Zhan Bei Jue's handsome face instantly darkened. He frowned and glared at him, "Lu Ming Zhe, how dare you bring this ghostly thing to pollute my eyes first thing in the morning?"
Lu Ming Zhe could guess his reaction and explained with a sheepish smile, "It's just that all legitimate methods have been tried, and you haven't shown any improvement. I'm worried for you."
"What the ancestors left behind might have its own merits. Trying it won't cost you much, and perhaps..."
Zhan Bei Jue pushed his hand away, "No need."
"Old Zhan! This is the genuine article! A rare edition! I went to great effort and expense to get it from someone else for you!"
Zhan Bei Jue let out a cold snort, took off his suit jacket, threw it on his head, and walked behind the desk.
He rested his long legs on the desk, leaned back in the sofa chair, and said with composure and confidence.
"If you like looking at it, keep it. I don't need it. To tell you the truth, Lu Ming Zhe, I'm not sick. Even if I was, I'm cured now."
"Ah?"
Lu Ming Zhe was startled and ran two steps in front of him.
"What the hell is going on? Did you recover without medicine, or did you meet a doctor even more skilled than me? Tell me carefully!"
Zhan Bei Jue had no intention of sharing his private matters with others. He looked at Lu Ming Zhe calmly.
"Anyway, I'm better. I won't need you anymore. You don't need to know the specifics."
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Let me broaden my horizons..." Lu Ming Zhe insisted, looking at him.
Then, as if he had discovered a new continent, his eyes widened, "Old Zhan, your complexion is off today. You're glowing! Last night... did it happen? Are you really desensitized? Who did you meet? Who cured you? You must tell me!"
Zhan Bei Jue shot him a cold glance.
Lu Ming Zhe had to retract his arm, "Alright, alright, you're amazing. You're crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, like a rabbit that's cooked its cooking. Now that you're better, you don't need me. Fine, I'm leaving."
He pretended to turn to leave, but Zhan Bei Jue called him back, "Wait a moment."
"?"
"I seem to only be able to with her. Do you think this counts as a complete recovery?"
"...Don't tell me it's your ex-wife. You haven't touched anyone else in your life except her. She's the one who left you with trauma, and now you've forgotten the pain after the wound has healed?"
Zhan Bei Jue tilted his head back, leaned against the sofa chair, and closed his eyes with an unreadable expression, "This woman, I don't know what's going on with her."
Lu Ming Zhe understood Zhan Bei Jue. Seeing him like this, he knew he was genuinely troubled and not in the mood for jokes, so he immediately became serious.
"Don't worry. It's simple to know if you've truly recovered. Just find any woman to test it."
"..."
"I don't mean anything else, but you find it difficult to even talk to women other than her, right? Just try talking to someone."
It wasn't a bad idea.
In any case, his mind was in turmoil today, and he had no intention of working. Moreover, he hadn't let go of the resentment from Zhou Jin Bei's scheme. Zhan Bei Jue opened his eyes again, "Come out with me."
"Where to?"
"To find someone, for an experiment."
After venting her anger, Jiang Nan Fang found no car waiting for her outside, so she had to walk back.
The villa area was so large, and the residents here were all wealthy and influential, with no need for taxis. How long would it take her to walk out?
Zhou Jin Xiu didn't expect to run into Jiang Nan Fang again. The woman who had spoken to him so arrogantly just now was now walking pitifully alone by the roadside, facing the sun.
"Beep!"
Zhou Jin Xiu honked his horn, rolled down the window, and slowly drove his car towards her.
"Beautiful lady, why are you walking alone? Where's your car? Do you need a ride?"
Jiang Nan Fang heard the sound, turned her head, and saw Zhou Jin Xiu's smirking face. Knowing he had no good intentions, she replied calmly.
"No, thank you. Someone is picking me up, they'll be here soon. Thank you."
"Don't be polite with me. We're acquaintances now, after all. A ride is nothing."
As he spoke, Zhou Jin Xiu saw that no one was around, stopped the car, got out, and pulled her.
"Let's go, get in, don't be shy."
To be honest, Zhou Jin Xiu was quite good-looking.
As a rich second-generation, his attire was fashionable and tasteful. With luxury watches and cars, if he didn't speak, his appearance, physique, and car alone would surely charm many girls.
What a pity that such a good-looking man had a mouth.
He was all show and no substance, a hollow man.
Jiang Nan Fang quickly took two steps back, avoiding his outstretched hand, "I said I don't need it. Sir, we are not familiar with each other. Please respect yourself."
Zhou Jin Xiu had just lost a million dollars to her, so it was unlikely he would look at her favorably now.
Seeing her uncooperative, he immediately sneered.
"Oh, now we're not familiar? Weren't you the one who called me and came to my door asking for money just now?"
"..."
"Let's go, we can talk in the car. I'm not a stingy person, don't worry. If I really like you, you should be secretly happy."
Jiang Nan Fang hated men who thought they were great just because they had money. She glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Is that so? How much money do you have, Mr. Zhou? If you like me, will you pay whatever I ask?"
Zhou Jin Xiu was almost leaning into her, "That depends on your performance. If you perform well, I wouldn't mind giving you my life."
"Really? I like taking lives the most. It seems I have to perform well."
Jiang Nan Fang smiled and grabbed his arm. Suddenly, she tripped his left foot from the inside and with a surge of strength, executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw, lifting the tall Zhou Jin Xiu and slamming him onto the ground.
"Don't move!"
Zhou Jin Xiu lay on the ground, with one of her legs pressing him down and one hand at his throat.
"How was it? Was my performance great? Did you like it?"
"You!"
Zhou Jin Xiu didn't expect to encounter someone skilled in combat. He craned his neck, not daring to move, "Are you crazy? What do you do?"
Dan Country was not as peaceful as China. After giving birth, Jiang Nan Fang, to prevent her and her child from being bullied, specifically found a master in Chinatown and studied martial arts for six years.
For her, grappling, fighting, Tai Chi, and Judo were all child's play. In the annual martial arts competition in Chinatown, she had been the champion for three consecutive years.
"I roam the jianghu, upholding justice."
Seeing that he was scared, she pressed down on his throat again, "I hate stupid people like you who, with a little money, don't know their own limits. Tell me, do you dare to speak so presumptuously and bully women casually in the future?"
Just as Zhou Jin Xiu was about to say something, his gaze shifted, and he saw someone behind Jiang Nan Fang, "Second Brother!"
Someone's here? Jiang Nan Fang instinctively wanted to turn her head to look, but someone grabbed her collar first.
She released Zhou Jin Xiu, and with a backhand, threw a powerful punch. With a clang, her wrist was caught.
Their eyes met, "Zhan Bei Jue?"
