"What happened? Why is there so much commotion?"

After finishing the potion, Qin Fang stepped out and noticed the clamour outside, especially around the direction of Wu Jian's ward.

Wu Jian's miraculous recovery had amazed many, and the entire hospital seemed to be buzzing about it, speculating who the mysterious healer lurking in the shadows could be.

Few paid attention to Qin Fang, despite Mayor Wu personally securing a room for him to make his potions. Only a handful knew of this; the majority were unaware, even the hospital director who arranged it was out of the loop.

Without this knowledge, naturally, no one realized that the healer they speculated about was right in front of them, simply refusing to believe it.

Qin Fang was indifferent to such fame; he had long surpassed the need for it…

He saved Wu Jian mainly for Chu Yunxuan's sake. If it were just Wu Ling asking, he might not have intervened, but he couldn't refuse Chu Yunxuan's request.

Moreover, he happened to have a way to counteract the Art of Hemomancy.

If it were another sinister art, Qin Fang might not necessarily have a solution and wouldn't have spoken so confidently.

What's more, it was from Wu Jian's strange illness that Qin Fang discovered the existence of the Art of Hemomancy and the Bloodthirsty Grass, and that someone was using Dragon Country People in their cultivation.

Faced with such fiends, Qin Fang might have passed it by if he hadn't encountered them, but now that he had, he couldn't allow these little devils to keep harming his compatriots.

Additionally, Qin Fang had his own needs for the Bloodthirsty Grass. Having it by one's side meant the enemy had it, so Qin Fang naturally intended to seize it to use for himself!

Qin Fang ignored the discussions of others and did not head to Wu Jian's ward, not wanting to expose himself.

Staying hidden actually had a lot of advantages for his next actions.

Qin Fang arranged to meet Chu Yunxuan and the Wu family couple elsewhere, not remaining in the hospital.

Wu Jian's condition was fully recovered, and discharge was already an option. However, Chu Xinlan was worried about a relapse, insisting Wu Jian stay a few days longer for rest, allowing discharge only once she was certain there were no lingering issues.

"Xiao Qin, great gratitude cannot be expressed with mere words... The kindness you've shown our Wu Family will never be forgotten!"

Knowing Qin Fang's identity and background, Wu Ling realized ordinary tokens of thanks were insufficient. Thus, a sincere promise seemed a more genuine gesture...

For someone in his official position, such a promise was not made lightly; it indeed carried considerable weight.

While such a promise might seem trivial under normal circumstances, it could prove exceptionally crucial at a pivotal moment, with an unexpectedly significant impact.

"Uncle Wu, no need to be so formal. I really just happened to be in the right place at the right time... I wasn't entirely confident beforehand either!"

Faced with Wu Ling's promise, Qin Fang would not foolishly refuse it.

Such a promise could be highly beneficial, particularly in critical situations...

It served as a sort of talisman; with it, as long as Qin Fang didn't commit any outrageous acts in Jiangzhou, Wu Ling could shield him from the wind and rain.

"By the way, Uncle Wu, how's the investigation on those little devils going?"

Qin Fang naturally could not forget this matter. Compared to treating Wu Jian, this was of greater importance to him.

"Their hideouts have been identified, three in total... But which is the main one remains unknown. These little devils have a very tight structure, making it difficult for investigators to penetrate deep enough."

Wu Ling nodded and then shook his head.

Even though he knew who attacked Wu Jian, laying out his net to capture these little devils was tricky.

Unfortunately, these little devils were extremely vigilant and aware of the gravity of their actions, causing them to disappear from public view entirely.

Despite Wu Ling mobilizing significant resources to probe, results were limited...

Three hideouts were barely identified, and they might even be decoys set by those little devils.

"No need for you to worry about this. Just tell me the contact points, and I can handle the rest myself..."

Qin Fang remained unworried. He hadn't expected Wu Ling's men to directly wipe out these little devils or eradicate them completely.

Some of these little devils were adept in the Art of Hemomancy, strong enough to be formidable. Their audacity to harm Wu Ling's son Wu Jian spoke of their confidence.

With Wu Ling's fervent investigation of these little devils, they were undoubtedly aware and would not be easily caught.

"That's no problem..."

Though Wu Ling was somewhat perplexed by Qin Fang's confidence—given these villains were anything but kind—he was concerned Qin Fang might suffer.

Yet considering the miraculous elixir Qin Fang concocted, curing a mysterious disease that stumped an expert team with just one pill...

Had he not trusted Qin Fang's integrity, he might have suspected the pill was intended to counteract the toxin Wu Jian was afflicted with.

He might even have doubted whether Wu Jian's injuries were inflicted by Qin Fang himself...

Nevertheless, Wu Ling did not withhold information from Qin Fang, sharing intelligence he had gathered to better prepare Qin Fang.

These little devils hailed from a certain Japanese conglomerate, not particularly renowned, yet it commanded considerable assets...

The conflict with Wu Ling arose because these little devils wanted to buy a plot of land to build a factory. Wu Ling flatly refused.

Firstly, land was scarce in Jiangzhou and generally auctioned off, making such insider deals rare...

Secondly, the proposed factory was highly polluting, threatening to ruin the metropolitan area of Jiangzhou...

These two reasons alone were sufficient to reject the investment proposal.

Subsequently, it seemed Wu Jian had a dispute with one of the little devils, intertwining new and old grudges, leaving Wu Jian in his perilous state, nearly losing his life.

"Are you really going?"

Chu Yunxuan grasped Qin Fang's arm, clearly not wanting Qin Fang to take risks lightly.

The cruelty of these little devils was evident from what they did to Wu Jian.

But precisely because of this, Chu Yunxuan didn't want Qin Fang to get hurt. Such an outcome was not something she wished to see...

"Don't worry, those people may be formidable, but they can't do anything to me... If I really wanted to leave, they wouldn't even have the chance to stop me..."

Qin Fang pulled Chu Yunxuan into his embrace, offering some brief reassurance while subtly boosting his confidence. If circumstances allowed, he might have demonstrated his Traceless Snow Stepping Technique for her.

"Be careful in everything you do then..."

Chu Yunxuan understood she couldn't dissuade Qin Fang, especially as it concerned her cousin Wu Jian's safety. Naturally, she couldn't prevent him.

"Rest assured... Even if all those little devils were wiped out, they wouldn't harm a hair on me!"

Qin Fang confidently stated.

He had no real fear of injury; he would either perish, rendering any words meaningless, or he would slaughter all the little devils. Even if wounded in battle, he could swiftly replenish his Life Points, recovering quickly, as if he had never been hurt...(To be continued.
