Although Tang Xiu’s words were quite harsh and rude to the trio, he truly appreciated them since they were staking everything just to seize the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation. He was as though seeing the scene of a grand festive in the Immortal World, where myriads of living beings fought against the Heaven, facing the world, all while battling against other living beings.
After half an hour, Tang Xiu left the Green Lake Agricola by car but ordered Mo Awu to closely monitor the situation in the venue. He then brought Li Qiang to return to the Chang City Hotel.
“So, has everything been arranged well?” suddenly asked Tang Xiu after taking off his coat and looking at Xue Yue. She had taken a shower, and was now wearing pajamas while sitting on the couch reading a book.
Xue Yu put the book down and nodded, “Everything’s done. Also, I got a call from someone surnamed Huang. He invited me to a coffee café on the first floor of the hotel.”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “This guy is truly impatient, isn’t he? So, what then? Did you promise him?”
“If I didn’t promise, then how will I play my role in your script?” Xue Yu chuckled and said, “Anyway, do you really plan to use Li Qiang?”
“This guy is talented; taking him to use later might result in a good outcome in the future,” said Tang Xiu. “But I think he has some concerns in mind. I can tell that he wanted to speak to me about it many times tonight, but he ended up saying nothing.”
“Well, he has an ill family member,” said Xue Yu with a smile.
“Did you just use your divination art again?” asked Tang Xiu curiously.
“Nope. It’s the finding I got from the previous divination.” Xue Yu shook her head. “He seems to be short on money and should’ve been raising money to treat his family member. Also, I found something else interesting. Back when he betrayed every company that employed him, he always pushed each of its Boss to a miserable fate. He may be hated by those Bosses, but there were also some other variables in them too.”
Tang Xiu ruminated for a moment before he suddenly said, “Alright. Let Hei Xiong and Xue Sha take care of Boss Huang, while you and I have a trip to Li Qiang’s house then.”
“Alright!” gently nodded Xue Yu.

At about ten at night, Li Qiang, who was a bit tipsy, returned to his home in the Qingya District. He then opened his bedroom door and saw his wife, Luo Yu, leaning on the bedside lamp while standing in a daze, lost in thought. He let out a faint smile and reached out to untie his tie, saying, “It’s so late now, why haven’t you rested yet?”
Luo Yu came back to her senses and softly said, “I couldn’t sleep since you hadn’t come back yet.”
Li Qiang wanted to sit down on the bedside as he suddenly realized that he was reeking of liquor. Then he said immediately, “Well, I just had a drink with a client tonight and kinda reek of alcohol. I’ll take a shower first and come back soon.”
“Okay!” nodded Luo Yu slightly, watching her husband enter the bathroom in the back. There was, however, a distressed and dear love on her face as she did so. She knew that she had been dragging her husband down all these years. Sometimes, thoughts of suicide came to her, but oftentimes when she was about to do so, she could only hesitate. It was not because she was afraid of death, but rather because she didn’t want to leave her beloved husband alone in this world.
“Oh…” Luo Yu sighed gloomily and looked up at the ceiling, trying to prevent her tears that were about to burst.
Shortly after, Li Qiang was done with his shower. After he put on his pajamas and was about to get into bed, he gently hugged Luo Yu and said, “I’ll probably be very busy in the next two days. But as long as I succeed, I won’t only make enough money for your surgery, but we’ll also have some left for the post-surgery care. If you feel bored, I’ll call my younger sister to come back to accompany you.”
“No. Don’t disturb Xinjie,” said Luo Yu hurriedly. “She just finished her freshman year, and she wants to find a part-time job during her summer vacation in Shanghai. Just let her temper and train herself without disturbance. Besides, the living expenses she has been receiving from you have been kinda not enough, all due to you needing to pay my medical expenses. I really don’t want to drag her down again and again.”
“You see, Xinjie’s reason for staying and working in Shanghai is mainly to earn more money and save the tuition fee for the sophomore year I gave her,” said Li Qiang with a smile. “But I just told you that I can make quite a fortune in the next few days, didn’t I? We’ll solve the problem at hand in the next two weeks, so there’s no need for her to work and earn money outside. She just needs to come back to keep you company and taking care of you.”
“Is it the sales order you mentioned to me that you’re currently negotiating?” asked Luo Yu curiously.
“Yeah.” Li Qiang nodded and said, “I haven’t only negotiated it, but I’ll also shock many people after I disclose what has happened to me these past two days. Well, let’s drop it now, shall we? I won’t tell you the details for now. Shortly put, you just have to trust me that we can have a good life soon.”
“I believe you,” said Luo Yu with a smile.
Following that, the couple chatted for a while. Just as they were preparing to rest, the doorbell suddenly rang. Li Qiang, who was drowsy, frowned and said, “Who could it be at this hour?”
“Just go and have look!” said Luo Yu softly.
A short while after, Li Qiang opened the door and saw that it was Tang Xiu and Xue Yu outside. Disbelief covered his face and he asked in astonishment, “Brother Tang, Big Sis-in-law, why are you here?”
Tang Xiu forged ahead into the door and said with a faint smile, “Are we disturbing you and your family’s rest by coming this late?”
