Chapter 109 A Delivery from the Black Market

"However," Qin Yexiao stared intently at her, his face excessively arrogant, and said in a low voice, "I am indeed quite badly injured. Are you worried about my injuries? Feeling guilty?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Qin Yexiao continued, "It's nothing to be injured. If you really feel guilty, then make it up to me by changing the dressing on my back every day?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Make it up to your mom.

Xu Chuang had no interest in knowing how Qin Yexiao got injured.

He coldly replied, "Since you are injured, Mr. Xiao, it would be better to let the more professional Young Master Shen handle it, so as not to delay your recovery."

"No need." Qin Yexiao glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, his profile distant and polite: "Jiang Li changed my dressing last night, and she handled it very well."

Xu Chuang: "..."

Cheng Sijun's eyes widened slightly as she stared at Jiang Li in shock.

His face practically screamed, "Have you two gotten this far?!"

Jiang Li: "..."

Clearly, she lost quite badly this time as well.

Qin Yexiao glanced at the time, then gestured for her to get in the car: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat." He then glanced at the others and politely asked, "Would you like to join us?"

Xu Chuang had other matters to attend to at the Narcotics Control Bureau.

Cheng Sijun and Song Qing felt embarrassed to bother the two of them, so they politely declined.

Qin Yexiao nodded and left with Jiang Li.

Xu Chuang stared intently at the two people's clasped hands, his expression complex.

……

Back at the Narcotics Control Bureau, Xu Chuang went straight to his father's office.

Xu Zhenghua stood in front of the map model, looked up and saw him, and immediately asked, "Is that gentleman alright?"

After asking the question, Xu Zhenghua realized he had asked a pointless question.

It's more likely that something else will get into trouble.

Xu Chuang sat down absentmindedly.

Seeing his absent-minded look, Xu Zhenghua immediately felt uneasy: "What are you spacing out for? What happened over there?"

Xu Chuang snapped out of his daze, stared intently at him, and said, "Dad, Qin Yexiao said today that he wants to marry Master Li."

"Oh, I also want to be the leader of the Transportation Alliance." Xu Zhenghua remained calm and continued looking at his map.

Last time I needed to get things done, the transportation alliance opened a back door for me, and I got all the green lights – it was incredibly convenient.

Xu Chuang was speechless: "Dad, are you alright? You think you can just become the leader of the Traffic Alliance like that?"

Xu Zhenghua slapped him on the back of the head and cursed, "How dare you talk to your father like that? Just because I can't be the leader of the Traffic Alliance doesn't mean Qin Yexiao can marry that guy!"

Xu Chuang: "..."

Are these things that can be equated?

His father will never become the head of the traffic alliance in his lifetime.

However, he felt that Qin Yexiao's ideas about his master were dangerous, and it seemed that they were on the verge of success.

but……

Does Qin Yexiao know that his grandfather is... a widow with a child?
……

On the way back to Huating County.

Qin Yexiao received a phone call; it seemed to be something urgent.

The man placed the food basket that Butler Qin had brought into Jiang Li's hands and said in a low voice, "Eat your meal and get some rest. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."

Jiang Li glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Qin Yexiao's large, dry, and hot hand touched the side of her neck, and then said, "You don't need to change today's medicine, you can owe it to me."

Jiang Li: "..."

She felt that all of Qin Yexiao's rejections were in vain.

Qin Yexiao had only one reaction—"I have read and rejected."

Jiang Li was too lazy to struggle any longer. She picked up her food basket, turned around, and entered the elevator.

Qin Yexiao watched the elevator doors close and stop on the 28th floor before returning to his car.

Qin Shan started the car: "A new method, with a relatively large volume of goods. Qin Huo feels it's a bit serious, but he's also afraid it's a ruse. There's a lot of mixed information, and he can't make up his mind, so he came here in person to report to you."

Qin Yexiao hummed in agreement.

The two returned to the Northern Emperor Manor.

Shen Yu and Qin Huo's group were already waiting in the hall.

Qin Huo has a mixed-race face, but what's even more striking than his appearance is his head of red hair and a black flame tattoo on the side of his neck.

He was tall and strong, with a relaxed and unrestrained aura.

"Master Xiao," Qin Huo said respectfully.

"What's the situation on Five Alliance Avenue?" Qin Yexiao sat down on the sofa, resting his elbows on the armrests.

“As you know, they’ve caught their breath over the years and don’t lack manpower. I heard that a new batch of mercenaries has recently joined them,” Qin Huo said.

Qin Yexiao didn't speak, but tapped his finger lightly on the black headset.

As long as there is no shortage of money, there will never be a shortage of people.

It's only a matter of time before they make a comeback.

Qin Huo continued, "However, given the Gray Building's keen senses, they had already caught wind of it and were keeping an eye on it."

The fact that they were able to make a comeback shows that the strength of the Gray Building is no longer what it used to be.

Qin Yexiao nodded and looked at Qin Shan: "Investigate the flow of funds, the new goods market, the laboratory, and the base thoroughly."

"Yes," Qin Shan said, then added, "After suffering such a great loss, they should be more cautious over there. Master Xiao, I need more time."

The hall was deathly quiet.

Qin Yexiao slowly lit a cigarette, the crimson glowing as he flicked it with his fingertip.

Pale smoke billowed out, and he squinted slightly, pointing his long finger holding the cigarette at him, his voice cold and sharp: "If you don't improve at all, I'll personally discipline you."

Qin Shan was terrified, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his brow.

I don't want to experience special training that leaves me barely alive.

He immediately replied, "Yes."

Qin Huo looked at him with pity.

Qin Yexiao's expression was indifferent: "Hacker Alliance, try placing an order with North Wolf and give me the results as soon as possible."

Upon receiving this order, Qin Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Understood."

After saying that, he withdrew.

Shen Yu brought over the medicine tray with a service-like smile: "Master Xiao, shall I change your dressing?"

Qin Yexiao didn't say anything, and unbuttoned his shirt.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow; it was still up to him to do it.

Qin Huo continued to report other matters to Qin Yexiao.

That concludes the report.

Shen Yu's medicine has been changed.

Qin Huo watched Qin Yexiao go upstairs, then turned to Shen Yu and asked, "Didn't Master Xiao always stay at the Tianyin Hotel? Has he moved back to the Beidi Manor now?"

In the past, when he returned to Beicheng to report on matters, he would go directly to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Tianyin Hotel.

He was stunned for a moment when he received the order to return to the Northern Emperor today.

Shen Yu tore open an alcohol disinfectant wipe and slowly wiped his hands.

He slowly said, "It probably all started when a female celebrity said she wanted to sleep in the master bedroom of the Beidi Manor."

Qin Huo: "?"

He had heard that his grandfather had been in frequent contact with female celebrities lately.

It also angered Old Qin.

But isn't the woman they've been tacitly acknowledging as their wife that's been under investigation for so many years with no news, and whose fate is unknown?

……

Jiang Li finished eating.

The Black Wolf Head software was already overflowing with new messages. Many were still in the verification and tracking stage, not worth her time monitoring.

She picked a few messages to reply to.

He then put his phone away.

As soon as she stood up, Xi Shi and Diao Chan began to rub against her feet.

Jiang Li walked to the French windows, knelt down on one knee, pulled out the wolf food that had been put away from the corner, and added food to the two bowls.

At that moment, Jiang Zaiye suddenly sent a video call invitation.

A round face resembling Qin Yexiao appeared on the screen, revealing a big smile and perfectly aligned little teeth: "Wow! Whose mom is so beautiful! Ah! It's mine! Mom! Baby missed you so much!"

Jiang Li paused for a moment, poured the food from the spoon into the wolf bowl, and pointed at the chubby face on the screen.

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Don't be awkward."

"It's not awkward at all! She's just telling the truth! Nobody's as pretty as my mom!"

Jiang Zaiye looked proud.

Jiang raised an eyebrow.

Xi Shi and Diao Chan were both taking advantage of her.

Jiang Li lowered her eyes: "Why are you mooching off me? Eat by yourself."

Xi Shi and Diao Chan buried their heads in their rice bowls, sniffed twice, then raised their heads but didn't eat.

Keep rubbing against her.

Then he turned his head, his gray-green eyes gazing longingly in the direction of the Northern Emperor Manor in the distance.

Jiang Li: "..."

Ah.

After enjoying the delicacies of Beidi Manor for a few days, she began to find her simple meals lacking.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Zaiye frowned and asked, "Mommy, are Xi Shi and Diao Chan sick? Why aren't they eating?"

Jiang Li's lips curled up as he stroked a fluffy head, his smile captivating: "You're just being a snob, aren't you? You've been a pampered young master at the Northern Emperor Manor for a few days and you're already looking down on me."

Jiang Zaiye had no time to think about what had happened to his parents while he was away.

Because he felt his mother's expression was terrifying...

Jiang Li suddenly looked up at Jiang Zaiye on the screen, her fox-like eyes crinkling into a smile: "Baby, would you look down on your mother for being poor because your father is rich?"

Jiang Zaiye dared not; he felt as if his head could be ripped off at any moment from his mother's laughter.

"No!" Jiang Zaiye declared righteously, his expression even more resolute than when he joined the Party: "Mom! You are my only faith! I will definitely stay away from scheming men! I will always remember your hard work in raising me!"

Jiang Li's gaze fell on the two of them.

Two seconds later.

Jiang Zaiye saw that the two had their mouths wide open, their faces buried in their rice bowls, eating like starving ghosts.

He ate while watching Jiang Li's expression.

Their eyes seemed to say that they absolutely did not discriminate against the poor or favor the rich.

Jiang Zaiye's lips twitched: "..."

Jiang Li got up, poured herself a small glass of water, and casually asked, "How's school lately?"

In short, he mastered Jiang Zaiye.

The child felt the boundless love of his mother and said with emotion, "My baby is so good, number one on the little red flower leaderboard!"

To avoid having his parents called in, Jiang Zaiye became even more of a model student than a model student.

Study hard every day and make progress every day.

Jiang Li paused for a second, then nodded: "Okay, I'm hanging up."

"Okay, Mommy," Jiang Zaiye said obediently, "Baby will be on a short holiday soon, I'll make you something delicious when you come back! Goodnight!"

Jiang Li hung up the phone.

I saw an unread message.

Chang Gengming: [Ms. Jiang, regarding the transfer of the Chu family's assets to your name, I will contact you to sign the relevant legal documents once they are finalized.]

Jiang Li: [Hmm.]

……

Late at night, at the Yu family home.

The Chu family of four sat in the hall.

Yu Xuanchen took an ice pack and pressed it onto Chu Yan's swollen right cheek.

"You went so far as to treat Yan Yan so harshly just to please Jiang Li?" Madam Yu glanced at Chu Chengzhang, her eyes deep and serious.

Chu Yan's tears fell.

Madam Yu gave a mocking laugh: "Does she really think she can climb up to the Qin family through Jiang Li?"

Chu Chengzhang is a man who is very good at currying favor with those in power.

He was lucky to have such an outstanding and promising daughter as Chu Yan.

Chu Linfeng pursed his lips and said, "It has nothing to do with Lili. It's because Yan Yan said something too harsh that she angered Lili."

Yu Ruoqi scoffed: "Did Sister Yan Yan say something wrong? Wasn't it she who caused her mother's death?"

Yan Wei clenched her fingers, her eyelashes trembling.

"She's so arrogant now, daring to go against you and steal your property, isn't it all because Qin Yexiao is around?" Yu Ruoqi said disdainfully, "Without Qin Yexiao, what is she?"

The powerful figure standing next to Jiang Li flashed into Yu Xuanchen's mind, his eyes filled with gloom.

He said, "Grandpa always said that Jiang Li'ao was too lazy to explain herself and didn't have a good team, which is why she suffered in the entertainment industry. I just didn't expect that after I broke off our engagement, she would be so self-destructive."

Yu Xuanchen's chest heaved slightly: "Is she retaliating against me for breaking off our engagement, deliberately getting involved with the eldest son of the Qin family to spite me?"

“It’s quite surprising that Lili carries so much weight with the eldest son of the Qin family.” Yu Rong, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

"So what? With the Qin family's social standing, Qin Yexiao would never marry her," Yu Ruoqi said dismissively.

Apart from the old man, no one in the Yu family looked down on Jiang Li.

She refused to believe that the heir of the Qin family, the head of the four major families, would treat Jiang Li differently.

However, it was that face that made that prince somewhat fond of him.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruoqi looked at Yu Rong and asked, "Dad, you're not thinking of trying to curry favor with Jiang Li too, are you?"

Yu Xuanchen sneered, his tone sharp: "Today, the eldest son of the Qin family is willing to help Jiang Li deal with Yan Yan because he is interested in her. But once Jiang Li displeases him, the Chu family will have a hard time saving their lives, let alone their assets."

The thought of the guns carried by Qin Yexiao's subordinates sent chills down Yu Xuanchen's spine.

"Jiang Li's ability to offend people is beyond question," Yu Ruoqi said with a disdainful smirk. "She'll get what's coming to her one day."

Yu Rong nodded: "Xuan Chen and Ruo Qi are right."

Jiang Li has no education, little ability, and his connections are far inferior to Chu Yan's; his future is predictable.

There's really no need to try to please her.

However, we can't let her cause trouble.

“Old Chu, you are Lili’s biological father after all. She doesn’t understand the situation. You should explain it to her and persuade her not to be so arrogant. It will be too late to regret it after she causes trouble,” Yu Rong said.

Chu Chengzhang nodded: "I understand."

Jiang Li is a ticking time bomb; even though he's involved with the Qin family, nobody thinks it's a good thing.

Now they're even homeless at night and have to rely on the Yu family for shelter.

This beast!

If the young master of the Qin family has taken a liking to Chu Yan, that would be wonderful.

With Chu Yan's looks, education, and achievements, she is barely a good match for Qin Yexiao.

Madam Yu looked at Yu Ruoqi: "Alright, stop wasting time down there. Focus on preparing your graduation project. I'll accompany you to the Rong residence next week to submit your project and thesis."

Gaining Master Rong's favor is Yu Ruoqi's most important task right now.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Yu Ruoqi.

The Yu family spent a great deal of manpower, resources, and money in order to get Yu Ruoqi accepted as a disciple by Rong Xiu.

Yu Rong also solemnly instructed Yu Ruoqi: "Prepare well."

Thinking of the package she received from the black market this morning, Yu Ruoqi said confidently, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, Master Rong will definitely like my work."
