My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 1359 - 1360: Jadeite Maitreya

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1360: Jadeite Maitreya

"You’re certainly here at the right time."

In the office, Captain Yue Shengnan stared at Xiao Chen coldly and said.

"I’m an enthusiastic informant. When I come across useful intel, naturally, I report it promptly."

Xiao Chen replied with a smile.

"Hmph, let’s hope that’s true."

Yue Shengnan snorted coldly and said, "Go ahead, what kind of intel requires your grand presence?"

Xiao Chen said, "Well, I’ve noticed recently that people from Heijie Security Company seem to have been contacting Tonghua Security Company, and the two sides don’t appear to be on friendly terms.

So, I suspect this incident might have been instigated by the people from Heijie."

"Heijie City!"

Yue Shengnan furrowed her brows.

According to intelligence reports, ever since the Pan Family Garden fell, the surrounding Jianghu sects and security companies have become increasingly active, potentially vying for territory.

Xiao Chen’s words were highly plausible.

"And how exactly did you find out about this?"

Yue Shengnan inquired.

"There’s a dragon’s way for dragons, and a snake’s way for snakes. How I found out isn’t something I need to tell you. After all, I’m under no obligation."

Xiao Chen retorted.

"But you outright admitted earlier that you were the one behind it."

Yue Shengnan replied.

"I was joking, and you took it seriously? Do you think I’d have that kind of capability?"

Xiao Chen shrugged with an air of nonchalance.

Recalling how terrifying that person was—someone undoubtedly stronger than herself—Yue Shengnan realized that Xiao Chen couldn’t possibly possess that level of power.

After all, a person’s strength can often be discerned through their aura.

"But it’s also possible that you could have brought in the people from Heijie Security."

Yue Shengnan said coldly.

"That’s indeed a possibility."

Xiao Chen said lightly, "After all, I’m a live-in son-in-law of Xinmeng Group. Whether I did or didn’t, let’s see if you can dig out the evidence."

Xiao Chen’s face was lit up with a mischievous smile, visibly irritating Yue Shengnan.

"Hmph, Xiao, don’t get too smug. Someday, I’ll get hold of something against you, lock you up, and not even Xinmeng Group will be able to save you."

Yue Shengnan snorted, "Our Yama Hall operates under King Yama War God’s leadership. He fears no one."

"Captain Yue, that’s unkind. Here I am providing valuable intel out of goodwill, and you still treat me like this."

Xiao Chen shrugged, stood up, and walked straight toward the door.

"Stop!"

Yue Shengnan shouted.

Xiao Chen turned back and said, "I’m not your suspect."

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Walking outside, he sighed inwardly. Yue Shengnan was still too inexperienced—she needed more time to develop.

Returning home, he saw his mother, Shang Qingcheng, who had just come back from treatment at Hua Xian Hospital.

It was visible to the naked eye that Shang Qingcheng’s injuries had improved significantly, which made Xiao Chen genuinely happy.

"Mom, I heard from Hua Xian that with just a few more treatments, your illness will essentially be cured."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, that young man’s medical skills are truly exceptional. And you, having made such good friends—it makes me very happy."

Shang Qingcheng looked at her son dotingly and said, "By the way, about the recent events with Qingyu Company, I’m genuinely proud of you.

You’ve brought honor to your mother."

"Mom, your happiness is my happiness. Let’s go home."

Xiao Chen supported his mother’s arm, his heart filled with sweetness.

What does any child crave most, if not their parents’ praise?

"Xiao Chen, are you free tomorrow?"

Shang Qingcheng suddenly asked.

"Of course, I’m free all day nowadays."

Xiao Chen replied with a laugh.

"That’s wonderful. Your brother is too busy, so this time it’ll be up to you to accompany me to visit Elder Qu in Heijie City."

Shang Qingcheng said.

"Who is Elder Qu?"

Xiao Chen asked, puzzled.

"Elder Qu used to work for the Shang Clan and took care of me. Tomorrow is his milestone birthday, so we must visit him. And don’t show up like last time with just a single medical pill.

Show respect to Elder Qu—it will be beneficial for Qingyu Company and your future development."

Shang Qingcheng reminded him.

"Another milestone birthday!"

Xiao Chen sighed.

"What’s wrong? You don’t want to go?"

Shang Qingcheng asked.

"Of course I’ll go. How could I not? Mom’s benefactor is my benefactor—how could I refuse? Besides, I’m curious to see Heijie City."

Xiao Chen replied.

It was said that Heijie City was a hub for Jianghu figures, rife with chaos and disorder.

The place was almost entirely dominated by Jianghu elites, leaving ordinary residents to live bitter, laborious lives, as if they were serfs, enduring great hardship.

Elder Qu, formerly the Shang Clan’s butler, had retired and, with the clan’s support, become the Sea-Calming Divine Needle of Heijie City.

Xiao Chen was eager to see for himself what kind of person Elder Qu truly was.

The next day, Xiao Chen casually donned a set of athletic wear—loose-fitting and comfortable, perfect for mobility and combat.

Regarding the gift, he opted for something simple.

He had heard that Elder Qu had a penchant for jadeite, so he procured an exceptional piece—a jadeite Laughing Buddha—from Liu Dasuan. It was made of emerald-green glass-grade jadeite.

The quality was top-notch, and the Buddha had been carved by a master craftsman during the Qing Dynasty.

Being a friend, Liu Dasuan only charged Xiao Chen three billion for it, though its actual value was at least ten billion.

The kicker? It was irreplaceable.

Globally, it was one of a kind.

Not only was the material exceptionally rare, but the craftsmanship was also unrivaled.

After carefully boxing up the jadeite, Xiao Chen set out with Shang Qingcheng.

Before departing, Shang Qingcheng had dressed herself with particular care.

She seemed to have regained her youthful vibrancy.

Perhaps her rejuvenated mood played a part.

Lately, Shang Qingcheng, Huang Ningxia, and Liu Xin, the three elders, often gathered together. They found plenty of common ground, which brought them delightful companionship.

This was undoubtedly something special for the three of them.

Heijie City was located in Jijing, not far from the Capital City—about a half-hour drive, even without taking the highway. At most, it would be fifty minutes.

The Qu Family in Heijie City commanded reverence even from certain high-ranking figures in Capital City.

Not to mention those from neighboring regions.

The location was almost a sacred destination for numerous elites throughout the entirety of Capital Prefecture.

Not only because of Elder Qu’s ties to the Shang Clan but also because of the allure that relationship held.

Moreover, Elder Qu’s children held prominent positions.

His eldest son was currently the head of Capital Prefecture; his second son ran a multinational corporation, ranking among the nation’s top enterprises, comparable to the former Bai family’s conglomerate; his third son worked at Yama Hall in the capital, serving as King Taishan’s deputy.

Such a figure as Elder Qu—Qu Hongbo—naturally intrigued Xiao Chen.

It was precisely due to Elder Qu’s reputation and influence that nearly all of Capital Prefecture’s elites would attend his milestone celebration.

Rumor even had it that the Shang Clan had sent representatives to pay their respects—undoubtedly showing how much respect Elder Qu commanded.

On the road to Heijie City, one could see several luxury cars heading in the same direction.

Presumably, most were on their way to celebrate Elder Qu’s seventieth birthday.

The saying "life begins at seventy, rare by old standards" was apt; this was indeed a pivotal milestone, and crossing it hinted at brighter days ahead.

On the highway stretching from Tonghua City to Heijie City, a roaring Mercedes-Benz G-Class sped along.

Sitting in the backseat were two young men.
