Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 196

After returning inside the house, Cheng Lingsu sat in the living room. She didn't go to university as she was worried. She relaxed after she saw Lin Yueling return safely, "Mother, are you alright?"

Lin Yueling shook her head, "I'm fine. Susu, you didn't go to class?"

Cheng Lingsu looked at Jiang Xiu. This guy wore a cold expression on his face so she couldn't gather any information from him. She said, "I thought they were bad people. I'll go to university if you're okay."

"Mhm. Go quickly. Don't skip classes."

Cheng Lingsu picked up the bag from the sofa then went out after waving to Lin Yueling. Lin Yueling hesitated over and over again before saying, "This won't do. We better return to Jiangnan quickly." She started packing without even asking for Jiang Xiu's opinion.

Jiang Xiu thought that he had married in vain as he was still being forced to return to Jiangnan in the end. His phone began ringing in such a tense state. It was a call from Wang Xintong, "Hello?"

"I just received news that the most remarkable candidate of the third generation of the Jiang family, Jiang Ao, landed in Jiangnan."

"Jiang Ao?"

"Yes. This person's nickname is Crown Prince Ao. He's the most excellent among the Jiang family's third generation as well as the most authoritative with the best resources. You can say he's the person who will lead the Jiang family in the future."

Jiang Xiu wasn't surprised. This man's strength came from his mother and his fiancée, both had powerful backgrounds. Especially his fiancée's Ji family, it was an elite family hundred years ago. Back then, the Ji family a Demigod, Ji Wudao, whose favorite pupil is now one of the Ten Grand Marshals.

"Entire Jiangnan is in a mess right now."

Jiang Xiu's expression became gloomier. This was Elder Jiang's counterattack. "Jiang Ao wants to suppress everyone in Jiangnan through force? Let's see if he can do that."

"How about your return to Jiangnan? Those guys in Jiangnan wouldn't be able to endure the pressure from both the Jiang and Ji family. This move was quite ruthless. None of the seniors made an appearance, and they are making Jiang Ao subdue the businessmen and underworld powers of Jiangnan. This is equivalent to attacking your foundation."

"They are courting death!" Jiang Xiu said coldly.

Lin Yueling walked out of the room at this moment. She had packed all the necessary things into a suitcase. "Alright. Son, book flight tickets for our return to Jiangnan."

That attitude was unswerving.

He told Wang Xintong, "Prepare a plane to Hang City…" Since Crown Prince Ao has arrived at Jiangnan, he would inevitably go to Hang City.

"Okay!"

Lin Yueling said, "Why to Hang City? We should be returning to Jiang City, no, to Annan."

"Didn't you say you want me to transfer to Jiangnan University? Why would we go to Annan then? Otherwise, why don't you fasten me to your waistband, that way, you won't be worried at all."

Lin Yueling scolded him with a smile, "Stinky brat. Alright then. Hang City it is."

…

The news of Jiang Ao landing in Jiangnan spread among the elite circles of Jiangnan like a hurricane. Several invitation cards were issued, and all the elites of Jiangnan scrambled like dogs to grab one of them as the other party was a first-rate young master from the Imperial Capital.

Many times, a young master's charisma was higher than an actual power holder's charisma. This was because the power holders often worried about their actions while young masters acted in a perverse, unrestrained manner.

For example, if you need an official to do something, you have to go through the proper channels, and this would expend a lot of time and effort, but the official might still not do it in the end. However, these young masters can fix this for you in minutes.

Another news spread out, which was that Jiang Ao visited the home of Jiangnan's Deputy Mayor, Dong Zhenfeng. It appeared that they had close ties.

The Dong family had existed in Jiangnan for a few decades and was deeply-rooted here. It possessed considerable influence in Jiangnan.

Many troublesome things had happened in Jiangnan over the past two years. One was Gu Dezhi. Initially, he didn't have much control in Jiangnan as the power structure was quite complicated here. The economic development had advanced at a rapid pace during these two years, mostly in Guang provinces, Pinghai province and the rest of the places. His position at the Jiangnan's border region was becoming more illustrious, so many people were observing him. Everyone had guessed that the Jiang family had come to help Dong Zhenfeng grab the position.

In a high-rise office building, two people were right in the middle of discussing the details.

"I guess Jiangnan will belong to the Dong family soon."

"Mayor Gu's time is coming to an end. The powers of Jiangnan will inevitably switch sides."

"Crown Prince Ao's invitation cards are the focus, as they are akin to tickets to their success in the future."

In a gloomy, secluded place, two old men donned in martial arts clothes walked alongside each other. Many bodyguards wearing suits followed behind them with grim expressions.

"The relationship between Mr. Jiang and Mayor Gu is no secret. The heavens of the underworld might change again."

"Even if you say the position of Jiangnan's governor is undetermined, is there any doubt about who has the final say in Jiangnan's underworld later? It's naturally the Ji family."

"You mean that Ji family?"

"Yeah. Crown Prince Ao's fiancée is the fifth-generation great-granddaughter of the Ji Ancestor."

…

On an island in the sea, a man with a huge figure faced the sea with his arms behind him. He looked at the waves attack the rocks. These waves soared up to several meters high.

He sighed deeply, "The heavens of Jiangnan are indeed going to change."

The man behind him asked, "Is the Ji family really that powerful?"

"Naturally. An insignificant Jiangnan is nothing in his eyes. Though Mr. Jiang is rising up like a comet, he is still young in the end, and has a shallow foundation."

Though Jiang Luoxia has suppressed Jiangnan for a while using his absolute strength, he didn't exercise any control over Jiangnan. This was because his ambitions laid somewhere else. He had even gone to study in the Imperial Capital.

"However, Mr. Jiang isn't someone we can provoke as well. I request the family head to lead us. What should we do?"

"Since Crown Prince Ao came to Jiangnan, it will definitely give rise to storm in Jiangnan." The man gazed at the incoming waves with a calm expression. "No matter vicious the storm is, we must always have a cool head."

Jiangnan was going through turbulent times right now with dark clouds looming over it.

…

A private plane took off from the Imperial Capital and landed in Jiangnan's airport. Jiang Xiu and Lin Yueling descended from the plane. She was scared by her son's actions. The private plane was too shocking for her.

Owning such a thing was really amazing in 2008.

"Little Xiu, where shall we stay tonight?"

Jiang Xiu said, "We can stay in a hotel. If you want, I can arrange a car to send you to Annan. I'm going to meet Mayor Gu and ask him to arrange my transfer."

Lin Yueling said, "Deliver me to Annan then. I want to return quickly and consult with your father to decide what to do next."

A car arrived directly at the tarmac. Jiang Xiu instructed the driver to take Lin Yueling to Annan directly while he waited for a while at the airport. Another car arrived there later.

He received a call from Wang Xintong, "The Wang Mansion has already been transformed into the Jiang Mansion. You can stay there if you want or else I can book a hotel room for you if that suits you better."

"To my new home then."

Jiang Xiu wanted to cultivate during the night, and the soundproofing of the hotel rooms wasn't that good. Moreover, he was pretty fond of the former Wang Mansion's park. He was also thinking of making it his home in Jiangnan after repairing it and making it his headquarters.

"Mhm. Okay. I'll also arrive there soon. I'm on the next flight. There's some bad news though. Many of our businesses in Jiangnan were closed down, including 5 hotels, 12 construction companies, 2 resorts as well as 3 network companies, 6 large-scale restaurants, and an Entertainment City. Our losses for a single day have crossed 50 million RMB."

If Wang Xintong hadn't revealed it, he wouldn't have known that the Amidst Heaven Group ran so many businesses in Jiangnan. Wang Xuetang and his daughter were really skilled and ambitious in this respect.

"Though there's no news from Jiang City yet, if I guessed it right, the Myriad Base project which originally belonged to the Cheng family will also be closed down."

"Crown Prince Ao has made a huge move after coming to Jiangnan."

Wang Xintong's voice turned extremely anxious, "What should we do? The Jiang family isn't some small family, it has influence and power to which there's an en masse response."

"Will our fund chain break?" Jiang Xiu asked her.

Wang Xintong replied, "Of course not. We didn't loan money from the bank. Though there are many projects, with Mayor Gu looking out for us, out total investment hasn't surpassed 5 billion RMB."

The Wang family assets were worth over tens of billions, so this wasn't a severe injury at all.

"They are more anxious than us."

Wang Xintong continued, "Crown Prince Ao has arranged a dinner party at West Lake's bank and invited all the elites and prestigious people of Jiangnan. Only my Wang family didn't receive it."

Jiang Xiu said, "I also didn't get one."

Wang Xintong got enraged. The other side is clearly targeting you, why will they send you an invitation card?

"Even if he doesn't invite us, can't we just go?"
