Chapter 277: Chapter 276: Tonify Kidney Yang, Nourish Essence and Blood
Xu Fengâs retreat was completely blocked, which unintentionally made Su Qing very happy.
Actually, if he didnât need to leverage Wang Shanshanâs family background, he wouldnât have to reveal to Xu Feng that he already knew there were problems within his company. He could just wait for the bomb to explode.
But after all, many hands make light work, and thereâs no reason not to use Wang Shanshanâs influence when itâs available. He couldnât believe Wang Shanshanâs father, Wang Zheng, would remain indifferent to his daughter being cheated out of millions and a property.
A business owner with a large network would naturally have powerful connections, and he was sure it would lead to unexpected results. He didnât mind helping Xu Feng to fail faster.
As for the landlady, it had already been two days; she should have found out something by now. It wouldnât be long before it all blew up, and by then, Xu Feng would be in a dead end, with bankruptcy being the best outcome.
So when he went home, he was in an exceptionally good mood.
However, when he opened the door and got home, the living room was unusually lively with Shen Yi and the landlady both there. The little girl, Wen Yun, was in front of the big dogâs doghouse, tugging at its tail, trying to drag it out.
But she was too small and couldnât manage it, eventually falling on her butt and almost crying, with big teardrops swirling in her eyes.
Fortunately, the dog, seeing this, stuck out its head, which made the little girl smile through her tears.
Now, the landlady was very comfortable with the little girl playing with the dog, even welcoming the dog to her house. After all, that meant she didnât have to play with the child, and it was very convenientâ the dog babysitter only needed three meals a day, which was quite economical.
"Little Su, youâre back?"
"Hmph, you still know to come back!"
"Hello Su Dad!"
The two women and one child in the room greeted him in unison as he walked in, making the atmosphere very congenial.

This scene was rare in the cityâs apartment buildings. Even Wen Nanqing felt life had become much more interesting since he and Shen Yi moved in. After all, it was nice to have somewhere to hang out every now and then.
Hearing this, Su Qing didnât bother with Aunt Shenâs cold huff and replied to the landlady, "Sister Wen, youâre here. Just finished my work!"
With that, he changed his shoes and walked straight to the doghouse, rubbing the little girlâs head gently and asking, "Little Yun, have you eaten?"
"Yes, Iâm full." As she said this, the little girl patted her tummy, then pointed at the dog curled up in the doghouse and complained, "The dog wonât come out to play with me!"
Hearing this, Su Qing nudged the dog with his foot: "Hey, thatâs enough. Someone wants to play with you, and youâre just lying there? Come out now!"
The dog: "Woof woof!" [You really treat me like a beast of burden, donât you? Are you a human? Iâm not going out, Iâm tired and resting!]
"Thatâs fine, tomorrow Iâll send you to the police station to find Er Lu and his friends, and youâll be doing five kilometers a day!"
Hearing this, the dog immediately perked up and quickly crawled out of the doghouse, sitting in front of the little girl and barking twice: "Woof woof" [Youâre the real dog here!]
Having such a cunning owner, the dog was quite stressed, and now it longed for the carefree days back home.
The dog felt uneasy, but the little girl was happy, clapping her hands as she hugged the dogâs neck wanting to give it a kiss.
Watching the mutual understanding between the girl and the dog, both the landlady and Shen Yi were curious about how Su Qing managed it.
Although they knew the dog was very intelligent, able to understand even their simple instructions, Su Qing gave them the impression that he could actually hear the dog speak. It was fascinating.
Seeing the dog come out, Su Qing nodded with satisfaction and then heavily plopped down on the sofa, exhausted and not wanting to get up at all.
The day had been overly eventful and absurdly fulfilling. He had gone to the police station in the morning to investigate a case, interrogated two waves of suspects, met Xu Feng in the afternoon for a battle of wits, and even stopped by the company. In the evening, he even had to explore lifeâs questions with Wang Shanshan. If every day were like this, he wanted to die from it all. All of this, ultimately, was Shen Yiâs fault.
His waist was faintly aching, showing signs of a herniated disk.
Seeing him so physically drained, the two women were slightly surprised.
Shen Yi, who was closest to him, leaned over and sniffed him curiously:
"Did you drink?"
"You could tell?" Su Qing was a bit surprised. After all, he had only had a little cocktail, with a tangy-sweet taste that wasnât too much. He was only slightly tipsy.
"What do you think? You canât hold your liquor. Why did you drink today?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.
Su Qing rolled his eyes at her: "Wasnât it for you?"
"For me?"
"I went to see Wang Shanshan and met her!"
"Why did you go to meet her?"
In response, he didnât hide anything and explained his plan and his meeting with Wang Shanshan, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.
It was unbelievable that in just one day, he had done so much and taken things this far.
If things were truly as he said, then Xu Fengâs side would be the first to become chaotic.
"Oh dear~~ This is what itâs like to have a man backing you up at home. Iâm so envious, Xiao Yi! Look at how tired youâve made Xiao Su, shouldnât you express some gratitude?" The landlady said, joining her hands together in teasing.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yiâs cheeks turned slightly red, but she quickly punched Su Qing: "Could you at least discuss things with me first? I thought you were out doing something late at night again!"
Su Qing didnât say anything, silently taking the punch; he was truly exhausted.
"Yeah, someone even thought you went to see your university professor!" Wen Nanqing chimed in from the side, making Shen Yi grit her teeth in annoyance.
Seeing this, Wen Nanqing hurriedly continued: "Alright, even if someone doesnât care, your sister still wants to express her gratitude."
Having said that, she took out two beautifully packaged boxes from under the coffee table and placed them on top, saying:
"Xiao Su, this is a gift from your sister Nan and me. Seeing how tired you are, your sister found a renowned traditional Chinese doctor for you."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing opened his eyes and immediately saw the words "Enhance Yang, Benefit Essence and Blood" on the boxes, his eyes widening in surprise.
"This... this is..."
"Itâs Cistanche. Itâs beneficial for men to eat regularly. Itâs just like how women often consume Huang Qi and donkey-hide gelatin. Theyâre all supplements, and youâre still young, youâll benefit from it!"
Su Qing: ...
He finally understood why the side notes had been hinting he would receive supplements, and indeed two portions.
But why are you giving me this stuff? Even if you want to gift it, canât you remove the words about enhancing Yang? It makes me seem like Iâm already weak in my early twenties.
"Uh... thank you!"
"Youâre welcome!" It wasnât clear if the landlady caught the undertone of his words, her expression was one of pride, as if she had accomplished something significant.
"By the way, Sister Wen, do you have any news?" Su Qing asked.
Wen Nanqing nodded: "My brother called me this afternoon, and thereâs no news yet, but heâs already looking into the tax issues at Xu Fengâs company. Even his factory in the West Suburb has many violations, especially with fire safety issues, at least it will cause some trouble for him."
At this, Su Qing nodded in satisfaction. It had only been two days, after all. If a companyâs internal situation could be uncovered by outsiders, it would be absurd. What kind of company would have such loopholes?
But as long as someone was watching Xu Fengâs companyâs tax issues, uncovering them was just a matter of time. As for the factoryâs fire safety problems, those were minor matters, essentially just a way to deliberately trouble him.
"Letâs wait for news then!"
Meanwhile, in another upscale neighborhood in Jiangcheng City Center, a middle-aged couple was scolding their daughter.
"Are you out of your mind? Thatâs ten million! Do you think you can spend it like a thousand bucks? Just handing it over for someone else to invest in their company? How did I end up with a daughter like you?" A middle-aged man with graying hair shouted at his daughter, who was none other than Wang Shanshanâs father, Wang Zheng.
After parting ways with Su Qing, Wang Shanshan thought for a long time and eventually decided to confess to her parents. When her father found out she had taken several million and sold one of her properties, he was livid.
If their child lost money in business, whether it was ten million or even twenty million, he would accept it. But he couldnât accept their child being scammed like a fool.
"Dad..."
"Donât call me Dad, Iâm not your father!" Wang Zheng yelled angrily, scaring Wang Shanshan into silence, sitting with her flushed face on the sofa.
Finally, the woman next to him spoke up: "Her dad, forget it. Itâs useless to talk about it now. We should think about how to get the money back. If what the person who leaked information to Shanshan said is true, Xu Fengâs company is just an empty shell now!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng looked sharply at his wife and said in a deep voice:
"Are you sure the person you met tonight and everything you told me are true?"
Wang Shanshan nodded. Seeing this, Wang Zheng took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a while, and then spoke: "Alright, I understand this matter now. You donât need to worry about it. Give me the contact information of the person you met today. Also, for the next few days, without my permission, donât go out, donât contact Xu Feng, and turn off your phone. Understand?"
"Un...understood!"
