Ling Zhenfei had long been keeping an eye on their movements. To him, they were all just regular people at best, some small-time thugs, utterly worthless in his presence. One of them swung a stick at Ling Zhenfei, who shattered it into two with a single punch to the stick.

Frozen with fright, the man was then kicked away by Ling Zhenfei. He flew into several others, and the remainder swarmed towards Ling Zhenfei like a flowing stream.

With fists flying, Ling Zhenfei darted through them like a butterfly, his movements so swift that none could land a single hit on him. In less than a minute, all dozen of them were down on the ground.

Their boss tried to run but was chased down and toppled over by a kick from Ling Zhenfei. He pinned the man down with his foot on his chest, looking down at him, "Now tell me, can I take my people and leave?"

"Of course, go ahead and take them," the boss said, having weathered many storms in Jianghu himself. People there had spoken of some who were formidable, capable of fighting several at once. But he had never seen someone take on more than a dozen before. Now, witnessing a man who had just done so, when his own guys hadn't even touched his clothes, it was clear without question that this man was extraordinary, not someone he could afford to provoke.

The crowd around cheered continuously, many of them looking at him with nearly worshipful admiration, but this was not what Ling Zhenfei cared about.

"That was so amazing," a girl excitedly said beside Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was slightly startled, not expecting it to be Zheng Tingting. Of course, Zheng Tingting knew of Ling Zhenfei's prowess, so she wasn't very surprised.

"When did you get here?"

Zheng Tingting said, "Right when you were playing the hero to save the damsel, then showed off your might."

"Where's the car?"

Zheng Tingting pointed towards the distance and said, "Over there."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, walked back to the little girl, and reached out his hand, "Would you like to come with me?"

The little girl nodded and placed her hand in Ling Zhenfei's. He took her hand, lifted her up—he felt her lightweight frame hardly weighed anything—and carried her toward the direction of Zheng Tingting's car.

A crowd followed them, taking photos and recording videos. Some, like Bai Ling, were live-streaming. All eyes were on Ling Zhenfei as he placed the girl in the car and then got in himself. The car drove away before the crowd dispersed.

Bai Ling, however, did not leave. She just stood there stupefied, gazing into the distance.

"Miss, shall we go?" Bai Ling's bodyguard asked beside her.

After hearing this, Bai Ling turned to her two bodyguards with a huff, "What good are bodyguards like you, who can't fight or protect? Don't bother guarding me from tomorrow on."

With that, Bai Ling stormed off, clutching her phone and walking ahead. She looked at her fans on her phone, "That man seems to be called Ling Zhenfei, does anyone know who he is?"

This inquiry sparked countless replies.

"He's a doctor, there are videos of him online. It's said he can even cure leukemia, and he looks so handsome in action."

"He's an internet sensation, has quite a few fans, dubbed the modern-day Hua Tuo, the reincarnation of Bian Que."

"Can cure leukemia, haha, some people actually believe that. I think the ones who need treatment are the brainless..."

"Who was that girl just now, his girlfriend?" Bai Ling continued to ask.

"He's from Binyang. His profile doesn't mention a girlfriend."

"What does it matter if there is one or not? Anyway, there are brainless fans crying and screaming to have his babies, like the one just now, getting so excited over a photo."

The internet was abuzz with many different opinions, but none could clarify the situation.

"Talking to you all is exhausting; I'll just look it up online myself!" Bai Ling hung up the live stream and started searching for information on Ling Zhenfei on her cellphone, now very curious about this mysterious figure.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei was chatting with Zheng Tingting in the car.

"Are you really planning on taking this little girl back with you?" Zheng Tingting had already asked what had happened to Ling Zhenfei and was very curious.

Ling Zhenfei glanced at the little girl in the back seat and said, "Yes, it's just too pitiful. If I hadn't rescued her just now, in another day or two, her leg would have been beyond saving. At such a young age, losing her leg would mean living as a handicapped beggar for the rest of her life. Since I've encountered her, I couldn't just ignore her plight."

"So, you're planning to take her back to Binyang?"

"What's wrong with that? Even if Binyang isn't the best place, it's still better than begging and getting beaten every day. Look at how young she is; she has her whole youth ahead of her."

Zheng Tingting was very moved and looked at the little girl, asking, "What's your name, young lady?"

Zheng Tingting asked and then focused on driving, but when the girl didn't reply after a while, she quickly turned to Ling Zhenfei and asked, "Is she deaf, or can she not speak?"

Ling Zhenfei was also puzzled. Since meeting her, the little girl had cried out in pain, but had not spoken a single word. It was possible she was mute, or perhaps the beggar gang had cut out her tongue to prevent her from speaking.

"I'm not sure, she might really be mute!"

"Chunyu!"

The little girl suddenly spoke. Although her voice was very soft, both Ling Zhenfei and Zheng Tingting heard it clearly; the sudden speech startled them both.

"Did you say your name is Chunyu?" Ling Zhenfei asked softly, a bit excited.

"Yes, my name is Chunyu." The little girl's speech was very slow, as if she was not used to talking and was unskilled at it.

"Do you remember your parents?" Ling Zhenfei tried asking.

"I don't remember them anymore; my head hurts whenever I try to recall," Chunyu said softly.

"How did your leg get broken?"

"They broke it. If I hadn't pretended to be mute, they probably would have cut off my tongue as well," Chunyu recounted, tears inevitably falling down as she brought up painful memories.

Ling Zhenfei quickly stroked her head to comfort her, "Don't worry, from now on, you're my sister. No one will be able to bully you. My name is Ling Zhenfei, and you'll be my sister, Ling Chunyu."

"Brother!" Chunyu called out softly, her face showing a hint of shyness, but more than that, there was happiness.

"Oh, good girl," Ling Zhenfei replied happily. He had always been alone and felt very lonely. Now, it seemed, he finally had a sister.

Zheng Tingting quickly drove into a villa district. She knew that Zheng Tingting's family was wealthy, but she hadn't expected them to be this wealthy. This villa district was located within the city in Provincial City, where the land was worth its weight in gold. To have so many detached villas there, their value must be frighteningly high.

The car pulled up directly in front of a villa. Since they had already called ahead, Zheng Yuhai was already waiting to greet them at the entrance.

As soon as Ling Zhenfei got out of the car, Zheng Yuhai came up and shook his hand, "Young Master Ling, we meet again."
