Jiang Chen, holding Su Qingqing, was also burning with desire, unable to stop.

But Jiang Chen couldn't do that!

"It's fine, um, I have something else to do, I need to go!" Jiang Chen bit his tongue lightly, snapping to his senses and pushed Su Qingqing away, then turned and hurriedly ran out of Su Qingqing's house.

"Pff—"

Su Qingqing watched Jiang Chen's fleeing figure, couldn't help but laugh out loud, then a hint of loss appeared in her eyes, eventually turning into some sort of determination.

After leaving Su Qingqing's house, Jiang Chen thought it over and decided not to go to the clinic for the day, to avoid awkwardness; he could take it easy and talk about it another day. He got into his car and headed to the First Hospital.

Upon arriving at Ye Jingyi's ward, Jiang Chen's gaze instantly softened. While administering the needle to Ye Jingyi, he smiled bitterly and told her about the incident at Su Qingqing's place.

"Jingyi, I swear, I really didn't cheat!"

After finishing with the needle, Jiang Chen gently massaged Ye Jingyi and joked, "You know, we've been married for so long, and we haven't really shared a bed yet! It's made me stay as pure as jade, holding back a huge fire! But I'm willing to wait for you forever until you wake up. Then, will you become my wife again, okay?"

Gently touching Ye Jingyi's face, Jiang Chen leaned in and kissed her lips.

At that moment, the monitors next to her briefly fluctuated more frequently, but Jiang Chen didn't notice.

Afterward, Jiang Chen began to recount recent events, and after pouring out his heart, he stood up and left the ward.

"Dinglingling—"

Just as he walked out of the hospital, his phone rang. Jiang Chen took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered, "Hello, President Lin."

"Mr. Jiang, I need to ask you for a favor," came Lin Bingrui's respectful voice over the phone.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, unlocked his car, and replied softly, "Go ahead."

"Here's the thing..." Lin Bingrui recounted the situation.

The assassin who had tried to kill Lin Bingrui last time had been taken back and interrogated; it turned out he was sent by another major local power with a grudge. When Lin Bingrui called to confront them, the other party immediately apologized and offered to make amends. Lin Bingrui felt there was something fishy about it, and since his bodyguard Zhang Qiang could stand up but was not fully recovered and couldn't fight, Lin Bingrui thought it would be safer to ask Jiang Chen to go with him.

"You sure have a lot of enemies!" Jiang Chen remarked after hearing Lin Bingrui's story.

"Well, Mr. Jiang, in our line of work, it's..." Lin Bingrui began to explain somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Chen didn't let Lin Bingrui finish, interjecting: "That's fine, no need to explain. Where and when is the meeting?

"Today at two o'clock in the afternoon, at Amber Bar," Lin Bingrui replied hastily.

"Alright, I'll be there then," Jiang Chen said, agreeing to the request and hanging up the phone.

Thinking it over, there might be a brawl, and fighting with bare hands can be exhausting, Jiang Chen went back home to get the Tang Sword and, after having lunch, he rushed to Amber Bar.

"Mr. Jiang," Lin Bingrui was already waiting outside the entrance of Amber Bar.

Jiang Chen got out of the car with his sword and said softly, "Have they arrived?"

"Not yet, we— There they are!" Lin Bingrui shook his head, about to suggest waiting inside, but then a Rolls-Royce pulled up, and upon seeing the car, Lin Bingrui's eyes turned cold and he nodded.

Jiang Chen turned to look; the Rolls-Royce parked beside them and two men got out. The one in the lead was sturdy with a fierce look on his face, followed by a man in black holding a wooden box.

"President Lin, I'm sorry for being late!" The fierce man smiled apologetically at Lin Bingrui and spoke.

Lin Bingrui nodded slightly and spoke softly, "Ling Jianghai, shall we talk here or go inside?"

"Of course, let's go inside!" Ling Jianghai smiled, glanced at Jiang Chen, and his gaze lingered on the cloth bag in Jiang Chen's hand for a moment.

Lin Bingrui noticed Ling Jianghai's expression, but he didn't plan to introduce Jiang Chen and instead turned to walk toward Amber Bar.

The four of them arrived in the bar's private room, where Ling Jianghai took out a check from his pocket and placed it on the table, "President Lin, this is one billion, plus this sword, as an apology gift to President Lin. With this, let's consider the matter resolved, what do you think?"

The man in black, upon hearing this, placed a wooden box on the table and opened its lid!

In the wooden box was an Eastern Blade without a sheath, its edge gleaming with a dazzling cold light, and a blood-red thread ran along its spine.

"What a fine blade!" Lin Bingrui's eyes lit up at the sight of the sword. He wasn't particularly interested in the billion, but being a lover of martial arts and swords, this blade was exactly to his taste and he found it extremely enticing!

Jiang Chen's pupils, however, contracted as he frowned at the Eastern Blade.

From that blade, Jiang Chen felt a dense Blood Fiend Aura. In his own hands, it would be fine, but in the hands of Lin Bingrui, it would be a harmful object!

"President Lin, this apology doesn't seem sincere enough!" Before Lin Bingrui could speak, Jiang Chen suddenly interjected with a cold voice.

Ling Jianghai's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Who are you? I'm talking with President Lin, is it your place to speak?"

Lin Bingrui glanced at Ling Jianghai and then turned to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, what's the matter?"

Mr. Jiang?!

Ling Jianghai was shocked. He had heard that when Lin Bingrui received the hero's invite from Liang Zhengqi, it was a Mr. Jiang who helped him defeat Liang Zhengqi. Could it be this young man? Impossible, right? Perhaps an elder from this young man's family made the move, since Liang Zhengqi was very skilled and couldn't possibly be defeated by such a young man!

With a slight frown, Ling Jianghai made a signal with his eyes to the man in black, who nodded and moved two steps closer to the Eastern Blade.

After glancing at the man in black, Jiang Chen's hand rested on the hilt of his Tang Sword. He turned to Lin Bingrui, "This blade is filled with Blood Fiend Aura. If you take it, before long the Blood Fiend Aura will enter your body. If you can't be treated in time, I'm afraid it will cost you your life!"

"What?!"

Lin Bingrui was startled and paled! Although he hadn't detected anything unusual about the blade, he absolutely trusted Jiang Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to negotiate with just Jiang Chen and not brought a single underling.

With anger rising in his heart, Lin Bingrui turned and glared at Ling Jianghai, bellowing, "Are you fucking trying to harm me!"

"He's talking nonsense!"

Ling Jianghai too was livid, pointing at Jiang Chen and cursing angrily. Yet his eyes were darting around, and his body jerked back two steps.

Then, he suddenly let out a loud shout!

"Attack!"

With that shout, "swoosh—"

A figure flashed by, and the man in black had already reached the Eastern Blade, reaching out his hand.

"Swish—"

A streak of cold light flashed, and the man in black had grabbed the Eastern Blade, swinging it ferociously at Lin Bingrui!

Lin Bingrui's face turned pale with horror!
