After buying clothes, Jiang Chen returned directly to the hotel, with Xiong Sumei following him to the door of his room.
"Miss Xiong, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I need to take a shower; it's been two years since I last had one," Jiang Chen said.
"Ah, you haven't showered in two years? That can't be true!" Xiong Sumei exclaimed in disbelief.
"It's perfectly normal. I've been on the Tibet Plateau for two years. People there say they only bathe three times in their lifetime," Jiang Chen replied with a smile as he opened the door. However, Xiong Sumei remained standing at the entrance.
"Miss Xiong, is there something else?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Are you really not worried about them seeking revenge?" Xiong Sumei couldn't help but ask, still concerned.
"I'm not worried. Now, please go back and rest," Jiang Chen chuckled before closing the door.
Xiong Sumei felt helpless. After what had just happened, she suddenly became reserved around Jiang Chen, hesitating even to speak.
Once inside his room, Jiang Chen enjoyed a long soak in the bath. It had indeed been a while since he last experienced the pleasure of bathing.
Meanwhile, Xiong Sumei returned to her own room, where Chen Shuifeng, Qian Wenwu, and others soon gathered.
"I found out that Jin Shengkai's backer is Zhao Weiqian, the Underground Boss of Southwest Province. No wonder he was so fearless and didn't care about our reputation. That kid who got involved with Jin Shengkai will probably have a hard time tomorrow," Qian Wenwu said as soon as he arrived.
"The Underground Boss of Southwest Province isn't Feng Laowu? I've heard of him before," Xiong Sumei remarked.
"Feng Laowu died over two years ago; I heard he was murdered. After that, Zhao Weiqian became the Underground Leader of Southwest Province. Now he dominates the entire Underground World there. Anyone who crosses such a big shot is bound to be in trouble. Xiong Sumei, I think you should prepare ten million for compensation tomorrow and let that kid's situation be," Qian Wenwu advised.
"What are you talking about? He got into trouble with Jin Shengkai to save me; how can I just ignore it?" Xiong Sumei replied firmly.
"He's overestimating himself; he probably thought it would win your favor. Xiong Sumei, you aren't thinking of returning his feelings, are you? As a man, I understand men's thoughts. That kid has likely been dreaming about you for a while now; he just got an opportunity to show off," Qian Wenwu warned seriously.
"You're overthinking it. Alright, I'm going to sleep now; we can talk more tomorrow," Xiong Sumei said as she ushered them out. Their persistent bias against Jiang Chen left her feeling somewhat displeased.
"We're doing this for your own good; pretend you don't know that kid tomorrow so you won't get dragged down with him." Even after closing the door, she could still hear Qian Wenwu's well-meaning words.
However, Xiong Sumei couldn't shake her worries about Zhao Weiqian backing Jin Shengkai.
Just then, her phone rang unexpectedly. When she saw the caller ID, her spirits lifted.
It was Liu Pingping, her business partner from the Liu Family in Southwest Province—an influential family with extensive connections. Liu Pingping surely knew Zhao Weiqian; if she could get Liu Pingping involved, perhaps they could resolve this conflict.
"Hello, Manager Liu," Xiong Sumei answered politely.
"Miss Xiong, I was in Tianfu City last month but didn't get a chance to meet you due to my tight schedule. Are you free tomorrow evening? I'm heading back to Tianfu City and thought we could have dinner together," Liu Pingping suggested with a smile.
