Chapter 401: Camping with the Beautiful School Belle

Jiang Wanli seemed to have seen through Chen Nan’s deep-seated plans, his face, originally weakened by severe injuries, squeezed out a questioning look. "Mr. Chen, are you planning to lure the snake out of its hole?"

The corners of Chen Nan’s mouth slightly lifted, sketching a meaningful and confident smile. "As long as we can capture them, the true identity and origin of the enemies behind the scenes will naturally reveal themselves."

For him, Jiang Wanli was not only a business partner but also a key ally in expanding his influence in Jizhou and plotting for the province’s layout.

Calling him half a father-in-law was not an overstatement.

After all, he and Jiang Yan had already become close as Guan and Bao.

At this moment, Jiang Wanli suffered such a dangerous conspiracy, emotionally, their relationship was extremely deep, and rationally, for his own long-term planning and stable foundation, Chen Nan was determined to do everything possible to root out the real culprit lurking in the dark, permanently eliminating this potential fatal threat for Jiang Wanli.

"Then let’s proceed with Mr. Chen’s plan!" Jiang Wanli’s trust in Chen Nan had reached almost a blind level.

In his heart, Chen Nan’s decisions and judgments were like oracles, even if one day Chen Nan declared the sun would rise from the west, he would probably believe it without hesitation.

Afterward, Zhou Long, following the instructions, informed the brothers waiting outside of Jiang Wanli’s awakening.

Instantly, the originally heavy atmosphere melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and the brothers’ tense hearts finally relaxed, a relieved smile involuntarily blooming on everyone’s face.

Meanwhile, Zhou Long also informed Jiang Yan of the attack on Jiang Wanli.

Just an hour later, the anxious figure of Jiang Yan hurriedly appeared in the hospital ward.

She was dressed in a white knitted dress, the fabric soft, clinging to her figure, revealing a slender waist and chest curves, the hem reaching her knees, her movements graceful and lively.

The small round neckline highlighted her slim neck and subtly visible collarbones.

Paired with light beige flat shoes adorned with tiny bows, simple yet playful.

Her legs were long and straight, displaying a healthy sheen.

Her hair cascaded over her shoulders, a few strands falling on her cheeks, her face delicate, with only a touch of lip color, her eyes filled with anxious concern, yet she could not hide her beauty.

Her wrist wore a silver chain bracelet, swaying slightly, the luster captivating, adding a touch of understated elegance to her outfit.

Her every move exuded an innocent and endearing demeanor.

She held back her tears, quickly walked to the bedside, and asked with concern, "Dad, how are you?"

Jiang Wanli faintly lifted his hand, wanting to touch Jiang Yan’s head, but his weak body made it somewhat difficult.

Seeing this, Chen Nan softly said, "Jiang Yan, Mr. Jiang just woke up, his body is still very weak, but there’s no serious concern for now."

It was only then.

That Jiang Yan noticed Chen Nan, joy appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Although her father looked very haggard now, even lacking the strength to speak, she believed deeply in Chen Nan’s words.

As long as Chen Nan said her father was alright, he would definitely be safe.

"Mr. Jiang, you rest well to heal. Jiang Yan and I will head back first. After all, there’s no need for us here." Chen Nan said to Jiang Wanli and Zhou Long, then gave Jiang Yan a meaningful look, and the two left the hospital room one after the other.

"What were your scores on the college entrance exam?" In the hallway, Chen Nan curiously looked at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan’s pure face showed a hint of pride, "I got an ’A’ effortlessly, what about you?"

Chen Nan smiled, "Pretty much the same!"

"Why not go watch a movie?" Jiang Yan looked at Chen Nan expectantly. Although she already considered Chen Nan her boyfriend, the two had very little time to spend together.

Chen Nan shook his head unconcernedly, "In my opinion, we should go camping and fishing instead!"

"Going to a place with mountains and water, isn’t that much more interesting than watching a movie?"

"Sure!" Jiang Yan agreed cheerfully.

In fact, she also liked camping and picnicking, but for her, these activities seemed like a waste of time. She was afraid that Chen Nan wouldn’t have time to accompany her, which is why she suggested watching a movie.

After all, even watching a movie, having a meal, or even spending a night together, could be done in half a day.

A camping trip, however, would at least take a whole day and night.

Just thinking about it made her look forward to it.

"My dad has camping gear and various fishing equipment. We only need to buy some food!" Jiang Yan affectionately wrapped her arms around Chen Nan’s arm.

"Then, let’s go buy the food first." Chen Nan had a doting expression on his face as they left the hospital ward and drove off in the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

They first went to the supermarket to buy some barbecue ingredients and equipment and then headed to Mr. Jiang’s house to pick up the camping gear.

It was fortunate his Mercedes-Benz G-Class had a large trunk. If it had been an ordinary sedan, it wouldn’t have been able to hold so many items.

Once everything was ready, Chen Nan drove for over an hour to a pristine mountainside that hadn’t yet been developed.

The area was picturesque with mountains and rivers.

Chen Nan parked the car, and both he and Jiang Yan got out. The fresh air, filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, revitalized their spirits.

Looking around, mountains surrounded them, their ridges stretching up like the spine of the earth, rolling continuously till they merged with the horizon.

The vegetation on the mountain was lush. Under the caress of a gentle breeze, it seemed like a green ocean with waves upon waves. Each leaf shimmered with the luster of life, as if cheering for their arrival.

Eventually, they chose a spot near the lake to set up camp.

Chen Nan expertly set up a tent and a large canopy.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yan neatly arranged the barbecue equipment. The two coordinated smoothly, occasionally exchanging smiles, and a warm atmosphere spread through this scenic landscape.

Once the tent and canopy were set up, Chen Nan picked up Mr. Jiang’s fishing gear and joined Jiang Yan at the lakeside.

The lake water was clear, and they could see fish merrily swimming around, but as soon as they noticed someone approaching, the fish quickly swam away.

Various unknown wildflowers grew among the lakeside grass, vibrant and sporadically scattered.

Butterflies and bees danced gracefully, their wings glittering under the sunlight, adding a touch of dynamism and vitality to the riverside scenery.

Seeing Chen Nan cast his fishing line into the water, Jiang Yan revealed a shallow smile, "This lake is vast, and since we didn’t bait the area beforehand, catching a big fish won’t be easy!"

Chen Nan shook his head nonchalantly, his lips curving into an intriguing arc, "Haven’t you, my mermaid, already bitten my hook?"
