The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 123: Perhaps the opponent is too strong.
Shen Yu packed three sets of external wound medicine, two of which were for Qin Shan and Qin Lin.

Then, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding one of the dressings, he went upstairs to change the bandages on Qin Yexiao's back.

……

After finishing her meal, Qi Zhixia slumped on the sofa, stroking the furry figures of Xi Shi and Diao Chan beside her.

After watching Jiang Zaiye clean up the kitchen, he went to the entrance hall, stuck out his little bottom, and neatly placed all of Jiang Li's high heels into the shoe cabinet.

Children have a keen eye for things.

And it's all about serving his mother.

Qi Zhixia turned her head and glanced at the woman who was curled up sideways in the single sofa.

Jealousy is as easy as breathing.

Jiang Li, with her laptop on her lap, asked, "Is everything settled at the orphanage?"

"Do I need to question my professional skills?" Qi Zhixia raised an eyebrow and continued, "There are a few with very good potential. I've already given the list to Elder Qiao. He will communicate with those kids later to see what they want to learn in the future."

Jiang Li hummed in agreement, her eyebrows slightly lowered, her gaze never leaving the computer screen.

"What are you busy with?" Qi Zhixia leaned closer.

The screen displays a map of the southern border region, with several red dots flashing on it.

A few seconds later, the red dots stopped moving and flashing and remained lit for a long time.

Not long after, Jiang Li received several messages.

It was sent by Xu Chuang.

[Several checkpoints seized a large quantity of small quantities, totaling less than two kilograms.]

The delivery method was extremely difficult, but fortunately the new detection equipment arrived in time.

Jiang Li typed on the keyboard: [Our main target market is currently not in China.]

This is just a trial run.

"Two kilograms?" Qi Zhixia frowned. That was definitely not a small amount, but Jiang Li had said it wasn't their main target market. She looked at Jiang Li and asked, "Is it Tian Du?"

Jiang Li hummed in agreement.

"It's been a long time. He's still alive?" Qi Zhixia's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.

Xu Chuang sent another message: "According to data from the SC Labs, there hasn't been much fluctuation domestically. However, starting this evening, the number of attacks on the Narcotics Control Bureau's network has doubled, and the same is true for Interpol. They're starting to panic."

With such a large domestic market, no one would be unmoved.

Jiang Li's lips curled into a slight smile as she leaned back lazily and replied unhurriedly, "What's the rush? Father's here."

Over there, Xu Chuang's lips twitched slightly as he held the cigarette in his mouth.

With this man around, I feel very safe.

Suddenly remembering something, he typed quickly.

[There's one more thing, Boss Li. An hour ago, Ono was added to the Gray Building's intelligence department's investigation list.]

Those who make it onto the intelligence department's investigation list in the Gray Building are no ordinary people; they are all bigwigs from various fields.

Even the most notorious drug lords in the North Continent, the most wanted criminals, are only fit to serve as shoe-shiners for the big shots on the list.

Jiang Zaiye, a six or seven-year-old child, was put on the intelligence department's list.

It's incredible.

So the intelligence department was in a pretty bad mood.

"Wow, that's impressive." Qi Zhixia clicked her tongue. "The young master is indeed not love-struck. He doesn't believe your nonsense and is even investigating."

She had long suspected that Qin Yexiao wasn't so easily fooled.

Qi Zhixia slumped back onto the sofa.

"What is it?" Jiang Zaiye walked over with the yogurt, saw the message on the screen, and said weakly with a frown, "I'm still a baby! I can't even hold a chicken, why are you always checking up on me!"

Qi Zhixia's lips twitched.

A baby who can hack into the city's lighting system with a flick of a finger, and even Qin Yexiao's subordinates can't find out about it?

Xu Chuang continued: "[Those people haven't seen the seven-year-old on the intelligence department's investigation list yet, and they don't know what they want to investigate, like what brand of milk Xiao Ye drinks?]"

Jiang Zaiye: "..."

Xu Chuang: [If I'm not mistaken, it's Qin Yexiao investigating, right?]

Jiang Zaiye took a sip of yogurt and said helplessly, "Besides my dad, you can't find another person this boring, right?"

Jiang Li didn't reply, so Xu Chuang knew he had guessed correctly: "Brother Li, how should we handle this?"

"A cunning man!" Jiang Zaiye snorted, then shrugged indifferently. "Let him investigate. If he finds anything, I'll admit defeat."

Jiang Li was too lazy to waste brain cells on this matter.

He replied to Xu Chuang that it was alright, then put away his phone and got up: "Going to sleep."

It's already 2 a.m.

"Oh, right." Jiang Li turned to look at Qi Zhixia: "Qin Yexiao brings us food every morning. We'll meet him tomorrow morning, so don't give anything away."

Qi Zhixia waved her hand and said lazily, "I'm going to check into a hotel later. Don't worry about me. See you at the hospital tomorrow."

Jiang raised an eyebrow and went back to her room.

Qi Zhixia wasn't afraid of running into Qin Yexiao.

Instead, there are only two rooms.

She couldn't fight with the kids for a bed. Jiang Li was the kind of old man who would rather wrong others than wrong himself, and he wouldn't even share half of the bed with her.

Ever since Jiang Zaiye came into her life, whenever she comes to see Jiang Li, she either sleeps on the floor or on the sofa.

Jiang Li was used to being treated like a jerk.

You can't change the big shots, you can only change yourself.

So they spent a fortune to buy a big house for a tycoon, but the tycoon immediately put it up for sale on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace), turning the real estate into a string of cold numbers on a bank account.

She was impressed.

Although this two-bedroom apartment is small, the conditions are considered good.

After all, that house in Zhongzhou is still unfinished, and this big shot just moves in with a few pieces of furniture.

They don't care at all.

After being busy for so many days, all she wanted was to take a relaxing bath and get a good night's sleep.

A seven-star hotel is her true home.

Why earn money if not for enjoyment?
……

The next day, in the flower room of the Qin residence.

"Master, yesterday was the graduation assessment for the Rong family's training program. News came from the Feng family that Jiang Li and Master Rong are very close, and Master Rong intends for Jiang Li to inherit her mantle." Butler Qin handed over a warm towel.

Even though Master Rong isn't at the very top of the pyramid, his influence in the capital is still considerable.

He has many influential people in Zhongzhou who support Master Rong.

Old Master Qin paused for a moment, put down the scissors, took the towel to wipe his hands, and said, "You've kept it well hidden."

The best information in Beicheng is in the hands of a few families at the very top of the pyramid.

The Qin, Wen, Xie, and Feng families, in particular, control the most resources, with the Qin family at the forefront.

But no one knew about the relationship between Jiang Li and Rong Xiu.

"Master, what are your plans for handling the matter between the eldest young master and Jiang Li?" Butler Qin followed the old man to the sofa.

Old Master Qin sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "What, do you think I should re-evaluate Jiang Li?"

Butler Qin glanced at him, roughly guessed his thoughts, and replied, "Jiang Li is no match for Miss Bai Zhi."

The Qin family wields absolute power in the northern part of the city.

But there's always something beyond that.

The old man's goal is the Central Continent of the Outer Heavens.

The power in Zhongzhou is controlled by the "Five Alliances and One Xiamen".

"One building" refers to the gray building, which plays a pivotal role in Central Continent and has a formidable armed force.

Many families that are affiliated with the Five Alliances are just pretentious and that's why they fawn over Rong Xiu.

What the outside world doesn't know is that the Gray Building has veto power over any decision made by Zhongzhou.

The Grey Building is the true hub of Central Continent.

Bai Zhi is undergoing training at the Gray Building. After she returns to Beicheng and gains experience for a few years, she will definitely be transferred back to the Gray Building headquarters in Zhongzhou to take up an important position.

If the Qin family wants to gain a foothold in the center of power in Zhongzhou, winning over Bai Zhi is the fastest shortcut.

As for Jiang Li, she doesn't even qualify to be compared to Bai Zhi.

He had investigated Jiang Li and found that during the year he was boycotted in China and stayed in Zhongzhou, he worked as a stunt double to make a living.

They can be described as powerless and vulnerable people from the bottom of society.

Butler Qin had no doubt that, if necessary, the old master would deal with Jiang Li. Even if Rong Xiu valued her, it wouldn't make a difference.

The Qin family's rise to power was not honorable; it was a bloody one, achieved through the bloodshed of Old Master Qin in his youth.

People like them, who are used to speaking with real swords and spears, look down on people like Yung Sau who flaunt their art in peacetime.

Rong Xiu's advantages in front of others were utterly insignificant in Old Master Qin's eyes.

The old man wanted to deal with Jiang Li, but Rong Xiu's arrival was useless.

Old Master Qin smiled and took a sip of tea. "Let's send someone to keep an eye on Jiang Li for now, and get all her information from the hacker alliance."

There are many ways to solve a problem, and a person also has many weaknesses.

At his age, he doesn't want to see blood unless absolutely necessary.

"I'll arrange it right away," said Butler Qin.

……

The next day.

After having breakfast, Jiang Li took Qin Yexiao's car to the First Hospital of Beicheng.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Song Qing and Qi Zhixia were already waiting in the corridor.

"Aren't you going to be on set today?" Jiang Li asked. The crew that Song Qing was in charge of makeup and styling for didn't have a day off today.

Song Qing said softly, "I took half a day off. If there's anything urgent on set, my assistant will call me."

Jiang nodded.

Qi Zhixia wore a white cardigan with Chinese knot buttons, her long hair casually tied behind her head, and leaned against the wall.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li, you're trending again." She smiled and turned the phone screen towards her.

Jiang Li saw the ninth trending topic on the hot search list.

#A G-Class and Land Rover convoy racing in the rain on Taibai Road#
Qi Zhixia watched the video and found that it was taken by someone's drone before the street light system was hacked.

A number of black vehicles sped across the road, kicking up rainwater.

The visuals are quite impressive.

Jiang Li: "..."

Too lazy to care.

Xu Chuang will handle speeding tickets.

This trending topic probably won't last more than two minutes before Qin Yexiao's side drags it away and kills it.

Three women entered the ward.

Qi Zhixia pulled up a chair and sat down to take Song Wei's pulse on the hospital bed.

As before, Jiang Li leaned against the wall by the door, playing with a cigarette in his hand, but not smoking it.

The pristine white hospital room made her aura appear even more distant and indifferent.

Ten minutes later, Qi Zhixia moved her hand away: "The same as always."

Song Qing's slightly constricted pupils relaxed, and the fact that they remained unchanged was already reassuring.

After checking all of Song Wei's physical functions and reviewing all vital sign data, Qi Zhixia confirmed that everything was normal and put down the documents.

“Master’s lab is developing a new drug, which should be very effective when used in conjunction with surgery.” She turned around and looked at Jiang Li.

Song Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. "Sister Zhixia, you mean... my brother has a chance to wake up?"

Qi Zhixia nodded.

Jiang Liyan broke the sword and clenched it in her hand, staring at her: "What are the odds?"

"I'll discuss the treatment plan with Master and Second Senior Brother after I meet them," Qi Zhixia said, then added a dash of cold water: "But don't get your hopes up too high, or I'll disappoint you."

Song Qing hummed in agreement, her eyes slightly moist. "Even if he doesn't wake up, I'd be content if he could hold on a little longer."

Qi Zhixia patted her on the shoulder.

After finishing her business, she said to Jiang Li, "I'm leaving now. Contact me if you need anything."

She pulled a crumpled plastic bag from her backpack, which contained several white plastic bottles.

Give it to Jiang Li.

"You asked me to make the traditional Chinese medicine for Old Master Yu before, you can handle it as you see fit." Qi Zhixia knew about the messy affairs of the Yu family, but she had already made the medicine.

A year's worth!
Although she received the money, she was so worried about Jiang Li that she couldn't sleep at night!

Jiang Li took the medicine, squinted at it, and glanced at the pile of medicine, seemingly thinking about how to deal with it.

Qi Zhixia zipped up her backpack, slung it over her shoulder, and waved, "I'm off, Mr. Li."

Jiang Li hummed in agreement.

Song Qing replaced all the flowers in the ward with fresh ones and chatted with Song Wei for a while.

Jiang Li and Song Qing left the hospital around lunchtime.

……

Grandpa Yu was discharged from the hospital today.

Mr. and Mrs. Yu Rong and Mr. and Mrs. Chu Chengzhang both came to pick them up.

"Grandpa, the doctor said you're recovering very quickly this time, and all your health indicators are much better than before." Yu Xuanchen followed the old man out of the elevator.

Grandpa Yu didn't look at the test results, but he could definitely feel that he felt much better and could walk more easily.

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Your engagement to Yan Yan is a great joy for the family. The old man is happy, and his health is recovering quickly."

Grandpa Yu thought of the traditional Chinese medicine that Jiang Li had given him before.

His health has recovered so well now; the traditional Chinese medicine must have played a significant role.

Yu Rong looked at Yu Xuanchen and Chu Yan: "Now that you're engaged, you need to be more composed. Your grandfather would prefer to see four generations living together."

The Yu family now has a considerable fortune and also values ​​having offspring.

Chu Yan smiled demurely and said, "I understand, Dad."

Yu Rong nodded.

At that moment, the elevator doors next to it also opened.

Yu Rong glanced inside and paused when he saw the person coming out.

Chu Chengzhang and Yan Wei's expressions immediately darkened.

Chu Yan concealed the coldness in her eyes, smiled gently, and called out, "Sister."

Madam Yu clenched her fingers, her expression unreadable.

She couldn't bring herself to fawn over Jiang Li, nor did she dare to give Jiang Li the cold shoulder as she used to.

Regarding pleading for Chu Yan, Old Master Yu originally wanted to personally apologize to Jiang Li.

I never expected to run into her at the hospital today.

Grandpa Yu looked at Jiang Li with concern, "Li Li, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Li smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "I've come to see someone."

Unlike before, when I treated Mr. Yu with respect, familiarity, and casualness, now all that remained was indifference and coldness.

Grandpa Yu felt a lump in his throat.

Yan Wei said sarcastically, "You come to the hospital to visit others, but don't you know how to pay a visit to Elder Yu? Jiang Li, do you have any manners? Don't you know how to respect your elders!"

Jiang Li scoffed, putting his hands in his trench coat pockets. "Who do you think you are, to talk to me about manners?"

"Jiang Li! You..."

Grandpa Yu frowned and glanced at Yan Wei: "Shut up!"

Chu Chengzhang tugged at Yan Wei forcefully and scolded, "What did you say!"

Caught off guard, Yan Wei stumbled as her high heels were pulled.

Chu Yan quickly steadied her, pursed her lips slightly, and gave Chu Chengzhang a dissatisfied look.

Chu Chengzhang only had eyes for Jiang Li, and his tone was unusually gentle: "Lili, don't argue with your aunt, she doesn't know how to talk."

Jiang Li had no patience to listen to their nonsense and was about to leave with Song Qing.

Yu Rong called out to her, "Lili, your grandfather is being discharged from the hospital today. We've prepared a banquet at home. Why don't you bring your friends over for a meal?"

Jiang Li was quite annoyed to hear several people calling her "Li Li" repeatedly.

She smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping over Madam Yu and Chu Chengzhang's family.

He spoke slowly and deliberately: "Not everything deserves to eat at the same table with me."

The group of people's faces instantly turned pale and then red.
