After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

"Brother Chen, tell me honestly, are you really stupid or are you pretending?"

Lin Shasha's words surprised Ye Chen. He hadn't expected this little girl to have such a sharp intuition; she was indeed a good prospect for martial arts.

"I'm not stupid, I'm very smart," Ye Chen shouted at her.

"Alright, alright, Brother Chen isn't stupid. I misspoke just now."

Lin Shasha sighed inwardly; her brother's condition didn't seem to be feigned.

As we all know, mentally ill people never admit they are mentally ill, and idiots certainly won't admit they are idiots.

"Brother Chen, it's so good that you're back safe and sound. Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on. In Jiangcheng, anyone who dares to mess with you, I'll beat the crap out of them!"

"Forehead......"

Ye Chen was speechless. These words, coming from a seemingly gentle and weak young girl, had a unique "flavor".

As the two were talking, Gu Ning, who had heard the commotion, quickly walked over.

"Ah Chen, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Gu Ning's pretty face was full of tension as she examined Ye Chen over and over again.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, with me here, no one can bully Brother Chen." Lin Shasha patted her chest, making a loud slapping sound.

"Thank you, Sasha. What exactly happened just now? Sun Shaozu and the others aren't bullying Achen anymore?"

As they were both from the upper class of Jiangcheng, Gu Ning naturally knew Lin Shasha.

"Haha, no, no, it's Sun Shaozu on the contrary..."

Lin Shasha laughed heartily and vividly recounted what had just happened.

Ye Chen didn't suffer any loss; in fact, he turned the tables on Sun Shaozu. But Gu Ning still felt extremely sorry for him and held him in her arms, gently comforting him for a long time.

The scene was utterly shocking to the guests present.

Everyone knows that Gu Ning is a well-known ice queen in Jiangcheng, never smiling, and domineering in the business world.

Even if some people like her, they don't dare to say it out loud.

Only a top-tier scion like Sun Shaozu would dare to express his love for her.

But Gu Ning never gave him a kind look from beginning to end.

"You damn bitch, you just wait!" Sun Shaozu's face turned green with rage.

"vomit......"

He had barely finished speaking when he bent over and dry heaved.

He hadn't felt it when he was angry, but now he felt nauseous. The sticky phlegm and snot seemed to be stuck to his esophagus.

"I need to go to the restroom first."

After gagging for a while, he ran to the bathroom.

On Ye Chen's side, Gu Ning and Lin Shasha took him to socialize with people in the industry.

With the two of them present, naturally no one dared to laugh at Ye Chen; they all gave him face.

The two women's intentions were also very clear: to tell everyone in Jiangcheng that Ye Chen and the Ye family were now backed by the Gu family and the Lin family.

If some people have ulterior motives, they should weigh the consequences.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Sunshine Hotel, in the presidential suite.

A sensual and arousing scene is unfolding.

On the living room floor, two stunningly beautiful women sat facing each other, their hands clasped tightly together. Wisps of white true energy rose continuously from their bodies, clearly indicating that they were practicing some kind of cultivation technique.

It was a hot summer day, and since exercising would generate heat, the two women wore only thin, gauze-like training clothes.

At first glance, her graceful and charming figure is unmistakable.

If Ye Chen were here, he would discover that one of the two women was none other than Qin Yu, the Great Xia Goddess of War who had sought to annul her engagement with him earlier.

About ten minutes later, the two of them withdrew their hands at the same time.

Qin Yu, drenched in sweat, collapsed weakly into another woman's arms.

"Yu'er, your cold ailment is getting worse and worse. Haven't you found a way to treat it yet? If I hadn't come to Jiangcheng today, you would have been in danger."

The young woman, with her flowing black hair and delicate features, asked with concern.

"It's alright, I... I know my own body."

After a while, Qin Yu finally regained some strength and then asked.

"Mu Ling, what brings you to Jiangcheng? A mere investment of hundreds of billions doesn't require the personal involvement of the richest man's daughter, right?"

"I was just feeling bored, so I came out for a walk," Li Muling said with a smile, brushing it off.

In fact, she came to Jiangcheng with a mission.

Besides being the daughter of the richest man, she has another, more secretive identity: the sixth-ranked of the Seventy-Two Sword Maidens of Lingxiao Pavilion.

This morning, the Pavilion Master suddenly issued a supreme order.

She has passed the position of Pavilion Master to her disciple Ye Chen. From now on, everyone in Lingxiao Pavilion must obey Ye Chen's orders, and Ye Chen has now arrived in Jiangcheng.

Among the top ten sword maidens of Lingxiao Pavilion, she was closest to Jiangcheng, so she hurriedly came to pay her respects to the new pavilion master.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in Jiangcheng, they encountered Qin Yu, who had suffered a sudden attack of cold-related illness and was unconscious. It took a great deal of effort to save her.

"It's almost time, let's pack up and head out," Li Muling said, glancing at her phone on the table.

Sun Shaozu emerged from the restroom just moments before the banquet began.

His face was pale, and his once meticulously styled hair was now disheveled, making him look quite pathetic.

Although he spent a long time trying to get the steak out of his throat, it just wouldn't come out, making him feel even more nauseous.

He had already decided that after the banquet ended, he would kill Ye Chen and then immediately go to the hospital for a stomach pump.

"Ahem... Uh... Well, welcome everyone to today's banquet. I am unworthy to host this banquet at the request of the Li family in the provincial capital, so that everyone can have a chance to make a fortune."

The Li family will invest hundreds of billions in Jiangcheng for new energy projects. To be honest, my Zhao family is determined to secure this investment.

After he finished speaking, he deliberately paused, taking in the surprised and envious looks of the crowd below the stage, his face full of pride.

The audience was where the Gu family members were.

Gu Yuancheng was heartbroken. "It's over, all over! The Li family had the Sun family host this banquet, wasn't that a blatant invitation to cooperate with the Sun family? How are we supposed to have any chance left?!"

"If it weren't for the Li family's financial support, the Gu family would really be finished. Big brother, isn't Sun Shaozu interested in Ningning?"

"Have Ningning try to build a relationship with him; maybe we can even get a share of the profits later."

Gu Yuanjian earnestly advised Gu Yuanshan.

Gu Yuanshan snorted coldly, "I'm not going. Sun Shaozu is a notorious playboy in Jiangcheng. I don't want to push my daughter into a fire pit."

Jiang Yumei said, "No matter how much of a womanizer Sun Shaozu is, he's still better than that fool Ye Chen. If he and Ningning really get together in the future, he'll naturally settle down."

"After all, with Ningning by his side, how could he possibly be interested in another woman?"

"Yes, sister-in-law is right!" Gu Yuancheng and Gu Yuanjian agreed in unison.

"snort!"

Gu Long snorted coldly and slammed his cane down heavily.

"Where is your backbone? Even if my Gu family dies of poverty and starvation, we will never trade our daughter for wealth! Just wait and see, it's still uncertain who will win this investment tonight."
