"Hello, Jin Xiang, have you completed the task?" Eliza received Jin Xiang's call and asked with a smile.
"Ms. Ilsa, I sincerely apologize." Jin Xiang said, "I lost to you once and worked under you for several years. But I lost to Yang Yu three tis, which is fate telling that he is my ultimate boss."
"And then, did you betray and join him?" Eliza still had a smile on her face, but it was now only a façade.
"If Ms. Ilsa feels that this is betrayal, then so be it." Jin Xiang sighed, "Yang Yu promised that as long as I'm willing, he won't make do anything to harm Ms. Ilsa. I believe he will keep his word."
"I also believe he will keep his word. If it weren't for our differing stances, he and I would be great friends." Eliza said, "But precisely because our stances and beliefs are different, we are in a fight to the death. If one day I duel with him, and you can influence the outco, who would you help?"
"I wouldn't help either of you." Jin Xiang said very seriously, "This is my promise to you."
Eliza was silent for a long ti, then sighed deeply, "Alright, do as you wish. But let tell you, since you've allied with Yang Yu, even if you don't intend to fight , if I encounter you, I will still consider you an enemy and kill you!"
"If I die at the hands of Ms. Ilsa, I would have no regrets." Jin Xiang smiled slightly, "Ms. Ilsa, I wish your dreams co true."
Jin Xiang hung up the phone, but Eliza held onto hers for a long ti.
She never dread that one of her Angel Ten Wings would betray her!
Seeing Eliza's face was off, Edo Risa walked over and asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Eliza regained her calm, but her eyes were full of murderous intent, "Jin Xiang betrayed us, if you see him next ti, don't hold back, kill him!"
Edo Risa's eyelids twitched violently several tis but quickly composed herself, "Yes!"
Eliza was in a rage when her phone rang again.
She forced herself to calm down and slowly answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
"Ms. Ilsa, this is Li Ruihong." Li Ruihong's voice ca from the other side, "I have brought a group of experts from Xia Country over to pledge allegiance to you, hoping for your protection."
"Experts from Xia Country?" Eliza asked casually, "Are there any proficient in Feng Shui Array?"
"Yes." Li Ruihong said, "But his formation skills are sowhat weaker than those of the Zhuge Family."
"Having one is enough, we'll give it a try first!" Eliza was worried about having no one to break the Feng Shui Array on Penglai Fairy Island, and Li Ruihong had just delivered himself to her, "I can protect you, but you must do sothing for first."
"Certainly." Li Ruihong said, "What is it?"
"Two days later, let's et in the waters near Penglai Fairy Island." Eliza said, "If your people can break the Feng Shui Array on Penglai Fairy Island, then your group will be under my protection."
After recruiting Jin Xiang, Yang Yu returned to Tianhai City to continue researching and developing new dicine.
As for the market side, naturally, others were responsible for promotion, so he didn't need to worry.
However, before he could start his research, his secretary Tong Li'er asked for a leave: "Mr. Yang, my mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. I need to go ho imdiately and take so ti off. I don't know how many days I'll need, but I'm worried it might delay things on this end..."
Yang Yu casually replied, "You're aware of my dical skills, so how about this: I'll go to your hotown with you and treat your mother. Once she's recovered, you can co back and continue working for without any worries."
Tong Li'er was a bit hesitant, "Mr. Yang, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"You are my right hand. If you don't co back, that would be more trouble for ." Yang Yu stood up from his seat, "Let's go, book a flight to your ho."
Tong Li'er's hotown wasn't far from Tianhai City, only about an hour by plane.
However, from the airport to Tong Li'er's hotown county, it was a two-hour car ride.
They set out in the morning and arrived at a small county town called Ningxi a little after noon.
Unlike Tianhai City, the pace of life in the small county wasn't fast, giving Yang Yu the illusion that ti had slowed down.
Once they got off the car, Tong Li'er called her father, Tong Jun: "Dad, I'm back. Which hospital and room is mom in?"
"Cough, cough..." Tong Jun coughed lightly twice, "It's hard to explain in a few words, co ho first."
"Hard to explain in a few words?" Tong Li'er frowned, not understanding what was going on, "Alright, I'll head ho imdiately."
When Tong Li'er arrived ho, she was stunned.
Her mother looked radiant, not at all like soone who was sick.
Tong Li'er quickly realized she had been deceived by her family, and was extrely angry: "Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
Tong Jun and Wang Juan were also surprised to see their daughter bring back a man: "Is this... your boyfriend?"
"Uncle, Auntie, hello." Yang Yu smiled slightly, "I'm Li'er's classmate, studying dicine. I heard Auntie was ill, so she brought over to see if I could help."
Wang Juan was still a bit skeptical, "Really just classmates?"
Yang Yu nodded very affirmatively, "Truly classmates."
"Alright then, let's sit down and have a al together." Wang Juan invited Yang Yu to sit down, and Yang Yu didn't stand on ceremony and started eating.
Tong Li'er, however, still wore a somber expression, her anger unabated: "Dad, Mom, if you don't give an explanation, I'm not eating this al."
"Okay, here's your explanation." Wang Juan said, "Last ti you wanted to marry that scumbag, we opposed it with all our might, but you didn't listen to us and ultimately suffered the consequences. You're not getting any younger; even though you're making good money in Tianhai City, staying there isn't a long-term plan."
"You've t your dad's friend Uncle Liu, right? His son Liu Ping got a leg injury from a car accident, and his girlfriend left him. Their family doesn't mind that you've been married before; as long as you agree, they're willing to give you a bride price like it's your first marriage, add your na to a new house, and hold a grand wedding."
"What?" Tong Li'er's face imdiately turned ugly, "Mom, you want to marry a cripple?"
"What's wrong with a cripple?" Wang Juan glared, "He's not bothered that you're used goods, nor does he care about the sketchy ways you've been making money outside. You're the one it's a problem for?"
Tong Li'er was trembling with anger, "Mom, so in your eyes, I'm just worthless junk?"
