Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Explosion! His White Moonlight is Jiang Man

On the tram, Jiang Man took out her phone to watch videos.

# Royal Road HTG’s decline, may completely disappear from the esports scene.

As she read the comments, her brows furrowed even deeper.

Netizen 1: Royal Road peaked in its first battle, winning the LOL Global Finals five years ago, and then just wilted?

Netizen 2: I told you it was luck, besides Nan Mu, who can actually play?

Netizen 3: Nan Mu retired early. After he left, what storm can those good-for-nothings of Royal Road cause?

Netizen 4: Don’t talk like that. Royal Road was the first to bring glory to our country by winning the championship in a global competition. Even if they are declining now, they are still heroes!

Netizen 5: What do you know? It was the first, yes, but what about the S9, S11 seasons? Royal Road lost to teams from their own country, playing terribly all around.

...

"Manman."

Jiang Man was seriously reading the comments when she was suddenly startled by a gentle voice next to her ear.

Only then did she lift her eyes from the phone screen and turned to look at the man beside her.

"Your heart... is it healed? Han Shuo, a friend of mine, his father has a bad heart, knows quite a few top cardiac surgeons worldwide."

"Did you forget I’m a doctor myself?" Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, curving into a pure smile.

"Doctors can’t heal themselves..."

"Don’t worry, my master cured me, and now I’m so healthy, I can take on five by myself without breaking a sweat."

"So it seems I did make it worse stopping you from thrashing those punks earlier?"

Puff. Jiang Man’s calm face couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Great minds think alike, I also thought those guys were punks. If you hadn’t pulled me back, I definitely would have beaten them till they scattered around like teeth, learning to bark like dogs!"

"Yeah, I believe you." Nan Juefeng’s gaze intensely watched her lips move, feeling genuinely pleased.

Right then, the sunlight was just right, and the autumn breeze, perhaps because of her smile, felt not so cold anymore.

His depressive mood vanished just by seeing her smile.

Naturally, Nan Juefeng was infected by her, laughing along with her.

He knew his illness was serious, Jiang Man was his medicine, but tragically, this medicine was something he could hardly attain.

"Actually, I can fight too." Nan Juefeng spoke in a chipper tone.

Jiang Man looked at him in surprise, sizing him up: "Are you sure?"

"Doesn’t look like it? We should have a friendly match when there’s a chance."

"Sure."

Once their conversation started, it was impossible to stop.

The two chatted like old friends, with no distractions in their hearts.

The awkwardness between them had also dissipated with this chat.

The tram gradually moved away, carrying their laughter off into the distance.

Jiang Man stood rigidly in place, and although she couldn’t make out what the two were saying, she clearly heard the laughter.

The two of them seemed to be enjoying their conversation, could Nan Juefeng actually laugh so heartily?

Soon, a new tram arrived.

Jiang Man boarded it alone, not waiting for Wu Yingfan, and left by herself.

All along the way, she followed Nan Juefeng and Jiang Man like a stalker.

Seeing that they had returned to the banquet hall, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her gaze left Jiang Man and wandered around the crowd, until she finally located the unremarkable Wen Jingya.

Wen Jingya sat in a corner, drinking juice, with a sullen face that clearly read ’I am not happy.’

When Jiang Man approached her and stood before her, Wen Jingya’s emotions finally couldn’t be held back any longer and burst forth.

"Ms. Lu the Second, you sure have the limelight! I never thought you were such a mean, sinister, and cunning person!"

Jiang Man knew what made her angry.

Being foster daughters, they were essentially in a competitive relationship.

More importantly, she was the grandmother’s lifesaver, which was a chip that could ensure her a lifetime of wealth and comfort.

Wen Jingya, this former foster daughter, seemed absolutely ordinary in comparison, lacking any competitive edge.

"I didn’t come to argue with you. I wanted to ask, didn’t you say before that you knew a way to find out who Nan Juefeng’s ’White Moonlight’ is? Can you do me this favor and find out for me?"

"Psh! Do you still need me to find out? You, the grand Second Miss, have everyone at your beck and call; what can’t you inquire about?" Wen Jingya continued to throw a tantrum, her tone nasty.

Jiang Man, handling her patience, deliberately took a cup of fruit juice, handed it to her with both hands, and offered: "I have inquired, but they are also unclear. Help me out, consider it as owing you a favor, and I will definitely repay it whenever you need."

"You already have no credibility with me," Wen Jingya shot back with a glance, still unappeasable and unswayed by the gesture.

Jiang Man, neither frustrated nor angry, bowed her head and fiddled with her phone.

Ding—

A text message alert suddenly sounded from Wen Jingya’s phone.

She checked the alert, and to her surprise, it was a recording sent by Jiang Man???

"I have recorded my promise just now. You have the evidence in your hand now. Are you still afraid I’ll renege?" Jiang Man spoke in a gentle tone, her eyes gleaming, a smile playing at her lips.

Wen Jingya froze, took a good while to shake her head.

This Jiang Man is truly full of tricks!

"Fine, with evidence, what do I have to fear?" Wen Jingya finally dropped her hostility and dialed Jiang Man.

Jiang Man, looking at the caller ID, blinked suspiciously.

"Answer it. I’m giving you a live broadcast!"

"Okay."

As soon as Jiang Man answered the phone, Wen Jingya abruptly stood up and strode with purpose toward a young man dressed in a tailcoat.

"Brother Song, may I have a word in private?"

Wen Jingya winked at the man.

Brother Song’s heart skipped a beat, instantly elated: "Where shall we talk?"

"The restroom... How about that?"

"Miss Wen, I didn’t expect you to be such a player..."

Jiang Man watched as the two left the banquet hall one after the other.

The phone now had no voices, just the sound of footsteps tapping on the floor.

Suddenly, a ’squeak’ sounded, followed by a noise as if a door was being slammed?

In the gender-neutral restroom, Wen Jingya pushed Brother Song inside, then promptly shut the door and locked it.

Brother Song was thrilled, tugging at his tie: "Miss Wen, you’ve always been cold to me before. What’s the occasion today?"

"I have a question for you," Wen Jingya crossed her arms, looking up at the man in front of her.

Brother Song’s smile instantly stiffened: "Turns out you have an issue to address?"

"200,000 to ask you one question," Wen Jingya got straight to the point: "If you agree, I can transfer the money right now via mobile."

"I’m famously well–informed in the wealthy circles, and just one piece of information for 200,000?" Brother Song began to bargain.

Knowing his greed and lecherous nature, Wen Jingya warned, "Don’t think I don’t know about the secret deals you have with certain mistresses..."

She provoked him just enough, her eyes challenging.

Brother Song was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Want to know? Give me 500,000. I’ll tell you!"

"Oh, ancestor, my dear lady, I made a mistake. Ask whatever you want, I don’t need the 200,000 anymore, just please keep my secret, I’m begging you."

"Sure thing." Wen Jingya smirked, pleased with herself.

Although it took some effort, she didn’t spend a dime to extract information from this greedy well–informed source.

Jiang Man is cunning, but she’s just as capable!

"I ask you, who is Nan Juefeng’s ’White Moonlight’?"

"Ah?" Brother Song involuntarily exclaimed in surprise.

"What ’ah’? Spit it out fast!"

"This... this... Secretary Shen said this matter is confidential, nobody can talk about it. If the news came from me, Mr. Nan would cut out my tongue!"

"Stop whining! Do I seem like the blabbermouth to you? You don’t have to say it, but I could leak your scandal with that person!"

"No, dear lady, dear lady, between life and tongue, I’d obviously choose my life. I’ll speak, isn’t that enough? Mr. Nan’s ’White Moonlight’ is someone named Jiang Man, your sister-in-law!"
