"Thank you, Minister Jiang!" everyone cried, tears streaming down their faces.
"Master, let me take a look at the men’s injuries."
Just then, Xue Zhong, who had been standing silently off to the side, approached Jiang Xinghai with a broad smile.
"Very well. I’ll leave them to you," Jiang Xinghai said with a slight nod.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity to grow."
Xue Zhong walked toward the injured security guards, his face flush with excitement.
But the guards were once again stunned.
A few of them recognized Xue Zhong from television.
"Are you... Master Xue, one of the ten Saint Hands from the National Medical Hall?"
one of them asked, completely stunned.
"I wouldn’t dare call myself a master in front of my own master. I’m merely a member of the National Medical Hall," Xue Zhong said casually.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Jiang Xinghai again.
’This man... he’s practically a god!’
’His martial arts are on another level, and his medical skills are so great that even Master Xue defers to him?’
Still in a state of shock, the men followed Master Xue to the security office.
Only Xue Gui remained, waiting by his side. "Minister Jiang, what should we do with Pan Baoshun?"
"I was about to ask for your opinion." Jiang Xinghai had been waiting for Xue Gui to ask this very question.
"My opinion...?" Xue Gui was taken aback.
"As the head of security, how would you handle someone who brings a mob to stir up trouble?" Jiang Xinghai offered Xue Gui a cigarette.
"Try words before weapons," Xue Gui said, slowly lighting the cigarette.
"And then?" Jiang Xinghai pressed.
"And then..." Xue Gui trailed off, speechless.
’If I let him go, he’ll just come back for revenge!’
’If I hand him over to the police, he’ll be out in three to five years and go right back to being a menace!’
"Then... you make him disappear, without anyone ever knowing." Xue Gui looked up, a vicious glint in his eyes.
Jiang Xinghai nodded. "The world is a messy place. Sometimes, you have to be decisive. Let this be my first lesson to you."
With that, he turned and walked away.
The words struck a chord with Xue Gui.
’He’s right!’
’In this dog-eat-dog world, mercy toward an enemy is cruelty to oneself.’
"I’ll take care of the consequences, so don’t worry," Jiang Xinghai’s voice drifted back from a distance.
Xue Gui nodded firmly. "Minister Jiang, I know what to do. I’ll make him disappear right away."
’Make me disappear...’
Pan Baoshun, still slumped on the ground, had watched helplessly as Ma Long led his boss and the others away. Now, hearing he was going to be "disappeared," he was so terrified he wet himself.
"You brought a whole crew here to make a scene. If we don’t kill you, won’t the Shen Group become a laughingstock? Your death will serve as a warning to others. It will also mark the beginning of the end for the entire underworld." Xue Gui dragged Pan Baoshun into a car.
’Of all the people to mess with...’
’...he just had to go and provoke the Shen Group!’
He knew that, given Jiang Xinghai’s methods, Jizhou’s entire underworld was about to face an unprecedented catastrophe.
「Meanwhile.」
Jiang Xinghai returned to the president’s office on the ninth floor. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Not bad at all, Minister Jiang. You took care of those troublemakers in just over ten minutes," Shen Lingyin said, bringing a cup of tea and pressing it into Jiang Xinghai’s hands. "Have a drink. I brewed it for you myself."
"Black tea? Don’t tell me you knew I have a weak stomach, Lingyin?" Jiang Xinghai grinned, glancing over at Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun, who were both staring at him.
"Tsk. No wonder you’re so eager to live off a woman. Turns out you just have a weak stomach," Shen Lingyin said with a meaningful smile.
The implication, of course, was that Jiang Xinghai was going to marry into the Shen Family.
"Lingyin, what are you talking about?" Shen Lingxue shot her sister a look.
"Alright, alright, I’ll keep my mouth shut. You guys talk," Shen Lingyin said with a shrug. freēwēbnovel.com
Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun sat on the sofa, both turning their gazes to Jiang Xinghai.
"Right, let’s talk about the cosmetics company," Jiang Xinghai said seriously. "The Du Family promised to transfer one of their smaller cosmetics companies to my name. All we need to do is handle the ownership transfer, and we’ll be ready to operate."
Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun couldn’t help but exchange a glance.
"The Du Family’s cosmetics company is even larger than Meilian Company. And they’re just giving it away for free?" Su Yanyun asked first.
"Of course. We’ll have it transferred directly into your name tomorrow. I don’t need any assets of my own," Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.
"But..." Su Yanyun was visibly moved.
Shen Lingxue, however, simply nodded. "The Du Family made a very smart move."
She figured the Du Family was only making this gesture of goodwill out of deference to Jiang Xinghai’s identity.
Jiang Xinghai just smiled without saying a word.
’The Du Family knows their place. They’re pragmatic, at least.’
As for Jizhou’s underworld, his original plan had been to pay a visit to the Mu Family or the Wanyan Family tonight.
But since it was Feng Lulu’s birthday, he would have to postpone it.
RING! RING! RING!
Suddenly, Jiang Xinghai’s phone rang. The caller ID read: Lin Liping.
"You’re finally back," Jiang Xinghai said as he answered.
"Xinghai, Lulu and I are about to arrive at the Jizhou high-speed rail station, but I’ve realized people from the Provincial City’s Feng Family have been following us this whole time! I’m worried they’re going to try and take Lulu! I’ve already called the police, but I’m still terrified..." Lin Liping’s voice was frantic.
’Someone wants to kidnap Feng Lulu?’
’The Feng Family from the Provincial City!’
