Chapter 1418: Chapter 1419 Encountered Assault (1)
After breakfast, Gu Yelin changed his clothes and was about to leave when Chiang Yu suddenly called out to him.
“General Gu, there’s something that’s been bothering me, but I’m not sure if I should ask.” Chiang Yu looked hesitant and conflicted inside.
Sitting on the side, An Yiqing curled her lips into a smile and glanced at Gu Yelin.
Gu Yelin looked at Chiang Yu calmly, “Mr. Chiang, are you referring to the Xuanqing Sect matter?”
Chiang Yu was taken aback and then nodded with a bitter smile, “As expected of General Gu, nothing escapes you. I want to know if there’s any way to minimize the damage from this Xuanqing Sect issue. Jinyin City has been in turmoil recently, with many officials taken down by your investigative team. I truly despise their actions and those of Sect Leader Long, but I can’t bear to see the Xuanqing Sect get caught up in it as well. General Gu, what do you think…”
Chiang Yu looked at Gu Yelin cautiously, his eyes filled with tension and anticipation. He didn’t care about the fate of Long Zaitian, the Shao Brothers, or those high-ranking officials in Jinyin City, but he could not ignore the survival of the Xuanqing Sect.
“Mr. Chiang, the leader of the Xuanqing Sect is Long Zaitian. He is the key to dragging everyone down,” Gu Yelin said calmly.
Chiang Yu gave a bitter smile. He was well aware that Long Zaitian was the reason for the sect’s troubles. As long as Long remained leader, the Xuanqing Sect remained in danger. Though he had emotionally considered letting An Yiqing take over, his rational mind kept reminding him of Long Zaitian’s ruthlessness, and he couldn’t betray his principles.
This softness of heart had allowed Long Zaitian to suppress him repeatedly. Even though he’d left the Xuanqing Sect, he still hoped Long Zaitian would come to his senses and make the sect glorious again.
An Yiqing could see what Chiang Yu was thinking. She said nothing, just shook her head lightly at Gu Yelin, giving him a meaningful look.
Gu Yelin’s dark eyes grew a little somber, with a hint of inexplicable helplessness in them, and finally, he nodded as if in compromise.
“I’m leaving. Take care of yourself,” Gu Yelin said, gently running his hand through An Yiqing’s hair, full of thought.
An Yiqing nodded, leaving a gentle kiss on Gu Yelin’s face, smiling as she watched him leave.
“Uncle Chiang, stop worrying. Let me take you to see Yuyuanzhai. You’ll be dealing with many of these matters working with me from now on.”
Chiang Yu nodded, sorting out his tumultuous thoughts. Never mind, he was part of An Yiqing’s team now; he should just focus on his work. As for the survival of the Xuanqing Sect, he would just do his best!
After getting ready, An Yiqing took Chiang Yu by car to the Yuyuanzhai branch in Jinyin City.
Since An Yiqing had stirred up the Xuanqing Sect into chaos, the development of Yuyuanzhai and Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals had been unobstructed, flourishing greatly. The Yuyuanzhai branch that was once deserted now bustled with activity, making a name for itself in Jinyin City. Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, already prestigious, had recreated its past glory in Jinyin City like in Xuandu City.
“Uncle Chiang, besides Yuyuanzhai and Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, we have another enterprise,” An Yiqing said softly after describing Yuyuanzhai and Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals.
Chiang Yu was a bit surprised. The data showed that An Yiqing only had these two enterprises. Were there more?
“Xuanjin Yu Jade is also my business,” An Yiqing said calmly.
Chiang Yu paused for a moment, heart pounding. He knew about Xuanjin Yu Jade. Before An Yiqing came to Jinyin City, a month earlier, as the leader in the Northern Xuanjin jade wholesale industry, Xuanjin Yu Jade officially entered the South, with Jinyin City as its first stop.
