Qin Chuan walked in gracefully, and as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Banxia lying on the bed with her upper body exposed, her buttocks half-bare.

This time, unlike last time, her undergarment straps were black with lace, and her underwear matched.

It had lost some of its playful charm, but gained a bit of sexiness.

Obviously, she had dressed like this on purpose, and she might have even bought it specifically for this.

Qin Chuan didn't think much of it, took out his silver needles, and prepared to start her treatment.

As he placed the needles, he asked, "Miss Jiang, do you happen to know any city leaders?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Banxia said softly.

"I'd like to find out about a leader with the surname Sun." Qin Chuan said directly.

When it involves high-level matters, it has to be addressed by someone at a high level to be resolved properly.

Qin Chuan clearly didn't have that capability at present.

And Jiang Banxia was the only high-level person he had encountered who might help him.

Of course, it was a matter of mutual consent. If Jiang Banxia was unwilling to help, or even if she didn't have the capability, he wouldn't force it.

"Surname Sun? Doesn't ring a bell."

Jiang Banxia pondered for a moment, then turned to glance at Li Qinyi: "Qinyi, do you know?"

"A leader named Sun..."

Li Qinyi also pondered for a moment, then said, "The one in charge of construction bidding in the city, Sun Zhaohai?"

Hearing the name Sun Zhaohai, Qin Chuan was a little confused.

He really didn't know what Sun Feng's father's name was.

"The only notable person with the surname Sun in the city is him." Li Qinyi added.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded. If that's the case, then Sun Feng's father is likely this person.

"Mr. Qin, do you need to see him?" Li Qinyi inquired.

Qin Chuan shook his head and said awkwardly, "It's not that I need to see him; it's more like he might want to see me."

"Oh?"

Li Qinyi was slightly taken aback and guessed, "Did you offend him?"

Qin Chuan did not deny it: "I beat up his son a few days ago."

Hearing this, Li Qinyi's eyes twitched a few times: "This Sun Zhaohai is known for holding grudges; you better be careful."

"Hmm."

Qin Chuan nodded, his eyes flickering: "I wonder if I could ask Miss Jiang to help resolve this matter?"

"Hearing your tone, if I don't help you resolve it, you won't treat me?"

Jiang Banxia glanced back at him: "Trying to threaten me?"

"No, no, no..."

Qin Chuan quickly denied it: "One thing is one thing; I've agreed to the conditions for treating you and will certainly do my best. As for Sun Zhaohai's matter, you can ask for another condition, provided it's something I can do."

"Fair enough."

Jiang Banxia nodded, then casually instructed Li Qinyi: "When you have time, just send a word to the city, saying Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest of mine."

"Understood."

Li Qinyi responded seriously.

"What does Miss Jiang need me to do?" Qin Chuan inquired.

"Haven't decided yet; let's leave it pending for now." Jiang Banxia closed her eyes, not speaking further.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan also said no more and focused on treating Jiang Banxia.

Soon, after half an hour of treatment, Qin Chuan sat in the Jiang family's living room, practicing the Nine Dragon Creation Skill to restore his depleted Spiritual Power.

He still needed to refine the Yang Gathering Pill later, so he had to hurry and recover.

Not long after, Jiang Banxia reappeared in front of him, wearing a dark blue silk nightgown.

There was a joyful smile at her lips, tracing a line of happiness on her face.

Her makeup wasn't as heavy as usual; she had unexpectedly put on light makeup.

Faintly, there was a red scar on her left cheek that looked like a knife scar.

But the scar had faded a lot; if you didn't look closely, it was hard to notice.

Seeing Qin Chuan, the smile on Jiang Banxia's face diminished a bit, but she was truly happy inside.

"Qinyi, bring the Dragon Blood Resin that was sent over last time and give it to Mr. Qin." Jiang Banxia said.

Li Qinyi's eye twitched a few times.

That Dragon Blood Resin was a precious imported herb, specially sourced by Jiang Banxia from a thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Tree abroad. It's expensive and rare.

Li Qinyi obviously hadn't expected Jiang Banxia would give such a precious herb to Qin Chuan.

And Qin Chuan was a bit embarrassed.

He had just asked for a favor, and now he was receiving something in return, which made him feel uneasy.

Initially, he thought it was just a simple herb.

After all, Dragon Blood Resin wasn't something rare; you could buy a piece for a few dozen bucks at a pharmacy.

But when Li Qinyi brought out the Dragon Blood Resin, his heart trembled a bit.

This fist-sized piece of Dragon Blood Resin was blood-red like ink, resembling dried blood, exuding a sense of antiquity and mystery.

Compared to ordinary Dragon Blood Resin, this one was clearly deeper in color.

Moreover, the piece contained vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, which was astonishing.

With Qin Chuan's eyesight, he could even see the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy swirling around it, persisting endlessly.

"The Dragon Blood Tree that produced this Dragon Blood Resin must be at least a thousand years old." Qin Chuan was astounded.

"Mr. Qin is indeed an expert."

Jiang Banxia smiled: "I specifically had it brought back from abroad. This thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Tree can only produce a pound of Dragon Blood Resin every ten years, and this is exactly a pound."

Containing the essence of a thousand-year-old tree for ten years, no wonder the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy is so dense.

This piece of Dragon Blood Resin was valuable enough for Qin Chuan, comparable to a maiden with a famed treasure.

Qin Chuan's eyes were fervent, but he eventually returned the Dragon Blood Resin: "I can't accept this without earning it; it wouldn't be right."

"Oh?"

Jiang Banxia was slightly surprised.

She had clearly sensed Qin Chuan's fervor, yet he could suppress his inner greed, which was indeed surprising.

It seemed that conventional methods couldn't ensnare this man.

Thinking of this, Jiang Banxia suddenly looked at her private secretary, Li Qinyi.

Baby-faced Li Qinyi, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked bewildered, clearly having no idea what Jiang Banxia was planning.

"But..."

Just as Jiang Banxia was looking at Li Qinyi, Qin Chuan suddenly changed his tone: "I really do need this Dragon Blood Resin, so how about this? I'll agree to one of your conditions, and you give me the Dragon Blood Resin?"

Before Jiang Banxia could speak, Li Qinyi retorted unhappily: "You're a bit too greedy; what's the difference between this and getting something for nothing?"

Qin Chuan's face turned red: "That's not true. If I promise something and don't deliver, then that's getting something for nothing. I, Qin Chuan, mean every word I say. If it's something I can do, I won't even frown."

"Anyone can say empty words. Besides, what do you think you can do that our Phantom Group can't?" Li Qinyi sneered.

To think she had just thought Qin Chuan was an upright person.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan suddenly turned the tables and engaged in getting something for nothing.

Li Qinyi's favorable impression of Qin Chuan vanished.

Qin Chuan smacked his lips, annoyed as he glanced at this busty young lady, then looked at Jiang Banxia: "If Miss Jiang doesn't believe me, I can put it in writing."

Jiang Banxia chuckled: "The Dragon Blood Resin was meant as a gift for Mr. Qin. If I can also get a promise from Mr. Qin, it seems I'm getting the better end of the deal. Very well, since Mr. Qin insists, we'll go with what Mr. Qin said. As for the writing, let's skip it; I trust Mr. Qin's character."

Li Qinyi widened her eyes, astonished: "Miss???"
