Two Mercedes-Benz cars followed each other along Red Lion Avenue, heading toward the western suburbs.

Shen Wan gazed out the window as the scenery passed by, her eyes filled with the excitement and curiosity of a newcomer. She partially lowered the car window, allowing the wind to tousle her long hair.

The young girl’s calm profile, bathed in sunlight, seemed as if it had been dusted with a layer of golden powder, and tiny wisps of hair were faintly visible.

Shen Qian kept his eyes on the road, but the corner of his eye captured this scene. His heart felt as if it had been brushed by feathers, causing a tingling sensation.

“Do you notice anything different?” he asked.

Shen Wan turned to look at him, her eyes displaying a sense of bewilderment. “Not really.”

“This is at the foot of the imperial city.”

“So?”

“It’s the center of power, a den of wealth and extravagance. It’s even more alluring than Ning City, but of course, survival here is much more challenging.” “Brother, what are you trying to say?”

Shen Qian lowered his own car window. “This is a good place, and 1 guess you’ll like it.”

Forty minutes later, the cars came to a halt.

Shen Wan alighted and stood still, raising her gaze to the imposing stone gate in front of her. She looked upward and saw a quaint plaque hanging in the center, adorned with dragon motifs and phoenixes soaring amidst the nine heavens. The inscription read “Hot Springs Villa”.

“Let’s go,” He Huai said, taking her hand and leading her inside.

Shen Wan didn’t resist, and she followed obediently. She walked while observing her surroundings, occasionally responding to He Huai’s remarks. “Ah Qian, your sister seems quite easy to tease, doesn’t she?” Song Lin stroked his chin, smiling ambiguously.

Shen Qian didn’t respond.

Song Lin chuckled even more heartily. “In that case, I’ll take your silence as consent.”

Passing through the quaint corridors, they entered a lobby with a completely different style. Luxurious crystal chandeliers and golden pillars complemented each other, and every detail seemed to proclaim, “I’m very wealthy.”

Qin Zeyan had booked five rooms, all on the same floor. Shen Wan realized that apart from being a hot spring destination, this place also served as a hotel.

After receiving their room keys, everyone went to their respective rooms.

Shen Wan had just washed her face and hadn’t had a chance to dry it when the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, she was met with He Huai’s charming smile. “Hi, little Shen Wan!

“He Huai…”

“Hey there! Why call me ‘He Huai’? Just call me ‘Brother’. After all, you’re younger than me.”

Um…

“If you’re uncomfortable with that, you can call me by my name.”

“All right, Ah Huai.”

The man blinked his eyes, a puzzled expression on his face. “Wh-what did you…call me?”

“Your name,” Shen Wan tilted her head and smiled. “Is there a problem?”

“No… can you say it again?”

“Ah Huai!” The girl’s voice was a blend of crispness and ethereality, pleasant but not sharp.

For the first time, He Huai discovered that his name could actually sound quite pleasant. He scratched his head, unable to hide a goofy smile. “Uh… I noticed you didn’t bring any luggage. There’s a department store nearby, and I need to pick up a few things myself. Would you like to come along? I can give you a ride.” He gestured with the car keys he held in his hand.

“Sure.”

“Where are you going?” Qin Zeyan pushed the door open but found that Shen Qian had changed into casual attire and appeared ready to go out.

“Taking Wan Wan to buy some everyday essentials. She didn’t bring anything.”

“No need.” Song Lin followed and waved his hand as he plopped onto the sofa. “He Huai just took her out.”

Shen Qian paused in the act of adjusting his cuffs.

“By the way, what’s going on with the North Sea Resort project? You said you don’t want it anymore?”

Shen Qian’s brows furrowed, and he replied coldly, “It’s not that I don’t want it, but I can’t afford it.”

Song Lin was amazed. “What kind of entity is Hengyi Group? With your abilities, you shouldn’t have any trouble dealing with those small fries.” Anyway, he didn’t believe it.

“Yi Hong has connections,” Shen Qian said with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.

“Wait a minute, are you suggesting… there’s a mole?! Is it real?”

“You’ll find out when you try.” Shen Qian adjusted his collar and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Sixth Lord, we’ve arrived.” Chu Yujian pulled over to the side and looked at the man in the back seat who was resting with his eyes closed through the rearview mirror.

In the next moment, those tightly shut eyes burst open, their depths as deep and dark as the night, radiating a sharp and piercing brilliance.

“Where’s Ling Yun?”

“He went to pick up Third Lord. He probably hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Alright. Let’s go in first.”

On the top floor of the Hot Springs Villa, the luxurious suite specially reserved for the owner, which had been vacant for two years since its construction, was finally about to welcome its master.

Quan Hanting finished showering, put on a bathrobe, and came out. Hu Zhibei and Ling Yun had been sitting on the sofa for a while.

Seeing this, the two men were forced to get up, but Quan Hanting raised his hand to stop them. “Stay seated.”

“Sixth Brother, regarding your request to investigate Hengyi Group last time, I’ve compiled some information.”

“Tell me.”

Hu Zhibei contemplated for a moment, organizing his words. “Hengyi Group originally started in construction materials and later entered real estate. However, due to policy changes, they shifted to hotel development midway. Currently, they own the Sea and Sky Source brand and are among the top ten companies in Beihai. The CEO, Yi Hong, started from scratch, and because of his loyalty and generosity, he has influence in both legal and underground circles. While he may not be entirely aboveboard, he’s not adept at conspiracies and tricks.”

Consider this: how could a simple-minded brute, albeit strong and well-built, create pitfalls for the heir of the Shen family in such a challenging environment? Furthermore, how did he successfully lure the other party into a trap?

Hu Zhibei continued, “There’s definitely something fishy going on here. My guess is that there must have been a problem on Shen Qian’s side, allowing Yi Hong an opportunity. However, this may be for the best. It’s better for Tian Shui Real Estate to purchase that land than for us to fall into a trap. Speaking of which, we should thank Yi Hong.”

“Not necessarily,” Quan Hanting suddenly spoke up.

“What do you mean, Sixth Brother?”

The man looked out the window, his profile bathed in sunlight, exuding a captivating charm. “If we’re thanking someone, it should be the person behind Yi Hong.”

Who could that person be?

Someone who knows Shen Qian well and can foresee natural disasters interesting!

That night, the city lights began to shine.

He Huai leaned against the corridor wall, occasionally checking his watch. He had been waiting for nearly fifteen minutes, but he remained patient. After all, it was for the sake of Wan Wan; waiting for her, no matter how long, was worth it.

“Wan Wan, do you need any help?”

“No, I’m good now.” As she spoke, the door to her room opened from the inside. She appeared in a little black dress, the narrow fabric hugging her slender waist, which could be spanned with a single hand. The hem of her dress barely reached her knees, revealing her perfectly proportioned legs, as fair as snow. The design of the dress revealed her delicate collarbones.

She turned around and spoke with a hint of embarrassment, “Ah Huai, could you help me with the zipper? 1 can’t reach it.”

Boom!

He Huai’s mind exploded instantly. All he could see was the girl’s snow-white back and those beautiful shoulder blades. She was incredibly thin, and her protruding bones became even more pronounced, giving her a fragile yet graceful appearance. She seemed oblivious to it all. “All Huai?”

“Ah! Just wait…,” he said as he wiped away the sweat that had suddenly appeared on his forehead and then proceeded to zip up Shen Wan’s dress.

“All done.”

“Thank you. Is it hot? Why are you all sweaty?”

“It’s, uh, a bit.”

Shen Wan looked at him suspiciously. Was it? Why did she feel like there was plenty of air conditioning, and it shouldn’t be this hot?

He Huai cleared his throat and, in a gentlemanly manner, bent his arm. “Let’s go.. I’ll take you to the underground bar to have a good time!”
