"Don't you think you should help the cute girl from the security team find the leader, the withered vine? I heard that guy seems to have escaped. He's the real culprit. If he's not caught within a day, Jiangcheng might not be peaceful," Shui Xiang asked worriedly.
"He was controlled long ago, just not by the security team," Li Yang explained.
"Do you know his whereabouts? Did you tell that cute girl?" Shui Xiang quickly asked.
She didn't mind Li Yang being with the cute girl. The cute girl was from the security team. Although her temper wasn't great, she was a good person.
Li Yang explained, "Don't worry, they'll hand the person over to the security team in a while. We don't need to worry. That withered vine will never have a chance to harm anyone again."
"That's good. So you already solved Jiangcheng's problems before going to the provincial capital. But I'm really tied up lately. Why don't you go first? I'll hand over my work after I finish these orders in Jiangcheng, and then I'll come to the provincial capital to find you," Shui Xiang added.
"Alright, then it's settled. I'll go to the provincial capital and wait for you," Li Yang replied.
"Oh my, you two lovebirds are going to be separated. I can see you're both reluctant to part."
Just then, Qing Luan's voice came from outside the door.
Seeing her, Shui Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "You're too much. You always come when we're talking privately. We have little secrets, and you overhear all of them."
"What's the big deal? We're such good friends, what secrets can we have? Don't you remember what you told me after you got drunk last time? You even told me how long you and Li Yang could last." Qing Luan said with a smile.
"Pfft, Li Yang is still here. Aren't you ashamed!"
Shui Xiang's face turned red. She couldn't believe this woman had no boundaries and would say anything.
It was very awkward for a man to hear such secrets between women.
However, Li Yang was completely unfazed. He smiled and said, "It's fine. As a man, I'm proud. That aspect is precisely my strong suit. It doesn't matter if Sister Shui told you, as long as you don't envy me."
"Tch! Who would envy you? Stop being so narcissistic."
Qing Luan quickly replied with a guilty conscience. In fact, she was quite envious of Shui Xiang in that regard.
Li Yang was not only handsome and capable, but also so strong in that area. He was truly a rare good man in the world.
It was a pity she didn't have the good fortune to meet him.
She usually enjoyed playing all sorts of wild games and often invited online friends to do those things, but she had never met anyone who satisfied her.
She even thought that if she could experience it once with Li Yang, her life would not have been in vain.
However, she wouldn't steal what belonged to others. Although she had thoughts, the moment she thought of Shui Xiang being her good best friend, she stopped her wild fantasies.
A moment later, she snapped back to reality and suddenly said with a smile, "Oh, right. When I came in just now, I heard you talking about going to the provincial capital. Shui Xiang, are you selling the shop? Why don't you sell it to me? I'm looking to expand my business."
"Get lost! Who said I was selling? I just want to find an agent to look after the shop for me so I can confidently go to the provincial capital with Li Yang," Shui Xiang explained.
"Is that so... If I don't help you, it would seem a bit heartless. My shop doesn't have much business lately, so why don't you hand the shop over to me to manage? I'll definitely take good care of your business," Qing Luan said, thinking for a moment, touching her chin, and her beautiful eyes widening in surprise.
"Are you serious? My business is very busy. If you help me, you'll probably have trouble managing your own business," Shui Xiang said frankly, feeling a bit guilty towards her best friend.
"It's okay, you're my good best friend. You two lovebirds can go to the provincial capital with peace of mind. Leave everything here to me, you can rest assured," Qing Luan said, patting her chest, and then holding Shui Xiang's hand.
"Alright, since you're helping me so much, I certainly can't treat you unfairly. Half of the profit from here will be yours," Shui Xiang said with a smile.
"You're considerate. Then it's settled," Qing Luan replied decisively after thinking about it.
She knew Shui Xiang's character. It wouldn't be right to get something for nothing, and since it was her good intention, there was no need to refuse.
Seeing Qing Luan being so good to Shui Xiang, Li Yang also showed a very bright smile.
Then, Shui Xiang handed over some of the shop's work to her, and they went home together to pack their things.
When they had finished packing, Qian Long and Zhou Yi also called Li Yang one after another to ask for his location. Li Yang drove Shui Xiang's car and picked them up one by one, taking them all to the provincial capital.
Shui Xiang thought Li Yang was only taking her, but she didn't expect the car to be full, and with two stunning beauties.
Along the way, she noticed that both of these stunning beauties were very caring towards Li Yang. Anyone could tell that their relationship with Li Yang was unusual.
When they stopped at a service area halfway, while they went to use the restroom, Shui Xiang pinched Li Yang's waist hard and asked, "Hey, what's the situation with those two women? I've never seen them before. Could they be your little lovers?"
"Sister Shui Xiang, don't you like lively company? If they're always with us from now on, won't it be even livelier? You won't dislike it, will you?" Li Yang said, kissing Shui Xiang's forehead.
"Tch, do you think I'm complaining about them? I just think you're not honest, not telling me in advance that you'd bring two women along."
Shui Xiang pretended to be angry and pushed Li Yang away, then asked, "Let me ask you, do they know about our relationship? If I don't bother them, they won't bother me, right?"
"Don't worry about that. I guarantee they won't. They are all understanding and easy to get along with. When we get there, we'll be like a family. I've already planned it. We'll buy a big house in the provincial capital first, and everyone will have enough room to live," Li Yang said cheerfully.
"Heh, do all you men like to keep mistresses? You need to think carefully. Those two women plus me and Xin Yu, that's four people. With you, that's at least five rooms. How big a house do you need to buy?" Shui Xiang rolled her eyes.
"Then I'll buy one with ten rooms. How can I let the people I love be wronged? Sister Shui, you can pick a room first. After you've chosen, then it's theirs," Li Yang said with a smile.
"Heh, at least you have some conscience!" Shui Xiang said, lifting the corner of her mouth arrogantly.
"Ah!"
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the direction of the service area entrance.
