A group of people sat in a top-tier private room at Sheng Hao Yu Jing. A few minutes before the meal began, Shen Jingyu went next door to take a shower. Rong Xigu, looking particularly disheveled, also wanted to go but was firmly prohibited by the girl beside him.
"Just finish your meal first. I'll help you clean up later tonight! You can't let your wounds touch water!"
Su Xing pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Rong Xigu, "Can Shen Jingyu's wounds touch water too?"
Rong Xigu replied without hesitation, "He'll be careful! He can recover faster than I can!"
Su Xing thought to himself that this man was indeed deceiving him! If he didn't ask, would Shen Jingyu still be planning to avoid him tonight? Would he wait until his wounds were completely healed before meeting him again?
Su Xing clearly couldn't sit still any longer! At that moment, Mu Beiming helpfully announced a room number: it was his exclusive suite, located at the very end of the corridor on the left!
Su Xing jumped up abruptly, "You all eat and drink first! I'll come back later!"
He hurried over and discovered that Shen Jingyu's door was secured with a code lock, which meant he had no defenses against him. Su Xing input the code and rushed inside.
Sure enough, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom! Without a second thought, Su Xing opened the door and walked in!
As expected, Shen Jingyu stood there with eyes as dark as black grapes, frozen in place. Su Xing unabashedly scanned Shen Jingyu's bare body from head to toe. There were many scars, but they seemed to have scabbed over; they didn’t look like fresh wounds at all.
Shen Jingyu stood there facing Su Xing directly. Although it was somewhat awkward, Su Xing didn’t hesitate to rush over, turning him around to examine his back! There were no serious injuries at all.
Rong Xigu had definitely lied on purpose. When Su Xing emerged from the private room, someone inside had already sensed the scheming atmosphere.
Mu Beiming immediately asked, "Is it true? Did you specifically help someone out?"
Rong Xigu coughed subtly and replied, "We're all men here! Those who understand will understand! I'll instruct the kitchen; be ready for anything tonight!"
In a certain room, Su Xing looked around thoroughly, and when she finally decided to leave, she found herself unable to do so. Shen Jingyu had already been watching her, his breathing becoming heavy. The most outrageous part was that this woman dared to openly scrutinize his body without any pretense.
Eager? Missing me?
At times like this, Shen Jingyu's words seemed particularly blunt.
Su Xing felt her wrist being grabbed, and before she knew it, she was pulled under the showerhead. In just a few moments, the heavy garments she wore were stripped away.
After a long separation, it felt like a newlywed reunion; Su Xing was undoubtedly a little lamb willingly stepping into the wolf's den.
As expected, Su Xing did not go out for dinner.
Two hours later, after Shen Jingyu had finished his meal, he heard the sounds of several people drinking in the private room and casually pushed the door open to enter.
Rong Xigu had been expressly forbidden from drinking, and with only Lu Xiangyi present among them, Rong Xigu worried that Shen Jingyu might find it dull if he stayed too long. So after finishing their meal, he took him out early.
They rested in their exclusive room. Rong Xigu helped out his good brother but wouldn’t neglect himself either! That night, Lu Xiangyi's hands and mouth would surely face some consequences.
When Shen Jingyu entered, the few people there were already somewhat tipsy.
Nangong Ye was the most talkative: "Oh wow, I thought you wouldn't come out tonight! What's wrong? Did you lose your fighting spirit on the battlefield? Is your combat ability lacking in that area?"
Boys shouldn’t discuss men’s matters! Shen Jingyu had eaten and drunk enough! Su Xing was asleep and wouldn’t wake up anytime soon; it was fine for him to join them for a couple of drinks!
Mu Beiming briefly recounted some recent events.
That Mu Zhendong, my uncle, seems to have lost all sense of decorum! How could he say such things to you!
He’s becoming increasingly unpresentable! Mu Beiming actually felt it was unfair for Shen Jingyu; if Shen Jingyu were to engage with Mu Zhendong, Mu Beiming would feel disgusted on his behalf!
Shen Jingyu didn’t dwell much on that man but instead mentioned that the situation outside wasn’t looking good lately.
Is something going on? If you need my help, just say the word; my duke status is always at your service!
Shi Shao had already elevated his own status. He realized that since he met Shen Jingyu while studying abroad as a child, his position had always been to serve as a brother.
In your country and in Western Country's realm, there is an undeveloped forest area. Help me check if there are any signs of life there!
Who? Is it worth searching for someone like that?
Shen Jingyu hesitated for a long time before finally saying: "I suspect my father is there! And possibly also Su Xing's father!"
Is this a clue from Zhan Ying? Could it be a false lead to confuse you? Mu Beiming probably knows some of the details behind this!
Shen Jingyu shook his head heavily. He hadn't smoked in a long time, but it seemed he had been lighting up more frequently lately. Amidst the smoke, a cautious expression appeared on his handsome face. I could instinctively tell that they should still be alive!
A member of the Zhan family was also searching. Time was of the essence now! My father and the others must have crucial clues in their hands! After lying low for so long, what exactly were they concerned about? This was something Shen Jingyu seemed unaware of.
Sigh! Perhaps I should go home tomorrow and ask Shen Laoyezi! He definitely knows! Wasn't he the one who tricked you into going home by saying he would tell you about Mi Ton in person?
Just like that, you did it too; he wanted you to take his place. The effort to eliminate that gang took so much time and resources, and now there were some achievements. If all goes well, you could uproot them by the end of the year!
Now would be the perfect time to ask him for answers, right? Nan Gong Ye's thoughts were more straightforward; if it were him, he would have already grabbed them by the throat to get answers.
Of course, Shen Jingyu wasn't one to hesitate either. He just had more comprehensive considerations! He must have great respect for his grandfather! Sometimes giving orders is easy, but adhering to those orders for a lifetime requires a belief in one's heart!
This matter couldn't be discussed too deeply. After a brief discussion about Deng Xiaoya's condition, everyone returned to rest.
Shen Jingyu had never expressed gratitude to these few people over the years. Recently, he felt the importance of friends and thought about imitating Su Xing, who had once taught him how to express himself.
"Brothers, regarding my mother’s situation, you’ve all worked hard, and I’m very grateful! Also, Su Xing, Mu Beiming, you've both put in a lot of effort during this time."
His friends all wore shocked expressions. Was this really their once cold-hearted friend? Although they knew he had feelings inside, he had never openly said it before!
Truly a sight to behold! Nan Gong Ye was the first to comment.
"Shi Shao: No need to mention it! You’ll need our help plenty in the future! Next time, try a different way of expressing your thanks; I’d be even more surprised!"
Mu Beiming added, "Boss, just continuing to help me make money is the best way to show gratitude! Don’t say things like this again; it’s unusual for you and gives me quite a scare!"
