Lisa obviously knew who Jisoo was referring to when he
mentioned "that woman".

It seemed as though Jisoo's heart had been stolen. The demonthat resided stubbornly deep in his heart originated from thatmysterious woman.

"So your plan was to come to Luo Hai and pursue someone?"

Lisa who had previously come here to vent about his unfulfilled desires had now switched to the role of a relationship counselor. He advised jisoo, "So many years have passed. What are you going to do if she's already married or has a new sweetheart?"

"Impossible! She's my woman! I'll kill anyone who dares to marry her!"

Jisoo suddenly spoke in a resolute manner, displaying a huge difference from his normally unruly and uninhibited self. In fact, he now displayed the iron-willed and cold personality of a soldier.

Lisa sighed, "Your conscience is really f*cking obstinate! You're a retired officer, not a bandit chief but you're still talking about killing people!"

"I think you are the one with an obstinate mind. Why don't you change partner if your Little Nini is tormenting you so much?"

Instantly changing from his previously cold and serious demeanor, Jisoo sneered and became energetic talking about it. Sitting beside him, Qianqian was frightened by Jisoo's sudden change of emotions that she trembled slightly and could not help but curled up her body. Perhaps she felt that the ambiguous aura surrounding him was truly terrifying.

Lisa remained calm although the secret in his heart was
exposed. He said, "She's merely throwing a tantrum because she recently discovered an old matter from the past."

"Wow, good job, Little Nini!" said Jisoo as a gloating
expression appeared on his face.

"She should have punished a tyrannical overlord like yourself long ago. I was hoping that Little Nini would fight back until you couldn't deal with it. Now you can't be so arrogant anymore, right?"

Hearing this, Lisa's heart became unhappy and he argued, "Women just have to be kept under control for their tempers to disappear. She's unlike yours, she won't run away just because she said so!"

It was true that men who were in love could be childish too!

Was Lisa actually bickering with his friend?!

Jisoo scoffed before he sneered lightly, "Don't rejoice too quickly. When I get to Luo Hai in a few days and found her, we can compete. again!"

"Are you planning to be permanently based here?" Lisa knew that their collaborative project would start after the Spring Festival.

Since Jisoo could not take too much time out to supervise it,Lisa would need to take full responsibility for it instead.

Nonetheless, the Shao Family would occasionally come over and follow up on matters given that they were representatives of the governmental side.

"Yes, I may stay permanently." Jisoo smiled mysteriously. "Didn't you say that you wanted to tighten your scope? I have to go over and lend you a hand then!"

...

The Spring Lantern Festival

When Old Mistress' daughter Hongmin brought the Hu Family's grandchildren to participate in the Manoban Family's ancestral worship, the Manoban Family Mansion instantly became livelier.

Jisoo arrived on the third day after the Manoban Family's ancestral worship ended. He purposely did so to avoid the East City's Hu Family. The Hu Family had previously asked Shao Jingshan for help when they met with a crisis. However, at the final juncture, the Shao Family in Capital City chose to take a neutral stance. This resulted in the Hu Family terminated from their government position, and they were instantly suppressed to the point that even the Manoban Family did not dare to visit them.

Due to their relationship with Hongmin, and with the
intervention of some politicians, the Hu Family was reinstated later. Hence, the relationship between the Hu Family and Shao Family became strained.

One reason for Jisoo's visit this time was to look for the woman whom he had previously lost. Another reason for his visit was his business collaboration with Lisa involving the oilfield in the Southeast Region's maritime space. He had no intentions to be involved in the elder generations' grudges, and Lisa understood why he had avoided the Hu Family.

In any case, Lisa had never been close to his aunt Hongmin either. No one was more excited than Yuna at Jisoo's arrival.

This lady who had always been the obedient one in the Manoban Family and rarely stole the limelight during any functions could not contain the joy in the depths of her heart. She was eagerly attentive to Jisoo even in front of family members.

Old Mistress had arranged for Jisoo to stay in another manor that was near to the old mansion. After residing in Capital City for long, Jisoo was tired of the bustling, populated and noisy big city.

Hence, the countryside manor was suitable and fitted his playful nature..
