"Don't let him interfere! What you want to do, I'll take care of!" Shi Shaowen said with a serious expression.
Zhu Man smiled in satisfaction. Shi Shaowen was indeed a person of deep loyalty! He cared for his brothers, just as he always had.
Meanwhile, some people nearby were enjoying the festivities, while Shi Shaowen and Zhu Man leaned over the table, whispering to each other. A young girl was plotting something, and on Shi Shaowen's face, alongside anger, there was also a willingness to be manipulated. This scene could definitely be described as bizarre.
As the night wore on and the clock struck ten-thirty, the music ended and the crowd dispersed. A pleasant life only needs beautiful interludes. Zhu Man had arranged for three high-profile patients to undergo physical examinations before finally settling down to rest.
However, just as Zhu Man lay down, an unusual alarm suddenly blared from the computer. He sat up abruptly, his eyes sharp and alert! He opened the computer to connect to a video call. On the other side was a figure cloaked in black with their face hidden, their voice altered by a voice changer.
A buzzing voice came through the computer: "Manman, how is the plan progressing?"
Zhu Man's tone was tense as he replied seriously, "It's going smoothly! Shen Jingyu has gathered information on the Gu Family."
The voice on the other end responded, "Proceed according to plan. Don't rush or act recklessly!"
Zhu Man's expression hardened: "Understood."
After closing the computer, Zhu Man gazed longingly at the moonlight outside, hoping for a smooth journey ahead.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a week had gone by. During this time, Shen Jingyu had gathered all available information about the hidden family, the Gu Family. Meanwhile, Zhu Man had completely detoxified Su Xing's body; Su Xing's complexion improved but appeared somewhat gaunt.
For Su Xing's subsequent recovery, Zhu Man entrusted it to experienced professionals. As for Shen Huai Ming and Su Bokan, they also had specialized teams working on their cases.
Seeing that it was time to take his leave, Zhu Man thought that after this step, he would no longer be able to command Shen Jingyu. However, he did not expect that this family truly lived by the saying that a drop of water should be repaid with a fountain of grace!
A few days ago, Shi Shaowen had already made arrangements on his end; with Shen Jingyu providing support here, all of Zhu Man's plans unfolded smoothly.
On the day of farewell, Zhu Man noticed Su Xing's reluctance and concern for him.
"Jie," Su Xing said softly, "I really do like you a lot. So I’ll be honest—I initially wanted to leave a little something behind in your body to use as leverage against your husband. But seeing how good you are to me… I’ll consider you my friend! Let’s keep in touch; if you ever feel unwell, make sure to contact me."
"If I have the chance, I will come to see you and the child!" Zhu Man said as he placed his palm against Su Xing's belly.
A steady warmth flowed into Su Xing, as if it infused her with boundless strength.
Su Xing looked at Zhu Man in surprise. "Is this mystical power? Manman, can you really use Qi Gong?"
In recent days, Su Xing had learned from her partner that Manman's maternal family was a lineage that possessed ancient powers. It was said that before they went into hiding, no one dared to provoke them, as they seemed to wield forces beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Those in the know were puzzled as to why someone with such formidable power would be bullied by the Royal Family. Zhu Man was indeed a runaway princess, and her mother had been killed by the current queen. So what was the reason behind all this?
Zhu Man smiled sincerely. "It's just skin deep. If I have the opportunity, you might see something even more impressive!"
Zhu Man wasn’t speaking empty words; she knew that Shen Jingyu would surely uncover more information. Given their relationship, Su Xing was definitely not being kept in the dark.
Su Xing didn’t press further. "Then please be careful in the future. If you need any help, just contact us! And Shi Shaowen too!"
Zhu Man raised an eyebrow playfully. "I’ll try to trouble President Shen as much as possible. Sister Su Xing, don’t feel bad about it!"
Su Xing replied, "You must ensure his safety first."
Zhu Man seemed to read her mind and gave a reassuring answer. "Don’t worry. I won’t let him be in real danger."
It turned out that today was also the day Shen Jingyu would accompany them on a business trip! Although Su Xing had received an answer from him yesterday about escorting and working together, it wasn’t hard for her to guess that Shen Jingyu would be involved in their struggle this time. This was a promise he had made initially, and Su Xing had no grounds to refuse him!
She could only silently pray for their safety and success!
As Su Xing watched them get into the car, Shen Jingyu didn’t let her accompany him to the airport. Before leaving, he unexpectedly leaned in for a passionate French kiss with Su Xing in front of everyone, showing no hesitation in his reluctance to part.
"Darling, you must take care of yourself," he said earnestly. "I’ll be back soon. For now, stay at home; your aunt will keep you company."
He continued, "I’ve arranged for someone to handle your work matters; your two partners barely work consistently anyway, so don’t worry about that. From now on, your finances are my responsibility! I've transferred all my assets to you and will continue to deposit my earnings into your account each month. So don’t wear yourself out, okay? Focus on taking care of your health! Once I return, we can finally plan our wedding!"
"Take some time to look at the things we’ll use for our wedding, the jewelry. You can pick your favorite designs!"
Shen Jingyu spoke rapidly, showing a hint of being overly chatty.
Su Xing watched him with a bemused expression, gently placing his warm hands into Shen Jingyu's: "Alright, you already told me all this last night! Trust me, okay? Besides, it’s not like you’re on some secret mission; we can still stay in touch! Remember to send me videos whenever you have time! Otherwise, it’ll be boring at home, and I’ll be online all the time!"
Shen Jingyu's gaze was resolute: "Definitely!"
The two locked eyes, their connection palpable, making it hard to part. The onlookers felt a bit shy and turned away from the car. This was undoubtedly Shen Jingyu's most flamboyant display of affection!
Luo Hao led the team, arranging for nine cars to escort them, each vehicle containing four of their team members. This mission had been coordinated with the secret squad since Zhu Man's identity was quite special. Although they couldn't provide overt protection, they certainly couldn't afford to be negligent in secret.
This operation had to be conducted discreetly; Zhu Man could either become a renowned princess or face a struggle that could lead to her permanent disappearance.
After Su Xing saw them off, he turned back into the vast villa. To prevent Su Xing and Shen Huai Ming from lingering in that courtyard, as soon as Shen Jingyu stepped out, his grandmother and aunt would take him back to the old residence.
Shen Huairou approached with a teasing demeanor, looking at Su Xing: "Are you that reluctant? You look like a wilted eggplant!"
