The two returned to the hospital after lunch.
Jiang Nuan stood outside the intensive care unit, her eyes red.
She had done all she could, and the rest was up to fate.
However, Grandfather would definitely wake up; his tenacious willpower was incomparable to ordinary people.
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen and said, "You go and take care of your matters. It will take a long time here at the hospital. I'll stay and watch."
Mu Jiuchen disliked her pushing him away so much.
"Jiang Nuan, I can resolve my matters without going. Please don't push me away."
Just as Jiang Nuan was about to say something, she was unexpectedly kissed by him again.
Jiang Nuan's eyes widened as she looked at him. His gaze was extremely cold.
Mu Jiuchen chuckled and said, "If you make a mistake in the future, this will be your punishment."
Jiang Nuan: "..." Damn it, I've fallen for it! This punishment is really sweet!
"Whatever you say, I can't argue with you anyway."
Jiang Nuan glanced at the time. "Grandfather won't wake up today. I'll come back tomorrow noon. I have something to do now and need to go out."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan called Uncle Jiang.
"Uncle Jiang, can you send a car for me?" She needed to go out right now.
"Alright, Miss. I've made arrangements at the hospital. I'll have someone send the car over immediately. Miss, be careful and don't let anyone track you."
"Okay, Uncle Jiang. You all should also be careful."
After hanging up, the two went downstairs to wait.
Half an hour later, a Mercedes G-Wagon arrived.
Jiang Nuan really liked this model.
After thanking the driver, they got into the car. Mu Jiuchen turned on the navigation and asked her, "Nuannuan, where are you going?"
Jiang Nuan re-tied her long hair into a ponytail before saying, "To Hongsheng Manor."
"Hongsheng Manor." Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Nuan with some surprise.
Seeing his confusion, Jiang Nuan asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know anyone from Hongsheng Manor?"
Jiang Nuan nodded. "Yes! My master from abroad was hired to be stationed at Hongsheng Manor after returning. I have something to look for her about."
Mu Jiuchen was surprised because Hongsheng Manor was not a place that just anyone could enter.
The people inside were all geniuses. He had once wanted to become a member of Hongsheng Manor.
But it wasn't very realistic. He didn't lack money, and having talent didn't necessarily mean he had to go there to realize his dreams. Good places just had an extra layer of prestige. He resolutely decided to study abroad.
Part of it was pressure from his stepmother, and part of it was his grandfather's expectations.
However, he had no regrets now.
Hongsheng Manor was quite far away. With traffic jams and the long distance, it took a full two hours.
When they got out of the car, they saw three golden characters: HONGSHENG MANOR.
Magnificent and aspirational!
Jiang Nuan called her master. A few minutes later, a tall and capable middle-aged woman wearing a dark blue qipao came out.
The woman had fair skin, deep features, and sharp contours that suited the dark blue perfectly. She had a cool and elegant aura.
"Nuannuan." Seeing Nuannuan, she became much warmer.
"Master." Jiang Nuan called out happily, and they embraced.
Jiang Nuan looked at her master, Yun Fu. She had returned a year earlier than Jiang Nuan, and over the past year, her master hadn't changed much.
"Yes, I received your message. Let's talk at the coffee shop over there."
Jiang Nuan pulled Mu Jiuchen over and introduced him. "Master, this is my boyfriend, Mu Jiuchen."
"Oh!" Yun Fu looked at Mu Jiuchen with some curiosity.
"Hello!"
Mu Jiuchen also replied respectfully, "Hello, Master!"
"Yes, let's go over there. There are people in the manor today, so it's inconvenient to discuss some matters."
Jiang Nuan understood and didn't ask further.
The three went to the coffee shop and ordered their coffees.
Yun Fu looked at Jiang Nuan with some regret. "I thought you would be with Nanzhou... Never mind, as long as you are happy with your choice."
Yun Fu said this without paying much attention to Mu Jiuchen, who was beside them.
Mu Jiuchen also understood her meaning, and his expression turned grim. Was he worse than Nanzhou?
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "Master, Mu Jiuchen is very good."
Yun Fu glanced at the unhappy Mu Jiuchen. "You don't need to be angry about what I said. You are indeed very handsome, but there are things you might not be able to do as well as Nanzhou."
Mu Jiuchen: "!!!" How could anyone not get angry at such words?
Mu Jiuchen's dark eyes cast a faint glance at her. "Master, I can do for Nuannuan whatever other men can do."
"I hope you can keep your word. I've known Nuannuan for five years. She has had a very tough time during these five years. If it weren't for Nanzhou helping her, it would have been too much for a woman raising three children alone."
Yun Fu was an upright and righteous person.
She treated her beloved junior disciple like her own daughter and cared deeply about her life.
Mu Jiuchen straightened his back, pressing his tongue firmly against the inside of his cheek.
"I will not let her and her children suffer anymore. Master, you can entrust Nuannuan to me with peace of mind."
He didn't show much emotion on his face, but his tone was firm and powerful.
Yun Fu then ignored him and looked at Jiang Nuan. The fact that she let Mu Jiuchen overhear showed her trust in him.
"Li He, born a mercenary, actual age fifty years old. He is a very strong opponent, the leader of the Underground Black Panther. For years, he has been a confidant of the Yang family. His appearance at the banquet in public... I don't know what the Yang family is up to. You must be extremely careful and strengthen your physical training."
Jiang Nuan nodded. She had another purpose for coming to see her master today.
She sent a list to Yun Fu. "Master, I need these medicinal herbs. Can you help me find them?"
Yun Fu's eyes lit up upon seeing the list, and she smiled. "Silly girl, how could I forget this skill of yours? If your martial prowess isn't enough, then resort to cunning. To deal with someone as ruthless as him, you must be more resourceful."
This was exactly what Jiang Nuan was thinking.
"Don't worry, I'll prepare these medicinal herbs for you by tomorrow evening. We'll meet at a different location tomorrow at 6:00."
Yun Fu was also very cautious.
After all, the Black Panther was not to be trifled with!
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Master. I've already transferred the money to you."
These medicinal herbs were extremely valuable and required special channels to obtain.
And her master happened to have such channels.
Leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen did not linger and drove away directly.
Only then did Mu Jiuchen look at Jiang Nuan. In just a few minutes, she had blacked out the surveillance cameras on the entire street.
Mu Jiuchen: "..." This skill was even more proficient than his own.
No wonder he couldn't beat Little Koi in games.
Jiang Nuan checked everything and glanced at Mu Jiuchen, who was driving. His expression was still grim.
"No one is following us!"
Mu Jiuchen said with a stern face, "That's good! Where are we going now?"
Jiang Nuan ignored him, feeling that the more he cared, the more he would throw a tantrum. "Let's go back to Grandfather's house. I need to check the surveillance footage."
Mu Jiuchen set the navigation and drove towards Grandpa Jiang's house.
When they arrived at the entrance, they saw a shadowy figure peeking inside furtively.
