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

Ye Chen and Gu Ning, the young couple, didn't settle down until late at night.

They've been married for almost a month, and the two have gotten along quite well.

Gu Ning, in particular, who was a little shy before, is now quite uninhibited.

They used all sorts of fancy moves, and none of the learning materials they had collected before were wasted; they were all used on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen is the same.

He was afraid his wife would realize he wasn't stupid, so he pretended to be passive.

Later, he discovered that when Gu Ning was deeply in love, she couldn't pay attention to so many things. She had a whole bunch of ideas in her head and put them all into practice.

After a pleasant conversation, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

But as dawn broke, Gu Ning suddenly sat up, her whole body steaming.

"Ningning, my wife, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, I feel like my body is on fire, I'm full of energy, and I really want to release it."

After saying that, she smiled and stared straight at him, startling Ye Chen.

"Ningning's wife is about to break through!"

Ye Chen instantly understood what was going on, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Honey, I suddenly remembered a fun pose."

After saying that, he pulled Gu Ning over and made her sit in his lap. Then he took her small hand and began to guide the flow of her internal energy to break through the Qi Refining Realm barrier.

About half an hour later, Gu Ning opened her cherry-like mouth and exhaled a three-foot-long plume of white smoke that lingered for a long time.

She opened her eyes and exclaimed with immense excitement.

"Honey, I think I've made a breakthrough."

"Great! Ningning has broken through!" Ye Chen clapped and cheered.

Then he noticed that Gu Ning suddenly turned around and stared intently at him.

"Tell me honestly, have you been pretending to be stupid all this time?"

Ye Chen knew that he would have to tell Gu Ning about his sobriety sooner or later, so he decided to give her a heads-up in advance.

"Yes, I'm lucid sometimes now."

"Ahhh... I'm so embarrassed, you're so naughty!"

Gu Ning's pretty face flushed red, and she punched his chest with her little fists, making a loud thud.

Each of those punches was three-tenths of a Qi Refining Master's power; an ordinary person would have been killed by her long ago.

As she was pounding, she suddenly stopped, cupped Ye Chen's face in her hands, and said earnestly.

"Honey, I want to test your sober state."

Ye Chen also wanted to test whether her claim of being a Qi Refining Master was genuine.

The two hit it off immediately and fought another three hundred rounds.

In the end, Ye Chen, being at the Golden Core stage, prevailed, forcing the female Qi Refining Grandmaster to beg for mercy repeatedly.

He slept until the sun was high in the sky, and without disturbing Gu Ning who was still fast asleep, he took a shower and then went to the Nangong family with Li Muling and Shen Qianqian.

Nangong Qian was already waiting at the door. She picked them up and headed straight for the Nangong family conference room.

Shen Qianqian took out a stack of documents and spoke first.

"Today's small meeting will first take stock of existing resources, and then discuss how to proceed next."

Nangong Qian said solemnly, "Let me first report on the situation of the Nangong family."

"The Nangong family's industries are concentrated in new energy, precision electronics, high-tech innovation laboratories, and two large-scale AI computing centers under construction..."

Ten minutes later, she gave a concluding speech.

"The total value of these assets should be around one trillion, but because the business is too large, it is currently operating at a loss."

After she finished speaking, Li Muling immediately replied, "According to the intelligence held by Lingxiao Pavilion, the Sima family mainly relies on private capital lending, underground financing, and short-term cash flow channels."

At this point, she said with some regret, "However, the Sima family has already transferred most of its assets to Japan, leaving a large number of financial niches vacant."

As the strategist of Ye Chen's small group, Shen Qianqian reviewed the gains Ye Chen made in the two battles yesterday and already had a plan in mind.

The plan has two parts.

First, Shen Qianqian will personally lead all of the Nangong family's high-tech industries to complete the upgrade and transformation within three months and turn losses into profits.

The vast majority of these industries invest in research and development, but with her as a human cheat code, this problem that plagues all high-tech industries is no problem at all.

Next, she plans to integrate AI with intelligent robots to create a groundbreaking product.

Seeing Shen Qianqian's bright eyes, Ye Chen listened with great interest.

AI robots and brain-computer interfaces—this little girl has big ambitions; she wants to bring the entire planet into the cyber age!

As for the financial niche vacuum left by the Sima family, Shen Qianqian directly arranged for the Li family to cooperate with the Hundred Flowers Society.

The Li family will provide the money, while Baihuahui will provide the personnel and channels, and they need to quickly fill the gap before other capital can react.

In this way, they can not only control the economic lifeline of the entire Jiangnan Province, but also revitalize the Hundred Flowers Festival, which has been dormant for many years, at a faster pace.

After hearing Shen Qianqian's plan, Li Muling and Nangong Qian both expressed no objection.

Then, the three women's beautiful eyes simultaneously turned to Ye Chen, who was sitting in the main seat.

Ye Chen was somewhat moved. Less than a month after his return, the power under his command had grown to such a massive scale.

The Nangong family's high-tech industries, the Sima family's financial niche, the Gu family's high-end pharmaceuticals, brain-computer interfaces, the Ye family's e-commerce, the Li family's shipping, ports, and logistics supply chains...

These assets combined amount to at least five trillion, and more importantly, he has regained control of the Ye family over the southeastern region of Great Xia.

He tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the table, calculating the changing situation and its impact on his revenge plan. After a moment, he smiled and spoke.

"Unbeknownst to us, we have grown strong and powerful. However, this may make the higher-ups of the Ye family's enemies uneasy."

Shen Qianqian nodded and said, "The Sima and Nangong families are two thorns that the enemy has planted in the Ye family's territory. Once these two thorns are removed, there will probably be more people from Longdu personally involved. We must take precautions against this as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled coldly, "I've been waiting for them to get involved themselves."

Within a month at most, the Ye family will be able to stabilize their base in Jiangnan Province. At that time, he will no longer be passive, but will be able to take the initiative to launch attacks against the enemy.

Then, he took out the enemy list he had obtained from the Sima and Nangong families and handed it to Shen Qianqian, asking the little girl to decipher it first, and then inquired about the movements of Li Muling and Grand Tutor Yan.

Li Muling frowned and said, "After the Blood Shadow's attack on the Ye family failed, Grand Tutor Yan has kept a very low profile, rarely going out and making any special moves."

The intelligence network I currently possess is only a small part of Lingxiao Pavilion's. Obtaining detailed information is difficult; perhaps he has taken action, but we haven't discovered it yet.

The Hundred Flowers Society still exists, and although it has been silent for many years, it remains a cohesive whole, with its core structure intact.

But Lingxiao Pavilion is different. The Third Master has ignored it for many years, which has led to the current disunity and factionalism within the pavilion.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen directly gave the order to Li Muling.

"Notify all leaders of Lingxiao Pavilion that they must report to me in Lin'an within half a month. Those who fail to do so will be considered traitors, and I will personally take action to clean up their ranks."

Li Muling's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly answered yes.

The master is angry. Some arrogant fellows in the pavilion are likely to suffer the consequences.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and said to Ye Chen.

"I've also obtained some information about Dragon City."
