Chapter 637: Oh?

Li Kun raised his head, looking at An Yinan with a persistent gaze; it was hard to imagine he would trust a... woman so much.

Whether it was her ability, her merchant's brain, or the formulas she produced, she was someone he trusted.

"If something happens to the Li Family, I hope Madam An can lend a hand." Li Kun's words were soft and light, yet his deep voice carried firmness.

The precedent of the Xie Family being before him made him retract much of his edge.

How could any of the major families be so clean?

But since his grandfather's time, the Li Family had always strived to develop commerce and had not been involved with other colors; the people around them were basically mercenaries or hired bodyguards, some of whom were desperate men to whom the Li Family gave a shred of shelter.

An Yinan was silent for a moment; she sighed, never having imagined that for a twenty percent profit, what Li Kun wanted was her promise.

Time seemed to freeze, and everyone's breathing slowed down.

Everyone was waiting, wondering, what would Madam say? How would she answer?

An Yinan's brain did not need to think; she would easily tell Duo Xiaoyu that powder must not be touched.

Because a life-saving grace was tied in between.

But the Li Family.

"If I say that the Li Family can only last long if it breaks away from the black, would you believe me?" An Yinan raised her head.

Others might not know the trend, but she knew.

Perhaps time would have changes, but... the changes of time could never alter established history, nor could they stop the wandering child's road home.

Li Kun burst into laughter, and seeing An Yinan's seriousness, he shook his head helplessly.

"Madam An, it seems your investigation into the Li Family is not yet that exhaustive."

"I, the Li Family, have been able to stand tall for many years, and it is not by relying on black industries."

An Yinan raised an eyebrow; the investigation into the Li Family...

How should she put it!

Exhaustive? Being able to let the Huaxia Army investigate, let alone the current industries, even some hidden industries had been uncovered.

Perhaps there were records of parts that Li Kun, as the head of the family, did not even know about in her hands.

This...

Was quite interesting.

"Oh?"

That lightly raised tail tone, every time it rose, carried a bit of insincerity.

Li Kun's heart jumped fiercely; it was this feeling again. When they first met, he was completely defeated, and it started from that "Oh?" sound.

Now it was happening again?

"If Madam An knows something, you might as well just say it." Li Kun's eyes narrowed; he was truly offering his trust, which was different from the educational philosophy he had received since childhood.

But he was overcoming it, because of the Xie Family, because of his mother, and also because of these dealings he had with Madam An.

"Know what?"

"Know that your father has three Clubhouses in his hands, which perhaps the Li Family doesn't know about?"

"Know that Li Er Ye snatched a few shops a few days ago?"

"Know that your third younger brother snatched a woman three months ago?"

An Yinan smiled faintly; every sentence she spoke caused the air pressure around Li Kun to drop a few notches.

Did he believe her?

He did.

Compared to those hypocrites in the Li Family, he was more willing to believe the person in front of him.

Because the person in front of him never lied; in fact, she disdained to.

"It seems... Young Master Li doesn't seem to understand his own relatives that well."

Having just said they don't touch black industries, now he was being slapped in the face...

Li Kun's complexion was gloomy, and the surrounding air pressure had dropped significantly, but the people in the room seemed not to feel it at all.

Li Zai and Zhang He did not come today.

Xiao Liu and Zhang Cheng were doing math problems in the house Zhang Cheng bought himself.

The people who could be in the room now were either Huaxia Army or retired soldiers from the Huaxia Army; who would care about this little bit of air pressure?

As for An Yinan.

Hehe~

That goes without saying; facing the old gentleman, her eldest uncle, and the sarcastic Hua Wensheng every day, she had long been immune to low air pressure.

"I will investigate these things clearly; if the situation is true, I will handle it in my own way."

Li Kun's hands were gently clenched, looking like he was in thought.

An Yinan nodded, "I don't really care, but when it comes to the critical moment, if you want me to take action..."

"I only save clean people."

She shrugged her shoulders; this was her bottom line as a person of Huaxia. This City could be without law.

But in her heart, she always practiced self-restraint.

Of course, the Xie Family members were an exception; after all, what she cleaned up was nothing but a beast, a cage, a blood-sucking predator, and the starting point of evil.

"I will resolve the Li Family's affairs."

"I have looked at the plan; I have no conditions. Three for the Li Family, seven for you."

"The Li Family seeks fame, so the profit should naturally go to Madam An. We should be fair; cooperation can only last long, right?"

Li Kun no longer insisted and continued to discuss the cooperation.

In the end, after some back-and-forth, the two signed the agreement.

On the spot, An Yinan provided the little pills, as well as the formulas for other medicinal ingredients.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Li Kun looked up in surprise; the things inside were all Traditional Chinese Medicine ingredients, with no chemical mixtures or high-tech additives whatsoever.

A single sheet of paper, very simple.

Moreover, this sheet of paper only contained the formula for a face cream.

"Yes, I may not have introduced myself before; I am a doctor, a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor." An Yinan extended her hand toward Li Kun.

That look on her face was as detestable as it could possibly be.

Just look at you; go to any Exchange and ask around—a doctor? Is there any doctor like you?

What kind of doctor is like this? Wreaking havoc inside the Exchange?

And calling yourself a doctor!

"Doctor An, a pleasure to meet you."

However...

Li Kun reached out his hand, grasped An Yinan's fingertips, gave them a light touch, and immediately let go.

An Yinan withdrew her hand; in that moment, this handshake was the beginning of the two people's cooperation.

"Regarding the name, does Madam An have any suggestions?" This formula was mainly provided by An Yinan, and the Li Family only needed the fame; as for what the company's name was, he actually did not care.

"How about Rong'an Cosmeceuticals?"

An Yinan thought for a moment, then gave him a suggestion.

Rong'an.

An, without a doubt, was her surname.

Then Rong...

Le Rong.

Le was a surname, but Rong was just her own, belonging to her mother herself.

Rong'an.

The gaze he directed at An Yinan carried curiosity and scrutiny.

Every time he felt he understood a little bit, the next time he would discover that it was only the tip of the iceberg.

"It's decided, let's go with this." Li Kun nodded.

"What's decided?"

Just at this moment, the door to the inner room was opened, and Le Rong and Duyanlong walked out from the room.

Le Rong looked at her son and asked softly; her eyes were somewhat red and swollen, but her emotions had already stabilized a lot, no longer as agitated as they were at the very beginning.

"I signed a cooperation agreement with Madam An for cosmeceuticals, and the name is set as Rong'an Cosmeceuticals." Li Kun did not hide anything, though his eyes were scrutinizing the man behind his mother.
