Chapter 169: The Su Family Mansion (Part 1) First Release...

There were not many vehicles outside the wealthy area, and pedestrians were even rarer. Chen Ming did not need to worry about the pedestrians on the road at this moment, and his driving skills were finally demonstrated. The black SUV was speeding towards the ancestral home that Su Qing mentioned.

Godwin was not surprised by the speed and passion. After all, in his eyes, the speed was just a joke. His full attention was on his followers.

Shen Jiang pretended to ignore the intense gazes fixed on her, but the more she did so, the more she lost focus. Unable to bear it any longer, she turned away helplessly and asked uncomfortably, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Godwin shook his head: "What you did just now surprised me." His golden eyes were filled with unconcealable admiration.

Shen Jiang was stunned. What did Godwin mean by this? Why was he looking so pleased? There was an undeniable affirmation and admiration in his eyes, like a parent encouraging a child to do something bad. Her methods had clearly been less than honorable, exploiting a patient's desire for recovery to achieve her own goals. This was clearly contrary to her duty as a doctor.

It seems that this is the kind of person Godwin hates the most?

Can love really make people so blind?

Confusion flickered in the believer's dark pupils, and then he blinked twice, which made Godwin's heart itch. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, but it had been a frequent one since he had known the believer. He couldn't help but explain, "I thought you were going to heal that woman."

Chen Ming drove, his mind focused, but the car was quiet. The young man's voice in the back seat reached him clearly. Chen Ming had been in good health since childhood, rarely getting sick, and didn't prioritize Traditional Chinese Medicine over Western medicine. However, he had heard some people claim that Traditional Chinese Medicine was pseudo-medicine, that it was nothing but deception and couldn't cure anything. He had previously laughed it off, but when the young woman had just fooled the disabled girl, he had finally grasped the deceptive nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her rhetoric was truly convincing.

The young woman just now was disabled. If she could really cure him, wouldn't that be a medical miracle? Only a sick person would choose to trust her out of desperation. As an outsider, he could see it clearly. He knew with a little thought that she was deceiving the girl.

This young man actually asked such a question as "Do you think she can cure that woman?" Chen Ming couldn't help but start to doubt the intelligence of the young man in the back seat.

Shen Jiang's smile did not reach his eyes: "You think I am too kind."

Su Qing was the culprit behind her family's destruction. She was like a nightmare, a constant haunting presence. Shen Jiang couldn't understand Su Qing's train of thought. She naturally didn't expect her to be like a normal person. If she cured a sick person, their family would be grateful, but Su Qing might even resent her. She enjoyed studying medicine and saving lives, but she didn't like repaying kindness with evil.

Godwin shook his head. "You're even better than I thought. It's my honor to have a believer like you."

When they first met, he hated her secretive and ghostly tricks and her flattering appearance that was inconsistent with her own temperament. However, after getting to know her again and again, he was always unconsciously attracted to her characteristics, and even began to feel sorry for her and fall for her.

Godwin felt as if he had found the answer that moved him. Beyond the believer's endearing and charming appearance, her soul seemed remarkably resilient. She was weak, yet never complained. Every time they met, he was astonished by her progress. She was clearly a mere human with limited abilities, yet she always relished the chance to snatch her companions' lives from the clutches of death, sometimes to the point of neglecting sleep and food. She was decisive and clear-headed, rarely wavering, and once she made a decision, she never looked back or regretted it.

Especially the last point, it's very much like him, not bad.

Shen Jiang's face flushed at Godwin's sudden, heartfelt confession. What was going on? Why was he suddenly praising her? What she had just done was actually a bit mean. If her grandmother knew, she'd probably disapprove. She felt a sudden pang of pain at receiving such high praise from Godwin.

She couldn't tell her grandmother about these strange experiences, anything about the precognitive dreams, she couldn't tell anyone else. But now she suddenly realized that even if Godwin didn't know all this, he could understand all her decisions.

A believer? It seems this guy is still a bit of a non-mainstream person. Chen Ming, driving from the front seat, thought to himself that the ways young men these days pursue girls are really old-fashioned. They just use forced compliments. He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw two distinct blushes on the woman behind him, her expression clearly touching.

Well, it seems these two people like each other.

Then this guy has a chance.

The three of them soon arrived at Dayan Village, where the Su family's ancestral home was located. Thanks to the fame of the Su Group, Shen Jiang directly found a report on the Internet about Mr. Su returning to his hometown, and the report included the address of the Su family's hometown.

The three of them did not rashly break into the Su family's ancestral home. It was not because they did not want to, but Chen Ming, with his professional characteristics as a soldier, keenly noticed that the security personnel outside the ancestral home were unusual.

"Those security guards are not ordinary people, we can't go over there rashly. You wait here, I will ask the leader to ask for a combat team to come over." Chen Ming said with a frown, then walked aside to make a phone call.

There must be a ghost in this place, he was almost certain.

"The security here is armed, and their eyes are not right... Captain, listen to me, we really need backup here."

It can be seen that things are not going well for Chen Ming.

Shen Jiang didn't have time to wait for him to convince the person on the other end of the phone. Even if they were willing to send someone over, there wouldn't be enough time. She had already spent too much time running back and forth, and if this continued, the day would be over.

"Godwin, since you have recovered your strength, it should be okay for you to take me in, right?" Shen Jiang raised his head and looked at Godwin with bright eyes.

Godwin froze for a second.

Shen Jiang continued, "Just get those people away. Killing people in this world can be very troublesome. You must be careful with your strength later. Just knock them out."

Godwin was helpless: "My power is too strong. They are just ordinary people. No matter how hard I try, they will die."

This time it was Shen Jiang's turn to be stunned: "Huh?"

This is not a easy task.

Godwin thought with a dull face that he must not let his believers know that his strength had not actually recovered.

Shen Jiang refused to give up: "Then do you have a way to prevent others from discovering us? For example, invisible magic or something like that? I have to go in."

Everything in the Su Kang Pharmaceutical laboratory had been moved away, and Su Xingran suddenly ran to such a remote place where no one lived, and even hired a bunch of security guards to guard the house. Maybe the truth she wanted was in there.

Godwin, acting like a big boss, said calmly, "That's easy."

He raised his hand, and Shen Jiang felt magical energy flowing around her. She looked at her body; it was still visible. But then, she felt a fiery touch on her palm.

Godwin held Shen Jiang's hand. Shen Jiang couldn't see his expression, but from his tone, he knew he was in a good mood. "I'll hold you so that we don't bump into each other on the way."

Shen Jiang: "Can they hear us when we talk?"

Godwin: "I can create a magical sound barrier around us. Only we can hear the sounds inside the barrier."

Shen Jiang was very satisfied: "As expected of Lord Black Dragon, he is so comprehensive."

Godwin reminded her: "This is just a deception. In fact, they can still touch our bodies, so you have to be careful to avoid those people later."

Shen Jiang understood.

The sleight of hand the boss mentioned made her think of the principle of cylindrical gratings. They seemed to have "disappeared", but in fact, they were perfectly wrapped in a layer of material. Because this layer of material affected the refraction of light, in the eyes of those people, they did not exist.

Shen Jiang waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Chen Ming was busy communicating, and suddenly he found that the two people in the car were gone. He immediately became anxious: Didn’t he say that those security guards looked strange? Why were these two people so disobedient? Could they have just rushed in so rashly?

He looked towards the Su family's ancestral home. The entrance was exactly the same as before, and the security guards hadn't even moved. In this situation, either Shen Jiang and his men had gone to the surrounding area to find a place to climb over the wall, or the security guards were very good at it and had knocked the man unconscious on the spot, tied him up in the cellar, and then quickly returned to their original position.

Chen Ming thought for a while and decided to take a look around the house.

On this side, Shen Jiang and Godwin had already walked into the Su family's ancestral home hand in hand.

This was a Chinese-style garden building, much larger than Shen Jiang had imagined. It was clearly well-maintained, with pavilions and terraces complementing the plant landscape. There was even a large pond somewhere. Shen Jiang even wondered for a moment: Isn't this really a park?

But soon, she knew it wasn't.

A striking young man and woman stood in the pavilion. Shen Jiang couldn't catch their exact conversation from a distance, but she recognized them instantly. The man exuded an air of grandeur, not because he wore a plethora of expensive clothes and jewelry, but because his long tenure in power gave him a distinctly domineering aura. Shen Jiang knew without hesitation that this man was Su Xingran, the male protagonist of this so-called novel world, and the innocent girl before him, as pure as a white flower, was naturally the female protagonist.

Shen Jiang shook Godwin: "Go over and listen to what they are talking about."

As they got closer, Shen Jiang heard the girl saying, "I don't think it's a good idea for us to keep avoiding each other like this. Your parents have opinions about me because they don't understand me yet. Xingran, believe me, I will definitely make them like me."

Su Xingran shook his head. "You're very good. You don't have to force yourself to please them. The Su Group hasn't fallen to the point where it has to rely on marriage to consolidate its business empire. I said that after a while, they will naturally compromise. Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you..."

Shen Jiang fell silent after listening to a few words. She looked up and found that the two people were stuck together and inseparable.

Shen Jiang's stomach churned, and she wanted to poke her eyes out.

There was chaos outside, but the instigator was here, feeling at ease and content under the moonlight. It must be said that Shen Jiang was disgusted by the shameless behavior of the male protagonist of the novel.

Shen Jiang shook Godwin: "Let's go somewhere else."

She turned to leave, but this time Godwin was a little slow to react.

After strolling around this maze-like ancient house, Shen Jiang finally found the target she was looking for.
