Gu Mang looked at her phone screen and stared at the name “Leng Xuan.” She narrowed her dark eyes slightly.
After a few seconds, Yun Ling sent her three more messages.
[If I’m not wrong, this Leng Xuan must be a member of the Leng family. Her status is probably quite high. Otherwise, Lu Zhan would not be receiving her personally.]
[Three of the four big families on Jijing Island are gathering in the capital. It’s going to be f*cking exciting.]
It did seem exciting but Gu Mang was expressionless.
[But then again, master, have you met the head of the Ye family? Why is she investigating you?]
In the capital, her master was not at all a threat to those families.
Gu Mang replied concisely, [I don’t know her.]
Seeing those words, she could not wrap her head around what was going on. Yun Ling replied, [I’ll go and dig up more of Ye Junci’s information.]
…
At the same time, Ye Junci was caught off guard when she heard that Leng Xuan and Master Bi were coming to the capital.
“Why are they coming to the capital?” Ye Junci looked at Butler Ye.
Leng Xuan rarely made trips out of Jijing Island. She was the only one who knew the ancient medical practices of the Elders’ Association and she played an influential role in the association. She knew the most confidential information on Jijing Island.
Due to this, the Leng family was very powerful on Jijing Island.
Butler Ye said, “Some time ago, I heard Elder Leng say that they were lacking resources. It just so happens that Red Scorpion has them, so she is probably here for business.”
“What about Master Bi?” Ye Junci asked in confusion, “If Leng Xuan is here for business, what is Master Bi here for?”
Butler Ye shook his head. “Master Bi has been getting close to Elder Leng recently. As for his reason for the trip, I have no idea.”
Ye Junci looked down and thought for a few seconds. “Is the news of us coming to the capital still confidential?”
“Yes,” Butler Ye said. “Our whereabouts have not been revealed yet.”
Ye Junci nodded. “Those two are not of much concern to us. Let’s go visit the Old Madam tomorrow. After that, we can head back to Jijing Island.”
Butler Ye answered, “Should we send a greeting card to the Lu family?”
Ye Junci said, “No need. I will give Old Madam a call before we go.”
“Understood.”
…
Lu Zhan, along with other members of Red Scorpion, escorted a huge team including Leng Xuan and Master Bi to Hotel W.
Hotel W’s security measures were very comprehensive, especially in their presidential suites. The interior design was kept concealed from the public. People from all over the world who visited the capital usually stayed at Hotel W.
The presidential suites cost a few hundred thousand per night. The suite was big enough to house Leng Xuan and Master Bi’s team comfortably.
“Ms. Leng, Master Bi, it’s getting late. Both of you should get some rest. We can discuss stuff tomorrow.” Standing by the hotel door, Lu Zhan faced the two of them.
Leng Xuan was dressed in a luxury bespoke outfit. She exuded a cold and distant aura, and her gaze seemed arrogant.
It was as if no one present was worth her attention.
She said nonchalantly, “Thank you, Commander Lu.”
Master Bi also thanked him.
Lu Zhan nodded. After bidding farewell, he turned around and left.
Leng Xuan and Master Bi walked into the hotel.
“I will ask Qianzi to come and see you tomorrow,” Master Bi said. “She is very smart and has a lt of potential.”
Leng Xuan nodded and looked at him. “I remember you said that you wanted to recruit a disciple named Gu Yin, the high school graduate who was specially recruited by the medical organization out of high school.”
Master Bi looked rather embarrassed. He muttered, “I did think of recruiting her. But I didn’t recruit her in the end because I didn’t find her suitable.”
