Chapter 178 A Night Meeting with a Beauty
Shen Lang was standing at the door of Zhao Siyan's house, inwardly cursing his fate. He had evaded over a dozen bodyguards, five hunting dogs, countless electronic eyes, and numerous traps that could be triggered at any moment to reach this destination. Zhao Tianhua's enormous manor appeared harmless on the surface, but if someone showed up uninvited, this heavily armed estate would certainly not be polite.
Shen Lang thought to himself, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. It seems Zhao Tianhua has done quite a few wicked things."
Shen Lang smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that seeing his wife had become such a complicated affair, almost like an affair. He must have committed some terrible sins in his past life. ...
These past few days had been very difficult for Zhao Siyan. Every night, she couldn't help but think of Shen Lang, and the thought would last all night. She couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and had lost weight.
Ever since that night when she and Shen Lang had their breakthrough encounter, Zhao Siyan had been longing for that intimate feeling. However, Shen Lang was busy preparing for the college entrance exam, so Zhao Siyan didn't want to bother him.
Shen Lang had just finished his exam, and Zhao Siyan couldn't wait to find an excuse to bring him over, but what excuse could she use?
She couldn't think of one for a moment. Should she say, "Brother Lang, I missed you, come quickly!"
? Wouldn't that be too direct and embarrassing?
Just then, the police received a report from the public that two female corpses had been found in the suburbs. Zhao Siyan was called from her self-pitying bed by a phone call from the station to participate in the investigation.
After investigation, Zhao Siyan discovered that this body disposal case was very similar to several previous cases of abuse and rape, and she immediately suspected Zhou Zijun.
However, like the previous cases, Zhao Siyan and her team found no substantial evidence.
After much deliberation, Zhao Siyan decided to use Shen Lang to eliminate the despicable father and son, ending the matter once and for all. This led to the phone call she made earlier. She hoped to use this opportunity to see Shen Lang, killing two birds with one stone.
Initially, Zhao Siyan felt she was being unreasonable, using such an opportunity to see her beloved. But she quickly reasoned, "Girls, I've had my beloved avenge you, so don't blame me for using this opportunity to secretly meet my lover, right?"
These past few days, Zhao Siyan felt incredibly embarrassed every night. Since her intimate encounter with Shen Lang in the bathroom, she found her resistance to lust growing weaker. One day, she finally couldn't resist and tried masturbating, imitating what she saw in instructional videos. During those moments, she couldn't help but think of Shen Lang. Over time, Zhao Siyan felt she might soon go insane. She subconsciously felt that masturbation was something bad women did, and she didn't want to be a bad woman; she wanted to be a normal person again.
So, Zhao Siyan decided to give herself to her beloved man that very night, ending the days of spending lonely nights by DIY.
For this purpose, Zhao Siyan spent a long time meticulously preparing herself for the first time that night, changing into her specially chosen outfit. Then, her heart pounding, she lay on the bed, waiting for her lover's arrival. After an agonizing wait, the long-awaited, melodious doorbell finally rang. Zhao Siyan nimbly jumped out of bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, calming her racing heart, and rushed to open the door.
Finally seeing her beloved's face, Zhao Siyan felt her heart melt. She realized that longing could truly turn a woman into a lovesick fool. At that moment, Zhao Siyan's eyes were only on Shen Lang; she was completely mesmerized by his handsome face.
Shen Lang held a vibrant red rose in his hand. Seeing the meticulously groomed Zhao Siyan, he froze, almost dropping the flower. Zhao Siyan wore a light blue chiffon lounge dress with a V-neck that was neither too high nor too low, subtly revealing her breasts. Standing sideways by the door, a deep cleavage was faintly visible, arousing the imagination and arousing a desire to explore further.
The dress's cinched waist accentuated Zhao Siyan's slender waist and high, pert buttocks, creating a striking contrast and alluring curves. The hem of the dress was more than ten centimeters above her knees, revealing a large portion of her snow-white, rounded breasts, strongly stimulating Shen Lang's eyes. She was barefoot, her delicate feet exposed to the cool air. Her small ankles, adorable toes, and snow-white, translucent skin were incredibly alluring, making one yearn to hold those beautiful feet in one's hands and caress them wantonly. Shen Lang had seen Zhao Siyan's body before, but none had ever left him as stunned as he was today. She was already a stunning B-cup beauty, and with this meticulously groomed look, her elegant and refined face, incredibly alluring figure, and sweet smile, she instantly captivated Shen Lang, leaving him speechless.
Zhao Siyan, seeing her beloved gazing intently at her, felt a mixture of joy and shyness. These past few days had been agonizing; her mind was constantly preoccupied with Shen Lang's image. Just now, Zhao Siyan had made her decision. Her love was strong and unwavering; tonight, she would give herself to him, for this was the perfect opportunity. She didn't care about the future, the outcome, or how many girlfriends Shen Lang had. She only wanted to be unrestrained, to indulge herself, to offer her most beautiful and pure body, preserved for over twenty years, to the man she loved to the core. Even if it meant seduction, she was willing to do it. Zhao Siyan could no longer control her heart.
Finally seeing the roses in Shen Lang's hand, Zhao Siyan was overjoyed. She couldn't believe any woman had ever received roses delivered at three in the morning, after evading numerous guards and traps. This romance and emotion would stay with her for a lifetime. Zhao Siyan's heart skipped a beat, as if it would leap out of her chest. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Brother Lang, you've come?"
"Yan'er, here, for you!"
After what seemed like an eternity, Shen Lang finally came to his senses and handed her the flowers.
"For me?"
Zhao Siyan knew they were for her, but hearing Shen Lang say it himself still thrilled her. She was overjoyed and surprised beyond words. Seeing Zhao Siyan looking a little dazed, Shen Lang chuckled, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"Ah..."
Zhao Siyan snapped out of her reverie, quickly took the flower, and said somewhat flusteredly, "I like it, I like it very much, I like it so much, thank you, Brother Lang."
Shen Lang said, "Don't thank me, I'm just offering this as a gift. I picked it from your uncle's garden. I searched the whole garden, and this was the prettiest one I saw!"
Zhao Siyan said in surprise, "Uncle's garden? It's heavily guarded there."
Shen Lang was also a little puzzled. He had managed to evade five fully armed guards when he went to pick the flower
, and asked curiously, "Why?" Zhao Siyan said, "Brother Lang, do you know, in this huge manor, only my uncle can grow roses, no one else can. This is my aunt's favorite flower, and my uncle planted it for her. Luckily you were discovered, otherwise my uncle would have fought you to the death!"
Shen Lang laughed, "It seems your uncle and aunt have a very good relationship."
Zhao Siyan said, "That's right, it's so good it makes people jealous."
"Alright, never mind whether they're okay or not, may I come in now?"
Shen Lang said with a smile.
"Ah...of course...come in quickly!"
Zhao Siyan's face was burning hot. She hurriedly turned around, touching her chest with her delicate hand, her heart pounding even harder.
Now she was about to seduce Brother Lang, but she had no experience. How exactly did she seduce him? Was it like in the TV dramas?
Zhao Siyan's face burned even hotter.

Chapter 178 A Surprise for You
"Brother Lang, what would you like to drink?"
Zhao Siyan finally remembered a phrase that hosts usually say to their guests.
Shen Lang was taken aback, then casually said, "Yan'er, don't bother, I'm not thirsty."
Shen Lang's words were somewhat insincere; in fact, he was also very thirsty. Staring at a cool, beautiful girl for a long time would make anyone thirsty, especially if she was also playing hard to get. However, drinks wouldn't relieve this thirst, so it was better not to drink at all. As for what would relieve it… well, we all know what that means.
"Then… eat some fruit, I'll peel some for you!"
Zhao Siyan said, and before Shen Lang could refuse, she picked up a fruit knife and started peeling an apple. She just wanted to do something, otherwise her mind was too chaotic. She couldn't just start seducing him directly, could she? That would be too obvious.
Peeling some fruit would be a way to distract herself. But before she had even peeled a few times,
a cry of pain rang out. In her haste, Zhao Siyan's hand trembled slightly, and her left hand was immediately cut by the sharp fruit knife, a long gash gushing out. The scene was rather frightening.
People in love often appear vulnerable, perhaps due to a dependency. If Zhao Siyan were catching a thief, even if she were being slashed with a knife, she certainly wouldn't be screaming like this; it would almost be exaggerated.
But her beloved was right there. As a woman, she had to scream at this moment, otherwise, how could she get her beloved's attention? Or rather, what man would like a woman who wouldn't cry out in pain after being cut? If that's the case, she probably wouldn't scream in bed either; she might as well buy an inflatable doll.
So, Zhao Siyan let out a very fake cry of pain, while simultaneously furrowing her brows—a beginner-level performance. Shen Lang saw Zhao Siyan's injury, and regardless of how much pain was actually in that cry, his heart tightened. He immediately grabbed Zhao Siyan's cut finger and, without thinking, put it in his mouth, gently sucking on it.
"Mmm..."
Zhao Siyan found her finger in Shen Lang's mouth. A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body, making her weak and causing her to lean against Shen Lang's chest, her starry eyes half-closed, looking shy and bashful.
This leaning motion was quite natural; she could actually stand, but was it necessary to stand at this moment?
Lying in a man's arms, she didn't need a justifiable reason, or rather, she didn't need one at all.
Shen Lang used a gentle bit of his true energy, combined with his saliva, to soothe Zhao Siyan's torn wound, slowly and carefully repairing it. Soon, the long wound healed completely, without even leaving a scar. Zhao Siyan stared at this, dumbfounded, her shock churning like a tidal wave. What was happening? The cut had miraculously disappeared, not only was the pain gone, but there wasn't even a trace left. This bizarre event was far beyond her comprehension. Did Brother Lang possess magic?
But how could that be? He wasn't a god!
"This... Brother Lang, you... what exactly..."
Zhao Siyan hesitated, or rather, she was a little speechless, her mind a bit blank.
"Silly girl, it's nothing, I just used my true energy to heal you." Shen Lang gently held Zhao Siyan in his arms. This feeling was wonderful, warm, and sweet; even Shen Lang's voice had become gentler.
Lying in Shen Lang's arms, Zhao Siyan felt as if she were floating on clouds, incredibly happy, and unwilling to get up. Even her eyes began to glaze over, expressing her bliss.
The room was quiet, with only one sound remaining: the beating of a heart. Zhao Siyan thought strangely, "So a heart can be this strong and powerful!"
"Yan'er, I love you!"
Shen Lang suddenly said, even he himself felt a little strange, as if the words were already on his lips, and saying them was just a casual remark.
What? These words were like a bolt from the blue. Zhao Siyan's half-closed eyes instantly widened, staring at Shen Lang in disbelief. She had been dreaming of hearing these words, and now that the moment had finally arrived, Zhao Siyan couldn't believe her ears. Shen Lang repeated, "Yan'er, I like you, I love you, I want you to be my girlfriend, my wife, and the mother of my son!"
Zhao Siyan was stunned with joy. She thought she must have misheard. The man she had longed for day and night, the man she dreamed of, had actually formally confessed his love to her. This immense happiness came too quickly, too suddenly, too unbelievably. Zhao Siyan thought she was dreaming. She bit her tongue, and a sharp pain shot through her. This was real, this wasn't a dream!
Although the two had already done some intimate things, there hadn't been a formal confession, which was a knot in Zhao Siyan's heart. Women often care about formalities, such as marriage. If a man can't meet their requirements for marriage, they would rather break than accept it. Although Zhao Siyan didn't care so much about marriage, and didn't expect Shen Lang to choose her as his marriage partner from among his many girlfriends—she lacked confidence—she did care about a formal confession, a ceremony to express her love.
"Brother Lang, is what you said true?"
Zhao Siyan asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Looking into Zhao Siyan's eyes, Shen Lang said earnestly, "It's true, Yan'er. Today I formally confess my feelings to you. I've avenged my little sister, and I think I'm worthy of you being my girlfriend now. Promise me, I'll treat you well, I'll treat you well for the rest of my life."
Zhao Siyan burst into tears of joy, forgetting all restraint, and hugged Shen Lang tightly, sobbing, "I promise you, Yan'er promises you, and I thank you on behalf of my unfortunate sister!"
Although Shen Lang knew perfectly well that Zhao Siyan would agree, he was still overjoyed and couldn't help but kiss Zhao Siyan's red lips deeply. The soft, moist feeling captivated him, and his kisses became increasingly passionate. Zhao Siyan was captivated by Shen Lang's passionate kiss, completely letting go, her tongue reaching out willingly, allowing her lover to take as he pleased.
After a long while, the two, almost breathless, finally separated. Zhao Siyan, her face flushed, whispered, "Brother Lang, wait a minute, okay? I have a surprise for you."
Shen Lang, dumbfounded, replied, "Okay."
A moment later, Zhao Siyan emerged from the bedroom, having taken off her short skirt and changed into a thin, small lingerie that nearly made Shen Lang's eyes pop out. Her snow-white shoulders were exposed, smooth and delicate, barely covering her shapely buttocks, her long, snow-white legs almost completely exposed. However, the lingerie was practically transparent; without a bra, her flawless, proud body was faintly visible, even more alluring than if she were naked.
Shen Lang was stunned. So this was the "surprise" she had mentioned—and it truly was a surprise!
Shen Lang's admiring gaze lingered on every part of Zhao Siyan's body. If he had to describe his feelings in a single word, he couldn't find one. Language was inadequate, description was superfluous; only the desire and feeling in his heart were real and undeniable.
Zhao Siyan blushed and looked at him with seductive eyes, saying, "Brother Lang, I just bought this. Do you think it looks good?"
Shen Lang's soul had already flown away, and he could only murmur repeatedly, "It looks good, it looks good, of course it looks good!"
Almost losing control, Shen Lang couldn't help but rush forward and hug Zhao Siyan, kissing her beautiful face, her smooth shoulders, her soft and smooth neck... The smooth, watery feeling made Shen Lang feel as if he were going bewitched. However, the next moment, Shen Lang released Zhao Siyan with great composure. Zhao Siyan was slightly surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Lang smiled apologetically, "How could that be? Yan'er is too beautiful. I wish I could devour you whole right now! But there are some things I must make clear to you, because..."
Zhao Siyan knew what Shen Lang wanted to say—it was nothing more than the fact that he had other girlfriends. However, Zhao Siyan was quite open-minded. After eight years, being able to see Brother Lang again and receive his love was already a blessing from heaven. What more could she ask for?
Zhao Siyan smiled and wrapped her arms around Shen Lang's neck, her pretty face flushed with spring, her eyes alluring, and she said softly, "Brother Lang, I don't care how many women you have, I only care if you love me. As long as Brother Lang loves me, that's enough. Brother Lang, Yan'er has been thinking about you every night these past few days. When I can't help thinking about you anymore, I can't help but do those shameful things... Now, Brother Lang is finally here, and I want to be Brother Lang's woman!"
Hearing these bold words of love, Shen Lang's lust rose sharply. He could no longer restrain himself and gently nibbled at Zhao Siyan's firm, full breasts under her bra. The two rosy nipples gradually perked up, standing proudly at the highest point of her breasts.
The next moment, Shen Lang swept Zhao Siyan, whose eyes were already hazy and dreamy, into his arms and carried her into the bedroom while kissing her passionately. He said, "Okay, Brother Lang promises you, tonight, Yan'er will be Brother Lang's woman."
Zhao Siyan let out a soft moan and buried her head deeply in Shen Lang's arms. She was overjoyed. All the longing and hardship she had endured day and night had been for this moment. Nothing could stop this love from happening. Today, the two of them would perform the most sacred ceremony and belong to each other completely.
The next moment, Shen Lang carried Zhao Siyan onto the bed, rolling around a few times before lying on her soft body, observing her beautiful face up close. Beneath her delicate, spring-mountain-like eyebrows were a pair of deep, mysterious eyes; her nose, as finely sculpted as a masterpiece, possessed a unique sensuality; her beautifully curved, soft lips made Shen Lang want to gently bite them; her pointed, exquisite chin added infinite allure to her captivating beauty, making her a near-flawless face.
Zhao Siyan's milky-white, transparent silk bra could barely conceal her proud, shapely breasts, and below, her long, shapely legs exuded endless charm. Her captivating allure made 99.99% of women in the world pale in comparison; she possessed a beauty that dared not be profaned.
Words were superfluous. Shen Lang could no longer restrain himself and began the primal baptism of Zhao Siyan's transition from a girl to a woman...

Chapter 180 A Huge
Wave The editor of the Xiajing Times was now looking at the photos taken by all the reporters and the freshly printed news articles, his face contorted with laughter. He took a final drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray, his smugness beyond words. Damn it, this time he could finally hold his head high!
Front Page Headline: The Sordid Villa Complex—An Exhibition of Social Evil!
Famous Entrepreneur and Philanthropist xxx Dies from Exhaustion!
A High-Ranking Official xxx from a Certain Department and the Chairman xxx of a Famous Listed Company Are Involved in a Homosexual Relationship and Suspected of Money-for-Power Transactions!
A Major Drug Trafficking Case: Drug Dealers Mysteriously Poisoned and Sent to the Hospital, Their Fate Uncertain!
A Major Human Trafficking Gang Suffers Internal Strife, Three Dead and Six Injured, Suspectedly Due to Jealousy Between a Woman!
Zhou Liangshan, deputy director of a police station in a district of Xiajing City, was attacked and killed. A huge amount of unexplained wealth was discovered, and he is suspected of being assassinated by enemies!
Furthermore, his son (below) was seriously injured and is suspected of raping and murdering several young girls…
Looking at the increasingly sensational and outrageous headlines on the draft, each one would normally be a front-page story. But now, all these precious headlines appearing in the same issue of the newspaper at once, the editor felt a pang of regret. If only one of these things came out each day, it would be so much better. Publishing them all at once was such a waste of the country's dirty resources. The editor chuckled. So this is what smugness feels like! It reminded him of the day he first sat on the editor-in-chief's throne. He was so excited he almost jumped up and shouted. Although he hadn't slept well all night after being woken up from his mistress's bed by a mysterious phone call, he was now more energetic than ever. He thought to himself, "After I finish these next two days, I'll definitely go find that little vixen and have a good time for a couple of days."
The editor was congratulating himself on his good luck. Was it just that good fortune always seemed to come in clusters? He'd barely made one of the newspaper's most sought-after women his own, and now another event, destined to be a media earthquake, had struck. When he received that mysterious phone call last night, he was still somewhat incredulous. So he sent the reporter closest to the villa complex to investigate. When he was told the situation was true, he nearly went crazy. He immediately ordered all the reporters remaining in Xiajing City to gather, concentrating the newspaper's manpower, resources, and finances to report on the matter relentlessly. He even played a trick, waiting until he had taken enough photos before notifying the police, and then contacting a well-connected television station in Xiajing City—he was sure to be rolling in tips.
Today, the Xiajing Times was published three hours later than usual, which puzzled many loyal readers, some even cursing. But when they finally received the newspaper, they were stunned. They simply couldn't believe it… Was today April Fool's Day?
He glanced at the date cautiously: June 11th, no, not April 1st… Could it be that China has created a new April Fool's Day? Surely it can't be that absurd?
After a long while, those who received the newspaper began excitedly reading today's news word by word, more seriously than ever before. The entire city was practically in chaos; everyone was doing the same thing: reading today's newspaper with the meticulous care of elementary school students, not wanting to miss a single punctuation mark.
Everyone had only one thought: Is this true? Are there really so many sordid things hidden behind those luxurious villas?
With this question in mind, the sales of today's Xia Jing Times increased fivefold. Regardless of what happens in the future, it is the uncrowned king of the city today.
Public opinion was in an uproar, the whole country was shaken. At this time, Huajing TV also began a 72-hour live broadcast, igniting Huajing once again. Photos were no match for the shock of images! …
In a mysterious room, a young man named Tie Ying was reporting something to a graceful and elegant middle-aged woman. The middle-aged beauty had a calm expression and gentle eyes, exuding an air of noble birth. She sat there impassively, giving the impression that she held the world beneath her feet.
Tie Ying's demeanor remained consistently respectful, as if this woman were his absolute ruler. In fact, the middle-aged beauty was his ruler; his ancestors had been her slaves ever since.
The middle-aged woman listened, a graceful smile appearing on her face. She said, "This little fellow really knows how to cause trouble. He stirred up such a huge mess without a sound, probably thinking he's some kind of superhero. He's really a bit too arrogant. Even if Zhou Zijun is no good, he's still an outer disciple of the Right Sect. If he angers that old monster of the Right Sect, he could easily send a few protectors, and that kid would be in deep trouble. He didn't even bother to cover his tracks afterward, really thinking he'd gotten away with it. What a rascal!"
Tie Ying said, "Madam, perhaps that kid is really lucky. The reporters from the China Times only notified the police after taking the photos. Now the crime scene has been completely destroyed, and the police definitely won't find anything."
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Tie Ying, you did a great job. In your opinion, what level has that kid's skill reached?"
Tie Ying said, "I estimate between the fifth and sixth level."
"How many years did it take you to reach that level?"
"Ten years!"
The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "He's only been here for three months!"
Tie Ying said, "Madam, I'm not just saying this out of sarcasm, but this guy is either a genius or just incredibly lucky." "How so?"
"I think he must have some special cultivation method. If we want to find out, we can't do it without direct contact."
The middle-aged woman said, "Now is not the time. The Right Sect is also watching him. If we contact him, the Right Sect will definitely interfere, and there will be trouble. Let's wait and see. Notify the elders to deal with their current matters as soon as possible. Within a year, there will be a major war between us and the Right Sect."
Tie Ying bowed and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
He was about to bow and leave when the middle-aged woman stopped him and said, "Wait!"
Tie Ying said, "What else do you need
, Madam?" The middle-aged woman said, "Regarding Shen Lang, you should continue to follow him. Don't show yourself unless necessary. Report to me if anything happens. I'm going to America soon to handle a very important matter. Don't come to me unless it's important."
Tie Ying bowed and said, "Yes, Master." ...
In a huge manor, Yuwen Zhiang was talking to an old man in a large garden. The old man was about 10 years old, with white hair and beard, and had an air of otherworldly wisdom. However, his gaze was somewhat sharp, and a single glance from him would make one's scalp tingle.
Although Yuwen Zhi'ang had always been critical of the old man, he remained trembling with fear in his presence; the old man exerted immense pressure on him.
The old man said, "Don't make a fuss about this. If the Zhou family arrives later, you can receive them. I don't want to get involved. That boy is under Zuo Zong's protection; I don't want to completely break ties with him." Yuwen Zhi'ang replied, "Yes, Master, I will handle it."...
In contrast to the hustle and bustle outside, Zhao Siyan's boudoir was filled with the warmth of spring, tenderness and affection. The two, seemingly tireless, were making love on the large, soft bed, neither wanting to stop!
After an unknown amount of time, exhausted, they finally reached their climax, embracing each other and enjoying the afterglow. Although tired, they were in high spirits, without a trace of sleepiness.
Zhao Siyan lay comfortably in her beloved's arms, still captivated by the pleasure that had nearly made her faint. Although her lower body was still burning with pain, it couldn't dampen her joy and delight.
"Brother Lang, you were so amazing just now... I felt like I was going to die..."
Zhao Siyan blushed and openly expressed her satisfaction with Shen Lang. Shen Lang was also utterly enamored with the beauty in his arms. Perhaps due to long-term exercise, her body was incredibly elastic, with an amazing feel to it, but without the muscular look of a typical muscular woman. Her figure was well-proportioned, not voluptuous, but definitely not thin either; perhaps it should be described as perfectly proportioned, especially her breasts and buttocks, as if all the fat in her body was concentrated in those two areas, which fascinated Shen Lang.
"Little darling, are you satisfied? How about we do some more morning exercise?"
Shen Lang said with ill intent.
Zhao Siyan hurriedly begged for mercy, "No... I can't take it anymore, let's do it next time, okay... When will Brother Lang come again?"
Shen Lang said, "You want a second time so soon? Haha, my little darling, if you invite me, Brother Lang will fly back even if it's at the ends of the earth."
Zhao Siyan felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, "Brother Lang, I feel so happy right now. If my sister were still here, and Mom and Dad were still here, I would be the happiest woman in the world." Shen Lang said, "Good wife, don't think about these things anymore. We need to look forward. I will make you happy. I will take care of you for the rest of my life, taking the place of Mom, Dad, and my sister."
Zhao Siyan tightly... Holding Shen Lang tightly, she rubbed her body against her lover, expressing her affection: "Brother Lang, Yan'er loves you so much!"
Shen Lang replied, "Yan'er, I love you too!"
After a long moment of tenderness, Zhao Siyan suddenly asked, "Brother Lang, what exactly did you do to the Zhou family father and son last night?"
Shen Lang said, "The old one died, the young one became stupid, and he was also turned into a eunuch!"
Zhao Siyan burst out laughing and said, "Didn't you turn him into a eunuch last time? Why did you do it again this time..."
Shen Lang suddenly thought of Yuwen Zhi'ang, wondering what this guy's relationship with Zhou Zijun was, which was truly puzzling.
“I think there must be a powerful figure behind this guy who cured him in time, which is why this case happened,”
Zhao Siyan said. “Then things get complicated. If he has a powerful figure behind him, won’t that be bad for Brother Lang?”
Shen Lang said, “It’s alright. It’s not worth offending a living person for a dead one, especially since I’m a pretty capable living person.”
Zhao Siyan said, “Brother Lang, this matter should be on TV by now, right? Let’s check the morning news in Xiajing.”
With that, Zhao Siyan got out of bed naked and ran to the living room to turn on the TV.
When Zhao Siyan dialed Xiajing TV, she was stunned. She saw news she had never seen before. Zhao Siyan murmured, “Brother Lang, did you do all this?”
Shen Lang walked over and also saw the news on TV. He was numb, but a little strange—how could these journalists act faster than the police?
Seeing Zhao Siyan's shocked expression, Shen Lang asked curiously, "What's wrong, Yan'er?"
Zhao Siyan screamed and rushed over, saying, "Brother Lang, you're truly my idol! Well done, very well done!"
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat, relieved, thinking she was blaming him for indiscriminately killing innocent people. Actually, weren't all those people in there guilty of a heinous crime?

Chapter 181 Passing on Skills and Instructions
The sky was gradually brightening, but the two people in bed showed no intention of getting up, continuing their cultivation of the "lazy in bed" technique. ^^ Zhao Siyan hugged Shen Lang, saying in a seemingly coquettish voice, "Brother Lang, tell me about your great achievements."
Shen Lang said, "What's there to talk about? It's all nonsense, mostly lewd and violent, not suitable for children."
Zhao Siyan cried out in protest, scolding, "Brother Lang, do you still treat me like a child? I'm a glorious young woman now."
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat. When did "young woman" have to be described as "glorious"? He had only ever heard of "glorious working women" before. He broke out in a cold sweat again.
"You really want to hear it?"
"Of course! How could I not know my husband's heroic deeds? Besides, I'm a director, after all!"
Shen Lang agreed, saying, "Alright, I'll tell you. But my storytelling skills aren't very good, so don't blame me if I make you throw up!"
Zhao Siyan said, "Okay, go ahead and tell me. I promise I won't throw up. I'm a policeman; what haven't I seen and done?"
Shen Lang chuckled and then recounted in detail everything he had seen, heard, and done in that villa area. When she heard about the ugly and sordid parts, the pretty girl's nose almost crooked with anger. But when she heard about Shen Lang's mischievous actions later on, she showed a completely relieved expression, her face filled with admiration for him.
After listening, Zhao Siyan was deeply moved and couldn't calm down for a long time. She thought to herself, "If only I had Brother Lang's abilities..." Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she said, "Brother Lang, can I ask you for a favor?"
Shen Lang said, "What is it? Tell me!"
Zhao Siyan said hesitantly, "I really wish I had Brother Lang's abilities. Then I could beat up any of those despicable villains and hypocrites I see, which would be very helpful in solving cases." Shen Lang laughed, "What's so difficult about that? What's mine is yours, why would I need to ask?"
Zhao Siyan playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm afraid Brother Lang won't agree, or maybe your kung fu isn't suitable for me to learn."
Shen Lang said, "How could I not agree? Don't worry, it's suitable, very suitable. I'll pass on the kung fu to you now."
Zhao Siyan said with great surprise, "Really?"
Shen Lang joked, "Of course it's true, but there's a small condition." Zhao Siyan: "What condition?"
Shen Lang: "When I teach you kung fu, you have to call me Master."
Zhao Siyan was very embarrassed and said unhappily, "Brother Lang is taking advantage of me, I'm not doing it."
Shen Lang laughed, "I've already taken the biggest advantage of you, why would you care about this?"
Zhao Siyan's face was flushed, but she still refused to agree and said coquettishly, "Brother Lang, please don't talk, let's practice quickly."
Shen Lang said, "No rush, no rush, our kung fu is different from others."
Then, Shen Lang shamelessly explained the "cuteness" of his kung fu, the main idea being that you can practice kung fu just in bed, and the progress is rapid, even more enjoyable than cheating on the college entrance exam.
Zhao Siyan blushed, somewhat disbelievingly saying, "Brother Lang, you're not joking, are you? Who practices like this? It's even more fantastical than in novels, hard to believe!"
Shen Lang replied, "Is there any need to joke about this? It's easy to expose. Besides, where else can you find such a wonderful combination of enjoyment and practice? This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity!"
Shen Lang had just checked his own skill again and found it had improved considerably, essentially reaching the Qing Shen realm. At this rate, Shen Lang was confident he could achieve mastery within five years. Shen Lang was now certain that practicing through dual cultivation was feasible. Having so many girlfriends was a huge advantage and a great convenience; he wouldn't need to act like a womanizer, something he simply couldn't do.
The mysterious figures lurking in the shadows were always amazed by Shen Lang's rapid progress, assuming he had some secret method. In truth, Shen Lang didn't have any secret formula. It was simply because of the small plaque left by Hu Tie that he stumbled upon the method of dual cultivation without a teacher, allowing him to progress so rapidly. Even Hu Tie himself probably didn't fully understand what that plaque was.
Most people, on the other hand, dedicate decades to cultivation, sitting in meditation like a hermit, even practicing abstinence. This is inherently inferior; the most important thing in cultivation is a natural state of mind, letting things flow naturally for success to come.
Zhao Siyan still refused to believe it, saying, "Brother Lang is lying. You must be planning something bad to make up such a... such an embarrassing excuse."
Shen Lang said with ill intent, "Yan'er, don't you want Brother Lang to do something bad to you?"
Zhao Siyan blushed and said shyly, "Of course... I do, but I don't want Brother Lang to use the excuse of practicing martial arts, that wouldn't be pure." Shen Lang understood. So this girl was concerned about this "motive issue." She even valued purity. He said, "Yan'er, everything I said to you is true. I've already done some preliminary modifications to your body. You can check it yourself. The most obvious thing is that your strength has increased a lot. Try it if you don't believe me."
As he spoke, Shen Lang handed her a glass, gesturing for Zhao Siyan to hold it.
Zhao Siyan took the glass with some doubt and was about to squeeze it when something happened to her utter astonishment. The glass shattered as soon as she exerted force, shards of glass scattering all over the room.
Looking at her hand, she was completely unharmed.
Zhao Siyan was so surprised she couldn't speak. Then she noticed something else: the skin on her hands seemed even better. Zhao Siyan was completely stunned. Her skin had been quite good before, but compared to now, it was worlds apart. Now, her hands radiated a milky, luminous glow, perfectly smooth and flawless, even more delicate than a newborn baby's. Zhao Siyan was stunned for a long time before she finally asked, "Brother Lang, is what you said true? This is unbelievable!"
Shen Lang said, "It's true. When we were doing that kind of thing just now, my inner energy automatically entered your body, helping to transform it. Now your body is ready for beginner-level cultivation. Given time, you will become a master."
Zhao Siyan was overjoyed, almost dumbfounded. She never imagined she could become a master one day. The skill of crushing a glass with bare hands without injury was something few in the police station could do. Zhao Siyan exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Lang, you're amazing! I admire you so much, you're so great!"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Don't admire me. I have a purpose in having you practice martial arts."
Zhao Siyan's heart skipped a beat. "What purpose?" she asked.
At that moment, Zhao Siyan felt a pang of sadness. Could it be that Brother Lang was teaching her martial arts for a specific purpose? Or perhaps he wanted to use her?
Shen Lang, of course, was unaware of Zhao Siyan's thoughts and continued, "I have two purposes. First, you're a police officer, and you often face danger. If you practice this skill, it will not only help you in solving cases, but more importantly, it will be like having me by your side, replacing you and giving you an extra layer of protection. That way, I can feel at ease. You know how increasingly vicious and ruthless criminals are these days. I can't persuade you to give up your job as a police officer, but I can give you more protection. Practicing this skill will be like having an extra layer of bulletproof vest." So this was Brother Lang's real purpose! Zhao Siyan was now filled with deep regret. Why had she doubted Brother Lang's motives? Didn't she believe in his love for her? Zhao Siyan hated herself, and tears streamed down her face.
Shen Lang was shocked and asked, "Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Zhao Siyan squeezed into Shen Lang's arms and said, "Brother Lang, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you just now. I doubted your motives. Yan'er is so bad. Yan'er is so sorry. Brother Lang, I'm so sorry."
Shen Lang hugged Zhao Siyan tightly and said, "Yan'er, it's okay. Brother Lang doesn't blame you. It's Brother Lang's fault for not speaking properly, which made you misunderstand."
Zhao Siyan said, "Brother Lang, please do something bad to me again. I won't doubt you anymore." Shen Lang said, "Yan'er, it's okay. Brother Lang really doesn't blame you. You don't have to do this."
Zhao Siyan said, "Even just a little bit would be fine. I beg you."
Shen Lang kissed away the tears on Zhao Siyan's face and said, "Yan'er, it's only natural for you to think about other things. It's really not a big deal. If you hadn't said anything, how would I have known? The fact that you were brave enough to say it shows that Brother Lang looks at you differently. It proves that your love for me is unconditional." "I will never doubt this. And I assure you, my love for you is completely unconditional. I have no secrets from you, understand?"
Zhao Siyan nodded firmly and said, "Thank you, Brother Lang!"
Shen Lang affectionately stroked Zhao Siyan and said, "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? Right, now I'll tell you my second purpose."
Zhao Siyan said, "Brother Lang, go ahead!"
Shen Lang said, "Remember our agreement in that interrogation room? From now on, if you encounter any difficult situations while handling cases, and it's inconvenient for you to appear in person, leave them to me." Zhao
Siyan said, "I remember, that's why I called you just now."
Shen Lang said, "Don't discuss these things over the phone in the future. It's best to say them face-to-face. You're a police officer; you should know that phone calls can be monitored."
Zhao Siyan playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "I was in such a hurry back then that I forgot. I won't do it again."
Shen Lang said, "From now on, you need to be smarter. If you encounter a problem you can't solve, suppress it first. If you encounter someone you can't deal with, follow them and wait for me to come and handle them. You absolutely mustn't take any risks."
Zhao Siyan was deeply moved and nodded heavily.
Shen Lang: "Now I'll tell you about this skill. Our skill is called the 'Bone Refining Technique'..."
Shen Lang then gave Zhao Siyan a brief explanation of the Bone Refining Technique and recited the incantation for the beginner's method.
Unlike Shen Lang's initial self-exploration, Zhao Siyan had a "master" and Shen Lang's help in building a solid foundation, so her progress was incredibly rapid, making Shen Lang a little jealous.

Chapter 182: Losing Face True
Qi circulated between the two of them. Because it was their first time practicing, Shen Lang didn't use that method, but just practiced normally. After all, Zhao Siyan had just transformed from a girl into a woman, and that area was no longer suitable for combat. He could only resort to expediency. Shen Lang comforted himself with this thought, thinking there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Half an hour later, the effects of the cultivation began to wane, and Zhao Siyan's first cultivation session ended under Shen Lang's guidance.
After emerging from the state of complete absorption in the world, Zhao Siyan couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Brother Lang, that feeling was so wonderful! I felt like falling asleep, but I was also very awake. My mind was completely blank. I was floating in mid-air, and the world seemed to be a chaotic, undeveloped void, a vast expanse of white, seemingly shimmering with some kind of light, though I couldn't make out what it looked like. It was so strange! Then I felt my body start to feel heavy, as if I was falling. The white expanse around me gradually turned gray and dark, and then..." "You're awake."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "This is the realm of cultivation. At first, you felt like you were floating in the air because you inhaled more innate energy, also known as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, than acquired energy, so you felt light and airy. As time goes by, the density of spiritual energy begins to decrease, and the turbid acquired energy begins to increase, which slows down the cultivation speed and reduces the effect. That's why I woke you up." Zhao Siyan only understood part of what he meant and continued to ask Shen Lang questions about what she didn't understand. Shen Lang naturally answered all her questions, and so, they asked and answered each other for more than half an hour.
Suddenly, Zhao Siyan smelled a pungent odor. Upon closer inspection, she discovered many stains on her body and screamed in alarm, "Brother Lang, what happened to me? I'm so scared!"
Shen Lang laughed, "It's alright, this is a process of cleansing your marrow and tendons, gradually expelling impurities from your body. This process will need to be repeated several times, and it will be gone once you're clean. Don't you feel much lighter than before?"
Zhao Siyan tried it a few times and was so happy she almost cried, saying, "Brother Lang, thank you! This feeling is wonderful! I feel so light I almost have no weight!"
Shen Lang said, "Don't say those things, go and wash up quickly!"
Zhao Siyan nodded and said, "Brother Lang, won't you wash with me?"
Shen Lang was taken aback, but that was exactly what he wanted. He picked Zhao Siyan up and rushed to the bathroom...
After their bath, both of them felt refreshed, especially Zhao Siyan, whose skin looked many times better than before. Her fresh-out-of-the-bath beauty almost stole Shen Lang's soul. Zhao Siyan, dressed only in a thin, slightly tight loungewear dress, busied herself in the kitchen like a dutiful wife, while Shen Lang sat in the living room like a king, watching his beautiful wife's busy figure, his heart filled with satisfaction and sweetness.
Breakfast was quickly prepared, and their sweet breakfast time began.
While eating, Shen Lang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yan'er, do you still have that super cosmetic from last time?"
Zhao Siyan, unsure of Shen Lang's intentions, casually replied, "Yes, Brother Lang, do you want it?"
Shen Lang explained, "It's not that I want it, have you forgotten our grand plan to make a fortune? We need to launch it, push it into the market, and make enough money from those rich people!"
Zhao Siyan said somewhat awkwardly, "But I have very little here, just enough for myself, how can I make money?"
Shen Lang laughed heartily, "Silly girl, how can what you made by hand be enough? This thing needs mass production. First, we need to apply for an invention patent, then open a factory, and use machines to produce it. Give me some samples first, and then give me the formula..." "I'll find someone to handle the patent matters. As for the factory, we don't need to build our own factory in the short term, just a processing plant will suffice. This way, we can start production as soon as possible, produce the products quickly, and build a reputation. Once we make money, we'll have more power to do more things and help more people. Money is a neutral thing; it all depends on who controls it."
Zhao Siyan's eyes lit up as she listened, saying, "Brother Lang, I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. I've never thought of that before." Shen Lang said, "I learned this from Yi Xueman."
Zhao Siyan asked in confusion, "Yi Xueman? You mean our national idol and superstar Yi Xueman? How did you learn from her?"
Shen Lang smiled and explained his friendship with Yi Xueman.
Zhao Siyan suddenly realized and said, "No wonder. By the way, Brother Lang, how's the factory going? Actually, this stuff isn't too hard to mix, the most important thing is that it needs to be precise and the environment needs to be extremely clean. These two conditions are very demanding. Unfortunately, my uncle is in the real estate business, so he doesn't have the necessary resources."
Shen Lang said, "It's alright. I already have some preliminary plans for the processing plant. Do you remember Ji Xiyan?"
Zhao Siyan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that girl with the amazing figure, she's really enviable!"
Shen Lang said, "Hehe, yes, that's her. Her father is a big businessman, and he has a large..." "The group also deals in cosmetics; they produce the famous Ji's series, and the product quality is quite good. Therefore, I've decided to seek cooperation with Jinghua Group." Zhao Siyan asked, "Is it reliable?"
Shen Lang replied, "Don't worry, it's fine." Zhao Siyan said
, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news, Brother Lang."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a surprise!"
Zhao Siyan said, "Okay!"...
After breakfast, Shen Lang went to see Lin Yan. He, being an outsider, didn't understand patent applications; it required an expert to handle it. In the end, the matter fell to Lin Yan's girlfriend, Xu Ruo, which Shen Lang was relieved about. Then, Shen Lang went to see Ji Xiyan without stopping, asking her to introduce him to her father.
Ji Xiyan was now completely devoted to Shen Lang, so she naturally called her father without hesitation. The phone rang for a long time before being answered.
"Ji Jinghua, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
"Ji Jinghua?"
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat. Ji Xiyan's first words stunned him. A daughter talking to her father like that? How rude!
Ji Jinghua seemed a little surprised to receive his daughter's call. After confirming it was her voice, he felt flattered and stammered, "What made you think of... ah... calling this old man?"
"I need to talk to you. Are you free?"
Ji Xiyan's words were still direct and harsh. Surprisingly, Ji Jinghua wasn't angry at all; instead, he continued to speak politely.
"Xiao Yan, I'm currently in an important meeting..."
Ji Jinghua's words were rudely interrupted by Ji Xiyan: "How much longer?"
"Uh... half an hour, I guess."
Ji Jinghua broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, no one could hear him. If they knew his daughter was talking to him like that, he would definitely be laughed at, and he, the chairman and general manager, would lose face.
"We'll be there in half an hour!"
With that, Ji Xiyan slammed the phone down, leaving no room for refusal.

Chapter 183 After finishing speaking, let's drink.
Shen Lang stared at Ji Xiyan for a long time, somewhat dumbfounded, and asked curiously, "Honey, do you always talk to your father like this?"
Ji Xiyan glanced at Shen Lang and said matter-of-factly, "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"
Shen Lang said, "It's not a matter of whether it's allowed or not. I just find it strange that you actually called your father by his name, and so confidently. If it were me... well, I don't have a father, but I've never really seen anyone call their father by his name before, unless they're arguing. We're asking your father for a favor now, can't we talk properly?"
Ji Xiyan felt relieved and laughed, "Hehe, it's okay, Brother Lang, it's not my fault, it was all my dad's idea. You might not know, he's a die-hard fan of the legendary children's author Zheng Yuanjie. He has two sets of Zheng Yuanjie's complete works at home, one set he's reading, and one set he's just collecting. He wouldn't even let me touch them. Later, I got so angry that I burned them all." He got angry and actually slapped me. Our relationship has been strained ever since. Later, although he apologized, I just couldn't get close to him.”
Shen Lang couldn't help but ask, “Is that why you call him by his name?”
Ji Xiyan seemed very wronged and said, “No, that's not it! Let me finish! He's a fan of King Zheng, and he imitates him in everything, even his relationship with his children. Because King Zheng always has his son call him by his name, my dad followed suit and made me call him by his name since I was little. What could I do? It's just that he's very hypocritical. He told me that in public, I still had to call him ‘Dad,’ like when guests came to our house or at his company. So later, I almost never went to his company anymore. After a while, I couldn't say ‘Dad’ anymore, so it's better not to go.” Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat again, thinking to himself, “This father and daughter are both extraordinary. A chairman of a large conglomerate who loves fairy tales and is very concerned about his image—it's really intriguing.” ...
Under his daughter's stern command, Ji Jinghua, an extremely busy man, had to quickly end the group's high-level meeting and wait for her arrival in his office. He couldn't help but feel excited; it was the first time in many years that his daughter had taken the initiative to come to the company.
Half an hour later, Ji Xiyan and Shen Lang arrived at the Jinghua Group headquarters, a 50-story comprehensive office building that looked imposing, indirectly demonstrating the Jinghua Group's strength. Companies with slightly weaker strength wouldn't even have their own independent office building, let alone in such a prime location.
Perhaps Ji Jinghua had given instructions, as the two entered the company without any hindrance. A few minutes later, Shen Lang met this business tycoon in the chairman's office on the 36th floor of the Jinghua Group headquarters. Ji Xiyan directly dismissed the secretary, pushed open the door, and gestured for Shen Lang to follow her in.
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat, finally witnessing what arrogance truly meant. He hadn't realized Ji Xiyan's arrogance could be so extreme. Ji Jinghua is 40 years old this year, but he looks no more than 35. No wonder he's the father of such a stunning beauty as Ji Xiyan; he himself is very handsome and has an extraordinary air about him.
"Ji Jinghua, my friend wants to talk to you about something!"
After saying this, Ji Xiyan went straight to Ji Jinghua's desk, pulled her father up, and plopped down in her seat, focusing intently on the computer, seemingly doing something. Ji Jinghua seemed used to this treatment, giving Shen Lang a slightly awkward smile before walking over and gesturing for him to sit on the sofa to his left.
"Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Shen Lang said, "Anything is fine!"
Ji Jinghua smiled knowingly, "Just like my daughter, you both like anything."
Shen Lang felt a little uneasy. Had he figured something out?
At this moment, a young and beautiful secretary brought in tea, saying "Please enjoy" in a soft Wu dialect before leaving. Although Ji Jinghua inherited his father's business, when he took over his father's small factory at the age of 25, his net worth was only a little over 5 million yuan. Fifteen years later, this business genius had transformed the small factory into a behemoth, encompassing several industries including clothing, daily chemicals, and import/export trade, with an annual turnover exceeding 50 billion yuan and profits exceeding 10 billion yuan. He himself had thus entered the top 100 of China's richest people.
Shen Lang sized up his rather young father-in-law, who was also sizing him up. Ji Jinghua tried to glean something from Shen Lang's expression, but he couldn't. He only felt that this young man was like a deep pool, calm and still, always unfathomable. Ji Jinghua observed his daughter again, but she remained as cold and indifferent as ever, showing no fatherly affection whatsoever. He envied other families with daughters who knew how to be affectionate, but his daughter... seemed to have no idea what being affectionate meant. When she was short of money, she would simply ask for it; when she had money, she would vanish without a trace. He, her father, was becoming her ATM, and their home had become her hotel. Seeing Ji Jinghua lost in thought, Shen Lang reminded him, "Mr. Ji."
Ji Jinghua snapped back to reality, somewhat embarrassed by the "Mr. Ji" address. He had expected Shen Lang to call him "Uncle" or something similar, which would at least create a closer relationship. He knew this young man must have something to ask of him.
"You're Shen Lang, right? Why be so formal? Although this is my office, you and Xiyan are friends, so I don't treat you like an outsider."
Ji Jinghua's words were warm; he hoped this warmth, which he couldn't use on his daughter, would work on this young man, otherwise, it would be a waste.
Shen Lang said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ji, but I'm here to discuss business today. I think it's better to be more formal. I don't want Xi Yan's presence to influence your judgment. Let's stick to business." Ji Jinghua was surprised and said, "In that case, why did you have Xi Yan bring you here?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "I'm not the rigid type. If there's a shortcut, I naturally don't want to take the long way around. Time is so precious; I don't want to play cat and mouse with the receptionists in your company's lobby."
Ji Jinghua laughed heartily. This young man was interesting, principled, yet unconventional—a rare quality he admired!
Shen Lang knew from Ji Jinghua's eyes that he had made a good impression.
Ji Jinghua said, "Have some tea! I really enjoy tea. I wonder if you like it too?" Shen Lang
said, "Could we finish talking first before drinking?" Ji
Jinghua was a little surprised and said, "Why?"
Shen Lang said, "I don't feel thirsty right now. Why waste time drinking something?"
Ji Jinghua was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "You're right. My thinking is too rigid. You young people are just different from us." Chapter

184 Super Foundation
Shen Lang said, "We are the juniors, so it's understandable for us to be a little radical. It's harmless. It's precisely because we have seniors like you here that we can do this. ^^" Shen Lang wasn't good at flattery, and his flattery was lukewarm, like lukewarm water, sounding neither painful nor itchy. Ji Xiyan could tell, and she looked disgusted. However, Ji Jinghua, being the one involved, was oblivious and laughed happily, saying, "Don't say that. I've only just transitioned from being a junior myself." Ji
Xiyan felt another chill. She hadn't expected her father to be so easily flattered, reminding her of Kogoro Mouri from *Detective Conan*. Ugh!
Shen Lang glanced guiltily at Ji Xiyan. Although he had come full of confidence and wanted to treat Ji Jinghua as an equal partner, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy; after all, he was, in effect, his "son-in-law."
Shen Lang said, "Mr. Ji, then I'll get straight to the point." Ji Jinghua said, "Speak, let's see what your trump cards are!"
Shen Lang smiled and took out two small porcelain bottles from his bag. The bottles were exquisite and delicate, clearly high-end products specially made in a factory. They were smooth and lustrous like jade, white as frost, without a single flaw, and decorated with elegant bamboo patterns, making them very appealing.
Ji Jinghua asked curiously, "What are these?"
Shen Lang replied, "These are what I want to talk to you about today. This bottle is a super foundation that will never smudge, is moisturizing, breathable, and has no toxic side effects. The other bottle is an analytical solution to be used with it."
"Super foundation? Never smudges? Moisturizing and breathable? No toxic side effects?"
Ji Jinghua couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He had also been in the cosmetics business, and he knew the weight of the words "never smudges," let alone "moisturizing, breathable, and no toxic side effects." This was no simple matter. Previously, the industry had never properly solved the problem of makeup smudging; foundations usually smudged as soon as one sweated or got wet. However, there are ways to prevent makeup from smudging, such as using adhesives or special cosmetic liquids. But these things are usually harmful and can cause significant damage to the skin. Could this major problem really have been solved? Ji Jinghua was highly skeptical, but Shen Lang didn't seem like a fraud.
Shen Lang saw disbelief and even distrust on Ji Jinghua's face. He knew this was perfectly normal; if he hadn't used it himself, he wouldn't have believed that there really was a super foundation in the world that neither smudged nor had any toxic side effects. "Mr. Ji, we can try it out,"
Shen Lang suggested.
Ji Jinghua was very interested and hurriedly asked, "How?"
Shen Lang glanced at Ji Xiyan and smiled, "We have a model ready."
Ji Jinghua looked at his daughter, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Let's give it a try!"
Ji Xiyan glared at Shen Lang, looking like she was saying, "You actually used me as a model? Just you wait and see," and then leisurely came over, washed her face, and applied the foundation as Shen Lang instructed.
Two minutes later, Ji Jinghua stared at Ji Xiyan's face in utter shock. No matter how she washed, the foundation seemed glued to her face and impossible to remove.
Ji Jinghua exclaimed inwardly, "A cosmetic product that absolutely cannot be washed off with water has truly appeared!"
Then, Shen Lang took out the cleansing agent and had Ji Xiyan add a drop to the basin of water. When she washed again, the foundation, which had previously been impossible to remove, came off easily, like thin ice exposed to the sun. Ji Jinghua asked somewhat uncertainly, "Shen Lang, can you guarantee this product really has no toxic side effects and won't damage the skin?"
Shen Lang replied confidently, "Absolutely not. A friend of mine has been using it for years, and her skin is the best I've ever seen on a woman."
Touching the small, beautiful bottle, Ji Jinghua's hand trembled slightly. She thought to herself, "The era of super cosmetics is about to arrive, or perhaps this really is a chance for the company to take off again."
Ji Jinghua asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Shen Lang replied, "I'll be frank. If I'm wrong, we can discuss it further. My general idea is this: we'll contribute the formula as equity, and Jinghua Group will contribute its factory, machinery, and technical personnel to establish a new joint-stock company. We'll discuss the specific shareholdings later. I estimate we'll obtain the product patent within two months. The group will be responsible for company registration and other related matters."
Ji Jinghua pondered for a moment and said, "I think your idea is generally feasible. As the saying goes, 'An army marches on its stomach.' In this commodity-driven era, marketing is the second life of a product. Do you have any plans or ideas regarding product marketing?"
Shen Lang said, "I've also thought about marketing in advance. I have three ideas for now. First, invite celebrities to try it out. Build popularity in the film and television industry to open up sales channels for official production." Because their primary potential customers are them.
Second, try it in beauty salons. A friend of mine owns a chain of beauty salons; we could consider collaborating with her. The clients in beauty salons are usually wealthy and influential, and this super foundation would be incredibly appealing to them. For example, it would be a powerful tool for attending a banquet, allowing them to dance for extended periods without needing touch-ups.
Third, the conventional marketing tactic: free samples. Your company has many famous cosmetic brands; we could offer small samples as a gift to open up sales channels, enough for a week's use. This is a method I borrowed from online novels. Online novels usually have a number of free chapters; once they accumulate enough popularity, they're put on sale for paid reading.”
Ji Jinghua listened, a satisfied expression on his face, and asked, “What are your requirements regarding the personnel composition of the new company?”
Shen Lang replied, “I'd like to recommend a general manager.”
“Oh? Your friend?”
“Strictly speaking, yes, she owns a famous lingerie store and a chain of beauty salons. She has a natural advantage in cosmetics.” Ji Jinghua said “Oh,” and then asked, “Xia Jing has no more than 10 well-known chain beauty salons. What’s her name?”
Shen Lang asked, “He Xinglian. I wonder if President Ji has heard of her?”
Ji Jinghua raised an eyebrow and said, “I remember, isn’t she the daughter of President He Yongming?”
Shen Lang asked, “President Ji knows President He?”
Ji Jinghua laughed and said, “What a small world! Speaking of which, President He is my mentor. He has helped me a lot in business. Otherwise, Jinghua Group wouldn’t be where it is today. When we meet, I have to call him Uncle He.”
Shen Lang smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you two to have this relationship.” Ji Jinghua exclaimed, “I believe…” "Like father, like daughter, and since it was you, Shen Lang, who recommended her, I naturally have no objections. Let's arrange a time for us to have dinner together."
Shen Lang knew that the matter was basically settled and said, "Okay, I'll contact Miss He as soon as I get back. I believe she's very interested in the collaboration."
Ji Jinghua understood Shen Lang's tone and said, "Collaboration? Does Shen Lang have some other ideas?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "I have a slightly immature idea."
Ji Jinghua said, "Tell me about it!"
Shen Lang said, "I'm thinking of bringing Miss He on board. Women's products are generally all sold together, whether it's cosmetics, beauty products, or lingerie. I'm thinking of establishing a new group company, mainly targeting female customers."
Ji Jinghua was taken aback, thinking to herself, "This kid has quite the ambition, but wasn't I the same back then? He really has my old style!"
"This is a matter of great importance, so it needs careful consideration. However, I think if Miss He is willing, I wouldn't mind giving her a hand, as a way of repaying Mr. He's favor. You know, it's easy to repay any debt, but it's hard to repay a favor,"
Shen Lang laughed. "This idea was mine. If you repay Mr. He's favor, wouldn't you owe me one? Haha!"
Ji Jinghua was taken aback, then laughed loudly, saying, "That's true, but... perhaps it's not me who owes you a favor, but you who owes me one?"
Shen Lang was puzzled and said, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Jinghua's expression suddenly turned strange: "Have you already tricked my daughter?" As
soon as Ji Jinghua said this, Shen Lang and Ji Xiyan were startled and couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what Ji Jinghua's attitude was towards this matter. Ji Xiyan said somewhat guiltily, "Ji Jinghua, you figured it out?"
Ji Jinghua said, "Hmph, don't I know you? You've never shown any interest in boys, and you've always been indifferent to me. Yet this time you actually came to see me personally because of Shen Lang. I remember this company building has been built for 10 years, and you've only been here twice. The last time was when you were 6 years old, and your mother brought you here, right? Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you've never cared about the business or your father. However, I'm also a failure as a father, and I rarely care about you either. You treat me like a stranger. But the way you look at Shen Lang is definitely different; that's the way your mother looks at me. You and your mother are practically identical, your expressions and mannerisms are so similar, how could you possibly fool me?"
Shen Lang and Ji Xiyan were both a little dumbfounded. When they arrived, Shen Lang had specifically kept an eye on Ji Xiyan to avoid giving anything away, but he hadn't expected that Ji Jinghua would still see through the deception.
Come to think of it, Ji Jinghua is already forty years old and has been in the business world for twenty years, having seen countless people. Although his relationship with his daughter is not very harmonious, he still understands her very well. It would be strange if Ji Jinghua didn't notice the big changes his daughter has undergone.
Shen Lang didn't want to back out, saying, "Since President Ji has figured it out, I have nothing more to say. I admit, I like Xi Yan, and Xi Yan likes me too, that's all."
Ji Jinghua said with a playful tone, "Shen Lang, don't you think you two are very incompatible?"
Shen Lang said, "You mean age?"
Ji Jinghua said, "It's not just age."
Shen Lang said, "I know what you want to say, but I don't think these are problems. Since we're already in love, I'll take her with me."
Ji Jinghua's tone suddenly became stern: "Now I'll give you two choices. First, break up with my daughter, and we'll continue doing business; second, you two stay together, our business will fall through, and I'll spare no effort to suppress you. At least in Xia Jing, I still have some influence."

Shen Lang knew that Ji Jinghua had the right to say this. He had been working his way up in Xia Jing for over twenty years, building Jinghua Group into its current scale. It would be impossible for him not to have strong connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. It would be too easy for him to suppress an ordinary person if Shen Lang were an ordinary person. ^^Ji Xiyan was furious upon hearing this and shouted, "Ji Jinghua, what did you say? Why? If you dare..."
Ji Jinghua roared, "Shut up!"
Ji Xiyan rarely saw her father angry, and she was immediately stunned. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. Was the tyrant she had witnessed as a child about to return? Hmph, I'm not afraid. If he dares to hit me, I'll have Shen Lang hit him!
If Ji Jinghua knew his daughter's thoughts, he wondered if he would burst into tears of grief and indignation. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home, keeping them only leads to enmity...
Shen Lang seemed to see through Ji Jinghua's bluster. He was really not suited to playing a stern role; when he said "shut up," the corner of his mouth twitched.
Shen Lang found it somewhat amusing, but dared not laugh out loud, and said without hesitation, "I choose option two!"
Ji Jinghua was a little surprised by Shen Lang's decisiveness, but he didn't realize that he had already messed up his performance. "Won't you reconsider?"
Shen Lang said, "I'm not sure if you're testing me, but I want to tell you that you're overthinking it. My feelings for Xiyan are genuine. No matter what, we will stay together for life. I will take care of her for life. What does it matter that she's younger than me? She's more sensible than most adult girls! As a father, you probably don't see her good qualities and strengths as well as I do. She's a little willful, but her kindness makes up for it; she's a little petty, but that's just her true nature; she's not hypocritical or vain, and she's never unreasonable; she's mostly well-behaved and innocent; she's never extravagant, on the contrary, she's very frugal; she studies..." "No, but she's very hardworking, serious, persistent, and persevering. She never gives up easily... In my eyes, she's an angel, someone I can cherish for a lifetime!"
Shen Lang's resounding words deeply moved Ji Xiyan. In disbelief, tears of joy welled up in her eyes, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "Brother Lang, am I really that good?"
Shen Lang wiped away Ji Xiyan's glistening tears and said, "Remove the 'ma' and replace the question mark with an exclamation mark, and you are that good!"
Ji Xiyan smiled through her tears, a rare occurrence. Ignoring her father's presence, she rushed into Shen Lang's arms, turning her head to give him a playful, triumphant look. Ji Jinghua smiled, a genuine, pleased smile. He said, "Alright, I admit I was testing you just now. Perhaps my acting wasn't very good, and you saw through it.
Perhaps I don't understand Xiyan as well as you do, nor can I summarize her strengths like you do. Yes, I've cared too little about Xiyan and too much about business. In this respect, I, as a father, have indeed neglected my duties.
However, Shen Lang, you should be glad you didn't use your relationship to discuss business with me from the beginning, otherwise I would have kicked you out immediately!
As for what happens between you two in the future, I don't want to interfere. Even if I did, Xiyan probably wouldn't listen to me. My only requirement for you is to treat her well. If you cause her any grievances, I will definitely not let you off the hook." Shen Lang said, "Mr. Ji..." "Don't worry, I'll treat her well."
Ji Jinghua laughed, "What, still calling me President Ji?"
Shen Lang was extremely embarrassed, "This...isn't this a bit too fast?"
Seeing Shen Lang's embarrassed look, Ji Jinghua laughed loudly, "What are you thinking, brat? You want to call me father-in-law now? It's not that simple! Call me uncle now!"
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat, caught off guard and tricked by this middle-aged rascal. Looking at Ji Xiyan, she also had a black line on her face. She was probably thinking to herself, how did she end up with such a father...
Text message: "Husband, I need to see you within thirty minutes, or I'm going to cheat on you!"
Upon seeing the text message, Shen Lang's vision went black. He didn't even need to look at the sender to know that it was from Rong Danru. Only she had ever joked with him like this before.
Shen Lang had to say goodbye to Ji Jinghua: "President Ji, I'm sorry, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll have to take my leave now."
Ji Jinghua said tolerantly, "It's alright. Xi Yan, are you staying here with me or going back with Shen Lang?"
Ji Xi Yan seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden. Knowing that Shen Lang had things to do, she didn't want to cling to him anymore, so she said obediently, "Dad, I'd like to visit our family company, is that alright?"
Ji Jinghua smiled, a very happy smile. His daughter hadn't called him that in many years, had she? Although it was because of his request, if it weren't for Shen Lang, his daughter wouldn't have changed so much. His daughter seemed to have become much more sensible all of a sudden! ...
When Shen Lang saw Rong Danru in the girls' dormitory area of Huaxia University, it was exactly 29 minutes after he sent the text message. The beautiful girl was sitting in a red convertible jogger by the roadside, laughing happily.
"Husband, over here!"
Rong Danru waved her hand to greet Shen Lang, ignoring the strange looks from the people around her.
The scene that followed was quite intriguing—Shen Lang had taken a taxi, but was now walking. He was dressed casually, and while he looked fairly handsome, the image of a poor boy hooking up with a rich heiress and then the heiress taking him to a place to live off her was striking. This made many passing men both jealous and contemptuous. In fact, many of them longed to be looked down upon like that, but unfortunately, they didn't have the opportunity. Many girls, however,
didn't seem to mind, and were even envious, probably because they watched too many Korean and Taiwanese dramas—the poor boy/rich heiress trope was all too common!
Shen Lang opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, saying, "Wife, what happened?"
Rong Danru pouted and retorted, "Does something have to happen before I call you?"
Shen Lang said awkwardly, "Of course not, we can meet anytime!"
Rong Danru threw herself into Shen Lang's arms and said, "You rascal, I missed you so much!"
Shen Lang said, "Baby, I'm here now, aren't I? Don't be like this, there are a lot of people watching, and they don't pay for the tour, aren't we at a disadvantage?"
Rong Danru burst out laughing and said, "I don't care, let them watch, let them be angry, let them be jealous, I'm going to stick to you!"
Shen Lang could only smile foolishly, what else could he say? Rong Danru suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how did you do on your college entrance exams?"
Shen Lang replied, "Not bad, should be fine. Hehe, we'll be alumni soon, and I'll bring you two junior girls!"
Rong Danru was pleasantly surprised: "Really? You mean Luo Luo and Xi Yan?"
Shen Lang said, "Hehe, yeah."
Rong Danru looked incredulous and said, "Really? I find that hard to believe. I'd believe you if you said Luo Luo, but Xi Yan… I know a little about her; with her grades, she'd be lucky to get into a third-tier university."
Shen Lang leaned close to Rong Danru's ear and whispered, "But what if you cheated?"
Rong Danru was shocked and exclaimed, "Cheated? Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"
Shen Lang hurriedly covered Rong Danru's mouth with his hand and said, "Wife, keep your voice down. To be honest, we have a secret weapon for cheating."
Rong Danru asked, "What secret weapon?"
"Like telepathy?"
Rong Danru laughed loudly upon hearing this, "What are you talking about? Stop joking, just tell me already!"
Shen Lang didn't speak, saying, "Hurry up and drive away, I can't stand those people's stares, like wolves. My wife isn't someone they can just look at." Rong Danru looked around and found many people closely watching the situation, saying, "Look at your composure, so petty!"
Although she said that, Rong Danru still obediently started the car and slowly drove away under everyone's watchful eyes.
After driving out of the school gate, Rong Danru couldn't wait to ask, "Hurry up and tell me, how did you cheat?"
Shen Lang said, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Then stop the car, or you'll have a car accident."
"Is it that serious?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Danru had no choice but to stop the car in the roadside parking area. As soon as she stopped, Shen Lang used telepathy to say something to her, and she didn't move for more than a few seconds. "This...husband, this...is it really possible?"
Rong Danru felt like she had transmigrated, either to another world or to Jin Yong's world. Only magical or martial arts worlds could have such supernatural events.
Shen Lang said, "Now you know how we cheated, right?"
Rong Danru still asked, puzzled, "Can't those advanced instruments detect it?"
Shen Lang said, "Sound transmission is also called 'thousand-mile sound transmission.' It's an energy fluctuation generated by internal force. It's a kind of energy, but it's neither heat nor sound. It's fundamentally different from things like long-wave, short-wave, and ultrasonic waves. I don't think anyone can give a clear explanation of what it is. As for being discovered... I think scientific instruments are powerless against things that science can't explain."
Rong Danru said, "Then I'm relieved. I was just worried about you."
Shen Lang laughed, "How could that be? Your husband is a genius. By the way, wife, why did you call me here?"
Rong Danru retorted, "Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat, circled around, and returned to his starting point. He said, "I think you must have something good to do, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy and so high-profile, driving such an expensive car." Rong Danru said, "Okay, okay, you guessed right. Look what this is?"
She then took out a beautifully printed card from her small bag.
Invitation? Shen Lang glanced at it and instinctively thought it was an invitation. He took it and saw that it truly was. The antique-style cover prominently featured a still of Yi Xueman from the film, with the words "Broken Bridge" written in large cursive script on the side. The entire invitation was beautifully and refreshingly designed; it was more like a work of art than an invitation. Given that it was for Yi Xueman's film, it was highly collectible and would likely be collected by many.
Shen Lang asked curiously, "Broken Bridge?"
Rong Danru replied, "This was sent by Yi Xueman. Tonight is the premiere of 'Broken Bridge,' and this is an invitation she wrote herself!"
Rong Danru's tone held an indescribable excitement and pride; an invitation personally written by Yi Xueman was indeed rare. Shen Lang suddenly remembered that when they had dinner together at Biyunju, Yi Xueman had mentioned inviting them to the premiere of "Broken Bridge." It had arrived so quickly.
Opening the invitation, he saw it written in calligraphy: "Danru, Shen Lang, please come to the premiere of my movie 'Broken Bridge' at 8 PM on June 10th. Have a good time!
Invited by Yi Xueman Jin, June 6th, xxxx." Shen Lang laughed, "This invitation is very informal."
Rong Danru said, "It's tailor-made, what's the point of being formal? Xueman really understands people's hearts!"
Shen Lang said, "The calligraphy is also quite good, all delicate small regular script, truly a talented woman."
Rong Danru said, "It is good, but it's still a bit behind others."
Shen Lang was a little surprised: "You can write calligraphy too?"
Rong Danru had a "you underestimate me" look on her face: "Why can't I write?"
Shen Lang: "You didn't say that."
Rong Danru: "Did you ask?"
Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat, retreated, and changed the subject.
"You have to prepare for exams, so I didn't want to bother you. The premiere starts today, so I had to call you over."
Shen Lang said, "Where are we going now?" "
Rong Danru said, "Going to buy a dress?"
Shen Lang asked curiously, "Didn't we already buy one for the ball last time?"
Rong Danru gritted her teeth, feeling a bit frustrated, "What a country bumpkin! Different occasions call for different dresses. Besides, I don't have the habit of wearing the same dress twice; it would be so embarrassing."
Shen Lang sighed, "So extravagant! Is this what high society is like?"
Rong Danru said, "Don't talk about me. You'll become extravagant too. In the future, you'll inevitably have to entertain guests in business. Being too shabby will make people look down on you. Also, I heard from Lin Yu and Xing Lian that you've signed with Starry Sky Company. You'll definitely have more exposure in the future, so your image will be even more important. From now on, you need to start paying attention to your image. I'll be your manager and stylist. You don't mind,
do you?" Shen Lang was a little dizzy and said, "Not at all, not at all. I trust you completely!"
Rong Danru laughed smugly, "You're smart! Being your manager means I can be with you every day, sticking to you like glue, making all your girlfriends jealous! You dare steal my man, huh!" Shen
Lang broke out in a cold sweat. So that's what this girl was planning. She clearly said she didn't mind before, but in the end, didn't she still mind?
Perhaps women are all hypocritical? Shen Lang thought to himself, feeling a little dizzy.
