"Wu Ji and Wu Shang, stay behind; the rest of you, go and do what needs to be done."

"Remember, you must complete the tasks arranged by the Young Master in the shortest time possible. I hope that when the Young Master wakes up, everyone will be able to submit a satisfactory report!" Yan Hu's voice came from the villa's hall.

Thump thump thump!

Aside from Li Wuji and Zhang Wushang, the others quickly headed toward the villa's main entrance.

Among the greenery, Xuan Long thought for a moment and then took out his phone to dial a number.

After entering the hall, Yan Hu also made several phone calls.

That same day!

Yichen Security Company announced its establishment, with more than a dozen branches opening simultaneously, covering all of the major coastal cities under Flame Dragon's influence.

The Dragon Flame Mercenary Group and the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps began taking on high-paying missions; their members no longer gathered together but dispersed across the globe, particularly the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, which could be found in almost every clan or faction stronghold around the world.

Unchanging Valley completely sealed off its territory. The valley was shrouded in a powerful aura that prevented any probing spirits from infiltrating.

The Dark Night Angel Mercenary Corps vanished in an instant. International clan forces could no longer find any key members of the Dark Night Angels. All of the mercenary group's assets were managed by peripheral personnel, but as long as the name of the number one mercenary group remained, no one dared to touch the territory controlled by the Dark Night Angels.

In the Southern Country, Fengyuan Group formally announced its merger with Sangsen Group, which overnight became the unchallenged economic leader of the Southern Country. Subsequently, Sangsen Group announced its foray into the pharmaceutical industry, aggressively acquiring pharmaceutical companies in the Southern Country.

In the Northern Confederation, several families, including the Will Family and the Anderson Family, simultaneously embarked on the path of acquiring pharmaceutical companies.

Suddenly, a wave of pharmaceutical company acquisitions swept the world!

And on that very same day, representing Jiang Chen, Flame Dragon, the Holy Court, and Yan Hu held a secret meeting. The forces that had acquired pharmaceutical companies and were not aligned with any of the three powers found themselves under their close watch!

The winds had started to pick up, and the clouds had begun to gather!

And at the start of this brewing storm, Jiang Chen, who had contributed the most to stirring the winds of change, was solidly asleep in his bed for three days.

"...Don't worry, Madam, the Young Master is fine. He just needs to consolidate this breakthrough and suppress his Heart Demon, which is why it's taking a little longer... Yes, don't worry, nothing will go wrong... How could I not tell you if there was something wrong? It's all fine!"

In the hall of the Dingyun Lake Villa, Yan Hu, a man with a head full of sweat, hung up the phone.

"Brother Hu Zi, it seems like taking a call from a sister-in-law is more exhausting than fighting a big battle, huh?" Lou Qiangqiang gloated as he watched Yan Hu wiping his sweat.

Yan Hu gave Lou Qiangqiang a disdainful look and said irritably, "Would you like to answer the ladies' calls next time?"

"No, no, no, no, no!" Lou Qiangqiang immediately cowered and waved his hands in refusal.

At that moment, only Yan Hu, Medicine Saint, Supreme Hu Sha, Fu Ling'er, Lou Qiangqiang, Li Wuji, Zhang Wushang, and Xuan Long, who was still kneeling at the wall of the greenery, were left in the Dingyun Lake Villa.

Lin Meng returned to the Wenxuan Tea House, and the others went about their business.

Ding-dong!

The sound of the doorbell rang out, and Lou Qiangqiang conscientiously got up to open the door, sidestepping the topic with Yan Hu; he didn't dare answer calls from Ye Jingyi and the other two women, fearing he would slip up.

With everyone's tacit agreement, they chose to conceal Jiang Chen's condition from Ye Jingyi and the other two women. The first reason was to prevent them from becoming distressed, as the tasks Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin were currently undertaking were too important. The second reason was to avoid causing them unnecessary worry, as even if they knew, it would only add to the number of worried people without any benefits.

Crack!

The door opened, and Li Wuji glanced at Lou Qiangqiang before turning to look at Yan Hu in the hall, "Hu Zi, a father-daughter pair has arrived outside, claiming to be old acquaintances of Mr. Jiang, named Hua Zhiqiang and Hua Feng'er."

"They are people Young Master knew before, but they're not really old acquaintances, just ordinary friends at most. Let them in," Yan Hu nodded slightly.

"Okay!" Li Wuji responded, turning to walk towards the entrance of the estate.

Before long, Hua Zhiqiang and Hua Feng'er walked into the villa.

"Haha, Mr. Yan Hu, long time no see!" Hua Zhiqiang stepped into the hall and laughed heartily, casting a casual glance over everyone in the hall.

Upon seeing Supreme Hu Sha, a shiver ran through Hua Zhiqiang's heart, and he promptly suppressed the turmoil within.

"Mr. Hua, it hasn't been a year yet, what brings you here today..." Yan Hu looked at Hua Zhiqiang and his daughter with curiosity.

"Mr. Yan Hu, do we need a reason to come visit Mr. Jiang?" Hua Feng'er rolled her eyes at Yan Hu and naturally took a seat on the sofa.

Yan Hu was momentarily startled, then sneered inwardly. If it weren't for your father's life being in the Young Master's hands, would you come to see the Young Master?

"Mr. Yan Hu, who are these people..." Hua Zhiqiang also took a seat, glanced at Supreme Hu Sha and the others, and looked puzzledly at Yan Hu.

"They are the Young Master's family," Yan Hu replied indifferently.

"You youngsters talk." Medicine Saint said with a smile, getting up to walk upstairs, and Supreme Hu Sha followed suit.

Lou Qiangqiang's eyes darted about, then he tugged at Fu Ling'er, "Ling'er, have you finished your homework?"

Fu Ling'er was momentarily stunned. What homework? We took leave, didn't we?

Catching a glimpse of Hua Zhiqiang and his daughter out of the corner of her eye, Fu Ling'er quickly realized, "Not yet! Come on, let's do the homework. Otherwise, we'll get scolded back at school again!"

The four of them all avoided Hua Zhiqiang and his daughter, getting up to head to the second floor.

"Mr. Yan Hu, are we disturbing you? Where is Mr. Jiang?" Hua Zhiqiang asked with an apologetic and puzzled expression.

"Not at all!" Yan Hu shook his head lightly, then offhandedly said, "The Young Master is out on business."

"Oh, I see. Then we'll wait for Mr. Jiang!" Hua Zhiqiang nodded, pretending to be willing to wait.

But internally, he sneered: Out? Ever since you all returned, none of you have left the place! I guess you can't get out of bed, can you?

"No need to wait, It's uncertain when the Young Master will return this time. When he does, I'll tell him you've been here, and he'll give you a call back," Yan Hu gently shook his head.

"Well... alright then, we'll take our leave!" Hua Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly and stood up with Hua Feng'er to leave the villa.

Sitting in the car driving away from Dingyun Lake Villa, Hua Zhiqiang glanced at the villa through the rearview mirror, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"Elder Wu, there are only Yan Hu, Supreme Hu Sha, an old man, and two children in the villa, and only two guards in the courtyard. I can't see through the abilities of the old man and the two guards. They must have practiced some special Cultivation Techniques, but they don't give off the kind of oppressive feeling you described, Elder. They surely haven't reached the Venerable Realm!"

"Alright, I got it. Have Feng'er come back to attend to Supreme Mo Tuo!"

"Yes!" A shadow flickered in Hua Zhiqiang's eyes.
