He Jingxing replied, "I should be the one who's troubled. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Shu."
Shuxin did not continue with the pleasantries and walked to He Jingxing's car. Xue Bing had already opened the car door for her and she bent over to get in.
When Xue Bing was about to get in, He Jingxing spoke, "The mountain roads are not easy to travel on. It's not safe with so many people around. Mister, why don't you wait for us here?"
Xue Bing replied, "No way."
He Jingxing frowned slightly and seemed a little unhappy. He placed his hand on the driver's door and bent over to look at Shuxin who was sitting in the back seat. "Miss Shu, don't we even have the most basic trust in each other?"
Shuxin was silent for two seconds and looked at Xue Bing. "Wait for me here."
Xue Bing did not mince his words. "Miss Shu, The Fifth Lord said that I have to stay by your side at all times."
He Jingxing's expression was a little ugly. "I'm bringing Miss Shu up the mountain in public. Do you think I'll hurt her?"
Shuxin felt that He Jingxing was right. Moreover, it was indeed not safe to go up the mountain with so many people around. She looked at Xue Bing. "You can wait here."
"But …"
"Listen to me." Shuxin's voice was slightly cold.
"Okay, Miss Shu."
He Jingxing started the car and drove up the mountain. Not long after, He Jingxing asked Shuxin, "Is this speed okay?"
"Huh?"
He Jingxing turned his head and glanced at Shuxin's stomach. "It's not suitable for pregnant women to ride on a bumpy road."
Shuxin was slightly stunned. She did not expect He Jingxing to be so attentive.
He Jingxing curved the corners of his lips slightly. He exuded a gentle and refined aura. "Miss Shu, do you think I'm too gentlemanly?"
Without waiting for Shuxin's reply, He Jingxing continued, "The business world is like a battlefield. It's normal to fight both openly and covertly. I'm a businessman and I put my interests first. However, this does not mean that my character is bad. I think it's normal to fight using normal means. What do you think, Miss Shu?"
Shuxin understood what He Jingxing meant.. He Jingxing meant that although he and Huo Yanqing were competitors in the business world, this did not mean that he would be hostile towards her.
The reason why he was on the opposite side of Huo Yanqing was entirely because of interests. It was a very normal business competition.
Shu Xin nodded. "Director He's words make sense." But in her heart, she thought, 'One should never have the intention to harm others, but one must always guard against others. It's never wrong to be cautious.'
About twenty minutes later, the car.
The two of them got out of the car. He Jingxing led the way in front while Shuxin followed closely behind.
The mountain had not been reclaimed. The trees were lush and weeds were overgrown. Some of the weeds were taller than a person. However, someone must have been here in advance because the weeds were trampled to the sides to create a small path.
He Jingxing looked back at Shuxin from time to time. "Can you do it?"
Shuxin nodded her head. "Yes."
"Then walk slowly. Be careful of the withered vines and pebbles under your feet."
"Okay."
The two of them walked for about ten minutes before the path suddenly opened up. The water vapor filled the air and it was like a paradise on earth.
There was a small pond at the bottom. The pond was surrounded by weeds and the white mist rose from this small pond.
The pond was about 100 meters below where Shuxin was standing.
He Jingxing jumped into the pond first. He looked up at Shuxin. "Do you want to come down and take a look?"
Of course, she had to go down. She had to find the source of the hot spring and understand its geographical location.
