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

After the banquet, Ye Heng once again acted as the driver and drove home.

He parked the car steadily in the garage, leaving only the soft tapping of Su Yingxue's keyboard inside.

Throughout the journey, she remained unusually silent, focusing intently on handling the surge in follow-up work instructions resulting from the successful signing of the contract, as if the earth-shattering turmoil at the banquet earlier had nothing to do with her.

Only occasionally could Ye Heng catch a glimpse of her slightly furrowed brow in the rearview mirror.

After parking the car, Ye Heng opened the car door for Su Yingxue.

She nodded slightly, then turned off the computer and returned home.

In the villa's living room, warm-colored lights and a DVD player dispelled the chill of the night.

Su Yingxue walked to the large sofa and sat down, leaning back slightly and crossing her arms in front of her chest. This posture unintentionally outlined her graceful curves.

But her expression was more serious than ever before, her gaze sharp as she fixed on Ye Heng, who was taking off his coat and preparing to pour water.

"Ye Heng".

Ye Heng paused, turned to look at her, and said with a grin:

"Honey, did you miss me?"

Su Yingxue did not respond to his words.

"There's no one else here now."

She spoke slowly, each word clear and distinct.

"At the banquet, Wei Zong addressed you as 'Sir.' Chu Wei showed you great respect and even withdrew from the competition. As for you, you've only been with the Su family for a short time, and your official status is just that of an ordinary employee in the strategic investment department. You've always said that you come from the mountains."

Her gaze was sharp as a knife: "How could a country bumpkin like him possess such power that the leading figures of the two major powers in Jinling would treat him like this? Ye Heng, just who are you?"

The problem has finally arisen.

Ye Heng sighed inwardly, knowing that he would have to give an explanation tonight.

He walked to the single sofa opposite Su Yingxue and sat down. Instead of answering immediately, he picked up the kettle on the coffee table, slowly poured two glasses of water, and pushed one of them in front of Su Yingxue.

"I told you, I really did just come out of the mountains not long ago, I'm not lying to you about that."

Su Yingxue remained unmoved, simply watching him quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Ye Heng took a sip of water before continuing, "As for Wei Zong and Chu Wei's attitudes... it's mainly because of my medical skills."

"Medical skills?" Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by the answer, but considering his miraculous methods of reviving her grandfather Su Changhong, it seemed reasonable.

"Yes. A few years ago, Wei Zong contracted a strange illness. He visited many famous doctors, but none of them could cure him, and he was almost on the verge of death. By chance, my master and I were traveling near Jinling when we met him. It was I who took action, using an ancient acupuncture prescription passed down in our sect and a few rare mountain herbs, and pulled him back from the brink of death."

"For him, it was a life-saving grace."

After listening, Su Yingxue still had some doubts, but most of them dissipated.

She thought of her grandfather, a business tycoon who founded the Su family and brought it to great success.

It's no wonder that such a shrewd person would choose Ye Heng as her fiancé.

Su Yingxue was somewhat self-deprecating.

She had previously thought that her grandfather was senile and that she had been deceived.

It seems that I'm the one who's truly confused!

After a long while, Su Yingxue finally raised her eyes and looked at Ye Heng with a complicated expression.

"So, the reason you were willing to come to the Su family and help me is because of... my grandfather?" She asked, her thoughts stretching far ahead.

"You could say that," Ye Heng readily admitted.

"Grandpa Su saved my life back then, and the marriage was arranged by him and my master."

He looked at Su Yingxue and smiled, "At first I just wanted to make Master Su happy, but then I found out that you... aren't such an unpleasant fiancée."

The last sentence, tinged with a touch of irony, diluted the somewhat somber atmosphere that followed.

Su Yingxue's fair cheeks seemed to blush slightly, but she quickly covered it up with a light cough.

She put down the water glass and slightly relaxed her arms that were wrapped around her.

"Your master... must be an extraordinary reclusive master." She exclaimed, seemingly accepting this line of explanation.

After all, it was an undeniable fact that Ye Heng had revived her grandfather, and she had witnessed his miraculous medical skills firsthand.

If someone can teach medical skills like Ye Heng, their own medical skills are probably even more terrifying!

Ye Heng nodded, recalling the days when he went up the mountain to warm the bed.

"I see."

Su Yingxue let out a long sigh of relief, her straight back relaxed slightly, and she leaned back against the sofa, her face slightly flushed.

"I misunderstood you before. Not only at the banquet, but probably even earlier, I underestimated and misunderstood your abilities and background."

"sorry."

This apology seemed more sincere and thorough than the one given at the banquet.

Ye Heng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about it.

"It's my job to help my wife solve her problems; it's just what I should do."

Ye Heng stood up. "It's getting late, and you must be tired today. You should get some rest. Things will probably get busy starting tomorrow."

Su Yingxue watched Ye Heng's retreating figure as he walked towards her room. She stood there, her gaze still somewhat dazed.

Within the scope...

These words were like a needle, piercing a previously unexplored area of ​​her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a strong woman and never thought of finding a husband to help her.

Naturally, I have never felt this kind of care.

But today, she seemed to sense it from Ye Heng.

"It's...quite strange..."

She murmured softly.

suburbs.

In a dimly lit, abandoned factory, only a few broken light tubes overhead emitted a pale white light, barely illuminating a small area in the center.

Su Wangchuan leaned against the rusty iron frame, his fingers unconsciously clenching so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, his suit jacket was covered in dust, and his tie was crooked.

Time ticked by, and he struggled to calm himself; his heart was pounding.

He knew that once dawn broke, Su Yingxue would definitely use all of Su's resources to blacklist him. It wouldn't just be commercial isolation; the shady accounts he had handled, the company secrets he had colluded with Wei Ning to sell... any one of these would be enough to send him to prison, or even worse.

He must find a way to turn the tide before dawn.

"Da...da...da..."

Heavy footsteps came from the factory entrance, unhurried yet each step seemed to be on the beat of a heartbeat.

Su Wangchuan suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with hope.

coming!

The newcomer was a towering figure, nearly two meters tall, and exuded an imposing presence in the dim light.

He wore a black, tight-fitting vest, and on his muscular arms was tattooed a blood-red raven with outstretched wings, its eyes scarlet—the very symbol of the Night Raven Hall.

Luo Yu, the leader of the Night Raven Society.

Luo Yu stopped three steps in front of Su Wangchuan. His rugged face was expressionless, but he looked at him calmly and asked, "Wangchuan, why did you call me out so urgently? What happened?"
