Jiang Junyi frowned and put down Wan Qingyun's exquisite jade feet.
He had just been wondering why something like this would happen to the Su Family when Lin Xiu, the Child of Destiny, was right beside Su Ling.
Then he thought, if something like this didn't happen, how would Lin Xiu conquer Su Ling?
Jiang Junyi opened his system, and a dark cover appeared on the file library.
C-level Classified File — "Traces of the King of Assassins": 3000 Pure Love Points
Jiang Junyi was stunned, the King of Assassins?! That meant it was another Child of Destiny!
He quickly redeemed the file, not caring that he only had 1 Pure Love Point left.
"Traces of the King of Assassins" —
[He is the assassin most feared by the Western underground forces, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, leaving no trace.]
[Leading a mercenary group called Night Raven, he runs rampant overseas, striking fear into countless gangs.]
[Night Raven has been searching for some precious materials, seemingly to achieve a certain goal.]
[Currently, the new product raw materials of Su Corporation have become their target.]
[But this is destined not to be an event where the fisherman profits.]
[Instead, it is the first meeting between the Dragon King and the King of Assassins, laying the foundation for their future alliance.]
[Think, what should you do?]
Jiang Junyi closed the file with a gloomy expression.
The situation was serious; he had said that Su Corporation, with Lin Xiu there, wouldn't easily collapse.
So this was what they were waiting for!
Jiang Junyi lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa: Lin Xiu helping Su Ling resolve Su Corporation's crisis in this situation, saving her from danger, naturally carried immense weight.
Furthermore, the means of resolution would most likely involve the Dragon King Palace.
Lin Xiu would then be shrouded in another layer of mystery.
This was probably also the beginning of Su Ling's affection.
Jiang Junyi's eyes deepened; it was simply killing multiple birds with one stone.
So how could he manipulate things from here...
He was a little anxious; just this one file showed that this Night Raven should be quite formidable.
Unlike the file about the Dragon King Palace when he first encountered it, this one used rhetoric.
This meant that, for now, the leader of Night Raven should be stronger than Lin Xiu.
After all, he had battle achievements to his name.
Jiang Junyi felt his thoughts were in a mess.
Suddenly, a pair of cool small hands caressed his cheek, gently turning his head.
"What's wrong?" Wan Qingyun asked softly.
She sensed that Jiang Junyi seemed to be troubled by something; in just a few minutes, she had already heard several faint sighs and slightly rough breathing.
Wan Qingyun touched Jiang Junyi's forehead, smoothing out his tightly furrowed brows: "Think slowly, don't rush."
She knew that if even he found something difficult, she probably couldn't help much right now.
But even so, Wan Qingyun wanted to share some of his burden, even if it was just to soothe Jiang Junyi's heart.
Jiang Junyi looked at the gentle Wan Qingyun, and the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided.
He held Wan Qingyun's hand: "It's good to have you here."
"Is that so? That's really good," Wan Qingyun said softly.
Jiang Junyi's eyes gradually brightened, and some ideas had already formed in his mind.
"Haha, my Qingyun is truly my lucky star~"
Jiang Junyi gave Wan Qingyun a quick peck, making her blush profusely.
"What if I ask the Su Family to hold a banquet five days from now?"
Wan Qingyun was slightly startled: "So soon?"
"Time waits for no one…"
Jiang Junyi looked out the window; dark clouds were gathering.
Wan Qingyun thought for a moment and replied: "I think it's possible. Advancing the time can allow us to seize more power, and the profits can at least double."
"Exactly," Jiang Junyi snapped his fingers.
Of course, that was secondary; the important thing was not to let the Dragon King Palace and Night Raven connect.
Even if they would eventually connect, it couldn't be this soon.
Jiang Junyi took out his phone and dialed Uncle Wu's number: "Uncle Wu, inform the Su Family that the banquet will be held in five days, and be firm about it."
Only a concise and powerful reply came from the other end of the phone: "Yes!"
Meanwhile, at Xingluo Daycare Center.
"Really? How can there be such a bad person!"
Liang Qiqi looked shocked, her hands still seemingly tinkering with something.
Su Ling's cheeks were flushed, and she sighed helplessly: "It's absolutely true, sister! They messed up at the crucial moment! It's infuriating!"
She stretched out her hand, as if it were the thing Liang Qiqi was tinkering with.
Liang Qiqi held a tool, filing Su Ling's nails: "Where exactly did this happen?"
Su Ling thought for a moment: "The border of Country M, I guess… I've already sent people to investigate."
"This must be investigated, otherwise, the losses would be huge!" Liang Qiqi said empathetically, "Sister, do you like this color?"
"Mm, I really like this color," Su Ling sighed, "Yes, alas, the main thing is that I'm all alone."
"How so? Sister, you're so beautiful and excellent, how could you not have a boyfriend?" Liang Qiqi asked curiously.
"I have a fiancé, but he's always full of empty words and hasn't accomplished a single thing," Su Ling thought of Lin Xiu and sighed again, "The color needs to be more saturated."
"Alright," Liang Qiqi replied, "Can such a person become sister's fiancé?"
"It was decided by the elders, so I can't do anything about it. But he does have some skills, and he volunteered to go for this matter," Su Ling looked worried, "Actually, I didn't want him to go, but I'm really too busy."
"Mm-hmm, just hearing sister talk about it sounds tough."
"Do you know, there are actually many parasites within the Su Family!"
"Ah? Tell me more…"
Here, Liang Qiqi was doing Su Ling's nails, extracting information.
On the other side, Wang Hao and Virgo were hunched over their desks, frantically transcribing, not missing a single word!
"I didn't expect it to be done this way," Virgo said without stopping his pen or raising his head.
Wang Hao was also writing furiously: "I don't understand women's thoughts."
"Tsk."
"Crack."
The ballpoint pen in Virgo's hand suddenly broke into two.
"Besides you," Wang Hao glanced at the broken ballpoint pen, his expression unchanged.
After a while longer, Su Ling was admiring her nails: "Sister, you did such a good job!"
"Of course! Seeing sister looking so beautiful, I gave it my all!" Liang Qiqi said with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work~"
"No problem~"
Just then, Su Ling's phone rang.
After answering, her originally bright expression instantly changed: "What?! Okay, I'll be right there."
Su Ling looked at Liang Qiqi: "Thank you all, I'll be going now."
She thanked them and left in a hurry.
Virgo, Wang Hao, Feng Liuliu, and Liang Qiqi gathered together, looking thoughtfully at Su Ling's retreating figure.
"I didn't expect manicures to have such a function," Virgo was truly enlightened.
"Hmph hmph, no woman can resist it!" Liang Qiqi put her hands on her hips, looking smug.
Wang Hao felt nothing about making that pose, he just felt it was being part of the group.
"It seems the Su Family's crisis this time is very serious…" Feng Liuliu pushed up his glasses.
Young Master, you must have started making your move, right?
