As he spoke, he took out the bracelet, placed it on the table, and dialed a number.
The phone was answered after just one ring, and a slightly excited, clear female voice came from the other end, "Ah, you jerk, you finally remembered me! Where are you, Jiangzhou? I'm coming to find you right now..."
"Ahem, stop fooling around... Mr. Lei, I want to acquire your martial arts gym. This is my financial assistant, Yuan You. You can discuss the details with her."
Upon hearing that there was something important to discuss, Yuan You immediately quieted down.
"Acquisition? But I..."
“You have no choice, believe me.” Shen Qian calmly interrupted the frowning Lei Zong.
After a moment of surprise, Lei's gaze swept over Shen Qian's young face once more before he fell silent.
"Yuan You, after we've settled the deal, we'll pay right away. I'm going out for a walk first."
Before leaving, he gave Yuan You a final instruction in the bracelet, then took the hand of the still somewhat dazed Jiang Xuan and left the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

The wind from the Yangtze River carried a hint of moisture, caressing the young men and women strolling along its banks.
Under a sky full of stars, the girl hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Then the girl stopped, lowered her head again, and twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, as if nervously anticipating something.
Asiba.
As Shen Qian was pondering how to answer in a way that wouldn't make him seem like a jerk, the girl suddenly groaned and then clutched her head in pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Qian frowned and helped Jiang Xuan up.
"That...that voice, it's back again..." the girl said haltingly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
"What's that sound?" Shen Qian was startled, but after listening carefully, he found nothing unusual.
"I...I didn't know, it only appeared recently..."
"What is it saying?" Shen Qian used his mental power to investigate briefly and found that Jiang Xuan's brain nerves were indeed throbbing wildly. He quickly asked in a deep voice.
"It...it made me push open some kind of 'door'...Ouch, that hurts!"
Jiang Xuan curled up completely in Shen Qian's arms in pain, and her screams became sharper.
"Door"?
