Chapter 523 - 523: Jiang Xinghai, I Didn't Expect You to Be So Naughty?

Jiang Xinghai stopped in his tracks and looked back with a slight smile. "Are you calling me?"

"If you're the Little Chef."

The beautiful woman noticed the flicker of suspicion in Jiang Xinghai's eyes.

"Alright, I admit it. I'm still a virgin. You actually guessed it." Jiang Xinghai slung his shoulder bag back and gave a harmless smile, shrugging as if embarrassed at having his secret exposed.

"Whether you're a virgin or not, I don't need an explanation. I'm not interested."

Although the beautiful woman had raised her voice slightly, it still drifted through the air like a beautiful, captivating melody.

"Alright, I admit it. I'm Xiao Chunan." A smile played on Jiang Xinghai's lips; he seemed to understand why this woman was here.

"So you're the little junior brother General Zhong was talking about."

A deep smile also graced the beautiful woman's lips. "Jiang Xinghai, I didn't realize you were so mischievous. It seems I'll have to teach you how to be a more humble man."

A challenging glint shone in the woman's eyes.

"Excellent. I love being taught a lesson."

Shamelessly, Jiang Xinghai said with a straight face, "Lao Deng praised you to the high heavens, and now I see your charm is truly extraordinary."

"Since you enjoy being tormented so much, I'll be happy to oblige."

This woman was, of course, Zhu Yan. "Let's go," she said. "We can talk on the way."

"You came to pick me up. Aren't you going to help with my bag?" Jiang Xinghai asked as he followed helplessly.

"I'm not your servant."

"Or your friend."

"And I'm certainly not anyone intimate. I was only asked by Lao Deng from Yun Province to assist you. I haven't received any orders from General Zhong, so why should I carry your bag?" Zhu Yan kept her gaze fixed ahead, her steps light and graceful.

Jiang Xinghai was left speechless.

Still, watching Zhu Yan from so close, her tempting, peach-like curves were truly captivating.

Soon, the two of them entered the parking garage.

"I have my own car. Where are we going?"

'Jiang Xinghai felt an intense desire to conquer this cold beauty.'

"You decide where we go," Zhu Yan said crisply, her eyes fixed on Jiang Xinghai.

"Let's head to the Yu Family's place first."

Jiang Xinghai needed to see Yu Li first to discuss the Poisonous Insect and the situation with Qiao Sihai.

Besides, Zhu Yan had come for the express purpose of helping him find Qiao Sihai.

"Lead the way, then." Zhu Yan nodded and got into a red Porsche Cayenne.

Night fell, and the city lights began to glow.

The Yu Family's mansion, situated in a prosperous part of the city, was particularly conspicuous.

Having been notified by Jiang Xinghai, Yu Li was already waiting at the entrance.

Three others stood with her: her parents and her cousin, Qin Shuang.

Jiang Xinghai had met Qin Shuang not long ago while inspecting a branch office.

An awkward yet memorable incident had occurred between them because of some troublemakers from the Wei Family.

After Jiang Xinghai left, she learned that her cousin, Yu Li, had been afflicted by a Poisonous Insect. She had been staying at the Yu Family home to keep her company ever since.

"They're here, they're here!"

Yu Li recognized Jiang Xinghai's Land Rover, and the tension that had gripped her for the past six days finally eased.

"That's Divine Doctor Jiang's car, all right," Qin Shuang confirmed, a bashful look on her face.

She was recalling the amusingly awkward moment when Jiang Xinghai had massaged her twisted ankle.

"Yu Li, is this Divine Doctor Jiang really trustworthy?"

The Yu Family Patriarch, Yu Zhuo, a man with a square jaw, thick eyebrows, and large, piercing eyes, stared at the two approaching cars.

"Dad, haven't I already explained this to you and Mom?" Yu Li shot Yu Zhuo an exasperated look. "Divine Doctor Jiang is a man of great character, and he's incredibly kind. If he hadn't been there that day, I never would have known I'd been afflicted with a Gu..."

"Hahaha, I understand," Yu Zhuo said, gently stroking the back of Yu Li's head.

Just then, Jiang Xinghai's car pulled up to the entrance, followed closely by Zhu Yan's, which parked beside it.

They both got out of their cars at nearly the same moment. After a brief glance at each other, they turned their attention to the Yu Family.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, you're back!"

Yu Li rushed forward and instinctively took Jiang Xinghai's hand. "Did everything go well?"

"There was a minor hiccup, but otherwise, things went smoothly." Out of courtesy, Jiang Xinghai gently withdrew his hand and began to introduce Zhu Yan.

With Yu Li making the introductions, the six of them quickly became acquainted.

「Back in the living room.」

Jiang Xinghai revealed that the Qiao Family of Kun City in Yun Province had been annihilated, with Qiao Sihai as the sole survivor.

Everyone present, aside from Zhu Yan, was instantly stunned.

'For Yu Li's sake, Jiang Xinghai had actually wiped out the Qiao Family!'

'That level of devotion, that superhuman fighting ability... it wasn't something just anyone could possess!'

"I can confirm that what he said is true."

Zhu Yan had already heard the outcome from Lao Deng, and she gave Jiang Xinghai a look of genuine admiration. "Currently, my investigation confirms that the Qiao Family's last survivor—the very same Qiao Sihai who harmed Miss Yu—is indeed hiding out in Shanhe Province!"
