Chapter 27: Mr. Jiang, I Was Wrong!

~6 min read 1,150 words

However, upon hearing that the middle‑aged man intended to send him to the A San Kingdom, Su Jingsheng's legs instantly went weak.

The A San Kingdom's environment is notoriously harsh, recognized worldwide.

Moreover, its citizens are unhygienic and dislike cleanliness, causing viruses to run rampant throughout the nation!

Now his father wants him to practice medicine in the A San Kingdom—doesn't that mean he wants him dead?

"Dad, I'm sorry, I beg you, please don't send me to the A San Kingdom."

"As long as you don't send me abroad, whatever you want me to do, I will agree!"

Su Jingsheng was truly terrified, kneeling before the middle‑aged man and pleading incessantly.

"Are you sure?"

The middle‑aged man, highly skeptical, cast a glance at Su Jingsheng.

"Really, Dad, as long as you don't send me to the A San Kingdom, I'll do whatever you ask."

Seeing Su Jingsheng kneeling before him, begging desperately, the middle‑aged man sighed helplessly.

"Fine, I won't let you go to the A San Kingdom, but you must go retrieve that little brother as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, when Smallpox Rash spreads, Jinghai City might even be paralyzed!"

The middle‑aged man said to Su Jingsheng very seriously,

"But Dad… I."

Hearing the middle‑aged man ask him to fetch Jiangnan, Su Jingsheng's face showed reluctance.

"Just a moment ago you said, as long as I don't send you to the A San Kingdom, I'll agree to anything you want."

"Now you've changed your mind, so I can change mine too; I'll book a flight for you in a moment."

Hearing that, Su Jingsheng dared not say another word, hurriedly replying, "No, no, how could I have changed my mind? Dad, don't you understand me?"

"I'll go find him right now and have him treat those patients."

Without another word, Su Jingsheng headed out of the hospital.

At that moment,

"Hey, Su Jingsheng, let me go with you."

"I happen to have a medical question; which gentleman should I ask?"

A delicate female voice suddenly sounded.

A beautiful doctor appeared behind Su Jingsheng and patted his shoulder.

"What are you taking me with you for?"

"Could it be, Su Meiruo, that you have a crush on that kid?"

Su Jingsheng asked in surprise.

"Impossible, don't talk nonsense; I just want to discuss some medical issues with that gentleman."

Su Meiruo's cheeks flushed as she retorted to Su Jingsheng.

Everyone present could see that Su Meiruo's interest wasn't in Jiangnan.

"Fine, if you want to go together, then go ahead."

Su Jingsheng, impatient, waved his hand off and said to her,

Meanwhile,

Tianyu No. 1 Villa.

At this moment, Jiangnan was cross‑legged on the villa's living‑room sofa, beginning his cultivation.

Jiangnan's whole body was filled with a dazzling golden light, and his meridians became distinctly visible.

Boom—!

Jiangnan suddenly opened his eyes, and his aura doubled in strength.

"The Qingyun Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a Divine Art; I've cultivated all night yet have grasped less than half a point."

"Could it be that I must wait for the Panlong Island Trial to begin before I can comprehend my own Dao?"

Jiangnan murmured, silently making up his mind.

In the Panlong Island Trial a year later, he will definitely achieve enlightenment!

Ding‑dong!

At that instant, the doorbell rang.

"Mr. Jiang, are you home?"

From outside the villa, a male and female voice suddenly came.

Jiangnan opened the door puzzled and saw Su Jingsheng and Su Meiruo, each holding many gifts, standing outside.

"What do you mean by this?"

Jiangnan asked, bewildered.

"Mr. Jiang, previously I was blinded and failed to recognize you as Mount Tai; today I have come specifically to atone to you."

Su Jingsheng beamed, flattering Jiangnan.

"Mr. Jiang, I have business with you; could you let me in to discuss?"

Su Meiruo said to Jiangnan very seriously, her expression earnest.

Seeing these two arrive at his residence—one seeking him, the other with business—

When did he become so free that even stray cats and dogs can call on him?

"No need, I'm busy today; Wan'er, see the guests out for me."

Jiangnan said to Murong Wan beside him.

Murong Wan, dressed in an LO uniform with black stockings on her legs, politely approached them and gestured for them to leave.

"You two, my fiancé is refusing to see guests today, so please go out first."

Murong Wan's words were hard to understand; although she wasn't arrogant or overbearing, her tone was very gentle.

This made the two standing outside the villa feel even more embarrassed, yet they dared not force their way in.

"Mr. Jiang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have humiliated you nor looked down on you. Please come back with me and help the patients in Qinghai County!"

Su Jingsheng kept shouting toward the main gate.

"Mr. Jiang, I truly have business to discuss with you; please let me in."

Su Meiruo clutched the railing outside the villa, her face anxious as she shouted.

Meanwhile, Jiangnan, sitting in a chair eating fruit, was comfortably reclining and scrolling on his phone.

"Jiangnan, they refuse to leave; what should we do?"

Murong Wan's expression turned uneasy as she asked Jiangnan, wanting to see what he would do.

"Let the man kneel and wait for me; the woman can just stand."

"Come, help me knead my shoulders."

Jiangnan, with a sweeping gesture, scooped Murong Wan into his arms, his hands feeling soft.

Seeing this, Murong Wan's face flushed with shyness, and she immediately sat up from his lap.

"Oh dear, you're not proper at all!"

Murong Wan pouted coquettishly, then stepped behind Jiangnan and began kneading his shoulders.

Time passed minute by minute, and before long it was already dark.

At that moment, Jiangnan also woke up and glanced outside the door.

"Wan'er, have they been waiting outside all evening?"

Jiangnan pointed to the outside, where Su Jingsheng knelt and Su Meiruo stood, and asked her.

"Yes, they've been waiting for you since you took your nap, all the way up to now."

Murong Wan answered honestly and handed Jiangnan a phone.

"Also, this is the information you asked me to investigate about the source of the Smallpox Rash Virus in Qinghai County."

"I've completed everything, compiled it into a document and saved it there; please review it."

Murong Wan replied to Jiangnan.

"Hmm, well done; tonight I'll reward you properly."

Hearing this, Murong Wan's face flushed even more; she patted Jiangnan's shoulder and said, "Oh dear, you really are something, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I advise you to let them in quickly; otherwise I'm afraid they'll faint from kneeling."

Murong Wan said this directly to Jiangnan.

Seeing this, Jiangnan thought for a moment and then said, "Hmm, wait a moment; let me look at the materials you investigated for me first."

After speaking, Jiangnan lowered his head and glanced at the phone.
