CHAPTER 934 THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL

"Good morning, Mrs Jiang."

He opened his eyes to find Xue Ning by his side.

"Good morning," Xue Ning greeted him with a smile.

There was a bruise at her mouth but she didn't feel any pain at all. She only felt the bliss in her heart. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Let's have breakfast together," Jiang Daoran got up. He stretched a hand out to gently touch the bruise on Xue Ning's mouth. "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt,” replied Xue Ning. "As long as you are around, it won't hurt."

This was the first time the two of them were having breakfast together in fifteen years.

"What does Jiang Ning like to eat? I'll learn how to cook it for him," asked Xue Ning.

Jiang Daoran shook his head. "He won't come to this house."

"Who says?” Xue Ning had a cheeky smile. "He might not come, but what if his wife wants to come?"

Jiang Daoran was surprised as he looked at Xue Ning and had a bit of trouble accepting what she was trying to say.

"No matter what, I'm considered Lin Yuzhen's mother-in-law. And even if I'm not, I should give her something on behalf of Mengqing," said Xue Ning. "Leave this to me, let's eat.”

Jiang Daoran nodded and didn't say anything.

But he was thinking if this was even possible.

Would Jiang Ning come to this house for a meal? Would the food he liked to eat still be the same as the dishes he remembered? Would he have a change in taste? What would he like to eat now?

He forgot what breakfast tasted like because his entire mind was filled with these thoughts.

It was just one day, but Jiang Ning could clearly feel the changes in the north.

At least for the moment, the north had become fairly clean and stable, regardless of whether you were talking about the legal circle or the illegal circle.

Those people should know by now that they hadn't been wiped out not because they didn't have issues. They just got lucky and hadn't become Jiang Ning's target.

But if they dared to do such things again, Jiang Ning didn't even have to do anything and the three supremely powerful families would make them regret it.

Back at the north branch office of Lin Group.

Li Dong's head was starting to hurt.

Before 10AM, the number of people who came to strike a deal with Lin Group was long enough to fill the next two streets from the office.

The biggest problem was that Lin Group wasn't involved in most of the industries that these people came from. There were even industries that he had never even heard of. Yet these people were still willing to work with Lin Group even if Lin Group was only going to invest $1 in it.

But of course, Li Dong also knew where Lin Group's future was headed. Jiang Ning had told him that Lin Group was going to have a hand in all sorts of industries to build a much larger and more

powerful corporate empire than Linglong Group used to be.

"Brother Ning, how should we choose?"

He really couldn't figure it out, so he decided to ask Jiang Ning to make the decision instead.

But Jiang Ning just rolled his eyes. "If you have to ask me about something so small like this, won't you feel terribly guilty when you receive your salary?"

Li Dong had no choice but to walk away again.

Jiang Ning was preparing to return to Donghai. He had settled the problem in the north and he didn't want to stay here any longer. He was going back to feed his hungry little wife, and this time he was definitely feeding her.

Lin Yuzhen was already preparing the celebratory dinner.

Jiang Ning didn't wait around any longer and went straight to the airport to take a flight back to Donghai. He couldn't even be bothered to leave any instructions behind and left everything to the office to handle.

They had to work as much as he paid them after all.

Meanwhile.

The blinds around the little tea pavilion in the outskirts of the city had been flung aside to reveal the old and broken tea table inside.

Pang Feiyan was kneeling on the ground. All his limbs had been broken cruelly and his entire body was covered with blood.

"Just kill me!" he panted heavily while smiling coldly. He didn't intend to admit defeat at all. "I've secretly kept one page for myself and that makes you very angry, doesn't it? HAHAHA!"

"The Jiang family has a third page and I kept that a secret too! But so what? I wanted to betray you and replace you! So what?!”

His Lordship was standing in front of him with a blank mask on his face. It was impossible to see his expression, but his eyes were clearly getting more and more cloudy.

He looked at the technique manual that he found on Pang Feiyan and calmly said, "You will soon know the price of betraying me."
