157: Check into Gangnam District

Wang Qiang was an old fox after all; despite the storm raging in his heart, his face remained smiling. He buried his shock deep within his eyes, silently calculating in his mind.

His eyes, which had read countless people in the business world, now looked at Cao Lang as if they were looking at a living deity.

This young man not only had a mysterious background, but his methods were godlike!

He forcibly suppressed the urge to immediately act as a middleman, knowing such things could not be rushed. Mr. Cao, who was treated this way by Xia Rushuang, was clearly not an ordinary person who could be moved by money or status!

This matter required a slow and careful approach.

“Eldest Miss, Mr. Cao, hotels have many eyes and ears; it’s ultimately inconvenient.”

Wang Qiang put on a warm smile, keeping his posture extremely low.

“I have a small villa over in Jiangnan District. The security is top-notch, and it’s absolutely quiet. Why don't you consider moving there for a few days? Let your Uncle Wang fulfill his duties as a host.”

Xia Rushuang’s willow-like brows furrowed slightly. She was ice-smart and immediately guessed the situation.

Even though Wang Qiang had been rooted in Kimchi Country for many years, how could he have known her whereabouts and shown up right on time if someone from her family hadn't tipped him off?

It must be that meddling brother of hers!

She felt a bit displeased. She had finally gotten some time alone with Cao Lang, yet these mundane affairs kept interrupting.

But on second thought, a hotel really wasn't private enough. If they were bothered by talent scouts again, it would be another headache. Going to the villa in Jiangnan District would allow them to close the doors and enjoy true quality time with Cao Lang.

Thinking of this, she no longer resisted. To be able to stay close to her beloved man without interruption, any place was the same!

She didn't answer Wang Qiang, but instead turned to look at Cao Lang, seeking his opinion with her eyes.

Cao Lang shrugged indifferently. More than half of the fifteen-day agreement with Xia Rushuang had already passed. It was time to make other plans; he also wanted to expand his network here.

Seeing Cao Lang nod, Xia Rushuang said indifferently to Wang Qiang, “Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Wang.”

“No trouble at all! No trouble! It is my honor that you and Mr. Cao would grace me with your presence!”

Overjoyed, Wang Qiang immediately bowed and made a 'please' gesture, personally leading the way... The road from the hotel to Jiangnan District wasn't very far.

There was a dedicated lead car in front, ensuring a smooth journey. Traffic police on the side of the road would salute when they saw them.

People say that in Kimchi Country, the chaebols are like celestial beings. It really felt that way!

The car entered Seoul's top wealthy area—Jiangnan District.

Over a decade ago, a hit song called 'Gangnam Style' described the extravagant life here.

Here, all kinds of Instagram stars and Internet Celebrities could be seen everywhere. Their attire was bold and avant-garde; tight yoga pants outlined incredible waist-to-hip ratios, and cool camisoles generously displayed fair skin and impressive cleavage.

One fitness blogger with tens of millions of followers on Instagram was out for a run.

It had to be said, she looked very well-endowed, but when she ran, there was no significant bouncing. It felt very 'high-tech'.

Cao Lang only glanced out the window before withdrawing his gaze. These 'beauties' built on artificial technology and bold clothing were nothing more than common vulgarities.

They were far inferior to Xia Rushuang.

The motorcade finally stopped in front of a villa. The villa's style was highly modern, featuring an outdoor pool and an avant-garde design with extreme privacy. Security personnel were stationed every few steps; the guard was tight!

“Mr. Cao, Eldest Miss, please.”

Wang Qiang welcomed the two into the villa. The interior decoration was extremely luxurious. While not as elegant as Tan Palace, it was close.

After settling everything, Xia Rushuang developed a strong interest in the villa's master bedroom and excitedly ran upstairs to check out her and Cao Lang's little nest.

In the living room, only Cao Lang and Wang Qiang remained.

The opportunity had come!

Wang Qiang was also very polite to Cao Lang, striking up a conversation:

“Mr. Cao, a hero indeed comes from the youth. You don't look old, yet you have such superb medical skills. Forgive my presumption... but do you come from a family of divine doctors?”

He didn't dare ask too directly and could only probe in this roundabout way.

It was said that true experts had very eccentric tempers. If he didn't handle the situation correctly, he might offend the man!

Cao Lang smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying. Instead, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Wang Qiang was a shrewd man; seeing this, he became even more certain of his guess. He simply extended his wrist with a respectful posture:

“Mr. Cao, I wonder if you could... take the pulse of these old bones of mine? I always feel like I've lacked energy lately, like I'm unable to do what I want...”

Cao Lang glanced at him, put down his coffee cup, and casually placed his hand on Wang Qiang's pulse.

A moment later, a curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

“Excessive smoking and drinking, and unbridled indulgence. Your body was hollowed out long ago. I suspect you're finding it hard to perform now, aren't you?” Cao Lang spoke plainly, hitting the mark.

Wang Qiang’s expression didn't change. Such words were very general; any ordinary Chinese doctor could make an accurate diagnosis. He hadn't seen the man's true skill yet.

“Mr. Cao is perceptive! I wonder... is there a cure?”

Cao Lang smiled and casually pulled a small bottle from his pocket, poured out a small, entirely azure pill, and tossed it on the table.

This was the little blue pill given by the system! It looked like Cao Lang took it from his pocket, but he actually retrieved it from the system space.

That's right, his system had recently unlocked the tag [Passionate Collision], rewarding Cao Lang with a system space to conveniently store valuable items.

“This thing has no side effects. Feel free to take it. One pill lasts for three days.”

He said casually, “For Rushuang’s sake, I'll sell it to you cheap. One hundred million huaxia currency.”

Ever since he got the golden kidney from the system reward, such things had indeed become useless items at the bottom of his trunk.

Looking at the blue pill emitting a faint luster, Wang Qiang was shocked!

Cao Lang actually dared to sell this pill for a hundred million!

Could it really be that miraculous?

But with the case of Xia Rushuang's recovery right before him, Wang Qiang only hesitated for a moment before happily buying it!

“Good! I’ll buy it. Money can't buy happiness, and I hope Mr. Cao's medicine can truly make me happy!”

...That night, after taking his leave, Wang Qiang returned to his other residence in Jiangnan District.

He couldn't wait to close the door and swallow the little blue pill.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current instantly surged through his limbs and bones, finally settling in his dantian.

He casually summoned a young maid he frequently favored.

A bout of passion ensued.

After it ended, the maid was already as limp as mud and had fallen into a deep sleep, clearly unable to handle it.

Wang Qiang stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the brilliant night view of Seoul. Instead of his usual fatigue and emptiness, he felt his whole body filled with inexhaustible strength. He was refreshed, as if he had returned to his peak at eighteen!

Now, he was like a vigorous old bull!

Holy crap!

Awesome!

This wasn't an ordinary aphrodisiac! Those things left you with not just abdominal pain, but pain all over your body afterward!

But this pill from Mr. Cao was simply a divine medicine for strengthening the foundation and restoring youth!

An unprecedented light erupted in Wang Qiang's eyes.

He knew that a wave of immense wealth was rushing toward him!

Those old guys whose bodies were hollowed out by wine and women... if they knew about this, they'd be willing to buy it no matter the price, right?
