Chapter 719: Chapter 719: If Born in Troubled Times, One Would Surely Be Knighted and Made Prime Minister

The so-called cleanup meant leaving no one behind.

Everyone present was a lifelong shadow for Mo Leen.

These people could not be left alive!

"Yes, Miss—" the Tianlong Special Guard quickly responded.

Mo Leen and Gu Jin got into the car. Even in the enclosed cabin, they could not block out the sounds of gunfire from outside.

The intense noise slightly soothed Mo Leen’s heart, which was filled with panic, fear, and despair.

Half an hour later.

Dozens of luxury cars slowly drove away.

Hong Kong.

An austere and dignified mansion welcomed important guests.

This was the residence of Grandpa Nan from the Shenghe Association.

Supported by his subordinates, he stood outside the mansion villa, personally waiting for the arrival of his guests.

Familiar luxury cars quickly approached, and the dignity on this man in his fifties turned to warmth.

He descended the steps and hurried toward the first car.

Gu Jin got out of the car, accompanied by Mo Leen, whose face had recovered but was still scantily clad.

On the way, Gu Jin had given her an elixir, healing most of her injuries. If not examined closely, one wouldn’t notice her scars.

At this moment, Mo Leen’s revealing attire was quite eye-catching.

But Grandpa Nan’s eyes were only on Gu Jin.

He greeted her with a smile, "Miss Gu, it’s been a long time."

"Grandpa Nan, how have you been lately?" Gu Jin’s expression was gentle, her voice like a spring breeze.

At this moment, she was like a younger person greeting an elder.

But Grandpa Nan knew not to underestimate this young woman.

He smiled kindly, a smile he rarely showed to his subordinates, looking at Gu Jin as he would a beloved junior, "Good! Good! Everything is well!"

Gu Jin squinted her eyes and smiled, "I wouldn’t visit for no reason. Today, I have come to ask for a favor."

"It’s unnecessary to be so formal. If you need anything from this old man, just say it!"

Grandpa Nan feigned anger, his face breaking into a bright smile, "My chef is quite good, Miss Gu, why don’t you have a taste, and we can talk while we eat."

"Then I am in for a treat today."

Gu Jin and her companions entered the hall, led by Grandpa Nan.

The relationship between her and Grandpa Nan from the Shenghe Association had to start from Jiulan Hall.

Last year, Grandpa Nan heard that Jiulan Hall in Beijing had thousand-year-old ginseng and personally visited to purchase it at a high price.

On that day, Gu Jin happened to be at Jiulan Hall, discussing the monthly accounts with Liang Xia.

She observed Grandpa Nan’s demeanor and the aura he carried, knowing he was no ordinary person.

If he were born in chaotic times, he would be someone of high rank.

However, the wear and tear on his body were too severe, and he wouldn’t live long.

Considering the potential for friendship, she revealed her identity and inquired if he intended to use the thousand-year-old ginseng personally.

At the time, Grandpa Nan was also intrigued by Gu Jin, as despite her young age, she was the owner of Jiulan Hall.

The two sat down to talk in the VIP room of Jiulan Hall.

Through their conversation, Gu Jin learned that due to Grandpa Nan’s hard work in his youth, he had many hidden injuries that became more apparent as he aged.

He had heard from visiting friends in Beijing that Jiulan Hall had many rare and precious herbs, such as thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and Lingzhi.

The past few years had been tough on Grandpa Nan’s health, and to continue leading the Shenghe Association a few more years, he had personally come to Beijing to see for himself.

Upon arriving at Jiulan Hall, he found that there were indeed many good things here.

Though the prices were high, what he lacked least was money.

Grandpa Nan didn’t just buy the thousand-year-old ginseng; he also purchased other rare herbs like ginseng, Lingzhi, Snow Lotus, and Polygonum multiflorum.
