Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

Ye Chen stayed in Medicine King Valley for another seven or eight days before Su Qinghan allowed him to leave the mountain.

On the day we left, it was not yet fully light, and a thin layer of mist shrouded the valley.

Big Yellow chased their car for a long distance before Su Qinghan called it back.

Ye Chen leaned out of the car window and looked back. He saw Big Yellow squatting at the entrance of the valley, its tail swishing across the ground as if to say, "Come back soon."

Jiang Ruoxi also looked back for a long time.

As she spent more and more time with Su Qinghan, they became more and more like a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Su Qinghan gave her several packets of herbal tea and a few tiny white porcelain bottles, saying they were things she could use regularly.

Jiang Ruoxi packed her things away, her eyes reddening slightly, but she didn't let the tears fall.

It was already afternoon when the car arrived in Jiangcheng.

The heat and noise of the city hit you in the face, like two different worlds from the tranquility of Medicine King Valley.

Ye Chen rolled down the car window and looked at the signs and crowds on both sides of the street, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

It's as if all those fights, chases, water rituals, and blue flames were things from a past life.

He looked down at the red string on his wrist, then at Jiang Ruoxi beside him who was dealing with emails on her phone, before he slowly felt at ease.

They're really back.

At the entrance of the Jiang family villa, He Jianping and several security guards were already waiting.

Seeing the car stop, He Jianping rushed over, pulled open the back door, and looked Ye Chen up and down, his grin wide enough to show his back teeth: "My dear Minister Ye, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to the mountains to live like a wild man!"

Ye Chen patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "I'm fine. You haven't caused me any trouble at the company, have you?"

He Jianping puffed out his chest: "No way! When have I, Old He, ever failed to deliver!"

Several security guards nearby joined in the commotion and pushed Ye Chen into the courtyard.

Jiang Ruoxi smiled and shook her head before going inside.

Aygul and Guipu also got out of the car and followed behind.

Aygul's face remained expressionless, but Ye Chen noticed that she exchanged a few words with He Jianping and even gave a very slight smile.

The ghost servant was still the same as always. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he leaned back in the old chair he usually sat in and closed his eyes.

Ye Chen thought this was a good idea.

Everyone is still here, and every place is still warm.

That evening, He Jianping prepared a feast to welcome Ye Chen back.

Jiang Ruoxi didn't object and even had Xiao Zhou bring over two bottles of good wine.

Han Song and Song Tiezhu also arrived, and the group sat together like it was Chinese New Year.

Ye Chen raised his glass to toast everyone, and finally gave a special toast to Gui Pu and Song Tiezhu.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "When I was in the most dangerous situation on the mountain, you all risked your lives to follow me. I, Ye Chen, have nothing else but to remember your kindness to me. From now on, if anyone is in trouble, my life belongs to all of you."

He Jianping suddenly shouted from the side, his eyes red.

Song Tiezhu just kept his head down and drank his wine, then lightly punched Ye Chen on the left shoulder: "Stop talking mushy stuff and drink."

The ghost servant also picked up his cup, and gave a very faint smile.

During the meal, He Jianping asked Jiang Ruoxi about the company's recent situation, so she gave a brief answer and then brought up the matter of the Yaowang Valley planting base.

He Jianping slapped his thigh in admiration: "President Jiang, your move is even more brilliant than our attack on Blackwater! From now on, once the Medicine King Valley's medicinal herb company is established, our security department will also benefit. We can even say we're half from Medicine King Valley when we go out!"

Ye Chen laughed and scolded him: "Stop patting yourself on the back. Once the base opens, you should go down the mountain and be a herb farmer for three months first."

Everyone laughed and started making a ruckus.

Han Song and Song Tiezhu also relaxed for once.

Han Song said that Old Master Qiao from the provincial capital had asked him to pass on a message that once Ye Chen was fully recovered, he would invite him and Jiang Ruoxi to Longyin Mountain for tea.

Ye Chen agreed.

As night deepened, the crowd gradually dispersed.

He Jianping had drunk a bit too much and was helped into the car by two security guards.

Han Song and Song Tiezhu also went to rest.

The ghost servant closed the courtyard gate, went around to the back, and then returned to his own room.

Aygul tidied up the dishes and quietly went upstairs.

The huge Jiang family villa fell silent again.

Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi sat on the sofa in the living room. The TV was on, but the volume was turned down very low, and neither of them watched it much.

Jiang Ruoxi rested her head on Ye Chen's shoulder and whispered, "It really feels like a dream."

Ye Chen reached out and put his arm around her: "The dream is over, we're still together."

Jiang Ruoxi smiled and leaned closer to him.

Ye Chen looked down at her and saw that she still had some dark circles under her eyes, but the tension that had been taut between her brows and eyes these past few days had finally eased.

He couldn't resist kissing her forehead.

Jiang Ruoxi didn't dodge, she just gently closed her eyes.

After a long while, she finally said, "You'll come with me to the company tomorrow."

Ye Chen said, "Okay, I'll be with you every day from now on. I'll buy you breakfast in the morning and drive you around at night. I'll kick every stray dog ​​that tries to squeeze into the company."

Jiang Ruoxi smiled and said, "You're really wasting your talents as the head of security."

Ye Chen said seriously, "I'm not wasting my talents. I just love being President Jiang's bodyguard."

Jiang Ruoxi reached out and gently pinched his waist.

Ye Chen let out an exaggerated "Ouch!" and the two of them started joking around.

Where Jiang Ruoxi is, that is his city.

Home is where all these people are. He held Jiang Ruoxi's hand tightly and said in his heart, those sad, dangerous, and desperate days are all over.

And next, he will use his medical skills and this sword to protect the people in front of him and make their lives the brightest and warmest.

Not a single step back.

Ye Chen got up very early the next day.

Ye Chen first went to the yard and practiced a set of very slow boxing, then went to the kitchen to fry a few eggs and warm up the porridge.

When Jiang Ruoxi came downstairs, he had already changed into the black uniform of the security department.

The uniform was washed and was crisp, making him look more composed than before.

Jiang Ruoxi leaned against the stairwell and watched him for a while, then said, "He seems quite convincing."

Ye Chen straightened his collar and saluted her: "Good morning, President Jiang. This is Ye Chen from the Security Department. I've been waiting for you."

Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two arrived at the company together, and Ye Chen went back to the security department first.

He Jianping had already gathered all his brothers, who stood in two rows, as if welcoming a triumphant hero.

Ye Chen stood at the front of the line, his gaze sweeping over every face. Some of these people had been with him for a long time, while others had joined later, but at this moment their eyes were shining brightly, as if they were looking at family.

Ye Chen cleared his throat and said, "Everyone has worked hard while I was away. Tonight, the cafeteria will have an extra meal. I'll have Lao He order three whole roasted lambs."

The crowd was stunned at first, then cheered in unison, making the floorboards vibrate.

Hearing the noise upstairs, Jiang Ruoxi's lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

She knew that Ye Chen had really come back.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ruoxi attended a short meeting.

Ye Chen sat in the rest area outside the conference room, drinking tea and waiting.

A junior employee passed by and whispered, "Isn't that Minister Ye? I heard he single-handedly took over the Blackwater headquarters."

Another quickly shushed him, "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see the news? That's just internal strife within Blackwater. Minister Ye went to protect President Jiang."

Ye Chen listened without saying anything, simply lowering his head to drink his tea. Some things are better left unsaid.

Debts in the martial world must be repaid within the martial world itself.

Life at the company is better when it's simple.

After the meeting ended, Jiang Ruoxi came out and saw that Ye Chen was still sitting there. She said to him, "Why don't you go in? There are a few new directors inside who have been wanting to see you."

Ye Chen stood up, took her bag, and said, "The head of security isn't going into the meeting room. I'll wait for you here."

Jiang Ruoxi glanced at him and didn't try to persuade him further.

The two walked side by side toward the elevator.

As Ye Chen passed by the floor-to-ceiling window, he glanced outside.

The buildings in Jiangcheng looked as if they were plated with gold under the setting sun.

Jiang Ruoxi walked beside him, her heels lightly tapping the ground.

Ye Chen suddenly felt that this kind of evening was really nice.

There is wind, there is light, and there is her.
