Tears welled in Lu Chengwen's eyes as he gripped Zhao Gang by the collar with both hands. "I've already died six times. This time, I plan to lie low until the end. I have to make it to the end."

How could Zhao Gang possibly understand? "Young Master Lu, you should probably speak Chinese."

Lu Chengwen wrapped his arms tightly around the idiot's neck, gritting his teeth. "Brother, as long as you handle this well, I think a new sports car recently arrived in my garage. I'll give it to you."

"But that's a Porsche!"

"It's yours."

Wiping away tears, Zhao Gang clasped his hands in salute. "Heaven and earth may be dear, but neither is dearer than Young Master Lu. The heavens may be high and the earth thick, but neither compares to the depth of Young Master Lu's kindness. From this day onward, Zhao Gang's body is Young Master Lu's body, and Zhao Gang's life is Young Master Lu's life..."

"Stop yapping. Go prepare some gifts for visiting a patient, get the car out, and I'm going to see my god-grandfather."

"Yes, boss!"

Chen Manor.

Lu Chengwen entered Old Master Chen's hospital room, set down the gifts, and exchanged a few pleasantries with him.

Just as he was thinking of an excuse to leave, the butler came in to report, "Master, the Eldest Daughter of the Xu Family has arrived. Young Master Huan has returned as well, and he brought someone with him. He says he's a Divine Doctor."

Chen Qiushou was taken aback. "Isn't Xue Jiao already a renowned medical expert? Why did Xiao Huan bring some Divine Doctor too? Fine, let them all come in."

Lu Chengwen's heart skipped a beat. What the hell!?

Damn System, are you screwing with me? I can't even avoid this!?

This is obviously supposed to happen later in the plot!

Xu Xuejiao fails to treat him, Old Master Chen is on the verge of death, then Long Aotian steps in to help. Xu Xuejiao is awestruck by his superb medical skills and secretly falls for him.

Old Master Chen is moved to tears by gratitude, and only then does it lead to a romance between Long Aotian, the Chen Family's eldest daughter Chen Mengyun, and the Xu Family's talented daughter Xu Xuejiao...

This plot has nothing to do with me!

Why the hell am I here? You won't even give me time to run away?

Lu Chengwen hurriedly got to his feet. "God-grandfather, get some good rest. Something's come up at my company, so I'll be going now."

"Mm... don't leave."

Damn it.

Old Master Chen liked Lu Chengwen far too much!

But Lu Chengwen did not have much affection for him.

According to the plot, Lu Chengwen would later exploit Old Master Chen's trust to screw over the Chen Family once.

Then Long Aotian would emerge out of nowhere, save the Chen Family, and punish him again.

But before that, Old Master Chen truly trusted him.

Of course. If he did not trust him, how could Lu Chengwen possibly trick him?

And if Lu Chengwen did not trick him, how would Long Aotian have a reason to cripple him?

If Long Aotian did not cripple him, how could he win Xu Xuejiao and Chen Mengyun's hearts?

The protagonist needed to pick up girls, after all!

As a classic Villain, what was wrong with you, Lu Chengwen, contributing a little to the protagonist's grand quest to pick up girls? What! Was! Wrong!?

I refuse!

Lu Chengwen roared inwardly!

I'm going to defy fate and change my destiny!

My fate is mine, not Heaven's!

Let me see if there's a back door I can sneak out through...

Old Master Chen held Lu Chengwen's hand. Lu Chengwen forced a smile as he tried hard to push it away. "Grandpa Chen, you'll be fine. I really have to go, let go..."

Taking advantage of an angle where no one could see, Lu Chengwen smacked the old man's hand repeatedly. "Let go, let go, let go already. Why aren't you letting go..."

By then, Xu Xuejiao had already entered.

With a stern face, she said coldly, "Lu Chengwen, Grandpa Chen likes you the most. You've only been here five minutes and you're already clamoring to leave. Don't you have any conscience?"

Lu Chengwen saw Xu Xuejiao.

He also saw Chen Mohuan walking in with Long Aotian.

The moment Long Aotian saw Lu Chengwen, he narrowed his eyes, hatred sinking deep into his bones.

Right, that's how it should be. A Villain has to make people's teeth itch with hatred the moment they lay eyes on him.

Lu Chengwen glanced at Xu Xuejiao.

Oh...

What a perfect little beauty!

She was petite but well-proportioned. Her clever, adorable features were exquisite beyond compare. Most importantly, despite her tiny frame, her chest was astonishingly full, turbulent and fierce...

She was wearing a JK uniform, making her look youthful and captivating. The white cotton knee-high socks on her slender calves were especially tempting!

Xu Xuejiao gently greeted Grandpa Chen, then began examining the cause of his illness.

This little girl never grew taller, she just developed all in her chest. She'll definitely be trouble in the future!

Tsk, tsk, there's plenty to look at! Definitely plenty to look at! And she's a little beauty who likes uniforms!

Xu Xuejiao turned around and glared at him.

"What did you say?"

"Huh? I didn't say anything!"

"You did! You filthy pervert!"

Chen Mohuan hurriedly said, "Xue Jiao, what are you doing? Young Master Lu didn't say anything."

Xu Xuejiao froze. Was I hallucinating?

She shot Lu Chengwen a glare, then turned back and continued examining Grandpa Chen.

Oh my, she's sticking her butt out! What a charming little curve!

A little beauty with such a hot body, and she knows how to wear uniforms! If someone got behind her and had some fun, that'd be heaven! Tsk, tsk, Long Aotian is damn lucky!

Xu Xuejiao turned around again and glared furiously at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

Xu Xuejiao slowly looked at the others. What's going on? Everyone looks like they didn't hear his nonsense at all!

And... the voice really didn't sound like it came out normally. Could it be his inner thoughts?

While Lu Chengwen was fantasizing about Xu Xuejiao, he suddenly felt a chill down the back of his neck. Turning around, he saw Long Aotian staring at him.

Xu Xuejiao sensed that something strange was going on, but no one would believe her if she said it aloud, would they?

After finishing her examination, Xu Xuejiao smiled. "Grandpa Chen, it's only a few blocked blood vessels. I'll clear them with silver needles, so just relax!"

"Little sister," Long Aotian said, "I'm afraid it isn't that simple."

Xu Xuejiao stood and looked at Long Aotian. "Who are you?"

Chen Mohuan immediately introduced him. "Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is my good friend, Long Aotian! His medical skills are exceptional, so I specifically brought him here to treat Grandpa."

Xu Xuejiao's face hardened. "I know every famous doctor in Northern Country. I've never heard of some young Divine Doctor named Long Aotian. Grandpa's health is of utmost importance. Brother Mohuan, don't trust strangers so casually."

"Hahaha!" Long Aotian said. "Little sister, true masters do not show themselves, and those who show themselves are not true masters. Don't underestimate people."

Xu Xuejiao was about to speak when she heard Lu Chengwen's inner thoughts:

That's right, this is the rhythm. Keep going!

You'll turn Grandpa Chen, who's already half-dead, into someone completely dead and impossible to revive, then the heroic Long Aotian will step in to save him!

This early confrontation between you two is merely the prelude to flirting. Later, you'll secretly fall for him and willingly join his harem. You and Leng Qingqiu can be good sisters!

Xu Xuejiao turned to look at Lu Chengwen, her face pale with fury.

What the hell!?

My medical skills will go wrong!? I'll treat Grandpa Chen until he's completely dead and impossible to revive?

And I'm supposed to join that loudmouthed bastard's harem? Together with Leng Qingqiu!?

What the hell is Leng Qingqiu? That stuck-up face of hers is irritating just to look at. I'd join a harem with her?

"Shut your mouth!"

Lu Chengwen was dumbfounded. So was everyone else.

Lu Chengwen pointed at Long Aotian. "He's over there."

"I'm talking about you!"

Lu Chengwen was nearly in tears. "I haven't said a damn thing! Ask everyone!"

Long Aotian laughed heartily. "Little sister, I'm afraid that in all of Northern Country—no, in all of China—apart from me, Long Aotian, no one can cure the old master's illness."

Xu Xuejiao was about to be driven mad by the two of them.

One kept muttering endlessly in his head, while the other kept rambling on sarcastically beside her.

They were both equally annoying!

"When I begin needling, both of you stay quiet!"

Xu Xuejiao glared at each of them once, then focused on administering needles to Chen Qiushou.

Lu Chengwen shook his head from the back.

What a pity! King Wen's Nine Needles is an excellent acupuncture method, but this little girl is being too cautious. She avoided two major acupoints, and that oversight will make Grandpa Chen wave goodbye to the King of Hell.

Just wait for Long Aotian to save him at the crucial moment. Xu Xuejiao will be utterly convinced by Long Aotian then.

Ah, what a pity for Xu Xuejiao, a beauty of her generation... no, a famed doctor of her generation. Famous at such a young age, yet she's going to become Long Aotian's harem member.

Xu Xuejiao's heart thumped!

That bastard actually knows medicine?

She really had used a gentler needling method, and she really had avoided two relatively dangerous acupoints.

He could even see that?

When had he become so knowledgeable about medicine?

Sure enough, Chen Qiushou suddenly began coughing violently. His body shook nonstop, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes began rolling back.

Chen Mohuan immediately screamed, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Sister Xuejiao, what did you do? This is a huge disaster!"

Xu Xuejiao's face went deathly pale, but she now knew exactly where the problem lay.

With a grand sweep of his hand, Long Aotian pulled out his needle case. "Move aside, little sister. I'll bring the old master back from the dead!"

"Grandpa is still alive."

Xu Xuejiao said only that, then grabbed a silver needle and stabbed it directly into a crucial acupoint.

Sure enough, after that needle went in, Chen Qiushou immediately eased somewhat, though he remained unconscious.

Long Aotian was greatly startled!

That beautiful little girl's needle just now was completely different from her previous method. She had suddenly become bold, and she had located the acupoint with extreme precision!

Then came another needle. Just as she was about to insert it, Long Aotian kept his hand inside his sleeve and flicked a finger...

Lu Chengwen had been watching the guy all along. Seeing the change in his gaze, then noticing his hand shift slightly backward as he began gathering force...

Lu Chengwen's heart sank.

Damn! This bastard is about to pull something!

Lu Chengwen could not worry about anything else. He strode over and grabbed Long Aotian's arm. "Brother Aotian!"

Long Aotian jumped in fright.

"Huh? Oh... wh-what is it?"

"Nothing. I just think you're handsome!"

"Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Xu Xuejiao had already heard Lu Chengwen's inner monologue and had been startled at the time. But at the critical moment of administering needles, she could not let her concentration falter. She glanced back slightly and saw, from the corner of her eye, the hand gesture Long Aotian was making to cause trouble.

Then Lu Chengwen blocked her line of sight—and naturally, Long Aotian's hand as well.

Xu Xuejiao finished her two needles. Old Master Chen's complexion gradually regained its color, and in less than half a minute, he opened his eyes.

"Xue Jiao."

"Grandpa Chen."

"It's wonderful having you here. Don't leave this time. Stay in Xue City."

"Grandpa, just focus on recovering!"

Chen Qiushou had only just recovered a little. "Where's Cheng Wen? Where's my grandson?"

Lu Chengwen hurriedly leaned closer. "Grandpa."

"Cheng Wen, why does my hand hurt so much?"

Lu Chengwen looked and saw that after all his smacking and slapping, he had reddened the old man's hand.

"It's nothing. Just stimulating the circulation."

Long Aotian was furious to death.

He had not even finished showing off before he was always cut off halfway!

Damn Lu Chengwen, why are you everywhere I go?

Lu Chengwen turned around and saw Long Aotian glaring at him, while Chen Mohuan was glaring at him too.

The old master favors that brat from the Lu Family far too much! I, Chen Mohuan, am your actual grandson!

Lu Chengwen thought:

Good heavens, I should get out of here already. Other than that half-dead old Chen who likes me, everyone else would love nothing more than to strangle me.

Long Aotian wants to kill me because I'm blocking his path to picking up girls. Chen Mohuan wants to kick me to death because his grandfather dotes on me. Xu Xuejiao has looked down on me since we were young, and today, I don't know what medicine she took, but she looks like she wants to strangle me too.

I need to slip away fast.

Hearing that, Xu Xuejiao smiled inwardly.

But when she remembered how he had rushed out to help her just now, warmth inexplicably rose in her heart.

This guy was not completely heartless after all.

At that moment, Zhao Gang walked up to Li Chen, leaned close to his ear, and said nervously, "Young Master Lu, something big has happened. You need to get to the pharmaceutical factory right away."

Lu Chengwen was shocked.

The pharmaceutical factory!? Something happened!?
