A wealthy woman

"Miss, I'd say that man is almost certainly a charlatan."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, an old man in plain cloth clothes sitting in the front passenger seat shook his head and spoke.

Would a true miracle doctor really show himself on a street like this?

The woman let out a long breath. "Grandfather's condition has worsened. Famous doctors both here and abroad are helpless. Whether he's genuine or not, I want to give it a try. It's a last-ditch effort."

The old man fell silent for a moment after hearing that, then finally said, "I'll go ask him to come over."

"No need. I'll go myself."

The woman shook her head, picked up the handbag beside her, and got out of the car. The old man followed closely behind.

Before long, the two arrived at the stall.

By then, the area in front of the stall was buzzing with voices.

The old miracle doctor sat amid the crowd, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

I've hit the jackpot!

I've hit the jackpot!

In just five minutes, I've made at least a few hundred thousand!

"Excuse me, please let us through..."

As the crowd scrambled to buy the miraculous pills, the old man cleared a path for the woman.

Already irritated by the crush of people, everyone flew into a rage at the sound of his voice.

"Who's that? If you want medicine, get in..."

But before they could finish saying "line," they caught sight of the newcomers and froze.

"She's... she's gorgeous!"

"She has such elegance!"

"That figure is incredible!"

For a moment, everyone forgot about fighting over the pills and turned to look at the woman walking into the crowd.

Even Jiang Tian couldn't help looking over, and his eyes lit up when he saw her.

Though her sunglasses concealed part of her face, her delicate features made it clear that she was no ordinary beauty!

And her figure was superb-tall and slender, with curves in all the right places. Graceful and alluring, she was an absolute knockout!

The instant she appeared, every man present fixed his gaze on her.

Even quite a few women looked at her with envy and jealousy, as though blaming heaven for being unfair. They were all women, so why had she been born so beautiful?

Behind the stall, the old miracle doctor naturally noticed her too. Seeing her refined bearing and lavish clothes, his eyes immediately lit up. A big spender had arrived.

Ignoring everyone's stares, the woman walked straight up to the stall. "Doctor, can you really cure every illness?"

The old miracle doctor gave her a mysterious look before his gaze finally settled on her full chest. Rather than answer her question, he said, "Miss, unless I'm mistaken, you often experience tightness in your chest, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, sensitivity to both cold and heat, and weakness in your limbs. Am I right?"

The woman froze, then frowned. "How did you know?"

The old miracle doctor chuckled. "I told you I was a miracle doctor. How could I not have some real ability? Unless I'm mistaken, you suffer from heart palpitations caused by prolonged overwork. You must take better care of yourself, miss."

Behind her sunglasses, the woman's beautiful eyes flickered. Every symptom the old miracle doctor had described was accurate. She had gone for a checkup recently, and the doctor had diagnosed her with heart palpitations.

Though surprised, she remained composed. "Then do you have a way to cure it completely?"

The old miracle doctor stroked his beard and smiled. "One pill is all it takes. Your illness will be gone!"

With that, he took out a pill and handed it to her.

The woman frowned at the dark pill before her, feeling doubtful. Does this medicine really work?

"If you don't believe me, miss, you're welcome to try it right here. If it doesn't work, I won't charge you a penny."

Seeing her concerns, the old miracle doctor continued.

His words tempted her. It wasn't that she begrudged spending ten thousand yuan.

On the contrary, ten thousand yuan meant no more to her than one yuan did to an ordinary person.

What tempted her was that the old miracle doctor had dared to make such a claim. He must have some confidence in his abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have openly invited her to try the medicine on the spot.

Besides, she was confident that even if he did deceive her, she had ten thousand ways to make it impossible for him to stay in Yunzhou.

After some hesitation, she finally decided to try it.

"Miss, you mustn't! Someone of your standing shouldn't risk herself. If..."

The old man beside her reached out to stop her.

We have no idea where this medicine came from. If anything happens to the young miss, how am I supposed to answer for it?

"Uncle Ming, don't worry. I doubt he'd dare deceive me."

The woman shook her head slightly, then swallowed the pill.

Watching her brimming with confidence from within the crowd, Jiang Tian couldn't help saying, "That woman certainly talks big. She must have quite a background!"

Uncle Ming wanted to say more, but seeing that she had already swallowed it, he could only give up.

Still, he remained on high alert. If anything happened to her, he would seize that old bastard immediately!

Yet the result surprised him.

After taking the pill, the woman not only showed no adverse reaction, but even wore a look of contentment.

She felt as though she had just finished soaking in a hot spring. Her body felt wonderfully relaxed, and an indescribable sensation spread through her, as though years of accumulated fatigue had been swept away.

"Miss, how do you feel?"

Uncle Ming asked cautiously.

"I'm fine."

Coming back to her senses, the woman shook her head slightly. Then she looked at the old miracle doctor with renewed hope in her eyes. "You truly deserve to be called a miracle doctor. That was remarkable!"

The old miracle doctor smiled proudly. "Of course. I'm a genuine successor to Hua Tuo!"

Then he looked at her and said, "Miss, I'm sure you didn't come here just to seek treatment for yourself. Why not tell me how I can help?"

The old miracle doctor was no fool. Though she suffered from heart palpitations, what young person these days didn't?

She certainly hadn't made such an entrance just to seek treatment for herself.

Seeing that he had discerned her purpose at a glance, she smiled faintly. "You're right, doctor. I do have a favor to ask. My grandfather is old and frail, and lately his condition has been getting worse by the day. As his granddaughter, it pains me to see him like this. I'd like to ask you to examine him."

The old miracle doctor frowned. "Your grandfather? What illness does he have?"

The woman hesitated. "I can't discuss that here. If you're willing to come with us, I'll pay you one million yuan, regardless of the outcome!"

An uproar erupted!

One million!

Her words sent the entire crowd into a frenzy!

Many of those present couldn't earn that much in ten years. Yet this woman casually offered a million. She must have quite a background!

Jiang Tian's eyebrows rose when he heard the figure.

This woman is loaded!

Even the old miracle doctor, who had maintained the air of an otherworldly sage all this time, began breathing faster at the figure.

One million!

Wouldn't that be much quicker than sitting here selling pills?

His eyes immediately burned with eagerness.

Though sorely tempted, he was also conflicted, as if something worried him.

The woman noticed and asked, "What is it? Is there a problem, doctor?"

The old miracle doctor came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. "No, no. Did you mean what you just said? I'll receive one million whether I succeed or fail?"

The woman nodded slightly. "That's right. As long as you do your best, I won't blame you even if you can't cure him. Of course, if I find out you're nothing but a fraud seeking undeserved fame, don't blame me for showing you no mercy."

She delivered that last sentence with a smile, but its meaning was unmistakable.

The old miracle doctor coughed, carefully weighed his options, and finally nodded. "No problem! I'll come with you, miss!"
