Chapter 198: Chapter 196: The Thoughtful Xia Ling

Han Min had never expected Long Chen to have such a strong disposition and hold such a large grudge.

She suddenly felt that all along, she had underestimated Long Chen.

This guy was not easy to deal with.

"Xiao Chen, I was wrong to you before, but I really realize my mistake, can you give me a chance to make it up to you?"

Han Min stared at Long Chen, trying to make him believe her.

Long Chen shook his head, too lazy to say more, and turned to leave.

Since Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan were not at home, staying there would have made him feel very uncomfortable.

Shortly after, Long Chen arrived at the Dragon Doctor.

Xia Ling saw Long Chen with a grievous expression.

That grievous look in her eyes seemed like it could melt anyone.

"You, you’ve disappeared again for several days."

Xia Ling fiercely pinched Long Chen.

Long Chen bared his teeth in pain, then immediately smiled and said, "It’s all my fault, my mistake. How have things been recently?"

"How could it be? The Nangong Family and the Yang Family are busy overtly and covertly fighting, luckily they are not bothering us.

The plan we discussed started today,"

Xia Ling said.

"What plan was it?" Long Chen chuckled dryly.

Xia Ling paused, then, infuriated, wanted to beat Long Chen, "You idiot, it was your idea, to set all the elixirs to a fixed price of ten yuan within Great Xia, and you’ve already forgotten?"

"Cough, cough, cough, now I remember."

Long Chen hugged Xia Ling, "Still, Ling’er is efficient, I am not good at these things, not as capable as you."

"Hmph, at least you know that," Xia Ling said. "But, to prevent some people from exploiting our lower prices to make a fortune, I’ve set a rule.

For all purchasers of the elixirs, excluding some special cases, almost all must have a relevant and exact diagnosis, otherwise, the elixirs will be sold at the original price, not a penny less."

"Smart."

Long Chen held up his thumb.

He had never thought of the things that Xia Ling always could.

It seemed that choosing Xia Ling to manage Dragon Doctor was a correct decision.

At least so far, Xia Ling had not let Long Chen down; everything was managed systematically.

"And also, under the company’s name, I’ve directed a donation of one trillion to the Great Xia army, and also established the Dragon Fund to provide assistance to those in need across Great Xia. Of course, don’t worry, I won’t disrupt any balance just because we are wealthy; the people we help are definitely those who really need help and are often overlooked."

Xia Ling said softly.

"Well done, anything else?"

Long Chen asked.

"There’s more, but I don’t know if you’ll like it."

Xia Ling stared at Long Chen, hesitant to continue.

"Let’s hear it,"

Long Chen hugged Xia Ling, sitting down.

Xia Ling leaned into Long Chen’s arms, whispering, "I want to invest in Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan’s company, to support them.

I feel that we might not rely on Dragon Doctor to keep making money, but we cannot really stop making money.

Sometimes making money is not just for profit, but to maintain some delicate balance."

"Do you think Yuechan and Churan will accept your investment?" Long Chen asked.

"I think if they know that I won’t intervene at all in their actual decision-making, they would probably be very willing to collaborate with Dragon Doctor."

Xia Ling laughed.

"At this rate, it looks like we’ll really become one big family soon," Long Chen said.

"That’s right," Xia Ling said. "I’ve already thought of a name, the ’Long Xia Group.’"

"Also, we can’t just make elixirs. We have to find a way to let Dragon Doctor flourish and branch out, otherwise everyone will want to uproot our tree."

"I like the way you think. I support it."

"Ha, you’re just a hands-off manager. You support everything I say. If I were like you, I’d support everything too, hmph."

Xia Lingjiao hmphed.

"Haha, I can’t not support it. By the way, there’s another person you could help if possible."

"Who?" Xia Ling asked, puzzled.

"Her name is Hu Qingqing, she’s in the food industry, came from a humble background, and has been struggling alone in Qianzhou. She’s somewhat established now, and I think she has a promising future. We could invest."

Long Chen said.

"Oh..." Xia Ling said meaningfully, "A love interest?"

"Not at all," Long Chen hurriedly replied. "Don’t jump to conclusions. My relationship with Sister Qingqing is truly pure."

"Haha, just kidding. I’ll listen to you. Besides, we have so much money, we can invest a little in many industries, like the currently popular eSports, live streaming, basketball and football clubs, hotels, etc. We can get involved to correct some malpractices. Not to make a lot of money, but to improve the overall environment."

Xia Ling spoke softly.

Long Chen, taken aback, didn’t expect Xia Ling’s consciousness to be so high.

He kissed Xia Ling passionately and laughed, "Well deserved for the woman I chose. I like your vision."

"Hmph, of course. By the way, are you going to release a new elixir soon?" Xia Ling asked.

"I probably won’t for now. Recently, Martial Arts practitioners have been entering the city, and I sense a big storm coming. It will revolve around our Dragon Doctor, so any new elixirs will have to wait until this storm has passed," Long Chen said.

"Alright."

"Okay then, you get busy, and keep an eye on the Elixir Medicine Factory, produce more elixirs as inventory."

...

At this moment, at the Yang Family’s home.

Yang Su, who had disappeared for a few days, was immediately questioned by her father Yang Ji and grandfather Yang Shenhuai upon her return.

"Susu, have you been investigating Long Chen these past few days?"

Yang Shenhuai asked.

"Um."

Yang Su nodded.

She didn’t mention that her relationship with Long Chen had changed.

Because now, speaking out could turn a good thing into a bad thing, sparking many unnecessary conflicts.

"So, what have you found?" Yang Ji asked.

Yang Su said, "Long Chen’s medical skills are exceptional, and he knows some Martial Arts, but his Martial Arts are indeed too weak compared to his medical skills. Grandpa, Dad, I think our biggest enemy is still the Nangong Family."

"Speaking of the Nangong Family, they recently hired a Divine Doctor from somewhere. Not only did he cure Nangong Li, but he also used his status as Divine Doctor to pull over some high-level Martial Arts practitioners who were friendly with him to help the Nangong Family. This is a significant threat."

Yang Shenhuai spoke gravely.

"Fortunately, the Nangong Family already knows that Nangong Li was not harmed by our Yang Family. That fool Nangong Li also told the truth himself, that it was Long Chen who crippled him. So, the Nangong Family has not fully waged war against us yet, presumably because they want to deal with Long Chen first," Yang Ji said.

"Are they really planning to kill Long Chen?" Yang Su asked.

Yang Shenhuai shook his head and said, "It’s unlikely they’ll kill him. If Long Chen dies, it wouldn’t benefit them in the long run. So I speculate that they’re probably planning to capture Long Chen and then use the Emperor to command the lords."

"Is Long Chen really the true helmsman of Dragon Doctor?" Yang Su asked.

"Most likely. We can’t let the Nangong Family succeed; otherwise, we would be very passive," Yang Shenhuai said seriously.

Yang Su thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, Dad, at this point, we can’t delay anymore. We must take the initiative to start. Also, I have some corresponding suggestions."
