Kong Sang's face gradually showed signs of going berserk. They were still being intimate when he said this, yet he was distracted by recording the conversation?

Lin Changli leaned back calmly: "I was afraid you wouldn't admit it, but the truth is as I thought. Sangsang, lying isn't good for a child."

Regardless of who thinks the truth, Kong Sang only knows that she wants to strangle him right now.

Throwing the question of whether her heart felt empty or not to the back of her mind, Kong Sang got up and pounced on Lin Changli, intending to teach him a lesson about what it means to be a cucumber that deserves a slap!

Lin Changli glided up with a smooth, airborne motion, saying as he dodged, "Sang Sang, do you really run often? You seem a bit lazy."

"Ah, Lin Changli, you're dead meat."

He was on the run, she was chasing, and the two played around on the outskirts of the rainforest, their laughter and affection spilling everywhere.

Yu Wei watched with a smile. It was so good. Chang Li really loved Kong Sang and couldn't bear to see her even a little bit sad.

Si Yu raised an eyebrow, still feeling resentful, but he seemed to understand why An Xiuqi didn't choose him.

His love was passionate, but not subtle. Kong Sang was an extremely sensitive girl, and he couldn't be considerate of everyone, but Lin Changli could...

Happy times are always short-lived. So many people in the Nie family have died, and before they could even leave, people were already trying to intercept them.

It's unclear how the Leisen family learned of the Nie family's annihilation, but a large group of Leisen family members arrived just as they were about to leave the rainforest.

If it weren't for Jinghe William keeping a close eye on things and bringing reinforcements as well, they would probably have suffered losses with only Wei Shengyi's bruised and battered men.

R country is, after all, someone else's territory, and Kongsang has no intention of intervening.

Outside the rainforest, rows of black cars were parked, each carrying a burly man in a black suit, all with bulging bodies and plenty of equipment.

Genetically modified individuals are formidable, but in the age of modern weaponry, a single burst of fire would be enough to kill most of them.

Luo Jie Laisen is the current head of the Laisen family. At around 50 years old, he has weathered many storms and crossed mountains and rivers. His mature demeanor makes him even more difficult to deal with.

He didn't smile, but you didn't find him rude. Kong Sang met his gaze but didn't speak.

Wei Sheng stepped forward and said, "Isn't this the head of the Laisen family? What... are you bringing so many people to raid my black market?"

“Mr. Wei Sheng is joking. The black market has existed in R country for a long time and has always had a good relationship with various families. I am just representing Leisen to sincerely invite Miss Nie to be my guest.”

"After all, the Nie family suffered such heavy losses in R country. We need to find out the truth and give the Nie family an explanation."

Wei Shengyi's pale green eyes were full of sarcasm: "Alright, enough with the official talk. You want to detain Nie Kongsang? The William family and I won't stand by and watch. Do you want a bloody fight or what?"

Jinghe William didn't speak, but he stood behind Nie Kongsang, which made his stance clear.

Nie Kongsang has developed a new bud, and this medicine has been made public. Although few people buy it due to the Nie family, everyone knows how effective it is.

This is almost as valuable as a national treasure, who wouldn't want it?

Originally, R country couldn't directly detain people because of C country and the Nie family, but the fact that so many members of the Nie family died in R country gave them the opportunity to keep people there.

Luo Jie Leisen did not respond; his expressionless face always puts pressure on people, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

“Patriarch Leisen, if I’m not mistaken, you’re not willing to be suppressed by my brother.”

“The development of a new drug that would have shocked the world and been a source of pride for your family was suppressed by my brother because of the lack of raw materials. All that hope became a wedding dress for the launch of the ninth generation of gene drugs in the Nie family.”

“I understand you very well, because I am just as upset. I could have lived a better life if I had left the Nie family, but I was forced to be suppressed. Our positions are actually not in conflict.”

Luo Jie Laisen's expression shifted slightly: "No conflict? Whether you're representing R Country or the Nie family's downline, Laisen's stance is different from yours regarding publicly challenging Miss Nie of his own family."

Kong Sang smiled gently: "That depends on how you interpret it. If you are willing to let Laisen take my brother's surname Nie, then we have nothing to talk about."

"But I must remind you, there are too many wolves and not enough meat. Over the years, the Nie family has grown into countless sub-families. As for Laisen from R country, how much meat do you think you can tear off from an already mature pack of wolves?"

"But... let's look at it another way. I, as a young beast, am still very weak and need more people to support me to survive. But the young beast will eventually grow up, and what she can give back to you is a new world."

Everyone's expressions flickered slightly; this was blatant poaching.

Although it's just empty talk, you have to admit it's very appealing...

Nie Kongsang is currently unable to develop due to the suppression of the Nie family's halo. Once she gathers enough power to break through the gap, she will undoubtedly become the next Nie family.

The sooner you join Nie Kongsang's family, the more you'll be carried along, just like the founders of a powerful organization who become elders as the organization expands.

Luo Jie Laisen revealed a hint of appreciation: "Miss Nie, very good negotiation skills, but unfortunately... Laisen has already chosen President Nie, and business must be based on integrity."

Kong Sang laughed out loud: "Honesty? It's just that the price of betrayal isn't high enough. I've been suppressed by my brother too much since I was a child. I've already rebelled. The more you want to follow him, the more I'll stick with Laisen."

"I heard you have a young son who has just come of age and is very talented in medicine. Give him to me, and I'll raise him for you, how about that?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed... You can do that? This is incredibly skillful, no wonder it's the Nie family.

Luo Jie Leisen's expression changed: "What does Miss Nie mean?"

“I can publicly acknowledge him as my younger brother and provide for all his needs after he comes of age. He can grow up by my side. Head of the Laisen family doesn’t need to worry at all that I will mistreat Laisen in the future. Is this enough for you to break your promise?”

Luo Jie Leisen replied without hesitation, "Miss Nie must be tired after crossing the no-man's land. You can go back to the hotel to rest first. I will send my son there first thing tomorrow morning. I will trouble Miss Nie to take care of him in the future."

Kong Sang chuckled: "Very good, the feeling of being pushed back feels so good."

A palpable joy emanated from him; his brows and eyes were imbued with the vibrant energy of spring breaking through the snow. He brushed past Luo Jie Leisen's shoulder and casually got into one of their cars.

Yu Wei and the others looked strange as they got into their cars and left one after another. The Leisen family was dealt with just like that, which was something no one had expected.

But no one can say this move is bad. Taking over a family without bloodshed is just a testament to Kong Sang's intelligence. She may lack in business, but when it comes to surprise attacks, she's absolutely perfect.

Trading the name of a younger brother for the support of an entire family—it's hard to say who benefited, but it was certainly unexpected.

The rainforest experience had taken its toll, and the group didn't bother to gather together to analyze anything. Instead, they all returned to their hotel rooms to wash up and rest.

Even Lin Changli didn't cause trouble in Kongsang.

After washing up, Kong Sang collapsed onto the bed and fell into insomnia mode again. Her eyes were blank for a long time before she thought to herself, "An Xiuqi, don't you want to talk to me?"
