“Who are you showing your bitter expression to?” A hint of displeasure flashed across Bai Hao’s face. “President, 1 don’t know if 1 should say this,” the middle-aged man said carefully. “Speak! Don’t hide it!” Bai Hao said. “Master, Jian Xing’er is a famous miracle doctor after all, so there are definitely many nobles who usually beg her to treat and save people. If you want her to treat Young Master, you have to be more careful.” After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he added, “You’re usually omnipotent in the Chamber of Commerce, so any noble has to show respect you. However, this matter concerns Young Master’s life. We’re asking for help, so we naturally have to be humble…”
When Bai Hao heard this, he finally understood why Jian Xing’er rejected him without hesitation. “President, why don’t I talk to Master Jian? 1 can represent you and show her a respectful attitude, but you don’t have to personally appear. If she’s really unwilling to help, it won’t be too late for you to appear then,” the middle-aged man suggested. “Alright, let’s do that!” Bai Hao nodded.
Jian Xing’er left the hospital and returned to the Central Residence. When Shangguan Ding saw her return, he put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up a wine glass, and took a sip of red wine. He said with an ambiguous smile, “It seems like I was really blind. A great divine doctor who mastered four of the top ten lost acupuncture techniques in the world is by my side, but I only realized it now.” “You sent someone to follow me again?” Jian Xing’er frowned and said, “Sigh, this time, it’s not to follow me, but to protect you!” Shangguan Ding said, “The president of Demon Province’s Chamber of Commerce, Bai Hao, had his subordinate follow you. I was afraid that he would do something to you, so 1 sent someone to protect you in secret.”
Jian Xing’er was speechless. This was clearly Shangguan Ding’s excuse, but he made it sound so dignified. If she was angry, she would seem unappreciative! She knew her own capabilities, so no one could do anything to her! “My father likes you very much and wants you to be his daughter-in-law. If anything happens to you, 1 won’t be able to answer to him.” A sly smile appeared on Shangguan Ding’s face as he teased Jian Xing’er again, but Jian Xing’er couldn’t be bothered with him. She stood up and walked to the backyard.
Jian Xing’er planned to develop another batch of perfume. The response to the perfume last time wasn’t bad, so she wanted to make more while she wasn’t busy now. “Keep a watch on Shen Qiang. He’s not as simple as he seems!” Shangguan Ding followed behind Jian Xing’er and said. “You investigated him?” Jian Xing’er turned around and asked. “Yes!” Shangguan Ding admitted it directly. “You work for him, so I naturally have to investigate him so that he won’t play any dirty tricks.” “What’s Shen Qiang’s background?” Jian Xing’er asked aloofly.
“He’s the young master of the Shen family. The Shen family’s pharmaceutical company is his family’s business.” Shangguan Ding said word by word, “However, he’s the illegitimate son of the Shen family’s head. Therefore, the Shen family members don’t like him, but don’t underestimate him. He acts like he doesn’t care about wealth and power in front of his family, but he’s secretly developing his faction behind the Shen family’s back.”
Jian Xing’er frowned slightly. It seemed that Shen Qiang wasn’t easy to deal with. However, she wasn’t interested in Shen Qiang’s matter. She was working under Shen Qiang to find out who the assassin was. Everything else had nothing to do with her. “Could Shen Qiang be that assassin? That chauffeur might have lied to us.” A guess flashed across Jian Xing’er’s mind. “Maybe, but maybe not. It’s hard to say for the time being,” Shangguan Ding said. “What do you mean?” “The assassin organization you’re looking for is a very different organization,” Shangguan Ding said. “There’s an unwritten rule in this assassin organization. As long as the assassin in the organization wants to retire, they have to personally nurture a qualified assassin to take over their position. Therefore, anyone can be an assassin of this organization. Perhaps we have one around us.” With that, Shangguan Ding continued, “You’ve been searching for so many years, but you haven’t found any clues about the organization. This is the reason it seems so mysterious.”

Jian Xing’er took a deep breath. This was just as she had expected. When she caught the taxi driver back then, she had a vague guess. Since even a taxi driver was a member of this organization, there might be countless assassins lurking around her. Jian Xing’er planned to start investigating from Shen Qiang. After wasting so many years, this matter couldn’t be delayed any longer. Now, in Shen Qiang’s eyes, she was a cash cow, so this was the best time to investigate him..
