"This... someone else must have thought of it too, right? What happened?" Ni Na'er asked, puzzled.

Fa'erxi's face also turned rather unsightly. The two exchanged glances and took out their phones to make calls simultaneously.

"Hey, Young Jiang, what's going on?"

"Mr. Bai, instruct the people in the Flame Dragon Group responsible for investigating those pharmaceutical companies and import-export trade companies that we have not yet acquired to look into those companies thoroughly. They should trace at least ten degrees of separation, like from industrial companies to virtual network companies to shell companies, then back to industrial to virtual, to small families, to groups, to large families, and so on and so forth, this kind of pattern!"

"If there's more behind them, keep digging. Check carefully, strictly, you must not overlook any traces. If possible, it's best to check all the companies within the Flame Dragon Kingdom in the same way!" Jiang Chen instructed solemnly.

"This... there's such a method!? How, how did I not think of it! Hiding like this, it's damn difficult to investigate!"

Jiang Chen said earnestly, "Difficult as it may be, we must check. We must check thoroughly! Not a single company can be overlooked, we absolutely cannot miss any of them! By the way, inform our absolute allies as well, remember, only those we absolutely trust will do!"

"I understand. I'll let them know right away!"

Mr. Bai was well aware of the severity of the situation and responded hurriedly before hanging up and immediately notifying people from the Flame Dragon Group and the absolute allied forces.

After Mr. Bai hung up, Jiang Chen made several more calls with the same earnest instructions and stern tone. Finally, he sent out the instructions via text messages, voice messages, and group chat announcements to the group chat he created for acquiring pharmaceutical companies and import-export trade companies, so that everyone was clear about the pattern.

Ni Na'er and the others watched dumbfounded as Jiang Chen and Fa'erxi made one serious call after another.

Initially, Ni Na'er suspected that Jiang Chen was targeting his own family, but seeing that Fa'erxi was also instructing the same things, and both were making numerous calls, plus the fact that he was about to collaborate comprehensively with Jiang Chen, it made no sense for Jiang Chen to go to such lengths to investigate his family's companies.

In an instant, he realized that the matter might not be so simple!

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others had finally finished their calls, Ni Na'er spoke up in confusion, "Mr. Jiang, what... what are you doing? What are you investigating? Or is it a particular family you're targeting? Do you need my help?"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "Mr. Ni Na'er, I can't tell you what I'm doing, but... if possible, I would indeed like to ask you for a favor."

"Go ahead," Ni Na'er nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen said seriously, "I'd like you to help me review the situation I just mentioned. Your family has always used this pattern, so you should be able to trace it back more quickly and accurately!"

"Okay!" Ni Na'er nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chen and Ni Na'er exchanged contact information, and Jiang Chen also requested Ni Na'er's email address to send him a list of the forces in his group chat.

Upon reviewing the information Jiang Chen sent, Ni Na'er was momentarily stunned by the extent of Jiang Chen's connections in the Flame Dragon Kingdom, no wonder Jiang Chen's company was so overwhelmingly successful. With the support of the Flame Dragon Group and so many forces, it would be odd if they weren't successful!

"Elder Fa'erxi, do you need my help with anything?" Ni Na'er looked at Fa'erxi, full of anticipation.

Fa'erxi glanced at Ni Na'er and shook his head gently, "There's no need on my end. Helping Mr. Jiang with the investigation is as good as helping me!"

"Ah? Oh, right!"

Ni Na'er was momentarily taken aback, a surge of shock running through him. He quickly nodded and turned his head, staring at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to hold such a high status in Fa'erxi's heart; helping Jiang Chen was akin to helping Fa'erxi himself. More importantly, Fa'erxi, an elder, referred to Jiang Chen, a young man younger than himself, as Mr. Jiang. This was totally unexpected for Ni Na'er!

Jiang Chen glanced at Ni Na'er and smiled faintly, speaking softly, "Ni Na'er, I have a question for you."

"Mr. Jiang, please ask," Ni Na'er responded softly.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen said with a light smile, "What do you think one should do if they like someone?"

"Ah?" Ni Na'er was stunned for a moment, with an expression full of confusion.

"It's like this, I've recently fallen for a girl, but sometimes she's quite indifferent to me, yet I really like her, so I tried every method to deal with any non-blood-related males close to her, so that there would be no suitors around her."

"Then I kept expressing my love to her, hoping she would accept me. I can feel that she has a liking towards me too, it's just... it seems like she doesn't really like my approach. Can you help me analyze why?" Jiang Chen looked at Ni Na'er with a troubled expression.

At that, both Sa Li and Fa'erxi glanced at Jiang Chen and then at Ni Na'er, and instantly understood.

Brilliant!

Fa'erxi secretly praised in his heart. Convincing others with a pile of great truths is not as effective as letting them realize it on their own.

"Mr. Jiang, what you're doing is somewhat improper!"

Ni Na'er, however, still hadn't caught on, and seriously analyzed, "Since you like her and you feel that she's interested in you too, then you should just pursue her. There's no need to drive away or deal with the males close to her, right? What if those people are just her friends? Your actions will make her very uncomfortable!"

"But seeing other men close to her makes me feel uncomfortable!" Jiang Chen said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Haha! Mr. Jiang, I thought you were quite magnanimous from the way you conducted yourself just now, I didn't expect you to have such a narrow-minded side as well."

Ni Na'er said with a light chuckle, "Since you also think she likes you, why should you feel uncomfortable just because she has some male friends around her? This only shows you lack confidence. Mr. Jiang, be confident, boldly go after her, and stop doing this kind of thing. If you continue like this, it will only make her slowly despise you!"

"Oh~~~"

Jiang Chen dragged out the 'oh' with several tones, then said with a light laugh, "So Mr. Ni Na'er already knows all these truths, then why do you still do this?"

"What, why do I still..."

Ni Na'er was stunned for a moment and began to speak in surprise, then suddenly realized, glanced at Sa Li, then at Jiang Chen, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I, I..."

"Pfft!"

"Haha!"

"Haha..."

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Mr. Ni Na'er, be confident, boldly go after her, and stop doing this kind of thing. If you continue like this, it will only make her slowly despise you!" Jiang Chen threw Ni Na'er's own words back at him.

Ni Na'er's face turned embarrassed, and he awkwardly lowered his head.

Then, he slowly raised his head again and said to Jiang Chen, "Thank you Mr. Jiang, you've awakened the dreamer with a single word, I'll go prepare the contract right away."

With that, he stood up and left.

At the doorway, he suddenly turned back vehemently and said to Sa Li, "Sa Li, wait for me... wait for me to come back... I love you!"

Sa Li's face immediately blushed to the roots of her ears, and she lowered her head in silence.

And Jiang Chen and the others just laughed heartily.

A chorus of laughter and joy.
