Holding his chopsticks, Cheng Juan glanced lazily at them and said calmly, "Eat first."
Jiang Dongye and Gu Xichi both wanted to smash his face with the cup in their hands.
How could they possibly eat now?!
But they only dared to think about this.
Gu Xichi downed the cup of cold water that Cheng Mu handed him and felt a little eased. When everyone else on the table began to eat, he also picked up his chopsticks.
They finished their meal in half an hour.
Jiang Dongye had already put down his chopsticks ten minutes earlier but still stayed seated, waiting for the others.
"Come to my study. Let's talk." Cheng Juan finished eating and picked up the tissue beside him to slowly wipe his hands.
Glancing at each other, Jiang Dongye and Gu Xichi followed Cheng Juan to the study. Meanwhile, Qin Ran took the watering can and headed to the flower garden.
"Master Juan, what's going on? You... what are you doing?" In the study room, Jiang Dongye sat down on the sofa in a daze.
It was like the beggar who asked for food since young was actually the King!
It was indeed unfathomable. The Cheng and Jiang families were both powerful in the capital, especially the Cheng family.
But even so, there was still a disparity between the Cheng family and the internationally famous diamond gangster, at least financially.
One was the overlord of the region, while the other was of the city. They couldn't be compared.
Cheng Shui poured a cup of tea for Jiang Dongye.
"It has been a long time, too long to explain." Cheng Juan leaned against the pillow on the sofa and said lightly, "The person in the mine was beaten down by me and had no other choice."
Jiang Dongye was speechless.
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Xichi also heard this and a flash of light flickered through his mind as he suddenly remembered something.
"I remember years ago when I was in the Middle East..." He squinted while holding the cup.
Gu Xichi liked to travel to various places. He learned medicine from a young age and would travel around with a medicine box to save the world at the age of 15.
He had saved countless people but particularly remembered saving a group of people by the mine.
Cheng Juan heard this, chuckled, and nodded."That's right."
At that time, Cheng Juan hadn't been much older. He had taken a mission and broken into a foreign country, offending a lot of enemies along the way. Although he wouldn't have died without Gu Xichi's help, since he had been saved by him, he naturally had to return the favor.
"Wait. Master Juan, this..." Jiang Dongye took a sip of tea and barely managed to calm his nerves."Nobody from Beijing knows of this?"
"Nobody else knows other than Cheng Shui and the others." Cheng Juan raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already close to 9 pm. His voice was gentle as he asked, "Any other questions?"
Jiang Dongye and Gu Xichi naturally had a bunch of questions, but they couldn't ask at this time, so they just shook their heads and went back to the room to digest this new information.
**
Neither of them slept well that night.
Their dark eye circles were deep when they woke up the next morning.
Qin Ran seemed a little more excited than before and took the two of them around the manor the next morning.
"The people here are quite powerful, " Jiang Dongye glanced around at the people on the training ground and said involuntarily.
The people on the training ground were quick to throw punches and had enough strength. Even in Continent M, only a few of them were required to defeat their opponents. Jiang Dongye was a trainer and could naturally feel their strength.
Laying on a wooden pile, Gu Xichi glanced over casually and wasn't very concerned.
He had never trained systematically before and would lose in a fight with any trainer if he were to fight alone without using any underhand methods. Hence, he naturally couldn't see how powerful the people on the small training ground were.
"Xiao Ran, what's that?" He reached out and pointed to the boxing machine on the training ground.
Qin Ran was sitting on the wooden stake right next to him. She turned at the sound of her name and answered, "It's a boxing strength test. It can test how strong your punches are."
"So magical?" Jiang Dongye was also curious.
Qin Ran took them there.
The biggest training ground was closed these two days, so there were many people on the small training ground.
When they saw Qin Ran, everyone stopped consciously and greeted "Miss Qin" very respectfully.
Gu Xichi raised an eyebrow and smiled down at her."Xiao Ran, you're quite popular here."
"It's okay." Qin Ran pulled the hat on her down jacket and walked over to the boxing machine."It's here."
At the detector, Luo Dui had just given it a punch!
887!
The people beside him cheered."Luo Dui, did you break your record?"
887 was a few points higher than Cheng Huo's highest record. A month ago, Luo Dui had only scored between 860 and 870.
Luo Dui squeezed his fingers excitedly. These few days, he had consulted Qin Ran for pointers. Although he hadn't improved as fast as Cheng Mu, he was still extremely satisfied.
"Miss Qin, do you want to use the boxing machine?" Luo Dui saw Qin Ran and gave way for her.
Not far away, Tang Qing, who was lining up to test her boxing strength, saw this and her expression darkened.
Glancing at Jiang Dongye's eagerness to try, Qin Ran put one hand on her chin and tilted her head. She raised her exquisite eyebrows and said, "No, you continue."
After confirming that Qin Ran didn't intend on using the equipment, Luo Dui led the people to continue training.
Jiang Dongye glanced at the 800-plus punching power on the boxing machine and wanted to know his own punching strength even more. When Qin Ran said this, he couldn't help but glance at her.
Qin Ran lowered her hand and glanced at him, her expression sloppy and casual."Let's go, come with me first."
She took them to the training room on the first floor.
Inside, Cheng Mu and Shi Liming had just finished a fight. Cheng Mu stood upright when he saw them."Miss Qin."
Qin Ran nodded at him casually and then pointed to the boxing machine not far away. She turned and smiled at Jiang Dongye."There's one there too, try it."
"Young Master Jiang, do you want to test your punching strength?" Cheng Mu followed behind them. He then pointed to the five rows of numbers displayed and explained it to Jiang Dongye and Gu Xichi.
"So, these are all your results?" Jiang Dongye stared at the bottom three lines of numbers.
956.
949.
958.
Each score was over 900 and much higher than the scores he had seen outside.
"It's mine." Cheng Mu nodded.
He had only scored around 850 half a month ago, and it had taken another half a month to increase the scores by 100. Although the growth rate slowed down after 850, Cheng Mu was already very satisfied.
After all...
In Cheng Mu's impression, Cheng Shui's record was 910.
Jiang Dongye glanced at the highest record of the machine again, which was 1321. He was extremely eager to try."Our strengths are pretty similar, I should score around 950 too."
Beside Gu Xichi, Qin Ran sighed."... give it a try first."
Cheng Mu was speechless.
Shi Liming had come to watch the show and the corners of his mouth also twitched.
Gu Xichi glanced at Qin Ran."Xiao Ran, what's with your expression?"
Qin Ran reached out to pull on her coat and coughed."Nothing, it's nothing."
At this time, Jiang Dongye exhausted all his strength and hit the testing instrument with one punch.
"Look closely, I probably scored around 940..." Jiang Dongye put his hand on the machine and leaned sideways. He glanced at Qin Ran and Gu Xichi in a charming posture.
However, he froze before he finished speaking.
The third line of numbers on the testing instrument had changed.
It changed from 956 to 659.
With the score of 1321 on the top two lines and 900-plus on the bottom two, the score of 659 looked extremely pitiful against them.
Jiang Dongye stared at the testing equipment in disbelief. Then, he turned to gape at Cheng Mu.
He felt like the machine was broken.
He took another step back and punched against it hard.
642.
Jiang Dongye was speechless.
"Is it spoiled?" Jiang Dongye stared blankly at Cheng Mu, trying to retrieve his pride.
Patting Jiang Dongye on the shoulder, Cheng Mu said with experience, "It's okay, Young Master Jiang. I only scored 652 when I tried for the first time. The people here aren't ordinary. You just... have to get used to it."
Jiang Dongye wasn't really comforted at all.
He thought about what he just saw on the training ground. They had all scored around 800, and Luo Dui had even scored 889.
After seeing Cheng Mu's score of 950, he really thought that 800 was just an ordinary score...
But who knew that he couldn't even score 700.
Jiang Dongye stared at the score of 1321 on the top row and felt even more depressed.
Leaning over to Qin Ran, Gu Xichi couldn't help but chuckle."Xiao Ran, you really have the foresight to bring him here to test. If the group of people on that small training ground witnessed this, how embarrassing would it have been?"
He would surely have pretended not to know Jiang Dongye.
Qin Ran put her hands in her pockets and smiled, looking very modestly at Gu Xichi."You flatter me."
Jiang Dongye was speechless.
He turned to look at Gu Xichi and wiped his face."Do you still have medicine?"
If the doctors of the medical organization knew that their medicine was so heavily missed without being fully researched yet, they might really cry.
This day passed by as Qin Ran led them around the manor.
The next day, the grand assessment of the manor started.
