"Master, it has been two hours already," said Tanaka Shoichi's subordinate nervously as he paced back and forth in the room, "do you think that Bai Xuening can really succeed? Could she have been counteracted by Hu Xiaobei?"

Before, he hadn't been worried about this issue...

But now, as time passed bit by bit, he began to worry.

Because normally, Bai Xuening should have returned by now...

...

Tanaka Shoichi, who was smoking a cigar, heard the absolutely nervous inquiry from his subordinate and glanced at him...

Quickly, a faint, shallow smile appeared at the corners of his mouth...

Afterwards, Tanaka Shoichi confidently said, "Don't worry! There should be no problem! Bai Xuening is skilled at poisoning and can kill a person imperceptibly. So even Hu Xiaobei is easily susceptible."

"Is she... is she really that formidable?"

Feeling his subordinate's disbelief, he put down his cigar and said, "Yes! Let me put it this way, if she intended to kill you, she wouldn't need to be very serious to easily poison and kill you."

"Is... is that true?"

As he asked nervously, clenching his fists...

Feeling his nervousness, Tanaka Shoichi nodded and reminded him, "It is true! So in the future, try as much as possible not to provoke her, understand?"

"Yes! I understand."

Having promised, he looked outside again.

Quickly, he just plunked down onto the floor...

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Glancing at Tanaka Shoichi, he said nervously, "She... she's back! She's back!"

"Oh? She's back? Is she alone?"

"Yes!"

"Then I understand, you go out for now!"

"Okay!"

Already frightened to the point of weak knees, he hurriedly left the room in a fluster...

After his subordinate left in disarray, Tanaka Shoichi gently tapped the table.

Soon, he took a deep drag of his cigarette and murmured softly, "I hope that in a moment, I will hear some good news from her mouth!"

Thinking this, he saw the door being pushed open directly by her.

Glancing at Bai Xuening, Tanaka Shoichi squinted his eyes and asked, "How did it go? Was it a triumph?"

"Nonsense, with me personally taking action, could it not succeed?"

Hearing Tanaka Shoichi's direct question, Bai Xuening responded expressionlessly.

While Bai Xuening was responding, Hu Xiaobei appeared in the hallway like a ghost.

After glancing around, Hu Xiaobei quickly darted into the adjacent room...

Before, Hu Xiaobei had been quietly following Bai Xuening...

Thus, only now did Hu Xiaobei have the chance to come here...

After entering the adjacent room, Hu Xiaobei locked the door behind him...

Having done all this, Hu Xiaobei moved close to the wall and quietly listened with an ear against it...

Here, separated by a load-bearing wall from the next room, but this had no effect on the cultivated Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei could clearly hear the voice of Bai Xuening next door...

...

In the next room, Tanaka Shoichi looked at Bai Xuening and asked, "Since you succeeded, what about Hu Xiaobei?"

"Him? He's now permanently resting underground! Alright, I've completed the task you gave me! Now, you should show me that thousand-year-old Yao Ling ginseng!"

"Resting underground? You're not deceiving me?"

"Why would I deceive you?"

"That makes sense! Alright, I'll have someone prepare it, and soon, that priceless thousand-year-old ginseng will be brought up!"

Tanaka Shoichi was explaining as he picked up the phone…

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Tanaka Shoichi put down the phone and looked at Bai Xuening with some urgency, "Soon, my men will bring over that thousand-year-old ginseng. Before that, should we discuss some details about our cooperation?"

"What details?"

"Of course, all kinds of details about our two families merging into one! Surely you haven't forgotten the conditions you agreed to earlier?"

"Well, of course I haven't forgotten! But as I said before, everything has to wait until my daughter wakes up! Since she hasn't woken up yet, I won't discuss much with you."

"If you insist, then fine."

As Tanaka Shoichi spoke, footsteps were heard…

…

In the next room, Hu Xiaobei heard the increasingly close footsteps and smiled softly.

Soon, he moved to the window like a gecko, silently…

He glanced at the large French window and quickly climbed onto the wall like a phantom…

The next second, Hu Xiaobei quietly moved to the outside of the adjacent room and looked inside unhurriedly…

Knowing this spot was quite hidden, Hu Xiaobei wasn't worried about being discovered by Tanaka Shoichi…

As he looked inside, he saw a young man wearing a fawning expression carefully carrying a wooden tray.

"This person looks familiar!"

The moment he saw him, Hu Xiaobei felt a sense of familiarity…

Soon, Hu Xiaobei remembered that he had previously seen him near Haruno Rei's inn…

"Earlier, I felt like someone was secretly surveilling me, it must have been this person!"

Realizing this, Hu Xiaobei didn't dwell on it and instead focused on the heavy wooden tray in his hands…

"It's golden phoebe wood!"

After a careful look, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes in surprise…

…

"This is the invaluable thousand-year-old ginseng! Not to boast, but this is the only one in Japan, and giving it to you really pains my heart!"

Explaining this to Bai Xuening, Tanaka Shoichi walked over nonchalantly.

Soon, he directly lifted the red silk ribbon covering the wooden tray…

As he did so, a strong aromatic fragrance completely spread out…

Inhaling the rich medicinal aroma, Bai Xuening felt much better.

She quickly looked forward.

At that moment, she saw a ginseng with long roots lying quietly on the tray!

"Looking at this ginseng, it seems very old, could it really be the thousand-year-old ginseng?"

The moment this thought occurred, she subconsciously looked outside the window…

She didn't see anyone there.

"Could it be… could it be that Xiaobei didn't follow?"

Thinking this, she heard Tanaka Shoichi's warm inquiry, "How is it? Now, my sincerity is quite clear, isn't it? Can we now discuss the merger of our two families?"

As Tanaka Shoichi spoke warmly, he gazed at Bai Xuening with intense greed!

He knew Bai Xuening was an extremely beautiful woman, and he had wanted her since earlier!

But previously, there was no chance…

Now, the opportunity had come, and he naturally revealed his absolutely sharp fangs...

"This rubbish thing, also wants to save someone? This really is delusional!"

As he madly imagined this, Tanaka Shoichi heard a chillingly sarcastic voice.

"F*ck! Who is talking?"

Fuming with anger, he quickly raised his head, and his face turned extremely unsightly…

"Is it you? How are you here?"

As he asked this, Tanaka Shoichi's face was full of malevolence…

The reason for this was that he saw not just anyone, but the deeply detested Hu Xiaobei…
