The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 355: Having Breakfast with the King

"Miss, we’ve entered international waters, but it seems we are being followed."

The speedboat sliced through the pitch-dark sea, its engines roaring.

Yet, even with such loud noise, it didn’t affect Vermilion Bird’s perceptiveness.

From time to time, ripples appeared on the water’s surface, clearly indicating that someone was tracking them.

Such people were commonly known as ’Water Sharks,’ with very keen movements in the water and strong anti-surveillance capabilities.

"Could it be the Blackwater people?" Seth made a move to grab a gun.

"Let’s not scare them off; our goal is to retrieve the goods tomorrow."

Jiang Man remained as calm as still water, squinting her eyes and glancing at the water surface.

Those ripples disappeared, seemingly hiding for a brief moment.

"Lose them," Jiang Man ordered indifferently.

Seth took charge of steering, holding the wheel with a dashing grip and pushing the throttle to its maximum.

His other hand manipulated the control lever.

The already swift speedboat was like a passing giant shark, raising thousands of waves.

The Water Sharks from the peacekeeping forces had their sight blocked by the successive waves.

Even their radars were obstructed.

By the time they reacted, the speedboat was long gone without a trace.

...

When Jiang Man and her group returned to the Sailboat Hotel, it was nearing dawn.

After the last stretch of darkness before dawn passed.

Snap—

The sky brightened.

They reached the VIP elevator, and Vermilion Bird pressed the button with eyes full of caution.

The moment the elevator doors opened, seeing someone inside, her alertness heightened.

Fortunately, the two men inside were not Blackwater Pirates, just hotel guests.

"The King has stated, whoever can cure the Prince’s infertility will be rewarded with six hundred million!"

"A piece of cloth on my head, the richest under heaven, tsk tsk, such an exorbitant consultation fee, who wouldn’t be tempted?"

"It’s said that recently, renowned doctors from all over the world have been flocking here, even those unfamiliar with reproductive medicine are trying their luck."

"Isn’t there a Divine Doctor named Man? Why doesn’t the King invite him?"

The conversations of the two individuals gradually faded as they walked away.

Jiang Man frowned slightly.

Once the three returned to the presidential suite, Vermilion Bird commented, "No wonder the hotel is filled; most of them are renowned doctors from around the world." freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Strange, why didn’t the Alliance receive an invitation?" Seth pondered, rubbing his chin.

Wu Yingfan had just been about to sleep as dawn approached, relieved by the news of Jiang Man’s safe return, but he was soon awakened by their conversation.

"Aren’t you tired? You haven’t slept all night, why don’t you go catch some sleep now?"

Wu Yingfan stretched, yawning continuously.

Jiang Man climbed the stairs, her voice steady, "I’ll nap for an hour, wake me up in an hour."

"Yes," Vermilion Bird nodded respectfully.

After speaking, she walked towards the dining room, pulled out a chair, and sat down, leaning against the back of the chair and closing her eyes.

Seeing this, Seth said nothing more, taking a few steps before being stopped.

Wu Yingfan grabbed her, "What were you two just chatting about? What future orders?"

"Well," Seth told him about the conversation they had overheard in the elevator.

Upon hearing about the six hundred million, Wu Yingfan’s eyes sparkled.

Though he was not short of money, he loved making it.

For some reason, he enjoyed the process of making money immaterially; the more, the better.

"Doesn’t Sister Man have any ideas about this?" Wu Yingfan jokingly elbowed Seth, smiling.

Seth furrowed her eyebrows, shaking her head, "The Alliance Hierarch made no statement; the urgent task is to retrieve the Lu family’s goods."

"That’s just peanuts." Wu Yingfan pouted.

"The peacekeeping forces are here, right? Definitely no problem."

"Master Wu, you better not get any twisted ideas or think about getting involved in treating the Prince’s condition before we have retrieved the goods."

"Understood..." Wu Yingfan gestured ’OK’ with his hand.

Is this a hard job to handle?

...

An hour later, Vermilion Bird timely woke Jiang Man.

Jiang Man instructed Vermilion Bird to call the reception to order some breakfast.

She entered the bathroom, refreshed herself thoroughly, and immediately felt invigorated.

A major reason behind successful people’s excellence is their superior physical stamina, beyond ordinary endurance, and their need for less sleep.

Many frail people struggle to succeed mainly because they cannot compete in physical stamina.

Now, a popular online phrase describes this as being outpaced.

Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day; the frail might exhaust themselves after just eight hours, unable to do anything else.

However, the physically strong can additionally carve out several hours for exercise or studying.

Over time, the gap between the frail and the strong only widens.

Jiang Man didn’t consider herself particularly intelligent; she attributed her proficiency in all professions to her robust constitution.

Although born with a congenital heart defect, subsequent treatments and various exercises had altered her physique.

...

Knock knock knock.

Just as Jiang Man locked the bathroom door, someone knocked three times on the front door and rang the doorbell simultaneously.

Vermilion Bird had just ordered their meal, feeling certain it couldn’t have arrived so quickly.

She opened the door and saw a middle-aged man in a tailcoat standing there, flanked by several guards.

Her hand instinctively moved to her lower back.

She had a gun hidden there, capable of firing 64 rounds.

"Excuse me, is Divine Doctor Man staying here?"

"You’re mistaken—" Vermilion Bird began to deny vehemently, intending to send the man away.

That’s when Wu Yingfan came from behind, "Yes, yes, this is Divine Doctor Man’s room!"

"This is an invitation from our King, who wishes to invite the Divine Doctor for breakfast."

The tailcoat-clad man held out the invitation with both hands, very respectfully, a cover of genuine gold foil gleaming.

"Fan, what’s going on?"

Jiang Man descended the stairs, her gaze sharp, her tone cold.

Wu Yingfan grinned, trotting over to her side and whispering, "I negotiated a condition with the King; if you can cure his son’s infertility, he agrees to dispatch the royal navy to raid the Blackwater Pirates at sea, not only helping you retrieve the goods but also ensuring they are captured, putting an end to their disturbances!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Man paused briefly.

It would be best if she didn’t have to intervene, avoiding any risks of failure.

"The King said he would legitimize the Alliance, publicly interrogating those Blackwater Pirates to reveal the truth to the world."

Jiang Man was gradually tempted.

"You lad." She casually scrutinized the young man beside her.

She had always thought him incompetent; it seemed she was mistaken.

"Pretty clever." Even she hadn’t thought of this.

"So, you’re agreeing to join the King for breakfast?"
