Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen: Getting Serious

Hearing that Jiangnan needed something, the young woman's expression instantly turned serious, and she immediately pulled Jiangnan inside.

The young woman before him was named Song Hongyan, and she was under Mo Lao's command.

At the same time, she was also a longtime friend of Jiangnan.

Moreover, the initial capital of Feng Wang Ge was invested by Jiangnan.

Therefore, Jiangnan could be considered a shareholder of Feng Wang Ge.

"Speak, what's the matter?"

"It's the first time I've seen you so serious; this must be something rather complicated, right?"

Song Hongyan immediately asked Jiangnan on the spot.

Hearing this, Jiangnan nodded and said, "Song, I plan to start another company, and this company will be second only to Nan Shen Group; however I might be a bit busy these days. Your Feng Wang Ge has just opened, but with Jiang Haishan present, there shouldn't be any trouble."

"I want to invite you to be the vice chairman of my new group; what do you think?"

Hearing this, Song Hongyan thought for a moment, and without further words, agreed.

"Fine, you even came personally to invite me; if I refuse, wouldn't I be betraying your trust."

"But you came up to see me just for this, right?"

Song Hongyan looked a bit disappointed and asked Jiangnan.

Seeing this, Jiangnan thought for a moment and asked Song, "Of course it's not just this; I recall, Song, you've been feeling unwell lately, haven't you?"

"You always feel a lack of Qi and blood, especially sleepy, wanting to sleep, lacking energy, right?"

Hearing that, Song Hongyan quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, my condition has been poor lately."

"Alright, lie down on the sofa first; I'll treat you now."

Jiangnan said so and pulled a box of Silver Needle from his body.

Song Hongyan didn't hold back either, half‑lying on the sofa, looking as if she were ready to be picked.

Looking at Song Hongyan's posture, Jiangnan felt helpless; this woman truly was a femme fatale.

Who could resist such a deadly temptation?

The next second, Jiangnan grabbed a Silver Needle and drove it straight into Song Hongyan's Tiantan acupoint.

"Ah!"

Song Hongyan felt a sharp pain from behind and couldn't help but cry out.

Hearing the sound, Jiangnan quickly tapped Song Hongyan and, in a very serious tone, said, "Song, don't shout randomly."

"If you keep shouting like that and others misunderstand, how am I supposed to explain?"

Jiangnan felt a bit helpless.

This enchantress Song Hongyan, fortunately already married, otherwise, if someone were to go after him...

He definitely couldn't handle it; it would be an ill‑fated experience for him.

As for Song Hongyan, after Jiangnan's move, she used her snow‑white thighs to hook around his waist and teased, "Oh?"

"We, the Lord of Shenlong Hall and Head of Ink Gate, actually have a shy side?"

"Seems like it's actually you, sister, who's at fault?"

Song Hongyan flirted with Jiangnan for a while, then obediently lay down on the spot.

In the remaining time, Jiangnan proceeded smoothly and finished needling all of Song Hongyan's acupoints.

Yet at this moment, Song Hongyan wore an uncomfortable expression.

Because Jiangnan had pricked her like a hedgehog, she couldn't move at all!

"Jiangnan, you've turned me into a hedgehog; are you sure this can cure my body?"

Hearing that, Jiangnan nodded confidently and replied, "Of course, after all it's just a minor ailment; treating it is really easy."

"Even a serious illness can be cured by me as well."

"Alright, don't speak for now; let me treat you in peace."

Having said that, Jiangnan said no more.

And Song Hongyan, being very sensible, closed her mouth on the spot and stopped disturbing Jiangnan.

Half an hour later.

At this moment, Jiangnan was already drenched in sweat.

After all, inserting needles so many times was a considerable exertion for him.

But at least Song Hongyan's physical condition was healed by him.

The next moment, Jiangnan withdrew the Silver Needle, patted Song Hongyan's butt, and said, "Alright, Song, see if your body feels any better now."

Hearing that, Song Hongyan shifted a bit and found her condition was indeed much better than before.

"Jiangnan, your medical skill is truly getting stronger; I feel you're surpassing the Hall Master."

Song Hongyan, with a face full of admiration, said something to Jiangnan.

Suddenly, at that moment.

Song Hongyan seemed to recall something, stood up on the spot, went to the desk, took out a Broken Jade Pendant, and handed it to Jiangnan.

"Look at me, I almost forgot the main business!"

"Weren't you always investigating the mystery of your parents' disappearance?"

"Perhaps this Broken Jade Pendant contains the answer you seek; I found this Broken Jade Pendant during a casual investigation earlier."

"Moreover, this Broken Jade Pendant originates from a very prestigious noble family in the capital!"

With those words spoken,

Jiangnan was startled, quickly picked up the Jade Pendant and began to examine it.

Jiangnan saw a character "Nan" on the Jade Pendant.

"Nan?"

"Could it be that this Jade Pendant is mine?"

Jiangnan, somewhat puzzled, said to Song Hongyan.

Hearing that, Song Hongyan nodded and said, "I feel it should be, it's another Jade Pendant I haven't found, but this matter requires you to investigate personally."

"After all, I've only investigated half; the clues stopped."

"And if you want more clues, you must ask your master; perhaps he knows something."

Hearing that, Jiangnan thought for a moment and thanked Song Hongyan, saying, "Alright, got it, Song sister, I'll go ask my master."

"I'll go down first; someone is waiting for me."

After saying so, Jiangnan turned and went down.

At that moment, Song Hongyan let out a light sigh and said, "Ah, Mo Lao told me not to tell you everything, saying it's to protect you, but the matter of the Jiang Family ultimately cannot be hidden."

"I hope that after you uncover the truth, you won't be so impulsive, otherwise…"

Meanwhile.

In the Tian Zi Baojian on the second floor of Feng Wang Ge, Murong Wan sat nervously in a chair, looking at the delicacies before her, yet she did not pick up her chopsticks.

Because she was waiting for Jiangnan to come down, then eat together.

A short while later.

Jiangnan pushed open the door and walked in.

When he saw Murong Wan still not moving her chopsticks, just sitting there.

Jiangnan sat beside her and asked, "Why aren't you eating first? Are you waiting for me to come?"

"Hmm, if you don't come, I'd be awkward by myself."

Hearing that, Jiangnan felt a bit helpless, sighed and said, "Then you can't starve yourself, eat quickly."

"After we finish eating, we'll return to Tianyu No. 1, change clothes, and go attend the auction."
