Su Yang entered the room and gestured for Duan Xiaosan to lie down.
Duan Xiaosan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Su Yang knew she was shy.
"Do it yourself."
"Isn't it the same whether you do it or I do it?"
Duan Xiaosan gritted her teeth, took off her jacket, closed her eyes, and lay down.
"Doctor Su, please begin..."
Duan Xiaosan clasped her fingers together and placed them on her abdomen.
Su Yang inserted several needles and continued to replace her blood with a fresh batch.
During the second blood transfusion, Duan Xiaosan clearly couldn't bear it. Her face was pale, and her lips were dry and cracked.
"Third sister, you should rest well tomorrow. I won't be coming."
"Third sister? I'm older than you, call me sister!"
Duan Xiaosan had gradually gotten used to Su Yang's personality, his fondness for joking and teasing his sisters.
"Where are you older than me?"
"You... I'm not talking to you anymore, you're so indecent..."
Su Yang chuckled and inserted a few more needles.
Duan Xiaosan's blood slowly flowed within her body, merging with the old blood.
The purple blood also gradually faded, circulating continuously.
"Doctor Su, don't rush off immediately after. Xiao Qi wants to see you."
Su Yang was taken aback. "She saw me just now, why didn't she say anything?"
"You'll know when you go find her yourself."
Duan Xiaosan was being mysterious, and Su Yang couldn't figure it out.
"Third sister, I have a question for you."
Duan Xiaosan rolled her eyes. "Call me sister, I'm a few years older than you!"
"Well, aren't you all very traditional? Like, if someone touches your hand, touches... then you have to marry that person."
"Su Yang, go to hell..."
Duan Xiaosan exploded with anger and threw a pillow at him.
Su Yang quickly packed his needles and fled. This woman, unlike the second sister of the Duan family, was not gentle and virtuous, but a complete firecracker.
...
In the front courtyard, Duan Xiaoqi paced back and forth, her twin ponytails swinging, occasionally glancing towards the back courtyard.
When she saw Su Yang approaching, she was both happy and nervous, her small hands unsure where to place themselves.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you today?"
Su Yang remembered that when he first met Duan Xiaoqi, she was very decisive and efficient. Now, she was acting so coy.
"Um, I'd like to take you to see the scenery of our Duan Family Villa?"
Duan Xiaoqi lowered her head, tugged at Su Yang's sleeve, and led him through the back courtyard to the rear mountain.
The Duan Family Villa was built on a mountaintop. The two ascended a pentagonal tower.
Standing on the tower and looking into the distance, they could see the bustling streets of Songhai.
A gust of wind blew, rustling their clothes.
Su Yang sighed, "It's been a long time since I've had the leisure to enjoy the scenery. I really miss the old days!"
"Um, are you very busy?"
"More than busy, I feel like I'm moving even in my sleep."
After finally getting rid of his love rival Ding Bowen and reclaiming the Dragon Head, he hadn't had time to rest before having to save people.
Su Yang could fall asleep now just by closing his eyes.
"Then you go ahead. We'll talk again later!"
Duan Xiaoqi wanted to say something but stopped. Su Yang, not noticing, nodded and descended the tower.
"Xiao Qi, I'm going back now. If you need anything, come to my place!"
"Mhm, mhm."
Su Yang rubbed his eyes, forcing himself to stay alert as he drove his Koenigsegg home.
On the way.
Zong Ze called.
"Brother Su, did you get the Supreme Token?"
"Yes, what's up?"
"Um, do you want to join the Security Bureau? Brother will give you a deputy director position, and we'll aim for a full directorship in next year's election!"
Su Yang guessed that Zong Ze was planning a promotion next year.
The position of Director of the Songhai Security Bureau would become vacant.
The second-in-command of Songhai, with thousands of subordinates.
"Brother Zong, I'll seriously consider it."
"Alright, when you've made up your mind, report to the Security Bureau. I'll immediately arrange for someone to assist you."
As soon as Su Yang hung up, Zhou Chengcheng called.
"What is it?"
"Chairman Su, Director Zhou's people are here, guarding outside the villa."
"Let them come. His son is still at my place, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Besides the Construction Bureau, there are some people whose badges I don't recognize. Please come back quickly!"
"Okay, I'll be there immediately!"
Su Yang slapped his face. These people really knew how to pick their timing.
...
Outside Villa Longpan No. 1.
Representatives from various factions had gathered, making it quite lively.
When they saw the Koenigsegg, everyone made way.
Su Yang looked at their uniforms and badges. Representatives from the Zhen Guo Army, the Construction Bureau, and the Shadow Group were all present.
Adding the previous invitations from the Cultural Relics Association and the Security Bureau, only the Legal Affairs Department, the Finance Department, and people from that most mysterious organization in the capital were missing.
"Mr. Su, I am Zhou Dafu. Do you remember me?"
A plump captain from the Construction Bureau bowed his head.
Su Yang remembered him from Chicken Island.
"Captain Zhou, what happened to your face?"
Zhou Dafu said aggrievedly, "That bastard surnamed Ding, relying on the former director's trust, ordered us to ambush you on Chicken Island.
When this matter reached the director, he slapped me several times that day. It hurt so much..."
Zhou Dafu's cheeks were covered in red handprints, indicating that Zhou Budao had hit him hard.
Su Yang suppressed a smile. "Um, why are you blocking my door?"
"Mr. Su, the director sent me to invite you to join the Construction Bureau."
"Didn't he say there were three assessments to pass?"
"Mr. Su, you jest. With the Supreme Token now, where are there so many rules? That token is a universal pass, valid everywhere!"
Zhou Dafu drooled as he looked at the token in Su Yang's hand.
"I'm not interested in the Construction Bureau for now. You can go back."
"Wait, I'd like to see Young Master Zhou Li. Can I go in?"
"As you wish!"
After Su Yang dismissed the Construction Bureau, the representative from the Zhen Guo Army stepped forward.
The man was burly, only half a head shorter than Jiang Hei, with a strong physique and several scars on his face. He did not smile easily.
"Hello, Mr. Su. I am Zhong Wu, in charge of the Third Warrior Regiment under the Commander."
Su Yang asked doubtfully, "Are you here for me, or for this token?"
Zhong Wu pondered for a moment and signaled his subordinates to move far away.
"They might be here for the token, but the Commander genuinely hopes you will join the Zhen Guo Army. I believe you know how highly he regards you!"
Su Yang did not deny this. Shi Wuzun had no need to curry favor with him.
"No, does my token have any special significance?"
Zhong Wu frowned, looked around to ensure no one was listening, and then spoke.
"This token is a one-time use. After you join a department, it will be collected by your superior."
"Its function is very significant, but I cannot disclose the details, nor can the Commander. Otherwise, that person in the capital..."
"So mysterious?"
Su Yang pocketed the token and thought for a moment. It was better not to use it for now.
"Alright, go back and tell Old Brother Shi that I'll keep the item for now."
"Then I shall take my leave!"
Zhong Wu waved his hand and left hastily with his subordinates.
The last representative, from the Shadow Group, was a thin man.
"Mr. Su, could we see your subordinate Jiang Hei?"
