath. She had already been sitting here for two hours, enduring the high temperature outside. She had wasted two hours!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s stomach was growling with hunger. If it weren¡¯t for Zhuang Huai¡¯s insistence on dragging her to watch the opening ceremony, she would probably be having her lunch somewhere.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll end anytime soon. Why don¡¯t we go for lunch first? I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to see.¡± Mo Qian heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s stomach growling and suggested with a doting smile.


    Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at Mo Qian. This was the first time she realized that this man was so understanding. ¡°I think so too. Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Mo Qian smiled faintly and raised his hand to signal for Mo Xi to drive the car here to pick them up. The temperature today was frighteningly high.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s not completely open to the public, the testing and improvement work has been done. We can go in and have some fun after lunch.¡± Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s lazy expression, Mo Qian tried to attract her attention with his warm voice.


    Zhuang Xian raised the fan in her hand and blew it to her face. She nodded calmly as if she was not in a good mood.

 Chapter 88 - Really Noisy

    ¡°Heavens! It¡¯s you, President Mo! I was watching from afar, and I thought I was mistaken. What a coincidence! You¡¯re here to ¡­¡±


    A sweet voice suddenly came from the right side of Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian. Then, Lin Yi¡¯s bright red dress entered Zhuang Xian¡¯s line of sight.


    Smelling the disgusting perfume, Zhuang Xian looked up at Lin Yi impatiently and reminded her coldly, ¡°Can you not get so close? It¡¯s hot!¡±


    Before Lin Yi could express her excitement at seeing Mo Qian, she was interrupted by Zhuang Xian.


    She lowered her head and looked at Zhuang Xian on the beach chair. Her eyes lit up as if she was surprised by Zhuang Xian¡¯s delicate face. However, she quickly regained her senses and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m just greeting President Mo. What¡¯s it got to do with you? You¡¯re such a busybody!¡±


    As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at Zhuang Xian. When she turned to look at Mo Qian, her face became kind and gentle again. ¡°President Mo, what are you doing here? Are they here to invest in our movie? But why didn¡¯t I hear Boss Ma mention it before?¡±


    Mo Qian frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Yi, standing two steps away. He asked indifferently, ¡°Who are you? Have we met before?¡±


    Lin Yi was stunned and froze.


    She didn¡¯t expect Mo Qian not to remember her. After all, Boss Ma had brought her to greet Mo Qian at a cocktail party!


    Lin Yi had always been confident in her beauty. She believed that no man would forget her after seeing her. Mo Qian was the first.


    The atmosphere was utterly awkward. Of course, the only one who felt awkward was Lin Yi, an outsider.


    Lin Yi¡¯s assistant walked over and noticed her awkwardness. She said tremblingly, ¡°Sister Yiyi, the director is calling for people. Why don¡¯t we go over it first? We¡¯re going to get scolded again.¡±


    As if she had found a punching bag, Lin Yi glared at the assistant coldly, ¡°If you want to call people, then call people! Would it kill them to wait a little longer? The most important thing is that I talk to President Mo! Don¡¯t be so annoying!¡±


    The assistant seemed to be used to being scolded. Hearing this, she shrank her neck and didn¡¯t dare to say another word.


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows and looked at Lin Yi coldly. ¡°You¡¯re so noisy.¡±


    ¡°What did you say? Me?¡± Lin Yi looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise as if she had just heard a ridiculous argument. She flicked her long hair arrogantly and rudely, ¡°Do you know who I am? I¡¯m Lin Yi! You are still wet behind the ears. Do you dare to call me noisy? I think you don¡¯t want to live ¡­¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s expression turned cold as he looked at this noisy and stupid woman. When he heard Lin Yi¡¯s arrogant words toward Zhuang Xian, he immediately rebuked sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t be so noisy here! Get lost. ¡±


    Lin Yi was so frightened by Mo Qian¡¯s cold and stern aura that she trembled, involuntarily taking two steps back.


    She glanced at Mo Qian, standing up for Zhuang Xian, and then turned to look at the expressionless Zhuang Xian. Her pretty but useless brain was finally starting to work.


    ¡°You¡¯re President Mo¡¯s female companion?¡± Lin Yi¡¯s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Zhuang Xian.


    Otherwise, why would Mo Qian protect her?


    When she saw Zhuang Xian from afar, she guessed that she was Mo Qian¡¯s assistant. After all, there was no one else besides Mo Qian just now.


    It wasn¡¯t unreasonable for Lin Yi to admit her mistake. Zhuang Xian¡¯s outfit today was simple and refreshing for comfort and coolness. She didn¡¯t look like a lady from a wealthy family.


    Zhuang Xian was highly annoyed. Just as she was about to get up and scold, Zhuang Huai rushed over from behind.


    ¡°Lin Yi, are you deaf, or are you out of your mind?¡± he asked coldly as he walked. ¡°The entire crew is waiting for you under the hot sun, but you¡¯re wasting time here. What do you want? If you don¡¯t want to film, then get lost. There¡¯s no boss Ma here to spoil you!¡±


    A group of people followed Zhuang Huai from the film crew. The producer needed to ensure that the entire film crew went on smoothly. When he saw Zhuang Huai walking over aggressively, he had a bad premonition and quickly followed.


    Just as he had expected, Zhuang Huai was going up against Lin Yi!


    He quickly squeezed out from the crowd and tried to smooth things over. ¡°The distance between the two sides is a little far, so Lin Yi can¡¯t hear me, understandably! Let¡¯s hurry over. After we¡¯re done here, there¡¯s still a script to read at night, so let¡¯s no longer delay!¡±

 Chapter 89 - . Lin Yi

    Lin Yi¡¯s lungs were about to explode from all the insults Zhuang Huai was throwing at her. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum and scold Zhuang Huai, her assistant and manager behind her grabbed her wrists!


    From the looks of it, they could no longer allow Miss Lin Yi to do whatever she wanted. President Ma would only arrive at night, and they had no one to back them up.


    Lin Yi¡¯s manager was a sly middle-aged man.


    He grabbed Lin Yi¡¯s wrist and stood in front of her. He smiled and said to everyone, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! The opening ceremony is the most important thing. Let¡¯s go and start, don¡¯t waste time here!¡±


    ¡°Aiya, you guys don¡¯t know! We had a hard time finding this place just now. We had to make a few rounds before we could reach this place. I¡¯m sorry for being late. Later, our sister Yiyi will pay out of her pocket and treat everyone to drinks!¡± As he said this, he even found an excuse to cover up the fact that they were late but also wanted to use some small favors to shut the crew¡¯s mouth.


    The scene was tranquil, and everyone no longer had the energy to pretend to be polite to Lin Yi and her gang!


    Of course, this was except for the producer, who was highly bitter in his heart but still had to consider the big picture.


    Zhuang Xian looked coldly at Zhuang Huai and Lin Yi, who were being escorted away. She sat in her chair steadily. After a long while, she turned to mo Qian and asked, ¡°Can such a person act well in a movie? I think it¡¯s very reasonable for my third brother to hate her so much!¡±


    After all, there were plenty of good-looking people in the entertainment industry, but it was rare to see someone so stupid.


    ¡°It¡¯s not good! I think it makes sense. ¡± Mo Qian harshly replied to Zhuang Xian, even though he knew she was only ridiculing Lin Yi.


    Zhuang Xian seemed very satisfied with Mo Qian¡¯s agreement and nodded to her in agreement.


    The smile in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes reappeared. ¡°However, your third brother is probably going to be tortured!¡±


    ¡°From how much my third brother hates Lin Yi, this movie will probably be a mess! We¡¯ll wait and see.¡± Zhuang Xian chuckled, but there was a hint of mischief in her eyes. Her current expression made it seem like she was eager to see the world in chaos.


    Zhuang Huai was smooth and slick, but that also depended on who he was dealing with.


    With his status as the Zhuang family¡¯s third young master, there was no need for him to cower in the entertainment industry, especially in front of Lin Yi, who was an idiot who didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth just because she had a rich man backing her. It wasn¡¯t worth Zhuang Huai¡¯s time to waste his expression.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian lovingly, feeling like a furry little animal tickled his heart. It was itchy and numb!


    1


    Because of Lin Yi¡¯s interruption, Zhuang Xian¡¯s energy seemed to have recovered a little. She was much more energetic when she returned to the manor with Mo Qian for a meal.


    After half a day of interaction and observation, Mo Qian better understood Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian was afraid of heat in the bitter summer, and she was easily irritated when it was hot. She was like a small animal that couldn¡¯t be provoked and would explode if touched!


    When you like someone, you can¡¯t wait to get to know them.


    He wished he could know all her habits and hobbies. Even if he discovered some minor flaws, his heart that loved her would automatically beautify her image. These minor flaws would become a symbol of her cuteness and uniqueness!


    The evening temperature in the suburbs was much more pleasant than in the city. Mo Qian¡¯s mood also relaxed as he looked at the relaxed Zhuang Xian.


    The party in the manor started on time. Xiang Nan heard that Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian were coming over at noon, so he brought Si Rong, who happened to have a day off the next day, over to join Mo Qian!


    Holding two glasses of wine in his hands, Xiang Nan slowly approached Zhuang Xian. He handed a glass to Zhuang Xian and said happily, ¡°I heard your third brother also came over. Where is he? Why don¡¯t I see him?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the orange juice in Xiang Nan¡¯s hand and pouted. She accepted it silently. At this time, she had to accept that she was underage. She could not drink.


    ¡°Do you and I know each other?¡± Zhuang Xian asked.


    Xiang Nan took a sip of the wine and smiled at Zhuang Xian. ¡°I know you! We¡¯ve even run a few races together in the past. At that time, Mo Qian could also run a few rounds, so we all know each other. ¡±

 Chapter 90 - You See The Flowers

    .Zhuang Xian nodded her head. She had indeed heard Zhuang Huai mention these things before. Zhuang Huai seemed to be very regretful about Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Mo Qian in the distance and explained to Xiang Nan, ¡°My brother has a script study meeting tonight. He¡¯ll probably come to play for a while after it¡¯s over.¡±


    Even if Zhuang Huai didn¡¯t come to play, he would still come to look after his sister. After all, in his eyes, Mo Qian¡¯s side was a dragon¡¯s pond and a tiger¡¯s den for his sister!


    1


    As the film crew¡¯s study meeting was confidential to the public, he could not bring Zhuang Xian in nor leave his sister outside in a daze. So, he could only leave her with Mo Qian for a while! He was going to come over to pick her up later!


    While Xiang Nan nodded at Zhuang Xian, Mo Qian came over in his wheelchair. He glanced at the orange juice in Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and said to Xiang Nan, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to eat seafood? It¡¯s just done over there. Go quickly!¡±


    Xiang Nan was stunned and looked at Mo Qian in a daze. It took two seconds for him to react, and he hurriedly replied, ¡°Argh! That¡¯s right! I want to eat seafood. I¡¯m so hungry! I¡¯ll head over first.¡±


    As Xiang Nan spoke, he turned around and left with a glass in his hand. Before he left, he glanced at Mo Qian with a wronged look, silently complaining in his heart, ¡°Brother Qian was done. I just saw that Zhuang Xian was bored by herself and wanted to come over to chat with her. Was this worth his guard up? Brother Qian wouldn¡¯t evolve into a big vinegar jar in the future?


    1


    Xiang Nan nodded silently, thinking that this guess was very reasonable.


    Mo Qian couldn¡¯t care less about Xiang Nan¡¯s thoughts!


    After he drove him away, he turned to Zhuang Xian and smiled gently. ¡°You¡¯ve been sitting here for a while. Are you bored? Do you want to go out for a walk?¡±


    At this party, Zhuang Xian only knew the three of them. After eating and drinking to her heart¡¯s content, she was bored. When she heard Mo Qian¡¯s suggestion, she agreed, ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go out and get some fresh air.¡±


    Mo Qian laughed as he maneuvered his wheelchair to the front. Zhuang Xian followed behind him, bored to death. She just looked at Mo Qian¡¯s handsome head and back.


    Perhaps the wind here was too gentle and quiet. As Zhuang Xian looked on, she felt a little lost.


    The information about the Soul Devouring Bureau she had found over the past few days flashed through her mind. She also thought of the new GO manual the old master had asked Li Qin to bring her and many other messy things!


    She didn¡¯t feel troubled or trivial, but she was slightly dazed as she thought about things. The night wind blew, and she was in a very relaxed state.


    Mo Qian was moving on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left. Seeing that Zhuang Xian was ambling without a word, he started a conversation with a faint smile.


    His voice was also calm and indifferent. ¡°When I returned at noon, I didn¡¯t have time to bring you here to see the flowers. It¡¯s almost evening now, and the color of the hibiscus mutabilis has turned dark red. It¡¯s even more passionate and brilliant than it was at noon! Do you like this kind of flower?¡±


    Zhuang Xian lowered her head and looked at the cobblestones on the road as if she did not notice Mo Qian¡¯s words.


    Mo Qian looked at the side of her face that was kissed by the afterglow of the setting sun. It was beautiful and peaceful, and his heart couldn¡¯t help but beat a few times faster.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian,¡± he called out in a low and gentle voice.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian still did not say anything, he muttered in a gentle and loving voice, ¡°Xian¡¯ er! Xiaoxian! ¡°Xian ¡­¡± Mo Qian slowly let go of the hand controlling the wheelchair. He said the last ¡®Xian¡¯ was extraordinarily lingering and affectionate, like a piece of honey that he had hidden in his heart for a long time. Suddenly, he kicked it out, scattering its sweetness all over the ground.


    Zhuang Xian had only realized Mo Qian was not following her after taking a few steps out. She turned back to look at Mo Qian and asked in confusion, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you moving?¡±


    Mo Qian raised his head and looked at his girl with smiling eyes. He said warmly, ¡°What are you thinking about? Were you so absorbed in thinking? I called you a few times, and you didn¡¯t notice.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I was thinking about something else. What did you say?¡± Zhuang Xian frankly admitted that she was distracted and did not hear Mo Qian¡¯s words.


    Mo Qian was helpless. He smiled gently and said, ¡°I want you to raise your head and look at this Manor full of Hibiscus mutabilis.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian slowly raised her head and looked around. Immediately, she was shocked by the brilliance and enthusiasm that greeted her eyes.


    The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their deep red petals as if they were tempered with a layer of golden light, making them even more dazzling and eye-catching.


    ¡°Do you know what the meaning of the hibiscus is?¡±


    Mo Qian smiled as he looked at Zhuang Xian with warm Phoenix eyes

 Chapter 91 - Are You Troubled?

    Zhuang Xian seemed to have been stunned by this spectacular view. After a long while, she turned around and looked at Mo Qian. She nodded her head slightly and said, ¡°I know,¡±


    As a top fashion designer, Zhuang Xian was well aware of such common sense.


    ¡°The meaning of the hibiscus mutabilis is a pure, noble, and slender beauty.¡± Zhuang Xian added.


    Mo Qian nodded, his eyes looking at the sea of flowers in the manor. He chuckled and said, ¡°You¡¯re right. I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a wide range of knowledge!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? isn¡¯t that just a question of common sense?¡± Zhuang Xian said calmly.


    Mo Qian moved a short distance before her and said with a faint smile, ¡°Is it common sense? But many people don¡¯t know. The world loves the beauty of peonies and the wealth and glory it represents, but I always feel that it¡¯s not as beautiful as hibiscus. Do you know why?¡±


    This was the first time Zhuang Xian had seen Mo Qian so relaxed. He seemed in high spirits as he expressed his views to her.


    Zhuang Xian turned around and glanced at the bench behind her. She sat down sideways and looked up at Mo Qian with great interest. She said happily, ¡°I¡¯d like to hear the details.¡±


    Mo Qian took a light breath, his nose filled with the faint fragrance of the hibiscus.


    His tone was gentle as he looked at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°Most hibiscus flowers bloom in the morning and wither in the evening. The flower is white at the beginning of the morning, and at noon, the color becomes dark pink. In the evening, the flower will be dark red and start to close and wither.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes with a hint of playfulness and adoration. ¡°You¡¯re as beautiful and ever-changing as this one. You surprise people from time to time, but your base color seems clean and pure, symbolizing the nobility and purity of this world. This is very rare and precious!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Mo Qian¡¯s words, the corners of her lips slowly curled up into a smile.


    She had to admit that no one could resist this Mo Qian!


    Mo Qian seemed to know where his charm should be displayed. His posture and actions were lazy and casual, but the light in his eyes was sincere. This gave Zhuang Xian a momentary illusion.


    Mo Qian seemed to have become her devout admirer and loved her for a long time.


    Zhuang Xian was bewitched and attracted by this feeling. For a moment, she could not help but trust him and choose him without care!


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and raised her delicate eyebrows. She looked at Mo Qian in a good mood and asked, ¡°So, should I thank you for your compliment? But President Mo, how do you know what my nature is like? Do I look like a hibiscus? Do you know me very well?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian shook his head and said frankly, ¡°I don¡¯t understand, but I¡¯m trying my best to understand.¡± As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled into a very doting and somewhat determined smile.


    ¡°Eh? What did you say?¡± Mo Qian¡¯s expression was so intimate and gentle that Zhuang Xian thought she couldn¡¯t read his expression.


    And what did he mean by that?


    A loud voice in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart kept telling her that Mo Qian liked her.


    But how was that possible? Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was evident as she retorted against her heart.


    She and Mo Qian were like people from two different worlds. Mo Qian was the proud son of Heaven, the respected King of the Mo family!


    And her? She was just a reincarnated ghost who was unwilling to accept everything in her previous life and only wanted to take revenge!


    Before she could exact her revenge, Zhuang Xian would not put her mind on other things.

    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes had been observing the expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. In that instant, her delicate little face seemed filled with a lot of concern, and her eyes were covered with a lot of mist.


    Mo Qian couldn¡¯t read her emotions, and he couldn¡¯t understand why Zhuang Xian had such a complicated aura at such a young age.


    Mo Qian asked Zhuang Xian calmly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did my words just now trouble you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian silently retracted her gaze and did not answer Mo Qian¡¯s question. She did not know how to answer.


    Just as the two of them were about to fall into an inexplicable anxious atmosphere, Xiang Nan and Si Rong¡¯s sudden intrusion broke the atmosphere.


    ¡°Brother Qian! Fourth young miss! Why are you guys hiding here? We¡¯ve been looking everywhere for you.¡± Xiang Nan looked at Mo Qian, his eyes a little dazed.

 Chapter 92 - The Mountain Race

    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know why, but when she heard Xiang Nan¡¯s voice, she suddenly felt she was saved. She thought that Xiang Nan was very cute at this moment. ¡°What are you looking for us for?¡±


    Si Rong¡¯s sharp senses detected a strange atmosphere between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian. He glanced at Mo Qian, frowning slightly, and said slowly, ¡°There¡¯s an outdoor race at the mountain tonight, and many famous racers from City H will be there. Xiang Nan wants to join in the fun and asked if you two would like to go together!¡±


    Seeing that Si Rong had said what he wanted to say, Xiang Nan quickly added, ¡°I¡¯m not the only one who wants to go! Si Rong also wants to go! We¡¯ve run in too many indoor arenas, but this kind of outdoor one is sporadic. It¡¯s so exciting!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian and said excitedly, ¡°We have you here today. Do we need to be afraid that we can¡¯t win against that group of people? Let¡¯s go and take a look together! I heard that your third brother¡¯s crew also went to have fun, which was very lively! Didn¡¯t he call you? That¡¯s not interesting enough!¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Xiang Nan and took out her phone. She realized she had muted her phone and forgotten to turn it on. The screen was filled with calls and messages from Zhuang Huai.


    Zhuang Xian opened the message and glanced at it. Her beautiful eyebrows slowly furrowed. She looked at the time and said to Xiang Nan, ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s hurry over.¡±


    Xiang Nan¡¯s eyes brightened when she heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s answer. ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s go. ¡±


    As he led Zhuang Xian in front, he did not forget to turn back and shout at Mo Qian and Si Rong, ¡°Hurry up and follow me! Zhuang Xian and I will head over first!¡±


    Mo Qian saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression turn cold after she looked at her phone. He said to Si Rong, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry and follow them!¡±


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s serious expression, Si Rong quickly held onto the armrest of Mo Qian¡¯s wheelchair and pushed him forward. He asked in a deep voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What did you find?¡±


    ¡°Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood doesn¡¯t seem right!¡± Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and explained, ¡°I¡¯m guessing that something has happened to Zhuang Huai. Let¡¯s hurry and follow her!¡±


    Si Rong nodded and quickened his pace. After some thought, he asked, ¡°What were you talking about with Zhuang Xian just now? She didn¡¯t seem to be in a good mood! Why? Did the confession fail?¡±


    Si Rong¡¯s tone sounded relaxed and casual, making Mo Qian sigh in relief. He shook his head slightly and replied, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Then what¡¯s the matter?¡± Si Rong asked in confusion.


    Why would Mo Qian look so discouraged and depressed if his confession had not failed?


    ¡°I¡¯m not a beast. Zhuang Xian is only 17 years old! If I wanted to confess, I should wait until she was an adult. People will misunderstand if I tell her now.¡± Mo Qian explained helplessly.


    1


    Many emotions and actions are not under your control when you like someone. You instinctively want to get close to her, touch her, and tell her all your joy!


    Just now, Mo Qian couldn¡¯t help but want to get closer to Zhuang Xian, both mentally and physically. However, when he expressed his affection, Zhuang Xian immediately became alert.


    She had sealed herself in a tough shell, and Mo Qian could not touch her.


    This was Mo Qian¡¯s first time genuinely liking someone. Many of his words and actions were filled with inexperience. This impulse was not something in his bones, but it was hard for him to control it. He had become a little different from himself!


    Mo Qian did not know that this was one of the signs of his love for Zhuang Xian.


    It was Xiang Nan¡¯s first time sitting in Zhuang Xian¡¯s car. He clutched his seat belt in excitement. When he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, he only saw her cold eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked, puzzled. ¡°Did big brother Qian make you angry?¡±


    Zhuang Xian started the car and turned to look at Xiang Nan. ¡°Shut up and show me the way.¡±


    Xiang Nan, ¡°¡­¡± It¡¯s over. Did he get on a pirate ship?


    In the face of Zhuang Xian¡¯s cold aura, Xiang Nan shut his mouth. ¡°Okay, sister Xian.¡± Not only did he have a good eye, but he also naturally used the honorific title of Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s face was expressionless, but only she knew how nervous and worried she was for Zhuang Huai.


    After Zhuang Huai finished reading the script, he was stopped by Lin Yi and her men.


    Lin Yi¡¯s sugar daddy, Boss Ma, came to the production team. With someone backing her up, she naturally began to be arrogant again!

 Chapter 93 - Are You Taking Revenge on Me?

    Lin Yi and Zhuang Huai were in the industry. They already disliked each other. Now that they were filming together, they hated each other even more!


    Zhuang Huai cherished this script very much, which was why he was so tolerant of Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi didn¡¯t know what was good for her. She was used to being willful and had always been arrogant because she was young and beautiful.


    Lin Yi felt that Zhuang Huai¡¯s actions this afternoon had embarrassed her. She was vengeful and would get back at him for the face she had lost.


    Therefore, when she heard Boss Ma mention the Er Mountain Race, she had an idea.


    Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Zhuang Huai knew how to race. Since Boss Ma¡¯s team was here today, why don¡¯t we race?


    She had made a bet with Zhuang Huai. Whoever lost would have to leave the production team immediately!


    If this continued, there was no way for them to coexist, so it was better to end it as soon as possible.


    Lin Yi brought a full company into the production, so she wasn¡¯t worried about being withdrawn. At most, she could take the money and switch to another production. Many production teams were fighting to hire her or get Boss Ma¡¯s investment behind her!


    She had forced Zhuang Huai to participate in the competition with sarcasm. When Zhuang Huai had nodded in agreement, she had been so pleased with herself that she had thought Zhuang Huai had already lost to her.


    What she didn¡¯t know was that Zhuang Huai was playing along. Even if Lin Yi supported the hoodlums behind Boss Ma, he still could fight them!


    He had this bit of confidence. Zhuang Huai admitted that his driving skills were not wrong. Although he couldn¡¯t be compared to some top racers, he should still be much better than this group of pretentious racers.


    Er Mountain¡¯s body was highly majestic. When the local government built the mountain road, to save time and money, the road was built along the mountain¡¯s path. It was incredibly steep and had many turns and blind spots!


    Because of the frequent car accidents, this road was semi-abandoned. There were almost no cars on the road, but after some fanatical racing enthusiasts discovered it in the city, it became a place for them to seek excitement and show off their skills.


    Zhuang Xian had never been to this place before, but when she looked up from the foot of the mountain, her eyes were filled with surprise. From a racer¡¯s perspective, this road was like a dangerous beauty waiting to be conquered!


    There were already a lot of racing cars parked at the foot of the mountain. Everyone had come prepared and wanted to show off their skills today. Zhuang Xian did not see Zhuang Huai¡¯s figure in the crowd, and her brows were already furrowed deeply.


    Xiang Nan seemed to have seen through Zhuang Xian¡¯s worry and reminded her, ¡°There are two types of mountain races. It¡¯s less difficult to go up the mountain than down the mountain. Your third brother and the others might be at the top of the mountain. Should we go up?¡±


    Zhuang Xian stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped onto the mountain road. She turned her head to look at Xiang Nan and asked, ¡°How did you know my brother was at the top of the mountain? I didn¡¯t tell you I was looking for my brother.¡±


    Xiang Nan smiled helplessly and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Brother Qian guessed that you¡¯re worried about the third young master Zhuang, so he¡¯s already asked someone to find his location! He¡¯s stuck at the top of the mountain with Ma An¡¯s team. He can¡¯t leave without a race!¡±


    As Xiang Nan reported the message Mo Qian wanted him to pass on to Zhuang Xian, he observed her expression. After seeing no apparent emotional fluctuation, he turned his head in disappointment and muttered, ¡°You¡¯re tough to get. My brother Qian has never been so interested in a girl before! I¡¯ve only experienced such a considerate and understanding brother Qian a few times since I was young. Now that he has a spouse, he has forgotten about his brother!¡±


    As she listened to Xiang Nan¡¯s endless nagging, Zhuang Xian only glanced at him and reminded him, ¡°Sit tight,¡±


    She stepped on the accelerator as she spoke, and the race car suddenly went up a slope. Xiang Nan was thrown onto the seat by the car¡¯s inertia, feeling guilty.


    He suspected that Zhuang Xian¡¯s kick was intentional, as she wanted to take revenge on him for talking and nagging. However, he had no evidence, so he could only hold on to his seat belt and the right armrest of the car.


    It had to be said that Zhuang Xian¡¯s driving was very stable and exciting. She would not dare to drive south on such a mountain road.


    At the peak of Er Mountain.


    Lin Yi snuggled up in Ma An¡¯s arms and looked at Zhuang Huai in disdain. When she turned back, she did not forget to blow a warm breath into Ma An¡¯s ear.

 Chapter 94 - Its Raining

    Lin Yi said to Ma An softly, ¡°Hubby! Pick the best driver later. He must beat Zhuang Huai! You don¡¯t know what he said to me this afternoon. He was too much!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Ma An with hook-like eyes. Her beautiful little face was crying, and the words ¡°weeping,¡± and ¡°pitiful¡± were vividly portrayed. Even the best actress would have to admit she was inferior to her!


    Ma An loved Lin Yi¡¯s expression. He reached out and pinched Lin Yi¡¯s waist, a wicked smile on his face. ¡°Alright! Hubby will teach this small star a lesson today to help you vent your anger, okay?¡±


    Ma An had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and rarely involved himself in other businesses. He only knew that Zhuang Huai was a small star that had been very popular recently, but he did not know his identity as the third son of the Zhuang family!


    He thought, ¡®Zhuang Huai¡¯s just a young hunk who only appeared for a short while. How dare he dream of challenging Lin Yi¡¯s authority in the production team? Overestimating his ability!¡¯


    Lin Yi was someone he wanted to support. Wasn¡¯t scolding her a slap to his face?


    In the face of the power of capital, traffic and reputation were just bubbles and illusions. They could not withstand a single blow!


    Ma An looked at Zhuang Huai from afar and felt he was pretty good-looking. It wasn¡¯t unreasonable for him to be famous. It was a pity that he didn¡¯t like messing with men. He might have been more tender and protective of her if it was a woman!


    After all, everyone loved beauty!


    If Zhuang Huai were to discover Ma An¡¯s thoughts, he would not have had a good ending today!


    Such a narrow-minded and arrogant person lacked society¡¯s beating and ¡®baptism¡¯.


    Zhuang Huai leaned against the car and took the water from his assistant. After taking a sip, he asked, ¡°What time is it now?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s almost eight, brother Huai!¡± The assistant replied.


    Zhuang Huai nodded. He had to hurry back to Mo Qian¡¯s Manor to pick up his sister, so he couldn¡¯t let Zhuang Xian stay there for too long!


    ¡°Brother Huai, Lin Yi, and the man beside her have been looking in our direction! It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen someone blatantly keep a female celebrity as his mistress; how shameless!¡± The assistant stood up and blocked Zhuang Huai¡¯s way, speaking to him disgustingly.


    ¡°Why else do you think Lin Yi is so arrogant?¡± Zhuang Huai¡¯s handsome face was cold as he said in disdain.


    Zhuang Huai knew Lin Yi and Ma An would look at him sometimes, but he didn¡¯t care. He looked around at the racers, and the blood in his veins started to boil.


    He even saw the famous crazy racer of City H and his friends. Today¡¯s scene was not simple.


    It was just past eight o¡¯clock in the evening when the open-air headlights on the top of Er Mountain were turned on. As the lights fell, there was a fine drizzle!


    Mountain rain had caught everyone¡¯s attention. This was not good news for those about to participate in the competition!


    The mountain rain would wet the road; it was nighttime, so everything became more dangerous and exciting. Everyone began to talk about it.


    ¡°It¡¯s raining!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re finished! Then, can we still hold today¡¯s Mountain race? I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time!¡±


    ¡°Who isn¡¯t? Since Mo Qian stopped racing a few years ago, I haven¡¯t been here! I heard that the mad scientist was coming, so I came! Let¡¯s hope they can compete so we won¡¯t have wasted the trip!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a little rain. What are you afraid of? Isn¡¯t this even more exciting?¡±


    ¡°Exciting my ass! On such a dangerous track, they could crash and die if they are not careful! The safety at night is too low, and now that it is raining, the road condition is even worse! My life is more important so that I won¡¯t run today!¡±


    The driver¡¯s words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand Waves. Some people echoed him, while others scolded him for being a coward who dared to play with cars!


    The competition had not even started yet, but everyone¡¯s voices were already shaking the sky!


    Ma An looked at the drizzle and shouted, ¡°This is more fun! Those who have no balls can leave now. This time, the prizes and monetary gifts have nothing to do with you!¡±


    Some of them cursed and left, while others stood in the rain, coldly looking at Ma An.

 Chapter 95 - Help You Get Rid of it

    Ma An looked at the people behind her and licked the rainwater on the corner of his lips. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re all real men! How about this, to reward everyone for their courage, I, Ma An, will pay the bonus today, double it! Hahaha!¡±


    As he said that, he walked toward Zhuang Huai and smiled playfully, ¡°What do you think, big star? Do you still dare to compete?¡±


    Zhuang Huai snorted, and the smile on his face became even more radiant.


    His facial features were bright and handsome, and he looked even better when he smiled. Half of his sleeve was already wet from the rain, but he didn¡¯t care. He raised his eyebrows and said to Ma An, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m just afraid that you won¡¯t dare to fight, President Ma.¡±


    Ma An looked at Zhuang Huai and was stunned for a moment. He felt he was handsome, but his facial features were too striking. He didn¡¯t have any female features, so he couldn¡¯t even make a move.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity,¡± Ma An mumbled.


    Zhuang Huai didn¡¯t seem to understand what Ma An meant. He walked out under his assistant¡¯s umbrella and said to Ma An, ¡°Why don¡¯t I increase the bonus? Boss Ma, you can come along too! It¡¯ll be more exciting and fun if we all play together!¡±


    As he spoke, he raised his head slightly in the rain and combed his long hair with his hand. His sharp and handsome facial features affected Ma An¡¯s visual cells.


    ¡°Get Lin Yi to come along! Isn¡¯t she the fiercest one?¡± Zhuang Huai said with ill intentions.


    Looking at Ma An¡¯s stunned expression, he chuckled unhappily, ¡°Surely Ma didn¡¯t lose his brain from the rain?¡±


    What kind of look was that? It was so disgusting!


    Ma An returned to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, ¡°You¡¯re a man. I feel bothered when you bully a woman. I¡¯ll find someone to compete with you. Don¡¯t be so anxious, okay?¡±


    ¡°Ha! Who does Boss Ma think he is? You¡¯re looking for someone to compete with me?¡± Zhuang Huai laughed, his eyes frighteningly deep. ¡°I, Zhuang Huai, am not cheap! What kind of top driver are you looking for to compete with me?¡±


    Seeing that Ma An had stopped talking, Zhuang Huai sneered and suggested, ¡°How about this! You can compete with me on behalf of your woman. That should be fine, right?¡±


    Ma An forced a smile and replied, ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll compete with you. ¡±


    ¡°My third brother¡¯s driving skills aren¡¯t something that just anyone can see! If you want to compete with him, you¡¯ll have to get past me first. In today¡¯s match, I¡¯ll compete with you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s cold voice reached everyone¡¯s ears before she even stopped.


    She tightened the black cap on her head, lowered her head, pushed open the door, and got out of the car. The cap¡¯s brim blocked some rain for her, but it could not cover her sexy red lips and delicate jaw.


    Everyone present turned their heads in unison and saw a beautiful woman with a graceful figure but an overbearing aura got out of the car and walk over.


    Li Feng recognized Zhuang Xian almost instantly. He felt that the way his boss closed the car door was much more handsome than Xiang Nan, who got out of the car!


    He even felt that the sound of Zhuang Xian closing the car door was like a slap to his heart!


    Zhuang Xian was too charming. Li Feng felt that his mentality had significantly changed after he lost to her last time. He felt that he had fallen in love with Zhuang Xian.


    He did not expect Zhuang Xian to appear here and was pleasantly surprised. He slowly took a few steps forward.


    Ma An was stunned as he looked at Zhuang Xian. A hat could not hide Zhuang Xian¡¯s beauty. This mysterious and calm atmosphere had made Ma An¡¯s heart flutter!


    As he watched Zhuang Xian walk over to Zhuang Huai¡¯s side, Ma An had a plan in his heart. Just now, this beauty had called Zhuang Huai¡¯s third brother over, so she must be Zhuang Huai¡¯s sister!


    Were their family¡¯s genes that good? The handsome man and beautiful woman were too eye-catching! Ma An thought.


    ¡°How may I address you, beautiful lady? You called Zhuang Huai ¡°big brother,¡± so is he your real brother? Or a good big brother?¡± Ma An looked at Zhuang Xian with a perverted smile on his face. His disgusting eyes were already fixed on Zhuang Xian¡¯s chest.


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s face immediately turned cold. He pulled Zhuang Xian behind him and said sternly, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business what brother I am! You can tell me if you don¡¯t want to watch your eyes. I don¡¯t mind helping you get rid of them!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist was cold in his hand. Zhuang Huai turned to look at her and asked gently, ¡°What are you doing here? Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait for me there?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked up at Zhuang Huai and said in a low voice without any expression, ¡°If I didn¡¯t rush over, do you think I would watch you court death? Do you think you can make it to the foot of the mountain today with your mediocre driving skills?¡±


    Zhuang Huai was speechless.

 Chapter 96 - . Nonsense

    Xiang Nan had experienced the best cold air from the foot of Er Mountain, especially when it started to rain when they were about to reach the top of the mountain. Zhuang Xian¡¯s aura became even colder.


    Xiang Nan didn¡¯t know what was going on and didn¡¯t dare to ask directly. He held his phone and sent messages to Mo Qian and his ¡®distress signal¡¯.


    Er Mountain, Mountain rain, and Zhuang Huai!


    Some painful memories from her past life came back to Zhuang Xian. How could she forget about this?


    When Zhuang Xian reached the top of the mountain, she immediately saw the drenched Zhuang Huai standing in the rain. Third brother was still standing there, perfectly fine. He did not get into the race car, nor was he forced to run this race by these vicious people.


    After Zhuang Xian said those words coldly, she finally relaxed her tense heart. Thank God, thank God, nothing had happened yet.


    In her past life, Zhuang Huai was forced to film a movie and race cars around this time. He suffered a severe injury and almost ruined his entire acting career!


    An actor¡¯s face was a tool for them to make a living. Zhuang Huai had fallen into a trap at that time.


    Even though he had won the match against Lin Yi, his face had been injured, and it took him half a year to recover. Lin Yi might not have even thought about letting Zhuang Huai return to the set in one piece.


    Zhuang Xian was wrong. No matter how arrogant Lin Yi was, she was still just a tiny star in the entertainment industry. The real mastermind behind the incident was someone else!


    Zhuang Huai looked at the cold Zhuang Xian and couldn¡¯t understand why his sister was so cold and fierce. He tried to search his mind but realized that he didn¡¯t seem to have done anything to make her angry.


    Was she angry that he had come to play without her? It didn¡¯t look like it!


    ¡°Why are you so fierce? Who made you angry?¡± Zhuang Huai asked tentatively.


    Xiang Nan followed Zhuang Xian and stood behind Zhuang Huai. The two of them nodded at each other as a form of greeting. Xiang Nan looked around the place, and his brain started excitedly.


    Lin Yi stood behind Ma An and watched as Ma An stared straight at Zhuang Xian. It was as if his eyes were glued to Zhuang Xian.


    She understood Ma An¡¯s character. This man was rich, but he was too inconsistent. He couldn¡¯t move when he saw a beautiful woman!


    Lin Yi understood the excitement in Ma An¡¯s eyes all too well. He was thinking about someone else again!


    Lin Yi snorted and glared at Zhuang Xian. She took a few steps forward and held onto Ma An¡¯s arm. ¡°Hubby, you don¡¯t know! When you weren¡¯t around this afternoon, it was the two of them who ganged up to bully me! She ¡­¡±


    As Lin Yi spoke, she looked at Zhuang Xian and pointed at her with her fair finger. She said in an aggrieved tone, ¡°She even scolded me! The scolding was unpleasant to hear! I don¡¯t care, hubby. You have to help me vent my anger today.¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want to see these disgusting people here, so she reached out and patted her third brother¡¯s wrist, silently comforting Zhuang Huai.


    She really shouldn¡¯t have been so cold to Zhuang Huai just now. Zhuang Huai didn¡¯t know what happened in his past life.


    She looked at Ma An, holding Lin Yi¡¯s slender waist and coaxing her. Her eyes turned cold, and she said coldly, ¡°Boss Ma! I wonder if I have the honor to have a match with you?¡±


    She turned to Lin Yi as she spoke and sneered, ¡°Of course! If Miss Lin is also interested, I don¡¯t mind if you two join us.¡±


    Ma An was happy to hear that. He let go of Lin Yi¡¯s waist and raised his eyebrows at Zhuang Xian, ¡°Alright! Everyone was going out to have fun together, so they had fun! Compete!¡±


    Zhuang Huai frowned as he looked at Zhuang Xian. From what Zhuang Xian said, she wanted to go on stage and run a match with Ma An. Did his sister have a grudge against Ma An? Or did his sister want to compete in his place?


    No, no, no! The main point seemed to be wrong. This didn¡¯t seem right!


    When did his sister learn how to race? Why didn¡¯t he know about this?


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s confident expression, Zhuang Huai was confused. He pulled Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and asked in a low voice, ¡°When did you learn how to race? If you don¡¯t know how to, don¡¯t mess around here. Today¡¯s scene is not a joke. ¡±

 Chapter 97 - Drawing Lots

    Zhuang Xian looked at her third brother and pursed her lips. She was a little speechless as she said, ¡°When did I mess around? If you want to finish filming this movie, you must listen to me!¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s determined and severe eyes and was slightly stunned.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm and composed expression seemed to be telling Zhuang Huai that he could leave everything to her and that she was trustworthy!


    Zhuang Xian had a natural aura that made people believe in her, and this aura made people choose to believe in her and follow her!


    Zhuang Huai looked at Zhuang Xian and nodded his head in a daze.


    Zhuang Xian had never been one to mess around. Since she had decided to do something, she would do it!


    ¡°I can trust you, but during the race later, you have to let me sit in the passenger seat. That way, I¡¯ll be more at ease.¡± Zhuang Huai added.


    ¡°Are you guys done? It¡¯s about to begin. It¡¯s too late to back out!¡± Lin Yi looked at Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai and said in a weird tone.


    Zhuang Xian ignored Lin Yi¡¯s clamor and looked at Zhuang Huai as she nodded helplessly. She knew this was the most significant compromise her third brother could make.


    Lin Yi¡¯s face turned red with anger when they ignored her. She shrieked, ¡°If you have the guts, then continue to be arrogant! If you lose later, don¡¯t cry and beg me!¡±


    As she said this, she looked at Zhuang Huai with disdain and continued, ¡°Zhuang Huai, you¡¯re going to lose today! I hope you haven¡¯t forgotten our bet. Whoever loses will automatically leave this crew!¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Zhuang Huai sneered, ¡°I¡¯ll return the exact words to you! After you lose, don¡¯t think about reneging on your debt, and don¡¯t beg you are good husband to help you vent your anger! Even if you don¡¯t find it embarrassing, he does!


    I¡¯ll give you one last piece of advice! Serving people by their looks wouldn¡¯t last long, and it wouldn¡¯t last long, either. The most important thing for a person is to accumulate and settle down! You have such a beautiful head. Please don¡¯t do it to look tall!¡± Zhuang Huai grinned at Lin Yi and said in a weird tone.


    After hearing Zhuang Huai¡¯s words, Xiang Nan laughed out loud. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know you were so mean, Zhuang Huai? You have a sharp tongue!¡±


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s eyes were fixed on Lin Yi and Ma An, but he smiled faintly as he returned to Xiang Nan. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve always kept a low profile!¡±


    When Lin Yi saw Xiang Nan laughing, he slowly realized that Zhuang Huai was calling her brainless!


    ¡°Zhuang Huai, you ¡­¡± Lin Yi was furious. She wanted to argue with Zhuang Huai, but Ma An grabbed her arm.


    Zhuang Huai and Lin Yi had already reached a point where they could not get along!


    In the afternoon, Zhuang Huai was still thinking of putting up with Lin Yi until the movie was over, but now it seemed like he was too naive. Lin Yi wasn¡¯t worth his compromise!


    Ma An didn¡¯t know Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Xian, but he felt that Xiang Nan looked familiar.


    Who was this person? Why did he feel like he had seen him before? Ma An grabbed Lin Yi¡¯s arm and thought with a frown.


    Before Ma An could figure it out, music was played from a loudspeaker in the distance.


    ¡°Good evening to all car racing fans of City H!¡± The host¡¯s passionate voice echoed in the rain.¡±Everyone has been looking forward to the annual Mountain Race is about to begin! We are lucky to have received generous sponsorship from Ma An, Boss Ma, this year. Before the game begins, let¡¯s thank Boss Ma with the warmest applause!¡±


    The people standing at the periphery still gave him face by clapping, but it was sparse and quite awkward to hear!


    The emcee did not seem to notice the awkwardness and continued to use his passionate voice to enhance the venue¡¯s atmosphere. ¡°Okay! Thank you for your warm response. Now, we will begin the pre-match draw!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the host and asked Zhuang Huai, ¡°Isn¡¯t this an individual competition? What¡¯s the point of drawing lots?¡±


    Xiang Nan was very familiar with the competition. He quickly explained to Zhuang Xian, ¡°The width of Er Mountain¡¯s Lane is limited. If we fight alone, the battle situation might be out of control, so we have to split up! This way, everyone will fight as a group, and the competition will be less. There will be more variety of ways to play!¡±

 Chapter 98 - The Treasure at The Bottom of The Box

    After hearing Xiang Nan¡¯s explanation, Zhuang Xian frowned and nodded. She turned around to look at Lin Yi and Ma An¡¯s convoy and saw a few familiar racers. There was a reason why Ma An dared to be so arrogant.


    A racer who gave Zhuang Xian a familiar feeling had at least won some championship titles in City H. He was like a madman.


    Speaking of lunatics, Zhuang Xian had already seen him in the crowd.


    However, Zhuang Xian only looked at him coldly, as if she did not know him at all!


    Li Feng understood what Zhuang Xian meant. In front of so many people, her identity had to be kept a secret. It was best for him not to get close to her now!


    By the time Mo Qian and Si Rong arrived at the mountaintop, the drawing of lots for the teams had already ended.


    Ma An looked at the fortune stick in his hand with satisfaction. The organizer was quite tactful to have assigned his team to their group!


    Ma An took the umbrella from his Secretary and strolled over to Zhuang Xian. He was only three steps away when Zhuang Huai raised his hand to stop him.


    He looked at the guarded and nervous Zhuang Huai and laughed lightly. ¡°What are you nervous about, big star? I just wanted to see what kind of stick our sister drew!¡±


    ¡°I advise you to get lost! The match is about to start. I don¡¯t want to beat you up at this time!¡± Zhuang Huai stood in front of Zhuang Xian and looked at Ma An coldly.


    Ma An¡¯s eyes turned cold, and a sinister and crazy smile appeared on his face. ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s see who¡¯s the real deal on the track!¡±


    The judges were already arranging the contestants into their positions. Zhuang Xian looked at Ma An¡¯s back coldly as he left. She had already given him the death sentence in her heart.


    This Ma An had almost disfigured Zhuang Huai in her past life. She would help Zhuang Huai take revenge later!


    The beautiful and sexy car lovers were already in position. Zhuang Xian observed the members around her and realized they were only amateur car racing hobbyists!


    The organizers were ¡®fair¡¯!


    Zhuang Xian opened the car door nonchalantly. She thought that even if it was an individual competition, she could crush these scumbags in front of her!


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, wait!¡± His deep and concerned voice interrupted Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand movements.


    Zhuang Xian turned around and saw Mo Qian wheeling out of the rain and fog.


    Mo Xi and Si Rong quickly followed behind Mo Qian¡¯s wheelchair. Each held an umbrella, shielding Mo Qian from the rain.


    Xiang Nan turned around and waved at them. ¡°Why are you so slow? I thought you were stopped at the foot of the mountain by the car that just went down to clean the track!¡±


    Si Rong smiled and glanced at Xiang Nan. He explained to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Mo Qian has transferred a treasure over for you at the last minute! You¡¯ll still have to show this front if you play in person!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned around to look behind them. A Ferrari top-class racing car that was equally gorgeous and superior in the rain was just there.


    Xiang Nan widened his eyes and exclaimed, ¡°F*ck! Brother Qian, you¡¯re too generous! You¡¯ve taken out all your treasures for sister Xian!¡±


    The car was expensive, but in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, it was not even worth half a strand of Zhuang Xian¡¯s hair.


    When the wind blew, the mountain rain was slanted. Mo Qian¡¯s legs, sitting in the wheelchair, were already wet. Mo Qian, who had always been a clean freak, didn¡¯t seem to care at all at this moment.


    He looked up at Zhuang Xian and said thoughtfully, ¡°Er Mountain¡¯s road is hazardous, but it¡¯s not the most difficult! It¡¯s dangerous because there are too many uncertainties along the way, especially the way down the mountain is too steep, and there are many blind spots. You have to observe more when you¡¯re competing! To be safe, you should drive this Ferrari! The road is slippery on rainy days, and I¡¯ve modified its grip in the past, so it¡¯s just right.¡±


    Zhuang Xian took a look at the Ferrari. It was indeed a top-notch racing car. It could even be considered a collector¡¯s item!


    Mo Qian was generous, even willing to take out such a car to get exposed to the wind and rain!


    Their eyes met when Zhuang Xian turned around to look at Mo Qian. Zhuang Xian paused for a moment and quickly regained her senses. She nodded her head in agreement. ¡°I understand! Thank you,¡±


    Zhuang Xian had always been decisive and unpretentious on important matters like this!


    Ma An held onto the steering wheel as he sat in the car. Seeing that Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai were still not in position, he looked over them. Before he could see who was being escorted away, Lin Yi blocked his view.

 Chapter 99 - Playing With Your Life?

    Lin Yi noticed that Ma An was distracted, so she stood up and blocked his view.


    Just now, Zhuang Xian was sitting in the car¡¯s driver¡¯s seat with her back bent. Her body was graceful, and her movements were swift. Lin Yi thought that Ma An was peeking at her again.


    Lin Yi was burning with jealousy as she thought, ¡®This little B*tch may be young, but she¡¯s good at seducing men!¡¯


    She was with Mo Qian during the day; at night, she came here to flirt with Zhuang Huai and almost ruined her plan. Now, even Ma An¡¯s soul was about to be taken away. She was going against her in every way and making her unhappy!


    Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite with them! They would let Zhuang Huai and his ¡®good little sister¡¯ experience their power in a while.


    In the drizzling rain, the different types of racing engines roared. The sound was deafening, and with the referee¡¯s order, the crazy racers released the brakes!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s and Ma An¡¯s racing cars sped off almost simultaneously. The bright headlights hit the slippery road, and the roar of the Ferrari¡¯s engine ignited Zhuang Xian!


    ¡°Wow! The car¡¯s engine was almost at full capacity in an instant. The starting speed was too fast! I like it!¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands were on the steering wheel as she spoke to Zhuang Huai excitedly.


    Zhuang Huai was also affected by the low growling of the race car. He licked his dry lips and smiled at Zhuang Xian, ¡°You get what you pay for! Why don¡¯t you take a look at its current market value? It is enough to buy several ordinary villas! President Mo is rich and overbearing!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian did not say anything else.


    She focused her attention on the road that had suddenly become narrower. There were no headlights on the mountaintop, so the road was much darker.


    Ma An¡¯s car had been sticking close to the left side of Zhuang Xian¡¯s car and was eager to overtake her.


    The light in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes turned cold. She said softly, ¡°Third brother! You should have stayed at the top of the mountain and come down with them in the helicopter. You didn¡¯t have to come with me!¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by unnecessary? You better focus on driving and stop talking about this! I¡¯m risking my life as a gentleman to accompany you today! No one can stop me!¡± Zhuang Huai shouted in a deep voice as if trying to encourage himself.


    He was willing to believe in his sister, but the feeling of his stomach churning was not good! This was Zhuang Huai¡¯s first time getting carsick in a car race!


    He did not manage to get Ma An on the narrow road, so he angrily smacked the steering wheel.


    Lin Yi held onto the car window¡¯s handle and steadied her heart, which was about to jump out of her throat. He comforted, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! The road ahead is getting more and more dangerous. They can¡¯t be in the lead all the time. The surrounding visual environment is not good. We can let your team members go first!¡±


    Lin Yi¡¯s words made sense. After some thought, Ma An felt that it was feasible.


    However, Zhuang Xian did not give him the option to retreat. She stepped on the brakes slightly, and the Ferrari quickly slowed down. Ma An¡¯s car roared and screeched in front of her.


    Ma An was taken aback. He didn¡¯t quite understand what Zhuang Xian was trying to do. From the rearview mirror, he saw the blood-red body of the Ferrari. The next second, the blood-soaked iron beast approached them!


    Lin Yi looked at the car, getting closer and closer to her, and screamed in fear, ¡°Argh! What was this lunatic trying to do? This isn¡¯t a bumper Kart. Is she trying to kill us?¡±


    Raindrops rolled down from the car window. Lin Yi felt that those were her tears. Zhuang Xian was not a regular racer! She was a lunatic!


    If Gao Peng had been here, he would have tried to persuade Ma An to give up resisting. After all, nothing was more important than life!


    Playing with cars was for the thrill of excitement and calculation, not to dance face to face with death, and not to seek death!


    What were faces and women? There¡¯s nothing left when a person dies!


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s forehead was already dripping with sweat when the front of the Ferrari almost kissed Ma An¡¯s car.


    He widened his eyes and pressed his back against the seat behind him. He said in a trembling voice, ¡°Little sister! We need to beat them, not risk our lives! Big brother believes in your skills, so you should restrain yourself. It¡¯s quite scary!¡±


    ¡°Risk your life?¡± Zhuang Xian asked in confusion.

 Chapter 100 - Equal Fame

    1


    ¡°They haven¡¯t reached the point where they need me to risk my life. I want to stimulate them and play tactics with them. To me, this is an individual competition!¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she used the turn in front to approach Ma An and Lin Yi.


    In the pitter-patter of the rain, Zhuang Xian could hear Lin Yi and Ma An¡¯s panicked scolding!


    ¡°Motherf*cker! Is this woman crazy? Who would race like this? Is it moref*cking fragrant when we stick together?¡± Ma An stepped on the brakes in fear. The sound of the car tires kissing the ground was especially ear-piercing in the rainy night!


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s brain had been so tense that he could no longer think about Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. However, he still subconsciously asked, ¡°What did you say? It¡¯s fine! I¡¯m fine, and you can do whatever you want! Blargh!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she turned to look at Zhuang Huai. Her eyes were still filled with excitement. When she saw Zhuang Huai¡¯s pale and uncomfortable expression, she comforted him, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Brother, you have to sit properly.¡±


    ¡® Today, I will take revenge for you in your previous life.¡¯


    Naturally, Zhuang Huai was unaware of Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts. He could only close his eyes tightly and choose to believe in his sister.


    When they reached the mountainside of Er Mountain, the road became more curved and chaotic.


    Ma An was about to go crazy from Zhuang Xian¡¯s continuous teasing. His eyes were bloodshot, and the blood lust and madness in his bones had been stirred up. He swore to fight Zhuang Xian to death.


    Lin Yi¡¯s face was pale, and she was dumbfounded. She clutched onto the safety belt tightly. To her, the belt was no longer an ordinary safety belt but a life-saving rope that could save her life!


    Behind Ma An, there were already many racers. They stuck close to Ma An, blocking Zhuang Xian from the front and the periphery. Almost all of them were Ma An¡¯s team members!


    Of course, this didn¡¯t include Li Feng, who followed them closely.


    Li Feng looked at this group of people¡¯s siege and felt shocked for Zhuang Xian. These people were aiming to kill the boss. That won¡¯t do! Li Feng now felt that the supercar Alliance was perfect, and Zhuang Xian was very much to his liking. He still didn¡¯t want to change his working environment!


    Several street lights on the mountainside had broken down. The headlights of the racing cars entirely illuminated the road. Zhuang Xian was at the front of the first group. This time, not only did she want to win, but she also wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine. She wanted to return all the suffering her third brother had suffered back then to these two disgusting people!


    ¡°Sit tight,¡± Zhuang Xian said in a low voice.


    As soon as she finished speaking, the bloody Ferrari that Zhuang Xian was sitting in swung to the left. The sound of metal colliding and rubbing against each other stimulated Lin Yi and Ma An. At such a high speed, the friction was crazy and exciting!


    Ma An started to dodge Zhuang Xian¡¯s attacks like a madman. His forehead was already covered in sweat.


    When the surrounding cars saw that Ma An was being chased, they immediately stepped on the gas and chased after him. However, they did not dare to directly get close to Zhuang Xian. Everyone was here for money and fame! But what was the point of having money if he lost his life?


    Li Feng slowly followed behind with his wild arrogance. He landed steadily behind Zhuang Xian, like a loyal guardian.


    In fact, from the camera lens of the helicopter in the air, they were just two lunatics, one big and one small, toying with a group of timid little minions!


    This couldn¡¯t even be considered a competition. It was more like bullying.


    The ear-piercing sound of the propeller pierced Si Rong and Xiang Nan¡¯s eardrums. They frowned and looked at the side of the cabin simultaneously. Mo Qian was staring at the red Ferrari below with all his attention.


    If it weren¡¯t for Si Rong and Mo Qian couldn¡¯t hear him, Xiang Nan would have started to express his excitement and agitation!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s driving skills had reached the point of perfection.


    Today, in such a complex track environment, Zhuang Xian could still easily toy with her opponent!


    Er Mountain track, covered in a drizzle, was famous for its tricky turns and terrible blind spots. In addition to the harsh lighting at night, it was a fatal temptation for a racer and a fatal purgatory.


    To others, these might be fatal obstacles, but they were not worth mentioning to Zhuang Xian!


    Zhuang Xian did not know that after tonight, her title of ¡°Phantom of the Er Mountain¡± would be at par with Mo Qian¡¯s title of ¡°Night Shadow¡¯s God of racing,¡± which had been around for years!

 Chapter 101 - Revenge

    Today¡¯s precious video of the race that the organizers recorded would leave a deep mark in City H¡¯s racing history. People would still be able to bring it up and talk about it with great relish after many years.


    The rain in the mountains was getting heavier. It would be hazardous if the helicopter were too close to the ground. Si Rong looked at Mo Qian, who had a grave expression. He took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder.


    Si Rong gestured for Mo Qian to take off the noise-canceling headphones, then yelled at him, ¡°This is too dangerous! There¡¯s a live helicopter streaming at the foot of the mountain. Let¡¯s go down first! Zhuang Xian is so good. We have to have some confidence in her!¡±


    Mo Qian heard Si Rong¡¯s words clearly, and his furrowed brows relaxed a little. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t trust Zhuang Xian, but he was too concerned! If he could not see that Zhuang Xian was safe, he would probably go crazy.


    The helicopter started to shake violently as a strong gust of wind blew. Mo Qian gripped the handle by his side tightly and turned to look at Si Rong. He said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s go down first.¡±


    Si Rong nodded. He turned to the pilot in the front cabin and gestured for them to return to the foot of Mount Er.


    The pilot understood, turned on the helicopter¡¯s headlights, and went straight down the mountain.


    The light illuminated Zhuang Xian¡¯s car window on the left. She turned her head to the rearview mirror and saw that the helicopter following them had left.


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s face was pale as he clutched the handle of the chair in his hand tightly. He whispered to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Little sister! The rain is getting heavier, so let¡¯s end this quickly. Stop teasing them! Blargh. ¡±


    From Zhuang Xian¡¯s smooth display of her skills, Zhuang Huai could already tell she was teasing Ma An and Lin Yi.


    The younger sister was bold because she was skilled. She didn¡¯t care about the competition at all. She just wanted to fight Ma An and Lin Yi to death!


    Zhuang Huai tried to imagine Lin Yi and Ma An¡¯s mental breakdown. He had goosebumps all over his body. No wonder his sister was so confident at the top of the mountain. She had planned this all along. She was confident and did not panic! It was just that he, who was with her, suffered!


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at Zhuang Huai, who was pained. Her tightly knitted brows relaxed as she said, ¡°They bullied and harmed you. I¡¯m going to take revenge for you!¡±


    1


    ¡°Little sister, listen to big brother! We need to win against Ma An, and Lin Yi will have to abide by the bet and leave the production team! I¡¯ll have achieved my goal in this competition!¡± Zhuang Huai looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s cold and calm side profile and hurriedly explained, ¡°It¡¯s enough that we win against them. There¡¯s no need to make it so exciting! Safety is the most important.¡±


    Zhuang Huai was probably really scared out of his wits. To think he could hear the words ¡®safety is the most important coming out of a racing fanatic¡¯s mouth! If other people heard this, they would probably laugh at him for being a sharkman.


    How could Zhuang Xian not understand Zhuang Huai¡¯s meaning? She was just angry and unwilling to accept this.


    Looking at the cars slowly approaching them from all directions, Zhuang Xian¡¯s lips curled into a smirk. She snorted and said, ¡°You can¡¯t blame me for this! They¡¯re the ones who want to die.¡±


    Racing was an extreme sport. When you sit in the driver¡¯s seat and put your hands on the steering wheel, you should have thought about the possibility that you might not be able to get out of the car.


    Life and death could be decided in an instant. Should you move forward or retreat?


    Zhuang Xian moved forward and quickly broke away from the car¡¯s blockade. The steering wheel in her hands seemed to have become some sharp weapon that sealed her throat when she saw blood.


    The two cars trying to stick to the Ferrari started moving left and right, trying to catch up. Zhuang Xian turned the steering wheel slightly to the left, and the Ferrari¡¯s indestructible body directly pushed the car out! The road was wet and slippery on a rainy day. The car¡¯s tires did not grip the ground properly, and the front of the car turned sharply. The car¡¯s body was thrown forward, hitting the fence on the side of the road!


    This scene looked like they were filming a big production movie.


    No, that¡¯s not right! They didn¡¯t dare to shoot a movie like this. The people in the racing cars were all living people!


    The car that Zhuang Xian was driving now was a top-class racing car that was priceless and not something that a movie director would dare to trample on! Mo Qian was rich, while Zhuang Xian was willful. When these two lunatics got together, they were so bold and presumptuous!


    Li Feng fell behind Zhuang Xian and helped her block the cars trying to rush up. Zhuang Xian understood the intention of the car, but she didn¡¯t know who was sitting in it. She raised her eyebrows slightly, chuckled, and then didn¡¯t care.


    Ma An stepped on the accelerator with all his might, gritting his teeth as he glared at the red Ferrari.

 Chapter 102 - Show Off Your Skills

    As though he couldn¡¯t take it anymore, Ma An turned to look at Lin Yi and scolded, ¡°Where the F*ck did you offend this lunatic? Are you trying to kill me on purpose? Is my fleet going to be completely defeated by her today? This crazy woman!¡±


    Lin Yi was frightened by Ma An¡¯s cruelty, and tears of grievance flowed down from the corners of her eyes. How could she have known that Zhuang Xian was a skilled driver who didn¡¯t care about anything?


    Ma An¡¯s mighty convoy had failed to gain any advantage over her.


    After the car had crashed into the fence, it was in the middle of the road. Some of the cars following behind could not avoid it in time and crashed into the car! This scene was highly explosive at this moment, and the ear-piercing sound of collision was endless.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Ma An was furious. After a loud shout, he directly pushed against Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was cold as she slowly stepped on the brakes. The Ferrari¡¯s superior and terrifying performance and grip helped Zhuang Xian to push Ma An¡¯s car against the rear of the car.


    Li Feng saw this scene and stuck to Ma An¡¯s car without hesitation!


    By the time Ma An had a bad premonition, he was already sandwiched by Zhuang Xian and Li Feng on the left lane. The front of his racing car was pressed against the Ferrari¡¯s rear light, and Li Feng¡¯s racing car was on his right.


    The sound of rain accompanied the ear-piercing screech of friction. After a loud crash, Ma An¡¯s car was forced into the mountain Valley on the left side of the track by the racing cars in front and on his right!


    However, not far ahead was the finish line of the race track. As the front of the Ferrari lit up with fire, Zhuang Xian drove the red Ferrari past the finish line!


    Li Feng followed closely behind.


    Mo Qian and the others were waiting in the buffer zone of the racing car in the distance. His eyes were gentle as he looked at the Ferrari that drifted and came to a steady stop.


    The surprise and cheers seemed to break the world, and the rain woven by the dense thread could not resist or wear down the enthusiasm of this group of people!


    ¡°F*ck! This lady was too terrifying! What kind of a peerless racing genius was this? What¡¯s her background?¡±


    ¡°Which racing driver is she? How come I¡¯ve never seen her before?¡±


    ¡°Today is Boss Ma and his team¡¯s home ground! That¡¯s such a big slap in the face. How is Ma An going to survive in the racing world?¡±


    ¡°Is Ma An dead? This is too exciting!¡±


    ¡°He didn¡¯t die! I¡¯m watching! Ma An and his celebrity girlfriend were brought out! That woman is crying for her father and mother!¡±


    ¡°Absolutely! The car was in such a state, but the people were fine. This luck is unparalleled!¡±


    ¡°If he¡¯s not dead, is it considered a minor injury? You guys make it sound too easy! I think he¡¯s most likely crippled!¡±


    While discussing, Mo Xi had already surrounded Zhuang Xian with his men. He blocked off all the people who wanted to see the new car ¡®God.¡¯


    The God of racing born in Er Mountain tonight was the stunning and unruly Red Phantom!


    Mo Xi was holding a big black umbrella in his hand. He quickly stepped forward and covered Zhuang Xian¡¯s head with it. He said in a low and respectful voice, ¡°Young Master has prepared some clean clothes for fourth miss and young master Zhuang Huai in the camper van in front. I¡¯ll take you there!¡±


    Mo Xi said as he reached out to take Zhuang Huai from Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands.


    Zhuang Huai had never felt so good to be on solid ground before. When he climbed out of the car, he didn¡¯t even care about his dignity as a celebrity. He knelt and bowed deeply, hugging the solid and heavy ground. He loved the feeling of surviving a disaster.


    When Zhuang Xian came over to help him, the rain drenched them. He didn¡¯t even hear what Zhuang Xian had said. He threw up on the ground.


    It was a good thing that Zhuang Xian did not despise him.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the situation around her and accepted Mo Qian¡¯s help. She fastened her hat and nodded, ¡°Thank you. Please help my brother find a doctor first.¡±


    Mo Xi looked at the haggard and pale Zhuang Huai and nodded respectfully. ¡°Yes, fourth miss!¡±


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s appearance was very pitiful, but it didn¡¯t stop him from laughing.


    Mo Xi looked at Zhuang Huai, who was being carried over and was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He hurriedly asked, ¡°What is this? Didn¡¯t he arrive safely? Zhuang Huai is injured?¡±


    Zhuang Huai lifted his head weakly and looked at Xiang Nan and Mo Qian. He said softly, ¡°I¡¯m just carsick. Sorry to make you laugh!¡±


    ¡°Pfft! Hahahaha, Zhuang Huai, you¡¯re carsick? Racing? You¡¯ve been in the racing world for so many years. Have you been doing it for nothing?¡±

 Chapter 103 - . Carsick

    Xiang Nan couldn¡¯t control himself and laughed out loud. Perhaps he also felt he was being too unkind, so he immediately stopped smiling and looked at Zhuang Huai apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, brother, I didn¡¯t mean it! However, this is too ridiculous!¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at Xiang Nan angrily, but then he smiled bitterly. He would never ride in his sister¡¯s car again.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian, wrapped in a large bath towel, and said gently, ¡°You should go in and change your clothes! Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him and shook her head, ¡°No need, we¡¯ll go back and change. Send someone down to look at the situation. I can¡¯t show my face.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at her and smiled. ¡°Do I need you to tell me that? I¡¯ve already asked Mo Xi to go. We¡¯ll know the situation in a while.¡±


    Mo Qian had just finished speaking when Mo Xi pushed the door open and came in. Mo Qian glanced at Mo Xi, indicating for him to speak directly.


    Mo Xi nodded and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Ma An and Lin Yi¡¯s lives aren¡¯t in danger. They¡¯re just seriously injured and have been sent to the hospital! Don¡¯t worry, fourth miss. I¡¯ve already sent people to follow her. Lin Yi won¡¯t have the chance to say anything, and we¡¯ve already dealt with the people at the scene. No one will know who the Phantom of the Er Mountain is today!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Mo Xi¡¯s words, she turned her head to look at Mo Qian. She knew Mo Qian had instructed him to do this, which was why Mo Xi had put so much effort into it.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was a little complicated. This was the first time she didn¡¯t have to deal with these things herself! Mo Qian was meticulous.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Zhuang Xian said to Mo Qian sincerely.


    Mo Qian smiled slightly and didn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°What¡¯s the market value of your car? I¡¯ll compensate you.¡± Zhuang Xian asked again when she saw that Mo Qian was not speaking.


    After letting her drive the Ferrari, it was almost completely scrapped. It was impossible to repair it, so it was better to compensate Mo Qian promptly! Zhuang Xian thought to herself.


    Mo Qian raised his brows slightly and smiled at Zhuang Xian. Before he could finish his sentence, Si Rong chuckled and interrupted him.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never thought of asking anyone for the things that Mo Qian has given away!¡± Si Rong couldn¡¯t bear to watch the two dawdle any longer and interrupted, ¡°He has plenty of money! Since we¡¯re all friends, you don¡¯t have to be so civil with him!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian frowned and said in disagreement, ¡°This matter shouldn¡¯t be settled like this. Let¡¯s separate this matter from other matters!¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get Mo Xi to send you the price when I get back.¡± Mo Qian didn¡¯t dwell on this issue with Zhuang Xian and readily agreed.


    Si Rong looked at him in surprise. He had not expected Mo Qian to say this. Shouldn¡¯t he show off his immense power as President Mo now? What was a Ferrari worth to hundreds of millions?


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression softened, and she nodded in agreement. This was for the best. She didn¡¯t want to owe Mo Qian such a big favor, and she was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t be able to pay him back in the future.


    The doctor examined Zhuang Huai in the inner room of the luxurious RV. He drank a few sips of water, took his medicine, and rested for a while. When he felt much better, he came out.


    ¡°We can go back to the hotel now. I feel tonight¡¯s entertainment news will be very explosive.¡± Zhuang Huai said with a smile, but his eyes revealed a few rays of fierceness.


    To prevent Lin Yi from coming up with any more tricks, Zhuang Huai decided to take the initiative this time.


    At eleven o¡¯clock at night, several hot searches suddenly appeared on the entertainment news list. The content was all about Zhuang Huai and Lin Yi¡¯s movie shooting. Of course, there was also the latest news: Breaking news of Lin Yi and her sponsor participating in a car race, unfortunately getting into a car accident and ending up in the hospital!


    ¡°Lin Yi and Zhuang Huai¡¯s movie officially starts filming today!¡±


    ¡°Lin Yi is at odds with me! The two of them started arguing at the opening ceremony!¡±


    ¡°Zhuang Huai is cursing!¡±


    ¡°Explode! Lin Yi is injured!¡±


    ¡°Explode! Lin Yi and a listed entertainment company¡¯s boss were injured in an outdoor car race! They were sent to the hospital half an hour ago! For more details, please click!¡±


    ¡°Explode! The production team of ¡®Cloud of doubt¡¯ clarified the situation: This car accident was caused by Lin Yi alone and had nothing to do with the crew!¡±


    ¡°Cloud of doubt¡± film crew will be changing the candidate for the female lead role!¡±


    Zhuang Xian was leaning against the railing of the hotel¡¯s balcony, holding her phone in her hand as she read the entertainment news. She looked at some of the trending posts and searches that were hyped up by the marketing accounts, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

 Chapter 104 - . Considerate

    Zhuang Xian was disgusted by these money-grubbing, nonsense-spewing, immoral news maggots!


    Therefore, when she was analyzing, she asked everyone to speak with the facts and be an objective news person instead of going with the flow and conspiring with the current impetuous and snobbish ¡®news person.¡¯


    This was also one of the reasons why her ¡®golden pen head¡¯ identity could stand tall and have such strong appeal!


    Yan An was a clear stream in the news industry.


    Her brother¡¯s management team was very efficient in doing things. This kind of foresight to quickly grasp the trend of public opinion into their own hands was very good!


    Public opinion was a double-edged sword.


    When used well, it was a good sword that could bring him popularity, fame, and benefits. But when it was not used well, a sharp blade was inserted into his chest, causing him to be drowned by the netizens¡¯ saliva even faster and quickly fall into a low!


    The trending searches about Zhuang Huai were probably Lin Yi¡¯s management company¡¯s wishful thinking of trying to frame Zhuang Huai!


    It wasn¡¯t easy for them to still think of fishing in troubled waters. After all, Lin Yi was still in the hospital with unknown injuries!


    Just as Zhuang Xian was getting bored, someone knocked on her door.


    She switched off her phone and walked over to open the door. When she saw Zhuang Huai at the door, Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t surprised at all. She called out, ¡°Third brother, come in and sit.¡±


    Zhuang Huai lifted the thermal food container with his left hand and gestured for Zhuang Xian to look over. He pursed his lips and said in a weird tone, ¡°President Mo is so considerate. He even asked someone to send you some ginger soup and snacks so late at night. Are you afraid that I¡¯ll starve you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, ¡°He got someone to send it over? When was that?¡±


    ¡°Just now, Mo Xi was standing at the door of your room. After I bumped into him, he handed it to me. He said that the old Auntie in the village was very good at making ginger soup. It was cold in the rain in the mountains at night, so he drank it to prevent himself from catching a cold! I touched it, and it was still hot!¡± As Zhuang Huai spoke, he stuffed the food box in his hands into Zhuang Xian¡¯s arms and slipped into her room in his slippers.


    Zhuang Xian hugged the heavy and warm lunchbox, not knowing how to react. Mo Qian¡¯s concern was always so meticulous and aggressive.


    On returning to the hotel, Mo Qian didn¡¯t invite Zhuang Xian to stay in his Manor again. He was probably worried that the incident in the afternoon would make things difficult for Zhuang Xian.


    The price list of the Ferrari that had been scrapped sent by Mo Xi was also Mo Qian¡¯s gentleness.


    With Zhuang Xian¡¯s secret identity, she would not lack this amount of money. Mo Qian accepted Zhuang Xian¡¯s compensation so readily because he cared for her feelings.


    Mo Qian seemed to know Zhuang Xian very well. He knew she was not a woman who would blindly rely on others. Zhuang Xian had her own independent and tough side!


    As for Mo Qian, he needed to recognize this and give appropriate respect and concern. That would be enough!


    He seemed to have been enlightened in an instant.


    A certain someone¡¯s gentlemanly actions and careful consideration made Zhuang Xian¡¯s closed heart stir. A graceful ¡®old man¡¯ was the most deadly because they knew how to judge the situation and identify the target¡¯s weakness before attacking and hitting it in one blow!


    Zhuang Xian sat on the sofa opposite Zhuang Huai and opened the lunchbox. As expected, the slightly spicy smell of ginger soup rushed into her nose.


    Zhuang Xian also poured a bowl for Zhuang Huai and handed it to him. Only then did Zhuang Huai shut his mouth in satisfaction.


    ¡°It¡¯s not bad, and it¡¯s delicious!¡± Zhuang Huai complimented. Looking at the steaming hot ginger soup, Zhuang Huai asked curiously, ¡°But what¡¯s your relationship with President Mo? You¡¯re still young, don¡¯t be fooled by him!¡±


    1


    Zhuang Xian took a sip, and her heart felt warm. She raised her eyes and glared at Zhuang Huai. ¡°Hurry up and drink it. This can¡¯t even shut your mouth.¡±


    ¡°Little sister! I realized you¡¯ve been getting fiercer and fiercer towards me these days. Why? Does third brother not treat you well?¡± Zhuang Huai protested.


    Zhuang Xian ignored Zhuang Huai¡¯s protests and complaints. Without lifting her head, she said, ¡°Hurry up and drink it. After you¡¯re done, go to bed. I think you still have things to do at the production team tomorrow!¡±


    Alright! His sister still loved him, but it was mainly in her actions. She didn¡¯t express it verbally. He could understand. Zhuang Huai consoled himself after hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s words.

 Chapter 105 - Warmth

    The feeling of sitting face to face with his family and drinking soup was very warm and comfortable. Zhuang Huai sighed in comfort before saying, ¡°Actually, I came to find you because I have something else to ask you!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she raised her head and looked at him. ¡°What?¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at his sister¡¯s fair and tender face and reached to pinch it. ¡°I wanted to ask why your racing skills are so good! However, I seemed to have figured it out when I thought about your living environment and your stubborn personality!¡±


    He let go of Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and said in a warm and loving voice, ¡°You didn¡¯t have an easy life in the past, so it¡¯s not surprising that you have some skills! I hope you can rely on your family more in the future, okay? Don¡¯t always be so reckless. You have family and friends. You have to think about yourself. Safety is most important!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her brother, who was trying to persuade her, and her lips curved into a smile. ¡°I understand, brother. I will be more careful in the future.¡±


    1


    Zhuang Huai nodded and dusted his hands. He stood up and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll be leaving! Rest well, isn¡¯t Mo Qian bringing you to the amusement park tomorrow? It would be a waste not to take advantage of this free deal!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him helplessly and did not say anything. However, Zhuang Huai understood what she meant. He raised his hand in surrender. ¡°Alright, alright, alright! I won¡¯t talk about him anymore. I¡¯m going back to sleep!¡±


    As Zhuang Huai spoke, he turned around and walked away from Zhuang Xian. Two seconds later, he turned back and looked at Zhuang Xian with a strange and curious expression. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re so good at driving. Did you participate in some black market racing? I heard that it¡¯s brutal and violent! You¡¯re amazing. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, you must teach big brother a few moves! I don¡¯t expect to reach your level, but I want to be able to show off in front of my friends! ¡®God of racing¡¯, you understand!¡±


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    Her brother¡¯s thoughts were too erratic, and he could make too many connections. What should she do? What should she do when her brother talks too much? Zhuang Xian thought in a slightly agitated manner.


    Seeing the door slam shut, Zhuang Huai returned to his senses and muttered to himself, ¡°It¡¯s over. Younger sister seems to be unhappy again!¡±


    At this time, at the entrance of a private hospital in the city, the cars of entertainment reporters had already surrounded the place.


    Lin Yi¡¯s injuries weren¡¯t as severe as Ma An¡¯s. She was even brought to the hospital while conscious. Her injured right torso was helping her recall the scary scene just now. Lin Yi didn¡¯t know that tonight¡¯s car accident would directly bury her for the rest of her life.


    ¡°Lin Yi¡¯s disfigured!¡±


    ¡°Lin Yi¡¯s manager is in tears at the operating room entrance!¡±


    ¡°Lin Yi took the upper hand by unspoken rules!¡±


    ¡°Lin Yi studio¡¯s staff beat up a reporter!¡±


    ¡°Lin Yi gets out of the entertainment industry!¡±


    The name ¡®Lin Yi¡¯ appeared on the trending list as if it was free that night. Lin Yi had never been so famous before!


    However, this red was like the final burning of fireworks. It seemed brilliant in people¡¯s eyes for a moment, but it had to be paid for within a lifetime.


    The cycle of the heavenly Dao, karma, Zhuang Huai¡¯s past life¡¯s pain, Zhuang Xian wanted Lin Yi and Ma An to have a taste of it in this life.


    As Ma An wasn¡¯t from the entertainment industry, entertainment reporters and marketing figures didn¡¯t dare to mess with him openly, leading Lin Yi to fall even faster.


    At this moment, Ye Xin, who was at home looking at all the negative news about Lin Yi, was utterly shocked. What exactly was going on? Why did Lin Yi suddenly act like someone else? It was as if the black materials and hot searches were free!


    Ye Xin tried to call her many times and sent her many messages, but they all seemed to have sunk into the sea. It was impossible to use any tools to contact Lin Yi at this time!


    Lin Yi¡¯s management company must have immediately cut off all her information channels!


    Judging from public opinion, Lin Yi was probably crippled.


    Ye Xin was distraught because she and Lin Yi used to be very good friends. However, since Lin Yi dropped out of school and said that she would become a big star in the entertainment industry, their relationship had slowly faded.


    Ye Xin was distraught to see her good friend¡¯s rising dream of becoming a celebrity suddenly shattered. No matter what happens tomorrow, she should at least visit Lin Yi at the hospital and comfort her.

 Chapter 106 - . Li Feng

    Although it was already midnight, the bustling City H was still full of life.


    There was a lot of noise at the lively and noisy barbecue stall on the street. Li Feng impatiently pushed away the wine his companions brought to his mouth. Once there were too many people, he would feel noisy and irritated.


    The man who was pushed away by Li Feng was not happy. He put his hand on Li Feng¡¯s shoulder and disapprovingly, ¡°I say, what¡¯s wrong with you, crazy? Everyone came out happily because they wanted to help you celebrate the huge bonus you received this time! You¡¯ve been putting on a cold face since the beginning. Did someone offend you?¡±


    ¡°Yup! Ever since the competition ended, I¡¯ve noticed that he¡¯s out of it. Why? Did your soul fall into the Er Mountain?¡± Another man sitting beside Li Feng asked.


    Li Feng looked at them indifferently. He raised his glass and took a sip of beer. A depressed expression appeared on his face.


    ¡°Hey, I heard that Ma An and the organizers are giving out quite a lot of money this time! How many are there? Why do you look so depressed after winning money? Is it because the first place was snatched by that woman who suddenly appeared, so you¡¯re feeling uncomfortable?¡± His companion tried to guess the reason for Li Feng¡¯s bad mood. When he thought of that godly woman, he couldn¡¯t help but feel apprehensive.


    ¡°Where do you think this woman came from? Ma An¡¯s team was strong, but none came down from the Er Mountain in one piece! I heard that Ma An is still in the hospital. He can¡¯t be dead, right?¡±


    ¡°I heard that the car goddess was invited by that big star Zhuang Huai! His goal was to eliminate Lin Yi, who was in the same production team as him. Tsk tsk tsk, the things in the entertainment industry are much more complicated than those in our racing industry! I can¡¯t say for sure.¡±


    ¡°Did you guys see the Entertainment News tonight? Lin Yi¡¯s studio and Zhuang Huai¡¯s management company are having a heated discussion online! It¡¯s a great show!¡±


    As the man spoke, he took out his phone and was about to show the news to others.


    Li Feng had been silently enduring their noisy discussion. When he heard them talking about Zhuang Xian, he threw the glass in his hand away, and his unruly brows were filled with coldness. ¡°Are you done? Can¡¯t you guys stuff your mouths with food? What does it have to do with you, who they are, and what they do? What does it matter to you whether I win or lose? You¡¯re so annoying!¡±


    His sudden scolding stunned the men around him. Wasn¡¯t this a topic everyone casually thought of when eating and drinking? How could they have offended Li Feng for no reason? It was as if they had stepped on his weak spot!


    ¡°You ¡­ Drank too much? Are you drunk? Wasn¡¯t everyone having a casual chat? What¡¯s the matter with you?¡± His companion asked in a puzzled and warm voice.


    Li Feng glanced at him and suddenly sighed, feeling conflicted. He couldn¡¯t tell them about the matter that he was depressed about!


    Why did Boss want to participate in such a competition? What was her relationship with Zhuang Huai? Why was she taking his place in the competition? Since she had already participated in the competition, why did she have to go into hiding and not attend the award ceremony later on? Did she even leave directly?


    What was the Boss trying to do? Her aggressive appearance on the field didn¡¯t seem like she was low profile! She wouldn¡¯t be angry with him for helping her so openly, would she? So, did she realize that he had helped her?


    Li Feng¡¯s mind was filled with all these questions. His sharp brows were locked together, and there was an inexplicable depression in his heart.


    He didn¡¯t know why he was so frustrated. It couldn¡¯t be because Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t even look back at him when he crossed the finish line with her!


    This kind of feeling was uncomfortable.


    Lin En felt that in the two days that her precious daughter and youngest son were not at home, the house had returned to its former cold and cheerless feeling. Fewer people in the house could talk to her, and there were not many people at the dining table. She could not even eat in high spirits.


    Zhuang Ming looked at his wife, who was suddenly depressed, and shook his head helplessly.


    Recently, Zhuang Xian had been by her side. This time, she had been gone for two days and was not used to it. However, she was his wife, and Zhuang Ming still doted on her.


    He immediately decided to take a two-day break and take his wife to the suburbs to play with his precious daughter!


    Lin En held Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand as they strolled around the Amusement Park with a smile

 Chapter 107 - . Uncle

    This was the first time Zhuang Xian had seen such a large-scale entertainment facility. She looked at the huge Ferris wheel above her and thought deeply.


    Lin En turned around and saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s cute expression of serious thinking. Her slightly furrowed brows and puzzled eyes revealed her confusion.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, baby? You want to play this?¡± Lin En looked at her and asked with concern.


    Mo Qian and Xiang Nan followed behind the group of people, looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back with a relaxed expression. Occasionally, they would chat with Zhuang Ming.


    Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin En severely. She asked, ¡°So, this large amusement park is not only for children? The adults can play, too, right?¡±


    Lin En did not expect Zhuang Xian to ask such a question suddenly. She was stunned for a moment before she responded, ¡°That¡¯s right, many of the activities in the amusement park are open to adults! Xian¡¯ er, you ¡­¡±


    Lin En asked. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she frowned and asked in a pitiful tone, ¡°Baby, have you never been to an amusement park before?¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded when she heard Lin En¡¯s words. ¡°I only went there once when I was very young. I have a little impression of it.¡±


    It was ridiculous. Zhuang Xian had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time she had entered such a large amusement park.


    She had lived two lives, but they had been quite dull. Besides the moment of joy and relaxation in the Zhuang family, she had never really experienced complete happiness.


    In her previous life, she had been deceived and used by her biological parents and sister in every way possible. Even the lover she thought she could spend the rest of her life with was a scoundrel and liar!


    Adding up her past and current life, it had already been a few decades, but Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart had never been at ease.


    In her past life, she was so stupid that she only wanted to seek the love of her flesh and blood and neglected the Zhuang family, who cared about her and loved her.


    In this life, she had sworn an oath that she would protect the Zhuang family with her life and repay them.


    Being in the situation, Zhuang Xian could not fully understand the situation.


    Ever since she was reborn, many things have changed. The power of the butterfly effect was immense, and a slight change could affect the whole. In the dark, she had also gained many people who truly loved her, such as the old man and Li Qin, her master and senior brothers of Saint Valley Medicine, and even the great elder Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian had already become the most significant difference between her current and previous life. She didn¡¯t even know him at this time in her previous life! Not to mention, she had a dispute with him.


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming were not stupid people. They only needed to think for a moment to understand why Zhuang Xian had never visited the amusement park.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian with pity and said warmly, ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? We¡¯ll play with you to our heart¡¯s content today!¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled, and her big eyes brightened up in an instant. Clinging to the past would only trap her. What she needed to do was to keep moving forward, settle the debts and grudges, and live a brilliant life.


    Ms. Lin, who always kept to her word, pulled Zhuang Xian along to explore all the facilities in the amusement park. Zhuang Ming and Mo Qian followed her all the way, feeling helpless.


    Zhuang Ming watched as Lin En pulled Zhuang Xian back onto the pirate ship. He turned to Mo Qian with a smile and said, ¡°She¡¯s used to being casual, and no one can stop her when she wants to play! President Mo, please don¡¯t take offense.¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled. ¡°What are you talking about, President Zhuang? Mrs. Zhuang is a free and honest person. She¡¯s a rare kind of genuine person. She has taught Zhuang Xian very well!¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he looked at him and suggested with a smile, ¡°We¡¯ve been working together for so long. Why are you still so distant and polite? How about this, Chief Zhuang? You¡¯re a year younger than my father, so you¡¯re considered my senior. I¡¯ll call you uncle from now on.¡±


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t show it on his face, but his heart was already filled with joy. For Mo Qian to call him ¡®uncle¡¯, how much face did he have?


    In this way, wouldn¡¯t he be calling Mo Qian¡¯s father his brother? This was a good thing.


    Zhuang Ming laughed heartily and didn¡¯t decline. ¡°Sure! Since President Mo is willing to call me uncle, we are a family now! I wish us happy cooperation.¡±

 Chapter 108 - Dessert Masters Time

    Zhuang Ming reacted momentarily, feeling that he had said something wrong. However, when he saw Mo Qian¡¯s calm and relaxed expression, he threw this strange feeling back into his mind.


    Zhuang Xian came out of the e-Sports Zone after playing one round. Her little face was red, and she looked thrilled. Mo Qian handed her the drink in his hand and said softly, ¡°Take a sip. You¡¯re hot.¡±


    Zhuang Xian reached out to take it and thanked him. When she was about to turn around to look at her mother, Zhuang Ming was already holding her bag. He was helping her wipe her sweat and wringing a water bottle. He was highly attentive.


    Zhuang Xian and Xiang Nan didn¡¯t know what to say.


    ¡°Sister Xian, your parents sure are close! We¡¯ve had quite a lot of dog food today.¡± Xiang Nan joked in a low voice.


    Zhuang Xian looked at him from the side and chuckled. ¡°It¡¯ll be fine once you get used to it,¡±


    Mo Qian looked at the time on his watch and suggested to Zhuang Xian gently, ¡°It¡¯s almost 6 O¡¯clock. You guys must be hungry after playing for a day. I¡¯ve booked a private room in the restaurant. Let¡¯s hurry over.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded slightly. ¡°Alright.¡±


    ¡°As expected of you, brother Qian. You were able to book a private room in this restaurant just because you said so! Amazing.¡± Xiang Nan said in surprise, ¡°Eh? We¡¯ll still have to head towards the city on the way there. Should we call Zhuang Huai and Si Rong along?¡±


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming also heard Mo Qian¡¯s suggestion and took two steps toward him.


    When Lin En heard Xiang Nan mention Zhuang Huai, she suddenly remembered her youngest son, who had been forgotten the entire day. She looked at Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°Has your third brother already started filming today? They had found another female lead for their movie so quickly? They¡¯re pretty efficient.¡±


    Zhuang Xian thought about the message Zhuang Huai had sent her and said to Lin en, ¡°I guess it hasn¡¯t started yet. The production team should be busy with Lin Yi¡¯s contract termination. Third brother must be tired from following them around the whole day, let¡¯s call him. ¡±


    Lin En nodded in agreement.


    Lin En was already immune to Zhuang Huai¡¯s appearance on the previous night¡¯s hot search. After all, this was something that couldn¡¯t be avoided. It was easy to attract jealousy when one was outstanding, and it wasn¡¯t easy to be a big star!


    After Xiang Nan finished asking, he kept looking at Mo Qian. Mo Qian explained, ¡°Si Rong was called back to the hospital in the afternoon. They said that there was an emergency operation.¡±


    Xiang Nan seemed to have guessed it. He rolled his eyes slightly. ¡°I knew it. But why didn¡¯t he tell me before he left?¡±


    ¡°You were sleeping like a pig. Who can wake you up?¡± Mo Qian spat out the truth.


    This kind of ridicule was often the most fatal.


    Xiang Nan choked and didn¡¯t say anything else because what Mo Qian said was true.


    After watching such a great car race last night, Xiang Nan was so excited that he fell asleep late. As a result, he woke up at 11 am and came to the Amusement Park in a daze.


    It was no wonder he didn¡¯t know that Si Rong had already returned. He didn¡¯t even remember having such a friend when he was having so much fun at the amusement park. To think that he remembered Si Rong when they were having dinner-at least he had some conscience. However, it didn¡¯t seem like much!


    At 7 pm, The restaurant in City H was still packed with people. The first floor was where the ordinary guests sat and ate. The higher one went, the more expensive the seats were and the more distinguished the guests were.


    A well-mannered waiter led the group to a private room on the ninth floor. Xiang Nan found a place to sit down with a calm expression and even invited Zhuang Xian to join him.


    Lin En glanced at Mo Qian with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been here before, but that was many years ago. It¡¯s getting better and better now.¡±


    Zhuang Ming nodded and chimed in with a smile, ¡°Yup! It¡¯s mealtime now, so the only person who could book this private room between us is Mo Qian!¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and sat down beside Xiang Nan.


    After spending so much time with him, Zhuang Xian felt that only Xiang Nan was more straightforward and honest among Mo Qian¡¯s friends. Si Rong was brilliant, and intelligent people often did not become friends!


    ¡°A while ago, I heard from a friend that an excellent pastry chef has recently come to the restaurant. I don¡¯t know if she¡¯s Shire. I was once fortunate enough to eat her desserts, and I wanted to swallow my tongue!¡± As Xiang Nan spoke, his eyes glowed as if he had recalled the delicious taste.

 Chapter 109 - Crazy Woman

    ¡°I¡¯ve never had such delicious western desserts before. Shire is indeed the master of desserts in F Country! ¡± Seeing that everyone was looking at him with interest, Xiang Nan added.


    Hearing Xiang Nan mention the pastry. Mo Qian subconsciously looked at Zhuang Xian beside him.


    Zhuang Xian was an expert at making desserts. He had always liked the sweet but not greasy desserts that Zhuang Xian made.


    Mo Qian¡¯s interest was piqued, and he asked, ¡°Is this Shire French?¡±


    Xiang Nan shook his head, ¡°No way! I don¡¯t know the details, but I know it should be a woman.¡±


    ¡°Our Xian¡¯er¡¯s pastry is also very delicious. Mo Qian, haven¡¯t you tried it a few times?¡± Zhuang Ming looked at Mo Qian with a faint smile, ¡°You even said it was delicious! Do you still remember? You were the one who cleared out all the food boxes I brought to the company! Hahaha, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone who loves pastries as much as I do!¡±


    Mo Qian was slightly stunned. He didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Ming to bring this up so directly. It seemed a little awkward!


    Mo Xi looked at the young master¡¯s stunned expression. He lowered his head and smiled in amusement. He knew it. President Zhuang must have known. How could President Zhuang not know that a few pieces of pastries were missing from the lunchbox?


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian in surprise. She had no idea about this. Did Mo Qian like to eat desserts too?


    Under Zhuang Xian¡¯s curious gaze, Mo Qian cleared his throat uncomfortably. ¡°Yes, Zhuang Xian¡¯s cooking skills are indeed not bad.¡±


    As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Mo Xi. ¡°Go see why the appetizer hasn¡¯t been served after so long.¡±


    Mo Xi lowered his head respectfully. He thought bitterly in his heart that he had just sneaked a smile, and the young master could even notice it. His eyesight was getting better and better, but his mouth had already respectfully replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s take it slowly.¡± Lin En said with a smile, raising her hand to pour Mo Qian a cup of tea.


    However, as soon as Lin En¡¯s voice fell, the private room door opened, and a few harsh curses came from outside.


    ¡°Zhuang Huai! You¡¯ll die a horrible death. Do you think you can kill me like this? I¡¯m telling you, don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Lin Yi¡¯s assistant grabbed her wrist tightly.


    Her hair was messy, but her expression was fierce as she pointed the finger at Zhuang Huai¡¯s nose and scolded, ¡°You and that B*tch caused Ma An to be in such a terrible state. Do you think the Ma family will let you off? You can wait for their revenge!¡±


    Ye Xin rushed out of the elevator and rushed up. When she saw the Zhuang family, she was stunned.


    ¡®What ¡­ What¡¯s going on? Why are they here? Even Zhuang Xian was here! Aren¡¯t we having a meal together with Zhuang Huai¡¯s crew?¡¯


    Zhuang Huai crossed his arms in front of his chest and smiled at Lin Yi, but there was no kindness in his eyes, ¡°What¡¯s the point of you barking in front of me? Did I cause you to be like this? You only have yourself to blame for this!


    If I were the one who lost last night, you would probably be even more arrogant, right? You must have spent a lot of money on those public relations and announcements to clear your name, right? If someone else takes a picture of you in your current state, you¡¯ll be finished! Don¡¯t you think so?¡±


    As Zhuang Huai spoke, the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at Lin Yi coldly as if he was looking at trash.


    This morning, Lin Yi brought her injuries to the production team and argued with the director. She didn¡¯t agree to the production team replacing her and even supported herself with Ma An¡¯s investment. She went crazy on the production team!


    Zhuang Huai didn¡¯t expect this crazy woman to follow him here. When he was blocked at the private room door, he was outraged.


    Lin Yi thought she was a famous actress! People who didn¡¯t know their limitations were always so funny!


    Right now, she was just a joke in the entertainment industry, and it was the kind that could only be used once! After laughing once, no one would remember her anymore.


    Zhuang Xian and Lin En were standing behind Zhuang Huai. When Lin Yi saw Zhuang Xian, she was so angry that she wanted to eat her alive!


    It was all because of this B*tch!


    If she hadn¡¯t attacked her and Ma An like crazy yesterday, they wouldn¡¯t have gotten into a car accident, and this incident wouldn¡¯t have reached the media!


    She had only wanted Zhuang Huai to back off, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be such a stubborn person.

 Chapter 110 - . Sharp

    Lin Yi did not expect the situation to escalate to such a state. She thought she could continue to enjoy Ma An¡¯s care, but things did not turn out as expected. Ma An was in a difficult situation and was in such a miserable state!


    ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! Why do you have to target Ma An and me? You did it on purpose! You¡¯re crazy!¡± Lin Yi raised her uninjured hand and pointed at Zhuang Xian¡¯s face as she scolded her.


    Mo Qian glanced at Lin Yi and said coldly, ¡°Where do you think this place is? Do you think I¡¯ll let you cause trouble?¡±


    This was Ye Xin¡¯s first time meeting Mo Qian. Her heart was excited, and her intelligent mind quickly began to work.


    She took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Yi, saying to Mo Qian, ¡°Sir, it¡¯s because my friend suddenly suffered such unjust treatment that she wants an explanation from the Zhuang siblings! Only the people involved know what happened yesterday. Us bystanders should stay out of it!¡±


    ¡°Oh? You want to seek justice for Lin Yi?¡± When Zhuang Xian saw Ye Xin, she was like a starving Wolf that had just seen its prey.


    She never knew that Ye Xin had a friend like Lin Yi. What a coincidence!


    Birds of a feather flock together-this saying was indeed true. An overbearing and vain woman like Lin Yi could only be friends with the equally hypocritical and vicious Ye Xin.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were filled with poison, and Ye Xin couldn¡¯t help but shiver.


    She steadied her mind and shouted, ¡°Can¡¯t we seek justice? Your cruelty originally caused this matter. If you want to talk about it, justice and benevolence are on our side! You¡¯ve caused Boss Ma to become like that. We can¡¯t just let this matter go!¡±


    It had to be said that Ye Xin¡¯s mind was quite flexible. She knew that Lin Yi had no chance of winning if they were to argue based on the current situation. The only way to find Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Xian¡¯s weaknesses were to twist the facts and mix the truth and the false.


    Zhuang Xian was well aware of Ye Xin¡¯s ability to quibble. She glanced at Ye Xin and said coldly, ¡°You want justice?¡±


    Zhuang Xian sneered and took a step closer to them. She said sarcastically, ¡°What is justice? Yesterday¡¯s competition was a real competition and not a game! Do you know? Didn¡¯t Ma An sign the life and death contract before the match? Didn¡¯t you sign it? What¡¯s the point of you two quarreling here? It¡¯s just a waste of everyone¡¯s time, understand?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s barrage of questions left Lin Yi dumbfounded. Before they got into the car yesterday, they had indeed signed the organizers¡¯ two forms. She did not pay much attention to what they were at that time!


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ye Xin and asked coldly, ¡°What does this have to do with you? Why are you acting like you¡¯re speaking up for justice? Have you settled your family matters?¡±


    Ye Xin looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes and felt as if there was something deep and scary in them pulling her in. Ye Xin averted her eyes and said, ¡°Fourth Miss Zhuang, your mouth is as sharp as ever! You can even turn black into white. I admire you!


    You¡¯re just relying on Zhuang Huai and Mo Qian to support you! Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you? The Ma family will not let you off!¡± Lin Yi glared at Zhuang Xian with reddened eyes as if she couldn¡¯t feel the terrifying chill coming from Zhuang Xian. She still stubbornly thought that the Ma family was her last line of defense. However, she didn¡¯t know Ma An¡¯s father was scared out of his wits when he discovered that the Zhuang family had the Mo Corporation as their backing.


    If it was just the Zhuang family, he could still come over to make a scene and ask for an explanation. However, Mo Qian was involved in this matter, which was not good!


    Ye Xin let out a long sigh. Lin Yi had been spoiled silly by those rich people for the past few years. She used to be a little smart, but now, she was stuck.


    ¡°It¡¯s just mere Ma family. If I¡¯m afraid, I wouldn¡¯t be competing with you!¡± Zhuang Huai sneered and said, ¡°Who do you think your sugar daddy is? In front of the Zhuang family, Ma An doesn¡¯t even have the right to carry my shoes!¡±


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming did not know the whole story.


    Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai were afraid they would be worried, so they did not tell them about yesterday¡¯s competition at Er Mountain. So, the two parents were still confused, but this did not stop Lin En from protecting her children.

 Chapter 111 - . Protecting The Child

    Lin En stood up and walked to Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. With a mocking smile, she said, ¡°Are the standards for entering the entertainment industry so low these days? Can someone like you be a star?


    Being kept as a mistress, is that something worth circulating? Why does it sound like it¡¯s a matter of course? How are you not ashamed of such a thing and are proud of it instead? What did your mother teach you?¡±


    Lin Yi naturally did not know who Lin En was, but Lin En¡¯s noble and proper aura made her not dare to be too presumptuous. She glared fiercely at the group of people opposite her. ¡°You ¡­ You guys!¡±


    Lin Yi couldn¡¯t find any words to refute Lin En. She was used to being accessible and unrestrained in the entertainment industry, living a life everyone looked up to her. No one dared to educate her like an elder!


    Ye Xin furrowed her brows and looked at Lin Yi indifferently. She knew that things had already reached this stage, and there was no way to end this peacefully. It was even more impossible for Lin Yi to get back her face now!


    Since that was the case, she might as well give up and replace Lin Yi as soon as possible. It was not worth offending a big shot like Mo Qian because of her. However, the final ending had to be more appropriate.


    Ye Xin stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yi¡¯s wrist, and stood in front of her. She took a deep breath and pretended to be sad as she said, ¡°Mrs. Zhuang, you must have read too many articles from those marketing accounts. What right do you have to make such biased remarks about my friend? She and Boss Ma have always been in a serious relationship, and it¡¯s not as embarrassing as the outside world says!


    The outside world misunderstood them and hurt them. Lin Yi couldn¡¯t accept the situation, so she lost control and offended you. I think it¡¯s understandable. That¡¯s all I have to say. I¡¯ll take her away from here now. If she offended you, please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±


    She put on an appropriate righteous look, and her words sounded sincere. If Zhuang Xian had not known what kind of person she was, she would probably have been touched by her righteous and honest words.


    Zhuang Xian followed her line of sight and looked at Mo Qian, standing behind her. She seemed to have understood something, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled sarcastically.


    Ye Xin couldn¡¯t change her mind. She wouldn¡¯t move when she saw an impressive and handsome man.


    Especially when she liked someone else¡¯s boyfriend, the kind of man who was already taken in her past life, Gao Peng was one of them. And now, could it be that she had fallen for Mo Qian?


    Zhuang Huai looked at Ye Xin coldly and said sarcastically, ¡°Just because she can¡¯t accept the truth, she comes and pesters and insults others? It¡¯s enough for the world to have a hypocritical white Lotus like you. Our Zhuang family has always believed that we won¡¯t offend them if people don¡¯t offend us. If people offend us, we¡¯ll pay them back double!


    Lin Yi was like a madman who humiliated my family. Do you think you can get away with it by saying, ¡®I¡¯m sorry? Isn¡¯t that wishful thinking?¡± Zhuang Huai¡¯s eyes were cold as he said this.


    Lin Yi was taken aback. She turned her head and glanced at Ye Xin. She knew Ye Xin had always been bright and would have a way to get her out of here.


    She had been wholly driven mad by the media just now. The blame and pressure from the company had almost killed her. Under the heavy pressure, she had not been able to control herself and had wanted to find Zhuang Huai to vent her anger. Who would have thought that Mo Qian and the Zhuang family would be here? Wasn¡¯t this the same as kicking the enemy¡¯s iron plate?


    Seeing that Ye Xin didn¡¯t say anything, Lin Yi had no choice but to lick her dry lips and say dryly, ¡°You ¡­ What do you want? Are you not thinking of calling the police to arrest me?¡±


    Zhuang Huai laughed as if he was delighted with her suggestion. He slowly nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s a good idea. Have you seen the police station in City H? I¡¯ll let you see it later. ¡±


    After Zhuang Huai finished speaking, he did not even spare her a glance. Mo Qian raised his hand and waved his finger at Mo Xi. Mo Xi nodded in understanding and gestured to the bodyguards at the end of the corridor, indicating they should take her away.


    Lin Yi looked at the bodyguards in black who came over to grab her, and her face turned pale. She wanted to yell at them to let go of her but a hand as hard as steel covered her mouth.

 Chapter 112 - Chapter 112

    The two assistants who had followed Lin Yi over were also pushed aside by the bodyguards!


    Ye Xin stood alone at the side, biting her lips as if she wanted to say something. However, when she saw the stern warning looks of Mo Qian¡¯s bodyguards, her clever brain told her that if she dared to say anything more, she would be detained.


    No matter how much eloquence and pestering, they were all just floating foam that would scatter with a blow. They were of no use at all!


    When the elevator door opened, Lin Yi turned around and glanced at Zhuang Xian. Her eyes were indifferent as if she was looking at a piece of trash. And that piece of trash was her.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ye Xin, standing awkwardly in the corridor. She chuckled and said sarcastically, ¡°Miss Ye, why aren¡¯t you helping your friend? Will your kindness and innocence allow you to abandon your friend like this?¡±


    When she saw Ye Xin looking at her, Zhuang Xian took a step forward and said in a voice that only the two could hear, ¡°Don¡¯t put that innocent and pure look on your face in front of me. I can¡¯t guarantee that I¡¯ll be so kind next time!¡±


    Her face was two fists away from Ye Xin¡¯s shoulder. The words she spoke carried a cold aura, like a frosty chill that burrowed into Ye Xin¡¯s bones in the middle of winter. Ye Xin couldn¡¯t help but shiver.


    Ye Xin took a step back and swallowed her saliva as she looked at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian straightened her body and looked at her indifferently. ¡°One last piece of advice! Stay away from my family and Mo Qian.¡±


    Ye Xin had never been afraid of someone¡¯s gaze before. Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were like bottomless black holes. After staring at them for a long time, her inexplicable sense of fear developed.


    Ye Xin suppressed the pressure and discomfort in her heart and stuttered, ¡°What are you saying? How come I don¡¯t understand a single word? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡±


    She walked away in a panic as she spoke, not even bothering to look at the others.


    Zhuang Huai watched Ye Xin leave in a hurry and asked curiously, ¡°Sister, what did you say to her? Why did she run away as if an evil spirit was coming for her life?¡±


    Zhuang Huai was a good actor. He was a professional in observing and describing human expressions and emotions, so he didn¡¯t think anything was wrong with what he said.


    When Lin En heard what he said, he turned around and glared at him. ¡°What are you saying, you little rascal? By saying that, aren¡¯t you scolding your sister as well?¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Zhuang Xian as she walked back. He turned his head and said, ¡°It hasn¡¯t been long since the Ye group, Ming En, and Mo Group fought. I think Ye Xin is still worried about this matter, which is why she¡¯s so afraid of us.¡±


    Xiang Nan glanced at the expressionless Zhuang Xian, then turned to Zhuang Huai and asked, ¡°How do you think a female celebrity like Lin Yi became friends with the daughter of the Ye family? From the looks of it, Ye Xin cared a lot about her friend, Lin Yi. It¡¯s bizarre!¡±


    Zhuang Huai shook his head. He didn¡¯t know what was going on either, but he didn¡¯t want Lin Yi and Ye Xin to ruin everyone¡¯s good mood for a meal, especially since Mo Qian and his friends were present today.


    He chuckled as he looked at Mo Qian and Xiang Nan and asked gently, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to President Mo that we can eat at the restaurant today. It¡¯s tough to decide their family¡¯s position!¡±


    Lin En followed Zhuang Xian to the dining table and returned to her seat. She smiled and glanced at Zhuang Huai. ¡°You can¡¯t talk about other things, but when it comes to food, you¡¯re full of energy!¡±


    ¡°So what? The world is big, but eating is the most important thing! What is the point of living if one had to suppress their desire for food? Right, little sister?¡± Zhuang Huai¡¯s face was grave and determined. At the end of his sentence, he even turned around, trying to find a sense of acknowledgment from Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°Third brother is right. There¡¯s nothing more important in this world than eating.¡± Zhuang Xian nodded her head and smiled.


    ¡°I also fully agree!¡± Xiang Nan hurriedly answered with a smile. He picked up the menu on the table and suggested to the others, ¡°Although we¡¯ve already ordered, the pastries on the table are tempting. How about I order some desserts for everyone?¡±

 Chapter 113 - You Dropped Your Avatar Again?

    When Lin En and Zhuang Ming heard this, they shook their heads and smiled helplessly. The children and Xiang were excited. They were getting on in years and liked such lively and adorable children.


    Mo Qian retracted his gaze from Zhuang Xian, curved corners of his mouth as he chuckled, ¡°Of course it¡¯s good; you order it.¡±


    He was dazed when he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile. He did not know what the Zhuang family thought of Zhuang Xian, but he felt that she was a little strange.


    Logically speaking, Zhuang Xian and Ye Xin shouldn¡¯t have known each other well. The rivalry between the Ye Corporation and the Zhuang family was limited to business and had nothing to do with Ye Xin and Zhuang Xian. However, judging from Zhuang Xian¡¯s attitude towards Ye Xin, she was so cold and indifferent that it could even be described as hatred! Why was this so?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s attitude towards Lin Yi was much better than Ye Xin¡¯s! Lin Yi had been going against Zhuang Xian since last night and had even verbally abused her.


    However, Zhuang Xian seemed to hate Ye Xin even more, who had appeared out of nowhere and stood up for Lin Yi. This did not make sense.


    Could it be that Zhuang Xian and Ye Xin had a personal grudge against each other that they didn¡¯t know about?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s conversation with Ye Xin earlier didn¡¯t seem right either. It was as if she had been wrapped in an invisible black mist. Her entire being was shrouded in dark gray, and even an unknown hatred surrounded her. She was like a malicious ghost that had crawled out of hell, sending chills down everyone¡¯s spine!


    However, when Mo Qian returned to his senses and looked at Zhuang Xian, he realized that all of those things had disappeared. It had only been a few minutes, but Zhuang Xian seemed to have changed into a different person.


    Zhuang Xian was still unaware that Mo Qian had taken in all the emotions she was hiding.


    As Mo Qian kept staring at her, Zhuang Xian tried to turn back to look at Mo Qian. However, she realized she could not hold on for more than five seconds under Mo Qian¡¯s deep affectionate gaze. Mo Qian¡¯s silent intelligent eyes seemed to be able to see through her.


    Mo Qian only restrained himself slightly after all the delicacies on the table had been served.


    Zhuang Xian quietly heaved a sigh of relief. She had not felt this kind of inexplicable feeling of embarrassment from someone in a long time.


    ¡°Mm! This Kung Pao Chicken was well done! It¡¯s delicious!¡± Xiang Nan took a bite of the food and even wanted to swallow his tongue. He looked at the food on the table with bright eyes and mumbled excitedly.


    There was a reason why the eatery was so famous, and difficult to get a space. Their food was highly authentic and was recognized as the best and most traditional eatery in the entire City H!


    As Zhuang Xian looked at her happy family, the depression in her heart slowly dissipated.


    Mo Qian sat beside Zhuang Xian and picked up a piece of fish for her with ordinary chopsticks. This was Zhuang Xian¡¯s favorite dish among all the dishes. She did not expect Mo Qian to be so meticulous that he could tell she had picked up a few extra times.


    ¡°Indeed! This master¡¯s cooking is amazing. Should we invite him up?¡± Lin En nodded in agreement with Xiang Nan and suggested.


    She didn¡¯t overthink anything else. She wanted to ask him how to cook the steamed bass because Zhuang Xian had picked up that dish many times.


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian turned to look at the assistant behind him.


    The assistant understood and nodded respectfully, ¡°Alright, Mrs. Zhuang. I¡¯ll invite this master up now.¡±


    ¡°AI! Invite the pastry chef who makes western desserts up here. I want to ask if he has the same master as Shire!¡± Xiang Nan added excitedly. He still didn¡¯t let go of the master Shire he had been dreaming of!


    Zhuang Xian tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiang Nan. She was a little depressed and puzzled. Why did Xiang Nan not let go of Shire? She wouldn¡¯t reveal her identity again today.


    Yes, the world-famous pastry chef Xiang Nan had longed for the perfect high-end western pastry Chef selected in Country F was, Zhuang Xian!


    Zhuang Xian did not expect to meet her loyal fan in City H after returning from France. Furthermore, the other party was Mo Qian¡¯s friend! When Xiang Nan first mentioned Shire, she had a bad feeling.


    When Lin En and Zhuang Ming came to the orphanage to pick her up, she had already received an invitation from the restaurant. They wanted to invite Shire over to be the Executive Head Chef of their entire West Point District.

 Chapter 114 - Barely Satisfactory

    In the cooking world of Z Country, receiving an invitation from a restaurant of this level was already the most significant recognition for a chef!


    The chefs in the restaurant included the most elite chefs in the entire Z Country. The reputation of the number one restaurant was not undeserved.


    Even so, they were rejected by the master of West Point, Shire. The reason was that the other party did not want to develop in Z Country yet.


    This was just an excuse that Zhuang Xian had made up. She had been busy reuniting with her family, so how could she have come here to be a head chef?


    Because of this excuse, many people misunderstood that she was from F country and lived in F country all year round. Not long ago, the restaurant had used the excuse of hiring Shire to be their head chef to create a lot of attractive gimmicks!


    And Xiang Nan was one of the ¡®victims¡¯.


    Later on, they did not manage to invite Shire. Instead, they announced to the public that they had invited a fellow employee of hire to work here.


    This was also why Xiang Nan knew that the pastry chef in the restaurant was from the same sect as Shire.


    Zhuang Xian did not pay much attention to this news, but she did not know if this classmate was her classmate. She hoped that he would not be recognized on the spot! Zhuang Xian felt a little guilty.


    It would not be easy to explain if her family learned about her identity. How could an orphan in country Z orphanage become a world-renowned western pastry chef? This was too illogical.


    Moreover, she had recently been giving away in front of Zhuang Huai too many times. It would not be good if she were to reveal her other identity.


    Zhuang Xian did not want to give the Zhuang family so many surprises. Even if her various identities would be discovered in her interactions with them, she still hoped that it would be done step by step and not so exciting from the start.


    She didn¡¯t want her family to think that she was a person with many secrets. She wanted to create a reliable and trustworthy image in front of the Zhuang family.


    Somehow, it seemed like it was all fate. Every time Zhuang Xian tried to hide her secret in front of mo Qian, mo Qian would find out in the end. This time, it was no surprise.


    Xiang Nan was eating the pastry made by the pastry chef, looking a little depressed. Zhuang Huai glanced at him and asked,¡± What¡¯s wrong with you? It¡¯s not good?¡±


    Xiang Nan pinched the cake with his fingers and said in a complicated mood, ¡°I can¡¯t say it¡¯s bad! However, it was not as good as he had expected. I¡¯m starting to suspect that the eatery¡¯s publicity is just a gimmick to deceive customers! They are on a completely different level when compared to master Shire!¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at Xiang Nan in disbelief. Before putting a piece into his mouth, he mumbled, ¡°Is it that bad? I¡¯ll try it!¡±


    As everyone listened to Xiang Nan and Zhuang Huai¡¯s conversation, they curiously looked at Zhuang Huai, waiting for his conclusion.


    After Zhuang Huai ate a piece, he pouted and took a sip of water before saying, ¡°I don¡¯t think my food is as good as my sister¡¯s. Is the title of an advanced western pastry chef a little useless?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Huai speechlessly. She tried her best to avoid him, but Zhuang Huai was still trying to change the topic for her. She was drained.


    ¡°You and Dad are just using a filter on me. You say that everything I make is delicious! The restaurant had recognized him. How bad could he be? You¡¯re the ones who are preconceived and too picky! Right, you guys are too picky. ¡± Zhuang Xian smiled and explained.


    She felt it wasn¡¯t credible as she spoke, so she strengthened her tone and looked at Zhuang Huai and Xiang Nan seriously.


    Mo Qian had already quietly eaten a piece while they were talking.


    When evaluating pastries, Mo Qian thought he had some experience and qualifications. This French pastry did not taste bad, but it was not delicious. The sweetness was perfect, but the outer layer of the pastry was not baked well, which led to the lack of crunchy texture. It was indeed a little unsatisfactory!


    She was indeed not as good as Zhuang Xian. It had nothing to do with the filter of family.


    He did not know that Zhuang Xian was such a humble person! This was completely different from the way she was on the track yesterday. Mo Qian silently looked at Zhuang Xian and felt that she was a little strange.


    Zhuang Xian did not know that Mo Qian had already seen through many of her personality traits and habits.


    That was how it was when you liked someone. You would discover many secrets and strengths about her that others didn¡¯t.

 Chapter 115 - A False Alarm

    Because Mo Qian likes Zhuang Xian, he can see all those shining points on Zhuang Xian¡¯s body, and what is even more rare is that Mo Qian can also discover the small thoughts and secrets that Zhuang Xian hides beneath her beautiful appearance.Mo Qian¡¯s assistant quickly brought up the two chefs.


    They seem to be used to this kind of thing, being invited up by guests to be praised in person, they are all looking at the table with decent faces filled with pampering and generosity.


    Especially Mr. Magee, who is in charge of the pastry section. He is always very confident, but looking at the food he made being left on the plates at the table, he was a little upset.


    The waste of food is inexcusable.


    ¡°You are the pastry chef who came from the same school as Shire? How come you look more like Shire¡¯s teacher?¡± Xiang Nan asked strangely.


    In fact, just listening to the surface meaning of Xiang Nan¡¯s words, it seems like a compliment to Magee.


    But Magee read Xiang Nan¡¯s expression. He was not praising him, but was amazed at his age!


    The good thing is that Magee was not offended by Xiang Nan,but was looking excited at Xiangnan, and loudly asking: ¡°Oh my God! You mean that freak Shire?


    Do you know her? How can I compare with her? She¡¯s our teacher¡¯s most prized student, and we all admire her natural acumen for ingredients! She¡¯s a genius, and I like her a lot! I hear you saying that you have met Shire? Can I have the pleasure of getting to know her through you?¡± It was as if Magee had completely misunderstood Xiangnan¡¯s meaning. He thought Xiang Nan knew Shire and that¡¯s why he said that!


    Xiangnan, ¡°¡­¡±


    Zhuang Huai was shocked to realize that this seemed to be a big oops, this Mr. Magee, Master Shire¡¯s fellow disciple, didn¡¯t seem to know Shire personally either, he even thought Xiang Nan did and wanted Xiang Nan to introduce him!


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming looked at each other with a smile and understood what was going on here! It was a funny thing to see.


    Zhuang Xian quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Magee enter the room, she hadn¡¯t seen this person when she was studying pastry with teacher Jason, he must have followed Jason later.


    It¡¯s good that she didn¡¯t recognize him, else she barely escaped a disaster. Zhuang Xian thought.


    Listening to Xiang Nan and Magee¡¯s enthusiastic conversation, Zhuang Xian was in a happy mood and ate an extra piece of fish, Mo Qian watched from the side and raised his hand to fill Zhuang Xian¡¯s plate with chopsticks, he dotingly asked, ¡°Why are you suddenly happy again?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him sideways and asked with a slight frown, ¡°Where am I happy?¡±


    Mo Qian looked at her tenderly, and there was suddenly some ridicule under his eyes, he laughed: ¡°If you¡¯re happy, then be happy! Why are you still black-faced and bluffing?¡±


    Zhuang Xian had a feeling that she had been seen through by Mo Qian, she had just slightly let go of the stone hanging in her heart, how could Mo Qian also see this?


    Is there any special skill that Mo Qian has that can see through people¡¯s hearts? Can he?


    The meal was very satisfying for everyone, even the slight dissatisfaction with the dessert was dispelled by Mr. McGonagall¡¯s humor and hilarity seeing his warmth and honesty!


    What food is meant to bring is always pleasure and satisfaction, isn¡¯t it?


    Lin En also got another chef¡¯s instructions. She was fist pumping ready to show the family her hand tomorrow. Zhuang Ming looked like a chicken blood wife, doting, shaking his head and smiling lightly.


    Mo Xi returned to Mo Qian¡¯s side after he had finished eating.


    He looked at Mo Qian and Zhuang Huai and respectfully reported, ¡°Young master, young master Zhuang Huai! Lin Yi has already been taken to the police station by me, and the surveillance video of her cursing in the corridor of the food building has also been handed over to the police by me. The police said that they will seriously deal with Lin Yi¡¯s slander and insult of Young Master Zhuang Huai and Fourth Miss!¡±


    Mo Qian nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, he glanced at Zhuang Xian, and then opened his mouth to ask Mo Xi, ¡°Where is Ye Xin? She followed you downstairs, did she follow you to the police station?¡±


    Mo Xi shook his head a little, ¡°No, she seemed to have left directly to go home.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Mo Xi¡¯s words, she laughed coldly in her heart, secretly saying,


    ¡®This Ye Xin¡¯s heavy heartedness is really funny!¡¯


    Zhuang Huai nodded slightly to Mo Qian and said a few words of thanks.


    He was just about to talk to Mo Qian for a few more minutes when the phone in his pocket rang, he took it out and looked at it and said to himself with some surprise, ¡®Big brother? Why did he suddenly remember to call me?¡¯

 Chapter 116 - Lanwei Western Restaurant

    At this moment, Zhuang Bai was having lunch alone at the famous Lanwei Western Restaurant in country F. He and the founder of the restaurant, Mr. Jason, were excellent friends. They could not be considered friends. It would be more accurate to say they were friends despite age differences.


    Mr. Jason¡¯s western desserts were world-famous. Zhuang Bai knew that his family had always liked them, so he asked Jason for many tickets to his western desserts Restaurant in Country Z, hoping his family could enjoy this kind of food like him.


    That¡¯s right, the entry requirements for dining at Mr. Jason¡¯s Lanwei western desserts restaurant were that high, and it wasn¡¯t easy to get a ticket even with a lot of money!


    Jason¡¯s global Western restaurant chain, Qianqian Lanwei, already has many branches worldwide. He had just mentioned in his conversation with Zhuang Bai that all of his restaurants in Z Country had been handed over to his beloved disciple, Shire, to manage.


    Shire was an excellent Western food maker. If his good friend Zhuang Bai wanted, he could introduce her.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing in this world that can make people happy more than the food that they make,¡± guessed Mr. Jason, who had become more kind and enthusiastic in his middle age.


    ¡°Out of all my students, she¡¯s the youngest and the most capable. When I met her, she was a very reclusive cold person. It was the kind of loneliness that one felt when they were in this world! In your country¡¯s words, they are like wandering ghosts from hell!¡± Jason sat opposite Zhuang Bai and gently swirled the red wine in his hand as he spoke leisurely.


    Jason was a very talkative person. He was always concerned about his friends and liked sharing the stories of his beloved student, Shire.


    As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed a blurry photo. ¡°This is the beautiful Shire. She¡¯s an adorable Asian girl. I¡¯m very grateful that the food seems to have saved her! She has become more passionate about life.¡±


    1


    Zhuang Bai could tell that Mr. Jason liked this student named Shire.


    A hot and steady smile hung on the corner of his mouth. His deep voice was magnetic and heavy like a cello. People could understand that he was a very mature, charming man.


    ¡°Then, Miss Shire is a fortunate person! To meet a good teacher like Mr. Jason and be cured by good food.¡± Zhuang Bai said in a warm voice.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m also fortunate to have met her.¡± Jason sighed with emotion.

 Chapter 117 - Zhuang Bais Phone Call

    There was a happy smile on Zhuang Ming¡¯s face, but he said in a low voice, ¡°I know. Finish your work there and come back quickly! Your sister has been back for so long, but you two haven¡¯t even met!¡± As Zhuang Ming spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian stood by Mo Qian¡¯s side, waiting obediently for her parents and brother to speak.


    Mo Qian looked at her and asked softly, ¡°Has your brother returned from his business trip to country F?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked back at him and nodded slightly, not saying anything.


    ¡°What do you think of the dishes today? If you like it, we can often come in the future. That Mr. Mag seems to be a fascinating person. ¡°Mo Qian said, gently raising his head to look at the crowd in the distance.


    When she heard Mo Qian mention Mag, Zhuang Xian thought of her Western-style teacher, Mr. Jason. He was also a hilarious and humorous person. Zhuang Xian smiled and replied, ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. They¡¯re all pretty good. Thank you for your hospitality today.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian with a smile in his eyes. After a long pause, he said gently, ¡°If you want to thank me, then make me another box of desserts!¡±


    Zhuang Xian lowered her head to look at Mo Qian, who was in his wheelchair. After a moment of shock, she said, ¡°There are many famous western desserts in City H. Why do you have to take a fancy to my mediocre Kung Fu? Which restaurant do you want to eat from? I¡¯ll help you line it up!¡±


    ¡°You want to know the reason?¡± Mo Qian raised his head slightly and looked at Zhuang Xian, his smile a little mischievous as he asked.


    As Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian¡¯s smiling eyes, she suddenly felt slightly flustered.


    She didn¡¯t want to know the reason anymore, but Mo Qian had no intention of letting her off. He lowered his voice and stared straight at Zhuang Xian, saying in a very gentle voice, ¡°Because I like it!¡±


    What do you like? Do you like snacks or people? Can you not display your deadly charm in front of so many people? It was a little too alluring!


    Zhuang Xian felt like she was going crazy for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it. She forced a calm expression on her face as she looked at Mo Qian and said, ¡°Alright, I got them.¡±


    Mo Qian nodded in satisfaction and sat up straight.


    After Lin En and Zhuang Bai chatted, she returned the phone to Zhuang Huai and let the two brothers continue their conversation. On the other hand, she turned around and started talking to Zhuang Ming.


    Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Bai chatted for a while before hanging up. When he put away his phone and turned around, he saw Mo Qian and his sister standing very close to each other, talking in low voices.


    He could see the smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face, and the two of them seemed to be having a good time.


    Zhuang Huai suddenly felt a sense of danger. He suddenly raised his voice and said, ¡°Alright! I¡¯m done. It¡¯s getting late, so let¡¯s go home.¡±


    The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Lin En looked up at his youngest son and rolled his eyes. ¡°So what if they¡¯re done! What¡¯s with the loud voice?¡±


    On the other hand, Zhuang Xian liked this interruption from Zhuang Huai. She raised her head to look at her third brother, then turned to the side to look at the people around her. She said softly, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s getting late, and everyone¡¯s tired. Let¡¯s part ways here,¡±


    Lin En nodded and looked at Mo Qian, who was behind Zhuang Xian. She smiled and said, ¡°Thank you for your hospitality today. Come to our house for dinner some other day! I learned a trick from the master here today.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian nodded and chuckled, ¡°Aunty, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. Just enjoy your meal! If there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll come and try Auntie¡¯s cooking. ¡±


    After such an exciting day, the two groups of people finally split up in the underground parking lot of the restaurant. Xiang Nan and Mo Xi stood behind Mo Qian, watching the Zhuang family leave.


    Xiang Nan raised his hand to tidy up his wind-blown hair and sighed, ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such a ruthless Zhuang Huai! In the past, one had been deceived by his laughter. Sigh! I¡¯ve finally seen the scariness of the entertainment industry.¡±


    Seeing the Mo family¡¯s car drive out of his sight, Mo Qian retracted his gaze, turned the ring on his hand, and replied, ¡°Which of the descendants of the aristocratic families are completely clueless? Zhuang Huai is a smart person, and he did a good job striking first. His eyes are sharp, and his methods are well thought out.¡±


    Xiang Nan looked at Mo Qian in confusion as if he didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant.

 Chapter 118 - A Good Man

    Mo Xi looked at young master Xiang¡¯s confused eyes and explained with a smile, ¡°His management company caught Lin Yi¡¯s studio and the Ma family off guard! His methods are indeed good, and he¡¯s very good at using force to fight force. He even used his face to deter the Ma family!¡±


    Xiang Nan nodded slightly as if he had understood something.


    Mo Qian looked at Xiang Nan with a faint smile and joked, ¡°You can be an exception.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Xiang Nan was stunned and asked.


    ¡°You¡¯re an exception to the shrewd sons of aristocratic families.¡± Mo Qian turned his wheelchair around, the corners of his mouth lifted into a smirk.


    Xiang Nan suddenly reacted and retorted loudly, ¡°Brother Qian, why are you scolding me? You¡¯re bullying me again!¡±


    Mo Xi shook her head helplessly and chuckled. The young master was teasing young master Xiang Nan again.


    The scene returned to an hour ago. Ye Xin emerged from the restaurant and ran back to her car as if running for her life. She leaned back in her chair and took a few deep breaths to calm her excitement.


    Why did the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter, Zhuang Xian, have such a terrifying aura?


    She didn¡¯t look like a teenage girl at all. She was a ghost who had climbed out of hell and wanted to take her life!


    Ye Xin couldn¡¯t understand why Zhuang Xian was so hostile toward her.


    Ye Xin cupped her chin with her hand and frowned. Could it be because of what happened last time? Did Zhuang Xian have such deep feelings for the family who had just adopted her?


    Ye Xin shook her head slightly and cleared her mind of these jumbled thoughts.


    The distance between her and Zhuang Xian had been too close. Even though Zhuang Xian had concealed her hatred very well, Ye Xin could still sense the hostility in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes! There was an inexplicable hostility.


    Ye Xin felt the cold and fierce look in her eyes was familiar. She must have seen her somewhere before!


    Anger and frustration rose in Ye Xin¡¯s heart. She couldn¡¯t understand why she was so weak and afraid in front of Zhuang Xian. Now that she had come to her senses, she was filled with anger and unwillingness.


    Ye Xin thought back to the words that Zhuang Xian had whispered into her ear, and an idea formed in her mind.


    Since Zhuang Xian cared so much about her family and Mo Qian, she would not allow her to be too happy and satisfied!


    Mo Qian was the most outstanding entrepreneur in City H. He was a high-quality rich man and had a clean record. He was a good man that was hard to come by. Since she was now without a master, why couldn¡¯t she fight for him? Ye Xin thought.


    Seeing how closely Mo Qian was in sync with the Zhuang family today, Ye Xin reflected on her actions. She felt it was a little too much to rely on an unknown spy to destroy the Mo Corporation and Ming En collaboration. It seemed like an ant trying to shake a tree.


    The Ye Group and Ming En competition wouldn¡¯t last just a day. If she wanted to surpass the Ming En group in business, Mo Qian might be the real breakthrough point. If she could win over Mo Qian, she wouldn¡¯t have to worry about the small Ming En group and Zhuang Xian.


    1


    Ye Xin understood these obstacles and was no longer afraid of the threat. She had been the Ye family¡¯s pride since she was young. She had to get what she wanted no matter what!


    Whether unscrupulous means or exhausting one¡¯s mind, as long as she was the final winner, why did she need to care about what other people said?


    There was no evil in this world for no reason. They came from greed and foolishness in the depths of human hearts! When human beings could not control their overwhelming desires, they would become the slaves of desire, lose their sense of self and nature, and become monsters and beasts.


    The Zhuang family.


    When Zhuang Xian returned to her room, it was almost 11 O¡¯clock. She sat in front of the computer desk on the balcony, and the past two days¡¯ events flashed through her mind.


    Was Lin Yi Ye Xin¡¯s friend? This was something that Zhuang Xian did not know in her previous life.


    The fact that Ye Xin could step forward and help Lin Yi in such a problematic time showed that her friendship with Lin Yi wasn¡¯t just a plastic one!


    Why didn¡¯t she know anything about this in his previous life if that was the case? Was there something she didn¡¯t understand?


    Zhuang Huai was persecuted by Lin Yi and Ma An in his past life. Were there any instructions from Ye Xin? Or was it the Ye family¡¯s doing?


    It was not impossible that the Ye Group had been eyeing the entire Ming En Group covetously.


    Zhuang Xian had suffered too much in her past life, so she would instead think of things in a more complicated and dark way. This was also to prevent problems before they happened!

 Chapter 119 - Mail

    Zhuang Xian had been overthinking Ma An¡¯s part. Ma An didn¡¯t know Zhuang Huai and her. When Mo Qian and Si Rong arrived that night, he didn¡¯t see any of these important figures.


    If he had known Zhuang Huai¡¯s identity back then and that the person behind Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Xian was Mo Qian, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been so evil.


    He was arrogant, but he was not stupid.


    He understood that an iron plate like Mo Qian could not be touched! Lin Yi¡¯s shallow and foolish actions and Ma An¡¯s arrogance were to be blamed.


    Ma An had woken up after a night of emergency treatment.


    He looked at his father¡¯s face, which had aged a few years, and felt slightly uncomfortable. After this battle, Ma An was completely afraid! Nothing was more important than one¡¯s life in this world.


    Father Ma looked at Ma coldly and asked, ¡°Do you know what you¡¯ve done? You dared to go against the Zhuang family and Mo Qian for a cheap actress! How hard do you think your head is? Are you trying to kill our Ma clan? Is your brain filled with that woman?


    You¡¯ve been played by that actor and offended someone you can¡¯t afford to offend without even knowing! You bastard!¡± As father Ma spoke, he became so angry that he wanted to hit Ma An, but the butler beside him stopped him.


    Now that things had come to this point, Ma An finally realized what was happening. He regretted his arrogance and his trust in Lin Yi. It was Lin Yi who had caused him to be in this state!


    Ma An¡¯s eyes were red as he asked, ¡°Where¡¯s that B*tch Lin Yi now? She shouldn¡¯t be dead, right?¡±


    The old butler immediately reported to Ma An that Lin Yi had been personally taken to the police station by Mo Qian¡¯s men.


    ¡°It¡¯s good I cut off Lin Yi¡¯s connection with the Ma family in time. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even know how that stupid woman killed him! I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s still in the police station waiting for you to save her!¡± Father Ma glared at Ma An.


    Ma An naturally did not dare to question his father¡¯s decision. He could not wait for Lin Yi to die so he would not be implicated!


    Lin Yi, who had lost all support, was like an abandoned pawn; no one cared about her anymore.


    It was late at night, but Zhuang Xian was still awake. She sat in front of her computer and sent a few more articles to Li Qin, asking him to release them at different times.


    The marketing reports had slowly suppressed the negative public opinion of the Ye group these few days, and Zhuang Xian naturally could not let them have their way.


    She didn¡¯t expect to bring down the Ye group this time, but moving the Ye Group¡¯s muscles and bones was still possible.


    After posting the article, Zhuang Xian noticed a few new emails in her inbox. She opened them and saw that they were greetings from her teacher, Jason, who was in country F.


    ¡°My dear baby, how have you been? How¡¯s the business of my Lanwei Western restaurant in Z country? You¡¯re very business-minded, and I know you¡¯ll do a good job!


    I recently met an exciting friend from Z country in F country he likes our food very much and we talked about almost everything. However, he¡¯s coming back soon, so I gave him a lot of admission tickets to our restaurant so he can eat our western desserts in the future. He¡¯s my friend. I hope you can treat him well in Z country!


    Only good food should not be let down! Your teacher, Jason!¡±


    At the email¡¯s end was a photo of Jason and Zhuang Bai. Zhuang Xian was stunned when she saw it. Since when did her brother become friends with Teacher Jason?


    This was too much of a coincidence! When big brother called just now, he also said he had brought his father a gift. Could it be this gift?


    Zhuang Xian shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, as she looked at her brother and teacher Jason in the photo. She thought, ¡°It¡¯s hard to tell what¡¯s going on in this world!¡± Coincidences were another way of saying that there was fate. She seemed to be fated with everyone in the Zhuang family.


    Zhuang Xian thought about it and decided to give a call to the headquarters of the Lanwei Western food restaurant in Country Z. Since her brother and father were looking forward to Lanwei so much, why not make them even happier?


    Meanwhile, Madam Lily, who was lying on the bed and was ready to take a good rest, jumped out of bed when she received a call from her employer.


    She was so excited that her face turned red, and her fingers trembled as she pressed the answer button on the phone. ¡°Boss, you finally called me back? Oh my God! Am I dreaming? Did you see the email I sent you?¡±

 Chapter 120 - Overbearing Wealth

    Lily held the phone in her hand as if it were a precious treasure. She felt an inexplicable sense of happiness when she heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s breathing.


    ¡°There have been many international cooking competitions recently. Do you want to join any of them? I¡¯ll help you arrange it.¡± The Boss did not say anything, so Lily asked a probing question.


    Zhuang Xian was a little embarrassed because she had not had the time to read it. She opened the email, and after a few glances, she said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to arrange the event for now! I don¡¯t have time lately. I¡¯m calling you this time to ask you to add a few names to our blue Weibo membership!¡±


    Stunned, Lily replied, ¡°Boss, you can send me a message for such a small matter. Why did you call me?¡±


    Zhuang Xian casually replied to Lily¡¯s email, saying, ¡°I want it to be a 3S membership!¡±


    ¡°What? 3S VIP membership?¡± Lily asked loudly in surprise. Realizing that her loud voice might upset her Boss, she immediately apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss. I was too excited! After all, Lanwei only has a few 3s-level members in country Z, and they¡¯re all important figures. I¡¯m surprised you want to add a few more people at once!¡±


    Lily had wanted to find out who these people were, but she did not dare to do so after hearing her Boss¡¯s silent breathing.


    ¡°Yes, I know. Just do as I say, I¡¯ll handle the membership fees and the approval, and you¡¯ll be in charge of the rest.¡± Zhuang Xian replied to some of Lily¡¯s work-related questions in her email.


    ¡°Yes! The Boss,¡± she replied respectfully.


    Zhuang Xian turned off her computer and continued to speak to Lily on the phone, ¡°I¡¯ll send the information to you. When the time comes, you can send the membership invitation to the address I gave you!¡±


    Lily nodded respectfully. Realizing that her Boss could not see her, she quickly replied, ¡°Alright! Boss, when I go to the headquarters tomorrow, I¡¯ll put together this for you immediately.¡±


    ¡°Okay, good night.¡± Zhuang Xian hung up the phone immediately after she said those words, leaving Lily alone, surprised and curious.


    Who was the Boss going to apply for membership? Moreover, they were a 3s-level Supreme member. This kind of long-term member would have a terrifyingly high membership fee. The Boss was wealthy! She didn¡¯t even bat an eye when she signed up for a money-burning membership for six people at once! As expected of the Boss that she had always respected!


    Lily was also an internationally renowned western pastry chef. She had always admired and respected master Shire, which was why she had followed her to Z Country to develop her career.


    Mr. Jason trusted and doted on Shire a lot. He had handed over the management of the entire Lanwei branch in country Z, which was an honor even his son did not have!


    However, she did not expect that when she brought her back to Z Country, she had become a hands-off boss!


    Lily thought she could follow behind Shire, and the two beauties could achieve great things in Z Country. Together, she and hire could bring Lanwei to the food industry and make a name for themselves in Z Country!


    However, it seemed that this was not what Shire was aiming for. She was diligent in the operation of Lanwei, but she never stayed at the headquarters and rarely came to the store. She entrusted all the front desk business of Lanwei to her.


    Lily was both excited and upset by this gesture. She was excited because of the trust in her, but she was upset because she couldn¡¯t be in the same kitchen as her Boss to make delicious western desserts. This was her lifelong wish!


    Her teacher had said that there was only delicious food in the world that should not be disappointed!


    However, she was too willful! She always relied on her powerful talent and did whatever she wanted!


    Fortunately, Lily, who was in charge of Lanwei, was an innocent and kind beauty. She did not have such complicated feelings. Otherwise, Zhuang Xian would have been jealous to death!


    Why did the heavens do this to her? When would she be able to see her dear Boss again? When would her wish come true? The beautiful Lily collapsed onto the bed, crying as she questioned the heavens silently with her exquisite and sexy face.


    Zhuang Xian, who had already hung up the phone, had no idea that she had once again made a beautiful woman from country F so sad that she could not sleep at night!

 Chapter 121 - A Surprise

    The following day, Zhuang Xian woke up early as usual. Her habit of exercising in the morning was almost unmovable.


    Zhuang Hang was holding a towel in his right hand and gently wiping the sweat on his forehead. He was holding his phone in his left hand and looking at the email with a puzzled expression.


    ¡°Eh? An invitation to join the Lanwei Western restaurant? What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Zhuang Hang frowned slightly and muttered to himself in confusion.


    Zhuang Hang had been busy with company matters recently, so he didn¡¯t even participate in the group outing yesterday. He only heard from Zhuang Huai that they had gone to the restaurant to eat together yesterday, and his heart felt a little unbalanced.


    It wasn¡¯t the first day his father doted on his mother. It was understandable that he would take her out to play after skipping work for a day.


    However, why didn¡¯t his excellent brother and sister think of him when they went out to play and eat?


    Zhuang hang had only grumbled a little, but he didn¡¯t mind.


    He turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian, who had just come in from the courtyard. He raised his voice and asked,¡± ¡°Sister, do you know the Lanwei western desserts Restaurant?¡±


    Zhuang Xian walked over to him. It was the same half-hour morning run, but Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t look tired. It was just that her face had turned ruddy from the exercise, making her look more lively and lovely.


    ¡°Lanwei? Oh! Hang mentioned it to Dad on the phone yesterday. It should be an excellent restaurant. I don¡¯t understand.¡± Zhuang Xian walked closer to him. First, she asked what Lanwei was with a puzzled look. Then, she seemed to realize something suddenly and said ¡®sincerely¡¯.


    Zhuang Hang nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard my father mention it once, but what does this invitation mean?¡±


    As he spoke, he handed his phone to Zhuang Xian and showed her the invitation letter sent by Lanwei¡¯s official headquarters.


    ¡°Second brother, did you also receive an invitation to join the Lanwei Western restaurant?¡± Zhuang Ming held his phone and stood in front of the dining table. He asked loudly, ¡°What¡¯s going on today? The mother also received the invitation on her phone. I have one too, and now you have one too! Could this be some new form of fraud?¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian with a worried and excited expression and asked, ¡°Xian¡¯ er, did you receive it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and returned the phone to Zhuang hang, saying, ¡°I didn¡¯t take my phone with me when I ran in the morning. However, looking at the official ID at the top of the email, it shouldn¡¯t be fake. Didn¡¯t big brother say that he had prepared gifts for us? Could he be a lifetime member of this Lanwei restaurant?¡±


    Lin En was helping Auntie Jiang to bring out the breakfast from the kitchen. When she heard what Zhuang Xian had just said, she clapped her hands in surprise and said, ¡°Baby, you have a point! Your big brother knew that your father wanted to go to Lanwei, but he couldn¡¯t get a seat there, so he didn¡¯t go! Before going on his business trip, he also told me he wanted to take this opportunity to visit the world-famous Western Master. Could it be that he succeeded?¡±


    Lin En turned her head and looked at Zhuang Ming, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.


    Zhuang Ming looked back at her and couldn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°Sure! This kid had done something big without saying anything. When he called yesterday, he said it was just an admission ticket. Hahaha, not bad. I like it!¡±


    Seeing his father so happy, Zhuang Hang was also happy. He smiled and said, ¡°Big brother has always been steady and careful. He probably wanted to give Dad and Mom a surprise! This is great. Daddy can go whenever he wants!¡±


    Zhuang Ming nodded in satisfaction. He couldn¡¯t suppress the joy in his heart. First, he had always wanted to go to this Lanwei restaurant for a meal. Second, his little hobby is constantly remembered by his children. This kind of thoughtfulness and warmth made Zhuang Ming very satisfied.


    ¡°Dad, can you guess what I received?¡±


    ¡°Master, Madam! A new express delivery has arrived!¡±


    Two different voices rang out at the same time. Zhuang Huai was leaning against the second-floor railing, looking at Zhuang Ming with excitement.


    The servant holding the parcel outside the door suddenly realized that he had interrupted the third young Master¡¯s words. He lowered his head slightly and looked apologetic as he walked toward Zhuang Ming with the parcel in his hands.

 Chapter 122 - The Honorable Member

    Zhuang Huai, who had messy short hair and was still wearing his pajamas, looked like he had just gotten out of bed.


    He held his phone excitedly and walked down the stairs from the second floor. He walked up to Zhuang Ming and said excitedly, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve received a membership invitation from the Lanwei restaurant! Oh my God! Do they think that my temperament suits their corporate image? You want to work with me?¡±


    The crowd was speechless.


    Seeing everyone¡¯s calm and slightly speechless expressions, Zhuang Huai felt very strange. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s with your expressions? Isn¡¯t it great that I got this invitation? Didn¡¯t Dad always want to go to Lanwei to try their western desserts? This is a good opportunity!¡±


    Zhuang Ming smiled at Zhuang Huai. He didn¡¯t say anything as he took the package from the servant. Who¡¯s the delivery man so early in the morning?


    Zhuang Huai was taken aback by his father¡¯s smile. He turned to look at Lin En. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you guys? That¡¯s Lanwei we¡¯re talking about!¡±


    ¡°Perhaps, you¡¯re not the only one who has received this item!¡± Zhuang Hang raised his brows slightly and looked at Zhuang Huai with a bit of mischief. He smiled and said, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not because of your outstanding temperament that they sent you an invitation. We should be thanking our good big brother! So, don¡¯t be so cocky, okay? My silly little brother!¡±


    Zhuang Huai was stunned. He turned to look at Zhuang Xian in confusion, wanting to hear his sister¡¯s explanation.


    Zhuang Xian could no longer hide the smile in her eyes. She had never thought a small invitation could make her family happy!


    In the past, she had indeed neglected this point. She did not know that her father liked Lanwei so much! If she had known about this earlier, her brother would not need to visit Jason. All she needed to do was to make a phone call.


    ¡°Heavens! Is this the paper version of the Lanwei 3S membership card?¡± Lin En exclaimed, her eyes filled with excitement. Seeing Zhuang Ming¡¯s stunned expression, she continued, ¡°Lanwei¡¯s efficiency is so high? We¡¯ve just received their e-invitation, and the membership card is already here?¡±


    For some branded stores that paid a lot of attention to aura and appearance, the matter of becoming a member was very cumbersome. The process of application, approval, approval from the higher-ups, and so on were all very troublesome!


    Lin En did not expect Lanwei to be so friendly and efficient.


    When Zhuang Ming opened the package, he didn¡¯t expect it to be this. His eyes widened, and he looked in disbelief at the thing in his hand.


    After the exquisite and neat gift box was opened, six gorgeous small envelope bags were inside. After opening one of the envelopes, there was a beautiful silver magnetic card with a floating and beautiful blue logo printed on the card.


    Zhuang Huai stepped forward and picked up one of the cards to look closer. The gorgeous and exquisite card felt slightly cool to the touch. This exquisite craftsmanship was something that others could not imitate!


    Zhuang Huai was utterly stunned. Was Lanwei¡¯s 3S membership that easy to get? Didn¡¯t the outside world say that Lanwei only had a single-digit number of 3s members in the entire Country Z? How did they suddenly have so many tickets? Were they doing wholesale here?


    Zhuang Huai was shocked. That was Lanwei! It was a world-famous Western food and beverage giant, not some random street corner store. How could Zhuang Huai not be surprised?


    It had to be said that Lanwei¡¯s appearance was quite impressive!


    Looking at this luxurious and exquisite invitation card and membership card, as well as the sense of ceremony, really made people feel proud! No wonder many people would fight to buy this membership every year.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Huai¡¯s dazed and confused expression and chuckled as she explained the whole story and what they had just been discussing.


    Zhuang Huai was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Big brother, is that amazing?¡±


    ¡°AI! That didn¡¯t seem right! If the big brother was behind this, why didn¡¯t he make it clear on the phone yesterday?¡± As he said this, he suddenly felt a little strange. With his big brother¡¯s calm personality, would he do something like this surprise? That didn¡¯t seem possible.

 Chapter 123 - Be Honest

    ¡°Aiya! Big brother might just want to give us a surprise! What are you trying to do with that look of disbelief? Would big brother lie to you? Would Lanwei joke with you?¡± Zhuang Hang chuckled. He did not show any mercy when he picked on his brother.


    Zhuang Hang had always been a meticulous and low-key person. He didn¡¯t know when it started, but he also learned how to control people. He especially liked to tease Zhuang Huai!


    Zhuang Huai did not realize that his mischievous side was similar to Lin En¡¯s. This mother and son duo would never get tired of bullying Zhuang Huai!


    ¡°It is! Why do you care so much? Lanwei wouldn¡¯t play tricks on you, right?¡± Lin En glanced at Zhuang Huai before looking back at the others.


    ¡°I¡¯m also very curious about what kind of god-like restaurant Lanwei is,¡± she suggested in a good mood. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go there for lunch today? Do you think it¡¯s a good idea?¡±


    Zhuang Ming was naturally happy at Lin En¡¯s proposal. He couldn¡¯t wait to rush over and have a meal at the Lanwei restaurant he had longed for.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her excited parents and laughed helplessly in her heart, but she still had to pretend that nothing had happened.


    She had said earlier to draw everyone¡¯s attention to her brother. Then, she would use the fact that her brother and Jason knew each other to prove that her brother had created this surprise himself!


    At the same time, it could also conceal her identity.


    As it turned out, she had used this trick very well! Everyone thought that this was a surprise Zhuang Bai had prepared for them.


    Zhuang Xian felt that this was good enough. As long as it was a surprise, why would she care who gave it to her? They would always be one family anyway.


    Everyone agreed with Lin En¡¯s suggestion.


    They were planning a family dinner at Lanwei this afternoon to have a good taste of this famous western pastry that had been in their dreams for a long time.


    When Auntie Jiang saw how excited the family was, she quickly smiled and asked everyone to sit down for breakfast.


    Zhuang Huai sat down, holding the glass of milk in his hand. He was about to take a sip when he was interrupted by Lin En¡¯s question.


    After Lin En sat beside Zhuang Ming, she regained her senses. She recalled what happened last night, and there were still some parts she did not understand. She looked at Zhuang Huai and asked, ¡°Third brother, now that your movie has come to this, when will you start shooting again? When we were at the restaurant yesterday, your father and I didn¡¯t ask you in detail because Ye Xin and Mo Qian were there ¡­¡±


    As Lin En spoke, she turned to look at Zhuang Xian. From what Lin Yi had said yesterday, it seemed like her precious daughter was also involved in this.


    ¡°What¡¯s with that car race and life and death agreement? Tell me!¡± Said Lin En.


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He knew that this matter would not be able to escape his mother¡¯s sharp eyes!


    He turned to look at Zhuang Xian and sighed. Then, he told her honestly, ¡°Lin Yi and I have an old grudge. I don¡¯t know the ill-fated relationship this time, but Ma An and Lin Yi took a liking to this movie. Ma An used money to get Lin Yi into the production team!¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t stand Lin Yi and Ma An¡¯s behavior, and I didn¡¯t want them to interfere and ruin the movie. So, I secretly gave them some obstacles.¡±


    As Zhuang Huai spoke, he quickly explained as if he was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s just some little tricks. The purpose is to make Ma An and Lin Yi give up on the film, but ¡­¡±


    Zhuang Huai helplessly spread his hands and continued sadly, ¡°You¡¯ve all seen it. It was impossible! Lin Yi still came and still had to act as the female lead! When we started shooting that day, I was still thinking of putting up with her and letting it pass after the shoot! But that day, when she saw Mo Qian and my sister, she went up and started a conversation. I¡¯ve seen all those tricks and stunts of sucking up to someone, and I was so annoyed! So ¡­¡±


    ¡°She was the one who came to provoke us first! Lin Yi is too arrogant. Third brother couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so he came up to help.¡± Zhuang Xian interrupted Zhuang Huai¡¯s words and continued to explain.

 Chapter 124 - The Kiss of Love

    ¡°The race was Lin Yi¡¯s plot against third brother. We¡¯re just giving him an eye for an eye! We won the game beautifully, and their skill was inferior.¡± Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En¡¯s slightly creased brows and explained in a soft voice.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian and asked in a low voice, ¡°So, you were the one who ran the race for your third brother?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En with a deep gaze. After two seconds of silence, she nodded slightly. ¡°Yes, I ran it on behalf of my third brother.¡±


    Lin En tilted her head and exchanged a look with Zhuang Ming. This was a little strange!


    They knew that Zhuang Huai was good at car racing, but Zhuang Xian ¡­


    Zhuang Xian was not even an adult yet. How did she know how to drive? And she even dared to do car racing!


    Zhuang Huai even dared to allow her to bring him to the competition. Wasn¡¯t this a little too illogical? In their eyes, Zhuang Xian was not like this.


    ¡°Xian¡¯ er! Do you know how to race? When did you learn it? Who did you learn it from?¡± Zhuang Ming looked at Zhuang Xian and asked softly.


    Zhuang Huai felt a little anxious at seeing his parents¡¯ ¡®aggressive¡¯ attitude.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian and explained, ¡°Dad, Mom, you also know that my sister¡¯s life was not easy in the past. It¡¯s not surprising that she has some survival skills! We should be more concerned about my younger sister herself! My sister¡¯s driving skills are the best. If you saw that race, you would only be proud of her!¡±


    Seeing Lin En¡¯s brows loosened a little, Zhuang Huai struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade him, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for my sister that day, I probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape from Er Mountain in one piece! In that match, Ma An and Lin Yi were cruel to me. We bet that either Lin Yi or I would stay on set. Either she leaves, or I leave!¡±


    While Zhuang Huai explained to her, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were fixed on Lin En and Zhuang Ming. She wasn¡¯t afraid she would drop her avatar in front of them. She just hadn¡¯t thought of how to explain her extraordinary driving skills to them.


    Was she supposed to tell them that she had been reborn and learned all kinds of skills secretly, cultivating many forces in private? Was it to repay them and take revenge for her previous life?


    In that case, would her parents think that she was crazy? After all, since ancient times, there had never been such a miraculous thing. This was not a movie or a novel!


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian for a long while. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but she could only sigh in the end.


    ¡°Mom knows that you¡¯ve always been an outstanding child. The pain you¡¯ve suffered in the past is all in the past. Dad and Mom are asking you this out of concern and wanting to know more about you!¡±


    As Lin En spoke, she grabbed Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist. She smiled gently and said, ¡°Everyone has the right to keep secrets, but we¡¯re family. I hope there won¡¯t be any barriers between us. We all love you, so you don¡¯t have to be wary of us! Do you know, baby?¡±


    Lin En¡¯s gaze and tone were so gentle and firm. Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was warm and burning. She knew the Zhuang family¡¯s love for her was loyal, firm, and forgiving!


    A warm smile appeared on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. She looked at her family with sincerity and honesty. ¡°No matter what happens in the future, I promise you! I will always protect you and won¡¯t let you get hurt. Please believe me, my love for you won¡¯t be any less than the love you have for me. ¡±


    When Lin En heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, tears welled up in her eyes. She let go of Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and gently caressed her delicate little face as she said, ¡°Of course, I believe you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian stretched out her hand and pressed it to Lin En¡¯s hand. She used her face to rub it and replied obediently, ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± After speaking, she reached out and gently held Lin En¡¯s head. The next second, a gentle and dependent kiss landed on Lin En¡¯s forehead!


    Zhuang Ming smiled as he looked at this heartwarming scene, his heart filled with tenderness.


    He was willing to trust Zhuang Xian. Since she didn¡¯t want to tell them about these things, they could discuss them in the future. There was still a long way to go, and they would have the chance to get to know each other better.

 Chapter 125 - Cutting in Line?

    Zhuang Huai¡¯s heart ached as he watched his sister kiss his mother. He had only held his sister¡¯s hand a few times! When would his sister be able to kiss him?


    Zhuang Hang naturally understood the envious look on Zhuang Huai¡¯s face, but wasn¡¯t he the same in his heart? It would be great if his sister could get closer to him.


    At this point, Er Mountain¡¯s incident had completely turned over. The cast of ¡°Cloud of Doubt¡± was still in an intense casting, but this time, the attitude of the crew had changed drastically. They were very concerned about Zhuang Huai¡¯s opinion on the male lead and had asked him for a lot of advice.


    Mo Qian had invested a sum of money into ¡°Cloud of Doubt¡± for Zhuang Huai¡¯s sake!


    This gave the director and producer more confidence to make the movie good. This will happen later, so let¡¯s not talk about it now.


    As it neared noon, Mo Qian received an express delivery from Ming En Corporation. He opened it and saw a beautiful membership card. He picked it up and muttered to himself, ¡°Lanwei membership?¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Mo Xi. ¡°Do you know who sent it?¡±


    Mo Xi replied, ¡°I heard from the chauffeur that it seems to be the eldest young master of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Bai, who ordered someone to send it over. He said that he wanted to thank President Mo!¡±


    Seeing no reaction on Mo Qian¡¯s face, Mo Xi continued, ¡°The location of the Lanwei Western restaurant is hard to find in City H. Young Master Zhuang must be capable of getting it!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Mo Qian looked at the card in his hand with a blank expression. After a few breaths, he asked, ¡°This Lanwei is the name of the restaurant of the famous Western master, Mr. Jason, from country F, right? The one that Xiang Nan mentioned the other day?¡±


    ¡°Yes, young master!¡± Mo Xi replied.


    Recalling Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression that day, Mo Qian smiled and said, ¡°Thank young master Zhuang Bai for me. If there¡¯s a chance, let¡¯s go and try these famous desserts.¡±


    Mo Xi felt that his young master was a little strange. Why did he suddenly start laughing? Was he thinking of the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter again?


    Of course, this membership card was also sent to Mo Qian by Zhuang Xian. After some thought, she felt Mo Qian had recently helped her. Mo Qian was also a person who loved food. He and Lanwei had an inexplicable affinity. Her gift was quite good, and Mo Qian liked it.


    She had even used her brother Zhuang Bai¡¯s name to send the gift over to fool people. However, it seemed that she had overreached herself.


    Mo Qian loved good food, especially all kinds of desserts and pastries. However, he wasn¡¯t familiar with Zhuang Bai, and they had only met a few times. Zhuang Bai shouldn¡¯t have known what Mo Qian liked. Even if Zhuang Bai thanked Mo Qian for helping Ming En, the gift he gave shouldn¡¯t have been so consoling and thoughtful. It was more like he was trying to please Mo Qian!


    City H, Lanwei.


    Because it was lunchtime, Lanwei¡¯s shop was full of people, and there were no empty seats.


    Lin En looked at the booming business and was a little worried that they wouldn¡¯t be able to make any more reservations today. Zhuang Ming would start to feel depressed again. He had been waiting for this moment the entire morning!


    Lin En didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry when she saw her husband¡¯s uneasy expression. Zhuang Ming was exemplary in every way. Of course, his sweet tooth hobby wasn¡¯t a flaw in her eyes. She just liked this man¡¯s childlike behavior. He looked adorable.


    When Lanwei¡¯s waiters saw the Zhuang family, they quickly came forward and greeted them, ¡°Hello, distinguished guests. Please follow me. Our VIP rooms are on the 11th floor.¡±


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening. This person recognized them as members! That was great. They didn¡¯t need to waste their breath.


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming walked in front, while Zhuang Xian and her two brothers followed behind. Just as they were about to follow the waiter to the VIP elevator, they were startled by a sharp female voice in the distance.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you guys? Can¡¯t you see that people are waiting to get a seat? Do you still want to cut the queue?¡± The woman in the red dress was frowning and looking at them coldly.


    She seemed to be very angry and dissatisfied. She rushed over and pointed at the waiter sternly, ¡°It was you who told me to wait for a seat here. It¡¯s been almost an hour. Where¡¯s the seat?¡±

 Chapter 126 - Causing Trouble

    The woman in red glanced at Lanwei¡¯s waitress, and the anger on her face slowly turned into disdain. She sneered, ¡°I thought Lanwei was a high-end restaurant worldwide! It turns out they¡¯re just a bunch of dogs with no rules and only look at the person before them!¡±


    ¡°Madam, please be patient.¡± The waitress¡¯s professionalism allowed her to react quickly. She smiled at the customer and comforted her softly, ¡°Your reservation is still in half an hour. You can sit in our waiting area and rest for a while. We¡¯ll make arrangements for you.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to fool me with your stupid rules!¡± The woman in red said as she glanced at the group of women whispering to each other in the booth behind her.


    After taking a deep breath, she scolded the waiter, ¡°This group of people came after me. Why don¡¯t they have to line up? You¡¯re just using your store¡¯s size to bully us, the consumers.¡±


    She looked at Lin En and Zhuang Xian as she spoke, sizing them up. After a long while, she said with mockery, ¡°Which family¡¯s Madam and young miss are you? Did you dare to come to a place like Lanwei to embarrass yourself in such shabby clothes? You weren¡¯t afraid of losing faces for the men in the family!


    She snorted and turned to the waiter at the side. ¡°I think Lanwei¡¯s business is declining! All kinds of people can indeed come in and visit these days!¡±


    The noise from the lady in red quickly attracted the attention of the other guests on the first floor.


    Most were wealthy businessmen and affluent ladies or daughters of rich families. Of course, some fake rich women and socialites also pretended to be rich.


    Such people were often the best and the most eager to see the world in chaos. They liked to see others make a fool of themselves and took pleasure in it.


    ¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t she President Chen¡¯s wife from the Haotian Group? Why was she here alone? Did I go to the wrong place? Do you usually come to such high-end places to eat?¡±


    ¡°What is this? Mrs. Chen, why are you arguing with Mrs. Zhuang and Mr. Zhuang? If President Chen knew that you¡¯ve caused him trouble again, I¡¯m afraid he wouldn¡¯t be happy, right?¡±


    A few women in gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup walked out from the booth closest to the woman in red. They crossed their arms, looked up at Mrs. Chen coldly, and spoke strangely.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen Mrs. Chen standing here alone for a long time. Did you not get a seat? Aiya, why didn¡¯t you tell us? Why didn¡¯t we bring you along?¡±


    One of the women in a royal blue dress, who seemed to be the group¡¯s leader, sneered at Mrs. Chen. She turned to look at Lin En and chuckled. ¡°Mrs. Zhuang, long time no see!¡±


    Lin En squinted her eyes and asked, ¡°And you are?¡±


    The woman in blue was stunned, then she said gloomily, ¡°My husband is Liu Yi from the Prosperity Group. We met at a cocktail party half a month ago! You¡¯re forgetful, Mrs. Zhuang, to have forgotten so quickly. ¡±


    Lin en frowned slightly. She didn¡¯t have any impression of Mrs. Liu, but this didn¡¯t prevent her from nodding slightly to her and calling out, ¡°Mrs. Liu.¡±


    Mrs. Chen looked at the two people talking as if nothing had happened, as if she was nothing. She was so angry that her face changed, and she sneered coldly, ¡°I thought you were from some great family! So you¡¯re just the manager¡¯s wife of a broken company! Hmph! So what if he has money? If you can¡¯t be a human, it¡¯s all in vain!¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, ¡°Madam, I don¡¯t think our family has ever offended you, right? You¡¯ve been spouting nonsense at my wife and slandering the Zhuang family the moment you came up! What¡¯s the reason for this?¡±


    ¡°Reasonable? Then I¡¯ll have a good talk with you guys today! You people are in a place like Lanwei, and you dare to cut the line in front of so many people, even me! If I don¡¯t have to eat today, I will get justice!¡± Mrs. Chen took two deep breaths angrily.


    As she spoke, she looked at the crowd slowly gathering around her. She raised her right hand and said clearly, ¡°The people present should have seen it too. The Zhuang family tried to cut the queue and snatch a seat.¡±

 Chapter 127 - . I Dont Like You

    ¡°This service staff ignores the principle of ¡®customers are the most important and directly acquiesced to their behavior. Isn¡¯t this bullying of consumers?¡± Mrs. Chen shouted.


    Lanwei¡¯s location was challenging to book. This was a well-known fact. If one wanted to have a meal here, one had to make a reservation a long time in advance.


    Lanwei¡¯s way of treating guests had always been rigorous and thoughtful. He had never encountered such a thing as someone cutting the queue.


    Most people who could come here to spend money were from the upper class. Everyone was cultured and elegant. They would not do such a shameful thing.


    Hence, when everyone heard about this, they looked at the Zhuang family in surprise.


    ¡°Cut the queue? In a high-end restaurant like Lanwei, was someone who could cut the queue? This was the biggest joke in the world! Who are they?¡±


    ¡°What kind of weird things happened these days? Weren¡¯t the nouveau riche like this? They take a few pieces of stinky money and brag about it worldwide. They weren¡¯t afraid that the stench of money would affect others! You have no class!¡±


    ¡°Logically speaking, this Zhuang family is also a hundred-year-old noble family. Why do they still have such a poor air about them? Come to think of it, could the person standing beside Lin En be their ¡®famous¡¯ adopted daughter? She¡¯s good-looking!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You know them?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t know Zhuang Ming? He¡¯s the third son of the old Zhuang family. He¡¯s young and promising. He¡¯s considered the most capable person among the brothers!¡±


    ¡°Then he¡¯s embarrassing himself today! Cutting the queue was small, but it was a huge embarrassment! How could they still have the face to stand here? If someone finds out, I¡¯ve done such an embarrassing thing. I¡¯ll be too embarrassed to go out again!¡±


    Their discussion was not soft, and Mrs. Chen could hear it. She looked up at Lin En and Zhuang Xian with an arrogant expression, and as if she had suddenly gained some confidence, she shouted, ¡°Did you guys hear that? This place is not a suburban market! You should quickly apologize to me and get out of here. And ¡­¡±


    She looked at the waiter and said coldly, ¡°And you! I¡¯ll complain to your manager, and you can forget about working here in the future! People like you who can¡¯t understand things are not worthy of working here!¡±


    When the waitress beside Zhuang Xian heard this, her heart skipped. She did not expect things to turn out this way. She was following the manager¡¯s instructions in the morning. Why was this happening?


    Just as she was about to defend herself, Zhuang Xian suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Are you done?¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was indifferent, as if she was not bothered by the current situation. She looked at Mrs. Chen coldly, then turned her head to the few people who had just been gossiping.


    ¡°Don¡¯t treat your ignorance as speaking up for justice! Who among you saw us cutting the line? Lanwei¡¯s staff should come out and point at my nose and say that we cut the queue. Did they let us leave?¡± After Zhuang Xian finished her words, she looked at Mrs. Chen with a cold gaze.


    Glancing at the people behind Mrs. Chen, Zhuang Xian sneered coldly and said, ¡°You¡¯ve been humiliated by others, so you should go and get it back! If others insult or scold you, then go and scold them back! It was rare for a person to be so terrified! It doesn¡¯t seem right to say you¡¯re a coward! You¡¯re afraid of her family¡¯s Dingsheng group, but you¡¯re not afraid of our Ming En.


    This is strange.¡± Zhuang Xian laughed coldly.


    Mrs. Chen¡¯s whole body turned cold from Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze. After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, she was even more confused. She said anxiously, ¡°What did you say? Are you the Zhuang family of Ming En Corporation?¡±


    She had only been Mrs. Chen for two months, so she didn¡¯t know much about the people in City H¡¯s business circle. Although she had never met Lin En and Zhuang Ming, she had heard Ming En¡¯s name from her husband!


    ¡°Mrs. Chen, you look like you¡¯re in a daze, aren¡¯t you? Hahaha.¡± Mrs. Liu was amused by Mrs. Chen¡¯s reaction and shrieked, ¡°You don¡¯t know Mr. And Mrs. Zhuang from the famous Ming En group? We¡¯re surprised.¡±


    After she finished, she pulled the people around her to laugh at Mrs. Chen.

 Chapter 128 - Indiscriminate Attack

    These women were all talking simultaneously, which made Zhuang Xian very annoyed. She turned to look at Mrs. Liu and said coldly, ¡°This Madam should also be careful! It¡¯s windy today, and you¡¯re laughing so loudly. Be careful not to bite your tongue. This is a public dining area, so please shut your mouths and be less noisy, okay?¡±


    ¡°You ¡­¡± Mrs. Liu did not expect Zhuang Xian to mock her suddenly. She was clearly on the Zhuang family¡¯s side earlier!


    ¡°Ha! Since when was it your turn, the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family, to speak here? I¡¯m helping your mother vent her anger. Why are you still making bogus accusations? What an uneducated child.¡± Mrs. Liu seemed to have realized what was going on. She sneered and crossed her arms as she spoke in a high-pitched voice.


    She turned to look at Lin En, standing behind Zhuang Xian, and continued to speak strangely, ¡°Mrs. Zhuang! What¡¯s wrong with your family? How did you raise such an ungrateful adopted daughter? I¡¯m on your side!¡±


    Naturally, Lin En understood the hidden meaning behind this. This prosperous Mrs. Liu must have had some personal grudges with Haotian¡¯s Mrs. Chen. She wanted to drag her along to deal with Mrs. Chen.


    Lin En¡¯s lips curled into a smile. She did not even want to give this Mrs. Liu an extra glance. ¡°Then what should I do?¡± Our family¡¯s baby Zhuang Xian is such a little angel who hates evil! She can¡¯t stand people slandering us for cutting the queue. She also doesn¡¯t want to associate with some hypocritical and ugly people with ulterior motives, so she can only attack indiscriminately!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. You and this Mrs. Chen aren¡¯t good people either. You don¡¯t have to pretend to be very familiar with our family.¡± Zhuang Huai looked at Mrs. Liu, and a beautiful smile appeared on his handsome face. However, the words he said were enough to anger people to death.


    Zhuang Xian did not need to turn around to know that her family must be standing firmly and proudly behind her, as her solid backing.


    Mrs. Liu was so infuriated by Lin En¡¯s and Zhuang Huai¡¯s words that she almost died from anger. She had not expected the Zhuang family to have such an impervious attitude that they could not distinguish between friend and foe!


    The mother and child had slapped her face and made her lose face. She stared at Lin En with her red eyes and retorted, ¡°It seems like the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family isn¡¯t the only one who doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for her! You people from the Zhuang family are all the same! I¡¯m too kind to help you!¡±


    When Zhuang Hang heard this, he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and stood up. He laughed sarcastically and said, ¡°How can you be so funny? Our Zhuang family didn¡¯t do anything. Do we need your help? Why don¡¯t you look at yourself in a mirror? Are you worthy? If you want to make fun of others, then do it yourself. Why do you have to drag our family down with you? We don¡¯t want to get involved in your dog-eat-dog drama. ¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at his wife and children and suddenly felt that his mouth was a little clumsy. He couldn¡¯t keep up with the speed of everyone¡¯s attacks!


    The Zhuang family¡¯s children should be like this!


    Everyone did not cause trouble, nor were they afraid of trouble! If there were people or things that they didn¡¯t like, they would scold them! This way, they wouldn¡¯t live in vain, regardless of which Company or Group¡¯s wife you were!


    Since she dared to cause trouble in front of the Zhuang family, she could only admit that she was unlucky!


    Because she couldn¡¯t win against the Zhuang family, Mrs. Liu turned to her friends angrily. However, they only dared to bully Mrs. Chen. They didn¡¯t dare to offend a wealthy lady like Lin En, who had a strong aura and backing!


    Although Ming En had been in a lot of trouble recently, it was still at the peak of its power. Small companies like theirs didn¡¯t dare to go against them.


    ¡°Trash!¡± Mrs. Liu scolded her cowards, then looked up at Lin En and Zhuang Xian.¡± I won¡¯t argue with you, ignorant people. Anyway, I¡¯m not the one being pointed at and scolded!¡±


    As she said this, she wanted to leave the place and save her face.


    However, the next moment, the manager of Lanwei and a large group of managers appeared beside Zhuang Xian and called out to them, ¡°Please wait.¡±


    Lily tried to suppress her excitement and did not pounce on Zhuang Xian. How could she not be excited to see her Boss and idol, whom she had not seen in a long time?


    She had told her that if she followed the address Shire had sent her to the Lanwei shop in City H, she would see her Boss!

 Chapter 129 - Lily Taking Action

    Sure enough! She had caught the Boss. She was a brilliant little genius!


    Standing beside Zhuang Xian, Lily looked at the group of women and then at Mrs. Chen. After clearing her throat, she said, ¡°We, Lanwei, are partly responsible for causing such an awkward situation and misunderstanding. However, you can¡¯t just leave like this!¡±


    Mrs. Liu turned around and looked at the beautiful foreign woman. There was a group of people behind her. They were all dressed in exquisite and gorgeous uniforms, indicating their identity.


    They were all senior managers of Lanwei. Mrs. Chen even saw a man with the Shop Manager¡¯s badge.


    Seeing the Shop manager following the foreign woman respectfully, the two of them had already guessed that the foreign beauty¡¯s identity was not simple.


    In the next second, the Manager of Lanwei¡¯s store addressed Lily respectfully, directly confirming their guess.


    ¡°Department Head Lily, let me handle this matter!¡± The Manager bowed and said. Others might not understand the seriousness of this matter, but he could already feel that his position as the store manager was beginning to shake.


    She looked at him indifferently and nodded slightly.


    She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. After seeing that he did not have any unusual reaction, she slowly restrained her excitement. She knew that she needed to hide her identity at times, just like now!


    The Shop manager strode over to Lin En and Zhuang Xian and gave them a deep 90-degree bow. He bent down and said in a clear and sincere voice, ¡°Five distinguished members, please accept my sincere apologies! I¡¯m very sorry that I didn¡¯t serve you well. It¡¯s my dereliction of duty as the Shop Manager. ¡±


    Everyone present was shocked by the Manager¡¯s sudden action and apology. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened, and they looked at them in confusion.


    This was Lanwei¡¯s real Shop Manager. How could he be so humble as to apologize to the Zhuang family?


    Oh my God! What was going on?


    Lanwei had always been proud and aloof, and it had its style. Nothing like this had ever happened before!


    If it were to be spread online, it would cause a sensation in the entire City of H¡¯s food and beverage industry. This was big news.


    Lin En was shocked by the Manager¡¯s sudden action and didn¡¯t come back to her senses for a long time. Zhuang Ming spoke in a calm and seasoned voice, ¡°Get up and talk.¡±


    The store manager straightened his back and said sincerely,¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± he said.


    As soon as he said this, the silent crowd suddenly came to life again. Everyone was a little surprised and whispered strangely.


    The store manager ignored everyone¡¯s discussion and said to Zhuang Ming gently, ¡°Mr. Zhuang, please wait for a moment. We will arrange lunch for you immediately.¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at the people around him and said, ¡°Dear distinguished guests, listen to me. What happened just now was indeed a misunderstanding. Mr. Zhuang Ming and his family did not cut Mrs. Chen¡¯s queue. They are the most distinguished 3S members of Lanwei and have priority to enjoy all the services provided by Lanwei.¡±


    ¡°Mrs. Chen, as our waiter said, you must wait for the table you booked because it¡¯s not time yet! We¡¯re not bullying you because of our restaurant¡¯s size.¡± The Manager looked at Mrs. Chen and explained seriously.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned back to Mrs. Chen. Their eyes were full of surprise and astonishment. She had just deceived them! They even helped her to scold a few innocent people. These people from the Zhuang family were super members of Lanwei. This was too strange!


    This rich business person, Mrs. Chen, might not know about the membership system of Lanwei, but other people did. Buying a Lanwei 3S membership would cost a lot of money! No, that¡¯s not right. Money alone can¡¯t buy this!


    Under everyone¡¯s disdainful gaze, Mrs. Chen¡¯s face turned red with shame. She tried to recall what she had just done, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

 Chapter 130 - . Knowing Your Mistakes And Changing

    Oh my God! What a stupid thing she had just done! It was so embarrassing and awkward that Mrs. Chen wanted to find a hole to hide and pretend that she had never been there.


    However, the Manager would not let her off so quickly. He looked at her and continued, ¡°Mrs. Chen, please apologize to our guests and Lanwei!¡±


    The Manager added that the woman was stunned, ¡°Because of your emotional issues, you have slandered and insulted our customers. We can not accept this. Please apologize.¡±


    ¡°What? ¡°I ¡­¡± Mrs. Chen looked at the Manager with a red face and choked.


    She swallowed her saliva to moisten her dry throat. Only then did she calm down slightly and say anxiously, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it was a misunderstanding? Why do you want me to apologize? I¡¯m also your guest!¡±


    She seemed to have finally found a reason to explain the stupid things she had just done, so she kept emphasizing, ¡°Right! That was just a small misunderstanding. How would I know that they were members? I saw they came before me but were taken away first, so I thought they wanted to cut the queue. You can¡¯t blame me for that, right?¡±


    Seeing that the woman was full of excuses, Lily asked, ¡°Oh? Are you sure that¡¯s what you¡¯re thinking? Then why do you keep scolding people?¡±


    Lily felt that the Manager¡¯s solution was a little too slow. After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Shire and, as expected, her expression was already terrible.


    In fact, at this point, there was no need to continue talking to them.


    Such unrefined and mean people should be kicked out directly and not allowed to enter Lanwei¡¯s door again! Why say so much nonsense?


    The Manager just wanted to make up for his mistake. He wanted Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Liu apologize to the Zhuang family. This way, perhaps the guests would be happy, and he would not have to worry about being fired.


    On the other hand, Director Lily¡¯s thoughts were even more straightforward. She just wanted to make her happy.


    She looked at Mrs. Chen and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you two choices now. One, apologize to our members, and we¡¯ll let this matter go. You¡¯ll still be a guest of Lanwei in the future. You don¡¯t have to apologize now, but we¡¯ll put you on Lanwei¡¯s customer blacklist. In the future, you, your immediate family, and your friends will never be able to enter Lanwei again! You choose!¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Lily without saying a word. She was satisfied with her quick and decisive way of resolving the problem.


    These people had already pestered them for almost half an hour. She was so frustrated that she wanted to hit them.


    They had come to Lanwei for lunch today because they were in high spirits. They didn¡¯t want their mood to be ruined by these annoying women.


    Zhuang Xian looked up at the embarrassed Mrs. Chen and sneered, ¡°If a person doesn¡¯t even have the backbone to admit to her actions, what¡¯s the point of living and wasting air? It¡¯s better to die!¡±


    1


    Mrs. Chen looked at Zhuang Xian, who had an indifferent face but a proud and pure aura. She suddenly remembered what Zhuang Xian had just said, and her heart throbbed.


    What she said was not wrong. She had indeed always been very timid and cowardly. Liu Yi¡¯s wife bullied her, but she did not dare to retaliate. In her heart, she wanted to find another sucker to vent her anger, but in the end, she directly kicked the iron plate of the Zhuang family!


    Mrs. Chen thought and turned to look at Mrs. Liu. After taking a deep breath, she said, ¡°Good! I apologize to you. I¡¯m indeed in the wrong for what happened today. I¡¯m not willing to be ridiculed and humiliated by Mrs. Liu, so I vented my anger on you! I¡¯m sorry. ¡±


    Lin En heard her apology and nodded slightly. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing to correct your mistakes! Remember, in the future, whoever bullies you must rely on your ability to bully back! You shouldn¡¯t be afraid of those hypocritical enemies who bully others! They think that you¡¯re easy to bully. They won¡¯t dare to laugh at you if you become tough!¡±


    As Lin En spoke, just like Zhuang Xian, she turned her head and looked coldly at Mrs. Liu and her friends, who looked like they had just eaten sh*t. She snorted and turned around to enter the elevator.

 Chapter 131 - . Courage

    When Lily saw that Shire had left with the guests, she turned to look at the Manager. Her eyes were a little dark and unclear. If he could not handle the situation, she would have to consider who to replace him with as the Shop Manager.


    Naturally, the Manager understood what Lily meant. He led the crowd behind him and bowed slightly to the departing Zhuang Xian and the rest.


    The Manager only straightened his body when he saw the guests entering the elevator. He turned to look at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen and said in a deep voice, ¡°Lanwei has always been determined to become the world¡¯s number one Western food and beverage brand. Our customers are from all over the world, and there has never been anyone like the two madams who caused trouble in the store and insulted other distinguished guests! Now, on behalf of the shop, I¡¯m informing you that from today onwards, you¡¯re no longer welcome to dine in the store!¡±


    ¡°What? You¡¯re impudent!¡± After hearing the Manager¡¯s words, Mrs. Liu¡¯s eyes widened. She had never thought she would be involved in this matter and would be kicked out as well.


    The more Mrs. Liu thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn¡¯t control herself and wanted to argue with the Manager, but the waiter behind her stopped her. She turned to look at them in surprise. Was the Shop manager for real?


    The Shop manager looked at her indifferently and continued to say politely, ¡°If it has caused you any inconvenience, please understand.¡±


    The Manager looked at Mrs. Chen, but he was interrupted before he could say anything.


    She took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, and said in a good mood, ¡°Lanwei is indeed a brand with a backbone. I¡¯m impressed! I¡¯m in the wrong today. I¡¯ll accept your decision and leave on my own.¡±


    Mrs. Chen seemed to have understood what Zhuang Xian and Lin En had just said. One must have a backbone and courage to live. If one did not dare to fight back when bullied, one would be too cowardly!


    Correcting one¡¯s mistakes would not cause others to laugh at them. On the contrary, a dark and despicable person like Mrs. Liu should be scorned by others!


    Lanwei¡¯s fair punishment also made her feel fair and convinced. She felt much better as she watched Mrs. Liu thrown out of the door!


    Seeing that Mrs. Chen was about to leave after speaking, the Shop Manager quickly stopped her. ¡°Mrs. Chen, please wait!¡±


    Mrs. Chen stopped and turned back to him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The Manager looked at her and smiled. ¡°Because you accepted our Department Head¡¯s suggestion and apologized to Mr. Zhuang Ming¡¯s family! Mrs. Zhuang also said that knowing one¡¯s mistake would make one change for the better. So, our shop still welcomes sincere and cultured customers to come again!¡±


    Mrs. Chen understood what the Manager meant and smiled in surprise. ¡°I understand, thank you.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.


    The other customers in the shop nodded in satisfaction when they saw how Lanwei¡¯s Manager handled the situation. Lan Wei had its reasons for being able to stand tall for so many years!


    Such spirit and breadth of mind were indeed convincing! Its leader must also be a very charming and generous person.


    Lanwei¡¯s leader, admired by the guests, was sitting in a bright and spacious private room, accompanying her father, who was ordering food in high spirits!


    ¡°How about this? What kind of tea and snacks should I go with? I¡¯ll have another portion of this seven-colored macaron! It¡¯s their little sign!¡± Zhuang Ming¡¯s fingers slid back and forth on the exquisite menu, as excited as a child.


    Zhuang Xian smiled and nodded at him. She exchanged a look with Lin En and shook her head helplessly.


    Zhuang Huai glanced at the lists in the waiter¡¯s hand and hurriedly said to Zhuang Ming, ¡°Enough, father! There were too many! We won¡¯t be able to finish it later, so don¡¯t waste it!¡±


    Zhuang Ming tilted his head to look at him, frowned, and said severely, ¡°I¡¯m here. What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at the menu and realized that he had ordered too much. He added, ¡°I saw that we had more people, so I wanted to order more! What are you so nervous about? I don¡¯t need you to pay!¡±


    Zhuang Huai was speechless.


    ¡°Ask your father to open up to you today. He¡¯s been waiting for this day for a long time! Can¡¯t you just shut your mouth and wait to eat? He deserves it for trying to get back at him.¡± Lin En laughed as he looked at Zhuang Huai and scolded him

 Chapter 132 - A Long

    Zhuang Hang looked at the scene before him and shook his head with a weak smile. Third brother¡¯s status in the family seemed to be plummeting recently!


    His parents jointly rebuked Zhuang Huai. He quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, ¡°Good, good, good! It¡¯s my fault. Dad, do whatever you want. I¡¯ll pay today, okay? Please don¡¯t be so polite.¡±


    When Zhuang Ming heard this, he cleared his throat to show his mercy and let him go.


    Zhuang Xian smiled and did not say anything. She took out her phone and quickly sent Lily a message.


    Lin En saw Lily standing behind Zhuang Xian and looking at her with sparkling eyes. If Zhuang Xian were not a girl, Lin En would have suspected that the President of Lanwei had fancied her.


    Lily¡¯s phone suddenly rang, bringing her back to her senses. She took out her phone and glanced at it before smiling at Zhuang Huai and asking softly, ¡°This must be the first time you¡¯ve come to our Lanwei, right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s our first time here.¡± Zhuang Huai nodded and said with a relaxed expression.


    ¡°Because you and your family are 3S members of our Lanwei, you don¡¯t have to pay for the expenses here!¡± Lily bowed slightly and looked at Zhuang Huai with a good smile on her face.


    ¡°What?¡± Zhuang Huai was slightly taken aback. ¡°Your so-called 3s membership has this kind of service?¡±


    ¡°Yes! And it¡¯s a lifetime effect!¡± She added with a smile.


    This time, even Zhuang Ming was a little surprised. He said, ¡°Isn¡¯t this equivalent to a long-term meal ticket? That¡¯s good, not bad! I like it.¡±


    As he spoke, he did not forget to look back at Lin En to express his joy.


    Lily glanced at Zhuang Xian from the corner of her eye. When she regained her senses, she nodded slightly and chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s also the day of our Lanwei store¡¯s opening, and our distinguished guests can also participate in our grand prize drawing event! May I ask which distinguished guest would like to follow me down to the lottery?¡±


    The moment Lily finished speaking, Zhuang Ming was about to reply that he could go, but he was interrupted by Zhuang Xian before he could say anything.


    Zhuang Xian stood up and said gently, ¡°Let me do this running up and down work. Today, you should sit here and be a taster. ¡±


    Zhuang Ming smiled and said, ¡°Sure! Go on.¡±


    ¡°Sister¡¯s luck seems to be pretty good. Get us a big prize!¡± Zhuang Huai raised his head slightly and said with confidence.


    Zhuang Hang and Lin En looked at each other and smiled. They nodded at Zhuang Xian, indicating for her to go.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Zhuang Huai and chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ll get a big prize for us.¡±


    When they finally exited the private room, Lily saw that the service staff had closed the door and immediately pounced on her. She suppressed her excitement and said, ¡°I knew coming to City H was the right choice, Boss! Boss! I missed you so much!¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled as she pulled Lily down from her body. With a smile, she looked at her and said, ¡°You¡¯re not stupid! Your reaction was also swift. ¡±


    After reading her message, she knew that the latter half of her sentence was a compliment for her quick reaction.


    She found a suitable excuse and asked for Shire without the Zhuang family¡¯s knowledge.


    Amused by Lily¡¯s smug expression, Zhuang Xian laughed and said, ¡°Alright, we don¡¯t have much time. I¡¯ll go to the kitchen now.¡±


    Lily nodded and walked quickly in front. As she walked, he curiously asked, ¡°Are they the important people you mentioned?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, but we can¡¯t tell them about my relationship with Lanwei yet. You must also keep it a secret for me, okay?¡± Zhuang Xian nodded slightly and said softly.


    She shot her a firm look and said sternly, ¡°I know, Boss. Boss has always been tight-lipped.¡±


    The two took Lanwei¡¯s staff-only elevator and went straight to the dining area. Zhuang Xian quickly changed into her chef¡¯s uniform.


    Lily¡¯s eyes were filled with reminiscence as she looked at the familiar appearance of Shire. ¡°I miss our time in country F! You¡¯re the best. I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re cooking for them! Have you not been in the kitchen for a long time?¡±


    Zhuang Xian tilted her head to look at her, raised her eyebrows, and chuckled. ¡°So much nonsense? Quickly change your clothes and come over to help me! Our time is limited!¡±


    Surprised, Lily¡¯s eyes widened. She quickly changed her clothes, and her face was so beautiful that it looked like it was about to bubble! She had been waiting for this day for a long time!

 Chapter 133 - . The Heart

    Zhuang Xian¡¯s footsteps were light and agile as she shuttled through the kitchen, instructing Lily to prepare the ingredients for her. Her mind was clear, and her hands were agile. It was as if she had never left Lanwei¡¯s position as the Executive Head Chef!


    Zhuang Xian thought that since her father loved Lanwei¡¯s western food from Country F so much, she would have to make it herself. Other than Jason, no one else in the world could be better than her!


    Since she was going to give, she should give the best. As Zhuang Xian thought about this, she became more focused and meticulous in her actions.


    Lily looked at the severe and focused side view of her face and could not help but look forward to the final product. This was the first product he had produced after not seeing Lanwei for a long time, and she wanted to try it too.


    Zhuang Xian efficiently settled everything in the kitchen and followed Lily to the lucky draw area. She carried on the spirit of acting and smashing a giant golden egg herself. Lily was very interested in checking the prize for her. After he was done, she surprisedly said, ¡°It¡¯s a grand prize!¡±


    ¡°Yo! I was wondering who it was. Isn¡¯t this Zhuang Xian? Why did you come to such a high-end place? She¡¯s doing such a petty thing. Isn¡¯t she afraid of losing face for our Zhuang family?¡± Zhuang Jie crossed her arms in front of her chest and said arrogantly with her chin slightly raised.


    An Ye stood behind her and looked at Zhuang Xian indifferently.


    One look and one could tell that they had come with ill intentions!


    Zhuang Xian calmly put down the hammer in her hand and slowly inched closer to Lily. She was more interested in seeing what the golden egg she had smashed had hit than answering some stupid questions.


    She was unlucky today. She just wanted to take her family to have a quiet lunch. Why did so many annoying people appear? It stirred up one¡¯s peace!


    ¡°Hey! Are you deaf? I¡¯m talking to you. ¡°Zhuang Xian ignored her and was only interested in the item in front of her, Zhuang Jie asked in a highly displeased tone.


    Because Zhuang Xian did not care about the two of them, An Ye also felt a little uncomfortable.


    Zhuang Xian was still not looking at them, so Zhuang Jie snorted and said sarcastically, ¡°You¡¯re indeed a low-class person from an orphanage. Only people like you would care so much about such a small favor! Some people! Even if you enter a rich family, you won¡¯t be able to become a young lady. You can¡¯t even wash away that shabby air!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not your place to gossip about whether my sister is a rich young lady or not!¡± Zhuang Hang frowned and looked at Zhuang Jie coldly.


    Zhuang Xian heard her second brother¡¯s voice and turned around to look at him. Zhuang Hang stood a few steps away from them, exuding a cold aura.


    An Ye turned her head and saw that it was Zhuang Hang. A faint look of surprise flashed in her eyes. A sweet smile appeared on her face as she looked straight at Zhuang Hang.


    When Zhuang Jie heard Zhuang Hang¡¯s words, she said indignantly, ¡°Did I say something wrong? Zhuang Xian is so petty. Isn¡¯t she just embarrassing the Zhuang family? What¡¯s wrong with me saying a few words to her!¡±


    Zhuang Hang walked over to Zhuang Xian and said coldly, ¡°Put away the bad habits of your young miss and the little princess. Don¡¯t show off and do stupid things here! You don¡¯t have any ability, yet you¡¯re always nitpicking this and nitpicking that. What right do you have to say this? What¡¯s wrong with the lottery? Is it illegal?¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows and looked at her second brother, who had an unrivaled sharp tongue. She wanted to give him a round of applause!


    ¡°Second brother, you ¡­¡± Zhuang Jie was speechless by Zhuang Hang¡¯s rebuttal, and her face turned red with anger.


    Seeing this, An Ye pretended to be understanding and looked at him. She said obediently, ¡°Second brother, you¡¯re wrong to blame her! She¡¯s just reminding Zhuang Xian out of goodwill. She¡¯s never been good with words, you know that too, right?¡±


    Lily clenched the paper in her hand tightly. Several times, she wanted to speak up for the young lady, but the young lady¡¯s eyes stopped her.


    Hearing this, Zhuang Hang glanced at An Ye indifferently. ¡°Really? You sound like you know her better than she does herself. Zhuang Jie has always been speaking without thinking.¡±


    ¡°I ¡­¡± An Ye choked on Zhuang Hang¡¯s words and received an unhappy look from Zhuang Hang.


    After Zhuang Hang finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and looked at Zhuang Xian instead.

 Chapter 134 - . Im Out of Luck This Time

    ¡°Mom was worried about you up there,¡± Zhuang Hang said gently to Zhuang Xian. ¡°She said that you didn¡¯t come back after so long and asked me to come down to take a look. It turns out that you¡¯re being pestered by some little ghosts again! How is it? What kind of big prize did you get?¡±


    Zhuang Hang was starting to hate Zhuang Jie more and more. This girl did not have the kindness and naivety that someone her age should have. Instead, she had learned her mother¡¯s narrow-minded, sinister, and domineering bad habits! It wasn¡¯t enjoyable.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she smiled proudly at the Manager and replied excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s not just the grand prize, it¡¯s the grand prize!¡±


    Zhuang Hang looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s mischievous and cute expression and laughed softly. His slender eagle eyes were full of love as he pretended to be surprised. ¡°Really? Little sister, you¡¯re amazing! This hand is done for! So, what¡¯s the grand prize?¡±


    Lily interrupted and explained, ¡°Our grand prize this time is the latest model of BMW off-road vehicle. Ms. Zhuang, you¡¯re fortunate!¡±


    ¡°What? BMW off-road! Did you make a mistake? It¡¯s just a small restaurant¡¯s lucky draw. Do you think it¡¯s possible to get a luxury car?¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.


    An Ye was also very shocked. This Lanwei is generous! Why did it have to be Zhuang Xian? What bad luck.


    She glanced at them indifferently and did not explain anything. How could such an open and fair matter be faked?


    When Zhuang Hang heard this, he looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise. He reached out and pinched her face affectionately as he complimented her, ¡°You¡¯re too awesome! That¡¯s amazing!¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed softly. She was not used to Zhuang Hang¡¯s intimate actions. Fortunately, her second brother quickly retracted his hand. Zhuang Xian heaved a sigh of relief and suggested to her second brother, ¡°I¡¯m done. Let¡¯s go back! The dishes should be served by now, right?¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded slightly. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡±


    As they spoke, they turned around and left, completely ignoring Zhuang Jie and An Ye, who was still standing in the same place.


    They seemed to treat these two people as dirty things that would hurt their eyes as if they would dirty their eyes if they looked at them more than once!


    ¡°Second brother ..Zhuang Hang! How can you do this to me?¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s lungs were about to explode from anger as she shouted sternly.


    Her voice was so loud that it instantly attracted a lot of attention. Zhuang Hang stopped in his tracks and tilted his head slightly to look at her. His eyes were cold as he shouted, ¡°Shut up!¡±


    However, with Zhuang Jie¡¯s lawless personality, she would not listen to him obediently.


    Zhuang Jie protested loudly, ¡°I¡¯m your sister! Why are you so nice to Zhuang Xian but so cold to me? Do you think I won¡¯t tell on you to the old lady?¡±


    Zhuang Hang looked at Zhuang Jie speechlessly. He sneered and said, ¡°How old are you? How could you so righteously announce something like reporting to parents so easily? Don¡¯t you find it embarrassing?¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s eyes were already a little moist. Although Zhuang Hang had never been close to her in the past, he had never scolded her so harshly before. It was all that B*tch Zhuang Xian¡¯s fault. Ever since she came to her Uncle¡¯s house, her older brothers had not doted on her!


    ¡°So what? I don¡¯t care!¡± Zhuang Jie raised her voice and retorted.


    If it weren¡¯t for the last bit of his image, Zhuang Hang would have rolled his eyes and left. Did Zhuang Jie think that he cared about her?


    However, when he felt the gazes of the people around him, Hang knew that he could not do that. Zhuang Jie could cause trouble and disregard the reputation of the Zhuang family, but as her brother, he could not just leave like that. If that were the case, wouldn¡¯t he become a joke to outsiders?


    With Zhuang Jie¡¯s personality, it was not that he could not pester her. The only person who could suppress her, other than her mother, was the old lady!


    Zhuang Xian was a brilliant and straightforward person. How could she not understand the frustration and difficulty that Zhuang Hang was feeling right now? She chuckled and said to Zhuang Jie, ¡°We have a private room on the 11th floor. Do you want to go up? Your Uncle and Aunt are both here.¡±


    Zhuang Jie was stunned. She looked at Zhuang Xian suspiciously and asked cautiously, ¡°You¡¯re so kind as to invite us up? I¡¯m not falling for your trick!¡±

 Chapter 135 - Suffer a Little

    Zhuang Xian raised her eyes to look at her and shrugged her shoulders, acting nonchalant. ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you want to go or not. Please don¡¯t go.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhuang Hang and said gently, ¡°Second brother, let¡¯s go!¡±


    The next second, An Ye quickly said, ¡°Wait a minute! We¡¯ll go too! Zhuang Jie and I have just arrived, and we haven¡¯t made a reservation. Let¡¯s go together!¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at An Ye in surprise, her eyes full of confusion. That was an invitation from Zhuang Xian!


    Since they weren¡¯t stupid, they should know this was a trap, but An Ye wanted to drag her along! What kind of logic was this?


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s mind wasn¡¯t as agile as An Ye¡¯s, so she naturally couldn¡¯t figure out An Ye¡¯s purpose. She glanced at An Ye¡¯s hand tightly holding hers and looked at her in confusion.


    An Ye turned to look at her and said, ¡°We haven¡¯t eaten either, right? It¡¯s so hard to get a seat at Lanwei. Since your Uncle has already made a reservation, let¡¯s go and experience it, okay?¡±


    An Ye¡¯s expression was much more complicated, and Zhuang Jie could not understand it. After being stunned for a moment, she subconsciously nodded. She could not reject her good friend¡¯s warm and expectant eyes.


    Zhuang Hang heaved a sigh of relief impatiently and walked in front. Zhuang Xian followed behind him, and the moment she turned around, her eyes became dark.


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s intuition was correct. How could Zhuang Xian be so kind as to invite them to a banquet?


    Zhuang Xian planned to kill two birds with one stone. It was okay if Zhuang Jie was afraid of her and didn¡¯t dare to follow her, or if An Ye was unwilling to give up such an opportunity and wanted to follow her and get close to her brothers! Everything was within her calculations.


    If it was the former, the two of them would not dare to follow her up and would choose to retreat in the face of difficulties. That would also solve second brother¡¯s difficult situation!


    If it were the latter, that would be even better. She could think of a way to make the two of them suffer! It was like a sheep entering a tiger¡¯s mouth.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s banquet was not something that just anyone could get to eat.


    An Ye forcefully pulled Zhuang Jie along. When they entered the elevator, Zhuang Jie coldly said, ¡°You can go up, but if you dare to cause trouble again, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Hang with a bit of dissatisfaction. After taking a few deep breaths, he chose to swallow his anger.


    An Ye¡¯s hand holding her wrist had been slightly exerting force. Zhuang Jie was not brainless. She had already reacted. An Ye still wanted to pursue second brother!


    For her good friend¡¯s marriage, she would endure it today! Zhuang Jie thought to herself as she gritted her teeth.


    She stepped into the elevator a few steps away from Zhuang Xian. Suddenly, a strange smell came from the elevator. She took a deep breath and sneezed. Of course, An Ye was with her.


    The two covered their mouths in unison and slowly rubbed their noses. Did they catch a cold? It was bizarre! The weather wasn¡¯t cold today, and the strange smell from earlier was gone. It was like an illusion!


    The speed of the elevator was breakneck. When it reached the eighth floor, Zhuang Jie suddenly realized that her nose was wet. She reached out and gently wiped it. When she looked closely, she realized that it was red! She had a nosebleed!


    Zhuang Jie cried out in shock, ¡°Ah! I¡¯m bleeding!¡±


    An Ye turned back to look at her, a little panicked. She took out her handbag and wanted to find a tissue to stop Zhuang Jie¡¯s bleeding, but she noticed a few drops of red liquid dripping from the white bag. She raised her hand and touched her lips.


    ¡°You have a nosebleed too!¡± Zhuang Jie looked at An Ye¡¯s face and exclaimed in surprise.


    Zhuang Hang looked at them coldly and pressed the button on the floor closest to them. At the rate they were bleeding, they would be anemic before they reached the 11th floor!


    The elevator stopped, and Zhuang Hang said in a deep voice, ¡°You two, come out first! Let the people in the shop handle it and see if we should call the hospital!¡±


    There were already waiters on duty on the elevator floor. After they saw the situation, they quickly came up to help the person and asked for help through the walkie-talkie.


    ¡°Miss! Are you guys alright? Do you need to call the hospital?¡± The waiter held Zhuang Jie¡¯s wrist and asked anxiously.


    Zhuang Hang looked at the blood on Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s hands. He frowned and coldly ordered, ¡°In such a situation, shouldn¡¯t you call to help them? Hurry up!¡±

 Chapter 136 - Bleeding

    When the waiter of Lanwei heard the cold words, he quickly lowered his head and replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, customer. I¡¯ll go and call him now.¡±


    Zhuang Jie lowered her head and looked at the nosebleed that she couldn¡¯t wholly block, even with several layers of paper towels. It had already stained her hands red. At this moment, she felt her feet go soft, and then she slowly fell to the ground!


    An Ye¡¯s condition was not any worse. She was terrified and covered her nose with her hands. Her eyes widened as she looked at the hospital staff calling the hospital. Her eyes were full of urgency and pressure.


    An Ye¡¯s heart suddenly started to panic, and the left side of her body started to go numb. She turned to look at Zhuang Xian beside her. She didn¡¯t know if it was an illusion, but she saw the coldness in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes.


    She had a feeling that Zhuang Xian had something to do with this! Perhaps Zhuang Xian was behind this, but how did she do it?


    An Ye¡¯s mind turned, and her numb body began to tremble. She saw Zhuang Hang in front of her from the corner of her eye, and her legs turned soft, falling directly in his direction.


    Zhuang Hang was coldly urging the restaurant¡¯s service staff to get a doctor over. He was very annoyed and didn¡¯t want to get involved in this troublesome matter. However, the two of them had followed them up here. He couldn¡¯t leave them alone.


    If he did that, and his Aunt and the old lady found out, he would be ¡®swallowed alive¡¯ by them!


    However, the blood from their noses was bizarre and coincidental!


    Such a severe and rapid bleeding rate was shocking. What was going on with Zhuang Jie and An Ye? That was strange! The doctor will have to give them a good check when he comes later.


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s mind was filled with these thoughts, so when An Ye fell toward him, he subconsciously reached out and caught her body. She pushed the two of them back a few steps. Fortunately, Zhuang Hang was strong and was not crushed by An Ye.


    ¡°Second, brother! I¡¯m so uncomfortable! Am I going to die? My body is in so much pain! Wuwuwu, can you please save me?¡± An Ye buried her face in Zhuang Hang¡¯s arms and mumbled to him.


    An Ye¡¯s tone was full of sobs and weakness, and her tone was full of helplessness. It was as if this man was the only one who could save her!


    Her delicate and plump body was tightly pressed against Zhuang Hang¡¯s body, and the expensive and fragrant perfume entered Zhuang Hang¡¯s nose. If it were any other man, their bones and heart would have long melted under the total dependence of the beauty.


    An Ye was familiar with controlling a man and their deep-rooted flawed nature so they would be utterly obedient to her. She was also very skilled.


    However, the man she had attacked was Zhuang Hang!


    Zhuang Xian had just been coldly looking at An Ye and Zhuang Jie, but when An Ye¡¯s feet moved, she already guessed An Ye¡¯s purpose.


    An Ye still had evil intentions. She didn¡¯t even care about her body and only wanted to seduce men. She didn¡¯t know how to praise her. She should still be scolded!


    Zhuang Xian strode forward with her long legs and walked up in two steps. She frowned and wanted to pull An Ye away from Zhuang Hang, but An Ye was already pushed away by Zhuang Hang. An Ye¡¯s painful cry was followed by the muffled sound of a body hitting the ground.


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    Looking at An Ye, who was lying on the ground with blood all over her face, Zhuang Xian was sure that her second brother did not show mercy when he pushed her!


    Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at Zhuang Hang. She saw frustration and disdain on his face. He said, ¡°Did you lose your brain from a nosebleed? Who are you rubbing on? You have no sense of shame!¡±


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s voice was intense as if he was suppressing his anger. The surrounding waiters and people who came to help all heard him.


    Everyone looked at them in a daze as if a spell had fixed them.


    An Ye raised her eyes slightly and also saw this scene. The anger and unwillingness in her heart slowly burned, but more than that, she felt the humiliation and anger of Zhuang Hang that had caused her to lose all face!


    Was Zhuang Hang not a man but a piece of wood that did not bloom? She had such a good figure, and little Yi gently comforted him. Yet, he did not feel anything at all. He even pushed her away? He doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him, stinky man!


    An Ye was about to die from anger.

 Chapter 137 - Seducing

    It wasn¡¯t that An Ye couldn¡¯t feel the slight disdain and probing in the eyes of the other people present, but she couldn¡¯t care so much. For her purpose, she had to continue pretending.


    An Ye slowly raised her head and looked at Hang in front of her. She had a confused expression on her face as if she had just returned to her senses.


    She looked at him with grievance and confusion. Her moist eyes were full of accusation and doubt. She cried and complained, ¡°Second brother! What did I do? Do you have to push me like this? I was just dizzy and couldn¡¯t stand properly. I didn¡¯t fall on purpose!¡±


    ¡°What did you say? Was I randomly rubbing against you? I¡¯m an innocent girl! Are you saying this to make me die of shame and anger? I like you so much. How can you be so cruel to me? You still dare to scold me for being shameless! Is your heart made of iron?¡±


    An Ye¡¯s looks were sweet and cute, to begin with, and she was even more familiar with these aggrieved and ignorant gestures. When those infatuated and plaintive complaints came out, anyone who saw them would feel heartbroken and unbearable. How could a man treat a girl like this?


    Zhuang Hang looked at An Ye coldly, quietly watching her performance.


    An Ye¡¯s soft whimpers echoed in the corridor of the 10th floor. Zhuang Xian looked at An Ye on the ground with a smile. Was she planning to give up? Not only did she fail to seduce her second brother, she even turned the tables on him. What good tactics!


    She squatted in front of An Ye and looked straight into her eyes. She smiled and said, ¡°Miss An, what are you doing? If you cry like this, others might think my second brother abandoned you. When did you two promise to marry each other? How come we didn¡¯t know about it?


    You¡¯ve always liked my second brother, but feelings can¡¯t be forced! You know that my second brother doesn¡¯t like you. You¡¯re making the situation too ugly by pestering him! My second brother saw that you and Zhuang Jie suddenly had a nosebleed, so he kindly stopped to help you two find a doctor. Aren¡¯t you being too unkind to bite back like this?¡±


    Although Zhuang Xian¡¯s last sentence was a question, it was filled with sarcasm. Her expression was too calm, but her eyes were full of disdain.


    Hearing this, An Ye looked at her pitifully and said softly, ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying. Second brother misunderstood me and scolded me first, so I retorted! Why? Only you people from the Zhuang family can bully others, and I can¡¯t refute it. What kind of logic is this?¡±


    When Lily arrived with the doctor, they were just in time to witness this scene.


    ¡°Heavens! What¡¯s going on?¡± Lily asked in a feigned surprise as she directed the doctor to check on Zhuang Jie¡¯s condition.


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at Lily and chuckled. With a stern look, she said, ¡°Alright, since you say you don¡¯t understand what I¡¯m saying, then let¡¯s ask the person in charge of the shop to pull up the surveillance video just now. What if you tried to seduce my second brother but were rejected by him instead? Or is it just like you said, my second brother pushed you down for no reason and didn¡¯t have enough tender feelings for you!¡±


    ¡°You! Preposterous ¡­¡± An Ye tried to refute Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, but just as she opened her mouth, Zhuang Xian spoke first.


    ¡°You also know that this matter is absurd? When you made it, why didn¡¯t you think it would embarrass you and make you unable to leave the stage?¡± Zhuang Xian spoke very quickly and sarcastically, ¡°As a girl, self-respect and self-restraint should be the most basic, right? How can you expect others to respect you if you don¡¯t even respect yourself? My second brother is a gentleman. He only pushed you away and scolded you. That¡¯s already the most gentlemanly thing to do. Would you be better off if it were anyone else?¡±


    Zhuang Xian had taken the initiative to speak first, and An Ye¡¯s brain was quickly working on how to refute her. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the foreign beauty standing at the side say, ¡°Miss, do you want to wipe off the blood from your nose? After all, our shop has surveillance cameras all over the corridor area, and so many people are watching. Don¡¯t you feel embarrassed?¡±


    When An Ye heard this, she suddenly remembered the wet feeling on the tip of her nose. She reached out and touched it and suddenly felt dizzy.

 Chapter 138 - Ill Send Them Off

    An Ye shook her head slightly and tried to wake up. However, she realized her hands and feet were cold, and her body was weak. This was a sign of excessive blood loss!


    An Ye wanted to fight Zhuang Xian, but she could only put it aside for now. After all, nothing was more important than her life.


    She reached out to grab Lily¡¯s leg and said weakly, ¡°Are you the boss of this place? You have to save me. Call an ambulance for me, quick!¡±


    Smiling, she gestured for the waiters behind her to help her up. She comforted her. ¡°Alright, miss. Since you¡¯re Ms. Zhuang¡¯s friend ¡®, you¡¯re also a guest of Lanwei. I¡¯ll call an ambulance for you! Close your eyes and rest for now. Don¡¯t talk anymore, okay?¡±


    An Ye instinctively felt that the boss¡¯ words were a little strange, especially when she mentioned ¡®friends¡¯. She choked and felt very stifled.


    However, her confused mind and panicked heart told her she had no time to care about anything else. Her life was the most important thing!


    The doctor Lily had brought over quickly examined Zhuang Jie, but he did not find anything wrong. After getting up, he hurriedly said, ¡°The patient¡¯s condition is very unusual. We can¡¯t find the cause for the time being, and we can¡¯t start treating her! For the sake of their safety, I suggest that they be sent to the hospital! Hurry up!¡±


    Zhuang Jie pressed on her blood-soaked collar and weakly nodded. She sobbed, ¡°Hurry up! Send me to the hospital! I¡¯m dying!¡±


    An Ye turned her head to look at Zhuang Jie¡¯s condition and was also quite frightened. She couldn¡¯t see her condition, but it was similar to Zhuang Jie¡¯s. Their faces were pale and looked like they were about to die!


    The ambulance came very quickly. Lily got someone to push the wheelchair over and wanted to take Zhuang Jie and An Ye down the stairs.


    Zhuang Xian reached out and stopped Zhuang Hang, who wanted to follow her into the elevator. She said gently, ¡°Second brother, get them to help you with your clothes first. Then, go back to the private room upstairs and have dinner with our parents!¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Hang¡¯s anxious expression, Zhuang Xian smiled and said, ¡°Second brother, listen to me!¡±


    She looked at Zhuang Hang with indifference and relief, as if sending Zhuang Jie and An Ye to the hospital was strange and absurd. Still, it was just a very normal thing!


    ¡°Dad has been thinking about Lanwei for a long time. There have been enough interludes and twists and turns today. We can¡¯t let him return in disappointment! I don¡¯t think Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s situation is serious. It¡¯s not worth it for us to go to such great lengths for them. You go back and calm Mom and Dad down first. Hmm¡­Tell them that I won the grand prize and I¡¯m in a hurry to see the prize. Tell them to eat first and not wait for me!¡±


    Zhuang Hang furrowed his brows and looked at Zhuang Xian in disagreement. He confusedly asked, ¡°How do you know it¡¯s not serious?¡±


    As he spoke, he realized he had gotten the point wrong, so he quickly continued, ¡°Do you think mom will believe your excuse? Besides, how can a little girl like you solve this problem? No, I¡¯ll go. I¡¯ll be back after I drop them off at the hospital!¡±


    Zhuang Hang let out a breath of air, feeling extremely frustrated. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the old lady and his aunt would be challenging to deal with in the future, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered with this trivial matter! It was so annoying!


    Seeing that Zhuang Hang was about to leave, Zhuang Xian reached out and pulled on his sleeve. She pouted unhappily, ¡°But I don¡¯t want you to be so close to An Ye, second brother! I don¡¯t like her, and I don¡¯t want her to be my second sister-in-law!¡±


    Zhuang Hang was stunned. ¡°What?¡±


    The cheeky girl raised her eyebrows and smiled. She said naughtily, ¡°So, let me go! You¡¯re a guy, so it might not be convenient for you.¡±


    After Zhuang Xian¡¯s lively and lovely smile hit him, he did not return to his senses for a long time. By the time he thought of what to say, Zhuang Xian had already stepped into the elevator. She smiled at him and gestured for him to return, telling him not to worry!


    Zhuang Hang looked at the elevator door slowly closing, and a weak smile hung on his face. After he slightly exhaled, he had to admit that his sister¡¯s method of dealing with the situation was perfect!


    If his parents found out about this, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to have lunch.


    His parents would not abandon Zhuang Jie. They still had to give old Mrs. Han some face. After all, his Aunt was not someone to be trifled with!

 Chapter 139 - The Counterattack

    Zhuang Jing only had one daughter! Zhuang Jie! And she usually protected her like a precious treasure. If she found out they didn¡¯t care about Zhuang Jie¡¯s life and just had a family dinner here, she would probably cause a huge ruckus!


    Moreover, An Ye was good at pestering people. Although Zhuang Hang might not be afraid of her, it was still very annoying to be disgusted by flies!


    Zhuang Hang knew that An Ye harbored ill intentions toward him. Today¡¯s situation was unique. If he left them here, it would be morally unacceptable. Zhuang Hang felt that it was better to stay away from An Ye. His sister¡¯s worry was not without reason!


    Zhuang Hang looked at the bloodstain on his chest with disgust as he thought about this. His brows were so tightly knitted that it seemed like he wanted to kill a fly.


    ¡°You, come over.¡± Zhuang Hang said to the waiter behind him, ¡°Is there any way to quickly get rid of these bloodstains?¡±


    The waiter thought for a moment and said, ¡°Sir, it¡¯s not easy to clean up!¡± We have spare new shirts for our customers. Tell me your size, and I¡¯ll bring them to you!¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded and gave him the measurements. He thought his sister was smart to know that Lanwei had such a service. When he thought of Zhuang Xian, he felt a sense of tenderness in his heart.


    In this matter, Zhuang Xian had considered everyone¡¯s feelings and the overall situation, but she had neglected herself!


    She didn¡¯t seem to like them either, but she had to do something that would make her unhappy for her family. She was sensible, adorable, and intelligent.


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian, her second brother was praising, was sitting behind Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s emergency bed. She looked coldly at the doctor in the ambulance who was starting to stop their bleeding.


    Zhuang Xian looked at An Ye and Zhuang Jie¡¯s deathly pale faces, her heart unmoved.


    If she could, she even wanted to get rid of the two of them directly to resolve the blood feud of being slandered, framed, and used by them in her previous life!


    However, on second thought, Zhuang Xian felt that letting them die so quickly was a little too easy on them. Cunning and scheming women like them did not deserve to die!


    She wanted to let them taste the inhuman pain she had suffered in her previous life. Only then would it be fair!


    ¡°Eh? It was bizarre! Their blood pressure and heart rate were normal, but why did the bleeding not stop? It¡¯s too strange!¡± The doctor in the ambulance looked at Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s heart rate monitors and felt very strange.


    He turned to Zhuang Xian, sitting in the car, and asked, ¡°Can you tell me in detail what happened when they first started to have a nosebleed? I¡¯ll be able to make a judgment.¡±


    Zhuang Xian pretended to be in deep thought and told the doctor everything that had just happened. She looked at the doctor¡¯s doubtful and worried face, and a faint smile appeared in the depths of her eyes.


    She thought that if such an ordinary emergency doctor could see through her means, all the years she had spent in Saint Valley Medicine would have been in vain.


    She wore a beautiful silver necklace on her exquisite neck. The pendant on the necklace was a unique style of ¡°Di cut grass¡±. The pendant was hollow inside, and Zhuang Xian usually used it to store some of her medicinal powder!


    Just now in the elevator, the strange smell that Zhuang Jie had smelled but quickly dissipated was a special powder made by Zhuang Xian.


    This powder could rapidly damage a person¡¯s nasal mucous membrane and skin. It would also affect the efficiency of blood platelets, directly affecting the human body¡¯s coagulosis function, which was why they were bleeding non-stop.


    As for why Zhuang Hang did not fall for it, it was all thanks to the food that Zhuang Xian usually cooked for her family. She would use many precious medicinal herbs and ingredients to make medicinal cuisines and tonic soups for her family members. Apart from strengthening their bodies, they also had the effect of resisting some toxins from invading their bodies.


    Just now, Zhuang Xian had only used a little powder on Zhuang Jie and An Ye to test her skills, so it would not affect Zhuang Hang¡¯s physical condition!


    Because of their greed and self-deception, only Zhuang Jie and An Ye were defeated by Zhuang Xian.


    If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame themselves!

 Chapter 140 - . Friend?

    It wasn¡¯t that Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t give them a chance, but Zhuang Jie was too considerate of An Ye.


    How could Zhuang Xian sincerely invite them to a banquet? She would not give anyone the chance to ruin her parent¡¯s good mood!


    ¡°I can¡¯t see anything from what you¡¯ve said, but is there anything else? For example, what they had in the morning, what they had contact with, and if they had any serious allergies!¡± The doctor thought for a while and realized he had no idea where to start. He looked at Zhuang Xian and asked softly.


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at the doctor. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that. I met them not long ago, so we¡¯re not that close!¡±


    ¡°Not very close? Who are you to them?¡± The doctor was stunned and asked subconsciously.


    Then, he seemed to have realized something and quickly asked, ¡°If you¡¯re not their relative, you can¡¯t give them the signature! When we enter the hospital later, quickly call the adults over!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s my cousin.¡± Zhuang Xian pointed at Zhuang Jie and said.


    She then looked at the doctor and replied obediently, ¡°I know I can¡¯t sign it. They should have called home, and they will come over soon. I only accompanied them here; I won¡¯t make things difficult for the hospital!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she took out her phone and sent a message. Then, she sat back down obediently.


    The doctor looked at the beautiful girl strangely. He couldn¡¯t understand why they had let a young girl come with them when so many people were in charge of the restaurant. Isn¡¯t this nonsense?


    The ambulance soon arrived at the emergency room of Ren Xin Hospital. Zhuang Xian strode out and followed the medical staff at a moderate pace.


    As she stepped into the emergency room, Zhuang Xian¡¯s phone rang. She took it out and glanced at it. When she raised her head again, she saw Si Rong in a white coat in the distance.


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback. She did not expect to see Mo Qian¡¯s friend here.


    Si Rong also saw Zhuang Xian and asked in surprise, ¡°What are you doing here? Who¡¯s injured?¡±


    Zhuang Xian walked over slowly and looked at him indifferently. She said softly, ¡°I brought someone over. I¡¯ll be leaving soon. ¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re leaving already? They¡¯ve just been sent in!¡± Si Rong said in surprise.


    In the next moment, when he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s indifferent expression, he seemed to have understood something.


    He asked with great interest, ¡°So, who is the person who was sent here? To trouble the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth miss to come personally!¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt that it was annoying to deal with intelligent people. Si Rong¡¯s expression was irritating, as if he had sensed something.


    ¡°My cousin and her friend suddenly had a nosebleed just now. They couldn¡¯t stop it no matter what they did, so they called the hospital for emergency treatment.¡± Zhuang Xian explained.


    Si Rong stuck his hand into his white coat and raised an eyebrow. ¡°Oh? Just like this?¡±


    From what he knew, Zhuang Xian was someone who could cure Mo Qian of his drunken dreams. How could a mere nosebleed stump her?


    Unless she didn¡¯t want to help these two people at all.


    ¡°What else?¡± Zhuang Xian put on a helpless expression and retorted.


    What¡¯s with this Si Rong? That strange expression on his face seemed to say that his words were a problem. Did she look strange?


    Si Rong shrugged and said, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s nothing.¡±


    As he spoke, he suddenly suggested to Zhuang Xian in a low voice, ¡°But you did look a little strange just now. How can a patient¡¯s relative get out of an ambulance with such a carefree and leisurely look? Right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him coldly and did not say anything.


    She was already merciful by letting the two of them stay alive and be admitted to the hospital. Hence, Si Rong¡¯s current behavior toward Zhuang Xian was a little provocative.


    ¡°What does my attitude have to do with you?¡± Zhuang Xian said coldly.


    Si Rong raised his brows and looked at the cold Zhuang Xian in surprise as he explained, ¡°You¡¯re the person my brother likes. I¡¯m just giving you a friendly reminder. If you feel offended, then I¡¯m very sorry! I thought we were already friends. ¡±


    ¡°Do you and your friends test each other and make fun of each other like this?¡± Zhuang Xian asked Si Rong, refusing to back down.

 Chapter 141 - Privilege

    In the afternoon, the weather in City H suddenly turned cold. A light breeze blew, and dark clouds emerged. The thick clouds pressed down the sky above people¡¯s heads, giving them a slightly suffocating and terrifying feeling.


    Si Rong was stunned by Zhuang Xian¡¯s stern and indifferent aura. He paused for a moment before he said earnestly, ¡°I don¡¯t have any intention of testing you ¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s best. ¡°Zhuang Xian interrupted Si Rong. As she walked past him, her unfinished words fell into his ears. ¡°I don¡¯t like people testing me, and I don¡¯t like to joke around with people I¡¯m unfamiliar with. In the future, you should avoid such behavior if you can.¡±


    When Si Rong heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s cold voice or warning, he was surprised. Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t seem to be very friendly to him!


    Did Mo Qian¡¯s progress in chasing her come to a standstill again? Why was Zhuang Xian treating him like this? They were like strangers. No matter what, they had at least played together a few times! Why did she turn her back on him?


    As Si Rong thought about it, he suddenly smiled helplessly and bitterly. He watched as Zhuang Xian¡¯s noble and cold back disappeared into the emergency room corridor. He pinched his nose awkwardly. Alright, he could only blame himself for speaking too naturally and being too curious!


    Zhuang Xian was a woman of character.


    With Si Rong¡¯s personality and temperament, he wouldn¡¯t argue with Zhuang Xian over this. He was more curious about Zhuang Xian¡¯s attitude towards Mo Qian. Did she like him? Or did she not feel anything?


    ¡°Director Si! The emergency room is waiting for you. We¡¯re ready; please come over quickly!¡± A nurse rushed out of the corridor and yelled at Si Rong.


    ¡°I will be there,¡± Si Rong replied in a low voice.


    Zhuang Xian, who had just walked into the emergency room, was sitting quietly outside the emergency room alone. She was holding her phone and replying to Zhuang Hang¡¯s message.


    Lanwei Western restaurant, 11th floor, VIP area.


    Lin En¡¯s eyes kept darting to the door of the private room. She thought that the two people who had just gone out would be back soon, and the dishes on the table had been served, but they had not returned. What was going on?


    Lin En muttered to herself, ¡°Xian¡¯ er has been gone for so long. Why isn¡¯t she back yet? It¡¯s been almost half an hour! And the second brother. I had asked him to bring Xian¡¯ er back for dinner. Why is he taking so long? I¡¯m a little hungry!¡±


    Zhuang Huai stared at the exquisite food on the table and looked at Lin En accusingly, ¡°Mom! Are you still worried that they¡¯ll get lost in Lanwei? Why don¡¯t we eat first? They should be back soon. ¡±


    Zhuang Ming put away his phone and looked at the results. He said happily, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? They¡¯re not back yet, anyway. I¡¯ll take a few more photos for my friends to see.¡±


    Zhuang Huai was speechless. It was okay if his mother had this habit, but why did his father have this habit of taking photos when he went out to eat and play?


    Zhuang Huai thought about it and understood. His father had always followed his mother¡¯s lead, so it wasn¡¯t hard to understand why he would follow her! However, he seemed to have been fed a mouthful of dog food again.


    Zhuang Huai felt so hungry that he was about to lose his mind. What nonsense was he thinking about?


    ¡°By the way, Xian¡¯ er has been gone for a long time. Did she win some big prize?¡± Zhuang Ming looked at the pictures with satisfaction and raised his head to ask Lin En.


    Lin En turned to look at him and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know! I¡¯ll call and ask!¡±


    ¡°No need, Mom. She just won a grand prize downstairs. She¡¯s so happy she¡¯s gone to see the prizes with the people in the shop!¡± Zhuang Hang had just walked through the door when he heard Lin En¡¯s words and quickly explained.


    ¡°What?¡± Lin En asked, puzzled.


    Zhuang Hang sat back in his seat and pretended to calm down, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first and not wait for her!¡±


    Lin En looked at the unusual Zhuang Hang and asked with a strange expression, ¡°Why didn¡¯t she tell us? No, that¡¯s not right! This isn¡¯t her style of doing things!¡±


    ¡°Yeah! Younger sister doesn¡¯t do things like this; how could she leave us here without any explanation?¡± Zhuang Huai looked at Zhuang hang and asked in confusion.

 Chapter 142 - Mutual

    Zhuang Huai, who was extremely sensitive to the changes in people¡¯s emotions, saw that Zhuang Hang suddenly started to lick his lips subconsciously. He pointed at his second brother and shouted, ¡°Second brother, are you lying? You had liked to lick your lips when you were nervous since you were a kid. I¡¯ve caught you!¡±


    Zhuang Hang was a little speechless. What should he do if his brother was too stupid? He wanted to kill him!


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Tell me properly!¡± Zhuang Ming said calmly.


    The three looked at Hang, and the scene suddenly became quiet.


    Zhuang Hang was speechless.


    Under this kind of invisible mental pressure, Zhuang Hang finally chose to compromise. He knew it; these little tricks and lies couldn¡¯t be hidden from Zhuang Ming and the others!


    Zhuang Hang let out a long sigh and said frankly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you!¡±


    He frowned and repeated what had just happened. He felt very helpless. He thought that if he had to come clean, so would it. Now that he had told them the truth, he would feel more at ease.


    After the ambulance picked up Zhuang Jie and An Ye, they would call the patient¡¯s family. Perhaps, her Aunt and the An family had already rushed over!


    Lin En heard her son¡¯s words and stood up with a frown. She said, ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem right; I¡¯m worried!¡±


    She looked at Zhuang Ming and continued, ¡°You guys eat! I want to go over and take a look.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the point of eating? Let¡¯s hurry over too!¡± Zhuang Huai also stood up abruptly and picked up the clothes at the side. ¡°With aunt¡¯s personality of quibbling even when she¡¯s unreasonable, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be good for my sister to send someone over!¡±


    Today¡¯s protagonist, Zhuang Ming, had already gotten up and put on his clothes. When he saw everyone looking at him, he said strangely, ¡°Why are you looking at me? Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Zhuang Hang felt a warm feeling in his heart as he watched his family leave. Everyone loved Zhuang Xian. They were family!


    In this world, perhaps only two-way love can last long! Everyone cared about each other, not caring about who was a burden to who or who was causing trouble for who. They cared for and supported each other. That was what family was.


    Zhuang Hang felt that he had only agreed to Zhuang Xian¡¯s suggestion because he had overthought things. His father was not the kind of person who would care more about a meal than his children! He had always loved his children the most!


    Zhuang Hang stood up and followed behind them. His sister¡¯s plan seemed to have been ruined, but he felt his sister would be even happier!


    When Zhuang Huai left the room, he even specially instructed the service staff to help pack up the food that had not been touched.


    The waiter looked at the customer, who left without looking back and was confused. He muttered to himself, ¡°Sir, don¡¯t you know that we never pack for our customers?¡±


    However, on second thought, he felt he should inform the Manager about this matter. After all, these guests were super members. It was not impossible to make a precedent for them.


    Lily, sitting in her office, heard the report from her subordinate. Without a pause, she said, ¡°Help them pack it up. Please keep it in a thermal box and send it to the Zhuang family. Don¡¯t let it get cold!¡±


    ¡°But we don¡¯t have such a rule or precedent,¡± the Manager quickly said, stunned.


    ¡°There is now; hurry up!¡± Lily said coldly. She did not expect her Boss to care and love the Zhuang family so much. It seemed that Boss¡¯s family loved her a lot, too!


    As the beloved disciple of Lanwei¡¯s Boss and the person in charge of Lanwei¡¯s restaurant in country Z, what was wrong with her delivering food to the person in charge? Even if there was no precedent, wouldn¡¯t it be acceptable to break it? How big of a deal was this?


    To Lily and Zhuang Xian, this was indeed not something worth considering. However, to the Manager, this was an unprecedented event!


    3S¡¯s members were overbearing. They were independent and wanted to create a precedent even if there was none.


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian did not know that Lily had done everything for her. At this moment, she was standing in the stairway compartment of Ren Xin hospital, expressionlessly listening to her subordinate¡¯s report on Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Miss! Their conditions are slowly getting better. The dosage of the medicinal powder you used this time was minimal, so by the time they were sent to the hospital, the effect had already worn off! If you need me to do anything, I can ¡­¡± Zhang Tao lowered his head and stood respectfully beside Zhuang Xian as he said slowly.


    ¡°No need for now. If I wanted to kill them, they wouldn¡¯t have been sent to the hospital alive.¡± Zhuang Xian interrupted him.


    .

 Chapter 143 - The Gate of Death

    For the sake of secrecy, Zhuang Xian specially instructed, ¡°Just don¡¯t let anyone else find out. Trap them in the hospital and wait for my message.¡±


    ¡°Alright, miss!¡± Zhang Tao replied. He lifted his head slightly to look at Zhuang Xian and continued with a respectful smile, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry. Ordinary medical machines can¡¯t detect the powder you developed! The hospital will only think there¡¯s something wrong with the patient¡¯s immune system and won¡¯t discover it¡¯s poison!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded slightly. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhang Tao and said, ¡°I¡¯m not here today just for this. I need the organization¡¯s information channel to help me investigate something about the Soul Devouring Bureau ¡­¡±


    When Zhang Tao heard the name of the Soul Devouring Bureau, he raised his head and looked at Zhuang Xian with bright eyes.


    To hide her identity, Zhuang Xian rarely contacted the organization. She had already retired to the second tier of the underworld gate for several months.


    A few months ago, he was very reluctant when the gate master of the dark life gate heard that she wanted to step down from the frontlines. Zhuang Xian was the organization¡¯s mainstay; without her, the dark life gate was like losing half an arm!


    However, Zhuang Xian had something that she was determined to accomplish. No one could stop her, not even the high-ranked leader of the underworld gate.


    The sect leader valued talents and naturally cherished a person like Zhuang Xian. It was impossible to stop her from retiring to the second tier.


    Zhuang Xian took the initiative to look for him to ask the organization for help. If the sect master knew about this, he would probably be delighted. Zhang Tao was very excited as he thought of this.


    ¡°I¡¯ll follow Miss¡¯s orders. ¡°Zhang Tao knelt on one knee and said respectfully.


    Zhang Tao was the Deputy Chief physician of Ren Xin hospital¡¯s emergency department. Still, his secret identity was the young gate master of the eight principal branches of the underworld gate. The latter was in charge of information channels.


    Zhuang Xian was the leader of the three great assassins of the underworld gate. Her nickname was ¡®Silent¡¯.


    She used to be a legend among the assassins of the underworld gate. She was an inextinguishable and superior existence!


    As the head of the organization¡¯s information and logistics department, Zhang Tao had always admired the assassin, Silent. He was highly honored and excited to be able to meet Zhuang Xian today. His calmness and self-control just now resulted from his forced pretense.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already found the source of the soul-devouring game, but I can¡¯t determine its exact location! I¡¯ll send you the information, and you can find someone to help me dig deeper. I want to know everything about this stinky organization. Inform me as soon as you have any news!¡± Zhuang Xian sent the information on her phone to Zhang Tao without expression.


    After Zhang Tao felt the vibration of his phone, he nodded and replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Alright, you can get up! Don¡¯t keep kneeling.¡± Zhuang Xian looked at him and said with a severe expression.


    Zhang Tao stood up and looked at Zhuang Xian. He thought for a while and asked, ¡°Miss, how did you meet our Director Si? I just saw you talking to him at the emergency room entrance for a long time.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was slightly taken aback. She did not expect Zhang Tao to have seen what happened just now. It was not a big deal, so Zhuang Xian explained, ¡°I¡¯m a friend of a friend. I¡¯m not very close.¡±


    Zhang Tao nodded and did not say anything else.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the time. It was getting late. She had to go back to Lanwei to meet her parents, so she gave them a few more simple instructions and left.


    At this moment, their respective family members surrounded Zhuang Jie and An Ye lying in the same ward. Their bleeding had been stopped, but they looked haggard and miserable because of the excessive blood loss.


    Zhuang Jing was by Zhuang Jie¡¯s side. She had already cried for a while. Her eyes were red as she listened to Si Rong¡¯s description of Zhuang Jie¡¯s condition. Her delicate and mean eyebrows gradually furrowed. ¡°What do you mean by the cause is temporarily unknown? Did I spend so much money to hear you say this? You¡¯re the ones who are incompetent and can¡¯t find out! And you claim to be the first hospital of City H? I think you¡¯re just scamming us!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Si Rong, who had an ugly expression on his face, and raised her eyebrows. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you still not convinced?¡±


    ¡°Alright! What does our daughter¡¯s illness have to do with the doctor? Why are you angry at him?¡± Zhang Ting furrowed his brows and looked at Zhuang Jing with an awkward expression.


    He recognized Si Rong. He was the eldest son of the Si family and someone he didn¡¯t dare to offend.

 Chapter 144 - The Mighty Department Director

    However, Zhuang Jing, who had always been arrogant and overbearing, didn¡¯t care about this. She glared at her husband and scolded him sternly, ¡°You piece of trash! You only dare to groan in front of me. What¡¯s the use of having you? It was their hospital¡¯s fault for being incompetent, so why can¡¯t I say a few words? Zhuang Jie was still alive and kicking when she left this morning. How did she become like this after just a few hours? What kind of lousy hospital is this? They can¡¯t even find out the cause of the illness! You¡¯re trash!¡±


    Zhuang Jing seemed to have gone mad with anger. She grabbed Zhang Ting and scolded him. Her voice was so sharp that everyone in the ward frowned.


    Si Rong looked at her indifferently and put away the file in his hand. He said coldly, ¡°Since this family doesn¡¯t like Ren Xin¡¯s medical skills, you can take your daughter and leave! The hospital has no rules that force people to buy or sell, and they are not slaves to the patients and their families! Everyone is equal! The cause of Zhuang Jie¡¯s illness is indeed unknown. If you want to leave, you better leave early!¡±


    The other medical staff in the ward finally felt a little better after hearing Si Rong¡¯s words.


    Director Si was mighty. That¡¯s right. When this patient¡¯s family member entered the ward, she pointed at the sky and cursed. She even scolded him for not turning on the lights in the middle of the day. Wasn¡¯t she being unreasonable?


    They had been in the hospital for so long, but this was the first time they had met such an arrogant person! Those who didn¡¯t know better would think that her family owned the entire hospital. Her snobbish and bossy face made people feel uncomfortable! Who owed her?


    Their Department Director was still the most heroic. His sharp mouth had always been indestructible, and it simply made people vent their anger.


    ¡°What ¡­ What do you mean?¡± Zhuang Jing frowned and asked in a high-pitched voice.


    Si Rong was also speechless at this kind of person. He looked away, not wanting to see this ugly face any longer.


    Then, he remembered the scene where Zhuang Xian had left in a hurry. No wonder she had slipped away after sending him here. So this was the reason. Zhuang Jing was like a dog-skin plaster. She stuck to whoever she saw. It didn¡¯t hurt much, but it was disgusting!


    He had heard that Zhuang Ming¡¯s generation of the Zhuang family¡¯s children was not easy to get along with, especially this Zhuang Jing, who was the most outstanding. Now that he had seen her, she was worthy of her name!


    ¡°I mean it literally.¡± Si Rong said coldly as he casually tossed the medical record to a nearby doctor. He crossed his arms and said calmly, ¡°Help this patient¡¯s family transfer to hospitals. They can go wherever they want! A benevolent heart can¡¯t hold such a Great Buddha!¡±


    Si Rong didn¡¯t become a doctor because he wanted to save lives but because he was interested. His status as the young master of the Si family was enough for him to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. He didn¡¯t want to suffer in such a way.


    When Zhuang Jing heard this, she immediately exploded. She stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, ¡°Si Rong! Do you think the Zhuang family is afraid of the Si family?¡±


    Seeing the situation was not good, the An family could no longer sit by and watch. Madam An¡¯s face had a standard muddled smile, and she dragged out her voice to comfort her, ¡°Aiya, Mrs. Zhang, why are you saying this? We¡¯re here to treat our child. Why did you quarrel with the doctor? I know you¡¯re worried about Jie¡¯s condition, but Ren Xin hospital is the best choice right now! Let¡¯s not hide our illnesses, avoid treatment, and listen to the doctor! Is that good?¡±


    As Madam An spoke, she reached out to pull Zhuang Jing back to her chair.


    Zhang Ting also looked at Zhuang Jing with a face full of worry. His brows were furrowed so tightly that it seemed as if he wanted to squash a fly. He earnestly said, ¡°Yingluo isn¡¯t awake yet! It would help if you let her have a good rest. As for the investigation ¡­ We can talk about it later!¡±


    When Zhuang Jing heard this, she took two deep breaths and tidied her expensive dress as if she had finally calmed down. ¡°I¡¯m not going to argue with you because of my daughter ¡­¡±


    Si Rong couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to her bullsh*t. The corner of his white coat fluttered in the wind, and he looked disdainfully at her. He didn¡¯t care about Zhuang Jing at all. He had no idea how someone like her could live such a good life. It was God¡¯s fault that she wasn¡¯t beaten to death.


    Seeing that Si Rong had turned around to leave, Zhuang Jing was about to get angry again. However, she was interrupted by the voices outside the door before she could curse.


    ¡°What are they arguing about? You can hear the sound from far away!¡± Zhang Tao adjusted his glasses and gave Si Rong a look that said, ¡°Leave this to me! He looked at Zhuang Jing with a sly and friendly smile.

 Chapter 145 - Scare You to Death

    Si Rong gave Zhang Tao a slight nod and left the stage.


    Zhuang Jing looked at Zhang Tao and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Zhang Tao smiled and introduced himself. He looked at Zhuang Jie¡¯s pale and weak face. A deep look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared so quickly that no one noticed it.


    This doctor was gentle and easy to talk to, so Zhuang Jing put on her airs again. She thought of the news she had just heard from the other doctors and said bluntly, ¡°I heard that Zhuang Xian was the one who brought Yingluo and An Ye to the hospital. Where is she? How come I didn¡¯t see her? Did she run away because she felt guilty?¡±


    Zhang Tao pretended to be stunned. ¡°You¡¯re talking about the kind person who brought the patients here. She has already left!¡±


    ¡°What? Let¡¯s go! I haven¡¯t even asked her what¡¯s happening, and she¡¯s running away. When did she leave? I¡¯ll go and catch her!¡± As Zhuang Jing spoke, she quickly got up and was about to leave. Her intuition told her that this matter had something to do with Zhuang Xian.


    City H was so big, and there were so many restaurants. How did they end up meeting Zhuang Xian? She said that Zhuang Xian was kind enough to save Yingluo. Hmph! She would never believe it! How could that little B*tch Zhuang Xian be so kind? Zhuang Jing thought to herself.


    1


    Moreover, Yingluo¡¯s illness was so strange and ferocious. Did it have nothing to do with Zhuang Xian? She didn¡¯t believe it!


    This matter was strange, and the scope of control was enormous. It was a perfect opportunity. If she could operate it well and blame Zhuang Xian, she would not be afraid that Zhuang Ming would not come forward to help his good daughter.


    When that time came, she would naturally have a way to get the old Madam to stand on her side. The old Madam did not like her third brother to begin with. If she allowed this situation to continue, would she still be afraid of Zhuang Ming snatching everything from the old Zhuang family in the future? He wanted to, but the old lady would not allow it!


    ¡°Why are you in such a hurry to find her? Isn¡¯t the patient¡¯s condition the most important thing right now?¡± Zhang Tao pretended to be confused.


    Zhuang Jing¡¯s footsteps stopped, and she looked at him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what grudges you have with that girl, but it seems that this matter has nothing to do with her! It¡¯s an innate disease of the immune system, and it¡¯s not affected by any external factors.¡± Zhang Tao smiled faintly as if speaking up for an innocent passerby.


    ¡°Did your daughter have any previous medical reports? Is it still there? Did the old man in your family have any history of genetic diseases? Do you have any hereditary hemophilia or something?¡± Zhang Tao took a pen and paper and asked about her medical history.


    Zhuang Jing and Zhang Ting were startled by his serious look, and their faces paled. The doctor¡¯s question didn¡¯t mean anything good, did it?


    Zhuang Jing sat back down obediently and looked up at Zhang Tao. She carefully recalled who had suffered from a significant genetic disease in the family.


    Zhang Ting was so nervous that his heart was beating faster. He only had one daughter, Zhuang Jie. He couldn¡¯t let anything happen to her! Zhuang Jie was the key to his connection with the Zhuang family!


    Zhang Tao looked at the parents, who had their thoughts, and answered his questions with a worried expression. He laughed secretly.


    With his abilities, it didn¡¯t seem that difficult to take down these people and complete the mission given to him by Silent!


    The An family looked at the Deputy Director¡¯s solemn appearance and were frightened. Their An Ye was the same age. Did she also have some strange illness?


    In the hospital ward, Zhang Tao was trying to scare the people on behalf of Silent. At the entrance of Ren Xin Hospital, Zhuang Xian was being blocked by the Zhuang family who had just arrived.


    Zhuang Xian did not expect her family to chase her to the hospital. She had already settled the matter here. With Zhang Tao around, Zhuang Jing and the An family probably would not have the time to find trouble with her. She could focus her attention on other things.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her parents¡¯ unhappy expressions and Zhuang Hang. She asked him silently, ¡°What is going on? Didn¡¯t we agree on this?¡±


    Zhuang Hang felt a little guilty and turned his head away without saying anything.


    His heart was at ease seeing his sister standing in front of him, safe and sound.


    Lin En looked around at the people walking to and fro; it was not a good place to talk. She sighed and asked, ¡°Zhuang Jie has been sent in?¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and smiled obediently. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mom. Auntie is already here. We don¡¯t need to do anything else. Let¡¯s go home!¡±

 Chapter 146 - Showing Extreme Benevolence

    Lin En couldn¡¯t be bothered to care about Zhuang Jie¡¯s affairs. She wasn¡¯t that kind and generous. Zhuang Jie had tried to harm Zhuang Xian several times in the past, and she still remembered it all!


    If it weren¡¯t for Zhuang Ming, she wouldn¡¯t have let those things go so quickly.


    She had rushed over only because she was worried that Zhuang Jing would pester Zhuang Xian. She was relieved when she saw that her daughter was fine and standing in front of her.


    From time to time, muffled thunder would flash in the sky, and the air was getting increasingly sticky and hot. It seemed that heavy rain would come soon!


    Zhuang Ming looked up at the dark sky and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s all settled, let¡¯s go home. It looks like it¡¯s going to rain heavily today.¡±


    Lin En glanced at Zhuang Ming and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s true. Let¡¯s go home quickly. It¡¯s not safe if we encounter heavy rain on the road later.¡±


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian did not object. She obediently followed behind the Zhuang family and got into her second brother¡¯s car. They had driven two vehicles this morning.


    Zhuang Xian was sitting in the front passenger seat with Zhuang Hang. Seeing that her parents¡¯ car had already started and left, she turned her head to Zhuang Hang, curled her lips, and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to stabilize them? Why did you bring them along? The second brother, you¡¯re not very reliable!¡±


    1


    ¡°I¡¯m innocent!¡± Zhuang Hang¡¯s hands were nimbly on the steering wheel. He pretended innocent and said, ¡°I knew your excuse wouldn¡¯t work. I just opened my mouth, and Mom saw through me ¡­¡±


    ¡°I can testify to this. Second brother was indeed trying to trick us! But his acting skills were too bad, and Mom and I saw through him at a glance! Sister, you don¡¯t know this, but second brother¡¯s acting skills have always been terrible. Most importantly, the second brother is the worst at lying in front of Mom! You¡¯re making things difficult for him!¡± Zhuang Huai, sitting in the car¡¯s back seat, interrupted Zhuang Hang¡¯s words and gloated.


    Seeing that his second brother was being ¡®accused¡¯ by his sister, Zhuang Huai¡¯s heart that wished for the world to be in chaos also came alive.


    Usually, second brother always liked to tease him. It should be time to get back to him today. He was going to take revenge on his second brother.


    ¡°Second brother is quite unreliable. In the future, if you need someone


    to cooperate, you can look for me, third brother! I¡¯m a professional. ¡°Zhuang Huai moved closer to Zhuang Xian¡¯s seat and said excitedly.


    If Zhuang Huai had so easily bullied Zhuang Hang, he would have been a second brother for nothing all these years.


    His slender fingers were on the steering wheel in front of him. After a slight smile, he retorted, ¡°Third brother, your words are too unreasonable! Why didn¡¯t you think of working with us in front of Mom and Dad just now? I¡¯m so happy to see you tear down my stage! Why? Now that you¡¯re in front of your sister, you¡¯re showing off? Belated advice!¡±


    Even though Zhuang Hang said he did not continue on this topic, he looked at Zhuang Xian and asked worriedly, ¡°I didn¡¯t have time to ask you just now. Did you meet my Aunt and the others in the hospital? Did Auntie and the An family make things difficult for you? If you were bullied, you have to tell us. We¡¯ll help you vent your anger!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at the car¡¯s front window. With a relaxed smile, she said, ¡°I¡¯m not stupid! I won¡¯t do something that will get me scolded if I go over! I¡¯ve already seen her character last time! I won¡¯t do such a strenuous and unrewarding thing in the future!¡±


    ¡°So? You didn¡¯t run into her directly, did you?¡± Zhuang Huai anxiously asked.


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at him and smiled, ¡°Of course not! How could I have retreated so quickly if I had bumped into her? Maybe I¡¯ll need you guys to save me? After I sent Zhuang Jie and An Ye to the emergency room, I immediately left!¡±


    Zhuang Hang looked at his sister¡¯s sly and happy face and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s very good.¡± We¡¯ve already done our part. She can¡¯t blame us for what they have on us!¡±


    Zhuang Huai, sitting in the back seat, nodded in agreement. He chuckled and praised her sincerely, ¡°Younger sister, you¡¯re brilliant. You¡¯ve done a good job.¡±

 Chapter 147 - Macaron

    As Zhuang Huai spoke, he suddenly let out a soft sigh and continued with a dispirited expression, ¡°AI! However, it¡¯s a pity that our family¡¯s gathering this time was so beautiful! This morning had been full of twists and turns! In the end, I didn¡¯t even get to eat a single bite!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her third brother helplessly and shook her head. She smiled and comforted him, ¡°Third brother doesn¡¯t need to be unhappy! You¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities in the future. You can go there directly when you want to. ¡±


    Zhuang Hang held the steering wheel with one hand and massaged his temple. He also felt that this morning had been frustrating. Not only did he meet a group of weirdos, but he also met them twice in a row!


    ¡°Hehe! But there¡¯s still one good thing!¡± Zhuang Huai reached out and pinched Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face as he smiled.


    Zhuang Xian swatted his hand away and turned to look at him. Her calm eyes silently hinted, ¡°Hurry up and say it¡±.


    ¡°I asked the waiter to pack up all the delicacies we hadn¡¯t eaten yet! It¡¯s still edible after we heat it at home!¡± Zhuang Huai said proudly.


    Zhuang Hang saw his proud self-perceived intelligence and felt his hands itch. He wanted to give his brother a slight ¡®loving caress¡¯.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she was slightly taken aback. Her brothers did not know about Lanwei¡¯s rules, so they did not think anything was wrong with their request. However, Zhuang Xian did!


    Lan Wei had rules about takeout or takeaway. Its customers could only choose to dine in the main hall. This was something that Lan Wei had always adhered to to ensure the taste and quality of its food. Since third brother was willing to take it away, Lily had to be the one to agree!


    Lily was not wrong. She had given her a lot of face. She could consider giving her a raise in the future.


    At this moment, Madam Lily still did not know that Boss Shire would raise her salary. If she knew, she would rush over and kiss Zhuang Xian to express her gratitude!


    The Zhuang family.


    The lush vegetation in the courtyard swayed left and right from the strong wind. The wind mixed with the raindrops, and they fell at will.


    Lin En sat at the table, listening to the sound of the wind outside. She said happily, ¡°Fortunately, we came back in time. Otherwise, we would have been stopped by the rain on the way! This rain is terrifying!¡±


    Auntie Jiang was standing at the table, busy serving the dishes. She smiled and said, ¡°Yup! After this rain, it will probably get increasingly colder.¡±


    Zhuang Hang went to his room and changed his clothes. When he came out, he looked at the still-steaming delicious food and asked in surprise, ¡°It¡¯s been almost an hour, right? Why are the dishes still hot?¡±


    ¡°No wonder Lan Wei is the world-famous food and beverage giant. Look at their delivery service. It¡¯s so professional and thoughtful.¡± Zhuang Huai said, very satisfied.


    He had already picked up his chopsticks and was staring at the delicious food. He had been eager to try it for a long time.


    Zhuang Ming looked at his silly son and chuckled, ¡°Quickly eat! I¡¯m also hungry. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian sat beside Lin En and gave Lin En and Zhuang Ming a blue macaron each. The temperature of the macaron dessert was not very strong, so it would not affect the taste too much.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions and smiled gently. After taking a bite of his Macaron mint green coat, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, ¡°Mm! This macaron is indeed delicious! This lemon Kashida sauce was amazing! It¡¯s delicious!¡±


    Hearing her father¡¯s praise, Zhuang Xian smiled and did not say anything.


    Zhuang Huai looked at his father¡¯s surprised expression and couldn¡¯t wait to try one. He picked one up and looked at Zhuang Xian with a wronged expression. ¡°Sister only has parents in her heart. Why didn¡¯t you pick one for me and second brother? You¡¯re biased.¡±


    ¡°AI! Please don¡¯t talk to me! I have my own hands!¡± Zhuang Hang looked at Zhuang Huai and retorted.


    Mocked for having no hands, Zhuang Huai could not care about Zhuang Hang¡¯s teasing. After eating a macaron, his face was filled with amazement, just like Zhuang Ming¡¯s.


    ¡°Mm! It¡¯s delicious! The taste of ordinary macarons was usually sweet or even sweeter, but this one was right! No wonder they¡¯re experts in Western food. It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Zhuang Huai raised his head slightly and exaggeratedly complimented.

 Chapter 148 - A Good person?

    Lin En also kept nodding her head to express her satisfaction and surprise. All the waiting and suffering today were not worth mentioning when she ate this macaron!


    ¡°Xian ¡®er, you should eat too! Look at your two brothers; they¡¯re like hungry ghosts. You wouldn¡¯t even have a share if your hand speed was any slower.¡± Lin En glanced at her husband and two sons working hard. She turned to Zhuang Xian and smiled helplessly.


    Zhuang Xian also smiled at her. She was delighted. As long as her family liked it, it was fine.


    Just like that, this slightly late meal was considered complete amidst the family¡¯s exclamations and sighs.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s food, even if it had oxidized over time and become cold from the air, very few people could resist its charm!


    Teacher Jason had once praised Zhuang Xian as his perfect student. She was the youngest and most fantastic head chef of Lan Wei. The value of this title was real and would never diminish.


    The torrential rain and strong wind outside did not seem to affect the peace at the Zhuang family¡¯s dining table. Zhuang Xian had always cherished and hoped for this everlasting and warm feeling.


    She hoped that her family could be happy and safe forever. She also hoped that she could protect them permanently and not let them be invaded or threatened!


    The Zhuang family¡¯s peaceful and happy atmosphere was completely different from the atmosphere in Ren Xin hospital.


    Zhuang Jie woke up under Zhuang Jing¡¯s worried gaze. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to confirm if she was still alive. She looked at Zhuang Jing and asked, ¡°Am I dead, mom? Where is this place?¡±


    Looking at her precious daughter¡¯s haggard and pale face, Zhuang Jing¡¯s heart ached. She reached out to hold her daughter¡¯s wrist and gently said, ¡°Mommy¡¯s Baby! What nonsense are you talking about? You only have a little nosebleed, don¡¯t scare yourself!¡±


    ¡°But mom, I feel so bad! I¡¯m weak, and my brain is in a daze!¡± Zhuang Jie said weakly.


    When Zhuang Jing heard her words, she thought about what Doctor Zhang had just said, and her heart couldn¡¯t help skipping a beat. What would she do if Zhuang Jie found out that she had an incurable disease?


    Although the examination results were not out yet, and Doctor Zhang¡¯s words were very tactful, the meaning behind his words gave her a bad feeling!


    Zhuang Jie could feel her mother¡¯s grip on her hand tightening. She snorted and said, ¡°Mom, you¡¯re hurting me!¡±


    Zhuang Jing came back to her senses and quickly loosened her grip. She said in a gentle tone, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, baby, mommy was a little distracted!¡±


    Zhuang Liang looked at her mother, who was acting strangely, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, mom? What happened? Where¡¯s An Ye?¡±


    ¡°An Ye has already been transferred to the ward next to yours. She¡¯s fine, so you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±Zhuang Jing explained.


    ¡°Then ¡­ What about Zhuang Xian? Is she not here?¡± Zhuang Jie looked at the empty private ward and asked curiously.


    When she lost consciousness in the ambulance, she saw Zhuang Xian. Why was she not here now?


    Zhuang Jing frowned and looked at Zhuang Jie sternly. ¡°Tell me everything that happened at Lan Wei restaurant.¡±


    Zhuang Jie was frightened by Zhuang Jing¡¯s expression. She nodded timidly and told Zhuang Jing about her encounter with Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang at Lan Wei.


    After listening to Zhuang Jie¡¯s story, Zhuang Jing¡¯s frown deepened. She did not find anything suspicious, nor could she find any excuse to frame or accuse Zhuang Xian.


    1


    Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang called the emergency number. Zhuang Xian even personally sent them to the hospital for treatment and helped pay the first medical expenses. It seemed like she was a kind and innocent person who didn¡¯t care about past grudges.


    However, since Zhuang Hang had been involved from the beginning to the end, why didn¡¯t he come with them? This didn¡¯t seem to match his personality!


    And since Zhuang Ming and Lin En were both there, why didn¡¯t they, as her uncle and aunt, come over to show their concern for Zhuang Jie?

 Chapter 149 - Trying to Frame Someone

    Zhuang Jing had been in the hospital for a long time, but she had not seen Zhuang Ming or Lin En, not even a phone call!


    Zhuang Jing thought about it and said to Zhuang Jie with some hatred, ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s fine if Lin En doesn¡¯t pretend to be polite with us, but your uncle is also so heartless to you now! He did not even bother to pretend along with Lin En now! When I return, I¡¯ll complain about him in front of the old lady. Let¡¯s see how he can still be arrogant in front of me!¡±


    Zhuang Jing had thought of so many excuses and reasons to target them. Ultimately, it was nothing more than trying to pin this matter on Zhuang Hang, Zhuang Xian, and Zhuang Ming!


    Even if this matter had nothing to do with them, she couldn¡¯t just let it go.


    She had to think of a way not to let them feel comfortable. Zhuang Jie¡¯s current physical condition was unclear, so she could not just sit around and wait for her death! No matter what, she had to gain something from them!


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t understand why Zhuang Jing was so hostile to him. They had been like this since they were young. It was as if they were not siblings but enemies.


    Zhuang Ming was intelligent and quick-witted and could be considered honest and sincere. Naturally, he would not understand the thoughts of a selfish, evil person born with evil in her blood!


    It was close to 2 a.m., and the rain in City H became heavier. The rain fell from the sky as if it was washing away the dirt on the ground.


    Zhang Tao received a report from his subordinates at the last minute, saying that they had found out that the Soul Devouring Bureau was going to hold a massive auction in city H tomorrow night!


    Zhang Tao held the information just sent over from the fax machine and muttered in surprise, ¡°This small Soul Devouring Bureau has quite the guts! The private sale of black medicine was banned, and they still dared to hold an auction. He values money more than his life!¡±


    Zhang Tao complained as he quickly sent a message to his agent,


    The work efficiency of the Dark Life Gate had always been excellent, but this time, Zhang Tao felt it was a little too fast and smooth! Master had only instructed him to investigate the Soul Devouring Bureau yesterday afternoon. In the end, only half a day had passed, and the Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s auction had appeared of its own accord!


    He had just wanted to sleep when someone handed him a pillow! Not bad. As Zhang Tao thought about this, he sent a message to Silente, asking if he needed to arrange for some men to travel with her.


    After half a minute, Zhang Tao received a message with only two words: ¡®No need.¡¯


    This was the same reply he had expected in his mind a second ago.


    Zhang Tao chuckled and felt that he had just been a little possessed. She was a simple person. In terms of martial strength, how could she need the help of others?


    Zhang Tao had worked together with her once before. Just Silente alone was able to take on and destroy a modern military unit of 30 people! She was so strong that she didn¡¯t seem human, but more like a god of war from the legends!


    The following day, the rain gradually lessened, but it was still drizzling.


    Zhuang Xian was forced to cancel her outdoor morning run and change to an indoor gym. Zhuang Hang ran leisurely on the treadmill beside her, talking to her as he ran.


    ¡°After this rain, it will be autumn. The matter of entering the school should be on the agenda. I¡¯ll send you to school then!¡± Zhuang Hang said gently.


    Zhuang Xian nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all ready! Anything is fine.¡±


    Zhuang Hang felt that his sister was a bit absent-minded today as if she had something on her mind. Just as he wanted to chat a little more with her, he was interrupted by Zhuang Huai, who suddenly appeared behind him.


    ¡°I knew it! It¡¯s raining today, so you two can¡¯t run in the morning! So you¡¯re hiding in the gym?¡± Zhuang Huai said lazily as he yawned and stretched his arms.


    Zhuang Xian turned her head and looked at him indifferently. She noticed that he was wearing a sports t-shirt and long pants. She asked in surprise, ¡°Third brother, do you also need to do morning exercises?¡±


    ¡°Is the sun rising from the west today? Since our family¡¯s third young master isn¡¯t lazing around in bed anymore?¡± Zhuang Hang also turned around to look at Zhuang Huai and jokingly said with a serious face, ¡°You¡¯re going to start training? It¡¯s scarce!¡±

 Chapter 150 - . Silly Little Brother

    Although Zhuang Hang¡¯s mouth was naughty, the smile in his eyes was warm and generous. He seemed to be in an excellent mood.


    Zhuang Huai did not respond to Zhuang Hang¡¯s teasing. He did a few simple stretches before walking on the treadmill.


    He casually switched on a leisurely walking mode, pinched his nose, and said calmly, ¡°Although our work has been stagnant recently, I have to practice more to fit the role and appear on-screen!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian on his left, smiled, and said softly, ¡°Sister, can you take me along when you do your morning exercises in the future? My image in the movie is a police officer, so I need to be more solid!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded in agreement. She felt that since it was something that happened in passing, there was no reason to delay it. She thought about it and asked, ¡°Have you decided on the female lead for this movie?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I have! Even the second female lead, Bai Ning, who was previously chosen by the crew, I think that she is quite suitable! What she needed to find now was someone to take over her position! The role of the second female lead in our script is quite outstanding, but there are too few scenes!¡± Zhuang Huai slowly explained.


    ¡°Who are you talking about? Bai Ning?¡± Zhuang Xian paused for a moment and asked anxiously.


    Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Hang both looked at her in surprise. Did her sister also chase after celebrities? Does she like this Bai Ning?


    Zhuang Huai nodded. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Bai Ning! Why? Do you know her?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and looked at Zhuang Huai before explaining, ¡°I don¡¯t know her, but I¡¯ve seen her in a few dramas. I think her acting skills are quite good! It should be considered a strong team if she acts with you!¡±


    ¡°The strong joining forces? Hehe, these words make me feel good! Sister, you also think I¡¯m good at acting, right?¡± When Zhuang Huai heard this, the corners of his handsome lips curled up, and he could not hide his excitement!


    Zhuang Xian looked at her third brother with a slightly amused expression and said with certainty, ¡°You¡¯ve always been amazing! Don¡¯t be misled by the prejudices and misunderstandings the entertainment industry has against top celebrities. Who says that a famous top celebrity doesn¡¯t have any ability? You¡¯ve always been an exception! You¡¯re very powerful, third brother!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words came from the bottom of her heart. Zhuang Huai had always been a top star and was not a useless flower vase.


    He could sing and dance, and his acting skills were also excellent. Perhaps because the light above his head was too bright, many people had overlooked his true strength!


    In her previous life, her third brother was injured because of Lin Yi¡¯s intentional framing. He missed out on this movie and also lost the Best Actor award that initially belonged to him and Bai Ning!


    Bai Ning was a genius actress. She was one of the three best actresses in her previous life. She was very popular for a while, but unfortunately, she was a poor person who had a crush on her third brother.


    In her previous life, she and third brother had missed each other many times. In this life, after all her suffering, they had met from the beginning.


    In Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart, she suddenly felt relieved.


    It turned out that even if they didn¡¯t know about their past and present lives when they were given a second chance, they would still meet the person they should love, and the person they should love would never be late.


    Ordinary people couldn¡¯t understand fate!


    After Zhuang Huai heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s passionate confession, how could he not go crazy?


    He jumped off the treadmill and rushed to Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. He grabbed Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist and pulled her into his arms, shouting excitedly, ¡°Good sister! So big brother is such a powerful person in your heart! Am I that powerful? Am I so different? Sure enough, little sister, you have good taste. You can see the rare noble quality of big brother at a glance! Hahaha!¡±


    Zhuang Xian snapped back to her senses and looked at Zhuang Huai, who had locked her in his arms. She resisted the urge to hit him and not send him flying!


    Why didn¡¯t she realize that third brother had such a groping side in her past life?


    Looking at her third brother¡¯s silly expression, Zhuang Xian tried to struggle but realized his grip was firm. If she did not use force, she would not be able to get away!


    She turned around to look at her second brother, who was stunned and cast a pleading look at him.


    Zhuang Hang looked at his silly brother and his sister, who was begging him for help. He smiled helplessly and pulled Zhuang Huai away. ¡°You can talk, but do you need to touch your sister? Have you never been praised before? Is there a need to be so happy? Just look at how stupid you are!¡±

 Chapter 151 - Little Cotton Jacket

    Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang¡¯s morning exercise today had become highly chaotic because of Zhuang Huai¡¯s participation. Lin En and Auntie Jiang, who were in the living room, could hear their laughter and scold from the gym.


    Lin En exchanged looks with her and smiled helplessly.


    Thanks to the Zhuang family¡¯s big business, the gym was big enough to fit the three of them!


    When they returned to the living room on the first floor, Zhuang Ming had already woken up. Lin En looked at her three energetic children, especially the beautiful Zhuang Xian, and could not help but smile.


    She pulled out the chair in front of her and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Xian ¡®er, come and have breakfast! The two of you, come over.¡±


    When she said the second half of her sentence, she raised her chin slightly at Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Huai, but her eyes were still fixed on Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Huai felt helpless when he saw his mother¡¯s blatant discrimination. He followed his sister over and sat down beside her. He couldn¡¯t help but say sourly, ¡°As expected, my position as the youngest and the favorite of the Zhuang family is gone forever!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be so smug. Didn¡¯t you self-proclaim yourself as the group¡¯s pet? Other than you, who else in our family has admitted to it?¡± Zhuang Hang, sitting opposite him, picked up a glass of milk and calmly took a sip.


    Zhuang Huai smiled indifferently, shrugged his shoulders, and moved closer to Zhuang Hang. He said with a smile, ¡°Second brother, don¡¯t be in a hurry to scold me! Can¡¯t you tell? In mom¡¯s eyes, we¡¯re just worthless weeds, not as precious as a sister! So, let¡¯s not hurt each other. I request peaceful coexistence and work together against the outside world!¡±


    Zhuang Hang expressionlessly glanced at his third brother, who was playing around. When he turned his head to look at Lin En and Zhuang Xian, he saw his mother smiling at her younger sister, and her smile was as gentle as water!


    The three brothers rarely saw such a motherly look on Lin En¡¯s face. In front of them, their mother was more like a little girl who would act coquettishly and blame others. She rarely showed them such a doting feeling.


    Zhuang Hang chuckled and shook his head. He thought that his third brother was right. His mother¡¯s attitude towards the three brothers and his sister differed significantly.


    He smiled helplessly. ¡°Peaceful coexistence is possible, but let¡¯s forget about being united against external forces! After all, a wise man submits to circumstances.¡±


    Zhuang Ming was sitting in the main seat, looking at the day¡¯s schedule on his phone. He looked up at Zhuang Hang and praised him, ¡°It¡¯s still the second brother who can see the situation clearly and has a pattern!¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he looked at Zhuang Huai on the other side. He raised his eyebrows and tried to persuade him, ¡°In our family, your mother¡¯s position is first, so your sister has to be second. There¡¯s no harm in understanding this rule early!¡±


    Zhuang Xian initially watched her two brothers bicker with each other with great interest, but after hearing Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, she laughed helplessly. She looked at Zhuang Ming and said gently, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re wrong. Mom¡¯s authority in this family is the first, but in my heart, you¡¯re second.¡±


    With Zhuang Ming¡¯s love for Lin En, he would not fight for first place with Lin En. In his heart, he was even hoping that the whole world would come together to cheer Lin En up.


    ¡°People always say daughters are the parents¡¯ most intimate little cotton-padded jacket. This saying is correct!¡± Zhuang Ming laughed out loud and turned to look at Lin En lovingly. ¡°Our precious daughter is so good at talking. I like it.¡±


    Lin En looked at him with gentle eyes and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine if the children are fooling around, but why are you also following suit? Don¡¯t you have a regular meeting today? Hurry up and go after breakfast, don¡¯t be late.¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Lin En dotingly and nodded. ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I know! It¡¯s the shareholders¡¯ meeting today, so you should come along. Tell me, how long has it been since you last went to the company?¡±


    ¡°Why should I go? It¡¯s so wet today; wouldn¡¯t it be nice for me to have a beauty sleep at home?¡± Lin En said proudly as she raised her head slightly.


    Lin En felt it was wise to retire from the company and be a full-time housewife. Finally, she no longer had to worry about the company¡¯s business. With Zhuang Ming around, she didn¡¯t have to worry about anything.


    However, Zhuang Ming just wanted to stick to Lin En. When he heard what Lin En said, he immediately put on a pitiful expression.

 Chapter 152 - . Ambiance

    Ming En Corporation.


    Lin En helplessly watched Zhuang Ming leave the office reluctantly. She took a light breath and looked at Zhuang Ming¡¯s office. It had been a long time since she last came to the office.


    ¡°Are these two pots of green plants not watered? Why are the leaves all yellow?¡± Lin En looked at the plants by the glass window and asked.


    Zhuang Xian sat on the sofa in the reception area, sipping on a glass of warm water. She smiled at Lin En. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because you didn¡¯t come, Mom, so Dad didn¡¯t have time to take care of them!¡±


    ¡°Nonsense. Your father has so many assistants. Don¡¯t tell me none of them remembered to water his plants? ¡± Lin En retorted.


    Zhuang Xian quietly looked at her mother, who had a harsh mouth but a soft heart. She chuckled and didn¡¯t say anything.


    In the past few decades of Zhuang Ming¡¯s life, Lin En seemed to have been manipulating him all the time. In the eyes of others, he was a wife-doting maniac and was always obedient to his wife. However, only they knew the actual situation.


    Zhuang Ming loved Lin En deeply, and so did Lin En!


    It was also tricky for Lin En to reject Zhuang Ming. Between her and Zhuang Ming, everything had its weakness. Because they loved each other, they couldn¡¯t do anything to each other.


    Lin En seemed unable to stand Zhuang Xian¡¯s teasing gaze and reproached her softly, ¡°I didn¡¯t know what to do with your father, so I was forced to follow him! You¡¯re just looking at me like you¡¯re watching a show, so quickly get rid of that look!¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled, blinked her eyes, and said cheekily, ¡°I know that Mom was forcefully dragged here by Dad. It¡¯s not because she¡¯s soft-hearted or can¡¯t bear to see Dad!¡±


    ¡°You little brat, you¡¯re still teasing me ¡­¡± Lin En laughed.


    Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a knock on the office door.


    Zhuang Xian and Lin En looked at the door at the same time. Lin En said gently, ¡°Who is it? Please come in!¡±


    ¡°Eh? Is Chief Zhuang not here?¡± Mo Qian, pushed in by Mo Xi, seemed to have just seen the people in the room and asked doubtfully.


    He gave Lin En a slight nod and greeted, ¡± Mrs. Zhuang, Fourth Miss.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s probably in the big conference room for a meeting now,¡± explained Lin En with a smile. Did President Mo have something urgent to do? If you¡¯re in a hurry, I¡¯ll call him over.¡±


    ¡°Since CEO Zhuang is busy, I¡¯ll wait for him here! Don¡¯t disturb him. It¡¯s not something significant, so there¡¯s no need to rush.¡± Mo Qian looked at Lin En and explained in a gentle voice.


    Hearing this, Lin En smiled and nodded. She stood up and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go out and get the assistant to make a cup of tea for President Mo!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Mo Xi said respectfully to Lin En and naturally left the place.


    Mo Qian watched Lin En leave the office from the corner of his eye. He turned to look at Zhuang Xian and said softly, ¡°Why did the fourth Miss come to the company today? ¡±


    ¡°I accompanied my mother here.¡± Zhuang Xian glanced at Mo Qian and explained in a calm voice.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s face, which had suddenly turned cold, and he furrowed his brows in confusion. When he pushed the door open and came in, this little girl was still talking and laughing with her mother! Why was she so cold to him after Lin En left?


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You don¡¯t look happy to see me.¡± Mo Qian propped his chin on his hand and asked in a gentle voice.


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm expression, Mo Qian chuckled. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done anything to make you unhappy, right? Why aren¡¯t you smiling when you see me?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t smile, not that I¡¯m unhappy! President Mo, you¡¯re too sensitive!¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were fixed on the things on the table as she said expressionlessly.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian with a deep gaze. Since they had separated in his courtyard, Zhuang Xian had been avoiding him, intentionally or otherwise.


    Since then, the two of them had become less natural and easy-going. When they spoke, there would be awkwardness for a period. Even if they happened to be in the same room, Zhuang Xian would look cold and cut her words short, just like what she was doing now.


    Mo Qian¡¯s intuition was not wrong. Zhuang Xian was indeed a little unhappy. As for a reason, perhaps even she was not sure.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian for a long while before replying, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this now. I heard from Si Rong that he saw you at the hospital yesterday and said something that made you unhappy ¡­¡±

 Chapter 153 - Leg Injury Relapses

    ¡°Are you talking about that? I don¡¯t mind anymore. Didn¡¯t Doctor Si tell you?¡± Zhuang Xian interrupted Mo Qian¡¯s words and spoke indifferently.


    Zhuang Xian could feel the strange atmosphere between the two of them. She frowned and wanted to escape from this scene. However, Mo Qian¡¯s sudden approach made her freeze.


    As Zhuang Xian was speaking, Mo Qian had already inched closer to her. When she turned her head and noticed Mo Qian¡¯s approach, he was already in front of her.


    He even reached out his slender and well-defined hand to gently pinch Zhuang Xian¡¯s chin. The distance was too close, and his breath could already be felt on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face.


    Zhuang Xian was stunned for a moment. She felt a voice flash past her ear, but before she could catch it, Mo Qian paused. Zhuang Xian subconsciously asked, ¡°What did you just say?¡±


    Mo Qian furrowed his handsome brows and said with displeasure, ¡°I¡¯m talking to you so closely, and you¡¯re still distracted?¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s dazed expression, Mo Qian¡¯s grip tightened. His expression was calm as he repeated his words to Zhuang Xian in a cold voice.


    He said, ¡°I was asking you just now! Why you had to arm yourself like a porcupine so that no one could get close to you? I won¡¯t hurt you, so why are you avoiding me?¡±


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian could see the confusion and worry in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, and even more than that, there was a deep and sincere affection.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart suddenly panicked, and she subconsciously raised her hand to push Mo Qian¡¯s hand away. In her panic, she did not have time to restrain her strength. After a loud bang rang out in the empty office, she was stunned.


    The back of Mo Qian¡¯s hand immediately turned red, but he did not seem to feel anything. He only frowned and looked at Zhuang Xian in confusion.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words of apology were stuck in her throat. She said coldly, ¡°Just talk, don¡¯t come so close to me.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s heart suddenly throbbed in pain as he looked at Zhuang Xian in this state. His calf seemed to have spasms uncontrollably as it began to twitch and tremble for no reason.


    Mo Qian¡¯s face instantly turned pale. He held his trembling calf with one hand and turned the wheelchair around with the other, leaving his back and the back of his head to Zhuang Xian, who was stunned.


    Even though Mo Qian had completed this series of actions very quickly, they were too close to each other. Zhuang Xian could see his pained and pale handsome face and the slightly embarrassed and apologetic look in his eyes.


    He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but it still leaked from the corners of his lips. His hand that was holding his calf had already begun to tremble.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian¡¯s stubborn yet fragile back. Before she could even react, her hand had already landed on Mo Qian¡¯s shoulder.


    She heard her voice. ¡°Your old injury has relapsed? Did you bring your medicine?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s forehead was covered in a cold sweat from the pain. Hearing this, he didn¡¯t forget to comfort her softly, ¡°I¡¯m fine; I¡¯ll be fine in a while. I¡¯ll go out for a while; I don¡¯t want to scare you!¡±


    As he said this, his tone suddenly lowered by degrees. The apology that sounded like an angry voice was finally spat out from his throat.


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows and stood abruptly in front of Mo Qian. She lifted the thin blanket covering his long legs and reached to pinch his twitching calf.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands exerted force as she skillfully and vigorously massaged Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian seemed shocked by Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions as he looked at her in disbelief.


    He wanted to push Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand away and not allow her to touch his legs. This was the only black spot and flaw in his life. He didn¡¯t want Zhuang Xian to see him in such a sorry state!


    But Zhuang Xian¡¯s words made him stop. ¡°Don¡¯t move! It¡¯ll be fine after this!¡± Zhuang Xian said in an irrefutable tone. Her eyes were filled with concern that she did not notice.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian and his thin, bloodless lips suddenly curved into a beautiful arc. He smiled and said, ¡°Why did you help me? Can¡¯t you just let me die from the pain? This way, no one will bother you!¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± Zhuang Xian raised her eyes and glared at him as she sneered.


    Even after being criticized by Zhuang Xian in such a cold and unkind manner, the curve on Mo Qian¡¯s lips did not fall. If outsiders saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop in shock!

 Chapter 154 - Massage

    He was Mo Qian! He was the only person in power in the entire Mo Corporation. Now that he was being scolded in such an impolite tone, he could still smile happily. Could it be that someone had stolen his body?


    1


    In the few minutes that Zhuang Xian had been massaging Mo Qian, her mind had been running wild. She felt that Mo Qian was a very, very strange person!


    He was so afraid of her seeing him in such an embarrassing state, but after she looked at him and was determined to help him, he suddenly began to accept her help very frankly! Wasn¡¯t this strange?


    In terms of weirdness, Zhuang Xian herself was not any better! But she didn¡¯t want to get to the bottom of it because she had a feeling that it wouldn¡¯t be the answer she wanted to know.


    Mo Qian was a strange and fickle old man. Zhuang Xian complained in her heart, but her hands never stopped moving.


    ¡°Your massage technique is very different. It¡¯s so effective in relieving cramps and pain! Did you learn this on your own? Did someone else teach you that? How are you so powerful?¡± Mo Qian looked at the girl squatting before him and said gently.


    His face was a little rosier, and his pair of gorgeous Phoenix eyes had become bright.


    Zhuang Xian sighed and said, ¡°You want to learn? Pay the tuition first, then call me master, and I¡¯ll teach you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s original intention was to get Mo Qian to shut up and stop bothering her, but who was Mo Qian? How could he let Zhuang Xian get her way so quickly?


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian and suddenly laughed evilly. Zhuang Xian had a bad feeling about this and quickly interrupted, ¡°Good! I¡¯ve already taught you, so don¡¯t say anymore.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian and chuckled. His voice resonated in his solid chest. It was so musical that it had an inexplicable bewitching feeling. ¡°I haven¡¯t called you master yet! Why did you agree to it?¡±


    ¡°I ¡­ I¡¯m just happy to help people, can¡¯t I?¡± Zhuang Xian raised her voice and retorted loudly.


    When Lin En and Mo Xi returned to the office with freshly brewed hand-ground coffee, they were just in time to see this scene.


    The head of the Mo family, Mo Qian, who had always been in a high position, was being scoffed at by the girl squatting in front of him. However, his eyes were filled with an indulgent smile. It was as if he would accept this girl¡¯s unruly and rude behavior with a smile.


    At a glance, Mo Xi knew that his young master¡¯s leg injury had temporarily relapsed. He took a few steps over nervously and asked, ¡°Young master, did your leg injury relapse? Are you feeling better? Do you want me to call the doctor over?¡±


    Lin En also followed Mo Xi into the room. She looked at Zhuang Xian, still squatting on the ground and pinching Mo Qian¡¯s calf, and frowned.


    Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian¡¯s current position was a little too intimate. She had never known that their relationship was this close!


    Mo Qian shook his head at Mo Xi and bent over to hold Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist. He smiled at her and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m already much better! Thank you,¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian retracted her hand and stood up. She rubbed her sore wrist, glanced at Mo Qian, and then looked at her mother. Suddenly, she felt that the atmosphere had become a little awkward!


    How could Mo Qian not understand the meaning in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes? He looked at the silent Lin En and took the initiative to explain, ¡°Just now, the fourth Miss was massaging the old injury on my leg. It happened so suddenly, and I¡¯m very sorry. I hope I didn¡¯t scare you, Mrs. Zhuang!¡±


    ¡°Oh, no! It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. I was slightly surprised when I didn¡¯t know that Xian ¡®er had such massaging skills.¡± Said Lin En with a smile.


    Zhuang Xian smiled and explained, ¡°I had learned a few moves from a teacher in school. It¡¯s great that I can help you, President Mo!¡±


    ¡°Thank you very much! You¡¯ve been a great help to me. I¡¯ll treat you to a big meal to express my gratitude.¡± Mo Qian pretended to nod and said with a faint smile.


    How could Mo Qian not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s concerns? Zhuang Xian did not want the Zhuang family to know about her overly complicated identity and jaw-dropping abilities.


    Since Mo Qian had accidentally discovered her secret, he naturally had to keep it a secret for her.


    Moreover, Mo Qian had promised Zhuang Xian that he would never betray her.


    It was nothing to cover for her.

 Chapter 155 - . Thanks

    The few of them sat together and chatted for a while. Because Mo Qian was not feeling well, he did not wait for Zhuang Ming to return from the meeting. He had to give the information for Zhuang Ming to Lin En instead.


    Lin En looked at mo Qian¡¯s pale face and nodded. ¡°I understand. If you¡¯re not feeling well, you should go back and rest! I¡¯ll give it to him.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Mrs. Zhuang! I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Mo Qian said with a faint smile. Mo Xi¡¯s face was tense as he looked at Mo Qian with worry.


    He knew that if the young master did not go home to take his medicine, he would not be able to take it anymore.


    This time, Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury recurrence was much more severe than before! It seemed like he had to go to the Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s auction tonight!


    Mo Xi was thinking about these things in his heart, and his entire person became silent.


    At this moment, Mo Qian¡¯s heart was focused entirely on Zhuang Xian, so he naturally did not notice .o Xi¡¯s abnormality.


    Before Mo Qian left, he did not forget to remind Zhuang Xian, ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you promised me.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Zhuang Xian was confused.


    ¡°You promised to make pastries for me. Have you forgotten?¡± Mo Qian did not seem to notice Lin En¡¯s gaze behind him. He was only focused on getting back his benefits from Zhuang Xian.


    Feeling that her mother¡¯s gaze had already shifted to her, Zhuang Xian glared at Mo Qian hatefully. She turned around and said in a low voice, ¡°I know; hurry up and leave.¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know if Mo Qian was doing this on purpose. This man always liked to create a very intimate relationship with her in front of his family. In Zhuang Xian¡¯s opinion, this special reminder had an extremely impure purpose!


    After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s reply, Mo Qian nodded in satisfaction. He thought for a moment, then looked at Lin En and added, ¡°Oh, I haven¡¯t thanked young Master Zhuang yet! Thank him for giving me the Lanwei membership card. It¡¯s a very thoughtful gift, and I like it very much! Thank you,¡±


    Lin En was stunned, her eyes wide as she looked at Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian smiled slightly and allowed Mo Xi to push him out of Zhuang Ming¡¯s office. He still didn¡¯t know how much trouble his polite thanks had brought Zhuang Xian.


    After the two left, Lin En turned to look at Zhuang Xian, her brows furrowed in confusion. ¡°What does Mo Qian mean? Does he also have a Lanwei membership card? And it was given to him by your big brother? What the hell is this? When did he and your big brother meet? Why didn¡¯t your father and I know about this? Isn¡¯t this too strange?¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not expect Mo Qian to bring this up so suddenly. She was stunned for a moment as she tried to come up with an explanation to make things seem more reasonable.


    She had overlooked that her big brother and Mo Qian were not close and were a little stumped by the question.


    ¡°Also! Why didn¡¯t you mention to Mom that you can massage people to treat their illnesses? I don¡¯t mean to interrogate you, but you have many amazing things. Your driving skills and now your massage. What else do you have that we don¡¯t know about?¡± Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian and said in a severe tone.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her mother¡¯s grave expression and was about to explain herself when she was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.


    ¡°Madam! President Zhuang would like to see you. A few of the shareholders¡¯ wives would like to see you!¡± Zhuang Ming¡¯s assistant said respectfully at the door.


    Lin En nodded to the assistant and replied, ¡°Alright, I got it. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    The assistant bowed slightly and turned to leave.


    Lin En looked deeply at Zhuang Xian. There was no blame or unhappiness in her eyes. Like Zhuang Huai had said last time, Zhuang Xian could survive. They should be glad.


    She didn¡¯t understand why her daughter had to hide these things from them. Lin En didn¡¯t want to know about her daughter from others. They were a real family!


    ¡°I¡¯ll go over and take a look at the situation first. We¡¯ll have a good chat later, okay?¡± Lin En said gently as she stroked Zhuang Xian¡¯s hair.


    .

 Chapter 156 - The Appearance of Senior Brother

    Zhuang Xian silently looked at Lin En¡¯s back as she left. To be honest with her mother, she did not know whether she should be glad that she had escaped this calamity or regret that she had lost this opportunity.


    In reality, Zhuang Xian was not afraid of her family finding out about her secret. She had never thought of hiding it from them.


    She hoped that she would never have to bear the blood feud of her previous life if she could. She also wanted to live a peaceful, honest, and happy life with her family.


    However, the concept of reincarnation was too absurd. How could she ask them to cast aside science and reality and choose to believe in her?


    Ever since she was reborn, she had gone through too many things. After all kinds of trials and tribulations, she finally became the Zhuang Xian, who was full of secrets and had countless identities and skills.


    If she wanted revenge, she had to go through all this!


    However, being honest with her family required a gradual process. Zhuang Xian also believed that the Zhuang family would love her forever, which was why she was so fearless.


    After she thought this through, Zhuang Xian¡¯s panic slowly disappeared. She sat back on the sofa and took a deep breath. She was thinking about how to explain to her mother later. Which could be said now and which could be said later.


    But before she could figure this out, her phone rang. Zhuang Xian took the phone and saw who was calling. She was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Senior!¡±


    The tall and slender Yan Zuo, with an outstanding temperament, was standing not far from the main entrance of Ming En Corporation. He was holding a phone and talking to his lovely junior.


    His gentle voice was deep and melodic, like a first-class medicine that could cure a human¡¯s old illness.


    ¡°I¡¯m downstairs at your Dad¡¯s company. Come down quickly; I¡¯ll take you to eat something good.¡± Yan Zuo said gently.


    At this moment, in the world¡¯s limited edition Rolls-Royce super-luxury car sliding past him, Mo Qian¡¯s face was pale as he endured the pain of his old injury¡¯s relapse. Mo Xi looked at him with a worried expression. Yan Zuo, sliding past the window, caught his attention for a second.


    Yan Zuo was dressed in a fresh, refined green Daoist robe, and he exuded a domineering and superior aura. Passersby could tell that he was not a simple person. He was like a banished immortal who had descended from a high mountain.


    Mo Qian¡¯s muffled groan brought the dazed Mo Xi back to his senses. With an anxious expression, he said, ¡°Young master, please hold on a little longer. We¡¯ll be home soon.¡±


    ¡°The massage technique she used on me just now is very effective in relieving pain and spasms. Bring the masseuses home tomorrow and let them learn from her. Even though it¡¯s just a temporary solution, it¡¯s better than nothing!¡± Mo Qian used his left hand to support his forehead, slightly covering his pale face so that others could not see his pained and embarrassed expression. He only spoke in a weak voice.


    Mo Xi¡¯s heart felt like a hundred ghosts were scratching it, and he wished he could bear the pain and torture in his young master¡¯s place. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, ¡± ¡°Yes.¡±


    In Mo Xi¡¯s gloomy heart, he had already begun to plan for the auction at the Soul Devouring Bureau tonight. He must find a way to relieve the young master¡¯s torture.


    Mo Xi and the rest of the Mo family had no idea that two of the disciples of the Sage Valley Medicine, whom they had been searching for, had appeared in City H.


    As for the Azure-robed apothecary that grandma Mo had begged to cure her grandson, Mo Qian, she had been hiding her identity all this while and hanging around Mo Qian.


    However, everyone was blinded by Zhuang Xian¡¯s superb concealment skills.


    Under the building of Ming En Corporation, Yan Zuo looked tenderly at the figure of his little junior sister, who had been longing for, running towards him.


    When the beautiful girl was in front of him, the smile on Yan Zuo¡¯s lips deepened. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time, Qing Yi. Why? Did you grow taller? You¡¯ve also become more good-looking!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her head slightly to look at Yan Zuo and said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s not be so polite! These are the only two sentences you¡¯ve ever praised me with!¡±

 Chapter 157 - . Left

    Yan Zuo chuckled and pinched Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face. He scolded her with a smile, ¡± ¡°Stinky girl.¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled mischievously. She then sized up Yan Zuo¡¯s outfit and furrowed her delicate brows. She pretended to be confused and asked, ¡°Senior brother, did you fly out of Saint Valley Medicine?¡±


    Yan Zuo was taken aback. He didn¡¯t quite understand what Qing Yi meant. ¡°What? ¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re dressed like a banished immortal. Aren¡¯t you an immortal who flew out?¡± Zhuang Xian gave Yan Zuo a look, signaling him to follow her. She didn¡¯t forget to say, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a little out of place for a person like you to appear in the office building of the economic and trade center in the city? Senior brother, you¡¯re too abrupt!¡±


    Yan Zuo caught up with her. He recalled the strange looks the passers-by had given him along the way and finally understood. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I was wondering why everyone was looking at me like that.¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around to look at him. A few words were written in her bright eyes: ¡®Senior brother, your reflexes are a little slow!¡¯


    Yan Zuo smiled and explained indifferently, ¡°I got used to it when I was in the valley, so I didn¡¯t pay attention to this when I came out.¡±


    Judging from Yan Zuo¡¯s thick and heavy connotation, he didn¡¯t seem like a person who would care about what others thought. Whether others managed or not didn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with him.


    Zhuang Xian thought about the Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s auction tonight and felt it necessary to transform her senior brother. To better conceal her identity, she could only ask her senior brother to cooperate with her reluctantly!


    Moreover, as Judge¡¯s chief fashion designer and a well-known worker in the fashion industry, Zhuang Xian shook her head and sighed when she saw her senior brother¡¯s excellent figure wrapped in a plain Taoist robe. It was a waste of God¡¯s gift.


    In any case, her master was not around this time, and only she and her senior brother were going to investigate the truth of the Soul Devouring Bureau. Wouldn¡¯t she have to bring her senior brother, who had not entered the world for a long time, to experience this colorful world?


    When Zhuang Xian saw her senior brother, who had always doted on her, she could no longer suppress the mischief in her heart. The naughty thoughts in her mind began to come alive again.


    Half an hour later, Lin En, who had returned to the office with Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang, was the first to realize that Zhuang Xian was missing!


    She was about to turn around and ask her assistant, but her assistant explained on Zhuang Xian¡¯s behalf, ¡°Madam, Fourth Miss said that she has a friend who came to City H today and wants to take him out to have some fun. She might be back a little later tonight! You were in the meeting room so Fourth Miss couldn¡¯t call you. That¡¯s why she asked me to send you her message.¡±


    Hearing this, Lin En frowned slightly. She took out her phone and saw a message from Zhuang Xian. The content was similar to what the assistant had said. She then heaved a sigh of relief and decided that she would think about it tonight!


    Zhuang Hang listened to the assistant¡¯s words and asked, ¡°What kind of friend does my sister have? Do you know the name? Is it a male or a female?¡±


    The assistant smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know about that. Fourth young Miss didn¡¯t mention it!¡±


    Zhuang Hang was a careful person and felt that this was unusual. Did his sister have any friends in City H that he didn¡¯t know about? And she¡¯s being so mysterious!


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t think much of it. He looked at his frowning wife and comforted her gently, ¡°Alright, stop frowning. Just let Xian ¡®er go out and play with her friends! She¡¯s been stuck with you for the past few days. She must be bored out of her mind! It would help if you let the young people play by themselves. Xian ¡®er is not an insensible child. She knows what she¡¯s doing.¡±


    Lin En raised his head and looked at him, a little distressed. ¡°Did my tone just now sound too harsh, and my baby Xian ¡®er think I¡¯m angry with her? Is she trying to avoid me? That shouldn¡¯t be the case, Xian ¡®er isn¡¯t like this!¡±


    Zhuang Ming was stunned. After exchanging a look with Zhuang Hang, he asked in confusion, ¡°What happened between you and Xian ¡®er? Quarreling?¡± Even though Zhuang Ming asked this question, he did not believe that Zhuang Xian would quarrel with Lin En!


    Lin En shook her head and sat back on the sofa. ¡°How could that be possible? Just now, when Mo Qian came to your office to deliver some documents, the old injury on his foot suddenly relapsed, and it looked severe!¡±

 Chapter 158 - The Strange Self

    Chapter 158: Chapter 158. The Strange Self


    ¡°You guys don¡¯t know! Then, Xian ¡®er used her skillful and unique massage techniques to stop Mo Qian¡¯s pain. From the looks of it, it wasn¡¯t something that could be mastered in a day! Ai! Why didn¡¯t Xian ¡®er tell us about this? Does she have such capabilities?¡± Lin En frowned and said in distress.


    Zhuang Hang listened carefully and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°So, Mom, you¡¯re just upset that sister didn¡¯t tell you about her abilities, right?¡±


    Lin En gave it some serious thought. It seemed to be the case. Zhuang Xian had such unique skills, and she was more than happy. Why would she be angry at her?


    ¡°I don¡¯t know if you guys feel the same way, but Xian ¡®er is very mature and mysterious! She¡¯s like a solid female lead in a TV series!¡± Lin En added. After she finished, she nodded her head in acknowledgment.


    Zhuang Ming smiled at Lin En and said lovingly, ¡°I think you¡¯re just too worried about Xian ¡®er! Wasn¡¯t it a good thing that she was so capable? As a mother, why are you worried? What do you think about all day? Have you watched too many TV shows recently?¡±


    Lin En pretended to glare at him and retorted, ¡°I did have that feeling! Besides, what¡¯s wrong with me watching some TV shows? There¡¯s a popular male lead in a recent drama, and he looks like you when you were young! He¡¯s so handsome!¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Lin En helplessly and asked, ¡°Am I only handsome when I was young? I¡¯m not handsome anymore?¡±


    Lin En laughed and held his face in her hands, softly coaxing her childish husband.


    Lin En and Zhuang Ming were very open-minded parents, which was clear from how they raised their three outstanding sons. Therefore, they invested more in Zhuang Xian¡¯s care and love for her. In the past, they had let the three Zhuang brothers go free.


    Zhuang Hang was stunned. He looked at his parents in a daze. Weren¡¯t they talking about his sister just a second ago? How did the topic of conversation change in an instant?


    Zhuang Hang felt a little uncomfortable after being fed dog food (distracted) by his parents.


    Judge was a fashion brand that did include not only women¡¯s clothing but also adult men¡¯s clothing.


    Zhuang Xian led her senior into the Judge¡¯s men¡¯s section, where there were men¡¯s suits and casual clothes. She quickly found two sets of clothes for Yan Zuo and urged him into the fitting room.


    Yan Zuo helplessly took the clothes and walked in. He didn¡¯t forget to turn around and say to his little junior sister, ¡°You should go and choose! If there¡¯s anything you like, I¡¯ll buy it for you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and waved at him, urging him to go in and try on the clothes.


    Zhuang Xian treated Judge as her own home, so why would she need senior Yan Zuo to pay for her?


    Zhuang Xian was not idle while waiting for Yan Zuo to try on the clothes. She had been swamped recently and had not handed in her design drafts for a while. Judge¡¯s design studio was on the verge of going crazy with anxiety. Zhuang Xian¡¯s fashion philosophy was a money-making weapon for Judge. If she continued like this, Judge¡¯s new collection for this season would probably be over!


    She strolled around aimlessly, and the shop assistant followed her at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. It was unlike other places, where she could not wait to stick to the customers and recommend things to them in a hurry.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw the suit in the large display window.


    The sales assistant was a brilliant person. Seeing that Zhuang Xian was interested, she immediately stepped forward and explained, ¡°Judge¡¯s most experienced designer designed this set for the fall season. It¡¯s more suitable for men with a strong aura and experience. It¡¯s not suitable for your friend!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded her head slightly. She liked this sales assistant¡¯s honesty and sincerity. When she saw this outfit, the first person she thought of was not senior Yan Zuo but Mo Qian!


    Mo Qian¡¯s aura was powerful and supported the suit¡¯s heavy aura. Zhuang Xian¡¯s experienced and precise eyes could tell at a glance that the suit size was just right for Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian¡¯s face flashed across Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind. After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses.


    Zhuang Xian felt a little strange. Why would she suddenly think of Mo Qian? She even wanted to buy something for him. She could almost see Mo Qian wearing this!


    But why? Why did she have such a reaction? Could it be that she had fallen in love with Mo Qian?

 Chapter 159 - The Auction

    Chapter 159: Chapter 159. The Auction


    Zhuang Xian shook her head violently, trying to eliminate this terrifying thought!


    How could she possibly like Mo Qian? That was impossible! That shouldn¡¯t be! Zhuang Xian denied all of this in her heart.


    ¡°Miss? Miss! What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± The sales assistant asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and smiled.


    When Yan Zuo came out of the fitting room, he looked completely different. The exquisitely tailored and elegantly colored suit complimented him!


    The saleswoman looked at Yan Zuo in surprise. Very few customers would be able to immediately find a suit that suited them the moment they entered the store. Zhuang Xian had the skills and capability to do so. With one look, she could tell what kind of suit would fit Yan Zuo¡¯s temperament.


    ¡°This set is suitable for you, Sir. Your friend has good taste.¡± The sales assistant praised her sincerely.


    Yan Zuo looked at Zhuang Xian, who smiled and nodded at him, making an ¡®okay¡¯ gesture. Yan Zuo smiled and said to the sales assistant beside him, ¡°The bill, along with that casual outfit.¡±


    It was the first time the sales assistant had met a customer who paid the bill so quickly, so she laughed even more heartily.


    By the time they left Judge¡¯s office, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and it was getting darker. It looked like it was going to rain again.


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at Yan Zuo. ¡°Let¡¯s find a place to eat and discuss how we should carry out our plan for tonight!¡±


    Yan Zuo uncomfortably loosened his tie and nodded in agreement. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll do as you say.¡±


    The calm autumn wind swept through the streets and alleys, rolling down many fallen leaves. Dark clouds loomed over the sky. Tonight was destined to be another day of unrest.


    It was seven O ¡®clock in the evening, and it was drizzling. However, outside the Beicheng villa in City H, it was crowded with traffic and people.


    Zhuang Xian was holding Yan Zuo¡¯s arm, wearing a beautiful, delicate mask.


    Although the Soul Devouring Bureau called this auction on the surface, in reality, it was just a black medicine transaction. Something that could not be shown on the table!


    Of course, Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo weren¡¯t the only two people in the venue who were wearing masks. Everyone who entered the seating area had to wear a mask.


    Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo walked in gracefully under everyone¡¯s gaze. They looked like a couple. The man had a slender and handsome figure, while the woman had a curvy figure. It was as if one could tell she was an exquisite woman just by looking at her back!


    When the other people in the venue looked at them, they all felt they were pleasing to the eye.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the inner seats on the left and said to Yan Zuo, ¡°Let¡¯s sit over there!¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know that because of what she had said, Mo Xi, standing beside her, had recognized her!


    Mo Xi turned to look at Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo. He was a little surprised, and his eyes widened slightly. He didn¡¯t expect the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter to be here and with a man, he didn¡¯t even know!


    Mo Xi followed Zhuang Xian and the man all the way. After they took their seats, he chose a seat behind them.


    When he saw that Zhuang Xian was so close to this man, he suddenly felt like an alarm was ringing in his heart for his young master.


    Oh my God! Did the young master¡¯s love rival appear? But the young master wasn¡¯t here now; what should he do? Should he invite the young master over?


    It was wrong! The most important thing now was to attend the auction and see if there was any news about Saint Valley Medicine or any medicine that could help the young master recover from his old injury!


    Thoughts flashed back and forth in Mo Xi¡¯s mind. In the end, he still decided to focus on business. He suppressed his restless heart and quietly waited for the auction to start.


    Zhuang Xian sat calmly beside Yan Zuo and looked at the people walking past the venue from time to time. She did see a few familiar figures.


    Zhuang Xian leaned slightly on Yan Zuo¡¯s shoulder and said softly, ¡°Senior brother! Look at the four o ¡®clock and seven o¡¯clock directions. They¡¯re all old acquaintances in our pharmaceutical industry!¡±


    Yan Zuo looked over and saw who it was. He said coldly, ¡°These people who always talk and shout are always following the lead of our Saint Valley Medicine! This act of pretending to comply but secretly going against it is eye-opening!¡±

 Chapter 160 - The Young Masters Rival in Love

    Chapter 160: Chapter 160. The Young Master¡¯s Rival in Love


    ¡°The Soul Devouring Bureau is so audacious. They dare to open a market to sell their goods under such a tight situation. I don¡¯t think they¡¯re going to back down. Senior brother, when you go back, remember to remind master to be more careful of these people.¡± Zhuang Xian squinted her eyes and said in a dangerous tone.


    Yan Zuo nodded. Of course, he knew what to do! One of the main reasons he and his Junior Sister were here today was to investigate who was behind the Soul Devouring Bureau. They wanted to know who was the one who dared to challenge the authority of Saint Valley Medicine so publicly!


    Those who dared to ignore or break the rules of the medicine-making world and Saint Valley Medicine deserved to die.


    Zhuang Xian did not know that Mo Xi behind her had seen the quiet conversation between her and her senior brother. Mo Xi was shocked and sad for her young master!


    Because from his perspective, he could see Zhuang Xian whispering into the man¡¯s ear. The two of them looked highly intimate!


    Mo Xi frowned and stared at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as if he was venting some anger on behalf of his young master. He had no idea how big a mistake he had made!


    Perhaps because Mo Xi¡¯s gaze was so intense, Zhuang Xian seemed to feel it and turned to look in his direction. Mo Xi was so scared that he immediately turned to look at the center of the venue, where the warm-up activities had already begun.


    The music was cold and eerie. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were so many living people breathing in the studio, Zhuang Xian would have thought that she was in hell. The Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s music appreciation was not very good!


    How was this an auction? This should be a meeting of the evil spirits in hell.


    ¡°Good evening, everyone! The auction will officially begin in one minute. Today, the Holy Bureau will bring you all the rarest and most precious holy medicine! They are all produced by the famous medicine masters of Saint Valley Medicine, and our holy Bureau will bring you the fairest and most affordable prices ¡­¡±


    ¡°Alright! Outsiders don¡¯t know what kind of bullsh*t sage trap you are, but don¡¯t you think our people don¡¯t know? Since you¡¯ve become a whore, don¡¯t dream of setting up a memorial arch! We all know what kind of people you are. Don¡¯t talk about Saint Valley Medicine. You are not worthy! Hurry up and get down to business; stop wasting time!¡±


    A middle-aged man wearing a black mask said rudely. He didn¡¯t take this auction seriously, and his eyes were full of disdain and disgust.


    Yan Zuo wanted to say something sarcastic, but the man beat him to it. He glanced at the man and laughed with interest. ¡°This fellow¡¯s temper is as bad as ever! Why did he rush here to attend the auction if he doesn¡¯t like the Soul Devouring Bureau?¡±


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows and pondered, then slowly guessed, ¡°Perhaps the Soul Devouring Bureau has something strong up their sleeves!¡±


    Zhuang Xian guessed correctly. The Soul Devouring people had made such a big move this time, so there must be some good stuff in it! Most of the people here today were here for it!


    ¡°Since the apothecary fellow has said so, let¡¯s not beat around the bush! I, at this moment, announce that the auction has officially begun!¡± The host¡¯s tiny eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, but they were more excited.


    Mo Xi was also very excited. He didn¡¯t expect his luck to be so good, and he got what he wanted!


    Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s items might be able to satisfy his expectations!


    The auction had begun. The first batch of medicines and medicinal ingredients were all relatively mediocre. They couldn¡¯t be said to be rare, but they were difficult to get in the market. They were doing this to make it easier for some pharmacists to find medicinal ingredients.


    Zhuang Xian was about to doze off when she heard half the story. She had thought it would be boring, but she did not expect it to be this boring. There was not a single medicine or medicinal herb to see.


    But in the next second, Zhuang Xian had to admit that she was a little surprised. After the surprise, she was speechless.


    ¡°Distinguished guests! Next up on stage is our biggest surprise today! Green-robed Buddha¡¯s hand pill! It was made by Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s old Valley master, Mr. Zhou Yan¡¯s beloved disciple, the genius pharmacist Lao Ai, the holy maiden in green, after much effort! There was only one in the world, and it was scarce and precious! The green-robed holy maiden once said that this Buddha¡¯s hand pill can cure all the chronic illnesses in the world!¡±


    Zhuang Xian: ¡°I¡¯m not! I didn¡¯t! You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±


    The host¡¯s emotional speech could only move the hearts of those who didn¡¯t know the industry, such as Mo Xi.

 Chapter 161 - Smashing The Venue

    Chapter 161: Chapter 161. Smashing The Venue


    Mo Xi¡¯s heart was beating wildly with excitement. The pair of eagle eyes behind the mask shone brightly at this moment. His brain, still considered clear, quickly locked on the keywords that could attract his attention in the host¡¯s long and cumbersome introduction.


    ¡®Saint Valley Medicine¡¯,¡¯ genius pharmacist¡¯, ¡®green-robed saintess¡¯,¡¯ green-robed Buddha¡¯s hand pill¡¯, ¡®cure all the chronic diseases! Weren¡¯t these the things that the Mo family had been searching for? It turned out that they could be found so easily after going around in circles!


    Mo Xi licked his dry lips, his eyes staring straight at the Buddha¡¯s hand pill in an exquisite box on the exhibition stage.


    Yan Zuo didn¡¯t even need to turn his head to know that his little junior sister must be in a very speechless state right now. He looked at the host on the stage, who was shouting the start of the auction, and directly interrupted, ¡°Hold on!¡±


    Yan Zuo¡¯s deep voice was full of pressure, and the venue fell silent for a moment.


    The emcee looked at Yan Zuo and squinted his eyes to size him up. His face showed some respect when he was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary aura. What does this gentleman want to do? ¡± Please don¡¯t interrupt our auction process, okay? Many distinguished guests have been looking forward to this sacred medicine!¡±


    Yan Zuo¡¯s eyes behind his mask turned cold as he said in a deep voice, ¡°You just said that medicine master Qing Yi made this pill? Do you have any proof? As far as I know, Holy maiden Qing Yi has been in closed-door cultivation for more than half a year, and Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s alchemy furnace has been out for over a few months. Where did you get this Buddha¡¯s hand pill?¡±


    As Yan Zuo spoke, he pondered for a moment. Then, as if he had understood something, he pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°Your Soul Devouring Bureau isn¡¯t trying to use the fame of the holy maiden Qing Yi to create hype, is it? Qing Yi didn¡¯t make this Buddha¡¯s hand pill, but you tried to pass it off as a real thing and used inferior quality to deceive everyone! Am I right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian saw the bodyguards around the venue were all looking at them, so she calmly echoed, ¡°Yup! If the Soul Devouring Bureau can¡¯t explain clearly, does that mean my brother is right? You¡¯re all lying!¡±


    ¡°I also think that the two of them are right!¡± The disgruntled fellow glanced sideways at Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo, then nodded and said in a deep voice, ¡°There are so many flashy auction items in front. Forget it! However, this item is related to the holy maiden of Saint Valley Medicine, so we can¡¯t leave it at that! You can¡¯t just say it¡¯s true. Do you have seals and handwritten letters?¡±


    Mo Xi looked at the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress with a strange expression and the man she called brother. His brain began to spin rapidly.


    Mo Xi¡¯s intuition told him that perhaps the purpose of Miss Zhuang¡¯s visit today was to cause trouble!


    The host was stunned by the question. He did not expect someone so bold as to make trouble at the Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s auction site.


    As the old saying goes, don¡¯t hit the face!


    However, their actions were clearly to throw the face of the Soul Devouring Bureau to the ground and smash it to pieces, then drag everyone to spit on them! She was so arrogant that she didn¡¯t respect the Soul Devouring Bureau at all.


    The emcee felt embarrassed, and his face turned red with anger. Just as he was about to scold her, someone behind him pressed on his shoulder. He turned his head and respectfully greeted, ¡°Boss!¡±


    The person was a tall, muscular man. He wore an evil ghost mask on his face, and the aura around him was extraordinary and cold.


    ¡°Do these two young friends have some misunderstanding with our Soul Devouring Bureau? Why are you intentionally disrupting the order of our venue?¡± The devil-masked man looked at them and asked in a deep voice.


    He then looked at the fellow, who had been bickering with the host, and said coldly, ¡± Mr. Hua Luo, you¡¯d better calm down. Don¡¯t enter the Northern City Manor today and be unable to leave!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked coldly at the man who had suddenly appeared. Her intuition told her that she had met her target today. He was the boss of the Soul Devouring Bureau!


    Zhuang Xian stood up and crossed her arms in front of her chest, laughing sarcastically.

 Chapter 162 - No Misunderstanding

    Chapter 162: Chapter 162. No Misunderstanding


    ¡°We were questioning and asking questions. How did you say that we were deliberately disturbing them? Because you couldn¡¯t answer my questions, you felt guilty and gave yourselves away. There¡¯s no misunderstanding!¡± Zhuang Xian looked at the devil-masked man coldly, her tone relaxed and indifferent.


    However, the meaning behind her words seemed to weigh a million pounds, and the host behind the ghoul-masked man panicked.


    Yan Zuo also stood up and looked at them coldly.


    He stood beside Zhuang Xian and said sternly, ¡°These people are just a bunch of scum who are used to cheating! Sister, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with them!¡±


    As Yan Zuo spoke, he stepped forward and looked straight at the devil-masked man.


    ¡°If you want to use Qing Yi¡¯s name to swindle people, shouldn¡¯t you ask Saint Valley Medicine first?¡± he said sternly.


    Hearing this, the devil-masked man asked in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re from Saint Valley Medicine? Who are you? How did you get in?¡±


    As he spoke, he quickly raised his hand to signal the bodyguards around him to come closer. He then shouted, ¡°You guys came very quickly! But so what? I¡¯ve arranged so many bodyguards in the Northern City Manor today. Don¡¯t even think about getting close to me!¡±


    The devil-masked man¡¯s sudden loud laughter seemed to be a bluff in Mo Xi¡¯s eyes. When he mentioned the words ¡°Saint Valley Medicine,¡± his guilty conscience seemed unable to hide.


    And the devil-masked man himself seemed to have expected this!


    It was obvious that in the pharmaceutical industry of Z Country, the rules were decided by Saint Valley Medicine! With Saint Valley¡¯s usual style of doing things, how could they allow an unruly and unpresentable man to get away with it?


    So, just as he had wished, Saint Valley Medicine had sent people here to investigate and capture him!


    In the vast venue, the atmosphere that had been quiet and silent just a moment ago suddenly became tense and dangerous.


    The people in the seating area opposite the platform also started to stir.


    The two troublemakers, Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo, did not panic in the face of so many bodyguards. They were even more relaxed and calm than the people from the Soul Devouring Bureau!


    Zhuang Xian glanced at the devil-masked man, then turned around and exchanged a look with her senior brother.


    They had not intended to fight with the people of the Soul Devouring Bureau today, but now that the tension had been set in place, it was not good to let him escape in one piece. If they let him go today, it would not be easy to catch him again!


    Therefore, they had to take him down tonight!


    Mo Xi sat in the back, his expression changing as he watched Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo move. He had a plan in his heart.


    If what the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter and that man said was true, then the Buddha¡¯s hand pill in the hands of the Soul Devouring Bureau was most likely just a cover!


    The Soul Devouring Bureau was likely to be the enemy of Saint Valley Medicine, and Saint Valley Medicine wanted to punish the Soul Devouring Bureau and the mastermind.


    Thinking about it this way, the Soul Devouring Bureau and the Buddha¡¯s hand pill were no longer the most important things. The most important thing now was the relationship between Zhuang Xian and that man and the Saint Valley Medicine!


    ¡°Hmph! You¡¯re a coward; how dare you run this black medicine business behind the Saint Valley¡¯s back? It seems that we have overestimated you.¡± Yan Zuo said sarcastically.


    He raised his hand and took off the suit jacket on his body. These were the clothes that junior sister had personally chosen for him. When they fight later, he had better not dirty it!


    As Yan Zuo spoke, he pointed his left index finger at the devil-masked man. You can¡¯t leave today! If you obediently surrender, you might be able to suffer less!¡±


    When the devil-masked man heard this, he deliberately shouted, ¡°Stop talking big! Do you think Saint Valley alchemists can take on a hundred people at once? This is my territory!¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and kicked off her black high heels. She said in a leisurely tone, ¡°Oh? Then let¡¯s give it a try.¡±


    The man looked at the two, calmly preparing for battle, and took a deep breath. He raised his hand and gestured to the people beside him. ¡°Go! Stop them!¡±

 Chapter 163 - Doesnt Affect The Fight

    Chapter 163: Chapter 163. Doesn¡¯t Affect The Fight


    The black-shirted bodyguards surrounding the devil-masked man were like a flock of black crows, roaring at Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo.


    The hems of Zhuang Xian¡¯s gown today were large and made of high-quality fabric. As the tail of the dress swayed, it was like a blooming red flower that blocked all her steps!


    Her slender fingers gently lifted the hems of her dress on both sides, and she pressed against the crowd rushing towards her. The bodyguard at the front did not even have the time to see Zhuang Xian¡¯s movements before he was already sent flying to the ground three meters away.


    The strength of this kick scared many people, including the pharmacist called Hua Luo and the devil-masked man.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s steps were light and agile, and she was powerful. After another powerful kick, she knocked out the two big men in front of her and turned around. She directly knocked down five or six bodyguards with a beautiful and gorgeous chain kick!


    This fighting strength was already beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, not to mention that she was wearing an exquisite dress that was not easy to display today. She did not wear shoes, but the strength of her kick did not reduce one bit!


    As Zhuang Xian fought, she did not forget to turn around and instruct Yan Zuo. ¡°Senior! It¡¯s more important to catch him; there¡¯s no need to fight! I¡¯ll cover you!¡±


    Yan Zuo had also knocked out four to five people in a row. He nodded and said, ¡°I understand!¡± As he spoke, he quickly stepped onto the stage, rolled sideways to avoid the bodyguards¡¯ pounce, and went directly toward the devil-masked man.


    Zhuang Xian was also approaching the devil-masked man in the middle. However, when she heard Mo Xi¡¯s voice, she was stunned!


    ¡°Fourth, Miss! Take the baton!¡± Then, before Zhuang Xian could react, Mo Xi threw the metal rod in his hand over. He knew that Zhuang Xian would be able to catch it.


    Zhuang Xian raised her hand and took it reflexively. She subconsciously asked, ¡°What are you doing here? Is he here?¡±


    Mo Xi lowered his body and dodged a bodyguard¡¯s stick. He hit his elbow horizontally and grabbed another iron bar from his hand.


    After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s question, Mo Xi was silent for a moment before he said, ¡°To find medicine for the young master, or rather, to track down the Saint Valley Medicine!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s battle with the bodyguards did not stop. She knew that now was not the time to talk. After she knocked down many people with the metal rod in her hand, she said in a calm voice, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it later. Protect yourself!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked up at Yan Zuo and the devil-masked man a few steps away. Her senior brother was already fighting with the masked man. She had to go up and help him.


    When the masked man saw Zhuang Xian approaching him with her skirt swaying, he had already broken down. He shouted angrily, ¡°What kind of monster are you? Since when did Saint Valley Medicine have such a powerful fighter?¡±


    Yan Zuo raised his hand and tried to capture the masked man, but the bodyguards around him were tough to deal with. Yan Zuo retracted his power and dodged an iron bar, then turned around and kicked the man away.


    He looked at the devil-masked man coldly and said, ¡°If you knew this would happen, why did you do it? I advise you to surrender and return to Saint Valley Medicine with me to ask for punishment. Otherwise, I¡¯ll beat you up until your mother can¡¯t recognize you!¡±


    The devil-masked man was hiding behind the bodyguards. When he heard Yan Zuo¡¯s words, he took a few deep breaths guiltily. He decided he would not let the Saint Valley Medicine people catch him today. If he were born, he would not be able to return.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the few bodyguards trying to resist her and laughed in disdain. How much is your boss paying you? Is it worth risking your life for? You¡¯re already like this and still thinking of putting up a last-ditch struggle?¡±


    One of the bodyguards¡¯ eyes was bloodshot. He yelled at Zhuang Xian, ¡°Little bitch! If you have the ability, then kill ¡­¡±


    After a heavy, muffled sound, the bodyguard fell into a pool of blood. Zhuang Xian turned back to look at the source of the gunshot and was stunned!


    If she was shocked when she first saw Mo Xi, then when she saw Mo Qian sitting at the entrance with a gun in his hand, Zhuang Xian was shocked and confused. She even felt a little guilty.


    Mo Qian lowered his wrist and lowered the cold muzzle of the gun. After looking at the bodyguards around him, he said coldly, ¡°Who else wants to die? Just tell me directly.¡±

 Chapter 164 - Broken Avatar

    Chapter 164: Chapter 164. Broken Avatar


    Mo Qian¡¯s body exuded a monstrous cold intently, making him look like hell¡¯s most powerful god of death. The cold and ruthless messenger of death.


    The other people in the venue had already fled in a frenzy when Zhuang Xian and the others started to make their move.


    Now, in this huge venue, there were only Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo, the devil-masked man¡¯s subordinates and bodyguards, and Mo Xi, standing behind Zhuang Xian and was shocked to see his young master.


    ¡°Young master? What are you doing here? ¡­¡± Mo Xi strode forward and said incoherently.


    More than a dozen armed bodyguards quickly emerged from behind Mo Qian. The moment they rushed over, they took control of all the devil-masked man¡¯s subordinates and bodyguards. The few bodyguards of the devil-masked man still standing threw away their weapons and surrendered on the spot when they saw the fully armed opponents.


    The devil-faced man seemed to be shocked by this scene. In disbelief, he said to Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo, ¡°The Saint Valley¡¯s methods are truly impressive! You mobilized so many people to catch me!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Mo Qian, who was slowly approaching in a wheelchair, and said coldly, ¡°Who are you? How dare you kill someone with a gun? Do you know that I have my men in the police station of City H? If you want to die, then help the Saint Valley Medicine people catch me!¡±


    ¡°Saint Valley Medicine?¡± Mo Qian¡¯s expression was cold as he grasped the most important word in the devil-masked man¡¯s words.


    Seeing the situation, Mo Xi bowed and hurriedly explained, ¡°Young master! I¡¯ve already found out a few things about Saint Valley Medicine. The fourth lady has a close relationship with Saint Valley Medicine!¡±


    Mo Xi¡¯s young master had also realized that the masked woman in red in the middle of the venue was the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter. Otherwise, he would not have shot the bodyguard when he was rude to Zhuang Xian!


    Therefore, Mo Xi directly exposed Zhuang Xian. Although he had not had the time to confirm her identity, his intuition had already told him the answer!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was alarmed. After exchanging a look with Yan Zuo in the distance, she helplessly let go of the iron bar in her hand.


    She turned back to look at Mo Qian, and after a long silence, she asked, ¡°Why are you here? Did you put a tracking device on me?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s deep eyes flashed with many complicated and indecipherable emotions. He sized up Zhuang Xian a few times, and his eyes, which no one could read, finally landed on Zhuang Xian¡¯s bare ankles.


    He moved his wheelchair closer to Zhuang Xian. Facing Zhuang Xian¡¯s inquiring eyes, he chuckled and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t your feet cold? You don¡¯t even wear your shoes for a fight?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback. She was a little speechless at Mo Qian¡¯s strange focus.


    She felt that Mo Qian should have a lot of questions for her! She was also very curious as to why he was there. And why was he so interested in Saint Valley Medicine? It wasn¡¯t enough to send Mo Xi to spy on the situation, and he followed her. Was he determined to win this auction?


    Zhuang Xian was overthinking things. Mo Qian had no idea about the Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s auction. Mo Xi had acted on his own without telling him!


    Mo Qian was here because Mo Xi was acting very strangely this afternoon. He even went around where Lan Ling was locked up and interrogated her again.


    Didn¡¯t this prove that Mo Xi was hiding something from him? Moreover, it was related to the Soul Devouring Bureau and the pharmaceutical industry. He only needed to sort out his thoughts a little, and he could guess Mo Xi¡¯s thoughts!


    In the end, he saw Zhuang Xian here! This was something he had not expected.


    He had been sitting in a luxury car outside the venue, watching the surveillance video his subordinate had handed him. Zhuang Xian had rushed into the group of bodyguards in her red dress. It didn¡¯t look like she was fighting, but more like she was dancing a beautiful dance! That was his girl, who could always bring him all kinds of surprises!


    Therefore, Mo Qian would never allow anyone to hurt or insult her! The bodyguard lying in a pool of blood was the best reference.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian and remained silent for a long time. Then, she frowned and stared at him, asking again, ¡°You still haven¡¯t answered my question.¡±


    She didn¡¯t know why, but the feeling of panic in her heart, where her avatar was shattered to pieces, had disappeared.

 Chapter 165 - Jealous?

    Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Jealous?


    Zhuang Xian had an inexplicable intuition in her heart. She felt that even if Mo Qian knew all her secrets now, he would not do anything to hurt or harm her.


    Mo Qian seemed to be trustworthy, right? Zhuang Xian asked herself.


    This feeling was extraordinary. If he were to describe it more specifically, it was a kind of inexplicable feeling of not caring about anything, like having too many lice and not biting.


    If Zhuang Xian could put herself in Mo Qian¡¯s shoes, her thoughts and emotions would become very clear! This kind of behavior shouldn¡¯t be called ¡°breaking a broken jar and throwing it away,¡± but instead being fearless or arrogant because of being pampered.


    The extent of Mo Qian¡¯s affection for Zhuang Xian had far exceeded her expectations.


    Even if Zhuang Xian had suddenly turned into an unpardonable murderer, Mo Qian would probably continue to like her. However, he would lock her up, lock her up in a domain that only belonged to him. Only he would be able to see her and feel her!


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were filled with a strange possessiveness as he looked at Zhuang Xian. However, he hid it so well that the slow-witted Zhuang Xian did not notice it.


    Zhuang Xian had too many secrets. She was too outstanding, and this exceeded Mo Qian¡¯s expectations of her! This loss of control made Mo Qian suddenly feel a sense of powerlessness and loss as if he would never restrain Zhuang Xian!


    That was why he looked at Zhuang Xian with such a strange and complicated expression.


    ¡°Do you want me to answer your question? That¡¯s good! We¡¯ll exchange.¡± Mo Qian suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and chuckled as he spoke to Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian no longer felt the embarrassment of having her identity exposed. Instead, she felt more at ease. She thought about it and replied softly, ¡°Sure.¡±


    Mo Xi watched the conversation between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian and heaved a sigh of relief as if a huge rock had been put down!


    He thought the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter must have a close relationship with Saint Valley Medicine. With her relationship with the young master, it should not be difficult to ask her to introduce the young master to Saint Valley Medicine and find the famous green-robed apothecary.


    Although the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress seemed cold, she should still be very kind deep down, Mo Xi thought.


    Even though Yan Zuo was unsure of the situation, he could guess from the conversation between Zhuang Xian and this man that they were friends and not enemies!


    He heaved a sigh of relief and looked at his allies, which were subduing them with their guns. He felt that it was good to have real people around. It was better than them fighting hard for a long time.


    Mo Xi took the initiative to clean up the follow-up work of the venue. He looked at the young master¡¯s silent face and felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.


    Yan Zuo threw the masked man into the car. The Mo family didn¡¯t say anything, probably because of Zhuang Xian!


    He still felt that the man in the wheelchair treated his little sister very differently.


    ¡® The night view of the Northern city Manor is pretty good. It would be even better if the temperature at night weren¡¯t so low,¡¯ Zhuang Xian thought as she sat on the bench in the courtyard.


    The next second, a coat with a man¡¯s fragrance and body heat was placed on her shoulder. Zhuang Xian subconsciously looked down and saw Mo Qian¡¯s wheelchair behind her.


    She held the coat with her hand and said thank you softly.


    ¡°I came here to find clues about Saint Valley Medicine. My family has been looking for them for a long time, and only they have a way to cure my leg!¡± Mo Qian was indeed a man of his word. He took the initiative to explain to Zhuang Xian when he said they would exchange information.


    When he saw Yan Zuo¡¯s gaze in the distance, Mo Qian suddenly felt a trace of wariness in his heart. He pretended to ask casually, ¡°Who was the man you were fighting with just now? Can you tell me? And why are you here?¡±


    Zhuang Xian frowned and looked up at him. ¡°What do the last few questions have to do with the first few? Also, who told you Saint Valley Medicine can cure your injuries?¡±

 Chapter 166 - Lets Help Him

    Chapter 166: Chapter 166. Let¡¯s Help Him


    Mo Qian retracted his gaze and slowly explained to Zhuang Xian, ¡°I¡¯m just a little curious. I¡¯ve never seen such a person by your side before.¡±


    The night breeze brushed across Zhuang Xian¡¯s hair, curling it into a beautiful arc. How Zhuang Xian lifted her head slightly made Mo Qian¡¯s heart flutter.


    However, Zhuang Xian looked at him indifferently and did not say a word. She felt that she did not need to explain so much to Mo Qian. She had already revealed enough of her identity in front of Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian was the only colossal bug that couldn¡¯t be solved in her meticulous and detailed plan. It was harmless, but it was a loophole that couldn¡¯t be ignored in the solid wall of the program.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was only looking at him in a daze, Mo Qian smiled and continued, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What are you thinking about? If you don¡¯t want to say it, you don¡¯t have to. I won¡¯t force you.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s understanding and gentleness seemed to only appear with Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°It¡¯s my grandmother!¡± Mo Qian turned his head and looked at the moon in the sky as he said warmly.


    Zhuang Xian was stunned, but she quickly realized Mo Qian was answering her question.


    ¡°She found a mighty master to read my fortune. The Saint Valley¡¯s green-robed apothecary can only cure the old injury on my leg! So, I¡¯ve been looking for Saint Valley Medicine for a long time. Today, Mo Xi came here, so I wouldn¡¯t give up on any clues. Fortunately, I finally found a clue!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s voice was very low as if he was telling a good story. However, Zhuang Xian could see the dull and disappointing light in his eyes.


    He seemed to have experienced countless joys and disappointments, which was why he had such a complicated and indifferent expression.


    Saint Valley Medicine had always been a mysterious place. If one did not find the right way, getting close to them would be very difficult. Many people in the world wanted their help and gifts. Most of them were people who had suffered in pain. Zhuang Xian did not expect Mo Qian to be one of them.


    However, it made sense. Although Mo Qian was rich and powerful, he was tormented by the old injury on his leg.


    ¡°I heard from Mo Xi that you have a close relationship with Saint Valley Medicine. I wonder if you can introduce me to them?¡± Mo Qian turned to look at Zhuang Xian and asked softly.


    Mo Qian¡¯s words interrupted Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts. She returned to her senses and pretended to ask, ¡°Mo Xi just said it casually, and you believed him? If I told you I have nothing to do with the Saint Valley, would you believe him or me?¡±


    A smile flashed across Mo Qian¡¯s eyes as he chuckled, ¡°Things have already developed to this stage, and you still want to hide it from me? Why are you here if you have nothing to do with the Saint Valley? And why are you standing up for Saint Valley Medicine?¡±


    Mo Qian implied that this auction was extraordinary and well-hidden. If there was no need to look for someone to buy medicine, it could only be someone from the pharmaceutical industry!


    Zhuang Xian and that man had said that to protect the Saint Valley Medicine. How could they not have any relationship with Saint Valley? Who would believe that?


    I know you¡¯re eager to be cured, but the blue-robed apothecary from the medicine Saint Valley is only a pharmacist. How can you be so sure pthat he can heal you? ¡± Zhuang Xian was a little choked by Mo Qian¡¯s question. She paused for a moment before she continued.


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian also felt she was trying to escape it. After seeing the mocking look in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Xian suddenly felt a little discouraged.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say that the other party would be able to cure me, but as long as there¡¯s a slight possibility for me to stand up again, I will not give up. Mo Qian¡¯s eyes flashed with a gentle yet determined light as he looked at Zhuang Xian and said with certainty.


    Zhuang Xian stood up and sighed, ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll be honest with you: I have some connections with Saint Valley, and I can introduce you to them. Why don¡¯t we do it this way? You can compile the condition and symptoms of your leg into a detailed medical record, and I¡¯ll pass it to Qing Yi. Will this work?¡±


    It wasn¡¯t impossible to treat Mo Qian¡¯s leg. Zhuang Xian had been very interested in Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury. The Mo family had spent all their money, but they still couldn¡¯t find a cure for Mo Qian¡¯s leg. Wasn¡¯t this a challenge?

 Chapter 167 - Heart

    Chapter 167: Chapter 167. Heart-to-heart talk time


    Saint Valley Medicine had many influential doctors, and Qing Yi was one of the best. She was very interested in this strange and challenging disease.


    But even so, Zhuang Xian did not choose to reveal her identity directly. Instead, she secretly held back a trick.


    Mo Qian¡¯s Phoenix eyes were filled with a deep dark light as he stared at Zhuang Xian for a long time.


    Just as Zhuang Xian suspected that she had missed out on something, causing Mo Qian to continue to question her, Mo Qian nodded slightly and replied softly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you the medical record tomorrow! In addition, if apothecary Qing needs me to do anything, you can also tell me directly.¡±


    Zhuang Xian heaved a sigh of relief and gave Mo Qian an ¡± OK ¡± gesture before leaving.


    She paused for a moment, turned around, and was about to remind Mo Qian to keep today¡¯s events a secret, but before she could speak, Mo Qian interrupted her.


    ¡°Secret? I know, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t tell anyone that I met you here today. I¡¯ve also covered up all the surveillance cameras in this villa about you and that gentleman.¡± Mo Qian seemed able to read Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind as he replied with a smile.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s movements froze. A few seconds later, she cleared her throat and said unnaturally, ¡°Yes, I am. You ¡­ You¡¯ve done well. Thank you for what you did just now!¡±


    Mo Qian smiled faintly and nodded at her.


    Yan Zuo leaned against their car and looked at Zhuang Xian, who was walking towards him, with a teasing look. He asked softly, ¡°Who is this young master? He¡¯s helped us so much the moment he arrived, and you don¡¯t even let me thank him. What kind of logic is this?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her senior brother, who had a strange expression, and asked, ¡°Senior brother, you still want to go up and thank him? Do we still need to hide our identities? I¡¯m doing this so that we won¡¯t reveal any flaws!¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s matter has been completed too smoothly, and I feel a little uneasy.¡± Zhuang Xian looked at the tightly shut door of the car¡¯s back seat and said with a frown, ¡°Senior, when you go back, you must interrogate this person properly. Don¡¯t miss out on anything.¡±


    Yan Zuo also looked in the direction of the devil-masked man. After a moment of silence, he turned to Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°I¡¯ve already used truth-telling powder on him just now. He has also admitted that he is the boss of the Soul Devouring Bureau. There¡¯s no mistake.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback. She slowly regained her senses and looked at Yan Zuo in surprise. ¡°Senior, are you that fast? You are even using truth-spitting powder!¡±


    Yan Zuo nodded silently. After looking at Zhuang Xian, he said, ¡°Since your senior brother has already come over, you can directly hand this matter to me. Little junior sister, you don¡¯t have to worry so much! But then again, when will you be able to change your suspicious and cautious personality? Isn¡¯t it tiring to live so tensely all the time?¡±


    Yan Zuo had always been worried about Zhuang Xian¡¯s psychological state. Her kindness to this world seemed to be limited. She had always carried on with doing things alone for her benefit. She seemed to believe in nothing, and no one could get close to her. He and his master had spent a long time before they got closer to her!


    When he met his junior sister again, he found she had become much more cheerful. To be more specific, she was more popular.


    Qing Yi¡¯s attitude towards that person just now seemed a little special. At least she would never been so close to others in the past, and it was even more impossible for her to wear clothes that others had worn.


    When Zhuang Xian heard her Senior¡¯s question, she knew he was concerned about her, so she smiled and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m used to it. Let¡¯s go back first! My mom is probably waiting anxiously.¡±


    When Yan Zuo heard this, he sighed lightly. ¡°Do you need me to go back with you to explain? After all, it¡¯s getting late.¡±


    As Yan Zuo spoke, he raised his hand to look at the time. It was almost midnight.


    Zhuang Xian shook her head and opened the door of the driver¡¯s seat. She explained to her Senior, ¡°My family doesn¡¯t know my identity for the time being. It¡¯s not good for you to go! If there¡¯s a chance next time, I¡¯ll invite you to our house!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Didn¡¯t you tell them the truth? Then you have been hiding it from them all this time?¡± Yan Zuo also opened the car door and sat beside Zhuang Xian. He asked curiously.

 Chapter 168 - Honesty

    Chapter 168: Chapter 168. Honesty


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes darkened, and she asked in a deep voice, ¡°Senior brother, do you think they can accept me, who is full of secrets? I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll be disgusted with me and think I¡¯m a liar.¡±


    Ever since Zhuang Xian had come to City H, she had no friends by her side whom she could confide in and whom she didn¡¯t have to be on guard against. With Yan Zuo around today, she had a decent confidant.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had started the car, Yan Zuo turned around to look at her. Her expression was a little calm, and Yan Zuo knew his junior was unhappy.


    He was silent for a while, then leaned back in his seat and relaxed, ¡°You care too much about them; that¡¯s why you¡¯re so worried about your gains and losses. You have never been honest with them, so how do you know if they can accept it? My suggestion is that you should have more confidence in yourself and them. Love is the bravest thing in the world. They¡¯re the family that you¡¯ve insisted on choosing. You should believe in them, and you should also believe in yourself.¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened attentively to Yan Zuo¡¯s words and suddenly felt relieved. She looked straight ahead and smiled. ¡°I understand. Thank you, senior.¡±


    On this side, Zhuang Xian and Yan Zuo were chatting. On the other side, in the front yard of the Zhuang family, Lin En was sitting on a bench under the streetlamp, waiting for her with a heavy heart.


    When Zhuang Xian saw Lin En under the streetlight, she was not surprised. She knew that her mother would have a good chat with her tonight.


    ¡°It¡¯s so cold outside at night. Mom, why didn¡¯t you wait at home? What if the wind blows?¡± Zhuang Xian walked over to Lin En and asked with concern.


    Lin En raised her head to look at her with a gentle smile. The warm yellow light shone on her face, making it look like it was coated with a layer of holy Halo. Lin En patted the seat beside her and gestured for Zhuang Xian to sit down.


    I wanted to call you during dinner just now, but on second thought, I felt that I shouldn¡¯t disturb your gathering with your friends. Seeing Zhuang Xian sit beside her, Lin En held her hand and chuckled as she continued.


    ¡°In the past, your three brothers also made me angry! Especially your third brother; he¡¯s been willful since he was young. Once he¡¯s determined to do something, even nine horses can¡¯t pull him back! You¡¯re mom¡¯s only daughter, and you grew up in an orphanage. It¡¯s normal for you to have some secrets you can¡¯t tell others. I don¡¯t mean to force you to be honest with us! I¡¯m just worried that I don¡¯t know you well enough and will do something that will make you sad. Do you understand?¡±


    Lin En¡¯s eyes glistened with tears. She did not know if it was because of the cold night wind, but she felt like crying.


    How could Zhuang Xian not understand Lin En¡¯s worries? she held Lin En¡¯s fingers tightly and smiled, ¡°I understand, Mom. I know you love me. I ¡­¡±


    She seemed to have made a lot of determination and courage. She looked at Lin En, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of dependence and belief. She trusted her family. ¡°I know how to massage and treat people because I had a powerful master two years ago. I learned a lot from him! If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll arrange for you two to meet.


    I¡¯m racing because I like this extreme sport. Sometimes, I will use it to vent my emotions. I have a small car team in City H, and they participate in some international races from time to time! I¡¯ll still ¡­¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s statement was incoherent, and Lin En felt a little distressed. She interrupted Zhuang Xian¡¯s continued statement and said with a bit of blame, ¡°Are these the things you¡¯ve been hiding from us?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback, and she looked at Lin En with a dazed expression.


    Lin En found her expression extremely adorable. She reached out and pinched her little face, smiling. ¡°What¡¯s there to hide? Are you afraid that Mom or the other family members will be jealous of you?¡±


    Lin En said in a reproachful manner. Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s cute, dazed expression, she sighed.

 Chapter 169 - . Love is Courage

    Chapter 169: Chapter 160. Love is Courage


    ¡°Mom knows you¡¯re a good child,¡± Lin En said earnestly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to hide anything in front of us. Since I chose you to be my daughter in the orphanage, it¡¯s something that will never change in my life! I love you because I love you as a person. I love your personality and character, which won¡¯t change because of external things! Do you understand? Silly child.¡±


    ¡°I understand, Mom! but ¡­¡± tears welled up in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes as she looked at Lin En anxiously, wanting to explain more. ¡°If I¡¯m hiding anything from you in the future, it¡¯s not something that will hurt the two of you. Will you still be able to forgive me like this, mom?¡±


    Lin En frowned slightly when she heard this. She looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes and could see their vicissitudes and pain. Such an expression did not belong to a little girl of her age.


    ¡°I know that my precious daughter will never hurt us! But that¡¯s not the most important thing. What we want more are your safety and happiness! From what you¡¯re saying, you¡¯re excluding yourself?¡± Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian worriedly and asked anxiously.


    After Zhuang Xian heard Lin En¡¯s words, she could not help but hug her tightly. She used a little strength as if she had received the whole world¡¯s support, and her voice was slightly tearful. ¡°Thank you, Mom! With your words, I will be much happier and relieved! Thank you, I love you.¡±


    Lin En was shocked by Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions and only reacted after a few seconds. She held Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and said gently, ¡°Silly girl! No matter what you do, we will always support you! We believe you, so don¡¯t be sad. You won¡¯t look good if you cry!¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt that her senior¡¯s words were not entirely correct!


    What love can give people is the most precious courage in the world. Even if you have gone through the most miserable life, it can still heal you and make you feel that there is still true love and warmth in this world.


    Zhuang Huai squatted behind his brother and father, listening attentively to the conversation between his mother and sister. He was touched and wiped the corners of his eyes.


    He felt that his tears were getting faster and faster. Was this the price to pay for being a good actor?


    Zhuang Hang heard Zhuang Huai¡¯s sobbing and looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. He whispered in surprise, ¡°You don¡¯t have to! Mom and sister aren¡¯t crying, so why are you crying?¡±


    Zhuang Huai glared at Zhuang Hang and retorted in a low voice, ¡°What about me? Can¡¯t I be a little touched? Little sister is so well-behaved and cute, my poor little sister!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s legs were numb from squatting. When he turned to look at his two sons, he changed his position without a word. He would never admit that it was because he was old. ¡°Shut up, you two. If you can¡¯t even eavesdrop, what¡¯s the use of having you? ¡±


    The butler and Auntie Jiang looked at the Zhuang family strangely, who were also squatting at the entrance. ¡°What are they doing? ¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe Madam is in a bad mood again, so the old master is trying to make her happy! The butler replied.


    Auntie Jiang thought about the fourth Miss, who had not been home since this afternoon and had a guess in her heart. ¡°Perhaps he¡¯s not trying to coax Madam but waiting for fourth Miss!¡±


    She had long understood how much old Master and Madam treasured this adopted daughter. Fourth Miss was also very considerate and very good.


    Before Auntie Jiang and the butler could finish their conversation, the old master and the young master in the distance were discovered.


    Lin En looked at her husband and sons sprawled on the ground and asked, ¡°What are you all sitting on the ground for? Are you hugging for warmth?¡±


    Zhuang Xian, standing beside Lin En, also saw the funny scene. Zhuang Huai fell on her second brother¡¯s body with a pained expression while Zhuang Hang¡¯s hand held onto her father¡¯s wrist. They were like a stack of cards that fell into a ball.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s tears turned into a smile, and she said helplessly, ¡°You guys should get up quickly! Auntie Jiang and the butler are still watching!¡±

 Chapter 170 - Mothers Brand Supper

    Chapter 170: Chapter 170. Mother¡¯s Brand Supper


    Zhuang Ming pushed his second son away and stood up. His face was unnaturally red.


    He awkwardly cleared his throat and said, ¡°I saw that the moon was pretty tonight, so I thought of coming out to bask in the moonlight! Hmm, not bad, not bad.¡±


    He avoided his wife¡¯s burning gaze and turned to leave.


    Lin En did not know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at her cheeky husband. She turned around and exchanged a look with Zhuang Xian, tacitly choosing not to expose Zhuang Ming¡¯s awkwardness.


    Zhuang Hang listened to his father¡¯s words and added calmly, ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m here to admire the moon with my father.¡±


    Zhuang Xian saw her second brother¡¯s unnatural expression and smiled without saying anything. She even turned to look at Zhuang Huai and asked with her eyes, ¡®What about you, the third brother? What are you doing here?¡¯


    Zhuang Huai massaged his slightly numb leg and smiled awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m also out for a walk! Dad, second brother, and I are not squatting here to eavesdrop on your conversation with Mom. Do you understand?¡±


    Zhuang Xian and Lin En burst out laughing simultaneously, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, as they looked at Zhuang Huai, who had given himself away.


    How could they not know? These men were squatting there and listening to their heart-to-heart talk because they were worried and concerned about the two of them, especially Zhuang Xian, who had been on thin ice all this time.


    Seeing that his mother and sister were happy, Zhuang Huai felt a sense of relief. He did not feign ignorance in vain, revealing that the plan of eavesdropping his father had discreetly led to the two female leads.


    Zhuang Xian held Lin En¡¯s hand and walked through the door. She said to Lin En in a sweet voice, ¡°Mom, can I request to eat a bowl of your noodles? I didn¡¯t eat well when I was outside just now.¡±


    Lin En pinched her little face and smiled lovingly. ¡°You! You had to act coquettishly! I got it. Mom will make it for you and put two more eggs in it. ¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she immediately leaned her head on Lin En¡¯s shoulder and smiled obediently, ¡°Thank you, Mom! Do you mean like this?¡±


    Zhuang Xian so amused Lin En that she could not help laughing, and the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes could no longer be hidden.


    Zhuang Huai looked at his sweet mother and sister and said sourly, ¡°Mother, your precious son would like to apply for a night of love noodles. May I?¡±


    Lin En turned to look at him. The smile on her face had already disappeared. She retorted, ¡°You¡¯re a big star? It¡¯s already so late, and you¡¯re still thinking of having supper! Didn¡¯t you always say that you wanted to do body management and lose weight?¡±


    ¡°Mom, look at what you¡¯re saying. If I don¡¯t eat my fill, how can I have the strength to lose weight and work out?¡± Zhuang Huai said with a cheeky smile.


    Lin En was speechless. She rolled her eyes at him and went into the kitchen, calling for aunt Jiang to help.


    Ten minutes later, Zhuang Xian and the stubborn Zhuang Huai sat at the dining table and started eating the fragrant, steaming hot mother¡¯s brand love noodles.


    In the quiet of the night, Lin En would never have guessed how much warmth and security Zhuang Xian felt from her bowl of hot noodles.


    It was already past midnight by the time she finished her supper. Zhuang Xian touched her warm stomach with her left hand and unlocked her phone with her right. She saw that senior Yan Zuo had sent her many messages and immediately called him back.


    With his senior brother¡¯s temperament, he would first deal with the devil-masked man before going to bed tonight. So at this time, his senior brother must not be asleep yet.


    Sure enough, the call went through very quickly. Yan Zuo¡¯s warm voice came through. ¡°How is it? Have you talked to them?¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded, relaxed and happy, ¡°We¡¯ve chatted! I just ate some noodles and went back to my room. Senior brother, aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡±


    ¡°From your happy tone, you must have had a good chat. I¡¯m relieved!¡± Yan Zuo¡¯s chuckling voice was charming to the ears. The kind of voice made people feel that he was very calm and reliable.


    As she thought of this, Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t help but think of Mo Qian¡¯s perpetually gentle and calm appearance. She had promised Mo Qian that she would make him some desserts, but she had yet to do so! Zhuang Xian decided to find a time tomorrow to settle this matter so that Mo Qian would not keep urging her.


    ¡°Junior Sister? Little Junior Sister? Green clothes! Are you asleep?¡± Yan Zuo asked softly when Zhuang Xian did not reply for a long time.


    Yan Zuo¡¯s call woke up Zhuang Xian. After she regained her senses, she hurriedly replied, ¡°I¡¯m here, senior brother. What¡¯s wrong? I didn¡¯t hear what you said just now!¡±

 Chapter 171 - 171 Chapter 171. The Right to Speak

    171 Chapter 171. The Right to Speak


    ¡°You didn¡¯t say anything for a long time. I thought you were asleep.¡± Yan Zuo said softly when he heard his Junior Sister speak again.


    ¡°I just said that you dropped the suit you were wearing from the Northern City Manor in the car. You want to return it to him. Then I¡¯ll keep it for you! If you¡¯re free tomorrow, come over and get it. ¡°Yan Zuo repeated what he had just said, a hint of interest in his eyes.


    Compared to Mo Qian, Yan Zuo was more observant. When Mo Qian treated Yan Zuo as his love rival, Yan Zuo had already noticed that his Junior Sister treated him differently. He had wanted to give his Junior Sister his blessings.


    He was happy that his Junior Sister had more ties and feelings.


    With her senior¡¯s reminder, Zhuang Xian finally realized why she felt she had forgotten something when she got out of the car.


    Zhuang Xian coughed lightly. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m going to return it to him. Senior brother, help me keep it first. I¡¯ll come and get it from you when I have time. Alright, it¡¯s getting late now. Rest early, senior brother.¡±


    Yan Zuo responded softly and waited for Zhuang Xian to hang up.


    The curtains in Zhuang Xian¡¯s room were not drawn, and the moonlight shone through the clean glass.


    The night was quiet and pleasant, just like Zhuang Xian¡¯s state of mind. It was quiet and peaceful. Zhuang Xian slowly closed her eyes as sleep overwhelmed her.


    Two minutes later, Zhuang Xian entered dreamland. She fell asleep much faster than usual and felt that this was all thanks to her mother¡¯s love noodles.


    Zhuang Xian woke up at 6 am the following day. The deep sleep from the previous night had washed away all her fatigue, and she looked like a new person.


    When she finished washing up and went downstairs, only Auntie Jiang was awake. She was about to prepare breakfast for the day.


    Zhuang Xian greeted Aunty Jiang and instructed her to prepare some ingredients for her pastry before she went out for her morning run.


    An hour later, Zhuang Ming gently held Lin En¡¯s waist, and they went downstairs together. Lin En looked at her satisfied husband and was filled with anger.


    Last night, Lin En had wanted to teach Zhuang Ming a lesson and tease him a little, but she ended up being dragged to bed by the old man and was tormented the entire night. This morning, her back was aching.


    Lin En rubbed her waist as she glared at Zhuang Ming. ¡°You¡¯re so naughty!¡± She scolded shyly.


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t refute her. Instead, he used this intimate position to gently peck Lin En¡¯s blushing face. The smile and adoration in his eyes couldn¡¯t be hidden.


    Zhuang Huai, stretching lazily, pushed open the door and walked out. When he looked up, he saw his parents hiding at the top of the stairs and making out.


    Zhuang Huai was speechless at his parent¡¯s public display of affection. They were still single dogs, so wasn¡¯t this a little too much?


    ¡°There are still children at home who are not of age! Dad and Mom, can you two be more mindful of your image? It¡¯s not good to teach a child bad things!¡± Zhuang Huai winked at Zhuang Ming, and Lin En as he said mischievously.


    Lin En heard her younger son¡¯s joke and glared at him. ¡°You know that you¡¯re single. It is embarrassing for such a big star not even to have a girlfriend! Do you dare to criticize me here? I¡¯ll beat you up, do you believe me?¡±


    Zhuang Huai looked at Lin En and said, ¡°I want to put my career first! Only by making a few good movies and having some work would I be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry! I¡¯ll be a real big star then!¡±


    Speaking of this makes Lin En a little angry. She pushed away her husband, clinging to her, and looked at Zhuang Huai with one hand on her waist. ¡°There¡¯s no conflict between career and love! Don¡¯t play dumb with me. You¡¯re not young anymore. It¡¯s not a bad thing to be in a relationship!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Huai said in surprise, ¡°Mom! I¡¯m only 20 years old. If you¡¯re in such a hurry to get a daughter-in-law, why don¡¯t you go and urge big brother and second brother? I¡¯m easy to bully, aren¡¯t I?¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Zhuang Huai and reprimanded him, ¡°You little rascal. How can you talk to your mother like that? She¡¯s doing this for your good, so shut up and apologize!¡±


    Zhuang Huai was speechless.


    Alright, Dad had always been biased toward Mom. Whether mom was in the wrong or not, they were in the wrong in the end! It was good to have a lover and to pamper each other. Single dogs didn¡¯t deserve to speak.

    172 Chapter 172. Similar


    Zhuang Huai finally understood what was happening and raised his hand to surrender, ¡°Alright! It¡¯s my fault. It¡¯s my honor to be scolded by Mom! My wife is true love, and my son is an accident. I understand that!¡±


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s face was filled with pride as he spoke. He slowly strolled over the stairs, and after passing Zhuang Ming and Lin En, he mischievously added another sentence. After speaking, he was afraid his mother would catch him, so he ran down the stairs laughing.


    Lin En didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry at his silly son. He vented his anger on Zhuang Ming. ¡°Look at your silly son.¡±


    ¡°How can it only be mine! It¡¯s ours.¡± Zhuang Ming said gently with a smile on his face.


    Zhuang Xian walked out of the kitchen with breakfast. She looked at her third brother, who was in high spirits early in the morning, and asked gently, ¡°What are you talking to Mom about on the second floor? Why are you so loud? It sounds like you¡¯re quarreling!¡±


    When Zhuang Huai saw his sister come out of the kitchen, he knew he would be in for a treat today.


    His eyes were fixed on the food on the table, but he didn¡¯t forget to answer Zhuang Xian¡¯s question. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything. It¡¯s just an ordinary protest and rebuttal by a single person.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him in confusion and asked silently.


    Zhuang Huai took out a piece of milk-scented breakfast. After taking a bite, he continued, ¡°I saw mom and dad being lovey-dovey, so I teased them a little. Mom said I was single, and if I didn¡¯t date, I wouldn¡¯t be doing my job.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re asking for it!¡± Zhuang Hang followed behind him, sat down, and complained, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t have a good eye. You don¡¯t even know your limits. No wonder your mother lectured you.¡±


    Zhuang Huai rolled his eyes at Zhuang Hang and was about to retort when Zhuang Xian interrupted him with a smile.


    ¡°Alright, brothers! Don¡¯t just bicker early in the morning; try my new breakfast.¡± Zhuang Xian said gently, acting as the temporary peacemaker.


    She turned around and saw Lin En and Zhuang Ming. She quickly called out, ¡°Dad, Mom, come quickly. We have to eat this breakfast while it¡¯s hot.¡±


    Lin En pretended to be calm as she sat down on a chair. Zhuang Ming followed behind her, looking at her unnatural movements with a bit of amusement. He coughed lightly and sat down as well.


    ¡°My baby Xian ¡®er made it. Of course, it¡¯s delicious.¡± Lin En said as she picked up a piece of delicate fresh pastry. An intense fragrance pounced over her as soon as she got close, making her drool.


    When she took a bite, the cake was crisp and refreshing. Lin En was amazed by the deliciousness. Her eyes widened, and she gave a thumbs up. She praised loudly, ¡°How is this made? It¡¯s too delicious! Xian ¡®er, your hands are too skillful.¡±


    ¡°Right, right! I told you that my sister¡¯s cooking is first-class! I think she can even compete with Lanwei¡¯s head chef!¡± Zhuang Huai¡¯s mouth was full of food, but he didn¡¯t forget to agree.


    He had always praised his sister¡¯s cooking skills. In the entertainment industry¡¯s words, Zhuang Huai was Zhuang Xian¡¯s cooking fan, and he was a hardcore and the die-hard fan.


    Zhuang Hang chewed silently on the side and did not forget to nod in agreement with third brother.


    Zhuang Ming chuckled as he savored the taste. His relaxed brows were filled with enjoyment. However, he suddenly felt that this taste was familiar as if he had eaten it somewhere before!


    That¡¯s right! This was similar to the desserts at Lan Wei restaurant. The last time they packed desserts, a cream-flavored pastry was very similar to this!


    The more Zhuang Ming thought about it, the more he felt it was true. He turned to Zhuang Xian and said bluntly, ¡°Xian ¡®er, did you make these desserts?¡±


    Lin En felt a little strange hearing that, saying, ¡°If Xian ¡®er didn¡¯t do it, did you? Why did you ask such a silly question?¡±


    Zhuang Ming did not care about Lin En¡¯s complaints. He thought of something and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think that Xian ¡®er¡¯s desserts look similar to the ones we had at Lanwei? ¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s words stunned everyone in the room.


    Zhuang Hang picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. He nodded and said, ¡°Dad, now that you mention it, I think it¡¯s similar! However, the one you made isn¡¯t as exquisite as Lanwei¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s very similar, and it¡¯s equally delicious! Little sister, you can go to Lanwei and be a chef.¡± Zhuang Huai said exaggeratedly.


    Zhuang Xian heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that her family had not linked her to Lanwei¡¯s chef. It seemed that she had been careful not to make the desserts the same as the other day.


    When she made these desserts today, she had actually hoped she would be lucky. However, Zhuang Xian had not expected her father to be so meticulous. He had only eaten the desserts and could remember them so clearly. He had almost seen through her.


    ¡°Thank you for the compliment, ¡± Zhuang Xian said calmly. ¡°If I have no other way out in the future, I can consider your suggestion.¡±


    Seeing his daughter being so honest, Zhuang Ming suppressed his thoughts for the time being. He smiled and nodded slowly, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to your third brother¡¯s nonsense. Finish your college and find any job you want. I can help you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled obediently and nodded, ¡°Yes, I know. Thank you, Dad.¡±


    ¡°By the way, will you report to the Holy Capital University soon?¡± Zhuang Ming asked again.


    ¡°Yes, father! We¡¯ll start reporting in three days. Third brother and second brother said they¡¯d send me off, so you don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± Zhuang Xian replied with a smile, turning her head to look at her mother, who had been staring at her without moving.


    After hearing Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang¡¯s conversation, Lin En was silent. She felt that her baby Xian ¡®er had something to do with this Lan Wei.


    As everyone knew, everyone¡¯s cooking techniques and styles were different. It was not easy to ask two completely different people to make something so similar. The most likely possibility was that Xian ¡®er was the chef who had made them the Western desserts the other day!


    Lin En was shocked by her thoughts and began to recall carefully.

 Chapter 174 - 174 Chapter 174. Seeking Advice

    174 Chapter 174. Seeking Advice


    Zhuang Xian looked at her father with a strange expression. Zhuang Ming pretended to be relaxed and said, ¡°Your mother didn¡¯t sleep well last night. It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯ll accompany her to catch up on sleep later,¡±


    Zhuang Xian was slightly stunned. She nodded and replied, ¡°Oh, I see. Dad, don¡¯t you have to go to the office today?¡±


    Zhuang Ming sighed. ¡°There¡¯s been negative public opinion about the Ye group again. I don¡¯t know who they¡¯ve offended, but the media doesn¡¯t do anything serious all day. They keep thinking that Ming ¡®En has slandered the Ye group. Yesterday, they waited for me in the underground parking lot the entire day. When I got home from work, I was almost scared to death! I¡¯m going to rest for the day. Second brother, you can help me with a meeting later.¡±


    Zhuang Hang was speechless.


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows slightly and began to plan in her heart.


    It seemed that the few articles she had Li Qin submit had begun to take effect.


    Was the Ye family getting restless again? The purpose of the media couldn¡¯t be as simple as just trying to get some information from the public. They might have other definitions.


    Zhuang Xian felt she had to be careful if someone did something desperate.


    She furrowed her brows and planned. It was time to arrange bodyguards for her family.


    After breakfast, Zhuang Xian took the lunchbox and left the house under the jealous gazes of her two brothers.


    Alright, it was OK if they gave President Mo a little. They were not such petty people. Their sister¡¯s cooking was good, and she deserved everyone¡¯s praise! Moreover, Mo Qian had indeed helped the Zhuang family quite a bit. It could be considered a token of his appreciation.


    The two older brothers, who were at odds with each other, watched as their younger sister sent food to another man. Even with their thick nerves, they did not react in time. If it was just some simple food, would it be worth it for Zhuang Xian to send it over personally? She could find a driver to pass it to.


    Zhuang Xian had made an appointment with Mo Qian to pick up Mo Qian¡¯s case and do a consultation simultaneously.


    At Ren Xin Hospital.


    Si Rong looked at Mo Qian, who had rushed to the hospital early in the morning for all sorts of examinations. He asked curiously, ¡°What are you doing? It¡¯s only been a short while since the last physical examination. Why are you thinking about it again?¡±


    Mo Qian got Mo Xi to bring back all the test results. He looked up at Si Rong and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a routine physical examination.¡±


    ¡°Eh? You¡¯re mistaken, Mo Qian. You¡¯re not the kind of person who would waste time on useless things! Don¡¯t lie to me; hurry up and tell me what¡¯s happening!¡± Si Rong wasn¡¯t as gullible as Xiang Nan. He had a high IQ.


    Mo Qian looked at Si Rong indifferently. After a long while, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you and Xiang Nan when I have accurate information. Don¡¯t ask now!


    Si Rong looked at Mo Qian. Their tacit understanding after being brothers for so many years was revealed.


    Since Mo Qian didn¡¯t want to tell them, he must have his concerns. Since he promised to say to them in the future, he would keep his word. They just had to wait.


    Si Rong nodded to show that he understood. He changed the topic without asking further. ¡°How¡¯s your progress with the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter? Have you apologized to her on my behalf for what happened last time?¡±


    Mo Qian felt a little frustrated at the mention of this. He looked at Si Rong in confusion. ¡°What kind of methods do young girls like for people to pursue these days? Should I give her a gift? A surprise?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s questions stunned Si Rong.


    If Si Rong weren¡¯t sure that the person in front of him was his real brother, he would have thought Mo Qian had been replaced!


    When did he need to consult others with young master Mo¡¯s pride and intelligence? Where did the confidence and determined Mo Qian from not long ago go?


    After Si Rong recovered from his shock, he found it funny. Even the insufferably arrogant sole heir of the Mo Corporation, who had been hailed as a genius since he was young, couldn¡¯t help but be confused and awkward when it came to love.


    Many things in the world could be exchanged for money and power, but that did not necessarily include love. In such an excellent relationship, even an intelligent person like Mo Qian would become an ordinary person who was in a dilemma.


    ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Mo Qian asked in confusion when he saw the smile on Si Rong¡¯s face.


    Si Rong raised his hand to show he was wrong and explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, ¡°It¡¯s nothing! I didn¡¯t expect that you would have such a day. One can see all kinds of bizarre things if one lives long enough.¡±

 Chapter 175 - 175 Chapter 175. Tips

    175 Chapter 175. Tips


    Mo Qian looked at him coldly and was about to leave in his wheelchair when Si Rong stopped him and said helplessly, ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. I can give you some advice on the questions you asked.¡±


    These words were alluring to Mo Qian, so he stopped doing what he was doing. He looked slightly at Si Rong and gestured with his eyes, ¡°Hurry up and say it.¡±


    About 15 minutes later, the head nurse knocked on the door and interrupted Si Rong and Mo Qian¡¯s intimate conversation.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop here for now! It would help if you tried it when you get back. Maybe the fourth Miss will like it!¡± Si Rong blinked mischievously and said in a light tone, ¡°They probably have something to say to me. You can do whatever you want. Just close the office door for me when you leave!


    As Si Rong spoke, he buttoned up his white coat, stood up, and left Mo Qian, who was still silently digesting his suggestion, in a daze.


    Si Rong walked in front and listened to the head nurse¡¯s report on beds 11 and 12.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what to do with that woman in bed 11! How could there be such an unreasonable person who doesn¡¯t know her limits? I don¡¯t know how Deputy Director Zhang can stand these people; his temper is too good!¡± The head nurse complained about Zhuang Jing and did not forget to praise Dr. Zhang¡¯s good temper.


    Si Rong furrowed his brows at the thought of Zhuang Jing. Since Zhuang Jie was admitted to the hospital, their department had not had a peaceful day. Only the good-tempered Zhang Tao could keep that crazy woman in check.


    ¡°So, where¡¯s director Zhang?¡± Si Rong asked. Is he off today?¡±


    As he spoke, he raised his wrist to look at the time. He frowned slightly. Usually, at this time, Dr. Zhang should have finished his ward rounds. Why did he let Zhuang Jing mess around in the ward today?


    The head nurse sighed and explained, ¡°We couldn¡¯t find Deputy Director Zhang anywhere, and we don¡¯t know where he went. We had no choice but to come and invite you!¡±


    Si Rong nodded to show that he understood. His gaze turned cold as he asked the head nurse, ¡°So, what did the Zhuang mother and daughter do?¡±


    Speaking of this, the head nurse was furious. She followed behind Si Rong quickly and said anxiously, ¡°Ever since the mother and daughter, as well as the An family, were admitted to the hospital, Deputy Director Zhang and our nurses¡¯ station have never been quiet! We don¡¯t believe it¡¯s our fault that the two young ladies are sick, so why do their family members keep holding on to us? I really can¡¯t figure out how there are still such unreasonable people in this day and age!¡±


    ¡°Especially Zhuang Jing, she¡¯s a Shrew! Yesterday, Deputy Director Zhang arranged a critical medical examination for Zhuang Jie and asked her daughter to go on a diet for a day. However, she refused to cooperate and even scolded our hospital for not doing the right thing after taking the money. We investigated for so many days and still couldn¡¯t find anything! I can¡¯t believe they still have the nerve to ask about the final examination results today!¡±


    Si Rong quietly listened to the head nurse¡¯s complaints. The head nurse was very experienced, and it was rare for her to be angered to such an extent. He could only say that Zhuang Jing¡¯s detestable skills were ordinary!


    ¡°What kind of tests did Director Zhang arrange for them?¡± Si Rong asked expressionlessly. He was also thinking about this matter. They had indeed moved in for a few days. It would be inappropriate if they still couldn¡¯t confirm her condition.


    However, just as he finished his sentence, Zhuang Jing pointed at Dr. Zhang¡¯s nose and scolded him out of Zhuang Jie¡¯s room. ¡°You¡¯ve only found this after investigating for a few days? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think we¡¯re fools? Your hospital has delayed us for so many days. You must give us an explanation today!¡±


    The head nurse saw Dr. Zhang and said in surprise, ¡°Deputy Director Zhang, where did you come from?¡±


    Compared to Zhuang Jing and Madam An¡¯s arrogant and unforgiving attitude, Dr Zhang was gentler and more modest. He raised his hand to block Zhuang Jing¡¯s fingers and said in a deep voice, ¡°The two of you, please calm down and listen to me, okay? There was no point in continuing this! The medical report is out, and they¡¯re fine. If you want to be discharged today, I can approve it!¡±


    As for what you said about the hospital wasting your time, don¡¯t you think it takes time to check the cause and eliminate the reason?¡± Dr Zhang retorted.

 Chapter 176 - 176 Chapter 176. Whos Afraid of Whom?

    176 Chapter 176. Who¡¯s Afraid of Whom?


    Seeing that Zhuang Jing was still indignant, Dr. Zhang added sternly, ¡°It¡¯s already the best result that we didn¡¯t find any serious illness. So, please be rational and don¡¯t insult or attack our hospital and medical staff! If you insist on causing trouble, I can only choose to call the police!¡±


    He had done an excellent job of using peaceful means before resorting to force. To deal with someone like Zhuang Jing, who was impervious to anything and was good at pestering others, it was impossible to be too gentle and polite.


    As expected, Zhuang Jing immediately exploded when she heard this. She shouted, ¡°What do you mean? Do you want to call the police? Alright! We¡¯ll let the police judge and see if this is your hospital¡¯s negligence!¡±


    When Zhang Ting heard Zhuang Jing¡¯s words, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her over. After glancing sideways at Si Rong behind her, he consoled her in a low voice, feeling guilty, ¡°Alright! Don¡¯t mess around! The doctor was right. If it weren¡¯t for you and Zhuang Jie, who didn¡¯t cooperate with us during the past two days, complaining here and there, we would have gotten the results long ago!¡±


    ¡°Zhang Ting! Whose side are you on? Zhuang Jie and I are your family; can¡¯t you tell who¡¯s close to you? Why are you helping them?¡± Zhuang Jing angrily said.


    Zhang Ting had always been angry at Zhuang Jing, but he didn¡¯t dare to speak up. Seeing that Zhuang Jing had started to vent her anger on him, he didn¡¯t dare talk back either. He mumbled a few words in a low voice, but at this time, he couldn¡¯t talk back to Zhuang Jing anymore. He ran away with extraordinary speed.


    An Ye¡¯s mother was also a person who used to intimidate others. After hearing Dr. Zhang¡¯s warning and Zhang Ting¡¯s advice, she also gave up the idea of continuing to make a scene and scamming the hospital for mental damage compensation!


    She went up to Zhuang Jing and coyly said, ¡°Sister Zhuang, I think brother-in-law makes sense! The children are fine. This is the best result!¡±


    ¡°What do you know?¡± Zhuang Jing glanced at Madam An and said softly, ¡°They¡¯re just bullying us. If I don¡¯t give them a good scolding, they won¡¯t know who they shouldn¡¯t neglect and offend! Our Zhuang family is famous in City H. These people should be scolded for being so blind!¡±


    Si Rong took two steps forward and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at Zhuang Jing indifferently and said sarcastically, ¡°Hmph! What a big tone! Even if old Madam Zhuang were here today, with me, she would still have to abide by the hospital¡¯s rules, let alone the fact that you¡¯re just a daughter of the Zhuang family who married another man! It¡¯s already the 21st century. Which feudalistic era are you from? Do you think that others are your family¡¯s slaves? Can¡¯t you be a little less shameless?¡±


    Zhuang Jing turned around and saw that he was the son of the Si family. The anger in her heart subsided a little, but she still said in a strange tone, ¡°Young master Si¡¯s tone is not small! Our family¡¯s old lady is of the same generation as your grandfather. When your grandfather sees her, he must smile and greet her. Are you so disrespectful to your elders? Where have your manners gone?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you use other people¡¯s status to pressure me? This is a hospital, a place where everyone is equal, not a feudal family like yours!¡± Si Rong put down his crossed arms and looked at Zhuang Jing coldly, his eyes filled with disgust and disdain.


    If Zhuang Jing had her capabilities, it would have been fine, but this kind of behavior that only knew how to rely on the Zhuang family to oppress others was disgusting.


    Other people might be polite to her, but Si Rong wasn¡¯t afraid of such things. Although the Si family couldn¡¯t compare to a large family like Mo Qian¡¯s, they were still people that ordinary families like the Zhuang family didn¡¯t dare to offend!


    What he hated the most was this incompetent person who only knew how to use her connections to intimidate others. She was shallow and ugly.


    He raised his hand and gestured to the head nurse beside him. ¡°Go and call the security office over and get these scoundrels out! If anything happens, I¡¯ll take responsibility.¡±


    Si Rong¡¯s voice was cold and stern, and the imposing aura of a noble young master exuded from him, causing the people around him to freeze.


    Zhuang Jing glared at Si Rong, her face red with anger.


    She had also been spoiled rotten by old Madam Zhuang. Even though she was already someone¡¯s wife and mother, she still didn¡¯t know how to restrain her arrogance. Because of this, she offended many people. Today, she met Si Rong, and it could be said that she had met an iron plate.

    When Zhang Ting heard this, he pulled Zhuang Jing¡¯s hand harder. He swallowed his saliva and tried to ease his nervous state. ¡°Young master Si! It¡¯s a misunderstanding, don¡¯t be angry. If we have something to say, we have to talk it out. It¡¯s not suitable for everyone if things get too stiff! My wife is too worried and anxious, so she doesn¡¯t know her limits!


    It¡¯s just as director Zhang said. It¡¯s good that they didn¡¯t find anything wrong with the children! We shouldn¡¯t be opposing each other like this. It¡¯s not appropriate.¡± Zhang Ting chuckled as he added, trying to smooth things over between Si Rong and Zhuang Jing.


    This matter was not a big deal. It was just that Zhuang Jing was frightened by Dr. Zhang¡¯s words the other day. After a few days, she realized that Dr. Zhang was deliberately toying with them.


    Zhuang Jing was furious, which was why she had brought Mrs. An to point at the doctors and nurses early in the morning to vent her anger. Dr. Zhang arrived later, and just as he entered the ward to say a few words, Zhuang Jing pointed at his nose and scolded him. Coincidentally, Si Rong had also seen it.


    Seeing that Zhang Ting had spoken, Mrs. An quickly helped to persuade him. ¡°Yes, yes! Peace is the only way to make money; there¡¯s no need! Let¡¯s both take a step back!¡±


    As she spoke, she turned around to look at Dr. Zhang. The expression on her face was completely different from before. She smiled and said, ¡°Since it¡¯s confirmed that we¡¯re fine, director Zhang, please help us get discharged! We¡¯ve been waiting here for a few days and want to go home and rest well.¡±


    Dr. Zhang saw that his goal had been achieved, so he took a deep breath and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you talk nicely earlier? Why did you have to make such a big fuss and waste everyone¡¯s time?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes! You¡¯re right, Director Zhang.¡± Zhang Ting replied hurriedly.


    Dr. Zhang turned to look at Si Rong and said in a low voice, ¡°Thank you for supporting me, director. I¡¯ll handle the rest! You can do your own thing.¡±


    Si Rong looked at Zhuang Jing and Zhang Ting for a long time without saying anything, but his aura was frightening.


    When he heard Dr. Zhang¡¯s words, he turned around and glanced at him. After all, the two of them were colleagues in the same department. He still had to take care of Dr. Zhang¡¯s face.


    ¡°Forget it; handle it well! Hurry up, and don¡¯t delay the meeting later.¡± Si Rong turned and left right after he finished speaking.


    In his heart, he felt that it was good for her to leave quickly. He thought it hurt his eyes to look at Zhuang Jing again!


    Dr. Zhang looked at Si Rong¡¯s back as he left. A meaningful look flashed across his eyes behind his glasses.


    What he did just now was the right thing to do. After fighting with Zhuang Jing for the past few days, he realized that Zhuang Jing was not a simple person. The mission that Silente had given him did not seem as simple as he thought.


    Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s condition had also improved, so it would be too forced to keep them.


    Just as Dr. Zhang was worrying about how to complete this mission, Silente gave him a new order.


    That was to let Zhuang Jie and An Ye out and leave the rest to her. Although Dr. Zhang did not understand, he chose to obey, which led to today¡¯s farce.


    He had lured Zhuang Jing into making a move, then pulled Si Rong into the trap.


    He knew that Si Rong had long disliked Zhuang Jing. Si Rong¡¯s sharp tongue and young master¡¯s temper were well-known in the department. With Si Rong around, he would never lose to Zhuang Jing in a battle of words and aura.


    Of course, Dr. Zhang¡¯s ¡®young master¡¯s temper was not in negative way, but to say that he was not afraid of power and dealt with those who refused to submit.


    After Dr. Zhang finished the discharge procedures for Zhuang Jie and An Ye, he sent a message to Silente and reported this matter to her.


    Sitting in the Mo family¡¯s luxurious living room, Zhuang Xian was checking the messages that Dr. Zhang had sent her on her phone. She heaved a sigh of relief as she thought, ¡®A good show is about to start, and the main character must be present!¡¯


    The semester at Sheng Du (Saint Capital) University was about to start. How could she let Zhuang Jie and An Ye hide in the hospital and not compete with the world? Once everyone was gathered, her revenge plan would be easier to implement!


    ¡°What are you thinking about? You¡¯re in such a good mood!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s voice suddenly interrupted Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts. She turned to look at him and said sarcastically, ¡°Mr. Mo¡¯s concept of time is accurate!¡±

    Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s slightly raised brows and the mocking expression on her little face, and his mood suddenly brightened up.


    He moved his wheelchair closer and explained with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I went to the hospital to get my examination report. I didn¡¯t mean to leave you alone at home. I think you¡¯ll need this detailed information.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he gestured for Mo Xi to place the thick stack of documents in his hands on the coffee table in front of Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian looked at these things and was slightly embarrassed.


    How should he put it? She felt that Mo Qian was being a little too serious. Saint Valley Medicine was famous for its traditional Chinese medicine, so the rigorous and complicated tests of Western medicine were not necessary for Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes.


    However, when she saw Mo Qian¡¯s serious expression, Zhuang Xian could not say anything.


    Alright, it¡¯s better to take preventive measures. Perhaps she might need it later!


    Zhuang Xian thought about it and lifted her hand to rub her nose. ¡°Alright. The main purpose of my visit today is to pass on medicine master Qing Yi¡¯s message.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at her with great interest. ¡°Really? You¡¯re quite efficient. What is the apothecary in green saying?¡±


    Perhaps she was overly sensitive, but Zhuang Xian felt something was wrong with Mo Qian¡¯s tone. Compared to yesterday, he was not as agitated.


    Zhuang Xian felt as if Mo Qian had seen through her. He was merely playing along with her act!


    Zhuang Xian looked straight into Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, trying to find something that could confirm her suspicions. However, she almost drowned in his gentle eyes.


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and shook her head, trying to eliminate this strange feeling of being teased. She didn¡¯t forget to reply, ¡°Of course. I, Zhuang Xian, am a woman of my word. I will keep my promise to you.¡±


    As she spoke, she took a deep breath and pushed the food box beside her toward Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian understood Zhuang Xian¡¯s meaning. After a moment of surprise, he said in surprise, ¡°Is it for me?¡±

 Chapter 179 - 179 Chapter 179. Playing Along With You

    179 Chapter 179. Playing Along With You


    Zhuang Xian looked at the pair of legs with rapt attention. She was also thinking about the case that she had seen before.


    She stretched out her hand and pressed the muscles of Mo Qian¡¯s calf with a strange technique. As she pressed, she asked, ¡°Do you feel anything when I press on your leg muscles like this? Do you feel any numbness? Does it hurt?¡±


    Mo Qian was still slightly uncomfortable when Zhuang Xian placed her hand on his leg. This feeling was like a wound that had been covered for many years was suddenly exposed in front of others.


    And this person just had to be his most beloved woman. This kind of honesty requires courage, and it should be difficult for people without a solid heart to do it.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s palm was warm, and her tone of voice seemed caring.


    Mo Qian chuckled as he looked at her and replied gently, ¡°There¡¯s no soreness or pain. I feel a little bit of body temperature.


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian¡¯s brows furrowed slightly as if she had encountered a complex problem.


    The last time she gave Mo Qian a massage in her father¡¯s office, she didn¡¯t have the time to look at Mo Qian¡¯s injured leg. Now that she had seen it, she felt Mo Qian¡¯s problem was much more complicated than expected.


    She glanced at Mo Qian; her furrowed brows showed a rare seriousness. ¡°Can you accept me using silver needles on you? The normal reaction and reflex of your calf muscles have not reached the level of a normal person. I need to understand more about it to see if it¡¯s a problem with your motor nerve!¡±


    Mo Qian looked at her serious expression and found it very cute. He replied gently, ¡°You can do whatever you want; I¡¯ll cooperate.¡±


    When a doctor diagnosed a patient, he loved the kind of patient who took the initiative to cooperate.


    Zhuang Xian nodded slightly and took a silver needle pouch from her bag. She took out one needle and carefully inserted it into an acupuncture point on Mo Qian¡¯s ankle.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s well-equipped equipment and knew that she had come prepared, so he did not interrupt her.


    Since Zhuang Xian wanted to hide it from him, he could only cooperate with her. After all, she was someone he liked, so it didn¡¯t matter if he pampered her a little more!


    As Zhuang Xian slowly inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point, Mo Qian gradually felt his feet ache. He frowned and said to Zhuang Xian in discomfort, ¡°It¡¯s a little sore and swollen.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian released her hand and massaged the acupuncture points she had inserted.


    Mo Qian noticed that Zhuang Xian was very focused and serious when she did her work. Her expression moved Mo Qian¡¯s heart.


    Three minutes later, Mo Qian¡¯s forehead began to sweat, but his lips were redder than before.


    Zhuang Xian retracted her hand and sat back in her seat, frowning as she thought about something.


    She reached out to take the wet tissue Mo Xi handed over and carefully wiped her fingers.


    Mo Qian saw that she was silent, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He exhaled slightly and pretended to calm down as he asked, ¡°How is it? Is the situation worse? Can it be cured?¡±


    Zhuang Xian threw the used tissue on the table and raised her head to look at Mo Qian. Similarly, she saw the slight frustration in his eyes. Zhuang Xian raised her brows slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°You don¡¯t trust me that much? I¡¯m ¡­¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Mo Qian asked doubtfully.


    Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    ¡°Argh! I mean, don¡¯t you trust the people of Saint Valley Medicine? They¡¯re the best people in the world who can treat rare diseases. If they can¡¯t do anything, there¡¯s no way to cure your injury!¡± Zhuang Xian was stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her senses and adding.


    She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s slightly smiling eyes and was somewhat unconvinced. Could Mo Qian have already seen through something? She was only talking; he probably wouldn¡¯t think in that direction, right?


    Zhuang Xian held on to a sliver of hope. She did not know that her expression of trying to find a way to make things up was no longer of any use in explaining herself in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes.


    Zhuang Xian could very well be medicine master Qing Yi!


    As Mo Qian thought of this, he looked at her with a smile and said pleasantly, ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s what it means! I thought ¡­¡±

 Chapter 180 - 180 Chapter 180. Bad Taste

    180 Chapter 180. Bad Taste


    Mo Qian had initially wanted to continue his act with Zhuang Xian. However, his wicked sense of humor grew as he looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s pretty little face. He decided to listen to Si Rong and change his way of teasing Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s intuition told her that Mo Qian had suddenly stopped in his tracks to lure her into his trap and expose her identity! Hmph, she wasn¡¯t stupid to jump into a trap after seeing it.


    ¡°I¡¯ve gathered all the information the medicine master in green wants to know. You can wait for two days in peace. For some treatment methods, she might have to go back and flip through the valley¡¯s ancient books to find some information!¡± Zhuang Xian thought she had changed the topic promptly and spoke quickly.


    She saw that Mo Qian did not speak and only looked at her with a smile in his eyes, so she quickly added, ¡± Qing Yi and I are good friends; I know her level. Although your injury is complicated and rare, it¡¯s not impossible to cure. You can wait for the news with peace of mind!¡±


    With Mo Xi¡¯s help, Mo Qian had already put on his shoes and socks. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhuang Xian tenderly. After a long while, he nodded and said, ¡°Okay, I got it. Help me thank her.¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt that Mo Qian seemed to have seen through her disguise. His eyes were filled with joy and even a little teasing!


    Zhuang Xian sighed and thought helplessly, ¡®Forget it; it¡¯s hard to deal with smart people! Not to mention a character like Mo Qian, who was so intelligent that he was almost demonic. It was only a matter of time before she fell. As long as the two had a tacit understanding, it would be fine.¡¯


    She trusted that Mo Qian would never betray the oath he had made.


    ¡°Holy maiden Qing Yi is a kind-hearted and pure person. I don¡¯t know how to repay her for her great kindness!¡± Mo Qian leaned closer to Zhuang Xian and chuckled, ¡± ¡°Zhuang Xian, how do you think I should repay her?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was slightly taken aback. What did it mean? Was he deliberately playing with her? Didn¡¯t he already know that she was Qing Yi? Was he teasing her by asking this now?


    ¡°The Saint Valley¡¯s healers are all kind-hearted; I don¡¯t think they would ask for anything in return from Mr. Mo.¡± Zhuang Xian replied.


    Mo Qian moved closer to Zhuang Xian and said gently, ¡°We¡¯ve been friends for a while now. Why are you still saying Mr. Mo this and Mr. Mo that? I¡¯m older than you by a few years so that you can call me big brother in the future!¡±


    Zhuang Xian was slightly speechless. This man was starting to flirt with her again, and he was doing it in front of Mo Xi!


    However, when she heard Mo Qian¡¯s gentle voice, Zhuang Xian could not roll her eyes. She turned her head away and did not look at him! However, her heart was in a mess and told her that she was not wholly unruffled.


    Zhuang Xian let out a breath and forced a smile. ¡°I already have enough brothers. I don¡¯t need you, President Mo. Let¡¯s forget about it.¡±


    Mo Qian laughed and teased her, ¡°So what? Isn¡¯t it good to have an older brother? Or if you find it difficult, you can call me by my name in the future. I don¡¯t want us to be so distant!¡±


    Mo Xi could only lower his head to hide his stunned expression! ¡®Did something happen just now? Was the young master attacking the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss? The straight ball method had a clear and precise goal!


    Oh my God! What was wrong with this world? How did the young master become like this? Where did his gentle and refined young master, always at his wit¡¯s end, go?¡¯


    Naturally, Mo Qian could not hear Mo Xi¡¯s inner thoughts. He quietly watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s frozen expression and wondered if he had used too much force and had gone too far!


    Although Si Rong had been in so many relationships, most of the tricks he had given him weren¡¯t very good! To think he had taken note of everything Si Rong had said so seriously just now. It turned out that it was all in vain.


    He didn¡¯t know that Zhuang Xian, who was already in a daze, was actually having her heart beat wildly!


    Although Mo Qian¡¯s flirtatious methods were a little old-fashioned when coupled with his unique temperament and charm, with that handsome face that seemed to be the work of a god, and that pair of amorous Phoenix eyes that appeared to be able to squeeze the honey out, people could not help but be bewitched by him and willingly become his subordinate!


    Mo Qian had a special kind of magic that was highly alluring, causing Zhuang Xian to approach him involuntarily.

 Chapter 181 - 181 Chapter 181. Sealed Heart

    181 Chapter 181. Sealed Heart


    Mo Qian looked at the silent Zhuang Xian, and his heart began to beat faster. Did he use too much force this time and have the opposite effect?


    Just as the three of them were silent and didn¡¯t know what to say, an Auntie came out of the kitchen and said to Mo Qian gently and respectfully, ¡°Young master, it¡¯s already noon. When would you and your guest like to have lunch?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian snapped back to his senses. Just as he was about to reply to the Auntie, he was interrupted by Zhuang Xian, who had a hurried tone and an extremely unnatural expression on her face.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be borrowing your bathroom. Thank you.¡± As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom.


    Mo Qian thought of getting someone to take her to the washroom, but her actions dispelled him.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as she walked away unnaturally and hurriedly. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. He smiled and instructed the kitchen lady, ¡°Prepare a meal.¡±


    Zhuang Xian, who had pushed open the door to the bathroom on the first floor, had her hands on the marble of the sink. She lowered her head and let out a few heavy breaths.


    Her heart was chaotic and beating very fast. The spring breeze suddenly swept the usually calm and peaceful stagnant water. After the ripples, it could not return to its original relaxed appearance for a long time.


    This feeling was too foreign to Zhuang Xian. She was a little panicked. She didn¡¯t want to think too deeply about the reason.


    She felt that if she relaxed more, everything would change significantly. She didn¡¯t know if it was good or bad, so she kept avoiding it.


    Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were watery and crystal clear, and her face was slightly red, like a young girl who had just experienced love.


    However, only she knew that her mind was still evident at that moment. Zhuang Xian washed her face as if trying to wash away her budding love for Mo Qian.


    She didn¡¯t know that it was impossible to hide the feeling of having a good impression and liking someone. Love would only gradually become increasingly heavier as it was hidden more profound. It would not diminish or disappear.


    Zhuang Xian was a brilliant person, but she did not seem to understand these things.


    After her rebirth, her 16-year-old body carried the experience of her two lives. The maturity of her soul was far higher than what it appeared on the surface.


    ¡°Fourth young Miss? Are you alright? The young master is still waiting for you to eat.¡± The maid¡¯s gentle voice came from outside the bathroom.


    Zhuang Xian glanced sideways at the door and replied, ¡°I know; I¡¯ll come.¡±


    Mo Qian looked up at Zhuang Xian, who had just returned, and smiled gently, ¡°I¡¯ve eaten at your house several times! We¡¯ve returned the favor today. Come and try Auntie¡¯s cooking. Can she be compared to you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian walked over and looked up at Mo Qian. ¡°I just received news from my mother. She¡¯s looking for me, so I must go back now.¡±


    Mo Qian was taken aback. He couldn¡¯t understand why Zhuang Xian had returned to her cold and distant self in just a few minutes. Where did the lively Zhuang Xian go?


    The smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face froze. After a long while, he slowly said, ¡°Since you¡¯re busy, I won¡¯t keep you. I¡¯ll get the driver to take you.¡±


    The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet. Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian¡¯s gentle yet disappointed and lonely expression and felt a little sorry for him. After a pause, she nodded in agreement.


    Mo Qian maneuvered his wheelchair to follow behind Zhuang Xian, signaling for Mo Xi to help her carry her things. He then turned back and gave the kitchen lady a look, and the lady immediately understood and returned to the kitchen.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to send me off. Remember not to drink these few days; your food should be light. Qing Yi should have some results in these two days.¡± Zhuang Xian walked in front of Mo Qian, and she spoke with an indifferent expression.


    Mo Qian nodded. ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll listen to you.¡±


    He listened to Zhuang Xian and was willing to cooperate, but he didn¡¯t stop sending her off.


    Because Mo Qian always moved around in a wheelchair, the front yard of the Mo family house didn¡¯t have any doorsteps or steps. One could sit in a wheelchair directly to the parking lot.


    Zhuang Xian watched as Mo Xi helped her put her documents and bag into the car. She turned back to look at Mo Qian, got into the car, and left.

 Chapter 182 - 182 Chapter 182. Mo Qian Understands Her

    182 Chapter 182. Mo Qian Understands Her


    Mo Xi didn¡¯t quite understand the awkward and silent atmosphere between them. He watched the driver move the car out, turned to Mo Qian, and asked, ¡°This is a great opportunity. Young master, why didn¡¯t you ask fourth Miss to stay? Isn¡¯t it good to have a meal together?¡±


    Mo Qian watched the car drive out of the gate of the courtyard. He sighed slightly and said leisurely, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel that she has a very mysterious temperament? Most of the time, she¡¯s innocent and romantic, but sometimes, I feel that she¡¯s not as happy as she seems. There are always many complicated things mixed in her temperament and soul!¡±


    Mo Qian retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and spoke in a low voice, ¡°And these complicated things have been holding her back. It¡¯s like she¡¯s carrying many things on her back.¡±


    Mo Qian softly expressed his feelings as his mood turned heavy. For some reason, his heart ached for Zhuang Xian.


    Mo Xi naturally couldn¡¯t understand these delicate emotions. He also didn¡¯t see these things that the young master had said in the fourth Miss.


    However, he still consoled him. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just that the fourth miss¡¯ living environment wasn¡¯t good since she was young, so she looks more mature than her peers! This isn¡¯t a bad thing.¡±


    Mo Qian listened to Mo Xi¡¯s words and nodded his head indifferently, but he did not entirely agree with Mo Xi¡¯s comments in his heart. Zhuang Xian¡¯s maturity and intelligence were not that simple. She had a deeper level of maturity, which was the weight of her soul.


    Mo Qian felt that there must be something else about Zhuang Xian that he didn¡¯t know about. And precisely these things caused Zhuang Xian to be hesitant in her confession and honesty.


    To a large extent, Mo Qian had already figured out Zhuang Xian¡¯s current state of mind and emotions. His intuition was correct; Zhuang Xian was struggling and wavering.


    Meanwhile, Zhuang Xian, who had left in the car, was currently holding her phone and checking the messages that Li Qin had sent her.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her phone with a strange expression. She thought for a moment and said to the driver in front, ¡°You don¡¯t have to send me home. Stop by the side.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian¡¯s driver nodded and replied, ¡°Yes, miss.¡±


    After the car stopped, Zhuang Xian looked at the medical records and equipment beside her and felt a little worried. The driver seemed to sense Zhuang Xian¡¯s distress and suggested tentatively, ¡°Is fourth Miss going out to handle some matters? It¡¯s inconvenient for you to carry these things, so why don¡¯t I help you send them home?¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at him. She nodded gently and said, ¡°That¡¯s good. Just leave it with the guard and tell him I¡¯ll pick it up when I get home.¡±


    ¡°Yes! Miss.¡± The driver replied.


    Zhuang Xian stood up and got out of the car, thinking this arrangement was perfect.


    To prevent complications, it was better not to bring these confidential and personal items to see Li Qin and the people from the Ye group. By leaving them at the guard¡¯s place, there was no need to worry about disturbing the people at home. It was perfect.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts, but her hands did not stop moving. She gave Li Qin a call.


    ¡°Sister Xian? Did you see my message? Ye Zheng fell for it and said that he¡¯ll be meeting our staff by the tea house door this afternoon.¡±


    When Li Qin saw that Zhuang Xian had called him back, he quickly reported the situation of the Ye Group.


    Zhuang Xian quietly listened to Li Qin¡¯s words, and after a moment of silence, she ordered, ¡°Let Masaharu go and calm them down first. I¡¯ll go and meet him personally later.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I understand, sister Xian! Where are you now? Do you need me to pick you up?¡± Li Qin was currently in one of the elegant rooms in Yimen teahouse. The computer that he always carried with him was on the table. He said to Zhuang Xian with concern.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the traffic on the street and refused, ¡°No need, I¡¯ll come over myself.¡±


    She hung up the phone and waved for a taxi as she spoke. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the business district.¡±


    The sound of the car¡¯s engine rang out. Zhuang Xian leaned back in her seat and started thinking about how to deal with Ye Zheng later.


    Since the public opinion battle last time, Zhuang Xian had no intention of letting go of Ye Group.


    Ye Zheng¡¯s greed was insatiable, and his heart was even more sinister. He wanted to pull down the Ming En Group, whose business and reputation were rising. Naturally, Zhuang Xian would not let him and Ye Xin have their way.

 Chapter 183 - 183 Chapter 183. Write

    183 Chapter 183. Write-up Money


    Therefore, the attack on Ye Group by Xian Du Economic Times never stopped.


    The Ye Group had been suppressed by these negative comments for almost half a month and could not fight back. The one who had been commenting and reporting on them was the Xian Du newspaper, which always spoke the truth and had a tremendous influence. The chief editor was Yan An, the most famous writer in the economic circle.


    Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t bear the disturbance and couldn¡¯t find someone to send a message to Ya Jing. They expressed that they were willing to cooperate with Ya Jing, and the price was negotiable. As long as Ya Jing could invite Yan An over to negotiate with Ye Zheng and let the Ye family go to other people, they were willing to pay Yan An a very generous remuneration!


    Ye Zheng had no other choice. Now, people in the industry regard precision as the benchmark. The few business deals he had this week had all been indirectly ruined by Yan An.


    When the other companies found out they were the companies that Yan An had pointed out and criticized; they immediately gave up on working with them.


    Many other companies in the industry had similar strengths as their family; among them, Ming En Corporation was comparable to this year¡¯s dark horse!


    Wouldn¡¯t it be better to choose Ming En than Ye Group? They were not fools! Moreover, Ming En¡¯s Zhuang Ming was rumored to be a man with an excellent reputation. He was a sparkling treasure compared to Ye Zheng, who had much gossip.


    Yimen Teahouse was a very famous teahouse in City H. The consumption level was not low; it was a place that many successful people in upper-class society liked to visit. Of course, it was also an excellent place to talk business.


    The elegant rooms on the second floor had some barriers, and ordinary people couldn¡¯t enter.


    Ye Zheng was sitting in a private room in the back, waiting anxiously with a worried expression. He glanced at the person in charge of the so-called delicacy department sitting opposite him and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Will teacher Yan An come today? Our Ye Group is very sincere; we hope to cooperate happily with teacher Yan An!¡±


    Ya Jing smiled gently and said, ¡°I understand CEO Ye¡¯s anxiousness, but teacher Yan An is very busy. We informed teacher Yan An as soon as we received your intention to work with us. Since she agreed, she¡¯ll come back. Please don¡¯t be impatient.¡±


    Ye Zheng suppressed the anger in his heart from being neglected, and his lowered eyes were filled with coldness.


    Ye Xin sat beside Ye Zheng and looked at Ya Jing with the same indifferent expression.


    She thought to herself; Xian Du probably sent this woman as a pretense to brush them off! It had been half an hour since the agreed time. Yan An didn¡¯t look like someone who didn¡¯t have a sense of time, so she could only be doing it on purpose!


    However, even though Xian Du had tricked them, Ye Xin and Ye Zheng had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and continue waiting. They had no other way to resolve their current predicament. If this situation continued, the Ye Group would only be greeted with even more terrifying consequences.


    Li Qin was hiding in the elegant room next to them and was looking at the latest situation on the computer. The corners of his mouth were wide open, and he was laughing! It was no wonder that Ye Zheng and Ye Xin were so anxious. Ye Group¡¯s stock price had been dropping, and today was particularly serious.


    After 10 minutes, Li Qin rushed downstairs to pick up Zhuang Xian.


    He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him in disbelief. Was this his sister Xian? Of course, Li Qin knew that Zhuang Xian used to be an assassin, so it was natural for her to have the means to disguise herself!


    However, he couldn¡¯t see any trace of Zhuang Xian on this unfamiliar woman. If Zhuang Xian hadn¡¯t taken the initiative to greet him, he wouldn¡¯t have recognized her, let alone the father and daughter of the Ye family upstairs.


    ¡°Sister Xian! Let¡¯s go for a big meal after this, my treat!¡± Li Qin was wearing a hoodie on his head, and his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian pushed her gold-rimmed glasses into her 10-centimeter high heels and said arrogantly, ¡°Sure, we¡¯ll talk about it after things are settled here.¡±


    Her proud and intelligent look dumbfounded Li Qin. He wanted to shout at her, ¡°Sister, kill me!¡± His sister was wonderful!


    Li Qin glanced at Zhuang Xian. When they were on the second floor, he couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°Sister Xian, you¡¯re too focused on your character! I¡¯m getting goosebumps just by looking at you!¡±

    184 Chapter 184. Biological Father


    Zhuang Xian glared at him and spat out, ¡°Get lost.¡±


    Li Qin grinned cheekily and returned to the room he was in just now. He made an ¡°All the best¡± gesture to Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the door of the private room and let out a sigh of relief. This was the first time she had seen her ¡®Biological father¡¯ since rebirth!


    In her past life, if Ye Xin and Shen Min were the main conspirators of the scheme, then Ye Zheng would be the biggest accomplice. His evil deeds were not inferior to Ye Xin and Shen Min¡¯s.


    When Ye Xin locked up Zhuang Xian in her previous life, she had already lost all hope for Ye Zheng. Now, Ye Zheng was just one of her many enemies.


    When Ya Jing opened the cubicle door for Zhuang Xian, Ye Xin stood up to welcome her. Ye Zheng sat up straight and didn¡¯t stand up.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Ye Zheng indifferently. There wasn¡¯t much of a reaction on her face. She was like a proud and aloof super-writer who didn¡¯t care about the capitalist in front of her.


    When Ye Xin saw Yan An for the first time, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly popped up in her heart, but this feeling disappeared quickly because Ya Jing had already started to introduce her and her father to her.


    ¡°Teacher Yan An, this is CEO Ye, Ye Zheng. This is CEO Ye¡¯s daughter, Miss Ye Xin. Ya Jing said to Zhuang Xian respectfully.


    Ye Xin reacted quickly and took two steps forward, smiling at Yan An. Hello, teacher Yan An. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and listen to our Ye Group¡¯s suggestion and sincerity.


    ¡°Oh? What suggestion?¡± Zhuang Xian put down her exquisite Chanelle handbag, adjusted her glasses, and pretended to be interested.


    Ye Xin, on the other hand, had an extremely high EQ. After faking a deep chuckle, she sat back in her chair and raised her hand, signaling for Zhuang Xian to look at Ye Zheng. ¡°This is my father, the only person in charge of Ye Group. The fact that he¡¯s here to meet with teacher Yan An is enough to show our sincerity. As for the suggestion I¡¯ve mentioned, let my father explain it to teacher Yan An!


    With just a few words, Ye Xin had elevated Ye Zheng¡¯s status, as if they weren¡¯t here to beg Xian Du and Yan An to let them off and show them mercy.


    Zhuang Xian found it funny, but she didn¡¯t expose Ye Xin. Instead, she merely said with a faint smile, ¡°Oh? If you didn¡¯t introduce me like that, I would have thought you were his secretary.¡±


    As she spoke, she glanced at Ya Jing and said, ¡°After all, no one has ever come out to discuss such an important matter. No one has brought anyone else but their daughter! Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange?¡±


    Hearing this, Ya Jing nodded and smiled, her eyes full of ridicule.


    Ye Xin understood the smile in Ya Jing¡¯s eyes. She didn¡¯t dare to offend Yan An, but her proud heart wouldn¡¯t allow a small department head to be so rude to her!


    She smiled and looked at Ya Jing. ¡°Because I¡¯m the only daughter in my family, I often follow my father out to learn about the situation. After all, the entire Ye Group will be mine in the future. How can I not put in some effort? Unlike Ms. Ya Jing, her work is simple, and she doesn¡¯t have to do anything all day to get a salary of a few thousand Yuan. It¡¯s so easy that it makes people envious!¡±


    How could Ya Jing not hear the sarcasm in Ye Xin¡¯s voice?


    However, she didn¡¯t care. In front of Yan An, a mere daughter of the Ye family, wanted to have an advantage verbally. How could that be possible?


    ¡°Yup! Other people earn a salary of a few thousand Yuan with their abilities. They can¡¯t compare to Miss Ye¡¯s good father, who can make money!¡±


    Zhuang Xian squinted her sharp proud eyes and said sarcastically, ¡°However! One could not live by relying on others and living a shallow and narrow life. Reading more and accumulating more, having some inner qualities is the most important thing! So what if she is the only daughter of the Ye family? The world had changed. What if, one day, this prefix suddenly disappeared? Wouldn¡¯t that be blind?¡±


    Ya Jing looked at Ye Xin¡¯s red face and felt very happy. Yan An¡¯s sharp mouth was indeed well-deserved. Not only was she able to scold people, but she could also kill people without them noticing.


    Didn¡¯t Ye Xin think that her status as the only daughter of the Ye family was imposing? Yan An wanted to stab the knife directly into her soft ribs and let her feel pain, panic, and fear!

 Chapter 185 - 185 Chapter 185. Ye Zheng in Person

    185 Chapter 185. Ye Zheng in Person


    Although the Ye family was big, their foundation could not be compared to the Zhuang family. Their strength and influence were also comparable to the Zhuang family.


    Ya Jing couldn¡¯t understand why Ye Xin was so blindly arrogant. Had she been a frog in a well for too long and couldn¡¯t see a bigger future beyond her?


    Ye Xin felt like she was about to be stabbed to death by Yan An¡¯s dull knife. Not only did she mock her for having no natural ability and only knowing how to rely on her family. She teased her for being shallow and narrow-minded, without any inner knowledge, and even threatened her directly in the end!


    No matter how afraid she was of Yan An, Ye Xin couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She was about to stand up and argue with Yan An when she was interrupted by Ye Zheng, who suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Alright, alright! Teacher Yan An, you¡¯re also a senior master in the industry. Why would you argue with a little girl? We should make money in peace.¡± Ye Zheng had been observing Yan An the whole time. When he saw that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly stopped Ye Xin from further fanning the flames. They still had a critical mission today!


    As he spoke, he turned his head and looked sternly at Ye Xin, indicating that she should not cause any more trouble and offend Yan An. The success or failure of today¡¯s business depends on Yan An¡¯s attitude.


    ¡°I can see that you¡¯re very interested in our suggestion, teacher Yan An. Then, I¡¯ll cut to the chase! As Ye Zheng spoke, he suddenly took a folder from his bag and handed it to Masaharu beside her.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure teacher Yan An knows that the competition between our Ye Group and Ming En has always been very fierce. Ming En is a rising star in our field. His foundation is weak, and he¡¯s not worthy of being our leader! I think we had a slight misunderstanding before. The reason why Xian Du spoke up for Ming En last time was that they deceived her!


    This document contains the truth that I¡¯ve investigated with great effort. Ming En is a parasite in the industry that has done all sorts of nasty things. They¡¯ve deceived countless consumers and even used unscrupulous means to attack their peers in the industry! I know that Xian Du has always pursued the most truthful news. I admire your courage in speaking the truth. Since Ming En is unbearable, why don¡¯t we work together to overthrow his hypocrisy? This is for the good of City H¡¯s economy and business circle; it¡¯s the best act of righteousness!¡±


    Ye Zheng spoke passionately. If Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know what kind of person he was, she might have been bewitched by his sophistry and lies.


    Zhuang Xian flipped through the folder Ye Zheng handed over and was shocked. She did not expect Ye Zheng to put in so much effort to destroy Ming En. This was no longer straightforward business jealousy and internal strife but a real black-hearted and ruthless person. He wanted to kill her parents!


    Fortunately, she had the foresight to come and intercept this vicious plan halfway.


    Ye Zheng saw that Yan An¡¯s hand stopped and pretended to laugh. ¡°Of course, I will not deny my selfishness! I want to use Xian Du¡¯s hand to advance the Ye Group.¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and flattered Ye Zheng at the right time. ¡°CEO Ye, you¡¯re a straightforward person. You¡¯re an open person.¡±


    ¡°Hahahaha ¡­¡± Ye Zheng laughed loudly when he heard that. ¡°Yan An, you¡¯re also a temperamental person. Look at the back of the plan.¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t comment and calmly flipped to the end. When she saw the huge ¡®Remuneration¡¯ that the Ye Group would give her, she was slightly surprised. Ye Zheng was so generous, but he was also planning well!


    ¡°I, Ye, have never mistreated my companions! On this matter, as long as teacher Yan An agrees, we will immediately sign the contract! We¡¯ll also pay you the remuneration, so don¡¯t worry!¡± Ye Zheng said, pretending to be straightforward.


    Zhuang Xian chuckled as she looked at him with a slightly curious expression.


    She had to admit that Ye Zheng¡¯s plan was well thought out. If it wasn¡¯t her who came today but someone else from Xian Du, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to resist this considerable temptation.


    What remuneration? It was just a bribe to seal her mouth and pen!


    What is win-win cooperation? He just wanted to pull her into the Group and use her influence and background to attack Ming En and boost the Ye Group!


    This was a brilliant plan!


    Don¡¯t be fooled by Ye Zheng¡¯s benevolence, righteousness, morality, and righteousness words. In reality, he was just a scum who was good at covering up his greed and schemes! He even thought he was brilliant and that others couldn¡¯t see through his various tricks and evil thoughts.

 Chapter 186 - 186 Chapter 186. The Details That Were Omitted

    186 Chapter 186. The Details That Were Omitted


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s sharp mind quickly analyzed Ye Zheng¡¯s plan. After she figured it out, her strong and fearless heart began to suppress her boundless anger!


    She should have known they did not covet Ming En Group because they wanted to. They had long had plans to destroy and annex Ming En.


    It wasn¡¯t because of the sudden appearance of her biological daughter that he had those evil thoughts. In her past life, her identity as the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter was just one of the methods they used to plot against Ming En.


    To think that she was so thrilled that she had found her final home. Everything was just her delusion!


    It wasn¡¯t even because of her that the Ye Group had the wild ambition to swallow up Ming En. In the eyes of the ye family, she was never crucial from the beginning to the end. She was just a cheap weapon that they desperately put their lives on the line to stab into the hearts of those who cared about her!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was so cold that it hurt. She had exposed an essential detail that she had been neglecting before. The Ye Group had never acted according to the situation. They had long been plotting.


    As early as the first time the Ye family took the initiative to attack Ming En, she should have understood that all this happened not because of her alone.


    ¡°What does teacher Yan An think?¡± Seeing that Zhuang Xian had remained silent and did not answer his question, Ye Zheng anxiously tried to probe.


    Zhuang Xian tidied up her complicated feelings and looked at Ye Zheng coldly. She threw the folder in her hand on the table and said in a calm but slightly cold tone, ¡°Since Chairman Ye is so sincere, I¡¯ll be direct.¡±


    ¡°Yan An.¡± Ye Zheng raised his hand and smiled faintly. ¡°Teacher Yan An, you can speak.¡±


    ¡°Chairman Ye, do you think that you can bribe the entire Xian Du club to support you with this little money and a letter full of loopholes? Aren¡¯t you underestimating the delicacy of the body too much? You say you appreciate the company¡¯s culture but don¡¯t seem to understand it at all.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she gently pushed up her glasses.


    Ye Zheng only felt that Yan An¡¯s eyes behind his glasses were like they had been filled with poison that could seal one¡¯s throat at the sight of blood. After he was targeted, his body started to turn cold.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always believed that we speak the truth, but that must be the real truth and not just a one-sided statement. Do you understand? Your words were indeed impassioned, and your slogan was also loud, but what was it? What can we, Xian Du, get? Just based on your little bit of hush money?¡± Zhuang Xian leaned closer to the table and asked Ye Zheng seriously.


    Her questions dumbfounded Ye Zheng. He stared at Zhuang Xian coldly and was about to explain when Zhuang Xian interrupted him again.


    ¡°Chairman Ye, do you think that our brand is so cheap? How do you dare to negotiate with me with just this little money and your empty words and promises?¡± Zhuang Xian added, unable to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.


    ¡°Yan An? ¡± Ye Zheng furrowed his brows and said coldly, ¡°So teacher Yan An means there¡¯s no room for discussion?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him calmly and did not say anything. She even poured herself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it.


    Ye Xin had been observing this so-called teacher Yan An. She found Yan An very strange. Yan An did have the pride and arrogance of a scholar, but at the same time, there was also a lot of uncultured greed and ambition.


    Yan An was not a simple person. In her eyes, her father¡¯s efforts to win her over might be worthless, and what she wanted might be even more fantastic!


    Therefore, it was not that there was no room for negotiation in this business deal but that the negotiation method should be changed.


    Ye Xin seemed to have understood something. She looked at Yan An and smiled, ¡°Yup! Teacher Yan An is right; if the golden signboard could be sold at such a low price, how could it be our turn to sit here and discuss the big plan with teacher Yan An?¡±


    Masaharu smiled as if she had finally heard what she wanted and said, ¡°Since we¡¯ve already said this much, I¡¯ll get straight to the point with CEO Ye! It¡¯s not the first time we¡¯ve encountered such a request from you, Chairman Ye!¡±

 Chapter 187 - 187 Chapter 187. Self

    187 Chapter 187. Self-righteous


    Ye Zheng looked at Masaharu, who was speaking, and there was a faint doubt in his eyes.


    ¡°They can even offer better conditions than you, Chairman Ye, ¡± Ya Jing continued with a smile. ¡°But we¡¯ve never agreed to work with them. Do you know why?


    That¡¯s because the things we¡¯ve been protecting are far more precious than those.¡± Masaharu didn¡¯t wait for Ye Zheng¡¯s reply and answered her question.


    Ye Xin squinted her beautiful eyes and said confidently, ¡°The world is bustling with people for profit. Its current reputation and influence make it worthy of a better price!¡±


    Ya Jing looked at Ye Xin and snapped her fingers with a smile as if she didn¡¯t care about the argument they had just had.


    Ya Jing¡¯s tone changed. ¡°Of course, we can¡¯t deny that the rarer and more valuable an item is, in the end, to sell for a good price! We¡¯ve always been interested in expanding our business territory, and we¡¯ve always been interested in the things your company does!¡±


    The negotiations had reached this stage and already exceeded Ye Zheng and Ye Xin¡¯s expectations. They had not expected that Xian Du newspaper and Yan An would have such great vision and ambitions!


    However, on second thought, it was confirmed that Xian Du newspaper was already one of the top news companies in the country. It would be difficult for them to make any breakthroughs in developing the entire news industry. It was indeed reasonable for them to want to expand into other fields.


    ¡°So, what do you all mean?¡± Ye Zheng was silent for a moment. He raised his head and met Ye Xin¡¯s eyes before slowly speaking.


    He could see the same excitement in Ye Xin¡¯s eyes. From what Ya Jing had said, Xian Du should be a friend of the Ye Group! What Ya Jing expressed was probably Yan An¡¯s intention. They wanted to cooperate with the Ye Group in some fields.


    Zhuang Xian saw that Ya Jing had helped her to set the atmosphere. She smiled and put down her crossed legs. In a gentle tone, she said, ¡°Although we can¡¯t fake the news for the Ye Group, we would like to cooperate with them in some fields.¡±


    Ye Zheng was slightly taken aback, not entirely understanding what Yan An meant. Since they were not willing to work with the Ye group to destroy Ming En Corporation, why did they say they wanted to cooperate with the Ye Group in a field? Wasn¡¯t this self-contradictory? What did Yan An desire to do?


    Ye Zheng¡¯s brain hadn¡¯t processed everything yet, but Ye Xin understood the twists and turns. She had a plan in her heart and glanced at Ye Zheng calmly and confidently before turning to Yan An, saying, ¡°We¡¯re naturally more than happy to have a business partnership with Xian Du. But teacher Yan An, can you represent all of us to talk about this?¡±


    There was a very kind smile on Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful red lips. Her pair of eyes, which were covered by glasses, hid many dark things.


    Ye Xin seemed as arrogant as ever in these two lives. The bright Ye Xin thought she had her and Xian Du under control and was probably secretly plotting how to make good use of Yan An!


    Zhuang Xian and Ye Xin were worthy of being rivals for two lifetimes. Zhuang Xian¡¯s understanding of Ye Xin had probably surpassed Ye Xin¡¯s. She had indeed guessed Ye Xin¡¯s thoughts and had planned every step of the trap. She was waiting for the self-righteous Ye Xin to step into it on her own accord, along with a Ye Zheng who couldn¡¯t keep up with their rhythm.


    Ya Jing chuckled lightly, drawing Ye Xin and Ye Zheng¡¯s attention to herself. ¡°It¡¯s about time I reintroduce you to President Ye and Miss Ye.¡±


    As she spoke, she turned to Zhuang Xian and said respectfully, ¡°Teacher Yan An is not only the golden pen head of Xian Du but also one of the important partners of our Xian Du Economic Times! In other words, teacher Yan An is one of the Xian Du newspaper office bosses. Miss Ye, do you think our teacher Yan An has the right to discuss cooperation with you now?¡±


    Ya Jing¡¯s words jolted Ye Zheng and Ye Xin awake. They had never expected that the scholarly and elite Yan An in front of them was one of the partners of Xian Du publishing company! Heavens! This woman was too terrifying!


    Ye Xin looked at Yan An in surprise. If Yan An was the boss of the leading newspaper industry, how rich was she? It was no wonder she had scoffed when her father offered to give her a large sum of money. It turned out that she didn¡¯t care about her father¡¯s little money!

 Chapter 188 - 188 Chapter 188. Partners

    188 Chapter 188. Partners


    It was no wonder Yan An had such grand ambitions and wanted to work with the entire Ye Group.


    Ye Xin thought she had figured out what was going on, so she pretended to be surprised as she looked at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°So, teacher Yan An has such a grand identity? I was being rude earlier! We¡¯re also very honored to receive Xian Du¡¯s favor. Teacher Yan An, if you have any detailed plans for the next step, you can tell me. Our Ye Corporation welcomes you to join us.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ye Xin and gave a satisfied smile. ¡°I like dealing with smart people like Miss Ye. It saves me time and energy.¡±


    Ye Xin smiled as if she had gained some confidence. She felt that as long as she could stabilize Yan An and confirm the intention of cooperation between Xian Du and Ye Group, she wouldn¡¯t have to worry about anything else.


    The Ye Group¡¯s public opinion crisis had been solved, and they had gained a significant ally. It was a wonderful thing to kill two birds with one stone!


    The argument between the two of them earlier led Ye Xin to think that today¡¯s meeting would be fruitless. Who would¡¯ve thought that things would take such a drastic turn? It was as if everything had been laid out for the Ye Group and was following their hearts.


    Seeing that the situation was going well, Ya Jing calmly took a cooperation proposal from her bag and handed it to Ye Xin. She smiled, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Miss Ye to be such a straightforward and wise person! Today I only brought a draft letter of intent for cooperation; the content is still quite rough; you can take a look first! It just so happens that teacher Yan An and CEO Ye are both here today. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything we need to add or discuss so we can communicate directly!¡±


    Ye Xin was taken aback when she heard this, but she quickly recovered. She glanced at Ye Zheng with a faint smile and pretended to be calm as she received the letter of intent and placed it in front of her.


    Ye Zheng was an experienced businessman who had been in the business world for many years. He felt that something was wrong. Things were developing too quickly and too smoothly. It was somewhat inconsistent with the ordinary business intentions of reaching an agreement.


    Ye Zheng laughed and said, ¡°Teacher Yan An is a forthright person, but it¡¯s best for us to work slowly to avoid unnecessary losses and misunderstandings in the future. We feel that we still need to return the letter of intent you submitted to Ye Corporation and ask for the opinion of our board of Directors. After all, this is not a small matter; we still need to be careful and follow the rules. Don¡¯t you think so, teacher Yan An?¡±


    Ye Xin glanced at her father from the corner of her eye. She didn¡¯t understand his response and disagreed with his submission. This was clearly a matter of great benefit and no harm to them. She didn¡¯t understand why her father was so cautious.


    However, looking at the enigmatic Yan An, she still had some precautions in her heart, so she chose to remain silent.


    Of course, Zhuang Xian knew that her goal would not be achieved so easily. Ye Zheng was not brilliant, but he had a lot of business experience. She couldn¡¯t gain his trust in a short time. Zhuang Xian was not in a hurry. She would take it slow.


    Anyway, there was still a long way to go. As long as they invaded Ye Group¡¯s business map, they would not have to worry about not having a chance to deal with them in the future. Only by casting a long line could one catch a big fish.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing bad about it! It¡¯s normal for CEO Ye to be cautious and worried. It¡¯s okay; we¡¯ll wait for the Ye Group¡¯s news.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at her watch and asked Ya Jing, ¡°What time will our meeting with Haotian be? It¡¯s not good to be late!¡±


    Ya Jing understood and respectfully said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°It¡¯s still early teacher Yan An. You don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯ve already arranged everything. We won¡¯t be late!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and smiled at Ye Zheng. ¡°Okay, I had a great time talking to you today. Since we¡¯re done here, let¡¯s go our separate ways! After all, everyone¡¯s time is precious.¡±


    Ye Zheng nodded his head stiffly. ¡°Yes, teacher Yan An¡¯s time is naturally precious. We have to go back too.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian stood up and picked up her bag with her right hand. She smiled and said, ¡°By the way, it¡¯s best if you give us an answer as soon as possible.¡±


    After Zhuang Xian stood up, Ye Zheng quickly stood up as well. He even took a few steps forward toward Zhuang Xian. Just as he was about to shake her hand and bid her farewell, he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s ¡®caring¡¯ reminder.

 Chapter 189 - 189 Chapter 189. Father And Daughter

    189 Chapter 189. Father And Daughter


    Ye Zheng¡¯s raised hand paused before slowly replying, ¡°Okay. We¡¯ll give you an answer as soon as possible.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded. She didn¡¯t even look at Ye Zheng¡¯s embarrassed hand as she turned around and left.


    Ya Jing was still very concerned about the feelings and faces of her future partners. She raised her hand and shook Ye Zheng¡¯s hand, politely saying, ¡°Then we¡¯ll take our leave first.¡±


    Ye Zheng nodded slightly, but his eyes looked in the direction Zhuang Xian had left. Her back view swayed gently and was so beautiful that it pleased the eye!


    Yan An looked like a proud and charming, beautiful writer. She was rich, so she didn¡¯t show any of her scholarly temperament. She should be particular about how she deals with people and do as she pleases.


    So, his shirking words just now should have made her a little unhappy! Ye Zheng furrowed his brows deeply as he thought about this.


    ¡°Dad! We¡¯re already at this stage; there¡¯s no need to care about the procedures. The most important thing right now is to eliminate Xian Du¡¯s constant attacks on us!¡± Ye Xin only spoke to Ye Zheng after Zhuang Xian and Ya Jing had disappeared entirely.


    Ye Zheng furrowed his brows and turned to look at her. He said coldly, ¡°What do you know? The more urgent the situation is, the more cautious we should be to avoid falling into the enemy¡¯s trap!¡±


    ¡°I understand what you¡¯re saying! But look at Yan An, such a weird and proud person; how could the opponent send her to confuse us? That¡¯s too much!¡± Ye Xin felt that her father¡¯s way of doing business was too conservative. With this personality, he would never be successful in the business world.


    Ye Zheng lowered his brows and thought about it seriously. What Ye Xin said wasn¡¯t without reason. Thinking back to Yan An¡¯s various reactions just now, there was indeed nothing suspicious.


    She scoffed at her means of temptation and wasn¡¯t afraid of offending them. She helped her partner and directly rebuked Ye Xin. Fortunately, he came to her rescue in time. Otherwise, Yan An would¡¯ve left on the spot!


    From what they said before they left, it seemed that they were not the only target of this cooperation. The Chen family¡¯s Haotian group was also one of their targets!


    Ye Xin had thought of this as well. She furrowed her brows and said irritatedly, ¡°They even asked Haotian¡¯s people. Are they trying to compare goods? We can¡¯t miss this opportunity, Dad! We don¡¯t have a better choice.¡±


    Ye Zheng picked up his briefcase and the letter of intent that Ye Xin had placed in front of him earlier. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this here. Let¡¯s go back to the company first! As for Haotian, we¡¯ll find out what they¡¯re up to after we ask someone we know!¡±


    Ye Xin had no choice but to agree to Ye Zheng¡¯s suggestion for the time being. However, this matter couldn¡¯t be delayed. She still wanted to work with Xian Du as soon as possible.


    While the father and daughter of the Ye family were still nervously guessing Yan An¡¯s true intentions and style of doing things, in the black Maybach luxury car outside the door of the teahouse, Li Qin was already looking at his sister Xian. His eyes had begun to shine, and the admiration in his eyes could not be hidden.


    ¡°Sister Xian, you¡¯re amazing! You¡¯re my god forever! With such superb acting skills, it would be a loss for the entire entertainment industry if you didn¡¯t act! That best actress is called Ma; her acting skills can¡¯t even compare to yours. If you were to enter the entertainment industry, you wouldn¡¯t even have to deal with those ordinary women!¡±


    ¡®Imperial envoy¡¯ Li was about to rush up and hug Zhuang Xian, but Zhuang Xian pressed a hand to his face and pushed him back to his seat.


    Ya Jing sat in the front passenger seat and laughed as she listened to Li Qin¡¯s teasing and flattery. ¡°Yeah! Li Qin, you don¡¯t know, but sister Xian¡¯s reaction and counterattack just now made my heart race! Sister Xian¡¯s initial disparaging of Ye Zheng scared me out of my wits. I was afraid that Ye Zheng would turn hostile and leave. Yet, Ye Xin acted smart and spoke up for us. I¡¯m dying of laughter.¡±


    As she spoke, she excitedly turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who was removing her makeup. She asked respectfully, ¡°Sister Xian, weren¡¯t you afraid that the father and daughter of the Ye family wouldn¡¯t fall for our trap? ¡±


    As Zhuang Xian removed her makeup, she did not forget to answer Ya Jing¡¯s question.

 Chapter 190 - 190 Chapter 190. Sister Xian is Magnanimous

    190 Chapter 190. Sister Xian is Magnanimous


    ¡°The father and daughter of the Ye family are at the end of their rope,¡± Zhuang Xian said in a deep voice. ¡°They have no other choice but to agree with us. Ye Xin thinks she¡¯s smart and can read our minds, but she doesn¡¯t know that there¡¯s always someone better than her. This is good; I don¡¯t have to think of a way to deal with her! On the other hand, that old fox Ye Zheng isn¡¯t easy to fool.¡±


    As she spoke, she glanced at Ya Jing and ordered, ¡°To prevent Ye Zheng from investigating us, go and arrange for a few groups of people to visit different companies these few days. I don¡¯t believe they can sit still! As long as the cooperation agreement is signed, the Ye Group will be controlled by me bit by bit.¡±


    When Masaharu heard this, she lowered her head and replied respectfully, ¡°Yes!¡± Sister Xian.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded. In the middle of their conversation, she had already removed the heavy makeup on her face. Along with her, the sharp and exquisite gold medal commentator from the negotiation meeting just now, Yan An, also disappeared.


    Li Qin knew that Zhuang Xian had a lot of excellent skills. As he watched her remove her makeup, he felt as if she was performing a transformation.


    Yan An and Zhuang Xian were two completely different people, but when Zhuang Xian played Yan An, it was as natural as a fish returning to the water. That was why he said Zhuang Xian was a movie queen!


    Zhuang Xian threw away the makeup remover cotton in her hand and did not care about Li Qin¡¯s starry eyes. She leaned back and said softly to Ya Jing, who was in the front seat, ¡°Your cooperation with me just now was also excellent. I¡¯ll send you a big red packet when we get back. You and Li Qin will keep an eye on this matter.¡±


    When Ya Jing heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s praise, she was so happy that she almost flew off the ground. Mainly when she listened to the last sentence, she was bursting with joy. There was nothing more delightful than a red packet.


    ¡°Thank you, sister Xian! Sister Xian is magnanimous! I understand, don¡¯t worry, sister Xian!¡± Ya Jing, who had received the red packet, was as happy as a child. She quickly expressed her love to her boss.


    When Li Qin heard this, he unhappily muttered, ¡°Sister Xian, did you forget someone when you gave out the red packets? I¡¯ve also helped a lot today, okay? I even reposted the surveillance footage and recorded your conversation. Why didn¡¯t I get a share of the red packet? I¡¯m not happy!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him helplessly, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she said a little naughtily, ¡°Alright! You can only choose between a red packet and a big meal, so you choose!¡±


    Li Qin pretended to glare at her and said with a slightly aggrieved tone, ¡°Only kids make choices. I want all of them!¡±


    As he spoke, he tugged at Zhuang Xian¡¯s sleeve and said coquettishly, ¡°Will you sister Xian? Alright, sister Xian! I know you¡¯re the best!¡±


    Zhuang Xian could feel the veins on her forehead popping out. She turned her head and said coldly, ¡°You¡¯d better speak properly. Please don¡¯t force me to beat you up! How old are you? Still acting coquettishly. If the old man knows about this, he¡¯ll beat you until your skin explodes!¡±


    ¡°Sister Xian is just trying to scare me. How could you beat up such a cute me? The old man likes it when I act coquettishly to him; you know that!¡± Li Qin retorted in an unconvinced manner.


    Zhuang Xian was speechless. She didn¡¯t want to talk to this shameless person.


    Ya Jing sat at the front with a helpless expression on her face. She was amused as she listened to the two of them joke around. On the surface, Zhuang Xian and Li Qin seemed to have a superior-subordinate relationship. Still, only the internal staff knew that Zhuang Xian treated Li Qin as a friend or a younger brother.


    Li Qin was old man Li¡¯s man, so he was naturally close to Zhuang Xian.


    Since the old man was mentioned, Li Qin also remembered his grandfather¡¯s instructions. He sighed and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t scam you of red packets. It¡¯ll be fine if you treat me to a meal. Grandpa said he hadn¡¯t seen you for a long time and wanted to see you. I booked a table at the restaurant, but you have to pay for it! Let¡¯s video call him when we eat later; he misses you!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian thought of that cute old man. It seemed that she had not seen him for a long time. She nodded in agreement and said, ¡°Sure,¡±


    When Li Qin saw that Zhuang Xian had agreed, he chuckled and took out his phone to play. They had already spent too much time at Yimen Teahouse, and it was past lunchtime. He was indeed feeling a little hungry!


    As Ya Jing listened to their conversation, she thought for a while and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Sister Xian! I¡¯m not going to accompany you to dinner; pull over and let me get out!¡±

 Chapter 191 - 191 Chapter 191. Old Child

    191 Chapter 191. Old Child


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ya Jing and said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go together. You haven¡¯t had lunch either, right?¡±


    As Ya Jing looked at the beautiful and kind Zhuang Xian, she felt that it was a great fortune for her to be able to work for such a boss. Whose boss was so kind and understanding?


    Not only would she give red packets to her subordinates, but she would also treat them to a super hard-to-get meal at a restaurant! How could she not love her?


    Thinking of this, Ya Jing clenched her fists tightly as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She must treat her boss well and go through mountains of knives and seas of fire for her boss. ¡°To prevent Ye Zheng from launching a surprise attack on Haotian Group, I¡¯d better arrange for someone to go there as soon as possible. I don¡¯t want him to see through us. I¡¯m fine, sister Xian. Let me go!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ya Jing¡¯s extremely excited expression and nodded in a daze. She said in confusion, ¡°Okay, go ahead. Remember to eat.¡±


    The Maybach quickly stopped at the side of the road. The sudden stop of the luxury car attracted a lot of attention. This car was not cheap!


    ¡°Yes! Sister Xian! I love you, sister Xian!¡± Ya Jing pushed the car door open and did not forget to express her love for Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian, ¡°Absolutely.¡±


    It¡¯s over. The gentle and capable Ya Jing seemed to have been infected by something strange! As Zhuang Xian thought about this, she suddenly turned to look at Li Qin. She nodded her head slightly, thinking that she had found the reason.


    Li Qin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He turned to look at her. ¡°Sister Xian, why are you looking at me so strangely? ¡±


    Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze and said, ¡°I suspect Ya Jing has been with you for a long time and has been led astray by you.¡±


    Li Qin was speechless as he looked at her with hidden bitterness. He put away his grievances and unwillingness when they arrived at the restaurant and saw the sumptuous food on the table.


    ¡°You can eat first. I¡¯ll give the old master a call.¡± Zhuang Xian sat down beside Li Qin and said to him softly.


    Li Qin¡¯s eyes were fixed on the delicious food in front of him. He nodded his head. ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhuang Xian immediately made a video call to Elder Li. Two seconds later, the video call was connected. It was as if the other party had been waiting for her.


    When Zhuang Xian saw the old man in the video call, she couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Why did you pick up so quickly? ¡± Have you been waiting for my call?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! You also know that Grandpa has been waiting for your call, right? You heartless little thing, you didn¡¯t even say that you would find time to come back and visit me, but instead made me wait for your call. Are you that busy? You¡¯re so busy that you don¡¯t even have time to make a phone call?¡± Old master Li Zhen looked at the pretty Zhuang Xian in the video and started to condemn her angrily!


    Zhuang Xian was already familiar with these kinds of rebuking and aggrieved words. It was very similar to Master Yan Zhou¡¯s tone.


    Zhuang Xian smiled obediently at old Master Li and said gently, ¡°Alright, you know I¡¯ve recently been busy with other things. Can you stop acting like a spoiled child?¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s acting spoiled? I didn¡¯t! You stinky girl, no one has ever dared to speak to me in such a disrespectful manner before; only you dare!¡± When Li Zhen heard this, his voice rose to the sky.


    Seeing that the old man and Zhuang Xian were quarreling again, Li Qin took a sip of his soup and helplessly interrupted, ¡°That¡¯s enough, you two! When they didn¡¯t see each other, they still missed each other, but now that they saw each other, they started fighting! ¡°How old are you? Aren¡¯t you childish?¡±


    Li Qin was focused on ridiculing these two people, and in a moment of carelessness, he spoke the words in his heart.


    They immediately stopped bickering when Zhuang Xian and Li Zhen heard Li Qin¡¯s words. Zhuang Xian tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at him, but she didn¡¯t say anything.


    Li Qin saw that the situation was not good and added guiltily, ¡°Am I wrong? Grandfather is an old child, and it¡¯s fine if he¡¯s mischievous, but sister Xian, you fought with him. If you two aren¡¯t childish, what are you?¡±


    There was nothing wrong with Li Qin¡¯s retorts. Li Zhen and Zhuang Xian¡¯s relationship was like that of a pair of quarrelsome lovers. One did not respect the elderly, while the other did not care for the young. However, they had formed an excellent relationship that complemented each other.


    Li Zhen had a high position and power. He had lived a life of luxury and wealth, but he had never had a particular case like Zhuang Xian by his side.


    Zhuang Xian was not afraid of him. She only respected him in her heart. Usually, she acted as if she was close to Li Zhen and got along with him. The two of them were like real grandfather and grandchild!

 Chapter 192 - 192 Chapter 192. A New Plan

    192 Chapter 192. A New Plan


    Li Zhen was half a teacher to Zhuang Xian. He could be considered half a boxing master.


    Old man Li Zhen was a retired officer of the special-class combat force of country Z¡¯s Army. Even though he was already almost 70 years old, he still held great power in his hands. He was the big Shot who could shake the entire military with a single word!


    ¡°I think you, stinky brat, can climb the roof and tear down the tiles if you don¡¯t fight for three days! I¡¯m your grandfather. Is it appropriate for you to talk to me like this?¡± Li Zhen didn¡¯t care if he was on the phone or not. Hearing Li Qin¡¯s disrespectful words, he immediately cursed.


    Li Qin gestured for Zhuang Xian to move the camera away. He didn¡¯t want to listen to his grandfather¡¯s nagging.


    Of course, Zhuang Xian would not be angry with Li Qin. She had only done that to make the old man happy.


    The old man had bathed in blood on the battlefield for decades. He had outstanding military achievements and great power. He seemed to have returned to his original state when he grew old. He liked to hang out with the younger generation more and more.


    In his own words, he felt that he was younger and more energetic by spending more time with the young people.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her grandfather, who was still fuming in the video call, and a weak smile suddenly appeared on her face. She coaxed him, ¡°Alright, Grandpa, it¡¯s not easy for us to have a video call. Let¡¯s stop quarreling, okay? What have you been busy with recently?¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he restrained some of his emotions and snorted softly before saying, ¡°Who¡¯s quarreling with you two? I¡¯m teaching you a lesson!¡±


    ¡°Good, good, good! We know we were wrong, Grandpa. Please be magnanimous and let us off this time!¡± Zhuang Xian said, pretending to be obedient.


    She had to go along with the old man when talking to him. It was fun to tease her grandfather, but she had to be careful.


    Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s obedient and ingratiating expression, and the smile on his face was almost impossible to hide. Why would he be angry at Zhuang Xian and his grandson? He couldn¡¯t wait to dote on these two precious things.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t done much recently. By the way, Xiao Xian ¡®er, I heard from Li Qin that you¡¯re preparing to go to Saint Capital University, right?¡± As Li Zhen answered Zhuang Xian¡¯s question, he suddenly remembered something important and quickly asked.


    Zhuang Xian nodded. ¡°Yes, grandfather. We¡¯ll start reporting to Saint Capital University in three days.¡±


    Li Zhen was shocked and surprised, ¡°You¡¯re going to school? You have many graduation certificates from famous universities in your hands; isn¡¯t that enough? What¡¯s so special about this University that you¡¯re insistent on going?¡±


    Zhuang Xian exhaled slightly and said to Li Zhen with certainty, ¡°I¡¯m going; I must go. The Saint Capital is nothing special to me. What attracts me are the people inside!¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s cold expression, Li Zhen could already guess this had something to do with her blood feud.


    He sighed slightly and worriedly; Zhuang Xian was a child with many ideas and plans. From how she entered the Zhuang family to be their adopted daughter, it could be seen that Zhuang Xian had already made up her mind to leave. No one could stop her.


    Li Zhen looked up at Zhuang Xian on the phone. After silence, he said gently, ¡°Remember grandpa¡¯s words. If you need help, you must look for Grandpa immediately, understand?¡±


    The coldness in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes had just flashed by. She smiled faintly at Li Zhen and said, ¡°I know; you¡¯ve already emphasized it countless times! However, there¡¯s something that I need you to do right now.¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he was indeed interested. He asked happily, ¡°Hurry up and tell me. I can help you!¡±


    ¡°This matter is straightforward. Saint Capital University has always had very high physical requirements for first-year students, and the first-year students¡¯ military training has always been the most important thing in the past years. Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we give them a hand?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she smiled and leaned back in her chair, finding a comfortable position. She continued, ¡°Grandpa, I need you to inform the Principal of the University that you¡¯ll be in charge of the military training for the new students. Of course, you don¡¯t have to come personally. Just one of your adjutants will be enough to cover for two days!¡±


    Li Zhen didn¡¯t quite understand what Zhuang Xian meant by this. With her excellent physical condition, any level of military training was child¡¯s play! Therefore, Zhuang Xian did not want to train herself. She had other motives!

 Chapter 193 - 193 Chapter 193. Grandpas Great Help

    193 Chapter 193. Grandpa¡¯s Great Help


    Li Zhen couldn¡¯t understand, so he said bluntly, ¡°The things you¡¯ve said are all small matters when arranged. What I don¡¯t understand is what you¡¯re trying to do.


    Zhuang Xian laughed and explained, ¡°I want to give my enemies a little bit of pressure when school starts! Since you¡¯ve already agreed, I¡¯ll thank you in advance!¡±


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s obedient and gentle smile, deep in her eyes, there was a look of mischief. Li Zhen shook his head helplessly and smiled. He pretended to scold her. ¡°Stinky girl, you¡¯re the only one who can make me happy! When I ask you anything, you stammer and refuse to explain clearly!¡±


    Li Zhen suddenly thought of something. ¡°That¡¯s right! Why don¡¯t you let Li Qin go with you to Saint Capital University to gain some experience? He¡¯s always hiding in the house alone and doing all those messy things. I¡¯m annoyed by him! Let him be with you. His martial arts are not bad, so if anything happens in the future, you two can take care of each other!¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°Grandpa! I¡¯m already one of the top three hackers in the world. Why do you still think that I¡¯m a person who does all sorts of nonsense? Why do you have double standards!¡±


    ¡°Tell me, are you willing to go with your sister Xian?¡± Li Zhen raised his sharp eyebrows and said in a calm voice.


    Li Qin¡¯s heart choked. A few seconds later, he resignedly replied, ¡°I want to. I want to be with sister Xian.


    Li Zhen smiled with confidence. ¡°Then isn¡¯t it settled? ¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at this pair of grandfather and grandson bickering and shook her head helplessly. She thought it was good to have Li Qin by her side to help her out. He would be an excellent assistant!


    If anyone else knew of Zhuang Xian¡¯s current thoughts, they would probably be so shocked that their teeth would fall out. What kind of person was Li Qin? He was the youngest grandson of Li Zhen, the big shot in the military and political world. He was the young master of the Li family! However, Zhuang Xian only wanted him to be her assistant!


    He did not know if he should ridicule Zhuang Xian¡¯s impudence. It was time to complain about old man Li Zhen¡¯s free-range policy.


    Li Zhen had always felt that Zhuang Xian was an outstanding and different child. He had placed Li Qin by Zhuang Xian¡¯s side, hoping that Li Qin could learn more from her.


    He also liked Zhuang Xian a lot, so this was killing two birds with one stone. Not only could she influence Li Qin, but he could also take the opportunity to get an outstanding talent like Zhuang Xian to his side.


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s decided then. Three days later, Li Qin will come with me to report to the Saint Capital, but you must hide your identity. Zhuang Xian nodded slightly and said warmly.


    Zhuang Xian did not expect that after a meal, she would gain a little follower who would follow her around from now on.


    Li Qin patted his round stomach and turned to look at Zhuang Xian.


    He was only a few months younger than Zhuang Xian, but he was already half a head taller than her. He was carrying a cool laptop bag, and his youthful and energetic look attracted the attention of many passers-by. Coupled with the equally beautiful Zhuang Xian, he looked like an eye-catching teen drama idol.


    He asked Zhuang Xian, ¡°Sister Xian, where are you going next? I¡¯ll give you a ride!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°Alright, take me to the vast sea villa area. I have something to do there.


    Li Qin nodded and opened the back door for Zhuang Xian.


    They looked very intimate when they spoke from a distance, and their postures were very close. They were so well-matched that they looked like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.


    Xiang Nan leaned on the car window, staring straight toward Zhuang Xian and Li Qin. He wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture and send it to Mo Qian, but Zhuang Xian got into the car very quickly, so he couldn¡¯t capture it. He could only take a few photos of the Maybach¡¯s side profile and the car¡¯s license plate.


    He pulled at the photo on his phone, trying to zoom in on the face of the boy next to Zhuang Xian, but he realized that he had missed it and couldn¡¯t see it.


    Regretfully, he muttered to himself, ¡°I thought I could get a shot of the face and get a reward from brother Qian! Sigh, I was too careless! However, brother Qian¡¯s methods of wooing people were not good. It had been so long, and he still let fourth Miss out on a date with other boys? I can¡¯t understand old brother Qian¡¯s too. He can¡¯t compete with the young hunks!¡±


    As he spoke, he sent the photo to Mo Qian and his own interpretation of the gossip.


    If Mo Qian were to find out about his disparaging remarks, he would probably smash his little head into pieces! He only dared to be bold because Mo Qian¡¯s temper had recently improved!

 Chapter 194 - 194 Chapter 194. Tattletale Again

    194 Chapter 194. Tattletale Again


    In the past, Xiang Nan was just a mascot who only dared to act cute and muddle-headed, a mascot specially used to make Mo Qian happy.


    Of course, Mo Qian had received the information from his good friend. He looked at the picture on his phone and didn¡¯t care about Xiang Nan¡¯s random analysis and gossip.


    He thought this was what Zhuang Xian had said about Madam Zhuang¡¯s ¡®business¡¯ with her.


    It is evident that Zhuang Xian did not want to have lunch with him, so she just made an excuse to brush him off. Ultimately, she went to a restaurant to have lunch with another man!


    Mo Qian felt an inexplicable sense of anger in his heart. When he returned to his senses, he thought he had been getting jealous for some reason recently. First, it was the man at the auction. Now, it was another young and handsome man. Zhuang Xian was good at attracting men!


    Mo Qian had made up his mind. He felt he could no longer pursue Zhuang Xian like a frog boiled in warm water. He had to use potent drugs on Zhuang Xian and force her to react positively.


    Thinking of this, Mo Qian did not even raise his head as he instructed Mo Xi, ¡°Go and check the license plate carefully. Find out the owner¡¯s information and the person in the photo! She¡¯s going to start school soon. I¡¯ll send her off on that day.¡±


    ¡°Yes, young master,¡± maxi nodded.


    On the other hand, Mo Qian was adjusting his way of pursuing Zhuang Xian. On the other hand, Zhuang Xian had no idea that she had been ¡®betrayed¡¯ by Xiang Nan.


    Although the houses in the vast sea Villa area were not as good as those in the Dingcheng District in the city center, it was also a real estate development zone worth a lot of money.


    Zhuang Xian took the bag from Yan Zuo and carried it in her hands without even looking at it. ¡°How is it? Has the matter with the Soul Devouring Bureau been resolved? If you need my help, remember to tell me.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s done, don¡¯t worry.¡± Yan Zuo replied with a smile.


    Zhuang Xian nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    Yan Zuo looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s faint smile that didn¡¯t reach her eyes. He furrowed his brows and asked worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t look pleased!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at Yan Zuo. Her brows suddenly furrowed with worry. She sighed slightly and said, ¡°When can master come to city H? I have some medical matters that I want to consult him about!¡±


    Yan Zuo smiled and asked gently, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem that even your senior brother couldn¡¯t solve? And it must be master!¡±


    Yan Zuo thought about it and realized that something was wrong. He asked, ¡°That¡¯s not right! What kind of medical problem can stump you? You¡¯re the Holy maiden Qing Yi. If you can¡¯t solve the problem, who else can? So, what¡¯s the problem?¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her brows slightly and looked at Yan Zuo. She said dejectedly, ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s why I wanted to ask master! Senior brother?¡±


    Zhuang Xian called out softly, almost causing Yan Zuo¡¯s bones to go soft. Yan Zuo smiled indulgently and replied, ¡°Speak,¡± he said.


    ¡°Senior brother, do you know about brittle bones and nerve spasms? His condition has already reached the late stage, and he can¡¯t even stand up!¡± Zhuang Xian turned around and sat on the bench behind her as she said worriedly.


    Yan Zuo was stunned when he heard that. Then, he asked in surprise, ¡°What? Brittle bones? This illness is sporadic. There might not be one in a few hundred million people. Why are you asking about this? Are you interested?¡±


    Zhuang Xian shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s one of my friends. He has a strange illness, and he dragged people to search for Saint Valley Medicine to find Qing Yi to treat him! I¡¯ve read about this strange disease in ancient records, but there¡¯s no real cure. I have an idea in my heart, and I want to ask the master if it¡¯s feasible!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words contained considerable information, and he took it all in.


    The ¡®friend¡¯ Junior Sister was talking about should be the man who had been sitting in a wheelchair the other day! The one who treated her so special? The head of the Mo Corporation- Mo Qian.


    Yan Zuo stayed in city H for two days. Naturally, he had not waited for anything. The relationship between Mo Qian and his Junior Sister had been so strange that he had always been curious. Hence, he got someone to investigate it.


    He wouldn¡¯t have known if he hadn¡¯t checked, but he was shocked when he did!


    The man who specially treated Junior Sister was the Mo family¡¯s head, Mo Qian, whose wealth was comparable to a country¡¯s.


    Yan Zuo had been secretly shocked for a while, but on second thought, he also felt that the two of them were a good match!

 Chapter 195 - 195 Chapter 195. Sealed Loneliness

    195 Chapter 195. Sealed Loneliness


    In Yan Zuo¡¯s heart, Little Junior Sister was the best girl in the world, worthy of the best man in the world.


    Feeling as if his thoughts had drifted off, Yan Zuo came back to his senses. After a pause, he looked at Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°So, the reason mo Qian came to the auction that day was to find Saint Valley Medicine? No, that¡¯s not right! I should say that he came to find you, Qing Yi, to treat his legs, right? The one who has contracted this strange disease is Mo Qian, who has been in a wheelchair all this time, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian knew she couldn¡¯t hide anything from her brilliant senior brother. After sighing, she nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I owe him a favor, and I want to return it to him!¡±


    ¡°Oh? What kind of great favor would require a genius doctor like you to spend so much effort to think of a way to make up for it? As far as I know, Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury has been a problem that has troubled the Mo clan for more than ten years. If you can solve it for them, Won¡¯t You Be the Mo clan¡¯s great benefactor? Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re exaggerating when you say that you only want to repay Mo Qian¡¯s favor?¡±


    Yan Zuo looked at Zhuang Xian in a daze and asked a few questions that Zhuang Xian could not avoid.


    Yan Zuo wasn¡¯t worried that Zhuang Xian wouldn¡¯t be able to treat Mo Qian¡¯s leg. As long as she wanted to, she could do anything. There was something else that was more important.


    A person who could make a genius like little Junior Sister treat him so carefully and cautiously was not an ordinary friend.


    Zhuang Xian did not know why, but she felt a little guilty under her senior¡¯s teasing and curious gaze.


    ¡°Have you forgotten about Saint Valley¡¯s senior brother Gu Xun? I want to accumulate some good deeds for our Valley! And don¡¯t you think you¡¯ll have a great sense of accomplishment if we can cure this difficult-to-treat illness?¡±


    Yan Zuo looked at her and smiled helplessly. ¡°There aren¡¯t many people who can make you so cautious, Junior Sister! When did you start explaining to me with such a guilty conscience? Just admit it; you¡¯re guilty! Do you like Mo Qian?¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyes and glared at him. The words that she wanted to refute were stuck in her throat.


    After a while, she swallowed and said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about, senior brother? I¡¯m being serious with you!¡±


    Yan Zuo saw that she was anxious and stopped teasing her. He chuckled and replied, ¡°Good, good, good! Seriously! Since you already have an idea in your heart, do it boldly! With your strength, aren¡¯t these things as easy as stretching out your hand? You can tell your senior brother about your idea if you¡¯re worried. Although the senior brother is not as powerful as you, he¡¯s more careful and thoughtful. I can help you see if you¡¯ve missed anything or need to perfect it!¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not show it on her face, but she was shocked by Yan Zuo¡¯s question.


    ¡®Do you like Mo Qian?¡¯


    This was the first time someone had asked her about her feelings for Mo Qian so directly. Of course, this also included her, who had been avoiding him.


    She had never asked herself this question so frankly. Zhuang Xian felt that her act of indifference in front of Mo Qian had wholly fallen through. She had sealed her heart, turned heartless, and sealed her loneliness.


    When you like someone, you can¡¯t hide it just because you say you want to. It will be evident from your eyes, body movements, and expressions. It can¡¯t be hidden.


    Zhuang Xian suddenly felt a little tired. She looked at Yan Zuo and did not forget to answer his question. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go back and draw up a detailed and complete treatment plan for senior. Help me see if there¡¯s anything I need to add.¡±


    Yan Zuo looked at his Junior Sister, who seemed to have suddenly lost her spirit, and comforted her. ¡°In one¡¯s life, there are times when one doesn¡¯t need to be so restrained. Even if you don¡¯t like Mo Qian, you still have a good impression of him. This is a very precious feeling, so don¡¯t waste it! Even if you find out that you¡¯re not suitable for each other after you get together, you¡¯re not the one who can¡¯t afford to lose! You¡¯re so young, beautiful, and talented. He should be the one who¡¯s nervous and afraid.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was helpless. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re too good at associating! Things aren¡¯t even certain yet, and you can already think about the future. Why didn¡¯t I realize that you have such a rich imagination?¡±


    Yan Zuo laughed when he heard that. He seemed to have seen through her and said, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t tease you anymore. I¡¯ve finished what I wanted to say, and you¡¯ve already taken the clothes. You should go back quickly!¡±

 Chapter 196 - 196 Chapter 196. Two

    196 Chapter 196. Two-faced


    Yan Zuo chased away the two-faced junior and shook his head helplessly. He thought that Zhuang Xian was still young and did not dare to be honest with her feelings.


    He did not know that Zhuang Xian¡¯s mental maturity was even higher than his.


    When Zhuang Xian left the vast sea Villa, it was already close to 4 pm. She was sent home by her senior¡¯s driver. She took her things from the Zhuang family¡¯s gate guard and slowly walked into the living room.


    Lin En was on the phone with Zhuang Bai, who was overseas. She turned her head to look at Zhuang Xian, who had finally returned home, and said to her eldest son, ¡°Alright, your sister is back. I¡¯ll ask her first.¡±


    Zhuang Bai¡¯s voice was steady and thick as he said to his mother, ¡°That¡¯s fine. If you have anything to say, ask. Don¡¯t be angry. Maybe it¡¯s just a misunderstanding! As Mr. Jason always treats his friends sincerely, he can do such a ¡®surprise¡¯ thing!¡±


    Hearing this, Lin En smiled and said gently, ¡°Who do you think your mother is? Do you think I don¡¯t know my limits? You haven¡¯t even met Xian ¡®er, but you¡¯re already protecting your little sister. Not bad, please continue to do so!¡±


    Zhuang Bai smiled helplessly at Lin En¡¯s words. ¡°I understand, mother.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one last time. You said you were coming back a few days ago. Are you delayed again?¡± Lin En asked worriedly. She had not seen her eldest son in a long time.


    At the mention of this, Zhuang Bai also wanted to sigh deeply, but he was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he could only pretend to be relaxed and say, ¡°It¡¯s something at work. There was a minor incident, but I¡¯ve almost resolved it. I¡¯ll be back in a week at most.


    Hearing that, Lin En nodded and said, ¡°Alright! You have to take care of your body when you¡¯re out alone. Don¡¯t tire yourself out. When you come back, Mom will make you your favorite food!¡±


    ¡°Good! I know, Mom. I¡¯m hanging up.¡± As Zhuang Bai spoke, he seemed to have suddenly encountered an emergency and was about to hang up the phone.


    Lin En quickly agreed. She did not want to waste Zhuang Bai¡¯s time and hung up the phone.


    Looking at her eldest son¡¯s number on her phone, Lin En sighed slightly. He turned to Zhuang Xian, who was just about to head upstairs and said gently, ¡°Xian ¡®er, wait a moment. I have something to tell you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Lin En. ¡°Mom, you¡¯re done with the call! What do you want to say? Is it urgent? If you¡¯re not in a hurry, can I go back to my room to put my things down?¡± Zhuang Xian asked obediently.


    Lin En nodded. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. You go first! The weather today is pretty good. Let¡¯s go to the courtyard and have some tea later.¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Lin En and could vaguely sense something, but she did not show it. She replied obediently, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    ¡°Alright, you can go now.¡± Lin En said softly as she nodded at Zhuang Xian.


    The September sun was still warm. It shone on the Osmanthus trees in the front yard, making them look golden and beautiful. The moment Zhuang Xian stepped into the yard, she could smell the fragrance of the Osmanthus in the wind.


    Zhuang Huai was sitting on the bench and reading his script. When he saw his sister coming over, he raised his hand and said, ¡°Little sister, come over to my side. Big brother has good news for you!¡±


    Zhuang Ming was sitting beside Lin En, sipping a cup of tea.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t expect her father and third brother to be here either. She smiled at Zhuang Huai and said, ¡°Alright, wait a moment.¡±


    She then walked towards Lin En and sat down opposite her. She asked, ¡°Mom, what did you want to tell me?¡±


    Lin En glanced at Zhuang Xian and patted Zhuang Ming¡¯s back. She pointed to a chair not far away and said, ¡°Take your tea and drink it. I want to have a private conversation with my daughter.¡±


    Zhuang Ming was taken aback. ¡°Go ahead; I won¡¯t disturb you guys!¡±


    Lin En glared at him, and Zhuang Ming immediately raised his hands in surrender. ¡°Okay, okay! I¡¯ll leave, I¡¯ll leave.¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Ming leave with the teapot and cup, Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian. She moved closer to Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°Xian ¡®er, do you know Lanwei¡¯s Jason?¡±

 Chapter 197 - 197 Chapter 197. Lucky? No Can do

    197 Chapter 197. Lucky? No Can do


    ¡°I just called your brother. He said he had no idea that Lanwei gave us the membership cards! He¡¯s very close to Jason, but he never heard Jason say that he wanted to give our entire family blue Weibo as members. This gift is too expensive!¡±


    Lin En¡¯s eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian as she spoke. She was trying to detect any unnatural expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face.


    When Zhuang Xian heard Lin En¡¯s words, her brows furrowed slightly, but they immediately relaxed. ¡°Mother, why did you suddenly ask this? ¡±


    Lin En could not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s reaction. Was this true or not?


    She couldn¡¯t understand, so she said, ¡°Xian ¡®er, tell me the truth. Did you make the pastries we had at Lanwei the other day? Are you the chef of Lanwei? What¡¯s your relationship with that world-famous teacher Jason? Did you get someone to apply for those membership cards for us?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart tightened. She knew that she could not avoid today. It looked like she did not pass the game entirely this morning. She should not have had that kind of wishful thinking!


    Zhuang Xian looked into Lin En¡¯s eyes and knew she could no longer hide it. She pursed her lips and looked at Lin En obediently before nodding her head.


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions and exclaimed softly, ¡°Really? Xian ¡®er, you¡¯re Lanwei¡¯s chef?¡±


    ¡°There was a period in the past when I was.¡± Zhuang Xian said honestly.


    She looked at Lin En¡¯s expression and saw that there was nothing but surprise. She asked, ¡°Mom, are you not angry this time?¡±


    When Lin En heard that, she smiled gently and reached out to hold her wrist. She said warmly, ¡°Why should I be angry? I can¡¯t be happier that you¡¯re so outstanding!¡±


    As she said this, she seemed to have suddenly thought of this type of word. She had said this many times before, so she laughed and ridiculed, ¡°These words sound very familiar! But it¡¯s also your fault, you stinky girl, you have so many abilities, but you¡¯ve been hiding them from us!¡±


    Zhuang Xian held Lin En¡¯s hand and smiled obediently, ¡°I was afraid that you guys wouldn¡¯t be able to accept this, so I thought of telling you one by one in the future. I never thought of hiding it from you guys.¡±


    Lin En reached out her free hand and gently pinched her face. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Tell me everything. Otherwise, I¡¯m going to get angry!¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and said to Lin en, ¡°Mom, if you were angry, you would have given birth earlier. Why would you still be angry now? Alright, I happen to have time today, so I¡¯ll tell you everything, okay?¡±


    We hear that; Lin En nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s more like it. Hurry up and tell me.¡±


    The breeze brought along the fragrance of osmanthus flowers as it blew between Zhuang Xian and Lin En. The two were of different ages and appearances, but they were both beautiful women. Under the warm sunlight and the fragrance of the flowers, they gathered together and talked about Zhuang Xian¡¯s past.


    Zhuang Huai was leaning on Zhuang Ming¡¯s right, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian and Lin En in the pavilion. He asked, ¡°Dad! What do you think Mom and sister are talking about? Why did mother start to attack my sister as she spoke? What did my sister do to get caught by Mom? Should we go up and save her?¡±


    Zhuang Ming took a sip of tea and looked at Zhuang Huai. He pretended to be profound and said, ¡°Now, Dad will teach you the first trick for a good man to survive at home. If your wife doesn¡¯t want you to interfere, you¡¯d better not!


    But it would help if you stood up when it is time for you to interfere and support me. Also, your sister won¡¯t do anything wrong, but you¡¯d better be careful!¡±


    When Zhuang Huai heard the first half of Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, he felt a little disdainful. He didn¡¯t even have a wife, so why did he have to learn this survival trick?


    He didn¡¯t know that Zhuang Ming¡¯s actual combat experience would endlessly benefit him in the future.

 Chapter 198 - 198 Chapter 198. Are You Filming?

    198 Chapter 198. Are You Filming?


    ¡°What about me? I didn¡¯t do anything bad recently.¡± Zhuang Huai asked curiously.


    Zhuang Ming stood up and looked at him from the corner of his eyes. He said coldly, ¡°You¡¯ve taken too long with this movie. Your mother is already a little annoyed with you. Hurry up and join the crew to end this!¡±


    Zhuang Huai feigned a weak smile and looked up at Zhuang Ming. ¡°Who said I was delayed? I¡¯m going on set tonight! If it weren¡¯t because I wanted to wait for my sister to come back and discuss with her our director wanting to invite her to be the second female lead in this movie, I would have packed my things and left long ago!¡±


    Zhuang Ming ignored the unimportant information and asked directly, ¡°Filming? Is your director inviting Xian ¡®er? Why? You recommended her?¡±


    ¡°I wanted to recommend her, but before I could say anything, the director told me he wanted to talk to her first. If she agrees, she can directly join the crew!¡± Zhuang Huai explained.


    ¡°But Xian ¡®er isn¡¯t a celebrity. Why would they have such thoughts?¡± Zhuang Ming asked in confusion.


    Zhuang Huai touched the back of his head and was a little confused. ¡°I don¡¯t know the exact reason, but I heard the director and producer mention it. They said that my sister¡¯s temperament is very suitable for this role. They also said that when we started shooting that day, the scriptwriter had his eyes on my sister at first sight! Don¡¯t tell me the scriptwriter suggested it to the director?¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Zhuang Huai and didn¡¯t say anything. He didn¡¯t think that this matter was impossible. It was just that Zhuang Xian¡¯s school term was about to start, and these two matters were a little conflicting.


    It wasn¡¯t a bad idea to experience filming. Zhuang Ming and Lin En were open-minded parents who respected their children¡¯s wishes. The most important thing was for their children to be interested in something.


    Zhuang Ming thought about it and said, ¡°You should ask your sister what she thinks! Your mother and I support you two experiencing different things.¡±


    When Zhuang Huai heard this, he silently nodded his head. When he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, he realized that she and his mother were looking in their direction!


    Zhuang Xian saw Zhuang Huai looking over and called out to them, ¡°Dad, third brother! What are you two talking about? You were so engrossed in it that you didn¡¯t hear me.¡±


    Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Ming looked at each other before they got up and walked toward them. He got close to Zhuang Xian and handed her the script. ¡°Do you want to go to the production team with me and experience the life of an actress? I¡¯ve read the script, and it suits you. If you¡¯re acting in it, you¡¯ll act as yourself so that it won¡¯t be difficult!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the script that Zhuang Huai handed her and asked in a daze, ¡°Third brother, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to film a movie with you? And my role?¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Huai had nodded, she furrowed her brows and continued to ask, ¡°Do I look like someone who can act? Third brother, did you bribe the crew? We don¡¯t care about getting in through the back door!¡±


    Zhuang Huai felt like crying but had no tears. He laughed and said, ¡°I say, sister, where¡¯s your usual self-confidence? Can¡¯t you be more confident? You¡¯re Zhuang Huai¡¯s little sister. It¡¯s already beneath you to play a supporting role, alright? I think you should be the female lead!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Huai indifferently, clearly not taking his words to heart.


    Our future Best Actor, seeing that his sister didn¡¯t believe him, said helplessly, ¡°Why would I lie to you in front of Mom and Dad? Am I not afraid of getting beaten up?¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at his helpless son and laughed. ¡°What the third brother said is true. Even if we lend him ten times the courage, he won¡¯t dare to lie to us! But then again, Xian ¡®er, if you¡¯re interested, you can try.¡±


    Lin En heard their conversation and turned to look at Zhuang Xian. With such a beautiful face, it would be a pity if she did not go to the film.


    Seeing that his father had spoken up for him, Zhuang Huai hurriedly recounted what had happened earlier.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she did not have much of a reaction in her heart. However, Lin En was very excited.


    She grabbed Zhuang Xian¡¯s arm and said excitedly, ¡°Xian ¡®er, look at how the scriptwriter and director say you can do it. Why don¡¯t you give it a try? It¡¯s just the second female lead so you won¡¯t have many scenes.

 Chapter 199 - 199 Chapter 199. Contribution

    199 Chapter 199. Contribution


    ¡°Besides, your little face is so pretty. It would be a pity if you didn¡¯t contribute it to the big screen.¡± Lin En saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s smiling eyes looking at her, but she did not say anything, so she anxiously tried to comfort her.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her mother helplessly and smiled, ¡°Mom, do you want me to go that much?¡±


    Lin En nodded without thinking and said, ¡°I also want to go to the set to see what your third brother looks like when he¡¯s filming! I¡¯ve always been curious.¡±


    Lin En did not want her to act in a movie or become a star. Perhaps she thought the acting was new and fun, just like a child who always liked new toys.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want to disappoint her mother and third brother. She raised her head and looked at Zhuang Huai, asking, ¡°Does the second female lead have a lot of scenes? I¡¯m someone who¡¯s going to start school soon.¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had relented, Zhuang Huai quickly said, ¡°When we were reading the script, I heard Bai Ning say that the second female lead¡¯s scenes in ¡®Cloud of doubt¡¯ will be finished in a week at most! The third brother has already thought it out for you. This second female lead¡¯s scenes are scattered, so you don¡¯t have to stay in the crew all the time!


    How is it, are you tempted? I¡¯ve read the script for you, and the role is outstanding. As long as you act reasonably, there¡¯s a high possibility that you¡¯ll be famous!¡± Zhuang Huai said while the iron was hot. He was afraid that Zhuang Xian would change her mind and not want to go again. He was looking forward to acting with his sister.


    Zhuang Xian did not care about the explosive news. She did not want to see Lin En¡¯s disappointed expression. Zhuang Xian nodded. ¡°Sure, but I have a condition. You can¡¯t delay my reporting in!¡±


    Zhuang Huai patted her shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! With the third brother helping you to make arrangements, I¡¯m sure we won¡¯t delay little sister¡¯s matters!¡±


    Thus, in the first three days of Zhuang Xian¡¯s registration at Sheng du (Saint Capital) University, she was with Zhuang Huai on set!


    ¡°Come on! Get ready for the third scene! Xiao Xian, get closer to Zhuang Huai. Your violin movements are also very standard. Keep it up! Turn on the cameras!¡± The director¡¯s voice could be heard through the loudspeaker. His tone was gentle, and it was clear that he liked Zhuang Xian very much.


    Zhuang Huai stood in front of the camera and looked coldly at the violinist played by Zhuang Xian. There were too many suspicious points about this strange and paranoid woman!


    He raised the gun and pointed the black muzzle at the woman¡¯s heart. He said coldly, ¡°Put down your violin and raise your hands!¡±


    However, the violinist turned a deaf ear to his words and continued to play her favorite song. The music surrounded the empty room and went straight into the sky, making it seem crazy and beautiful!


    This scene was one of the rare scenes where the male lead and the second female lead acted opposite. Bai Ning sat behind the camera, focusing on Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Xian. She did not expect that the second female lead that Zhuang Huai had pulled into the crew at the last minute was his sister.


    On the other hand, his sister was already so good on her first try. Zhuang Xian¡¯s level of focus was so scary that it surpassed many experienced actors.


    Actors could also be roughly divided into two categories. One was the technical actor. They could perfectly express what the character needed them to say through superb skills. This was also the most common way of acting in the entertainment industry. For example, Bai Ning herself was like this.


    The second category was the emotional category. They used their rich and sensitive emotions to bring themselves into the character and become one with it, achieving a better performance effect. They could also allow the audience to be more directly immersed in nature as if they were on the scene.


    Such actors should be rare, but in the cast of ¡°Cloud of doubt ¡°, there were two such actors, Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Xian!


    If a pretty face in the entertainment industry was a gift from the heavens, then people like Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai were the existence that the heavens chased after to feed.


    Bai Ning¡¯s mind was in a mess. Suddenly, she sighed dejectedly, ¡°There¡¯s no comparison! I almost want to give her my role as the female lead!¡±


    ¡°Ning Ning, what are you saying? Zhuang Xian could play this role well because she fits the role well. This was also due to luck. You don¡¯t have to belittle yourself like this! Didn¡¯t the director praise you in the last scene?¡±

 Chapter 200 - 200 Chapter 200. The Second Female Leads Kill

    200 Chapter 200. The Second Female Lead¡¯s Kill


    Bai Ning¡¯s manager looked at Bai Ning with disappointment, but she still comforted her with a warm heart.


    Bai Ning smiled, but her eyes were fixed on the brother and sister behind the camera. She said softly, ¡°I¡¯m just saying it to express my feelings, understand? Don¡¯t you know how to ridicule?¡±


    The next second, the police officer, played by Zhuang Huai, opened fire at the beautiful violinist. After a loud bang, a bright red flower bloomed on the violinist¡¯s chest. She was wearing a red dress, and when the blood sprayed on it, it only deepened the color.


    Zhuang Xian fell into a pool of bright red blood. Her long, soft hair was stained with blood. In her hand, she held the violin that she regarded as her life. However, as the blood flowed out, her hands that held the violin and bow slowly lost their strength. In the end, she did not have her violin.


    In this empty room, there was a deathly silence. At the last moment, before the violinist closed her eyes, crystal tears fell from the corner of her eyes. Her thin lips, covered in gorgeous lipstick, opened slightly, showing her resentment for the despair in the world.


    ¡°So it was just a dream; no wonder it was so preposterous.¡±


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s hand that was holding the gun trembled slightly. He didn¡¯t understand why his heart was so painful that he couldn¡¯t breathe when he had just killed a suspect. In the end, the male lead finally puts down the gun.


    The director, sitting behind the monitor, quickly shouted, ¡°Cut! Congratulations, sister Xian ¡®er!¡±


    The scene was silent at first, but after the producer and director took the lead in clapping, people slowly responded.


    ¡°Congratulations! Xian ¡®er is too amazing!¡±


    ¡°Heavens! I¡¯m crying! What kind of god-like acting is this?¡±


    ¡°Little sister is too amazing! I like it!¡±


    ¡°Argh! My little angel! You were born at the wrong time!¡±


    Of course, the one who cried the most was the movie¡¯s scriptwriter.


    When everyone¡¯s attention returned to the scene¡¯s main character, they saw Zhuang Huai hugging his sister tightly in his arms. Zhuang Xian¡¯s body was trembling slightly. She was happy, but the tears in her eyes were like a broken dam.


    She lifted her hands and hugged Zhuang Huai¡¯s firm back, her voice trembling as she called out, ¡°Ling bei! Third brother!


    Ling bei was the name of the male lead in the movie. Zhuang Huai knew that Zhuang Xian was not entirely out of character yet. He quickly hugged his sister tightly and comforted her with a warm voice, ¡°I¡¯m here! Third brother is here!¡±


    It took Zhuang Xian nearly five minutes to recover slowly. The tragic scene of this character almost made her recall the past. Zhuang Xian¡¯s last line resonated with her.


    She reached out to take the bouquet from Bai Ning and thanked her with red eyes and a smile.


    Zhuang Xian saw Bai Ning secretly glance at her third brother, then lean closer to her and say in a serious tone, ¡°You¡¯re better at acting than your brother. He was completely suppressed by you just now!¡±


    As she spoke, she took out a red packet and handed it to Zhuang Xian. ¡°I haven¡¯t even had a good chat with you, and you¡¯re already returning to school! Seven days of filming were done in three days. This sister is convinced! This is a red packet for you; take it!¡±


    Bai Ning looked at this beautiful girl. She didn¡¯t know why, but she always had a very inexplicable sense of closeness to her. ¡®She likes this girl,¡¯ Bai Ning thought, and a smile bloomed on her face.


    When Zhuang Huai turned around, he was just in time to witness this pleasing scene. The two most beautiful girls on set were together.


    They seemed to be whispering to each other, and when they talked about something funny, they looked at each other and laughed. They were as beautiful as flowers, and their smiles were even more eye-catching!


    Zhuang Huai passed Zhuang Xian an ice pack and pretended to be relaxed as he teased, ¡°Seeing how you cried just now, I was apprehensive that you wouldn¡¯t be able to get out of the character! That ¡®Ling bei¡¯ made my scalp tingle! Hurry up and put it on, or you¡¯ll have to report to school tomorrow with swollen eyes! Hahaha.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked speechlessly at her brother, who gloated at her misfortune. She said to Bai Ning helplessly, ¡°Sister Ning, please don¡¯t take offense. My brother isn¡¯t always this crazy. He¡¯s very kind, gentle, and considerate!¡±


    As she spoke, she took the ice pack from Zhuang Huai¡¯s hand and gestured for Bai Ning to look over as if she was praising her brother.


    Bai Ning was taken aback. She felt that Zhuang Xian was acting strangely, as if she had realized something!

 Chapter 201 - 201 Chapter 201. Fang Shi

    201 Chapter 201. ¡®Fang Shi¡¯


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t think that her acting was that good. She just tried her best to replicate such a role. Just like what Bai Ning had felt just now, Zhuang Xian was someone who was chased by the heavens!


    ¡°Director, you¡¯re overpraising me. As long as I don¡¯t let you down, it¡¯s fine.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she smiled gently. Her beautiful face was like a dazzling flower that had bloomed.


    In the movie ¡°Cloud of doubt,¡± the screenwriter was a slightly famous screenwriter teacher in the entertainment industry. Her name was Fang Shi! Yes, it was the same name as the violin musician that Zhuang Xian played in the movie!


    Therefore, it was easy to imagine how much Fang Shi loved the ¡®Fang Shi¡¯ in the movie.


    Fang Shi was a lovely woman. When Zhuang Xian was killed on the set, she was the one who cried the most. She looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and forced a smile. ¡°Thank you, Zhuang Xian. You¡¯ve perfectly replicated the ¡®Fang Shi¡¯ I imagined!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her and smiled. ¡°No need to thank me. Meeting ¡®Fang Shi¡¯ might also be my fortune!¡±


    When the scriptwriter heard this, her eyebrows relaxed, and she smiled. It seemed that they all resonated with and liked the role of ¡®Fang Shi¡¯ in this script.


    ¡°I know you only decided to come and help at the last minute because of your brother Zhuang Huai. We are very grateful to you! If you¡¯re still interested in acting in the future, I have a very mature script in my hands. I think it¡¯s very suitable for you and would like to invite you to be the female lead! Look at Yingluo.¡±


    The scriptwriter looked at Zhuang Xian expectantly as she spoke.


    If it was three days ago, someone had come over to invite Zhuang Xian to film a movie; she would have thought that the other party was just playing with her and there might be something wrong with her eyes! However, after three days of fulfilling a rich acting life, Zhuang Xian had a new understanding of the word ¡®acting.¡¯


    In her past life, other than persistently searching for her biological parents and dating Gao Peng, Zhuang Xian had never really liked anything! In her previous life, she did not have many opportunities to work with others in movies.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the scriptwriter and already had an answer in her heart. If possible, Zhuang Xian also wanted to do something meaningful amid her revenge. For example, she wanted to develop her interests.


    Before she could say anything, Zhuang Huai, standing anxiously at the side, had already spoken up impatiently.

 Chapter 202 - 202 Chapter 202. Wrap Party

    202 Chapter 202. Wrap Party


    ¡°Miss Fang!¡± Zhuang Huai said. My sister is interested! If it¡¯s possible, we can reach an oral agreement now! If you think it¡¯s convenient, you can let us have a look at the script brief first!¡±


    As he spoke, he smiled at Zhuang Xian, cleared his throat, and continued, ¡°I can temporarily act as my sister¡¯s manager!¡±


    The director and Bai Ning watched from the side. They both felt it was exciting for Zhuang Huai to say these words with such a handsome and determined face.


    The scriptwriter excitedly looked at Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai and said, ¡°Of course, you can. I can send you the script now.


    The director calmly reached out and stopped the excited scriptwriter from reaching for her bag. He smiled and said, ¡°Alright, alright, no need to rush! His sister wouldn¡¯t run away! Let¡¯s go to the hotel to eat first. We can¡¯t be late for your sister¡¯s celebration party.¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled as she looked at the director and scriptwriter, then glared at Zhuang Huai. She nodded and said, ¡°There¡¯s no hurry with the script; let¡¯s take it slowly! Ms. Fang, can you add me on WeChat later? We¡¯ll chat in detail.¡±


    Screenwriter Fang nodded vigorously, thinking that there was nothing better than this.


    At nearly 10 pm, the ¡°Cloud of Doubt¡± production team, which had just started filming three days, magically welcomed their first wrap party.


    The producer was very generous, and the hotel he booked wasn¡¯t cheap. The food was good, and the wine was rich. Zhuang Huai was in a good mood today and had a good drink with the director and producer. Even in such a situation, he did not forget to remind his sister Zhuang Xian not to drink.


    ¡°Xian ¡®er! You can only drink when you¡¯re an adult! Burp good! Big brother is doing this for your good!¡± Zhuang Huai¡¯s alcohol tolerance wasn¡¯t excellent, so he was already drunk. He hiccuped as he spoke, and his handsome face was red.


    Zhuang Xian was helpless. She apologetically looked at the director and producer and smiled, ¡°My brother¡¯s alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t good; I¡¯m sorry to have embarrassed you. I have to return to the city later so I won¡¯t stay any longer. My brother is drunk, so I¡¯m sending him back first!¡±


    Fortunately, the director and producer of ¡°Cloud of Doubt¡± were people who would drink at a table. They smiled and waved their hands, saying that it was nothing. They even wanted to stand up and walk the siblings out, but they were all pressed down by the assistants beside them.


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s alcohol tolerance wasn¡¯t good, and the director¡¯s and producer¡¯s didn¡¯t seem particularly good either!


    A person who could be a producer should not have such a low tolerance for alcohol. He was happy today. It was easier to get drunk when people were happy.


    His many years of experience in the film industry told him that their show, ¡®Cloud of Doubt¡¯, would be a big hit! With the support of a dark horse like Zhuang Xian, he was even more powerful.


    Zhuang Xian naturally didn¡¯t know what the producer was thinking. She moved Zhuang Huai to the hotel¡¯s underground parking lot with Zhuang Huai¡¯s assistant. As they stuffed him into the nanny van, Bai Ning and her assistant came from behind.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai had not left, Bai Ning happily shouted, ¡°Zhuang Xian!¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around and saw that it was her third brother¡¯s future wife. She smiled and replied, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, sister Ning-ning? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Bai Ning walked two steps away from Zhuang Xian and said, panting slightly, ¡°I want to hitch a ride from your brother. He shouldn¡¯t have any objections, right?¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian looked into the car, blinked her big eyes, and said teasingly, ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll have any objections,¡±


    The third young master of the Zhuang family, who had fallen into a sweet dream, naturally had no objections!


    Zhuang Huai¡¯s meticulous assistant started to look around worriedly.


    He couldn¡¯t be blamed for being so cautious. The paparazzi in the entertainment industry was a pervasive and disgusting lot!


    ¡® Cloud of Doubt¡¯ had just started filming. He didn¡¯t want to make any mistakes now. If that happened, his brother Xu would skin him alive.


    Because brother Huai and his sister were here today, he had to give Zhuang Xian some face. In the past, no woman would be able to sit in brother Huai¡¯s car so late at night.


    Of course, the two beautiful women sitting together and chatting softly did not know what the young assistant sitting in the front passenger seat was thinking.

 Chapter 203 - 203 Chapter 203. Old Moon?

    203 Chapter 203. Old Moon?


    Bai Ning glanced at Zhuang Huai, who was sleeping quietly. She took a deep breath and whispered to Zhuang Xian, ¡°I won¡¯t be able to see you at the set tomorrow. I¡¯m a little reluctant.¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled tiredly. She had just taken a sip of fruit wine and seemed to be very drunk. ¡°Didn¡¯t we add each other on WeChat? We can still keep in touch!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes lit up, and her smile became more sly. ¡°Besides! When my mom left yesterday, she told me to keep an eye on my brother and not let those women with bad intentions get close to him. Unfortunately, my part is over, and I have to leave in a while! I think we get along well. Sister Ning-Ning, why don¡¯t you help me with this?¡±


    Bai Ning¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Naturally, I¡¯m looking after my silly brother! Don¡¯t let the little demon remember him.¡± Zhuang Xian said jokingly, but her beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness.


    As far as she knew, ¡®Cloud of doubt¡¯ would have many more extras, most of which would be young and beautiful women. It was just a pretense that Zhuang Xian wanted to match them together!


    But Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t reveal her true intentions, so she devised this plan. Bai Ning was also a brilliant woman. She would understand her attitude.


    Zhuang Xian hoped to have a beautiful sister like Bai Ning as her sister-in-law!


    Bai Ning looked at Zhuang Xian for a long time, then nodded gently and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The day the male and female leads for ¡®Cloud of Doubt¡¯ were finalized was not the first time Bai Ning and Zhuang Huai met. Their first encounter was much earlier than now.


    When Bai Ning saw that Zhuang Huai had forgotten entirely about her, she felt slightly disappointed. However, it was only a little. After all, she was the one who had stubbornly liked Zhuang Huai.


    When Zhuang Xian heard Bai Ning¡¯s thanks, she turned her head in satisfaction and looked at the night view outside the car window. She sighed slightly without changing her expression. It was a little funny, but more than that, she was relieved. This act of being the matchmaker was quite fun.


    Zhuang Xian felt relieved because she had already accepted it in her heart. She could change many of her misfortunes in her second life and receive some good returns. Everything could develop in a good direction.


    Perhaps, she could also transform into a whole new her without getting caught in her cocoon. Besides fulfilling her wishes, she could also get those precious things!


    As she thought of this, a name suddenly appeared in Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind. She felt that she must have been drunk. Otherwise, why would she suddenly think of that man?


    However, how could a mouthful of fruit wine be intoxicating? It¡¯s just human emotions! Or perhaps, it was because of Bai Ning and Zhuang Huai!


    Somehow, there was an inexplicable sense of destiny that was guiding Zhuang Xian forward. Perhaps the pity God had for her was not only to let her live again but to take revenge and repay the kindness of others. There was a more profound meaning waiting for her to discover it earlier.


    After Zhuang Xian watched her assistant send her brother back to his room, she bid farewell to Bai Ning and walked out of the hotel where the crew was staying. She had asked the driver to wait at the hotel entrance ten minutes ago.


    The night wind was slightly chilly. Zhuang Xian raised her hand to look at her watch. It was almost two in the morning.


    Even though she had to report to the University this afternoon, she did not have much time to rest. However, Zhuang Xian did not care. The night breeze only made her more awake!


    However, when she saw Mo Qian by the roadside, she felt she was still in a dream.


    Looking at the man under the streetlight, Zhuang Xian felt like she was dreaming.


    Mo Qian was sitting in an intelligent wheelchair, wearing a long brown windbreaker, and his shoes were so clean that there was no dust on them. However, perhaps it was because he had been waiting for a long time; the hair on his forehead that had been tidied up had slightly collapsed, making him look cuter!

 Chapter 204 - 204 Chapter 204. Picking up a Child

    204 Chapter 204. Picking up a Child


    She and Mo Qian had only not seen each other for a few days, but at this moment, Zhuang Xian felt as if it had been a long, long time!


    Perhaps, Zhuang Xian was just tired? Was she so sleepy that she was delirious? Or maybe she missed him! In any case, it was hard to explain.


    Zhuang Xian stopped a few steps away and looked at Mo Qian in a daze.


    Mo Qian looked at the girl in the distance. The warm yellow light reflected on the corner of his mouth, slowly forming an arc. He smiled and looked at his girl lovingly, saying gently, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you drunk?¡±


    As he spoke, he slowly maneuvered his wheelchair towards Zhuang Xian! As he got close, he could see the girl¡¯s beautiful face, which was slightly red. He smiled and said, ¡°You drank too much? The success rate should be quite high if I take you home now!¡±


    For some reason, Zhuang Xian pouted and said in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re the one who drank too much, you coward!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    The man¡¯s gentlemanly and deep voice was very pleasing to the ear. His pair of gentle phoenix eyes seemed only to be able to hold Zhuang Xian!


    Very true! He only dared to take advantage of the dead of the night and get drunk with someone else to say such words. Zhuang Xian was complaining in her heart, but her eyes were still bright as she looked at the person in front of her. ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    Zhuang Xian still did not dare to tell Mo Qian what she was thinking. She was afraid that Mo Qian would ask her gently, ¡®Who is the more cowardly one?¡¯


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s blushing cheeks and her eyes. He didn¡¯t know if it was because of her drunken beauty or the excitement and surprise she felt after seeing him.


    He smiled and seemed in a good mood as he teased, ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up a child that other people don¡¯t want! Are you coming home with me?¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not know how much emotion Mo Qian¡¯s words would leave behind in her life. She only knew that her eyes were slightly moist at this moment.


    Perhaps at some point, Zhuang Xian had already answered Mo Qian in her heart. She said, ¡°I¡¯m willing to go home with you!¡±


    After getting into the black Maybach that Mo Qian had modified, Zhuang Xian¡¯s fatigue washed over her like a tidal wave. Sitting on her left, Mo Qian saw how tired she was and said softly, ¡°Go to sleep. I¡¯ll wake you up when we arrive.¡±


    Zhuang Xian closed her eyes and leaned back in the car seat at a comfortable angle. She snored softly. Mo Qian heard her and raised his hand to signal for Mo Xi to pull down the curtain in the car so that no sound could disturb Zhuang Xian.


    Mo Xi obeyed the young master¡¯s order obediently, but he was a little angry and felt indignant for his young master. The young master had waited at the hotel¡¯s entrance for five hours. When the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss had dinner with the crew, they had already arrived!


    They could have participated in such a small celebration, but their young master insisted on waiting.


    He waited for the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter to settle everything at hand before quietly appearing. And the result? He had only said a few words, but the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter had fallen asleep as soon as she got in the car. She did not even say a word of thanks for the hard work. It was infuriating!


    The loyal but extremely inexperienced Special Assistant Mo Xi naturally didn¡¯t understand how many turbulent emotions these two delicate people had to go through if they wanted to be together!


    Especially for someone like Zhuang Xian, who was extremely smart yet sensitive and fragile.


    Zhuang Xian felt she had the most comfortable sleep in the past three days. The sound of the wind awoke her.


    The moment she opened her eyes, she immediately closed them again. A warm yet piercing light shone through her delicate, white eyelids and into her eyes.


    When Zhuang Xian finally saw the sunrise on the river, Mo Qian¡¯s deep and charming voice rang in her ears. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked in a daze at the beautiful scenery in front of her. She couldn¡¯t help but nod as if she had no subjective consciousness.


    This was Mo Qian¡¯s first time seeing such an obedient and adorable Zhuang Xian. He chuckled softly, his laughter like the low hum of the best cello. ¡°It just so happened to be the sunrise on the river. This child is so lucky. Does it look good?¡±


    Zhuang Xian subconsciously nodded and replied, ¡°It¡¯s nice.¡±


    It was rare for Mo Qian to be so naughty, but he realized that the precious girl beside him seemed to have yet to come to her senses!

 Chapter 205 - 205 Chapter 205. School Opening Gift

    205 Chapter 205. School Opening Gift


    It was just past five in the morning, and the sunrise could already be seen on the Chang river in City H.


    This most significant city in Z Country was like a sleeping steel beast. It was beautiful and charming, constantly attracting foreigners to run around for it!


    Of course, this did not include Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian, who were still in the mood to watch the sunrise.


    In the back seat of the black Maybach with its car window half-open, Zhuang Xian was gradually waking up with the morning breeze. She looked at Mo Qian and asked, ¡°What time is it now?¡±


    Mo Qian pointed at the sunrise on the river, his handsome face reflecting the warm morning light. He smiled faintly and said, ¡°Probably around five o ¡®clock!¡±


    ¡°Are we sitting on a snail?¡± Zhuang Xian said, amused.


    She was implying that it had been nearly three hours since they had come from the amusement park in the suburbs to the city, but Mo Qian had still not sent her back to the Zhuang family. If this speed was not a snail, what could it be?


    The man lowered his head and smiled on purpose. When he looked up at Zhuang Xian, the beautiful curve of his lips made Zhuang Xian feel uneasy. ¡°Don¡¯t you want your school present?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was stunned and subconsciously asked, ¡°What?¡±


    Mo Qian then pointed to the rising sun and said with a smile, ¡°The sunrise, is it precious enough?¡±


    This time, Zhuang Xian was stunned. Under the man¡¯s gentle gaze, her heart started to beat wildly. Zhuang Xian looked away unnaturally and pretended to calm down as she looked at the sunrise outside the car window.


    She was the only one who knew how crazy she was internally. Mo Qian was too good at flirting! Who could withstand this? Oh heavens, someone, please teach her what to do! What was this man trying to do? I¡¯m still a 16-year-old girl in her prime!


    Mo Qian wouldn¡¯t be a pedophile.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was clear. Her thoughts gradually cleared up as she recalled everything Mo Qian had done for her that day.


    Not to mention how long Mo Qian had waited at the hotel entrance for her, how did he find time to pick her up from his busy and chaotic work, and how did he even think of giving her a school present? That night, Zhuang Xian was indescribably touched by Mo Qian!


    ¡°It¡¯s very precious! But hurry up and send me back; I¡¯m so tired.¡± Zhuang Xian said in a low voice. She retracted her gaze from the beautiful sunrise over the Chang River. Only she knew how reluctant she was to part with him.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian and chuckled after a long while. ¡°Alright,¡± he said.


    As he spoke, he slowly closed the window and said to Mo Xi in front, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Zhuang family.¡±


    The Maybach¡¯s superior engine sounded as it slowly drove away from the Chang bridge, leaving behind only a warm and passionate sunrise, just like Mo Qian¡¯s heart at this moment.


    It was hushed in the car, and Zhuang Xian could even hear Mo Qian¡¯s slow breathing. She thought for a moment, then asked Mo Qian, ¡°How¡¯s your leg injury these past few days? Did you have an attack? Did you take the medicine I gave you? Remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable or if something is wrong!¡±


    As he listened to Zhuang Xian¡¯s long-winded questions, Mo Qian¡¯s earlier sense of loss disappeared. Even someone as downcast as young master Mo would suddenly turn from cloudy to sunny after hearing a few words from the girl he liked.


    ¡°You¡¯ve only been away for three days. Why do you make it sound like you¡¯ve been away for a long time? There¡¯s nothing special; I took medicine according to your instructions.¡± Mo Qian said as he looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes with a hint of gentleness. ¡°Don¡¯t worry; I¡¯ll let you know as soon as possible if anything happens.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she nodded her head lightly. ¡°Although I¡¯m starting school, I¡¯ll probably still live at home! I¡¯ll perform acupuncture on you once every three days for about two months. We¡¯ll see the effect as we treat you and adjust accordingly!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she suddenly realized that her words were full of loopholes. She thought about it and added, ¡°Of course, if apothecary Qing has any important instructions, I¡¯ll pass them on to you immediately!¡±

 Chapter 206 - 206 Chapter 206. Advancing Step by Step

    206 Chapter 206. Advancing Step by Step


    Mo Qian did not expose Zhuang Xian. He smiled and nodded, replying, ¡°Alright, I understand. Thank you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian sighed slightly. After thinking for a while, she said, ¡°I thank you too.¡±


    ¡°Eh? What?¡± Mo Qian asked in return.


    Zhuang Xian licked her dry lips and said in an unnatural tone, ¡°Thank you for coming to pick me up, and thank you for the school opening gift. It¡¯s very original!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I¡¯m willing to. As for the ¡®original idea¡¯ you mentioned, I¡¯ll take it as a compliment!¡± As Mo Qian spoke, the smile at the corner of his mouth became more apparent.


    ¡°I¡¯m complimenting you; you don¡¯t have to be so modest.¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood brightened as she spoke. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Mo Qian. ¡°After all, very few people would think of giving others such a gift. Let me guess, did Si Rong teach you this again? ¡±


    Mo Qian raised his eyebrows. His amorous eyes were full of playfulness as if he wasn¡¯t afraid that Zhuang Xian would expose his clumsy way of pursuing her. ¡°How did you know it was Si Rong?¡± he asked.


    ¡°I guessed it! Xiang Nan doesn¡¯t seem to be such a romantic person.¡±


    Mo Qian smiled and asked, ¡°Why do you say so? Shouldn¡¯t Xiang Nan be more similar? After all, he¡¯s at the age where he loves to be romantic!¡±


    The two of them chatted casually as if they didn¡¯t realize their happiness. They were making fun of each other. Zhuang Xian thought about Xiang Nan¡¯s usual style and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m guessing that doctor Si is more of a romantic rationalist.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian nodded and said softly, ¡°Then, is my present romantic? Do you like it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was stunned. The nerves in her brain seemed to have been jolted up again. She fell silent! Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know how to answer Mo Qian¡¯s question. Some ambiguity could be broken with a single poke and couldn¡¯t withstand repeated probing. However, Mo Qian was also a person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, and he was also a person who would advance step by step!


    Zhuang Xian was truly afraid of Mo Qian!


    So, even when Mo Xi¡¯s voice came from the front, Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian did not say a word.


    ¡°Young master! Miss Zhuang, we¡¯re here.¡±


    The driver and Mo Xi both got out of the car. One was carrying Zhuang Xian¡¯s luggage, and the other reached out to help Zhuang Xian open the door.


    Before Mo Xi could open the car door, Mo Qian whispered to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Sometimes, I feel that you¡¯re like an animal!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian¡¯s exquisite and bright side profile. ¡°Do you know which one it is? It¡¯s a hedgehog. It shrinks into its armor after being rubbed by someone. It is a coward, but its appearance is self-righteous and unapproachable!¡±


    The car door was pulled open by Mo Xi from outside, and a cool breeze gushed in. Zhuang Xian¡¯s feet only paused for a moment before she immediately returned to normal. She stood up and left her seat, not responding to Mo Qian¡¯s words.


    As she watched Zhuang Xian leave with her luggage, Mo Xi turned around and looked at the young master. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to send the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter in?¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back until she walked through the Zhuang family¡¯s front door. Then, he retracted his gaze, looking a little tired. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the company.¡±


    Mo Xi saw that the young master was not in a good mood and did not dare to ask more. He nodded and returned to the front passenger seat.


    Zhuang Xian, who had fallen onto the bed, stared at the beautiful ceiling light with wide eyes. She thought about what Mo Qian had just said, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she complained, ¡°So what if I¡¯m a hedgehog? Who was in the way? Old man, you¡¯re just trying to be mysterious. Why don¡¯t you take a look at the age difference between us? I¡¯m still an underaged girl!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she seemed very irritated as she thumped the soft mattress a few times, her mouth making an unknown sound.


    However, after three minutes, Zhuang Xian fell asleep. Her fatigue from the past three days was almost on par with the anxiety she felt when dealing with Mo Qian.


    The security guard at the front yard mentioned that Zhuang Xian had only returned home at 5:30 am. When he returned to the living room, he saw Lin En preparing breakfast for his family. He asked, ¡°Xian ¡®er is still not up?¡±


    Lin En nodded lightly and put the warm milk on the table. ¡°She came back too late last night. Let her sleep for a while. Don¡¯t they start reporting at 2 pm? What¡¯s the hurry!¡±


    Walking towards Lin En, Zhuang Hang took a deep breath and said, ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry. I just heard the security guard mention it. By the way, Mo Qian was the one who brought my sister back this morning!¡±

 Chapter 207 - 207 Chapter 207. Agreed to Sign The Contract

    207 Chapter 207. Agreed to Sign The Contract


    Lin En¡¯s hands paused for a moment, and she looked up at Hang. She asked, ¡°How do you know? When I returned earlier, I left a chauffeur at the set, thinking that Xian ¡®er could use him!¡±


    ¡°Does anyone in our family drive a black Maybach?¡± Zhuang Hang looked at Lin En and asked in a dark tone.


    Before the mother and son could finish their exchange, they were interrupted by Zhuang Xian, who came down from the second floor.


    Lin En turned around to look at her precious daughter. She could see the slight fatigue in her eyes.


    ¡°Xian ¡®er, why didn¡¯t you sleep a little longer? It¡¯s only seven o ¡®clock now, you¡¯re going to report to school in the afternoon, so there¡¯s no hurry.¡± Lin En said as she reached out to grab Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist.


    Zhuang Xian smiled and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine! I still have other things to do, so I can¡¯t waste my time sleeping.¡±


    Lin En said in disagreement, ¡°Kid, no one is whipping you behind your back. What¡¯s this about a waste of time? If only your Dad had your awareness!¡±


    Zhuang Xian held Lin En¡¯s hand and sat down on a chair. She smiled and said, ¡°I have something to do. Okay, okay, don¡¯t worry about me, Mom! I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±


    ¡°Our Xian ¡®er isn¡¯t the child that makes people worry! I say, Mrs. Zhuang, the next time you want to slander me, can¡¯t you consider that I¡¯m here?¡± Zhuang Ming came down from the second floor and laughed as he denounced his wife.


    Lin En didn¡¯t care about Zhuang Ming¡¯s presence! She glanced at Zhuang Ming, then turned back to her baby daughter and said, ¡°I¡¯m not wrong! Every day you work, you have to come back and cry to me, saying that you¡¯re too tired and want to retire early at home to spend the rest of your life with me! Why don¡¯t you take a look at how old you are? You¡¯re not like our Xian ¡®er! After rushing three days of filming, the moment she came back, she didn¡¯t even dare to sleep enough and only thought about doing things!¡±


    Zhuang Ming raised his hands in surrender halfway through Lin En¡¯s sentence. As a wife slave, Mr. Zhuang was no match for his wife!


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes! I¡¯m wrong. I¡¯ll learn from my precious daughter.¡± As Zhuang Ming spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian, eating silently at the side.


    Zhuang Xian smiled faintly and looked up to exchange glances with her second brother. She shook her head helplessly as she looked at her parents and teased them.


    Zhuang Hang took a sip of his milk and looked at Zhuang Xian. ¡°Xian ¡®er, what time do you plan to go over in the afternoon? I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡±


    ¡°Four o ¡®clock, ¡± Zhuang Xian replied after some thought. ¡°We can avoid the crowd if we go later.¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded. ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll go to the company with dad first and return later.¡±


    At the tea house by the door.


    Masaharu had been sitting in the tea room for half an hour. She glanced at her watch and saw that it was half past eight. She took a sip of the top-quality Longjing tea in front of her and managed to suppress the excitement in her heart.


    When Zhuang Xian pushed the door open and entered, Ya Jing immediately stood up. She looked at her boss with excitement in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve become the boss! Ye Zheng has already agreed to our collaboration. He asked me to come to Ye Group this afternoon to sign the contract.¡±


    Zhuang Xian casually placed her bag on the tea table. She did not seem to be very excited when she heard this. After she sat opposite Ya Jing, she said, ¡°What¡¯s their offer?¡±


    Ya Jing smiled and took out a folder from behind her. She opened it and handed it to Zhuang Xian. ¡°It¡¯s within our calculations. After all, our actions over the past few days have made them uneasy. They¡¯re afraid of missing out on a big fish like us!¡±


    Zhuang Xian flipped through the documents and smiled, ¡°Well done! It seems it was the right decision to leave this matter to you.¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s praise, Ya Jing laughed happily and quickly replied, ¡°Boss, your plan was great. You accurately predicted Ye Zheng and Ye Xin¡¯s thoughts and grasped Ye Group¡¯s bottom line, allowing us to enter the Ye Group at such a low price officially!¡±


    As Ya Jing spoke, she seemed to have just remembered that she had asked Zhuang Xian out. The joy on her face faded slightly, and she continued, ¡°I asked the boss out today to discuss the signing of the contract.¡±


    Zhuang Xian had already guessed it. Of course, she also knew the reason behind Ye Group¡¯s decision. When they went over, it might not be as simple as signing a contract!

 Chapter 208 - 208 Chapter 208. Walking Into The Trap?

    208 Chapter 208. Walking Into The Trap?


    The media might be waiting for them to ¡®Walk into the trap¡¯! Zhuang Xian guessed that Ye Xin would think this was the signal for the Ye Group to strike back at Ming En!


    As she thought about Ye Xin¡¯s current self-righteous attitude, the corners of Zhuang Xian¡¯s lips slowly curved into a disdainful smile.


    She put down the documents in her hand and looked up at Ya Jing. ¡°In a while, ¡®Yan An¡¯ won¡¯t appear at noon. I¡¯ll find someone to help you!¡±


    Masaharu was stunned and asked in confusion, ¡°Boss, aren¡¯t you coming over?¡±


    ¡°They have a trap waiting for me! How can I walk right into the trap?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she briefly explained to Ya Jing, ¡°There¡¯s a high chance that they¡¯ll use this contract with Xian Du to create momentum and use this as the first step to retaliate against Ming En. So, I can¡¯t let them have their way! Yan An won¡¯t go over, but I¡¯ll find someone to help you. Don¡¯t have stage fright; give them a hard time!¡±


    When Masaharu heard this, she nodded and replied with bright eyes, ¡°Boss, you¡¯re so thoughtful. I didn¡¯t even consider this!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ya Jing and chuckled. ¡°In the future, I¡¯ll have to go through you for any communication with the Ye Group. I believe you can do it well! Now, I have another matter for you to excel.¡±


    When Ya Jing saw that her Boss¡¯s expression was becoming more serious, she calmed down and listened to Zhuang Xian¡¯s instructions!


    As Zhuang Xian had expected, the entire Ye Group¡¯s building was filled with reporters.


    Ye Xin arrived at the office early in the morning; all dressed up. Today was very different for her. First, her suggestion had already been accepted by the Ye Group¡¯s board of directors. They had unanimously approved the letter of intent to become a shareholder of silky soft. Secondly, it was the start of the semester at Saint Capital University today, and she was about to start her life at a prestigious University!


    Ye Zheng¡¯s Secretary was a wonderful woman. She looked at Ye Xin respectfully and greeted, ¡°Miss! CEO Ye said it¡¯s better if you don¡¯t attend the press conference today!¡±


    Ye Xin was taken aback. She looked at the secretary with confusion and impatience. ¡°What did you say? Is this my Dad¡¯s idea? Move aside; I¡¯ll go in and talk to him.¡±


    As Ye Xin spoke, she pushed the secretary aside in her high heels and strode into Ye Zheng¡¯s office. ¡°Dad! Didn¡¯t we have an agreement? I¡¯ll attend the press conference to liaise with the people from silky soft. How can you go back on your word?¡±


    She looked at Ye Zheng, behind the table, in confusion. Her tone was not very pleasant either.


    Ye Zheng lifted his head from his computer screen and narrowed his eyes at the indignant Ye Xin. ¡°Don¡¯t you have to start school today? Why are you meddling in the company¡¯s affairs? I¡¯m doing this for your good. How can you delay your registration? Your mother is going to scold me to death!¡±


    ¡°I know my limits! We¡¯ve made ample preparations over the past few days, and the collaboration with Xian du is already set in stone. There won¡¯t be any more slip-ups, so how can it delay me?¡± Ye Xin looked at Ye Zheng in disagreement. She took two steps forward and stood in front of Ye Zheng.


    Ye Zheng glanced at his daughter and sighed helplessly. He didn¡¯t know if he should be happy or worried about his young daughter¡¯s competitive nature!


    Ye Xin had a particular talent for business, but it was only a little. Shen Min taught her to be proud and arrogant since she was young. Ye Zheng felt that one day, Ye Xin would be at a disadvantage because of her personality!


    In his heart, girls should be well-educated and reasonable, supporting their husbands and raising their children. Things like competing in the business world should be what men should do!


    As Ye Xin was his only child left, Ye Zheng had always been very indulgent towards her. In the past, Ye Zheng had always been able to let go of all the small matters. However, this matter had already involved distributing Ye Group¡¯s shares! It was no longer child¡¯s play. Ye Zheng kept feeling an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart!


    However, he didn¡¯t expect the board of directors to get involved. He felt that this matter still needed to be discussed, but the shareholders of the board of directors had already decided on the cooperation. They didn¡¯t care about him at all!


    In fact, after the previous failures in Ye Zheng and Ming En¡¯s competition, the people on the board of directors of Ye Group already had many complaints about Ye Zheng!

 Chapter 209 - 209 Chapter 209. Press Conference

    209 Chapter 209. Press Conference


    They were dissatisfied with some of the ways Ye Zheng, the leader, did things. They felt that Ye Zheng lacked the courage to innovate. The contract with Ya Jing was a warning and declaration from them!


    If Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t develop a plan to revitalize Ye Group and promote Ye Group¡¯s decision-making, he would further break the trust of the entire board of directors. At that time, the consequences might not be something Ye Zheng could bear.


    Helpless against Ye Xin¡¯s stubbornness Ye Zheng¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. He sighed and thought with a tired heart if only Shen Min and I hadn¡¯t abandoned that child back then! In any case, it seemed like he, Ye Zheng, would never have a son. Having a daughter was also an additional choice and opportunity.


    As Ye Zheng thought of this, he couldn¡¯t help but recall her tiny figure. He sighed in his heart and nodded helplessly. ¡°You can attend the press conference, but promise me that you won¡¯t delay your reporting!¡±


    Ye Xin smiled in satisfaction when she heard this. ¡°I know, dad. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±


    At 12 o ¡®clock in the afternoon, the conference hall of the Ye Corporation¡¯s office building was full of City H¡¯s economic reporters. They had been waiting here the whole morning because the press conference the Ye Corporation held today would significantly impact the entire news industry and City H¡¯s economic business circle.


    The economic reporter, who was looking straight at the camera, was holding a microphone and recording.


    ¡°Dear viewers of the economic express, good afternoon! I¡¯m today¡¯s stand-in reporter, Xiao Yang. As everyone can see, I¡¯m at the signing ceremony of Ye Group and Xian Du!¡±


    ¡°According to this report, Xian Du Economic Newspaper Office¡¯s branch office in City H (referred to as Xian Du branch office in the future) has been making frequent business movements in City recently. According to the Ye Group¡¯s internal staff, the cooperation between the Xian Du branch office and the Ye Group this time is actually to compete with the Ming En Group for the leading position in their respective business industries! Please follow Xiao Yang¡¯s footsteps and pay attention to today¡¯s City Express!¡±


    The reporter had recorded a lot of similar news broadcasts that fanned the flames and whetted the public¡¯s appetite. After signaling the cameraman to turn off the camera, he turned around and looked at the staff of Ye Group at the main table. He pouted and said, ¡°What¡¯s going on with the Ye Group? Yesterday, you told us about it, but what¡¯s the result? Even now, we still haven¡¯t seen any sign of Xian Du! They couldn¡¯t be having a holiday. I¡¯m still waiting for this news to blow up so that I can complete this month¡¯s target!¡±


    His colleague looked around at the other media present and then at the people on the stage. He shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so! They¡¯ve made such a big scene; it doesn¡¯t seem fake.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the best! Otherwise, I¡¯ll scold them to death. They¡¯ve left us hanging the whole morning.¡±


    As soon as the reporter¡¯s scolding ended, Ye Xin led the company¡¯s relevant person in charge onto the stage. Her makeup was exquisite, and her mannerisms were very elegant and grand. Standing at the organizer¡¯s seat, she raised her hand to signal everyone to look over with a smile.


    ¡°Welcome to our Ye Group¡¯s press conference today, friends from the media. I¡¯m Ye Xin, the main person in charge of this shareholder¡¯s ceremony with Xian Du. Here, on behalf of the Ye family, I welcome teacher Yan An to be a new friend of the Ye family!¡±


    After Ye Xin finished speaking, she faced the spotlights below the stage in joy. The smug smile made her look like an incomparably dazzling existence.


    ¡°Miss Ye, do you mean that teacher Yan An will personally attend the press conference? ¡±


    ¡°So, by Yan An becoming a new friend of the Ye Group, does that mean Xian Du will work with the Ye group? Then how do you explain Yan An¡¯s attack on the Ye family?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Miss Ye, we¡¯re curious about teacher Yan An¡¯s attitude towards Ye group and Ming En now! Can you answer a few of our questions before the people from Xian du arrive?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the contract signing ceremony between your company and silky soft scheduled for 12 o ¡®clock in the afternoon? What do you think of Xian Du¡¯s delay?¡±


    Ye Xin wasn¡¯t afraid of the reporters ¡®tricky¡¯ and ruthless questions. She smiled and slowly took her seat in front of the many cameras. ¡°My friends from the media, please calm down! Since our Ye Group is holding this press conference to answer everyone¡¯s doubts! We can sit down first and slowly chat.¡±

 Chapter 210 - 210 Chapter 210. Confident

    210 Chapter 210. Confident


    The reporters saw Ye Xin¡¯s confidence and calmness, so they put aside their worries about Xian Du¡¯s delay and returned to their seats.


    Ye Zheng stood at the back door of the conference room and heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Ye Xin stabilize the situation. When he turned to look at his secretary, his gaze deepened. ¡°Did the people from Yimen give you a specific time? How do they explain their tardiness?¡±


    The secretary lowered his head in fear and quickly reported, ¡°They came five minutes ago to say that teacher Yan An¡¯s flight was delayed and might be delayed for a while, but they didn¡¯t say the exact time! I don¡¯t think they would dare to delay such an important matter! CEO Ye, please calm down!¡±


    Ye Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the impetuousness in his heart. ¡°Quickly send someone over to confirm the situation! Don¡¯t use your subjective opinion to speculate the customer¡¯s psychology!¡±


    The secretary nodded respectfully and left quickly in her high heels.


    Meanwhile, Ye Xin, who was in the venue, was excited as she tried to play Tai Chi with the reporters! Ye Xin could answer every question they threw out with hidden traps in a graceful and dignified manner.


    Of course, this was also a process that Ye Xin enjoyed and liked. Her proud and conceited personality created her exuberant desire to win and her absolute desire to control things she wanted!


    These were all things that she would usually hide a little. However, Ye Xin no longer wanted to hide it after a few days. She wanted everyone in City H¡¯s business circle to see her capabilities as the only daughter of the Ye Group!


    It would be best to let that man take a good look.


    However, this pipe dream had not even started when it slowly dissipated in the atmosphere of Yan An¡¯s late arrival!


    While the reporters were getting restless and anxious, Ya Jing led a man into the venue!


    As soon as she stepped into the meeting room, she seemed shocked by the crowd in front of her. After a slight pause, she found a good smile on her face. ¡°It seems CEO Ye is looking forward to working with us! Even a signing event like this can be so grand!¡±


    As Ya Jing spoke, she led the man behind her to the main seat next to Ye Xin. She looked around at the media present with a faint smile. When she turned back, she smiled at Ye Xin, ¡°We meet again, Miss Ye!¡±


    Ye Xin tried to sneak her head in the direction where Ya Jing had come in, but when she didn¡¯t see the figure she was looking for, she couldn¡¯t hold her emotions in any longer. ¡°Miss Ya Jing! Is teacher Yan An still behind? Recently, the flights in City H have been delayed. ¡®Airborne people like us are helpless!¡±


    When Ya Jing heard this, she smiled apologetically, and the uneasiness in Ye Xin¡¯s heart slowly grew. ¡°Yes, teacher Yan An is indeed too busy. She just landed, and she¡¯s already rushing to the headquarters! So for this contract with you, I specially invited our Branch Manager in City H to sign the investment agreement with Ye group on behalf of teacher Yan An!


    Don¡¯t worry; the manager can represent teacher Yan An! Miss Ye and CEO Ye should understand our teacher Yan An. You won¡¯t mind, right?¡±


    As Ya Jing spoke, she paid particular attention to Ye Xin¡¯s facial expressions. She felt that even the best Actress wasn¡¯t as good at acting as she was!


    Who knew how much pain and embarrassment was hidden behind that exquisite makeup?


    Ye Xin¡¯s face stiffened. She couldn¡¯t just turn hostile in front of all the cameras. She could feel everyone¡¯s confused and angry eyes, and she felt like ants were gnawing at her!


    ¡®It¡¯s finished!¡¯ That was what Ye Xin thought.


    She had carefully calculated many plans before, but they were all interrupted by Yan An¡¯s unusual way of doing things. It was not a big deal that her methods had failed, but it was so embarrassing that she had laid out such a big net, but the other party had not fallen into it at all!


    It was like using a wicker basket to draw water; it was all for nothing.


    She wanted to prove to the Board of Directors and Ye Zheng that she was capable! As long as their Ye Group had powerful helpers like Yan An and Xian Du, wouldn¡¯t Ming En be defeated by them?


    Yan An¡¯s appearance would also break the public opinion battle of Ye Group losing to Ming En!


    Those alarming accusations and remarks could also be overturned with Yan An¡¯s hands. This was the first horn for the Ye Group to counterattack Ming En!

 Chapter 211 - 211 Chapter 211. An Unexpected Reversal

    211 Chapter 211. An Unexpected Reversal


    However, Yan An didn¡¯t come at all, to Ye Xin¡¯s surprise. She only sent a small branch Manager who might not even have a solid foundation!


    Wasn¡¯t this just teasing the Ye family? Did Xian Du not care about the cooperation with Ye Group at all?


    Countless thoughts and doubts flashed through Ye Xin¡¯s mind at that moment. She even suspected that she had seen Yan An in person that day. It was because Yan An did not appear in any public events.


    Seeing that Ye Xin was utterly stunned, Masaharu laughed in her heart. However, she still deliberately asked, ¡°Miss Ye? Miss Ye!¡±


    Ye Xin snapped out of her daze, but her eyes were dry from the blinding flash of a camera. She forced a stiff smile and said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°When are we going to start signing the contract?¡± The man standing behind Ya Jing seemed dissatisfied with Ye Xin¡¯s attitude as he asked coldly.


    Ye Xin was stunned by the man¡¯s interruption. She could feel the reporters ¡®impetuousness and anger¡¯ from below the stage. She took a deep breath and replied, ¡°The signing ceremony will begin.¡±


    Ye Xin knew that she was in a difficult position!


    In front of so many reporters, was she supposed to lose her manners and loudly question Ya Jing? Why did Yan An not come to sign the contract? Why didn¡¯t she follow the plan she had in mind? She had already planned to use Yan An to make a big deal out of it and directly fight back against Ming En Corporation!


    Ye Xin wasn¡¯t a stupid person. Under so much pressure, stopping losses in time might be the less embarrassing choice.


    Ye Xin, who had suffered a loss in silence, signed her name heavily on the letter of intent! Not only that, but she also had to think about how to appease this group of Wolf-like economic reporters!


    The signing ceremony was completed, but other than the few people Ya Jing had brought with her, there was no applause. Ya Jing wasn¡¯t angry and politely shook Ye Xin¡¯s hand. She smiled and said, ¡°In the future, I¡¯ll take care of Miss Ye more. Happy working with you!¡±


    At this moment, Ye Xin, having a headache, didn¡¯t realize the hidden meaning behind Masaharu¡¯s words of ¡®Take care of you and ¡®Happy working with you.


    Of course, the reporters who chose to remain silent during the signing ceremony weren¡¯t trying to cover up for Ye Xin or the entire Ye Group. The reporters were smart enough to know that they couldn¡¯t afford to offend the Ye Group when they saw their disgusting and despicable faces. This way, they could make things difficult for Ye Group after the event! They might even make a big deal out of it!


    This damnable tacit understanding only completely erupted after the slender members left!


    ¡°Miss Ye! That was not what you said just now! The reason why we rushed over so early in the morning wasn¡¯t to see you guys sign a contract with a branch office manager, okay?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s take a step back. Do you think your contract¡¯s content is worth such a big fuss? Everyone¡¯s time is precious, okay? You have to give me an explanation today!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! What kind of person is she? You lied to us to get us here, but it turns out that you were pretending to do something! To even use teacher Yan An as a gimmick, I think you all want to be famous so much that you¡¯ve gone crazy! Do you think the media is stupid?¡±


    ¡°Miss Ye, we only believed you because you made such a solemn promise! And the result? Is this all you¡¯re giving us? If I dare to write, will the Ye family dare to listen? You¡¯re wasting our time!¡±


    ¡°How is this a waste of our time? The way I see it, they¡¯re just trying to deceive us and give themselves free publicity! What I just did was a live broadcast. How the f*ck am I supposed to change it?¡±


    Faced with the incensed media, Ye Xin wanted to speak up several times, but their loud voices cut her off.


    Ye Xin¡¯s face flushed red with anxiety. Her intuition told her that she had gotten into trouble. Her brain was still spinning at full speed, trying to think of a way to resolve this embarrassing situation!


    Ye Zheng sighed as he walked in from the main entrance. After looking deeply at Ye Xin, he turned to the indignant reporters below.


    He even felt that he should be glad that the media present today were all the famous economic newspapers in City H. There were not many unscrupulous or immoral small newspapers mixed in!

 Chapter 212 - 212 Chapter 212. Entering The School

    212 Chapter 212. Entering The School


    That kind of small news agency seemed here to see the world in chaos. After they went out, they would write nonsense! At that time, money might not be able to buy peace of mind!


    Ye Xin¡¯s eyes reddened as she looked at her father. Ye Zheng gestured for her to calm down with his hand under the table. The Secretary behind her immediately grabbed her hand and led her out of the room.


    Due to Ye Xin¡¯s calculations, this match ended with Zhuang Xian¡¯s complete victory!


    Not only had she successfully infiltrated the Ye group¡¯s shares under Xian Du¡¯s name, but she had also used the opportunity to teach Ye Xin a lesson. With Ye Xin¡¯s conceited, intelligent, and arrogant personality, this low-level yet powerful method was the most effective.


    People with a strong desire for control found it most unbearable when things went out of their control repeatedly!


    A few hours later, Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, sitting together and watching this farce, were in a good mood and ordered a few more cakes! Of course, the main reason was that Li Qin was greedy and took advantage of his sister Xian¡¯s happiness.


    The corners of Zhuang Xian¡¯s lips curved up slightly. In a good mood, she didn¡¯t stop Li Qin from scamming her.


    ¡°I say, sister Xian, you¡¯re so good at this! It¡¯s both sarcastic and powerful. Although it¡¯s a little obscene, the effect is excellent. Hahaha! When I saw Ye Xin¡¯s face, which looked like she had just eaten sh*t, I wanted to save it as an emoji pack! This is so interesting!¡±


    Zhuang Xian heard the words from Li Qin¡¯s mouth and glanced at him indifferently. She raised her hand to turn off the news on her tablet. ¡°If you can¡¯t speak, hurry up, eat more, and stuff your mouth! I don¡¯t mind sitting alone for a while. Translate for me; what do you mean by obscene? This is called using four taels to deflect a thousand catties, borrowing strength to counter strength! If Ye Xin hadn¡¯t intended to use me, she wouldn¡¯t have fallen into such a simple trap.¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s eyes were fixed on the dessert the waiter had just served. He did not say anything and just gave Zhuang Xian a thumbs-up to express his supreme admiration and respect for her.


    It was already past 3:30 on the wall clock in the dining room. Zhuang Xian¡¯s phone rang in her bag.


    She took it out, glanced at it, and then snapped her fingers at Li Qin. ¡°Time¡¯s up; let¡¯s go! I¡¯m still in a hurry for the next face-smacking scene!¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian with hidden bitterness and pain. In the end, he could only say goodbye to the delicious food on the table.


    On the first day of the freshman reporting, the entrance of Saint Capital University was packed with all kinds of luxury cars. This world-famous University with a long history and endless scenery still stood proudly even after the baptism of time!


    As Zhuang Hang drove, he excitedly introduced the Academy to his sister. It was as if his feelings for this place had not faded in the slightest after leaving for two years.


    ¡°I heard from Mom that you¡¯ve changed your major?¡± Zhuang Huai looked at the passing cars and pedestrians and brought his sister into the parking lot on the first floor of the University.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the beautiful school outside the car window and nodded. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t think economics is of much help to me anymore. I want to try a more interesting major.¡±


    Zhuang Hang turned around and looked at his sister. ¡°So you want to go down the path of art in the future? Then you and the third brother will have a lot in common.¡±


    ¡°I hope so. I think I like the feeling of acting. It¡¯s like I can experience more different lives.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she turned around and looked at her second brother.


    Of course, Zhuang Hang would support his sister¡¯s choice. He stopped the car and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s great. The hardest thing to do in life is to understand what you want. I believe that you will make the right choice for yourself.¡±


    Her second brother was as warm and kind as he was in her previous life. He seemed always to be so gentle and determined.


    ¡°Alright, stop daydreaming! We¡¯re already a little late. The teachers would have knocked off if we were delayed any longer.¡± Zhuang Hang smiled at his slightly stunned sister and reminded her.


    Zhuang Xian unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car with a smile. ¡°Then lead the way, my guide brother!¡±


    The warm afternoon sun seeped through the parking lot¡¯s windows as if to light up Zhuang Xian¡¯s gloomy journey.

 Chapter 213 - 213 Chapter 213. Teacher Bai Fan

    213 Chapter 213. Teacher Bai Fan


    Zhuang Xian followed behind Zhuang Hang and looked up at the academic building of the Performing Arts Department of Saints Capital University. It was lovely, and Zhuang Xian had never seen anything like this in her previous life!


    Sighing lightly, the girl recalled some things from her previous life. Suddenly, a voice rang out in her heart. It seemed to say that Zhuang Xian would finally get what she wanted. With her efforts, she could settle all the regrets of her previous life.


    And Zhuang Xian¡¯s revenge was finally on the right track.


    Walking in front, Zhuang Hang continued introducing the Performing Arts course at the Saints Capital University. After a long time, his sister did not respond. He turned to Zhuang Xian. ¡°Xian ¡®er, what are you thinking about? You won¡¯t even agree when I talk to you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian came back to her senses and looked up at Zhuang Hang. She explained with a faint smile, ¡°Nothing much. I didn¡¯t sleep well last night, so I¡¯m a little tired.¡±


    When Zhuang Hang heard this, he chuckled and grabbed his sister¡¯s wrist. ¡°It¡¯s just a few steps. How can it be so tiring? You¡¯re just lazy. Come, let big brother give you a hand.¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and let her second brother misunderstand her.


    The handsome Zhuang Hang was like a gentle and calm senior. He smiled and reached out to grab the wrist of the girl behind him. The girl was also gorgeous. The sunlight shone in from the window behind them as if it was a layer of gentle filter for the two of them.


    If the camera could record this scene, it would be the perfect campus couple drama!


    When teacher Bai Fan came out of the office with Zhuang Jie and An Ye behind him, he saw this scene. As a teacher of the Performing Arts Department, Bai Fan had seen countless beautiful women and handsome men, but this was the first time he had seen such a stunning girl!


    Bai Fan also knew Zhuang Hang. He was a genius who had graduated from the Department of Finance of Saint Capital University two years ago. Even now, there are still stories about him on the internet.


    On the other hand, the girl behind Zhuang Hang made Bai Fan¡¯s eyes light up. It should be known that teacher Bai Fan¡¯s eyes were known as the ¡®fiery golden eyes¡¯ of Saint Capital University. He would never let go of any beautiful woman in any department.


    Of course, there was no derogatory meaning in words. It was just sighing at teacher Bai Fan¡¯s talent and beauty-loving heart!


    ¡°Yo! Zhuang Hang, long time no see! How come you have the time to visit your alma mater?¡± Bai Fan returned to his senses, put down the student register in front of him, and said with a smile.


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s eyes flashed past Zhuang Jie and An Ye behind him. He also smiled and greeted, ¡°Teacher Bai!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned around to look at Zhuang Xian and continued, ¡°I just so happened to bump into you here. I¡¯m bringing my sister, Zhuang Xian, over to register for the Performing Arts Department. Where are you going? ¡±


    ¡°This is your sister? She¡¯s so pretty!¡± Bai fan¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. He didn¡¯t expect Hang to have a younger sister. He only knew that he had a younger brother.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at their teacher Bai Fan and ignored the dark and gloomy expressions of Zhuang Jie and An Ye behind him. She smiled faintly and said, ¡°Hello, teacher Bai, I¡¯m Zhuang Xian.¡±


    Bai Fan was naturally happy to see the girl so polite and dignified. ¡°I heard from the teacher at the Student Recruitment Office that there¡¯s going to be a new female student in our class, and it¡¯s you. That¡¯s great!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned around and went back into the office. ¡°Come in. I¡¯ll settle the procedures for you first; then we¡¯ll go to the classroom together to take a look! By the way, Who is that classmate?¡±


    Bai Fan walked into the office and seemed to have just remembered that Zhuang Jie and An Ye were here, so he hurriedly said, ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll take you to the principal to ask for leave after I¡¯m done here.¡±


    Zhuang Jie saw that Bai Fan was about to go and do something for her, but another obstacle suddenly appeared on the way, and it was the person she hated the most. Her face immediately sank. An Ye, gentle and sensible, quietly pulled on Zhuang Jie¡¯s sleeve.


    An Ye nodded obediently and smiled warmly. ¡°Alright, teacher Bai. You can go ahead with your work. Zhuang Jie and I are not in a hurry anyway.¡±


    When she mentioned Zhuang Jie¡¯s name, she even said it slightly more seriously without leaving a trace. She was deliberately trying to remind Bai Fan of something!


    Bai Fan immediately looked up at Zhuang Jie and Zhuang Hang and tried to find a topic, ¡°You two even have the same surname; what a coincidence!¡±

 Chapter 214 - 214 Chapter 214. Enemies on a Narrow Road

    214 Chapter 214. Enemies on a Narrow Road


    An Ye and Zhuang Jie, who had no choice but to follow Bai Fan back to the office, suddenly made the office lively again!


    An Ye glanced at Hang in front of her and added with a smile, ¡°They don¡¯t just have the same surname! Jie and senior Zhuang Hang are cousins!¡±


    As she spoke, she naturally blocked out a particular person she didn¡¯t want to mention. Looking at teacher Bai Fan¡¯s expression of ¡®I see¡¯, An Ye smiled lightly.


    Zhuang Jie glanced at An Ye, who was beside her. She didn¡¯t understand why An Ye would take the initiative to mention her relationship with Zhuang Hang to Bai Fan! Zhuang Jie glanced at Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Xian, who she had not seen in a long time, and she felt very helpless and frustrated!


    Since she was picked up from the hospital by Zhuang Jing in the past few days, Zhuang Huan had been listening to her mother talk about her uncle¡¯s family and all sorts of ways to complain to the old Madam. She had heard so much that her ears were about to grow calluses!


    Now, whenever she saw Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Xian, she would want to hide far away because she was annoyed! Moreover, teacher Bai Fan didn¡¯t want to know about the Zhuang family¡¯s affairs.


    Of course, Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t understand An Ye¡¯s little schemes. Although she was a little clever, she was nothing in front of someone like An Ye, who was good at disguising herself!


    If she wasn¡¯t good enough, she could only be a foil to her ¡®good friend¡¯ An Ye and be used by her.


    How could An Ye not know Zhuang Jie¡¯s frustration? She was deliberately trying to show that she was very familiar with the people in the Zhuang family in front of Bai Fan, especially with the once-glorious and now still-popular Zhuang Hang in the University of the Capital!


    ¡°Brother Zhuang Hang, are you not angry about what happened last time?¡± As An Ye spoke, she tried to observe Hang¡¯s facial expression. Seeing that he didn¡¯t talk, she continued, ¡°What happened last time was a misunderstanding. I was sick that day and didn¡¯t mean to make you angry! You won¡¯t hold a grudge against a patient like me. Can you forgive me this once?¡±


    Zhuang Hang looked at An Ye¡¯s aggrieved expression and furrowed his brows. What was this woman trying to do? She had the nerve to bring up the things she had done in public. This was something he had not expected.


    She didn¡¯t seem ashamed or uneasy about what happened that day, as if it was just an insignificant matter!


    Zhuang Hang paused for a moment and didn¡¯t have time to answer An Ye¡¯s question. However, in the eyes of the others in the office, he and An Ye didn¡¯t look so innocent!


    An Ye looked so pitiful and lowly!


    Did she and Zhuang Hang quarrel? Otherwise, why would she say those words in public and apologize to a man in public? And he kept calling him ¡®brother¡¯ and ¡®senior¡¯!


    Zhuang Xian naturally didn¡¯t miss the gossip in these people¡¯s eyes. Of course, she also knew An Ye was again interested in her second brother.


    Her second brother might be on guard against An Ye now, but that didn¡¯t stop her from using her second brother to gain some fame in her studies and life at Saint Capital University!


    However, with Zhuang Xian around today, her little tricks were destined to fail.


    ¡°What are you talking about, Ms. An? You¡¯re making it sound like my second brother is very close to you. But I¡¯m really curious, how do you have this face? You¡¯re just a girl; how could you have the nerve to bring up such a disgusting thing that happened the other day?¡± Zhuang Xian looked at An Ye coldly and asked in a relaxed and curious tone.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice was loud enough for everyone in the office to hear.


    An Ye did not panic when Zhuang Xian opened her mouth to undermine her. After looking at her coldly, she pretended to be weak and aggrieved and said, ¡°Zhuang Xian, I don¡¯t understand what you mean by that. I want to apologize to brother Zhuang Hang! How can you say that about me?¡±


    ¡°My second brother is a gentleman and doesn¡¯t want to argue with you about those disgusting things. I advise you to be more tactful! Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t mind helping you become famous at Saint Capital University. Since you want to scheme against others so much, I¡¯ll let everyone see what kind of person you are!¡±

 Chapter 215 - 215 Chapter 215. Pursuer

    215 Chapter 215. Pursuer


    An Ye did not expect Zhuang Xian to be so direct today. In front of so many people, she did not care about her image at all. This aggressive and vicious look was really like a wolf protecting its food!


    At the same time, An Ye also knew that Zhuang Xian had something against her. If she continued to argue with her, it would be of no use to her. Her plan would be in vain, but An Ye did not feel discouraged. Instead, she thought this might be an excellent opportunity to fight back against Zhuang Xian.


    An Ye still didn¡¯t know that the last person who had such thoughts was still cleaning up the mess because of her little schemes!


    An Ye was a person who knew when to retreat, but Zhuang Jie, who was standing beside her, was not willing to give up!


    Hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s arrogant words, Zhuang Jie was immediately unhappy. She stepped in front of An Ye and said sternly, ¡°What do you mean by that? What do you want to do to us? Let me tell you, Zhuang Xian, I¡¯m not afraid of you! You¡¯d better be careful!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Zhuang Jie¡¯s warning, the corners of her lips slowly curled up into a smile. However, before she could refute Zhuang Jie, she was interrupted by her second brother.


    ¡°Zhuang Hang! Mind your words! Who are you telling to be careful in front of me? Xian ¡®er saved your lives at the restaurant last time. Is this how you plan to repay her?¡± Zhuang Hang looked at Zhuang Jie with a frown and said in a cold tone.


    As he spoke, he turned to look at An Ye, who was pretending to be wronged and weak, and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll also give you a piece of advice, Miss An. I don¡¯t like you! Please don¡¯t stick to me for no reason. In the future, please pay more attention to your words and actions! Is that ok?¡±


    Zhuang Hang wasn¡¯t a stupid person. He didn¡¯t expect An Ye¡¯s actions to have such a layer of calculation. However, after his sister¡¯s reminder and the incident at Lanwei, he knew this girl wasn¡¯t as simple as she appeared to be.


    As a man and an older brother, how could he let his sister protect him repeatedly?


    Zhuang Hang felt that such a brutal and disgusting person was extraordinarily childish and disgusting! That was why he didn¡¯t care that so many people were in the office and directly said those impolite words to An Ye!


    Firstly, he wanted to get things done once and for all so An Ye would no longer bug him. Secondly, he wanted to announce his attitude to those watching the show. He didn¡¯t want to hear any more gossip in the future!


    If it were any other girl who heard Zhuang Hang¡¯s words, they would feel unfortunate and hurt about their self-esteem. After hearing it, they would probably run away in tears. However, An Ye was not that kind of girl.


    Her eyes turned red, and large drops of tears fell freely. An ye initially had a very pure and charming appearance, but this aggrieved and pitiful look immediately won the pity of all the men present!


    An Ye¡¯s acting skills had always been superb. Zhuang Xian had always felt she should be in the acting department, not the Dance Department! What a waste of talent!


    ¡°I just like brother Zhuang Hang; why do you have to say that about me? Is it because I like you that you can humiliate me unscrupulously?¡± An Ye¡¯s big eyes were filled with tears and grievances as if Zhuang Hang was the scumbag who had abandoned her.


    The girl¡¯s voice choked with sobs as she continued to cry, ¡°I know! At most, I won¡¯t like you anymore, and I won¡¯t bother you anymore!¡±


    Finally, someone in the office couldn¡¯t stand Zhuang Hang¡¯s behavior. A boy with a cold face shouted at Zhuang Hang, ¡°I say, brother, are you a man? The young lady likes you. You don¡¯t have to go so far! Would you die if you rejected her tactfully?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! I couldn¡¯t stand it from the start. Isn¡¯t this bullying? She¡¯s talking to you nicely and wants to ask for your forgiveness. Can¡¯t you be more generous and say something nice? You think you¡¯re so charming by not letting go?¡±

 Chapter 216 - 216 Chapter 216. The Hero Saves The Beauty

    216 Chapter 216. The Hero Saves The Beauty


    ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t cry! It¡¯s not worth it for this kind of man! Just ignore him. In the future, there will be better ones.¡±


    Bai Fan and several other teachers in the office saw that the situation was not right and wanted to interrupt several times to calm it down, but they were interrupted by the continuous fire from both sides!


    It was even worse now!


    These young men were already hot-tempered and would blush if they said something wrong. When encountering such an unfair situation, he had to help, not to mention this hero saving the beauty.


    Bai Fan suddenly stood up and said with a strong aura, ¡°Alright, alright! This is their own business; what does it have to do with you little brats? If you don¡¯t understand, then don¡¯t interrupt. Be quiet!¡±


    After speaking, he glanced at An Ye, sobbing, and Zhuang Jie, comforting her with a tissue. Teacher Bai Fan felt a headache. This An Ye didn¡¯t look like a simple character. She was a ¡®good actress¡¯!


    Zhuang Hang had gotten himself into trouble.


    That¡¯s right, as a famous teacher of the Performing Arts, teacher Bai Fan had already seen through the problem!


    In an academic environment like theirs, where there were many handsome men and beautiful women, this kind of thing happened a lot. There was no need to talk about beautiful women and handsome men quarreling. It was simply pleasing to the eye! Our teacher Bai Fan can very responsibly say that it¡¯s just as troublesome and annoying!


    Beautiful people could also be dishonest people. For example, the person in front of her was a new dance department student- the beauty An Ye.


    Bai Fan saw that a few students who wanted to watch the fun had been stopped by him and was about to say a few more words to An Ye, but Zhuang Xian spoke first.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the boys fighting for An Ye with amusement. She raised her eyebrows and laughed. ¡°The act of a hero saving a beauty is wonderful, and everyone wants to do it! But you have to understand first whether this beauty is worth saving! When you were in primary school, you all got full marks for your essays, right?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Some of them seemed unconvinced as they looked at Zhuang Xian with a stiff faces!


    Zhuang Xian crossed her arms and looked at them without showing any weakness. She sneered and said, ¡°It¡¯s what it means literally!


    All of you who keep your mouths shut are men. What do you want? It¡¯s just a small matter, don¡¯t hold it against me! Why? If you don¡¯t speak, will people think you¡¯re mute? You¡¯ve only read a few books, and you¡¯re here to preach! Fortunately, it didn¡¯t happen to you. You were happy to watch the fun, but you want to kidnap others with morality just by talking? Is there such a simple and stupid thing in the world?


    My second brother doesn¡¯t need to be taught by people like you!


    What¡¯s wrong with being a man? Can¡¯t a man reject a pursuer he doesn¡¯t like? Don¡¯t force your dirty thoughts on others. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking. Just because you guys like her doesn¡¯t mean that other people will be blind to like her!¡±


    When An Ye saw that Zhuang Xian had scolded the person who had protected her, she immediately wanted to talk back with tears in her eyes!


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at her, and before she could say anything, she sneered and interrupted, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re not afraid that I¡¯ll tell everyone about you!


    Did you say you like my second brother? And in front of everyone, you pretended to be a pitiful victim!¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she furrowed her brows slightly as if she was a little confused. ¡°But, wasn¡¯t the person you confessed to last time my third brother, Zhuang Huai? I¡¯ve seen you making eyes at him! Oh Yingying ¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she dragged out the last ¡®Oh¡¯ as if she had suddenly realized something. She pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°So, you said that you liked the people from the Zhuang family when you met them?¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed sarcastically and looked at An Ye with disdain. ¡°This method of casting a wide net to fish for a rich husband is not bad. I wonder which famous family it came from?¡±

 Chapter 217 - 217 Chapter 217. A War of Words

    217 Chapter 217. A War of Words


    The young men standing at the side, still fantasizing about ¡®saving the damsel in distress, now had their mouths slightly agape as they looked at Zhuang Xian in shock. Her mouth was like a machine gun, directly sweeping the entire scene!


    Zhuang Hang had seen his sister¡¯s power before, but today¡¯s performance exceeded his expectations. Xian ¡®er¡¯s mouth was so sharp that it could attack indiscriminately. Was she trying to imitate Zhuge Jie¡¯s war of words?


    A lot of weird thoughts flashed through Zhuang Hang¡¯s mind. He felt it didn¡¯t seem very good to describe it this way!


    But on second thought, he felt that it was suitable! He could not catch up to Xian ¡®er¡¯s combat power!


    Teacher Bai Fan, standing in the middle of the battlefield, was also stunned. He glanced at the dumbfounded youths and then turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who had announced the end of the first round and had ¡®Called for a retreat¡¯. His eyes shone with extremely dazzling light!


    Zhuang Xian seemed to have felt something and turned to look at Mr. Bai. She seemed to see big golden words in his bright eyes, which were¡­ ¡®The young woman is eloquent!¡¯


    Zhuang Xian, ¡®What?¡¯


    Could this Mr. Bai also be a temperamental person? Such a thought flashed through Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind, but she was quickly attracted by An Ye and Zhuang Jie, who was stammering and unable to say anything.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, Jie, don¡¯t go overboard!¡± An Ye¡¯s terrifying eyes were red. Her little face, which had been trying to act pitifully to gain sympathy, had now turned into the color of pig liver by Zhuang Xian¡¯s fierce combat power!


    Zhuang Xian smiled sarcastically and replied, ¡°Too much? I¡¯m just telling the truth!¡±


    As she spoke, she glanced at the few boys standing in the distance, who were also red in the face from her words. ¡°You guys like to be reasonable and loyal, and what I said is not unreasonable. Is there anything else you¡¯re not convinced about? I¡¯ll accompany you to the end.¡±


    When these people saw that Zhuang Xian was so powerful, they naturally wouldn¡¯t understand if they didn¡¯t win. Moreover, it was apparent that teacher Bai Fan beside her was protecting her. If they continued to make trouble, the matter would only worsen. In the end, it would not be easy to clean up.


    They initially wanted to speak up for An Ye, but who would have thought they would offend an even more beautiful woman?


    Zhuang Jie stood beside An Ye and wanted to talk back, but An Ye pulled on her sleeve with red eyes. She looked at Zhuang Jie aggrievedly and said in a choked voice, ¡°Let¡¯s leave this place, Jie. I don¡¯t want to stay here anymore.¡±


    Zhuang Jie knew An Ye had suffered such a significant grievance and must be very sad. Other than feeling heartache, she was angry at Zhuang Xian for bullying her.


    She pointed at Zhuang Xian and threatened her coldly, ¡°You wait Zhuang Xian. I won¡¯t let this matter rest so easily!¡±


    Without waiting for Zhuang Xian¡¯s reply, she left with An Ye.


    Teacher Bai Fan, standing on the side and watching this farce end so hastily, sighed slightly. He thought it was OK if they wanted to end the show, but he had a headache because of the commotion. This An Ye and Zhuang Jie were not simple people either!


    And Zhuang Xian, who had directly scolded a group of people and made them retreat, was simply a super debate talent! Teacher Bai Fan had always cherished talents, and such a good resource must not be wasted. Didn¡¯t the first-year students of the Academy also need to form a debate team? They needed a talent like Zhuang Xian!


    Teacher Bai Fan, whose thoughts were very active, didn¡¯t even hear Zhuang Xian calling him. He only came back to his senses after Zhuang Xian raised her voice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Seeing that Mr. Bai had returned to his senses, Zhuang Xian smiled and repeated what she had just said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Bai. This is the first time we¡¯ve met, and we¡¯ve already encountered such a situation! That An Ye is too much. My second brother rejected her, but she still came over whenever possible. She¡¯s making us so annoyed! I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt it was necessary to be polite to Bai Fan, a direct teacher. After all, she was the one who had caused a stir in his office just now. Although she was targeting An Ye, Zhuang Jie, and those few people who dared to speak arrogantly to her second brother, teacher Bai Fan had never offended her.

 Chapter 218 - 218 Chapter 218. Leave of Absence? Impossible

    218 Chapter 218. Leave of Absence? Impossible


    Hearing this, Bai Fan felt that Zhuang Xian was a good child. She was decent and thoughtful and was indeed very likable.


    ¡°Forget it; it¡¯s not a big deal,¡± he said with a faint smile.


    As he spoke, he handed the documents on the table to Zhuang Xian. ¡°I¡¯ve already settled your admission. If you want to go to the dormitory, you can ask Zhuang Hang to take you there. Block F of the girls¡¯ dormitory belongs to you, freshmen. Someone will help you arrange it when you go there! That¡¯s right, gather at the Academy tomorrow morning. The new students of this batch will be undergoing 20 days of military training from the school and the military.¡±


    Bai Fan had just finished speaking, and Zhuang Xian had not even had the chance to agree when Zhuang Hang, who was standing at the side, said first.


    ¡°20 days?¡± he asked in surprise. ¡°Why is the Academy¡¯s military training so long this year? Wasn¡¯t it only ten days last year? And from what you¡¯re saying, it seems like this is an agreement between the Academy and the military?¡±


    Bai Fan exaggeratedly spread out his hands and said with a similarly speechless expression, ¡°You also think it¡¯s unreasonable, right? I see that the brains of those old men in the Academy are getting worse yearly. They have nothing better to do!¡±


    The whole office was filled with muffled laughter. Only a capable person like teacher Bai Fan would dare to scold the school¡¯s decision directly.


    As the instigator of all this, Zhuang Xian could only stand behind her teacher and her brother, pretending to be well-behaved, as if she didn¡¯t know anything.


    Zhuang Hang looked at Mr. Bai and smiled helplessly. Although he was speechless about the school¡¯s arrangement, it seemed like he could only accept it.


    He turned around and gave his sister a look that said, ¡®Good luck. The second brother believes that you can do it.¡¯


    As he spoke, he looked back at Bai Fan and chuckled, ¡°Thank you for today, Mr. Bai. I¡¯ll bring my sister over to take a look at the apartment¡¯s location first?¡±


    Bai Fan nodded, looked at Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Xian, and replied with a smile, ¡°Then you guys should hurry up. Any later, and the teachers will be off work!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she pretended to be confused and asked, ¡°Mr. Bai, I have another question! Didn¡¯t Zhuang Jie want to take a leave of absence just now? Is our Academy¡¯s military training a place where you can take a leave of absence just because you want to?¡±


    Bai Fan was stunned. Although this was the truth, it wasn¡¯t good to say so directly. It didn¡¯t sound good.


    Bai Fan smiled and explained, ¡°You can¡¯t say that. The school has its own rules. The freshman military training is recorded in the student¡¯s graduation file and semester score assessment. You can¡¯t just say that you don¡¯t want to participate! Of course, our school will still have to consider the student¡¯s safety if the student has special circumstances!¡±


    As he spoke, he saw Zhuang Xian nod, so he added, ¡°I don¡¯t have the authority to apply for leave for a student. At most, I¡¯ll take her there and let her talk to the person in charge of the military training. That¡¯s the procedure. So, what you said about taking leave whenever she wants is not quite possible!¡±


    ¡°Oh, I see. Then I can rest assured!¡± Zhuang Xian smiled obediently.


    Naturally, she didn¡¯t finish her sentence. She thought she had gone through so much trouble begging her grandfather for help. She wanted to use this military training to ¡®train¡¯ Zhuang Ye, An Ye, and Ye Xin, who she ¡®valued¡¯ and ¡®favored¡¯ the most!


    The show had not even started yet. How could she allow someone to leave halfway through trying to play tricks and not attend the military training conference? Of course, that was impossible!


    Fortunately, Saint Capital University had such a perverted and strict leave-taking system. Otherwise, she would have to find a way herself.


    After settling the matter, Zhuang Xian and her second brother bid farewell to teacher Bai Fan. As they walked out of the Performing Arts Faculty building, they happened to bump into Ye Xin, who was walking in their direction.


    It wasn¡¯t that enemies didn¡¯t meet!


    Enemies always meet on a narrow road. Even Zhuang Xian wanted to sigh. What a coincidence.


    When Ye Xin saw Zhuang Xian, she had no particular expression. In her eyes, Zhuang Xian was just the adopted daughter of an enemy company¡¯s CEO. She might have some ability, but she never really saw Zhuang Xian as her enemy. She still felt that Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t qualified enough!


    When Zhuang Hang saw Ye Xin, he naturally did not give her a good face. Of course, he knew that Ye Xin was Ye Zheng¡¯s only daughter. This father and daughter pair were both competitors of the Ming En group.

 Chapter 219 - 219 Chapter 219. Enemies on a Narrow Road

    219 Chapter 219. Enemies on a Narrow Road


    City H¡¯s economic news that afternoon even broadcasted the farce of Ye Xin¡¯s contract signing ceremony.


    At the thought of this, Zhuang Hang felt delighted. Although he didn¡¯t know why Xian Du was cooperating with the Ye Group, he was happy to see the Ye Group suffer!


    The choice of words and tone used by the city¡¯s economic news reporter did not sound friendly. It seemed that he was full of resentment. Not only did the Ye Group lose face this time, but they also offended a group of news reporters. It wasn¡¯t good for both side.


    Second young master Zhuang had also heard from a few friends in the news industry that Ye Zheng was still trying to keep the peace even after such a situation had happened. His expression was as if he had eaten sh*t, and they wanted to laugh at him.


    The Ye family¡¯s little thoughts made them seem a little stupid. If you did it and it was effective, then people would naturally be convinced by them. But their failure was a little funny, so you can¡¯t blame others for laughing at you.


    Although Zhuang Hang looked down on the people of the Ye family, he would not be like the people on the side, making things difficult for them and mocking them in the street!


    The new economics department students of the Saints Capital University were not supposed to register at the Performance Department building. Because their teaching building had been renovated some time ago and could not be used for the time being, they changed it to the nearest Performance Department building.


    The students in this department had the freest time every day and loved to pay attention to all kinds of news and gossip. They were also the ones who wanted the world to be in chaos the most. Now that they saw Ye Xin, the person involved in the news, how could they not be excited?


    ¡°Yo! Isn¡¯t this the young lady of the Ye family who was on the City H economic news today? Have you cleaned up the mess in your family?¡±


    ¡°What do you think? Doesn¡¯t it feel good to be a star? My Dad said that the Ye Group had lost face this time. They came up with such a stupid move!¡±


    ¡°But if you say that this is Miss Ye¡¯s plan, I don¡¯t think anything is wrong! After all, you¡¯re a ¡®newbie¡¯ in the business circle! It is normal to be stupid! Hahaha!¡±


    Ye Xin looked indifferently at these wealthy young masters and ladies who were making fun of her and pretended not to care about them.


    The most incredible pride of these childish and ridiculous people was only their oral pleasure. To her, there was no actual harm.


    This was the only way Ye Xin could comfort herself to suppress the violent anger in her heart and the urge to curse! She had only made a mistake and a small error at that. What right did these idle people have to judge her?


    ¡°Are you guys done? Do you know what you look like right now?¡± A deep male voice suddenly came from behind them.


    Zhuang Xian turned her head. After seeing who it was, a disdainful smile appeared on her face. She had done it so discreetly that even Zhuang Hang, beside her, did not notice.


    Zhuang Xian thought, ¡®It¡¯s good that this adulterous couple came together. It saves me the trouble of taking revenge on them individually!¡¯


    However, Gao Peng¡¯s heroic posture was still so old-fashioned and vulgar. Not to mention that there was nothing new about it. It was greasy and disgusting.


    ¡°You¡¯re like old shrews who gossip about others at the village entrance! So many people bullying a junior; what kind of ability is that? All of you are so free. Have you finished your homework?¡± Gao Peng walked over very slowly, like a lone turtle. He thought he was handsome.


    Zhuang Xian lowered her head and smiled faintly. When she thought about her past and present life, she felt it was a little ironic and ridiculous.


    Because in her past life, the person who was saved and captured by Gao Peng with this move was Zhuang Xian herself!


    At this thought, Zhuang Xian wanted to return to the past, grab her silly self, and wake herself up. She wanted to see how disgusting this Gao Peng, who was kind on the surface but was selfish and sinister, was.


    When Zhuang Hang turned around to look at his sister, he realized that something was wrong with Zhuang Xian. He said softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Xian ¡®er? What are you thinking about?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and smiled at her brother. She did not want to look at these two disgusting people anymore. ¡°Let¡¯s go, second brother!¡±

 Chapter 220 - 220 Chapter 220. Ye Xin And Gao Peng

    220 Chapter 220. Ye Xin And Gao Peng


    When Gao Peng walked over, he saw these people surrounding Ye Xin and talking nonsense. Naturally, he also classified the Zhuang siblings, standing not far away and watching the show, as unkind and unfriendly juniors!


    ¡°You two, stand there and don¡¯t move! You can¡¯t you leave until I¡¯ve finished speaking? Don¡¯t you have any respect for me, your senior? After scolding the female classmate, you want to leave without apologizing?¡± Gao Peng looked at Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and shouted.


    He saw them as the same as freshmen who were easy to bully.


    Zhuang Hang frowned and smiled. When he looked back at Gao Peng, he said, ¡°Whose senior are you? Not to mention that your brain isn¡¯t working well. Don¡¯t you have eyes? Did you see us bullying her? Do you think you¡¯re very powerful?¡±


    Only then did Gao Peng realize that the person he was scolding was Zhuang Hang. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Senior Zhuang Hang, it¡¯s you! I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I thought you were like them, bullying the little girl together! I¡¯m sorry, senior; you can return to work!¡±


    As he said this, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian and was stunned.


    His slightly widened eyes were filled with Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful face. Zhuang Xian¡¯s aura was also very outstanding. He had been observing Ye Xin and Zhuang Hang all this time, so he didn¡¯t notice that there was such a beautiful girl by Zhuang Hang¡¯s side!


    Feeling that Gao Peng¡¯s eyes were not normal, Zhuang Hang stood in front of his sister and said, ¡°What are you looking at? Keep your dog eyes shut and don¡¯t look at what you shouldn¡¯t, understand?¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at her second brother. She felt his attitude towards Gao Peng was unfriendly, unlike when they first met.


    After Zhuang Hang finished speaking, he looked at Gao Peng coldly, turned around, and left with Zhuang Xian.


    After Zhuang Xian¡¯s figure had disappeared entirely from sight, Gao Peng only returned to his senses. He snorted proudly as he watched the few juniors who had surrounded Ye Xin and mocked her earlier run away after finding an opportunity.


    He looked at Ye Xin, the only one left, and said with a faint smile, ¡°Are you okay? Don¡¯t stoop to the level of those children; they¡¯re very childish; don¡¯t take whatever they say to heart!¡±


    If Zhuang Xian also cast aside the memories of her previous life, Gao Peng in this life would still be a good person who would help when he saw injustice!


    Gao Peng¡¯s image was not that bad. Although he was not as handsome as the three Zhuang brothers, he had a dignified appearance and knew how to do things, especially when he was gentle and considerate to all kinds of girls, which few girls could resist!


    In her past life, Zhuang Xian lacked love and was innocent and cute. How could she be Gao Peng¡¯s opponent? For Gao Peng to be able to make Zhuang Xian fall for him, he was not useless.


    Take Ye Xin, for example. Although she wasn¡¯t in a good mood, how could she not feel anything when faced with a heroic and gentle senior who spoke up for her?


    Ye Xin looked at Gao Peng and smiled, ¡°Thank you for speaking up for me, senior. They went too far. I wouldn¡¯t know what to do if you didn¡¯t appear!¡±


    Gao Peng laughed at her words, pretending to be generous and gentle as he said, ¡°As long as you¡¯re fine, that¡¯s all that matters. Which department are you from? Are you going to report?¡±


    Ye Xin nodded and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m Ye Xin, a new student from the Finance department. I¡¯m indeed here to report.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this! I¡¯m Gao Peng from the third year of the music department; nice to meet you!¡± Gao Peng said, raising his hand to signal Ye Xin to go upstairs. He then continued, ¡°Then hurry up and go up! You came so late, and the teachers would be leaving soon! Do you know how to get to the classroom? Do you need me to help take you up?¡±


    Ye Xin thought for a moment and realized she wasn¡¯t familiar with the way. She looked at the enthusiastic and sunny Gao Peng and smiled. Embarrassed, she said, ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with this place. Senior, can you point out the way if you¡¯re not busy?¡±

 Chapter 221 - 221 Chapter 221. The Person I Should Meet

    221 Chapter 221. The Person I Should Meet


    The wheels of time had rolled on, and it would not change its course and direction just because of a reincarnated Zhuang Xian.


    She would meet the people she should meet, and the people she should hit it off with would be completed in the long river of time!


    When she saw Gao Peng, Zhuang Xian was a little shocked. She thought that Gao Peng¡¯s fate had begun to change after what she had done previously.


    However, Gao Peng suddenly appeared just a moment ago. His injuries should have mostly healed by now, and he had returned to Saint Capital University to attend classes. He had also met Ye Xin again! He did not miss much of what happened in his previous life.


    Zhuang Xian was sitting in the front passenger seat with her brother, and there was a slight solemness in her brows as if she had something on her mind.


    Zhuang Hang noticed something was wrong with his sister and asked, ¡°Xian ¡®er, what¡¯s wrong with you? I felt something was wrong when I looked at you just now. Why? Do you know that person?¡±


    Zhuang Xian came back to her senses and looked at her second brother. She subconsciously asked, ¡°Who is it?¡±


    ¡°I mean, do you know that Gao Peng? Why do you have a bad feeling when you see him?¡± Zhuang Hang explained.


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback. It was only then that she realized that she had revealed some of her emotions. It was so apparent that even her second brother had noticed it.


    She shook her head and chuckled. I don¡¯t know him. I don¡¯t want to see Ye Xin. The moment I saw her, I was reminded of what the Ye Group did to our family¡¯s company!¡±


    Zhuang Hang chuckled and gently said, ¡°What¡¯s there to be angry about? In my opinion, the Ye Group isn¡¯t Dad¡¯s match.¡±


    As he said this, he skillfully turned the steering wheel around the campus and turned onto the road to the student dormitory. While driving, he didn¡¯t forget to say, ¡°Although the outside world has been abuzz with rumors these past two days that Xian Du wants to invest and cooperate with Ye Group! But I keep feeling that something¡¯s not quite right. Xian Du has always been proud and arrogant; how could she take a fancy to something like the Ye family?


    Even if Xian Du wants to expand its business territory, aren¡¯t there plenty of better options than the Ye group? Don¡¯t we, Ming En, need the Ye family to be stable and robust? I don¡¯t know what the higher-ups of silk are thinking!¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to her second brother¡¯s complaints in silence. She felt a little embarrassed because she was the company¡¯s leader in charge! Zhuang Xian did not expect her second brother to start complaining about her. She smiled helplessly but did not reply to Zhuang Hang.


    In the few minutes that Zhuang Hang complained, they had already arrived at the girls¡¯ dormitory. Seeing Zhuang Hang park the car, Zhuang Xian pushed the door open and got out. She looked up at the beautiful dormitories.


    Li Qin saw Zhuang Xian from afar and walked over in a few steps. He called out in a clear voice, ¡± ¡°Sister Xian!¡±


    Zhuang Hang got out of the car, holding his car keys. He looked up at Li Qin and turned back to Zhuang Xian with a puzzled look, asking, ¡°Who is this, Xian ¡®er?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Li Qin with a faint smile and explained to Zhuang Hang, ¡°Li Qin was a very good friend of mine when I was in the orphanage. He also likes Saint Capital University!¡±


    What Zhuang Xian was implying was that Li Qin was also an orphan. Because of his excellent academic results, he had come to Saint Capital University to study, just like her.


    Zhuang Hang nodded slightly and looked into Li Qin¡¯s eyes. There was a smile and gentleness in his eyes. He raised his hand and said, ¡°Hello, Li Qin. I¡¯m Xian ¡®er¡¯s second brother, Zhuang Hang. You¡¯ll be studying at the same university in the future, so you¡¯ll have to care for each other!¡±


    Li Qin laughed brightly and clearly. He shook Zhuang Hang¡¯s hand and said clearly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, second brother. I¡¯ll take good care of Zhuang Xian!¡±


    Zhuang Xian cleared her throat and interrupted him, ¡°Let¡¯s catch up later. Now, let¡¯s go and settle the matter of moving into the apartment.¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded and walked ahead.


    Zhuang Xian squinted her eyes and looked at Li Qin dangerously, ¡°In front of my second brother, you¡¯d better control yourself. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll screw up.¡±


    This was the first time Li Qin had seen sister Xian being so cowardly. He put on an understanding smile to show that he understood. He would not let his sister Xian expose herself in front of her brother.


    Li Qin was already quite satisfied with his appearance. The identity that sister Xian had given him was pretty suitable. It sounded like he was a good friend of sister Xian¡¯s and very close to her!

 Chapter 222 - 222 Chapter 222. 20 Days

    222 Chapter 222. 20 Days


    When Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Hang were done with their registration at Saint Capital University, it was seven o ¡®clock in the evening when they returned.


    Lin En had been waiting at home for them to come back for dinner. She looked at her precious daughter sitting beside him and asked, ¡°Xian ¡®er, what do you think of the school? Do you like it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian took a sip of the hot pork rib soup and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s good; I like it.¡±


    Sitting opposite his sister, Zhuang Hang added, ¡°Everything about the Saint Capital is good, but the annual military training is so torturous! And it¡¯s getting more and more exaggerated with each passing year. It wasn¡¯t even this exaggerated when third brother entered school last year!¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Hang and asked in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°The Academy¡¯s military training time has been extended again. It¡¯s 20 days this time.¡± Zhuang Hang glanced at Zhuang Xian and pouted. Then, he continued, ¡°I don¡¯t understand what those old fogeys in the Academy are thinking. It won¡¯t affect Saint Capital¡¯s enrollment rate if they don¡¯t play tricks!¡±


    Zhuang Hang was worried about his sister¡¯s military training, and he wanted to complain about the school leaders of the University.


    When Lin En and Zhuang Ming heard this, they were slightly surprised. Lin En glanced at Zhuang Hang, then turned to look at Zhuang Xian and asked anxiously, ¡°20 days! Oh my God, are they training you like soldiers?¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and nodded slightly. Lin En was correct this time. In Zhuang Xian¡¯s suggestion to the old man, she did want the old man to persuade the school to send all the new students to a military base in the suburbs of H city to train the students ¡®physical fitness and spirit!¡¯


    A militarized management system and excellent military training could train people¡¯s physiques and character.


    In fact, from the big picture, this was a perfect thing. Zhuang Xian did not feel that there was anything wrong with her urging the old man to increase the time and difficulty of the military training for the students!


    Of course, she could not reveal this to her family for the time being. This was no longer a matter of hiding her identity. What was more important was Zhuang Xian¡¯s long-planned revenge.


    It wasn¡¯t easy for her to gather a group of her past life¡¯s enemies, so of course, Zhuang Xian had to make good use of this opportunity.


    Seeing that her mother was still worried, Zhuang Xian chuckled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom. Don¡¯t you know my skills? Not to mention it¡¯s just a freshman¡¯s military training, even if it¡¯s for real, I¡¯m not afraid! It¡¯s only 20 days. I¡¯ll be back after you do a few beauty treatments and have more culinary lessons.¡±


    Lin En gently glared at her precious daughter. She thought for a moment and could only nod in agreement. She couldn¡¯t stop her daughter from going to school, nor could she go to military training in her place!


    Zhuang Ming saw that Xian ¡®er had already coaxed his wife and smiled. ¡°Hurry up and eat. Don¡¯t keep talking.¡±


    Lin En glanced at her husband and accused, ¡°You only know how to eat. Your daughter¡¯s school is a big matter, and you don¡¯t even care about it.¡±


    Zhuang Ming, innocently scolded, cried out, ¡°What?¡±


    Mr. Zhuang, who felt he shouldn¡¯t have said too much, immediately surrendered to his wife. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I care about my daughter!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian, sitting beside Lin En, and cleared his throat. ¡°Xian ¡®er, how about we play a game in the study room after eating? I haven¡¯t played chess with you for a long time. Why don¡¯t you try and see if Dad¡¯s chess skills have improved?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback. She looked at Zhuang Ming, not understanding why her father suddenly wanted to play chess with her. She nodded her head lightly and replied, ¡°Alright.¡±


    The moonlight was slightly cold, and the night wind was quiet. From the study room on the second floor of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Ming¡¯s exclamations could be heard from time to time.


    Zhuang Ming looked at the Go board in front of him thoughtfully. Two seconds later, he clapped his hands as if he had just woken up from a dream. ¡°I understand the second meaning of your move! My God, Xian ¡®er, how can you be so smart! I¡¯ve been using my brain for decades, but I can¡¯t compare to you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed lightly and helped Zhuang Ming, ¡°It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t put in the effort, Dad. Tell me, what do you need my help with?¡±


    Zhuang Ming was stunned. The words he wanted to praise Zhuang Xian with were stuck in his throat. He knew he could no longer hide it from his precious daughter, and an unnatural smile appeared.

 Chapter 223 - 223 Chapter 223. Female Go Player

    223 Chapter 223. Female Go Player


    n


    Zhuang Ming pointed at the Go arrangement in front of him and explained to Zhuang Xian, ¡°I have a very important client who Mo Qian introduced. He¡¯s a Go fan from Country R!


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he raised his hand and took a cup of water beside the chessboard. After taking a sip, he continued, ¡°My client has been looking for a great female Go player in Z Country to be the spokesperson for his products. He has contacted many advertising companies but hasn¡¯t found a suitable one! Of course, Dad¡¯s collaboration with them isn¡¯t to help them find a spokesperson. This is just a way for us to express our sincerity to them.


    If we can help them solve this urgent problem, everything else will be solved! They also pay and treat you very well. I see that you¡¯re very good at Go and meet their requirements. So if you¡¯re interested, can you help me with this little thing?¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian with anticipation. After hearing the other party¡¯s request at the company today, Zhuang Ming almost subconsciously thought of Zhuang Xian at home. Wasn¡¯t this just going with the flow? Anyway, Xian ¡®er seemed to want to develop her career in the entertainment industry. This might be a good opportunity!


    After hearing Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian understood what was happening. She slowly opened her mouth and asked, ¡°So, Dad, you¡¯re saying that you want me to go?¡±


    When Zhuang Ming heard this, he felt that Xian ¡®er had misunderstood him. He quickly explained, ¡°Of course, that¡¯s if you like it and are willing to do it.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her father, who was very careful and nodded slowly. She smiled and said, ¡°Sure, it¡¯s not difficult. But I¡¯m going to have military training soon. Will there be a time conflict?¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had agreed, Zhuang Ming smiled and said, ¡°As long as you agree, the timing won¡¯t be affected. I¡¯ll coordinate with them.¡± As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for Zhuang Xian. After solving the problem in his heart, he seemed relieved and began chatting with Zhuang Xian.


    As she walked out of Zhuang Ming¡¯s study room, Zhuang Xian glanced at her phone, which had been ringing several times. It was Mo Qian calling her. Zhuang Xian¡¯s footsteps inexplicably quickened. When she walked back to her room, Mo Qian called her again.


    ¡°Hello?¡± Zhuang Xian took it and said softly.


    Mo Qian¡¯s low and gentle voice came through the phone, ¡°I thought you could rest at this time. Are you still busy?¡±


    Zhuang Xian sat back in front of the computer and replied, ¡°No, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Mo Qian also understood Zhuang Xian¡¯s temper, so he didn¡¯t hesitate to state his intention. ¡°I heard that the Army has taken over the military training at the University! What¡¯s the meaning behind all this seriousness?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Mo Qian¡¯s keen senses were not for nothing! He could consider everything that others couldn¡¯t think of.


    Mo Qian, listening attentively to the breathing on the other side of the phone, noticed Zhuang Xian¡¯s silence. He sighed softly and explained, ¡°I don¡¯t have any other intentions. I¡¯m just a little worried about you. Don¡¯t overthink about it.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian smiled slightly, but Mo Qian didn¡¯t have the chance to see it. ¡°You called just for this? Don¡¯t worry; it won¡¯t affect the progress of my treatment for your leg. I¡¯ll find time to come and see you, or you can come to the military base in the suburbs to find me.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s original intention was to solve the problem of her treating Mo Qian¡¯s leg during military training. However, her words were a little vague, and when they fell into Mo Qian¡¯s ears, they became soft and coy.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the girl in front of him did not realize the hidden meaning in her words, Mo Qian smiled and replied, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come and find you then.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and replied softly, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Early the following day, many military buses arrived at the gate of Saint Capital University. They were covered in mysterious green camouflage and formed a beautiful scene.


    Zhuang Jie initially thought she would arrive earlier today and ask the school teacher for a leave of absence. Yesterday, she and An Ye had been so angry with Zhuang Xian that they drove out of the school. Only then did they remember that they had not done their excellent work.


    It was all Zhuang Xian¡¯s fault for always ruining her plans. She would definitely teach this little b*tch a lesson!

 Chapter 224 - 224 Chapter 224. Im not convinced

    224 Chapter 224. I¡¯m not convinced


    However, how could the swift and decisive military training instructors allow these new students to dawdle?


    They stood beside the teachers of the freshmen and directed the teachers to cooperate with their teamwork.


    ¡°He¡¯s coming! Students from Class 2 of the Performing Arts major, gather here, quick!¡±


    ¡°Music department! This way!¡±


    ¡°Stand still, you guys who arrived first! Is everyone from the Finance department here yet? Hurry up and take your side! Don¡¯t dawdle!¡±


    Zhuang Jie and An Ye, who had just arrived at the gate of the Saint Capital University, were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.


    The entrance of the lecture building was filled with people. There were teachers, instructors, and also reluctant students. They watched as the instructors forced the new students to stand in line.


    Even though everyone¡¯s face were filled with dissatisfaction, it was nothing in front of the vicious instructors!


    For a moment, Zhuang Jie and An Ye had a bad feeling. They looked at each other and wanted to pass through this place quickly, but their teacher¡¯s eyes locked on them.


    ¡°Zhuang Jie! Hurry up and pick a side; you¡¯re the only one in our class!¡± Zhuang Jie¡¯s form teacher was a rigorous and proper female teacher. She hated it when students were late.


    Seeing that Zhuang Jie was still dawdling, she shouted, ¡°Hurry up and come over! Class 1 has already gathered ten minutes ago. Do you want to drag the entire class¡¯s time yourself?¡±


    Zhuang Jie helplessly walked over slowly. She leaned closer to the teacher and wanted to say something, but she was interrupted. ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking. Didn¡¯t you mention it to me yesterday? And you even went to teacher Bai Fan to ask him to plead for you? I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s impossible! The military training this time is different from the usual ones. The principal had said that no new students are allowed to take leave! Don¡¯t even think about it; hurry up and return to the team.¡±


    ¡°But please, my situation is different! I¡¯m seriously ill, and I¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital. The doctor said I needed to rest more and couldn¡¯t exercise strenuously. I¡¯m scared!¡±


    However, before Zhuang Jie could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the other students waiting impatiently!


    ¡°Are you sick? I¡¯m still sick! You know that I have heart disease. Even the teacher won¡¯t let me take leave, so who are you? Hurry up and come over; you think you¡¯re special, you¡¯re wasting everyone¡¯s time!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Did she think that she could have special privileges? Which family in the capital doesn¡¯t have money and power?¡±


    Zhuang Jie looked at the students with a sullen expression, then turned to the teacher and said unwillingly, ¡°So the school is going to abuse our freedom as students? Is it reasonable for you to rule with such power? I¡¯m not convinced!¡±


    ¡°What are you not convinced about?¡± A low and majestic male voice suddenly came from behind Zhuang Jie.


    Zhuang Jie turned around and was stunned by the man¡¯s strong and upright aura. She heard him say, ¡°Children nowadays are always hiding behind their parents and teachers to enjoy their lives. It¡¯s just a simple 20-day military training; you¡¯re all so delicate and fragile. Do you need your mother to feed you every day?¡±


    Lei Cheng looked at Zhuang Jie coldly, then turned his head to look at the noisy student team on the field and said sternly, ¡°Silence! It¡¯s just a gathering before training, and you¡¯ve spent an entire hour. Are you going to wait until it¡¯s dark before you leave?


    Our bureau chief and your school¡¯s principal have agreed. For this military training mission, if any student doesn¡¯t want to go or doesn¡¯t pass the test, they can leave! Our military doesn¡¯t welcome any cowards! I¡¯ve already given you plenty of time. I can only say goodbye to you if you don¡¯t cherish it!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked around the scene and said coldly, ¡°Those who still have objections can step forward! Get on the bus with the rest of the students, and we¡¯ll set off!¡±


    Looking at this group of silent but slowly moving freshmen, Lei Cheng snorted coldly in his heart and thought, ¡®How difficult can it be to subdue a few children who still reeked of their mother¡¯s milk?¡¯

 Chapter 225 - 225 Chapter 225. The Military Base

    225 Chapter 225. The Military Base


    s could never keep up with the changes in the situation.


    The two weren¡¯t the only ones with a blank look on their faces. Ye Xin, who had arrived late, also had the same look. Her teacher had also reprimanded her for being late. Under the gazes of the entire class, she followed the team with confusion and doubt!


    Ye Xin was much brighter than Zhuang Jie. She remained silent under the disgruntled gazes of the teachers and students! When they didn¡¯t understand the rules, intelligent people always wanted strove to understand the rules and then use them.


    The Finance department of Saint Capital University wasn¡¯t a top-tier ace. Compared to other courses, the best course at Saint Capital University was their Performing Arts course!


    Most of the students in the Saints Capital who were the proudest were from the Performing Arts course!


    Therefore, the small number of Finance students couldn¡¯t be assigned to a single military bus.


    Zhuang Xian and her classmates, who had already gathered around her, sat comfortably on the bus. With a single glance, she saw Ye Xin walking past the bus¡¯s window!


    This wasn¡¯t her plan. No matter how strong Zhuang Xian was, she couldn¡¯t have calculated such a low probability and random thing. She smiled and thought coldly, ¡®Enemies meet on a narrow road!¡¯


    Of course, Li Qin also saw Ye Xin boarding the bus for Class 1 of the Performing Arts course. He raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Zhuang Xian, asking softly, ¡°Did you arrange this, sister Xian? Ye Xin isn¡¯t in the same faculty as us. How can we sit in the same car like this?¡±


    Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze and concealed the coldness in her eyes. She said softly, ¡°No, but isn¡¯t this better? It¡¯ll save me the trouble of taking the initiative to look for her.¡±


    The Blue Eagle military base in City H was a mighty and mysterious military base ten years ago! However, with the continuous rise of country Z¡¯s economic strength, the development of City H was also rapid and vigorous. Another, more powerful base gradually replaced this base.


    However, it was not abandoned. Instead, it became a more transparent military base closer to the public¡¯s life! To put it simply, it was an existence that allowed outsiders to come in and visit.


    Therefore, after Saint Capital University and the military communicated, they listened, agreed, and chose this entire field military training for the first time!


    The Blue Eagle Base was massive, and the training grounds it contained were beyond the imagination of the people here.


    More than a dozen military buses lined up neatly and slowly drove into the base, which would give many students nightmares.


    The first thing that welcomed them was the vast and boundless training sand field in front of them.

 Chapter 226 - 226 Chapter 226. Trekking

    226 Chapter 226. Trekking


    When Ye Xin alighted from the car, she sized up Zhuang Xian without saying a word. Thinking that Zhuang Xian hadn¡¯t noticed, she didn¡¯t even hide the coldness in her eyes.


    As soon as she came down the last step of the bus, Ye Xin¡¯s face became covered with sand!


    She raised her hand and waved it a few times in disgust, spitting sand out of her mouth. She looked up and surveyed the general situation around her. If it weren¡¯t for the accompanying instructors and several school leaders, she would have thought that they had come to the wrong place or that this group of soldiers had kidnaped them!


    ¡®How did the Academy¡¯s higher-ups find such a remote place? They were sitting in the office all day and had nothing better to do!¡¯


    The eldest Miss Ye angrily patted the sand on her hair and thought to herself with burning anger.


    Ye Xin wasn¡¯t the only one extremely dissatisfied with this place. Almost all the students chased out of their cars by the teachers and instructors had the words ¡®I¡¯m depressed¡¯ written all over their faces.


    ¡°Argh! My shoes!¡±


    Suddenly, a hoarse scream came from behind the line of the Performing Arts Class 1. It was pronounced in quiet class 2.


    How could Zhuang Xian not recognize Zhuang Jie¡¯s voice? She pretended to follow the crowd and looked toward the source of the voice.


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s exquisite white leather shoes were filled with sand and dust from all directions. The angry and aggrieved Miss Zhuang looked like she had suffered considerable torture and was crying miserably on her delicate face.


    Oh no! It should be the ¡®delicate makeup¡¯ on her face that had been destroyed by the wind, sand, and sunlight!


    Zhuang Jie, who had always pursued exquisiteness and beauty, was now in deep trouble because of her appearance! The exquisite fashion shoes, which were a little out of place in the military training ground, now looked extraordinarily awkward and funny.


    Wang Yu looked at the student who had been in a state of dissatisfaction the entire time and did not want to waste any more time and energy on her! She had already done all the notice she needed to do yesterday.


    Although her classmates were all wearing branded clothes, none of them were as exaggerated as her!


    Today was the first day of military training for the freshmen. Did Zhuang Jie think she was here to participate in Fashion Week? It seemed that she did not take her words to heart yesterday. She deserved what she got today!


    As Wang Yu thought of this, she did not look at Zhuang Jie. She only directed the students behind her to quickly catch up with the front line.


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s face was full of tears. When had she ever suffered like this? She wanted to vent her anger immediately, but no one around her paid her any attention.


    Zhuang Jie, who had no way to vent her anger and could not ask for help, slowly fell behind the freshmen in the Performing Arts course.


    An Ye followed the Dance department¡¯s team and caught up. When she saw Zhuang Jie at the back, An Ye sighed deeply. She left the group and went forward to support Zhuang Jie. She should be glad that the clothes she wore today were casual and suitable for sports.


    Ye Xin felt the same way. Although she hadn¡¯t expected today¡¯s military training to be so exaggerated, she still had a backup plan. She was going into the battle with no burden.


    When all the new students got off the bus one after another and lined up in front of him, Lei Cheng then turned on the big horn in his hand.


    He looked around at the students on the verge of death and said sternly, ¡°All of you, get your spirits up! All of you look like you¡¯re on the verge of death; what are you doing? I can punish you to run 5000 meters for your unorganized attitude!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at the vice-principal standing beside him and continued in a cold voice, ¡°People like you should be thrown into the Army and properly receive the ¡®baptism¡¯ of the Army! Today, even if Principal Huang and the teachers were here, I would still have the same attitude! Since you¡¯ve entered Blue Eagle Base, you¡¯ll be Blue Eagle¡¯s soldiers for the next 20 days! And for a soldier to obey orders is the most important thing!¡±


    As Lei Cheng spoke, he looked up at the blazing sun above his head, and a smirk appeared on his face, ¡°I won¡¯t say any more nonsense! All recruits, listen to my command and head towards the base¡¯s residential area 3 kilometers away from the battlefield! The time limit is 30 minutes! If you are late, there will be no accommodation or military training uniform. Now, let¡¯s go!¡±


    After the young and dignified officer finished speaking, he took the lead and boarded the open-top off-road Jeep at the side. He walked forward, leaving behind the dumbfounded students!

 Chapter 227 - 227 Chapter 227. Instructor

    227 Chapter 227. Instructor


    When the students returned to their senses, they realized that the instructors beside them had already gotten into their cars and left. Suddenly, all sorts of disappointed voices rose from the crowd!


    ¡°Motherf*cker! Was he playing so ruthlessly right from the start? Do you want us to walk three kilometers under such a hot sun? Is there a mistake?¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t have water or umbrellas; how will we get there? I will be suffocated to death by the temperature of this battlefield!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s too inhumane! They should at least give us a decent set of military training equipment! I¡¯m wearing f*cking leather shoes today!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the big deal about leather shoes? I even saw some girls wearing high heels! You should be content!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and leave! I feel like what the instructor said just now was for real!¡±


    The last student hit the point, and his words woke up the dreamer.


    Everyone came back to their senses and did not grumble anymore. They began to rush towards their destination!


    They thought about what the instructor said and guessed that the next 20 days of military training would probably be out here!


    Then, the matter of accommodation on the first day was crucial. Looking at the perverted look of the instructor, it was very likely that they would sleep in the forest or the desert!


    Zhuang Xian looked expressionlessly at her classmates, who were running away in a panic. She was not worried at all.


    However, Li Qin, standing beside her, was disconcerted by the words of those people. He said anxiously, ¡°Sister Xian! Did grandfather give us such a perverted and cruel instructor? I¡¯m a little flustered; why don¡¯t we hurry and leave!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry; instructor Lei only said that to scare them! How could the people from the school let him be so presumptuous? We¡¯ll still be provided with the most basic accommodation.¡± Zhuang Xian said softly and retracted her gaze from Zhuang Jie and An Ye.


    The two of them had already been led by the people around them and had begun to move forward with all their might.


    Zhuang Xian laughed lightly and caught up with the rest of the group. She glanced at Ye Xin, who was not far away from her, and sighed in relief. A good show was about to begin!


    The sand under the scorching sun was too hot. Some students who were wearing sandals were already starting to suffer unspeakably!


    Under the relentless sun, they began to bare their teeth. An Ye and Zhuang Jie were part of this group.


    An Ye¡¯s shoes were fine, but Zhuang Jie her body was not very good! Wearing those shoes and walking on the sand-filled ground, Zhuang Jie¡¯s feet would blister in less than five minutes. If she hadn¡¯t given a portion of her body weight to An Ye, she would have been a complete waste by now!


    Her feet could no longer be seen, and her entire body was red from the sun, like a cooked shrimp.


    ¡°I won¡¯t wear high heels anymore! When I get home, I¡¯ll ask my mother to investigate this Lei Cheng, to see how strong his background is, to dare to treat us like this! Ah! It hurts! Zhuang Jie leaned on An Ye¡¯s support and tiptoed along the road, her mouth constantly muttering and complaining.


    An Ye¡¯s hand that was holding Zhuang Jie was very sore. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhuang Jie was still of great use to her, she would have left her behind long ago.


    Did she think that she had some extraordinary ability? If you had the guts, let her think of a way to change the status quo. Who doesn¡¯t know how to be brave and show off?


    An Ye didn¡¯t show it on her face, but she complained in her heart.


    The temperature was already high, and people were impatient and restless. Who could stand being disturbed all the way? She didn¡¯t want to listen to Zhuang Jie¡¯s nonsense and looked up at the path in front of them. Not far behind them, An Ye saw Zhuang Xian wearing a sun-proof suit and carrying a small backpack.


    Among the students dressed lightly or were the leading players, Zhuang Xian¡¯s equipment looked the most like it was for military training!


    An Ye felt the burning pain on her skin and looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s hoodie with jealousy. Her delicate, beautiful chin was exposed outside the brim of the hoodie, making her look extra refreshing and cool.

 Chapter 228 - 228 Chapter 228. Disgusting Her

    228 Chapter 228. Disgusting Her


    An Ye¡¯s dry throat made her jealous of the water in Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands and the backpack she was carrying!


    She turned her head and looked at Zhuang Jie, who was hanging on her. She calmed down and pretended to be concerned, ¡°Zhuang Jie, are you thirsty?¡±


    Zhuang Jie subconsciously licked her dry lips. ¡°I¡¯m thirsty! But we must at least walk to where we would stay to have water to drink!¡±


    An Ye smiled at Zhuang Jie and pointed at Zhuang Xian in front of her. She suggested with an unnatural expression, ¡°Zhuang Xian brought a backpack, so there should be water inside. Why don¡¯t you take a look?¡±


    When Zhuang Jie heard An Ye¡¯s suggestion, she almost immediately reacted. Her expression turned cold, and she said coldly, ¡°Do you think she¡¯ll give us water even if she has? Don¡¯t be too naive, okay? Yesterday, she scolded and slandered you in front of everyone. Aren¡¯t you angry at all?¡±


    She snorted coldly and turned her face away stubbornly, ¡°I won¡¯t beg her anyway, don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    An Ye swallowed her dry throat and suppressed the anger in her heart. She explained loudly, ¡°Of course, we¡¯re not begging her! We have money, so let¡¯s see if we can buy a bottle from her at a high price!¡±


    ¡°With money? Aren¡¯t you too naive about her? Is she someone who lacks money?¡± Zhuang Jie asked in confusion.


    Seeing An Ye¡¯s silent and slightly aggrieved expression, Zhuang Jie softened her tone. You¡¯re just too kind and naive. Do you think everyone doesn¡¯t hold grudges like you? Zhuang Xian is not a good person; let¡¯s forget about her! There is water to drink when we get to our living quarters! I don¡¯t believe the instructor can make us die of thirst and exhaustion!¡±


    An Ye¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t soft when she made the suggestion. She even raised her voice on purpose. With Zhuang Jie¡¯s voice, she had already achieved half her goal.


    Of course, she knew that with their relationship with Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Xian would never give them the water, nor would she sell it. She just wanted to get her classmates, who were also thirsty like her, to notice Zhuang Xian!


    Putting everything else aside, Zhuang Xian¡¯s comfortable and relaxed behavior in front of these battered and exhausted classmates made her seem out of place.


    Why did you have to be much more comfortable than the others when we were all on the same trip?


    Her carefree and natural attitude would quickly cause the highly frustrated students to feel unfair and jealous!


    They were not unreasonable. They just wanted to use the money they had to buy a bottle of water from her! How could Zhuang Xian not know what was good for her?


    An Ye had read her classmates¡¯ minds and devised this plan!


    She looked at the people surrounding Zhuang Xian, and her eyes turned cold. She felt that since she couldn¡¯t drink Zhuang Xian¡¯s water, Zhuang Xian wouldn¡¯t be able to drink to her heart¡¯s content!


    Even though this little scheme could not do anything to Zhuang Xian, it was not a bad idea to disgust her. An Ye thought about it and lowered her eyes, unwilling to accept this.


    Seeing that An Ye was silent, Zhuang Jie thought that she had been too harsh and made An Ye unhappy. She turned to An Ye and asked softly, ¡°Are you angry, Ye? Don¡¯t be mad at me; look at Zhuang Xian; how could she help us? Even if one used their toes to think, they would know this was impossible! I know you want to drink water. Let¡¯s endure it a little longer, okay?¡±


    An Ye was speechless. Sometimes, she despised Zhuang Jie¡¯s intelligence. How could she not understand such a simple logic? That wasn¡¯t her real purpose at all!


    However, no matter how speechless and helpless she was, Zhuang Jie was still a teammate that An Ye could not offend or abandon for the time being!


    Whether it was for the 20 days of military training or for her to continue using Zhuang Jie¡¯s name to get close to the Zhuang brothers, she needed to maintain a good relationship with Zhuang Jie.


    She already had an enemy like Zhuang Xian, so she could not push Zhuang Jie away from her!

 Chapter 229 - 229 Chapter 229. The Hypocritical Mask

    229 Chapter 229. The Hypocritical Mask


    Even though An Ye¡¯s experiments on Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Huai had failed so far!


    However, wasn¡¯t there still Zhuang Bai, who had never shown her face? She didn¡¯t believe that she couldn¡¯t handle any of the three brothers from the Zhuang family with her ability! Failure wasn¡¯t scary. One had to learn to sum up their experience and start anew!


    It was undeniable that An Ye¡¯s plan had succeeded in her past life. Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Huai had escaped An Ye¡¯s schemes and seduction, but Zhuang Bai had not!


    When Zhuang Bai was in Zhuang Xian¡¯s previous life, An Ye used him thoroughly. How could a mature and successful man like Zhuang Bai accept that a woman had deceived him? Putting aside the massive loss of assets, what made Zhuang Bai extremely depressed was that he liked a woman like An Ye.


    Zhuang Xian had seen her big brother¡¯s depressed look before. Her big brother, who had always been graceful and had an outstanding temperament, had been deceived by a lowly and shameless woman until he was covered in wounds.


    Have you ever seen a proud and aloof wolf being admonished and tortured by others to the point where it lost its pride and the courage in its bones? That was the Zhuang Bai that Zhuang Xian had met in her previous life!


    So, compared to Zhuang Jie, an accomplice, Zhuang Xian hated An Ye, who had no bottom line and conscience! Fortunately, Zhuang Xian had a chance to start over again, so how could she let An Ye go so quickly?


    For someone like An Ye, who was used to disguising herself, it was useless to humiliate or bully her. The best way was to expose her true self under the sun and tear off the fake mask on her face. She would be abandoned by everyone and would no longer be able to act in front of anyone.


    Zhuang Xian noticed that people were slowly surrounding her. She raised her guard and looked over.


    ¡°Is that water in your bag?¡± A boy in a black denim jacket asked as he looked at Zhuang Xian with an unfriendly gaze. A sense of greed immediately emerged when his eyes fell on Zhuang Xian¡¯s backpack.


    When the boy saw that Zhuang Xian was not saying anything and was only looking at him coldly, he suddenly felt guilty. He turned his head to look at the other companions beside him as if he had regained some confidence. ¡°We won¡¯t take your water for free. We¡¯ll give you the money, okay? ¡±


    As he spoke, he seemed to think he was already a boss if he could pay, and his face immediately became smugger.


    He took a hundred-Yuan note from his pocket and handed it to Zhuang Xian. ¡°I¡¯ll buy a bottle of water for 100 yuan. That should be enough. I¡¯m telling you, you¡¯ve earned big!¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he laughed coldly and replied, ¡°Do you think we¡¯re short of your 100 yuan? With your attitude, we won¡¯t give you water even if we have it!¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, he stepped forward and blocked Zhuang Xian with his body. He was half a head taller than her. He looked at the people around them calmly and vigilantly.


    ¡°What do you mean? I¡¯m telling you, I¡¯m not in a good mood today! Don¡¯t provoke me and obediently hand over the water. Don¡¯t force me to vent my anger on you for walking in this damn place for more than 20 minutes!¡±


    The boy in the black denim jacket thought that the other party would leave if he were a little more aggressive. He felt his threat would be helpful, but he didn¡¯t know that he had kicked an iron plate today.


    Li Qin felt it was hilarious to pretend to be fierce. He did not open his eyes to consider whether he could afford to offend the person in front of him.


    However, before Li Qin could even open his mouth to speak, he was interrupted by the people behind the boy.


    ¡°It¡¯s such a hot day. If you have water, quickly take it out! We¡¯re all classmates, and we should help each other! Although brother Tian¡¯s words aren¡¯t delightful to hear, he was forced to do so because of the hot weather!¡±


    ¡°Yup! It¡¯s not easy for all of us. If you have water, then give us a mouthful! How stingy can you be?¡±


    ¡°You guys are from the Acting Department. Why are you so selfish? Aren¡¯t you afraid of embarrassing your Department?¡±


    An Ye and Zhuang Jie took advantage of the time when these people surrounded Zhuang Xian and Li Qin to catch up slowly. Seeing that the situation was exactly as they had expected, a trace of pride flashed across An Ye¡¯s eyes. However, she still had to pretend to be puzzled and stick her head in to see what was happening!

 Chapter 230 - 230 Chapter 230. You Can Try it

    230 Chapter 230. You Can Try it


    How could their little actions escape Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes?


    Zhuang Xian glanced at them out of the corner of her eye. When she turned back, her eyes under the brim of her hat had already become much colder. She said coldly, ¡°Do you guys even understand the current situation?¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed sarcastically when she saw that everyone had stopped talking. ¡°Who told you that I have water in my bag? Did she have x-ray vision? Whether or not I have water in my bag is my business and my own things. I¡¯m not willing to let you guys see or buy it! It¡¯s that simple!¡±


    These people did not understand what Zhuang Xian meant. They were confused by her words and lost their patience. They started to shout, ¡°Who wants to see your bag? We want water!¡±


    ¡°Aiya! Why are you wasting your breath on her? She needs to be taught a lesson! Are you selling it or not? If you¡¯re not selling it, we¡¯re going to rob you! I¡¯m telling you, you deserve to be robbed; you¡¯re so insensible!¡±


    ¡°I advise you to take off your backpack quickly! Otherwise, we¡¯re going to rob you!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, disdain and coldness flashed in her eyes. She looked up at the first person who said he wanted to snatch the item and said, ¡°Then you can try.¡±


    The boys were caught in a dilemma because more and more people were gathering around them. They did not expect that this simple-looking girl would be so tough!


    Being baked in the 30-degree hot weather, they were already frustrated. Now that Zhuang Xian had provoked them, they lost all their rationality and pounced on her.


    The five of them rushed toward Zhuang Xian, aiming for the backpack she was carrying.


    Li Qin had wanted to help Zhuang Xian, but when he saw the coldness and excitement in her eyes, he chose to stay where he was.


    Five people were a small matter. If he insisted on following her, he would disturb his sister Xian¡¯s mood!


    Zhuang Xian did not have the slightest bit of timidity or hesitation. Looking at the first two people rushing towards her, she raised her leg and kicked them a few meters away with a stunning and elegant whip-like kick.


    This male student, wearing a black denim jacket and wanting to vent his dissatisfaction, was sent to the earth by Zhuang Xian!


    When he landed, Zhuang Xian only glanced at the sand and dust he had brought up and noticed that everyone around him had stopped in their tracks. It was as if this mighty and handsome kick had stirred up the remaining sense of reason.


    They weren¡¯t foolish. After they came back to their senses, they quickly understood the situation. The girl in front of them was someone who knew martial arts. She wasn¡¯t someone they could offend by putting on a show!


    This girl could be arrogant!


    Zhuang Xian snorted and said disdainfully, ¡°You don¡¯t have the ability, and you¡¯re still so stupid! I don¡¯t care whose gossip you heard, but you must keep your eyes and ears clear in the future!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she glanced at An Ye, who was helping Zhuang Jie walk forward. After letting out a light breath, she sneered and walked away.


    Li Qin sighed regretfully when he saw that the fight had failed. He followed behind Zhuang Xian. ¡°Sister Xian! Why don¡¯t you teach those arrogant idiots a lesson? When I think of their arrogant looks just now, I feel angry! Do they think this is their house?¡±


    Zhuang Xian retracted some of the coldness in her eyes and glanced at An Ye and Zhuang Jie¡¯s back. Hatred flashed across her beautiful face under the brim of her hat.


    She explained, ¡°Why should I teach these brainless things a lesson? If I wanted to teach them a lesson, I had first to catch these disgusting things using underhanded methods behind my back! I didn¡¯t make things difficult for them, but they¡¯re using dirty tricks to disgust me.¡±


    Li Qin followed the direction of Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze and immediately saw An Ye and Zhuang Jie. He thought for a moment and asked, ¡°So, sister Xian, do you have a plan? If you need me to do anything, tell me!¡±


    In Li Qin¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Xian¡¯s enemy was his enemy!


    ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? The show will only begin when we reach the base¡¯s residential area.¡± Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice was very relaxed and lazy, but her beautiful eyes were gloomy.


    Li Qin nodded silently and did not say anything else. He had always been very obedient regarding Zhuang Xian¡¯s matters.

 Chapter 231 - 231 Chapter 231. The Video of Her Kicking Someone

    231 Chapter 231. The Video of Her Kicking Someone


    Zhuang Jie, enduring the pain in her foot, looked at An Ye, who supported her and only knew how to walk forward with her head down. Finally, she frowned and reminded her, ¡°Why are you walking so fast? Are you worried that Zhuang Xian will come and cause trouble for us? It¡¯s not like we instigated those people to steal her things, so what are you so guilty and afraid of? I will not let her off if she dares to make things difficult for you!¡±


    As Zhuang Jie spoke, she remembered An Ye had taken out her phone and recorded the scene of Zhuang Xian kicking someone. She asked with excitement and curiosity, ¡°Does this mean we have something against her? What do you plan to do?¡±


    An Ye reached for her phone in her pocket and shook her head, saying softly, ¡°I don¡¯t know. Let¡¯s keep it for now. It¡¯ll be helpful! I couldn¡¯t stand Zhuang Xian bullying others so arrogantly, so I took out my phone and recorded it. I wanted to have evidence if anything happened in the future! By the way, listen to me. During the 20 days of military training, let¡¯s not provoke Zhuang Xian!


    With our strength, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to gain any advantage in her hands! Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions are arrogant and conceited. As long as we collect evidence of her evil deeds, we can expose her when we return to the Academy. So, you have to listen to me these days, understand?¡±


    Seeing that An Ye was still so cautious and cowardly even though she already had evidence against Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t help but feel disapproving. However, seeing her good friend¡¯s earnest and well-meaning advice, she could only put aside her dissatisfaction.


    Three kilometers of walking was not that difficult. The 30 minutes given by Lei Cheng were more than enough. If they did not stop on the road and did not try to play tricks, it could be achieved.


    He stood in the shade in front of the dormitory building. Behind his sunglasses, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the battlefield. Sitting behind him was a slightly plump teacher who was covered in sweat. He glanced at the depressed Principal Huang beside him. He held it in but couldn¡¯t help but complain, ¡°It¡¯s just a freshman¡¯s military training! They are all young masters and mistresses who are pampered in their families. Do we treat them like new soldiers? Will there be any problems?¡±


    Although he was saying this to his colleagues, he was saying it for the Chief Instructor, Lei Cheng, and their Principal.


    Although the military training in the past years had been burdensome, it had not been as perverted as this year! There were quite a few wealthy mistresses and masters in his class. How would he explain something to their families if something happened to them?


    It wasn¡¯t that Lei Cheng didn¡¯t hear what this teacher had said; he was just too lazy to respond! Such a teacher spoiled these weak students!


    In Lei Cheng¡¯s mind, the soldiers would not be trained to death! On the contrary, blindly pampering and spoiling the children like this would turn them into useless trash! The task that the old general had given him was not to coax the children.


    Principal Huang looked at that teacher and then at the unmoved Lei Cheng in front of him. In the end, he did not express his tactful opinion.


    Bai Fan waved the fan in his hand, took a sip of the iced Coke, and sighed.


    He disagreed with his teacher¡¯s view. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because they¡¯ve always been pampered that they must cherish this different experience! Students like us who study Performing Arts have to be able to endure hardships and work hard!¡±


    ¡°¡®Really hear, see, really feel¡¯, it¡¯s a proverb from the acting department, do you understand? As long as they don¡¯t give me a dead person, I don¡¯t care about the process! Chief Instructor Lei Cheng, I support you!¡±


    Bai Fan¡¯s hearty voice came from behind Lei Cheng. Lei Cheng paused. He didn¡¯t think there would be a teacher who wasn¡¯t afraid of him. He turned around to look at Bai Fan and coldly nodded his head.


    Bai Fan was speechless. His intuition told him that this instructor was a piece of wood.


    Wang Yu took a look at her old nemesis, Bai Fan. This time, she had the same opinion as him. She also did not like the students under her to be so weak.


    If they couldn¡¯t take any hardship, how would they be actors in the future? Thinking of this, Wang Yu couldn¡¯t help but think of that exquisitely dressed female student. She had a feeling that this girl would be the one who would give her the most headache in the future.

 Chapter 232 - 232 Chapter 232. Freedom Grouping

    232 Chapter 232. ¡®Freedom¡¯ Grouping


    Wang Yu did not expect Zhuang Jie was not the last to arrive. She had been supported by her friend from the Dance Department all the way here!


    Lei Cheng saw the students below him running in this direction in a sorry state. His eyes were fixed on the water on the ground, like the cold eyes of a wolf pack. He nodded slightly in satisfaction, but when the first student tried to reach for the water, he turned on the loudspeaker and shouted, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re all back. Before I give you water, I have a few things to announce!¡±


    The student who was the first to arrive had a bitter expression on his face, which had turned red from the sun. In the end, he retracted his hand and thought it was better to listen to this perverted instructor so that he wouldn¡¯t come up with any more tricks to deal with them.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Lei Cheng on the stage, then turned her head to ask Li Qin, ¡°So you¡¯ve never seen Captain Lei Cheng under the old master?¡±


    Li Qin shook his head and replied, ¡°No, if only we knew each other! Grandpa¡¯s mean in his work; he even dragged us into this, didn¡¯t he?¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled and looked at Li Qin, ¡°It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t been trained before. To think you¡¯re afraid of this level of training? I think you¡¯re just lazy. The lord master didn¡¯t throw you in the wrong this time!¡±


    Li Qin, who had lost Zhuang Xian¡¯s comfort, looked at her with a bitter and resentful expression. It was okay if she didn¡¯t comfort him, but she even hit him when he was down. She was too much!


    Just as Zhuang Xian and Li Qin were whispering to each other, Lei Cheng, who was on the stage, glanced at the students below and said coldly, ¡°The first thing! From this moment on, you students will be divided into groups of five people. There are no restrictions on gender or element, and you are free to form teams! Second, we¡¯ll start the military training mission in the afternoon after lunch! Given your numbers, I will assign a class monitor to manage you for every 50 people. His orders are my orders, understand?¡±


    Seeing that they still looked like they were about to die, Lei Cheng laughed coldly and continued, ¡°Begin grouping! The first to complete the grouping will have priority to enter the dormitory to eat and rest! Those who dawdle in the Army will starve to death.¡±


    When the freshmen heard this, they immediately burst into commotion!


    They had acquaintances looking for acquaintances and friends looking for friends. All of a sudden, the scene was a mess.


    There were a few hundred new students at Saint Capital University this year. Naturally, not all of them had friends. Many randomly picked a few people they didn¡¯t know and entered the dormitory together.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Ye Xin from afar but made no special moves. She was waiting to see if Ye Xin would come over and surrender to her as she had expected!


    Even after everyone on stage had left, Ye Xin did not make a move. She had a nagging feeling that Zhuang Xian had something to say to her or that there was a trap waiting for her to jump into!


    Cowardice and running away from a battle weren¡¯t Ye Xin¡¯s style. She liked to take the initiative instead of being passive!


    She wasn¡¯t afraid of Zhuang Xian, but she felt that Zhuang Xian¡¯s profoundness didn¡¯t match her age. Her curiosity and competitiveness led her to get closer to Zhuang Xian slowly!


    There wasn¡¯t any real hatred between her and Zhuang Xian. The few conflicts they had were all because of some small things or other people¡¯s affairs. She didn¡¯t have any personal grudges against Zhuang Xian!


    However, Zhuang Xian had always seemed to be highly hostile toward her. Ye Xin had been suspicious of her, but she couldn¡¯t figure it out!


    Ye Xin sized up the boy beside Zhuang Xian, and her smart brain began to work!


    They were allowed to form teams as soon as they arrived at the military training. Could it be that the content of the military training or the mission required such a model and that they were to fight in groups? Or something else?


    She thought about how perverted the instructor on the stage was and felt anything was possible!


    Therefore, the free selection of the team members should be carefully made. The reason why Lei Cheng said that just now was actually to hide his real intention and to trick them!

 Chapter 233 - 233 Chapter 233. A Fake Surrender

    233 Chapter 233. A Fake Surrender


    Ye Xin knew that Zhuang Xian was quite skilled. She could tell from how she sent the boy flying with a kick.


    Knowing that she had guessed everyone¡¯s thoughts, Ye Xin couldn¡¯t help but feel a little proud. She glanced at Zhuang Xian, and the corners of her lips curled up. She said with a smile, ¡°I have a good suggestion. I wonder if Miss Zhuang is interested in hearing it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed coldly in her heart as she looked at Ye Xin with a hint of doubt and confusion. There was even a hint of distance and vigilance in her eyes.


    When it came to acting, Zhuang Xian was a hidden expert. All of her reactions were within Ye Xin¡¯s expectations. Naturally, they were also beyond her expectations.


    If she were to express her willingness to accept Ye Xin¡¯s suggestion and her desire to work with her after Ye Xin¡¯s sudden display of goodwill, wouldn¡¯t that be too inconsistent with her image in Ye Xin¡¯s heart? She was too different from her previous persona, and it would be effortless for her to be exposed!


    Ye Xin thought she had seen through Zhuang Xian, so she continued with a faint smile, ¡°You don¡¯t have any friends in the Acting major, do you? I didn¡¯t see you take the initiative to talk to anyone along the way! I don¡¯t have any familiar classmates with me, so why don¡¯t we group?¡±


    Zhuang Xian cast a sidelong glance at Ye Xin but didn¡¯t say a word. Her eyes were distant and disdainful as if she was saying, ¡®What does that have to do with me? Why should I force myself to be on the same team as you?¡¯


    Ye Xin finally understood what Zhuang Xian wanted to tell her. She suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry to reject me! Let me analyze it before you make a new decision, okay?¡±


    Li Qin looked at Ye Xin, then turned his head to look at Zhuang Xian. His head was in a mess as the two wrestled with each other.


    ¡®Weren¡¯t Sister Xian and Ye Xin enemies? What were they doing now? Why did they have to stop and listen to this woman¡¯s nonsense? Shouldn¡¯t they hurry up and find other students to form a team so they can go into the dormitory to rest and eat?¡¯


    Of course, Zhuang Xian would not answer these questions for Li Qin now. She did not know Li Qin had many questions in his heart.


    Indeed, sometimes, it was effortless to be confused when you couldn¡¯t keep up with the speed of others ¡®thinking!¡¯


    ¡°Do you know what the military training in the Saint Capital used to be like?¡± Ye Xin pretended to ask.


    She saw that although Zhuang Xian still had a cold expression on her face and didn¡¯t answer her, she slowly crossed her arms. Although this was a self-conscious rejection of other people¡¯s body movements, it also indirectly showed that Zhuang Xian was already listening to her! Ye Xin thought to herself as she let out a breath.


    ¡°The instructor told us to group up freely as soon as he came up. There must be a trap here. Look at his perverted behavior at the beginning. I feel that this free grouping doesn¡¯t give you freedom. If he has other tricks up his sleeve, I feel we need to be more careful when choosing teammates! The two of us combined should be considered a strong team!¡±


    Zhuang Xian pretended to listen to Ye Xin¡¯s analysis as her gaze gradually softened. She looked at Ye Xin expressionlessly and only asked after a long while, ¡°What makes you think that we¡¯ll be strong if we team up? What ability do you have to convince me?¡±


    Ye Xin chuckled confidently, ¡°I¡¯m smart, and you¡¯re strong. If this isn¡¯t an alliance between the strong, what is it? ¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for the plan, Zhuang Xian would have laughed to death at Ye Xin¡¯s words! Self-confidence was a good thing, but if one were overconfident and didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth, it would be foolish and ridiculous!


    Zhuang Xian suppressed these thoughts and emotions in her heart. After pretending to think for a while, she nodded slightly and replied, ¡°We can form a team, but if you can¡¯t play your role, later on, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless!¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had relented, Ye Xin secretly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡®With Zhuang Xian¡¯s martial prowess, wouldn¡¯t she just be getting free labor?¡¯ Although it was a little challenging, it was worth it if she wanted to live a better life after the military training.


    ¡°Then call the two male students over there. Let¡¯s go in quickly.¡± Ye Xin suggested gently.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she turned her head and glanced at the two boys Ye Xin was talking about. She nodded without saying anything and walked to the front of the line.

 Chapter 234 - 234 Chapter 234. Each With Their Own Thoughts

    234 Chapter 234. Each With Their Own Thoughts


    Li Qin couldn¡¯t figure out the plot¡¯s direction, so he could only follow behind Zhuang Xian in silence. He also slightly restrained his malice towards Ye Xin. He didn¡¯t want to ruin Zhuang Xian¡¯s plan because of his poor acting skills!


    The dormitory that Blue Eagle Base had arranged for the freshmen was in pretty good condition. At least the beds they were to sleep on looked clean and tidy. Although it was a little crude, it was good enough for these poor students who had just survived a disaster. After all, the instructor had said at the start that those who arrived late would not have a place to stay!


    Although everyone realized they had been cheated, they walked in the sand under the sun for half an hour and had no strength to confront Lei Cheng.


    They were still too na?ve. In the coming days, they would know what the ¡®devil¡¯s¡¯ military training was!


    When Ye Xin saw the dormitories assigned to them by the military, she felt her heart crumble. ¡®Were there no gender differences in the five-person dormitory? Was it reasonable for them to live together? Did the School¡¯s head get squeezed by the door?¡¯


    Like Ye Xin, Zhuang Jie, and An Ye were also confused and on the verge of a mental breakdown!


    Zhuang Xian calmly threw her backpack onto the bed at the entrance. Looking at the enormous military gear on the bed, she could already guess what the military would give them next.


    She crouched on the ground and checked the things in her backpack.


    Li Qin pursed his lips and bitterly said, ¡°It can¡¯t be that they want us to cross country on foot, right? This is an old training program that the military has been using for many years. When will they be able to innovate?¡±


    Although he was complaining, his hands had already begun to rummage through his bag and change his clothes.


    Zhuang Xian had already put on her military training uniform and was sitting on the bed, changing into her military boots. The other two male students seemed to be students from the Sports Department. Although they often exercised, they did not have much contact with the military¡¯s training methods.


    When they saw that Zhuang Xian and Li Qin had already started to change, they looked at each other and asked in confusion, ¡°Didn¡¯t the instructor say we could take a break after lunch? The real military training will only start in the afternoon. Why are you all changing your clothes now? Aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡±


    They subconsciously looked at Zhuang Xian, but she didn¡¯t respond. Instead, Li Qin laughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for not warning you, brother. With Lei Cheng¡¯s perverted level, I don¡¯t think he will let us have a happy afternoon nap! Lunch break? Is that even possible?¡±


    Seeing the two of them in a daze, Li Qin glanced at Ye Xin with a faint smile and continued, ¡°That¡¯s why you should prepare as soon as possible and check your supplies and equipment!¡±


    Ye Xin furrowed her brows slightly as her gaze fixed on Zhuang Xian. When she noticed that Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t seem to care about sleeping in separate rooms, she asked in confusion, ¡°Don¡¯t you think that there¡¯s a problem with the arrangement of the School and the military? How could boys and girls live together? If something were to go wrong, who would be responsible? Are their actions so preposterous and sloppy?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s interest was piqued when she heard this. She tied the shoelaces of her military boots and turned to look at Ye Xin. An ambiguous smile appeared as she said, ¡°Perhaps we don¡¯t even need this dormitory? ¡±


    As if in response to Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, Lei Cheng¡¯s sharp voice was immediately heard from the loudspeaker in the dormitory corridor, ¡°Everyone! I¡¯ll give you five minutes to get up and change. Put on your combat training uniform and gather downstairs in five minutes! I won¡¯t wait for you if you¡¯re late!¡±


    When Lei Cheng finished speaking, his sharp tone turned fierce.


    There was no doubt that Lei Cheng was a man of his word. And the result of this ¡®no waiting¡¯ was not something these people could imagine!


    After listening to Lei Cheng¡¯s announcement, the two students from the Sports Department, standing not far from Li Qin, immediately swallowed their saliva. They nimbly began rummaging through their bags to find the military training uniform. At this time, no one had the time to question Lei Cheng¡¯s words.


    Ye Xin frowned and got to work when she saw them panicking. She wasn¡¯t slow, but when she looked up after changing her clothes, she realized that all four people were looking at her!

 Chapter 235 - 235 Chapter 235. Ingratiating Myself

    235 Chapter 235. Ingratiating Myself


    Unlike the other three boys, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes showed no urgency or impatience. Instead, there was a profound meaning and silence that even Ye Xin could not understand!


    ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and leave if we¡¯re done!¡± A relatively tall male student among the sports students said.


    Zhuang Xian carried her backpack from the ground and was the first to walk out of the dormitory. Li Qin and the boy who had spoken followed closely behind her.


    The boy glanced at Li Qin and gave him a kind smile. ¡°Not bad, brother. You and this girl guessed the instructor¡¯s thoughts! I¡¯m Lin Feng, and this is my good friend Zhang Yang. Please take care of us! I think you guys are mighty!¡±


    As Lin Feng said that, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Yang, who was following behind him. After the two of them looked at each other, Zhang Yang understood and said, ¡°Yes, I see that you seem to know a lot about the military. I¡¯ll have to ask you to take care of Lin Feng and me in the future! Of course, if there¡¯s anything you need, tell us. We¡¯ll do our best to accomplish it as long as it¡¯s within our capabilities. ¡±


    Li Qin gave a faint smile with a deep look in his eyes, but he replied softly, ¡°You¡¯re too kind; we¡¯re just taking care of each other!¡±


    Lin Feng saw that this classmate was easy to talk to, so he laughed and chatted as he walked, ¡°Brother, I haven¡¯t asked for you and this girl¡¯s names.¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and replied, ¡°I¡¯m Li Qin, and she¡¯s Zhuang Xian. But I¡¯ve always called her sister Xian!


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang looked at Li Qin¡¯s face, then at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back, and nodded to show they understood.


    They might still not understand why Li Qin, half a head taller than Zhuang Xian, would call this cold girl ¡®Sis¡¯. But after half a day, they would realize how sincere and heavy Li Qin¡¯s ¡®Sis Xian¡¯ was!


    Ye Xin looked at the two Sports students in front of her, who had already begun to express their goodwill to Li Qin and Zhuang Xian. The expression on her face was a little awkward. She couldn¡¯t bear to see any other girl more popular and sought after than her.


    As Zhuang Xian brought her team members downstairs and ran straight to the assembly point, she met Zhuang Jie and An Ye in the corridor. They looked disheveled and were messily wearing their military training uniforms!


    Zhuang Jie was still holding a pair of military boots in her hand and had yet to put them on. Her limping appearance was comical. Zhuang Xian laughed silently, and Zhuang Jie immediately noticed this action. When Zhuang Jie saw the neat and handsome military training uniform Zhuang Xian was wearing, the anger in her heart started to burn again.


    ¡®Why? Why was it that Zhuang Xian could always be so perfect while she had to repeatedly make a fool of herself in front of others?¡¯ Zhuang Jie was unwilling to give up and was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If An Ye hadn¡¯t pulled her back in time, Zhuang Jie would probably have gone up to Zhuang Xian and caused trouble!


    An Ye was also very helpless against Zhuang Jie!


    They were already in a problematic situation in protecting themselves, yet Zhuang Jie still wanted to provoke Zhuang Xian. She was so willful that she didn¡¯t even look at the big picture. She was so stupid!


    ¡°Let¡¯s go! The time is almost up.¡± An Ye suppressed her frustration and helped Zhuang Jie pull her bag.


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s anger was suppressed, and she regained her senses. She snorted coldly at Zhuang Xian and then rushed down the stairs with her teammates.


    Zhuang Xian naturally did not care about Zhuang Jie¡¯s gaze attack. She raised her delicate brows slightly, and a little evil and dark expression appeared in her eyes. It was just that Zhuang Jie did not have the time to see it!


    Following Zhuang Xian, Ye Xin could see the conflict between Zhuang Jie and Zhuang Xian. Her furrowed brows slowly began to relax as if she had thought of something happy.


    With the sun above their heads, the students who had changed into military training uniforms still looked depressed and angry. The feeling of being fooled again and again made people speechless and heartbroken!


    Lei Cheng looked at the relaxed students below, and a smirk appeared on his face, ¡°Not bad! You¡¯ve improved a lot since this morning!¡±


    The crowd immediately burst out with many dissatisfied and angry voices. The feeling of being forcefully pulled forward was unpleasant!


    ¡°Can¡¯t you explain your plan in one go? Is there any meaning in this sudden attack?¡±

 Chapter 236 - 236 Chapter 236. Killing One to Warn The Others

    236 Chapter 236. Killing One to Warn The Others


    ¡°We are students, not your soldiers! Are you crazy to torture us like this? Did the school not pay you enough? Motherf*cker!¡±


    ¡°I think the way you divide your dorms and groups is also unreasonable! Why didn¡¯t you clarify that we would stay in the same dormitory before we split up? Is it appropriate for men and women to live together? Can you bear the responsibility if something happens? It¡¯s not too much for us girls to make such a suggestion to protect ourselves!¡±


    This time, Lei Cheng seemed to be listening to everyone¡¯s opinions and suggestions seriously, but this seriousness lasted only half a minute. His eyes under the military cap slightly narrowed, and his somewhat dangerous gaze made the few students who spoke loudly in front of him shiver.


    ¡°Why did you suddenly attack?¡± Lei Cheng smiled and continued, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because it¡¯s fun! Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s exciting?¡±


    After seeing the student in front of him rolling his eyes rudely, Lei Cheng laughed indifferently: ¡°I want to get rid of the coquettishness on your bodies! Don¡¯t worry; this isn¡¯t the first time, and it won¡¯t be the last time. This feeling will always be with you in the future!¡±


    ¡°Are you a f*cking pervert? I can¡¯t play with you anymore; I want to go home!¡± One of the students couldn¡¯t hold back his anger and shout.


    Lei Cheng smiled lightly and nodded, ¡°Sure!.¡±


    As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to the Adjutant beside him to hand a piece of paper to the boy. He tilted his head slightly and said, ¡°Sign this voluntary withdrawal consent form, and I¡¯ll let you go!¡±


    The boy paused, and the anger on his face immediately burned more and more fiercely. He became angry from embarrassment and scolded loudly, ¡°Who said I¡¯m dropping out? I¡¯m just not convinced you guys are bullying me like this!¡±


    ¡°But we¡¯ve already said this before we set off from the Academy. Whoever wants to quit halfway or whose results, later on, are not up to standard will be expelled! Right now, one is taking the initiative, while the other is passive!¡± As Lei Cheng spoke, he looked at him with a cold face, ¡°Quickly decide. Do you want to stay here or leave?¡±


    It was as if Lei Cheng had hit the boy¡¯s soft spot. Although his face was indignant, he still had his rationality and did not speak anymore!


    Seeing that he was silent, Lei Cheng looked away contemptuously and shouted at the people behind him, ¡°To prevent anyone from having such a question in the future, I will repeat it! In the 20 days of this military training, if anyone still wants to quit halfway or fails the final assessment results, you can get lost and go home, understand? The home is where you can be pampered babies, understand?¡±


    Students who could enter the university were very talented or came from influential families. In any case, there was no foolish person. At least they could judge the situation when it concerned their interests.


    Lei Cheng¡¯s killing one to warn the others was highly effective. The heavy breathing of everyone had already replaced the indignant voices below the stage!


    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s good that you understand! As for the other student¡¯s questions, I can now kindly answer them for you!¡± Lei Cheng looked at the few students who had many opinions and said, ¡°Your school did not pay me a salary. I came to be your instructor under the orders of our old chief! Without his orders, who would come here and waste time in front of you bunch of trash?


    And this female student¡¯s suggestion, I think you have a point! But why would you believe that these male students would have the guts to make such a mistake under my eyes? Are they not afraid of death?¡±


    As Lei Cheng spoke, he looked at the boys below the stage with a dangerous look and said, ¡°I won¡¯t let them have any extra energy to think about these things. Don¡¯t worry, girls!¡±


    When Li Qin heard Lei Cheng¡¯s words, he could not help but feel goosebumps on his arms. He stretched out his hands and rubbed them together. He whispered to Lin Feng beside him, ¡°Heavens, is this pervert trying to kill us directly? It¡¯s not like all boys are so perverted and dirty. I¡¯m a gentleman! Does the girl who made the suggestion have persecutory delusions?¡±


    Lin Feng smiled, his eyes under the brim of his hat full of sunshine and honesty. He said, ¡°It¡¯s normal for girls to think about their safety! Brother Qin, don¡¯t say that about them!¡±


    When Li Qin heard Lin Feng¡¯s words, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, ¡°Not bad, brother, your ideological awareness is high enough! I was too quick-witted and spoke too soon!¡±

 Chapter 237 - 237 Chapter 237. Smart Team Member

    237 Chapter 237. Smart Team Member


    Lin Feng did not comment. He looked at Li Qin and smiled slightly but did not say anything.


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian had heard their conversation. She turned her head and looked at Lin Feng. She felt that this boy was quite smart. Not only was he very diplomatic, but his emotional intelligence was also not bad. The way he tried to please Li Qin was not repulsive either. He was a brilliant person!


    When Lin Feng saw Zhuang Xian looking at him, he gave her a polite smile and did not start a conversation.


    In Lin Feng¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Xian was not the kind of classmate that was easy to get close to. If he tried to please her, it might directly cause her to dislike him, and it would not be worth it!


    Zhuang Xian had an extraordinary aura around her, and it was apparent that she was not an ordinary classmate. It was okay if they could not get close to her for the time being. More importantly, they should not offend her!


    It had to be said that even though Ye Xin¡¯s intelligence wasn¡¯t that great, she had a good eye for choosing people.


    Not only did she pick these two sports students with good physiques at a glance, but she also picked those who were brilliant. She had a unique eye!


    Of course, if Ye Xin were broad-minded, she wouldn¡¯t have minded that someone else was more intelligent than her. Instead, she should be happy that she had another excellent teammate.


    Unfortunately, she was not such a person!


    Ye Xin furrowed her brows as she looked at Lin Feng, who had his arm around Li Qin¡¯s shoulder, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. She felt like everyone in this group didn¡¯t like her at all!


    Not only did Ye Xin think she was brilliant, but she also boasted about her beauty. Her beauty was second to none in the entire Finance Department. Why was it that she had become something that could be ignored in front of these two guys from the Sports Department?


    While Ye Xin was still thinking about all this nonsense, Lei Cheng had already announced the military training for the afternoon. He wanted all the freshmen to enter the military training state from now on officially. The cross-country hiking military training from this afternoon to tomorrow will begin immediately!


    Ignoring these freshmen¡¯s complaints, Lei Cheng went down the stairs and walked towards the off-road vehicle at the front of the team.


    The megaphone in his hand began to work. ¡°]All squads set off in formation. Destination: Blue Eagle Mountain cross-country training ground! Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Following Lei Cheng¡¯s order, the squad leaders of each squad under him led 50 team members and set off towards Blue Eagle Mountain, a mountain with dense vegetation under the jurisdiction of the Blue Eagle Base!


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Li Qin and Ye Xin, standing beside her, and said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Ye Xin looked at Zhuang Xian in silence as she followed behind Li Qin. Lin Feng and Zhang Yang also followed closely behind her.


    Ye Xin estimated that it took them about 20 minutes to reach the Blue Eagle Mountain that the instructor had mentioned.


    Ye Xin looked at the towering mountain before her and wiped the sweat off her military cap. When she turned to look at Zhuang Xian, she realized she wasn¡¯t even sweating!


    Without waiting for Ye Xin to say anything, Zhuang Xian followed the class monitor¡¯s footsteps and began to go up the mountain path. They started their cross-country hiking on the first day of military training.


    From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ye Xin, who was following behind them, and Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s team, who were not far in front of them!


    Because of Lei Cheng¡¯s strictness, each squad leader had to lead ten groups of five for the cross country. This was not a simple task. Looking at the college student who had just fought with the squad leader, the hearts of the young squad leaders were still a little worried.


    The soldier leading Zhuang Xian¡¯s team was a strong man. He walked in the middle of the team and scolded the students who fell behind from time to time.


    ¡°What are you doing? Didn¡¯t you have lunch? Please hurry up and follow me. We have to get to the next target before the sky turns dark! Do you understand?¡±


    Zhuang Jie had a hard time keeping up. Her feet were worn out in many places from the pair of shoes in the morning. Now, every step she took felt like she was dancing on the tip of a knife.


    She gritted her teeth and tried to catch up with the students in front of her. She remembered Lei Cheng¡¯s move of killing one to warn the others clearly and did not dare to make trouble again! She was also afraid that she would be expelled from the school by these perverted instructors.


    The sun hung high above the treetops, and the shade of the trees blocked a lot of the poisonous sunlight. However, the mountain road under their feet was much more difficult to walk than the flat ground. Between the upslope and the ridge, some gradually, many students were out of touch.


    Apart from Ye Xin, who was relatively weaker, the other members of the team behind Zhuang Xian all had more muscular physiques than the other team members.

 Chapter 238 - 238 Chapter 238. Cross

    238 Chapter 238. Cross-Country Trekking


    Slowly, they walked to the front of the group, which was next to Zhuang Jie¡¯s group.


    Zhuang Xian walked on the uneven mountain road as if on flat ground. Her aura and deftness quickly attracted the squad leader¡¯s attention.


    The insiders watch the doorway, and the inexperienced watch the fun!


    The squad leader immediately understood. Zhuang Xian and the boy beside her were trained. They were much more relaxed than the others and at least had experience in cross-country hiking.


    ¡°Hey, that girl over there, come over here!¡± The squad leader called out to Zhuang Xian.


    Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. She slowed down her pace and stood still as she looked at the squad monitor.


    The backpack she was carrying wasn¡¯t light, but it didn¡¯t seem to exist on her.


    The class monitor pointed at the people of Team 3 next to her and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you be the Vice squad monitor of our squad. You¡¯ll be in charge of the three groups of 15 students. Make sure they move forward quickly and do not fall behind the other groups! Do you understand?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was calm, but her beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness. ¡°I understand, squad monitor.¡±


    After speaking, she turned around and glanced at Zhuang Jie and An Ye indifferently. Then, she walked directly to the front of their group and said coldly, ¡°Hurry up! Don¡¯t drag down the other students.¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s serious expression, Zhuang Jie was stunned for a moment before she laughed and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? The squad monitor has just promoted you, and now you want to show off your authority in front of me? Do you think you¡¯re an official?¡±


    When An Ye saw Zhuang Xian walking toward them, she had a bad feeling. Now that she saw Zhuang Jie confronting her again, she helplessly reached out and pulled Zhuang Jie back. She said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s not provoke her so much! Didn¡¯t you see that even the squad monitor had a high opinion of her? Do you think she¡¯s not targeting us enough?¡±


    When Zhuang Jie heard this, she shook off An Ye¡¯s hand and glanced at the squad monitor, who had already walked far away. She snorted coldly and looked at Zhuang Xian, saying, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Zhuang Xian, stop using chicken feathers as arrows in front of me; I won¡¯t buy it! Hit me if you have the guts. Let¡¯s see how the squad monitor will protect you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and looked at Zhuang Jie as if she was looking at a fool. She said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t even need to lift a finger with your weak body. You won¡¯t be comfortable in military training, either! You don¡¯t have to use such childish means to provoke me. Hit you? I think it would make my hands dirty.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian said the last sentence, her tone was so soft that only Zhuang Jie and An Ye could hear it. Zhuang Jie was so angry that she wanted to scold Zhuang Xian a few more times, but An Ye, beside her, directly pulled her arm and walked forward!


    An Ye looked deeply at Zhuang Xian, her eyes full of vigilance and caution!


    Zhuang Xian looked at her expressionlessly and followed behind them.


    Most people hadn¡¯t wholly dispersed yet, and it was still bright outside, so it wasn¡¯t good to do anything. They had to wait until nighttime before moving, but it was still good enough to scare them.


    Zhang Yang stood beside Li Qin and looked at Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Jie¡¯s backs. He then asked, ¡°Why is that girl so hostile to Sister Xian? Do you know each other from before?¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhang Yang and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t ask about things you shouldn¡¯t be asking about! It¡¯s none of your business.¡±


    Zhang Yang was stunned by Li Qin¡¯s rude warning. He stood still on the spot. Lin Feng stopped and looked at him. He shook his head slightly and signaled Zhang Yang to follow him. ¡°Stop talking so much.¡±


    Although Li Qin seemed to be easy to get along with, he also had a feeling that he was unapproachable. He could talk to you with a smile, which was out of courtesy, but you should know your place.


    Naturally, Ye Xin could tell that Zhuang Jie and Zhuang Xian were not on good terms with each other. Other thoughts surfaced in her mind, but she did not dare to slow down her pace. As they continued to move forward, they were getting deeper and deeper. The smell of rotting leaves and branches under their feet was getting stronger and stronger!


    Usually pampered, these young masters and ladies had never seen such a scene. One by one, they began to walk carefully in silence, afraid of falling.


    In fact, with the current difficulty of off-road travel, Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t need to do anything. Zhuang Jie and An Ye would be able to kill themselves.


    Zhuang Xian raised her hand and pushed away the branches in front of her. The next second, she heard Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s screams.

 Chapter 239 - 239 Chapter 239. Not Knowing How to Appreciate Kindness

    239 Chapter 239. Not Knowing How to Appreciate Kindness


    ¡°Argh! My foot! It hurts! Did my leg break?¡± Zhuang Jie screamed in pain.


    An Ye was so frightened by a small snake on the tree trunk beside her that she fell on her butt into the bushes behind her. She screamed in shock and crawled for a long time but couldn¡¯t get up.


    Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s team members saw this and quickly walked over to help them up.


    An Ye was fine, but Zhuang Jie¡¯s foot seemed to have been twisted. Her face was pale from the pain. One of the team members quickly turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian, standing not far away, and loudly asked for help, ¡°Vice squad monitor, this student seems to have twisted her ankle! Do you want to come over and take a look?¡±


    When Zhuang Jie heard that this classmate was asking Zhuang Xian for help on her behalf, she immediately glared at him and scolded him in a trembling voice, ¡°Who told you to call her? I don¡¯t want her to care!¡±


    When the student heard this, he looked at her with a smile and said, ¡°I think you shouldn¡¯t be so willful now! Don¡¯t you understand the current situation? We¡¯re teammates; we should help each other. If you offend people like this, it won¡¯t end well, do you understand?¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at An Ye, who was being helped up, and continued, ¡°After all, not everyone is like your friend who will protect you at all times, do you understand? She¡¯s just like your maid!¡±


    Of course, the boy didn¡¯t say the last sentence out loud. Just like he said, it was better not to offend people.


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s foot was in excruciating pain, and others were still lecturing her. With her Missy temper, how could she tolerate it?


    ¡°Who asked you to meddle in my business? What right do you have to lecture me?¡± she shouted in frustration.


    The boy sneered at Zhuang Jie¡¯s stupidly ungrateful attitude and said, ¡°If you really can¡¯t understand the good and evil in other people¡¯s words, you¡¯d better learn to shut up and be silent! Otherwise, with your personality, who would want to be your teammate? That would be strange!


    I¡¯m just trying to help you call for help out of goodwill, and I¡¯m also trying to persuade you. Since you¡¯re so capable, then we won¡¯t keep you company! You can team up with whoever has the right to criticize you!¡±


    As he spoke, he led the other girl beside him and left the area. Obviously, he did not want to team up with Zhuang Jie anymore.


    The other boy was left behind. He looked at Zhuang Jie, who was still sitting on the ground, and he did not know what to do! They hadn¡¯t even gone far, and his group had already fallen apart. What was he going to do in the future?


    As Zhuang Jie watched indignantly, the boy left with the girl, and the male classmate beside her stretched his hand to help her up; Zhuang Xian jumped down from the slight slope nimbly. Before she even arrived, her voice could be heard. ¡°Don¡¯t touch her first.¡±


    Zhuang Jie and the boy were both stunned. Before Zhuang Jie could react, Zhuang Xian had already taken two steps forward and squatted in front of her. After looking at her feet, she said, ¡°Her leg isn¡¯t broken; it¡¯s probably just a sprain.¡±


    She glanced at the male classmate beside Zhuang Jie as she spoke and ordered, ¡°Take off her shoes and apply some cold water on them. Otherwise, she¡¯ll be too swollen to walk and have to get someone to help her.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s leadership aura was still powerful. Unconsciously people would subconsciously listen to her orders. The boy reached out his hand and looked like he was going to take something out of his backpack, but after a pause, he still asked Zhuang Jie, ¡°Hey, where¡¯s your water? I¡¯ll take it out!¡±


    Zhuang Jie glanced at Zhuang Xian. Although angry, she thought about her legs and replied softly, ¡°It¡¯s in my backpack.


    An Ye stood on the other side in a sorry state. After picking up the dead branches and leaves on her body, she looked at Zhuang Jie on the ground again. She took the water bottle from the male member¡¯s hand. She smiled and said, ¡°Thank you, classmate. I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    The boy was happy to have someone do things for him and casually stuffed the bottle into An Ye¡¯s hands.


    Zhuang Xian could see through their plans. She looked at her watch, glanced at the people around her, and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s rest for five minutes. The squad monitor and the others are still behind us. We can take a break and wait for them!¡±

 Chapter 240 - 240 Chapter 240. Role Model Group?

    240 Chapter 240. Role Model Group?


    As soon as Zhuang Xian spoke, Li Qin knelt and sat on a tree branch on the ground, sighing in comfort.


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang also sat down on the ground. At this time, they should rest as much as they can. Who knew when they would be able to stop again?


    Seeing everyone slowly sit down, no one complained about the dirty floor anymore. Some male students even lay on the ground.


    Zhuang Xian looked on expressionlessly and reminded him, ¡°It¡¯s OK to sit down, but those who want to sleep, be careful. Mosquitoes and venomous snakes often appear in the forest, so don¡¯t expose your skin to the outside.


    When they heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, a few boys immediately got up from the ground and cleared their throats to ease the awkwardness. However, no one refuted Zhuang Xian; instead, they followed her instructions.


    Zhang Yang and Ye Xin quietly rolled down their sleeves and looked at Zhuang Xian, standing in the middle of the group. They had completely different feelings in their hearts.


    Zhang Yang was full of respect and admiration for her. Along the way, Zhuang Xian reminded them of many things and helped them avoid meaningless injuries. Although this beautiful and delicate girl had been expressionless all the time, Zhang Yang was still very grateful to her!


    On the other hand, Ye Xin¡¯s thoughts were much more complicated and dark. She couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous as she watched Zhuang Xian win over so many of her classmates ¡®hearts¡¯ without even batting an eyelid.


    She often tried to build a good relationship with the guys in the group, but they seemed to ignore her. Their attitude was very different from how they treated Zhuang Xian. It was as if she had become Zhuang Xian¡¯s foil!


    Ye Xin gritted her teeth as she watched Li Qin hand Zhuang Xian a water bottle. She looked away uneasily! Hmph! She did not believe that with her capabilities, she would not be able to outdo Zhuang Xian in such matters!


    As she thought about this, she turned her head to look at Lin Feng, sitting a few steps away from her, and said, ¡°Lin Feng, do you still have water to drink? I saw that you didn¡¯t have much water left in your bottle. Do you want me to give you a bottle?¡±


    As she spoke, a beautiful and gentle smile blossomed on Ye Xin¡¯s face. She reached for her backpack.


    Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand. ¡°No need for the time being. You can keep it for yourself; I still have some.¡±


    Ye Xin was a beautiful girl with a fresh and clean aura. Although she had a rough time walking, she was able to endure more hardship compared to the other girls in the group. She had never complained about being tired along the way, so Lin Feng and Zhang Yang had a good impression of her!


    Both of them were very satisfied with their team members, especially the one who had already become the Vice squad monitor, their team leader-student Zhuang Xian!


    Not only was she beautiful, but she was also competent. Sometimes, even the two of them, who were sports athletes, could not keep up with her pace!


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they were all around the same age, they would have suspected that Zhuang Xian was a real soldier.


    Ye Xin wasn¡¯t discouraged by her unsuccessful attempt at expressing her goodwill. She smiled meekly and continued, ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it here first. If you don¡¯t have any left, ask me! Zhang Yang, you too!¡±


    When Zhang Yang heard that there was still a matter for him to attend to, he nodded and thanked her with a smile. A simple and honest smile immediately appeared on his face. He thought that the two girls in his group were good. Compared to the two girls who had just made a fool of themselves, they were completely different!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s group, which seemed to have a strong sense of collective honor, was the most united and friendly group among the 15 people! It was just that other people could only see these superficial things and couldn¡¯t help but be affected by their social and harmonious relationships.


    They were only children who were close to 18 or 19 years old. They had their little schemes, but they were not too deep! At the very least, they wouldn¡¯t be as good at scheming as Ye Xin and An Ye.


    As long as there was a good leader, they were still willing to follow orders. After all, no one wanted to be expelled. And with a good role model and follower in front of them, why not?


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t care about such trivial matters. She had an obvious target in her heart: Ye Xin, An Ye, and the stupid Zhuang Jie! As for the other passerby classmates, Zhuang Xian did not mind giving them a hand!

 Chapter 241 - 241 Chapter 241. Infighting?

    241 Chapter 241. Infighting?


    After all, if they were to calculate based on Zhuang Xian¡¯s actual mental age, the students present were all Zhuang Xian¡¯s juniors.


    An Ye squatted down in front of Zhuang Jie and suppressed the anger in her heart. She raised her hand to help Zhuang Jie take off her shoes and socks and held a water bottle to wash Zhuang Jie¡¯s red ankle!


    She had fallen just now because Zhuang Jie had made a big fuss out of nothing.


    When she saw the snake on the branch next to her, she subconsciously reached out and pushed her away. The snake didn¡¯t scare An Ye, but Zhuang Jie¡¯s scream frightened her. Her mind panicked, and she slipped into the pit behind her.


    Zhuang Jie gritted her teeth as she watched An Ye treat her wound. She was already feeling a little dissatisfied. She thought about how An Ye retreated by herself and left her on the spot, causing her to sprain her foot. She asked unhappily, ¡°Ye, did you throw me up there on purpose? You wanted to run away when you saw a snake and didn¡¯t care about an injured person like me!¡±


    An Ye paused and looked at Zhuang Jie in disbelief. What are you saying, Jie? Weren¡¯t you the one who suddenly screamed and scared me to fall backward? I didn¡¯t say anything, so why are you still making bogus accusations? You twisted your ankle, so why are you blaming me? Did I push you?¡±


    Zhuang Jie was taken aback by An Ye¡¯s questions. She remembered that she was the one who screamed first before An Ye fell. She felt a little embarrassed, but her mouth, irritated by the pain in her foot, didn¡¯t stop. ¡°Even so, the first thing you should have done when you got up was to pull me! What if that snake came up to attack me? My leg is sprained. Can I run away?¡±


    Seeing An Ye¡¯s dark and silent face, she added, ¡°Alright, alright, I don¡¯t really want to blame you. I want to tell you, don¡¯t leave me so easily in the future! You see, I only said one sentence to you, and you retorted so many words back at me. I¡¯m not angry at all!¡±


    Zhuang Jie used the method of slapping someone and then giving them candy on An Ye. It was completely wrong!


    If it was in the past, An Ye could still try to accommodate and coax Zhuang Jie, but they were in a particular situation now. Everyone could not even protect themselves. An Ye thought she had done enough, but why was Zhuang Jie still so self-righteous and thought that the whole world revolved around her?


    Who did she think she was? If she didn¡¯t have a good mother, would she be worthy of her flattery?


    An Ye hung her head and thought indignantly, but her expression slowly turned into one of compromise and caution.


    The boy from the same group who had been standing far away naturally heard their conversation. After listening to it, he felt that Zhuang Jie had gone too far.


    Looking at An Ye¡¯s delicate and well-behaved face, he couldn¡¯t help but speak up for An Ye. ¡°An Ye is so good to you, but you¡¯re always so harsh to her? If I were you, I¡¯d try to please her first. Don¡¯t you see what kind of situation we¡¯re in now? You¡¯re venting your Missy¡¯s temper on her! No wonder our group members don¡¯t like you; you deserve it!¡±


    Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t hold back her anger when she heard the boy¡¯s words. She pointed at the boy sternly, ¡°What did you say? Can you repeat that?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! It would be the same even if I said it ten times! You deserve it! Only An Ye was kind enough to help you and was willing to coax you. If she was gone, who would spare you a second glance? You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you!¡±


    After the boy finished scolding Zhuang Jie, he turned to An Ye and continued, ¡°In my opinion, you should ignore her! Let¡¯s see if she still has the energy to be arrogant after hanging her out for a few hours and letting her be on her own!¡±


    An Ye raised her head and looked at the boy with red eyes. She smiled gently and said, ¡°Thank you for speaking up for me, but Jie isn¡¯t the kind of person you¡¯re talking about. She was just frightened just now.¡±


    After An Ye finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhuang Jie and said with a faint smile, ¡°Alright, aren¡¯t we best friends? I won¡¯t be angry with you over such a small matter. It would be best if you also spoke less out of anger. Don¡¯t offend all of our team members!¡±

 Chapter 242 - 242 Chapter 242. Little Tricks

    242 Chapter 242. Little Tricks


    On the surface, An Ye¡¯s words sounded like she didn¡¯t care about Zhuang Jie¡¯s rudeness and harsh words. However, if the more attentive students listened carefully, they would realize that An Ye was mocking Zhuang Jie!


    She had asked Zhuang Jie, ¡°Aren¡¯t we best friends?¡± She also told Zhuang Jie to say less to offend the other team members and to send a signal to the team members around them!


    She and Zhuang Jie were indeed excellent friends, but how did Zhuang Jie treat her friends?


    It had to be said that An Ye was very talented at reading people¡¯s minds.


    Although this boy was a little angry at her, he didn¡¯t say anything more when he saw her beautiful and obedient appearance. He only gave Zhuang Jie a stern look and retracted his gaze in disgust. However, he started to size up An Ye, beside Zhuang Jie, from time to time!


    Zhuang Xian was sitting on a tree not far away and saw An Ye¡¯s little tricks. She was holding a dagger that came with her military bag. The blade was not sharp, but it became the best weapon in Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands.


    She turned to look at Zhuang Jie, who was still clueless about this, and a faint sneer appeared on her lips.


    Li Qin wiped away the sweat on his forehead and turned to look at Zhuang Xian. ¡°It¡¯s been five minutes. Why haven¡¯t the squad monitor and the others caught up yet? Did something happen?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the watch in her hand and frowned slightly. She stood up and looked back at the way they had come, her eyes gradually darkening.


    She looked around and saw that her group mates were all looking at her. She patted Li Qin¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back and meet up with the squad monitor and the others. You can wait here with all of them.¡±


    Li Qin looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes and nodded after a while. ¡°Then go ahead, Sister Xian. My classmates and I are here waiting for you and the squad monitor.


    When the other students around them saw the situation, they also understood. Although they felt a little uneasy, they nodded and let Zhuang Xian go.


    Ye Xin looked in the direction that Zhuang Xian had left and suddenly felt a sense of danger. She asked softly, ¡°Zhuang Xian isn¡¯t thinking of leaving us here and leaving on her own, is she? The squad monitor isn¡¯t here either. Is it okay for us to let her go back like this?¡±


    Li Qin turned around and looked at Ye Xin, who seemed to be talking to herself. He understood that she was trying to use this opportunity to defame his sister Xian! How could Li Qin agree to this? He glanced at Ye Xin and said, ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go and pick up the squad monitor and let sister Xian rest here? ¡±


    If his sister Xian wanted to throw someone, the first person she would throw would be you, Ye Xin! Li Qin rolled his eyes at Ye Xin as he thought about this.


    Seeing the situation, Lin Feng opened his mouth to ease the tension, ¡°Alright, alright, we¡¯re all in the same group, so we should be united! The leader is just checking on the squad monitor and the others. She¡¯ll be back soon.¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Xin, pursed his lips, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say that about the team leader. Under such circumstances, shouldn¡¯t we trust her more?¡±


    Seeing that she couldn¡¯t find a way to smear Zhuang Xian¡¯s name, Ye Xin turned to Lin Feng with a faint smile and explained, ¡°You¡¯re right; I was too anxious; I shouldn¡¯t have said that to Zhuang Xian! She definitely won¡¯t leave us behind. After all, she¡¯s the Vice squad monitor of our three groups!¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s intuition told him that Ye Xin was trying to set up a trap for Zhuang Xian. He scoffed but didn¡¯t say anything. He thought, ¡®How could Ye Xin possibly understand what sister Xian is thinking?¡¯


    This small group of 14 people, except for Zhuang Xian, fell into a strange silence.


    As time passed by, the sunlight grew dimmer and dimmer. Everyone started to feel a little uneasy. Without Zhuang Xian and the squad monitor among them, the leaders of the other two groups had no idea what to do!


    Zhuang Jie felt the temperature in the forest drop. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and looked around. She thought that the atmosphere was getting eerier and eerier. She looked at the watch on her wrist and said in a dry voice, ¡°It¡¯s been almost half an hour; why hasn¡¯t the squad monitor caught up yet? Are they lost?¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t the Vice squad monitor come back? Did she forget about us?¡± Seeing Zhuang Jie speak, An Ye also quickly said.

 Chapter 243 - 243 Chapter 243. Slander And Scheming

    243 Chapter 243. Slander And Scheming


    An ye and Ye Xin had the same goal. If they didn¡¯t expose themselves, they would find a way to defame Zhuang Xian. It would be best if they could make everyone hate her!


    Ye Xin glanced at An Ye and Zhuang Jie and retorted in a soft voice, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about our team leader like that; she¡¯s not that kind of person! It¡¯s only been a while. If we wait a little longer, she will find us with the squad monitor! It¡¯s still a long time before it gets dark, so we don¡¯t have to worry!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at Ye Xin with a strange expression. It was almost six O¡¯clock, and the sky had darkened earlier in the mountains. Why did she sound like she was being sarcastic? However, when had Zhuang Xian ever offended Ye Xin? Although Lin Feng was brilliant, he really couldn¡¯t understand the complicated things between girls!


    Zhang Yang, who was even more confused than him, was even more confused. He felt Ye Xin¡¯s words were a little strange, but he could not figure out precisely what she was talking about. So, he said, ¡°That¡¯s right, we have to believe in our vice squad monitor. There are more than ten people here; how could she forget?¡±


    Li Qin looked at the sky in the forest, slowly darkening. With a cold face, he reminded me, ¡°We¡¯re not prepared for any unexpected situations. Everyone, take out the flashlights in your military backpacks! Let¡¯s all gather together and sit back to back together. We¡¯ll observe the situation in the forest!¡±


    Zhuang Jie asked tremblingly, ¡°Why are you doing this? Why don¡¯t we go back? Maybe we may bump into the squad monitor and the others? It¡¯s better than sitting around and waiting for death!¡±


    Li Qin turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Jie, his eyes cold. ¡°Do you think you can catch up with the Vice squad monitor with your leg strength? If you don¡¯t understand, then don¡¯t talk nonsense! We¡¯re all timid and afraid, to begin with. If you continue to shake the morale of the Army like this, I won¡¯t be polite to you!¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Jie¡¯s pale face and speechlessness, Li Qin raised his hand and gathered the students around him. He did not forget to explain, ¡°We can¡¯t go anywhere right now. The best choice is to stay here and wait for the squad monitor and vice squad monitor to bring people over to meet us! Half an hour of walking in the woods is enough for the Vice squad monitor to make several rounds. She must have been caught up in something if she didn¡¯t come back!¡±


    ¡°Maybe she has already met up with the squad monitor and the others! If we turn back at this time and miss them, we¡¯ll be finished! Do you have any experience spending the night in the jungle?¡±


    Li Qin asked and arranged everyone around him. He looked at Zhuang Jie and An Ye, who had not moved for a long time. He speechlessly pouted and did not intend to care about these two people courting death.


    How could these young masters and ladies have the experience of spending the night in the jungle? Like frightened little chicks, they could only listen to the words of Li Qin, who seemed to be the most experienced one among them!


    An Ye saw this scene and knew the best way was to listen to Li Qin first. At least everyone would feel safer sitting back to back. She supported Zhuang Jie and walked towards the crowd, landing on the periphery.


    Being close to each other made everyone feel a little more at ease. Some boys began to make suggestions to ease their current embarrassment. ¡°Why don¡¯t we find some firewood and light a fire? I¡¯ve seen survival in the wilderness on TV. If there¡¯s an open fire, it can drive away some wild beasts that want to get close and keep us warm.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, yeah! I think it¡¯s feasible. If there¡¯s a fire, the surroundings will be brighter. Maybe the squad monitor will be able to see us directly?¡±


    ¡°Well said! Who¡¯s going to pick up firewood now?¡± Li Qin stood in front of them and said indifferently.


    As he spoke, he kicked the thick dead leaves under his feet and shone the flashlight in his hand at the dense vegetation around him. Then he said strangely, ¡°Do you want to light up the mountain or burn it? Besides, do you have fuel in your pocket? With just us small fries, we should know our place! I won¡¯t die if I don¡¯t seek death!¡±


    Everyone was speechless.


    Zhang Yang touched the lighter in his military training suit pocket. ¡­!


    Forget it; Brother Qin¡¯s words make sense. With just a few of them, it¡¯s best not to dream of doing something that¡¯s simply impossible!


    As night fell, Li Qin looked in the direction that Zhuang Xian had left in and started to feel a little worried!

 Chapter 244 - 244 Chapter 244. Danger at Night

    244 Chapter 244. Danger at Night


    He knew that with his sister Xian¡¯s strength, this level of off-road was nothing.


    In the past, Zhuang Xian was a ruthless character who could challenge the entire Army. She could carry out all kinds of challenging missions with ease. He would never doubt that she could do it.


    However, looking at the forest in front of him, Li Qin¡¯s heart could not calm down no matter what. It was as if something terrible was about to happen.


    The good didn¡¯t work; the bad did!


    Li Qin¡¯s sharp senses detected a rustling sound from a low bush far from them. It did not sound like human footsteps, but it was not a large animal either!


    Animals like tigers or bears couldn¡¯t live in a mountain surrounded by the military base! Li Qin consoled himself as he pulled out the not-so-sharp dagger from behind his waist.


    Lin Feng, sitting behind Li Qin, also noticed this unusual scene. He reached out and tugged at Li Qin¡¯s sleeve, indicating that they could surround it from the front and back to see what it was.


    Li Qin looked at the dozen or so people behind him. After thinking about it, he still felt that Lin Feng¡¯s idea was not bad. He did not dare to take the risk. There were still so many students behind him that he needed to take care of!


    Li Qin nodded and motioned for Lin Feng and him to go first. Zhang Yang looked around for any other movements.


    Zhang Yang swallowed his saliva nervously. He looked at the two figures sneakily walking toward him. He had a feeling that he had just received an important quest.


    Sitting at the edge of the crowd, Zhuang Jie and An Ye also felt this bad feeling.


    An Ye had been observing Li Qin the whole time. Now that she saw him pulling a boy away quietly, she was a little puzzled. She pulled Zhuang Jie¡¯s sleeve and gestured for her to look over!


    Zhuang Jie looked at their backs and asked nervously and confusedly, ¡°Where are they going? Are you going to leave us here? You go and stop them!¡±


    An Ye glanced at Zhuang Jie impatiently. After thinking for a while, she said, ¡°Let¡¯s move over and take a look. We¡¯ll shout to stop them if they really want to escape!¡±


    Zhuang Jie thought that An Ye was afraid. After thinking for two seconds, she nodded in agreement.


    Zhang Yang was so nervous that he didn¡¯t see Zhuang Jie and An Ye leave the team until Ye Xin poked him and reminded him, ¡°What are the two girls doing?¡±


    Zhang Yang came back to his senses and turned around. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot. He quickly shouted, ¡°You two, come back quickly!¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s hearing was excellent. He heard Zhang Yang¡¯s voice immediately. He turned around and saw Zhuang Jie and An Ye following Lin Feng. He glared at them and wanted to kick them out. However, before he could say anything, he was attracted by a dark brown shadow that suddenly appeared from the forest!


    In the next second, Li Qin reacted quickly. He ran in the direction of the fast shadow, where Lin Feng was, and shouted, ¡°Lin Feng! You guys quickly get out of the way!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at the shadow a few meters before him, and his heart tightened. Before he could see clearly what it was, he subconsciously turned and ran, not forgetting to curse, ¡°Motherf*cker! What the hell is this, Brother Qin!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t bring him into the crowd, damn it! Right turn! The two idiots behind, you guys should also spread out!¡± Li Qin was so anxious that he wished to grow wings and fly over. He didn¡¯t even know when his voice was shouting for the support!


    Only then did Lin Feng see Zhuang Jie and An Ye beside him. Before saying anything, he reached out to grab Zhuang Jie¡¯s shoulder and felt a sharp object against his left thigh. He was shocked and immediately turned 90 degrees to the side, pulling Zhuang Jie and pouncing!


    He only felt something hot all over his body slide past his knees!


    An Ye, who he didn¡¯t manage to catch in time, was scared out of her wits. She screamed, turned around, and ran into the crowd!


    Li Qin was about to go crazy, and the students sat together!


    When Zhang Yang saw what was behind An Ye, his face froze in fear. However, half a second later, he raised his hand and waved at An Ye, ¡°Don¡¯t bring it this way! Turn away!¡±


    ¡°Idiot! What are you doing? Please don¡¯t bring it into the crowd! Motherf*cker! Stop!¡± Li Qin held the knife in his hand and felt that he had never run so fast in his entire life.

 Chapter 245 - 245 Chapter 245. Uninvited Guest

    245 Chapter 245. Uninvited Guest


    An Ye was almost scared to death by the thing behind her. How could she care about other people¡¯s curses and suggestions?


    She subconsciously ran towards the crowd, trying to find someone to block the creature¡¯s pursuit or change this disgusting creature¡¯s target!


    Li Qin¡¯s scolding words fell into An Ye¡¯s ears, but they did not reach An Ye¡¯s heart. Zhang Yang looked at An Ye and the dark brown wild boar, charging straight toward them. He had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to scold An Ye for!


    ¡°F * ck your mother! Everyone, quickly disperse! Don¡¯t get hurt by its fangs!¡± Zhang Yang shouted; his feet had already started to move to the side.


    An Ye¡¯s eyes were fixed on Zhang Yang, who was at the front of the crowd. She cried for help with a panicked expression, ¡°Save me! I don¡¯t want to die here!¡±


    Zhang Yang was so furious that he was speechless. He pulled Ye Xin away from him and quickly ran away from An Ye¡¯s line of sight. ¡°Die? Who wants to die? I¡¯m f*cking convinced it¡¯s you!¡±


    The unknown night shrouded the forest in darkness. The screams of the forest rose and fell, accompanied by the chaotic sound of people running under their feet. The bright flashlights were like the laser lights in nightclubs at midnight, but they did not represent happiness. Instead, they confirmed the fear and panic of humans.


    ¡± Help me! Motherf*cker!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s this thing, such a big one? Did the old wild boar become a spirit?¡±


    ¡°Calm down, everyone! Don¡¯t push! Why was there a huge pit here? I fell to my death!¡±


    ¡°What is this crazy woman trying to do? Don¡¯t you think we¡¯re unlucky enough? Why did you bring him here? Vice squad monitor, help! I don¡¯t want to be squashed to death by the wild boars!¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s steps were swift. With his dagger, he was already close to the back of the uninvited guest. The wild boar, furious and excited, seemed only to have its eyes on An Ye. It chased after the other party like a shadow that could not be shaken off!


    An Ye ran as fast as she could, but the thing behind her was still chasing her relentlessly. An Ye, who had run out of energy, felt her legs go soft, but she knew she couldn¡¯t stop. The flashlight in her hand shone in front of her, and she immediately saw Ye Xin in the messy crowd.


    An Ye¡¯s human instinct for survival gave her no time to overthink. She turned around and ran towards Ye Xin and Zhang Yang beside her, shouting, ¡°Quickly help me! Help me!¡±


    A wild boar was not an animal to be trifled with in the jungle. The pair of sharp fangs in its mouth were the best weapons on its body. Coupled with its brute force, it was simply a tiny steel cannon in the jungle!


    An Ye¡¯s physical strength was already exhausted, but this wild boar was still okay. It slowly caught up to An Ye¡¯s speed. Its fangs were already touching An Ye¡¯s leg, and it still let out a wild cry. An Ye was scared out of her wits. Her heart jumped, and her legs suddenly went soft. She was directly sent flying by the huge brute force behind her!


    When An Ye¡¯s body touched the ground, it made a loud noise! It was accompanied by the frightened cries of a few students hiding at the side.


    Perhaps it felt that it had finally caught up to its target; the wild boar excitedly kicked its hooves a few times on the spot. The fur on its head flicked as if it was celebrating!


    Ye Xin¡¯s gaze landed on An Ye, who was not far away. After witnessing such a brutal and terrifying scene, she was almost scared to death. When An Ye was sent flying by the wild boar, Ye Xin thought that An Ye would die here!


    Ye Xin covered her mouth with all her might, and her body trembled so she couldn¡¯t make any sound. However, tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes!


    She was standing right behind Zhang Yang, afraid that she would meet the eyes of this wild and uninvited guest!


    But in the next second, Li Qin, who had rushed to the back of the wild boar, held the dagger in his hand and cleanly stabbed it into its dark abdomen!


    The ear-piercing sound of a pig¡¯s cry reverberated in Li Qin¡¯s ears. Li Qin, who had hit his target in one hit, quickly retreated. However, his attack had directly infuriated the wild boar!


    The wild boar seemed to have gone mad. It held the dagger in its stomach and attacked the people closest to it indiscriminately. The first ones to be attacked were Zhang Yang and Ye Xin.

 Chapter 246 - 246 Chapter 246. Saving a Life.

    246 Chapter 246. Saving a Life.


    Zhang Yang realized that something was not right. He grabbed Ye Xin¡¯s hand and tried to run away. However, he did not expect the wild boar to become even faster after being stabbed!


    Misfortunes never come alone. Ye Xin suddenly slipped and fell back to the ground uncontrollably. Her face turned pale as she lay on the ground. She felt her legs go weak and significant drops of sweat rolled down her forehead!


    Zhang Yang could feel Ye Xin¡¯s wrist sliding out of his palm. He was so anxious that he wanted to turn around and pull her back. However, how could the raging wild boar allow them to make so many mistakes?


    It rushed straight toward Ye Xin, who was on the ground!


    Li Qin, standing at the side, widened his eyes in shock. Although he knew that his sister Xian had a deep grudge against this woman, judging from this b*stard¡¯s attitude, it was determined to kill Ye Xin.


    Li Qin swallowed his saliva. He was subconsciously thinking of saving her, but he was already too late!


    At that moment, Ye Xin could almost smell the stench of the wild boar on her face. Her mind went blank. Zhang Yang was still trying to save her. He screamed, ¡°Ye Xin! Get out of the way!¡±


    Ye Xin¡¯s entire body froze as she stared at the pig¡¯s face in front of her. It was as if she had been cast with a spell.


    At this critical moment, a camouflaged figure flew down from the left side of the tree trunk. With extraordinary speed and strength, she flew sideways and kicked the wild boar¡¯s abdomen with all her strength. The dagger half-inserted in the wild boar¡¯s stomach just now was inserted entirely into the wild boar¡¯s stomach!


    Hot blood spurted out, and the beast let out a heart-wrenching cry! However, this did not arouse any pity from Zhuang Xian. Her feet, wearing heavy military boots, carried a considerable force, causing the wild boar¡¯s huge body to tilt to the side! But it still didn¡¯t fall!


    After Zhuang Xian kicked the wild boar away, her body landed on the ground, and she smacked the ground to get up the next second without a pause. Her movements were neat and handsome, just like those movie actors who had to exert pressure to finish their movements.


    The girl with the camouflage military cap was as light as a butterfly in the forest. She stood up quickly, took a dagger from her waist, and rushed toward the wild boar!


    She dodged the beast¡¯s hysterical counterattack, the dagger in her hand so fast that only an afterimage was left!


    When the dagger was inserted into the only delicate part of the wild boar¡¯s body, the neck, Zhang Yang could hear his breathing.


    Only a few random flashlights were trying to illuminate the area in the dark mountain forest. A few students who had stopped by Ye Xin¡¯s side earlier were now so shocked by Zhuang Xian that their mouths were wide open!


    The scene in front of them froze. The girl in the camouflage military cap and the backpack she had not yet taken off was standing tall and straight. She was like a sharp blood-soaked blade that had been unsheathed, and her body was filled with a cold murderous intent!


    Zhuang Xian calmly retrieved her dagger from the wild boar¡¯s body that had already fallen to the ground. Her slightly lowered jaw perfectly reflected her current carefreeness, as if she was not the one who had flipped the wild boar to the ground with just two moves!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s pretty and exquisite face was disgusted as she looked at the fresh blood on the dagger. She turned her head to the side and looked at the completely dumbfounded Ye Xin before she said indifferently, ¡°You still don¡¯t remember? It¡¯s more comfortable to sit on the ground, right?¡±


    Zhang Yang was stunned on the spot; his eyes were wide open. When he looked at Zhuang Xian, his eyes were filled with surprise and joy, but in the next second, all of it turned into admiration and respect.


    With a long face, he immediately sat on the ground and pretended to cry, ¡°Sister Xian! You¡¯re finally back. Do you know what we¡¯ve been through all this time?¡±


    He wasn¡¯t the only one who collapsed!


    Ye Xin seemed to have yet to recover from what had just happened. Her dull face was pale and covered in sweat. She was sprawled on the ground in a sorry state.


    Ye Xin was being very rational by not wailing out loud. She could feel her fingers on the ground slowly being covered by a hot, sticky substance. Ye Xin lowered her head and looked at the sticky substance. She immediately started screaming and wailing, ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhh! What the hell! Help me!¡±

 Chapter 247 - 247 Chapter 247. Shes Not Dead Yet

    247 Chapter 247. She¡¯s Not Dead Yet


    Zhuang Xian stood before Ye Xin and lowered her head to look at her. Half a second later, she furrowed her brows and said sarcastically, ¡°It¡¯s just blood; why are you making such a big fuss? I¡¯ve already warned you just now, but you were the one who insisted on sitting on the ground. You can¡¯t blame me for this!¡±


    Ye Xin panicked and stumbled back half a meter before she stood up. If Zhang Yang had not caught her in time, she would have fallen again!


    Seeing Ye Xin in such a sorry state, Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood slowly improved. She reckoned that even a pig would make Ye Xin tremble in fear in the future.


    Li Qin walked up to her and said, ¡°Sister Xian, what took you so long? Did something happen to the squad monitor and the others?¡±


    Lin Feng followed behind her and looked at Zhuang Xian with eyes full of joy. He smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing you came back in time, vice squad monitor. If you were a little later, you would only be able to see us being tortured to death by this beast!¡±


    As Lin Feng spoke, he lifted his leg and kicked the wild boar lying on the ground, completely silent!


    Seeing that Ye Xin could stand alone, Zhang Yang let go of her and walked towards them.


    He looked at the wild boar on the ground curiously, then turned his head in disgust. ¡°This guy must be a few hundred pounds! How long has it been since we last saw them? Why did they give us such a ¡®big gift¡¯ the moment they came up? I was almost scared to death!¡±


    Lin Feng saw An Ye, who was being helped by others, from the corner of his eye. He frowned slightly and carefully reminded her, ¡°Stop talking! If other narrow-minded people heard this, they would think you were gloating!¡±


    Zhang Yang was stunned by Lin Feng¡¯s words. He turned his head to look at Zhuang Jie, standing behind them, and shut up.


    Zhuang Xian looked at An Ye, who people in the distance were surrounding. She could hear the students¡¯ cries for help. She turned back to look at the group members beside her, smiled faintly, and said with a hint of admiration, ¡°You guys are good! This matter was handled very well. You guys have protected many students.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she did not care about Lin Feng and Zhang Yang¡¯s expressions. She reached out and patted Li Qin¡¯s shoulder. Then, she lifted her chin slightly, signaling him to follow her. ¡°When I went back to look for the squad monitor and the others just now, I was delayed by some things. Are you alright? ¡±


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, who were behind Zhuang Xian, looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths slowly curved up! The feeling of being praised by someone they thought was terrific was excellent!


    In their eyes, Zhuang Xian was already the boss of their group.


    Li Qin followed behind Zhuang Xian. When he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s question, he replied with a faint smile, ¡°What could happen to me? It¡¯s the others who are in trouble!¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian and finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time. ¡°I think this beast is something. There are so many of us here, but it didn¡¯t chase after any of us. Instead, it targeted An Ye and Ye Xin and bullied them so much that they were so scared that they cried and screamed! Hehe!¡±


    Li Qin couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing. He turned his head guiltily to look at Ye Xin¡¯s before he added in a low voice, ¡°Sister Xian, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s on the same side as you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks and looked at Li Qin speechlessly. She laughed and scolded, ¡°What do you mean on the same front? You even called it an animal the last time! Then what am I?¡±


    Li Qin returned to his senses and thought carefully, only to realize that his words were a little ambiguous. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I told the wrong thing, sister Xian.


    Zhuang Xian and Li Qin spoke very softly. The two of them talked as they walked. When they walked into the crowd surrounding An Ye, the students immediately made way for Zhuang Xian and started reporting An Ye¡¯s situation!


    ¡°Vice squad monitor, come over and take a look! The injury on this student¡¯s waist seems very serious, and her face doesn¡¯t look right either!¡±


    ¡°Argh! The side of her waist is bleeding!¡±


    ¡°Heavens! The pig¡¯s fangs couldn¡¯t have pierced it. What should we do? We¡¯re finished, we¡¯re finished!¡±


    ¡°Hey! How are you? Hurry up and feel if there¡¯s anything else that¡¯s uncomfortable. What should we do? Should we inform the instructors and the school? This is too serious!¡±

 Chapter 248 - 248 Chapter 248. F*cked by a Pig

    248 Chapter 248. F*cked by a Pig


    Zhuang Jie limped on one foot and stood two steps away in a sorry state. After dawdling for a long time, she slowly approached when the other students confirmed that An Ye was still alive. She pushed the others away and knelt beside An Ye with a trembling body.


    Zhuang Jie had really thought about An Ye¡¯s death in the first few minutes. She was so scared that she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Her rationality had been completely exhausted. She squatted next to An Ye for a long time before she dared to touch An Ye¡¯s arm.


    ¡°She¡¯s not dead yet; she¡¯s just frightened!¡± Zhuang Xian stood in front of An Ye and Zhuang Jie and said in a condescending tone.


    One of the students looked up at her and asked in confusion, ¡°Vice squad monitor, how did you know? You didn¡¯t take a good look at her condition. From what I can see, she doesn¡¯t seem to be able to move at all!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the student who spoke and squatted down expressionlessly. After pressing An Ye¡¯s lower back, she touched An Ye¡¯s legs and said, ¡°Help her unload her things. The squad monitor will be here soon.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes! We¡¯d better wait for the squad monitor to come over first!¡± Zhuang Jie was still in shock. She pulled An Ye¡¯s wrist and continued, ¡°Ye, don¡¯t sleep! Stay awake. When the squad monitor comes, I¡¯ll ask him to get you a doctor!¡±


    Besides Li Qin, no one else in the crowd understood what Zhuang Xian had done. Everyone was at a loss, but they still subconsciously followed Zhuang Xian¡¯s instructions. After they unloaded An Ye¡¯s things, the squad monitor they had been waiting for finally rushed over!


    None of them took the initiative to talk to Zhuang Jie during this time.


    The young instructor¡¯s pace was breakneck. As he led the vast group of freshmen behind him, he didn¡¯t forget to look back at the wild boar corpse surrounded by several other students not far away.


    He stood beside Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°What happened? Were you attacked?¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded slightly. She glanced at the squad monitor and said, ¡°There¡¯s a student here who was f*cked by a pig. It doesn¡¯t look serious, but she¡¯s probably frightened. Take a look!


    If the students around them had not experienced the same thrill and excitement just now, if Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression when she reported to the squad monitor were not so serious and honest, they would have laughed out loud when they heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s report!


    What did she mean by ¡®F * cked by a pig¡¯? Even though Zhuang Xian was stating the truth, it sounded comical and laughable to the ears of the crowd!


    Of course, the funny person was only An Ye herself.


    To Zhuang Xian¡¯s dozen or so classmates, Zhuang Xian is their Savior. She was a god-like figure, a goddess!


    The squad monitor naturally didn¡¯t quite understand what the students surrounding Zhuang Xian were thinking. He looked down at An Ye and turned to Zhuang Xian. ¡°You go and organize the team. Let the team leaders check their team members. Leave this to me.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and suggested to the squad monitor, ¡°I know a relatively flat open terrain 20 meters ahead. Why don¡¯t we gather there?¡±


    The environment they were in was indeed not very good. There were all kinds of big and small slopes and pits, so it wasn¡¯t easy to carry out the inventory work.


    Hearing this, the squad leader looked around and agreed with Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. He nodded and said, ¡°Alright! Bring the students over; I¡¯ll be back after I¡¯ve dealt with this.¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at An Ye and Zhuang Jie on the ground and turned to leave without saying anything.


    An Ye endured the pain and used her energy to stop herself from screaming.


    She felt that Zhuang Xian was abusing her power to take revenge for a private matter. She even said she was fine but was clearly in so much pain that she was about to die! Zhuang Xian wanted to harm her so that the squad monitor would think that her injuries were not that serious. From there, she would torture her and delay the time for her to get treatment!


    Zhuang Jie looked at Zhuang Xian as she left and frowned. Looking back at the squad monitor, she seemed to have found her pillar of support and asked, ¡°Squad monitor! How¡¯s An Ye¡¯s condition? Would you send her to the hospital directly?¡±

 Chapter 249 - 249 Chapter 249. Good Eloquence

    249 Chapter 249. Good Eloquence


    When the Squad monitor heard this, he felt that Zhuang Jie¡¯s last question was a little strange. He raised his hand to signal An Ye to move her legs and then had her lift her clothes. After looking at it carefully, he replied, ¡°It¡¯s not very serious! She has no fractures, and the wound on her lower back isn¡¯t profound. In short, she¡¯s fine!¡±


    As the squad leader spoke, he asked the team members beside An Ye to help her up. He added, ¡°But I¡¯m not sure if this animal carries any other viruses. I¡¯ll report this to the Chief Instructor! The most important thing now is that a male student from your group has to come over and help her up. We must rush over and meet up with all the other students!¡±


    ¡°But the squad monitor is urging me to go. My whole body is in pain! I don¡¯t feel like I can move at all! You¡¯re not a specialized doctor, so why are you sure I¡¯m fine? Can you get me a military doctor or send me to the hospital directly?¡± An Ye said unwillingly when she saw that the squad monitor had made such a hasty decision.


    At this moment, An Ye¡¯s face was still pale. She felt that no part of her body would not hurt even if she moved. Her injuries were severe, but in the eyes of the squad monitor and Zhuang Xian, it was not a big deal. Wasn¡¯t this a little too exaggerated?!


    An Ye even began to suspect that Zhuang Xian had bribed the squad monitor to speak up for Zhuang Xian and not care about her injury.


    The squad leader, wearing a dark-colored camouflage training suit, naturally understood what An Ye was implying. He glanced at An Ye, who was half-lying on the ground, and after a moment of silence, he said, ¡°You can go to the hospital if you want! However, according to the military training agreement, if a student leaves the military training team, it will be considered an automatic abandonment!¡±


    The class monitor looked deeply at An Ye and continued, ¡°I believe you know what the consequences are if you give up during military training or fail to meet the standard!¡±


    When An Ye heard this, she felt that what the squad monitor said was ridiculous and funny. She laughed contemptuously before saying, ¡°So, squad monitor, you don¡¯t care about the life and death of our students, right? I don¡¯t understand. Is military training more important than the students¡¯ lives? Did the agreement exceed the student¡¯s health? Does the military not care about the safety of the students at all?¡±


    It was undeniable that An Ye¡¯s eloquence was perfect! These accusations immediately described the military and Saint Capital College as unkind and unjust.


    However, before An Ye could finish gloating over her eloquence, the squad monitor looked at her indifferently and stood up. He said calmly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to argue with me. I¡¯m not the one who made the agreement and rules. I¡¯m only responsible for carrying out the orders from the higher-ups! I¡¯ve already told you all the choices. What you want to do is your own business. Anyway, you¡¯ll bear the consequences yourself, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!¡±


    As the class monitor spoke, he also noticed An Ye¡¯s unwillingness and anger, so he added in a cold voice, ¡°According to my many years of experience in the Army, I can guarantee that the injuries on your body are not serious! As for the pain all over your body you mentioned, I don¡¯t understand!


    There¡¯s a student in our squad who was also injured. His injuries were even more severe than yours, but he insisted on following the team! I know he¡¯s probably just worried about whether he¡¯ll be expelled, but at least he¡¯s willing to persist. He won¡¯t just blame the instructor and the school if he mistakes or gets injured! You¡¯re only injured because you¡¯re too weak! Why could the other students escape and even counterattack such an attack? Have you ever considered that it was all because of you?¡±


    As he said this, his furrowed brows became agitated. ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m just saying this to teach you a lesson. I¡¯ll be much more relaxed if you leave! It would be best if you thought about this from the school¡¯s point of view. Is the military training to torture you? Didn¡¯t you guys learn anything from the military training? I think what you¡¯re doing now, assuming that you¡¯re brilliant and saying a few far-fetched words to cover up your intention to retreat, is very shameful!

 Chapter 250 - 250 Chapter 250. Do You Want to Forfeit?

    250 Chapter 250. Do You Want to Forfeit?


    After the squad monitor finished speaking, he was silent for a while before looking down at An Ye. ¡°How is it? Have you made your choice? Will you put away your acting skills and continue to follow me? Or do you want me to help you forfeit? You choose!¡±


    Listening to the squad monitor¡¯s explanation and lecture, An Ye was stunned. She listened to the entire process and slowly dispelled her doubts about the squad monitor. Zhuang Xian could not have bribed such an upright and outspoken instructor!


    The squad monitor didn¡¯t have any reason to lie to her. So was her injury not a big deal? But she wasn¡¯t lying. Her body was really in great pain!


    Zhuang Jie looked at An Ye, who had fallen into silence, and comforted her uneasily, ¡°Ye, if you¡¯re alright, let¡¯s keep going! You¡¯re not thinking of dropping out, are you? It¡¯s not worth it. We¡¯ll grit our teeth and persevere through it. Don¡¯t be impulsive!¡±


    An Ye looked up at Zhuang Jie helplessly, but she couldn¡¯t explain herself. No one would believe her even if she said it.


    ¡°Student, have you considered it? Can you not waste everyone¡¯s time here? There are still a lot of students waiting for us to meet up.¡± One of the boys in An Ye¡¯s group said impatiently.


    He was the boy who had a big fight with Zhuang Jie earlier. He was equally annoyed and disdainful of Zhuang Jie and An Ye. If he weren¡¯t forced to stay and help by the squad monitor, he would have left with the rest of the team with another member.


    ¡°Do you want to leave or stay? Just say it directly!¡± The boy saw An Ye only look at him with dark eyes, so he didn¡¯t feel any pressure and continued to speak. He had already fallen out with them, so there was no need to pretend to be nice to them!


    Zhuang Jie looked up at the inpatient squad monitor and pulled An Ye¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, Ye, get up! I¡¯ll support you, and we¡¯ll continue walking down together. You can¡¯t just be expelled before entering the Academy. Won¡¯t you be scolded to death by your parents when you go home? Come!¡±


    As Zhuang Jie said this, she stretched her hand to her tentatively.


    A few seconds later, Zhuang Jie looked at An Ye¡¯s hand on her hand and sighed slightly. The male member who had a good impression of An Ye also reached out to hold her arm and asked, ¡°Do you need me to piggyback you for a while?¡±


    An Ye was naturally happy that someone was willing to carry her under such circumstances. She nodded lightly and smiled on her pale face. ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The squad leader understood An Ye¡¯s meaning. After calmly looking away, he ordered, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The male student in front of An Ye and Zhuang Jie scoffed at An Ye¡¯s action. He rolled his eyes speechlessly and turned around, saying sarcastically, ¡°Why were you pretending before? Did you think you were that great? What the hell!¡±


    An Ye looked at him sincerely without saying anything.


    An Ye was the kind of person who was very clear about her goals and the most flexible and rational person. She understood how to minimize her losses in the current situation. She understood the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils!


    Although the situation was not very friendly to her, it was not the worst. She could take one step at a time and decide her next choice according to the situation.


    Zhuang Jie had been trying so hard to persuade An Ye to continue because she understood that in their group of five, no one would be willing to help her except for An Ye!


    It was only the first day of military training. There were still many difficulties waiting for her. She didn¡¯t want to be alone and helpless.


    Their group, divided and had their thoughts, was destined not to go far!


    Let¡¯s not talk about other people. Take Zhuang Jie and An Ye, this pair of good friends on the surface, for example. They were selfish and had their thoughts. An Ye did look down on Zhuang Jie¡¯s stupidity, but Zhuang Jie also had her thoughts and abilities!


    For such a phenomenon, it could only be said that birds of a feather flock together. The two scheming against each other was not the rarest thing.

 Chapter 251 - 251 Chapter 251. Why Did You Save Her?

    251 Chapter 251. Why Did You Save Her?


    Zhuang Xian was standing on a broken tree branch, holding the name list given by the squad monitor in her hand. She was counting the number of people with the group leaders below!


    ¡°That¡¯s enough. Other than Zhuang Jie¡¯s group of five, no one in our squad is missing.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she kept the booklet, thought for a moment, and then ordered, ¡°All team leaders, organize your team members to rest here and eat something! For safety¡¯s sake, don¡¯t spread out too much!¡±


    After what had happened just now, Zhuang Xian¡¯s authority and her words had increased a lot. Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s aura and said with a faint smile, ¡°Sister Xian, you¡¯re good! It hadn¡¯t even been a day, and you had already subdued so many people! I¡¯m impressed!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him and sat down cross-legged on the thick trunk of the tree. She said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s just a group of children. I feel that it¡¯s better to have fewer people injured!¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he was a little surprised. He turned to look at Zhuang Xian and raised his eyebrows.¡±Sister Xian, when did you become so kind? This isn¡¯t your usual attitude towards me.¡±


    The only response Li Qin received was from Zhuang Xian, rolling her eyes.


    He reached into his backpack and took out a packet of biscuits. He tore open the box and handed it to Zhuang Xian. ¡°Have some! You didn¡¯t eat anything this afternoon, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian shook her head and pulled out the dagger from her waist. She took a piece of tissue paper and wiped it carefully. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry; you can eat it.¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s lack of interest, Li Qin could only eat by himself. He looked at the students sitting in a circle in front of him. After half a minute of silence, he suddenly remembered that he still had questions he could not understand.


    He turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile. After some thought, he asked, ¡°Sister Xian, don¡¯t you still have a grudge against Ye Xin? Why did you save her when the wild boar was about to attack her? Isn¡¯t it better to let her learn a little more?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands paused for a moment, and a dark glint flashed across her eyes hidden in the night. She replied softly, ¡°Who said I was trying to save her? I didn¡¯t want to see that beast hurt Zhang Yang. It was completely enraged by you. If I didn¡¯t kill it, more people would get hurt. That¡¯s not what I want to see.¡±


    Zhuang Xian had not expected the sudden appearance of this wild boar. This was not part of her original plan. She had not attacked these people yet! Perhaps the heavens could not bear to watch. After Zhuang Xian¡¯s enemies entered the military training, all kinds of accidents kept happening, and they never stopped getting injured.


    When Li Qin heard this, he nodded. The situation at the time was hazardous. Even he felt An Ye, and Ye Xin couldn¡¯t be completely unscathed. When they came out of the forest, he also thought of saving Ye Xin!


    Li Qin wasn¡¯t the only one who didn¡¯t understand why Zhuang Xian would save Ye Xin. Even Ye Xin couldn¡¯t understand the reason for Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions!


    Ye Xin was with Zhang Yang and Lin Feng. She was sitting under the big tree behind Zhuang Xian. Her eyes were constantly looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back. She didn¡¯t think that Zhuang Xian was such a kind person. She didn¡¯t even care about her safety and rushed to save two acquaintances.


    At least, in Ye Xin¡¯s opinion, she would never do something strenuous and not necessarily beneficial if benefits didn¡¯t drive it! Ye Xin was an exquisitely self-centered person. She was also a ¡®good actress¡¯ who was very good at hiding her selfishness and hypocrisy!


    ¡°Why do you keep staring at sister Xian?¡± Zhang Yang noticed that something was wrong with Ye Xin. He looked at Zhuang Xian with the help of the flashlight and turned back to look at Ye Xin.


    Ye Xin returned to her senses and chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just wondering why the Vice squad monitor is so skilled. Did she practice martial arts or something? ¡±


    When Zhang Yang heard this, he thought Ye Xin was just like him. She was curious about Zhuang Xian because she liked and admired her. ¡°I think it¡¯s possible. Sister Xian¡¯s skills are immaculate. She can¡¯t be this good without a few years of training! I was so moved when sister Xian descended from the sky to save us!¡±

 Chapter 252 - 252 Chapter 252. I Like Sister Xian

    252 Chapter 252. I Like Sister Xian


    ¡°I only knew that I was lucky to have survived the disaster. I didn¡¯t even thank sister Xian properly. I was too careless!¡± As Zhang Yang spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and slowly became infatuated with her. He mumbled, ¡°Sister Xian is so beautiful! I don¡¯t know what kind of guy she likes. Is it possible for her to like someone like me?¡±


    Lin Feng had been quietly listening to their conversation. He smiled. ¡°So, you¡¯ve already fallen for sister Xian? ¡±


    Zhang Yang gave a simple and honest smile. His sweaty and dirty face revealed a faint shyness. He nodded his head lightly, but he did not express his love.


    Lin Feng looked at his foolish brother and continued, ¡°In my opinion, sister Xian definitely won¡¯t like someone like you!¡±


    Zhang Yang was stunned. He knew Lin Feng had always been brilliant, so he asked, ¡°Why? Where did you get that from?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a feeling! I think sister Xian doesn¡¯t just look cold and unapproachable. She¡¯s the kind of person who¡¯s truly indifferent and doesn¡¯t care about many things! Plus, I don¡¯t think you like her. You admire her!¡± Lin Feng shook the branch in his hand and said with a relaxed expression.


    Zhang Yang looked at Lin Feng, who had just poured cold water on him. He snorted and said, ¡°You¡¯re speaking as if you know! Why? Do you even know how to read fortunes?¡±


    Ye Xin sat to the side and listened to her two teammates¡¯ long discussion about Zhuang Xian. The displeasure in her heart slowly began to rise again.


    She recalled how Mo Qian specially treated Zhuang Xian, and the corners of her mouth twitched. ¡°Of course, Zhuang Xian wouldn¡¯t like someone like you!¡±


    As Ye Xin spoke, she turned her head and looked at Zhang Yang. Her meaning was obvious. She said that Zhuang Xian would never like a guy like Zhang Yang!


    Without waiting for Zhang Yang and Lin Feng¡¯s reaction, Ye Xin laughed sarcastically under the night sky, ¡°Zhuang Xian likes those rich and powerful CEOs! You might not know this yet, but Zhuang Xian is the Zhuang family¡¯s newly adopted daughter! If we count that student Zhuang Jie from the group next to ours, they are cousins!¡±


    Lin Feng squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Xin. He asked in a deep voice, ¡°So, what do you want to say?¡±


    When Ye Xin saw Lin Feng¡¯s expression, she immediately understood that he was a little unhappy with how she had spoken about Zhuang Xian!


    Ye Xin couldn¡¯t understand! Just like Zhuang Xian, she was part of the team with these two sports students. She was the one who had pulled these two sports students into the group! It had only been less than a day, and the two were already so devoted to Zhuang Xian.


    Could it be that Zhuang Xian still had a charm that she could not feel? Or could it be that Zhuang Xian knew how to drug people? Ye Xin was puzzled, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face.


    She smiled gently and said softly to Lin Feng, ¡°Lin Feng, what are you angry about? I just wanted to say that Zhuang Jie and An Ye were in such a miserable state. As Zhuang Jie¡¯s sister, Zhuang Xian is so good at fighting, so why didn¡¯t she help them? I really can¡¯t figure it out!¡±


    Ye Xin acted as if she didn¡¯t understand what was going on, her pretty and innocent face full of confusion.


    Ye Xin had always been proud of her cleverness, so she had always been very good at using this trick of insincere guidance and pretending to be innocent of sowing discord. Very few people could escape from her trap!


    However, Ye Xin was destined to fail today!


    Among the three of them, other than Zhang Yang, who was not as bright as Ye Xin, there were no other idiots. Lin Feng¡¯s IQ and EQ seemed even higher than Ye Xin¡¯s!


    At the very least, Lin Feng had witnessed Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions in saving people. Zhuang Xian might be a cold and indifferent person who doesn¡¯t like to talk much and doesn¡¯t like to give long-winded explanations. However, the things she had done were far better than Ye Xin¡¯s, who only knew how to hide in the crowd and deliberately defame others and stir up trouble!


    Lin Feng glanced at Ye Xin and raised an eyebrow. He snorted and said, ¡°Sister Xian didn¡¯t help them? Did I remember it wrong, or are you blind? When Zhuang Jie twisted her ankle, sister Xian was the one who immediately instructed people to take care of her! Sister Xian was the first to notice that the squad leader and the others weren¡¯t following us, so she told us to wait and rest!¡±

 Chapter 253 - 253 Chapter 253. A Brand New Brain

    253 Chapter 253. A Brand New Brain


    ¡°If not for this, do you know how far we would have been separated from the main group? Do you know how much danger there is in between?¡± Lin Feng¡¯s gaze turned cold as he looked at Ye Xin.


    Ye Xin was taken aback. She didn¡¯t expect her scheme to fail and that Lin Feng would be so protective of Zhuang Xian that he would even fall out with her to speak up for her! Why was this so?


    Ye Xin, slowly returning to her senses, put on a delicate and aggrieved smile and retorted softly, ¡°I don¡¯t have any other intentions! I feel that Zhuang Xian was too cold to Zhuang Jie, but Zhuang Jie is her cousin!¡±


    ¡°So what? What are you trying to say?¡± Lin Feng furrowed his brows and asked.


    Zhang Yang looked at the two people quarreling beside him; he was a little confused. He swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°What are you two doing? Can¡¯t we talk things out?¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at his brother Lin Feng with a strange look and continued, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Lin Feng? Why are you being so fierce to Ye Xin? You weren¡¯t such an ungentlemanly person in the past. What triggered you?¡±


    Lin Feng turned around and looked at Zhang Yang with disappointment. He was speechless, ¡°When you¡¯re free, you should use your new brain!¡±


    Zhang Yang, ¡°¡­¡±


    Ye Xin immediately understood the situation. Zhang Yang was still on her side. With a flash in her mind, she immediately changed her target. A pitiful look appeared on her delicate face as she looked at Zhang Yang with her big eyes, ¡± Zhang Yang, stop arguing with Lin Feng! It¡¯s all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have told you all this and let Lin Feng misunderstand my meaning!¡±


    As she spoke, she turned to look at Lin Feng and sniffed, feeling a little aggrieved. ¡°Lin Feng, I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re protecting Zhuang Xian so unreasonably! I didn¡¯t say anything wrong. I was telling the truth and stating my own opinion! As our team leader and the Vice squad monitor, shouldn¡¯t Zhuang Xian take care of the injured students?¡±


    As Ye Xin spoke, she slowly lowered her head. She looked a little sad and confused. ¡°Zhuang Jie is her sister. If she can treat her so coldly, what about us, who are only her team members? This is only the first day of military training. What are we going to do from now on? ¡±


    Lin Feng¡¯s tightly furrowed brows were like a tightly-knitted mound after hearing Ye Xin¡¯s words. After silence, he suddenly said, ¡°Do you have a personal grudge against sister Xian? Why do you keep trying to defame her in such a roundabout way?¡±


    ¡°What are you saying, Lin Feng? what the f*ck!¡± Ye Xin pretended to be surprised when she heard Lin Feng¡¯s words. Naturally, she would never admit that she had deliberately led Zhang Yang to misunderstand Zhuang Xian!


    However, she was interrupted by Lin Feng halfway through her rebuttal.


    The corner of Lin Feng¡¯s mouth curled up as he sneered, ¡°What did you say? I¡¯m naturally straightforward. Compared to people like you who only dare to hide behind other people¡¯s backs and badmouth them, I¡¯m much more straightforward!


    ¡°To think that I thought the five of us in this group were easy to get along with and could be good friends! You¡¯ve disguised yourself well; I almost couldn¡¯t see through you! Now, can you stop treating everyone like fools?¡±


    Lin Feng glanced at Zhang Yang helplessly as he spoke. Then, he turned back to Ye Xin and continued, ¡°You have so many opinions and words. Do you want me to take you to sister Xian and confront her directly? ¡±


    Lin Feng¡¯s voice was booming as if he wanted everyone to know, especially Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, who were sitting in front of them.


    Zhuang Xian seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look at the people who had suddenly started arguing.


    Ye Xin looked deeply at Lin Feng as she suppressed the anger and jealousy that was about to overflow from her heart. She buried her anger and tried to hold back her anger as she feigned confusion and said, ¡°What do I have to confront her for? Is there something wrong with what I said? Aren¡¯t we team members? How can you get angry over a slight disagreement? I don¡¯t understand!¡±


    As Ye Xin spoke, she slowly turned her head around under the watchful eyes of her classmates. She wiped her tears and looked very aggrieved as if she was the victim. She was the one who was being isolated and hated by her team members!

 Chapter 254 - 254 Chapter 254. Incited Conflict

    254 Chapter 254. Incited Conflict


    Zhang Yang finally realized that Ye Xin¡¯s attitude was a little strange. From what Ye Xin had said, there was some truth to it. If sister Xian was related to Zhuang Jie, her attitude toward Zhuang Jie was just slightly too cold.


    However, if one looked back and thought about it, one would realize that Zhuang Jie and An Ye¡¯s attitude toward Zhuang Xian was the same. They were even hostile!


    The strangest thing was that sister Xian had just saved Ye Xin¡¯s life when she was up there!


    Ye Xin wasn¡¯t grateful; instead, she kept harping on sister Xian¡¯s little flaw. Wasn¡¯t this a little too illogical? Or was there something else that they didn¡¯t know?


    Zhang Yang thought to himself as he turned his head to look at his brother, Lin Feng, who was also too excited.


    Lin Feng glanced at Zhuang Xian from the corner of his eye. When he turned to look at Ye Xin, his eyes were filled with ridicule. ¡°You don¡¯t understand? Stop pretending to be innocent. If you have the guts, say those words in front of everyone again! I have never seen such an ungrateful person like you! It¡¯s sister Xian¡¯s generosity that she doesn¡¯t want to talk about, but I can¡¯t stand people like you who always stab others in the back!¡±


    As Lin Feng spoke, he stood up with a flashlight. After he steadied himself, he looked at the other students around him and explained, ¡± When the wild boar attacked our Group Three just now, it was the Vice squad monitor who took down the wild boar by herself without caring about her safety!


    If sister Xian hadn¡¯t killed the beast before it could kiss your face, how could you, Ye Xin, be sitting here so peacefully, speaking ill of her in such a weird and petty way? I don¡¯t understand. Sister Xian just saved your life! It¡¯s OK if you¡¯re not grateful, but why are you making bogus accusations instead? What are you thinking, Ye Xin?¡±


    As Lin Feng spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian. When he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s indifferent expression, as if she didn¡¯t care about this matter, his hatred for Ye Xin grew even more vital!


    They were both girls, but why were Ye Xin and Zhuang Xian so different?


    Zhuang Xian was as cold as the moon, but her heart was filled with kindness and love. She was proud and beautiful!


    Ye Xin, on the other hand, was a hypocrite. For the sake of her unpresentable schemes and selfishness, she would only use the underhanded tricks she was used to behind other people¡¯s backs. Her heart was sinister and childish, and her pretense was disgusting!


    If any students present knew Lin Feng, they would know that Lin Feng was furious. Otherwise, with Lin Feng¡¯s emotional intelligence and intelligence, he would not have done something like slapping someone in the face on the spot.


    Zhang Yang naturally knew Lin Feng well. He also knew that his brother was not the kind of person who would cause trouble without reason.


    He glanced at Lin Feng¡¯s side profile before turning back to Ye Xin. He furrowed his brows and chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, Ye Xin, Lin Feng¡¯s right! How can you say that about sister Xian? You didn¡¯t thank her for saving us, did you? How can you be such a person?¡±


    Just as Zhang Yang finished speaking, the squad monitor led An Ye and Zhuang Jie¡¯s team over from a distance. He looked at all the students sitting on the ground in an orderly manner and was even more satisfied with Zhuang Xian¡¯s leadership ability.


    The squad monitor motioned for the male student carrying An Ye to follow them. When they reached Zhuang Xian, he asked, ¡°From far away, I could hear you guys talking loudly! What¡¯s wrong? What are you arguing about?¡±


    Zhuang Xian supported her body with one hand and nimbly jumped down from the tree. She looked at the squad monitor and smiled, ¡°Nothing much. One of my team members seems to have some opinions about some of my work. Lin Feng and Zhang Yang are arguing with her!¡±


    The squad monitor turned around and glanced at Lin Feng and his team. He immediately recognized the team member that Zhuang Xian had mentioned, who had a problem with him. The squad monitor¡¯s sharp eyes swept over Ye Xin as he said in a deep voice, ¡°Student Zhuang Xian has already made many contributions to our squad! She¡¯s my vice squad monitor, and everything she does is under my instructions. If any of you have a problem with her, that¡¯s the same as having a problem with my orders! Do you understand?¡±

 Chapter 255 - 255 Chapter 255. Squad Monitor Protecting His Children

    255 Chapter 255. Squad Monitor Protecting His Children


    After Luo Fei spoke, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at Ye Xin¡¯s reaction. He lifted his hand and glanced at the time on his watch. He let out a soft sigh and scanned his surroundings as if he had made a tough decision. He then turned to Zhuang Xian and said softly, ¡°Right now, two students in our group are injured, and their injuries are not light! I plan to let everyone rest for the night and continue to rush to the target location tomorrow morning! The place you¡¯ve chosen is quite suitable!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard squad leader Luo¡¯s words, she already understood what he meant. She thought for a moment and said, ¡°None of the students have any experience in cross-country hiking. It¡¯s already so difficult to travel during the day, let alone continue at night! Squad leader, your decision is very wise. I also thought so just now. The terrain here is relatively flatter and suitable for setting up tents and resting!¡±


    Luo Fei nodded and added, ¡°The view here is also splendid. If there¡¯s any sudden situation, we can also notice it immediately!


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian curiously. He asked the question that had been bothering him the whole day, ¡°I see that you¡¯re very familiar with the military field training and some of the soldier¡¯s combat methods. Did you serve in the Army before? ¡±


    Luo Fei had already wanted to ask this question when he and Zhuang Xian had rescued the student who had accidentally fallen into an animal trap. From Zhuang Xian¡¯s decisiveness and intelligence, she was a soldier with individual solid combat experience and strength!


    However, when he looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s young and beautiful face, Luo Fei was not sure. Zhuang Xian seemed too young. If she had military experience, how old was she when she joined the Army?


    Zhuang Xian knew that she could not hide her abilities and was prepared to be questioned by outsiders. She looked at Luo Fei and explained, ¡°I¡¯ve never been a soldier. I have a Grandpa who¡¯s a soldier. He likes to train us like this, so I know more about it.


    Li Qin quietly listened to the conversation between sister Xian and the squad monitor. It was only when he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s last sentence that he couldn¡¯t help but look up at her. The cunning in his eyes was almost out of control.


    Zhuang Xian glared at him without saying anything and let the squad monitor look at her.


    After half a minute, Luo Fei reluctantly nodded, showing that he had accepted Zhuang Xian¡¯s explanation. He turned around and climbed up the tree beside him. He said to the students around him in a clear voice, ¡°Everyone, set up a tent on the spot. We¡¯re going to rest here for the night! It¡¯s getting late, so we have to move quickly. The tents in your military backpacks are the simplest and easiest to unpack. If you don¡¯t know how to unpack them, you can learn from each other! If you can¡¯t solve it, you can come to me! Now, move!¡±


    Everyone, including Li Qin, was pleased with Luo Fei¡¯s order. After a long day, no one would not want to rest.


    Lin Feng and Ye Xin, whose argument had been interrupted by the squad monitor, had also given up and began to throw themselves into their group¡¯s tent-setting operation. However, the two of them didn¡¯t like each other.


    Ye Xin squatted on the ground and looked at the tent stands scattered all over the ground. She heaved a deep, relieved sigh, feeling helpless and angry. The feeling of being in someone else¡¯s palm all the time made her feel uncomfortable!


    Zhuang Xian and Li Qin were not the only ones who were not on good terms with her. The four in her group seemed to dislike her, including Zhang Yang, who had risked his life to save her. He appeared to be dissatisfied with her because she argued with Lin Feng. Now, he was no longer giving her a good look.


    Ye Xin was sulking as she looked at the ground when she heard a voice calling her from her left. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Zhuang Jie acting suspiciously!


    ¡°Student Ye Xin! Ye Xin? Ye Xin!¡± Zhuang Jie called out softly as she looked at Ye Xin¡¯s back. When she saw her turn around, she immediately tiptoed to Ye Xin!


    Ye Xin looked up at her but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Seeing Ye Xin¡¯s neutral expression, Zhuang Jie immediately put on a flattering smile and said to Ye Xin, ¡°I am Zhuang Jie; thank you for speaking up for me just now! Zhuang Xian has always been a lunatic.¡±


    When she heard Zhuang Jie¡¯s resentful tone, Ye Xin felt she could roughly guess why she had come to find her!


    A light flashed across Ye Xin¡¯s mind. She smiled gently and said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome; I¡¯m just saying what I have to say!¡±

 Chapter 256 - 256 Chapter 256. Enemies Gathering

    256 Chapter 256. Enemies Gathering


    ¡°I can¡¯t stand the squad monitor and the other students protecting her like this. I feel that you guys are a little pitiful! Of course, I¡¯m also a little alone now!¡± Ye Xin¡¯s tone was deliberately self-pitying as she spoke.


    When Zhuang Jie heard this, her eyes lit up. After looking around and not seeing Zhuang Xian, she said in a low voice, ¡°She has always been good at seducing men. At home, her two brothers were tricked by her in this way! However,¡­ ¡±


    Zhuang Jie paused briefly and looked at Ye Xin with a meaningful gaze.


    Ye Xin naturally understood what Zhuang Jie meant, but she smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. She wanted to wait for Zhuang Jie to speak to her first!


    As expected, Zhuang Jie, who thought she had Ye Xin under her control, couldn¡¯t hold back her excitement and said in a low voice, ¡°But since you also hate Zhuang Xian, then you¡¯re my friend with An Ye! I see that the two boys in your group have also been seduced by Zhuang Xian and are on her side. Do you want to ally with us girls?¡±


    Zhuang Jie smiled as she looked at Ye Xin. Her big eyes seemed to be filled with sincerity. However, what she thought about was that she had another person who could help her complete the military training this time!


    Of course, she also thought that An Ye was brilliant! From the conversation between Zhuang Xian and the squad monitor, An Ye could tell that Ye Xin was just like them. She was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Xian, which was why Zhuang Jie had come to persuade Ye Xin.


    Ye Xin glanced at Zhuang Jie and smiled. A dark light flashed across her eyes as she said, ¡°Ally with you? Is there any benefit to me? Based on the two of you limping and paralyzed, are you sure we¡¯re an alliance? Aren¡¯t you the ones who want me to help you?¡±


    Zhuang Jie choked at Ye Xin¡¯s words. She swallowed her saliva with difficulty and wiped the smile off her face. ¡°Do you think you can go against Zhuang Xian on your own? You also need An Ye and me.¡±


    The atmosphere became tense as the two of them refused to give in.


    At the same time, Zhuang Jie also realized a problem. The Ye Xin in front of her was not a simple person! Ye Xin was brilliant. Her words didn¡¯t work on her; instead, she played a small trick. Fortunately, her reaction wasn¡¯t too slow, and she almost fell for her trick!


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s heart tightened as she thought about this, but she maintained a calm expression. She had a hunch that if she lost to Ye Xin in this gamble, her future cooperation with An Ye and Ye Xin would be in a disadvantageous position.


    Under the night sky, the campsite was bustling with activity. The student¡¯s chattering could be heard echoing in the air. After about a minute, Ye Xin suddenly smiled at Zhuang Jie. A sincere smile appeared on her delicate and refined face as she said, ¡°Since we all have the same enemy, this is the best bargaining chip for our cooperation! I¡¯ll accept your invitation!¡±


    Zhuang Jie let out a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, ¡°That would be the best.¡±


    ¡°But then again, is An Ye¡¯s injury okay? If she can¡¯t take it anymore and quit the military training, we¡¯ll be the only ones left! Is she alright?¡± Ye Xin looked at Zhang Yang and Lin Feng, who were standing not far away from her and whispered.


    Zhuang Jie also glanced at them and naturally picked up the tent fork on the ground. While helping them, she did not forget to reply in a deep voice; the squad monitor said she was fine, but An Ye herself noted that the pain was severe and not a minor injury. I don¡¯t know which one of them is telling the truth.


    Speaking of this, Zhuang Jie was confused! Logically speaking, An Ye didn¡¯t have to pretend to be seriously injured. There was no benefit to it. However, An Ye¡¯s face was pale and fragile even though she complained that her whole body was in pain!


    The squad monitor also firmly believed that she wasn¡¯t injured and was only pretending to be sick to avoid military training. Just like that, the two of them were at loggerheads with each other, and neither side was willing to back down.


    An Ye was under pressure and couldn¡¯t argue with the squad monitor. She could only grit her teeth and swallow her words, feeling extremely pained.


    In Zhuang Jie¡¯s heart, she had a faint intuition that ever since she entered this military training organized by the Academy, she and An Ye felt as if they were being tightly held in the palm of a big hand. Let alone escaping, even if they wanted to struggle, they would have to pay a painful price!

 Chapter 257 - 257 Chapter 257. Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie

    257 Chapter 257. Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie


    To sum up, the things they had experienced all day were highly tragic! Some of them had sprains, some had fallen, and in the end, they were even chased or attacked by the wild boar in the mountains. It was as embarrassing as it could get!


    No matter how stupid a person was, they could still be intelligent and quick-witted for a moment. The thought that flashed through Zhuang Jie¡¯s mind was proper. The reason why they were so miserable and embarrassed was all because of Zhuang Xian¡¯s various schemes.


    Although Zhuang Jie was secretly happy that she had finally obtained an ¡®Ally¡¯ like Ye Xin, she didn¡¯t cherish this fleeting thought and allowed the correct clue to slip away from her thoughts.


    Seeing that Zhuang Jie was lost in her thoughts, Ye Xin reminded her softly, ¡°I know what happened between the two of you, but now is not the time to talk! You can go back first; I¡¯ll think of a way to come and find you later.¡±


    As she spoke, she motioned for Zhuang Jie to pay attention to Zhang Yang and Lin Feng, who were behind them.


    Zhuang Jie understood. After nodding her head slightly, she left without a sound.


    Lin Feng glanced at Zhuang Jie¡¯s departing figure. When he turned back to look at Ye Xin, his furrowed brows became even colder. He stepped forward and walked to Ye Xin¡¯s side, asking coldly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You ¡®fought for someone¡¯s injustice¡¯, and someone came to express their gratitude? Or do you want to join them? You should go. Without you, our group will be even more perfect.¡±


    Lin Feng felt increasingly disdainful of their sneaky ways of forming gangs. They were childish and despicable.


    After speaking, he glanced at Ye Xin, who still hadn¡¯t commented. His cold face was filled with coldness.


    Ye Xin got up and stood in front of Lin Feng. She looked him in the eye and said, ¡°What happens between me and them is my business. What does it have to do with you?¡±


    As Ye Xin spoke, she saw Zhuang Xian and Li Qin walking over from a distance. She laughed sarcastically and said in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯re so protective of Zhuang Xian, so you¡¯re interested in her? Do you like her? But that doesn¡¯t mean that she¡¯ll take a fancy to you. Your hot face is almost sticking to her cold ass! Did Zhuang Xian even look at you? You fool!¡±


    The current Ye Xin, spewing venomous and bitter words, was completely different from the image she had shown earlier. It was as if she was a completely different person. Zhang Yang stood behind the tent set up and heard everything Ye Xin had said to Lin Feng!


    He didn¡¯t know what he should think. He thought she was an innocent, delicate, bright, and lovely girl, but her appearance behind his back was such a sinister and mean person! It was no wonder Lin Feng would go against Ye Xin like this. Ye Xin was despicable.


    After hearing Ye Xin¡¯s words, the corners of Lin Feng¡¯s mouth turned up in relief. He looked into Ye Xin¡¯s eyes, which were filled with contempt and disdain. ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with liking someone as sincere and unpretentious as sister Xian! It¡¯s better than being blind and thinking you¡¯re innocent and kind! You don¡¯t have to mock me anymore, and you don¡¯t have to worry about how I¡¯ll target you. The wicked will be dealt with by the wicked; we¡¯ll wait and see!¡±


    After Lin Feng finished speaking, he picked up the equipment on the ground and returned to his previous position. He raised his head and saw Zhuang Xian looking at him.


    It wasn¡¯t as if Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t notice the little interaction between Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie. She wasn¡¯t surprised, nor was she worried. She was happy to see it happen!


    Wasn¡¯t it a good thing that the enemies had gathered together? It would save her the time of defeating them one by one.


    ¡°Lin Feng! Thank you for speaking up for me just now, but they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, so it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t provoke them again.¡± Zhuang Xian handed the food to Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, then looked at Lin Feng.


    Lin Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. It took him a few seconds to digest Zhuang Xian¡¯s indifference. A warm smile appeared when he turned to look at the girl beside him. ¡°I understand, sister Xian. I¡¯ll be careful! You don¡¯t have to thank me. I can¡¯t stand Ye Xin¡¯s slandering of you.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian nodded her head slightly. She did not mind Lin Feng¡¯s strange little expression and went to look at the tent that her team had set up. She picked up the things on the ground and started to work quietly.


    Li Qin patted Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder and sighed. He left without saying anything.

 Chapter 258 - 258 Chapter 258. Im Very Willing to Part With it

    258 Chapter 258. I¡¯m Very Willing to Part With it


    Behind Li Qin, only Lin Feng and Zhang Yang remained silent. They were looking at the things in their hands, and no one knew what they were thinking.


    ¡°He said a few words for you. Sister Xian, you don¡¯t have to reject him so coldly. We¡¯re all on the same team. You¡¯re too cold.¡± Li Qin squatted down beside his sister Xian and handed her something.


    Zhuang Xian took it from him and looked at it for a while. After that, she started organizing her team. ¡°This is good for both of them. Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie aren¡¯t magnanimous people. If they hold a grudge against them, it¡¯ll be troublesome.¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he also pretended to nod in understanding. However, he was still a young boy, after all. He couldn¡¯t bear it and continued, ¡°I understand, but sister Xian, you¡¯re such a perfect person. Do you have to seal your heart away from love? I think Lin Feng¡¯s a good guy too. He¡¯s handsome and has a good personality.¡±


    Li Qin felt it would be great if his sister Xian could make more friends.


    It was pretty tiring to live for the Zhuang family and revenge. He would like his sister Xian to live a happier life!


    After hearing Li Qin¡¯s mumbling, Zhuang Xian turned around and glanced at him. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°What if you can¡¯t speak? I can¡¯t guarantee that I won¡¯t be able to resist the urge to beat you up next time, you know?¡±


    Li Qin was unmoved. Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s feigned fierce and indifferent expression, he rolled his eyes slightly and replied, ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your good. You¡¯re willing to beat me up!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her hand and mercilessly smacked Li Qin on the head. Looking at Li Qin, rubbing his head and wailing in pain, Zhuang Xian said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m very willing to do so.¡±


    Ignoring Li Qin¡¯s coquettish actions, her heart was not wholly unmoved when Zhuang Xian turned around. How could she not understand Li Qin¡¯s concern for her? It was just that these things were a little too complicated to discuss now, and she was too lazy to explain.


    But Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t avoid thinking about someone in her heart! At this time, the next day, this person would have to undergo the subsequent acupuncture treatment.


    In the Chief Instructor¡¯s tent at the Blue Eagle Mountain military training base, Lei Cheng had just hung up on squad leader Luo Fei¡¯s report call. He had just thrown his phone away when he turned around and saw the old man who could make the military and political circles of Z Country tremble with just a stomp of his foot.


    Li Zhen looked at Lei Cheng¡¯s completely stunned expression and smiled faintly. The wrinkles at the corner of his eyebrows curved slightly. ¡°What are you standing there for? Don¡¯t you recognize me?¡±


    Lei Cheng suddenly returned to his senses, stood up straight, and saluted in a clear voice, ¡°Good day, old Chief!¡±


    Li Zhen nodded and walked to the seat beside him, directly sitting on a chair. The old man looked at the tent with a smile and asked gently, ¡°How do you feel today? It¡¯s not easy to teach students from the Saint Capital!¡±


    Lei Cheng had never expected that the old chief Li Zhen would personally come to inspect his work so late at night. His mind was in a daze for half a minute before slowly recovering. He was busy pouring water for the chief, but he did not forget to answer the old chief¡¯s question. ¡°A new student who just entered the school is inevitably a little jittery. He¡¯ll be obedient after a few more lessons.¡±


    An Adjutant standing beside Li Zhen heard this and smiled helplessly. He looked at the old General, who appeared to be kind and gentle on the surface. He silently thought Lei Cheng¡¯s stubborn personality had caught the old man¡¯s eye. If there were a new leader, he would have been schemed against by many people!


    Li Zhen seemed to be very satisfied as he nodded. After taking the water from Lei Cheng, he said, ¡°You¡¯re right. These children have been spoiled by their parents. If they can¡¯t overcome a small problem, how can they? This is also why I asked you to be the Chief Instructor. You have a straightforward personality and are very upright and outspoken; I like you very much!¡±


    Lei Cheng felt slightly embarrassed when he heard the old General¡¯s praise. He touched his head and stood at the side like a wood block. He did not realize that the old General was controlling him!


    As Li Zhen spoke, he took a sip of warm water and asked calmly, ¡°When I came in just now, I saw that you didn¡¯t look too good! What¡¯s the matter? Did something difficult happen?¡±

 Chapter 259 - 259 Chapter 259. Grandfathers Inspection

    259 Chapter 259. Grandfather¡¯s Inspection


    When Lei Cheng heard this, he sat beside the old General. After sitting down, he furrowed his sharp eyebrows and said, ¡°There is a difficult matter. My squad leader, Luo Fei, led a team of new students. Two students were injured in the afternoon. They fell into traps and were attacked by wild boars. The situation is not good. He reported to me and wants to find a military doctor to follow their team! I¡¯m thinking about this matter.¡±


    ¡°This kind of thing needs to be carefully considered! After all, these children are still young, and it¡¯s common for them to want to give up. They need to be polished!¡± Li Zhen said with a solemn expression.


    As if he did not notice Lei Cheng¡¯s frozen face, he put down the cup of water in his hand and continued to add seriously, ¡°These children, although they are young, have a lot of ideas. Don¡¯t be easily deceived by them! Pretending to be sick, pretending to be injured, what do they not dare to do?¡±


    Lei Cheng,¡±¡­¡±


    When he heard Li Zhen¡¯s first sentence, he thought the old General would seriously consider the students¡¯ health! Who knew the old General¡¯s meaning was a sharp turn of events? Not only did he not feel sorry for these weak students, but he felt that the instructors were soft-hearted and easily deceived by these freshmen!


    Lei Cheng looked at Li Zhen, who had a severe expression, and nodded silently. He roughly understood what the old Chief meant.


    As Li Zhen spoke, he glanced at the silly boy in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a satisfied smile. He reached out, patted Lei Cheng¡¯s shoulder, and continued, ¡°Alright, I know you still have some concerns in your heart, but we can¡¯t let these children think we have left them some leeway. If we don¡¯t force them, how can we train them? That¡¯s why all the squad leaders must hate each other. If they¡¯re not unable to hold on, if they¡¯re not seriously injured, then they¡¯ll be treated as slacking off or avoiding military training!


    Naturally! Your idea of letting the military doctor follow the team is not bad, but it still needs to be changed. Please change it to allow students with minor injuries to receive medical treatment at each target interception point! This way, it¡¯s the best of both worlds.¡±


    Lei Cheng was listening to the old General¡¯s teachings very seriously. After hearing what the old General said, he also felt that the old General was suitable. He nodded his head and replied, ¡°I understand, Chief. I¡¯ll make the arrangements.¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he lifted the glass of water on the table in satisfaction. He pretended to ask casually, ¡°How¡¯s the real-time monitoring of the military training going? And don¡¯t just leave the instructor and the children in the mountains!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all progressing steadily, don¡¯t worry!¡± As Lei Cheng spoke, he seemed to understand the curiosity in Li Zhen¡¯s eyes, so he asked tentatively, ¡°Why don¡¯t I send it to you for you to see? ¡±


    Li Zhen saw that this silly boy was on the right track and smiled happily, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s great! Good, show me the surveillance footage of squad leader Luo Fei!¡±


    The Adjutant was also very helpless towards his general, who was like an old naughty child. He smiled faintly, but he started to complain in his heart. If he wanted to see his grandson, he could see him. Why was he beating around the bush? If you say something, who would dare to refute it?


    The Adjutant felt that old man Li Zhen thought it was fun to tease Lei Cheng, this silly boy, so he had deliberately investigated his grandson¡¯s matters from Lei Cheng in such a roundabout way.


    Poor Lei Cheng knew nothing about this. He nodded and quickly pulled up the images from the surveillance of their military drone on the computer and handed the tablet to Li Zhen.


    The drone¡¯s video was quite clear. At least Li Zhen could see his silly grandson, Li Qin, at a glance.


    Li Qin was sitting beside Zhuang Xian, holding something in his hand and roasting it over the fire. He was even mumbling something to Zhuang Xian!


    As for his beautiful granddaughter, Zhuang Xian, she had a helpless expression on her face, as if she was a little annoyed by the noise around her. The two looked to be in good condition and did not seem to have any injuries.


    When Li Zhen saw this, he felt a lot more at ease. As long as these two silly children were fine, it was fine! As for Zhuang Xian¡¯s plans, Li Zhen had faith in her. Zhuang Xian would never do anything she wasn¡¯t confident in.

 Chapter 260 - 260 Chapter 260. Refreshing Elixir

    260 Chapter 260. Refreshing Elixir


    The image slowly moved away from the fire with Zhuang Xian and Li Qin at the center. When it showed another pretty and delicate girl not far from Zhuang Xian, the smile on Li Zhen¡¯s face faded a little.


    Naturally, he could tell that this person was Ye Xin, one of Zhuang Xian¡¯s enemies!


    In the past, Li Zhen had heard from Zhuang Xian about the hostility and conflict between her and Ye Xin. Even though the child had never explained to him precisely the enmity, Li Zhen knew that with Zhuang Xian¡¯s gloomy and intelligent personality, she would never do something so useless!


    This Ye Xin must have done many bad things to Zhuang Xian. That¡¯s why Zhuang Xian was so eager to get her revenge!


    Li Zhen let out an unnoticeable sigh. He knew that what he could do was very limited, but he still wanted to protect his little disciple and good granddaughter.


    As for the things that Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want him to know, he would let her be for now. Even though this child was young, her mental maturity and shrewdness were things ordinary people couldn¡¯t compare to even in eight lifetimes.


    Zhuang Xian and Li Qin naturally did not know that Li Zhen had come to Blue Eagle Mountain to see them. Zhuang Xian looked at the unmanned planes flying across the sky and frowned slightly. She thought she should avoid these things when she did something in the future.


    Li Qin looked at the pale and fragile An Ye with a puzzled expression for a long time. He scratched his head and looked at Zhuang Xian, asking softly, ¡°Sister Xian, did you not see that An Ye¡¯s injuries were severe, or is An Ye¡¯s acting already so superb? Why does she look like she¡¯s about to die?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Li Qin¡¯s question, she replied without turning her head, ¡°Her injuries are nothing, and that pained expression was not an act!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words made Li Qin even more confused. However, before Li Qin could ask, Zhuang Xian directly stated the reason behind it. She said calmly, ¡°I gave An Ye my self-made spirit awakening powder. Simply put, it¡¯s a sensory stimulant that can amplify a human¡¯s pain by tens or even a hundred times! This kind of thing doesn¡¯t harm the human body but can make people suffer. Relying on some simple modern medical equipment, you won¡¯t be able to find anything!¡±


    Li Qin was stunned by his sister Xian¡¯s words. His mouth was slightly agape, and after a long time, he asked, ¡°Sister Xian, you made this yourself? My God, how did you do it?¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and asked with uncertainty, ¡°Does this elixir-making skill have something to do with the time you disappeared? Where did you go? Why didn¡¯t you tell Grandpa and me? I was worried about you for a long time!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she turned around and looked at Li Qin. She reached out and touched his head, then explained with a faint smile, ¡°It¡¯s very complicated. I¡¯ll explain it to you and Grandpa when I have the chance. For now, you have to keep it a secret for me! An Ye has been poisoned by the mind-refreshing powder and will have a hard time later. You must remember not to expose yourself.¡±


    Li Qin looked at his sister Xian¡¯s gentle expression and subconsciously nodded, indicating his agreement! Every time Zhuang Xian displayed this kind of big sister-like gentleness and patience to him, Li Qin wished that he could give her all the good things in the world for her to choose from.


    This was because he always felt that behind Zhuang Xian¡¯s gentleness and maturity, there seemed to be a lot of faint sadness hidden all the time. She was like a rag doll whose body and heart had been torn apart alive and then sewn back together piece by piece. She was mentally serious and exhausted.


    Although this feeling came without evidence, it still made Li Qin¡¯s heart ache. Li Qin could feel that Zhuang Xian¡¯s soul had a heaviness and shattering far exceeding her age!


    Zhuang Xian noticed that Li Qin was looking at her in a daze. She turned around to look at him and asked softly, ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? What are you thinking about? You look so dizzy!¡±


    Li Qin returned to his senses, and the cheeky smile returned to his face. He leaned closer to Zhuang Xian and gestured for her to look at the left side of their seat. He would look at Lin Feng and Zhang Yang from time to time. He continued the previous topic without fear of death, ¡°Although Zhang Yang is a little silly, he has a good personality. He is loyal and brave. I think he is not bad! However, Lin Feng is still my first choice. Sister Xian, I support you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes turned slightly cold as she looked at Li Qin, slowly revealing a hint of danger. She said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re not done, are you? Do you still want to get beaten up?¡±

 Chapter 261 - 261 Chapter 261. Future Brother

    261 Chapter 261. Future Brother-in-law?


    When Zhuang Xian raised her hand, Li Qin dodged with a smile. He continued to ramble on about his views. The general meaning of his words was to persuade his sister Xian to be friendlier to boys like Lin Feng, who liked her. She should not keep such a straight face and look like she did not want to get close to strangers!


    Zhuang Xian was helpless. She felt she couldn¡¯t have this stinky brother of hers anymore. He nagged all day long and was so annoying!


    Far away in the Mo family villa, Mo Qian was in his study, dealing with his official duties. He didn¡¯t know why, but he suddenly felt a chill on his back!


    Mo Qian let go of the folder in his hand and frowned slightly as he tried to feel it. That feeling disappeared inexplicably.


    Mo Xi noticed Mo Qian¡¯s strangeness and asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, young master? Are your legs hurting again?¡±


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s silence, Mo Xi thought for a moment and continued, ¡°By the way, Miss Zhuang is going to give you acupuncture tomorrow. How will we go to the Blue Eagle Base to find her?¡±


    Mo Qian shook his head indifferently, threw away the things in his hand, and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just have a bad feeling in my heart. I keep feeling like someone is coveting my things.¡±


    Mo Xi was slightly confused and asked in confusion, ¡°What?¡±


    Mo Qian stretched out his fingers and pinched the corners of his tired eyes. He shook his head gently, trying to drive these strange feelings out of his mind, ¡°Nothing! What time is it now?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s already past midnight, young master. Are you going to rest? The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress has instructed that you can¡¯t stay up late while treating your leg. You have to pay more attention to rest. You¡¯ve already exceeded the limit today!¡±


    Mo Xi stood in front of the table and nagged for a long time, but Mo Qian only picked the things he was willing to listen to. He closed his eyes and thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile. It was already past midnight today, and he would have a reason to see Zhuang Xian again tomorrow.


    If Li Qin knew that there was such a lowly CEO among his sister Xian¡¯s many pursuers, he would be even happier!


    Moreover, Mo Qian should align with Li Qin¡¯s expectations of his future brother-in-law. People like Lin Feng and Zhang Yang would have to stand aside for now.


    However, Li Qin had no idea that Mo Qian liked Zhuang Xian! He was still busy trying to matchmake sister Xian with other boys!


    Li Qin¡¯s current actions indirectly gave his future brother-in-law, Mo Qian, a few more powerful love rivals.


    Of course, the ¡®more powerful¡¯ referred to Lin Feng¡¯s youth and energy. A young man in his 20s with such youthful and bright energy was not entirely without competition. After all, other than this, they did not have any additional strength that could be compared to Mo Qian, who was as rich as a country!


    Li Qin did not know about this, and Mo Qian was even more clueless!


    If he had known that the strange feeling he had just now was not made up out of thin air but was instead a gift from his future good brother, Li Qin, young master Mo might have looked at Li Qin with a smile, but his eyes would be filled with danger. Then, he would have calmly said to Li Qin, ¡®Thank you, but there¡¯s no need for that!¡¯ Mo Qian¡¯s usually gentle and handsome face would probably be filled with sarcasm and insincerity.


    At five o ¡®clock in the morning, the freshmen of Saint Capital University, who had only rested for less than five hours, were woken up from their sweet dreams by the ruthless squad monitor, Luo Fei.


    After an entire day of high-intensity exercise yesterday, this group of young masters and mistresses who had been pampered at home could get a good sleep in this harsh and simple environment! Of course, this excluded An Ye, who had been tormented by her injuries and could not sleep the entire night.


    When An Ye opened her eyes from the simple sleeping bag, she almost fainted again. Her entire body felt as if it had been run over by a car. There was not a single part of her body that did not hurt. An Ye suspected that in the half an hour she had been asleep last night, someone had come over and beat her up again!


    However, she knew this was not the case because there was no one else in their team¡¯s tent except for Zhuang Jie and another female team member.


    Zhuang Jie also sat up with a pained expression. She subconsciously covered her ears to isolate the squad monitor¡¯s demonic voice. When she turned to look at An Ye, she realized that An Ye¡¯s expression was miserable and strange!

 Chapter 262 - 262 Chapter 262. Self

    262 Chapter 262. Self-centered


    ¡°Ye, what¡¯s wrong? Did the wound hurt again? Why do I feel that you haven¡¯t recovered, but your condition has worsened?¡± What¡¯s wrong? ¡± Zhuang Jie asked as she hurriedly lifted An Ye¡¯s clothes. After looking at the wound, Zhuang Jie turned her head and looked at An Ye with even more confusion!


    ¡°Your wound seems to be getting better,¡± she said. ¡°The anti-inflammatory medicine and painkiller the Squad monitor gave you yesterday were effective!¡±


    When they were talking, the girl in the tent had packed her backpack and left it.


    Zhuang Jie looked at her indifferently and did not say anything.


    An Ye didn¡¯t have time to care about anything else. After shaking her head slightly with a pained expression, she weakly replied to Zhuang Jie¡¯s words, ¡°It¡¯s even more serious. Those drugs were useless! I felt my waist split open, and all the bones in my body shattered! I¡¯m in pain!¡±


    After Zhuang Jie heard An Ye¡¯s words, she subconsciously looked down at An Ye¡¯s waist, which was no longer swollen. The wound seemed to have healed a lot. She then looked at An Ye¡¯s exposed skin and saw that it was perfectly fine!


    After a long while, Zhuang Jie¡¯s expression slowly became gloomy and dissatisfied. She looked up at An Ye and let go of the clothes that she had been holding. She frowned and said in confusion, ¡°Your wound looks like it¡¯s already healed. There¡¯s only the two of us here, but you¡¯re still putting on such an exaggerated act. Hurry up; the squad monitor will teach you a lesson later!¡±


    As Zhuang Jie spoke, she got up impatiently. She looked at the sprain on her foot and felt it was much more severe than the wound on An Ye¡¯s waist!


    After staying in the tent yesterday, she slowly regained her senses. After her frightening emotions stabilized, Zhuang Jie recalled that when the wild boar had hit An Ye¡¯s back with its fangs, it had been through An Ye¡¯s military backpack. The bag¡¯s quality was quite good and helped An Ye block most of the force!


    The wound caused by the wild boar¡¯s tusk was only a tiny cut, and the bleeding stopped without much trouble. It was no wonder that Zhuang Xian and the class monitor didn¡¯t think it was a severe injury.


    Zhuang Jie felt that she had seen things very clearly now. An Ye wanted to use this injury to avoid military and regular training to get more sympathy and care from her team members!


    That¡¯s why An Ye put so much effort into acting!


    An Ye noticed the change in Zhuang Jie¡¯s mood and looked at her with a pale face. She retorted, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m acting? I¡¯m really in pain!¡±


    After seeing the slight disdain on Zhuang Jie¡¯s face, An Ye¡¯s face turned cold, and she continued, ¡°You think I¡¯m pretending? You trust Zhuang Xian and that squad monitor in cahoots with her, but you¡¯re not willing to trust me, right?¡±


    Zhuang Jie was packing her luggage when she heard An Ye¡¯s words. She turned her head and glanced at An Ye indifferently. ¡°Then your injuries are not that serious? I can understand that you want to use this as an excuse to avoid military training, but you don¡¯t have to put on such an act in front of me!¡±


    As she spoke, she glanced at An Ye¡¯s completely unpacked luggage. She smirked and said, ¡°If you want me to help you with something, say it! I know that your waist is inconvenient; I¡¯ll help you!¡±


    An Ye speechlessly looked at Zhuang Jie talking to herself in front of her and almost died of anger. Was there something wrong with this person¡¯s brain? If she wasn¡¯t injured, would she have done this in front of her for no reason? Did Zhuang Jie¡¯s brain become stupid from the fall yesterday?


    Miss An didn¡¯t seem to have any self-awareness of the character she usually ran! She still didn¡¯t know that the image she had painstakingly built in the past had slowly crumbled since yesterday.


    The pain in her body made An Ye unable to focus and think of a way to comfort Zhuang Jie and make her believe in her. When she heard that the others outside the tent had started to pack up and gather, Zhuang Jie became anxious. After throwing An Ye¡¯s military bag to her, she pulled An Ye, anxiously saying, ¡°Quickly get up and put on your shoes; I¡¯ll go out first!¡±


    An Ye was helpless. Looking at Zhuang Jie¡¯s anxious expression, she didn¡¯t have time to say anything before Zhuang Jie left! She looked at the shoes in her hands, endured the pain all over her body, and put on the military boots for herself.

 Chapter 263 - 263 Chapter 263. A Sign of Internal Strife

    263 Chapter 263. A Sign of Internal Strife


    Everyone had packed their luggage when An Ye slowly crawled out of the tent. Under the dim light of the day, they looked at An Ye irritatedly and asked sternly, ¡°What are you dawdling about? Must everyone in the group be waiting for you here? Look at the tents of the other groups, they¡¯ve already packed them up, but the one you three girls are sleeping in is not!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Don¡¯t you know what the situation is now? Didn¡¯t you hear what the squad monitor said? We¡¯ll leave at 5:30 sharp and won¡¯t wait for anyone! Are you guys trying to get us killed?¡±


    The other girl standing next to them saw that the two boys in their group were furious. After glancing at An Ye, she hurriedly explained, ¡°I was the first to come out long ago. It was An Ye who took her time. I¡¯m afraid she delayed for 10 minutes! It has nothing to do with me!¡±


    As she said this, she turned to look at Zhuang Jie, trying to find her approval.


    When An Ye heard this female member say that about her, she almost died of anger. She wanted to explain but was interrupted by Zhuang Jie, standing beside her!


    She heard Zhuang Jie say, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough! Hurry up and pack up; no one will wait for us if we set off late!¡±


    An Ye could feel the contempt and disdain from all her team members, including her ¡®good friend¡¯ Zhuang Jie!


    Zhuang Jie looked deeply at An Ye and started to sort out the mess in front of her.


    An Ye looked at Zhuang Jie in disbelief. She didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Jie to interrupt her so directly, nor did she expect Zhuang Jie to be on the side of the other female team member.


    An Ye, who didn¡¯t understand the situation, watched in a daze as the people around her started to move. One of the team members even bumped her with his shoulder when he passed by her. She didn¡¯t know if it was intentional or not!


    Ye Xin, who had discussed allying with Zhuang Jie yesterday, packed her things and came over to look for her two temporary allies.


    As Zhuang Xian directed the students around her to gather, she naturally didn¡¯t miss Ye Xin¡¯s little trick. She looked at the three enemies who shared the same bad blood as her, and a dark look flashed across her eyes.


    Ye Xin no longer avoided getting close to Zhuang Jie and An Ye. The peace they had been pretending to have had disappeared without them realizing it. To be more precise, it had never existed.


    From the beginning of the military training, Ye Xin had approached Zhuang Xian with a motive. Zhuang Xian had also watched on nonchalantly as Ye Xin used her underhanded tactics on her. She wasn¡¯t in a hurry at all. She was always waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.


    As she thought about all the things she had experienced in her previous life, Zhuang Xian naturally wouldn¡¯t let Ye Xin have an easy time!


    Luo Fei glanced at Zhuang Xian and said in a deep voice, ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take care of this. You can go to the side and wait for the departure.¡±


    As Luo Fei spoke, he looked up at everyone below and said sternly, ¡°Increase your speed! You still have 5 minutes to rest and adjust your condition. Yesterday, our squad was caught up in one accident after another, so our progress has fallen behind the other teams!


    The morning is the essential part of the day. The hour you get up early is your chance to catch up with others! After the difficult first day, I believe you have gradually adapted to the rhythm of military training! Many of you are outstanding. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and achieve good results in the upcoming military training!


    There¡¯s also something that the injured students are very concerned about. I¡¯ve already reported to Chief Instructor Lei about the issue of assigning military doctors to the team! Instructor Lei is very sympathetic to all of us. He has posted doctors and medical support to our students at every target point! Students who have suffered minor injuries, please hold on. When we reach the target location in the afternoon, corresponding doctors will be coming to help you! Alright, everyone, gather!¡±


    Li Qin saw his sister Xian come down from a high place and handed her a water bottle. He asked worriedly, ¡°Sister Xian, why didn¡¯t you call me when you took turns with the squad monitor last night? With me here, you can rest for a while! Are you alright?¡±

 Chapter 264 - 264 Chapter 264. Hedgehog

    264 Chapter 264. Hedgehog


    Zhuang Xian took the glass of water from Li Qin and replied calmly, ¡°What could happen to me? Two hours of sleep is enough for me. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s lips twitched. After thinking for a while, he started to tell Zhuang Xian what he had just seen. I saw An Ye arguing with her team just now! No, it was An Ye who they scolded! You don¡¯t know how fun that scene was!


    What¡¯s even funnier is that Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t help An Ye this time. The two of them seem to have some conflict! You didn¡¯t see An Ye¡¯s speechless face; what a pity!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, ¡°With Zhuang Jie¡¯s self-righteous personality, it¡¯s only a matter of time before she falls out with An Ye. It¡¯s not surprising.


    The two of them are selfish, petty, and calculative people. They¡¯re fine when they¡¯re outside, but once they encounter a situation that involves their interests or harms their position, they will only choose to protect themselves first! They can come together for some common interests, but they will naturally go their separate ways for the sake of interests and even become enemies!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she took a sip of water and turned to look at Li Qin. She smiled and said, ¡°If we want to defeat the enemy directly, that¡¯s very easy! However, what I want is not just simple revenge! I want them to fall apart under my control, step by step, suspicious of each other, attacking each other, and finally, both sides will suffer! Isn¡¯t it more comfortable to watch a dog biting another dog?¡±


    Li Qin looked at the stubborn Zhuang Xian in front of him, but he didn¡¯t think much of it. In his heart, whatever Zhuang Xian did was right. He chuckled, leaned closer to Zhuang Xian, and joked, ¡°Sister Xian, do you know that the way you spoke just now was like a supervillain in a movie? You¡¯re so lovely! Cool!¡±


    Zhuang Xian, ¡± ¡­.¡±


    Zhuang Xian, who had innocently become the movie¡¯s villain, felt she should not have wasted so much time talking to Li Qin, this weird-thinking person. This silly brother of hers only deserved to be carefree forever.


    ¡°Hello?¡±


    Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, who heard someone talking behind them, turned around instinctively.


    Lin Feng, who looked hesitant and slightly embarrassed, stood behind them. He looked at Zhuang Xian with a few buns in his hand. After scratching his head, he seemed to have made up his mind. He handed the buns to Zhuang Xian and said with a smile, ¡°Zhang Yang and I have prepared this for you. You stayed up all night with the squad monitor; you must be tired! We¡¯re about to set off, have something to eat! We don¡¯t know what kind of trouble we¡¯ll encounter later, so we¡¯ll need you to teach us more!¡±


    As Lin Feng spoke, the smile on his face slowly widened, and his eyes seemed to have stars in them. ¡°After all, we¡¯re friends. ¡±


    Looking at Lin Feng, Zhuang Xian did not know how to reject him. After all, the young man¡¯s eyes were so sincere and straightforward. It would seem a little unreasonable if she rejected him with such cold words.


    For some reason, Zhuang Xian suddenly recalled a description that Mo Qian had given her. He had said that she was a hedgehog!


    Not only had she been avoiding Mo Qian¡¯s feelings for her, but she had also been avoiding herself! Other than the family members of the Zhuang family, who she was determined to give up everything to repay, Zhuang Xian had been very self-restricted. She had unconsciously avoided those who were full of kindness. They were friendly and close to her, and she had always responded to all their relationships with an indifferent and rational attitude.


    Mo Qian¡¯s description was very accurate. She, Zhuang Xian, was like a hedgehog in her life. No matter what kind of person or emotion she met, her first reaction would be to retreat into the psychological defense line that she thought was comfortable and safe. She would treat all goodwill and concern with indifference and resistance.


    Perhaps it had been long since Zhuang Xian had seen such a transparent and honest gaze and emotions, but she was a little stunned by what she saw.


    Li Qin, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yang, standing two steps away from her, took her dazed and contemplative look as an unmoved and silent rejection.


    Li Qin laughed and tried to ease the atmosphere, ¡°Ah, sister Xian already ate! You guys can keep it to eat later!


    Before Li Qin could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhuang Xian¡¯s sudden movement.


    Zhuang Xian took the things from Lin Feng¡¯s hands and smiled at them. She said gently, ¡°Thank you; I¡¯m a little hungry.¡±

 Chapter 265 - 265 Chapter 265. Help Them

    265 Chapter 265. Help Them


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she casually tore open a packaging bag. She took the bread in her mouth and turned to leave, leaving only the silly boys and her sophisticated and beautiful back view.


    A few of them were stunned and looked at each other. Suddenly, they looked at each other and laughed. However, compared to the relaxed smile on Lin Feng and Zhang Yang¡¯s faces, Li Qin¡¯s smile was a little more awkward and stiff!


    Li Qin had been ruthlessly ridiculed by his sister Xian again: ¡°Ahahahaha!¡±


    After Luo Fei¡¯s ¡®torture¡¯ yesterday, the students were already able to organize their things and feel hopeless! Everyone was ready and waiting for Luo Fei¡¯s order.


    An Ye stood at the back of her group and looked at Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin, who were two steps away from her. It was as if the two of them had suddenly agreed. They were able to talk for so long!


    An Ye couldn¡¯t bear being ignored by everyone in this small group. She swallowed her saliva and endured the pain in her waist, saying hoarsely, ¡°Do any of you have any extra water? Can you let me have a sip? I¡¯ve already used up all my water!¡±


    When Zhuang Jie heard this, she turned around and glanced at An Ye. A hint of conflict seemed to flash through her tightly furrowed brows.


    ¡°Oh! Now you know to ask us for water? When you were using the water to wipe your face yesterday, why didn¡¯t you think you would run out of water today? We¡¯re not your ¡®free ATM¡¯. You¡¯ll have to bear the consequences of your actions!¡± The female team member stood beside the two boys and coldly looked at An Ye before retorting.


    The two male members beside her didn¡¯t want to bother with An Ye, the huge burden in their group! They didn¡¯t care about An Ye¡¯s suicidal behavior, but they wouldn¡¯t help either.


    On the second day of military training, some people learned to share, while others learned not to reject the love and care of others!


    Of course, on the contrary, some people have learned to be selfish and indifferent without a teacher. To protect their interests, they would attack and provoke others.


    Most of the time, human nature was complicated to distinguish. Comparing the group that Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Jie¡¯s group led, they were the two extremes of a model!


    People could be selfish, snobbish, cold, and heartless, but they could also be kind, caring, tolerant, and sincere.


    Therefore, Luo Fei couldn¡¯t understand Ye Xin¡¯s behavior of taking the initiative to approach a team that wasn¡¯t united and had a weak overall strength.


    Luo Fei looked at Ye Xin, who was not in Zhuang Jie¡¯s group. He frowned and said, ¡°Why did you leave the group without permission? Hurry up and go back to your group!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at An Ye, who was walking at the back of the group, and shouted, ¡°Hurry up and follow! What are you dilly-dallying for?¡±


    Ye Xin waited for Luo Fei to finish yelling before she smiled and said, ¡°Squad leader, I saw that Zhuang Jie¡¯s group had too many injured people, so I took the initiative to slow down and help them. Zhuang Jie¡¯s foot was seriously injured, and An Ye was also injured. Their group was a little too miserable. Before we reach the next target, please let me help them! Is that good?¡±


    Luo Fei¡¯s face darkened as he looked at the gentle and timid girl in front of him. She was always considerate of others. A sense of suspicion rose in his heart as he took a few deep looks at Ye Xin. He thought that these girls weren¡¯t simple characters. To put it bluntly, they weren¡¯t good people.


    He nodded his head. ¡°Then you should help the injured students! However, when we do the headcount, you must return to your team!¡±


    Ye Xin¡¯s smile widened when she heard this, as if she was pleased that she could help someone else. ¡°I know! Thank you, squad monitor!¡±


    Luo Fei ignored Ye Xin¡¯s words. After glancing at An Ye, he walked to the front.


    After Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin exchanged a look, a smile appeared on their faces. Their first step to forming a team had been successfully completed. Now, they could gather together and discuss how to deal with Zhuang Xian!


    An Ye looked at the two of them and took a deep breath. She called out, ¡°Jie! Ye Xin! Can you guys wait for me? I can¡¯t walk fast!¡±


    An Ye, who was speaking softly, hated them in her heart. She clutched the tree branch she borrowed to support her body tightly as if she could use this to transfer some of the hatred and sadness in her heart.

 Chapter 266 - 266 Chapter 266. Dogs Biting Dogs

    266 Chapter 266. Dogs Biting Dogs


    When Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin heard this, they stopped. When they turned around, they didn¡¯t take the initiative to help An Ye up. Instead, they stood in place and waited for An Ye to walk over to them with difficulty.


    Zhuang Jie looked at An Ye¡¯s slightly pale lips, and her face darkened. She handed her a bottle with one-third of the water left. ¡°You didn¡¯t listen to me last night. Now, I don¡¯t have much water, to begin with, so I have to give you half of this. There are still seven to eight hours left until noon! We can¡¯t do without water. We have to think of a way to get some.¡±


    An Ye quickly took the bottle of water as Zhuang Jie was talking. After unscrewing the cap, she drank it all in one go!


    Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t say anything, but her eyes¡¯ gloom deepened. If An Ye continued to pretend like this, the pressure on her would only increase. Her resources and physical strength were already minimal. She couldn¡¯t let An Ye exhaust her for no reason.


    Zhuang Jie glanced at Ye Xin. After the two of them exchanged a look, they simultaneously reached out and wrapped their arms around An Ye¡¯s arm. As they helped her walk forward, Zhuang Jie suggested in a low voice, ¡°When the squad monitor is here, you can put on an act. But when no one is around Ye, can you stop acting? My leg looks much more serious than your injury! You can¡¯t keep pretending to be injured just because you want to avoid some dirty and tiring work. Then I¡¯m going to be angry!¡±


    An Ye glanced at Zhuang Jie and suppressed the urge to curse. She grabbed Zhuang Jie¡¯s military training sleeve with her fingers, smiled, and tried to explain, ¡°Why do you still think I¡¯m lying to you? I¡¯m really in pain all over. I suspect my internal organs are injured, and it¡¯s even more painful than when I was hit yesterday!¡±


    As she spoke, she saw that Zhuang Jie was still suspicious of her, so she interrupted, ¡°What good does it do me to keep pretending to be sick? We¡¯ve been friends for so many years, don¡¯t you understand me? How could I tell such a stupid lie just because I don¡¯t want to do some small things? Wouldn¡¯t that be easily exposed?¡±


    Zhuang Jie listened to An Ye¡¯s explanation and frowned without speaking.


    Ye Xin had been listening to An Ye the entire time. After some thought, she laughed lightly. ¡°You¡¯re injured, after all. You can say whatever you want! Internal injuries? Hmph!¡±


    As she spoke, she suddenly felt that An Ye¡¯s lie was lame.


    Ye Xin lowered her voice, avoiding the flashlights from the students in front of her and the curious ears of the students. ¡°Usually, if there is internal damage, the human body will be infected, have a fever, or even faint! How can you still be so clear-headed and lively if that¡¯s the case? Student An Ye, you should read more books next time you want to lie! After all, not everyone is as shallow as you!¡±


    Hearing Ye Xin¡¯s sarcastic remarks, An Ye couldn¡¯t take it anymore, no matter how good her tolerance and self-cultivation were.


    No matter what, she was still the daughter of a wealthy family. Although she couldn¡¯t compare to the Ye family and the Zhuang family, no one had ever embarrassed her like this in front of her face!


    Even rabbits would bite when they were anxious!


    An Ye¡¯s face was as red as a pig¡¯s liver. She used all her strength in an attempt to shake off Ye Xin. She didn¡¯t need such a weird ¡®Ally¡¯ to teach her how to be a human.


    However, Ye Xin was already prepared for this. An Ye¡¯s struggles were useless as she roared, ¡°You let me go! I don¡¯t need your help!¡±


    Ye Xin laughed impatiently and pulled An Ye back with all her might. She said coldly, ¡± ¡°If you want to walk out of this forest safely, you must learn to cooperate with Zhuang Jie and me. Otherwise, we don¡¯t think you should blame us for not being polite to you! Since you want to play a burden now, I can fulfill your wish!¡±


    After struggling for a while, An Ye felt like she had lost all her strength. Large beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her breathing became rapid. She had no time to respond to Ye Xin¡¯s provocation and threats and only cared about getting enough oxygen.


    For a moment, An Ye felt like she would die for no reason! She was so scared that her legs trembled, and lost all strength. Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin almost couldn¡¯t hold her up.

 Chapter 267 - 267 Chapter 267. Mutual Attraction

    267 Chapter 267. Mutual Attraction


    After all, they had been friends for many years. Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t bear to see An Ye like this. She supported An Ye¡¯s body and said in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree to communicate with Ye? How could you do this to her? We¡¯re allies!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at An Ye, whose limbs were weak, and said helplessly, ¡°Why are you getting more and more excited the more you talk? We don¡¯t have any other good ideas now. Only by working together can we walk out of here safely! So, let¡¯s all be considerate of each other! Is that good?¡±


    Although Zhuang Jie was the most slow-witted of the three, it was precisely because of this that she was more determined!


    Ye Xin¡¯s thoughts were complicated, and so was An Ye!


    Their temperaments were very similar, but they seemed unconvinced of each other. That was why they repelled and attacked each other to suppress the other.


    Apparently, Ye Xin had already declared her victory due to her lack of physical strength.


    On the other hand, An Ye was frightened by the threat of death just now. At this moment, she didn¡¯t dare to resist Ye Xin and Zhuang Wan. She was afraid that these two women would abandon her here! An Ye was fearful of death!


    Just as Zhuang Xian had said to Li Qin, when these selfish and sinister people got together, it would be a fascinating dog-eat-dog competition.


    Whoever had more ideas would win. They were using each other anyway. As long as they could achieve their goals, nothing else was important!


    An Ye tried her best to support her body. After slowly recovering, she took a few deep breaths.


    As the light in the forest gradually brightened, her eyes became darker and more terrifying. Two seconds later, she disappeared again.


    Zhuang Xian helped Luo Fei organize the team and move forward. From time to time, they would fall behind to see the reaction of the three women together.


    Seeing that An Ye¡¯s steps were becoming more relaxed and weak, Zhuang Xian knew that the mind-refreshing powder was starting to wear off!


    However, Zhuang Xian did not feel that it was a pity because the show would start only then.


    When the sun slowly rose in the forest, An Ye¡¯s condition would gradually return to normal, and the weak and powerless image she played in the beginning disappeared.


    Everyone would think she was lying and pretending to be injured and weak to avoid military training and get more care and help from others.


    Everyone would only feel that they had been deceived. By then, no one would believe An Ye anymore. An Ye would have no way of explaining this.


    This was a dead end!


    Zhuang Xian wanted naturally, not just a few passer-by classmates ¡®Trust¡¯ in An Ye to collapse. This didn¡¯t have much meaning!


    Her real motive was to make An Ye lose Zhuang Jie¡¯s trust so that the two of them would have an internal conflict and even fight against each other. It would be best if Ye Xin were added to the mix!


    In her previous life, Zhuang Jie and An Ye had conspired together and caused the Zhuang family to be miserable. They ended up either dead or injured. Zhuang Xian remembered all of this hatred clearly!


    Since Zhuang Jie and An Ye liked to work together so much in her previous life, Zhuang Xian could only let them kill each other in this life and end up suffering both sides! This was indeed ¡®complementing¡¯ this previous life!


    Not only did she want An Ye to feel Zhuang Jie¡¯s coldness and criticism towards her, but she also wanted her to feel abandoned and hated by everyone. This feeling of near-death frustration was the same as An Ye had made his big brother Zhuang Bai feel in his previous life!


    Zhuang Xian felt that this was an eye for an eye!


    This was the best way. Zhuang Xian wanted to use this military training as an opportunity to wreck An Ye and Zhuang Jie. She tried to make them fear and go crazy so that she could complete the first step of her great revenge.


    Zhuang Jie stepped on the ground covered in leaves and soft mud. She twisted her injured leg yesterday and could no longer touch the ground. She endured the pain in her body and checked on An Ye¡¯s condition repeatedly!


    She had just discovered An Ye¡¯s secret.


    An Ye¡¯s condition was getting better and better during their difficult cross-country hiking trip. At first, she needed two people to support her, but her steps became stronger and lighter as time passed. However, she and Ye Xin were both sweating profusely!

 Chapter 268 - 268 Chapter 268. Self

    268 Chapter 268. Self-doubt


    Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t understand. She frowned and looked at An Ye coldly. She gritted her teeth and asked, ¡°An ye! You were pretending to be weak all morning. You¡¯re good! To think I¡¯d believed you to some extent, yet you trampled on my trust again and again like this?¡±


    The burning pain from her ankle made Zhuang Jie¡¯s brain lose its rationality. She felt deceived and played with, so she shook off An Ye¡¯s hand.


    ¡°My¡­! An Ye tried to explain her strange behavior, but when she saw Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin¡¯s resentful and mocking gazes, she suddenly felt like she couldn¡¯t excuse herself.


    Her words were stuck in her throat.


    That¡¯s right! How could she expect Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin to believe in her when she couldn¡¯t even explain it with common sense or science? Just now, when she was about to die, Zhuang Jie did not trust her and thought she was lying to them!


    An Ye felt that the pain in her body had disappeared entirely. She felt goosebumps all over her body. This kind of thing was too unbelievable! An Ye was terrified.


    She felt the strength in her steps and thought she was a freak.


    Ye Xin had already noticed something when An Ye forcefully shook her hand off. She walked in front and listened to Zhuang Jie¡¯s questioning of An Ye. She found it very funny.


    She leaned against a big tree and looked back at Zhuang Jie with a smile, ¡°Looks like you¡¯re still too na?ve. Do you think you can beat An Ye? In military tactics, her move was called ¡°All is fair in war¡±! She¡¯s always like this, making you feel like you¡¯re being played by her when you can¡¯t figure it out.¡±


    Ye Xin looked at An Ye with dark eyes and sneered, ¡°I¡¯m impressed! Miss An¡¯s tactic was excellent! Your acting skills are also top-notch; you almost fooled me! But then again, what can you get from putting in so much effort to put on this show? Would fooling and tormenting others make you feel happier? Or could it be that you can¡¯t wait for others to see your superb acting skills? I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re doing this!¡±


    An Ye had already witnessed Ye Xin¡¯s ability to make sarcastic remarks. She didn¡¯t want to get entangled with this scheming person. She was now thinking about how to regain Zhuang Jie¡¯s trust quickly. Otherwise, all the preparations she had made would be for naught. That would be a huge loss!


    No matter how bad and irritable Zhuang Jie¡¯s attitude towards her was before, she had invested too much energy into Zhuang Jie. All her plans had not succeeded yet, and An Ye could not lose this ¡®friend¡¯ of hers.


    She smiled and reached out to help Zhuang Jie up. She said gently, ¡°Jie, don¡¯t be angry. Let me help you! Why don¡¯t you give me your backpack? I can help you carry it!¡±


    Looking at An Ye¡¯s face now, Zhuang Jie only felt disgusted and loathing.


    Although she used to know that An Ye was very smart and a wonderful person who knew how to do things, she didn¡¯t expect that one day, An Ye¡¯s little tricks would be used to scheme against her!


    She thought she had always treated An Ye well and treated An Ye as her best friend. However, it wasn¡¯t until today that she realized that their friendship seemed to be a one-sided effort from her. An Ye¡¯s thoughts and calculations were all for her benefit!


    She might be nothing to An Ye.


    The ¡®friendship¡¯ between them had been shattered by such a ridiculous matter, just like Zhuang Jie¡¯s trust in An Ye.


    Zhuang Jie pushed An Ye¡¯s hand away and sneered. ¡°No need! I¡¯ve finally seen through you in the past two days! You¡¯re a selfish, despicable, and shameless b*tch! You even dared to plot against me. Do you think I¡¯m stupid and easy to fool? If you slap me and give me candy, will I still go back and let you lie to me and use me? Do you think I¡¯m too stupid?¡±


    As Zhuang Jie spoke, she seemed to have been angered by An Ye. Her face was flushed as she moved closer to An Ye¡¯s face and chuckled, ¡°There won¡¯t be such a possibility anymore!¡±

 Chapter 269 - 269 Chapter 269. Besieging in a Group

    269 Chapter 269. Besieging in a Group


    Now that Zhuang Jie thought about it carefully, she only felt that An Ye had treated her as a complete fool!


    The tricks An Ye used on her seemed childish and full of loopholes, but what made Zhuang Jie speechless was that she had fallen into all of them! This feeling of being fooled and toyed with made Zhuang Jie angry and embarrassed. She looked at An Ye with eyes full of hatred and anger.


    At this time, squad leader Luo Fei, walking not far ahead of them, took a look at the time and told everyone to rest for five minutes before continuing their journey.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that no one is left behind this time. Everyone is improving, and that¡¯s the best thing. In another half an hour, we¡¯ll reach the target location! With supplies, it¡¯ll be easier for us to continue moving forward. I¡¯m guessing our squad¡¯s grades can¡¯t possibly be the last!¡± As Luo Fei spoke, he put the gun away and sat on the ground relaxedly.


    When the students around him heard this, they finally felt more at ease and heaved a sigh of relief. They also began to joke with the squad monitor, ¡°That¡¯s impossible! Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t we have wasted our time waking up this morning? It¡¯s impossible!¡±


    ¡°I think so too! Other teams only had one squad monitor to follow the students, but our squad was different. Sister Xian is more than half the squad monitor! Don¡¯t you think we¡¯re progressing faster than the others? Just now, we could still see the other teams on the mountainside. Now, we¡¯ve left them far behind!¡±


    Luo Fei quietly listened to his team¡¯s conversation. When he turned around to look for the main character of the conversation, he realized that Zhuang Xian and her team members were at the back of the line.


    Thinking about An Ye and Zhuang Jie, who made him worry, Luo Fei sighed, got up, and walked back.


    However, before he could get close, he heard An Ye arguing with someone else. Luo Fei thought that it was as he expected and quickened his pace.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that An Ye pretended to be injured the entire day? Do you all believe me now? Look at her flushed face; she¡¯s just a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. Not only did she cheat Zhuang Jie of her water, but she also relied on her to help her along the way! I¡¯ve never seen such a shameless and despicable person!¡±


    As the male member spoke, he turned back to look at the red-faced An Ye and spat to show his disgust. He didn¡¯t forget to continue, ¡°Why don¡¯t you share your journey with us, An Ye? Do you think that none of us will realize that you¡¯re acting? Are you that confident?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one who hasn¡¯t seen it before! We¡¯ve never seen such an outrageous and stupid thing! Of course, I¡¯m talking about An Ye!¡±


    An Ye stood in the middle of the crowd, feeling helpless and frustrated. She glanced at the male team member who was verbally attacking her, then turned to look at Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie, sitting on the ground with indifferent expressions. After exhaling a deep breath of helplessness, she said softly, ¡°How many times do I have to say that I¡¯m not acting at all? I¡¯m injured and can¡¯t move!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Then why are you still so lively now? Do you have some mysterious self-healing ability that you can recover by yourself after sleeping? Do you still plan to deceive everyone if we don¡¯t find out? You¡¯re shameless, An Ye!¡± The female team member seemed to have caught An Ye¡¯s weakness as she kept scolding and criticizing An Ye.


    As soon as she finished speaking, the two boys beside her echoed in unison. They were in the same group as An Ye and Zhuang Jie!


    ¡°I¡¯m shameless?¡± An Ye finally couldn¡¯t stand this female member¡¯s accusations and insinuations. She sneered and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask yourself if you have the right to criticize and judge me? Have you ever helped me? What have I cheated on you? Didn¡¯t you guys already calculate it from the start? Have I ever taken advantage of any of you? Why? Seeing that there¡¯s a misunderstanding between my friends and me and that we¡¯ve had a few arguments, you¡¯re in a hurry to gang up and attack me? Why don¡¯t you see if you¡¯re worthy!¡±

 Chapter 270 - 270 Chapter 270. Internal Strife, Breaking Off Friendships

    270 Chapter 270. Internal Strife, Breaking Off Friendships


    ¡°What does my character have to do with you? You guys are the real laughable ones!¡± An Ye said, suppressing the burning anger in her heart.


    With An Ye¡¯s eloquence, she could beat the group¡¯s two boys and one girl. It was easy to deal with the three of them. The worst result would be to become enemies with them. An Ye had already reached this stage, so why would she care about a few people?


    What she needed to do now was to salvage Zhuang Jie¡¯s trust in her, which was on the verge of breaking.


    So after she finished speaking, she ignored the people¡¯s red faces and curses and walked to Zhuang Jie¡¯s back and sat down.


    ¡°How come I¡¯ve never realized before that your skin can be so thick!¡± As Zhuang Jie spoke, she looked at An Ye with disdain and said sarcastically, ¡°Don¡¯t say we¡¯re friends again! To be friends with you, An Ye, I¡¯ll have to cultivate a strong and foolish heart. It¡¯s best if it¡¯s the kind with money and power but no brains! Don¡¯t follow me now; I get angry just by looking at you!¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s face was pale, and her forehead was wet with sweat. Under the baptism of the scorching sun, everyone was tired and disheveled. However, An Ye was the only one who didn¡¯t show any fatigue on her face and didn¡¯t even sweat much. With such a sharp contrast, how could An Ye not make people angry and indignant?


    The more dignified and relaxed An Ye was, the angrier Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin became. An Ye had played them!


    An Ye knew that Zhuang Jie was currently in a fit of anger and had suffered a lot of grievances and abuse, but she did not talk back and chose to endure it.


    ¡°Can¡¯t the students in your group know their place? Out of the ten groups in our squad, your group has the most problems! What are you quarreling about this time?¡± Luo Fei walked down with a frown. When he could hear what they were talking about, he only heard Zhuang Jie¡¯s sarcastic remark about An Ye.


    Seeing that no one was speaking again, Luo Fei turned to Zhuang Jie and said coldly, ¡°Since you and An Ye are good friends, you should help each other in this difficult situation. Why are you talking about your friend? Besides, An Ye is injured. It¡¯s only right for you to care for her!¡±


    An Ye looked at squad monitor Luo Fei irritatedly. She wanted to interrupt him several times and stop him from saying more! With Zhuang Jie¡¯s current situation, it would be fine if she was quiet, but once someone started the fire, it would be out of control!


    As expected, Zhuang Jie, who had exploded in the last second, shouted at Luo Fei, ¡°Who¡¯s friends with her? I¡¯ve already cut off all ties with her just now. From now on, we don¡¯t owe each other anything! Is she injured? Heh, squad, you still don¡¯t know? She¡¯s just pretending. You¡¯d better kick her out of the military training. A despicable and selfish person like her only deserves such an ending!¡±


    Zhuang Jie finally felt a little better after growling.


    Luo Fei was an honest soldier and a man who didn¡¯t understand a girl¡¯s mind. He was very helpless about the quarrel between Zhuang Jie and An Ye.


    He looked deeply at An Ye and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care what you¡¯re pretending to be, but before we reach the destination this afternoon, please don¡¯t cause me any more trouble. Also, please don¡¯t try to drag down the progress of our squad! This is my warning to you!¡±


    Luo Fei¡¯s heart was filled with disgust and helplessness toward the girl in front of him. He no longer had any trust in her. She was just a liar who was full of deception. She was not worthy of his faith and sympathy.


    After Luo Fei finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian, who was not far away. He roared, ¡°Vice squad monitor! Inform everyone that the rest time is over, and we¡¯ll continue!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian stood up from her cross-legged position. She did not even use her hands to support herself on the ground or grab a branch. After getting up effortlessly, she replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s successful posture and tried to stand up like her. However, the five-hour Mountain cross-country walk had exhausted his energy, and he was unsuccessful!


    Lin Feng reached out to help him and joked, ¡°Brother Qin! Don¡¯t compare yourself to sister Xian! It¡¯s not good to let the female students from the other groups see you in such a sorry state.¡±

 Chapter 271 - 271 Chapter 271. Attacking The Heart

    271 Chapter 271. Attacking The Heart


    Li Qin was speechless. ¡®What?¡¯.


    Zhuang Xian skillfully organized everyone to hurry on their way. When everyone walked in front of her, she glanced at An Ye, who was left behind by herself because she was despised and ostracized by everyone. She was playing with the dagger she had used to kill the wild boar yesterday and stood in place, waiting for An Ye to come up.


    When An Ye saw what Zhuang Xian was holding, she subconsciously moved two meters away and asked cautiously, ¡°What do you want to do? I¡¯m warning you, if you dare to touch me in this place, the school will not let you off!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she lowered her eyes and looked at her indifferently, a cold smile in her eyes. ¡°Why are you so guilty? What can I do for you? Do you think you would still be alive if I wanted to deal with you?¡±


    An Ye looked at the strange expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and felt more alert and afraid. Yesterday, Zhuang Xian used the dagger in her hand to kill the wild boar. That simple and fierce action was seen by An Ye when she flew out and crouched on the ground!


    An Ye swallowed her saliva and tried to calm herself down. She looked at the other students who were gradually walking away, and the anxiety in her heart became more apparent.


    Her voice was tight, but she had to pretend to be calm and rebut her, making her look strong on the outside but weak on the inside. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll be afraid of you? Don¡¯t even think about it! If you dare to touch me, my family won¡¯t let this go. The police won¡¯t let you off!¡±


    Zhuang Xian slowly leaned toward An Ye. After getting closer, she smiled and said, ¡°Even if I don¡¯t touch you, I can still make you wish you were dead! Haven¡¯t you already felt it?¡±


    An Ye was stunned and looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise. At this moment, An Ye felt that the strange behavior of her body was closely related to Zhuang Xian. Otherwise, why would Zhuang Xian say that? Did she know something? Or perhaps, all of this was Zhuang Xian¡¯s doing!


    ¡°What do you mean by that? What do you know?¡± An Ye¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at Zhuang Xian and asked anxiously, ¡°It¡¯s you, right? You¡¯re the one who injured me, right?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a mysterious expression. However, she just smiled and did not answer.


    An Ye looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s smile as if she had seen the devil. She was sure that this matter had something to do with Zhuang Xian. She took a few steps back in fear and asked uneasily, ¡°Why did you do this? You have a more direct way to take revenge on me! Why are you doing this? What¡¯s your goal?¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and nodded. ¡°You¡¯re indeed much smarter than Zhuang Jie. You managed to react so quickly!¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Xian praise her, An Ye¡¯s heart exploded with a chill. This was too wrong! Zhuang Xian, this is too strange! Why did she choose to lay all her cards on the table now? She was not such a simple, stupid, and ambitious person. What other motives did Zhuang Xian have?


    An Ye looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s chuckle, and her body started to tremble. ¡°You¡¯ve spent so much effort to plot against me. I don¡¯t think you¡¯re just trying to show off in front of me! What else do you want?¡±


    An Ye couldn¡¯t figure out why Zhuang Xian would do this, but it didn¡¯t stop her from being afraid of Zhuang Xian. This was the first time she felt a terrifying sense of restraint from someone who could ultimately see through her!


    Zhuang Xian had guessed that she was currently isolated and helpless, which was why she dared to be so fearless and come alone to meet her.


    She didn¡¯t express anything but deliberately guided her to think in the direction she expected. Zhuang Xian had clearly ¡®told¡¯ her everything, so why did she do this? Why was she so confident in revealing her trump card to her? Was Zhuang Xian such a kind person?


    Zhuang Xian was not!


    She sneered at An Ye¡¯s face as if she was watching a monkey show with great interest!


    ¡°The feeling of being deceived and abandoned by everyone must not feel good, right?¡± Seeing it was getting late, Zhuang Xian decided to be merciful and tell An Ye some of her plans. ¡°How about this inexplicable sense of loss and frustration? Don¡¯t you feel that it¡¯s familiar? Don¡¯t worry; what¡¯s going to happen next will be just as exciting. Trust me; you¡¯ll like it!¡±

 Chapter 272 - 272 Chapter 272. A series of Attacks

    272 Chapter 272. A series of Attacks


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her hand and snapped fingers at An Ye. There was some white powder on her fingertips, and it gently dispersed into the air. An Ye didn¡¯t notice it, but the powder was sucked into her nose and the atmosphere.


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and stepped back. She turned around and walked forward.


    An Ye was stunned. Before she could recover from Zhuang Xian¡¯s mysterious words, she was shocked by Zhuang Xian¡¯s sudden departure.


    An Ye didn¡¯t understand. She wanted to call out to Zhuang Xian, but she realized that she could only make some strange syllables from her throat. An Ye was stunned. She placed her hands on her neck and felt a sharp pain in her throat. The next moment, An Ye knelt and spat a mouthful of blood!


    An Ye, completely scared out of her wits, only slowly got up after two minutes. She tried her best to catch up to Zhuang Xian in front of her. It was as if she had gone crazy, and her mouth made unsightly sounds.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t walk too fast on purpose. She just walked behind her teammates and waited for An Ye to rush over.


    Li Qin and his two team members were walking in front. After not seeing Zhuang Xian for a while, he stopped and looked back. He muttered to himself, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen sister Xian for a long time. Where did she go? Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯s been pestered by those crazy women again?¡±


    As Li Qin said, he felt that the possibility of this was very high. He lifted his feet and walked in the opposite direction. Lin Feng and Zhang Yang saw the situation and followed him back.


    Luo Fei was at the back of the group. When he saw a few of them walking back, he said, ¡°What are you three doing? Hurry up and move forward!¡±


    However, in the next second, Luo Fei realized that his words did not have any effect. Just as he was about to say something loudly, he realized that Li Qin, walking at the front, had a massive change in his expression. He was shouting in the direction behind him.


    ¡°Sister Xian! Behind you! Quickly dodge!¡± Luo Fei heard Li Qin shout.


    Luo Fei, like the other students beside him, subconsciously looked back. There were not many students left behind them. Zhuang Xian, who was walking at the back of the group, seemed to have heard Li Qin¡¯s shout and subconsciously looked up. However, she overlooked An Ye, who was running towards her from behind.


    Li Qin¡¯s eyes widened, and he took a few steps toward Zhuang Xian. He was so fast that he didn¡¯t look like he had been able to stand up from the ground. However, he was still too far away from Zhuang Xian!


    When An Ye pounced on Zhuang Xian and knocked her to the ground, Li Qin and Luo Fei could only watch helplessly. Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, who were behind her, also ran over. Zhang Yang was still cursing madly, ¡°F*ck! Is this woman crazy?¡±


    They were not the only ones who witnessed this scene. Standing not far away, Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin had also seen it!


    An Ye didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Xian to be unable to withstand the impact. When she was brought to the ground by Zhuang Xian, her face was shocked and astonished, but only Zhuang Xian saw it!


    The corners of Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth curved slightly, and her eyes were filled with absolute confidence, madness, and hatred. The action of grabbing An Ye¡¯s belt was also highly subtle. As she rolled down the slope with An Ye, her right hand quickly covered her head!


    An Ye was so anxious that she almost lost her voice. Shock and fear flashed across her eyes. When Zhuang Xian trapped her body, she felt that she had fallen into her trap again.


    In the eyes of the people standing on the top of the slope, An Ye attacked Zhuang Xian from behind, and Zhuang Xian was carried down the slope by An Ye!


    An Ye was holding Zhuang Xian as they rolled down the slope. The slope was covered with dry branches and dead leaves; occasionally, there were sharp rocks. Wherever they rolled, fallen leaves were lifted. It was only when the slope slowed down that the two of them slowed down.


    Li Qin had been chasing after them with significant steps when An Ye had rolled down with Zhuang Xian. However, how could his running speed be faster than theirs?


    Li Qin was shocked silly by this sudden scene. He shouted in rage, ¡°An Ye! F*ck your mother! You¡¯re crazy! Stop it! Sister Xian!¡±

 Chapter 273 - 273 Chapter 273. Suicide Attack

    273 Chapter 273. Suicide Attack


    However, even when An Ye held back Zhuang Xian, and they both rolled down the slope, Li Qin still couldn¡¯t save Zhuang Xian from An Ye!


    When running down the slope, he couldn¡¯t stop in time and fell to the ground. Li Qin didn¡¯t have time to care about this and immediately turned to look in Zhuang Xian¡¯s direction.


    When he saw Zhuang Xian lying on the ground, not moving at all, Li Qin¡¯s heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to fly.


    He quickly sat up and rushed to Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. His whole body trembled slightly, and he did not realize his voice was parched. He asked tentatively, ¡°Sister Xian?¡±


    The only reply he got was dead silence.


    Li Qin quickly reached out his hands and gently helped Zhuang Xian up. When he saw the blood on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left cheek, Li Qin felt like he was going crazy. He shouted, ¡°Sister Xian! Sister Xian, wake up! Sister Xian!¡±


    Luo Fei slid down behind Li Qin. He looked at Zhuang Xian, who was in Li Qin¡¯s arms, and hurriedly ordered, ¡°Li Qin, calm down first! Don¡¯t rush to move her; put her down slowly; I¡¯ll see if there¡¯s any impact or fracture on her body!¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he seemed to have regained some of his senses. He forcefully suppressed his tense emotions and slowly placed Zhuang Xian back on the ground.


    Luo Fei¡¯s face darkened as he quickly sized up Zhuang Xian¡¯s condition. Luo Fei¡¯s heart sank when he saw that the joint on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm was not in the correct position.


    He looked up at Li Qin, swallowed his saliva, and reminded him with a heavy breath, ¡°Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm is probably dislocated. Don¡¯t touch her yet; wake her up gently! I¡¯ll go check on the one at the side, don¡¯t let her die!¡±


    As he spoke, he patted Li Qin¡¯s shoulder, got up, and walked over to An Ye.


    An Ye rolled a few more times than Zhuang Xian and stopped when her waist hit a tree trunk.


    When Luo Fei rushed over, he knew An Ye was much unlucky than Zhuang Xian! What kind of attack was this? It was the first time Luo Fei had seen someone so stupid without self-awareness!


    This was killing 800 enemies and losing 20000 of their own!


    It could also be called a suicide attack!


    Two minutes had passed by the time Lin Feng, Zhang Yang, and the rest of the students ran down the slope.


    Lin Feng looked at the nervous and flustered Li Qin, then looked down at Zhuang Xian, lying flat on the ground. His heart was also in a state of panic. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head. He was at a loss and a little nervous and suppressed. He opened his mouth and asked softly, ¡°Brother Qin! Sister Xian, what¡¯s wrong with her? Is she badly injured?¡±


    Zhang Yang kneeled beside Zhuang Xian¡¯s feet quietly. He looked at the left side of Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful and delicate face. It was still bleeding. He trembled as he took out a white handkerchief from the chest pocket of his military training uniform. He handed it to Li Qin and asked Li Qin to stop the bleeding!


    Li Qin took it and gently pressed it on Zhuang Xian¡¯s injured face. The wound was not deep, but the bright red blood reflected on Zhuang Xian¡¯s fair face made it look remarkably abrupt and glaring!


    How could a girl¡¯s face be hurt? Especially when it was such a stunning and peerless girl like Zhuang Xian!


    Li Qin took a deep breath to ease his tense nerves. He used a handkerchief to help Zhuang Xian press on her bleeding wound and replied in a deep voice, ¡°Sister Xian¡¯s left arm is dislocated, and there¡¯s a cut on her face. I don¡¯t know anything else! Do any of you still have water? Give me some!¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s current position was very close to the following target location. Therefore, almost everyone¡¯s supplies had been used up. But even so, just as Li Qin¡¯s voice fell, countless hands holding water bottles had already reached out from his side!


    ¡°Brother Qin, here! This is mine! Although there¡¯s not much left, let¡¯s give the Vice squad monitor some first!¡±


    ¡°I still have half a bottle! I¡¯ve been keeping it and couldn¡¯t bear to drink it because I was afraid of an accident. Now, I¡¯ll give it to the Vice squad monitor because of the emergency!¡±


    ¡°Use mine, use mine! I have more!¡±


    ¡°Brother Qin, don¡¯t worry! Sister Xian is so powerful; she¡¯ll be fine! We are very close to the supply point. If we each recite a paragraph, we can also carry the Vice squad monitor!¡±

 Chapter 274 - 274 Chapter 274. Everyones Expectations

    274 Chapter 274. Everyone¡¯s Expectations


    Li Qin lowered his head and looked at Zhuang Xian. As his classmates behind him continued to talk, he slowly stopped. For some reason, Li Qin felt touched and gratified at this moment!


    The new students of Saint Capital University had many shortcomings. They were weak, liked to bluff, and had no sense of food. They had caused a lot of trouble for sister Xian and himself in this cross-country hiking. But just now, Li Qin had felt some camaraderie from them!


    As their classmate and vice squad monitor, Zhuang Xian had done a lot for them and helped them in the past two days! And all of this was something that some people had silently seen and deeply remembered in their hearts.


    Sometimes, the people¡¯s sentiments and expectations were ushered in by accumulated warm details.


    Li Qin raised his head and looked at the group of people. After thanking them in a low voice, he reached out and took a bottle of water. After opening it, he fed it to the unconscious Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian still didn¡¯t have any reaction. She just lay quietly on the ground.


    Lin Feng slowly came back to his senses. He looked at the students sitting around Zhuang Xian and gently let out a breath of turbid air. Then, he gently suggested, ¡°Everyone, why don¡¯t you spread out? I¡¯m afraid that the Vice squad monitor won¡¯t even be able to breathe fresh air after being surrounded by us like this!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just like what that student said. The Vice squad monitor is so powerful; she¡¯ll be fine! Even if she¡¯s injured, we¡¯ll be there!¡±


    Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. He asked worriedly, ¡°But none of us are doctors! Did anyone think of a way to solve sister Xian¡¯s problem? Why was sister Xian still not awake? Did she hurt you somewhere else?¡±


    Li Qin wet his handkerchief with water and gently wiped away the stains and blood on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. He sighed and did not dare to touch the wound on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. ¡°Sister Xian can do it herself!¡±


    Zhang Yang turned around and looked at Li Qin, puzzled, ¡°What do you mean sister Xian can do it herself?¡±


    Li Qin raised his head and looked at Luo Fei in the distance and An Ye, who a few students also surrounded. A dangerous look flashed in his eyes, but he still replied calmly, ¡°Sister Xian has studied medicine before. She should be able to reattach the dislocated hand!¡±


    Zhang Yang and Lin Feng were shocked. They looked at Li Qin in disbelief and asked in unison, ¡°Sister Xian has medical skills too?¡±


    Realizing that he and Zhang Yang had a good rapport, Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yang and added, ¡°But sister Xian can¡¯t wake up. What should we do? ¡±


    ¡°Is there anything sister Xian can¡¯t do? Sister Xian is not human, is she?¡± Zhang Yang realized that his compliment was a little ambiguous. He could also feel the unfriendly gazes from the students around him. He quickly explained, ¡°I mean, sister Xian is so amazing. She¡¯s not a mortal but a superhuman!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with worry.


    Luo Fei confirmed An Ye¡¯s injuries and felt it was a headache. When he walked over, his face was already covered in sweat.


    He knelt beside Li Qin and Zhuang Xian. After looking at Zhuang Xian, he said, ¡°This matter is no longer something we can solve. I plan to ask the military for help directly and have them send someone to take An Ye away!¡±


    As he spoke, he sighed in anger. ¡°Can anyone tell me what kind of grudge between An Ye and Zhuang Xian? Why did she do that? Was she trying to drag Zhuang Xian down with her? Was An Ye crazy? Hurry up and take this scourge away; I can¡¯t serve you anymore! Motherf*cker!¡±


    Luo Fei, who had always been calm and severe, was also extremely frustrated by the scene before him. He couldn¡¯t understand An Ye¡¯s strange thoughts. He only felt that the world had gone crazy.


    Li Qin looked at the squad monitor, cursing in a rage with a frighteningly cold expression. He opened his mouth and asked coldly, ¡°That woman isn¡¯t dead yet?¡±


    Luo Fei glanced at Li Qin. From his eyes, he could see many dangerous things.

 Chapter 275 - 275 Chapter 275. An Angry Li Qin

    275 Chapter 275. An Angry Li Qin


    The squad leader frowned, looked at Li Qin deeply, and then replied, ¡°She shouldn¡¯t be dead! However, her injuries are much more severe than Zhuang Xian¡¯s. If we don¡¯t get help soon, I¡¯m afraid the consequences will be dire!


    I don¡¯t understand the real reason for An Ye¡¯s actions, but she can¡¯t die in our team right now. Do you understand, Li Qin? ¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he nodded as if he was pretty satisfied with this result. He thought briefly and said, ¡°I understand, squad monitor. I won¡¯t do anything to her, but I won¡¯t let anyone who dares to hurt my sister Xian off easily.¡±


    Li Qin automatically concealed his thoughts.


    Since An Ye dared to attack sister Xian, she must have prepared herself for the Zhuang family¡¯s anger! How could he, Li Qin, let An Ye go?


    Li Qin lowered his head to look at Zhuang Xian¡¯s quiet side profile.


    Luo Fei was an intelligent and upright person. He might have noticed the hostility and hatred in Li Qin¡¯s eyes, but he was smart enough not to say anything.


    Sometimes, someone didn¡¯t have to be a busybody!


    He didn¡¯t know why An Ye would do this, nor did he understand how much An Ye hated Zhuang Xian. However, judging from the way Zhuang Xian and An Ye handled things and their personalities, Luo Fei was on Zhuang Xian¡¯s side!


    Zhuang Xian was much more noble and capable than An Ye¡¯s actions.


    Luo Fei also believed that Li Qin was an intelligent person. He thought that Li Qin knew what he had to do.


    They were still in military training and were in squad leader Luo Fei¡¯s jurisdiction. Luo Fei might have to bear the blame if any¡¯ Accidents¡¯ happened again.


    However, once they left this forest, Luo Fei couldn¡¯t control what Li Qin or the Zhuang family did to An Ye!


    Luo Fei did not want to care!


    In his heart, he even thought that people like An Ye should be taught a good lesson. He wanted to let these young ladies who loved to be calculative and court death know there was always someone better than them!


    Because of this sudden incident, Luo Fei¡¯s class stopped moving again. Luo Fei had been holding a satellite phone in his hand. He was looking at the clear sky above him and the open flat ground in front of him. He seemed to be thinking about something.


    Luo Fei¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. Behind him, An Ye was still lying unconscious under the shade of the tree, and Li Qin was gently hugging Zhuang Xian.


    It had been almost half an hour since they had moved to this place. The forest area of Blue Eagle Mountain was extensive, and the vegetation was lush. So when Lei Cheng came to pick them up in the helicopter, it took some time to determine the location of Luo Fei and the others.


    Lei Cheng looked nervously at the forest below the helicopter. He felt the imposing aura of the old Chief Li Zhen behind him. He did not know why, but his heart began to feel numb. A horrible feeling climbed up his brain.


    The students sitting under the shade of the trees looked listless. They had been resting for almost an hour, but who could sleep well under the high temperature of the forest? Moreover, they were empty of supplies this time!


    Everyone looked at An Ye, lying under the shade of the tree, not moving. Then, they looked at Zhuang Xian, who was in Li Qin¡¯s arms. The worry and frustration in their hearts had nowhere to go.


    One of them sized up Zhuang Jie, sitting on the side, and couldn¡¯t take it anymore, so he started to question her, ¡°Zhuang Jie! Aren¡¯t you An Ye¡¯s best friend? Do you know why she attacked the Vice squad monitor? Did the Vice squad monitor offend her? I don¡¯t understand. What kind of deep hatred could make An Ye attack the Vice squad monitor so crazily?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s there to ask? Isn¡¯t the answer obvious? ¡®Good sisters¡¯ like them, aren¡¯t they all the same, biting the hand that fed them? Do you think that they are good people? In my opinion, they¡¯re just cruel things!¡±


    ¡°All of them are beautiful, but their hearts are as vicious as scorpions. Just thinking about it makes me shudder! I don¡¯t think Zhuang Jie and the Ye Xin beside her are good people either!¡±

 Chapter 276 - 276 Chapter 276. It Has Nothing to do With us

    276 Chapter 276. It Has Nothing to do With us


    As the girl spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin. She ignored the cold gazes the two of them cast at her and added indignantly, ¡°Don¡¯t you remember? The two were right in front of her, and they had even badmouthed the Vice squad monitor! Ye Xin even tried to slander and defame the Vice squad monitor!¡±


    ¡°This time, maybe they¡¯re trying to murder the Vice squad monitor deliberately! Those who know will think that we are in military training. Those who don¡¯t know will think we are in some palace drama! It¡¯s terrifying to think about it!¡±


    As the female student spoke, she felt a chill under the scorching sun. She couldn¡¯t understand why she was assigned to the same team as such a deep-minded and ruthless woman. It was unlucky!


    Just as Zhuang Jie was about to retort, Ye Xin suddenly grabbed her arm.


    Ye Xin took a deep look at the girl who had accused them and said softly, ¡°Right now, everyone¡¯s heart is filled with a barrel of gunpowder! If you talk to them now, you¡¯re giving them the fuel for an explosion. Be smarter! An Ye¡¯s attack on Zhuang Xian had nothing to do with us! Don¡¯t be so stupid as to get close to her; don¡¯t you think you¡¯ll get yourself into trouble?¡±


    A dark glint flashed across Ye Xin¡¯s eyes as she spoke. She added, ¡°Later, whether it¡¯s the military or the college, if they ask about An Ye, you have to say you don¡¯t know. Tell them everything about the conflict between you and An Ye! Only then can we clear your name. Zhuang Xian¡¯s injury has nothing to do with us. It¡¯s between her and An Ye! Do you understand?¡±


    After listening to Ye Xin¡¯s analysis and ideas, Zhuang Jie took a few deep breaths before nodding thoughtfully and replying in a deep voice, ¡°I understand; I will make sure I¡¯m clean of this mess!¡±


    When Ye Xin heard this, she looked at Zhuang Jie a few times and furrowed her brows in worry.


    She knew that Zhuang Jie was impulsive and easily angered. She couldn¡¯t stand other people¡¯s provocation and had the personality of a young lady who didn¡¯t have much shrewdness!


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she didn¡¯t have a better ally to choose from, she would not have taken a fancy to Zhuang Jie! Ye Xin couldn¡¯t help but think about An Ye at this thought.


    From An Ye, she saw many things that were similar to her. People like her would never allow anyone to be identical to her because if they did, their thoughts and actions would be seen through by the other party!


    Moreover, how could she let people who were on the same level as her surround her all the time? Wouldn¡¯t that make her seem less different?


    So, Ye Xin was quite happy to see An Ye¡¯s actions! An Ye not only helped them get rid of the annoying Zhuang Xian, but she also sensibly disappeared from her sight. This was killing two birds with one stone!


    As Ye Xin thought about this, a smile and smugness appeared in her eyes. She felt she had already summed up all the information on the scene very well. Everything was under her control, and it was all very beneficial to her! It was a pretty good feeling.


    However, in the next moment, Zhuang Xian slowly woke up. This was a sign that made Ye Xin¡¯s smugness and self-righteousness disappear in an instant.


    When Li Qin saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyelids slowly moving, he was pleasantly surprised. He softly called out, ¡°Sister Xian? Sister Xian, are you awake?¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt a little dizzy. After swaying slightly, she opened her eyes. In the next second, Li Qin used his hand to cover the glaring sun.


    She sensed her surroundings and said softly, ¡°Where are we now?¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s voice alerted Luo Fei, Lin Feng, and the others observing the situation. They saw that Zhuang Xian had woken up and quickly walked over.


    Li Qin replied happily, ¡°It¡¯s still within the range of Blue Eagle Mountain! Sister Xian, you¡¯re finally awake! You scared me!¡±


    As he said this, he slowly supported Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and continued to ask worriedly, ¡°Sister Xian, please feel if there¡¯s anything else that¡¯s uncomfortable. When the military doctors arrive, we¡¯ll be able to tell them immediately!

 Chapter 277 - 277 Chapter 277. Just Dislocated

    277 Chapter 277. Just Dislocated


    Zhuang Xian was naturally very clear about her injuries. No one knew better than her how to control ¡®accidents¡¯!


    With Li Qin¡¯s help, Zhuang Xian slowly sat up straight. She glanced at An Ye, lying on the ground not far away, and shook her head. She said to Li Qin, ¡°I¡¯m fine. My left arm just dislocated.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her head and looked at Li Qin. Her beautiful face was pale, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly. She continued, ¡°However, I need you to do me a favor.¡±


    Seeing Li Qin nod his head without hesitation, Zhuang Xian reached out her right hand and pulled Li Qin¡¯s forearm over, letting him gently hold her left wrist. Zhuang Xian slowly raised her hand, indicating for Li Qin to get his arm into position, allowing her dislocated arm to maintain a 90-degree bend.


    There was a burst of pain where the dislocated joint was. Zhuang Xian did not care much, but her eyebrows furrowed subconsciously, and sweat oozed out of her forehead.


    When Luo Fei got closer, he finally understood what Zhuang Xian was doing. He was a little surprised and stopped her, ¡°Zhuang Xian! The doctors will be here soon, and they will help you recover your arm! Don¡¯t mess around; we¡¯ll wait a little longer!¡±


    With the class monitor¡¯s reminder, Zhang Yang finally understood what Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions meant. He widened his eyes and turned his head to look at Lin Feng beside him. He said in disbelief, ¡°Sister Xian, is she trying to put her hand back? Oh my God! Is sister Xian so cruel to herself?¡±


    Zhuang Xian ignored Luo Fei¡¯s warning and did not care about Zhang Yang¡¯s surprise. Her beautiful yet fragile face was calm, but the look in her eyes and the movements of her hands were calm and steady. She said to Li Qin, ¡°Help me up.¡±


    Naturally, Li Qin understood what she meant. He nodded and held onto Zhuang Xian¡¯s left wrist in a relaxed manner. His not-so-wide chest pressed against Zhuang Xian¡¯s back, and his right hand held onto Zhuang Xian¡¯s right shoulder!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s right hand let go of Li Qin and held onto her left arm instead. She slowly extended her arm outwards and started to guide her humerus. While doing this, she gritted her teeth and rotated her left arm outwards. After a muffled ¡®ka¡¯ sound, Zhuang Xian¡¯s right hand turned from holding onto Li Qin to supporting her left arm. She let out a deep breath.


    Li Qin lowered his head and looked at his sister Xian¡¯s pale face. He said worriedly, ¡°What do you think, sister Xian? Do you feel okay?¡±


    When Luo Fei saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s and Li Qin¡¯s reactions, he knew that her arm had been reattached. He opened his mouth and tried to stop Zhuang Xian, but he slowly closed it! What kind of person was Zhuang Xian? She would not do anything that she was not confident in!


    Zhang Yang and Lin Feng, along with the rest of their classmates, watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions in shock. She had reattached her dislocated arm so easily?


    She did not even wait for the doctors to arrive or ask anyone for help. She held the dislocated arm and settled it in just two or three moves!


    Zhang Yang was standing not far behind Luo Fei. He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm and indifferent face for a long time before he regained his senses.


    Of course, in addition to the surprise, they were more impressed. As expected, a person who could be the vice squad monitor was not a simple person!


    Hearing Li Qin¡¯s worried question, Zhuang Xian shook her head slightly and stared at the ground. After a moment of silence, she continued, ¡°Squad monitor! I want to call the police and sue her for intentional assault!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her head and looked at Luo Fei with a determined gaze.


    When Luo Fei heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He turned back to look at the unconscious An Ye and said in a deep voice, ¡°Regarding this matter, when the people from your Academy arrive later, you can go and negotiate with them! However, if you need me to speak as a witness, I can help you!¡±


    Luo Fei clearly expressed his attitude. His eyes were serious as he looked at Zhuang Xian, sitting on the ground.


    When he saw the look on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and her quiet and dark eyes, Luo Fei had already guessed Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts. She would not let the attack that had just happened go!

 Chapter 278 - 278 Chapter 278. I Want to Call The Police

    278 Chapter 278. I Want to Call The Police


    Since An Ye dared to attack Zhuang Xian publicly, she must have been prepared to be Zhuang Xian¡¯s enemy!


    When Zhuang Xian heard Luo Fei¡¯s tone, she knew her plan was already half-successful.


    Just now, when she was ¡®dragged¡¯ down the slope by An Ye, many students had witnessed it with their own eyes. With such ¡®irrefutable evidence¡¯, An Ye would not be able to deny it!


    As long as she insisted that An Ye hated her and was dissatisfied with her, the scales would be completely tilted in her favor from the beginning!


    Zhuang Xian let out a sigh of relief. She thought about the trap she had set for An Ye this time and the ¡®strong medicine¡¯ she had given An Ye. It should be enough to destroy An Ye directly. Then, all her efforts to put up such a good show would not be in vain!


    Many things flashed through Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind, but she did not forget to reply to Luo Fei. ¡°Thank you, squad monitor! However, we should have been stuck here for a long time. Will it affect the results of the other students?¡±


    When Luo Fei heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s question, he raised his hand and looked at his watch. He wiped the sweat off his face and said, ¡°In this situation, we can only deal with it especially! We couldn¡¯t just let An Ye lie on the ground like this, could we? Even if there were a delay, the Chief Instructor would still consider it! You should sit down and rest, don¡¯t think about these things!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, sister Xian! You don¡¯t have to worry about this; we are all willing to stay here, wait and support you!¡± Zhang Yang was listening to the conversation between Zhuang Xian and the squad monitor, so he continued, ¡°Besides, I think the Chief Instructor will look at us in a new light if he sees that our teammates are so united and not giving up on any of us!


    Lin Feng nodded silently and echoed, ¡°I also guess that the people in the school would disagree with instructor Lei Cheng being so unreasonable! So, sister Xian, you don¡¯t have to worry about us!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian slowly nodded her head. She naturally knew that this matter could be flexible. After all, the school¡¯s officials were not to be trifled with.


    Teacher Bai Fan from the Performing Arts Department was a representative figure in shielding their shortcomings. He would not allow Lei Cheng to do everything in one go, such a strict military training method without cultural care. Like Luo Fei said, ¡®special circumstances should be handled especially¡¯!


    Li Zhen and Lei Cheng sat in the helicopter. When they landed on the ground, another half an hour had passed.


    Lei Cheng had personally experienced the cold air pressure of the old Chief all the way. He did not know why, but he felt a little guilty. When they got off the plane, Lei Cheng reached out to support Li Zhen and even motioned for Bai Fan to help take care of the little airsick doctor.


    Bai Fan heaved a silent sigh, and when he returned to his senses, he lifted his arm to support the doctor.


    Luo Fei saw his immediate superior respectfully leading an old man over from the massive wind caused by the helicopter¡¯s wings. He quickly ran over!


    Standing in front of Lei Cheng and Li Zhen, Luo Fei immediately saluted and reported in a loud and respectful voice, ¡°Good day, Captain! Army 75th Division, Luo Fei, reporting for duty!¡±


    As Luo Fei spoke, he turned to look at Li Zhen, standing beside Lei Cheng. Although he did not know Li Zhen¡¯s true identity, this did not stop Luo Fei from saluting him.


    Li Zhen glanced at Luo Fei and gestured for him to lead the way. He did not stop walking. Although his face was still, his wise and deep eyes were filled with worry.


    Luo Fei turned around and subconsciously caught up with Li Zhen. He then turned back to look at his Captain, Lei Cheng.


    Lei Cheng was walking beside Li Zhen and had taken half a step back. He and Luo Fei exchanged a look.


    Luo Fei looked at Lei Cheng and slowly retracted his gaze. He felt that the old man he was leading was definitely not a simple person!


    The other party could make their Captain respectfully accompany him and escort him. This old man had such a grand display. Luo Fei, who was smart, had no choice but to think deeply.


    This old man¡¯s background didn¡¯t seem simple. Could it be that the matter between Zhuang Xian and An Ye had already become serious? Was it no longer Captain Lei Cheng¡¯s turn to handle this matter?

 Chapter 279 - 279 Chapter 279. Grandpa is Here

    279 Chapter 279. Grandpa is Here


    Since that was the case, which side did this old man belong to? Was it Zhuang Xian? Or An Ye?


    When Luo Fei led Li Zhen and Lei Cheng to where Zhuang Xian and the rest were, Li Qin suddenly felt a little uneasy.


    He turned his head and pressed on the position of his heart, frowning strangely. ¡°Why do I feel a chill on my back, as if something big is about to happen? That¡¯s strange!¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at him indifferently, then asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?¡±


    Li Qin shook his head with a strange expression and did not say anything.


    The sun hung high in the sky, which was the hottest time of the day. Zhuang Jie¡¯s sprain was getting more and more serious. She looked at her red and swollen ankle, her face full of pain!


    If it weren¡¯t for that she and Ye Xin didn¡¯t know how to get to the off-road route behind them, they would¡¯ve left this godforsaken place long ago and arrived at their next destination. They might¡¯ve even had a good meal and rest by now!


    Who would want to stay in such a broken place and wait for Zhuang Xian and An Ye¡¯s rescue?


    What did Zhuang Xian have to do with them? An Ye¡¯s life or death was none of their business. She attacked Zhuang Xian out of her own will and impulse. It had nothing to do with them!


    Zhuang Jie was very frustrated as she thought about this. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her chin. Her hands were covered in dirt, but she really couldn¡¯t care about that now.


    Ye Xin was sitting beside Zhuang Jie, wearing a military cap on her head. Under the lid, her eyes would occasionally glance at Zhuang Xian and the others nearby, as well as An Ye, who was lying alone in the shade of a tree. No one knew if she was dead or alive!


    Compared to the crowd around Zhuang Xian, An Ye was pitiful and sad. Her injuries were more severe than Zhuang Xian¡¯s, but no one took the initiative to care for her, let alone surround her.


    Ye Xin couldn¡¯t figure out why An Ye would suddenly attack Zhuang Xian so rashly. Didn¡¯t An Ye know that Zhuang Xian was strong enough to beat up several of her?


    Nearly two hours had passed since the incident. Ye Xin had slowly recovered from her initial self-satisfaction and gloating.


    She looked at An Ye and then turned to look at Zhuang Xian. She felt that the attack just now was extraordinary!


    What happened in the few minutes when Zhuang Xian and An Ye were at the back of the team? Why did An Ye suddenly rush over and attack Zhuang Xian at the cost of both sides¡¯ suffering?


    Suspicion slowly rose in Ye Xin¡¯s heart. As she looked at Zhuang Xian, her eyes were filled with gloominess and doubt!


    Compared to Ye Xin from her previous life, who could toy with Zhuang Xian and the Zhuang family, the current Ye Xin was not that deep and terrifying. Her methods and schemes were also slightly thin and full of loopholes!


    However, Ye Xin was still the same Ye Xin. She didn¡¯t become kind and cute just because she was reincarnated. She still had her otherworldly appearance to attract men and achieve her goals.


    All of Zhuang Xian¡¯s methods of revenge were not wrong. Some people were born to be evil and would not let you off just because you were kind and forgiving. If you gave in to them, they would become even more greedy!


    When Li Qin saw the person behind Luo Fei, his heart skipped. He immediately raised his hand and gently poked Zhuang Xian, staring at the ground in a daze. His Adam¡¯s apple was sliding up and down because he was so nervous that he swallowed.


    ¡°Sister Xian! Sister Xian, look! What is this old man doing here? Could it be that he knows you¡¯re injured, and I didn¡¯t protect you well, so he¡¯s here to deal with me? Heavens! I don¡¯t want to be punished by him in front of so many people! What do we do? What do we do?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she looked up and saw the imposing old man walking toward her. A surprise flashed across her eyes as if she had not expected Li Zhen to come personally.


    When she saw her grandfather, Zhuang Xian pursed her lips and stood subconsciously, wanting to walk over to welcome the old man!


    However, Li Zhen was like a worm in Zhuang Xian¡¯s stomach. When he saw Zhuang Xian trying to get up, he immediately raised his hand to stop her.

 Chapter 280 - 280 Chapter 280. Li Zhens Protective Side

    280 Chapter 280. Li Zhen¡¯s Protective Side


    From ten steps away, Li Zhen shouted at Zhuang Xian, ¡°You better stand there and don¡¯t move!¡±


    Zhuang Xian immediately stopped in her tracks and stood still. She felt that her grandfather did not seem to be in a good mood, so she decided to go along with him for now! After all, if this old child wanted to deal with her, it would be straightforward!


    Li Qin was panicking. He pulled Lin Feng, who was behind him and wanted to hide behind him. Li Zhen walked over. His turbid eyes were filled with wisdom as he stared straight at the two troublesome children in front of him.


    However, when he saw the scars on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and her left arm that drooped unnaturally, the heartache and pity in his heart far exceeded the anger on his face. ¡°Why is your face injured? Didn¡¯t you say it was just an arm injury?¡±


    As he spoke, he pulled Zhuang Xian over and looked her up and down a few times. Then, he asked worriedly, ¡°Where else hurts? Are you hurt anywhere else? Let¡¯s get the doctor to take a look at you!¡±


    As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, the doctor standing behind them came with a first aid kit.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile and said softly, ¡°Miss, you should sit down first. Let me take a look at the wounds on your body. Please tell me in detail if other places are uncomfortable.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the doctor calmly, then turned back to look at her grandfather. She shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine now. It¡¯s just a minor injury. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±


    Li Zhen¡¯s face darkened when he heard this. He raised his hand and pointed at the bloodstains on her face, pretending to disagree. He growled, ¡°If you¡¯re fine, then what¡¯s this? Did she have to break your arms and legs before you were in trouble? Lei Cheng said your arm was injured. Hurry up and let the doctor take a look! We¡¯ll talk about it later, but you¡¯d better listen to me now!¡±


    Li Qin looked at his sister Xian¡¯s silent expression and thought for a moment before slowly stepping forward and explaining to Li Zhen, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t yell at me yet! Sister Xian has already reattached her dislocated arm. Don¡¯t you understand her medical skills? She wouldn¡¯t be standing here so calmly if there was really something big!¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he glanced at Li Qin. When he saw him, he was furious. ¡°Tell me, how did you protect your sister Xian? You made her fall so miserably that her arm was dislocated, and you still have the cheek to tell me that? Have you forgotten what I told you when you first came here?¡±


    Zhuang Xian saw that the old man was angry, so she quickly stepped between them and said, ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t be angry! No matter how you blame this matter, you can¡¯t blame it on Li Qin! He wanted to save me, but it happened too suddenly. I didn¡¯t even have time to react before An Ye took me down. Li Qin was far from me, so I can¡¯t blame him!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at the situation before him and quickly echoed, ¡°Yes, old Sir! Sister Xian and Brother Qin had nothing to do with this! If you want to be angry, you should be looking for the real culprit!¡±


    Lin Feng¡¯s words caused the atmosphere to freeze. Li Zhen turned his head to look at Lin Feng, who had the severe and upright air of a soldier. He asked in confusion, ¡°The main culprit? What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡±


    When Lei Cheng heard this, he stepped forward and interrupted, ¡°It¡¯s like this, old General. When we got on the plane just now, I was worried that you would be too anxious, so I hid some things from you! Zhuang Xian¡¯s injury wasn¡¯t just because of the fall. After a classmate beside her attacked her, she was grabbed and rolled down the slope with her! Because the other party was seriously injured, Luo Fei specially requested me to help her!¡±


    Li Zhen¡¯s expression darkened when he heard that.


    He first looked at Lei Cheng, who was talking and then turned to look at Luo Fei. After a few seconds, he said coldly, ¡°So, if I hadn¡¯t happened to see you on the phone, you wouldn¡¯t have reported this to me, right? My granddaughter, Zhuang Xian, was ambushed, and all you reported to me is that she fell?¡±

 Chapter 281 - 281 Chapter 281. The Military And The School

    281 Chapter 281. The Military And The School


    Lei Cheng lowered his head in silence as if silently agreeing with Li Zhen¡¯s words.


    Lei Cheng was quite wronged. The old General had never mentioned to him that the primary purpose of this trip to Blue Eagle Mountain was to see his two grandchildren. So, how could Lei Cheng know that the girl who was attacked in Luo Fei¡¯s hands was the precious granddaughter that the old General had been thinking about?


    Lei Cheng was not only a simple-minded person but also highly unlucky. As soon as the incident happened, Luo Fei called him in time to report the situation. He was surprised and subconsciously repeated the name that Luo Fei mentioned. However, he did not realize that Li Zhen, standing behind him, had a strange expression as his conversation with Luo Fei got increasingly severe.


    At that time, Li Zhen had only heard about the general situation, but he had already requested to see Zhuang Xian in person. If he found out that Zhuang Xian did not fall but was dragged down the slope by An Ye, the old Chief would be furious.


    Therefore, Lei Cheng, who had an idea, reacted quickly and concealed the truth. He waited until he arrived at the scene and then slowly made a decision.


    Lei Cheng was not trying to push the blame away. He was apprehensive about the old General¡¯s emotions. Hence, in the face of Li Zhen¡¯s questioning and anger, Lei Cheng did not have any complaints.


    After Li Zhen finished questioning Lei Cheng, he turned to look at Luo Fei and asked coldly, ¡°So, who is this audacious person who dared to attack his classmate? Tell me the whole story! I¡¯d like to see what kind of evil person would dare to plot against my granddaughter!¡±


    Seeing that her grandfather was about to get angry again, Zhuang Xian quickly went up to hold Li Zhen¡¯s hand and comforted him, ¡°Alright, Grandpa! Fortunately, you¡¯re here now, and you can see that I¡¯m standing here safe and sound. Please don¡¯t blame some innocent people, okay? The most important thing now is to check on An Ye¡¯s injuries. Although she was the one who attacked me, I don¡¯t know if she¡¯s dead or alive. Let¡¯s let the doctor take a look at her first. We¡¯ll settle the score with her when she wakes up.¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had spoken up for him, Luo Fei looked at her and added, ¡°Yes, Chief! I don¡¯t think An Ye¡¯s condition is excellent. Let the doctor take a look.¡±


    After listening for a long time, Bai Fan roughly understood that this matter wasn¡¯t easy to deal with. If this matter were suspected of intentional assault or even assault, then it would be complicated. From Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, she didn¡¯t intend to let An Ye go quickly.


    Seeing the seriousness of the matter, Bai Fan sighed softly. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and echoed, ¡± Zhuang Xian is right. No matter what happened, the most important thing now is to let the doctor check on An Ye.


    As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for the doctor to follow the Squad monitor to save the patient. After a pause, he continued, ¡°Chief, I know you feel bad for your granddaughter, but the situation is now special. Please cooperate with our school. We¡¯re all here. We can¡¯t just watch that child die.¡±


    After Bai Fan finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhen with a sincere and humble look. He had a very carefree and transparent personality and knew what to do at the right time. Therefore, he was pretty confident when dealing with people in high positions like Li Zhen.


    Li Zhen gave Bai Fan a deep look, his expression as calm as an ancient well. After a long while, he nodded, got up, and pulled Zhuang Xian to sit on a big rock at the side. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll wait and see how this student is doing. No matter what, we¡¯ll pursue this matter to the end!


    It doesn¡¯t matter if she¡¯s lying down and not talking. Aren¡¯t there so many students at the scene? When we collect evidence later, I believe we won¡¯t wrong her! I hope the school will give Xian ¡®er a fair and just answer.¡±


    Bai Fan knew the seriousness and complexity of the situation, so he nodded and said in a deep voice, ¡°That¡¯s only natural! I would have handled it impartially even if you didn¡¯t say it. Zhuang Xian is my student, and I will not allow anyone to bully her!¡±

 Chapter 282 - 282 Chapter 282. The Seriousness of The Situation

    282 Chapter 282. The Seriousness of The Situation


    When Li Zhen heard this, he nodded and did not say anything else. His eyes turned to Luo Fei and the doctor, who was a few steps away.


    Seeing that the doctor had finally started to examine An Ye¡¯s injuries, Luo Fei heaved a sigh of relief. He did not want An Ye to die in his hands. Five minutes passed, and Luo Fei looked up at the doctor and asked, ¡°How¡¯s her condition?¡±


    The doctor took the stethoscope back into the first aid kit. He looked up at Luo Fei and said with a severe expression, ¡°Her injuries are severe. She has multiple fractures all over her body. I suspect that there is also the possibility of internal bleeding. The most serious injury should be the impact on her waist! The methods I can use to treat her are minimal. To ensure this student¡¯s safety, I suggest we send her to the hospital immediately. We can¡¯t delay any longer!¡±


    As the doctor spoke, he gestured for Luo Fei to look at the thermometer that was used to check An Ye¡¯s temperature. The temperature on it shocked Luo Fei.


    Luo Fei quickly returned to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Lei Cheng and Bai Fan, who was walking towards him. He reported in a low voice, ¡°Captain, teacher Bai! An Ye¡¯s injuries are too complicated. The doctor suggested that she should be sent to the hospital directly!¡±


    Lei Cheng frowned when he heard this. He never thought that this matter would be so complicated and strange. An Ye was the one who initiated the attack, but she was so unlucky and tragic. The injuries on her body looked several times more severe than those on Zhuang Xian, who she had attacked!


    He didn¡¯t know if he should hate her stupidity and self-destructions or pity her for bringing this upon herself. Thinking of this, Lei Cheng gently nodded his head. After turning his head and exchanging a look with Bai Fan, he replied, ¡°I know; I¡¯ll get someone to take her away. I can¡¯t let her die here! Teacher Bai, please inform An Ye¡¯s family and tell them to wait at the hospital!¡±


    Bai Fan let out a light sigh and replied, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all we can do for now!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Zhen and Zhuang Xian behind them. After some thought, he frowned and continued, ¡°But how are we going to report this to the old general?¡±


    This matter seemed to have become a little tricky now. The main culprit had fallen to the ground and could not get up, but the victim was standing by the side, alive and well. Li Zhen was also a prominent figure who could shake the military and political world with a stomp of his foot. Moreover, it was during military training, and there were dozens of classmates around them waiting for the results of the matter.


    Bai Fan couldn¡¯t ignore the students around him. They were looking at him with a kind of reliance and expectation.


    Bai Fan didn¡¯t know what had happened between them and Zhuang Xian in the past two days, but from everyone¡¯s expressions, Bai Fan could vaguely sense a lot of things.


    For example, everyone seemed to be on Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. Many people looked at Zhuang Xian with worry and gratitude, but they didn¡¯t seem to care much about An Ye¡¯s injury! It appeared that there was already a balance in the students¡¯ hearts. They were more clear about who was right and who was wrong.


    Luo Fei also knew that it was not easy to report to the old General with the current situation.


    This old chief seemed to be highly protective of Zhuang Xian. He was still in a fit of anger and was waiting for the doctor to finish examining the situation before interrogating and teaching An Ye a lesson to vent his anger.


    But now, they wanted to tell him they had to send An Ye to the hospital first. When her injuries were better, and she had woken up, he could then interrogate her!


    Wasn¡¯t this adding fuel to the fire?


    Luo Fei did not dare to do so! He raised his head and looked at his Captain. The meaning in his eyes was apparent. He wanted Lei Cheng to be the one to poke the hornet¡¯s nest.


    Lei Cheng understood the meaning in Luo Fei¡¯s eyes and helplessly raised his eyebrows and smiled. He then looked at Bai Fan and said, ¡°What kind of person do you think my old General is? He¡¯s not such an unreasonable person. There¡¯s nothing wrong with our way of handling this matter. As long as we explain it clearly to him, it¡¯ll be fine. I¡¯ll go talk to him.¡±


    This was the first time Bai Fan and Luo Fei had met Li Zhen, so they didn¡¯t understand this iron-blooded officer who had many years of experience. It was customary for them to be worried about the General¡¯s bad temper.

 Chapter 283 - 283 Chapter 283. Li Zhens Heartache

    283 Chapter 283. Li Zhen¡¯s Heartache


    Lei Cheng was the only person on the field who could be considered to have had some interaction with Li Zhen. This task fell on his shoulders.


    When Bai Fan and Lei Cheng walked away, Li Zhen turned to look at Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face. Seeing the red and swollen wound, Li Zhen¡¯s heart ached. He reached out to touch Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm and didn¡¯t miss the flash of pain on her face.


    Li Zhen heaved a long sigh of pain and whispered to Zhuang Xian, ¡°If I had known that this was your plan, I would have rejected you! Look at what you¡¯ve done! Was it that important to take revenge on them? More important than your health? I used to think you were a brilliant child with a good plan for your future and what you wanted to do! I like your independent and confident personality!¡±


    As Li Zhen spoke, he looked at the vegetation in the distance that was blown by the wind and said in a heavy tone, ¡°But it was only today that I realized that I have never truly understood you! You¡¯re confused, child. Revenge is essential, but you have plenty of skills. Why did you choose this one? Do you think I¡¯m like them, someone, who doesn¡¯t understand your abilities and thoughts? Is a person like An Ye worth risking your life for revenge? You¡¯re overthinking things, child!


    Grandpa has told you before that as long as you ask for it, I will help you complete it! Of course, I know what you¡¯re thinking. You don¡¯t want to use anyone to achieve the goal you¡¯ve set in your heart. But how can Grandpa watch you take revenge in this way? Don¡¯t you feel pain, child?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Li Zhen¡¯s first sentence, she knew she could no longer hide her thoughts in front of the old man! Li Zhen was a thousand-year-old Sly Fox. Even if he was too lazy to show his face to others, his ability to see through people could not be ignored. Zhuang Xian was practically invisible in front of him!


    As Zhuang Xian¡¯s martial arts master, how could Li Zhen not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s strength? That female classmate named An Ye was not Zhuang Xian¡¯s match, let alone being able to attack Zhuang Xian and drag her to ¡®die¡¯ with her. What An Ye wanted to do and what she could do all depended on Zhuang Xian¡¯s will!


    An Ye would do whatever Zhuang Xian wanted her to do! For example, the success of the ¡®attack¡¯ was what Zhuang Xian wanted An Ye to show everyone.


    She wanted everyone to know how shameless and despicable An Ye was. She wanted everyone to hate and abandon An Ye. She wanted everyone to no longer trust her. She wanted her to have a taste of the pain that she had inflicted on others in her previous life.


    Old master Li¡¯s words were indeed correct. The moment An Ye pounced on her, Zhuang Xian had certainly overthought. She didn¡¯t have time to think too much but subconsciously followed the evilest thought in her heart, which was to kill An Ye! Even if the price were to get herself injured, she would not hesitate!


    Zhuang Xian had indeed succeeded.


    She made everyone believe in the ¡®truth¡¯ that she had created, including Li Qin, who had been by her side the entire time and had witnessed the whole process! Li Qin should have been able to know if he hadn¡¯t cared so much about Zhuang Xian¡¯s safety.


    As Li Qin listened to his grandfather¡¯s words, he felt his brain couldn¡¯t process them properly. However, a voice in his heart told him that his grandfather was telling the truth and that Zhuang Xian had created all the danger that had just happened. Or, more accurately, it was privately guided and pushed by Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian was lying to everyone, and that included himself.


    ¡°Sister Xian, is what is Grandpa saying true? Did you do that for revenge? Did you plan for An Ye to drag you down with her?¡± Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian in disbelief, his eyes slowly filling with a haze. ¡°So, those were all your designs? You¡¯ve lied to everyone, including me, right?¡±


    Compared to the old man¡¯s sincere and consoling words, Li Qin¡¯s sad question made Zhuang Xian feel even worse!

 Chapter 284 - 284 Chapter 284. Zhuang Xians Bullying

    284 Chapter 284. Zhuang Xian¡¯s Bullying


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes filled with guilt. Of course, this guilt was mainly directed at Li Qin and those who truly cared about her.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    When Li Qin heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, he felt like a needle had pierced his heart. The pain spread from the tip of the needle to the surface, and it was burning. He asked in confusion, ¡°Why?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face was pale. She looked at Li Qin and Li Zhen with eyes full of sadness and determination. ¡°I want revenge! I would take revenge at all costs! Let these hypocritical, sinister, and despicable people all roll back to their hell! You guys knew this all along.¡±


    Li Qin felt a sharp pain in his heart. He did not understand and did not want to believe it. Zhuang Xian was not that kind of person. Why did she have to pretend to be someone who would resort to unscrupulous means and schemes? Why did she have to put on a fake mask all the time? Why did she have to arm herself so excessively?


    Li Zhen looked at his two grandchildren and patted Li Qin¡¯s shoulder. Then, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian. After a few seconds, he smiled and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°You¡¯re only good at scaring this silly boy who only has eyes and heart for you!¡±


    Li Zhen sighed for the umpteenth time today. He looked at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°When we return to the camp later, grandpa will have a good talk with you. For now, you should think about what I said! Leave the rest to me. I promise I¡¯ll make sure An Ye quietly disappears from your world.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she pretended to be calm and collected her overly complicated emotions. She glanced at Li Qin, sitting beside her grandfather with a look of grievance and disappointment, and explained, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to come personally, so I¡¯ve made all the preparations. An Ye will naturally leave ¡®quietly¡¯! As long as the only person at the scene who knows the truth is afraid ¡­¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she pretended to look at Li Qin calmly, then continued, ¡°If they won¡¯t betray me and tell others about this, then I can directly declare success.¡±


    Li Qin, ¡°Wuwu¡±


    Little young master Li was so angry that his chest hurt. He almost cried out loud on such an occasion! Was there any justice in this world? Who could cure Zhuang Xian?


    Was he the one who was deceived and bullied by her? The person attacked by her unkind words was also him. He was also the person who suffered all the grievances with nowhere to vent and could only break his teeth and swallow them down.


    But Zhuang Xian was clearly in the wrong, so why was he the one being bullied?


    Li Qin, looking up at the sky and trying to make his tears flow back, thought with extreme sadness!


    He wanted to be angry at Zhuang Xian, but after he returned to his senses, he could still figure it out.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s unique background and experience made her do many things with a stubbornness that she did not know about. It was as if she had hidden a secret in her heart for years, and only she knew how hard it was for her!


    Li Qin liked Zhuang Xian¡¯s capabilities and personality, so he would naturally be very tolerant and accept her minor flaws. But in the current situation, Li Qin still decided to properly anger Zhuang Xian because Zhuang Xian had gone too far this time! Oh!


    Li Zhen looked helplessly at his grandson, who only knew how to sigh and glare at him silently. He felt this kid was already entirely under Xian ¡®er¡¯s control. He would probably never be able to make a comeback in this lifetime.


    After listening to Lei Cheng¡¯s report and Luo Fei¡¯s explanation of the whole incident, Li Zhen did not hold on to An Ye as Lei Cheng said.


    After all, An Ye wasn¡¯t clear-headed, and the timing wasn¡¯t right. They had the advantage and didn¡¯t need to rush!


    There was still a long way to go. When An Ye finally wakes up, it will be time for Zhuang Xian to win.


    Aware of all the details of this matter, Li Zhen sat in the helicopter and returned with Lei Cheng and the others. He was deep in thought the whole way.


    After a long while, he sighed softly and turned back to look at Zhuang Xian. Her delicate little face, covered with white medical gauze, was full of silence.

 Chapter 285 - 285 Chapter 285. Back to The Military Base

    285 Chapter 285. Back to The Military Base


    Li Zhen had to admit that Zhuang Xian¡¯s plan this time, other than not taking her safety seriously, was indeed flawless!


    An Ye had been trapped in a snare by Zhuang Xian. She couldn¡¯t escape. What she should do most was repent for all the things she had done to offend Zhuang Xian and all the greedy and treacherous things she had done in her previous life.


    When good and evil end, fate and retribution would measure the outcome.


    An Ye only had herself to blame, but Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin couldn¡¯t escape either.


    Although Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries weren¡¯t serious, with her grandfather¡¯s murderous look, Zhuang Xian eventually chose to follow the helicopter back to the Blue Eagle military base. An ambulance quickly took An Ye away.


    Bai Fan looked at Zhuang Xian with a severe expression and said in a deep voice, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re fine? You don¡¯t need to follow the ambulance to the hospital for a proper examination?¡±


    Mr. Bai, you might not know this, but Xian ¡®er used to study medicine for a while. She¡¯s very good at treating both internal and external injuries. If she says she¡¯s okay, then she should be fine! You don¡¯t have to worry; I¡¯ll get the doctor to treat her wound!¡±


    Hearing this, Bai Fan could only nod and let them be. Although he was a little surprised that Zhuang Xian had such abilities, when he thought about how an important figure like Li Zhen was Zhuang Xian¡¯s grandfather, it didn¡¯t seem surprising that Zhuang Xian had some medical skills!


    As he thought about this, he looked up at Li Zhen, bowed slightly, and sincerely said, ¡°Regarding An Ye¡¯s attack on Zhuang Xian, I will investigate and deal with it properly. The old chief, you can rest assured.¡±


    Hearing teacher Bai Fan¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian¡¯s face turned slightly cold, and she said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s the school¡¯s business how they want to investigate. I¡¯ll call the police directly to get back at An Ye for my losses. I don¡¯t accept settlement or mediation. She wanted to attack me on purpose; she wanted to murder me! I didn¡¯t die because I was lucky. She fell so miserably because she was unlucky. It had nothing to do with me! In any case, I won¡¯t let this go.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her head and looked at Bai Fan. She continued calmly, ¡°I¡¯m willing to cooperate with the school¡¯s work, but I also hope the school will handle this fairly. I don¡¯t want to see the suspect asking for the victim¡¯s understanding or leniency just because she was injured too badly! I admit I¡¯m not magnanimous, but I also believe that no one in this world will forgive a murderer who wants to kill them! This is my attitude, Mr. Bai. Don¡¯t blame me for being blunt.¡±


    Although Bai Fan was looking at Zhuang Xian with a severe expression, he had already begun to admire this girl with a powerful personality and strong opinions. He nodded slightly and replied, ¡°I understand. I will also convey your attitude to the school and An Ye¡¯s family! If that¡¯s true, then An Ye¡¯s crime is evil. The school will take it seriously.¡±


    After Bai Fan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Zhen and Lei Cheng. After saying his goodbyes, he turned around and left.


    Li Zhen retracted his gaze from Bai Fan and looked at Zhuang Xian beside him. He said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Follow grandpa inside and let the doctor take a look at your injuries! ¡±


    As Li Zhen spoke, he sighed worriedly. ¡°I¡¯m furious when I look at the wounds on your little face! Ai!¡±


    As for where this anger came from and who it came from, Zhuang Xian pretended not to know. She followed behind instructor Lei Cheng silently and entered the military officers¡¯ residential area.


    Zhuang Xian felt the wound on her face did not hurt. It was not even a thousandth of the pain she felt when she saw her brother in such a state in her previous life! Zhuang Bai was such a proud person. He shouldn¡¯t have been deceived and used by such a person. An Ye deserved it.


    After a thorough examination by the doctor, Zhuang Xian¡¯s body had a few more bandages wrapped around it. When Li Zhen took her to the cafeteria for dinner, Zhuang Xian looked much better.


    Due to her injuries and the fact that the police had to collect evidence, Saint Capital University and the military agreed to let Zhuang Xian stay in the military¡¯s residential area.

 Chapter 286 - 286 Chapter 286. A Heart

    286 Chapter 286. A Heart-to-heart Conversation


    Therefore, Zhuang Xian stayed here for the night and waited for An Ye to wake up the next day to cooperate with the police¡¯s investigation.


    Li Zhen placed the chicken leg on the plate in front of Zhuang Xian and said gently, ¡°Eat more and quickly recover from your injuries! If the soldiers you¡¯ve led before see you like this, they¡¯ll have nightmares! The invincible god of war in their hearts was injured? Their view of the world will collapse; do you know that?¡±


    Zhuang Xian lowered her head and looked at the chicken leg on her plate. Her depressed mood for the whole day finally began to calm down. Everything was going according to her plan. Her revenge on An Ye was coming to an end.


    She was ruined, notorious, cruel, hypocritical, and sinister. These words would forever accompany An Ye. No matter where she went, she could never be the An Ye she used to be! In short, An Ye was destroyed.


    After Zhuang Xian finished thinking about all this, she let out a small sigh of relief. She held the fat and fragrant chicken leg in her hand and started to gnaw on it in a good mood. At the same time, she did not forget to reply, ¡°I can¡¯t control what other people think! So what if it collapsed? As long as I achieve my goal, it¡¯s fine.¡±


    Li Zhen¡¯s dark eyes were filled with gloominess and complexity as he looked at Zhuang Xian, who was still doing things her way and not reflecting on her own mistakes. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhuang Xian seriously. ¡°So, every time you take revenge on an enemy in the future, you will do it at all costs? Or even your own life?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands paused for a moment, but she did not stop.


    ¡°Grandfather doesn¡¯t know how you came up with such a stubborn idea, but I have to tell you seriously right now, Zhenzhen,¡± Li Zhen said, his wrinkled face looking more dignified and calm. He treated Zhuang Xian as his granddaughter. ¡°Zhuang Xian! Look at Grandpa.¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked up at Li Zhen with her delicate eyes.


    ¡°In this world, no hatred is worth you using your life or health as a bargaining chip for revenge! First of all, you¡¯re a man of flesh and blood. You¡¯re not a revenge machine, do you understand? You¡¯re still so young, don¡¯t live such a boring and meaningless life. You¡¯re only 17 years old, and you¡¯ve just started a small part of your life. There are still many things to experience in the future. Open your eyes, kid!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Li Zhen, her eyes slowly turning red. She had no way of explaining to her grandfather that she was not just 17 years old. She had already had two lives!


    Sometimes, Zhuang Xian felt that life was very dull. However, other than fulfilling her last wish in her previous life, Zhuang Xian had only found something new and exciting. However, that was not enough to shake the urgency and suppression of her desire for revenge.


    She also admitted that her actions today were a little too extreme. Her left arm didn¡¯t need to be dislocated. All of this was because she was crazy. When she rolled down with An Ye, she wanted An Ye to die!


    In the depths of her mind, a final voice was trying to maintain her view of good and evil. At least An Ye¡¯s crime did not warrant death!


    But when she was about to cross that line, Zhuang Xian felt good! Even the pain from her arm gave her the pleasure of revenge!


    When Zhuang Xian was clear-headed, she would feel that there was something wrong with her current state. It was as if she had gone crazy.


    In reality, other than Zhuang Xian, no one else could truly understand the tragic fate of being reborn and taking revenge. All of this was buried deep in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart. Perhaps she had not wholly gone crazy yet, but it was already a sign of her strong willpower.


    At the dinner table, Zhuang Xian did not answer Li Zhen¡¯s question. After dinner, the military residence was tranquil. The soldiers had a healthy routine and had all fallen asleep by now.


    A slender and graceful young girl sat alone on the edge of a basketball court in front of the residential area. The lights that shone all night were reflected on the ground, and Zhuang Xian could only see the shadows under the trees. Hearing the soft sound of the wind in her ears, she seemed to have something heavy on her mind, and her brows were tightly knitted together.


    Zhuang Xian was thinking about what her grandfather had just said and all the things she had done since her rebirth!

 Chapter 287 - 287 Chapter 287. Hes Here Again

    287 Chapter 287. He¡¯s Here Again


    In the short span of three years, Zhuang Xian had created countless identities and created many fake accounts for herself!


    She knew she had many enemies who were also very powerful and treacherous. Only by not relaxing at all times would she have a higher chance of winning.


    Her grandfather was right about one thing. Zhuang Xian had pushed herself to the limit. Ever since she was reborn, she had thought about revenge every moment and had never slacked off. She could get tired too!


    The wind on the basketball court started to blow, ruffling Zhuang Xian¡¯s long hair draped over her shoulders. She was thinking about many things, and a figure slowly emerged from her mind just as she was in a daze.


    ¡®Are you a Hedgehog?¡¯ he said to her.


    Zhuang Xian smiled faintly, a hint of gentleness appearing at the corners of her lips. However, before this brief smile disappeared, she heard a deep and warm voice coming from her right side. ¡°What are you thinking about alone? ¡±


    Mo Qian maneuvered his smart wheelchair and wobbled into Zhuang Xian¡¯s line of sight. When he saw the girl¡¯s bright and white right face, the smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face widened. He stopped three steps from Zhuang Xian and looked at the girl¡¯s dazed little face. Mo Qian laughed, and his eyes became gentle.


    ¡°Why are you looking so silly again? Isn¡¯t it worth being surprised or happy to see me like this? ¡±


    The light was directed in front of Zhuang Xian, and Mo Qian¡¯s body was covered in the moonlight.


    However, when Zhuang Xian looked at the gentle-looking man who always appeared out of the blue, she felt her heart heat up for some reason. She felt something brush across her face and subconsciously looked away. She tried to hide it, but it only made it more obvious. ¡°It¡¯s good enough that you didn¡¯t get a shock!¡±


    The young girl was too busy trying to keep her emotions and tears in check and did not realize that Mo Qian had already inched closer to her. When she saw the white handkerchief appearing in front of her, Zhuang Xian was stunned.


    ¡°Why are you sitting here alone and crying? I heard from Lei Cheng that you were very sharp-tongued when you confronted the school¡¯s people today.¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Qian¡¯s gentle complaint, Zhuang Xian reached out to take the man¡¯s handkerchief and said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m not sitting here and crying by myself.¡±


    Mo Qian laughed and tilted his head to look at the top of the girl¡¯s head. He asked tenderly, ¡°Oh? Then why did I see you wiping away your tears secretly? Did the An family let you suffer?¡±


    ¡®I¡¯m only crying because you¡¯re here.¡¯


    Zhuang Xian finished her sentence silently in her heart and threw the handkerchief back to Mo Qian. she turned around and scolded, ¡°How can you be so evil! Can¡¯t you comfort me? Do you have to be so annoying?¡±


    Mo Qian saw the girl¡¯s sudden display of power, and the pampering smile on his face had only risen halfway when the gauze froze him on the left side of the girl¡¯s face.


    Zhuang Xian had always been beautiful and sharp, and her exquisite face was one of her weapons. However, when Mo Qian saw that her originally beautiful face was suddenly covered with some unsightly injuries, his heart began to throb in pain.


    The white gauze clung to the girl¡¯s delicate side profile, making people feel pity for her. When it fell into Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, it was even more intense. ¡°You¡¯re injured?¡±


    After the endless heartache, a strange feeling emerged in Mo Qian¡¯s heart. At this moment, because of Zhuang Xian¡¯s weakness and innocence, she was even more beautiful than before! She was like a lovely little beast that had appeared under the moonlight. Because she was injured, she snuggled up in the forest alone and licked her wounds.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business if I get injured.¡±


    Mo Qian pretended to be angry when he heard the girl who made his heart ache.


    Mo Qian smiled helplessly and indulgently. He looked at Zhuang Xian and said softly and slowly, ¡°I was wrong. Turn around and let me see.¡±


    If Mo Qian were the second gentlemanly and the second gentlest man in the world, no one would dare to claim they were the first. Zhuang Xian subconsciously turned to look at him. Her eyes were slightly red from crying just now.


    Mo Qian lifted his slender, well-proportioned hand and held Zhuang Xian¡¯s left chin.


    The girl¡¯s face had turned cold from exposure to the wind for so long. When Mo Qian¡¯s warm hand touched her face, Zhuang Xian moved her chin uncomfortably.

 Chapter 288 - 288 Chapter 288. My Little Friend

    288 Chapter 288. My Little Friend


    Under the shade of the tree, Mo Qian gently lifted the girl¡¯s chin and saw the injuries on her face under the moonlight.


    The night was tranquil. The warm atmosphere between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian was heartwarming in such an intoxicating atmosphere. It was a beautiful and gentle scene.


    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were filled with pity as he said softly.


    Zhuang Xian slowly regained her senses. She turned her head and looked at the center of the basketball court, where the lights were gathered. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡±


    Initially, when the old man and Li Qin asked her, she said it didn¡¯t hurt, and Zhuang Xian felt something. However, when Mo Qian had asked her so gently, with his eyes full of pity and heartache, Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t take it anymore. The small wound behind the gauze started to hurt slightly, which was strange.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt? Then why did you cry when you saw me? Did you miss me too much, or are you too surprised?¡± Mo Qian pretended to smile and asked with a hint of reluctance.


    Zhuang Xian felt a slight sense of embarrassment. She lowered her head and allowed the night breeze to blow past her, gently lifting her hair. She remained silent for a long while but did not answer Mo Qian¡¯s question.


    Zhuang Xian did not know why she suddenly cried. She only felt that the moment she saw Mo Qian, some of the emotions in her heart seemed to have been reciprocated, and she felt a warm and firm feeling.


    ¡°I¡¯m supposed to treat your leg tomorrow. Why are you here now? It¡¯s so late; how did you get in?¡± Zhuang Xian tried her best to calm herself down. After a few minutes, she asked softly, ¡°From what you said just now, do you know instructor Lei Cheng? Did he let you in?¡±


    Mo Qian took his windbreaker from behind and carefully and gently put it on Zhuang Xian before he replied, ¡°Can¡¯t I come to see you in advance if I¡¯m not here to treat my injuries? When I heard the news of your injury this afternoon, I wanted to come over, but I was held back by something at the last minute, so I rushed to see you. Fortunately, you haven¡¯t rested!


    I¡¯m unfamiliar with Lei Cheng; we¡¯ve only met a few times.¡± As Mo Qian spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up into a slightly evil smile. He looked at Zhuang Xian and continued, ¡°I just told Lei Cheng that I came in to see our family¡¯s bullied child, and he was straightforward to talk to and directly let me in.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s voice was warm, as if he was trying to make Zhuang Xian happy.


    The effect was perfect.


    The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress turned her head and looked at Mo Qian, somewhat speechless and amused. She opened her mouth and said softly, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. If you don¡¯t know Lei Cheng well, would he be so at ease to let you wander around the military base?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her eyebrows and asked in a teasing tone, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I notice before that you, Mo Qian, are such a glib talker? Where¡¯s your boss¡¯s aura and unsympathetic character? You don¡¯t want it?¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Mo Qian was obvious that his relationship with Zhuang Xian was still in an ambiguous stage and that Zhuang Xian was still too young, he would have grabbed this cute yet detestable Zhuang Xian and pinched her little face hard. It would be best if he could use an exceptionally intimate contact to shut her slightly annoying little mouth and stop her from saying such depressing things.


    Zhuang Xian felt something was wrong with Mo Qian¡¯s gaze and slowly turned her head back.


    This damn old man, why is he always exuding such a sexy and gentle charm in front of me?


    Was he trying to tempt her, a ¡®minor¡¯, to commit a ¡®crime¡¯? Zhuang Xian complained in her heart. She was unable to resist President Mo¡¯s teasing and seduction. At her current ¡®age¡¯, she is not very suitable to date Mo Qian.


    If she had met Mo Qian at the same age as her previous life, Zhuang Xian might still have some thoughts that an adult should have toward him. But with the current situation? Let¡¯s forget it for now!


    ¡°Who said I¡¯m strolling? I have a clear goal; I was coming straight for you!¡±

 Chapter 289 - 289 Chapter 289. Begging For Mercy

    289 Chapter 289. Begging For Mercy


    ¡°In front of you, what kind of halo and character do I still have to speak of? I can¡¯t wait to dig out my heart and let you have a good look, so you know how true I am to you!¡± Mo Qian¡¯s tone of voice was slightly angry. The way he looked at Zhuang Xian was also filled with anxiety.


    After hearing Mo Qian¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian was speechless.


    Sure enough, some things can¡¯t stand being repeated. What I¡¯m afraid of will come true. I want to kneel and beg Mr. Mo to be less provocative! Zhuang Xian thought to herself.


    As Mo Qian spoke, he seemed to have noticed that his emotions were leaking out. After taking two deep breaths, he said slowly, ¡°Forget it; let¡¯s not talk about this now. It¡¯s getting late; don¡¯t you need to go back to sleep? Don¡¯t you have to go to the police station tomorrow to cooperate with the investigation?¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian turned around and glanced at Mo Qian. After a moment of silence, she replied, ¡°How do you know so much about me? What do you know?¡±


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, which had suddenly turned as calm as water, and the tranquil expression on his handsome face, Zhuang Xian already had an answer in her heart.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand. At least, I didn¡¯t know that you had such an injury. I also don¡¯t understand why you had to design such complicated military training!¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian silently and asked gently, ¡°What kind of grudge do you have against Ye Xin from the Ye group and Zhuang Jie from the Zhuang family that I don¡¯t know about? Why did you do all this? You collaborated with the old military chief, Li Zhen, to set up this military training. Are you trying to do something to them?¡±


    Mo Qian naturally did not know about the blood feud that Zhuang Xian had gone through in her previous life. Hence, he could not understand why Zhuang Xian would target the Ye group and Zhuang Jie like this!


    He didn¡¯t know much. Ever since he understood his feelings, he had tried to find out more about Zhuang Xian. Now, he was just curious why Zhuang Xian was doing all this.


    Mo Qian thought back to the information he had gotten Mo Xi to investigate Zhuang Xian. From his statement, Mo Qian did not find any connections or grudges between Zhuang Xian and these three people!


    If that was the case, then Zhuang Xian¡¯s recent actions were a little abnormal.


    If it was only because Zhuang Jie and An Ye had made things difficult for her and provoked her when Zhuang Xian first came to the Zhuang family, then it shouldn¡¯t have ended like this. Zhuang Xian shouldn¡¯t have been so ruthless and beat around the bush.


    Mo Qian felt that the reason behind all this was not as simple as that.


    However, he had no way of getting more information!


    The strangest thing about this was the matter between Zhuang Xian and Ye Xin. Was there anything between them that no one else knew about? Why did Ye Xin have to be involved in Zhuang Xian¡¯s plan?


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t seem like a vicious person who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance. With her personality, she would probably take revenge on the spot!


    Mo Qian couldn¡¯t figure out many things in between because the information he and Zhuang Xian knew wasn¡¯t equal, and Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t intend to tell him everything.


    So when Mo Qian asked this question, he had already fallen into some deadlock, stuck there.


    Zhuang Xian would not tell Mo Qian about her biggest secret. At the same time, she had no intention of lying to Mo Qian. She felt that there was no point in doing so!


    Zhuang Xian did not want to lie to someone who truly cared about her, so she avoided the topic. ¡°I don¡¯t care how much you know about this; it has nothing to do with you. It¡¯s my own business!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she slowly stood up. When she looked at Mo Qian, her eyes were filled with many emotions. ¡°I know you care so much about these things because you care about me, but I don¡¯t intend to tell you these things now. I also hope that you won¡¯t ask about me in the future! Thank you,¡±


    At this moment, Mo Qian felt that familiar feeling from Zhuang Xian again. Zhuang Xian had once again pushed him out of her heart.


    Mo Qian smiled bitterly, deliberately ignoring the throbbing pain in his heart. He explained, ¡°It¡¯s just a friend¡¯s concern and greeting; can¡¯t you accept that?¡±

 Chapter 290 - 290 Chapter 290. Mo Qians Bitterness

    290 Chapter 290. Mo Qian¡¯s Bitterness


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to tell me, I won¡¯t ask more in the future. However, I want you to know that I will always stand behind you and am willing to do anything for you!¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was still calm and composed, Mo Qian put on a slight smile and continued, ¡°By the way, don¡¯t I still owe you two wishes? I hope you don¡¯t forget! Also, I can¡¯t thank you enough for treating my leg. I¡¯ll be waiting for a chance to repay you several times.¡±


    Hearing this, the corners of Zhuang Xian¡¯s lips twitched slightly. She tried to suppress her emotions, but when she looked at Mo Qian again, her eyes were slightly red.


    She said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you need to do this for me. I treated your leg injury because I am willing to do it. It has nothing to do with who it was. I don¡¯t want you to do anything in return! You don¡¯t have to do this, and you don¡¯t have to be so good to me. I don¡¯t have anything worth you¡¯re doing this for me!¡±


    Mo Qian slowly furrowed his brows and asked in confusion, ¡°Why do you think so? Let¡¯s not talk about other things for the time being. Let¡¯s talk about my leg injury. This has been a difficult problem that has troubled our Mo family for many years. We have sought all the famous doctors worldwide, but there was no solution. Now that you have solved it, you should accept our family¡¯s gratitude! You said you¡¯re willing to do this, and it¡¯s your business. Then I also said that I want to repay you, which is my business! Do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡±


    Mo Qian asked as if he felt his explanation was unclear. He lowered his eyes and sighed deeply, then continued, ¡°Such a heavy favor; if it were given to Lan Ling or others, they would have already gone to heaven! Why don¡¯t you care at all when it comes to you? Why are you so different?


    You should know that I can satisfy any request you make of me now as long as you say the word!¡± Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile and said sincerely.


    After listening to Mo Qian¡¯s long speech, other than the anxiety and confusion she felt from the beginning, Zhuang Xian felt helpless and amused! Of course, the word ¡®funny¡¯ had no negative meaning. She just thought that it was exciting and fun!


    Have you ever seen someone like Mo Qian chasing after others to repay their kindness?


    The brain of a rich man like Mo Qian was different from that of ordinary people!


    Mo Qian wasn¡¯t the only one here who was acting strangely. She was the one who was constantly in a state of a dilemma!


    In front of Mo Qian, there were many times when Zhuang Xian felt she could not control herself completely. Her emotions and mood swings were closely related to Mo Qian. She was like a helpless boat drifting in the sea. With the ups and downs of the sea, the ship could not wholly control itself! Zhuang Xian was unable to remain completely calm and rational.


    Zhuang Xian was also very annoyed with her current state. She had not found a way to get along with Mo Qian in a happy way.


    Mo Qian saw that Zhuang Xian was only looking at him in a daze, and the expression on her face slowly changed from severe and sincere to doubtful. He said softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Am I not clear enough?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and retracted her gaze. She shook her head lightly and was about to say something to Mo Qian when she was interrupted by Lei Cheng, who walked over from behind Mo Qian.


    He said, ¡°I say, young master Mo, can you be more careful? Do you know what time it is? If you don¡¯t need to rest, Zhuang Xian is still injured, and her arm has just been reattached! Can you tell her to go back and rest? Are you still feeling sorry for a ¡®little kid¡¯? You don¡¯t even have any skills in chasing people!¡±


    Lei Cheng tactfully swallowed his last sentence, not daring to be too bold in front of Mo Qian. Although he and Mo Qian could be considered close, they were only friends who had reunited after a long time. To be able to make an exception and let Mo Qian in was already very loyal.


    Mo Qian was brilliant, and his reaction was first-class. He immediately received the essential information from Lei Cheng¡¯s words. He asked with some doubt, ¡°What do you mean by ¡®just reattached¡¯? What do you mean by that?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late; I¡¯ll head back first,¡± Zhuang Xian replied.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, wait a moment!¡±

 Chapter 291 - 291 Chapter 291. Angered to The Point of

    291 Chapter 291. Angered to The Point of


    Mo Qian spoke in a low voice and stopped Zhuang Xian from leaving. He looked at Lei Cheng and turned his wheelchair around. He looked at Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°What did Lei Cheng mean? What happened to your hand?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was silent. In Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, her feet seemed to have been weighed down by a thousand pounds, and she could not move at all.


    Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, Lei Cheng was somewhat puzzled. He hoped he had not said too much and caused a bad thing, right? Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t mention her arm injury to Mo Qian. The relationship between the two of them seemed somewhat ambiguous, but they didn¡¯t seem like a couple at all! It wasn¡¯t a very intimate feeling!


    Lei Cheng thought of the phone call Mo Qian gave him before he came over and looked at him with a strange expression.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine now. I¡¯m doing pretty well.¡± Zhuang Xian pretended to be calm and said. After tidying her hair that the wind had messed up, she politely nodded to Lei Cheng and continued, ¡°Instructor Lei, I¡¯ll leave you to your chat. I¡¯m a little tired and want to rest in my room. See you tomorrow!¡±


    After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Lei Cheng¡¯s reply and walked straight away from the two people. The young girl was wearing a dark camouflage Military training suit, and her movements were agile as she hid into the night.


    Lei Cheng looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s departing figure in a daze. The words he wanted to say to keep her disappeared when he turned around and saw Mo Qian¡¯s gloomy face.


    After gulping, Lei Cheng found his voice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you make her angry? You still didn¡¯t manage to coax her! Sigh, young girls are all like this, getting angry at the slightest thing; you can¡¯t even tell when you¡¯ll offend them!¡±


    Lei Cheng had not seen Mo Qian for a long time, so it was inevitable that he was a little talkative. He nagged as if he had not noticed Mo Qian¡¯s gloominess and haze.


    ¡°When I heard you on the phone today, I was still wondering! When did you, Mo Qian, start to like young college students? But when I heard you say it was Zhuang Xian, I could understand!¡± As Lei Cheng spoke, he slowly walked behind Mo Qian. After letting out a sigh of relief, he continued, ¡°A perfect match made in heaven. It¡¯s just how to describe the two of you. How beautiful will the children be if you two get married in the future? It is unimaginable! But Zhuang Xian is only 17 or 18 years old; your journey to court your wife will be long!¡±


    Lei Cheng was very straightforward; he said whatever he thought of, so he didn¡¯t care that his words made Mo Qian feel complicated and bitter.


    Mo Qian smiled wryly and raised his head slightly to look at him. He sighed and said, ¡°Are you done, Captain Lei? We haven¡¯t seen each other for long, but you¡¯re still so talkative!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s because we¡¯re friends. If it were someone else, I wouldn¡¯t even bother with them!¡± As Lei Cheng spoke, he looked at Mo Qian¡¯s leg with a complicated expression, ¡°You still know that we haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time? It had been almost half a year since we last met, right? I¡¯ve seen through your personality of not ¡®coming to the temple¡¯ without reason. When you¡¯re useful, we¡¯re friends. You don¡¯t even pay attention to us when you¡¯re not useful, right?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s expression was calm. He looked at the boundless night sky and said matter-of-factly, ¡°What else?¡±


    Lei Cheng looked at young master Mo¡¯s indifferent and fearless appearance and shook his head with a laugh. He raised his hand to hold the handle of the wheelchair and laughed, ¡°Alright, I know! In any case, I can¡¯t take advantage of you verbally.¡±


    Whether it was Mo Qian¡¯s previous high-spirited youth appearance or his calm appearance that had transformed into a butterfly in recent years, the aura on his body was always something that people yearned for!


    ¡°Tell me about Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand injury.¡±


    Lei Cheng¡¯s movements stopped, and he confusedly asked: ¡°She didn¡¯t tell you anything? Don¡¯t you like her? Why do I feel like she doesn¡¯t like you?¡±


    This was the second time the qi thunder had struck Mo Qian in this short period. He furrowed his brows slightly and said indifferently, ¡°You talk a lot.¡±


    When Lei Cheng heard Mo Qian¡¯s tone, he knew he was about to get angry, so he quickly said, ¡°Good, good, good! I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk! Zhuang Xian was having her military training on Blue Eagle Mountain this afternoon when An Ye attacked her. You know about this, right?¡±

 Chapter 292 - 292 Chapter 292. She Can Endure it

    292 Chapter 292. She Can Endure it


    ¡°An Ye dislocated her left arm when she rolled down the slope! The same goes for the cut on the left side of her face. I heard from the military doctor beside the old chief that there were a few bruises on her body! But fortunately, it wasn¡¯t too serious. An Ye was in a worse state than her!¡±


    Lei Cheng said slowly, not forgetting to push Mo Qian back.


    Mo Qian listened to him in silence, his tightly knitted brows filled with worry and heartache. However, Lei Cheng was walking behind him, and he could not see him. As for Zhuang Xian herself, she could not see him either.


    ¡°When I saw her just now, I didn¡¯t notice this problem. She acted as if she was normal.¡± Mo Qian said in a deep voice, feeling a little sad.


    Lei Cheng laughed lightly. ¡°It¡¯s normal that you can¡¯t tell. For someone as patient as Zhuang Xian, if she wanted to hide something, who would be able to know? She had reattached her arm! Speaking of which, I admire her. Look at her, she¡¯s so young, and she¡¯s already encountered such a thing. Not only is she not afraid, but she also has a clear mind and courage. She¡¯s outstanding!¡±


    Mo Qian automatically ignored the second half of Lei Cheng¡¯s words, where he praised her. Surprisedly, he frowned and asked, ¡°You¡¯re saying that she reattached her dislocated arm by herself?¡±


    Mo Qian paused and asked hoarsely, ¡°Were there no other doctors around?¡±


    Lei Cheng¡¯s hand movements stopped because of the massive fluctuation in Mo Qian¡¯s emotions.


    He looked at Mo Qian in front of him. There seemed to be many complicated and depressing things in this well-proportioned but not strong back. Lei Cheng opened his mouth and replied, ¡°Yeah, why else do you think I said those words of admiration?


    The situation at that time was still very urgent! No military doctor accompanied the first-year military training students in the mountains. However, as soon as the incident happened, their squad leader asked for help from the military training headquarters. We arrived on time, but Zhuang Xian had woken up early and treated her injuries!¡±


    As he listened to Lei Cheng¡¯s retelling of the events, the image of Zhuang Xian¡¯s determined and apathetic expression when she recovered herself appeared in Mo Qian¡¯s mind.


    He was silent for a long while before he chuckled helplessly. ¡°Then she¡¯s amazing! Have you investigated the matter? Are you sure it was An Ye who attacked her?¡±


    After listening to Mo Qian¡¯s question, Lei Cheng¡¯s intuition told him that Mo Qian¡¯s question was a little strange. Although he was a little confused and doubtful, he still answered Mo Qian¡¯s question. ¡°The nature of this matter has been confirmed. There are many witnesses, and the motive is detailed. Not only are her teammates fighting to testify for Zhuang Xian, but even their Squad monitor, Luo Fei, is firmly on Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. They all said they saw An Ye attack Zhuang Xian with their own eyes. This can¡¯t be fake!¡±


    After Lei Cheng had answered Mo Qian¡¯s question, he thought for a while and could not help but ask, ¡°Why does your tone sound so strange? What are you suspecting?¡±


    Naturally, Mo Qian could not tell Lei Cheng about his doubts. He had no intention of exposing Zhuang Xian, so he shook his head and replied softly, ¡°No, nothing,¡±


    He didn¡¯t know if he should feel bad for Zhuang Xian or blame her for not telling him about this. If Zhuang Xian had mentioned it, maybe he could have helped her!


    However, on second thought, he slowly returned to his senses and thought it might not be too late to make a move now! Zhuang Xian¡¯s enemies were also Mo Qian¡¯s enemies.


    On the way back, Mo Qian remained silent. Lei Cheng was unsure of this young master¡¯s thoughts, so he left directly after returning him to Mo Xi.


    Mo Xi looked at his young master¡¯s gloomy face and guessed that he had just parted on bad terms with the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress. After thinking about it, he did not dare to say anything more. He just came forward to grab the armrest of the wheelchair and pushed his young master back to the room that Captain Lei had arranged for them.


    If nothing goes wrong, the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter should come here tomorrow to give the young master acupuncture treatment!


    Mo Qian¡¯s silence and unhappiness made Mo Xi feel bad. He did not dare to criticize Zhuang Xian in front of the young master, but he thought that it was not worth it for the young master.

 Chapter 293 - 293 Chapter 293. Let The An Family Disappear

    293 Chapter 293. Let The An Family Disappear


    There was probably no man like their young master in City H. He could not understand why the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss was hesitating. Even someone like him, who knew nothing about relationships, was touched by the sincerity of their young master towards her!


    If their young master wanted to use force against the Zhuang family, it was not entirely impossible! With mo Qian¡¯s strength, wouldn¡¯t it be a piece of cake for him to get the adopted daughter from the Zhuang family?


    It was only because their young master was serious and upright regarding relationships, and he did not have the slightest bit of the filthy aura of the upper-class circle! But Zhuang Xian, why didn¡¯t she know how to respond and cherish him?


    Mo Xi thought of these things and sighed softly. He looked at his young master¡¯s side profile and softly suggested, ¡°Young master, why don¡¯t you rest early? You haven¡¯t had a good rest these days because of the company¡¯s affairs! Tomorrow¡­¡±


    Mo Qian slowly turned the ring on his finger. His deep eyes seemed to be brewing some dangerous monstrous wave!


    He said coldly, directly interrupting Mo Xi¡¯s unfinished words. ¡°Immediately inform the person in charge of the Group¡¯s business department and all the employees that I want all the projects in the An Corporation by dawn tomorrow.¡±


    Mo Xi was stunned and subconsciously asked, ¡°What?¡±


    Realizing his tone was wrong, Mo Xi quickly hid the surprise on his face. After calming down, he opened his mouth and asked tentatively, ¡°Young master, are you saying that you want all the projects that the An family company is working on? ¡±


    Mo Qian nodded his head calmly. ¡°Not only that, I want the entire An family to disappear from City H¡¯s business circle.¡±


    As he said this, he seemed to feel that he was making things difficult for them. After sighing, he took the initiative to give them more time. ¡°Of course, I will give them a week to complete the next order! Remember to pass down the order that when they do it, do it cleanly and don¡¯t leave any evidence behind.¡±


    Mo Xi took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and replied in a low voice, ¡°Yes, young master. I¡¯ll convey your orders in time.¡±


    ¡± Yes, let your colleagues know as well. it¡¯s done; I¡¯ll give everyone an extra red packet.¡± As Mo Qian spoke, he stretched out his hand and tiredly pinched the corner of his brows.


    When a person is in a bad mood, their body gets tired quickly.


    Seeing that his young master was tired, Mo Xi took a step forward and lifted his hand to help Mo Qian take off his suit jacket. He didn¡¯t forget to add, ¡°I¡¯ll help the young master to his bed first. I¡¯ll pass down the order when we finish here.¡±


    Mo Qian nodded slightly and gave a soft ¡®hmm¡¯. Then, as if recalling something, he loosened his tie and asked hoarsely, ¡°What did you want to say just now?¡±


    Mo Xi looked up at the young master. He had thought that the young master had not heard his nagging. Now it seemed that the young master had heard everything.


    He said, ¡°I wanted to say that when you and Captain Lei were not back, I met fourth Miss Zhuang downstairs in this dormitory building. She said she would come over early tomorrow morning to perform acupuncture on you. She wanted me to remind you to rest early tonight!¡±


    Seeing the young master suddenly turn his head to look at him, his eyes hiding some surprise, Mo Xi was a little scared.


    ¡°Did she say that? Is there anything else besides these?¡± Mo Qian¡¯s tone was slightly anxious as he looked up at Mo Xi?


    Mo Xi rarely saw his young master look at him with such a warm and excited gaze. He couldn¡¯t help but swallow and continued nervously, ¡°She didn¡¯t say anything else; she just returned your windbreaker!¡±


    Hearing this, Mo Qian slowly retracted his gaze. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°In Blue Eagle Base, there¡¯s quite a distance between the male and female dormitories. Did she deliberately take a detour to say this to you and a piece of clothing that can be directly brought over tomorrow?¡±


    Mo Xi didn¡¯t think about this problem. He shook his head and said bluntly, ¡°I don¡¯t know about that, but the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter looked quite relaxed then! However, when you came back with Captain Lei Cheng, I thought you two fought!¡±

 Chapter 294 - 294 Chapter 294. Two

    294 Chapter 294. Two-faced


    As Mo Xi spoke, he wrapped his arms around Mo Qian¡¯s waist and skillfully lifted him from the wheelchair, placing him on the soft bed beside him.


    Seeing that the young master did not seem to have any more instructions, Mo Xi bowed slightly and turned to leave.


    Mo Qian leaned on the edge of the bed and suddenly laughed for no reason. He looked at his legs covered by the quilt and thought of that fickle girl who said one thing and meant another. The smile at the corner of his mouth and the bottom of his eyes were slightly helpless and bitter.


    Zhuang Xian, who had returned to her room early, sat by the window with her phone in her hand. The moonlight shone through the window, and she sighed a few times. Her left arm was still slightly sore.


    It was not a light injury, after all. Zhuang Xian was not a superhuman with super self-healing abilities. She would feel pain but could not do it in front of outsiders!


    She seemed to have experienced a lot today, said many things, and listened to a lot of logic. However, the only thing Zhuang Xian could remember now was Mo Qian¡¯s slightly hurt and bitter gaze. He would probably feel that liking her was very tiring, right?


    As Zhuang Xian thought about it, she smiled wryly. If that were the case, it would be great!


    It would be even better if she could have a glass of wine in this atmosphere of being alone!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was running wild. After a while, she finally regained her senses and sighed softly. She held her phone and looked at Dr. Zhang¡¯s message.


    On it was the various indicators and results of An Ye¡¯s examination after she was sent to Ren Xin hospital. She had multiple fractures all over her body. Some of the more severe side injuries were rib fractures that scratched her thoracic membrane. There was blood accumulation in her cavity, and the inflammation was excruciating!


    The most severe injury was An Ye¡¯s waist injury. Dr. Zhang looked at the detailed medical information and assured Zhuang Xian that if nothing unexpected happened, An Ye would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair!


    The surgery was still in progress, but all the experienced doctors knew that An Ye¡¯s injury was beyond saving. Si Rong and the elite professional doctors were only doing their part.


    After going around in circles, An Ye¡¯s life and body were back in Si Rong and Dr. Zhang¡¯s control.


    A smile slowly formed on her lips as Zhuang Xian thought about Dr. Si¡¯s wise face. It was just so strange. No matter what she did, Mo Qian was always involved in it!


    Lei Cheng was Mo Qian¡¯s old friend, Si Rong was Mo Qian¡¯s friend, and the old man seemed to have some relationship with the Mo family. It looked like she couldn¡¯t cut off all ties with Mo Qian.


    Realizing that she was thinking of someone again, Zhuang Xian shook her head slightly and was a little speechless at her divergent thinking.


    She regained her focus and thought about the next step of her plan after An Ye woke up tomorrow.


    An Ye¡¯s fate had been decided. Even if she could get up from the hospital bed, she would first have to be interrogated and investigated by the police. The school would uphold justice for Zhuang Xian and exert pressure on the police and the An family. An Ye was in deep trouble, and there was no turning back.


    The pressure from all sides would press An Ye immensely for attempting to murder her classmate. An Ye had no way to refute it, and there was nothing to refute because this was what she wanted to do!


    Moreover, she had no mouth to argue with anymore. Zhuang Xian had taken away her only channel of speech. An Ye had become a mute, sinful, selfish, and cold sinner.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s intimidating aura would accompany her for the rest of her life, allowing her to slowly atone for what she had done in her previous life!


    As she thought about all this, Zhuang Xian slowly fell into a deep sleep under the endless night sky. She leaned against the window, her back against the comfortable chair, and fell asleep just like that.


    It was also because of this willful action that the next day when Zhuang Xian met the old man and Mo Qian in the cafeteria with a hoarse voice, she did not dare to look them in the eye.


    This feeling of guilt in front of Mo Qian came out of nowhere. Zhuang Xian felt that it was a little strange, but before she could get to the bottom, she was caught red-handed by her grandfather.


    ¡°Xian ¡®er! Come and sit with Grandpa; there¡¯s a seat here!¡± Li Zhen raised his head and his voice.


    Mo Qian sat beside Li Zhen and lifted his eyes slightly to look at Zhuang Xian. A gentle smile appeared on his face.

 Chapter 295 - 295 Chapter 295. Mo Qian And Her Grandfather

    295 Chapter 295. Mo Qian And Her Grandfather


    Knowing that there was no way she could escape this, Zhuang Xian let out a deep breath and walked over, pretending to be calm.


    Li Zhen pointed to the seat opposite him, which was the seat beside Mo Qian, and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Have a seat.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian slowly settled down in front of him, she sized Mo Qian up from the corner of her eyes. She had no idea that the old man and Mo Qian had such a close relationship that they could have breakfast together so early in the morning.


    ¡°You¡¯re only eating this little?¡± Li Zhen looked at the things on Zhuang Xian¡¯s plate and asked in disagreement.


    As he spoke, he handed the peeled egg to Zhuang Xian and continued, ¡°Eat this! Look how skinny you are; I won¡¯t allow you to lose weight like those little girls! Hurry up and eat!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the thing in the old man¡¯s hand and gritted her teeth helplessly. She raised her hand and took it.


    The smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face widened as he continued, ¡°Zhuang Xian is fine. She¡¯s not picky at all. You don¡¯t have to worry about her, old Mr. Li. ¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhen glanced at Zhuang Xian with his sharp eyes, then turned to Mo Qian and said with a faint smile, ¡°I only found out now that you and Xian ¡®er know each other! Are you two very close?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s action of biting the egg paused slightly. She glanced at Mo Qian without a change in expression, and there was a subtle warning in her eyes.


    Naturally, Mo Qian did not miss the signal that Zhuang Xian had given him. He chuckled and said gently, ¡°Because the Mo Corporation and Ming En have some cooperative relations, I¡¯ve also dealt with her a few times through Uncle Zhuang. Zhuang Xian¡¯s cooking skills are quite good, especially in making desserts.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian. His deep and beautiful Phoenix eyes were full of questions. He was asking Zhuang Xian if it was okay for him to say this!


    Zhuang Xian was so infuriated by Mo Qian¡¯s attitude and actions that she was speechless! How was Mo Qian taking my warning seriously? He¡¯s pretending to comply but disobeying in secret and using this as an excuse to make a fuss!


    ¡°Oh? Mo Qian, have you already tasted Xian ¡®er¡¯s cooking? It seems that you are quite familiar with each other!¡± Li Zhen asked in surprise.


    He looked at the two of them, who were making eyes at each other, and said, ¡°Xian ¡®er¡¯s cooking is indeed delicious. If you don¡¯t know critical people, you won¡¯t be able to eat them! I didn¡¯t believe you when you told me you were here to see Xian ¡®er. Hahaha! It seemed to be true this time! I¡¯m thrilled that Xian ¡®er has made ¡®new friends! ¡±


    Zhuang Xian was helpless when she heard the old man¡¯s words. She knew that her grandfather had already figured out something. She coughed lightly and motioned for him to eat quickly.


    But how could this old Imp, Li Zhen, let Zhuang Xian do as she wished? Not only did he not restrain himself, but he also went on to Mo Qian and started talking to him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t just come to see Zhuang Xian. I was apprehensive when I heard the news of her injury, so I rushed over! It¡¯s a good thing I¡¯m friends with the base¡¯s Lei Cheng; that¡¯s why I was able to come in. Otherwise, I would have to return empty-handed.¡±


    After Zhuang Xian heard the man¡¯s pretentious and deliberate words, she turned her head to look at him helplessly. She cleared her throat and tried to stop the man.


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s flustered and exasperated expression, he knew she was already very dissatisfied with his words and actions. She probably didn¡¯t want the people closest to her to see that he was trying to woo her!


    After a faint bitter smile, Mo Qian turned back to look at Li Zhen. ¡°The most important reason is still because of my leg injury.¡±


    Hearing this, Li Zhen subconsciously lowered his eyes and sized up the wheelchair Mo Qian was in. His broad and gentle eyes showed a faint trace of regret and pity.


    Mo Qian, the only son of the mo family, had grown up with the expectations and admiration of countless people. He was highly talented and intelligent. He had always been synonymous with the best!


    However, who would have thought that the world was so fickle, or perhaps the heavens were jealous of the talented, that such a peerless genius had to suffer such inhuman pain!


    Fate is unfair!


    Li Zhen sighed softly and secretly put away his regrets. He gently echoed, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Could it be that Xian ¡®er had such abilities? Although she has some medical skills, can she treat your leg? This has been a big problem that has troubled your Mo family for many years!¡±

 Chapter 296 - 296 Chapter 296. Protecting The Secret

    296 Chapter 296. Protecting The Secret


    Mo Qian nodded his head lightly. His handsome face was still as calm and composed as ever. He felt warm towards Li Zhen¡¯s concern and friendly greetings as an elder!


    The Mo family was a hundred-year-old aristocratic family in City H. Their deep roots and vast connections were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Grandma Mo and old man Li Zhen had known each other for a long time. These two super aristocratic families in City H had always connected.


    Therefore, Li Zhen looked at Mo Qian as if he was looking at a junior. He was naturally familiar with and close to him.


    However, if one were to compare Mo Qian to Zhuang Xian, Li Zhen would probably still choose his beloved little rascal of a granddaughter, Zhuang Xian.


    Mo Qian¡¯s previous words seemed very polite on the surface and even a little distant. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find many different things.


    Mo Qian was quite a sweet talker. He concealed his closeness with Zhuang Xian and changed it to a collaboration between two companies. That was why they were so close. It was also related to the fact that Zhuang Xian had treated his leg!


    Mo Qian¡¯s seemingly subtle and considerate actions were nothing like that in the eyes of the intelligent Li Zhen.


    His pair of wise eyes seemed to have seen through many things, and the gaze he gave Mo Qian was more scrutinizing and exciting! He thought to himself; Mo Qian is an excellent child. They would be a good match if he were to be paired with Zhuang Xian! However, Xian ¡®er had yet to react. Mo Qian would probably have to wait for a long time.


    Li Zhen thought of something, and his mouth¡¯s corners slowly curled into a smile.


    Naturally, Mo Qian did not know that Li Zhen had already thought of so many things in such a short time. He nodded slightly, smiled warmly and respectfully, then slowly replied, ¡°Zhuang Xian may not have such abilities, but she knows the green-robed apothecary from Saint Valley Medicine.¡±


    ¡°Saint Valley Medicine has always been mysterious and reclusive. Our family had spent a lot of effort and money, but we still couldn¡¯t find the way. But fortunately, the heavens let me meet Zhuang Xian, which also means that I have indirectly met my Savior, Qing Yi! Now that Zhuang Xian is in the middle to help with the medicine master in green, I hope my legs will be treated!¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian¡¯s lowered face. There seemed to be a dark light hidden in his eyes. That was his little secret with Zhuang Xian.


    He had promised Zhuang Xian that he would never reveal anything to anyone. He had promised to help Zhuang Xian protect the secrets she didn¡¯t want others to know.


    From Li Zhen¡¯s attitude and words, Mo Qian could tell that old man Li did not seem to know that Zhuang Xian was the green-robed apothecary of Saint Valley Medicine.


    Hence, covering up for Zhuang Xian was Mo Qian¡¯s only job!


    That¡¯s right; Mo Qian knew that Zhuang Xian was Qing Yi. He had only been playing along with Zhuang Xian¡¯s act. Since Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want Mo Qian to know about this, he had no choice but to keep it a secret! This man¡¯s gentlemanly and meticulous nature in many aspects was something that even Zhuang Xian could not fully understand.


    Even if this was a fact that the two of them had never revealed, in Mo Qian¡¯s heart, it was also a secret that he had to protect Zhuang Xian!


    Li Zhen¡¯s brows furrowed in confusion. He looked at Zhuang Xian with a deep frown, then turned to Mo Qian and asked, ¡°So, you came to the military training base to find a doctor? And this doctor is Zhuang Xian?¡±


    Mo Qian nodded his head lightly and smiled bitterly. ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandpa Li. I didn¡¯t lie to you just now!¡±


    As he said this, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who had been silent since she sat down. He said gently, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Zhuang Xian! Am I right, Zhuang Xian?¡±


    Zhuang Xian, ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡®I have to thank you, young master Mo! I¡¯m trying my best to avoid speaking, but you want me to answer the question when you open your mouth!¡¯


    Zhuang Xian could feel her grandfather¡¯s and Mo Qian¡¯s gazes on her face simultaneously. She cleared her throat and nodded.


    Mo Qian seemed to have finally noticed that something was wrong. He frowned and confusedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡±

 Chapter 297 - 297 Chapter 297. Discerning The Tiniest Detail

    297 Chapter 297. Discerning The Tiniest Detail


    ¡°You haven¡¯t said anything since you sat down, and you don¡¯t look perfect! Are you feeling uncomfortable?¡± Mo Qian asked worriedly.


    Zhuang Xian was taken aback, and a sense of helplessness rose in her heart. She raised her eyes and glared at Mo Qian.


    Li Zhen looked at his granddaughter¡¯s strange expression and then at Mo Qian¡¯s worried face. He also said strangely, ¡°Yes, Mo Qian is right! Xian ¡®er, you haven¡¯t said anything since. You only nodded when we asked you. What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze and sighed helplessly. With a hoarse voice, she said with difficulty, ¡°I caught a cold when I slept last night. My throat hurts, so I don¡¯t want to talk.¡±


    Hearing this, Mo Qian sighed softly and looked at Zhuang Xian with a helpless and pampering expression. He said warmly, ¡°So what if you¡¯re sick? Why are you still trying to hide it in front of us? What are you going to do if we don¡¯t find out? You want to brush it off?¡±


    As he spoke, he gestured for Mo Xi to come closer. After giving him a few instructions, he turned to Zhuang Xian and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve asked Mo Xi to get the doctor to take a good look at you! This season¡¯s temperature difference between morning and night is quite wide, and you¡¯ll catch a cold easily if you¡¯re not careful. Did you not cover yourself with a blanket when you slept last night?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s tone of voice was very gentle as if the person in front of him was the most precious and only treasure in his life. Other than giving ongoing care, there was no way or means to express love.


    On the other hand, Li Zhen quickly recovered from the unique atmosphere between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian, where no one else could easily interfere. His eyes were smiling as if he was delighted with Mo Qian¡¯s care and concern for Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian had a stubborn personality. There were times when she would not listen to the advice of others. She needed a gentle and tolerant other half, and Mo Qian was such a person. He had far exceeded Li Zhen¡¯s expectations of Zhuang Xian¡¯s future husband.


    Mo Qian should be a few years older than Li Qin. He should be 26 years old this year. In the business circle, this age was considered very young. Many people who were still studying hard in school were not this old. Mo Qian was already a successful business tycoon of his generation with a reputation.


    Mo Qian¡¯s excellence was evident to all.


    Li Zhen was pleased to see the current situation. He thought that the most apparent barrier between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian was the age gap of nearly ten years. If Mo Qian liked Zhuang Xian, he would have no real problem waiting for her for two years.


    Li Zhen wasn¡¯t an old-fashioned man. He only wanted Zhuang Xian to be happy in the future. As for the age gap, it wasn¡¯t a big issue. He was willing to believe that Mo Qian was a very responsible and considerate man.


    As Li Zhen thought about this, his mouth did not stop moving. He echoed Mo Qian¡¯s words and looked sternly at Zhuang Xian, ¡°Is there a need to say this? She must have been afraid of being scolded, so she was trying to fool us! You¡¯re just brushing us off!¡±


    Li Zhen glared at Zhuang Xian disapprovingly. ¡°Grandfather will have to reprimand you for your behavior! How could you not tell your family that you are sick? How long can you hold on by yourself?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m a doctor myself; I¡¯ll be fine, Grandpa! It¡¯s just a sore throat. It¡¯ll be fine after some hot water and good sleep. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Zhuang Xian was a little helpless. She raised her head to look at Mo Qian, then at Li Zhen, and retorted in a hoarse voice.


    ¡°If it¡¯s not a big deal, what are you feeling guilty about? Why are you so afraid that Mo Qian and I will see through you?¡± How could Li Zhen not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts? When he heard this, he immediately asked back. He could no longer suppress the temperament of an old urchin.


    Zhuang Xian, ¡°¡­¡±


    She wanted to retort and say that she wasn¡¯t feeling guilty. She wasn¡¯t feeling guilty! However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the credibility was not very high, so she gave up and sighed slightly, no longer saying anything!


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face. She looked like she wanted to say something but was unable to resist. He shook his head in amusement.

 Chapter 298 - 298 Chapter 298. She is Sick

    298 Chapter 298. She is Sick


    Mo Qian¡¯s placing his hand on Zhuang Xian¡¯s forehead seemed natural and appropriate. His eyes were filled with gentleness and affection.


    Zhuang Xian was a little shocked by Mo Qian¡¯s action. After a brief pause, she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Mo Qian. Her big eyes were filled with confusion and questions!


    What was this man trying to do? The old man was still sitting opposite them, staring at them like a tiger watching its prey! Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind started to spin. She couldn¡¯t understand what Mo Qian was trying to do!


    ¡°Her body temperature is right, and it doesn¡¯t burn to the touch. I don¡¯t think she¡¯s feverish.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he turned back to look at Mo Xi and the doctor beside him, who was still a few steps away and walking over. He ordered very naturally, ¡°Take her temperature first. She probably just caught a cold and has tonsils inflammation.¡±


    Hearing this, the doctor walked past Mo Xi and put down the first aid kit. Then, he began to examine Zhuang Xian.


    The bewildered and helpless famous Saint Valley pharmacist, Qing Yi, was taken care of by her patient Mo Qian and grandfather Li Zhen. She had to do whatever they asked her to do!


    After five minutes, the military doctor finally let Zhuang Xian off.


    ¡°This student doesn¡¯t have a fever, nor is it a cold. It¡¯s just a little inflammation of the tonsils. She¡¯ll be fine after drinking more hot water, taking some anti-inflammatory medicine, and resting more.¡±


    As the military doctor spoke, he prescribed for Zhuang Xian and handed it to Mo Qian beside him. ¡°The temperature difference between morning and night has been quite wide recently. Make sure the patient keeps warm and doesn¡¯t catch a cold again! She doesn¡¯t look perfect. You can find a Chinese medicine doctor to care for her if you have time. Pay more attention to maintaining a good mood!¡±


    Mo Qian nodded politely. After taking note of it, he replied, ¡°Alright! I understand, doctor. Thank you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve already seen a few soldiers who caught a cold today. They¡¯re all just a slight cold caused by the change of season! Remember to take the prescription list to the pharmacy to get the medicine later!¡± as the doctor spoke, he also reminded him to get the medicine. Then, he picked up the medicine box and left.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the doctor Who was leaving and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I told you I¡¯m fine. You¡¯re the one making a fuss.¡±


    Li Zhen glanced at Zhuang Xian indifferently. Although he did not say it out loud, he complained in his heart, ¡®You only dare to insult me! You didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly with Mo Qian.¡¯


    Mo Qian handed the list of herbs to Mo Xi and motioned him to go to the pharmacy to get the herbs. When he turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian, he advised her softly, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t speak with that voice of yours! Didn¡¯t you hear the doctor? He told you to rest more and talk less!¡±


    ¡°Not only that, but he also asked you to find a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor to prescribe a prescription for your body!¡± Li Zhen replied directly, ¡°You¡¯re so young. Why do they want you to see a Chinese doctor? It¡¯s because you don¡¯t care about your health at all! The way I see it, it¡¯s time to find someone to discipline you so that you don¡¯t always cherish your body and abuse it just because you¡¯re young!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to the old man¡¯s long-winded words, she frowned helplessly. After clearing her throat, she retorted hoarsely, ¡°I¡¯m a doctor myself; I know what I¡¯m doing, old man. I¡¯m fine.¡±


    However, in the next second, Zhuang Xian was interrupted as she looked at the steaming cup of water that was brought to her.


    Mo Qian raised his arm and looked at Zhuang Xian. ¡°Many times, doctors can¡¯t treat themselves! Come, have some hot water to warm your throat.¡±


    Zhuang Xian gulped and subconsciously reached out to take the warm cup. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Mo Qian for a long time before lowering them again. She felt a little guilty but obediently lowered her head and drank the water.


    The sun outside the canteen should be hot, but it was not as comforting and heartwarming as the warm water that slid down her dry and painful throat.


    Li Zhen looked at the natural and harmonious atmosphere between them and smiled. His heart was as clear as a mirror. He cleared his throat and slowly stood up. ¡°Aiya, I¡¯ve already finished eating. You two enjoy your meal; I still have something to do with Lei Cheng!¡±

 Chapter 299 - 299 Chapter 299. Peaceful Years

    299 Chapter 299. Peaceful Years


    ¡°Oh, by the way, if the police come again, I¡¯ll take care of them. Xian ¡®er, you don¡¯t have to worry!¡±


    As Li Zhen spoke, he lifted his chin and pointed at Mo Qian. A mischievous smile that was not easily noticed flashed across his eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t Mo Qian looking for you for something? His leg injury is more important. You can put other things aside and focus on this first!¡±


    After saying this with a faint smile, Li Zhen did not care about Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression anymore. He walked out of the cafeteria with his hands behind his back, his back looking relaxed and at ease.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her grandfather¡¯s back as he left. She felt a sense of helplessness in her heart. She had a feeling that the old man must have found out something.


    Thinking about the old man¡¯s personality, Zhuang Xian sighed softly. Her intuition told her that her future days would not be too peaceful!


    What the old man said was not entirely wrong. At least he said that mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was more important, and that was the truth.


    Zhuang Xian also knew that this matter was of utmost importance, so she did not dare to be careless or delay. After leaving the cafeteria with Mo Qian, she looked at the sunlight that scattered on the ground and said, ¡°I¡¯m going back to the dormitory to get something. You go back to your room and wait. I¡¯ll be there soon.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian, who looked even more beautiful under the sun, and said gently, ¡°If you need anything, tell me, and I¡¯ll get someone to get it! It¡¯s quite far from the female dormitory. You¡¯ve caught a cold, so don¡¯t run around in the wind!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian turned around and glanced at Mo Qian. She did not know if she was being too sensitive, but when she heard Mo Qian say, ¡®This place is quite far from the female dormitory¡¯, she felt his tone was a little strange!


    It was natural for the best that she did not have to run back and forth. After telling one of Mo Qian¡¯s female assistants what she needed to bring over, Zhuang Xian let out a sigh of relief and asked Mo Qian, ¡°Did you do what I told Mo Xi last time?¡±


    Mo Qian was slightly taken aback. Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face, he subconsciously asked, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him and slowly raised her eyebrows. There was an evil look in her eyes.


    Mo Qian¡¯s intuition told him that this was not a good sign. He coughed unnaturally before saying, ¡°I¡¯ll naturally do as you¡¯ve instructed. I¡¯ve also had a good sleep and rest. Don¡¯t worry.


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian looked at him suspiciously. She walked to the back of the wheelchair and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°It¡¯s best.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s action of supporting Mo Qian¡¯s wheelchair was highly natural. She pushed this specially made wheelchair slightly hard and walked down the path filled with sunlight with Mo Qian.


    Perhaps Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t feel anything special, but as the other party was involved, Mo Qian¡¯s handsome face was already full of smiles as he faced the warm rays of the rising sun. This was the first time Zhuang Xian had pushed his wheelchair for him!


    It can be lovely and happy when you like someone. You can enjoy the feeling of wanting her and feeling her beauty, as well as the changes in her every minute. Your heart will be filled to the brim with her!


    Of course, this could also be an excruciating thing! When you can¡¯t get her positive feedback, all the chaos, entanglement, and depression are yours alone.


    And these were all Mo Qian¡¯s feelings toward Zhuang Xian.


    Therefore, even if Zhuang Xian had a slight change in her body or did something special for him, Mo Qian would still sense it and feel very happy!


    Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian began to talk about some ordinary matters. Zhuang Xian listened quietly and occasionally responded briefly with her extremely hoarse voice.


    Today¡¯s time seemed incredibly long and leisurely. The sun shone on Mo Qian¡¯s face, and Zhuang Xian was slightly stunned.


    This was not the first time Zhuang Xian had experienced such a peaceful and relaxed life and atmosphere from Mo Qian!


    Mo Qian seemed to have some unique ability. He could easily manipulate Zhuang Xian¡¯s emotions.


    However, the happiness in the world couldn¡¯t be copied or connected.


    Just as Zhuang Xian was slowly pushing Mo Qian towards the dormitory building in the city area of City H outside of Blue Eagle base, there was explosive economic news that shocked the entire business circle of City H!

 Chapter 300 - 300 Chapter 300. The An Family

    300 Chapter 300. The An Family


    The An corporation¡¯s stocks had suddenly collapsed this morning!


    One stone caused a thousand ripples, and the business circle of City H immediately exploded. This kind of sudden appearance quickly aroused everyone¡¯s curiosity.


    Everyone was guessing what the reason was for the hundreds of millions of assets of the An family to vanish from the face of the earth!


    Some people said that the An family was targeted by a billionaire who bought all the shares with considerable money! Others noted that the An family had offended some mysterious figure who had found many experts who could play with the stock market and directly destroyed the An family¡¯s business blueprint!


    It was not the worst of it was just economic news and gossip. Mo Qian¡¯s blow to the An Corporation was fatal. Not only did he want the An Corporation to go bankrupt and become penniless, but he also wanted to destroy the An couple and An Ye¡¯s reputation!


    Seven o ¡®clock in the morning, An Corporation.


    In the messy writing area, almost all the employees were busy packing their things or holding their resignation letters with surprise and uneasiness on their faces. They paced back and forth in front of An Chuan¡¯s office!


    From the office¡¯s glass door that wasn¡¯t completely closed, An Chuan¡¯s angry and manic voice came out, ¡°I¡¯ve already said it a few hundred times! I didn¡¯t break the law! All my company¡¯s business and assets were earned with my life and blood! Alright! You guys check it! Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you? I¡¯ll wait!¡±


    An Chuan hung up the countless calls that he had made today. The various industrial and commercial departments and economic news media in City Hall swarmed toward him. All kinds of interrogations, accusations, and even curses made Yaskawa breathless!


    This feeling was like that of a lowly and incompetent creature whose Mingmen was being tightly clenched by a giant hand. It could not struggle, nor could it ask for help! And he, An Chuan, and the entire An clan was that lowly and incompetent creature.


    In fact, up until now, An Chuan still didn¡¯t know who the An family had offended to cause the current situation.


    Half an hour ago, all the major economic news agencies in City H had reported about the financial scandals and various illegal emergencies of the An Corporation.


    An Chuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He collapsed on the chair behind him and raised his hand to press down on the corner of his eyebrows in pain. However, the office phone had not rested for more than two seconds before another call came in.


    An Chuan reached out and picked up the phone, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the other party¡¯s long sentence!


    ¡°You¡¯re in charge of the An Corporation, An Chuan, right? I¡¯m the president of City H¡¯s central bank, and I¡¯m here to deal with all the negative public opinion that has been spreading this morning and the stock market¡¯s plunge and interception! As the president of my bank, I¡¯d like to solemnly inform you that in two hours, which is 10 O ¡®clock this morning, our bank will send someone to clear all the assets of the An Corporation under your name! Please stay in the company and cooperate! Otherwise, we will seek the assistance of the police according to the law and directly seal off your company! Do you understand?¡±


    An Chuan heard the bank president¡¯s words. The veins on his hand that was holding the phone began to bulge. The anger in his heart was burning, slowly spreading to his brain.


    An Chuan, who had lost most of his rationality, roared into the phone, ¡°What do I need to understand? I don¡¯t understand anything! Who did I offend? The other party let you guys come over here to mess with me!


    You guys did a great job with your moves! Why? If I don¡¯t cooperate with you, will you bring the police to arrest me? I¡¯m telling you, I¡¯m not one to be scared! So what if you got the police? If you force me, I¡¯ll jump down from the 13th floor! I¡¯ll let you all have my life!¡±


    After An Chuan finished speaking angrily, his chest began to heave violently. After taking a few deep breaths, he heard the rational and cold words from the other side of the phone. ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to threaten me like this. Our bank is only following the relevant laws and procedures, and we¡¯re just asking you to pay your debts to the bank. We don¡¯t have anything to do with you!¡±

 Chapter 301 - 301 Chapter 301. The Big Picture Has Been Lost

    301 Chapter 301. The Big Picture Has Been Lost


    ¡°Of course, if you want to say that, we can¡¯t do anything about it. But whatever happens after that will be left to the police and my lawyer to handle! This should be the most unfriendly situation, so to prevent it from happening, I remind you to cooperate with us! That¡¯s all I have to say; I hope you can understand!


    Finally, for the sake of President An being a long-time customer, I¡¯d like to give you a piece of advice. Only a wise man can adapt to the current situation. The An Corporation is already doomed, so you must be prepared for the worst!¡±


    An Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the cold but slightly mocking voice on the other end of the phone. He quickly recovered and asked, ¡°What do you mean by that? Do you know something? Do you know that someone is messing with me? Who is he?¡±


    When the bank manager heard this, he laughed lightly in ridicule. His business-like tone had already disappeared, and what was left was only a calm perfunctory tone. That can¡¯t be considered as the other party intends to kill you all! Moreover, he had such strength! ¡± An Chuan, oh An Chuan, you¡¯ve been in the business world for many years. I thought you were a brilliant person! But now, you¡¯re so stupid that no medicine can cure you!


    Say, why did your family provoke such a figure for no reason? He could crush you with a finger. An ant and a giant tree, can you understand the difference between you and them now that I¡¯ve described it this way?


    In life, the more capable you are, the bigger the bowl of rice you should eat. Don¡¯t always think about those benefits you can get without working; No one is a fool! Do you believe you can fly up the branch and become a phoenix by relying on your family¡¯s precious daughter¡¯s face and methods? It was ridiculous! Be reasonable in your next life, and don¡¯t indulge in whimsical fantasies!¡±


    An Chuan and the President of the Central Bank had many dealings. If they were to be considered, they could indeed be considered ¡®old friends.


    The branch manager usually didn¡¯t reveal his true identity, but in his heart, he understood the entire An clan.


    Many people had impure thoughts and always thought of reaping without sowing. They dreamed of climbing up other people¡¯s branches and being above everyone else overnight. They had no strong points, only some underhanded tricks that could not be used in public.


    And the people from the An family were the role models of this kind of people! It was no wonder that everyone was pushing a man who was down.


    At this moment, An Chuan was like a rat on the street. He had collapsed on his chair in defeat. He did not even know when the person opposite him hung up the phone. His pale and dazed face was filled with despair and silence!


    When Mrs. An pushed open the door to An Chuan¡¯s office, her hair and makeup were in a mess. She panted heavily, and tears rose in her eyes when she saw An Chuan.


    She walked up unsteadily and said to An Chuan in a hoarse voice, ¡°Hubby! Please think of a way to save Ye! As soon as she woke up, she was detained in the ward by a few police officers!


    The police said An Ye is a principal suspect for intentional assault and must be interrogated by the police! Besides the doctor, no one in our family can enter the ward! Wuwuwu! Ye had just woken up from such a severe injury yesterday, and now she was locked in her room by that unreasonable police! My poor daughter!¡±


    As Mrs. An spoke, she tugged at An Chuan¡¯s sleeve. Snot and tears were streaming down her face, making her look incomparably wretched and ugly!


    Hearing this, An Chuan¡¯s eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, ¡°What did you say? The patient suffered a serious injury, yet the other party was inhumane. Are they going to force the An family to their deaths? Oh heavens, what have we done to deserve this punishment?¡±


    Mrs. An saw that her husband was also crying so sadly and despairingly. She sobbed and looked at An Chuan with a strange expression. ¡°Why are you crying, hubby? I¡¯m asking you to quickly think of a way to save our daughter from those people! I have raised Ye since she was a child. She¡¯s of noble birth; when has she ever suffered like this?¡±


    As she spoke, tears gushed again, and her lower limbs lost strength and fell directly to the ground.

 Chapter 302 - 302 Chapter 302. Ridiculous Family

    302 Chapter 302. Ridiculous Family


    The anxious An Chuan saw her actions, and his inexplicable irritation and anger surged. He wanted to yell at the woman on the ground to reduce some of the endless depression and sadness in his chest!


    However, even after he found out, he could only let out a long sigh in the end, as if all his hopes had been dashed. He muttered to himself in a low voice, ¡°You want me to save her? Then who can come and save me? Can you save my family business and save my life? Why must the heavens treat me like this? Am I destined to be a failure?


    You said you taught An Ye very well!¡± An Chuan chuckled sarcastically, but the smile on his face was uglier than crying. ¡°Has she ever contributed to the An family? Did the foxy methods you taught her help her hook up with any rich young master?


    The Zhuang family¡¯s Zhuang Jie is a good stepping stone, but she¡¯s never been able to use her to win over anyone! She was even toyed with by that adopted daughter of the Zhuang family repeatedly, bringing a lot of trouble to our family! This time, she failed to punish others and even caused herself to suffer such a severe injury! She was even more foolish! Right now, she did not bring me any benefits and even provoked the Zhuang family!¡±


    As An Chuan spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that he had seen through today¡¯s matter. The An Corporation was stuck in the mud and even attacked by everyone because An Ye had offended the Zhuang family!


    He figured out the truth and stood up from his office chair excitedly. He said excitedly, ¡°I know who¡¯s trying to harm me! It is Zhuang Ming! It is Lin En! It¡¯s the Zhuang family who is taking revenge on our family! I understand now, I understand!¡±


    As An Chuan spoke, he tried to bypass the woman on the floor and walk out of the office! His expression was dull, but his eyes flashed with unusual excitement and madness. His entire person looked extremely abnormal!


    Mrs. An looked at the strange An Chuan and wanted to hold him back, but she had cried enough today and had no strength left. Her hand slipped, and An Chuan¡¯s arm fell. Instead, she hugged the man¡¯s thigh.


    Therefore, when the reporters and media who had been blocking the entrance of An Chuan¡¯s office rushed in despite the attempts of An Chuan¡¯s Secretary and subordinates, they were greeted with this comical and ugly scene.


    The usually snobbish and arrogant wife of the An Corporation¡¯s President was now in a very pathetic and ridiculous position, hugging her husband¡¯s thigh. Her face was contorted with tears like a ghost, and her mouth was wailing and shouting something!


    As for the famous leader of the An family, An Chuan, he was also in a state that was neither human nor ghost. His eyes were red as if they had been dyed with blood, and his face was filled with anger, unwillingness, and madness.


    He originally wanted to stretch out his leg and shake off his wife, but when he saw the people who suddenly rushed in, he shouted in confusion and anger, ¡°Who let you in! Get out; you¡¯re not welcome here! Get out! Otherwise, I¡¯ll call the police!¡±


    These reporters naturally did not care about An Chuan¡¯s scolding and threats. They were hoping that An Chuan would be hysterical and crazy!


    This way, they would be able to report their findings. The fall of the An Corporation and An Chuan¡¯s madness was enough to support their news for a few days.


    Therefore, not only did the reporters not retreat, but they also raised their microphones and cameras and began interviewing one after another. The flashes and black cameras seemed to want to swallow An Chuan and the woman under his feet!


    ¡°President An! We have a few questions regarding your company¡¯s stock market crash and cash flow issues today. Could you please answer us?¡±


    ¡°President An! We want to ask you if a large amount of negative news about the An family that has been released in the outside world is true. Do you have anything to say about this?¡±


    ¡°Just half an hour ago, your daughter, An Ye, was arrested by the police in a ward at Ren Xin hospital! May I ask what crime she committed? Is there a need to contact your company?¡±

 Chapter 303 - 303 Chapter 303. The Heavens Have Changed

    303 Chapter 303. The Heavens Have Changed


    ¡°President An, do you have any thoughts on the heavy blow the An Corporation has suffered this time? Or rather, what¡¯s your plan?¡±


    ¡°An Chuan! Please answer our questions! Please explain everything to the shareholders who have bought the An Corporation¡¯s shares! How can you let everyone down?¡±


    An Chuan¡¯s arrogance seemed to have been temporarily suppressed by the reporters¡¯ long guns, short cannons, and a series of life-threatening questions. He took a small step back and was immediately blocked by the reporters in the room!


    Mrs. An, who had been sitting on the ground, was utterly shocked by the scene. She subconsciously wanted to cover her face with her hands!


    However, she didn¡¯t know that it was all in vain. Her and An Chuan¡¯s unsightly state had long been recorded and saved by the cameras in front of them. There was even a live broadcast of the scene, which immediately captured the embarrassment and absurdity.


    The female Secretary and the few remaining staff members saw the scene in front of them, and their hands that were trying to stop the reporters completely stopped. They had no way to prevent these wolf-like reporters!


    These people were like wild beasts that had caught the scent of blood. Once they saw someone, they would not let them go quickly.


    The Secretary¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, and her heart had turned cold.


    The An clan¡¯s power was gone!


    In the quiet and peaceful Blue Eagle Base, other than Mo Qian, controlling everything from behind the scenes, and Mo Xi, no one else could know about this so quickly.


    City H¡¯s weather was about to change.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the sky outside the window. A few dark clouds blocked the sun. She raised her eyebrows strangely and thought, wasn¡¯t the sky clear just a moment ago? Why did the weather change so suddenly?


    Mo Qian, who had changed into a white bathrobe, saw this scene when he was pushed out of the bathroom by Mo Xi.


    He turned his head and looked out of the window. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he asked softly, ¡°What are you looking at? You¡¯re so engrossed in it.¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and retracted her gaze. She raised her hand and motioned for Mo Xi to move Mo Qian to the bed. After shaking her head, she said hoarsely, ¡°You can¡¯t talk when I¡¯m applying the needles.¡±


    Mo Xi obediently carried the young master out of the wheelchair and carefully tidied up the bathrobe hem around Mo Qian¡¯s legs, revealing his long and well-proportioned legs.


    ¡°Will talking affect anything? Why can¡¯t you speak?¡± Mo Qian lay flat on the bed and asked in a gentle voice. He seemed to be puzzled.


    Zhuang Xian hooked her leg over the arm of the chair beside her and sat beside him. After giving him a light glare, she replied coldly and briefly, ¡°It will affect me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian seemed to have thought of something and laughed heartily. His handsome face was filled with joy, and even his eyes, usually full of emotion and depth, became purer at this moment.


    He nodded and said, ¡°Then what if I have something I must say now? Are you trying to suffocate me to death?¡±


    This lying position didn¡¯t affect his handsomeness at all. On the contrary, it made him seem closer to life.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian¡¯s side profile and was slightly dazed.


    After a few seconds, she realized that she was distracted. Clearing her throat, she said, ¡°What do you want to say? Hurry up and tell me now.¡±


    As she spoke, she opened the medicine bag and also the acupuncture bag on the cart beside her, pretending to be calm.


    ¡°How am I supposed to know what¡¯s going to happen? What should I say? Can I shout if it hurts?¡± Mo Qian pretended to ask. If it weren¡¯t for the adoration and teasing in his eyes, Zhuang Xian would have thought that he was serious.


    After seeing the expression in the man¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Xian raised her hand and threw the medicine bag in her hand at Mo Qian. She did not forget to shout in a hoarse voice, ¡°Shut up! You¡¯re not serious!¡±


    As she spoke, she let out a sigh of relief and explained, ¡°If you feel pain during the acupuncture, you can inhale the medicine packet. I¡¯ve added a lot of herbs to concentrate and relieve pain. It can help you.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian threw the medicine over, Mo Qian nimbly raised his hand to catch it. Upon hearing her words, he gently placed the medicine bag under his nose, wrapped in white gauze.


    The light and elegant smell of herbs assailed his nose. Mo Qian smiled slightly, his eyes gentle. He felt that this was a smell he would like very much.

 Chapter 304 - 304 Chapter 304. Convulsion

    304 Chapter 304. Convulsion


    This simple medicine bag had a faint medicinal scent, which was a little similar to its owner, Zhuang Xian!


    Mo Qian sniffed and looked at Zhuang Xian. He asked in a gentle voice, ¡°You¡¯re so meticulous? Thank you, doctor Zhuang!¡±


    Zhuang Xian ignored Mo Qian and reached for a medicine bottle in the cart. She poured some of the contents onto her palm and Mo Qian¡¯s right calf.


    To completely cure Mo Qian¡¯s strange leg illness was an extremely cumbersome process. The symptoms of brittle bones in Mo Qian¡¯s leg were not the most difficult to deal with and treat!


    He had an even more complicated and challenging to treat strange illness on his leg. It was a sporadic illness, a leg nerve spasm of unknown cause. The combined severity of these two caused Mo Qian to be unable to stand upright, let alone walk freely.


    Zhuang Xian had never encountered such a rare and unique situation in real life. She had only seen a similar case while reading Saint Valley Medicine medical books.


    Mo Qian had no way to seek help, and Zhuang Xian could not bear to see him wallow in disappointment and pain all day long. That was why she had taken on this troublesome task. She had spent a lot of time and energy and even asked for help from Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s senior brother Yan Zuo to complete her treatment.


    Zhuang Xian had already tried her best. Even though she always appeared confident and calm on the surface, she did not want to push her burden onto Mo Qian.


    To Zhuang Xian, this was a whole new challenge.


    When Zhuang Xian¡¯s warm, strong hands landed on Mo Qian¡¯s legs, he trembled uncontrollably. However, Zhuang Xian did not seem to mind. She raised her head, looked at Mo Xi beside her, and whispered, ¡°Go to the side and turn up the air conditioner. You don¡¯t have to come if I don¡¯t call you, understand? ¡±


    Mo Xi glanced at the young master lying on the bed, nodded, and turned to leave.


    It was slowly raining outside the window, and the temperature in the room had indeed dropped a little. Girls are still more attentive, Mo Xi thought.


    Mo Qian had been looking at Zhuang Xian with his head tilted, the smile on his face slowly growing. He knew that Zhuang Xian was trying to protect his reputation in front of Mo Xi, but this little fool should have thought about it. Mo Xi had always been his capable assistant. How could Mo Xi not have seen his ugly side?


    However, Mo Qian was already delighted with her thoughtfulness and care.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s slender fingers did not look like they could be this strong, but the strength of her massage was intense! Mo Qian had always believed that Zhuang Xian was a fantastic doctor.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s unique and skillful technique seemed to stimulate excitement in human skin or muscles. Mo Qian felt the blood in his legs flowing, but a strange, itchy pain followed. The smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face faded a little.


    He turned his head to look at the ceiling above him. The itchy pain didn¡¯t seem to be coming from his leg but from the nerves in his brain. Through the skin and flesh, it was as if the pain was directly buried in the nerve endings. It was very uncomfortable and terrible.


    As if she knew Mo Qian¡¯s situation, Zhuang Xian opened her mouth and said calmly, ¡°The pain you¡¯re feeling right now is normal. I¡¯ll give you a few more massages in the future, and this level will slowly reduce! I¡¯m going to apply the medicine to your leg through massage directly. It¡¯ll be fine in 5 minutes!¡±


    Mo Qian endured the torture driving him crazy, and his breathing slowly became heavy. However, he still remembered to nod at Zhuang Xian to show that he understood.


    The room was filled with a faint medicinal scent but was not intense. Mo Xi silently turned around and stood at the corner. Since the young master and the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress could not be seen from here, they naturally could not see him either. Mo Qian took out his cell phone, and there were several reports from his subordinates!


    These were the latest news about the An family and An Ye. Mo Xi read them indifferently. For him, the An family could collapse no matter what. There was no way to turn back what his young master wanted to do.


    Of course, other than chasing the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss!

 Chapter 305 - 305 Chapter 305. The Moon is Beautiful

    305 Chapter 305. The Moon is Beautiful


    These five minutes felt like an eternity to Mo Qian. When Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands stopped moving, his forehead was already covered in sweat.


    He immediately turned his head to look at Zhuang Xian, only to see the girl wipe her hands with a white gauze before looking back at him.


    ¡°Next up is acupuncture. Before that, you should drink some Chinese medicine! I¡¯ll help you.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she stood up and stepped toward Mo Qian¡¯s side. She bent over and held Mo Qian¡¯s arms with her hands. With a slight force, she helped Mo Qian up.


    Mo Qian sat up with the help of the force. When he looked up, he only saw the girl¡¯s crystal white face, chin, and slightly pale lips.


    Mo Qian took the thermos cup that Zhuang Xian handed over. As he looked at the faint steam from it, a question slowly came to his mind.


    He wanted to ask Zhuang Xian when she had made the medicine. It had only been a little past 7 am when they had met this morning. It took a long time to make this medicine, so when had Zhuang Xian gotten up? Did she personally make it by herself? Did her cold have anything to do with this?


    Mo Qian drank his medicine obediently, his mind filled with thoughts. After he finished the medication in the cup, he frowned and was about to speak when Zhuang Xian stopped him with a look!


    He heard the girl say, ¡°After drinking this medicine, you can¡¯t speak. If you talk, you¡¯ll become mute. Do you understand? ¡±


    Zhuang Xian pretended to be serious, making it impossible for others to tell the truth in her words.


    However, Mo Qian did not seem to be worried at all that he would be made mute by Zhuang Xian. At such a close distance, a lot of sweet nothings flashed through Mo Qian¡¯s mind, but in the end, he only smiled faintly and said, ¡°I heard that the moon is very beautiful tonight.¡±


    The gentleness and love in his eyes were intoxicating.


    Zhuang Xian was stunned for a moment. She returned to her senses; she glared at him speechlessly but did not say anything.


    She put this reckless man who still wanted to tease her on the bed and sat back in her previous position. After gently exhaling, she picked up the silver needles in her acupuncture bag and said with a faint smile, ¡°My silver needles are beautiful too! It¡¯ll be all over your body in a moment!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her hand and pressed down on his leg without giving Mo Qian a chance to react. The fingers of her right hand held a silver needle, and she accurately and steadily inserted it into the acupuncture point on Mo Qian¡¯s leg. The candy she had put in her pocket was initially meant to offset the bitterness of the medicine. At this moment, because of Mo Qian¡¯s flirtatious mouth and teasing, Zhuang Xian unilaterally canceled it!


    Just let Mo Qian suffer! Who told him to tease her without any sense of shame?


    ¡®The moon is beautiful tonight.¡¯ There was another meaning to it, which was ¡®I like you. This was a very artistic and romantic confession; only people with a little literary sense could understand it!


    And Zhuang Xian happened to be one of those who understood.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was getting annoyed, Mo Qian didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. He obediently lay on the bed and allowed Zhuang Xian to poke him into a ¡®hedgehog¡¯!


    The feeling in his lower limbs surging up made Mo Qian feel very strange and novel. He endured the numbness and soreness of the acupuncture points in his body caused by the silver needles. His forehead was covered with sweat, and the bed sheet was soaked. The medicine bag in his hand became his only life-saving straw.


    Zhuang Xian noticed Mo Qian¡¯s unusual behavior in time. She stopped what she was doing and frowned slightly. There was a hint of worry and sorrow in her eyes. She asked, ¡°Mo Qian, how are you? Can you still bear it?¡±


    Mo Qian slowly opened his eyes and forced a smile. His voice was soft as if he was only breathing, unlike the flirtatious young master Mo. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I can bear it.¡±


    As he spoke, his right hand, resting by his side, clutched the bathrobe he was wearing.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she did not waste any more time and neatly inserted the last needle in her hand. Her expression was highly focused as if she were studying a sophisticated, expensive object.


    When Zhuang Xian¡¯s fingers left the silver needles¡¯ ends, she took a deep breath. No one knew that her back was already drenched in sweat. This kind of high-intensity concentration was very tiring. It was much more tiring than just the exhaustion of her muscles!

 Chapter 306 - 306 Chapter 306. Holding His Hand

    306 Chapter 306. Holding His Hand


    However, before Zhuang Xian could return to her seat, Mo Qian seemed unable to bear the intense pain in his lower limbs as he began to cry out.


    With his remaining rationality, he turned his head away, trying to avoid Zhuang Xian¡¯s worried gaze and cover up the ugly look on his face.


    The man¡¯s face was covered in sweat, and his veins were popping out from his neck and side. Zhuang Xian could see that Mo Qian¡¯s skin was naturally fair because he had not been exposed to the sun and exercise for many years. However, at this moment, his skin was flushed red from his struggle.


    Zhuang Xian was a little worried that Mo Qian would be unable to hold on, so she hurriedly called out, ¡°Mo Xi! Mo Xi, come here!¡±


    Mo Xi responded and rushed over from the corner. When he saw his young master¡¯s leg covered with silver needles on the bed, he was shocked. His mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Zhuang Xian with anxiety and doubt.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice was hoarse as she anxiously ordered, ¡°You stand there and hold Mo Qian down with your hands. Don¡¯t let him move his body! After the needles entered his body, his acupuncture points and meridians would be stimulated. He won¡¯t be able to take it!¡±


    Mo Xi did not waste any time and quickly walked opposite Zhuang Xian to the other side of the bed. When he saw Mo Qian¡¯s pained and embarrassed expression, Mo Xi gritted his teeth and reached out to hold Mo Qian¡¯s already trembling shoulder!


    Zhuang Xian stood up and looked at Mo Qian¡¯s slightly trembling body. She gulped and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Mo Qian! all you have to do now is to hold on for another 10 minutes! You can do it, right? I believe you¡¯re mentally prepared. Your determination and belief to stand up must not be less than mine. You must hold on!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Mo Qian¡¯s stubborn side profile. After a few seconds, Mo Qian slowly turned his head around.


    His forehead was completely wet with sweat. Zhuang Xian smiled at him, took out her handkerchief, and wiped his sweat for him. She continued to say encouraging words, ¡°I know it hurts, and you¡¯ve worked hard! However, clearing your blocked meridians and the blood Qi in your acupoints are the most important processes! After the first round of acupuncture, you can try to stand up slowly!¡±


    Mo Qian had spent almost all his energy and rationality controlling himself and resisting the pain. However, the human body has the perfect function of ¡®seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. This kind of subconscious trembling and escape was not under the subjective control of the human body.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian with tired and pained eyes. He tried to smile, but he failed.


    In the next second, the medicine packet pressed against his nose slightly eased his pain. However, it was enough to let Mo Qian relax the tense nerves in his brain.


    Zhuang Xian grabbed the medicine bag and adjusted it under Mo Qian¡¯s nose, which was stuck to the bedsheet. She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s slightly relaxed expression and smiled gently. She was beautiful and dazzling, but Mo Qian did not see it because the next wave of pain was starting to engulf him again.


    Mo Xi looked at Mo Qian with a face full of worry. He licked his dry lips and turned to Zhuang Xian, asking in a deep voice, ¡°Miss Zhuang! Is it normal for our young master to have such a reaction? Is this within your expectations? Why did he have such a big reaction? Shall we call it a day? I think the young master can¡¯t take it anymore. If he continues like this, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll faint from dehydration!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes never left Mo Qian¡¯s face; naturally, she did not miss Mo Xi¡¯s request.


    ¡°Wait a little longer! He had already endured it for so long! Are you going to let all his previous efforts go to waste? We have to believe in him. He can only rely on himself to slip through this stage!¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, her expressive and beautiful eyes were filled with determination and trust.


    She seemed to have no reason not to trust Mo Qian and had always believed that he would persist.


    Mo Xi took two deep breaths. He was very helpless but had no choice but to continue watching his young master being tortured like this.


    Zhuang Xian could feel Mo Qian¡¯s entire body tense up in pain. As her eyes slowly looked down, she saw Mo Qian¡¯s right hand gripping his bathrobe. The veins on his right hand were exposed, and his fingertips had already started to turn slightly white!


    As if she was possessed, Zhuang Xian suddenly reached out and pried open Mo Qian¡¯s tightly clenched palm. She stuffed her warm hand into Mo Qian¡¯s big hand and held him back with great force.

 Chapter 307 - 307 Chapter 307. Prologue of The Past

    307 Chapter 307. Prologue of The Past


    Mo Qian seemed to have felt something. He loosened his grip but gripped this soft, tender hand that appeared to have some magical soothing effect!


    The corner of Mo Qian¡¯s mouth, which was stuck to the sweat-soaked bed sheet, slowly rose into a tiny arc.


    His girl had always rejected and resisted him in all sorts of ways on the surface! She had never given him any real hope, but in her mind, Zhuang Xian still treated him very specially! At the very least, in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart, Mo Qian should not be someone who was dispensable. Mo Qian was confident and firm in this.


    However, how could Zhuang Xian, who had been struggling and dodging all this time, escape Mo Qian¡¯s grasp? Mo Qian could be a very patient hunter. He had made all the necessary preparations and was waiting for Zhuang Xian, this beautiful little beast, to step into the dense net of his so-called gentleness and affection.


    Mo Xi had never known that ten minutes could be so long and difficult to endure!


    He looked at his young master lying on the bed and seemed to be on the verge of death. A few times, he wanted to stop his young master, but he was dispelled by the pained but determined and stubborn expression on his young master¡¯s face.


    Mo Xi had grown up with Mo Qian since they were young. If he had to count, he was not the young master¡¯s Special Assistant. He should be the young master¡¯s brother who was like his left and right arm!


    He had seen all the ups and downs of his young master¡¯s life. When outsiders thought of Mo Qian, they sighed and said there was nothing wrong with him. ¡®The heavens are jealous of the talented, and extreme wisdom will hurt them!


    To outsiders, Mo Qian was the only successor of the Mo family, born with a golden spoon and raised in the limelight. He was a most honorable young master and a billionaire.


    However, only those who had been by Mo Qian¡¯s side all this time knew that to wear the crown; one had to be able to bear its weight!


    Mo Qian¡¯s family was well-off, so there were many gazes on him since he was young. Some were envious and full of envy, and naturally, also, there were those filled with malice and greed.


    Mo Qian had been kidnapped three times, and a big explosion kidnapping case shook City H each time. Now that the ransom amount was revealed, it was still shocking!


    Fortunately, the kidnappers were only after the money. They did not dare to hurt Mo Qian because that would mean the Mo family would hunt them down at all costs. Even if they were kidnappers who committed all kinds of evil, no one would be stupid to that extent.


    That was why Mo Qian had been able to escape from those vicious kidnappers repeatedly! Of course, behind this was the Mo Corporation¡¯s strong and colossal strength and the police¡¯s great attention.


    Out of the three kidnapping cases, the one that had the most significant impact on Mo Qian was the ¡®accident¡¯ that happened in Kyushu Harbor three years ago!


    Due to some special reasons, the Mo family and the officials later agreed that this was just an accident. The Kyushu harbor incident was originally a big kidnapping case carefully planned by the kidnappers.


    Mo Xi still didn¡¯t dare to think about how much blood and benefits were involved in that case. He only knew that after his young master returned from Kyushu harbor, he had become calmer and gloomier.


    Mo Qian had suffered many injuries on his way to escape. There was no good spot on his body, but these were not the most significant injuries! The trauma that the Kyushu harbor kidnapping incident had caused Mo Qian wasn¡¯t just physical. It was more of a destruction and trauma to his heart.


    After two years of psychological intervention and treatment, Mo Qian slowly walked out of the haze and darkness. Mo Qian was an influential person. That degree of traumatic psychological illness could not be quickly recovered in just two years!


    However, Mo Qian¡¯s condition improved significantly. Of course, during those two years, Mo Qian did not give up on finding the girl who had escaped with him for two days in Kyushu harbor!


    Now that Mo Xi thought of these things, he had already understood. The girl, the young master, was looking for was not Lan Ling, who took the initiative to come to the Mo family with the ring token and acknowledge the young master. Instead, the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young lady was holding the young master¡¯s hand tightly with a worried and nervous face.

 Chapter 308 - 308 Chapter 308. A Fated Encounter

    308 Chapter 308. A Fated Encounter


    As for why Zhuang Xian did not remember when she and her young master were on the run, Mo Xi was also puzzled. It had been a long time since they went to Kyushu harbor to investigate this matter, but there had been no progress.


    They could not tell anything from these clues that were not clear on the surface. It could be said that if their young master were not intelligent and sharp, he would not have remembered Zhuang Xian¡¯s young and dirty face just two days three years ago; even if his Savior was right in front of him, he would not have known her and would have missed her!


    Perhaps it was all arranged by fate. Two people who should meet in a sea of people, even after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, would still meet at the next intersection of fate, just like Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian.


    The Wheel of Fortune was unstoppable. Humans did not have many choices before it. However, to Mo Qian, the choice to meet Zhuang Xian was the accumulation of all the luck in the first half of his life!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand that was holding onto Mo Qian¡¯s was warm. The two hands that were tightly pressed together had distinct joints, but they were intertwined with each other, like a vine and the tree that it was snuggling up to. They had a symbiotic relationship.


    This time, it was already time for the acupuncture to end. Mo Qian¡¯s side profile was heavily panting, sticking to the sweat-stained bed sheet. He felt waves of piercing and burning pain coming from his lower limbs. He groaned softly, ¡°Zhuang Xian!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her head and looked at him with confusion. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are there any other places that hurt? I¡¯ll remove the needles immediately!¡±


    As she spoke, she motioned for Mo Xi to let go of Mo Qian¡¯s shoulder.


    Mo Xi let go and straightened his back, retreating to the side. He looked at his young master¡¯s wet clothes, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to the female assistant who was guarding the door outside, indicating for her to prepare clean and neat clothes as well as warm and easy-to-digest food.


    Mo Qian felt Mo Xi¡¯s retreat and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted into a smile. He looked up at Zhuang Xian; his tender and beautiful Phoenix eyes seemed to have a hook, with a different kind of charm and lazy sexiness.


    Mo Qian¡¯s voice was very soft. Zhuang Xian subconsciously moved closer to him to hear what he was saying.


    She heard Mo Qian say, ¡°I performed so well just now. Is there a reward?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian could not help but chuckle. She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s face, her eyes filled with helplessness, joy, and even a little indulgence.


    Zhuang Xian nodded. She wanted to pull her hand away from Mo Qian¡¯s and wipe the sweat off his forehead, but she realized that she couldn¡¯t move it no matter how hard she tried. The girl pursed her lips and looked at Mo Qian with the corner of her eyes slightly raised, ¡°Let go, or else I¡¯ll let you be like a porcupine forever!¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian, who was laughing uncontrollably, and the smile on his face suddenly widened. He said softly, ¡°Then let¡¯s leave it like this for now! A Porcupine is a Porcupine!¡± Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t let go.


    ¡°Oh? You weren¡¯t the one who bent over and groaned in pain just now, were you?¡± Zhuang Xian asked in a flirtatious manner.


    Her empty right hand was not idle. She nimbly removed the silver needles from a few of Mo Qian¡¯s important acupuncture points, her face calm and peaceful.


    Mo Qian sighed in relief as she pulled out the silver needles on his leg. He held Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand tightly to prevent it from slipping away from his palm. He smiled calmly and said, ¡°It¡¯s me. That¡¯s why I¡¯m asking you. I¡¯m so strong now. Do you have any reward for me?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked up quietly and glanced at Mo Xi, who was looking down at the ground. She smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that President Mo has such an innocent side to him. May I ask how old you are this year?¡±


    Mo Qian could not help but laugh. His intuition told him that Zhuang Xian was not trying to say that he was innocent but that she was trying to say that he was a rascal and childish. He let go of Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and smiled without saying anything.


    Zhuang Xian retracted her hand and focused on removing the silver needles from Mo Qian¡¯s leg.


    Mo Xi didn¡¯t dare to let himself make a sound, but in his lowered eyes, some surprise and helplessness flashed from time to time!


    Mo Xi felt that his knowledge and understanding of the young master still seemed not to be deep and familiar enough.

 Chapter 309 - 309 Chapter 309. Is There a Reward?

    309 Chapter 309. Is There a Reward?


    At least, Mo Xi had never seen his young master act so weak and coquettishly to anyone other than grandma Mo!


    At this moment, Mo Qian was like an injured, lazy lion. Under his soft fur was an extremely fragile heart that needed more security.


    The impact that Mo Qian had given Mo Xi today was already enough! Mo Xi felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.


    After helping Mo Qian cover his legs with a blanket, Zhuang Xian heaved and said to Mo Xi, ¡°Help him up now. He still needs to take some more medicine.¡±


    Mo Xi received the order and gently strove to support Mo Qian¡¯s back, helping him sit up slowly.


    The sweat on his forehead and his flushed face did not affect Mo Qian¡¯s handsomeness. He tiredly looked up at Zhuang Xian and said softly, ¡°Do I need medicine again? Didn¡¯t I drink it?¡±


    Zhuang Xian poured another half cup of warm Chinese medicine from the thermos. She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s furrowed brows and laughed lightly, ¡°I said you¡¯re a child, and you¡¯re one? Why are you so afraid of medicine?¡±


    As she spoke, she handed the cup to Mo Qian and explained, ¡°The cup you drank before the acupuncture was to dredge your qi and blood, and this cup is to strengthen your foundation! I¡¯ve put in a lot of money for you to recover quickly! It took me a lot of effort to find these herbs, quickly drink them all!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Xian. In this hand-feeding position, he slowly drank the cup¡¯s contents in one gulp. However, his focused eyes never left Zhuang Xian¡¯s face.


    The bitter taste attacked his taste buds. Even Mo Qian, who had always been particularly good at enduring, frowned in distress!


    Zhuang Xian thought it was funny, but in the end, she still took out the candy from her bag and handed it to Mo Qian. She raised her eyebrows slightly, indicating Mo Qian to look at her palm. She laughed lightly and teased, ¡°Your reward! Little friend.¡±


    Mo Xi almost couldn¡¯t hold back and broke down. He suppressed the arc of his mouth. It was tough to hold it in. He thought of how his young master and the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter got along. They were polite and gentlemanly, but he never thought that things would turn out like this!


    Of course, he wasn¡¯t saying that they were wrong to bicker with each other in a relaxed and happy way. He just felt that he had to get used to their relationship, which had derived and changed so quickly.


    Mo Qian looked at the candy in Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and laughed. He raised his hand and slowly took it, looking at Zhuang Xian with tender, deep eyes.


    It was as if Zhuang Xian finally couldn¡¯t resist the ambiguous and complicated gaze. After coughing lightly in her dry throat, she said to Mo Xi, ¡°Keep him warm. He can only shower after half an hour. I¡¯ll tell you how to adjust the prescription and medicine later! I¡¯ll drink water; you stay here and look after him.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she glanced at Mo Qian and let out a faint sigh. She was about to leave the room when Mo Qian said, ¡°You¡¯re sick too. Go back and have a good sleep! If there¡¯s anything, we can talk about it tonight.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he used his eyes to signal Mo Xi to get someone to send Zhuang Xian back to her room to rest. He, on the other hand, closed his eyes tiredly. The candy in his hand had not been peeled and put into his mouth since the beginning. It was as if with Zhuang Xian¡¯s ¡®reward¡¯, he could get through all the bitterness and difficulties in the future!


    Zhuang Xian was like a spark in his heart. She wasn¡¯t bright, but she was enough to light up his darkness.


    When she walked out of the men¡¯s apartment, Zhuang Xian met Lei Cheng and Li Zhen at the main gate.


    Lei Cheng had heard from the old general that Zhuang Xian was treating Mo Qian¡¯s leg. He was not very clear about the details, but his curiosity had led him to follow the old general here.


    Li Zhen glanced at Mo Qian¡¯s assistant behind Zhuang Xian and the things he was carrying on his shoulders. He asked gently, ¡°Has it already ended? How¡¯s Mo Qian¡¯s condition?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s lips were slightly pale. She looked at her grandfather, who was either gossiping or worried and nodded.

 Chapter 310 - 310 Chapter 310. The An Corporation is Gone

    310 Chapter 310. The An Corporation is Gone


    ¡°Not bad, ¡± Zhuang Xian replied, ¡± Mo Qian¡¯s condition is much better than I thought.


    ¡°That¡¯s good! But you don¡¯t look well; you should go back and rest.¡± As Li Zhen spoke, he raised his hand to signal Zhuang Xian to rest.


    He also knew that Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was complicated, and this level of treatment would not be easy. While he was happy for Mo Qian, he also felt sorry for his precious granddaughter. So, he waited below Mo Qian¡¯s residence to check on Zhuang Xian¡¯s condition as soon as possible.


    Sitting in Lei Cheng¡¯s exclusive vehicle in Blue Eagle Base, Zhuang Xian sighed tiredly. She had not slept well last night and had woken up early in the morning to boil the thick medicine for Mo Qian with the utensils in the canteen. Zhuang Xian had been holding on in front of Mo Qian just now.


    Mo Qian wasn¡¯t the only one who was exhausted.


    ¡°Old man! Are the people from the police station here? What did they say?¡± Zhuang Xian asked softly with her eyes closed.


    Li Zhen turned to look at her and said in disagreement, ¡°You¡¯re already so tired; why are you still thinking about these things? I thought you were asleep.¡±


    Zhuang Xian opened her eyes and turned to look at her grandfather. She didn¡¯t say anything, but her eyes were filled with doubt.


    Li Zhen looked at her pale face and raised his hands in surrender. ¡°Good, good, good! I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk. The police left not long ago. Their reply was that An Ye had woken up this morning, but her condition was not very good. Perhaps it would take another two days before they could officially start the interrogation! Don¡¯t worry; Grandpa will help you.¡±


    Li Zhen¡¯s voice was very soft, and Lei Cheng, who was driving in front, almost couldn¡¯t hear him.


    As he spoke, he looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He sighed and said, in my opinion, there¡¯s no need for the police to get involved. Just hand it over to Grandpa. Grandpa promises to do it well for you and let An Ye, that evil woman, get the punishment she deserves.


    In Li Zhen¡¯s eyes, whether or not Zhuang Xian had set An Ye up was no longer the most important thing. In any case, good and evil will always be rewarded. He only believed in Zhuang Xian and understood what kind of person she was!


    At least, An Ye was not innocent.


    After listening to Li Zhen¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian pondered for a while, then said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we have to get the police to separate An Ye from the people around her. We can¡¯t let them have a chance to meet An Ye! We must also control the people of the An clan!¡±


    Li Zhen turned to Zhuang Xian and smiled warmly. ¡°Do I need you to tell me this? Grandpa has already prepared it for you! However, as you said, An family is immoral.¡±


    Seeing that the old man was starting to show off, Zhuang Xian looked up at him helplessly and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Don¡¯t pique my curiosity. Just tell me what¡¯s wrong with the An family.¡±


    Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian in silence for a few seconds. Seeing that she did not seem to be faking it, he was sure that Zhuang Xian was unaware of this matter. He thought about it and felt that it made sense. The An Corporation¡¯s fall was even faster than the autumn rain. It was gone in the blink of an eye.


    ¡°The An clan is gone!¡± Li Zhen said indifferently.


    Zhuang Xian was stunned. She thought she had heard something wrong. She frowned and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this? The An clan is gone?¡±


    Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s confused face and chuckled. ¡°Since last night, the An Corporation¡¯s stocks have been falling. This morning, it crashed! Not only that, but financial scandals and public opinion also accompanied the disappearance of the An Corporation¡¯s assets. The An clan is gone.


    It¡¯s pretty mysterious! The speed at which the An family collapsed. It did not seem to be the result of market success. It was too fast and too strange! It¡¯s like there¡¯s a giant hand controlling everything from behind. It¡¯s powerful and sharp and aimed to destroy the An family without mercy!¡±


    As Li Zhen spoke, he retracted his gaze and rubbed the calluses on his fingers. This was an action he would only do when he was excited. His turbid but sharp eyes slowly revealed a glimmer of interest.

 Chapter 311 - 311 Chapter 311. What he Did For Her

    311 Chapter 311. What he Did For Her


    In the massive City H, not many people have such strength, courage, and power. There are only a few! As Li Zhen spoke, he slowly turned to look at Zhuang Xian, his eyes filled with a complicated interest.


    Zhuang Xian looked deeply at Li Zhen and felt his expression was strange. She frowned slightly and asked softly, ¡°So, what do you want to say, old man?¡±


    Li Zhen glared at Zhuang Xian and shifted his position like a child. He moved closer to Zhuang Xian and said excitedly, ¡°It¡¯s so obvious, don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t tell. How many of the people you know in City H are as capable as him? And you¡¯re doing a good deed ¡®without leaving your name!¡±


    Li Zhen said, the hidden meaning in his eyes already very obvious.


    Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t stupid or slow to react. Naturally, she could tell her grandfather was implying something, but she still had doubts and puzzlement in her heart.


    Why did Mo Qian help her with this?


    Or, to be more precise, why was he able to help her to this extent?


    Zhuang Xian recalled the last words that Mo Qian had said to her before she left the room.


    He had said, ¡®If there¡¯s anything, we¡¯ll talk about it at night. At that time, he had probably already tried to explain the situation to himself. However, he did not have time to explain anything before he got tired that he could not open his eyes and fell asleep!


    And Mo Xi¡¯s priority at that time was naturally to stay and take care of Mo Qian, so this led to no one telling her about these things.


    Zhuang Xian, who had been busy treating Mo Qian¡¯s leg the entire morning, had no way of knowing the latest news.


    Zhuang Xian slowly came back to her senses. When she looked at Li Zhen, she guessed that her grandfather must have thought it. Mo Qian¡¯s methods of dealing with the An Corporation were not obscure, nor was he deliberately trying to hide it. A wise and astute person like the old man, even in a situation where he did not know the cause and effect of the matter, could still directly guess the outcome from the clues!


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was silent, Li Zhen thought for a moment before saying, ¡°I feel like this kid likes you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian, ¡°¡­¡±


    Even if you¡¯re wise and have seen through many things, some things don¡¯t need to be said directly. Zhuang Xian complained in her heart.


    Li Zhen looked at her in surprise as if he had heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s complaints. ¡± What¡¯s there to deny? One of you has a heavenly talent, and the other is stunning. You two are a match made in heaven! Didn¡¯t you notice? Mo Qian¡¯s sincerity in liking and pursuing you is full! I think it¡¯s pretty good!¡±


    Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s speechless expression and pinched her ear. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Don¡¯t you like Mo Qian?¡±


    Zhuang Xian sighed helplessly, speechless at the old man¡¯s unpredictable thoughts. Weren¡¯t they talking about the collapse of the An family? Why did the topic change to whether Mo Qian liked her in just a few minutes?


    ¡°Old man, what are you talking about? Are there any inevitable connections between the two topics we¡¯re talking about?¡± Zhuang Xian gently pushed Li Zhen¡¯s hand away and pretended to be speechless. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you tired of being the old Chief of the Army and want to change to a matchmaker? I don¡¯t need you to worry about my matters!¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he shouted angrily, ¡°You stupid girl, Grandpa is giving you advice! If you don¡¯t like Mo Qian like this, do you still want the gods in the sky?¡±


    ¡°I was wrong, Grandpa. Let¡¯s not talk about this now, okay? Let¡¯s talk about something else!¡± Zhuang Xian raised her hand to her forehead and said in a compromising manner.


    Given the old man¡¯s playful nature, if she continued to argue with him, there would be no end to it. So, Zhuang Xian chose to surrender.


    Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian, who always bickers with him, and was surprised that she had surrendered. He could sense that Zhuang Xian was very different from the past, so he stared at her for a while!


    ¡°We¡¯re here, Chief!¡± Lei Cheng¡¯s sudden words saved Zhuang Xian promptly and appropriately!

 Chapter 312 - 312 Chapter 312. He Surrenders

    312 Chapter 312. He Surrenders


    Zhuang Xian pretended to clear her voice and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go upstairs to sleep first, Grandpa. My head feels slightly uncomfortable; I think my cold has worsened!¡±


    Li Zhen sized her up, unmoving like a mountain. After a long while, he nodded mercifully and said, ¡°Go, take your medicine, and have a good sleep. We¡¯ll talk about other things when your throat is better!¡±


    Zhuang Xian was stunned for a moment, then continued, ¡°What other things? Is there anything else I don¡¯t know?¡±


    When Lei Cheng heard this, he interrupted, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this. Now that An Ye¡¯s condition has stabilized, the matter of her attacking you has been handed over to the police to handle and investigate! The school people said they wanted to ask about the situation here. Do you want to continue staying outside to recuperate? Or do you want to go back to the mountains and continue with the military training with the Army?¡±


    Lei Cheng conveyed the words of the Saint Capital University, not forgetting to glance at the old General¡¯s face.


    He licked his lips and continued, ¡°Mr. Bai is also busy, so he didn¡¯t have time to visit you today. He asked me to ask for your thoughts. After all, military training is still more important. If you can persist, it¡¯s best to go back and continue with everyone!¡±


    After Chief Instructor Lei said all this, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little uneasy. From the special treatment the old chief had given Zhuang Xian over the past two days, he could tell that Zhuang Xian was someone he couldn¡¯t afford to offend.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries had not yet recovered, and the school was eager to send her back for military training. It seemed they were not giving chief Li Zhen any face at all. And for someone like the old chief who was so protective of his children, he would go against the school.


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m returning to continue my military training.¡± Before her grandfather could say anything, Zhuang Xian immediately agreed to Lei Cheng¡¯s request.


    She looked at Lei Cheng and smiled, ¡°Even if teacher Bai and instructor Lei didn¡¯t mention this, I would have taken the initiative to say it to you! The school leaders, of course, have to consider this matter from the big picture. They can¡¯t break the general rules just because of me. This is unfair to the students who still grit their teeth and persevere in training despite their injuries!


    My injury is nothing serious. I returned with you yesterday because I couldn¡¯t take it anymore and wanted to see An Ye being handed over to the police! Now that the case is on the right track, I naturally have to go back and continue my military training. I don¡¯t want to be expelled from the school because of this!¡±


    There was a bright smile on the beautiful girl¡¯s face. If one looked closely, one could see a cunning and playful look in her eyes. Even her hoarse voice seemed inexplicably cute.


    Lei Cheng thought he would have to spend more time and effort convincing Zhuang Xian to return to military training. He did not expect Zhuang Xian to be so cooperative. She even helped him to speak up for the school in front of the old chief and indirectly saved him from being scolded by the chief.


    In contrast to Zhuang Xian¡¯s understanding and open-minded attitude, her words and the subtle teasing of the school and the military all became much cuter and cheeky. After listening to her, people only felt that she was adorable.


    Lei Cheng looked at Zhuang Xian with admiration and replied, ¡°It¡¯s great that you think this way, Zhuang Xian. Rest well in the base today. I¡¯ll send a helicopter to send you back tomorrow morning.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded lightly, indicating that she had no objections. She turned to look at her grandfather, who had been silent the entire time, and tried to comfort him, ¡°I¡¯m fine, Grandpa! It¡¯s just a minor injury; it¡¯s not a big deal. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. ¡±


    How could Li Zhen not understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts? Even if something happened to her, she would act as if nothing had happened. He knew he could not stop this little devil, so Li Zhen let her be.


    After sighing lightly, Li Zhen said, ¡°With your stubborn temper, what¡¯s the point of me worrying? I¡¯m too lazy to say this to you; you do as you see fit.¡±


    As Li Zhen spoke, he turned his head with a gloomy expression.


    Zhuang Xian took a deep look at her grandfather, pushed open the door, and got out of the car. She stood by the car and waved to her grandfather and instructor, Lei, before going upstairs.

 Chapter 313 - 313 Chapter 313. Old Lady An

    313 Chapter 313. Old Lady An


    Of course, Zhuang Xian knew about the old man¡¯s worries and concerns for her, but there were many things that she had to do personally.


    Lei Cheng looked at the general sitting in the back seat with a gloomy expression. After thinking for a while, he explained, ¡°Zhuang Xian is a child with many ideas. She knows what she¡¯s doing. Chief, you don¡¯t have to be so worried!¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he sighed softly and pretended to snort coldly. ¡°She¡¯s too self-aware! The things she wants to do in her heart can¡¯t be pulled back by eight horses!¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a good thing? It means that she is determined and hardworking!¡± Lei Cheng smiled and replied respectfully.


    In fact, from some aspects, Lei Cheng¡¯s evaluation of Zhuang Xian was quite pertinent. Zhuang Xian had always made plans before taking action. She was indeed very opinionated and persistent. At the same time, she also had powerful execution ability. This could be seen from the military training experience this time.


    At Ren Xin hospital.


    Si Rong was holding a medical record as he walked along the corridor outside An Ye¡¯s ward. When he heard the clamor and noise not far away, he couldn¡¯t help but stop in his tracks. He looked up and furrowed his brows.


    This should be the fourth time today that the An family¡¯s scoundrels had come to disturb the police.


    ¡°An Ye hasn¡¯t even woken up yet, and you¡¯re just going to imprison her like this? What kind of logic is this? Then you said that Zhuang Xian wants to sue our An Ye, then let her come and confront us! Why is she cowering behind? She is feeling guilty! If she¡¯s guilty, I¡¯ll expose her disgusting little tricks!¡±


    An Ye¡¯s grandmother was an extremely rude and fierce old lady. She deliberately used her age to make these young people at the police station afraid to go against her. That was why she was so fearless in the hospital.


    If anyone dared to stop her, she would scold them, but if she couldn¡¯t, she would lie on the ground and start to cry and criticize them. She would beat and scold them. In any case, she would use all means to stir up trouble and force the police to release her granddaughter!


    The two police officers standing before her seemed to have gotten used to it. They ignored the old lady¡¯s provocation and pestering.


    The other wards on both sides of the corridor were also full of patients. Naturally, some of the patient¡¯s family members were very dissatisfied with the old lady¡¯s unreasonable and reckless behavior.


    However, before they could say a word, they were scolded by the old lady. They were so angry that their faces turned red, and when they opened their mouths again, they had lost the opportunity.


    Even the police couldn¡¯t do anything to her, so what could they, the family members of ordinary patients, do to her?


    Therefore, no one could control this unreasonable old lady at this moment!


    ¡°That adopted daughter of the Zhuang family is slandering our An Ye! My granddaughter is terrific; why did she attack her? An Ye didn¡¯t go crazy! Zhuang Xian was the one who lied to all of you. Do you understand? This little b*tch didn¡¯t meet me. Otherwise, I would teach her a lesson! I¡¯m talking to you, police officers. Are you listening?


    If you are so unreasonable, I¡¯ll go to the relevant Department to keep you together! What the hell are they? They only know how to bully people! Other people might be afraid of the police, but I¡¯m not. I¡¯ve lived long enough, anyway! I¡¯ll fight you to the death today! Hurry up and let me in to see my granddaughter, or I won¡¯t be polite!¡±


    The police officer was impatient and helpless as he looked at the old lady who looked like a rascal. He thought that this person was good. She had been scolding the whole morning, and she was not tired at all. She had said so much, but her mouth did not feel dry. She was amazing!


    How was this an old lady? Her combat power was much stronger than the young ladies in their police force!


    This unruly old lady saw that no one was willing to pay attention to her. She raised the walking stick in her hand and went forward to push people. One of the two relatively young police officers couldn¡¯t stand this anger. After being hit by the walking stick a few times, he couldn¡¯t help but reach out and push the old lady!


    The old lady was just a woman with a fierce appearance. How could she be a match for the young man?

 Chapter 314 - 314 Chapter 314. Si Rongs Eloquence

    314 Chapter 314. Si Rong¡¯s Eloquence


    With this backward force, the old lady slid down. But before she touched the ground, she started crying loudly as if some strange switch had been turned on!


    ¡°The police are hitting people! He has killed someone! Bullying an old lady like me. What kind of ability do you have? My waist! I¡¯m afraid that if it¡¯s broken, you police will be beaten to death!¡±


    Si Rong¡¯s face was cold as he took a few steps toward the old lady. He looked for an opportunity for the old lady to catch her breath and said sarcastically, ¡°Yo! I couldn¡¯t see clearly from afar, but it was old Madam An! Why? It¡¯s too hot today. Are you sitting on the floor to cool down?


    But your family¡¯s backyard is on fire; how can you still be so free? President An is on a live broadcast on TV. Aren¡¯t you going home to watch it? The media must have exposed your company, right? It is indeed difficult to do business at this time, but President An couldn¡¯t possibly use such illegal means to make a profit for himself. President An is muddleheaded this time!¡±


    As Si Rong spoke, he placed his hands behind his back and glanced at the tightly shut door of An Ye¡¯s ward. His expression darkened as he turned to look at the old lady¡¯s dumbstruck expression. He said regretfully, ¡°I heard An Ye attacked a student in school. Heavens! How could she do that at such a young age? As expected of someone who President An raised. If the upper beam is not right, the lower beam will be crooked. Do you think I¡¯m right? Old Madam An?¡±


    The old lady sat on the floor and listened to Si Rong with a dazed expression. Her loose and mean face trembled unnaturally, and she shrieked, ¡°What do you mean by that? What¡¯s wrong with An Chuan? What¡¯s wrong with our An family?¡±


    Si Rong had said so much just now, but the only things that remained in her mind were the An family¡¯s assets and her son, An Chuan. As for An Ye, who she had wanted to rush in to see just a moment ago, she had naturally forgotten about her!


    Humans die in pursuit of wealth; birds die in the quest for food; this was ironic!


    Si Rong furrowed his brows and looked at her with feigned pity. ¡°It seems you don¡¯t know that Mrs. An went back alone to get help but failed, right? Oh, that¡¯s true. She is still with President An, surrounded by reporters in the Corporation¡¯s building! Naturally, I don¡¯t have time to reply to your message.¡±


    As Si Rong spoke, he pointed at television broadcasting City H¡¯s economic news. ¡°Go and take a look. The live broadcast shouldn¡¯t be over yet!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, old Madam An, who was still in doubt, stood up and walked over shakily. After she saw what the message was, she left in a hurry.


    The police officer watched as she disappeared into the corridor. He turned to Si Rong and said, ¡± Thank you, doctor! If it weren¡¯t for you, we wouldn¡¯t have any way to deal with her. We can¡¯t scold her, and we can¡¯t even touch her. It¡¯s annoying!¡±


    Si Rong smiled faintly as he looked at the two bitter-looking police officers. He consoled them, ¡°That¡¯s because you police officers are upright. That¡¯s why she dares to bully you like this! You can see if anyone would care about her if it was a normal person.¡±


    As Si Rong spoke, he suddenly saw the door of An Ye¡¯s ward open and vice director Dr. Zhang walk out. Si Rong was slightly confused and asked, ¡°Why did you come out from inside? Is An Ye in bed 44 your patient?¡±


    Dr. Zhang looked at Si Rong and smiled gently. He explained, ¡°Of course, An Ye isn¡¯t my patient! I still haven¡¯t forgotten the painful lesson from last time!¡±


    As he spoke, the smile on his face slowly turned bitter. After sighing softly, he continued, ¡°It¡¯s doctor Li. He said that the injury on An Ye¡¯s waist was too serious and asked me to come over and look. Do you think I want to see the ugly faces of this family?¡±


    Si Rong laughed when he heard Dr. Zhang¡¯s self-deprecating remarks. He patted Dr. Zhang¡¯s shoulder and said gently, ¡°You¡¯re right! Whoever is pestered by An Ye¡¯s family will be annoyed to death.¡±


    As he spoke, he slowly walked toward the other end of the corridor.


    Dr. Zhang followed behind Si Rong at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. He was casually chatting with him, but he was thinking about An Ye¡¯s situation.

 Chapter 315 - 315 Chapter 315. A Clay Bodhisattva Crossing The River

    315 Chapter 315. A Clay Bodhisattva Crossing The River


    Si Rong was also very curious about An Ye¡¯s injury during military training, especially since the other protagonist of this incident was young master Mo¡¯s sweetheart, the daughter of the Zhuang family-Zhuang Xian!


    Si Rong hadn¡¯t seen this girl for a long time since their last meeting. After receiving An Ye as a patient at the emergency department last night, he slowly understood some things from the follow-up treatment.


    It turned out that Zhuang Xian had gone to the Saint Capital University to report and was now in the Blue Eagle Base for military training. No wonder he had not seen her recently!


    Even though Si Rong was silently unhappy with young master Mo for forsaking his friends for a woman, he did not forget to answer Dr. Zhang¡¯s question. ¡°With this degree of lumbar injury, no matter how good the surgery is, she won¡¯t recover from the injury. An Ye¡¯s life is over.¡±


    Dr. Zhang nodded and poured Si Rong a glass of water. When he handed it to him, he asked, ¡°From what I heard from the police, An Ye wanted to attack a female classmate from her school. Not only did she fail, but she also got herself into such a miserable state. Is that true?¡±


    Si Rong felt that he probably knew more than Dr. Zhang. After all, he was the director of this department. If the police wanted to place someone in front of An Ye¡¯s ward, they would have to inform him first. At the same time, they would also require him to cooperate with the police.


    He took the glass of water from Dr. Zhang and thanked him casually. He nodded and said, ¡°Well, from the evidence that the police have so far, that should be the truth of the matter. An Ye brought this upon herself and is extremely stupid. She¡¯s not worthy of sympathy.¡±


    After taking a sip of warm water, Si Rong stretched his neck and stood up slowly. He unbuttoned his white coat and said, ¡°I¡¯m going back to rest in the afternoon. You keep an eye on the department.¡±


    As Si Rong spoke, he seemed to have recalled something. He turned to look at Dr. Zhang and added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. That old lady from the An family won¡¯t come and cause trouble again.¡±


    Something flashed across Dr. Zhang¡¯s mind as he looked at Si Rong, puzzled.


    ¡°The An family is like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river now; they can¡¯t even protect themselves! And don¡¯t have the time to care about her. Let¡¯s wait and see; I¡¯m afraid the An family¡¯s past dignity won¡¯t last long.¡± Si Rong¡¯s lips slowly curled into a faint smile as he spoke.


    The entire An family¡¯s situation was exactly as Si Rong had described.


    After making a ruckus in the hospital the entire morning, old Madam An was still unaware of the news of the impending thunderstorm when she returned to the An family!


    When Zhuang Xian returned to her dormitory and lay on her bed, she thought she couldn¡¯t fall asleep. But when she opened her eyes again, the sky outside the window was already dark. She took her phone from beside her pillow, looked at the time, and immediately sat up.


    Zhuang Xian had slept for quite a long time!


    The phone¡¯s screen was dimly lit and filled with the latest economic news from various apps. Zhuang Xian did not open it because she could easily guess what was happening.


    Based on Mo Qian¡¯s swift and decisive actions and stubborn personality, it was unlikely that the An family would be able to protect themselves or even try to fight back! The An clan should only be an empty shell now.


    As the old man said, the An Corporation was truly gone!


    Zhuang Xian, who was looking at her phone screen in a daze, was immediately attracted by the message that flashed on the interface.


    ¡°Are you awake? Can we have dinner together?¡±


    Looking at the signature on the front of the message, Zhuang Xian sighed softly and began complaining in her heart.


    Was young master Mo¡¯s daily life so leisurely? The Mo family had such a huge business. Was there nothing that President Mo had to deal with personally?


    Mo Qian should have been awake for a long time because Zhuang Xian¡¯s phone still showed a few text messages from young master Mo an hour ago.


    He had been in the Blue Eagle Base for a whole day. Was he that free? Zhuang Xian was a little curious and confused. She thought that she wanted to be a carefree and comfortable CEO of a financial group like Mo Qian.

 Chapter 316 - 316 Chapter 316. Lei Cheng is Driving People Away?

    316 Chapter 316. Lei Cheng is Driving People Away?


    She raised her hand and replied to Mo Qian¡¯s message that she would be coming soon. Zhuang Xian casually freshened up and stepped out into the night.


    After Lei Cheng had dealt with the military training for the entire day, he rushed to report the situation to Li Zhen.


    Initially, the cooperation with Saint Capital University was led by Li Zhen. Now that he was personally holding the fort, Lei Cheng, as the Chief Instructor, naturally had to report to him.


    So after listening to the report, Li Zhen and Lei Cheng made an appointment to go to the canteen for dinner. They even met Mo Qian, who was also out on the way.


    Lei Cheng looked at Mo Qian¡¯s rosier complexion and asked with a chuckle, ¡± It seems that student Zhuang Xian is not only good at treating external injuries, but she is also an expert in adjusting one¡¯s health and complexion! ¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at Lei Cheng lightly, ignoring the teasing in his words. He only looked at Li Zhen and lowered his head slightly, saying softly and respectfully, ¡°Grandpa Li.¡±


    Li Zhen also looked at Mo Qian¡¯s refreshed face and smiled. Then, he raised his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go in together.¡±


    Mo Qian thought for a moment and followed him in. However, he did not forget to leave Mo Xi behind to continue to wait for Zhuang Xian to arrive.


    ¡°The air quality here is excellent. It¡¯s not bad to come over for a couple of days when I¡¯m free. I don¡¯t like the air and weather in the city. It¡¯s not as cool and comfortable as here!¡± Li Zhen chatted in a warm voice as he walked in front of the group.


    Lei Cheng nodded silently and replied with a respectful smile, ¡°In fact, the conditions in our base are perfect! Chief, if you like it, you can stay for a few more days. We welcome you very much!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Mo Qian, who was on the other side of Li Zhen. ¡°As for you, young master Mo, I won¡¯t try to persuade you any further! After all, you have to deal with many things every day, and you control such a big consortium. How can you have so much time to accompany us here to cultivate?¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled. ¡°Captain Lei, are you trying to drive me away? I didn¡¯t stay in your base for two days for nothing. You make it sound like I¡¯m a shameless person!¡±


    Li Zhen shook his head and laughed as he listened to the two bickerings. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that the two of you had such a good relationship!¡±


    Lei Cheng restrained some teasing on his face and quickly walked forward, leading Li Zhen and Mo Qian up to the second floor of the canteen. He smiled, ¡°Chief, you don¡¯t know this, but when Mo Qian bullied me in the past, he was ruthless.¡±


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian could not feel the carefree atmosphere around them. Ten minutes later, Mo Xi brought her upstairs to meet up with them.


    Zhuang Xian sat beside Mo Qian and looked up at old man Li, who had retracted his smile after seeing her. His expression slowly darkened.


    Naturally, Mo Qian did not miss the expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. He scooped a bowl of hot soup for Zhuang Xian and said gently, ¡°Your throat hasn¡¯t recovered yet. Drink some light soup to make you feel better.¡±


    Zhuang Xian accepted Mo Qian¡¯s care. She raised her hand to take the bowl of soup and slowly drank it. Her cute little head was buried in the soup just like that.


    Li Zhen sighed softly as if he had compromised. He poured Zhuang Xian a glass of warm water.


    He was just a little angry. While talking this afternoon, Zhuang Xian agreed to Lei Cheng¡¯s proposal without hesitation. She had no intention of discussing it with him at all!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries had not fully recovered, and she had even caught a cold yesterday. Li Zhen did not want her to continue with military training.


    He was also worried that Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t rational enough and would do something that would hurt her and also take revenge on those people!


    Li Zhen didn¡¯t know if Zhuang Xian had kept his words to heart or if she had reflected on them.


    If this child continued to be stubborn and did not care about her safety, Li Zhen knew he would not have the courage to hear about Zhuang Xian being injured a second time!


    Zhuang Xian held the glass of water and said softly, ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡±


    When Li Zhen heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice, he felt that she seemed to be in a better state than when he had first met her in the morning.

 Chapter 317 - 317 Chapter 317. Dont Mention it Again

    317 Chapter 317. Don¡¯t Mention it Again


    Li Zhen¡¯s expression softened as he said, ¡°Remember to take your medicine when you return after dinner. You sound much better than you did this morning.¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed lightly, not minding the old man¡¯s teasing words. She nodded obediently and agreed to her grandfather¡¯s instructions.


    ¡°It¡¯s good to be young. After your physical fitness became stronger, your tonsils, which were caused by a cold, improved quickly! Hahaha.¡± Lei Cheng chuckled.


    He looked at the old chief Li Zhen¡¯s face, which had been sullen the entire afternoon, and finally smiled. He slowly let out a long sigh of relief in his heart!


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Lei Cheng¡¯s words, she raised her head and looked at him indifferently. Thinking about the ¡®young¡¯ he had mentioned, Zhuang Xian turned her head and looked at Mo Qian beside her. Mo Qian should be 27 or 28 years old this year!


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t expect Mo Qian to be looking at her. When her eyes met his, she was stunned.


    Mo Qian saw the girl looking at him in a daze, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. He asked with slight doubt, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and shook her head. ¡°No.¡±


    As she spoke, she exhaled. After sizing Mo Qian¡¯s expression, she asked again, ¡°I see that your complexion has indeed improved. Have you taken the medicine you need to take before the meal? If there¡¯s anything on your body that¡¯s uncomfortable, please tell me now. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have to wait until the next acupuncture treatment!¡±


    ¡®After going back, I won¡¯t be able to use my phone again,¡¯ Zhuang Xian added this reason in her heart.


    Hearing this, Mo Qian nodded his head lightly, his beautiful Phoenix eyes slowly showing a hint of inquiry.


    He looked at the gauze on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and said gently, ¡°So, you¡¯ve decided to go back and continue your military training? But you haven¡¯t recovered from your injuries. Aren¡¯t the rules of your Academy a little too rigid?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m wonderful now. Don¡¯t worry about me anymore! Of course, I have to go back. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the other students.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Li Zhen, then turned to Mo Qian. She pursed her lips and added, ¡°Alright! From now on, no one is allowed to mention this matter. I¡¯ve already decided, and I won¡¯t change my mind.¡±


    Li Zhen, ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian for a long time and sighed softly. He said gently, ¡°Alright, since you¡¯ve already decided, I won¡¯t say anything more. If you need my help with anything, remember to let me know. I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became a little more charming after Mo Qian¡¯s words. Li Zhen saw through it but didn¡¯t say anything. He just smiled and ate the food in front of him.


    The food at Blue Eagle Base was indeed pretty good. Staying here until Zhuang Xian and Li Qin¡¯s military training ended seemed like a good choice! The highly respected old chief, Li Zhen, thought.


    Lei Cheng¡¯s intuition told him that he had been forced to show off his affection. Hence, he quietly observed the conversation between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian. His eyes flashed with a kind of gossip that he did not realize!


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian for a long while. After some thought, she evasively nodded her head.


    Under the current circumstances, it would be a little unreasonable if she didn¡¯t give Mo Qian some face!


    After all, Mo Qian had just done her a huge favor!


    Even though Zhuang Xian had never thought of asking Mo Qian to help her with these things, now that the deed was done, she couldn¡¯t possibly turn against him and repay him with resentment, correct? That was indeed a little too outrageous.


    There were times when Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t do anything to Mo Qian! She even began to think that with such an excellent and gentle man like Mo Qian, she should wait until she was 18 and become an adult and then directly submit to him! Now that she had such strong backing, was she afraid she couldn¡¯t take revenge?


    Zhuang Xian lowered her head as she ate, thinking about all these random things. Her intuition told her that she had fallen for him.


    Naturally, Mo Qian did not know what Zhuang Xian was thinking. Throughout the dinner, he cared for Zhuang Xian without making a sound. At least, the food in Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth was light and mild, without any discomfort.

 Chapter 318 - 318 Chapter 318. Small Tricks

    318 Chapter 318. Small Tricks


    After the meal, Li Zhen pulled Lei Cheng along and disappeared. If it was not for Mo Qian sitting beside her, Zhuang Xian wanted to open her mouth and give this old man, who was getting increasingly out of hand, a good scolding.


    ¡°I¡¯ll send you back to your dormitory first. After that, I still have to leave before the Base closes. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to stay here for another night.¡±


    The night breeze carried a slight chill, and when it brushed past Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian¡¯s faces, it seemed gentler.


    Zhuang Xian turned her head and glanced at Mo Qian beside her. ¡°Then you should hurry over now. Don¡¯t delay any further.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words were sincere, and her worries were also genuine. However, when these words fell into the ears of a particular young master, it became a completely different story.


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s silent expression, Zhuang Xian felt something was wrong. She added, ¡°I can go back by myself. The dormitory is not far from here.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s sexy and beautiful thin lips slowly curved into a smile. He looked at Zhuang Xian and said very gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Controlling the smart wheelchair, Mo Qian moved in front of Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian helplessly sighed and followed after him, not saying anything else. Although Mo Qian didn¡¯t say anything, his aura was scary.


    Feeling the footsteps behind him, Mo Qian moved the fingers of his left hand and pressed the switch under the armrest of the wheelchair. The wheelchair stopped immediately, and even the LCD control panel was turned off.


    Seeing that Mo Qian had suddenly stopped, Zhuang Xian walked to his side and asked with some doubt, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is it out of power?¡±


    Mo Qian nodded his head. ¡°I think so. Please give me a push. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian, ¡°¡­.¡±


    As if he could feel Zhuang Xian¡¯s speechlessness, Mo Qian lifted his extraordinarily handsome face and looked at the girl beside him. He explained, ¡°I¡¯m not heavy; you¡¯ll be able to push me!¡±


    Only now did Zhuang Xian realize that young master Mo¡¯s skin was thick. When he said something that was supposed to be awkward, it seemed more logical and convincing!


    Thinking about how he still had to rush out of the Base in a while, Zhuang Xian sighed slightly. She turned around, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, and pushed Mo Qian forward. She did not forget to complain, ¡°Whoever can be as calm and composed as you, with a calm and composed aura, will be extremely successful!¡±


    Pretending not to understand Zhuang Xian¡¯s sarcasm, Mo Qian chuckled and started to talk about another topic. ¡°I think many medicines you prepared for me are costly and rare. Thank you for your trouble! You can give me a list of things to look for, and I¡¯ll have people look for them. It¡¯ll save you the trouble of worrying about this problem.¡±


    Zhuang Xian thought about it and agreed with Mo Qian¡¯s suggestion. With him around, she didn¡¯t have to worry about not being able to find the medicinal herbs she wanted.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you the list of names the next time I do the acupuncture.¡± Zhuang Xian replied.


    Mo Qian nodded, listening to the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind. He said gently, ¡°The weather has been changing quickly recently. Remember to keep warm after you go back for military training. Don¡¯t fall sick again!¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± She said.


    Hearing the girl¡¯s perfunctory reply, Mo Qian broke into laughter. Looking at the flat road in front of him, he continued, ¡°When you come back from military training, I¡¯ll take you to the hot spring at Yunqi mountain, okay? Half a month later, the temperature would have dropped, and it would be just right. You don¡¯t know this, but when my grandmother was young, she loved that spring. She said that it had many special effects on the body. The scenery there is not bad, and we can eat some wild game at night. You should like it very much!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s voice was slow, warm, and pleasant.


    If this man didn¡¯t have such a strange disease in his legs, he would be the dream lover of many women in City H! The domineering CEO that charmed thousands of girls in novels or TV shows was probably referring to someone like him.


    He was rich and powerful, and he was also handsome. Most importantly, he had a gentle and gentlemanly personality and treated others refreshingly. He had all the skills of the best boyfriend!

 Chapter 319 - 319 Chapter 319. Cant Help it

    319 Chapter 319. Can¡¯t Help it


    A person like Mo Qian, commonly known by girls as a ¡®hexagonal warrior¡¯ boyfriend, meant that he had no flaws from head to toe, perfect like a perfect person!


    As Zhuang Xian thought about this, she sighed deeply and said in a low voice, ¡°Why are you so attentive to me? Why are you so nice to me?¡±


    The corridors of the base were hushed at night. Zhuang Xian¡¯s words were like an intimate whisper to Mo Qian as he heard them. His relaxed and happy expression just a moment ago gradually froze.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯ve told you I like you, right?¡± As Mo Qian spoke, he smiled gently. When the smile reached his eyes, it wasn¡¯t enjoyable. ¡°You can¡¯t hide your feelings for someone. I can¡¯t help but want to be good to you. I can¡¯t help it. I can¡¯t help it. I can¡¯t control it. ¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Mo Qian, she seemed to sigh softly.


    Mo Qian continued in a low voice, ¡°If I could, I don¡¯t want to like you so much. After all, you¡¯re only 16 years old. I really shouldn¡¯t pursue you so directly. But I always have a strange feeling when I¡¯m with you. I always feel that you¡¯re the same age as me! The heaviness of your soul and the calmness of your character all make me feel extraordinary! Sometimes, I feel like you¡¯re two separate people, yeah.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s movement in pushing the wheelchair froze slightly. Mo Qian turned his head slightly to look at Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and frowned slightly, ¡°Half of your face is that of a young girl, while the other half is like a heavy soul, ¡®old¡¯ and ¡®rotten¡¯ that is heavily tied by something! The secrets you have are not limited to what I know. You are a very mysterious person.


    Maybe you have some secrets in your heart that you can¡¯t tell outsiders. I¡¯ve always been very cooperative with you! If you don¡¯t tell me, I won¡¯t take the initiative to ask. But that doesn¡¯t mean I don¡¯t want to know. If possible, I still want to be your haven and trash can!¡±


    I like you, and I want you to like me! If it¡¯s because of some external conditions that make it difficult for you, I can also tell you that I¡¯m very willing to wait these two years! Won¡¯t you feel relieved?¡±


    Mo Qian wasn¡¯t usually a talkative person. On the contrary, he was a very gentlemanly and straightforward man. He was simple and clear, but of course, he was decisive!


    He would only become so careful when he met someone important to him. It would be more accurate to say that he was humble and cautious.


    Mo Qian¡¯s feelings for Zhuang Xian were no longer love. He felt that something even more obscure in the depths of Zhuang Xian¡¯s soul was attracting him. However, every time he was about to sense something, that thing would slowly disappear, leaving behind only a sense of regret and heartache.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t know why he felt this strange feeling, but he was more and more confident that he had fallen in love with this mysterious and soulful girl.


    Zhuang Xian knew that Mo Qian had always been honest, but tonight, Mo Qian had honestly shocked her! Because she felt as if Mo Qian had seen through her. However, this feeling of being seen through did not make her nervous or afraid. She only felt a little flustered.


    She had always felt that Mo Qian was an outstanding, reliable, and attractive man!


    In reality, when Zhuang Xian asked the question above, the line of defense in her heart was already on the verge of collapse. Mo Qian¡¯s methods of pursuing her were gentle and silent, and he was also careful with every step.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart would unconsciously move towards Mo Qian without her noticing. She was afraid of the uncontrollability of this emotion, so she repeatedly chose to be a ¡®Porcupine¡¯ when Mo Qian attacked her again and again. She kept her soft side and used her sharp thorns and coldness to resist Mo Qian!


    She had thought that Mo Qian would back off in the face of difficulties!


    However, did she think that way in her heart? No one seemed to know this, and no one knew because Zhuang Xian had hidden her heart very well.

 Chapter 320 - 320 Chapter 320. The Promise of Waiting

    320 Chapter 320. The Promise of Waiting


    However, Mo Qian¡¯s words were also very accurate. He said, ¡®You can¡¯t hide your feelings for someone! I can¡¯t help but want to be good to you; I can¡¯t help it; I can¡¯t control it!¡±


    Wouldn¡¯t this sentence be even more applicable to the two-faced and evasive Zhuang Xian?


    Her concern for Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury had even exceeded her deep-rooted desire for revenge at some point in time!


    She organized a treatment plan for Mo Qian, found all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, and tested and brewed the medicine without borrowing anyone¡¯s hands. She had done all these things secretly and without making a sound, but they had not escaped Mo Qian¡¯s eyes!


    Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t help but admit that Mo Qian¡¯s boiling a frog in warm water highly influenced her. She had already fallen into the tight web that Mo Qian had woven for her.


    Where else could she find such a considerate and gentle man who was always thinking about her? The last line of defense in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart crumbled into dust. She stopped in front of the dormitory building and took a few deep breaths before she called out, ¡°Mo Qian!¡±


    Mo Qian turned his wheelchair around and looked up at Zhuang Xian, who was calling his name. He asked gently, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m alive after two years and you still like me, I¡¯ll be with you.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at Mo Qian with a smile. The corners of her mouth curled up into a lovely arc.


    Fortunately, it was not raining that night. There was even a dim moonlight. Even under the dim streetlights, Mo Qian could see Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and the gentle and beautiful smile on her lips.


    Mo Qian felt that he would remember this smile for the rest of his life, profoundly imprinting it in his mind and never forgetting it.


    At this moment, the words that Zhuang Xian had said were like a bloody scar that had been torn open on her chest right in front of Mo Qian!


    What Mo Qian didn¡¯t know was that this scar was old. Someone must have lived here before, but this person never seemed to cherish this heart.


    Lies, deception, and exploitation had turned into sharp blades, cutting this place apart!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart, riddled with holes, seemed to have finally welcomed a ray of sunlight. Mo Qian was this warm and delicate ray of the sun!


    He had cut open the wound that Zhuang Xian had carelessly stitched up after her failed love in her previous life. Pus and blood accumulated over the years, and it looked very broken and terrible!


    She was indeed a girl who was doted on by the heavens. No one else in the world had the chance to start over like her.


    Being reborn was indeed a very satisfying thing. However, after one or two moments of avenging those significant hostilities, there was still endless waiting and pain.


    The humiliation and torture she had suffered in her past life had not been resolved. Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was still in pain and sadness. It was only then that Zhuang Xian realized that the pain and sorrow would not fade and disappear just because she had succeeded in her revenge. She was still trapped in the prison of hatred.


    A doctor indeed couldn¡¯t treat himself!


    Zhuang Xian understood this very well. She knew she had psychological problems but stubbornly refused to analyze them and figure out what they were for!


    It was like the backstabs and wounds that Gao Peng had left on her heart. Even if they were suppurated and blood accumulated, she did not do any treatment. She locked it in her heart as if it was the only way to remind her that she had to take revenge constantly.


    This method of torturing herself to gain clarity and rationality was something Zhuang Xian had been doing silently in her heart. She didn¡¯t know what would happen in the future if she softened her heart and compromised with Mo Qian now. She only felt she needed this promise that she had been waiting for Mo Qian to make.


    In fact, from the many details in the past, one could see that Zhuang Xian was different and abnormal.


    The first time she met Ye Xin and Shen Min after rebirth, she could still show some of her emotions. She wasn¡¯t as happy as she was now.


    Of course, judging from Zhuang Xian¡¯s current mental state, when she first met her enemy, her mental health was even much better than now!

 Chapter 321 - 321 Chapter 321. Alright, Ill Wait For You

    321 Chapter 321. Alright, I¡¯ll Wait For You


    Because at that time, Zhuang Xian could still let out the suppressed emotions in her heart. But later on, she suppressed all her anger and anxiety in the sea of her heart. There was no exit, only entry!


    This sounded very complicated, but Zhuang Xian was getting better at hiding herself. When faced with so many enemies, no matter what emotions she felt or what kind of state of mind she had, she would quietly digest them all by herself.


    She couldn¡¯t tell anyone about her rebirth, including her closest family.


    Zhuang Xian seemed to be invincible, but her heart had no exit.


    She thought that after getting her revenge and sorting out all the grudges and issues from her previous life, Mo Qian might be her last safe haven!


    As if he had finally heard the long-awaited good news, the surprise and joy in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes could not be hidden. The smile on his face covered the cloudy night sky. When it bloomed in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, it was like the boundless joy and comfort of the clouds parting to see the moon!


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard the man say this, she felt that this was the second time since her rebirth that she had heard such sweet and touching words! The first time was at Tianxin orphanage. Lin En had asked her, ¡°Are you willing to come home with me?¡±


    This world had once caused Zhuang Xian a lot of pain and hurt. However, after many years, it finally left some warmth and salvation for Zhuang Xian.


    Mo Qian watched as Zhuang Xian walked into the dormitory step by step. The smile that the girl gave him at the end looked extremely beautiful. Under the beautiful and tough shell, there seemed to be much more fragility and carefulness!


    Mo Qian naturally did not miss the premise of Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. When she said, ¡®If I¡¯m still alive in two years, Mo Qian could vaguely sense Zhuang Xian¡¯s compromise and concession. However, at the same time, he also had a bad feeling.


    Mo Xi followed behind Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian from a distance. When he saw the Zhuang family¡¯s daughter going upstairs, he quickly walked over. He was still holding the backup panel of the smart wheelchair in his hand. He was about to squat down and help Mo Qian change it when his young master stopped him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to change. Let them drive the car up, and we can leave.¡± As Mo Qian spoke, he opened the smart wheelchair¡¯s hatch and drove it away, leaving Mo Xi, holding the backup solar panels, alone in the night breeze!


    He turned his head to look at Mo Qian¡¯s wheelchair, which could move freely, and a considerable doubt flashed through his little head.


    This wheelchair, didn¡¯t it run out of power just now? Their young master had been pushed around by the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth miss. What was going on with him? Could it be that their young master¡¯s smart wheelchair had been developed uniquely and could be charged? This was too strange!


    Mo Qian realized that Mo Xi had not followed behind him. He stopped and turned back to look at him. What are you in a daze for? Let¡¯s hurry up and leave.¡±


    Mo Xi came back to his senses and followed after him. His palm could not help but touch the back of his head. When he walked to Mo Qian¡¯s side, Mo Xi could not help but ask, ¡°Young master, didn¡¯t your wheelchair run out of power just now? How could it move on its own now? Is there a problem? Do you want me to contact the person in charge to take a look after we go back?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s handsome expression was like an ancient well, calm and deep. ¡°No, don¡¯t worry about it. ¡±


    Mo Xi, who knew nothing about the relationship between men and women, naturally could not understand his young master¡¯s ¡®shameful¡¯ thoughts. He nodded respectfully. Yes, young master! The driver and the others are already waiting in front.¡±


    Mo Qian remained silent until he got into the car and left the Blue Eagle Base. He seemed to be in a strange mood.


    Mo Xi had seen the smile on the corner of his young master¡¯s mouth several times, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a complicated and obscure look!


    Mo family.


    Uncle Mo gestured for the servant beside him to place the warm water on the coffee table in front of Si Rong. With a faint smile, he said, ¡°Mo Xi just called home!¡±

 Chapter 322 - 322 Chapter 322. Zhuang Xian is Qing Yi?

    322 Chapter 322. Zhuang Xian is Qing Yi?


    ¡°Young master and the others will be back in 15 minutes at most! Young master Si, please have a seat and wait for a while. It¡¯s getting late, so I didn¡¯t prepare any tea for you. Please have a cup of warm water.¡± Uncle Mo said in a gentle voice.


    Si Rong nodded, put down his phone, and said, ¡°I know. I¡¯ve already sent him a message and told him I¡¯ll be waiting for him here!¡±


    As he spoke, a meaningful look flashed past his eyes. ¡°Uncle Mo, come over and sit. While we wait for Mo Qian, I have something to ask you.


    Butler Mo smiled gently and took two steps closer to Si Rong. However, he didn¡¯t sit on the sofa at the side as Si Rong had said because he was very clear about his current identity, and what he should and shouldn¡¯t do!


    He looked at Si Rong, sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile, ¡°Young master Si, if you have anything to ask, ask! As long as it¡¯s something I know, I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡±


    Seeing that Uncle Mo was still sticking to the rules, Si Rong didn¡¯t make things difficult for him. He nodded and asked softly, ¡°You¡¯re saying that Mo Qian hasn¡¯t been home for the past two days? Instead, he¡¯s gone to the Blue Eagle Base in the suburbs?¡±


    Uncle Mo nodded. ¡°Yes, young master Si! The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter has recently gone there for military training; our young master went to see her. ¡±


    He responded to Si Rong¡¯s question and suddenly sighed softly. ¡°Speaking of which, I¡¯m sure that our young master found out about the green-robed apothecary from the Saint valley Medicine not long ago. You and young master Xiang Nan probably didn¡¯t know about it. ¡±


    Si Rong was stunned when he heard that. He widened his eyes slightly and looked at Uncle Mo with surprise. ¡°He¡¯s found it? When did this happen? Why haven¡¯t I heard Mo Qian mention it to us?¡±


    The Mo family¡¯s search for Saint Valley Medicine in the entire country Z was not a big secret in the upper-class circle of City H. Everyone knew about this.


    As one of Mo Qian¡¯s best friends, Si Rong naturally knew how important this matter was to Mo Qian.


    When he asked Uncle Mo the last question, he already had the answer. Based on his understanding of Mo Qian, he should have guessed that Mo Qian must be afraid that this opportunity would be another fantasy, so he kept it a secret from everyone!


    The silk pouch grandmother Mo had requested from master Yin Yun on cloud perch mountain was, in fact, just a message of comfort! Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was something that even modern medicine couldn¡¯t solve. Did they have to rely on the mysterious Saint Valley Medicine?


    Mo Qian¡¯s grandmother had been a vegetarian and a Buddhist all year round, so it was understandable that she believed in such things. Mo Qian was a stubborn man who would not easily give up any chance to stand up again. Even if he did not take the initiative to say it, Si Rong and Xiang Nan, his best brothers, would not pretend they did not know about it!


    Xiang Nan believed in master Yin Yun¡¯s words, but Si Rong wasn¡¯t superstitious.


    In his eyes, the search for Saint Valley Medicine was more of a psychological help to Mo Qian than a practical one! Si Rong had always been an extraordinarily clear-headed and rational person.


    Therefore, when Uncle Mo told him about this, he was surprised and suspicious. While he was worried that Mo Qian would fail again, he was also very curious about who this Saint Valley¡¯s Qing Yi was.


    He seemed to have thought of something, but he immediately reacted and asked anxiously, ¡°So, is Mo Qian going to Blue Eagle Base to find Zhuang Xian or that so-called Qing Yi? Why did you link up the whole story just now? What are you trying to say, Uncle Mo?¡±


    Uncle Mo chuckled and nodded approvingly. He looked at Si Rong with admiration in his eyes. ¡°Young master Si, you¡¯re so smart. I only mentioned it briefly, and you¡¯ve already guessed so much! Our young master went to Blue Eagle to find the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter and, at the same time, treat his leg!¡±


    Si Rong didn¡¯t understand. He furrowed his brows and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s going to treat him? Zhuang Xian? Do you mean that Zhuang Xian is the so-called Qing Yi?¡±

 Chapter 323 - 323 Chapter 323. Uncle Mos Pity

    323 Chapter 323. Uncle Mo¡¯s Pity


    Si Rong¡¯s tone of voice was filled with surprise. It seemed like he had never considered linking Zhuang Xian and Qing Yi to the same person, so he was a little dazed.


    ¡°Miss Zhuang treats our young master¡¯s leg, but she¡¯s not the green-robed holy maiden.¡± Uncle Mo explained when he saw that Si Rong was indeed confused.


    He saw that Si Rong was still confused, So he repeated everything Mo Qian had said.


    He also knew that his young master didn¡¯t have many friends like Si Rong, whom he knew very well. If he had to hide the truth from the only two, Mo Qian would suffer too much. The young master was under a lot of pressure. If he could vent his stress, things would probably be much better.


    Uncle Mo thought Si Rong was the best choice, so he informed him about this. No matter what the outcome of his young master¡¯s return was, as long as Si Rong was around, his young master would have someone to vent his anger on.


    How could an intelligent person like Si Rong not understand the true meaning behind Uncle Mo¡¯s careful actions?


    Si Rong looked deeply at Uncle Mo. After a long while, he nodded and replied, ¡°I understand what you mean, Uncle Mo. I¡¯ll have a good chat with Mo Qian later, don¡¯t worry!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Uncle Mo nodded in relief. He sighed and continued, ¡°Our young master¡¯s life has been glorious, admired, and respected by thousands of people, but also the loneliest and toughest. He¡¯s lucky to have a friend like you for a lifetime!¡±


    He seemed to have thought of something as he spoke, and tears welled up in his eyes. Without waiting for Si Rong¡¯s reply, he lowered his head and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go outside to see if the young master has returned. Young master Si, please have a seat!


    Si Rong looked at Uncle Mo¡¯s slightly bent back and sighed softly. Time could not afford to be wasted.


    Before his mother died from her illness, Mo Wei was still doing business in the country. Uncle Mo was one of his capable assistants. Uncle Mo was also a sharp, decisive, and influential man in the past! Now, he was old.


    Affected by Uncle Mo¡¯s emotions, Si Rong recalled many past things. In his memory, he didn¡¯t seem particularly happy at any point in time. The things that he had to bear were things that ordinary people couldn¡¯t understand or imagine.


    During the current season in City H, the temperature at night dropped very quickly. Mo Qian¡¯s body was covered in cold air when he entered the room. He looked up and searched for Si Rong on the sofa in the living room. When he saw Si Rong, he said softly, ¡°Are you alone? I thought Xiang Nan would be here too.¡±


    He casually removed his clothes and moved over to Si Rong.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know where he¡¯s been recently. I haven¡¯t seen him in a long time. You¡¯re not any better! If it weren¡¯t for me finding out that I hadn¡¯t seen you for a few days and specially used my off-work time to visit you, I wouldn¡¯t have known that you hadn¡¯t been home for two days.¡±


    Mo Qian looked at si Rong helplessly and said, ¡°I only said one sentence, and you¡¯re already scolding me. What¡¯s wrong? Did things not go well in the Department again? It can¡¯t be a small matter if it can make you so angry, right?¡±


    After saying that, Si Rong picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of the water before saying, ¡°Yeah, all kinds of misfortunes! Forget it; let¡¯s not talk about that terrible thing. You should hurry up and report the progress of your pursuit! I heard that you even chased her to the military training Base. Not bad!¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at Si Rong, who seemed incredibly excited tonight, and chuckled. He raised his hand to take the water and medicine that Mo Xi handed him. He lifted his head and gulped it down before replying, ¡°Then your news is a bit outdated. I went to Lei Cheng¡¯s place, not just to chase after her!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked up and smiled at Si Rong. There was a gloating and joy in his eyes that he could not hide.


    ¡°Oh! Is Lei Cheng there too?¡± Si Rong had been staring at Mo Qan¡¯s face the entire time, so he naturally didn¡¯t miss the smug look on his face.

 Chapter 324 - 324 Chapter 324. Brothers

    324 Chapter 324. Brothers


    Curious, Si Rong inched closer to Mo Qian, the corners of his mouth curled up into a gossipy smile. He asked softly, ¡°You seem to be in a good mood! Why? The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss finally agreed to your pursuit. Young master Mo, you¡¯ve managed to hold on until the clouds have parted and the moon is bright?¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled as he looked at Si Rong. After shaking his head, he added, ¡°Not yet, but it¡¯s just a matter of time. Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    The calm and collected Mo Qian now differed from how he usually talked about Zhuang Xian. It was as if he had gained some confidence. With this thought in mind, Si Rong took another deep look at Mo Qian as if he had already guessed something!


    He chuckled and nodded, ¡°Alright, I understand! This year, Zhuang Xian is only 16 or 17 years old. You old hooligan, you really shouldn¡¯t push her too hard. It¡¯s easy to have the opposite effect, and you should be careful that she doesn¡¯t think of you as a middle-aged greasy, overconfident uncle!¡±


    Si Rong rarely spoke to Mo Qian in such a manner. It was rare for Mo Qian to be so happy today, so he joked with him. Usually, it was someone else who was in such a position.


    She wasn¡¯t at the scene, but Si Rong somehow missed her.


    Mo Qian chuckled. He didn¡¯t seem to mind Si Rong¡¯s teasing. He glanced at the pendulum clock in the living room and said to Si Rong, ¡°Have you eaten? Do you want me to get to the kitchen to prepare something to eat? We can drink some more.¡±


    Si Rong was slightly taken aback, but he quickly regained his senses.


    Naturally, he would not object to Mo Qian¡¯s suggestion. After seeing Mo Qian nod, he said he was fine with anything. However, he still thought that Mo Qian seemed exceptionally happy today. He had never liked drinking but had taken the initiative to ask for a drink or two.


    Strange things happened every day, but there were a lot of them today!


    If it weren¡¯t for that Mo Qian being the only one who had walked in, and Zhuang Xian hadn¡¯t appeared beside him, Si Rong would have thought that Zhuang Xian had already agreed to be with him!


    The night was cold as water, and the moon was clear. Mo Qian and Si Rong sat behind a large glass wall, admiring the scenery in the courtyard.


    Mo Qian raised the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and said, ¡°It¡¯s rare that it¡¯s only the two of us today. It¡¯s much quieter without Xiang Nan. ¡±


    Si Rong chuckled and put down his wine glass. He looked at Mo Qian and chuckled. ¡°Fortunately, Xiang Nan isn¡¯t here. Otherwise, he would be sad and make a scene again!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at the wine glass beside him, which was still filled with red liquid, and joked, ¡°I thought you meant white wine! Also, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s weird for two grown men to sit together and drink red wine in the middle of the night? I don¡¯t want you to think of me as some pretty little girl!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian chuckled and looked at Si Rong. He replied, ¡°Hurry up and drink. I¡¯m serving you this bottle of red wine, and you dare to despise it? You¡¯d better shut your mouth and stop talking!¡±


    Si Rong laughed heartily and retracted his gaze. He turned to look out the glass wall. ¡°Seeing you¡¯re so happy today, I won¡¯t argue with you anymore! Tell me, what¡¯s on your mind that you want to discuss with me?¡±


    The smile on mo Qian¡¯s face slowly froze. A few seconds later, he turned away from Si Rong and quietly drank the wine in his glass.


    That mouthful was quite a lot. Thinking of Zhuang Xian¡¯s request, Mo Xi¡¯s heart slowly hung in the air. He gritted his teeth and held back the words that he wanted to say.


    On the way back, their young master seemed to be in a very complicated mood. Mo Xi didn¡¯t understand why, but when he saw that young master Si Rong was also there, he heaved a sigh of relief!


    He thought that with Si Rong around, his young master would be a lot happier. Everything seemed fine, so why did the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere suddenly change?


    ¡°I really can¡¯t hide anything from you.¡± Mo Qian said as he put down his wine glass. As he was about to pour himself another drink, Si Rong stopped him!


    ¡°Don¡¯t drink so fast. I¡¯m off tomorrow, so I have plenty of time to listen to you today. You can say whatever you want; I¡¯m listening!¡± Si Rong released Mo Qian¡¯s hand after he finished speaking.

 Chapter 325 - 325 Chapter 325. Mo Qian is Confident

    325 Chapter 325. Mo Qian is Confident


    Si Rong straightened his back and looked straight at Mo Qian. He asked softly, ¡°Your mood is fluctuating so much. Is it related to your leg injury? Or is it related to the Holy maiden Qing Yi? Or is there something else that I don¡¯t know?¡±


    Mo Qian raised his head and glanced at Si Rong with a slightly puzzled expression. After some thought, he said, ¡°Did Uncle Mo tell you I¡¯ve found traces of the Saint Valley Medicine?¡±


    Without waiting for Si Rong¡¯s reply, he nodded and continued, ¡°That¡¯s true. It seems like there¡¯s nothing I can hide from you. This is something that you¡¯ll find out sooner or later.¡±


    ¡°From your expression when you came back, the treatment result shouldn¡¯t be too bad! What about you and Zhuang Xian? There¡¯s been some clear progress, but why do you still look so troubled?¡± Si Rong waited for Mo Qian to finish his words before he asked in a deep and calm voice.


    The bright light shone on Mo Qian¡¯s face, making him look distant and cold for no reason. His eyes were looking out of the glass wall, and after a light sigh, he said, ¡°Do you think there¡¯s a kind of person in this world whose mental and spiritual maturity far exceeds her actual age? When you¡¯re with her, you¡¯ll subconsciously ignore her childish appearance. Instead, you¡¯ll pay more attention to and care for her heavy soul.


    Is there such a person? Wouldn¡¯t such a person be a little strange? She seemed to be carrying and entwined with haze and constraints you couldn¡¯t see, grasp, or understand. Her entire heart seemed to have accumulated a lot of gloominess! But on the surface, it looks very bright and lively!¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he poured himself some wine. After taking a sip, he turned to look at Si Rong, who was sitting opposite him, with reddened eyes. He smiled bitterly and asked in confusion, ¡°Si Rong, do you think such a person would be strange?¡±


    Si Rong had been quietly and attentively listening to Mo Qian the entire time.


    After listening to Mo Qian¡¯s description of a person, the image of another person involuntarily emerged in his mind.


    Si Rong had never thought that Zhuang Xian had such an image in Mo Qian¡¯s heart. Through Zhuang Xian¡¯s exquisite appearance, Mo Qian had seen such a rich and profound Zhuang Xian. It seemed like Mo Qian loved Zhuang Xian!


    There was no doubt that Zhuang Xian was a unique girl. She was indeed a very calm and independent person who did things in a very organized manner. She was a beautiful girl with her ideas, but there didn¡¯t seem anything special or strange about her. Si Rong thought.


    If Si Rong had to be specific, he would only think that Zhuang Xian was a mature, capable, and creative girl. He wouldn¡¯t be like Mo Qian, who believed that Zhuang Xian was a mysterious and fantasizing girl!


    ¡°So, the saying ¡®Those in love are all poets¡¯ is not a lie!¡± Si Rong teased, pretending to be relaxed. He was trying to ease the gloomy atmosphere, significantly helping Mo Qian reduce his complicated and depressed mood.


    Mo Qian chuckled but didn¡¯t reply to Si Rong.


    Si Rong took a sip of wine before continuing, ¡°Maybe. Isn¡¯t this world full of wonders? The kind of person you speak of is naturally not considered strange because no matter if it is a person or an object, as long as there is a cause and effect, there is a reason behind it! In this world, nothing happens for no reason. We don¡¯t understand why. Maybe it¡¯s just that we don¡¯t know the story behind it. There¡¯s nothing to be depressed about!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned around and met mo Qian¡¯s eyes. He smiled and said, ¡°With your abilities, Mo Qian, if you want to know something, who can stop you?¡±


    As Si Rong spoke, he slowly thought, ¡°Therefore, Mo Qian must have believed that Zhuang Xian had some other secret past that he did not know about! In Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Xian was probably a mystery, a blind box filled with huge surprises!

 Chapter 326 - 326 Chapter 326. Psychology

    326 Chapter 326. Psychology


    In the past, Si Rong had never expected Mo Qian to be so considerate when he liked someone.


    Mo Qian stared at Si Rong for a long while. When Si Rong snapped him back to his senses by snapping his fingers at Mo Qian, Mo Qian seemed to have woken up from a dream.


    ¡°Are my words so profound and difficult to understand? Why do I feel like you¡¯ve fallen in?¡± Si Rong didn¡¯t understand the meaning in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes and called out to him, bringing him back to his senses.


    Hearing Si Rong¡¯s complaints, Mo Qian raised his hand to press on his throbbing forehead before replying, ¡°I¡¯m indeed a little trapped! I remember that psychology was your secondary major in college, right?¡±


    Si Rong nodded. ¡°Yes. What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    However, Mo Qian suddenly fell into a strange silence after asking that question. He slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, ¡°Nothing, I just suddenly thought of it, so I was asking. Thank you for drinking with me today and listening to me talk so much nonsense!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Si Rong was silent for a few seconds before he looked at Mo Qian and smiled gently. ¡°If you think that¡¯s nonsense, then it¡¯s nonsense! Whether as a friend or a doctor, I will not leak what you don¡¯t want others to know to others. I have this bit of professionalism, don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Mo Qian laughed, his eyes filled with peace and warmth. He looked at Si Rong and said, ¡°This is the biggest difference between you and Xiang Nan. As a friend, you are the most likable!¡±


    Si Rong raised his head and finished the last drop of wine in his glass. He chuckled and looked at Mo Qian. ¡°That¡¯s enough! Seeing how you¡¯re always flattering me and talking to me, you must be a little drunk, right? Otherwise, it wasn¡¯t easy to hear you praise me like in the past. It¡¯s getting late; you should rest early; I¡¯m going home!¡±


    As Si Rong spoke, his eyes had already turned red from the alcohol. He had spoken a lot to Mo Qian that night, so he naturally had to drink a lot too!


    Their alcohol tolerance was not particularly bad. Mo Qian had been in the business circle for many years and was also an old fox in the drinking field. It was also because of his mood today that he got drunk so quickly.


    Mo Qian supported his head with his hand and gently waved at him, indicating that he would not get up to send him off. His attitude was very natural and indifferent. He directly sent his good friend away, not caring whether the other party was a trash can that had been worrying him the whole night. He was a ¡®good friend¡¯ who would be thrown away after ¡®falling out¡¯!


    Si Rong shook his head and chuckled. He stood up helplessly.


    He looked at Mo Qian¡¯s hand, which was holding his forehead, and his eyes were filled with sincerity and concern. ¡°No matter what, I think today should be considered a small turning point in your life. Whether it¡¯s Qing Yi or Zhuang Xian, Xiang Nan and I are very grateful to them for giving you new hope!¡±


    ¡°I want to see you stand up again! Xiang Nan and I can¡¯t help you with your leg injury. I want you to know that no matter what happens in the future, we will always stand behind and support you.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian put down the hand covering his face and looked up at Si Rong with a smile.


    As Si Rong spoke, he felt tipsy and started to mock himself. ¡°I know I¡¯m a little mushy, don¡¯t say anything! You don¡¯t have to see me off; I have a driver waiting for me!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s rare to see you so mushy.¡± Mo Qian lazily raised the corner of his handsome eyebrows and joked. However, his beautiful and deep eyes were full of smiles and gratification.


    Mo Qian raised his hand and gestured to Mo Xi behind him to see Si Rong off safely. He sat alone in his original spot, feeling very drunk.


    The reason why Mo Qian had suddenly asked Si Rong about the psychology he had learned in school was to ask him what kind of circumstances would a person have to face before they would say something like, ¡®If I¡¯m still alive two years later and you still like me, then I¡¯ll be with you¡¯.


    It was like a declaration to cut off all means of retreat, but it also seemed like she wanted to leave a reason for herself to live after being put to death!

 Chapter 327 - 327 Chapter 327. A different Feeling

    327 Chapter 327. A different Feeling


    Mo Qian wanted to convince himself that he was overthinking it!


    Perhaps Zhuang Xian¡¯s words were not so complicated and obscure. She was saying it normally. Life was unpredictable. It was true that one could not predict what would happen the next day, let alone what would happen two years later!


    If that were the case, then Zhuang Xian¡¯s ¡®If I¡¯m still alive after two years¡¯ would not be that strange anymore, right?


    However, Mo Qian couldn¡¯t completely ignore the look in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes when she looked at him. It was a very, very serious look!


    He couldn¡¯t figure out the reason behind this, so he thought that perhaps he could try to analyze Zhuang Xian¡¯s inner world from a psychological level. However, a voice in his heart was telling him that this might be Zhuang Xian¡¯s biggest secret. Since he had promised to help Zhuang Xian keep this secret, he couldn¡¯t do it now!


    He thought that if he had asked about Zhuang Xian¡¯s secret, he would have been handing the information to Si Rong. That was indeed inappropriate!


    Hence, Mo Qian quickly sealed his mouth and gently brought up the topic that he felt was a little less dangerous.


    Mo Qian had always been this restrained in front of Zhuang Xian.


    Uncle Mo looked at his young master¡¯s lazy and depressed state and slowly walked up to him. He opened his mouth and called out softly, ¡°Young master? Young master! You¡¯re drunk; let me help you upstairs to rest.¡±


    Mo Qian nodded subconsciously, allowing Uncle Mo to push him out of the place.


    Zhuang Xian, lying on the bed in her dormitory, thought she would have insomnia again after all the good things she had just experienced. However, the situation had exceeded her expectations. When she thought of the words that a specific gentle and loving person had said to her, Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart inexplicably felt more at ease!


    Thus, after closing her eyes for a while, Zhuang Xian fell into a deep sleep. She was unaware of Mo Qian¡¯s complicated emotions and the intimate conversation between the two brothers.


    It was already the fourth day of military training for the new students at Saint Capital University. When Zhuang Xian returned to the training ground, the training method changed.


    She looked at the disheveled students in the crowd and focused on finding the person she cared about.


    After Lei Cheng handed Zhuang Xian over to Luo Fei, he left the forest without hesitation. He completely ignored the hateful eyes of some new students who were still cynical about the world.


    Of course, this included the extremely miserable Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin. They were helpless and had no choice but to comply with this challenging situation!


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s sprained ankle was barely stabilized with the doctor¡¯s help at the supply point. She had not fully recovered, but she would not be a burden to the team.


    Ye Xin¡¯s complexion looked even worse than Zhuang Jie¡¯s. Her face was covered in dust and filth, and she no longer had the aura and dignity of a wealthy young lady.


    Li Qin¡¯s eyes were locked on his sister Xian when she appeared. He squinted his eyes and studied Zhuang Xian for a while. He slowly felt relieved when he saw that Zhuang Xian was in a good state.


    ¡°I told you sister Xian would be fine! Look, brother Qin, she¡¯s back safe and sound!¡± Zhang Yang stood in the party and whispered to Li Qin.


    Lin Feng was overjoyed to see Zhuang Xian return safe and sound. He said, ¡°Brother Qin, you shouldn¡¯t be so worried about someone as amazing as sister Xian! It¡¯s not a good feeling to live in fear these two days, right?¡±


    Li Qin curled his lips slightly and pretended to be indifferent as he said, ¡°Who says I¡¯m worried about her? I¡¯m not!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at Li Qin¡¯s angry appearance and shook his head slightly. He laughed and said, ¡°You¡¯re just being stubborn.¡±


    Li Qin didn¡¯t want to bother with these two people who kept on sabotaging him. He sighed and stared at Zhuang Xian.


    Luo Fei brought Zhuang Xian back to their 50-man squad and pointed in the direction of Li Qin¡¯s team. ¡°Return to your team.¡±


    Zhuang Xian carried her combat bag and nodded her head with a relaxed expression. ¡°Yes, squad monitor!¡±


    Luo Fei sized up the girl¡¯s face without saying a word. The white plaster on the wound made him lose his focus. Zhuang Xian¡¯s injured face did not seem to affect her overall beauty!

 Chapter 328 - 328 Chapter 328. The Class Confrontation

    328 Chapter 328. The Class Confrontation


    The white plaster on Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile made her entire face look even fairer and more delicate. There was also an indescribable sense of mystery and fragility. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking!


    After Zhuang Xian joined the group, Zhang Yang was the first to speak to her. ¡°Sister Xian, you¡¯re finally back! We¡¯ve missed you so much these past two days! You weren¡¯t here yesterday, so you don¡¯t know how badly the people from Team B beat us up! The squad monitor¡¯s face has been sullen the whole day. I¡¯m terrified that he¡¯ll kill us!¡±


    Zhuang Xian glanced at Li Qin, who was ignoring her, and asked, ¡°Oh? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhang Yang immediately told Zhuang Xian everything that happened yesterday, including the change in the rules of their military training. He even complained to Zhuang Xian about Team B!


    ¡°Since yesterday afternoon, our cross-country hiking military training has been upgraded. From the original pure cross-country training, it has been changed to a battle between teams and factions! Team B is in the same line as our team, which is in front of us!¡±


    After listening to Zhang Yang¡¯s report and explanation, Zhuang Xian raised her eyes and looked at the team opposite her. She was not short, so she was not hindered when she looked at the few girls standing before them.


    ¡°Sister Xian, did you see that? Half of the people in Team B are new students in our sports department. Most of our team are art students, so we are not as good as them in physical strength and professional combat! In the first round of confrontation yesterday, our team was beaten so badly!¡±


    As Zhang Yang spoke, he glanced at Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin, far from them. He added, ¡°When we were being chased by Team B, the slowest runners in our class were almost ¡®killed¡¯ by the other party! If it weren¡¯t for the squad monitor¡¯s extremely high personal combat quality, even firmly surpassing the Team B squad monitor¡¯s, those students who only dragged us down would already have gone!¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned to look at Zhang Yang and asked with interest, ¡°So what happens after being ¡®killed¡¯ by the enemy? Are we going to be eliminated and leave the Saint Capital?¡±


    Zhang Yang did not expect such a reaction from Zhuang Xian. He was stunned for a moment and did not have the time to answer her question.


    ¡°We only have to pay a portion of our resources to the other party. We haven¡¯t reached the point where we need to be eliminated!¡± Li Qin added.


    He turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Xian. He let out a breath of air and said helplessly, ¡°Do you think this cross-country confrontation is of the same standard as the military? With these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, did they want to have a real cross-country confrontation? This was a joke! What are you thinking about? Are your injuries all healed yet? Aren¡¯t you afraid you¡¯ll break your other arm when you return for military training?¡±


    Li Qin held back the ¡®resentment¡¯ that he had after that. Although he was still angry with Zhuang Xian, he would not embarrass her in front of everyone.


    Vaguely, Zhuang Xian could feel a lot of resentment from Li Qin. Zhuang Xian herself laughed inwardly.


    Lin Feng could not understand Li Qin¡¯s reaction. He did not understand why his attitude towards Zhuang Xian had suddenly become so cold. It seemed like he was angry at Zhuang Xian!


    This was a little unbelievable. From their interactions over the past few days, he could tell that Li Qin was very protective and trusting of Zhuang Xian. Li Qin admired and liked their sister Xian, but this change was a little strange!


    Lin Feng was not the only one who felt the same way. Zhang Yang looked at Li Qin with a strange look, then turned to look at the silent and expressionless Zhuang Xian. After thinking about it carefully, he followed his instinct and did not dare to say anything.


    He felt that the atmosphere between brother Qin and sister Xian was a little strange. This was not something that their underlings could interfere with. Zhang Yang knew his limits.


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang did not know the truth behind An Ye¡¯s attack on Zhuang Xian! Therefore, they naturally could not understand why Li Qin was so angry at Zhuang Xian!


    When Zhuang Xian joined the team, she had already noticed something was wrong with Li Qin.

 Chapter 329 - 329 Chapter 329. Concealing Ones Strength and Biding Ones Time

    329 Chapter 329. Concealing One¡¯s Strength and Biding One¡¯s Time


    Right now, Li Qin was still at the stage of throwing a tantrum with her. After Zhuang Xian thought about it, she silently turned her head away. She did not want to touch Li Qin¡¯s bad luck at this inappropriate time!


    She didn¡¯t want him to hold a grudge and continue to criticize her in front of so many people.


    Fortunately, Luo Fei also announced the content of today¡¯s military training.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian in the crowd and said, ¡°The content of today¡¯s combat is the same as yesterday¡¯s. The only difference is that after being captured today, one has to pay twice the amount of yesterday¡¯s supplies in exchange for the captives!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced indifferently at Zhuang Jie, Ye Xin, and the other art students standing at the back of the line. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Having to hand over supplies is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter! I won¡¯t allow anyone to drag our class down. You must remember that every day during military training, your performance and actions will directly affect your final results after the training! I can help you once or twice, but I won¡¯t help you every time. I¡¯m not here to be your nanny! Do you understand?¡±


    As soon as Luo Fei¡¯s lecture ended, the students responded in unison, ¡°Understood, Squad monitor!¡±


    Zhuang Xian sized up the students around her and keenly noticed the change in everyone. They were no longer the students who had been dragging their feet when they gathered in the school a few days ago. Everyone seemed to have changed a lot without them knowing.


    Of course, this ¡®Everyone¡¯ did not include those who had never corrected their mentality!


    Zhuang Jie glared at Zhuang Xian, who was at the far right of the line. After taking a deep breath, she said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°She came back safe and sound. Her injuries aren¡¯t even as serious as my ankle sprain! Why did the Squad monitor and Chief Instructor agree to let her go back and recuperate? I really can¡¯t figure it out!¡±


    ¡°The reason why Zhuang Xian could return to the base the day before yesterday wasn¡¯t purely because of her injuries. She probably went out with them to cooperate with the school and the police in their investigation! She¡¯s probably done by now; that¡¯s why she¡¯s back!¡± Ye Xin furrowed her brows as she looked away from Zhuang Xian and spoke in a low voice.


    Ye Xin, who could not know what was happening in the outside world, could only get some peripheral information from Luo Fei. She tried to predict how this matter would develop, but she realized the results weren¡¯t favorable for them!


    Regardless of whether An Ye¡¯s injuries were good or bad, light or heavy, Zhuang Xian would not let An Ye go when she had the chance to counterattack!


    An Ye was now a person who couldn¡¯t be more useless! At the moment, she and Zhuang Jie were weak and no longer able to fight against Zhuang Xian. For the next two weeks of military training, it was best that they did not provoke Zhuang Xian.


    But how could there be such a thing in this world that Ye Xin would be pleased with? She wanted to avoid Zhuang Xian¡¯s attack for the time being and bide her time preparing for her subsequent counterattack against Zhuang Xian.


    But Zhuang Xian would not give them a chance to catch their breath, let alone let them off so quickly!


    After the military training mission was issued, Luo Fei led his class into the forest behind them. He had familiarized himself with the forest since the day before so that he could walk with ease now.


    As for the Team B students who entered the forest at the same time as them, when they brushed past them, their expressions and eyes were filled with pride. Team B¡¯s overall quality was much better than Zhuang Xian¡¯s Team A!


    This was the truth. Zhuang Xian had already seen through it just now!


    However, this didn¡¯t mean that Zhuang Xian could tolerate it. With the ugly expressions on their faces, she looked at the few boys who were spitting and glaring daggers at her team. Zhuang Xian stepped out of the line and rushed forward to block their way.


    Zhuang Xian was still the vice Squad monitor of Team A, so her classmates respected her. After calling her ¡°Vice Squad monitor ¡± a few times, they straightened their backs a little! They had personally seen Zhuang Xian slaughter a wild boar with such ease! That powerful combat strength was probably enough to compete with the Squad monitor!

 Chapter 330 - 330 Chapter 330. B Teams Provocation

    330 Chapter 330. B Team¡¯s Provocation


    The people from Team B heard them calling Zhuang Xian ¡°Vice Squad monitor. Three burly boys saw this and laughed wretchedly. They whistled at Zhuang Xian a few times; their tones were teasing.


    Zhuang Xian looked at them, her eyes turning cold.


    When the people in front of them saw that Zhuang Xian had no reaction and was still staring at them silently, they became even more interested. The tallest one among them said, ¡°You¡¯re the Vice squad monitor of Team A? And I thought you were some powerful figure. So you¡¯re just a beauty. What¡¯s wrong with your face? She¡¯s so good-looking; please don¡¯t disfigure her! That would be a pity, and my brothers will be heartbroken! Hahaha!¡±


    He and the other boys beside him started to laugh as he spoke. There was no concern in his tone as a teammate, only some disgusting and nauseating teasing!


    Before Zhuang Xian could react, Li Qin, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yang, who had rushed out from behind her, were already staring at these people with dark expressions!


    ¡°You¡¯d better watch your mouth and attitude! Did you eat shit for breakfast? You¡¯re full of shit!¡± Li Qin walked to Zhuang Xian¡¯s left and shouted at the people in front of him.


    When they heard Li Qin¡¯s words, they immediately stopped and stood in the middle of the group.


    Zhuang Xian stood still and glanced at Li Qin beside her. Then, she turned around and looked coldly at the people who were about to make a move.


    This was because Zhuang Xian¡¯s group was already at the end of the line. Now that they had stopped, it was as if the long dragon had lost its tail!


    Luo Fei was the first to notice the situation. He glanced at the Squad monitor of Team B and motioned for them to go over and take a look. The Squad monitor of Team B nodded gently and agreed.


    ¡°Who the hell are you talking to? Are you looking for death? It¡¯s because I didn¡¯t beat your team up yesterday, and you still dare to be arrogant in front of our Team B today! Who gave you the courage to do that? Do you know that I can strangle you to death with one finger?¡± the tall boy said with a fierce expression.


    ¡°I think they want us to teach them a lesson! There¡¯s someone who¡¯s not afraid of death who wants to challenge our Team B? Do you know who you¡¯re talking to?¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled faintly and asked sarcastically, ¡°With who?¡±


    The girl¡¯s indifferent and cold chuckle was like a pure cold flower carrying deadly poison. It was so beautiful that it made people envy and look up to it, but it also felt hazardous!


    The boys were taken aback by Zhuang Xian¡¯s question. They did not expect the girl to ask such a question in such a straightforward manner. This kind of verbal threat wasn¡¯t supposed to be like this. How could an average person ask someone who they were in such a severe and direct manner?


    They felt a lump in their throats, and took a while to recover from their scolding. ¡°I see you¡¯re a beautiful girl, so I¡¯m being so polite to you! If you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, I¡¯ll make you regret it!¡±


    ¡°How are you? You want to make a move?¡± Li Qin¡¯s face was cold as he looked at the man indifferently. The simulated combat rifle on his back had already been thrown behind him.


    He raised his right hand and smiled provocatively at the other party. ¡°Come on! You¡¯ll only have the right to fight my sister Xian if you can get past me today!¡±


    Zhuang Xian sighed softly. She thought that she had to let Li Qin vent the anger in his heart. Thus, she tactfully took a step back and nodded her head lightly to the other party. Her expression was calm as if she was not provoking the other party!


    She agreed with young master Li¡¯s words and replied, ¡°He¡¯s right. If you want to fight, then start. You will be worthy of fighting me only after you pass his test.¡±


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang looked at each other in silence and took a step back. They did not have any objections to sister Xian¡¯s words. After all, brother Qin¡¯s combat power was not to be trifled with! These kids dared to provoke Zhuang Xian; weren¡¯t they looking for death? They would be letting sister Xian down if they didn¡¯t kill them!


    Naturally, they had developed a blind trust in Zhuang Xian and Li Qin and a surging confidence in them.


    Zhuang Xian and her group¡¯s relaxed attitude seemed to have wholly angered the people opposite them. They had never seen such reckless people before!

 Chapter 331 - 331 Chapter 331. Get Past me First

    331 Chapter 331. Get Past me First


    As they looked at Li Qin and Zhuang Xian¡¯s frail bodies, the confidence in their hearts was slowly building up!


    The tallest boy thought he had seen through something. He stared straight at Li Qin and sneered, ¡°You little brat, stop trying to be mysterious in front of us! Why do you want to act like a hero saving a beauty? Then you should also carefully measure how much you are worth! Don¡¯t cry and say that we bullied you!¡±


    As he spoke, the boys standing beside him laughed sarcastically.


    Li Qin snorted coldly and raised his brows. He looked at them with contempt and sarcasm and sneered, ¡°Why do you talk so much nonsense? If you¡¯re a man, you shouldn¡¯t be so wordy!¡±


    ¡°Motherf*cker! Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you? I¡¯m going to cripple you now!¡± After the tall boy finished speaking, he rushed forward with the simulated gun. There were a few other boys following him on both sides!


    Lin Feng laughed and said sarcastically, ¡°Yo! Is this what Team B meant by ¡®killing us with a little finger¡¯? That¡¯s quite a great lineup. They¡¯ve redefined the meaning of one-on-one, don¡¯t you think so, sister Xian?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked indifferently at the boys who were rushing toward her. She chuckled and echoed, ¡°I guess these students think a group fight is a little scary and want to scare people to death! Maybe it¡¯s a new tactic!¡±


    ¡°Four against one, what kind of strategy is this? I think it¡¯s shameless! What kind of skill is bullying a few with numbers? Let¡¯s have a one-on-one fight if you have the ability! Just now, all of you were so good at talking. Why are you all so scared now?¡± Zhang Yang was a very straightforward and open person. He did not care about Zhuang Xian and Lin Feng¡¯s sarcastic remarks. He only cared about what was on his mind!


    These people from Team B had initially wanted to use their power to bully others. Now that Zhuang Xian and the others had exposed them so unreservedly, they were so angry that their tanned faces turned red. A few who wanted to charge forward and beat Li Qin up did not even get to touch him. Their embarrassment turned into anger, and their eyes turned red!


    ¡°You shut the f*ck up!¡±


    Zhang Yang laughed coldly. He could hear the lingering charm of Zhuang Xian in her voice. He said without fear, ¡°Why should I shut up? Do you f*cking dare to gang up on me and fear being criticized? Do you think we¡¯re fools that you can bully? Brother Qin, don¡¯t be merciful; just beat them to death! This kind of people are disgusting!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhang Yang in surprise and gave him a thumbs up with a smile, indicating that he had done an excellent job.


    She turned around and exchanged a look with Lin Feng. She said softly, ¡°His eloquence when scolding people sounds no different from yours! You usually don¡¯t show off, but it turns out that you¡¯re hiding your strength!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He laughed playfully and replied, ¡°This is considered normal for him. There¡¯s still room for improvement!¡±


    On the other side, Li Qin and the tall guy exchanged blows. It was as if he had already blocked out the relaxed and calm atmosphere of Zhuang Xian and the other two.


    Although this male student from the sports department had a muscular physique and strength, he had never received proper combat training. Under Li Qin¡¯s agile movements, he could not gain an advantage.


    After realizing that they had fallen behind, many students stopped! There were students from Team B, and naturally, there were students from Team A!


    These two Teams had already had a conflict in the contest yesterday. At this moment, the students in the Teams, who could be considered the mainstays, had begun to fight. The fighting intent in their eyes was slowly rising.


    Seeing how Li Qin was like a slippery loach in the hands of these Team B students, some of the Team B students slowly had some ideas in their hearts.


    One of them quietly picked up a rock from the ground, wanting to take advantage of Li Qin¡¯s inattentiveness to give him a direct hit.


    Although the stone couldn¡¯t cause any severe damage to Li Qin, if he were distracted, it would create an opportunity for their team!


    Thinking of this, the boy raised his hand and wanted to throw the stone in his hand at Li Qin, who was in the middle of a chaotic battle!

 Chapter 332 - 332 Chapter 332. Trying to Sneak Attack?

    332 Chapter 332. Trying to Sneak Attack?


    However, at this critical moment, a muffled rifle shot was heard. A blue dust bullet burst out from his chest!


    As he was about to throw, his body suddenly stopped.


    Zhuang Xian put down the gun in her hand and looked at the man coldly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Wasn¡¯t ganging up shameless enough? Now they even sneak attacked? Is this the style of your Team B? Or are you just despicable people?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words were merciless, like a slap to the face. Even though there were almost 20 people from Team B standing in front of her, she was not afraid. It could even be said that she was calm and collected.


    After her reminder, many of the students in Team A also noticed the boy who wanted to sneak an attack on Li Qin. They all sneered at him and even spat a few times in disgust.


    One couldn¡¯t take it anymore and directly cursed, ¡°Shameless! I¡¯ve never seen such a shameless and despicable person. My team is still fighting you alone, and you¡¯re hiding behind and trying to sneak an attack! Aren¡¯t you cheap! Our vice Squad monitor hit you, so you deserve it! What are you staring at? Did I say anything wrong?¡±


    ¡°How can there be students like you in the Saint Capital? It¡¯s so embarrassing!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? Didn¡¯t their Squad win the battle yesterday by using such despicable means? They could only attack the injured students who could not run fast! Looking at the Squad monitor, Brother Qin and the others ran extremely fast! What a good show of bullying the weak, what a good show of pissing in fear!¡±


    Among the students from Team A, some were not afraid of speaking up for justice. They had long been unhappy with the showing off of the students from Team B. Their smug looks made people feel uncomfortable!


    Besides, Team A had the upper hand in the current situation. Whether it was in strength or justice, they had the support of the Vice Squad monitor, so they were even more fearless!


    At the same time that Zhuang Xian fired the gun and hit the person who had tried to sneak attack him, Li Qin used a fierce kick to directly knock down the tall boy who had been boasting, shamelessly shouting that he wanted to kill him.


    His icy gaze scared the few people around him so much that they didn¡¯t dare to go forward!


    Fortunately, Zhuang Xian had fired the shot just now, so they stopped naturally. They were secretly worried. They were afraid they had met two iron plates today! Who would have thought there would be such a powerful character in Team A that they had beaten up yesterday?


    Zhang Yang looked at Li Qin, standing in the crowd, and his eyes were dazed. Brother Qin¡¯s whip kick just now was stunning! That clean, swift strength and fierceness made him look so handsome!


    However, Lin Feng thought back and felt it was similar to how Zhuang Xian kicked the wild boar the other day. It should be the same system of martial arts combat. He was cool! It made one¡¯s heart surge with excitement!


    After mocking the person opposite her, Zhuang Xian glanced at the boy Li Qin had knocked down. She sneered and said, ¡°Today¡¯s confrontation hasn¡¯t started yet. I¡¯m letting you off for the sake of our Squad leader! If any of you are still unconvinced, then it¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll meet later!¡±


    When Luo Fei and the Team B monitor arrived, the dispute was already nearing its end. Luo Fei heard Zhang Yang¡¯s scolding and pulled the Team B monitor beside him, indicating that he could observe the situation quietly and figure out the cause of the problem.


    Therefore, they stood at the periphery of the crowd for five minutes. They had heard what they needed to hear and understood what they needed to understand!


    The Team B monitor¡¯s face was blushing slightly. This was what made his students feel embarrassed!


    He had lost all his face today. These fools who didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth had been fooled by the other party!


    These few people from Team A were not simple characters. Only these few simple-minded idiots would treat others as pushovers!


    He looked at the girl with an intimidating aura standing in the middle of the crowd.

 Chapter 333 - 333 Chapter 333. Winning People Over With Virtue

    333 Chapter 333. ¡®Winning People Over With Virtue¡¯


    The Squad monitor of Team B turned to look at Luo Fei and said in a low voice, ¡°So, she¡¯s the one who saved a few of your classmates with you that afternoon? The one you¡¯re talking about? You¡¯ve always had high standards. Since you¡¯re so appreciative of her, it shows that your vice Squad monitor¡¯s strength is not simple!¡±


    Although Luo Fei and the Squad monitor of Team B had been teammates for some time in the past, Luo Fei¡¯s later assessment results in the team were highly outstanding and far exceeded his! Luo Fei was now Lei Cheng¡¯s direct subordinate, and his future was bright.


    On the other hand, the Squad monitor of Team B had average military results. Hence, he was very envious of Luo Fei in many aspects!


    During yesterday¡¯s confrontation in military training, his team had beaten up the people from Team A because of his instructions.


    Luo Fei was a brilliant person. He understood that others were jealous of him, but this did not mean that he would silently take the loss!


    Now that his capable ¡®general¡¯ Zhuang Xian has returned to the team, today was the best time to strike back at Team B! As Luo Fei thought of this, his eyes flashed with a determined light.


    He nodded slightly at the Squad monitor of Team B, and there was an undisguisable smugness in his eyes. ¡°Now I feel she¡¯s not only a good seedling but also has extraordinary ability. Did you see her posture and technique when she raised the gun? She¡¯s very professional and refined. She looks like a veteran with the gun!¡±


    As Luo Fei spoke, he turned to look at the Squad monitor of Team B. After a slight smile; he said half-jokingly, ¡°When the match starts later, tell those from your team who are trying to provoke our vice Squad monitor to be careful!


    When the Squad monitor of Team B heard this, he couldn¡¯t hold his expression any longer. He tried to raise an arc on his slightly squarish face, but he failed.


    Luo Fei had no intention of continuing to pay attention to him. He pushed through the crowd and roared, ¡°Spread out! What are you little bastards trying to do? Hurry up and disperse! The main force has already gone so far, are you all born in the year of the snail? Hurry up and catch up!¡±


    As he lectured, he lowered his eyes and stared at the half-dead Team B student on the ground.


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian had noticed Luo Fei and the Squad monitor the crowd¡¯s periphery. She deliberately wanted to make the fight a small matter. Although she couldn¡¯t make it a minor issue, she still had to give some face to the Team B Squad monitor!


    It didn¡¯t seem very polite to beat up someone in their team like this. Naturally, she had to ¡®win them over with virtue¡¯ in a formal competition!


    When the students saw their Squad monitor was there, they began to complain and cry about injustice. However, no one took care of the tall boy still ailing on the ground.


    After Zhuang Xian and Luo Fei looked at each other, she opened her mouth to explain, but Luo Fei interrupted her.


    He said, ¡°Hurry up and bring your men back to the team! The match is about to begin.¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded in understanding. ¡°Yes, Squad monitor.¡±


    As for the few people from Team B who had tried to stir up trouble, how could they let them off so quickly when they saw the current situation? They had not managed to gain any advantage from Zhuang Xian and her group today!


    Now that the Squad monitor was siding with Zhuang Xian and her team, they were naturally angry.


    They said indignantly, ¡°Hey, I say, Team A¡¯s Squad monitor! Your teammates beat someone up, and you let them go so simply and indifferently? Aren¡¯t you a little too biased?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Our friend is still lying on the ground, unable to move! You don¡¯t even want to give us an explanation, and you want to leave? How could such a thing be good? It just so happens that our Squad monitor is here now. You must make them apologize to us! Especially her!¡±


    As the boy spoke, he pointed his finger at Zhuang Xian, standing beside Li Qin. His expression was full of arrogance and determination. It was as if Luo Fei and the Squad monitor of Class B had to stand on their side just because he wickedly complained first!


    They probably didn¡¯t know that Luo Fei and their Squad leader had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter!

 Chapter 334 - 334 Chapter 334. A War of Words

    334 Chapter 334. A War of Words


    Therefore, in the eyes of the two class monitors, their sophistry and the fact that the wicked complained first weren¡¯t enough! In the eyes of Squad monitor Luo Fei alone, it was extremely humorous and funny!


    The Squad monitor of Team B could only feel his face burning red.


    Luo Fei¡¯s expression turned cold when he heard that. He had the integrity of a soldier and was naturally protective of his ¡®children¡¯. He immediately turned around and looked at the student, who was full of nonsense.


    The Squad monitor of Team B also knew that their class was in the wrong, so he didn¡¯t dare to let the students continue to cause trouble. He immediately stepped forward to mediate, ¡°Alright, old Luo! You can bring your students up. First, I¡¯ll discipline this bunch of ignorant stinky kids!¡±


    Luo Fei¡¯s eyes flickered with sarcasm. He purposely let the Squad monitor see it. The smile on his face was not deep, and the people in front of him started to feel a little guilty.


    The Squad monitor of Team B had initially wanted to keep things peaceful, but he had a few idiots under him who didn¡¯t have such awareness.


    When they saw their Squad monitor fawning over Luo Fei in such a humble manner, they immediately complained in a strange, sharp voice, ¡°What are you afraid of, Squad monitor! It¡¯s the people from their team who bullied us. Look at how we were beaten by our brother Yang. We can¡¯t even stand up! Even if this matter is brought up to the Chief Instructor, we¡¯ll still be in the right! Why are you afraid of them?¡±


    However, before he could express his unique ¡®opinions¡¯, his silly words were interrupted by Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°Your class is right? What kind of logic is your class on? Was it a group who rushed up but only knew how to besiege one person? Was this not enough, and you even added some sneak attacks? Or perhaps, after seeing a beautiful girl, his brain, which was originally not very good, only knew how to think of some dirty and lowly things! You only know how to spew sh*t even if you have a mouth!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s words were very coherent and full of sarcasm and wickedness. The boy who was speaking was completely dumbfounded!


    Seeing that everyone was stunned, Zhuang Xian laughed sarcastically. ¡°What kind of logic is this? All the children in the kindergarten know that they should not bully a few with numbers, and they should not bully other students at will! You guys are so good, you¡¯ve been raised at home to be so fat and strong, but you only know how to do such things. You¡¯ve thrown many years of learning into the dogs¡¯ ¡°stomachs!¡±


    ¡°Who are you scolding? Keep your mouth clean!¡± In Class B, there were still some intelligent people. When they heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s indirect way of scolding people, their eyes turned red with anger, and they pointed at Zhuang Xian¡¯s nose.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t mind. Her tone darkened, and she retorted, ¡°Were you the one who spat at our class and made faces at us?¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed when she saw the man¡¯s stunned expression. ¡°I don¡¯t know what to say about you. Let me ask you, are you cowering, or are you suffering from advanced dementia? Who taught you to do such a disgusting and childish thing? Can this action make you look nobler? I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang looked at their sister Xian in shock. This was the first time they had seen Zhuang Xian¡¯s powerful and sharp tongue! Was this a war of words?


    As Zhuang Xian said this, she glanced at the Squad monitor of the opposing team and chuckled, ¡°Squad monitor, please forgive me for my offense! So, what has your team been taught during the military training for the past few days? Were you teaching them how to bully the weak and bully their colleagues? Or should you teach them to overestimate their abilities and continue to act fat after being slapped in the face? This shallow and unintelligent villain complained first, and they had the nerve to use it. I didn¡¯t have the heart to listen to it!¡±


    The Squad monitor of Class B stood still in the crowd.


    This feeling of being choked by someone¡¯s words and stabbed in the chest was novel! This Zhuang Xian was quite capable!


    Looking at the angry and embarrassed boys in front of her, Zhuang Xian pretended to be confused and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think that everyone is as stupid as you, so stupid that you can directly ascend to heaven on the spot? Why don¡¯t you understand the situation on the field? Forget it; I¡¯ll be merciful and explain it to you!¡±

 Chapter 335 - 335 Chapter 335. Continue to Flirt

    335 Chapter 335. Continue to Flirt


    ¡°Your Squad monitor is trying to advise you to stop your losses. You¡¯re all so stupid that you don¡¯t even understand his meaning. It¡¯s problematic. If I were your Squad monitor, I¡¯d be tired too!¡± Zhuang Xian pretended to say softly.


    Everyone watched as Zhuang Xian scolded the other students and Team B¡¯s Squad monitor in such a calm and natural manner. Everyone was dumbfounded, and they were at a loss for words.


    As Zhuang Xian said this, her eyes were fixed on the other students standing behind the Team B monitor. They were all submissive and only dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.


    Her sharp little mouth was usually not used, but once it was used thoughtfully, it was like a machine gun with full attack power, shooting indiscriminately at everyone other than her people. Naturally, the Squad monitor of Team B was included.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, f*ck you!¡± The tall boy lying on the ground was so angry that all the words he had in his mind were gone when he saw his friends being insulted so severely!


    Zhuang Xian glanced at him indifferently. Her aura of looking down on all living beings scared him so much that he immediately shut his mouth.


    ¡°Yo! Do you even know my name? What about me? Did I say anything wrong? Do you not have such a disgusting atmosphere in your team? Especially a few of you; your characters are terrible! It is fine for people to be a little stupid, but the most disgusting thing is being stupid and bad! Just like you!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she raised her finger and pointed at the boy who was about to refute her. Her expression was so calm that it was as if she was talking about the weather.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s verbal attacks were very intense and stable. She continued to attack people and was not afraid of running out of words. Luo Fei listened to her and almost could not hold it a few times!


    He didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Xian to be so strong in combat power and physique and good at ¡®killing¡¯ people with her mouth.


    The Squad monitor of Team B was stunned by Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. His expression was dull as if he had frozen in place.


    There was no suspense at all. In this martial and ¡®literary battle¡¯ initiated by Team B, Team A had a complete victory.


    With Zhuang Xian in Team A, it was as if they finally had a soul. They were full of vitality and vitality, spontaneously emerging from the inside.


    After about ten minutes, Luo Fei led Team A to the battlefield. From time to time, everyone would look at them. At this moment, Zhuang Xian, lying beside the Squad monitor, seemed to have not fully come down from her high horse!


    Their class¡¯s vice Squad monitor, Zhuang Xian, was a fantastic person. They realized that they liked her more and more! Where else could they find such a beautiful and powerful girl with such a handsome and decisive personality? It was like n¨¹wa¡¯s ultimate graduation project, perfect and flawless.


    ¡°Brother Qin? Has our sister Xian always been so eloquent? How come Lin Feng and I didn¡¯t notice it a few days ago? She had just scared the twenty-odd people on the other side so much that they probably wanted to raise the white flag and surrender! Sister Xian¡¯s combat power in all aspects is amazing!¡±


    Zhang Yang did not dare to say anything in front of Zhuang Xian. Instead, he went to Li Qin¡¯s side and talked about his admiration and respect for Zhuang Xian. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Li Qin about Zhuang Xian¡¯s past.


    Li Qin could only helplessly listen to Zhang Yang¡¯s ramble in his ear. His eyes could not help but drift toward Zhuang Xian, who was not far from him. His heart¡¯s frustration and slight awkwardness had not wholly dissipated because of what had happened just now!


    Of course, he knew that his sister Xian¡¯s silent consent was to use those stupid and shameless people to let him vent his anger. At the same time, his sister Xian tolerated his awkward behavior.


    Li Qin was no longer angry at Zhuang Xian; instead, he had never been furious at her!


    Even if Zhuang Xian had lied to him and used his most intense fear and panic to gain the trust of the Squad monitor and the other students!


    He believed that she had been harmed and attacked by An Ye! Otherwise, why would he, as her closest companion during the military training, be so frightened and worried?

 Chapter 336 - 336 Chapter 336. Awkward

    336 Chapter 336. Awkward


    On that slope that was all an act for outsiders to see, he fell and crawled all over the ground in a sorry state! As Li Qin was thinking about all of this, he ignored Zhang Yang¡¯s constant questions and attacks, as if he was installing a shield.


    His brows were slightly furrowed, like a glacier that could not melt. After a long while, Li Qin sighed softly and slowly retracted his gaze.


    He didn¡¯t care that much. He didn¡¯t care about his fall or his embarrassing actions. What he couldn¡¯t accept and understand the most was that Zhuang Xian had directly excluded him, her best friend, her closest playmate, from her life!


    Perhaps to Zhuang Xian, this was only a tiny part of the plan¡¯s success and was not a form of harm or deception. However, to Li Qin, who saw Zhuang Xian as a very, very important person, this was no small matter.


    There was no way for humans to empathize with another person truly!


    And this kind of uncomfortable feeling Li Qin had been experiencing for the past two days, but Zhuang Xian had no way of experiencing it.


    Lin Feng felt that Li Qin¡¯s mood was plummeting. He raised his head and used his eyes to stop Zhang Yang, who was still chatting. He said in a deep voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Qin? Why did he become even more unhappy after defeating them? Our team is about to start the second round of confrontation with their class. You¡¯re also one of the mainstays of our Team A, so hurry up and cheer up! If there¡¯s anything you¡¯re unhappy about, you can vent it on that bunch of grandsons later!¡±


    Although Zhang Yang¡¯s thought process was slower, he was not stupid. After Lin Feng¡¯s words, he noticed Li Qin¡¯s strange behavior and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Qin! The match between our class and the other team is the most important! If we lose again today, we¡¯ll lose all our faces!¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhang Yang and Lin Feng and nodded his head. He said weakly, ¡°We have sister Xian with us today, so don¡¯t worry! She will never let our team lose to those people.¡±


    After Li Qin finished speaking, he hugged his gun and wiped it gently as if he couldn¡¯t get his spirits up.


    After Zhuang Xian listened to Squad leader Luo Fei¡¯s plan, she nodded to show that she understood.


    She lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then said to Luo Fei, ¡°The battle plan you¡¯ve drawn up is excellent, but if there¡¯s a more elite knife team that can directly cut in from the right side of Team B and muddy the water, the mission will be much easier and more fun!


    When Luo Fei heard this, he thought about it seriously. He felt that Zhuang Xian¡¯s method was very novel. If it was completed well, it could be a direct victory!


    The Squad leader nodded and looked at Zhuang Xian, ¡°I think it¡¯s feasible! This way, our tactics will be more diverse, and we can also catch Team B off guard!¡±


    ¡°So? What do you want to do after this?¡± Luo Fei asked in a low voice.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s fingers subconsciously touched the barrel of the gun hanging in front of her chest. She chuckled and said, ¡°I want you to assign Li Qin to me and then assign me three more people who are more agile and efficient. Most importantly, they have to obey my instructions! I promise to help you get Team B¡¯s flag and make it our trophy in less than half an hour! All the supplies of their team will go to our team!¡±


    Luo Fei was stunned. He chuckled and asked, ¡°You¡¯re so confident you can fight against so many people? What if you make a mistake and get caught by the opponent? I¡¯m all alone; I don¡¯t dare come over and save you!¡±


    ¡°You must know that if the enemy kills the squad leaders during military training, they will be killed! Not only would the overall military training results of the instructors and the students decline, but everyone would laugh at them. That would be embarrassing! I don¡¯t want to lose to them, so I want you to carry our team¡¯s flag! We¡¯ll bring everyone on the team together to get a better result. This way, it won¡¯t be a waste of our energy and time!¡±

 Chapter 337 - 337 Chapter 337. Ill

    337 Chapter 337. Ill-intentioned


    As Zhuang Xian listened to her Squad monitor¡¯s long-winded speech, she smiled lightly, and her eyes were filled with confidence and certainty.


    She looked at Luo Fei¡¯s face and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Squad monitor. I know what I¡¯m doing. I won¡¯t do something that I¡¯m not confident in.¡±


    Of course, Luo Fei believed in Zhuang Xian. He was mainly curious about how Zhuang Xian could be so strong. Could she achieve such an effect after training for a few days with her family when she was young?


    Then wouldn¡¯t they, who trained hard every day, become big fools?


    Seeing that Luo Fei had tacitly agreed to her suggestion, Zhuang Xian smiled and turned her head around. She looked at Li Qin, who was not far behind her, and Zhang Yang and Lin Feng, who were beside Li Qin.


    The mountains that belonged to Blue Eagle mountain were quite tall and majestic. Its vegetation was also very lush and rich. There were also slow and fast intervals between the mountain and the ground. This was also why it was one of Lei Cheng¡¯s first choices for military training.


    It was not like the wild deep mountains, hiding some unknown dangers, but to the greatest extent, it perfectly met Lei Cheng¡¯s strict requirements for military training. And the most satisfying thing was that it was under the jurisdiction of the Blue Eagle Base. If there were students who could not stand it and wanted to escape or do other things, it was all under Lei Cheng¡¯s control!


    In short, since they got on the bus for military training, these new students of Saint Capital University had no choice or retreat. They were just frogs in the well that Lei Cheng suppressed.


    The Squad monitor of class B looked at the sad or indignant students in front of him. His brows furrowed and were filled with resentment.


    He touched the gun in his hand and said coldly, ¡°Alright! All of you better buck up; what kind of look is this with all the bitter faces and dejected looks? He was indeed in the right just now. You brainless people didn¡¯t even know you were being used as a gun! That Zhuang Xian and Li Qin are not easy to deal with!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at the students squatting around him, who were not even severe. He sighed. ¡°So, when Luo Fei is organizing them to attack us later when you see Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, you have to start retreating! Do you know? Zhuang Xian¡¯s marksmanship looks pretty good. You guys haven¡¯t been through systematic training, so don¡¯t go head-to-head with her. Our main targets are the weaker students in her team!¡±


    After hearing the Squad monitor¡¯s words, some students who were not bad-natured asked in confusion, ¡°But wouldn¡¯t we end up like what Zhuang Xian said? Bullying the weak, sinister and cunning! Can¡¯t we fight them with real swords and guns? In any case, their team¡¯s situation is generally not as good as ours. If Zhuang Xian and Li Qin stand out, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? Two fists can¡¯t fight four hands. We have more people, so the two of them might not match!¡±


    Hearing this, the Squad leader¡¯s long and narrow eyes flashed with a touch of gloominess. He opened his mouth and shouted coldly, ¡°Since the school wants you to experience military life and training, this place will be your real battlefield!


    As he spoke, his eyes looked straight at the boy who had just spoken. He sneered and said, ¡°To pity the enemy on the battlefield is the cruelest thing to do to yourself! Little friend, you can¡¯t be so naive. I¡¯ll teach you in a while what it means to be deceitful in war and what it means to be in a real war! Put away your normal values; this is a battlefield! There are only teammates and enemies. Other than that, there¡¯s nothing.¡±


    The student looked at the Squad monitor¡¯s frightening expression and nervously took a step back. He didn¡¯t dare to talk back to the Squad monitor, but he already felt that the Squad monitor was very abnormal. Or rather, he had bad intentions.


    ¡°Alright! It¡¯s almost time. Hold your simulated guns; we¡¯ll set off the enemy!¡± As he spoke, he reached for the pistol on his waist and stood up. ¡°The plan remains unchanged. We¡¯ll take more people and kill more. Nothing else is important.¡±


    Along with him, there were more than a dozen extremely tall and well-built students!

 Chapter 338 - 338 Chapter 338. You Said Sorry

    338 Chapter 338. You Said Sorry


    The students in Team B were originally from the same class in the sports department. When they formed teams of their own accord, they forced themselves into a few groups that were not too far apart. When Lei Zhou was on the secondary team, he did not seem to have intentionally separated them. That was why they were the strongest in their team!


    While Team B was still planning to recreate yesterday¡¯s victory, Zhuang Xian from Team A had already led Li Qin, Lin Feng, Zhang Yang, and another boy from their team with a lot of cross-country experience. The five of them had sneaked up to the right side of the hill of Team B.


    Li Qin had the most battle experience among the four boys, and his movements were the most agile. However, he still couldn¡¯t keep up with Zhuang Xian¡¯s pace, let alone the other three following behind them.


    The plan in Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was apparent, and it was not very difficult to execute.


    She did not have high expectations for Lin Feng and the rest. As long as Li Qin could keep up with her rhythm and cooperate reasonably when she made her move, this matter would be flawless.


    Crouching behind a tall rock, Zhuang Xian raised her hand to check the time, then turned back to look at the people who had not caught up with her.


    ¡°The conditions for an ambush in this place are perfect. This big rock is so conspicuous in this forest, and it just so happened that it could be put to good use!¡±


    Li Qin caught up with her, holding the gun in his hand. After panting a few times heavily, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who was holding a pair of binoculars and observing the surrounding terrain.


    His eyes moved to the backpack¡¯s strap on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left shoulder. After some thought, he asked, ¡°When we start fighting later, you can let me carry your bag! I¡¯ll cover for you.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she put down the binoculars in her hand and lowered her eyes to look at Li Qin, who had an awkward expression. She laughed softly. ¡°Seeing that I¡¯ve been trying to please you so much, can you not be angry with me? When I fight the Squad monitor later, I¡¯ll leave my back to you! Can I trust you?¡±


    Li Qin looked deeply at Zhuang Xian for a while, and his breathing became heavy. After a few seconds, he said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Then you should say sorry to me! It would be best if you said that you won¡¯t hide anything from me in the future and that I¡¯ll always stand by your side. Then, I¡¯ll reluctantly forgive you this once!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Li Qin in amusement. In her beautiful eyes, a complicated and obscure expression flashed past. It was so fast that Li Qin did not even notice it.


    The young girl lowered her slender waist and lay on the big rock, surrounded by wet moss and rotten leaves.


    Her tone of voice was very relaxed and at ease. Her exquisite facial features were spread out on her fair and crystal-clear face, with a soul-stirring beauty. She said indifferently to the young man beside her, ¡°I¡¯m sorry! Yes.¡±


    Zhang Yang had been following Lin Feng for about two steps. He had already heard everything that Zhuang Xian had said to Li Qin, so there was no way that Lin Feng, who was in front of him, would not have heard it!


    When Zhuang Xian said those words, her tone was gentle and warm. It was something that Zhang Yang had never seen before. He felt his heart go numb. Looking at Lin Feng¡¯s back, he frowned slightly. He was apprehensive about his brother.


    In Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes, it is evident that Lin Feng liked Zhuang Xian!


    Lin Feng thought that he had hidden it very well. However, the love and care of a young man could not be easily concealed or suppressed. Zhang Yang could see it clearly, and so could Li Qin. However, the conversation between Li Qin and Zhuang Xian was not known to Zhang Yang and Lin Feng.


    Zhang Yang did not know that Li Qin knew Lin Feng liked sister Xian!


    This might sound a little awkward, but it was just a kind of favorable impression in youth and a vague and faint-like. It didn¡¯t seem reasonable to say it too deeply and too heavily!


    The road they were gathering on was narrow and steep upward. The strong boy who had followed the Vice Squad leader out for a knife-cutting task looked at the two teammates blocking his way and asked in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s happening in front? Why didn¡¯t you continue walking?¡±


    Lin Feng heard his teammate¡¯s doubtful voice and returned to his senses. He hunched over and walked up to them. Looking at Li Qin and Zhuang Xian, he slowly squatted beside Li Qin.

 Chapter 339 - 339 Chapter 339. A Fist Bump

    339 Chapter 339. A Fist Bump


    Zhuang Xian saw that everyone had arrived, so she put away the binoculars in her hand and introduced her battle plan to her teammates in a deep voice.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just observed the terrain here; it¡¯s suitable for an ambush. In a while, Lin Feng will be lying in my current position, and Zhang Yang will hide behind the tree trunk. Pay attention to covering Lin Feng¡¯s position and your figure, don¡¯t be discovered by the people in Team B! When I¡¯m done with Team B¡¯s Squad monitor, Zhang Yang and Lin Feng, you two will kill the enemy; the more, the better!¡±


    As she said that, she looked at the boy behind Zhang Yang and smiled evilly, ¡°You are in charge of swaying left and right in the forest behind Lin Feng and the others or pulling anything that can shake you. Give Lin Feng and the others the impression that thousands of soldiers and horses are behind them. Just scare them a little! I know you¡¯re nimble, so it¡¯s appropriate for you to handle this matter!¡±


    When the boy heard the Vice Squad monitor¡¯s words, he obediently nodded and replied, ¡°I understand, vice Squad monitor! Leave this to me; I have a way!¡±


    As he spoke, he put down his backpack and took out a bundle of thin rope. He put it back on and carefully observed the terrain on his left. Then, he rushed up the steep slope and leaned against a tree trunk. He raised his hand and gave Zhuang Xian a thumbs-up.


    Zhuang Xian nodded her head in satisfaction and looked away. She stood up and jumped down from the rock. She approached Li Qin and Lin Feng and looked at Zhang Yang. Then, she smiled and said softly, ¡°Sharp knife team, begin your mission! With the gunshot as the signal, remember what you have to do.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian gave the order, Li Qin felt a long-lost feeling in her. His heroic sister Xian had returned!


    Li Qin subconsciously replied in a deep voice, ¡°Yes! Team leader! I promise to complete the mission!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian and replied, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Zhang Yang felt goosebumps all over his arms from the solemness and seriousness of his friends. Of course, other than that, he also felt a very hot-blooded thing in his heart.


    He thought that perhaps it was a man¡¯s natural yearning and passion for military feelings!


    Zhuang Xian stretched out her hand and suspended it in mid-air as she looked up to signal to Li Qin.


    How could Li Qin not understand his sister Xian¡¯s meaning? Immediately, she placed her hand on top of Li Qin¡¯s palm. Zhang Yang was the first to understand. He did not care that Lin Feng was standing in front of him. He stepped forward and placed his hand on Li Qin¡¯s palm. At the same time, he did not forget to look at Lin Feng, standing beside him.


    Lin Feng chuckled when he saw his friends looking at him. He put his hands on top of theirs. The four hands of different skin colors and sizes were stacked together and swung up and down quickly three times.


    Zhuang Xian said, ¡°Good luck! The students¡¯ food and supplies will depend on the few of us!¡±


    After she finished speaking, she retracted her hand and patted Li Qin¡¯s shoulder, indicating for him to leave.


    Just as she was about to walk past Lin Feng, he stopped her.


    Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at Lin Feng.


    ¡°Be careful, and don¡¯t get hurt again.¡±


    Hearing the young man¡¯s words, the corners of her mouth curled up. Zhuang Xian nodded slightly, raised her hand, and clenched it into a fist, making a fist-bump gesture to Lin Feng.


    Lin Feng understood what she meant. He chuckled as he raised his fist and touched it lightly with Zhuang Xian¡¯s. It was a very calm and neat gesture! However, only he knew that this was the closest he had ever been to this girl.


    The feeling of their skin touching disappeared in a flash. Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back, which was slender but not thin. He clearly felt the gap between him and Zhuang Xian for the first time. It was the gap between heaven and earth. She was not a girl he could chase.


    Lin Feng lowered his fist in slight frustration as he looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s figure. She was hiding in a bush not far away on their left!


    Zhang Yang did not know how to comfort his friend. In the end, he just patted Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

 Chapter 340 - 340 Chapter 340. Close

    340 Chapter 340. Close-range


    He sighed softly and said, ¡°Hurry back to your position, don¡¯t let your thoughts run wild.¡±


    Lin Feng looked at Zhang Yang and chuckled. He did not say anything and climbed up to Zhuang Xian¡¯s previous position. He lowered his waist and lay on the spot. He seemed to be able to smell the faint scent of Zhuang Xian¡¯s body.


    The view from this position was sive, and he could see Zhuang Xian and Li Qin below!


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian did not know that, at this moment, a young man was suffering a sweet yet sad feeling because of her.


    She lowered her head and fiddled with the simulated gun in her hand. Her lower limbs were sprawled on the ground covered in leaves, and her movements were as steady as a stone statue. Li Qin randomly threw a few handfuls of leaves at her before hiding behind a tree trunk!


    Right now, everything was ready on their side. All they needed was Team B, the east wind coming for them to walk straight into their trap!


    It was almost noon in the forest, and the air was hot. The trees were tall and dense, and the leaves covered the sky. They actively and enthusiastically wanted more sunlight and rain for the trees. The harsh laws of the forest forced the trees to grow upward at all times.


    The tree was so aggressive, let alone a human being who was the Lord of all things. Team B¡¯s Squad monitor walked on the team¡¯s left side, carefully scanning everything in the jungle with his narrow and sharp eyes from time to time!


    He didn¡¯t know why, but he felt something was wrong when he walked on the road that he had walked on yesterday. He was walking in fear.


    He shook his head, trying to shake off the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He whispered to the students beside him to walk faster and nimbler. Then, he subconsciously looked up and saw the massive rock on their right!


    When he walked past this place yesterday, he had already thought that if he wanted to find the best place to ambush in this forest, this boulder would be the best place.


    With a high vantage point and a wide field of vision, he would have already seen all the enemy¡¯s movements before the enemy could see him.


    Moreover, it was an excellent location for a sniper to pick. Although it was not as well hidden, it was still an ideal geographical position for combat.


    If Zhuang Xian knew about Team B monitor¡¯s train of thought, she would probably express her admiration for him.


    It was because they were all thinking the same thing. It was just that Zhuang Xian¡¯s combat strategy was more complete. What she wanted was more than just a sniping position!


    Fighting personally was her style!


    It was not that the Squad monitor of Team B had not thought about how Luo Fei¡¯s Team A would go against his team today. He did not expect Luo Fei¡¯s fighting style to be so aggressive and brave. He also did not expect Luo Fei¡¯s trust in Zhuang Xian to be so deep!


    His jaw dropped even more because Zhuang Xian dared to come up and fight him in close combat.


    One should know that although his assessment results were not as good as Luo Fei¡¯s, he had also undergone many years of professional military training. He was not a simple young lady who could do anything he wanted.


    Zhuang Xian was probably going to disappoint him today. Zhuang Xian loved to catch her enemies off guard!


    The Squad monitor¡¯s steps on the rotten leaves were steady and secretive, but he couldn¡¯t hide from Zhuang Xian¡¯s sharp eyes.


    Team B appeared very quickly and immediately tightened the nerves of the razor-sharp team, especially Lin Feng, who was crouching on the huge rock and taking in everything!


    He watched as the monitor of Team B approached Zhuang Xian step by step, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed by a firm hand.


    Although he was far away, he still held his breath subconsciously, as if he was afraid that the slightest whiff would startle the people in Team B.


    When the prey was slowly approaching them, it was the time when hunters needed to calm down and suppress their impulses the most!


    Zhuang Xian did this very well. She could feel the students of Team B walking a few steps above her. The sound of their footsteps gradually increased, and she became calmer and more rational.


    After a faint bird chirping, she heard the steady footsteps she had been waiting for.


    As the footsteps got closer, Zhuang Xian¡¯s grip on the dagger tightened!

 Chapter 341 - 341 Chapter 341. The Fight

    341 Chapter 341. The Fight


    Suddenly, a bird¡¯s cry rang out in the forest. Zhuang Xian slammed the ground with one hand, like a cheetah that had been lying dormant. When she responded, leaves fell from her body.


    The sharp edge of the short dagger was aimed at the Team B monitor¡¯s neck. Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were sharp and dangerous, but the curve of her lips clearly showed her smiling!


    ¡°Squad monitor, watch my blade!¡±


    Hearing the girl¡¯s sudden clear, indifferent voice, the squad monitor of Team B seemed to have heard a devil¡¯s whisper. His eyes opened wide, and the corners of his eyes seemed to split open!


    The squad monitor of Team B was utterly unaware of Zhuang Xian¡¯s presence before she got up and attacked him.


    Zhuang Xian was like an experienced hunter, possessing unparalleled patience. Of course, she also had the ability and heart to control her ¡®prey completely¡¯.


    He did not expect that a person was lying on the ground one step away from him.


    The sound of leaves falling from the girl¡¯s body woke him up. Almost immediately, he stopped and retreated. His body¡¯s movement was faster than his brain¡¯s reaction. He tilted his neck back in an instant, allowing him to avoid the fatal backhand horizontal stab!


    With the knife aimed at his life, Zhuang Xian¡¯s demonic voice came.


    The cold glint of the dagger was already right in front of him, and he had just heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice. It was not a sincere reminder, as if it was just a formality. She had deliberately scared him half to death and even had to smile hypocritically to say, ¡®Sorry, I didn¡¯t mean it!¡¯


    She was so annoying, but he could do nothing about it.


    Seeing that the class monitor of Team B had dodged the attack quickly, Zhuang Xian was not discouraged. Instead, she looked at him with great interest and turned the dagger in her hand.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Squad B monitor¡¯s quick movements, the dagger blade would already have been stuck to his face!


    The blade had already cut the military training uniform on his shoulder. If Zhuang Xian had pushed him a centimeter deeper, he would have been injured.


    The squad monitor took advantage of the momentum and retreated a few steps before finally stabilizing his body. After he stood still, he was about to say something but was interrupted by a loud voice behind Zhuang Xian.


    The sound of the simulated gun was not as muffled as the real gun, but when it fell into the students¡¯ ears, it became real and terrifying for no reason!


    Li Qin immediately raised his voice and shouted at the students of Team B, ¡°Squad monitor, we have surrounded the enemy! It¡¯s time to make a move!¡±


    The gun in his hand didn¡¯t stay idle as he shouted these two words. He would fire a shot almost in the gap between every three words. With the sound of the gunshot, for a moment, the monitor of Team B almost began to believe that the people of Team A had ambushed their team.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t give the squad monitor much time to think. She pressed forward with the dagger in her hand, and the smile on her face widened.


    ¡°Squad monitor, what are you still thinking about? At this time, are you still not going to order your classmates to disperse? Our squad leader said we¡¯ll pay you back for yesterday¡¯s casualties! You¡¯d better be careful!¡±


    Hearing the girl¡¯s words, the squad monitor of Team B began to have some doubts.


    He dodged Zhuang Xian¡¯s straight punch and said coldly, ¡°Zhuang Xian, stop using your connections! If Luo Fei ambushed our team here, he would be the stupidest person! I won¡¯t fall for your trick ¡­¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a large number of trees being moved by the crowd suddenly came from the right side of the mountain. The sound of gunfire was loud as if thousands of troops and horses were coming towards them!


    Many of the students from Team B only realized that they had been shot after they had smoke coming out of their bodies. The bullets had come from the vegetation and dense forest on the upper right. Including the students who had ¡®sacrificed¡¯ after being ambushed from below, Team B had already ¡®lost¡¯ close to ten students!


    Some raised their guns to fight back, but the bullets were hidden in the forest and did not hurt Zhuang Xian or any others!

 Chapter 342 - 342 Chapter 342. A Motley Crowd

    342 Chapter 342. A Motley Crowd


    Some of the people in Class B roared in shock after being shot, ¡°Are all the people from Team A lying in ambush up there?¡±


    ¡°Everyone, quickly retreat! Hurry up! Their team has ambushed us, so let¡¯s not fight them head-on!¡±


    ¡°What bullshit are you spouting? People are firing at us from our right, back, and down the mountain! Where are we going to retreat to? What kind of f*cking nonsense are you talking about? What kind of idea are you giving us?¡±


    ¡°Both of us have been ¡®shot¡¯. Can you shut your mouth? Can you guys argue again when we get back to the camp later? Can you stop talking nonsense?¡±


    While they were talking, several other students were shot! They had already been stunned by this sudden battle!


    The new students in Team B, who had no combat experience, held their guns in their hands and looked at their comrades¡¯ chests or abdomens where they had been shot. Then, they glanced at the bullet marks on their backs. The dull expressions on their faces were very amusing!


    If Zhang Yang did not have a mission to complete, he would have hugged his stomach and laughed at Team B students. They were arrogant yesterday, yet they still dared to go to Squad monitor Luo Fei¡¯s place. They were snobby and overconfident!


    Today, all the members of the razor-sharp team were going to teach these ignorant people a good lesson!


    Lin Feng calmly and attentively crouched on the boulder. This was a paradise that ¡®stood aloof from the world¡¯. The people below had no way of determining his position, so there was no way they could accurately hit him back!


    The barrel of the simulated gun in his hand was already burning hot. His eyes were sharp and focused. Although he was only a newbie who had just learned how to shoot, his hit rate was much higher than Zhang Yang, who hid behind him to protect him.


    Perhaps it was some magical talent. In these short five minutes, he had already hit no less than 15 people on the other side!


    Not only that, he even helped Li Qin to cover Zhuang Xian¡¯s close combat with the squad leader!


    The squad monitor of Team B, who had been forced to retreat by Zhuang Xian, looked extremely angry. He raised his hand to block Zhuang Xian¡¯s hook and quickly scanned the arena.


    Looking at the chaos in front of him, his side had already begun to scatter and flee in all directions. A mouthful of old depressed blood surged up in his chest. He didn¡¯t know whether he should vomit or not. In any case, he was so angry that he felt uncomfortable!


    ¡°Why are you guys running? There aren¡¯t many people on their team, so raise your guns and fight back! You idiots, come back!¡±


    The only response to his anger and roars was Zhuang Xian¡¯s fists, which carried a strong punch and a cold blade.


    Zhuang Xian said softly, ¡°Squad monitor, it¡¯s already too late for you to give orders now. Who would listen to you? Are you not going to fight back? I¡¯m going to say this first; I¡¯m planning to ¡®kill¡¯ you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian, who had already exchanged more than ten moves with the Team B monitor, showed no signs of fatigue on her face. Her breathing wasn¡¯t messy, and she seemed to have endless energy!


    But even so, the squad monitor of Team B was almost driven mad by her!


    He was speechless as he looked at the students who were running around. He was now very sure that the main force of Luo Fei¡¯s Team A was not here! Their team would have been long gone if so many people had waited to ambush them.


    The Squad monitor¡¯s face was red with anger, but he did not reply to her. There was a vague sense of danger when his cold eyes fell on her. Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful lips curved up, and she looked at him provocatively and sarcastically.


    ¡°I heard our squad leader Luo Fei say that if you can directly ¡®kill¡¯ the enemy¡¯s squad leader in the match, you can get a few points! Not only the students, but the Squad monitor¡¯s results outside of the assessment could also add some extra points! If I want our squad monitor Luo Fei to get this, I¡¯ll have to let you down first!¡±

 Chapter 343 - 343 Chapter 343. An Empty Fort Strategy?

    343 Chapter 343. An Empty Fort Strategy?


    ¡°If you still don¡¯t fight back seriously, I¡¯m going to do it for real!¡±


    On the girl¡¯s delicate and beautiful face, a smile like a flower in full bloom in spring appeared, so beautiful that it was dazzling.


    Zhuang Xian only gave a faint smile, and it even carried a hint of provocation and ill-intent, but it was still so beautiful that it could move one¡¯s soul!


    If there weren¡¯t so much danger behind Zhuang Xian¡¯s smile, the squad monitor of Team B would have admired Zhuang Xian¡¯s beauty. However, he didn¡¯t seem to be in the mood for such leisure.


    He quickly stepped back and looked away from Zhuang Xian. When he turned around, he wanted to grab a teammate trying to slip away from him. His harsh words were still stuck in his throat when Zhuang Xian hit him again.


    The Team B monitor was infuriated by Zhuang Xian¡¯s constant pestering. He raised his hand, pointed at Zhuang Xian, who was sitting opposite him, and shouted, ¡°Zhuang Xian! Seeing that you¡¯re a student, I¡¯ll be more tolerant of you. You¡¯d better know how to appreciate my kindness! Please don¡¯t force me to attack you! I don¡¯t care about you guys now that Luo Fei is not here!¡±


    ¡°Yo! Squad monitor, you finally saw through it. I thought you were like your students and couldn¡¯t see through my Empty Fort Strategy.¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she slowly shook her neck as if the intense fighting earlier had not caused her to loosen her muscles.


    As if she had thought of something, she chuckled and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t I been trying to persuade you to attack me? Did I say that you should give in to me? Squad monitor, you¡¯re hilarious!¡±


    Li Qin looked at the Team B students, who were running in all directions, but he didn¡¯t give chase. Instead, he walked straight out from behind the big tree.


    He looked at his sister Xian¡¯s excited face and knew that it had been a long since Zhuang Xian had met such a serious opponent. She was already filled with fighting spirit.


    He turned his head and looked at the scene in the middle. The students they shot all looked indignant and were shouting, but no one cared.


    ¡°Our sister Xian doesn¡¯t like it when people tell her to appreciate favors! Squad monitor, you¡¯ve just stepped on something she doesn¡¯t like.¡± As Li Qin spoke, he looked sideways at Team B¡¯s squad monitor.


    His current situation could be said to be very awkward!


    Half of the fifty students he led had already ¡®died¡¯ in the ambush. Naturally, most could only care about their ¡®safety¡¯ and escape from this place while wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.


    They didn¡¯t even bother to look back as they ran. They were also shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to reorganize their counterattack!


    This comical and absurd scene made the Squad monitor not know whether to laugh or cry. He snorted coldly when he heard Zhuang Xian and Li Qin¡¯s words. ¡°You guys are just playing around with them like you¡¯re playing house! Do you want to fight me? That¡¯s very different. I¡¯ll be serious and won¡¯t go easy on you! If you¡¯re injured or disabled, don¡¯t blame me!¡±


    As he said this, he had already thrown away the backpack on his shoulder. He stared at Zhuang Xian as if he had already prepared a bowl of poison.


    Zhuang Xian smiled lazily at him, not caring what the Team B monitor was saying. Her carefree attitude made it seem like she was taking a stroll in her garden.


    Without wasting any more time, Zhuang Xian raised the hand, not holding the dagger. With her palm facing up, she casually hooked her finger at him. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with a hint of nonchalance!


    Reality had proven that no matter how rational a man was, he would not be able to withstand such provocation. The Squad monitor of Team B saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s actions, and a raging fire was already burning in her heart, and it was already burning more and more fiercely!


    He twisted his neck and held a dagger longer than the one in Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. He charged at Zhuang Xian with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes!

 Chapter 344 - 344 Chapter 344. Capture The King And The Thief

    344 Chapter 344. Capture The King And The Thief


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes lit up, and she rushed forward at a fantastic speed!


    Lin Feng felt that his current position could no longer satisfy his need to go down and watch the battle. He stood up with his gun and headed straight for Zhuang Xian!


    By the time Lin Feng was standing beside Li Qin, Zhuang Xian was already engaged in a fierce battle with the Team B monitor. The two of them were locked in a fierce battle.


    Lin Feng could not tell that these were all moves that put one¡¯s life on the line. All he knew was that Zhuang Xian¡¯s movements were much more precise and efficient, forcing the Team B monitor to take a few steps back!


    Zhuang Xian had the upper hand. She had always been on the offensive, and her swift and decisive fighting posture pleased the eye. Lin Feng suppressed the worry in his heart, gulped, and asked, ¡°Can sister Xian win? I can see the viciousness in his eyes. He shouldn¡¯t be a simple person! Why don¡¯t we take advantage of this moment and directly shoot him to ¡®end¡¯ his life? What if sister Xian gets injured again?¡±


    As he spoke, he couldn¡¯t help but start to worry again, and the gun in his hand tightened.


    Li Qin sighed softly and explained, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! He¡¯s no match for sister Xian, and he¡¯s just trying to buy time. He¡¯ll lose sooner or later!¡±


    When Lin Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Li Qin.


    Zhang Yang, who had just come down from the hill, and another team member were equally surprised.


    Zhang Yang licked his dry lips and asked, ¡°Brother Qin, is what you said true? Is sister Xian that powerful? Can she beat the squad monitor of Team B? Oh my God! Is sister Xian some deity?¡±


    The other male member standing beside him and watching the fight widened his eyes in shock as he watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s vigorous and swift movements!


    To have such high combat power, was he sure that she was a freshman? Could she be an instructor in disguise? Otherwise, how could they explain their vice squad monitor¡¯s strong military combat organization ability?


    They had just won the battle with fewer people by taking advantage of the geographical advantage and the ¡®discord¡¯ between them and the opponent! The reason why they were able to win was all because of Zhuang Xian¡¯s strategic planning. She had made full use of everyone¡¯s strengths and made use of them to their fullest! It was also because she had long guessed the biggest weakness of Team B students. Of course, it was also the fatal point!


    Without the command of their squad leader, this motley crew would automatically turn into a pile of sand and lose their combat power and ability to fight back!


    They were deserters on the battlefield who the five-man strong knife team of Team A had directly crushed. Their squad monitor couldn¡¯t make up for it and stick it back together!


    None of them cared if this was a battle or not. They only knew it was related to their interests, so they immediately abandoned the entire team, including the instructor and squad monitor leading them in the cross-country military training.


    ¡°Why are you asking so many questions? Can¡¯t you see it yourself?¡± Li Qin glanced at Zhang Yang and the boy on the team.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s fighting style was fierce, like a blood-drinking blade with its edge drawn. Her murderous aura was fully released. She felt comfortable all over, and the warlike factor in her bones was boiling. Zhuang Xian¡¯s entire body was glowing!


    At first, the squad leader of Team B could no longer handle Zhuang Xian¡¯s attacks. He saw the dagger that Zhuang Xian was swinging at him and quickly bent down to dodge it. At that moment, a terrible thought flashed through his mind. He wanted to touch the gun on his waist.


    That was, of course, a real gun. It was assigned to each of their squad leaders by Lei Cheng to protect the students in an emergency or to help them escape. For example, when they encounter significant unsolvable danger, they could have a way back and choose to defend themselves and counterattack!


    Lei Cheng had never thought that there would be a squad monitor who would use this gun on students! After all, it was a soldier¡¯s duty to obey orders. No one should be so crazy!


    ¡°Zhuang Xian! I advise you not to go too far!¡± As he spoke, he straightened his back and slowly stood up!

 Chapter 345 - 345 Chapter 345. Self

    345 Chapter 345. Self-esteem


    The redness in his eyes surged out like a beast that had been fed with blood.


    Team B¡¯s Squad monitor, although his grades in the military were never the best, it didn¡¯t mean that he could accept that he was being toyed with and threatened by a first-year student. He couldn¡¯t allow such an outrageous thing to happen to him!


    If he lost to Zhuang Xian in the match, what would he do when he returned to the Army? Did he still want his face?


    Even if the one who defeated him were an excellent seedling that Luo Fei was full of praise, it would not do! Or rather, it was because Luo Fei had complimented Zhuang Xian before that he was even more against it.


    He didn¡¯t want to be looked down upon by anyone anymore!


    He was so jealous of Luo Fei that he could die from jealousy. Therefore, when he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s aggressive and unreserved fighting style, the anger in his heart burned even more vigorously. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly dodged Zhuang Xian¡¯s whip leg. He shouted angrily, ¡°Zhuang Xian! Don¡¯t force me!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him with a smile. ¡°Squad monitor, why don¡¯t you have a martial rank? If you can¡¯t beat me, you can admit defeat. If you let us get points, I won¡¯t fight with you. I¡¯m also quite bored!¡±


    The Team B monitor¡¯s fighting strength had not reached Zhuang Xian¡¯s expectations. He did not even have the power to take a few dozen moves from Zhuang Xian. She had overestimated him.


    Now that Zhuang Xian had seen through his embarrassment, she also felt no point in bullying him. She only wanted to get her marks. As for the squad monitor, she didn¡¯t want to bother him.


    However, Zhuang Xian did not know that what she was doing now was the one that would most likely anger the Team B monitor!


    After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, he looked like he had suffered a colossal insult. His face was so dark that black water could be wrung out.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian and laughed coldly. ¡°You want to exchange it for points? Are you even worthy? I¡¯ve long been disdainful of these lousy rules. Who wants to come over and help train you bunch of ignorant brats? I have a better place to go!


    ¡°You! And Luo Fei! What right do you have to stop me? I¡¯m the one who should stand beside Captain Lei Cheng in his place! Luo Fei is taking the position that originally belonged to me!¡±


    It was as if he had gone mad, complaining about the matter that had been hidden and depressing in his heart for a long time to the students in front of him who had nothing to do with it!


    Zhuang Xian frowned. She looked at him with confusion and doubt.


    She chuckled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t those with true ability decide all the matters in the military? That is the simplest place in the world; what else could there be? It¡¯s just that you¡¯re not as good as him and were replaced by Chief Instructor Lei. You can¡¯t blame our squad monitor for that, can you?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re just a kid; what do you know? This matter is not that simple! Luo Fei is a hypocrite who loves to curry favor with the rich! You think he¡¯s a good person?¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian and the people behind her. After laughing sarcastically, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, ¡°Oh! When your team is in trouble, didn¡¯t you and him help each other? Now, you are jackals of the same tribe. Your family background must be pretty good, too; that¡¯s why Luo Fei is so intoxicating with you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at this ugly man and chuckled, dimming the light in her eyes.


    When Li Qin saw that the Team B monitor was such a despicable person, he immediately laughed out loud.


    He carried his gun, took a step forward to stand beside Zhuang Xian, and said sarcastically, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether our squad monitor is the kind of person you say he is. I want to ask you, what does this have to do with us using you to exchange for points? Or are you trying to use this incident to gain sympathy from sister Xian, so we¡¯ll let you go?¡±


    Li Qin frowned as he looked at Team B monitor, who was secretly starting to get lucky again. ¡°This is just a training session. Aren¡¯t you overthinking?¡±

 Chapter 346 - 346 Chapter 346. Dogfight

    346 Chapter 346. Dogfight


    ¡°Our goal is straightforward. We want to exchange you for points. You¡¯re not as good as him, so you¡¯d better admit defeat as soon as possible! You wouldn¡¯t die if you lost once! Our sister Xian only wanted to exchange a few moves with you, but from the looks of it, we¡¯ve overestimated you. You aren¡¯t worth our sister Xian¡¯s time.¡±


    Although Li Qin¡¯s words were similar to comforting words, at the same time, he was also stabbing a dull knife into the other party¡¯s heart.


    If Team B¡¯s squad monitor could swallow his anger and not care about these things, he would not have fought with Zhuang Xian just now. Li Qin only wanted to help their squad monitor Luo Fei to vent his anger!


    Lin Feng frowned and looked at the person opposite him. After thinking for a while, he said, ¡°What do you mean by fawning? We didn¡¯t see it anyway. You¡¯d better surrender now. Otherwise, you¡¯ll still lose to us after resisting tenaciously. You¡¯ll be a joke to your team for nothing.


    Behind them, the students who had just been ¡®shot¡¯ were sitting on the ground, watching the show with great interest!


    They seemed to accept the failure of their team very quickly and happily. They didn¡¯t feel sad or angry at all, nor did they want to take revenge. They were also very aware of the situation. If they had not fled in all directions when they saw that their team was being ambushed, they might have been able to scold Team A for being shameless and despicable!


    However, after what had just happened, they had witnessed Zhuang Xian¡¯s terrifying power. Even their squad monitor was no match for Zhuang Xian, so what was the point of resisting? Wouldn¡¯t that be a waste of time?


    As for their squad monitor, although he was a little upset about being beaten to the point where he couldn¡¯t fight back, it wasn¡¯t too deep. In any case, he looked like he was eating and waiting for death. All he wanted was to get through the remaining ten days quickly so he could return to his original life!


    However, in the eyes of the Team B monitor, this wasn¡¯t a simple matter. He looked at the few students who were talking and snorted. Then, he got into his stance again and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°You want to get points? That¡¯s good! But you can only come and get it yourself! Tell the others to stay away from me!¡±


    Anyway, it was just an act of military training!


    Zhuang Xian looked at him calmly, thinking to herself that there shouldn¡¯t be anything wrong with this person, right? Judging from the battle, he was not her opponent at all. Now, he still wanted to challenge her. Did he not see the situation?


    ¡°Even if I don¡¯t fight with you, you¡¯ll still have to give up your ¡®life¡¯ to help us get the points we deserve!¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, she beckoned Li Qin with her finger.


    Li Qin understood and raised the gun in his hand, pointing it straight at him. A malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.


    The squad monitor of Team B was so angry at Zhuang Xian¡¯s unconventional way of doing things that he almost vomited blood on the spot.


    He glanced at the backpack and the simulated gun that had slipped far away. He was thinking of a hazardous plan in his heart, but he still said, ¡°Really? Then you can try this!¡±


    Zhuang Xian and Li Qin¡¯s observation skills were excellent, so how could they have missed these little tricks of his? Li Qin stepped forward, his gun pointed at him, and he warned, ¡°You¡¯d better behave yourself!¡±


    However, just as he finished his warning, he saw the other party pull a pitch-black gun from behind his waist. Before he could react, Zhuang Xian¡¯s sudden shout from behind him had already snapped him out of his daze!


    ¡°Li Qin, quickly dodge! He¡¯s holding a real gun!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes widened as she watched her opponent fire a shot at the defenseless Li Qin. Her heart stopped beating for a moment. She was like a swift cheetah; without any leverage or momentum, she pounced on Li Qin with the strength of her muscles.


    The bullet seemed to have slid across Zhuang Xian¡¯s arm. When the two of them fell to the ground, Li Qin was carried by Zhuang Xian and rolled two times on the fallen leaves, barely avoiding the two additional shots from the Team B monitor.


    It seemed like he wanted the two students to die.

 Chapter 347 - 347 Chapter 347. The Real Gun

    347 Chapter 347. The Real Gun


    Lin Feng, Zhang Yang, and the people behind them were all scared to death by the scene in front of them. They had never seen a real gun shooting people. They had only been running around the jungle with a simulated gun for the past two days!


    Zhuang Xian protected Li Qin and helped him up. They hid behind a tree a few meters away. She shouted at Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, ¡°You guys should also quickly find a place to hide! This man dog seems to have gone crazy!¡±


    Lin Feng quickly regained his senses and pulled Zhang Yang and another party member to hide behind a tree trunk on their right.


    As for the students of Team B, they were so frightened by the actual gunshot that they were all screaming.


    This wasn¡¯t the momentum the simulated guns could produce in their hands!


    ¡°Hahaha! How was it now? Didn¡¯t I warn you not to go overboard? Please don¡¯t force me like this!


    And the result? You guys didn¡¯t listen! And now? Why are you still afraid of death?¡±


    However, the Team B monitor didn¡¯t seem to care about these people¡¯s shouts and screams. He didn¡¯t care about the other members of the knife team. He only went for Zhuang Xian and Li Qin.


    As he said these provocative and sarcastic words, he walked closer and closer to Zhuang Xian and Li Qin. His eyes had a crazed look as if he had gone crazy. ¡°Zhuang Xian, aren¡¯t you very good at fighting? Am I not worth your effort? Then why don¡¯t you show yourself now! Hahaha! Who would want to compete with you in physical combat these days? We have better weapons!¡±


    Zhuang Xian tugged at Li Qin¡¯s arm and looked him up and down. She asked anxiously, ¡°You¡¯re not hurt, are you? The bullet didn¡¯t graze you, did it?¡±


    Li Qin nodded. Looking at the anxious Zhuang Xian, he smiled and replied, ¡°No! Sister Xian, your reaction was fast. His bullet didn¡¯t hit me!¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had heaved a sigh of relief, Li Qin wanted to look behind the tree to see if the Team B monitor was walking towards them, but Zhuang Xian immediately pulled him back.


    ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± Zhuang Xian shouted coldly. ¡°Why are you sticking your head out at this time? Do you want to die?¡±


    Li Qin gulped and asked softly, ¡°He can¡¯t be thinking of killing us with a gun, right? We don¡¯t have any weapons that can compete with them! I¡¯m still young and don¡¯t want to die at all! I haven¡¯t lived long enough!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Li Qin indifferently and leaned against the tree trunk to gauge the sound of his footsteps!


    Who said that she didn¡¯t have any weapons in her hands? Not to mention that she still had a dagger, and even if she was barehanded, she had many ways to take down this idiot who was arrogant with a real gun!


    ¡°Zhuang Xian! Come out here!¡± He was still screaming madly as if he had suddenly lost his mind.


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and raised her voice, ¡°Squad monitor, we were practicing. Those unpleasant words, aren¡¯t they the truth? Did this stimulate your fragile and young heart? You¡¯re acting as if you¡¯re facing a great enemy, as if I¡¯m your enemy. Why? Isn¡¯t it too much for you to shoot at us, students? When Instructor Lei sees you like this, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll look down on you even more!¡±


    Zhang Yang lifted his head and listened to the commotion. When he heard that sister Xian was still provoking the other party, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.


    He grabbed Lin Feng¡¯s arm nervously, but he seemed to be talking to himself. ¡°What is Sister Xian doing? The other party is holding a real gun. If this hit someone, wouldn¡¯t that person be finished? How could she anger the other party?¡±


    Lin Feng pulled his arm out of Zhang Yang¡¯s grasp and looked at him indifferently. He then replied softly, ¡°What do you know? Sister Xian is trying to goad him into action! When the other party thought of pulling out a gun to threaten her, he was probably already very dissatisfied with Sister Xian! I¡¯m guessing he¡¯s trying to find something. Squad monitor Luo Fei by defeating Sister Xian!¡±


    ¡°What is it?¡± Their other teammate was already trembling in fear.


    If it weren¡¯t for the special military training, students like them would never have seen such a scary scene in their entire lives. Hence, it wasn¡¯t surprising that they were so frightened.

 Chapter 348 - 348 Chapter 348. Trash, Looking For Death

    348 Chapter 348. Trash, Looking For Death


    As for Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, they seemed to have been trained by Zhuang Xian and Li Qin to be more courageous; when they saw such a real fight, they overcame their fear!


    ¡°Poor self-esteem, or maybe he¡¯s arrogant because he¡¯s too high up but too low!¡± As Lin Feng spoke, a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and threw it at the man who was still clueless about the situation!


    ¡°Take a look at the blade, silly squad leader!¡± He didn¡¯t forget to shout. After shouting, he grabbed Zhang Yang¡¯s head with one hand each and pulled Zhang Yang and his teammate back behind the tree trunk.


    The Team B monitor¡¯s reaction was still swift. He turned around with the gun in his hand, and the dagger flying toward him fell to the ground. As he was about to mock this student who didn¡¯t know his place, a cold blade suddenly came from behind and nicked across his neck. His sharp intuition saved him. If Zhuang Xian had used more strength, he would have been dead now!


    He immediately aimed the gun at Zhuang Xian. As he was about to pull the trigger, Zhuang Xian¡¯s leg was faster. With a sidekick, she kicked his wrist, which was holding the gun!


    The pain made him subconsciously release his fingers. When he returned to his senses, the gun had already fallen to the ground. He roared and swung his fist at Zhuang Xian, but Zhuang Xian dodged it nimbly!


    Zhuang Xian slid past him and kicked the gun that had fallen to the ground. She shouted, ¡°Li Qin!¡±


    Li Qin, who had long since made his way to the opposite side, quickly ran over and bent down to pick up the gun on the ground. He clenched the firearm and raised it with both arms, pointing the black muzzle straight at the Team B monitor. He said coldly, ¡°Surrender!¡±


    Zhuang Xian stood two steps away from the Team B monitor and looked at him warily.


    Zhuang Xian guessed he probably had no more tricks up his sleeve, so she laughed sarcastically. ¡°How is it? You can¡¯t do anything to me even if you have a gun! Trash will always be trash. If you want something that doesn¡¯t belong to you, you¡¯ll only suffer more and more! I believe that you should understand this feeling very well, right?¡±


    She was telling the truth, but it became the best gunpowder when it fell into the man¡¯s ears.


    The man looked at Zhuang Xian. His right wrist was still in intense pain, but he couldn¡¯t care less. When he heard the word ¡± trash ¡± coming out of Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth, he threw a straight punch at her like a madman!


    His eyes were red, and he no longer cared. He only wanted to tear this person who was used to hurting him apart! He was not trash!


    Zhuang Xian looked at the man charging toward her again, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. She pressed her body down and attacked him. Her clenched fists were full of murderous intent and fierceness this time. She murmured, ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡±


    Li Qin raised the gun in his hand. He was also a little stunned. He could not understand this man¡¯s stubbornness and his desire to die. He shook his head and put down his gun.


    ¡°Why does he have to fight sister Xian? Why are you still a soldier if you can¡¯t stand the stimulation? You¡¯re weak!¡± Zhang Yang stood beside Li Qin and said what Li Qin wanted to say.


    The group stood around the battlefield, watching excitedly and somewhat helplessly. There were even some students from Team B who were not afraid of death. They slowly stuck their heads out and looked at the scene in front of them. Each of them widened their eyes, and their mouths were half-open, extremely shocked.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian is too f*cking strong! Was she just a freshman this year? Why did she look like a god of death?¡±


    It wasn¡¯t that Li Qin didn¡¯t notice these people watching the show; he just couldn¡¯t be bothered to care.


    In any case, they were right in this matter. They were not afraid of the school¡¯s pursuit. On the contrary, they feared that the military would have to apologize. Some people had been beaten up by their sister Xian, and they would probably be punished when they returned to the base!


    After all, shooting at the students without permission was not something that could be easily brushed off with a few words, not to mention that he had shot at the two precious grandchildren of the old chief, Li Zhen.


    Team B¡¯s squad monitor, it seemed like he had no fate with the Army this time!

 Chapter 349 - 349 Chapter 349. The killer god Zhuang Xian

    349 Chapter 349. The killer god Zhuang Xian


    No one had ever been able to gain the upper hand in a close-range fight with Zhuang Xian, not even an expert like Li Zhen. Therefore, they did not have to worry about the inferior soldier in front of them, who was not even comparable to Luo Fei.


    He actually had the whimsical idea of competing with Zhuang Xian. He really overestimated himself and was so stupid.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s steel-like fists landed heavily on the Team B monitor¡¯s body as if it was free!


    Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth and the madness in his eyes began to dissipate. He finally knew the vast difference between him and Zhuang Xian.


    He was a little scared after being hit by Zhuang Xian. His body trembled and he staggered two steps back, but how could Zhuang Xian let him go so easily?


    Zhuang Xian made use of the momentum to kick him away with a beautiful and clean kick.


    The man was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. After flying for a few meters, he finally crashed to the ground!


    Zhuang Xian retracted her legs and stood up straight. Her posture was still as tall and thin as before, but she had a kind of overbearing and intimidating aura.


    She was a well-known assassin of an organization in Country Z. Among the three top assassins in the underworld gate, she was called the ¡°Silente¡±. She was regarded as the new king of combat by the assassins of the underworld gate. She was unrivaled in the world.


    From this perspective, it was not embarrassing for the Team B monitor to lose to Zhuang Xian. He should be proud of it.


    This was because in the assassin world of Country Z, there were many assassins who dreamed of exchanging a few moves with Zhuang Xian. However, Zhuang Xian came and went without a trace, so they basically could not get close to her.


    The Team B monitor clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!


    He fell to the ground, his breathing so weak that it was almost non-existent. He knew that his ribs were probably broken, and he couldn¡¯t breathe because his lungs had been injured!


    Zhuang Xian did not have any backup plans for this kick. She probably really wanted him dead!


    The Team B monitor, who was lying on the ground, had a pained expression on his face. He felt as if a black shadow was attacking him. For a moment, he thought that he was going to die.


    When Luo Fei, who had split up and brought the rest of his teammates back from the forest, he was standing on a hill not far from Zhuang Xian and the others. He saw the entire scene of her fight just now!


    Naturally, the other students who had been panting behind him all this time had also seen what was happening, including Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie, who were at the back.


    Zhuang Jie knew that Zhuang Xian¡¯s martial arts skills were not bad. In the past, she and An Ye had also suffered some hidden losses because of her. However, what Zhuang Jie did not expect was that Zhuang Xian¡¯s martial arts skills had already reached such a shocking level! Even the Team B monitor, who had been trained for years, was no match for her!


    She felt that the world was too strange and mysterious. What could she and Ye Xin use to fight Zhuang Xian?


    Zhuang Xian could probably crush the two of them to death with a single finger.


    Luo Fei carried his gun and rushed down the hill. When he was close to Zhuang Xian and the rest, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did I hear the sound of a real gun being fired?¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at the heavily injured Team B monitor on the ground not far away. When he turned back to look at Zhuang Xian, he already had some guesses in his heart, but he still asked, ¡°Zhuang Xian, why did you fight with the Team B monitor? You¡¯re not hurt, are you? Who fired the gun just now?¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he took a few steps towards Luo Fei and raised his hand to hand over the gun that he had been holding earlier. He then looked at the person on the ground and explained, ¡°Squad monitor, this is his gun! Just now, Team B¡¯s Squad monitor was no match for the Vice squad monitor in close combat, so he got angry out of embarrassment and pulled out his pistol to kill and scare us!¡±


    ¡°What did you just say? Did he shoot you with a gun?¡± Luo Fei asked in surprise.

 Chapter 350 - 350 Chapter 350. Demonized With Jealousy

    350 Chapter 350. Demonized With Jealousy


    Luo Fei thought of something and frowned deeply. He looked sideways at the people on the ground as if he had not expected things to turn out this way.


    When he was picking up scraps in the forest, he heard a gunshot and felt something was wrong. He had a hunch, so he rushed over with his men.


    He had some guesses, but he never thought that the Team B monitor would be so insane!


    There were no giant wild beasts in Blue Eagle Mountain. Lei Cheng had given each of them a pistol as the class monitor in case of an accident. It was for the class monitor to use to protect the students.


    He had never thought the pistol¡¯s muzzle would be aimed at a student!


    No matter how he looked at it, it was a little unusual. Luo Fei felt it was strange and wanted to find an answer from Zhuang Xian.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian, standing in front of him, and asked with a frown, ¡°Why would he do that? Even if he¡¯s angry, he shouldn¡¯t be so extreme and impulsive. So, Zhuang Xian, you must tell me everything that happened just now!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Luo Fei¡¯s severe expression and frowned slightly. She suddenly saw two familiar figures behind him and smiled. ¡°Yes, squad monitor! Our knife group¡¯s ambush on Team B went very smoothly. You¡¯ll understand when you see the Team B students scurrying around in the forest! However, their squad monitor ¡­¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled. It was as if a bright flower had bloomed on her beautiful face, moving one¡¯s heart.


    However, the coldness and fierceness hidden in her eyes made people feel that she was unattainable and cold.


    ¡°It seems like he couldn¡¯t accept the fact that he¡¯s going to lose to me, or to be more precise, he couldn¡¯t accept the fact that he¡¯s going to lose to a girl who¡¯s still wet behind her ears and you, squad monitor. That¡¯s why he¡¯s so hysterical and wants to defeat me. I¡¯ve always liked to be challenged by others, so I took the initiative to accept the challenge. But who knew that he was arrogant, but his ability was weak! That¡¯s why it¡¯s like this now!¡±


    Zhuang Xian said these words with a light smile. Her smile was full of verbal attacks that could anger people to death.


    This kind of enigma was not exclusive to evil people. Our Zhuang Xian was also an expert in it. This was because when she spoke like this, she could anger the enemy to death, and it would be more comfortable for her to look at it!


    The reborn Zhuang Xian had never thought of herself as a good person.


    Looking at Luo Fei and the students behind him, who all had complicated and surprised expressions, Zhuang Xian raised her hand disdainfully to signal Li Qin to go over and see if he was still alive!


    Her indifferent attitude sent chills down Zhuang Jie¡¯s spine, and she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Ye Xin, on the other hand, looked at the Team B monitor and Zhuang Xian as she fell into deep thought. Her clever brain told her that this matter wasn¡¯t as simple as it seemed!


    Now, as long as someone thought about the things that had happened before, they would realize that Zhuang Xian was very strange and suspicious!


    ¡°It¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t give him a chance at the beginning, but he wouldn¡¯t listen and insisted on taking advantage of me. It seems this is the only way to compensate for his jealousy of the squad monitor!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she glanced sideways at Zhuang Jie and chuckled. ¡°Some people are good at blaming their incompetence and cowardice on another outstanding and intelligent person. They would never reflect on their faults and only blindly think someone else had stolen their things! Isn¡¯t this laughable?¡±


    Luo Fei understood Zhuang Xian¡¯s description of the incident, but he did not quite understand what she meant by the latter part.


    Those were not the most important things. At present, some doubts in Luo Fei¡¯s heart need to be answered immediately.


    Luo Fei looked at Zhuang Xian, licked his dry lips, and said, ¡°I¡¯m very willing to believe what you said. You have no reason to hurt the Team B monitor!¡±

 Chapter 351 - 351 Chapter 351. Explanation

    351 Chapter 351. Explanation


    ¡°However, in order to explain it to Instructor Lei, I still have to confirm some details in case something unexpected happens later!¡±


    As Luo Fei spoke, he glanced at the students behind him. He thought for a moment before he continued, ¡°Let¡¯s find a quiet place later. You can tell me about this so that I can report to Instructor Lei! Looking at his current situation, a new person will probably be assigned to lead Team B!¡±


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian did not comment on Luo Fei¡¯s instructions and reminders. She nodded her head lightly to show that she understood.


    Lin Feng and Zhang Yang stood on both sides, watching their sister Xian being ¡®lectured¡¯ by the Squad monitor again. Their faces were filled with indignation!


    But Lin Feng looked at the people around them and realized that the Squad monitor was doing this for sister Xian.


    Even though they were in the right, in this situation, if they really wanted to help Zhuang Xian shut up the crowd, they couldn¡¯t just spread the word and let the crowd see what they wanted.


    These children still needed someone to uphold justice for them, to judge the right and wrong of this matter, and to punish the bad guys!


    As Zhuang Xian¡¯s squad monitor, it was Luo Fei¡¯s duty to protect her. However, he could not do it too openly in the current situation. After all, Zhuang Xian had already beaten him into a pig¡¯s head! Out of some basic humanitarian concerns, Luo Fei decided to be kind and go over to see how the person was.


    Though Li Qin had gone over to take a closer look under Zhuang Xian¡¯s instructions and had expressed that this person¡¯s life was not in danger, the Team B squad monitor was still a teammate who had once worked together with him. It was only right for him to show some concern!


    Even though the other party was not very willing to accept it.


    Zhang Yang only dared to complain to Zhuang Xian when he saw the squad monitor walking over to the other side. ¡°What is the class monitor thinking? This matter was clearly placed in front of them and couldn¡¯t be any clearer! Why did he ask sister Xian to report to him? He¡¯s making it seem like we¡¯re in the wrong. There are so many people here, and they¡¯re all our witnesses! Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s afraid of the other party turning against you?¡±


    Zhang Yang had been holding in his anger for too long, and his eloquence had also improved by leaps and bounds when he ridiculed the squad monitor. It was just that his brain was not working fast enough.


    Zhuang Xian turned around and looked at him. She pinched his fingers and turned away from the crowd. She found a big tree and sat on the ground. Then, she said to Zhang Yang in a happy mood, ¡°The Squad monitor has his reasons for doing this. Just listen!¡±


    As she spoke, she glanced at the other teammates around her, especially Lin Feng, who didn¡¯t look too good. She continued, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Lin Feng? You guys aren¡¯t hurt, are you?¡±


    When Lin Feng saw that Zhuang Xian had noticed him, he quickly shook his head but did not speak.


    Another of their teammates looked at Zhuang Xian, who was sitting on the ground, with admiration and respect in his eyes. Like Lin Feng, he shook his head in response.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin Feng and chuckled. Then, she said, ¡°The knife you threw just now was very well timed. It distracted him and helped me. Not bad!


    Hearing the girl he liked praise him like that, no boy would be unhappy. Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian and smiled gently. ¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence! It¡¯s good enough that I can help you and Brother Qin.¡±


    It¡¯s more than just very good! I can see that your comprehension of firearms and combat is outstanding! The way the ¡®sniper¡¯ did it just now did not look like it was his second time holding a gun! Hahaha, you¡¯re already very good!¡±


    As she spoke, she glanced at the other two people sitting beside Lin Feng and said with a smile, ¡°Of course, you two are also very good! The members of our sharp knife group are all good!¡±

 Chapter 352 - 352 Chapter 352. Zhuang Jies Suspicion

    352 Chapter 352. Zhuang Jie¡¯s Suspicion


    ¡°When we go back for dinner later, we¡¯ll have to ask the Squad monitor to give us two extra chicken legs each. Only then will we be worthy of our hard work just now!¡±


    When Li Qin mentioned food, Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes lit up. He nodded his head in agreement. His greedy look made Lin Feng and Li Qin laugh.


    Zhuang Xian smiled as well. However, when she saw Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie walking towards her from afar, the smile on her face faded.


    The first thing Ye Xin did when she walked over was to smile at Zhang Yang. She was a pure and beautiful woman. Her gentle smile was enough to melt the hearts of anyone who saw her.


    Zhang Yang let out a heavy sigh and retracted his gaze. He had nothing to say to this member of their five-man team. He couldn¡¯t understand Ye Xin, and he didn¡¯t want to understand her!


    On the other hand, the other boy beside Zhang Yang was in a daze when he saw Ye Xin in such a state. He didn¡¯t know what was wrong with him, but just now, he had a feeling that Ye Xin and Zhuang Xian were similar!


    Ye Xin¡¯s eyes, in particular, did indeed look a little like Zhuang Xian¡¯s. However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were more exquisite and bright. Compared to Ye Xin¡¯s slightly plain and simple face, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were more intense and gorgeous.


    ¡°The Team B students who tried to escape have been captured by the Squad monitor and us! This time, our group was able to win all because of your team¡¯s contribution. You guys did a good job!¡± Ye Xin pretended to smile as she spoke, her eyes never leaving Zhuang Xian.


    Li Qin and the others didn¡¯t want to respond to Ye Xin¡¯s plain and undistinguishable compliments.


    In fact, they had indeed done so!


    Li Qin retracted his gaze. He held a dagger in his hand and carefully wiped it clean. Lin Feng and Zhang Yang looked at each other in tacit understanding. They did not respond to Ye Xin¡¯s words and only looked at her indifferently.


    For a moment, no one responded to Ye Xin¡¯s attempt to strike up a conversation. Even the other boy, who had been in a daze earlier, wisely chose to remain silent after seeing Li Qin and Lin Feng¡¯s attitude.


    Zhuang Jie stood behind Ye Xin and observed Zhuang Xian closely. She furrowed her brows and after a long time, as if she had made a huge decision, she asked Zhuang Xian, ¡°You¡¯re back safe and sound. How¡¯s An Ye? ¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Half a second later, she suddenly understood and replied, ¡°Hearing you mention this name, I really feel like it was a lifetime ago! Why are you asking her? Didn¡¯t you two break up? You didn¡¯t even look at her when she was so badly injured that day, and now you¡¯re here to act like a saint? Even if you don¡¯t find it hypocritical, I think it¡¯s disgusting.¡±


    As she said this, she looked up at Zhuang Jie and found it ridiculous to see her angry and sullen face.


    ¡°However, I¡¯ll still be merciful and tell you! She won¡¯t die, she¡¯s still alive!¡± Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Jie and said with an indifferent expression.


    Zhuang Jie licked her dry lips as if to ease her tense and complicated feelings. ¡°Then what do you want to do to her? That day, the two of you fell behind on your own. What happened between the two of you? Why did she attack you without a care? Did you do something to her?¡±


    In fact, after these two days, she had repeatedly thought about it and felt that something was wrong. An Ye¡¯s motive for doing this and her sudden crazed behavior were indeed quite puzzling!


    Zhuang Jie couldn¡¯t figure out the reason behind this, and neither could Ye Xin. However, Ye Xin wasn¡¯t as stupid as Zhuang Jie.


    She actually went up and asked Zhuang Xian directly! She was too naive. If Zhuang Xian had told them the truth, then she wouldn¡¯t be Zhuang Xian. She wasn¡¯t that stupid!


    Zhuang Xian and Ye Xin had the same thought on this point.


    The smile in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes disappeared. She looked at Zhuang Jie coldly. ¡°Are you mistaken? How can you ask me such a question? You should ask the suspect why she attacked me for no reason. In fact, there are more grudges between us, and you should hate me more than she does!¡±

 Chapter 353 - 353 Chapter 353. Do You Understand?

    353 Chapter 353. Do You Understand?


    ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m also very confused. Why did she want to attack me so aggressively? Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯ve also incited her to do this?¡± Zhuang Xian asked, confused.


    It was only when she saw Zhuang Jie¡¯s expression change that she chuckled and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you best friends with An Ye? She wanted to help you vent your anger and deal with me, so she attacked me with such a vicious hand. Did I guess right, Zhuang Jie?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice was low and gentle, and when it fell into Zhuang Jie¡¯s ears, it was like the whisper of a demon.


    It was as if she wanted to pull her down into the abyss with her. Zhuang Jie¡¯s face turned pale instantly, as if someone had taken away all the color from her body.


    ¡°Bullshit!¡± She hurriedly shouted. ¡°Zhuang Xian, what does this have to do with me? What does An Ye attacking you have to do with me? Don¡¯t try to frame me, I have nothing to do with this!¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s loud voice quickly attracted the attention of her teammates. They all turned their heads and looked at Zhuang Jie, Ye Xin, and Zhuang Xian.


    Some of the students were already frowning at Zhuang Jie. ¡°What¡¯s the fuss about this time? Why do I feel that this female teammate is always finding trouble with the Vice Squad monitor? Does she have some kind of illness?¡±


    ¡°Eh? You¡¯re right! She had been the one bad mouthing the Vice Squad monitor these few times. And the woman beside her, is not a good person! Not to mention that she¡¯s dragging our team back all day, she¡¯s also not a law-abiding person. It¡¯s so annoying to look at her.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Zhuang Jie? We¡¯ve been in the same team for so many days, don¡¯t you know her?¡±


    The girl who had asked the question earlier was a little puzzled. She asked, ¡°Know what? Do you know her?¡±


    As she spoke, she finally came to her senses and said with uncertainty, ¡°Our Vice Squad monitor is called Zhuang Xian, right? Zhuang Jie is also surnamed Zhuang! Could they be relatives?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? However, your reaction speed is a little too slow! Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve been sticking your butt out for military training for the past few days? You¡¯re not going to ask about anything?¡±


    Hearing the boy¡¯s words, the girl blushed and stammered, ¡°A few days ago, I was struggling between life and death and food and clothing. I didn¡¯t have any extra time to find out about this gossip! I feel like I¡¯ve been reborn after this military training! I¡¯m not me anymore!¡±


    Seeing that the girl¡¯s words were getting more and more off-topic, the boy quickly pulled the topic back and started to talk about the relationship between Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Jie to the people around them!


    The Zhuang family was one of the most well-known families in City H, so these noble children also knew some things about the Zhuang family.


    Just as the girl had said, they had been struggling on the line of life and death since the start of the military training. They had never been able to sit down and have a good chat and relax like this.


    At this time, when they talked about other people¡¯s gossip, they were even more energetic.


    As the protagonists of the discussion, Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Jie had already reached a point where they could not get along.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the person in front of her and slowly stood up. She retorted impatiently, ¡°No relationship? Then why do you keep provoking me? What is your intention?¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Ye Xin, the look in her eyes darkening even more. She warned in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯d better not provoke me before I settle the accounts with you! I can¡¯t guarantee what I¡¯ll do! Do you understand?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, her eyes were fixed on Ye Xin. The warning in her words was actually directed at Ye Xin.


    Without An Ye, Zhuang Jie was already half-crippled. After all, with her simple-minded brain, she couldn¡¯t possibly cause too much harm to Zhuang Xian. However, now that she was involved with Ye Xin, this whole situation had become a little strange.

 Chapter 354 - 354 Chapter 354. Within Expectations

    354 Chapter 354. Within Expectations


    Zhuang Xian even pitied Zhuang Jie. First, this idiot was manipulated by An Ye. Now, she was with Ye Xin, who was a schemer. She was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t even know how she died in the future.


    Ye Xin looked deeply at Zhuang Xian and forced a stiff smile before pulling Zhuang Jie away.


    As they were talking to Zhuang Xian, they were surrounded by many people. These people were all looking at them with unfriendly gazes. If they didn¡¯t leave now, they would really drown in their saliva. There was no cure for Zhuang Jie¡¯s stupidity, and Ye Xin didn¡¯t want to be implicated by her!


    In the current situation, it was indeed not suitable to get more information from Zhuang Xian. She had to wait until Zhuang Xian was alone before she could ask her.


    At the thought of this, Ye Xin turned around and glanced at Zhuang Jie. She said helplessly and disdainfully, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that when we go over, I¡¯ll be the one to lead the conversation? I need some information to confirm my suspicions. Why are you asking Zhuang Xian all these unimportant questions the moment you get there? What does An Ye¡¯s matter have to do with you? Who needs your fake kindness?¡±


    The more Ye Xin spoke, the angrier she got. The look in her eyes as she looked at Zhuang Jie gradually darkened. She seemed to have thought of something and sneered at Zhuang Jie. ¡°What? Are you regretting it? Do you regret quarreling with An Ye that day and also cutting ties with her? I couldn¡¯t tell that you¡¯re such a simple person! What were you doing earlier? She might already be gone now, and you¡¯re still here hypocritically trying to defend her!¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s face turned red with anger when she heard Ye Xin¡¯s words.


    ¡°What the hell are you farting about, Ye Xin? She growled at Ye Xin. ¡°No matter what, An Ye is my friend of many years. What right do you have to curse her like this? Even if she had lied to us back then in order to slack off, it wasn¡¯t a deadly sin, right? She was the one who took the initiative to find trouble with Zhuang Xian, wanting to stand up for us! You can¡¯t say that about her!¡±


    Ye Xin found Zhuang Jie extremely funny and felt that she had seen through this idiot.


    She laughed coldly and sneered, ¡°Yes yes yes! It¡¯s my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have slandered An Ye! She¡¯s ¡®sacrificing her life for the sake of justice¡¯, and you¡¯re ¡®close sisters¡¯. How about this? You¡¯re all good people, but I, Ye Xin, am the evil one. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s selfish, cowardly, and only concerned about profit. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s hypocritical! Ha! Fine, I don¡¯t have that much time to waste. Let¡¯s part ways here!¡±


    After Ye Xin finished speaking, she stood up and walked away from Zhuang Jie without waiting for her response.


    She had had enough of allying with that idiot Zhuang Jie!


    Not only was Zhuang Jie not successful, but she was also good at ruining things. She was so stupid that it was unbearable! Forget it. From this moment on, she, Ye Xin, no longer wanted to be involved with Zhuang Jie.


    Zhuang Jie watched as Ye Xin walked away and was almost angered to death by this woman. She¡¯s had enough of Ye Xin¡¯s high and mighty attitude!


    She didn¡¯t know where Ye Xin¡¯s self-confidence came from. She always thought she was very smart, but in reality, she was just calculative and petty. Did she really think she had something special about her? With Ye Xin¡¯s temper, whoever wanted to be good friends with her would be the one with a hole in their brain!


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian still didn¡¯t know that after she returned from the base, Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie had already parted ways with each other without her doing anything.


    It was still the same saying, people who were too conceited and selfish would never become teammates.


    From the very beginning, Zhuang Xian had felt that the alliance between Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie was a joke. The current situation had merely confirmed her suspicions.


    Zhuang Xian had expected them to suspect each other, attack each other, and fall apart.


    The speed at which Luo Fei dealt with the matter was very fast. After Lei Cheng¡¯s knew the specific situation, he also treated the injured immediately.


    In fact, many students and squad monitors had been injured since yesterday¡¯s confrontation.


    However, it was the first time that the squad monitor of Team B had been so seriously injured by a student from the opposite Team. It was quite a rare incident!

 Chapter 355 - 355 Chapter 355. Its Time For You to Change Your Medicine

    355 Chapter 355. It¡¯s Time For You to Change Your Medicine


    Luo Fei sighed when he saw that they had finally been picked up by the helicopter. He saluted the new squad monitor of Team B as a form of greeting. Then, he turned around to look at the students around him and cleared his throat. ¡°Everyone in Team A, gather!¡±


    After a few days of devilish military training, even demons and monsters had been tamed into obedient babies.


    Luo Fei was in a good mood as he looked at the students who quickly formed groups. He smiled at his colleague who was standing beside him. ¡°The students from your team we caught in the forest just now are all here. We won¡¯t wait for you; we¡¯ll be leaving first!¡±


    The new colleague returned Luo Fei¡¯s salute with a bitter smile. He thought that Luo Fei could feel his helplessness and speechlessness at the moment.


    What the hell is this?


    A soldier pointing a gun at his student instead of an enemy? What was he thinking?


    However, he probably would not have the face to stay in the Army. It was embarrassing to be beaten up by a female first-year student. It wasn¡¯t very comfortable!


    The new Squad monitor looked at the back view of Team A¡¯s people as they left. He sized up Zhuang Xian, who was in the crowd and sighed softly. He thought that if he met her again in the future, he would have to talk things out nicely. Grades and everything else was secondary. The most important thing was to be able to live and to live with dignity!


    The students of Team A returned to the campsite on Blue Eagle Mountain with a huge victory and began their half-day rest and military knowledge and training! Some of the students were speechless. Even if they managed to end today¡¯s competition ideally, the military still had many ways to deal with them.


    But most of the students, were already very content. The more they looked at the sultry mountain forest, the more they cherished this simple tent. At least they didn¡¯t have to run around the forest to catch or hide in such hot weather!


    The happiness at this moment was so simple and pure that it made these children suffer!


    They could only stay in their tents so comfortably that they had an extremely brave and intelligent vice squad monitor! That was Zhuang Xian, who had single-handedly led the knife team and defeated Team B¡¯s Squad monitor!


    Everyone looked at Zhuang Xian with gratitude and admiration. Not only was this woman beautiful, but she was also very skilled. She was a blessing to their team.


    Zhuang Xian turned her pen and looked at Luo Fei, who was talking about some combat and training knowledge. She did not seem to feel the attention on her.


    Li Qin sat behind Zhuang Xian and reached out to poke Zhuang Xian¡¯s shoulder. He handed her a clean medical gauze and disinfectant. ¡°I asked the team doctor for these after lunch. Sister Xian, it¡¯s time to change the dressing on your face. Remember to change it after class.¡±


    Zhuang Xian tilted her head and looked at Li Qin, then her gaze slowly fell on his hand. After sighing slightly, she replied softly, ¡°Yes, I know.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she turned around and stuffed it into her pocket. Her heart felt a little warm. She thought that Li Qin, this child, really didn¡¯t hold grudges. It was good that she had agreed to it, and he treated her as usual.


    In fact, she had always kept the words the old man had said to her in her heart and often reflected on them.


    What she couldn¡¯t deny and refute was that her grandfather¡¯s words were very reasonable. She souldn¡¯t have taken revenge on An Ye that day without a care.


    There were too many things in this world that she couldn¡¯t be sure of. She couldn¡¯t take such extreme risks every time she took revenge. She needed more patience and concealment.


    Right now, An Ye and the An family had already been crossed out from her revenge list. The first battle had already been won. Next, it would be Zhuang Jie and Zhuang Ting¡¯s turn!


    Of course, Zhuang Xian would not forget to push forward the important ¡®cooperation¡¯ between Xian Du and Ye Group. She still had to follow up on Yaqing¡¯s work and gain the trust of the Ye Group¡¯s board of directors. It would be easier than being entangled with that old fox Ye Zheng.

 Chapter 356 - 356 Chapter 356. Good Medicine, Bitter Taste?

    356 Chapter 356. Good Medicine, Bitter Taste?


    She hoped that when she went out after the military training, she would be able to hear the good news from Yaqing.


    As Zhuang Xian mulled over these things, she slowly turned her head and sized up Ye Xin, who was sitting not too far away from her. She naturally wanted to leave Ye Xin until the end so she could settle the score with her. She didn¡¯t need to focus on her right now, but she couldn¡¯t just let her guard down.


    After all, Ye Xin wasn¡¯t someone who could be easily dealt with.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze slowly turned around and landed on another person.


    She thought that it was time to get to the bottom of the secret she had left on Zhuang Jie!


    City H, Mo Group.


    Mo Qian raised his head from the pile of documents. After looking at the time, he called out to Mo Xi, who was outside the office, ¡°Bring me my medicine.¡±


    Mo Xi had been waiting outside the door for a long time. He was thinking that if he went in when the young master was so busy, he would not be able to avoid being scolded. He had just made up his mind and was about to ask the young master to drink his medicine, but he did not expect Mo Qian to be so self-conscious.


    He swallowed his words and walked in with the thermos and box.


    After he poured the medicine for the young master, he said respectfully, ¡°The timing is just right. The medicine is not too hot anymore. Young master, drink it while it¡¯s hot.¡±


    Mo Qian put down the things in his hand and picked up the cup. After drinking it in one breath, he took the dessert from Mo Xi with a frown.


    Looking at the young master who was chewing the dessert in big mouthfuls, Mo Xi¡¯s heart ached a little. He mumbled, ¡°Since this Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss has the ability to develop medicine and prescriptions, why doesn¡¯t she adjust the taste of the medicine? Can¡¯t she add some licorice or honey? It must be that every time Young master takes medicine, he has to frown before he can swallow it. It¡¯s really not thoughtful.¡±


    Their young master was such a patient person!


    But even so, when he drank Zhuang Xian¡¯s medicine, he still felt so much pain. One could only imagine how bitter the medicine was!


    Mo Xi¡¯s heart really ached for Mo Qian, and he didn¡¯t mean to pick on Zhuang Xian. However, when Mo Qian heard his words, it was a little different.


    He suppressed the bitterness and spiciness in his mouth and looked at Mo Xi. ¡°What are you mumbling about alone? Is work too easy? Do you need me to find you something to do?¡±


    Mo Xi tactfully closed his mouth and did not dare to ridicule anymore.


    Mo Qian ate a piece of pastry and felt that it was a little too sweet. He frowned and thought of someone¡¯s cooking. ¡°Did anything happen in Blue Eagle Base today? ¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Xi seemed to have just remembered the news he had received at noon. He licked his dry lips and said hurriedly, ¡°The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter is fine, but I heard from young master Lei Cheng that she had crippled a squad monitor. I guess he has not recovered!¡±


    When Mo Qian heard this, he raised his head and looked at Mo Xi. He asked doubtfully, ¡°When did Lei Cheng call? How come I didn¡¯t know about it?¡±


    ¡°Young master, you were in a meeting, so you didn¡¯t pick it up.¡±


    Hearing Mo Xi¡¯s explanation, Mo Qian frowned, and his gaze on Mo Xi became serious.


    Mo Xi had been by Mo Qian¡¯s side for a long time, so he naturally knew that this was the young master¡¯s expression of not being in a good mood. He also understood what the young master was angry about, so he quickly bowed and reported, ¡°When young master Lei Cheng called, he seemed to be in a very good mood. He also said that the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss was fine, and mainly wanted to share with you her ¡®divine bravery¡¯. Seeing that you weren¡¯t here, he didn¡¯t say anything more. I didn¡¯t think it was a big deal, so I didn¡¯t report it to you in time.¡±


    Mo Xi said and gently gulped. Seeing that his young master was still calm and silent, he thought about it and explained, ¡°Because after you finished your meeting, it was almost time for lunch, so I was a little worried.¡±


    ¡°Alright, you may leave.¡± Mo Qian said in an indifferent tone.


    When Mo Xi heard his young master¡¯s tone, he knew in his heart that it was over. He was really angry!

 Chapter 357 - 357 Chapter 357. Punishment For Mo Xi

    357 Chapter 357. Punishment For Mo Xi


    Mo Xi looked up at the indifferent expression on Mo Qian¡¯s face. After thinking for a while, he didn¡¯t say anything to defend himself and turned to leave.


    Mo Qian looked at his slightly aggrieved back and added, ¡°There¡¯s a track on the company¡¯s roof. Go up and run 5 kilometers! When you¡¯re done, come back and tell me why I told you to run. Go!¡±


    After hearing his young master¡¯s words, Mo Xi froze. ¡°Okay ¡±


    Facing the setting sun¡¯s light on Mo¡¯s Consortium¡¯s roof, Mo Xi ran the five kilometers. He fell on the track, panting, and thought about the question his young master had asked him to think about.


    In fact, in the hour and a half that he had been punished to run, Mo Xi had already profoundly reflected on the mistakes he had made today.


    After all, he had been by Mo Qian¡¯s side for many years. If he still couldn¡¯t figure out why his young master was angry and punishing him, he would be too stupid!


    The sound of a wheelchair rolling came from behind him. Mo Xi reacted quickly. He was just about to sit up when he heard Mo Qian speak.


    ¡°Last night, when we returned from Blue Eagle Base, Zhuang Xian and I had a long chat outside her dormitory. I think you must have guessed something since you were behind us.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he raised his hand to block some of the sunlight shining on him. After realizing it was useless, he put down his hand.


    It had been a long time since he had seen such good sunshine, and Mo Qian¡¯s mood had greatly improved.


    Feeling the warmth of the sun on his body, he said, ¡°You and I grew up together. Sometimes, I don¡¯t think of you as my subordinate. I think of you as my brother! You¡¯re the closest and most trusted person I have in the Mo family, other than grandma!¡± He was even stronger than Mo Wei.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t finish the second half of the sentence. He turned back to look at Mo Xi and said indifferently, ¡°If even you can¡¯t accept Zhuang Xian, then I don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to bring her to face grandma!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s words were a little heavy, and when they fell into Mo Xi¡¯s ears, the back of his head felt slightly numb.


    He quickly got up from the ground and half-knelt on the floor. Looking at Mo Qian in the wheelchair, he said stiffly, ¡°I am sorry, young master! I know I was wrong; please forgive me this once! I won¡¯t make my own decisions in the future. I¡¯ll make the matter of the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss the top priority!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian¡¯s eyes softened. He smiled gently and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you can react. I don¡¯t want to see you suffer from the same problem a second time! In my generation, Zhuang Xian is the only young Madam of the Mo family I, Mo Qian, acknowledge. I don¡¯t want the people in our department to ignore my thoughts and wishes. I don¡¯t like people disobeying me; you should be clear about this!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Xi nodded respectfully to Mo Qian and replied, ¡°Young master! Mo Xi understands!¡±


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s good. There are a few annoying flies downstairs. After you rest, go down and clean them up. I don¡¯t want to see anyone from the An family again.¡± Mo Qian instructed nonchalantly before he left in his wheelchair.


    Half-kneeling on the ground, Mo Xi did not dare to be slow. After standing up, he quickly left the company¡¯s roof with legs still abnormally sore and weak.


    Mo¡¯s Group¡¯s office building was probably the grandest and most respectable company in City H. Its extravagance was beyond the imagination of many people.


    An Chuan had never done something like this before, so he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little scared and guilty. He glanced at the old lady, indicating that she could start!


    Old lady An saw her son¡¯s hint and immediately collapsed to the ground, crying and wailing. She lay in front of the Mo Corporation¡¯s entrance and called, ¡°Help! The Mo family has killed someone. He, Mo Qian, is trying to kill our An family! The heavens had no eyes! How can you let such a person bully honest and dutiful people like us? This old lady¡¯s life is bitter! Before her death, her son and granddaughter still have to endure torture and pain! All you know is that our An family has gone bankrupt, but you don¡¯t know that the black-hearted Mo Corporation has harmed us!¡±

 Chapter 358 - 358 Chapter 358. The Troublemaker

    358 Chapter 358. The Troublemaker


    She cried and screamed, but it wasn¡¯t enough. She sat up and tried to grab the corner of the staff or passers-by¡¯s clothes.


    With tears in her eyes, she complained tearfully, ¡°The Mo family took advantage of their wealth and secretly attacked our An family! Mo Qian was the mastermind behind the An family¡¯s downfall! Mo Qian! You conscienceless and damned person, even if I die and become a ghost, I will not let you off!¡±


    While the old lady was wailing, An Chuan ordered the people behind him to pull a huge banner and a loudspeaker in their hands. He shouted to the pedestrians around them, ¡°Mo Qian did something behind my back, manipulated the stock market, and emptied all the An family¡¯s assets! That¡¯s my hard-earned money!


    I¡¯m not afraid of making a fool of myself in public today. I¡¯m here to seek justice from Mo Qian! Mo Qian! Give me justice! Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯ve hidden it well, I won¡¯t know that you¡¯re the one who did it!


    If you have the guts, you sinister and despicable villain, come down and confront me! I¡¯m going to reason with you today. How did the An family offend you? How could you do this to me? Why are you pulling me, you lackey? You dare to do it but dare not admit it, Mo Qian! Get down here!¡±


    The Mo Corporation¡¯s security guards were not to be trifled with. When they discovered An Chuan and old Madam An, they reported it to their superiors. They couldn¡¯t do anything to grandmother An, who was rolling on the ground, but they were already trying to take the others away. The people An Chuan had hired were holding banners; the megaphone was in An Chuan¡¯s hands!


    This did not scare the An mother and son at all. They even made more trouble.


    Old lady, An¡¯s cries for help became more sincere and anxious. An Chuan was about to start fighting with the Mo Corporation¡¯s security guards.


    Suddenly, a large group of reporters carrying cameras and recorders rushed in from behind the crowd surrounding An Chuan and old Madam An. Their cameras panned to the faces of the passers-by and the security guards.


    The reporters¡¯ microphones seemed invincible as they crushed a hole in the crowd. The cameramen who followed closely behind immediately captured the entire scene with their cameras.


    The security guards were stunned by the sudden scene, but they quickly reacted and asked coldly, ¡°What are you guys taking pictures for? Don¡¯t take any photos; they¡¯re causing trouble; we¡¯ve already called the police!¡±


    The reporters didn¡¯t seem to care about the security guards¡¯ response. They pulled their cameramen and were about to start a live broadcast.


    However, Mo Xi¡¯s appearance made them a little timid the next second, and they temporarily put down the microphone and camera in their hands.


    They recognized Mo Xi. He was one of Mo Qian¡¯s closest secretaries. They didn¡¯t need to give a face to the security guards, but they still had to give a face to Mo Xi.


    ¡°Hello, Assistant Mo! We¡¯re from H City¡¯s economic express. Is what An Chuan said true? Do you have any explanation for the crimes he accused Boss Mo of? Or rather, will the Mo Group hold a special press conference to answer the doubts of the general public?¡±


    Mo Xi looked at the reporter who asked the question with a gloomy look and asked, ¡°Is it to answer the doubts of the general public, or to give a face to the media disrupting the situation? I don¡¯t want to answer your meaningless questions if you insist on stopping me from banishing these people trying to disrupt my company¡¯s order! Then I can only say I¡¯ll see you at the police station! Or perhaps, you want to see the strength of our Mo¡¯s law studio?¡±


    Mo Xi directly made his attitude clear and looked coldly at the media reporters around him.


    He raised his hand slightly, and the many black-shirted bodyguards standing behind him immediately walked up and raised their hands to separate the annoying media!


    The security guards put away the banner and megaphone in An Chuan¡¯s hands, locked his hands, and escorted him to Mo Xi. ¡°Assistant Mo Xi, what should we do with this person?¡±


    Mo Xi furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes full of disdain and contempt as he looked at An Chuan.

 Chapter 359 - 359 Chapter 359. Fountain

    359 Chapter 359. Fountain


    Mo Xi did not answer the security guard¡¯s question. Instead, he looked at An Chuan and whispered, ¡°Who gave you the guts to come here and cause trouble? Do you want to die?¡±


    When old lady An saw that her son¡¯s life was in danger, she hurriedly got up. The security guards couldn¡¯t get close to her just now because she was throwing a tantrum and rolling around, but they had completely ignored her!


    The old lady was full of anger. She didn¡¯t care about the current situation or who was restraining her son. She shouted, ¡°You dare to threaten my son like this? I¡¯m going to fight you to the death today. Anyway, our An family has lost everything because of you. Even if I die today, I will drag you down!¡±


    As she spoke, she bent over and lowered her head, rushing straight toward Mo Xi. A bodyguard immediately wanted to step forward and separate her, but Mo Xi shouted at him to retreat with a gesture!


    Mo Xi looked at the old woman charging him without a care, and a cold sneer flashed in his eyes. Just a second before the old woman¡¯s head was about to hit him, he immediately reached out to hold her head and threw her out with a skillful movement.


    The old woman was so arrogant because she was old, and others didn¡¯t dare to bump into her easily. In the past two days, she had made a scene from the hospital corridor to the front of someone¡¯s company.


    Those people were afraid of trouble and afraid of her, but Mo Xi wasn¡¯t!


    Mo Xi sneered when he saw the old lady fall to the side. He looked at the surprised An Chuan and said sarcastically, ¡°If you want to behave atrociously, don¡¯t you know where you are? Do you think this is your home? I¡¯m telling you, An Chuan, even if I throw you into the fountain in the Plaza right now, you can¡¯t do anything to me!¡±


    ¡°Mo Xi! You f*cking dare to hit my mother! I¡¯m going to kill you today!¡± An Chuan looked at his old mother, crying in pain on the ground, and his anger immediately surged.


    If his actions just now were still a little guilty and afraid, he had already found a gimmick and wanted to come up and fight with Mo Xi!


    But even though he thought this way, Mo Xi refused to give him a chance!


    Mo Xi raised his hand and pointed at the huge pool in front of the Mo Group without much care. He said indifferently, ¡°President An must have been drunk last night. That¡¯s why he¡¯s here talking nonsense! Dump him over and let him wake up!¡±


    The bodyguards nodded in acknowledgment and immediately took An Chuan¡¯s hands. Two of them locked onto his legs, while an incredibly muscular bodyguard locked onto his shoulders. The four carried An Chuan like they were tying up a pig and walked towards the fountain.


    When old lady An saw her son being treated like this, she stopped lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. She hurriedly got up and wanted to pull the bodyguards away. Her hysterical appearance made her look like a crazy demon.


    A bodyguard went up to pull her back. Mo Xi frowned at the disgusting old woman and ordered, ¡°Since the old lady also wants to go, let her also wake up! Everyone here is a guest, so we can¡¯t refuse their wishes!¡±


    Someone on the side heard Mo Xi¡¯s words and looked at the old lady a few times. He couldn¡¯t bear to say, ¡°You can¡¯t stand the trouble she¡¯s causing. It¡¯s fine to teach this man a lesson, but this old lady is already so old. Aren¡¯t you afraid of killing her?¡±


    Before Mo Xi could speak, a competent and intelligent woman beside him snorted coldly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did it hurt your moral heart to take care of this old bastard? I saw that the old lady¡¯s spirit when she went crazy and scolded people just now was much better than you, young man. Among the few of them who had caused trouble, she was the one who scolded the most happily and the most unpleasantly. Why didn¡¯t you show her some respect just now? Why don¡¯t you tell her your real name and let her scold you?¡±


    The woman couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes to show her speechlessness. ¡°I¡¯ve seen through people like you long ago. It¡¯s easy for you to say what you want. Do you like to show your high moral values? You¡¯re so pretentious and so good at talking! Why don¡¯t you stand in the center of the universe and call for love?¡±


    The man¡¯s face turned red with anger after being scolded by the woman.

 Chapter 360 - 360 Chapter 360. Different From The Rest

    360 Chapter 360. Different From The Rest


    ¡°What do you mean by that? Are you looking for trouble? I¡¯m just saying this out of respect for the old and love for the young. What right do you have to criticize me?


    Who is hypocritical? It¡¯s shameful for H City to have such inhumane citizens like you! Where are you from? I¡¯m going to file a complaint against you in your department!¡±


    The man saw the reporter¡¯s card on the woman¡¯s chest and shouted.


    When Ya Qing heard this, she sneered and said sarcastically, ¡°I said you¡¯re fat, and you¡¯re panting! Did you not bring your brain with you today? Did you bring your eyes?¡±


    As she spoke, she showed the badge on her neck to the man and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m from Xian Du; my name is Ya Qing! If you want to complain or be vexed, hurry up!¡±


    The man¡¯s heart sank when he heard the word ¡®Xian Du.¡¯ It was okay with the other media, but this delicate economics newspaper not only had a bad temper and strong abilities, but the people under them were also from the same mold and were not to be trifled with. Not only do they have a fiery temper, but they can also make you lose your sense of direction with a single word! It was refreshing news in the news industry!


    The man swallowed his saliva and hurriedly left after saying, ¡°Just wait!¡±


    Ya Qing laughed as she looked at his back as he ran away. When she turned around, she realized that everyone¡¯s eyes were on her, especially Assistant Mo, who had a strange look in his eyes.


    She glanced indifferently at the fountain in the distance, at the scene of loud crying and shouting, and mumbled in a bored tone, ¡°I thought there would be some big news at the Mo Corporation¡¯s entrance. It is so boring. I made a wasted trip.¡±


    After Ya Qing finished speaking, she glanced at Mo Xi indifferently and left without saying anything. There was a photographer following behind her. It seemed that she was here to run the news.


    Mo Xi looked at the woman suspiciously and only looked away after a long time. He felt that the reporter named Ya Qing had a great attitude.


    Her attitude was the opposite of the other media as if she was on the Mo Corporation¡¯s side. However, thinking they were from Xian Du, Mo Xi felt she could understand. After all, the Xian Du economics newspaper was so different!


    Naturally, Mo Xi¡¯s ¡®different¡¯ was full of positive meaning. In the past few economic public opinion battles that Xian du had participated in, she had always stood on the right side and had an excellent attitude and style.


    Xian Du was not bad and was a newspaper with a unique personality. However, there was one thing about them that Mo Xi couldn¡¯t understand: Xian Du¡¯s decision to invest in the Ye Group.


    Mo Xi shook his head and collected his scattered thoughts. He looked at the media still surrounding him, chuckled, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you all want me to invite you in for tea? Or do you want to taste the water in our fountain?¡±


    Most of these media reporters were experienced, and their principles of interviewing and handling things were very flexible. They could be summarized as vital when they encountered weak people and weak when they discovered strong people!


    This could be seen from their attitude towards Mo Xi from the beginning and their perspective towards the An Corporation¡¯s bankruptcy a few days ago. They were just paper tigers who bullied the weak!


    If Mo Xi were not afraid of them reporting that she had bullied the An family¡¯s mother and son, the Mo family naturally would not be scared.


    The powerful Mo clan did not put these things in their eyes. They weren¡¯t afraid of the attacks of these small media outlets. Even if there were some bad public opinions, they wouldn¡¯t be affected.


    The Mo clan¡¯s immense power was something these people could only look up to from the dust!


    He didn¡¯t know what An Chuan, who had nothing now, was using to lure the media, who would only take the initiative to attack after smelling the ¡®meat¡¯. Mo Xi was curious and felt that today¡¯s matter wasn¡¯t as simple as it seemed.


    An Chuan didn¡¯t seem like such an intelligent person. He couldn¡¯t have quickly discovered that the Mo Corporation was involved in this matter. He also didn¡¯t have such a strong background or power. There must be some external help behind this.

 Chapter 361 - 361 Chapter 361. The Question

    361 Chapter 361. The Question


    Mo Xi was thinking about these things, but his eyes were fixed on the media reporters in front of the Mo Corporation¡¯s gate, who were leaving in a very embarrassed manner.


    At this time, the head bodyguard who had just thrown the man had returned.


    He looked at Mo Xi and asked respectfully, ¡°Assistant Mo, An Chuan can¡¯t drink anymore. That old lady¡¯s face is also pale with fear. What should we do next?¡±


    ¡°Take him to the basement. I¡¯ll report to the young master. I think he has something to ask him later.¡± After Mo Xi finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the Mo Corporation¡¯s office.


    The bodyguard looked at Mo Xi¡¯s back and responded in a deep voice. He waved to his brothers in the distance and motioned for them to bring the man over.


    The pedestrians who had been watching them finally left resentfully under the ¡®persuasion¡¯ of the other bodyguards.


    Ten minutes later, bodyguards were standing guard outside the door in a room on the basement floor of the Mo Corporation¡¯s office building. The soundproof room was not very soundproof; from time to time, An Chuan and an old woman¡¯s shouts could be heard.


    ¡°You¡¯re being so unreasonable by imprisoning us here. This is an illegal detention, you know? This is illegal, do you understand? Quickly let go of my son and me! Mo Qian, you damn bastard! How dare you throw my son into the water! I won¡¯t let you off even if I become a ghost!¡±


    Mo Qian calmly listened to old Madam An¡¯s words, his heart unruffled. He even looked at the old Madam¡¯s clean clothes and said to Mo Xi, ¡°You should have thrown her in just now to let her sober up. Otherwise, she¡¯s still so unconvinced even after all this.¡±


    Compared to the drenched An Chuan, still panting heavily on the ground, Mo Qian¡¯s subordinates were already very kind to this hateful old lady.


    They had only pushed her face into the water to let her drink a few mouthfuls of dirty water. She was not wet at all.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t wait for Mo Xi¡¯s reply. He tilted his head and looked indifferently at the person on the ground, saying, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you let me go. It doesn¡¯t affect me. Don¡¯t worry; I won¡¯t kill you. I need you to answer a few questions honestly, and I¡¯ll let you go.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s words made old Madam An¡¯s anger subside a little.


    She sat on the ground without any care for her image. She reached out and brushed the wet hair on her forehead. ¡°You¡¯re serious? If we answer your question, you¡¯ll let us go?¡±


    Mo Qian nodded. The smile on his face was very faint, but he was good-looking, and his eyes were beautiful. One look and you could tell that he was not a liar.


    Seeing this, old Madam An nudged the paralyzed An Chuan and whispered something into his ear. After a while, An Chuan seemed to have finally recovered. He used old Madam An¡¯s strength to sit up from the ground in a sorry state slowly.


    An Chuan¡¯s hair was still wet. He looked up at Mo Qian, who was in a wheelchair and started to regret his decision.


    He deeply regretted listening to Ye Zheng¡¯s ridicule and bringing a few people with him to lure a few media outlets to cause trouble at the Mo Corporation.


    He was so angry that he lost his mind and did things without a sense of decency. His last trace of rationality was burned away by Ye Zheng¡¯s fire!


    An Chuan swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°As long as you let my mom go and don¡¯t make things difficult for her in the future, you can ask me anything you want! Go ahead!¡±


    Mo Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at An Chuan, who was still trying to save face. He laughed sarcastically. ¡°President An, you¡¯re so respectful. You only realized that you want to be obedient to the old lady now? ¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at old lady An and said sarcastically, ¡°That¡¯s right, only your mother would be willing to accompany you to do this kind of thing, right? I was wondering why Mrs. An didn¡¯t come!¡±


    An Chuan¡¯s chest ached from Mo Qian¡¯s words. He naturally understood the sarcasm in Mo Qian¡¯s words, so he lowered his head in shame.


    When he came over, he didn¡¯t have time to think much. He just wanted to use his mother¡¯s cunning to find trouble with the Mo Corporation.

 Chapter 362 - 362 Chapter 362. How Did You know?

    362 Chapter 362. How Did You know?


    This time, even if he couldn¡¯t touch the Mo family¡¯s muscles and bones, he would still make Mo Qian¡¯s whole body ¡®smelly¡¯ to relieve the hatred in his heart.


    An Chuan mumbled as if he wanted to say something to defend himself, but he was interrupted by Mo Xi.


    Young master, you still call him President An? Is he even worthy?¡± Mo Xi stood beside Mo Qian and continued, ¡°I think it¡¯s more appropriate to call him an animal!¡±


    ¡°Which family¡¯s children who care about their parents would bring their aged mother to someone else¡¯s company to cause trouble like him? She was throwing a tantrum, rolling around, pointing at the sky, and cursing the earth, just like an uncultured shrew. Even if you don¡¯t think it¡¯s embarrassing, others might think it¡¯s too embarrassing! This is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone so shameless and stupid! You¡¯re still in front of us; why are you pretending to be a loving mother and a filial son? Aren¡¯t you afraid of making others laugh their heads off?¡±


    Mo Xi said sarcastically and looked at the old woman who was still unconvinced and wanted to say something.


    He snorted and continued, ¡°That¡¯s true; this kind of person raises this kind of child! Otherwise, you two trash can¡¯t be mother and son!¡±


    ¡°You!¡± The old lady was furious. She raised her hand and pointed at Mo Xi, wanting to scold him, but she was immediately pressed back by the bodyguards around her.


    Mo Qian raised his hand slightly, indicating for Mo Xi to stop talking. He looked indifferently at An Chuan and asked, ¡°Since you dare to cause trouble at the Mo Corporation¡¯s entrance, it means that you should know something. I¡¯m not afraid to tell you that the An family has such a miserable ending today because you have offended someone you shouldn¡¯t have offended! Ye Zheng isn¡¯t wrong, but his goal isn¡¯t that simple. President An is still preparing someone else¡¯s dowry before he dies!¡±


    When he heard that familiar name from Mo Qian¡¯s mouth, An Chuan was stunned. His body trembled as he looked at Mo Qian in a sorry state and asked in disbelief, ¡°How did you know it was him? I didn¡¯t even say anything!¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled and turned the ring on his left finger with his right hand. ¡°You didn¡¯t say anything, but it doesn¡¯t seem difficult to guess, right? Your An Corporation¡¯s scale isn¡¯t big, and you can only do projects that other companies don¡¯t even bother to do! Speaking of which, I have to praise you for giving birth to a daughter who¡¯s quite scheming! Since you¡¯ve coaxed Zhuang Jie so well in the past, you must¡¯ve gotten a lot of benefits from Zhuang Jing or the Zhang family, right?¡±


    An Chuan lowered his head in silence. He didn¡¯t dare to confront Mo Qian anymore.


    This was because what Mo Qian said was right. The An family relied on Zhuang Jing, or the surname above Zhuang Jing¡¯s head, to obtain many benefits.


    For example, there were some outstanding projects and opportunities to get to know the local business leaders of City H. Otherwise, how could a mid-sized family like the An Corporation stand out?


    An Chuan said that he had built the An Corporation with his blood, sweat, and tears, but that wasn¡¯t entirely true. In the past few years, An Ye has contributed much more to the company than he did.


    An Ye was a brilliant, flexible, and sharp person. Otherwise, she would not have controlled Zhuang Jie so well and willingly ¡®sent warmth and blessings¡¯ to the An clan.


    Mo Qian and An Chuan already knew what was going on. Only Mo Xi, standing at the side, could not come to his senses. He asked in a muffled voice, ¡°But isn¡¯t this between the An family and Zhuang Jing? And how could it be related to Ye Zheng of the Ye Group? Why would Ye Zheng think of urging an idiot like An Chuan to come to the company and cause trouble? Did the An family and Ye family have any interactions in the past?¡±


    Upon hearing Mo Xi¡¯s question, Mo Qian looked at An Chuan and laughed. ¡°I¡¯m naturally going to ask Ye Zheng this question myself! He knew I was the one who attacked the An family, but he still chose to help the An family. Isn¡¯t he going against me? Although I, Mo Qian, was born friendly, I still don¡¯t like to be disobeyed!¡±

 Chapter 363 - 363 Chapter 363. Thrown Into The River to Feed The Fish

    363 Chapter 363. Thrown Into The River to Feed The Fish


    An Chuan was so frightened by Mo Qian¡¯s frightening gaze and unkind words that he didn¡¯t even dare to breathe. He didn¡¯t even dare to move.


    Old Madam An seemed to have sensed something and looked up at Mo Qian. Her heart started to grow nervous because she had never seen her son so afraid of anyone!


    Although Mo Qian appeared gentle and polite on the surface, his actions and words revealed a certain kind of prestige without being angry. He was born with the overbearing temperament of a superior.


    An inexplicable sense of panic suddenly rose in the old lady¡¯s heart. It was effortless for Mo Qian to destroy the An family. If he wanted to get rid of the two of them, it seemed very easy too!


    An Chuan gulped and cried to Mo Qian, ¡°I¡¯m sorry President mo! I was wrong! I shouldn¡¯t have listened to Ye Zheng¡¯s instigations! He was the one who said that he could use the power of the media and public opinion to tarnish the Mo Corporation¡¯s reputation, and he could also cause you some trouble! He tricked me!


    I¡¯m a little angry; I don¡¯t want to be enemies with the Mo family! I know I was wrong! Please let our An family live! Please stop targeting the An family! I¡¯ll kowtow to you here! I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Mo Qian looked coldly at An Chuan, who was at his feet, crying and begging for his forgiveness. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°You said you know your mistake? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?¡±


    An Chuan paused when he heard this. He looked at Mo Qian in confusion and panic.


    He tried to organize his words in his mind, but he realized he didn¡¯t know how he had offended Mo Qian.


    He stuttered with a hideous face, ¡°I didn¡¯t know! Anyway, I was wrong! President Mo, please forgive me for just this once! I don¡¯t dare to do it again!¡±


    Mo Qian clicked his tongue slightly. He touched the ring on his finger and said to his subordinates, ¡°Throw this person, who is muddle-headed before death, into the Cang River to feed the fish.¡±


    When he said this, he was as calm as he was talking about today¡¯s temperature. It didn¡¯t seem like he could instantly decide a person¡¯s life and death.


    An Chuan was so frightened by Mo Qian¡¯s ruthlessness and cold appearance that he peed in his pants. Smelling the strange smell in the air, Mo Xi subconsciously took his young master away from this person.


    He raised his hand to signal his subordinates to put the two in sacks and throw them out!


    Then, he pushed the wheelchair and left with Mo Qian.


    When they reached the elevator, Mo Xi frowned. After thinking for a long time, he asked Mo Qian, ¡°Young master! Are we going to kill the mother and son of the An family?¡±


    In fact, in Mo Xi¡¯s heart, the things they had done today did not warrant death.


    He couldn¡¯t understand why his young master wanted them dead. He felt that his young master¡¯s actions today were strange and overboard. He didn¡¯t want to see his young master so bloodthirsty. After all, they were two lives.


    Hence, taking the risk of angering Mo Qian, Mo Xi spoke.


    Mo Qian clenched the ring in his hand, a dark light flashing in the depths of his eyes. After a long time, he sighed and replied, ¡°I¡¯m just scaring them. Who would inexplicably take two more lives in their hands? The one who should die isn¡¯t them, but the one who is lying in the hospital!¡±


    For some reason, when he heard Mo Qian speak like this, Mo Xi couldn¡¯t help but shiver. He looked at his young master¡¯s cold side profile and didn¡¯t dare to say. He took out his phone and sent a message to the bodyguards who had just brought the two out.


    If he didn¡¯t inform them, they would follow his orders and throw An Chuan and the old woman into the Chang River to drink water when it is dark.


    After sending the message, Mo Xi pushed Mo Qian into the elevator. Thinking about the doubts he had just now, he asked again, ¡°An Chuan didn¡¯t even say anything just now. How did you know that Ye was helping him behind his back? Did I miss something? Why can¡¯t I see it?¡±


    Mo Qian looked at his reflection in the elevator¡¯s smooth mirror and said, ¡°Because you¡¯re stupid.¡±


    Mo Xi, ¡°Wow!¡±

 Chapter 364 - 364 Chapter 364. The Intelligent Mo Qian

    364 Chapter 364. The Intelligent Mo Qian


    Alright! This was indeed the truth. In front of the young master, wasn¡¯t he just an idiot? Mo Xi thought bitterly.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t realize that Mo Xi was making fun of himself. He explained, ¡°I¡¯m just trying to trick him. How can you believe that? Are you stupid? Didn¡¯t you notice anything strange among the reporters who rushed over with An Chuan?¡±


    When Mo Xi heard this, he also began to recall. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered the strange woman.


    He opened his mouth and asked tentatively, ¡°Is it, Xian Du? The woman who came for the interview was extraordinary. She was scolding people for me. She was eloquent and had amazing firepower!¡±


    Mo Qian smiled and nodded, ¡°It seems you¡¯re not too stupid! Didn¡¯t Xian Du announce that it would cooperate with the Ye Group and officially become a shareholder of the Ye Group? With Xian Du¡¯s unique style and fiery temper, who else in City H could order them around except for the news they were interested in? Although Ye Zheng¡¯s move was vicious, he still underestimated Xian Du¡¯s persistence in their newspaper office¡¯s faith!¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he laughed happily. ¡°I¡¯m inquisitive now. What kind of leader can lead such a group of different and ¡®fresh and refined¡¯ news people? ¡±


    After Mo Xi listened to Mo Qian¡¯s explanation, she felt that her muddled brain had suddenly cleared up, and everything could be understood.


    He had already noticed that the woman from the Xian Du newspaper was acting very strange at the entrance.


    However, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it at the time, which led to him neglecting this point. He didn¡¯t connect Xian Du to the Ye Group, nor did he think of Ye Zheng¡¯s relationship with An Chuan!


    In that case, it all made sense.


    Xian Du had participated in this deal between An Chuan and the media because they wanted to dig up the conflict between An Chuan and the Mo Corporation. Because Ye Zheng, this old fox who only knew how to play dirty tricks behind everyone¡¯s backs, wanted to kill two birds with one stone and scheme against everyone. It was just a despicable order!


    Xian Du was currently working with the Ye group. In some matters, it was inevitable that it would be subject to Ye Zheng. This was normal and understandable.


    Having thought this through, Mo Xi looked at Mo Qian with admiration, her eyes shining as she said, ¡°Young master, you¡¯re so smart! You can already deduce so many things just from the sudden appearance of the Xian Du reporter! You even used a little trick to make this idiot An Chuan go around in circles! I probably can¡¯t catch up to your intelligence even in eight lifetimes! I¡¯m impressed!¡±


    Mo Qian did not mind Mo Xi¡¯s flattery. As he watched the elevator door open before him, he thought of another question. ¡°The day after tomorrow is the day to go to Blue Eagle Base to find Zhuang Xian. Have you prepared all the things I asked you to find?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Xi nodded. As he pushed Mo Qian¡¯s wheelchair, he did not forget to answer, ¡°Young master, I dare not disobey your orders! I¡¯ve already prepared all kinds of rare herbs and tonics, so don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Although he had once neglected Zhuang Xian¡¯s matter during Lei Cheng¡¯s call in the afternoon, he would not dare to fail this matter that concerned his young master!


    Mo Qian, unusually ¡®protective of his children, had subordinates who were also very protective of their masters. Mo Xi was a perfect example.


    Although he could not accept the relationship between his young master and the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter, he was 100% concerned about his young master¡¯s health!


    This was also one of the reasons why Mo Qian could not bear to punish Mo Xi severely.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. It¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s go and find trouble with the Ye family tomorrow.¡± Mo Qian said indifferently, his hand still gently turning the ring.


    His young master¡¯s carefree appearance made Mo Xi¡¯s heart very excited.


    If someone else said that they would find trouble with the Ye family, Mo Xi would probably be very disdainful.


    Although the Ye Group could not be compared to the Mo family, they were not some tiny family in the entire City H!

 Chapter 365 - 365 Chapter 365. A Ruthless Person Doesnt Say Much

    365 Chapter 365. A Ruthless Person Doesn¡¯t Say Much


    Ye Zheng, the current head of the Ye Group, was naturally not a character that others could bully. However, this also depended on who he was in front of and who he was going against!


    Since Mo Qian had already spoken, what good would come of Ye Zheng?


    It was impossible!


    On the other side, Mo Qian gave his bodyguards an order so lightly that he almost scared the mother and son of the An family to death!


    After receiving Mo Xi¡¯s message, the bodyguard leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He called his men to turn the car around and said they were not going to the Cang river bridge now.


    As the car drove on the road, the bodyguards heard the commotion in the trunk and became slightly irritated.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the young master had changed his mind at the last minute and didn¡¯t intend to kill these two people, they would have shown them their true colors!


    The sobbing and cries for help were endless. Finally, one of the bodyguards couldn¡¯t help but say irritatedly, ¡°Stop arguing! Young master has already said that he¡¯ll let you off and won¡¯t sink you into the river tonight, so be quiet! Don¡¯t annoy people anymore!¡±


    After hearing the bodyguard¡¯s words, An Chuan was overjoyed. His head, stuck to the black cloth bag, sobbed a few times. Then, as if he had remembered Something, he quickly kept quiet, not daring to make any more noise that would alarm this group of fierce people.


    Old Madam An, who also felt like she had just survived a disaster, cried until the black bag covering her head was wet.


    This was the first time in her reckless and shrewish life that she had met someone like Mo Qian, who was ruthless and didn¡¯t talk much.


    Not only was he rich and powerful, but he was also so fierce that he wanted to kill people at will! She was a hoodlum who was used to using her power to bully others!


    Who could not be convinced? He didn¡¯t even need to do it himself. If he moved his lips, there would naturally be people who would kill them for him!


    Old Madam An finally understood. She and An Chuan wanted to shake Mo Qian with their strength. How naive and stupid was their thinking!


    How could people like them afford to provoke someone like Mo Qian, who held a high position and was noble and graceful?


    She even blamed An Chuan for being so stupid that he didn¡¯t even realize he had been tricked and used.


    Speaking of Ye Zheng from the Ye family, he wasn¡¯t a good person either! He had guessed that An Chuan was desperate for revenge, so he told An Chuan that Mo Qian had attacked him. He had even insincerely said that they would send people from Xian Du to help him blow up this matter and make Mo Qian suffer!


    However, what Ye Zheng didn¡¯t expect was that the reporters wouldn¡¯t help them sincerely. Not only were the two reporters late, but they didn¡¯t do anything after arriving. They were doing their job perfunctorily.


    An Chuan had been tricked. It would be fine if he succeeded, but it wouldn¡¯t affect Ye Zheng in any way, even if he didn¡¯t. Ye Zheng¡¯s true motive was unknown, but he must have incited An Chuan to come and cause trouble for Mo Qian. He had bad intentions.


    Naturally, An Chuan understood these principles. However, what he didn¡¯t understand the most was why Ye Zheng was using him to deal with Mo Qian. What was the point of the Ye and Mo clans¡¯ fallout?


    An Chuan naturally couldn¡¯t understand the secrets in Ye Zheng¡¯s heart. Ye Zheng had never really hoped that An Chuan would cause Mo Qian much trouble.


    Therefore, Ye Zheng didn¡¯t have any unusual reaction when his secretary reported the incident at the Mo Corporation. He didn¡¯t even put down the folder in his hand and said to his secretary without even looking up, ¡°Okay, I know. You may leave.¡±


    The secretary looked at Ye Zheng in confusion. After some thought, she said, ¡°The people below said that after the An mother and son were brought into the Mo Corporation by Mo Qian¡¯s bodyguards, they never came out again. We suspect that the two of them were killed by Mo Qian. I thought it would be better to report to you about this matter that involves human lives. Do you think we should call the police, Boss Ye?¡±


    The secretary asked carefully. Seeing Ye Zheng¡¯s unmoving expression, she couldn¡¯t make up his mind. Was this a good reaction or a bad one?


    Ye Zheng put down the folder in his hand and looked up at the secretary. He said sarcastically, ¡°Something related to human life? Whose life?¡±

 Chapter 366 - 366 Chapter 366. The Past

    366 Chapter 366. The Past


    ¡°Hmph! This is a matter between An Chuan and Mo Qian. What does it have to do with our Ye family? Just tell the people below to act as if they don¡¯t know!¡±


    After Ye Zheng finished speaking, he indifferently retracted his gaze. He raised his hand and waved it gently, indicating that the secretary could leave.


    The secretary bowed and turned to leave with a slight frown. However, before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by Ye Zheng!


    ¡°Wait a moment!¡± Ye Zheng said.


    Seeing his secretary turn around to look at him, Ye Zheng ordered in a deep voice, ¡°Find someone to follow this line first! If Mo Qian wants to get rid of the mother and son of the An family, get the people following them to leave behind some evidence. I¡¯ll have use for it in the future!¡±


    The secretary nodded silently, bowed, and left the office, leaving Ye Zheng alone in his chair. He slowly turned his chair around.


    He seemed to be in a perfect mood!


    Ye Zheng sat leisurely for a while before his phone rang. He casually picked up the phone on the table and saw that the caller was Shen Min. He sighed slightly and slid his finger across the screen to answer the call. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Shen Min¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone, ¡°What time are you coming home for dinner tonight? I¡¯ve told you I want to go to Ye Xin¡¯s school tomorrow. Ever since she started her military training, she hasn¡¯t called home. I¡¯m apprehensive about her. I¡¯ll ask her teacher, but you¡¯ll have to come!¡±


    After Ye Zheng heard Shen Min¡¯s request, he felt helpless. He turned his chair around and explained, ¡°Didn¡¯t the school already say it? The children¡¯s military training would last for 20 days, during which they could not receive any outside information. Even if you went to Saint Capital University, you could not see anyone! What¡¯s the point of looking for their teacher? The teacher can¡¯t care about this!¡±


    He added, ¡°Besides, when did Ye Xin become the kind of person you need to worry about? She¡¯s about to go to college. You have to believe that she can handle those things, okay? I¡¯m a little busy today and have an emergency meeting later. You can eat first, don¡¯t wait for me!¡±


    After listening to Ye Zheng¡¯s analysis and explanation, the thoughts in Shen Min¡¯s heart dissipated a little. She agreed to Ye Zheng¡¯s words softly and hung up the phone.


    Ye Zheng looked at his phone and sighed slowly. He felt very helpless about his wife, who was very beautiful but not very smart.


    Ye Zheng had also rejoiced countless times that his and Shen Min¡¯s second daughter, Ye Xin, was a healthy child with full intelligence, unlike the previous one, who was in a daze.


    When Ye Zheng dreamed at night and occasionally thought about the past, he did feel regret.


    After all, that little girl was his first child. In certain aspects and emotions, this was very different!


    Even though Ye Xin¡¯s explanation helped alleviate his regret and remorse, he still felt extremely frustrated when he suddenly recalled the incident.


    He furrowed his brows, not wanting to recall those things.


    However, the more he tried to clear these memories and feelings, the more memories came flooding in.


    He massaged his temples and thought he must have been too tired recently, which was why he liked to reminisce. It seemed very sudden and inexplicable. Suddenly, the image of the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter, Zhuang Xian, flashed through Ye Zheng¡¯s mind!


    He recalled Zhuang Xian¡¯s appearance and a strange feeling emerged in his heart, but he couldn¡¯t put his finger on it.


    It was strange. He had fought with Ming En Corporation a few times and knew everyone from the Zhuang family, but he had never seen this mysterious adopted daughter before!


    His only impression was a few photos and videos, and most of it was information that the outside world knew.


    Ye Zheng did not know that Zhuang Xian had already met him and exchanged blows with him. They even discussed a huge collaboration in passing. It was a collaboration project that would make Ye Zheng regret his decision and be filled with anger and frustration.

 Chapter 367 - 367 Chapter 367. Cook

    367 Chapter 367. Cook


    Of course, this was all in the future. Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t predict the end yet. He could only observe and guard against Xian Du while using it in other ways.


    For example, Ye Zheng thought he killed two birds with one stone with the An Chuan incident.


    Not only could he give Mo Qian some trouble, but he could also indirectly let the entire City H know that he, Ye Zheng, could mobilize Yan An¡¯s subordinates for Ye Group¡¯s use!


    The Ye Group was no longer the Ye Group of the past. After Xian Du joined them, their resources became much richer!


    Although Ye Zheng felt that working with Xian Du was no different from asking a tiger for its skin, he thought himself innovative. He believed in one thing: ¡®opportunity and danger always come together!¡¯


    What he needed to do was to overcome the danger and seize the opportunity!¡±


    Ye Zheng felt that he could do that. Hence, he had a new plan for the past two days. He wanted to invite Ya Qing to attend the auction in City H that would be held in three days.


    This way, he would try his best to find out more information about the size, and secondly, he wanted to bribe Ya Qing, Yan An¡¯s right-hand man!


    The next day, at Blue Eagle Base.


    When the sky in the mountains had just brightened, Zhuang Xian was already awake. She put on her clothes and walked out of the tent. When she saw Luo Fei, who was on night duty not far away, she walked up to him.


    ¡°Squad monitor, if you don¡¯t sleep at night, how will you train us during the day?¡± Zhuang Xian stood beside Luo Fei and asked softly.


    Luo Fei turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian. He smiled and replied, ¡°Who said I didn¡¯t sleep? After sleeping for a few hours in the first half of the night. Fortunately, I got up to take the night watch.¡±


    Although the forest where they gathered for military training was very flat, the temperature soared. He feared that some blind wild beasts and poisonous animals would break in and hurt people.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Luo Fei and smiled gently. She quite liked this squad monitor. At least, for the past few days of military training, she could see that this squad monitor was very responsible and meticulous.


    Although Luo Fei usually did not smile, his reliable and steady demeanor was evident in Team A.


    Luo Fei was sitting on a huge rock, playing with a sharp dagger. He lowered his head and thought about something. A glint flashed across his eyes. Finally, he said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°The close combat technique you used in the battle with Team B¡¯s Squad monitor yesterday didn¡¯t seem like something that would be taught in the Army!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian.


    The nerves in Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind tensed up slightly, and a trace of wariness and vigilance flashed in the depths of her eyes.


    Luo Fei wasn¡¯t like those students who didn¡¯t know anything. It wasn¡¯t strange for him to be able to tell that her fighting techniques were different. She guessed that Luo Fei must have thought something.


    ¡°That very cool and deadly whip kick of yours, can you teach me? I¡¯ll give you whatever you want if you can teach me!¡± Luo Fei got up and squatted on a rock. He looked at Zhuang Xian and said seriously.


    Zhuang Xian, who had prepared a lot of words in her mind, wanted to cover up her identity in front of the squad monitor. Alright.


    Looking at Luo Fei¡¯s clear and eager eyes, Zhuang Xian¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. She had been thinking about how to explain it for a long time, but in the end, their little squad monitor only wanted to learn from her.


    This was beyond Zhuang Xian¡¯s expectations. She looked at Luo Fei and smiled. ¡°Squad monitor, is this what you wanted to ask?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, what else?¡± Luo Fei nodded.


    Zhuang Xian, who was choked by this rhetorical question, nodded helplessly. ¡°Of course, you can! Squad monitor, I¡¯ll teach you since you want to learn!¡±


    When Luo Fei saw that Zhuang Xian had agreed, he immediately broke into a happy smile. ¡°That¡¯s good! How much do you want? Or do you want something in return?¡±


    Luo Fei¡¯s serious expression when he asked for the price made Zhuang Xian laugh.


    She looked up at Luo Fei, who was on the rock with a white bandage on her face. She was amused. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. I don¡¯t need your reward, Squad monitor. However, it¡¯ll be great to have two more chicken legs for lunch in the future!¡±


    The bright and exquisite girl was slyly bickering with Luo Fei about the extra meal they would have for lunch.

 Chapter 368 - 368 Chapter 368. Dont Get Stuck in The Gender

    368 Chapter 368. Don¡¯t Get Stuck in The Gender


    Luo Fei looked at Zhuang Xian and laughed. He made an OK gesture to Zhuang Xian and promised, ¡°Alright! It¡¯s a small matter!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded, turned around, and headed to the camp to prepare breakfast.


    Yes, after Lei Cheng had integrated the opinions of many parties, he decided that he should still be kind to this group of new soldiers. At least he could not let them starve to death!


    Therefore, with a wave of Lei Cheng¡¯s hand, he assigned a few cooks to make military meals for the students in each camp, directly solving the problem of the students not having enough to eat every day.


    In fact, in such an environment, it was not easy to cook a meal for so many people at once.


    As cooks in the military, their daily workload was no less than the students, so they welcomed Zhuang Xian¡¯s help.


    ¡°Hey, Zhuang Xian! You said yesterday that you would come and help, and you came? That¡¯s interesting!¡± Ma Zhong was an amiable person, and he was also the boss of the cooks.


    He looked at the beautiful girl before him and couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Zhuang Xian quickly tied up her hair and looked at Ma Zhong with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right! I always keep my word. What are you guys cooking in the morning? Is there anything I can do?¡±


    Ma Zhong¡¯s Army position was slightly lower than Luo Fei¡¯s. In some ways, he was the Deputy squad leader of the entire camp.


    He was kind and a very down-to-earth big brother. After coming to Blue Eagle Mountain, it didn¡¯t take him long to get along with some of his teammates who were as friendly as him.


    The students had suffered enough in the past two days, so they were very grateful to Ma Zhong¡¯s group. That was why Ma Zhong was so well-liked by these students.


    For most of the students, the arrival of Ma Zhong was the only good news since the start of the military training!


    ¡°There is! Come over and mix this with the pickled vegetables!¡± When Ma Zhong heard this, he was pleased. After looking at the work around him, he directly assigned the most straightforward task to Zhuang Xian and laughed heartily at her. ¡°Let them do the heavy work that needs to touch the cold water in the mountains or chop wood and make fire! You can do the easier one!¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed and walked up without delay. She rolled up her sleeves and started to work.


    Her hands and feet were nimble, and she did her work in an organized and fast way.


    Most importantly, to have such a beautiful girl working with them was a beautiful thing for the cooks, not to mention that Zhuang Xian¡¯s cooking skills were so good!


    The sky started to brighten, and some students began to walk out of their tents. Their noses were very sharp, and they immediately smelled the aroma of food that had spread behind the tent. They all rushed over.


    When Ye Xin walked over from the front, the breakfast-making area was already surrounded by people. With a single glance, she saw Zhuang Xian standing in the middle of a few soldiers. A dark glint flashed across her eyes as she quietly squeezed herself into the crowd.


    ¡°Today¡¯s five-kernel porridge looks very delicious! Heavens! I can¡¯t help drooling just by smelling it!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days, but I haven¡¯t seen any hot food in my life! Can I eat a few more bowls later?¡±


    ¡°From the looks of it, there should be enough. By the way, why is the Vice squad monitor here? Does she know how to cook?¡±


    ¡°The Vice squad monitor came to help early in the morning. When I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw her helping Squad monitor Ma with something! I think Zhuang Xian is too perfect! Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great figure. She can fight and cook. As a girl, I feel like she has completely won me over! I wonder if sister can¡¯t be so rigid when looking for her other half. Just look at me!¡±


    Everyone took in the fragrance in the air and started to chat. Their gazes were involuntarily drawn to Zhuang Xian, working seriously by the stove.

 Chapter 369 - 369 Chapter 369. Bootlicker

    369 Chapter 369. Bootlicker


    The girls around Zhuang Xian kept talking about her. They were a little upset and felt they were born of the wrong gender. Otherwise, they would have gone to Zhuang Xian and expressed their love for her!


    Who wouldn¡¯t be moved by such a beautiful and outstanding girl?


    Even though they admired and liked Zhuang Xian, they only dared to talk about her behind her back. A beauty was naturally pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the heart, but her aura made many people feel intimidated and not dare to approach her.


    Zhuang Jie, standing on the girls¡¯ left, was a little angry when she heard this. She mumbled softly, ¡°Hmph! What good could Zhuang Xian be? She is just a flatterer! She just curried favor with the squad monitor, and now she¡¯s currying favor with these cooks. She¡¯s busy!¡±


    Her voice wasn¡¯t loud, but because she was standing too close, her words fell into the ears of the people around her.


    After what happened a few days ago, Team A¡¯s students were delighted with Zhuang Xian as the Vice squad monitor. When they heard Zhuang Jie¡¯s sharp words, they turned to look at her with dissatisfaction.


    ¡°You¡¯re so mean. Did the Vice squad monitor offend you again? I¡¯m inquisitive. The Vice squad monitor is such a good person. She even saved your life before! Why is it that in your eyes, she¡¯s nothing? You¡¯re quite the character to bite the hand that feeds you! You don¡¯t think it¡¯s a shame, but instead, you think it¡¯s an honor?¡±


    A girl a few steps away from Zhuang Jie crossed her arms and asked in confusion.


    The other girls around her also looked at Zhuang Jie with hostility.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! In the past few days, I¡¯ve finally realized that Zhuang Jie is a despicable person who can¡¯t bear to see anyone better than her! Her heart is smaller than a needle¡¯s eye, and she is arrogant and overbearing. She is so stupid that even the gods are angry with her! Wasn¡¯t she on good terms with that crazy An Ye? But look at what she did to her! Tsk, what¡¯s the big deal about returning kindness with ingratitude? She¡¯s ungrateful, heartless, and untrustworthy. That¡¯s her true face!¡±


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s face turned red with anger when she heard the girls attacking her like that.


    She immediately raised her hand, pointed fiercely at the girl who spoke, and shouted, ¡°Who are you scolding? Do you want to die? What I say or do have nothing to do with you! Do you know who I am? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll scare you to death if I tell you! A few daughters from small families dare to show off in front of our Zhuang family. Do you believe that when I return, I¡¯ll ask my grandma to destroy your family¡¯s business!¡±


    Among these girls, there was naturally some whose family background was not as good as Zhuang Jie¡¯s. After hearing the threat, they could not help but feel a little afraid. The Zhuang family was indeed very prosperous in the entire City of H.


    Li Qin leaned against a tree trunk and listened to Zhuang Jie¡¯s childish and ridiculous threat. Lin Feng looked at her and chuckled, ¡°Oh? You¡¯re amazing!¡±


    Hearing someone speak, someone in the crowd immediately turned to look.


    ¡°You¡¯re talking about your Zhuang family? That¡¯s a little strange. Your mother, Zhuang Jing, is indeed the youngest daughter of the old Zhuang family, but what does that have to do with your Zhang family?¡± Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Qin didn¡¯t show any fear. Instead, he asked doubtfully.


    Zhuang Jie turned around and looked at Li Qin, a violent storm brewing in her eyes.


    What she hated the most in her life was people using the fact that she had abandoned her father¡¯s surname and changed it to her mother¡¯s surname to tease her! She could not control this, but the one who was hurt and ridiculed the most was her, the most innocent person.


    She didn¡¯t want to know about Zhuang Jing¡¯s far-reaching plans. She only knew that she had been ridiculed and debased because of this matter!


    This matter had always been relatively obscure and complicated. Very few people would directly expose the Zhuang family and the Zhang family¡¯s cover-up.


    In front of Zhuang Jing, Zhang Ting had almost no status. This was also a tacit understanding between the prestigious families of H City.

 Chapter 370 - 370 Chapter 370. The Terrified Li Qin

    370 Chapter 370. The Terrified Li Qin


    Since she was young, Zhuang Jie had lived under the education of Zhuang Jing, who blatantly looked down on the Zhang family and her father¡¯s family. As she influenced her, she naturally looked down on Zhang Ting as her father.


    Therefore, Zhuang Jie not wanting anyone to mention that past was one of the reasons for her dislike of Zhang Ting¡¯s name!


    Naturally, Li Qin wasn¡¯t afraid of a mere Zhuang Jie. In reality, he didn¡¯t think much of Zhuang Jie at all. It was just that seeing this woman constantly picking on his sister Xian made him very unhappy.


    ¡°Oh, yes! Why did I only remember now? You¡¯ve already changed your surname to your mother¡¯s. However, this surname wouldn¡¯t change anything! Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re the Zhuang family, you¡¯re part of the Zhuang family. People shouldn¡¯t forget their roots. Your Zhang family is not bad! Why do you have to rush to become a member of the Zhuang family?¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, he looked indifferently at Zhuang Jie, whose eyes had turned red. He could not suppress the sneer on his lips.


    Zhuang Lin looked straight at Li Qin, her chest heaving heavily. ¡°Li Qin! You shut up! This is our family¡¯s business; what does it have to do with you? It¡¯s fine that you¡¯re standing up for that b*tch Zhuang Xian, but why? Do you still want to play the hero saving the beauty trick on another girl? Do you think that Zhuang Xian, who can¡¯t even protect herself, can protect you? Who the hell are you to dare to talk big in front of me!¡±


    She raised her hand and pointed at the girls beside her as she spoke. She said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re the ones who provoked me today! Just wait, when I return, I will ask my mom to give you some ¡®good fruits¡¯! ¡±


    When Li Qin heard that, he could not help but burst out laughing. Even Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, standing at the side silently, could not hold it in any longer.


    Li Qin glanced at Zhuang Xian, who was still standing by the stove, unaffected by the commotion. He stopped laughing and asked, ¡°May I ask how old you are this year? For example, this is a warning and a threat. Now, even primary school students don¡¯t bother using it, do you know? You¡¯re already so old but still complaining about your mother and grandmother. Are you the legendary giant baby who only knows how to rely on the elderly for everything?¡±


    Lin Feng looked at Li Qin¡¯s astonishing combat power and shook his head helplessly.


    Hearing Li Qin¡¯s life-threatening questions, the surrounding Team A students could no longer hide their smiles.


    They had long disliked Zhuang Jie! How could there be someone like her who didn¡¯t know what was good for her and couldn¡¯t tell good from bad?


    Not to mention that the strangest thing was that this person always targeted the Vice squad monitor for no reason and repeatedly attacked Zhuang Xian with words. This kind of ingratitude was disgusting!


    Therefore, they were pleased to see Li Qin¡¯s rebuttal leave Zhuang Jie speechless. They even felt it didn¡¯t matter if they did it a few more times.


    ¡°Li Qin, you¡¯re the one!¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Jie raise her hand and glare at him, Li Qin asked, ¡°I what? Did I say something wrong? Are you not that kind of person? Come on, Zhuang Jie! Can you use your new brain and stop being so stupid? I think it¡¯s a waste of my intelligence to scold you! I¡¯m worried you won¡¯t understand if I subtly scold you more!¡±


    ¡°Pfft! Hahaha, brother Li Qin! Alright, you¡¯re so mean. I like it.¡± Zhang Yang stood beside Li Qin and laughed out loud.


    Seeing that Zhuang Jie was so angry that she could only stomp her feet on the spot, Li Qin shut his mouth disinterestedly and walked over to Zhuang Xian. When he passed Zhuang Jie, he warned her in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out that you¡¯ve been following Zhuang Xian, and don¡¯t do anything stupid like attacking her. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you go. I always keep my word!¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s voice was shallow, and he spoke very quickly. It seemed that he had only paused for a moment beside Zhuang Jie.


    The other students did not realize that he had spoken. Only Lin Feng and Zhang Yang, who had been following behind him, heard a little.

 Chapter 371 - 371 Chapter 371. Full of Praise

    371 Chapter 371. Full of Praise


    Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Zhuang Jie with a dark expression. After thinking of something, he quickly caught up with Li Qin and asked in a low voice, ¡°Brother Qin, what did you mean by that? What do you mean by Zhuang Jie following sister Xian?¡±


    Li Qin frowned slightly and explained to Lin Feng in a soft voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t sister Xian go to help out Squad leader Ma this morning? As soon as sister Xian came out of the tent, she saw the Squad monitor, who was still on duty, so she chatted with him for a while. Zhuang Jie had been hiding in the distance and peeking sneakily. I knew she was up to no good! This woman is petty and vengeful. I¡¯m worried she¡¯ll do something to sister Xian, so I¡¯ve been watching her! I targeted her just now to give her a beating and teach her a lesson!¡±


    Lin Feng¡¯s handsome face darkened when he heard this as if he was calculating something in his heart.


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s body froze on the spot, and she only returned to her senses after a long while.


    She didn¡¯t expect Li Qin to have such a frightening aura. Her heart stopped when Li Qin said he wouldn¡¯t let her off. This feeling was somewhat similar, and she wasn¡¯t sure if she had felt it.


    Under Ma Zhong¡¯s leadership and Zhuang Xian¡¯s help, Team A¡¯s breakfast time was half an hour earlier.


    Holding the hot and fragrant breakfast in their hands, these students, who looked like they hadn¡¯t eaten in hundreds of years, immediately buried their heads and ate like hungry tigers pouncing on their food.


    Ma Zhong looked at the children eating happily and turned to Zhuang Xian with a pleased expression. He gave her a thumbs up and complimented, ¡°Zhuang Xian, you¡¯re good! Today¡¯s congee was cooked according to your cooking method, but it was actually to everyone¡¯s liking! You know quite a lot at such a young age! You¡¯re a small child, so your cooking skills should be excellent, right? It was perfect! I¡¯ve learned something today!¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled as she looked at Squad leader Ma, who was full of praise for her. She then took her lunch box and left the place. Zhuang Jie¡¯s figure appeared in her peripheral vision.


    Zhuang Jie had been pacing back and forth in the front seat for a while. Even though her classmates had already come to get breakfast, she still stood there, pretending to be reserved.


    Zhuang Xian knew in her heart that Zhuang Jie was too embarrassed to come over to get breakfast because she had been standing there helping the other students with their food. Thinking of this, Zhuang Xian smiled slightly but was also quite speechless towards Zhuang Jie.


    If one were to say she is stupid and thick-skinned, she would know what it meant to be embarrassed. If one were to say that she was a little reserved and proud, but looking at her sneaky mouth, it was hilarious!


    Zhuang Xian carried the lunch box and walked toward their group¡¯s seats. At the same time, Lin Feng and Li Qin subconsciously wanted to give up their seats to Zhuang Xian, but Lin Feng was still slow.


    As he looked at Zhuang Xian, sitting beside Li Qin, Lin Feng lowered his head and started eating the food in the lunchbox.


    Li Qin was careless and didn¡¯t notice this. He only saw that Zhuang Xian kept looking at Zhuang Jie, who was in the food collection area. He laughed sarcastically and said, ¡°Zhuang Liang is the most shameless person I¡¯ve ever met! She just said that sister Xian had gone to help out in the cooking class to flatter Squad leader Ma, and now she had the nerve to go and pick up the food! If she had a bit of backbone and didn¡¯t eat the breakfast you made today, I, Li Qin, might have looked up to her! Now? Hmph!¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, he snorted in a very speechless and disdainful manner.


    The place where they made breakfast was open to the public, so even if Zhuang Jie went to get breakfast when there was no one around, it was inevitable that other students would see her. Everyone was well aware of this person¡¯s weird and shameless behavior.


    However, there were still some students who couldn¡¯t stand it. They said sarcastically in a cold voice, ¡°Yo! You had looked down on the Vice squad monitor just now, so why are you eating breakfast made by her? Aren¡¯t you afraid of choking to death? Your skin is so thick; it¡¯s beyond ordinary people¡¯s imagination. I¡¯ve never seen such a weird and shameless person like you! What the hell is this?¡±

 Chapter 372 - 372 Chapter 372. Military Boxing

    372 Chapter 372. Military Boxing


    Zhuang Jie felt hungry. Even though she was being ridiculed, she had no choice but to pretend she didn¡¯t care. She left with the food shamelessly, leaving behind a group of angry and speechless classmates who stared at her back.


    They all stood up for Zhuang Xian and looked at Zhuang Jie with fire in their eyes.


    However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression remained indifferent, but an invisible light flashed across the depths of her eyes. She was not afraid that Zhuang Jie would compete with her, but she was worried that Zhuang Jie would not eat the breakfast she had made today.


    However, the truth proved that she understood Zhuang Jie very well. At least Zhuang Xian knew that Zhuang Jie would not let herself suffer in such a matter!


    So, whether she participated in the breakfast today or not, it didn¡¯t affect Zhuang Jie from taking care of herself.


    After all, humans were made of iron, and food was made of steel. One would be famished if they didn¡¯t eat!


    As she watched Zhuang Jie¡¯s figure disappear from the tent, Zhuang Xian lowered her head in relief and began to enjoy this not-so-sumptuous breakfast.


    Breakfast time soon ended, and the day¡¯s military training began.


    Because Team A had won yesterday¡¯s match, no other classes came to fight them head-on. Hence, Team A, who had one round of victory, did not have to participate in the inter-class tournament today!


    Luo Fei thought for a while and led the 49 students in the class to a relatively open space in the forest. Then, he began to teach them military boxing.


    Looking at the students sitting in a circle, Luo Fei turned around and walked to the middle seat. He put down the things he had on him and said, ¡°Although our class got a free pass today, I can¡¯t let you guys stay idle. I will teach you guys how to use this military boxing set. You won¡¯t have dinner if you don¡¯t learn it by dinner time!¡±


    Luo Fei smiled faintly when he heard the wails from the crowd. He ignored them and continued, ¡°I¡¯ll show you guys once; you can take it as a rest!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he immediately stood still on the spot. The aura around him changed instantly, as sharp as an unsheathed blade.


    Zhuang Xian was sitting at the edge of the crowd. She glanced at Zhuang Jie from the corner of her eyes but quickly retracted her gaze. This was because Zhang Yang had asked her a question.


    ¡°Sister Xian! Do you know military boxing? When we were in the Sports Academy, we practiced boxing. I wonder if you can do it as we did?¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian looked up at Luo Fei, who was in the middle and said softly, ¡°It should be different. The military¡¯s military boxing is much more professional than the outside world¡¯s. The Squad monitor is willing to teach you this because he¡¯s a good person. You should cherish it,¡±


    Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s tone. He quickly asked, ¡°So, sister Xian, you know how to do this kind of military boxing?¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t think there was anything to hide. The things that she had revealed to them were already strange enough. Knowing how to perform military boxing didn¡¯t seem to be anything weird. Thus, she nodded her head lightly.


    Zhang Yang¡¯s eyes lit up, and he said happily, ¡°Sister Xian, doesn¡¯t that mean you can rest for a day? This is too good!¡±


    As he spoke, he sighed dejectedly. ¡°If only I knew how to do it too. After these few days of continuous training and competition, I feel like I can join the army. My body is a lot stronger than when I was in school.¡±


    Li Qin had been watching the Squad monitor practice boxing in front of him. When he realized that he knew how to do it too, he said in a rather dull manner, ¡°This set of fist techniques is indeed very suitable for recruits. The Squad monitor is thoughtful. There¡¯s nothing to say about the students in our class.¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, a ghostly idea suddenly flashed through his mind. It was about their team dinner later.


    He smiled, looked at Zhuang Xian, and then suggested cheekily, ¡°Sister Xian! When we came from the camp, I saw a pheasant nest on the mountainside. Why don¡¯t we tell the squad monitor that we¡¯ll go over and hunt pheasants to have an extra meal for the students at night? How is it?¡±


    When they heard an extra meal, the students around them instantly turned their heads and looked over with shining eyes.


    As if she could feel everyone¡¯s enthusiasm, Zhuang Xian was stunned. She started to think about something.

 Chapter 373 - 373 Chapter 373. What Medicine?

    373 Chapter 373. What Medicine?


    After a long while, Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly and nodded. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll talk to the squad monitor later.¡±


    When Li Qin and Zhang Yang heard this, they clenched their fists in joy and high-fived each other in tacit understanding. Then, they exclaimed ¡®Yes¡¯ three times in succession!


    A series of exclamations could be heard from the corner where Zhuang Xian was standing. This naturally could not escape Luo Fei. After he finished the set of fist techniques, he immediately stopped and stood still, looking at their position.


    ¡°Li Qin, Zhang Yang! You two, come over here!¡±


    When Li Qin heard Luo Fei call out his name, he froze bitterly. Even the intelligent and wise young master of the Li family, the famous hacker extreme fox, would be afraid of being called out by the teacher or Squad monitor in class!


    Li Qin looked at Luo Fei helplessly. The corners of his mouth curled up into a flattering smile. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Squad monitor? Is there anything I can help you with?¡±


    Luo Fei chuckled and looked at him. Then, he looked at Zhang Yang, who was standing beside him. He beckoned them to hurry up and come over to him, but he did not say a word.


    Zhang Yang had no choice but to stand up and take the lead, with Li Qin following closely behind.


    Lin Feng, sitting next to them, felt a little amused by their posture. He could only rejoice that he had not just participated in their conversation. Otherwise, he would have been included in the squad monitor¡¯s live targets.


    After Li Qin and Zhang Yang left, there was a lot of space beside him and Zhuang Xian. He could already smell the unknown medicinal scent from Zhuang Xian¡¯s body. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Sister Xian, what kind of ointment did you use? It smells pretty good!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she looked at Lin Feng with a puzzled expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t use any ointment.¡±


    As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched the wound on her left face. ¡°The wound is only bandaged by the gauze that Li Qin gave me. There is no medicine. Did you smell it wrong?¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s denial, Lin Feng did not think much of it. ¡°Really? I must have smelled it wrong.¡±


    Seeing Lin Feng¡¯s suspicions had been dispelled, Zhuang Xian heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She did not expect Lin Feng¡¯s nose to be so sharp, to be able to smell such the light scent of blood-dissipating powder.


    As she thought of obscure thoughts, Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze from Lin Feng and glanced at Zhuang Jie, who was not far away.


    She looked at her watch, then stood up and walked towards Luo Fei and Li Qin, who were in the crowd.


    ¡°Squad monitor! Li Qin and I know this set of fist techniques you¡¯re trying to teach us. Why don¡¯t you adjust the nature of Li Qin¡¯s work and stop making him a human sandbag? It¡¯s such a waste of talent. Let him help me teach our teammates boxing. The more people you teach, the more effective you¡¯ll be.¡±


    After listening to Zhuang Xian¡¯s suggestion, Luo Fei felt it was a good idea. He smiled and replied, ¡°That¡¯s a good idea, not bad, not bad.¡±


    As he spoke, he patted Li Qin¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile, ¡°Then you can go. Just listen to the Vice squad monitor.¡±


    As a result, the students from Team A who had surrounded Luo Feili were immediately divided into three groups and dispersed to practice.


    Naturally, Zhang Yang and Lin Feng followed Zhuang Xian¡¯s lead. Wherever she went, the two of them would follow.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her teammates and said, ¡°Squad monitor has already done it once so I won¡¯t show you anymore. We¡¯ll split this set of fist techniques into seventeen forms. Break down each form and practice it well. Then, we¡¯ll finally combine them all together.¡±


    Just as Zhuang Xian finished her sentence, Zhang Yang quickly urged her, ¡°That¡¯s naturally the best! Sister Xian, hurry up and start. I still want to finish learning as soon as possible to catch pheasants with you and Brother Qin!¡±


    At the mention of ¡®catching pheasants¡¯, Zhuang Xian could feel the eyes of more than a dozen teammates around her begin to light up. If it weren¡¯t for Zhuang Xian chuckling and bringing back a few of the male students¡¯ minds, they would have already fantasized about eating a delicious chicken leg.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t waste time and started teaching them the fist technique.


    The beautiful young girl standing in the crowd, wearing a military training uniform that was not dirty and a pair of handsome military boots, started to perform the first form of military boxing!

 Chapter 374 - 374 Chapter 374. Blood

    374 Chapter 374. Blood-scattering Powder


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s figure was tall and beautiful as she practiced. Every move she made exuded a particularly heroic and confident temperament.


    Obviously, her stance was not something that could be trained overnight. Naturally, she was not just for show. After all, Zhuang Xian¡¯s previous battle achievements were still high on the list!


    The students around her who had been learning her fist technique all started to become a little dizzy. They couldn¡¯t help but reveal expressions of surprise and envy.


    They thought that their vice squad monitor was a treasure! Zhuang Xian¡¯s good points seemed endless and could always be used to surprise people.


    Some students could not help but wonder what an outstanding girl like Zhuang Xian ate when she was young.


    Naturally, they did not know how much hard work, sweat, and blood Zhuang Xian had put in behind the scenes to achieve what she had today.


    Learning the fist technique wasn¡¯t dull because it was already the most relaxing and joyful day they had spent in the past few days of military training.


    On the other hand, Zhuang Jie, who was learning from Squad monitor Luo Fei, did not think so.


    She had only practiced half a set of fist techniques but was already starting to feel weak. Her mouth was dry, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Standing at the back of the crowd, Zhuang Jie thought she couldn¡¯t take it anymore, so she raised her hand and leaned against a tree to rest.


    However, before she could put her hand on it, she was immediately discovered by Luo Fei.


    Luo Fei took a few steps towards her and said in a deep voice, ¡°Hurry up and keep practicing. Don¡¯t always think about slacking off. If you still don¡¯t meet the standard before the end of the evening, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡±


    Luo Fei looked down on a student like Zhuang Jie, who was used to playing tricks. He looked at her with a fiercer gaze than usual.


    Zhuang Jie had no choice. She knew that even if she told the squad monitor she was not feeling well, he might not believe her.


    Therefore, Zhuang Jie, whose limbs were weak, could only clench her teeth and continue to persevere. She guessed that this morning, because of her guilt and nervousness, she didn¡¯t have time to chew slowly, so her stomach started to resist and feel uncomfortable.


    Ever since Zhuang Jie participated in military training, it was not as if she had not improved at all. At least she had learned to follow orders, persevere, and be patient!


    However, if Zhuang Jie had known more about medical knowledge, she wouldn¡¯t have gotten into such a terrible situation.


    As the sun above their heads became brighter, the forest¡¯s temperature also increased. Some of the students with really heavy physiques had already begun to be unable to withstand the high temperature. They drank big mouthfuls of water and began to take off their clothes on the ground.


    Zhuang Jie felt that her condition was getting increasingly worse. The fatigue and sleepiness in her body had disappeared, but a burning and uneasy feeling followed!


    The squad monitor shouted the next move on the beat. He had to tighten his body to kick the right leg, but Zhuang Jie could not even stand, so how could she lift a leg as heavy as a million pounds?


    She shook her head, trying to shake off the sudden dizziness and weightlessness in the depths of her brain, but this action did not save her!


    Ye Xin, who was standing not far away from Zhuang Jie, had noticed that something was wrong with her. Zhuang Jie¡¯s face was pale and weak half an hour ago, so how did it turn so red quickly? This was too illogical!


    Therefore, when she saw Zhuang Jie falling towards her, Ye Xin subconsciously took a step back and allowed Zhuang Jie to land heavily in front of her.


    Ye Xin looked in surprise at Zhuang Jie, whose face was on the ground. She gulped nervously and raised her hand, ¡°Squad monitor! Zhuang Jie has fallen to the ground!¡±


    Luo Fei didn¡¯t even need Ye Xin¡¯s shout. When Zhuang Jie smashed into the spot next to her, she didn¡¯t move. She also took a step back in a pronounced and cold manner. Luo Fei saw everything.


    Luo Fei was about five steps away from Ye Xin. He looked at her intensely and walked over to her in a hurry.


    He squatted down and gently turned Zhuang Jie over from the ground.

 Chapter 375 - 375 Chapter 375. A Broken Nose

    375 Chapter 375. A Broken Nose


    Luo Fei¡¯s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Zhuang Jie¡¯s red face and the wound in the middle of her nose, which was broken and bleeding.


    His mind went blank for a few seconds before he shouted, ¡°Who brought a towel and handkerchief? Quickly bring it over and help her stop the bleeding!¡±


    After Luo Fei finished shouting, the crowd was silent for at least ten seconds. Then, a boy handed him a gray towel trembling hands.


    The boy used this towel to wipe his sweat. He had given it to Zhuang Jie on his own accord. This was already a subconscious reaction after being scared silly.


    The others behind them did not see Zhuang Jie¡¯s injuries. When they heard the squad monitor¡¯s request, they looked at the handkerchiefs or towels they were wearing, then at the Zhuang Jie in Luo Fei¡¯s hand. They pouted and felt a little unhappy.


    They were indeed not willing to let Zhuang Jie use their things.


    Looking at the towel the boy handed over, Luo Fei couldn¡¯t care less. After taking it, he directly helped Zhuang Jie press her nose!


    He furrowed his brows tightly. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but they only lasted for a moment.


    He opened his mouth and ordered the boy standing beside him in a deep voice, ¡°Go over there and call the Vice squad monitor over. Tell her that this is my order. Let her manage the students in the team well. When it¡¯s time to return to the camp, she should bring you back on time! I¡¯m going to take this injured student back first!¡±


    The boy nodded subconsciously to show that he understood. He licked his dry lips and ran in the direction of Zhuang Xian.


    As he ran and wiped his sweat, the images he had seen just now kept flashing back in his mind. Zhuang Jie¡¯s nose seemed to have been broken, right?


    After Luo Fei instructed the male student, he looked at Ye Xin, standing to the side. She was shocked by the injuries on Zhuang Jie¡¯s face. Luo Fei said sternly, ¡°Squat down and help me cover Zhuang Jie¡¯s wound! I¡¯m going to take her back to the camp immediately. Her nose is broken!¡±


    Ye Xin was dumbfounded as she listened to Luo Fei¡¯s orders. She didn¡¯t respond for a long time. Only when Luo Fei repeated the order for the second time did Ye Xin return to her senses. With trembling hands, she went to help the unconscious Zhuang Jie cover her bloody face.


    Luo Fei picked Zhuang Jie up in a princess style.


    He noticed Ye Xin, who was still in a daze, and reminded her coldly, ¡°You¡¯d better only press on her wound, don¡¯t cover her mouth too! Don¡¯t let Zhuang Jie die from blood loss and be suffocated to death by you!¡±


    When Ye Xin heard this, she trembled uncontrollably and slowly loosened her grip. She was also afraid that Zhuang Jie would die like this.


    In this awkward position, Luo Fei got up and looked at the students behind him. He said in a deep voice, ¡°This student is seriously injured. I will take her back to the camp to find a doctor to stop the bleeding. You will listen to the Vice squad monitor¡¯s orders later. Today¡¯s task remains the same; I need to check tonight!¡±


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t pay much attention to Luo Fei¡¯s words. She only looked at the towel in her hand, which was already red from the blood. ¡°Team! I feel that Zhuang Jie¡¯s blood is flowing too fast! Let me go down the mountain first!¡±


    Luo Fei had already finished speaking. He carried Zhuang Jie and walked down the mountain without a word. Ye Xin paced beside the Squad monitor, not daring to be careless.


    She noticed the shock and confusion on the squad monitor¡¯s face when he looked at her. She also knew that the Squad monitor blamed her for not helping Zhuang Jie or gently pulling her. If she had done something to stop Zhuang Jie from falling, Zhuang Jie would not have fallen so badly.


    The ground below Ye Xin¡¯s previous position was filled with gravel!


    Rotten leaves covered the broken rocks, and military boots protected their steps, so there was no danger. However, no one had ever fallen without care like Zhuang Jie.


    Luo Fei and Ye Xin did not expect Zhuang Jie¡¯s nose to be broken from a simple fall. Strange things happen every year, but today was especially so!

 Chapter 376 - 376 Chapter 376. Luo Feis Questioning

    376 Chapter 376. Luo Fei¡¯s Questioning


    Of course, this was no longer a strange thing to Zhuang Jie. It was a sad and tragic thing!


    Fortunately, the place where they trained today was not far from the camp. Luo Fei ran with Zhuang Jie in his arms. His hands were already weak and numb when he put Zhuang Jie on the stretcher bed.


    Even a strong man like Luo Fei, who trained daily, could not carry such a living person. After coming down from the mountain, he did not have any reaction. He was mighty, but he wasn¡¯t some superhuman.


    As he watched the two doctors carry Zhuang Jie into the tent, Luo Fei heaved an imperceptible sigh of relief. He looked at the blood stains on his chest and clothes, as well as Ye Xin¡¯s hands that were covered in blood, and his heart sank.


    He turned around and sat on the chair in front of the tent. He lowered his head and asked in a low voice, ¡°Haven¡¯t you always been good friends with Zhuang Jie? Why didn¡¯t you reach out to help her when she fell? If you had just reached out to pull her, she wouldn¡¯t have fallen so hard and might not have suffered such a serious injury!¡±


    As Luo Fei spoke, he looked at Ye Xin and asked with a puzzled expression, ¡°Even if you¡¯re not friends, you should be classmates, right? After so many days of sharing joys and sorrows, can¡¯t you feel a little compassion? Or perhaps, you don¡¯t even have a heart?¡±


    Ye Xin seemed to have been triggered by the confusion and surprise on Luo Fei¡¯s face. She retorted nervously, ¡°I didn¡¯t react in time. I didn¡¯t mean not to save her! Squad monitor, why are you looking at me like that? I didn¡¯t cause her to fall! Zhuang Jie¡¯s serious injury shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with me, okay?¡±


    It had to be said that Ye Xin¡¯s reaction was swift. She quickly found a flaw that could refute Luo Fei¡¯s accusations and loudly tried to prove her innocence.


    Luo Fei looked at Ye Xin with a complicated expression. His face was filled with gloominess and disappointment. He didn¡¯t say a word and just kept looking at her.


    When Ye Xin saw that Luo Fei was unmoved by her explanation, she couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly anxious. She explained, ¡°The situation was so urgent at that time. It¡¯s normal for me not to react in time. I¡¯m just a student, not a soldier or a doctor. I should have the right to be afraid, right? What right do you have to ask me to help Zhuang Jie so quickly? This has nothing to do with me. I didn¡¯t harm Zhuang Jie!¡±


    Luo Fei laughed slowly when he heard that. There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re good with words. You¡¯re pretty good at it. Of course, you have the right to be afraid. I didn¡¯t say that you can¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m just a little curious. Ask yourself, was it because you were afraid that you couldn¡¯t react in time that you took that step back?¡±


    As he spoke, he chuckled softly. ¡°You said you¡¯re terrified. What are you afraid of? Did Zhuang Jie have a knife or a thorn on her body during training? The two of you have no grudges and are even friends. Why would you say such strange and urgent words? Are you afraid of your friends?


    I can¡¯t understand why you¡¯re trying to defend yourself like this and even subconsciously absolve yourself. Anyone who¡¯s a little more normal wouldn¡¯t do something like this, indifferent and cold! When you took that one step back, it was already against the conscience of human beings. Do you know that?¡±


    Ye Xin gulped. Just as she was about to say something, she immediately realized she couldn¡¯t refute him.


    Luo Fei was right. She was not afraid at that time, nor did she not react in time. She deliberately did not reach out to save Zhuang Jie. She hated that stupid person and wanted to see her ridiculous appearance when she fell!


    However, she did not expect Zhuang Jie to fall so badly that even the squad monitor was starting to feel indignant on her behalf. He was even beginning to doubt her.


    As Luo Fei spoke, he realized he had been too excited. He took a deep breath and frowned as he looked at Ye Xin. He sighed in disappointment and resolve.

 Chapter 377 - 377 Chapter 377. Born as a Bad Seed

    377 Chapter 377. Born as a Bad Seed


    ¡°Or do you think I shouldn¡¯t look at you with such normal values? You¡¯re a selfish, evil person with no kindness or innocence in your heart, right?¡± Luo Fei¡¯s eyes were cold as he glared at Ye Xin.


    Ye Xin subconsciously retorted in a panic, ¡°I¡¯m not!¡±


    In response to Ye Xin¡¯s rebuttal, Luo Fei asked in a deep voice, ¡°Then how are you going to explain your indifference and coldness? I shouldn¡¯t have blamed you wrongly, right? You didn¡¯t save Zhuang Jie on purpose, even if saving her would only bring you benefits and no harm. You didn¡¯t do anything.¡±


    Ye Xin¡¯s face flushed red with anger. She widened her big bright eyes and retorted loudly, ¡°I¡¯m not wrong! Why do you insist on this point? Since you¡¯ve seen through my actions so clearly, you should know that Zhuang Jie¡¯s fall has nothing to do with me!


    At most, you can only criticize me on a moral level! This matter has nothing to do with me. I¡¯ve already done my best to help you bring Zhuang Jie back from the mountain! I¡¯m not wrong!¡±


    Ye Xin stubbornly insisted that she wasn¡¯t in the wrong. Her eyes were already starting to turn red.


    She was not afraid of falling out with Luo Fei. After all, this matter had nothing to do with her. She was just worried that if this matter were blown up, it would affect her results in the future.


    Luo Fei was a brilliant soldier. He was competent and very attentive and focused in his work. He was a very responsible squad monitor based on his responsibility and thoughtfulness to many students in Team A. That was why he was so anxious when he saw that one of his teammates was injured.


    Luo Fei was very protective of his teammates and cared much about them. Because of this depth of love, he had to be blamed! His disappointment towards Ye Xin was unparalleled.


    If he didn¡¯t care so much for these students, he wouldn¡¯t have been so heartbroken to berate Ye Xin. This had nothing to do with him, the squad monitor.


    In this hellish military training ground, which day had there not been a few students who had chosen to withdraw from the military training because of injuries? It didn¡¯t seem strange to have Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin, so why was he being so calculative?


    Whether Ye Xin was a good person or not, what did it have to do with him, a mere military training squad monitor? They were all just temporary guests.


    Reality has proven that sometimes, a human¡¯s sincere feelings can only be projected when targeted. Otherwise, it was easy to hurt oneself and waste feelings!


    For example, Luo Fei wasted a pure heart of love and protection.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I don¡¯t think I can teach someone like you! I¡¯ll report to my Captain and transfer you to another squad leader¡¯s team. You can have someone else take you!¡± Luo Fei said in a deep voice with an indifferent expression.


    He got up and left the place.


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t quite understand Luo Fei¡¯s actions. It was as if Luo Fei¡¯s compromising speed had dumbfounded her. What did he mean by asking someone else to take her? Could there be such an operation?


    As she thought about it, she looked at Luo Fei¡¯s back as he gradually disappeared into the distance.


    Ye Xin still didn¡¯t know how much difficulty and torture Luo Fei¡¯s decision to change her team would bring to her future military training life.


    If she could predict the future, she would have pounced on Luo Fei¡¯s legs and loudly begged for mercy, praying for the squad monitor¡¯s forgiveness.


    However, Ye Xin didn¡¯t have that unique ability. After thinking about it for a while, she felt a sense of self-satisfaction in her heart. She thought that as long as she could avoid Zhuang Xian and Luo Fei, she could go anywhere she wanted.


    The doctors at the campsite were trying their best to treat Zhuang Jie. However, when they saw the student¡¯s injuries and the blood that could not be stopped, they immediately informed Luo Fei. They explained earnestly, ¡°We¡¯ve already given her an injection to stop the bleeding and pain. Logically speaking, she should have stopped bleeding and regained consciousness! But she didn¡¯t. The broken blood vessel at the bridge of her nose wasn¡¯t large, but it was bleeding so much for some reason! We suspect this student has a history of other blood diseases or perhaps some other hidden diseases!¡±

 Chapter 378 - 378 Chapter 378. Self

    378 Chapter 378. Self-ridicule


    ¡°I suggest that we send her to the hospital immediately. Otherwise, her condition might get worse!¡±


    After listening to the military doctor¡¯s report, Luo Fei thoughtfully nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you for so long, and you still didn¡¯t come out, so I informed the Chief Instructor. His helicopter will be here soon!¡±


    When the military doctor heard Luo Fei¡¯s words, a look of admiration flashed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so smart! You have great foresight.¡±


    Luo Fei was no longer happy with the military doctor¡¯s praise. He only complained to himself bitterly, ¡°This is the third time I¡¯ve asked the instructor for help. It can¡¯t be considered as foreseeing. It¡¯s more like we¡¯ve gotten to know each other better! Proficient in the business!¡±


    The military doctor did not understand Luo Fei¡¯s self-mockery and looked at him in confusion.


    The military doctors did not know what kind of suffering Luo Fei had gone through in the past two days. It made him so familiar with the operation of calling for help!


    An Ye¡¯s attack on Zhuang Xian was the first time and was also the most serious one! In the match, Zhuang Xian fought back against the Team B leader who was holding a gun and beat him into a pig¡¯s head. This was the second time he had asked Lei Cheng for help! And now, it was the third time!


    Luo Fei did not know whether he should laugh or cry! So many things had happened all this time, all of which seemed to be related to his extraordinary vice squad monitor. Zhuang Xian was the kind of protagonist who would shine! Wherever she went, she would be the focus!


    Luo Fei, who was in a daze, thought about it and realized something was wrong. What happened just now had nothing to do with Zhuang Xian! When Zhuang Jie fell to the ground, Zhuang Xian was not even at the scene and had witnessed the entire incident with his own eyes.


    At that moment, Zhuang Xian, who Luo Fei had said was not ordinary, was still leading some students of Team A to practice boxing. She was presently holding the blade of a dagger and sitting in front of the students in the queue. She was looking at everyone practicing boxing lazily.


    ¡°Sister Xian! How bad could Zhuang Jie¡¯s fall have been for the squad monitor to carry her back to the camp alone, despite so many students on the team? It can¡¯t be broken, right?¡± Zhang Yang asked with great interest.


    Zhuang Xian looked up at him and pointed at his back. ¡°When you practice boxing, you have to straighten your back. Otherwise, your punches will be unstable! You can start again, and you¡¯re not allowed to speak.¡±


    Zhang Yang immediately shut his mouth and took a deep breath. He then started practicing the first style of military boxing again. He did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhuang Xian.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was in a bad mood, Li Qin turned around and sat beside her. He asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? What do you think about Zhuang Jie and Ye Xin? I regret not being here at that time. Otherwise, I would have taken a good look at Zhuang Jie¡¯s show. How stupid she must be to fall to her death while practicing! I heard her nose was broken, but I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°It should be true. My blood-dissipating powder hit Zhuang Jie, and probably couldn¡¯t hold on and fell to the ground. She was unlucky enough to hit a stone on the ground, which was why her nose was broken.¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s tone was full of laziness and nonchalance, as if what she was saying was only a small matter about what to eat for dinner later and not a significant issue like her poisoning Zhuang Jie.


    When Li Qin heard this, he was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he asked, ¡°When did this happen? Why didn¡¯t you ask me to help you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian tilted her head and looked at him. After a moment of silence, she slowly explained, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter; I don¡¯t need you!¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian speechlessly and was about to say something when Zhuang Xian, who knew him very well, cut him off. ¡°I¡¯m a famous pharmacist in the pharmaceutical industry. There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t do! Don¡¯t worry; I won¡¯t be discovered! Zhuang Jie was finished this time. When I made breakfast this morning, I put my specially-made blood-dissipating powder into the five-kernel porridge you¡¯re eating!


    The blood-scattering powder sounds very powerful, but it¡¯s made from a mixture of precious medicinal powders. It won¡¯t cause any harm to the ordinary human body. It can even add to the aroma of the food itself, making people hungry!¡±

 Chapter 379 - 379 Chapter 379. The Gluttonous Gu Worm

    379 Chapter 379. The Gluttonous Gu Worm


    But this isn¡¯t so friendly to Zhuang Jie and An Ye!


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at Li Qin with dark eyes and said cheekily, ¡°Of course, An Ye isn¡¯t here, so you don¡¯t need my blood-scattering powder. Only Zhuang Jie was left behind. I can borrow the blood powder to hook the young Gu insect I planted in her body! Gu insects love the smell of the blood-scattering powder. They would usually wake up two hours after the medicine took effect and play an important role along the human body¡¯s blood vessels! Do you know what it¡¯s used for?¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s odd expression and frowned slightly. He subconsciously replied, ¡°What¡¯s its function?¡±


    Zhuang Xian chuckled and patted Li Qin¡¯s face, explaining, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s to devour human platelets to grow faster! When the Gu worm grew up, it would start to think that there were not enough platelets to eat and begin consuming the nutrients in the human blood! When it grew a little bigger, it would even start attacking the walls of the blood vessels! Of course, I¡¯m not that cruel, so the Gu worms I¡¯ve developed don¡¯t have any solid offensive abilities. They only fight for food in their blood.


    The physical manifestation of these victims is that they often become tired and weak, their limbs weak, and it isn¡¯t easy to concentrate. Their bodies will experience pain for unknown reasons, and then they will become thinner and more tired! It¡¯s as if he¡¯s seriously ill, but modern technology can¡¯t figure out the cause.¡±


    Li Qin felt the warmth of Zhuang Xian¡¯s fingers and glanced at the other students far from them. He gulped and only opened his mouth after a long while, ¡°Since you¡¯ve already gotten your revenge, why are you still unhappy? Evil will have its retribution, and karma will cycle. Shouldn¡¯t you smile? Sister Xian, I don¡¯t see any happiness in your eyes.¡±


    If not for her previous life, Li Qin could be considered Zhuang Xian¡¯s older brother because he was older than her.


    Even though he always called her sister Xian, that was only to express his admiration and respect for her.


    In his eyes, Zhuang Xian was just a little girl who was unusually stubborn and challenging at the same time. Just like the Zhuang Xian at this moment. Her heart was fragile, but she still had to pretend to be tough and tenacious, unwilling to let anyone see her weak and lonely.


    ¡°I¡¯m so cruel and vicious; aren¡¯t you afraid of me?¡± Zhuang Xian looked at Li Qin and slowly retracted her hand. She lowered her head, trying to hide something, but at the same time, she wanted to know the answer from Li Qin¡¯s mouth.


    She needed someone to tell her that Zhuang Jie deserved what she had today. She was only doing this for revenge, not to be cruel and heartless!


    What answered her the next moment was a hand that was raised gently. Li Qin¡¯s hands were big and warm, but they were not as slender and well-proportioned as Mo Qian¡¯s. Due to his frequent contact with computers and keyboards, Li Qin¡¯s hands even had some calluses.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sick! Sister Xian, what nonsense are you talking about? Or was it that after taking the blood-dissipating powder, there was a side effect of hysteria? Oh my God! Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier? Do you have the antidote?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Li Qin¡¯s words, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she glared at Li Qin and said in a deep voice, ¡°Li Qin! I¡¯m being serious here!¡±


    Li Qin laughed involuntarily and patted his thighs with both hands. The smile on his face could not be concealed.


    Seeing someone looking in his direction, he restrained his smile and coaxed softly, ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t get mad. I¡¯m just trying to make you happy. You can¡¯t see it yourself, but watching your guilty look at doing bad things is amusing! Why does my sister Xian have such a cute side?


    The first part of my sentence was wrong. You didn¡¯t do anything terrible, but you did something great! You¡¯re taking revenge on Zhuang Jie. So what if you¡¯re punishing the enemy who made fun of you? Are you going to treat your enemy with respect and treat her to a meal?


    Naturally, you¡¯re not feeling guilty! In my opinion, you¡¯re too kind and self-restrained. That¡¯s why you¡¯re struggling and torturing yourself!¡±

 Chapter 380 - 380 Chapter 380. Zhuang Xians Change

    380 Chapter 380. Zhuang Xian¡¯s Change


    ¡°If I were you, I would deal with my enemies with even more brutal means! So, I think there¡¯s nothing wrong with what you¡¯re doing. You don¡¯t need to be so conflicted and in pain.¡± Li Qin looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes and said in a frank and gentle tone.


    Li Qin didn¡¯t know why Zhuang Xian would suddenly have such thoughts. His sister Xian in the past, would never have considered such things!


    Would you expect a cold and heartless woman to have the same body temperature as a human? It shouldn¡¯t, right? This was Li Qin¡¯s view of Zhuang Xian in the past.


    But slowly, as he got to know Zhuang Xian, Li Qin realized that sister Xian had changed a lot.


    This time, after returning from the base, she became even gentler. Li Qin didn¡¯t know why Zhuang Xian had such a change, but he felt it was a good idea.


    He liked the gentle Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian, who had been listening to Li Qin say so much, only kept looking at him. In those beautiful eyes, it was as if something was moving and warming up.


    Zhuang Xian felt that she shouldn¡¯t have tested Li Qin like that. Li Qin was a frank person. If he wasn¡¯t worthy of her trust, then no one in this world was worthy of her trust.


    ¡°Sister Xian! Brother Qin! What are you guys talking about? You¡¯ve been talking for so long!¡± After Zhang Yang finished his military boxing, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, sitting not far away from him, and asked curiously.


    Lin Feng subconsciously turned his head and looked in that direction.


    The two were sitting very close to each other and talking intimately. Lin Feng¡¯s heart could not help but start to ache. He knew that he liked Zhuang Xian, but he did not know if Li Qin also liked Zhuang Xian.


    Li Qin was always by Zhuang Xian¡¯s side.


    Lin Feng knew Li Qin and Zhuang Xian were not ordinary siblings or friends. However, he could not tell Li Qin¡¯s true feelings for Zhuang Xian. Lin Feng felt very conflicted and uncomfortable.


    At home, he used to see his sister reading those novels that described youthful love. Secretly falling in love with a person is one¡¯s chaos. That was true. Lin Feng felt that his feelings over the past few days accurately portrayed this sentence.


    Feeling a force on his shoulder, Lin Feng finally regained his senses. He looked at Zhang Yang, holding his shoulder, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Zhang Yang looked at him strangely. ¡°I should be the one asking you what¡¯s wrong. You¡¯ve been in a daze recently! I¡¯ve been talking to you long, didn¡¯t you hear me?¡±


    Lin Feng cleared his throat and asked, ¡°What are you saying?¡±


    Zhang Yang pointed at Zhuang Xian and Li Qin and repeated what he had just said with a strange expression. ¡°Sister Xian said that our training this afternoon has been going well. Other than a few students, everyone can already perform the complete set of fist techniques. There¡¯s still almost an hour before we return to the camp. She and Brother Qin are taking us to hunt pheasants!¡±


    He looked at Lin Feng worriedly. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question. Why have you been lost in thought for the past few days? Are you sick?¡±


    Lin Feng shook his head and patted Zhang Yang¡¯s shoulder. He pretended to be excited and said, ¡°What could be wrong with me? I¡¯m just a little tired from the intense military training! Didn¡¯t you say you were going to hunt pheasants? When do we leave?¡±


    As Lin Feng¡¯s voice fell, Li Qin¡¯s voice resounded throughout the forest.


    He said, ¡°The students have been studying all day; I¡¯m sure they¡¯re all tired.¡± Since the squad monitor isn¡¯t here, and it¡¯s still early, why don¡¯t the Vice squad monitor and I take you to hunt pheasants? If we take it back and give it to squad leader Ma, we can have an extra meal tonight! The food in the camp these few days has also become bland, to the point that a bird is about to fade from our mouths! Does anyone want to eat meat?¡±


    To the already famished students of Team A, Li Qin¡¯s suggestion was no different from someone giving you a soft pillow when you were exhausted. It was like you could get whatever you wanted!


    Everyone¡¯s mood was instantly uplifted. They looked at Li Qin and Zhuang Xian with eyes full of gratitude.

 Chapter 381 - 381 Chapter 381. Not Doing Proper Work

    381 Chapter 381. Not Doing Proper Work


    Zhuang Xian looked at the students and shook her head in amusement. She shouted, ¡°Everyone in Team A as one! Now, line up and start counting!¡±


    When the students who had been surrounding them heard this, they immediately began to organize themselves. Even though many of them were already very tired, when they thought about the delicious meat they would be able to eat tonight, they became energetic again.


    The orderly counting of the students rang out in the forest. Zhuang Xian stood in front of them. Her calm and stern look made it easy for people to believe her.


    Even when Luo Fei was not around, Zhuang Xian could lead the 40-odd students in Team A very well.


    They even began to feel that Zhuang Xian¡¯s way of leading the troops was more concise and perfect than Luo Fei¡¯s. The Vice squad monitor seemed to know their strength and abilities better than the squad monitor, Luo Fei. She knew what they were good at and what they liked to do.


    During the hunt, the arrangement of the members of each group was also very detailed and appropriate.


    Perhaps it was more specific to put it this way. These Team A students all felt that with Zhuang Xian¡¯s intelligence and wit, she should be at the level of a military expert.


    Luo Fei, who was still in the campsite and dealing with the aftermath of Zhuang Jie¡¯s injury, naturally had no idea that his vice squad monitor, Zhuang Xian, had already led her entire team starts their idle afternoon!


    Even if he knew, he could not blame these children. Especially when it was time for dinner at night, he saw the red-faced squad leader Ma, the delicious and highly alluring pheasant, and the even more exaggerated pork in his lunch box. Luo Fei chose to forgive these children in an instant.


    No one could refuse the chewy, fresh, and juicy meat! Luo Fei and Lei Cheng could not!


    Who would have thought of such a strange scene?


    These young ladies and masters who were not diligent and did not know how to eat had now learned how to hunt. This shocked Luo Fei and Lei Cheng, who had suddenly started inspecting the military training progress.


    For students like them to achieve this quickly could already be considered a kind of improvement! Luo Fei thought helplessly as he looked at his teammates, who were eating with great gusto.


    Of course, all of this would happen an hour later. Luo Fei had no idea what would happen.


    Looking at Lei Cheng, who jumped down from the helicopter, Luo Fei was slightly surprised. He stood at attention and gave a military salute. He asked loudly, ¡°Captain! Why did you come here personally? This matter isn¡¯t grave; I can settle it myself!¡±


    Lei Cheng looked at Luo Fei, standing in front of him. He hooked his finger and motioned for him to walk over before talking.


    When the sound of the helicopter¡¯s wings turning became softer, Lei Cheng stopped and looked back at Luo Fei, asking, ¡°Tell me everything about Zhuang Jie¡¯s injury in detail. Don¡¯t miss out on any details.¡±


    When Luo Fei heard this, he looked at Lei Cheng strangely, but in the end, he did not say his doubts or questions.


    He stood at attention and saluted, ¡°Yes! Captain!¡±


    Ye Xin was already standing not far away when the helicopter arrived above the camp.


    She looked at the camp¡¯s military doctors as they safely escorted Zhuang Jie to the plane. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she saw Lei Cheng and Luo Fei talking together, she felt uneasy.


    Perhaps it was because Luo Fei¡¯s tone of voice was too cold, and he had compromised too quickly to her unreasonable retorts and explanations; Ye Xin felt extremely guilty!


    She was a little afraid that Luo Fei and Lei Cheng were standing together. What if Luo Fei embellished the story and framed her? What if Luo Fei bore a grudge and deliberately tattletale to Lei Cheng?


    Lei Cheng would be more willing to trust the soldiers under him. Then how could she, an isolated and helpless student, fight against them?


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t dare to think too deeply about it, but her feet involuntarily moved in their direction. She hid behind the tent in the campsite, wanting to hear what Luo Fei and Lei Cheng were talking about.


    She couldn¡¯t bow down to a useless Zhuang Jie. She didn¡¯t want to leave Saint Capital University just like that!

 Chapter 382 - 382 Chapter 382. Ye Xin Eavesdropping

    382 Chapter 382. Ye Xin Eavesdropping


    She needed the acceptance letter from Saint Capital University. She needed to become a student at this famous school. This was just the first step for her to inherit the Ye family¡¯s company in the future successfully!


    She couldn¡¯t let this plan come to a premature end here.


    Ye Xin¡¯s eyes flashed with ruthlessness as her mind was in chaos.


    Ye Xin slowly approached Luo Fei and Lei Cheng. She hid behind a tent and listened to Luo Fei¡¯s report to Lei Cheng with her back lowered.


    ¡°Ye Xin is partly responsible for Zhuang Jie¡¯s serious injuries. She shouldn¡¯t have done that. It made people¡¯s hearts turn cold! This student¡¯s character is problematic. I don¡¯t think I can teach her!¡± Luo Fei told Lei Cheng all the details of what had happened from beginning to end. Ultimately, he did not forget to include some of his views.


    He looked at the silent Lei Cheng and added, ¡°For the sake of our team¡¯s future military training, I think we should transfer Ye Xin to another team! I don¡¯t want to encounter her scheming and evil ideas anymore! She thought I didn¡¯t know what she¡¯s been doing, but I¡¯d turned a blind eye to it!


    I was indeed careless when she and Zhuang Jie isolated An Ye. I shouldn¡¯t have underestimated her schemes and calculations. Even if some people have the face of an angel, beneath this mask, they are just a natural bad seed!¡±


    Lei Cheng listened to Luo Fei¡¯s report and looked at him in surprise.


    Lei Cheng was not very smart, but he was honest enough. He looked into Luo Fei¡¯s eyes and asked, ¡°You weren¡¯t such an impulsive person in the past. Why do you dislike a female student so much this time? You¡¯re not someone who doesn¡¯t know your limits!¡±


    Seeing that Luo Fei was silent, Lei Cheng asked again, ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that the reason why Zhuang Jie is so unlucky has something to do with Ye Xin, right? Or rather, Ye Xin was the one who facilitated it?¡±


    Lei Cheng¡¯s suspicions and guesses were like a heavy hammer that struck Ye Xin¡¯s heart. Her breathing became heavy, and she felt nervous for no reason.


    If Lei Cheng¡¯s guess was just a guess, then Luo Fei¡¯s subsequent silence indirectly confirmed this guess. Ye Xin could no longer hold her ground and slowly softened!


    However, she did not know Lei Cheng and Luo Fei¡¯s hearing was as sharp and unique as professional soldiers. She had only moved her feet a little, and Lei Cheng had immediately caught the sound.


    Lei Cheng turned his head and shouted sternly, ¡°Who¡¯s there? Come out!¡±


    Luo Fei also turned around at the same time and looked in that direction.


    At that moment, Ye Xin finally understood what it felt like to ride a tiger and found it hard to back down. She gritted her teeth, and her mind raced as she secretly made a decision.


    ¡°Still not coming out? Then I¡¯m going to shoot!¡±


    As Lei Cheng spoke, he raised his hand and pulled out a pistol from his waist. He raised his hands and held them in front of his chest.


    Luo Fei glanced at Ye Xin¡¯s foot, which had slipped out from behind the tent amid her panic. He realized that it was a student. As for who it was, he could already guess!


    ¡°Ye Xin! What are you hiding behind there for? Are you trying to eavesdrop on our conversation? Hurry up and get out here!¡± As Luo Fei spoke, he exchanged a look with Lei Cheng and continued to criticize, ¡°Do you know what kind of crime it is to eavesdrop on an officer? We can directly judge you as a spy and shoot you, you know?¡±


    After hearing Lei Cheng and Luo Fei¡¯s threatening words, Ye Xin held onto the tent¡¯s support, unable to stand. After taking a few deep breaths, she walked out from the back of the tent.


    She gulped silently, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised into a smile. She looked at Luo Fei with eyes full of doubt and faint sarcasm. ¡°Is that so? Then Squad monitor, kill me directly! Anyway, I have no innocence to speak of in your place! You¡¯ve already determined that I¡¯m a bad person, so it doesn¡¯t seem too much to pin any crime on me!¡±

 Chapter 383 - 383 Chapter 383. Luo Feis Loathing

    383 Chapter 383. Luo Fei¡¯s Loathing


    As Ye Xin spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lei Cheng, who was beside Luo Fei. She sneered and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re so close to Chief Instructor Lei, he won¡¯t believe anything I say. You guys ganged up to bully me, a student! Hmph! Instructor Lei, why don¡¯t you shoot me? Let me be the first vengeful spirit under your gun. You won¡¯t listen to my explanation anyway!¡±


    Lei Cheng looked at the aggressive and eloquent girl in front of him. He turned his head to look at Luo Fei and put down the gun in his hand, feeling a little funny.


    He straightened his back. Then asked Ye Xin, ¡°Your posture of the villain complaining first is quite original! You¡¯re saying that we¡¯re pinning a crime on you? Alright! Then tell us, when did we confirm that you were guilty? What crime have you committed? Did he and I ever say that you were the one who injured Zhuang Jie? Are you the culprit just because we told you?¡±


    Seeing Ye Xin¡¯s expression freeze slightly, Lei Cheng laughed lightly, ¡°No wonder Luo Fei hates you so much. So this is one of the reasons!¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by that? Don¡¯t tell me that I have to obediently follow your orders when discussing how to deal with me and how to kick me out of the University. Can¡¯t I defend myself?


    Zhuang Jie¡¯s injury had nothing to do with me! I didn¡¯t make her fall, nor didn¡¯t make her nose hit those stones! This matter has nothing to do with me from the beginning to the end. I¡¯m innocent!¡± Ye Xin looked at Lei Cheng¡¯s face and the sneer he was giving her. Her eyes reddened as she retorted with excitement.


    This was the first time Ye Xin felt like she¡¯d been misunderstood and wronged by someone. She had no way of explaining herself, and no one trusted her!


    Ye Xin suppressed her grievances and sadness in her heart. She lost her composure and shouted at Lei Cheng, ¡°I didn¡¯t do this; I didn¡¯t want to harm Zhuang Jie! At most, I didn¡¯t react in time or reach out to save her. Do you want to convict me of a crime? On what basis? Why don¡¯t you guys believe me? What can I do to make you believe me?¡±


    Luo Fei furrowed his brows and glared at Ye Xin coldly. ¡°Since you think you¡¯re innocent! Then, why were you so eager to absolve yourself when I asked you those questions? I never said that Zhuang Jie¡¯s injury was caused by you alone. I¡¯m just very disappointed and heartbroken at your selfishness and coldness. This is even scarier than being honest! You¡¯re still young; where did you learn to be deep-minded?


    Actions come from the heart! You eavesdropped on our conversation just now because you think I¡¯m the same as you, a wholly heartless and irresponsible person! You judge with your petty heart that I will report to Instructor Lei and deliberately distort the facts to slander you! Isn¡¯t that right?¡±


    Ye Xin didn¡¯t expect her thoughts to be read so thoroughly by Luo Fei. It was as if all her little tricks had been exposed before him!


    Seeing Ye Xin¡¯s frozen expression, Luo Fei had already gotten his desired answer.


    He turned around and looked at Lei Cheng, ¡°Everything I said just now is true. I didn¡¯t slander Ye Xin in any way! At that time, she took the initiative to. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t react in time; she just wanted to see Zhuang Jie fall on purpose! She probably didn¡¯t think of it and panicked, so she started making things up!


    She is smart but has never used it on the right path! She has an evil heart and a stomach full of bad ideas. I don¡¯t want to let her continue to harm the other students on my team! Chief Instructor Lei, you can do whatever you want with her. I hope I won¡¯t see her again during the military training.¡±


    Luo Fei seemed to hate Ye Xin as he looked straight into Lei Cheng¡¯s eyes and seriously said this.


    Lei Cheng and the others were here on Li Zhen¡¯s orders to train the students of the University. From a particular perspective, this military training mission was a lot of obligation.


    This way, in the entire process of military training, the personal wishes of the soldiers and team leaders should be valued!

 Chapter 384 - 384 Chapter 384. Punishment

    384 Chapter 384. Punishment


    Of course, Luo Fei¡¯s wish should be taken seriously. Lei Cheng let out a heavy sigh of relief. He thought he could not let these soldiers suffer all the hardships and difficulties and not put himself in their shoes.


    That would be too unkind.


    After a moment of silence, Lei Cheng looked up at Luo Fei, patted his shoulder, and said, ¡°Alright! I understand what you mean. Leave the rest to me.¡±


    Luo Fei glanced at Lei Cheng and nodded. ¡°Yes, Captain! I still have things to do, so I¡¯ll go now. I¡¯ll bring my teammates to report to you later.¡±


    ¡°Yes, go ahead.¡± Lei Cheng said.


    When Ye Xin saw that Luo Fei had abandoned her, she looked at his back in shock. She didn¡¯t say anything because she knew she no longer had any character or trust in him.


    Perhaps in Luo Fei¡¯s eyes, she was already a piece of trash with no merit.


    Lei Cheng glanced at Ye Xin and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care if you did it on purpose or not, but you won¡¯t be able to go back to Luo Fei¡¯s Team A. I¡¯ll report this matter to your school. It would be best if you stayed in this camp for the time being. I¡¯ll arrange your place by tonight at the latest.¡±


    Lei Cheng didn¡¯t get into trouble with Ye Xin and did his job correctly.


    Just as Luo Fei had said, Ye Xin¡¯s character was questionable. However, he couldn¡¯t just blame Zhuang Jie¡¯s injury on her. It was unreasonable.


    However, Ye Xin wasn¡¯t innocent. The military didn¡¯t have the right to punish students. It was better to let the people from the University clean up Ye Xin¡¯s mess themselves! Lei Cheng did not want to interfere too much.


    Most importantly, he was not like Luo Fei, who had invested so much energy and genuine love into the entire Team A.


    Lei Cheng naturally knew this was one of the main reasons why Luo Fei hated Ye Xin so much. Using the phrase ¡®the deeper the love, the more the blame¡¯ didn¡¯t seem to make sense, but there was nothing more appropriate than this.


    The sun slowly set in the west, and when the afterglow scattered on the forest of Blue Eagle Mountain, the group of students from Team A, who had been out for an entire afternoon, finally walked back to the camp and met their squad monitor.


    Luo Fei stood at the front of the campsite and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhuang Xian had brought back all the students from Team A.


    When they were all in front of him, he looked at Zhuang Xian with admiration and then at the other students in the class. ¡°How did the afternoon practice go? I¡¯m going to do a spot check before dinner! The Chief Instructor will also be here today, and he¡¯ll check the results of your military training after dinner! Whoever embarrasses me later, I¡¯ll make him wash everyone¡¯s lunchboxes tomorrow!¡±


    As soon as Luo Fei finished speaking, the crowd began to whisper. Everyone mumbled softly that the Squad monitor¡¯s move was too ruthless! How long would it take for one person to wash so many lunchboxes? Wasn¡¯t he making things difficult for them?


    That¡¯s right! When had these young masters and ladies who had been pampered at home ever suffered like this?


    The past few days of military training were enough for them to reminisce about for the rest of their lives. It was already painful enough to wash their lunchboxes, not to mention cleaning the lunch boxes for the entire class!


    Zhuang Xian looked at the worried-looking students behind her and shook her head in amusement.


    She didn¡¯t feel anything special about Lei Cheng¡¯s sudden visit. The only thing she was curious about was Zhuang Jie¡¯s situation and Ye Xin¡¯s situation.


    Fortunately, Zhang Yang and Li Qin were around, so she did not have to ask Luo Fei about it. This was because these two big-mouthed gossipmongers would never be able to hold back from asking about it.


    The daily life of military training was tiresome enough. There were not many things that could interest them. Everyone couldn¡¯t give up.


    Of course, everyone in the class was curious about what would happen next. They wanted to know if Zhuang Jie¡¯s nose was broken.

 Chapter 385 - 385 Chapter 385. If I Can Cry

    385 Chapter 385. If I Can Cry


    ¡°Squad monitor! How¡¯s Zhuang Jie doing? I heard from the teammate who sent us the news that Zhuang Jie¡¯s nose was broken. My God, this is too tragic!¡± Zhang Yang was the first to say.


    Seeing that the squad monitor only turned his head and looked at him indifferently without answering the question, Zhang Yang laughed and touched the back of his head. He continued to speak honestly, ¡°I¡¯m just a little curious, nothing else! Zhuang Jie was unlucky today. Is she still in the camp? Or did you already send her to the hospital?¡±


    Nothing could be seen on Luo Fei¡¯s calm and peaceful face, but his eyes were so cold that it was a little freezing.


    Zhang Yang trembled and finally stopped talking. He lowered his head.


    ¡°Squad monitor! Why did Zhuang Jie suddenly faint? Wasn¡¯t she full of energy this morning and even had a good time scolding people? I¡¯ve never seen such a shameless person before!¡± Li Qin added promptly.


    His eyes were filled with anger and curiosity when he looked at Luo Fei.


    After Luo Fei heard Li Qin¡¯s words, he was a little puzzled and asked, ¡°When did she cause trouble again? Did something happen that I don¡¯t know about?¡±


    Li Qin seemed to have thought of something. He snorted coldly and explained to Luo Fei, ¡°Just this morning. Didn¡¯t the Vice squad monitor say a few words to you after she woke up? After she finished, she went to help out with squad leader Ma and made breakfast for us.


    Zhuang Jie saw it, so when everyone was busy having breakfast this morning, she stood beside the students and criticized our vice squad monitor strangely. She said she was terrible here and there and even said that the Vice squad monitor was good at flattering you and squad monitor Ma. Many of the students who were present at the time heard it.


    Ha! And the result? She still ate the breakfast made by the Vice squad monitor shamelessly. This kind of person who scolds others and takes advantage of others, if she isn¡¯t shameless, what is she? If she had some ambition and ability and didn¡¯t eat the food, I would have looked up to her a little more! Now? Hmph!¡± As Li Qin spoke, he felt somewhat speechless and indignantly complained on Zhuang Xian¡¯s behalf.


    As the saying goes, ¡®only crying children get milk to drink¡¯. Their sister Xian didn¡¯t usually talk much, but he still had to complain. Otherwise, people would think that she should continue to suffer in silence.


    Since Zhuang Xian did not want to say anything, he could only do it himself! Li Qin thought this way.


    After listening to Li Qin recounting what had happened in the morning, Luo Fei¡¯s expression darkened. He thought, ¡± Zhuang Jie isn¡¯t a good person either.¡± Luo Fei had always been aware of her and Ye Xin¡¯s repeated provocations and slandering of Zhuang Xian!


    After what had happened today, it could only be said that their evil had its retribution.


    As Luo Fei thought about this, he sighed to himself. He turned to Zhuang Xian and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you report this to me? I would have taught them a good lesson if I had known!¡±


    Zhuang Xian seemed to have just realized that Luo Fei was talking to her. She slowly shook her head and explained with a smile, ¡°I don¡¯t know about what Li Qin said. I didn¡¯t hear Zhuang Jie scolding me this morning.¡±


    ¡°She mumbled softly at that time, so only a few students heard it. Vice squad monitor, you were far away, so you might not have heard it.¡± Lin Feng added.


    He glanced at Zhuang Xian before turning back to Luo Fei. ¡°Zhuang Jie, Ye Xin, and An Ye, who¡¯s already left Blue Eagle Mountain, have always been against the Vice squad monitor. During the process of military training, they had been playing tricks constantly, but the Vice squad monitor didn¡¯t want to play tricks with them! Squad monitor, you should take care of this matter.¡±


    When Luo Fei heard this, he nodded his head heavily. He looked at the Team A students in line and sighed without changing his expression. ¡°Things like today can indeed be avoided!¡±

 Chapter 386 - 386 Chapter 386. Luo Feis Admonition

    386 Chapter 386. Luo Fei¡¯s Admonition


    ¡°Whether it¡¯s a classmate who fell and got injured or this kind of thing that happens without any reason, attacking one¡¯s teammate can be avoided. Zhuang Jie¡¯s method of scolding and organizing small groups to bully other students was very undesirable! I don¡¯t want such a thing to happen again in our team!¡±


    Luo Fei¡¯s brows were furrowed as he spoke as if he had something on his mind. ¡°I know it¡¯s not easy for you all to come this far, but you must keep going. One factor determining whether you can make it to the end is the support and love between teammates!


    On this mountain, you should be comrades holding hands. After you leave this mountain, you will still be schoolmates. So no matter what, you should help, be united, and love each other. This is what I have always taught you!¡±


    Luo Fei sighed as he looked at the young and innocent faces and continued, ¡°As for Zhuang Jie¡¯s condition, I¡¯m not too sure. The wound on her face was severe, and she had been sent to the hospital. It would probably be tough for her to come back. As for Ye Xin, due to some special reasons, she¡¯d be transferred to another team in the future and be under another squad monitor¡¯s supervision. There are 47 people on our team now. I hope no one else will leave!


    You¡¯ve already gotten through the most challenging stage. You¡¯re a bit too weak if you guys can¡¯t hold on any longer! When the military training is over, don¡¯t tell the people outside that I¡¯m the one who brought you out! I find it embarrassing!¡±


    Her heart began to stir as Zhuang Xian listened to the squad monitor¡¯s lecture. She had not expected to deal with Ye Xin while with Zhuang Jie. This was a pleasant surprise!


    She raised her eyes and looked at Luo Fei strangely and curiously. She opened her mouth to ask something but was interrupted by Li Qin.


    Li Qin looked at Luo Fei with a cheeky smile. He raised his eyebrows and teased, ¡°That won¡¯t do! You¡¯ve been our squad monitor for a day, so you¡¯ll always be our squad monitor. You can¡¯t deny it!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned around to look at the people behind him and asked loudly, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t you agree?¡±


    With Li Qin¡¯s interruption and leading, the students of Team A began to laugh cheekily one by one. The noise from the crowd softened Luo Fei¡¯s heart, and the smile on his face also melted.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Squad monitor. Team A monitor for a day, and squad monitor for life, don¡¯t you understand that? You can¡¯t run! Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°Thanks to your ¡®considerate training,¡¯ we¡¯ve persisted until today!¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your meticulous way of leading the troops and that devilish training pace, I wouldn¡¯t have realized that I¡¯m such a tenacious person who can endure hardships. I¡¯ve been a young master for almost 20 years, and this is the first time I¡¯ve realized that I¡¯m such a useful person! If my dad knew how I clenched my teeth and persevered these few days, he would probably perform what is meant to cry tears of joy on the spot! Hahaha! Alright, collect! I didn¡¯t mean to stir up emotions; please forgive me!¡±


    The boy¡¯s face, which had been fair and clean a few days ago, had turned dark and was covered in sweat.


    His eyes were a little red, but he still stubbornly raised his face and smiled cheerfully. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m quite grateful to you! At least I feel that you¡¯ve made me a person who¡¯s not completely useless! I want to thank you! I think the school¡¯s military training this time is quite interesting! But I don¡¯t want to do it in the future!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter. Many people¡¯s faces were covered in sweat, and their skin was red or peeled from the sun over the past few days. However, they were in a much better state than when they had just come out to school! They seemed to have become more cheerful and pure!


    Luo Fei was not the only one who saw this group of children. Zhuang Xian also saw the unique sunshine and the vitality of their unbridled growth at this age.


    She did not know when the corners of her mouth started to curl slightly. Perhaps it was after Li Qin had finished Luo Fei¡¯s sentence with a cheeky smile on his face!

 Chapter 387 - 387 Chapter 387. Pheasant? Wild Boar!

    387 Chapter 387. Pheasant? Wild Boar!


    Or perhaps it was because the boy said he was useless but thanked Luo Fei with red eyes. He seemed to have grown up a lot in the past few days.


    Perhaps everyone would be influenced by an excellent natural environment in this world. They were just used to being pampered. When someone forces them out of their comfort zone, they can grow up freely and well.


    This might be the vitality of life, the vitality of youth. Zhuang Xian thought to herself.


    In reality, Luo Fei had spoken so much to them because he was reflecting on the incident with Ye Xin and Zhuang Jie. He hoped that through his hard work and influence, he could change some things and make his teammates better. At the very least, they had to become kind and friendly people!


    Luo Fei was touched when he saw his teammates¡¯ happy and relieved expressions. He suddenly felt that this group of children seemed to be a little cute.


    However, the feeling slowly faded when he saw what the students were holding in their hands.


    Luo Fei dangerously squinted his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed at the back of the crowd. There was a student who was holding a wild chicken and talking happily. ¡°What¡¯s that thing in your hand? Get over here! And you want to give it to someone else? Do you think I¡¯m blind? Come over here!¡±


    As expected, extreme joy begets sorrow!


    The boy held the prey in his hand and slowly walked toward Luo Fei. He looked at the squad monitor with a fawning smile on his face. ¡°Squad monitor! Look at this pheasant I¡¯ve beaten up; isn¡¯t it fat? Let¡¯s ask squad leader Ma to help us roast it later! The pheasant meat is delicious!¡±


    Looking at the student smiling and flattering him, Luo Fei did not adjust his expression to respond.


    Therefore, when Zhuang Xian saw the strange expression on Luo Fei¡¯s face, she held back her laughter, cleared her throat, and explained, ¡°Squad monitor, I was the one who came up with the idea of hunting the pheasants! I found a pheasant¡¯s nest on the mountainside when we were on the mountain this morning. This season is the time when the mountain is full of food. The pheasant is eaten well, and the meat on its body is more firm and delicious.¡±


    Seeing that Luo Fei¡¯s expression was getting weirder, Zhuang Xian inexplicably felt a little guilty. She lowered her voice and explained, ¡°I thought we¡¯ve all been training hard recently. It would be a waste not to use the resources in the mountains. I¡¯ll get some back to replenish our strength. The key is that we¡¯re all hungry!¡±


    ¡°Yes, class president! You don¡¯t know yet, but our vice squad monitor has great cooking skills. Later at night, let her show off her skills to our teammates! Helping everyone to satisfy their cravings will also help to stimulate everyone¡¯s passion for future training, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Li Qin added a very flattering smile on his face at the right time.


    Zhang Yang and Lin Feng, standing behind Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, were looking at Luo Fei cautiously.


    Luo Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the anticipation and desire in their eyes. He helplessly raised his hand to his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, ¡°A few pheasants are fine, but what¡¯s with that wild boar? If I don¡¯t say it, do you think I¡¯m blind? Why are we killing pigs also? Who did this? Take the initiative and come forward! Although this kind of wild boar is not rare, they are too bold! You guys!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her hands and smiled guiltily at Luo Fei. Her beautiful face was like a blooming flower. ¡°Squad monitor! I was the one who killed the wild boar. I¡¯ve seen people kill pigs before, so leave it to me! Just pretend you didn¡¯t see it and wait to eat! Will that do?¡±


    Luo Fei looked at Zhuang Xian and was stunned for a moment. After a few breaths, he patted his head helplessly and said dejectedly, ¡°Get back to the camp; I didn¡¯t see anything!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, the smile on her face widened. She looked at Luo Fei, standing in front of them and holding his forehead for the second time in a short period. She smiled and said softly, ¡°Thank you.¡±

 Chapter 388 - 388 Chapter 388. A Perfect Match

    388 Chapter 388. A Perfect Match


    Zhuang Xian raised her hand and snapped her fingers at her teammates, standing behind her with prey still hanging from their bodies, indicating for them to leave.


    Li Qin and Zhang Yang took the lead, as if they were afraid that Luo Fei would regret his decision, and led everyone back to the camp.


    All of a sudden, Luo Fei felt as if there was a strong wind blowing past him.


    He smelled the faint blood in the air and turned around speechlessly, pretending he couldn¡¯t see the last few tall boys dragging a 200-pound wild boar.


    He had already grown tall, but why was it so difficult to do things? Luo Fei thought to himself helplessly. He was completely unaware that this group of children had assimilated him.


    Lei Cheng was sitting in Luo Fei¡¯s tent, reading the work records of Luo Fei. He listened to the noise from outside and pricked his ears in doubt.


    It was already past six O ¡®clock in the evening. The students at the military training on Blue Eagle Mountain had finally gotten through a tough day and were beginning to enjoy their favorite dinner.


    Because at this time, squad leader Ma would always be very generous, using his best craftsmanship to make delicious dinner for these students who had been training hard.


    Of course, with the addition of Zhuang Xian and the pheasant and wild boar meat brought by the Team A students, tonight¡¯s dinner would only be more sumptuous and lovely to look forward to.


    Li Qin felt that it had been a long since he had eaten a feast prepared by his sister Xian. As he watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s busy figure, he gulped silently, his eyes filled with anticipation.


    Zhang Yang and Lin Feng were sitting beside him, looking at Li Qin¡¯s look of anticipation; they could not help but feel excited.


    Zhang Yang looked at Li Qin and asked curiously, ¡°Is sister Xian¡¯s cooking that good? Why do I feel like Brother Qin is already drooling?¡±


    Lin Feng shifted his gaze away from Zhuang Xian and turned to look at Li Qin beside him. He was also curious.


    ¡°She¡¯s Zhuang Xian! Do you know how good her cooking is? I¡¯ll put it this way; I guarantee you¡¯ll want to swallow your tongue with it later! It¡¯s worth the wait anyway!¡± As Li Qin spoke, he felt he was at a loss for words. Fortunately, he only said that it was worth waiting for,


    Zhang Yang and Lin Feng naturally trusted Li Qin, so they looked at Zhuang Xian with even more passion.


    Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian, wearing an apron and working very efficiently, and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t we need to go up and help? Isn¡¯t it a little inappropriate to let her be busy alone?¡±


    He stood up from the ground as he spoke and walked towards Zhuang Xian. I¡¯ll go and help her.


    Li Qin looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression. He could not understand why this person was so quick to make a move.


    If Zhuang Xian had allowed useless kittens like him to get close to her while she was cooking, he would have rushed up to help her. But the main thing was that Zhuang Xian usually did not allow anyone to interfere when she was cooking.


    However, the next second, he watched as sister Xian commanded Lin Feng to mince the meat. He was even more confused. What was going on?


    However, Li Qin suddenly had an idea when he saw Zhuang Xian and Lin Feng together. The two of them looked rather pleasing to the eye.


    Lin Feng was a kind of handsome boy who was very bright, cheerful, and especially good at sports. His character was also very gentle and considerate. He was the type who would be the most popular with girls in any school.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t I notice that Lin Feng was so handsome a few days ago? ¡± Li Qin said softly, turning his head to look at Zhang Yang, standing beside him. His eyes revealed a sly look, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t you think Lin Feng and sister Xian look quite compatible when they stand together? ¡±


    When Zhang Yang heard Li Qin¡¯s words, he turned around and looked at Li Qin in surprise. He slightly pursed his lips and asked in confusion, ¡°Brother Qin, are you saying that Lin Feng and sister Xian look very compatible?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did I not speak clearly? Or do you have a problem with your hearing?¡± Li Qin asked in return.

 Chapter 389 - 389 Chapter 389. Lets Bet Then

    389 Chapter 389. Let¡¯s Bet Then


    Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment. Then, he raised his voice and asked, ¡°So, Brother Qin, you don¡¯t like sister Xian? You and sister Xian aren¡¯t a couple?¡±


    Li Qin, ¡°¡­¡±


    The last time he had been so speechless was when Zhuang Jie slandered Zhuang Xian this morning.


    Looking at Li Qin¡¯s speechless and disdainful expression, Zhang Yang finally understood what was happening. His face immediately showed a very honest and sincere smile, ¡°That¡¯s great!¡±


    When Li Qin heard Zhang Yang¡¯s words, the disdain on his face slowly turned into doubt and confusion, ¡°What¡¯s so great about it? Why do your words and reactions sound so strange? What¡¯s the matter with you?¡±


    The smile on Zhang Yang¡¯s face could not be concealed. He moved closer to Li Qin and softly said, ¡°Lin Feng likes sister Xian! We thought you liked sister Xian, but Lin Feng has always liked her. Now that you¡¯ve said you¡¯re not in a relationship with sister Xian, doesn¡¯t that mean my brother has a chance? That¡¯s why I¡¯m happy! Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier? You¡¯ve made Lin Feng suffer for nothing!¡±


    As Zhang Yang was talking, he suddenly laughed and complained about Li Qin. He even started to attack Li Qin.


    Li Qin looked at Zhang Yang, who suddenly raised his hand and patted his hand. He felt a little speechless.


    Li Qin returned the slap to Zhang Yang¡¯s face and looked at Zhang Yang, holding his forehead and crying in pain. Li Qin nodded in satisfaction and did not forget to say, ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to talk, you can talk less. If you talk nonsense again, I¡¯ll beat you up!¡±


    Zhang Yang was very discreet and held his head, smiling at Li Qin.


    ¡°I¡¯m best friends with Zhuang Xian! We are also the most intimate, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough! When did we say we were a couple? Lin Feng is usually smart; can¡¯t he see through this?¡± Li Qin coughed and explained.


    Thinking about these two people acting stupid for no reason, Li Qin felt helpless and amused. ¡°He can¡¯t even understand this little thing. He deserves to be unhappy these few days! You¡¯ll die of stupidity! And what did you say? ¡®Why didn¡¯t I tell you earlier?¡¯ How the f*ck will I know that Lin Feng liked sister Xian? But looking at his cowardice, even without me, I don¡¯t think he would have the guts to confess to sister Xian. Do you want to bet?¡±


    Zhang Yang seemed to have understood Li Qin¡¯s words, but there were still some parts that he did not understand. He looked at Li Qin with a puzzled look and frowned, ¡± Brother Qin! You said you and sister Xian are siblings, so why do you call her sister Xian? Your relationship messes me up.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s why I said you¡¯re stupid? You can¡¯t even understand this! That¡¯s just a form of respect for her, do you understand? Between Zhuang Xian and me, we have our own opinions! She¡¯s my sister Xian by name, but I¡¯m her brother. Do you understand?¡± Li Qin explained seriously.


    He thought that since Zhang Yang would not run up to his sister Xian and tell her about it, he might as well fulfill his dream of being a big brother.


    Zhang Yang nodded his head to show that he understood. He nudged Li Qin with his shoulder and said, ¡°Brother Qin, I¡¯ll bet with you! What do you want to bet on?¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Yang¡¯s words. He laughed and said, ¡°Not bad, young man! Are you that confident in your friends?¡±


    As Li Qin spoke, he raised his hand and patted Zhang Yang¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Then let¡¯s bet! As for the bet, we¡¯ll think about it later. Is that okay?¡±


    ¡°Qin ¡®er, I can¡¯t think of anything to bet with you right now. When Lin Feng confesses to sister Xian, I¡¯ll come to you for the bet!¡±


    When Li Qin heard Zhang Yang¡¯s words, he laughed disdainfully. ¡°You sure are confident! Now you want my bet? I¡¯m telling you, that might not be the case! Sister Xian isn¡¯t that easy to get close to. Although I don¡¯t want to dampen Lin Feng¡¯s enthusiasm, to be honest, sister Xian isn¡¯t that easy to woo. Lin Feng, you¡¯re on your own!¡±

 Chapter 390 - 390 Chapter 390. Famous Rich Mans Husband

    390 Chapter 390. Famous Rich Man¡¯s Husband


    In the Blue Eagle Mountain campsite, other than Ye Xin, who was still sulking, almost everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of a happy dinner. The faces of this group of young people were filled with easily satisfied happiness.


    City H, Grand Emperor Hotel.


    Mo Xi, who had been standing guard beside Mo Qian and had already helped him block several waves of unimportant greetings, turned to look at Mo Qian when he saw their target for the night. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Young master, Ye Zheng is here.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian tidied his sleeves indifferently and said without raising his head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯ll be here soon.¡±


    As he spoke, he picked up the Western desserts from an exquisite plate on the table. After taking a bite, he ordered some more. From his expression, he seemed to think it was not bad.


    The host of this party was a wealthy businessman in City H. If one were to ask him what could make him the happiest tonight, it would naturally be Mo Qian of the Mo Corporation.


    What kind of person was Mo Qian?


    He was the most famous and influential superstar among the younger generation of businessmen in City H! He was a legendary figure that many would never see in their lives!


    Mo Qian¡¯s attendance today had given him a lot of face!


    Seeing that Mo Qian seemed to like the snacks on the table, he walked over with a smile. With a glass of red wine in his hand, he looked at Mo Qian with a warm smile, ¡°Boss Mo, you have a good eye! My madam had to queue for half a month to buy these desserts from the Lan Wei Western restaurant! Even though their products are hard to buy, they¡¯re perfect. My madam and daughter like them a lot!¡±


    As he spoke, he gestured to the girl standing not far away and looking over. He smiled, ¡°This is my daughter, Ding Dang. She and President Mo met once at the reception for the opening sale of the Imperial Group¡¯s properties! Hahaha!¡±


    Mo Qian did not have much of an impression of this Ding Dang, but that did not stop him from nodding at her. He was very polite and gentlemanly but also very distant and indifferent. ¡°Hello, Miss Ding.¡±


    Ding Dang didn¡¯t seem to notice Mo Qian¡¯s indifference. She only felt Mo Qian had taken the initiative to greet her, and her heart was beating a few beats faster.


    She blushed slightly and said gently, ¡°Hello, Mr. Mo! Thank you for coming to our family¡¯s party today. If you need any help, you can tell me.¡±


    Mo Qian laughed lightly and replied softly, ¡°Alright, thank you.¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Chairman Ding and continued the previous topic. ¡°Lan Wei¡¯s macarons are the best. You have to try it when you visit their shop in the future. I believe you¡¯ll like it.¡±


    Ding Dang¡¯s father naturally didn¡¯t understand these snacks. In his eyes, only a little girl like Ding Dang would like these snacks. He was a little surprised at the person in front of him, the head of the Mo family, Mr. Mo Qian, who also liked these snacks. However, he didn¡¯t dare to express it directly.


    Hearing Mo Qian¡¯s words, he subconsciously replied, ¡°Thank you for your recommendation, Boss Mo. I¡¯ll go if I have the chance in the future! However, our Ding Dang goes there often, so she should be able to chat with you, President Mo.¡±


    As he spoke, he nudged his daughter beside him, thinking that this child was still not very sensible. There were few opportunities to communicate with Mo Qian at such a close distance. He did not know when to wait to see this ¡®golden Buddha¡¯ again.


    The current situation and atmosphere were so good his daughter had to work harder!


    It would be best if he could use this opportunity to leave a deep impression on Ding Dang in front of Mo Qian. As for what would happen after this, it would be up to him to plan.


    After all, a rich man¡¯s son-in-law at Mo Qian¡¯s level was hard to come by.


    Mo Xi looked at his young master, who seemed to be ignoring her, then looked and sized Ding Dang up. He subconsciously compared her with Zhuang Xian.


    She wasn¡¯t as good-looking as Zhuang Xian, nor was she as tall as her, and her personality was shy and difficult to let go of.

 Chapter 391 - 391 Chapter 391. Father-in-Law Saves me From Embarrassment

    391 Chapter 391. ¡®Father-in-Law¡¯ Saves me From Embarrassment


    It was enough for Ding Dang to be a wealthy lady from a small family, but she was still far from being the young Madam of the Mo family. She couldn¡¯t even be compared to Lan Ling.


    Mo Xi thought about this in his heart and slowly lowered his head. It wasn¡¯t that he looked down on Ding Dang and felt that Ding Dang wasn¡¯t good enough for his young master. He was comparing the two of them.


    From the looks of it, Zhuang Xian was still the most suitable match for their young master!


    Ding dang naturally understood her father¡¯s meaning. She looked at Mo Qian, sitting in a wheelchair, and blushed. She only felt Mo Qian was more imposing than the average young master of an aristocratic family, even though he was sitting there without moving. Mo Qian was indeed Mo Qian.


    There was a hint of shyness in her eyes. She looked at Mo Qian and was about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice from behind.


    ¡°Mo Qian? I feel like I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. Where have you been recently?¡± Zhuang Ming held a glass of orange juice in his hand as he spoke to Mo Qian through the people surrounding him.


    Mo Qian quickly raised his head and looked at Zhuang Ming, who was behind Ding Dang. He smiled and said, ¡°Uncle Zhuang, you¡¯re here too? Why didn¡¯t I see you when I came in? Are you the only one here?¡±


    Zhuang Ming sized up the people surrounding Mo Qian without making a sound and said with a smile, ¡°I just arrived not long ago. Normally, you didn¡¯t see me. I came alone. Don¡¯t you know that Xian ¡®er has been attending military training at school? Her second and third brothers aren¡¯t home, so all the company business naturally fell to me!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned back to look at Mr. Ding and greeted him with a smile, ¡°Chairman Ding, you¡¯ve organized an excellent reception today. Thank you for your hard work!¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at Chairman Ding, but he didn¡¯t say anything. He just smiled and turned the ring in his hand.


    ¡°As long as CEO Zhuang likes it, it¡¯s no trouble! Please forgive me for my poor hospitality!¡± When Chairman Ding saw how close Zhuang Ming and Mo Qian were, something slowly flashed across his mind as he spoke courteously.


    Zhuang Ming was a sly old fox in the business circle. Naturally, he could do this kind of polite thing very well. He casually chatted with Chairman Ding for a while, then found an excuse to take Mo Qian away from them.


    Zhuang Ming did not show it on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that Mo Qian was the future husband Lin En had chosen for Zhuang Xian. How could he let other people think about him for no reason? This won¡¯t work!


    Therefore, when he entered the door and saw the father and daughter of the Ding family pestering Mo Qian, he immediately stepped forward without hesitation and offered to save their family¡¯s future rich husband.


    Mo Qian followed behind Zhuang Ming and moved to a relatively quiet corner. He raised his head slightly to look at Zhuang Ming and said with a smile, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Zhuang. If you didn¡¯t come to my rescue in time, I wouldn¡¯t know how to escape this situation.¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Mo Qian and laughed heartily. ¡°You¡¯re spouting nonsense! If you¡¯re entangled by those two, you¡¯re not Mo Qian! Alright, don¡¯t be too polite in front of me; it sounds distant!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Qian¡¯s only assistant, Mo Xi, and continued, ¡°Why did you suddenly start attending such parties? Do you have any cooperation with the Ding family?¡±


    Mo Xi nodded respectfully at Zhuang Ming, but in his heart, he was mocking his young master.


    Just as Mr. Zhuang had said, the father and daughter of the Ding family naturally could not pester their young master. Their young master was deliberately showing his weakness to Zhuang Ming!


    As for a reason for doing this, Mo Xi couldn¡¯t think of one for the time being. Anyway, his young master had a purpose in doing things.


    Naturally, Mo Qian had no way of knowing Mo Xi¡¯s thoughts. He only looked at Zhuang Ming and replied gently, ¡°It¡¯s not that I have any cooperation with the Ding clan; I¡¯m here for other matters.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Ming seemed to come to his senses. He looked at Mo Qian and asked worriedly, ¡°Could it be because of the An family causing trouble at your company¡¯s entrance yesterday? You¡¯ve got a clue so quickly? I also feel that the rest of this matter isn¡¯t as simple as it seems. An Chuan doesn¡¯t have the guts to provoke the Mo Corporation directly. There must be more problems, so it¡¯s only right for you to investigate!¡±

 Chapter 392 - 392 Chapter 392. Superb Acting Skills

    392 Chapter 392. Superb Acting Skills


    Zhuang Ming looked at Mo Qian and spoke in a low voice. After shaking his head, he continued, ¡°There are all kinds of people these days. I¡¯m no stranger to the An family! Their only daughter, An Ye, even came to my house before!¡±


    Zhuang Ming said as he slowly took a sip of his orange juice. When he went out today, Lin En warned him not to drink!


    Mo Qian smiled as he looked at Zhuang Ming, but he was sizing up Ye Zheng from the corner of his eye.


    ¡°An Ye was very close to my sister¡¯s daughter, Zhuang Jie, so we all know her. I never thought that the An Chuan family was like this! I used to think An Ye was a good child, but now it seems that you can¡¯t judge a book by its cover! Who would have thought that her heart would be so vicious at such a young age?¡±


    Zhuang Ming said slowly, a slight gloominess flashing across his wise and dark eyes.


    He stood with his hands behind his back and snorted before saying, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that Xian ¡®er is fine, and the An Chuan family fell from power quickly. I won¡¯t let their family off so easily! Xian ¡®er is a good child. She didn¡¯t tell her family when she was wronged outside. It was her mother who was worried about her and called her homeroom teacher. That¡¯s how she found out about An Ye¡¯s disgraceful actions!¡±


    ¡°Do you know Mo Qian? This audacious An Ye dared to attack our Zhuang Xian! I heard from teacher Bai Fan that An Ye pulled Zhuang Xian down the hill! Oh my God! When I heard this, my heart almost stopped!¡±


    Mo Qian listened attentively to Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, thinking Saint Capital University had done an excellent job. At least the parents knew what they should know.


    As he watched Mo Qian silently listen to him, Zhuang Ming slowly realized that it was inappropriate for him to be so dissatisfied.


    He cleared his throat and chuckled at Mo Qian, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mo Qian! Uncle was too angry, so I said a few more words before you. Please don¡¯t mind.¡±


    ¡°How could that be, Uncle! I¡¯m more than happy to hear about Zhuang Xian from you. Was Zhuang Xian¡¯s injury serious? Then, where is that despicable An Ye now? Shouldn¡¯t the police intervene in such a matter? What did the school people say? Have they already started interrogating An Ye?¡± Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Ming¡¯s face and pretended to be confused.


    It was such exquisite and perfect acting skills. Many actors couldn¡¯t even compare to him in today¡¯s entertainment industry, right?


    Of course, Mo Qian didn¡¯t think so. Mo Xi, standing beside him, had this in his thoughts.


    Mo Xi glanced at Mr. Zhuang, standing beside his young master. He was already starting to feel sorry for him because if his young master lied to people, it would be terrifying.


    He could keep people in the dark and simultaneously make people trust him. This was also one of Mo Qian¡¯s abilities. Or rather, this was Mo Qian¡¯s top intelligence and an extremely calm and heavy heart.


    Mo Xi retracted his gaze and thought about fourth Miss Zhuang¡¯s injury. Their young master had known about it that day, but now, in front of Mr. Zhuang, he still pretended to know nothing and pretended to be confused to ask Mr. Zhuang for information. He was really bad.


    Mo Xi had misunderstood Mo Qian here.


    From the looks of it, the entire Zhuang family did not seem to know about Zhuang Xian¡¯s hidden secrets.


    At least, they didn¡¯t know that Zhuang Xian was Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s Qing Yi apothecary, and the only person who could cure Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was Qing Yi. This was no secret in their business circle, so they couldn¡¯t let anyone know that Mo Qian had gone to Blue Eagle Base to look for Zhuang Xian, at least not Zhuang Ming.


    This was the secret Mo Qian had promised Zhuang Xian to keep for her!


    Mo Xi didn¡¯t know about their agreement, so he thought of Mo Qian this way.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Mo Qian¡¯s worried and confused expression, and a smile appeared in his eyes. ¡°Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries are fine!¡±

 Chapter 393 - 393 Chapter 393. Acquired Leukemia

    393 Chapter 393. Acquired Leukemia


    ¡°She recuperated in their military training base for two days, nothing serious. Now, She¡¯s gone back to continue military training! Zhuang Xian is like that, strong and full of ideas.¡± Zhuang Ming said helplessly.


    Looking at Mo Qian, who was nodding his head repeatedly, Zhuang Ming couldn¡¯t help but start nagging again. ¡°Zhuang Xian is fine, but An Ye¡¯s injuries are severe. She¡¯s still lying in the ward of Ren Xin hospital. The police have been watching over her. When An Ye wakes up, they¡¯ll interrogate and arrest her immediately. An Ye definitely won¡¯t be able to escape!¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Ming and chuckled as he nodded. ¡°I¡¯m relieved to see that She¡¯s fine. An Ye¡¯s evil has been rewarded.¡±


    Zhuang Ming sighed, ¡°It¡¯s only because our Zhuang Xian is blessed that she¡¯s fine even after falling from such a high place. She¡¯s not like her cousin, Zhuang Jie, who broke her nose after falling on flat ground. Don¡¯t you think she¡¯s unlucky?¡±


    After listening to Zhuang Ming for so long, he finally mentioned something Mo Qian didn¡¯t know about. This time, he was curious. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Zhuang Jie? Is she hurt?¡±


    ¡°I heard it from my wife. She said that Zhuang Jie suddenly fainted during training and fell to the ground. She even broke her nose when she hit a rock on the ground. She was carried back to the camp by their Squad leader and sent to the hospital. She¡¯s probably in the hospital now.¡± Zhuang Ming briefly explained and finished the orange juice glass in his hand. He then placed it on the waiter¡¯s plate.


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian furrowed his brows in confusion. ¡°Then who should be responsible for such a thing? Is it the military or the school? Shouldn¡¯t both sides bear the responsibility for this kind of accident during military training? Did the military get into big trouble? After all, her mother is not easy to get along with! Zhuang Jie has suffered such a serious injury this time; won¡¯t she go to the military and the school to cause trouble?¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s mood was a little complicated when he heard this. He naturally wouldn¡¯t refute Mo Qian¡¯s words for Zhuang Jing¡¯s sake. The point was that Mo Qian wasn¡¯t wrong!


    Zhuang Jing had been living like a coward for the past few years. She had probably offended everyone in the business circle of City H.


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t care about Zhuang Jing¡¯s karma. He just felt a little pity for Zhuang Jie.


    He shook his head and explained, ¡°This has nothing to do with the military or the school. If Zhuang Jie didn¡¯t fall during the military training, the whole family would still be clueless about her condition!¡±


    Mo Qian was puzzled. ¡°What do you mean? Zhuang Jie fell and fell sick?¡±


    Zhuang Ming sighed and explained, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with that. After Zhuang Jie fell, the wound on her nose bled non-stop. She used all sorts of medicine, but it just couldn¡¯t stop. This afternoon, Ren Xin hospital confirmed that it was acquired leukemia. This child is usually very arrogant, unreasonable, and oppressive, but she¡¯s still young. I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t have a future with this illness!¡±


    Although Zhuang Ming no longer liked Zhuang Jie as much as he used to, she was still his only niece. It would be a lie to say that he didn¡¯t feel sorry for her. Zhuang Ming was still very kind at heart.


    ¡°No matter how much Zhuang Jing wants to mess around, she probably doesn¡¯t have much energy left. At this time, the child is the most important.¡± Zhuang Ming sighed as he spoke.


    Mo Qian¡¯s intuition told him that this matter wasn¡¯t that simple. A dark and complicated look flashed in his eyes so fast that almost no one noticed.


    When he looked at Zhuang Ming again, he had already returned to normal. ¡°Life and death are determined by fate. This is the most unpredictable thing. We can¡¯t force things like this that can¡¯t be helped. It¡¯s good to know earlier so we can have more time to seek medical advice. Maybe there will be a chance.¡±


    Zhuang Ming nodded and agreed gloomily. Then, he shook his head in regret.


    Zhuang Ming wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would make enemies for life.

 Chapter 394 - 394 Chapter 394. The Asura of The Business World

    394 Chapter 394. The Asura of The Business World


    Even though his family had many conflicts and quarrels with Zhuang Jing¡¯s family, he still sighed in his heart after learning of such an unfortunate event.


    This was the most significant difference between Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Jing.


    Zhuang Ming was a kind and generous person, and he rarely argued with others. On the other hand, Zhuang Jing was the complete opposite. She would seek revenge for the slightest grievance and liked to argue over every little thing. The most disgusting thing about her was that she had high expectations but low standards and was sinister and vicious. In any case, she would do anything to achieve her goals! Mo Qian looked down on such a person.


    Many discerning people looked down on Zhuang Jing in City H¡¯s business circle. They felt that this person was too ambitious but could not do things. People would only feel speechless and disgusted when they saw her!


    Zhuang Ming and Mo Qian knew there was no possibility of recovery from an illness like Zhuang Jie¡¯s. What was waiting for her was an endless amount of medicine, treatment, and examinations.


    Just as Zhuang Ming had thought, Zhuang Jie was finished!


    As Zhuang Ming and Mo Qian chatted, he was a little depressed by his own words. He smiled at Mo Qian in embarrassment and said, ¡°I saw some Lan Wei western desserts on the banquet table of the Ding family. Mo Qian, do you want to come with me to have some?¡±


    If he ate something sweet, he might feel better. Zhuang Ming thought.


    To Mo Qian, this was naturally not impossible. However, he thought it would still have to be after completing one thing.


    When he heard Zhuang Ming¡¯s question, he glanced sideways at Ye Zheng, who was not far away. He chuckled and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯d love to, but before that, I¡¯d like to ask you for a small favor.¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Mo Qian in confusion.


    Ye Zheng, holding a glass of champagne in his hand and constantly looking over, couldn¡¯t hold it any longer.


    He wanted to know what Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming were talking about, standing there and chatting for so long.


    Seeing how they laughed for a moment and then became quiet, could they be talking about the Ye Group? Due to Xian Du¡¯s strong participation recently, the Ye family¡¯s momentum has slowly risen again. Their competition and contest with Ming En had never stopped.


    Ye Zheng was distraught. Could Zhuang Ming be trying to win Mo Qian over again? He observed the two of them for a long time and saw their conversation becoming more relaxed and happy. He felt very uncomfortable and walked in this direction with the champagne in his hand.


    ¡°President Mo! Long time no see! How have you been?¡± Ye Zheng looked at Mo Qian, who was in the wheelchair, with a smile.


    This kind of courtesy and hypocrisy in business seemed to be a skill every businessman had to master. They could speak human words and have ghost meanings!


    Mo Qian acknowledged that his relationship with Ye Zheng had not reached the point where he needed to greet him with a smile. Judging from the previous conflicts between the Ye Group and the Ming En group, the Mo Group, and the Ye Group should belong to different camps. Even this time, when the An family caused trouble at the Mo Group, Ye Zheng and he were enemies, not friends.


    Hence, it was rather odd that Mo Qian, who had always been a polite and gentlemanly man in the entertainment circle, did not have a good expression when he faced Ye Zheng this time!


    In the banquet hall, many people silently observed Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming, as well as Ye Zheng, who was beside them. This scene was exciting. It could be considered a small-scale Asura arena!


    Mo Qian naturally heard Ye Zheng¡¯s greeting but pretended not to hear it. He continued to chat with Zhuang Ming, the smile on his face never fading.


    Ye Zheng was very sensitive to the gazes of the people around them. After silently gritting his teeth, he took two steps forward and said to Mo Qian with a smile, ¡°Boss Mo? Boss Mo!¡±


    He raised his voice, and in the crowd that had suddenly quieted down, it seemed particularly out of place, but at least it made Mo Qian turn his head to look at him.


    The smile on Mo Qian¡¯s face vanished as he looked at Ye Zheng indifferently and replied softly, ¡°Oh, Boss Ye! Do you have something to say? I¡¯m talking to Chief Zhuang now.¡±


    On most social occasions, Mo Qian¡¯s words already indicated his displeasure.

 Chapter 395 - 395 Chapter 395. Please?

    395 Chapter 395. Please?


    When someone tactfully expressed that they didn¡¯t welcome you, a slightly sensitive person would find a good reason and leave the scene with dignity.


    This way, he could ensure that he would not lose face, and he would not let the host think that he was insensible and ruined the initially happy and harmonious atmosphere of the banquet.


    But how could Ye Zheng be such a well-behaved person? He could defend himself even when unreasonable and was a compelling character.


    Ye Zheng did not think much of Mo Qian¡¯s blunt words. He did not want to establish a relationship with Mo Qian, anyway. It was nothing more than some polite probing and flattery!


    ¡°I¡¯m just going to say a few words. I won¡¯t disturb you for too long, President Mo!¡± He said.


    As Ye Zheng spoke, he pretended to laugh to ease the awkward atmosphere.


    His eyes had been fixed on Mo Qian the entire time. After saying this, he glanced at Zhuang Ming beside Mo Qian and gave a perfunctory smile before looking away.


    Zhuang Ming felt that Ye Zheng was a little funny. The corners of his mouth slowly curved as he said, ¡°President Ye is doing big things. I¡¯m impressed by your ¡®unbothered¡¯ bearing.¡±


    When Ye Zheng heard this, he looked at Zhuang Ming suspiciously. He thought, ¡®Could it be that Zhuang Ming knows something? Why can¡¯t I understand what he¡¯s saying?


    Was he trying to use words to warn him? Or perhaps, he was referring to Mo Qian?¡¯


    Ye Zheng was suspicious and cunning. He had a few hundred precautions against an old fox like Zhuang Ming.


    He thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, ¡°President Zhuang, you don¡¯t have any reason to say that. Why do I feel like it¡¯s so difficult? What do you mean by that? If you have something to say, say it. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush.¡±


    Zhuang Ming laughed. After glancing at Ye Zheng, he turned to Mo Qian and asked, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s strenuous?¡±


    The kindness in Zhuang Ming¡¯s eyes faded away, leaving only a fake smile on his lips. He continued, ¡°Why would President Ye waste so much effort? You¡¯re just playing dumb! If I were you, I would have avoided President Mo and left. At this time, you still came up to us. President mo didn¡¯t scold you directly, which already gives you a face! What meaning could I have? I¡¯m just sincerely admiring President Ye!¡±


    Mo Qian sat calmly at the side. As he listened to Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.


    He thought, ¡®It seems like Zhuang Xian is not the only one in the Zhuang family who is good with words. Everyone is good with words!¡¯


    Ye Zheng¡¯s face darkened in anger after being teased by Zhuang Ming.


    He fixed his eyes on Zhuang Ming and suddenly snorted coldly. He put down his wine glass and retorted, ¡°Why do I feel so awkward listening to what CEO Zhuang said? Why am I acting dumb? If I have done anything wrong and offended President Mo, then President Mo will naturally find trouble with me. What does it have to do with you? Could it be that President Zhuang lives by the sea? Are you a police officer?¡±


    He laughed sarcastically as he said, ¡°Alright, I think your family¡¯s business hasn¡¯t been doing as well as it used to be. That¡¯s why you¡¯re so eager to flatter President Mo, right? When doing business, it¡¯s always the wheel of fortune. Yesterday was your house, so today, it could naturally be someone else¡¯s house. This is a very normal reason!¡±


    ¡°President Zhuang, you¡¯ve been a businessman for decades. Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t understand this. It seemed that President Zhuang¡¯s vision and outlook needed more experience. When there was nothing to do, he should not be envious of others! Zhuang Ming, you¡¯re not the only capable person in this world!¡±


    Ye Zheng¡¯s tone was measured and eccentric. He spoke with enthusiasm and assurance, and his expression was sarcastic. He looked very arrogant.


    It was as if the Zhuang Ming he spoke of was a despicable man who was good at sucking up to Mo Qian and currying favor with him but also envied their Ye family.


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t think Ye Zheng¡¯s sarcasm could anger him. He even believed that Ye Zheng was a little ridiculous.


    He said he was sucking up to Mo Qian and trying to please him? This was funny!

 Chapter 396 - 396 Chapter 396. Zhuang Ming, Ye Zheng

    396 Chapter 396. Zhuang Ming, Ye Zheng


    Putting aside the fact that he had never thought of doing this, even if he was trying to please Mo Qian, so what? In City H¡¯s business circle, who wouldn¡¯t want to please Mo Qian and be on good terms with him?


    Oh, right! He had first to get rid of some people who didn¡¯t know their strength, were ambitious, had a life thinner than paper, and were reaching beyond their grasp.


    For example, Ye Zheng, who was in front of him, had impure thoughts. His greed and desire made him jealous of Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming, especially Zhuang Ming, who was on the same level as him. He couldn¡¯t stand it.


    Ye Zheng loathed Zhuang Ming, and he didn¡¯t like the person backing him, Mo Qian, either.


    He thought that even if he couldn¡¯t leave a good impression on Mo Qian, he could at least mess up the relationship between the two of them.


    It was like there was a delicious fruit in front of him, but he was not qualified enough to eat it, so he had to throw mud on it to disgust others who came to eat it! In any case, he couldn¡¯t bear to see others doing better than himself.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Ye Zheng with dark eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly chuckled.


    Zhuang Ming thought that Ye Zheng felt those words could hurt him because he took him too seriously. Could he even compare to him? Could he still compete with Mo Qian?


    It was ironic that Ye Zheng wasn¡¯t that capable, but his mind was wild! He didn¡¯t know that no matter how ambitious he was, without the support of absolute strength, it would all be for naught.


    ¡°When President Ye spoke now, his words didn¡¯t make sense. Is he talking nonsense? You¡¯re the only one who knows if you¡¯re playing dumb! Who said that our Zhuang family¡¯s business is not doing well? What, could it be that Boss Ye has planted a spy in our Ming En?


    Did that person tell you that our Ming En can¡¯t make it these days? Or does President Ye think he can take a leap and be on equal footing with Ming En in the industry after winning over Xian Du? Then President Ye is a little too naive!¡± Zhuang Ming said indifferently. His deep dark eyes kept staring at Ye Zheng.


    Just like that, Zhuang Ming and Ye Zheng were in a deadlock. Neither of them was afraid of the other, nor did they give in to the other!


    As the host, Mr. Ding felt terrible when he saw the situation. He quickly walked over. Before he arrived, his voice rang out.


    ¡°Hahaha! You see, this is my fault! You two bosses, please don¡¯t make a big fuss in a small place like mine. I can¡¯t afford to offend anyone in this arena! Those who can come to this place today are all my guests and friends who give me face! The two of you, please calm down and speak less!¡±


    As Mr. Ding spoke, he turned his head to look at Mo Qian, still in his wheelchair. He smiled and continued to persuade him, ¡°We have an important guest here today. Even if you don¡¯t give me face, you should give President Mo some face, right?¡±


    Mo Qian raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say anything.


    Ye Zheng glared fiercely at Zhuang Ming. His eyes were dark and fierce. Right now, both sides had already laid their cards on the table. There was naturally no need for the last perfunctory and polite exchange. He and Zhuang Ming were enemies!


    Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t care about Ye Zheng¡¯s gaze. He only looked around at the eyes that were sizing him up. He snorted coldly and retracted his gaze. ¡°Of course, I have to give Chairman Ding face. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m very uncomfortable seeing a hypocritical, sinister, and self-conceited person in front of me. I want everyone to see that kind of face too. If we meet in the business world in the future, we have to avoid it so that we don¡¯t get schemed against again!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s eyes fell on Ye Zheng as he spoke. What he wanted to express was already very obvious!


    He and Ye Zheng had always been at odds with each other in business. However, it was the first time they had shed all pretenses of friendship in front of so many people on such an occasion.


    The two of them wouldn¡¯t even meet at a regular gathering. It was rare to have a chance to confront each other.


    Mo Qian was present today, so Zhuang Ming naturally had nothing to hide. When dealing with people like Ye Zheng, he should use a potent drug. If he wanted to use polite and elegant methods, it would not work!

 Chapter 397 - 397 Chapter 397. A Direct Confrontation

    397 Chapter 397. A Direct Confrontation


    When Ye Zheng heard Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, he was so angry that his face turned red. He sneered and asked sternly, ¡°What are you farting about, Zhuang the third! How? Your housekeeper isn¡¯t here today, so you want to compete with me? How come you¡¯re not like your usual cowardly self?¡±


    Seeing that Ye Zheng had already started to ramble and scold him, Mr. Ding was helpless and impatient. He quickly raised his hand to signal Ye Zheng to stop. Everyone in the industry knew Lin En was Zhuang Ming¡¯s weak spot! Was that something that could be casually said? It would be strange if Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t fight him to the death!


    ¡°What we say and what we do are two separate matters! Business is business. Why are you scolding my wife for no reason? Ye Zheng, are you such a piece of trash with no class? When did my wife ever offend you? Have you ever seen me say anything insulting to your family¡¯s women? We¡¯re men, and men have their way of fighting. You¡¯re too uncultured! I don¡¯t like you!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s face instantly darkened. His voice was icy. It was just a few rhetorical questions like a sharp blade stabbed into Ye Zheng¡¯s heart.


    Although Mr. Ding was the host, his words didn¡¯t seem to carry much weight. Anyway, no one would listen to him.


    He looked at Zhuang Ming, who had retorted at Ye Zheng, then at Ye Zheng, whose face had turned red and whose breathing was heavy from Zhuang Ming¡¯s rebuttal. He sighed heavily and did not try to persuade them anymore.


    Because he also knew that in such a situation, today¡¯s matter would probably not be resolved peacefully.


    Mo Xi glanced at Mr. Zhuang, who was standing in front of them with a gloomy and angry face and then lowered his head to look at his young master, who had not said a word all this time. He thought it was time for his young master to make an appearance, right?


    Mo Qian¡¯s hands were crossed on his legs, the fingers of his right hand rubbing the ring on his left pinky. The expression on his face was calm and collected as if the scene in front of him had not caused any emotional fluctuations.


    He looked up at Ye Zheng and smiled. Before Ye Zheng could continue to attack Zhuang Ming, he said, ¡°I was thinking of leaving some face for President Ye, but looking at your arrogant attitude, you don¡¯t seem to care much about these things. That¡¯s good; I don¡¯t have to waste my time to give you face.¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he maneuvered his wheelchair half a meter towards Ye Zheng and stopped behind Zhuang Ming.


    He looked around at the people listening to the excitement and said, ¡°Yesterday, after I took down An Chuan, the first thing he did was rat you out! I was shocked when you walked over to me with confidence and no guilt! Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll find trouble with you?¡±


    ¡°What did you say to An Chuan when you were teasing him? He was so muddleheaded that he thought I was the one who attacked the An Corporation and caused them to go bankrupt. How could I be that kind of person? Is the An family worthy of my time and effort? This is too funny! That¡¯s right, only someone as muddleheaded as An Chuan would be easily schemed against by people with ulterior motives. It¡¯s quite pitiful.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s words were like a huge rock hitting a quiet lake, shattering all the silence and hypocrisy. The crowd began to discuss, and everyone looked at Ye Zheng with complicated and dark eyes.


    Looking at Ye Zheng¡¯s wide-open eyes and dazed expression, Mo Qian chuckled and continued, ¡°You slandered the Mo Corporation like this and even encouraged An Chuan to cause trouble at my company. You¡¯ve indeed caused me a lot of losses and trouble. Just like what you said, if there¡¯s anything you didn¡¯t do well, I can come and find trouble with you directly, right?¡±


    Mo Qian paused for a moment and raised his head slightly. He looked at Ye Zheng indifferently, admiring his embarrassment and panic.


    Ye Zheng gulped without making a sound. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. After a long while, he retorted, ¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding, Boss Mo. The person you¡¯re talking about doesn¡¯t seem to be me!¡±

 Chapter 398 - 398 Chapter 398. A Misunderstanding?

    398 Chapter 398. A Misunderstanding?


    ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with An Chuan. Whether their family goes bankrupt or not has nothing to do with me. Besides, I have no grudges against you in the past, and I have had no worries recently. I have no reason to do this! I¡¯m not the kind of person who would do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding behind this.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Wasn¡¯t it you? Then why did An Chuan say it was you so firmly? Aren¡¯t you close to him? Why would he slander you?¡± Mo Qian pretended to be puzzled and asked slowly.


    His naturally overbearing aura made one¡¯s heart go numb. Ye Zheng felt even more guilty. In his heart, he was cursing at An Chuan, that trash. It was okay if he couldn¡¯t do anything, but he dared to betray him. It seemed like he wanted to die!


    However, An Chuan should be a dead man by now, right? This was even better. A dead man could not speak. He could explain the later questions however he wanted, as long as he could calm Mo Qian down.


    Ye Zheng quickly calculated in his heart and slowly came up with an idea. It would be fine if he refused to admit it, even if he was beaten to death. Mo Qian had no evidence anyway. Moreover, that trash An Chuan had done nothing. What losses could he cause to Mo Qian? These were just Mo Qian¡¯s excuses!


    Mo Qian was protecting Zhuang Ming!


    Ye Zheng had figured out the critical point, and a forced and ingratiating smile slowly appeared. ¡°I don¡¯t know. After all, I¡¯m not An Chuan. I don¡¯t know why he did this. But President Mo, you have to believe me. I won¡¯t do anything that harms others and doesn¡¯t benefit myself, especially for you and the Mo Corporation. I¡¯ve always admired your talent in business. We should be friends!¡±


    ¡°Tsk tsk tsk! I thought you wouldn¡¯t say anything nice, but you¡¯re also trying to suck up to Mo Qian? However, when you compare this to the previous ones, aren¡¯t you just talking to yourself and slapping your face? Even if you don¡¯t find it embarrassing, we don¡¯t want to dirty our ears and waste our time and feelings!¡±


    Zhuang Ming looked at Ye Zheng sarcastically and announced the news to the entire audience.


    He glanced at Ye Zheng and retracted his gaze with some disdain. He patted Mo Qian¡¯s shoulder and then looked around at the people around them. He smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s tiring talking to someone like President Ye. It¡¯s a waste of time, and you get a stomach full of anger. It¡¯s disgusting!¡±


    Upon hearing this, mo Qian looked up at Zhuang Ming respectfully and replied with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s right, Uncle Zhuang. I also think such a person is not worth our time and energy.¡±


    As he spoke, he chuckled and looked at Ye Zheng again. However, the light in his eyes had become very sharp. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t admit to what I told you. I¡¯ll ask the judicial authorities to continue investigating. Just wait to be summoned, President Ye! There¡¯s one more thing I don¡¯t think Boss Ye is right about.¡±


    Ye Zheng took a deep breath and looked at Mo Qian with a heavy expression. He knew that he was unlucky, but he didn¡¯t dare to say anything to refute Mo Qian. He only shot a fierce glance at Zhuang Ming, standing beside Mo Qian, and thought that this person only knew how to suck up to Mo Qian. He was sinister!


    ¡°When you were arguing with my Uncle Zhuang just now, you said that he was protecting his wife at home and that he was a coward? I disagree with this! I think a man who loves and respects his wife is a real man! What I, Mo Qian, hate the most is this kind of person who only knows how to talk about women and attack others with their women!


    I think Mrs. Ye usually doesn¡¯t care about the company¡¯s affairs. That¡¯s why Mr. Ye believes that women¡¯s independent, confident, and capable characters are shortcomings and weapons that can be used to anger others. I have to say; Boss Ye is conservative. Which era are you still living in? What kind of feudal remnant are you?¡±


    As Mo Qian said these words, the corners of his mouth were smiling.


    His every word and sentence directly stirred up a conflict between Ye Zheng and everyone present.


    The people who could attend this kind of banquet were all well-known in the circle. They also had very powerful female characters. They didn¡¯t need to rely on anyone, but they could tear open a hole in this bloody circle and create their own brilliance.

 Chapter 399 - 399 Chapter 399. Cousin

    399 Chapter 399. Cousin


    Even if she wasn¡¯t the female character Ye Zheng was insinuating and attacking, which of the CEO elites present didn¡¯t have a wife and daughter?


    There were plenty of female CEOs in the industry who were similar to Lin En. Ye Zheng¡¯s words were indeed brainless. It was no wonder that Mo Qian picked up his own words and used them against Ye Zheng.


    It was difficult for the people present to have a good impression of an arrogant, rude, hypocritical, and self-righteous person like Ye Zheng. Shen Min was also here today.


    At that moment, everyone at the party looked at Ye Zheng with complicated and dark eyes.


    This was especially so for successful women who were elegant and confident, but at the same time, they did not lack heroic spirit and boldness. They looked down on people like Ye Zheng the most!


    ¡°For someone like Ye Zheng, who can even contradict what he said, Mo Qian, you shouldn¡¯t have such high expectations of him. He¡¯s just a superficial, shallow, and ignorant person. Can he understand what you¡¯re saying?¡±


    A woman with an outstanding temperament with a tall wine glass in her hand spoke. Her voice was not very loud, evident on this extremely quiet occasion. Everyone could hear it.


    Mo Qian chuckled and raised his eyes to meet her eyes as a greeting.


    This woman with an outstanding temperament walked over to Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming in high heels, her graceful figure swaying.


    Zhuang Ming felt that her face was a little unfamiliar. She didn¡¯t look like someone from City H¡¯s business circle. Zhuang Ming sized her up without making a sound. His intuition told him that this woman and Mo Qian had an unusual relationship.


    Mo Qian looked at Mo Ye¡¯s smiling face and said softly, ¡°Cousin.¡±


    Mo Ye had heard what she wanted to hear. The smile on her face widened. She teased, ¡°If I didn¡¯t walk over, I wouldn¡¯t have heard you call me big sister, right? You¡¯re still like this, or I¡¯ll tell grandma!¡±


    After hearing Mo Qian address her as ¡®cousin¡¯, the people around them were all a little surprised.


    This was the head of the Mo family¡¯s branch in T City, Modi¡¯s only daughter Mo Ye. Zhuang Ming thought.


    Looking at him up close, Mo Ye did look very similar to Mo Qian, especially that pair of amorous Phoenix eyes unique to the Mo family. When they looked at Mo Qian, people didn¡¯t feel any difference because Mo Qian¡¯s unique temperament suppressed the enchantment and charm of this pair of eyes.


    However, when it landed on Mo Ye¡¯s face, it was just right.


    Mo Ye was gorgeous, especially her charming eyes!


    Mo Qian smiled helplessly, not minding Mo Ye¡¯s accusation. He asked slowly, ¡°So, you came from T City with grandma? Where is she now?¡±


    ¡°She chased me out as soon as I got off the plane. I don¡¯t know where she is now. Maybe she¡¯s at your house, or maybe she went to Yunqi mountain to look for master Yin Yun!¡± Mo Ye looked at Mo Qian¡¯s face and said with a chuckle.


    The faint smile on Mo Qian¡¯s lips slowly receded a little. His cousin¡¯s words just now contained a lot of information.


    However, it was not a good time to talk. He glanced at Mo Ye, then looked at Mr. Ding and said with a smile, ¡°Thank you for your hospitality today, Chairman Ding. I still have some urgent matters, so I¡¯ll leave now.¡±


    Mr. Ding was taken aback. He looked at Mo Ye beside Mo Qian and suddenly reacted with a slightly fawning smile.


    He said, ¡°President Mo, what are you saying? It¡¯s already my honor to have you attend the gathering tonight! I can¡¯t say that I¡¯m treating you well, but as long as you feel that you can barely stomach it, it¡¯s fine. I think that old Madam Mo has just come over from T City and should be waiting for you at home right now. You can go ahead with your work first. I¡¯ll pay you a visit another day when I have the time!¡±


    Mo Xi looked at Mr. Ding¡¯s excited and ingratiating expression and felt speechless. He guessed that what Mr. Ding wanted to say was not ¡®I¡¯ll be there to visit you personally, but I¡¯ll bring my precious daughter to see old Madam Mo personally¡¯.


    Mo Qian glanced at him but didn¡¯t say anything. His rejection was apparent. As long as one wasn¡¯t a fool, they should be able to see it.

 Chapter 400 - 400 Chapter 400. Ill Yet You go For Now

    400 Chapter 400. I¡¯ll Yet You go For Now


    Seeing that Mo Qian was in a hurry to leave, Zhuang Ming spoke gently, ¡°You should hurry home. You can¡¯t let the old lady wait for you like this. Leave the rest to me. I¡¯ll handle it.¡±


    When Zhuang Ming said he would handle it, he shifted his gaze to look at Ye Zheng, who had a gloomy expression.


    Mo Qian shook his head slightly and looked up at Zhuang Ming. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. There¡¯s no need to dirty your hands, Uncle Zhuang. I¡¯ll take care of it later. It¡¯s getting late, and it¡¯s time to leave. Uncle, do you want to come with us?¡±


    When Zhuang Ming saw Mo Qian¡¯s reaction, he stopped being embarrassed to decline. He laughed out loud and said bluntly, ¡°You¡¯re right. Let¡¯s go out together then. My driver is waiting for me. If I go back late, your aunt Lin probably won¡¯t let me off easily!¡±


    He spoke frankly about the wife that Ye Zheng had criticized earlier. On the surface, he looked calm and fearless. When he mentioned his wife at home, his eyes radiated with love.


    Mo Ye didn¡¯t recognize Zhuang Ming¡¯s identity. He looked at the old man a few more times, and a faint admiration rose in his heart. She felt this was the best model to consider when looking for a husband. What kind of plaything was Ye Zheng?


    Of course, Miss Mo did not know that she would be able to realize this dream in the future.


    The men in the Zhuang family were all very protective of their loved ones. Whether it was their family or their loved ones, they were all very protective of them.


    Mo Qian did not know about his cousin¡¯s slight daze, nor could he guess what would happen in the future. He nodded and smiled at Chairman Ding. Then, he looked at the people around him. His polite and thoughtful smile made people feel more favorable toward him.


    Mo Xi held onto the handle of the wheelchair and pushed Mo Qian forward. When they passed by Ye Zheng, Mo Qian raised his hand slightly, indicating for Mo Xi to stop.


    He turned to look at Ye Zheng beside him. His handsome face was no longer smiling, and a dark light flickered in his eyes. In a low voice, he said to Ye Zheng, ¡°I have more important things to do today, so I¡¯ll let you go for now. But you have to be careful later on. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you; I won¡¯t let you go easily.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he retracted his gaze. Mo Xi understood and pushed his wheelchair out of the venue.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Ye Zheng¡¯s disheveled expression as if he had just eaten sh*t and felt extremely happy.


    When he walked past Ye Zheng, he snorted coldly and said sarcastically, ¡°Chairman Ding, today¡¯s banquet was pretty good, but the only regret is that a buzzing fly flew in from somewhere. It¡¯s so annoying! Not to mention the noise, but the most important thing is that it affects everyone¡¯s appetite. What a pity! What a pity!¡±


    As the host, CEO Ding was speechless.


    Ye Zheng, who was about to be angered to death by Zhuang Ming¡¯s enigmatic expression, let out a sigh.


    If Zhuang Huai were present, he would probably burst into tears from laughing at his father¡¯s infuriating expression.


    Sure enough, children would not have a personality for no reason. They were all passed down from their parents. Zhuang Huai had inherited Zhuang Ming¡¯s teachings, and he often didn¡¯t stop talking until he shocked everyone.


    Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming separated in the front yard of the Ding family. He watched Zhuang Ming¡¯s car drive out, then turned to Mo Ye and said softly, ¡°Get in the car.¡±


    Glancing at his beloved car parked not far away, Mo Ye abandoned it decisively and sat in Mo Qian¡¯s specially-made Rolls Royce.


    This was much more spacious and comfortable than her beloved car! Mo Ye thought absent-mindedly.


    Mo Qian adjusted the blanket on his legs and asked without looking up, ¡°So, why did you follow grandma to City H? Do you have any projects to do here? Or do you like something else of mine?¡±


    Mo Ye laughed and looked at her younger brother. She said, ¡°Don¡¯t force me to scold you! How could he joke and talk without any sense of decency? If grandma finds out about this, she¡¯ll skin me alive! I have enough money from the Mo family in T City. I¡¯m begging you, little brother, don¡¯t try to harm me. I don¡¯t dare to take the thing in your hand! I still want to take the Mo family¡¯s money and enjoy life for a few more years!¡±

 Chapter 401 - 401 Chapter 401. Brother And Sister

    401 Chapter 401. Brother And Sister


    Mo Ye sighed as if she suddenly recalled something. Then, she continued, ¡°Speaking of this, I miss the days we studied together. Why do you think Mo Wei did this to you? Didn¡¯t his aunt treat him well? These ungrateful stinky men are getting more and more detestable!¡±


    Mo Ye was a carefree big sister with a cheerful personality. She was straightforward and said whatever she thought of, which scared Mo Xi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.


    The previous head of the Mo family, Mo Wei, was also their young master¡¯s biological father. He was a matter that could not even be mentioned by the entire Mo family and in front of Mo Qian. Only their eldest young lady had never cared about such things. Her blabbermouth made them, as her subordinates, anxious to death!


    However, seeing that his young master didn¡¯t seem to have any reaction, Mo Xi¡¯s heart was slightly relieved.


    ¡°That was long ago; why are you bringing it up? Yes?¡± Mo Qian replied softly, his calm expression unreadable. ¡°You haven¡¯t told me why you followed grandma here.¡±


    Mo Ye looked at Mo Qian¡¯s handsome face and was slightly dazed. However, she still remembered to answer his question. ¡°I missed you and came to see you, can¡¯t I?¡±


    Mo Qian laughed and looked at her from the side. When he saw the slight infatuation in Mo Ye¡¯s eyes, he was a little speechless. ¡°We¡¯re siblings by blood, so please keep the lascivious look out of your eyes! Miss Mo Ye!¡±


    Although he said that, there was a smile in his eyes. He seemed to have a good relationship with Mo Ye, and they were very familiar with each other.


    ¡°This is called being unrestrained? I haven¡¯t even done anything yet! Speaking of which, you¡¯ve become increasingly handsome in the past few years! You were just a handsome man envied by the heavens in the past. Now, you have transformed into a good man with infinite charm! I¡¯m very pleased.¡±


    Mo Ye took back her eyes and continued, pretending to be bored, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to remind me. I know that we are related by blood; I know it too clearly! My brother is such a handsome man, but I can only look at him and not get into his arms. It¡¯s a great regret in life!¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled and looked at Mo Ye with a smile. He promised helplessly, ¡°I¡¯ll take it as a compliment! You¡¯ve complimented me very well. There¡¯s no need to praise me again next time.¡±


    Mo Ye had not seen Mo Qian for a long time. The last time they met seemed to be three years ago. At that time, Mo Qian was fighting with his father, Mo Wei. They were father and son, but they made it seem like enemies.


    Because of what had happened between the father and son, grandma Mo had been so angry that she collapsed. It took her a long time to recover.


    Mo Ye was right. The last time she saw Mo Qian, he was not as experienced and steady as he was now. She could not imagine what Mo Qian had gone through in the past three years.


    Fortunately, the Mo family had never been very prosperous. Among the younger generation, Mo Wei¡¯s only legitimate child was Mo Qian, so there was no fierce battle like the previous generation.


    Mo Ye was also a girl. Because of her personality, she had seen through some things early on, so she did not have unrealistic greed.


    She wouldn¡¯t fight with Mo Qian because she felt that she was already good enough. It would not be easy if she were to sit in Mo Qian¡¯s position.


    Without disputes of interests, there would be no desire to fight. That was why these two siblings could get along so harmoniously. Sometimes, they were even more familiar and natural than biological siblings.


    At the very least, other than grandmother Mo and Mo Ye, no one in the Mo family had dared to mention that person in front of Mo Qian.


    When he was young, Mo Qian thought that perhaps God felt that he had suffered too much, so he had a heartless, calm, and transparent sister like Mo Ye.


    He had learned a lot from Mo Ye. At least in that dark period, this girl had warmed his heart.


    Later on, Mo Ye was brought to T City by his uncle, who had split from the family. The girl who could warm Mo Qian¡¯s heart was now Zhuang Xian, who had saved his life in Kyushu Harbor.

 Chapter 402 - 402 Chapter 402. Mo Ye Doesnt Lie

    402 Chapter 402. Mo Ye Doesn¡¯t Lie


    In Mo Qian¡¯s heart, whether Zhuang Xian remembered it or not, he would never forget the warmth that Zhuang Xian had given him back in Kyushu Harbor. That was the purest part of the love he had ever felt.


    With Mo Ye¡¯s interruption and teasing, the reunion between the siblings, who had not seen each other for a long time, was quite happy and perfect.


    During this time, Mo Qian also noticed the changes in Mo Ye over the past few years. His sister seemed to be getting younger and younger. She was absorbing when she spoke, and she would probably be able to get along with Zhuang Xian.


    As Mo Ye spoke, he noticed Mo Qian¡¯s absent-mindedness and asked, ¡°Who are you thinking of? You can¡¯t even hide the smile in your eyes.¡±


    Mo Qian raised his eyes to look at her, smiled lightly, and replied, ¡°You already followed grandma to my house, so why are you acting dumb now?¡±


    Mo Ye smiled faintly and ignored Mo Qian¡¯s words. She looked at him and asked softly, ¡°So, what Granny said about you, like the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family, is true? What does this girl look like? There aren¡¯t many people who can charm my brother like this! It can¡¯t be a fairy descending to the mortal world, right?¡±


    ¡°More or less.¡±


    Hearing Mo Qian¡¯s answer, Mo Ye¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. She asked excitedly, ¡°Is she that good? Do you think she¡¯s better looking than your sister?¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled, speechless. ¡°You¡¯re full of yourself.¡±


    Mo Ye acted as if she didn¡¯t hear Mo Qian¡¯s sarcasm, thinking that she had gotten the answer. She nodded happily and replied satisfactorily, ¡°That¡¯s good! I told her that the person she liked must look better than me. Grandma is always flirting with me! This time, I¡¯ve lost!¡±


    Mo Qian was a little puzzled. ¡°Where did this conclusion come from? What are you and grandma doing? Why did you lose?¡±


    Mo Ye shifted her body slightly and leaned back on the seat elegantly. She flipped through Mo Qian¡¯s wine cabinet and poured herself a glass of whiskey. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ve always thought she was not as pretty as me, but grandma said she wasn¡¯t. She even said that the wife you found for yourself was better looking. I¡¯ve never seen Zhuang Xian¡¯s photo before, so I didn¡¯t believe her.¡±


    ¡°But seeing how confident you were just now, I¡¯m 70 ¨C 80% convinced. You¡¯ve always been picky, and for you to like Zhuang Xian so much, I think she must have something special about her. So, I admit that I lost.¡±


    Mo Qian raised his hand and took the glass from Mo Ye. He said helplessly, ¡°You¡¯re boring!¡±


    He raised his head and took a sip of wine. He chuckled and asked, ¡°Sometimes, I wonder if grandma has installed surveillance cameras on me. How can she know everything I do? And she knows so much about it. Has she ever monitored you?¡±


    Mo Ye put down the cup, thought for a while, and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I¡¯m not related to you. There¡¯s no point in her monitoring me.¡±


    Mo Ye sighed. ¡°Don¡¯t blame grandma for sending people to monitor and protect you. She¡¯s just scared by what happened a few times before. Now that the Mo family has no other way out except for you, how can she not care about you? Sometimes, I feel suffocated and sad for you, but when I think about her difficulties, I feel you can endure it for another two years.¡±


    Mo Qian had lost count of how many times he had been rendered speechless today. He curled his lips and said helplessly, ¡°Then you¡¯re my good sister. Should I thank you?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that.¡± Mo Ye quickly replied. A sly look flashed across her beautiful eyes. ¡°As long as you take me with you when you meet Zhuang Xian tomorrow, I want to meet this unparalleled beauty who has my little brother in her hands.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian looked at Mo Ye indifferently and replied, ¡°You guys already know that Zhuang Xian can treat my leg, right? What you said about grandma going to Yunqi mountain to fulfill her wish seems true.¡±


    Mo Ye coughed twice, trying to clear her throat to ease the awkwardness. ¡°Of course,¡± she said in a low voice. I, Mo Ye, never lie.¡±

 Chapter 403 - 403 Chapter 403. Old Madam Mo

    403 Chapter 403. Old Madam Mo


    ¡°Oh? Then tell me, how did grandma find out about this?¡± Mo Qian asked softly.


    Mo Ye couldn¡¯t tell if he was angry from his calm face.


    Mo Ye turned her head guiltily and pretended to look at the beautiful night view outside the window. She thought that the task her grandmother had given her was not easy.


    The night view of H City was breathtaking, especially in Dingcheng District, which was close to the city center. It was exceptionally bustling and gorgeous. The lights shone through the slit in the car window, gently shining on Mo Qian¡¯s face, making him look even more noble and imposing.


    Mo Qian was not angry when he saw Mo Ye playing dumb. He just turned the ring on his hand and said, ¡°As long as it¡¯s related to Zhuang Xian, I¡¯ve always been cautious. Especially before I went to Blue Eagle Base, I had deliberately left all of grandma¡¯s people behind. How did she still know about this? Grandma is resourceful.¡±


    Mo Ye, stuck between his brother and the old Madam, was inhuman.


    Fortunately, after entering Dingcheng District, they soon arrived at Mo Qian¡¯s mansion. Mo Ye looked at the familiar road scenery outside the window, flicked the beautiful curly hair on her forehead, and pretended to be calm as she replied, ¡°If you don¡¯t even know, how would I know?¡±


    Mo Ye¡¯s words had just fallen when the car slowly came to a stop. Mo Xi turned back to look at Mo Qian and Mo Ye, saying respectfully, ¡°Young master! Young miss! We¡¯re here.¡±


    When the beautiful Miss Mo heard this, she immediately smiled and replied, ¡°We¡¯re finally here. When I was in T City, I heard grandma mention that you¡¯ve renovated our house here a few times. You should let me take a good look now!¡±


    As she spoke, her hand gently lifted her skirt. With Mo Xi¡¯s help, she got out of the car.


    Mo Qian furrowed his brows slightly, looking a little worried. He also got out of the car after Mo Ye.


    When the Butler at the front door saw Mo Qian had returned, he hurriedly took a few steps to welcome him.


    The Butler bowed slightly to Mo Qian and reported, ¡°Young master, you¡¯re finally back. Old Madam has been waiting for you at home for over an hour!¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me when grandma came? You¡¯re getting increasingly reluctant to do this job, aren¡¯t you?¡± Mo Qian didn¡¯t even raise his eyes as he said indifferently.


    The Butler¡¯s heart tightened. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by a voice from the inner room.


    ¡°Mo Qian! If you¡¯re back, then come in quickly.¡±


    Hearing this familiar voice, Mo Qian sighed slightly and looked up at the front hall. Mo Xi understood and pushed him in.


    When old Madam Mo was young, she was already a well-known businesswoman in the country. She was like a fish in water when she did business.


    In the past, when old master Mo was still alive, she was in charge of the Mo family¡¯s business. She could manage the huge Mo family in an orderly manner.


    No matter what aspect, some people seemed to be born much better than others. Mo Su was one of these people, Mo Qian seemed to be the same, and Mo Ye could be considered one.


    All in all, the people of the Mo family seemed to be very powerful and outstanding!


    Mo Su was already more than 70 years old this year. After she recovered two years ago, she had been powerful and even more robust than many madams who were younger than her!


    She was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a pair of exquisite presbyopic glasses. She looked up from her book and saw her eldest grandson in the wheelchair.


    Mo Qian chuckled as he looked at her and said, ¡°Grandma.¡±


    Mo Su nodded, then raised a hand to signal him to come closer and responded gently, ¡°Come here; let grandma take a look at you.¡±


    Mo Qian maneuvered his wheelchair forward. When he stopped beside Mo Su, he asked, ¡°Have you had dinner? It¡¯s still early, so I¡¯ll get the kitchen to prepare something easy to digest and bring it up. Why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance that you were coming over? You must have waited a long time, right?¡±


    The old lady smiled gently and raised her hand to touch Mo Qian¡¯s face. She said softly, ¡°No need, I¡¯ve already had dinner. How have you been recently?¡±

 Chapter 404 - 404 Chapter 404. Catching up

    404 Chapter 404. Catching up


    Mo Su asked this question as if she didn¡¯t expect Mo Qian to answer immediately. She slowly said, ¡°You¡¯re all alone in City H, and no one knows you well to take care of you. I¡¯m always worried! Didn¡¯t I tell you to call me more often when I returned to the old residence? Why don¡¯t you take it to heart?¡±


    ¡°I heard from the Butler that some time ago, there was a mistake at home. You have to tell me the details of this matter later, understand? I¡¯ve told you before that the woman surnamed Lan is not a good person. Even if she has the token, she might not be the one who saved you in Kyushu Harbor. She¡¯s not that good at fighting.¡±


    As she said this, she shook her head slightly and sighed. Then, she continued, ¡°Fortunately, it didn¡¯t cause too much damage. If it hurts you again, how will I explain it to the ancestors of our Mo family? You¡¯re a good child, but you¡¯re too stubborn.¡±


    As Mo Su muttered these words, her eyes quietly sized up. Mo Qian¡¯s legs were covered with the blanket. In that pair of muddy eyes filled with wisdom, there was a profound look that outsiders did not easily detect.


    Mo Ye pouted helplessly when she saw that the old lady was no longer looking at her after seeing her eldest grandson. She found a seat and sat down, watching the two of them reminisce with an elegant and calm expression.


    After listening to his grandmother¡¯s long speech, Mo Qian nodded in agreement. Seeing that the old lady had finally stopped talking, Mo Qian opened his mouth and answered one by one, ¡°I¡¯m fine, grandma. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. That matter is already in the past, and I¡¯ve already resolved it. You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Since you¡¯re here this time, you should stay here for a while. There are few people at home, so it¡¯s quite empty.¡±


    Mo Su chuckled and looked at him with a reproachful look. She replied, ¡°Right? I also think that your house is freezing and cheerless. It would be even better if you could marry a granddaughter-in-law for grandma! The last time I went to Yunqi mountain, master Yin Yun was full of praise for your fate! He said that the benefactor in your life will soon come to you, and the difficulties of the first half of your life will become a thing of the past, and the future will be filled with happiness!¡±


    Mo Qian was helpless. He turned his head and looked at Mo Ye, sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile, ¡°Grandmaster Yin Yun doesn¡¯t seem like the type of person to say such things. Grandmother, did you make this up? It¡¯s just like the encouraging words of a fraud on the side of the road.¡±


    Mo Ye pursed her lips and smiled, the corner of her eyebrows slightly raised. She looked at Mo Qian and grandma Mo but did not say anything.


    ¡°You little brat, you¡¯re becoming more and more impudent. Do I look like the kind of person who would lie? I think you¡¯re just itching for a beating!¡± Mo Su said as she glared at Mo Qian.


    ¡°Why not, grandma? Have you forgotten how many times you lied to Mo Qian? ¡± Mo Ye took the opportunity to tease her, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on Mo Qian. ¡°Alright, alright. Can we not talk about this nonsense? Let¡¯s cut to the chase and talk about Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury.¡±


    Mo Su looked up at Mo Ye. She knew that Mo Ye was a straightforward person. After sighing in her heart, she looked at Mo Ye with dissatisfaction and said, ¡°You still have the nerve to speak, girl. Didn¡¯t you volunteer to find Mo Qian just now? You¡¯ve been gone for so long. Is the car you¡¯re driving a snail?¡±


    Mo Ye heard this and pinched her nose guiltily. She didn¡¯t say anything.


    She would never admit that it had been relatively early when she had arrived at the Ding family. However, when she saw Mo Qian and Zhuang Ming busy dealing with people then, she calmed down and watched this free show with the people around her.


    No one would dislike this kind of exchange of blows, which was why Mo Su¡¯s time was delayed.


    However, she couldn¡¯t tell grandma about this directly, or she would be scolded again.


    Seeing that Mo Ye had gone mute, Mo Su turned to look at Mo Qian with a disapproving expression.


    How could she not know that Mo Qian had changed the topic earlier because he did not want her to mention anything related to the Zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter?

 Chapter 405 - 405 Chapter 205. A Marriage Proposal?

    405 Chapter 205. A Marriage Proposal?


    Mo Su felt a little helpless. She looked at her grandson, who had never been willing to put in any effort when it came to relationships, and she began to sigh in her heart again.


    When she learned about Mo Qian¡¯s special treatment of Zhuang Xian, she had mixed feelings. Firstly, she felt that as the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family, she was not worthy of Mo Qian. Secondly, she was pleased that Mo Qian had found a girl he liked.


    Mo Qian had always been a clean and honest man. He had never had any beautiful women by his side. He was not like his father in this aspect. As long as he had one or two girlfriends, he would not have to worry so much.


    Before Zhuang Xian appeared in Mo Qian¡¯s life, Mo Su had once suspected that her grandson did not like women. Otherwise, why would such an outstanding man like him not have any women by his side?


    Of course, extraordinary existences like Lan Ling were exceptions.


    ¡°I¡¯ve seen the child¡¯s photo. She¡¯s gorgeous and suits you very well.¡± Old Madam Mo sighed slightly before speaking in a gentle and deep voice.


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian raised his eyes to look at her.


    ¡°It¡¯s grandma¡¯s first time seeing you treat a girl so well, so I couldn¡¯t help but pay more attention to her. Don¡¯t think that grandma is annoying. After all, our family¡¯s situation is still extraordinary, and some things have to be guarded against. Of course, I¡¯m fine now.


    I¡¯m not against you liking that child, but she¡¯s too young. She¡¯s only 16 this year, right? If I were to go to the Zhuang family to propose marriage at this time, wouldn¡¯t they sweep me out of the house?¡± As old Madam Mo said this, a hint of worry appeared between her usually dignified and elegant brows as if this matter was very troublesome.


    Mo Ye, sitting at the side and listening to their conversation, did not expect Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian¡¯s relationship to progress so quickly at her grandmother¡¯s place.


    She was a little puzzled and confused. Was it time to talk about marriage?


    Mo Ye looked at Mo Qian. His handsome face was filled with helplessness and a faint dullness.


    This time, Mo Ye knew how the situation had progressed. Mo Qian had probably not caught up with this young lady yet!


    This way, things became quite interesting.


    Mo Ye¡¯s horrible taste in wanting the world to be chaotic began to overflow slowly. ¡°How could that be, grandma? Who are you? You¡¯re the Mo family¡¯s, old Madam. Even if the Zhuang family had a hundred guts, they probably wouldn¡¯t dare to kick you out! Don¡¯t worry, grandma. Remember to let me know when you¡¯re going. I¡¯ll go with you!¡±


    Mo Su nodded as if she agreed with Mo Ye.


    ¡®Three women make a show¡¯. Only two women were in the house, and it was already so lively. Young master Mo, who had no choice but to remain silent, thought this way.


    Mo Qian glanced at Mo Ye, who was winking at him slyly and then turned to look at grandma Mo. He sighed softly and said, ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s talk about this kind of unrelated thing later. You must be tired after flying from T City, right?¡±


    As he asked, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers at the Butler behind him. ¡°Clean up the guest room on the first floor near the garden. It¡¯s inconvenient for grandma to go up and down, so she¡¯ll stay on the first floor! As for you, cousin, you can stay above grandma.¡±


    Mo Ye naturally had nothing against it. She looked at the renovated mansion and was in a good mood. However, the old lady¡¯s expression was not as relaxed as hers.


    The old Madam was not as easy to fool as she was.


    When the Butler heard his young master¡¯s instructions, he quickly bowed and replied, ¡°It¡¯s all ready, young master. It¡¯s the same as when old Madam came over. Don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Mo Su¡¯s eyes were fixed on Mo Qian, and the smile on her face faded a little.


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s refusal to talk, she slowly let out a breath, nodded, and replied softly, ¡°Alright! It¡¯s getting late. It¡¯s good to rest early so that I¡¯ll be more energetic to accompany you to Blue Eagle Base tomorrow. I¡¯m getting on in years, so I need to go to bed early to recuperate.¡±


    As she spoke, she raised her hand and gestured for an old lady who was standing still to come over. Wang Ma! Come and help me to rest.¡±

 Chapter 406 - 406 Chapter 406. Herbal Dish Recipe

    406 Chapter 406. Herbal Dish Recipe


    After Mo Su finished speaking, she stood up slowly and left the sofa.


    Mo Qian looked at the books she had left on the sofa and sighed slightly. He raised his hand and pinched the corner of his eyebrows.


    He knew that grandma would not let him off so quickly!


    By leaving the book behind, wasn¡¯t it because she wanted him to go to the room to talk to her later? She had been using this trick for many years and still didn¡¯t get tired of it. Mo Qian cursed in his heart but had already begun to compromise.


    Mo Ye had seen it too. She smiled silently and comforted him, ¡°Don¡¯t be so conflicted and sad! You¡¯ll have to tell her everything sooner or later. Whether it¡¯s Zhuang Xian or Lan Ling, grandma must know about your body! I¡¯m a little puzzled. Why are you hiding it from us? Zhuang Xian is so pretty; what are you hiding?¡±


    As she spoke, she suddenly reacted and said anxiously, ¡°Oh, right! You haven¡¯t caught up with her, have you? Tsk, useless!¡±


    Mo Qian was so angry that he almost laughed. He tilted his head and squinted at her, saying dangerously, ¡°What do you know? Go back to your room and sleep; no one is more talkative than you every day!¡±


    Looking at his young master¡¯s look as if his tail had been stepped on, Mo Xi couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Although this young Miss was two years older than their young master, her personality was still like a child¡¯s. She always teased their young master about fighting with her.


    He couldn¡¯t feel the childish bickering between young masters and young ladies nor the joy of argument.


    However, looking at the young master¡¯s current state, he was curious. After all, no one dared speak to Mo Qian like this.


    Mo Ye did not mind Mo Qian¡¯s fierce attitude at all. She stood up and looked at him with a smile, boasting, ¡°I¡¯ll sleep! I will not be being ¡®interrogated¡¯ by the old lady anyway. I¡¯m going to the Blue Eagle Base with her tomorrow, so don¡¯t even think about getting rid of me!¡±


    As she said this, she snapped her fingers at Mo Xi and ordered without any politeness, ¡°Please help me bring my luggage over. It should still be in my car.¡±


    Mo Xi nodded respectfully and replied, ¡°Yes, young Miss.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he turned back to look at Mo Qian. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mo Qian.


    ¡°Go; I don¡¯t need you here.¡± Mo Qian gently waved his hand.


    It was getting dark outside the window, and the temperature had dropped. The Butler ordered the kitchen staff to bring out the fresh soup stewed the entire afternoon.


    He brought a bowl to Mo Qian¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I don¡¯t smell any alcohol on you, Young Master. You came back early from the party, so you probably didn¡¯t have a good dinner. Have some soup, Young Master. Auntie¡¯s not greasy, so it¡¯s good to have some at night!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian looked at the soup giving off steam and fragrance. He asked with some doubt, ¡°I¡¯m not even coming back for dinner. Who asked you to make the soup?¡±


    ¡°Oh! This is the medicinal cuisine recipe that Mo Xi brought back before. Because Young Master doesn¡¯t usually eat at home, you haven¡¯t used it. It just so happens that it will be available tomorrow.¡± The Butler heard the young master¡¯s doubt and quickly replied.


    As he spoke, he thought of something and added, ¡°It¡¯s a little strange. I¡¯ve never seen the recipe for this herbal dish before, but it¡¯s delicious after Auntie makes it. The only bad thing is that the soup has to be finished within 10 minutes after it is out of the pot for it to be effective! I think the person who wrote this prescription must be genius enough to think of something like this!¡±


    When the Butler explained, Mo Qian had already understood that this was the supplement recipe that Zhuang Xian had given Mo Xi!


    Because he had never paid attention to any other diet methods other than medicine and acupuncture, even Mo Xi did not dare to disobey him. Medicinal cuisine had always been ignored.


    As he thought of a particular doctor Who was not to be trifled with, her beautiful face filled with anger and dissatisfaction had already appeared in Mo Qian¡¯s mind.


    He felt an inexplicable sense of guilt welling up in his heart. After gently rubbing his nose, he took the bowl from the housekeeper¡¯s hand and leaned closer to the wheelchair. After smelling the fragrance, he slowly drank it.


    The Butler¡¯s feelings were slightly complicated when he saw the medicinal cuisine boiled for so many days finally enter his young master¡¯s mouth for the first time.

 Chapter 407 - 407 Chapter 407. An External Force to Push

    407 Chapter 407. An External Force to Push


    The Mo family¡¯s Villa was huge, but very few people were in the house. It was so cold and empty that only Mo Qian, the proper owner, was there. As the only owner, Mo Qian didn¡¯t like going home, so how could the house be lively?


    The old Butler let out a soft sigh and watched as Mo Qian raised his head and finished the bowl of medicinal cuisine. He stepped forward and took the bowl, asking, ¡°Do you still want to use it, young Master?¡±


    Mo Qian shook his head slightly. After some thought, he said softly, ¡°Remember to remind me to drink this when I get up early tomorrow. You may leave; I don¡¯t need you to serve me anymore!¡±


    The old Butler nodded and replied respectfully, ¡°Yes, young master.¡±


    After speaking, he left with the kitchen lady and the other servants in the living room.


    Mo Qian took a deep breath and lifted his hand to pick up the book on the sofa. Then, he controlled his wheelchair and slowly went towards the room where old lady Mo was resting.


    Zhuang Xian, who had just finished her dinner and was about to return to her tent to rest, had no idea what kind of helpless and awkward situation she would face the next day.


    Old lady Mo and Miss Mo both wanted to look at her well!


    After listening to old Mrs. Mo¡¯s long speech, Mo Qian looked at her helplessly and was a little amused. He said tiredly, ¡°Grandma, I understand what you¡¯re saying, but that¡¯s not how things should be. I like Zhuang Xian, but she¡¯s still too young and hasn¡¯t truly accepted me. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not good for you to go to the Zhuang family so abruptly, right?


    The Zhuang family likes and treasures Zhuang Xian a lot. We need to move them with sincerity, not with power. If we do this, Zhuang Xian might not agree to get engaged to me. You can¡¯t just do whatever you want, can you? Can¡¯t you take it slow?¡±


    Mo Qian realized that his understanding of his grandmother had been too shallow. He had never thought the old lady would be so fierce and direct!


    Mo Su had taken Mo Ye¡¯s words to heart, and she wanted to go to the Zhuang family to propose marriage on behalf of Mo Qian. She thought it was rare for Mo Qian to like a girl so much, so as his grandmother, she should at least do something, right?


    Even if they had to settle the marriage first, they wouldn¡¯t have to worry about Zhuang Xian going back on her word.


    After hearing Mo Qian¡¯s words, Mo Su¡¯s excitement slowly subsided. She looked at her precious grandson and sighed slightly before asking, ¡°Since you two didn¡¯t promise each other anything, why is Zhuang Xian so good to you? Can she even get Qing Yi to come out of the mountain for you; isn¡¯t that still because she likes you? I don¡¯t understand you guys.¡±


    Mo Su was confused. In her mind, no one would reject Mo Qian, and there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Zhuang Xian was willing to do all this for Mo Qian because she had a motive. Otherwise, why would she be so nice to Mo Qian?


    Then it could only be because she liked her! Zhuang Xian liked Mo Qian. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this clearly.


    ¡°Not long ago, I didn¡¯t understand Zhuang Xian either.¡± A smile appeared on Mo Qian¡¯s face. ¡°She¡¯s an extraordinary girl. I don¡¯t think you can understand her with ordinary thinking. She¡¯s very different from those girls who try to get close to me with ulterior motives. I think she¡¯s never coveted anything from me. I¡¯ve always been the one who took the initiative to get close to her.¡±


    Mo Su looked at Mo Qian in surprise. It had been many years since she had seen Mo Qian tell her his thoughts in such a warm manner.


    When Mo Qian was young, Mo Su hoped he would grow up quickly. However, when Mo Qian grew up and carried the Mo family on his shoulders, Mo Su¡¯s heart was filled with regret and heartache.


    The first half of Mo Qian¡¯s life had been too heartbreaking. Mo Su had hoped that Mo Qian could live a little more blissfully.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been curious about how such a special girl could exist. She¡¯s like a treasure the heavens have given me, bringing me many surprises. I think I¡¯ll always like her! Grandma. I¡¯m not in a hurry to get Zhuang Xian. I want everything to go smoothly. I want her to fall in love with me and marry me willingly, truly! Do you understand?¡± Mo Qian asked.

 Chapter 408 - 408 Chapter 408. The Conversation Between Grandmother and Grandson

    408 Chapter 408. The Conversation Between Grandmother and Grandson


    Mo Su was stunned. She had never thought the Mo family would raise such a devoted man like Mo Qian. This was ironic.


    After a long period of silence, he was completely relieved.


    Mo Su smiled and sighed. There was an obscure look in her eyes that mo Qian could not understand. She looked at Mo Qian and nodded, ¡°A0lright, grandma understands! I respect your wishes. However, I still have to remind you that sometimes in love, you can¡¯t give your lover too many options and choices, especially for someone like Zhuang Xian, who has her ideas and is very smart. Your relationship has stagnated; maybe it¡¯s because you need an external force to push it!¡±


    Mo Qian thought about it carefully and smiled noncommittally, but he didn¡¯t say anything.


    There was some tacit understanding between the grandmother and grandson. They took a step back, and the matter was resolved quickly.


    ¡°Alright! I understand what you said. Since you have already dealt with Lan Ling¡¯s matter, I won¡¯t ask for more. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll go with you to the Blue Eagle Base to find Zhuang Xian. I¡¯ll take the opportunity to see this child and ask her about your injury.¡±


    Mo Su saw that Mo Qian was about to speak and immediately raised her hand to interrupt him, ¡°I¡¯ve already decided on this matter. You can¡¯t say anything more! It¡¯s getting late, and you must be tired. Go back and get some rest!¡±


    Mo Qian helplessly looked at the old lady and sighed. He knew that he could not push away the meeting tomorrow. He only hoped that Zhuang Xian would not be angry.


    After all, they had just agreed a few days ago. It seemed too rushed for him to bring the old lady and his sister to see her now.


    It was not just too rushed; it was simply beyond his imagination!


    If Zhuang Xian had known about this in advance, she would have avoided him directly. This kind of sudden meeting with his parents was too scary!


    However, most things in the world were like this. If everything happened according to people¡¯s expectations, what would be the taste of life?


    When the first ray of sunlight shone through the tree¡¯s canopy and onto the tents on the ground, it proved that the new students of Saint Capital University were about to start another day of military training.


    Finally, she didn¡¯t have to see those three hateful people on the team. Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood was unprecedentedly good. She felt that today¡¯s air and sunshine seemed to have become more beautiful.


    Of course, it would be even better if she could ignore the intense gaze of a particular Chief Instructor.


    ¡°Chief Instructor Lei, do you have any instructions for me?¡± Zhuang Xian took a sip of the porridge in her bowl and asked Lei Cheng, who was sitting opposite her, without lifting her head.


    Lei Cheng ate his breakfast in a good mood and smiled at Zhuang Xian, ¡°I was so busy eating last night that I didn¡¯t ask you. How did you make the red braised pork so delicious? My wife likes to eat red braised pork. If you can teach me, I can pay you.¡±


    He had just finished speaking. Zhuang Xian did not have any reaction. Luo Fei, on the other hand, choked on his saliva. He held the table and coughed so hard that the whole team heard him.


    Zhuang Xian turned her head and looked at the squad monitor. She was a little confused and amused.


    Luo Fei noticed that everyone was looking at him. His snickering face immediately darkened. ¡°What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat; there¡¯s still a big march later! Turn your heads around!¡±


    The students subconsciously retracted their gazes, but they still looked in this direction from the corner of their eyes. After all, their vice squad monitor was ¡®blocked¡¯ at the table by the squad monitor and Chief Instructor again.


    Why did he say again?


    That was naturally because of the all-meat banquet yesterday!


    They were still drooling when they thought about the delicious food they had eaten yesterday! The vice squad monitor¡¯s cooking skills were comparable to the level of a head chef in a grand hotel. The food she made was delicious!


    They could not understand how someone could be as perfect as Zhuang Xian. If one could marry her, one would be so happy that he would wake up laughing from his dreams.


    Many boys had such thoughts, and even many female students had the same ideas!


    Suddenly, the love for Zhuang Xian from the students of Team A could almost surge into the sea.

 Chapter 409 - 409 Chapter 409. Red Braised Pork

    409 Chapter 409. Red Braised Pork


    Luo Fei naturally did not know what the students were thinking. However, when he turned around, Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze. The expression on her face did not change much, but a slight smile was on the corner of her mouth. ¡°Chief Instructor Lei is asking me about the secrets of cooking. Squad monitor, what are you so excited about?¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s eyes were also full of smiles. He looked at Zhuang Xian, then at Luo Fei, and finally, his eyes fell on Lei Cheng¡¯s face. He raised his somewhat unruly eyebrows and smiled, ¡°Instructor Lei, you¡¯ve asked the right question. Our vice squad monitor¡¯s cooking attainment can be said to be superb and invincible! Whoever gets to eat her cooking will be blessed for a lifetime!¡±


    In the next second, as Li Qin finished speaking, Zhuang Xian gave him a tight slap.


    ¡°Sister Xian, why did you hit me? It hurts!¡±


    Zhuang Xian calmly retracted her hand and looked at Lei Cheng and Luo Fei. She said softly, ¡°Squad monitor, Chief Instructor Lei! Don¡¯t listen to Li Qin¡¯s nonsense. I only know how to make a few home-cooked dishes. It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Lei Cheng with a smile. ¡°Chief Instructor Lei, if you want to learn red braised meat, you can. I will tell you all my secrets in a while. I guarantee you will surprise your wife when you go back and cook this dish.¡±


    Lei Cheng was overjoyed and nodded, ¡°That¡¯s great! Zhuang Xian, what do you want in return?¡±


    Zhuang Xian laughed. ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. Why should I want a reward? You and the squad monitor are too polite. You want to give people rewards at the drop of a hat!¡±


    Luo Fei was smilingly eating his breakfast when Zhuang Xian suddenly mentioned him.


    ¡°It¡¯s so hard to listen to you guys talk!¡± Li Qin raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly, but he said boldly, ¡°It¡¯s such a small matter, yet you still have to thank me! But come to think of it, Chief Instructor Lei, you¡¯re so young. When did you get married? You don¡¯t look like you have a wife.¡±


    ¡°I mean, you look very young!¡± Feeling the gaze from the person beside him, Li Qin subconsciously tried to make up for it and successfully prevented Zhuang Xian from giving him another slap.


    Zhuang Xian realized that Li Qin¡¯s mood today was perfect. He was not usually as active as he was now and did not speak without restraint like this.


    Lei Cheng didn¡¯t care about these things. He only felt that Li Qin was praising him. He thought of his wife and smiled in a good mood. He said with a good temper, ¡°What does my marriage have to do with you? Don¡¯t meddle in my business!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian and smiled. ¡°Alright, then, I won¡¯t stand on ceremony with you. We¡¯re acquaintances anyway, and we¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities to get together in the future! I¡¯m slightly older than Mo Qian so you can call me brother Cheng privately. When your sister-in-law comes to City H, I¡¯ll bring her to see you guys.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was caught off guard by the sudden change in the topic.


    What the hell is this? Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Lei Cheng in surprise. She did not expect Lei Cheng to have such a personality. His straightforwardness was too outrageous.


    Nothing was going on between her and Mo Qian! Why was it that it was as if she had already become Mo Qian¡¯s when it came to Lei Cheng?


    After the initial shock and confusion, Zhuang Xian only felt that it was a little funny, or rather, a little embarrassing. Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t too sure. After clearing her throat, she added, ¡°I¡¯ll call you Chief Instructor Lei. We¡¯ll talk about future matters in the future.¡±


    Lei Cheng was a straightforward and cheerful person. He thought that Zhuang Xian was embarrassed in front of so many people, so he made an understanding expression and nodded at her. ¡°Sure! I understand. I won¡¯t mention it now. We¡¯ll talk about it in the future! Hahaha.¡±


    Lei Cheng did not understand what she meant, so Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly. There was even a hint of bitterness in her smile.


    This was the second time that Zhuang Xian had been so helpless and speechless in the past few minutes.


    Luo Fei did not quite understand the riddles between Zhuang Xian and Lei Cheng. He looked at them curiously and strangely but missed the interesting expressions on Li Qin and Lin Feng¡¯s faces.

 Chapter 410 - 410 Chapter 410. The Bumpy Road of Love

    410 Chapter 410. The Bumpy Road of Love


    Li Qin felt he understood Lei Cheng¡¯s words but was still confused. What did he mean by ¡®anyway, we¡¯re already acquaintances¡¯? What did he mean by ¡®I¡¯m a little older than Mo Qian¡¯? Who was this Mo Qian? Why did it seem like he was very close to Lei Cheng and his sister Xian?


    Why did it sound like his sister Xian had an ambiguous relationship with this Mo Qian?


    Lei Cheng said he would bring his wife to see ¡®you¡¯; did that mean he had already seen them as a couple?


    Li Qin began to doubt himself. Did he suddenly not understand his mother tongue? If not, why could he hear every word that Lei Cheng said but could not understand it?


    He looked straight at Zhuang Xian as if he was trying to find something on her face to prove his suspicions.


    It was okay if he wasn¡¯t serious, but as he looked at her, he noticed something very different. Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was a little nervous and slightly flustered as if someone had suddenly seen through her.


    Li Qin could confirm his suspicions by looking at his sister Xian¡¯s slightly blushing face. Putting aside who Mo Qian was, he felt something very wrong with Zhuang Xian!


    He didn¡¯t know if Zhuang Xian liked the Mo Qian that Lei Cheng spoke of, but it should at least be to the extent that she cared about him.


    Zhuang Xian cared a lot about Mo Qian, which was why she looked uncomfortable after Lei Cheng said those words. If it weren¡¯t for the person she cared about, Zhuang Xian wouldn¡¯t have had such a strong reaction.


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian in shock. The curiosity and doubt in his heart just now slowly turned into an inexplicable sadness and unwillingness.


    Before this, he had never heard Zhuang Xian mention anything about Mo Qian. Li Qin was utterly unfamiliar with this man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    Moreover, seeing how sister Xian treated Mo Qian differently, it probably didn¡¯t happen overnight. This incident occurred even earlier when he wasn¡¯t around, which meant that it happened before sister Xian disguised herself as Yan An and pretended to work with the Ye Corporation.


    Li Qin¡¯s hand that was holding his chopsticks suddenly froze. As if he had lost all his strength, he slowly propped himself up on the table in front of him, as if his soul had lost its color.


    Zhuang Xian noticed Li Qin¡¯s strange behavior and looked at him. Her smart brain immediately understood that Li Qin had been shocked by Lei Cheng¡¯s words.


    In fact, towards Lei Cheng¡¯s unique way of thinking and his conversation style, as the person involved, Zhuang Xian, were also affected. Li Qin was not the only ¡®victim¡¯!


    Zhuang Xian had no choice but to poke Li Qin¡¯s thigh under the table. Seeing that he had turned his head to look at her, she mouthed, telling him she¡¯ll explain the matter to him later.


    Li Qin sighed deeply. He decided to give his sister Xian some face and see how she would explain it to him later.


    Lei Cheng also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange. He looked at the students, who had suddenly become silent.


    The smiles on everyone¡¯s faces were gone, especially the two boys sitting on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left!


    Lin Feng seemed to be completely stunned. The expression on his face froze for a long time before it slowly eased. However, the aura around him fell into a very bleak and low state, but it also seemed to be trying to hide something, so it appeared remarkably abrupt and awkward.


    At the very least, it was to the extent that outsiders could tell with a single glance that there was something very wrong with him.


    Zhang Yang looked at his brother worriedly. His eyes were filled with worry and confusion. He reached out his hand and patted Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder, giving Lin Feng some comfort and strength.


    His hands were in a gesture to comfort Lin Feng, but in his heart, he was cursing madly. What the hell is this? Yesterday, he had worked hard to help his brother get rid of a love rival, and before he could even spend half a day waiting to be happy, another powerful opponent appeared!


    Furthermore, it was someone with the surname Mo. People with the surname Mo in City H were all rich and powerful! Lin Feng¡¯s family background was not particularly outstanding. How could he compete with others?


    Zhang Yang sighed helplessly as he thought about all these terrible things. Lin Feng¡¯s love life was bumpy!

 Chapter 411 - 411 Chapter 411. The Big Field Training Begins

    411 Chapter 411. The Big Field Training Begins


    However, Zhang Yang thought about it and felt there was nothing wrong with how things were developing. After all, the person his brother liked was Zhuang Xian!


    With this thought, he felt at ease.


    Luo Fei glanced at Lin Feng and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you look so pale all of a sudden? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?¡±


    Lin Feng shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m fine, squad monitor. Maybe I didn¡¯t rest well last night, so I¡¯m a little out of it today. I¡¯ll be fine after some rest.¡±


    Luo Fei was silent for a while before slowly nodding and said, ¡°Alright, then you should quickly adjust yourself after breakfast! In the future, our field training will be very intense. After today and tomorrow, you can be considered to have passed a node. The training schedule in the future will be easier.¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Lei Cheng, who was beside him, and his eyes seemed more relaxed.


    Lei Cheng looked at him indifferently and then retracted his eyes. His not-so-bright brain was still thinking about why the atmosphere on the field had suddenly changed.


    This small episode would not affect today¡¯s training.


    After breakfast, Luo Fei quickly organized his team and led the students from Team A to start today¡¯s field training.


    Although it was called field training, it was just another form of hiking. The environment changed from a forest and mountain to a muddy road.


    Li Qin was happy that it wasn¡¯t the rainy season now. Looking at the weather these two days, it didn¡¯t look like it was going to rain. Their mud field training would probably be hell if there were a little rain.


    The morning sun was still warm, hanging lazily on the students¡¯ heads, exuding a rhythmic vitality.


    Lei Cheng looked at the students gathered on the muddy road and nodded in satisfaction. In the beginning, these children had been against him everywhere and caused him daily trouble. They had been ¡®ravaged¡¯ by the daily high-intensity training and the squad monitors¡¯ ruthless hands.


    All of them had gotten a lot darker and stronger. They looked ruddy and healthier than before.


    The most significant change in the middle of this was not these very external things; the light in their eyes became more tenacious and strong.


    The old saying was right. It was necessary to make the children suffer a little and let them become better through these superficial hardships. Only then would they truly understand the good intentions of the teachers in the school and the military instructors.


    Lei Cheng sighed in his heart. He raised his hand to signal Luo Fei that they could set off.


    From their current position, they could reach the Blue Eagle Base before eight o ¡®clock that night. This was an inconspicuous test in the middle of military training. It all depended on whether these children could think of it.


    The sun hung high in the sky. Luo Fei was leading the 47 students from Team A at the forefront. Their team¡¯s current results were the best among the freshmen, so they were the most suitable to open up a path for everyone.


    Li Qin had been watching Zhuang Xian closely since breakfast. Now, he saw that the students around him were all walking on the muddy road in a scattered manner. They did not care much about the formation; as long as they maintained a roughly straight line, it would be fine.


    Zhuang Xian could feel Li Qin¡¯s intense gaze on her right. She sighed helplessly and said softly, ¡°How long will you keep staring at me? Don¡¯t you find it annoying?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s there to be annoyed about? I¡¯m not annoyed! As long as sister Xian explains everything about Mo Qian, I promise I won¡¯t bother you anymore!¡± Li Qin said in a weird tone, his mouth pouting so much that it seemed like a kettle could be hung on it.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had started to play dead again, pretending that she did not hear what he had said, Li Qin snorted coldly. ¡°You already promised me that you would make things clear to me. Why are you going back on your word now? Sister Xian, when did you learn how to turn your back on me? Don¡¯t play dead; tell me the truth!¡±


    Looking at Li Qin on the right, frowning at her coldly, Zhuang Xian was speechless.

 Chapter 412 - 412 Chapter 412. Surnamed Mo, Who is it?

    412 Chapter 412. Surnamed Mo, Who is it?


    Zhuang Xian realized that since she had hidden it from Li Qin the last time, Li Qin¡¯s attitude towards her had become more and more fearless.


    In the past, Li Qin would never talk to her like this. Most of the time, she was the one who ignored Li Qin. But now, it was the opposite. Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t understand the reason. She only knew that she felt a lot of helplessness toward Li Qin.


    She let out a light sigh and looked at the road ahead. Her brows furrowed slightly as she said in a low voice, ¡°What do you want me to explain? Nothing is going on between Mo Qian and me! He had business dealings with my father before, but they weren¡¯t very close. After that, I pitied his injured leg, so I wanted to help him treat it. A doctor¡¯s benevolence is the motto of our Valley. I can¡¯t bear it, that¡¯s all.¡±


    Li Qin stared at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile, his eyes gleaming. He snorted and said, ¡°Is that all? What you¡¯ve said is very different from what Chief Instructor Lei said! Why are you hiding this from me? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m jealous of you, and I don¡¯t talk nonsense to others. What¡¯s there to be ashamed of? Where did this Mo Qian come from? Where does he live? Is he a good person?


    From what Chief Instructor Lei said, he must like you. He acknowledged your status in front of his brothers, and you didn¡¯t deny anything. If this isn¡¯t liking, then what is it?¡±


    Hearing Li Qin¡¯s loud voice, Zhuang Xian felt a little helpless. She confusedly retorted, ¡°What do you mean he acknowledged my status? What position do I have? Can you stop spouting nonsense? We¡¯re not even sure of anything yet!¡±


    When she finished her last sentence, Li Qin was already looking at her with bright eyes.


    Li Qin took over the conversation excitedly and said, ¡°What does ¡®nothing¡¯s confirmed yet¡¯ mean? There aren¡¯t any for now, but there might be in the future, right? And you still say you don¡¯t like Mo Qian? Sister Xian, you¡¯re lying!¡±


    ¡°Sister Xian, don¡¯t try to argue! Please hurry up and answer my question! Who is this, Mo Qian? Why didn¡¯t I hear you mention him before? What does his family do for a living?¡± Li Qin, who felt he had something on Zhuang Xian, asked excitedly.


    However, as he asked, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian with wide eyes and asked, ¡°Sister Xian, you said Mo Qian knows your father, right? That is why he is from the business circle and is friends with a high-ranking officer like Lei Cheng! His status is not low! Are there many people like this in City H? He wouldn¡¯t ¡­ Could he be the person I¡¯m thinking of?¡±


    Li Qin felt his heart beating extremely fast, and his feet paused for a moment. The student who was following behind him almost hit his military bag.


    The student asked doubtfully, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Qin? Why did you suddenly stop?¡±


    Li Qin quickly came back to his senses and looked at the team in front of him that had gone ahead. He hurriedly replied that it was nothing and then jogged a few steps to catch up.


    Zhuang Xian had no intention of stopping to wait for Li Qin. Seeing that they had caught up, she continued with Li Qin¡¯s words, ¡°Who are you thinking of? Are there many people with the surname Mo in City H? Isn¡¯t there only the Mo Financial Group?¡±


    ¡°Heavens! Sister Xian, this Mo Qian you¡¯re talking about, could he be the Mo Qian from the Mo family? Mo Qian of the Mo Financial Group? When did you two hook up? My God, sister Xian, you¡¯ve found yourself a real rich husband!¡± Li Qin¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock and disbelief.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she furrowed her brows, feeling speechless. She thought about it for a long time but could not think of anything to say to refute Li Qin. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Mo Qian was rich, and he was a rich man¡¯s son-in-law in the eyes of many.


    Li Qin couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud when he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s hesitant look. This was the first time he had seen Zhuang Xian so angry that she didn¡¯t even have the energy to talk back.


    ¡°I should have known it was him! Look at my brain; I didn¡¯t even think about him! Sister Xian, you¡¯re right. In the entire City H, how many people have the surname Mo? It was my negligence, haha!¡±

 Chapter 413 - 413 Chapter 413. Im Going to Promote it

    413 Chapter 413. I¡¯m Going to Promote it


    As Li Qin spoke, he seemed to nod in satisfaction. The smile at the corner of his mouth was somewhat uncontrollable. He seemed to have forgotten that he was still sulking over this matter.


    ¡°This brother-in-law is not bad! I like him!¡± Li Qin said.


    Zhuang Xian almost laughed out of anger at Li Qin¡¯s stupidity. She helplessly turned her head to look at Li Qin, thought for a moment, and compromised, ¡°Now that you know, are you satisfied? This matter is a little complicated, not as simple as you think. Bury it in your heart first, and don¡¯t go around spreading it, understand?¡±


    When Li Qin saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression, he felt it strange. However, he still nodded his head. He wanted to see Zhuang Xian happy, but if Zhuang Xian had so many concerns, he had to pay more attention to her feelings.


    ¡°It¡¯s a secret, for now, right? I understand! I won¡¯t tell anyone else!¡± He made a promise, but his eyes flashed with a cunning light.


    He moved closer to Zhuang Xian and said with a deep smile, ¡°Then Let¡¯s make a deal. I¡¯ll keep this a secret for you, but if there are any developments between you and Mo Qian, you have to tell me immediately! How is that? If you promise me, I¡¯ll keep it a secret for you. Otherwise, I¡¯ll go out on the streets and announce Mo Qian is my brother-in-law!¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t reply and only glanced at Li Qin.


    With just one look, Li Qin almost immediately felt a dangerous aura. He cleared his throat, straightened his back, and left Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. He said in a fawning tone, ¡°Sister Xian, I was joking. You can¡¯t be angry, right? ¡±


    Li Qin and Zhuang Xian had been friends for quite some time, so how could he not know his sister Xian¡¯s temper?


    If his sister Xian looked at someone coldly and expressionlessly like before, she was building up her patience. At this time, it was best not to provoke her.


    It wasn¡¯t like Li Qin had never seen Zhuang Xian when she was furious. He didn¡¯t want to go through that consequence again. It was unbearable.


    Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t flirted with you in a while. I think you¡¯re itching for a beating! Until the end of the march, you¡¯re not allowed to talk and bother me, or else ¡­ I¡¯ll teach you some moves tonight and see if your Kung Fu has improved.¡±


    A wise man submits to circumstances. Li Qin was well aware of this principle.


    He immediately pursed his lips, raised his hand, and made a zipping gesture, indicating that he would keep his mouth shut. He also put his hands together, hoping that Zhuang Xian would be magnanimous. This suggestion of a sparring competition should be put on hold for now!


    He didn¡¯t want to work himself to death today. After a whole day of field training, he didn¡¯t want to be beaten up by sister Xian using the suggestion of a sparring session. He didn¡¯t have masochistic tendencies, so he forgot about this.


    Li Qin¡¯s slacking skills were so skilled and outstanding because Zhuang Xian had tortured him in the past. These ¡®feeding moves¡¯ and ¡®sparring¡¯ was just an excuse that sister Xian had come up with to beat him up!


    Previously, when Zhuang Xian was training under Li Zhen¡¯s command, Li Qin often followed behind them to learn. In any case, he was often bullied by these two.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Li Qin¡¯s cowardly appearance and smiled in amusement. She laughed and scolded, ¡°Since you know you¡¯re in the wrong, get lost!¡±


    Li Qin nodded and obediently returned to his position.


    Luo Fei had been following them at a constant speed. He was in the middle of the team, so he naturally saw Zhuang Xian and Li Qin talking. However, as long as it did not affect the team¡¯s progress and training, he could turn a blind eye to it!


    Only people like Zhuang Xian and Li Qin, who had extreme physical strength and endurance, could be so calm and relaxed in this long-distance and boring training.


    While the others were already gasping for breath, the two could even chat while leading the team forward without panting. This was a pronounced difference.

 Chapter 414 - 414 Chapter 414. A Direct Punch

    414 Chapter 414. A Direct Punch


    Luo Fei retracted his gaze and looked at the students strolling as if they were taking a stroll. He was so angry that he scolded, ¡°Why are you all acting like you¡¯re about to die? What do you want? Hurry up and run! Hurry up and keep up. If the people from the other teams catch up to you later, you¡¯ll be embarrassed! All of you follow me!¡±


    They had only run for half an hour, and these children had started to slack off again. This was not good! Luo Fei¡¯s soldiers had to be brave and promising. Otherwise, he would lose face.


    As Luo Fei thought about this, he waved the branch several times. When he saw the lazy students strolling, he gave them a heavy smack. It did not hurt to hit the butt anyway.


    Just like that, they continued to move forward. The sun was slowly hanging in the sky. The hot temperature roasted the mud road and the new students walking on the mud road.


    Lin Feng reached out to wipe the sweat off his face, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian. She did not look like she was in a good mood.


    Zhang Yang looked at him from the side and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He said in a low voice, ¡°What do you think Brother Qin and Sister Xian were talking about?¡± He said it so happily! ¡°When we set off just now, Brother Qin¡¯s expression was just as dark as yours. It¡¯s only been a while, and Brother Qin seems to have changed into a completely different person. Look at that evil smile on his face!¡±


    Lin Feng sighed softly but did not say anything. He just kept moving forward with his head down.


    Zhang Yang saw that Lin Feng was sulking. After thinking for a while, he continued, ¡°In my opinion, you don¡¯t have to suppress yourself like this. You should go up and confess to sister Xian. If it¡¯s a success, then it¡¯s a success. If it¡¯s not, then you should try harder!


    This is how relationships are. Who will know what you think if you don¡¯t take the initiative to say it? Rather than wallowing in self-pity, you might as well throw a punch! At least you can let sister Xian know you like her, don¡¯t you think?¡±


    Lin Feng heard Zhang Yang¡¯s words and turned his head to look at him. His sunny handsome face was full of confusion, ¡°You say it so easily, so you don¡¯t need to confess! Didn¡¯t you hear what Chief Instructor Lei said this morning? Zhuang Xian must have someone she likes! Besides, when have you ever seen me wallow in self-pity? Can you not talk nonsense!¡±


    ¡°No, how can you say that? When did sister Xian say she has someone she likes?¡± Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his senses and asked anxiously. His face was filled with confusion.


    Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and sighed deeply. He said in a low voice, ¡°If she doesn¡¯t have any feelings for the person instructor Lei mentioned, would she not clarify and reject him? Sister Xian isn¡¯t the kind who would allow the things around her to remain unclear! Didn¡¯t you notice the strange look on her face when she heard instructor Lei mention that person?


    I think Zhuang Xian likes that person. Even if she doesn¡¯t like him, it must be someone important to her!¡±


    Zhang Yang listened to Lin Feng¡¯s analysis and felt he could not understand the situation. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and patted Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder. He comforted Lin Feng gently, ¡°I understand your concerns, but sister Xian didn¡¯t say those things herself! You didn¡¯t ask, so how can you be so sure? I feel you¡¯re not like yourself anymore when you¡¯re so timid in front of sister Xian! You weren¡¯t like this in the past!¡±


    As he spoke, he smiled at Lin Feng, his eyes full of support and determination. ¡°You used to say that if you met a girl you liked in the future, you would treat her well with all your heart. But why did you back out at the critical moment? Pull yourself together, brother! It would be strange if no one competed with you to pursue an outstanding girl like sister Xian. However, I¡¯ll always be behind you no matter your decision!¡±


    Lin Feng would lie if he said that Zhang Yang¡¯s long-winded speech did not touch him. He smiled gently and looked at Zhang Yang with moved eyes. He nodded and said, let me think about it. After all, Zhuang Xian is no ordinary girl.

 Chapter 415 - 415 Chapter 415. You Have to Listen to me

    415 Chapter 415. You Have to Listen to me


    Zhang Yang grinned and gave him an ¡°OK¡± gesture. He then raised his shoulder and nudged Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°That¡¯s good enough, be happy!¡±


    Lin Feng took a deep breath and nodded, silently rousing his spirit.


    Zhang Yang did not know about this yet. After persuasion, he played a matchmaker for Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian. What about the relationship between Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian?


    Because an old woman had come to the Mo family, the kitchen had specially prepared many easily digestible dishes for lunch.


    Mo Su looked at the sumptuous dishes and smiled with relief. She turned to Mo Qian and said gently, ¡°Grandma¡¯s good grandson is still so considerate. I haven¡¯t been here long, but you remember what I like to eat. It¡¯s worth it for grandma to like you so much!¡±


    Listening to the old lady¡¯s love for him, Mo Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled helplessly, ¡°Hurry up and eat, grandma. I have a crucial meeting to attend in the afternoon! After settling the company¡¯s business, we can only leave for the Blue Eagle Base.¡±


    As he spoke, he picked up some food for Mo Su and said softly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to test me anymore. I agree to let you come, but you must listen to me, just like I told you yesterday.¡±


    Sitting opposite Mo Qian, Mo Ye looked at the grandmother-grandson pair in confusion. She took a sip of the hot soup and asked, ¡°What are you two talking about? I shouldn¡¯t have missed anything yesterday, right? How come I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying? I¡¯ll say this first before we meet Zhuang Xian later, I¡¯m going with her. Mo Qian, don¡¯t even think about abandoning me. ¡±


    Mo Ye¡¯s eyes glowed as she stared at the person opposite her. It was as if she was going to kill her brother with her eyes if he said something she didn¡¯t want to hear.


    Mo Qian looked up at Mo Ye, a hint of helplessness flashing through his eyes. He nodded and replied, ¡°I can, but the conditions are the same as above! You and grandma have to listen to me. If you can do it, I¡¯ll take you there.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? Alright, I¡¯ll agree!¡± Mo Ye said straightforwardly. Her face was like a hero among women, making old Mrs. Mo frown and impatiently turn her head away.


    Mo Su sighed slightly. Who would like her granddaughter¡¯s silly look? Why was she so worried about her only two grandchildren¡¯s marriage? It would be great if she could see Mo Qian and Mo Ye living happily.


    The Zhuang family.


    The Butler, Uncle Chang, walked briskly from the front hall to the living room. He looked at Lin En, who was drinking tea, and said with a smile, ¡°Madam, you should go out and look. The young master has returned from his business trip! He should be at the front door by now.¡±


    Lin En was drinking tea when she suddenly heard the news. She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, ¡°What? Who¡¯s back?¡±


    Uncle Chang looked at Lin En¡¯s expression and chuckled. He repeated what he had just said, ¡°Young master! He has returned from abroad and has brought many gifts in his car! Madam, don¡¯t you want to go and take a look?¡±


    This time, Lin En finally heard it. She stood up abruptly, and her beautiful face was smiling like a blooming flower. ¡°How could he be so fast? Didn¡¯t he say that he would be busy for a while? Why did he suddenly come back? I haven¡¯t seen him in a long time, so I have to go and welcome him!¡±


    Looking at Lin En, who was so happy that she wanted to run out, Uncle Chang shook his head and laughed, then followed her.


    Zhuang Bai was standing outside the front hall¡¯s main door with his suit jacket on his arm. He was instructing the servants to move the things down from the car.


    He saw that a servant¡¯s hands were not steady, so he quickly rushed over and reached out to help him. ¡°Be careful; this thing is a little heavy. I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t move it alone. Find someone else to help you!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned his head to the side and motioned for more servants to come over and help.

 Chapter 416 - 416 Chapter 416. Big Brother Returns

    416 Chapter 416. Big Brother Returns


    The servant, who had almost dropped the box, was so scared that his face had turned pale.


    He subconsciously looked up at Zhuang Bai and saw that his eldest young master was still as tall and sturdy as ever, with a gentle and steady temperament. His words were even more gentle than usual. He could not help but lose his mind as he sighed in his heart. The men in the Zhuang family were too superior. No one could compare to them!


    Zhuang Bai looked very similar to Zhuang Ming. It was as if the father and son were carved from the same mold. However, the aura on his body was sharper than Zhuang Ming¡¯s. Zhuang Ming was the one who was genuinely smooth and gentle.


    Young master Zhuang had been away for almost two months on this business trip. He had missed out on many things at home, especially Zhuang Xian coming over to the Zhuang family. He had heard the Zhuang family and Zhuang Xiang talk about it for a long time, and he had been looking forward to meeting his sister!


    He knew that Zhuang Xian¡¯s arrival had resolved many years of Lin En¡¯s regrets and heartache. He was very grateful to this sister of his. This time, when he returned from abroad, he brought many gifts for her to make her happy.


    Lin En quickly came out of the room to greet him. When she saw Zhuang Bai¡¯s tall and strong back, she was overjoyed and called out loudly, ¡°Xiao Bai! Heavens! My son, you¡¯re finally back. I¡¯ve missed you so much!¡±


    Mrs. Zhuang rushed to her eldest son, a head taller than her, and hugged him, her face full of joy and excitement.


    Hearing Lin En¡¯s call, Zhuang Bai quickly turned around, and in the next second, his mother bumped into him.


    He smiled helplessly and lowered his head to hug Lin En back. He chuckled and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree before that you won¡¯t call me by my nickname in front of others? Did you forget again?¡±


    Lin En hugged her eldest son. She was pleased, and her eyes were shining.


    She withdrew from Zhuang Bai¡¯s arms and looked up at him. With a reproachful smile, she said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the name Xiao Bai? Every time I call you that, you have an awkward expression. What¡¯s wrong with that? It¡¯s so nice to hear!¡±


    She took Zhuang Bai¡¯s arm and pulled him into the house. Without waiting for his reply, she continued, ¡°The last time I talked to you, didn¡¯t you say that you had something to settle? I thought you¡¯d have to delay it for another ten days to half a month. I didn¡¯t expect you to come back so early! This is great!


    What do you want to eat tonight? Your father isn¡¯t busy today. I think he¡¯ll be back soon. Your second brother is with him! Zhuang Huai had joined the production team for filming and probably wouldn¡¯t be back for a while. Xian ¡®er hasn¡¯t left the city yet, but we can¡¯t get into the Blue Eagle Base. Her training is almost over, so you¡¯ll see her soon.¡±


    Lin En held Zhuang Bai¡¯s arm and pulled him to the sofa to sit down. She kept telling him about the whereabouts of the other members of the family.


    Recently, Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Huai had not been home, so the house seemed a little deserted.


    Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Ming were busy with the company¡¯s affairs all day, and no one in the house could talk to her. This bored Mrs. Zhuang to death. Now that she saw her eldest son, couldn¡¯t she say she had enough?


    Zhuang Bai smiled as he listened to his mother¡¯s nagging, feeling warm in his heart. Not only did Lin En miss him, but he also missed the rest of his family, especially his lively and cheerful mother.


    After listening to Lin En¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai nodded slightly and replied, ¡°That¡¯s good. I should be able to stay in the country this time. The situation overseas has stabilized. As long as there are no major accidents or hiccups, I don¡¯t need to do anything. I can stay at home and accompany you, mom!¡±


    Lin En was very surprised and said happily, ¡°Really? That¡¯s great! When Zhuang Huai returns, our family can be together again! I¡¯m so happy today!¡±


    Zhuang Bai looked at his mother, who was still so excited, and he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. However, a vague sense of guilt still welled up in his heart.


    He knew that his mother liked to live together as a family, but in the past year, he had often been away from his family for the development of the overseas company branch.


    He was a calm, meticulous, and considerate person. During this period when he was abroad, he often reflected on himself and felt that he had neglected his family enough.

 Chapter 417 - 417 Chapter 417. Zhuang Bai

    417 Chapter 417. Zhuang Bai


    Money could consistently be earned, but how could they buy back the time of passing of their loved ones? When he saw Lin En just now, he also noticed a thin line at the corner of Lin En¡¯s eye.


    His mother had always loved to look pretty. She had been beautiful since she was young. Now that time had passed, she had slowly gained the aura of time. Because of this, her temperament had become more gentle and heavy. Her entire person exuded a rich and charming aura from the inside out.


    Zhuang Bai wanted to call his mother¡¯s aura the wisdom accumulated over time. It was rich and light, transparent and bright as if everything could be solved as long as he was by her side.


    Zhuang Bai felt that perhaps it was because he had recently been too tired from work, but he always missed his family for no reason. He always wanted to come back to this home.


    He felt that he was so ¡®sentimental¡¯ because he was too tired.


    Therefore, he planned to rest after this and spend time with his parents and his new little sister!


    Thinking of this, the smile on Zhuang Bai¡¯s face grew. He said, ¡°Mom, what will you make for dinner later? Let me help you.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s make sweet and sour pork ribs. It¡¯s simple and easy. You like it, and so does Xian ¡®er!¡± Lin En replied with a smile. He felt that among his three sons, the eldest, Zhuang Bai, was the most sensible and considerate. ¡°But this dish I make is not as good as Xian ¡®er¡¯s. I don¡¯t know how this little girl can have such good cooking skills at such a young age! The food she makes is delicious. Your father has always been a picky eater, but he loves the pastries she makes! Tsk, tsk, it¡¯s a blessing to have Xian ¡®er in our family!¡±


    Hearing Lin En¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai¡¯s interest was piqued. He thought about the question he had discussed with his mother not long ago and chuckled. ¡°Regarding the 3S VIP card that Lan Wei gave our family, did you explain it to Zhuang Xian? What is going on? I met Mr. Jason a few times, but he never said he would give us such a generous gift. What is his relationship with Zhuang Xian?¡±


    There was a smile on his face, but there was some curiosity and doubt in his eyes.


    Hearing this, Lin En excitedly patted Zhuang Bai¡¯s arm and explained with a smile, ¡°You¡¯ve been busy, so I forgot to tell you about this! Xian ¡®er told me that she had learned how to make desserts from Mr. Jason before, and she knows the person in charge of the Lan Wei western desserts restaurant in China. She saw that your father liked this western desserts restaurant, so she thought of a way to get one for each of us!


    This child is so well-behaved and sensible. She has done such a thing for our family silently and even wants to put the credit on you. If it weren¡¯t for your mother¡¯s keen observation and intelligence, I would have been fooled by her! Why do you think this child is still a little silly?¡±


    Once Lin En started talking about Zhuang Xian, she could not stop.


    Her face was full of relief and happiness. At this moment, Zhuang Bai could also see that the comfort and feeling that Zhuang Xian had given their mother were unparalleled!


    Her mother had already treated Zhuang Xian as her daughter!


    It seemed that many things had happened during his absence.


    He had never seen such a drastic change in his family before, so he was even more curious about his sister, Zhuang Xian.


    He had an idea in his mind. He looked at Lin En and asked, ¡°Mom, do you know which military unit the person in charge of Zhuang Xian¡¯s military training is from? I¡¯ll see if there¡¯s anyone I know.¡±


    ¡°Why are you asking this? What do you want to do?¡± Lin En seemed to have sensed something, but she still asked in confusion.


    Zhuang Bai chuckled and looked at Lin En. ¡°Mom, haven¡¯t you already guessed it? Aren¡¯t you going to make Zhuang Xian¡¯s famous sweet and sour pork ribs tonight? I¡¯ll go to their military training base to see her and take some to her. ¡°

 Chapter 418 - 418 Chapter 418. Using a Sledgehammer to Crack a Nut

    418 Chapter 418. Using a Sledgehammer to Crack a Nut


    ¡°I¡¯ve been to the Blue Eagle Base once, and the food there was just average. Zhuang Xian has been there for a few days, and I think she must miss your cooking.¡±


    Lin En glanced at her unusually considerate son, and the smile on her face could not be concealed.


    She nodded and said, ¡°I know; you¡¯re the most considerate of the three brothers! The Chief Instructor in charge of the Saint Capital University military training seemed to be the captain of the special operations team under the Army¡¯s special combat force. I heard from Xian ¡®er¡¯s homeroom teacher that he has a strong background.¡±


    Zhuang Bai looked at Lin En in shock and asked, ¡°Mom, what did you say? The Army¡¯s special combat force? Is it the Army under old man Li Zhen¡¯s command? How did they get involved with Saint Capital University? Isn¡¯t this a waste of talent? It¡¯s not appropriate. What is the Saint Capital thinking?¡±


    Lin En laughed when she saw Zhuang Bai¡¯s shocked expression. She patted his shoulder and said, ¡°When Zhuang Hang first heard the news, his reaction was even more exaggerated than yours. He kept calling the people from the Saint Capital crazy.


    She smiled and retracted her hand. Then, she continued worriedly, ¡°You¡¯re all right. Using such powerful soldiers to train a group of children is not appropriate. Ai! We¡¯ve gone a little off-topic. Do you have a way to get into the base? They¡¯re all soldiers from the special Combat Team!¡±


    Zhuang Bai chuckled and looked at Lin En. ¡°Let¡¯s try it.¡±


    Lin En knew he already had a plan, so she did not say anything more. She got up and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.


    Zhuang Bai followed Lin En, wanting to make him some delicious food, but Lin En chased him upstairs to take a shower and rest.


    She knew her eldest son must be exhausted after such a long flight. Her heart ached so much that she quickly sent him to rest. She said she would call him when it was time to eat.


    Young master Zhuang smiled helplessly and nodded. He thought about going to Blue Eagle Base later. He lowered his eyes, took out his phone, and made a call.


    7:00 pm, Blue Eagle Base¡¯s training ground.


    Looking at the students who had collapsed on the sand, Lei Cheng was still very pleased. Except for a few students who had not arrived yet, most had completed the field training well.


    Lei Cheng turned on the loudspeaker and said to the students in the sand, ¡°The students who have arrived are all outstanding! The results are better than I expected. Finally, your squad monitors¡¯ hard work these few days wasn¡¯t in vain! Today, our 20-day military training has finally reached a critical point. From now on, the training will be relatively gentler and not as brutal as before!


    All in all, you¡¯ve already gone through the most challenging time! We will organize everyone¡¯s training in this sand field for the next week or so! Your days of eating and sleeping in the open are over! Everyone, are you happy?¡±


    As Zhang Yang listened to Chief Instructor Lei¡¯s lecture, he felt a little suffocated in his heart. He looked at Lin Feng with a depressed face and said softly, ¡°If I didn¡¯t know that I couldn¡¯t beat him, I wanted to go up and give him two punches. How could there be such an instructor who needs a beating? He even asked us if we were happy.¡±


    As he said that, he seemed to be very angry. He glared fiercely at Lei Cheng on the stage and continued to ridicule, ¡°From what he said, it seems that the hardships we¡¯ve been through these past few days were all because of the bitterness before the sweetness. Wuwuwu! What do you think this instructor is thinking? Is he playing with us? Trying to intimidate us?¡±


    As Zhang Yang spoke, he recalled the pain he had gone through in the past few days. He cried out loud, but there were no tears on his face.


    The anger in his heart was more significant than the grief, and a sense of powerlessness from being played around in circles directly rushed into his heart.


    He wasn¡¯t the only one with such complicated and sad emotions. He could tell from the silent and heavy atmosphere in the audience.


    Lin Feng was still thinking about something, but after seeing Zhang Yang¡¯s actions, he could not help but laugh. He shook his head and laughed helplessly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you manage to persevere?¡±

    This is the end of Part One,

 Chapter 419 - 419 Chapter 419. Changing Medicine in The Infirmary

    419 Chapter 419. Changing Medicine in The Infirmary


    ¡°Why are you still pretending to cry? Keep your voice down, don¡¯t let the squad monitor hear you. I can¡¯t stop him from punishing you!¡± Lin Feng glanced at Luo Fei, who was not far away and said with a chuckle.


    Zhang Yang felt what Lin Feng said was very reasonable, so he immediately stopped his fake crying complaints. He turned around and looked at the squad monitor guiltily, but his mouth did not give up, ¡°I¡¯m just a little angry, that¡¯s all. If instructor Lei had reversed the order of the military training, we wouldn¡¯t have ended up in such a sorry state, right? He played us! Can¡¯t I vent my anger a little?¡±


    His voice became softer and softer as he spoke because Luo Fei had already stood up and walked over. Fortunately, the squad monitor did not hear his complaints and was not here for him.


    Zhuang Xian sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree as she watched Luo Fei walk straight toward her. She looked at him and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, squad monitor? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    The gauze on her face had not been changed the whole day. It looked like it was soaked in dust and had turned slightly yellow.


    Luo Fei looked at her and pointed to the wound on her face. He said in a low voice, ¡°After you¡¯re done here, you should go to the infirmary! It¡¯s too hot today, don¡¯t let your wound get infected. A girl¡¯s face is vital, don¡¯t leave a scar.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian smiled and nodded, ¡°I understand, class monitor. Thank you.¡±


    Luo Fei nodded. When he looked at the podium, he heard Lei Cheng¡¯s order to disband.


    He let out a breath and said softly, ¡°Quickly go! There shouldn¡¯t be any orders to assemble tonight. You guys should rest well. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll start to organize your military posture and appearance.¡±


    After saying that, he stood up and looked around at the other students. ¡°You guys should still remember the dormitories you were assigned earlier, right? Hurry up and go back to wash up; you¡¯re all so stinky that you don¡¯t even look human! I¡¯m dizzy just by smelling it!¡±


    Li Qin listened to the squad monitor¡¯s mocking words and retorted, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Squad monitor, you¡¯re not bad! You should smell yourself first!¡±


    Luo Fei glared at Li Qin and pretended to chase after him. Li Qin was so scared that he ran away.


    As Zhuang Xian watched, she shook her head and laughed. She stood up from the ground without even touching the ground with her hands.


    Luo Fei¡¯s worry was not without reason. Zhuang Xian had already felt her wound itch this afternoon.


    On the one hand, the wound was healing and growing flesh. On the other hand, the inflammation in the hot weather was also another.


    The things on her hands were still in the dormitory, so the wound over the past two days had only been treated with simple disinfection. It was indeed necessary to go to the infirmary now. At least she needed to find a doctor to get some anti-inflammatory medicine.


    As she thought about this, Zhuang Xian walked towards the infirmary. Almost all the students were fighting for a place to shower, so few people were in the infirmary.


    The doctor took off the gauze on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face and looked at her. She couldn¡¯t help but frown and chat with her, ¡°Don¡¯t let your wound come into contact with water! Take some anti-inflammatory medicine to promote wound healing in the next few days. Such a beautiful little face, don¡¯t leave a scar! How could you be so careless during military training? Are there any other injuries on your body?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned her face to the side, allowing the doctor to treat her wound. She said softly, ¡°No other injuries, thank you!¡±


    The military doctor was a very gentle woman. She looked at Zhuang Xian and smiled, ¡°Do you kids nowadays speak so simply? Who¡¯s your squad monitor? Tell me; I might know who it is.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian raised her eyes and looked at her suspiciously. After a few seconds, she asked, ¡°Why are you asking this?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand! I just wanted to have a casual chat with him!¡± As the female doctor spoke, she swiftly bandaged Zhuang Xian¡¯s wound and looked at her apologetically.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her, got up, and thanked her. Then, she took medicine and left.


    For some reason, she felt that this female military doctor was acting very strange. One must always be wary of others, and Zhuang Xian did not want to waste her breath on strangers.

 Chapter 420 - 420 Chapter 420. Lin Fengs Confession

    420 Chapter 420. Lin Feng¡¯s Confession


    When Zhuang Xian walked out of the infirmary, she immediately saw Lin Feng at the bottom of the stairs. She walked over to him with some confusion. Seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, she asked softly, ¡°What are you doing in the infirmary? I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve been injured these past two days. Are you feeling uncomfortable?¡±


    Lin Feng was startled by the voice behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Zhuang Xian. He seemed to be even more nervous.


    He subconsciously pursed his lips and replied, ¡°I¡¯m not injured, and I¡¯m not feeling unwell. I followed you here on purpose. I¡¯m waiting for you!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him in confusion and asked softly, ¡°What for?¡±


    ¡°I ¡­ I have something to tell you!¡± Lin Feng raised his head slightly and looked at Zhuang Xian, who was two steps ahead of him. His tone was serious and tense.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin Feng and fell silent. After half a minute, she asked again, ¡°What do you want to say?¡±


    Only Lin Feng knew how nervous he was in this long half a minute. When he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    Lin Feng looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s dirty face and took a deep breath before saying, ¡°Zhuang Xian! I like you! If you can, can you be my girlfriend?¡±


    The cool night wind brushed past Zhuang Xian¡¯s ears along with Lin Feng¡¯s confession.


    The breeze brushed past Zhuang Xian¡¯s hair and curled it up. It caressed the side of the girl¡¯s face and lips. It was unusually gentle and lingering. It seemed to be sighing at Zhuang Xian¡¯s beauty.


    Lin Feng swallowed his saliva unnoticeably, as if he was trying to ease his nervousness but also to hide his joy and anticipation for Zhuang Xian.


    He felt he would remember this scene for the rest of his life! He would remember this girl who had stunned his entire youth!


    Zhuang Xian was not surprised by Lin Feng¡¯s sudden confession. She looked at Lin Feng indifferently, and after a while, she rejected him gently, ¡°You¡¯re pretty good. At least you¡¯re brave enough, which is something many people lack. For example, me.¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not finish her sentence. She looked at Lin Feng with a more severe and honest expression. ¡°What I¡¯m about to say next does not mean to hurt you. It only represents my own opinion and what it means literally! I don¡¯t like guys like you, and I don¡¯t intend to date shortly. I¡¯m sorry, but I won¡¯t respond to your confession.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at the young man¡¯s disappointed and sad face. She sighed slightly and added, ¡°I don¡¯t mean to say anything bad about you. I hope you understand! I quite like being friends with you. You¡¯re brilliant, and it¡¯s easy to talk to you. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, I can pretend that we are not close. Sorry.¡±


    Of course, this was not the first time a guy confessed to Zhuang Xian. In fact, in her previous life, Zhuang Xian was also a popular girl in college. She was beautiful, gentle, and kind, naturally attracting many boys.


    However, she had been blind in her past life and only thought of Gao Peng, that scumbag hypocrite, as a good man. She only wanted to be with him and didn¡¯t care about the other suitors around her.


    In her second life, this was the first time she had heard such a simple and direct confession, and it was from an outstanding and handsome boy like Lin Feng. It was not easy!


    The young man¡¯s sincerity and passion towards his relationship utterly differ from the feeling Mo Qian gave her. Lin Feng was brave, sincere, and precious, but Zhuang Xian still preferred the peace of mind and calmness that Mo Qian gave her.


    Perhaps she had long passed the age where bright feelings and passion would touch her. She seemed only suitable for a long-term, gentle, meaningful relationship with Mo Qian.


    Lin Feng¡¯s eyes were slightly red. He looked at Zhuang Xian and did not know what words to use to describe her.


    How could there be such a special girl in this world? She was so different even when she rejected someone¡¯s confession.

 Chapter 421 - 421 Chapter 421. Failed Confession

    421 Chapter 421. Failed Confession


    When she rejected him, she rejected him with determination and decisiveness, leaving him with no possibility of wishful thinking. But at the same time, she tried her best to protect his remaining self-esteem. She was heartless and considerate!


    Lin Feng took a deep breath and forced a smile.


    Lin Feng raised his hand and wanted to touch his eyes and nose, but he was afraid that he would not look strong and good enough in front of Zhuang Xian.


    Lin Feng pretended to chuckle and said softly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize. It¡¯s your right to reject or accept. I¡¯ll be fine!¡±


    ¡°Oh, right! I also want to say that I don¡¯t feel bad about continuing to be friends with you. I hope we can still be friends. After all, you¡¯re still our sister Xian, right? You ¡­ You should hurry back to the dormitory, there won¡¯t be any hot water later! I won¡¯t take you back; I¡¯ll find a place to get some fresh air!¡±


    After speaking, he turned his head and strode away randomly with his long legs as if something was chasing after him.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin Feng¡¯s back as he ran off in a panic. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked rather helpless. In her eyes, whether it was Li Qin, Lin Feng, or even Zhang Yang, they were all like her younger brothers. She had never had any thoughts about them.


    Of course, Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t have the time for that. Mo Qian alone was enough to make her ¡®overwrought¡¯!


    ¡°I think this young man is quite a good person, and he¡¯s quite good-looking too. Why did you reject him? You¡¯re a freshman this year, so you should be 18. It¡¯s nothing to be in love! Or does your family not agree?¡± Li Yan put his hands in her white coat and stood behind Zhuang Xian. She asked in a relaxed and gentle tone.


    When Zhuang Xian returned to her senses, she seemed to have just realized someone was standing behind her. She turned around and looked at Li Zheng with an indifferent expression on her face. ¡°No, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving Li Yan standing there. She looked at her back and shook her head helplessly.


    ¡°Aiya! Your newly born sister is quite vigilant. I chatted with her for a while; why did she run away in such a hurry? She couldn¡¯t have already discovered you, right?¡± Li Yan looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as she disappeared into the shade of the trees around the corner. Without turning back, he said to Zhuang Bai, who had just come out of the infirmary.


    Zhuang Bai naturally knew that Li Yan was talking to him. He stood beside Li Yan and said with a gentle smile, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Is she that sharp? I didn¡¯t make a sound when I was inside. She can¡¯t have x-ray vision, can she?¡±


    Li Yan laughed and looked back at him. She raised her eyebrows and said, ¡°She¡¯s your sister; how would I know about this? But then again, you came at the right time! You just arrived at the base, and I didn¡¯t even have time to pour you a glass of water before your sister came.¡±


    As she spoke, she suddenly looked curiously at Zhuang Bai. Seeing that this old friend of hers, whom she had not seen for a long time, still had a handsome face full of smiles, she continued, ¡°Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t come to the infirmary because she knew you were coming, did she? Otherwise, the tacit understanding between you two, who have never met, is a little too scary!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s a coincidence. I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Seeing that Zhuang Bai was about to explain something, Li Yan interrupted him with a smile.


    She and Zhuang Bai were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. With these jokes, she slowly regained the feelings she had had before.


    Li Yan didn¡¯t expect that Zhuang Bai would contact her to visit his new sister at the base!


    The fact that the Zhuang family had adopted a beautiful daughter was no longer a secret in the upper-class social circle of City H. Naturally, Li Yan had heard a little about it, so when Zhuang Bai had asked her for help this afternoon, she had agreed without hesitation.


    Zhuang Bai had just arrived at the base, so he thought he had to come over and say hello to Li Zheng first.

 Chapter 422 - 422 Chapter 422. Its Really a Coincidence

    422 Chapter 422. It¡¯s Really a Coincidence


    However, just as he stepped into Li Yan¡¯s Infirmary, a patient came in.


    Li Yan asked Zhuang Bai to sit down and wait for a while. She had to deal with some work first, so she left her old friend in the lounge and went to the treatment room outside.


    In the end, the patient who arrived just happened to be Zhuang Xian, the person Zhuang Bai wanted to meet!


    When Li Yan asked for Zhuang Xian¡¯s name, she was slightly surprised. Wasn¡¯t it just as she was about to doze off that someone sent her a pillow? It was such a coincidence that she had come across such a thing. At that time, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the lounge. These two rooms were not soundproof, so Zhuang Bai could hear everything they said.


    That was why Li Yan acted strangely in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. She grabbed Zhuang Xian and chatted with her as if she was checking her account.


    ¡°It¡¯s not like you can¡¯t believe it. It¡¯s a coincidence.¡± Zhuang Bai chuckled in response.


    He looked at Li Yan¡¯s face and sighed. ¡°My sister probably still thinks I¡¯m overseas! I came here today on a whim, so it¡¯s not premeditated; it¡¯s a coincidence!¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Bai¡¯s explanation, Li Yan couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She nodded and said, ¡°Alright, whatever you say! But I¡¯m a little curious. The moment you arrived, you saw sister Zhuang Xian being confessed to by a little boy. How do you feel? Big brother Zhuang?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Bai recalled the scene just now, and an inexplicable sense of frustration suddenly rose in his heart.


    He heaved a sigh of relief and replied, ¡°How can I feel anything? It¡¯s nothing more than a lamentation that no matter where we go, people like us from the old Zhuang family! Understandably, he¡¯s young and passionate.¡±


    As the sky slowly darkened, Zhuang Bai didn¡¯t wait for Li Yan to continue making fun of him.


    He glanced at her and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting dark. I have to finish what my mother asked me to do. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when you have time! Thanks to your help, I was able to enter the base.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve been old friends for so many years; why are you being so polite? Hurry up and go! This group of students is either in the bathhouse or the cafeteria. Go on, go on!¡± Li Yan said, raising her hand and chuckling as she chased him away.


    Zhuang Bai took the thermal food bag, nodded to Li Yan, and left.


    Zhuang Xian, who had just left the infirmary with anti-inflammatory medicine, was stopped on her way back to the dormitory.


    She looked at Li Qin, standing in front of her, and said helplessly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you now? It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re not going to wash up and eat, but you¡¯re not going to visit Grandpa either. You¡¯re standing here waiting for me?¡±


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian with a calm expression. He pretended to be mysterious and remained silent for a long time before he spoke, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier that Mo Qian would be coming to see you today? They went straight to Chief Instructor Lei and the squad monitor. Were you planning to get away with it today if I didn¡¯t happen to see them? Sister Xian, you¡¯re so mean!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the strange expression on Li Qin¡¯s face and raised her brows slightly. She realized something was wrong with Li Qin and asked with some doubt, ¡°I thought something was wrong when I saw your gloomy face! You¡¯re unhappy because of this?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian asked this, her eyes were fixed on Li Qin. This boy was too easy to understand when he was with his people. He would never hide any emotions on his face!


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s patient questioning, Li Qin let out a light sigh and leaned in to whisper into her ear, ¡°Then tell me the truth, are you with this Mo Qian or not? Have you two confirmed your relationship? He didn¡¯t mind the trouble and came to the base to find you. It can¡¯t be as simple as asking you to treat his leg, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian saw that Li Qin had brought the conversation back to that dead end. She took a deep breath helplessly, walked around Li Qin, who was blocking her way and walked in front leisurely.


    ¡°Ai! Why are you leaving, sister Xian? You still haven¡¯t answered my question!¡±


    She didn¡¯t want to talk to Li Qin, but she couldn¡¯t stand his nagging and annoyance. Without even looking at him, she replied, ¡°We¡¯re not together, and our relationship is not confirmed! At most, we have a good impression of each other!¡±

 Chapter 423 - 423 Chapter 423. Beat Mo Qian to Death

    423 Chapter 423. Beat Mo Qian to Death


    ¡°The injury on his leg is a fundamental and serious matter to him and me. It¡¯s not a small matter that we don¡¯t find troublesome! That¡¯s all. What else do you want to know? Just ask! You don¡¯t have to nag and gossip all day. Even if you don¡¯t find it annoying, I do!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s tone was slightly impatient, but she answered all Li Qin¡¯s questions.


    She thought that by doing this, Li Qin would let her off. But his complicated and worried expression did not disappear after Li Qin heard her. He even reached out to grab Zhuang Xian¡¯s arm and looked at her in confusion and anger, ¡°Sister Xian, since you¡¯ve already said that you two have feelings for each other, why did Mo Qian bring another woman with him? And he¡¯s even pulling her around, talking and laughing with her. Is Mo Qian playing with you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian stopped in her tracks when she heard this. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Qin, frowning slightly as she asked, ¡°What did you say? Who did he bring?¡±


    ¡°A fair-skinned, beautiful woman with a good temperament and a vibrant personality. She seemed to be very close to him! Yes!¡± Li Qin did not stop and directly responded.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression, was slowly calming down, and felt a little uncomfortable. He thought that Mo Qian was not a good person. On the one hand, he was chasing after his sister Xian. On the other hand, he was fooling around with other women. Was he afraid that others wouldn¡¯t know that he was incredibly charming? Wasn¡¯t this bullying their sister Xian? This was too much!


    As Li Qin thought about this, he pulled Zhuang Xian¡¯s wrist and continued walking forward. He did not forget to growl, ¡°Sister Xian, don¡¯t be sad. Let¡¯s go and ask him for an explanation. I¡¯ll beat him to death if he dares to trick you!¡±


    After all, Mo Qian was someone who couldn¡¯t beat her. She had to help Sister Xian vent her anger!


    Zhuang Xian only felt that this matter was a little strange and incomprehensible. She didn¡¯t expect Li Qin to misunderstand her. Looking at the boy pulling her like a bull, Zhuang Xian felt helpless and said softly, ¡°Wait a moment! Can you not be so ¡­¡±


    ¡°Sister Xian, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m in charge of this today! If he wants to be my brother-in-law, he has to get past me first! However, looking at the current situation, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s time to give him a good scolding first!¡±


    Li Qin had already made up his mind and was as stubborn as a mule. He pulled Zhuang Xian along and headed toward the canteen without care.


    Just now, while waiting for Zhuang Xian, he had overheard the conversation between Mo Qian and Lei Cheng. He guessed that they should be in the canteen now.


    As for Mo Qian, who was being pulled by Lei cheng towards the canteen, he felt a little helpless. He looked at Lei Cheng, who had said he would entertain them but was now only attentive to the old lady. He let out a light breath and turned his face to the side just in time to meet Mo Ye¡¯s eyes.


    It was Mo Ye¡¯s first time in the military training base, so everything was new to her. She smiled at Mo Qian and said with great interest, ¡°This Blue Eagle Base looks pretty good. How much money did Saint Capital University spend to arrange such insane military training? Did you see the students we saw along the way? They all looked like they had been thrown into the mountains and hadn¡¯t had their fill for days. They were quite pitiful.¡±


    As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes were shocked as she said, ¡°The Zhuang Xian we¡¯re going to see later won¡¯t be as miserable as this, right? City H¡¯s Saint Capital University is a famous school with over a hundred years of history. What were the leaders of the school thinking? Why must they train these young masters and young ladies into soldiers? Isn¡¯t that just deliberately messing with them and causing trouble?¡±


    Mo Qian quietly listened to Mo Ye¡¯s words, a relaxed smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood.


    He slightly raised his head to look at mo fou and chuckled, ¡°The Academy can discipline them however they want; what does that have to do with you? It would make you look worried about the country and people daily! Zhuang Xian isn¡¯t an ordinary person. This level of military training shouldn¡¯t be a challenge for her. She wouldn¡¯t let herself be in such a sorry state!¡±


    Mo Ye nodded lightly as if she didn¡¯t care about Mo Qian¡¯s words.

 Chapter 424 - 424 Chapter 424. Arent You Going to Wait For Her?

    424 Chapter 424. Aren¡¯t You Going to Wait For Her?


    By now, she had developed a specific resistance against Mo Qian. She would no longer confusedly surrender at the sight of her cousin¡¯s handsome face. Anyway, she would do whatever she wanted. ¡®If you criticized me, I would find an opportunity to retort!¡¯


    Mo Xi pushed the armrest of the wheelchair and listened to the bickering between his young Master and the young Miss. He shook his head, amused.


    In the two days that the young Miss had been here, their young Master seemed very happy. It had been long since he had seen his young Master in such a relaxed state.


    Although the young Master would not say much, Mo Xi understood that the young Master had been alone for too long and needed the company and care of his family.


    Humans were gregarious animals and needed corresponding emotional protection and response. Even an outstanding person like Mo Qian was no exception!


    Since it was the first day for the new students to return to the base from the mountains, the chefs were all full of energy. They listened to the school¡¯s arrangements and made a lot of delicious food for the students to reward these children who had suffered a lot in the mountains.


    Although the Saint Capital did not conduct itself well in matters related to military training, the logistics supplies and rewards were very well done. Today¡¯s dishes were particularly rich and attractive.


    When Lei Cheng and his group slowly walked to the canteen entrance, Li Qin had already pulled Zhuang Xian along and caught up with them.


    He looked at Mo Qian, still speaking to Mo Ye with a gentle expression, and pointed at him angrily, signaling for Zhuang Xian to take a look. ¡°Look, sister Xian! I didn¡¯t lie to you! Is that Mo Qian? Is he swaggering around with a woman?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked up and saw Mo Qian looking up at the beauty beside him with a gentle expression and a smile in his eyes. The two of them did look very intimate.


    Zhuang Xian was a little taken aback. Frowning, she recalled everything about Mo Qian in her previous life.


    Has Mo Qian ever liked any woman in her past life? Who was Mo Qian with? Who was this woman beside him now? Why had she never seen her in City H¡¯s business circle before? Where did this woman come from?


    Mo Qian shook his head and chuckled helplessly at the woman. His expression even had a hint of indulgence and compromise. Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning, and she was utterly dumbfounded. She had never seen such a relaxed and happy Mo Qian before!


    In Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, Mo Qian was supposed to be gentle, gentlemanly, intelligent, and wise. When had he ever been so carefree and happy?


    It turned out that what Mo Qian had shown in front of her was not his true self. Or perhaps, she had not reached the level where Mo Qian could offer all the familiarity and understanding of his character! Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was a mess as she thought about everything. The calmness and curiosity she had felt on the way here had disappeared.


    A sense of loss and depression slowly rose in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart.


    She retracted her gaze and looked at the ground as she shook her head slightly. She wanted to drive all these messy emotions out of her mind, but it seemed useless.


    In her past life, she did not seem to have any connection or involvement with Mo Qian, the world¡¯s famous rich President.


    In the final period of her life, she had never heard of Mo Qian liking anyone, nor had he dated or married anyone.


    In those few years, even in City H¡¯s entire business circle, it seemed very difficult to hear any gossip about Mo Qian. Mo Qian was never married!


    Who was this woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him? What was her relationship with Mo Qian?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s brilliant brain told her that something was wrong with her current state of mind and that it was hazardous.


    Just like what she had told Li Qin, she and Mo Qian were not in a relationship. The current Mo Qian did not belong to her alone. She did not seem to have any legitimate reason to blame Mo Qian. Mo Qian was no one to her!


    She had only told Mo Qian to wait for her for two years. Although Mo Qian had agreed, he had never said that he would not go back on his word!


    Zhuang Xian furrowed her brows. There was a sense of panic and disappointment in her eyes that was not easily noticed by others. She felt that her repeated concessions and perfunctory cowardice in the past were persuading Mo Qian to give up on her. That was why Mo Qian had turned to pursue someone else and cherish her!


    Had Mo Qian decided not to wait for her?

 Chapter 425 - 425 Chapter 425. A Few Words

    425 Chapter 425. A Few Words


    She had just agreed with Mo Qian a few days ago. Did he go back on his word?


    Zhuang Xian felt as if a piece of her heart was missing. She subconsciously raised her hand to grab the clothes on her chest. Feeling the dull pain coming from there, she felt suffocated and uncomfortable.


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian and felt something was wrong with her. He lowered his head and looked at her carefully. After a long while, he slowly called out, ¡°Sister Xian! What¡¯s wrong? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?¡±


    Zhuang Xian regained her senses and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine! I¡¯ll take care of this matter myself, so don¡¯t worry about it.¡±


    As she spoke, she retracted her gaze from Li Qin and turned toward Mo Qian and Lei Cheng. She wanted to know what Mo Qian was thinking and why he had to do this!


    The sky was getting darker and darker, and the Blue Eagle Base was already brightly lit after 7:30 pm.


    Zhuang Xian and Li Qin had arrived a little late and missed the peak hour for dinner. Of course, Chief Instructor Lei, who was also standing at the entrance of the canteen, as well as old Madam Mo and Miss mo, who he had personally entertained, were also there.


    The first person to notice Zhuang Xian walking over was Mo Ye, who had just finished arguing with Mo Qian and was currently looking around.


    Zhuang Xian was still wearing the military training uniform she had been wearing for the past few days. It looked a little dirty and messy, but it was not bad.


    After she came back from training at Blue Eagle Mountain, she did not even have time to wipe the dirt off her face before she rushed to the infirmary. On her way there, she met Lin Feng and was stunned by his sudden confession.


    With Mo Qian¡¯s incident, her mood has hit rock bottom. So, when Mo Ye first saw Zhuang Xian, she left an impression in her heart: she was a lovely and cold girl.


    The mess on Zhuang Xian¡¯s body did not affect her beauty. In fact, because of her unique temperament made her look even more special and lonely.


    Mo Ye didn¡¯t need Mo Qian¡¯s reminder to know that the person in front of them was their target for today¡¯s trip.


    Zhuang Xian noticed this woman was looking at her without blinking and felt a little uneasy and strange. She frowned slightly and looked at Mo Qian from the side. ¡°Can I have a few words with you in private? It won¡¯t take up much of your time.¡±


    She spoke with an overly calm expression, but Mo Qian could still see many other things in her eyes.


    There seemed to be something wrong with Zhuang Xian today. She did not seem to be in a good mood. Mo Qian restrained the corners of his mouth slightly, but when he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s smile, he nodded and replied, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go over there and talk.¡±


    Naturally, Mo Qian had no way of rejecting Zhuang Xian¡¯s simple request.


    As he spoke, he was about to control his wheelchair and leave with Zhuang Xian. However, old Mrs. Mo, standing behind him, looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise and joy. She smiled and interrupted Mo Qian¡¯s actions.


    She quickly walked to Zhuang Xian¡¯s side, stared at Zhuang Xian, and said with a smile, ¡°You must be Zhuang Xian? Hello, I¡¯m Mo Qian¡¯s grandmother! We¡¯ve come to the military base this time to look for you. Our Mo family is very grateful to you! You¡¯ve been working hard for Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury, child!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, many thoughts flashed through her mind. She looked at old Mrs. Mo¡¯s kind and bright eyes and felt suspicious and puzzled, but she replied softly, ¡°Hello, grandma Mo! You¡¯re too polite to say that! I¡¯m only responsible for passing on some of the medicine master¡¯s prescription and treatment methods to President Mo. I didn¡¯t contribute much, so you don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡±


    When Mo Su saw that Zhuang Xian¡¯s manner of speech was appropriate and that her reply was reasonable, she was satisfied. This was especially so when she saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s outstanding appearance. She could not hide the smile on her face. She liked this girl!


    Even if Zhuang Xian was only an adopted daughter of the Zhuang family, that did not stop her from admiring and liking her! As old Mrs. Mo thought of this, she continued, ¡°You¡¯re too humble, child!¡±

 Chapter 426 - 426 Chapter 426. First Impression

    426 Chapter 426. First Impression


    ¡°Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s old master¡¯s disciple, the green-robed medicine master, what kind of person is that? Since you can be the bridge between her and Mo Qian and use her methods to treat and save people, you must be a talented and outstanding medical genius! Since you have such a good ability, why are you so humble?¡±


    She was in a perfect mood, completely ignoring the complicated and helpless look that Mo Qian was looking at her with.


    Mo Qian looked at his unusually excited grandmother and sighed helplessly. He wanted to interrupt the conversation between her and Zhuang Xian and talk to her, but Mo Ye did not want to give him a chance.


    ¡°Grandma, let¡¯s not just stand there like idiots, okay? Instructor Lei is still waiting for you here! Let¡¯s go upstairs and have a chat, okay? The wind is strong tonight, so be careful not to get cold!¡± Mo Ye said gently.


    She felt that in front of her future sister-in-law, she had to establish this image of being gentle, considerate, and caring for others.


    As she spoke, she looked at Zhuang Xian and put on a decent smile. After sizing Zhuang Xian up, she said warmly, ¡°This student looks travel-worn; you probably didn¡¯t have time to wash up, right? Have you eaten? Why don¡¯t you come up with us? I heard from instructor Lei that the food in the canteen today seems to be very sumptuous.¡±


    Seeing his name had been mentioned, he smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Zhuang Xian, let¡¯s go together!¡±


    Li Qin had been quietly watching his sister Xian talk to these people.


    However, Mo Qian¡¯s people were constantly interrupting her. Zhuang Xian had no chance to speak to Mo Qian alone.


    Especially the woman beside Mo Qian. She looked like she had a big idea, and her words were sarcastic.


    What did he mean by ¡®travel-worn¡¯? Who didn¡¯t train with their lives on the line in this military base every day? It was already perfect if one could persist through the day¡¯s training. Who would care about whether their face was dusty or not?


    This woman was using these words to mock their sister Xian. She had no class!


    And what did she mean by ¡®Why don¡¯t you come with us¡¯? If she didn¡¯t come with you, would sister Xian not be able to afford to eat? His preconceived notion had already misled Li Qin.


    From Mo Ye¡¯s words and actions, he could tell that Mo Ye was judging her. He didn¡¯t like this woman at all!


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile, which was unusually calm, and felt even more indignant toward Mo Ye.


    He took a step forward and stood in front of Zhuang Xian. He said to Mo Ye, ¡°What does my sister Xian¡¯s bath have to do with you? Many people in this base are more miserable than her. You are so rude!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Mo Qian again. After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear that sister Xian wants to chat with you? How much time can this waste? Are you a man? You should take responsibility for your actions if you¡¯re a man. Don¡¯t hide behind a woman and not speak!¡±


    Mo Qian, who had been scolded for no reason, was speechless.


    Mo Ye was also confused. She had never offended Zhuang Xian¡¯s classmate, had she? Why did he start scolding people as soon as he came up? What kind of logic was this?


    Her eyes were filled with many subtle emotions as she thought about this. She turned to look at Mo Qian, who was being scolded even more miserably. She didn¡¯t know why, but she felt a little amused.


    Mo Qian¡¯s status was noble and transcendent. It was rare for him to encounter such a situation where he was pointed at and scolded in front of others, so it was inevitable that he was a little dazed.


    He first looked at Li Qin, who was looking down on him and then looked at Zhuang Xian. After a few seconds of silence, he asked Zhuang Xian about the wound on her face, ¡°Is it still not healed? The weather has been scorching these few days, don¡¯t get an infection! I¡¯ve asked Mo Xi to prepare some medicine, and I¡¯ll give it to you in a while.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she let out a very light sigh. She reached out and pulled Li Qin behind her. She looked at Mo Qian and said calmly, ¡°No need. I¡¯ve already gone to the infirmary to change the dressing.¡±

 Chapter 427 - 427 Chapter 427. Its my Fault

    427 Chapter 427. It¡¯s my Fault


    ¡°Since you still want to eat, then hurry up! I need to prepare for the acupuncture. I¡¯ll come to you after 8 o¡¯clock.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at Mo Ye. There was no other emotion in her quiet eyes, but it made people feel that she did not like Mo Ye.


    Mo Ye was deeply touched, and how she looked at Zhuang Xian became even more confused.


    Gently retracting her gaze, Zhuang Xian again turned to look at old Mrs. Mo, standing beside Mo Qian. She chuckled politely, then pulled Li Qin¡¯s arm and left, leaving behind a group of people who were extremely confused and puzzled.


    As he watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s back disappear into the distance, Mo Ye turned back to Mo Qian and asked with uncertainty, ¡°Did I do anything to offend her in the past? Why is Zhuang Xian looking at me like I¡¯m her love rival?¡±


    Mo Qian was frowning slightly as he stared at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back. When he heard her words, his eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something. He looked up helplessly and chuckled, explaining, ¡°This is the first time you¡¯re meeting her. Where are you going to find an opportunity to offend her? It¡¯s my fault; I¡¯ll go and coax her first; you guys follow Lei Cheng up! I¡¯ll contact you later.¡±


    As he spoke, he raised his hand without looking back, signaling Mo Xi to follow Zhuang Xian, leaving the people behind him.


    Mo Su looked at her eldest grandson, who had suddenly become willful. She opened her mouth to say something, but Mo Qian¡¯s resolute figure extinguished this thought.


    She turned around to look at Mo Ye and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did all of you leave us behind? When did Mo Qian make Zhuang Xian angry? And he said that he was in the wrong. I don¡¯t understand how things are going.¡±


    Mo Ye was also a brilliant person. After Mo Qian had reacted quickly, she had also thought of something from what she had said.


    She had subconsciously expressed her feelings, but she had not expected that it would help Mo Qian open up his mind.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s reaction was not the strongest. What made them even more confused as the boy beside Zhuang Xian.


    He seemed to have misunderstood something. It was fine when he talked to her, as he had only said a few sarcastic words. However, he had directly scolded Mo Qian!


    Mo Ye had already felt that something was wrong when she heard that. Now that she thought about it, the ¡®truth¡¯ was clear!


    The two must have thought of her as Mo Qian¡¯s lover. Otherwise, why would that boy look at Mo Qian with such an indignant and shameless expression?


    When Miss Mo thought of these bizarre things, she was helpless and speechless.


    What the hell is this? However, as she thought about it, she felt that Zhuang Xian was interesting. She was neither haughty nor humble and knew when to advance and retreat. She was a brilliant woman.


    If an average person had such a misunderstanding, they would have rushed up to confront her. How could they be as calm as Zhuang Xian, who could understand the situation and distinguish the severity of the problem?


    As for the boy beside Zhuang Xian, he should be her younger brother. He seemed to have some balls.


    He knew who Mo Qian was and knew that Mo Qian¡¯s status was extraordinary. Even in such a situation, he dared to point at Mo Qian¡¯s nose and scold him. It was clear that his courage was commendable, and it was also clear that his feelings for Zhuang Xian were not ordinary.


    With this thought, Mo Ye had a higher opinion of Zhuang Xian and Li Qin.


    Hearing grandma Mo¡¯s question, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said to the old lady with a smile, ¡°I came here with you. If you don¡¯t know, how would I know? Maybe it¡¯s just a little fun between a young couple; why do you care so much? Alright, alright, let them be! Didn¡¯t you say that the dinner at home wasn¡¯t good? Let¡¯s take advantage of today¡¯s opportunity to go up with instructor Lei and see the food in the military camp!¡±


    Mo Su looked up at her granddaughter. Her wise and astute eyes had already seen through many things.


    She knew that they shouldn¡¯t join in the fun. It would be better to let the children solve it themselves. She nodded in agreement. However, she still glared at Mo Ye and scolded, ¡°I think you¡¯re becoming increasingly impudent!¡±

 Chapter 428 - 428 Chapter 428. Already Have

    428 Chapter 428. Already Have


    ¡°With your frivolous appearance, what kind of man will like you in the future ¡­.¡±


    ¡°May I ask if you are instructor Lei Cheng?¡±


    A clear voice suddenly came from their right, interrupting old Lady Mo¡¯s long-winded speech.


    Mo Ye was grateful. She turned her head and immediately saw the handsome Zhuang Bai holding a food box in his hand. He had a gentle and steady temperament, a tall and straight posture, and a lovely face.


    Lei Cheng heard someone calling his name and turned his head to look. Seeing that the person was unfamiliar, he nodded and asked softly, ¡°I¡¯m Lei Cheng. May I know who you are? It¡¯s getting late; why did you come to our base?¡±


    Seeing that he had found the right person, Zhuang Bai smiled like a gentleman and explained, ¡°It¡¯s like this, my name is Zhuang Bai! I¡¯ve been friends with doctor Li Yan from your Military Region for many years. I¡¯m here to visit her and my sister! She¡¯s Zhuang Xian, a new student in the Performing Arts Department.¡±


    Zhuang Bai explained his purpose for coming in a few words. His attitude was very gentle and appropriate. One look and you could tell that he was a man with a good upbringing.


    He looked at Lei Cheng, his face full of smiles. He did not waste any time and asked, ¡°I have something to give her, but the military area is too wide, and many new students are training there. Looking for her like this didn¡¯t seem appropriate, so I came over to ask for directions! Do you know where Zhuang Xian¡¯s dormitory is?¡±


    When Lei Cheng heard this, he asked in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re Zhuang Xian¡¯s brother? Then you just missed her; she was here a few minutes ago! However, she should have returned to the dormitory by now! She lives in Dormitory 2. Just go straight ahead and turn left!¡±


    Zhuang Bai had gotten the information he wanted to know. He nodded at Lei Cheng, thanked him, and turned to leave.


    He did not recognize the two people standing beside Lei Cheng. They were the old Lady and the young Miss of the Mo family. He thought they were family members of students like him!


    Therefore, when he walked past Mo Ye and Mo Su, he nodded slightly and smiled before leaving.


    Looking at Zhuang Bai in this state, Mo Ye¡¯s heart felt as if it had been struck by something. It was a little numb, and her brain suddenly crashed.


    It wasn¡¯t until Zhuang Bai had taken a few steps away from them that she reacted. She looked at Zhuang Bai¡¯s back without blinking, but she said to grandma Mo, ¡°I think there¡¯s already one.¡±


    Old Mrs. Mo looked at Mo Ye, still in a daze, and frowned in confusion. She asked, ¡°What do you mean already? You little brat, are you starting to have hysteria again?¡±


    Mo Ye turned her head and ignored grandma Mo¡¯s words. She replied happily, ¡°The man I like! Grandma, what do you think of Zhuang Bai? Since Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian have yet to be together, why don¡¯t I make the first move? Once I¡¯ve taken down Zhuang Bai, I¡¯ll enjoy the benefits of being in a favorable position!¡±


    Mo Su rolled her eyes speechlessly when she heard that. She scolded softly, ¡°Crazy girl.¡±


    ¡°He definitely won¡¯t be able to find where sister-in-law¡¯s dormitory is. I¡¯ll go up and give him some directions. Grandma, you can go up with instructor Lei! I¡¯ll go and bring Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Bai over!¡± Mo Ye said quickly as she walked out in her high heels.


    She was wearing an exquisite dress today. The skirt only reached below her knees, and the beautiful high heels decorated her calves well, making her look feminine.


    Mo Su looked at Mo Ye, who seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, but her expression did not change much. It was as if she was already used to her granddaughter¡¯s whims.


    There was a light in her eyes, and she smiled helplessly. When she turned around, she smiled at Lei Cheng. ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed myself. Mo Ye has always been so willful and reckless.¡±


    Lei Cheng smiled slightly, nodded, and replied somewhat embarrassedly: ¡°It¡¯s good that the young Miss is true to her nature!¡±


    He was a little confused. It turned out that not all the famous Mo family members were like Mo Qian. He liked Mo Ye¡¯s forthright and cheerful personality!


    Mo Qian, who had been chasing after Zhuang Xian, had explained the entire situation to her.


    Looking at me Qian¡¯s dazed expression, Zhuang Xian¡¯s emotions were very complicated. Her beautiful eyes were also filled with doubts.


    Before she could say anything, Li Qin had already expressed his doubts and surprise. ¡°What did you say? You¡¯re not a couple with that woman?¡±

 Chapter 429 - 429 Chapter 429. Not decent

    429 Chapter 429. Not ¡®decent¡¯


    ¡°You said she¡¯s called Mo Ye, and she¡¯s your cousin?¡± Li Qin looked at Mo Qian in shock and asked loudly.


    Mo Qian¡¯s face was still calm, and his eyes even carried a lot of helplessness and ridicule.


    Mo Qian had not even opened his mouth to speak, but Li Qin already felt like the look in his eyes choked him.


    Young master Li felt a little guilty. He glanced at Zhuang Xian and said, ¡°Just because you say so? This ¡­ Why should we believe your one-sided story without any evidence? Sister Xian and I saw it. You were talking and laughing with that woman, and your actions were so intimate! You¡¯re the person my sister Xian likes; how can you be so ¡®indecent¡¯?¡± Li Qin straightened his neck and was a little unreasonable.


    He encouraged himself and kept telling himself not to be afraid. As Zhuang Xian¡¯s family, he was putting pressure on Mo Qian! He had to back Zhuang Xian up!


    Initially, Mo Qian did not care about what Li Qin said. However, as he looked at the silent Zhuang Xian, he sighed and looked at her gently. In a gentle and helpless voice, he said, ¡°It¡¯s only been three days since we made our agreement. Is my trust level in your heart so low? Or did you think that I was joking with you?¡±


    ¡°Mo Ye is my cousin. She just came over from T City with grandma last night. It¡¯s normal for you to find her unfamiliar. She rarely moved around in City H. Although she¡¯s not my biological sister, she¡¯s the only one of the Mo family¡¯s bloodline. There¡¯s absolutely nothing between her and me.¡± Mo Qian explained in a gentle voice. The way he looked at Zhuang Xian was frank and calm.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s brows, which had been tightly furrowed the entire time, loosened up a little under Mo Qian¡¯s patient explanation.


    She looked up and met Mo Qian¡¯s eyes. She asked softly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I hear you say you have an elder sister? Aren¡¯t you the only son of the Mo family? When Mo Wei was still in the country, didn¡¯t he only have one son?¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian had finally spoken to him, Mo Qian heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, before he could say anything, Mo Xi, standing behind him, said, ¡°This is a long story! Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Miss Zhuang, why don¡¯t you do more important things first? What else do you need to prepare for the course of acupuncture? Just tell me directly, and I¡¯ll make the arrangements!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Xi, who had suddenly started a conversation. From his winking expression, she seemed to have guessed something.


    She was silent for a while. When she looked up at Mo Qian again, she had some questions in her heart. However, it was not appropriate to say these things in this situation.


    She thought about how she had wrongly accused Mo Qian for no reason, so she looked away and cleared her throat unnaturally, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s put an end to this matter. We¡¯ll talk about it when we have the chance! I ¡­ I¡¯ll go back to the dormitory to pack up and come back later to perform acupuncture on you. Let¡¯s go to the dormitory you stayed in last time. I have everything.¡±


    As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Mo Qian again. The expression in her eyes was a little uncertain, and she looked guilty and unnatural. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first.¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled and nodded gently at Zhuang Xian. He did not make things difficult for her in front of many people and let her go naturally.


    However, this was the first time he had seen Zhuang Xian¡¯s guilty look. It was adorable.


    When Li Qin saw that Zhuang Xian was so easy to talk to, he was shocked and asked in confusion, ¡°No! We haven¡¯t clarified things, and you¡¯re letting him off just like that? Aren¡¯t you being too soft-hearted? This can¡¯t do ¡­ Aiyo! Sister Xian, why are you pinching my ear?¡±


    Before young Master Li could express his doubts and dissatisfaction, his sister Xian pulled him away by his ears.


    He lowered his head and cried out in pain, but he didn¡¯t dare to resist.


    ¡°You still think that you haven¡¯t embarrassed me enough today? If you don¡¯t have a doorknob on your mouth in the future, and when you see something, you don¡¯t think about it clearly before you open your mouth and start to talk nonsense, then I will have to sew it up for you!¡± Zhuang Xian tugged at Li Qin¡¯s ear and lowered her voice as she led her man away from Mo Qian.

 Chapter 430 - 430 Chapter 430. An Excellent Brother-in-Law

    430 Chapter 430. An Excellent Brother-in-Law


    Sensing the gaze behind her, Zhuang Xian quietly let go of her hand. As she walked, she mumbled softly, ¡°I¡¯m muddleheaded to listen to your nonsense. How do you want me to face Mo Qian in the future? He¡¯s going to laugh at me to death!¡±


    When Li Qin heard this, he looked at Zhuang Xian strangely and asked in confusion, ¡°What do you mean? Wasn¡¯t this just a misunderstanding? Wouldn¡¯t it be fine once it was resolved? We didn¡¯t mean to misunderstand him. Who knew that he had a sister who had never shown her face? However, I can see that the relationship between Mo Qian and Mo Ye doesn¡¯t seem like an ordinary sibling relationship. They seem more intimate!¡±


    As he spoke, he noticed Zhuang Xian¡¯s unmoved expression. As if he had thought of something, his eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule. ¡°But Mo Qian¡¯s attitude is excellent! I scolded him like that just now, but he was not angry and even explained it to you with such a good face. As expected of the man that my sister Xian likes!¡±


    As he spoke, Li Qin, who felt that he was delighted with this brother-in-law of his, even smiled more.


    Zhuang Xian turned and looked at Li Qin, who had changed his attitude and emotions so smoothly in the past few minutes. She was speechless and helpless.


    Li Qin was still a child. How could Zhuang Xian ask him to be mature and steady in everything?


    Zhuang Xian was glad he did not rush up to Mo Qian and attack him directly!


    In any case, with Mo Qian¡¯s patient explanation and Zhuang Xian¡¯s skillful handling of the situation, this comical misunderstanding was quickly resolved!


    Mo Qian followed behind them and watched as Zhuang Xian and Li Qin walked into the dormitory. He ordered Mo Xi, ¡°When you return, you have to investigate this boy next to Zhuang Xian. I have a feeling that his identity is not that simple. How did an ordinary first-year student dare to condemn me in front of so many people? He¡¯s bold; he doesn¡¯t come from a small place!¡±


    Mo Xi nodded and bowed. ¡°Alright, young Master! I also feel that this person is not ordinary. You saw how he was neither humble nor arrogant towards us and how fearless he was. It frightened me at that time! He was either showing off his courage, or he had a background and a barrier behind him! At the very least, they shouldn¡¯t lose to the Zhuang family, right?¡±


    ¡°Did you hear Zhuang Xian call his name?¡± Mo Qian asked.


    Mo Xi thought for a moment but did not remember Zhuang Xian calling this person by his name. He shook his head and replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡±


    Seeing his young Master¡¯s strange expression, Mo Xi asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, young Master? Do you think there¡¯s something wrong?¡±


    Mo Qian fiddled with his pinky ring and shook his head lightly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Perhaps I¡¯m overthinking it. I keep feeling that he looks familiar, but I can¡¯t remember where I¡¯ve seen him before.¡±


    If Mo Qian were to reflect on the people he had met recently, he would realize that Li Qin and old man Li Zhen were similar. Or perhaps, if he were to recall carefully, he would also recognize that there were even photos of this person and Zhuang Xian on a trip together on his phone!


    It was sent to him when Xiang Nan was reporting to him. At that time, Xiang Nan had even teased him, saying that his competitive strength might not be as good as the young people nowadays and that he was an ¡°Old man!¡±


    Young master Mo was only 26 years old this year. He felt very young, so he did not pay much attention to it then.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t remember any of this, but he was susceptible to the fact that Zhuang Xian specially treated this person, so he had to be careful.


    He was not old, but Zhuang Xian was too young.


    There was a ten-year age gap between him and Zhuang Xian. Mr. Mo, who had always been resourceful and careful, naturally had to plan! After all, his girl was beautiful!


    Mo Qian and Mo Xi were downstairs in Zhuang Xian¡¯s dormitory, and along the busy corridors, many people were sizing him up.


    A person like Mo Qian, who was famous and had an outstanding temperament, naturally attracted the attention of passersby easily!


    However, with Mo Xi, the cold-faced bodyguard, by his side, there were no blind people who dared to come up and strike up a conversation.


    Mo Qian, who rarely waited for someone like this, was also experiencing this novel experience of waiting for his girlfriend downstairs in the dormitory for the first time!

 Chapter 431 - 431 Chapter 431. Zhuang Bai and Mo Ye

    431 Chapter 431. Zhuang Bai and Mo Ye


    However, instead of Zhuang Xian, Mo Qian met with young master Zhuang, who had been ¡®escorted¡¯ here by Mo Ye!


    Zhuang Bai helplessly listened to Mo Ye¡¯s long-winded chatter. He felt that this woman was amiable and would not be awkward when she chatted with him. She should be someone from their business circle.


    However, just like Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Bai had never met Mo Ye before, so he did not know Mo Ye¡¯s true identity.


    Fortunately, Zhuang Bai had always been a very tolerant and gentle gentleman to women.


    Especially for a beautiful and generous woman like Mo Ye, the entanglement couldn¡¯t be considered an entanglement. It could only be regarded as a new encounter!


    In young Master Zhuang¡¯s heart, it had always been like this.


    He would be very grateful for today¡¯s sudden inspiration. This finally allowed him to meet the lover he had missed in his past life!


    Seeing her brother under the shade of a tree, Mo Ye smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯ll see! I said that this place wasn¡¯t easy to find. How many more detours would you have to take if it wasn¡¯t for me? I think you should thank me properly!¡±


    Zhuang Bai laughed and looked at Mo Ye, asking in a gentle voice, ¡°Sure, how do you think I should thank you?¡±


    In any case, he would never say a word. He had followed the crowd all the way here and even helped this ¡®guide¡¯ in front of him to avoid two wrong roads.


    The gentleness and gentlemanliness that only belonged to young master Zhuang were warm and considerate in details that others would not notice. It was something that many people could not resist.


    Of course, this included Mo Ye, who had yet to appreciate Zhuang Bai¡¯s thoughtfulness and care.


    She didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Bai to be so easy to talk to. She hadn¡¯t even used half of her skills yet, and this person had already taken the bait. He was really ¡®obedient¡¯.


    She pretended to hide her smile, cleared her throat, and said, ¡°That¡¯s easy. You have to treat me to a meal.¡±


    After Mo Ye finished speaking, Zhuang Bai suddenly fell silent. He turned to look at the woman beside him and didn¡¯t say anything for a long time.


    Feeling Zhuang Bai¡¯s gaze on her, Mo Ye didn¡¯t know why, but she suddenly felt a little nervous and expectant.


    On the surface, she appeared natural, calm, and understanding, but many thoughts had already flashed through her mind.


    Wasn¡¯t she a little too proactive and enthusiastic? Did she scare him? Could it be that young master Zhuang doesn¡¯t like my type? Does he like gentler and quieter girls? Wouldn¡¯t that be the end of it? With that style, I can only pretend for a week at most! What should I do? He should have asked for the phone number first. She was a little too anxious!


    As Mo Ye thought about this, she slowly stopped and looked up at Zhuang Bai. The smile on her face was a little forced. ¡°It¡¯s OK if you don¡¯t eat, but can you answer a few of my questions? ¡±


    Zhuang Bai slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a faint smile. He nodded gently and replied, ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    Mo Ye looked at Zhuang Bai in this state and cried for help in her heart. This man was too handsome. He completely met her standards for a partner and even exceeded them by a lot!


    After all, very few people were so gentle and good at flirting!


    She pretended to clear her throat and asked, ¡°Then let¡¯s start with three?¡±


    Zhuang Bai chuckled and nodded. ¡°Go ahead. You¡¯d better hurry. I¡¯m in a hurry to deliver my sister¡¯s food. It¡¯ll get cold soon.¡±


    Cowardice wasn¡¯t Mo Ye¡¯s character. She preferred to aim at her target and attack directly.


    She looked straight into Zhuang Bai¡¯s eyes and asked with a smile, ¡°Are you single now? Is there anyone you like around you?¡±


    Zhuang Bai¡¯s grip on the food container tightened. He did not expect her to be so direct.


    Zhuang Bai thought she would at least restrain herself a little after his previous silence, but he didn¡¯t expect this person not to play by the rules at all.


    He didn¡¯t even know Mo Ye¡¯s name!


    Seeing Zhuang Bai falling silent, Mo Ye began to feel guilty again, a rare sight for her.


    This was because Miss Mo had never had stage fright before. Today, in front of Zhuang Bai, this was the second time.


    Mo Ye couldn¡¯t grasp Zhuang Bai¡¯s meaning, and the expression on her face was almost at its breaking point, her eyes already revealing a disappointed look.


    Looking at her like this, Zhuang Bai felt an inexplicable pity.

 Chapter 432 - 432 Chapter 432. Your Name

    432 Chapter 432. Your Name


    Zhuang Bai smiled lightly, like a spring breeze blowing on his face. His eyes hinted at slyness as he said, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you introduce yourself before you ask me about these things? I don¡¯t even know your name.¡±


    If Mo Ye had not been in the business world for so many years and had not accumulated some experience in dealing with big situations and remaining calm in the face of danger, she would probably have been seduced by this terrible man Zhuang Bai until she lost her bearings!


    Zhuang Bai had a gentle and unique temperament, which attracted Mo Ye the most!


    She was slightly taken aback, as if she had just realized that she had not introduced herself to Zhuang Bai during their conversation. What had she been doing all along the way?


    She seemed to only care about talking to Zhuang Bai, and Zhuang Bai did not interrupt her. The smile on his handsome and gentle face did not stop.


    Mo Ye felt the current situation was awkward for the first time.


    She wanted to look away without saying anything, but she found that Zhuang Bai was looking at her with a smile and a hint of ridicule in his eyes.


    Zhuang Bai felt that the woman in front of him was fascinating. When he was biding his time and watching the situation unfold, she took the initiative and was extremely generous. That honest and bold look made him feel that she was some heroine.


    But now, it seemed she was not so bold anymore. She even knew how to be shy and restrained. It was not easy!


    ¡°What is this? You don¡¯t even plan to tell me your name yet still want to find out so much about me?¡± Zhuang Bai teased Mo Ye gently when he saw that Mo Ye had stopped talking.


    When Mo Ye heard this, she cleared her throat slightly and suppressed the laughter in her heart. Just as she was about to answer Zhuang Bai¡¯s question, Mo Qian beat her. ¡°Sister! What are you guys doing?¡±


    Zhuang Bai turned his head and saw two people standing before them.


    The sky was slowly turning dark. With the help of the dim yellow street lights, Zhuang Bai looked at Mo Qian, sitting in a wheelchair.


    He felt that this person looked very familiar. After a long while, he finally reacted. Wasn¡¯t this the only Prince of the Mo Financial Group, Mo Qian? However, he should be the head of the family now.


    However, why did Mo Qian suddenly appear here? Did the Mo family have any influence in the military? And most importantly, Mo Qian called the woman beside him ¡®sister¡¯?


    Wasn¡¯t Mo Qian the only son of the Mo family? When did he have an older sister?


    There were some doubts in Zhuang Bai¡¯s heart. He quietly sized up the two people, thought for a moment, and then asked Mo Ye gently, ¡°You and President Mo are brother and sister?¡±


    Mo Ye saw that Mo Qian had broken such a good atmosphere, and she angrily glared at her younger brother.


    After hearing Zhuang Bai¡¯s question, she turned around and looked up at him. ¡°That¡¯s right. Mo Qian is my younger brother. However, we don¡¯t come from the same father and mother. I¡¯m his cousin.¡±


    As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Zhuang Bai and smiled. When she spoke again, her expression had become grave. ¡°Hello, Zhuang Bai; my name is Mo Ye! I¡¯m the CEO of the Mo Corporation¡¯s branch in T City. Please take care of me in the future!¡±


    Seeing Mo Ye raise her hand in front of him, Zhuang Bai pursed his lips and smiled. He reached out, half-held Mo Ye¡¯s fingers, nodded, and said, ¡°Hello! I¡¯ve just returned to the country, so I can¡¯t teach you. We can learn from each other!¡±


    Zhuang Bai felt that Mo Ye¡¯s fingertips were slightly cold. The sky was about to turn dark, and the evening wind would be cool. They shouldn¡¯t foolishly stay outside.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go over,¡± he suggested. ¡°I¡¯ll go and say hello to President Mo.¡±


    Mo Ye looked at him, nodded, and said, ¡°Alright.¡±


    Mo Qian had been observing his cousin and Zhuang Bai since the beginning. Seeing no one responding to him, he fell silent and watched them speak quietly.


    He felt that something was wrong with Mo Ye. She seemed to be more excited than usual.


    Naturally, he knew Zhuang Bai. Mo Qian could be considered to know everyone in the Zhuang family. After all, he was going to pursue the Zhuang family¡¯s precious daughter. He had to be fully prepared for this lesson!


    As he watched Zhuang Bai walk towards him, Mo Qian gave him a kind smile and said warmly, ¡°I was wondering who it was, so it¡¯s young Master Zhuang!¡±

 Chapter 433 - 433 Chapter 433. Zhuang Bais Suspicion

    433 Chapter 433. Zhuang Bai¡¯s Suspicion


    ¡°Why did you suddenly come back? I¡¯ve heard from uncle Zhuang that the company you¡¯re managing overseas has been developing by leaps and bounds recently. You¡¯ve already secured many foreign projects.¡±


    Zhuang Bai looked at the very approachable young Master Mo in front of him and felt a little confused. Where did this familiar and intimate feeling come from?


    Ming En Corporation had indeed been collaborating with the Mo Corporation recently. He could occasionally hear news about Mo Qian from his father¡¯s mouth, but he didn¡¯t know that his father and Mo Qian¡¯s relationship had become so close!


    One must know that it was not easy to get the honorific ¡®uncle¡¯ from Mo Qian¡¯s mouth!


    This meant that Mo Qian had honestly treated his father as an elder that needed to be respected. He was no longer just an ordinary company CEO.


    ¡°I just got off the plane this afternoon. I¡¯ve already completed the preliminary work at the company, so I thought of coming back to visit my family. President Mo, you¡¯re too kind. The project we have is nothing compared to the Mo Corporation.¡± Zhuang Bai replied softly. His tone was more distant and polite, very different from when he talked to Mo Ye.


    Zhuang Bai wasn¡¯t someone who didn¡¯t know his limits. He knew what he had to do. Mo Qian was close to Zhuang Ming, but that didn¡¯t mean he was a friend.


    Young Master Zhuang was overthinking things. Not only did Mo Qian want to be his friend, but he also wanted to be his only brother-in-law.


    However, Zhuang Bai was unaware of the complicated relationship between his sister and Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian chuckled, looked at Zhuang Bai, and said gently, ¡°President Zhuang, you¡¯re being too humble.¡±


    Mo Ye stood at the side, watching the two suddenly be polite and civil to each other. She found it very interesting and couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°What¡¯s going on between the two of you? Didn¡¯t you all come here to wait for Zhuang Xian? Why are you making it so official and polite?¡±


    She laughed lightly and teased him. Then, she looked at Mo Qian and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you come here to chase Zhuang Xian? Where is she? Could she still be angry? Are you that bad at coaxing people?¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at his cousin, who was eager to see the world in chaos while observing Zhuang Bai¡¯s expression from the corner of his eye.


    When Zhuang Bai walked over to him, he had already seen the food container in Zhuang Bai¡¯s hand. Zhuang Bai should be here to look for Zhuang Xian.


    That was indeed the case. The things in the bag were definitely for Zhuang Xian.


    As Mo Qian thought of this, he replied with a faint smile, ¡°Today, they were training around the mountain. They were covered in dirt the whole day. She went back to wash up and should be coming down soon. I¡¯ll wait for her here and take her to eat.¡±


    As Zhuang Bai listened to Mo Qian¡¯s words to Mo Ye, a faint suspicion appeared between his brows. He did not choose to remain silent but asked directly, ¡°President Mo, are you close to Zhuang Xian?¡±


    Logically speaking, this sister of his should not have had any interactions with someone like Mo Qian. Why did it seem like the two of them were very familiar? Mo Qian knew what Zhuang Xian had done and what she would do today! This was very strange.


    Thinking back to what had happened at the infirmary entrance, Zhuang Bai had a strange guess in his heart. Could it be that Mo Qian was like that boy and liked his sister?


    He hadn¡¯t even seen Zhuang Xian with his own eyes yet, and he had already bumped into his sister¡¯s two suitors. This has confused our young Master Zhuang.


    Not knowing if he should laugh or be confused, Zhuang Bai fixed his eyes on Mo Qian, hoping to get some information from his eyes and expression.


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Bai and nodded his head lightly. He opened his mouth and said, ¡°I am close to her. Zhuang Xian has helped me a lot. I am very grateful to her.


    I¡¯m not only familiar with her, but I¡¯ve also been pursuing her, but she¡¯s always been hesitant! Mo Qian thought to himself. He didn¡¯t tell Zhuang Bai the truth. He felt that since this was his first time meeting Zhuang Bai, he should leave a good impression.


    To tell the elder brother that he liked his sister and was pursuing her didn¡¯t seem like Mo Qian¡¯s style.


    Zhuang Bai nodded his head in confusion. He was about to ask something else when Mo Ye, who had suddenly spoken, caught his attention.

 Chapter 434 - 434 Chapter 434. Losing Control of Her Emotions

    434 Chapter 434. Losing Control of Her Emotions


    Mo Ye looked at Zhuang Xian, walking towards them from the dormitory gate, and reminded them softly, ¡°Zhuang Xian¡¯s coming down. If you two have anything to say, you can talk later! This child hasn¡¯t had dinner yet. Let¡¯s quickly take her to the canteen. Grandma is already waiting for her there.¡±


    After hearing Mo Ye¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai¡¯s brows slightly furrowed.


    He was getting increasingly confused, but now was not the time to discuss this. He turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who was walking over. He wanted to show his approachable aura to his sister, who he was meeting for the first time.


    However, when he clearly saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Bai was a little stunned.


    Zhuang Xian had imagined many times that the next time she met her brother, it would be at home, accompanied by her parents and two brothers, welcoming her brother back from abroad.


    In her previous life, Zhuang Bai had only returned from abroad after she had entered the University and started her lessons.


    Zhuang Xian could still remember the scene from that day. It was the first time that all the members of the Zhuang family had gathered together and had their first dinner.


    That dinner had a different meaning to Lin En and Zhuang Ming, who had just brought her back to the Zhuang family from the orphanage.


    It was the beginning of her new life and a vital intersection point with her previous tragic fate.


    Zhuang Xian had always been very grateful to these relatives of the Zhuang family. It was them who had given her hope to start over. However, the more grateful and hopeful she felt, the more remorseful and accusatory she felt toward the things she had done in her previous life!


    After being used and deceived by Ye Zheng, Shen Min, and Ye Xin time and time again, she slowly lost her true self.


    How could she forget that the Zhuang family helped her out of her predicament? The Ye family gave her just some cheap and hypocritical love. She shouldn¡¯t have believed them so quickly!


    Zhuang Bai¡¯s sudden appearance caused Zhuang Xian to sink into the memories of her previous life. There was not much of an expression on her beautiful face, but her eyes seemed to be able to speak. She was pouring out the heavy feelings in the depths of her heart to Zhuang Bai and Mo Qian, but she had nowhere to vent her sadness and joy!


    It was as if he had crossed mountains and rivers, time and sea of people, and finally reunited with an old friend at this point after thousands of coincidences or misfortunes in her life.


    The surprise in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes was so much that it seemed like it was about to overflow.


    Zhuang Bai felt as if his heart had been burned by something, and his eyes began to heat up for no reason.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, I¡¯m your big brother!¡± He smiled at Zhuang Xian.


    Just as Zhuang Bai¡¯s words left his mouth, Zhuang Xian threw herself into Zhuang Bai¡¯s arms with her long hair draped over her shoulders and red eyes.


    The girl¡¯s hair was still slightly wet, and there was a faint fragrance. Her body was also fresh and clean. She was like an angel who had fallen into the world!


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian, who had suddenly plunged into Zhuang Bai¡¯s arms. His mouth was slightly agape, and he was a little surprised. He did not know what was wrong with Zhuang Xian, but his heart was gently throbbing in pain.


    He felt that this was not a simple first meeting. After experiencing many things, Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Bai reunited.


    Mo Ye, standing beside Mo Qian, was equally confused and surprised. She looked at the stunned Zhuang Bai, then at Zhuang Xian, who had her face buried in Zhuang Bai¡¯s chest. Her head was filled with confusion.


    Was this how a typical brother and sister would act when they met? Why did they look more like a couple?


    As Mo Ye thought of this, he looked at Mo Qian and imagined her and Mo Qian embracing each other affectionately. She trembled unconsciously and said in a soft voice of disdain, ¡°Eh? It¡¯s so disgusting!¡±


    Hearing Mo Ye¡¯s voice, Mo Qian returned to his senses and asked subconsciously, ¡°What did you just say?¡±


    Mo Ye shook her head lightly to show that there was nothing. She did not want to tell Mo Qian about her imagination in case one person¡¯s disgust became the disgust of two people.


    Zhuang Bai was stunned for a moment when Zhuang Xian hugged him. He subconsciously reached out and gently patted Zhuang Xian¡¯s back. He felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.


    He was sure that this was the first time he had seen this sister of his, but there were many complicated and obscure emotions flowing in his heart.

 Chapter 435 - 435 Chapter 435. Reunion After a Long Time

    435 Chapter 435. Reunion After a Long Time


    It was as if he had forgotten something significant, and the Zhuang Xian in front of him was the key to unlocking these memories. A vague sense of sadness and joy surged in Zhuang Bai¡¯s heart.


    He was sure he had not remembered anything, but the complicated emotions that Zhuang Xian had stirred up were genuine!


    After trying his best to calm down, Zhuang Bai patted Zhuang Xian¡¯s shoulder and asked gently, ¡°What is this? Why are you still crying? Were you bullied in school? Or is there something that you¡¯re unhappy about?¡±


    His unconscious concern came naturally and peacefully as if he had done it many times before. Even he was a little shocked. Today was the first time he had met Zhuang Xian!


    Zhuang Xian tried to suppress the excitement in her heart and control her emotions. However, her eyes were still red, and the tears falling down her face told her she could not control herself.


    She looked up at Zhuang Bai in front of her and let her tears fall freely, but she still had a very stubborn smile on her lips. ¡°I¡¯m fine! I¡¯m just a little too happy to see my big brother! Please don¡¯t mind me. ¡±


    As she spoke, she took half a step back.


    Even though people surrounded her, no one could truly understand her joy and sadness at this moment. Even Mo Qian had a puzzled expression.


    Rebirth might be a blessing, but it could also be the loneliest thing. No one truly understood the burden on your shoulders, the pain, and the happiness you¡¯ve experienced in your heart. All these things only belonged to the tiny and ethereal Zhuang Xian in this big world.


    Looking at Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Bai¡¯s heart ached a little. He chuckled and replied, ¡°Why would I mind? I¡¯m happy you¡¯re not shy with strangers and can get along with me! I¡¯ve been busy with other things outside, so I didn¡¯t welcome you properly when you got home. You¡¯re not angry, are you?¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian with a doting expression and said gently, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you¡¯re outraged. I brought you a lot of gifts. I promise you¡¯ll be in a good mood after you see them.¡±


    Zhuang Bai so amused Zhuang Xian that her tears turned into laughter. She looked up at her older brother, who was much younger than she remembered, and shook her head as she replied, ¡°How could I be angry with big brother? I didn¡¯t expect a big brother to come back so soon; it¡¯s a surprise!¡±


    Looking at the tears on Zhuang Bai¡¯s chest, Zhuang Xian felt slightly embarrassed.


    An unusually cheerful smile bloomed on her beautiful face, so beautiful that it dazzled the eyes of the people around her.


    Lin Feng stood behind Zhang Yang and Li Qin. He looked at Zhuang Xian, then turned his head to look at Mo Qian beside her. He had a complicated feeling in his heart.


    There was no need for anyone to introduce him. He could tell at a glance that this man was the most eye-catching in the crowd. He must be the Mo Qian that instructor Lei Cheng had mentioned, the one who liked Zhuang Xian.


    He was indeed an outstanding person!


    This was the first time Zhang Yang had seen sister Xian so emotional. He was stunned.


    He looked at Zhuang Bai, whom Zhuang Xian had called big brother, and thought to himself, ¡°As expected of the eldest son of the Zhuang family. His aura is something that ordinary people can¡¯t compare to! When he stood next to their sister Xian, he was also very eye-catching!


    He thought about all these things and slowly looked at his brother. When Lin Feng returned just now, he already had a hunch that his confession had failed.


    He had never seen Lin Feng in such a dazed state. Lin Feng looked as if his entire person had been downgraded by a level, with a hint of gray and frustration.


    Mo Qian kept looking at Zhuang Xian, standing in front of Zhuang Bai as if he was trying to get some information from her expression that could answer the questions in his heart.


    However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s current emotions were a little too complicated. Mo Qian couldn¡¯t get any helpful information from this simple observation.


    He let out a sigh of relief and moved his wheelchair closer to Zhuang Xian. With a smile, he looked up at Zhuang Xian and said gently, ¡°Alright, stop crying! It¡¯s a cold night; what if you catch a cold crying like this? Aren¡¯t you hungry? I¡¯ll take you to dinner!¡±


    He glanced at the bag in Zhuang Bai¡¯s hand as he spoke and smiled. ¡°Brother Zhuang, you should come too. My grandma is waiting for us there!¡±


    Mo Ye looked at Mo Qian, slightly raising his eyebrows. He instinctively felt that his words and actions at the moment were strange and suspicious.

 Chapter 436 - 436 Chapter 436. What a Coincidence

    436 Chapter 436. What a Coincidence


    Since when did Mo Qian have the habit of calling others big brother the moment he saw them? She was just jealous of how close Zhuang Xian was with her brother!


    Mo Ye thought, the corners of her mouth rising into a smile. She understood what he meant.


    She glanced at the slightly surprised Zhuang Bai and chimed, ¡°Yeah, yeah! Let¡¯s all hurry over. Today is such a coincidence. We can all get together and have a meal! Zhuang Xian, get your friends to come; we¡¯ll go together!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian shifted her gaze away from Mo Qian and silently retracted it.


    She tilted her head and glanced at Mo Ye, then smiled at her to show her agreement.


    She then turned around to look at Li Qin and Zhang Yang, as well as Lin Feng, who did not look too happy. She said softly, ¡°If you¡¯re willing to come along, then come along. I won¡¯t force you to do anything else.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she did not even look at Lin Feng. She tugged at Zhuang Bai¡¯s sleeve and gestured for Li Qin to follow her. Then, she walked in front.


    Mo Ye and Mo Qian exchanged a look and followed behind. The group walked in the direction of the canteen.


    However, the two people standing at the back of the group didn¡¯t move.


    Zhang Yang looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s clean and neat back, then turned to look at his brother beside him. He let out a subtle sigh. ¡°So, you don¡¯t plan to go to the instructors¡¯ cafeteria on the second floor of the base with sister Xian and the others? If you¡¯re not going, I¡¯m not going either. I¡¯ll stay with you!¡±


    Lin Feng looked at the back of the figure in front of him and was silent for a while. He then retracted his gaze.


    He glanced at Zhang Yang and said, ¡°If you want to go, go! Do you know how precious young Master Mo¡¯s banquet is? Many people would want to do that, but they might not be able to! It¡¯s a rare opportunity!¡±


    Zhang Yang laughed and put his arm around Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder. He grinned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s precious. Who can be more important than my brother? You¡¯re already ¡®broken up¡¯ today, so I must keep you company! If you say I¡¯m not loyal enough again, where will I go and complain?¡±


    Lin Feng felt so angry that he was about to laugh out loud at Zhang Yang.


    He looked at Zhang Yang helplessly, but his eyes showed a smile. ¡°I just failed in my confession. I¡¯m not heartbroken. Zhuang Xian is a great girl who deserves to be loved by someone better. I don¡¯t regret being honest with her.¡±


    Zhang Yang did not expect Lin Feng to change so much in just one afternoon.


    He put an arm around Lin Feng¡¯s shoulder and walked forward, still teasing him, ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell! Did you change so quickly this afternoon? You¡¯re very perceptive, brother!¡±


    Lin Feng smiled bitterly and did not say anything. Zhang Yang held his shoulder and led him to the canteen.


    In fact, at this moment, both of them understood that some people and some things could not be obtained just because you wanted them.


    The world was full of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. People often had to learn to let go and be more open-minded.


    On the second floor of the canteen in the Blue Eagle Base, there were still many people eating at this time. Lei Cheng quickly arranged a private room and waited for the others to arrive.


    Didn¡¯t Mo Ye say she would bring Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian back?


    He didn¡¯t know if Mo Qian could coax her, but judging from Zhuang Xian¡¯s temperament, she didn¡¯t seem to be a petty person. He didn¡¯t know what was happening today, but everyone acted strangely.


    Lei Cheng¡¯s not-so-bright brain struggled to think of these things, and he became the only confused person on the scene.


    When Mo Qian led Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Bai in, grandma Mo was still pleased. She warmly invited everyone to take a seat. When she looked at Zhuang Xian, who was beside Mo Qian, her expression was gentler.


    ¡°Just now, this Junior¡¯s eyes were dull, and I didn¡¯t recognize old Madam. Please don¡¯t be angry.¡± Zhuang Bai didn¡¯t know why he had been dragged to this dinner party out of the blue.


    However, since he was already here, he should take things as they came. He still had to perform some social etiquette. He had indeed been careless just now.


    Seeing Zhuang Bai¡¯s decorum and thoughtfulness, Mo Ye¡¯s satisfaction with this man immediately rose to another level.

 Chapter 437 - 437 Chapter 437. An Extra Meal With Love

    437 Chapter 437. An Extra Meal With Love


    Mo Ye stood behind Zhuang Bai and gave his grandmother a look, signaling her to look over.


    Old Madam Mo didn¡¯t want to pay attention to her granddaughter¡¯s antics, but how she looked at Zhuang Bai was exceptionally kind.


    She opened her mouth and said with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? You¡¯ve not been in the country for a long time. You¡¯re unfamiliar with people like us who don¡¯t often move around in City H. This is very normal. Why would I blame you? Let¡¯s not talk about this. How has your mother been? The last time I saw her was at a banquet in the new year! I haven¡¯t been in good health this year and have been recuperating in the old residence. I¡¯ve rarely been out in City H.¡±


    Zhuang Bai listened patiently and respectfully to old Madam Mo¡¯s words while following Mo Qian¡¯s instructions and sat on Zhuang Xian¡¯s right, with Mo Ye sitting opposite her.


    He gently smiled at old Lady Mo and said, ¡°Old Madam, you¡¯re so generous! I appreciate your concern, old Madam. My mother has been doing well recently.¡±


    Mo Su nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good. You left in a hurry, so I didn¡¯t have time to talk to you. Did you come to the base to bring Zhuang Xian some good food?¡±


    She looked at the food box beside Zhuang Xian as she spoke and smiled gently. ¡°You¡¯re a good child, so attentive! It¡¯s Zhuang Xian¡¯s good fortune to have such a good brother like you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian was a little unsure of old Madam Mo¡¯s attitude. She also could not understand why Mo Qian had brought his old Lady and cousin with him for this acupuncture session. He couldn¡¯t possibly be worried that she would poison him, right?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind was in a mess as she subconsciously shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She had been through too much this afternoon.


    After seeing her big brother, she was even happier and more excited. In a short time, her emotions fluctuated too quickly, and it was pretty tiring.


    Listening to Zhuang Bai and old Madam Mo¡¯s small talk, Zhuang Xian was also happy to have peace. She did not have to deal with these wise elders who were like foxes.


    She looked at her eldest brother, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up.


    It seemed to be the same in her previous life. No matter the occasion, as long as her big brother and parents were around, she could always be an obedient baby who only had to lower her head to eat. She didn¡¯t have to worry about these things at all.


    Thinking about the past, Zhuang Xian almost fell into a trance.


    Today was the first time she had met her brother in this life, but they were so close that it was as if they had never been apart.


    However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s dazed state lasted only a very short moment. Mo Qian, silently observing her from the side, had already looked at her with dissatisfaction for a long time!


    Mo Qian inched closer to Zhuang Xian and said softly, ¡°Your big brother won¡¯t be able to escape! Can you eat your dinner first? It¡¯s almost eight o¡¯clock at night; aren¡¯t you hungry?¡±


    Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and subconsciously turned to look at Mo Qian. She seemed to be in a good mood.


    She nodded at Mo Qian and replied softly, ¡°A little.¡±


    ¡°Then why do you keep staring at your big brother? Will you be full just by looking at him?¡± Mo Qian¡¯s voice was very low and magnetic. He deliberately lowered his voice so that only the two could hear.


    Upon hearing Mo Qian¡¯s undisguised sourish words, Zhuang Xian smiled and looked at him without saying a word. Her eyes were filled with amusement, but she was also slightly speechless.


    Sighing lightly, she lifted her hand to open the food container beside her. This action of hers immediately attracted the attention of Li Qin, who was sitting beside Mo Qian.


    He tilted his head and looked over, asking curiously, ¡°What is this, sister Xian? Can I take a look?¡±


    Li Qin¡¯s cat-petting appearance did not escape the eyes of the table of intelligent people.


    Zhuang Bai turned around to look at him and said warmly, ¡°It¡¯s sweet and sour pork ribs.¡±


    ¡°Did Mommy make this?¡± Zhuang Xian replied.


    ¡°I brought a little too little today,¡± Zhuang Bai nodded and explained, ¡°You two can eat a little each to satisfy your cravings! I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be able to eat to your heart¡¯s content when you go home.¡±


    Li Qin chuckled when he heard this and replied happily, ¡°That¡¯s great. With my friendship with sister Xian, I won¡¯t be polite to you! Thank you, big brother, Zhuang Bai!¡±


    As he spoke, he carried the plate and walked toward Zhuang Xian. He happily took some of the food. It was an extra meal from Zhuang Xian¡¯s mother!

 Chapter 438 - 438 Chapter 438. Each With Their Own Thoughts

    438 Chapter 438. Each With Their Own Thoughts


    Zhuang Xian gave some to Li Qin helplessly, then picked up her chopsticks and put a piece into her mouth.


    Fortunately, there was a thermal food container to keep it warm. This mother¡¯s brand of sweet and sour ribs was as delicious as ever.


    The corners of her lips curled up slightly. When she looked at the others, she realized everyone was looking at her. Taken somewhat aback, Zhuang Xian said softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Everyone, hurry up and eat!¡±


    Mo Ye looked at Zhuang Xian, then at Li Qin, and said with a faint smile, ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone, let¡¯s get moving! After the small conflict, we can be considered to have become friends after a fight.¡±


    As Mo Ye spoke, she exchanged a look with Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Xian was a little embarrassed. After smiling at her, she retracted her gaze and began to eat in silence, but in her heart, she was scolding Li Qin!


    Li Qin also felt a little guilty, but he was thick-skinned, so when Mo Ye looked at him, he laughed and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, pretty sister! I was the one who was stupid when I scolded you like that! Please don¡¯t stoop to my level. Can you be a generous person and spare me this time?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Li Qin¡¯s humble and ingratiating words, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. However, only Mo Qian, who had been watching her the entire time, noticed this.


    Mo Qian felt that Zhuang Xian was especially lively and happy tonight. She was suddenly different from her usual image.


    The Zhuang Xian now was more like a youthful and sunny girl!


    Looking at Zhuang Xian in this state, Mo Qian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. The pain in his heart from her crying had finally dissipated a little.


    He knew the current situation was not suitable for him to ask Zhuang Xian about these things. He thought that he would ask her again during the acupuncture later!


    Mo Ye looked at Li Qin, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.¡±Yo! How can you be so sweet? That¡¯s not what you said to me just now, and now you¡¯re calling me pretty sister?¡±


    Zhuang Bai looked at Mo Ye without a trace, his eyes filled with warmth that he didn¡¯t know.


    Even if Zhuang Xian did not see the interaction between her brother and Mo Ye, she should have understood now that she had seen these things.


    In her previous life, her older brother Zhuang Bai had been hurt by An Ye¡¯s lies and schemes.


    He had not married his entire life and had spent the rest of his life alone and cold. In her previous life, before Ye Xin and Gao Peng tormented Zhuang Xian to the point of insanity, she had only heard the news of her three brothers leaving their homes and escaping abroad in a sorry state.


    Now that she thought about it, Zhuang Bai, who had been shocked by the grievous news of his parents¡¯ death, must have been the most pained one!


    She had let the Zhuang family down so often that she could not count them!


    As Zhuang Xian thought about this, the smile on her face suddenly turned bitter. However, she concealed it very well, so no one should have noticed.


    Of course, that excluded Mo Qian, who had been watching her from the start. Everyone had their thoughts during dinner tonight. Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood had been volatile because of Zhuang Bai¡¯s sudden appearance.


    She didn¡¯t say much during the meal to hide her unusual behavior.


    On the other hand, Mo Qian had been observing Zhuang Xian silently. He would occasionally echo Lei Cheng¡¯s words and say a few words, but he was also exceptionally silent.


    Thus, the most active people at the table became Mo Ye and Li Qin, who were always joking with each other, and the gentle and refined Zhuang Bai, who often chatted with them.


    Even old Mrs. Mo was smiling as she looked at the people at the table, especially Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian, who didn¡¯t talk much.


    Naturally, Zhuang Bai wasn¡¯t just chatting with anyone. He had obtained quite a bit of information.


    At least he knew a little about why Mo Qian was so close to his sister.


    Zhuang Bai had never thought that his new sister would have such skills. She even knew the green-robed apothecary from Saint Valley Medicine. Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s background must be extraordinary.


    Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was an old illness that had been there for many years. For such a complicated illness, that medicine master called Qing Yi could even try it. How powerful must she be!


    Of course, this was not what shocked Zhuang Bai the most. What made him extraordinarily shocked and confused was how did Zhuang Xian get to know such a person?

 Chapter 439 - 439 Chapter 439. Matchmaker

    439 Chapter 439. Matchmaker


    Zhuang Xian was only 16 years old this year and had grown up in an orphanage. Wasn¡¯t it surprising that she had such a fortuitous encounter?


    Young Master Zhuang¡¯s trip to Blue Eagle Base had filled his head with questions.


    However, it was not appropriate for him to ask his sister directly in the current situation. He could only swallow these questions and think of having a good chat with his sister after her military training ended.


    It was already an hour later when the dinner ended. Zhuang Bai¡¯s matter had been settled, so it was not good for him to stay in the base any longer. After bidding farewell to his sister, he left.


    Mo Ye stood at the door of the dormitory building, watching Zhuang Bai¡¯s back as he left. She was in an excellent mood and smiled.


    Zhuang Xian took all of this into her eyes, and some thoughts slowly formed in her heart. Perhaps this cousin of Mo Qian¡¯s would be a good match for her big brother?


    After all, in her previous life, this Mo Ye had never appeared before her. Looking at the carefree and beautiful atmosphere between her and her brother, Zhuang Xian felt that she could be sure that her brother treated this Mo Ye very differently! And Mo Ye seemed to like big brother a lot.


    Wasn¡¯t this kind of mutual affection and favorable impression of back and forth between a good couple that hit it off at once?


    Zhuang Xian, who had already experienced two lifetimes, believed that she accurately judged people in this life.


    This sister Mo Ye looked like a very bright and cheerful person. She was also a person who lived a very carefree and understanding life. It just happened that she could become a complementary and balanced state with her big brother Zhuang Bai. They were simply a match made in heaven!


    As Zhuang Xian thought about this, she raised her hand and took the wheelchair from Mo Xi¡¯s hands. She looked at Mo Qian with a sly look and asked softly, ¡°Is this sister Mo Ye single? Is there anyone she likes?¡±


    If Zhuang Bai were still here and had heard this, he would have been shocked by the chemistry between Zhuang Xian and Mo Ye. They had such a strange tacit understanding, and their questions were the same!


    Naturally, Mo Qian was not aware of this. Mo Ye and old Madam Mo were walking in front of them, so they could not hear the conversation between Zhuang Xian and Mo Qian.


    When Mo Qian heard this, he gave Zhuang Xian a strange look and asked gently, ¡°Why are you asking this? You seem to be interested in Mo Ye the entire night. Why?¡±


    Zhuang Xian thought about it and felt this was a good thing, so there was nothing to hide. She explained, ¡°Don¡¯t you think your cousin and my big brother look very compatible? Their aura is very compatible, and I can see that sister Mo Ye seems to have a good impression of my big brother. What do you think?¡±


    Mo Qian could not help but feel happy as he enjoyed the girl he loved the most whispering into his ear. His beautiful Phoenix eyes were filled with joy and happiness.


    He chuckled and whispered to Zhuang Xian, ¡°You can even tell? Do you want to be the matchmaker? Not only do you want to be the matchmaker, but you also want to drag me along?¡±


    As Mo Qian asked these questions, he happily received a light glare from Zhuang Xian.


    The smile on his face became more apparent, and he said gently, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. Mo Ye does like men like your brother. When she met your father at the party yesterday, she didn¡¯t even blink. Today, your big brother just barged into her line of sight like this. How can he escape her ¡®evil claws¡¯?


    This cousin of mine is a very carefree and straightforward person! When she likes someone, she places great importance on the feeling. I think your idea will work!¡±


    Mo Qian repeatedly nodded as he spoke to show that he agreed with Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts. However, only he knew the bitterness in his heart.


    Zhuang Xian, this silly girl, didn¡¯t even know her feelings, and she was already thinking of getting someone else together. He didn¡¯t know if he should call her warm-hearted. Or was she heartless? She hadn¡¯t even learned how to walk, but she already wanted to fly!


    Young Master Mo was also somewhat helpless about this, but he did not dare to show it on his face. He could only complain in his heart.


    He had no choice. Who asked Zhuang Xian to control him so tightly? What else could he do if he did not pamper his baby?

 Chapter 440 - 440 Chapter 440. Conspiracy

    440 Chapter 440. Conspiracy


    Mo Qian¡¯s mind was filled with random thoughts as he continued to chat with Zhuang Xian.


    Meanwhile, Mo Ye, who was walking in front of them and supporting old Madam Mo, had no idea that her good brother had already started working with her future sister-in-law to help her fulfill her wish!


    If Mo Ye knew about this, she would probably be happy to see it happen. Her eyes might light up, and she would hold Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand to show her sincerity.


    Mo Ye and Zhuang Xian were very similar in some aspects. However, when Zhuang Xian thought about or did things, she was more thoughtful and detailed than Mo Ye.


    After all, she was someone who had experienced two lifetimes. If she remained naive and innocent, it would no longer be in line with her psychological maturity.


    As for what happened after that, Zhuang Bai, who had already left in advance, naturally had no way of knowing.


    Zhuang Bai held the steering wheel and looked lazily at the traffic lights in front. Suddenly, a chill crept up to the back of his neck from nowhere.


    He couldn¡¯t help but tremble slightly, and his intuition told him something was wrong.


    Am I going to catch a cold? As young Master Zhuang thought about this, he looked at the green lights in front of him and quickly started the car.


    He hadn¡¯t adjusted to the time difference since he returned from abroad. He didn¡¯t want to fall sick right after he got some rest. That wouldn¡¯t be good.


    Zhuang Bai didn¡¯t know that his sister and future brother-in-law had already set him up to match him with Mo Ye!


    Young Master Zhuang had a sense of crisis, but it was not too much.


    In the instructors¡¯ dormitory at Blue Eagle Base, Lei Cheng was about to say goodbye to Mo Qian after he had sent the Mo family over.


    Old man Li, Li Zhen, was still waiting for him to report to him in the meeting room!


    Mo Qian looked at Lei Cheng and smiled. He nodded and replied, ¡°Then you should go quickly. Don¡¯t let my matters delay your work.¡±


    Lei Cheng glanced at Zhuang Xian behind him and chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re still being polite with me? I already mentioned this to Zhuang Xian last time. When your sister-in-law comes to City H, let¡¯s have a good gathering! You can¡¯t take the lead! You didn¡¯t attend my wedding last time! Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll let you off so easily just because you¡¯ve given me a big gift. Let me tell you, you can¡¯t!¡±


    Mo Qian could not help but laugh when he heard this. He nodded and hurriedly replied, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! It¡¯s my fault. I got it; I¡¯ll be there on time.¡±


    ¡°This is more like it.¡± Lei Cheng replied with satisfaction. When he turned to look at Mo Su and Mo Ye again, he bowed slightly and said goodbye politely, ¡°Old Madam, young Miss! Then I¡¯ll take my leave first! This dormitory is very clean and tidy, and it is also hushed. You guys can do as you please.¡±


    Mo Su nodded at Lei Cheng and smiled gently, ¡°Good child, thank you! You should quickly go and do your things. It¡¯s been hard on you to entertain us tonight.¡±


    Lei Cheng hurriedly said no, no; he got up and left with a smile, looking back with each step.


    What a joke. Who could bear old Mrs. Mo¡¯s ¡®Thank you¡¯ and ¡®You¡¯ve worked hard¡¯ in the entire City H? Wasn¡¯t she trying to kill him? The old Madam was gentle and modest, but he should not accept it like this. It was not a rule.


    As he thought about this, he arrived outside the dormitory building, still feeling waves of excitement.


    Mo Qian looked into the room and saw Zhuang Xian preparing for acupuncture. Without turning his head, he said softly, ¡°Grandma, why did you have to tease Lei Cheng like that? Look, he¡¯s so scared that he¡¯s running outside.¡±


    Old Madam Mo¡¯s eyes had been fixed on Zhuang Xian the entire time. As she watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s familiar actions, she grew to like this multi-talented child even more.


    ¡°When did I tease him?¡± she replied with a loving smile. ¡°That¡¯s just out of courtesy; it¡¯s just that Lei Cheng is too honest and cute; it has nothing to do with me. ¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at mo Qian, thought for a moment, and asked, ¡°Have you ever seen this medicine master in green? We should be grateful to him!¡±


    Upon hearing this, a ray of light flashed across Mo Qian¡¯s eyes. He knew what his grandmother was trying to ask. This old woman¡¯s cunning and wisdom were not something ordinary young people could compare to!


    Neither Mo Ye nor Zhuang Bai had noticed anything strange about this matter, but grandma could see it. Or perhaps, she had only sensed that something was amiss.

 Chapter 441 - 441 Chapter 441. A Joke?

    441 Chapter 441. A Joke?


    After all, the lie that he had made up for Zhuang Xian, or rather, that he had made in cooperation with Zhuang Xian, was hard to see without understanding the cause and effect.


    Who would have thought that the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family was the mysterious Holy maiden of Saint Valley Medicine, the famous medicine master in green?


    There was nothing in common between the two of them. They were simply two worlds that no one would believe even if they told others.


    However, if such a person were to be replaced by Zhuang Xian, Mo Qian felt that anyone who understood Zhuang Xian and was intelligent and sharp would be able to make the connection!


    What grandma Mo lacked now was an understanding of Zhuang Xian. As long as she could spend more time with Zhuang Xian, it was only a matter of time before she could figure out the truth. However, for now, it was better to hide it from her. Mo Qian thought.


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve already seen it, and apothecary Qing is very concerned about my injury. She¡¯s already revised her treatment plan several times.¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s handsome face was like an ancient well, deep and calm. As for what was beneath it, no one knew.


    Mo Su felt that she could not see through Mo Qian. After retracting her gaze, she replied gently, ¡°That¡¯s good. This is about whether you can stand up again in the future, so you have to put in the effort! If you need any help, remember to tell me.¡±


    ¡°I understand, grandma. I understand.¡± Mo Qian nodded in response. His eyes, which had been fixed on Zhuang Xian¡¯s back, suddenly met with Zhuang Xian¡¯s.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian, who was talking to old Mrs. Mo and pretended to clear her throat. She called out softly, ¡°Mo Qian! You can come over.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Xi took a step forward and pushed his young Master into the inner room.


    Mo Ye had been standing beside Zhuang Xian with a curious expression the whole time. She watched as Zhuang Xian fiddled with the things on the cart. When she saw Zhuang Xian calling Mo Qian in, she asked, ¡°It¡¯s about to start? What can we do to help?¡±


    Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze from Mo Qian¡¯s face and replied, ¡°There¡¯s nothing much I need help with. If Mo Qian struggles too much later, you and Mo Xi can hold him down.¡±


    Seeing Mo Ye¡¯s eyes widen and her face filled with disbelief, Zhuang Xian laughed and continued, ¡°I¡¯m just joking, don¡¯t mind me! Mo Qian¡¯s most difficult acupuncture session has passed. He¡¯ll get used to it more and more.¡±


    ¡°Heavens! You¡¯re naughty, Zhuang Xian; you scared me! How much pain must Mo Qian be in for two people to control him?¡± After listening to Zhuang Xian¡¯s follow-up words, Mo Ye let out a sigh of relief and said, with some lingering fear.


    However, looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm expression, Mo Ye realized she was not joking. At least the second half of her sentence did not sound like she was joking.


    Did that mean Mo Qian¡¯s first acupuncture session was the most difficult?


    ¡°The first time you performed acupuncture on Mo Qian in this dormitory?¡± Mo Ye asked, his eyes probing, ¡°So, is the acupuncture process painful? ¡°Did Mo Qian cry from the pain?¡±


    After listening to the first half of Mo Ye¡¯s words, Mo Qian, who had been slightly touched, was now speechless.


    He looked at Mo Ye and answered for Zhuang Xian, ¡°I didn¡¯t cry! Why? Still a little regretful? I find it very strange! Why do you look so happy when I¡¯m suffering? Are you my cousin?¡±


    As soon as Mo Ye heard Mo Qian¡¯s voice, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t make me sound heartless! I¡¯m naturally your sister. I don¡¯t have any regrets, but I was just a little curious! After all, ever since you left the old house, I rarely saw you, let alone see you cry. I miss you!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Mo Ye¡¯s words, she turned to look at Mo Qian. She could not imagine how Mo Qian would cry when he was young.


    There was gentleness and a smile in her eyes. How Mo Qian and Mo Ye got along as siblings were fascinating and fun.


    Perhaps too many outsiders, Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury was an obscure topic that could not be mentioned, a topic that would offend Mo Qian.


    However, this was not something that Mo Ye and his grandmother could not say. They were Mo Qian¡¯s only actual relatives left in this world!

 Chapter 442 - 442 Chapter 442. The Second Acupuncture Session

    442 Chapter 442. The Second Acupuncture Session


    If they were unwilling to help Mo Qian walk out of this shadow, Mo Qian would be pitiful and lonely.


    Therefore, Mo Ye¡¯s seemingly jesting jokes were another way to show her concern and love for Mo Qian.


    Mo Qian was indeed tough and powerful. That was right! However, no matter how arrogant he was, he was still just one person.


    As long as he was a human, he would need care and emotional ties so that he would not be cold-hearted and make people¡¯s lives boring!


    Zhuang Xian only felt that how Mo Ye and Mo Qian interacted was warm and exciting. She did not realize that there was a hidden reason behind this.


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian did not realize that her understanding of Mo Qian was shallow. It was so shallow that she could not understand many of Mo Qian¡¯s details and actions. This was also one of the main reasons for so many misunderstandings!


    In her relationship with Mo Qian, he had always taken the initiative while she was always in a passive state of acceptance. Hence, the feelings she had put into this relationship were not as much as what Mo Qian had put.


    Back to the current situation, Zhuang Xian had instructed Mo Xi to stand at the door so that he could appear whenever she needed his help.


    As for old Mrs. Mo and Mo Ye, they were invited by Zhuang Xian to the small living room outside to rest. She never liked to have others watching when she was performing acupuncture. Leaving Mo Xi behind was already to prevent any accidents from happening.


    Mo Qian was lying flat on the bed, leaning against the pillow. Zhuang Xian sat on his left side and lifted her hand to take some crystal clear ointment from the white medicine pot on the cart.


    After taking a look, she slowly applied it to Mo Qian¡¯s legs. Her expression was solemn as if she was doing something that could not be distracted.


    ¡°It seems that instructor Lei has indeed passed you the list I asked him to pass to you. This mixed elemental cream is very well made. The appearance and smell are not bad.¡±


    When he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s sudden words, Mo Qian chuckled. ¡°How would I dare to disobey your orders?¡± Of course, this excluded the matter of the medicinal cuisine that he had completely forgotten about.


    Naturally, Mo Qian did not say this in front of Zhuang Xian. He felt a little guilty.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands did not stop moving. She applied the mixed essence cream evenly on Mo Qian¡¯s two lower legs. Hearing his words, she replied softly, ¡°Oh? Have you eaten the medicinal cuisine I prepared for you?¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s heart panicked, thinking that what he was afraid of had come. However, he pretended to be calm on the surface and replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been eating them seriously!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Qian¡¯s face. After looking at him for a long time, she finally said, ¡°Do you know how we usually deal with patients who don¡¯t listen to medical advice in our Valley?¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by her.


    ¡°Why are you so surprised? Didn¡¯t you already know that I¡¯m Qing Yi?¡± As Zhuang Xian spoke, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She was still observing Mo Qian¡¯s expression from the corner of her eyes, but she said, ¡°Do you think that if you don¡¯t take the initiative to expose me, I won¡¯t be able to tell that you¡¯ve already found out? I won¡¯t hide it anymore, but you must keep it a secret for me, understand?¡±


    Looking at the girl who had suddenly become honest, Mo Qian could not help but laugh. His eyes were full of gentleness as he looked at her.


    He asked teasingly, ¡°Why do you suddenly not want to act? I¡¯ve been very cooperative with you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian glared at Mo Qian slightly. Seeing the teasing look on his face, she picked up a silver needle with her right hand and accurately and steadily inserted it into the acupuncture point on the sole of Mo Qian¡¯s foot. As she wished, she saw Mo Qian frown.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood improved a little, and she retorted, ¡°In Saint Valley Medicine if a patient disobeys the doctor¡¯s orders, they will suffer! Have you ever heard of the rattlesnake?¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s question, Mo Qian endured the stinging pain from the bottom of his foot and looked at the calm Zhuang Xian. He shook his head, indicating that he did not know.


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows and snorted in her heart. ¡®How dare a sickly person as you go against me? I can shut you up with just a finger!¡¯ she thought.


    As she thought about it, she pretended that nothing had happened.

 Chapter 443 - 443 Chapter 443, Distraction

    443 Chapter 443, Distraction


    Zhuang Xian picked up two more silver needles and nimbly inserted them into the other acupuncture points on the soles of Mo Qian¡¯s feet. She didn¡¯t forget to say, ¡°Don¡¯t think that the name of the rattlesnake and the rattlesnake are very similar, but they are entirely different things. The rattlesnake bee is extremely itchy, and in the later stages, it can swell the wound like a bun, but it¡¯s an excellent medicinal herb. It¡¯s already rare in the medicinal herb market.


    Master has a batch of them to deal with uninvited guests who trespass the Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s holy land. Of course, it¡¯s also used to deal with patients like you who don¡¯t listen to medical advice.¡±


    Mo Qian chuckled as he cried out for his innocence. His forehead was already covered in a cold sweat.


    Even if he experienced this kind of inhuman pain again, it would not be easy. ¡°Then I guess I won¡¯t have the luck to see this magical thing again! The saintess would love a patient as obedient as me!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart ached as she looked at Mo Qian¡¯s pale face. She removed a handkerchief and raised it to wipe Mo Qian¡¯s sweat. However, she retorted indifferently, ¡°The saintess doesn¡¯t like patients with smooth tongues like you the most! You can¡¯t keep holding it in like this. If you can¡¯t hold it in, shout it out. There are no outsiders here!¡±


    She meant that the people waiting outside the living room were all his loved ones. There was no need to hold back and not shout. However, when the words ¡®there are no outsiders here¡¯ fell into young Master Mo¡¯s ears, the meaning changed.


    Mo Qian¡¯s beautiful eyes glowed with a hint of gentleness. He said gently, ¡°You¡¯re right; there are no outsiders here! However, I¡¯m used to enduring pain. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be a little difficult if you want me to shout out suddenly.¡±


    She was still too close to Mo Qian while wiping his sweat. The thing scalded Zhuang Xian in Mo Qian¡¯s eyes, and her ears suddenly turned slightly red.


    She pretended to be calm and raised her eyebrows slightly, but when she opened her mouth, she asked softly, ¡°Why are you so used to it? No one was born not afraid of pain ¡­ Why have I never heard you mention this cousin of yours before? Isn¡¯t your father the only son of grandma Mo? Don¡¯t tell me that your father has other brothers?¡±


    The girl with delicate and beautiful eyes sat on the edge of the bed and asked Mo Qian these questions in a warm voice.


    The expression on her face and the gentleness in her tone did not seem to be noticed by her.


    Mo Qian took a whiff of the faint medicinal scent on Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands. The pain and spasms in his legs seemed to have eased a little.


    He looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, and after a long while, he explained in a hoarse voice, ¡°It¡¯s all old things from many years ago. To me, Mo Wei can not be considered a father. You don¡¯t have to be so respectful to him in the future. He¡¯s not worthy!


    As for what you want to know, Mo Ye and I are cousins. It¡¯s not a secret in T City. The Mo family¡¯s old-school forces did not settle in City H, so very few people here knew about these hidden past events. Mo Ye¡¯s father was the child of my grandfather and a mistress. He and Mo Wei are half-brothers, so Mo Ye is naturally my cousin.¡±


    Zhuang Xian quietly listened to Mo Qian¡¯s comments, but her hands did not stop moving. She began the second stage of acupuncture. Mo Qian seemed to have fallen into his memories, and his reaction to this kind of stimulation was not as strong as before.


    Even though Zhuang Xian was trying to distract Mo Qian by asking him these questions, her heart still trembled when she heard Mo Qian say that Mo Wei was not his father in such a calm and composed manner.


    She didn¡¯t know what Mo Qian had gone through in the past to have such despair towards his father, to the point of saying things like ¡®He¡¯s not worthy¡¯.


    She could not figure out why old Mrs. Mo and old Mr. Mo, already a legendary couple in the business circle of country Z, still had these secrets that no one knew about.


    Mo Wei, the leader of the Mo family¡¯s previous generation, was not the only descendant of the Mo family. He even had a ¡®Brother¡¯ from a different mother? This matter was somewhat absurd and also rather heart-wrenching!


    Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t imagine how much pain and helplessness the once arrogant Mrs. Mo, standing guard outside, must have felt when she learned about all these things.

 Chapter 444 - 444 Chapter 444. The Mo Familys Secret

    444 Chapter 444. The Mo Family¡¯s Secret


    And how did Mo Su bury all her pride and aloofness in a disloyal man like old Master Mo?


    Back then, in T City¡¯s business circle, the merchants were constantly discussing the marriage between Mo Suxia and the old Master of the Mo family.


    This incident could be regarded as a good story in the circle. However, the good times between the two in the business circle did not last long. Mo Gao was neither a loyal husband nor a qualified heir.


    It had been less than a year since he married Mo su, but he already had a mistress who came to provoke Mo Su with her child.


    What kind of person was Mo Su? Her pride and dignity had been trampled under Mo Gao¡¯s feet. Even though the Mo family had handled the matter well, there was no waterproof wall in this world. Mo Su still became the laughingstock of the entire T City business circle.


    Later on, she was forced to accept the child of this mistress. The condition she had discussed with Mo Gao was to get rid of the mother and keep the child! Mo Su¡¯s attitude was unyielding, so Mo Gao didn¡¯t dare to confront her directly. Therefore, both parties had taken a step back at that time.


    This was also why Mo Qian¡¯s father, Mo Wei, had a half-brother and a cousin!


    The Mo clan¡¯s fortune and business had always been smooth sailing. Their family¡¯s business was getting better and better, and their wealth was also accumulating more and more. Ultimately, their wealth had even reached the point where it could rival a country¡¯s!


    However, perhaps it was because the Mo family, prosperous in wealth, had always been poor in terms of offspring. Mo Gao and Mo su only had one son, Mo Wei.


    Mo Wei and Yao Hui only had one son, Mo Qian. Even after Yao Hui passed away from illness, Mo Wei left country Z and remarried another woman to start a family; he had no other children.


    Mo Qian had never taken the initiative to mention anything related to Mo Wei. However, he always felt that Mo Wei deserved it. This was the retribution that fate had given Mo Wei!


    The hidden details also involved the death of Mo Qian¡¯s mother.


    It was a long story, but it was just old things and the love and hatred between wealthy families. Mo Qian did not want Zhuang Xian to know about these things. He feared it would dirty her ears, so he only mentioned the most superficial and obvious things.


    He endured the pain from his lower limbs, and the expression on his face finally couldn¡¯t hold it any longer. He closed his eyes and asked softly, ¡°Do you still have the medicine packet you used last time? Can I have another one?¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard Mo Qian¡¯s plea, she slightly regained her senses. She looked at him from the corner of her eyes and explained gently, ¡°I¡¯ve been in the base all this time, so I didn¡¯t prepare much. How do you feel? Can you still hold on? If you can¡¯t, let¡¯s take a rest first! If you think you can¡¯t control yourself, we¡¯ll call Mo Xi in!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t call Mo Xi! If grandma saw this, she would have to think more! I can hold on as long as you¡¯re here with me. ¡±


    His request was too humble. Zhuang Xian smiled and took the handkerchief to wipe his sweat. She said gently, ¡°There are still a few more acupuncture points that haven¡¯t been sealed! If I don¡¯t stay by your side, where should I go? From now on, you should speak less and conserve your energy.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke slowly, she suddenly realized that her hand, which was still holding onto the handkerchief by the bedside, was rubbed by a warm and strong hand.


    Zhuang Xian subconsciously looked at Mo Qian¡¯s face, her eyes filled with surprise. She wanted to say something but was blocked by Mo Qian¡¯s gentle and stubborn gaze.


    Mo Qian did not avoid Zhuang Xian¡¯s suspicious gaze. He had planned this for a long time. He wanted to drag Zhuang Xian into his trap.


    He couldn¡¯t do anything too outrageous, but holding hands should still be fine.


    ¡°The saintess is kind. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll reject a weak but obedient patient like me, right?¡±


    From Mo Qian¡¯s beautiful eyes, Zhuang Xian seemed to have already read his words.


    Zhuang Xian broke into a smile and looked at Mo Qian helplessly. She felt that this person was a little childish but also a little cute. Zhuang Xian was so bright; how could she not understand Mo Qian¡¯s current intentions?

 Chapter 445 - 445 Chapter 445. Holding Hands

    445 Chapter 445. Holding Hands


    Mo Qian was taking advantage of the fact that his current situation was special and that it would not be suitable for her to reject him. That was why he was so bold and direct. He grabbed her hand and did not let go when he came up. This showed that he had nothing to fear.


    As Zhuang Xian thought about this, she raised her brows and looked into Mo Qian¡¯s eyes.


    The atmosphere in the room slowly turned ambiguous.


    Zhuang Xian thought for a moment, then said gently, ¡°If you keep holding on to me like this, how am I supposed to continue with the acupuncture? Don¡¯t tell me you want to be a Porcupine?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she glanced at Mo Qian¡¯s calf, which was already full of silver needles, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly teasingly.


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian only smiled and looked at Zhuang Xian without saying a word. It was as if he listened to Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Xian told him to shut up and conserve his energy, so he did not say anything.


    ¡°I just told you to talk less, not that I don¡¯t want you to talk. You¡¯re quite good at pretending to be good at this time!¡± Zhuang Xian seemed to be able to read Mo Qian¡¯s mind.


    Seeing that he couldn¡¯t avoid it anymore, Mo Qian chuckled and looked at Zhuang Xian, pretending to be pitiful as he replied, ¡°But I¡¯m in pain! I don¡¯t have any more medicine now, so I can only hold your hand first to stop the pain! The saintess is so powerful; she could probably perform acupuncture with one hand! I¡¯m feeling much better now. You can continue!¡±


    As Mo Qian spoke, he did not loosen his grip on Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. Instead, he tightened his grip.


    Zhuang Xian looked at him helplessly. After taking a deep breath, she did not ask Mo Qian to let go.


    She retracted her gaze from Mo Qian, and when her eyes returned to Mo Qian¡¯s lower limbs, which were already full of silver needles, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little heartache and amusement in her heart.


    Using her right hand, she picked up a silver needle that was even slimmer than the previous one. Her eyes were focused on the acupuncture point on Mo Qian¡¯s leg. The tip of the needle was aimed at the acupuncture point. Her right thumb, index finger, and middle finger gently and skillfully twisted the silver needle.


    As the silver needle pierced through the skin of Mo Qian¡¯s calf and slowly sank into his flesh, Zhuang Xian began to feel the sensation of the needle carefully. She only stopped when the silver needle touched the blocked acupuncture point in Mo Qian¡¯s leg.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Mo Qian and saw that his face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. She exhaled and said, ¡°You just said that you don¡¯t have the fortune to see the Saint Valley¡¯s rattlesnake bees. That¡¯s not quite right!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Mo Qian looked up at Zhuang Xian curiously. Even though he did not have the extra energy to talk to Zhuang Xian, the way he looked at her was still gentle and soft. It was as if he would always want to hear whatever Zhuang Xian said.


    Zhuang Xian knew that after she inserted the needle, Mo Qian no longer had the strength to speak, so she immediately explained, ¡°After today¡¯s acupuncture, you can rest for a day and start your recovery process according to the rehabilitation course I¡¯ve prepared for you. You can try to stand up slowly first, and don¡¯t be afraid of the pain. The various prescriptions and medicinal cuisines I¡¯ve been giving you recently are all to build the foundation for this day!


    These internal and external medicines restore and strengthen your meridians, blood, and flesh. Supplemented by silver needles, they are to unblock the Qi and blood in your acupuncture points. Every time I perform acupuncture on you, you should be able to feel a warm burning sensation on your skin, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s tone was gentle and soothing, but the movement of her right hand never stopped. She inserted all the needles in one go, then slowly turned to look at Mo Qian, a faint smile in her eyes.


    Mo Qian had been staring at Zhuang Xian the whole time. He smiled at her and nodded slightly to show that she was right.


    As she felt Mo Qian¡¯s grip on her hand tighten, Zhuang Xian sighed to herself and lowered her head slightly, ¡°It¡¯s good to have this feeling. It means that the meridians and blood Qi in your leg are slowly recovering. Although the process will be long and painful, you must know it¡¯s worth it! I¡¯ll make some adjustments to the time for the next acupuncture session. It shouldn¡¯t be as frequent as the previous two sessions. Some things can¡¯t be done quickly.¡±

 Chapter 446 - 446 Chapter 446. Bring Back to The Medicine Saint Valley

    446 Chapter 446. Bring Back to The Medicine Saint Valley


    ¡°After the fifth acupuncture, I want to take you back to Saint Valley Medicine. If I let the master see your condition, I will be more confident! Of course, this is not the only reason I¡¯m going. I want to ask my master for two rare herbs to follow up on treating your leg.¡±


    Zhuang Xian told Mo Qian a lot about her plans. Firstly, she wanted to inform Mo Qian of what she would do in the future, and she hoped that Mo Qian would have the time to cooperate with her. Secondly, she wanted to distract Mo Qian by chatting with him so that this difficult time would pass faster!


    Mo Qian naturally understood what Zhuang Xian meant. The pain from the acupuncture this time was not as intense as the first time.


    Mo Qian could have persevered with his own will. As he listened to Zhuang Xian¡¯s whispers in his ear, his slightly pale face was filled with gentleness and a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you. I¡¯ll do whatever you say.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and teased, ¡°Since you¡¯ve been so obedient, I won¡¯t ask the master to release the rattlesnake bees to prick you. I¡¯ll ask the master to give us half a catty of dried and baked rattlesnake bees to help you consolidate your vitality!¡±


    Mo Qian took a deep breath and grunted before he continued, ¡°So, one of the herbs you asked for from the valley master is the rattlesnake? What¡¯s the other one?¡±


    It was okay if Mo Qian did not mention it, but once he did, Zhuang Xian started to worry again.


    She looked at Mo Qian and said slowly, ¡°It¡¯s the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus! This thing is much more precious than the rattlesnake. I¡¯ve seen it once in the valley. I hope that when we go there this time, this treasure will still be in master¡¯s pharmacy. If master uses this one, it will be troublesome! What a headache!¡±


    ¡°Is this Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus so precious? Can¡¯t I buy it even if I spend a lot?¡± Mo Qian said softly. His hand holding Zhuang Xian¡¯s was already starting to sweat, but he refused to let go.


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian raised her right hand and took a handkerchief from her left hand. Then, she wiped the sweat off Mo Qian¡¯s face.


    She nodded and explained, ¡°If it can be solved with money, then it¡¯s not a big problem. I know you¡¯re rich, but this thing is priceless. It¡¯s already a great thing for an ordinary person to see it once in their lifetime.


    Even if you have money, you can¡¯t buy this! Unless you were fortunate and happened to meet a collector who urgently needed money and wanted to get rid of this rare medicinal herb! However, the probability of this happening is better than nothing, so I think it¡¯s better not to have any expectations!¡±


    At this point, Zhuang Xian still did not know that all the nonsense she had said later on had fallen on Mo Qian¡¯s head. Other than that, the Mo family was not blessed with good luck regarding having offspring; they were fortunate at different times!


    When Mo Qian saw that Zhuang Xian was so troubled by a medicinal herb because of his leg injury, other than being touched and happy, he also felt that Zhuang Xian was extremely cute. It was as if she was born with the ability to control him.


    It must be that the Saint Valley Medicine¡¯s s Lord was very fond of Zhuang Xian, which was why she was so ¡®fearless¡¯! To treat his injury, she had the idea of using her master¡¯s pharmacy! If this wasn¡¯t a little cutie, then what was it?


    Whether it was the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus or the rattlesnake bee, they were priceless in the outside world. Zhuang Xian had opened her tiny mouth and wanted to ask for half a catty from her master. Was this the typical ¡®lion¡¯s mouth¡¯?


    If Yan Zhou knew about this, he would be so angry that he would blow his beard and shout that a woman can¡¯t be kept at home.


    Mo Qian didn¡¯t know old Valley master Yan¡¯s character and couldn¡¯t guess these things. He could only associate it with Zhuang Xian¡¯s Master¡¯s 0favoritism for her!


    After all, their Zhuang Xian was so pretty and cute; who would reject her?

    447 Chapter 447. Angry? Jealous?


    After silence, he nodded and replied, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to prepare more gifts when I visit him.¡±


    Mo Qian took this matter to heart. He thought that after he returned, he would get Mo Xi to release this news as soon as possible and do his best to help Zhuang Xian solve some unnecessary problems. Just like Zhuang Xian had said herself, as long as it could be solved with money, it was not a difficult task.


    Just like that, Zhuang Xian accompanied Mo Qian the entire time. They chatted slowly, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Time passed by just like that.


    Just as the acupuncture was about to end, Mo Qian seemed to have remembered that he had not had the time to ask Zhuang Xian.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian, who was removing the needles for him, and his eyes showed a hint of concern and probing. ¡°When we were downstairs just now, it was your first time seeing Zhuang Bai, right? ¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she paused for a moment before continuing.


    ¡°When you saw Zhuang Bai, what did you think? Why did you cry? Should you have such a big emotional fluctuation if there wasn¡¯t any special reason? You¡¯re not that kind of person! So, can you tell me the reason? I¡¯m worried about you!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes had been fixed on Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile the entire time. He felt a little anxious when he saw that Zhuang Xian had put away all the silver needles and was still silent. However, he was too weak, and forcing himself to ask Zhuang Xian seemed tricky.


    He tiredly closed his eyes and thought briefly before saying, ¡°Is it related to your secrets again? You still can¡¯t tell me?¡±


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s tired and sweaty face, Zhuang Xian frowned and sighed. After a moment of silence, she hummed with mixed feelings. ¡°Since it¡¯s a secret, I can¡¯t let anyone know. I understand that you care about and worry about me, but I want you to understand that everything I¡¯m doing now is something I must do. If I don¡¯t do it, I won¡¯t be able to live in peace for the rest of my life.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she retracted her gaze and took a light breath before continuing, ¡°I misunderstood what happened between you and Mo Yep. I apologize to you. The proposal I mentioned before is long-term; you don¡¯t have to worry about it! Whatever I, Zhuang Xian, have said, I will keep my word!¡±


    Mo Qian¡¯s eyes were closed as he listened to these words. He felt both angry and amused. How did these words sound like something a 16-year-old girl would say? What did she mean by every word that she, Zhuang Xian, had said was true?


    Was she trying to do business with him? Or did she want to fight him?


    Mo Qian felt helpless and tired. He opened his eyes and looked at Zhuang Xian, ¡°I understand what you mean, but you never seem to know what I want. I want to understand you, to understand you! I like you, that¡¯s why I care about you, do you understand? I already don¡¯t know what I must do to gain your trust, make you believe in me wholeheartedly, and think that I¡¯m someone you can rely on on!


    I used to think I was a stubborn and closed-off person, but after meeting you, I realized I¡¯m not!¡± Mo Qian said as he slowly propped himself up.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian gently, but the light in his eyes had already dimmed, and there seemed to be a lot of disappointment.


    ¡°Zhuang Xian, you¡¯re the most stubborn and conservative person.¡±


    Hearing Mo Qian¡¯s evaluation of her, Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart trembled. She suddenly felt her heart flustered. She raised her eyes to look at Mo Qian and was burned by the greed and dominance in his eyes.


    Mo Qian could no longer control himself, which was why he appeared to be a little paranoid. He was worried that his behavior would scare Zhuang Xian, so after taking a few deep breaths, he said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Zhuang Xian, I lost my composure! I¡¯m a little tired tonight. If there¡¯s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. I¡¯ll get Mo Xi to take you back now.¡±


    As he spoke, he shouted at the door. When Mo Xi and Mo Ye came in, he lowered his eyes and said softly, ¡°Mo Xi, the streetlights in the military area won¡¯t be very bright at night. You should take Zhuang Xian back safely now.¡±

 Chapter 448 - 448 Chapter 448. Help

    448 Chapter 448. Help


    Mo Xi, who had just stood at the door, keenly noticed the subtle and tense atmosphere in the room. He looked at his young master with a bit of doubt, then nodded without hesitation and replied, ¡°Yes, young Master!¡±


    He then turned to Zhuang Xian, sitting on the edge of the bed, and said respectfully, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Miss Zhuang!¡±


    Mo Ye looked at the tired and silent Mo Qian, then at the silent Zhuang Xian, whose eyes were fixed on Mo Qian. She could not understand what was going on between the two of them.


    She asked gently, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Weren¡¯t you fine just now? It¡¯s only been a while, and you¡¯re already so unhappy?¡±


    As Mo Ye spoke, he looked at Zhuang Xian, thought for a while, and said, ¡°Xian ¡®er, what¡¯s going on? Did Mo Qian make you angry? You tell your cousin, and she¡¯ll help you vent your anger! How could Mo Qian be like this? You were kind enough to help him treat his leg, but he didn¡¯t cherish it. It¡¯s just ended, and you¡¯re already hurrying to send her off. How could you burn the bridge after crossing it?¡±


    Mo Ye, defending Zhuang Xian, said these words but kept giving Mo Qian a look. However, Mo Qian acted as if he was blind and pretended not to see anything. He coughed lightly and leaned back on the bed.


    Zhuang Xian slowly retracted her gaze as she watched Mo Qian close his eyes tiredly and ignore whatever Mo Ye said.


    She stood up and took the medicine box. She nodded at Mo Ye and walked out.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression did not look good. After grandma Mo sized her up, she said affectionately, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, good child. Go back and rest! When you¡¯re done with your military training, come home for dinner. I¡¯ll make you a bowl of nourishing soup so that you can nourish your body! Thank you for taking good care of Mo Qian.¡±


    As Mo Su spoke, she smiled and looked into Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. She raised her hand and gestured for the servant beside her to send Zhuang Xian out.


    Zhuang Xian bowed respectfully to matriarch Mo and left without saying anything. Mo Xi and an elderly servant of the matriarch followed behind.


    As she watched Zhuang Xian walk out silently, old Madam Mo sighed slightly and entered the inner room.


    Mo Qian was leaning against the head of the bed. Hearing his grandmother¡¯s footsteps, he opened his eyes again. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he asked softly, ¡°She¡¯s gone, right?¡±


    Mo Su nodded her head. She did not care that Mo Ye was still there. She turned to Mo Qian and said, ¡°I asked Aunt Feng to send her back. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Mo Qian in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s going on between the two of you? I can tell from Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression that something is wrong. Did your words make her angry?¡±


    Mo Qian was a little helpless when he heard this. A bitter smile appeared on his pale face. ¡°Why are you all saying that I¡¯m in the wrong and that I¡¯ve made Zhuang Xian angry? Can¡¯t it be Zhuang Xian¡¯s fault? If you say so, cousin also feels the same!¡±


    Mo Qian glanced at Mo Ye as he spoke, his tone full of helplessness and bitterness.


    He only felt that he did not have much energy left. Thinking about his relationship with Zhuang Xian, his entire mood is gloomy. Naturally, he was not in the mood to explain anything to old Madam Mo and Mo Ye.


    He raised his hand to signal for the assistant to come over. ¡°Let me go to the bathroom to change my clothes; then we¡¯ll leave. Grandma, you¡¯ve had a long day. Let¡¯s go home early.¡±


    Mo Su saw Mo Qian¡¯s expression of refusal to have a deep conversation and fell silent. She even reached out to pull Mo Ye, who wanted to continue to talk to Mo Qian. After Mo Qian finished speaking, he asked his assistant to push him into the bathroom.


    ¡°Alright! This is a matter between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian. We don¡¯t know much, so talking less about it is better. ¡± Mo Su said as she let go of Mo Ye¡¯s arm. Her sharp eyes had already darkened slightly.


    She thought about what she had asked Mo Xi about Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian when they were standing guard at the door, and she slowly began to have a plan.

 Chapter 449 - 449 Chapter 449. Cold War?

    449 Chapter 449. Cold War?


    From Mo Xi¡¯s words, Mo Su also found out some details. Her Mo Qian did like Zhuang Xian a lot, but she had no choice but to treat him indifferently. It was as if she didn¡¯t care much about him.


    If an ordinary person encountered such a situation, they would probably be rushing to cling to Mo Qian. A man like Mo Qian, who was rich, powerful, and handsome, was the dream boyfriend of many girls!


    If they were to discover that a merely adopted daughter of the Zhuang family dared to cling to Mo Qian, they would probably spit on her and drown her to death!


    These were all things that Mo Xi had understood from her words. Naturally, she knew this was Mo Xi¡¯s sincerity and protection of Mo Qian. She also understood that Mo Xi¡¯s subjective opinion was present in what he said. Mo Xi was completely standing on Mo Qian¡¯s side of things, so his attitude towards Zhuang Xian was unfair!


    Therefore, what Mo Xi said about being neither cold nor hot was up to Mo Su¡¯s verification. She did discover something very different.


    According to Mo Xi, when Zhuang Xian first applied acupuncture to Mo Qian, Mo Qian¡¯s reaction was extreme. He was almost driven crazy by the intense pain, and it was only by Zhuang Xian and Mo Xi that Mo Qian was under control.


    But this time, she, Mo Ye, and Mo Xi had been standing guard outside the door the entire time, but they did not hear Mo Qian¡¯s cry of pain. Even after the acupuncture, Zhuang Xian did not ask for help. Only Zhuang Xian accompanied Mo Qian in the room from the beginning to the end.


    Old Madam Mo¡¯s sharp mind told her that some other factors must be affecting Mo Qian behind this phenomenon. Otherwise, how could Mo Qian withstand such torture? And what role did Zhuang Xian play in this?


    Mo Su didn¡¯t understand the treatment, but she could understand the emotional ties of human beings. Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t have any feelings for Mo Qian! Zhuang Xian liked Mo Qian!


    After concluding, old Madam Mo was neither excited nor anxious. This was because the conflict between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian was the most urgent thing to resolve.


    That was why old Madam Mo had asked the old woman beside her, who had been around for many years, to test Zhuang Xian¡¯s words.


    When Zhuang Xian walked out of the dormitory with her first aid kit, she was slightly confused. She felt that she could not understand Mo Qian.


    As Mo Qian had said, she did not know what Mo Qian wanted from her.


    Was It Love? Zhuang Xian asked herself.


    But didn¡¯t I already promise Mo Qian? There was a two-year agreement between them, and she would not go back on her word. What dissatisfaction could Mo Qian still have? Was it because she had not explained why she was crying to him?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was filled with many questions, confusion, and frustration!


    After seeing Zhuang Bai, she had no way of explaining her emotional breakdown and loss of self-control. She didn¡¯t want to lie to Mo Qian but couldn¡¯t tell him everything. That was why she was so conflicted and couldn¡¯t back down!


    How would she explain to Mo Qian that she was not the Zhuang Xian of this world but a ghost that had been reborn and was filled with blood and hatred?


    The reason why she had to go through this was to appease the regrets of her previous life. She wanted evil to be rewarded and good to live a healthy and happy life. That was all!


    Zhuang Xian felt that she did not belong to herself alone before all these things were completed. She had to give up her life for the Zhuang family.


    Therefore, she was a little timid in the face of Mo Qian¡¯s favoritism and pursuit.


    Mo Qian¡¯s love confession was like a layer of honey on the blade. She knew it was sweet, but she couldn¡¯t ignore the danger and murderous intent hidden under the love and the unfinished business on her.


    When faced with a relationship that was about to begin, Zhuang Xian would lack some courage. That kind of courage should be like what Lin Feng had displayed this afternoon when he confessed to her. It was passionate and fearless, not caring about the consequences and long-term, only seeking to be free and easy at the moment!


    On the other hand, Zhuang Xian seemed to have long lost the ability to love. This simple yet intense courage was also what she lacked.

 Chapter 450 - 450 Chapter 450. Sending Zhuang Xian

    450 Chapter 450. Sending Zhuang Xian


    Unconsciously, Zhuang Xian seemed to have thought of a lot of things. However, when she returned to her senses, she realized that she had not thought of anything. Only Mo Qian¡¯s disappointed and exhausted gaze kept repeating in her mind.


    Mo Xi reached out to take the first aid kit from Zhuang Xian¡¯s shoulder, but he was rejected.


    She shook her head and said, ¡°This place is near our dormitory. I can walk back on my own. Mo Qian has just finished his acupuncture and is still frail. You should go back and take care of him!¡±


    As she spoke, she suddenly took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Mo Xi. ¡°I almost forgot to give you this medicinal cuisine recipe. I redid it yesterday. When you return, change the one before and use this!¡±


    Mo Xi glanced at Zhuang Xian and took the prescription. He suddenly felt that how the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter looked at him was a little probing and threatening.


    ¡°I hope that this time, the two of you won¡¯t work together to fool me again!¡± Zhuang Xian retracted her hand and looked at Mo Xi indifferently. ¡°You can¡¯t fool me! If Mo Qian didn¡¯t eat his medicinal cuisine properly, he would only be deceiving himself. You can convey my words to him word for word.¡±


    After Zhuang Xian finished speaking, she left immediately, not caring about Mo Xi¡¯s surprised and guilty expression.


    Just now, Mo Qian thought that he could hide it from Zhuang Xian, but in reality, Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want to expose him!


    How could a doctor not tell that his patient did not take his medicine on time?


    The medicine that Zhuang Xian had prepared for Mo Qian for internal and external use complemented each other. Zhuang Xian could quickly tell if there was a missing link.


    Mo Xi gulped guiltily when he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. He watched Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as she left and quickly followed her. However, Zhuang Xian stopped him without even looking back. ¡°I don¡¯t want to repeat myself. You can go back!¡±


    Mo Xi¡¯s footsteps suddenly stopped, and he stood in a daze.


    Although the tone of Zhuang Xian¡¯s words was not an order, it was more convincing than a direct order. Mo Xi suddenly recalled the last time at the Soul Devouring Bureau¡¯s auction, the Zhuang Xian, who was wearing a red dress and killing everyone in the venue.


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian had a very intimidating aura around her. Mo Xi did not dare to object to Zhuang Xian¡¯s decision. Fortunately, Aunty Feng was standing beside Mo Xi. She looked up at Mo Xi with a smile in her eyes.


    Mo Xi was comforted by Aunt Feng¡¯s smile. He thought he should advise the young master to stop quarreling with the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter. He watched as Aunt Feng chased after Zhuang Xian and sighed helplessly.


    The Zhuang family¡¯s fourth young mistress was already cold to him, let alone in such a situation.


    Their young master had offended the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter so severely that even Zhuang Xian was not as polite to him as before. Instead, she seemed to hate and reject them even more!


    Mo Xi, who had been ignored, was left alone in the same place. He looked at Aunt Feng, who had caught up with Zhuang Xian and slightly sighed.


    Naturally, Zhuang Xian knew a ¡®little tail¡¯ was following behind her. However, after some thought, she decided not to chase this Aunty away for the sake of old Madam Mo. A wise person like old Madam Mo would not do such meaningless things.


    After leaving Mo Xi, this so-called Aunt Feng said gently, ¡°Mo Xi was here just now, so it wasn¡¯t easy for us to talk. The old Madam asked me to send you off, Miss. Zhuang. She wanted to show you some concern.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Xian turned to look at Aunt Feng. Does Grandma Mo have something to ask me?¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was indeed bright, Aunt Feng chuckled and nodded. ¡°Yes, Miss. Zhuang! Seeing that you¡¯re also an honest person who babbles, I won¡¯t beat around the bush with you. The old Madam asked me to come over because she has two things to ask you.


    Young Master Mo Qian¡¯s feelings for you, Miss, you should understand, right? The old lady likes you very much and doesn¡¯t want to treat you as an outsider. I¡¯ve watched young Master Mo Qian grow up since childhood and see him as my grandson.¡±

 Chapter 451 - 451 Chapter 451. Mo Sus Intention

    451 Chapter 451. Mo Su¡¯s Intention


    ¡°Don¡¯t think that he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth. He has suffered and suffered no less than the average person. He might even have to put in more effort! When the young Master was very young, Madam passed away from illness. The old Master did not care much for young Master Mo Qian, so teaching the heir fell on the old Madam. It can be said that young Master Mo Qian is the old Madam¡¯s heart and soul!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian listened to Aunt Feng¡¯s words, she slowly stopped. She looked at Aunt Feng as if she could guess old Madam Mo¡¯s intention.


    But she couldn¡¯t believe it. She frowned and looked at Aunt Feng in surprise. ¡°You don¡¯t have to call me Miss. You can call me by my name.¡±


    Aunt Feng looked at Zhuang Xian and smiled gently. Her eyes were filled with adoration. She thought to herself, ¡®Zhuang Xian is a good-looking child. She¡¯s also smart and sensible. Most importantly, she¡¯s competent.¡¯


    She smiled and continued, ¡°Sure! I¡¯ll continue! The Mo family¡¯s business is huge, all on young Master Mo Qian¡¯s shoulders. The old Madam¡¯s heart aches for the young Master, and she had always hoped he could marry soon. However, young Master Mo Qian has always been clean and has no one by his side.¡±


    Zhuang Xian. I¡¯ve been in the Mo family for decades, but I¡¯ve never seen young Master treat anyone as well as he does to you, Miss. Old Madam and I see that young Master likes you!¡±


    Aunt Feng looked at Zhuang Xian kindly and gently, her eyes full of anticipation. ¡°Young Master Mo Qian¡¯s relationship with the old Master is not good, and their personalities are opposites. The young Master is very rational and intelligent, so this proves that you are very dear to him! The old Madam always says that young Master Mo Qian is the only person in the Mo family who values relationships and loyalty! Due to the destructive relationship between Mo Wei and his wife in the early years, young Master Mo Qian had always been cold and repulsed towards marriage and love.


    Old Madam¡¯s meaning is that if you are also interested in young Master Mo Qian, she can decide to find the nearest auspicious day and personally visit your family to propose marriage! Of course, the old Madam also considered that you¡¯re still young, so she wanted to get you two engaged first and hold the wedding a few years later!¡±


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s stunned expression, Aunt Feng laughed and looked at her gently as she continued, ¡°We know this is no small matter. The old Madam asked me to come over tonight, Miss Zhuang Xian, for your opinion. If you agree, then we¡¯ll visit you. If you still have any concerns, we can discuss them again. The old Madam meant that she wanted Miss Zhuang Xian to understand her sincerity! She sincerely hopes you and young Master will have a good start and end up together!


    I¡¯ve already said what I wanted to say. Miss Zhuang Xian, what do you think? ¡±


    After hearing so much from Aunt Feng, Zhuang Xian¡¯s brows furrowed even deeper. After hearing Aunt Feng¡¯s last question, Zhuang Xian was slightly surprised.


    She looked at Aunt Feng, thought for a while, and then looked away. She had guessed some of old Madam Mo¡¯s thoughts but didn¡¯t dare to feel that way!


    Mo Su¡¯s fierce straight ball had stunned even someone as smart as Zhuang Xian!


    What kind of grandmother did Mo Qian have? If Mo Qian were a girl, he would have already been forced to marry a few hundred times.


    If she remembered correctly, today was her first time meeting Grandma Mo. How did this come to the point of discussing marriage? Or was it because he was too slow and couldn¡¯t catch up with grandma Mo?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s imagination ran wild, and she slowly sank into a deep state of self-doubt.


    Mo Qian was still angry with Zhuang Xian just a moment ago. He was pulling a long face, and the ¡®Cold War¡¯ between the two of them had not even officially started. However, Mo Qian¡¯s grandmother had already ¡®sold him out¡¯!


    Zhuang Xian slowly came back to her senses. As she thought about all these messy things, she didn¡¯t know whether she should laugh or feel helpless!


    It seemed that the two of them didn¡¯t think of going together, which caused the scene to be a little fragmented and funny!

 Chapter 452 - 452 Chapter 452. Engaged?

    452 Chapter 452. Engaged?


    After midnight, it was lights out at the Blue Eagle Base. Therefore, only the streetlights were still on during the long night.


    Under the dim light, Aunty Feng tried to see Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression. She wanted to know what Zhuang Xian was thinking!


    After all, their matriarch had already been so sincere and low-key in her attitude. If Zhuang Xian continued to reject her, she would seem unable to appreciate her kindness.


    Aunt Feng had already made things very clear in front of Zhuang Xian. She did like Zhuang Xian, this beautiful child, but at the same time, she also liked a well-behaved and sensible child more.


    However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart was filled with too many gullies. If Mo Qian could not do it, Mo Su would not be able to! She was not someone that anyone could try to hold or control.


    Zhuang Xian already had a lot of plans in her heart. She looked at Aunt Feng gently, but her eyes were steadfast.


    She said thoughtfully and politely, ¡°I¡¯m grateful that grandma Mo thinks highly of me and likes me. I¡¯m thrilled. However, her sudden action stunned me! I also understand what you¡¯ve said. No matter what my relationship with Mo Qian is now, it¡¯s still just my relationship with Mo Qian!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Feng and smiled. A light breeze brushed past her hair and gently caressed her face. ¡°I¡¯m guessing that when grandma Mo mentioned this suggestion to Mo Qian yesterday, Mo Qian rejected her, right? It¡¯s getting late, so I¡¯ll cut to the chase. I have a good impression of Mo Qian, but so far, it¡¯s only a good impression.


    Emotional matters are between Mo Qian and me. Before we, the parties involved, express our stance or speak, the elders shouldn¡¯t interfere! I don¡¯t want to get engaged to Mo Qian immediately. I believe Mo Qian understands my thoughts. Do you know what I mean?¡±


    However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were sincere and straightforward as she looked at Aunt Feng, neither servile nor overbearing, nor did she give in!


    She knew a servant like Aunt Feng, raised in an aristocratic family, would speak and do things dignifiedly.


    Zhuang Xian did not dare to say that Aunt Feng¡¯s words were all lies, but at the very least, there were some overstatements. Her intentions were not pure, and her intentions were not open enough.


    Aunt Feng had said so much to Zhuang Xian to play the emotional card.


    If Zhuang Xian was just a little less experienced, not as determined, or if she liked Mo Qian just a little more, she would probably have been moved by Aunty Feng¡¯s words by now. She would not care about anything else and would not wait to marry Mo Qian.


    However, their current behavior was the most inappropriate.


    How could the marriage between two great families not be informed of the bride¡¯s family? What kind of rules did she follow to talk to the girl privately?


    If there were any future disputes between the two sides, would the words they had spoken in private today still count?


    Aunt Feng said she was passing on a message for Mo Su, but she was just a servant. Whether her words could represent Mo Su or not, there was a lot of room for discussion.


    Mo Su had overdone it. Her seemingly humble and sincere attitude carried a hint of arrogance and superiority.


    She had forgotten that in this kind of marriage, she had to consider Zhuang Xian¡¯s personal feelings. There was also some simple etiquette that could not be omitted!


    The most crucial thing in this was respect and attention.


    Zhuang Xian had her thoughts and ideas; not everyone could control her. So what if Mo Su used her identity to suppress her? Zhuang Xian still did not care!


    Zhuang Xian admitted that she was not close to this old Madam Mo. Even though they had just exchanged a few words, she could not tell what she was thinking. She had always been on her guard, and it was normal for her to think of others in the worst possible way.

 Chapter 453 - 453 Chapter 453. Unintentionally Offended

    453 Chapter 453. Unintentionally Offended


    Mo Su thought she was being frank and forthright, but she had never considered it carefully. If she acted rashly, she might end up doing the opposite! Mo Qian had not taken the initiative to talk to her about this matter. He had even stopped her when she had such thoughts. He was hinting that the time was not right yet.


    That was indeed the case. Aunt Feng looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression and realized she had misunderstood her. She quickly tried to explain, but before she could speak, Zhuang Xian interrupted her.


    ¡°It seems that you understand what I mean. That¡¯s great! I may not have spoken nicely, but I meant every word I said. Mo Qian knows my attitude and thoughts the best. If there is anything inappropriate, please, grandma Mo should forgive me. In the future, if grandma Mo has any questions, she can ask Mo Qian first. Since things have come to this, you don¡¯t have to send me off anymore; hurry back! I¡¯ll go back first!¡±


    After Zhuang Xian finished speaking, she smiled slightly, glanced at Aunt Feng, nodded, and left.


    Aunt Feng was taken aback by the sarcasm in Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. Seeing that Zhuang Xian was about to leave, she hurriedly said, ¡°Miss Zhuang Xian, you¡¯ve misunderstood the old Madam. She doesn¡¯t mean what you think! Can you listen to my explanation?¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not stop walking. After hearing Aunty Feng¡¯s anxious explanation, she replied without turning her head, ¡°Perhaps I¡¯m overthinking it. You don¡¯t have to explain anything; I don¡¯t want to hear it now. That¡¯s not important. Don¡¯t disturb my teammates ¡®Sweet dreams in the middle of the night.¡±


    When Aunt Feng saw the rejection on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face, the words she wanted to explain were stuck in her throat, and she felt a little uncomfortable.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s steps were firm and calm as if she did not care if her words would offend old Madam Mo and Aunt Feng.


    Li Qin was sitting in the dormitory. When he saw that it was getting late and the lights in the building had been turned off, he took his coat and went downstairs to wait for Zhuang Xian!


    As soon as he came downstairs, he saw his sister Xian being pestered by an old woman. He immediately said, ¡°Sister Xian, you¡¯re back! What took you so long? I was worried that you might be afraid of the dark at night, so I came down to wait for you!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at Aunt Feng, following behind Zhuang Xian, and asked softly, ¡°Who is she? Why does she keep bothering you?¡±


    Li Qin had met Aunt Feng before, but seeing a lousy atmosphere, Li Qin tactfully pretended not to know her.


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she did not immediately reply to Li Qin¡¯s words. Instead, she silently passed the first aid kit on her shoulder to him and walked back to the dormitory building, leaving behind an anxious and regretful Aunt Feng.


    Li Qin sized up Aunt Feng before catching up with Zhuang Xian.


    As she watched Zhuang Xian and Li Qin leave, Aunt Feng knew that she had screwed up this time and could not help but feel a little anxious!


    The old lady had told her to test Zhuang Xian¡¯s intentions, but she had to be careful with her attitude and ask about Zhuang Xian¡¯s intentions slowly. She could not cause any unnecessary misunderstandings!


    However, Mo Su didn¡¯t know that her words had come true. What she was afraid of really happened.


    This matter could only be blamed on Aunt Feng for taking it for granted. She was used to how the family did things and felt that in this world, there was no one their young master was not worthy of, let alone just an adopted daughter of the Zhuang family!


    Auntie Feng had to admit that Zhuang Xian was a good girl. She was pretty, polite, and had unique cooking skills. She would never starve to death anywhere.


    However, no matter how powerful she, Zhuang Xian, was, her status and background were clear for all to see. She was just an adopted daughter; how could she compare to a real lady from an aristocratic family?


    Even though the old Madam was full of praise for Zhuang Xian and was eager to help Mo Qian settle into this marriage, Aunt Feng felt they were incompatible regarding social status. However, she could not disobey her master¡¯s wishes.


    She thought that since she couldn¡¯t change the minds of the Masters, she might as well make things clear to Zhuang Xian. After all, with the Mo family¡¯s background and wealth, who could reject them?


    Zhuang Xian was good, but how could she reject a noble like Mo Qian?

 Chapter 454 - 454 Chapter 454. Making His Own Decisions

    454 Chapter 454. Making His Own Decisions


    Therefore, Aunty Feng felt that if she extended an olive branch to Zhuang Xian first, she would only be grateful to her and would be eager to accept the ¡®honor.¡¯


    After all, in her worldview, the Mo family was so high that they were out of reach. Many young ladies from other aristocratic families liked their young master, but it was the young master who didn¡¯t like them!


    She felt that it was Zhuang Xian¡¯s good fortune that Mo Qian liked her!


    She wanted to do the matriarch¡¯s task more efficiently and flawlessly, so she chose a straight ball but didn¡¯t expect it to backfire.


    It didn¡¯t matter if she had offended Zhuang Xian, but it would be terrible if Zhuang Xian misunderstood the old Madam¡¯s intentions!


    At this moment, Aunt Feng felt like ants were gnawing at her heart. It was numb and painful. She turned around and left with heavy steps. Her mind was still thinking about how to reply to the old Madam later so she would not be angry.


    It seemed that she had underestimated Zhuang Xian. She never thought that the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family would be so bright and have such an upright and ambitious character. She was different from women eager to cling to their young master!


    It was no wonder that the young master liked her so much. She was indeed a person with a strong personality.


    Even though Zhuang Xian had ruthlessly rebuked Aunt Feng, she still had a high opinion of her. She was not an idiot. After making a mistake once, there would not be a next time!


    Blue Eagle Base, student dormitory.


    Zhuang Xian returned to her bed at the dormitory, feeling a little tired.


    The lights in the dormitory had already been turned off. Li Qin saw that Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was not quite right. He wanted to ask something, but Zhuang Xian stopped him in advance.


    ¡°Let¡¯s rest first! We¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow. Zhang Yang is already asleep, don¡¯t wake him up!¡± Zhuang Xian took off her shoes as she spoke and walked into the bathroom with light footsteps.


    Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back and swallowed the words he wanted to say. He turned around and returned to the bed. He looked at the bed a few steps away and saw Ye Xin still turning her body slightly as if she had not fallen asleep at all.


    Lin Feng, sleeping on the lower bunk of Zhang Yang¡¯s bed, was breathing heavily at times and softly at others. He was not asleep!


    His sister Xian was still his sister Xian. She was so strong! Just listening, she could instantly tell who was sleeping and who was faking it.


    As Li Qin thought about this, he also realized that talking about what had just happened in the dormitory wasn¡¯t appropriate. Hence, he calmed his mind and thought he would find an opportunity to ask again during the military training tomorrow.


    In any case, Ye Xin would be transferred to another class after tonight, and he wouldn¡¯t see her again.


    Hence, Li Qin covered himself with the blanket without any burden and slept comfortably. He became the second person to fall into a deep sleep in the dormitory!


    As Ye Xin listened to the commotion in the bathroom, she didn¡¯t dare to take a deep breath for a long time. She was afraid that Zhuang Xian would find out she wasn¡¯t asleep.


    Ye Xin wasn¡¯t pleased with Lei Cheng¡¯s arrangement for the day. Since he had promised to change her team, he should have also changed her dormitory. Even if she had to sleep alone in an empty dormitory, it would be better than this.


    The awkward atmosphere of being in the same room with Li Qin, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yang made Ye Xin choke on her words.


    The three weren¡¯t the type of people who would take the initiative to cause trouble. They could completely ignore her as long as Ye Xin didn¡¯t seek death!


    In reality, Ye Xin should be glad that Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t in the dormitory during the night. Otherwise, she probably wouldn¡¯t have had it easy.


    When Zhuang Xian returned from her acupuncture session, she was already exhausted! It was not just about the treatment. After a day of high-intensity training and so many things that had happened, Zhuang Xian¡¯s energy and energy for today¡¯s exercise were utterly exhausted!


    Her physical exhaustion was not that bad. The most tiring thing for Zhuang Xian was seeing Zhuang Bai lose control today, her parting with Mo Qian on bad terms again, and the ridiculous suggestion from Aunt Feng and old Madam Mo.


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t care what Aunt Feng or grandmother Mo thought of her. All she could think about right now was Mo Qian¡¯s stinky face!


    This seemed to be the first time Mo Qian was angry with her, right? Mo Qian couldn¡¯t be thinking of having a cold war with her, right?

 Chapter 455 - 455 Chapter 455. Not Too Fair

    455 Chapter 455. Not Too Fair


    I don¡¯t know how to coax people! Was Mo Qian going to ignore her? Zhuang Xian frowned and thought worriedly.


    While controlling his disappointment, he didn¡¯t forget to instruct Mo Xi to send her back carefully. It was awkward and cute! But no matter how angry and sullen he was, he would still first apologize to her.


    Zhuang Xian looked at herself in the mirror in the bathroom, her mind constantly thinking about these things.


    But she just had no choice. She completely threw Mo Qian to the back of her mind, as if she had been poisoned by a poison named Mo Qian. She held the water and gently patted her face, trying to use this to wake herself up. However, the effect was minimal, or rather, it was completely ineffective!


    When Mo Qian apologized, a strange feeling appeared in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart. She began to reflect on herself.


    Perhaps she had been too harsh on Mo Qian? Today, Mo Qian told her a lot about his family. It did seem a little unfair compared to her not saying a word and vowing to hide the truth to the end! It was a little unjust to Mo Qian, who had shown a lot of sincerity.


    As she thought about it, Zhuang Xian finally understood why Mo Qian had lost control of himself tonight. Perhaps he wasn¡¯t, but he was disappointed and helpless!


    Zhuang Xian stood alone in the bathroom and thought for a long time. But in the end, she could not think of any good solution. She could only take it one step at a time.


    By the time she left the bathroom, Li Qin had fallen asleep. However, there were still people in the dormitory who could not sleep.


    Zhuang Xian returned to her bed and glanced at Ye Xin from the corner of her eye. A dark light slowly flashed across her heart.


    Even though she didn¡¯t know why Ye Xin was involved with Zhuang Jie¡¯s matter, if she thought about it from another perspective, wasn¡¯t this a scheme that would kill two birds with one stone? She had destroyed not only Zhuang Jie but also implicated Ye Xin!


    Ling Feng was a very smart, upright, and stubborn person. It was quite a feat for Ye Xin to make him hate her to this extent!


    Zhuang Xian was lying on the bed when she suddenly noticed Lin Feng still rolling around.


    Lin Feng had already lost count of the times he had tossed and turned on the bed that night. He looked very annoyed, but his movements were all light, as if he feared being discovered. He looked like he was baking a giant pancake, tossing and turning on the bed.


    Zhuang Xian let out a soft breath and pretended not to know anything. She closed her eyes and began to rest.


    At the same time, Mo Qian and the rest had already boarded the car and were waiting for Aunty Feng to return from sending Zhuang Xian back.


    Aunt Feng looked at the two luxury cars of the Mo family a few steps away and paused for a moment. She thought that since there was no turning back, she might as well have a quick and satisfying time! She gritted her teeth and quickly walked up.


    As she walked to Mo Su¡¯s side, Aunt Feng lowered her head and looked at old Madam Mo with some guilt.


    She didn¡¯t say much, but after more than ten years of tacit understanding, Mo Su already felt a little uneasy.


    Mo Su looked away from her and turned to look into the car. She said in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s talk in the car!¡±


    Aunt Feng did as she was told. After pursing her lips, she went around to the other side of the car and got in.


    The driver started the car nimbly, following Mo Qian¡¯s specially modified car.


    Because Mo Qian was in a bad mood, Mo Ye did not rush to provoke him, so she sat in the same car as grandma Mo.


    Sitting in the front passenger seat, she glanced at the strange silence between her grandmother and Aunt Feng in the rearview mirror and asked carefully, ¡°What is this? Why do you all look so unhappy? Grandma Feng, did you send Zhuang Xian back safely?¡±


    Aunty Feng nodded and replied softly, ¡°Miss, I¡¯ve sent Miss Zhuang Xian back. I saw her walk into the dormitory building with my own eyes.¡±


    Mo Ye nodded. She looked at Aunt Feng¡¯s strange expression and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Zhuang Xian dissed you?¡±

 Chapter 456 - 456 Chapter 456. Dumbfound

    456 Chapter 456. Dumbfound


    Mo Ye¡¯s last sentence was a test, but when she saw Aunt Feng¡¯s twitching mouth, she understood that she had guessed correctly!


    She was about to ask for more details, but she was interrupted by grandma Mo.


    Mo Su didn¡¯t care what Aunt Feng reported to Mo Ye. Instead, she said, ¡°Tell me, what happened?¡±


    Aunt Feng¡¯s hands clenched tightly together, silently expressing her nervousness. She took a few deep breaths and respectfully said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, old Madam. I seem to have messed things up!¡±


    Mo Ye was stunned when she heard that. She turned around and looked at Aunt Feng and grandma Mo in confusion.


    Mo Su¡¯s reaction was much calmer than Mo Ye¡¯s excitement and confusion. She had guessed the outcome of the incident, but she was very interested in the process.


    She was a little curious. Why would the always mature and steady Aunt Feng ¡®mess up¡¯ this matter? was this a tricky thing? It didn¡¯t seem that difficult, right?


    When aunt Feng saw the old Madam¡¯s silence, she dared no longer delay. She immediately repeated what had happened to Mo Su in detail.


    She had initially thought that she would have to embellish her words to reduce old Madam¡¯s anger, but looking at old Madam¡¯s expression, she did not dare to hide anything.


    Even though Mo Su had abdicated her position as the head of the Mo family for many years, the aura of a superior on her body could not be ignored and fooled.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, old Madam. I know that I made my own decision this time! I shouldn¡¯t have been so unruly. It¡¯s only right for Miss Zhuang Xian to scold me. It¡¯s my fault for not being clear-headed! Such a thing shouldn¡¯t have been said so casually, and it was only right for Miss Zhuang Xian to be angry! I¡¯m sorry, old Madam. Please punish me!¡±


    As Aunt Feng spoke, she slowly lowered her head. She had been thinking about this matter when she was walking back from the student dormitory. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had thought too simply of this matter.


    A marriage engagement between the two families was not something a servant like her could decide. Zhuang Xian was right to mock her.


    However, what made Aunt Feng most upset was not these things, but her words and actions, which made Zhuang Xian mistakenly think that these were the old Madam¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°Idiot!¡±


    Hearing her grandmother¡¯s scolding and anger, Mo Ye couldn¡¯t help but tremble, let alone Aunt Feng, who was already nervous and guilty.


    If it weren¡¯t for the lack of space in the car, Mo Ye would have thought that Aunt Feng would be so scared that she would kneel at his grandmother¡¯s feet.


    ¡°Yes! I was stupid and did something wrong! I wanted to help old Madam and the young Master settle this matter immediately. I didn¡¯t expect that there would be so many implications behind this! I¡¯ve let down old Madam¡¯s trust; please punish me directly!¡± As aunt Feng spoke, she looked at Mo Su with her eyes wet.


    She was remorseful and thought that if the old Madam could punish her, it would be good to vent her anger!


    Mo Su looked at Aunt Feng¡¯s remorseful and guilty expression. Thinking of all the years of being together and accompanying her, she still couldn¡¯t bear to do it.


    She sighed slightly and looked away. ¡°Did she say that? She doesn¡¯t have any intention of getting engaged to Mo Qian?¡±


    Aunt Feng saw the old Madam¡¯s calm expression and did not dare to delay. ¡°Yes, old Madam! What I said just now was Miss Zhuang Xian¡¯s original words! This is a serious matter; I don¡¯t dare to hide it from you!¡±


    Old Madam Mo frowned slowly when she heard this. She thought momentarily and asked, ¡°Did you find anything else? For example, did she ever mention her true feelings for Mo Qian? Does she like him or not? I keep feeling that the way Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian interact with each other is a little weird. It¡¯s as if there¡¯s something that I don¡¯t know about. I¡¯m so confused.¡±


    ¡°Regarding the question you¡¯re asking, I can see some clues from Miss Zhuang Xian!¡±

 Chapter 457 - 457 Chapter 457. Dont Think Too Complicated

    457 Chapter 457. Don¡¯t Think Too Complicated


    ¡°I can¡¯t say for sure about other things, but I¡¯m sure Zhuang Xian likes our young Master, or maybe she has an excellent impression of him!¡±


    Aunt Feng quickly opened her mouth and saw the old Madam¡¯s eyes looking at her again. She gulped and continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t she repeatedly emphasize that this matter was between her and the young Master? She even said that before everything settled down, it was best for the elders in the family not to interfere! This indirectly shows that she likes young Master. Otherwise, why would she care so much about your intervention?


    I also feel that how young Master and Miss Zhuang Xian interact is a little strange. They are a couple, but they don¡¯t seem to be that close. They don¡¯t seem to have any relationship. In any case, it¡¯s a relationship that doesn¡¯t seem like anything.¡±


    Mo Su knew what Aunt Feng meant. That was what she was thinking.


    The matter between the two children did not seem as simple as it appeared on the surface. What made old Madam Mo puzzled was why the two of them, who liked each other, were not together correctly.


    Old Madam Mo¡¯s idea of them being together was that they were clearly in a relationship or engaged. This way, the people around them would not be confused. She wanted to help them push their progress, but she couldn¡¯t find a good place to start.


    After Aunt Feng saw the old Madam nod, she fell into deep thought again. She was unsure of Mo Su¡¯s ideas, so she looked carefully at Mo Ye.


    Mo Ye knew that Aunt Feng was asking her for help. She pursed her lips slightly and looked away. ¡°Why are you guys making things so complicated? When it comes to matters of the heart between men and women, if both sides don¡¯t put in the effort, then no matter how hard we, outsiders, try, won¡¯t it be in vain?


    Mo Qian isn¡¯t someone who doesn¡¯t have his ideas. Since he likes Zhuang Xian so much, he¡¯ll use her well. He¡¯s not a three-year-old child anymore. Grandma, will you interfere in matters like chasing after a wife? Just let them develop on their own. No matter what they do these days, it¡¯s all about mutual consent. It¡¯s useless to force them! Instead of worrying about these useless things, why don¡¯t you think about how we will apologize and thank Zhuang Xian?¡±


    Miss Mo was an extraordinarily transparent and carefree person. In her opinion, no matter how worried her grandmother was about these things, it was useless. Children and grandchildren would have their fortunes, and some things could not be forced.


    When old Madam Mo heard Mo Ye¡¯s words, she sighed helplessly. She was too impatient, so she kept thinking of doing something to help Mo Qian so this silly child wouldn¡¯t waste such a good opportunity! How could she not understand this logic?


    However, who knew that her good intentions would backfire today?


    Thinking of Aunt Feng¡¯s stupidity today, Mo Su sighed long. ¡°Don¡¯t you think I understand what you¡¯re saying? I¡¯m worried that Aunt Feng¡¯s actions tonight will harm Mo Qian! However, this matter is no longer as simple as it seems. He¡¯s still putting in much effort, and we¡¯re dragging him down instead!¡±


    Mo Ye chuckled. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything to worry about. We¡¯ll explain it to her when we have the chance. Zhuaan doesn¡¯t look like the kind of person who holds grudges. Maybe she doesn¡¯t even take our discussion to heart? Aunt Feng¡¯s words can¡¯t represent your final thoughts. Zhuang Xian isn¡¯t that stupid; she¡¯ll understand if you explain it!¡±


    It had to be said that Mo Ye was right. Zhuang Xian did not care about what Aunt Feng said. In her heart, no matter what the old servant said, it would not affect her. She did not covet anything from the Mo family.


    Of course, if she were to be so stubborn and say that she had never coveted Mo Qian, the credibility would not be high.


    There would probably be many people who would not be able to sleep tonight!


    The next day, at 3:00 pm, Mo Qian stayed at home. With the help of two recuperators, he officially began his recovery.

 Chapter 458 - 458 Chapter 458. Stood up

    458 Chapter 458. Stood up


    He tried his best to use his legs to support the weight of his upper body!


    Mo Qian¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. His handsome face was red, but his lips were frighteningly white. Mo Qian¡¯s grandmother stood beside him, her eyes slowly turning red.


    Because in the next moment, she saw Mo Qian slowly stand up with the strength of his legs. Even though the process lasted only three seconds, it still excited Mo Su!


    She trembled as she used her hands to support her mouth, which was wide open from shock. She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s back as he weakly fell on the soft cushion, and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.


    She hurriedly took a few steps forward and called out in a trembling voice, ¡°Qian ¡®er! Are you alright? If you can¡¯t hold on, let¡¯s take a break before continuing! Today is your first day of recovery. We can¡¯t rush things. Let¡¯s take it slow, okay?¡±


    Aunt Feng quickly followed Mo Su and held her up, afraid the old Madam would fall!


    The rehabilitation doctors protecting Mo Qian subconsciously looked at each other and found a surprise in each other¡¯s eyes. They didn¡¯t expect Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury to recover slowly in just half a month.


    Did something unbelievable happen in the past half a month? This question was not only Wan Jun¡¯s but also Zheng Kai¡¯s!


    Zheng Kai had always been the doctor overseeing Mo Qian¡¯s leg injury. He had been in contact with Mo Qian for two years, but this was the first time he had seen such significant progress in Mo Qian¡¯s injury.


    When Mo Qian lost his strength and fell to the ground, he had already knelt and reached out to support Mo Qian¡¯s back.


    He looked up at Wan Jun, still holding a folder, and ordered, ¡°Quickly come over and help President Mo relax!¡±


    Wan Jun understood and immediately squatted down, putting down the folder in his hand. He hugged Mo Qian¡¯s calf with both hands and skillfully and professionally pulled and massaged his leg muscles to ease them.


    Seeing Mo Qian regain his senses, Zheng Kai let go of his hand, allowing him to lean on a pillow at the side. He asked respectfully, ¡°How are you feeling, Boss Mo? Does your leg hurt a lot? Do you feel powerless?¡±


    Although he had fallen, it was not hard to see that Mo Qian was in a good mood.


    He smiled and replied, ¡°I¡¯m feeling great! The sharp pain I felt when I stood up has reduced a lot. My legs still lack strength, but they are much better! I think I can continue with the rehabilitation after a short rest!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked up at grandma Mo standing before him. The joy and excitement in his eyes seemed to burn Mo Su¡¯s eyes. ¡°Grandma, did you see that? I can stand up! Hahaha! I can stand up! I stood there for about 3 seconds; I¡¯m counting myself!¡±


    Mo Su¡¯s eyes were red and full of wrinkles. She hurriedly nodded and replied, ¡°Grandma saw it! I saw it! Qian ¡®er, you¡¯re already very outstanding! I¡¯m so happy for you!


    Looking at the grandparent-grandchild pair, who were of noble status, being so excited, Zheng Kai couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    He thought of his previous question and asked gently, ¡°I believe this is the credit of the green-robed apothecary you mentioned some time ago, President Mo? ¡±


    ¡°When I came over at noon, I¡¯d already read your latest examination report. The blocked blood vessels and the injured muscle groups in your calf have been cleared and recovered. How did this green-robed apothecary solve a problem that even modern medicine couldn¡¯t completely eradicate? And in such a short period, this was too magical! Could this green-robed apothecary be some hidden peerless divine Doctor? I¡¯d like to see this godly doctor¡¯s grace with my eyes if possible!¡±


    As Zheng Kai spoke, he finally realized he had been a little too excited. He smiled apologetically and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss Mo! I¡¯m a little too excited! I have many questions about his treatment plan to treat your leg injury!¡±


    As he listened to Zheng Kai repeatedly call him ¡®miracle doctor,¡¯ the corners of Mo Qian¡¯s mouth slowly lifted into a happy smile, but the curve was so slight that no one could see it.


    He took the handkerchief from grandma Mo and wiped the sweat off his face.

 Chapter 459 - 459 Chapter 459. Medical Case

    459 Chapter 459. Medical Case


    The light in Mo Qian¡¯s beautiful eyes made him look energetic. He turned his head with a faint smile, looked at Zheng Kai and Wan Jun, and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do! Because this green-robed apothecary¡¯s movements have always been secretive, I cannot determine her location!


    However, the folder that doctor Wan took just now contains all of the medicine Master Qing Yi¡¯s current treatment plans. I want the two of you to take a look at them. I¡¯ll need your assistance in my follow-up rehabilitation treatment. Of course, it¡¯s entirely by the treatment plan that Qing Yi has drawn up!¡±


    Seeing the disappointed expressions on Zheng Kai and Wan Jun¡¯s faces when they heard that he couldn¡¯t determine Qing Yi¡¯s location, Mo Qian smiled and added the latter part of his sentence without changing his expression.


    Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the information he was holding was from Qing Yi, Wan Jun immediately picked up the folder again and looked at it with a curious expression.


    A few seconds later, he raised his head and excitedly looked at Mo Qian again, ¡°I just felt that this information doesn¡¯t look simple. The person who can make such a detailed and wonderful treatment plan must have great medical skills! So this is the medical case that came from the hands of the green-robed apothecary. It¡¯s indeed very different!¡±


    ¡°Yup! I should have guessed it just now, but I didn¡¯t dare to confirm it! You may not know how special and important this medical case is to us in the medical world! As long as we have your successful case, this medical case can continue to be studied in depth and then be widely published!¡± The more Zheng Kai spoke, the more excited he became. His eyes flashed with a very loving and selfless light. ¡°This is a great undertaking for the benefit of the world! This medicine master in green is truly a genius!¡±


    However, as he spoke, he thought of another problem, and the excited look on his face suddenly froze.


    He probed Mo Qian and asked, ¡°I don¡¯t know what this green-robed apothecary thinks. Is he willing to contribute this medical case for us to study? Of course, we will respect his wishes and copyright!¡±


    Mo Qian looked at the excited Zheng Kai with a faint smile. His mind was filled with the girl still training hard in Blue Eagle Base. Unconsciously, his eyes were filled with tenderness and faint helplessness. ¡°I think she would be happy to do such a good thing! However, don¡¯t worry about this matter. I¡¯ll tell you after I ask her the next time we meet!¡±


    When Zheng Kai heard this, he nodded happily. ¡°That¡¯s great. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mo! Thank you!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of lifting a finger; it¡¯s not a big deal. However, has your Research Institute been established? I didn¡¯t expect you to be so fast!¡± Mo Qian replied with a chuckle. With the help of Wan Jun¡¯s arm strength, he raised his hand and slowly supported his back.


    He thought momentarily and added, ¡°If there¡¯s anything you need my help with, tell me. I¡¯ll do my best as long as it¡¯s within my means! After all, there aren¡¯t many doctors who are as ambitious and kind-hearted as you! I quite admire you guys!¡±


    Zheng Kai raised his hand to support Mo Qian, his eyes full of respect and gratitude. He smiled sincerely and said, ¡°Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Mo! However, you¡¯ve already helped our Savior Research Institute a lot. I don¡¯t know how to thank you anymore!¡±


    Wan Jun also looked at Mo Qian gratefully. Since he and Zheng Kai had devoted themselves to establishing the Savior Research Institute, Mo Qian had given them a lot of help in the past year!


    It could be said that without Mo Qian, there would be no such thing as Savior Research Institute. Zheng Kai¡¯s and his dreams would be nothing more than empty talk.


    Mo Qian said that there were not many doctors like them. There were even fewer kind and generous Confucian merchants like him!


    Mr. Mo even said he admired their kindness but didn¡¯t know how grateful they were for his help!


    Speaking of which, there was no need to mention the Saviour Research Institute. It was a charity research Institute that had just emerged in the medical world of Z Country!

 Chapter 460 - 460 Chapter 460. The Savior

    460 Chapter 460. The Savior


    A group of patriotic medical staff formed Savior Research Institute. It is led by Zheng Kai, an outstanding Doctor Who graduated from the world¡¯s most famous Medical University, and his junior, Wan Jun. They are committed to establishing a free charity organization for Z Country to research and cure rare diseases.


    This Research Institute was still very young, but its slogan and original intention were shocking!


    ¡®Savior,¡¯ the Savior of the world!


    In today¡¯s realistic and profit-driven world, who would dare to say that they were the Saviors of the world?


    Only such a group of enthusiastic, benevolent, and loving doctors dared to step forward and try to lift this heavy name.


    Mo Qian said that he admired them, but it was actually from the bottom of his heart. Although he had invested much money in establishing this Research Institute, he had not paid much attention to other aspects.


    Now that Zheng Kai had mentioned it, he remembered there was such a thing!


    ¡°That¡¯s right, senior brother! We can invite Mr. Mo to the charity auction tonight!¡± Wan Jun suddenly thought of something and said.


    Seeing Zheng Kai and Mo Qian¡¯s confused faces, he said happily, ¡°If someone like Mr. Mo can attend our charity auction, isn¡¯t that equivalent to a free large-scale advertisement? With Mr. Mo around, do you still have to worry about the awkward silence tonight? If the tycoons in City H knew that Mr. Mo would be attending, they would trample on the door.¡±


    When Wan Jun opened his mouth, Zheng Kai knew what he meant. However, Zheng Kai hesitated about this suggestion and was somewhat suspicious of ¡®using¡¯ Mo Qian.


    He looked at Mo Qian, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Mo Qian.


    ¡°You can! Tell me the time and address. I¡¯ll let my assistant look at the schedule and try to make time to go there in the evening.¡± Mo Qian said.


    After hearing Mo Qian¡¯s promise, Wan Jun was overjoyed. He looked at Mo Qian with joy and gratitude, ¡°Thank you in advance, Mr. Mo! We¡¯ve reserved the best private room for today¡¯s auction for you, and we¡¯ll be waiting for your arrival!¡±


    Zheng Kai saw that his Junior brother had confirmed what would happen that night with Mo Qian, and his mood was a little complicated. He didn¡¯t know whether he should laugh or feel helpless.


    It was only because Mr. Mo was very approachable that Wan Jun would not offend anyone else!


    However, he had to admit that Wan Jun¡¯s method was feasible. With Mo Qian¡¯s support, tonight¡¯s auction will be a success!


    After all, Mo Qian was the target of all the wealthy gentlemen in City H¡¯s business circle. They would naturally be interested in something as long as Mo Qian was interested in it!


    After all, everyone wanted to bask in the glory of the Mo Group. They could make money together!


    After settling this matter, Mo Qian persevered and recuperated for a long time. He lay on the blanket, motionless, and panted heavily. When it was close to 6 p.m., He finally ended the first day¡¯s hard work.


    When Mo Lian came in with a tray, she saw this scene.


    Sighing lightly, the corners of her mouth lifted into a gratified smile. She walked over directly and looked at Mo Qian¡¯s sweaty face, saying, ¡°Are you satisfied, young Master Mo? I heard from grandma that you locked yourself in your room this afternoon. The treatment can¡¯t be changed overnight. You can¡¯t work so hard! Don¡¯t put the cart before the horse; it¡¯ll be too late for you to cry! Don¡¯t let Zhuang Xian¡¯s hard work go to waste!¡±


    Mo Ye¡¯s words were sarcastic, but her worry for Mo Qian was not fake. This was her unique way of ¡®protecting¡¯ Mo Qian.


    Seeing Mo Qian¡¯s lips curl slightly but still ignoring him, Mo Ye continued. ¡°Are you hungry? You should quickly sit up to eat something and drink the medicinal cuisine! This is what Zhuang Xian told you repeatedly; you can¡¯t be thinking of getting lectured by her again, right?¡±


    She placed the tray on the soft cushion and observed Mo Qian¡¯s expression.


    Mo Qian turned his head and looked at Mo Ye helplessly. He supported his body and slowly sat up.

 Chapter 461 - 461 Chapter 461. Candidate to be a Wife Slave

    461 Chapter 461. Candidate to be a Wife Slave


    Mo Qian¡¯s gaze shifted to the medicinal cuisine and food. ¡°How do you know she had repeatedly instructed me to do so? ¡±


    Seeing that Mo Qian was about to get up, Mo Ye quickly raised her hand to support his arm. She smiled and explained, ¡°After we returned yesterday, I listened to Mo Xi¡¯s report to you in the living room!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Mo Qian gossipily and said with a bit of ridicule, ¡°Our sister Zhuang Xian is something. This is the first time I¡¯ve met someone so rude to you! In the past, I didn¡¯t dare to think there would be a time when you would be so easily manipulated. I¡¯m so happy! I could imagine the expression on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face when Mo Xi told her that!¡±


    Mo Qian looked at Mo Ye helplessly. When this person finally stopped her endless ¡®speech,¡¯ Mo Qian reached out and picked up the food on the tray.


    After a few hours, he was indeed a little hungry. The physical strength he had consumed had far exceeded what he had needed for the previous day.


    Mo Qian was in a perfect mood during his recovery today. Even if the process was painful, his heart was eager to be tempered by this pain! However, this kind of experience was scarce.


    ¡°I¡¯m shocked at how thick-skinned you are. Are you sure you only heard it? To be able to eavesdrop on other people¡¯s conversations so openly could be considered a talent! Why do I feel like you know a lot of things?¡± Mo Qian took a sip of the hot soup and replied.


    Mo Ye didn¡¯t think that Mo Qian¡¯s enigma could hurt her. She curled her lips and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll take it as a compliment! Thank you!¡±


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s calm expression, Mo Ye¡¯s eyes flashed. She pretended to ask casually, ¡°How many days until Zhuang Xian¡¯s military training ends? I¡¯m unfamiliar with City H, and I don¡¯t even have anyone to shop and eat with me. If only Zhuang Xian could accompany me, then we¡¯d be able to get along!¡±


    Hearing the name hidden in his heart for the whole day, Mo Qian raised his eyes slightly, and the movement of holding the spoon also paused. After a few seconds of silence, he replied in a gentle voice, ¡°After today, it should be more than half. She¡¯ll be back soon.¡±


    Mo Ye looked at Mo Qian¡¯s expression, and the smile on her face widened. ¡°It seems that you¡¯re not angry anymore, right? Last night, your stinky face scared me to death! It¡¯s only because Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind is far more intelligent than ordinary people¡¯s. They would have burst into tears on the spot if it were anyone else!¡±


    Hearing this, Mo Qian turned to look at Mo Ye. The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he frowned and asked, ¡°Was my expression really that fierce?¡±


    He seemed to have started to question his performance at that time. His lowered eyebrows were full of lovely worry, which was natural in Mo Ye¡¯s eyes.


    Mo Ye looked at Mo Qian with a funny look and couldn¡¯t help but laugh a few times. He shook his head and said, ¡°You¡¯re so cute! You look like you¡¯ll be a 10th-tier wife slave, yet you¡¯re still throwing a tantrum at Zhuang Xian? How many days can you be angry? Mo Qian, you¡¯re killing me with joy! Don¡¯t resist anymore, and just let Zhuang Xian control you. Your wife-doting character is the most suitable for you!¡±


    As Mo Ye spoke, she reached out to pick up the medicinal cuisine and handed it to Mo Qian with a smile. The smile in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.


    She looked at Mo Qian¡¯s micro-expressions and movements, and Mo Ye had a rough idea of what was happening.


    It seemed that what she had said to Grandma Mo and Aunt Feng yesterday was true! The matter between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian did not need anyone to interfere. Just by looking at Mo Qian¡¯s attitude toward Zhuang Xian, it was clear that their relationship was not simple. It was not something that others could easily interfere with and influence!


    Although Mo Ye often argued with Mo Qian, her trust in her younger brother was unparalleled!


    Who was her brother? That was Mo Qian of the Mo Corporation, the top genius of the entire Z country!


    So think about what kind of woman would reject such a man? Even a peculiar girl like Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t leave him.

 Chapter 462 - 462 Chapter 462. The Auction

    462 Chapter 462. The Auction


    As she thought about all these random things, Mo Ye¡¯s eyes stared straight at Mo Qian. Seeing that he had obediently eaten the medicinal cuisine, his eyes were full of smiles.


    In response to Mo Ye¡¯s earlier teasing, Mo Qian could only take the loss.


    He was helpless because he couldn¡¯t find any evidence to defend himself. He couldn¡¯t tell Mo Ye that he couldn¡¯t control his emotions because he was unhappy that Zhuang Xian was hiding something from him, which was why everything happened.


    What kind of person had he become? A childish three-year-old child?


    Mo Qian had never been in a relationship before, so he didn¡¯t know about these things.


    As long as it was in front of the person he liked, he would more or less become a little childish. This was not something to be ashamed of!


    Mo Qian was already feeling a little remorseful when he returned home yesterday. He should not have lost his temper at Zhuang Xian. That would not have solved anything; they might even hurt each other.


    Looking at Mo Qian¡¯s silence, Mo Ye knew when to stop talking and brought up another matter.


    ¡°I heard from grandma that you have a charity auction to attend tonight, right? How could you not invite me to such a meaningful event? I want to follow and see. I want to contribute some strength to such a meaningful thing.¡± Mo Ye clenched her fist while speaking.


    Mo Qian put down the spoon in his hand and beckoned to Mo Xi, standing a few steps away, to come and help him. However, the words he said were directed at Mo Ye. ¡°It¡¯s not like you¡¯re short of money, so donating some to the Saviors Research Institute is a good deed!¡±


    Mo Xi walked over quickly and held Mo Qian¡¯s arm, helping his young master sit steadily in the wheelchair.¡± There are still a few hours before the auction starts. You need to attend an urgent meeting at the company, young master! If we set off now, we still have enough time.¡±


    Mo Qian nodded. Sitting in his wheelchair, he looked at Mo Ye. ¡°I¡¯ll get the driver to pick you up.¡±


    Mo Ye gave an okay gesture and turned to leave the room, mumbling, ¡°Then What should I wear later? It¡¯s a headache.¡±


    After 9 pm, the charity auction co-organized by the Saviour Research Institute and garden owner Wu of the West Sea Manor officially began in the West Sea Manor!


    Ya Qing was dressed in an ivory-white evening gown. She weakly held Ye Zheng¡¯s arm, and they walked into the venue together.


    She attracted many people¡¯s attention when she walked in with Ye Zheng. The style of her gown was exquisite and clean. The cut was perfect, and her slim waist perfectly showed her figure.


    Recently, Xiang Nan was detained by the elders in his family and forced to go back to the company to work. It was not easy for him to come to the auction today.


    Young master Xiang, who hadn¡¯t seen a new face for a long time, was pleased. He held a wine glass in his hand and wandered around the venue aimlessly!


    When he saw Ye Zheng and the woman beside him, Xiang Nan¡¯s mouth curved into a disdainful sneer!


    At the banquet held by the Ding family the day before yesterday, Mo Qian had made it clear that he was not on good terms with the Ye Group. Who knew that Ye Zheng would dare to follow them here today? Was he not afraid that his brother Qian would make a move?


    How did Xiang Nan, who had been locked up in the company and at home, know about these things? Wouldn¡¯t the news about Mo Qian be spread like crazy in the entire business circle?


    Xiang Nan sat in his own company, listening to the exciting stories about Mo Qian.


    The reason why he had come today was actually to create a ¡®chance encounter¡¯ with Mo Qian. After all, he had not seen Mo Qian for nearly half a month and missed him.


    Ye Zheng led Ya Qing to walk around the arena. She was so speechless that she was about to roll her eyes. She naturally knew what Ye Zheng¡¯s goal was.


    Ye Zheng wanted to show off to the outside world or that he had the support and cooperation of the big head, Xian Du. Perhaps he wanted to use this opportunity to correct and improve the speculations of people in the business circle about the destructive relationship between the Mo and Ye Groups.


    He wanted to use the influence of Xian Du to influence such ¡®false¡¯ rumors! But how could such a simple and cheap thing be in this world?

 Chapter 463 - 463 Chapter 463. It Would be a Waste if I Didnt Scam You

    463 Chapter 463. It Would be a Waste if I Didn¡¯t Scam You


    Ya Qing was no fool. She accepted Ye Zheng¡¯s invitation to attend the charity auction because she had already thought of a plan.


    Ye Zheng had ill intentions and was scheming in his heart. He had probably come to this auction to earn a good reputation.


    As long as they leaked a small amount of money between their fingers to create an image of being enthusiastic about charity, they could get some unexpected results. This was all good and no harm.


    Of course, some people like Mo Qian had silently funded the Savior Research Institute and didn¡¯t care about the false reputation and applause.


    In Zheng Kai¡¯s words, Mo Qian was a very generous and wise man.


    Zheng Kai once thought Mo Qian was the perfect man in the world. He didn¡¯t know which girl would have an advantage in the future! If he didn¡¯t know his sexual orientation was expected, he would think that a man like Mo Qian was suitable to be a boyfriend.


    However, only after he met Zhuang Xian did he feel that his current thoughts were not entirely accurate.


    Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian were a perfect match made in heaven. There was no such thing as who had the upper hand. If they were to compare who was better, he would think that Mo Qian was the one who had the upper hand.


    After all, only a few people in City H were as beautiful as Zhuang Xian. She was perfect for Mr. Mo!


    Of course, these were all things that would happen in the future, so I would not mention them now.


    In the auction hall, Zheng Kai and Wan Jun stood beside the director of West Sea Manor, chatting with director Wu with a glass of wine.


    Ye Zheng walked over with Ya Qing. He first laughed out loud, but his eyes stared straight at Zheng Kai.


    ¡°That¡¯s great, Dr. Zheng!¡± Ye Zheng said.¡± When I came in from outside, I heard many of your staff members introduce you. Your Research Institute is excellent! There aren¡¯t many doctors like you who do so much nowadays! You guys are the role models of the industry!¡±


    Zheng Kai turned his head when he heard this. After seeing the person clearly, he smiled faintly. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Chairman Ye! You can¡¯t say that. Are you trying to make our Savior Research Institute offend our peers?


    It¡¯s just a tiny achievement, not worth mentioning! I know that you¡¯ve always been ¡®loyal¡¯ to doing charity. When our auction begins, please show your support, CEO Ye! Many old collectors have donated their precious collection of medicinal herbs to show their support for us. If you bid for them, you can use them to maintain your health or give them to others. They¡¯ll be great!¡±


    Adhering to the principle of ¡®It would be a waste not to scam,¡¯ Zheng Kai praised Ye Zheng. He vowed to make this person happy so that he could bid for a few more items later. This could also be considered as letting Ye Zheng genuinely do a good deed and make a contribution that he should to the poor patients.


    Wan Jun hid behind Zheng Kai and occasionally raised his glass to Ye Zheng, but he didn¡¯t say anything.


    As long as his senior brother was present on such an occasion, he didn¡¯t need to worry much. He just had to be an accessory.


    Thinking of this, Wan Jun smiled at Ye Zheng, but the smile didn¡¯t reach his eyes.


    Ye Zheng and Mr. Mo had argued a few days ago, and the news was well-known among the rich. No one knew what he was thinking today, but he dared to come and provoke Mr. Mo!


    Didn¡¯t he receive the news that Mr. Mo would attend the auction tonight?


    Wan Jun did not show it on his face, but his thoughts were very active.


    However, Wan Jun didn¡¯t know that he had guessed it right. Ye Zheng didn¡¯t know that Mo Qian would be there tonight!


    If Ye Zheng had known about this earlier, he would not have avoided offending Mo Qian by attending this auction. At the very least, he would have avoided the matter first!


    However, it was too late to say that now. Just as Zheng Kai and Ye Zheng exchanged pleasantries, Mo Qian and Mo Ye walked into the venue.

    Chapter 464: Chapter 464. A Little Lacking


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The staff of the venue was the first people to notice MO Qian¡¯s arrival. They swiftly informed Zheng Kai that today¡¯s VIP had arrived.


    Zheng Kai returned to his senses after hearing the news. He hurriedly begged for mercy from Ye Zheng¡¯s side and left, taking Wan Jun to welcome them.


    When he approached MO Qian, Zheng Kai smiled and said respectfully, ¡°I thought Mr. MO would be a little late. I didn¡¯t expect you to be here so soon! We¡¯ve already prepared a private room; please take a seat!¡±


    MO Qian slowly retracted his gaze from Ye Zheng and looked up at Zheng Kai and Wan Jun. He smiled and replied, ¡°The auction hasn¡¯t started yet. There¡¯s no need to rush into the private room. I saw some ¡®old friends¡¯ and wanted to say hello to them!¡±


    While MO Qian was saying this, MO Xi had already pushed him from behind, heading toward Ye Zheng and Ya Qing.


    MO Ye raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at MO Qian with interest. She found that this kid had some bad taste. If he wanted to find trouble with others, he could say so. Why did he have to be so ¡®intimate¡¯? He even said he had seen an ¡®old friend¡¯ and wanted to ¡®say hello.¡¯ Was he the kind of ¡®old friend¡¯ who wanted to see the other party make a fool of himself?


    The beautiful and alluring Miss MO, with the mentality of wishing for the world to be in chaos, followed.


    It seemed that there would be a lot of fun to watch today! When she had captured MO Qian at the party the day before yesterday, MO Qian had been making things difficult for this person. She didn¡¯t know what was wrong with this person, but he had offended MO Qian.


    Of course, when Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Huai walked in together, Miss MO¡¯s gloating and eagerness to see the world in chaos was remarkably restrained.


    After all, MO Ye would still pay little attention to her image in front of the person she liked.


    Ye Zheng naturally saw that MO Qian was coming in his direction. He was a little surprised. He secretly felt that MO Qian seemed particularly fond of showing his face in this kind of Vanity Fair recently. For example, he didn¡¯t think MO Qian would attend such a small banquet at the Ding family¡¯s banquet last time!


    Today¡¯s situation was even weirder. This was not MO Qian¡¯s style! A charity auction like this, which had nothing to do with the business circle, should not have interested MO Qian, let alone waste his time attending it.


    Ye Zheng couldn¡¯t understand why MO Qian would suddenly appear here. However, his heart had already begun to panic involuntarily.


    Ya Qing realized that something was wrong with Ye Zheng. She thought for a


    moment and broke the silence. She turned to look at the person who had arrived and understood. ¡°Hello, President MO!¡± she said.


    She seemed to have realized something as she spoke and continued, ¡°Oh, I don¡¯t think President MO knows me. Allow me to introduce myself first! I¡¯m Ya


    Qing, the person in charge of the branch office of Xian Du Economic Times in H City. Nice to meet you!¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian carefully sized up Ya Qing. After a few seconds, he nodded slightly and replied, ¡°Nice to meet you, Miss Ya Qing.¡±


    ¡°The reputation of Xian Du press is well-known across the world. It has earned a glorious name for the news industry of our country, Z. You guys are excellent.


    I¡¯ve always aamrea you!¡± MO QIan cnuCK1ec1 as ne 100Kea at ya Qing, Dut tne smile did not reach his eyes.


    He turned the pinky ring on his hand without a change in expression. ¡°Your


    Xian Du is a Times with individual charm and character, but your judgment in choosing business partners is a little poor.¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s eyes were fixed on Ye Zheng when he said the last sentence.


    This man, who was sitting in a wheelchair and speaking leisurely, had an awe-inspiring aura that was above everyone else. His tone had a faint sarcasm, which made the corners of Ya Qing¡¯s mouth twitch slightly.


    MO Qian¡¯s words revealed what this not-so-great business partner, Xian Du, had. The answer was self-evident.


    Naturally, Ye Zheng understood the sarcasm in MO Qian¡¯s words. However, he was in a situation where he could only be angry but not speak up. He did not dare to go against MO Qian again, nor did he want to pretend that he did not understand. Fortunately, he pretended to be deaf as he held the wine cup and sipped his wine..

 Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: Chapter 465. Ya Qing is in a Difficult Situation

    Chapter 465: Chapter 465. Ya Qing is in a Difficult Situation


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Xiang Nan slowly walked over from MO Qian¡¯s left. Before getting to his seat, he had already echoed MO Qian¡¯s words, ¡°I say, brother Qian, this is your fault! We¡¯re all just confused about Xian Du¡¯s choice of the Ye Group. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too much for you to point out in front of so many people, especially in front of Ye Zheng and Miss Ya Qing?¡±


    MO Qian heard Xiang Nan¡¯s voice clearly, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn¡¯t even turn to look at Xiang Nan, his eyes still looking indifferently at Ye Zheng and Ya Qing. He replied to Xiang Nan¡¯s words and asked, ¡°This is too much? I¡¯m just telling the truth. Xian Du had a better choice but shot herself in the foot! Ye Group was an old company that didn¡¯t do well in anything. Was it worthy of her favor? I think that in the past few years, Ming En Group¡¯s development in various fields and foresight should meet the requirements of Xian Du!¡±


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not trying to criticize the decisions of the higher-ups in Xian


    Du, nor am I trying to make things difficult for you, a mere person in charge. I¡¯m just trying to express some of my doubts! If I¡¯ve done anything to offend you, please don¡¯t take it to heart, Miss Ya Qing!¡±


    MO Qian said as he smiled at Ya Qing. His delicate, beautiful eyes were like a fox that had become a spirit.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that it wasn¡¯t appropriate for them to have a lousy expression right now, Ya Qing¡¯s mouth would have already started twitching, and she would have been speechless.


    She felt that this young master MO was exciting. They had never offended the MO family in any way, had they?


    Previously, because MO Qian still had a partnership with Ming En Group, sister Xian had explicitly instructed her not to make things difficult or go against the MO Corporation in the future.


    For one thing, Xian Du was no match for the MO family, and for another, they did not want to provoke this ¡®Big brother.¡¯ They just needed to do their own thing. If they were to bump into the MO family, they would avoid them as much as possible.


    Zhuang Xian did not want to be seen through so early by this man, who still did not know about her remaining identity. She was still in the process of infiltrating the Ye Group, and it was better to be more cautious to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    Thinking about Zhuang Xian¡¯s previous instructions, Ya Qing forced a smile on her face. She started to complain about MO Qian¡¯s unreasonable and ¡®nosy¡¯ attitude in her heart, but she still smiled and replied, ¡°President MO¡¯s views are, of course, very precious to us in Xian Du. I want to thank you for your generous words! However, I¡¯m sure that the leaders of Xian Du made such a decision because they had their considerations. Now that the wood has been cast into the boat, the overall situation has been set. We should accept this fact, don¡¯t you think so, President MO?¡±


    Ya Qing wasn¡¯t an idiot. Even though she had a lot of complaints and grievances in her heart, she didn¡¯t show it on her face. She couldn¡¯t drag sister Xian down.


    Moreover, she was representing Xian Du¡¯s branch in City H today. Her family had already been ridiculed to such an extent. If she didn¡¯t retaliate, wouldn¡¯t her attitude be a bit abnormal in the eyes of outsiders?


    It wasn¡¯t good to be too cowardly, as it would lose the demeanor of Xian Du!


    Of course, she couldn¡¯t go against MO Qian too much. She couldn¡¯t offend this person to the core.


    Ya Qing felt that her reply just now was very appropriate. It was neither haughty nor humble, and she had her demeanor. She gave herself a thumbs up in satisfaction.


    After listening to Ya Qing¡¯s words, Xiang Nan turned to look at MO Qian; his smile could not be suppressed.


    He felt that MO Qian was mean. If others wanted to get angry at him, they didn¡¯t have a good reason. He was the only one who said all the good and bad things.


    As for whether Xian Du would accept or not, it was none of his business. He was merely expressing his confusion. It was just as MO Qian had said..

 Chapter 466 - Chapter 466: Chapter 466. Pretty Sister?

    Chapter 466: Chapter 466. Pretty Sister?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian was silent for a few seconds before he nodded and replied, ¡± Miss Ya Qing is right. After all, this is your own business. You don¡¯t have to pay much attention to what I, an outsider, said!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Ye Zheng, and the corners of his lips curled up into a slightly mocking smile.¡± CEO Ye, not only are you good at double-crossing and backstabbing people, but you¡¯re also good at acting dumb! For today¡¯s special occasion, I¡¯ll let you off this time. Next time, if I meet you again, I won¡¯t be so polite! You should know my style of doing things, right?¡±


    Ye Zheng remained silent and did not dare to speak. He swallowed and gulped without making a sound. After nodding slightly at MO Qian, he pulled Ya Qing away from the area and entered the auction hall.


    Ya Qing was rendered speechless by Ye Zheng¡¯s action. She raised her hand and broke free from his restraint. She raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered,


    ¡°Chairman Ye is flexible. MO Qian has been making fun of you, and you¡¯re not angry?


    Ye Zheng¡¯s heart ached after hearing Ya Qing¡¯s words. He took a few deep breaths before randomly finding a seat in the inner court.


    He said in a gloomy tone, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be entangled with a young junior like him. It won¡¯t look good on the scene! Young people these days are too flashy. This wasn¡¯t good, and making enemies with others in the circle was easy. It would only do more harm than good to their future development! MO Qian didn¡¯t understand this logic, so let him be arrogant! Maybe one day, he¡¯ll kick down an iron plate. I¡¯m not in a hurry, and I won¡¯t argue with a junior like him!¡±


    Listening to Ye Zheng¡¯s self-deceiving and deceptive argument, Ya Qing was so happy that she almost laughed out loud. She only felt that it was a little ridiculous for Ye Zheng to be able to say these words.


    Regardless of whether MO Qian acknowledged it or not, the fact that Ye Zheng was his elder, just based on the MO family¡¯s wealth that could rival a country¡¯s, it was estimated that even if the Ye Group went bankrupt a few hundred times, the MO Group would not necessarily face any crisis.


    Therefore, Ye Zheng¡¯s idea of the Wheel of Fortune turning and kicking down an iron plate was not to be said. That was simply impossible.


    The reason why Ye Zheng could think this way was nothing more than to use this to comfort his petty, jealous, and narrow-minded heart.


    Ya Qing smiled and sat in front of Ye Zheng without commenting. She didn¡¯t want to talk to Ye Zheng anymore.


    Xiang Nan and MO Ye, who had just seen Ye Zheng escape in a sorry state, looked at MO Qian in confusion.


    Xiang Nan looked at Ye Zheng¡¯s disappearing back and asked, ¡± Brother Qian, are you going to let Ye Zheng off just like that? You don¡¯t need me to help you vent your anger?¡±


    MO Qian looked at Xiang Nan and explained, ¡°Because it¡¯s not worth it for such a person to ruin today¡¯s auction. Zheng Kai and Wan Jun have put much effort and energy into today¡¯s event. I can¡¯t just come and ruin their show, right?¡±


    ¡°Brother Qian, you¡¯re right. As long as you¡¯re happy, it¡¯s fine.¡± Xiang Nan responded.


    He looked at MO Ye, who was beside MO Qian, and felt that this person looked a little familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn¡¯t remember, so he asked, ¡°Who¡¯s this pretty sister? Have I seen her before? Why does she look so familiar?¡±


    MO Qian smiled and did not say anything. He looked at Moye as if he was watching a show.


    For a moment, no one spoke. The only one who answered Xiang Nan¡¯s question was MO Ye, who rolled her eyes unsightly.


    She didn¡¯t expect that Xiang Nan, this young brat, could forget her after a few years!


    But then again, she wasn¡¯t very familiar with MO Qian¡¯s close friends. She had only met Xiang Nan once, and it was many years ago. It was customary for Xiang Nan not to remember her.


    However, Miss MO didn¡¯t care about this. In her eyes, Xiang Nan, ¡®this brat,¡¯ didn¡¯t remember her.. That was asking for a beating!

 Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: Chapter 467. Pavilion Closest to Water

    Chapter 467: Chapter 467. Pavilion Closest to Water


    However, seeing so many people surrounding them, MO Ye didn¡¯t hit him. She just glared at Xiang Nan. ¡°You don¡¯t even remember your great aunt MO Ye; you¡¯re looking for a beating! Do you need me to help you recover your memories, you brat?¡±


    Seeing Xiang Nan subconsciously shrink his neck and stop talking, MO Ye twitched the corner of her mouth and stopped glaring at him.


    When MO Ye opened her mouth to speak, little young master Xiang immediately reacted.


    He hid the confusion on his face and said guiltily, ¡°So it¡¯s sister MO Ye! How could I not remember Sister MO Ye? I was teasing you!


    By the way, brother Qian, have you seen Si Rong recently? We haven¡¯t had fun together in a long time, and I missed you guys! Brother Qian, you have no idea what I¡¯ve been through these days! I want to tell you how my dad has been tormenting me recently!¡±


    Xiang Nan suddenly moved closer to MO Qian¡¯s ear and started another topic. He wanted to avoid the ¡®Fatal¡¯ case before him without leaving any traces!


    He thought of the last time he met MO Ye and how she had teased him, and his heart trembled. He couldn¡¯t afford to offend MO Ye; his life was more important!


    With this thought in mind, Xiang Nan raised his hand and held the armrest of MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair. Just as he was about to take the man away from this place, MO Qian stopped him.


    MO Qian¡¯s eyes looked at Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang, who were a few steps away. He laughed loudly and greeted them, ¡°What a coincidence, brother Zhuang! When did you and the second young master come over? I didn¡¯t see you guys previously!¡±


    When MO Qian called out to them, MO Ye subconsciously turned to look at the person. She quickly put away the dissatisfaction on her face and returned to her dignified and generous Miss Mo.


    When the other people present heard MO Qian¡¯s voice, they were all a little surprised, especially Zhuang Hang, who was beside Zhuang Bai. He was even more shocked.


    How could he not know that his big brother, who had just returned from abroad, had such a good relationship with MO Qian? He even used the term ¡®big brother Zhuang.¡¯


    Xiang Nan quietly sized up MO Qian¡¯s expression. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that MO Qian was brilliant!


    He and Si Rong had been there the entire time when MO Qian had confirmed that he had fallen for Zhuang Xian. From a particular perspective, they could be considered witnesses to MO Qian and Zhuang Xian.


    Therefore, he felt he could understand when he saw how close and passionate MO Qian was to the Zhuang family. After all, if he wanted to court a woman like Zhuang Xian, how could he not put in more effort?


    Xiang Nan understood the old saying ¡®The pavilion closest to the water gets the moon first¡¯ and ¡®To save the country in a roundabout way.¡¯ He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, thinking that he had seen through MO Qian¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Good evening, Boss MO! My second brother and I arrived not long ago, and we¡¯re preparing to go in.¡± As Zhuang Bai responded to MO Qian¡¯s question, an extremely gentle and happy expression flashed across his eyes.


    Zhuang Bai naturally took in the expressions on MO Ye¡¯s face. After the funny things that had happened yesterday, he didn¡¯t think that there was anything wrong with MO Ye¡¯s behavior. He just thought that MO Ye was cute and exciting.


    This should be the first sign of beauty in the eyes of Zhuang Bai as a lover, but he still didn¡¯t quite understand it.


    ¡± That¡¯s good. We¡¯re going in now, so let¡¯s go together!¡± MO Qian took the initiative and said enthusiastically.


    MO Ye glanced at her exceptionally outstanding younger cousin and couldn¡¯t help but admire MO Qian¡¯s thoughtfulness and sensibleness. This was a good younger brother who would help his sister!


    MO Ye thought about this and smiled, ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s hurry in. It¡¯s about to start!¡±


    As she said this, she took a step forward and followed Zhuang Bai with a clear goal in mind.. She said gently, ¡°Speaking of this auction, Zhuang Bai, do you have anything you want to bid for today?¡±

 Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: Chapter 468. Companionship

    Chapter 468: Chapter 468. Companionship


    ¡°I heard from the people at the Research Institute that many items are to be auctioned today! You should¡¯ve told me to remind you when I see something later!¡± MO Ye said.


    Hearing this, Zhuang Bai smiled and replied warmly, ¡°I don¡¯t have anything specific I want; I¡¯m just here to help boost my popularity. There are very few auctions of this nature in City H. We; the Zhuang family, must support it.¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Bai¡¯s words, MO Qian, chuckled and replied, ¡°That¡¯s the same as us! A charitable institution like Savior Research Institute should have more people who know and support it!¡±


    Upon hearing MO Qian¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai smiled and replied, ¡°Yes, President


    MO is right. I have the same thoughts.¡±


    Zheng Kai and Wan Jun were following behind them. Hearing MO Qian and Zhuang Bai¡¯s words, they felt a warm current slowly flowing out of their hearts.


    From a particular perspective, this was what they had been doing. They wanted more people to participate, especially people with high knowledge, like MO Qian and Zhuang Bai. They had the ability and the thought, so they were the most suitable people to participate in the ¡®Saviour¡¯ event!


    ¡°CEO Zhuang and Mr. MO seem to hit it off very well. Why don¡¯t you sit in the private room we¡¯ve specially arranged for Mr. MO? It¡¯s very spacious there, and it¡¯ll be calmer if there are fewer people. The number of people now is just right!¡± Zheng Kai suggested.


    Seeing no objection on MO Qian¡¯s face, he continued, ¡°Although the seating area in the lobby is good, it¡¯s not as quiet and comfortable as the private rooms on the second floor. If you two sit there, it¡¯ll be more convenient for you to talk! ¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian smiled and nodded slightly. He replied, ¡°That¡¯s a good suggestion, Dr. Zheng. It just so happens that there are only four of us here today. If Brother Zhuang and the second young master don¡¯t mind, we can go together. It¡¯ll be more lively that way, ¡± Dr. Wang said.


    Since he had already said this, he would be a little disrespectful if Zhuang Bai still wanted to decline. Moreover, he was a little unable to stand MO Ye¡¯s eyes, which were filled with hidden anticipation and joy.


    Zhuang Bai felt that he couldn¡¯t refuse MO Ye in this state. He took a slight breath and readily agreed, ¡°It would be great if there¡¯s a private room. Thank you for your hospitality, Dr. Zheng. Thank you, Mr. MO, for allowing us to join you.¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Bai agrees, MO Ye chuckled and joked, ¡°Listening to you talking to MO Qian, it¡¯s tiring! Didn¡¯t we have dinner together yesterday? Why are we still so distant? Each one is more polite than the last. Is this a competition?


    MO Qian turned his head to look at MO Ye, who had already achieved her goal but was still making bogus accusations. A weak smile appeared in his eyes.


    He looked at the beautiful scene of MO Ye and Zhuang Bai walking side by side, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up. He couldn¡¯t control his mind and remembered the person who had snuggled up to him and whispered in his ear last night.


    At that time, Zhuang Xian said she wanted to matchmake her big brother, Zhuang Bai and MO Ye. This was an excellent opportunity, but Zhuang Xian was absent, so he could only do it himself! She wanted him to work with her to make the couple finally get together.


    Walking into the private room on the second floor, Zheng Kai looked at the excellent tea and food that had been prepared. He nodded satisfactorily and looked at MO Qian respectfully, ¡°Everything is ready. If you need anything else, Mr. MO, you can find me directly.¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian nodded slightly and said gently, ¡°You¡¯ve already done a good job. The auction is about to start, so you can go and do your work! You don¡¯t need to worry about this side; go!¡±


    Xiang Nan chose a seat near the corner and sat down. He looked at Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang, who were still standing and greeted them with a smile. ¡°The two of you should quickly sit down. The auction is about to begin. You¡¯ve been talking for so long; you must be thirsty, right? I¡¯ll pour tea for everyone!¡± As he spoke, he picked up the teapot with one hand and poured a cup of tea for everyone..

    MO Qian also called Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang to take their seats. Seeing that MO Ye had chosen to sit opposite Zhuang Bai, he felt helpless and amused. He thought, ¡®I hope this cousin of mine doesn¡¯t scare away young master


    Zhuang!¡¯


    After all, her straightforward and generous methods of chasing people were not suitable for everyone. Some people did not like it!


    MO Qian didn¡¯t understand Zhuang Bai¡¯s personality, so he naturally didn¡¯t know if Zhuang Bai would be repulsed by such enthusiasm and straightforwardness.


    However, MO Qian still didn¡¯t know that Zhuang Bai and MO Ye¡¯s marriage was predestined. They were destined to be together forever, and no one could break them up!


    Glancing at the tea that Xiang Nan had poured for him, MO Qian smiled slightly, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, and said, ¡°When I was chatting with Uncle Zhuang, I heard him mention that you only love the biluochun tea in the immortal¡¯s cave. Today, Zheng Kai has arranged for Longjing tea, which is unfortunate. However, I do have two Jin of good quality biluochun at home. I¡¯ll have someone send it to the house. Uncle Zhuang also likes to drink tea and eat snacks, but I don¡¯t drink tea. It¡¯s a waste to leave it at my place.¡±


    Upon hearing MO Qian¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai raised his eyes and looked at him. A slightly teasing smile hung on his face as he replied, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to accept President MO¡¯s gift without reason! The things that can catch your eye are naturally the best. I don¡¯t deserve a reward, so you should keep it for use!¡±


    Although he had already met MO Qian yesterday, Zhuang Bai still subconsciously had his guard up against him. He had a feeling that this person was plotting something against their family!


    He dared not accept this benefit from young master MO for no reason. At least, he had to consider whether he could pay the corresponding price.


    Zhuang Hang sipped his hot tea leisurely. He could feel his big brother sitting beside him suddenly tense up. He didn¡¯t know what had happened after Zhuang Bai went to Blue Eagle Base yesterday. He didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Bai to become so familiar with MO Qian all of a sudden. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t see what was happening in the current situation.


    Whv did he suddenlv bring the matter of gifts?


    Zhuang Bai liked the turquoise conch tea! He thought that he would have a chance to use it in the future. MO Ye repeated it in his mind, carefully remembering it in his heart.


    Seeing Zhuang Bail s firm rejection, she chuckled and said, ¡°It¡¯s just some tea leaves, not golden leaves. It¡¯s nothing! Good tea naturally had to be matched with people who knew tea. MO Qian didn¡¯t like to drink tea, so leaving it with him was a waste! If you feel bad, why don¡¯t you treat me to a meal someday? How is it? If so, you don¡¯t have to be embarrassed!¡±


    MO Ye said, slightly raising her brows at Zhuang Bai and teasing him with a


    smile.


    Sensing the sudden change in the atmosphere on the court, Xiang Nan, who seemed to have finally noticed something, expressed that he was surprised by sister MO Ye¡¯s straight shot.


    Zhuang Hang, sitting beside Zhuang Bai, was even more confused. ¡­


    Feeling Zhuang Hang¡¯s puzzled eyes on him, Zhuang Bai lowered his eyes, coughed lightly, and replied, ¡°This is not in conflict with treating you to a meal. There¡¯s no need to confuse it with treating you to a meal.¡¯


    As Zhuang Bai spoke, he looked up and smiled at MO Ye. His eyes were gentle and moving. He didn¡¯t dislike MO Ye¡¯s straightforwardness and frankness. On the contrary, he felt this kind of tacit understanding and frankness between adults was not bad.


    When MO Ye heard this, he was slightly stunned. She did not expect Zhuang Bai to be so good at flirting. He only casually replied, but it was enough to make her heart beat wildly.


    She smiled at Zhuang Bai and softly replied, ¡°Are you serious? Then it¡¯s a deal.¡± Zhuang Bai smiled without saying anything and nodded slightly.


    Xiang Nan felt that he couldn¡¯t stand the pink bubbles gradually rising in the private room and couldn¡¯t help trembling slightly. ¡°I say, can you two be a little more careful? Where are the single people around you? Isn¡¯t that a little too much?¡±


    MO Ye glared at Xiang Nan quietly. After seeing him admit defeat and act like a coward, she retracted his gaze in satisfaction..

    It was time for the auction to start. The lights inside the venue slowly dimmed, and the ceiling lights on the stage lit up. The host stood behind the podium, and the lights focused on him.


    He looked at the guests below the stage, and a passionate and unrestrained smile broke out of his mouth. ¡°Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!¡±


    Upon hearing the voice from the stage, MO Qian returned to his senses and said, ¡°Alright, stop joking. The auction is starting.¡±


    Xiang Nan succumbed to the MO siblings¡¯ abuse of power and naturally didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. He took a sip of water from his teacup and shrank into his chair, quietly pulling the chair closer to MO Qian.


    Zhuang Bai retracted his gaze and looked at the host on the stage.


    Zhuang Hang glanced at MO Qian, then at his elder brother. He thought of somethinz and also fell silent.


    Under the dim light, MO Qian sized up Zhuang Bai without a sound.


    He didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Bai to be so discreet. He hadn¡¯t even used his strength, and the two had already ¡®Hooked up¡¯ so naturally.


    As he thought of something, the corners of MO Qian¡¯s lips slowly curled up. He began to feel that perhaps Zhuang Xian¡¯s wish to help matchmake Zhuang Bai and MO Ye was useless!


    Why would these two people, who had liked each other, need someone else¡¯s matchmaking? They had better deal with their matters first.


    After the emcee on the stage finished his opening speech, he let out a sigh of relief and said in a clear voice, ¡°The money earned from this auction will be used to fund the latest project of the ¡®Savage¡¯ volunteer medical event! This is a large-scale National Volunteer medical event, and we need the kind help of all the ladies and gentlemen present! On behalf of the Saviour Research Institute and the West Sea Manor, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you! Thank you for coming, everyone.¡±


    As the host spoke, he walked out from behind the microphone and bowed deeply to the audience.


    Three seconds later, after straightening his back, he did not immediately return to the microphone. Instead, he looked at the private room on the second floor and bowed again.


    Seeing the host¡¯s action, Xiang Nan also sat up slightly.


    He turned his head to look at MO Qian and said softly, ¡°I see that this host is quite thoughtful and sincere. He should be one of us at the Research Institute, right? This shouldn¡¯t be the case. If doctor Zheng could organize such a large auction, why wouldn¡¯t he be able to hire a professional host? Isn¡¯t this too strange?¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian nodded his head lightly. ¡°The host is indeed from the Research Institute, but this has nothing to do with whether we can afford to hire him.


    This time, they¡¯ve made such a big event and the auction so well prepared. It¡¯s naturally not because they can¡¯t afford to hire a professional sponsor.¡± At the end of MO Qian¡¯s sentence, Zhuang Hang looked at the host on the platform and said, ¡°I¡¯m guessing that they¡¯re doing this out of consideration for the safety of the auction items! It looks like Savior Research Institute is going all out this time.¡±


    Xiang Nan looked at Zhuang Hang and asked, ¡°It¡¯s just a host; how much risk would it take? I¡¯ve seen so many auctions but never seen such a cautious organizer. So, what kind of different item has Doctor Zheng prepared for the auction this time?


    Zhuang Hang looked back at Xiang Nan and said, ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed anything different on the way in from the external field?¡±


    A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he spoke. ¡°Although this auction is for charity and doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s of the highest standard, other than the necessary security personnel, the other service staff are also wearing the badge of the Research Institute. They are all our people!¡±


    ¡°You mean, although this charity auction is very low-key, the items up for auction this time are not ordinary. That¡¯s why Zheng Kai is so careful and well-equipped?¡± Although Xiang Nan¡¯s words were a question, he already had the answer.


    With that said, he was interested in this auction!

 Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: Chapter 471. The Auction of The Only Book

    Chapter 471: Chapter 471. The Auction of The Only Book


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    MO Qian glanced at Zhuang Hang and said with a warm smile, ¡°Second young master Zhuang, you¡¯re observant. You¡¯ve even noticed such a minor detail.


    Zhuang Hang looked at MO Qian and smiled gently. ¡°President mo, you can just call me by my name.¡±


    MO Qian nodded his head, indicating that he understood.


    The first item had already started to be auctioned on the stage. The host explained in detail, ¡°This is a rare and precious medicinal herb collection book. It was donated by our director Zheng at no cost. It has the most complete and oldest medicinal herbs in country Z. It¡¯s a treasure-level collection of our country¡¯s local medicine! We say it¡¯s the only copy because there¡¯s only one in this world! The starting price is 200000 Yuan, and every 10000 Yuan is an increment. The bidding starts now!¡±


    As the host spoke, he looked expectantly at the audience.


    However, after five seconds, no one in the audience raised their sign.


    This was a very average performance. There were not many collectors among the people who came to the scene. There was no use in bidding for a medical book collection that was meaningless to him.


    Even though the starting price of this precious medical book was only 200000 Yuan, these rich people usually spent more than that when they played cards.


    However, humans were animals that were best at judging the situation. They didn¡¯t want to waste money bidding for something without practical use.


    Zheng Kai and Wan Jun stood in the last row of the seating area. Wan Jun looked at the quiet and indifferent people and was puzzled. ¡°That¡¯s the last copy of the herbal collection. You can¡¯t find it even if you want to. Do these people know what¡¯s good for them?¡±


    Zheng Kai frowned slightly but wasn¡¯t as impatient as Wan Jun. ¡°The place hasn¡¯t warmed up yet. What are you so anxious about? Just take it slow!¡±


    As he spoke, he felt a little disappointed. He didn¡¯t expect anyone to be willing to treasure such a lone copy. He added, ¡°At most, it¡¯ll be canceled, and I¡¯ll take it home to worship! If my Grandpa knew I would donate it, he wouldn¡¯t be happy!¡±


    However, just as he finished speaking, the host on stage suddenly announced in a loud and excited voice. His eyes were looking toward the private room on the second floor.¡± Guest No. 5 has raised his sign to bid once, and the sole copy of the herbal collection is 210000 once! Are there any other distinguished guests who wish to bid?¡±


    He babbled and looked at the people below the stage with encouraging eyes. However, the person sitting on the second floor obviously attracted everyone¡¯s attention.


    A few voices of discussion came from the crowd.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this number 5? Was it because he had too much money? A few hundred thousand for a lousy book?¡±


    ¡°Who are you talking about? MO Qian? I think it¡¯s possible! Hasn¡¯t the news already spread? Zheng Kai, the director of the Savior Research Institute, had invited MO Qian to attend the auction! I¡¯m pretty sure!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for possible! The person sitting upstairs is indeed MO Qian. Not only MO Qian, but Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang from the Zhuang family are also there!¡±


    ¡°Now that you mention it, it¡¯s not strange! They¡¯re all rich people; of course, they wouldn¡¯t care about a few hundred thousand!¡±


    Hearing this conversation, the people in the seating area were stunned. They seemed to have just remembered who was sitting on the second floor.


    Something that even MO Qian was so eager for must be something extraordinary. Since that was the case, they naturally couldn¡¯t let it go quickly, so they all raised their boards.


    Right now, they felt it didn¡¯t matter whether they needed it. When the time came, they would bid for it and give it to MO Qian, and they would be able to gain some face in front of MO Qian. This was the most important thing.


    The host looked at the signs below the stage, suddenly erected like bamboo shoots after the rain. He was overjoyed and quickly announced, ¡°The VIP on the 19th will bid once. The only copy of the herbal collection will be sold for 250000 once!


    Guest No. 10, 290000 once!


    ¡°Guest No. 22, 310000!¡±


    ¡°Guest number 34, 400000 going once! Are there any higher bids?¡±

 Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Chapter 472. Supporting?

    Chapter 472: Chapter 472. Supporting?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Hearing the host¡¯s first announcement, everyone in the private room on the second floor turned around subconsciously.


    Their gazes all fell on Zhuang Bai, who was holding up his number plate.


    Zhuang Bai put down the sign in his hand, looked at Zhuang Hang, and explained, ¡°Don¡¯t just look at the surface! Didn¡¯t you hear the emcee¡¯s introduction? This collection of herbs was the only copy, and Superintendent Zheng¡¯s family donated it! If it was so old that it couldn¡¯t be seen, would director Zheng still donate it to cheat people? Then wouldn¡¯t he be destroying his reputation? Director Zheng shouldn¡¯t be this stupid, right?¡±


    After listening to Zhuang Bail s explanation, Zhuang Hang finally understood. However, he was still very puzzled. Why did his big brother have to stand up for him first and buy this book that seemed meaningless to the family?


    He couldn¡¯t understand this, but people who understood the meaning behind Zhuang Bai¡¯s actions were present.


    MO Qian sized up Zhuang Bai for a long while, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up. He seemed to be in a good mood.


    At this moment, MO Qian felt that Zhuang Bai was excited. The reason why he wanted to bid for this medical book was probably that he had the same idea as MO Qian!


    They all wanted to help Zhuang Xian get this seemingly extremely precious and cheap medical book!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s medical skills seemed to have much to do with Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. She should be very interested in a collection of rare herbs like this.


    This was a tacit understanding between MO Qian and Zhuang Bai after they learned about Zhuang Xian¡¯s little secrets.


    She would be pleased if he gave something like this to Zhuang Xian.


    As if he had finally noticed MO Qian looking at him, Zhuang Bai looked him in the eye. When he saw the smile in MO Qian¡¯s eyes and the unspoken tacit understanding between them, Zhuang Bai had an extraordinary feeling in his heart.


    He subconsciously had a terrible suspicion!


    But fortunately, Xiang Nan, who spoke the next second, helped him break the strange atmosphere.


    Xiang Nan¡¯s interest was piqued as he looked at the bidding voices downstairs. He looked at the host on the stage and said with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s up with the people on the first floor? Just now, the host had been hyping up the stage for half a day, but no one wanted this book. Now that brother Zhuang had raised his sign; everyone started to raise the price. The price of this book had increased by several times! Are these people crazy?¡±


    As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Zhuang Bai, who had just raised his board, and reminded him, ¡°Big brother, do you still want this book? If you want it, you¡¯ll have to bid for it quickly. It¡¯s already at 450000!¡±


    Hearing this, Zhuang Bai looked at the host downstairs and raised the sign in his hand again. I offer 500000 Yuan.


    The host shouted excitedly, ¡°Guest No. 5 has raised his sign again, herb collection 500000 going once! Are there any higher bids?¡±


    The emcee said as he looked at the people below the stage excitedly.


    He had thought that today¡¯s first item would not be auctioned off because he saw that the guests below the stage did not seem to be very interested in this item.


    But who knew that things would take a turn for the better? With young master Zhuang¡¯s lead, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much better. Moreover, looking at the current situation, it seemed that young master Zhuang wanted this one-and-only copy.


    The host was also a medical practitioner, so he hoped that Zhuang Bai would win this only medical book.


    No matter how good a treasure was, if it fell into the hands of someone who didn¡¯t understand it, it would be nothing more than a Pearl covered in dust. This was not the situation that Zheng Kai wanted to see after donating the book. Therefore, it should be the best ending for the herb collection to be won by Zhuang Bai; at least, that was what the host thought.


    He felt that young master Zhuang had the aura of a Confucian businessman and a chivalrous man. Such a person would treat the book well if he got it..

 Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: Chapter 473. 500,000! sold

    Chapter 473: Chapter 473. 500,000! sold


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°Herb collection¡¯s bid is 500000 twice! Dear ladies and gentlemen, do you have any higher bids?¡± The host looked at the crowd below the stage with a conflicted expression. The bidding hammer in his hand was clenched tightly, and he slowly raised it.


    The fact that no one was still raising their boards was already enough to explain the problem. Zhuang Bai had already held the highest price for this book.


    In the auction, there were some unspoken rules. When an item¡¯s bidding price was close to saturation, it was time to give up if one did not deliberately go against the bidder or maliciously raise the bidding price.


    This kind of gentleman¡¯s timely withdrawal and giving up could reflect a person¡¯s upbringing! Of course, if there were some hidden motives behind this ¡®self-cultivation,¡¯ no one would know if you didn¡¯t tell them.


    ¡°Herb collection single copy, 500000 going thrice! Deal! Congratulations to guest No. 5 for successfully winning this rare medical book at the bidding price of 500000 Yuan!¡±


    When the host said ¡®sold,¡¯ the bidding hammer in his hand had already struck down, and the first item was successfully auctioned off.


    MO Qian looked at the host and said softly, ¡°The bidding price for this medical book has doubled. Zheng Kai will probably come up personally later to thank big brother Zhuang for giving this auction a good start.¡±


    ¡°However, books like this that have been passed down from the past are becoming rarer and rarer, and the number of people who know them is also decreasing. This was originally a precious and priceless wealth of experience, but now it has been regarded as worthless by many people. We have lost a lot of our ancestor¡¯s things!¡± MO Qian sighed as he looked at the lone book being carried away by the staff.


    He wasn¡¯t usually a person who liked to be sad about spring and autumn but seeing such a scene today, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little emotional.


    However, MO Qian¡¯s words caused Zhuang Bai to look at him in a new light.


    After all, in his impression, MO Qian was only a wise and intelligent merchant. He did not expect MO Qian to have such an opinion and was a little surprised.


    But Zhuang Bai didn¡¯t show it. He silently retracted his gaze and looked downstairs, only to find MO Ye was sizing him up without moving.


    He subconsciously looked up and asked in a gentle tone that he overlooked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡±


    ¡°There are!¡± MO Ye said.


    Zhuang Bai was slightly stunned. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but the next second, after hearing MO Ye¡¯s words, the expression on his face turned into one of helplessness and amusement. Because he had heard MO Ye say, ¡°He¡¯s a little handsome!¡±


    ¡®Is there something on my face?


    ¡®He¡¯s a little handsome!¡¯


    These two sentences flashed back and forth in Zhuang Bails mind. He looked at MO Ye with a weak smile, not knowing what to say.


    Looking at Zhuang Bai¡¯s helpless expression, MO Ye covered her mouth and laughed. Her beautiful eyes were so happy that they looked like they were watering the plants.


    Perhaps she also realized that her behavior was inappropriate, so she raised her hand and gently shook it to indicate that she was wrong. She smiled, ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I was wrong! I don¡¯t dare to tease you like this. I wanted to ask you why did you buy this book? Don¡¯t tell me you want to study medicine?¡±


    Zhuang Bai sighed softly and explained, ¡°Of course not. I wanted to leave it for Zhuang Xian. I think she would like it.¡±


    When MO Ye heard this, she nodded, not fully understanding what Zhuang Bai meant by ¡®Zhuang Xian should like this kind of thing.¡¯


    While the auction was still going smoothly, in a private noble hospital in City H, the doctors and nurses on duty were already on the verge of exploding from the Zhang family¡¯s ruckus!


    Zhuang Jing fought against several professional doctors in the hospital with her strength.


    Zhuang Jing¡¯s crying had not stopped for the past few days!

 Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: Chapter 474. Ah, Are You Worthy?

    Chapter 474: Chapter 474. Ah, Are You Worthy?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    She was a little tired. Her eyes were red and ferocious. She stared at the doctor before her and waved her arms casually as if she was not worried about hitting others. Perhaps in her heart, she wanted to beat these people who could not cure her daughter to death!


    ¡°Have you seen the injuries on her body? Was that an injury from military training? Not only did she sprain her leg, but he also broke her nose! She¡¯s not even 20 years old yet; how do you expect her to live in the future? And he even said that he found out that she had acquired leukemia. You f * cking farting! If she had such an illness as her mother, would I not know?¡±


    Zhuang Jing questioned the doctor in front of her with a sharp tongue. Although her words were a little incoherent, she still clearly expressed her meaning.


    The doctors had heard her accusations and abuse countless times over the past few days!


    Even Zhuang Jie¡¯s attending doctor could easily repeat and recite the entire article.


    He stood behind the Department Director, and the expression on his face was extremely helpless.


    ¡°Your hospital has to give me an explanation today! If you don¡¯t explain it clearly, then don¡¯t blame me for being impolite! Did you guys take money from Saint Capital University and the military? That¡¯s why you rushed to cover for them! Are you guys working together? Scum like you should die! Do you guys deserve to be in this white coat?¡±


    Looking at Zhuang Jing coldly, she said, ¡°We¡¯re not worthy? Are you even worthy? As long as you¡¯re not blind, everyone can tell with one look who¡¯s the real scumbag between you and our hospital! If you continue to cause daily trouble, who will have the time and energy to save your daughter? Our hospital has been very kind to you. If not for doctor Xiao, we would have called the police to arrest you! Do you think we¡¯re afraid of you?¡±


    ¡°And you¡¯re saying we took money from the military and the Saint Capital University? Who do you think you are? He doesn¡¯t care about you as much as you think! Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? I have something even worse to say. Do you want to hear it?¡±


    The young nurse was young and full of vigor. At that moment, her heart felt like a gun filled with gunpowder, and she shot a barrage of bullets at Zhuang Jing! She couldn¡¯t bear to see the Department Director and Doctor Xiao being bullied by this weird woman.


    Seeing Zhuang Jing staring at her with hatred, as if she wanted to drink her blood, she was unafraid.


    She thought, could it be that there were no laws in this day and age? They had such a big hospital.. How could they let such a person continue to bully them?

    Chapter 475: Chapter 475. Settle Accounts?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Of course, there was no such thing. The young and enthusiastic nurse would not allow such a thing to happen!


    And every time this happened, it was easier to highlight the advantage of young people: they were not afraid of trouble!


    The young nurses were unlike the Department Director and Doctor Xiao, who had to think twice before doing anything. Instead, they lost their momentum and initiative in front of the other party.


    Of course, she also noticed that neither the director nor Doctor Xiao intended to stop her. Since they didn¡¯t object, didn¡¯t that mean they supported her?


    The nurse looked up at Zhuang Jing and said, ¡°If you¡¯re so unconvinced, go to the school or the military! Why don¡¯t you call the police and let them handle it? At least it¡¯s better than you pestering the hospital for no reason, right? Our hospital has never done anything to let you down!¡±


    After Zhuang Jing heard these words, she was so angry that her face turned red, and her chest heaved up and down rapidly. However, Zhang Ting, standing behind her, was a little unhappy.


    Zhang Ting straightened his neck. Although his no longer young face wasn¡¯t bad, it lost in the eyes that weren¡¯t firm enough. His expression and gaze were evasive, and he looked like he was bullying others.


    He looked at the nurse¡¯s face and said, ¡°Little girl! What you¡¯re saying is wrong! We¡¯ve paid to stay in your hospital, so we¡¯re your guests! Not only did you not solve our problem, but you even created a new one for us. Now, you¡¯re even using this argument to deal with us. Is this the attitude your hospital has toward the patient¡¯s family? I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with what my wife said. This is your hospital¡¯s fault!¡±


    Although Zhuang Jie did not take his last name, she was still his biological daughter. No matter how useless he was, he still had to stand up for his wife at this point.


    He also agreed with Zhuang Jing¡¯s words. Zhuang Jie had always been in good health. How could she have acquired leukemia after a fall? Wasn¡¯t this the hospital scamming them?


    Of course, they would not let go of the responsibility Saint Capital University had to bear for Zhuang Jie so easily. There was no hurry to settle the scores; they had to do it individually!


    Their primary mission today was to cause trouble for the hospital. They wanted to let the unscrupulous doctors and nurses in the hospital know that the Zhang family was not to be trifled with, let alone the Zhuang family behind Zhuang Jing!


    If anyone from Ren Xin hospital were here at this time, they would probably suggest to the hospital to call the police immediately and let the police come and deal with these people.


    After all, there was no need to get entangled with people like Zhuang Jing and


    Zhang Ting. They were the kind of scoundrels who could argue without reason.


    For example, Zhang Ting, who had just spoken, was a person who was used to pestering others. After the nurse heard his response, she was speechless, but at the same time, she was so angry she laughed.


    This person didn¡¯t seem to understand what he meant at all. He was telling him the truth and reasoning and even suggesting a solution to the problem, but he was here to obscure the topic and avoid it. He didn¡¯t want to communicate properly. What else was there to say? He might as well call the police!


    ¡°What did our hospital do wrong? Sir, you can¡¯t talk nonsense like this! Which of our treatment methods are not following the normal procedures? How can you be so irresponsible with your words?¡± Xiao Ce couldn¡¯t help but retort.


    As Xiao Ce spoke, he didn¡¯t forget to grab the nurse¡¯s wrist, indicating that she shouldn¡¯t be impulsive. The other party seemed to be really here to cause trouble! After all, the situation was no longer a simple quarrel.


    At this time, the Head of the Department seemed to have finally made up his mind.. He raised his hand to stop Zhang Ting from refuting Xiao Ce¡¯s words, ¡°Our hospital has always respected and loved every patient! ¡°

    ¡°But this doesn¡¯t mean you can slander us so rudely!¡±


    His sharp, intelligent eyes looked straight at Zhuang Jing because he knew that only Zhuang Jing had the right to speak.


    He looked into Zhuang Jing¡¯s eyes and sternly said, ¡°I¡¯m giving your family one last chance now. You need to sort out your emotions and leave the hospital immediately. Don¡¯t be unreasonable anymore! Our hospital will issue a discharge certificate for the patient tomorrow because it¡¯s already so late tonight. The patient can be discharged tomorrow morning, but you must leave immediately! Otherwise, we¡¯ll have to call the police. If we fall out with them, don¡¯t blame our hospital for being ruthless! ¡±


    Zhuang Jing didn¡¯t expect the other party to ¡®threaten¡¯ them. This was too funny. She, Zhuang Jing, had always been overbearing and unruly. When has she ever been humiliated like this?


    These people didn¡¯t care about her at all. Today, she would let them see what kind of person she, Zhuang Jing, was!


    Zhuang Jing, who had a very fierce expression, raised her hand and pushed Zhang Ting away. A bloodthirsty glint flashed in her eyes.


    She took two giant steps forward and raised her hand to slap the director. As she waved, she cursed angrily, ¡°You want to call the police? Alright! I will kill you right now, and you¡¯ll see what the police can do to me! I¡¯m telling you, even if I tear down your hospital today, you can¡¯t do anything to me! The power and connections of the Zhuang family are not something a small Doctor like you can understand! ¡±


    The chief doctor didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Jing to dare to rush up and hit him. He was stunned momentarily, but fortunately, the young people behind him reacted quickly. The young nurse pulled his arm in time and pulled him away from Zhuang Jing.


    Xiao Ce was infuriated by this stupid and ignorant woman. He raised his hand to block Zhuang Jing¡¯s slap and grabbed her with his backhand. With a perfect grip, he immediately took Zhuang Jing down.


    He turned back to the security guards and urgently ordered, ¡°Someone, quickly call the police! Everyone else, pay attention to protect the girls and the director. Don¡¯t be afraid of them!¡±


    The members of the Zhang family behind Zhang Ting had already charged forward when Zhuang Jing was about to attack. In their minds, this was the signal for Zhuang Jing to attack!


    Now that they had seen Zhuang Jing being ¡®bullied¡¯ by the doctor, how could they possibly tolerate it?


    All of a sudden, new and old grudges surged up, and the dozen of them all started to fight.


    When the young doctors in the Department saw that the other party¡¯s group attack was so fierce, they were not without courage. They unbuttoned their


    VVIIILC                    al LCL  DLCU LCU LU pun        DIUC.


    It seemed like they were trying to side with each other, but they were fighting back. They couldn¡¯t just watch this group of people gang up to bully their director and the young nurse in the Department, right? Then were they still men


    Therefore, the sound of beating, scolding, and pushing in the corridor was deafening for a time. The noise made people feel terrified. The people in the wards on both sides had already hidden in their rooms and did not dare to come out. They feared that this group of fierce-looking patients¡¯ family members would treat them as people from the hospital and beat them up.


    However, some kind-hearted people still took the risk to open the door and pull out the panic-stricken nurse in the crowd.


    She half-squatted on the ground and looked up at the kind person who had saved her. She reached out to adjust her cap and said anxiously, ¡°Thank you! I¡¯m going to hide here for a while! I¡¯ll call the police again!¡±


    As she spoke, she began to rummage through her pockets for her phone, but she couldn¡¯t find it. She wondered if she had left it somewhere else during the scuffle.


    The kind person who opened the door for her explained softly when he saw her like this, ¡°We¡¯ve already helped you to call the police. Miss nurse, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m guessing that the police will be here in less than five minutes.. Let¡¯s see how this group can continue to be so arrogant!¡±

    Chapter 477: Chapter 477. A slap


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°Looking at their posture, I thought they were from the underworld! In the end, I asked around and found out that the woman who was leading the fight was the youngest daughter of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Jing. She usually uses the old Madam¡¯s support to cause trouble outside.¡±


    He looked at the situation outside through the transparent glass of the door before continuing, ¡°But this time, it¡¯s their fault. They went too far! The hospital only fought back to protect itself. When the police come, I¡¯ll be your witness. Don¡¯t be afraid of them!¡±


    After the nurse heard the kind person¡¯s words, she slowly nodded. She also looked at the battle outside the glass window and thought about this matter.


    However, they didn¡¯t even wait for five minutes before seeing the battle¡¯s end. They did not wait for the police to arrive. Instead, they waited for the only person who could control Zhuang Jing.


    Old Madam Zhuang walked out of the elevator with the help of a servant. The first thing she saw was Zhuang Jing standing in the crowd and giving orders for a fight!


    Looking at Zhuang Jing¡¯s messy hair and clothes, she was so angry that the hand holding the cane trembled.


    She looked at Zhuang Jing through the crowd and gently lifted her cane. The next second, her deep voice and the cane¡¯s tapping on the floor rang simultaneously. She said sternly, ¡°All of you stop! Zhuang Jing, get over here!¡±


    Zhang Ting was the first to notice old lady Zhuang. She was even a little happy because she felt Fu Qin was here to support them!


    However, after hearing the old lady¡¯s voice and tone, he knew this was not the case. He shifted her steps and moved closer to Zhuang Jing. He quickly grabbed Zhuang Jing¡¯s wrist, saying anxiously, ¡°Now, get everyone to stop. Mom is calling you over!¡±


    With Zhang Ting¡¯s reminder, Zhuang Jing slowly returned to her senses. She turned her head to look at Fu Qin, who was at the mouth of the electric ladder and gulped slightly. Only then did she stop everyone with red eyes?


    There was no need for Zhuang Jing to say anything. After the old lady¡¯s order, the people fighting in the corridor unconsciously stopped.


    Although the doctors and security guards in the hospital didn¡¯t know who the old lady was, they could feel the extraordinary aura from her, so they stopped.


    The doctors were all capable people on duty all year round. Their physical fitness was generally not low. They were not entirely at a disadvantage in the battle with Zhuang Jing¡¯s subordinates. At least both sides had injuries on their faces.


    Seeing that everyone had stopped, Xiao Ce hurriedly walked to the director, leaning against the wall, and asked, ¡°Chief, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?¡±


    Fu Qin looked at Xiao Ce, speaking then, and the person he called director. She walked toward them.


    As she walked, she didn¡¯t forget to sternly say to Zhuang Jing, ¡°I don¡¯t want to say it a third time! Do you want to roll over yourself, or do you want me to pull you over?¡±


    Zhuang Jing didn¡¯t dare to let the old Madam do it herself. She took two deep breaths and slowly walked over to Fu Qin.


    As she approached the old lady, she wanted to defend herself, but she only had time to call out ¡®Mom¡¯ before the old lady gave her a hard slap.


    This slap was thunderous, stunning Zhuang Jing, Zhang Ting, and the ten people behind them.


    Because the people in the corridor had not made a sound earlier, Fu Qin¡¯s slap on Zhuang Jing was so loud that the hall echoed.


    Zhuang Jing¡¯s face was smacked to the side, and she only turned around stiffly after a long while. She looked at Fu Qin, who had a gloomy and angry expression, and asked in confusion, ¡°Mom, what are you doing? Why did you hit me?¡±


    Holding the Department director¡¯s hand, Xiao Ce trembled when he heard the slap.. He looked up at Fu Qin and Zhuang Jing gloomily!

    Chapter 478: Chapter 478. Giving Her a Way Out


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Xiao Ce didn¡¯t understand what these two women were trying to do. He just looked at them coldly, suppressing the raging anger in the depths of his eyes.


    No matter what the other party said today, this matter would not end peacefully. The other party had to give him an explanation!


    This unreasonable and overbearing method, which country¡¯s law is it?


    Even if the hospital didn¡¯t want to make a big deal and wanted to keep the peace, Xiao Ce would go to court of his own will and Sue the Zhang family for deliberately causing trouble and disrupting the hospital¡¯s security. This degree of lawlessness was simply outrageous!


    Were Zhuang Jing and the Zhang family members of the underworld? Was she going to vent her anger by beating people up? In today¡¯s world, such a thing could happen. This was simply unimaginable.


    Fu Qin was indeed someone who had seen a lot of big scenes, but it wasn¡¯t the first time she had to clean up the mess of a brainless and stupid person like Zhuang Jing.


    Zhuang Jing had caused her a lot of trouble in the past, but it was the first time she had been so stupid.


    She didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Jing to bring people over to cause trouble at the hospital. She also didn¡¯t expect her to beat up the doctors in front of so many people and so many surveillance cameras.


    This wasn¡¯t just a stupid mistake; it might even be a crime!


    Fu Qin¡¯s mind was about to explode as she thought about all these troubles. She felt that it was already a blessing from her ancestors that she had not been angered to death by Zhuang Jing!


    It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t hear Zhuang Jing¡¯s question, but that she didn¡¯t want to answer.


    Fu Qin had initially thought that this slap wouldn¡¯t be able to dispel the pent-up anger in her heart completely, but on second thought, Zhuang Jing was already someone¡¯s wife and mother. In front of so many people, she couldn¡¯t wholly disregard Zhuang Jing¡¯s face.


    Punishment and scolding could be done in private, but what she needed to do now was to help Zhuang Jing deal with the current situation.


    Fu Qin¡¯s eyes had been on Xiao Ce the entire time, and she only glanced at Zhuang Jing from the corner of her eyes. She ordered in a deep voice, ¡°You bastard! Hurry up, get over here, and apologize to doctor Xiao and this director! Immediately!¡±


    She didn¡¯t seem to need Zhuang Jing¡¯s answer. As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately said to Xiao Ce apologetically, ¡°My child is rude and unreasonable. I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Seeing that the old lady was apologizing to Xiao Ce, Zhuang Jing touched her face, which was already starting to flush and hurt, and looked at Fu Qin in disbelief.


    She asked in shock, ¡°Mother, what are you doing? We¡¯re not in the wrong in this matter, and the reason is all on our side! You don¡¯t have to apologize to them. Their hospital did something wrong, and they have to pay for it!¡±


    ¡°You shut your mouth! You have no right to speak here!¡± Fu Qin stopped Zhuang Jing¡¯s words with a stern voice. Her turbid and shrewd eyes turned, and the handkerchief in her hand was already covering her nose.


    Only now did Zhuang Jing seem to understand Fu Qin¡¯s gaze. She took a deep breath and shut her mouth, not saying anything more!


    At this time, the servant and the old housekeeper standing behind Fu Qin looked at each other in tacit understanding and started to work together.


    The servant next to Fu Qin was also an old and experienced person. Aunt Wang stepped towards Xiao Ce and bowed to the two doctors before saying gently, ¡°My family¡¯s old Madam is sorry for the trouble and harm my young Miss has caused you and the hospital. The Zhuang family is willing to bear all the losses and damage caused to your hospital by today¡¯s accident. We will also compensate the hospital for the corresponding mental damage!¡±


    As aunt Wang spoke, she gave the old Butler a look. The Butler immediately raised his hands and handed a check with 500000 Yuan written on it to Xiao Ce.


    The old Butler¡¯s face was filled with peace and gentleness. He continued, ¡°This is a small gift from our old Madam.. She hopes Doctor Xiao will be lenient and let Zhuang Jing off this time!

    Chapter 479: Chapter 479. A Small Matter?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°So far, both of you have not caused any serious consequences. Everyone has only suffered minor injuries. Our old Madam¡¯s opinion is that it would be best to settle this matter privately. After all, if everyone knows about a fight like this, it¡¯s not something to be proud of for either of us, especially for the image of your hospital. Do you think I¡¯m right, Doctor Xiao? Department head?¡±


    The old Butler held the check and consoled him with great effort. It was not the first time he had dealt with such a matter, so he seemed very familiar.


    Xiao Ce had been standing in front of the director the entire time. He looked up coldly at the two old people talking to themselves. He turned his face sideways and gestured for the Butler to look at the other doctors around them. The corners of his swollen and bruised mouth had a mocking smile. When I heard old lady Zhuang¡¯s speech earlier, I thought you wanted to apologize to our hospital. So, you¡¯re afraid we¡¯ll make a big deal out of it, and Zhuang Jing won¡¯t be able to back down, right?¡±


    He looked down at the check in the old Butler¡¯s hand as he spoke. The sharp pain from the tear in the corner of his mouth reminded him that a hilarious and ridiculous scene was happening.


    Not only did the old Zhuang family have an unreasonable and stupid daughter, but they also had an old mother who always had a check in her hand and rushed over to help clean up her daughter¡¯s mess!


    Xiao Ce didn¡¯t believe that Fu Qin wasn¡¯t prepared at all. How could a person who could take out a check for 500000 Yuan at any time not know about this situation? Was that even possible?


    Just by looking at the current scene, this was a good show of a kind mother and filial daughter!


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was the victim, Xiao Ce wanted to applaud them!


    ¡°500000 Yuan at once, as expected of your family! It¡¯s rare to see such a large sum of money. Is this 500000 for me alone, or does everyone here have a share?¡±


    Hearing Xiao Ce¡¯s question, the old Butler and Aunt Wang subconsciously felt something was wrong because they saw the sarcasm and provocation in Xiao


    The old Butler glanced at the old lady without changing his expression. He thought for a moment before he answered truthfully, ¡°This is for Doctor Xiao alone. As for the other people¡¯s treatment fees and compensation, we¡¯ll catch up with them later. You don¡¯t have to worry about that. We¡¯ll be very straightforward as long as you promise to make it a small matter.¡±


    Things were already so serious, and these people from the Zhuang family still wanted to make it a small matter. Did she take her stinky money too seriously, or did she think others were fools?


    He chuckled, his eyes filled with disgust and anger. He continued, ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk nonsense with you now! I¡¯ll say it directly; it¡¯s too late for you to use money to calm things down! We¡¯ve already called the police, and they¡¯re probably already downstairs. Today, Zhuang Jing and the Zhang family behind her won¡¯t be able to escape! I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s so full of herself. She thinks that we can¡¯t do anything to her. This is ridiculous! I¡¯m not her father or mother, so why must I be lenient with her? She wasn¡¯t like this just now. She was arrogant and domineering as if the whole world was hers!


    I¡¯ve never seen such a stupid and arrogant person! Even if I have to fight to the

    Zhuang, you didn¡¯t educate her well, so you can only let the police come.¡±


    After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Jing with red eyes, and the corners of his red, swollen, and bloodshot lips curled up slightly. Zhuang Jing felt a little guilty under his gaze, and she quickly turned to look at Fu Qin, sending her an obscure distress signal.


    She was indeed a little confused by her anger just now. She didn¡¯t think the young doctor in this hospital could do anything to her..

    Anyway, as long as the old lady was around, there was nothing she couldn¡¯t solve. At most, she would spend more money. The Zhuang family had no lack of funds.


    What could they do to rich people like them when they saw this group of ordinary, useless doctors before them?


    The doctors led by Xiao Ce were destined to lose to them!


    Zhuang Jing had already thought about this when she decided to teach these people a lesson. However, looking at Xiao Ce¡¯s eyes, she began to have a bad feeling.


    She looked at the hospital staff standing behind Xiao Ce, who was more or less slightly injured. She suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.


    It turned out that her thinking at this time was correct.


    As Xiao Ce¡¯s voice fell, the elevator door in the corridor suddenly opened, and a group of policemen sneaked in. There seemed to be quite a number of them, and they were holding batons. They only put away their batons after seeing that the fighting scene had stopped.


    As for the few people from the Zhang family who had been the most boisterous earlier, their legs had already gone soft when they saw this scene.


    Some even turned around and tried to escape when they saw the police.


    They didn¡¯t commit any murder or arson, but they couldn¡¯t help feeling guilty and panicked when they saw the police.


    When the leading police officer saw the situation, he sighed in relief.


    The information he heard from the headquarters was that the location of the mass beating was in the most famous private hospital in H City.


    Usually, no one would believe that such a ridiculous thing could happen in this private and noble hospital.


    The patient¡¯s family was unsatisfied with the hospital, so they deliberately hired thugs to come to the hospital and beat up the doctors and related medical staff. They didn¡¯t take the police of H City seriously!


    ¡°Who called the police? The ones from the hospital are on my right. The rest of you stand on my left. All of you lean against the wall! From now on, if I don¡¯t ask you to speak or move, don¡¯t move!¡± The police officer in charge of this mission said in a deep voice.


    The other police officers standing next to him had already walked up. They only stopped when they saw these people automatically stand in place according to orders.


    Xiao Ce looked at the police officer and said slowly, ¡°Hello, Sir, our hospital called the police! Patient Zhuang Jie, who is staying in bed six of the Hematology Department, has a family member causing trouble in our hospital for many days. Today, she even brought a group of thugs and gangsters to our hospital. They insulted and beat up the doctors and nurses in our Department for no reason. They only stopped five minutes before you arrived.¡±


    We have surveillance cameras and patients as witnesses. They can prove that I¡¯m telling the truth. Please handle this matter reasonably and give us a reasonable explanation.


    Listening to Xiao Ce¡¯s pre-emptive statement, Zhang Ting was a little flustered, and he hurriedly interrupted, ¡°What are you wasting time! Who was looking for trouble for no reason? Wouldn¡¯t that mean that your hospital will not conduct itself properly?¡±


    ¡°Zhang Ting! Shut up! No one here will think you¡¯re mute if you don¡¯t speak!¡± Fu Qin said sternly, not even sparing him a glance.


    The old lady looked at the police officer and said, ¡°This matter isn¡¯t just like that. There are some misunderstandings in between. It¡¯s so late now; we shouldn¡¯t trouble the police. You¡¯ve been working hard enough every day. We can settle such a small matter privately.¡±


    After listening to Xiao Ce and Fu Qin¡¯s words, the police team leader understood that today¡¯s matter wouldn¡¯t be so simple. It would probably be another troublesome lawsuit.


    He frowned and looked at his assistant. ¡°Get someone to go to the surveillance room and copy the surveillance video!¡±


    ¡°Bring all the people who just fought to the police station for a statement!¡± The leading police officer said expressionlessly.


    After speaking, he looked at Fu Qin again and said indifferently, ¡°Now that we¡¯re here, this matter can¡¯t be settled just because you said so. After all, the people from the hospital don¡¯t want to settle it privately..

    Fu Qin saw that this person was unfamiliar and knew he didn¡¯t know her. She didn¡¯t say anything and just turned around to look at Zhuang Jing coldly, using her eyes to signal her to keep her mouth shut after going to the police station and not cause more trouble for herself!


    Zhuang Jing understood the old lady¡¯s meaning. She forcefully suppressed the guilt and uneasiness in her heart and followed the police out of the hospital.


    This group fight, like a farce, ended with a hilarious ending with the police¡¯s intervention.


    When Zhuang Ming was called to the police station in City H by Fu Qin, it was already 10 pm. He followed the driver and walked into the police station with a dark expression.


    When Fu Qin saw Zhuang Ming, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    When Zhuang Jing and Zhang Ting had been locked up in the detention room, she had run out of ideas.


    When she came from the hospital, she thought that her old friend at the police station could help her, but after arriving here, she found out that Xiao Ce¡¯s family also had a police background and connections.


    The police chief of City H, Xiao Ting, was Xiao Ce¡¯s second uncle. This matter would probably be unreconciled because Xiao Ce¡¯s attitude was unyielding. He was not willing to settle it privately.


    Fu Qin didn¡¯t know what to do for a while. She couldn¡¯t leave Zhuang Jing behind, so she could only call Zhuang Ming, the most promising in the family, for help.


    After Zhuang Ming heard the whole story, he was silent for a long time.


    Ultimately, he only said he would be there soon and hung up the phone.


    The temperature in City H was a little cold at night, so Zhuang Ming did not let Lin En follow him.


    Forced to get involved in this disgusting matter, he glanced at Fu Qin, sitting on the chair, and asked, ¡°Where is she?¡±


    ¡°Your sister and Zhang Ting are both in the detention room. The people at the hospital refused to settle it privately. That doctor wants your sister to have a criminal record! This kind of thing can¡¯t happen in our house. You¡¯re her brother; you have to help her!¡± When Zhuang Ming walked over, Fu Qin raised her eyes to look at him. As she spoke, she slowly stood up.


    She knew if Zhuang Ming was willing to come, he would know what to do. Now, only he could think of a way.


    When Zhuang Ming heard this, he was somewhat speechless. He looked at Fu Qin indifferently, and after a long while, he said, ¡°I suddenly feel a little awkward hearing you speak like this. When did Zhuang Jing treat me as her brother? Now you know to ask for help? Then why didn¡¯t she think about whether she could pull it off before she did such a stupid thing? Isn¡¯t it because she¡¯s confident you¡¯ll help her that made her arrogant and despotic?¡±


    ¡°In my opinion, she has kicked a hard board this time, which is a good thing! Letting her suffer a little loss so that she would know how to restrain herself in the future is something that could be done once and for all! You only hurt her if you¡¯re in a hurry to help her. ¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, Fu Qin almost died of anger. She was about to say something when Aunt Wang immediately pulled on the corner of her clothes.


    She quickly returned to her senses, adjusted her mood and posture, and said to Zhuang Ming with a frown, ¡°I know you¡¯re not happy with Zhuang Jing, but you¡¯re still her biological sibling! Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. You¡¯re here today shows that you still care about this sister of yours, right?


    I understand if you¡¯re angry, but you must help your sister! The Zhuang family can not have a descendant with a criminal record. I will not allow this to happen!¡±


    Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled. ¡°So, what¡¯s important to you isn¡¯t Zhuang Jing, but the Zhuang family¡¯s reputation. Is that right, mom? ¡±


    Zhuang Ming, wearing a thin, long trench coat, looked at Fu Qin calmly. He seemed very curious about Fu Qin¡¯s attitude, his eyes staring at her.


    Since he helped Zhuang Xian get onto the family tree, Zhuang Ming and the old lady were not on good terms. The old lady was unhappy with how Zhuang Ming protected Zhuang Xian and Lin En..

    If not for this incident today, Fu Qin wouldn¡¯t have taken the initiative to look for him. It was also because her other sons weren¡¯t capable, and only Zhuang Ming could be used.


    Upon hearing Zhuang Ming¡¯s question, Fu Qin¡¯s brows furrowed even deeper. She suppressed the worry in her heart and replied in a deep voice, ¡°Your sister¡¯s and the Zhuang family¡¯s reputation are naturally important. The situation is urgent, and I can¡¯t talk to you. If you have any ideas, hurry up and use them! There¡¯s no way Zhuang Jing would spend the night at the police station!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, old lady Zhuang. Zhuang Jing and Zhang Ting won¡¯t be able to leave for a while!¡± Xiao Ting said at the door.


    Fu Qin subconsciously looked back, and when she saw Xiao Ce behind Xiao Ting, she almost couldn¡¯t maintain the expression on her face.


    She remembered that when she was in the hospital, she had asked the old Butler and Aunt Wang to hand a check of 500000 Yuan to Xiao Ce, trying to make him swallow the grievances he suffered today.


    This strong contrast made Fu Qin feel very uncomfortable. She couldn¡¯t breathe, and her breath was stuck in her chest, causing her to feel a dull pain! She wanted to take the money and end the matter, but she had met a true god of wealth.


    Xiao Ting and Fu Qin looked at each other and laughed sarcastically. He raised his hand and motioned for Zhuang Ming, who had been silent the whole time, to sit down. He said, ¡°Mr. Zhuang, please take a seat. It¡¯ll be easier for us to talk after you¡¯re seated.¡±


    When Zhuang Ming heard this, he smiled politely and sat beside Xiao Ting.


    ¡°Thank you, director Xiao,¡± he said softly. I¡¯m so ashamed. I didn¡¯t expect that we would meet again under such circumstances after our last farewell.


    As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Xiao Ce, who was beside Xiao Ting. He smiled and continued, ¡°You must be bureau chief Xiao¡¯s nephew, right? To be able to work in the best hospital in our city, you¡¯re a Dragon among men!¡±


    Xiao Ce knew who Zhuang Ming was. He nodded slightly to show his respect. ¡°Mr. Zhuang, you¡¯re too kind! No matter how good a doctor is, he is still just a doctor. He couldn¡¯t be compared to some people who were so full of themselves. They don¡¯t treat others as humans with a few pieces of stinking money! You didn¡¯t see how arrogant your old Madam was just now. It was as if I was being insensible if I didn¡¯t take her money!¡±


    Xiao Ce looked at Fu Qin and laughed sarcastically, unafraid of offending her. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to use my second uncle at first, but I saw that old lady Zhuang¡¯s methods were too endless. One moment, you have an idea, and the next, you have a connection. I was afraid that you would tire me again at night, and it wouldn¡¯t be worth it for you to extort me later, so I wanted to do it once and for all! I didn¡¯t expect you to bring Mr. Zhuang still out. You¡¯re persistent!¡±


    Fu Qin¡¯s heart ached at Xiao Ce¡¯s words, but she had nothing to refute because what Xiao Ce said was the truth.


    She had been jumping up and down in the police station but only quieted down after Xiao Ting came out!


    Fu Qin felt that she had lost all her face today.


    As long as Zhuang Jing could leave here tonight, she would bring her to justice and teach her a lesson. Only then would she be able to vent her anger!


    However, it turned out that her imagination was just a delusion. Xiao Ce was a man of his word. If he said that Zhuang Jing couldn¡¯t leave, she really couldn¡¯t.


    Zhuang Ming naturally understood the sarcasm in Xiao Ce¡¯s words. He immensely admired him because Xiao Ce did not fear Fu Qin¡¯s means and kept his professional character and integrity. He was already an imposing person.


    As Zhuang Ming thought about these things, he smiled at Xiao Ce. A debt must be paid, and life must be paid. This is normal.


    ¡°I support doctor Xiao in protecting his interests and rights. Since Zhuang Jing has committed a crime, she must bear the corresponding price. Is there anything else you need me to add? If not, I¡¯ll be going back..¡±

    Chapter 483: Chapter 483. What Are You Doing Here?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Xiao Ce was surprised by Zhuang Ming¡¯s words. He did not expect Zhuang Ming to say such a thing.


    He did not expect the reinforcements old lady Zhuang had found would be on their side. This was interesting!


    Fu Qin smashed the walking stick in her hand and raised her hand to point at Zhuang Ming¡¯s nose. She scolded sternly, ¡°Zhuang Ming! Do you know what nonsense you are talking about? Did I ask you to come here so that you can agree with others? Did you not hear a single word I said just now? Do you have to go against me like this?¡±


    Fu Qin¡¯s angry voice reverberated through the entire room.


    Xiao Ting frowned coldly and reminded him, ¡°Old lady! Please don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you; This Is the Police station, not your backyard. Please maintain your manners and silence, or else it¡¯ll be tough.¡±


    Fu Qin, who was in front of them, looked very energetic and didn¡¯t look like an old lady. If they had to describe her, Xiao Ce and Xiao Ting felt she should be a fierce and evil spirit with a Buddha¡¯s mouth and a snake¡¯s heart.


    She usually pretended to be kind and kind, but once someone went against her will and challenged her interests, she would immediately change her form and want to bite the other party to death!


    ¡°Why would it be difficult? It¡¯s not difficult for you, bureau Chief Xiao! With just a few words, you can make me, an old lady, be detained at the police station. What¡¯s so difficult about it?¡± Fu Qin had been the old Madam of the Zhuang family for many years, so she was naturally not scared by Xiao Ting¡¯s few reminders and threats.


    She took advantage of the slip-up in Xiao Ting¡¯s words and started to speak in a strange tone. Her purpose was to provoke Xiao Ting so that she could hold something against him!


    Zhuang Ming naturally understood Fu Qin¡¯s personality. He frowned and looked at her helplessly. ¡°Mom! Can you not be so rude and unreasonable? Do you dare to say that Zhuang Jing is innocent in today¡¯s matter? Since she has done something wrong, she has to take responsibility. You can¡¯t protect her forever! ¡±


    ¡°Of course, you can¡¯t expect me to protect her forever! I wouldn¡¯t say I like to deal with stupid people. Usually, at home, I don¡¯t argue with her because of you, but other people are not me, and I have no obligation to help you dote on your child! Zhuang Jing is seeking her death this time, so she can¡¯t blame anyone else. Perhaps staying in the detention Center for a few days can help her recuperate and let her know that there are some things that she shouldn¡¯t


    Zhuang Ming tried to persuade her, but Fu Qin refused to accept.


    ¡°Mom! You¡¯d better watch your mouth! The reason why I don¡¯t want to care about Zhuang Jing¡¯s matters has nothing to do with Lin En! She had nothing to do with this matter, so what right did you have to scold her for no reason? Don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve gone too far?¡± When Zhuang Ming heard Fu Qin¡¯s curses, his face immediately darkened, and he looked at her with a cold expression.


    All the mishaps that had happened tonight had made Fu Qin angry and annoyed. She had gotten used to saying the words that she had just blurted out at home, so she had accidentally blurted them out. Now that Zhuang Ming had heard it, she felt a little embarrassed.


    Not to mention, a few outsiders were standing beside her and Zhuang Ming! Fu Qin had always placed the most importance on her clan and reputation; today, she had utterly lost both of them.


    The old Butler and Aunt Wang looked at her worriedly. They feared the third young master would anger the old lady so she couldn¡¯t catch her breath and would directly collapse here..

    Fortunately, Fu Qin had always been stubborn and prideful. Even though her entire body was not in the right state, she still held on and did not fall.


    She pointed at Zhuang Ming¡¯s nose and said hoarsely, ¡°Alright! Then you can protect her for the rest of your life! The Zhuang family is no longer your home; it can¡¯t contain a Big Buddha like you, Zhuang Ming! Get lost! Don¡¯t let me see you again!¡±


    As she spoke, she raised her hand to touch her chest weakly, as if angry and anxious. She began to scold Zhuang Ming to herself, ¡°Unfilial son! Get lost! None of you can make me worry. My Zhuang family is unfortunate! I don¡¯t care anymore; you guys can fend for yourselves!¡±


    When Aunt Wang heard Fu Qin¡¯s angry words, her eyes turned red with anxiety. She wanted to say a few words of comfort to the old Madam, but she was interrupted again.


    Fu Qin raised her hand and pointed outside the door, saying in a deep voice, ¡°Go! Let¡¯s leave this place. I don¡¯t want to care about these unfilial children anymore!¡±


    When Aunt Wang and the old Butler heard this, they immediately agreed with tears on their faces.


    They reached out, and each held onto one side of Fu Qin as they quickly left the police station.


    Zhuang Ming looked at the old lady¡¯s hunched back and felt slightly uncomfortable. However, he didn¡¯t say anything to persuade her to stay until they disappeared.


    In fact, from a particular perspective, he had already achieved his purpose in coming here today, which was to urge the old lady not to meddle in Zhuang Jing¡¯s Affairs. Xiao Ting was not someone to be trifled with!


    They didn¡¯t care about Zhuang Jing¡¯s stupidity this time and let this matter happen. Then, they would go through the procedures transparently and openly. This might be the real good for Zhuang Jing!


    If the extent of the gang fight were not very serious, the parties involved would be locked up for ten days to half a month. After paying the fine and completing the compensation, they would be released smoothly.


    If the Zhuang family wanted to use their family name to get involved in this matter, it would not be as simple as it seemed!


    The Xiao family was in the right in this matter, so they were not afraid to argue with the Zhuang family. What Zhuang Jing did was wrong, and she might not even win a lawsuit! In terms of public opinion, Xiao Ce had a great advantage.


    If this matter were to be discussed seriously, it would become very complicated. Zhuang Jing had kicked an iron plate this time. Even Fu Qin was unable to protect her safely.


    Although Zhuang Ming could speak up, he had no intention of helping. He had had enough of cleaning up Zhuang Jing¡¯s mess. He couldn¡¯t wait for Zhuang Jing to be taught a lesson so she would cause less trouble for the Zhuang family.


    Xiao Ting, experienced in protecting his people, was touched when he saw the game between Zhuang Ming and the old lady.


    Mr. Zhuang, you¡¯re such an upright man,¡± he said. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid you¡¯ll anger the old lady to the point that she¡¯ll fall sick? In the future, people will stick you up and scold you behind your back. ¡±


    Zhuang Ming returned to his senses, and a bitter smile appeared. He looked up at Xiao Ting and said, ¡°It¡¯s better to let her be angry this time than to have endless troubles to clean up in the future, right? The old lady has spoiled this sister of mine since she was young. If I don¡¯t correct her now, I¡¯ll be the one suffering in the future!


    Zhuang Jing is indeed in the wrong this time. I have no opinion on how you punish her, but it¡¯s best to make her suffer and let her know who she can¡¯t afford to offend! The people in the family can¡¯t help her forever. No one is born to owe her.¡±


    As he spoke, he sighed and smiled apologetically at Xiao Ting and Xiao Ce. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have spread my family¡¯s dirty laundry in public. I¡¯ve let you and your nephew see what happens at the Zhuang family today. I¡¯m humiliated.¡±


    Xiao Ce¡¯s intuition told him the man before him was honest and upright. He was a good person.


    If it wasn¡¯t for today¡¯s inappropriate occasion and situation, he wanted to pull Zhuang Ming along and continue their last round of drinking and chatting.


    When he met Zhuang Ming at the cocktail party, he had already felt that Zhuang Ming was someone worth being close to..

    Chapter 485: Chapter 485. Xiao Ting¡¯s True Nature?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    After all, Zhuang Ming had a reputation for spoiling his wife. Even Xiao Ce, who was not part of City H¡¯s business circle, had heard of him!


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s honest and helpless words made Xiao Ting laugh out loud. He looked at Zhuang Ming and said, ¡°Just like you said, which family doesn¡¯t have difficulties? This is not your fault; you don¡¯t have to apologize to that kind of person! You are you, and she is her. I¡¯m going to make you my friend today!¡±


    Xiao Ting stood up and looked at Zhuang Ming with a big smile. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was still in his police uniform, which made it inconvenient for him to move, he would have put his arm around Zhuang Ming¡¯s shoulder by now.


    Looking at Zhuang Ming¡¯s bitter expression, Xiao Ting felt that he was more and more to his liking.


    He patted Zhuang Ming¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ve one year older than you. From now on, call me brother Ting, and I¡¯ll treat you as a friend! It¡¯s getting late, and I still have an auction to attend so I won¡¯t keep you for a drink. I¡¯ll call you another day when I have time.¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to find a suitable opportunity. I can only drink two glasses at most. If my wife finds out, I won¡¯t be able to go home tonight. Now that you¡¯re old, you must pay more attention to your health!¡± According to Xiao Ting¡¯s words, Zhuang Ming smiled and made fun of himself. Xiao Ting laughed out loud.


    Zhuang Ming could tell that Xiao Ting was an upright person.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the old lady was so angry that she left, and he remembered that he came here today for Zhuang Jing, he would have thought he was here to make friends with Xiao Ting!


    The entire half an hour had been very long. Even Xiao Ce felt like he was in a dream.


    Although he also felt that Mr. Zhuang was good, he had not reached the extent of his second uncle¡¯s exaggerated love for him. He wanted to express his love on the spot!


    He looked at his second uncle and then at Zhuang Ming. His smart brain seemed to have thought of something. He sighed softly and smiled with a bit of disappointment.


    ¡°Alright! That¡¯s all for today. I¡¯ll ¡®entertain¡¯ Zhuang Jing well! Your old lady can¡¯t do anything to me for now.¡± Xiao Ting wiped the smile off his face and spoke to Zhuang Ming.


    He seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°I wonder if Mr. Zhuang is interested in the charity auction? Why don¡¯t we make up for that banquet today? Since you¡¯re already home late, why don¡¯t you go home even later? If you¡¯re kicked out of the house by sister-in-law, I¡¯ll help you explain. Don¡¯t be afraid!¡±


    Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly at Xiao Ting. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to rely on you today, brother Ting. The charity auction you¡¯re talking about, is it the one at the West Sea Manor? ¡±


    Xiao Ting was slightly surprised and subconsciously replied, ¡°Oh? Do you know about this?¡±


    As he listened to Xiao Ting¡¯s question, Zhuang Ming¡¯s mind flashed with obscure thoughts. He chuckled and answered honestly, ¡°Of course, I know! Our family has already received the invitation. My first and second sons have already gone there today, but I think the auction should end soon.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t strange for Zhuang Ming to know about the charity auction at the West Sea Manor. On the contrary, it was puzzling that Xiao Ting, as the police chief, also knew about it, and he seemed to take it seriously.


    Zhuang Ming looked at Xiao Ting with doubt in his eyes. He wanted to see something from Xiao Ting¡¯s eyes, but Xiao Ting was an old fox.


    He chuckled and didn¡¯t show any strange expression. He just smiled at Zhuang Ming and said, ¡°End? Hahaha, that¡¯s impossible. It¡¯s still early! It is an auction; the later the item is, the better it is! It¡¯s the perfect time for us to go!¡±


    Xiao Ting patted Zhuang Ming¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Give me five minutes. I¡¯m going to the office to change.. We¡¯ll leave immediately!¡±

    Zhuang Ming¡¯s words were stuck in his throat. He first looked at Xiao Ting¡¯s back as he left, then at Xiao Ce. After clearing his throat, he finally found his voice. ¡°Director Xiao is a genuine person!¡±


    Xiao Ce rubbed his nose awkwardly and replied, ¡°Yup! Mr. Zhuang, please don¡¯t blame him. My second uncle has always been a reckless person, but he doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions. If you have any inconvenience, tell him directly. He won¡¯t mind or be angry!¡±


    ¡°Not really. I feel Director Xiao¡¯s temper is very much to my liking.¡± Zhuang Ming chuckled as he spoke, his face full of smiles.


    He took out his phone and sent a message to Lin En, who was still waiting for him at home. He told her that he would be home late tonight!


    Because he knew that he couldn¡¯t escape from Xiao Ting today.


    Five minutes later, Xiao Ce stood alone outside the police station, watching his second uncle and Zhuang Ming leave in a car. His heart was still filled with confusion and bizarreness.


    He felt something strange about tonight¡¯s events, but he couldn¡¯t put his finger on what was weird.


    Xiao Ting was the police chief of City H! How could there be no reason for him to act in such a way?


    To be able to use his power and influence to his level, Xiao Ting was not a simple person. At least, he was not as simple as he appeared to be!


    Zhuang Ming and Xiao Ting were on their way to the West Sea Manor, thinking.


    He knew that for Xiao Ting to do something like this tonight, something must be happening behind the scenes. Xiao Ting was looking for him for something.


    However, Zhuang Ming¡¯s suspicions did not last long. After meeting MO Qian at the West Sea Manor, Zhuang Ming finally understood Xiao Ting¡¯s motives.


    Zheng Kai never thought that he would be able to make such a big scene today. Even the police chief, Xiao Ting, who had never been involved in business activities, had come to support him in person!


    Their Savior Research Institute was on the rise!


    When the welcoming staff at the manor¡¯s entrance informed Zheng Kai that the other party was joking, Zheng Kai suddenly bounced up and rushed over after seeing the person who had come.


    He bowed slightly, raised his hands to hold Xiao Ting¡¯s hands, and said in surprise, ¡°Director Xiao, what brings you here? I ¡­ I¡¯m honored by your presence! Please come in; I¡¯ll arrange a private room for you!¡±


    ¡°Look at you; what are you saying? What do you mean, why am I here? Zheng Kai, you¡¯re holding such a Grand charity auction in City H. Why can¡¯t I come and take a look? I¡¯m also a part of City H!¡± As Xiao Ting spoke, he reached out to pat Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Unless you don¡¯t welcome me and think I¡¯m too late!¡± He continued.


    Zheng Kai did not dare to take Xiao Ting¡¯s words directly, so he replied respectfully, ¡°How could that be possible? Our research Institute is overjoyed that Director Xiao came here personally! Not too late, not too late at all! You¡¯ve come at the right time; we¡¯re just preparing to auction today¡¯s most important item! ¡±


    Xiao Ting laughed when he heard this. Really? That¡¯s great.


    He looked at Zhuang Ming beside him as he spoke and raised his left hand slightly. Then he continued, ¡°Please, brother Zhuang!¡±


    Zheng Kai seemed to have only noticed the person beside Xiao Ting after he was reminded.


    He turned to look and exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Aiya! I was so confused just now that I didn¡¯t notice you. Look at my eyes; I¡¯m sorry, CEO Zhuang! I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Zhuang Ming was not the kind of person who liked to be calculative. He waved his hand and replied with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m fine! I¡¯m also thrilled to be able to accompany bureau Chief Xiao.¡±


    Zhuang Ming laughed heartily after he said this self-deprecating sentence. He looked at Zheng Kai¡¯s stunned expression and felt even more amused.


    Xiao Ting raised his hand and touched Zhuang Ming lightly. He shook his head helplessly and chuckled.


    Zhuang Ming knew when to stop. He reached out and patted Zheng Kai¡¯s shoulder with a smile, then continued, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop teasing you, juniors!


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang are here, right? You can take us to sit with them.. Don¡¯t bother to arrange any private seats!¡±

 Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: Chapter 487. Zhuang Ming’s Company

    Chapter 487: Chapter 487. Zhuang Ming¡¯s Company


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zheng Kai sighed in relief and replied, ¡°CEO Zhuang, you scared me to death. I thought you were outraged! It¡¯s on the second floor of the seating area. The first and second young Masters were here, but they were with Mr. MO! I¡¯ll take you up now!¡±


    Zhuang Ming was stunned and asked, ¡°Which Mr. MO? MO Qian? He¡¯s also here?¡±


    As he watched Zheng Kai nod his head, Zhuang Ming felt even more puzzled. MO Qian had never participated in auctions of this nature before, so everything was strange today!


    Following behind Zheng Kai and Xiao Ting, these thoughts flashed through Zhuang Ming¡¯s mind. He squinted slightly and looked at Xiao Ting¡¯s back. His expression was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.


    After the service staff knocked on the door of the VIP room on the second floor, Zheng Kai smiled and took half a step back. He raised his hand to signal Xiao Ting and Zhuang Ming to go first, leaving him behind.


    He exchanged a look with Wan Jun behind him and then turned to follow.


    How could Wan Jun not understand his senior brother¡¯s meaning?


    He immediately turned around and ordered the service staff behind him to bring two new pots of tea and a few desserts. None of the people in the private rooms on the second floor were simple.


    Xiang Nan was sitting in the outermost seat. He was the first one to look back.


    When he saw who it was, he stood abruptly and called out respectfully, ¡°Bureau chief Xiao! Good evening!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Ming, who was beside Xiao Ting, and continued to call out, ¡°Mr. Zhuang,¡±


    Xiao Ting glanced at Xiang Nan and laughed, ¡°So Xiang Nan is also here! This private room is vibrant!¡±


    MO Qian, had also stood up.


    Zhuang Hang looked at Zhuang Ming, standing beside Xiao Ting, and asked in confusion, ¡°Dad? Shouldn¡¯t you be at home watching TV with Mom? Why did you suddenly appear here?¡±


    Zhuang Bai was also a little confused, but when he saw that Zhuang Ming had come in with director Xiao, he temporarily suppressed his confusion.


    He didn¡¯t miss the way Xiao Ting looked at MO Qian. After glancing at MO Qian from the corner of his eye, he had a rough guess in his heart.


    This bureau Chief Xiao must be here for MO Qian. For some reason, he even asked his father to accompany him. It seemed that today was a big day.


    The things that Zhuang Bai understood instantly, Zhuang Ming had already understood when he had followed Zheng Kai and Xiao Ting upstairs.


    He couldn¡¯t figure out why Xiao Ting would do this and was curious. He wanted to see what Xiao Ting was up to.


    However, looking at the current situation, Zhuang Ming felt he had to save some face first.


    He cleared his throat and answered Zhuang Hang¡¯s question, ¡°What TV? I¡¯m here with Director Xiao to support Doctor Zheng. Of course, I won¡¯t miss such a grand event!¡±


    When Zhuang Hang heard this, he raised his eyebrows. He was smart enough not to expose Zhuang Ming but nodded to show he understood.


    A smile appeared in Zhuang Bai¡¯s eyes. He pulled out a chair and said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there and talk. Dad, please sit down with Director Xiao!¡±


    As he spoke, he turned his head to look at MO Qian and asked softly, ¡°Oh, right. MO Qian, didn¡¯t you say today¡¯s tea wasn¡¯t good? Let¡¯s ask doctor Zheng to change it! You¡¯re the main character in this private room tonight, so you should talk to Dr. Zheng!¡±


    Naturally, MO Qian understood what Zhuang Bai meant. He wanted to change the tea at this time to remind him that Xiao Ting was probably here with ill intentions and wanted him to be on his guard!


    MO Qian looked at Zhuang Bai and chuckled, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re terrible. You said that I¡¯m so picky in front of so many people. However, since there¡¯s a new guest, the tea has to be changed naturally.¡±


    When Zheng Kai heard this, he smiled and replied, ¡°Do I need you to tell me that? I¡¯ve already asked Wan Jun to do it. It¡¯ll be done in a while.. Everyone, please take a seat!¡±

    Chapter 488: Chapter 488. Ghost Hand Lotus


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    As Zheng Kai spoke, he raised his eyes to look at MO Qian¡¯s expression. After he didn¡¯t find any strange emotions, he let out a sigh of relief.


    In the few minutes that everyone was talking, the host on the stage pushed the atmosphere to the climax.


    He looked very excited and held the microphone tightly in his hand. He looked even more excited than he had been in the past few hours!


    ¡°Now, it¡¯s time for the final treasure of our auction today! I can assure you that this item will not disappoint anyone here because it is truly a rare treasure that only appears once in a thousand years. I don¡¯t think many of you here will recognize it!¡±


    Perhaps to pique the audience¡¯s curiosity, the emcee put a lot of effort into his introduction.


    His eyes were like torches, and the expression on his face was unusually impassioned. When he raised his hand and beckoned to the staff backstage, it was like introducing a peerless beauty!


    ¡°Director Zheng was grateful and terrified when he received this old collector¡¯s collection! We don¡¯t know how this old man found out about our research


    Institute nor why he donated this extremely precious medicinal herb for free.


    When we received this herb, we thought it was the doing of some ill-intentioned people. Because in this world, not many people have seen the real ghost hand Lotus!¡±


    ¡°Fortunately, there was a very old herbalist in our Research Institute! He said he was lucky to see the ghost hand Lotus once and could help the director verify its authenticity ..


    After Xiao Ting and Zhuang Ming took their seats, the atmosphere in the private room on the second floor became solemn. There was no trace of the previous relaxation and joy.


    Although Xiang Nan wasn¡¯t as bright as MO Qian and Zhuang Bai, he could sense the strange atmosphere. He felt bored!


    This was supposed to be a chat between young people, and everyone was talking and joking. It was pretty beautiful, but suddenly, two elders came, and the atmosphere changed.


    The pleasant and leisurely chat had turned into a symposium, making people feel uncomfortable.


    As he listened to the emcee¡¯s words, he picked up a cup of hot tea and asked Zheng Kai, ¡°Is this thing so precious and magical? Why haven¡¯t I heard of it before? What did the host say it was called? Ghost hand Lotus? Is it a type of Lotus?¡±


    Zheng Kai nodded and was about to answer Xiang Nan¡¯s question but was interrupted by MO Qian.


    When MO Qian heard the name ¡®Ghost hand Lotus,¡¯ he immediately thought of the rare medicinal herb that Zhuang Xian had mentioned.


    These two names were very close. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, ¡°Zheng Kai, come closer.¡±


    Hearing MO Qian calling him, Zheng Kai smiled apologetically at Xiang Nan and subconsciously sized up Xiao Ting. Seeing that he was chatting happily with Zhuang Ming, he walked to MO Qian.


    He bowed slightly to MO Qian and asked gently, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Mr. MO? Do you need me to do anything?¡±


    MO Qian glanced at the chair beside him and motioned for Zheng Kai to sit down. He then raised his hand and pointed at the auction item. He chuckled, ¡°I just want to ask about the ghost hand Lotus.¡±


    Xiang Nan also came up with the chair he was sitting on and sat behind MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair.


    When he heard that MO Qian had the same doubts as him, he immediately interrupted, ¡°Yeah, Dr. Zheng, I want to know too! Why did its name sound so evil? Since it¡¯s called nether-claw, why is it a rare herb?¡±


    The strange movements around MO Qian did not escape Xiao Ting¡¯s eyes. He occasionally glanced at MO Qian, but the current situation was not a good place to talk.


    Xiao Ting did not expect MO Qian to have so many people with him. He thought only the Zhuang brothers and MO Qian were in the private room.


    He had forcefully dragged Zhuang Ming over because of the excellent relationship between Zhuang Ming and MO Qian. He thought that with Zhuang Ming¡¯s company, MO Qian would have to show him a good face..

    However, the current situation was indeed a little complicated. Talking about serious matters with so many people around was not suitable.


    Xiao Ting retracted his gaze and chuckled as he talked to Zhuang Ming and the Zhuang brothers.


    Sensing that the gaze on him had retracted, MO Qian turned his pinky ring without a sound. He didn¡¯t show anything on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, there was some gloominess and secrecy.


    No one noticed this fleeting emotion, not even MO Ye, who was sitting beside MO Qian and knew him best.


    Miss MO¡¯s attention was focused entirely on another person.


    Zhuang Bail s personality was gentle and thoughtful. When he accompanied the two elders to talk, he did not neglect MO Ye. Occasionally, he would turn his head to look at MO Ye and smile at her.


    Xiang Nan, who had been guarding MO Qian and Zheng Kai, wanted to hear the origin of the ¡®ghost hand Lotus.¡¯ He was already looking at Zheng Kai with bright eyes.


    For young master Xiang, this was indeed a dull occasion. If MO Qian weren¡¯t here, Xiang Nan would have run away!


    Who would like to sit here for hours? Although the items being auctioned were indeed extraordinary, it was boring.


    Throughout the entire process, it was up to everyone to raise their signs and bid high prices! Now that something interesting had finally happened, Xiang Nan was naturally interested.


    For MO Qian to take the initiative to ask, what level of treasure must it be? Wouldn¡¯t he have to be more alert?


    Feeling Xiang Nan¡¯s eager eyes, Zheng Kai felt a little amused. He looked at MO Qian and explained, ¡°The ghost hand Lotus is so rare that you can¡¯t find a third one In tne world! I¡¯ve also near( trom tne Old doctors m tne Researcn Institute that if you can meet an excellent pharmacist, this peerless and precious medicinal material can be made into a world-grade pill that can ¡®cure the dead and grow flesh on bones!


    Of course, this is just the old physician¡¯s one-sided statement. After all, in this world, I have never seen such a super-grade medicinal pill, nor have I met an excellent pharmacist!¡±


    As Zheng Kai spoke, he sighed as if he felt pretty regretful. He looked at the exhibits downstairs with a bitter smile and explained, ¡°It is called the ¡®ghost hand Lotus¡¯ because of its unique appearance. It looks like a human hand, and the color of the petals is also gorgeous and eye-catching. Just looking at it will confuse people as if they have been under some magical spell! That¡¯s how it got its name.


    After our research, we found out that it¡¯s not as powerful as the rumors say. It doesn¡¯t dissipate for a long time and has the effect of helping people concentrate and calm their Qi. It makes people feel that way because its petals emit its fragrance from time to time. It¡¯s very beneficial to the human body.¡±


    MO Qian sat in his wheelchair, quietly listening to Zheng Kai¡¯s introduction.


    The more he listened, the more he felt it matched the medicinal herb Zhuang Xian had mentioned. After thinking for a while, he asked in a deep voice, ¡°Does this ghost hand Lotus have any other name?


    Zheng Kai didn¡¯t expect MO Qian to ask such a question. He asked in surprise, ¡°Mr. MO, why do you ask? Do you know something?¡± He looked at MO Qian with wide eyes and gulped.


    MO Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zheng Kai, asking softly, ¡°Is there a problem with this question? What should I know?¡±


    From MO Qian¡¯s expression, Zheng Kai could tell that Mr. MO did not know much about the ghost hand Lotus. He was silent for a while, then added, ¡°The ¡®Ghost hand Lotus¡¯ is also known as the ¡®Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus¡¯ in the pharmaceutical industry!


    Although it looks pretty, and there are many rumors of it being not very good, it is a rare sacred medicine. That¡¯s why it¡¯s called Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus by the alchemists in medicine. It¡¯s based on its gentle medicinal properties and broad medicinal effects!¡±


    When Zheng Kai finished speaking and looked at MO Qian again, he suddenly found that MO Qian¡¯s expression was one of surprise. Even his usually calm, quiet, and deep eyes had changed!


    Zheng Kai was slightly taken aback and subconsciously added, ¡°I thought it was medicine master Qing Yi who told you about it.¡±


    ¡°You mean that the one below the stage is the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus? Am I right?¡± MO Qian ignored Zheng Kai¡¯s words..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    MO Qian couldn¡¯t suppress the joy in his eyes, which confused Zheng Kai and Xiang Nan.


    Why did he suddenly become so excited? It was just a name that was spread in the streets, and it was just a different name. Was it worth it for him to be so excited?


    Xiang Nan felt that something was wrong with MO Qian. He slowly put away


    the look of listening to the story on his face and looked at MO Qian inquisitively.


    Zheng Kai swallowed his saliva, not daring to answer MO Qian¡¯s question. He nodded heavily and replied, ¡°Yes, Mr. MO! The Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus is what it¡¯s called in the pharmaceutical world!¡±


    After getting a definite answer, MO Qian turned his head and smiled faintly. His eyes looked straight at the exhibit cabinet under the stage, and he beckoned to MO Xi with his hand, instructing, ¡°When the auction starts later, no matter what the bid price is, you must get it for me.¡±


    MO Xi had been standing behind MO Qian the whole time and had just heard their conversation. He was also very excited.


    He quickly nodded and replied respectfully, ¡°Yes! Young master!¡±


    Xiang Nan glanced at MO Xi, then looked back at MO Qian and asked in confusion, ¡°Brother Qian, why are you buying the ghost hand Lotus?¡±


    Zheng Kai was also a little confused. He couldn¡¯t understand the meaning behind MO Qian¡¯s actions, but the thought that had just flashed through his mind came back to life on second thought.


    ¡°Mr. MO, do you want to buy medicine because of apothecary Qing Yi?¡± he asked.


    Without waiting for Zheng Kai¡¯s probing question, MO Qian chuckled and replied, ¡°How should I put this? This should be what I wanted, and I got it without effort! Right?¡±


    The expression on MO Qian¡¯s face was one of joy. He had not expected to see the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus that Zhuang Xian had mentioned to him not long ago, here and now!


    It was really, as he said, ¡®getting it without any effort¡¯!


    He thought that perhaps the heavens were sympathetic to him and couldn¡¯t bear to destroy his hope again!


    Or perhaps it was because of Zhuang Xian that his luck had improved, so everything around him was getting increasingly smoother.


    Of course, that excluded his relationship with Zhuang Xian.


    This could be considered a very incredible encounter. If it weren¡¯t for MO Qian¡¯s unique vision, generosity, and kindness, which allowed him to see through the profoundness and benevolence of Zheng Kai and the other doctors, investing in the Savior Research Institute, and accepting Dr. Zheng¡¯s invitation, he would have missed this Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus that could give him a new life!


    It turned out that everything in this world was destined! If MO Qian had missed these things, he would have missed this scarce opportunity.


    Who would have thought such a rare item would appear in such a small auction? Who could say that if MO Qian had not appeared here today, this Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus, which could have troubled Zhuang Xian, would have been resold to some wealthy collector?


    This seemingly simple charity auction had gathered almost all the rich and influential people in City H. None were short of money, and they had an extensive network of connections.


    If MO Qian had not been present today, he would not have had the confidence to take this precious treasure out of the hands of City H¡¯s collectors and buy it into his hands!


    So at this moment, MO Qian felt highly fortunate.


    He took a deep breath and made up his mind. He was determined to get this Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus!


    MO Qian didn¡¯t reveal too much to Zheng Kai. He knew that doctor Zheng was highly interested in medicine master Qing Yi. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, MO Qian didn¡¯t say much.


    Keeping these secrets for Zhuanz Xian was MO Qian¡¯s promise to her.


    Zheng Kai saw that MO Qian had no intention of saying anything more, so he retracted his curiosity, cleared his throat, and smiled gently. ¡°Then I¡¯ll thank Mr.. MO for your support! With you helping us to warm up the place, our auction today must be a success!¡±

    MO Qian smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Kai, and replied, ¡°We¡¯re just taking what we need; there¡¯s no need to be so polite,¡±


    Xiang Nan looked at the two people in front of him who suddenly spoke in riddles, and there were a lot of questions in his heart.


    He considered asking brother Qian about it when fewer people were around.


    MO Qian¡¯s cold attitude made it difficult for Zheng Kai to ask anything, so a strange silence began to spread among them.


    Zheng Kai picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at the exhibition stage downstairs.


    MO Ye sensed the quiet atmosphere. She turned her head and looked around quietly, then turned her head back as if she was thinking about something. The conversation between MO Qian and Zheng Kai was not deliberately hidden from the others, so everyone in the room knew what MO Qian meant.


    He was determined to get the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus today!


    The host¡¯s passionate speech ended. He looked at the crowd excitedly. Seeing that many of them were interested in him, he became even more excited.


    He had a hunch that the auction at their Research Institute was about to usher in today¡¯s climax!


    The emcee¡¯s intuition was correct. How could a project that could pique MO Qian¡¯s interest not be a climax?


    ¡°I believe that after my previous introduction, everyone has fully understood the preciousness of this ghost hand Lotus! Then let¡¯s cut to the chase and start the auction! Because this ghost¡¯s hand Lotus was donated by the charity collector who refused to leave his name, we have decided that there will be no base price for this item and no upper limit for the bidding price. We will give the greatest convenience to our distinguished guests today! I now announce that the auction for the ghost hand Lotus has officially begun!¡±


    As the host¡¯s voice fell, the blue flannel covering the exhibit cabinet was lifted. The ghost hand Lotus attracted everyone¡¯s eyes in the display cabinet.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but widen their eyes and gasp simultaneously. Only then did they manage to control the shock in their hearts.


    The ¡®Ghost hand Lotus¡¯ was true, as its name suggested. It was a lovely lotus flower. Looking at the color of its petals, people couldn¡¯t help but smile. Its red color was the blood red that carried an evil aura and a kind of Buddhist nature!


    Its branches were a deep green color and looked very thick. A blooming flower bone on the top looked like a slender and beautiful woman¡¯s hand, which was charming and attractive for no reason.


    MO Ye was the only one in the private room on the second floor who reacted quickly. She exclaimed in a low voice, ¡°Waa! This flower is so special and beautiful!¡±


    Zhuang Bai came back to his senses at MO Ye¡¯s exclamation. He stopped looking at the audience and turned to MO Ye.


    He chuckled softly, ¡± But it seems very important to you, Boss Mo. A gentleman does not take what others love. Let¡¯s give it to you.¡±


    Understanding the meaning of Zhuang Bai¡¯s words, MO Ye looked at him with a smile and lazily leaned back in her chair.


    MO Ye¡¯s tone was a little teasing. ¡°From what you¡¯re saying, if my brother doesn¡¯t want it, you¡¯ll buy it for me? I can see that the people downstairs seem to be quite interested in it. Are you that confident that you can get it?¡±


    Feeling Zhuang Ming¡¯s gaze on him, Zhuang Bai showed no fear. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, what¡¯s the point of me giving it to you? As long As You Like It.¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at MO Ye. His eyes were smiling, and the sincerity and gentleness in his eyes almost melted MO Ye¡¯s heart.


    MO Ye raised her eyebrows slightly. She couldn¡¯t hide the happiness on her face, and a faint blush gradually appeared on her delicate face.


    She chuckled and looked at Zhuang Bai. ¡°In that case, I think it¡¯ll be better to change to another one! What about rose?¡±


    Zhuang Bai chuckled, the corners of his mouth showing a hint of adoration. He gently nodded and replied, ¡°Alright,¡± he said.


    MO Jiao and Zhuang Bai were sitting very close to each other. It was hard for others to hear them. From a distance, they looked intimate and harmonious. When they were talking in such a low voice, even Zhuang Ming, observing them, couldn¡¯t listen to what they were saying..

    Chapter 492: Chapter 492. MO Qjan Makes His Move


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s intuition told him that there seemed to be something going on between his big brother and Miss Mo. He did not want to jump to conclusions but was already happy for his big brother.


    After all, it was rare for him to see a candidate who could match his big brother¡¯s aura so well.


    The little episode between Zhuang Bai and MO Ye didn¡¯t affect MO Qian¡¯s attention on the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus. By the time the crowd downstairs had recovered from their shock, the bidding for the Buddha¡¯s hand Lotus had already begun.


    MO Qian motioned for MO Xi to calm down and take a look at the situation of the people downstairs.


    The host looked at the sign that was being raised in the audience and started to announce excitedly, ¡°Okay! Our Lady No. 9 is the first to raise her sign. What¡¯s the price of the ghost hand Lotus first bid?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll pay 1 million!¡± The lady who had raised her board first spoke with a determined tone.


    ¡°What, 1 million? I¡¯ll pay 1.5 million. I want this rare flower.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll raise the bid by 2 million!¡±


    ¡°2.2 million!¡±


    Hearing the uncontrollable bidding below the stage, the host smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. ¡°Let¡¯s all calm down and take it slowly, okay? Let me maintain the order for everyone, alright?¡±


    As the host spoke, he had already raised his eyes to look at the gentleman below the stage who had just raised the bid to 2.2 million. ¡°Our gentleman with the number plate 13 has already bid 2.2 million! Are there any other distinguished guests who wish to bid?¡±


    As soon as the host said this, a few more signs were raised in the audience. He immediately carried out a real-time broadcast, ¡°Guest number 20, 2.3 million once!


    NTA ? f. 1. noil linn


    Guest No. 40, 2.5 million!


    Just as the bidding price below the stage was still rising bit by bit, MO Qian impatiently gestured for MO Xi to raise the sign. He looked at the host downstairs and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯ll pay 5 million.¡±


    When the host on the stage heard this, his eyes flashed with a torch-like light. He said clearly, ¡°Guest No. 1 has raised his sign. The ghost hand Lotus is going for 5 million once! Are there any higher bids?¡±


    In that instant, the crowd below the stage suddenly stopped what they were doing. They were shocked by MO Qian¡¯s sudden participation and appalled by MO Qian¡¯s generosity. He didn¡¯t treat money as money!


    However, they also understood that a mere 5 million Yuan was not worth mentioning to the wealthy MO Group.


    The moment MO Qian made his move, he immediately widened the gap between them.


    The host saw the quiet VIP area and reminded, ¡°Our guest. No. 1 has bid for the ghost hand Lotus at 5 million. Is there any higher bid? 5 million going twice!¡±


    MO Xi put down the sign in his hand and felt that it was already settled. His young master made a move and directly crippled this group of people below the stage!


    The VIP area on the first floor was silent for a few seconds before some quiet but noisy discussions began again.


    The host, standing behind the stage, had eyes full of excitement. He glanced at MO Qian, who was in the private room on the second floor and retracted his gaze. His hand slowly gripped the bidding hammer when he looked down at the VIP area.


    The bidding price had already been called out for the second time. When MO


    Qian¡¯s bid of 5 million was called out for the third time, the auction succeeded. The deal would be truly completed when both parties had their money and goods.


    Just as the host raised his hammer and was about to strike the final blow to seal the deal, another voice came from the private room on the second floor!


    ¡°I¡¯ll pay 5-5 million!¡±


    His words stirred up a thousand waves. In the next second, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the private room on the second floor. Even Ye Zheng, sitting on the first floor, couldn¡¯t help but raise his head in curiosity.


    He laughed sarcastically and said to Ya Qing, ¡°It seems like the people sitting on the second floor are not of one mind! I originally thought the Zhuang and MO families had an intense relationship, but it seems like nothing much.¡±


    As Ye Zheng spoke, he reached out to adjust his collar but didn¡¯t hear any response from Ya Qing..

    Ye Zheng continued, ¡°Why do you think they¡¯re here to snatch this demonic flower? Even if what the host said was true, they still had to find a top pharmacist to refine it! In my opinion, a pharmacist of this level is probably as hard to find as this Lotus. Whv are so manv fools in this world willing to do this kind of useless thing? I don¡¯t understand!¡±


    As Ya Qing listened to Ye Zheng¡¯s endless nagging, she felt slightly disgusted and irritated. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she said in a deep voice, ¡°I think everyone in your family is healthy and never sick, so you don¡¯t understand the pain of seeking medical treatment. The words from your mouth also don¡¯t understand the world¡¯s pain. When a person is really at the end of his rope, he will naturally not give up hope of continuing to live. Boss Ye, you don¡¯t have to be harsh and arrogant.¡±


    Ye Zheng understood the sarcasm in Ya Qing¡¯s words and cleared his throat. He tried to smooth things over. Editor-in-chief Ya Qing, you¡¯ve misunderstood me! I didn¡¯t mean it that way. What I mean is, instead of investing their money in something so uncertain, they might as well think of a course and try their luck in a foreign hospital. Maybe there will be a solution!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Ya Qing with a smile. His turbid eyes flashed with some gloominess. ¡°The auction is already halfway through. I wonder if chief editor Ya Qing has considered my proposal. I know that the higher-ups of Xian Du have high hopes for you, and Teacher Yan An also thinks highly of you, but how can a talent like you lower yourself to the chief editor of a small branch office? If you agree to work with me, I promise to help you become a global editor-in-chief within two years. What do you think? Do you want to consider my suggestion?¡±


    Ya Qing, who chuckled and remained silent, answered Ye Zheng¡¯s questions and suggestions.


    She turned to look at Ye Zheng, who was beside her, and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Chairman Ye, you¡¯re humorous! Since you¡¯re so honest and sincere, I¡¯ll be direct!¡±


    Ye Zheng smiled and nodded, indicating for her to continue.


    Ya Qing laughed and asked, ¡°Then please tell me, Boss Ye, why should I give up my position as the chief editor and work with you instead? Why do I have to do things that harm others and not benefit myself? I owe Teacher Xian Du and teacher Yan An a debt of gratitude; how could I betray them? Boss Ye, you want to poach me so much? It is unlikely! For our recent happy cooperation, I¡¯ll pretend I didn¡¯t hear about this. CEO Ye, you don¡¯t have to mention it again in the future!¡±


    As Ya Qing spoke, she slowly turned her head and looked at the host on the stage.


    Although she did not show it on her face, her heart started turning cold. She continued, ¡°I think today¡¯s charity auction is quite interesting. CEO Ye, you should calm down and participate! ¡±


    Ya Qing knew that Ye Zheng¡¯s intentions were not right. However, she never expected Ye Zheng to be so bold and greedy!


    It was understandable that Ye Zheng wanted to rope her in to stand on the Ye Group¡¯s side, but what was puzzling and chilling was that Ye Zheng¡¯s thoughts were not just that.


    Ye Zheng¡¯s plan was not as simple as roping in Ya Qing. When Zhuang Xian and Ya Qing joined forces to empty the Ye Group, Ye Zheng had the same idea, but his methods were much more straightforward.


    Compared to Zhuang Xian¡¯s deep planning and slow execution, Ye Zheng was more direct.


    He wanted Ya Qing to betray her and become his spy in Xian Du. He also wanted to get a share of Xian Du¡¯s cake in the news and media world. He even said that if a business existed, everyone would do it together and make money!


    However, Ya Qing was not a fool. She knew Ye Zheng¡¯s intentions and did not want to give Ye Zheng any chance to succeed.


    When Ye Zheng suggested this to Ya Qing, she made her stand clear..

    However, Ye Zheng was not someone who would give up easily. He thought that it was because his lobbying and proposed conditions could not satisfy Ya Qing and that Ya Qing was trying to use the excuse of shirking and raising the price. Therefore, after a long silence, he brought up the old matter again and even raised the price in an attempt to move Ya Qing.


    However, looking at Ya Qing¡¯s attitude, Ye Zheng understood what was happening. His face darkened, and he suppressed the disdain and anger in his heart. He started to look at the stage uneasily.


    Ye Zheng was planning in his heart. It didn¡¯t matter if his persuasion failed this time. He would go back and think of a solution. It was better not to make things too stiff for now. He couldn¡¯t offend Ya Qing, either. This would be inconvenient for his future work and plans.


    Thinking about these things, Ye Zheng quickly restrained the worry and anger on his face. He chuckled and replied, ¡°Good! Chief editor Ya Qing is a straightforward person. I understand what you mean. I was too reckless today; please don¡¯t take it to heart! You¡¯re right, this auction was well organized, and the ink-wash painting you bid for is not bad!¡±


    When Ya Qing heard this, she chuckled and didn¡¯t say anything, but her heart was filled with waves of frustration.


    She had to report this to Sister Xian as soon as possible. Ye Zheng didn¡¯t seem like he would let this matter rest. She had to let sister Xian know what to do next!


    However, Sister Xian¡¯s 20-day military training was coming to an end. She would have a good chat with her when the time came.


    No one else noticed Ye Zheng and Ya Qing¡¯s conversation in the dimly lit VIP area. Everyone¡¯s attention was on the private room on the second floor!


    ¡°Guest No. 42, the bid is 6.5 million! 6.5 million going once. Are there any higher bids? Will honored guest number one continue to bid?¡± Like a cooked shrimp, the host¡¯s excited face had already turned red.


    His eyes were staring straight at the private room on the second floor. His hand was gripping the bidding hammer tightly as if he could not wait to make the final decision in the next second!


    MO Qian looked away from Xiao Ting, and his slender and well-proportioned fingers gently pointed at MO Xi, indicating that MO Xi should continue to raise the price. His beautiful eyes were already a little cold.


    MO Xi understood and immediately raised the sign in his hand. He opened his mouth and reported in a deep voice, ¡°7 million!¡±


    After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ting, his eyes cold.


    MO Xi thought everyone in the private room had heard the conversation between his young master and Dr. Zheng. Now that Xiao Ting was bidding with his young master, it seemed a little unkind.


    A gentleman wouldn¡¯t take someone else¡¯s love. If Xiao Ting didn¡¯t come up with a perfect explanation at this time, then he really couldn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°What do you mean by this, Director Xiao? My brother wants this ghost hand Lotus to cure the chronic illness in his leg. If Director Xiao has no special reasons, please be magnanimous and not force me to do this!¡± The descendants of the MO family were all brilliant people!


    MO Ye chose this moment to speak because she knew that MO Qian would not say anything about being maliciously marked down by others during the auction. Of course, MO Qian did not bother to explain anything to Xiao Ting.


    That was why MO Ye had spoken up for MO Qian.


    She didn¡¯t know Xiao Ting¡¯s intention, so she had to be polite before using force.


    Xiao Ting rubbed the sign in his hand and said, ¡°Miss MO, you¡¯ve misunderstood me. I want to see the treasure of the ghost hand Lotus. How could you say that it¡¯s a hostile bid? It couldn¡¯t be that if President MO said he wanted it, others wouldn¡¯t even have the right to take a look, right? You can¡¯t say things like that!¡±


    As Xiao Ting spoke, he smiled gently at MO Qian beside him. He did not say much.


    Zhuang Ming furrowed his brows without making a sound. This person did not come with good intentions! He felt that he had fallen into Xiao Ting¡¯s trap..

    Chapter 495: Chapter 495. The Competition


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian laughed lightly and said in a deep voice without turning his head, ¡°Bureau Chief Xiao is right! I, MO Qian, am naturally not an overbearing person. Since this is the auction venue, everyone will naturally have to rely on their abilities. The one with the highest price will get it! I¡¯ve already made a bid. Do you still want to follow, Director Xiao?¡±


    As soon as MO Qian finished speaking, Xiao Ting raised his board and answered MO Qian¡¯s question, ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll continue to follow! This ghost hand Lotus is a novelty to me, and my mother¡¯s spirit has been getting worse and worse recently. I plan to take this ghost hand Lotus, and give it to her to nourish her body! I¡¯d like to see if this ghost hand Lotus is as magical as Doctor Zheng said! 7-5 million!¡±


    As he spoke, he stated his price in a deep voice, but his eyes stared straight at MO Qian.


    ¡°Bureau Chief Xiao is filial!¡± MO Qian didn¡¯t react to Xiao Ting¡¯s bid, but Zhuang Ming spoke up beside him.


    His tone was casual and funny. It sounded like he was joking, but he was mocking Xiao Ting.


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Ting and continued, ¡°But isn¡¯t it a bit too wasteful for you to use such precious medicinal herbs to nourish the old lady¡¯s body?


    We can¡¯t do such a reckless thing! You must know that when others take this ghost hand Lotus, they do it to save their lives. MO Qian is not the kind of person who likes to fight for it. Perhaps he needs this medicinal herb more than anyone else!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s words were very polite. Although he still couldn¡¯t see through Xiao Ting¡¯s true intentions, he could still speak up for MO Qian.


    He couldn¡¯t wait until Xiao Ting killed him before retorting and saving himself, could he?


    Zhuang Ming wasn¡¯t that stupid. He could tell which was more critical between MO Qian and Xiao Ting. Moreover, Xiao Ting¡¯s intentions were not pure, so he couldn¡¯t just stand on Xiao Ting¡¯s side.


    After hearing Zhuang Ming¡¯s words, Xiao Ting laughed and shook his head, ¡°I disagree with what CEO Zhuang said! Even President MO himself had said this was an auction based on one¡¯s abilities. There was no such thing as being unkind or wasting a heavenly gift! Don¡¯t you agree, President MO?¡±


    ¡°You won¡¯t sell the property to nourish your old lady. That is not necessary! Let¡¯s not talk about whether this ghost hand Lotus is suitable for the elderly to nourish their bodies; it doesn¡¯t look good for you to make such a big move! What was that saying again? ¡®Puffing one¡¯s face up,¡¯ right? I¡¯m only saying this for the sake of Director Xiao; please don¡¯t be angry.¡±


    MO Qian stopped talking and turned to look at Xiao Ting, who was behind him. He had a teasing smile, but it did not reach his eyes. It made people feel a little scared and in awe!


    How could MO Qian not know? Although Xiao Ting, the police chief of City H, had absolute power in his hands, his family¡¯s financial situation was not enough to be called a wealthy family in City H. At most, he could only be considered a police officer who had relied on the strength of his wife¡¯s family to enter the circle of wealthy people successfully.


    MO Qian was quite confused about this. He didn¡¯t understand why Xiao Ting wanted to go against him. What was Xiao Ting¡¯s purpose in doing such useless work? Or rather, why was Xiao Ting so eager to attract his attention?


    Could it be that he had accidentally offended this Director Xiao? This shouldn¡¯t be the case! The MO Corporation didn¡¯t have any critical cooperation with the police recently. If there was such a thing, it was impossible for MO Qian not to Imow.


    Besides, if it was because of old grudges, Xiao Ting shouldn¡¯t have used such a method to take revenge on him. He was too stupid!


    This didn¡¯t seem like something a Police Chief would do!

    After MO Qian finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and looked down the stage. He gently pointed his finger at MO Xi to raise the sign. ¡°My final bid is 10 million. If Director Xiao still wants it, I¡¯ll give it to you! Oh, that¡¯s right.¡±


    As he spoke, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned his head to look at Zheng Kai beside him and asked curiously, ¡°The payment process of your auction requires the buyer¡¯s assets to be verified, right? The bank would have closed by now, and bureau Chief Xiao would be unable to fork out more than 10 million Yuan quickly! Can you wait until then? Can one buy this on credit after he¡¯s won?¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for the inappropriate atmosphere, Xiang Nan and MO Ye would have laughed out loud!


    Xiang Nan hadn¡¯t seen MO Qian for a long time and felt that his brother Qian seemed to have changed a lot today. It was also the first time he had seen such an enigmatic and choking MO Qian! He felt a sense of familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere.


    Xiang Nan frowned in confusion. He raised his hand and clenched his fist, trying to hide his uncontrollable smile.


    If Zhuang Xian had been present then, Xiang Nan would probably realize that his brother Qian¡¯s current anger and murderous intent were a living replica of Zhuang Xian.


    However, it was his brother Qian who said these words. The lethality was doubled!


    If others wanted to pretend to be rich men in front of a Police Chief, they would have to do a lot of psychological preparation and homework in advance. However, it was the real truth in front of MO Qian, and there was no need for any pretense.


    He, MO Qian, was rich, and he was wealthy beyond Xiao Ting¡¯s imagination!


    The infuriating MO Qian did not even turn to look at Xiao Ting¡¯s ashen face after he finished speaking.


    As he listened to the broadcast from the host downstairs, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted into a smile. As long as MO Qian wanted someone or something other than Zhuang Xian, there was nothing he could not get!


    Xiao Ting¡¯s face was ashen as he sat on the chair. He grabbed the chair¡¯s handle as if to crush it into pieces.


    MO Qian was indeed bright, and his methods were clean and efficient.


    MO Qian did not want to be entangled with him any longer, so he quickly settled the victory. He knew the estimated value of his assets. Although he seemed to have given a random price, it was to seal off his ambition to continue bidding.


    At this moment, Xiao Ting also realized that he had underestimated MO Qian. Today, he had walked to death on MO Qian¡¯s path. If he wanted to control this young man, money and power alone were insufficient.


    As he listened to the host downstairs, who was happily reporting the second bid of 10 million, MO Xi looked at Xiao Ting and asked respectfully, ¡°Bureau


    Chief Xiao, are you still not going to call? The third knock is about to begin!¡±


    Xiao Ting¡¯s face was gloomy, and he looked depressed. He knew that the first plan he had made had failed.


    After forcefully suppressing the frustration and frustration in his heart, he pretended to be generous and replied, ¡°We said we¡¯d rely on our abilities. I admit defeat now! President MO is indeed rich and generous. Naturally, he would not care about such a small amount of money. A mere 10 million Yuan is nothing to President MO! I¡¯ll have to congratulate President MO for getting his wish!¡±


    ¡°Why do Director Xiao¡¯s words sound so sour to me? This is what you meant by ¡®We¡¯ll rely on our abilities¡¯?¡± MO Ye stroked the long hair on her shoulder and said with a smile.


    Even though MO Qian, the person involved, did not say anything, MO Ye was very unhappy.


    Xiao Ting¡¯s true purpose for wanting the ghost hand Lotus was no longer necessary.


    The important thing was that everyone in the venue could see that Xiao Ting¡¯s actions tonight were deliberately against MO Qian!


    Xiao Ting was taking advantage of his status as an elder to make things difficult for MO Qian deliberately..

 Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Chapter 497. Snagged

    Chapter 497: Chapter 497. Snagged


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Naturally, MO Qian disdained seeing Xiao Ting as an opponent. In his eyes, Xiao Ting was just a clown who wanted to attract his attention with an unknown purpose.


    As for Xiao Ting¡¯s real purpose, MO Qian didn¡¯t want to know because he hated this self-conceited person who thought he could use some small tricks to control others! To put it simply, he was a very self-righteous person.


    MO Ye had guessed MO Qian¡¯s thoughts, but unlike him, MO Ye didn¡¯t like the feeling of being secretly disadvantaged. She had always been clear about her grudges and sought revenge!


    Although the MO family was not short of money, it did not mean they were willing to be a spendthrift!


    Xiao Ting had to give her an explanation, or else today¡¯s matter wouldn¡¯t end!


    ¡°Our guest No. 1 has bid 10 million for the rare ghost hand Lotus! Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡±


    ¡°10 million going thrice! The bidding was a success! Let¡¯s give our first guest a round of applause for successfully winning the most precious item in this auction with a bid of 10 million!¡±


    Hearing the excited voice of the host downstairs and the thunderous applause, Zheng Kai¡¯s eyes widened, and he looked at MO Qian.


    He didn¡¯t expect MO Qian to use such a high price to buy this medicinal herb.


    Although the ghost hand Lotus was extremely rare, it was unnecessary. Moreover, their Research Institute had previously invited professional experts to estimate the value. The experts said that the highest bidding price of the ghost hand Lotus in this auction would not exceed 8 million.


    This was only possible in an auction with a professional collector.


    To Zheng Kai¡¯s surprise, the collectors on the field had yet to show their strength, and MO Qian had already taken them down.


    MO Qian¡¯s determined and clean bidding style was very cool in their eyes!


    However, many people shook their heads, thinking the ghost hand Lotus was not worth such a high price. The medicinal herb alone was not enough to fully utilize the ghost hand Lotus¡¯s potential. MO Qian also needed a world-class pharmacist!


    However, to find such an influential pharmacist, the degree of difficulty was no less than finding the ghost hand Lotus. MO Qian had found himself a big problem.


    He had a rare treasure in his hands but didn¡¯t have the key to open it. Wasn¡¯t this a deplorable thing?


    If MO Qian, sitting on the second floor, could read these people¡¯s minds, he would probably laugh disdainfully and then reply indifferently, ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry about this!¡±


    After all, the person in charge of treating his leg injury was the famous old Valley Master of Saint Valley Medicine, Yan Zhou. She was the only female disciple and the respected green-robed saintess of the alchemy world!


    Of course, there was no need to inform outsiders about these things. MO Qian did not intend to explain too much to the people around him, including his cousin, MO Ye, and the Zhuang family.


    MO Qian had already gotten everything he wanted and seemed to be in a good mood. He said to MO Ye in a gentle voice, ¡°That¡¯s enough, cousin. We don¡¯t have to waste time on these things.¡±


    He looked at the time and continued, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. I won¡¯t be joining the auction later. I¡¯ll take my leave first. Goodbye!¡±


    As soon as MO Qian finished speaking, MO Xi was about to push MO Qian out. MO Ye didn¡¯t understand what he meant and frowned.


    Seeing this, Zhuang Bai stood up, but when he saw Zhuang Ming still standing there, he fell silent and did not move.


    The atmosphere at the scene became a little strange for a moment, MO Ye looked at MO Qian¡¯s back as he left and stood up.


    She looked sideways at Zhuang Ming and nodded slightly to bid him farewell. Then, she glanced at Xiao Ting with an unreadable expression before she followed MO Qian.


    When she passed Zhuang Bai, she smiled at him. Zhuang Bai smiled and nodded in response, but he said nothing.


    Xiang Nan looked at the situation in front of him in confusion. He hurriedly got up and left with MO Ye..

 Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Chapter 498. MO Qjan’s Departure

    Chapter 498: Chapter 498. MO Qjan¡¯s Departure


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    In the face of MO Qian¡¯s sudden departure, the one with the weirdest expression was Xiao Ting!


    He grabbed the armrest of his chair and took a deep breath. He stopped himself from getting up and chasing after him.


    A few important people left the private room at once. Zheng Kai and Wan Jun quickly caught up with them. They were worried that today¡¯s incident would make Mr. MO unhappy!


    After all, it was Zheng Kai who had arranged for Xiao Ting, this ill-intentioned person, to be invited to the private room on the second floor.


    Now, not only them but even Mr. Zhuang Ming seemed to have been deceived by this Director Xiao!


    If it weren¡¯t for Zhuang Ming¡¯s presence, Zheng Kai wouldn¡¯t have brought Xiao Ting up to share a private room with Mr. Mo. He had done something wrong today.


    As MO Ye had thought, everyone in the private room thought that Xiao Ting was up to no good today!


    He looked away from MO Qian and turned to Xiao Ting with a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that Director Xiao would be such a person!


    Today¡¯s incident was my own stupid and unlucky mistake. Director Xiao is a friend that I, Zhuang Ming, am not worthy of! In the future, it¡¯s better for us to mind our own business.¡± Zhuang Ming said as he stood up and buttoned his suit.


    Although he still had a smile, the look in his eyes had turned entirely cold.


    Xiao Ting saw that Zhuang Ming was about to leave, so he stood up. He sighed deeply and explained in a gentle voice, ¡®What happened today was indeed my fault, but I had no choice! When I met you at the police station just now, I thought it was a coincidence, but things here wait for no one! I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll have another chance to be so close to MO Qian in the future if I miss today. I


    know you¡¯re on good terms with MO Qian, so I dragged you here. I didn¡¯t mean to use you; I apologize to you first!¡±


    After hearing Xiao Ting¡¯s explanation, Zhuang Ming smiled indifferently and replied, ¡°Director Xiao, don¡¯t you think your reason is a little far-fetched? You¡¯re the chief of the police station; how could you not have a chance to get close to MO Qian? Do you think I¡¯ll believe your excuse? I, Zhuang Ming, am not an idiot!¡±


    Xiao Ting¡¯s reasoning was too far-fetched. Zhuang Ming did not believe it. However, after thinking back carefully, he could not find any connection between MO Qian and Xiao Ting. They should not have had any interactions at all !


    Then Xiao Ting¡¯s deliberate embarrassment to MO Qian today seemed intentional and inexplicable!


    With these doubts in mind, Zhuang Ming slowly furrowed his brow. He looked at Xiao Ting¡¯s ashamed and apologetic face and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care what your real purpose in getting close to MO Qian is, but you shouldn¡¯t have used me! I thought that you were an honest and sincere person, that¡¯s why I wanted to come with you. In the end, this is how you treat me?¡±


    As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ting. He sharply noticed that Xiao Ting¡¯s expression was not right. After thinking for a while, he continued, ¡°You just said you have no other way! What is there that you couldn¡¯t do? Are you looking for trouble with MO Qian, or are you looking for MO Qian¡¯s help?¡±


    Zhuang Ming was a brilliant person. His probing question had directly broken Xiao Ting¡¯s psychological defense.


    Xiao Ting¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhuang Ming was slightly stunned.


    Xiao Ting seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and explained, ¡°You¡¯re right; I have a big project that I need MO Qian¡¯s help with! No, I should be asking MO Qian for help now. Only MO Qian can take on this project in the entire City of H!


    The reason why I came to the auction to stop MO Qian was also because of this matter. If you were here, the success rate would be higher, but I didn¡¯t expect so many people to be here! I was too anxious, so I was a little confused! I could grab hold of MO Qian¡¯s ¡®Weak spot¡¯ first and then take advantage of the situation to ask MO Qian for help..¡±

 Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: Chapter 499. Xiao Ting’s Purpose

    Chapter 499: Chapter 499. Xiao Ting¡¯s Purpose


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Hang was confused by Xiao Ting¡¯s explanation. Confused, he asked, ¡°Since you want MO Qian¡¯s help, why did you make things difficult for him just now? It¡¯s already very generous of him not to bear a grudge against you for bidding with such malicious intent. Do you think MO Qian will still agree to your request if you do this? Aren¡¯t you messing around? Director Xiao, what are you thinking?¡±


    Zhuang Hang wasn¡¯t the only one who was confused. Even Zhuang Bai, who had been silent the entire time, was also confused.


    He looked at Bureau Chief Xiao curiously and thought for a while before asking, ¡°Director Xiao, you don¡¯t think that you¡¯ll have a chance to talk to MO Qian in detail just because you got the ghost hand Lotus, do you? Or do you think that after you bid for this ghost hand Lotus, you can grasp MO Qian¡¯s


    ¡®weak spot¡¯ and make him obediently agree to your so-called project request?¡±


    Looking at Xiao Ting¡¯s slightly red face, Zhuang Bai knew he was right. He smiled helplessly and continued, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether you can compete with MO Qian regarding financial resources as the Bureau chief or whether your words and actions just now were appropriate. Just from your attitude of asking for help, you are already wrong!


    MO Qian is just a businessman, not a dangerous or ferocious beast. Do you have to be so wary of him? Can¡¯t you talk to him face to face if there¡¯s anything?


    You¡¯re asking my father to keep you company and using all sorts of little tricks. I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re looking for a business partner or trying to make enemies. Please don¡¯t blame me for speaking unpleasantly as a junior. It¡¯s just that your actions tonight were a little too much! You¡¯re making a straightforward matter so complicated. You shouldn¡¯t have done that!¡±


    Xiao Ting understood the reasoning behind the Zhuang family¡¯s words. However, the collaboration he would discuss with MO Qian was a serious matter!


    There were a lot of twists and turns in the process, and the situation was complicated and ever-changing. Xiao Ting received an order from his superiors that to safely advance this project, the person in charge of this major project had to escort it!


    Of course, before things were confirmed entirely, he still needed to keep it a secret from the outside world!


    Xiao Ting had been worried about this matter for the past few days. He didn¡¯t want to give MO Qian too many chances to decline, so he had no choice but to do this! He was so anxious that he had no other choice.


    He naturally understood that Zhuang Bai was right, but he had been too anxious, so he had made such a mistake!


    To Xiao Ting, this was the worst possible situation. Not only did his plan not succeed, but he also offended MO Qian completely. Things had come to a standstill, and Xiao Ting had a headache.


    Zhuang Ming had been listening to his two sons¡¯ conversation in silence. The changes in Xiao Ting¡¯s expression did not escape Zhuang Ming¡¯s eyes.


    He pondered for a long time and seemed to have thought of something. He said in a low voice, ¡°The important project that Director Xiao is talking about, could it be about City H¡¯s investment in R nation? Had the higher-ups already made an announcement? Which company would be the target in country R this time? Do we know it?¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. He excitedly asked, ¡°Director Xiao has decided to let the MO Corporation participate, so this project must be enormous!


    Could the target company in country R be the world-famous Doug Corporation? Only one Doug in Japan can rival the MO Corporation!¡± Xiao Ting didn¡¯t expect Zhuang Ming¡¯s eyes and ears to be so sharp!


    He looked at Zhuang Ming¡¯s expression and had a vague guess in his heart. Zhuang Ming didn¡¯t look like he had known about it in advance. Instead, he seemed to have just guessed it! Looking at it this way, Zhuang Ming¡¯s wisdom was close to a demon¡¯s.


    For something that still needed to be kept top-secret, Zhuang Ming could guess most of the details based on such a minor detail.. Zhuang Ming must be a brilliant person!

 Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: Chapter 500. Chase Out

    Chapter 500: Chapter 500. Chase Out


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Xiao Ting was secretly shocked. The more he thought about it, the more he felt stupid enough to use Zhuang Ming.


    In the end, Xiao Ting had not completed what he wanted to do, and because of this, there was a rift between him and Zhuang Ming. It was a significant loss! Like what Zhuang Ming had said earlier, Xiao Ting only gave him face because he thought Zhuang Ming was worth befriending.


    Xiao Ting sighed dejectedly. Looking at Zhuang Ming¡¯s keen eyes, he nodded and quickly thought of a way.


    After a long while, he raised his hand to button his suit again and said in a deep voice, ¡°No! This project is too important, and it¡¯s urgent and rushed. I can¡¯t miss MO Qian like this; I must explain it to him! If he wants me to apologize or compensate him, I¡¯ll accept it, but he has to agree to sign a cooperation agreement with the government. In City H, only the MO Corporation has the strength to take on such a big project!¡±


    Xiao Ting mumbled to himself as he started to run downstairs.


    Xiao Ting, who was so focused on catching up to MO Qian, naturally did not notice Zhuang Ming¡¯s constantly changing expression!


    Zhuang Ming had a brilliant idea in his mind. He patted his two sons beside him and said anxiously, ¡°Go! Let¡¯s hurry up and catch up. I feel that today¡¯s matter isn¡¯t as simple as it seems. Ming En can¡¯t miss such a good opportunity! ¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he looked at Xiao Ting¡¯s back and quickly walked over.


    Although Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang were still a little confused, they picked up the clothes on the chair and followed Zhuang Ming out. MO Qian and his group, who had retreated, were standing at the gate of the West Sea Manor, waiting for the doorman to drive the car over.


    Xiang Nan was the most confused one in the scene just now.


    He stood beside MO Ye and lowered his eyes to look at MO Qian in the wheelchair. He asked in confusion, ¡°Brother Qian, why are we in such a hurry to leave? It¡¯s not like we¡¯re the ones who should be in the wrong and feel guilty! Who the hell is Bureau Chief Xiao? Does he want to compete with you in terms of money? He must be out of his mind, right?¡±


    As he spoke, he scratched his head and asked, ¡°But brother Qian, haven¡¯t you always been on good terms with the Zhuang family? Mr. Zhuang had come with Xiao Ting just now. The Zhuang family wouldn¡¯t be standing on Xiao Ting¡¯s side, would they? Did Sister Xian know about this? But this doesn¡¯t seem right. When Xiao Ting was bidding against you, Mr. Zhuang also spoke up for you, brother Qian! What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Hearing Xiang Nan¡¯s question, MO Ye chuckled. She patted Xiang Nan¡¯s head and chuckled, ¡°Who said the Zhuang family and Xiao Ting are together? Don¡¯t spout nonsense if you don¡¯t know! I¡¯ll beat you up!¡±


    Xiang Nan subconsciously shrank his neck, but MO Ye didn¡¯t beat him.


    Zheng Kai glanced at MO Ye, then turned to MO Qian, sitting in a wheelchair. He said with some self-blame, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Mo. I didn¡¯t know that Xiao Ting had such thoughts. He came here with President Zhuang just now. I thought he was a friend, not an enemy, so I brought him there without asking your opinion. I¡¯m sorry for the situation!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to MO Qian, his apology full of sincerity.


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian gently turned the ring on his hand.


    MO Qian didn¡¯t care about this matter.


    MO Qian did not care about Xiao Ting¡¯s underhanded methods, but he felt a little uneasy after hearing Zheng¡¯s words.


    He looked at Zheng Kai carefully and said, ¡°Xiao Ting is Xiao Ting, and Uncle Zhuang is Uncle Zhuang. They¡¯re not together. Before we know what happened, it¡¯s better not to define things and talk about them randomly.¡±


    As MO Qian said this, he stopped touching the ring on his finger and looked back. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry! I will forgive you for what happened tonight. Just treat it as being barked by a dog for no reason. The most important thing for you to do now is to send the item I just took to my house.. I don¡¯t want to delay it until tomorrow, understand?¡±

 Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: Chapter 501. Making up For The Difference

    Chapter 501: Chapter 501. Making up For The Difference


    When Zheng Kai and Wan Jun heard this, they nodded respectfully, indicating they understood.


    ¡°I understand, Mr. Zhuang; I know what to do!¡± Zheng Kai said.


    As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and continued with a chuckle, ¡°If we had known earlier that Mr. Zhuang was also looking for the ghost hand Lotus, I would have left it to you directly, and you wouldn¡¯t have to go through so much trouble to bid for it!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve asked a professional to estimate the value of the ghost hand Lotus, and the highest bid for it should be 8 million. I will return the portion that Xiao Ting bid maliciously in my name to you; please don¡¯t refuse! You¡¯ve already helped our research Institute a lot. This time, we won¡¯t let you suffer such a


    loss.¡±


    MO Qian chuckled when he heard this. He looked up at the car that had stopped before him, then turned his head to look at Zheng Kai and replied with a faint smile, ¡°Oh? This was a deal that had been bought and sold, and could you make up for the difference in price after the loss? Is Dr. Zheng so ¡®benevolent¡¯ in doing business?¡±


    Wan Jun felt he didn¡¯t quite understand what Mr. MO meant by ¡®benevolence,¡¯ but Zheng Kai did. He was about to say something, but MO Qian didn¡¯t give him a chance.


    ¡°How can I go back on my word when it¡¯s a deal that both of us are willing to do? If some nosy people found out about this, would doctor Zheng still be able to continue his business at the auction today? Or do you think that I, MO Qian, am a person who doesn¡¯t keep my word?¡±


    Zheng Kai was shocked and quickly waved his hand to show he didn¡¯t mean it that way. ¡°I don¡¯t mean it that way. Mr. MO, please don¡¯t misunderstand; I¡­.¡±


    MO Xi stood in the parking lot under the corridor and had already reached out to open the car door.


    He turned around. MO Ye had also received MO Qian¡¯s signal and was about to push MO Qian into the car when MO Qian interrupted Zheng Kai¡¯s explanation, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s end this here! You shouldn¡¯t be done with your matters at the conference, so you should hurry back. I don¡¯t need you to send me off. I¡¯ll be recuperating tomorrow afternoon, so don¡¯t be late with doctor Wan!¡±


    Looking at MO Qian¡¯s unusually calm expression, Zheng Kai knew that Mr. MO had already decided. He silently swallowed the words he just wanted to say and bowed respectfully. ¡°Yes, Mr. MO,¡±


    After MO Qian got in the car, Xiang Nan pursed his lips and said, ¡°I wanted to play with you today, but I didn¡¯t expect such a terrible thing to happen! Forget it; I¡¯ll come over to drink with you when I have an appointment with Si Rong.¡±


    MO Qian nodded gently and replied in a gentle voice, ¡°It¡¯s okay to have dinner with me, but don¡¯t drink with me.¡±


    ¡°Why?¡± Xiang Nan subconsciously asked.


    Xiang Nan frowned and asked in confusion, ¡°Which doctor? Why not? What have you been busy with recently? I¡¯ve been to your company a few times before but didn¡¯t see you each time. I asked your assistant, and he said he didn¡¯t know! Brother Qian, what have you been busy with recently? If there¡¯s a good project, please take me along. I¡¯m being scolded to death by my dad at home! He says daily that I¡¯m not doing my job properly; isn¡¯t that bullshit! I haven¡¯t reported to the racing Club in a long time; my precious car should be covered in dust!¡±


    Listening to Xiang Nan¡¯s endless words, MO Qian shook his head and laughed. He glanced at Xiang Nan¡¯s posture of clinging to the window and not letting go. MO Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and teased, ¡°It¡¯s only been half a month; there¡¯s no need to act like we¡¯re separated by life and death, right? Are you done? Should I get in the car and continue what I¡¯m not done with? You¡¯re leaning on the car door and talking; what kind of person are you!¡±


    The second after MO Qian¡¯s words, Xiang Nan seemed to have finally heard what he wanted to hear. He quickly climbed into the car from the other side.


    He closed the door and turned to look at his driver, still standing at the side with a blank face. He waved his hand and said, ¡°You can go back first! You don¡¯t have to pick me up tonight. I will stay at my brother Qian¡¯s house for the night.. You can pick me up tomorrow to go to work! Also, remember to keep your mouth shut, and don¡¯t let my dad know! Go!¡±

 Chapter 502 - Chapter 502: Chapter 502. I Can ‘t Get Away This Time

    Chapter 502: Chapter 502. I Can ¡®t Get Away This Time


    As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at MO Qian with bright eyes. He smiled honestly.


    MO Qian was speechless.


    MO Ye, stunned by Xiang Nan¡¯s smooth movements, was also speechless.


    ¡°It¡¯s getting late; let¡¯s go, brother Qian! I also have some things to ask you, so I¡¯ll stay at your place for the night.¡± Xiang Nan said.


    MO Qian was speechless and couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He nodded slightly to MO Xi in the front passenger seat, indicating they could start driving. Then he told


    Xiang Nan, ¡°I have to give it to you ¡­¡±


    ¡°Boss MO! Please wait a moment, President MO!¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s words were interrupted by this urgent shout. MO Qian turned his head and looked at the window that was not completely closed.


    Xiao Ting seemed to have run all the way here, gasping for air. When he saw MO Qian looking at him, his expression brightened. He looked at MO Qian and roared, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Boss mo! Can you give me five minutes? I have a crucial matter to discuss with you!¡±


    Zheng Kai looked at Xiao Ting, who was in front of him, and his face was already displeased. He said, ¡°Director Xiao, please show some respect! Although you have a high position and authority, you can¡¯t bully people like this! Are you trying to make a big deal out of this by pestering Mr. MO repeatedly? Our research Institute didn¡¯t organize this auction to cause you trouble with Mr. MO!¡±


    Xiao Ting looked straight at MO Qian. He didn¡¯t care about Zheng Kai¡¯s warning.


    He eased his breath and said without turning his head, ¡°What I¡¯m about to say has nothing to do with the auction! I¡¯m looking for President MO to discuss a huge project! I wonder if President MO has the time and interest to do so?¡±


    Xiao Ting forced himself to suppress the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. He looked at MO Qian expectantly as if he feared that MO Qian would turn around and leave.


    Zhuang Ming only rushed to the door after Xiao Ting had finished speaking.


    He observed the situation in front of him. After a few seconds of silence, he chuckled and looked at MO Qian, ¡°MO Qian, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Last time, you referred Ming En Corporation to a company in country R looking for a female Go player to endorse their company. I still wanted to confirm it with you! What do you think of our Zhuang Xian?¡±


    Listening to Zhuang Ming¡¯s seemingly random words, MO Qian¡¯s expression changed slightly, and his heart began to move.


    He pondered for a long while before he smiled and replied, ¡°That¡¯s great. Let¡¯s go over and talk! I¡¯ll ask my assistant to book a private room at Yimen


    Teahouse.


    Zhuang Ming nodded and smiled, ¡°Then you go first; we¡¯ll follow you immediately.¡±


    In a private room on the second floor of the tea house.


    MO Ye sat lazily beside Xiang Nan. He looked up and glanced at Zhuang Ming and Xiao Ting sitting opposite him. He was speechless, but he was also curious.


    She pushed away the teacup in front of her and pouted her red lips, her eyes full of disdain.


    Tonight, they had a stomach full of tea. If they drank any more, they would not be able to sleep tonight.


    MO Ye complained about this in her heart, her expression not looking good.


    MO Ye didn¡¯t notice that Zhuang Bai, sitting beside Zhuang Ming, had taken in all her expressions and actions.


    Zhuang Bai beckoned the waiter over with his finger. After a few words, the waiter left the private room.


    MO Qian didn¡¯t touch the teacup in front of him either. He just turned the ring on his finger gently and slowly. The expression on his face was very relaxed, and no one knew what he was thinking.


    Xiao Ting was very grateful for Zhuang Ming¡¯s timely help. He had found an excuse to make MO Qian stay, giving him this precious opportunity to talk.


    Xiao Ting took a deep breath and turned to signal his assistant to bring the documents over.


    He reached out to take the document and personally handed it to MO Qian. He said gently, ¡°I was muddle-headed. I did some stupid things.. Please don¡¯t take it to heart, President MO! I apologize to you; I¡¯m sorry!¡±

    He lowered his head slightly as he spoke, looking very sincere.


    MO Qian didn¡¯t look at what Xiao Ting had handed over. He smiled gently and replied, ¡°What are you talking about, Director Xiao? We said we¡¯d do it based on our abilities, so there¡¯s no problem with an apology. The reason why I stayed was to talk to my uncle Zhuang. You¡¯re making things difficult by following me without any reason!¡±


    MO Qian wasn¡¯t angry about what had just happened, but that didn¡¯t mean he was willing to waste his breath on Xiao Ting!


    If it wasn¡¯t for Zhuang Ming¡¯s sake and the name that Zhuang Ming had mentioned, MO Qian wouldn¡¯t have bothered to look at Xiao Ting¡¯s remorseful expression and attitude.


    In MO Qian¡¯s eyes, Xiao Ting was an abnormal person. There was no need to waste time on him!


    This was Zhuang Ming¡¯s first time seeing such an unreasonable side of MO Qian.


    During Ming En Group¡¯s cooperation with the MO Corporation, MO Qian had never been so cold and distant to him. MO Qian had always seemed to be a graceful, polite, and perfect person.


    In the current situation, Zhuang Ming couldn¡¯t figure out why this phenomenon occurred. He would have to wait until later, when MO Qian revealed his feelings for Zhuang Xian to everyone for the first time, before he could react in an utterly enlightened manner!


    This was all premeditated! It turned out that MO Qian had this intention all along. That was why he gave the Zhuang family special treatment and humility.


    Of course, these were all things to be discussed later and not mentioned now.


    Xiao Ting was caught off guard by MO Qian¡¯s cold and indifferent attitude and subconsciously looked at Zhuang Ming.


    Zhuang Ming looked at MO Qian and chuckled. He continued the topic they had discussed at the entrance of the West Sea Manor, ¡°I should¡¯ve told you about this earlier, but we¡¯ve been swamped recently. After a while, it was delayed! I¡¯ve already spoken to Mr. Song Shi. When Xian¡¯er returns from her military training, I¡¯ll take her to the audition.¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian nodded his head lightly and replied in a gentle voice, ¡°Song Shi company¡¯s matter is urgent; thank you for your concern, uncle Zhuang! But did Zhuang Xian agree to this endorsement deal herself?¡±


    Zhuang Ming chuckled, picked up the teacup before him, and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll only inform Mr. Song Shi after she agrees. Don¡¯t worry; I don¡¯t think anyone is more suitable for this job than Zhuang Xian! She plays Go extremely well and is at a level where she can directly participate in our country¡¯s Go qualifiers. Naturally, no one can pick on her image either. Looking at all the celebrities in the country, I haven¡¯t found anyone prettier than her!¡±


    Father Zhuang¡¯s face was filled with pride and honor.


    Although they didn¡¯t quite understand the project, MO Ye and Xiang Nan nodded in agreement. They both agreed with Zhuang Ming. Putting aside the fact that Zhuang Xian¡¯s chess skills were genuinely excellent, her beauty was indeed rare in the world!


    ¡°Does Zhuang Xian want to develop her career in the film and television industry? She¡¯s going to be a star?¡± MO Ye asked curiously.


    Hearing MO Ye¡¯s question, Zhuang Ming shook his head. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Xian¡¯er is not the kind of person who likes to show her face in public!


    When she changed her major, she also mentioned that she liked acting and wanted to study this major! It doesn¡¯t seem accurate to say she wants to be a star!¡± Zhuang Ming said as he sized up Xiao Ting from the corner of his eye.


    They had ignored bureau chief Xiao. He still looked anxious but didn¡¯t interrupt Zhuang Ming, MO Qian, and MO Ye. He seemed to have forced himself to calm down and wait patiently for an opportunity.


    ¡°Uncle Zhuang, I understand now that you¡¯ve explained it this way.. I told you Zhuang Xian isn¡¯t that kind of person! Being a celebrity and being an actor are two completely different professions!¡± MO Ye arched her brows and chuckled, ¡°I also have a few small celebrity packaging companies under me, and there are a lot of connections in this! However, if Zhuang Xian needs my help in the future, you can just let me know!¡±

    Chapter 504: Chapter 504. There¡¯s no Harm in Saying it


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Bai glanced at MO Ye, a faint smile on his face.


    Xiang Nan¡¯s eyes had been fixed on his brother Qian the whole time. Seeing MO Qian¡¯s unreadable expression, but his eyes had become unusually gentle, he felt he understood something. ¡°If you ask me, sister MO Ye, you don¡¯t have the right to be anxious about this! Our sister Xian already has a big star third brother doing very well in the entertainment industry. As long as Zhuang Huai is around, I¡¯ll see who dares to bully sister Xian! And .


    As Xiang Nan spoke, he gave MO Qian a meaningful look. ¡°Speaking of the biggest entertainment company in the country, isn¡¯t it under our brother Qian?


    If sister Xian wanted to be a big star, all she had to do was move her mouth. As long as my big brother Qian is here, nothing will go wrong! ¡±


    After listening to their idle conversation, Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai looked at each other. He saw the same worry in Zhuang Bai¡¯s eyes as he did. It was as if it had suddenly appeared! This unhappiness and worry came without reason.


    Zhuang Hang felt that his good sister seemed to have been targeted by some strange person!


    Looking at the odd expressions on the Zhuang brothers ¡®faces, MO Qian coughed lightly and gave Xiang Nan a sidelong glance. The meaning in his eyes was clear: he wanted Xiang Nan to shut up.


    Xiang Nan returned to his senses and sensibly closed his mouth without saying anything more.


    Zhuang Ming felt something was wrong with this topic, but he couldn¡¯t figure it out. He shook his head and tried to drive these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind!


    He didn¡¯t even know how often he had received Xiao Ting¡¯s pleading eyes.


    After he cleared his throat, Zhuang Ming said, ¡°Speaking of which, Mr. Song Shi¡¯s company is under the Doug Financial Group in country R, right? MO Qian, you¡¯re quite familiar with this, Mr. Song Shi. Have you tried to probe him before? Is Doug Group planning to expand their business to City H?¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s brows slowly furrowed as he listened to Zhuang Ming¡¯s words.


    He looked up at Zhuang Ming and then at Xiao Ting. After a while, he asked, ¡°Uncle Zhuang, what do you want to ask? There¡¯s no harm asking!¡±


    It was no secret that Song Shi belonged to the Doug family in country R. The Doug family sent Song Shi to City H to let him be the vanguard to explore the market in City H.


    Anyone with a brain would understand after thinking about it carefully!


    It was impossible for Zhuang Ming not to understand these things, so he must have been implying something. Something that could make Zhuang Ming stammer and go around in circles must not be simple.


    MO Qian thought about this in his heart. Out of respect for Zhuang Ming as a senior, he chose to ask directly instead of continuing to beat around the bush.


    Zhuang Ming took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Ting. He explained, ¡°The Doug family has accepted the government¡¯s big project and has already confirmed the initial cooperation plan with the higher-ups. In addition, before this project began, they needed a firm partner, so the higher-ups set their eyes on the MO Corporation! The reason why Bureau chief Xiao came to stop you today is also because of this big matter!¡±


    ¡°Because this project is very important and time is tight, we have to decide on a


    company to cooperate with before the representatives of the Doug Financial Group come! I know that I was stupid in the previous matter. I shouldn¡¯t have been so eager for quick success through unscrupulous means. I was wrong!


    President MO, please be magnanimous and forgive us. Please give us a chance! I¡¯m really at my wit¡¯s end!¡±


    With Zhuang Ming¡¯s foreshadowing and opening, the rest of the things became relatively simple.


    Xiao Ting stood up, looked at MO Qian, and solemnly bowed to him.


    Xiao Ting¡¯s action shocked the assistant standing behind him.


    Although everyone in City H knew of the legendary MO Qian, it was inappropriate for a Police Chief to bow down and beg him like this!

    After all, Xiao Ting represented the face of the entire government!


    MO Ye quietly observed her brother¡¯s expression. She realized the more important the matter was, the calmer MO Qian would be. This was a natural and powerful leadership ability. No ordinary people could compare to MO Qian¡¯s aura, not even her.


    MO Ye sighed slightly in her heart. She had to admit that MO Qian was highly talented. This was a level of intelligence that people like her might not be able to learn even if they studied for a lifetime.


    If she was the one facing this matter now, she might have agreed without Xiao Ting¡¯s explanation!


    This was not a small project. If it could be completed well, it would be a great blessing for the people of City H! This was a good thing that could develop the MO Corporation and accumulate good deeds!


    In MO Qian¡¯s few minutes of silence, not only was Xiao Ting¡¯s heart in his throat, but even Zhuang Ming was inexplicably nervous.


    He knew that MO Qian would accept such a project. However, he could not figure out why mo Qian was so conflicted. Was there a critical point in this matter that he had not considered?


    The people in the teahouse¡¯s private room did not wait for MO Qian to speak first. Instead, they waited for the teahouse¡¯s service staff to serve exquisite refreshments.


    MO Ye looked at the delicate desserts before her and felt her stomach empty. She was a little hungry.


    They had eaten dinner too early, and they were still outside at this time. Accompanying MO Qian to deal with things and eating easily digestible refreshments was a good choice!


    MO Ye looked up at Zhuang Bai, who was sitting opposite her, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, as expected of the man she had fancied to. His thoughtfulness was not bad.


    Zhuang Bai noticed MO Ye¡¯s scrutinizing eyes. He raised his eyes slightly and smiled at her.


    With the interruption from the service staff, the tense atmosphere at the scene relaxed a little.


    MO Qian continued to spin the ring in his hand. After the waiter left and closed the door, he chuckled and said, ¡°The higher-ups want to bring Doug Group into City H? Whose decision is this? Is it Tian Zhen? Or Fang Dong?¡±


    Hearing MO Qian mention these two important figures, Xiao Ting¡¯s eyes widened in shock. His mouth was slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out after mulling it over for a long time.


    ¡°The Doug Corporation used to be called the Doug clubhouse! Before Tian Zhen introduced it, did he check the history of this company?¡± Not only did MO Qian directly call out Mayor Tian¡¯s name, but he had even begun to question the decisions of these government officials.


    Xiang Nan sat beside MO Ye, looking at his brother Qian in shock with a mouthful of tea and snacks.


    ¡°The largest underground organization in country R 30 years ago has turned around and become the largest Financial group in country R today. When you were making these decisions, did you think about the people of City H? Of course, I¡¯m not questioning your decision. I¡¯m just speaking my doubts out of the mentality of a common person!¡±


    MO Qian asked Xiao Ting with a smile, but his eyes showed no trace of a smile.


    Xiao Ting did not expect MO Qian¡¯s thinking to be so sharp and quick. He even managed to take the home-court position for this conversation!


    In these few minutes, Xiao Ting had turned from the active to the passive side that MO Qian was interrogating.


    He gulped and explained, ¡°Regarding the issues, you have been thinking about, Boss MO, our higher-ups have carefully observed and repeatedly considered them! The Doug club is indeed the predecessor of the Doug Financial Group, but that was 30 years ago. The territory of R nation is no longer under the control of these underworld organizations, so you can rest assured about Doug¡¯s position now!¡±


    As Xiao Ting spoke, he gestured for MO Qian to look at the documents on the table..

 Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: Chapter 506. Let go

    Chapter 506: Chapter 506. Let go


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian stopped what he was doing. He looked up at Xiao Ting and asked in a low voice, ¡°Chase? How much of a rush could it be? Food has to be eaten bite by bite, and things naturally have to be completed step by step. What¡¯s the use of being anxious? It¡¯s already so late. How do you want me to look at this letter of intent? What time will your people from the recruitment department arrive tomorrow? We¡¯ll talk about it at the company! Let¡¯s end this matter here today.¡±


    As MO Qian spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, ¡°Oh, by the way, there¡¯s one more thing I need to tell you, Director Xiao! In the future, if you encounter such a big problem again, please come over openly. I don¡¯t have such a good temper every time.¡±


    Although MO Qian¡¯s tone was impolite, Xiao Ting¡¯s heart was finally relieved.


    He let out a heavy breath, knowing that MO Qian was relenting. He chuckled and replied, ¡°They¡¯ll arrive at City H¡¯s airport at noon tomorrow. I¡¯ll arrange for them to go there. Thank you, President MO!¡±


    MO Qian didn¡¯t say anything more. He smiled and beckoned MO Xi behind him to keep the letter of intent. Then he said, ¡°There¡¯s no trouble, but you should thank my uncle Zhuang. I wouldn¡¯t have bothered to talk to you if he wasn¡¯t here today. Don¡¯t blame me for being rude; you asked for this!¡±


    Xiao Ting wanted to reach out and wipe the sweat off his forehead, but under MO Qian¡¯s sharp gaze, he stopped and didn¡¯t dare to do anything.


    He quickly nodded and replied, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! We must thank Mr. Zhuang for his help today and President MO for your kindness!¡±


    After hearing Xiao Ting¡¯s words of gratitude, Zhuang Ming smiled and stood up. He looked at Xiao Ting with an unfathomable gaze.


    He said, ¡°I just don¡¯t want us to miss an important opportunity to cooperate because of some unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, our time is precious! Since today¡¯s misunderstanding and matter have been resolved, we¡¯re all dismissed!¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s attitude towards Zhuang Ming and Xiao Ting could only be described as heaven and earth apart.


    MO Qian smiled and nodded at Zhuang Ming¡¯s words. His beautiful eyes flashed with some thoughts that were hard to detect.


    He replied gently_ ¡°It¡¯s indeed getting late Ming F.n and T have an important meeting tomorrow. Let¡¯s go, then. See you tomorrow morning!¡±


    Zhuang Ming was taken aback when he heard this because he didn¡¯t remember having any meetings with MO Qian the next day. MO Qian was creating an opportunity for him to go to the MO Corporation and meet the people in charge of investments!


    MO Qian was smart. Without Zhuang Ming¡¯s explanation, he could figure out the details, showing he had a high EQ.


    After Zhuang Ming came back to his senses, he smiled and nodded. ¡°Yes, see you tomorrow! I¡¯ll bring you the desserts that your Aunt Zhuang made.¡±


    MO Qian smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. However, he thought it would be even better if someone else could do it!


    Of course, MO Qian knew that it was impossible. That was why he didn¡¯t dare to think about Zhuang Xian making him such delicious food. He was delighted as long as Zhuang Xian wasn¡¯t angry at him.


    As he thought of what had happened that day, the relaxed and happy emotions in MO Qian¡¯s eyes slowly fell back a little.


    Xiao Ting looked at Zhuang Ming and MO Qian¡¯s intimate and casual interaction. He was glad that he had won over such a good helper today.. If it wasn¡¯t for Zhuang Ming, he might have screwed up!

 Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: Chapter 507. Departure

    Chapter 507: Chapter 507. Departure


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When the Teahouse¡¯s crowd dispersed, Zhuang Hang stared at MO Qian several times, but in the end, he did not ask the question in his heart. Instead, standing behind him, Zhuang Bai raised his hand and patted his shoulder, indicating that it was time for him to get in the car and go home.


    After so many things that had happened that night, Zhuang Bai was also a little tired. Sitting beside Zhuang Ming, he raised his hand and gently pinched the corner of his eye. At this time, his phone suddenly rang with a message notification.


    Zhuang Bai took his phone from his pocket and squinted at the screen. The corners of his mouth immediately curled up into a very light smile, but this smile was full of love and helplessness. ¡°The next time we meet, I want 31 red roses!¡±


    Miss MO was not polite at all!


    Just as Zhuang Bai was chuckling at his phone screen, Zhuang Ming looked over. Just then, another message popped up on the screen.


    ¡°The refreshments are delicious, but the tea is a little lacking in flavor. I¡¯ll bring you better ones another day!¡± MO Ye.


    Zhuang Ming imprinted the contents of these two messages into his mind one after the other. When he looked up at Zhuang Bai again, his eyes shone with a bright light, and a few big words were reflected in his eyes. ¡°Is there something going on between you and MO Ye? ¡±


    Zhuang Bai laughed helplessly. He raised his hand and pressed a few times on the screen before locking it. He looked at Zhuang Ming and said, ¡°Dad, how can you look at other people¡¯s phones? ¡®


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me looking? I wouldn¡¯t have known if I hadn¡¯t seen it. You¡¯ve only been back for a few days and are already so ¡®Close¡¯ to MO Ye! Tell me the truth, when did you get together with MO Ye? If you don¡¯t tell me, I¡¯ll go home and tell your mother. She¡¯ll come and ask you personally!¡±


    Mr. Zhuang Ming looked at his eldest son with a severe face, but his eyes were full of curiosity and joy!


    Earlier that day, he had already noticed something wrong between Zhuang Bai and Mn Ve at the auction and the Teahouse Now that he thought of it _ something seemed to be going on!


    Zhuang Bai raised his hands in surrender and explained in a gentle voice, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you. Dad, can you not tell mom about this first?¡±


    Regarding who had the most say in the Zhuang family, no one would dare to claim to be first if Lin En claimed to be second.


    Zhuang Ming was a 10th-tier wife-slave, so no one in the family hoped that he could be the master of the entire Zhuang family. Zhuang Bai knew this very well, so he directly succumbed to Zhuang Ming¡¯s ¡®Threat¡¯!


    He told them everything that happened in the Blue Eagle Base that day. Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang, who were sitting next to him, were both stunned.


    In the spacious back seat of the car, the father and son trio fell into a strange silence and surprise.


    After hearing his brother¡¯s words, Zhuang Hang¡¯s expression became strange. After thinking for a while, he asked, ¡°So, this is why the MO siblings are so close to you today? MO Ye likes you, and your sister is treating MO Qian¡¯s legs?¡±


    Seeing Zhuang Bai nod, Zhuang Hang seemed to understand. He looked at Zhuang Ming and asked, ¡°Dad! Did our sister mention that she had medical skills? Or have you ever heard Mom mention it?¡±


    Zhuang Ming was still considering the matter between Zhuang Bai and MO Ye. After hearing this, he was slightly stunned. After a long while, he said uncertainly, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Did Xian¡¯er mention it herself? Your mother didn¡¯t tell me about it!¡±


    After searching through all of Zhuang Xian¡¯s memories, Zhuang Ming did not think he had missed any vital information.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t seem to be surprised at all that your sister has medical skills. It¡¯s extraordinary!¡± Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows and said.


    After listening to Zhuang Bai¡¯s recount of the incident that day, Zhuang Hang¡¯s attention was subconsciously focused on the matter between his brother and


    MO Ye. After carefully thinking about it, he realized there was such a big


    ¡®surprise¡¯! Of course, Zhuang Ming was not the only one who felt this way.


    Not only was Zhuang Xian a great cook, but she was also skilled in car racing and chess. Now, she even knew medicine.. This was a little too outrageous!

 Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: Chapter 508. Devote His Body to Her?

    Chapter 508: Chapter 508. Devote His Body to Her?


    However, when Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang thought about it again and realized that the fantastic person was Zhuang Xian, they felt this was normal.


    She was Zhuang Xian, so what if she had more skills and abilities? Wasn¡¯t that something that should be done?


    If Zhuang Xian were here right now, she would probably feel helpless. Her family seemed to have an extraordinarily thick and perfect filter on her. They had already deified her!


    Naturally, MO Qian and MO Ye were unaware of what had happened between the father and sons of the Zhuang family.


    As MO Qian answered Xiang Nan¡¯s question, he looked at MO Ye, chuckling at her phone. He sighed helplessly in his heart. He felt that he and Zhuang Xian¡¯s idea of matchmaking the two of them was a little nosy.


    ¡°I see! Brother Qian, wouldn¡¯t sister Xian be your Savior from now on? Did this mean that the MO family had been trying their best to achieve this for the past few years, and sister Xian had solved it so easily? How did sister Xian know Holy maiden Qingyi? This is too magical!¡±


    As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up. He continued to talk in a surprised tone, ¡°Heavens! Then, brother Qian, how will you repay my sister Xian¡¯s kindness in the future? To repay with your body? It seemed like this was the only way! But you and sister Xian are a good match! That¡¯s not right. Why does it look like you didn¡¯t suffer any losses?¡±


    Although Xiang Nan was a little noisy, the last sentence was what MO Qian thought.


    He thought about it carefully and felt that Xiang Nan was right.


    Zhuang Xian did not gain anything from him, but she had always given him everything. Thinking about this, MO Qian sighed slightly and replied softly, ¡°Yup! I didn¡¯t suffer any losses, but I can¡¯t wait to repay her with my body!¡± MO Qian¡¯s voice was so low that even Xiang Nan, sitting beside him, could not hear him.


    Xiang Nan subconsciously asked, ¡°Brother Qian, what did you say? Your voice was too soft; I didn¡¯t hear you!¡±


    ¡°Nothing. Just shut your mouth and take a break, okay?¡± MO Qian turned his head to look out of the car window and replied indifferently.


    Xiang Nan returned to his senses and noticed MO Qian¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t good, so he tactfully closed his mouth.


    He took out his phone and wanted to share this good news with Si Rong, but he


    gave up after some thought!


    It was almost midnight, and today¡¯s auction had made him sit on his butt until it was flat.


    The following day at 7 am, MO Qian arrived on time at the MO family¡¯s dining table. MO Qian¡¯s grandmother looked at MO Qian, whose eyes were slightly dark, and asked worriedly, ¡®What is this? Did you not rest well last night? I just heard MO Xi say that you sat there until one in the morning last night just to read a project proposal. You¡¯re still working with Zhuang Xian¡¯s rehabilitation plan right now. Do you still want to be scolded?¡±


    As old Madam MO spoke, she glanced at MO Ye beside her and continued, ¡®You can ask MO Ye to help you with the reception of those people this afternoon. Government matters are trivial and complicated; you need to take care of the overall situation. If you need grandma¡¯s help, tell me!¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian stopped stirring the hot congee and nodded in response, ¡°Sure. As long as MO Ye is willing to help, I¡¯m more than happy to do so. ¡±


    Hearing her name, MO Ye raised her eyebrows and responded in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s not a problem to help you for a few days, but how much can you pay me?


    Boss MO!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve been freeloading here for so many days; what¡¯s wrong with making you do something? Is there a need to bargain?¡± MO Qian burst out laughing.


    MO Qian spoke softly and did not seem to care about MO Ye¡¯s scrutinizing gaze. He ate his breakfast at ease.


    MO Xi, who had been standing behind him, had already helped him prepare the medicine he needed to take today.


    MO Xi didn¡¯t know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the medicine that fourth Miss Zhuang had re-formulated this time was much more bitter than the last time. The smell was very pungent..

 Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: Chapter 509. Help

    Chapter 509: Chapter 509. Help


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Of course, after being punished the last time, MO Xi no longer dared to badmouth Zhuang Xian in front of his young master. He did not want to be forced to the rooftop to enjoy the cold wind again.


    If the prescription this time had not been prepared by the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss beforehand and given to him when they were about to return that day, MO Xi would have suspected that this was deliberate revenge on MO Qian after his young master had offended the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth Miss!


    MO Qian naturally didn¡¯t know what MO Xi was thinking. After a few more words with MO Ye, he turned his head and gestured for MO Xi to bring the medicine up. He glanced at the mixture in the bowl and drank it without frowning.


    This time, MO Qian accepted the preserved fruit that MO Xi handed over.


    Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the medicinal juice that was too strong; MO Qian ate a few preserved fruits in a row before he stopped.


    MO Ye noticed MO Qian¡¯s actions and raised her eyebrows slightly. When she looked at MO Su again, she only saw MO Su¡¯s expression of heartache for MO Qian. She did not notice anything else. It was as if the topic they were discussing was prevalent!


    This was not a simple matter. MO Ye sighed slightly. She slowly remembered something when she lowered her eyes and looked at the table again.


    In the past few years, grandma MO seemed to have changed a lot.


    MO Ye had always known MO Su was a woman with many tricks. She had held the lifeline of the MO clan in her hands for decades. Her only son, MO Wei, was a lazy person. MO Wei had never thought of inheriting the MO clan¡¯s business.


    MO Su could not do anything to him.


    She could finally put down the power in her hands and let MO Qian take over the behemoth of the MO clan. But fortunately, the heavens still pitied her and allowed her to have a grandson with extraordinary talent like MO Qian. The MO clan now had a descendant that could be passed on.


    After MO Qian¡¯s leg was injured, MO Su changed a lot. She used to treat her granddaughter MO Ye very well, but compared to MO Qian, she was still distant. She didn¡¯t praise or suppress MO Ye!


    Perhaps MO Ye could not achieve anything significant in her eyes, so she was not very guarded against her, even though MO Ye and MO Qian were the only legal inheritors of the vast MO Corporation!


    MO Su had never deliberately avoided MO Ye regarding essential matters in the


    MO Corporation. She had even promoted MO Ye to her current position in the


    MO family¡¯s branch in T City. If it had not been for MO Ye¡¯s useless father, MO


    Ye would have had to work hard for many years to get to her current position.


    Therefore, MO Su had done MO Ye a great favor from a particular perspective.


    She was naturally open-minded and knew her worth. To her, the vast MO Corporation was not something she had to get. MO Ye understood this very well.


    So, MO Ye only felt a little complicated and helpless regarding the old lady¡¯s arrangement.


    The old lady and MO Qian were not guarded against her at all. They were not afraid that she would do something in between and destroy the cooperation between the MO Corporation and the government or take over the job!


    Of course, this was just MO Ye¡¯s idea. Her company in T City was not strong enough to take over such a project.


    Xiao Ting¡¯s worry and anxiety last night were not without reason. Only the MO Corporation could accept such a task in the entire City H.


    Since they had agreed to help MO Qian, MO Ye did not dawdle and act coy. After having breakfast together, the MO siblings went to the MO Corporation. After MO Qian arrived, he gathered the company¡¯s top management for a meeting.


    Together with MO Qian¡¯s assistant, MO Ye was in charge of arranging the work of receiving the government at noon. MO Ye was quick and decisive in her work and very friendly and lively, so she was well-liked by everyone in MO Qian¡¯s office.


    Therefore, when Zhuang Ming brought Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang to the MO Corporation for a ¡®regular meeting,¡¯ young master Zhuang saw the capable MO Ye in the big conference room..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    MO Ye did not realize that Zhuang Bai, standing at the meeting room door, was watching her work. She just bent down and seriously compared the meeting schedule with her assistant.


    Walking behind Zhuang Ming, Zhuang Hang noticed that his big brother had fallen behind. He turned around and saw that Zhuang Bai was looking at MO Ye.


    He smiled and reminded him, ¡°Big brother, if you don¡¯t keep up, we¡¯ll lose Dad!


    Sister MO Ye should be here to help today so that she won¡¯t leave for a while. Let¡¯s go in first!¡±


    Zhuang Bai came back to his senses and cleared his throat unnaturally. When he looked at his second brother again, he no longer had that focused and gentle expression. ¡°When did you learn to be so glib like third brother? ¡± he asked.


    As he spoke, he followed Zhuang Ming. His expression had returned to his usual calm and gentleness.


    Zhuang Bai didn¡¯t show anything on his face, but in his heart, he thought that he and MO Ye seemed to see each other every day recently. What a coincidence!


    Everyone in MO Qian¡¯s company was preparing for today¡¯s crucial meeting.


    Meanwhile, Zhuang Xian, who was far away on the outskirts of City H in the Blue Eagle Base, had received a top-secret mission from Dr. Zhang, who was in charge of the information channels of the Dark Life Gate.


    ¡°The Sect master knew that I was in city H with Mister. That¡¯s why he gave us this top-secret mission.¡± Dr. Zhang stood in front of Zhuang Xian. He wore a white coat and had a first aid kit on his shoulder.


    He kept observing his surroundings with his eye, afraid that someone would crash into him the next moment and ruin his secret meeting with Silente.


    Dr. Zhang explained when he saw that Mister opened the mission book, ¡°Among the people who came from the city this afternoon, there was a very important person, Fang Dong. He was the appointed Minister of the government¡¯s investment Department! He came to City H this time mainly to discuss a special collaboration project with the MO Corporation,¡¯ Phoenix cry¡¯!


    A few underworld forces from Japan are trying to harm him. They jointly issued an assassination plan called ¡®Getting rid of the Phoenix.¡¯ They want to assassinate Fang Dong and the head of the MO family, cooperating with Fang Dong. Our mission this time is to protect Fang Dong¡¯s life and ensure that their meeting goes smoothly!¡± The first assassination plan of ¡®Get rid of the Phoenix¡¯ is at noon today. What we need to do is to intercept this group of people and ensure the success of the meeting! It¡¯s already 8 in the morning. We still have three hours to prepare.¡±


    As Dr. Zhang spoke, he noticed Zhuang Xian¡¯s silence. He continued, ¡°The Sect master also knows that this mission is challenging and that time is very tight. That¡¯s why he has assigned this mission to you, Sir Silente! You¡¯re the only one with the strength to take on this mission. I¡¯ll lead our team members to cooperate with you. Of course, we¡¯ll also have the help of Bureau chief Xiao Ting, who can also cooperate with us!¡±


    Dr. Zhang thought that Zhuang Xian¡¯s silence was related to the mission¡¯s difficulty, so he quickly explained. After he finished, he calmed down and waited patiently for Zhuang Xian¡¯s response.


    Zhuang Xian was not worried about the difficulty of the mission. She was stunned when she heard ¡°Head of the MO Corporation.¡± However, she immediately reacted and kept the mission letter. Without turning her head, she asked, ¡°This is such a big event. What exactly is this ¡®Phoenix cry project? Why did the underworld forces in country R want to assassinate Fang Dong? What did this have to do with the person in charge of the MO Corporation? Just because the MO Corporation wanted to cooperate with the government? And what is the Doug AG Club in the quest book? What does this have to do with it?¡±


    Dr. Zhang frowned as he listened to the questions posed by Silente. He gave it some serious thought before he replied, ¡°Phoenix cry¡¯ is currently a secret project of the government. I don¡¯t know what it is exactly. But I do know something about Fang Dong.. He only became the head of City H¡¯s business recruitment department two years ago, but that¡¯s only his identity!¡±

    Chapter 511: Chapter 511. Assassination


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°According to the information we found, Fang Dong¡¯s identity is not simple. The Sect leader and I suspect he has some connection with the country¡¯s military Bureau! We can¡¯t be sure of any more specific details. It¡¯s not suitable for us to know too much! After all, this is a National secret, and our underworld gate is only an assassin organization in the dark.


    But I feel that the ¡®Phoenix cry¡¯ project the government handed to the MO family is not as simple as the two countries attracting investment. There¡¯s also


    the Doug AG Financial Group in the middle!¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened carefully to Dr. Zhang¡¯s words and finally understood some inside stories. However, she still did not hear what she wanted to know the most.


    Zhuang Xian could understand why the other party wanted to assassinate a mysterious person like Fang Dong. However, MO Qian was just a businessman. Why would they set their sights on him?


    Could it be that there was something about MO Qian that even she did not know about?


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhang Tao with some confusion in her eyes. ¡°Does MO Qian have any other position in this matter? Why would the other party want to harm him?¡±


    When Zhang Tao heard this, he didn¡¯t expect Master to ask such a question. Out of respect for Master, he didn¡¯t ask any further. He only shook his head at Zhuang Xian, indicating he didn¡¯t know why either.


    However, Japan¡¯s underworld forces had always been rampant and crazy. It didn¡¯t seem difficult to understand why they wanted to kill a well-known young entrepreneur while solving the target mission. This would cause panic and commotion in City H and even country Z.


    Seeing Zhang Tao shaking his head, Zhuang Xian sighed in her heart. It was difficult for Zhang Tao to know all these in such an urgent and dangerous mission. She did not blame Zhang Tao for it.


    Zhuang Xian pondered for a while before she looked at Zhang Tao and ordered, ¡°Go and organize all the members in your branch now. We¡¯ll meet up outside the Blue Eagle Base in half an hour. I have something to deal with here first.¡±


    Zhang Tao nodded and replied respectfully, ¡°Ok, sir Silente, I understand! I¡¯ll be responsible for preparing all the logistics and supplies. I¡¯ll also help you prepare the firearms and equipment you¡¯re used to using. We¡¯ll pick you up outside the base in half an hour!¡±


    ¡°Yes, go ahead.¡± Zhuang Xian replied, but her mind was thinking about something else.


    Zhang Tao bowed slightly and left the place.


    As today¡¯s matter was too urgent, the location to which Zhang Tao had chosen to assign the mission was a little sloppy. Outside the low wall, the sound of freshmen training could even be heard!


    This was Zhang Tao¡¯s last resort. However, this position was still relatively safe. There were no cameras, and few outsiders passed by here.


    He did not expect that a top-tier assassin like Silente would be willing to participate in military training that was like a child¡¯s game. He also did not expect that Silente was really in college.


    Zhang Tao, who had many questions and doubts, thought about the mission that would be carried out later. At the same time, he was complaining in his heart. As expected, the thoughts of a god-like Silente were not something that ordinary people like them could understand.


    The weather in City H was not good. There was no sunlight in the morning, and there were a few dark clouds in the sky, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression as if a storm was coming.


    At the gate of the Blue Eagle Base, the standing guard soldiers thought to themselves, ¡®The college students who are having military training today will probably get wet in the rain soon!¡¯


    Because the freshmen of Saint Capital University had been pulled into this base for training, the Blue Eagle Base had been very lively for the past two weeks.


    At 8:45 in the morning, the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the Blue Eagle Base personally saw two military off-road vehicles with unusual license plates.


    At that time, they didn¡¯t dare to look at the person sitting in the back seat of the off-road vehicle carefully. They only checked the car¡¯s pass respectfully and let them through.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the back of the off-road vehicle and saw the base gate slowly closing. She then looked at Li Zhen, who was beside her. After observing Li Zhen¡¯s expression, Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly..

    Chapter 512: Chapter 512. The Old Man¡¯s Worried


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you everything I can report and explain! What else do you want me to do? Our Sect master handpicked the mission I¡¯ve accepted this time. I don¡¯t have a choice!¡± Zhuang Xian explained with a chuckle. Her tone of voice was much gentler than before.


    As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°As for the suggestion you made just now, that¡¯s even more impossible! This is a top-secret mission of the gate of death. How can I let the military participate? This is against the rules! Old man, don¡¯t worry. I promise to call you as soon as I finish the task. Is that okay? Besides, I¡¯m still waiting for you to return me to the base!¡±


    Li Zhen was a little happier hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s rare soft words.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian and said coldly, ¡°Hmph! You said it yourself. If I don¡¯t get your call immediately, I¡¯ll bring my men to stop you! You know my temper; I¡¯m capable of doing anything!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded helplessly. She reached out to open the door and get out of the car, but the next second, she was called to a stop by Li Zheng.


    ¡°Stinky girl, wait a moment! I was planning to give it to you for your birthday, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be on a mission soon. You should take it for self-defense!¡±


    Zhuang Xian subconsciously looked at the old man¡¯s outstretched hand. She smiled gently, and her beautiful eyes became gentler. She took the gun without hesitation and said gently, ¡°Thank you, old man. I like it very much.¡± With that, Zhuang Xian opened the car door and jumped out nimbly.


    Li Zhen sighed slightly. His words were stuck in his chest, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he did not say anything. Looking over, he could only see Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as she entered the black SUV.


    Li Zhen¡¯s Adjutant also looked over. Seeing that the black off-road vehicle had left without hesitation, he asked, ¡°Chief, are we not going to follow them? Miss Zhuang Xian¡¯s mission this time is not simple.¡±


    If even the Adjutant could sense it, how could Li Zhen not?


    He sighed again and replied in a low voice, ¡°Those people from the gate of death aren¡¯t easy to deal with. If we follow them without a care, we¡¯ll probably get the stinky girl into trouble! Forget it; let¡¯s observe the situation first. The stinky girl¡¯s abilities aren¡¯t limited to this, and it¡¯s still not certain who will win!¡±


    Hearing his old Chief¡¯s words, the Adjutant furrowed his brows as if he understood something. Then, he thought of something and nodded his head slightly. Other things could be ignored for now, but Miss Zhuang Xian¡¯s abilities were extraordinary!


    He had once been fortunate to witness Zhuang Xian and Li Zhen¡¯s shooting contest. Their old Chief¡¯s marksmanship was one of a kind in the entire military camp, but he still lost to Miss Zhuang Xian.


    Ever since then, the Adjutant had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. He felt that no matter how hard others worked or trained, they could never catch up to someone as talented as Zhuang Xian. It was an undeniable fact that Zhuang Xian was born a genius.


    From the rearview mirror of the special off-road vehicle, Zhang Tao saw Zhuang Xian changing into her combat uniform in the car¡¯s back seat. He looked away without a word. ¡°I¡¯ve sent you the layout of the MO Corporation¡¯s building and their office building. There¡¯s still some time on the way so you can take a look first! Do you have any other suggestions for this interception battle? I¡¯ve also sent you the battle plan I¡¯ve just formulated!¡±


    After Zhuang Xian heard Zhang Tao¡¯s words, she did not reply immediately. She put on the latest bulletproof vest developed by the dark life gate and had two guns strapped to her waist before she replied, ¡°So, you spent half an hour coming up with your battle plan?¡±


    It seemed like a simple question, but Zhang Tao felt that he was choked by the ¡®straightforward¡¯ question of this ¡®Special Agent¡¯!

 Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: Chapter 513. Xiao Ting’s Support

    Chapter 513: Chapter 513. Xiao Ting¡¯s Support


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhang Tao was stunned by Zhuang Xian¡¯s words. He had an awkward expression on his face. Fortunately, the other team members around them did not seem to be paying attention to what was happening. Zhang Tao heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to say something, but Zhuang Xian interrupted him.


    ¡°The more complicated the mission is, the more patient and careful we should be! Although the mission is dead, we¡¯re alive. It¡¯s better to avoid some procedural and formal stuff if possible. There¡¯s no need to waste time! In a while, when the operation begins, you need to obey and complete my orders.


    Please leave it to me. ¡®


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she turned to the side as if hiding something in her undershirt. When she turned back, she turned on her computer and started to browse through the various messages that Zhang Tao had sent her.


    As a Special Agent from the information Department, it was already perfect for Zhang Tao to act like this. However, Zhuang Xian had always been strict with herself and the people under her. So, even if these people could not get 100 points now, she would still have high standards for them.


    After all, they were all going to the battlefield. If the soldiers only wanted to score 80 points, they would fail on the battlefield! The cruelty of reality never repeats itself.


    Zhuang Xian understood this logic, and so did Zhang Tao. Therefore, after Zhuang Xian finished speaking, he did not refute or refuse to accept it. He just cleared his mind and forced himself to be ready for battle. He did not want to waste his energy on unnecessary things.


    Outside the MO corporation¡¯s towering office building, Xiao Ting sat in a gray car by the roadside. He held a transmitter in his hand and stared at the road in front of the window tensely.


    When he got up this morning, he felt his eyelids were uncomfortable. They kept twitching randomly. An inexplicable sense of uneasiness poured into his heart, and this feeling had not wholly disappeared until now.


    Xiao Ting glanced at his watch. It was already 11:30 in the morning. Half an hour before, the group from the other city would land in City H.


    However, at such a critical moment, the higher-ups suddenly gave Xiao Ting a top-secret mission: to be ready to meet up with the special agents of the gate of death outside the MO Group¡¯s office building and to obey and cooperate with these people¡¯s actions fully!


    Xiao Ting had been waiting there for almost 20 minutes, but there was still no one. Just as he was about to lose his patience and call his subordinates at the airport to ask about the situation, three excellent black off-road vehicles suddenly turned up from the fork in the road. They stopped behind the car Xiao Ting was sitting in.


    The police officers sitting behind Xiao Ting saw this and became slightly nervous!


    Xiao Ting observed the situation behind them through the rearview mirror. After a long while, he sighed and ordered, ¡°I¡¯ll go and meet them. You guys pay attention to the situation at the intersection.¡¯


    His subordinates nodded in agreement. Seeing that the director had no intention of guarding against the car behind them, they all focused on the vehicles and pedestrians on the road.


    Because they had received the S-Class order from their superiors to set up defenses, they were agitated and cautious today. They feared the other party would cause trouble and delay today¡¯s meeting.


    Through the one-way glass window of the off-road vehicle, Zhang Tao glanced at Xiao Ting, who was standing outside the door. When he turned to look at Zhuang Xian in the back seat, he got a signal from Zhuang Xian to open the door.


    Zhang Tao opened the door of the car¡¯s back seat and retracted his gaze. He focused on observing the situation around him.


    The agents of the Gate of Death were indeed very cautious. With this in mind, Xiao Ting opened the back door of the off-road vehicle. After he bent down and got into the car, he saw the woman sitting at the left door!


    She wore a black Special-class combat uniform and a black mask unique to the Underworld gate. She was looking straight at him and holding the latest silenced submachine gun.


    There were six team members in the off-road vehicle, including the one in charge. Three fully equipped people were sitting in the back row of the car.. A strong sense of oppression came over Xiao Ting, and he could not help but feel nervous!

    Chapter 514: Chapter 514. It¡¯s All Wrong


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    However, the tense atmosphere did not last long. After Xiao Ting took a deep breath, the underworld gate commander, sitting next to him in full armor, spoke.


    ¡°When we came here just now, we even took a detour. I found that there is a problem with your defense today! There are several forks in the road behind the MO Corporation¡¯s building on the right. You didn¡¯t send anyone to guard it. Do you want to block people at the MO Corporation¡¯s gate and fight? Are you all that confident that you can protect so many people? Is this the only number of people in the entire police station?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were fixed on Xiao Ting as she criticized the police¡¯s defense without hesitation.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the time constraint, Zhuang Xian wanted to lead Xiao Ting to the few intersections and let him see the sieve-like security guards.


    If the other party were brilliant, they would have already sneaked into their encirclement by now!


    After being scolded by the commander before him, Xiao Ting returned to his senses after a few seconds. He swallowed nervously and explained, ¡± Because the place we need to set up defense today is not only the MO Corporation building but also the airport of City H!


    The situation there is much more complicated than here, so I arranged for most of my police officers to be there. Even I just rushed over from there. Honestly, I don¡¯t understand why you guys chose to meet here. Don¡¯t we have the same mission? Aren¡¯t we all here to protect Minister Fang¡¯s safety?¡±


    Zhuang Xian patiently listened to Xiao Ting¡¯s words, then slowly turned and looked at Zhang Tao, sitting in the front passenger seat.


    She furrowed her brows and asked, ¡°So, the mission given by the door is only for our team? Did the police only know that their mission was to protect


    Minister Fang? What about MO Qian? No one cares if he lives or dies, right?¡±


    Almost at this moment, Zhang Tao immediately understood the meaning behind Zhuang Xian¡¯s questions. He looked at Xiao Ting in disbelief and asked anxiously, ¡°What was the specific order you received? Why was it different from ours? Did your superior only say he would protect Minister Fang?¡±


    ¡°But the secret information we received said that the other party¡¯s assassination targets were Minister Fang and MO Qian. How can we do that?


    When executing the order to set up the defense, did you only execute half of it? This is a big mistake!¡±


    Xiao Ting¡¯s mind went blank. He felt like he couldn¡¯t understand what the agents were saying. His mind was in a daze, and his palms were sweating. ¡°The orders I received were indeed to protect Minister Fang, but no one mentioned that MO Qian was also the target of these assassins! I don¡¯t know!¡±


    Realizing he might have made a colossal mistake, Xiao Ting¡¯s back was covered in a cold sweat. The light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.


    Although it seemed like he had overlooked that MO Qian was also the enemy¡¯s target in the overall situation, this had already become the key reason for their failure in this battle!


    Xiao Ting¡¯s police force deployment today was all wrong! And it wasn¡¯t terrific!


    These assassins would not move before Fang Dong and MO Qian met. Instead, they would take their lives in one fell swoop when Fang Dong arrived at the MO Corporation building and officially met MO Qian!


    Zhuang Xian frowned as she looked at Xiao Ting¡¯s changing expression. She knew that he had just regained his composure. Xiao Ting¡¯s police force was still stationed at the airport. She looked at the time; it was already 11:55. Only five minutes left before Fang Dong arrived at Mo¡¯s building.


    Zhuang Xian was silent for a few seconds before she looked at the entrance of the MO Corporation building and ordered in a deep voice, ¡°Call back the police force at the airport immediately. This was a terrible situation. I suspect the other party has already set up an ambush around the building. Tell everyone who is stationed here to guard their respective intersections.. Without my orders, they are not to leave their posts!¡±

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked at Zhang Tao and continued instructing, ¡°Drive the car back to the intersection we came in from and find a place to set up an ambush. When Minister Fang arrives later, be on full alert!¡±


    Zhang Tao acknowledged in a low voice, but her eyes were fixed on Xiao Ting in the car. When she saw that her order had finally brought him back to his senses, she stared at Xiao Ting coldly and said, ¡°Hurry up and get out of the car to carry out the mission! Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t understand my orders?¡±


    Xiao Ting knew that he had made a big mistake. He nodded at Zhuang Xian and turned to get out of the car.


    Just as he picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to call the people at the airport back, the black off-road vehicle behind him sped out. At the same time, ne saw a rew DlaCK government commercial vemcles turn Into tne Intersection not far away!


    Fang Dong¡¯s fleet had arrived safely! They had not determined the exact location of the enemy. Xiao Ting took a deep breath and immediately dialed the walkie-talkie. Without waiting for the people on the other side to respond, he immediately ordered, ¡°All police officers, return to the MO Corporation building to set up a defense. Move quickly!¡±


    He hung up the walkie-talkie and walked quickly to the gray car. He called all the police in the car and followed Fang Dong¡¯s team.


    He carefully looked at the entrance of the building and the pedestrians around the square. His heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of his chest!


    In the lobby on the first floor of MO¡¯s building, MO Qian and MO Ye had already walked out, followed by a group of people.


    Zhuang Xian held a submachine gun as she sat outside the MO corporation¡¯s entrance. In an off-road vehicle not far away, her eyes widened when she saw Zhuang Ming and her two brothers behind MO Qian.


    A horrible and uneasy feeling struck her heart. She did not expect her father, big brother, and second brother to be in MO Qian¡¯s company today. In a daze, she seemed to hear her thunderous heartbeat.


    Zhuang Xian forced herself to calm down. Cold sweat had already started to form on her temples. She snapped back to her senses and looked at Fang


    Dong¡¯s fleet of cars that had stopped at the entrance of the MO Corporation. Her eyes were like a sharp laser as she quickly scanned the surroundings for any unstable factors.


    As MO Xi was pushing MO Qian, he suddenly looked in the direction where


    Zhuang Xian. When he saw a black SUV, he looked away and frowned slightly. However, he quickly put away this inexplicable feeling because Fang Dong was already walking towards him with a smile!


    MO Ye had been standing beside MO Qian the whole time. She looked at MO Qian and department head Fang who were shaking hands before her, and suddenly felt a strange sense of danger. She subconsciously looked in the direction opposite Zhuang Xian¡¯s car and saw a man under the tree with a gun in his hand. She was stunned at first, but then she shouted a warning, ¡°That person has a gun! Everyone, be careful!¡±


    However, as her voice reached everyone¡¯s ears in the next second, a series of gunshots sounded.


    MO Qian and Fang Dong were the first to react. Fang Dong quickly covered his head and dodged. His assistant and Xiao Ting¡¯s men promptly surrounded him, forming a human wall between him and MO Qian.


    Xiao Ting was about to go crazy. He shouted at the people around him to evacuate. He raised his hand to protect Fang Dong, bent down, and wanted to take Fang Dong to the gate behind MO Qian. However, a few gunshots behind them instantly shattered his thoughts!


    When the gunshot had been fired, MO Ye had been pulled by a hand and barely dodged a bullet. She immediately turned around and saw Zhuang Bai and MO Qian.


    The two of them pulled her along, and before she could say anything, MO Qian ordered in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t raise your head, don¡¯t stand up! Hurry up and retreat to the lobby! Hurry up!¡±


    As he said this, he turned to look at Zhuang Bai and said without any hesitation, ¡°Take everyone and retreat! The other party is a very professional killer. I suspect that he has other tricks up his sleeve!¡±


    As if in response to MO Qian¡¯s words, more than a dozen assassins with guns in their hands appeared from both sides of them in an instant!

 Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: Chapter 516. No Room to Retreat

    Chapter 516: Chapter 516. No Room to Retreat


    MO Qian saw all of this. His eyes suddenly widened, and he was just about to open his mouth to warn MO Xi, who was blocking him, but before he could say anything, he saw a bullet go straight through MO Xi¡¯s shoulder.


    MO Xi let out a muffled cry of pain and forced himself to hold his body up so he did not fall. His face turned pale in an instant. He wanted to push MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair with his right hand and protect him as he retreated backward, but these killers did not seem to give him such a chance.


    However, when MO Xi was pushing back MO Qian¡¯s smart wheelchair, it was tripped by the staff member who had been shot and was lying on the ground.


    MO Xi looked at the swarming assassins and was about to go crazy with anxiety. He wanted to carry MO Qian down from the wheelchair, but his arm that was shot wouldn¡¯t allow him to do so. MO Xi had no choice but to look for people around him to help. However, no one in the crowd who was running around noticed the situation. Only MO Ye, being pulled back into the hall by Zhuang Bai, shouted at the top of her lungs for everyone to save MO Qian.


    MO Ye couldn¡¯t care less about her embarrassment as she loudly ordered the police and security guards around her, ¡°Hurry up and pull MO Qian back! What are you all doing? MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair is being blocked; go quickly!¡±


    As MO Ye said these words, she could see the cowering and hesitating expressions on the security guards¡¯ faces and the busy looks of the few policemen beside her. She gritted her teeth and tried to free herself from Zhuang Bai¡¯s restraints to go back and help MO Xi push MO Qian back.


    But how could Zhuang Bai let her go back and risk her life? So, he held MO Ye¡¯s hand tightly and motioned her to look at him.


    He looked at the woman before him and said in a deep voice, ¡°You stay here and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go and get MO Qian!¡±


    Hearing Zhuang Bai¡¯s words, MO Ye, was stunned. She swallowed her saliva, looked at him nervously, and said, ¡°Thank you! But I want to go with you!¡±


    There wasn¡¯t much time to talk about the current situation. Zhuang Bai had wanted to persuade MO Ye, but MO Ye had already kicked off her high heels and jogged out with her back hunched.


    Zhuang Bai¡¯s heart almost stopped from MO Ye¡¯s bold action. He swallowed his words and followed behind MO Ye.


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s eldest son had already disappeared from his side. He looked at Zhuang Bai, who had already walked to the main entrance, and immediately called loudly, ¡°Zhuang Bai! Where are you going? Hurry up and come back!¡±


    However, Zhuang Bai¡¯s unusually silent and steady back was the only reply to Zhuang Ming.


    Zhuang Hang stood behind Zhuang Ming, panting. His face was also filled with anxiety.


    He looked at his brother, who was walking out and wanted to follow him to pull him back. However, Zhuang Ming grabbed his arm before he could take two steps.


    Around MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair, a few people were already lying down. He had been protected by MO Xi the whole time, and all he could hear was the constant sound of footsteps and gunshots.


    He could already smell the blood on MO Xi¡¯s body. Who knew how many bullets MO Xi had been shot within this short one minute?


    MO Qian took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice, ¡°You go first! Go in and get someone to come out!¡±


    ¡°No, young master! I won¡¯t leave you here alone!¡± While MO Xi was speaking, another policeman fell beside him. This was an old Criminal Police officer under Xiao Ting. He had helped MO Xi to push back the killers who wanted to rush up.


    MO Qian knew very well that if he continued to be trapped in the wheelchair at this time, then MO Xi beside him would be the next old Criminal Police officer. He gritted his teeth, and with both hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, he suddenly tried to throw himself out of the wheelchair!


    MO Xi saw MO Qian¡¯s movements clearly and was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a slender and lithe figure in a black combat uniform, fully armed, unknown combat personnel, stop in front of his young master.


    Her body was slightly bent, and her right hand held a mini submachine gun. Her left hand, wearing a black combat glove, was already pressed on MO Qian¡¯s shoulder..

 Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: Chapter 517. Sit Back Down And Don ‘t Move

    Chapter 517: Chapter 517. Sit Back Down And Don ¡®t Move


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°Sit back down! Don¡¯t move.¡±


    When MO Qian heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, his hands suddenly stopped moving.


    With just this short sentence, MO Qian had already successfully distinguished that the agent in front of him, covered from head to toe in a combat uniform, was the person he had been thinking about day and night.


    Seeing that the man had obediently been pushed back into the wheelchair, Zhuang Xian bent down and half-squatted in front of him. She held the submachine gun in her hand and poured out her anger!


    The assassins who had just charged forward to kill MO Qian were stunned by Zhuang Xian¡¯s attack!


    The agents of the gate of death were not ordinary police officers. They were armed with the most advanced firearms.


    Because of the leadership of the top-tier assassin, Silente, their combat style was even more fierce and swift. This kind of powerful and fearless fighting style was fast and precise, suppressing the attacks of the enemy assassins!


    Zhang Tao ordered two team members to clear the obstacles behind MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair. When he looked up at Silente again, he reported, ¡°The scene has been cleared! Let¡¯s retreat!¡±


    Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian swiftly stopped what she was doing. With the cover and cooperation of the other team members, she turned around and gripped the armrest of MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair tightly. With a slight push of her arms, she pushed MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair and quickly retreated towards Zhuang Bai and MO Ye, standing at the main door behind them.


    As she pushed the wheelchair backward, the distance between Zhuang Xian and MO Qian was very close. They were so close that MO Qian could hear Zhuang Xian¡¯s steady breathing behind the mask.


    His eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face as if he was trying to see through the specially made black mask to see Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression.


    However, MO Qian was just an ordinary person. He could not see through things that only superheroes had. He lifted his eyes and looked at the only part of Zhuang Xian¡¯s body that was not covered!


    MO Qian thought he would probably remember this pair of eyes and this gaze for the rest of his life, melding them with flesh and blood in his heart, becoming an inseparable part of his body and memory.


    There was still a smile in his eyes, but his beautiful and exquisite eyes were red as if they were triggered by something. He said hoarsely, ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±


    Zhuang Xian only had time to react and did not have the time to respond to his words. In fact, in the next moment, Zhuang Xian had already pushed MO Qian back into the hands of Zhuang Bai and MO Ye!


    She looked deeply at MO Qian, and her hands subconsciously hugged the submachine gun again. This was the most intuitive action in her body memory as an excellent soldier and agent.


    ¡®The underworld gate team led by Mister had completed the rescue mission. The two targets were safe, and their next task was to continue clearing out the assassins outside the MO building.¡¯ This was the battle plan that the leader of


    Mister nad just Issued.


    Zhang Tao had been covering the retreat of the team. Seeing that their target had successfully escaped, he was about to follow the team to carry out the next step of the battle plan. However, he was confused by the team leader, who suddenly stopped moving. Team leader?


    Zhang Tao wanted to ask why Silente had suddenly stopped moving. However, the next second, he saw Silente suddenly pull a pistol from her waist and stuff it into MO Qian¡¯s hand.


    He was a little confused and subconsciously thought about the meaning of this action. In his mind, he knew that Silente would not do something meaningless, so there must be some other purpose.


    However, Zhuang Xian did not give Zhang Tao too much time to think about her actions, which had no special meaning. She wanted to provide MO Qian with a gun, a weapon he could use to protect himself.


    After this, Zhuang Xian even looked up at Zhuang Bai and MO Ye, standing behind MO Qian. However, she did not say anything more. Instead, she held the gun again and turned to leave.


    ¡°Annihilate them all; leave no one alive!¡±


    Zhang Tao and the other team members around him heard the command.


    They held their guns in their hands and maintained a half-scattered combat formation as if they were actively responding to orders of Silente..

 Chapter 518 - Chapter 518: Chapter 518. Who is She?

    Chapter 518: Chapter 518. Who is She?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    This fan-shaped formation had protected MO Qian and his group behind them to a large extent.


    Zhuang Xian was the first to be hit. With her slender back slightly bent, she charged into the shooting range of the enemy killers.


    Zhang Tao quickly followed behind and stuck close to Zhuang Xian. He was the best shield for this moment!


    The assassins from country R wanted to continue their pursuit after their first failed attempt. Naturally, Zhuang Xian would not give them such an opportunity.


    The 16 underworld gate secret agent team members behind her were like a solid human wall, guarding the only gap behind them like an iron bucket. These killers had no way to get close to the entrance of the MO Corporation building.


    On the square in front of the MO Corporation¡¯s building, some idle tourists were still strolling around. However, after the sudden shooting incident, they all dispersed instantly. There was no need for the police and the underworld gate¡¯s Secret agents to clear the place.


    It started drizzling in the sky. The rain soaked the ground, and the air at a low altitude sucked in the dust.


    As Zhuang Bai looked at the figure who had already left, a sense of familiarity suddenly rose in his heart. He felt he had seen this slender figure somewhere before but couldn¡¯t recall where.


    He tried to recall if anyone else around him could match this figure, but he couldn¡¯t find anything.


    Zhuang Bai was puzzled. He lowered his eyes and looked at the black gun in MO Qian¡¯s hand. Frowning, he asked tentatively, ¡°She knows you, right, MO Qian?


    When did you start dealing with such a powerful person? Who is she?¡±


    Upon hearing this, MO Qian slowly tightened his grip on the pistol. However, his eyes were fixed on the slender and unique figure in the crowd before him! Just as Zhuang Bai¡¯s eyes darkened, thinking MO Qian wouldn¡¯t answer his question; MO Qian suddenly asked, ¡°Who do you think she is?¡±


    Stunned, Zhuang Bai immediately lowered his eyes to look at MO Qian and asked subconsciously, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡±


    MO Qian seemed to have only returned to his senses after Zhuang Bai asked him several questions.


    He turned to look at MO Xi, who was already half-lying on the ground, surrounded by several police officers, and doing simple hemostasis treatment. He said calmly, ¡°Whoever you think she is, she is.¡±


    His voice was extremely low, and it didn¡¯t seem like he was answering Zhuang Bai but more like he was talking to himself.


    Zhuang Bai didn¡¯t understand what MO Qian meant, but seeing MO Qian¡¯s unusual expression, he didn¡¯t ask anything more, only falling silent once more.


    He tried to ease his tense emotions. After looking at the gun in MO Qian¡¯s hand, he sighed sincerely, ¡°She¡¯s so powerful! He¡¯s so handsome! What kind of people do you think they are? I don¡¯t think they¡¯re on the same side as Bureau chief Xiao¡¯s men! She looked much more powerful than the police! However, it felt like a movie! It¡¯s so exciting!¡±


    ¡°Heavens! Did you guys see how she turned around and flicked her chopsticks? Isn¡¯t this spear technique too invincible? This woman is so cool!¡± MO Ye talked excitedly. She tried to raise his head to see the fighting scene outside.


    However, in the next moment, she was immediately pulled back by Zhuang Bai. She looked up at the man beside her. Because she was not wearing any shoes, she was half a head shorter than Zhuang Bai. She had to lift her neck to see Zhuang Bai¡¯s expression.


    ¡°Don¡¯t poke your head out yet; we must be more careful.¡± Zhuang Bai said in a low voice.


    MO Ye nodded obediently and looked at Zhuang Bail s face without saying anything.


    Seeing that the people around him had finally stopped messing around, Zhuang Bai lowered his eyes to look at MO Qian and asked, ¡°Who are these assassins? How dare they be so arrogant?¡±

    Chapter 519: Chapter 519. The Pistol She Gave me


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°It¡¯s still broad daylight, yet they dared to try to assassinate him. They don¡¯t care about the public security of City H at all! The gunshots had been going on for so long; why hadn¡¯t the police come yet? Is there a traffic jam, so they can¡¯t come over?¡±


    As Zhuang Bai said this, he slowly turned and looked at Xiao Ting, still half-kneeling on the ground, protecting Fang Dong with a guarded look. He said in an unfriendly tone, ¡°Since Bureau chief Xiao is here today, do you want to come out and explain the accident? Where¡¯s the police¡¯s support?¡±


    Xiao Ting¡¯s face darkened, and his serious eyebrows furrowed deeply. He felt guilty, but more than that, he was flustered.


    Although Fang Dong and MO Qian had not suffered any apparent injuries in the assassination, they suffered heavy losses, especially those around MO Qian!


    He glanced at MO Xi, still lying on the ground, covered in blood, and his heart shuddered. If this person had not protected MO Qian with all his might, the consequences would have been unimaginable!


    Xiao Ting knew that Ma Xi was MO Qian¡¯s very important special Assistant. He was a little guilty and worried, and he sized up MO Qian¡¯s expression from the corner of his eye.


    MO Qian did not care about anyone or anything other than Zhuang Xian. As


    Zhuang Bai questioned Xiao Ting, he held his gun and beckoned to his ASSIStant, signanng mm to come closer.


    He whispered a few words to the Assistant and waved his hand to let the man leave.


    Minister Fang Dong¡¯s attention had been on MO Qian the whole time. He had taken in all the young man¡¯s movements in the wheelchair. Then, with the help of his assistants, he slowly stood up.


    While the assassins were still surrounding MO Qian, Fang Dong was already protected by Xiao Ting and his men. He was the first to safely retreat into the hall on the first floor of the MO family.


    As the most crucial person in this meeting, it was understandable that the police would be responsible for Fang Dong¡¯s safety. However, if this kind of favoritism were too obvious or excessive, it would quickly cause dissatisfaction among the surrounding people!


    Among them, the first to bear the brunt was Zhuang Bai, who had been with MO Ye and had risked his own life to save the others.


    The situation had been too urgent, and no one had answered MO Ye¡¯s request for help. As MO Qian¡¯s only sister, she naturally could not just watch MO Qian get into danger!


    He wanted to help MO Xi, alone and helpless in the rain of bullets, and pull MO Qian back from the edge of life and death. Of course, Zhuang Bai couldn¡¯t just sit by and do nothing while MO Qian and MO Ye were in danger. So, he lost the steadiness he was usually proud of and rushed out with MO Ye.


    If it weren¡¯t for the appearance of this well-equipped and excellent team behind them, which turned the tide and reversed the situation, Zhuang Bai couldn¡¯t imagine what the consequences would be.


    The more he thought about the details of the scene just now, the more frightened Zhuang Bai became and the more angry and speechless he was. If this wasn¡¯t a mistake and failure of the police, then it was ridiculous.


    As if he could feel the anger and dissatisfaction of Zhuang Bai and MO Qian¡¯s people, Xiao Ting became increasingly afraid and guilty. He glanced at Fang Dong, thought for a moment, and admitted that it was a mistake in his plan.


    ¡®Mr. MO, Minister Fang, I¡¯m sorry! This is indeed my misjudgment. The police reinforcements will be here soon. Please give me another 10 minutes. I guarantee that they will be here in time! Although our colleagues from the gate of death are very powerful and have temporarily suppressed the enemy¡¯s firepower, we can¡¯t let our guard down. Therefore, we must be more careful!¡±


    Xiao Ting explained in a hurry, his eyes shifting back and forth between Fang Dong and MO Qian, begging for forgiveness.


    He wanted a chance to redeem himself, but no one in the audience seemed to want to forgive him, let alone talk to him.


    For a moment, the entire hall on the first floor was so quiet that one could hear a needle falling.


    There was no fool present. Under the circumstances where the two leaders had not made their stand clear, no one dared to say anything..

 Chapter 520 - Chapter 520: Chapter 520. Did You Collect The Corpse in Time?

    Chapter 520: Chapter 520. Did You Collect The Corpse in Time?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°In time?¡± An intense and slightly hoarse voice rang out in the hall.


    MO Qian¡¯s dark and gloomy eyes had been looking out the door the entire time.


    Zhuang Xian was hiding behind a flower bed that was only half a person¡¯s height, more than ten meters away from the MO family¡¯s main entrance. Today¡¯s combat conditions were terrible. The field before the MO Corporation was ton vast. and the cover was excellent When they confronted the Japanese


    killers, it was like playing a shooting game.


    Although the underworld gate¡¯s 16-man Special Agent squad had temporarily suppressed the enemy¡¯s firepower, they could not take the initiative to attack because the enemy had too many people, and snipers were lying in wait in the dark. They could not engage in a head-on battle with the enemy and were in a stalemate.


    Sitting firmly behind the safety circle, MO Qian seemed to have noticed the problem. He slowly retracted his gaze from the outside. After thinking for a


    while, he said, ¡°Director Xiao, do you misunderstand this word? If it weren¡¯t for this small team outside that blocked the enemy¡¯s firepower for us, I¡¯m afraid no one would be able to end this meeting today! Am I right, Director Xiao?¡±


    ¡°These killers have already pointed their guns at our heads, and you¡¯re telling me that the police need another ten minutes to ¡®arrive¡¯? How timely was this? Rushing over in time to collect everyone¡¯s bodies? You¡¯re the Police Chief of


    City H. This is your work attitude and ability, right?¡±


    The way MO Qian spoke in a low voice was very frightening.


    Xiao Ting felt that the current MO Qian was not the person he had met yesterday. Looking at him made him feel cold for no reason, and he was frightened and at a loss.


    MO Qian usually looked like a very gentlemanly and approachable person. He was also very thoughtful and polite when dealing with people and things. However, only those who truly understood MO Qian knew how ridiculous the outside world¡¯s perception of him as ¡®very approachable¡¯ was!


    Especially when MO Qian¡¯s bottom line was crossed, people could see the stubbornness and indifference in MO Qian¡¯s personality.


    In this world, there was no lack of people who were good at disguising themselves. Zhuang Xian was one of them, and MO Qian was no different.


    MO Qian¡¯s usual refined and gentlemanly demeanor had faded. Now, he had a noble and indifferent aura around him. He was beautiful, but there was no warmth at all! He was like a perfect statue carved out of glass.


    Xiao Ting was so frightened by MO Qian¡¯s aura that his face turned pale, and cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead. He tried to swallow his saliva to ease the tension in his heart.


    Fang Dong hadn¡¯t said a single word since the beginning. He was observing everyone¡¯s situation and attitude. After MO Qian¡¯s speech and getting a general idea of MO Qian¡¯s attitude, he cleared his throat and explained to Xiao Ting, ¡°President MO is right; Director Xiao did make some mistakes in his work! But fortunately, it didn¡¯t cause any irreparable consequences. In my opinion, this is already a blessing in misfortune! We¡¯re all safe now, and it¡¯s not without director Xiao¡¯s credit .


    Of course. The main credit goes to the warriors of the underworld gate. However, the enemy is still out there, and we are unsafe. Waiting for the police to help was the most important thing at the moment! It¡¯s not the time to pursue responsibility yet. We must first think of a way to get through the current crisis. This is what we should be doing right now!


    I don¡¯t know how long the small team outside can resist. If we stay in the hall, we can only sit and wait for death! Let¡¯s go upstairs. That way, we can buy more time and wait for the police to come to help us! President MO, do you think I¡¯m right?¡±


    When Fang Dong spoke, his leadership aura started to shake uncontrollably.


    He pretended to ask MO Qian, but he already had an idea in his heart.. He was going to protect Xiao Ting, who was standing beside him!

 Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: Chapter 521. Scared Fang Dong to Death

    Chapter 521: Chapter 521. Scared Fang Dong to Death


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    He also had to take the ideas of everyone who was blocked here!


    In Minister Dong Fang¡¯s heart, he regarded himself as the most important person on the scene. It was as if everyone had to listen to him alone.


    Sitting closest to the gate, MO Qian did not care much about Fang Dong¡¯s questions and suggestions. He picked up the black pistol, and Fang Dong widened his eyes and looked in this direction. He raised the gun horizontally and pointed the muzzle at Fang Dong.


    Just when Fang Dong and Xiao Ting thought that MO Qian had gone crazy and was about to attack his people, MO Qian pulled the trigger with a dark face. The bullet flew out of the muzzle and pierced Fang Dong¡¯s air, entering the shoulder of a sneaky man behind Fang Dong.


    The gunshot was accompanied by screams from the crowd and the painful sound of the man being shot.


    Fang Dong was almost scared by MO Qian¡¯s sudden gun raising. When the gunshot rang out, his entire body froze, and he could not move. In that short moment, Fang Dong thought MO Qian was impatient with his nagging and self-righteousness and wanted to shoot him directly!


    The few policemen standing behind Xiao Ting were the first to react. They turned around and took action. They restrained the man who had been shot and fallen to the ground in a few moves. Soon, they found a powerful bomb on this person!


    Fortunately, MO Qian discovered it in time. The killer hiding among them did not even have time to pull the tongue on the bomb.


    Because of the bloody hole in his shoulder, he curled up on the ground and cried out in pain. He then cursed in R language.


    Fang Dong could understand the language of R, so after he understood what the killer was saying, he suddenly returned to his senses.


    After exhaling a few deep breaths, he barely suppressed the collapse in his heart. He subconsciously turned back to look at the person pressed to the ground by the police. He retracted his gaze and looked at MO Qian again. He asked hoarsely, ¡°How did you know he¡¯s not one of us? How long has he been standing behind me?¡±


    MO Qian didn¡¯t answer Fang Dong¡¯s questions. He just looked at Fang Dong coldly, slowly put down the gun in his hand, and said, ¡°Although you talk a lot of nonsense, you¡¯re still right. It¡¯s indeed not time to settle the responsibility.


    Bureau Chief Xiao can protect his head for the time being!¡±


    As he spoke, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xiao Ting and said sternly, ¡°So? How long will you hide behind the support team with your subordinates? Your life is yours, but isn¡¯t it the same for others? I¡¯ll give you three more minutes. You can wait to get off the stage if you still don¡¯t see any other reinforcements! I, MO Qian, will do what I say!¡± Xiao Ting had no choice but to wipe the sweat off his forehead.


    He hurriedly bowed slightly to MO Qian and nodded. He did not dare to question the meaning of MO Qian¡¯s words. He knew that MO Qian indeed had such strength.


    Xiao Ting gripped the communicator tightly as if he wanted to crush it into pieces. He would not have been so humble before MO Qian if he had a way now.


    He calmed down and began to urge the police officers repeatedly.


    After MO Qian finished dealing with the killer hiding among them, Fang Dong and his men were much calmer and more obedient. Fang Dong was like a firecracker that had suddenly become mute, no longer daring to point fingers in front of MO Qian.


    At this moment, the hall was hushed. Even Zhuang Bai, who had been feeling indignant, was unusually silent.


    He looked deeply at MO Qian and pondered for a long time. In the end, he did not say anything.


    MO Qian¡¯s sudden action of shooting just now not only shocked Fang Dong and Xiao Ting but also shocked the Zhuang father and son trio.


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang looked at MO Qian in surprise, but they quickly put away the shock in their hearts.


    On second thought, they felt that it was not surprising that MO Qian knew how to use a gun. After all, MO Qian was the only heir of the MO family. It was customary for him to know some basic self-protection measures..

 Chapter 522 - Chapter 522: Chapter 522. Faction Confrontation

    Chapter 522: Chapter 522. Faction Confrontation


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    While MO Qian was in control of the situation in the hall on the first floor, Zhuang Xian was also leading her team members to fight the assassins on the opposite side!


    These assassins from Japan were so anxious that they were about to spit fire when they saw the difficult assassination mission. They had twice the number of Zhuang Xian¡¯s team members.


    Although they had lost five or six assassins to Zhuang Xian¡¯s ambush a few minutes ago, they still had the upper hand. Even so, they were still firmly pinned down by Zhuang Xian¡¯s group at the door!


    The Japanese sniper, lying quietly on the car¡¯s roof, cursed in a low voice. He raised his hand and wiped the rain off his face with a slight movement. His entire body was wet from the rain, but he still lay in ambush without moving.


    In his sniper rifle¡¯s field of vision, Zhuang Xian and Zhang Tao were very close to each other. He could not determine which of the two was the enemy¡¯s mastermind. He was waiting for a perfect opportunity to shoot, so he did not pull the trigger for a long time. He knew his teammates were waiting for his signal, and this shot was critical.


    The two camps silently confronting each other in the rain were both waiting for the best opportunity to make a move. They were now competing in patience. Whoever lost their patience first would lose.


    However, contrary to this, the assassins from Japan were destined not to have much time to waste with Zhuang Xian and the others.


    They wanted to end the battle quickly, but the enemy slowed them down. In the world of assassins, this was a hazardous signal! This was because they did not know when the reinforcements from the Chinese soldiers would arrive.


    Their guess was not wrong. Zhuang Xian was indeed deliberately slowing down the pace. To minimize casualties, she did not intend to face these killers head-on because this place was unsuitable for confrontation.


    If they were to force it, it was estimated that no one would be able to gain anything!


    However, these were only Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts. If she reversed this position, that would be the true thoughts of the assassins in Japan!


    The sniper heard their captain¡¯s urging through his earpiece. He gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes, and aimed at Zhuang Xian through the sniper rifle¡¯s magnifying scope.


    In the next moment, he finally signaled the start of the war again. In these few short minutes, each of them was suffering.


    The person who the sniper targeted fell to the ground. The other side immediately fired back. With the drizzle, the gunshot rang out again.


    The sniper had succeeded in his attack. Just as he was about to change his position to continue sniping the enemy, a cold bullet pierced the side of his brain before he could get up. He was also ambushed, but he was not as lucky as Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian took a few deep breaths and tried her best to suppress the intense pam 111 ner arm.


    She pressed her left arm where the bullet had grazed. Red blood had already soaked her gloves and flowed out between her fingers.


    Zhang Tao looked at the injured Silente in a daze. He raised his hand to help Zhuang Xian apply pressure on her wound, but Zhuang Xian refused. It took him a long time to find his voice.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at him and said in a deep voice, ¡°Give me a hemostatic bandage. It¡¯s just a scratch. It¡¯s not very serious!¡±


    Zhang Tao nodded and calmed himself down. He immediately removed a bandage from his backpack and quickly bandaged Silente¡¯s wound.


    He licked his dry lips and asked, ¡°They still want to attack, but we don¡¯t have as many people as them. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t withstand their human wave tactics. What should we do, captain? Do you need me to do anything?¡±


    Zhuang Xian leaned against the cover and looked up at Zhang Tao. Her right hand, still holding the gun, pulled off the mask on her face.


    Her face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat was on her forehead. She said in a


    low voice, ¡°You must not panic now! I¡¯ve just taken care of the enemy sniper. You don¡¯t have to worry about him when you counterattack! Our main task now is to stall until the police reinforcements arrive!¡±


    As she said this, she sat up again. When she turned to look at the opposite side, she fired a few more shots into the distance. Two assassins fell to the ground, and the earth was immediately dyed red with blood.. It looked incredibly disgusting!

 Chapter 523 - Chapter 523: Chapter 523. Zhuang Xian Was Shot

    Chapter 523: Chapter 523. Zhuang Xian Was Shot


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhang Tao looked at Silente, who was in front of him. After a moment of silence, he nodded heavily. ¡± Yes, Leader! I know what to do!¡±


    His eyes were wet from the rain, and his eyes were stinging from the drizzle. If Silente hadn¡¯t pulled him back, the bullet would have ¡®kissed¡¯ his forehead instead of Silente¡¯s arm.


    Silente had saved his life. Her expression was calm and indifferent as if she was eating and drinking. It was as if protecting her subordinates was something she should do.


    This was Zhang Tao¡¯s first time going on a mission with Silente. During this battle, he once again had a clearer understanding of Silente¡¯s strength and unique charm.


    He couldn¡¯t blame his colleagues for liking Silente so much. She was indeed worth it.


    Many agents and assassins were in the Underworld Gate, and the number of outstanding ones could be counted on ten fingers. Silente becoming the leading agent and assassin among these great people was already a testament to her strength!


    However, these assassins from Country R were not to be trifled with. They were not weak, or their snipers would not have been able to hit Silente.


    The intense gunfight that was going on in the dark was going back and forth in the rain.


    Everything seemed to go according to Zhuang Xian¡¯s plan, but the situation was not so good on another battlefield that no one had noticed.


    The assistant MO Qian sent out earlier could have brought the bodyguards upstairs to help. However, when they boarded the helicopter on the roof of the MO Corporation building and were about to bypass the battlefield outside the gate and surround the enemy from behind, they suddenly bumped into another backup of the Japanese assassins in the air behind the building!


    They had thought of using helicopters to send assassins into the building. They wanted to attack from inside the building, bypass the protective circle that Zhuang Xian and the others had set up in front, reach the target, and hit it in one shot!


    If they got their way, wouldn¡¯t the Underworld Gate and the police in City H become a joke in the international assassin world?


    MO Qian¡¯s assistant couldn¡¯t think of this at the moment, but he knew he couldn¡¯t let these assassins succeed!


    Therefore, behind the MO Corporation¡¯s towering building, the two helicopters were engaged in a life-and-death battle in midair!


    To achieve their goal, these killers would do anything they could. They fired their heavy machine guns directly at the building and the other helicopter. They knew they had to achieve their goal no matter what kind of tragedy it would cause.


    When MO Qian¡¯s assistant saw that these killers had started to attack, his eyes immediately turned red. He instructed the pilot to adjust his position and tried to counterattack with the bodyguards around him.


    This assassination mission could no longer be considered an assassination. It would be more accurate to say that it was a terrorist attack.


    Zhuang Xian had done many assassination missions before, but she had never seen such a crazy and arrogant assassination! Was this still an assassination?


    If they met someone who didn¡¯t know about this, they would probably think that this was a fringe area where the order was chaotic, and the government didn¡¯t care!


    In short, these assassins were too presumptuous!


    The shooting incident in City H today would not be left unsettled. Xiao Ting seemed to envisage whelming news and public opinion that would follow. As the chief of the nolice station. he didn¡¯t need MO Oian to order him to step down. If he couldn¡¯t clean up this mess, he could pack up and resign!


    Too many things had happened today. It seemed like centuries had passed, but it was only 15 minutes!


    If this were any other time, the police would have come to support them several times!


    However, until now, no police had rushed over. This made the staff in the MO


    Corporation building panic. Everyone began to gather in the lobby downstairs..

 Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Chapter 524. The Crowd Has Lost Control?

    Chapter 524: Chapter 524. The Crowd Has Lost Control?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The company¡¯s managers were about to break the phone in MO Qian¡¯s suit pocket. From then until now, the phone has not stopped vibrating!


    The helicopter¡¯s wings tore through the air, and the heavy machine gun swept across the glass walls of the building. This movement scared the employees in the building, and everyone covered their heads and fled!


    For a moment, cries for help and exclamations rang out. The people on the floors that had been shot through began to run for help!


    MO Qian naturally heard the commotion. He looked up at the hall¡¯s ceiling on the first floor and frowned.


    He slowly tightened his grip on the gun in his hand. A few glimmers flashed across his dark eyes, but they were fleeting, and no one noticed.


    The security guard who ran over from the elevator door in the lobby looked at


    MO Qian in the crowd with a terrified expression. He reported anxiously, ¡°President MO! The assassins are flying helicopters, trying to break through the glass walls of the building and attacking from upstairs! They are now entangled with the company¡¯s helicopter! We can¡¯t go on like this. What should we do, President MO? I still have a few children at home who need me to care for them. I can¡¯t die here!


    Think of a way, President MO!¡±


    As the security guard spoke, he seemed to have just noticed Xiao Ting, who was beside Fang Dong.


    He had seen Xiao Ting on the news in City H before, so he rushed over with red eyes and grabbed Xiao Ting¡¯s arm. He excitedly said, ¡°Chief Xiao, it¡¯s great you¡¯re here! You must think of a way to save us. None of us want to die! The police¡­Why can¡¯t I see any police coming to support us? How long has it been?


    Even if they went around to the West Fifth Ring Road, they should be here by now. Where are your people at the police station? Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t care about our lives anymore?¡±


    Xiao Ting¡¯s arm was numb from the security guard¡¯s grasp, and he was even more flustered.


    He swallowed his saliva in vain, not knowing how to answer. This was what everyone in the hall wanted to know.


    ¡°Immediately¡­They will be here soon! They are almost here! Don¡¯t panic first, and don¡¯t panic, everyone! I will handle this matter well. I will do my best to protect everyone¡¯s lives!


    The police station won¡¯t ignore everyone. I, Xiao Ting, will stand here with everyone today!¡± Xiao Ting finally found his voice and told everyone in a deep voice.


    Even so, the crowd was still discussing.


    Everyone had eyes. Without police support, how could the few police officers in the hall protect so many people? Xiao Ting was lying. He could not do such a thing!


    ¡°Bullsh * t! Xiao Ting, you only know how to say hypocritical and unrealistic words. Who the f*ck wants to advance and retreat with you? We want to go home safely!¡±


    ¡°Did you hear the gunshots outside? What are you doing as police chief? Is this how the public security in City H is? Do we pay so much tax to support people like you? Where are our police officers?¡±


    ¡°When we need you, where are our government and police? Where have they been? Where¡¯s the mayor? It¡¯s been almost half an hour. Isn¡¯t there anyone to take care of such a big matter?¡±


    In the past 20 minutes, the people who had had enough of the shock and panic had begun to lose control. They began to question Xiao Ting loudly.


    It was as if if Xiao Ting couldn¡¯t give them the answer they wanted in the next second, they would gang up on him and drown Xiao Ting, the useless police chief, with their saliva!


    Noticing that everyone was unusually agitated, Xiao Ting¡¯s nerves tensed up even more. He looked around at the few men who had just spoken, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and then waved to signal everyone to calm down. ¡°I can understand everyone¡¯s feelings! But let¡¯s calm down first, okay?


    I promise all of you now! Our police force will arrive soon! We¡¯ll all be okay. The mayor just called me. He said that he would arrange this matter and would never let anything happen to any of us! Please believe in the mayor and me first. We ¡­.¡±

 Chapter 525 - Chapter 525: Chapter 525. Plane Crash, Explosion

    Chapter 525: Chapter 525. Plane Crash, Explosion


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Perhaps it was to slap Xiao Ting in the face. Just as he said, he would ensure everyone¡¯s safety, a helicopter suddenly crashed in the middle of the square outside the entrance of the MO Corporation Hall!


    The helicopter¡¯s body was tilted to the side, almost scraping the ground as it flew out!


    The still-spinning wings crazily swept up the objects and tiles on the ground. The ear-piercing friction and roar struck everyone¡¯s eardrums.


    The hall fell into a deathly silence!


    MO Qian quickly turned around and looked. Before he could find the familiar figure, the helicopter that had crashed to the ground exploded!


    The sound of the explosion seemed to pierce through the curtain of rain. MO Ye and Zhuang Bai felt the ground beneath their feet tremble like an earthquake.


    Everyone in the hall widened their eyes and looked outside, trying to see what was happening. They still didn¡¯t know if the people on the plane were their people or enemies!


    After the explosion slowly died down, the helicopter¡¯s engine and nose quickly burst into flames again. Even though it was still drizzling, it did not affect the fire!


    Zhang Tao turned his body slightly and revealed Silente in his arms.


    The rain wet Zhang Tao¡¯s eyes. His ears were numb from the explosion, and he could not hear anything.


    ¡°Team Leader Silente! Deputy team leader? How are you two? Can you still move?¡±


    ¡°Cover! Everyone, cover! Let¡¯s retreat first!¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t an enemy helicopter that crashed! Everyone, be careful of your heads! Retreat quickly!¡±


    Zhuang Xian was not any better than Zhang Tao. She endured the pain from her wound and raised her uninjured right hand to pat her numb ear.


    The rain landed on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face impatiently. She regained her senses and quickly looked around.


    Even though she still couldn¡¯t hear anything clearly, she quickly reacted. The helicopter that crashed and exploded was MO Qian¡¯s bodyguards. The assassins shot them down on the opposite side!


    The location of the helicopter crash was too unfortunate. It crashed into Zhuang Xian¡¯s camp. If it weren¡¯t for Zhuang Xian and Zhang Tao¡¯s quick reaction, they would have been burned along with the helicopter.


    As she was being supported by the few remaining team members and retreated into the MO Corporation hall, Zhuang Xian raised her hand to pull up her mask. She did not want to be recognized by her father and brothers in the hall!


    Of course, Zhuang Xian did not forget that MO Qian had already recognized her. She did not care.


    She was sure that MO Qian would keep her secret! She even thought that MO Qian would have to cover for her if anything happened later!


    Zhuang Xian was right. When the seven of them retreated into the hall, MO Qian¡¯s gaze at her was not right.


    Fortunately, MO Qian still resisted the urge to step forward. He did not even turn his head and shouted at Xiao Ting, ¡°Hurry up and block it! Cover them and retreat! ¡±


    MO Qian didn¡¯t need to instruct him specifically. The few policemen waiting beside Fang Dong saw this posture and immediately raised their guns to meet him. They had better eyesight than Xiao Ting!


    They pushed back the ¡®little tail¡¯ that was biting at the back of Zhuang Xian¡¯s team and used the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to suppress the enemy¡¯s advance!


    Zhuang Xian leaned against the bulletproof glass of the door and pushed away the team members beside her. She pointed at Zhang Tao, who was lying behind her and signaled them to check on Zhang Tao¡¯s condition first.


    Earlier, Zhang Tao had helped her block the explosion of the helicopter. She didn¡¯t know if he had suffered internal injuries from the impact.


    Zhuang Xian sat down and calmed herself down. She raised her hand and nimbly reloaded the submachine gun. When the enemy appeared again and wanted to break in, she and the police officers squatted and gave the enemy fierce firepower coverage.. The enemy was like a turtle that shrank back into its shell!

    Chapter 526: Chapter 526. Withdraw to The Hall


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    After the battle just now, not only did the Underworld Gate suffer heavy losses, but the enemy also did not have many people left!


    Even the helicopter above them with heavy machine guns seemed to have lost its fire.


    Zhuang Xian did not know the reason for its failure to fire, but she heaved a sigh of relief. Without the helicopter¡¯s fire support, they had less pressure to fight.


    These killers were like a group of bloodthirsty poisonous insects. After smelling the smell of blood, they pounced on them without care and wanted to bite them.


    When Zhuang Xian confronted them just now, she was already annoyed!


    She felt that these people were not simple killers. Instead, they were more like a group of crazy and terrifying terrorists. Zhuang Xian could make such an inference from their violent and violent fighting style.


    The mission she had accepted this time was a little strange. Not only was Xiao Ting cooperating with them, but there was a fatal and stupid mistake in their tactics. Moreover, the information given by the sect about the enemy was very different from the actual situation!


    These were the reasons why the mission was so difficult and tragic.


    The people in the hall were frightened by the gunfight that was so close to them. Their bodies trembled, and they did not dare to speak anymore.


    They crouched in the hall and looked up occasionally at the female captain of the special forces squatting at the door.


    Yes, it was! After the series of commands and the cool counterattack, they could all tell that this slender and graceful woman was the special forces leader!


    She seemed to be more capable and reliable than Bureau Chief Xiao. At least she and her team members were doing real things.


    Unlike this Bureau Chief Xiao didn¡¯t speak the truth and only knew how to lie to everyone. The reinforcements he mentioned still hadn¡¯t arrived!


    After emptying another clip, Zhuang Xian leaned back against the glass wall.


    She took a few deep breaths. Her injured left arm was still bleeding.


    MO Qian and Zhuang Xian met each other¡¯s eyes in mid-air, two meters away in the hall.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s ears still hadn¡¯t recovered. She couldn¡¯t hear what MO Qian said clearly. It seemed that her eyes could only accommodate one MO Qian. She only felt that this scene was incredibly profound and meaningful.


    The look in MO Qian¡¯s eyes shocked her. She was suddenly worried that MO Qian would be unable to control himself and come over to take care of her injuries!


    Because MO Qian¡¯s eyes had already turned red as if he was going to go crazy in the next moment!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s intuition was not wrong. She did not know that her fragile appearance had pierced MO Qian¡¯s heart. It was tough for MO Qian to remain calm and rational.


    If it weren¡¯t for his desire to help Zhuang Xian keep her secret, MO Qian would have rushed over without caring about anything and stayed by her side to ask about her well-being! Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries, MO Qian¡¯s heart was a mess.


    Zhuang Xian frowned slightly and signaled MO Qian not to come over.


    In this situation, it was unsuitable for them to communicate too much.


    The Zhuang family¡¯s father and son, as well as MO Ye, were not stupid people. They only needed to think about MO Qian¡¯s usual calm and unapproachable personality. They could guess Zhuang Xian¡¯s true identity from MO Qian¡¯s special treatment of this female warrior!


    MO Qian naturally understood the meaning in Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes. MO Qian also understood that this was not a good time to go up and acknowledge Zhuang Xian!


    The current situation was already complicated and dangerous enough. To avoid any more complications and other uncontrollable things, the best thing to do now was not to let anyone know Zhuang Xian¡¯s true identity.


    MO Qian could only pretend that the two of them did not know each other at all. On this battlefield, they were just protectors and protectees.


    However, for his inability to do anything, MO Qian was very anxious. He was apprehensive about Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries and wanted to take her back immediately and ask her in detail..

    The rain had soaked Zhuang Xian¡¯s clothes. The wound on her left arm was tightly bandaged. The bright red stung MO Qian¡¯s eyes.


    He let out a deep sigh. His heart ached, but he also felt a little helpless.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s left hand had been through a lot recently. She had dislocated it during military training not long ago, and today, she was shot.


    When MO Qian looked at Zhuang Xian in silence, MO Ye noticed that he was acting strangely.


    MO Ye put down her hand protecting her head and looked at Zhuang Xian.


    She looked at the woman, then at her brother, who seemed haunted by something. She gently patted MO Qian¡¯s leg and squatted on the ground. She looked up at MO Qian¡¯s side profile and asked softly, ¡°What are you looking at? Is the female captain really that good-looking? Where do you put our Zhuang Xian?¡±


    As she spoke, she did not notice the helplessness in MO Qian¡¯s eyes. When she wanted to say something more, Zhuang Bai interrupted her.


    Zhuang Bai looked at her gently and said, ¡°Now is not the time to discuss this. Let¡¯s think of a way to save ourselves first! I keep feeling that Xiao Ting¡¯s words are a little unreliable!¡±


    As Zhuang Bai spoke, he turned to look at the female warrior by the door. She was his sister, Zhuang Xian. However, he did not know about this at the moment.


    Zhuang Bai thought about it and continued,¡± Many members of their special forces team have already died in battle just now. They won¡¯t be able to hold on for long! Xiao Ting can¡¯t be relied on, and the special forces team has already done its best. We still have to rely on ourselves to complete the rest!


    The assistants you just sent out have also died but they didn¡¯t die in vain. The enemy¡¯s helicopter seemed to have some problems when fighting with them just now! If those assassins did not land in an emergency, what awaited them would only be a plane crash and death! Your assistant and your bodyguards have done us a good deed. This allowed the special forces team that protected us to heave a sigh of relief!


    Don¡¯t be too sad. After we get out, you can comfort their families!¡± Zhuang Bai¡¯s expression turned serious.


    Zhuang Bai thought MO Qian was depressed because the men he had sent to break out of the encirclement had all gone. That was why he comforted MO Qian like this.


    Zhuang Bai naturally did not know that what he said was not the root cause of MO Qian¡¯s silence and unhappiness.


    Most of MO Qian¡¯s heart was still on Zhuang Xian, but he also understood what the crash meant. After listening to Zhuang Bai¡¯s words, he nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.


    He sighed heavily and turned to Zhuang Bai.¡± I understand what you mean. Let¡¯s not talk about these things for now. The most important thing at the moment is to slow down the speed of their attack and ensure everyone¡¯s safety to the greatest extent! I didn¡¯t just send my assistant out to do something to break out of the encirclement.¡±


    As MO Qian spoke, he suddenly seemed to have sensed something. He glanced at his watch, took a deep breath, and said hoarsely, ¡°30 minutes? It looks like I have to raise my expectations of them in the future.¡±


    As MO Qian finished speaking, intense gunshots suddenly came outside the door!


    Zhuang Xian used her excellent eyesight to realize that these elite mercenaries were friends and not enemies!


    A glint flashed across her eyes as she said excitedly, ¡°Reinforcements! They are here to help us! Those who can breathe, hold on. It¡¯s time for us to counterattack! Everyone, follow up! Charge!¡±


    Zhuang Xian gestured for them to move forward. She took the lead and walked in front of the team. She pointed the submachine gun in her hand at the assassins dodging outside. She shot them individually as long as they showed their heads or walked in disorder.


    With the sudden appearance of this mercenary group, the situation changed drastically. The assassins suppressing Zhuang Xian and the others were now under attack from both sides..

    They were surrounded and cleaned up by people from both sides. Very soon, they were in chaos and were defeated!


    Their leader was shouting in R language that no one could understand. He looked highly exasperated.


    He was still holding a gun in his hand but was in a sorry state. He was still fighting and retreating.


    The terrifying killer, who was arrogant just now, was now like a wild dog being chased away, running away with his tail between his legs.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were calm. She was fearless of the impact of the drizzle in front of her. In the continuous rain, she used bullets to mercilessly harvest the lives of these assassins who had already begun to flee in all directions! She was like a phantom.


    The remaining five members of the Underworld Gate team followed Silente closely. Their auras were shocking, like a black blade stabbing at the hearts of the assassins.


    They vented all the grievances and depression they had suffered in the previous half an hour on these people and wanted to take back the lives of those who had just died in the battle!


    They no longer needed Silente to give them orders. Even if they were injured, they had to charge forward and kill these terrorists to avenge their fallen teammates!


    The leader of this group of mercenaries was a very tall and strong man. He also led the way and rushed to the front of the team. Looking at the fearless and fierce agents running out of the hall, doubts slowly emerged in his heart!


    Was this what Mr. MO¡¯s subordinate said when he called for help? Were they already unable to resist the enemy¡¯s suppression?


    These agents looked much fiercer than the mercenaries!


    With this confusion, he approached them and suggested through the thin curtain of rain, ¡°As for the rest of them, I¡¯ll bring some people to chase after them! You guys are injured, so you should go back and rest!¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know him. She knew he was MO Qian¡¯s helper, so she looked up at him and asked, ¡°Are you the person MO Qian asked to help? Then why didn¡¯t you rush over to protect him before?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she seemed to realize that her question was unnecessary. She retracted her gaze and continued, ¡°You can go! Don¡¯t let any of them escape. If possible, it¡¯s best to bring their leader back alive! I think Mr. MO would like to meet this lunatic!¡±


    Perhaps it was because Zhuang Xian¡¯s leadership aura was too strong, but after the leader listened to Zhuang Xian¡¯s suggestions or instructions, he did not find it strange at all. He subconsciously obeyed Zhuang Xian¡¯s instructions and turned around to lead his subordinates to start the final clearing!


    This intense battle in a stalemate for half an hour finally ended when MO Qian¡¯s mercenaries arrived.


    Zhuang Xian looked away from their departing backs and slowly put down the gun in her hand. She took a few deep breaths through the special mask on her face.


    Zhuang Xian gestured for her team members to stop. ¡°Today¡¯s mission is over! Go to the hall and bring Zhang Tao with you. Let¡¯s retreat!¡±


    Zhang Tao¡¯s injury was quite serious. They had to hurry up and send Zhang Tao to the hospital. If they were any later, Zhuang Xian was worried that Zhang Tao¡¯s condition would be terrible.


    However, the agents standing beside Zhuang Xian all fell silent.


    One of the team members looked up at Zhuang Xian and asked hesitantly, ¡°Then, is our mission today considered a success? We sacrificed nine members, and even the deputy leader was seriously injured. Are we going to let go of those who are dragging us down? What is Xiao Ting going to use to repay us today?¡±


    As the team member spoke, his eyes were already red. He raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face and looked at Zhuang Xian stubbornly. He choked and said, ¡°Today, even if the God of Heaven comes, Xiao Ting will have to give us an explanation! Otherwise, I definitely won¡¯t let him off! He made such a low-level mistake.. Why should we pay for it?¡±

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°So many of our brothers died fighting the enemy. Where are his police officers? Why haven¡¯t they arrived yet? Are they deliberately playing with us? He must bear the main responsibility for today¡¯s matter!¡±


    Zhuang Xian had been quietly listening to her team member. She looked up at him indifferently, seeing that he was finally willing to stop. ¡°Are you done?


    What about you guys?¡±


    As she spoke, she looked around at the people around her. Seeing they were still unconvinced, she frowned and asked, ¡°Is this your first day on a mission? What are the rules of the sect? Do you need me to repeat them for you?


    What do you want now? Are you going to kill Xiao Ting to vent the anger of our dead brothers? Xiao Ting is indeed stupid, but he is not our enemy! The enemy of our mission this time is those assassins from Japan! Xiao Ting is not worth our anger. He will take responsibility for the mistake he made today!


    What we need to do is to remember to do our mission well! All of us are special agents of the Underworld Gate, and we shoulder the expectations of the sect, so we should be more professional and rational!


    Leave the rest to the organization. We should trust the sect master. He won¡¯t let us suffer such a loss for nothing! When I return, I will report this matter to him! The government and the police should give our team an explanation and compensation. They can¡¯t avoid it! Let¡¯s go back.¡±


    After hearing Silente¡¯s words, the agents of the Underworld Gate lowered their heads silently.


    How could they not understand Silente¡¯s reasoning? It was just that there was too much grievance and anger in his heart, so he could not help but vent some


    of it.


    Bullets on the battlefield were merciless. For people like them, no one could be sure if they could escape unscathed from the next mission!


    Therefore, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time. However, this did not mean they would want to die on such an extremely sullen mission!


    This was a foolproof and quick mission. As long as everyone cooperated well, they could quickly eliminate these killers.


    However, it just so happened that there was an idiotic Xiao Ting. He disrupted everyone¡¯s deployment with his strength, making the already challenging mission even more difficult.


    It was Xiao Ting¡¯s low-level mistake that caused today¡¯s tragedy. Therefore, they were indignant and wanted an explanation from Xiao Ting! How could this not make them angry?


    Zhuang Xian naturally understood these principles, so she spoke to comfort these depressed and disheveled agents. At the same time, she was also comforting herself.


    The battlefield and bullets could be ruthless, but there must be true love between these comrades so that they would not be cold.


    When they returned to the hall and wanted to pick up Zhang Tao, the door was filled with people.


    MO Qian was still the most eye-catching person in the crowd, and Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze was uncontrollably falling on him.


    After a long while, Zhuang Xian regained her senses. She collected her emotions and walked towards another person in the crowd.


    She stood in front of Fang Dong. Zhuang Xian raised her hand and gave a standard military salute. ¡°Hello, Minister Fang. I am the captain of the special agent team of the Death Gate team under the Underworld Gate. My code name is Silente. Those terrorists from Japan were all repelled by the combined forces of the Underworld Gate and the mercenary group that had just arrived!


    ¡°Other than a few killers still on the run, all have been executed! The mission of the Underworld Gate has been completed, so we¡¯ll take our leave now! If we have time another day, our sect master will visit you.


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she did not forget to glance at Xiao Ting coldly.


    Her dark and cold gaze made Xiao Ting feel a chill. His body trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a stiff smile. Then, he nodded politely and did not dare to say anything. He naturally knew what his mistake was..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    This time, the Underworld Sect suffered heavy losses, and the main reason for this was him!


    Fang Dong looked at Silente with a heavy heart, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. He smiled and said, ¡°I understand what you mean. I will give your sect master a good explanation for today¡¯s major battle accident! As for the members you sacrificed, I will make appropriate arrangements! It¡¯s been hard on you guys today. The consequences would have been unimaginable if you hadn¡¯t resisted with all your might! Our project this time is significant. We can¡¯t let the enemy kill us in the cradle before we even start. You guys have contributed greatly!¡±


    After Fang Dong finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian ducked sideways. ¡°What are you talking about, Minister Fang? We just did our job well. It¡¯s not a big contribution, let alone an indispensable contribution! As for Minister Fang¡¯s good intentions, I thank you on behalf of my team members. I¡¯ll take them home, so there¡¯s no need for Minister Fang to worry. Goodbye! ¡±


    After Zhuang Xian finished speaking, she looked at Fang Dong indifferently and turned to leave. Her back looked a little unreasonable and arrogant!


    However, she was stopped by an unusually familiar and gentle voice before she could take a few steps.


    Seeing Zhuang Xian walk straight to Fang Dong and report something to him, a strange emotion emerged in MO Qian¡¯s heart. He gently raised his eyebrows and stared at Zhuang Xian without moving. He felt as if he had been ignored.


    MO Qian noticed something else when he kept looking at Zhuang Xian. For example, when Fang Dong and Xiao Ting faced Zhuang Xian, their expressions were not very good. For example, Zhuang Xian¡¯s attitude towards these two people did not seem friendly. The atmosphere between them did not seem very good.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian was about to leave, MO Qian subconsciously stopped her. ¡°Wait! That ¡­


    As MO Qian spoke, he seemed to realize this action was inappropriate and froze slightly. The people around him sized him up with their eyes as if they were puzzled by MO Qian¡¯s actions.


    MO Qian felt a little helpless in his heart. After his clever brain quickly turned around, he smiled and added, ¡°Your gun is still with me. I¡¯ll return it to you!


    Thank you for saving me just now!¡±


    Zhuang Xian paused in her steps when she heard that. She took a deep breath and gestured for her team members to leave first, but she stopped where she was.


    MO Qian, who had been watching her, immediately moved his wheelchair towards her.


    Zhuang Xian was standing outside the door of the hall. The fine drizzle fell on her face and her wet eyelashes. She looked pitiful and miserable.


    She stood still in the rain, waiting for MO Qian to come out the door and stop before her. Then, she heard MO Qian¡¯s low and sad voice.


    ¡°You¡¯re going back to Blue Eagle Base today. Your injuries¡­l¡¯ll come over to see you at night. You should be fine by yourself first!¡±


    MO Qian said this in a deep voice. He raised his hand and handed the gun to Zhuang Xian. He quietly hooked Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand with his index finger. The gentleness and heartache in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression, which was hidden behind the mask, froze. Her eyes, which were exposed, also looked at MO Qian¡¯s face.


    They looked at each other in the rain, and a group of confused spectators stood behind them.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly. There were many things hidden in her eyes. She seemed to have a lot of things to tell MO Qian, but the next moment, she was interrupted by MO Ye and Zhuang Bai, who were walking over with umbrellas!


    MO Ye looked at the wet areas on MO Qian¡¯s body and frowned. She said softly, ¡°It¡¯s raining so heavily. Why are you in such a hurry? How can the heroine just run away?¡±


    After speaking, she looked up at the ¡®heroine¡¯ she was talking about. She raised her hand and handed over an umbrella. She smiled and explained, ¡°I don¡¯t think the rain will stop.. It will probably get heavier! Take the umbrella, hero!¡±

    Looking at the drenched woman in front of her, the smile on MO Ye¡¯s face faded a little. ¡°Although the umbrella is useless now, it¡¯s better than nothing! Thank you for saving so many of us today! Thank you!¡±


    As MO Ye spoke, she bowed slightly to Zhuang Xian.


    When she was in the hall just now, she had seen how Zhuang Xian stood in front of everyone with her own eyes. She had also seen the injuries on their bodies and the heroes who had sacrificed themselves in the battle just now! She was sincerely grateful to these people!


    Zhuang Xian felt helpless when she heard MO Ye call her a hero. However, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.


    She did not reply, afraid that MO Ye and Zhuang Bai would recognize her if she opened her mouth. Of course, she was also scared of Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang, who were standing behind them.


    Zhuang Xian glanced at MO Ye, then at Zhuang Bai, who had been staring at her silently. She felt a little guilty.


    She retracted her gaze, nodded at MO Qian, and turned to leave!


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t take the umbrella from MO Ye¡¯s hand. She looked a little guilty and anxious as she walked away.


    MO Ye heaved a sigh of relief and laughed in her heart. She felt that Zhuang Xian was extremely cute at this moment.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t she want my umbrella? Were her eyes smiling just now?¡± MO Ye, who had her hands slightly raised, asked in confusion.


    She subconsciously turned around, hoping to get an answer from Zhuang Bai. However, she realized that Zhuang Bai had been staring at the back of the heroine as she left!


    MO Ye blinked and looked away at MO Qian in the wheelchair. Just as she was about to continue expressing her doubts, she saw a faint smile on MO Qian¡¯s lips.


    ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± she asked in surprise. ¡°Are you stupid?¡±


    MO Qian returned to his senses and quickly retracted the smile on his face. He explained, ¡°No, let¡¯s hurry back! I still have a lot of things to deal with!¡± As he spoke, he turned his wheelchair around and moved toward MO Xi, who was lying in the hall.


    At 12:45, the police force, who had been late for more than half an hour, finally arrived at the entrance of the MO Corporation Building.


    Xiao Ting didn¡¯t know what to say anymore. He quickly called out to the police officers and began to treat the injured personnel and police officers on the scene.


    He knew that he had become a complete joke today. As the chief of Police, he was like a decoration!


    Fang Dong leaned against a wooden chair in the hall, looking at Xiao Ting¡¯s busy back with a gloomy face. The anger accumulated in his heart was no less than anyone else¡¯s.


    Xiao Ting had let him down. If it weren¡¯t for the persistent resistance of the special agent team of the Underworld Gate, he would probably have gone to hell by now.


    However, it was not the right time to pursue responsibility and trial. Fang Dong had to think carefully in front of many people and police officers.


    After all, by protecting Xiao Ting, he was temporarily protecting the government¡¯s reputation.


    MO Qian looked at the police officer beside him. After helping him send MO Xi to the ambulance, his gloomy expression and aura made him look like a god of death.


    Zhuang Ming stood beside him and thought for a moment before comforting him, ¡°I think MO Xi just fainted from excessive blood loss. We managed to stop his bleeding in time just now, so his life shouldn¡¯t be in danger! Don¡¯t be too anxious. There are still many things waiting for you to handle here!¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he looked at MO Qian worriedly. He returned to his senses when the mayor was only a few steps away from them.


    In fact, not only did Zhuang Ming not notice Tian Zhen¡¯s arrival, but even Zhuang Hang, standing beside them, did not see the mayor walk over. Only when Tian Zhen spoke to MO Qian they realized that this person was Mayor Tian!


    ¡°Nephew MO Qian! My good nephew, I¡¯m relieved to see that you¡¯re fine! Do you know how anxious I was when I received the news in my office that the MO Corporation had been attacked? How could I face the old lady and MO Wei if something really happened to you? Fortunately, you¡¯re fine!¡±


    Tian Zhen quickly walked before MO Qian and even squeezed past the assistants beside MO Qian. When he opened his mouth, he said highly excited and gratified words..

    Chapter 532: Chapter 532. Not Giving Face


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When Tian Zhen saw MO Qian looking up at him, the expression in his eyes was unclear, making Tian Zhen feel a little guilty. He pretended to smile and asked, ¡°How are you? Are you injured?¡±


    ¡°Mayor Tian, just call me by my name! After all, this is a public place. If you call me anything else, it will easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings!¡± MO Qian replied indifferently.


    His eyes looked at the media reporters gathered behind Tian Zhen. His eyes were cold and gloomy.


    After glancing at those people, he once again looked at Tian Zhen, standing before him, and added, ¡°Don¡¯t mention that name in front of me. I¡¯m not familiar with him and even less familiar with you! I don¡¯t care what you want to do today. You¡¯d better stay away from the MO Corporation and me! Please don¡¯t put your dirty thoughts in front of me. I can¡¯t stand it.¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s impolite attitude stunned Tian Zhen.


    He looked down at the young man in the wheelchair, and the smile on his face became forced. However, he still forced himself to stay calm. He stood up straight and said in a deep voice, ¡°Yes, yes! I said something wrong. MO Qian, don¡¯t take offense. I¡¯m also very sad that such a thing happened today. But don¡¯t worry; I will take full responsibility for this matter. We will also compensate you for all your MO Corporation¡¯s losses! Our government will not mistreat MO Corporation!¡±


    ¡°However, the premise for us to do all this is that you have to cooperate with me, whether on the surface or in private! Moreover, it would be best to keep it a secret from the outside world. The real reason why the MO Corporation was attacked today. I believe that with your intelligence, you should now understand the power of this relationship. You know what you have to do, right?¡±


    After Tian Zhen finished speaking, he stretched his hand towards MO Qian and looked at MO Qian with a fixed gaze as if he was waiting for a critical answer.


    MO Qian might have given Tian Zhen a way out for Grandma Mo¡¯s sake if it was in the past. However, MO Qian was unwilling to accompany Tian Zhen in acting!


    These government officials were very good at putting on such superficial appearances, but none seemed to be doing anything practical!


    If Tian Zhen cared about MO Qian and the MO Corporation, he would not have rushed to the scene at this time. He even came later than the police. As far as MO Qian knew, the journey from the city government to the MO Corporation building would not take more than 20 minutes.


    Mayor Tian was late for so long, but he still had to maintain the image of a noble, virtuous, and loving person!


    MO Qian didn¡¯t want to cooperate with him in doing these fake things. He just wanted Mayor Tian to do his job and stay away from him.


    He was in a terrible mood today and did not want to waste any extra energy or expression with Tian Zhen or Fang Dong.


    Ignoring Tian Zhen¡¯s stiff hand suspended before him, MO Qian controlled the wheelchair and bypassed Tian Zhen. He even moved out of the crowd of reporters fearlessly.


    MO Ye held the umbrella for MO Qian and followed beside him.


    Zhuang Ming saw that MO Qian had left, so he followed suit and left the place, leaving behind the scene of Tian Zhen and the reporters awkwardly huddling together.


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang were two strong adult men. They consciously joined the rescue team with the other police officers and medical staff at the scene.


    When they saw MO Qian and MO Ye, who had sent them out, return, they stopped what they were doing.


    Zhuang Bai looked at the strange expression on MO Ye¡¯s face and as ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why do you look so unhappy?¡±


    MO Ye glanced at MO Qian and sighed softly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just t met some very self-righteous and arrogant fools. I don¡¯t like them either.


    Hearing MO Ye¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang subconsciously looked at Mo Qian.


    Zhuang Bai frowned slightly. He knew that he would not get an answer from


    MO Qian, so he turned to look at Zhuang Ming..

    Chapter 533: Chapter 533. Scolding


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Ming sighed imperceptibly and shook his head gently at him, indicating that this matter was very complicated and could not be explained clearly now.


    When Zhuang Ming faced these government officials, he was somewhat fearful, but MO Ye did not care.


    She glanced at MO Qian¡¯s indifferent expression and felt very indignant for MO Qian. She said indignantly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with these government officials?


    They were the ones who begged others to do things, but in the end, they were the ones who felt superior! Why? Could it be that we asked for it when the MO Clan suffered such a disaster today? Or did I misunderstand what they meant yesterday? They¡¯re not begging MO Qian to take on this project but doing him a favor.


    With such a pitifully low IQ and EQ can he be a good mayor? I doubt the authenticity of this matter! Correcting their position and attitude was the prerequisite for a person to do something well. This should be the most basic common sense. Why can¡¯t they understand this?¡±


    The more MO Ye spoke, the angrier she became. She was like a balloon!


    As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something. After laughing for a


    moment, she continued, ¡°In that case, the cooperation project with Doug Group is a hot potato that deserves to be despised by everyone. It¡¯s also a big problem that will make one be easily assassinated and warned by the enemy! No wonder Xiao Ting emphasized yesterday that only MO Corporation could take on this project. So this was the reason behind it! It¡¯s not just the MO Corporation that has such strength and qualifications. It¡¯s clearly because no one dares to accept it, so it¡¯s forced into MO Qian¡¯s hands!¡±


    It had to be said that MO Ye was also a brilliant person. She followed closely behind MO Qian and was the second to understand this matter.


    However, after understanding this, she felt even more depressed.


    MO Qian had been treated as a sucker who needed to be responsible for his profits and losses and protect his own life!


    How could MO Ye be in a good mood when she saw her younger brother being bullied like this?


    She threw the umbrella she had held for a long time to her assistant standing at the side and said, ¡°I think we should just tell them the truth. We won¡¯t take on this project either. He can find whoever he wants. This is only the first meeting between us; these assassins have already mobilized so many people. If the project starts in the future, won¡¯t MO Qian have to worry about his life every two or three days? Our family has been doing business for generations, but we don¡¯t want to earn money we can¡¯t spend!¡±


    MO Ye¡¯s thoughts represented the views of most people on this matter. No one wanted to live a life of being watched by assassins daily. No one wanted to earn money that they could not spend!


    MO Ye¡¯s words were rough but not unreasonable. She was thinking about this matter from MO Qian¡¯s and the MO family¡¯s perspectives.


    The MO Corporation would not starve to death just because they had missed out on this project, nor would they be unable to survive in the entire business circle!


    On the contrary, if MO Qian did not participate in this dangerous project, the MO Corporation could reduce a lot of trouble. MO Qian¡¯s safety could also be further guaranteed.


    They knew very little about the background of these assassins. MO Ye was unsure if this were their last assassination attempt on MO Qian.


    Therefore, MO Ye suggested rejecting the government¡¯s cooperation invitation to avoid this danger better. This was because if the risk of a matter were too high, it would easily cause a lot of accidents and uncertainties, which also increased the difficulty of completing the matter.


    If MO Qian didn¡¯t have complete confidence and assurance, MO Ye felt it would be better to escape as soon as possible.


    MO Qian naturally understood the meaning behind MO Ye¡¯s words. He listened to MO Ye¡¯s complaints in silence because he already had an idea and a plan.


    MO Qian was not the kind of person who would retreat in the face of difficulties.. On the contrary, he liked to accept some very challenging things!

 Chapter 534 - Chapter 534: Chapter 534. The ‘Conspiracy’ is FarReaching

    Chapter 534: Chapter 534. The ¡®Conspiracy¡¯ is FarReaching


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    To strategize and give pointers under challenging situations was MO Qian¡¯s style of doing things. He felt that life was more interesting when faced with difficulties.


    Standing beside MO Qian, Zhuang Ming had the same thoughts as MO Qian. He knew that this project was a scarce opportunity. If MO Qian could take the lead and participate, Ming En Group, which he controlled, could also get a piece of the cake.


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s thoughts were not greedy. He wanted to use the MO Corporation¡¯s glory to bring Ming En to this big project. It would naturally be best if it could succeed, but it did not matter if it did not. The business was initially obtained through negotiation!


    Only by taking the initiative would there be a story in many things.


    MO Qian was also aware of Zhuang Ming¡¯s intentions and plans. He would let the Zhuang family rely on him to climb up! He even tacitly approved of Zhuang Ming¡¯s actions.


    Firstly, he liked Zhuang Ming¡¯s personality and style of doing things. Secondly, MO Qian¡¯s ¡®scheme¡¯ towards Zhuang Xian was far-reaching. How could he not plan for the future?


    He could be considered to have learned the skill to please his future father-in-law without a teacher!


    As he was thinking about all these messy things, MO Qian did not notice that a few uninvited guests had already walked behind them. They happened to be the people MO Ye did not want to see the most.


    After receiving Tian Zhen¡¯s signal, Fang Dong pretended to clear his throat. When he saw the person beside MO Qian turn his head and look over, he smiled and said, ¡°Bureau Chief Xiao has been overseeing the cleaning up of the battlefield. I think everyone has been frightened today. We can postpone today¡¯s meeting for a while. I¡¯ve already asked my assistant to reserve a table on the first floor of City H¡¯s top restaurant to calm everyone down. We can go over and eat now!¡±


    Fang Dong said, but his eyes were fixed on MO Qian in the crowd. As long as MO Qian was willing to nod, there was still room for discussion. It was not that they did not hear what MO Ye said just now, but even if they did, they had to pretend not to listen. They could not miss out on MO Qian, the best choice.


    MO Qian naturally heard Fang Dong¡¯s suggestion but was not in a hurry to reply. He indifferently turned the ring on his little finger, and no one knew what he was thinking.


    MO Qian was still positioned in the ruins of the MO Corporation building as if the company that terrorists had just attacked was not his company.


    MO Qian didn¡¯t say anything, but MO Ye, who was in charge of receiving the government officials, couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore.


    The corners of her lips curled slightly as she sneered and replied, ¡°Of course, we have to eat this meal. Don¡¯t Minister Fang and Mayor Tian still owe us an explanation? The government won¡¯t answer us now that our company has suffered such an undeserved disaster. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t make sense! Since Minister Fang has such a good suggestion, I suggest holding a press conference this afternoon or evening and explaining everything to all the reporters and the public! What do you think?


    I¡¯m doing this for your sake. Today¡¯s matter has blown up so much. If we don¡¯t give an official explanation in time, I¡¯m afraid it will cause unnecessary panic. Minister Fang has seen what happened in the hall just now. We can think of a way to explain this to the employees of MO Corporation and even the customers present today, but we can¡¯t control everyone¡¯s thoughts. Today, Bureau Chief Xiao¡¯s poor police support has caused public outrage. It won¡¯t be good if we don¡¯t handle this carefully!¡±


    MO Ye calmly and indifferently finished speaking. She looked at Fang Dong and Tian Zhen with a faint smile on her lips. Her beautiful eyes contained a cold and dangerous aura.


    Zhuang Ming turned his head to look at her and lowered his head in deep thought. His expression was a little solemn.


    Zhuang Bai did not overthink like Zhuang Ming. He only felt that MO Ye seemed to have an exceptionally sharp and stunning beauty in her current state..

    Chapter 535: Chapter 535. Attack And Retreat


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Bai was unconsciously attracted to MO Ye. He thought he must have fallen in love with this brilliant woman.


    Zhuang Hang did not pay too much attention to his eldest brother. Like Zhuang Ming, he was thinking about the other meanings behind MO Ye¡¯s words! He was already in a state of falling in love.


    Did MO Ye want to give up on this project? That might not be the case!


    How could MO Ye give up on a project that could make MO Qian so interested? No one in the MO family liked to suffer in secret! Even if they wanted to give up, they had to compensate for today¡¯s losses.


    MO Ye¡¯s move seemed ordinary, but there were still many ingenious ideas and tricks if one considered it carefully. It could be used to attack or defend!


    If she had to be more specific, they would agree to continue working with the government, but they would raise the price. They would use the government¡¯s incident today to renegotiate the profit sharing of the cooperation project with them, as well as to maximize the smooth progress of the project in the future and obtain favorable conditions for themselves.


    As for this ¡®retreat and defense¡¯ was to cleanly escape from the situation and recover all the losses this time.


    When they heard MO Ye¡¯s suggestion, Fang Dong and Tian Zhen were the same. They were both at a loss for words. MO Ye¡¯s current attitude was MO Qian¡¯s genuine attitude! They knew this was the signal for MO Cooperation to raise the price.


    The MO siblings were brilliant and ingenious!


    However, before they could sigh, MO Qian suddenly said, ¡°I think President Ye¡¯s suggestion just now was excellent. Her analysis of the situation was also very reasonable. The situation at our company is still a mess. I also need time to appease the injured and settle the people who died in the attack. After I settle these matters, I will accept the press conference arranged by Minister Fang in the afternoon! Oh, right, before this press conference, I hope the government can sort out all the clues behind this matter. Our MO Corporation doesn¡¯t have to take on this project. Mayor Tian should understand what I mean, right?¡±


    As MO Qian spoke, he slightly turned his face to Tian Zhen and Fang Dong and smiled faintly. However, the smile did not reach his eyes. It looked unclear, making people unable to guess his true thoughts.


    ¡°There¡¯s more! The leader we look forward to is fair and honest! I think some people should step forward and take the punishment they deserve. Right, Minister Fang?¡±


    Fang Dong looked at MO Qian, and his heart trembled. After returning to his senses, he smiled and said, ¡°I understand what President MO means. I will handle this matter! However, regarding the press conference you just mentioned, can we discuss it again ¡­¡± There was a silent moment!


    After receiving Minister Fang¡¯s promise, MO Qian nodded in satisfaction. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers at the assistant, indicating that the assistant could come over and push him away. As for Fang Dong¡¯s last sentence, he ignored it as if he didn¡¯t hear it.


    This was MO Qian¡¯s way of responding to Fang Dong¡¯s attitude. He rejected Fang Dong¡¯s proposal to discuss it again and refused to have too much entanglement with the officials. There was no room for bargaining.


    Looking at MO Qian¡¯s back as he left, Fang Dong subconsciously swallowed the rest of his words. He turned to look at Tian Zhen beside him and shook his head helplessly, indicating that he had no choice!


    Tian Zhen also felt extremely helpless. Initially, he knew this matter would be troublesome, but he did not expect it to be so bumpy and challenging. MO Qian¡¯s attitude was too firm, and there was no room for negotiation. MO Qian had a way out, but did the officials have one?


    The answer was no; they had no other choice!


    MO Qian¡¯s request was not very excessive. He only wanted the officials to put


    aside the useless face project and sincerely admit their mistakes. They would humbly apologize to all the MO Corporation employees and City H¡¯s people.


    They would also punish Xiao Ting. Everything was straightforward to handle.


    Xiao Ting deserved it.. He did not have the chance to defend himself for such a low-level and stupid mistake!

 Chapter 536 - Chapter 536: Chapter 536. Explosion of Public Remarks

    Chapter 536: Chapter 536. Explosion of Public Remarks


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    On the same day, at 3 pm, the news of the terrorist attack on the MO Corporation building caused the entire H City to uproar!


    Of course, the tens of millions of citizens of City H were furious and confused as the news was discussed intensely and paid close attention to.


    They couldn¡¯t understand why the city they loved, known as the safest city in the country, would have such a ridiculous and unimaginable terrorist attack. And the target of this group of terrorists was the youngest and most promising person in City H, the only heir of the MO Financial Group-Mo Qian!


    If the security forces of City H could not even protect a high-ranking elite like


    MO Qian, how could they trust the police and the government to protect them?


    Some netizens who had witnessed the current situation of the MO Corporation enthusiastically posted photos of its tragic defeat on the Internet. In just a few hours, it quickly became popular!


    The publication of these photos was like throwing a bomb into a calm lake, setting off a huge uproar.


    The uneasiness and confusion of the people could not be resolved. Under City H¡¯s only official government news account, the ¡®skyscrapers¡¯ that the people denounced quickly piled up!


    As the matter continued to ferment, the officials could not withstand the public¡¯s scolding. They still released the news and videos they had prepared long ago on their accounts.


    [Official H City News: From 12:00 to 12:45 p. m. today, the MO Corporation building in the city center of our city suffered a major terrorist attack. For the details of the incident, please see our reporter¡¯s live video!]


    There was a three-minute video attached to the news briefing. Two minutes after the video was posted, the views and comments soared.


    The staff managing the account¡¯s background was shocked when they saw the rapidly rising red data.


    Even though they had already made preparations beforehand, they were still surprised by the townsfolk¡¯s attention to this matter.


    ¡°This is such a big matter, and you guys only posted a three-minute video. Do you still want to be a news account? We want more detailed information, not a superficial report!¡±


    ¡± The commotion at the MO Corporation¡¯s building this afternoon lasted over half an hour! It was crudely made, avoiding the important and dallying with the trivial, and it was full of ignorance! Your officials pretended to be deaf and dumb for a few hours, and that¡¯s all you came up with? Is this the official explanation?¡±


    ¡® Don¡¯t say that we¡¯re not satisfied. Do you dare to show this junk to MO Qian? So many people died in this accident. Do you feel bad? Is this your way of admitting your mistakes? We want to watch the press conference!¡±


    ¡°Yes! We need to know more detailed information about the incident! How will you explain these things if you don¡¯t hold a press conference? Where did these terrorists come from? Why did they attack the MO Corporation building?¡±


    ¡°What did it have to do with MO Qian? Why are you officials so hesitant and secretive? Is there something we don¡¯t know about behind this?¡±


    ¡± We have the right to know these things! This has already threatened the safety of all of our lives. Please face our questions seriously and stop patronizing us!¡±


    Tian Zhen looked at the densely packed comments on the computer screen, and the expression on his face became even gloomier and colder. He tried to find even one word that wasn¡¯t scolding them.


    However, after flipping through the comments for a few minutes, he gradually realized how ridiculous his actions were. This was because there was nothing he wanted to see among so many words.


    Resisting the urge to smash the computer, Tian Zhen looked up at Fang Dong and said in a deep voice, ¡°Is there no other way? Do we have to compromise with MO Qian and admit our incompetence in front of the entire H City? If I do this, how can I, Tian Zhen, survive in the political world in the future?¡±

 Chapter 537 - Chapter 537: Chapter 537. Press Conference

    Chapter 537: Chapter 537. Press Conference


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Fang Dong gently took a sip of tea. As he listened to Tian Zhen¡¯s nagging, his brows furrowed like a bulging mountain. He sighed deeply and only replied after a long while, ¡°Today¡¯s accident is so severe because our government is responsible! Understandably, the people¡¯s reaction would be so intense and dissatisfied!


    Now, it¡¯s not just about whether you can continue to mingle in the political world with dignity. What we should consider more is how to solve these problems at hand! As the mayor of City H, I believe you should understand better than me how important public opinion is!¡±


    Fang Dong said in a deep voice, his hand slowly putting down the teacup.


    He glanced at Tian Zhen, who had fallen silent in front of the table and softened his tone. He continued, ¡°So my suggestion is that we should try to listen to most people¡¯s opinions before the situation reaches its worst. Do you understand what I mean?¡±


    After Fang Dong¡¯s words, the atmosphere in the office immediately fell silent.


    Tian Zhen naturally understood what Fang Dong meant. After taking a few deep breaths, he compromised and replied, ¡°I know! I feel a little uncomfortable. Why must I go along with MO Qian¡¯s wishes?


    You know that if we let go this time, we will have lost the right to lead if we want to negotiate with MO Qian again and fight for benefits. We will fall into a very passive state! MO Qian won¡¯t let us off easily. He¡¯s a very shrewd businessman!¡±


    ¡°So?¡± After listening to Tian Zhen¡¯s analysis, Fang Dong did not pause and asked directly, ¡°Do you have any other good ideas? If you have something to say, please say it directly. Don¡¯t keep beating around the bush. Anyway, we¡¯re grasshoppers on the same rope now. No one can escape from each other!¡±


    Fang Dong¡¯s question stumped Tian Zhen. His expression froze, and he did not recover for a long time. He naturally did not have a perfect solution. He knew the best answer now was to accept MO Qian¡¯s requests.


    Only with such a compromise could they get MO Qian¡¯s full cooperation. Only then would they be able to pass this stage perfectly!


    Tian Zhen also understood that they would have to make this compromise sooner or later. His reaction was so severe earlier because of nothing more than unwillingness.


    It had to be said that MO Qian¡¯s move today was stunning. Even Tian Zhen and Fang Dong, these two old foxes who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, had no choice but to walk into his trap willingly!


    Regarding the terrorist attack on the MO Corporation at noon today, the officials finally listened to the suggestions of the vast majority of the citizens.


    At 7:30 that night, led by Mayor Tian Zhen and accompanied by police chief Xiao Ting, the officials held a real-time press conference in the reception hall of the municipal government office.


    Looking at the venue, the press conference was already going on as usual. Fang Dong clenched the documents in his hand anxiously.


    He took a deep breath and pointed at the assistant beside him. He said sternly, ¡°Go and call them again! Fight until someone from the MO Clan appears in front of me! What¡¯s the use of my raising trash like you? One or two, you couldn¡¯t even invite a single person! Get lost, get lost, and make the call!¡±


    Fang Dong¡¯s temperament had always been calm, and it was rare for him to be so harsh and flustered. At this time, Fang Dong¡¯s assistants and bodyguards gradually understood one thing. Their Minister Fang had no choice but to kneel to MO Qian!


    Because they knew that the government would hold a press conference, many people gathered in the city hall in the afternoon. It seemed that if the government could not give a satisfactory answer to the citizens today, the city hall and all the officials and staff in the city hall would welcome a sleepless night. It was even a terrible night.


    Zhuang Xian was only picked up by Li Zhen when it was close to 5 pm.. She stayed in the Underworld Gate¡¯s City H branch all afternoon!

 Chapter 538 - Chapter 538: Chapter 538. Half a Senior Brother

    Chapter 538: Chapter 538. Half a Senior Brother


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor told her that Zhang Tao¡¯s life was no longer in danger.


    She gently moved her bandaged left hand and left the infirmary.


    The branch of the Underworld Gate in City H was located in a very secretive old villa area. There were very few people who usually came here, so it was very suitable for the Underworld Gate, a special organization that was low-key and mysterious!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s injuries were quite serious, but she did not pay much attention to them. The tearing pain from her arm was no less than the dull pain in her chest.


    Zhuang Xian did not show it on her face, but the anger and guilt in her heart made her feel gloomy.


    She Imocked on Ming Tu¡¯s office door and did not pay much attention to the other people standing in the room. She chose a comfortable seat for herself and sat waiting for Ming Tu.


    That¡¯s right; Ming Tu was the sect master of the Underworld Sect, which was also Zhuang Xian and Zhang Tao¡¯s direct superior!


    Of course, in his understanding, Underworld Butcher had never treated himself as Silente¡¯s boss. He was considered half a senior brother of Silente. Like


    Silente, he had also learned martial arts from Li Zhen before. The two of them were deemed fellow disciples.


    Underworld Butcher treated Zhuang Xian quite well. At least among the assassins of the Underworld Gate, no one was like Silente, who could cast aside her identity as an assassin and return to the public. She could live an everyday life and choose the missions given by the sect. She could go to work whenever she wanted and rest whenever she wanted. Her life was pretty good!


    Previously, whenever there was a particularly important or challenging mission in the sect that no one could complete, Silente would take the lead. Therefore, no one objected to Silente¡¯s special status in the sect. However, Zhuang Xian had never relied on this special relationship to be proud to her senior brother, Ming Tu.


    From another perspective, Silente was the idol of all the registered assassins in the Underworld Gate. She was like a god!


    ¡°Alright! That¡¯s all for today. You can all leave. If there are any changes later, I¡¯ll inform you!¡± Ming Tu said in a deep voice, but his eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xian.


    After sending everyone else away, Ming Tu sighed softly. He stood up and walked to Zhuang Xian¡¯s side. He carefully looked at the wound on her arm and said gently, ¡°I just received the latest news from the higher-ups. They have already confirmed that there is no problem with the government¡¯s order to Xiao Ting! We can¡¯t take responsibility for their mistakes! If there¡¯s any mistake, they¡¯ll only blame it on Xiao Ting.


    I know that you and the branch members have suffered a loss today! I won¡¯t let them off so quickly as long as you believe me! They can¡¯t even clean up the mess within their government, so they shouldn¡¯t use the blood of our


    Underworld Gate to clean it up! There is no such thing in this world. I, Ming Tu, do not like to suffer in silence, and I am not a good person who returns evil with good. I¡¯ve always been petty and unreasonable!¡±


    As Ming Tu spoke, he softened his fierce gaze and looked down at Zhuang Xian¡¯s profile. He asked softly, ¡°How is Zhang Tao? Are you alright now? The injuries on your body don¡¯t look light. Do you want me to find a good doctor to look at you?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was in a much better mood after receiving the Sect Master¡¯s explanation and promise.


    She exhaled lightly and looked up with her pale face. Looking straight into Ming Tu¡¯s eyes, she replied in a low voice, ¡°Of course, I believe you. I have already helped you issue a challenge to Minister Fang and Mayor Tian witlyou knowing. Boss, do as you, please. I support you!¡±


    Ming Tu smiled when he heard that. He looked at Zhuang Xian dotingly.


    He had always been very helpless toward his little junior sister.. ¡®You clever little girl must try your best to ¡®scheme¡¯ against me! Don¡¯t you know how I do things?¡±

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°I already said that I wouldn¡¯t let those people off easily. Why did you help me block all my escape routes when you opened your mouth? If I don¡¯t dare to attack this time, should I be grateful to you for helping me provoke these two big shots and draw a lot of hatred?¡±


    When the sect master of the Underworld Sect, who had awed the world in the eyes of outsiders, looked at the incomparably beautiful girl in front of him, the words from his mouth were as gentle as a hot spring, warm and thoughtful.


    Hearing Ming Tu¡¯s teasing, Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows mischievously and stood up.


    She raised her uninjured hand and patted Ming Tu¡¯s shoulder. She chuckled and said, ¡°You¡¯re welcome. This is what I should do! Since you¡¯re already in City H, I¡¯ll leave the rest to you! Zhang Tao¡¯s subordinates suffered heavy losses in this mission. You have to do a good job of soothing the good family. Don¡¯t let the old general¡¯s heart turn cold! As for those useless bastards in the government, you must think of a way to teach them a lesson. If even you can¡¯t do it, I can only beg the old man!¡±


    Zhuang Xian gave Ming Tu a look that said, ¡®You know what I mean.¡¯ Then, she strode out of the office, leaving only Ming Tu with her back view!


    Ming Tu looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back with a stifled expression, and a weak smile appeared. He thought about Silente and sighed deeply, shaking his head slowly. After not seeing Silente for a long time, he felt that this child had become more cheerful, lively, and even cuter.


    Li Zhen waited for Zhuang Xian for nearly two hours outside the main gate of the Underworld Gate branch before Zhuang Xian finally finished settling everything and walked out.


    After seeing the injury on Zhuang Xian¡¯s arm, Li Zhen¡¯s expression became solemn, and his mood immediately sank to the extreme. He took a few deep breaths, barely suppressing the anger in his heart.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian obediently climbed into the off-road military vehicle and calmly sat beside him, Li Zhen sighed helplessly. After a while, he raised his hand and pointed at the driver sitting in front, indicating they could set off.


    Feeling the car start, Zhuang Xian looked at Li Zhen with a guilty conscience and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Why are you pulling a long face? Ming Tu also rushed over this afternoon. Just now, he was in a meeting with a group of people. You shouldn¡¯t have seen each other for a long time. How long have you been waiting outside? Why don¡¯t you go in and see him?¡±


    When Li Zhen heard this, he turned around and glanced at Zhuang Xian. His gaze was very unfriendly.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling. She wanted to say something to divert the old man¡¯s attention so that she could get through this crisis temporarily!


    However, there were times when people made mistakes and horses stumbled. Even someone as smart as Zhuang Xian would have times when she begged for mercy in front of the people closest to her.


    Even though this ¡®begging for mercy¡¯ was not obvious at all, anyone who knew Zhuang Xian a little would understand that the reason why Zhuang Xian kept chatting with others to ease the depressing atmosphere was that she was annln?i7.in? and begging for mercy


    Li Zhen naturally understood Zhuang Xian. He also knew that these were the awkwardness in Zhuang Xian¡¯s personality. In the past, he would still think that this was Zhuang Xian¡¯s unique and cute trait, but now that he looked at it, he felt it was annoying and uncomfortable.


    As expected, a child was still a child no matter what. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn¡¯t scold him for a day. She would dare go to her room and tear off the tiles if she didn¡¯t hit him for three days.


    This was the first time Li Zhen had felt so clearly that Zhuang Xian was much more challenging to discipline than that stinky brat Li Qin!


    Zhuang Xian usually looked obedient and sensible, but if something happened, her mind would be more significant than the person before her. She did not take the lessons and nagging of her elders to heart at all. She did things recklessly and did not care about the consequences. She did not care about her safety, causing those who cared about her afraid daily. Especially in a situation like today, Li Zhen was going crazy!

    Chapter 540: Chapter 540. Scolded


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°Assassins from Japan who came from afar,¡± ¡°Terrorist attack, ¡°Assassination operation,¡± ¡°Lone and isolated gunfight, ¡± ¡°Helicopter crash and explosion,¡± every keyword in today¡¯s news report could make ordinary people¡¯s scalps go numb and feel fear after listening to it!


    Even Li Zhen, the head of many armies, broke out in a cold sweat after listening to the adjutant¡¯s report.


    The uneasiness and worry he felt this morning had become a reality. His beautiful granddaughter had gone out on a mission, but now she had returned covered in injuries.


    Li Zhen couldn¡¯t understand how difficult the mission was to make Zhuang Xian look so miserable. Could it be that it was like what was said in today¡¯s news? Was it because the police didn¡¯t respond in time that the special forces of the Underworld Gate fought against the entire terrorist assassin organization on their own?


    Li Zhen also knew that this mission personally issued by Ming Tu was not very simple. However, he did not expect a mission in the city to be so dangerous and scary!


    Fortunately, there was nothing serious now. Li Zhen was already thankful that Zhuang Xian could return safely!


    However, this brat still needed to be scolded. If he didn¡¯t scold her properly, she would go to the roof and tear off the tiles. She was lawless!


    Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian with a heavy gaze. His face was stiff as he scolded sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t say this in front of me. Do you think I don¡¯t know who you are? When you asked me to send you out this morning, what did you promise me? Do you still remember?¡±


    Looking at the girl¡¯s silence, feigning death, Li Zhen¡¯s anger flared up again. He moved closer to Zhuang Xian and closed the distance between them. ¡°I think you don¡¯t take what you promised me to heart! You said that you would call me when the mission was over. Where¡¯s the phone call? The mission just now was so dangerous. Even if the police in City H can¡¯t do it, your grandfather can still be relied on! Why didn¡¯t you inform me to support you?


    The helicopter crashed and exploded? Do you want to die? Do you know how worried and flustered I was when I heard the news? I shouldn¡¯t have supported you to accept this bullshit mission! Did you bring those people from the


    Underworld Gate and forcefully withstand the crazy attacks of those assassins?


    Tell Ming Tu to scram as far away as possible. I don¡¯t want to see him!¡±


    Sitting in the office, Ming Tu, who was busy dealing with the matters at hand, fell into a strange silence after a violent sneeze!


    Ming Tu, who suspected that someone was badmouthing him, was speechless.


    ¡°I should have told you about this long ago, right?¡± Li Zhen¡¯s denunciation of Zhuang Xian continued.


    Zhuang Xian restrained the faint helplessness in her eyes. She rarely did not open her mouth to argue with the old man. The reason why such a severe accident happened today was that Zhuang Xian herself could not stay out of it.


    She recalled the elite mercenaries under MO Qian at noon today. If they had not suddenly appeared and helped them, Zhuang Xian herself could not estimate what kind of tragic ending today would have been. How many casualties would there have been in the Underworld Gate and MO Corporation¡¯s building?


    Since she had thought of this, Zhuang Xian felt she had to praise MO Qian¡¯s decisiveness and meticulous thinking!


    It was also because of MO Qian¡¯s detailed analysis and comprehensive arrangements that everyone present at that time could turn the situation around and walk out of that place alive.


    After Li Zhen nagged for a long time, he realized that Zhuang Xian was quietly distracted. The anger in his heart grew even greater!


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhuang Xian was still injured, Li Zhen wanted to reach out and pull Zhuang Xian¡¯s ear and ask this stupid girl how much of what he said was remembered by her. She didn¡¯t take him seriously at all! She still dared to be distracted at this time..

    Chapter 541: Chapter 541. For MO Qjan


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°I say, stinky girl! Are you even listening to me? Did you hear what I said just now? You dare to be distracted at this time. What important thing are you thinking about? Is it because I didn¡¯t scold you hard enough, so you didn¡¯t feel anything?¡±


    Hearing Li Zhen¡¯s angry scolding, Zhuang Xian quickly returned to her senses.


    She turned her head to look at Li Zhen and calmly restrained the chaos in her heart. She cleared her throat and replied, ¡°I¡¯m listening! How could I not listen? You¡¯ve been scolding me for so long. Grandpa, can you rest for a while, and let¡¯s continue after drinking some water? Aren¡¯t you thirsty? You should be tired, right?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she took a bottle of water from the side and handed it to Li Zhen with a smile.


    A faint fawning and coy look on her exquisite little face made Li Zhen¡¯s heart suddenly soften for no reason. He almost couldn¡¯t control his current posture of scolding her!


    Li Zhen pretended to glare at Zhuang Xian. After taking a deep breath, he did not intend to let her off just like that.


    ¡°Stop interrupting!¡± he continued. ¡°I¡¯m still asking you a question. What did I tell you? Repeat it to me now!¡±


    Old Chief Li lectured his granddaughter. He felt it was not enough and started digging up old scores again.


    ¡°I noticed this strange phenomenon before. Whenever I mention your matter in the Underworld Gate, you immediately pretend to be deaf and mute! Do you think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking? I don¡¯t know what kind of medicine Ming Tu gave you to make you work for him so loyally! Just rely on your young age and work hard. I¡¯ll see how long you can be stubborn!


    You¡¯re not an official special agent killer in the Underworld Gate system. You¡¯re just holding a post. Do you have to work so hard? You said you wanted to settle down and do your things a few months ago. You didn¡¯t want to take on the special agent mission of the Underworld Gate, and many things around you had to be put on hold for the time being! But why are you willing to accept this mission today? What¡¯s the reason?¡±


    As if she did not expect Li Zhen to ask her this, Zhuang Xian was stunned momentarily. She subconsciously began to reflect on the reason for her actions.


    However, other than Ming Tu¡¯s neither light nor heavy orders and instructions, what she cared about the most was the person involved in this mission.


    She went for MO Qian!


    ¡°Is it because of MO Qian? Or is it because this is related to your plan?¡± Li Zhen looked at Zhuang Xian and asked softly as if he could read Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind.


    Li Zhen frowned slightly when he saw Zhuang Xian return to her senses and look at him without saying a word.


    He sighed and continued, ¡°Although you¡¯ve never told me about your plan in its entirety before, I know you¡¯re a child with many ideas and a sense of decency. That¡¯s why I¡¯ve always been very supportive of you! But after seeing what happened today and the injuries on your body, how can I not worry about you? When will you be able to make Grandpa stop worrying about you?¡±


    Li Zhen talked non-stop. It was also convenient when it came to digging up some old scores. He knew that Zhuang Xian was not one to be coaxed. He was not afraid that Zhuang Xian would not fall for it! Fortunately, he used the soft and hard methods on Zhuang Xian today.


    The old general¡¯s bitter expression made the eyes of the adjutant sitting in the front passenger seat turn red. He felt it was difficult for their old chief, and Miss Zhuang Xian was insensitive!


    Zhuang Xian did not know what the adjutant was thinking. She only looked at Li Zhen a few times, and the helplessness in her heart was about to overflow.


    After a long silence, she sighed softly and replied in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Grandpa! I did do something wrong today. I should have called you first when the battle over there ended! But the situation was too urgent, so I didn¡¯t have time to inform you! As for the question you just asked¡­.


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she paused for a moment. That person¡¯s face suddenly flashed across her mind..

 Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Chapter 542. Gossip Chief Li

    chapter 542: chapter 542. gossip chief li


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    at that moment, zhuang xian¡¯s eyes seemed to soften.


    she seemed to have finally accepted her fate or compromised. she smiled gently and said gently, ¡± old man! if i were to say that i accepted this mission today, that this was an order from ming tu himself, and there was no other reason, would you believe me?¡±


    looking at zhuang xian¡¯s lazy and relaxed smile, li zhen had a hunch that this child must be hiding something from him.


    ¡°how would i know?¡± he asked with a frown. ¡°just say what you want to say. why are you still playing puzzles in front of me? i¡¯ve been worried about you the whole day. ultimately, this is how you treat me.


    there¡¯s more! i¡¯ve said so much earlier, and you only remember this one question, right? stop beating around the bush and think about what i said.


    remember everything in your mind, understand?¡±


    as li zhen spoke, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. he came back to his senses and turned to look at zhuang xian. he took a deep breath and raised his hand to point at zhuang xian with a strange expression. when he opened his mouth again, he asked tentatively, ¡± you went today for mo qian? is that so?¡±


    this low-key military off-road vehicle drove directly into the blue eagle base. the soldier standing guard at the door glanced at the license plate and did not dare to stop it any further. he knew this was the car of the old army chief, li zhen, who had left the base in the morning!


    looking at the familiar scene in her line of sight, zhuang xian sighed in relief. she felt that her nerves had relaxed slightly. she looked at the base outside the car window, still thinking about li zhen¡¯s question.


    after a long time, so long that li zhen thought zhuang xian would not answer again, zhuang xian suddenly replied softly, ¡°it should be.¡±


    when li zhen heard this, he gave zhuang xian a strange look. however, a raging flame called gossip slowly rose in his heart.


    when he opened his mouth to ask zhuang xian, the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed. ¡°what do you mean by probably? why do you care so much about mo qian? didn¡¯t you say that it had nothing to do with him? this was called ¡®not related¡¯? do you like mo qian?¡±


    li zhen looked at zhuang xian with unusual excitement. his turbid and shrewd eyes showed a lot of sizing and curiosity.


    this gaze made zhuang xian¡¯s body itch. zhuang xian looked at him and said in a deep voice, ¡°i¡¯m worried about the safety of my friends in real life. is there anything wrong with that?¡±


    ¡°forget it! do you think i don¡¯t know who you are? you couldn¡¯t even make a


    fart out of ten hits. you¡¯re interested in mo qian! i don¡¯t understand. why can¡¯t you admit it? i thought that you two would have a chance!


    ignoring zhuang xian¡¯s seemingly unnecessary explanation, li zhen clapped his hands. before the off-road vehicle drove into the base dormitory building, he still wanted to grab zhuang xian and interrogate her.


    he thought that he would let zhuang xian off today. tomorrow morning, he would catch her and ask her questions in detail! however, when he saw zhuang xian¡¯s pale and haggard face, he held it in.


    zhuang xian and mo qian¡¯s relationship had made rapid progress! however, li zhen did not know that because he was worried about zhuang xian¡¯s injury, he hesitated and did not ask directly. that was why he missed the things that happened this afternoon and this night that was destined to be extraordinary.


    li zhen could not predict the future, so he naturally could not imagine what would happen tonight. he could only look at zhuang xian, who had suddenly changed a little the next day, and exclaim that he had missed a significant event. moreover, he even sighed a few times, ¡°a grown woman cannot be kept!¡±


    li zhen naturally had no way of knowing what would happen later. after he sent zhuang xian safely to the dormitory, he asked zhuang xian to rest quickly. he would bring the doctor over later to treat zhuang xian¡¯s injuries and change her dressing..

    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    zhuang xian naturally wouldn¡¯t go against li zhen¡¯s wishes now. she didn¡¯t have the energy to argue with the old man. she nodded to show that she understood.


    li zhen only left the dormitory with his men after he saw zhuang xian slowly lying back on the bed with her injured arm hanging down.


    all the students were still on the training ground, so no one was in the entire corridor.


    the adjutant looked at the old general walking before him and thought silently. he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°chief! are miss zhuang xian¡¯s injuries really alright?


    i can see that her face is pale. can¡¯t we send miss zhuang xian to the hospital?


    can¡¯t we even give her a doctor? do you trust her that much?¡±


    li zhen didn¡¯t stop walking, listening to the adjutant¡¯s words. after a long while, he said in a deep voice, ¡°what kind of place do you think the underworld gate is? since zhuang xian was able to come out of the infirmary alone, it meant that her injuries were not particularly serious. otherwise, why do you think ming tu would let zhuang xian out so easily? ming tu¡¯s concern for zhuang xian is not something ordinary people can compare to!¡±


    li zhen seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly as he spoke. ¡® we must keep zhuang xian¡¯s trip a secret today from li qin. of course, we couldn¡¯t let the teachers and students of saint capital university imow! they¡¯re now undergoing closed-door military training. therefore, we could not let anyone else know about this. zhuang xian is just an ordinary first-year student. how could she have the right to enter and leave the base as she pleased? it would be difficult to explain when the time came! as for zhuang xian¡¯s arm injury, she will find a way to cover it up herself. we don¡¯t have to worry about it!¡±


    after hearing li zhen¡¯s words, the adjutant nodded, indicating he understood.


    he looked at li zhen¡¯s back and was still thinking in his mind. as expected of their old chief and miss. they were just more thorough than him in their actions. he could not have thought of this at all.


    li zhen did not know what the adjutant was thinking. he just kept walking as if in a hurry to do something.


    at 7:30 p. m. , the freshmen in blue eagle base finally ended their day of military training. they walked into the cafeteria and dormitory building under the afterglow of the setting sun to eat or take a shower and rest!


    zhang yang dragged his exhausted body behind li qin and lin feng.


    he listened to the conversation between li qin and lin feng in front of him and asked in an abnormally dispirited manner, ¡°where do you think sister xian went today? i didn¡¯t think much of it when she was around us daily. i haven¡¯t seen her for almost a day today. i miss her! if she were here, the class monitor wouldn¡¯t think of punishing us! ah!


    heavens! when would this bitter life end? i want to sleep, play games, and eat delicious food!¡±


    looking at zhang yang¡¯s endless complaints, li qin and lin feng looked at each other in tacit understanding. they raised their hands and grabbed zhang yang¡¯s arms. ignoring zhang yang¡¯s struggling and crying, they pulled him into the dormitory.


    li qin raised his hand and flicked zhang yang¡¯s head. he did not care about zhang yang¡¯s accusatory look and laughed, ¡°do you even know how to speak? if your language skills are not up to par, you can choose not to tell! what do you mean by my sister xian following you around every day? do you still miss her? what are you trying to do?


    do you want to woo my sister xian? let me tell you; it¡¯s too late now! if you want to chase after our sister xian, go to the back of the line!¡±


    the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart. lin feng choked on li qin¡¯s last few words until his heart ached.


    if lin feng were not sure that only his good friend zhang yang knew about his failed confession to zhuang xian that day and that zhang yang would not spread such a thing around, he would suspect that li qin knew something.


    if that wasn¡¯t the case, why would li qin blurt it out and tell zhang yang, who wanted to ¡®woo¡¯ zhuang xian, to line up at the back? who was behind him? what was the reason?


    thinking about these things, lin feng fell behind the three-man team in a daze!

 Chapter 544 - Chapter 544: Chapter 544. We Were Scared to Death

    chapter 544: chapter 544. we were scared to death


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    however, lin feng still could not figure it out when he entered the dormitory.


    that night, when he had dinner with mo qian, he and zhang yang were absent. consequently, he did not think he and zhang yang were queuing behind mo qian! therefore, he did not know that mo qian also liked zhuang xian.


    putting aside whether zhang yang was willing to join the queue, the most troublesome thing for them right now was that they had discovered someone in the dormitory!


    it was close to eight o¡¯clock, and the sky did not look very bright. the lights were not turned on in the room, and there was not enough light to penetrate through, so it was a little dark, and he could not see the situation in the dormitory.


    zhang yang looked at sister xian¡¯s bed and saw a slight bump on it. he did not know why, but he subconsciously took a deep breath and asked li qin, ¡°is that sister xian? when did she come back? why didn¡¯t you come to the training ground to look for us after you returned? is sister xian already asleep? why is she sleeping so early today? she should still be jogging at this time, right?¡±


    li qin did not pay any attention to the man beside him, who looked like a man with a hundred thousand whys. his eyes were fixed on zhuang xian, sleeping on the bed. after frowning slightly, he walked over.


    although he didn¡¯t show any abnormality on his face, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart, making him uneasy.


    only when he approached zhuang xian did li qin confirm that it was indeed zhuang xian. he smelled a faint scent of blood, and it was very fresh!


    ¡°sister xian? sister xian! are you asleep?¡± li qin probed.


    seeing that zhuang xian did not respond, he squatted by the bed and continued calling, ¡°sister xian, wake up first. i have something to ask you! can you sleep after i ask?¡±


    he asked slowly, but in the dormitory, other than the breathing and heartbeats of the boys, there was no response. zhuang xian seemed to have fallen asleep!


    realizing something was wrong, li qin raised his voice and shouted anxiously, ¡°lin feng, turn on the lights! i think there¡¯s something wrong with sister


    xian!¡±


    lin feng did not hesitate when he heard that. he immediately took a few significant steps back to the door and raised his hand to turn on the light switch on the wall.


    when he turned his head to look at li qin again, li qin was already kneeling in front of zhuang xian¡¯s bed, looking at zhuang xian with a worried expression.


    ¡°sister xian? sister xian, can you not scare me? wake up first! what happened to you?¡± looking at zhuang xian, who was still lying motionless, li qin¡¯s tone became slightly impatient.


    seeing that zhuang xian still did not react, li qin was about to reach out and pat her shoulder, trying to use some more direct stimulation to wake zhuang xian up.


    but in the next second, before li qin¡¯s hand could reach zhuang xian, he was immediately grabbed by a hand that suddenly reached out from under the blanket!


    ¡°so noisy! can¡¯t you be quiet? i¡¯m not dead yet. i don¡¯t need you to cry for me.¡± after hearing zhuang xian¡¯s sarcastic words, li qin was slightly stunned.


    he subconsciously turned to look at the wrist that zhuang xian held. after he regained his senses, he roared, ¡°so sister xian, you¡¯re fine! then why didn¡¯t you say anything when i called you just now? why didn¡¯t you respond to my request? are you playing a prank to scare us? then you¡¯re too bad. you made us worry so much for you! i thought something happened to you.¡±


    zhuang xian didn¡¯t have any strange reaction when she heard this. she casually let go of li qin¡¯s hand and slowly sat up.


    at this moment. she was willing to look at li oin. ¡°i was sleening iust now. how


    do you want me to answer you? i fell asleep, okay? i didn¡¯t even blame you for disturbing my good dream first. you¡¯re good at complaining!¡±


    as zhuang xian spoke, she seemed to have finally noticed that li qin¡¯s posture of kneeling in front of her was a little strange. she opened her mouth and said to li qin, ¡°hurry up and sit on the chair! don¡¯t keep kneeling in front of me.. you¡¯re blocking my light!¡±

 Chapter 545 - Chapter 545: Chapter 545. Don ‘t Worry

    chapter 545: chapter 545. don ¡®t worry


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    when li qin heard zhuang xian¡¯s slightly disdainful tone, he pursed his lips and subconsciously muttered, ¡°aren¡¯t you going to sleep? how can i block your light!¡±


    as he said that, he subconsciously followed zhuang xian¡¯s instructions and sat back in his chair.


    but in the next moment, he immediately reacted.


    li qin looked down at zhuang xian on the bed. after frowning, he asked, ¡°no! what i want to say is not these things! sister xian, are you changing the topic again? you didn¡¯t answer my previous questions. what¡¯s going on with you?


    you don¡¯t look too good. are you sick?¡±


    lin feng and zhang yang stood behind li qin, silently watching the conversation between him and zhuang xian.


    when zhuang xian had spoken just now, lin feng had already noticed that she was unusual. now that li qin had mentioned it, he also saw that zhuang xian was different. lin feng thought momentarily and asked sincerely, ¡°sister xian, are you feeling unwell somewhere? say it if you need us to take you to the infirmary! ¡±


    li qin turned to look at lin feng, who was speaking. something flashed across his eyes, and then he echoed, ¡°that¡¯s right, sister xian! you¡¯re usually as strong as a bull. i¡¯m not used to you suddenly becoming so weak! please tell us if you feel unwell so we can send you to the infirmary.


    hey! don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re okay!¡± as if he knew what zhuang xian would say in advance, li qin did not stop and interrupted zhuang xian¡¯s denial.


    looking at zhuang xian¡¯s stunned face, like she wanted to say something, li qin raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, ¡®why don¡¯t i get zhang yang to find you a mirror? take a good look at your pale face. you¡¯re so stubborn! if you don¡¯t listen to me, i¡¯ll complain to grandpa. you¡¯ll be finished if he scolds you!¡±


    ¡®thank you! i¡¯ve already been scolded, so you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡¯ zhuang xian complained silently in her heart as she looked at li qin indifferently. she did not want to waste her energy arguing with him and bickering about the fact that he had just snatched her away.


    zhuang xian sighed in relief and said helplessly, ¡°then before you complain to the old man, can you get me a glass of water first? my throat is about to smoke!¡±


    when li qin heard this, he immediately put away the sloppy expression on his face. he was about to get up and pour zhuang xian a glass of water, but the next moment, he was interrupted by lin feng, who suddenly spoke.


    lin feng quickly raised his hand and gestured for li qin to sit still. ¡°i¡¯m close. i¡¯ll pour it! brother qin, sit down!¡±


    as he spoke, he had already poured a glass of water for zhuang xian and handed it to her. he said gently, ¡°drink it. it¡¯s still warm.¡±


    zhuang xian glanced at lin feng, raised her right hand to take the cup, and thanked him softly.


    lin feng shook his head, indicating that it was fine.


    li oin looked at lin feng and then at zhuang xian. leaning on the bed. a


    strange thought appeared in his heart. his future brother-in-law, mo qian, was far away from pursuing his wife! he felt as if he had understood something.


    however, li qin did not know mo qian would soon shatter his thoughts.


    an intelligent man like president mo¡¯s path to pursuing his wife was not a distant one!


    mr. mo had always taken every step carefully, one step at a time, allowing zhuang xian to walk into his ¡®trap¡¯ and the ¡®trap¡¯ of love. he used a method that outsiders could not learn or imagine, like boiling a frog in warm water, to make zhuang xian fall for him slowly.


    a little water would flow for a long time, and when the water flows naturally, it would be like boiling a frog in warm water. these were the methods that mo qian had set up to conquer zhuang xian. however, looking at zhuang xian¡¯s current psychological situation, he seemed close to success!


    li qin, who was guarding zhuang xian and asking questions, and lin feng and zhang yang, who had returned to the dormitory, did not know that their male lead for tonight had already arrived downstairs!

    after the fall city h, the daytime was more extended than the night. therefore, even though it was already past eight o¡¯clock in the evening, the sky was still bright.


    looking at the car driving from afar, lei cheng took a deep breath helplessly.


    if he remembered correctly, mo qian had just been to the base a few days ago. why did he come back so quickly?


    could there be some new changes in the treatment plan that zhuang xian had made for mo qian?


    it was customary for one to be unable to control the longing for the person they loved! or perhaps, it was just someone who was ¡®missing his wife.¡¯ after all, one day apart felt like three years.


    as lei cheng thought about all this, he did not forget to ridicule his old friend, mo qian, for being a beast. he thought zhuang xian was only 17 years old now, and she was still a girl. isn¡¯t mo qian a little too anxious?


    chief instructor lei¡¯s face darkened slightly. on the surface, he looked very serious. however, no one knew that his gossipy heart had already helped mo qian and zhuang xian think about everything from now on.


    but soon, the low-key, custom-made luxury car parked before him caught his attention.


    lei cheng looked at mo qian, who exited the car, and a friendly smile immediately appeared. ¡°those who know better know you came here to see doctor zhuang treat your leg. those who don¡¯t know the cause and effect of the matter probably think that you, president mo, have invested in some huge money-making project in our blue eagle base, so you come here every two or three days! president mo, how many times have you been here this week?


    why? are you worried the military and the school will eat zhuang xian up?¡±


    mo qian sat in the smart wheelchair. after hearing this, he looked up at lei cheng, and a faint smile hung on his lips. ¡°what¡¯s wrong? instructor lei, won¡¯t you welcome me if i come here a few more times? i understand! i¡¯ll treat you to a meal and drink some other day. i¡¯ll ask xiang nan and si yan to come with me. don¡¯t hide when the time comes!¡±


    lei cheng walked in front of the group of people. when he heard this, he turned his head to look at mo qian and replied with a smile, ¡°alright! whoever hides is a grandson!¡±


    and subconsciously asked, ¡°why isn¡¯t mo xi following you today? why did you suddenly change people?¡±


    since lei cheng had been in the base the whole day, the news in the base was blocked, so he didn¡¯t know what had happened outside today. naturally, he was puzzled by mo xi¡¯s sudden presence.


    he looked at mo qian¡¯s side profile and suddenly sensed something unusual.


    mo qian allowed the assistant behind him to push him forward. his beautiful eyes flashed with darkness when he heard lei cheng¡¯s question.


    after silence, he explained, ¡°mo xi is slightly injured. he won¡¯t appear by my side for the time being. he needs time to recuperate.¡±


    ¡°a little injured? why was he injured for no reason? did something happen that i don¡¯t know about?¡± lei cheng asked subconsciously. his brows slowly furrowed into a ball. his intuition told him that this matter would not be so simple.


    would mo qian be so unusually solemn now if he was only slightly injured? mo qian wasn¡¯t someone who couldn¡¯t take it!


    mo qian glanced at lei cheng indifferently. after a long while, he chuckled. ¡°i think your blue eagle base isn¡¯t some utopia that doesn¡¯t know about the world, right? when did you become a ¡®saint¡¯ who doesn¡¯t care about what¡¯s happening outside? haven¡¯t you seen the news all day?¡±


    lei cheng, who was so busy torturing the freshmen that he didn¡¯t even look at his phone, was speechless.


    the assistant behind mo qian also looked at lei cheng strangely now. he had the same thoughts as his young master.


    lei cheng felt the disdain and strange gazes of the master and servant. he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood rooted to the ground.


    mo qian looked at lei cheng with a smile. he didn¡¯t care that lei cheng was behind him. he ordered his assistant to push him into the dormitory building of blue eagle base..

 Chapter 547 - Chapter 547: Chapter 547. This Is Not A Dream

    chapter 547: chapter 547. this is not a dream


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    after chatting with lei cheng, mo qian finally relaxed a little. it seemed that chatting with his old friend was indeed very effective in relaxing his mood.


    as mo qian walked into the dormitory building, he received much attention from the students along the way. they had been holed up in the dormitory since the military training ended. at this moment, they were wandering in the corridor out of boredom.


    some students with good eyesight recognized mo qian at a glance!


    who was mo qian? he was a legendary figure in city h, a business tycoon that could only be seen in the news!


    therefore, when they saw such a person suddenly appearing at their military training base, they were all very shocked. after the shock, they were filled with disbelief.


    in this trance, they felt that they had been tortured by lei cheng today until they had lost their minds, which was why they had such an illusion!


    otherwise, how could one explain why the famous president mo would suddenly appear in this godforsaken place?


    however, the scene before them was so real that they had to start doubting themselves again.


    when mo qian moved past him, a boy with a dull face asked another male student beside him without turning his head, ¡°am i dreaming? pinch me now, and let me see if it hurts! i saw mo qian! and it was in such a remote base! oh my god!


    what is he doing here?¡±


    when the male student beside the boy heard this, he obediently squeezed the boy¡¯s hand. seeing the boy cry out in pain and look at him angrily, the male student said with certainty, ¡°if you can feel the pain, it means that this is real.


    we¡¯re not dreaming!¡±


    the boy who was pinched was speechless.


    ¡°but i¡¯m inquisitive. why do you think mo qian is here? could he also have some project investment in the blue eagle base?¡±


    however, their questions were destined to be unanswered because there was no one else in mo qian¡¯s heart other than zhuang xian.


    after the assistant knocked on the door before him, mo qian looked at lin feng standing at the door and raised his eyebrows slightly. he asked, ¡°hello, is zhuang xian inside?¡±


    lin feng naturally knew mo qian, but when he opened the door and saw mo qian for the first time, he had the same thoughts as the students.


    however, after a few seconds, he quickly returned to his senses. he sized mo qian up and replied, ¡°yes, why are you looking for her?¡±


    as if he had already sensed the faint rejection from lin feng, mo qian also sized him up carefully. after a long while, he smiled faintly and said, ¡°you should be lin feng, right? i heard lei cheng mention you before, but you weren¡¯t there when we had dinner that day, right?¡±


    as mo qian spoke, he heard footsteps coming from behind lin feng.


    in the next second, li qin poked his figure out from behind lin feng. he looked at mo qian at the door and was stunned. he asked in surprise,


    ¡°president mo? why are you here? you ¡­ are you here for our sister xian? she just woke up!¡±


    being stared at by mo qian¡¯s eyes, li qin subconsciously reported zhuang


    xian¡¯s situation to him. before realizing this reaction, he had already regarded mo qian as his own.


    as for what kind of person he was, it would take a while for li qin to come to a realization.


    ¡°i came to see her.¡± mo qian replied briefly. just as li qin opened the dormitory door, he controlled the wheelchair and entered the room. as he moved, he smiled and asked li qin, ¡°she just woke up, right( has she eaten¡±¡®


    li qin slowly returned to his senses and hurriedly replied, ¡°ah, not yet! sister xian doesn¡¯t look too good.. she looks sick!¡±

 Chapter 548 - Chapter 548: Chapter 548. Li Qjn’s sue?

    chapter 548: chapter 548. li qjn¡¯s sue?


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    ¡°we were just thinking of taking her to the infirmary and getting a doctor to look at her! but sister xian is stubborn and refuses to go. i can¡¯t do anything to her!¡± li qin said as he followed behind mo qian.


    zhuang xian leaned back on the bed, her face a little tired and pale. her eyes suddenly felt helpless, and there was even a little guilt that others couldn¡¯t detect. she listened to li qin¡¯s explanation but didn¡¯t explain anything. she just silently watched li qin¡¯s subconscious action of ¡®complaining¡¯ to mo qian.


    as for what she felt guilty about, zhuang xian did not seem to know either!


    so when she met mo qian¡¯s gaze, zhuang xian suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable.


    she licked her lips and looked straight at mo qian¡¯s handsome face. after thinking briefly, she asked softly, ¡°are you alright? why are you here so early? have you settled the matters at your company? if there¡¯s anything else you need my help with, tell me. i can communicate with them again! and mo xi, he should be fine, right?¡±


    the ¡®they¡¯ zhuang xian was referring to was naturally the people from the underworld gate.


    the mo corporation had suffered such a huge loss this time. with mo qian¡¯s intelligent and wise personality, he would not let those government officials off quickly!


    if he wanted to compete with them, mo qian would naturally need some help, and it seemed that the only help he could get at the moment was from the people of the underworld sect.


    in fact, from a particular perspective, in this incident, the underworld gate and mo qian were on the same front. they were both cheated by the government! mo qian¡¯s losses today were heavy, and the underworld sect was not to be outdone.


    even ming tu felt extremely pained after losing the secret agent team that had always been full, let alone zhang tao, the deputy team leader.


    when zhuang xian was at the entrance of the infirmary of the underworld sect, she was still thinking about how much pain and anger zhang tao would feel if he could wake up tonight!


    after all, the major mistakes in today¡¯s mission were not committed by the people of the underworld sect, and they should not be the ones to bear the responsibility. the people from the government and officials should be the ones who should take the most significant burden.


    mo qian quietly looked at zhuang xian sitting on the bed. after hearing her words, he felt a lot of helplessness and heartache.


    he smiled at zhuang xian and replied gently, ¡°you don¡¯t have to worry about these things now. i¡¯m here for everything. i¡¯ll take care of these things! right now, the most important thing for me is to take good care of you! how are you feeling now? do you want me to take you out?¡±


    being stared at by mo qian¡¯s extremely gentle eyes, zhuang xian felt like she would drown in the next second.


    she took a few deep breaths and was about to say something when mo qian interrupted her!


    ¡°why does your face look so red? do you have a fever?¡±


    zhuang xian listened attentively to mo qian¡¯s concerned questions. she did not notice or guard against them. in the next second, a warm and very dry hand with a faint perfume smell touched the side of her face!


    mo qian did not seem to think anything was wrong with his current action. he raised his hand and touched zhuang xian¡¯s side profile worriedly. as if he realized that this position could not accurately measure zhuang xian¡¯s temperature, he raised his hand again and placed the back of his hand on zhuang xian¡¯s forehead.


    extending his arm made mo qian¡¯s body even closer to zhuang xian.


    zhuang xian could smell mo qian¡¯s perfume, which was not apparent now, filling her nose instantly. it even covered her usually bright head, making her a little stunned. she did not even know how to answer mo qian¡¯s question.


    li qin and lin feng were both standing on mo qian¡¯s left. their eyes widened slightly as they looked in surprise at the scene in front of them. many thoughts quickly flashed through their minds, so fast that they could not grasp them.


    li qin¡¯s eyes widened in confusion.. he thought, since when did sister xian become so familiar with mo qian?

 Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Chapter 549. What Riddle?

    chapter 549: chapter 549. what riddle?


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    were they so close that they didn¡¯t even avoid people when they had such intimate contact?


    li qin thought about this silently and suddenly felt shocked by the rapid progress between mo qian and zhuang xian.


    he subconsciously gulped and widened his eyes slightly, staring straight at zhuang xian. after a while, he glanced sideways at mo qian.


    on the other hand, lin feng slowly frowned and looked at the situation in front of him with a puzzled look.


    zhuang xian was a person with a strong sense of boundaries. she did not like to have intimate physical contact with people she was not familiar with. even li qin, who was usually the closest to her, did not dare to have such casual and intimate contact with her, let alone people like them who were not very familiar with zhuang xian.


    this was also one of the reasons why zhuang xian was still unwilling to move despite their persuasion. they did not dare to force zhuang xian!


    lin feng did not know what had happened between zhuang xian and mo qian before, nor did he know what kind of grudges they had. the only thing he could be sure of was that mo qian treated zhuang xian very special, at least much more special than he did.


    zhuang xian didn¡¯t seem to reject mo qian¡¯s expression of concern for her, nor did she reject mo qian¡¯s special care.


    this very different treatment made lin feng feel even more uncomfortable. it was as if he had seen something unusual between mo qian and zhuang xian!


    there might be some little secrets between mo qian and zhuang xian that outsiders could not know.


    the only one who could not keep up with the pace of the others was zhang yang, standing at the back of the group.


    he looked at zhuang xian and mo qian, then glanced at lin feng and li qin. suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with today¡¯s matter!


    this was because no one in the entire dormitory looked relaxed and happy. everyone had a solemn expression or a puzzled and confused look.


    the main character of this incident, mr. mo qian, did not care about the thoughts of others. all his attention was now focused on zhuang xian alone!


    looking at zhuang xian¡¯s stunned expression, mo qian frowned slightly. seeing that zhuang xian was still looking at him without moving, his eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, as if he could not understand the meaning of his actions! he withdrew his hand from zhuang xian¡¯s forehead.


    mo qian looked at zhuang xian¡¯s pale face and added gently, ¡°your forehead is still hot. it shouldn¡¯t be hot! it¡¯s not suitable for you to move now. i¡¯ll get the assistant to invite the military doctor over. wait a moment!¡±


    as he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the assistant behind him, indicating for the assistant to go to the base¡¯s infirmary and bring the doctor here.


    the assistant received the order and immediately nodded. he turned around and left.


    li qin looked at the assistant, who turned around and left. he opened his mouth to say something but held back the next moment!


    he thought that as long as he could make sister xian go to the doctor obediently, he did not care who came up with this idea. as long as it worked, zhuang xian¡¯s health was his priority!


    mo qian did not care about li qin¡¯s silence, nor did lin feng and zhang yang size him up. he looked at zhuang xian¡¯s beautiful eyes and said in a low voice, ¡°actually, i can discuss it with lei cheng or old master li and take you home to recuperate first. however, considering that this matter needs to be kept a secret for now, and judging from your personality, you wouldn¡¯t agree to my doing this! so .


    ¡°i can only resort to this!¡±


    before mo qian could finish the second half of his sentence, he was interrupted by li qin.


    li qin said with a puzzled expression, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, president mo.. let me interrupt you first! what kind of riddle are you playing with my sister xian? why do i understand every word you say, but it becomes so strange when you put them together?¡±

 Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: Chapter 550. Love Rivals Meet

    chapter 550: chapter 550. love rivals meet


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    ¡°did something happen that i don¡¯t know about? why do i feel i¡¯ve missed many important things?¡±


    as li qin spoke, he looked at mo qian apologetically. he was also very helpless about his sudden interruption of mo qian¡¯s words.


    however, if he did not do this, he felt that mo qian and zhuang xian would turn his brain into a paste in the next moment. therefore, before he was baffled, he could only interrupt the conversation between mo qian and zhuang xian, hoping to get some information and answers from mo qian.


    mo qian, who was interrupted, turned his head and looked at li qin indifferently. he subconsciously turned the ring on his little finger. after a long silence, he raised his head and looked at lin feng and zhang yang behind li qin.


    ¡°i have some important matters to discuss with your team leader and li qin. if possible, i hope to commandeer your dormitory! thank you.¡±


    lin feng was a brilliant person. naturally , he would understand mo qian¡¯s words. if this was any other time, lin feng would have politely said yes and left with zhang yang, leaving the place for them. but today, lin feng subconsciously did not want to do that.


    he looked at mo qian with a deep gaze. after a long while, he smiled faintly and said, ¡°president mo, when did you become so familiar with our sister xian? what is it that zhang yang and i can¡¯t listen to? why do you have to send us out? we also want to stay and care for sister xian. just now, we heard you mention that sister xian was injured. what happened?


    so what does this have to do with you, president mo? wasn¡¯t sister xian fine this morning? why was she injured after not seeing her for half a day? what kind of injury is it? is it severe?


    you seem to know very well about sister xian¡¯s injury. could it be that you knew about this? what happened today?¡±


    zhang yang had been standing behind lin feng the whole time. he watched as lin feng spoke to mo qian rudely. he could not help but feel nervous for his good brother!


    zhang yang was the only one who knew that lin feng had confessed to zhuang xian. zhang yang¡¯s intuition told him that mo qian treated zhuang xian differently! sitting in front of them, mo qian was here to visit zhuang xian.


    rather than saying that mr. mo was here to visit zhuang xian, it was better to say he was here to declare his sovereignty to them.


    since lin feng blocked mo qian at the dormitory entrance, today¡¯s war without smoke was destined to begin!


    zhuang xian was the only one who did not care. if she had paid more attention to mo qian and lin feng¡¯s current state, she could have seen something.


    zhang yang¡¯s intuition was entirely accurate. at least he could guess what lin feng was thinking. lin feng did not like mo qian. as for a reason, it was apparent now!


    mo qian¡¯s declaration of sovereignty just now was extraordinarily perfect and beautiful. it was like an extremely clean and sharp blade stabbing lin feng inside and out instantly. then, when he heard that mo qian wanted to chase him away, he couldn¡¯t hold it in and directly revealed his flaws.


    however, this was not the worst situation. even more tragic was that when lin feng slowly bared his fangs at mo qian and wanted to provoke him, mo qian did not put him in his eyes. or, to be precise, he did not think a small lin feng could become his love rival!


    zhuang xian didn¡¯t even like someone like herself, so how could she possibly have a good impression of a boy who was useless except for his youth?


    mo qian did not think that lin feng would pose a threat to him and zhuang xian. he was confident about this.


    as the perfect candidate for a rich husband in the eyes of the wealthy businessmen in city h, if mo qian thought that way, he was a little too modest.


    he should be more confident and arrogant!

 Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Chapter 551. Confident Old Uncle

    chapter 551: chapter 551. confident old uncle


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    mo qian thought silently. he glanced at zhuang xian, and his eyes darkened.


    however, it was a fleeting emotion that no one noticed, not even zhuang xian.


    zhuang xian was very beautiful. her ability and intelligence could also make many outstanding aristocratic children look up to her.


    mo qian was well aware of how outstanding and dazzling she was. he was waiting for the two years to pass quickly so that the girl he loved could grow up healthily and accept the love of her ¡®old uncle.¡¯ he was waiting for zhuang xian to see only him in her eyes.


    mo qian, who was only 26 years old this year, looked at lin feng, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. it was as if he was encouraging and mocking him. mo qian said to lin feng, ¡°you are brilliant.¡±


    lin feng did not know what other people thought of mo qian¡¯s smile, nor did he have the right to interfere. however, in lin feng¡¯s eyes, it was a malicious mockery. some dangerous thoughts sprouted in his mind! lin feng looked at mo qian with a cold gaze and took a few deep breaths.


    fortunately, lin feng was not an impulsive and stupid person. he knew that he was not mo qian¡¯s match and that the lin corporation¡¯s status in city h was only for the mo family to do odd jobs.


    therefore, although lin feng was very dissatisfied and depressed about mo qian¡¯s uninvited visit and mo qian¡¯s declaration of sovereignty to him, it seemed that he could do nothing to mo qian. he was not mo qian¡¯s match!


    ¡°but sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing! it is always said that ¡®being smart is easy to be fooled by cleverness.¡¯ sometimes, it was better not to understand things too clearly! do you understand what i mean?¡± mo qian saw lin feng was silent and did not speak, so he kindly opened his mouth to remind him.


    lin feng¡¯s expression was already a little ugly. zhang yang feared lin feng would be impulsive and take things too hard. he was afraid that if he let go, he would start fighting with mo qian! he held onto lin feng¡¯s arm tightly. he held onto lin feng¡¯s arm tightly.


    if that were the case, things would be bad.


    zhang yang looked at the sky helplessly in his heart. all he could think about was to ask his brother to calm down. he did not want to offend mo qian so badly now and then directly destroy all the businesses and channels the zhang family had in city h! his father wanted to continue working in city h for a few more years.


    that was undoubtedly a ridiculous matter. it was not something that small families like the lin family and the zhang family could provoke. the mo corporation had a deep foundation in city h.


    if zhang yang could think of these things, lin feng would naturally not have thought of them. right now, he was feeling indignant. heavy pressure on his chest made him feel a little suffocated.


    although lin feng would have to compromise and take a step back sooner or later, he did not want mo qian to feel too comfortable. that was why he had been dragging it out like this. he did not leave or sit down. he just wanted everyone to wait here!


    although li qin¡¯s brain wasn¡¯t as fast as mo qian and zhuang xian¡¯s, he still had some insight into the situation on the field!


    he looked at lin feng, standing behind him with his neck straightened. he thought momentarily and comforted him, ¡°alright, lin feng! i¡¯m here for this!


    i¡¯ll ask president mo about it later and pass it on to you! please help us out and stay outside for a while! sister xian and i have something to talk to president mo about. it¡¯ll be alright later!


    oh, right! didn¡¯t you say that you would help us get food? it¡¯s getting late now. there won¡¯t be anything to eat in the canteen later. hurry up and take a look! it just so happens that sister xian hasn¡¯t eaten yet. help sister xian pack a serving too!¡±


    li qin said gently. his mind was still thinking about how to phrase it. he was thinking about inviting lin feng and zhang yang out quietly so that mo qian could quickly tell him what had happened today. how exactly did his sister xian get injured, and what did this matter have to do with him?


    after all, when li qin approached the dormitory door just now, he smelled blood.. he had not forgotten this matter!

 Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: Chapter 552. Dog Nose

    chapter 552: chapter 552. dog nose


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    thinking about these messy things, li qin looked up and sized up zhuang xian and mo qian thoughtfully, but he did not find anything suspicious or wrong with them.


    these two people were more intelligent than each other. it was best if he did not do such a battle of wits and courage with them.


    in fact, with li qin¡¯s words to ease the tension, lin feng could walk down the stairs. no matter how unhappy and unwilling he was, this was a perfect solution.


    li qin was thinking for him. after all, he couldn¡¯t let lin feng and mo qian go against each other, right? lin feng was no match for mo qian!


    zhang yang looked at lin feng, who was still trying his luck and felt helpless. he smiled and tried to make up for lin feng, ¡± that¡¯s right, brother qin! if you didn¡¯t remind us, we would have forgotten about this! hahaha! let¡¯s now go over and take a look!¡±


    as he spoke, he turned to look at zhuang xian on the bed and asked gently, ¡°sister xian, what do you want to eat? i heard that the dishes in the cafeteria today are quite good!¡±


    although zhuang xian did not say anything, she had been watching mo qian and lin feng¡¯s conversation. when zhang yang spoke to her a second ago, her eyes were still on lin feng!


    zhuang xian understood lin feng¡¯s strange behavior today. she was lin feng¡¯s classmate; they could be considered friends, but they were only friends! she imew what lin feng was thinking but did not say anything.


    if lin feng still wanted something else from her, zhuang xian was destined to disappoint him.


    she believed that lin feng¡¯s admiration and love for her were heartfelt and passionate, but she could not respond to lin feng. she and lin feng were not suitable and were not the same people.


    zhuang xian felt that she belonged to the dark side. she did not seem worthy of normal and beautiful young men like lin feng and the others.


    zhuang xian heard zhang yang¡¯s words and snapped back to her senses. she turned her head to look at zhang yang and nodded slightly. ¡°anything is fine. you guys can buy whatever you want!¡±


    as she spoke, she looked at lin feng. seeing lin feng also looked at her, she said, ¡°thank you for making the trip.¡±


    lin feng did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that zhuang xian was completely different when talking to others than when she was talking to him. she seemed to be more distant and indifferent!


    even when zhang yang pulled him out, he did not intend to resist. this discovery made lin feng very unhappy. he frowned and looked at zhuang xian sadly.


    zhuang xian retracted her gaze and turned around. she realized that mo qian had been staring at her without moving.


    as if she felt mo qian¡¯s scrutiny, zhuang xian cleared her throat and said, ¡°didn¡¯t you deliberately send them away because you wanted to say something to li qin? now that they are gone hurry up and tell him!¡±


    hearing zhuang xian mention his name; li qin subconsciously looked at her. lin feng and zhang yang were there just now, so i didn¡¯t ask much. ¡°so what¡¯s going on? what¡¯s with the bloody smell on your body? are you seriously injured?¡±


    when zhuang xian heard this, she looked up at li qin. ¡°you knew i was injured all along? who told you that? old man? didn¡¯t he say that he would hide it from you first? why didn¡¯t he keep his word?¡±


    ¡°stop! stop!¡± when li qin heard zhuang xian¡¯s words, he immediately understood. he pointed at zhuang xian, then turned his head to look at mo


    qian and said in realization, ¡°so all of them know why you were injured! right? i¡¯m the only one who knows nothing like a fool!¡±


    looking at li qin, who looked like he was about to make a fool of himself the next moment, zhuang xian raised her right hand, indicating for li qin to calm down. she quickly explained, ¡°can you not be anxious? can you calm down? why are you still throwing a tantrum at such a young age? do you think you¡¯re still a three-year-old child?


    this is one of the reasons why the old man and i wanted to hide it from you! look at you now.. do you think we dared to tell you in advance? i¡¯m terrified that you¡¯ll secretly follow me when i go on a mission!¡±

    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    zhuang xian¡¯s tone was indifferent. this did not have any lethality to her! she did not pay much attention to li qin¡¯s glare at her.


    she put down her hand and muttered softly, ¡°i just didn¡¯t expect your dog nose to be so sharp! my wound is so tightly bandaged, and i didn¡¯t use any aromatic medicine. you can even smell it. you¡¯re indeed quite amazing!¡±


    after zhuang xian finished speaking, there was a faint teasing look in her eyes. she looked like she had bad intentions.


    li qin naturally understood zhuang xian¡¯s teasing. he was so angry that he rolled his eyes slightly, and the words ¡®i¡¯m not happy¡¯ were written on his forehead!


    zhuang xian didn¡¯t have the habit of coaxing her brother, so she let li qin vent his anger in silence. she even thought that he could finally be quiet for a while.


    zhuang xian heaved a sigh of relief when mo qian, sitting by her bed, spoke again. ¡°lin feng seems to treat you very special. are you two very familiar with each other? i wanted to invite them to dinner the last time we met, but they didn¡¯t participate. i thought you guys weren¡¯t very close.¡±


    hearing mo qian¡¯s question, zhuang xian felt guilty for no reason. she thought she must not let mo qian know lin feng confessed to her. otherwise, this person might let his imagination run wild!


    thinking about these things, zhuang xian pretended to smile and explained, ¡°actually, we¡¯re not very close. we¡¯re just classmates in the same class and group.¡±


    zhuang xian couldn¡¯t see any other emotions on mo qian¡¯s face, so she added, ¡°ah, that¡­l¡¯m already fine. there¡¯s no need for you to come here especially! a doctor has already treated my wound before. it¡¯s just a bullet graze. it¡¯s not very serious! besides, i¡¯m a doctor myself. i know what my condition is. i¡¯ll be fine in half a month. it¡¯s not a big deal!¡±


    zhuang xian stuttered as she spoke as if there was a screw hidden in her mouth!


    as she spoke, she looked up at mo qian¡¯s face occasionally as if she feared that mo qian would not believe her!


    upon hearing this, mo qian nodded his head after a long while. he did not ask any more questions about lin feng. he had already guessed some things but did not intend to interrogate zhuang xian or force her to confess.


    he knew that this kind of thing could not be avoided entirely. the light of the fireflies might still be able to be blocked, but what about the bright and noble moonlight? how could he hide it?


    mo qian sighed deeply in his heart. he looked at zhuang xian with a gentle and helpless gaze. he could not bear to blame zhuang xian for being so likable, so he could only blame himself for not declaring his sovereignty.


    there was a crazy idea in his mind that kept going up and down. he wanted zhuang xian to belong to him alone!


    silently listening to zhuang xian¡¯s explanation, mo qian suppressed the possessiveness in his heart and decided to get down to business first. he smiled gently and said, ¡°i don¡¯t care about the other things, but you must let me look at the wound on your arm!¡±


    it was rare for zhuang xian to say so much in front of mo qian. after much effort, she realized she could not escape mo qian¡¯s inescapable net. she felt a little helpless, but more than that, she felt a deep powerlessness!


    knowing that she could not escape, zhuang xian sighed softly and slowly moved her body closer to mo qian. she removed the blanket and clothes covering her body, exposing her wound to mo qian and li qin.


    the thin coat slipped off the girl¡¯s shoulders. zhuang xian was only wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and her left arm was wrapped in a thick bandage!


    even blood was seeping out from the gauze outside, which was glaring!


    mo qian subconsciously reached out his hand as if to touch it, but the hand


    stopped hesitantly. the other hand was clenched into a fist, and his brows were furrowed like a small mountain.


    without waiting for mo qian to speak, li qin leaned forward with a shocked and worried expression..

 Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Chapter 554. Giving You My Body?

    chapter 554: chapter 554. giving you my body?


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    he reached out and gently held zhuang xian¡¯s arm. his eyes widened as he stared at the blood on the gauze. he asked anxiously, ¡°sister xian, you look so serious. why did you come back alone? this is already needing hospitalization.


    why did you come back? do you want to die?¡±


    li qin¡¯s tone was very anxious. he was so nervous that he was about to go crazy! his eyes were red as he looked at zhuang xian.


    seeing that zhuang xian was looking at him silently, li qin glared at her angrily. he was at his wit¡¯s end with this girl. he took a deep breath and said, ¡°so, what kind of mission were you on at noon? even someone as powerful as you suffered such serious injuries. the danger of this mission can be seen at a glance!¡±


    as he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. when he turned to look at mo qian, his brows had already furrowed into a ball. ¡± so the mission that my sister xian is doing is related to you. the underworld gate will give you only a few types of missions. you probably won¡¯t need my sister xian to help you kill people, so she can only protect you! so zhuang xian was injured so badly to protect you! what kind of terrifying characters have you provoked!¡±


    li qin also knew a little about zhuang xian¡¯s assassination reputation at the underworld gate, so he knew very well how terrifying zhuang xian was.


    however, even a top-notch assassin like zhuang xian could not escape unscathed from this mission. how difficult would it have been? li qin didn¡¯t dare to imagine!


    he kept looking at mo qian as if he wanted to get some information from mo qian¡¯s face or eyes.


    mo qian didn¡¯t care about li qin¡¯s stare. his gaze was only focused on zhuang xian.


    of course, it wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t heard li qin¡¯s question. ¡°you¡¯re right,¡± mo qian replied. ¡°zhuang xian was seriously injured because she was trying to protect me! if you want to know the details of these things, you have to look at today¡¯s news and the press conference held by the city government in the afternoon.


    i could only escape unscathed today because of zhuang xian¡¯s protection!¡± as mo qian spoke, he seemed to have thought of something interesting. he lowered his eyes slightly to look at zhuang xian and raised his hand to help her pull up her clothes.


    ¡°i already said that words can¡¯t express gratitude for a great favor. then what about this favor that has been done more than once?¡±


    when mo qian said this, the corners of his mouth carried a very light smile. his gaze was steadfast and gentle. zhuang xian had been looking at him and had a bad feeling!


    sure enough, a woman¡¯s intuition would not lie. the next second, after mo qian said that shocking sentence, zhuang xian and li qin were stunned!


    ¡°you¡¯ve helped me so many times, but i¡¯ve never been able to repay you. i, mo qian, will devote my body to you in the future. you won¡¯t dislike me, right? ¡± li qin, who sensed that something was wrong, was speechless.


    was this something that the talented and intelligent mr. mo qian would say? why did he look so different from usual? was he possessed by something dirty?


    mo qian could be domineering and have a special aura. he could also be graceful and elegant but should not be so evil and seductive. this was not the impression that ordinary people had of mo qian.


    if he hadn¡¯t made it clear that the person in front of him was mo qian himself, li qin wanted to use a broom to beat out this ¡®prodigal son¡¯ who dared to speak wildly to his sister xian!


    however, looking at mo qian¡¯s face, which could not be replicated in the world,


    li qin cowered again..

 Chapter 555 - Chapter 555: Chapter 555. Propose Again?

    chapter 555: chapter 555. propose again?


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    li qin dared not do anything to mo qian, who was ¡®spouting nonsense,¡¯ so he could only widen his eyes and turn his head to look at zhuang xian.


    he originally wanted to get some good ideas from zhuang xian to solve his current predicament. however, when he saw zhuang xian¡¯s equally stunned expression, he froze!


    through zhuang xian¡¯s eyes, li qin seemed to have seen through something. he raised his eyebrows slightly and wondered if he should say something to help these two people who seemed to have suddenly been stuck in the progress bar.


    after mo qian finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on zhuang xian. he wanted to know how zhuang xian felt after hearing what he said.


    these were all his sincere expectations. he was genuine and not joking. he was earnest! because he believed that zhuang xian could guess what he was implying.


    of course, zhuang xian knew what kind of person mo qian was, so she was so surprised. she also knew mo qian was not joking but serious with her.


    as for how exactly he ¡®promised¡¯ her, zhuang xian didn¡¯t understand. however, this didn¡¯t stop mo qian from attacking.


    seeing zhuang xian stunned, mo qian chuckled and added, ¡°why don¡¯t i ask grandma to find an auspicious day to propose marriage to you? even if i can¡¯t propose to you now, i hope we can get engaged first. what do you think of this proposal?¡±


    although mo qian¡¯s tone of questioning zhuang xian sounded very calm, his beautiful eyes did not say that.


    seeing mo qian¡¯s reddened eyes, zhuang xian¡¯s heart throbbed. she opened her mouth, wanting to respond to mo qian¡¯s expectations, but after a long while, she still didn¡¯t know what to say.


    it was not impossible to reject mo qian directly as she rejected aunt feng.


    however, looking at mo qian¡¯s slightly red eyes and stubborn face, zhuang xian felt she could not say it.


    but if she agreed to mo qian¡¯s request, zhuang xian seemed unable to do it.


    getting engaged to mo qian was not part of zhuang xian¡¯s plans. even if she was willing to admit that she liked mo qian, the current situation did not allow her to do so.


    even the ye corporation would not be able to behave itself. an ye was already crippled, and zhuang jie¡¯s life and death were unknown. however, there was still ye xin, who continued to jump around in front of zhuang xian.


    they were getting restless, and zhuang xian had always been on guard and monitoring them. the current situation was that they were already in the middle and later stages of this war without any smoke. they urgently needed an opportunity to break through the stronghold in one fell swoop. zhuang xian did not dare to be careless!


    zhuang xian¡¯s earliest revenge plan was not so rushed. she was prepared to use


    the rest of her life to take revenge on the ye family and everyone involved in the ye family.


    if one had to ask her when she decided to change her mind and speed up the entire revenge plan, it should be when she first began to respond to mo qian!


    she had revealed to mo qian that she wanted him to wait patiently for her for two years. this was giving herself a chance and a chance for her and mo qian¡¯s future!


    of course, this was not the only factor that affected zhuang xian¡¯s change of heart. there were many other factors, such as the zhuang family¡¯s relatives who had been conveying their generous love to her, as well as the goodwill and expectations of her friends, the cute li qin, the capable ya qing, and even lin feng and zhang yang who had only known each other for more than ten days!


    zhuang xian had also absorbed their hope and strength to nourish her and continue living well. revenge was not the only thing in her life.


    most importantly, she had a greedy desire for mo qian. she wanted to be with mo qian!


    however, the prerequisite was that zhuang xian could complete everything she wanted to do in two years and end all the hatred and ties between her past and present life with ye xin and the ye family..

 Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Chapter 556. Zhuang Xian ‘s Concerns

    chapter 556: chapter 556. zhuang xian ¡®s concerns


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    zhuang xian had already imagined that after everything was settled, she would welcome and accept mo qian¡¯s sincere and passionate love with a new self!


    unlike now, where her hands were stained with filth and blood, her heart was filled with schemes and darkness, and her mind was filled with only hatred as she lived in this world.


    zhuang xian felt that, at this moment, she was not worthy of mo qian¡¯s love!


    before this, zhuang xian did not feel anything was wrong with her condition. however, that was before she shared her feelings with mo qian. now, it was completely different. zhuang xian was no longer the evil person who did not care about her safety and only wanted revenge. she had other things she wanted!


    thinking about all these messy things, zhuang xian¡¯s heart became even more conflicted and depressed.


    she knew that now was not the time. she still could not openly respond to mo qian¡¯s feelings.


    slowly withdrawing her gaze from mo qian, zhuang xian hid the pain in her eyes and pretended to laugh as she replied hoarsely, ¡°i don¡¯t think this suggestion is good!¡±


    as she spoke, she suddenly looked up at mo qian and chuckled. the emotions hidden in her eyes a second ago had disappeared at this moment.


    she added, ¡°the reason why i saved you today was actually to complete the mission! you don¡¯t have to be so grateful to me. that¡¯s what i should do! if it were anyone else, i would have done the same. because a mission is a mission, it has nothing to do with other factors. do you understand?


    ultimately, you only thought of this way to ¡®repay¡¯ me, right? what are you talking about? how can you be sure you¡¯re repaying me with your body? can¡¯t it be revenge?¡±


    as zhuang xian spoke, she seemed to feel that her words were too much. she would not allow herself to slander mo qian like this! the mo corporation¡¯s assets were comparable to a country¡¯s.


    it had already been mentioned before. the fact that mo qian had the idea of marrying the adopted daughter of the zhuang family was a great favor to zhuang xian. this was something that ordinary people would never dare to think of in their lifetime! mo qian was the best husband in the eyes of all the wealthy businessmen in city h.


    however, the situation on the scene was the exact opposite. it was young master mo who sincerely wanted to flatter the zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter and the zhuang family¡¯s adopted daughter who did not know what was good for her and repeatedly rejected the marriage!


    the world was unpredictable. who could say that he could always guess so accurately?


    zhuang xian turned her body and smiled at mo qian. she was still trying to find a way out for mo qian. ¡°i¡¯m sorry, president mo. i was joking just now. i believe that you were joking, too, right? so don¡¯t take it to heart. i think that this matter is a little ridiculous¡­oh no! it should be said that you were a little too impatient. president mo shouldn¡¯t have joked about this!¡±


    as zhuang xian said this, the fake smile in her eyes slowly disappeared. she wanted to use this method to dispel mo qian¡¯s thoughts again.


    however, how could someone as intelligent as mo qian give up on his goal so easily? today, zhuang xian was destined not to succeed.


    mo qian looked at zhuang xian, who was sitting on the bed. her face was pale, and she was eloquent in finding a way out for herself.


    mo qian¡¯s expression was calm. his gaze was deep as he watched zhuang


    xian¡¯s excellent performance seriously. the strange feeling from before surged in his heart again.


    in short, zhuang xian was not entirely ¡®free¡¯ to make any decisions related to him!


    zhuang xian had been trapped by something, so she had been overcautious and hesitant, not giving mo qian any chance to advance..

 Chapter 557 - Chapter 557: Chapter 557. The Second to Promise

    chapter 557: chapter 557. the second to promise


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    don¡¯t continue to move forward. zhuang xian seemed to be trying to say that their relationship could only stop here. that would make her very uneasy.


    if zhuang xian could read minds and knew what mo qian was thinking, she would probably be shocked because mo o?an had guessed zhuang xian¡¯s current situation!


    although he couldn¡¯t understand why the person in front of him was hesitating and struggling, it didn¡¯t stop mo qian from feeling sorry for zhuang xian.


    he looked at zhuang xian¡¯s expression of pretending to be generous and happy. he sighed heavily and smiled bitterly. ¡°you should know whether i¡¯m joking or not. i don¡¯t know why you try to push me away repeatedly, but i want to make it clear that my love for you will never change!


    i can understand that you rejected my proposal. after all, such a thing is too far away for you. i don¡¯t blame you! you told me to wait for you, and i can do that! but i still want to get a promise. can you give it to me?¡±


    zhuang xian¡¯s heart trembled when she heard mo qian¡¯s words. under mo qian¡¯s deep and distant gaze, zhuang xian panicked momentarily. she felt that mo qian seemed to know her secret at that second!


    mo qian guessed that she was reborn, right? with this question in mind, zhuang xian fell into mo qian¡¯s eyes.


    seeing that zhuang xian was looking at him silently as if she was dumbfounded, mo qian pretended to laugh helplessly and asked, ¡°i¡¯ve already compromised to this point time and time again. are you still going to continue pretending to be dead? don¡¯t you like me?¡±


    li qin¡¯s eyes widened, and his face was filled with excitement and nervousness. this scene made him even more nervous than when he won the championship at the international hacker alliance! he looked at zhuang xian and mo qian before him and gulped quietly, trying to ease the tension in his heart.


    although he still didn¡¯t understand how his sister xian and mo qian developed their relationship, it didn¡¯t stop him from getting excited when he saw his sister xian being pursued by a man.


    being stared at by these two eyes, zhuang xian quickly returned to her senses. after a long while, she looked at mo qian and asked softly, ¡°what promise do you want from me?¡± she let out a faint sigh.


    mo qian chuckled after hearing this, like a greedy child finally getting a small piece of candy.


    he looked at zhuang xian and said gently, ¡°it¡¯s not something difficult to accomplish! i want you to promise me that no matter what difficult choices you encounter in the future or insurmountable difficulties, you must remember that i can be your only backer! i¡¯m willing to do everything i have to help you achieve your goal! can i beg you to give me such a chance?¡±


    he felt like he was watching a classic romance movie, and it was the kind of sadistic love that was engraved in his heart. li qin was speechless.


    although li qin himself also felt that his thoughts were somewhat ruining the atmosphere at the scene, he could not suppress the questions and confusion that filled his mind!


    but soon, what happened next would make li qin forget all these questions.


    after hearing mo qian¡¯s request, zhuang xian was relieved. she smiled, touched, and was gratified. she looked at mo qian¡¯s gentle and firm eyes. after a few seconds, she nodded gently. ¡°i promise you! i¡¯ll learn how to pull you into my life, but i¡¯ll be the one to determine the time and opportunity to issue this ¡®pass.¡¯ i will also learn to see you as my ¡®backer.¡¯ are you satisfied now?¡±


    zhuang xian thought she would need to spend a lot of energy and time to compromise with mo qian, but the situation did not seem to be the case. she did it very quickly. it was not as difficult as she thought. she was not as heavy and afraid as when she promised mo qian at the dormitory door the first time.. she was now relaxed and happy!

 Chapter 558 - Chapter 558: Chapter 558. Is He a Pervert?

    chapter 558: chapter 558. is he a pervert?


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    mo qian did not seem to be satisfied with zhuang xian¡¯s agreement. he looked at zhuang xian¡¯s slightly curved lips, and his eyes darkened slightly. before he could react, his body¡¯s actions were already faster than his brain¡¯s rational thinking.


    in front of li qin, mo qian gently kissed zhuang xian.


    mo qian¡¯s lips had only touched zhuang xian lightly. it was not even a kiss.


    looking at the smile on mo qian¡¯s lips, li qin suddenly had an extraordinary thought. he felt mo qian¡¯s kiss on sister xian didn¡¯t seem like he was treating a lover.


    in any case, he had seen couples kissing on tv. it was not as simple as just a kiss. instead, it was more like an adult rewarding a child.


    with the questions in his heart, li qin slowly restrained his shocked expression. only god knew that the scene before him had already become like this, yet his mind could still think of these nonsensical things. li qin was also quite impressed by his scattered thoughts.


    however, someone else was more shocked and incredulous than him!


    zhuang xian¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at the man who had ambushed her in disbelief.


    zhuang xian didn¡¯t expect mo qian to be so bold. he dared to kiss her like this in front of a living person. was he treating li qin as if he didn¡¯t exist? or was he crazy?


    no! whether li qin was here or not, mo qian shouldn¡¯t have kissed her! she was still an underage university student in this life! was this ¡®old man¡¯ a pervert? or was he a pedophile?


    there might be something wrong with mo qian!


    the expression on zhuang xian¡¯s face kept changing. mo qian found it very cute and exciting. he did not seem to think anything was wrong with his actions. as he turned his head to size zhuang xian up, he did not forget to explain with a smile, ¡°there¡¯s no proof. i think it¡¯s safer to stamp it!


    fortunately, li qin is also here today. he can be considered our witness today! he heard what you said just now. if you go back on your word or regret it in the future, he can testify for me! you can¡¯t deny it!¡±


    li qin, who had been sitting next to zhuang xian and did not speak for the second half of the trip, was forced to be a witness.


    li qin was stunned for a moment. his intuition told him that this was not an easy task. after thinking about it, he turned and looked at zhuang xian.


    zhuang xian felt a little better after slandering mo qian in her heart. however, after hearing mo qian¡¯s ¡®stamp¡¯ theory, she immediately became confused. so in mo qian¡¯s eyes, li qin had always existed! if mo qian hadn¡¯t said it, zhuang xian would have thought that mo qian was an ¡®old hooligan¡¯ who acted as if no one else was around!


    mo qian, who did not know that his image in zhuang xian¡¯s heart had fallen to that of an old hooligan, pervert, or even a pedophile, was still smiling at zhuang xian with a gentle and doting gaze!


    zhuang xian couldn¡¯t ignore mo qian¡¯s drooling gaze. she sighed deeply and said softly, ¡°you have to pay more attention to your influence in the future. it¡¯s not good to do this. don¡¯t do this again, okay?¡±


    hearing zhuang xian¡¯s warning, mo qian¡¯s smile disappeared. he lowered his eyes and looked into zhuang xian¡¯s eyes. after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, ¡°alright, i got it!¡±


    after hearing mo qian¡¯s promise, zhuang xian seemed to see a large samoyed dog with drooping ears on mo qian¡¯s body. it looked aggrieved, as if its owner had scolded it. it looked a little pitiful.


    zhuang xian, who was not an adult on the outside but was almost 30 years old on the inside, suddenly realized what she was thinking..

 Chapter 559 - Chapter 559: Chapter 559. Lei Cheng is Here Too

    chapter 559: chapter 559. lei cheng is here too


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    before this, miss zhuang xian did not realize she had such a beauty complex. if this wasn¡¯t a beauty complex, then what was it? she couldn¡¯t bear to blame a good-looking person that turned into a dog.


    in the words of young people nowadays, zhuang xian could no longer be considered a beauty lover. she already looked like she had fallen in love. what dog-like mo qian? this was soft-hearted and doting!


    zhuang xian looked at mo qian before her and sighed slightly in her heart. she did not know how many times she had sighed today. it seemed that mo qian could always make her feel so helpless.


    zhuang xian might not have known that two people who liked each other could not do anything to each other. because they wanted and cared about each other, they treated each other with tolerance and gentleness. of course, this tolerance for liking someone completely differed from treating others.


    after zhuang xian and mo qian stopped talking, the atmosphere in the dormitory became quiet. however, this subtle awkwardness and the ambiguous relationship between zhuang xian and mo qian did not last long.


    soon, assistant to mo qian, who had left for nearly 20 minutes, brought back the military doctor in the base¡¯s infirmary and chief instructor lei cheng. lei cheng was walking in front of the group of people. when he pushed open the door and saw mo qian, he suddenly sensed the strange atmosphere in the dormitory. he sized up mo qian a few times and saw nothing different from mo qian¡¯s face. then, he beckoned to li yan behind him, signaling the female military doctor to come over.


    ¡°chief instructor lei? why did you come to our dormitory? is there something wrong?¡± li qin looked at lei cheng, who had suddenly appeared, and the doctor behind him. his intuition told him that something was wrong, so he asked.


    they could not hide zhuang xian¡¯s injury. the fact that she was injured could not be hidden! after all, zhuang xian would still have to deal with the military during the military training exam.


    but even so, they couldn¡¯t just directly reveal everything in front of lei cheng like this, right?


    lei cheng was a soldier. it was impossible for him not to see the clues of zhuang xian¡¯s injury. once lei cheng saw it, how would they explain to lei cheng that it was a bullet graze?


    even if mo qian and lei cheng were familiar with each other, shouldn¡¯t he consider this matter carefully and hide it appropriately?


    previously, li qin had forgotten to ask a fundamental question. mo qian had come to visit his sister xian but only brought an assistant and a driver. he did not even get a doctor! this was a little strange. since mo qian knew that zhuang xian was injured, he couldn¡¯t be unprepared. therefore, there should be something else that he did not know.


    li qin was still brilliant. at least, his guesses were generally correct, and his analysis was also very accurate. just as he said those words full of doubts, mo qian spoke up and answered many of li qin¡¯s doubts!


    mo qian glanced sideways at the vigilant li qin and explained, ¡°i asked my assistant to get lei cheng to help me get the doctor from the base! lei cheng is not an outsider, and old master li also knows about this matter, so li qin, you don¡¯t have to worry. i¡¯ll take care of everything!¡±


    after mo qian finished speaking, he turned to look at zhuang xian on the bed. he gave zhuang xian a reassuring look and smiled gently.


    zhuang xian felt as if this smile had electrocuted her. her brain went numb. she nodded slightly without resistance, indicating she understood what mo qian meant.


    she retracted her gaze and glanced sideways at li qin, indicating for him to calm down.


    when li qin saw his sister xian¡¯s signal, he immediately curled the corners of


    his mouth slightly, indicating that he understood. he finally understood that he had been worrying for nothing just now.


    lei cheng saw that mo qian was explaining to li qin and smiled. he took a few steps toward mo qian and found a seat with a comprehensive view for himself.. after sitting down, he explained, ¡°i only felt that the two of you were extraordinary, but i never thought that the two of you would be so extraordinary! ¡°

 Chapter 560 - Chapter 560: Chapter 560. Military Doctor Li Yan

    chapter 560: chapter 560. military doctor li yan


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    ¡°one is the grandson of the old chief li zhen, the only grandson of the li family. the other is even more powerful. she¡¯s even a top-notch assassin of the underworld gate! oh my god!¡±


    as lei cheng spoke, he turned his head and looked at zhuang xian and mo


    qian with surprise. after thinking for a moment, he continued to say in shock, ¡°i¡¯ve already finished reading all the major news in city h today! mo qian¡¯s company suffered a major terrorist attack this afternoon!


    oh my god, zhuang xian! today¡¯s difficult protection mission was completed so well by you with more than ten people. you¡¯re too amazing! if you weren¡¯t sitting before me right now, i would think it was a movie! even our military wouldn¡¯t dare to be so arrogant. with just a dozen of your subordinates, you dare to go to war with dozens of well-equipped terrorists! amazing!


    but then again! since you have such good martial arts, why must you participate in military training? this is the elementary military training plan we have prepared for the freshmen of saint capital university in advance. it shouldn¡¯t be comparable to your daily training, right? aren¡¯t we just brandishing our sabers in front of guan yu?¡±


    it was as if he had finally met a living war god. as lei cheng opened his mouth to speak, he would not stop.


    he looked at zhuang xian, leaning on the bed, and continued chattering non-stop. the excitement in his eyes was even more apparent.


    mo qian saw lei cheng finally willing to stop and shook his head helplessly.


    ¡°are you done? if you¡¯re done, can you keep quiet and let the doctor treat zhuang xian¡¯s hand injury?¡±


    after mo qian finished speaking, he glared at lei cheng without batting an eyelid, blaming him for talking too much and delaying the doctor from treating zhuang xian¡¯s wound.


    lei cheng, who felt that he had done nothing wrong and was even stared at for no reason, was speechless.


    li qin did not pay much attention to what lei cheng said. he only looked at the doctor with a worried expression. seeing that the other party was nimble in removing the white gauze still stained with blood for zhuang xian, he frowned slightly because he saw zhuang xian¡¯s expression as she endured the pain!


    li yan naturally noticed the commotion. she looked up at zhuang xian¡¯s face, and something flashed across her eyes. she said softly, ¡°i should have seen you in the infirmary before, right? i often notice you are injured. last time, it was on your face. this time, it is a different place! a bullet wound like this is not a simple injury. i suggest you go home and recuperate. otherwise, getting infected and having a fever is easy!¡±


    li yan was acting out of her professional ethics as a doctor. at the same time, she was also concerned about her friend¡¯s sister. when she saw zhuang xian¡¯s forbearance, she was pretty impressed by this girl! that was why she said such a thing.


    because she could tell from zhuang xian¡¯s condition that zhuang xian was in so much pain because she did not use painkillers!


    when li yan was in the army, she had gone to the battlefield several times, so such an injury was not enough to scare her. however, it was rare for her to see someone as patient as zhuang xian.


    after zhuang xian heard li yan¡¯s words, she turned her head to look at her, then retracted her gaze without any reaction. she endured the pain of li yan treating her wound and said in a muffled voice, ¡°thank you for your concern, but it¡¯s okay. i¡¯m fine like this. i don¡¯t have to go home.¡±


    li yan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. as if she had thought of something, she asked tentatively, ¡°you¡¯re afraid that your brothers will find out, right?¡±


    when zhuang xian heard li yan¡¯s tone, a strange look flashed across her eyes. she turned her head to look at li yan again. the sizing and vigilance in her eyes were very obvious!


    seeing zhuang xian looking at her warily, li yan was slightly stunned. then, as if she had just reacted, she chuckled and explained, ¡°i seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. i¡¯m your big brother zhuang bai¡¯s classmate and friend. the last time he came to the base to see you, he even asked me to use the ¡®back door¡¯ to get him in! hahaha!


    it was a coincidence that day. you and your brother entered the infirmary right after each other.. when i changed your dressing, zhuang bai sat in my office!¡±

 Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Chapter 561. What Happened That Day

    chapter 561: chapter 561. what happened that day


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    li yan kept talking as she busied herself with her hands.


    seeing zhuang xian¡¯s expression change, she thought momentarily before explaining, ¡°i thought that you didn¡¯t take painkillers, and i didn¡¯t have the time to bring them when i came over just now. i could only talk to you like this. perhaps i could distract you and make you feel less pain! if you don¡¯t like it, i won¡¯t say anything!¡±


    li yan had good intentions. zhuang xian naturally wouldn¡¯t blame her for such a reason. she wasn¡¯t unreasonable, so after a slight sigh, she said in a low voice, ¡°it¡¯s okay; you can talk to me! coincidentally, i also wanted to ask you about my brother coming over that day. when were you classmates with him?¡±


    zhuang xian, who had just sent a chat request to li yan, did not know how much trouble li yan would bring her in the next second!


    she was so jealous of mo qian that she felt helpless and had a headache!


    li yan saw that zhuang xian¡¯s expression had eased up, so she smiled lightly and began to bandage zhuang xian¡¯s wound. ¡± your brother and i were classmates in high school; we¡¯ve been old friends for many years! however, when he suddenly contacted me that day, i was shocked. he even said he wanted to use my connections to come in and see his sister, who had suffered through military training!


    speaking of which, your big brother is good to you! that day, he landed at city h¡¯s airport in the afternoon, right? he didn¡¯t take a break and came to the base to see you. being a biological sister is nothing more than this! zhuang bai is good to you!¡±


    zhuang bai did not tell zhuang xian anything about what li yan had told him during dinner. zhuang xian had been too excited and happy to notice what had happened!


    it was only now that she knew that her brother had rushed to the base to see her as soon as he got home that day!


    zhuang bai¡¯s gentleness and kindness, as well as his thoughtfulness and carefulness, were the qualities that could move zhuang xian¡¯s heart the most.


    zhuang xian was slightly lost in thought but couldn¡¯t interrupt li yan¡¯s talkative mood. she looked up at li qin beside zhuang xian and seemed to have realized that the people in this dormitory weren¡¯t all the same. she had some faint doubts in her heart. she stood straight and put away the things in her hands before saying, ¡°you probably didn¡¯t know where your brother was at that time, right? he only realized later that the student was you!


    only after you left, the infirmary did he suddenly react and want to run out to look for you!¡± li yan seemed to have thought of something pleasing as she spoke. a pleased smile appeared on her face. her smile was filled with the kind of big sister who cared about her younger sister¡¯s love life. it was filled with craftiness and joy.


    zhuang xian immediately reacted. a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes as she tried to interrupt li yan.


    however, li qin, sitting beside her, seemed very interested in this matter. he didn¡¯t notice that zhuang xian was about to speak and directly took over li yan¡¯s words. ¡± what happened after that? why didn¡¯t brother zhuang meet sister xian? i remember that it was very late that day. brother zhuang only met


    sister xian downstairs in our dormitory. it wasn¡¯t in the infirmary.¡±


    ¡°your question is on point! you might not know this, but when zhuang bai was running out of the infirmary, he happened to see zhuang xian being stopped by a boy to confess!¡±


    as li yan spoke, she looked at zhuang xian, who was lying on the bed with a mocking expression. ¡°it was zhuang bail s first time meeting zhuang xian, so it was inappropriate for him to expose the situation. although we saw it, we dared not disturb zhuang xian and that boy! do you know that the scene then was beautiful and romantic? it brought back many memories of my youth!¡±


    ¡°that¡­doctor, can you help me look at the bruise on my leg?¡±

 Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Chapter 562. Whatever You Are Afraid Of Comes

    chapter 562: chapter 562. whatever you are afraid of comes


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    zhuang xian suddenly interrupted li yan loudly. she looked at mo qian, sitting opposite her, with a slightly unnatural look in her eyes!


    zhuang xian felt a little helpless and crazy. she had thought everything would be fine after sending lin feng and zhang yang away. at least mo qian would not find out about this! this person did come at the right time!


    however, zhuang xian did not expect li yan to be still able to charge out from the middle of the road and destroy all the covers in front of her even though she had been cautious to avoid it!


    feeling mo qian and li qin¡¯s scrutinizing gazes, zhuang xian pursed her lips unnaturally. it was as if she could skip the previous topic after doing so. she still wanted to lift the blanket and ask li yan to help her take a look at the bruises and redness on her leg due to some collisions.


    she looked up at li yan and gestured for her to look at the bruise on her leg. she added, ¡°actually, it¡¯s not a very important injury. can you leave some for me if you have any medicine to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis?¡±


    as the only two women present, li yan finally noticed zhuang xian¡¯s embarrassment. after thinking for a moment, she replied, ¡°sure! i do have this kind of ordinary medicine here. if you want it, i¡¯ll get it for you!¡±


    zhuang xian nodded stiffly when she heard this because she had already noticed the unease on mo qian¡¯s face. this was the first time zhuang xian had felt guilty and uneasy in front of anyone other than her family since she was reborn.


    she seemed very worried that mo qian would be angry, but even when li qin opened her mouth and asked about what had happened that day, mo qian did nothing else!


    if zhuang xian weren¡¯t so unnatural and guilty, she would have noticed that mo qian¡¯s gaze had always been on the obvious and even abnormally scary bruises and redness on her legs.


    ¡°sister xian? sister xian! i¡¯m asking you about lin feng confessing to you that day! are you even listening to me? why do you keep peeking at president mo and not saying anything?¡±


    li qin had been talking excitedly for most of the day, but when he looked up, he saw sister xian, who had been in a daze the whole time. she did not listen to his words at all. li qin was highly helpless. he pursed his lips and followed zhuang xian¡¯s gaze to look at mo qian!


    after thinking momentarily, he said, ¡°lin feng has always liked you, sister xian. of course, president mo likes you very much, and you have a good impression of president mo! don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t know about this.


    so when you rejected lin feng, were you gentle and tactful? don¡¯t make it sound too severe and hurt his heart! lin feng is a good person. even if you can¡¯t be lovers, being friends is still very good!¡±


    after li qin finished speaking, zhuang xian finally lost her patience. she turned her head and looked at li qin indifferently. ¡°1actually, you don¡¯t have to say so much. no one here wants to hear you nag, so shut up and rest, okay? ¡±


    after receiving zhuang xian¡¯s death threat, li qin sobered up a little. he stretched out his hand and made a zipping gesture on his mouth, indicating that he would not speak anymore. however, his shrewd eyes would occasionally sweep past mo qian and lei cheng, who was behind mo qian.


    seeing that li qin was finally willing to be quiet, zhuang xian heaved a sigh of relief. when she looked up at mo qian again, her eyes were filled with a probing look.


    mo qian, on the other hand, did not seem to notice. he only looked at the spot on zhuang xian¡¯s leg where the medicine was applied with a severe expression. after li qin stopped, the dormitory fell into a slightly strange atmosphere. the entire scene seemed a little awkward and dull.


    ¡°there are so many injuries on your legs. it shouldn¡¯t have been a day or two. when i come over tomorrow, i¡¯ll bring you the ointment for the bruises and injuries we use at home! it¡¯s an excellent prescription that grandma asked someone to find. it works well for me. you¡¯ll stay in the base for a few more days, so you definitely don¡¯t have any medicine. i¡¯ll send it to you tomorrow afternoon!¡±


    mo qian raised his eyes and looked at zhuang xian on the bed with worry and heartache. he spoke slowly and gently..

 Chapter 563 - Chapter 563: Chapter 563. It Was Not a Discussion

    chapter 563: chapter 563. it was not a discussion


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    lei cheng saw that li yan had already helped zhuang xian treat the bruises on her leg, so he hooked his hand slightly, indicating that li yan could leave.


    he glanced at mo qian beside him and said softly, ¡°i¡¯ll send doctor li out now. i¡¯ll come back to look for you later. wait for me!¡±


    as he spoke, he stood up and followed behind li yan. he was about to leave the dormitory, but before he could take two steps, he was stopped by mo qian!


    ¡°don¡¯t you think that there¡¯s something wrong with how the military assigns dormitories to students? when did blue eagle base become so poor? are your empty dormitory buildings just decorations? even if it¡¯s left empty, you don¡¯t plan to let these students use it?¡± mo qian asked in a low voice.


    he turned his head to look at lei cheng with a very calm expression. seeing that lei cheng was only looking at him in a daze, mo qian continued to ask, ¡°the idea of boys and girls living together was your idea? did old chief li have no objections to this? these students would be freshmen after school starts in a few days. many of them are already 18 years old! i don¡¯t think i need to say anything more. you people from the military should understand!


    indeed, you can¡¯t stop the beautiful feelings of youth, but this basic sense of male and female, the most basic social distance, should still be maintained, right? ¡±


    after listening to mo qian¡¯s words seriously, lei cheng raised his eyebrows and said tentatively, ¡°you are so bothered by my dormitory allocation method just now. it can¡¯t be because of zhuang xian, right? you no longer want zhuang xian and lin feng to stay under the same roof?¡±


    lei cheng looked straight into mo qian¡¯s eyes and was very curious. the expression on his face was very playful and gossipy. if mo qian dared to answer yes directly, he would consider mo qian¡¯s suggestion!


    letting the girl his brother liked live under the same roof with another male classmate was a little unreasonable. besides, this was not a big deal. it was not difficult! it was something that he could solve with just a word.


    lei cheng did not intend to let mo qian succeed so quickly. he just wanted to see his old friend¡¯s appearance when he blossomed.


    mo qian did not seem to care about lei cheng¡¯s probing. he looked up at lei cheng and replied casually, ¡°so what? so what if he isn¡¯t? do you think your actions were right? it is better to be safe than sorry! as the chief instructor of this group of students, shouldn¡¯t you think more about them?


    are you saying all this is nonsense?


    lei cheng wanted to raise his hands and surrender when he heard young master mo¡¯s reasonable argument.


    he chuckled helplessly and looked over mo qian¡¯s shoulder at zhuang xian on the bed. after thinking momentarily, he replied, ¡°good, good, good! it¡¯s indeed my fault for not thinking it through, alright! i¡¯ll give the order tomorrow to redistribute the dormitories for these students. is that okay? my young master!¡±


    ignoring lei cheng¡¯s teasing, mo qian frowned slightly. he withdrew his gaze from lei cheng and said in a quiet tone, ¡°the others can stay in the dormitory tonight, but zhuang xian must leave this dormitory today. i think the studio apartment i lived in before is perfect! i¡¯ll send you there later, okay?¡±


    mo qian¡¯s tone suddenly became gentler.


    however, zhuang xian¡¯s intuition told her that mo qian wasn¡¯t discussing with her but was doing it tactfully and domineeringly.


    it was not that mo qian was not jealous of lin feng just now. it was just that he did not show it in some factual matters.


    mo qian had put his confrontation with lin feng on the surface. there was his strength, but also his gentle and strong competitiveness! there was no unnecessary nonsense or pulling between him and lin feng. an intelligent person like zhuang xian naturally understood this logic..

 Chapter 564 - Chapter 564: Chapter 564. Zhuang Xian is Guilty

    chapter 564: chapter 564. zhuang xian is guilty


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    zhuang xian looked at mo qian in front of her. this person¡¯s face was filled with the expression that he could not be rejected. she took a deep breath and decided to give up. she pretended to be dead in silence.


    she retracted her gaze from mo qian, and her fingers subconsciously knocked on the bed she was sitting on. she was so obedient that it was as if she had been possessed.


    at least in the eyes of li qin and lei cheng, this was indeed the case.


    not only had lei cheng never seen such a quiet and obedient zhuang xian, but even li qin, zhuang xian¡¯s best friend, had also never seen such an easygoing zhuang xian.


    li qin felt that he had seen a ghost today!


    lei cheng turned his body sideways and looked at mo qian, then at zhuang


    xian. he shrugged his shoulders helplessly. ¡°alright! as long as your eldest young master is happy, anything is fine! so this is how it should be handled, right? can i go now?¡±


    when mo qian heard this, he glanced at lei cheng indifferently.


    he said nothing, but lei cheng understood what he meant. he immediately took a step forvvard and left the dormitory with li yan.


    before li yan followed lei cheng out of the room, she turned back to look at zhuang xian. she said nothing, but her eyes seemed filled with embarrassment and guilt!


    she had already heard the conversation between mo qian and lei cheng. she knew her gossip had directly sold out her good friend¡¯s sister! what else did she not understand now?


    now, anyone who was not blind could probably tell that the famous mo qian of city h was interested in zhuang xian, the adopted daughter of the zhuang family!


    mo qian liked zhuang xian, and he wanted her openly. he didn¡¯t care what the outside world thought of him!


    if he had cared less about zhuang xian, he would not have made such a big fuss tonight. he did not hesitate to offend lei cheng, the army general, to separate lin feng and zhuang xian!


    mo qian was very efficient and decisive. it was no wonder that he was so successful.


    li yan followed behind lei cheng and thought silently.


    she thought this way because she knew very little about the friendship between mo qian and lei cheng. therefore, she could only imagine what mo qian and lei cheng were thinking from her perspective. wouldn¡¯t she be


    after lei cheng and li yan left, there were only a few people left in the dormitory, except for mo qian¡¯s assistant.


    the assistant stood behind mo qian with a hesitant expression on his face. he stammered as if he had something to say!


    no one in the room seemed to notice the assistant¡¯s hesitation. they just fell into a strange silence. li qin ignored this slight awkwardness and looked at mo qian¡¯s expression, trying to find even a trace of evidence that his future brother-in-law was jealous.


    however, he did not succeed after a long while because mo qian¡¯s expression was too calm and cold. he could not see anything special.


    mo qian didn¡¯t care about li qin sizing him up. from the beginning to the end, his gaze was on zhuang xian alone. when zhuang xian was cold and calm, he was watching her. when she wanted to hide something, he was also watching. at this moment, zhuang xian¡¯s gaze was very unnatural, and the expression on her face was a little guilty. he had to take a good look!


    just as li qin thought, it was rare for zhuang xian to be so obedient and silent. after a while, zhuang xian seemed unable to stand mo qian¡¯s gaze finally. she looked up at mo qian and thought briefly before asking softly, ¡°are you angry?¡±


    mo qian raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°am i being obvious? i thought you couldn¡¯t tell?¡±


    zhuang xian heard mo qian¡¯s tone and had a bad feeling. she pursed her lips and wanted to explain, but mo qian interrupted her.


    ¡°you haven¡¯t eaten dinner yet, have you? how about this? we¡¯ll move you to the apartment over there first, and then we¡¯ll get our assistant to bring dinner over from the cafeteria. it would be best to have a quiet, comfortable environment to recuperate now.. it¡¯s just right to go there!¡±

 Chapter 565 - Chapter 565: Chapter 565. Changing Dormitory

    chapter 565: chapter 565. changing dormitory


    translator: dragon boat translation editor: dragon boat translation


    perhaps because mo qian¡¯s tone was too gentle and tough, zhuang xian did not even react in time.


    she was only slightly stunned, but at this moment, she had already missed the only chance to reject mo qian.


    at mo qian¡¯s unusually gentle and calm expression, zhuang xian suddenly thought of a ferocious animal. the grassland lion king lay lazily on the grass after eating a full meal and basking in the sun. its posture was lazy, but no one dared to ignore its existence!


    li qin took zhuang xian¡¯s silence as a tacit agreement. he felt that his sister xian seemed a little cowardly and was held tightly by mo qian!


    however, since sister xian had no objections, li qin naturally could not reject mo qian. in fact, in his heart, he agreed with mo qian. his sister xian needed a quiet environment to rest and recuperate. this dormitory building was always crowded and noisy. how could his sister xian sleep well?


    most importantly, they had to prevent the injury on zhuang xian¡¯s arm from being exposed occasionally. if others found out about the gunshot wound, they could not explain the situation!


    after another 10 minutes, lin feng and zhang yang returned to the dormitory with dinner. they looked at the empty room before them and were a little confused.


    lin fen tilted his head and exchanged a confused look with zhang yang. both of them were very confused about the situation in front of them. it had only been a short while, but everyone in the dormitory seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. even zhuang xian, who was injured and lying on the bed, was gone. even zhuang xian¡¯s toiletries and clothes were gone!


    the camera switched back to another military officer¡¯s dormitory building in


    blue eagle base. zhuang xian, who had been very quiet, had been ¡®escorted¡¯ by mo qian and li qin out of the student dormitory. she looked at the familiar apartment and let out a sigh of relief.


    she leaned on the brand-new bed and looked at mo qian from the corner of her eye. mo qian was talking to li qin behind him. when he noticed zhuang xian¡¯s gaze, he turned around and asked gently, ¡°what¡¯s wrong? is your wound hurting again? or are you hungry? you can tell me directly if you want anything.¡±


    looking at mo qian¡¯s caring look, zhuang xian¡¯s lips unconsciously curled slightly. ¡°no! i want to ask you, are you not planning to leave tonight? it¡¯s already dark now. the base still has a curfew at 11 p.m. be careful when you get out! i guess you haven¡¯t completely dealt with what happened this afternoon. is it appropriate for you to stay here and laze around? sister mo ye has so many things to deal with. can she handle it alone?


    anyway, my injury is just like this. it¡¯s not very serious. i¡¯ll pay attention to it later. don¡¯t worry! now that you¡¯ve seen what you should know, i think it¡¯s time to leave!¡±


    as zhuang xian said this, she did not forget to glance at mo qian¡¯s assistant, standing at the door with a tense body and an anxious expression.


    she had already noticed that this assistant seemed to have something to say to mo qian. however, because mo qian had been staring at her, he had not found a suitable opportunity.


    zhuang xian looked at him and said, ¡°if you have something urgent to say, just say it. i won¡¯t hold your young master hostage.


    after hearing zhuang xian¡¯s words, the assistant realized she was talking to him. he was stunned momentarily before hurriedly explaining, ¡°i¡¯m sorry, zhuang fourth miss. i didn¡¯t mean that! it¡¯s just that the old lady and the young miss at home have already sent me a few messages. they keep asking when the young master will be back. there are still many things waiting for him to return to the company to deal with!¡±


    as the assistant spoke, he did not forget to bow and apologize to zhuang xian.


    his expression was one of fear and trepidation.


    mo xi was injured in the terrorist attack so he would be taking over the position of mo qian¡¯s special assistant for a while. this was the first time he was working for his young master, so he was inevitably a little nervous.


    naturally, he could tell that his young master treated zhuang xian differently, so he did not dare to offend zhuang xian. he only needed to agree respectfully..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The assistant did not expect that Fourth Miss Zhuang would be able to see through his well-hidden emotions. She was meticulous!


    After hearing the assistant¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian looked at MO Qian. Her exquisite and bright face was filled with an expression of ¡®as expected.¡¯ She chuckled and said, ¡°Now that I¡¯ve eaten my dinner and other people are here to take care of me, can you leave without worry?


    Honestly, you didn¡¯t have to come to see me today. After all, the military training here will end in a few days. We¡¯ll be able to leave this base soon. I¡¯ll make you some snacks then. How about that?¡±


    To hear Zhuang Xian coaxing someone in such a gentle voice was just as unbelievable as Zhuang Xian¡¯s obedience.


    Sitting behind MO Qian, Li Qin looked at Zhuang Xian with his mouth agape. It was as if he felt that Zhuang Xian¡¯s attitude was shocking!


    MO Qian was delighted with Zhuang Xian¡¯s gentle tone. His beautiful and amorous phoenix eyes flashed with an unmistakable smile.


    After thinking for a moment, he sighed and nodded gently. ¡°That¡¯s good. I do have some things to do. It¡¯s getting late, and you¡¯re injured. You need to rest early! I can let you go, but you have to remember what you just said! Make me some snacks!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, the smile on her face became even more vibrant and beautiful. She did not expect MO Qian to be so easy to coax. She thought MO Qian would take the opportunity to make some unreasonable requests.


    MO Qian echoed her suggestion. Making snacks was a small matter, so she could naturally achieve it.


    Zhuang Xian nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll keep my word. Don¡¯t worry! ¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll come and see you tomorrow afternoon. Have a good rest tonight! I¡¯ll handle Lei Cheng¡¯s matter; you don¡¯t need to worry about it; rest and recuperate.¡± MO Qian said. His handsome face was full of love and concern.


    Sensing Li Qin¡¯s gaze, Zhuang Xian raised her right hand and clenched it into a fist to cover her face. She pretended to clear her throat, but she did not say anything. She nodded to indicate that she understood.


    At this moment, she slowly sighed in her heart. She seemed to have seen something MO Qian usually did not show before her. It was an extremely gentle dominance. MO Qian had grasped his gentleness very well before. This kind of dominance that could not be rejected was hidden behind it. Zhuang Xian could not see it.


    Perhaps their relationship had taken another step forward; MO Qian had always been straightforward. He seemed to no longer want to pretend in front of Zhuang Xian. Fortunately, he showed his true self in front of Zhuang Xian.


    When MO Qian was about to leave the apartment, he took another deep look at Zhuang Xian before he controlled the wheelchair and moved out of the room first. His assistant and driver followed closely behind him.


    She retracted her gaze from MO Qian¡¯s back and heaved a sigh of relief. Her pale face even showed a relaxed expression, as if she had just survived a disaster.


    ¡°Sister Xian, why are you so cowardly in front of MO Qian? Could this be the legendary saying, ¡®Evil people will torture evil people¡¯? I¡¯ve never seen Sister Xian afraid of anyone before!¡± Li Qin did not intend to let Zhuang Xian off just like that. He smiled lightly and teased her.


    Seeing Zhuang Xian looking up at him, Li Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at her fearlessly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sister Xian? Is there anything wrong with what I said?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at him indifferently. After a long while, she sighed slowly.


    If you don¡¯t know how to talk, you don¡¯t have to say it! I¡¯m exhausted today. I¡¯ve already explained everything to you! So, can you let me rest? If you don¡¯t return to the dormitory, the lights will be off soon!¡±


    As she spoke, the fatigue and haggardness in her eyes were no longer concealed. She looked very helpless.


    ¡°Tsk! I didn¡¯t want to discuss you carrying out a mission for the Underworld Gate. I have another question to ask you!¡± Li Qin saw that Zhuang Xian seemed to have misunderstood him and explained..

    Borrowing the dim streetlights downstairs, Lei Cheng sized up the expression on MO Qian¡¯s face. After a long while, he sighed slightly and replied in a deep voice, ¡°Alright! I understand what you just said! Zhuang Xian will be on ¡®sick leave¡¯ for the next few days. She has to stay in the dormitory and rest well. I will inform Luo Fei!¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at MO Qian beside him. ¡± This is the first time I¡¯ve seen you care so much about a girl. Who is Zhuang Xian? I keep feeling that she¡¯s hiding a lot of other secrets. Since she¡¯s already an assassin of the Underworld Gate, why did the Zhuang family adopt her? Did the Zhuang family know about her? Don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯m just a little curious.¡±


    MO Qian withdrew his indifferent gaze from Lei Cheng and slowly turned the ring on his finger. ¡°Are you curious? What does this have to do with you? Don¡¯t ask about things that have nothing to do with you.¡±


    ¡°Alright, is this the attitude of Young Master MO when he asks for help? Understood!¡± When Lei Cheng saw MO Qian¡¯s indifferent expression, his heart was filled with helplessness. He pretended to raise his tone and said jokingly!


    How could MO Qian not understand Lei Cheng¡¯s teasing? The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. When he looked at Lei Cheng again, he said softly, ¡®You know those are secrets, so why are you still asking about them? Sometimes, it is not good to know too much! Alright, I¡¯ll have to trouble you with today¡¯s matter. I¡¯ll treat you to a drink another day!¡±


    Lei Cheng smiled lightly after hearing this. He sighed towards the night and nodded before replying, ¡°Understood! I won¡¯t ask too much about your relationship in the future. As for drinking? Humph! Forget it for now. With such a mess happening today, if you don¡¯t ¡®work¡¯ properly for a while, you won¡¯t be MO Qian anymore!¡±


    As Lei Cheng spoke, he raised his hand and gently patted MO Qian¡¯s shoulder. When he spoke, his entire aura became gentle. ¡°If there¡¯s anything I can help with, just tell me! I don¡¯t have any other abilities, but I still have some say in the military. The government did not do its job properly this time. It¡¯s only right for you to leave them in the lurch.¡±


    MO Qian did not say a word after hearing this. He only nodded his head gently. After a few breaths, he raised his hand and patted Lei Chengs arm. The indifference on his face disappeared, leaving behind a relaxed look.


    The night outside the car window was as dark as stagnant water, just like MO


    Qian¡¯s expression when he sat in the back seat and thought of Tian Zhen and Fang Dong! MO Qian had already told Lei Cheng about Zhuang Xian¡¯s situation in the Blue E?le base. At midnight, he bid farewell to Lei Chenq and left the


    base.


    The official press conference that started in the afternoon had naturally ended long ago. The media and citizens had their guesses regarding MO Qian¡¯s absence at the press conference. The media chose to report relatively conservatively. After all, at this tense and sensitive time, no one dared to offend the government or the MO Corporation without fear of death.


    The citizens, who had been furious the whole night, were not as easy to deal with as the media. They still did not know the details of the incident that should have been kept from them. The government¡¯s press conference was held but did not have much meaning.


    Mayor Tian Zhen had removed Xiao Ce from his position as the police chief, making him the only major culprit in today¡¯s terrorist attack.


    After receiving such a punishment notice, Xiao Ce had nothing to say. He Imew that Tian Zhen was already doing his best to protect him. The mistake Xiao Ce made today was very low-level and fatal. If it were someone else, they would probably be beaten back to their hometown with the punishment!


    To Xiao Ce, such a punishment was already considered lenient.


    MO Qian¡¯s absence from the press conference this afternoon had already explained his attitude. This matter was not over yet. There was room for negotiation if the officials still wanted to cooperate with him!


    The progress of the Phoenix Cry plan had already reached a stalemate. MO Qian¡¯s MO Corporation was in an active position. The ones who were genuinely passive and had no choice were Tian Zhen and Fang Dong!


    The next few days seemed to have passed in a flash.


    Li Qin felt that their 20-day devil military training had finally ended in the blink of an eye!

 Chapter 568 - Chapter 568: Chapter 568. Freedom And Liberation

    Chapter 568: Chapter 568. Freedom And Liberation


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When they were transported back to Saint Capital University by the military bus, these freshmen, who seemed to have been reborn but had suffered a lot at the same time, felt that the scene they were seeing now was very unreal!


    After bidding farewell to the tall and lush forest vegetation, the dusty training ground, and the old dormitory building that could be seen when they looked up, they finally returned to a place that was in line with the real world. Life in the military without mobile phones and all electronic devices could eventually end!


    They felt that what had happened in the past 20 days was like a long nightmare. Now that they had finally woken up, it was time to return to reality.


    When they finally exited the bus and smelled the fresh air symbolizing freedom and liberation in the academy, these students seemed to have suddenly gone crazy. Several of them directly opened their arms and rushed towards the tall teaching building in front of them without any hesitation!


    Even as they ran, they did not forget to roar like lunatics!


    When these military buses drove into the gate of Saint Capital University, some parents and school leaders who had been waiting at the side subconsciously looked over.


    The principal smiled in satisfaction at the students who were having fun. He felt that the effect was quite good. At least most of these children had survived safely. However, some of the parents standing beside Principal Huang were stunned.


    They couldn¡¯t understand why these young masters and ladies, who were highly pampered and elegant at home, seemed to have released their ¡®nature¡¯ after going to Blue Eagle Base for 20 days of military training. They had all become wild monkeys raised in the mountains.


    However, even if these freshmen were wild monkeys, they were still wild monkeys wearing the same camouflage military uniform.


    Lin En stood beside Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang. Her eyes constantly scanned the group of children, searching for a figure she was very familiar with.


    Lin En searched the crowd for a long time but could not find Zhuang Xian. She could not help but feel a little anxious. She asked worriedly, ¡°Why haven¡¯t I seen Xian¡¯er come out yet? Which military vehicle is she in? Did she not come back with these students? I heard from Xian¡¯er¡¯s form teacher that students who do not pass the military training will be expelled from Saint Capital. I wonder if this is true?¡±


    After Zhuang Hang heard this, he looked down at his mother, who was worried for nothing. He smiled and asked, ¡°Mom, who are you worried about?¡±


    After hearing Zhuang Hang¡¯s question, Lin En looked at him strangely. ¡°Who else can I be worried about? Of course, I¡¯m worried about our Xian¡¯er. I realized that your ears are not working well today, and your brain is also not very good!¡±


    Second Young Master Zhuang did not seem to be angry after being rebuked by Madam Lin En. He even smiled slightly, and the curve of his lips deepened. ¡°Mother, can you not be in a hurry to scold me? Our younger sister is very different from the pampered young ladies and masters. She is not a pampered person who cannot endure hardship. She would be fine! Besides, our Xian¡¯er¡¯s martial arts aren¡¯t bad. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to deal with the school¡¯s military training. Mom, don¡¯t worry about it!


    Previously, Zhuang Jie had an accident during military training. If something happens to my sister, shouldn¡¯t my sister¡¯s form teacher inform you in advance? Didn¡¯t the teachers in the academy tell Aunt¡¯s family to go to the hospital? So, Sister will be fine!¡±


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s tone was very relaxed when he spoke, and the expression on his face was even somewhat proud. However, when he mentioned Zhuang Jing and Zhuang Jie, his calm and proud emotions were significantly reduced.


    The three brothers of the Zhuang family did not have a good attitude towards


    Although Zhuang Bai stood at the side and did not speak, his eyes constantly looked for Zhuang Xian in the vast army of camouflage soldiers, but he did not miss the conversation between Zhuang Hang and Lin En..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When Zhuang Hang had just finished speaking, Zhuang Bai had already raised his hand and patted his shoulder. Zhuang Hang seemed to have sensed it and turned to look at his brother with slight doubt in his eyes.


    Zhuang Bai knew that Zhuang Hang was looking at him, but he did not care. He explained without turning his head, ¡°In the future, if it¡¯s anything related to Auntie¡¯s family, just talk about it at home. Don¡¯t talk about it outside.¡±


    Zhuang Hang was still a little confused after hearing this. He was about to ask why when a gaze from his left suddenly attracted him. He wanted to turn around to see who was staring at them so obscurely, but in the next second, he was stopped by Zhuang Bai.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look sideways. Just act more natural!¡± Zhuang Bai said in a deep voice.


    Seeing that Zhuang Hang had stopped moving, he explained, ¡°I don¡¯t know when the little tail followed us. It¡¯s been staring at us for a while. I¡¯ve already called the police. Don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    Zhuang Hang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. ¡°Big Brother¡¯s anti-reconnaissance ability is still as strong as ever!


    But who was this person¡¯s subordinate? Why are they following us?¡±


    After half a day of hard work, Zhuang Bai finally saw Zhuang Xian in the crowd. At the same time, Lin En, standing in front of them and listening to their conversation, also saw Zhuang Xian in the crowd. Her face subconsciously broke into a smile, and she raised her hand to greet Zhuang Xian. ¡°Xian ¡®er!


    Xian ¡®er! Mommy and brothers are here!¡±


    Perhaps because the crowd was too noisy, Zhuang Xian did not immediately hear Lin En¡¯s call for her. However, she seemed to have sensed it. As soon as Lin En called her, she turned her head to look at Lin En.


    Li Qin stayed close to Zhuang Xian, his expression tense and worried.


    He looked at the students running past him and Zhuang Xian like crazy. They were charging around without caring about anything. Li Qin was so scared that his throat almost fell out. He was afraid that these people would accidentally bump into Zhuang Xian. That wouldn¡¯t be good!


    The injury on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm had slowly recovered over the past few days. Fortunately, Zhuang Xian was still very young, and her physique had always been good, so her injury recovered faster than the average person.


    At least, if she didn¡¯t carry any heavy objects, no one could tell her hands were injured.


    This was also something that Zhuang Xian was glad about. She had recovered a lot. If she were more careful, her family would not discover her, right?


    Zhuang Xian hoped to get lucky and silently planned this in her mind.


    However, she seemed to have forgotten that the last time she had made desserts similar to those from Lanwei Restaurant for her family, her mother, Lin En, and her father, Zhuang Ming, had seen through her.


    Zhuang Xian had lost many identities before Lin En and the others. However, the fact that she was an assassin of the Underworld Gate was indeed very special. For a moment, Zhuang Xian was a little cautious.


    She did not dare to tell them about this matter directly. She was afraid that they would not be able to accept the uniqueness and secrecy of this job, so Zhuang Xian subconsciously chose to hide it from them. They needed some time to accept it. It was better to let them know about this as late as possible.


    Zhuang Xian turned to Lin En, who was greeting her. She felt a little guilty for no reason but quickly hid it.


    Zhuang Xian took the initiative to walk toward Lin En and her two brothers. Although Li Qin did not understand why Zhuang Xian was walking in this direction, he subconsciously followed her. He did not expect that as soon as they returned to school, his Sister Xian¡¯s mother and brothers would run over to pick her up! Li Qin was stunned when he saw Lin En and Zhuang Bai walking towards him with Zhuang Hang at the back..

 Chapter 570 - Chapter 570: Chapter 570. Tail?

    Chapter 570: Chapter 570. Tail?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    After seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s position in the crowd, Zhuang Bai did not even turn his head. He instructed Zhuang Hang in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this now. Let¡¯s pick up our sister and go home quickly.¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded his head gently to show that he understood. He quickly followed Lin En and Zhuang Bai¡¯s footsteps. In an instant, no one noticed; a very obscure expression flashed across his deep eyes. He was silently thinking about something!


    At first, Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang thought that it was the aftermath of the attack that day and were always suspicious. However, after living like this for a


    few days, they realized this was not normal! Ever since the terrorist attack at the MO Corporation building a few days ago, there would always be some strange little tails following them whenever their family went out these few days.


    Because of the stalking incident over the past few days, Zhuang Bai had already become accustomed to reporting to the police in one go. It was very smooth and professional.


    However, what made Zhuang Hang feel very strange was something else. These people who had been following them did not seem to have done anything to hurt them. They seemed only to like to watch from afar. They did not come close or leave. It was more or less like they wanted to protect them!


    Zhuang Bai had always been a meticulous person. Before he could confirm the identity and standpoint of these people, he would not allow such ambiguous people who could not differentiate between friend and foe to surround them. Therefore, he chose to call the police directly. As for these people and Lin En, he had to be more subtle and discreet.


    As she walked closer to Zhuang Xian, Lin En finally saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s slightly pale face. She panicked, and when she asked Zhuang Xian about her condition, she subconsciously spoke faster. She asked, ¡°Xian ¡®er! What¡¯s wrong with you? Are you injured somewhere? Why do you look so pale and haggard? You weren¡¯t like this when you left home!


    Were you injured during the military training?¡±


    Her mother¡¯s care and love almost completely covered Zhuang Xian¡¯s guilt. She looked at Lin En¡¯s caring expression and pretended to smile. ¡°I¡¯m not injured, Mom. Don¡¯t worry! It¡¯s just that the intensity of the military training has been a little too high recently, so it¡¯s inevitable that I¡¯ll be a little tired. You haven¡¯t seen the other students in our class. They¡¯re in a much worse state than me!¡±


    When Lin En heard this, he looked at her suspiciously and continued to ask, ¡°Is that so? You can¡¯t be hiding your injury from us and thinking of taking it on alone. I realized that you¡¯re good at everything. The only thing that gives me a headache is that you don¡¯t take your body seriously. You only consider treating others well and don¡¯t care about yourself every time! ¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt as if Lin En had seen through her. The guilt in her heart began to spread again. She could only pretend to smile obediently and dared not say anything else. Her pleading eyes were quietly directed at the two brothers standing behind Lin En.


    Zhuang Hang only felt that his sister¡¯s pleading gaze was charming. He smiled lightly and said to help Zhuang Xian out, ¡°Alright, Mom! In front of our sister¡¯s classmates, you should save Xian¡¯er some face! We¡¯ll talk about this when we get home, okay?¡±


    When Zhuang Hang said these words, he looked at Li Qin beside Zhuang Xian. He had never seen Li Qin before, so he was more curious about who this boy was!


    Lin En did not want to criticize Zhuang Xian in front of so many people. She loved Zhuang Xian too much, so how could she bear to say anything bad about Zhuang Xian? She was subconsciously blaming and acting coquettishly. It was a sign that she liked Zhuang Xian.


    Retracting the suspicion and worry in her eyes, Lin En turned to look at Li Qin beside Zhuang Xian. She smiled and asked gently, ¡°Are you Xian¡¯er¡¯s classmate? What¡¯s your name?¡±


    When Li Qin heard that Sister Xian¡¯s mother was asking him a question, he felt nervous and guilty for no reason. He quickly bowed and replied, ¡°Hello, Auntie! I¡¯m Sister Xian¡¯s good friend from the orphanage..


    I¡¯m Sister Xian¡­Yes! Zhuang Xian¡¯s classmate!¡±

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    As if he had noticed that his subconscious act of calling Zhuang Xian Sister Xian was a little inappropriate, especially in front of the Zhuang family; it seemed a little strange and abrupt. Li Qin paused for a moment and quickly changed it.


    He looked at Lin En, who had a gentle expression, and her two older brothers. His face slowly raised into an obedient smile!


    Zhuang Xian was even younger than Li Qin. Li Qin had already explained the problem of Zhuang Xian being called Sister Xian. Li Qin did this to express his respect and admiration for Zhuang Xian.


    Because Zhuang Bai had met Li Qin once before, he was the only person in this group who knew Li Qin other than Zhuang Xian. He did not realize that Li Qin had addressed Zhuang Xian as such before. However, when he heard Li Qin suddenly cover it up, he slowly reacted!


    Zhuang Bai smiled slightly and looked at Li Qin with a gentle gaze. After thinking for a while, he did not say anything. He signaled for his assistant to drive the car over. He wanted to take Zhuang Xian and leave this place now. He had a bad feeling about this.


    However, after the freshmen returned to school after military training, they had to wait for the form teacher to check the personnel and confirm that there were no mistakes before letting the student go home to rest. Therefore, when Zhuang Bai left Saint Capital University with Zhuang Xian, it was already an hour later!


    ¡°Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you don¡¯t have to wait until now. I¡¯ll follow Mom back! You still have so many things to do every day. It would be best if you didn¡¯t waste time waiting for me. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled faintly and looked up. She looked directly at Zhuang Hang, sitting beside Lin En and her, and Zhuang Bai, sitting in the front passenger seat. She explained gently.


    Zhuang Hang was sitting on the right side of the car, separated from Zhuang Xian by Lin En. He smiled and replied, ¡°What waste? Why would we fear wasting time on something as important as bringing you home? What is your little brain thinking? You must change your habit of always being afraid of troubling us!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at her second brother¡¯s attitude and sighed helplessly. She smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.


    Lin En gently held Zhuang Xian¡¯s right hand and smiled as she watched Zhuang Xian being nagged. She was pleased to see her precious daughter being so obedient and cute. The smile on her face never faded. ¡°You¡¯ve been away for 20 days since the military training. I¡¯m so bored at home alone! Your father and second brother only know how to work all day. They can only talk to me when they come home at night! Fortunately, your big brother came back not long ago. With him accompanying me to talk, I won¡¯t be so bored!


    The end of your military training coincided with the National holiday. You should be able to rest at home for a few more days, right?¡± Seeing her precious daughter nod at her with a smile, Lin En could not suppress the smile in her eyes. She continued, ¡°That¡¯s great! Xian¡¯er, do you have anywhere you want to go out to play? Mom will take you there. We can go on a trip. Hahaha!¡±


    Lin En hadn¡¯t seen Zhuang Xian for half a month, so she was a little too excited to welcome Zhuang Xian back today. She wanted to do something.


    Sitting in the front passenger seat, Zhuang Bai chuckled when he heard that. He said gently, ¡°A few days ago, when we were having dinner, didn¡¯t Dad say he would take her to Song Shi Company for an interview after the military training?¡± He put down the phone in his hand and shattered Lin En¡¯s unrealistic fantasy.


    ¡°I heard that the progress over there is swift. They have been looking for celebrities or female Go players everywhere but haven¡¯t found any suitable ones! I think you can rest for the morning at most tomorrow. Dad will have to take you to the audition in the afternoon!¡±


    As Zhuang Bai spoke, he pretended to sigh and continued, ¡°Looks like our family is going to have two big stars in the future!¡±


    Sitting beside Lin En, Zhuang Xian had been listening attentively to the family members in the car. She looked pleased and relaxed. She noticed Lin En was a little depressed and raised her hand to pinch her mother¡¯s palm..

 Chapter 572 - Chapter 572: Chapter 572. Fell Asleep

    Chapter 572: Chapter 572. Fell Asleep


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s face lit up with a very bright and obedient smile. She coaxed Lin En, ¡°Mom, where do you want to go? I¡¯ll go with you! Anyway, this holiday is so long, so I have time! That Song Shi company¡¯s spokesperson for Go, they might not even choose me.¡±


    She smiled and comforted Lin En, ¡°Even if I get selected, an advertisement endorsement shouldn¡¯t take more than a week, right? I¡¯m sure I still have time to go out and play with you!¡±


    After listening to Zhuang Xian¡¯s words of comfort, Lin En¡¯s mood improved significantly. She was not unhappy. With Madam Lin En¡¯s style and vision, she was not so childish and willful.


    Lin En raised her hand and gently pinched Zhuang Xian¡¯s cheek. Feeling the smooth touch on her hand, she pretended to be very satisfied and said, ¡°Our baby Xian¡¯er is still the best. She still knows how to feel sorry for her mother and how bored she is at home. She wants to accompany her mother to go out and play! I don¡¯t want some young masters to only think about work every day!¡±


    As Lin En mocked Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai, her eyes turned slightly away.


    Zhuang Bai pretended to look out of the window as if he did not hear Lin En¡¯s words. Zhuang Hang could not avoid it. He cleared his throat and replied guiltily, ¡°Of course, you can go out. As long as you set the time and place, I¡¯ll arrange the rest, okay?¡±


    After Lin En heard this, she looked at Zhuang Xing reproachfully and said,


    ¡°Forget it! You¡¯re so busy every day. What can I expect from you?¡±


    Second Young Master Zhuang felt helpless. He thought his mother was much more challenging to please than his sister, so he shut his mouth and said nothing else!


    Lin En saw Zhuang Hang¡¯s cowardly look and felt bored. A gentle and loving smile immediately appeared when she turned to look at Zhuang Xian beside her. She seemed to have changed into a different person. She told Zhuang Xian, ¡°What Mom said just now was just a joke! I¡¯m not such a willful and unreasonable person, okay?


    I think you have no problem at all. Of course, I know the most important thing right now is to fight for this endorsement for you! If they don¡¯t choose you, then they¡¯re blind!¡±


    Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing at her mother¡¯s confident and proud expression. She was like a blooming flower, so beautiful that it was shocking. However, her other two brothers in the car were focused on her mother, so they naturally didn¡¯t notice her smile!


    Lin En was the only one who saw this beautiful scene. She was slightly stunned. Although her Xian ¡®er would smile in the past, it was rare to see such a pure and flawless smile from the heart. She felt that after Zhuang Xian went out and returned, she seemed to have become much more attractive.


    The luxurious Rolls-Royce, covered in black, was moving quickly on the road toward the Zhuang family¡¯s villa. The Zhuang family and the others were chatting and laughing in the car. The atmosphere was very gentle and harmonious. The air conditioner was turned on at a suitable temperature. Zhuang Xian leaned back in the comfortable car seat and fell asleep.


    Because she knew very well that this hellish freshmen military training that she had begged Old Master Li Zhen for was the best opportunity for her to take down An Ye, Zhuang Fei, and even Ye Xin!


    At the beginning of the military training, she had been thinking almost every night about how she could leave no traces and make them feel the greatest pain to avenge all the suffering and pain she had suffered in her previous life! Therefore, Zhuang Xian had never let her guard down these past half a month.


    In many moments that no one knew about, Zhuang Xian was not as calm and carefree as she appeared on the surface. This mental tension and fatigue were much more severe than her body! The blood hatred brought her torture and pleasure, so she had to stay awake and ruthless..

 Chapter 573 - Chapter 573: Chapter 573. Be Obedient!

    Chapter 573: Chapter 573. Be Obedient!


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian had been silently enduring this tiredness with no one to share her feelings with. She had been suppressing the hatred in her bones and blood, but she could not express it!


    This hatred was like a wound in Zhuang Xian¡¯s heart that had turned into pus. Before she could decide to cut open the wound, drain the pus and blood inside, and clean the wound again, this hatred was like a parasite that would forever suck Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind and energy. Others could not see it, but it would always take root. Only Zhuang Xian would feel the pain and torture.


    Even when Zhuang Xian was relaxed and happy, it would turn into a nightmare that would make Zhuang Xian afraid. It would repeatedly shatter Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm surface, just like what would happen next.


    Zhuang Xian leaned back on the car seat. She looked tired and fragile. Her mother and two brothers would chat from time to time in the car. The atmosphere was very reassuring for Zhuang Xian.


    However, just as Zhuang Xian was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt like her brain and heart were being torn apart by a ghost hand. The panic and fear of being dominated made Zhuang Xian open her eyes abruptly. Her entire body was as tense as a steel plate!


    Lin En was the first to notice something wrong with Zhuang Xian. She turned her head to look at her precious daughter beside her. Her face was filled with doubt and worry. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you have a nightmare when you fell asleep?¡±


    As she spoke, she quickly held Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand. Feeling that her precious daughter¡¯s hand was stiff and cold, Lin En frowned and looked at Zhuang Xian with concern.


    Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai also noticed the situation. They turned their heads and looked at Zhuang Xian worriedly.


    Zhuang Xian came back to her senses at Lin En¡¯s question. Lin En held her right hand, so she could not pull it out. She could only slowly raise her injured left hand and gently pinch her dry and red eyes. She wanted to cover up her abnormal expression. She took a few deep breaths and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m fine! I¡¯m just too tired and a little sleepy!¡±


    Zhuang Xian slowly put down her hand as she spoke. She looked out of the car window and saw that the car had already entered the front yard of the Zhuang family¡¯s villa. She let out a sigh of relief and pinched Lin En¡¯s finger. She turned around and smiled at the three people looking at her. She continued, ¡°We¡¯re home! Yes, I want to return to my room to rest when I get home. Mom, can you call me when we have dinner later?¡±


    Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s pale face, her eyes filled with worry. She


    subconsciously asked, ¡°Xian ¡®er, are you really alright? Look at your little face. How pale it is? Don¡¯t be in a hurry to rest after returning to your room. I¡¯ll get the doctor at home to take a look at you! You keep saying you¡¯re fine, but I don¡¯t think so!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the next second, she was mercilessly interrupted by Madam Lin En. Lin En looked at Zhuang Xian with some disapproval and continued, ¡°It¡¯s settled then. Be obedient!¡±


    Zhuang Xian, who realized that her objection was futile, smiled helplessly. She knew she could not reject Lin En, so she sighed softly!


    Zhuang Bai held the phone and called the doctor at home. When the car stopped steadily at the front hall entrance, he told them about this matter.


    Sitting at the side and watching Zhuang Xian and Lin En¡¯s conversation, the Zhuang brothers exchanged a tacit glance.


    When Zhuang Bai pushed the door open and got out of the car, Zhuang Hang had already walked to the left side of the car and opened the door beside Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her second brother, who was speaking with a severe expression. Her expression froze for a moment. After two seconds, she smiled and replied, ¡°No need, Second Brother! I¡¯m not injured, and I can walk on my own! I¡¯m wonderful. You don¡¯t have to carry me!¡±


    ¡°No! You don¡¯t have a second choice!¡± Zhuang Hang said with a firm expression. Seeing his sister¡¯s face seemed embarrassed, Zhuang Hang momentarily said, ¡°When I saw you at school just now, I felt that something was very wrong with you! You¡¯re usually so lively, but today you¡¯re dispirited..


    There must be something wrong!¡±

    Chapter 574: Chater 574. Second Brother Hugs You


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°You keep saying that you¡¯re not injured, but why do I feel like you¡¯re saying there¡¯s no silver here? You¡¯re the kind of person who won¡¯t take the initiative to tell others when you¡¯re injured. You want to take it on yourself! Besides, I¡¯m your second brother, not someone else. If you¡¯re not feeling well, I¡¯ll carry you out of the car and go in. What¡¯s there to be shy about? What are you thinking about all day?¡±


    As Zhuang Hang said these words, his handsome face was full of indulgence for Zhuang Xian. He bent down and leaned into the car. His left arm gently hooked around Zhuang Xian¡¯s knee, and his right hand supported the girl¡¯s thin back. When he exerted a little strength, he did not forget to remind her gently, ¡°Hold my neck well. I won¡¯t be responsible if you fall later!¡±


    This feeling of complete weightlessness made Zhuang Xian subconsciously raise her injured left hand. She endured the discomfort of her wound being pulled slightly and slowly wrapped her arms around Zhuang Hang¡¯s neck!


    She was pulled into Zhuang Hang¡¯s embrace. They were too close to each other, so when Zhuang Hang spoke, Zhuang Xian could only look up slightly to see her second brother¡¯s handsome side profile and his prominent jawline!


    Although Zhuang Xian was still shocked and confused by her second brother¡¯s sudden action, it did not stop her from shaking her head slightly and letting out a helpless laugh.


    Several servants stood at the Zhuang family¡¯s front hall entrance. If Zhuang Xian continued to struggle and squirm at this time, it would not look good. Therefore, Zhuang Xian could only accept her fate. This was her second brother¡¯s incomparably thick and warm love!


    Zhuang Xian, who wanted to end this awkward situation quickly, naturally overlooked Lin En and Zhuang Bai, following behind them and exchanging glances.


    Madam Lin En seemed to be very satisfied with Zhuang Hang¡¯s thoughtfulness. She smiled lightly and patted Zhuang Bai¡¯s shoulder, indicating for her eldest son to learn from her younger brother!


    Zhuang Bai was a little helpless. He shook his head with a smile and followed behind.


    So when MO Qian and Zhuang Ming, guarding the hall, heard the sound of their footsteps and turned their heads together, they saw this scene!


    When Second Young Master Zhuang walked into the living room steadily, he carried a thin but not petite girl. He walked in from outside, and even the rhythm of his breathing did not change. It was as if Zhuang Xian was weightless in his arms!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s slender and thin left arm was gently wrapped around Zhuang Hang¡¯s neck. She lowered her head and buried her face in her second brother¡¯s suit as if she was utterly nestled in Zhuang Hang¡¯s arms.


    If one were to watch this scene, it would be very pleasing to the eye. After all, when Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Xian stood together, they were handsome and beautiful. They could even be compared to some idol dramas¡¯ beautiful and romantic male and female leads!


    However, this seemingly beautiful scene did not seem to be the case when it fell into MO Qian¡¯s eyes. MO Qian had seen clearly who the person in Zhuang Hang¡¯s arms was. He was just silent and did not make a sound. That pair of beautiful eyes, when no one noticed, flashed with many obscure and unexpected expressions!


    MO Qian even started to feel a little jealous of Zhuang Hang. Not only was he jealous that Zhuang Hang could hug Zhuang Xian like this, but he was also jealous that Zhuang Hang was a normal and healthy man, unlike him, who seemed to be forever confined to this damn wheelchair!


    MO Qian¡¯s thoughts were still relatively obscure and shallow. Because when Zhuang Ming opened his mouth to speak, he immediately returned to his senses and did not immerse himself too much in that kind of strange jealousy and unexpected emotions.


    ¡°Ya! What is going on? Why did you carry her in? Is Xian¡¯er injured or sick?¡± Zhuang Ming stood up almost immediately and subconsciously walked towards Zhuang Hang, who was carrying Zhuang Xian!


    Zhuang Hang did not stop walking. He carried Zhuang Xian and was about to go straight to the second floor. He wanted to send his sister back to her room, but when he passed by Zhuang Ming, Zhuang Xian stopped him. Zhuang Xian said in a low voice, ¡°Second brother, put me down! I¡¯m fine. I can walk on my own! Besides, I want to drink water before returning to my room to rest!¡±


    Zhuang Hang slowed down after hearing that.. He thought for two seconds before saying, ¡°Are you embarrassed to let me carry you because you see that there are guests at home?¡±

    Chapter 575: Chapter 575. MO Qjan¡¯s Jealousy


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°If you want some water, ask Auntie Jiang to bring it later!¡± Zhuang Hang suggested, but Zhuang Xian did not allow him to reject it!


    Zhuang Xian let go of Zhuang Hang¡¯s hand and turned her body to get off the ground. However, the hand that was holding Zhuang Xian never moved away. Zhuang Hang could not persuade her and was afraid she would fall, so he could only compromise and steadily put her back on the floor.


    After Zhuang Xian steadied herself, she took a few deep breaths as if she had just calmed down. She glanced sideways at Zhuang Hang, who supported her, but did not answer her second brother¡¯s question.


    She turned her head with a smile. Her bright eyes looked at Zhuang Ming, who had been looking at her worriedly, and MO Qian, who was behind Zhuang Ming!


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, Dad! It was just that the military training during this period was too tiring. Today, I suddenly relaxed and looked tired. When we were in the car just now, I was already a little sleepy, so second Brother insisted on carrying me in!


    I¡¯m fine!¡±


    Zhuang Xian explained in a gentle voice. She still did not admit that she was injured. She only smiled brightly and cutely. Her eyes were bright as she looked at Zhuang Ming and MO Qian as if she wanted to use this to get away with it!


    Zhuang Xian did not know what was going on either. She sensed a terrible atmosphere when they walked into the living room. As expected, when she looked at the sofa area in the living room from the corner of her eye, she immediately noticed MO Qian beside her father.


    Perhaps the others did not notice MO Qian¡¯s gaze, but Zhuang Xian felt like a knife was on her back. Almost subconsciously, she immediately wanted to jump out of her second brother¡¯s arms because the expression on MO Qian¡¯s face made her feel a little guilty!


    Zhuang Xian felt her current mentality was like a daughter-in-law who had done something wrong. She did not want MO Qian to misunderstand and be angry, nor did she dare to let others learn about the tricks between her and MO Qian.


    Zhuang Ming was a little puzzled after hearing this. He subconsciously asked,


    ¡°Is that so? From your little face, you don¡¯t look fine!¡±


    Lin En saw that everyone in the living room, including MO Qian, an honored guest, had gathered close to each other. She smiled and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this for now! In any case, Xian¡¯er is already home. When the doctor comes over later, we will let him take a good look at Xian¡¯er! Everyone, don¡¯t just stand there. Go sit over there!¡±


    She tilted her head and smiled at MO Qian beside Zhuang Ming as she spoke. She continued, ¡°MO Qian, let¡¯s sit over there! I¡¯ll get them to make a pot of good tea. You keep your Uncle Zhuang company and chat. Don¡¯t be in a hurry to leave later. Let¡¯s have dinner together tonight!¡±


    MO Qian nodded and chuckled after hearing this. He replied warmly, ¡°That¡¯s great. Thank you, Auntie! It just so happens that Uncle Zhuang and I have something to discuss so that I won¡¯t stand on ceremony!¡±


    Seeing that his wife had settled MO Qian down, Zhuang Ming retracted his gaze and looked at Zhuang Xian, who was standing before him. He thought momentarily before saying, ¡°Since your mother has said so, come and sit down. After the doctor looks at you, you can rest!¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and followed Zhuang Ming back to the sofa.


    Zhuang Hang, who had wanted to return his sister to her room, smiled helplessly when he saw his sister was so ungrateful. He raised his hand to call for the servant standing at the side. After giving a few instructions softly, he waved his hand to let the servant leave. He followed behind Zhuang Xian and sat down beside his sister!


    Zhuang Bai frowned when he saw his sister, who could not move at the sight of MO Qian. He sighed and looked at the time on his watch before slowly sitting beside Zhuang Xian.


    He and Zhuang Hang happened to be on the left and right, surrounding Zhuang Xian in their protection range as if they were guarding against someone!


    The person the two young masters of the Zhuang family, were guarding seemed to be MO Qian, sitting in the wheelchair opposite them!


    MO Qian seemed to have sensed something and slowly stopped talking to Lin En. He looked at the two people from the side. He couldn¡¯t see anything from their expressions, but his eyes were as deep as the sea of stars, making people feel he was unfathomable.


    ¡°Speaking of which, how did you handle the attack that day? If there¡¯s anything you need our Zhuang family¡¯s help with, just tell me.. I¡¯ll help if I can!¡±

 Chapter 576 - Chapter 576: Chapter 576. Conspiracy

    Chapter 576: Chapter 576. Conspiracy


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    As Lin En spoke, her face showed she wanted to share the same hatred as MO Qian. Seeing that MO Qian seemed to be a little distracted, she tilted her head to look at MO Qian and continued, ¡°Tian Zhen has indeed gone too far this time! It¡¯s no secret that the Doug consortium came to City H to invest in the arms trade. The officials kept it a secret because they were worried that the local companies in City H would be afraid of the underworld forces behind the Doug consortium and not dare to cooperate with Doug. They were afraid of scaring off local partners like us!¡±


    When MO Qian heard Lin En¡¯s opinion, he immediately retracted his idea of splitting up. He looked at Lin En in surprise, his eyes revealing some admiration. He did not expect Lin En to be able to see through this matter so thoroughly. She was not much worse than Zhuang Ming.


    ¡°I think he¡¯s been sitting in the mayor¡¯s position too long and overthinking. He saw the Doug consortium as a god, but he looked down on us! That¡¯s why he¡¯s so forward-looking and tolerant, resulting in low-level stupidity! He¡¯s short-sighted and stupid!¡±


    Lin En seemed not to be afraid of offending City H¡¯s high-ranking officials. She did not hold back when she scolded people with her sharp mouth!


    MO Qian couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw this. He naturally understood that Lin En was doing this for his good. Lin En indirectly reminded him that he had better not get involved in these matters before he had a clear explanation with the officials!


    Zhuang Bai sat opposite MO Qian, but his eyes were fixed on his sister drinking milk. He did not miss a single word of Lin En and MO Qian¡¯s conversation.


    When he saw Zhuang Xian finish her drink, he sighed in relief, and Lin En¡¯s sentence continued. ¡°What kind of idiot is there to be able to rise and fall in the economic circle these past few years? No one is a fool. Everyone understands that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. Therefore, we are very clear about the risks of this project. We should not let Tian Zhen and Fang Dong make random arrangements!


    The Doug Financial Group is not simple. Before getting involved, you have to sort out these plans behind you. If they continue to act as they did a few days ago and think that they are doing something behind your back, then they are harming you and the MO Corporation! Don¡¯t let the officials drag you and the MO Corporation down!¡±


    ¡°Of course! The reason why our Zhuang family is helping you like this is not because we don¡¯t have any requests. We hope you can consider giving us some meat soup when you eat meat! Ming En Corporation doesn¡¯t have a big appetite. You don¡¯t have to worry about us snatching your things. We¡¯re all very self-aware.¡±


    As Zhuang Bai said this, his eyes were fixed on MO Qian. He was honest and direct enough to know the twists and turns of these things. Zhuang Ming must have talked to MO Qian about it before. He also wanted to let Zhuang Xian know some of these things. He repeated it all to make the cooperation more transparent and more honest.


    The cooperation between the Zhuang family and MO Qian was a long and stable one. If his sister liked MO Qian, she could have planned it repeatedly. There was no need to rush it!


    MO Qian naturally understood the details that Lin En and Zhuang Bai mentioned. He had thought more deeply about this project than anyone else. He was even more thoughtful than Zhuang Bai.


    There was no need to talk about the hidden twists and turns. Mr. MO Qian had always been far-sighted, but he had neglected a fundamental matter at the moment. The Zhuang brothers seemed to have already noticed his other


    ¡®scheme.¡¯


    MO Qian thought his gaze toward Zhuang Xian was already very subtle and restrained. Still, it was pronounced and deliberate in front of Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang, who were extremely sensitive to protecting their people.


    [MO Qian has a good impression of my sister!] This was a warning from both of their sister-controlled radars!


    MO Qian did not know about these things. He was only listening to Lin En and Zhuang Bails conversation. Occasionally, his eyes would fall on Zhuang Xian, holding a cup and drinking obediently.


    MO Qian discovered an extraordinary phenomenon.. Zhuang Xian was very different in front of him and in front of the Zhuang family!

 Chapter 577 - Chapter 577: Chapter 577. Ming En Entering The Game

    Chapter 577: Chapter 577. Ming En Entering The Game


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When Zhuang Xian was in the Zhuang family, she was soft and obedient. She only showed her most delicate belly to the people she trusted the most. She was like a small animal that had removed her armor and defenses.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s docile and cute appearance made MO Qian feel pity for her. He could not help but smile dotingly.


    Zhuang Hang took in everything. Occasionally, MO Qian would size up Zhuang Xian¡¯s movements. When he saw MO Qian even staring at his sister in a daze, he frowned slightly and said to MO Qian in a deep voice, ¡°I think Young Master


    MO is a brilliant person. What my brother said just now is the attitude of our Zhuang family! No matter how big the MO Corporation is, it only has one belly. If you can join forces with our Zhuang family now, it will be like adding wings to a tiger and a strong alliance!¡±


    MO Qian seemed to have regained his senses after hearing this. He looked up at Zhuang Hang, who was speaking, and Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Ming, who had been looking at him. He smiled lightly and said bluntly, ¡°Actually, before you came back, Uncle Zhuang and I discussed this issue. Since all of you are so honest and direct, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I¡¯ll be direct¡­


    When Zhuang Xian heard MO Qian¡¯s calm tone, she seemed to have sensed something. She looked up at MO Qian but was caught off guard and met his gaze. When MO Qian¡¯s gaze met Zhuang Xian¡¯s, it became gentle and affectionate.


    Zhuang Xian felt MO Qian¡¯s gaze hook her and was slightly stunned!


    ¡°I can pull Ming En into the cooperation between the MO Corporation and the


    Doug Consortium. You can use the name of the MO Corporation to take over the early maintenance work of this project! I¡¯ve already thought about these things before. Although Ming En¡¯s development in City H is perfect, it¡¯s still a little challenging to complete the early stages of this project, but I¡¯m willing to support you!


    Ming En will be in charge of the early-stage location of this military base and some related maintenance work. The MO Corporation will prepare the funds and resources for the middle and late stages. I know that Uncle Zhuang and Zhuang Hang are very good at this. In this way, we can form a complete project operation chain. This plan will yield twice the result with half the effort!¡±


    After MO Qian finished speaking, he waited for the Zhuang family¡¯s response with a smile in his eyes.


    Zhuang Xian looked at MO Qian in surprise, as if she did not understand why he was so generous. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say he was selfless. Wasn¡¯t MO Qian known as the country¡¯s youngest and best young entrepreneur? Why did he sound more like a philanthropist and a sucker from what he said just now?


    Even Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai, who had been very direct just now, looked at MO Qian in surprise and confusion, not to mention Zhuang Xian. They did not expect MO Qian to take such good care of Ming En Corporation!


    If this matter succeeded, then those who did not know would probably think that the MO Corporation had already acquired Ming En and become a branch company of the MO Corporation. Otherwise, why would the MO Corporation give Ming En Corporation such a concession? Was MO Qian Zhuang Ming¡¯s biological son?


    The answer was naturally no! MO Qian was not Zhuang Ming¡¯s son, and the MO Corporation would not acquire Ming En. Therefore, the Zhuang family still had to find the reason for this!


    Zhuang Bai, Zhuang Hang, and Zhuang Ming sitting on the other side, were stunned. However, only they knew that the three of them were calculating the considerable benefits in their minds. Was MO Qian trying to take them along with him?


    Before the men of the Zhuang family could react, Zhuang Xian had already realized the importance of this matter. She looked into MO Qian¡¯s eyes and thought for a moment. She could not help but ask, ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡®Why are you so good to the Zhuang family?¡¯


    ¡®Why do you like me so much?¡¯


    ¡®What are you thinking?¡¯


    These questions were all derived from Zhuang Xian¡¯s words.. She wanted to know what MO Qian was thinking, but MO Qian only looked at her gently and did not answer a word!

 Chapter 578 - Chapter 578: Chapter 578. Investment!

    Chapter 578: Chapter 578. Investment!


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When she heard her precious daughter¡¯s question, Lin En seemed to have sensed something. Her wise, intelligent eyes sized up Zhuang Xian and MO Qian beside her.


    The atmosphere of their four eyes looking at each other was like a barrier that outsiders could not easily blend in!


    Lin En could feel a fantastic atmosphere. She raised her eyebrows joyfully and thought, surprised that her last hope would come true.


    MO Qian had always been the best candidate to be her son-in-law!


    Lin En had already noticed MO Qian had treated her precious daughter differently long ago.


    MO Qian¡¯s admiration and liking for Zhuang Xian were evident and straightforward. Even if there was a considerable age gap between them, it seemed so light that it did not exist if one did not deliberately pay attention to it.


    Lin En felt that one of the root causes of this phenomenon was that Zhuang


    Xian usually displayed maturity and rationality that exceeded her actual age. Zhuang Xian¡¯s steadiness and consideration often made many people forget that she was only a 17-year-old child!


    Speaking of the second reason, it was more emotional and subjective. Lin En felt MO Qian seemed to have an inexplicable aura compatible with Zhuang Xian. Like in novels, he and Zhuang Xian were a match made in heaven.


    Lin En¡¯s thoughts were wild and unrestrained, as if wholly immersed in her world. Fortunately, Zhuang Ming, who spoke the next moment, pulled her back in time.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Why?¡± Zhuang Ming seemed to have finally come back to his senses. He subconsciously repeated Zhuang Xian¡¯s question. He looked at MO Qian¡¯s calm and steady side profile and carefully arranged his words before continuing, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, won¡¯t the MO Corporation be at a disadvantage? Our relationship is just a business alliance. MO Qian, you don¡¯t have to go to this extent! In a normal business relationship, one is one, and two is two. You shouldn¡¯t give in like this.¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s expression turned severe subconsciously. He was a very successful businessman, so he naturally knew this kind of thing was unreasonable. MO Qian¡¯s handling of this matter seemed to have placed the Zhuang family on his big ship. It was like he had twisted the two families into a rope.


    If they were to be serious about it, why did it seem like the two families had a marriage alliance?


    It had to be said that Mr. Zhuang Ming had unique business insights, and his intuition in some issues was also very sharp and meticulous. He happened to guess what MO Qian was thinking at the moment.


    MO Qian indeed had such thoughts in his heart. He had mentioned to Zhuang Xian before that he wanted to propose marriage to the Zhuang family. He was not just talking about it. He had thought about this matter. At least, it was not just talk. In some practical actions, MO Qian was very bold!


    However, this was the best opportunity to speak. His words and feelings were already on the tip of his tongue. However, when he was about to express his feelings to Zhuang Xian¡¯s relatives, MO Qian saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s gaze and was once again blocked by Zhuang Xian.


    Perhaps Zhuang Xian did not notice that the message she conveyed to MO Qian was that she was unwilling!


    MO Qian felt a little bitter in his heart but did not show it on the surface. He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes and smiled. He gave Zhuang Xian a reassuring look. Before Zhuang Xian learned to accept his love, he would not do anything to make things difficult for her.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t giving Ming En any benefits.¡± MO Qian answered Zhuang Ming¡¯s question and finally withdrew his gaze from Zhuang Xian. He looked at Zhuang Ming and continued smiling, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the dust now. All of this is just my personal project plan. When the project starts, there are still many things we can¡¯t decide on our own.


    The MO Corporation isn¡¯t omnipotent. Ming En needs me as an ally, and I also need you. This is a mutually beneficial matter! If you want to use a word to describe our relationship, investing is more appropriate than giving up profits..¡±

 Chapter 579 - Chapter 579: Chapter 579. Dinner Time

    Chapter 579: Chapter 579. Dinner Time


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mood was a little complicated now because she received MO Qian¡¯s comforting gaze. MO Qian seemed to understand her thinking, so he did not intend to make things difficult.


    While MO Qian tried his best to help the Zhuang family, he also carefully maintained the balance and stability between them. He would not hesitate to suffer temporarily! He would give Zhuang Xian whatever she wanted.


    If MO Ye were standing at the side now, she would probably roll her eyes helplessly and curse in her heart. MO Qian was an infatuated person. Such an honest person who chased after his wife did not look like the wise and intelligent descendant of the MO family. Wasn¡¯t he a living fool?


    MO Ye was not here today, so this assumption did not exist. Zhuang Xian had no way of knowing MO Ye¡¯s thoughts and feelings. She only knew that she did not want MO Qian to compromise like this, nor did she want to make it known that she liked MO Qian so quickly. Many things between them still needed to be dealt with and resolved. This was not something that could be resolved in a day!


    Zhuang Xian felt that she was caught in a dilemma. She thought that if there were a chance later, she would chat with MO Qian about this matter.


    Previously, Zhuang Xian had promised MO Qian that she would slowly learn how to accept his love and support. However, Zhuang Xian¡¯s learning efficiency seemed to be very bad. They just saw each other today, and Zhuang Xian unconsciously shrank back into her ¡®shell.¡¯


    Although MO Qian¡¯s explanation was still a little forced and stiff, the Zhuang family seemed to have no choice. They had to accept the olive branch that MO Qian had handed over. This was something that many people dreamed of. They would not be ungrateful.


    Therefore, even if they still had some doubts in their hearts, they temporarily suppressed them. They thought that when there was a chance, they would chat well with MO Qian!


    Zhuang Bai thought so, and Zhuang Hang was no exception. He even had another strange intuition. He believed MO Qian was trying to curry favor with the Zhuang family. His true purpose was already self-evident!


    Although MO Qian had never been dishonest or explained anything, he had always held a clear card in his hand! He had never bothered to hide his feelings for Zhuang Xian. He was tactful and roundabout to protect something others did not know about but were especially important to Zhuang Xian.


    The discussion about the big project, Phoenix Cry, seemed to have ended. When the Zhuang family¡¯s doctor came over and examined Zhuang Xian, half an hour passed.


    MO Qian found it funny when he saw Zhuang Xian answering the doctor so smoothly. He thought he shouldn¡¯t worry about such a small matter for Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Xian was so smart. How could she be afraid in front of a small family doctor?


    As long as it was something that Zhuang Xian did not want others to know, there would always be a way to hide it. Zhuang Xian had always been very good at disguising and hiding.


    Because of MO Qian¡¯s presence, the Zhuang family¡¯s dinner was half an hour earlier than usual. It was also more sumptuous and grand than usual!


    Of course, the reason why this dinner was so sumptuous and perfect was not just to welcome MO Qian. Another fundamental reason was to celebrate Zhuang Xian¡¯s return to the family after completing the devilish first-year military training.


    This was what Lin En and the Zhuang family were thinking.


    At the Zhuang family¡¯s dinner table, MO Qian was sitting on the left side of Zhuang Ming, the main seat. The person sitting opposite him was Lin En, and the person beside Lin En was naturally Zhuang Xian.


    From time to time, MO Qian looked up at Zhuang Xian and did not control his action. This was a subconscious reaction, and MO Qian could not control himself.


    Therefore, when Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai looked at him with shining eyes, MO Qian felt a little amused. He suddenly thought of the ¡®investment¡¯ theory he had just mentioned. Now that he thought about it carefully, there did not seem to be anything wrong!


    The three young masters of the Zhuang family were all dragons and phoenixes among people. Not only did they have their abilities and methods, but they also perfectly inherited all the advantages of Zhuang Ming and Lin En..

 Chapter 580 - Chapter 580: Chapter 580. Teach Me!

    Chapter 580: Chapter 580. Teach Me!


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Bai was calm and steady. He was a wise and mature person. Zhuang Hang was low-key and attentive. He was always gentle and thoughtful to his family. As for the third son of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Huai, he had a cynical, lively, and carefree personality. However, he was also a very transparent and intelligent person!


    The personalities of the Zhuang family¡¯s three sons and their handsomeness were also different. They were all children of famous aristocratic families in City H and were popular in the eyes of many wealthy ladies. They were also targets that were utterly worthy of ¡®investment!¡¯


    As MO Qian thought about this, a weak smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that he was comforting himself.


    Apart from Lin En, who was enjoying the dinner, everyone else was absent-minded, especially Zhuang Xian, who had been silent all this while. After dinner, Zhuang Xian was supposed to return to her room to rest.


    However, MO Qian said that he wanted to leave. Zhuang Xian quickly volunteered and said that she could see MO Qian out. The others didn¡¯t need to see him out. She would be back soon.


    As a result, under the thoughtful gazes of the Zhuang family and Lin En, Zhuang Xian raised her hand and grabbed the armrest behind MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair. She pushed MO Qian out of the living room. Zhuang Xian slowly stopped when they were completely out of everyone¡¯s sight.


    Sensing Zhuang Xian¡¯s strange behavior, MO Qian suddenly reacted. He turned around and looked at Zhuang Xian. After a few seconds of silence, he pulled Zhuang Xian¡¯s sleeve!


    When he saw that the gauze on Zhuang Xian¡¯s arm was not bleeding, he heaved a sigh of relief and said in a muffled voice, ¡°I¡¯m not running away. Can¡¯t we talk about it when we meet tomorrow? Can¡¯t we say it over the phone? Why did you have to push me out in such a hurry? Do you not want your hand anymore?¡±


    MO Qian sighed heavily as he spoke. He looked up at Zhuang Xian and asked with a slightly tired expression, ¡°Sometimes, I really can¡¯t do anything to you.


    Can you tell me what I should do? What do I have to do to satisfy you? What do I have to do to stop you from shrinking repeatedly? I¡¯m not forcing you to do anything. I don¡¯t understand! Zhuang Xian, can you teach me what to do?¡±


    ¡®Teach me, how should I love you so you won¡¯t push me away?


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s slightly red eyes, MO Qian subconsciously swallowed the last sentence. He swallowed unnaturally and when he opened his mouth again, it was as if he had lost his composure. He coaxed helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry! Don¡¯t cry, okay?¡±


    After being reminded by MO Qian, Zhuang Xian seemed to realize that her eyes were wet. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, feeling funny and embarrassed. She explained, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I didn¡¯t mean to cry. I couldn¡¯t control myself. I¡¯m sorry!¡±


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t want to admit that she had cried because of MO Qian. It was a little too funny, but the sadness and grievance in her heart were real. It seemed to be a highly complex emotion.


    In her previous life, when she was dating Gao Peng, she had never had such sensitive emotions. It seemed to only exist for MO Qian!


    MO Qian looked at Zhuang Xian, who apologized to him and sighed deeply. The corners of his mouth were slightly bitter as he said gently to the girl beside him, ¡°Do you want to go out with me for some fresh air? I¡¯ll take you to eat ice cream. ¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not seem to understand MO Qian¡¯s words. When she looked sideways at the man in the wheelchair, the confusion in her eyes poured out without concealment!


    MO Qian only used one sentence, ¡®I¡¯ll take you to eat ice cream, to ¡®kidnap¡¯ the Zhuang family¡¯s fourth daughter directly. When Zhuang Hang looked at the pendulum in the living room for the umpteenth time, he finally couldn¡¯t help but stand up. Confused, he asked, ¡°Why did she take so long to send MO Qian off? Did she get lost in the front hall?¡±


    After Lin En heard this, she only glanced at her son, who seemed to have gone silly. After a long while, she replied, ¡°We just finished dinner. Why don¡¯t we go out for some fresh air or something? Don¡¯t worry; Xian¡¯er is not someone who doesn¡¯t know what to do. She knows what to do and what not to do.. She will come back in a while!¡±

 Chapter 581 - Chapter 581: Chapter 581. Stupid!

    Chapter 581: Chapter 581. Stupid!


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Bai listened to his mother¡¯s twisted logic and slowly raised his head from the computer. He looked at Lin En and said gloomily, ¡°Even if Sister is a very sensible person, don¡¯t you think this is a little strange? It is normal for girls to fall in love when they are 17 or 18 years old in a very open-minded place like overseas. However, this is China! How old is MO Qian? Xian¡¯ er is only 17 years old this year. He should be 27 years old, right?


    He¡¯s almost ten years older than my sister! No matter how open-minded and big-hearted you are, you should show some concern now, right?¡± Young


    Master Zhuang raised his eyebrows slightly and said helplessly to Lin En.


    Lin En did not seem to be moved. She glanced sideways at Zhuang Bai and slowly sat up straight. She said to her eldest son, ¡°Stupid! Am I the elder, or are you brothers the elder? Why are all of you so old-fashioned and pedantic? Xian¡¯er is not an ordinary girl. Her mental age is probably even more mature than Second Brother. Do you think she doesn¡¯t understand these principles? She doesn¡¯t want to tell you guys, her brothers. I guess Xian¡¯er likes MO Qian a little!


    As for MO Qian, there¡¯s no need to mention him. He¡¯s a good man on the entire Z country¡¯s list, a true gentleman! Xian¡¯er knows her limits, and he is rational. They all understand this kind of thing where one¡¯s emotions are limited by etiquette. There¡¯s no need for us to worry. They definitely won¡¯t do anything rash!¡±


    As Lin En spoke, she even grunted unusually, as if she felt that what she said was very reasonable. She did not forget to look sideways at Zhuang Ming, who had been silent all this while, hoping to find common opinions with her husband.


    Zhuang Ming naturally followed Lin En¡¯s lead and nodded to show his agreement.


    Lin En¡¯s idea was not shocking. She just thought back to when she was 16 or 17 years old. That feeling of youth and ignorance about love was extremely precious and beautiful!


    She felt that as a mother, she should not be like the parents in the past who only wanted to stop their children from falling in love. They were worried that their children¡¯s studies and prospects would be affected because of their relationship. This was not right. If a person¡¯s emotions could be controlled by outsiders other than themselves, they could not be considered genuine emotions.


    If they want their child to grow healthily and happily, the parents should not suppress and oppress her emotional development. They should not deliberately distort some objective facts. At this time, they needed to guide their child to establish a normal and healthy emotional concept and essential physiological knowledge. That was enough.


    Zhuang Xian had both of these things, which was why Lin En believed that


    Zhuang Xian knew what to do. In Zhuang Bails words, she was broad-minded!


    Zhuang Xian was not a child in the truest sense of the word. Her psychological maturity was indeed much more stable than Zhuang Hang¡¯s. However, things in this world were not as absolute as Lin En said!


    Zhuang Xian was verv mature and experienced, but she was still as immature


    as a three-year-old child when it came to love and the people she liked. Otherwise, Mr. MO Qian, who had always been intelligent and wise, would not have been bitter and depressed in front of her capricious attitude. He would not have surrendered helplessly again and again.


    MO Qian looked at Zhuang Xian sitting in his car and eating ice cream with her head lowered. He sighed helplessly and shook his head in amusement. Then, he asked gently, ¡°How is it? Is it delicious? Are you still angry?¡¯


    Zhuang Xian only nodded slightly after hearing this. She thought of MO Qian¡¯s second question and shook her head again. However, she did not speak. No one Imew what she was thinking.


    MO Qian looked at her in amusement. After a while, he asked, ¡°Have I coaxed you? You¡¯re not angry anymore. I was worried that the wound on your hand would open again, so I spoke anxiously.¡±


    Hearing MO Qian¡¯s apology and coaxing words, Zhuang Xian¡¯s hands paused momentarily. Looking up at MO Qian, she unconsciously fell into his gentleness and indulgence..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian only felt a little awkward and embarrassed. She was not angry at MO Qian. She had no right to be angry. It seemed that she had taken all the good things. MO Qian had only said it a little too urgently. Now, he had to apologize and coax her. She felt a little helpless, and her heart was burning. She secretly cursed MO Qian for being a big fool!


    MO Qian did not do anything wrong. However, after these emotions flashed past, she began to feel that it was ridiculous for her to lose control of her feelings just now. She should not have treated MO Qian like this.


    Zhuang Xian looked into MO Qian¡¯s eyes and nodded gently. She replied in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious. I¡¯m not angry!¡±


    As she spoke, she sighed deeply and looked at MO Qian with tears. After a long silence, she asked, ¡°Do you also think I¡¯m very fickle and unpredictable? I also know that I have such a problem. But I can¡¯t control myself. I¡¯m afraid of something I can¡¯t be sure of!¡±


    ¡°Like what?¡±


    As soon as Zhuang Xian finished speaking, MO Qian asked. He seemed to have waited for Zhuang Xian to pour out her heart to him for a long time. He was extremely patient and gentle. He kept smiling at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian was slightly stunned by MO Qian¡¯s rhetorical question. She subconsciously answered, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±


    MO Qian raised his hand and handed Zhuang Xian a tissue, motioning for her to wipe the ice cream on the corner of her mouth. He explained to Zhuang Xian gently, ¡°You said that you couldn¡¯t be sure of something. What is it?¡±


    Perhaps it was because MO Qian¡¯s tone was too gentle and affectionate; Zhuang Xian almost wanted to tell him all her secrets momentarily.


    However, when a gentle breeze blew, Zhuang Xian regained her rationality. She looked into MO Qian¡¯s eyes and muttered, ¡°MO Qian, can you not be so good to me? I think ¡­ I feel that I¡¯m not worthy of you! Am I worth your love?¡±


    MO Qian frowned slightly after hearing this. He looked at Zhuang Xian calmly and thought briefly before saying honestly, ¡°When you like someone, you can¡¯t help but want to treat her well. This kind of emotion isn¡¯t something we can control.¡±


    As MO Qian spoke, he suddenly smiled at Zhuang Xian. When he spoke again, his tone showed a hint of helplessness. He sighed softly and asked, ¡°Why do you have such thoughts? You¡¯re so outstanding. You have 18 martial arts skills and are proficient in them all. You¡¯re also so beautiful. In my eyes, you¡¯re perfect in everything. Even some of your little tempers I can¡¯t do anything about are very cute! What part of you doesn¡¯t suit me?


    Compared to the things you¡¯ve done for me, the little favor I gave you is not that important. Do you understand? There is no way to weigh the two. Only we can understand how important it is in our hearts.


    If you have to be so transparent with me, how should I repay you for saving me so many times and treating my leg injury for free? Do I have to die a few more times to repay you? Some things couldn¡¯t be calculated clearly and don¡¯t need to be calculated so clearly!¡±


    MO Qian gently said many things and explained them to Zhuang Xian individually.


    ¡°Also, you are worth it!¡± MO Qian said gently,


    Seeing Zhuang Xian looking at him in confusion, MO Qian smiled and explained, ¡°This is my answer to your last question!¡±


    ¡®Am I worth your love?¡¯


    ¡°You are worth it!¡±


    Zhuang Xian couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. She shook her head and retracted her gaze. Her heart rate was a little chaotic, and she dared not look directly at MO


    Qian. However, she had to admit that she seemed to have been seduced by this ¡®old man¡¯ again. Moreover, it was a strong and unbearable straight-ball seduction. It was almost like a confession!


    Seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s hidden smile, it seemed like she was no longer unhappy.


    MO Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head.. He asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What are you laughing at?¡±

    Chapter 583: Chapter 583. Introduce A Friend


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian put down the ice cream box in her hand and looked up at MO Qian again. She said, ¡°Uncle MO, you¡¯re too good at flirting! Can I sue you for ¡®harassing¡¯ a minor?¡±


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s playful and lazy expression, MO Qian smiled and asked, ¡°What did you call me?¡±


    Naturally, she would not repeat herself. Zhuang Xian lowered her eyes and smiled, not opening her mouth to speak.


    At this time, MO Qian noticed something unusual. Zhuang Xian¡¯s emotions not only came and went quickly, but they also disappeared very quickly!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s mentality was strange, and MO Qian was even more certain of this.


    His face did not reveal any trace of his suspicion as he looked at Zhuang Xian. He teased her, ¡°How did I ¡®harass¡¯ a minor? I¡¯m just expressing my sincere and honest feelings. I¡¯m I considered a ¡®hooligan¡¯? Aren¡¯t you being a little too strict?¡±


    As he said such playful words, MO Qian had a faint idea in his heart. He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile and said with a smile, ¡°Can you accompany me to meet a friend another day? You two will get along well, and she can help you!¡±


    ¡°Hmm? Help me with what?¡± Zhuang Xian asked subconsciously but didn¡¯t object to MO Qian¡¯s suggestion.


    MO Qian raised his hand and gently knocked on the car¡¯s partition window, indicating that his assistant and driver could send Zhuang Xian back. He smiled and said to Zhuang Xian, ¡°She¡¯s already in her fourth year this year and will graduate soon. She¡¯s also a student at Saint Capital University, like you, but she¡¯s not from your performance department. She¡¯s studying psychology and is a very cheerful and lively girl!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at MO Qian in confusion. After a while, she asked, ¡°It¡¯s a girl?¡±


    MO Qian nodded and looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression intently. It was as if he wanted to see something he usually didn¡¯t know from her delicate and beautiful face.


    However, after observing for a while, he heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s next question and was stunned. ¡°Why do you know so many young girls? You are even friends with her! When did you guys meet? Have I seen this girl before?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was purely curious, but it had an unusual meaning when these words fell into the ears of MO Qian, who was good at making connections.


    MO Qian was only thinking about when this person would be happy. He looked at Zhuang Xian and explained earnestly, ¡°I don¡¯t know many young girls. I only Imow you! He laughed and shook his head.


    Her name is Si Miao, and she¡¯s Si Yan¡¯s biological sister. Recently, she¡¯s been working as an intern counselor assistant in a famous psychological consultation room in the city. She¡¯s a very lively and cheerful person. I see that other than Li Qin, you don¡¯t have any friends of the same age, let alone female friends with whom you can chat and shop. Are you usually very bored?


    When the time comes, I¡¯ll introduce the two of you to each other. Consider it as making another friend.¡±


    Listening to MO Qian¡¯s lengthy introduction of Si Miao, Zhuang Xian felt slightly uncomfortable. She looked into MO Qian¡¯s eyes as if she wanted to see some helpful information. It was as if MO Qian just wanted her to make one more female friend. However, Zhuang Xian did not see anything else besides his indulgent gentleness and questioning.


    As for the subject and field in which the girl was involved, Zhuang Xian did not care too much because she had never thought about it in this way. She did not think that there was anything wrong with her psychology. Even if she occasionally lost control, she was too stressed and could not take it anymore!


    All medical skills could be understood, but it was difficult for a doctor to cure himself. Even if Zhuang Xian found out about her problem, she could not accept that she had a psychological problem and got the guidance of a real professional psychiatrist.


    MO Qian was the first to realize the seriousness of this problem. He wanted


    Zhuang Xian to be healthy and happy in this world. He didn¡¯t want Zhuang Xian to be burdened with inexplicable pressure and some invisible restrictions.


    She was weary and exhausted every day..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian did not know that so many thoughts had flashed through MO Qian¡¯s mind. After thinking carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong with MO Qian¡¯s suggestion, so she nodded in agreement.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian did not object, MO Qian heaved a sigh of relief. He retracted his gaze from Zhuang Xian and turned his eyes out of the car window. He said gently, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll inform you after I make an appointment with Si Miao and Si Yan. We¡¯ll get together. It just so happens that we haven¡¯t seen Si Yan in a long time. Speaking of Si Yan, has the incident where he made you angry the last time passed?¡±


    Zhuang Xian turned her head to look at MO Qian. Her beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, and she pretended to disagree. ¡°Do I look like someone with a temper? It was a long time ago that I scolded Si Yan. I¡¯ve already moved on!¡±


    When MO Qian heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s tone, he smiled and nodded. He said gently, ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re over it. It saves him the trouble of asking if you¡¯re appeased whenever he sees me.¡±


    As he spoke, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and helplessness and amusement appeared in his eyes.


    Zhuang Xian did not take that matter to heart at all. Of course, MO Qian, the peacemaker, did not actively apologize to Zhuang Xian on Si Yan¡¯s behalf. It had been so long since the incident had happened, but Young Master MO finally remembered and wanted to ask Zhuang Xian if her anger had subsided on Si Yan¡¯s behalf!


    Therefore, the only person who cared about this was Si Yan.


    At this moment, Doctor Si, working hard in the hospital, suddenly sneezed for no reason. After returning to his senses, he even muttered, ¡®Who¡¯s talking about me in such a boring way?


    As the main culprits, MO Qian and Zhuang Xian naturally did not know about this. MO Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s side profile and thought of something else. He continued to ask Zhuang Xian, ¡°I heard from Uncle Zhuang that you would be attending the audition for Song Shi Company¡¯s endorsement tomorrow afternoon. Are your injuries okay? I understand that you don¡¯t want them to know you¡¯re injured, but I still hope that you will take care of your body before you do anything. There¡¯s nothing more important than your own body, understand?¡±


    Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Zhuang Xian knew they were almost home. She slowly sighed in relief and looked back at MO Qian. ¡°It¡¯s okay. My hand is fine. It¡¯s just an audition. It won¡¯t waste too much of my energy.¡±


    MO Qian listened to Zhuang Xian¡¯s reply and stared at her for a long time. When the car stopped before the Zhuang family¡¯s villa, he sighed and said softly, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow. I have something to do with Song Shi.¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded and reached out to open the car door herself, but MO Qian¡¯s assistant was already standing outside. She suddenly remembered something, and her eyes flashed with embarrassment. She pursed her lips slightly and looked up at MO Qian again as if she had made up her mind!


    ¡°Thank you for treating me to ice cream just now. Thank you for listening to me and comforting me! Even though the matter was not resolved effectively, I am thrilled and feel those problems are no longer important! I will continue to work hard and do what I promised you!¡± Zhuang Xian said softly with a bright smile on her lips.


    Good night then. Be careful when you go back. Bye!¡±


    After Zhuang Xian said this, she looked deeply at MO Qian. When the assistant opened the car door, she ran out of the car!


    Seeing the girl waving at him with a smile, MO Qian smiled gently. His pair of amorous eyes were full of love and indulgence for Zhuang Xian. It was not until Zhuang Xian¡¯s back was out of sight that he motioned for the driver to drive away. He took out his phone and dialed the number of a particular angel in white.


    The work and matters MO Qian had to deal with daily were complicated. However, caring about his future wife¡¯s psychological and physical health was equally urgent!


    Therefore, he could only trouble Doctor Si. After all, in Young Master Mot s mind, even if his brother suffered, he would not let his future wife suffer.


    On the second day after Saint Capital University¡¯s hellish military training ended, Zhuang Xian woke up early when almost all the freshmen were still stuck in their soft beds!

 Chapter 585 - Chapter 585: Chapter 585. Sister’s Craftsmanship

    Chapter 585: Chapter 585. Sister¡¯s Craftsmanship


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    At 7:10 am, when Zhuang Bai came down from the second floor with his phone in hand, the dining room was filled with the faint aroma of toasted bread. As the only person in their family who would laze in bed was not around, the dining table was already filled with people.


    Zhuang Bai turned off his phone and looked at his family members sitting neatly at the dining table. He asked curiously, ¡®Why is everyone up so early today? So I¡¯m the only one who sleeps in?¡±


    Zhuang Bai smiled as he said this. He casually chose a seat beside Zhuang Xian and sat down. He did not pause for a moment before asking his sister, ¡°Sister, aren¡¯t you going to the audition in the afternoon? Why did you wake up so early as well? You don¡¯t have anything to do in the morning, so that you can sleep a little longer! When your third brother was your age, he could fall asleep standing up.¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to Zhuang Bails casual conversation and smiled lightly.


    Just as she was about to answer her brother¡¯s question, she was interrupted by Zhuang Hang, who was sitting opposite her!


    ¡°You are. Is there a need to doubt it? Lately, Third Brother hasn¡¯t been home, so you don¡¯t have anyone to take him down with you!¡± As Zhuang Hang spoke, he did not forget to bite the soft sweet bread in his hand. He looked up at Zhuang Bai and raised his eyebrows provocatively. He continued, ¡°My sister woke up the earliest today. She baked the bread and cookies! You¡¯ve been overseas and haven¡¯t tasted my sister¡¯s cooking. You¡¯re in luck today!¡±


    If Zhuang Hang had not explained, Zhuang Bai would have already guessed it.


    This was because the Zhuang family had never lit up this skill before. Madam Lin En and Auntie Jiang were both from H City and knew how to cook authentic, spicy, delicious, and authentic H City cuisine. They did not know how to make this exquisite Western-style dessert or fragrant soft toast for breakfast.


    So the only possibility was that this breakfast was made by their new member, their hardworking and cute sister.


    Zhuang Bai did not mind Zhuang Hang¡¯s childish behavior. He only smiled at


    Zhuang Xian and said with anticipation, ¡°Then I have to have good taste. When I was overseas, I always heard Mom praise your cooking daily! Also, I know you worked as a pastry chef at Lanwei.¡±


    Zhuang Xian felt a little helpless about the identity she had accidentally dropped the last time.


    When she heard Zhuang Bai¡¯s praise for her, she smiled lightly but did not say anything. That was because her big brother still controlled what she had done previously. She did not know if her big brother would mind that she had used him.


    These things had already happened so long ago. The Zhuang family would not deliberately mention it, but she could not help but feel guilty.


    Lin En pretended to glare at Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai, who had been talking as if she had noticed Zhuang Xian¡¯s silence. When she opened her mouth, she pretended to be fierce and said, ¡°Can¡¯t such a delicious breakfast shut the two of you up? Eat well.¡±


    Zhuang Ming liked the bread that Zhuang Xian had baked today. The simpler it was, the more it reflected the chef¡¯s ability. In Zhuang Ming¡¯s heart, his precious daughter¡¯s craftsmanship was unbeatable!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s culinary skills were naturally impeccable. He had always eaten very little for breakfast, and today was an exception for Zhuang Xian. As he ate, he didn¡¯t forget to praise her for not being bad. She was good enough to open a restaurant. Young Master Zhuang quickly submitted to her.


    After breakfast, Zhuang Hang set his eyes on his sister. He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s slightly tired expression and wanted to chase her back to her room to sleep. He threatened that if Zhuang Xian did not listen to him, he would not go to the office today. He would keep guarding Zhuang Xian¡¯s door!


    Zhuang Xian was powerless. She shook her head with a smile and obediently returned to her room. However, just as she was about to go upstairs, she slowly walked to her father¡¯s side and raised her hand to cover Zhuang Ming¡¯s ear. After saying a few words softly, she stuffed a lunch box into Zhuang Ming¡¯s arms. Finally, she blinked her big eyes at Zhuang Ming and happily went back to her room to sleep.


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang exchanged glances as they watched their sister¡¯s relaxed and cheerful back..

    They saw the same doubt in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Zhuang Hang retracted his gaze from Zhuang Bai. When he looked up at


    Zhuang Ming again, he asked in confusion, ¡°Dad, what was Sister whispering to you just now? Tell us honestly, is there something fishy between the two of you? You even deliberately hid it from us. Ah ¡­ Mom, why did you hit me?¡±


    Before Zhuang Hang could express his confusion, Lin En had already knocked on his head. Zhuang Hang subconsciously cried out in pain and asked his mother in confusion.


    Lin En retracted her hand and stared at Zhuang Hang as if she was not worried. Opening her mouth, she scolded, ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to use words, we won¡¯t force you. You can talk less or not! Can the word ¡®fishy¡¯ be used between your father and sister? Can you think before you speak so you don¡¯t look so stupid?¡±


    Zhuang Hang touched the discomfort on his head and looked at his mother with dissatisfaction. He thought bitterly in his heart, ¡®Forget it.¡¯ Who asked this woman in front of him to be his biological mother? She directly suppresses him with her bloodline! After weighing the pros and cons, again and again, he chose to remain silent.


    As his son, how could he possibly defeat Madam Lin En?


    Looking at her second son, who had given in without a fight, Madam Lin En glanced at him helplessly. She felt that there was no point in arguing with her second son. With this thought in mind, she looked sideways at Zhuang Bai beside Zhuang Hang and asked deliberately gently, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You want to know too?¡±


    Zhuang Bai was someone who knew how to adapt to the situation. He grabbed the briefcase at the side and pointed toward the living room. He hurriedly explained, ¡°No, Mom. It¡¯s getting late. We want to go out quickly. After all, we still have a meeting with the MO Corporation later! I¡¯ll go out and see if the chauffeur is here!¡±


    As he spoke, he glanced at Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang from the corner of his eye. However, it was as if he was stepping on a fiery wheel as he rushed out!


    Zhuang Ming looked at his wife, lecturing his son in amusement, and a sincere smile appeared.


    If others saw his expression, they would probably start to spread the rumor that Mr. Zhuang was a level 10 wife slave.


    However, when Lin En looked at him, his smile slightly disappeared. He looked at Lin En very gently and explained, ¡°Xian¡¯er said that she promised to give this to MO Qian before. She asked me to take it to MO Qian when I meet with him later. Xian¡¯ er is being kind and keeping her word.¡±


    Lin En raised her eyebrows slightly. After silence, she suddenly nodded to indicate that she understood. She waved, indicating that Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Hang could leave.


    When she looked back at the empty plate of desserts on the dining table, no one knew what she was thinking.


    In any case, Mr. Zhuang Ming was carrying a beautiful lunch box and sighing that ¡®a grown woman can¡¯t be kept.¡¯ He, the old father, had become an essential wall between his precious daughter and his future son-in-law!


    MO Qian knew that Zhuang Xian had always kept her word, but he did not expect her to be so proactive this time. She had promised to give him delicious snacks but had made them so quickly.


    If this were before, Zhuang Xian would have dragged it out until she could not drag it out any longer. She would not be as straightforward as she was now! Only then would she reluctantly agree to fulfill her promise?


    Although Zhuang Xian did not personally come to this silent battlefield, MO Qian expressed that he had already received love from Zhuang Xian. As he ate the crispy sweet snacks, MO Qian¡¯s depression for the entire morning dissipated. He felt that even if he had to spend a few more hours in a ¡®lawsuit¡¯ with Fang Dong and Tian Zhen, it would not be a problem.


    The MO Corporation¡¯s branch office in City H was located in a tall building near the headquarters. Although the facilities here were not as luxurious and thoughtful as the headquarters, it was naturally not too bad as MO Qian¡¯s temporary workplace.


    After all, they were the MO Corporation.. Even if it was just a branch company, many other companies could not compare to them because the MO Corporation had never lacked money!

 Chapter 587 - Chapter 587: Chapter 587. MO Qjan

    Chapter 587: Chapter 587. MO Qjan


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    It had been a few days since assassins from Country R attacked the MO Corporation¡¯s headquarters. However, the political figures of City H, represented by Fang Dong and Tian Zhen, were still negotiating with MO Qian and Ming En Group.


    Tian Zhen was dissatisfied with MO Qian¡¯s price raising and was not persuaded. He only wanted to follow the original plan and determine the profit sharing between the two parties in this project, but MO Qian was not willing! On the surface, they seemed to be negotiating, but in fact, they were arguing with each other.


    Fang Dong and Tian Zhen led a press conference to explain the terrorist attack to the public. However, MO Qian was not satisfied with such an indifferent attitude, so he requested to renegotiate the profit sharing between the two parties in this project, saying that this was the official compensation for MO Corporation.


    After all, the MO Corporation¡¯s headquarters was still in a mess. Didn¡¯t the government have to pay for this?


    The answer was naturally yes. MO Qian was not the kind of person who would suffer silently. He grasped the other party¡¯s weakness. MO Qian began to fight for the most significant benefits for himself and Ming En. Although they had lost a lot of blood, it was still within an acceptable range.


    Therefore, MO Qian has been negotiating with Fang Dong for the past few days. He did not give an inch, and Fang Dong was in a terrible state!


    In such a situation, the difference between them was already noticeable. Fang Dong and the others were too passive in front of MO Qian.


    Today was the last time to confirm the details of this project proposal. Fang Dong and Tian Zhen were forced to retreat again and again by MO Qian. Ultimately, they had to accept MO Qian¡¯s request and confirm the final profit sharing. MO Qian took 2% more profit sharing. This was an astronomical figure. It was a level ordinary people could never imagine in their lives!


    In addition, MO Qian also made a few more hard requests. One of them was to pull Ming En into the game. Fang Dong had already made the most significant concession, so he naturally had no objections to such additional requests. He expressed his agreement.


    Therefore, the MO Corporation officially signed the project agreement with the officials today, and everyone from the Ming En Group was present. In this huge conference room, the air was tranquil at the moment. The only sound was the pens in MO Qian and Fang Dong¡¯s hands smoothly rubbing against the agreement.


    After MO Qian and Fang Dong signed their names, it was Zhuang Ming and Tian Zhen¡¯s turn to sign the second column.


    Zhuang Ming knew very well that as long as he did this, Ming En Corporation would be tied entirely to MO Corporation in the next few years. They would be grasshoppers on the same rope!


    Although this analogy was a little inappropriate, and the MO Corporation was


    not a grasshopper, Zhuang Ming could not think of a better word to describe it now.


    He wrote his name under MO Qian¡¯s name and heaved a sigh of relief. However, he did not show much on his face. It was just that his eyes were shining brightly. He looked very high-spirited!


    This would be another massive step for Ming En Group in the business world. It was something that others would not be able to catch up to even if they chased after it for five years!


    The ¡®others¡¯ naturally referred to the Ye family. There was a massive difference in the overall situation between the two families. They were probably still fighting for some small profit, while Ming En had already taken the next step to the sea of stars.


    In Ye Zheng¡¯s previous life, he relied on despicable and insidious methods to plot against Ming En. He had even relied on the naive Zhuang Xian to crush the Zhuang family from the inside. His methods could not be described as ruthless and insidious, but he was far inferior to Zhuang Ming in terms of actual ability and business talent. He could not even compare to Lin En, who had retired from the second line.


    Ye Zheng had never been Zhuang Ming¡¯s match. The reason why he could win in his previous life was entirely due to accidents and unforeseen circumstances. The Zhuang family¡¯s luck was terrible, and Zhuang Xian was an efficient and easy-to-control fool. She was one of the essential reasons she directly dragged down Ming En and the Zhuang family.


    However, in this life, Zhuang Xian was no longer the Zhuang Xian from before.


    The Zhuang family and Ming En Corporation were fated to have good luck. Now, there was also MO Qian, who was like a lucky star, making everything develop smoother and faster. It was just like what the book said.. MO Qian was a substantial golden thigh that the Zhuang family had to cling onto tightly!

    Time had changed. Many things had already begun to change. However,


    Zhuang Xian was in the middle of the game and could not see it too clearly.


    And this epiphany would only happen a long time later when Zhuang Xian had truly broken free from the prison of her mind and let go of all the hurtful and embarrassing things in her previous life. Only then would she truly see clearly that God had not only given her a chance to reshuffle her life but had also given her a brand new and brighter ¡®future¡¯!


    This ¡®future¡¯ was MO Qian, who appeared in Zhuang Xian¡¯s life. She would be saved by MO Qian, just like how she saved MO Qian.


    In her previous life, Zhuang Xian and MO Qian had never interacted with each other. Zhuang Xian might have heard of MO Qian in some news or from some big shot.


    MO Qian should be utterly unaware that Zhuang Xian existed in this world.


    Because in his previous life, he did not even have much interaction with Zhuang Ming, let alone know that Zhuang Ming had such an unknown adopted daughter!


    MO Qian probably didn¡¯t know.


    However, most things in this world were unpredictable, and absolutes were absent. Perhaps, MO Qian had seen Zhuang Xian? Who could say for sure?


    The scene returned to the present. After several twists and turns and difficulties, the Phoenix Cry Plan was finally finalized at 11 0¡¯clock this morning in the meeting room of the MO Corporation branch!


    To many people, this was great news. However, to MO Qian, who could not predict what would happen next, and the people from the Zhuang family, this would be a tou?h challenge and a rare opportunity.


    As for MO Qian and Zhuang Xian, this was a new challenge, or rather, a new difficult dungeon. Their connection in the future would only become more intimate and tacit.


    Fate had weaved a new journey for them. They could not stop. They could only grit their teeth and continue to move forward.


    At noon, Ming Tu received a special transfer order from the Ministry of


    National Security. This was a 5S-level top-secret target protection mission. The target to be protected was one of the core figures in the Phoenix Cry Plan, the only heir of the MO family, MO Qian, who had just signed a cooperation agreement with the government.


    The Ministry of National Security had also assigned a specific executor for this top-secret mission. This executor was no outsider. She was Silentr, the number one assassin of the Underworld Gate!


    Underworld Butcher looked at the top-secret mission letter in his hand, especially when he saw Silente¡¯s name printed on it. His heart skipped a beat. The special mission was suddenly issued a few days ago; wasn¡¯t it also explicitly referring to Silente protecting MO Qian? He should have noticed it earlier.


    So, who was this, MO Qian?


    He frowned and pondered over this matter. Suppose he was just an ordinary businessman who had worked with the government on a top-notch foreign investment project. Why would the Ministry of National Security care so much about his safety? Ming Tu¡¯s heart was filled with doubts. The mission letter in his hand was like a piece of red iron, so hot that he did not know whether to take it or put it down.


    The fact that the direct superior of the Underworld Gate issued such a strict order was already a good indication of the country¡¯s attitude!


    They valued MO Qian and his cooperation with the government. That was why they directly ordered Silente, a high-level agent, to protect MO Qian at all times during the implementation of the Phoenix Cry Plan.


    To be able to use Silente as a bodyguard, he must be an important political figure in the country. Was MO Qian that important in the eyes of these higher-ups?


    Ming Tu was thinking about these things carefully in his heart. He did not notice his assistant walking into the office until the assistant knocked on the door lightly and lowered his head to report to him that Fang Dong had sent an invitation to invite their sect master to have tea at the teahouse in the afternoon.


    Ming Tu casually threw the mission letter into the hole on the table. When he raised his eyes, he looked at the assistant with an abnormally dangerous gaze. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, ¡°You know my rules. Why didn¡¯t you knock before entering my office? What do you want?¡±


    The assistant¡¯s body stiffened when he heard that. He was utterly stunned when he raised his head to look at Ming Tu. His body trembled as he opened his mouth and wanted to apologize urgently..

    Chapter 589: Chapter 589. Spy? Traitor


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The assistant looked at Ming Tu in panic and said with a trembling voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sect Master! I didn¡¯t do it on purpose! I thought this matter was urgent, and I had to report it to you as soon as possible, so I forgot the rules in desperation. I should have knocked first! I¡¯m sorry, Sect Master. I¡¯ll go and receive my punishment now!¡±


    Ming Tu silently listened to his assistant¡¯s apology. His well-proportioned slender fingers knocked on the table as he looked at him with a dark and deep gaze. Doubt slowly flashed through his heart.


    After a long while, Ming Tu nodded and waved his hand to signal for him to leave. He suspected that there was something wrong with this assistant! Looking at the back of the assistant leaving, Ming Tu directly called his subordinate in the information branch.


    Fang Dong wanted to apologize to the Underworld Gate. Today, this top-secret mission letter had only been in the door for 10 minutes. Why did he have to come at this time to report a matter? This had not happened in a day or two, so he was not in a hurry to drink tea.


    The assistant was not like this before. He would not be so rash and unruly. He was very strange today. As Ming Tu thought about this, he slowly decided in his heart. He told his subordinate on the phone, ¡°Take control of Eagle now and find out who he has been in contact with recently! Check carefully.¡±


    This simple sentence from Ming Tu had already decided the outcome of his assistant, Fei Ying!


    The efficiency of the Underworld Gate¡¯s detection of spies and traitors was extremely high. If something were wrong with Fei Ying, he would not live past tonight. The fate that awaited him was the investigation of the information. Ming Tu had been a special agent for more than 20 years, and his intuition had never missed.


    Zhuang Xian, who was far away in Song Shi Company¡¯s interview hall, was preparing for her audition. She had no idea many things had happened in the Underworld Gate today.


    Song Shi Company was a wholly-owned company in Country R, so most of the employees in the company were from Country R. Song Shi was an excellent advertising design company, and Mr. Song Shi himself was also an internationally famous advertising tycoon!


    MO Qian had assigned this project to Zhuang Ming because he wanted to introduce Zhuang Ming to Mr. Song Shi. He had put in much effort, and Zhuang Ming naturally Imew this.


    Zhuang Ming also admired and liked MO Qian very much. In his heart, he treated MO Qian as one of his own!


    So when his precious daughter said she wanted him to bring some snacks for MO Qian this morning, Zhuang Ming was still gratified and happy. He felt there was a high possibility between MO Qian and Zhuang Xian. It was just that Zhuang Xian was too young now, and everything had to be done slowly.


    MO Qian was a very outstanding and patient child. He believed that MO Qian would wait until his precious daughter grew up! However, after seeing through MO Qian¡¯s feelings for Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Ming heaved a sigh of relief.


    Zhuang Ming was sitting on the sofa beside Zhuang Xian. Compared to the other people who came for the interview, Zhuang Xian was too calm, so calm that Zhuang Ming found it a little funny. His eyes would size Zhuang Xian up occasionally as if he wanted to see if his precious daughter was not nervous.


    After thinking briefly, he said gently, ¡°That¡¯s true! After all, our Xian¡¯ er has already been on the big screen. It¡¯s normal for her not to be nervous for an ordinary audition like this.¡±


    Zhuang Xian only smiled lightly when she heard that. Then, she looked helplessly at the men around her.


    She didn¡¯t expect her big brother and second brother to accompany her. Her father was here to discuss the audition with Mr. Song Shi. Last night, he said he had something to talk to Mr. Song Shi about, but he had been surrounding her ever since he arrived at the company. There were a total of four men around Zhuang Xian, and they were all tall and handsome. They were not inferior to some male celebrities in the industry at all!


    After being scrutinized countless times by the other audition actors, someone finally left the room. He called Zhuang Xian¡¯s name and asked her to follow him in.


    Zhuang Xian immediately jumped up from her chair. After a slight sigh of relief, she smiled lightly at the men beside her. Her beautiful little face was


    here. It should be soon.¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Zhuang Ming and Lin En, who had been smiling silently. After nodding, she followed the staff in..

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Seeing his precious daughter nod at him, Lin En smiled gently and waved at her, encouraging her to follow the staff in quickly.


    When Lin En retracted her gaze from Zhuang Xian¡¯s back, she realized that the men beside her had worried and concerned expressions on their faces. They looked like parents who were sending their children to the examination hall.


    Lin En shook her head helplessly and said gently, ¡°Alright! Can you all put away the worry on your faces? Our Xian¡¯er has filmed movies before. Isn¡¯t it easy for her to audition for a spokesperson like this? She¡¯ll be fine!¡±


    As she spoke, she looked at Zhuang Ming beside her. After thinking for a moment, she asked, ¡°There were a lot of people waiting here just now, so I


    couldn¡¯t ask much. But now that most of them have left, I must ask you!¡±


    Zhuang Ming¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He keenly noticed that his wife¡¯s tone was a little off. He nodded, indicating for his wife to ask.


    Lin En narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked Zhuang Ming in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say last night that we could directly participate in the audition today? We have been waiting for almost an hour. Why did Song Shi¡¯s staff make us stay for so long? Moreover, when these staff members came over to call Xian¡¯er, they did not intend to clarify. What kind of rule is this?


    Although it¡¯s fine to wait a little longer, and our Xian¡¯er isn¡¯t a big-shot celebrity whose time is precious, since you guys had agreed on a time before, why didn¡¯t they come at the arranged time when we arrived at their company? Is this the concept of time in their company? Not even an explanation?¡±


    Lin En whispered to Zhuang Ming as her brows slowly furrowed. Although Zhuang Xian did not say much, she felt a little uncomfortable as her mother. She could not bear to see Zhuang Xian suffer any grievances!


    Besides, Xian¡¯er came to this audition to help Song Shi Company find a suitable spokesperson as soon as possible. Why did it seem like they were the ones who were desperate to be the spokesperson?


    Lin En felt that this matter was strange and had put the cart before the horse. She did not say much in front of Zhuang Xian just now, but Zhuang Ming was the one who took on this task for their daughter, so she had to let Zhuang Ming explain it clearly.


    Zhuang Ming naturally understood what Lin En meant. He slowly recalled and realized that this matter was unusual. He frowned and looked up at Lin En. He nodded and replied, ¡°This is indeed a little strange. I¡¯ll call Song Shi and ask!¡±


    As he spoke, he was about to take out his phone to call Song Shi, but Song Shi seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. Before he could make the call, Song Shi had already walked in from the outdoor door.


    Song Shi immediately saw Zhuang Ming sitting on the sofa. When he turned around and saw MO Qian beside Zhuang Ming, his eyes suddenly lit up. A very enthusiastic smile immediately appeared on his face. His footsteps quickened as he walked towards MO Qian in the wheelchair!


    Although Song Shi was entirely Japanese, he spoke fluent Chinese.


    He reached out to shake MO Qian¡¯s hand but still smiled and said, ¡°Mr. MO Qian! Why are you here? Why didn¡¯t you inform me beforehand that you were coming to our company? We¡¯re too rude!¡±


    MO Qian smiled lightly after hearing this, but he looked sideways at Zhuang Ming beside him and replied slowly, ¡°I¡¯m here with my Uncle Zhuang to settle some matters. I¡¯ll be leaving soon, so don¡¯t worry too much.¡±


    After he said that, he shook hands with Song Shi. His expression was polite and distant, contrasting with Song Shi¡¯s enthusiastic attitude!


    Song Shi was a very perceptive person. MO Qian was telling him that Zhuang Ming was the main character today! When he saw MO Qian¡¯s attitude, he immediately understood that he was only here to accompany Zhuang Ming today and did not intend to steal the host¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Ahahaha! Mr. MO Qian is indeed straightforward. Please make yourself at home today. You¡¯re welcome! Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with


    Mr. Zhuang Ming..¡±

 Chapter 591 - Chapter 591: Chapter 591. See Through It at a Glance

    Chapter 591: Chapter 591. See Through It at a Glance


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Song Shi laughed, trying his best to warm up the atmosphere.


    He glanced at MO Qian fawningly, then turned to look at Zhuang Ming and the others beside MO Qian. He pretended to think momentarily and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go into the venue and discuss it? Anyway, I have to communicate with the director first. Let¡¯s go in together!¡±


    Zhuang Ming and Lin En looked at Song Shi in confusion. Even though they didn¡¯t say anything, they understood each other¡¯s intentions. Zhuang Ming smiled, but his smile didn¡¯t reach his eyes. He said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go in and talk! I also have some questions for Mr. Song Shi and the people who arranged today¡¯s audition.¡±


    When Song Shi heard Zhuang Ming¡¯s tone, he felt something was wrong.


    However, he didn¡¯t show it on his face. He just smiled at Zhuang Ming and MO Qian, who was beside him. He walked in front and led them into the audition room.


    Zhuang Xian, who had followed the staff into the inner room, had already talked to the director for five minutes. The director seemed very satisfied with Zhuang Xian¡¯s appearance and figure. He kept sizing her up and would nod occasionally to show his satisfaction.


    ¡°From what you said, you should be very good at Go, right?¡± Murakami looked at Zhuang Xian excitedly and asked happily.


    He held a fine white chess piece in his hand. Before Zhuang Xian could answer his question, he raised his hand and gestured for Zhuang Xian to sit on the chair opposite him. On the table between them was a half-finished Go game.


    Murakami chuckled as he looked at Zhuang Xian. His eyes were filled with encouragement and some interest. He continued, ¡°Come closer and take a look.


    In this game of chess, can the white stone still be saved?¡±


    Zhuang Xian was a little confused. Although she had little experience in auditions and commercials, Director Murakami¡¯s request was bizarre. Who would ask the other party to play chess with them during an audition?


    Although Zhuang Xian felt that Murakami¡¯s actions were a little strange, she thought about how her father had asked her to do this. She sighed subtly and walked over to sit down.


    She glanced at the chessboard in front of them. After only two seconds, she said softly, ¡°This is the final game between China¡¯s Wu Xu 7-dan and Japan¡¯s Ida 6-dan in the Tianyuan Go competition not long ago, right?


    I¡¯ve watched a bit of this match. Shiroko is an Ida 6-dan player but still lost to


    Wu Xu. Wu Xu used this victory in the Tianyuan Tournament to go straight to


    7-dan.¡±


    Listening to Zhuang Xian¡¯s explanation, Murakami knew he was not wrong. Zhuang Xian was not lying. She did know how to play Go, at least the kind that could play it!


    As for her actual level, Murakami had no idea. This was because Murakami had never heard of anyone named Zhuang Xian among the young female Go players in China, at least not anyone above 2nd dan.


    Murakami became excited as he thought about these things. He smiled and continued, ¡®You know quite a lot. Do you know how to play Go? Have you ever participated in a domestic match? How is your rank?¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at the chessboard in front of her without any mistakes. She did not have any particular reaction after hearing that. She only asked indifferently, ¡°Is this important? Is the number of Go moves a requirement for you to choose your spokesperson?¡±


    As she spoke, she raised her eyes and casually picked up a white chess piece with her slender fingers. She looked at Murakami indifferently and raised her hand slightly. She placed the chess piece on the chessboard and continued, ¡°Since you have such high expectations for your spokesperson¡¯s Go skills, why don¡¯t you find a professional Go player? How could there be any actor who knew how to play Go?¡±


    Murakami looked at the spot where Zhuang Xian had placed her piece as if his soul had suddenly been sucked away by something. He was stunned, and his brows slowly furrowed.. He even mutters, ¡®What do you mean by sticking your hand on me?¡±

 Chapter 592 - Chapter 592: Chapter 592. Breaking The Situation

    Chapter 592: Chapter 592. Breaking The Situation


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡®What¡¯s the use of landing in this position? You can¡¯t eat the other party¡¯s black pieces, nor can you connect to your chess pieces. Why? Why did you land here?¡±


    Murakami muttered to himself as if he was shocked. However, he had a strange intuition in his heart. He felt that Zhuang Xian must have some reason for doing this. However, this move was so profound that he could not understand it himself!


    Zhuang Xian was slightly taken aback after seeing Director Murakami¡¯s crazed look. She turned to look at the other staff members beside her. She saw that they were all confused and staring at the chessboard. She slowly came to a significant conclusion.


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows slightly and thought, ¡®So this group was all chess fanatics!¡¯ She had never expected that the people from Song Shi


    Company loved Go. The Go atmosphere in their company was powerful. It was no wonder they had to find a female spokesperson who was a citizen of Z country. She had to be a celebrity who could play Go!


    Moreover, judging from Murakami¡¯s current expression, an ordinary amateur Go player was insufficient. It had to be a professional Go player who had reached the first stage, at least at the beginner stage.


    These people were daring. No wonder they couldn¡¯t find an actual Go spokesperson despite searching the entire Z country¡¯s film and television industry. This request was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. Zhuang Xian felt a little amused. Just as she was about to remind them to return to their senses, the door to the room was knocked open.


    Zhuang Xian subconsciously turned her head to look. He was also stunned when the person outside the door saw the scene in the room.


    MO Qian looked at the people in the room and thought they were all surrounding Zhuang Xian. He was about to frown and ask what was happening, but when he saw Zhuang Xian and the chessboard before them, he swallowed his doubts and suddenly felt depressed!


    ¡°What are you doing? Why are you all surrounding our Xian ¡®er?¡±


    Fortunately, Aunt Lin En asked about the situation, so MO Qian immediately fell silent. He controlled the wheelchair and leaned over. His destination was on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left.


    Song Shi didn¡¯t expect the audition to be like this. After a moment of shock, he quickly followed the crowd.


    Director Murakami was Song Shi¡¯s good friend. They had been friends for many years, so Murakami only returned to his senses when Song Shi called his name gently!


    He turned to look at the person calling him and excitedly said to Song Shi, ¡°Oh my god, Song Shi, you don¡¯t know what Zhuang Xian did just now. She broke Wu Xu¡¯s 7-dan Go game! This was a skill that even Ida didn¡¯t expect! Look!¡±


    Murakami¡¯s face was filled with excitement as he spoke. It was as if he had discovered an incredible treasure and was about to go crazy!


    Song Shi was naturally interested in a game that could shock even Murakami.


    Murakami and the photography team weren¡¯t the only Go fanatics here. Song Shi was also a level 10 Go fanatic. His love for Go was unmatched!


    That was why he and Murakami were so in sync. They worked tirelessly to find the perfect spokesperson for this project for over half a month. Could it be that their hard work paid off? Did they pick up a treasure today?


    As Song Shi thought about this, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard before him!


    Zhuang Ming had already told Song Shi that his precious daughter Zhuang Xian was an amateur player who could participate in the Go competition. She might be able to meet their requirements. However, Song Shi¡¯s confidence had been shattered by the difficulty of the project, so he did not take Zhuang Ming¡¯s words to heart at all.


    Therefore, when he saw the current situation, his eyes were filled with shock and surprise. He naturally knew that Murakami¡¯s chess game was precious. When he heard his old friend say that the chess game had been solved, he did not believe it. However, when he saw the white stone on the chessboard, Song Shi fell silent!


    After a long while, he seemed to understand. Murakami, standing beside him, saw his expression of understanding and quickly communicated with him excitedly! The expression in his eyes changed, and a sudden realization welled up in his heart..

 Chapter 593 - Chapter 593: Chapter 593. Murakami’s Conjecture

    Chapter 593: Chapter 593. Murakami¡¯s Conjecture


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Thus, in front of so many people in the room, Song Shi and Murakami began their five-minute-long heated discussion. The main topic of their conversation was Zhuang Xian¡¯s unexpected move!


    In this year¡¯s Tianyuan Go Tournament between Z country and R country, Wu Xu and Ida, who had reached the final match, were the rising stars of the international Go circle. The number of Go skill levels behind their names were all true. They relied on themselves to play step by step.


    It was the strength and experience accumulated with countless money and energy. It was not something that some people could achieve by chance or luck.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s move was ingenious and exciting. The amount of calculation required for this move was shocking. Ida 6-dan didn¡¯t play. Of course, Song Shi and Murakami couldn¡¯t play either. That was why they were so excited. It was as if they had won a super big prize!


    They were praising the hidden courage of this move. This was to directly overthrow Wu Xu¡¯s strangulation of Ida and save the building from collapse. It was amazing! They discussed passionately for a long time, but it was only about the ingenuity of this move and the considerable calculation in between.


    However, they had yet to realize that there was something more important than this move.


    MO Qian glanced at the Go board and then turned to look at Zhuang Xian. He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s slightly helpless expression, and a smile slowly overflowed from his face. It was bright and proud as if Zhuang Xian made him proud.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s brilliance was like a box of surprises that could never be opened. MO Qian did not know what kind of abilities and skills Zhuang Xian would have in the next second that would surprise him.


    He smiled and looked at Zhuang Xian. The love and affection in his eyes seemed to be about to be uncontrollable. He said gently, ¡°This move of yours was very clever. It directly broke the black pieces¡¯ strangulation and gave the white pieces a chance to make a comeback. As long as there are not too many mistakes later, the white pieces still have a chance of victory! It could be said to be a great move. It saved the building from collapsing. Not bad!¡±


    Listening to MO Qian¡¯s explanation, almost the same as his analysis, Song Shi looked at him with excitement. He was so happy that he was confused. He didn¡¯t expect MO Qian to play Go, nor did he expect to meet such a powerful female Go player like Zhuang Xian.


    At the same time, Murakami seemed to have finally reacted. His keen eyes stared straight at Zhuang Xian, sitting across from him. He was unusually nervous when he opened his mouth but also asked in anticipation, ¡°So, you really haven¡¯t participated in any professional Go matches?


    You have such strong and fierce Go skills. Why haven¡¯t I seen you on the Go player rankings in Country Z? If you¡¯re not on the professional Go rankings, are you playing as an amateur?¡±


    Perhaps it was because Murakami was also a director. After asking Zhuang


    Xian these questions, he suddenly had an idea. When he opened his mouth, he asked in surprise and anticipation, ¡°Or are you not using your real name at all?


    Your attainments in Go should be very high. At the very least, you should be better than Ida and Wu Xu! Because you could tell at a glance that they had already gone all out in this game. This was already an unambiguous indication of this fact!¡±


    Murakami looked at Zhuang Xian excitedly as he continued to analyze, ¡°As for Wu Xu and Ida, one of them is a professional 7th dan Go player who just won the Tianyuan Go Tournament, while the other is a professional 6th dan Go player. For you to see through their game so easily, your Go skills should far exceed theirs.¡±


    After listening to Director Murakami¡¯s analysis, Lin En and Zhuang Bai, as well as Zhuang Hang, who was behind them, looked at Zhuang Xian in surprise. Even Zhuang Ming, who had always known that Zhuang Xian was very good at chess, looked at Zhuang Xian in slight surprise.


    Although Zhuang Ming had always liked the game of Go, which was a puzzle and an exciting sport, he only enjoyed it. He treated Go as a hobby, unlike Murakami and Song Shi, who were crazy and passionate. He was also not as professional as them, so his judgment of Zhuang Xian was inaccurate..

 Chapter 594 - Chapter 594: Chapter 594. Zhuang Xian ‘s Go Skills?

    Chapter 594: Chapter 594. Zhuang Xian ¡®s Go Skills?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Ming had told Song Shi that Zhuang Xian could participate in the ranking competition. Still, looking at the current situation, Zhuang Xian¡¯s strength in Go was not limited to this.


    Director Murakami had said that Zhuang Xian was at least a professional Go player above 7th dan!


    And what kind of concept did a professional 7-dan Go player have?


    Wu Xu, who had just won the Tianyuan Tournament and was promoted to a professional 7-dan Go player, was already 45 years old. Even a middle-aged Go player like him was considered very young and talented in the Go world.


    Wu Xu was an extraordinarily talented and capable chess player. How terrifying was Zhuang Xian, who had broken through his full offensive and killed him with all her might, with just a glance?


    Murakami did not dare to imagine and was extremely surprised just now, but now that he saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s calm expression, he chose to believe her.


    This was an extraordinary feeling. Some people were born with an aura that could convince countless people, and this aura was something that many people could not achieve even after cultivating it for a lifetime.


    After Murakami finished asking those questions, everyone fell into a certain silence. Everyone was waiting for Zhuang Xian¡¯s explanation. They were also very curious and looking forward to it. Was Zhuang Xian really as Murakami had guessed? Was she a super strong Go player who hid her true strength and identity among the crowd? Perhaps she had some legendary secrets that no one Imew!


    Zhuang Xian could feel the intense anticipation in their eyes. She raised her eyebrows in amusement and helplessness, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.


    She threw away the chess piece in her hand and leaned forward slightly, leaning against the chessboard on the table. She propped her delicate chin with one hand and smiled lightly when she spoke. ¡°Whether it¡¯s a professional Go tournament in China or abroad, there¡¯s a specific age limit. It¡¯s usually above 18 and below 25 years old. I¡¯m not in this age range.


    Moreover, there¡¯s no possibility of using a fake name to participate in the competition. So I¡¯m just a fan, not a hidden expert like you said!¡± since you like Go, vou should understand this kind of thinq, right? Can vou stop iokinq?


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s last sentence was actually to answer Director Murakami¡¯s guess. Of course, she also wanted to dispel some of the surprise of her parents and brothers.


    The expressions on their faces were so happy that they were about to fly. Zhuang Xian had no intention of becoming a Go player in her life. This skill was just a ¡°hobby. ¡± She did not want everyone to know about it. Even in front of her family, Zhuang Xian was used to being low-key and steady.


    Seeing the disbelief in everyone¡¯s eyes, Zhuang Xian pursed her lips guiltily. However, when she glanced at MO Qian from the corner of her eye, a bold and ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in her mind.


    Zhuang Xian pretended to be in deep thought for a moment before she said helplessly, ¡°Alright then! Since none of you believe me, I can only tell you the truth! I wasn¡¯t the only one who could have thought of that move just now.¡±


    Zhuang Xian pointed at MO Qian beside her and added, ¡°Actually, MO Qian and I thought of it together. He¡¯s much better at Go than me! It¡¯s a coincidence today. I just happened to discuss Director Murakami¡¯s review of this chess game with MO Qian before. This is also the only way for the white stone to survive after we thought about it for a long time! Right, MO Qian?¡±


    MO Qian, who was suddenly called and was unguarded, ¡°¡­¡±


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes, that was vaguely sending him a distress signal; MO Qian felt a little helpless and amused, but more than that; there was a slightly strange sweetness. He clenched his fist before his face and hid some uncontrollable laughter. He nodded and replied, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right! She and I thought of it together.¡±


    Everyone was speechless.


    ¡®Yes, that¡¯s right! Why do you look so happy? Don¡¯t think we don¡¯t know your dirty thoughts and that you can bewitch my sister!¡¯

    Chapter 595: Chapter 595. Song Shi¡¯s Explanation


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡®Sooner or later, I¡¯ll tell you how powerful I am!¡¯ Zhuang Hang¡¯s eyes were filled with quietness. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself! He suspected he had been forced to feed him a mouthful of dog food.


    He strode over to the other side of Zhuang Xian and looked at MO Qian with a cold gaze. Confused, he asked, ¡°When did you become so familiar with MO


    Qian? You could even sit together and scrutinize the game. When did you watch


    When Zhuang Xian heard this, she immediately lowered her head and coughed twice guiltily. However, she stepped on Zhuang Hang lightly without leaving a trace to signal her second brother to ask less. Now was not a good time to get to the bottom of it.


    Zhuang Hang noticed that his foot had been lightly stepped on. He was no longer curious about the matter between Zhuang Xian and MO Qian. Naturally, he understood what his sister meant. He took a deep breath without showing his emotions and tactfully fell silent.


    Second Young Master Zhuang was naturally a brilliant person. He was very good at judging the situation and stopping when the situation was good.


    As if he could already tell it was nothing, Zhuang Ming laughed loudly and said, ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s right. If our Xian¡¯er is that powerful, how could we not know about it? A genius Go player has appeared in this family. Isn¡¯t this a


    matter of glory for the family? We hoped this was true, but Xian¡¯er isn¡¯t even 17 years old this year. How can she be so good? Don¡¯t you agree, Mr. Song Shi?¡±


    Song Shi was not a fool to be able to run Song Shi Company so well. He felt he understood Zhuang Xian and Zhuang Ming¡¯s intention to keep a low profile. He quickly nodded and replied with a smile, ¡°Yes, yes, Mr. Zhuang Ming is right!


    But Murakami and I have already decided..¡±


    Song Shi turned to look at Murakami, who was also very excited, and continued, ¡®We want to hire Miss Zhuang Xian to endorse our Song Shi Go series! We sincerely hope that Miss Zhuang Xian will agree!¡±


    As soon as Song Shi finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Then, Lin En laughed happily and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that this matter has been settled, but I still have a few questions for Mr. Song Shi!¡±


    Song Shi was slightly stunned when he heard that. He subconsciously asked, ¡°Oh? What other questions does Mrs. Zhuang have? Ask away!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, but before I ask this question, I want to know what exactly Mr. Song Shi said he wanted to discuss with Zhuang Ming and the director when he led us into the venue.¡± Lin En asked with a smile, a look that Song Shi couldn¡¯t understand flashing across her beautiful eyes.


    This feeling made Song Shi feel that something was wrong and dangerous. He subconsciously turned to look at Murakami. After a long while, he sighed and said, ¡°Actually, this matter is a little complicated! If it were Miss Zhuang Xian who didn¡¯t pass our audition, I wouldn¡¯t be able to explain the whole story because I feel that I¡¯m letting Mr. Zhuang Ming down!


    Our headquarters sent a notice saying someone has already chosen this endorsement! I knew Mr. Zhuang Ming would bring Miss Zhuang Xian to the audition today, so I¡¯ve been arguing with them. I hope we can wait until Miss Zhuang Xian¡¯s audition is over before making the final decision. However, the headquarters¡¯ attitude is unyielding. They said that they would not consider this matter unless Miss Zhuang Xian could compete with professional Go players!


    I understand that the sudden change in this matter will make many people¡¯s efforts go to waste, including the hard work of Murakami and me. That¡¯s why after being delayed for so long, I rushed over to discuss with Mr. Zhuang Ming and Murakami how to deal with this matter!¡±


    As Song Shi explained, a hint of shame slowly appeared on his face. He looked at Zhuang Ming, Lin En, and Zhuang Xian, who was sitting on the chair, with a guilty look! He seemed to understand that their company had done something wrong.


    However, in the next second, he took a deep breath, and the haze and shame on his face disappeared. When he spoke again, he was abnormally excited. He said casually, ¡°However, the situation has already been reversed. Zhuang Xian¡¯s Go skills are not weak. Her image and temperament are naturally impeccable. She is already the strongest among all the actors we have auditioned recently.


    I plan to submit Murakami and my solemn opinion to the headquarters.. I will invite Miss Zhuang Xian to work with us to complete this essential commercial shoot! ¡°

    Chapter 596: Chapter 596. Rejected


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When Song Shi explained this, his eyes were frank. Like Murakami, he had put much effort and energy into this advertisement.


    Previously, when they couldn¡¯t find a suitable candidate for this advertisement, he and Murakami resisted the pressure from the headquarters and insisted they would find the most qualified candidate. However, after more than half a month, the progress of their project was still complicated.


    That was why their headquarters, the Doug consortium, had directly issued an order to interfere with their project progress today. However, it just happened that Zhuang Xian, the dark horse, had appeared today!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s appearance gave Song Shi and Murakami the best choice. They were delighted with Zhuang Xian¡¯s conditions. They did not want this project they had put so much effort into interfered with by others.


    Therefore, Zhuang Xian¡¯s passing at todays audition was excellent news for them. How could this not make them excited and happy?


    In fact, after seeing Zhuang Xian¡¯s Go skills, Song Shi made up his mind. He thought that even if he told the truth today, he might offend the Zhuang family or Mr. MO Qian, but he would not hesitate!


    He knew that it was impossible to hide this matter. MO Qian and Zhuang Ming were not simple people. They could find out with a flick of their fingers. Doug Headquarters decided on the appointment. Song Shi Company had ignored Zhuang Xian for over an hour, igniting their anger.


    Song Shi wasn¡¯t an idiot. He took the initiative to explain sincerely and wanted to use the opportunity to confirm Zhuang Xian¡¯s role in the commercial shoot with the Zhuang family! He knew precisely what Lin En wanted to ask, so he chose to do this.


    Song Shi was very clear about the details of these things. He didn¡¯t try to hide it from the Zhuang family and MO Qian, who was obviously on the same side as Zhuang Ming. This was already great wisdom.


    MO Qian¡¯s current status was not what it used to be. He was not someone he could provoke. Moreover, they were unkind even if he took ten thousand steps back. They were in the wrong but also wanted to continue working with


    Zhuang Xian. Therefore, this concession and honesty had to be done well!


    After Song Shi explained the situation, the room¡¯s atmosphere became quieter. He looked at Lin En and Zhuang Ming with a pounding heart. After observing them for a long time, Song Shi realized he couldn¡¯t see through their thoughts.


    He thought about it and wanted to say something, but Murakami, beside him, beat him to it.


    ¡°Looking at this matter now, it¡¯s indeed a little troublesome! But Song Shi and I share the same thoughts. We both hope to work with Miss Zhuang Xian.¡±


    Murakami slowly ran out of words but still looked at Zhuang Xian sincerely. After thinking momentarily, he said excitedly, ¡°But Zhuang Xian, you can trust me completely. I don¡¯t think anyone is more suitable for this role than you! And I strongly feel that our cooperation this time will be a win-win situation for both sides!¡±


    Zhuang Bai stood behind the crowd and listened to their conversation silently. When Murakami finished speaking, he frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s useless for you to make up your mind and express your attitude to us now! When you can take the decision on this matter, come and talk to us!¡±


    He glanced at Zhuang Hang on the far right of MO Qian and Zhuang Xian as he spoke.


    How could Zhuang Hang not understand what his big brother meant? He smiled lightly and echoed Zhuang Bai, ¡°Although our Zhuang Xian is not a big star yet, we don¡¯t have to shoot an advertisement with many unspoken rules!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for being rude. I don¡¯t want Zhuang Xian to suffer. You still have to ask the headquarters for advice on everything..¡±

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°If one day, your headquarters suddenly changes their mind and wants to promote someone else, where will our Zhuang Xian go? Will you listen to the headquarters or stick to your principles?¡±


    As Zhuang Hang spoke, he had already seen Murakami¡¯s hesitant expression.


    The smile on his face deepened, but it did not reach his eyes. He continued, ¡°Actually, these things haven¡¯t been decided yet. I suggest you go down and handle the communication with the headquarters first. After you get the contract for this advertisement, we can chat well!


    Our Zhuang Xian just came back from military training yesterday. She didn¡¯t even rest well and rushed over to attend your audition. However, Song Shi gave us such a scene. This is not polite, and it should not be!¡±


    After saying this, Zhuang Hang smiled and looked at Song Shi. After thinking for a while, he continued, ¡°I know it¡¯s not easy for you, Mr. Song Shi, but if you don¡¯t settle this matter first, we won¡¯t agree to cooperate. This is the attitude of my family and my sister.¡±


    Song Shi and Murakami were slightly stunned when they heard this. They did not expect the Zhuang family to be so brutal. After glancing at the Zhuang brothers who spoke, they looked at Zhuang Ming and Lin En, who had been silent, and Zhuang Xian, the protagonist of this incident.


    Zhuang Xian had agreed to attend this audition because Zhuang Ming had asked her to. She wanted to help her father if she could, but if she really couldn¡¯t, there was nothing she could do.


    If Zhuang Ming had not asked her, she would not have wasted her time on this. Therefore, in her heart, this matter did not matter. She still had many other things to do! Naturally, the most important thing at the moment was to recuperate from the injuries on her body that had yet to heal.


    Zhuang Xian, who had been quietly listening to her two brothers fighting for justice for her, did not know that there would be more arguments and wrangling in the future!


    Song Shi and Murakami were delighted with her condition and expressed their desire to cooperate. However, if this cooperation wanted to go smoothly, it was not something that they could say. This was something that any intelligent person could understand.


    Looking at Zhuang Xian¡¯s silent expression, Song Shi also understood. He frowned and pondered for a long time. Just as Zhuang Hang was getting impatient and wanted to say something, he spoke! It was so long that the room seemed to be silent.


    Song Shi sighed and said, ¡°I understand what you mean. This is also a very reasonable and normal worry! Please give me two days. I¡¯ll come back with the contract to discuss with you!¡±


    After speaking, he bowed slightly to Zhuang Xian and MO Qian. He smiled and continued, ¡°We are inconsiderate about today¡¯s matter. Please forgive us. We are very sorry! If possible, I would like to invite everyone to the restaurant for a meal. May I?¡±


    Zhuang Xian let out a faint sigh as if she was a little tired. She did not want to waste time on this small talk and pleasantries. Just as she was about to reject this person, MO Qian, who was beside her, spoke first.


    Although Zhuang Xian¡¯s sigh was very subtle, MO Qian, who had been observing her, immediately noticed the change in her mood. He rejected him directly, ¡°Let¡¯s forget about the meal first. If we can cooperate later, I¡¯ll treat you.¡±


    As MO Qian spoke, he slowly stopped twirling the ring on his finger and looked up at Song Shi with a smile. ¡°I was kind enough to help Mr. Song Shi and even asked my Uncle Zhuang to devise a plan. I didn¡¯t expect things to turn out like this. I feel like I¡¯ve done too much. I¡¯ve made things worse! ¡®


    Young Master MO said this as if he was blaming him, and the uneasiness in his eyes had already reached Song Shi. Song Shi was so frightened that his expression froze. He quickly apologized and smiled apologetically. He looked abnormally panicked and servile. Anyway, it was a little funny.


    When Zhuang Xian and the others came out of Song Shi¡¯s company, it was already 6 pm..

 Chapter 598 - Chapter 598: Chapter 598. Eccentric

    Chapter 598: Chapter 598. Eccentric


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Speaking of which, today¡¯s audition went very smoothly, but whether it would succeed was uncertain. Zhuang Ming would not force anything. How could this business matter be more critical than his precious daughter? Anyway, it had already come to this point.


    Zhuang Xian had to be happy and willing. If Murakami and Song Shi wanted to trick Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Ming would be the first to disagree!


    Previously, he only thought this role was suitable for Zhuang Xian. However, when he saw the current situation, Zhuang Ming felt very annoyed and speechless. It turned out that things in the entertainment industry could be so complicated and obscure!


    Thinking about all these things, Zhuang Ming rejected Song Shi¡¯s offer to send them out. He held Lin En¡¯s hand and called Zhuang Xian and her two brothers like guardians. They walked straight out of Song Shi¡¯s door.


    Standing in the parking lot at the entrance of Song Shi Company, Zhuang Ming turned his head to look at MO Qian. After thinking for a while, he said with a weak smile, ¡°Why did you scare them in the end? This is a matter of ¡®if the deal doesn¡¯t work out, then benevolence and righteousness are still here.¡¯ It¡¯s not good for you to offend others for our Zhuang Xian!¡± Of course, Mr. Zhuang would never forget his future son-in-law.


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, he thought about how MO Qian had scared Song Shi and amusedly shook his head.


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang also looked at MO Qian, silently following behind them. Their emotions were a little complicated. An extraordinary feeling had been lingering in their hearts since!


    ¡°MO Qian was so angry at Song Shi that he couldn¡¯t even retaliate. Was he supporting Xian¡¯er or venting his anger?¡± Zhuang Hang frowned and shook his head. He wanted to shake this seemingly absurd but true conjecture out of his head.


    Zhuang Bai looked at MO Qian silently and sighed in his heart.


    Lin En naturally did not miss Zhuang Ming¡¯s words. She looked at MO Qian behind her and finally could not help but laugh out loud.


    This somewhat wanton laughter immediately caused the people around her and Zhuang Xian to look sideways at her. Even Zhuang Xian turned to look at her mother, who had suddenly burst into laughter!


    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen MO Qian being so ruthless and sarcastic! Song Shi and Murakami had been in Country Z for so many years. Why did MO Qian insult them as if they didn¡¯t know how to speak Chinese?


    Hahaha! Now that I think about it, I still find it very funny! Initially, I wanted to say something to help Xian¡¯ er vent her anger, but seeing how powerful MO Qian¡¯s combat strength is, it¡¯s not my turn anymore! That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t say anything! Aiya, you don¡¯t know how uncomfortable I was when I was inside!¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to her mother¡¯s happy words. Her eyes changed from a bit of surprise at the beginning to helplessness and amusement.


    However, Lin En¡¯s excitement did not stop there. As she spoke, she looked at MO Qian¡¯s silent smile and said, ¡°I have to thank MO Qian for venting my anger so freely today! Do you have any other plans tonight? If not, let¡¯s go to


    Paramount for dinner. Auntie is treating!¡±


    Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En helplessly. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. Her mother¡¯s ability to take action was as good as before. Considering that MO


    Qian had been busy recently, Zhuang Xian thought momentarily and looked at MO Qian from the side. She said bluntly, ¡°If you still have something to do, hurry up and leave! Don¡¯t delay it because of this meal. My mother is too happy.


    She doesn¡¯t mean to make things difficult for you!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not difficult.¡±


    As soon as Zhuang Xian finished speaking, MO Qian immediately responded. He smiled and looked at Zhuang Xian before looking up at Lin En, who was beside Zhuang Xian. He continued, ¡°Today¡¯s matters have already been completed. I don¡¯t have any other arrangements. How can I not go to Auntie¡¯s treat? We have to go!¡±


    Lin En was happy to be coaxed by MO Qian and nodded in agreement. When she turned to the side, she ordered her second son, saying, ¡°Zhuang Hang, hurry up and make a call to reserve a seat.. We¡¯ll go over directly in a while! Ask them to add two more desserts and a cup of ginseng soup to the previous dishes!¡±

 Chapter 599 - Chapter 599: Chapter 599. Eating Again

    Chapter 599: Chapter 599. Eating Again


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Lin En took Zhuang Xian¡¯s hand and smiled gently. ¡°Their ginseng soup is delicious. Drink more ginseng soup to nourish yourself. When you came home yesterday, your face was pale, and you looked listless today! Look at your pale face!¡±


    Zhuang Xian, who her mother had adequately set up, did not say anything. She smiled at Lin En, and a warm feeling slowly surged in her heart. Of course, there was also a hint of guilt.


    MO Qian saw all the changes in Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression. He did not show it on his face, but he sighed helplessly in his heart!


    ¡°Although Paramount¡¯s desserts are not as good as Lanwei¡¯s, I think you¡¯ll like them too, MO Qian. I¡¯ve eaten them once before, and they¡¯re pretty good!¡±


    Lin En smiled and put down her hand pinching Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. She looked at MO Qian gently and said, ¡°Xian¡¯er asked her father to bring you some snacks today. Did you receive them?¡±


    MO Qian immediately came back to his senses and nodded with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve already received it. They¡¯re very delicious!¡¯


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian beside him. The smile in his eyes was as sweet as eating snacks. A warm feeling rose in his heart.


    Zhuang Xian bit the corner of her lips and did not reply. She only nodded her head perfunctorily.


    At around 7 pm, Zhuang Xian followed the crowd to the most famous restaurant in City H.


    Zhuang Xian naturally liked this kind of happy family gathering. She turned her head to look at MO Qian beside her, and the happiness in her heart seemed more stable. She did not realize that she had already become used to MO Qian¡¯s existence in daily interactions.


    This change seemed to be slow, so Zhuang Xian herself did not notice it.


    As it was dinner time, many people were still entering the restaurant. Zhuang Xian was in a good mood, so she looked left and right and slowly fell behind the group!


    MO Qian did not know whether it was intentional or not. After waving his hand to dismiss the assistant behind him, he controlled the wheelchair and followed Zhuang Xian¡¯s right-hand side. He looked at Zhuang Xian with deep eyes as if he could never get enough of her.


    There were a lot of people coming and going in the hall. Lin En walked in front with her husband and sons. She was a few meters away from Zhuang Xian. For some reason, there was a sudden commotion in the hall. Zhuang Xian was suddenly surrounded by many ¡®diners.¡¯ The crowd subconsciously looked in the direction of the noise.


    Therefore, when Zhuang Xian was lightly bumped by someone and a note was stuffed into her hand, no one noticed it. Even MO Qian, who had been looking at Zhuang Xian, missed this obscure scene because he was slightly distracted.


    Zhuang Xian looked at the back of the man who had disappeared into the crowd. The hand holding the note was naturally stuffed into her shirt pocket.


    The expression in her eyes darkened as she thought in surprise and confusion,


    ¡®Why would a colleague from the Underworld Gate come over to give her a


    mission at this time? Did something happen inside the door that she didn¡¯t know about? What was Ming Tu trying to do by summoning her so anxiously?¡¯


    Many questions flashed through Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind, but she did not show them on her face. She even took the time to smile at Lin En, who was calling her in front and said that she would be right there. She took a step forward and walked directly to MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair.


    She reached out and held onto MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair¡¯s armrest, pushing him naturally towards Lin En and the others.


    MO Qian didn¡¯t think anything was wrong with Zhuang Xian pushing the wheelchair for him. However, when he saw the subtle and strange expressions on the faces of the Zhuang family, he suddenly realized that Zhuang Xian seemed to be very used to pushing the wheelchair for him!


    In their eyes, this action seemed unusual and even a little too intimate.


    As MO Qian thought about these things, he quickly noticed Zhuang Xian¡¯s slight absent-mindedness. She did not seem to see this tiny detail. MO Qian felt a strange sweetness in his heart.


    His strategy of ¡®boiling frogs in warm water¡¯ seemed to have paid off..

 Chapter 600 - Chapter 600: Chapter 600. Mysterious Note

    Chapter 600: Chapter 600. Mysterious Note


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian focused on going upstairs and checking the note in her pocket, did not notice these details.


    It was not until they had all entered the elevator that Zhuang Hang sized her up with an unclear expression Zhuang Xian looked back at her second brother in confusion. She asked with her eyes, ¡®What¡¯s wrong?


    Zhuang Hang realized that his sister did not understand the meaning in his eyes.


    Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Hang in confusion and realized he was only looking at her helplessly. She retracted her gaze and stared at the hair on MO Qian¡¯s head in a daze.


    When they arrived at the private room in the restaurant on the first floor, Zhuang Xian told Lin En that she needed to go to the bathroom. She let go of MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair and walked away.


    MO Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s back as she left. He responded to Zhuang Ming¡¯s call and controlled the wheelchair to lean forward, stopping between Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Bai.


    In the private bathroom, Zhuang Xian stood in front of the sink, holding the mysterious note in her hand. After Zhuang Xian read the contents, her delicate brows slowly furrowed.


    Ming Tu had invited her to meet him at the Underworld Gate¡¯s stronghold in City H at 10 0¡¯clock tonight!


    She frowned slightly, wondering why Ming Tu was looking for her now! Zhuang Xian did not expect Ming Tu to summon her in such a hurry. He was even willing to risk being discovered by her family to find someone to inform her immediately!


    Zhuang Xian was injured now. Even if there were a critical mission in the sect, she would not accept it for now. She knew very well what she should do at the moment.


    Ye Xin and the Ye family were still jumping around before her! She could not continue to waste time on these unimportant things. She needed to focus all her energy and ability on her revenge plan.


    Zhuang Xian had thought about many things in just a few minutes. However, she did not know that no matter how many decisions she made and how determined she was, she could not care about anything else when it came to


    Mo Qian!


    This would only happen after she met Ming Tu at night, so she didn¡¯t want to talk about it now.


    Just as Zhuang Xian looked at herself in the mirror, Lin En knocked on the bathroom door and asked gently, ¡°Xian¡¯er! Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Are you still inside?¡±


    Zhuang Xian quickly snapped back to her senses. She raised her hand to turn off the tap that had been turned on and replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine, Mom. I¡¯ll be out soon!¡±


    As she spoke, she opened the door and walked out. When she saw Lin En, she smiled and comforted her, ¡°I¡¯m wonderful, Mom. You don¡¯t have to be so nervous.¡±


    Lin En reached out to grab her wrist and said with a gentle smile, ¡°I saw that you didn¡¯t look well these past two days. I was worried that you weren¡¯t feeling well! Is it your period?¡±


    Hearing Lin Ent s question, Zhuang Xian smiled helplessly. Then, she shook her head and explained, ¡°No, Mom. I guess it¡¯s because the military training was too tiring. It would take a while to recover. I¡¯ll be fine after resting for a few more days.¡±


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression did not seem fake, Lin En heaved a sigh of relief and replied, ¡°That¡¯s good. I was afraid you were injured or wouldn¡¯t tell me after you fell ill. You know that we all care about you very much. Don¡¯t think that this is a trouble for us. We¡¯re family, so we shouldn¡¯t treat you like outsiders, understand? Family and friends were meant to cause trouble for each other!¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles, and her entire heart was warm. She tried her best to suppress the guilt and awkwardness in her heart and nodded in agreement.


    The first floor served the dishes very quickly. The dishes were already served when Zhuang Xian and Lin En returned to the dining table. Zhuang Xian responded to her two brothers¡¯ concerns and sat on the chair opposite MO Qian. It was Zhuang Hang who pulled the chair for her.


    Seeing that his sister had chosen to sit beside him, Zhuang Hang smiled in satisfaction. He looked at MO Qian, who was sitting opposite them provocatively. He almost wrote the word provocation on his forehead.


    MO Qian could tell that Second Young Master Zhuang did not like him.. He sighed helplessly, but his face did not show anything!

 Chapter 601 - Chapter 601: Chapter 601. Seen Through

    Chapter 601: Chapter 601. Seen Through


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    MO Qian felt extremely bitter. Zhuang Xian, who was often unpredictable, had already made him suffer setbacks and hardships. If Zhuang Xian¡¯s brothers were to be obstacles, this road would probably be even more turbulent and full of twists and turns! He also understood that his road to pursuing his wife was unusually long.


    Young Master MO knew that the road ahead was long and dangerous, but for the sake of his future wife, he had no choice but to welcome her with a smile and face all the ¡®difficulties¡¯ bravely and fearlessly.


    MO Qian did not mind Zhuang Xing¡¯s provocation. He only smiled and chatted with Zhuang Ming and Zhuang Bai. Occasionally, he would glance at Zhuang Xian sitting opposite him.


    Zhuang Xian knew that MO Qian was looking at her, but she didn¡¯t know that MO Qian had already thought about so many things in such a short time. She drank the ginseng soup that Lin En had scooped for her. It was warm and comfortable. Just as they were eating happily, the waitress knocked on the private room door again.


    Holding a beautiful tray, the waitress had a very thoughtful and gentle smile.


    She said to Lin En, sitting near the private room door, ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, Madam.


    Lin. I¡¯m sorry to disturb your meal. This plate of desserts is a gift from


    Paramount for our old customers.¡±


    Lin En smiled after hearing that. She glanced at the snacks on the waitress¡¯ tray and replied gently, ¡°Thank you. Leave it there.¡±


    The waitress nodded respectfully and slowly walked up to serve them their dishes. However, she did not notice that Zhuang Xian, sitting beside Lin En, had been sizing her up with an unnoticeable gaze!


    Zhuang Xian slowly stopped drinking the ginseng soup. After a while, she looked at the dessert the waitress had placed down. Her gaze fell on the waitress¡¯ right hand.


    When the waiter placed the desserts on the dining table, Zhuang Xian could smell her body very clearly as Zhuang Xian was sitting next to Lin En. Of course, there was also a strange smell from the desserts!


    Zhuang Xian took another deep look at the desserts on the table. Just as the waitress was about to leave, she said softly, ¡°Can I trouble you to help us open the red wine we left here last time and bring it up?¡±


    After the waitress heard this, the smile on her face froze for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. She nodded and replied respectfully, ¡°Yes, Miss. Please wait a moment!¡±


    Just as the woman was about to step back and leave the private room, Zhuang Xian anxiously shouted at MO Qian¡¯s assistant and bodyguards standing on both sides of the door, ¡°Take her down! Don¡¯t let her escape!¡± Zhuang Xian nodded slightly and looked at her calmly.


    Fortunately, MO Qian¡¯s subordinates were all very smart people. They also knew this Fourth Miss Zhuang¡¯s importance to their young master. Therefore, after a slight reaction, they immediately obeyed her order and reached out to grab the woman!


    The female assassin, who thought she had disguised herself well, was shocked when she heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s order to arrest her. She subconsciously turned around and retaliated. She even threw the tray in her hand and injured MO Qian¡¯s driver.


    When she regained some of her rationality the next second, she suddenly realized that she had been tricked by the girl who had suddenly spoken behind her!


    This girl couldn¡¯t see through her elaborate disguise in the short period they spoke. However, her subconscious counterattack just now declared to them that her identity was not simple.


    She had confessed without being beaten and exposed herself! As the female assassin fought with the bodyguards, she quickly thought about these questions. She bit her lip in frustration and looked at Zhuang Xian, closest to her, with a sinister gaze!


    The female killer looked at the frail girl before her and felt she was a pushover. A thought flashed through her mind. She wanted to kill this girl who seemed easy to deal with first. She would regret and sigh at her foolish decision a few minutes later.


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang, who had heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s warning in the last few seconds and quickly realized that the situation was not right, had already stood up nimbly. They reached out to pull Lin En and Zhuang Ming, as well as MO Qian, who was sitting in a wheelchair and could not protect himself..

 Chapter 602 - Chapter 602: Chapter 602. Zhuang Xian VS Female Assassin

    Chapter 602: Chapter 602. Zhuang Xian VS Female Assassin


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang surrounded the three of them behind them. They used their bodies as a barrier, providing the only relatively safe protection in the room.


    Zhuang Bai stood at the front and raised his hand to protect Lin En. He looked worriedly at Zhuang Xian, the closest to the fight. He called out anxiously, ¡°Xian¡¯er, come over quickly! Don¡¯t get too close to them!¡±


    Zhuang Ming put down the phone in his hand and looked up. Just as Zhuang Bai was still worried about Zhuang Xian and wanted to pull her over, the female assassin had already broken free from the bodyguards. She held a sharp dagger and was already charging at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Bai did not know how powerful Zhuang Xian¡¯s martial arts were. He watched as the female assassin rushed toward his sister. He felt his heart suddenly stop. His eyes widened as he shouted sternly, ¡°Xian ¡®er, be careful! Get out of the way!¡±


    However, Zhuang Xian did not move at all. Even the nonchalant expression on her face did not change at all. It was as if she did not hear Zhuang Bai¡¯s warning. She looked at the female assassin charging straight at her, and a vicious glint flashed across her beautiful eyes!


    Just as the female assassin was about to stab Zhuang Xian¡¯s neck with the dagger, Zhuang Xian dodged to the side. The blade slashed past her slender neck, barely piercing through the air.


    The female assassin¡¯s body was close at hand. Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was indifferent. She raised her elbow and hit the right side of the female assassin¡¯s face. She kicked her calf. Seeing the female assassin lose her balance and fall to the dining table, Zhuang Xian stepped back and narrowed her eyes. She looked at her dangerously.


    ¡°Again.¡±


    The female assassin ignored the pain in her body and her slightly dizzy head. When she heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice, which sounded like a god of death, coming from behind her, she reacted quickly and stood up. Blood had already flowed out from the corner of her right lip. This showed how terrifying Zhuang Xian¡¯s seemingly light elbow attack was!


    Her attack had failed, but she had suffered two serious injuries. Her brain gradually reacted. She had kicked an iron plate! She looked at Zhuang Xian with a vicious gaze and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She cursed softly.


    Zhuang Xian was close to her and saw the shape of her lips. She slowly understood what was going on.


    She asked sarcastically, ¡°You¡¯re from Country R, right? Who was the target tonight? Do you have any accomplices outside?¡±


    Naturally, the female assassin would not answer Zhuang Xian¡¯s question. After realizing she could not escape, she sneered at Zhuang Xian and strode forward again! She quietly observed her surroundings from the corner of her eye.


    Zhuang Xian understood what was going on. She was unconvinced that she had failed in her first attack and wanted to compete with her to regain some face.


    When Zhuang Xian raised her hand to block her attack, she did not forget to remind her out of kindness, ¡°You are not my match! If you want to live tonight, you¡¯d better answer my question truthfully. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡±


    ¡°Cut the crap! Go to hell!¡±


    The female assassin did not waste any time talking to Zhuang Xian. After withdrawing her arm that Zhuang Xian had blocked and suppressed, she opened her mouth and mocked. Her entire attack had no intention of retreating.


    Zhuang Xian snorted lightly and retaliated with her fists. Her punches were fierce, and the angle was unusually tricky. After the female assassin took a few punches, she withdrew her leg and wanted to leave the melee position.


    But how could Zhuang Xian let her have her way? In this arena with limited fighting range, Zhuang Xian¡¯s close combat skills were the most invincible and fatal!


    She did not manage to take more than ten moves from Zhuang Xian.


    After being sent flying by Zhuang Xian¡¯s swift and fierce kick, she panted heavily and lay on the ground, barely breathing.


    The people standing at the side watching the battle finally reacted. MO Qian¡¯s assistant closed his mouth, half open in surprise, and held the pistol against the female assassin¡¯s head. He shouted in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡±


    Zhuang Xian retracted her legs and calmly stood up straight. She tidied her clothes, which were a little messy because of the big fight.


    The assassin should be glad that Zhuang Xian was only wearing ordinary white casual shoes today!

 Chapter 603 - Chapter 603: Chapter 603. Lost Another Identity?

    Chapter 603: Chapter 603. Lost Another Identity?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    If Zhuang Xian¡¯s shoes were a pair of military boots or special combat shoes, this female assassin would have been killed by Zhuang Xian¡¯s kick!


    Zhuang Xian did not hold back when she beat up this female killer. She knew they could not get any helpful information from this killer, so she did not waste her energy and showed no mercy.


    Just as if to confirm Zhuang Xian¡¯s thoughts, the female assassin looked up at Zhuang Xian sinisterly after she fell to the ground. After muttering a few words in R language, she bit the poison hidden in the corner of her clothes and spat out black blood. She died in the private room.


    Lin En wasn¡¯t shocked by the fight between Zhuang Xian and the female assassin. Instead, she was surprised by the scene before her and felt slightly nauseous.


    Zhuang Ming noticed Lin En¡¯s abnormality and raised his arms to pull her into his arms.


    Zhuang Bai restrained the shock on his face and stared at his sister without blinking as if he was scared silly.


    The assistant, holding the gun to the female assassin¡¯s head, did not expect her to commit suicide. The assistant even wanted to stop the female assassin¡¯s behavior, but it did not work!


    The assistant panicked when he saw that the female assassin had stopped breathing. He subconsciously looked up at Zhuang Xian and their young master, who had been silent all this while.


    ¡°She failed her mission today and was already determined to die.¡± Zhuang Xian said this in a low voice. She had already turned to look at MO Qian, who was behind the crowd.


    After exchanging a glance with MO Qian, Zhuang Xian sighed slightly and continued to explain, ¡°Even if we can bring her back alive, she won¡¯t reveal any information to us. This is an unchanging rule in the assassin world of Japan.


    Assassins who fail their missions have no chance of survival!¡±


    When Zhuang Xian said this, she also noticed the gazes of her family members. She took a deep breath and looked at them solemnly. After thinking for a while, she suggested to Zhuang Ming, ¡°Dad, why don¡¯t you send Mom home first? She seems to be a little scared! This matter shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with our family. This killer is here for MO Qian.¡±


    When Zhuang Ming heard Zhuang Xian speak to him, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s sparkling eyes and pursed his dry mouth. He slowly frowned, but his tone was filled with caution. After a long while, he found his voice.


    ¡°How do you know she¡¯s the killer? She was holding a dagger in her hand! Although we know that your martial arts are not bad, this person is a vicious killer. How dare you directly confront her? Are you trying to kill us?¡±


    As Zhuang Ming spoke, the more he thought about it, the more anxious and angry he became. His entire face was flushed red. He watched Zhuang Xian gather her energy. He was furious at his ¡®brave¡¯ and ¡®unrestrained¡¯ precious daughter, but he could not scold her. Thus, he started to get angry at himself.


    Lin En, leaning against Zhuang Ming¡¯s chest, seemed to have slowly calmed down. She did not look at the lifeless female assassin on the ground. She only looked at Zhuang Xian with red eyes and slowly sat down on the chair beside her.


    She waved Zhuang Xian over. There was no anger or depression in her expression, only heartache.


    Zhuang Xian felt guilty. She bit the soft flesh in her mouth and strolled towards Lin En stiffly.


    When the female assassin attacked her for the first time, she had already considered whether she should start a counterattack and expose more of herself in front of her parents and brothers!


    However, this female killer did not give her much time to consider.


    Besides, it seemed that no one else in the room could control this female killer except herself.


    For the sake of the safety of everyone in the room and the need to quickly take down this female assassin, Zhuang Xian had no choice but to do this. She thought that the most severe consequence of this matter was to lose a disguise in front of her parents.. It was better than hiding and causing everyone to be frightened!

 Chapter 604 - Chapter 604: Chapter 604. MO Qjan Has Someone!

    Chapter 604: Chapter 604. MO Qjan Has Someone!


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When it came to matters involving her family¡¯s safety, Zhuang Xian could still distinguish the priorities. Even if the price of doing so were to expose her identity in front of others, Zhuang Xian would not hesitate!


    In her previous life, Zhuang Xian had already experienced too many accidents and misfortunes related to her family. Hence, Zhuang Xian would never allow herself to repeat the same mistakes.


    This was also why she had risked her life several times since she was reborn. She had always tried her best to protect her Zhuang family.


    The atmosphere in the private room became very quiet. Zhuang Xian looked at Lin En¡¯s outstretched hand and held it without hesitation, just like how she had wanted to hold Lin En¡¯s hand in her previous life.


    Zhuang Xian had indirectly figured out some things, so when she faced her father¡¯s detailed questions and her brothers ¡®puzzled and confused gazes, she was no longer as flustered and nervous as before. Although she still had some guilt that could not be cleared, it was much better than before!


    It was not just these reasons that suddenly caused Zhuang Xian to change her mind. There was also a factor that she was unclear about her special feelings for MO Qian.


    Zhuang Xian had long guessed the female assassin was here for MO Qian. She had no intention of letting the female assassin go. In her opinion, these gangs from Country R had gone too far. They did not seem to care about the security forces in City H of Country Z at all!


    It had only been a few days since the attack on MO Corporation¡¯s building.


    Their follow-up harassment had not stopped at all. They didn¡¯t care about the deterrence and pursuit ability of the police in City H.


    On the way to Song Shi Company with Zhuang Ming today, they had also encountered a few suspicious ¡± little tails.¡± Zhuang Xian had naturally noticed all of them. She was not by MO Qian¡¯s side in the past few days, so she could not care about many things. But today, these assassins dared to do something in front of her. Zhuang Xian naturally could not tolerate it!


    She wanted to tell those killers that MO Qian had people around him.


    If they dared to continue threatening MO Qian like this in the future, this female assassin today would be their end. They would have to think twice if they still wanted to do anything to MO Qian. If they were alive to come to City H, would they be able to return to Country R?


    Zhuang Xian was not a conceited and arrogant person. There was a reason why she dared to do and think this way. She dared to be so arrogant for those people to see.


    Of course, Zhuang Xian had kept these secrets to herself, so outsiders could not know.


    Zhuang Ming sighed softly as he watched Zhuang Xian sit beside Lin En. His expression became complicated and worried. He could not understand why his beloved daughter, who had always been obedient and cute, would have such terrifying martial strength.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s calmness and rationality in dealing with this assassination were not something ordinary people could have. There were many things about Zhuang Xian that they did not know and were unclear about. Their Xian¡¯er was like a perfect person. There seemed to be no flaws in her!


    Zhuang Xian naturally had no way of knowing what Zhuang Ming was thinking about. She obediently let Lin En hold her hand and looked at her mother with a bit of guilt.


    Lin En¡¯s eyes were red, and her half-raised hand trembled slightly. She wanted to reach out to touch Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm, the part of her clothes that was soaked in red.


    Seeing that Zhuang Xian did not seem to realize that she had been ¡®exposed,¡¯ Lin En¡¯s eyes turned red. She looked up at her and said distressedly, ¡°When you came home yesterday, I felt something was wrong with you. We asked if you were injured or sick, but you didn¡¯t tell us!


    What happened to your left hand? How long do you want to hide it from us? This child¡­What are you thinking?¡±


    Hearing Lin En¡¯s question, Zhuang Xian subconsciously looked at the wound on her left arm. When she saw the bleeding marks, Zhuang Xian was stunned. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and regained the pain in her arm.


    It turned out that Zhuang Xian did not retreat unscathed in the battle just now.. The wound on her left arm had torn slightly during the fight!

 Chapter 605 - Chapter 605: Chapter 605. Wound Exposed

    Chapter 605: Chapter 605. Wound Exposed


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    The blood had soaked through the gauze and clothes on the wound. It was very obvious that it had appeared on her arm. It also fell into the eyes of everyone in the room. Only Zhuang Xian, who did not pay much attention, did not notice it.


    Her wound could no longer be hidden.


    This sudden turn of events broke the silence in the room. Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang¡¯s expressions changed, and they immediately walked over with worried eyes. Zhuang Hang was the first to ask, ¡°When did you get injured? How? Why haven¡¯t I heard you mention it before?¡±


    When Lin En asked, Zhuang Ming subconsciously looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm. He slowly frowned and looked straight at Zhuang Xian¡¯s face. Only then did he notice Zhuang Xian¡¯s injury?


    Facing the judgment and questions of her family, Zhuang Xian took a deep breath helplessly. Just as she was about to explain, MO Qian, who had been surrounding the crowd, suddenly spoke.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already called the doctor over. Let¡¯s return to the car first and let the doctor treat Zhuang Xian¡¯s wound! As for the questions in your hearts, you can ask them later. It¡¯s not suitable for you to stay here for long. I¡¯ll get someone to take you back.¡±


    When Zhuang Xian heard MO Qian¡¯s words, she subconsciously looked up at MO


    Qian, but she only saw his deep and emotionless eyes and gloomy expression.


    Was MO Qian angry? Zhuang Xian thought in confusion.


    Although the Zhuang family still had a lot of questions in their hearts that needed Zhuang Xian to answer, MO Qian¡¯s arrangement was the most reasonable. Outside their private room, there were already noisy footsteps!


    In the basement of the first floor of City H, MO Qian¡¯s specially made Maybach was already full of people.


    The doctor in a white coat deftly removed the blood-stained gauze on Zhuang Xian¡¯s left arm. With the help of the bright light in the car, he could see the bleeding condition of Zhuang Xian¡¯s wound. He gently exhaled and explained, ¡°It¡¯s just that the suture in the middle of the wound has been torn a little. It¡¯s not very serious! However, the wound did not heal very well. It was a little inflamed!


    Did you touch water when you were showering? The patient has to be more careful! When you return at night, you should take anti-inflammatory injections, rest more, and focus on a bland diet. This way, there should not be too much of a problem! I¡¯m going to treat your wound now. Please bear with it.¡±


    The doctor¡¯s last sentence was directed at Zhuang Xian.


    Zhuang Xian lowered her eyes and nodded silently to show that she understood.


    She knew that everyone in the car was looking at her and wanted her to explain herself, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Lin En!


    Lin En was very attentive and meticulous. She communicated with the doctor about all the things that Zhuang Xian needed to pay attention to during her recovery. Her expression was solemn and focused as if she would take a pen and paper from her bag to take notes the next second.


    Zhuang Xian, who was interrupted by her mother, could only shut her mouth again.


    MO Qian notified his assistant, who was still in the private room upstairs. After explaining everything, he turned around and saw Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression of wanting to say something but choking on her own words!


    MO Qian put down the phone in his hand, thought for a moment, and said softly, ¡°The police have confirmed that the female assassin just now is from Country R. Her target tonight is indeed me!¡±


    When everyone in the car heard this, their attention shifted to MO Qian. Zhuang Bai frowned slightly and asked, ¡°Why are these killers so well-informed? How did they know we would go to Paramount tonight? Since they were so eager to assassinate you, why did they only send one person? Moreover, that female assassin didn¡¯t make a move directly then. What does she want?¡±


    Zhuang Hang nodded in agreement when he heard the questions from his eldest brother. He then asked, ¡°That¡¯s right, MO Qian. These questions that my brother asked are worth thinking about. Why didn¡¯t she move when she approached you in the private room?


    If Xian¡¯er hadn¡¯t discovered it then and decisively ordered people to take her down, wouldn¡¯t she have escaped? What kind of scheme do you think she is using? Why can¡¯t I understand it?¡±

    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Hearing the doubts of the Zhuang brothers, MO Qian sighed and shook his head to indicate that he was not very clear. He opened his mouth and told the information obtained by the police.


    ¡°She stole the waiter¡¯s clothes and snuck into our private room. The police confirmed her identity through a tattoo on her hand! As for how she would assassinate me, it is still unclear. The police would only know if they continued to investigate!¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s last sentence was interrupted by Zhuang Xian.


    ¡°It¡¯s the plate of desserts she brought over!¡± Zhuang Xian said in a deep voice. MO Qian turned to look at her, and his brows slowly furrowed.


    As the doctor treated the wound on her left arm with medicine, Zhuang Xian unconsciously frowned. After the pain subsided a little, she explained, ¡°That plate of desserts was tampered with by her. She must have poisoned it!¡±


    Zhuang Ming was slightly stunned when he heard that. He subconsciously asked, ¡°How did you know something was wrong with that plate of snacks?¡±


    When they were in the private room, Zhuang Ming had already asked Zhuang Xian this question. However, Lin En was only focused on Zhuang Xian¡¯s injury, so he put it aside for a while.


    As for how Zhuang Xian could see through the female assassin¡¯s disguise, Zhuang Ming¡¯s heart was filled with doubts.


    After Zhuang Xian heard her father¡¯s question, a faint smile slowly appeared on her face. Due to the wound on her hand, her lips and tongue were a little pale, but it did not affect her beauty. She replied softly, ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t know yet, right? My sense of smell has always been very sensitive!


    When the plate of desserts was brought up, I smelled an unusual smell. It wasn¡¯t the smell of normal baking, so there must be a problem.


    I don¡¯t know if you guys noticed, but she called out mother¡¯s surname when she first entered the private room. The person who called to reserve a table at Paramount today was Eldest Brother!¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she looked up at Zhuang Hang and asked, ¡°Second Brother, you should have noticed it too, right?¡±


    Zhuang Hang thought about it for a moment and nodded. ¡°There is such a thing! Our family doesn¡¯t go to the first floor often. Their lobby manager might not even be able to recognize Mom, but that waiter could directly call out Mom¡¯s surname. This is indeed very strange!¡±


    As Zhuang Hang spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up as he looked at Zhuang Xian and continued, ¡°So, when you said you wanted her to go down and help us open that non-existent bottle of red wine, you were also lying to her, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian nodded lightly. The doctor had started to bandage her wound, and he had touched it again. The pain hit her directly, and she raised her eyebrows unnaturally.


    ¡°What red wine doesn¡¯t exist? What kind of riddles are you two talking about?¡± Zhuang Bai asked in confusion. Seeing Zhuang Xian enduring the pain, he frowned and said to the doctor in a deep voice, ¡°Doctor, please be gentler!¡±


    The doctor nodded but did not say anything. He only complained helplessly in his heart. The patient did not complain herself, but the men around the patient kept staring at him with vigilance and unease as if he was deliberately making the patient suffer.


    Hearing Zhuang Bai¡¯s question, everyone in the car was focused on Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Hang exhaled quietly as if Zhuang Xian was not the only one who was hurt. He was also in pain. ¡°Brother, you worked overseas for a while, so you don¡¯t know about these small things. Our family rarely goes to Paramount for a meal, so why would red wine be stored there? The reason why sister said that was to test that female assassin!¡±


    ¡°If she is a professional waitress in the private room on the first floor, she would know the customer¡¯s basic information. As a VIP customer this time, she should have sorted out this information when she entered the door to serve us. Perhaps she doesn¡¯t know, but she can directly indicate that she didn¡¯t pay attention and needs to check the information. These are all things that a waitress needs to do, but she didn¡¯t do it. Paramount¡¯s waiters couldn¡¯t possibly be so trashy and ignorant, right?


    She disguised herself well but was still lost in many details..¡±

 Chapter 607 - Chapter 607: Chapter 607. Willfulness Only Towards You

    Chapter 607: Chapter 607. Willfulness Only Towards You


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    After combining Zhuang Hang¡¯s analysis and explanation, Zhuang Xian pretended to speak and said this decisively.


    Seeing that the doctor had already bandaged the wound on her left arm, Zhuang Xian put on her blood-stained coat with Lin En¡¯s help. Her face looked a little pale, and she was a little tired.


    MO Qian did not miss any of Zhuang Xian¡¯s emotional changes. He looked at Zhuang Xian in silence, and the pain and helplessness in his heart seemed to overflow.


    Zhuang Xian put on her coat and looked at the people around her. After thinking for a moment, she said in a deep voice, ¡°The cooperation between MO, Ming En, and Doug Consortium is now a certainty. There will be many assassinations and attacks in the future. Today¡¯s situation is not the first and will not be the last! The police¡¯s protection for you is only temporary, so I suggest that when you go out in the future, you still have to take a lot of bodyguards!¡±


    As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at MO Qian as if she was making up her mind. She sighed softly and continued, ¡°The most special one is you, MO Qian!


    You are one of the leading partners of the ¡®Phoenix Cry Plan¡¯ and the first target of the enemy¡¯s assassination. Therefore, the people assigned to protect you must not be careless! It¡¯s not enough to have a few bodyguards by your side. The police won¡¯t be by your side all the time, so you need some special people to stay by your side to protect you! If you cooperate with them daily, I can help you arrange this matter.¡±


    Zhuang Xian analyzed the situation softly, but her eyes were fixed on MO Qian.


    MO Qian was also looking at her, but in his gentle and affectionate eyes, there was a lot of worry and complexity that only Zhuang Xian could understand!


    Zhuang Xian naturally understood what MO Qian was worried about, but today¡¯s matter had already developed. If she still wanted to hide this matter from her family, she had no choice but to lie.


    However, Zhuang Xian did not want to do that. She did not want to lie to her parents and brothers, so she could only choose to give up on Silente!


    After making this decision, Zhuang Xian was not as nervous and flustered as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was as if she had removed another layer of her complicated mask in front of these people who were the most important to her.


    After experiencing many psychological and emotional struggles, she was left with relief and clarity. She seemed no longer afraid of revealing her unknown complexity and ¡®filth¡¯! If one wanted to investigate the reason, it might be because she and the Zhuang family were becoming more intimate and tacit!


    Perhaps it was because MO Qian was also present today, so she always felt that no matter what she did today, MO Qian could cover for her.


    She seemed to have only displayed this kind of willfulness before MO Qian!


    After Zhuang Xian finished her analysis of the situation and said, the first few sentences, the tailor-made luxury Maybach suddenly fell into a strange silence.


    Zhuang Bai was probably the one who was the most shocked and confused by what had happened today. This was because he had spent the least time with Zhuang Xian and knew little about her. Therefore, he was curious and confused about his sister, who was like a big surprise package.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s unusually calm little face. After thinking about it, he could not help but ask, ¡°Sister, you¡­ls there something you¡¯re hiding from


    Zhuang Bai frowned as he spoke. After taking a deep breath, he asked, ¡°Even if you can explain clearly that you saw through the female assassin¡¯s disguise in the private room just now, what do you mean by what you said to MO Qian?


    You said you could help MO Qian arrange those people to protect him. You¡¯re just a freshman. Why do you have such a channel? Big Brother knows you¡¯re not a person who speaks without reason, so there must be something else we don¡¯t know about, right?


    I¡¯ve heard Mom mention it a few times before. She said you have martial arts, but I didn¡¯t care much then.. I only thought it was the perfect filter Mom had set for her precious daughter!¡±

 Chapter 608 - Chapter 608: Chapter 608. What Stand Are You On?

    Chapter 608: Chapter 608. What Stand Are You On?


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    When Lin En heard her eldest son¡¯s last sentence, she said,


    She looked at Zhuang Bai strangely and complained in her heart, ¡®When did she filter Zhuang Xian? Their Xian¡¯ er had always been a perfect person! Was there a need to turn on the filter herself? What a joke!¡¯


    Young Master Zhuang, who was still seriously asking questions, naturally did not know that his mother was speechless. He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, ¡°I thought you only knew some self-defense martial arts. I never thought you knew martial arts and were so powerful! This is not a level that ordinary people can reach. Xian¡¯er, you¡¯re not an ordinary person, right?


    Big Brother knows that your life has been rough in the past and that you have some skills that ordinary people don¡¯t have. I understand this is normal, but you¡¯re too mysterious and unique. This has far exceeded my expectations of you! I want to ask you a question now. I hope you can answer me honestly, okay?¡±


    Young Master Zhuang had always liked his younger sister, who came from nowhere. He felt that Zhuang Xian had a deep bond with his family.


    He couldn¡¯t explain this kind of bond himself. It was an extraordinary but natural relationship!


    Zhuang Xian had given him too much shock and confusion today, so he had no choice but to suppress these irrational emotions and use a serious attitude to ask Zhuang Xian about the reason for these things! He could not accept that a member of their family hid so many secrets.


    Naturally, Zhuang Bai did not want to torture Zhuang Xian. He felt that he had the right to know about this matter! He just wanted Zhuang Xian to understand his attitude toward this matter.


    Zhuang Xian naturally heard her brother¡¯s question and understood why Zhuang Bai asked this question. Like in his previous life, her brother had always been rational and warm.


    In her previous life, when Zhuang Xian had just been brought home by Lin En, Zhuang Hang was not the only one among the three brothers of the Zhuang family who had ¡®warned¡¯ Zhuang Xian to behave herself. Even the usually quiet and gentle Zhuang family¡¯s eldest brother had indirectly ¡®warned¡¯ Zhuang Xian when he had just returned from abroad. The general meaning was not much different from Zhuang Hang¡¯s. It was a kind reminder to keep the Zhuang family harmonious.


    In her previous life, Zhuang Xian had already experienced these seemingly strict, but in reality, they were concerned about her. She also understood what kind of attitude Zhuang Bai wanted from her.


    She sighed softly. Just as she was about to answer Zhuang Bai¡¯s question and explain everything, MO Qian, sitting silently at the side listening to everyone¡¯s conversation, spoke first, ¡°Brother Zhuang, if you have any questions, just ask! Zhuang Xian will be scared if you keep laying the foundation and accumulating power. I believe you know what kind of person she is. As long as you ask her sincerely, she won¡¯t hide anything! Because in her heart, your family might weigh more than herself!¡±


    As MO Qian said this, his beautiful phoenix eyes were fixed on Zhuang Bai. The complicated and determined expression in his eyes stunned Zhuang Bai momentarily. Only when he said the following few words Zhuang Bai suddenly returned to his senses.


    ¡°Also, even if she hid something from you, she should have difficulties! She is a very stubborn and determined person. As long as she set her mind on someone or something, she would risk her life to protect and complete it! She cares about you guys very much. There¡¯s no doubt about that.¡± Zhuang Bai heard MO Qian¡¯s words.


    Zhuang Bai looked at MO Qian, who was speaking up for Zhuang Xian. He did not know how to react. In any case, there was something wrong with everything!


    Zhuang Xian should be his sister, right? Why was MO Qian hurrying to explain


    when talking to his sister? What did this have to do with him? Also, when had he ever questioned his sister¡¯s feelings for her family? Didn¡¯t he want his sister to open her heart to the people at home?


    This MO Qian had a good plan.. He was shrewd! Wouldn¡¯t it make him look bad if he, MO Qian, explained it to him?

 Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: Chapter 609. They All Know

    Chapter 609: Chapter 609. They All Know


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    As Young Master Zhuang¡¯s imagination ran wild, he finally understood why his second brother, Zhuang Hang, was so hostile towards MO Qian. Wasn¡¯t this the same as how women looked at green tea bitches? They also saw MO Qian as scheming and far-reaching!


    Zhuang Bails gaze toward MO Qian gradually turned dark and gloomy. There was even a hint of fire in his eyes. Zhuang Xian was the one who felt it the most.


    She didn¡¯t quite understand the sudden change in her brother¡¯s mood. However, when she saw the somewhat hostile atmosphere, she subconsciously had a bad feeling. She opened her mouth and gently interrupted, ¡°Brother, ask away! I can explain everything you want to know. I¡¯ll explain it to you after you ask. ¡±


    When Zhuang Bai heard his precious sister¡¯s words, he looked away from MO Qian¡¯s face. He looked around at the others around him. After receiving similar expectations from his father and second brother, he turned to Lin En, sitting beside Zhuang Xian.


    Lin En sighed softly. She knew this matter would be complicated but did not stop Zhuang Bai. She knew that some things could not be done carelessly. The more things needed to be clarified, the more she could not let Zhuang Xian hide them.


    After gaining everyone¡¯s support, Zhuang Bai took a deep breath. He looked up at Zhuang Xian and said bluntly, ¡°On the day that terrorists attacked the MO Corporation building, the female special forces captain saved MO Qian¡¯s life in the rain of bullets and our lives. Was it you? Oh no! Perhaps this is not accurate. You¡¯re a member of the mysterious organization the officials are talking about. You are not only one of them but also the mastermind who led them to save all of us, right?¡±


    Zhuang Xian did not expect Zhuang Bai to ask such a question. Her expression suddenly froze. Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at her brother in a daze.


    She thought that Zhuang Bai would at most ask her why she was so skilled and why she could help MO Qian do those things. She did not expect her brother to expose her so directly. She had always thought she had hidden it well and that her family did not notice.


    ¡°The wound on your left arm was caused by a bullet on the battlefield when you resisted those terrorists that day!¡±


    Zhuang Bai looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s stunned face and said in a deep voice.


    Zhuang Hang added the last part of the sentence. Zhuang Hang said, ¡°Yesterday when we came to pick you up from the Saint Capital, you were acting strange. Your little face was so lean that it didn¡¯t look like a human, but you still insisted that you were tired! Based on your smacking expression, there¡¯s something wrong with you! We¡¯re not doctors, but we do know some basic common sense.


    Are you still stammering and refusing to say it? Do you think we¡¯re all stupid? Do you know what it means to say that ¡®there are no walls in the world that are airtight?¡¯ Do you know that your acting skills in real life are pretty bad? I don¡¯t think your lying skills are half as good as Third Brother¡¯s!¡±


    Zhuang Hang pretended to judge his sister. His words were not very polite. As he spoke, he seemed to be angry. He raised his hand and gently pinched Zhuang Xian¡¯s little face. Feeling the soft and warm touch on his hand, the frustration in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.


    Zhuang Xian looked at her family members in the car while waiting for Zhuang Hang¡¯s hand to move away from her face. She lowered her beautiful face and nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, she laughed out loud. She replied softly, ¡°Big brother, your guess is right. It¡¯s not wrong at all! The person who saved you that day was me; a bullet caused the wound on my hand! Big Brother, Second Brother, you¡¯re right.¡±


    Zhuang Xian readily admitted to all this. Her face was slightly lowered, and her eyes were frighteningly red. She tilted her head and smiled at MO Qian. After thinking momentarily, she thanked him, ¡°Thank you for speaking up for me, but the Zhuang family is not a smart person who can be easily fooled. They will know about these things sooner or later. I don¡¯t want to lie to them because if a lie wants to continue, it needs endless lies to support it.. I have never considered deceiving them, so I can¡¯t hide it!¡±

    Chapter 610: Chapter 610. Code Name Silente


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°Of course, I no longer want to hide it from them! Because this seems to be causing trouble for all of us. This is very unnecessary.¡±


    The pale girl said this with a smile, but her beautiful eyes were moist and red with determination.


    She sniffed at her sore nose and smiled as she looked around at her relatives. She explained gently, ¡°Even if you feel that you can¡¯t understand or are afraid after I tell you the truth today, I can accept it. After all, I¡¯m indeed not a very normal person..¡±


    After hearing Zhuang Xian¡¯s words, MO Qian didn¡¯t know how the Zhuang family felt. He only knew that his heart ached, and he felt very uncomfortable.


    It turned out that, in Zhuang Xian¡¯s understanding, her mastery and abilities were just a condition to prove that she was not very normal. When she said the last sentence, MO Qian felt a pain in his heart. He frowned slightly, his face full of worry and sadness.


    ¡°I¡¯m under the National Security Department of Country Z. I¡¯m a special agent ranked first on the list of assassins of the Underworld Gate. I¡¯m also a professional assassin, and my code name is Silente! A few days ago, the terrorist attack on the MO Corporation building was a special joint protection mission that I took on. The targets we needed to protect that day were MO Qian and Fang Dong.


    Of course, as a high-ranking government official, Fang Dong will naturally have people to protect him. So, I understand the meaning of that mission. It is to protect MO Qian and everyone at the scene, including Dad and my brothers! Although the Underworld Gate is an unknown mysterious organization, we don¡¯t have the tradition of watching people die. This is entirely different from the former police chief, Xiao Ting.¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she had a smile on her face. However, if someone observed, they would notice the worry and slight panic in her eyes. She was not wholly confident. She was still worried that her family was afraid of her and did not understand her.


    MO Qian took in Zhuang Xian¡¯s hidden emotions and thoughts. The corners of his lips twitched slightly as if he wanted to defend Zhuang Xian, but in the end, he did not say anything because he knew that this was not something that an ¡®outsider¡¯ like him could solve!


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s concern for the Zhuang family could not be ignored. MO Qian was not a candidate who could take over.


    In this wonderful world, MO Qian had a lot of wealth and power, but at the


    same time, there were many things he never held. For example, some precious emotions, such as the kinship between parents, the brotherhood between brothers and sisters, and the true love between men and women!


    What MO Qian did not have was not only these emotions but also something that everyone had, also something that people would subconsciously forget. He did not have, and that was the health of his body.


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s honesty with her family moved MO Qian. As he thought about these trivial things, his entire mood sank slightly. However, the next second, he suddenly felt that the Zhuang family was a magical entity!


    As Zhuang Xian finished her sentence, Lin En took action and gently held her precious daughter¡¯s shoulder. Her expression was calm, but her eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity as she asked, ¡°Xian¡¯er! Tell me, is what you said true? Are you an agent? Are you the kind of omnipotent secret agent killer in the movies? Oh my god, baby!


    You¡­¡±


    Zhuang Xian listened to Lin En¡¯s words with a serious expression. She saw that her mother¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement at first, but now she was stunned. She asked nervously, ¡°What did I do, Mom? If you don¡¯t like it, I can leave the Underworld Gate! Ming Tu is considered half a senior brother of mine. If I talk to him properly, he should understand me! Don¡¯t be angry, okay?


    I¡¯m what? I¡¯ll listen to you!¡±


    The girl¡¯s last sentence was interrupted by Lin En.


    Lin En held Zhuang Xian¡¯s thin shoulders and gently interrupted her, ¡°You¡¯re simply too awesome! Do you know when I was young, my dream was to be an omnipotent agent? I think you¡¯re amazing, you know?¡±

    Under the Maybach¡¯s low-key and warm yellow lights, MO Qian had seen the anxiety on Zhuang Xian¡¯s face that had suddenly stiffened and the fear and trepidation. He retracted his gaze from Zhuang Xian and slowly turned to look at Lin En on the other side!


    MO Qian wasn¡¯t the only one who felt the situation was strange and unexpected. Even Zhuang Xian herself was stunned after hearing Lin En¡¯s words.


    Zhuang Xian did not expect Lin En to have such a reaction when she found out that she was Silentr.


    Or rather, it was just a reaction!


    Lin En and the Zhuang family did not show the fear, incomprehension, or rejection she had imagined. They only looked at Lin En in silence after she said those words excitedly.


    Zhuang Ming opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to stop Lin En. She was telling Zhuang Xian about her embarrassing childhood, but when he saw Lin En¡¯s proud expression, Zhuang Ming silently swallowed back the words he wanted to say to stop Lin En!


    He thought, ¡®Anyway, the people in this car are not outsiders. If Lin En wants to say it, then say it. It¡¯s just some old sesame seeds and rotten grains. No one will laugh at Lin En.¡¯


    How should he put it? Mr. Zhuang Ming¡¯s perfect filter for his wife was indeed relatively high!


    As for Zhuang Xian¡¯s solemn expression, Zhuang Ming was not surprised when she said she wanted to tell them the truth. Perhaps it was because Zhuang Xian had given them many surprises before, so he only felt he had a sudden realization and felt that his precious daughter had an unfathomable feeling of excellence!


    Other than that, he seemed to have no other thoughts. He only looked at Zhuang Xian helplessly as if he had something to say.


    All of Zhuang Xian¡¯s previous worries were in vain. Not only did Lin En and Zhuang Ming not think much of it, but even the Zhuang brothers, who had been by her side and were not giving in to her, seemed to have suddenly stopped and retreated!


    They retracted their gaze from Lin En¡¯s face. When they turned back to look at Zhuang Xian, they exhaled in unison.


    Zhuang Hang¡¯s thoughts were not much different from Zhuang Ming¡¯s. He was surprised by Zhuang Xian¡¯s identity and was also a little worried about the danger and harm that this identity would bring Zhuang Xian. His eyes that had been looking at Zhuang Xian were slowly filled with thousands of words.


    At the same time, he also noticed something very coincidental. He turned to look at MO Qian, who had been staring at his sister!


    Perhaps it was because Zhuang Bai did not know much about Zhuang Xian, so after Zhuang Xian confessed to them, this incident had the most significant impact on him!


    Previously, Zhuang Bai did not know that his younger sister had so many secret abilities. He was shocked, but at the same time, he was also shocked by the reactions of his family members. It seemed that everyone was only slightly surprised, and then they let it go.


    Young Master Zhuang glanced at his family members and then looked at Zhuang Xian thoughtfully. He asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°So, when did you join this organization? Was its job content and nature as dangerous as that day? Sister, you¡¯re only 17 years old now. How did you get involved in such an organization? Did they lie to you?


    ¡°I¡­¡± As Zhuang Bai spoke, he suddenly frowned and paused. He seemed to have many questions to ask Zhuang Xian, but simultaneously, it was as if something had choked his tongue. He also knew that Zhuang Xian¡¯s family background was not that good in the past. If he were to dig into this hidden and dark past now, it would be equivalent to digging open the wound in his sister¡¯s heart!


    Therefore, he hesitated when he continued to dig deeper into the past.


    They cared about the truth, not to hurt Zhuang Xian. On the contrary, they loved Zhuang Xian, so they wanted to know more about Zhuang Xian¡¯s past.


    However, when Zhuang Bai realized that this kind of care and concern in the name of love might hurt Zhuang Xian, he had no choice but to stop and consider if it was worth it!

 Chapter 612 - Chapter 612: Chapter 612. The Person Who Backed Her Up

    Chapter 612: Chapter 612. The Person Who Backed Her Up


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Buddha said that love was like a knife biting honey. It was hazardous to take a step forward, but giving up the excellent taste wasn¡¯t easy! Scholars often used this to describe love in this world, but it made sense here.


    Everyone in the world was selfish and greedy, so only in front of the people they cared about would they show such a dilemma and be in a difficult position. This concern could be very diverse and complicated, including kinship and brotherhood.


    Zhuang Bai was indeed a very rational person, but at the same time, he had a romantic and gentle side. His subconscious defense of Zhuang Xian was enough to prove this point.


    After Zhuang Bai¡¯s sudden silence, the rest of them fell silent. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little gloomy for some reason. It was not that Zhuang Xian did not hear Zhuang Bails question, nor did she not understand what he meant. She was thinking about how to explain this matter.


    Perhaps it was because Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression was so conflicted that MO Qian could no longer endure it. He thought briefly and said bluntly, ¡°It seems these things are a long story!¡±


    As he spoke, he suddenly sighed and continued smiling, ¡°Anyway, Zhuang Xian is right under your noses. She can¡¯t escape no matter what! Something that can make her so conflicted and troubled must not be something that can be explained. Therefore, I suggest we give her more time to prepare and let her think about explaining these things to us!


    She¡¯s been working hard today. Moreover, because she protected us just now, her wound tore again. The doctor also said she needed to rest well and get IV drips. So, can we let her off for the time being because of her honesty and sincerity? Uncle Zhuang, Auntie Lin, what do you think?¡±


    When MO Qian said these words, Zhuang Xian kept looking at him from the corner of her eyes. Zhuang Xian¡¯s expression did not change, but her tense nerves were utterly relaxed. It was as if she had someone to rely on and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    MO Qian, who was very ¡®understanding¡¯ a moment ago, naturally did not know what Zhuang Xian was thinking. His eyes looked at Zhuang Ming and Lin En expectantly as if they could not understand and forgive Zhuang Xian this time; he would continue to attack. He would try to persuade them again with his exquisite eloquence and meticulous logic!


    MO Qian did this naturally because he had already received a distress signal from Zhuang Xian earlier. Zhuang Xian had many secrets, and some secrets could only remain secrets forever. Other than herself, she could not let anyone else know, including the Zhuang family and himself.


    Perhaps MO Qian did not realize he had developed a blind trust in Zhuang Xian. Even though he was very curious about Zhuang Xian¡¯s past, if Zhuang Xian was unwilling to say it or felt that it was difficult, he did not want to force her.


    Even if MO Qian did not bother to explain and pave the way for Zhuang Xian, the Zhuang family would not force Zhuang Xian to do something she felt awkward and conflicted about.


    Lin En looked at MO Qian deeply. Some thoughts were going around in her heart, but she didn¡¯t say it to MO Qian. There were some things that she didn¡¯t have the time to say. She quietly sighed and nodded at MO Qian and Zhuang Xian. She said gently, ¡°What you said is very right. Right now, Xian¡¯er¡¯s health is the most important! It¡¯s getting late today. We want to take Xian ¡®er back. When her condition is better, Auntie will personally cook for her. You can come over for dinner then!¡±


    Lin En said gently, her face still warm and gentle, as if she was not affected by today¡¯s events.


    No matter what, this scene and atmosphere were unsuitable for such a conversation. Zhuang Ming also knew MO Qian¡¯s suggestion was the best way to resolve this awkward situation. He retracted his gaze from MO Qian and nodded slightly. ¡°That¡¯s the only way! Then I¡¯ll leave the matter upstairs to you to handle..¡±

    Chapter 613: Chapter 613. 1 1 m Angry at Myself


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°When it¡¯s time to pressure the police, don¡¯t be polite with them! You helped them solve such a huge matter and endured much danger and pressure. It¡¯s only right for them to protect you. As Xian¡¯er had said, when you are out on the road, you must pay more attention to your safety. Remember not to have too many people around you!¡±


    Zhuang Ming said earnestly. His slightly furrowed brows were also worried for MO Qian¡¯s safety. Ming En was also hiding under the protection of the MO


    Corporation, so he could avoid becoming the first target of those assassins.


    MO Qian naturally could not deny Zhuang Ming¡¯s genuine concern. There was a very obscure expression hidden in his beautiful eyes. He nodded his head in agreement.


    At this point, Zhuang Xian¡¯s identity as an Underworld Gate agent was considered to have passed the initial stage in front of the Zhuang family. It was not as tricky as Zhuang Xian had imagined being honest about this matter because the Zhuang family was her family, and everyone loved her very much!


    Because of love, there was such tolerance and understanding. No one in the car would force Zhuang Xian to do something she did not like.


    Lin En was still looking at her worriedly. She kept muttering that she would arrange for a doctor to come over and give Zhuang Xian an IV drip when they got home! By the time Zhuang Xian returned to the back seat of their luxury car, it was 10 minutes later.


    Zhuang Xian nodded absent-mindedly, but her gaze fell on MO Qian, who was not far away from the car, as well as her big brother and second brother. Their backs were facing Zhuang Xian, so Zhuang Xian could not read their lips and naturally did not know what they were talking about.


    After failing to get any information, Zhuang Xian slowly retracted her gaze and closed her eyes to nap. She was indeed a little tired today. She felt a little weak!


    However, when she thought about how she could still meet up with Underworld Butcher later, the sleepiness in Zhuang Xian¡¯s mind slowly dissipated.


    She sighed quietly and thought about what had happened.


    At this time, MO Qian, who was blocked outside the car by the Zhuang brothers, was looking at Zhuang Hang, who had initiated the trial, with an unusually helpless expression. After thinking briefly, he replied softly, ¡°You¡¯re right. I Imew that the person who saved us that day was Zhuang Xian! When she returned to the Blue Eagle base with injuries, I went to find a doctor to treat her wounds. Her injuries were quite severe at that time. When I went to her dormitory, she was still living in the same dormitory with a group of boys! I helped her change her environment to recuperate, and then there was the matter of you guys picking her up!


    Her injuries haven¡¯t recovered very well. This should be related to her wanting to hide this from you. So before she¡¯s willing to share her past with us, I suggest that nobody force her! She¡¯s not someone who doesn¡¯t know her limits, but sometimes she¡¯s very stubborn and likes to go to a dead end.


    Simply put, Zhuang Xian would instead be injured and in pain than let your Zhuang family suffer the slightest risk and hardship! I feel that this is quite commendable.¡±


    MO Qian said a lot of things in a low voice. When the last sentence fell, he raised his head slightly and looked at Zhuang Hang and Zhuang Bai before him.


    After hearing MO Qian¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai¡¯s expression changed repeatedly. He turned his head and exchanged glances with Zhuang Hang. After a long while, he asked softly, ¡°How did you know that person was her? Did she tell you herself?¡±


    On the day of the attack, he, Zhuang Hang, and his father interacted with


    Zhuang Xian, especially himself. Could it be that the relationship between MO Qian and Xian¡¯er was so good that they could exchange secrets? Was MO Qian that fast?


    He was almost face-to-face with Zhuang Xian, who had pushed MO Qian back into the hall. At that time, the distance between him and Zhuang Xian should not have been more than two meters! He rushed out of the entrance on the first floor to accompany MO Ye back to the battlefield to save MO Qian.


    However, even at such a close distance, he did not recognize Zhuang Xian. It was as if he was blind. His sister was standing right in front of him, but he did not recognize her at all. Instead, MO Qian, an outsider, recognized Zhuang Xian.


    Thinking about it this way, Zhuang Bai was a little angry and speechless. However, he was not angry with anyone else but himself..

    Just as Zhuang Bai was sulking, MO Qian looked up at him.


    MO Qian still had a faint smile, but he began to reply softly, ¡°Do you think she¡¯s the kind of person who would honestly report her schedule to others?¡±


    He did not want to get an answer from Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang. When MO Qian asked that question, the smile in his eyes darkened. He answered his question and continued, ¡°Zhuang Xian has a very independent and free personality. She wouldn¡¯t tell me what she was thinking. It was extraordinary! That day, she squatted down in front of me with a gun in her hand. Her entire body was covered so that only her eyes could be seen, but I could tell at a glance that she was Zhuang Xian!


    At that time, she seemed to know that I recognized her. She was slightly stunned, but the situation was urgent, so we had a tacit understanding not to expose each other, nor did we explain too much! You all know what happened after that.¡±


    As MO Qian spoke, his expression was relaxed and happy because he had also confirmed a piece of information. Even under such an emergency and special situation, he was the only one who recognized Zhuang Xian. Zhuang Bai, Zhuang Hang, and even Zhuang Ming did not realize this.


    Seeing Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang looking at his heavy luck, MO Qian was slightly amused. He raised his hand and gestured to the assistant behind him to come over and push him into the car. He smiled at the Zhuang brothers and left after saying something softly.


    ¡°Three days later, we will meet Doug Consortium for the first time. I will inform you about the specific time and place. See you tomorrow then.¡±


    Upon hearing MO Qian¡¯s words, Zhuang Bai and Zhuang Hang stared at his back. After a long while, after MO Qian got into the car and left, they slowly retracted their gazes.


    Zhuang Hang looked at his big brother and sighed helplessly. With frustration, he asked, ¡°What did MO Qian mean by that look just now? Is he bragging that he recognized our sister and we didn¡¯t? Why is this person so annoying? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he¡¯s our Ming En¡¯s partner, I wanted to beat him up!¡±


    As Zhuang Hang spoke, he followed Zhuang Bai¡¯s footsteps and continued complaining, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I feel that MO Qian was such an annoying guy before?¡±


    Zhuang Bai walked in front and said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this nonsense. We have to take our sister back quickly. The doctor at home is already waiting. If this doesn¡¯t work, we must send our sister to the hospital! Oh, right! You said that MO Qian is Ming En¡¯s partner. This statement is not very accurate. To be precise, in the normal operation of this project, MO Qian is Ming En¡¯s immediate superior. He is the person who controls the life and death of our family!¡±


    After being awakened by Zhuang Bai¡¯s words, Zhuang Hang, who felt helpless and mentally exhausted for the rest of his life, ¡®


    Seeing that his two sons had chatted with MO Qian for so long before returning, Lin En subconsciously asked, ¡°Why have the three of you been standing for so long? What are you talking about? What couldn¡¯t he have said clearly in the car just now?¡±


    After Zhuang Bai heard this, he paused momentarily with his seat belt. He replied gently, ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything. It¡¯s just some work matters! The most important thing is to send our sister back as soon as possible.¡±


    As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who was resting with her eyes closed. He gestured to the driver to start the car.


    By the time the driver drove Zhuang Xian and the rest back to the Zhuang family¡¯s house from Paramount, it was already past nine o¡¯clock in the evening. With such a rush, Zhuang Xian did not seem to be able to make time to meet


    Ming Tu. She could only listen to Lin En and her family¡¯s wishes and stay in her room obediently. She injected the two large bottles of anti-inflammatory medicine on her bed into her body through her vein.


    Almost simultaneously, she had to accept her mother¡¯s and Auntie Jiang¡¯s enthusiastic feeding.. After being forced to drink a few soup bowls, Zhuang Xian waved her hand helplessly, indicating that she was full and did not need her mother to feed her so enthusiastically!

 Chapter 615 - Chapter 615: Chapter 615. Call, Incision

    Chapter 615: Chapter 615. Call, Incision


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Zhuang Xian, who had no way to escape at the moment, could only lie on the bed and rest obediently. No matter what reason or excuse she found, she could not ask Lin En to leave her room!


    Finally, after her mother left the room, Zhuang Xian turned her head to look at the clock on the bedside table. She had already accepted her fate. She cannot attend Ming Tu¡¯s appointment on time today.


    At 10:11 pm, Ming Tu did not see the person he was waiting for in the Underworld Gate. Instead, he received an unfamiliar call.


    Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone, Ming Tu frowned slightly. The number in his hand was only used by the high-level assassins and special agents in their sect. According to the logical explanation, the person who could call this number could not be an unfamiliar number.


    However, his eyes lit up when Underworld Butcher thought about Silente, who didn¡¯t show up on time tonight. He pressed the answer button but didn¡¯t speak into the microphone!


    ¡°May I ask if you are Master Yang, who sells sea fish at the mouth of Cang River? Is your fish fresh today?¡±


    Zhuang Xian¡¯s voice came from the speaker. Ming Tu naturally recognized this voice but still had to respond to some shared code words. The corners of his mouth curled up a little as he replied into the phone, ¡°We don¡¯t have Master Yang here, but we always sell sea fish, and they are fresh. How much do you want?¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you Cang River Mouth? What kind of logic was this?¡± Zhuang Xian chuckled and asked back.


    Ming Tu pinched his nose helplessly. When he opened his mouth, he scolded with a gentle smile, ¡°I guessed that only you would use your number to call the public phone of the sect! What do you mean by selling sea fish? That was a few months ago. Although you haven¡¯t been inside the door all this time, you should know about these things, right? You little bastard, you did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you?


    After 10 p.m., the villa area was still brightly lit. Zhuang Xian held her phone in her right hand. Her thin, slender figure stood in front of the large French window in her room. She used the remote control to pull open half of the curtains. She looked up at herself through the glass window.


    She naturally heard Ming Tu¡¯s mocking laughter. A relaxed smile appeared on her indifferent face as she replied, ¡°What do you mean on purpose? I¡¯m doing this to meet you, right? Why are you so anxious to meet me today? Did something happen in the sect again? The situation this afternoon was too special. When we were eating at Paramount, we encountered a disguised assassin. Fortunately, she had underestimated the enemy at that time. Her brain was so stupid that I subdued her in a few moves¡­¡±


    Before Zhuang Xian could finish her report, Ming Tu¡¯s slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. He interrupted Zhuang Xian¡¯s sentence, ¡°So when MO Qian was attacked at Paramount today, you were also there? Did you take care of that assassin? Did you get any information?¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows slightly and said faintly, ¡°It seems that the information channels in the sect are not very good! This assassination incident has already passed for several hours, and you still don¡¯t know the real situation. This is a disgrace to the face of the Underworld Gate.¡±


    Although Zhuang Xian kept complaining, she did not stop thinking. After thinking for a while, she asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get any first-hand information? Didn¡¯t the information channels between the sect and the police work together? What was Tian Zhen thinking? He didn¡¯t think the police force could resist these assassins, right? He won¡¯t exchange any information with you. Isn¡¯t he gambling with MO Qian¡¯s life?


    Is he crazy?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she seemed to notice she was a little agitated. She tried her best to calm down. When she spoke again, she was much calmer. She continued to answer Ming Tu¡¯s question, ¡°That female assassin died of poison after the assassination failed! So, strictly speaking, I didn¡¯t solve it myself. She didn¡¯t reveal any other information, so I don¡¯t know much.¡±


    Ming Tu knew what Zhuang Xian was worried about, but after thinking about it a little more, he realized something was not quite right..

 Chapter 616 - Chapter 616: Chapter 616. Orders From The Headquarters

    Chapter 616: Chapter 616. Orders From The Headquarters


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Silente seemed to be very concerned about MO Qian¡¯s safety this time. The reason why she accepted the S+ mission to destroy the Phoenix Slayer Plan was also because of MO Qian. These confidential things were added by Zhang Tao when he reported the completion of the mission with Silente after he woke up!


    Zhang Tao said that if he hadn¡¯t mentioned that MO Qian was there, Silente might not have agreed so readily.


    Ming Tu held the phone in his hand and thought silently. However, his other hand was not idle while thinking about these things. He closed the doors and windows of the entire office to prevent anyone from suddenly barging in.


    Of course, Zhuang Xian did not know what Underworld Butcher was thinking and what he was doing. She only wanted to reason with the government officials in City H!


    The relaxed expression on her face that she had been chatting and laughing with Ming Tu had disappeared, leaving behind only an indifferent and exquisite beauty.


    ¡°The information channels of the police and the Underworld Gate have never been interlinked. It¡¯s normal for Tian Zhen to be wary of us. I don¡¯t think I need to say anything more. With your intelligence, you should have already analyzed the context and reasons for these things!¡±


    Ming Tu answered Zhuang Xian¡¯s questions and anger. He pinched the phone and thought for a moment before speaking bluntly, ¡°You can¡¯t come out today, can you? Is your current environment safe?¡±


    Zhuang Xian seemed to have guessed what Ming Tu meant. She frowned in surprise and replied in a deep voice, ¡°I definitely can¡¯t do it tonight, but I can come to the door to look for you tomorrow morning! However, I¡¯m still a little curious. What kind of thing can make you, the sect master, so excited? Why did you summon me in such a hurry?¡±


    As Zhuang Xian spoke, she did not forget to turn around and look at the room door she had locked from the inside. She even pinched the phone that she had specially made and modified!


    The number and location displayed on this phone were random and not fixed. It was a meaningless garbled code. This was because this anti-tracking and anti-detection skill was necessary for every agent and assassin in the Underworld Gate! If someone wanted to find Silente through this line, Zhuang Xian could only curse them for being stupid.


    After confirming these details, Zhuang Xian slowly said, ¡°The environment around me is very safe now. If you have anything to say, say it!¡± Ming Tu knew that Silente was brilliant, so when he perceived Silente¡¯s ¡®understanding,¡¯ he was slightly relieved. After pursing his lips, Ming Tu sincerely said, ¡°Although it¡¯s a little against the sect¡¯s rules to issue a mission over the phone, this is an urgent matter. I can¡¯t care much about this now.


    Silente, captain of the Underworld Gate, listen up!¡± Zhuang Xian heard what Ming Tu said over the phone.


    She put down her slightly raised eyebrows and pursed her lips. Suddenly, a strange feeling rose in her heart. She replied in a deep voice, ¡®Yes, Sect Master.¡±


    ¡°The higher-up department of the Underworld Gate, the National Security Department of Country Z, is now issuing the following 5S-level top-secret mission to Silente, the high-level agent of the Underworld Gate! To ensure the smooth progress of the joint investment plan between City H and Doug Financial Group, which will be referred to as the Phoenix Cry Plan, Silente and her special operation team will be given a top-notch protection mission. The target is the only heir of MO Financial Group-Mo Qian! The headquarters had strictly ordered that the group survive if they were alive!¡±


    Ming Tu¡¯s unusually solemn voice traveled directly into Zhuang Xian¡¯s ears from the phone¡¯s speaker. When Zhuang Xian heard Ming Tu mention the Phoenix Cry Plan, some of the doubts in her heart had already gradually dissipated !


    She looked up at herself through the glass window. Her slightly furrowed brows were already filled with frustration and unease. She listened to Ming Tu¡¯s solemn voice in silence, and the expression in her eyes kept changing!


    Other than these minor uneasiness and irritability, Zhuang Xian was more surprised. She could not quite understand the intention of the headquarters¡¯ transfer order..

 Chapter 617 - Chapter 617: Chapter 617. Deal

    Chapter 617: Chapter 617. Deal


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    ¡°Why must the headquarters choose me? Was there no one else in the door? If I remember correctly, I should be in a semi-temporary position in the sect lately! Half a year ago, when I completed my mission and came out of the sect, do you still remember what you promised me?¡±


    When Ming Tu gave the order, Zhuang Xian spoke directly to Ming Tu on the phone. Her tone was not polite, and she was even a little angry and speechless!


    Zhuang Xian clenched her fingers that were holding onto her phone tightly. She let out a light breath as if she wanted to use this to ease her anger. The sudden mission from the headquarters and the Underworld Gate would disrupt many of her plans.


    The Phoenix Cry Plan was not a short-term project. On the contrary, it would take a long time to complete. Zhuang Xian did not think she had much time to waste on it. During her revenge, she did not leave any time for such a thing.


    Hence, Zhuang Xian, whose plan had been disrupted, was extremely unhappy. After questioning Ming Tu, she silently listened to his explanation!


    As if he had already predicted Zhuang Xian¡¯s uneasiness and depression, Ming Tu softened his attitude and tone before explaining gently, ¡°Actually, Silente, your question has puzzled me for the entire afternoon! Of course, I remember what I promised you. I also understand your current situation. You don¡¯t want to accept such a challenging and time-consuming mission! However, the headquarters has given strict orders that this mission can only be delivered to Silente!


    I don¡¯t have the strength to do so. I can¡¯t change the thoughts of the leaders at the headquarters, nor can I change these rules in the sect. Therefore, I can only come over to persuade you to accept this mission first! I understand you took the task a few days ago because MO Qian and the Zhuang family were there. Then this time, on account of MO Qian, help us! Alright? Just take it that I¡¯m begging you this time, okay?¡±


    Hearing Ming Tu¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian¡¯s helplessness seemed to overflow. She fell silent, still thinking about this matter.


    Ming Tu saw that Zhuang Xian did not speak and thought she still had concerns. He opened his mouth to persuade her, ¡°Senior Brother knows that you still have injuries on your body that have not recovered, so he specially went to the Saint Valley Medicine to help you get medicine to help your wounds recover quickly. It should be here in a few days. The other problem is as long as you accept this mission, I¡¯ll agree to your request. How about it? Isn¡¯t Senior


    Brother generous enough?¡±


    ¡°Saint Valley Medicine? Since when did you have such a channel in your hands? You can contact Saint Valley Medicine?¡± After hearing Ming Tu¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian frowned and asked in surprise.


    After a few seconds, she paused, ¡°Don¡¯t tempt me with my previous request! Even if I don¡¯t accept this mission now, you have to keep your promise to the members of the Underworld Gate team under me during my service in the Underworld Gate. You have to give them all to me when the service ends!¡±


    Ming Tu knew that Zhuang Xian was not someone who could be easily fooled, so he did not want to use these reasons to convince Zhuang Xian. He smiled helplessly and replied gently, ¡°I remember all these things. You don¡¯t always have to worry that I¡¯ll forget. I won¡¯t lie to fool you. I¡¯m afraid that Master will teach me a lesson!


    I¡¯m not trying to tempt you. This is just a deal of equal value! Silente, think about it carefully. There are a few members of the Underworld Gate team who have half a year of service contracts. If you had the patience and time to wait so long, you wouldn¡¯t have asked Master to transfer them out of the Underworld


    Gate!¡±


    Zhuang Xian raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this as if she did not expect the old man to move so quickly. Just a few days ago, when their military training was about to end, Zhuang Xian had asked Li Zhen for a ¡®small errand.¡¯


    Yes, it was! The ¡®small matter¡¯ that Zhuang Xian had asked Li Zhen to do was


    precisely what Ming Tu had just said..

    Zhuang Xian wanted to take her combat team in the Underworld Gate away from the control of the Underworld Gate and use them for her use! This was something Zhuang Xian had expressed to Ming Tu long ago. It was not something shameful.


    Thinking about these miscellaneous things, Zhuang Xian slowly returned to her senses. It turned out that Ming Tu had put in much effort to get her to accept this mission today!


    At least, the two points mentioned by Underworld Butcher were what Zhuang Xian wanted to do. The sect master of the Underworld Sect was not simple. He fought so many rounds with Zhuang Xian in a roundabout manner over the phone.


    Listening to Ming Tu¡¯s endless persuasion and convincing, Zhuang Xian sighed helplessly. She had a decisive idea in her heart! She thought about the assassination attempt that MO Qian had encountered in Paramount today and the words she had said to MO Qian in the private room.


    A malicious smile appeared on her lips as she said lazily, ¡°Old fox! Did you plan this long ago? Be careful; I¡¯ll go to the old man and sue you for scheming against me! Let¡¯s see if he¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡±


    When Ming Tu heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s lazy tone, he guessed that today¡¯s matter would be successful. He laughed loudly and said gently to Zhuang Xian, ¡°Let¡¯s be kind, my good junior sister! The last time you returned from the door with an injury, Master ignored me for a few days. Please be kind and let me off this time! After completing the mission, I promise I won¡¯t let you suffer a loss!


    When the time comes, you can say anything you want.¡±


    Zhuang Xian snorted coldly at the phone and did not reply to Ming Tu. After thinking for a while, she continued, ¡°Stop talking nonsense. You haven¡¯t answered my question yet.¡±


    Ming Tu¡¯s small face twitched, and he subconsciously asked, ¡°What?¡±


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this roll of eyes couldn¡¯t be transmitted over the phone, Zhuang Xian wanted to roll her eyes at Ming Tu a few times. She repeated speechlessly, ¡°How did you get involved with Saint Valley Medicine?¡±


    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re asking about that? Saint Valley Medicine is holding something in City H. It¡¯s a high-level seminar for the pharmaceutical industry. Don¡¯t you know about this? Oh, right! You¡¯ve been in Blue Eagle Base for the past half a month. Normally, you don¡¯t know about this news!¡± Ming Tu said gently.


    Zhuang Xian was stunned when she heard that. She frowned. ¡°When did this happen? Is it Saint Valley Medicine? Old Master Yan is here too?¡±


    Ming Tu was surprised that Zhuang Xian knew the Valley Master of Saint Valley Medicine was Mister Yan Zhou. He replied, ¡°You know Old Master Yan too? You have a wide range of information! This is what happened a few days ago. I asked the people in the sect to confirm it. It¡¯s indeed the real Saint Valley Medicine and Old Master Yan!¡±


    ¡®It would be weird if I didn¡¯t know! That¡¯s my Master!¡¯ Zhuang Xian pursed her lips speechlessly and complained in her heart.


    However, Zhuang Xian had some doubts about this sudden matter. She nodded at Ming Tu on the phone and said, ¡°Alright! We can talk about the specific details of the mission tomorrow. I still have some things to deal with, so I¡¯ll hang up first, Senior Brother.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s terrifying to hear you call me senior brother all of a sudden! Alright, do your work! Send me the location and time tomorrow when you¡¯ve decided,


    busy man.¡±


    Hearing Ming Tu¡¯s kind words, Zhuang Xian finally smiled and nodded, ¡°Got it.¡±


    Zhuang Xian hung up the phone as she spoke. He complained about his junior sister¡¯s coldness and cruelty. Her actions were so swift that they made Ming Tu¡¯s heart skip a beat. Ming Tu put down the phone in his hand and stood up from his office chair. He thought he still had some troublesome matters to resolve, and his sharp eyebrows slowly locked together.


    Zhuang Xian, who had hung up the phone, fell into a strange silence. She thought about the mission she had just accepted to protect MO Qian and what Ming Tu had blurted about the Saint Valley Medicine appearing in City H. Her entire mind turned into a mess.


    Zhuang Xian felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. She took a deep breath and took out Yan Zuo¡¯s number from her phone. She called him directly. She also wanted to know why her Master suddenly came to City H!


    At this moment, Zhuang Xian and MO Qian still did not know what kind of tribulation awaited them!

    Chapter 619: Chapter 619. Battle in Cangjiang


    Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


    Three days later, on a luxury cruise ship on the Cang River.


    Zhuang Xian held the glass of fresh orange juice in her hand and followed behind MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair. She was wearing a gown that was as white as the moonlight. The dress¡¯s cut was elegant, accentuating Zhuang Xian¡¯s proud figure and complementing her entire aura!


    This expensive gown was sent to the Zhuang family last night by MO Qian. He said he wanted to thank Zhuang Xian for being his partner today and attending the banquet with him.


    On the surface, it was a banquet, but in fact, it was just a banquet with a vibrant business atmosphere. It was one of the important parts of MO Qian and Doug Group¡¯s signing of the project contract!


    The evening weather was pretty good. The sun shone on Zhuang Xian¡¯s exquisite face. She had put on light makeup today, making her look even more beautiful.


    There were many other guests on the deck of the cruise ship. Everyone¡¯s eyes were unconsciously focused on Zhuang Xian. Because this girl was too perfect, her dress was so great that it seemed to be perfectly custom-made for her.


    Facing such a situation, MO Qian felt a little helpless and jealous. He was vulnerable that his girl was too dazzling, and he was jealous that these people could see Zhuang Xian¡¯s beauty. He shook his head gently, trying to eliminate these complicated thoughts.


    He looked up at Zhuang Xian and asked with a smile, ¡°I haven¡¯t thanked you for getting me to see Old Valley Master Yan! Grandma also said that she wanted you to come home for dinner. She said that she would cook delicious food to reward you.¡±


    Zhuang Xian smiled gently and put down her cup. She said in a relaxed tone,


    ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter. There¡¯s no need to thank me.¡±


    MO Qian looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s disapproving expression. The gentleness and indulgence on his face seemed to be overflowing. He nodded and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s true. I owe you more than this! Such a recommendation was naturally not worth mentioning.¡±


    ¡°My master¡¯s temper is strange, but he¡¯s still very kind. Since he promised to help me refine the Buddha¡¯s Hand Pill, he¡¯ll keep his word! You can ask him directly when the time comes.¡± Zhuang Xian said softly, but her eyes were looking at the river.


    MO Qian nodded, indicating that he knew.


    As if he suddenly remembered something, MO Qian turned to look at Zhuang Xian and was about to say something. Still, in the next second, he was suddenly interrupted by a group of people rushing over from the other deck! The wind on the river swept through, slightly ruffling Zhuang Xian¡¯s long hair and brushing MO Qian¡¯s shoulders.


    Xiang Nan put his arm around Si Yan¡¯s shoulder and raised his arm high as he shouted at MO Qian and Zhuang Xian, ¡°The two of you are good at hiding. You¡¯ll just leave the few of us inside to drink with those Japanese people. Brother Qian, what kind of exploiter are you? Let me tell you, Brother Qian, you have to treat us to two meals at the restaurant and a meal of Lanwei¡¯s western pastry as a reward for our help entertaining guests! If you disagree, then you¡¯re an exploiter!¡±


    Retracting his gaze from Zhuang Xian¡¯s face, MO Qian looked helplessly at the tipsy Xiang Nan. When he spoke, he was talking to Si Yan. ¡°If he¡¯s drunk, you should let him rest. Why did you bring him here? And he¡¯s always trying to trick me into treating him to a meal. When did I starve him?¡±


    Hearing MO Qian¡¯s teasing words, Si Yan shook his head helplessly and explained, ¡°He¡¯s not completely drunk, to begin with. He¡¯s just a little tipsy.¡±


    As Si Yan spoke, he glanced sideways at Zhuang Xian beside MO Qian. After smiling at this beautiful girl, he continued, ¡°Si Miao has been quite busy in the studio recently and couldn¡¯t come over today. If we have time another day, let¡¯s get together again!¡±


    As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Furthermore, there was no great hatred between Zhuang Xian and Si Yan. Zhuang Xian looked at Si Yan and smiled but accepted him.


    When MO Qian and Si Yan saw this, they sighed in relief. Si Yan felt that Zhuang Xian was much easier to communicate with than before!


    Zhuang Xian didn¡¯t know what Si Yan was thinking. She only looked away from


    Si Yan and turned to look at the few people who were sneaking over from MO Qian¡¯s rear. She frowned slightly and quietly gestured to her subordinates behind her to be on guard.


    It seemed that this battle was inevitable. These assassins from Japan were not afraid of death!


    What else could she do? She could only make them unable to return!

    Zhuang Xian¡¯s face was cold as she thought about this. Her hand had already grabbed the armrest of MO Qian¡¯s wheelchair. She lowered her body and leaned close to MO Qian¡¯s ear, saying softly, ¡°The situation here is very wrong. I want to take everyone and retreat!¡±


    MO Qian¡¯s expression did not change after hearing this, but the light in his eyes dimmed a little. He nodded without hesitation and replied, ¡°We¡¯ll listen to you. We¡¯ll retreat as you say.¡±


    Hearing MO Qian¡¯s words, Zhuang Xian looked up at Si Yan and Xiang Nan and said in a low voice, ¡°The two of you, take MO Qian to the first warehouse. Police forces are guarding there. These killers are underhanded. They can¡¯t pass!¡±


    When Si Yan and Xiang Nan heard Zhuang Xian¡¯s urgent instructions, they instantly felt their nerves tense. Xiang Nan¡¯s tipsy state also ended.


    He looked at Zhuang Xian¡¯s severe face and wanted to ask more, but MO Qian and Si Yan interrupted him. ¡°There¡¯s no time to explain. We have to evacuate from this place now!¡±


    ¡°There is no place for us to hide on the deck. We can¡¯t stay here for long! Let¡¯s go!¡± As MO Qian spoke, he controlled the wheelchair to move forward quickly, but his eyes were signaling Si Yan to come up and help him.


    MO Qian also understood that under such circumstances, the only thing he could do for Zhuang Xian was to protect himself and not drag Zhuang Xian down. Then, he would let Zhuang Xian play freely on the battlefield!


    Xiang Nan looked at his Brother Qian and Sister Xian¡¯s stance. They were going to fight the killers directly! He thought about it and felt that something was wrong. He asked anxiously, ¡°This won¡¯t do, right? Sister Xian isn¡¯t with the police, and she has no weapons. How can we leave her here alone to fight against these assassins?¡±


    However, before Xiang Nan could finish his words, Zhuang Xian lifted the hem of her dress. On her left and right, the disguised agents of the Underworld Gate had already surrounded her. As if they were performing magic, many firearms appeared in their hands!


    The agents covered MO Qian¡¯s retreat while firing at the killers coming for MO Qian.


    Like moths to a flame, these assassins had been cleaned up by Zhuang Xian and her men before they could even get close to MO Qian!


    The battle ended quickly and cleanly, but Zhuang Xian had a bad feeling about it.


    She put down the gun in her hand and suddenly realized that something was wrong. The expression on her face suddenly changed. She turned around and took a step forward. She shouted at MO Qian and the others walking toward the first cabin not far away, ¡°No! Don¡¯t go to the first cabin! This was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain! MO Qian, come back!¡±


    Zhuang Xian shouted as she dashed toward MO Qian. She kicked her high heels away. MO Qian, who heard Zhuang Xian calling for him, stopped his wheelchair abruptly. Just as he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, an explosion that sounded like it would break the sky rang out from the first cabin less than five meters behind them!


    Before the sound wave of the explosion could reach MO Qian, Zhuang Xian had already pounced on him. She grabbed MO Qian¡¯s arm, turned to Si Yan and Xiang Nan, and shouted, ¡°Jump into the river! Hold your head!¡±


    MO Qian didn¡¯t know where Zhuang Xian¡¯s strength came from. He was pulled to the ground by Zhuang Xian. When he rolled along the deck, he subconsciously hugged his girl.


    This loud explosion was accompanied by a heatwave that reflected the red sky. It roared and spread across the entire deck of the ship with a power that seemed to be able to destroy everything! It appeared to be able to overturn everything in the world.


    The sound wave of the explosion hit MO Qian and Zhuang Xian¡¯s bodies. They seemed to have lost control in the air and were sent flying by the sound wave as if they were weightless things!


    Zhuang Xian felt a dull pain in her chest as if she had been run over by a big car. She felt a sweetness in her throat, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She narrowed her eyes and looked at MO Qian, who was hugging her. Suddenly, some familiar but very unfamiliar images appeared in her mind.


    She did not know this was a unique memory belonging to her and MO Qian. She only felt in a daze, as if she was playing a marquee. She tried hard to open her eyes and look at the person holding her again. However, when the sound wave hit her and MO Qian, she did not see MO Qian¡¯s face again.. She only sniffed the faint smell of perfume in her nose and slowly fell into a long sleep!
