Ling Zhenfei had a few bites of his meal, feeling that this kind of life was quite pleasant as well—cooking for oneself and going to work. The job seemed very tough, but it also made him very happy. This was how life should be.

As the two chatted over their meal, Ling Zhenfei's phone began to ring. He looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see it was still Chu Bingqing's friend.

Ling Zhenfei was startled and suddenly remembered he had forgotten to call her back, so he hurried to answer the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Ling Zhenfei, will I need to wait much longer?"

The voice of the woman came through the phone, still pleasant to the ear but with a slight hint of annoyance.

Ling Zhenfei truly hadn't expected it to be so late, and the woman was still waiting for him there, while he had thought she had already left.

"Sorry about that, there was a sudden surgery, and I've just come off the operating table, so I'm a bit late, I thought you had already left."

"Oh, I see, but you can't just keep me waiting here, can you?" To his surprise, the woman wasn't angry.

"I'm really sorry, just wait a little longer, I'll be right there."

"Then I'll wait for you."

This woman really was patient, waiting even at this hour. She must be very good-natured, I wonder what she looks like.

After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei felt somewhat embarrassed to Lu Meng: "Sorry, Lu Meng, someone's waiting for me and I've delayed them. I need to leave right now."

"Oh, Divine Doctor Ling, if you have things to do, then go ahead. I understand," Lu Meng was very understanding, knowing that someone like Ling Zhenfei was always busy.

"Sorry about this, next time I'll treat you to a meal."

"No need to be so formal, Dr. Ling."

Ling Zhenfei apologized with a look of regret, then left the hospital to hail a taxi at the entrance for his appointment, but just his luck, it was difficult to get one at the time.

After waiting quite a while without seeing a taxi, just as Ling Zhenfei was getting anxious, suddenly a car pulled up in front of him.

The car window rolled down, revealing the figure of a person inside.

"Divine Doctor Ling, do you need to go somewhere?"

Ling Zhenfei recognized the man as Chang Mao, whom he had seen earlier at the entrance of the emergency room.

"I'm trying to get to the Hilton Hotel," Ling Zhenfei explained his predicament.

Chang Mao thought for a moment and said, "Divine Doctor Ling, it's difficult to hail a cab at this hour. How about I give you a ride?"

"Is that okay? Won't it delay your time?"

Chang Mao laughed: "Divine Doctor Ling, what time of mine is there to delay? I'm idle all day; whatever is your concern is mine as well. Come on, get in."

Ling Zhenfei didn't want to impose on Chang Mao, but considering it was indeed difficult to find a taxi, he got into Chang Mao's car.

"Dr. Ling, you're really amazing. I really admire you so much, your medical skills are like those of an Immortal."

As he drove, Chang Mao expressed his admiration for Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile: "Can't help it, everyone needs to have some skill to get by in life, otherwise what will I do in the future?"

Chang Mao exclaimed in admiration, "Yeah, look at me. Apart from fighting and killing, I can't do anything. I'm going to be a waste of space in the future."

Ling Zhenfei took a careful look at Chang Mao and was startled. Despite his face being obscured by hair, Ling Zhenfei could tell that the man had the visage of a celebrity; he definitely did not look like a thug from the streets.

"How old are you?" Ling Zhenfei curiously asked Chang Mao.

"I'm twenty-eight this year," Chang Mao said.

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "You're only twenty-eight, not even thirty yet. Everything can be changed. Do you really want to keep mixing in these circles for the rest of your life?"

Chang Mao, who was driving, was slightly stunned, "I can't help it, I don't know what else to do. I've been with these street guys since I was a kid, and it's taken me this long to get to the top of our group."

Ling Zhenfei understood these kinds of people very well. They have their own social circles, and no matter who it is, they start off by learning from those around them. People around them have a huge influence.

If someone around them is into construction, everyone learns to do construction. If there's someone who paints, then they all pick up painting. But the people around Chang Mao were street hoodlums, and so he became one too.

Ling Zhenfei felt it was a great pity because he could see that Chang Mao was not meant for this kind of life. He should be different from the others; it was also regrettable that he had such handsome features.

"I think you shouldn't have taken this path. You're still young and shouldn't spend your whole life doing these things," Ling Zhenfei said with a bit of solemnity.

After hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Chang Mao was somewhat surprised, "Divine Doctor Ling, do you think I can do well in other things?"

"Why not? I think you should leave your current lifestyle and try something else. Who knows, you might succeed," Ling Zhenfei spoke sincerely.

"Okay, thank you Divine Doctor Ling. I'll give it some serious thought."

Chang Mao was very likely to be greatly influenced by Ling Zhenfei's words. At least, Chang Mao would ponder the meaning of his own life. If Chang Mao really could change, it would be something destined for him.

The car soon arrived at the Hilton Hotel. Ling Zhenfei got out of the car, thanked Chang Mao, and then entered the Hilton Hotel.

The door staff greeted him and after finding out the direction to the hotel restaurant, Ling Zhenfei entered the dining area.

Since it wasn't mealtime, there weren't many people inside, just a few sipping coffee.

After entering, Ling Zhenfei looked around to see who had arranged to meet him and saw a stunningly beautiful and stylish woman waving at him.

Ling Zhenfei knew she was the one who had arranged the meeting, so he walked over to her.

"Hello, I am Ling Zhenfei," he said as he approached the woman.

The woman was tall with a well-proportioned figure, long black hair cascading over her shoulders, and wore a very fashionable cocktail dress, exuding elegance. At a glance, she was clearly no ordinary person.

Her face was hidden behind large sunglasses, and while it was clear she was beautiful, Ling Zhenfei really couldn't make out her features.

"Hello, Mr. Ling. Please take a seat," the woman said with a smile upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, and then she took off her sunglasses.

Upon seeing the woman's face, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt a jolt of recognition; she seemed very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But that was the thing with women; even if you've met them once, you might not recognize them the next time. Makeup can work wonders, completely changing a person's appearance.

However, Ling Zhenfei quickly realized that he had seen the woman on a TV show before. She was a television star, although not as famous as Chu Bingqing.
