Jiang Chen was truly hungry, eating with great appetite, to the point he suddenly choked and got up to pour water.

Eventually, Princess Cao, who was bored watching him eat, got up, helped out, poured a glass of water, and handed it over.

Jiang Chen took it and suddenly recalled a piece of literature—what we need is not just the opposite sex, but a soul that can communicate. Sharing the same love and hate, vision, and perspective, and a tranquility that no one else can grant.

He couldn’t remember which book he had read it from.

"Gulp."

Ordinary purified water tasted surprisingly sweet.

"Did you go for an examination?"

Cao Jinse sat back down.

"Examination for what?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.

"A physical check-up."

Cao Jinse looked him up and down, "Really no injuries at all? Aren’t you all elite?"

"Eliteness depends on who we’re dealing with."

After drinking water, Jiang Chen grabbed his chopsticks again.

"Can’t you go a day without boasting?"

"I never boast."

That was the truth.

Compared to other men, the wealthy Boss Jiang could be considered quite practical. Although those foreigners last night were indeed elite, how about a fair fight?

Cao Jinse ignored him, seriously said: "It’s best to get a comprehensive check-up. Many people seem fine after being hit by a car, moving around freely, but their internal organs may be seriously damaged."

Saying unscathed is actually inaccurate. Although there were no external injuries, when Jiang Chen got up to shower just now, he found many bruises on his body.

But bruises are just bruises; no matter how well-trained those foreigners were, there’s no way their punches and kicks could compare to a car.

Unless you’re a freak like Lan Peizhi.

That "Sword Comes" technique was truly stunning!

There’s a saying in Martial Arts: Train the muscles, bones, and skin outside, train a breath inside.

Many of the world’s scenes can only be seen from a high position.

Yes.

As expected.

Lan Peizhi’s ability might have broken through the limits of the Outer Family, climbing towards Inner Family Grandmaster status.

Otherwise, where does such explosive power come from in her graceful figure?

It’s not scientific.

"I went to the hospital last night."

Of course.

Even though his whole body was "sore and delightful," Jiang Chen didn’t intend to disclose it. It wasn’t lying; it was a kind concealment, no need to make the other party worry.

Cao Jinse was silent for a moment, looking at the calm-looking man, "I heard you sacrificed a bodyguard?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen responded.

Cao Jinse offered no comfort, but said: "I can help you apply for national compensation."

Princess Cao’s gentleness is like silent rain.

Once again, Jiang Chen smiled, cooperatively responding: "I’m grateful, but let’s not add to the state’s burden. Besides, he wasn’t from Shen Zhou."

"But he sacrificed for Shen Zhou’s interests."

Cao Jinse followed up, not insisting. She knew his character; he wouldn’t mistreat the family of the fallen.

"How’s it going?"

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"Last night’s attackers entered with false passports, and from what we’ve found, the earliest one entered half a month ago."

"False passports?"

There’s an internet joke saying Shen Zhou is a forbidden zone for mercenaries. It’s a bit exaggerated, just many things can’t be exposed to ordinary people, like last night’s drama, the public will never know. But this statement reflects Shen Zhou’s law enforcement and control to some extent.

There’s no 100% safe place in the world, but frankly speaking, Shen Zhou is indeed one of the safest areas in the world. One or two are fine, but for so many to enter freely with false passports is a bit unbelievable.

Noticing Jiang Chen’s gaze, Cao Jinse continued: "Actually, they’re not really false passports; they actually used other people’s passports, assuming their identities."

"Currently, tracing indicates those whose identities were assumed are all foreign workers in Shen Zhou, each working in different companies."

"Have you questioned those whose identities were assumed?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Before the criminals entered, all those foreign nationals whose identities were assumed had left the country. Otherwise, the criminals couldn’t have entered so openly without detection." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Perfect fit.

"Truly a massive organization." Jiang Chen marveled.

Cao Jinse nodded.

Based on current information, the plan’s inception could be traced back a long, long time ago.

Clearly, those who acted were suspicious, showing that even those foreign workers coming to Shen Zhou had issues.

Spy wars have always been hidden under the peaceful surface, a war of the new era.

And most foreign individuals working in The East belong to high-level talents.

How grand a scale?

How vast an organizational structure?

"There was too little time. Next, there will be thorough investigations into those companies. They must have other accomplices lurking."

"There definitely are, but they might not be in those companies. Plus, people in those companies without issues now can’t guarantee that they won’t engage in similar ’work’ when tempted by profit or threatened by violence."

Hearing this, Cao Jinse gently sighed, her brows unconsciously furrowing, "You’re right, the flames of discontent are hard to extinguish."

"There is a way."

Jiang Chen casually said: "Shut down all foreign and joint venture companies, do not allow foreigners to enter."

Cao Jinse immediately rolled her eyes at him.

She obviously understood this guy was exercising his sense of humor again.

Following this, wouldn’t be like rolling back history, returning to the period of isolation?
