Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten Chapter 1393 - Man of Status

Chapter 1393: Man of Status

Xiang Yuanjiu frowned and shook his head. “Following your suspicions, I sent a number of men to follow Han Hongbin, and it seems he has been in contact with the Prime Minister, just as you had expected. However, Crocodile has not made any moves nor does he appear to be interacting with anyone at all. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s very good at covering his tracks or if he’s just being cautious.”

“I have a feeling that this is all just the calm before the storm. The Han family was kicked out of the big four wealthiest families by me. There’s no way Han Hongbin is going to give up all his years of hard work. He’s bound to make another move, so let’s wait and see.”

“I will pay close attention to the Han family. On the other hand, you are the person they are dying to get rid of, so be careful.”

“I know, I will. Could you please give me a copy of the latest update about the Qiao family branch. I want to take it with me and study it at home.”

“Sure! Come in and wait while I make a copy for you.”

Yun Xi nodded and followed him into the Intelligence Unit. “It’s been quite cold recently. Have you gone home to see your mother?”

“I’ve been back a few times, and she’s always talking about you.”

Xiang Yuanjiu looked up and cast a glance at her, then quickly lowered his head again and busied himself with the task at hand. Nonetheless, his mind was somewhere else.

He knew that she belonged to the Young Commander. It had also been the Young Commander who had given him the opportunity to start over and to rise in the ranks. A beautiful girl like her could only make a match with a man of status like the Young Commander. He didn’t even dare dream of it.

“I’d like to visit her once I’m finished with all this. Is she in good health?”

“She’s doing all right. In fact, she’s much better than before, thanks to your help back then…”

“That was no big deal. There’s no need to keep thanking me.”

Xiang Yuanjiu smiled wryly, then quickly copied the information she needed onto a CD. He would never be able to forget her kindness and goodwill. Perhaps this was the only way he could make up for some of the regrets he felt in his heart.

After descending Tianyu Mountain, Yun Xi made a detour to the hospice. Fortunately, Grandfather Jiang’s symptoms had been successfully contained, and he had not gotten worse. However, the inflammation in his lungs had not disappeared, so he still required the constant aid of a ventilator.

Jiang Chenghuan visited him at the hospice every day. When Yun Xi got there, Jiang Chenghuan was just leaving. Seeing her coming by so late at night, he hurried over to her. “Yun Xi, why are you here? Has the vaccine been developed?”

Yun Xi shook her head. “Not yet. Everyone is working very hard, so you shouldn’t worry too much. Your grandfather’s symptoms have been suppressed for now. If the drug treatment remains effective, he may not need a vaccine even though it might take a long time. Rest a.s.sured, we will use the best medicine we have for your grandfather.”

“I understand. It’s just that my grandfather is old, and I’m worried that he might not hold out.”

“He will, I’m sure of it. The old man’s physique is much stronger than that of a lot of other people his age. He will definitely survive this. We will also do our best with the lab research.”

If everything followed the timeline of her previous life, the vaccine would be developed soon. Whether it was a drug treatment or a vaccine, they were involved in a life-and-death struggle.

“I can tell that you have a strong bond with the old man.”

“Since I was a child, my grandfather has always been extra-fond of me. After all, I am the eldest grandson, so he has always put all his hopes on me. Also, my parents were often away for long periods because of their work. In a way, I was brought up by my grandfather. Compared with my parents, I have a deeper connection with my grandfather.”

“Rest a.s.sured, we are now planning on using two sets of treatment: using drugs and the vaccine. The drug treatment has successfully suppressed the virus, so we know that it’s working. Who knows, maybe before the vaccine is developed, the old man’s illness will be cured already.”

“I sure hope so.” Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chenghuan raised his head and looked at her. “The Han family has been very quiet lately. You should be careful.”

“There’s something fishy going on. I just know it.”
