He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

That's why people like Jiang Wenwu were forced to pledge allegiance later on. Mr. Jia and his group captured Jiang Wenwu's family members and used them to blackmail him.

After administering the medicine, Mr. Jia smiled.

Although no one could see his face, they could sense that he was in a good mood.

"Alright, there's going to be a good show soon."

Around noon, Zhang Beixing and Sun Xiuling agreed to meet at a coffee shop called "Ping An".

Sun Xiuling has already learned about Zhang Beixing's situation through various channels.

Moreover, she also got in touch with Wu Jinhua.

Wu Jinhua also confirmed that Zhang Beixing is indeed a rare talent.

Wu Jinhua was filled with emotion, as she hadn't been in contact with Zhang Beixing for a long time.

She hopes to have the opportunity to work with Zhang Beixing again in the future.

Looking back on her experience working with Zhang Beixing, she felt like she had been in a dream.

Sun Xiuling has golden hair tied in a braid and a fair complexion.

She likes to wear beige clothes and is already waiting in the coffee shop.

Zhang Beixing walked into the coffee shop lobby and made a phone call first.

When he appeared at the door, Sun Xiuling recognized him at a glance, so she coughed lightly and waved to him.

Zhang Beixing walked over with a smile.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Sun Xiuling?"

Sun Xiuling nodded; her first impression of Zhang Beixing was fairly good.

She pointed to the seat opposite her.

"Alright, you can sit down now."

After Zhang Beixing sat down, he got straight to the point.

This made Sun Xiuling admire him even more.

Sun Xiuling originally thought that Zhang Beixing might, like other men, first flatter her and praise her for being beautiful.

After all, many men see her like this.

"This organization may have existed for a long time, and we never expected it to have such a negative impact."

Sun Xiuling said that this was also a dereliction of duty by the higher authorities.

Zhang Beixing shook his head.

"Don't say that. They've always been very secretive. If it weren't for some special reasons, I wouldn't have been able to find out myself."

Then, Sun Xiuling inquired about the specific details.

Especially regarding Zhu Xiaoling.

Zhang Beixing recounted in detail his encounter with the manager the previous night.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn.

Zhang Beixing explained that he hadn't slept well last night, so he was still a little sleepy.

"Is the Jiang Wenwu you mentioned still working at that factory?"

"Yes, you might be able to interrogate him."

Sun Xiuling nodded.

After the two had finished chatting, Sun Xiuling suddenly realized what had happened.

"Oh dear, look at my memory! We should have ordered some coffee, snacks, and side dishes."

Although the main purpose of this meeting was to discuss matters, not to have a meal, we couldn't just sit there idly.

Zhang Beixing nodded, and the waiter immediately came over.

"Sir/Madam, what would you like to order?"

Sun Xiuling said that she was treating Zhang Beixing to the meal and told him not to be shy about it.

Zhang Beixing quickly said, "I'm a man, how can I let a woman pay for the meal? This meal must be on me."

"I invited you here today, so I must pay the invitation."

The two of them playfully pushed and shoved each other, making the waiter laugh.

"Alright, let's stop arguing and order first."

Afterwards, the two ordered some side dishes.

Sun Xiuling was curious about Zhang Beixing, so she asked him what he had been through.

"Well, this all started with my sister. I was almost misunderstood by the police officer..."

Zhang Beixing himself didn't know why, but he was willing to talk to the other party about some of his past experiences.

In fact, even Wu Jinhua and Shui Qingli had never heard him mention these things.

Sometimes, the less you say, the more mysterious you seem; but once you reveal it, it might lose its charm. Zhang Beixing's conversation lasted a full half hour.

Once all the dishes were served, neither of them rushed to pick up their chopsticks.

Sun Xiuling exclaimed, "I never imagined you had such a rich experience. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, you should eat something."

After the meal, Sun Xiuling told Zhang Beixing that they would work together to find a way to wipe out the Shenlong Society in one fell swoop.

"Zhang Beixing, you are not fighting alone; it is all of us fighting together."

Zhang Beixing nodded and then went home.

As soon as I got home, Wu Jinhua called: "Did you go see some pretty girls today?"

Zhang Beixing was taken aback, but then he understood.

It's certain that Sun Xiuling contacted Wu Jinhua; after all, they were both in officialdom, so it's normal for them to keep in touch.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

"We're talking about serious business."

"Look at you, I'm talking to you about serious matters, and you're making it sound like it's something shameful."

Zhang Beixing then recounted his meeting with Sun Xiuling that day.

"Well done, you're getting more and more to worry about. I hope this matter can be investigated and resolved smoothly."

Then, Wu Jinhua asked Zhang Beixing if anything had happened recently.

Zhang Beixing thought to himself that he should not tell Zhu Xiaoling about this for the time being, so as not to worry her.

"Everything is fine, but this is what's bothering me."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After that, the two chatted about other things for a full ten minutes before hanging up.

On the other hand, Shui Qingli was constantly worried about Zhu Xiaoling's situation.

However, she didn't tell Shui Lili about it.

That evening, Shui Qingli returned to her room looking unwell, so Shui Lili asked her what was wrong.

"Something happened to Zhu Xiaoling, and I'm worried about her."

Shui Lili hurriedly asked what happened.

She and Zhu Xiaoling are very close now, especially when Zhang Beixing was hospitalized, they were often together.

Shui Qingli then explained the relevant situation.

"My God, how could she possibly be a saint? Besides, she's originally from Lin Kingdom. These people are just being ridiculous!"

Shui Qingli said she understood what was going on, but those people had been brainwashed, and explaining it to them was useless.

"I never expected that Zhang Beixing would encounter such a big challenge after returning to China."

The two talked about this all night.

Before they knew it, it was late at night, and they finally went to rest.

The next day, when Shui Qingli got up, she was still worried about the matter, and her face looked very pale.

Shui Lili advised, "Miss, distant water can't quench immediate thirst, and there's no use in us being anxious. There's a saying in the Nine Provinces Empire: what's meant to be will be, so don't worry too much."

"I understand everything."

Shui Qingli sighed.

She wanted to call Zhang Beixing, but was afraid of bothering him.

After finishing her meal, she hurried off to work. Fortunately, she was busy with work and temporarily forgot about the matter.

She was immersed in the busyness and fulfillment of her work.

At noon, the office arranged her afternoon schedule.

In the afternoon, she had to attend an important meeting.

In the afternoon, Shui Qingli drove a luxury car to the meeting venue.

She didn't return to the Duke's mansion until almost dinnertime.

However, on the way, she saw people queuing in front of a restaurant.

So, Shui Qingli asked the staff what exactly was going on.

The staff stopped the car and inquired, and were told that it was a newly opened store having a promotion.

It's said to be a long-established brand; it used to be located elsewhere, but now it's moved here.

This attracted many customers, and there were many discounts during the opening period.

The staff assumed that Shui Qingli was simply trying to understand the people's living conditions.

But they didn't expect that Shui Qingli would decide to have dinner there that night.

"Your Majesty, your status is so noble..."

"So what if you have a noble status? Shouldn't you be able to mingle with the common people?"

The staff member said, "In that case, I'll go clear the area."

Let the store know you've arrived so they can make arrangements in advance.

As the staff were about to get off the bus, Shui Qingli stopped them.

"You can't do that. I don't want to be treated as a special privilege."

Now, the staff were even more confused.

Shui Qingli said that she just needs to queue up like everyone else.

The staff had no choice but to comply with Shui Qingli's request, and they couldn't help but marvel at how approachable the king was.

Next, Shui Qingli and several staff members lined up like ordinary people.

This restaurant quickly became a popular spot due to the large number of people doing live streams. Only after one group of people finished eating and left were they allowed to enter.

A staff member leaned closer to Shui Qingli and whispered, "Your Majesty, how long will this queue take? Maybe we should just go back."

"No, this has piqued my curiosity, I must experience queuing."

The staff members had no choice but to continue staying with them.

They waited in line for a full half hour before they reached the front.

As soon as they reached the shop entrance, they smelled a fragrant aroma wafting from inside.

Shui Qingli smiled and said to the group, "See? I made the right decision bringing you here. It's my treat today."

"No, Your Majesty, let us invite you."

"Just call me Miss when we're out, and don't reveal my identity yet."

The group agreed.

However, they also had their doubts. The queen's appearance made her easily recognizable. Even if she concealed her identity, what good would it do? She was a public figure.

Strangely enough, despite queuing for so long, no one recognized Shui Qingli, and no one greeted her.

Everyone was puzzled.

It's likely that no one would expect Shui Qingli to eat at a restaurant like this. Even if someone saw Shui Qingli, they would only think she looked like the king, and wouldn't realize it was the real Shui Qingli.

However, once inside the store, someone suddenly recognized him.

"Oh, isn't this the King? What brings you here for a meal?"

At that shout, everyone turned their attention to Shui Qingli. Good heavens, why is the King here?

The shop owner was also very excited and hurriedly ran to Shui Qingli.

The king's arrival will surely bring a huge influx of customers to the store.

Therefore, he had to curry favor with her, so he greeted Shui Qingli warmly.

Shui Qingli didn't admit it. On one hand, she didn't want to be disturbed; on the other hand, she knew the boss wanted to use her to bring traffic to the store, and she didn't want to cooperate.

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the king, but many people say I look a bit like him."

The staff breathed a sigh of relief. They had wanted to remind Shui Qingli to say that, but they didn't have the chance. They didn't expect Shui Qingli to be so quick-witted.

The boss was somewhat disappointed, and many people around him were also disappointed.

However, no one expected that there would be people in the world who look so alike.

One of the staff members immediately chimed in, "Miss, I've told you before that your face looks too much like the king's, and I told you to wear sunglasses, but you wouldn't listen."

At this moment, Shui Qingli immediately cooperated.

"Yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Then, Shui Qingli smiled at everyone.

"Think about it, if I were the ruler of the country, how could I possibly eat in a place like this?"

After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it made sense.

Afterwards, the group quickly found a place to sit down.

The boss thought to himself, since he wasn't the real king, he couldn't just spread the word. Otherwise, if the real king found out, it would be a huge problem.

Several staff members approached Shui Qingli and whispered to her that she should be more careful when going out in the future.

What if there are bad guys here who kidnap Shui Qingli?
Although they could protect Shui Qingli, it was better to avoid trouble.

Shui Qingli made a face at them.

Only then did they realize that no matter how noble Shui Qingli's status was, she was still just a child.

Then, the waiter came over and told them to order quickly.

The group waited for the food to be served.

Suddenly, they heard a loud cry coming from outside.

It was a woman's voice.

Looking out through the window, Shui Qingli saw a woman around fifty years old kneeling on the ground.

The woman said that it was because there were so many people here that she wanted to express her grievances here.

The boss quickly ran out and said to the woman, "What are you doing? Don't disturb my business!"

The woman begged her boss not to fire her, saying she was a pitiful person.

"No, you can't stay here."

The woman suddenly said, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. If I stay here, maybe I can attract more people to eat here."

The boss thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

However, many people in line felt that the owner and the woman were definitely putting on a show to attract customers.

Several staff members guessed that Shui Qingli would definitely take charge of this matter.

But isn't Shui Qingli supposed to be hiding her identity? Will she really care?
Unexpectedly, Shui Qingli spoke up: "Go out and find out what happened."

Several staff members hesitated.

"Your Majesty, aren't you exposing your identity by doing this?"

“But the people are in trouble, and I can’t ignore it. You should go out and inquire.”

"What if this woman is just acting?"

Shui Qingli was adamant that even if her judgment might be wrong, she could not sit idly by and urged her staff to find out what was going on.

Upon hearing this, several staff members immediately went outside the store. At this time, the woman was still sobbing uncontrollably.

The boss stepped forward and asked with concern, "What happened that's making you so distressed?"

The woman choked up as she said that her daughter had gone missing and that she had reported it to the police, but there had been no results yet.

“I know the police officers did their best, but I miss my daughter so much.”

Shui Qingli suddenly remembered the incident Zhang Beixing had mentioned earlier about sucking girls' blood, and wondered if this was related to that. So, she asked a few men to ask them in detail.

The woman asked cautiously, "Are you willing to get involved in this?"

Several men quickly agreed. Just then, Shui Qingli stood up and said to the crowd in line, "Excuse me, everyone, please make way, I need to go out." (End of Chapter)
