A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

Xia He returned to her dormitory, her cheeks still warm from the intoxication.

"You're back, our busy lady and scandal heroine?" A cheerful, clear voice came from the desk by the window.

The speaker was Xia He's roommate, Su Yingrou.

She was holding her phone, the screen's light illuminating her pretty face, which held a mischievous smile.

Unlike her sister Su Yingxue, who possesses a cool and capable demeanor, Su Yingrou is more like a piece of unpolished warm jade, with curved eyebrows and eyes that reveal a girl's liveliness and cunning.

Xia He was able to get an internship at the Su Group because Su Yingrou mentioned it to her sister.

"Yingrou, what did you say?" Xia He put down her bag and walked towards her bed, somewhat puzzled.

"Still pretending to be stupid?" Su Yingrou shook her phone, her tone extremely exaggerated.

"The campus walls are exploding! 'Shocking! Business School's campus belle Xia He is escorted home by a mysterious man at the school gate, suspected to be her boyfriend! The protector takes decisive action, slapping Chen Xuan, who was harassing her!' Wow, the headline is explosive, and there are already hundreds of comments below!"

"Quickly, tell me, who is that mysterious man? What does he look like? Is he tall? Is he handsome? How do they know each other? How did he manage to take care of that scoundrel Chen Xuan?"

A barrage of questions left Xia He dizzy and disoriented. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and the heat reached her ears.

"W-what boyfriend! Don't listen to their nonsense! That's... my colleague! He helped me a lot today, so I treated him to dinner to thank him, and he just gave me a ride home!"

"Colleague? From the Su Group?" Su Yingrou's eyes lit up even more. She jumped up from her chair and moved closer to Xia He like a curious kitten.

"Which department are you from? I've never seen you before. Someone who could get your beautiful Xia to make an exception and treat you to dinner alone, and who could slap Chen Xuan so hard he flew through the air—oh wait, there were two slaps in the video, and Chen Xuan and his henchman were lying on the ground—this can't be just an ordinary colleague! Confess!"

Xia He was forced to take a half step back by Su Yingrou, so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"He's really just a colleague! He's from the strategic investment department. He really helped me a lot today. If it weren't for him, I might have lost my job, not to mention..."

She thought of the 100,000 yuan prize money, but felt that saying it would be like showing off, so she swallowed it back.

"It's the strategic investment department again!" Su Yingrou tilted her head and thought for a moment, remembering the person Gong Yichu had mentioned a few days ago.

She suddenly lowered her voice and mysteriously nudged Xia He's arm, "Hey, she's done you such a big favor, you wouldn't have already fallen for her and started flirting with her, would you?"

"Oh dear! What nonsense are you talking about!" Xia He was both embarrassed and anxious, and gently pushed Su Yingrou.

"He's just a very nice and loyal person. Today at the company, he even helped me get rid of Minister Sun, who was bullying me... We're really just ordinary colleagues and friends!"

"Just a regular colleague and friend~"

Su Yingrou imitated Xia He's tone, drawing out the words.

"Look at how red your face is, your eyes are darting around, and your words are evasive—you're definitely hiding something! Xia He has rejected so many boys in her life that you could circle the track three times. When have you ever been so protective of a regular colleague?"

When Su Yingrou pointed it out, she became even more embarrassed. Knowing that the more she explained, the less clear things would become, she simply turned around and tidied up her desk, which didn't need tidying.

But thinking about that bastard Chen Xuan, Ye Heng might get into trouble for offending him.

She then looked at Su Yingrou and asked, "Xiaorou, that scumbag Chen Xuan definitely won't let this go. Ye Heng only got into trouble with him because he brought me back. What if Chen Xuan causes him trouble? His family seems to be quite powerful..."

Seeing that Xia He was genuinely worried, Su Yingrou's joking expression softened, and she pouted:

"Chen Xuan? His dad, Linde Construction Materials, is nothing compared to our Su family. He can only act arrogantly at school because his family has some money. But you're right, that guy is petty and loves his reputation. He made such a fool of himself in public today, he must be up to no good."

She walked over to Xia He and put her arm around her shoulder: "If he really runs into trouble, just tell him to contact my sister. Since he works for our company, my sister will definitely protect him!"

Hearing this, Xia He felt much more at ease.

Chen Xuan returned home seeing his shameful act on the school wall on the way home.

He was a well-known young master at Jinling University, yet he made such a huge blunder!

How is he supposed to pick up girls now?

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Dehai, the father, frowned and asked, noticing a prominent handprint on his son's face, "What happened to your face?"

Chen Xuan said indignantly, "Dad, I was beaten up at the school gate last night! You have to stand up for me!"

Chen Dehai put down his teacup, knowing what kind of person his son was. He was always the one who provoked others, when did it become someone else's turn to provoke him? Had he run into a tough nut to crack?

He asked, "What trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

"I didn't cause any trouble!" Chen Xuan retorted stubbornly.

"It was a guy who was getting really close to Xia He. I couldn't stand it and said a few words to him, and he attacked me! He slapped me and Zhao Peng across the face, and we were both knocked to the ground. So many classmates saw it, how could I possibly save face like that!"

Chen Dehai asked in a deep voice, "Who is that person? What's his name?"

"She said she's Xia He's colleague, apparently from the Su Group..." Chen Xuan's voice lowered.

"The Su Group?" Chen Dehai's expression changed, and his tone suddenly became stern.

"You dare to mess with the Su Group? Do you even know what kind of background the Su family has? What are Linde Building Materials in their eyes? You're a good-for-nothing who only knows how to be jealous and cause trouble! How did I give birth to a son like you!"

Chen Xuan was so humiliated by the scolding that he couldn't lift his head, but he still retorted, "But you can't just take the beating for nothing..."

"You dare talk back!" Chen Dehai slammed his hand on the table.

"Starting today, I'm suspending your bank card! You'd better focus on your studies, and if you dare cause trouble again, I'll break your legs!"

Seeing that his father was truly angry, Chen Xuan dared not utter another word and turned to go upstairs dejectedly.

Watching his son's retreating figure as he went upstairs, Chen Dehai sat back down on the sofa with a gloomy expression.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. Although he was cursing fiercely, his son was, after all, his own flesh and blood. How could he easily swallow the insult of being slapped in public by an outsider?

"No matter how good my son is, I can only discipline him myself; it's not up to outsiders to do it."

He muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Then, he picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Lao Wu, help me look up someone. Ye Heng from the Su Group. Yes, I need his detailed information, the sooner the better."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dehai stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
