Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 98: I Have the Medicinal Herbs You Need!

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: I Have the Medicinal Herbs You Need!

"And you, you just need to assist me."

Jiang Tianquan’s face was grim. Zhu Baixi was his stepmother and was highly valued by his father. Moreover, over the years, Zhu Baixi had used the Jiang Family’s resources to rally her own supporters. Setting the Jiang Family aside, she was now a top figure in Jinling City in her own right.

Now, with his father’s Chicken Feather Order Arrow in her possession, he was powerless. Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Zhu Baixi watched Jiang Tianquan’s retreating figure, a hint of amusement and cold ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Time to go check on Jiang Tianyi..." Zhu Baixi smiled faintly. It’s time to see my masterpiece.

After returning to his room, Jiang Tianquan grew angrier the more he thought about it. As the heir to the Jiang Family, my father trusts an outsider, allowing this vile woman to walk all over me. This is incredibly dissatisfying. Zhu Baixi’s ambition is also growing by the day as she secretly recruits her own forces. Has my father truly been blinded by her beauty? Is he not afraid that this woman will bite back once her wings are fully grown?

"Hmph, that Chen Xiao fellow isn’t one to be trifled with, either. It might be best to just let those two dogs fight it out."

"However, the major project about to start in Yuncheng City cannot fall into that woman Zhu Baixi’s hands. It must be kept firmly under the Jiang Family’s control..."

"I have to make myself clear to Father!"

He immediately made a call, completely venting his frustrations. An authoritative voice came from the other end.

"Tianquan, Bai Xi is also a member of our Jiang Family. It doesn’t matter which of you gets the development rights to Yuncheng Port; I support you both. You will both be contributors to the Jiang Family. As for how you acquire them, that will depend on your own abilities."

"Yuncheng Port is a mega-port personally commissioned by Longdu! Securing it is of extraordinary significance to our Jiang Family. Do you understand?"

Jiang Tianquan, of course, understood the importance of this mega-port. It’s destined to become a crucial hub for the Divine Land’s future international trade. Securing it will bring unimaginable profits. Furthermore, many of the Jiang Family’s gray-area transactions could be more conveniently shielded and facilitated through the port.

"Dad, Zhu Baixi has malicious intentions. Why would you hand so much power over to her?"

"I have my own judgment on this matter. Bai Xi has also made significant contributions to our Jiang Family over the years. Our family is large, and our enterprise is vast; positions like these have always gone to the most capable!"

"If your abilities are lacking, then even without Zhu Baixi, others will come to compete with you for this position! I have already provided you with innate advantages; the path you take from here is up to you."

"Also, a major deal is about to close in Yuncheng City. Now that Jiang Tiannan is dead, you are to go and handle it personally. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

After these words, all Jiang Tianquan heard was a dial tone.

「Inside the villa.」

A bored Chen Xiao received a call from Lu Wushuang. "Junior Brother, come over quickly! Eldest Senior Sister is in Yuncheng City!"

"Eldest Senior Sister is here?" Chen Xiao’s face lit up. He hadn’t seen his eldest senior sister in many years.

"Yes, and she brought the things you need. Hurry up and get over here!"

"Alright," Chen Xiao nodded quickly.

「A few dozen minutes later.」

At Wushuang Corporation, Lu Wushuang personally came out to greet Chen Xiao, and the two of them went directly to the VIP room.

Inside the VIP room sat a woman in a white dress, her posture ramrod straight, her beauty unparalleled. Upon hearing them enter, she slowly turned her head, revealing an exquisite, pretty face.

"Eldest Senior Sister!" Chen Xiao exclaimed, his surprise tinged with reverence. Back when she was on the mountain, he had received his fair share of beatings from her. This reverence was etched into his very bones. It’s been so many years, and Eldest Senior Sister has become even more unfathomable. She exudes the aura of someone with high status. I wonder how incredibly powerful she’s become out in the world.

He opened his arms, about to go in for a hug.

Leng Baiyu swiftly tapped Chen Xiao on the head with the folding fan in her hand. "Still trying to take advantage of your senior sister? You’ve gotten bold!"

Chen Xiao rubbed his head and grinned awkwardly. "I just missed you."

"I think you were just thinking about those things you wanted, weren’t you?" Leng Baiyu glanced at him.

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"

Lu Wushuang shot him a sidelong glance. "You little rascal, do you think we senior sisters don’t know what’s going on in that head of yours?"

"Enough nonsense. Sit," Leng Baiyu’s voice carried an invisible authority.

Chen Xiao obediently took his seat.

Knowing my senior sisters, Leng Baiyu must have brought what I need. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made a personal trip to Yuncheng City.

After a pause, Leng Baiyu spoke. "Wushuang told me about your situation. Are the precious herbs you’re looking for all essential for treating your special constitution?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Xiao nodded eagerly, his face full of anticipation.

Leng Baiyu took a sip of tea. "I have the herbs you want. However, getting things from me isn’t so simple. You’ll have to do something for me."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s face fell into a grimace. "Senior Sister, I’m your one and only junior brother! How can you bear to extort and threaten me like this?"

"Cut the act." Leng Baiyu couldn’t help but crack a smile before her expression turned cool again. "I have a Sun Fruit and a Volcano Red Ginseng. Do you want them?"

"I do! Of course, I do!"

These are the primary ingredients I desperately need!

"Then here are my conditions," Leng Baiyu said. "In recent years, smuggling in the Jiangnan region has become severe. Furthermore, someone is secretly trafficking illicit drugs."

"There’s a very large organization behind them. We initially followed the trail to Jiang Tiannan and sent a few people to investigate, but the leads we found were negligible."

"This time, I want you to take the lead and dismantle this entire syndicate!"

Chen Xiao gave a bitter smile. "Senior Sister, you know I’m just a laid-back guy... How could I possibly have the ability to handle something so huge?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

I really don’t want to get involved in such a troublesome affair.

"I believe you can do it," Leng Baiyu said with a cold smirk. "Take care of this matter for me, and the two rare herbs are yours. Otherwise, I’ll just throw them away."

"One word: are you in or not?!"
