Chapter 464: Chapter 455: For the Sake of Immortality

As soon as Changning sat down, Shen Chuyue grabbed the hand she had accidentally injured.

Seeing the darkened marks still prominently visible, "Changning, your hand..."

"It’s nothing, just needs some healing."

But with Shen Chuyue grabbing the hand like that, Huzi, who had just been called over by a phone call from Jiang Lingxi, saw it too.

His action of getting up to pour water paused.

Jiang Lingxi observed Huzi’s reaction.

Initially, she thought this Huzi was just Shen Yunqing’s driver and bodyguard, but sent here together with Changning, she suspected he was more than just a driver.

Now seeing Changning’s injury and Huzi’s reaction... It’s likely even if he’s not a Mage, he’s quite knowledgeable about them.

"Let’s eat first."

Huzi finished pouring the water and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

After eating, they all returned to the upstairs room, and Huzi quietly followed them up.

While Lu Zhengzheng was busy packing in the bedroom, Jiang Lingxi took out a USB drive she had been carrying, and Changning briefly explained its origin.

Seeing Huzi frown at the emblem engraved on the USB drive, Jiang Lingxi asked the question she hadn’t had the chance to ask, "Do you all recognize this emblem?"

The two being questioned nodded simultaneously, as the only person present was their master’s wife, there was no need for any concealment.

Changning was the first to speak, "This emblem is the mark of the Changcang Sect. All Mages in the Changcang Sect share a common goal, immortality." At this, a clear look of disgust appeared on her face, "Immortality is fundamentally illusory, those who seek it are merely daydreaming. But the people of the Changcang Sect are clearly obsessed, employing all forbidden methods for immortality, they’ve no idea how many innocent commoners have died in the process."

So it was all for immortality.

Jiang Lingxi could understand, after all, from ancient times to now, many a king or noble has sought immortality.

But if seeking immortality drags common people into it, that’s not seeking immortality, but committing sins.

Huzi continued where Changning left off, "Whatever the people of Changcang Sect do has a purpose. They wouldn’t waste time on things irrelevant to immortality research. Since the Changcang Sect people showed up in the desert and even on the brink of death tried to pass this USB drive on, then there must be some important information in it, and they specifically guarded against other Mages."

Changning touched the mark on her hand, nodding lightly.

She really was injured after all.

Jiang Lingxi turned the USB drive in her hand, glancing at the laptop Lu Zhengzheng just placed on the desk for work, resisting the urge to plug it in and see, "At this time, your master should have finished lunch too, call and tell him, after the call, we’ll head back to the film crew."

Huzi complied, taking out his phone and dialing.

Meanwhile, in the rear courtyard of Zhang Nachuan’s private calligraphy and painting museum in the Imperial City...

Zhang Nachuan was flipping through some documents he’d been looking at for a while, his hand’s back and forehead veins bulging, his face flushed a dark red, looking like he could bleed at any mishap.

The atmosphere in the living room was really tense. Shen Yunqing sat in a guest chair nearby, glancing at the figure outside the door hesitating to enter, as he poured himself a cup of tea.

After half a cup, he finally heard the sound of the documents being closed.

He set down the teacup and looked over, "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Nachuan raised his hand, pressing hard on his temples, then pinched the center of his brows, suppressing a wave of dizziness, and croaked, "The family’s misfortunate!"

Finally, he understood why the young man before him chose to visit in the afternoon.

If he had come in the morning, how could he have even had lunch after reading these documents!

"Zhang Anfeng has been using your reputation, Mr. Zhang, after discovering all this, I hesitated for a long time but decided to visit and inform you. His actions do result in amassing vast wealth rapidly, but it is done at the expense of tarnishing your reputation, the longer this continues, the more greed will grow."

Zhang Nachuan nodded darkly, the documentation’s thoroughness left him with no way to deceive himself into believing it was false.

He could also speculate why Shen Yunqing was investigating Zhang Anfeng, last time, An’an nearly got into trouble, dealing with Lingxuan was just the beginning.

Now, after getting divorced, Lingxuan didn’t live alone but returned home, even called him days ago to cry about knowing she was wrong, he heartlessly hung up, but that’s all he could do.

Was he really supposed to go to his elder son’s home and drive such a granddaughter out?

But Shen Yunqing and Jiang Lingxi have no feelings for Zhang Lingxuan, his elder son’s family dealing superficially without thoroughness, it’s understandable they’d be angry.

Investigating his elder son’s company, Shen Yunqing, or rather the Shen Family, indeed has such capabilities.

But if you honestly run the business that’s one thing, an investigation would reveal nothing too unusual. Yet what’s laid before him, what kind of crooked ways are these!

If Zhang Anfeng were standing before him now, he’d want to kick him into the sky!

"Mr. Shen, rest assured, I must thank you for specifically coming to inform me of this. Otherwise, I’d never have known of these disgraceful acts hiding behind my back. Now that I know, even if Zhang Anfeng is my own son, I absolutely won’t condone this!"

Shen Yunqing looked at Zhang Nachuan’s deteriorating complexion, evidently infuriated.

After a moment’s hesitation, he handed over a prepared item.

"What is this..."

"Quick Heart-saving Pill, aside from these documents, I also uncovered something else."

Zhang Nachuan: "..."

He reached out, facial muscles twitching slightly, "Does it have to do with that disgrace of a son of mine again?"

Shen Yunqing nodded.

Zhang Nachuan ultimately unscrewed the cap, popping two pills directly into his mouth, holding them under his tongue, "Go ahead, I can take it."

"While investigating Zhang Anfeng’s company, my people discovered that someone bore him a son, just turned three, and apparently, Mrs. Zhang is aware of it too."

"Gulp!"

Zhang Nachuan swallowed the two Quick Heart-saving Pills dry.

After speaking, Shen Yunqing sipped a cup of tea, giving Mr. Zhang before him a moment to calm down.

Just after a sip, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Once Zhang Nachuan managed to barely calm down from his fury with the help of the Quick Heart-saving Pills, removing his hand from his heart, he looked up to see Shen Yunqing, returning from the call, devoid of his previous calmness.

"I must take my leave, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Nachuan was taken aback, instinctively leaning on the table to stand, "I understand your intentions, Mr. Shen. Since there’s something urgent, you should go deal with it."

"There’s no need for you to see me out, Mr. Zhang."

Yet, Zhang Nachuan still saw him to the museum entrance, watching Shen Yunqing’s car depart, then pressing a hand to his chest and suppressing a strained hiss.

Zhang Ye was startled, quickly extending a hand for support.

Zhang Nachuan waved him off, taking a deep breath, "No need to support me, go call Zhang Anfeng, tell him to immediately, right now, get over here!"
