NOVPUBUpon seeing Yang Ruoshui’s tense expression slightly pale, Chen Nan revealed a gentle smile and tried to ease the solemn atmosphere. He slowly said, "If it were an ordinary person encountering a situation like yours, they would have been at a loss long ago."
"Your illness is truly too bizarre, almost like an unsolvable fog, to say it is an incurable disease would not be an exaggeration."
Speaking to this point, 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Chen Nan’s mouth corners slightly lifted, sketching a thought-provoking curve.
From his deep eyes, a confident glow burst forth in an instant, like bright stars shimmering in the night sky.
His entire being radiated an exuberant aura, as if there was no mystery in the world that could perplex him.
Yang Ruoshui’s originally dim eyes suddenly brightened, and a surprised expression appeared on her face as she hurriedly asked, "Do you have a way?"
Chen Nan hummed softly, his tone filled with a confidence of having everything under control, "It’s not a big issue, but, we still need one crucial item. Let’s head back to the city first!"
"Okay." Yang Ruoshui responded without hesitation, fully trusting Chen Nan’s words as if his presence could solve all problems effortlessly.
Subsequently, the two of them quickly left the prison, their car racing towards the city like an arrow released from its bow.
On the way back, Chen Nan drove the car steadily while dialing Wang Guodong’s phone.
The call was quickly connected. Chen Nan didn’t beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly, "Uncle Wang, do you have any ambergris?"
Wang Guodong was a prominent figure in Jizhou’s business community.
Not only had he achieved extraordinary success in the business field, but he also had a strong interest and deep research into jade and antiques.
Knowing his wide range of hobbies and rich collection, Chen Nan immediately called to inquire about ambergris from him.
After all, ambergris was key to saving Yang Ruoshui.
Uncle Wang’s voice boomed from the other end of the line, "Yes, but only about two grams. If you need it, come to Baoyu Pavilion!"
"Alright, I should arrive at Baoyu Pavilion in about half an hour." After hanging up, Chen Nan focused on driving the Mercedes swiftly on the highway.
Meanwhile, he turned to Yang Ruoshui and said, "Ambergris is an extremely precious ingredient, especially the unrefined type, which has miraculous effects. It can help me enter your dreams."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoshui’s eyes widened in shock, disbelief shining through her beautiful eyes. She stuttered, "You... you want to enter my dream?"
Chen Nan nodded solemnly, his gaze firm as he looked at Yang Ruoshui. "Yes. Only by entering your dreams can we truly understand what’s going on and find the key to solving the problem."
Yang Ruoshui couldn’t help but swallow nervously, feeling that everything seemed like a fantastical tale, too mystical and far beyond her understanding.
Half an hour later, Chen Nan and Yang Ruoshui arrived at the Jizhou antique market.
After parking the car steadily in the parking lot, Chen Nan led Yang Ruoshui familiarly towards Baoyu Pavilion.
Inside Baoyu Pavilion, Wang Guodong had already been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Chen Nan and Yang Ruoshui approaching together, his pupils sharply constricted, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
His gaze lingered on Yang Ruoshui for a moment and immediately recognized her identity.
In that instant, his heart was like a towering wave that could not be calmed for a long time.
He had never expected that Chen Nan would be with Yang Ruoshui.
It must be noted that this woman was no ordinary person; as the head of Jizhou Prison, she was a bona fide vice-provincial level senior official. Her status and power in Jizhou were extraordinary.
Even the Secretary of Jizhou City, Lu Yuanyang, had to treat her with the utmost courtesy and respect.
After a brief moment of shock, Wang Guodong quickly tried to calm his emotions.
Yang Ruoshui’s status was indeed awe-inspiring, but he knew all too well the miraculous means of Chen Nan.
This young man had always shown extraordinary abilities, and it was only natural for him to form connections with these powerful figures and become their honored guest.
"Sister Yang, let me introduce you. This is Wang Guodong, President of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce. He was a good friend of my father and has always taken good care of me," said Chen Nan with a smile. He then quickly added, "Uncle Wang, Sister Yang is my sworn sister. She came to borrow the ambergris to help treat her illness."
Hearing this, Wang Guodong’s heart trembled violently.
He had not expected that Chen Nan and Yang Ruoshui would be calling each other brother and sister.
Especially that term "sworn sister."
He couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild, already guessing that their relationship might be out of the ordinary.
In an instant, his heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and he regarded Chen Nan with even greater respect.
He had never anticipated it.
This young man was so incredible, to have such an intimate relationship with a beautiful prison warden like Yang Ruoshui.
Although he was very shocked by their relationship,
Wang Guodong, after all, was someone who had experienced great upheavals; he quickly adjusted his emotions and his face was filled with a warm smile.
He generously extended his hand, shook hands briefly with Yang Ruoshui, and then said, "Chen Nan, as you just mentioned, you and Miss Yang are like siblings. Since that’s the case, we are no strangers to each other."
"It’s just two grams of ambergris, Uncle Wang will give it to you. We don’t have the word ’borrow’ among us." His tone was sincere and generous, displaying the demeanor of a business magnate.
Yang Ruoshui smiled and said, "President Wang, I appreciate your kind gesture, but ambergris is extremely valuable, and I cannot take advantage of you. Please, name your price!"
Wang Guodong looked towards Chen Nan, his face showing difficulty. He truly did not want to take money, but he also dared not refuse Yang Ruoshui’s request.
"The feeling between us uncle and nephew cannot be measured with money," Chen Nan smiled and said. "Money is not important. The urgent task is to cure your illness. Compensation can be made later if need be."
Yang Ruoshui simply hummed in reply, politely saying, "Thank you then, President Wang."
Wang Guodong felt jubilant inside, but only revealed a mild smile: "We’re all family here; no need for such formality." He then handed Chen Nan a palm-sized brocade box containing a grayish piece of ambergris about the size of a ping-pong ball, though very light in density.
"Uncle Wang, we’ll be going now. We’ll have a drink together when we have time!" Chen Nan smiled and said, and after chatting idly for a couple more sentences, left Baoyu Pavilion with Yang Ruoshui.
After leaving Baoyu Pavilion, Yang Ruoshui affectionately wrapped her arm around Chen Nan’s arm and softly said, "Darling, it was for me that you now owe President Wang a favor, though he is your elder, it shouldn’t be you repaying it."
"I’ll find a way to repay the favor I owe him!"
Chen Nan couldn’t help but look at her stunning profile and curiously asked, "How will you repay it?"
