Chapter 551 - 551: Good News

Jiang Xinghai looked at the stunningly beautiful face before him, then glanced in the direction Miss Feng had fled. "And you?" he asked.

Zhu Yan smiled faintly. "That woman's personality changes too quickly. I can't figure her out."

"Yeah. That's exactly why I'm hesitating about whether to trust her," Jiang Xinghai said, frowning slightly.

"If we go after her now, we can still kill her."

Zhu Yan glanced at Miss Feng's wretched, retreating figure. "Or, you could make her your servant."

"I checked just now. She's already someone else's servant." Of course, Jiang Xinghai had had the same thought.

'As expected, Miss Feng's master had to be Mr. Long!'

"So, you're just going to let her leave like that?" Zhu Yan tightened her grip on Jiang Xinghai's arm.

"If I don't let her go, there'll be no one to deliver my message to Mr. Long."

Jiang Xinghai felt rather helpless, but he wasn't worried about Miss Feng breaking her promise.

Still, he had to take precautions to ensure the safety of the people around him.

"Zhu Yan, how did she find you?"

Jiang Xinghai waved his hand, sending out a wave of air that overturned the loose soil, burying Miss Feng's left arm.

"I received orders that a dangerous individual had arrived in the Provincial City. Who would have thought it'd be her." Thinking back to the moment she first met Miss Feng, a lingering fear still gripped Zhu Yan.

"I'm sorry. I'm the one who got you involved in this."

Jiang Xinghai was filled with guilt, feeling he had wronged Zhu Yan.

He hadn't expected Miss Feng to capture Zhu Yan, someone he barely knew, to threaten him.

"Then tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?"

Zhu Yan puffed out her chest, generously showing off her figure.

"Name your price. Even if you want to eat me up, I won't say a word."

Jiang Xinghai reached out and pulled Zhu Yan into his embrace. He had said he was going to conquer this woman.

"Uh… here?"

Zhu Yan let out a soft moan, burying her blushing face in Jiang Xinghai's chest as she glanced around at the nearby tombstones.

"With a woman as sexy as you, how could I possibly be so bold right here?" Jiang Xinghai whispered, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

Zhu Yan let out a playful cry, shrugged her shoulders, and turned her face to look at Jiang Xinghai with her beautiful eyes. Her cherry-red lips parted slightly. "Then why are you getting so handsy with me? Let's get out of here."

Jiang Xinghai gave a wicked smile, wrapped his arm around Zhu Yan's waist, and started walking forward.

The two of them drove away from the West Mountain cemetery.

「In a grove of trees along the road.」

"The scenery here is quite nice, don't you think?"

Zhu Yan gave Jiang Xinghai a meaningful look, then pointed toward the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Basking in the sunset... adds a certain mood." Jiang Xinghai turned the steering wheel and drove into the small woods.

Zhu Yan was an experienced woman. Without any pretense, she reclined her seat all the way back.

Jiang Xinghai's desire intensified, and without another word, he made the incomparably beautiful woman his.

Only when the sun had completely set did the two of them, bathed in the twilight and still wanting more, drive toward the city.

From the first time Jiang Xinghai saw Zhu Yan at the airport, he had wondered how he would conquer the aloof woman.

He had considered all sorts of methods, but he never thought it would happen under these circumstances.

To be precise, it was Miss Feng's appearance that had accelerated and eased the budding affection between him and Zhu Yan.

「The city.」

Zhu Yan gripped Jiang Xinghai's hand tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance to part. "I know you're busy, so let's say goodbye here. I hope that the next time we meet, you can bring me some more unexpected pleasure."

"Will you be staying in the Provincial City?" Jiang Xinghai also felt reluctant to let her go.

This woman had a special fragrance about her. To part with her right after making her his was indeed a bit melancholy.

"Most likely, but it's not certain. Maybe one day I'll be sent to the frontier to guard the border—a place like where you said your Second Senior Sister is." Zhu Yan didn't hide anything, simply revealing a bit about her itinerary.

"Maybe one day, I'll make a trip to the frontier myself." Jiang Xinghai had always wanted to meet his Second Senior Sister, Zhong Yunman.

If a good opportunity arose, he would naturally go.

"No more talking. My ride is here."

Zhu Yan's expression suddenly turned stern. She gave Jiang Xinghai a serious look and was about to get out of the car.

But she couldn't resist turning back to give the man a passionate kiss before rushing out of the car and jumping into a Hummer.

After watching Zhu Yan leave, Jiang Xinghai let out a soft sigh.

He then began to think about his next steps.

'If there's no news about Mirror Lake Manor in Shanghai... then Mirror Lake Manor, which is actually a cage, must be in the Imperial City.'

He tried to contact Nightingale, who was in Shanghai, while driving back.

'I've called Nightingale three times in a row and she hasn't picked up. Is she too busy to answer, or did she just not hear it?'

Jiang Xinghai decided to give up on contacting Nightingale for the time being.

Then, he called Lin Liping and Feng Lulu one after the other, preparing to go to the Feng Family's home with them.

To fulfill the promise he had made to treat Feng Zhuoran's leukemia.

Before he even reached the Feng Family's home, Jiang Xinghai's phone rang with a call from Nightingale.

"Sorry, Young Master Jiang! I was just diving. Good news!"

Nightingale was the first to speak: "We've confirmed the approximate location of Mirror Lake Manor!"
