“Boss, I have news on the two matters you asked me to look into.”
Upon answering the phone, Liu Dahai’s first words galvanized Jiang Xu, “Spit it out!”
Liu Dahai, “Based on my investigation, whether it’s the deliberate framing of you and madam,
or Miss Zhou’s injury yesterday, it’s actually the same person behind it.
That person is named Huang Xiaofei, from a family in Magic City with over a hundred years of heritage.
And… this person is currently your classmate.
Jiang Xu stepped out to the staircase corner to talk.
His gaze was icy, “Are you certain?”
In his mind, Huang Xiaofei’s image emerged unbidden.
He had only exchanged a few words with him.
The impression was of someone not particularly talkative and a bit shy.
It was hard to imagine him doing such a thing.
What puzzled Jiang Xu even more was that there was no conflict between them at all.
Could it really be because he wanted to snatch away An Nuonuo from him, that he’d begun this scorched-earth campaign?
Liu Dahai replied, “Boss, I’ve investigated everything thoroughly.
The Huang Family, which Huang Xiaofei belongs to, has a rather peculiar way of choosing its successor.
Among peers who have the ability to become the successor, the family gives each one five hundred million in cash.
Within three years, no matter what means you use,
as long as it’s not illegal, whoever accumulates the most wealth becomes the next successor.”
Now, Jiang Xu understood.
He had become their prey,
not only after his people but also wanting to snatch his assets.
Jiang Xu then asked, “Have you thoroughly investigated the background of the Huang Family?”
Liu Dahai, “I’ve only uncovered some superficial information…
According to the info Liu Dahai had found,
the Huang Family’s enterprises were spread across first, second, and third-tier cities nationwide.
They were involved in real estate, furniture, appliances, supermarkets, department stores, and even entertainment.
The entire family’s asset portfolio was conservatively estimated to be over fifty billion.
For the vast majority, such a powerful family was an insurmountable mountain.
After hearing this, Jiang Xu said, “Continue to investigate this family and Huang Xiaofei in detail.
Be discreet, we can’t let them catch on.”
Liu Dahai, “Understood.”
“Right,” Jiang Xu nodded, “I’ll have someone transfer ten million to you immediately.”
Liu Dahai, overjoyed, quickly offered his thanks.
This boss was really straightforward-it was one thing to have money, but he really dished it out.
After the call, Jiang Xu arranged for the company to transfer ten million to Liu Dahai.
As for Huang Xiaofei, he definitely wouldn’t let him off the hook.
But he wouldn’t rush to confront him now either.
Following the decree of fantasy novels, if you defeat someone’s minions, their superiors come out.
Then the hero gets beaten, flees to a distant land, builds up enough strength to come back for revenge, defeats the elders, and just as the family faces annihilation, some ancestor who has been dormant for hundreds or thousands of years reappears.
The hero gets beaten half to death again, forced to flee in disgrace.
Such a pattern repeats itself, then it’s time to change the setting and start again.
So, having decided to deal with Huang Xiaofei, Jiang Xu planned to uproot him completely at once.
Before that, he’d act as if nothing happened.
First, lay the groundwork.
When the time was right, strike to kill without giving the enemy a chance to breathe.
Pocketing his phone, Jiang Xu returned to the ward.
He found An Nuonuo feeding Zhou Qingyue porridge.
So Jiang Xu, holding soy milk and youtiao, approached An Nuonuo, “Open up,
I’ll feed you.”
An Nuonuo, a bit embarrassed, shook her head, “No need, I’ll eat by myself later.”
Jiang Xu said expressionlessly, “Open your mouth.”
An Nuonuo could only obediently open her mouth.
Zhou Qingyue:
This scene felt a bit strange.
After staying for a while, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo left.
“Shall we come back to see her tonight?”
On the way back, An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu, her tone coquettish. Jiang Xu refused: “We still have work to do, we’ve already been delayed for most of the day because of her.”
An Nuonuo launched her ultimate move directly: “If you agree, I’ll wear that set of pajamas you bought last time…”
Jiang Xu abruptly stopped the car at the roadside and pulled up the handbrake.
His eyes gleaming, he looked at An Nuonuo: “Miss, are you serious?”
An Nuonuo nodded with a shy face.
Last time, Jiang Xu had bought a very ‘forward-thinking’ set of pajamas. But because the style was too avant-garde, despite all his persuasion, An Nuonuo just wouldn’t wear it.
It had been gathering dust in the closet ever since.
Now, An Nuonuo was actually offering to wear that set of pajamas in order to visit Zhou Qingyue, and Jiang Xu couldn’t be happier.
As for work and such, heh, sorry, not familiar.
“Okay, it’s a promise,” said Jiang Xu with a wide grin, “But you have to put it on for me to see first, then we can go.”
This was to prevent this girl from going back on her word.
After all, An Nuonuo had a history of doing just that.
An Nuonuo nodded shyly.
How could Jiang Xu bear it?
He immediately floored the accelerator.
The engine roared, and the car sped away.
Under the premise of not violating traffic rules, they rushed home at the fastest speed.
Jiang Xu took out that set of pajamas from the closet, eager for An Nuonuo to change into it right away.
An Nuonuo, struggling with shyness, held the pajamas and walked into the restroom.
After waiting for about five minutes, An Nuonuo came out of the restroom. Clothed in a light gauze nightgown, her graceful curves were faintly visible under the play of light.
With light makeup and a gentle curving of her eyebrows, she exuded endless allure.
The girl, supporting her bra with her fingertips, turned around prettily. What caught Jiang Xu’s eyes was the spine-tingling line of her nape, breathtakingly beautiful.
An Nuonuo raised her hand and gently brushed from the top of her head to the tips of her hair; her tresses flowed elegantly, beautifully arranged, her eyes smiling with a special charm.
Jiang Xu finally understood what it meant to be intoxicated by someone, not by the wine.
Wearing this set of pajamas, An Nuonuo gained an extra bit of charm and sexiness.
This was a stark contrast to her usual image.
The sense of contrast was incredibly strong.
Jiang Xu was filled with reverence!
In the evening, Jiang Xu accompanied An Nuonuo to the hospital again to visit Zhou Qingyue.
She was much better now, compared to the daytime.
Liu Yue was also there.
Her face bore a smile.
One reason was that Zhou Qingyue was fine, and another was that she had turned misfortune into a blessing.
Liu Yue also knew how to market.
Using the incident of Zhou Qingyue’s injury, she crafted an image of a kind and brave girl for her.
As a result, Zhou Qingyue’s popularity soared, threatening the status of top-tier female stars.
It wouldn’t take long for her to reach the top-tier status at this rate. Liu Yue smiled and stood up: “You young people chat; I’m stepping out.” After she left, An Nuonuo and Zhou Qingyue held hands, chatting about topics that girls usually do.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, was working with his laptop to one side.
He first opened the backend of League of Legends.
The game had been online for two days, the highest number of concurrent players… 1,200.
“Hm?” Suddenly, upon refreshing again, Jiang Xu noticed something unusual..
