Without realizing it, a week had flown by!

During this time, Jiangnan City underwent earthshaking changes!

Yu Chi, a professional manager of Tianzhao Group, along with several shareholders who defected from the Fang Group, were all implicated in commercial crimes and clanged into prison!

The business of Tianzhao Group and Zhou Group plummeted, while their industries were crazily annexed by Fang Group and Li Group!

Beyond that, a company called Blood-colored Maple Leaf quietly rose to prominence. This company was not only continuously absorbing assets from Fang Group and Li Group but also expanding aggressively!

Many of Jiangnan City's elites were fully aware that Blood-colored Maple Leaf was established by Fang Qingxue and Li Xian, and that Blood-colored Maple Leaf itself was a conglomerate of Fang Group and Li Group!

In the near future, when the two groups merged together, Blood-colored Maple Leaf would become a colossal entity in Jiangnan City, an absolute dominant financial tycoon!

Meanwhile, within Jiangnan's underground forces, Fierce Tiger Gang was thoroughly crippled, the father-daughter duo of Green Gang's Nangong fled overseas, and Red Saber Society was completely crushed!

An organization named Blood-colored Maple Leaf also rose to power, frenziedly swallowing the underground industries of the three major gangs of Jiangnan!

The current situation in Jiangnan City was very clear—Blood-colored Maple Leaf had gradually become the master of Jiangnan City!

...

The morning sunlight spilled generously, streaming through the glass windows into the room!

"Feng, it feels really good to be with you..."

Xu Ningxue lay in Ye Feng's arms, basking in that touch of warmth.

Ye Feng tenderly stroked her drenched hair, then kissed her forehead:

"You must be exhausted from these past few days, aren't you?"

Xu Ningxue was no longer the timid little sales clerk of before. Now, under Li Xian's careful guidance, she had become a CEO's assistant, Li Xian's right hand!

Moreover, Xu Ningxue was intelligent and hardworking. Her business capability had increased incredibly fast. As Li Xian said, she could now easily manage a company on her own!

Ye Feng knew that Xu Ningxue was working so hard because of him. She wanted to help him, to share his burdens, and the more she did so, the more Ye Feng felt immense tenderness for this gentle and frail girl!

"Not tired!"

Xu Ningxue displayed a bright smile at that moment, her pretty face becoming even more mesmerizing, as if her smile could captivate one's heart:

"Xian sister is really good to me, she has taught me so much! I have learned courage, independence, and strength from her! Now that Blood-colored Maple Leaf has just been established, Xian sister and Qingxue are incredibly busy. I am very happy to be struggling alongside them!"

Saying that, Xu Ningxue kissed Ye Feng's face:

"Feng, do you really have to go back to Jiangcheng County? Xian sister is too busy lately; I'm afraid we won't have time to accompany you!"

Listening to Xu Ningxue's words, Ye Feng smiled:

"You guys should first focus on developing Blood-colored Maple Leaf, as that will be our foundation in the future! I will go back to Jiangcheng County to pay respects to the old man, and then I will travel abroad to search for the Qianmo Flower for Yuehua."

In recent days, although Shu Yuehua's condition had greatly improved, and she had regained consciousness, she was still unable to awaken. The search for the Qianmo Flower was urgent!

After so many events, the possibility of Ye Feng continuing to live the life of a peaceful student was gone!

He had to protect his loved ones now and had to develop his Blood-colored Maple Leaf!

Before that, he wanted to make a pilgrimage to the small mountain to pay his respects to Li Qingshan!

After the two had gotten up, they had a light meal, and Xu Ningxue hurried off to the Blood-colored Maple Leaf.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng went to the hospital to help Shu Yuehua with her body conditioning, and after also nurturing Chouchou's health for a while, he hurriedly rushed to the train station!

This time he did not bring anyone along, traveling light with the hope of a quick round trip.

Jiangcheng County is located in the Western Mountain Area and is one of the poorest small counties!

Driving there is the least wise choice, not just because it is time-consuming, but also because it involves a lot of dangerous mountain roads with many cliffs.

Only by taking the train could one reach there fastest!

The train station was bustling with people, workers, salesmen, white-collar workers visiting relatives, and even many bosses personally negotiating cooperation, almost all of whom took the train to the Western Mountain Area.

But when Ye Feng approached the ticket window to buy a train ticket, he discovered that the tickets to Jiangcheng County were already sold out!

Ye Feng was a bit stunned, and after further questioning the ticket seller, he confirmed that there were no more trains to Jiangcheng today!

Having no other choice, Ye Feng was about to head back and drive to Jiangcheng County!

However, just as he was about to leave the ticket window, a man dressed in a train police uniform suddenly grabbed his arm!

"Eh? Aren't you that young man?"

The officer looked to be in his thirties, exceptionally alert, and at the moment, his eyes were filled with wild joy as he looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was taken aback, but then he remembered: this man was Officer Yang from the train to Jiangnan!

That time, they had worked together to catch two thieves, retrieving the money stolen for Yangyang's grandparents' medical treatment.

"Officer Yang, it's you! Are you about to go on duty?"

Ye Feng smiled; he had a good impression of Officer Yang.

"So you do remember me, little brother!"

Officer Yang was apparently thrilled that Ye Feng remembered him and said:

"I am on duty for a train today, what about you? Where are you planning to go?"

Officer Yang had an even better impression of Ye Feng, who had not only helped him catch the knife-wielding thieves on the train but had also saved his life from one of the thieves' knives.

Busy with transporting the thieves, he hadn't had the chance to exchange contact information with Ye Feng, but he was extremely grateful to him.

"I was planning to go back to Jiangcheng County, but there are no more tickets!" Ye Feng shrugged helplessly; if he had known earlier, he would have driven straight to Jiangcheng County.

Upon hearing this, Officer Yang was slightly taken aback: "What? You're also from Jiangcheng County?"

Officer Yang's voice was full of surprise, especially after seeing Ye Feng nod, he was overjoyed:

"What a coincidence, I am also from Jiangcheng County, and the train I am on duty for is heading there!"

After finishing his words, Officer Yang thought for a moment, then walked straight to the ticket window and said:

"Give me a ticket for room 8 in the VIP carriage!"
