"What? Jiang Ning, you're actually asking Elder Lu to come all the way to Cangnan City so you can treat him? Have you lost your mind?"
As soon as Su Yunlong heard Jiang Ning's plan to have Elder Lu travel for his second acupuncture session, he exploded in anger.
Jiang Ning hurriedly explained, "Dad, don't get so worked up. I just wanted to stay home with Mengmeng a little longer. Besides, I'm confident in my medical skills. After the first acupuncture treatment, Elder Lu should be able to walk normally by next week."
Su Yunlong's face turned red with anger.
"That's not the point! Do you know who Elder Lu is? He's an extremely important national figure. If something happened to him on the way here—even the slightest accident—you'd be in serious trouble. If his life were endangered because of this, you'd deserve to be punished by the state!"
Jiang Ning scratched his head.
"It can't be that serious, can it? Our country is very safe, and Elder Lu travels with State Security personnel. Nothing will happen."
Su Yunlong cursed.
"Nonsense! You're still too young and too naïve. Do you know how many foreign spies are operating in our country? They steal state secrets all the time, and many important scientists and scholars have died under suspicious circumstances."
He continued seriously,
"Do you understand now? You're no different. Mengmeng told me the government has already assigned State Security officers to protect you. Why do you think they're doing that? Because you've already attracted the attention of hostile countries."
Only then did Jiang Ning realize his mistake.
He had only been thinking about spending more time with Mengmeng and hadn't considered the danger Elder Lu might face by traveling.
"Alright, Dad. I'll call Elder Lu's eldest son right now. I'll go to Kyoto next week instead."
He immediately called Lu Jianguo.
"Hello, Master Jiang! What made you call today? And thank you again. My father can already walk now, and he's looking much healthier."
Jiang Ning replied,
"Brother Jianguo, I wanted to say that I'll come to Kyoto next week instead. Please don't let Elder Lu travel all the way to Cangnan."
Lu Jianguo laughed.
"Are you worried something might happen to us on the way?"
Jiang Ning answered honestly.
"Yes. Both you and Elder Lu are important figures. I don't want treating him to put him in unnecessary danger."
Lu Jianguo laughed heartily.
"Haha, Master Jiang, you don't need to worry. My father and I already have official business in Cangnan next week, so we'll simply visit you while we're there."
"But..."
"Really, don't worry. Even if something unexpected happened, no one would blame you. You should trust our country's security measures. Foreign agents don't dare cause trouble so openly."
After a brief pause, Lu Jianguo continued in a softer voice.
"To be honest, we're also planning to visit my daughter's former university while we're there—Cangnan Normal University. That's where... she passed away."
His voice choked with emotion.
Jiang Ning sighed.
"Alright. Since you're coming anyway, I won't make a special trip to Kyoto. Come see me first, and I'll perform the second acupuncture treatment. Elder Lu should recover almost completely afterward and be able to walk much more comfortably."
"Great. We'll come to you as soon as we arrive in Cangnan."
After hanging up, Jiang Ning explained everything to Su Yunlong.
His father-in-law nodded but still warned him.
"Remember this, Jiang Ning. The more extraordinary abilities you reveal, the more attention you'll attract from hostile countries. If they see you as a threat, you'll become an assassination target."
"I understand, Dad."
Just then, Jiang Ning remembered the strange phone call he'd received earlier from a Japanese man.
It seemed he had already caught the attention of foreign intelligence agencies.
But how had his identity been exposed?
He carefully thought it through.
As "Young Master Dad," he had never shown his face during videos or livestreams, always wearing the Monkey King mask.
As "Dream Dancing Youth," he had even altered his facial appearance.
The principal of Qingbei University and Huayin's planning director were trustworthy and unlikely to leak his identity.
His other abilities were known only to his family.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.
"It must have been when Grandpa Tang took me to Imperial Residence District in Kyoto to treat Elder Lu."
That residential area was probably under constant surveillance by foreign intelligence agents.
Fortunately, they probably hadn't connected him with the incredibly profitable "Dream Dancing Youth" identity yet.
Otherwise, that Japanese man wouldn't have tried to recruit him with only 10 million US dollars.
That amount clearly showed they still underestimated his true value.
After lunch, Su Meng left for work.
Mengmeng soon fell asleep while listening to one of Jiang Ning's fairy tales.
Jiang Ning returned to his bedroom and opened his system space.
The moment he looked inside, he was stunned.
He hadn't checked it for three days.
Now the entire system garden was full of ripe crops.
"The Spirit Rice is ripe... the spinach is ripe... the cabbage is ripe... the Spirit Scallions are ripe... and the cucumbers are ripe..."
