"Medicine King Chen, could you take a look at Mr. Hua's illness?"
As soon as Chen Peiru entered, Lin Zhenggang and two others immediately approached him anxiously.
Chen Peiru was astonished; he had never seen the Family Heads of the Four Great Aristocratic Families like this. He instantly felt that the patient's identity must be extraordinary and hurried to the bedside to check.
"This..." After the check, Chen Peiru's brows were deeply furrowed.
"How is it? How is my dad's condition?" Hua Feng'er asked anxiously.
"Ah!" Chen Peiru sighed and shook his head slightly, "I am not skilled enough in my art. I only know this gentleman's condition is serious, with internal damage, but, I can't discern the source of the illness, I'm truly sorry!"
"This... Medicine King Chen, aren't you the Medicine King of Dingjing? Even you can't figure it out?" Lin Zhenggang exclaimed in astonishment.
Chen Peiru said with a wry smile, "What Medicine King, I'm no longer deserving of this title. Not only did I fail to diagnose the fake medicine, but I also didn't figure out my old friend's illness. It was a young man who helped cure my friend! ... That's right, the young man who treated my friend has much stronger medical skills than I do. Perhaps he can help this gentleman!"
"Who? Bring him here immediately!" Lin Zhenggang said urgently.
Chen Peiru shook his head again, "I've only met that young man once and am not very familiar with him. However, I can give you his name; you can try to find him!"
"What's his name?" Hua Feng'er asked with an anxious face, as Hua Zhiqiang looked on with anticipation.
"His name is Jiang Chen, a young man in his twenties, with the appearance of..." Chen Peiru gave the name and then described Jiang Chen's appearance.
"Him?! How is that possible!" Hua Feng'er shouted in surprise.
Lin Zhenggang's expression darkened, "Impossible, how could he know how to treat illnesses, he's just a live-in son-in-law!"
"Live-in son-in-law? I heard he was Gong Family's son-in-law, so he's a live-in son-in-law? With such medical skills and yet he's a live-in son-in-law, this... must be true love!" Chen Peiru said with a face full of admiration.
The expressions of those present all darkened, and Zhou Long spoke with a heavy tone, "Medicine King Chen, since you're unable to treat the illness, we won't take up more of your time, I'll escort you out!"
Grabbing Chen Peiru by the arm, Zhou Long led him straight out of the room.
Once Chen Peiru had left the room, Yue Tianming immediately said with a grim face to Hua Zhiqiang, "Mr. Hua, Chen surely must have been deceived by that Jiang Chen, I don't believe he can cure your illness!"
Whether Jiang Chen could cure him or not, they could not let Hua Zhiqiang seek Jiang Chen for treatment. If by chance Hua Zhiqiang felt grateful, that would be a hassle.
Hua Zhiqiang shook his head slightly, "It's not just you who don't believe it, I don't either. That person looks every bit a swindler! If he can deceive a businesswoman like Gong Lin into marrying him, then he could deceive Medicine King Chen into believing in him!"
"Exactly, he's a swindler!" Fang Zhengshan agreed nodding.
Hua Feng'er expressed her concern, "Dad, why don't we let him have a try? What if he can really treat you? He diagnosed your condition without even examining you and warned you against drinking. He must have some skill!"
Hua Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, a look of indecision appeared on his face.
"Mr. Hua," Lin Zhigang, seeing Hua Zhiqiang wavered a bit, spoke with feigned concern, "if you get him to treat your illness, that would give him a chance to ingratiate himself with you. If he truly can cure you, I'm afraid he'll use this as leverage against you later on."
"Hmph!" Hua Zhiqiang snorted coldly, "Let's not even talk about whether he's capable. Even if he is, I'll just pay him consultation fees. Why should I be blackmailed by him?"
Hua Feng'er nodded, "Right, we'll just pay him. Assistant Sun is already here; I'll have him go."
"Okay," Hua Zhiqiang nodded.
Hua Feng'er took out her cellphone and started issuing instructions over a call.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Chen and his companion headed home. With nothing else to do, and since Shen Xiaoqin had just returned from grocery shopping, the family had an early dinner together.
While resting, the call bell at the door rang:
"Young Master, someone claiming to be Assistant Hua Zhiqiang is here to see Young Master!" the voice of Yan Hu came through the call bell.
Jiang Chen smiled and approached the door to press the call bell, "Let him in."
Shortly after, Xuan Long entered the villa with a middle-aged man.
"Are you Jiang Chen?" The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Chen with arrogance.
Jiang Chen responded indifferently, "I am Jiang Chen. Are you Assistant Hua Zhiqiang?"
Assistant Sun held his head high, "Correct, I am President Hua's assistant, you can call me Assistant Sun. I'm here today to give you an opportunity to suck up to our President Hua, as well as an opportunity to make money. Hurry up and go treat our President Hua. Here's one million as your consultation fee, and don't get the idea that curing President Hua means we owe you anything!"
As he spoke, Assistant Sun took out a check and slammed it onto the table, looking at Jiang Chen with a face full of arrogance.
Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, picked up the check, and looked at Assistant Sun coldly.
Assistant Sun was waiting for Jiang Chen to agree joyfully, but Jiang Chen suddenly moved.
"Shrrshrrshrr—"
The sound of tearing ensued, as Jiang Chen ripped up the check and tossed the pieces onto Assistant Sun's face, sneering, "Throw him out."
"You..." Assistant Sun was furious and was about to shout when he was suddenly lifted into the air.
Xuan Long picked up Assistant Sun with one hand, tossing him out of the villa like a small chicken.
"You just wait, Jiang Chen!"
Assistant Sun cursed loudly, leaving Dingyun Lake Villa in disarray, rushing back to Shenghua Hotel.
"...President Hua, that's what happened. That Jiang Chen is too arrogant, even said that if you want him to treat you, you have to go to him personally!"
Back at the hotel, Assistant Sun embellished the story with added indignation.
Hua Zhiqiang's face grew red with anger upon hearing this and he roared, "That bastard! Does he really think he's someone important?!"
Hua Feng'er was also furious, "Dad, don't be angry, I'll go. I want to see just how arrogant he can be!"
With that, Hua Feng'er got up and walked out of the hotel.
Dingyun Lake Villa.
When Hua Feng'er arrived, her eyes showed disbelief. She raised her hand, pointing at the villa and turned her head to Assistant Sun, "This is Jiang Chen's home?"
"Yes, Miss, this is that bastard's home!" Assistant Sun nodded.
"No wonder he's so arrogant! It's quite a nice place! But it makes sense. Yi Chen's funds are nearly a hundred billion. It's understandable he can afford to live here, living off someone else sure seems comfortable!" Hua Feng'er sneered.
After Yan Hu made the announcement, Xuan Long once again led Hua Feng'er and Assistant Sun into the villa.
Upon entering, Hua Feng'er directly slammed a check for ten million onto the table.
"Jiang Chen, are you going or not to treat my father? If you cure the illness, this ten million is yours!"
