Shen Jingyu briefly shared their current situation, and Su Xing felt a deep sense of melancholy. It turned out they were not in a much better place than he was; it seemed they would need a considerable amount of time to recuperate after returning. He had once thought that having more time would be beneficial, but it turned out they had been living through a hellish experience.
Su Xing and Shen Jingyu continued their conversation until drowsiness began to take over. Su Xing's eyelids were visibly heavy, prompting Shen Jingyu to suggest they end the chat. "Next time, don't come all this way just to find a signal to talk to me! You'll be back in a couple of days anyway. It's too hard on you; I can't bear to see you like this," Su Xing said, feeling reluctant to part with Shen Jingyu.
As night fell in the woods where Shen Jingyu was, there were numerous snakes, insects, and rodents. In the short time they had been talking, he had already dealt with quite a few disturbances. Thankfully, his skills were up to the task; otherwise, Su Xing would have worried himself sick!
He didn't want Shen Jingyu to suffer for so long, but he also felt guilty for not chatting longer after such a long absence. So they talked until both their phones ran out of battery.
Later, as Shen Jingyu walked alone on the dark road, his heart grew increasingly uneasy. Su Xing's condition required more effective treatment. Fortunately, on his way back, he encountered Zhu Man, who was coming down from the mountain after gathering herbs.
"What is a young girl doing climbing the mountain at this hour? It's quite strange that she doesn't seem scared at all!" Shen Jingyu thought.
"Ah, my good laborer has arrived! Please help me carry this back!" he exclaimed. The Dog Head Gold he had found was incredibly heavy!
Zhu Man didn’t hesitate; she set down her basket and gestured for Shen Jingyu to come over and help with the load. Shen Jingyu realized he hadn’t been ordered around like this in a long time. Yet looking at this girl, who might be his only hope, he silently picked up the basket.
Was there really Dog Head Gold? It looked like a basket full of herbs and weighed at least a pound! And this girl carried such a heavy load with ease, navigating the mountain path without breaking a sweat. Was she deliberately showing off?
Shen Jingyu couldn't help but feel that this girl was quite cunning! However, he also sensed that she didn't like him. Strangely enough, this made him feel somewhat at ease around her.
The return journey took about another ten minutes. As they entered the village, faint lights began to flicker from various houses. It seemed that neither of them was particularly guarded; many households were filled with laughter and merriment as people feasted and drank together.
When Shen Jingyu's subordinates arrived and found an open space, they set up tents and started a bonfire to drink freely. They initially wanted to invite Shen Jingyu to join them, but their leader had not permitted them to disturb him this time.
After Shen Jingyu glanced at the phone, he had already decided to seek out a signal. There were more important matters to attend to, and he could not afford any further interruptions.
The night had deepened, and Zhu Man seemed to seize this opportunity to present Shen Jingyu with a second request.
"Shen Jingyu, I know you have connections in your country! I want to make use of them!"
Shen Jingyu raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you want to hear what you're saying? You’re not even trying to be subtle anymore."
It seemed that Little Princess was quite knowledgeable!
Zhu Man paused for a moment, looking somewhat displeased at Shen Jingyu's back. "You investigated me!"
Shen Jingyu feigned innocence. "The person you’re looking for sent me a message. I was forced to overhear it."
The implication was clear: he wasn't particularly interested in her identity!
Moreover, if he were to truly help her return there, the trouble Shen Jingyu would attract for himself would be considerable.
At that moment, Zhu Man's unstable emotions revealed her youthful charm!
"This identity is top secret! If your friend’s mouth is as loose as a pair of baggy pants, then I won’t hesitate to silence him if he dares to expose even a word!"
Shen Jingyu raised an eyebrow; this girl’s temper seemed rather unreasonable.
"You might have more contact with him! If you need my help, I will oblige. But if you expect me to watch as you put my people in danger, I probably won’t just stand by."
Zhu Man huffed. "You’re quite straightforward! After this, arrange for him to meet me in Dongguo as soon as possible! It needs to be quick!"
At this point, Zhu Man had decided that she must personally threaten this individual.
In a certain nobleman’s residence within the Duke's estate, a young lord sneezed twice. "Who dares insult me?"
As time passed in this place, Shen Jingyu spent another day piecing together Zhu Man's identity as Little Princess.
She was the last surviving heir of the former queen, the target of relentless pursuit by the current queen!
If he wanted to return there, it would inevitably lead to a massive upheaval. The entire nation would likely be engulfed in chaos and bloodshed.
Zhu Man had her sights set on Shen Jingyu’s identity and the power behind him; it was not merely because of his singular status but all the strength he possessed that she intended to utilize!
So this girl had been holding back all this while, saving her two relatives while he struggled outside just to repay debts.
Two days later, Zhu Man finally dragged out an extremely small box.
That old man was actually the butler who had been protecting her all along. At this moment, he was reluctant to stay behind and looked thoroughly discontented!
"Manman! Why would you choose to go out in such a dangerous world?"
"Grandpa! Once I have everything ready and settled, I will bring you out!"
"Please help me guard this place! The treasures on the mountain are things I need to use at any time!"
"This is President Shen! Remember his contact information. If anything comes up, just find him; there's probably nothing he can't handle!"
"Do you want me to thank you for your humble praise?" Shen Jingyu replied.
A group of people directly lifted Su Bokan and Shen Huai onto a grand chair; these two were the only ones who needed to be carried out in such a noble manner. Even Gu Zheng walked alongside them.
Zhu Man seemed to have his own communication equipment. Once he reached an area with signal, the miniature tablet in his hand never left his sight.
When they arrived at a place where they could take a car, Zhu Man insisted on squeezing into Shen Jingyu's vehicle.
Gu Bai had just rushed over and recognized Da Jiu. Before the joy could fully appear on his face, he noticed that his older brother had brought back a little girl and had even placed her in his car.
Such indulgence—wasn't this just looking for a new partner? How could this not be distressing for his sister-in-law to witness?
