Hospital.
While Su Yingxue was away, a figure silently slipped into the ward.
"I can't imagine my King lying in a hospital bed, looking so weak. It's truly heartbreaking!"
The figure who entered the ward spoke in an exaggerated tone.
"Mei Ji, you've seen me injured before, haven't you?" Chen Fan said indifferently.
Mei Ji giggled, "Even injured, my King is still so captivating. However, I don't think you should do this. You are as powerful as a god, but you are still mortal!"
Chen Fan didn't find Mei Ji's attitude problematic.
People like them danced on the edge of a knife and had long since become indifferent to life and death.
Therefore, although they admired him, they didn't feel their illusions shattered just because Chen Fan was injured.
Nor were they particularly angered by it.
Besides, she already knew that Chen Fan had deliberately taken a few bullets, which led to his injuries.
"Did you bring the thing?" Chen Fan changed the subject.
"It's here!"
Mei Ji produced a bag, walked to the bedside, and placed it in Chen Fan's hand, giving his palm a casual scratch.
"You can go back now!"
Chen Fan said expressionlessly.
"My dear King, your heartless demeanor saddens me."
Mei Ji blinked and said with a hint of melancholy.
Chen Fan's brow twitched, and his expression turned cold.
This woman was getting addicted to teasing him.
Mei Ji was unfazed and said with a grin, "I'm wondering, my King, are you so weak that you can't resist? If so, would I become your woman if I forcefully took you now?"
"Get lost!"
Chen Fan was speechless and rebuked her.
"Alright," Mei Ji said with a smile. "I guess I missed my chance this time. If there's a next time, I'll definitely seize it."
With a bell-like laugh, Mei Ji opened the ward door and slipped away.
Chen Fan was a little annoyed, realizing that letting Mei Ji stay in Da Xia wasn't a wise decision.
He opened the bag and took a look.
Inside were three fragments of the Dragon Pattern Compass.
These items were completely undamaged after the great fire.
Placing the items on the bedside table, Chen Fan got up, changed his clothes, and pressed the communicator on the bedside. "Please ask Elder Bai to come and see me!"
Soon, Bai Shijing arrived with Professor Zheng.
Upon entering and seeing Chen Fan, who had already changed his clothes, both were taken aback.
"I'm checking out. Please explain it for me!"
Chen Fan said.
His injuries were actually almost healed, or rather, almost healed for him.
However, Su Yingxue would definitely not allow him to check out, so he needed Bai Shijing to vouch for him.
Bai Shijing exclaimed, "Mr. Chen is indeed extraordinary. The fatal injuries that would cause ordinary people to drop dead, you are able to control!"
Chen Fan said, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Bai!"
"Unfortunately, the aura and vitality within your body are still yielding no results in my research."
Bai Shijing hesitated for a moment and said, "May I ask, Mr. Chen, where does the aura within your body come from?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Perhaps we can research it together again when there's an opportunity, Elder Bai."
Bai Shijing knew Chen Fan didn't want to reveal it and said with some regret, "Alright, I'll go and explain to your family."
Thus, with Bai Shijing's endorsement, half an hour later, Chen Fan checked out of the hospital.
Although Su Yingxue was still a little worried, she didn't object further.
Jiang Tiansheng arranged for a car to wait outside the building.
Wang Dongdong could also walk with some effort. After leaving the hospital, the group didn't take long to arrive at a high-end residential complex.
The complex was called Yujing Yuan. It wasn't as luxurious as Xiangshan Tanfu, but its price was also considerable.
Jiang Tiansheng arranged for two suites on the same floor, separated by only two doors.
After viewing them, Su Yingxue and Li Xiuying were very satisfied, so they settled in.
Since Villa No. 1 had been burned down, many things needed to be purchased. Chen Fan stayed to rest, while Wang Tingting accompanied Su Yingxue for shopping.
Jiang Tiansheng sent people to accompany them.
By evening, it was like moving house, with all sorts of items being moved upstairs. Da Feng Fiction Network.
Su Yingxue bought several sets of clothes for Chen Fan, even including underwear.
There wasn't enough time to cook that night, so everyone ate at a high-end restaurant outside the complex. Jiang Tiansheng also joined them.
In the following days, Su Yingxue's life returned to normal, and she continued to go to work.
As for Chen Fan, after he and Su Yingxue had broken through the unspoken barrier, he lived quite comfortably.
Until one day, Jiang Tiansheng paid a visit, holding a gilded invitation.
Chen Fan took it and looked, slightly taken aback.
It was a joint invitation to a business summit, signed by Su Yuhua and Yuan Liangping.
The two intended to establish the Liangjiang Chamber of Commerce and invited Jiang Tiansheng to attend the event scheduled for 3 PM the next day.
"I've inquired. Local wealthy families and many company CEOs in Hangjiang have also received invitations!"
Jiang Tiansheng said, "The scale is immense, encompassing almost all the well-known figures in Hangjiang's business circles!"
Chen Fan looked at the name Su Yuhua and asked, "Su Yingxia's third uncle?"
Jiang Tiansheng had mentioned Su Yuhua before, saying he had returned from overseas with capital. Chen Fan hadn't paid much attention at first, but he hadn't expected him to bring Yuan Liangping's plan back to the agenda.
Jiang Tiansheng nodded and said, "It's said he returned from Siam, and he controls the power of his wife's family, a behemoth conglomerate there, monopolizing Siam's energy and mining industries!"
"It's said he's brought hundreds of billions in investment. He's incredibly wealthy and has already caused a stir in the entire Hangjiang business community!"
Chen Fan chuckled, "If he's just here to invest, then so be it!"
"You mean?"
"Let's investigate his background first."
Chen Fan smiled, "Since you've been invited, you should attend."
"The intentions are not friendly," Jiang Tiansheng said with a smile. "If you don't go, I'll feel uncertain!"
"You're one of the tycoons of Hangjiang, how can you feel uncertain?"
Chen Fan laughed, "We'll see."
Jiang Tiansheng said, "Alright, I'll leave first and go sound out the intentions of those wealthy families."
Chen Fan nodded, took out his phone, and called Mei Ji, asking her to use Dark Night's channels to investigate Su Yuhua's background and experience overseas.
Not long after, he received a call back from Mei Ji.
Taking the keys, he went out and drove to the Dark Night Bar.
The bar had been renovated and was very stylish. It was still afternoon, and there were already customers inside, all gathered by the bar.
Behind the bar, Mei Ji's bell-like laughter could be heard as she mixed drinks and chatted with the customers, leaving many of them in a state of infatuation.
This enchantress, as long as she was here, the bar's business wouldn't be bad.
"Sir, what would you like?" Seeing Chen Fan, Mei Ji left the other customers, gave Chen Fan a seductive glance, and asked.
"Anything,"
Chen Fan said.
"Certainly." Mei Ji giggled and shook the shaker with her slender fingers, her movements dazzling and elegant.
A colorful cocktail was placed before Chen Fan.
After picking it up and tasting it, Chen Fan said, "Not bad."
Mei Ji smiled proudly, "I learned from the Magician. This Angel's Kiss is my gift to you."
Chen Fan, however, didn't touch the drink again. He turned and found a secluded spot to sit.
Mei Ji shook her head regretfully, picked up the glass that Chen Fan had drunk from, and drank it herself without any hesitation, making the other customers extremely envious.
"Maggie, I have a drink you made too. How about you try mine?"
A male customer flirted.
"You're too ugly. That gentleman is the man I like!" Mei Ji said.
As soon as Chen Fan sat down, the Magician sat in front of him and said, "King, intelligence from headquarters indicates that this Su Yuhua is not simple!"
