"Oh? The Wang family's business has benefited greatly from Imperial Censor Wang's assistance. My Zhao family cannot allow any conflict between you brothers."
Wang He grabbed Jiang Bai, whose brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't show it very obviously.
Wang He felt a little better.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I only want to cooperate because of you. Don't you want to establish a firm foothold in Beijing?"
Wang He thought his words were very persuasive.
"With my help, Wang He, you, Jiang Bai, will become the most famous businesswoman in the capital within a year."
Jiang Bai smiled, his eyes sparkling with confidence: "What Boss Wang said is indeed very tempting."
“Boss Jiang is a smart man. There’s no future in following Zhao Yi. What if you hadn’t followed Wang He?”
Jiang Bai lowered his eyes slightly, making it impossible to read his expression.
However, Wang He thought Jiang Bai was just shy and took another step closer.
Jiang Bai suddenly stood up: "Then, I will have to rely on Boss Wang from now on."
Wang He laughed twice and reached out with his other hand, but Jiang Bai suddenly spoke up: "Boss Wang, you're drunk."
As she spoke, she reached out and gently pressed the sleeping acupoint on the back of Wang He's neck, and Wang He immediately fell to the ground.
Wang He was a big guy, and there was a loud thud.
The servants outside also heard the commotion, but dared not make a sound and ruin their master's good time.
Jiang Bai looked down at Wang He on the ground and kicked him twice: "Boss Wang?"
"Mr. Wang?"
Wang He had already fainted and was unresponsive.
Jiang Bai grabbed him by the collar and, with great effort, threw him onto the bed before leaving Chun Yue Lou through the window.
As the moon rose high in the sky, Jiang Bai stepped from the roof beams towards the Zhao residence, bathed in moonlight.
Zhao Yi paced back and forth in the courtyard, unable to fall asleep. His two children were fast asleep, but his face showed great anxiety.
"Is there any news from Madam?"
"Reporting to Master, there has been no news from Madam."
Zhao Yi found a seat, sighed, and felt that he should have stayed with Bai'er.
Just as he was about to head to Chunyue Tower, Jiang Bai appeared in the courtyard.
Zhao Yi and the others were all startled.
"You all want to go down."
Zhao Yi went up and pulled Jiang Bai back, "Bai'er, are you alright?"
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. That Wang He really has a lot of nerve, daring to have such unruly thoughts about me."
At this point, Zhao Yi's expression suddenly turned cold.
"However, I want to play the long game; he is the key to our Great Sword Dynasty family."
Zhao Yi didn't quite understand Jiang Bai's meaning.
Jiang Bai tiptoed slightly and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhao Yi's expression changed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "It is indeed a good plan."
Jiang Bai said proudly, "Of course. If we can't eradicate it completely, it will always be a problem."
"Neither Wang Chao nor Wang He are good people."
Zhao Yi neither confirmed nor denied it, and then asked, "How is Wang He now?"
Jiang Bai told Zhao Yi everything that had happened at Chun Yue Lou. Zhao Yi frowned slightly and said, "It would be best if Wang He wouldn't suspect anything tomorrow."
"Don't worry about that. Wang He is far more stupid than I imagined."
Without the support of the dynasty, Wang He would never have been able to achieve such success in the capital.
The next day, when Wang He woke up, he felt an intense pain at the back of his head, as if he had been struck hard by something.
He struggled to his feet, and there was indeed no one around him.
His scheme failed?
But he couldn't remember anything about last night, except that Jiang Bai smiled at him.
Wang He stood up, pushed open the door, and went out: "When did Jiang Bai leave?"
The servant was somewhat surprised: "Boss Jiang hasn't come out yet!"
Wang He's face suddenly darkened: "Don't I have eyes?! You bastards!"
The servant did take a short nap last night, but that shouldn't be enough to make him unaware of someone coming out.
But when he went inside, there was indeed no one there.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Return to the manor!"
All the way, Wang He kept thinking about what happened last night, but the more he thought about it, the more his head ached. Not only did he not remember anything, but his old ailment also flared up.
Two days later, Wang He finally contacted Jiang Bai again.
One day, Jiang Bai was taking inventory of medicinal herbs in the shop when Jiang Bai arrived with his men, making quite a scene.
Jiang Bai raised her eyes slightly, and only stood up when Wang He entered, forcing a smile on her face: "Isn't this Boss Wang?"
Wang He looked at Jiang Bai and smiled, "Boss Jiang, are you busy?"
"No rush, Mr. Wang is here. Even if you're busy, you'll still have time, right?"
Jiang Bai's attitude towards him was much better than before; in fact, it could be described as attentive.
Wang He stopped thinking about it. He was certain that he had reached an agreement with Jiang Bai that night. As for why he couldn't remember anything, perhaps it was because he had drunk too much.
"Mr. Wang, is there something important you need this time?"
Wang He and Jiang Bai entered the inner hall. After Jiang Bai had tea served to him, he sent everyone away.
"I've come here to deliver some nice things to Boss Wang."
Wang He was even happier to see Jiang Bai call everyone away.
"I recently received a batch of top-quality medicinal herbs from Jiangnan. Since we've already partnered with Boss Jiang, it's only natural to show some sincerity. As for Boss Jiang..."
Wang He's gaze was now more audacious than before.
Jiang Bai laughed instead of getting angry, but inwardly he sneered, thinking that Wang He thought he could win him over by sending some nice things.
If we really want to show our sincerity, these things are not important; what's important is having access to these good medicinal herbs.
“Mr. Wang, since you’ve said you want to show your sincerity, then don’t blame me for being blunt.”
Wang He sized up Jiang Bai, already guessing what Jiang Bai was thinking.
"Mr. Jiang is indeed different from ordinary people. I thought that Mr. Jiang looked down on such small favors."
Jiang Bai remained silent, only smiling as he looked at him.
As he spoke, he pulled out a list from his pocket, which was indeed a list of herbal medicine suppliers from Jiangnan.
With these lists in place, a supply channel for medicinal herbs from both the north and south can be established.
Currently, only Wang He possesses these channels.
This is why Wang He was able to inflate prices without fear during times of disaster.
Besides the protection of the dynasty, he also had his own methods.
As soon as Jiang Bai reached out, Zhao Yi took the booklet back.
"Boss Wang, it seems you still don't trust me."
Wang He's fat face was all squeezed together: "Boss Jiang, shouldn't we at least show some sincerity?"
The sincerity he wanted was nothing more than Jiang Bai.
