She hid in the backyard, sat on the seat, and smoked anxiously to calm herself down. She felt she shouldn't stay here, even though Nan Shiye feared the power of the Shen family. If she stayed here, something like today would happen again. She must go to this appointment. She didn't want to involve the Shen family. The internal struggles of the Shen family were intense, and the Shen Group's shareholders' meeting was approaching next month. If Nan Shiye intervened at this moment, the Shen family would face a difficult situation. Although Jiang Nan didn't say a word today, she had long wanted to bring Shen Tingsi down, so she could take control of the Shen family. She couldn't avoid this appointment; Nan Shiye had been eyeing her for a long time.
Cigarette butts littered the ground. After sorting out her thoughts, she thought of the two maids she had questioned today, Mingyue and Xiaoyu. The stolen ruby earring was actually something she had said on purpose. In the Shen family, each bedroom is cleaned by specific individuals, and only designated cleaners are allowed on the second floor. Newcomers to the Shen family are not permitted to go upstairs.
Mingyue and Xiaoyu are responsible for cleaning her bedroom. She also sees them in her daily life and gradually remembers their appearances, paying attention to them. Mingyue is jealous of Xiaoyu for being praised by Uncle Yuan for her serious work, and she is more capable than her. On the contrary, Mingyue is lazy and often mocks Xiaoyu behind her back. Mingyue is vain and likes to buy luxury goods. If someone offers her money to do something, she might accept it. Xiaoyu's family is poor, and her father is in the hospital needing money for treatment.
Since they are the closest people to the bedroom, the note could have been placed by one of them. So she pretends that her earring is missing, deliberately searches her bag, puts the earring in the bag, and then questions them. When she mentions going to prison, they become honest. Mingyue directly mentions the incident of Xiao Minghua lurking at her bedroom door. Jiang Xunzhi immediately investigates the video from that day. The timing matches, but the video feels obviously edited. At this point, she focuses her attention on Xiao Minghua.
Jiang Xunzhi crushes the cigarette and walks straight in. Back in the living room, she sees Xiaoyu and Mingyue standing in the middle. She says, "Uncle Yuan, give Xiaoyu tens of thousands of yuan, put it on my account, and give her this month's salary. Mingyue, leave immediately."
Mingyue said indignantly, "Miss, the earrings were planted by Xiao Minghua to frame me. Didn't you just find out that she is a thief?"
"I deliberately said that you took the earrings just to see your reaction. You did speak the truth, but you haven't finished. Only specific people can go to the second floor. Since you saw Xiao Minghua go upstairs, why didn't you tell me? Because she bribed you not to tell me. When I searched your wardrobe, I saw many luxury items. Can you afford so many luxury items with your monthly salary? Do you have a clear conscience? If you want evidence, I have it." Jiang Xunzhi asserted with authority, speaking coldly, "Today, I'll say it directly. I know you've been badmouthing me behind my back. Today, you also saw your master's attitude. You should be very clear about who I am, so you better show me some respect."
She walked up to Xiaoyu, sincerely apologized to her, and explained the whole situation. After hearing the reason, Xiaoyu received 50,000 yuan and immediately stopped crying. She even happily said that she would continue to serve Jiang Xunzhi in the future.
Shen Yunfan sent a message to Shen Lan about her father's condition: "Dad is out of danger but still in a coma."
"You should have this medicine tested," Jiang Xunzhi sent a photo of the medicine to Shen Yunfan, "I suspect this medicine cannot treat the chairman's lung disease."
She cut the medicine in half, gave one half to Uncle Yuan to personally deliver to Shen Yunfan, and kept the other half for herself.
A few days later, Jiang Xunzhi dismissed the Shen family bodyguards and drove alone to the Carousel Coffee Shop. As soon as she entered the shop, a man personally greeted her and took her to the adjacent high-end club in the building. The guests here were either politicians, tycoons, or members of the underworld. The man led her to the front desk and whispered something to the receptionist. After a while, the receptionist escorted her to the door of the deluxe room on the 8th floor of 2008: "Miss, here you are." Jiang Xunzhi stood in front of the door, opened it, and heard a man's voice from inside: "Ah, spare me, Mr. Nan, I will definitely repay the money." The man was kneeling on the ground like a dog, with blood on his hands.
"Tomorrow, I will make my wife go out and sell, no matter what, I will pay off the gambling debt."
The man with a machete walked straight towards the man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, grabbed his head and pressed it against the tiles, saying fiercely, "Selling your wife, do you still deserve to be called a human?" The machete pierced his hand, "How can you spend the organization's money in vain? Otherwise, we'll leave your hand behind."
Jiang Xunzhi Looked at seven or eight tough guys standing straight on both sides in the room, with pistols at their waists, and a man sitting on the central sofa, embracing two alluring women.
"It's more suitable for you to cut off your fingers one by one." Jiang Xunzhi glanced sideways, listening to the person's miserable screams, and coldly said, "Playing with people for fun, like a madman. Whether you talk or not, I'm leaving." The man took off his wig, revealing his original red hair: "I was just getting into it, and now is really not the time." His henchman handed him a handkerchief, and he wiped the blood off his hands. The man sitting on the sofa took the initiative to stand up and bow.
"Drag the person down." Nan Shiye leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, a beautiful woman on his left holding a glass of wine to feed him, and he affectionately said, "You made me wait a long time. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little, haha."
Jiang Xunzhi asked, "What deal did you make with Shen Siyi?"
Nan Shiye replied, "To obtain information, you also have to give something in exchange."
Jiang Xunzhi took out 500 yuan and placed it on the table. When Nan Shiye saw it, he burst into laughter.
"Are you teasing me?" he asked.
She replied solemnly, "No."
Nan Shiye said, "I've been asking around, and without fifty thousand, I won't be able to get it. Do you have the money?"
Jiang Xunzhi had used the money from selling paintings to pay for his grandmother's hospital fees, bought a house for a few million, donated some to the welfare home, and paid off the loan Wan Qingran borrowed online. She only had a few hundred thousand left, but she had a black card given to her by Shen Tingsi.
She took out the black card and said, "Fifty thousand, pay by card."
Nan Shiye laughed heartily, "This is obviously from Shen Tingsi. He's about to marry you."
The younger brother beside him said, "President, the money has been received."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "Tell me, what deal did you make with Shen Siyi?"
Nan Shiye Holding a cigarette in his hand, he exhales smoke and says, "She just sold me a jade pendant, priced at 30 million."
She opens her phone album, shows him a photo of the jade pendant, and asks, "Is it this one?"
He casually glances at it and says, "It's this one."
The jade pendant is hanging at the front door of Jiang Xunzhi's house.
"When he sold it to you, there was a key hanging on the jade pendant. Where is that key now?"
Nan Shiye said coldly, "I have already answered your question."
Stand up, walk straight towards her, look her in the eye, stand in front of her, embrace her slender waist, leisurely smell her hair, and softly say in her ear, "Your waist is really slim." She coldly laughs, pushes him away with a palm to his chest, and he sits on the sofa. When he turns around, Jiang Xunzhi has already aimed a gun at his head, and the others also pull out their guns and aim at Jiang Xunzhi. "Speak nicely, and don't move a muscle," Jiang Xunzhi warns him.
Nan Shiye revealed a mysterious smile. This was the first time a woman had pointed a gun at him and spoken so forcefully. Even her shooting posture was faster than that of a trained person. He was starting to become infatuated with her.
Jiang Xunzhi's hair fell on his face. He caressed her hair and took a sniff, saying, "It smells so good, just like you." Then he reached for her hand holding the gun, his fingertips teasing her.
Suddenly, there was a bang, and the bullet pierced through the sofa, lodging itself in the base.
Jiang Xunzhi said, "Next time, I will make your head bloom directly."
As soon as the words fell, Nan Shiye quickly grabbed the pistol, held her left hand, kicked high, kicked the gun out of his hand, and then prioritized speed to snatch it back, immediately firing two shots in front of his feet.
Nan Shiye chuckled, "You can't bear to kill me."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "After all, you are still useful to me."
Nan Shiye said, "I really like you more and more, darling. Yu Chuan, prepare a room for her to stay next to mine."
"I didn't say I want to stay here."
"Don't you want to know the key? If you want to know, you have to spend some time with me."
"How long is 'some time'?"
"At least a month."
At the end of next month, the Shen Group shareholders' meeting will be held. As long as I know what I want to know, I don't care how long it takes.
"Okay."
Nan Shiye said happily, "Let's take you around first, how about that?"
Two people in front, subordinates following behind.
As people pass by the corridor, they all respectfully greet Nan Shiye with "Hello, President." At this moment, a female student in school uniform with disheveled hair looks back unsteadily. Jiang Xunzhi sees that she is barefoot, her clothes are askew, and there are urgent footsteps approaching from behind. It is clear that the student is being chased. The girl quickly looks for the way downstairs, crying in distress. The person behind her reaches out and grabs her hair, saying menacingly, "Why are you running? Your father has sold you to serve Mr. Li. Hurry back."
The girl struggled hard and cried for help, "That's my father's gambling debt, not mine. I want to go home, I want to go back."
The man said fiercely, "A daughter should bear the consequences of her father's debt. It's only natural. If you want to blame someone, blame your gambling father who abandoned his wife and daughter."
The girl broke free from his grasp and saw Nan Shiye not far away. She ran to him and knelt down, pleading, "Boss, please save me. I'm still in school, I don't want to stay here."
Nan Shiye was indifferent: "How do you treat people? Take this person back."
The girl grabbed his trouser leg, her eyes full of despair, pleading: "Boss, please have mercy. I will work to pay you back."
Nan Shiye looked coldly at her, looking displeased: "You are working by accompanying guests now. Hurry up and take this person away."
The girl was being dragged and refused to let go. Jiang Xunzhi felt uncomfortable seeing her like this and couldn't bear it in his heart. He said softly, "Let her go, she's still a student."
"Do you want to redeem her?" Nan Shiye sneered. "Yu Chuan, how much does she owe us?"
Yu Chuan replied, "Seventy million."
Nan Shiye said, "70 million, how do you want to pay?"
Jiang Xunzhi said, "First remember, I keep my word, release the person."
Nan Shiye said, "Find another lady to send to Mr. Li, keep this person with me for now."
The girl knelt in front of Jiang Xunzhi, kowtowing vigorously and saying thank you.
"You're lucky today to have met a good person. Go home and cut ties with your gambling father, or you might end up being sold by him again," Nan Shiye said with a sneer. "Hurry up and leave, or else I'll send you to work as a prostitute."
The girl was frightened and quickly ran downstairs to escape.
Nan Shiye saw her running away, laughing wildly, taking pleasure in others' misfortune had become his norm.
The entire building belonged to the Four Square Club. The higher up you went, the higher the status of the people inside. The top floor was, of course, Nan Shiye's residence. Last time she and Shen Yunfan came to this building, they met Nan Shiye on the 22nd floor and as they left, they saw someone smoking through a crack.
Nan Shiye and Jiang Xunzhi entered the elevator and headed straight for the top floor.
Standing at a high place, overlooking everything, a cool breeze gently passes by. Jiang Xunzhi looks down at everything around, this position can take in City A at a glance, although not in the city center, standing here is like being in the next city center.
"How is it," Nan Shiye suddenly spoke.
"What?" She didn't know what he meant.
"How do you feel about this place?"
Jiang Xunzhi raised his binoculars and scanned the surroundings. In the northeast, a towering building with the four characters "the Shen Group" stood out. Although it's not in a prime location, the development potential is enormous. There's a shopping mall next door, and a little further ahead is a sports stadium. If we can attract some real estate developers and create recreational facilities, this area could easily become the next commercial paradise.
"The development prospects are very promising. Do you have any ideas?"
"I want to buy up all the surrounding land and turn it into the the Nan family industry."
"You might not be able to handle this alone, and land acquisition requires bidding. With so many people eyeing this land, do you think you can secure it?"
"Haha, no problem. I've already talked to the government officials. After all, we have a cooperative relationship."
Jiang Xunzhi Suddenly felt a twitch in her brain. How could she not have realized that as a gang leader who straddles both sides of the law, he couldn't thrive without connections to officials.
Shortly after, Nan Shiye led her to the room where she would be staying. As they entered, the floor-to-ceiling windows and the pendant lights caught her eye. The space was huge, big enough for two people to live comfortably.
As soon as she stepped into the room and the door closed, Nan Shiye pulled her into his arms and effortlessly hoisted her over his shoulder towards the bedroom. Jiang Xunzhi knew that he had ill intentions, and she struggled to break free, but he wouldn't let go. Upon reaching the bedroom, he threw her onto the bed and quickly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a sinister smirk.
"I haven't met a woman I couldn't get yet."
As he took off his upper clothes, he reached for her foot, but Jiang Xunzhi lifted her other foot and kicked him in the face. He quickly got off the bed, and Nan Shiye blocked her way.
Seeing his face now, Jiang Xunzhi wanted to kill him. "You're out of your mind. You're asking for trouble."
She kicked him again, but he dodged it. She then punched him in the chest, and followed up with a hit to his lower abdomen, causing him to fall onto the bed in pain.
"If you want to touch me there, just say it. It's not like I won't let you," she said, even in such pain.
"I said you must be punished." Jiang Xunzhi saw nothing around to use, so he focused on the belt around his waist, took it off, and whipped him on the back. Immediately, a red mark appeared, followed by five more welts. The pain was so intense that he couldn't stand up straight. He intended to strike him again, but Nan Shiye caught the belt, pulled it, and fell to the ground, ending up between his legs, where she grabbed him again. Jiang Xunzhi spoke coldly, "Believe me, I can make sure your family line ends with you." She exerted more force, causing him unbearable pain.
Nan Shiye said, "I won't touch you, keep your hands off."
Jiang Xunzhi was afraid that if she let go, he would change his mind, so she punched him, causing him to fall down, and took the opportunity to leave the bedroom, resting in the living room until Nan Shiye came out.
She directly asked, "Do you still have the key on you? What do you want with that jade pendant?"
Nan Shiye wrapped in a half-body bath towel, sitting beside her, "Not even letting people rest for a moment."
A knife held to his neck, "I don't have the patience to wait for you."
Nan Shiye said, "I threw away the key long ago, it's no use to me. The jade pendant is not what I wanted, it's what you wanted."
She suddenly stopped breathing. Wasn't that Wan Qingran? Why did Wan Qingran want that jade pendant? What kind of deal were she and Nan Shiye making, and what was that medicine? Jiang Xunzhi clearly felt that she was getting close to the truth, but now she was lost in the fog. She used to think that Wan Qingran was just an ordinary worker, but now she no longer thought so. Now, this Wan Qingran was the biggest mystery. She had really hidden herself too well, so well that even Jiang Xunzhi herself had never suspected her.
If one's own death is related to Wan Qingran, then it's not so far-fetched to think that one's soul is in her body.
He got up and took out a box from the drawer, throwing it to her, "This is the medicine you wanted, new stock." Jiang Xunzhi suspiciously opened the box and took out a bottle of potion with the words "Feng Da Xian" written on it, along with some instructions on usage, production date, shelf life. It was in a small brown bottle, definitely not meant to be exposed to light.
She didn't open it, nor did she drink it, just looked at the outer packaging.
At this moment, Nan Shiye said, "It's time for you to give me the thing."
Jiang Xunzhi was shocked. How did she know about the thing she traded with him? She pretended not to understand, and Nan Shiye immediately changed his expression, "No, you won't leave here alive today."
"I can give you the thing, but you have to be clear about what you want."
"You either pretend not to know, or you want to back out, the map of Tianji City."
The information just now has already surprised Jiang Xunzhi, and now Nan Shiye says he wants to get the map of Tianji City. At this moment, her heart is in turmoil.
Tianji City is located within the extremely secretive Nine Heavens Profound Island, which is not known to the outside world. The people on the island are proficient in martial arts and medicine. The four ancient families on the island occupy 80% of the resources, namely the Tianshui Jiang family, the Ming Palace Su family, the Youlan Shui family, and the Kongsang Si family. Their existence has a history of a thousand years.
Nine Heavens Profound Island does not allow outsiders to go to the island privately. People who go to the island must have a pass, otherwise, if discovered by the inspection team, they will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Jiang Xunzhi pretended as if nothing had happened and said, "I definitely wouldn't carry such an important thing on me."
"Heh heh," Nan Shiye snorted lightly and said, "You are not Wan Qingran."
Her heart was already in a mess, sweating cold on her back. No matter how well she acted, she couldn't hide her true self. A person's habits are hard to change. She didn't plan to pretend anymore, and decided to come clean. Jiang Xunzhi calmly asked, "How did you find out?"
Nan Shiye said, "Because she can't beat me, and also, she never puts the map in any other place, but draws it in front of me."
Directly drawing it, this method is hard for anyone else to think of.
