Jiang Hei and the others waited for several hours on the first floor.
He sat aside, guarding, and occasionally looked up at the floor above.
Beside him, a woman rested her chin on her hands, also waiting with him.
The woman was Meng Jing’s assistant. She had gone upstairs to find Meng Jing an hour ago.
But upon hearing the sounds from inside, she had fled back down in fright.
“Hey, big guy, is your Mr. Su amazing? It’s been hours, doesn’t he get tired?”
Jiang Hei was also at a loss, “I don’t know either. I only went up once to deliver clothes, and your young lady bled a lot.”
“Alright, I thought your boss was efficient. I didn’t realize that although he’s not as tall as you, his combat power is off the charts.”
“Don’t compare me to Brother Yang. I can’t catch up to him even if I tried!”
Jiang Hei’s face was full of dark lines as he said gruffly.
When they got tired of standing, they sat down on the stairs to wait, a rather comical scene.
Those who wanted to go upstairs were stopped, leaving the staff of Chunshui Tower utterly confused.
A while later.
As evening approached, the guests at Chunshui Tower gradually dwindled.
On the top floor.
Meng Jing lay weakly, panting heavily, her voice trembling, and her legs shaking uncontrollably.
Su Yang said softly, “I’m sorry, I really put you through it today.”
“Are you leaving?”
“Mm-hmm. Did you refine the elixir formula for prolonging youth that I gave you last time?”
Meng Jing pointed to a drawer, “There are many elixirs there. Take whatever you want, as long as it’s labeled!”
Su Yang opened the drawer, which was packed full of bottles and jars.
Each had a label indicating the type of elixir, such as elixirs for prolonging youth, and elixirs for treating internal and external injuries.
The formula for the elixir of prolonging youth was given by the system previously, so it was handed over to Meng Jing for practice.
Although the elixir of prolonging youth was not as effective as the elixir of eternal life, it could slow down the aging of cells in the body after consumption, making it a rare treasure.
Su Yang packed many elixirs of prolonging youth, as he had many women, and the New Year was fast approaching.
“Jingjing, does this elixir of prolonging youth have any side effects?”
“Yes.”
“What? This also has them?”
“That is, after taking it, your skin becomes too good. I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist bothering people again. Does that count as a side effect?”
Su Yang’s face was full of dark lines. He reached out and patted Meng Jing, “You’ve learned to be mischievous too. I’ll teach you a good lesson next time.”
“You got the goods, and you’ve occupied me for five hours. Hurry up and go back.”
Meng Jing let him pat her; she didn’t even have the strength to lift her hand now.
“The New Year’s Eve is the day after tomorrow. Remember to come to Songhai to find me.”
Su Yang dropped the sentence and walked downstairs with a large pile of bottles and jars.
Meng Jing watched his retreating back and murmured to herself, “What a sin. Who will dare to seek you out in the future.”
…
First floor.
Jiang Hei and Meng Jing’s assistant quickly stood up and made way when they heard footsteps.
Su Yang smiled, “You two look quite compatible. Why don’t you just get together?”
“Mr. Su, stop joking. Big guy has no interest in me.”
The female assistant, holding up her long skirt, hurried upstairs to find Meng Jing.
Jiang Hei scratched his head, “Brother Yang, where are we going next?”
“To home, of course!”
“Oh, okay.”
After Su Yang put away the large pile of gift boxes, he leisurely sat in the passenger seat playing with his phone.
As the year drew to a close, Wuyou Media, Century Trade, the Conservatory of Music, and so on, all closed for the holidays.
Only the people in the Security Bureau did not have a holiday, due to the nature of their work.
Zhao Xiaolu left a message saying that the Security Bureau had been calm recently, with no major incidents.
Su Yang smiled. He wasn’t going back to the Security Bureau, Shangguan Yi was still in the hospital, and the high-ranking director Lin Feng was imprisoned by him.
Zhao Xiaolu was now, in effect, his representative, handling various matters.
[Xiaolu, don’t work overtime tonight. There’s a surprise waiting for you at home!]
Within three seconds, Zhao Xiaolu replied.
[Okay, I’ll be home soon!]
Besides the Security Bureau, Liu Xu also sent New Year’s greetings in advance.
And she asked what his plans were for New Year’s Eve, saying she was bored being home alone.
[Come over for dinner on New Year’s Eve. There will be many people here, as long as you don’t mind the noise!]
[Then it’s settled. It’s more lively with many people during the New Year!]
After replying to each woman’s message, Su Yang instructed Lu Qi to have people strengthen the defenses of Longpan No. 1, including other villas.
This was to prevent Shangguan Yi, or anyone else, from causing trouble.
At the same time, he also told his parents to stop going to Wanbaozhai and to close for a few days, reopening after the New Year.
“Heizi, remember to ask your mother to join us for dinner the day after tomorrow.”
Jiang Hei pondered for a moment, “It might not be appropriate for our family to dine with you and your group…”
Jiang Hei had always considered himself a subordinate and was hesitant to cross the line.
“What’s inappropriate about it? You’re my brother, and Xiaowanying is my woman. Our families are practically in-laws now.”
“Then, alright. I’ll do as you say.”
Jiang Hei thought about it and agreed. They chatted for a while and returned to Longpan No. 1.
…
The villa and its surroundings were newly renovated.
In the first-floor hall, a group of women were chatting and drinking tea.
“What are you chatting about, looking so happy?”
Su Yang sat in the middle. Meng Lianxin was as perceptive as ever.
“Tell me, where did the perfume scent from other women on you come from?”
“Where? I just went to get some treasures for you all.”
“I don’t believe you. You must have been with other women. The scent is so strong. How long have you been like this?”
Meng Lianxin sniffed. A woman’s intuition was very accurate.
Su Yang didn’t say much. He took out a large gift box containing dozens of bottles and jars.
As the bottles were opened, a fresh medicinal fragrance filled the room.
Everyone couldn’t help but sniff the air; the scent alone made them feel refreshed.
“What is this?”
“Elixir of prolonging youth!” Su Yang poured out a pure white pill. “It’s the best elixir for beautifying and moisturizing the skin. It can reduce cellular aging in the body. Do you like it?”
“I want one! Give it to me quickly to try!”
Hearing Su Yang describe the effects of the elixir of prolonging youth, the women all expressed their desire to try it.
“Alright, one per person. Taking more won’t have any extra effect!”
Yang Mange and the others swallowed the elixir of prolonging youth as soon as they received it.
The women looked at each other. In just three minutes, each of them showed different degrees of reaction.
“The calluses on my hands are gone.”
Yang Mange touched her palm. From using the computer frequently, there were calluses where she held the mouse.
Now, her skin was tender and smooth.
Meng Lianxin looked at her fingers, “My fingers also had calluses from playing the piano before, but they’ve all disappeared now. It’s amazing!”
“Yes, yes, my skin has gotten better too. This elixir must be very expensive, right?”
The women all looked at Su Yang, who shrugged.
“The elixir of prolonging youth is indeed expensive, and it’s not sold on the market at all. It takes forty-nine days to refine a finished product.”
“It’s so difficult to make. We’re so lucky to have you; otherwise, where would we get such a treasure?”
Meng Lianxin no longer pursued the matter of Su Yang finding other women. Instead, she said excitedly, “Thank you for the New Year’s gift. I’ll reward you properly tonight!”
“Really? Don’t call for help tonight, and don’t run away in the middle of the night!”
Su Yang chuckled. After spending hours with Meng Jing at Jinling Chunshui Tower, he had recovered his energy on the way home.
“You all sit here for a while. I’m going to deliver the elixirs of prolonging youth to Sister Qin and the others.”
“Okay, hurry up. We’ll wait for you to have dinner together!”
Su Yang picked up the last few bottles of the elixir of prolonging youth and headed to Zhang Suqin’s villa.
