Original subtitles

Your mother won't survive the day without surgery.

Hurry up and pay the surgery fee.

50,000. Not a penny less.

50,000 yuan.

I just got my medical license.

I thought everything would get better.

I told you, stop pestering me.

Hanging up.

Where can I scrape together 50,000?

Is this how it ends for me?

Mom's medical bills haven't been paid yet.

To avoid affecting your credit score, please deposit sufficient funds immediately.

Ye Bufan.

Don't you know you're adopted?

You're not one of the Ouyangs.

Even if you stand at the door for three hours,

or three days, or three years,

I still won't lend it.

Have you paid back the money from last time?

No money. I have no money.

What do I care if your mom dies?

Just wait.

When your mom dies,

I'll burn 50,000 for her.

Where am I?

I am from the Ancient Medical Sect,

Ye Xiaoyao.

Slumbering until now, awakened by your kindness.

Now that you are at a dead end,

yet still hold onto a kind heart,

receive my legacy.

Dispel evil, banish spirits,

and save the world.

This is...

Martial arts techniques,

medical methods,

and metaphysical arts, all kinds of skills.

With these techniques,

my mother can be saved.

I'm still alive.

Unharmed after such a crash.

Those martial arts techniques,

metaphysical and medical arts...

I remember them clearly.

Was everything just now not a dream?

Did I really...

inherit the legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect?

You're awake.

I am so sorry.

I'm Qin Chuchu.

I just got my license yesterday.

I didn't expect to hit you today.

It's fine. I'm not hurt.

Except for being in a coma for half a day,

not a scratch on me.

The doctor said it's a medical miracle too.

Don't worry.

I'll take responsibility.

What are you doing?

I have an emergency.

Go handle the discharge procedures.

Discharge?

But...

the doctor said you need rest and a checkup.

I saved my number for you.

Contact me if you need anything.

She's already dead.

Proceed with the next steps.

Understood, Dr. Xie.

Stop!

I can save her.

If you had brought the 50,000 for surgery earlier,

your mom wouldn't have died.

You can save her?

Are you a doctor?

Move aside.

Sticking a lousy needle in here blindly.

Can't you let your mother rest in peace?

The Ancient Medical Sect and TCM

share similarities,

but evolved differently.

It cracked the laws of higher dimensions

and created new medical techniques from a higher perspective.

Mother suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

For the Ancient Medical Sect, this illness

is nothing at all.

Call the funeral home.

We charge for this time, too.

My mother isn't dead.

Not dead?

Are you out of your mind?

If your mother comes back to life,

you can have my job as Director.

This...

What... what is going on?

Son.

What happened?

I remember falling very ill.

Is there no cure?

Mom, it's okay.

You've recovered.

Let's go home.

You can go.

But settle the medical bill first.

That's 38,900 yuan.

What? That much?

Don't worry. This medicine won't kill anyone.

Prescribe as much as you want.

You'll get your cut.

This is the ICU.

We charge by the hour.

Plus the emergency drugs, that's the total.

Son, what's wrong?

Do you think I don't know?

My mother had a severe cerebral hemorrhage.

On this prescription,

why is there Sendan Xueshuantong?

All these injections combined

weigh over 25 kilograms.

That much IV fluid in under 24 hours?

Director Xie, have you lost your mind?

Director Xie.

The patient sent by Director Zhou of the Health Bureau is here.

He needs your treatment.

Doctor, please check on my son!

Don't worry. I'll start emergency treatment immediately.

Doctor.

My son was fine after school.

But then he suddenly developed a fever.

A very high fever.

And he fell into a coma very quickly.

Don't worry.

It's just a common cold.

The fever is just a bit high.

I'll give him some fever medication.

He'll be fine soon.

He doesn't have a cold.

A fever shot will only make him worse.

Are you the doctor or am I?

If you don't know anything, keep your mouth shut.

Don't interfere with my treatment.

My son was fine when school let out.

But after a while, he started running a fever.

And the fever is very high.

He passed out very quickly.

Don't worry.

It's just a common cold.

The fever is just a bit severe.

I'll give him something for the fever now.

He'll be fine soon.

He doesn't have a cold at all.

A fever shot will only make him worse.

Are you the doctor or am I?

If you don't understand, keep your mouth shut.

Don't interfere with the treatment.

See?

I told you it was just a little cold.

It's nothing.

Doctor Xie, you truly deserve to be the Director.

Your medical skills are superb.

Director, his blood pressure is plummeting.

His heart rate is dropping rapidly.

He is in critical condition.

Doctor, think of something, quick.

He's my only son.

This...

How could this happen?

Doctor, how can you just stand there watching?

Save my son, please!

This isn't a cold at all.

It's poisoning.

What are you doing?

Since you like trouble, you treat him.

If he dies, you're taking the blame.

Who are you?

You aren't even wearing a white coat.

What right do you have to treat my son?

His condition is improving.

How is this possible?

He likely has food poisoning.

You must be careful in the future.

Don't let him eat things from unknown sources.

Are you still feeling sick, sweetie?

No. Why?

I...

What's wrong?

I want ice cream.

Miracle doctor.

Thank you for saving my son.

Here is a small token of my appreciation.

Please, you must accept it.

You're too kind.

I have the money for the ICU now. I need to pay quickly.

Jealous of the reward?

You...

Hello?

Director Ma.

You mean the child with the fever?

I'm here. No problem.

Ah, yes.

He's already cured.

He just left.

What?

There's another batch of kids with the same illness?

Right away.

Doctor Xie.

Let's see you perform.

Kid.

Keep your mouth shut.

What you just did...

counts as practicing medicine illegally.

That is a serious crime.

You could go to prison for at least five or six years.

I'm covering for you right now.

Trying to steal the credit?

You'd better check if you have the skill first.

Doctor Xie.

Director Zhou.

I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good.

Director Ma, your hospital has a true expert.

You flatter me, Director Zhou.

As a doctor,

this is my duty.

These sick children

are all students from Maiqing Central Elementary.

This afternoon, a child suddenly developed a high fever.

The classmates who had contact with him

also developed high fevers and went into comas.

The cause hasn't been found yet.

A friend of mine is sending his son here first.

Dr. Xie, once you cure the children,

I'll make sure you're properly rewarded.

Who are these two?

They are the family of the patient who just recovered.

We can discuss the medical fees.

I'll talk to you outside when I'm done.

Xiaofan.

Son, we have 20,000 yuan now.

Talk to Dr. Xie later.

See if we can settle the bill with this money.

I won't short him a cent of what he's owed.

But I won't pay a cent for what I don't owe.

Make way!

Make way!

Son!

Director Zhou, get a doctor to treat my son, quick!

He has a fever of 40 degrees already.

I'm afraid it'll damage his brain.

Dr. Xie, treat Young Master Dong immediately.

Yes, Director Zhou.

Dr. Xie, if you can cure my son,

Tianda Group will reward you heavily.

You're too kind.

Saving lives is my duty.

Xiao Xie, what are you doing?

Dean, this is food poisoning.

A new acupuncture technique I learned

is perfect for this condition.

Dr. Xie, you really are extraordinary.

Knowledgeable and skilled in everything.

Hurry up and treat him.

How hard can this be?

Dr. Xie, are you sure this method works?

It definitely works.

It has to work.

The patient just now

was cured this way.

Blood oxygen is down to critical levels!

Heart rate is dropping rapidly!

Dr. Xie, the patient is in danger!

What the hell is going on?

Look what you've done to my son!

Dr. Xie, what is happening?

Director Zhou, I... I...

I what? Why aren't you resuscitating him?

That Ye Bufan...

...did exactly this.

Why isn't it working?

The patient's condition is critical.

Make a decision, now!

Xie Haitao!

Didn't you just cure a patient?

Why can't you do it now?

I only have this one son.

If you can't treat him, say so!

If you delay the treatment,

I have plenty of ways to ruin your career here.

Xiaoman, do you know something?

Well, Dean...

It wasn't Dr. Xie who cured the last patient.

It was the patient's family member outside, Ye Bufan.

Can you treat him or not?

Speak up!

I c-c...

can't.

Son!

Doctor, think of something!

The toxin has attacked the heart.

We need to use acupuncture immediately.

Could someone who's free

sterilize the silver needles?

Yes, Mr. Ye.

I don't care who you are, please save my son.

Name any price you want.

I treat patients without conditions.

Disinfection is done.

It seems to be working.

Brother.

You're holding so many needles.

You're not going to stick them in me, are you?

Even if I did, it would be to treat you.

I'm glad you're okay. You almost scared me to death.

Doctor.

Will this food poisoning leave any aftereffects?

Don't worry.

I've already drawn out the toxins with acupuncture.

Although there are still slight residues,

but there won't be any lasting effects.

What a miracle doctor!

Our Dong family has only one heir in three generations.

You saved my son,

which means you saved our entire Dong family.

I wonder if the young miracle doctor would do me the honor

of becoming my friend.

With Mr. Dong's wealth and status,

you must have friends all over the world.

No matter how much money you have, you need to be alive to spend it.

Knowing Dr. Ye

is like having an extra life.

Leave your number then.

How about this?

I just built a new restaurant,

consider it as payment for your services, young man.

I'll arrange the transfer procedures when I get back.

What?

My goodness, that's incredibly generous.

How much is that worth?

Young man, I'll be going now.

If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me.

Goodbye, needle brother.

Bye-bye.

Mr. Ye, look.

We have many more sick children.

Could you please help them too?

We can negotiate the terms.

Healing the world is my duty that cannot be refused.

That's really wonderful.

Young Ye,

you've been a tremendous help this time.

This incident has had a huge impact throughout Maiqing City.

The city's top officials have been paying attention,

now that all the children are cured.

If you need any help, just let me know.

Director Zhou, I actually do have something I need your help with.

Go ahead.

Director Zhou, President Ma,

this is the bill Dr. Xie gave for my mother's treatment.

My mother was admitted last night,

it hasn't even been 24 hours,

yet it has already cost 39,800 yuan.

She clearly has severe cerebral hemorrhage,

but they prescribed anti-thrombotic medication.

There are heart medications too.

The IV bags add up to at least 25 kilograms.

Now about the medical fees I owe the hospital,

what do you think should be done?

First you falsified records,

not to mention taking credit for young Mr. Ye's work,

and you dare to pull this kind of nonsense.

President Ma, please let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

Our hospital has no place for someone with such poor medical ethics.

You're fired.

President, please,

give me one more chance.

I won't dare do it again.

President Ma, I do think we should give him a chance.

Yes, give him a chance.

Fraudulent billing is illegal.

Let's give him a chance to explain to the police.

Please have mercy on me.

I have elderly parents and young children at home.

If I go to jail, I'm finished.

You ask for my sympathy,

but did you ever show any compassion for those helpless patients and their families?

Those people sell their homes and land, their hard-earned money,

trying to save their loved ones.

And you?

You only see them as cash cows to be slaughtered.

Handing you over to the police

is already the greatest mercy.

Young Mr. Ye, where did you learn your traditional medicine?

Such impressive medical skills -

who was your teacher?

I'm not actually a traditional Chinese doctor.

What?

I studied the ancient medical tradition,

my master has already retired.

Such high skill level - so you're an heir to the ancient medical tradition.

Young Mr. Ye,

would you be interested in working as a doctor at our hospital?

We can negotiate salary and position.

I need to take care of my mother,

so I don't have such plans at the moment.

Also, during my treatment today,

I discovered something suspicious.

Please explain.

Maiqing Hospital.

I suspect

that behind these children's poisoning incident

there's something more complex.

When I was using acupuncture to detoxify them,

I discovered that within their toxins,

there exists a kind of negative energy.

That is,

a substance that erodes one's mental state.

You're saying this food poisoning

wasn't simply an accident?

Not only that.

If you treat the aftereffects of this negative energy with conventional methods,

guess which specific medication would be used?

Could it be the one on your bill?

Exactly, the Shendan Thrombotic from that bill.

So Xie Haitao actually...

It's not him.

If he were responsible,

how could he fail to cure those children?

I'm just worried

that someone is creating this negative energy,

while others are exploiting it

for profit.

Xiaofan.

I need to take my mother home first.

About this negative energy issue,

I'll trouble you both to look into it further.

See you later.

Mr. Ma, after work today,

call an immediate staff meeting about this matter.

I'll coordinate with other hospitals and make further arrangements.

Someone's about to confess their feelings.

Quite the elaborate setup.

Since my mother was hospitalized,

Linlin hasn't been answering my calls.

I hope nothing's happened to her.

I'll find time to check on her later.

First, I need to buy some herbs from the pharmacy

to make medicine and practice my techniques.

Pale face, weak constitution -

typical signs of someone who indulges in drinking and debauchery.

Sorry.

I apologize.

How is it you?

Hitting me with your car yesterday wasn't enough,

now you're crashing into me in person?

Why is it you?

Pale face, weak constitution.

Typical victim of wine and women.

Sorry.

I apologize.

How is it you?

Hitting me with your car yesterday wasn't enough.

Now you're bumping into me in person.

Why is it you?

I need an urgent favor.

Pretend to be my boyfriend for a moment.

Hide from him.

His name is Xiang Yuntian.

He's been pestering me lately.

It's driving me crazy. Will you help me?

I already have a girlfriend.

So you won't help me?

Chuchu, you're here.

These flowers are for you.

Wishing you a good mood every day.

My mood was actually quite good.

But seeing you ruined it.

How many times have I told you.

There's no possibility between us.

And I already have a boyfriend.

Stop lying. You don't have any boyfriend.

I brought him here today.

This is my boyfriend.

Ye Bufan.

How exciting. A cliché love triangle.

That rich guy won't just let it go.

Chuchu.

Even if you want to find someone to pretend to be your boyfriend.

You should at least find someone with some class.

Finding someone like this.

Do you think I'd believe it?

Does it matter to us whether you believe it or not?

I am her boyfriend.

What can you do about it?

You're Chuchu's boyfriend?

Are you worthy?

Tell me.

Do you have an eight-figure bank balance?

No.

Then do you have a million-yuan annual salary?

I haven't graduated yet.

Our Xiang family

is a billion-dollar enterprise,

and I am the sole heir.

What do you have to compare with me?

The gap is too wide.

If I were her,

I would choose Young Master Xiang too.

But I think this young man is quite handsome.

He's not becoming a gigolo.

What's the use of being handsome?

A man should be judged by his capabilities.

Can you give her the evening breeze at 180 mph?

You can't.

These are Blue Enchantress roses air-shipped from Europe.

Can you provide her

with fresh European romance?

You don't have that ability.

I understand now.

What you're saying is

that you have no real abilities yourself,

relying entirely on material possessions,

and that Qin Chuchu

is just a gold digger

who only likes you for your money.

I... I...

That's not what I meant at all.

Chuchu,

don't listen to his nonsense.

My feelings for you are genuine.

When you had that accident,

I was scared to death.

I heard your car was badly damaged.

Look,

I immediately bought you a new car.

Young Master Xiang is so generous.

If it were me, I would definitely say yes.

Rich and devoted -

isn't that the perfect man from romance dramas?

How should I put it?

Where the money is, there is love.

Accept him!

Get together!

Get together!

Chuchu,

from the moment I saw you,

my heart has been completely filled with you.

Besides you,

I won't look at any other woman.

Will you be my girlfriend?

Get together!

Hahahahaha!

Young Master Xiang,

when Chuchu had an accident,

you didn't care about her,

but instead worried about the car.

In your heart,

is Chuchu's car more important?

If I hadn't been answering your call,

I wouldn't have had the accident.

I...

Chuchu,

my feelings for you are sincere,

heaven and earth bear witness.

'Yunyun Resort VIP Member Souvenir'

It smells nice.

Young Master Xiang,

is this your sincerity?

I...

It was just for entertaining clients before.

Look carefully at the date on it -

it's from last month.

So you only started liking Chuchu this month,

and stopped 'entertaining clients'?

I don't even remember which woman left it.

This thing in my pocket couldn't possibly be seen.

How did he find it?

What kind of person is he?

Carrying another woman's things in your pocket

and confessing your feelings to someone

is truly ridiculous.

Chuchu, please don't misunderstand.

A friend borrowed this suit from me yesterday.

This handkerchief belongs to his girlfriend.

It has nothing to do with me.

You have quite a wide circle of friends,

lending out your clothes and all.

I hope your pants weren't borrowed too.

Chuchu, please don't misunderstand.

This might be my friend

playing a prank on me by putting it there.

I honestly know nothing about it.

I'd rather not explain what this medicine is for.

Chuchu, see for yourself.

I can only say

that taking such medicine at your young age...

You should focus on improving your nutrition,

or you'll have trouble having children.

Xiang Yuntian,

just leave.

I don't want to see you again.

What?

This is all your fault.

You ruined everything for me.

Let me correct you.

I ruined your bad intentions.

I'm leaving.

Hey you!

You dare compete with me for a woman?

You'll pay for this.

You were really impressive just now.

How did you know

what was in Xiang Yuntian's pocket?

Do you have X-ray vision

that can see through people's clothes?

Take a guess.

Really?

Wait, don't tell me

you can see through mine too?

I'm a doctor.

By observing his complexion,

I can deduce his physical condition.

Alright,

I'm in a hurry to buy medicine.

I'm leaving.

Hey!

Thank you for helping me.

I saved your number earlier.

I'll call you.

I'm getting medicine.

What medicine are you buying?

Such a large amount.

Wait,

I'll prepare all the herbs for you.

All done.

That's 253,000 in total.

I'm sorry,

I didn't expect it to be so expensive.

I didn't bring enough money.

Why are you buying medicine without knowing the price?

How about this,

you can buy less.

I can't have done all this work for nothing.

No,

these herbs are for one complete prescription.

It's useless if anything is missing.

Then let's change the age of the herbs.

Ten-year-old herbs and two-year-old herbs

have a tenfold price difference.

That won't work either.

The herbs I've prescribed

are already the youngest available.

I'm sorry,

I'll come back when I have enough money.

This won't work,

that won't work.

Are you messing with me?

Look at you dressed like a beggar.

I shouldn't have prepared medicine for you in the first place.

You!

So many bounties.

Too bad I don't know anything about medicine.

If I could get this,

it would save me decades of hard work.

I, Cao Xinghua,

have accidentally obtained an ancient medical formula.

Unfortunately, it's incomplete.

Three medicinal ingredients are not fully documented.

If anyone can identify these three ingredients,

after I verify they are correct,

I will offer a million-yuan check as a reward.

Dry celery

Turtle shell

Land lotus

Hill pine

Buddha's hand

Hill plum, oyster, Du cinnamon, soap pod, Buddha slice, strip fungus

Tortoise shell, forget-worry, sand ginseng, sea buckthorn

Angelica

What are you doing?

You broke loser, don't you ever quit?

Who gave you permission to scribble here?

Isn't this a public reward notice?

Why can't I write on it?

Since this notice was posted,

many renowned medical experts have tried,

yet no one has solved it.

Chinese medicinal herbs number in the tens of thousands.

Trying to guess by luck

has worse odds than winning the lottery.

Not just any random person

can come here and scribble whatever they want.

Liu Hong.

What's all this noise about?

Mr. Cao, you're here.

What's going on here?

Mr. Cao,

this poor kid has no money

and is causing trouble in our shop.

He was just scribbling on the reward notice.

Young man,

did you write these two ingredients on the wall?

Yes, he wrote that nonsense.

Mr. Cao, please don't be upset.

I'll change it back right away.

Nonsense!

Apologize to this young man immediately.

What?

Apologize now!

I'm sorry.

Young man, I'm terribly sorry.

I haven't disciplined my staff properly.

I apologize to you.

Young man,

can you really complete this ancient medical formula?

Yes.

That's wonderful, young man!

Please help me complete the formula.

The million-yuan reward

will be paid in full.

I was about to complete it just now,

but your Baicao Hall staff said

this place isn't for just any random person

to come and scribble whatever they want.

I think

you should find someone else.

Young man,

don't go, please don't leave!

You fool!

How dare you speak to him like that?

Apologize immediately!

Let me tell you,

if this young man doesn't forgive you,

you'll be thrown out of Baicao Hall today.

What?

Thrown out of Baicao Hall?

I'm sorry!

I was blind to your worth.

Brother, I wasn't thinking straight.

Please forgive me just this once.

Alright, get up.

Thank you, brother.

Weren't you here to buy medicine, young man?

Whatever medicine you need,

I'll pack it all up

and give it to you for free.

But Mr. Cao,

those herbs cost over 200,000 yuan in total.

Just do as I say.

Stop talking nonsense.

Mr. Cao, please don't be angry.

I'll go

right away.

Young man,

consider these herbs as this old man's

way of apologizing to you.

Please help me complete the Ancient Medical Golden Formula.

This isn't right.

None of this is right.

This can't be possible.

Unless...

Formula completed.

Calculating pharmacology.

I feel like it's going to work this time.

It wasn't easy.

We're witnessing a miracle.

The Ancient Medical Golden Formula is so precious.

I've spent tremendous effort

just to identify the first fifteen herbs.

But the last three ingredients

were impossible to complete.

I thought I would spend my entire life

unable to fulfill my wish.

Pharmacology calculation error.

Please modify the formula.

Young man, what's happening?

The Three-leaf Zhilan conflicts with the previous Angelica

These two herbs cannot be used together at all.

Mr. Cao is right.

These two herbs

truly cannot be used together.

That's why the computer

couldn't calculate the final formula.

The problem isn't with the Three-leaf Zhilan,

but with your previous ingredient,

Angelica.

In the Ancient Medical Golden Formula, this herb should be Atractylodes,

not Angelica.

Though they are similar,

their medicinal properties are quite different.

Atractylodes.

Formula completed.

Calculating pharmacology.

This ingredient in the ancient medical formula is Atractylodes,

not Angelica Dahurica.

Although they are similar,

their medicinal properties are quite different.

Atractylodes.

Prescription completed.

Calculating pharmacology.

Changing to Atractylodes,

though it conflicts with the previous ingredients,

the conflict can be neutralized by Trilliaceae.

On the incomplete prescription,

only the character 'Bai' (white) was clearly visible.

The character after it

was too blurry to read.

I always thought it was Angelica Dahurica,

didn't expect I was wrong.

Pharmacology calculation passed.

Formula successful.

You've discovered a new formula. Save it?

Atractylodes. It is indeed Atractylodes.

Now the entire formula's pharmacology makes sense.

Calculating the pharmacology,

it's much more potent than ordinary prescriptions,

undoubtedly an ancient golden formula.

Young man,

I haven't asked your name yet

or who your master is.

My name is Ye Bufan,

my master is a reclusive expert

who stays away from worldly affairs.

Alright, young man.

You've completed the Ancient Medical Formula for me.

Now it's time for this old man to keep his promise.

Liu Hong.

Ah, coming, Dr. Cao.

Here you go, sir.

I can't accept payment without earning it.

Please deduct the medicine cost from my bonus.

Nonsense!

I promised you a bonus.

Not keeping my word would be embarrassing.

The Ancient Medical Formula is priceless.

An extra 200,000 is nothing in comparison.

You've been a tremendous help to me.

An old friend of mine is waiting for this formula to save his life.

If we had waited a few more days,

it would have been too late.

Dr. Cao,

you want to use the Ancient Medical Formula to treat someone?

That's right.

My old friend has a severe lung disease.

Without this formula,

I'm afraid he only has days to live.

Dr. Cao,

you're mistaken.

The Ancient Medical Formula cannot cure diseases.

How can that be?

Many ancient texts

contain records about the Ancient Medical Formula.

They call it a golden formula

that can be used for malignant conditions.

What that means is

it can help terminal patients relieve pain.

Nothing more.

Medicine...

Dr. Cao, don't be disappointed.

Although it cannot cure the disease,

I

might have some methods.

That's wonderful, young man!

No matter how small the chance of recovery,

please come with me

to examine my friend.

Young man,

what method do you plan to use to treat my friend?

Based on what you just described, Dr. Cao,

the most suitable method for this condition

would be the Nine Soul-Returning Needles.

What?

What did you say?

Dr. Cao,

please drive safely.

Young man,

what did you just say?

Was it really the Nine Soul-Returning Needles?

Yes,

is there a problem?

Heavens!

You actually know what's called

the soul-returning

Nine Needles that make even Death weep.

It's said that those who can use the Nine Soul-Returning Needles

can save even dying patients.

This is the most remarkable

acupuncture technique in ancient medicine.

You're actually an heir to ancient medical arts!

Reshaping and rebirth is a bit exaggerated,

but the Nine Soul-Returning Needles

can indeed nourish qi and clear meridians.

Wonderful! This is truly wonderful!

Ha ha ha ha!

With the Nine Soul-Returning Needles,

old He's life can finally be saved.

The entire He family will surely be grateful to you.

The He family seems to be quite prominent.

Not only that,

the He family patriarch

has achieved countless military merits for our country.

His three sons are all elites in their respective fields.

The He family has tremendous influence throughout Maiqing City.

By the way.

They have a fiery granddaughter

who, despite her young age,

is already the deputy captain of the city's criminal investigation team.

Her name is He Shuangshuang.

Dr. Cao, please drive safely.

Drive carefully. Don't get excited.

He Mansion

Tianqi, it's me.

Dr. Cao,

we've been waiting for you.

Dr. Cao,

my father's condition has been getting worse these days.

Please examine him quickly.

Don't worry.

I brought young Ye today specifically to treat Old He.

This is Ye Bufan, Dr. Ye.

What a talented young man.

Don't let Ye's youth fool you.

The medical skills from his Ancient Medicine School are better than this old man's.

Let's go

and see Old He.

Uncle Cao,

please help my father quickly.

Ye,

please examine Old He right away.

Stop right there!

Don't touch my grandfather!

Don't you know my grandfather is seriously ill

and shouldn't be touched carelessly?

Shuangshuang,

why are you back?

This is Ye Bufan, Dr. Ye,

who's here to treat your grandfather.

Treat him?

Dad, what were you thinking?

How old is he?

Has he even graduated from college?

And he wants to treat my grandfather?

Shuangshuang,

mind your manners.

Dr. Ye is from the Ancient Medicine School.

Ancient Medicine?

What a joke!

The Ancient Medicine School is just a legend,

let alone having such a young successor.

Dr. Gao,

you've arrived just in time.

Let me introduce everyone.

This is Dr. Gao Haisheng,

who has a doctorate from studying abroad.

He not only has unique research in cardiopulmonary medicine,

but has also published twenty or thirty papers

in journals sponsored by the World Medical Association.

Hello everyone.

This time,

Dr. Gao has canceled many appointments

to come treat Grandfather despite his busy schedule.

Dr. Gao,

thank you for your trouble.

With me here for the old man's illness,

there's no need to find other doctors.

Especially some questionable traveling doctors.

Can those roots and tree barks

really cure diseases?

Dr. Gao,

I'm counting on you for my grandfather's treatment.

Don't worry.

I will definitely provide

the most advanced treatment in the world for the old man.

Uncle Cao, I'm sorry.

You know this girl's temper.

She speaks without thinking.

Please don't take it personally.

Since someone is here to treat the old man,

we'll head back now.

Ye, I'm begging you,

don't leave yet.

Mr. He's condition is very complicated.

He's seen many medical experts over the years,

but none helped.

You just arrived

and completed that golden prescription effortlessly.

You must have real knowledge.

Mr. Cao.

Traditional Chinese medicine has six untreatable conditions.

In this situation,

it's clearly a case of arrogance against reason.

It's better if we leave.

Ye.

A doctor should be compassionate.

Mr. He's pulse is chaotic now.

His condition is critical,

hanging by a thread.

If you just walk away,

how will you restore the reputation of Ancient Medicine?

Fine.

I'll stay and take another look.

Old Cao.

Your traditional Chinese medicine has six untreatable conditions.

In this situation now.

It's clearly a case of arrogance beyond reason.

It's better if you leave.

Xiao Ye.

A doctor should have compassion.

Old He's pulse is chaotic now.

The situation is critical.

His life hangs by a thread.

If you just walk away.

How will you restore the reputation of traditional medicine?

Fine.

Then I'll stay and take another look.

Are the test results I requested ready?

Bring them all out.

Dr. Gao, how is my grandfather's condition?

Is there any hope?

The disease is beyond cure.

You should prepare for the funeral soon.

What?

Dr. Gao, can't you think of any other solution?

Yes, Dr. Gao.

You're an expert in cardiopulmonary medicine.

As long as you can cure my father.

No matter what the cost.

Our He family is willing to bear it.

I am an expert, that's true.

But not every disease can be cured.

The old man's illness has dragged on for too long.

Plus his advanced age,

and declining bodily functions.

Even gods couldn't help him now.

You should prepare for his funeral.

Grandfather!

How can this be?

After studying medicine for so many years,

is this what you learned? To tell patients' families

how to prepare for funerals?

What nonsense are you talking?

The patient's condition is severe.

No one can cure it.

Hormone treatments and electromagnetic stimulation

would only increase suffering for both patient and family.

Don't drag other doctors down with your incompetence.

What gives you the right to say no one can cure him?

How many doctors do you even know?

I am the authority on cardiopulmonary medicine.

I am the expert.

Cases like this,

I've seen hundreds during my studies abroad.

I can tell you with certainty,

not just me,

but even Professor Sanders, the world's leading expert,

has already concluded

that no one can cure Mr. He's illness.

I can also tell you with certainty

that I can cure what you cannot.

Haha! What a joke!

This is the funniest joke

I've ever heard in my life.

From a pathological perspective,

this illness has passed the optimal intervention period.

Nothing can be done now.

What can you possibly treat?

My Ancient Medical School is profound and extensive,

something you simply cannot comprehend.

This check in my hand

is a token of my sincerity,

to be used for Mr. He's recovery medications after I cure him.

Is that acceptable?

Even advanced medicine is helpless,

what makes you so confident you can cure him?

I can.

Then I must remind Dr. Ye

that as a qualified doctor,

life is precious.

If you can cure the old man instead of increasing his suffering,

I'll publish an apology to you in the newspaper.

This illness is caused by negative energy,

only my Ancient Medical School can cure it.

Both of you, there's no need for such confrontation.

Tianqi,

since Dr. Gao is at his wit's end,

what harm is there in letting young Ye try?

I'll write you a prescription for follow-up treatment later.

Well...

Fine.

Stop! Don't touch my grandfather!

I don't believe you can cure him.

I'm trying to treat your grandfather.

What? You'd rather believe Dr. Gao

and watch your grandfather die?

For grandfather's illness,

I'll contact more experts from the Medical Association.

Don't touch him!

Shuangshuang, let's talk calmly.

Don't be rude to our guest.

Grandfather is already so sick.

Please stop tormenting him.

I'm begging you.

He was brought here by Old Cao.

Don't you even trust Old Cao anymore?

Grandfather Cao,

you're the top traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Maiqing.

You've treated him for so long without success.

I don't believe his Ancient Medical School can cure him.

Shuangshuang, don't judge a book by its cover.

Xiao Ye has completed the ancient medical formula.

What are we waiting for?

Let's quickly give the old man the ancient formula to save his life.

The ancient medical formula...

We've studied it.

They claim it cures everything,

but it's actually just a nutritional supplement.

I advise you

to stop disturbing the patient.

Did I say I would use the ancient formula to treat Mr. He?

Then how will you gain the family's trust?

The ancient medical school has the art of reading auras.

I've just observed Mr. He.

Let me tell you my diagnosis.

If I'm correct,

step aside.

If I'm wrong, I'll leave immediately.

Fine.

You can only look, not touch.

After looking,

make your diagnosis immediately.

If you get one word wrong,

you'll leave at once.

When Mr. He was young, he suffered a gunshot wound to his left lung.

Although the injury wasn't severe,

due to inadequate recovery,

it didn't heal properly.

In recent years, he has been drinking frequently,

and caught a cold,

which worsened his already compromised lung condition.

His condition is now serious.

Both lungs show thickened markings,

the left costophrenic angle is blunted,

the right pleura has thickened with adhesions,

and there's fluid accumulation.

The upper left lung has old tuberculosis,

with limited mobility,

and the lung lobes show signs of atrophy.

Most importantly,

his lungs show increased fibrosis.

That's impossible. That's impossible.

Well, Dr. Gao?

It matches the detailed examination results exactly, doesn't it?

How did you know this?

This can't be possible.

Grandpa Cao must have told you about his condition beforehand.

You're just pretending to know by reciting his medical history.

Shuangshuang, that's not what happened.

Since you still don't believe me,

let's try another approach.

Let me tell you about your physical condition.

Your overall physical condition is quite good,

thanks to your martial arts training since childhood.

You have a scar on your right leg,

your left arm was injured,

and it aches when it rains or on cloudy days.

How do you know that?

I know more than just that.

Your left breast has been uncomfortable lately,

there's a lump inside - it's hyperplasia.

Also, due to your years of martial arts practice

and poor body maintenance,

you've developed cold in your body,

resulting in painful menstruation,

which occurred just two hours ago.

You... stop talking!

Any more questions?

Old Cao,

this ability to see others' conditions so clearly at a glance

is incredible.

Does he have X-ray vision or something?

Now you have some confidence in him, right?

Don't worry. On our way here,

we already discussed

how to treat Old He.

The patient's condition

seems to have been affected by negative energy for quite some time.

The Nine Revival Needles alone

are not enough for his complete recovery.

We must also use Chaos Vital Energy healing

to treat the negative energy infection.

Fortunately,

the Ancient Medical Sect's legacy already contains solutions,

we just need to find it among the vast amount of records.

Found it.

Inner power gathering, mystic threads forming,

Chaos Vital Energy dispelling evil forces.

What technique is this?

This is the Nine Revival Needles.

The patient's condition

seems to have been affected by negative energy for some time now.

Just using the soul-returning nine needles

isn't enough for his complete recovery.

We must also use chaos qi healing

to treat the negative energy infection.

Fortunately,

the ancient medical tradition already has methods to deal with this.

We just need to find it among the vast amount of materials.

Found it.

Inner power gathering, mystic threads condensing,

chaos qi dispelling evil and negative energy.

What method is this?

This is the soul-returning nine needles technique.

My teacher always told me

this needle technique was long lost.

Whenever he mentioned it, the old man would sigh with regret.

I never thought this young man

could actually perform the soul-returning nine needles.

Old He can be saved this time.

Grandpa Cao, what's so special about this soul-returning nine needles?

The soul-returning nine needles

is the supreme needle technique recorded in ancient medical arts.

Calling it divine needles would not be an exaggeration.

The nine needles summarize nine techniques

that can nourish qi, strengthen tendons, fortify bones, and clear meridians.

There are even rumors saying

it can reshape the body

and bring rebirth from illness.

What a narrow path enemies take.

It's negative energy at work again.

Ye Bufan,

what's happening?

Quiet.

Chaos qi, dispel evil and negative energy.

This negative energy has infected the patient's body.

Unfortunately, ordinary people cannot see it.

Grandpa.

Flashy nonsense.

Are you here to practice medicine or perform tricks?

The patient has passed away. Let him rest in peace.

Step aside.

Old Mr. He's illness has been cured.

Still being stubborn like a dead duck

does it have any meaning anymore?

Grandpa, don't scare me.

Your vision is limited.

It's normal that you don't understand.

Grandpa.

Evil energy is rampant these days.

I suspect

someone must be manipulating things behind the scenes.

Whoever nearly sent my mother to her grave,

I will uncover the truth

and show no mercy.

Shuangshuang, why are you crying?

Grandpa, you

can sit up now.

What's the big deal about sitting up?

I even want to get out of bed and walk around.

Grandpa.

I thought... Grandpa...

Father, you're finally awake.

Enough. Let this old man get up and move around.

I've been lying down so long my bones are getting rusty.

This might be a final burst of energy before death.

Sir,

you should still get a complete examination.

Final burst of energy?

I'll give YOU a final burst of energy with my fist!

You quack!

Don't think I didn't hear you say I was beyond saving.

I just caught a slight cold,

and you were ready to carry me off to the morgue.

Very good.

It seems this evil energy can worsen hidden ailments,

but with proper treatment, one can fully recover.

Grandpa, you should still get checked,

I'll only feel at ease after you do.

Alright then,

I'll do as you say.

I'll get checked.

Dr. Ye,

thank you.

However, a complete examination will take some time.

How about having some tea and resting first?

It's fine. I'll wait here.

Grandpa, take it slow.

Really? I was unconscious for so long?

Dr. Gao,

I see all the indicators here are normal now.

That's impossible.

Not only are all results normal,

but the lung lesions have completely disappeared.

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

I performed these tests myself.

Pulmonary fibrosis...

This shouldn't be happening.

Hmph.

Should I punch you a couple more times to see if it's possible?

Ye,

the Nine Revival Needles technique is incredible.

I wasn't wrong about you.

For the Ancient Medical Sect,

this is nothing special.

Old Cao, I must thank you this time.

You saved my life.

You've guessed wrong this time.

This old man wanted to save you,

but unfortunately didn't have the skill.

The one who snatched you back from the King of Hell

is this young man,

Ye Bufan.

An illness that even Old Cao couldn't cure,

you managed to heal.

This old man thanks you.

You saved my life,

so your matters are now my matters.

You're too kind, sir.

What a pity,

I didn't have time to record it.

This young man used the Nine Revival Needles technique.

Young man, that Nine Revival Needles technique you used...

Come, use it on me once more.

The Nine Revival Needles can't be used on healthy people.

Old Cao, why don't you get sick for us?

Dr. Gao, don't rush off!

Didn't you say you wanted to place a newspaper ad?

I haven't figured out what to write.

Why go to all that trouble?

Thank you.

Mr. He, could you please

make a nationwide announcement for me?

That won't be necessary.

Tomorrow, I'll apologize to the Traditional Medicine Association in all major media outlets.

I'll be going now. Take care, Old He.

I'm doing just fine.

Young man, you need to study more.

Don't send patients to the crematorium just because you face difficulties.

The way you practice medicine,

there wouldn't be enough patients left alive.

Take care.

Old man, I want to become your apprentice.

What do you think?

What? Become his apprentice?

Master Cao, I can't.

I wouldn't dare accept you as my student.

Master Cao, you're highly respected.

How could you become my apprentice?

How about this - whatever you want to learn in the future,

I promise to hold nothing back.

Learning the Nine Soul-Returning Needles

has been my lifelong wish.

In our medical profession, we believe that the accomplished should be the teacher.

Don't worry about age.

If I want to learn medical skills,

then I must become your apprentice.

Shuangshuang, I remember now.

Just now when I was dazed, I seemed to hear

you were preventing Dr. Ye from treating me.

Is that so?

Grandpa.

I was just concerned that Dr. Ye is too young

and worried something might go wrong.

How about this? I'll accept disciples on behalf of my master.

You can become a disciple under my teacher.

Good.

As long as I can learn the soul-returning nine needles,

anything is fine.

Please help me

set up incense burners and memorial tablets.

I want to complete this today.

Shuangshuang,

go prepare what your two uncles need.

Wait, the two uncles?

Brother Ye and Brother Cao are now fellow disciples,

so the three of us will be equals from now on.

You should call Dr. Ye 'uncle' now.

Master Taoist, I've taken care of that He Changqing matter.

About this month's medicine quota,

could you give me a bit more?

You've earned quite a lot this month.

The He family dared to block my path to wealth,

that's their karma.

Be careful in your work,

and you won't miss out on the benefits.

Of course.

The medicine you prepared

is selling extremely well.

Fear of death is still effective,

patients aren't afraid to spend money.

Some nosy kids ran into the neighborhood.

Fortunately, I moved things in time

so they couldn't catch us red-handed.

Once things are properly cultivated,

we'll earn much more than this.

I'm at your service, Master Taoist.

We need to hurry

and try to settle the Maiqing matter

before my senior disciples come down from the mountain.

If anyone else tries to interfere with our plans,

we'll make sure they never return.

Master before me,

I vow to follow the rules for life and never betray them.

From now on, you are my senior fellow disciple.

Senior brother, please accept my bow.

No need to be so formal.

Brother Cao.

Now Ye is your senior apprentice.

From now on, the three of us will be equals.

By the way, Cao,

hurry up and take in some critical patients.

I'm waiting to see your Nine Resurrection Needles technique.

You shouldn't say that.

On my first day of medical school,

my teacher taught me

'Better to let medicine gather dust on shelves

than to have people fall ill.'

What kind of doctor wishes for severe illness?

Shuangshuang, did you see that?

Dr. Ye has such noble principles.

Hurry up and call him Uncle Ye.

Grandpa, I won't.

He's younger than me.

Shuangshuang, if not for Uncle Ye,

your grandfather would still be bedridden.

Hello, Uncle.

I won't let you call me that for nothing.

Take this.

Just follow the prescription

and you'll be healthy in no time.

Thank your uncle now.

Thank you, Uncle.

Xiaofan, where are you?

Didn't we agree I'd treat you to dinner?

I heard there's a new restaurant called Zui Jiangnan on Shili Street.

I've booked private room number one.

See you at 6 p.m.

I have something else to do.

I need to go now.

Alright then.

Let's have a drink together another day, the three of us.

Shuangshuang, drive your uncle home.

Got it.

Forget about taking the medicine if you don't want to.

But I find your grandfather's situation suspicious.

When you have time, look into

where he's been recently

and who he's been in contact with.

If you want to protect your grandfather,

you need to be more vigilant.

Have you heard about that mass food poisoning incident a few days ago?

Stop trying to scare people.

Dr. Ye, I just remembered,

my car is being serviced.

Do you mind if we take the nanny's car?

Uncle, I don't mind.

Could we stop by the shopping district?

I need to pick up a few things.

Let's go.

Tsk, so demanding.

Your driving skills need improvement.

Take it easy.

How will you explain to your grandfather if you injure his uncle?

Stop your complaining.

If you don't want a ride, I don't have to drive you.

Hurry up.

I won't wait if you're slow.

Boss, I've spotted that guy Young Master Xiang is looking for.

He's with a woman.

Who's the woman? Is it Miss Qin?

No, she's driving a beat-up car.

Obviously not someone wealthy.

Good. Keep an eye on them.

I'll send Tietou and his men right away.

Offending Young Master Xiang and trying to run?

What's going on?

What are all these people doing?

Are you filming a movie? Count me in.

I'm a great actor.

What are you looking at?

They're going to fight. Let's go!

I didn't expect you to be so popular.

Just call me uncle if you need help.

Shut up. Stop talking.

Stand back.

You dare damage my car?

Everyone get down!

Hands on your head!

Or I won't be so nice.

Come on then.

I'd like to see

just how 'not nice' you can be.

Remember to hurry up.

They're waiting for me.

I'm almost late.

Shut up.

Brothers,

break both that guy's legs.

As for this girl,

we'll take her back and show her some 'hospitality.'

My gut! My gut is ruptured!

Now that's an interesting diagnosis.

Everyone attack together!

Let's see how many she can handle.

If you're looking to die, come right ahead.

Little girl.

Little woman.

You can't even handle one.

I just bought these goods.

You'll pay if you break them.

Brother Snake, your men are useless.

How can they not even beat a woman?

What's the rush?

They're just small-time thugs.

The real expert among my men is Tietou.

He's trained in martial arts since childhood.

Mastered hard-style kung fu.

Especially his iron head.

Almost impervious to weapons.

If he hadn't crippled a rich man's son up north a few days ago,

he wouldn't have come here for refuge.

That's good.

Brother Snake, here's the agreed 200,000.

I want that guy's legs broken.

Throw it in the car.

Who is this woman?

She looks familiar.

Just a woman driving a junker.

Why bother with her?

Hmph.

I even gave you guys a chance to practice.

I didn't expect

you Maiqing guys

would be so useless.

But that's fine.

The fiercer a woman is, the more flavorful.

That's just to my taste, Iron Head.

Come into my arms like a good girl,

and I'll let today's incident slide.

It won't bend even after all that beating?

Let me see what brand this drain pipe is.

I should have asked you to bring me some.

Look out!

Kid, you dare to fight me?

I'll show you Iron Head's power.

Don't! His head is dangerous!

How is this possible?

I've trained my iron head skill for over ten years.

How could you possibly defeat me?

Having such a hard head isn't always a good thing.

Let's do this.

Let's be reasonable with each other.

I won't hit your head,

and you tell me who sent you.

It was your father.

My head!

I told you not to be stubborn, but you wouldn't listen.

Brother Snake, you're useless!

Hurry up and call for backup!

Get lost!

Didn't you say he was just an ordinary person?

You set me up, kid!

You brought me up against such an expert!

If I had known he was this good,

I wouldn't do it even for 2 million, let alone 200,000.

Brother Snake, don't be angry.

I've checked him out.

He's just a poor guy with no background.

Don't worry, I'll handle it.

What are you doing? If someone calls the police, we'll all go to jail.

Brother, if we fight, it'll be considered a brawl.

Don't worry, I have connections at the police station.

I guarantee that couple will be locked up for at least ten days.

Still want to practice your iron head technique?

No more, big brother.

I truly surrender to you.

Please, let me go.

Your kung fu is so good.

Why didn't you come help just now?

I was carrying things in my hands.

Besides, you told me to shut up and stand back.

This is infuriating!

If he made you angry, kick him!

That's for talking too much and being stubborn!

I'll never be stubborn again!

I was wrong, I'm sorry!

Like fighting, do you?

Is this a place for you to fight?

Cuff them all and take them away.

Captain Wang.

Captain He, what are you doing here?

These guys attacked me with weapons.

They smashed my car.

I don't know who's behind this yet.

Who sent you?

I told you not to hit the head.

What do we do now?

Who's going to take me there?

Look, my car is wrecked.

I have a lot to deal with.

You should go by yourself.

Xiao Feng, drive Captain He's friend.

Oh, okay.

I'm not really her friend.

If you want to be technical,

she should call me grand-uncle.

Shut up!

Xiao Feng, drive carefully.

Don't be disrespectful to our guest.

Hmph.

Do whatever you want.

Tell me the truth.

Where is your employer?

In the alley to your left.

Xiang Yuntian, are you asking for death?

I recognize her.

That's the He family's daughter.

The deputy captain of the criminal police.

Making me go after the He family's daughter

and calling the police?

Are you out of your mind?

I really didn't know!

Everyone inside,

come out. Let's talk.

Bro, your technique is impressive.

You just pressed my neck a few times.

I feel like all my meridians are flowing freely now.

It's nothing.

Just don't use brute force when exercising from now on.

Alright, thanks bro.

I'll take your things to auntie first.

I'm going now.

Who is it?

It's me, Zhu Linlin.

Linlin, where are you?

Why couldn't I find you these past few days?

I changed my number.

Don't worry about where I am.

Today I'm telling you

We're breaking up.

Linlin, what are you saying?

Can't you understand plain language?

From today on, we're breaking up.

We have no relationship anymore.

There should be a reason for breaking up.

Ye Bufan, you have the nerve to ask me for a reason?

You see this phone number?

Young Master Ma just gave it to me.

A brand new iPhone and a triple-digit phone number.

Do you know how much all this costs together?

With your poor appearance

You probably couldn't afford to buy me an iPhone in your entire life.

So, it's about money.

It's not just about money.

Chanel perfume

Louis Vuitton bags

Young Master Ma gives them to me without hesitation.

Within three months

He took me to see the sunset in Sydney

And the coral reefs in Abos.

Three months.

Yes.

If I had stayed with you

These three months would've been wasted in the hospital with your hopeless mother.

Thankfully I broke up with you.

Thanks for breaking up.

What do you mean 'thanks for breaking up'?

Hello? Hello?

How dare you, Ye Bufan

Hanging up on me

Don't let me run into you

Who made our Linlin so angry?

Young Master Ma.

My ex-boyfriend just won't leave me alone.

Good thing we broke up.

Don't be angry.

There's nothing a good meal can't fix.

If there is, then have another one.

Please.

Enjoy your meal.

You can get your package when leaving by mentioning your room number.

Thank you.

No need to close the door when you leave. I'm waiting for someone.

Who is this?

Dr. Ye, it's me, Dong Tianda.

Where are you?

I'm in VIP room number 1 at Zui Jiangnan Restaurant.

The one with the open door.

This is what I call fate.

What our Dong family wants to give you

is this Zui Jiangnan Restaurant.

I'm nearby.

I'll be there soon.

Ye Bufan.

It's you. What are you doing here?

I'm here to eat, of course.

What about you?

How did you end up in a place like this?

Isn't it obvious?

He's clearly a waiter here.

Linlin,

just look at yourself.

What terrible taste you had.

No wonder you had to put up with him.

I was young and naive back then.

I was fooled by this poor guy without knowing any better.

Zhu Linlin,

when did I ever deceive you?

Have you forgotten?

You were the one who wanted to cram for your major exam.

You wanted my class notes

and chased after me at the library entrance.

You!

Who do you think you are

to talk to my woman like that?

Didn't the hotel train you?

When addressing guests,

you should say 'sir' or 'madam'.

You seem quite familiar with the terms.

Why don't you apply for a waiter position here?

I give you some advice and you get cocky.

Forget it. For Linlin's sake,

I'll give you a chance.

My shoes are dirty now.

Clean them for me.

What's wrong? Back problems?

Can't clean them yourself?

Watch how you talk!

Young Master Ma is an honored guest here.

As a waiter,

shouldn't you clean the shoes of important guests?

You couldn't even get a proper waiter's uniform.

Must be a temp.

I'm close with the owner here.

If you serve me well,

one word from me and you could become permanent staff.

Young man,

don't risk losing your job for a moment of defiance.

A wise man knows when to bend.

Did you hear that?

This is the difference between people.

Young Master Ma is so generous.

He doesn't even mind your sour remarks

and even offers you a path to advance.

I'll be magnanimous too.

This isn't your private room.

You should leave.

I won't stoop to your level.

Fine.

You refuse to take the hint.

Then don't stand here being an eyesore.

Get out!

I've booked this room.

Is it fun poking someone in the chest?

You! Someone come here!

Manager Zhang,

this waiter of yours

dared to lay hands on me!

Where did you come from, boy?

How dare you hit someone in Young Master Ma's private room!

Apologize immediately!

Young Master Ma,

please don't misunderstand.

All our waiters wear uniforms here.

He doesn't work for the restaurant at all.

So you're the restaurant manager.

And who are you?

What are you doing in our restaurant?

My friend reserved this private room.

I'm here to eat, of course.

Stop pretending.

Those shoes of yours were bought from a street vendor

for 25.

Those pants cost 30.

That shirt was 10.

I've been with you for over a year,

and you've never had more than 100 in your pocket.

How dare you claim you're here to eat!

Did you hear that?

He snuck in here.

Make him leave now!

I don't care how you got in,

get out immediately.

Otherwise I'll call security to throw you out.

Is this how you treat your customers?

You're just a poor wretch who can't even afford a meal.

What kind of customer are you?

Having someone like you dining here

would be bad for business.

I think I need to have a word with Boss Dong.

The management here is seriously problematic.

Waiter! Come to private room number one.

There's a troublemaker here.

It's him. Throw him out!

Let's see who dares to touch me.

Boss Dong!

What's going on?

Boss, you're here. Well, you see...

This troublemaker,

I'll deal with him right away.

Deal with? I'll deal with you first!

How dare you disrespect Dr. Ye!

Dr. Ye?

Hello, Mr. Dong.

Are we acquainted?

Dr. Ye, I'm so sorry.

There was some traffic. I'm late.

Boss, let me explain!

Don't call me boss anymore.

Starting today,

this Zui Jiangnan Restaurant belongs to Mr. Ye.

He is the owner now.

I've made all the arrangements.

You just need to sign here.

Boss, it's all my fault.

I was blind as a bat.

I apologize to you now.

Please don't hold this against me.

No need. I'm not your boss either.

You're fired.

Boss, it's all my fault.

I was blind as a bat.

I apologize to you now.

Please don't hold it against me.

No need. I'm not your boss anymore.

You're fired.

Mr. Ye, it was indeed my fault just now.

But I had no idea you would come to the private room Mr. Ma reserved.

Please forgive me this once.

When you encountered this dispute,

did you check the reservation records?

This is the private room my friend reserved.

You judge people with prejudice.

You're not suitable to work here.

Cashier Management Center Inventory Vouchers

Ma, you've really screwed me over.

You can leave now.

The same goes for all of you.

You'll be blacklisted from my restaurant.

I won't do business with you anymore.

Just a crappy restaurant.

What's there to be proud of?

Your girlfriend still chose me anyway.

What? Do you enjoy eating at crappy restaurants?

I remind you, Director Dong is still here.

Are you sure you want to call this a crappy restaurant?

Does your father know how you're describing my former business?

Director Dong, that's not what I meant.

It's just this guy named Ye.

Dr. Ye saved my child's life.

Think carefully before you speak.

Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?

Come with me now.

Xiaofan, I misunderstood you this time.

For the sake of our past relationship,

can we get back together?

You bitch!

I'll ask you one more time.

Are you coming with me or not?

Xiaofan, I was really wrong this time.

I was deceived by that guy's sweet talk.

I'll treat you well from now on.

Cut the act.

Stop bothering me.

Don't think you can be arrogant for long.

Once Director Dong leaves, you'll pay for this.

Dr. Ye, if it's inconvenient for you to handle this,

I'll have the waiter escort her out.

Such a small matter doesn't require Director Dong's intervention.

What's this, Ye Bufan?

You really won't agree?

A woman who's after money

I wouldn't dare mess with.

I'm afraid one day you'll suddenly

change your attitude just like today.

I suggest you study hard

and find a job.

Better rely on yourself than others.

Ye Bufan.

If you don't plan to get back together,

then stop telling me what to do.

I've already apologized to you.

What more do you want?

Besides me,

can you find another girlfriend as pretty as me?

Of course I can.

I am his girlfriend.

Who's this delusional person?

Why so quiet now?

Impossible. This can't be true.

What's so impossible about it?

Tell me.

I don't believe it.

You must have paid her to be here.

Me?

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the Vice President of Qin Group.

Do you think anyone could afford to hire me?

When did you get here?

I've been here for a while.

I heard most of it from outside.

To be honest,

I should really thank you.

If you hadn't dumped him for money,

I wouldn't have such an excellent boyfriend now.

What woman doesn't love money?

You think all women are like you,

born with a silver spoon in their mouth?

I just wanted a better life.

Is that wrong?

Everyone must pay for their choices.

You chose money,

while I chose him.

Wait.

What else do you want?

I just want to tell you,

it's fine to love money,

but you should use your brain.

Don't get scammed and then count their money for them.

This thing is made from granite cooked with chemicals.

Not only is it worthless,

it's also harmful to your health.

It might even cause cancer.

That's impossible.

This is a jade bracelet Ma Wenbo gave me.

It cost over 20,000 yuan.

It even has a certificate.

The antique and jade industry is full of deception.

My family's main business is the jade industry.

Wouldn't my word

be more reliable than those so-called certificates?

Authenticating it is simple.

Tap the bracelet.

If the sound is crisp, it's jade.

If it sounds dull, it's made of stone.

That Ma guy,

you bastard!

This thing...

He didn't actually think it was genuine when he gave it to you, did he?

This thing is fake.

You can find plenty of these online for just a few dollars.

Don't try to fool me.

This is a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag his friend brought from abroad.

It costs over 40,000 yuan.

It can't possibly be fake.

Let me authenticate it for you for free.

In authentic ones, the 'D' in Louis Vuitton's engraving

is the largest letter in this line,

but yours isn't large at all.

It's actually the smallest.

Now look at the metal parts on the bag.

Authentic metal hardware

is well-polished with clear engravings.

And has a subtle luster.

But yours is obviously colored artificially.

The lettering is blurry too.

Darling,

bring me a cup of tea

for authentication purposes.

What are you doing?

Look,

these are all fake.

Ma Wenbo, I'm going to kill you!

Having so many counterfeits for me to authenticate at once

is quite remarkable.

Why do this?

We might not have another chance to meet.

Then let her regret it for the rest of her life.

That's what she gets for being so blind.

Thank you.

How will you thank me?

That was my first kiss.

What should we do then?

I'll give you my first kiss too.

Who cares?

What exactly did you do for Dong Tianda?

He actually gave you the restaurant.

When his son was rushed to the emergency room,

I saved him.

Your medical skills are that impressive?

They're just average.

Cases others can't save,

I can at least try.

Hello, Director Zhou.

Is something wrong?

Sure. I have a friend with me too.

Let's have dinner together.

I'm at Zui Jiangnan Restaurant.

You're trying to get closer to Director Dong.

I don't believe you for a second.

Just you wait.

After I deal with Ye Bufan,

I'll come back and deal with you.

Young Master Ma,

everything is ready.

This Zui Jiangnan Restaurant,

even if it survives, I'll make it suffer.

Then I'll trouble you, Section Chief Song.

Let's go.

Director Zhou,

this is my friend Qin Chuchu.

Hello.

What a handsome couple you make.

To be honest with you,

regarding the recent virus outbreak among elementary students,

our district handled it effectively

and received praise from above.

It's all thanks to you.

About that overpriced medicine issue,

have you found any leads?

That Xie Haitao was blinded by greed.

He got the medicine from some pharmaceutical rep.

The pharmaceutical company's office is now completely abandoned.

However, at the scene,

investigators found an ancient bronze coin.

Boss, we have trouble!

A group of people has arrived downstairs

demanding our restaurant to close.

What's the reason?

Those people claim it's mass food poisoning.

They say our restaurant's hygiene is substandard.

And they mentioned Director Song from the Health Department.

Dr. Ye.

Leave this matter to me.

I'll go down and check.

Director Zhou, please don't worry.

If it's a routine inspection,

our hotel will certainly cooperate.

I'll go too.

Let's go quickly.

This place is closed.

Can't you see the Health Department is working here?

Where's your manager?

Get them out here now.

Someone's already gone to get them.

But we operate legally here.

You haven't even checked the kitchen.

How can you say we're substandard?

Do you recognize lab reports?

It clearly shows bacteria and viruses exceeding standards.

Letting you continue operating

would endanger society.

Yes, endanger society.

Nonsense!

Who gave you this authority?

Old man,

you're not the owner, what's it to you?

Go find somewhere else to cool off.

I'm the director of the Health Department's Inspection Division.

Who do you think you are?

You!

Don't you recognize him?

Who is he?

Why should I know him?

Finally came down.

Now you know how powerful I am.

You've angered me,

so forget about keeping this place open.

Forcing them to close

must have some reason, right?

Director Song's word is reason enough.

He's a veteran in the Inspection Division.

For this lady's sake,

I won't make things difficult for you.

Just pay one million,

and this matter will be over.

You're from the Inspection Division?

Show me your credentials.

Who do you think you are to check my ID?

Acting all high and mighty.

I'm Zhou Yongliang, Director of Maiqing Health Department.

I've never seen you before.

Look at you, pretending to be a Health Department Director.

Your entire outfit isn't even worth 500 yuan.

You!

No more talking with them.

We're shutting this place down now.

Everyone is watching right now.

You wouldn't dare lay a hand on us.

Oh yes, we would.

What else?

Dealing with imposters like you,

why should we be polite?

What are you waiting for? Get them!

Do you know what you're doing?

You're bullying your customers.

Is there no justice anymore?

For this incident today,

if you don't pay 2 million to settle this privately,

I'll call the police and have you arrested.

Hit them! Right now!

Do you know what you're doing?

Eliminating public menaces.

Finish him off!

Brother, please show some mercy.

We might meet again someday.

I'm not your brother.

You dare to impersonate health inspectors.

This must be dealt with seriously.

No, please don't call the police.

We can talk this through.

Boss Ye, can we settle this privately?

How about this.

I don't want your money,

but I need to ask you some questions.

Ask away.

Shendan Xueshuantong.

Have you heard of this medicine?

No, never.

Then I'll find someone else who knows.

Won't bother you anymore.

And by the way, I'll let you chat with the police.

Wait! I remember now!

Yes, there is such a medicine.

It's really expensive.

Old Song knows the details.

We all use this special coin

to contact the medicine seller.

If we need it,

we put this coin in the mouth of a stone lion in a neighborhood.

Someone will contact me afterward.

I've only sold once.

Please show mercy.

Do you know what the medicine seller looks like?

One day I arrived early to get the medicine.

I saw the person was quite fat,

with a big mole on their face.

But exactly what they look like,

I didn't dare get too close.

Director Zhou, we need to investigate this further.

If we don't get to the bottom of this medicine,

more people will be harmed.

Brother, why did you still call the police?

I don't know.

Perhaps

you made too much noise.

Oh, it's fine.

Spend a couple of days inside,

reflect on your life.

Maybe your future will be better.

Your ex-girlfriend and that rich guy Ma

are truly a perfect match of schemers.

Cheers to your new beginning.

By the way,

do you have plans for tomorrow?

Yes, I'm bringing my mother to live with me.

I can't let her stay in that urban village anymore.

You're not from around here, are you, Xiao Ye?

My mother's hometown is in Wufeng County.

I don't know about my own hometown.

I was adopted.

You've had it tough.

When we get a chance, let me take you shopping.

You need to relax a bit.

Director Zhou, about the Shendan Xueshutong medicine,

I'll need your help with that.

It's my duty.

Let's see what we can eat.

I'll have a vegetable bun.

Buns! Fresh steamed buns!

The owner of this bun shop has had a hard life.

She often helps poor students.

I heard she was seriously ill recently.

She has it tough? What about me?

Do you know who my boss is?

The famous Boss Ma Nine!

All of us brothers,

since we've decided to make something of ourselves,

we can't afford to be soft-hearted.

How else can we make a name for ourselves?

How else can we return home in glory?

If someone gets into graduate school,

they send the acceptance letter with drums and gongs in my hometown.

If I could pass the exam, I wouldn't be hustling here.

Stop laughing.

Stay close to me.

Today we need to be ruthless.

Make all the shop owners on this street tremble with fear.

Show our style,

show our skill,

show our power.

Stay close to your big brother.

Take care!

Business looks good, ma'am.

How many would you like, young man?

Buns? We take what we want.

We work for Boss Ma Nine.

Today we're just checking things out.

From now on,

you'll pay us protection money every month.

This money is for our first day on the job.

The remaining 400 yuan,

have it ready for us tomorrow.

Well, I was recently in the hospital.

I'm short on money.

I still need to pay for my child's education.

Could you give me some more time?

Sell! I said sell!

If you can't pay the protection money,

you can go starve for all I care.

What are you doing?

Mind your own business,

or we'll wreck your stall too.

Sell! I told you to sell!

If you can't pay protection money,

you'll have nothing to eat from now on!

Stop!

What are you doing?

If you keep meddling,

we'll smash your stall too!

Let's see who dares to make trouble now!

Don't move! What are you doing?

You smashed her steamer basket,

how can she pay protection money now?

Get lost!

Why do you care about her?

Why don't you go study for a master's degree instead?

Boss, I found the protection money!

Put it back!

Who told you to waste food like this?

Get him! Teach this guy a lesson!

Let me tell you,

I work for Master Ma Jiu!

So dirty!

You never wash this thing!

Did I say you could leave?

Who flipped over the stall?

You've got good connections,

your brothers are quite united.

Big... brother!

Please let us go!

We were wrong!

We won't dare do it again!

They all talked me into it!

It's my first time! First time, I swear!

We have relatives who need treatment,

we need money for medicine,

that's why we resorted to this.

Medicine? What medicine?

Something like Sanzhou Blood... something...

Shendan Thrombotic Medication.

Yes, that's what it's called!

It's really expensive.

Alright then.

As long as you tell me the details about buying the medicine,

I can let you go.

Eat all these buns on the ground,

don't waste food.

My mom worked day and night to make these.

What?

Boss, let me explain!

Boss, eat this one!

It's filled with beef!

Don't panic.

Take them to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Dr. Cao will be here soon.

I'll find someone to help them.

The beef is too greasy.

Boss, don't throw up.

You're making me want to vomit too.

Don't throw up. It doesn't count as finishing if you vomit.

Based on the intelligence they've provided,

This Shendan Blood Circulation Pill

seems to specifically treat the evil energy,

but it doesn't cure it,

it only delays the onset of symptoms.

Only this way

can they maximize their profits.

Grandniece, what's the matter?

Ye Bufan, you...

Where are you?

In the urban village. Something's up.

Send me your location. I'll be right there.

Brother,

can we leave now?

Pay for the buns first.

Where are you getting the money to pay?

Well, this is our first time.

We put back what we took before.

Just a moment. I'll pay with my phone.

Insufficient balance.

Can any of you lend me some?

Brother, if we had money,

we wouldn't be doing this with you.

Brother, me getting stuffed is a small matter,

but you losing face...

I truly deserve to die a thousand deaths.

So you've been using my name.

How could I?

But look,

if I can't even handle a small bun shop,

I'll have no future.

Brother, help me out,

I'll put in good words for you with Boss Nine.

I'll help you with this,

but don't put in any good words for me with Boss Nine.

It might backfire.

Got it?

Then, brother,

should I call my boys over?

You could bring some people too.

From what you said,

that guy knows some moves.

Having too many people won't help.

Xiaofan.

When these punks came,

they said they work for Boss Ma Nine.

Boss Ma Nine is a big shot.

Will there be trouble?

There won't be any problems.

Don't worry.

We're moving out soon anyway.

So you're the one giving my brother trouble.

Isn't this that guy?

What, still hungry and coming back for more?

And brought a new customer too.

Cut the crap.

Taste my authentic 36-style chain kick!

Xiaofan, take it easy! Take it easy!

Don't offend them too much.

We still need to run our business.

What a useless navigation system.

This road is completely inaccessible.

Darling, hurry up!

Don't let him catch you!

Who are you calling 'darling'?

A dear grandniece is also a darling.

I remember now.

It was the same yesterday.

Whenever you have trouble with jerks, you call me to be your muscle, right?

Don't you dare make false accusations.

I was just in the store shopping.

Your car got smashed.

You can't blame me for that.

Besides,

you need something from me,

so naturally you should help out a bit.

My combo kick!

Bro, hang in there. I'll go get help.

Did I say you could move?

Stay still.

Adults are talking. Kids should behave.

Hey.

Why are you always getting tangled up with thugs?

Are you really a college student?

Can't help it. I'm too charming.

By the way,

why did you look for me?

Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Grandpa's situation?

My colleagues at the police station helped me investigate.

But I don't know where they went.

What did you see?

That young Feng came back supporting two people.

After they returned,

all three fell unconscious.

Alright.

Once I settle things here,

I'll go with you to check it out.

I'll have her take you back to my restaurant first.

From now on,

you'll be working with us.

We'll be going then.

What about him?

Grandniece.

Fine, fine.

I'll have the security center increase patrols.

Did you hear that?

I'm leaving now.

I'll come back sometime to see your thirty-six combo kicks.

Hey, Uncle Feng.

Yes, I'm here.

Don't worry.

I've already invited the best doctor in Maiqing to come.

It'll be fine.

Okay, bye.

The best doctor in Maiqing City.

You think so highly of me.

Anyone who could cure my grandfather.

Must have excellent medical skills.

This time, my colleagues.

I'm counting on you.

They all got hurt because of my recent case.

That's why they're here.

Don't worry, I'm a doctor.

When it comes to saving lives.

I'll definitely do my best.

Bad luck.

Finally got out on bail.

And run into him again.

What's he doing here?

I'll go greet the patient's family.

You go ahead.

Room 102 next to the emergency room.

That's where my colleagues are hospitalized.

Look at him bowing and scraping.

He must be here for an internship.

He's a third-year medical student.

Desperate for a job.

He made my life difficult.

I won't let him off the hook.

Well, well, well.

With your amateur medical skills.

You're planning to interview here.

Impressive.

You're still out and about.

Mind your own business.

Why are you at the hospital?

Got poisoned by your fake bracelet?

A dog's mouth can't produce ivory.

Don't think you're special just because you own a restaurant.

Do you have any culinary skills?

Do you have any management skills?

You'll run that restaurant into the ground sooner or later.

But you are clever.

Coming here for an internship.

He's not here for an internship.

He's obviously here to pick up girls.

You didn't see.

How he was flirting with another woman earlier.

Good thing we broke up early.

I'm going to tell your girlfriend about your cheating

and cause trouble in your relationship.

If you can take a beating, go ahead and spread rumors.

But I sincerely suggest

you find out who that person was.

Alright, I have things to do. Let me through.

You...

Forget it.

Maybe they're here to clean the bathroom.

Mr. Ma,

once you help me become the director,

I'll assign him to clean toilets every day. Put him to good use.

Don't worry,

I've already spoken with Professor Zhang.

Director Xie,

how are the test results?

That's exactly the problem.

The results are completely normal,

yet they remain unconscious.

Dr. Cao, how are my colleagues doing?

What illness do they have?

All three have identical pulse patterns,

showing severe imbalance of yin and yang, extremely chaotic.

If I'm not mistaken,

they must have been exposed to something unclean.

Something unclean?

What do you mean by that?

By 'unclean,' I mean negative energy,

a concentration of negative forces

that creates something that floats in the air

and exists as harmful particulate matter.

I don't understand.

Never mind that.

Can you cure them?

Before this negative energy enters the body,

I know some protective measures.

But once it has entered the body,

there are very few remedies available.

Traditional texts have gaps in documenting this condition.

Now that the negative energy has attacked their hearts,

it's too difficult to treat.

You're a medical authority,

please think of something.

I'm begging you.

These are colleagues who've worked with me at the police station for years.

If you can't help,

maybe we should go to the capital?

Their conditions are very unstable.

Even if we transfer them to the capital,

accidents could happen on the way.

If that won't work,

maybe we could try cryogenic chambers?

But the treatment costs...

It seems I must ask my senior apprentice brother to help.

You have a senior apprentice brother?

That's the first I've heard of it.

Then what are we waiting for?

Please ask him to come quickly.

Who are you?

Are you authorized to enter this ICU?

He Shuangshuang asked me to come

to treat her colleagues.

You? Treating patients? You're just a kid.

Don't cause trouble here.

Get out or I'll call security.

Young man, we're already overwhelmed here.

Young man, we're already overwhelmed here.

Please don't add to our troubles.

Enough. Be quiet.

Look, you've upset Dr. Cao.

Get out now.

Zhang Bai, I'm talking to you.

This is my senior apprentice brother.

This... he's your senior apprentice brother?

Xinghua pays respects to senior brother.

Have you checked these people's condition?

Yes, I have.

These people fell into comas due to negative energy entering their bodies.

Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited.

I cannot treat them.

They went to investigate the negative energy

and then fell into comas.

Obviously, someone doesn't want us investigating.

If we can wake them up,

perhaps we can find clues from them.

Senior brother,

can my brothers be cured?

Take this for sterilization. The needle will cure the disease.

Step aside.

You're not qualified to sterilize.

Just take out your phone

and watch my senior brother perform.

Old Cao, is this really reliable?

He's only in his twenties.

I doubt he's even memorized the basic medical texts.

What kind of talk is that?

Would I call him senior brother if he wasn't reliable?

Fine. If anything goes wrong,

the hospital won't be responsible.

The negative energy is flowing throughout their bodies.

Fortunately, they haven't been infected for long.

This is...

This is the Nine Soul-Returning Needles.

The Nine Soul-Returning Needles is my senior brother's specialty.

Captain, why am I here?

Oh right, where's Xiao Wang? And...

It's okay. Everyone's here.

Taking him as my senior brother wasn't a bad choice, right?

Alright, there are two more patients.

What do you mean by 'it's done'?

Hello?

The signal's gone.

Wang Qiang, what did you mean by 'it's done'?

Just that the acupuncture is finished.

Everyone's fine now.

Captain He, Doctor Ye is truly amazing.

Have you rested well?

If you've rested enough, tell us

what exactly you saw.

We were investigating where Old Master He went.

We followed the clues

and found an ancient copper coin.

After asking around, we learned

that the coin is connected to Shangri-La Neighborhood.

Thanks to you for clearing Officer Feng's meridians earlier,

he was able to make it back to the station.

So that means

the root of the problem is in Weiwaitaoyuan Neighborhood.

I've also heard that

the previous incident where children got food poisoning

was also because the delivery vehicle stayed in this neighborhood

for half an hour.

No, that's not right.

Weiwaitaoyuan Neighborhood may not be the center of negative energy.

If that were true,

no one could live there.

But I've never seen any reports about this.

But regardless,

we definitely need to go investigate that neighborhood.

Xiao He.

I've already arranged

the nurses and medication here.

Thank you, Director Xie.

The police station has assigned me some urgent tasks.

I need to go back now.

If you're going to Weiwaitaoyuan Neighborhood,

take me with you.

I'm going to heal and save people.

Why do you want to go?

Seeing my colleagues suffering,

I won't rest

until I get to the bottom of this.

Dr. Ye, you're truly skilled.

This is the first time I've seen her like this.

By the way, would you be interested in practicing at our hospital?

The acupuncture technique you just demonstrated

was truly remarkable.

I appreciate your kindness.

I don't want to be constrained.

Director Ma from Maiqing Hospital invited me before,

but I declined.

I'm sorry.

That's alright then.

How about leaving your contact information?

When we encounter difficult cases like today's,

we can ask for your help.

What do you think?

Director Xie, you're too kind.

Healing and saving lives is my duty.

Ah, right.

Later,

we need to evaluate several intern students.

I'd like to invite you, Professor Cao and Professor Zhang to join the evaluation.

What do you think?

No, thanks.

I have something to attend to later.

10. Wang Li

However,

selecting promising medical talents for the people of Maiqing

is my bounden duty.

Hey,

Han Shuai, long time no see.

What have you been training on?

Your back nearly broke my hand.

Let me massage it for you.

My technique has improved a lot lately.

You big flirt.

What are you doing here?

Also here for the intern interview?

I'm here as a judge.

You're dreaming.

If you're really a judge,

please fail me quickly.

Those participating in the intern interview, please sign in.

Indeed, he also wants to apply for the formal doctor position.

Don't worry,

I've already arranged everything with Professor Zhang.

He won't let that guy pass.

Tell Professor Zhang

to criticize him thoroughly in front of everyone.

My dad forced me to come.

I don't want to be a doctor at all.

If I fail, I can just report back to him.

Feel free to sit anywhere.

I need to go to the judges' panel.

Hey, stop fooling around.

Come back. What are you doing?

Remember to call me Dr. Ye later.

What's going on? Who's that?

Why is he sitting at the judges' panel?

Isn't that Ye Bufan from third year?

Has he gone crazy?

Silence, please.

I am Xie Donglin, the director of this hospital.

Welcome everyone to today's intern interview.

Now let me introduce

the members of today's judging panel.

This is Maiqing's medical expert,

Cao Xinghua, Mr. Cao.

And our senior professor, Professor Zhang Bai.

This is the head of our judging panel today,

Dr. Ye Bufan.

Quiet!

Dr. Ye is a hero who has saved many children with acute conditions.

Oh, it's him.

That's fine then.

My chest hurts.

I'm clearly not meant for this interview.

What should I do?

This Ye Bufan must have pulled some strings.

He's definitely going to give me a hard time.

Don't worry,

Professor Zhang will help you out.

Alright,

let's officially begin the interview.

How do you conduct business?

The money we lent out this month and what we collected back

why don't the numbers match?

Master, please calm down.

Among our clients,

someone has revealed our secrets.

I've already taken care of loose ends.

Those guys who came snooping around Taoyuan Complex

have been dealt with as you instructed,

using negative energy against them.

I estimate they won't survive the night.

That's not right.

Last time, the old man from the He family miraculously survived.

And now these people

are colleagues of the old man's granddaughter.

I'm worried that behind them

there are cultivators helping them.

Should we suspend our operation?

No need.

This time we'll capture everyone behind them as well.

You, follow my instructions

and release that thing.

As you say, Master.

I'll prepare right away.

That concludes my answer.

Very good. Completely correct.

I can see

you've put in a lot of effort.

Student Zhu, I'd like to ask you something.

How do you interpret 'No one sees your practice,

but heaven knows your heart'?

I...

My understanding of this phrase is that

no one witnesses your practice, but heaven knows your intentions.

no one witnesses your practice, but heaven knows your intentions.

Professor Cao.

I see classical text interpretation is a bit challenging for her.

Isn't her professional knowledge

supposed to be solid?

Alright then.

Tell me the difference between Angelica dahurica and Atractylodes.

The difference is...

one is Angelica dahurica and one is Atractylodes.

Damn old man.

Can't he just ask questions from the paper?

Professor Cao, your question is a bit off-topic.

I think her overall answers are quite good.

And she has a good appearance too.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep her at the hospital for training.

So when patients come here for treatment in the future,

we shouldn't prescribe medicine anymore?

Just let them look at her face instead?

A patient suddenly faints,

becomes unconscious.

How should you provide first aid?

Isn't this just heat stroke?

Quickly carry him out

and don't delay my exam.

The patient fainted in an air-conditioned room.

How could it possibly be heat stroke?

A patient has just fainted,

and your first thought is about your exam?

Do you know how much I've sacrificed for this interview?

Him fainting is his own business.

It's not like I caused it.

So if you didn't cause the illness,

doctors shouldn't treat it?

Then hospitals might as well close down now.

The true purpose of studying medicine is to save lives and heal the injured.

Being selfish and unwilling to take responsibility,

not even willing to provide basic first aid,

you don't deserve to be a doctor at all.

A doctor should have compassion.

Great, save someone right here.

Shut up! What are you making a fuss about?

You, Ye Bufan,

you're taking personal revenge.

Because I dumped you,

you're deliberately making things difficult for me.

This is against the rules.

I request that you recuse yourself from my examination

and ask Professor Zhang Bo to re-evaluate me.

That's right.

He's just an ordinary student from Maiqing Medical University.

What qualifications does he have to be a judge?

He's just an ordinary student from Maiqing Medical University.

What qualifications does he have to be a judge?

Using his position to suppress others.

This is clearly corruption.

I happen to know several journalist friends.

If you don't give me an explanation today,

I'll have you in the newspapers tomorrow.

Dr. Ye is the inheritor of the Soul-Returning Nine Needles,

and a specially invited guest doctor for this assessment.

He's the senior fellow apprentice of Old Mr. Cao from Baicao Hall.

Do you still think he's not qualified to sit here?

Well...

But letting him judge his ex-girlfriend

is probably against regulations, isn't it?

Related parties

shouldn't they recuse themselves?

Dr. Ye didn't ask you any questions just now,

he only gave comments.

Besides, if I remember correctly,

you didn't register for this assessment.

Your behavior just now

has seriously affected other candidates.

Please cooperate with us

and wait outside.

You want to kick me out

and then continue your corruption?

It won't be that easy.

If you want to make a big deal out of this,

go ahead.

The hospital has complete video recordings of the assessment.

If this becomes public,

Zhu Linlin will become famous.

Guess if she'll be able to find a job after that?

Ye Bufan, you...

Zhu Linlin failed the assessment.

Please, both of you, leave.

Thanks for stepping in to help just now.

You've been keeping quite a low profile.

I won't ask about that Soul-Returning Nine Needles thing,

but Old Cao once gave lectures at our school,

so how did you become his senior fellow apprentice?

Since you're not asking about the Soul-Returning Nine Needles,

then about Old Cao accepting me as his senior,

I have nothing to say.

Forget it.

Let me ask you,

are you free to be my wingman?

Which poor girl has caught your eye?

Her name is Shi Yuting,

she's from the Finance Department at Maiqing University.

What's that phrase? Talented and beautiful.

Stop. What do you want me to do?

She's having her birthday in a few days.

Come and back me up.

Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal.

We can talk while we eat.

I have plans tonight.

Maybe next time.

Just call me for her birthday.

That's nice of you. Wait for my call.

If you're scared,

I suggest you go home and rest.

Don't come.

Who's scared?

Can't I come even if I'm scared?

If you want to hug me, there's no need to beat around the bush.

Just tell your uncle straightforwardly.

I know you'll laugh at me,

but my grandfather suffered so much,

he almost lost his life.

I don't want others to go through the same thing.

Let's go.

How can there be such strong negative energy in the city?

Protect yourself first.

Xuanyin Energy-Gathering Formation.

Looks like we've found the right place.

This is bad.

There's no time for acupuncture.

What are you doing?

Don't panic. I'm here.

Nine Needles to Break Evil.

You know this technique too?

The Ancient Medical School teaches medical skills,

martial arts, and mystical techniques as one,

dispelling evil is also our duty.

It's over.

No. The big one is coming.

What is that?

Don't be afraid. It's just your hallucination.

Hallucination?

Negative energy is essentially a collection of negative forces.

We're in an area filled with negative energy,

which affects our perception.

Fortunately, it can be eliminated by Ancient Medical School techniques.

If you let me go,

I'll have a chance to win.

Run back the way we came!

Watch out!

We're done for. We're surrounded.

We're done for. We're surrounded.

No. They're the ones surrounded.

It's solved.

Yes.

I sealed its particle magnetic field with my spell.

This way

that thing can no longer

continuously release negative energy.

The foundation for those evil creatures

no longer exists.

Well, thank you.

You should thank me indeed.

Do you know to save you

I paid a huge price.

What's wrong?

Did that needle technique drain a lot of your energy?

I lost my first kiss that I'd been saving for twenty years.

What?

Returning kindness with ingratitude?

Let's go.

Give me a ride.

Dream on.

Walk back yourself.

Today's problem is solved

but we're far from being able to relax.

We need to find a place to clarify

what this jade stone really is.

Even this didn't kill him.

I can't disappoint the master again.

I'll go all out if I have to.

To get information about the black jade,

I should come to this antique street.

I have a feeling

the clue is somewhere here.

Lucky me,

this shop has something interesting.

These coins have a specific spiritual energy,

no doubt about it.

Next, I need to find a way

to get some information out of the shop owner.

You're an expert!

You look young,

but you have a sharp eye.

These ten coins on a string

symbolize perfect completeness.

Take them home and they'll turn bad luck into good fortune and bring wealth.

Only 200 yuan.

I heard

these can be exchanged for medicine.

Who told you such nonsense?

This is an antique shop.

If you want medicine, go to a pharmacy.

Ginseng Blood Circulation Pills.

I have a thousand-year-old ginseng root here.

Want it?

What if I buy in bulk?

Like, merchandise worth 2 million.

I just bought

Ji Xiaohong's calligraphy from you for 5,000 yuan,

but when I got home it became Yan Zhenfa's work.

You must have switched it.

I want a refund.

Listen to what you're saying!

I'm not a magician.

How could I switch it?

In our business,

all sales are final.

You should check carefully before buying.

You've already taken it home.

We don't do after-sales service here.

Will you refund it or not?

If not, I'll call and report you right now.

Brother, if everyone was like you,

how could we stay in business?

Look, if you want to return it, fine,

I'll give you 10%,

500 yuan to take it back.

To be honest,

even if you call the police, so what?

Our business is all about having a good eye.

If this gets out,

you'll never work in the antique business again.

Wait.

Can I see that calligraphy?

I've always wanted a piece by Yan Zhenfa.

If it's suitable, I'll buy it.

Here, take a look,

but I'm telling you upfront,

this is a fake.

It's beautifully written.

I'll take it.

5,000 yuan for you.

What?

But this is fake.

You scan my code, I'll scan yours.

Brother, I warned you.

If you insist on transferring money to me,

I won't stop you from scanning the code.

I've added you as a friend.

Let's keep in touch.

Take care!

Brother, you like Yan Zhenfa?

I have more.

No need.

I know nothing about calligraphy.

You just had a chance to make money

but couldn't seize it.

Brother, let's be straightforward.

If you can really explain things clearly,

our cooperation

is not impossible.

You think I'm an amateur?

I've already checked.

There's no hidden compartment in this painting.

This secret compartment is cleverly designed,

but what came out of it

is truly nothing impressive.

It might sell for a hundred bucks or so,

but if you're talking about getting rich,

that's far from reality.

I'll offer 5 million for this ring.

Master Xuanji,

would you be willing to part with it?

Sorry, I don't need the money.

Boss, isn't it time to fulfill your promise?

Young man, since Master Xuanji has acknowledged it,

I'll honor our bet.

Let's step aside.

I'll just send you the location.

Thanks.

This guy is extraordinary.

He could use my evil jade

to find this place, which is one thing,

but he even discovered the secret in the painting

and got a storage ring.

It really pisses me off.

So, will you handle this personally?

No need.

I have a hundred-million deal to close.

Just stall him for a while,

and let Fatty entertain him properly.

A mustard seed can hold a mountain, containing hundreds of items.

Independent space where stored items never decay.

I've really found a treasure.

Too bad there are no family heirlooms inside.

Boss, how much money are we scamming today?

The boss said

it's up to us.

This guy wouldn't blink at 5 million.

I'm thinking we should scam at least 8 million.

Let's say this is an antique dug up from the Ziji Tomb.

Antique.

After this job

we won't have to worry about our medicine money anymore.

Don't worry, bro.

I'm an expert at this scam.

Let's just wait to count the money.

Why aren't you watching where you're going?

You made me drop all my uncle's treasures.

Don't think about leaving without making this right.

Don't try to run.

Your scam is so amateur.

Did I even touch your box?

That's right, I saw everything.

He threw the box on the ground himself.

Isn't this a scam?

I just saw them the day before yesterday.

All of you, get away from me

standing so close

Would you pay if my things got damaged?

Mind your own business.

What's wrong with this guy?

These are antiques from Ziji Tomb.

Each one is worth millions.

If you behave yourself,

we can give you a discount.

Brother, you're quite brave,

not taking any precautions with items worth millions.

Of course.

These are precious treasures.

Today you'll have to pay me at least this much.

Fine. I'll call the police.

I've damaged national cultural relics.

At the very least,

I'll get 10 or 20 years in prison.

If I turn myself in, I might get a lighter sentence.

No, brother, don't rush.

We can talk.

Settle it privately, right?

Privately.

Yes, privately.

Oh my!

Master, don't worry.

I've arranged everything perfectly.

Even if he comes,

he won't even reach the inner courtyard.

Yes, everything is arranged according to your instructions.

Anyone who interferes with our business,

I'll make sure they never leave.

Thank you for your trouble, Master.

Don't worry. With these two things,

even if he can fly or burrow underground,

he'll still be trapped here.

Are you satisfied with our private settlement?

Yes, very satisfied.

I've been lying down from the start.

How could I not be satisfied?

Brother, I don't know them well.

Let's talk this through.

Try to get up and walk a bit.

After you pressed there,

your chest feels much better.

You've been contaminated with negative energy.

If not treated promptly,

it could be life-threatening.

Brother, you shouldn't say such things.

We've all been taking our medicine regularly.

Taking it regularly.

If you've been consistently

taking ginseng and blood circulation pills,

then you're in serious trouble.

Once we're done here,

I'll treat you.

The urgent matter now

is to find that fat boss with a mole on his face.

Absolutely. These bastards!

I was wondering why I felt worse the more medicine I took.

That fat guy,

that fat bastard with a mole on his face,

he's clearly no good.

He even sold us medicine at half price.

Don't worry.

I came today

specifically to resolve this matter completely.

Lucky you met us.

If you go through the front door,

there are many traps waiting for you inside.

How do you know?

How could I not know?

The three of us helped set them up.

Watch this.

Climb in from here,

it's foolproof.

I felt from the beginning

that he definitely wasn't a good person.

So I was cautious.

You must eliminate this menace for the people.

Go for it, brother.

Thanks.

Boss, you're in good spirits.

Who are you?

How did you get in here so quietly?

My name is Ye Bufan.

How I got in doesn't matter.

What matters is

I'm here to settle the score

for those overpriced medicines.

Young man,

Since you've managed to find me,

I won't beat around the bush.

Let's talk business.

Young man,

If you're willing to let this go,

all these gold bars are yours.

And

I can also give you 3% of the shares.

Shendan Blood Thrombus Clearer

becomes more addictive the more you take it.

Once you stop taking it,

the residual negative energy in your body

will concentrate and explode,

likely causing immediate death.

Making money this way,

aren't you afraid of shortening your life?

Those affected by negative energy

will die sooner or later.

I'm helping them extend their lives.

Why should I fear a shorter life?

Look, isn't this gold beautiful?

Don't you like it?

Judging by your appearance,

you're probably not very well-off.

Many of your wishes

can be fulfilled with this.

You're right.

Money is a good thing.

I like money too.

Is that so?

Young man, making money is what really matters.

But I earn enough for a building with just one house call.

Unless you add tens of thousands more gold bars,

my reputation comes at a high price.

Young man,

if you put it that way,

we won't be able to make this deal.

Heaven's path is open but you won't take it.

Hell has no door yet you barge in.

It seems the setup last night at Waiwaitaoyuan Neighborhood

was also your doing.

One opponent can be dealt with slowly,

but if two attack together,

it's hard to find weaknesses.

Refusing to make money,

you regret it now, don't you?

Don't rush. Your time for regret will come.

Trying to make them fight each other,

they're not that stupid.

Thanks for the tip.

Not making money when you could.

Regret it now?

Don't rush. Your time to regret will come.

You want to make them fight each other.

They're not that stupid.

Thanks for the advice.

Quick, answer the phone!

Save me! Master, save me!

That guy

Even two blood skeletons couldn't stop him.

Didn't I give you another magical item?

Why didn't you use it?

But that thing...

If you can't prove your worth

What's the point of keeping you?

The job of a porter

Anyone can do it.

You're on your own now.

They cleared my setup here last night.

So I'll do the opposite.

Hide in plain sight.

Found it.

Kid, you've gone too far.

What did I do wrong?

Selling medicine, making money. It's only natural.

I was born to a poor family in the lower city.

Stop. Don't try to clean up your image.

With that face, no one would forgive you anyway.

Wouldn't it be nice to get rich together?

Must you destroy me completely?

Just wait.

When your mother dies

I'll burn 50,000 for her.

You really think I don't understand?

My mother suffered severe cerebral hemorrhage

Yet this prescription has blood-clotting medicine. How do you explain that?

You almost killed my mother.

I won't let you off easily.

If you won't give me a way out

Then let's go to hell together.

You're willing to take drugs to let evil enter your body

For a forced burst of power.

Even if you win

You might not survive anyway.

Why bother?

I could have been happily living the high life

Why won't you let me get rich?

You ruined everything.

Even if I die, I'll tear you apart first.

Too bad you don't have what it takes.

Never putting any effort into training,

relying on last-minute pills,

the gap in foundation is still too great.

You forced me to do this.

This is a rare opportunity,

might as well test it out.

So you're at the Xuan level.

Fighting against someone with evil energy

really drains my strength.

If he attacks together with those two blood puppets,

that would be real trouble.

This won't do.

I need to train harder when I get back.

Hey, Shuangshuang.

I've found the warehouse for Shendan Blood Circulation Pills.

Send your people over.

Oh, right.

The Shendan Blood Circulation Pills case is wrapped up,

but clearly,

this fat guy has someone above him.

Brother, is everything settled?

Need any help?

I've cleared the courtyard.

You can come in through the front door.

The police will be here soon to seize the evidence.

Hold steady.

By the way, please arrange

for everyone you know who's taken those pills

to come here.

I'll give them acupuncture to remove the evil energy.

Leave it to me.

They're not here to arrest us.

Why are you running?

We're the good guys now.

You released energy through evil qi,

causing it to penetrate too deeply into your body.

It might take several treatments to cure.

Stop pretending to care.

I won't say anything.

I don't expect you to.

It's just my professional instinct

to help when I can.

Patients suffer greatly,

and I studied medicine

to alleviate that suffering.

Of course, mainly to ease my mother's pain.

But you can't save everyone.

If I can't save everyone,

should I save no one?

Saving one person is still saving someone,

and that includes you.

The one who gave me the medicine

was an old Taoist named Xuanji.

Still a bit too slow.

But I did probe that kid's abilities,

so it wasn't a complete waste.

It doesn't matter.

Once our plan here is complete,

no matter how much he struggles,

it will be useless.

Director Ma, your timing is impeccable.

I just finished my work.

For you to call me,

the case must be serious.

Dr. Ye, it's like this.

I have a

cousin who's ill.

I'd like you to treat him.

Would that be possible?

The only issue is

treating this illness

requires success, failure is not an option.

Alright, I'll give it a try.

Director Ma, you're picking me up personally?

Who is this patient exactly?

It's the Tang family patriarch.

The Tang family is a prominent clan in Maiqing.

Their status comes from their strength.

Strength.

The Tang family is a martial arts household.

The entire family practices martial arts.

Although the old Mr. Tang is nearly 80.

His body has remained strong.

But three days ago.

Mr. Tang suddenly fell ill for unknown reasons.

I've consulted many experts, but none could help.

It's all up to you now.

They're here.

Alright.

Director Ma, you're finally here.

Tang Feng, how is the old man's condition?

The situation is very bad.

He just coughed up blood again.

He's still unconscious now.

Quick, come in with me.

We'll go in right away to check on him.

Who is this?

Oh.

This is Dr. Ye.

He has profound medical knowledge.

He'll surely be able to cure the old master.

At his age.

Profound knowledge.

Director Ma.

Don't joke with me about this.

The old master's life is hanging by a thread.

Haha.

Tang Feng.

Don't let Dr. Ye's youth fool you.

He's the only successor of the legendary ancient medical tradition.

He's the one who cured the He family patriarch.

I've heard about Mr. He's case.

I didn't expect it was you who cured him.

I apologize for my rudeness earlier.

Please come in.

Dr. Ye.

If you need any equipment.

Just say the word.

Mr. Tang.

I've already reviewed the examination reports.

How is it?

The old man's condition is very serious.

According to the recent X-ray results,

there are significant shadows in the lungs and liver.

It can be diagnosed as late-stage cancer.

Surgery must be performed immediately.

Dr. Ye,

please take a look at my father.

Mr. Tang,

there's no need for that.

Look at these test results. They're very clear.

There can be no mistake.

This condition requires immediate surgical treatment.

Every second of delay increases the risk.

The situation is already urgent.

We won't give up this time.

Unfortunately,

this patient doesn't need surgery at all.

What?

How dare you make such absurd claims?

These results come from the most advanced equipment.

There can't possibly be any mistakes.

I'm saying,

your data is correct,

but your diagnosis and treatment plan are completely wrong.

Old Mr. Tang doesn't have cancer,

nor is he in the terminal stage.

That's impossible.

I've watched my mentor diagnose countless cases,

all with the same treatment approach.

Then,

what's the final cure rate?

I...

My treatment methods are validated by world-renowned medical associations.

They can greatly reduce the patient's suffering.

Reducing pain without mentioning cure.

It seems you haven't learned from what happened a few days ago.

You,

as a doctor, are arrogant and blindly confident.

Your judgments are arbitrary and completely wrong.

Let me ask you,

have you gotten to know the patient?

Have you examined the cause of illness?

Just based on test reports,

you make your judgment.

Seriously?

Science is rigorous.

The data from test reports cannot be wrong.

What if your diagnosis is wrong?

Aren't you afraid of worsening the patient's condition?

I...

You...

I didn't mean that.

Dr. Ye,

please examine my father first.

If your knowledge is insufficient,

don't make casual judgments about patients.

Even with just a glimmer of hope, we must do everything to save them.

Alright,

let's examine the patient first.

Old Mr. Tang is not in any life-threatening danger.

He's just suffering from internal injuries due to qigong deviation.

Haha!

You must be joking.

Qigong deviation?

You've been reading too many martial arts novels.

Qigong deviation?

What do you mean by qigong deviation?

Qigong deviation is just a colloquial term.

A more precise explanation would be

improper practice methods causing disruption of heart meridians and blood flow,

resulting in organ symptoms triggered by conflicting internal energy.

It's one thing to insult me,

but Old Mr. Tang is a martial arts master.

How could he make practice mistakes?

How could he experience qigong deviation?

You're talking complete nonsense.

What if he was trying to practice an unfamiliar technique?

Dr. Ye

What a miracle doctor!

My father indeed comprehended a new martial technique.

Mr. Tang

Mr. Tang's condition is extremely critical now.

If we misdiagnose him,

the consequences will be irreversible.

All the test reports now indicate

that Mr. Tang is indeed in the late stage of cancer.

How can you be so confident?

Have you read the test reports carefully?

I examined each test result one by one.

Was Mr. Tang diagnosed with cancer three days ago?

That's right.

The cancer was detected three days ago.

What kind of cancer progresses from early to late stage in just three days?

It's truly unheard of.

Dr. Gao, please

enlighten us.

But the X-ray results are very clear.

The patient has tumor shadows in both lungs and liver.

The patient has shadows in both lungs and liver simultaneously.

But one is the respiratory system,

and the other is the digestive system.

Being affected simultaneously

cannot possibly be caused by cancer.

These shadows are not tumors.

They are stagnation of vital energy.

Without knowledge of martial arts,

misdiagnosis is inevitable.

Dr. Ye,

you haven't even checked his pulse,

yet you described my father's condition

so clearly.

What a miracle doctor!

These symptoms caused by martial arts practice

don't fall within the scope of conventional medicine.

But my Ancient Medical School has specialized treatments.

I had no choice.

There are few martial artists nowadays,

and doctors who can treat 'qigong deviation'

are even rarer.

We had to seek help desperately.

After failing to break through in his practice,

his internal organs are filled with rampant vital energy.

If it's not properly channeled,

he'll never be able to practice martial arts again.

Sigh.

My father has been obsessed with martial arts his whole life.

If he can't practice anymore,

he might die of depression.

No way.

Shut up.

Dr. Ye, do you have a treatment?

There is one way.

He needs to attempt another breakthrough.

Once his skill level increases,

the chaotic energy will naturally realign.

Dr. Ye,

my father has been stuck at the Yellow Level for over a decade.

If he could break through,

why would he have suffered from qigong deviation?

Don't worry.

If I say it's possible,

then it's possible.

You can't!

Shut up!

Doctor Ye, do you have a treatment method?

There is one way.

To break through the barrier again.

As long as his cultivation level increases,

the chaotic energy will naturally realign.

Doctor Ye.

My father has been stagnant at the yellow level for over a decade.

If he could break through,

why would he have gone astray?

Don't worry.

If I say it's possible,

then it is possible.

Doctor Ye.

If you can really do this—

No.

Even if you just cure my father,

you will be the Tang family's greatest benefactor.

The patient is currently unconscious.

How can you give him medicine of unknown origin?

Ah!

Are you desperately trying any cure?

You can't do this.

Father!

The energy is flowing again.

Hurry.

Start the breakthrough immediately.

Calm your mind.

Follow the flow.

Avoid pride and impatience.

Move according to principles.

Unite mind and thought.

Regulate energy through meridians.

Focus intent, harmonize body.

Activate channels and orifices.

No!

The energy is going wild!

Don't move!

This is complete nonsense.

He broke through!

Father.

You're alright now.

I broke through!

After more than ten years,

I finally broke through.

Doctor Ye.

You're truly miraculous.

On behalf of the entire Tang family,

I thank you, Doctor Ye.

Something's wrong.

What's wrong?

I feel my health is better than ever.

Your illness was caused by conflicting energy flows,

leading to cultivation deviation.

But the root cause isn't your practice method,

it's because this cultivation technique

itself has flaws.

Impossible.

The method I practice

was personally taught by Master Xuanji.

Hmph.

Master Xuanji?

That explains everything.

Do you know

many of the problems in Maiqing City

were caused by Master Xuanji?

I believe in the technique he taught you,

there must be a phrase about 'circulating energy

to break through barriers.'

Yes, exactly.

How did you know that?

I haven't even told Tang Feng about this.

Good thing you didn't.

Otherwise we'd have another patient.

Martial arts healers are already rare.

If you'd brought in an amateur,

you might be attending a funeral tonight.

I was skeptical before,

thinking the Ancient Medical Sect was fake.

But after witnessing Dr. Ye's medical skills,

I'm completely convinced.

I formally apologize to you and the Ancient Medical Sect.

I'm sorry.

Every profession has its specialists.

Some find the way before others.

Our Ancient Medical Sect's techniques

specialize in treating these unusual conditions.

Healing the sick

is the duty of all healers.

Master,

I, Tang Tianyi,

thank you for saving my life.

From now on,

you are a great benefactor to our Tang family.

Thank you, Dr. Ye, for your help.

This isn't necessary.

Please stand up.

This Master Xuanji is truly despicable,

daring to scheme against our Tang family.

Do you have any way to contact this Master Xuanji?

Master Xuanji said he enjoys wandering around,

and left no contact information.

He only said we'd meet again if fate allows.

How about this:

I'll have Tang Feng announce that I'm gravely ill

and offer a large reward for treatment,

to lure him back.

It won't work.

With the art of energy observation,

he would know you're not seriously ill.

Master Xuanji acts with vicious cruelty,

using harmful energy to hurt people everywhere,

causing many to suffer from illness.

This debt

should be settled by our Ancient Medical Sect.

Dr. Ye,

here's 200,000 as your fee.

Just a small token.

Please accept it.

I don't care much about money,

but since the Tang family is a martial arts family,

could you introduce me to today's martial arts world?

Take Director Ma to rest first.

I need to speak with this young doctor.

Martial artists are generally divided into four levels,

namely Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow.

And each major level

is further divided into early stage,

middle stage, late stage, and grand perfection.

Above the Heaven Rank?

Are there any more powerful martial artists?

Martial arts have declined nowadays.

Many heads of major sects only reach the Mystic Rank.

Earth Rank practitioners can become sect masters.

Heaven Rank martial artists are extremely rare.

Each one in today's martial arts world

is revered like a god.

As for beyond the Heaven Rank,

legends speak of Sages.

Unfortunately,

in this day and age,

Sages are merely legends.

What rank would Master Tang's cultivation be considered?

My Tang family is known as a martial arts clan,

but in my generation,

the highest cultivation is just me and Feng,

only at the Yellow Rank.

If I hadn't met my benefactor today,

I might never have reached the Mystic Rank in this lifetime.

However, in all of Maiqing City,

only one person has reached mid-Mystic Rank.

Everyone else is below my level.

What about the magical arts branch?

These magical arts are

invisible and intangible to ordinary people.

I only know the general outline.

Magic practitioners are divided into roughly four levels:

Magic Adepts,

Magic Masters,

Magic Grandmasters and Magic Patriarchs.

In martial arts, I'm at the Mystic Rank.

In magic, I'm at the Grandmaster level.

There's still room for improvement.

Who's there?

Where are you?

I've already arrived at the karaoke place.

Hurry up and get here!

Thank you for sharing, Master Tang.

Remember to take your medicine on time.

I'll be going now.

I'll have Feng see you out.

Dr. Ye,

My father said

this 200,000 consultation fee

might not matter to you,

but if you don't accept it,

it would be discourteous of our Tang family.

Please do accept it.

I saw you arrived in Director Ma's car.

This SUV is newly purchased by me.

I'd like to give it to you

as my personal token of gratitude.

Let me be clear,

if you feel obligated,

then forget it.

No, not at all.

You saved my father's life.

I don't accept rewards I haven't earned.

How about this?

This Flowing Light Finger technique

perfectly complements your current cultivation method.

If you practice it diligently,

one day reaching the Mystic Rank

won't be difficult.

Thank you, Dr. Ye.

Dr. Ye.

I'll have my people handle the paperwork now.

The car will be registered under your name soon.

Dr. Ye.

If you come here tonight.

Don't worry about it.

I'm just coming with a friend to hang out.

Alright.

Let me know if you need anything.

I'll be going now.

Han Shuai, what happened to your hand?

Just two days and you're already injured.

I got it while preparing Yuting's birthday gift.

It's so ugly.

How can you be so shallow?

I made it myself.

It has Yuting's name on it.

And my own blood too.

How is it ugly?

You can buy these everywhere in the market.

Are you sure this clownish thing

Will impress her?

Let's not talk about the gift first.

You're dressed way too casually.

You plan to win her over dressed like this?

What do you know?

I've figured out a confession strategy.

Called 'gradual progression.'

Right now I don't have a job.

Just a sincere heart.

After spending time together.

She'll discover I'm handsome and talented.

And that I love her deeply.

Yuting will be thrilled.

And open her heart to me.

Enough, enough.

So much for 'gradual progression.'

Keep pretending.

Be careful not to scare her away.

Before she discovers your handsomeness and talent.

She might reject you.

Then it would be a real loss.

You don't understand.

What Yuting and I have is pure love.

It's hearts connecting.

No tricks.

Just true love.

Stop watching so many romantic dramas.

I called you here today.

Because I have a rival in love.

That guy is a senior.

His family runs a liquor distribution business.

His personal life is a mess.

Although Yuting wouldn't like someone like him,

I'm afraid he might sweet-talk her.

So I asked you here for some advice.

Aren't you afraid I might steal your thunder?

After giving advice,

what if Yuting falls for me instead?

Stop messing with me.

Just be a good wingman.

I'll reward you well if this works out.

Brother Wolf,

that guy is Ye Bufan.

If you can teach him a good lesson,

I'll pay you every penny, brother.

If you can make him agree

to give Linlin a job,

I'll double your payment.

Get the money ready.

We'll wait for him to come out here,

then find a place to deal with him.

Why wait?

Let's just go in and drag him out for a beating.

I'm coming too.

I want to see him kneeling and begging for mercy.

Do you know what place this is?

Yeweiyang Karaoke Club.

This is Boss Ma's place.

We need to show some respect.

But...

I get it, I get it.

Brother Wolf, you're the boss.

Well, well.

Han Shuai.

I booked this private room,

and you dare to show up today?

It's Yuting's birthday today.

I'm her boyfriend,

so of course I'm here.

Boyfriend?

Who? You?

I wonder where you get the nerve.

Yuting hasn't even acknowledged you,

and even if she had,

I'd still change her standards for choosing a partner today.

What, make her prefer monkeys instead?

That would be interesting.

Who's this?

Is he your backup?

He looks even worse than you.

Young Master Tao, listen to yourself.

Isn't that a bit harsh?

Someone like him can't possibly know decent people.

Birds of a feather

flock together.

Such a cultured man!

Why didn't I think of

describing you misfits that way?

Looking down on others.

Let me introduce you.

This is Niu Haotian,

Young Master Niu.

His family runs a chain hotel business.

He has extensive connections.

And look at those muscles.

He's many girls' dream guy.

And this is

Yang Xu, Young Master Yang.

His father is the right-hand man of Boss Xu in the West District,

a top-ranking veteran in the company.

But he himself has a natural love for arts,

and at such a young age, he's already talented and charming.

What are you laughing at?

Not convinced?

I give up.

Talking so fancy.

Just a spoiled rich kid.

A good-for-nothing who wastes money.

What's so great about him?

You admire them so much.

Birds of a feather flock together.

You found your match.

Watch your mouth.

Want me to call someone to teach you a lesson?

What?

Need to call for backup?

Are your hands too weak?

Or are you just unable to move?

Young Master Tao, don't be angry.

This is Mr. Ma's property.

That's exactly why he's acting tough.

Just putting on a show.

Young Master Tao, we're here to have fun.

Fighting ruins the mood.

What if we scare beautiful Yuting away?

That would be a shame.

Fine.

For Yuting's sake.

You're off the hook.

Han.

It's still early.

I was going to challenge you.

But looking at your hand.

I suggest you go home and rest.

Challenge what?

I'll take his place.

I, Master Niu, don't fight nobodies.

What's your name?

Tell me.

Ye Bufan.

Alright.

I'll play with you guys.

Arm wrestling.

Use as many hands as you want.

The loser doesn't need to do anything else.

Just call the winner 'master.'

That doesn't count.

I wasn't ready.

Fine.

Use as many hands as you want.

It's been a while since I've seen

a worthy opponent like you.

Wait.

What about the bet?

We're just making friends through competition.

No need to go too far.

It's the code of honor.

Friendship comes first.

Today we should show our gentlemanly manners.

Testing strength is so crude.

It's entertainment.

We should do something more sophisticated.

Here.

Pick a card.

Then put it back.

I can find out which card it is.

Putting it back is too much trouble.

Just guess.

Why aren't you following the routine?

Who could possibly guess that?

Five of diamonds.

You must have peeked.

If you're so good,

guess this one.

You're holding two cards.

The top one is three of hearts.

The bottom one is ace of spades.

Cut the crap.

Look at you two.

Dressed so casually without any effort to present yourselves.

At least wear a suit and change your shoes.

Improve your personal style.

All beautiful women love men with taste.

Yuting isn't that kind of person.

You dare to compete with Young Master Tao?

Why don't you look in a mirror and see what you're really worth?

Guys like you are so uncouth.

With your level of refinement,

you're only fit to be our background characters.

You think you can go against Young Master Tao?

You don't have what it takes.

Yuting isn't that kind of person.

How dare you be Young Master Tao's love rival.

Why don't you look in a mirror and see what you're really like?

People like you are so crude.

With your level of refinement.

You're only fit to be our background decoration.

You still want to go against Young Master Tao.

You don't have that destiny.

Understand?

Hahaha.

Well said.

That was perfectly said.

Truth.

Han Shuai.

Don't even dream about pursuing Yuting anymore.

The world is just that cruel.

Though I only like Yuting moderately.

But.

She's still not someone you can pursue.

I suggest you quietly back off.

Go home and cry into your pillow.

Hahaha.

In your eyes, is Yuting.

Really that easy to fool?

You guys.

Your speeches were brilliant.

Missing them would be life's loss.

I'm planning to play them for Yuting later.

So she can learn from them too.

How about that?

Delete that recording right now.

What do you really want?

Delete that recording.

I can delete it

if you apologize to Han.

Yuting should be here soon, right?

Right?

It's almost time.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong just now.

Can't hear you.

Speak up.

I'm sorry.

You spoke too fast.

Couldn't hear clearly.

I'm sorry.

And you two as well.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Now can you delete the recording?

You act so convincingly

but it's all just for show.

Like your intelligence is offline.

Just like you three.

I was just messing with you.

I didn't even unlock my phone.

How could I record anything?

You little punk, you dare trick me?

Brother Xu,

calm down.

It's not worth it.

That's right, Brother Xu.

It's not good to cause trouble at Master Ma's place.

We'll deal with him later.

You're something else,

making these three guys run in circles.

Ye Bufan,

don't think you're clever just because you pulled a little trick.

Let me tell you,

this is Master Ma's property.

You've never heard of Master Ma, have you?

Master Ma not only has incredible skills,

but also has business partnerships

with major corporations.

That's right.

Master Ma is really powerful,

and has extensive connections.

That's Master Ma's own ability.

Why are you guys showing off like this?

You...

I'm sorry

for keeping everyone waiting.

Why is everyone standing?

Brother Tao predicted your arrival perfectly,

knew you were coming,

so we all stood up to welcome you.

Thank you ladies for coming from so far away.

Come in,

I've booked a private room.

Let's have a great time tonight.

Yuting,

sit here.

Sit in the middle.

The view is better from the middle,

and it's convenient for singing later.

Everyone, listen up.

Today is Yuting's birthday.

We've been thinking,

we must give Yuting a surprise.

Yes,

let's do it.

Thank you.

Aren't you here for Yuting's birthday?

You're the guest,

so you go first.

Yuting,

this is the birthday gift I prepared for you.

Happy birthday.

Han Shuai

What's this?

You're not giving Yuting a big diamond ring, are you?

With Han Shuai's sincerity,

the diamond ring must be quite impressive.

Let me take a look.

Yuting,

this is a ring I made myself,

representing my sincere feelings.

Yuting,

look at the birthday gift I prepared for you.

Young Master Tao's gift must be extraordinary.

Let's have a look.

Oh my goodness!

This dazzling frame!

Wait,

is this made of gold?

Young Master Tao,

that's really generous!

Yuting,

this globe is made of pure gold,

symbolizing that my heart for you

is even more genuine than gold.

This is too valuable.

I-I can't accept it.

The globe represents the entire world,

meaning Yuting is my whole world.

Whether it's Bali on Qi Island

or romantic Seychelles,

I can take you to experience them all.

Yuting,

be my girlfriend.

First of all,

Bali is not on Qi Island.

Secondly,

the romance of Seychelles

is better left unmentioned.

Speaking of romance,

I'd recommend Guli Bangaluo Mountain or the Louvre instead.

If Yuting likes good food,

I know several nice places in Australia.

You've been to many places.

Yes,

Maldives is great for vacations.

Let's go together during the holidays.

Yuting,

you haven't answered me yet.

Young Master Tao!

Don't worry.

I'll call a doctor.

Strange,

it doesn't hurt anymore.

Young man,

are you a doctor?

I just know a little about medicine.

Your pain just now

was caused by blockage from eating too much rich food.

Just regulate your breathing

and the pain will stop.

But remember,

don't get emotional at all.

Otherwise...

Yuting,

what's your answer?

This gift is too expensive.

Give it to someone else.

If you just say yes to me,

I have plenty more gifts like this.

Rather than love bought with money,

I prefer love built with heart

and wisdom, step by step.

The former fades when money runs out.

But the latter

allows us to overcome hardships together.

No, no, no.

I would never let you suffer,

absolutely not.

I said don't get excited.

Your confession

is way too much.

Love without money is only fit for...

Low-class, despicable, shameless people.

I advise you ladies

never to associate with such vulgar people

and lower your standards.

I think the vulgar ones aren't them.

Miss Shi is right.

Please wait a moment.

Young Master Tao has prepared a surprise for you.

Mr. Tao.

How are you feeling?

It's nothing.

Mr. Tao.

Look, there's a piano over there.

I've heard you play the piano before.

It was absolutely heavenly.

Could you play something for the birthday person?

Can you show off a little?

Show off what?

I didn't study properly when I was young.

I can only play 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.

Sigh.

In the end, it's still up to me.

You know how to play?

I thought your family wasn't well-off.

I just learned.

I got my piano level 10 certificate a long time ago.

Yuting, excuse my poor playing.

This music sounds so familiar.

It's Canon.

Miss Shi, listen.

It's so melodious and flowing.

With such dramatic rises and falls.

This represents Mr. Tao's surging emotions.

As he plays solo for you.

Young man.

Are you seriously ill or something?

Seems like you really got that level 10 certificate a long time ago.

The rhythm in the second half was chaotic.

And you hit thirteen wrong notes.

I thought it sounded strange too.

What do you mean 'wrong notes'?

I was improvising.

You don't know how to appreciate music yet you talk nonsense.

If you're so good.

Can you even play?

Yeah.

If you think you can do better, go ahead.

You all lack skill.

But have plenty of sour grapes.

Look at you two acting like you've never seen anything.

Can you even play piano?

No, please don't.

I'm just happy you all came to celebrate my birthday.

My hand is injured.

Since you're asking to embarrass yourselves.

I'll grant your wish.

By the way.

My skills.

Were all learned from him.

Are you really going to play 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'?

No wonder.

The keys on this side are a bit harder.

You need to press with more force when playing.

Such a show-off.

Let's see what you can actually play.

I learned this piece when I was young.

I think it's called

Beethoven's Second Symphony.

When Beethoven composed this,

he refused to accept his illness.

He poured his longing for happiness into the music,

his desire to recover.

Hoping desperately for

love.

You can't even finish playing one complete piece,

so how can you show off your skills?

Warm-up complete.

Now I'll play 'Flight of the Bumblebee' for you.

Wait.

You're going to play with one hand?

Everyone knows this piece requires both hands.

How can you play the accompaniment with just one hand?

Just because you can't do it

doesn't mean my teacher couldn't teach me how.

Alright.

I'm going to record this and post it online.

What?

This is impossible.

This must be a recording.

How can someone play four notes simultaneously with one hand?

No, that's not it.

Human hearing

can only distinguish sounds that are more than 10 milliseconds apart.

If two sounds occur within 10 milliseconds of each other,

people will perceive them

as happening simultaneously.

Stop! Stop!

Stop right now!

What's wrong?

I know you must be playing it from your phone in your pocket.

Nobody can play 'Flight of the Bumblebee' like this.

You can't even tell where the sound is coming from,

yet you passed level 10 piano?

You must be joking.

Yuting,

happy birthday.

Thank you! Thank you!

Check out this video of someone playing 'Flight of the Bumblebee' with one hand.

It can't be real, can it?

There are comments explaining how it works.

This is so cool!

From now on,

he's my piano prince,

my dream lover.

This is my cousin who's come from far away.

Take care of him.

Make sure he has

the best food, drinks, and entertainment while he's here.

I'll make sure the boss is satisfied.

Wow!

I just posted this two minutes ago,

and it already has over 10,000 likes.

So awesome!

Today is Yuting's birthday.

The birthday cake is the main event.

Wei,

didn't you prepare a cake for Yuting?

They've brought it.

Yes.

Cake! Cake!

It's beautiful!

So exquisite.

Where did you order it from?

It must have been expensive.

This was made by a top pastry chef.

It costs 8,800.

Today is Yuting's birthday.

Spending a little money is nothing.

I specially ordered six layers,

symbolizing good fortune.

I wish you smooth sailing in your life and career.

Thank you.

You shouldn't have hidden your wealth.

This is nothing.

Others pretend to be weak but are actually strong,

but you're just acting like a real pig.

You've completely embraced the role.

Yuting, come here.

Come blow out the candles and make a wish.

Cream fight!

Ah! My makeup!

What are you guys doing?

These men

are always so rough.

What kind of day is this?

Why such bad luck?

Young Master Tao's buddies are something else,

how could they let him fall into the cake?

What a waste.

Such a good cake.

Never mind.

Take the loss now,

and you can make them treat you later as an apology.

That makes sense.

By the way, Yuting,

if you really like Han Shuai,

I can help you.

Xiaozhen,

what a coincidence.

Come back with me and continue singing.

These men

Always so clumsy.

What kind of day is this?

Why such bad luck?

Young Master Tao and his good-for-nothing friends.

How did they let Young Master Tao fall into the cake?

What a waste.

Such a good cake.

Never mind.

Take a small loss now.

You can make them treat you to dinner as an apology later.

That makes sense.

By the way, Yuting.

If you really like Han Shuai,

I can help you make a move.

But if I like someone in the future,

you have to help me too.

Whether things work out between Han Shuai and me or not,

I'll help you anyway.

I knew it.

Sister Shi is the best.

Xiaozhen.

What a coincidence.

Come back with me and continue singing.

Damn it.

What are you doing?

Can't you just admit you made a mistake?

How dare you

slap me in the face like that!

You better explain yourself today,

or this isn't over.

You disgusting pervert!

How dare you take advantage of me!

Look at your ugly face. You're not worthy.

Who are you calling ugly?

Let me go!

Let her go!

Apologize to me now!

Help! Tao!

She bit me!

You dare hit me?

Do you know who I am?

Let's see if you dare try again!

Taking advantage of me!

This lady is my friend.

I don't care who you are.

If you bully my friend,

you'd better apologize.

Understand?

Forget it, forget it.

It's just a small matter.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

Fine.

For Yuting's sake today,

I'll let this go.

You guys

have guts.

Which room are you from?

Look at your pathetic face, trying to act tough.

Fine!

I'll be waiting.

If you've got the courage, come find us in the Platinum VIP room.

I, Master Tao, will be expecting you.

Just you wait!

Alright!

Laying hands on my cousin in my karaoke club!

Honey, don't be angry.

If we don't teach these youngsters a lesson,

they'll think they can do whatever they want.

Yuting!

What just happened?

Are you okay?

Someone was harassing Xiaoli.

I'm fine.

I was protecting her.

How could anything happen to Yuting

unlike some people

who hide in their shells like turtles

when trouble comes.

Yuting,

when you're with me,

there's nothing in all of Maiqing City

that I can't handle.

Thank you all just now,

gentlemen.

Thanks for your help.

Especially you, Tao.

You're my hero.

Everyone,

why don't we

call it a night

and go home?

How can we do that?

Today is your birthday!

Back to the room.

We're not leaving until we're drunk!

I'm afraid those people might come back looking for trouble.

Don't worry. I'll handle everything.

Let's go.

Let's go back and continue the party.

Keep partying!

Yuting, no matter what happens,

just leave it to Master Tao to handle it.

Yes.

This place belongs to Boss Ma.

If young master Tao makes one call to Boss Ma,

anything can be taken care of.

You guys just enjoy yourselves.

Leave everything else to me.

It's fine.

Just hang out with them.

What?

A beautiful woman wants to meet me?

I'm warning you.

Don't test me with impossible choices.

Whatever.

You really don't have time?

She's gorgeous,

but I'm busy right now.

Have dinner with me.

I've listened to that piano piece online 8 times already.

My head is buzzing.

Fine.

I won't say anything.

Which room is he in?

Boss Ma has ordered

to invite them to drink in a private room.

He said he's waiting for me in the Platinum Room.

And that woman,

she's really too arrogant.

I was just a bit drunk

and mistook someone else for her.

Leave this to the security team.

We'll handle it properly.

Let's go.

Take them to see Boss Ma

and sort things out face to face.

Now,

I'll sing a song for our birthday person.

True Love.

That's her.

Xiaoli!

Let her go!

What do you want?

What?

Weren't you just taking advantage of your numbers

to bully people here?

What should we do?

In business, harmony brings wealth.

I'll give you five minutes

to bring out whoever's behind this.

If you can't,

then contact your families

to discuss compensation.

In any case,

in five minutes,

I want to see you in Boss Ma's private room.

No way.

We need to call the police right now,

or Huang Xiaoli will be in serious danger.

What are you doing?

If we call the police, we'll all get arrested.

But what about Xiaoli?

You're asking for trouble.

Don't drag us into this.

Nobody wanted

this to happen.

Let's just forget about it

and leave her alone.

I can't believe

you're this kind of person.

That's Boss Ma we're talking about.

Everyone in this room

wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Yuting, wait for me!

If you won't save them,

I will.

Even if it costs me everything,

I can't just stand by and do nothing.

Yuting, wait for me!

Damn it,

bad luck.

Even the girl you like brings bad luck.

Young Master Tao,

then let's

get out of here.

Causing trouble at Master Ma Jiu's place,

where could we possibly run to?

What should we do then?

Young Master Tao,

if Master Ma Jiu really gets furious

and cuts off all cooperation with my family,

my father will kill me.

It's all that Xiaoli's fault,

why did she have to dress so provocatively?

She only brings me trouble.

What's going on?

Who did this?

Can't you tell?

I'm saying,

do you believe he has a stomachache?

Quick,

go help Yuting!

What exactly happened?

Husband,

don't make yourself sick with anger.

Let's talk this through.

Release my friend first.

Just you alone?

You're the one who beat up my cousin.

Hey, hey, hey!

She didn't hit him.

But they're together.

Yuting, don't be afraid.

I'm here.

These two.

Not them.

Boss Jiu.

These three were lurking suspiciously at the door.

I've brought them in for you.

I'll give you three seconds.

Who wants to explain first?

Boss... Boss Jiu.

This is... this is all a misunderstanding.

We had no idea.

My cousin.

Who beat him up?

Boss Jiu.

My father is Tao Zijun.

Could you let me off for my father's sake?

Cut me some slack.

Tao Zijun, the liquor supplier?

You beat up my cousin.

And you want me to

show respect to him?

Boss Jiu.

My father is Niu Baocai from Hailong Hotel.

Perhaps you could...

Boss Jiu.

My father works for Boss Xu in the West District.

Did I ask for your family backgrounds?

Sorry, Boss Jiu. Sorry.

You three have nothing to say?

We didn't do anything wrong.

Release my friend right now.

Or I'll call the police.

Ha ha ha.

Little girl.

We should be the ones calling the police.

It was just a misunderstanding.

But you ganged up on him.

Arrest them and take them to the police station.

What are you doing?

Stay back!

I dare anyone to touch her.

Ha ha ha ha.

Young Master Tao.

Aren't you pursuing Yuting?

Come over and explain yourself.

Boss Ma Jiu.

Please don't misunderstand.

She and I are just casual friends.

No, not even friends.

We have no relationship at all.

Including that girl next to you.

I truly just met her today.

We're not close.

Really not close at all.

This has nothing to do with you.

Move.

Now.

Don't even think about hurting Yuting.

Looks like we'll have to settle this the martial way.

Young man.

This had nothing to do with you originally.

But you hurt my men.

What a shame.

No problem.

If I don't teach you a lesson today,

you'll never learn to be reasonable.

Ha ha ha ha.

Boss Jiu, I also just met him today.

Please be fair, Boss Jiu.

Me too, me too, me too.

I've dominated the martial arts world for over a decade.

That's the funniest joke I've ever heard.

Let's do this.

If you can beat them.

I, Ma Jiu,

will reason with you face to face.

Catch him!

Go!

Charge!

Kid,

you just scared my wife.

Bao,

don't worry,

I'll handle this to calm my sister-in-law down.

This guy is definitely going to lose.

Bao is the street boxing champion,

a martial arts master.

His fighting style is fierce,

he's been almost unbeatable in one-on-one fights for years.

My father's friend once challenged him,

and he's still recovering in Maiqing Hospital's rehabilitation department.

This guy looks tough.

Take Yuting and run first.

I'll hold him off.

Brother,

dealing with this kind of trash

doesn't require your help.

You're asking for death.

He's the one who was in the urban village that day,

forcing us to eat those buns.

Am I seeing things right?

You're that good?

So you're the one who caused trouble in the urban village.

What's your name?

Ye Bufan.

I'll give you a chance

to be my bodyguard.

The unpleasant things that happened tonight,

I can let them slide.

Be your bodyguard?

Are you worthy?

He's the one who was in the urban village that day

The one who forced us to eat those buns.

I'm not mistaken, am I?

You're so impressive.

So you're the one causing trouble in the urban village.

What's your name?

Ye Bufan.

I'll give you a chance

To be my bodyguard.

The unpleasant things tonight

I can let them slide.

Be your bodyguard?

Are you worthy?

Kid

Let me give you some advice.

Even if you know some martial arts

You have no right to act high and mighty in front of me.

No wonder after ten years of hustling

You've only reached this level.

Your limited vision has restricted your growth.

Get ready to defend yourself.

Boss Jiu.

Step aside.

Boss Jiu.

How could

This is impossible.

Come here.

What?

Your backs are weak.

Haha!

Ye Bufan, you're in trouble now.

How dare you challenge Master Ma Jiu.

Just wait.

His shareholders can ruin your career with a snap of their fingers.

You have no future

at Maiqing anymore.

Fine.

I'd like to see that for myself.

Kid.

If you want to play hardball,

I'm all in.

What are you doing?

While there's still time,

hurry up and apologize to Master Jiu.

I've already beaten them all.

None of you even have the courage to stand up straight.

You.

Yes.

I'm Ma Jiu.

Please come over.

Someone's causing trouble at our Ye Weiyang.

I'm right here today.

Let's talk face to face. With truth on my side, I have nothing to fear.

When your boss arrives,

we'll have

a proper talk.

Kid.

Stop showing off.

You're finished when he gets here.

Better worry about yourself first.

Boy.

Just wait.

You'll be apologizing soon enough.

Bullying others and making threats.

Who do you think you're scaring?

Master Jiu.

My legs are numb.

Let me stretch my legs.

Stretch a bit.

Would you mind giving up your seat?

Stop right there.

Find a waiter to clean up this table,

bring some clean glasses,

and pour us some orange juice.

Okay.

Um,

I'll go right away.

Right away.

Ye Bufan, you're crazy!

I'm not hanging around with a madman.

This isn't over yet.

Why did she run off?

No.

I need to call her back.

No need.

Alright.

He's only going to be smug for a little while.

If you're worried,

take your wife and leave first.

I'll be fine on my own.

No way.

I can't leave you here alone.

We agreed:

celebrate victories together,

face defeats together.

Why don't you go back first?

I'll find you after I handle this.

What kind of person do you think I am?

I'd even come to rescue Huang Xiaoli,

how could I abandon you?

Why are you acting like we're heading to the execution ground?

You really don't trust me?

If you want to stay, stand aside.

If not, leave quickly.

Both of you, come sit.

Let's chat while we wait.

By the way,

sister-in-law,

I heard you're from the Business School.

Have you found a job yet?

Not yet.

How about this?

My restaurant needs a trustworthy general manager right now.

Are you interested?

I just graduated.

Isn't such a high position inappropriate for me?

If you feel you don't deserve the salary I'm offering,

just watch carefully and learn.

Ask your staff when you don't understand something.

You've passed the character test.

Everything else is just details.

Don't waste Manager Ye's kindness.

It's fine.

For management issues,

if you're unsure,

I can give you plenty of advice.

If nothing else,

I know how to handle

assets worth hundreds of millions.

You know about that too?

The waiter will be here soon.

I've brought orange juice first.

Just a moment.

Then let me congratulate Manager Shi on your new position.

Brother, I'm sorry.

It's all my fault for causing you trouble.

A real man knows when to bend and when to stand firm.

He won't be jumping around for much longer.

You truly are a master.

I feel completely refreshed after your treatment.

It really works.

How much do I owe you?

This is a secret technique from my Qingyun Sect,

specifically designed to treat such symptoms.

However, the magnetic field here is extremely strange,

making it easy for negative energy to gather.

Forcing construction will surely lead to disaster.

It would be best to make alternative plans soon.

But the last building here is about to be topped off.

It will soon be...

What's meant to be will be,

what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced.

Within fifteen days,

great disaster will befall this place.

My friend,

it would be wise to sell this property soon.

Whether you believe it or not,

the decision is yours.

Cheers.

Coming.

Here he comes.

Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang is really here.

Let's see if he's still arrogant.

You'll eventually pay for what you've done.

The Tang family practices martial arts

They're one of the top families in Maiqing.

From now on

There's no place for you in Maiqing anymore.

Mr. Tang

That's the guy.

You. Apologize.

Mr. Tang wants you to apologize.

I'm talking to you.

Apologize now.

If Dr. Ye doesn't forgive you

You'll have to deal with the consequences.

Mr. Tang, what do you mean?

Dr. Ye

Saved my father.

Is that

Clear enough for you?

Young Master Ye, please forgive my ignorance

I sincerely apologize to you.

What's really going on?

How could he treat Tang Feng's father?

What are you doing?

My back hurts.

The Tang family is all on Ye Bufan's side.

Did he let you stand up straight?

Bow down.

If Ye Bufan disapproves,

we bow down.

When Ye Bufan is powerful,

we still bow down.

When can we stand up straight?

Dr. Ye,

I apologize to you.

I've learned about the situation on my way here.

Ma Jiu was at fault first.

What do you think

should be done about this?

Ma Jiu failed to recognize your greatness.

I hope you can be merciful, Dr. Ye.

Who exactly is this Ye Bufan?

Why is President Tang backing him up?

We're in big trouble.

Even if we escape this time,

without the Tang family's support,

Boss Jiu might be in danger.

This guy is quite impressive.

He's really your college roommate?

He even made me pay for his all-night internet café sessions before.

This guy has been keeping secrets.

Today was just a misunderstanding.

His apology seems sincere.

Let's put this matter to rest.

How dare they run before I finish speaking.

Forget it.

Just a few bowing enthusiasts.

Not worth bothering with them.

Let me thank Dr. Ye on behalf of Ma Jiu.

You may rise.

Those who don't know cannot be blamed.

However,

However,

the rent in the urban village

can't be arbitrarily charged anymore.

Yes, I promise.

Couldn't catch up with him.

Slow down.

Take it easy.

My legs are numb.

If we'd known that Ye guy was so powerful,

we should have shown off in front of Boss Ma Jiu.

You know Ye Bufan?

Yes, why?

Ye Bufan is my big brother.

What do you want?

Ye Bufan really is our brother.

How about I take you there?

Let's not.

I don't want to make a scene.

I'll go ahead.

You guys have fun.

Alright,

whatever you say.

I'm off.

Bye-bye.

Ye Bufan.

Who are you?

Who I am doesn't matter.

What matters is

you need to have a match with me.

No time.

We'll talk another day.

Oh,

then I'll have to fight your friend instead.

Who?

Don't know him.

No, Master Ye!

Help me!

Still pretending?

My legs are numb.

Go stop him.

Beating us won't help.

It's useless.

I do what I want.

You got a problem with that?

I'm making you apologize in front of all these people.

I wouldn't dare.

It's just that

if word of this gets out,

I'm afraid I can't control my men.

Ma Jiu.

You've been with the Tang family for so many years.

Have I ever wronged you?

Mr. Tang.

I would go through fire and water for the Tang family,

without hesitation.

That Dr. Ye saved the lives of the He family patriarch and my father,

and single-handedly took down a counterfeit medicine operation.

To put it bluntly,

being taught a lesson by him personally

is your good fortune.

You've fought with him,

you know what he's capable of.

I'll just say one thing.

Establish a good relationship with him,

this could be your opportunity to rise up.

Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Tang.

Mr. Tang, Boss Jiu,

Dr. Ye has been cornered.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

Seems like you have quite a few enemies.

The one coming after you today

is the famous Black Wolf from the martial arts world.

Let me be clear upfront.

You won't escape a beating.

But if you have a good attitude

and are willing to help Linlin find a job,

I can ask my brother to go easy on you.

These days, to find a job,

you guys are really going too far.

It's hard to get a taxi over there.

You're in trouble.

No, they're the ones in trouble.

Kid, let's go somewhere else.

Fighting here will anger Boss Ma Jiu,

and you can't afford the consequences.

If you don't even have the courage to fight here,

I suggest you just go home.

Fine, I'll make this quick.

And equipment too.

Seems you never planned to fight fair.

What?

What?

Master Jiu.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Attacking my honored guest at my doorstep.

What's there to misunderstand?

No, I didn't know!

What are you doing?

Don't run!

Stop being dramatic.

Lie down with the rest of us.

Think of something quick!

If Black Wolf escapes, we're finished.

Don't rush me.

I have a brilliant plan.

Mr. Tang.

Uncle Ye.

He was slandering you.

We fought him hard and got beaten like this.

This doesn't concern you.

Why are you still here?

Well...

Thank you, Uncle Ye.

We'll take our leave now.

You've been through a lot.

You can go now.

Let him go.

I was forced to do it.

You know.

This Ma guy is no good.

Is that so?

I actually think.

You two make quite a good match.

What are you laughing at?

Don't think you've won.

You have another trick up your sleeve.

Come on, show me what you've got.

Clean your neck.

And wait for justice to be served.

You're forcing people to kneel in public.

Engaging in a street brawl.

Causing chaos in Maiqing City.

I'll make you pay for this.

Officer.

These thugs were committing violence in public.

And forcing innocent people to kneel.

Stripping away their dignity.

I hope you'll uphold justice.

And punish these criminals severely.

To restore peace to Maiqing.

Shuangshuang.

Why are you here?

Cut the crap. We're on a mission.

Officer He,

we meet again.

You can't control your staff again?

Not at all.

We're all law-abiding businessmen.

Why don't you let the person who called the police explain?

So you all know each other?

Stand up when you speak.

Officer,

these people are ruthless predators.

Look, I'm just an ordinary citizen,

forced to kneel in public by them.

In front of everyone.

It's absolutely lawless!

Stand up when you talk.

Why are you kneeling?

Look at my knees.

I wasn't kneeling for just a few minutes.

I've been kneeling here for over half an hour.

Ma Jiu,

did this happen?

I didn't even bother with him.

He knelt down by himself.

Officer,

they threatened me with violence.

I was forced by their intimidation

to kneel down.

What violence?

Where were you hit?

Mental oppression,

verbal intimidation,

threatening presence.

You're quite sensitive.

Why did you come here,

and why would they mentally oppress you?

My girlfriend and I

wanted to take a walk after dinner,

but unexpectedly ran into these criminals.

They verbally intimidated me

and forced me to kneel.

This Ye Wei Yang is a den of iniquity.

Officer, you must rid the public of this menace.

Whose SUV is this?

Mine.

Then why didn't you drive away?

They were blocking me.

Let me see if I understand correctly.

They stopped your SUV in the street,

then verbally threatened you,

forcing you to get out of your vehicle,

and then made you kneel in public?

Y-yes, that's right.

What would they gain from that?

Is watching you kneel entertaining or what?

Well, you see,

these people have no respect for the law.

You can't use normal logic to understand them.

Ma Jiu,

can we check the surveillance footage?

Of course.

We're all law-abiding citizens.

This guy brought a troublemaker to harass my VIP guest, Mr. Ye.

We chased him away.

So he made a false police report.

No, no.

It's all a misunderstanding.

I had too much to drink.

My head was spinning.

Drunk driving?

No, no.

That's not it.

How should I explain...

Don't bother explaining.

Perfect timing.

According to Director Song's confession,

you instructed him to impersonate a Health Department director.

You're suspected of impersonating a public official.

Please come with us for questioning.

Oh, and your female companion too.

I...

Officer,

this is a mistake!

Not bad.

Just a few days and you're already tight with Ma Jiu.

Your fighting skills are impressive.

Teach me some moves sometime.

Call me uncle a few times,

and I'll take care of you.

Cut the talk.

Behave yourself.

Come with me to make a statement.

Just a moment.

By the way,

you can start working at my place tomorrow morning.

Just dress somewhat formally.

Okay.

You're here early.

Get familiar with the hotel by following them around.

Please.

Xiaofan,

this girl is nice.

Tell me honestly,

between her and that He girl,

which one is your girlfriend?

Mom, what are you thinking?

Neither of them.

You're not getting any younger.

If you found a girlfriend,

I could give your parents an explanation.

You are my mother.

No need to explain to anyone else.

Stop changing the subject.

You need to take this seriously.

I'll arrange a blind date for you soon.

You must go.

Hello?

It's urgent.

Okay, I'm coming right away.

Hey!

This kid...

What happened?

What happened?

I need you to attend an important exhibition with me.

You can help me evaluate things.

And keep the pests away.

You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend again?

What?

Aren't you willing to be my boyfriend?

I am.

But all this back and forth between real and fake is troublesome.

Why don't I just pretend for the rest of our lives?

Hmph.

Dream on.

I don't care if you find a girlfriend or not.

But you need to come whenever I call.

You're being too bossy.

I've given so many hints already.

How can he not notice anything at all?

This event includes a raw stone exhibition and an auction.

My family, the Qins, is in the jade business.

I'll buy some raw stones to replenish our inventory.

As for the auction,

I have things I want to buy there too.

10 million.

What's so special about these beads?

Look closely.

These were personally crafted by Master Xuanji.

They can awaken your potential.

Help you feel the mystical energy.

10 million is just the starting bid.

I think

they'll sell for at least 50 million.

The one who gave me the medicine

was an old Taoist named Xuanji.

This Master Xuanji is truly despicable.

How dare he scheme against our Tang family.

Now that's interesting.

Shangri-la Neighborhood Transfer Contract.

Starting bid: 100 million.

Successful bid

grants ownership of the entire neighborhood.

School, Maiqing People's Hospital...

That can't be right.

I just visited this neighborhood a few days ago.

The transportation and everything was quite good.

They supposedly invested 500 or 600 million.

How could they sell it for just 100 million?

Probably because of the frequent accidents.

Even the investigating officers got injured, I heard.

When the neighborhood was first built,

Master Xuanji warned them.

Said it was an inauspicious location.

But the developer wouldn't listen.

Now with all these incidents happening,

they're forced to sell at a low price.

So it was Master Xuanji.

No wonder the neighborhood ended up like this.

What are you implying?

Master Xuanji predicted everything accurately.

It's the developer's fault for not listening.

There are no gods in this world,

and certainly no free advice.

Let me tell you something.

The exhibition we're attending,

the host family, the Luos,

made their first fortune

under Master Xuanji's guidance.

That's how they became a prominent family in Maiqing.

The old master has also helped

other families with his guidance several times.

It works every single time.

How much does he charge for one consultation?

It's called a gratitude fee.

You make it sound so vulgar.

Those who received his guidance

earned far more than what they paid.

There are plenty of people who want his guidance,

but money alone can't secure his services.

It also depends on fate.

It's best to have no connection with him at all.

This is...

This is the Demon Refining Bottle.

In the Ancient Medical Sect's tradition,

this is one of the ten ancient divine artifacts of the cultivation world.

It can not only capture all evil spirits,

but also refine them into medicinal pills.

What's so great about an old bottle?

Its wonders

are beyond words.

Where did you get this thing?

This is the item my family sent to the auction.

You should have told me earlier if you wanted it.

It's been sitting at home for decades with no use.

We've had some cash flow issues recently,

so my father sent it to the auction.

Unfortunately, it can't be withdrawn now that it's listed.

If you want it, you'll have to bid for it yourself.

I need to see the actual item first.

We're almost there.

Let's wait in the VIP room when we arrive.

My head hurts.

The owner here is Luo Wentao, the head of the Luo family.

You'd better drop that smirking attitude.

Stop badmouthing Master Xuanji.

Are you close to him?

He's been pursuing me for some time now.

But I don't like his domineering attitude.

Do you like it when I'm domineering?

Can we please not fight among ourselves?

You help me this time,

and I'll help you next time.

By the way,

You seemed to be running away from something earlier

when you jumped into my car.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Tell me.

Maybe I can help you.

It's just my mom pressuring me to get married.

Why don't you help me out?

Well,

let's talk about it after we finish our business.

You see, the higher-ups are pushing hard,

and you're making empty promises.

I can only focus on mundane matters.

Romance

will have to wait.

What mundane matters are you dealing with?

Healing the sick,

caring for all people,

this kind of devotion to humanity,

the noble ideal of saving Maiqing -

a hothouse flower like you wouldn't understand.

Give me a break.

Chuchu, you're finally here.

I came downstairs specifically to wait for you.

Come upstairs with me to the VIP room for a chat.

And who is this?

My boyfriend.

Handsome, isn't he?

Yes, yes.

I'll make sure to treat you both well today.

Please.

Welcome,

to Paradise Club.

Send a message

to have Master San get ready.

Why

don't you introduce me to your boyfriend?

Let me formally introduce you.

Xiaofan,

this is Luo Wentao, the owner of Paradise Club.

Mr. Luo,

this is my boyfriend, Ye Bufan.

Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you too.

Mr. Ye,

where do you work?

Maiqing Medical University.

I haven't graduated yet.

Medical university.

Good, good.

By the way,

A friend of mine got a prescription from a doctor the other day,

but he forgot what it was for.

Could you take a look?

If you can't identify this prescription,

then your skills are lacking.

But if you can identify it,

then it's a matter of life and death.

It's easy to recognize.

This is a prescription for combined therapy.

Jiemingzi, Jinyunhua, and Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

The lower part mainly includes aspirin,

cephalosporin and other common medications.

But this prescription seems incomplete.

It's missing one ingredient.

You're the professional.

I'll take your word for it.

Whatever else is needed, feel free to add it.

Still missing one coffin.

Don't know if the patient prefers a flip-top

or a sliding lid.

Huoxiang Zhengqi contains alcohol.

As they say, mixing cephalosporin with alcohol

means a quick trip to heaven.

I wonder what kind of quack doctor your friend met

who would prescribe such medication.

There might be a mistake.

I'll go ask again.

I see your fundamentals are quite solid.

Perfect timing.

I need your help with something else.

Please go ahead.

Secretary Qiao,

please ask Captain Jia to come here.

Please.

This is Captain Jia from our security team.

He injured his knee during a mission.

He's been to the hospital several times,

but his leg hasn't improved.

I hope you can take a look at it, Brother Ye.

Captain Jia,

try walking a few steps.

Mr. Luo instructed that

you should pretend to limp.

No matter what treatment he gives,

you must say it hurts.

Understand?

I understand.

No, you don't understand.

If you perform poorly,

you know Mr. Luo's temper,

don't you?

As Mr. Luo instructed.

Pretend to be lame later.

No matter how he treats you

You must say it hurts.

Understand?

I understand.

No, you don't understand.

If you don't perform well

Mr. Luo's temper

You know what it's like.

This is Captain Jia from our security team.

He injured his knee during a previous assignment.

We hope you can take a look at it, Brother Ye.

Captain Jia

Try walking a few steps.

Easy to treat.

I just learned a set of massage techniques last semester.

I'll just help Captain Jia relax a bit.

Come, Captain Jia, sit here.

It hurts!

How about this?

Ouch! It hurts!

Like this?

Gentle, be gentle!

My knee is very fragile.

But I didn't even touch you just now.

Brother Ye.

Did you press too hard?

Did you hurt Captain Jia's leg?

Don't worry.

I haven't even started the massage yet.

All right.

Get up and see.

Oh no.

Now he's really lame.

This time

he's really lame.

What's wrong with you?

Why can't Captain Jia get up?

If you're not skilled enough, don't try to help.

This incident,

you'll be fully responsible for it.

What are you doing?

Try walking a few steps.

It's fine.

I'm better now.

It's healed.

I'm a martial artist.

I know your physical condition very well.

Stop pretending.

Mr. Luo, I'm cured.

I'll go patrol right away.

Mr. Luo.

Thank you for your patronage.

Maiqing Bank has deposited 10,000 yuan.

If I don't teach this kid a lesson today,

I really can't swallow this insult.

Mr. Luo.

It's been so many days.

Have you found an expert?

Hello, Mr. Zhao.

You've come at the perfect time.

This is Mr. Zhao.

He's quite the playful old man.

He enjoys practicing push hands with people.

The rules are simple.

Two people stand firmly.

One arm's length apart.

Both can push or pull.

Whoever moves their feet

loses.

Mr. Zhao is truly young at heart.

But I'll have to pass.

As a medical student,

I need my fingers for pulse diagnosis.

I dare not compete with a master like you.

If you win,

this gift box worth 2 million

will be yours.

Is this the 'Abundant Treasures'

jade gift box that Mr. Luo just released?

Priced at 2 million,

it's already being resold for 3 million on the market.

And if I lose?

Simple.

If you lose, you'll go out and hug a utility pole, kissing it passionately for ten minutes.

That's nothing compared to this gift box.

It's just for fun.

When you actually do it,

I'll have someone record it and post it online.

You'll become famous all over the internet.

Then,

let's see if you still have the nerve to appear beside Chuchu.

I understand.

Just hurt one of his fingers, that's all.

Mr. Zhao,

I haven't played this since elementary school.

You'll have to go easy on me.

Alright.

Mr. Luo, when do we start?

Ready?

Then let's begin.

Thank you, Mr. Zhao.

This...

Not really.

Thank you for your generosity, Third Master.

So,

can I share half of this gift package with you?

The gift package from Mr. Luo

doesn't hurt to share.

You!

Young man, show some martial ethics.

Young man, show some martial ethics.

Let's go again.

I'll play seriously this time.

No thanks.

This sneak attack move of mine

only works once.

Besides,

there's no point in me taking more of Mr. Luo's gifts.

One more round.

One more time.

That would cost Mr. Luo more money,

how embarrassing.

Third Master, if you want to play,

I don't mind spending a little.

How about this:

if you play one more round with Third Master,

you can choose anything in this room.

It's fine.

He won't notice that thing,

and even if he does, he can't take it out.

Mr. Luo, you're too generous.

Third Master, let's begin.

You've actually advanced to Yellow Rank Grand Perfection.

Ma Jiu,

crawl between my legs

and I'll let you go.

I, Divine Palm Zhao San,

am a notable figure in the martial world,

yet I'm being toyed with by this kid.

Today,

I will cripple him.

Mr. Luo, I'm ready.

Begin.

This is Third Master's unique skill,

Suction Palm.

I don't like playing this kind of game

because it always feels like dancing with a man.

I must say,

it looks really strange.

Who's dancing with you?

Fair enough,

I don't like dancing either.

Don't celebrate too soon.

Go kiss that utility pole like a good boy.

Kid, you've got strong hands

and a powerful waist too.

Too bad though.

You've forced Third Master to use his Thunder Palm.

Brother Ye is truly a talented young man.

Xiaofan!

Oh my,

Third Master went too far.

Why use such force?

Now we'll have to take him to the hospital.

Anything else?

If not,

it's my turn.

Suction Palm!

Mr. Luo, what do you think?

Useless.

A bet is a bet.

Choose anything in this room,

I, Luo, can afford to give it away.

This painting is nice,

but unfortunately our home is too small,

no place to hang it.

I'll take this pearl.

I want this pearl.

Wait a minute.

What?

Wasn't I free to choose anything?

Once the words are spoken

Four horses can't take them back.

Whatever you choose in this room is yours.

But it was left in my care by a friend.

5 million.

I'll buy this pearl from you.

I'm returning to my sect.

Keep this spirit pearl for me.

If the spirit pearl is damaged

You know the consequences.

10 million.

Mr. Luo.

You can't force fate.

100 million.

Brother.

Leave some leeway

For future encounters.

These competitions you arranged today, Mr. Luo

You didn't leave any leeway, did you?

However

If Mr. Luo could show more sincerity

I might consider

Returning this billion-dollar treasure to you.

Fine.

Ye Bufan.

I admit defeat.

300 million to make a friend.

Ah.

What kind of bead is that anyway?

It's a bead that can generate magnetic field interference particles.

It can even change the magnetic field of an entire neighborhood.

Why don't you keep it

and make friends with Mr. Luo?

Mr. Luo.

That's worth 300 million.

While they're still here,

we should just...

Master Zhao's martial arts skills are extraordinary.

Even he is no match for him.

With just the people we have in our club now,

we can't stop him.

When Master Xuanji comes next time,

have him take away the spirit bead quickly.

Alright.

Whatever the Master commands.

The ancient bronze vase.

I know. I'll do my best.

I'll definitely secure that one for you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the auction organized by Mr. Luo Wentao officially begins.

Treasures rare and common,

appreciation brings joy,

the hammer falls with a startling sound,

raise your paddle to show your fame.

The first item we're presenting today

is an item from the Qin family.

What's wrong?

This vase

is destined to be mine.

This vase, from a design perspective,

is simple, elegant, and dignified.

When you get close to it,

there's a subtle feeling of tranquility.

And it's said to have been passed down through generations of the Qin family.

To persuade the Qin family to part with it,

Mr. Luo put in considerable effort.

This item is extremely mysterious.

Perhaps it will bring you surprises if you take it home.

The starting bid is 100,000.

Each bid must increase by at least 10,000.

The bidding starts now.

Excuse me for the interruption,

Master Xuanji has set his sights on this item.

I'm bidding on his behalf.

I kindly ask those interested to step aside.

There's nothing special about this vase.

Why would Master Xuanji want it?

Since Master Xuanji wants it,

let's just drop it.

Whatever Master Xuanji wants

must be something valuable.

Are you crazy?

You want to compete with Master Xuanji?

Someone accidentally offended Master Xuanji before,

and within days they went bankrupt and fell seriously ill.

Is that so?

I bid 1 million.

My family would value this vase at 500,000 at most.

Can't you just let it go?

1 million once.

1 million twice.

2 million.

Look!

How dare he bid?

What are you doing?

Who organized this auction?

Don't you know?

Are you suggesting that at this auction,

if Mr. Luo wants something,

I'm not allowed to bid?

That's a fair point.

I didn't say that.

It's just about competing with Master Xuanji for items.

I hope Mr. Ye will reconsider.

Xiaofan,

maybe we should let it go.

Mr. Luo

I'm just conducting a normal auction.

If Master Xuanji has any objections,

he can come talk to me in person.

Fine.

Go ahead and bid if you dare.

Sigh.

This is so ignorant.

Deliberately offending Master Xuanji.

The bottle is yours.

What Master Xuanji really wants anyway

is the Taoyuan Neighborhood.

No one is bidding against me.

Can we close the deal now?

Sold.

Our next auction item is quite special.

You cannot see its condition or quality here.

This item is

the Shangri-La Neighborhood.

Shangri-La Neighborhood has a beautiful environment,

convenient transportation,

and the project is nearly complete.

The total investment has exceeded 500 million.

The successful bidder will gain ownership of the entire neighborhood.

Starting bid is 100 million.

Minimum increment is 10 million.

Please bid generously.

Have you heard of this place?

That neighborhood has a great location,

and the developer, Guan Dongping,

has already invested most of the money.

Selling it for just 100 million

is too cheap.

Something fishy is going on here.

Total investment of 500 million,

and now no one's bidding even 100 million.

That place is definitely not right.

They say all the children nearby got food poisoning,

and were only saved by a miracle doctor from Maiqing Hospital.

I heard construction workers are too scared to go in now.

They can't even finish the project.

Who would dare to buy it?

I've always found it strange

why that old Taoist Xuanji keeps targeting the Taoyuan Neighborhood.

Turns out he wants to create chaos there

so he can buy it at a low price.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this Shangri-La Neighborhood,

despite all these rumors,

has unlimited potential for appreciation.

Now is the perfect time to buy at the bottom.

Opportunity knocks but once,

and won't come again!

Sounds promising.

Everyone,

I am Guan Dongping.

I invested in and built the Shangri-La Neighborhood.

This neighborhood does have various issues,

I won't deny that.

I have failed in my choices

and must take responsibility.

I dare not ask for more,

I only ask for 100 million

to pay the workers' wages.

This concerns the livelihood of hundreds of workers.

I'm begging you all.

Isn't this clearly charity work?

Losing money on this purchase is one thing,

but catching bad luck would be unsolvable.

I don't have the ability to take this on.

Let's leave it to someone destined for it.

Unfortunately,

this item is about to go unsold.

Our Luo family is willing to help.

I bid 100 million

to help the workers and Mr. Guan through this difficult time.

Everyone faces difficulties sometimes.

More friends means more opportunities.

Thank you, Mr. Luo.

100 million, once.

100 million, twice.

150 million.

I, Guan, am begging everyone.

Isn't this clearly charity work?

If you buy it and it fails, that's a small matter.

But if bad luck sticks to you, there's no solution.

I don't have the ability to take this on.

Let's leave it to someone destined for it.

I regret to say

this auction item will soon go unsold.

Our Luo family is willing to help.

I bid 100 million.

To help the workers and Mr. Guan through this difficult time.

Everyone faces difficulties sometimes.

More friends means more options.

Thank you, Mr. Luo.

Business isn't just about transactions.

There's still genuine compassion in this world.

Mr. Luo truly has a kind heart.

Young Master Luo is such a good person!

Making such a generous offer right away.

So righteous!

No wonder his business is bigger than ours.

His level is simply different.

This guy does have some admirable qualities.

Don't be so quick to praise him.

Do you remember

what you told me when we came here?

That the Luo family built their fortune with Master Xuanji's help.

I have a theory.

Master Xuanji has had his eye on Guan Dongping's land for a long time.

That's why he's been causing trouble in that neighborhood,

spreading rumors and making people anxious.

When the project was nearly complete,

he set up various arrangements there

causing frequent accidents.

I know you don't like Master Xuanji,

but without evidence,

there's no need to slander him like this.

Evidence?

I personally visited Shangri-La Residence before.

The situation there was identical to what I encountered when I exposed the Shendan Blood Thinner case.

And that overweight pharmacy owner

after revealing that Master Xuanji was behind it all,

was silenced permanently.

No way.

Believe it or not.

100 million, going once.

100 million, going twice.

150 million.

This person keeps opposing Luo Wentao.

What grudge is there between them?

Using 100 million just to spite someone.

What's wrong with this guy?

Is he deliberately trying to sabotage things?

Mr. Ye,

I'm giving you a chance

to withdraw your bid.

If you can't handle this,

our Luo family won't be so kind

to bail you out again.

Money can't buy what I truly love.

The name of this neighborhood really resonates with me.

I can't bear to withdraw my offer.

What can I do?

Mr. Ye,

although we just met today,

our Luo family has Master Xuanji's assistance

who can improve the quality of this neighborhood.

What do you have?

I have funds sponsored by President Luo.

Just got the sponsorship today.

It's still warm.

You...

Alright,

no more jokes.

I believe the Shangri-La Neighborhood

doesn't need Master Xuanji's help

to complete its final development.

Since Mr. Guan is so considerate of others,

I'm willing to add another 50 million.

If you've got what it takes, keep raising the price.

Still too young.

If you want it, just buy it directly.

Why offend the Luo family here?

Since Mr. Ye is determined to be charitable,

I can only help him fulfill his wish.

Thank you, President Luo, for your generosity.

150 million, first call.

150 million, second call.

150 million, third call.

Sold!

This Shangri-La Neighborhood

truly is my lucky place.

The neighborhood auction should be over now.

As long as I utilize this place well,

I can dominate in Maiqing.

Useless!

I helped you rise up

not to cause me trouble.

Couldn't get the Demon Refining Vase,

and now this Shangri-La Neighborhood -

you actually let someone else take it too.

Yes, Master.

I'm sorry,

I did my best,

but that Ye fellow

is really difficult to deal with.

Forget it.

I must have this neighborhood.

You couldn't get it at auction,

I'll find other ways to obtain it.

I'll come to your place later.

Good,

I look forward to your visit, Master.

If Master Xuanji

couldn't even predict my repeated failures,

perhaps

I should make other plans.

What are you doing?

This is a 150 million contract.

Why are you trying to be my housekeeper now?

Dream on.

All these things you bought

are they actually useful?

Look,

they're coming in handy now, aren't they?

I can't afford to blow 150 million for nothing.

Mr. Ye.

Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood.

Oh my!

Mr. Luo.

Thank you for your generosity just now, Mr. Luo.

Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood.

When you want to sell your land,

our Luo family won't even take 10 million for it.

Let's not even talk about 10 million,

whether you'll be able to buy a house on my land.

I'm worried your Luo family

might not even last until I decide to sell my land.

All talk,

but you'll never achieve anything significant.

Here it comes.

This is what I came for.

I can feel everyone's enthusiasm.

But please remain calm.

Stay in your seats.

The next auction item comes from Master Xuanji.

The Fortune Bead is a treasure personally crafted by Master Xuanji.

Even if used merely as a decoration,

it can make you radiant

and bring good fortune.

Master Xuanji's abilities are beyond question.

Our Mr. Luo

achieved his current success

with Master Xuanji's help.

So what miraculous effects does this Fortune Bead have?

That's right.

It can enhance your martial abilities,

allowing ordinary people to feel and use mystical energy,

and enabling them to expel toxins

through the flow of mystical energy.

It slows aging

and extends life.

If it can help enter the martial path,

then it's worth any price.

Money doesn't matter.

This bead can extend life

and preserve youth.

I must have it.

Nothing else matters.

They said it brings good fortune.

Maybe I can get rich like Mr. Luo.

The starting bid for the Fortune Bead is 10 million.

Each bid must increase by at least 1 million.

Bidding starts now.

20 million.

25 million.

30 million.

50 million.

I bid 60 million.

I...

I bid 70 million.

70 million.

Any higher bids?

70 million.

70 million!

Chuchu.

Stop bidding on this item.

It's not even worth 800 yuan.

What did you say?

Delicate.

Don't bid on this thing anymore.

It's not even worth 800 yuan.

What did you say?

Why are you stopping me?

Dad instructed me

to bring these beads back no matter what.

Is your judgment

better than my father's?

If this thing is really that good,

why doesn't President Luo bid on it

or transfer it to his family and friends?

Hahaha!

An ordinary person like you

could never understand Master Xuanji's intention to save the world.

Fortune cannot be monopolized,

or it will surely reverse.

Master Xuanji has warned us repeatedly.

My Luo family is certainly willing to help others succeed.

Then why did the Tang family,

after receiving Master Xuanji's guidance, suddenly fall seriously ill?

Mr. Ye

Stop talking nonsense here.

What happened to the Tang family?

How would you know the reasons behind it?

Perhaps old Mr. Tang survived because of Master Xuanji's guidance,

instead of dying from his illness.

Enough.

If you want to argue,

do it later.

Don't disrupt the auction.

Xiaofan.

Stop arguing.

You don't need to persuade me.

Since my father gave me orders,

it's my duty

to bring this bead back for him.

I bid 90 million.

It's over. We have no chance now.

Why don't you bid higher?

Do you know who that is?

That's the CEO of Qin Corporation.

Competing with her,

how many rich fathers do I have?

I bid 100 million.

What?

With the Fortune Heavenly Bead

and another investment,

I can make a comeback.

Boss Guan,

what about the salaries you owe your employees?

They'll have to wait a bit longer.

I'll pay them back after my next business deal.

Chuchu, won't you bid higher?

If I bid more,

I'm afraid I'll need to call back for approval.

Can you spare some money?

100 million.

No,

50 million would be enough.

Look at Boss Guan's expression.

Even if he borrows another 50 million

to make it 200 million,

he'll still do everything to get that bead.

Then lend me 100 million.

My money

I could even give it to you as a gift,

but I won't lend you money to buy junk.

Ye Bufan,

stop making outrageous claims

disrupting the auction.

You say Master Xuanji's treasure is fake.

Is my success fake too?

Even if I can tolerate you for the sake of auction order,

can everyone else?

Nonsense!

I heard everything.

He just doesn't want to lend that girl money.

He's just saving face.

Thank you for your generosity earlier, Mr. Ye.

Since you don't believe in Master Xuanji,

would you mind letting me have this bead?

Ye Bufan,

everyone can see clearly.

I advise you, the fool who overpaid for that unlucky property,

to keep your mouth shut

and stop embarrassing yourself.

Ahem.

Let's continue with the auction.

100 million, first call.

Xiaofan,

will you lend me the money or not?

If not, I'll ask President Luo.

You think that string of beads is a treasure

just because it glows and floats continuously?

Let me demonstrate something.

With some martial arts training,

this is actually very easy to achieve.

If I tell you

this is a detoxifying beauty phone

would you still believe it?

Aren't you just performing a magic trick?

You could say that.

This glowing effect

doesn't really do much.

Look,

your phone isn't glowing anymore.

Yours is different from the master's.

The master's bead glows forever.

How long have you even known this bead?

And you're already talking about forever.

How childish.

100 million for the second time.

What's going on?

What's happening?

Why has the bead changed like this?

Why has the Fortune Bead lost its luster?

This young man was right after all.

It's just an ordinary bead.

How could this happen?

It's fake.

This bead

merely has a bit of mystical energy attached to it

that makes it glow and float, nothing more.

All that talk about martial arts mastery and longevity

is complete nonsense.

I misunderstood you earlier.

I'm sorry.

Master Xuanji's power

cannot be slandered by you.

My family's success is a fact.

Everyone here has witnessed it.

Then this afternoon,

the money Mr. Luo gave me

was also thanks to Master Xuanji's help?

In that case,

I should thank him

for instructing you to take care of me.

You!

Sir,

my secretary just saw

you making some subtle movements

that caused the bead to lose its glow.

If at this distance,

I can make small gestures

that cause the Fortune Bead to lose its luster,

doesn't that indicate this bead

won't bring lasting good fortune

and isn't worth spending a fortune on?

It doesn't count.

I withdraw my bid.

Mr. Guan, Mr. Guan.

An auction is not a place for jokes.

It's inappropriate to withdraw after bidding.

Think carefully.

Even if you're not afraid of offending our family,

aren't you afraid of offending Master Xuanji?

So it's about offending the Luo family?

The auction catalog clearly states the Fortune Bead's effects.

Now the Fortune Bead has completely lost its power.

This is false advertising.

If we're talking about offense,

it's your Luo family who offended Mr. Guan first.

Fine.

Mr. Guan withdraws his bid.

Then the highest bidder

should be Miss Qin.

I withdraw my bid as well.

Is there anyone else who wants to bid?

What a pity.

All of you, because of this youngster's nonsense,

have given up a precious, priceless treasure.

I can only express my regret.

Unfortunately,

the Fortune Bead remains unsold.

You've really offended Mr. Luo this time.

Are you still going to

the raw stone exhibition later?

We have an old saying

'since we're already here.'

Well then,

I'll be counting on you to help me pick the good ones.

Boss,

should we add those two to the blacklist?

It's easy to kick them out,

but doing so

would significantly impact

the Luo family's reputation.

Don't worry. The Luo family can afford the loss.

Besides, he has touched Master Xuanji's sore spot.

We just need to sit back and watch the show.

What's happening?

The negative energy suddenly decreased.

Damn it!

Damn!

The magnetic field I set up has failed.

What did that brat do to my area?

It seems my methods were too gentle.

You little brat,

today I'll tear you to pieces!

Young Brother Ye.

I really appreciate your help.

If it weren't for you,

I would have

been scammed again.

Mr. Guan,

I actually believed you when you said it was for the workers' benefit.

But then you immediately took 100 million for gambling.

Your principles sure are worthless.

No, that's not it.

We invested over 500 million in that neighborhood.

If I only recover 150 million,

I can't explain that to my family.

I thought if I had the Fortune Celestial Pearl,

I could at least properly finish the Shangri-La Neighborhood.

This property has already been sold.

Why are you still worrying about it?

One should finish what they started.

This Shangri-La Neighborhood,

the location was chosen ten years ago

by my father.

If it's not completed,

I won't be able to rest.

I thought if I had the Fortune Celestial Pearl,

perhaps

I could participate in the final completion work.

It sounds like without this pearl,

construction can't proceed.

Workers who go there have accidents.

People nearby have gotten food poisoning.

Now no one dares to take the job.

Unless I get the Fortune Celestial Pearl made by Master Xuanji,

only then will people be willing to work with me.

I'd like to be a contractor.

Others are always willing to hire me,

unfortunately.

I happen to be just a doctor.

I know nothing about construction.

I'd like to ask for your help with the construction.

I'm willing to give you 20 percent of the shares.

What do you think?

Now that there's no Fortune Celestial Pearl,

what if more workers have accidents at that site?

Don't worry.

Just bring in workers to start construction.

As for everything else,

I'll handle it.

Young brother,

if that's really the case,

you would be my greatest benefactor.

Alright.

Let's cut the nonsense.

If you really want to thank me,

then make Peach Blossom Paradise into a first-class neighborhood.

Absolutely.

It seems to be starting over there.

Take care.

Is this stone for sale?

Mr. Ye is interested in this stone.

I'm sorry,

these stones are reserved by the Luo family.

We only sell them to friends of our family.

Unfortunately,

you're not one of them.

Chuchu,

have you seen this stone?

This is the highest-priced item at this exhibition.

Although 30 million is a bit steep,

it's definitely worth every penny.

Look,

judging from the opened window,

the texture is at least glass-quality jade.

I saved it especially for you.

Don't buy it.

You'll regret it terribly.

So you know about jade gambling?

This is my first time.

Hey, Ye,

you don't understand jade gambling.

Can you at least read?

Do you know what 'highest-priced item' means?

Before today,

I didn't know a piece of junk could be worth 300 million.

Xiaofan,

this stone has an opened window.

It was just luck.

You're getting all worked up.

My family's years of experience

is no match for a greenhorn like you?

You think you're so good?

Dare to compete with me?

What's happening?

The guy who just bought the Taoyuan property

is arguing with Mr. Luo again.

Interesting.

Those two are really going at it.

I've made too much money from Mr. Luo today.

If Mr. Luo wants to play,

I'll certainly oblige him.

If I win,

you'll transfer the Peach Blossom Paradise contract to me,

and I want that small vase you just bought.

And if you lose?

I'll give you 100 million.

That's not fair.

The contract alone is worth more than that.

If you lose,

besides the 100 million,

throw in this raw stone as well.

Agreed.

By the way, Mr. Luo,

how do you judge the quality of cut stones?

This is my first time,

I don't really understand.

Could you teach me?

You can't even tell good from bad,

yet you dare to gamble on jade?

Mr. Luo,

since we're playing for such high stakes,

and jade valuation can be quite subjective,

we should clarify the rules first.

Alright.

For Chuchu's sake,

I'll explain clearly.

The rarer the jade color,

the more valuable the jade.

Jade colors typically rank as red first, yellow second, mutton-fat third,

ink fourth, blue-green fifth, and cyan sixth.

But above this ranking,

there's also violet jade,

Lantian jade and peacock jade.

These three are considered even rarer specimens,

all in the same tier.

With the same color, compare size.

With the same size, compare pattern clarity.

With the same pattern, compare transparency.

Though it differs from conventional appraisal methods,

it provides clearer criteria for gambling on raw stones.

I forgot Chuchu is also an expert.

No, I must take precautions.

The grading system is fine,

but to eliminate the luck factor,

let's do best of five rounds.

Whatever works.

You go first.

Let me see.

For the first round, I choose this one.

Your turn.

Let me feel this stone too.

Is that okay?

Go ahead.

That's enough.

No matter how long you feel it, it won't help.

Let's begin.

I choose that one.

Is this person crazy?

If you're going to choose,

you should pick from the batch Mr. Luo selected for friends and family.

You think you'll find something good in these loose stones?

If you want this piece,

I might as well give it to you.

No, I'll buy it.

So if something good comes out,

you won't get jealous and back out.

Let me see.

Priced at 2,000.

We'll keep track of that.

Are we doing this or not?

It's best of five, remember?

Why are you so nervous?

Come on.

Let's start cutting.

The feel isn't right.

What's this?

My turn.

Cut from the side.

Don't cut through the middle.

That's called a polish cut.

This stone isn't even worth a polish cut.

It's coming out!

Don't panic.

I'll slowly reveal the entire stone.

There's green showing!

There really is jadeite!

And it's ice jade too.

With this size,

it's worth at least several million.

This is

imperial green ice jadeite.

Though the color is ordinary,

given its size,

I'll offer 10 million for it.

If you want it, it's yours.

Let's finish our game with Mr. Luo first.

Mr. Luo,

the first round is decided.

Let's move to the second round.

The second piece.

I'll cut this one.

This is imperial green ice jadeite.

Although the color is ordinary,

but this size.

I'll pay 10 million for it.

I'd like to give it to you.

Let me finish with Mr. Luo first.

Mr. Luo,

the first round has no suspense.

Let's move to the second round.

The second piece,

I'll cut this one.

Isn't this the premium stone?

Yes, it is.

This bet is too big.

It's not fair to choose first.

Choosing the premium stone means certain victory, doesn't it?

Mr. Luo,

are you sure?

Isn't this a gift for Chuchu?

You want to use it for the competition?

I'll cut it open and then give it to Chuchu.

It's the same either way.

Stay away from the stone I've chosen.

Mr. Luo is really cautious.

Too bad I've chosen this one.

Mr. Luo, would you like to see mine?

It's a bit smaller in size.

Even if it reveals something of equal quality,

it can't compare to mine.

Look at the quality of this jade,

it's on par with what he just revealed.

This size

is even slightly larger than what he chose earlier.

It could probably sell for 20-30 million.

This

looks like something valuable.

But if the premium stone only yields this much,

the profit isn't much.

If Mr. Ye doesn't reveal something good,

then he's lost.

This is red.

First red, second yellow, third mutton-fat,

fourth ink, fifth azure, sixth blue flower.

Could this be premium red jade?

You can only see a few in the news.

It's my first time seeing red jade revealed in person.

This piece, this piece.

I want it. My whole family wants it.

Didn't your family want that lucky Tianzhou bead?

I'll make some for you later.

According to the formula,

his jade is more valuable than yours.

Mr. Luo,

you've lost again.

It's not over yet.

Ye Bufan,

don't think you've already won.

You choose.

I choose this one.

What are you doing?

That's Xiaofan's chosen bet.

So what if it's his chosen bet?

Whatever comes out of it will be his.

Happy now?

Do you need your opponent to choose your stone for you?

Did I break any rules?

If you don't dare to play,

you can admit defeat.

Don't worry,

he won't win.

I actually gave you many chances to beat me,

but you didn't appreciate them.

I choose this piece.

Once chosen, no changes.

Stop talking nonsense.

You go first this time.

There's nothing in it.

That makes sense.

How could every stone contain priceless jade?

Wait.

Wait for what?

Stop stalling.

Please polish it properly.

This is...

I've never seen this color before.

Don't get excited.

Let the craftsman polish it properly.

This is lavender jade.

I've never seen this in all my years in the business.

Wait.

This is...

If we put these three pieces together,

this lavender jade

alone would sell for 30 million.

But

these three colors together symbolize fortune, prosperity, and longevity.

Plus, they were found

in the same location three times in a row.

The luck and story behind them

means these three stones' value

will at least double.

This guy has incredible luck.

What he earned in just these few minutes

would take me several lifetimes to earn.

Mr. Luo, it's your turn.

What luck and storytelling value?

None of that counts.

As long as I can find jade of equal quality but larger size,

I win.

Xiao Qiao,

bring that stone over for cutting.

What kind of stone is this?

Obviously,

this stone is not jade.

Even if it's some rare metal,

it has nothing to do with today's jade gambling.

Mr. Luo,

accept your loss.

Master Xuanji is here.

It really is him.

Daring to steal from Master Xuanji -

your good days are over.

Xiaofan

Are you okay?

Your attitude toward Master Xuanji earlier

wasn't very respectful.

This guy ignored Mr. Luo's advice

and outbid Master Xuanji for that bottle.

If I were him, I'd give up the bottle

and try to get on Master Xuanji's good side.

Look at your judgment.

With how this young man performed today,

Master Xuanji should be the one trying to get on his good side.

We meet again.

I truly underestimated you.

Ye Bufan,

I suggest you kneel down and beg for mercy

before you regret it at death's door.

What's going on?

Something's not right.

Better to be cautious

before making any moves.

What

is really going on here?

I just drove away Master Xuanji.

What exactly happened?

It might be hard to believe coming from me,

so let Mr. Luo explain.

Mr. Luo made his fortune through Master Xuanji.

You should tell us

about Master Xuanji's deeds.

Thank you, Mr. Ye, for saving my life.

What you all don't know is...

This Master Xuanji is ruthless.

Our Luo family was coerced by him

to work for him.

What kind of things did you do for him?

This Master Xuanji knows some martial arts

and forced our family

to sell fake items as genuine artifacts,

like the Lucky Heavenly Pearl.

What's worse,

he used all kinds of tactics against Shangri-La Residence

so he could buy it cheaply from Guan Dongping

and take over the property.

What?

What did you do for him?

This Master Xuanji knows some martial arts.

And forced our Luo family.

To help sell fake items as genuine ones.

Like the Fortune Beads.

What's worse.

He used all kinds of methods against Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood.

So he could buy it cheaply from Guan Dongping.

And take over that neighborhood.

What?

Those accidents at Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood.

Were all caused by this guy.

That's so despicable.

They invested over a billion.

If it weren't for that young man.

The plot would have succeeded.

Your Luo family is so shameless.

What you all don't know.

Our Luo family had no choice.

Thanks to Young Master Ye's help.

Our Luo family could finally break free from Master Xuanji's control.

What about our losses?

I spent millions on his incense burner.

Refund! Refund!

Everyone.

Please calm down.

Our Luo family is also a victim.

To thank you all for trusting our Luo family.

All the raw stones here today.

Will be sold at 40% off.

As our way of giving back.

Hurry!

40% off? That's practically free!

Boss, I'll take these three.

How dare you jump the line.

Put that one down.

I saw it first.

Check out! Check out!

Move aside.

Winning people's hearts in such a short time.

Mr. Luo is truly impressive.

I'll believe what you said for now.

But about our bet.

You're not trying to back out, are you?

I'm sorry.

We don't have enough cash here.

Would you accept raw stones of equal value instead?

Then I'd better hurry.

Or all the good stuff will be gone.

Those raw stones and jade

can be stored in your Qin family warehouse for now.

I'll deal with them when I have time.

What? Are you going to charge me for storage?

Thanks to you today.

Being scammed by that old Taoist would be the least of our problems.

Not getting those raw stones

would be more troublesome for the Qin family.

Not to mention you gave us that Fu Lu Shou stone.

Just verbal thanks?

No offering yourself to me?

Dream on.

At most, I'll let you borrow this car.

This thing may not be jade,

but it's far more precious.

Earth Flame Core.

A pure yang-attribute crystal.

Perfect for dealing with Xuanji's negative magnetic field.

Just right.

Just a bit of mystical energy made it explode.

Nearly burned down the entire restaurant.

I never expected that absorbed jade

could produce such high-quality mystical pills.

Still not enough.

That old Taoist is full of tricks.

We'll need another plan for tomorrow.

That guy is quite clever.

Even when I feigned weakness,

he didn't rashly pursue me.

What a pity.

But I've strengthened the magnetic field tonight.

Even if he comes during the day tomorrow,

he won't stand a chance.

This is enough.

Tomorrow's battle

will settle all our scores

once and for all.

Mr. Ye,

Miss He is here.

She says she's here to train with you.

Let her in if she calls me Uncle.

Hey!

Listen, Ye Bufan,

don't get cocky.

I had someone announce me as a courtesy.

Officer,

breaking into a private residence is illegal.

Something's wrong.

You have

blockage in your heart meridian.

What?

Wait. Stand still.

Because you're frequently exposed to negative energy,

harmful energy has invaded your heart meridian.

Oh no! What should I do?

What are you doing?

Turn around.

If you want treatment, follow instructions.

Today we'll start with your back.

Oh.

Seriously.

So many people beg me for massages and I refuse.

I...

I didn't know my condition was so serious.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Tell you earlier?

Miss He,

when you had health issues before,

I gave you a prescription

that you threw away as soon as you left.

That's what allowed the harmful energy to invade your body

and cause blockages. Is that my fault?

I'm sorry.

Please write me another prescription.

I promise I'll take it.

Turn around.

I'll clear the negative energy from your body right now.

Okay.

Let's take it step by step.

First, we need to clear the remaining negative energy in your body.

To prevent your meridians from being corrupted.

The process might be a bit uncomfortable.

Bear with it.

Your fighting skills are decent.

But to deal with concentrated negative energy entities,

that's difficult.

This is my first time.

I think I've learned enough.

But those things

won't go easy on you just because you're a beginner.

They won't show any mercy.

You're angry again.

I'm angry at myself.

If I hadn't lost the formula you gave me,

I would be using mystical energy more freely now.

There's plenty of time ahead.

Keep working at it.

Hello, Director Guan.

Hello?

I'm at Waiwaitaoyuan Neighborhood.

The situation here is not good.

Hello? Director Guan?

What's happening over there?

Hello?

Are you okay?

Hello?

Your mission is complete.

Now

it's time to lure you into my trap.

I'm going to Weiwaotaoyuan Neighborhood.

I'll help you.

Don't make trouble.

I'm going to deal with Master Xuanji.

I can't be distracted protecting you.

If I can't stop him,

the evil energy will spread,

causing countless diseases in Maiqing.

But Maiqing doesn't belong to you alone.

Indeed.

Society needs you to uphold justice.

And regarding Maiqing's health matters,

I'll be the guardian.

But I learned all this

just so I could help you.

Xuanyin Spirit-Absorbing Formation.

This old Taoist has grand ideas,

thinking he can trap me with this.

Let me break this first.

Blazing fire!

Burning night into daylight,

formation open!

This isn't our first encounter.

Why bother hiding?

I've already shown you respect,

yet you still stubbornly followed me here.

If I don't deal with you,

Maiqing will only become more chaotic.

To be honest,

I feel the same way about you.

You cured those children who should have been my spiritual materials.

You consecutively took the He and Tang families

away from me,

ruined my medicine business,

and targeted the Luo family I support.

I've long wanted to get rid of you once and for all.

Then let's settle this once and for all.

Able to control four at once now.

You're really going all out.

This old Taoist is forcing me to keep moving.

The method of making blood skeletons fight each other last time

won't work anymore.

Didn't I tell you not to come?

Haven't I been helpful?

Put me down.

Then let go of me.

My foot's gone numb.

Damn it.

You actually have the Five Thunder Talisman,

seems I underestimated you.

This works too.

He's tempering his body with evil energy

to enhance his power.

So this is the legendary Nine Evil Body.

You actually know the name of this form.

Indeed,

I cannot let you live in this world.

What is this?

Where did you get this thing?

The Earth Flame Core bought from the Luo family.

What a pity.

If this old Taoist knew how to gamble on stones,

such a treasure wouldn't have ended up in my hands.

It doesn't matter if he can't gamble on stones.

As long as I kill you,

all your treasures will be mine.

Old Taoist,

we both know what's happening.

Forcibly channeling evil energy into your dantian

will lead to loss of consciousness at best,

or your body exploding at worst.

Why put yourself through this?

I spent ten years

building everything in Maiqing,

and you destroyed it all so easily.

This despair,

I'll make you experience it deeply today.

It's too late for you now.

Even if you win,

you'll be nothing but a walking corpse.

Fighting like this

is meaningless.

As long as you're gone,

my fellow disciples can act

much more freely.

These?

What are they for?

Didn't you want to help?

Now I need your help.

I don't know how.

You must learn.

I taught you how to use mystical energy.

To use talismans,

concentrate your energy in your hands

then throw it at them.

I'll cover you.

And you must use the talismans

to approach and destroy the formation core.

If I go,

you'll have no protection.

If we both want to survive,

you're the only one who can go.

I've taught you how to use mystical energy.

To use talismans.

Just concentrate the energy in your hands.

Then aim and throw it at them.

I'll cover you.

And you must use the talismans.

To approach and destroy the formation's eye.

If I go.

You'll have no protection.

If we want to survive together.

Only you can go.

Mystical command.

Cut down evil and destroy spirits.

Attack now!

It's just 3 meters ahead of you.

Use the Five Thunder Talisman.

I can't.

Cause him more trouble.

Once the formation's eye is broken.

Everything will be settled.

How could I let you have your way?

Xiaofan.

You've ruined my formation.

But you don't know.

This treasure in the formation's eye.

Has absorbed the evil energy released after breaking the formation.

Its power will be even stronger.

Today you will certainly die.

That is...

You're actually absorbing the life essence of beings here.

You just realized.

This is my domain.

I've naturally made arrangements.

Let me show you my true power.

Dealing with you was originally difficult.

If you had honestly competed with me in using techniques.

Sooner or later I would have been worn down by you.

Who would have thought you'd give up being human.

No! No!

No! No!

This is the Demon Refining Bottle.

From the moment you became a Nine Evil Entity.

You became its prey.

Thanks to your boss Luo being stingy with money.

I must thank him properly when I get the chance.

Capture!

Strike!

That was close.

You saved my life again.

It's all right now.

Thank you.

You've been a great help.

What about that old Taoist?

He used forbidden techniques to transform into blood mist and escaped.

I couldn't catch him.

What should we do now?

I'll go back to the bureau and issue a warrant.

No need.

After using forbidden techniques, all his powers will disappear.

It'll be difficult for him to cause trouble again.

The most important thing now is

to help those affected by the Taoist's negative energy recover.

So you still know to come back.

Master Xuanji.

You've used the Nine Evils Body Reconstruction Technique.

Seems you lost badly this time.

You didn't fare well against that guy either.

Indeed.

So I think my income has decreased.

I need to find ways to cut expenses.

No, Wentao.

I trained you myself.

Do you remember?

Helping me sell talismans.

That's how you made your first fortune.

Yes.

Those were wonderful times.

Too bad.

People grow up.

Burning bridges.

The skill of discarding tools when they're no longer useful.

I learned it all from you.

No, no.

Even though my powers are gone now,

I can still offer you advice.

I can go elsewhere.

No, no.

Go abroad.

I promise not to cause you any trouble.

I'm sorry.

You know too much.

Your existence is my problem.

You dare touch me?

I have my sect behind me.

Harm me, and my fellow disciples won't spare you.

Let me go!

No.

No!

I'm your ally on the same side!

If your fellow disciples want revenge,

I can introduce them to

Mr. Ye's great achievements.

Let them fight each other.

Help!

Hey, are you there?

Come clean up quickly.

Thank you.

The taste of growth.

It's really nice.

Is everything cleared now?

The main formations have been broken.

But we still need to make some arrangements later

to restore this neighborhood.

Shuangshuang.

The main formations have been broken.

But I still need to make some arrangements

to restore this neighborhood.

Hmm.

Shuangshuang.

Fortunately, it was just nerves being too tense

plus using mystical energy for the first time.

You were a bit overexerted,

which allowed negative energy to enter your body,

causing you to faint.

What are you trying to do?

Seems my technique was too effective.

What... what happened to me?

You already had symptoms in your chest,

and negative energy took advantage of your weakness.

I just treated you with ancient medical techniques,

but as soon as you woke up, you repaid kindness with hostility,

trying to get physical with me.

You're asking for trouble!

Stop hitting me!

If you kill me, no one will treat you.

Don't get excited.

Your meridians are still blocked.

Please, Dr. Ye, help clear my meridians.

Hurry up.

What do you mean?

Well, it's like this.

There are actually two ways to clear your meridians.

When you were unconscious,

massage was an option for clearing them.

But now that you're awake,

your body can generate its own mystical energy circulation,

and can be completely cured with medicine.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Of course,

massage therapy is still an option in this situation.

Who asked for your massage?

Fine.

I saved your life out of kindness,

helped treat you when you were afflicted,

and not even a thank you,

but instead you give me attitude.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Alright, alright.

I'll compensate you later.

With the He family behind me, you won't lose out.

Listen,

can any of you tell me

what happened here?

Mr. Guan.

Well, that's

quite a long story.

What exactly did you do?

This neighborhood feels completely renewed.

This place was originally a feng shui treasure spot,

but it was damaged by Xuanji for a long time,

causing negative energy and frequent accidents.

I just expelled the negative energy

and restored the neighborhood to its original state,

which is why it feels renewed.

Good.

It's great that the neighborhood is back to normal.

Now we can proceed with construction smoothly.

We'll need your help in the future,

to develop my neighborhood, Mr. Guan.

This is your neighborhood?

It's a long story.

Mainly because Mr. Luo was so insistent

on giving me 300 million.

Anyway,

when we're done here,

I'll teach you techniques to clear out the negative energy.

Hmm.

This technique is called the White Jade Maiden Method.

Use your mind to follow my energy flow.

This energy is running wild.

Follow my guidance

and learn to control them.

Easy for you to say.

That's basically the idea.

Right now you only know how to release it,

but to expand your meridians,

you'll need to practice consistently.

Thank you.

Just a 'thank you' and you think we're done?

Let me tell you,

this technique I taught you is priceless to outsiders.

Thank you, Uncle.

Who taught you these evasive tactics?

All of you are really

something else.

Tell me the truth.

Don't get excited.

You're still sick.

Please stay calm.

It's getting late.

I have things to do.

Practice what you learned today.

Well,

I need to send someone to make arrangements.

It's time to prepare for the engagement banquet.

Yes.

I'll definitely arrange everything for you.

Don't worry.

We'll try our best to meet all your requirements.

Good.

Luxury private room this Sunday.

No problem.

See you then.

Boss, is the food ready?

Coming!

Thank you, Miss He, for being merciful

letting me treat you to just a street restaurant.

I only lost 200-300 yuan today.

Stop joking around. But thanks for today anyway.

Officially,

you solved the safety issues at Shangri-La Neighborhood

and protected everyone.

Personally, I finally mastered the technique today

and entered the Yellow Rank,

becoming a martial artist.

I owe it all to you.

I just didn't expect

that a young lady like you would choose to eat at a street stall.

What's wrong with street food?

I want to protect Maiqing.

Isn't it for these simple joys of life?

By the way, there's something I need to clarify.

I'm already your great-uncle,

and now I've taught you martial arts techniques,

so you should call me Master from now on.

Hmph.

You're getting carried away.

You still haven't explained those other matters clearly.

Come on,

you must explain everything tonight.

What's our relationship anyway?

Explain yourself!

I come here to treat your illness,

teach you martial arts,

and even pay for your meals.

Not to mention we already have a grandfather-grandchild relationship,

but even if we unfortunately developed some kind of spark,

how would we sort out the generations?

Dating you would cost me two generations of status.

If you can't speak properly, just say less.

What are you, raising fish?

Can you drink or not?

If not, go sit at the kids' table.

I'll drink. I'm not afraid of you.

How on earth did the He family raise their daughter?

She drinks like there's no tomorrow.

Good thing I can use my energy to neutralize alcohol,

giving me the upper hand.

Mom, I'm up.

Look at you, you're not getting any younger.

The Wang family's kid already has two children,

what about you?

I'm still young.

Career first.

Of the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the worst.

No matter what you say, you're going on a blind date today.

I've already arranged everything.

Mom, I already have someone.

Just wait a second.

Sorry.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Please try again later.

When I need your urgent help,

you're nowhere to be found.

Mom, I have a girlfriend.

Please wait.

Sorry,

the number you've dialed cannot be reached.

Please try again later.

When I need your urgent help,

you're nowhere to be found.

Mom,

I just dialed the wrong number.

Don't worry.

Hello, Shuangshuang.

I'm on a mission.

We'll settle this when I'm back.

Well, um...

Stop pretending. I know everything.

Just go on that blind date.

Mom, trust me.

I'll bring my girlfriend to meet you tomorrow.

Until you find a wife,

I'll keep worrying about you.

I've been selling buns for over twenty years.

Fine, fine, stop.

I'll go, okay?

Really?

Really

truer than true gold.

Then go to Maiqing Hotel, private room number one.

I've already arranged everything.

That girl is nice.

She seems to be a good match for you.

Don't miss this opportunity.

Mom, how long have you been planning this?

I set it up for 9 o'clock.

Don't you dare be late.

There's only twenty minutes left!

Chuchu, I need your help urgently.

Come quickly and pretend to be my girlfriend.

I'll send you my location.

That's right.

Coming to a place like this for my first blind date.

Seems like Mom is really going all out.

Ye Bufan, what are you doing here?

Sun Xiaotong.

Are you the one I'm meeting for the blind date?

I think

this match isn't quite right.

Let's just forget it.

Hmph.

This blind date

took your mom a lot of begging to arrange.

Are you sure you want to break her heart?

Have you forgotten how you treated me before?

You bet someone you could win me over in two weeks.

Don't even mention it.

You made me lose 200 yuan.

I could have just given you 200.

But instead, you reported me to the administration for harassment.

Teachers called me in for talks.

Police came to investigate.

I couldn't focus on my studies for months.

Was I wrong?

I was just messing with you.

I don't do those harmful things anymore.

Well, you're already here.

Fine.

Since my mom went through trouble booking this place,

we might as well go through the motions.

Everyone can come in now.

Everyone.

This private room is nice.

It's nowhere near as good as the one we saw at Sylvan.

Come on,

don't set such high standards for a first meeting.

Come, everyone, have a seat.

This is...

Well,

as an innocent young woman,

I brought my relatives to help judge this blind date.

You don't mind, do you?

My family's been pushing me.

They insisted on coming.

Don't rush off.

We can both report back successfully.

I heard you graduated from medical school.

Where do you work?

Not yet. Still looking.

Better hurry up.

If you don't have a proper job,

then this match today,

I have serious doubts about it.

Oh,

don't be too hard on him.

Jobs are hard to find these days.

I haven't had this Eight Immortals seafood platter in ages.

Let's order one.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, one for each person, any objections?

Boston lobster.

I'm afraid we can't finish one per person.

Let's order six for our eight people.

Save some money.

We've barely started,

and you're already ordering food?

What was his name again?

Ye Bufan.

Little Fan,

I heard you lost your father when you were young.

Your social skills

must be somewhat lacking.

You'll need people's help for many things in life.

Yes, Bufan,

whether you end up with our Tongtong or not today,

our Sun family is willing to give you a hand.

Uh,

how do you plan to help?

Let's also have the seafood in special sauce.

Twenty dishes should be enough.

You,

those twenty dishes we just ordered,

give the order to the waiter outside.

Tongtong grew up under our watch.

If you want to marry her, you need something to offer, right?

No, I don't even have-

Let me finish what I'm saying.

Young man, my presence here today makes me your benefactor.

Just for this meal alone,

I should give you a hand.

I'll introduce you later

to be an apprentice at our factory. That shouldn't be a problem.

Apprentice?

Xiaofan, your first job can't aim too high.

A sword is sharpened on the grindstone.

Right.

Although the apprentice salary isn't much at first,

as long as you work hard, Xiaofan,

earning 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per month isn't impossible.

I'm sorry.

I came here for a blind date today,

not looking for a job.

Please continue eating.

I'll step out for a moment.

Ye Bufan!

How dare you speak like that!

Your mother begged me to come, you know!

Young man, don't be so hot-tempered.

Sit down and talk.

We've been through it all

and can help you build connections.

You should appreciate this.

Don't keep threatening to leave.

How will you ever accomplish anything?

Come on, drink up!

Sit down and we can still be friends.

Whether I drink or not is trivial,

but you with your late-stage cirrhosis still drinking,

that's quite dangerous.

How dare you talk like that!

I studied medicine.

Looking at your condition, it's clearly from excessive drinking.

I suggest you get a comprehensive liver examination,

otherwise, well...

you might only have two months left.

Kid, say one more word and I'll tear your mouth apart.

That cheap shampoo you're using is making your hair fall out badly.

You can't even leave home without your wig.

Take my advice,

go to the hospital.

Illnesses need treatment.

You...

Think carefully before you speak.

You wouldn't want everyone to know about your condition, would you?

Stop spreading rumors here!

Maiqing Hospital

has quite high medical standards.

Find time to get checked there.

Trust me, you won't regret it.

Mr. Ye, show some respect to my family.

Dr. Ye,

look at my poor memory!

The items you ordered last time have arrived.

I was focused on the mahjong game

and completely forgot.

When I heard you were dining at this hotel,

I came right over.

Who are you?

Why are you barging into someone else's room?

Your friend.

I don't want friends like this.

I don't think much of you either.

You don't even have a job.

Dr. Ye,

here are the keys to the Pagani you asked me to order.

All the paperwork is done.

Don't interrupt when I'm talking to Ye Bufan.

Dr. Ye,

here's the deed to the Yunding Mountain villa you asked me to purchase.

All the paperwork is complete.

My father personally helped select it when he heard you were buying.

Since Dr. Ye has guests.

I won't stay long.

I'll send someone to clean up again.

The villa is ready.

Dr. Ye can move in anytime.

Goodbye.

Ye Bufan, what are you pretending?

I bet this is another stooge hired by you or your mother.

I know you're afraid I won't like you.

It's just a shame.

The people you hired are so unprofessional.

Acting... could you at least make it more convincing?

Acting.

Acting.

I don't know about He Tianqi.

But in Maiqing, no one can make me, Tang Feng, play along with someone's act.

Tang Feng? Never heard of you.

Are you famous?

Guess.

What's going on here?

This is Tang Feng from the Tang family.

Even Master Ma Jiu has to bow to him.

Don't kneel.

What's all this about?

Get up.

Don't kneel.

You're all Brother Ye's friends and family.

You're putting me in a difficult position.

Please, everyone get up.

There's no need.

My leg is injured.

Give me a chance.

Oh my, look.

Being a doctor

is all about compassion.

Yes, exactly.

So young and already has a car

and a house too.

Such a promising future.

I was just joking about being an apprentice earlier.

A talented young man like you can find work anywhere.

I'll drink three glasses as punishment.

Xiaotong,

look,

you and young Ye make such a good match.

Xiaofan, let's set a time

for our families to get to know each other better.

No thanks.

Our values don't align,

there's no need for further discussion.

What are you doing?

My leg's gone numb from standing too long.

Let me walk a bit.

Ye Bufan, please be generous.

Can you forgive my little willfulness?

Look, all these relatives have come.

Could you please not leave?

This reminds me of some past events.

Right, you two were classmates.

We studied together.

Back then I also begged you

not to say I harassed you.

But you refused no matter what.

You even said spending 200 yuan to see me in distress was worth it.

Is that so?

Go lie down on that coffee table.

Hurry up.

Tongtong, help me!

Don't move.

Sis, I have 40,000 yuan in my bankbook.

It's hidden in the compartment of my wardrobe.

And take my used car too.

There's still a mortgage on the house.

You must help me pay it off no matter what.

My whole life...

Part of your liver problem is caused by negative energy.

Once we clear that away,

you can get treatment for the rest at the hospital.

All done.

Dr. Ye is treating you.

Hey,

the bloating seems gone.

My body feels much lighter.

I knew Xiaofan cared about our Sun family.

Thank you, Brother Xiaofan.

How can I ever repay you?

No need. It's just a doctor's duty.

Dr. Ye,

since doctors are compassionate,

can you treat my hemorrhoids?

Well,

you should go to a hospital for surgery.

My two senior masters,

I truly

am so sorry to you both

and to Master Xuanji.

Master Xuanji's kindness to me was immense,

yet I'm powerless to avenge him.

It's all because of that guy named Ye Bufan.

He not only defeated Master Xuanji,

but also took his Demon Refining Bottle and the Paradise Project.

Worth over 100 million!

If you both would avenge my master,

everything of his will belong to you.

After such an incident,

we feel terrible too.

Xiao Luo, don't be too sad.

Brother Xuanji never mentioned taking a disciple in his letters.

It's better not to use such terms of address anymore.

Let's put aside these matters.

Is this Ye Bufan really that powerful?

I think that old fool Xuanji must have been careless.

I'll go confront him myself.

Master Xuanhuo,

you absolutely cannot!

What?

You doubt I can beat him?

Though Xiao Luo isn't officially our disciple,

he and Brother Xuanji were like father and son.

He wouldn't side with outsiders.

Come, tell us.

What's so special about this Ye fellow?

This way,

we can better avenge Xuanji.

Master Xuanji selected a neighborhood

where he set up a Dark Yin Energy Formation.

Oh.

This Dr. Ye sure has great luck with women.

Ye Bufan, stop right there!

What now?

You didn't pay for the meal.

I didn't even touch the chopsticks.

Are you even a man?

You come to a blind date and don't pay for the meal?

You've already connected with the Tang family,

even having President Tang run errands for you,

yet you won't even pay for one meal.

We're just on a blind date.

Nothing is even close to settled yet.

What's wrong with you?

This meal

with over 20 dishes

and a bottle of fine wine

would take my whole family several months to earn.

Indeed.

Money doesn't come easy.

Don't waste what we ordered.

Let's go back and eat quickly.

It's so expensive after all.

Ye Bufan,

go ahead and be stingy.

I curse you to never get a girlfriend in your life.

What's the emergency?

I saw several missed calls.

My mom gave me this mission.

She insisted I come to this blind date.

Who are you?

How do you know Xiaofan?

This is my boyfriend.

Look,

Miss Qin is throwing herself at him.

I already have a girlfriend.

You have a girlfriend yet you're still going on blind dates?

Are you crazy?

What's wrong with letting my boyfriend check out the blind date market?

You...

you worthless jerk!

Think carefully before you speak.

My family has a legal team, you know.

Miss Sun,

the matter is resolved.

Please come back.

Mr. Tang,

you helped me?

I spoke to the manager for you.

He agreed to let your whole family wash dishes to pay off the debt.

Let's go.

Hahaha!

Is that for real?

That weird girl was really someone your mom picked for you?

What else could I do?

I couldn't find anyone to help in this emergency.

Good thing you showed up.

Just to deal with my mom.

Have you considered a permanent solution?

For that small incident from five years ago,

you're so petty.

You must have bad luck every day

and go bankrupt every year.

You're not done wiping yet?

I've already washed 500 plates.

You're so slow at wiping tables.

How long will it take to clear this debt?

Our family has completely lost face in front of our relatives today.

Mom.

This is my girlfriend.

Qin Chuchu.

Mrs. Ouyang.

This is a small gift.

Please accept it.

I knew it.

Your aunt's recommendation of Miss Sun couldn't be wrong.

Look.

Such good manners.

Truly different.

Mom.

Please don't let aunt set me up anymore.

This isn't from that blind date.

Chuchu and I fell in love naturally.

We've known each other for a while.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Always making me worry.

Mom.

I...

Hello.

What?

They refuse to go in.

Okay.

I'll be right there.

I'm sorry.

There's an emergency at work.

I need to go to the site.

That's fine.

I'll take your mom shopping.

You go handle your business.

Tell me the truth.

Did Xiaofan pay you to come here?

Don't worry, Mrs. Ouyang.

There could be many reasons to invite me here.

But money is definitely not one of them.

Director Ye.

What's going on?

The neighborhood has returned to normal.

I thought we could finish the project soon.

So I called in the construction team.

It was fine at first.

But today, something strange happened.

Several workers claimed they saw something weird.

And now no one wants to go in.

Did you tell them we'd double their pay?

I did.

But they're afraid they'll earn the money.

And never get to spend it.

Everyone.

I'll bring someone today to solve all these strange problems in the neighborhood.

Everyone go home and rest today.

You'll still get paid.

Come back tomorrow.

Okay.

Mr. Ye, aren't you supposed to be the best?

If you can't handle it,

who do you plan to call?

Of course,

the police.

Look,

someone has set up another negative energy formation in this neighborhood.

It seems even more powerful than the previous one.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and destroy it.

If I wanted to destroy it,

why would I have called you here?

Although this thing is harmful to ordinary people,

for practitioners like us,

it's actually an excellent training ground.

Come on,

channel your energy

to resist the negative energy.

This negative energy is essentially a collection of negative forces.

Ordinary people can't see or touch it,

but the mystical energy you use can counter it perfectly.

Uh...

Hmm.

Ye Bufan.

Let your mystical energy flow to your legs

and kick it.

Those excellent legs of yours

would be wasted without using mystical energy.

Shouldn't you first teach me

how to channel energy to my legs before fighting these things?

Learning during battle is the fastest way to improve.

Don't

worry,

if anything happens,

I can always hold you

and give you some special treatment.

Ye Bufan,

are you asking for death?

See?

You've already mastered energy channeling to dispel negative forces.

I told you,

practical combat is the fastest way to learn.

Alright, you keep practicing.

I'll go pick up Mr. Guan.

Ye Bufan,

we'll see about that.

In the Shangri-La Neighborhood,

I've shifted the magnetic field to recreate the negative energy formation,

far surpassing Xuanji's previous work.

Though Xuanji's formation skills were mediocre,

he did choose an excellent feng shui location.

Ye Bufan has arrived.

I sense something wrong with the neighborhood's atmosphere.

The formation has been broken.

How powerful is this guy exactly?

I can't tell.

Both masters are finding this troublesome now.

Anyone who can break my formation

must have some real skills.

But whether he can fight well

we'll only know after confronting him.

Indeed.

However, confronting this guy directly

might not be worth it.

Xiao Luo,

find information about Ye Bufan's family and friends.

I'll think of another approach.

I've already collected information on Ye Bufan.

Several of his relatives are easily accessible.

Master Xuanying really has ways to deal with him.

You don't know,

in our mystical arts community,

there's a saying:

'Better to provoke the King of Hell

than to offend Xuanying.'

Mr. Guan, look,

Officer He has completely resolved the issues here,

so we can resume work tomorrow, right?

Resuming work shouldn't be a problem,

but Mr. Ye,

if you want to make this the most high-end residential area in all of Maiqing,

we'll need additional funding.

How much do you need?

Give me a figure.

Well...

We need an additional investment of 50 million.

50 million?

That's a bit much.

Don't worry about the money.

I'll transfer 20 million to you when I get back

as payment for the first phase.

After the first phase is completed,

I'll transfer the remaining amount.

Very well.

I'll organize the schedule

and submit it for your review tomorrow, Mr. Ye.

I need to go now.

There's something at the police station.

Not bad.

Mr. Bi!

What brings you here?

Guan Dongping.

Impressive.

Is this your car?

No, no.

I could never afford this car.

It belongs to my boss,

Mr. Ye Bufan.

Hello.

I heard Shangri-La has a new owner,

didn't expect it would be you.

Just got lucky with a bargain.

Nice car.

Let me drive it.

Who are you?

Guan Dongping,

tell Mr. Ye who I am.

Mr. Ye,

Mr. Bi is the CEO of Qingyao Media,

with the best promotional resources in Maiqing.

Since this is our first meeting,

I only want 30% of the profits from this property

plus this car.

Don't worry.

With my promotion,

your complex will sell even if it's haunted every day.

Mr. Ye,

no one in our industry

dares to offend Bi Haiquan.

I'll give you five minutes to consider.

After today,

I'm afraid I'll demand 50% of the profits.

I don't need five minutes.

I can give you my answer now.

Get your brain checked soon.

Delays might lead to cerebral palsy.

Mr. Guan,

let's go.

No need to waste words on this person.

Ye Bufan, right?

I'll remember you.

I'll make sure you can't sell a single apartment.

Ye Bufan,

we'll see about that.

Where did you find this girl?

It's really

too kind.

It's nothing.

I just bought you a few outfits,

but you're reluctant to wear them.

Oh my!

This fabric is too nice.

I don't have many activities day to day,

it would be a waste to wear them.

It's not a waste.

These clothes

are just ordinary outfits.

Auntie,

you should wear them.

Indeed.

Mom,

just wear them as everyday clothes.

Chuchu,

it's our first meeting,

too many gifts aren't appropriate.

It's not too much.

This is just a small token of my appreciation,

I'm happy if it makes you happy.

Hello.

Xiaohui.

I'm at Maiqing.

You've owed me money for how many years now?

Didn't you say you'd pay me back after Xiaofan graduated?

I can pay you back today.

We've got some money recently.

I was planning to go back home

to give you the money in person.

It's good that you're here now.

Great.

Come, let me treat you to a meal.

Mom.

Why are you being so polite?

Just give them the money and that's it.

I don't want to associate with them.

When you were seriously ill,

they not only didn't care if you lived or died,

but also said all those terrible things.

Son.

They might have done wrong this time,

but didn't they lend us money for your education?

Now that we have money,

it's only right to treat them as relatives.

If you feel uncomfortable,

why don't you go out with Chuchu for a while?

I'm not leaving.

If I leave,

they'll bully you even more.

You're good in every way,

except sometimes you're too soft-hearted.

Then please control yourself later

and don't get angry with them for no reason.

Since you're having guests,

I'll take my leave now.

Goodbye, Mrs. Li. See you next time.

Do come visit us again.

This is Ye Bufan's aunt,

Ouyang Hui.

She's harsh and mean-spirited.

This is Ouyang Hui's son,

Kang Zhijun.

Just like his mother.

Secretary Qiao told me

they're going to Zui Jiangnan Restaurant.

We'll just wait for them here.

People who are bitter and mean

are actually the easiest to control.

Really!

Borrowing money and not knowing when to pay back,

forcing us to remind them again and again.

Absolutely shameless.

Mom.

You're just too kind-hearted.

If I were you,

I wouldn't care even if they died.

Next,

we just wait for Ye Bufan to lose control.

Please wait here for a moment.

Wow!

What kind of dumb luck did my sister have?

Just recovered and already has money to treat us here.

Putting on a show they can't afford.

I bet

they just want to eat well themselves.

Then stick us with the bill.

Stick us with the bill?

Dream on!

I'll strangle her if she dares.

Although we do have some money,

we can't just let them spend it for nothing.

Xiaohui,

you're here.

Was the journey tiring?

Sister.

Didn't Xiaofan say you were dying a few days ago?

He even asked me for money.

But now I see

you're alive and well.

Don't blame Xiaofan.

I was indeed seriously ill before,

in intensive care for a while.

I've just recovered well now.

I see you've really recovered well, sis.

Even affording to dine at such a high-end restaurant.

Must be quite expensive to eat here.

No wonder you haven't paid back what you owe us.

Xiaohui.

Don't misunderstand.

Actually, this restaurant...

Enough.

Since you can afford to dine here,

you might as well pay back what you owe first.

Otherwise, you won't have money to pay

after your meal. How embarrassing.

Xiaohui.

I've already prepared the money.

Thank you for your help these days.

Why only 3,000?

Even if it was in a bank,

there should be some interest, right?

If we're settling accounts,

that's fine.

My mother paid for your college education,

which cost at least 6,000 in total.

Have you paid that back?

That's a different matter.

Your mother offered to pay for my education voluntarily.

But what you borrowed was a loan.

Perfect.

As long as Ye Bufan uses his spiritual energy against Ouyang Hui,

my dark energy will follow his meridians,

invade his heart,

and eventually drive him mad,

destroying his powers completely.

Your mother and I are sisters.

It's only natural that she helped me.

She hasn't said anything,

so who are you,

a mere youngster, to boss me around?

Besides,

are you even her biological son?

Get angry.

Strike.

Then die.

Are you her biological son?

My son.

As long as you care about me,

I'm already comforted.

As for other things,

why calculate so precisely?

Do good deeds

without asking for rewards.

That's what I taught you.

Have you forgotten?

But...

It's been a while since I visited Xiaojun.

This is a small token of appreciation.

Please accept it.

You're too kind.

We came in a hurry this time.

It's just a small gift,

nothing special.

What's wrong?

Could there be a master involved?

I'm not sure if it's coincidental or if there's really a master.

We can try again.

Oh my!

Xiaohui,

why so formal?

Oh!

I made a mistake.

Put it back.

Is this what you're drinking?

What do you mean?

With your unrefined palate,

can you even tell good from bad?

This is meant to be a gift for Dr. Cao.

It costs 10,000 per box.

You really had the nerve to take it.

Aren't you afraid it's too good for your taste?

Alright.

Whatever auntie brings is a gesture of goodwill.

Besides,

mom has stomach problems

and she happens to like black tea.

You're here to see Dr. Cao

for treatment?

Yes.

Xiaojun has a strange illness lately.

He gets terrible headaches at night,

but during the day he seems completely fine.

We've been to many hospitals with no luck.

So now

we've come to Maiqing to find Mr. Cao Xinghua.

This tea

is prepared especially for him.

You should definitely bring some good tea.

Oh, by the way,

Xiaofan,

can you help us contact Dr. Cao?

As if someone like him could know Dr. Cao.

You've got some nerve.

I had to pay for your education,

and now you think you can help me?

Counting on you two

is less likely than winning the lottery.

Why don't

you let Xiaofan take a look?

He cured my illness,

and many important people seek his treatment too.

Important people?

He's just a kid who barely graduated.

How could he possibly know important people?

I'd rather die from my illness

than let him treat me.

If he treats me,

he might end up crippling me.

Xiaofan,

let it go.

Why should I?

With their attitude,

why should I be polite to them?

They might have ruined my body completely.

Xiaofan.

Forget it.

Forget nothing!

With their attitude

why should I be polite to them?

These ungrateful people dare to yell at me.

Hit here.

Xiaojun.

Someone help!

Quick, someone save Xiaojun!

His illness

is caused by evil energy invasion.

The evil energy attacked his heart

causing him to faint.

Alright.

I've helped expel some of the evil energy now.

He won't be in danger for now.

But for proper treatment

you still need to...

Who asked you to treat him?

Who begged you to treat him?

What if Dr. Cao says you gave improper treatment?

What about my son then?

Then consider this just first aid.

You should hurry and find Dr. Cao.

Goodbye, no need to see you out.

Leaving without a word

is so rude.

Thanks for your help just now.

What?

It's nothing.

Hello?

Brother Ye.

I've run into a problem here

that I can't solve.

Could you please come and help?

Yes,

it's quite tricky.

Please come as soon as possible.

Ye Bufan actually managed to dodge my attack.

I'll have to conceal their negative energy

to use it later.

You should have increased the force

when you had the upper hand.

That mother and daughter are ordinary people.

If I had increased it,

the young one would have passed out.

What a pity.

We almost got rid of that Ye guy.

What do we do now?

This guy

has some skills.

We need to plan carefully.

So,

you two masters also want me to stay away from Ye Bufan?

Let's just say he got lucky this time.

I should be the one to deal with him,

face to face.

This kind of trouble

needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Xuanhuo,

don't be reckless.

This kid is nothing but a firefly's glow.

He's no match for me.

I refuse to believe

that this beardless boy

could stand against me.

I'm sorry,

I had some work matters to handle.

Thank you both for waiting.

We just arrived.

Director Zhou, thank you for making time to see us

despite your busy schedule.

Uncle Zhou.

Just a small gift,

nothing special.

Your father and I are old classmates.

No need to be so formal.

About Xiaojun's illness,

has Lao Kang told you everything?

We'd like you to introduce us

to Dr. Cao for a consultation.

Dr. Cao is a renowned physician.

However,

he's very busy.

I can only offer to introduce you.

Whether he'll see you or not

depends on his availability.

Please do your best to help us.

Lao Kang and I only have this one son.

We're counting on you.

I'm heading there to pick up some medicine.

I'll take you.

Director Zhou,

what brings you here?

This is my old classmate's child

who has a strange illness.

Could Dr. Cao take a look?

Well...

I'm sorry,

Dr. Cao is currently researching a new acupuncture technique

and shouldn't be disturbed.

We can pay.

We can pay a lot.

Sorry.

I apologize,

but it's really not about money.

Dr. Cao said

he won't see any patients today.

That's just how Dr. Cao is.

You can wait here,

perhaps Dr. Cao will come out after work.

My son's condition can't wait!

Why don't

you try to persuade Dr. Cao yourself?

There's nothing I can do.

Dr. Cao is highly skilled,

but that's just his temperament.

Please wait here for now.

I need to go get some prescriptions filled.

All right.

So you've learned martial arts?

Yes.

Shuangshuang,

you learned from young Ye?

How far have you two progressed?

What do you mean?

We're just friends,

training partners, that's all.

How foolish!

That young Ye is quite talented.

You need to act quickly.

I've signed you up for cooking classes

and housekeeping classes.

After work,

you should attend them.

Why should I?

Shouldn't he be pursuing me?

That blockhead

always going on about seniority.

I might not even want to be with him.

If you don't act now,

tomorrow he'll be in the arms of the Qin family girl.

People have seen

that the Qin girl

is extremely attentive to his mother.

If you make an effort now,

there's still time.

Grandpa fully supports you.

Ah!

Well...

Good afternoon.

Is Dr. Cao in?

Yes.

He is.

Dr. Cao said when you arrived,

you could go straight in to see him.

This way.

Hey, you two!

What are you doing?

This is a restricted medical area.

No unauthorized entry.

If he can go in to see Dr. Cao,

why can't I?

How can you compare yourself to Master Physician Ye?

He's Dr. Cao's senior colleague.

How old is he anyway?

Master physician? Senior colleague to Dr. Cao? Please!

You should think before making up such stories.

Exactly.

I bet

you took money from him

to let him in.

How much did he pay you?

I'll give you double.

What's all this shouting about?

Have you no respect for rules?

If you can't behave, get out!

You...

Don't get upset.

Don't make yourself ill.

When that guy comes out,

we'll ask him what's going on.

You're in good spirits, Dr. Cao.

Patients are waiting outside,

yet you're here enjoying the scenery.

Whenever I think about your Nine Revival Needles technique,

I lose my appetite

and only regret not meeting you sooner.

I've been practicing medicine for decades,

but compared to you, senior brother,

it feels like wasted time.

Dr. Cao,

are you alright?

Is something troubling you?

I don't have any troubles.

If anything,

it's your Nine Revival Needles technique.

It's truly miraculous,

making me realize

the profound depth of Ancient Medical techniques.

I tried to study it myself,

and this is the result.

My entire arm is numb,

I can't move it at all.

So I can't treat the patients waiting outside.

Dr. Cao, your needle placement is quite precise.

Your foundational skills in acupoint location are solid.

Look,

there aren't any unnecessary needle marks.

It seems your left hand was paralyzed after the first needle.

Please stop teasing me.

Senior brother,

please help me quickly,

otherwise

I'll completely lose face.

What are you doing?

Why are you blocking me?

The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems.

How old is that kid anyway?

Claiming to be Old Cao's senior.

Isn't he treating us like fools?

Does your Baicao Hall have any medical ethics left?

What's all this noise about?

Is Baicao Hall a place for you to make such a racket?

But that Ye fellow is pretending to be a miracle doctor.

Dr. Ye cured Boss Dong's son.

Boss Dong gave him the Zui Jiangnan Restaurant.

This was even in the newspapers.

Well...

If you already knew him,

why didn't you go to him directly?

Or have him put in a word with Old Cao?

Director Zhou, your medicine has been packed at the pharmacy.

I'm leaving.

Take care of yourselves.

Don't embarrass Old Kang.

That restaurant really belongs to him?

No wonder he planned to treat us there.

So stingy.

Exactly.

He owns such a big restaurant,

yet only gave a 5,000 yuan red envelope.

Really cheap.

Hmph.

This is truly rare.

My technique isn't actually fighting against evil energy.

Is that so?

I've also encountered several cases of evil energy contamination lately.

I handled them with the evil-dispelling needles you taught me.

What's really going on?

Well...

What else could it be?

Someone's stirring up trouble.

Though Xuanji was defeated, others are still causing problems.

This matter needs further investigation.

We need to control it from the source.

Just focus on your regular duties.

I'll handle the root problem.

If I were twenty years younger,

I could have been of some help to you.

I appreciate the thought.

It's done.

Already healed?

How did you treat it?

Words aren't clear enough.

Why don't you paralyze yourself,

so I can demonstrate for you?

Never mind.

I'll learn it slowly.

Take my time.

In other words,

the Nine Revival Needles technique targets nine specific acupoints

to awaken the body's meridian functions

and is especially effective for patients infected with negative energy.

Unfortunately, book knowledge is never enough.

I want to learn more about how negative energy works

so I can practice the Nine Revival Needles technique.

Dr. Cao!

Master Cao!

Help me!

Who are you people?

Do you have an appointment?

Dr. Cao, I'm Xiaoye's aunt.

Our family often takes care of him.

Yes,

I used to take his things when I was little...

No, I mean we used to play together.

Dr. Cao.

This is what they call 'searching far and wide in vain,

only to find it without effort.'

That can't be.

I've already made the injected negative energy contract and lie dormant.

How could it still be detected?

I've suppressed the negative energy.

Just focus on applying the needles.

This case is very representative.

This is a new type of negative energy,

with different properties than what we've seen before,

so the needle placement is different too.

Dr. Cao, will he be alright?

I've just learned this technique.

For treating this condition,

my senior is an expert.

Don't worry,

he's backing me up.

We'll definitely cure him.

The treatment process might be painful.

I suggest family members step outside.

Ye Bufan, you're not going to take this chance to torture my son, are you?

No,

Dr. Cao is in charge here.

I'm just offering suggestions.

Look,

your needle depth is incorrect.

The negative energy flows deep in the meridians.

The needle must go deep enough to expel it.

Too shallow won't have any effect.

Here,

pull it out and try again.

Let's go. Don't interfere with Dr. Cao's treatment.

He wouldn't harm your child.

Is this really okay?

How come you're so precise when treating yourself,

but your hand shakes when treating others?

Let's try again.

Xiaojun has never suffered like this before.

Listen,

isn't the patient's vital energy getting stronger?

Next patient.

Me.

Don't worry, I'm skilled now.

Let's have another patient

so I can consolidate what I've learned.

Come.

Master Xuanying.

That guy has already noticed.

He cut off my negative energy connection.

Now

we can only see if Xuanhuo can use that feng shui treasure land

to make arrangements.

That Ye person is really too much.

He could have taken us

to see Dr. Cao during dinner,

but he made us waste a whole day.

This Cao guy isn't any better either.

I'm clearly not sick,

yet he still wanted to give me acupuncture,

claiming it was preventative.

That's strange.

Xuanying clearly controlled these two people,

but why

can't I sense

the killing energy Xuanying placed inside them?

Oh well,

I'll go set things up at that neighborhood first.

Hello,

Director Ma.

Don't trouble yourself,

I'll come to your place.

See you soon.

Hello, dear viewers,

I'm your old friend Brother Bi.

Recently,

a certain property has been in the spotlight.

Without further ado,

let Brother Bi take you

to this mysterious Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood

to see what's really going on.

Negative energy surges,

anger spreads everywhere.

We all know

that this Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood

has been plagued by death cases from the very beginning.

As for what exactly caused these deaths...

Look everyone,

the things they've drawn on this plaza

are worth investigating.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Stay away from me!

I'm the CEO of Qingyao Media!

You're

here to promote this neighborhood?

This neighborhood looks nice.

I'm helping you promote it.

No promotion allowed!

Everyone look.

What they've drawn in this square.

Is worth investigating.

What are you doing?

You.

Are here to promote this neighborhood.

This neighborhood looks nice.

I'm helping you promote it.

No promotion allowed.

There really are ghosts.

There really are ghosts.

Hahaha!

This is big news!

What's going on?

My new Apple phone!

Don't think I can't deal with you.

I have plenty of ways.

Shocking!

Shangri-La Neighborhood haunted.

Frequent accidents.

Our reporter investigating the case was violently abused.

Is this the distortion of humanity.

Or the collapse of morality?

Hmph.

Hello.

Is this Marketing Department?

There's an urgent task.

I'll send a video, see how we can refute these rumors.

Yes.

It's that Qingyao Media again, always spreading rumors about us.

You should send someone to check out the scene too.

Better if we force him to call the police.

But I think he's just after money.

He won't call the police.

This Shiwai Taoyuan Neighborhood

why are there so many people here?

Now we can't set up the formation.

Looks like we'll have to find another place.

What are you doing?

I've called the police.

This is my sister's restaurant.

I can smash it however I want.

All of you outsiders, mind your own business.

You've got some nerve.

Who sent you here?

Who are you?

I work for Master Ma Jiu.

I'm Bao.

So you're Bao, huh?

Please spare us, Mr. Bao!

We were wrong!

I really am Ouyang Lan's sister!

Why are these two such cowards?

They're so scared they're completely out of control.

You can fight!

Get up!

I said get up!

Useless! Absolutely useless!

Please have mercy, sir!

We just got out of treatment today.

Our emotions are unstable.

Please let us mother and son go.

You're sick?

If you're sick, how can you lift chairs and smash things?

Today I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget.

Stop!

What's going on here?

Sister,

how dare you hire someone to beat me!

Hmm?

Ah!

Mom,

what's wrong?

I had a nightmare.

Someone wanted to hurt us.

Why did you come here today?

Hmph!

You got rich and forgot about us.

I even lent you money before.

And now you hire this thug to beat your sister!

What?

You came here smashing things up.

I was just stepping in to help. Is that wrong?

Look!

He's clearly targeting me and my son.

This guy started smashing the place as soon as he arrived.

What kind of behavior is this?

If I don't teach him a lesson,

he'll think he can get away with anything.

It's all because of your precious son.

I took Zhijun to see Dr. Cao for treatment,

but your son had to interfere,

taking the opportunity for revenge,

making Zhijun suffer terribly.

That's impossible.

Xiaofan isn't that kind of person.

Don't pretend you don't know what's going on.

Look at him!

Look at how he is -

muscular, fierce, looking like he wants to eat someone alive.

Your son conspired with this kind of person to attack his own family.

Is he even human anymore?

Hmph!

What's the point of living?

I might as well die.

Now you should understand

how difficult things were for me back then.

These two bullies

don't even have the courage to face others in a fair fight.

Although they lack the courage to fight,

when it comes to asking for trouble,

they're quite skilled.

We can use them as stepping stones

to spread the negative energy to others.

When Ye Bufan attacks others,

the negative energy will strike their hearts.

Let's go inside to talk.

They're about to open for business.

No.

Why should I save face for your family?

Today,

right here,

let's get everything out in the open.

Let's reason with my fists.

Fine.

Then let's clear things up right here today.

Son,

they say

when Old Mr. Cao was treating Zhijun,

you took the opportunity for revenge.

Is that true?

Are you kidding me?

My junior Cao only treated you

as a favor to me.

Your condition requires the Nine Revival Needles.

That pain is completely normal.

Nonsense!

How could someone as young as you be Old Cao's senior?

How could someone as young as you be Old Cao's senior?

Who would believe that?

Exactly.

You must have taken personal revenge,

causing me to faint occasionally now.

I have Old Cao's number here.

Should we call him to confirm?

It's easy to find someone to act the part.

AI voice technology is so common these days.

Who can stop you from deceiving people?

Come on,

hit us if you dare.

What?

I saved you,

and you show no gratitude,

but come here making a scene instead?

Then let's try another approach.

Let's have the police come and sort this out.

Xiaofan,

don't be like this.

We're all family.

Mom,

don't worry.

I'm in a good mood today.

I'm just messing with them.

Hmph.

I knew you wouldn't dare.

The negative energy in your bodies is flaring up again.

Let me treat you now.

If you think it's too much,

you can call the police right now.

Alright, alright.

Let's show some mercy.

Thank you for today.

Stay for a simple meal.

You're Master Jiu's friend.

It's the least I could do.

My pleasure.

Hello.

The villa at Yunding Mountain is ready for inspection.

Good,

I can go there.

These two useless fools,

I've had enough.

I'll deal with this kid myself.

If you want to use this method to control people, go ahead.

Wait.

I'm coming too.

The He family works efficiently.

They've arranged the villa so quickly.

As for Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun,

I've planted mystical energy in them to suppress their negative forces.

With this restraint, they can't cause any trouble.

The person behind all this must be getting restless now.

Dr. Ye,

the villa's renovation has been completed,

I hired nationally renowned designers for the interior,

it's ready for immediate occupancy.

The elevator building has direct access to the underground garage,

there are three cars prepared for you in the garage.

Let's go

and take a look outside.

Please follow me.

This garden was designed by a master landscaper.

Are you satisfied with the environment?

The scenery is beautiful,

the air is fresh,

it's indeed a nice place.

This villa complex has professional staff for maintenance,

the property management fees for five years have been paid,

the remaining funds have been returned to your card,

please contact me anytime if you need anything.

Yes,

I'll look around

and will definitely contact you if there are any issues.

Then I'll take my leave now.

What's wrong,

are you planning to just stand there?

This newly acquired house,

I don't want it contaminated by some vermin.

Young man,

not bad skills you have.

And you over there, stop hiding.

If you don't come out,

how can I properly entertain you both?

You dare to harm someone from our Qingyun Sect,

I assume you're prepared for the consequences.

Master Xuanji committed many evil deeds,

he brought this upon himself

and got what he deserved.

Those ordinary people are like ants,

how can they compare to cultivators like us?

You killed my junior brother,

I'll take your entire family's lives in return.

Xuanji is dead?

That's not right,

I only disabled his martial arts.

Stop pretending,

in this city,

you're the only one who could have killed him.

Even if you didn't kill him,

you destroyed his cultivation,

which to our sect

is reason enough for you to die.

That's right.

You.

However,

I see you have some talent,

so I can give you a chance.

What's there to discuss?

Xuanji is already...

Compared to Xuanji,

we should focus more on the future of Qingyun Sect.

Kid,

you took quite a few things from Xuanji.

Hand over the Demon Refining Bottle,

and I'll spare your life.

This bottle

can be exchanged for Xuanji's life.

It seems Xuanji isn't worth much to you.

Hahaha!

You're such a complete fool.

Since you have the bottle,

we'll just take it from you.

Damn that Xuanhuo!

Couldn't he be more subtle?

I was trying to talk to him calmly.

Wouldn't it be better to fill him with killing energy before finishing him?

Hand over the Demon Refining Bottle.

This is your last chance.

A Yellow Realm Grand Master

and a Mystic Realm Beginner

have no right to talk to me about chances.

As long as you channel your mystical energy,

you'll definitely fall into demonic deviation.

I knew there was a trick.

Such a good opportunity for me to attack you,

yet that guy doesn't even try to ambush from behind,

as if he doesn't care about you at all.

So what if you know?

Take my sword!

This is impossible!

How could you know how to break through the killing energy?

Attacking Xuanhuo's weak spot.

You thought you controlled my relatives

without me noticing?

I tested it when treating them.

To deal with you all,

I need to use mystical energy to open a path before breaking your defense.

As for blocking meridians,

it's nothing but a trivial trick in my eyes.

His meridians are blocked.

Being consumed by killing energy is just a matter of time.

Now it's your turn.

You don't really think

you've got this in the bag, do you?

Aren't you supposed to be powerful?

Without getting close,

how will you defeat me?

I have plenty of ways.

Strike!

Thankfully, Boss Luo didn't recognize its value,

letting me have such a treasure.

Otherwise, facing you today

would have taken much more effort.

Stop!

Ye family boy,

don't be hasty to attack.

I see your cultivation technique is extraordinary.

Would you be interested in joining forces with me?

Join forces with you?

I see your talent is extraordinary

Your future achievements will surely be boundless.

However, when it comes to cultivation,

wealth, companions, methods, and location

are all essential.

Join my Qingyun Sect,

with our sect's cultivation resources,

your progress will surely be twice as effective.

This is a win-win situation.

What do you think?

Just this?

No thanks.

I can acknowledge you as my master.

You know,

I can make many people become your subordinates.

Everyone has jealousy in their hearts.

With my control,

in less than six months,

Maiqing will be yours to command.

The conditions are quite tempting.

So...

But these despicable methods,

I look down upon them.

Then tell me what you want.

I want your Qingyun Sect to completely disappear from this world.

I've been patient repeatedly.

Why do you keep pushing me?

I've shown restraint many times.

Why do you keep pushing me?

Your methods are underhanded.

Using such devious ways to control people's minds.

What kind of skill is that?

I knew you'd arrive first.

And surely set something up in this courtyard.

Therefore.

The silver needles I just shot.

Were all placed with purpose.

Damn it!

You're lucky.

There's no escape.

Don't get excited.

Everything can be discussed.

I can get the money you want tonight.

We'll talk face to face then.

Gu.

Stop trying to fool me.

You people work.

With dark hearts.

Quickly send someone to talk with me.

The sooner the better.

Behave yourself.

Just passing by.

Carry on.

Oh, by the way,

I need to ask something.

Have you seen a sorcerer?

About this tall,

who climbs walls like me.

Kid,

what are you playing at?

What sorcerer?

Never seen one.

If you're sent by the Gu family,

just get to the point.

Stop beating around the bush.

What did they say

about our terms?

Don't move.

Uh...

You've got the wrong person.

I wasn't sent by the Gu family.

I have to go now.

Goodbye.

You think you can just leave?

No, stay back!

Sigh.

Look,

I was going to leave,

but you were too insistent

on keeping me here.

My hand is shaking.

Don't come any closer.

If you come closer,

my shaking hand

might end up anywhere.

Hand tremors, huh?

What a coincidence. I'm a doctor.

Let me treat you.

Still shaking?

Stop!

Can't stop it!

They can't catch up now.

Forget it.

Wow!

Big brother, you're so cool!

How did you dodge those flying knives?

Do you have a girlfriend?

How about I become your girlfriend?

I'll call the police for you.

I'll be going now.

Where do you think you're going?

You haven't received your payment yet.

I knew Auntie would send someone to rescue me.

Auntie really knows my taste,

sending such a handsome guy.

There's payment?

How much?

Move your hand. I'll apply the medicine.

This trembling might be contagious.

Aren't you a doctor?

Please cure me.

I'm applying medicine now.

It'll be better soon.

Alright.

Since we're just waiting around,

could you show me that knife-dodging trick again?

Who's there?

Get lost!

Hmph!

Looking for death?

It's all your fault

we got sent to the outskirts.

If it weren't for you,

I would have caught up with Weiwei by now.

You, Ye,

there's plenty of time ahead.

This debt

we'll settle slowly.

Wow, that's so cool!

You caught all the ones I threw at once!

Wait a moment.

Is this how you repay someone who saved your life?

What a shame.

What's a shame?

My name is Gu Qiaoqiao.

What's your name?

Ye Bufan.

Hey.

If my aunt didn't ask you to rescue me,

why did you show up here?

Could it be that you saw my beauty

and fell in love at first sight,

risking your life

to save a damsel in distress?

No.

I really just took a wrong turn.

How come you're not scared at all about being kidnapped?

And why is your family organizing their own rescue

instead of calling the police first?

Didn't you learn in school

that kidnappers demanding ransom don't usually kill their victims?

What kind of school did you go to?

If you just happened to pass by,

doesn't that mean we have a special connection?

Big brother?

You're so young,

yet your mind is full of nonsense all day.

I'm not that young.

I'm already 18.

Eighteen?

Who are you kidding?

Alright.

It's true!

Then I must offer myself to you in gratitude.

That won't be necessary.

If treating a minor wound requires such payment,

then the women who want to marry me

would form a line stretching across the ocean.

Don't go!

Yes, I'm already here.

The kidnapper looks very young.

There might be internal conflict.

Make sure to block all exits.

Anyone who dares to target our family

should be shown no mercy.

Whispering over there,

do you think I can't hear you?

You also practice martial arts.

Yes, I'm already here.

The kidnappers look very young.

There might be internal conflict.

Seal all exits immediately.

Those who dare to target our family

Show no mercy.

Whispering over there

Think I can't hear you?

You also practice martial arts.

Let go of Gu Qiaoqiao.

We can negotiate any conditions you want.

My condition right now is

could you ask her to let go of me first?

Auntie

You've misunderstood.

Brother Ye saved me.

He's my savior.

Alert canceled.

Brother Ye

This is

my aunt Gu Qingcheng,

a gorgeous beauty cold as ice.

Qiaoqiao

What exactly happened?

First, a group of kidnappers came.

Then they tied me up

and demanded ransom.

But Brother Ye happened to pass by

like a hero saving a damsel in distress.

With all his fighting moves

like a dragon battling wolves,

he took care of all of them.

Uh...

Alright.

Are you hurt?

I was!

That kidnapper had a knife

slashing at my neck, left and right,

up and down,

my neck was nearly cut off.

But

Brother Ye has completely healed me.

Look, not even a scar left.

Let me tell you,

this handsome guy is kind-hearted

and we have a connection.

I think we should invite him to...

Enough, Qiaoqiao.

Look at yourself, all dirty and messy.

Go take a shower first.

I need to speak with your Brother Ye.

Oh.

Alright.

Since the young lady needs to talk,

I'll step aside.

Speak.

You went to great lengths

to stage this hero-saves-damsel act.

What exactly do you want?

I think you misunderstood.

I don't know you

or these men in black.

I was

chasing a thief into your home,

which caused this mess.

This is Yunding Mountain Neighborhood.

What thief would dare come here?

At least make up a believable excuse.

It's complicated to explain.

I've already called the police.

I'll be going now.

Today,

if you don't reveal who's behind you and your purpose,

don't even think about leaving our Gu family.

If you have questions, ask that little girl.

I helped save someone for you,

and you repay me with false accusations?

Move aside.

You've messed with the Gu family.

How could we just let you leave?

Nice kick.

Seems like

I need to teach you a lesson.

No need.

Unstable center of gravity.

Telegraphed movements.

Weak execution.

Are you teaching me how to kick?

Hey,

I just couldn't help commenting.

Don't take it personally.

How dare you!

A petty thief

daring to criticize the Gu family martial arts.

Your skill level is truly inadequate.

Let go!

Release me!

I'm just...

First,

teaching you not to be reckless.

Coming here alone,

these criminals were prepared.

If it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have escaped unharmed.

You...

Second,

teaching you to use your brain.

If I really wanted something,

why would I leave these kidnappers behind?

Let me go!

Don't go too far!

Third,

teaching you about your poor training.

Just flashy moves

and you won't take advice.

Release me!

We can talk about everything.

Why are you so rude?

You just said we could talk.

Ah.

What do you want?

Sing me a song

and I'll let you go.

Or we can continue sparring if you prefer.

I'll sing!

Stop!

Singing a children's song at your age is one thing,

but you're off-key too.

I...

I'm not good at singing.

Well...

This is already my best song.

That's your best?

I haven't sung in 18 years and I'm still better than you.

Wait.

How did I end up singing for you?

Look,

what a beautiful sky today.

Finished washing?

Just halfway done.

Came out for some fresh air.

I'll go back and finish washing.

No need.

Auntie,

do you have a fever?

Why is your face so red?

Brother Ye, aren't you a doctor?

Help her quickly!

It's nothing.

I'm just nervous.

It's my first time singing in front of others.

It's my first time hearing it too.

Delete that video.

I won't.

Auntie singing

is a rare sight.

I'm going to post it online.

It'll definitely get lots of likes.

Give it to me.

Delete it now.

I put my phone in Brother Ye's clothes.

Come and get it if you dare.

You're really hitting me?

We're on the same team.

Sorry for the embarrassment.

This kid never shows proper respect.

Thank you for your help.

Listen,

if you're free later,

I'd like to treat you to a meal.

Yes, great!

I want to eat.

Come here right now.

You're really hitting me?

You're my auntie!

Make yourself at home.

I'll go to the bathroom.

Brother Ye,

when I wasn't here,

what exactly did you do to my auntie?

Something feels off.

She was acting strange in the car earlier.

I gave her a good talking-to.

You didn't beat her up, did you?

She came at me without any explanation

and tried to attack me.

Between me and my auntie,

who do you like better?

Wait a minute.

What are you talking about?

Brother Ye,

let's be straightforward.

if you like my auntie,

you can be more honest about it.

I tried everything to keep you from leaving earlier

because I think you and my auntie

make a good match.

What's going on in that little head of yours?

Can't you focus on your studies instead?

My auntie studied hard enough,

and what happened?

She still hasn't found the right person.

I always thought

she'd always be that cold person who keeps everyone at arm's length.

But today when she met you,

she completely changed.

How did she change?

You're the first man who made my aunt blush.

You're the first man who made her sing nursery rhymes.

You're the first man she ever invited to dinner.

You're even the first one

who put her in her place and she didn't dare fight back.

In short,

you're the first man who melted her cold heart.

How things have changed.

You're the first man who made my aunt blush.

You're the first man who made her sing nursery rhymes.

You're the first man she ever invited to dinner.

You're even the first one

who could scold her and she wouldn't fight back.

In short,

you're the first man who melted her cold heart.

You seem to care a lot about your aunt.

I grew up without a mother,

following my aunt around since childhood.

Watching my aunt grow up day by day,

with no prospect of lifelong happiness,

I've been so worried.

Until she met you.

The way you talk,

it's like you're her aunt instead.

I almost forgot.

Come,

unlock your phone and add me as a friend.

Wait,

what do you mean?

Look more.

Familiarity breeds affection.

Also.

I get it.

Let me find it.

I have some photos of my aunt sleeping that I took secretly.

Want to see her swimsuit photos?

I have those too.

My aunt has a great figure.

Stop.

Stop it.

If someone sees this, you won't be able to explain.

That's exactly the ambiguous feeling I want.

Then she won't be able to get married,

she'll end up with you,

wouldn't that work out perfectly?

No, no,

I don't have those feelings for her at all.

You don't even appreciate someone as excellent as my aunt.

Then,

perhaps you prefer my youthful, lively type?

That's not impossible.

If your aunt knew you were talking nonsense here,

you'd be eating standing up today too.

My aunt,

seems smart,

but is actually quite naive.

See, she deleted my video,

but I can still recover it from the trash.

So comfortable.

What are you talking about?

Sitting so close.

Nothing much,

just discussing some emotional topics.

Gu Qiaoqiao.

Don't hit the head.

Why did you come back alone?

Where is Master Xuanhuo?

To be honest,

Xuanhuo has been eliminated by Ye Bufan.

I need your help.

If both masters couldn't handle him,

what can I possibly do?

However,

I've thoroughly investigated this person recently.

I think

we can use his mother as our breakthrough point.

I went through so much trouble bringing my child to Maiqing for treatment,

and what happened?

You didn't help at all,

and instead made my son and me terrified.

Look at him,

just thinking about that Bao guy from earlier

makes my hands shake.

Well, when Xiaofan returns,

he can examine you again.

Haven't we suffered enough because of him?

He's the one who caused all this.

Exactly.

You wouldn't want us to go back

and tell all our relatives about what your son did, would you?

So, in your opinion,

how should we resolve this?

Sister,

we're all family here,

and you've done well for yourself.

Just give us something to make it right.

Here's 10,000 yuan.

Please count it.

This little money?

Are you giving alms to beggars?

What's this supposed to cover?

What injuries did you and Xiaojun actually suffer?

Why not get a thorough examination at the hospital?

What examination?

Everyone knows Dr. Cao is close with your son.

One word from him,

and we won't be able to get a proper injury assessment.

That's right.

We're family,

and now things have come to this.

How can you be so heartless?

If we don't resolve this today,

don't bother coming back home to visit our parents' graves.

Then tell me,

how much compensation will it take?

At least 300,000 yuan, I'd say.

300,000?

That's way too much.

300,000 is too much?

Look at your hotel here.

It must be worth millions.

300,000 yuan

is actually a low estimate.

And for me,

my injuries are the most severe.

I need 400,000 yuan,

not a penny less.

This...

how can you ask for so much?

Oh my!

Why am I so unfortunate?

Mom and Dad,

my sister got rich and abandoned me,

and even had people beat my son and me severely.

Auntie, I'm sorry!

Please stop hitting me!

I can't even sit down to eat anymore.

Gu Qiaoqiao,

you have no respect for your elders.

It's my fault for not raising you properly.

Today I'll stand and eat with you.

Can we serve the food now?

Hahaha.

Okay.

I've learned Miss Gu's health method.

I'll eat standing up today too. Good for digestion.

Serve the food.

I'll give it to you.

This is what you promised.

We're not forcing you.

Remember.

Tomorrow you need to give us 700,000.

Xiaohui.

We are sisters.

What matters is our bond.

No matter how much money.

That will never change.

After you get the money.

Don't bring up our parents again.

As long as you pay.

I'll do whatever you say.

Well, you two can rest in my room.

I'll go downstairs first.

If you need anything, you can find me or Yuting.

Go ahead.

Master Xuanying.

I've brought the people.

They're all ruthless characters.

How should I address you two?

So you're from Qingyun Sect.

Did you know Xuanji is dead?

Yes, I know.

If you want to join Xuanji.

I can arrange that.

No matter how famous you are in Maiqing.

If you want to speak ill of Qingyun Sect.

You'd better consider how many lives you have.

No, no, we wouldn't dare.

You tell them.

Please stand up.

This job is to capture this woman.

Her name is Ouyang Lan.

She's not a martial artist.

Should be quite easy for you two.

Don't stare.

Master Xuanying is a great master.

He can't act directly.

That's why he needs your help.

I hope.

You won't disappoint the master.

We'll definitely do a good job.

Recently her son took my property.

She might change her appearance.

Just remember her face.

Here's some information about her.

Her son is very powerful.

Try not to confront him.

After the job is done.

Make her son take this medicine.

Understand?

Yes.

I'll make it easier for you.

I'll create some trouble for him.

She has such nice clothes but doesn't wear them.

Instead she dresses in rags.

Pretending to be poor in front of us.

Mom, oh my god!

Look at this.

These imported wines.

Each bottle costs at least 10,000.

When we get the 700,000 tomorrow.

We can be as extravagant as her.

What kind of sister is she?

So stingy with me.

But spends so lavishly on herself.

Talking about bonds? That's ridiculous.

Hahaha!

Mom, you shouldn't say that.

I think.

We can be a bit bolder.

Some sister she is.

So stingy with me

But so willing to spend on herself.

And talks about family bonds.

It's ridiculous.

Mom, you shouldn't say that.

I think we can be bolder.

This hotel's management is terrible.

Security patrols leave blind spots everywhere.

It's not even challenging.

Hey

Boss.

Let's work.

Mom, if you ask me

Ten Ouyang Lans can't compare to your beauty.

Giving her these clothes is such a waste.

What a shame

These clothes

Have to be returned tomorrow.

Mom

Just taking a few clothes is letting them off too easy.

Let's use some tricks

This restaurant will be ours.

Heh heh heh.

But she is still my sister.

You'd better find someone else.

A generation apart makes the connection more distant.

Alright.

I'll arrange people right away.

After this succeeds, we'll be rich.

What happened?

I thought this Ye person was so professional

But I took him down with one move.

Behave yourself

Or your son won't survive.

Apologize.

It's too late to apologize now.

Stay still

Or I'll finish both of you.

Comparing makes one furious.

Look at the quality of these clothes

Even better than in the photos.

Stop talking.

Get to work.

Why has my negative energy been cleared again?

It must be your arrangement working, Master.

Perhaps we'll receive good news soon.

I feel like

We might have missed something.

Boss

The target is out.

Master, don't worry.

The matter has been taken care of.

Don't be nervous, you two.

As long as you cooperate,

we won't harm you.

But if you don't behave,

don't blame us

if you don't live to see tomorrow.

What are you two fidgeting for?

Stay still.

Damn, this mountain path is too difficult.

Why did our client pick such a godforsaken place?

If you've got a problem, take it up with the boss.

Less talk. Get to work.

Stop! Stop the car!

He's probably beyond saving.

What do we do now?

For this job, we only need to kidnap the old woman.

Whether her son lives or dies doesn't matter.

Let's go. Stop looking.

I wonder if this kid will meet some wise master down the mountain,

learn some secret martial arts,

and come back for revenge in ten years.

I told you to watch less kung fu movies.

Your brain's gone soft.

Shut up.

Let's go.

Get ready to leave.

Check if we've left anything behind.

Brother Ye, please think it over carefully.

Don't ruin my aunt's life.

What are you talking about?

Hello? Who is this?

Ye Bufan,

I have your mother.

If you don't arrive at the address I'm sending you within half an hour,

your mother's safety will be in serious jeopardy.

Something urgent came up.

I have to go.

It's alright, auntie.

This man is clearly trouble.

It won't work out this time.

I'll find someone else for you.

What nonsense are you talking?

I'm just worried about him.

Oh, worried about him?

He has helped us after all.

It's normal to be concerned.

Yes, very normal.

So what are you waiting for?

Let's go together.

Sit properly.

Don't move around.

Let's go after them.

Didn't you say there were two people?

Why is there only one left?

Her son wouldn't cooperate,

so we got rid of him.

He's been eliminated.

You guys? Please.

What are you laughing at?

What's so funny?

You're alone too, aren't you?

Where's Mr. Luo?

Shut up.

Quiet.

Alright, now let's discuss terms.

No way.

We need to find a way to save her.

Wait a moment.

I think you've kidnapped the wrong person.

Wrong person?

Are you blind?

We kidnapped her based on the photo.

How could we get it wrong?

Look at her.

What's different?

You think I wouldn't recognize my own mother?

My son! My dear son!

What excuses do you have now?

I think she might have meant something else.

I don't even know her.

Stop beating around the bush.

Don't make me get serious.

No.

What does this have to do with whether I believe you?

This really isn't my mother.

Please let her go.

Are these the kidnappers?

There aren't many of them.

We're here to rescue someone.

Not to play around.

Shh. Don't be impulsive.

I sense a strange aura nearby.

Mr. Ye should be able to sense it too.

No.

What does it matter whether you believe it or not?

This really isn't my mother.

Are these the kidnappers?

There aren't many of them.

We're here to save someone.

Not to play around.

Shh.

Don't be impulsive.

I feel.

There's a strange aura nearby.

Mr. Ye.

He should be able to feel it too.

Fine, fine.

What are your demands? Let's hear them.

It's simple.

Just hand over the Demon Refining Flask.

Don't come closer.

I've been warned.

You're full of tricks.

Drink this medicine before you approach.

If I don't come over.

How can I take the medicine?

I'll throw it to you.

If you don't catch it.

I'll have my brother break her other hand.

What's wrong with you?

Just do as he says.

What if he arranges for you to marry him?

Haven't you been beaten enough today?

Good evening.

Ye family boy.

Still as despicable as ever.

Not even sparing those who work for you.

The two energies of Xuan and Sha.

Are two sides of the same coin.

But Xuan energy requires martial arts training to control.

While Sha energy can be injected to control others' behavior.

Our Qingyun Sect's way of handling things.

Has always been about results.

Not the process.

Hand over the Demon Refining Flask.

Or she will surely die.

You went through all this trouble.

Just for this flask.

Quickly hand over the flask.

Impossible.

How can you still fight after drinking the energy-dispersing liquid?

This was already empty when he gave it to me.

Not good.

What a pity.

This was originally prepared for you.

After all, accumulating this kind of negative energy.

Takes a lot of effort.

As expected of someone from a prestigious family.

This body is so well maintained.

I'm suddenly curious.

What's your relationship with this woman?

Now I have control over her.

Do you have the heart to harm such a delicate flower?

Your Qingyun Sect

certainly has many tricks up its sleeve.

What will you do now?

You're caught in a dilemma.

If I were you,

I'd be completely helpless.

Don't be rash.

I'm not Xuanhuo.

How could I be impulsive?

It's just that

although Xuanhuo is impulsive,

he is still my elder brother.

With him around,

things are much easier for me.

Why don't you join our Qingyun Sect

to replace Xuanhuo?

Qingyun Sect?

With your kind of character,

I respectfully decline.

Your mother

is in my hands.

You actually believed what those two said?

Keep acting tough.

You...

You're asking for death!

Let go!

Auntie!

Damn it! Damn it all!

You're the one who should die!

You scum!

Ye, I'll make you wish you were dead!

Let's die together!

The energy is about to explode! Get close to me!

Save me!

Save me!

Quick! Come here!

What exactly happened?

Those three villains

exploded.

Brother Ye protected us.

This is a huge loss.

I never expected

such extreme measures.

Are you okay?

I'm afraid

my time is running out.

We really lost big this time.

I didn't expect

things to be so extreme.

Are you alright?

I'm afraid

my time is running out.

No, you can't!

Ye Bufan,

you can't do this.

You've learned martial arts techniques.

Could you

transfer some

mystical energy to me?

Qiaoqiao,

what are you doing?

The photos have been uploaded to the cloud.

Even if you smash my phone, I still have backups.

At a time like this,

you still have time for this?

That depends on how long Brother Ye keeps pretending.

What do you mean?

My injuries are quite serious.

I need mystical energy treatment.

I just didn't expect you would use this.

Don't you know this is the most efficient way to transfer energy?

I blocked that explosion for you.

Just wanted a little reward.

Who knew.

I'm sorry.

To save me,

your mother was harmed.

Oh, no.

That wasn't my mother.

Ah!

Let's call the police first.

I'll explain the details to you later.

You go meet with the captain first.

I'll join you after examining the crime scene.

Boss, hurry up then.

You've got

quite some skills.

I'm just doing my duty,

protecting the good as a friend of justice.

I'm on duty.

Don't try to get familiar with me.

This involves the Qingyun Sect.

Be careful when handling this case.

Well, well,

if it isn't Miss Gu.

What a coincidence.

He Shuangshuang.

Hmph.

What's your relationship with Ye Bufan?

Like an aunt and uncle.

Haven't you had enough beating today?

It's swollen.

Keep an eye on her for me.

Don't let her come over and cause trouble.

What's your relationship with Ye Bufan?

We're friends.

How long have you known each other?

Today?

No,

we just met yesterday.

How did you meet Ye Bufan?

Is it relevant to this case?

I'm investigating a case here.

Please cooperate.

I am cooperating.

It's just that your question is too personal.

I don't think it's relevant to the case.

And you've been clearly targeting me from the start.

I think you're abusing your power.

Everyone at the scene needs to be questioned.

I'm just following procedure.

If you don't want to talk now,

we can continue this conversation at the station.

We have plenty of time.

No problem.

Our Gu family happens to have a few lawyers who aren't very busy lately.

Why make things so complicated?

Why don't you two just fight it out?

Stop it.

The moment I take my eyes off you,

you start causing trouble.

I'm on duty now.

I can't break the rules,

so I'll let you off for now.

That's interesting.

I've never lost to you in a fight.

I don't know where your confidence comes from.

Are you saying this for Xiaofan's benefit?

Hello?

Is this Yuting?

Is my mother okay?

Why isn't she answering her phone?

Mr. Ye,

your mother is fine.

I'm comforting her now.

Good.

I'll come back when I'm done here.

Thank you for your help.

What's going on with you two?

Hmph.

Someone's here.

A murder happened right after meeting you.

I think we need to investigate thoroughly.

Someone's trying to use their position to bully others.

I conduct myself with integrity,

but I can't stand these baseless accusations.

Stop it.

She's here to investigate.

She's very busy.

How's the situation?

Report:

Scene evidence collection and sampling completed.

We can wrap up now.

Alright.

You all head back.

Just leave me a car.

Yes, Captain.

I'm off duty now.

Let's spar.

With pleasure.

Why are you stirring up trouble?

If they want to fight, why are you hitting my head?

Are you okay?

Oh no.

My phone.

I'm sorry.

I'll take you to pick a new one tomorrow.

I broke it with my kick. You don't need to pay for it.

Anyway,

see you tomorrow.

Hmph.

Fine.

Let's see whose new phone he'll accept in the end.

Can I buy it myself?

No.

Mom,

are you okay?

Son,

Officer Wang just came by and explained everything to me.

Tell me,

if I hadn't let them stay in our house,

would this have happened?

Mom,

if they hadn't insisted on bullying us,

demanding to wear your clothes,

this wouldn't have happened.

I just wish I could have saved her.

Don't be sad.

Try to accept what happened.

Your aunt was actually a kind person.

After all, they did help our family before.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

Take care,

and get some rest tonight.

Officer Wang told me

you were in great danger too.

Please take care of yourself.

Mom,

I'll be careful.

I heard there were two girls helping you at the scene.

Mom,

I'm tired. I'm going to rest now.

You should sleep early too.

It's hard to stay at home,

but this chaos outside is no place for anyone either.

You think your driving skills can compare to mine trained at the police department?

Hmph.

We're not chasing criminals,

what's the use of police-trained driving skills?

My minivan is much more comfortable.

My uncle won't ride in your car.

You've only known him for a few days.

Where do you get your confidence?

He saved my aunt,

risking his own life.

So what if he saved you?

He's saved many people.

See? He won't ride in your car.

Didn't you see his expression?

He was obviously uncomfortable.

You two talk.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Hmph,

give up. Everyone says your skills aren't good enough.

That's just your opinion.

You'd still lose in a driving competition.

See you at the phone mall.

We'll see about that.

Today, let's set some ground rules.

First, I'll choose my own phone.

Second, no arguing or bickering.

Third, no matter what issues you two ladies have,

whatever your conflicts are,

no fighting.

You're the main character, we'll do as you say.

Xiaofan, you're the boss.

We'll listen to uncle.

Today, let's set some ground rules first.

First, I choose my own phone.

Second, no arguing or bickering.

Third, no matter what issues you two ladies have

between yourselves,

no fighting allowed.

You're the main man, we'll do as you say.

Xiaofan, it's your call.

Let's listen to Uncle.

Glaring is permitted.

Hello.

This Lingtu phone is quite good.

It has encryption features

and a satellite positioning system.

You can make calls from anywhere.

If you like it,

I'll buy it for you.

No need. It's just a communication tool.

I think it's not that you don't need it,

you just can't afford it.

Huang Xiaoli,

what are you doing here?

Thanks to you,

I haven't dared to go out lately.

So I'm just focusing on finding true love.

Xiaoli,

are these all your friends?

Introduce them to me.

Oh please,

you just want to be friends with Ye Bufan.

I can't even be bothered to expose you.

Sorry,

we're not interested in being friends with you.

What do you mean?

Take a look in the mirror.

Is this a place for someone like you?

You must be blind coming here.

Does he look like someone who can afford to buy you this kind of phone?

Xiaoli,

which one do you like here?

Take your pick.

Oh,

thank you, Brother Dafu.

I knew you were the best.

I like that pink one.

You...

Forget it.

No need to argue with people like this.

You, Ye Bufan?

Even if you wanted to argue, what could you do?

That night,

Yuting and Han Shuai went to Ma Jiu's private room to save you.

But you just ran away first.

Even a dog has more courage than you.

I call it staying out of trouble.

I remember now.

So you've stood up for your friends before.

That's commendable.

How may I help you?

Which is your best phone model?

This is Lingtu's latest model this year.

The price is a bit high.

35,800.

But once you see the specs,

you'll know it's worth every penny.

It comes with...

I'll take this one.

Please prepare the receipt.

Ye Bufan,

you really have no shame.

You flatter me.

When it comes to shamelessness,

you're the expert.

You've chosen someone handsome and dashing.

I can't compare.

Miss,

would you like one?

Which phone do you like?

I can get it for you too.

Darling,

buying me a phone?

You're not qualified.

Has my custom phone arrived?

I'm sorry.

I'm new here.

May I ask your name?

In this store,

there should be only one black card member who's spent over 3 million.

That's me,

Gu Qingcheng.

Miss Gu,

I apologize.

Here is your custom phone.

If you're satisfied, Miss Gu,

please settle the remaining balance of 200,000.

Hmph.

Such an act.

This phone is worth over 200,000?

Ye Bufan,

where did you find these great actors?

They're wasting their talents not being in movies.

A summer insect cannot discuss ice.

Excuse me,

there was a deposit of 158,000 for this phone.

The total price is 358,000.

358,000 for this?

Are you trying to fool me?

Allow me to explain briefly.

Miss Gu's custom phone

was created by eight top international designers.

The body is made of polycarbonate,

titanium alloy and platinum in one piece.

The entire screen is hand-polished from natural gemstones.

Darling, can you order one for me too?

I'll do anything you want.

Look at yourself.

Do you deserve a phone like this?

This phone

will be my apology gift to you, Xiaofan.

Wait.

I was the one who kicked and broke his phone yesterday.

If anyone should replace it, it's me.

Besides, what Xiaofan really needs now

is a durable, drop-resistant phone.

This artistic phone of yours

would be a problem if broken.

But I think

he deserves the best.

Stop arguing.

I think that's enough.

Miss He.

Look.

The person concerned doesn't even mind.

Stop talking nonsense.

Miss Gu.

Why don't

we talk privately over there?

Let's set some ground rules. No physical fighting.

You taught me.

I wouldn't lose in a fight anyway.

I'll go help Auntie.

You watch that so-called Piano Prince dozens of times every day.

Now look what happened.

Your phone is completely fried.

Xiaomo, don't be silly.

I can introduce you to some guys

who are definitely better than your Piano Prince.

Until I find that Piano Prince,

I won't have peace of mind.

Xiaofan.

Let's go.

Ignore her.

I'll go with you to fix your phone first.

How disappointing.

So you just want something for nothing.

Let it go. It's not easy for him to get an opportunity.

Heaven knows how hard it is to serve these two ladies.

Hahaha.

Young man,

getting something for nothing won't last long.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You have hands and feet.

You could be like me.

Work hard

and contribute to society.

Contributing to society is fine,

but I'll pass on being like you.

I don't want to look that pathetic.

What are you doing here?

I called you dozens of times but you didn't answer.

My phone broke.

That's why I'm buying a new one.

Oh.

You should have told me your phone broke.

I would have bought you one.

My phone was broken.

I couldn't tell you.

Don't change the subject.

How dare you speak to my darling like that?

Apologize to him,

or I'll make sure you can't survive in Maiqing.

Darling, teach him a lesson.

How's business, Mr. Zhao?

Thanks to President Qin's support,

it's going well.

I think I just heard you say he gets something for nothing.

Let me clarify.

He definitely earns his keep.

He selected for our Qin Group

several hundred million worth of quality jade.

Misunderstanding.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Mr. Ye is quite talented.

I admire him very much.

You were disrespectful to my Xiaofan.

I think we can terminate our contract immediately.

I'll pay the penalty fee.

You clueless woman!

It's all because you can't recognize talent.

Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Ye,

or I'll make you regret it.

Qin Chuchu.

My grandfather says

our Miss Qin here

has been doing quite well for herself lately.

Truce.

Fine.

I failed to recognize your greatness.

Please be magnanimous and forgive me.

Get up. I don't care about this anyway.

Mr. Ye

Would you like these two phones packaged together?

Quite popular, aren't you?

So Miss Gu and Miss He are here.

This.

Since you have business to discuss here,

I'll visit CEO Qin's company another day.

Brother Zhao, you're too kind.

Let me drive you.

Xiaofan.

Aren't you going to introduce

These new friends of yours?

Oh.

Don't you all know each other?

This is He Shuangshuang,

We met during a case.

This is Gu Qingcheng,

And next to her is her niece Gu Qiaoqiao.

I met them both during another case.

Hello, long time no see.

Better not to see you at all.

Hello there.

Miss Qin, why are you here too?

It seems Qin Corporation

Is quite idle these days.

Miss He has incredible strength.

With my delicate skin,

I can't handle such rough treatment.

These two phones

Were given by you two to our Xiaofan?

What gives you the right to claim my uncle belongs to your family?

He hasn't even married you.

Young lady,

You shouldn't call just anyone 'uncle.'

When adults are talking,

Children shouldn't interrupt.

That phone worth 358,000 was my gift to Xiaofan

As compensation for breaking his phone.

Miss Gu is so generous.

Then on behalf of our Xiaofan, I thank you both.

Yesterday Xiaofan nearly lost his life saving me.

As compensation and gratitude,

This small gift is nothing.

Do you have other phones?

Can you show me?

Sorry.

I can't leave right now.

I suggest you first examine

These two phones I'm holding.

It seems Miss Gu and our Xiaofan

Have quite a thrilling story together.

I thank you on his behalf.

Miss Qin.

May I ask boldly,

Your Qin family's recent business

Seems to be reaching quite far.

Are you trying

To challenge the Gu family?

Miss Gu.

Our Qin Jade Company

has been selling well recently.

It's all thanks to Xiaofan.

And it's also boosting other business sectors.

It's just normal business operations.

By the way,

would you like to change your number?

No need to bother.

Hello, Mr. Zhao.

Hope I'm not disturbing you.

Do you remember the Qin Group

signed up for that lifetime plan with you?

Yes, the 300,000 yuan one.

Please set up these two numbers.

I'll send you the numbers.

Thank you for your help.

It's done.

I also got one for Mrs. Ouyang.

Phones are nice,

but they get outdated too quickly.

At least phone numbers can be used for life.

Don't you agree,

Miss Gu?

You can have two or three phone numbers,

but for everyday use,

I still think one phone is best.

You make a good point.

Xiaofan,

how many numbers do you want?

Why don't you choose?

One is enough.

Don't waste money.

What about these two phones?

Which one do you prefer?

Ye Bufan,

if you want the better one,

I'm fine with that.

I'll take this one.

I checked it out.

It's durable.

Pretty good.

See, I told you.

Xiaofan

wouldn't take your phone.

You're all bullying me.

This one is for my mom.

That's settled then.

You're the best!

My friend says you're a player.

I didn't believe it.

Look, these are all my friends.

If we keep making a scene,

it'll be hard to end gracefully.

Well,

we'll run into each other again.

Set as wallpaper.

I'll go check on my bestie.

Don't leave later.

I need to talk to you.

I want to be on the cover too.

Auntie, your turn.

Smile!

I want a photo too.

Hey,

aren't you going to ask for my opinion?

What's your opinion?

Isn't looking at beautiful women nice?

Are you done here?

It's urgent.

Let's go now.

If you need any help, remember to call me.

Auntie, let's go.

We're not playing with him anymore.

I'll find you later if needed.

Remember to come to the police station.

Auntie,

the competition is so fierce.

You must be under a lot of pressure.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I just like him, that's all.

Besides, he already has a girlfriend.

That's obviously fake.

Look.

Send him your swimsuit photos and artistic pictures.

Compare yourself with her. You're not inferior in any way.

Where did you get these photos?

Give me your phone.

I'll delete all of them.

I'm trying to help you.

Ah!

Don't hit my head!

What exactly do you want from me?

Something crucial to the survival of Qin Group.

Those three jade pieces of Fu, Lu, and Shou you gave me

have directly boosted our company's jade sales.

The sales of this product line

have already reached 500 million.

That's good news.

Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

Since the sales exceeded my expectations,

our company's jade raw stone reserves are insufficient.

So I was thinking...

You're eyeing those raw stones I stored in your warehouse.

What?

You only want me to help you in emergencies,

but when I'm in trouble,

can't you return the favor?

This is rather sudden.

Let me think about it.

The raw stones you bought that day

totaled 381 pieces.

I confirmed when I left yesterday,

not a single one was missing.

The way you're talking,

it seems someone has designs on these stones.

I can't hide anything from you.

Someone suggested I just deal with these stones directly

and simply reimburse you afterward.

I refused.

Considering how much trouble you've taken,

I'll sell you these stones for 300 million.

300 million?

I remember you only spent a little over 100 million buying them.

I guarantee you won't lose money on this deal.

Alright.

I trust you. I'll buy them.

Sister.

You're quite the businesswoman.

Grandfather, Cousin.

What brings you here?

I heard you were having business troubles,

so I brought Grandfather to see

if he could help assess the situation.

Who knew

we'd arrive at just the right moment

to catch you betraying the family.

Chuchu.

Please explain yourself.

Recently, our Qin Group

has seen booming sales of the Fu, Lu, Shou jade series,

resulting in a shortage of raw stones.

If we don't restock promptly,

it will damage Qin Group's reputation.

Spending 300 million on these raw stones may include a premium,

but for the group,

it's completely worth it.

Others might not know about these stones,

but I certainly do.

They all came from Heaven Club,

which is notorious for selling deceptive stones.

You're spending 300 million on stones worth only 100 million.

I'm guessing

that apart from trying to please this brat,

you have no other reason, do you?

Is that true,

Chuchu?

These raw stones are indeed worth 100 million originally.

But they were all carefully selected by Xiaofan.

Once purchased and cut open,

they'll definitely be worth more than 300 million.

If he says it's worth more than 300 million, then it is.

You're completely lovesick, aren't you?

These raw stones truly cost 100 million originally,

but they were all carefully selected by Xiaofan.

Once cut open,

they'll be worth over 300 million for sure.

Just because he says it's worth over 300 million?

You must be blinded by love.

Xiaofan has excellent judgment.

His knowledge of jade is unmatched in Maiqing.

Luo Wentao gambled with him on jade stones

and lost three times in a row.

I heard

before this guy went to Luo Wentao's Paradise Club,

he was completely broke.

Are you so certain

that he's not conspiring with Luo Wentao to deceive you?

Excuse me,

Mr. Ye,

have you studied in this field?

The goods you purchased,

were they approved by the board?

Grandfather.

Those three Fu Lu Shou jade pieces were cut by Xiaofan.

Our jade sales have been booming.

We've already sold 500 million worth.

Both emotionally and logically,

I trust him.

Come.

Chuchu,

say that again into my phone.

Are you really doing this for the Qin Group?

Cousin.

I've already committed to these raw stones.

If we profit, it belongs to the company.

If we lose, it's on me.

On you?

Easy for you to say.

Without the Qin Group,

where would you get hundreds of millions to throw away?

Business is about mutual agreement.

Since you think something's fishy,

I won't sell these stones anymore.

You think you can just walk away by saying you won't sell?

You're suspected of colluding with Qin Group insiders

to hollow out the company's assets.

I'm calling the police.

Hello, police station?

Please come to the Qin Group warehouse.

Yes, right now.

It's a major case.

Qin Guowei.

You.

Chuchu.

What do you think is most important

as the leader of the Qin Group?

It's judgment.

You'd rather break the rules to trust this gentleman.

You must have your reasons.

However,

at the same time,

you must also bear the corresponding responsibility.

Do you still dare say you trust him now?

Yes,

I believe in Xiaofan.

Good.

No matter how this turns out,

I've noticed your determination.

Hello, Mr. Qin.

Just a small family matter

that's embarrassing Officer Wang.

Dr. Ye,

what are you doing here?

These raw stones I've selected

are worth at least 1 billion yuan.

I offered to sell them for 300 million,

but they accused me of being a fraud.

These worthless rocks worth a billion?

Let's verify them right here

and see who's right.

Xiaofan,

if these stones turn out to be valuable,

please sell them all to our family.

Mr. Ye,

Qin Group always follows proper procedures

and I hope you understand that.

I understand following procedures.

But this Mr. Qin here

only wants to pay 1 million

and wants to send me to jail.

In this situation,

how should I interpret that?

Mr. Ye, I was just negotiating the price.

If you can't even handle that,

why are you in the jade business?

How about this:

I'll buy your stones at 20% above market price.

Consider it our apology.

Good.

Please cut the stone, master.

Could you give us an estimate?

This ice-type imperial green jade

has pure internal quality

with no flaws or cracks on the surface.

Estimated value is about 20 million.

Guowei,

do you have any objections?

I...

I...

have no objections.

These jade stones are worth over 1 billion.

Mr. Ye,

I spoke in anger earlier.

Please don't hold it against me.

Please sell these jade stones

to Qin Group at the original price.

Your earlier promise

was witnessed by Officer Wang.

Officer Wang,

words alone aren't proof.

Shameless!

Calm down, sir. Take it easy.

The old ginger is indeed spicier.

This act looks so real.

We Qin family members

always keep our word.

Who gave you the right to speak for me

and make me break my promise?

Grandfather, I was wrong to interrupt you.

But this Ye Bufan...

he...

What about him?

Look at these jade stones.

Has Mr. Ye misjudged even one piece?

A person with such exceptional talent,

and instead of building a good relationship,

you tried to take advantage of him.

Mr. Ye,

I was wrong about this.

I apologize.

Mr. Ye,

sorry for the trouble.

You're too kind, Mr. Qin.

I value these jade stones at 1.2 billion.

I'll settle with you at a 20% premium.

Just give me 1.2 billion.

Consider the rest as a welcome gift for you.

Mr. Ye is so generous.

Hurry up and thank Mr. Ye.

Thank you, Mr. Ye.

No.

I should be thanking you, Mr. Qin.

I was planning to sell these jade stones for 300 million.

But you insisted on interrupting.

Giving me nearly 1 billion more.

Thank you.

Grandfather.

Although jade sales have been booming lately.

Our group has made many investments.

We're a bit short on liquid funds.

Only about 500 million.

Mr. Ye.

What if...

We give you 500 million first.

And use two properties as collateral for the rest?

That won't be necessary.

Just transfer the money when you have it.

With Chuchu here.

It's fine.

Dr. Ye.

If there's nothing else, I'll be going now.

Thank you for your trouble today.

I'll treat you next time.

As for the follow-up.

Chuchu will be your contact.

Let's go.

No sense of timing.

I feel like I've swindled your family out of billions.

Yet you seem quite happy about it.

I have to thank you this time.

You helped me get revenge.

My cousin and I don't get along.

He's always wanted to kick me off the board.

However.

I think he'll behave himself for a while now.

Just to spite him.

I don't mind taking advantage of the Qin family.

Getting these raw stones for 300 million would've been ideal.

But business is business.

Building a good relationship with you is what matters most to me.

You seem much more decisive than your cousin.

What makes me happiest is.

That you've gained my grandfather's approval.

Which means our mutual affection.

Has been approved by both our families.

Well.

I feel like.

Things are moving a bit fast.

Hmph.

If we don't move quickly, someone might snatch you away.

Take out your phone.

The He family has good taste.

This phone is indeed suitable for outdoor adventures.

I suppose.

The phone from the Gu family can't be too bad either.

What do you mean?

What else could I mean?

Let's see whose selfies look better, theirs or mine.

Have you decided?

Do you want to change to another photo?

This...

I wasn't this nervous even when dealing with those three old Taoists.

What else could it mean?

Just comparing whose selfies look better, theirs or mine.

Have you decided yet?

Do you want to change to another one?

Well...

I wasn't even this nervous dealing with those three Taoist masters.

What do you mean?

Right now, Maiqing City is plagued with evil energy,

dangers lurking everywhere.

Hmm.

All I can think about now is how to eliminate this evil energy.

I have no interest in romance at all.

Really?

Two such beautiful women,

and you're not attracted at all?

Not at all so far.

I can continue pretending to be your girlfriend

to keep those admirers away from you.

I can wait for you.

No need to rush things.

I believe you

will eventually make the right choice.

I hope I am that right choice.

But if one day,

you tell me I'm not,

I can accept that too.

Because that would be your right choice.

How can people be so different from each other?

What?

Has someone else confessed to you like this?

No, no.

I mean,

those ungrateful relatives from my hometown.

Achoo!

The most urgent matter now

is to ensure Ouyang Hui and her son didn't die in vain.

We must squeeze the truth out of Ouyang Lan no matter what.

We can't rush this.

Doesn't Ouyang Lan want to come back to pay respects to her parents?

Let's set a trap for her.

What kind of people are these?

If I had relatives like that,

I would've cut ties with them generations ago.

After all, they're blood relatives.

No matter how unreasonable their demands, my mom would fulfill them.

Let's not talk about these messy, annoying things anymore.

Tonight's my treat.

Let's go to Maiqing Grand Restaurant with your mother.

Okay.

Then let's go pick up my mom together.

Mm-hmm.

We have such a big restaurant at home,

with every dish available.

Why must we eat out?

Well,

change of environment,

change of mood.

Your son recently helped our group with a big business deal.

I should treat you to a nice meal.

Good.

See how thoughtful Chuchu is.

Mr. Qian, your business is really booming.

You haven't been in touch with me lately.

Not at all.

My business is thriving,

all thanks to you, Brother Bi.

Here's your share of the profits for this period.

No,

don't be so formal.

I'm here because I have a deal to discuss with you.

What kind of deal?

Some idiot has offended me.

He even came to your restaurant today.

Help me teach him a lesson.

If you handle this well,

I'll get you an apartment.

It's just roughing someone up.

No big deal.

Leave it to me.

If he shows up today, it's his bad luck.

Good.

I've sent you his photo.

If you handle this well,

I'll give your restaurant a featured spot on my website.

Your restaurant will be a hit.

Count on me.

Mom.

This is a phone my friend gave you.

It's better than your old one.

The craftsmanship is really nice.

Is this friend of yours a man or a woman?

Her name is Gu Qingcheng.

She's a woman.

You should return the phone to her.

How can you accept a phone from a girl?

Mom,

don't overthink this.

I saved her life.

It's normal for her to repay me.

Besides, this phone is custom-made.

It can't be returned.

That won't do.

What will Chuchu think about this?

I'd rather not change phones

than make Chuchu upset.

Auntie, I know about the phone gift.

This is Xiaofan's way of showing appreciation.

Please accept it.

Well then, I'll keep it.

Auntie, please use it without worry.

Although someone else bought the phone,

I've already loaded it with credit for you.

Xiaofan earned this phone for you.

You should enjoy his blessing.

Chuchu.

You're so beautiful

and so sensible.

When can we arrange to meet your parents?

Get to know each other.

It's too early.

Mom,

let me install the SIM card for you.

Xiaofan has things to do.

This isn't urgent.

I'm going outside to take a call.

Hey there.

You must be pretty important,

taking so long to answer.

Sorry,

the signal was bad inside.

What's up?

What do you think?

Ouyang Hui and her child are both dead.

You need to give me an explanation.

Xiaohui had an accident at my place.

I'm willing to take responsibility.

I'll cover all her funeral expenses.

Alright, sister.

Just a quick chat.

Once Xiaohui's funeral is over,

you're planning to let this matter go.

You've got it all figured out, haven't you?

Well,

what do you think we should do?

About this matter,

my opinion alone doesn't count.

For Xiaohui and her son's funeral,

you'll have to come back anyway.

Let's discuss it when you return.

You want me to go back.

Something came up.

We'll talk later.

Are you okay?

Watch where you're going!

Are your eyes just for decoration?

Didn't you see someone standing here?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I was on the phone and wasn't paying attention.

Don't worry, I'll definitely pay for the damage.

Let me see.

These glasses must cost several dozen yuan, right?

How about I pay you 100 yuan?

100 yuan?

Do you think I'm a beggar?

These glasses at our Maiqing Grand Restaurant are all works of art.

They're all handcrafted by Master Alphonse.

10,000 yuan each.

What?

Where did you find this employee?

He's quite talented at acting.

If this works out,

I might even bring him over to be a host at our place.

As long as you're interested, Brother Bi,

you can take any of my staff.

This woman is Ye Bufan's mother.

Given her son's personality of never taking a loss,

he'll definitely go after this waiter.

This way,

we can use

'Billionaire Abuses Power: What's Behind the Restaurant Tantrum' as our headline.

Let him get some real publicity.

Hmm.

Brother Bi, you're so eloquent.

A true intellectual.

Brother Bi, what if he doesn't attack?

If he doesn't?

Hmph.

There are other ways to play this game.

You know my methods.

Hahaha!

Ma'am, I'm begging you.

It's not easy for me to make money as a worker.

If you don't pay,

my boss will kill me.

Get up first.

What's going on here?

Why aren't you paying for what you broke?

Look at this waiter,

how pitiful.

The cost of a few glasses,

just pay for them and be done with it.

No, no, that's not it.

He's asking for an outrageous amount.

Outrageous?

Grab her first!

Don't let her get away!

Look at this waitress

how pitiful she is.

It's just a few glasses

just pay for them and be done with it.

No, no, that's not it.

He's asking for too much.

Ridiculous.

Catch her first

don't let her get away.

Stop right there!

Mom

what's going on?

It's just a few glasses.

It is indeed a small matter.

How about this

let's check the security footage.

We'll determine responsibility fairly.

And pay whatever compensation is due.

Our security cameras are broken.

She knew our cameras were broken

that's why she came here to cause trouble.

The cameras are broken?

How would my mom know that?

Even if she did know

what would she gain from it?

Mom

you said earlier, how much are they asking for these glasses?

10,000 each.

What?

10,000 for this glass?

Isn't that a rip-off?

Everyone

I didn't set this price

I'm just an employee.

If she doesn't pay

my boss will kill me.

Let me help you all the way

let's call the police.

That'll solve your boss problem.

No, we can't call the police.

Young Master Ye

you're quite clever, aren't you?

Everyone knows you and Officer He are in cahoots.

Last time my friend Ma Wenbo

got in trouble because of you

he called the police

but ended up in jail himself

while you got away scot-free.

I think I've heard about that.

About today's incident

I'll take the blame, okay?

Name your price

I'll pay whatever you ask.

This is going too far.

Since the owner is being so generous

I'll just make a small request.

I'd like to invite some friends for a meal

and we'll call it even.

Of course

I'll prepare plenty of gifts

and welcome your friends with open arms.

Blind fool.

You dare mess with this troublemaker?

How many heads do you have?

This shop is ruined.

It's all your fault.

Boss will pay.

Alright. This way, please.

Hey.

Brother Tang.

I need a favor.

Okay.

This matter needs to be escalated.

I need to settle this once and for all.

Hello.

It's me.

Xiao Bi.

I need your urgent help.

I called you here

to help Dr. Ye with a small favor.

I'll owe you all a favor for this.

Dr. Ye's business

is my business.

Hmm.

What's going on here?

I heard Ma Jiu was taught a lesson.

Why would someone like him need our help?

Helping him is an opportunity for you.

A chance to impress Dr. Ye.

It's up to you to seize it or not.

Let's go.

You've made the calls.

When will your people arrive?

At least half an hour.

Why? In a hurry?

Not really.

But do you realize

that calling people here

won't solve your problem,

but will harm them instead?

Perhaps after this,

you won't even be friends anymore.

If I'm not mistaken,

you bowed to me earlier

to spread word that I'm arrogant,

and then use that as grounds to blackmail me.

Mr. Ye catches on quickly.

In that case, let's not trouble everyone.

Hand over your three apartments in Taoyuan Complex,

and we'll let this matter go.

My attitude has always been:

What's yours,

I won't short you a penny.

What's not yours,

reach for it and I'll strike.

Hahaha!

Mr. Ye really won't admit defeat until he sees his coffin.

Likewise.

Stop laughing.

If you've got the guts, call all your people.

It's been so long already.

Alright.

Stop crowding.

Everyone go find a seat outside.

Order some water

and give Mr. Qian some business.

Master Tang.

Master Jiu.

Master Li.

Master Liu.

Well, well.

What brings you gentlemen here today?

Dr. Ye, please tell us how we can help.

It's nothing major.

I just need you to appreciate a treasure.

Here.

Take a look at the artistic cups Mr. Qian bought.

10,000 each.

Mr. Qian, you're not giving me any business.

If you like them,

these cups are 5,000 each.

I'll bring you a truckload tomorrow.

Gentlemen, I was wrong.

Please forgive and spare me.

Get up, get up.

Okay.

Caught them all at once.

Bi Haiquan.

Isn't this Mr. Li?

Come on, try me.

Hmph.

Bad luck.

Mr. Ye, what kind of people have you invited?

You're associated with these people.

No wonder your property development is unlucky.

Bi,

stop showing off here.

I could deal with you right now if I wanted to.

Oh, I'm so scared.

Too bad you can only talk big.

If it really comes to blows,

you'll be the one who suffers.

Because I've invited that important person.

Ah!

Ah!

Dr. Ye.

This Gu person is very powerful.

I'll help you find a chance to leave first.

Maiqing is really small.

Miss Gu,

we meet again.

Ah!

Ah!

Hmph.

Quite a big scene here.

Not that impressive.

How could Bi possibly have invited you here?

Seems like you've completely forgotten about me.

If nothing had happened today,

I wouldn't have been able to come.

How could I?

This Bi has been bothering me for a long time,

asking me for cars and houses.

Today I wanted to see what he's really got.

Never expected it would be you.

Mom.

Your phone was given by Miss Gu here.

Thank you, Miss Gu.

From now on,

you have no connection with the Gu family.

Ah.

Xuanji,

Xuanhuo,

Xuanying,

three have already fallen in Maiqing City.

If it's hard to survive in big cities,

then we'll develop in Wufeng County instead.

Come back to Wufeng quickly.

Xiaohui's funeral can't be delayed.

Alright.

So it seems

our Gu family's reputation has been suffering lately

all because of this internet celebrity Brother Bi

who's been scamming people under the Gu family name.

According to Miss Gu

he swindled me out of a limited-edition sports car.

I lost over 500,000.

Mine isn't so bad.

It's mainly rent from several shops.

You all can settle accounts with this Bi fellow first.

If anything is unclear

the Gu family will cover it.

Miss Gu is generous

magnanimous

and elegant.

Wait

gentlemen

turn around.

Who said you could turn back?

If there's nothing else

I'll be going now.

Call me if you need anything.

Don't worry, Miss Gu.

I'll take care of Xiaofan.

You know what

this restaurant may be shady

but they keep their glasses quite clean.

Right.

Such excellent glass-cleaning technique

I should ask about it

so my staff can learn it too.

Thank you, Miss Qin.

If Xiaofan encounters any trivial matters in the future

I'll have to trouble you to help.

He and I have important things to do.

She helped us today.

Watch what you say.

You three seem to be enjoying the show.

Not at all.

Xiaofan

what are you doing?

My legs

they're back to normal!

My meridians are clear.

I can feel a stream of mystical energy

gathering in my chest.

You should be grateful.

Master Ye is clearing your meridians.

Master Ye

please

could you beat me up too?

Twenty years of hard training

is no match for Master Ye's single treatment.

From now on,

I, Bald Liu,

am at Master Ye's command.

will follow your every order.

Thank you all for coming today.

Talking about money seems too vulgar,

but I, Ye Bufan, have nothing else to offer

except to help fix your bones and muscles a bit.

You're too kind, Master Ye.

Doctor Ye,

could you look at my condition?

Could you give me one of your treatments?

With your wealth and prosperity,

and such good health,

my treatment wouldn't help you.

I recommend taking medicine instead,

to strengthen your foundation

and enhance your abilities.

This is a pill that can improve your strength.

Thank you, Doctor Ye.

Master Ye,

do you have more of these?

I'll buy them.

At a premium price.

Don't push your luck.

Why did you provoke him for no reason?

What are you thinking?

I just ate too much and came out for a walk.

I'm not with Gu Qingcheng.

I'll go back soon,

so my mom can stop discussing fertility tips with Tang Feng.

Bye.

Phew!

Finally escaped in time.

Pressuring me to marry...

It's too exhausting.

No,

that's not it.

Help! Help me!

I'm going to kill you!

What happened?

I didn't mean to.

It was an accident.

She killed my daughter!

What exactly happened?

Say no more.

I've already called the police.

A life for a life.

I'm a doctor.

Please lay the girl down flat first.

Let me take a look.

It's useless.

My daughter is already gone.

I'm the chief of Maiqing Police Station,

Wang Jianfeng.

What happened here?

She bought jelly for this little girl to eat,

and the girl choked to death.

Chief,

she approached my daughter with bad intentions.

I want her to pay with her life!

Jianfeng,

Wenqi.

What's your relationship?

This lady is my wife,

but don't worry,

I'm on duty now

and will enforce the law impartially.

Honey,

I just

thought that little girl was cute.

Wenqi,

calm down.

Let's get the facts straight first.

What are you doing?

Let go of my daughter!

Let go of my daughter!

Get out of the way.

You heartless creature.

Ma'am,

I understand you're very anxious right now,

but this young man appears to be

performing the Heimlich maneuver to save your daughter.

Don't interfere with him.

Your daughter might still have a chance.

This is bad.

This jelly is stuck in a difficult spot.

I need to use other methods

to get it out.

Let me go!

You're risking her life!

Move aside!

Get out of the way!

Young man,

what's the situation now?

Can you save her?

If no one interrupts,

no problem.

Let her bite.

She's just panicking out of concern.

As long as there's a glimmer of hope,

we must do everything possible

to save this child.

What are you doing?

Look.

Oh my...

Ah!

How is this possible?

The foreign object is removed.

Now I need to activate her body's functions

to restore her breathing.

This young man has extraordinary skills.

Give him more time.

It's done.

Young man,

we owe you so much today.

If it weren't for you,

the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thank you, miracle doctor.

I was just panicking earlier

and almost caused a disaster.

A doctor's heart is compassionate.

It's my duty.

Young man,

thank you so much for today.

If it weren't for you,

the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Thank you, miracle doctor.

I was just panicking earlier,

almost caused a disaster.

A doctor has a benevolent heart,

it's my duty.

Director Wang,

about what happened earlier...

Do you want to get that wound checked?

I'll pay for it.

It's just a small wound,

nothing serious.

Just need some ointment.

Auntie.

I want more jelly.

Eat, eat, eat. That's all you think about,

go eat yourself to death.

Young man,

I haven't asked your name yet.

My name is Ye Bufan.

How about

we treat you to a late-night snack?

Director Wang is a man of integrity,

I wish we had met sooner.

Let's go

and have a feast.

Chuchu has something to do,

so I'll let her go home first.

Didn't you eat enough?

Why do you still want to eat here?

Who are these two?

My name is Wang Jianfeng,

and this is my wife Tang Wenqi.

Today on the road,

Dr. Ye helped me tremendously.

I invited him for a late supper.

How could he possibly help?

You're too kind.

Please don't say that,

your son is truly amazing.

I saw an adorable little girl on the street

and gave her some jelly.

Who knew the jelly would get stuck in her throat?

If your son hadn't stepped in to help,

I'm afraid

my husband would have dragged me to the police station by now.

So you're blaming me?

How could I not blame you?

I just thought that little girl was cute.

After all these years,

I dream of having my own child every day,

but it never seems to happen.

When I see other people's children being so adorable.

I just can't resist.

Well...

Sorry for embarrassing you, young man.

It's fine.

How can it be fine?

Of all the unfilial acts

having no offspring is the worst.

Xiaofan.

You need to hurry up.

Chuchu is such a wonderful girl

sensible, proper, and beautiful.

You should seize this opportunity

and be responsible to her.

Sorry to embarrass you, Director Wang.

Dr. Ye.

I've discussed with my husband

we're so grateful for your help today.

This is just a small token of our appreciation

please accept it.

Saving lives is a doctor's duty.

Any doctor would have done their best in this situation.

I don't deserve any thanks.

Dr. Ye.

Please don't think it's too little.

We've spent years trying to have a child

and used up almost all our savings.

This really is just a small token

if you don't accept it

we'll feel terribly guilty.

I can't accept this.

Really, I can't.

Your medical skills are outstanding

and we need your help.

Consider this as a registration fee

please take it.

How about this?

I sincerely want to be friends with Director Wang.

You and your wife can tell me about your condition

if I can help

I'll accept this later.

Young man

I'm not afraid of being laughed at

over these years

my wife and I have tried everything to have our own child.

We've been to hundreds of hospitals

both domestic and foreign.

We've tried everywhere

but apart from spending more and more money

nothing has changed.

Director Wang, if you trust me

why not let me try?

Xiaofan

so many doctors couldn't cure them

don't make things worse for the Director.

It's fine, sister.

We've witnessed Dr. Ye's skills today

he truly deserves to be called a miracle doctor.

Our situation

we'll leave it in Dr. Ye's capable hands.

You and your wife come over here

let me examine you.

I've just carefully observed

that in your case

your bodies are invaded by negative energy

which current medical equipment can hardly detect.

Fortunately

once we use acupuncture to dispel this energy

your bodies can return to normal.

However, the acupuncture process is rather long

you both may need to endure it.

We've endured all these years

how could we not endure a little longer?

The conditions here are basic

you and your wife should sit properly in chairs

it will help me with the acupuncture

and allow you to relax.

Both of you.

The negative energy is being drawn out of your bodies now.

You might feel uncomfortable,

but please bear with it a little longer.

It'll be over soon.

I feel

a warm current flowing through my body.

All the fatigue in my body is gone.

Good.

That's it.

Now my husband and I can have a baby.

It's not that miraculous.

Well,

at least you need to go home first.

So,

I'll write you a prescription later.

It will help balance your body.

You'll likely have a little angel soon.

I won't charge you for today.

When your baby turns one month old,

don't forget to invite me.

When will it be my turn to hold a grandchild?

Mom,

could you please stop bringing up having children in front of others?

Auntie,

Auntie,

I'm back again.

Why are you just standing there?

Say hello quickly.

It's so late now.

Why are you here again?

The company just called me over.

They said new jewelry items have arrived.

I thought they would suit you perfectly,

so I brought them to you right away.

Auntie,

please try it on

and see how it looks.

Oh,

I couldn't possibly accept this.

I'm just an old woman.

Auntie,

you're not old at all.

You're still young.

You'll need to help take care of your grandchildren in the future.

Really...

Oh my!

I'll be going now,

and won't disturb you two anymore.

Why are you leaving?

You stay.

I'll go.

Slide to answer.

You're really enthusiastic.

If you won't take initiative, can't I do it instead?

Auntie, who was that on the phone?

You don't seem happy.

A relative came here before,

wearing clothes you bought for my mother.

Kidnappers mistook her identity and abducted her.

There was an accident.

Now those ungrateful relatives from my hometown

are trying every way to extort money from me.

There are really such people?

It's okay.

I'll handle this matter.

You're so easy to talk to.

Yesterday,

I spoke with Ouyang Lan on the phone.

Today, let's align our thoughts.

This old neighborhood is going to be demolished.

Our parents' house is on the demolition list too.

The compensation is substantial.

What does everyone think?

Feel free to speak your mind.

The house our parents bought,

although she paid for it,

is registered under her name.

But now that our parents are gone,

it's only fair

that the house should belong to all of us siblings.

She's doing so well for herself now,

moved to the big city of Maiching

and ignores us poor relatives.

When our aunt went to visit her,

she ended up dead.

She must give us an explanation.

One million each.

None of us should back down.

Since we're all in agreement,

we'll wait for her to come tomorrow

and let her experience

what blood is thicker than water means

and what brotherly love truly is.

Good.

Xiaofan,

why aren't you driving your own car?

Why borrow someone else's?

Mom, for today's meeting,

this car is perfect.

Hahaha.

Sis, you're back.

Big sister, long time no see.

Now you're being enthusiastic.

Long time no see.

Tongtong has grown so tall.

Brother,

I don't know how to play this game.

Can you help me?

This is a critical time for college entrance exams.

Play fewer games.

OK, I know.

Brother,

yesterday they were planning

to scam money from you.

Sitong has really grown up.

Don't worry, I know.

Then why did you still come?

My mother's house is here.

It's going to be demolished.

I had to come.

Xiaofan,

come.

Xiaofan, I need to talk to you.

You've made a fortune recently, right?

Look at your mother,

still dressed so plainly.

You should

buy your mother some nice clothes.

Yes,

fine feathers make fine birds.

You've become rich.

Don't come back being all secretive,

trying to fool people with this old car.

Oh,

showing off wealth lately brings trouble.

We must be cautious.

Watch how you speak.

That's your aunt.

Well, learn from others' mistakes.

I definitely want all relatives to be safe and sound.

Alright,

let's go inside and talk.

Xiaofan,

say less.

I asked everyone to come today

mainly to discuss the house demolition.

It will involve some financial matters.

Well...

Lan,

add me as a friend first.

It'll be easier to transfer money later.

Sis.

I mean, no matter how frugal you are,

you shouldn't be using this kind of phone.

Look,

this phone of mine

was bought by my son,

it cost over 10,000 yuan.

Of course. A real son makes all the difference.

This phone is quite good.

It was a gift from Xiaofan's friend.

It's good enough.

Aunt Lan, may I take a look at your phone?

What's this?

Oh, you like it, Sitong?

I'll buy one for you tomorrow.

No,

this phone

last month my colleague got one free with a phone plan

similar to this one.

I guess this was also free with a plan,

worth 500 yuan at most.

Let's see.

Let's check what plan this phone has

and get one for Sitong right away.

I'll check it.

Your plan is a lifetime package.

Did you enter the wrong number?

Let's call customer service and check again.

You are using a lifetime package,

all call charges are free.

Are they crazy?

Burning money or what?

Getting a lifetime plan for such a cheap phone.

This is not a cheap phone.

Look,

this screen

it's made from a single piece of natural gemstone.

What?

This...

You just said

you'd buy Sitong a phone.

Alright, alright.

I was just joking.

Don't take it seriously.

Sitong is still young.

She should focus on her studies.

Right.

Why don't you ask your son to show some filial piety too?

Is a real son really that different?

Xiaofan,

this phone is too expensive.

Mom, it's their goodwill.

Just keep it.

Not bad.

Xiaofan has really made something of himself.

Indeed.

He can afford a lifetime phone plan,

surely he can afford some compensation.

I've checked.

That Zui Jiangnan Restaurant under Xiaofan's name

is worth at least 80 million.

Let's sort this out properly.

Xiaohui went to Maiqing

and then the accident happened.

We'll split the funeral costs among our families,

we won't charge you for that.

But for emotional damages,

you should pay.

Compensation.

Yes, exactly.

We're all deeply grieved.

Xiaohui was living happily with us in Wufeng,

went to Maiqing once

and then she was gone.

We're traumatized.

Exactly.

I haven't had a good night's sleep for days,

my chest hurts just thinking about it.

So,

our five families

need 1 million each,

5 million in total.

5 million is not enough.

I've prepared 10 million.

Hahaha!

Xiaofan,

I always knew you'd be successful.

I was right about you.

Yes, indeed.

He's so generous.

When he says he'll compensate us,

he really comes through with this much.

Since Xiaofan has everything ready,

we shouldn't delay.

Let's go to the bank right now

and deposit the money immediately.

Sitong,

since your parents aren't here,

I'll help you deposit the money first

and transfer it to your parents later.

I have it.

But did I say I'd share it with you?

What do you mean?

Are you playing games with us?

Isn't it only right that you pay compensation?

Regarding that incident,

the police have already reported the case.

The responsibility doesn't lie with our family.

What makes you think it's our obligation?

Xiaohui lived in Wufeng for years without incident.

How did she die after just one visit to your home?

Shouldn't you be responsible?

It's not up to you to determine responsibility.

It's not up to me either.

Otherwise, sue me.

Whatever the court decides,

that's how I'll compensate.

Auntie,

look at this.

How have you raised your child?

Is this how he speaks to his elders?

Exactly.

We've been relatives for so many years.

Your family must be worth tens of millions now.

Yet you can't even spare 1 million for each of our families.

How stingy!

Sister,

you spend plenty on your phone plan.

What's wrong with sharing some money with your poor relatives?

Relatives?

When my mother was seriously ill,

which of you elders treated us like family?

You wouldn't even open the door when we came to borrow money.

You,

I stood outside your door all night,

and you dumped garbage on my head.

And you,

my mother was pushed out as soon as she entered your house.

She even sprained her ankle.

And you still have the nerve to call me 'Sister' so affectionately.

Alright, alright.

Those are all things from years ago.

Why bring them up now?

Then let me talk about more recent events.

When my mother was critically ill,

which of you elders lent me money?

I always repay kindness.

Unfortunately,

only Sitong here offered a helping hand.

Sitong,

you were the only one who lent me money.

This is my repayment to you.

Open it and see.

1 million.

This is too much.

I-I can't accept it.

You deserve this.

I've always been one to repay kindness.

What a pity.

Among all of you, only Sitong offered me help.

Sitong, you were the only one who lent me money before.

This is the money I'm paying back to you.

Open it and see.

1 million.

This is too much.

I... I can't accept this.

You deserve this.

Hmm.

What are you trying to do?

Showing off your wealth in front of us today.

Just to flaunt yourself?

Exactly.

This is your hometown.

Now that you've made it big.

You've forgotten those who raised you.

Heartless.

I have a conscience.

But I won't give it to those who don't deserve it.

It's the Ouyang family, right?

I heard someone wants to donate money to repair the school building.

Principal.

I'm the one donating.

10 million.

You are...

Ye Bufan.

I heard the school buildings need renovation.

I've made quite a bit from my business lately.

I plan to give back to society.

This is the perfect opportunity.

Oh my.

No way.

What's wrong?

She's worried it's not safe for you to carry it alone.

She wants me to go with you later.

This... is really going to be donated.

It's already been reported online.

Can't be withdrawn.

Then on behalf of our school, I thank you, Xiaofan.

Brother, stop him!

Hmph.

Why stop him?

He's already reported it online.

If we stop him.

Do we want to get arrested?

Do we just have to watch.

As they act so arrogantly?

Don't worry.

I anticipated this money wouldn't be easy to get.

But we've already saved face.

Since they're being unreasonable.

Don't blame me for disregarding family ties.

Hmph.

That's not right of you to say.

Your Xiaofan

must have sold the Ouyang family heirloom

to get so wealthy today.

No, no.

I left Wufeng years ago.

How would I have such things?

No way.

If you didn't take the Ouyang family treasures,

how could you turn your fortunes around in just a few months?

Xiaofan would never do such a thing.

Look at that jade necklace on her neck.

It might be one of our Ouyang family heirlooms.

Impressive, really impressive.

These days,

people trying to extort money don't even do their research.

It's ridiculous.

My mother's necklace

is the latest design from Qin's brand.

Ignorant.

You!

Hey!

Who dares to cause trouble in the Ouyang household?

Brother Xiong,

I need your help today

to teach this disrespectful kid of mine a lesson.

Him.

That's me.

Boy, you don't look like you're from around here.

I'm Black Bear, Ouyang's friend.

If you're smart,

apologize to your elders.

Do as he says,

and this will be over.

Otherwise,

don't blame me for getting rough.

Don't be polite.

Then let me be polite first.

You apologize to me,

then go back where you came from,

and this will be over.

You dare to talk to Brother Xiong like that?

Brother Xiong, this kid is just being stubborn.

Don't hold back on my account.

Teach him a lesson and he'll behave.

From what you're saying,

with this Black Bear backing you up,

you guys must bully people all the time, right?

Kid,

your own family asked me to discipline you,

so I'll teach you how to behave properly.

If you enjoy getting beaten up,

I'd be happy to oblige.

We've already had our fight.

If you try to get involved again,

I won't be as nice as I was just now.

Kid,

you do have some skills,

but unfortunately,

you dare to humiliate me like this.

Our chairman won't let you off the hook.

Who are you trying to scare?

Go ahead, call him.

If you don't call him now,

I won't have time later.

You'll regret this.

I just remembered I have something to do at home. I'm leaving.

Look at him.

Do you think he'll let us go?

Xiaoda is here.

What are you afraid of?

It's a crucial time right now.

I don't want to have conflicts with him.

But I can still ensure you won't be in danger.

Hey,

why don't we go after them?

Chairman.

Disgraceful.

I'm sorry.

Have to wait another week for the next update.

What a cliffhanger.

So you're the one who beat up Black Bear.

Shh, I need to take this call.

We're businesspeople.

We believe in harmony brings wealth.

We never bully others.

But we won't let it slide if someone hits us.

Let him find backup if he wants.

I want to see what he's capable of.

Thanks.

It's nothing.

I'm not in Maiqing.

I'm in Wufeng.

Oh.

What a coincidence.

He's here.

Okay.

It's for you.

For me?

It's from Tang Feng.

Throw me the phone.

This is a brand new phone.

What if it breaks?

You'd better come get it yourself.

I try to be nice to you.

And you take advantage of it.

Get on your knees when you speak to me.

What should I do?

Your distant relative doesn't seem to trust me.

And he's threatening me verbally.

Tang Jian.

You're asking for trouble.

Get your ass over here.

Kid, I just got here.

And my uncle already called.

AI is so advanced these days.

I'm not stupid.

You think you can trick me with an AI-generated voice?

Save your breath.

Better think about how you're going to beg for mercy.

Still trying to be clever.

Good thing it didn't break.

Otherwise I'd have to ask your uncle for compensation.

You...

Uncle, you called for me?

Tang Jian, are you tired of living?

How dare you disrespect Dr. Ye like that!

Master.

Who... who exactly is he?

He saved my father's life.

He's an honored guest of the Tang family.

You dare to yell at him?

Have you lost your mind?

Master.

I was wrong.

Apologize to Dr. Ye immediately.

Do whatever he tells you to do.

If he doesn't forgive you,

you can forget about being the chairman anymore.

Master Ye, I'm sorry.

I was very disrespectful.

I, Tang Jian, will accept any punishment.

We were wrong.

Do you want to call anyone else?

I win people over with virtue.

I'll give you time to call for help.

Inheriting ancient medical arts, cultivating urban techniques.

Follow official Weibo and Douyin.

Become the next chosen one.

I've dealt with Tang Feng several times before.

We're all acquaintances.

About today's matter.

There's no right or wrong.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Everyone get up.

Thank you, Master Ye.

Thank you, Master Ye.

Master Ye.

Today's matter depends entirely on your word.

You called the people from Wuhu Chamber of Commerce.

No, it's all a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

Do you think they believe it's a misunderstanding?

Alright, Xiao Fan.

Let's be forgiving when we can.

Mom.

If I don't resolve this today.

They'll cause trouble again.

And they'll definitely be worse next time.

I know you're soft-hearted.

And still care about family ties.

But do they care?

When our parents were still alive.

They always said our family should be united.

And help each other.

Now with things in such a mess.

How can our parents rest in peace?

Mom.

What's the use of telling them all this?

They called us here today to talk.

Just because.

They still have designs on the old house you bought.

People always make mistakes.

Maybe you're not wrong to confront them.

But the Ouyang family will fall apart.

Alright.

Since my mother has spoken.

You can go now.

I need you to help me with something.

Master Ye, please just say the word.

After they leave.

Do as I tell you.

Big brother, are we really letting this go?

Such a big house.

If divided.

Each family would get at least several hundred thousand.

About Xiaohui's matter.

It's fine if we don't benefit from it.

But this house belongs to our Ouyang family.

Hmph.

Why are you in such a hurry to discuss this?

I have my own way.

Don't make a fuss now.

We'll talk when we get back.

Xiaodie

I'm sorry.

There, there.

Don't cry.

We were never his match to begin with.

There's no shame in losing.

However,

since he cares so much about what his mother says,

I can certainly use that to my advantage.

Tomorrow is your wife's funeral.

You need to work hard

and not waste all these days

I've been good to you.

I will, I will.

I called everyone here today

to put your minds at ease.

Let me introduce you to

Mr. Chen Feng, the young master of Pengcheng Group.

Hello, Mr. Chen.

Uncle Zhi,

our families will soon be related by marriage.

The Ouyang family's business is my business.

No need to be so formal.

Mr. Chen,

about that house...

Auntie,

that Ye fellow is arrogant,

but I have plenty of ways to deal with him.

Even if I can't handle it,

there's my father.

If my father can't manage it,

we have bigger players.

Don't worry,

I'll definitely sort this out for you.

Mr. Chen is truly accomplished for his age.

It's just that

the house is still under Ouyang Lan's name.

That was a mistake my mother made in her confusion before she passed away.

Now when we try to claim the compensation,

it doesn't seem legitimate.

Don't worry.

This demolition project

is fully managed by our Pengcheng Group.

Who gets the compensation and who doesn't

is just one word from my father.

We're going to be family after all.

Good.

However, judging from today's situation,

that Ye person

probably has the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce backing him.

In our Wufeng County,

the Wuhu Chamber is powerful, true,

but they're far inferior to our company.

Besides,

they belong to the Tang family,

while our Pengcheng Group's owner is the Gu family.

How would he dare to give me attitude

over a mere house?

That's right, that's right.

Mr. Chen is impressive.

Then we'll leave everything to you, Manager Chen.

You should hurry and process the paperwork.

Get everything done tomorrow,

and I'll release the funds then.

Good.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

Once the paperwork is done tomorrow,

we'll all profit together.

Good.

Will it work?

As long as we can delay for two hours,

this matter will be settled.

Xiaohui, son,

you died so tragically.

It was you!

You two killed Xiaohui and my son!

I want you to pay with your lives!

Let go

of Xiaofan.

Let's talk this through.

Release your uncle first.

Let's be civil.

If you get physical again,

I won't be so polite.

You're inhuman.

How dare you cause trouble at a funeral.

Enough.

This is Xiaohui and Xiaojun's funeral.

Everyone please calm down.

You want me to stay calm?

Xiaohui died at your Ouyang family home.

And you're still trying to avoid responsibility.

We will take responsibility.

The police said we're not liable.

But since Xiaohui was my sister,

I can cover all the funeral expenses.

Just funeral expenses?

If I kill you right now,

I'd be willing to pay for your funeral too.

If you don't want to talk properly,

then don't speak at all.

What do you want then?

First, admit

that the death of mother and son

was your fault.

What else?

I want both of you to wear mourning clothes

and pay respects to my wife and son.

This...

Xiaohui was my sister.

Traditionally, only when elders pass away

do younger generations wear mourning clothes.

Today, respect for the dead comes first.

You'll do it whether you agree or not.

Ridiculous.

Your wife and son occupied my mother's room,

stole my mother's clothes,

and were accidentally killed by kidnappers.

There was nothing we could do.

We came here to offer comfort,

but you're being unreasonable.

So we might as well not attend this funeral.

Mom, let's go.

The two executives from Pengcheng Group are already on their way.

If we delay any longer,

it'll be too late to change anything.

Don't leave!

Or else...

The Ouyang family are murderers!

I don't want to live anymore!

Oh my!

Look at this,

how did the funeral turn into such a mess?

Everything can be resolved through reason and law.

He doesn't dare use legal means,

and instead chooses to throw a tantrum.

As for sympathy,

he's the one making a scene at his wife's funeral.

For someone like him,

giving in to his demands

would be an insult to Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun.

Everything can be resolved through compassion, reason, and law.

He doesn't dare to resolve this through legal means.

Instead of reasoning, he chooses to throw tantrums.

As for compassion,

he chose to make a scene at his wife's funeral.

For someone like this,

letting him succeed

would be an insult to Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun.

How dare you speak like that?

What's going on here?

Chairman Tang,

you must stand up for us!

This Ye Bufan is bullying us,

while my wife and child are barely cold in their graves.

I wasn't asking you.

Master Ye,

what can I do for you?

Chairman Tang, please clear the way.

I'm leaving.

Let me go!

This is my wife and son's funeral!

Chairman Tang!

I have no patience for your nonsense.

What are you up to?

Don't think I don't know.

Wait for me a moment.

Sister,

nephew,

regardless of what happened between us before,

I sincerely wish you both

a peaceful journey.

Master Ye, there's something you should know.

Can we talk privately?

Okay.

Mom,

you and Sitong go wait in the car.

I'll be there shortly.

Master Ye, my people sent me a message.

They saw Pengcheng Group planning to take action today,

to demolish your old family house.

The old house is under my mother's and my name.

We haven't even signed any compensation agreement.

How can they demolish it?

Apparently your relatives have all agreed to it,

and all other paperwork is complete.

Pengcheng Group, in charge of the demolition, is the Gu family's company.

I can't intervene forcefully.

It's alright.

No need to trouble yourself.

I'll handle this myself.

Just for this old broken house,

you thought it worth bringing me here?

This concerns my lifelong happiness.

If you want grandchildren soon,

you need to give your approval.

Once this house is demolished and the money divided,

the Ouyang family will be grateful to us.

But the property rights aren't in Uncle Ouyang Zhi's name.

They belong to Ouyang Lan and Ye Bufan.

Does it matter who holds the deed?

I've already paid the money.

It's the Ouyang family's business anyway.

Let them sort it out themselves.

What did that chamber of commerce chairman discuss with you?

They won't give your uncle and the others a hard time, will they?

If anyone's having a hard time, it's me because of them.

Mom, get in the car first.

I need to make a call.

Hello, Miss Gu.

Pengcheng Group is your company, right?

Yes, that's right.

I have a small matter.

My family has an old house

that's facing forced demolition,

and they've given the compensation to someone else.

No rush.

Just come over

and handle it fairly.

Who are you two?

Congratulations, auntie!

Your old house is going to be demolished.

Demolition?

We haven't agreed to this yet,

and the elderly's belongings are still inside.

Don't worry, auntie.

Uncle Zhi has already taken care of it.

Everything inside has been packed and moved out.

The house is just an empty shell now.

Once it's demolished,

your Ouyang family can split the money.

Ouyang family?

Who says this house belongs to the Ouyang family?

Have you seen the property deed?

You're not from Wufeng, are you?

Everyone knows this old house

belongs to the elderly Ouyang couple.

Now that they've passed away,

the house naturally belongs to you children.

When this house is demolished,

how much will we get?

We're all neighbors here.

I wouldn't shortchange you.

This house,

our Pengcheng Group has valued it at 2 million.

As for how much you'll receive,

you can ask Mr. Ouyang De, who's in charge of your family affairs.

Director Chen, shall we start demolition?

Hurry up and demolish it. The sooner the better.

Look, there's someone here waiting for their share.

We meet again,

Black Bear.

Mr. Ye,

I'm just doing the job I'm paid for.

If you're angry, don't take it out on me.

Angry?

In Wufeng,

how dare I show any anger?

You don't even check the documents

before demolishing houses.

I've already reported this to Director Gu.

Get ready to face the consequences.

None of you will escape.

As if someone like you would know Director Gu.

Besides, this house

was swindled from the elderly by your mother.

Now we've signed an agreement.

The money will be split among our families, and no one can change that.

What do you mean I swindled it from the elderly?

When this house was built, you didn't contribute a penny.

I struggled to gather the money to build this house.

What do you mean you raised money to build this house?

Do you have any proof that we didn't contribute?

Were you there when we paid?

Show us the evidence.

Heaven sees everything we do.

How can you do something so unconscionable

without fearing karma?

You're just a junior member of this family.

Stop cursing your elders

or something bad will happen to you.

Enough.

The agreement has been signed,

the compensation has been given to the Ouyang family,

so I'm going to demolish this house now.

Who received the compensation?

Your share of the compensation wasn't much to begin with.

Your brother-in-law Kang Lei lost his wife and child,

so we held a family meeting

and transferred all your money to him.

Xiaolan, you surely have no objections, right?

Mom.

Do you understand now?

You wanted the money,

so you took it.

I see clearly now.

The Ouyang family doesn't need me anymore.

I'm leaving.

Auntie is so perceptive.

Heixiong, get to work.

Do whatever you want.

As long as you're happy.

Oh no, I forgot to get my hair done!

Today we're formally inviting Mr. Ye and his mother to dinner.

What about my appearance?

What are you afraid of?

Others should be afraid of you.

Why is it that when it comes to Mr. Ye,

you seem like a completely different person?

Hmph.

Because I want to.

Well,

for today's event,

we really must thank Director Chen.

Absolutely.

Congratulations to Brother Zhi for finding such a good son-in-law.

Even I've shopped for bags until my arms ached.

This is just the beginning.

Aunt's family has so much money,

it will all be ours sooner or later.

Hahaha!

Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize,

but this restaurant has been reserved for a private event today.

Please find another venue.

We have money.

I'm sorry,

but today is a special occasion.

We can offer you vouchers as compensation.

Do you know who I am?

Honored guest, I'm truly sorry,

but today really is...

Today I'll make sure you understand

exactly who I am.

Do you know who I am?

I'm sorry, sir.

Today really.

I'll make you properly understand.

Who I am.

I apologize, Mr. Chen.

This greeter is new.

We'll definitely strengthen our training in the future.

Fine.

Since you, Manager Zhang, have stepped in.

I won't make an issue of it.

Arrange the best private room for me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chen.

Miss Gu has booked the entire place today.

Why don't.

You give Ms. Gu a call.

Ms. Gu is in Wufeng?

Impossible. This can't be possible.

If she were coming to Wufeng.

How could she not tell me?

Mr. Chen, you think highly of yourself.

Why would Ms. Gu's schedule.

Require her to inform you first?

Why are you all here?

What?

Do I need to inform you about my schedule?

Who do you think you are?

Ms. Gu has booked this restaurant today.

If we can't get in.

Neither can you.

All these bags, big and small.

Must have cost quite a bit.

I hope you won't regret it later.

Regret?

Life should be lived freely and easily.

Unlike some people.

Who have money but pretend to be poor everywhere.

Can't even bear to buy decent clothes.

Living freely.

Only works with honestly earned money.

Money gained through dishonest means.

Burns when you spend it.

Ye Bufan, long time no see.

Why did you come back to Wufeng?

Hey, old classmate.

It's been a while.

I came back to handle some family matters.

Ms. Gu is hosting today.

So I came for the meal.

We haven't seen each other since graduation.

What a coincidence.

Yes, quite a coincidence indeed.

Hmph!

What do you mean she invited you?

You and your mother are nothing but nouveau riche.

How could Ms. Gu possibly invite you for dinner?

Please contact Miss Gu for me.

Tell her I'm here for our appointment.

Stop pretending.

When Ms. Gu finds out you're using her name,

you'll be in big trouble.

Hello, Ms. Gu.

Mr. Ye Bufan is here to see you.

Alright. He's downstairs.

Still pretending?

Let's see how you get out of this.

Ms. Gu.

Ms. Gu.

Hello, Ms. Gu.

Xiaofan, why didn't you come up directly?

Why are you standing at the door?

Hello, auntie.

Come on.

Let's go upstairs to eat and chat, auntie.

What are you so smug about?

The compensation money all went to us anyway.

My friend, please take my mother upstairs first.

I have something to take care of here.

Auntie, you can trust Xiaofan to handle things.

Please go upstairs first.

We'll be done soon.

Mom will do as you say.

Let's go, auntie.

Thank you.

If you hadn't mentioned it,

I would have almost forgotten about this matter.

It's them.

My family's old house belongs to my mother.

Now it's being demolished.

These two executives from Pengcheng Group just demolished the building

and distributed compensation to my relatives.

But the rightful owner,

my mother,

hasn't seen a penny.

Oh, is that so?

No, that's not-

Ms. Gu, let me explain.

Shut up.

Xiaofan, please continue.

Xiaofan.

I estimate that the Chen father and son, as organizers,

must have illegally taken about 5 million yuan.

Not that much.

Only 2 million.

Oh, I was mistaken then.

No, no!

I... I...

Now, Mr. Chen, please show us

that arrogance you had earlier.

Mr. Ye,

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Starting now,

you and your son are relieved of all duties at Pengcheng Group.

The illegally distributed 2 million yuan

must be recovered by you within one day.

But I just bought this bag.

I've removed the tags.

It can't be returned anymore.

The food is ready.

Ms. Ouyang asks you all to come up and eat together.

What's going on here?

Remember this:

after recovering the illegal funds,

you will also compensate this lady 30,000 yuan.

Within 24 hours,

if you fail to handle these matters,

I won't hesitate to file a lawsuit against you.

Remember, you only have 24 hours.

Why are you looking at me?

Having the Gu family as your backing,

no wonder Xiaodie was so cautious.

But your good days are coming to an end.

If you hadn't said that extra word...

If it weren't for you...

In-law,

please calm down.

Let's talk this through.

Who says we're in-laws?

Chen Feng,

if you dare marry someone from their family,

I'll break your legs.

Like hell I'm getting married.

These idiots,

if they don't return the money within 24 hours,

they'll have to deal with me.

Why should we?

Once the money is in our hands, it's ours.

How we spend it is our business.

Don't get physical. We can talk this out.

I already did.

What are you going to do about it?

It hurts! I'm dying!

I'm getting a lawyer.

Chen Feng, prepare for a massive lawsuit.

You guys talk too much.

I've been sitting here eating until I'm stuffed.

Let me tell you,

this Qingcheng girl is really something.

She has presence in public,

but no airs in private.

And she has a great figure.

She must have many suitors.

Wait, wait.

What does her having many suitors have to do with me?

Don't you like Chuchu?

Chuchu is nice too.

But Qingcheng is also nice.

Let me tell you,

you can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone.

I can tell right away.

This Qingcheng girl likes you.

I'm not picky.

Either one would make a fine daughter-in-law.

Mom, let's go.

Xiaofan, you need to hurry up.

Love isn't something you can delay.

Delay marriage and it's too late.

Late marriage means late children.

Late children means late schooling.

Late schooling means late employment.

Mom, don't talk to me while I'm driving.

We might have an accident.

Trying to scam us?

If it weren't for helping you,

this wouldn't have happened.

It's been too long since I've had to fight.

I'm really tired.

That was way too fast.

They got the money this morning,

and before lunch they bought a car worth hundreds of thousands.

How much can we recover?

The luxury items can only be sold online as second-hand goods.

The car can be returned to the dealership.

We can get the principal back.

All in all,

we can recover about 1 million.

We're still short 1 million.

Don't they still have a house?

We can't do that.

Shut up. I wasn't asking you.

If we return the car to the dealership.

We might break even.

All things considered.

It's about 1 million.

We're still short 1 million.

Don't they still have a house?

That won't do.

Shut up.

I'm not asking for your opinion.

Mom, are you okay?

No, I'm fine.

Mom's alright.

You're not hurt, are you?

Hey, do you even know how to drive?

Who gave you the nerve to hit my car?

Look at my precious car.

Look what you've done to it.

How do you even drive?

You ran a red light going the wrong way and it's my fault?

Haven't you learned traffic rules?

Who else should I blame if not you?

I just got this new car.

You saw me and didn't move.

You even dared to hit me.

I'm being nice by not hitting you.

I'll give you two options.

Get me a brand new car.

You can take this one if you want.

Two.

If you can't afford it.

Go sit in jail.

Miss.

You're being unreasonable.

Drivers must follow traffic rules.

You broke the rules first.

Who are you?

Don't lecture me about traffic rules.

Say one more word.

And I'll get physical.

How dare you.

Show some respect to my mother.

You dare hit me?

Do you know who I am?

Now even replacing my car won't be enough.

Just you wait.

Hey, is this Brother Heixiong?

It's me.

Jiaojiao.

I'll send you my location.

Come right away.

Someone's bullying me.

And hit my precious car.

Wow.

This Wufeng County is too small.

It's good that you know.

Don't worry.

Just give me five minutes.

I'll make you beg for mercy.

Mom, wait here for a moment.

It's Heixiong who's coming.

No need to worry.

Talk it through.

If all else fails, call the police.

Okay.

I understand.

Heixiong.

You've really got some nerve this time.

Ye Bufan.

Your good days are over.

Scared now?

I think your brain must be damaged.

You don't remember how you ended up face down yesterday.

Today is different.

What's going on?

Mom.

You go first.

You came just in time.

Stop them for me.

Heixiong, chase them!

Don't let him get away.

Message from Gu Qingcheng:

Please help me.

Pick me up at Aichihuoguo on Haining Road.

Master, Xiaotutu has messaged Gu Qingcheng.

Location map has been sent.

Mom, go find Qingcheng.

I can't perform well with you here.

Can you handle this?

You seem to be struggling.

I think...

I know what the problem is.

Don't worry.

I can handle it.

Huh?

Why did you come back?

Well, what's this?

Can't run anymore?

I don't think I need to run anymore.

Then prepare to die.

How is this possible?

I noticed during our fight...

Your dark energy

cannot absorb my spiritual energy.

Instead, it contaminates

and disrupts my energy flow.

You...

While I was leading you on,

I used silver needles to expel the dark energy from my body.

Then I created a spiritual shield

to block your dark energy contamination.

After that,

defeating you is too easy.

Where did you get this dark energy from?

I...

I don't remember.

The dark energy just drained my strength.

I passed out.

Did you record it?

Yes, Miss Chen.

Dad, brother.

You're here.

Good.

This car crash worked out well.

Yes, Dad.

We need to make up for

the loss we just suffered.

Tell me about it.

That guy hit my car

and not only refused to apologize but also attacked us.

Look.

Three people were beaten up here

and they're seriously injured.

Black Bear over there

was also hurt.

So the compensation can't be small.

Wait a minute.

He beat Black Bear?

What's the name of this person who hit your car?

Look,

it's that guy.

I remember now.

Black Bear called him

Ye Bufan.

What a coincidence,

Mr. Chen.

Wufeng County is really small.

Hello, Mr. Ye.

Since we all know each other,

how should we settle this accident?

How else?

Of course

it's our fault.

After all, we were driving against traffic and ran a red light.

So how do you plan to compensate?

Shut up.

This is Mr. Gu's honored guest.

My father and I just offended him this morning and got fired.

If you don't want me to smash your head,

keep quiet.

We just bought a Pegasus car.

We've barely driven it.

How about we give it to you as compensation?

That's fine.

Not having transportation

is inconvenient in Wufeng.

Let's consider this matter settled.

But remember,

these roads belong to Wufeng,

not to your Chen family.

Careless driving

brings tears to your loved ones.

Yes, yes.

Hello, it's me.

Ah, now.

Hey, it's me.

Ah, now.

Old classmates.

Yang Jincai and others are back in Wufeng these days.

Gao Daqiang is coming too.

He's bringing his inseparable girlfriend.

Haven't seen each other for so many years.

Let's get together.

Daqiang is back?

Then I must help check out his girlfriend.

I'll let my family know.

Send me the address.

See you tonight.

I have a classmate reunion tonight.

Gao Daqiang will be there too.

Yes, he's bringing his girlfriend.

No.

How could I bring Director Gu there?

Mom.

The signal is bad.

What a lousy phone.

That's it.

Bye-bye.

Mom's pressuring me to get married.

It's terrifying.

Yang Jincai.

Long time no see.

Hmph.

Xiaofan.

You came back to Wufeng.

Without even saying hello to me.

Daqiang.

You've gotten even stronger.

I've only been back for a couple of days.

Lots of family matters to deal with.

Any troubles?

If nothing else.

I still have my strength.

No.

Almost everything's taken care of.

Who's this?

I'm so happy to see you.

Almost forgot to introduce.

This is my girlfriend.

Zhao Xiaodie.

Xiaodie.

This is my buddy Ye Bufan.

Top student from medical school.

He'll be a professor someday.

Nice to meet you.

Hello.

You seem so familiar.

I have the same feeling.

Daqiang always praises you to me.

Alright, alright.

Stop arguing, you two.

Let's go inside.

Everyone else is waiting.

There's something familiar about this woman's aura.

Daqiang's energy seems disturbed.

Who is this woman really?

Daqiang and I have been friends since childhood.

Back in college,

Daqiang sent me local specialties

which helped me a lot.

What are you talking about?

We're brothers.

Sending you some local food was the least I could do.

Didn't you help me build my computer?

Something's not right.

Daqiang's energy appears strong,

but it's actually very weak.

It doesn't match his usually bull-like physique

at all.

Are you okay?

Gao Daqiang, take care of yourself.

Who's this beautiful lady?

Aren't you going to introduce her to us?

Won't you introduce her?

This is my girlfriend, Zhao Xiaodie.

And this is Mr. Yang Jincai.

Beautiful lady,

come sit over here.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm just a small business owner.

My family owns the Shengshui Sauna.

This girl's mind control technique is quite impressive.

Mr. Yang,

I heard you've taken over your family business.

Just keeping busy every day,

making a hard-earned living.

Oh, right.

After our gathering,

you guys should come to my sauna.

It's on the house.

Thanks a lot, Boss Yang.

This energy isn't killing intent.

It's more like an accumulation of negative energy.

And from the looks of it,

he must often do things that weigh on his conscience.

Yang Jincai,

did something happen to your family?

Why are you running the family business now?

Ye Bufan,

if you don't know how to make conversation, just shut up.

Xiaofan,

you don't know.

His father was in a traffic accident last year.

He's still in a coma at the hospital.

Yang Jincai,

I can see your spirit is unstable.

Is there something wrong

with your bathhouse?

You should close it down first

and thoroughly investigate the cause.

Shut your jinxing mouth.

My bathhouse makes seven figures a year.

Business is going well.

Why should I close it?

Business is going well.

I just did a quick search.

There are tons of entries about disputes at your bathhouse.

I'd say

there are at least thirty incidents every month.

It's just business.

People get jealous.

It's hot lately,

everyone's temper is short.

Isn't it normal to have some disputes?

You'd better take this seriously.

These problems will only get worse.

If you don't intervene quickly,

the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ye Bufan,

just admit you're jealous,

and stop putting on an act.

That's enough, Mr. Yang.

Ye is just trying to help.

For Xiaodie's sake,

I won't argue with you.

Damn it.

This matter

I must settle with you.

You're looking for trouble.

Dr. Ye is so impressive.

Likewise.

What did you do to me?

I just adjusted your body.

Think carefully again

about closing your bathhouse.

Why should I close it?

My family business

is none of your business.

If you make me angry,

I'll have people deal with you.

You want to mess with my brother?

Did you ask for my permission?

Forget it.

Chairman Sun, Ruobing,

you're here.

Please, have a seat.

Who is this?

This is Zhao Xiaodie.

She wasn't our classmate.

When Yang Jincai notified us, he said

we could bring our partners,

so I brought her along.

Although I'm organizing this gathering,

Chairman Sun is actually treating us.

His father is the chairman of the Wufeng Financial Association,

in Wufeng,

he's one of the top entrepreneurs.

It's nothing.

Not worth mentioning.

We couldn't find a more prestigious hotel in our small town,

but the food and drinks I selected are just as good as any fancy hotel.

As former classmates,

let's just enjoy the food and drinks.

Chairman Sun,

you're being too modest.

Let's start the dinner.

Sure,

I'll ask the waiter to bring the wine.

I need to step out for a moment

to fix my makeup.

I need some fresh air.

How annoying.

You were waiting for me?

But I have a boyfriend.

We both know each other's background,

so let's not beat around the bush.

I can pretend I didn't see your little tricks,

but if you dare hurt Gao Daqiang again,

I won't let you get away with it.

Are you going to hit me in front of Daqiang?

If you insist on going that far,

I might just do that.

So arrogant.

Come on.

Linman can't make it tonight due to an emergency.

Now that everyone's here,

let's play a game.

Chairman Sun will explain the rules.

We classmates haven't seen each other for many years.

Everyone bring out the most precious thing you have with you

and tell its story.

If your story isn't interesting enough,

you'll drink a bottle.

Great!

Chairman Sun is so creative.

Come.

Linman can't make it tonight. She has an emergency.

Now we're all here.

Let's play a game.

Listen to Mr. Sun explain the rules.

We classmates haven't seen each other for so many years.

Everyone, take out the most precious thing you have with you.

Tell us its story.

If it's not interesting enough,

you'll have to drink a bottle.

Good.

Mr. Sun is so creative.

When I started my business,

I made countless phone calls,

before finally securing a big order.

I worked hard to save money for a car.

This car was the starting point of my success,

and it's currently my most precious possession.

Great.

Our classmates

should all have Mr. Sun's drive to pursue their dreams.

I don't have Mr. Sun's abilities.

I just went to Qingyun Temple

and obtained a bracelet worn by Master Xuanhuo.

With this bracelet,

Master Xuanhuo will protect my sauna business

and make everything go smoothly.

What are you laughing at?

If you're so capable, tell us your story.

This is a sachet Daqiang gave me in our graduation year.

I've always kept it with me.

It helps keep me alert.

Thanks to it,

I was able to pass my exams successfully.

Keeps you alert?

A sachet?

What's so special about this worn-out thing?

And after so many years,

it must have lost its scent by now.

I keep it with me

to remind myself

that Daqiang is my friend for life.

This worn-out thing

can prove friendship?

The most precious thing to me,

besides brotherhood,

is

meeting Xiaodie.

She is my treasure.

That doesn't count.

Aren't you embarrassing her?

How can you refer to Miss Zhao as a thing?

But my most precious thing

is Mr. Sun.

This...

I'm honored to meet all of you today.

This is my most precious social experience.

So

Director Sun and Manager Yang won't blame me, right?

No, of course not.

So who lost this time?

The least impressive one should be Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan, drink up!

I'm sorry,

driving under the influence is illegal.

I need to drive back later,

so I can't drink.

I'll use tea instead of alcohol

to toast everyone.

Fine.

With so many old classmates here,

you won't even show some respect.

Exactly.

You took a taxi here earlier.

Don't think I didn't see that.

Don't try to weasel out of this.

If a car shows up for you later, I'll call you 'grandpa.'

You really enjoy being the grandson, don't you?

Someone who treasures a worthless sachet given by others

could never be a winner.

Is this even a reunion?

How can you act like this?

This is too much.

We were all classmates after all.

That's not fair.

Director Sun organized this gathering

and spent real money on it.

Too bad,

I don't have my keys with me.

Keep pretending.

If I don't have it, I don't have it.

Hello, Mr. Ye.

Mr. Chen Feng has brought your car here

and says it's been serviced for you.

Come in.

Here are your car keys.

Alright,

I'll satisfy your desire to be the grandson.

Don't try to fool people with a lighter.

Oh,

why don't we go to the parking lot and check right now?

I'm not going.

Stay away from me.

Is having a car such a big deal?

Being called 'grandpa' for the first time,

I do feel it's quite something.

Enough,

stop this nonsense.

Let's put an end to this matter.

You sure know when to step in and mediate.

Why didn't you speak up earlier?

If you're going to take this so seriously...

You're really young and reckless.

You haven't experienced enough in life

to understand what it means to take a step back for greater possibilities.

Since Director Sun has agreed,

go ahead and say it.

Grandpa Ye.

Your voice is too soft,

pronunciation not quite standard,

lacking strength,

do better next time.

Hello, it's me.

What?

Yes, yes,

I'll handle the transfer procedures tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you, Secretary Zhou.

Brother,

what's the good news?

Miss Gu's Secretary Zhou just called.

She said there's an issue with Pengcheng Group,

and tomorrow my father and I need to handle the transfer.

So Director Sun is going to get rich.

Don't forget about your brother.

No wonder I heard Miss Gu booked the entire restaurant yesterday.

So it was to discuss the handover ceremony with you.

Exactly.

During our discussion yesterday,

my father was a bit reluctant,

but

for the development of Wufeng County,

he reluctantly agreed

and will complete the handover with Ms. Gu tomorrow.

Wow!

Does that mean you'll be managing two big companies now?

What do you mean two?

Director Sun could handle ten major companies.

Stop flattering me.

We really didn't want to take over Pengcheng Group,

but Ms. Gu begged repeatedly,

so my father agreed as a favor to her.

Hahaha!

What's so funny?

What are you laughing at?

I'm sorry,

I just imagined Gu Qingcheng begging desperately

and found it amusing.

Someday

I'll have her perform that for me.

You think you're entitled

to call Gu Qingcheng by her full name?

Exactly!

Ms. Gu is a big shot in Maiqing,

and you want her to perform for you someday?

Yeah right,

as if a top executive of Maiqing's premier corporation

would need to beg a small manager from Wufeng's Pengcheng Group

over and over again.

Ms. Gu is desperately seeking talent.

How could someone like you understand that?

Actually,

the lobby manager at the hotel Ms. Gu booked yesterday

is Zhang Linman from our class.

Why don't we call her on speaker

and ask if Ms. Gu treated you to dinner yesterday?

Nonsense!

You're questioning Director Sun.

Who do you think you are?

What business is it of yours whether I ate dinner yesterday?

Ridiculous.

You should teach Ye Bufan a lesson

before he gets too cocky.

That's easy enough.

I'll just bring a few of my guys.

If we're going to play this game,

let's make it interesting,

shall we?

Since they're showing off,

let's get out first,

pay the bill,

and then deal with them.

Alright.

I'll go ahead first,

you hurry up too.

Where are you going?

Aren't you coming home with me?

You jerk!

Go wherever you want to play,

I can't be bothered to care anymore.

Miss, please don't leave!

What do you want?

Don't bother me.

Aren't they showing off?

Let's get out first,

pay the bill,

and then find them.

Okay.

I'll go ahead first.

You hurry up too.

Alright.

Where are you going?

Aren't you coming home with me?

You jerk.

Go wherever you want.

I don't even care anymore.

Miss, please don't leave.

What?

Don't bother me.

I'm sorry,

but you haven't paid yet.

You can't leave.

Pay?

What am I paying for?

If you want payment, ask those three people.

Mr. Yang just canceled the full payment order.

Mr. Ye and the others requested to split the bill equally.

They've already paid their portions.

Now you're the only one who hasn't paid.

Sun Dongwei is my boyfriend.

Can't you charge it to his account?

Of course Mr. Sun could handle it,

but does he know you're his girlfriend?

Looking for trouble, huh?

Just you wait.

Sun Dongwei! Answer my damn call!

Thanks for your help today.

Otherwise,

that bastard Sun Dongwei would've tricked me again.

Just be more careful next time.

It's getting late.

You should head back first.

I'll drive home.

If Mr. Sun and Mr. Yang have already left,

their bill

will need to be settled by you first.

What?

Don't rush to smash the car.

This car is brand new.

It would be troublesome if damaged.

What's going on?

My body wasn't affected by the evil energy.

Why?

They weren't using evil energy to strengthen their defense.

Why did you come back?

I knew that Yang bastard wouldn't let it go.

After taking Xiaodie home,

I rushed back here.

Your timing is perfect.

As it happens,

I've already eliminated two wrong answers.

What wrong answers?

My techniques weren't powerful enough.

It's not an issue with my body,

nor are their bodies too strong.

So the correct answer is:

someone has set up a hidden formation here,

constantly draining my spiritual energy.

He's discovered it.

What are you doing?

Now the rhythm is right.

How did you do that?

Teach me.

The people Yang Jincai hired

are indeed unreliable.

Is it necessary to completely destroy your classmate?

And you want me to bring that thing?

Dad, I've checked.

The Chen family suffered because of him.

If we don't teach him a lesson,

how can we prove that in Wufeng County,

we're stronger than the Chens?

Only by dealing with him

will Pengcheng Group's people respect us.

You have a point.

We certainly cannot lose.

Stand back.

I never expected

the Sun family would have such a precious treasure.

Give it everything!

Stop!

Mr... Mr. Gu.

Out for a late night stroll?

Yes, and if I hadn't,

you'd have turned Wufeng into a mess.

Where did you get this formation disk?

This... this is just a trinket from an antique shop.

Do you think I'm blind?

I've repeatedly forbidden these underhanded methods.

You haven't listened at all, have you?

Mr. Gu, I heard from his son

that you repeatedly invited him

to work at your company as a talent.

Shouldn't he get some privileges?

That's not true, not true at all.

Don't listen to his nonsense.

Sun Yongjiang,

hand over the formation disk.

Go to HR tomorrow to process your resignation.

This matter ends here.

You know Mr. Gu?

Yes, I do.

Thank you for today.

A lot has happened recently.

I'll find you tomorrow for a proper talk.

Alright, I'll go first.

You've caused me trouble,

now the treasure is gone,

and so is your job.

I'll beat you to death, you wastrel!

I don't know how to use this formation disk anyway.

Here, take it.

Mr. Ye is truly generous,

destroying such an unusual treasure without hesitation.

This thing is powered by negative energy.

Using it spreads that negative energy.

Keeping it would only harm people.

By the way,

how did you happen to come here?

Your business is my business.

In Wufeng County,

anything I want to know,

I will definitely find out.

Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Gu.

Please give Mr. Yang a message when you go back.

Deal with that sauna of his soon.

I'm serious.

By the way.

How did you get here?

Your business is my business.

In Wufeng County,

whatever I want to know,

I will definitely find out.

Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Gu.

Please give Mr. Yang a message when you go back.

Deal with that sauna of his soon.

I'm serious.

Late-night snack?

No thanks. I need to talk with my brother tomorrow.

I need to prepare tonight.

Perfect. I have a pile of things to do tomorrow morning.

I'm off.

Call me if you need help sorting things out.

When it's all over,

you won't even treat me to a meal.

Mr. Gu, you came here on your own.

He didn't ask for you.

You think your salary is too high?

I'm out of options.

Master,

it's all up to you now.

So that's how I met Mr. Gu.

As for all those miscellaneous matters before,

Hmm, hmm.

I eventually solved them all one by one.

That puts my mind at ease.

I always knew you were destined for greatness, Xiaofan.

You were bound to make waves sooner or later.

Unlike Sun Dongwei and Yang Jincai.

Oh right.

Yang Jincai's Holy Water Sauna caught fire.

Did you know?

If he hadn't given me trouble last night

and instead followed my advice

to thoroughly investigate his sauna,

he might have been able to keep his business.

I heard when the fire broke out,

all those shady characters he was hiding

ran outside.

ran outside.

And some illegal businesses were exposed.

Yang Jincai was taken away by the police on the spot as the owner.

Forget it.

Let's not talk about him.

I think there's something wrong with your health.

Come on, give me your hand.

Let me check your pulse.

Your medical skills are impressive.

Brother.

You can even tell that.

My medical skills are beyond question now.

I can not only tell your internal heat is excessive,

though you look stronger than before,

your foundation is weak.

Let me give you some advice.

There's something off about Zhao Xiaodie.

You need to be careful.

How can you tell that just by taking her pulse?

She may have done some things wrong,

but she genuinely cares about me.

When I was feeling unwell,

she went to great lengths

to find the best doctors for me.

She even lost weight from all the running around.

Fine.

Just be aware of it yourself.

Daqiang's yang energy is almost at the critical point.

It seems that Zhao Xiaodie

is about to make her move.

In our previous encounters,

this woman never got the upper hand.

Why does she still dare to challenge me?

Never mind.

I'll follow them and see.

Daqiang,

the master healer is inside.

Greetings, Master Healer.

Excessive internal heat,

strong outside but weak inside,

insomnia, weakness,

and frequent dizziness.

This condition of yours

seems to have been dragging on for months.

Master Healer,

your reputation is well-deserved.

I've been to several hospitals these past few months,

they all said I was healthy

and that I was imagining things,

but I truly feel terrible.

Fortunately,

you found me today.

Otherwise, within a week,

your yang energy would surge upward,

your blood vessels would rupture,

and you would certainly die.

Please save me, Master Healer!

Don't panic.

Although your condition is severe,

it's not difficult to treat.

I have a special prescription here

that's perfect for your symptoms.

Xiaodie.

Yes, I'm here.

Go to the back yard and get the medicine I prepared.

His symptoms are exactly as I predicted yesterday.

I prepared the medicine for you early this morning.

Thank you for your trouble, Master Healer.

About the payment...

I won't charge you.

This girl Xiaodie,

if you treat her well,

that will be the best repayment to me.

Thank you, Master Healer.

Daqiang,

come take your medicine now.

That's it.

I feel much better already.

What's

happening?

Why can't I

move anymore?

Xiaodie,

you've done well.

My careful

planning wasn't in vain.

Master, you're too modest.

Your scheme

was absolutely flawless.

Xiaodie.

What do you mean?

Why do you think I was interested in you?

It's only because you have that special yang constitution

which perfectly suits our Yinji Sect's needs.

That's the only reason I've been your girlfriend for these few months.

Otherwise, with no money and no looks,

why would I ever be interested in you?

Could it be...

Young man.

I'll give you a chance.

I'll teach you how to identify people with yang constitution.

As long as you lure them to us.

I promise

within six months in Wufeng,

you'll become someone important.

Making me harm others?

That's impossible.

You're so stubborn.

That's why I don't like you.

Your brother has already transformed himself and risen to success.

If you still want to be his friend,

shouldn't you have some achievements of your own?

I'm giving you two choices.

I can't do it.

I, Gao Daqiang, may not have many talents,

but I still have a conscience.

Then what awaits you

is having your yang energy drained by us,

becoming a barely surviving wreck.

Of course.

Actually, I'm more interested in

that skilled and daring brother of yours.

Xiaofan, run!

Shut up!

Among the four people in this courtyard,

you're the only one who doesn't understand the situation.

I believe I warned you

not to touch Daqiang.

Are you really looking to die?

We're not looking to die.

It's you who step by step

insisted on bullying our Yinji Sect.

I haven't even settled the score with you about the black bear.

Who would have thought

you'd dare to deliver yourself to our doorstep.

So you were the one controlling the black bear.

However,

you evil practitioners

actually harm innocent people.

You deserve to be wiped out completely.

Very well.

Go, Xiaodie.

Teach him a lesson.

I...

It's impossible.

I only know a bit of mind control.

In a direct fight,

I'm not even as good as the black bear.

I can't possibly handle this.

I didn't ask for your opinion.

It seems our previous encounter

has made him more cautious.

Master!

No! No!

Please don't!

This is...

Young man.

I've already locked your meridians with my killing energy.

Although it cost me a disciple,

you're much more delicious than that Gao Daqiang.

Young man.

I've already locked your meridians with my dark energy.

Although it's a bit wasteful of my disciple.

You

are much more delicious than Gaodaqiang.

What powerful energy!

It truly makes one's mouth water.

Why?

How is this possible?

Nothing is impossible.

Diyan Heart.

This saves me a lot of trouble.

Come and take it if you can.

I invited an honored guest,

of course I have some tricks up my sleeve.

Every attack you make against me,

I'll draw yang energy from your friend to defend against it.

The more fiercely we fight,

the faster he dies.

I had Xiaodie fight you several times,

I've already figured out most of your capabilities.

You'd better accept your fate.

Her weakness is in her back.

How dare you betray your sect!

If you show no mercy, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Die!

My weakness

is just a way to lure enemies

to the angle I'm most comfortable attacking from.

May you die a horrible death!

How many people have said that to my face?

Unfortunately,

they all died before me.

What is that?

Before coming in today,

I already set up formation points all around.

Now you're a rat in a trap,

surrendering quietly is your only way out.

Have you forgotten?

This is the Xuanqi Covering Spirit Formation,

I'm sure you've heard this name before.

Damn it!

It's blocking the yang energy extraction.

Not good,

the dark energy is out of control.

I...

If you chase after me,

Gaodaqiang will certainly die.

Damn,

this evil cultivator is so vicious.

Brother...

Enough,

don't waste your energy.

My body

has already

reached its limit.

Shut up.

I'm a doctor.

I haven't given up on treatment.

And neither should you.

Is there still hope for me?

With me here,

you not only have hope,

you'll become stronger.

This is the Xuanyin Pill I made.

Your yang energy is out of control now.

It will help balance your yang energy.

I'll do whatever you say.

Bear with it.

I'll use mystic energy to strengthen your meridians,

and teach you the Qiankun Body Refinement technique

to strengthen your body.

Balance yin and yang,

refine the body with heaven and earth,

concentrate mystic energy,

reforge mortal flesh.

Finally, it's done.

That's it?

I feel that surging energy inside me

has calmed down now.

Now your yin and yang energies are balanced,

your body is many times stronger than before.

That's great!

Xiaofan!

Is this how you repay kindness?

I'm sorry!

You transferred so much mystic energy to me.

I didn't know it would be so powerful.

Save me.

Daqiang.

Please save her.

She almost killed you earlier.

I know.

She just tried to kill me again.

I'm sorry.

But Xiaodie is my first love.

You really are...

Forget it. I guess that's what friends are for.

Daqiang, thank you.

For the rest of my life...

That won't be necessary.

After he heals you,

we'll never see each other again.

Daqiang.

Thank you.

For the rest of my life

I won't need it.

After he cures you

We'll never see each other again.

What are you after?

She tried to kill you and you forgave her,

Why not give her another chance?

Before today

I just wanted to make money,

Be with Xiaodie,

And take care of my mother.

But today I realized

That she has never

Really loved me.

Enough,

Let's not talk about her.

What will you do next?

Why don't you

Come back to Maiqing with me?

About this,

I need to discuss it with my mother.

Alright.

I'll stay in Wufeng for two more days,

Contact me when you've decided.

Cheers.

Xiaoda has passed the assessment

And become the chief of Wufeng County Police Station.

This is a great occasion for our Ouyang family.

After such a long streak of bad luck,

Xiaoda becoming the chief,

Our Ouyang family has finally made it in Wufeng.

Exactly.

Our three families were bullied terribly by our eldest sister's kid last time.

The two million we had

Was taken back by the Chen family,

And my daughter's marriage was called off.

Recent events have been truly infuriating.

As for me,

I used to have no influence

And couldn't get things done.

But now I've finally been promoted,

My current position gives me some authority.

Dealing with the Ye family

Is no big deal now.

That's good.

The relocation compensation for the Ouyang family's old house

We can't lose a single penny.

That's right.

This grievance,

We can't let it go no matter what.

Is there any way

to put him in prison

and sentence him to 8 or 10 years?

That would make things easier for us.

Auntie.

You must be joking.

I can't decide who gets sentenced.

If we can't arrest him,

other methods won't work either.

Even the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce is on his side now.

Then what should we do?

Reason with that sharp-tongued kid?

We can't win an argument with him.

If words don't work,

and force doesn't work either.

This Ye fellow

is a tough nut to crack, true,

but

why should we start with the hardest part?

You mean finding a breakthrough with Xiaolan?

Hahaha!

I'll be there shortly.

Hello,

Director Wang.

Ah,

I'm in Wufeng.

I'm checking your wife's pulse.

We'll talk when I get back.

My wife finally got pregnant

and she's having severe symptoms.

We can't risk anything going wrong.

Where in Wufeng?

I'll come directly to you.

Alright,

I'll send you the address.

See you this afternoon.

Quite a big operation here.

What's up?

Something wrong?

It's like this.

Someone reported seeing you in a street fight.

Please come with us

to make a statement.

Don't be so polite.

It makes me uncomfortable.

I prefer your defiant attitude.

By the way,

why are they all in uniform

but you're not?

I didn't want to create a bad impression.

Let's talk in the car.

Making money is the priority.

I'll endure it.

Sis,

we were wrong before.

We apologize.

Yes,

it was all our fault.

What's gotten into you two?

Just say what you want.

I need to find Xiaofan.

No rush.

Today let's have a nice family reunion.

Family?

Something terrible has happened!

What?

What happened?

Xiaolan,

look at this video.

What on earth is going on?

I heard that

he got into an argument at a class reunion

and ended up burning down their store.

Even with all the fire trucks, they couldn't put it out.

No way.

Xiaofan isn't that kind of person.

Many people in that hotel heard it.

He wanted his classmate to get rid of the bathhouse.

But he wouldn't listen.

So he got angry and set it on fire.

Not only that,

a woman witnessed him starting the fire.

And guess what?

He didn't even spare the woman.

He beat her up.

Who told you all this?

Xiaofan couldn't possibly do that.

The old Xiaofan would never do such things.

But hasn't he changed recently?

Think about it.

Those people from the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce,

what kind of people are they?

He's all friendly with these people.

Nothing good can come of it.

Right, exactly.

As the saying goes,

it takes three years to learn good habits,

but only three days to learn bad ones.

So what should we do?

Well, we

have some connections in Wufeng.

We can help you handle this matter with some money.

It's possible.

How much will it cost?

I don't have much money.

I only have a card with 50,000 yuan.

How can 50,000 be enough?

Here's what we'll do.

This is a property transfer contract.

Sign it.

I'll take this contract to ask people to help with this matter.

Okay.

Ma'am,

right here.

Sign this part first.

If we're too late,

and Xiaofan goes to jail,

they'll seize all your family assets.

You won't get a penny then.

And your son will be in prison for decades.

Wait a minute.

Sign quickly.

Hurry up and sign!

Mrs. Ouyang,

I'm here to see Dr. Ye.

I overheard your conversation just now,

all of it.

I think something's fishy here.

Who are you?

Who let you in?

Exactly.

- Get out. - Get out.

I'm the Chief of Maiqing Police Department,

Wang Jianfeng.

I suspect you're committing fraud.

Ah!

Hahaha!

It's all a misunderstanding.

We're really just concerned about Xiaofan.

We're just gathering together

to find a way to get him out.

That's not right.

I haven't even seen Xiaofan,

and you're rushing me to sign documents.

We're going to use our connections.

How can we do that without money?

Trying to buy your way out of a crime

is impossible.

Well...

Let me see

what exactly you're trying to get Mrs. Ouyang

to sign.

Wait.

Let me see.

What exactly are you trying to trick Ms. Ouyang

into signing?

Wait.

Um.

From now on,

everything you say will be used as evidence.

The content on this paper is quite interesting.

The first page is a transfer contract for Zui Jiangnan Restaurant.

The second page is a confession

stating that Ye Bufan and Ouyang Lan conspired

to hire assassins

to kill Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun.

Ah.

So that's what this is about.

What's going on?

This must be something I printed

when I was studying law.

How did it get mixed in here?

There are only two pages

and you still got them mixed up.

Feel free to speak up.

We police won't wrongfully accuse an innocent person,

nor will we let a guilty one go free.

Well.

You're an officer from Maiqing,

you have no jurisdiction over us.

If anyone's in charge,

it's Chief Ouyang Da from our Wufeng Police Station.

Oh.

The station chief,

that's who you're counting on.

Get me the phone number of the Wufeng Police Department Chief.

Oh, right,

send some more officers over here.

Do you have internet here?

My loading bar isn't moving at all.

The station is in a remote location,

so the signal isn't great.

That's fine,

let's put the phones away

and just chat for a bit.

Sure,

I'm curious too.

Go ahead,

what are you planning

to do with my mother's and my property this time?

Seems you've always misunderstood us relatives.

Today I'm really just following procedure,

asking some questions.

Don't be so resistant,

okay?

It's all in the record.

If you can't read, maybe take some classes.

Well,

according to procedure,

we need to ask several times

to avoid any oversights.

Your classmate Yang Jincai insists

that you were involved in burning down his sauna.

What do you say?

I insist that you were involved in Ouyang Hui's death.

What does Ouyang Hui's death have to do with me?

You need evidence to back up your claims.

So you do know about it.

I thought you didn't know.

Next question.

What about your fight

with a woman in black?

Why do you keep repeating yourself?

You need evidence.

You're not just questioning me

based on hearsay again, are you?

This is all procedure.

Just answer honestly.

If you want to follow procedure,

I'll make a call

and get a lawyer to talk to you.

Ye Bufan,

this is a police station.

You need to understand

that you're a suspect.

There's a time limit for suspects to cooperate with investigations,

and you're about to exceed it.

Ye Bufan,

don't push it.

I haven't even made any unreasonable demands yet.

Today's matter

must be handled by the book.

I should be the one thanking you.

They disregarded family ties

and tried to send me and Xiao Fan to prison.

They got what they deserved.

These relatives of yours

were probably trying

to take advantage of the information gap between you and Dr. Ye

to commit crimes.

Will Xiao Fan be okay?

He should be fine.

Unless

they plan to force a false confession from Dr. Ye.

Ah!

We must hurry.

I'll go there right away.

What's going on here?

Chief Wang,

Captain Ouyang just gave me such a warm welcome

that I couldn't refuse his hospitality.

Chief Wang,

you must help me!

He assaulted an officer!

How could he assault anyone

while he's here?

He just attacked me.

It hurts so much.

Hmph.

You don't have a single injury on you.

This is clearly a false accusation.

Moreover,

half an hour ago,

you collaborated with Ouyang De and others

to commit fraud.

I've already spoken with your Director Han.

Prepare to be suspended pending investigation.

No,

please don't!

I just became the captain!

It's a misunderstanding!

There's no misunderstanding.

You're suspected of abusing public resources,

extortion,

and falsely accusing others.

Director Han has agreed to let Maiqing Police Station investigate.

I'll make you understand

what judicial justice really means.

Xiaofan.

I know you're capable.

Save me. Save me.

Hmph.

After all the mess you've created,

I'm being charitable by not kicking you when you're down.

If you really want to save yourself,

it's simple:

behave well in prison

and try to get your sentence reduced.

Behave yourself.

Dr. Ye,

sorry to trouble you again.

What's wrong?

Since she came to Wufeng,

her morning sickness has gotten worse.

If you hadn't come,

my sister-in-law would have been fine by now.

It's just from the bumpy bus ride.

She'll be fine with rest at home.

After you finish your case,

I'll give you a ride

so your sister-in-law won't have to endure another bumpy trip.

I told you it was nothing.

Daqiang.

Are you sure about this?

No problem.

Just bring your mother over,

I'll arrange the accommodation.

See you later.

Have your sister-in-law rest well at home.

I'll prescribe some medicine to help with her pregnancy,

and have someone deliver it soon.

Thank you, Dr. Ye.

Don't mention it.

Thanks to Brother Wang this time.

Otherwise,

my mother would have been scammed by those people.

I should be the one thanking you.

Now.

Okay.

I'll go.

The patient is one of Harbor City's newly ranked top ten tycoons,

the renowned jewelry magnate Mr. Gao.

That Gao Jiajun?

I've read about him before.

With his wealth,

wouldn't getting treatment be easy?

Why come to Maiqing?

Recently, our Maiqing

has had many miraculous medical cases, hasn't it?

So he came here

to try the legendary miracle doctor.

Oh.

My grandfather gave my cousin and me a test:

whoever can cure Gao Jiajun

will be the new CEO of the Qin family.

Your grandfather is using this to select a CEO?

Shouldn't he choose the one with better performance?

The old man's thoughts,

I'm not sure either.

But my cousin has already invited Lin Pingtao from Huichun Pavilion,

and my choice is you.

You must take this seriously,

because this is not only my opportunity

but yours as well.

Madam,

Miss Qin has brought a doctor.

Miss Qin,

you brought such a novice doctor

to treat my husband?

Mrs. Gao,

this is Dr. Ye, the miracle doctor.

Your cousin is much more reliable than you.

The elderly Dr. Lin he invited

has already diagnosed that

my husband just has a slight cold.

He just took Dr. Lin's medicine,

and his condition has stabilized.

We're too late.

Let's go.

Someone doesn't want Mr. Gao to be saved.

We should leave.

What do you mean?

Mr. Gao will start feeling chest pain in three days,

in seven days it will spread throughout his body,

in ten days he will vomit blood,

and in half a month, he will die bleeding from seven orifices.

To treat illness,

I need the patient's complete trust.

If he wants to live,

have him come find me himself when the time comes.

Qiao Fei,

teach them a lesson.

Forget it.

Just two clueless young people lashing out in embarrassment.

It would be beneath us to bother with them.

They wouldn't even let us examine him.

It's really infuriating.

It's fine.

If he wants to survive,

he'll come on his own.

Mr. Mu, I'm sorry,

this room has already been reserved.

You can't stay here.

Chuchu, long time no see.

Seems like fate is bringing us together.

Chuchu,

it's been three years

since we last parted.

You've grown more beautiful over these three years.

Do you know that?

This time,

I requested a transfer back just for you.

I'm staying in Maiqing for good now.

Brother Mu,

long time no see.

Let me introduce my boyfriend, Ye Bufan.

Hello.

Let me introduce myself.

I am

Mu Gaofeng,

captain of the Maiqing Special Intelligence Unit,

and Chuchu and I grew up together.

We just grew up together,

we weren't childhood sweethearts.

Hello,

I'm Ye Bufan.

Enough,

no need to continue.

What you do

means nothing to me.

No need for introductions.

I have no interest in knowing you.

Mu Gaofeng,

how dare you speak like that!

I'm just telling the truth.

This guy

isn't worthy of being your boyfriend.

While I

am now the captain of the Special Intelligence Unit

and will be promoted to director in the future.

Who does he think he is?

Sounds pretty impressive.

Good that you understand.

Let me give you some advice:

leave Chuchu early,

don't waste too much time

on an unattainable goal.

Can't help it,

Chuchu likes me

not you.

What you value

is what we care least about.

You...

You what?

I love Bufan.

In my eyes,

he's a thousand times better than you.

I don't care why you came back to Maiqing,

but let me make this clear:

Mu Gaofeng,

there will never be anything between us.

We're not eating here.

Let's go.

Captain,

the team has finished changing.

Our mission is:

we've received intelligence

that foreign mercenaries

plan to kidnap Miss Qin Chuchu tonight.

You'll go undercover and extract her first.

Don't reveal your Special Intelligence Unit identity.

Once I'm in position,

we'll capture the criminals.

Then our mission to protect Chuchu will be complete.

Understood.

Go.

Action at 9:30.

Hmph.

Is that for real?

If you don't want to lose your job, execute the mission properly.

Later,

have the guys double-check the route again

and don't mess this up.

Boss,

it's just kidnapping a rich girl.

We've already scoped out the place this morning.

The Qin Group is having a celebration tonight.

The building security is practically non-existent.

We'll get the money easily.

It's exactly because it seems too easy

that I feel something's wrong.

Everyone stay alert.

Xiaofan,

I'm sorry.

We didn't finish our meal.

I'll treat you next time.

Don't move.

Chuchu,

what's wrong?

Chuchu.

Cooperate nicely

and I won't hurt you.

This woman is really beautiful.

No wonder the captain fell for her.

Careful! It's a trap!

Grab the woman

and let's get out of here first.

Hmph.

Director Wang.

This is...

The Special Intelligence Bureau arrived first.

They have higher authority to decide how to proceed.

Don't act rashly.

Don't disrupt my arrangements.

Everything is under control.

Hmph.

Hmph.

Director Wang,

has Chuchu been rescued?

Chuchu is protected by my team members.

All unauthorized personnel leave immediately.

This is...

He wants to pursue Qin Chuchu,

showing off in front of me, huh?

Everyone put your guns away,

they're my people.

With me here,

everything is under control.

So Mr. Sixi is trying to trick us.

Let's not talk about this now.

Send someone who can make decisions

to come over and talk.

Boss,

something's wrong.

Shut up,

they're on our side.

Oh my God,

the captain is going to rescue her single-handedly.

Miss Qin,

the captain is risking his life for you.

This is the power of true love.

Stop fooling around,

something's wrong.

This disguise skill is really impressive,

I couldn't even tell.

I understand your intentions.

Wanting me to be the hero,

but your job is to protect her.

Don't complicate things further.

Can we leave now?

I asked you to protect her,

not to kidnap her.

After what you've done,

how could the criminals possibly show up again?

Hmph,

there are other criminals.

Release her immediately,

or prepare to face the captain's wrath.

Boss, he's so weak.

You dare to beat up the captain!

Get away!

Did I say you could speak?

Did I say you could get up?

Shuangshuang,

get ready.

I'm giving you three minutes.

Send two cars over

to take us to the dock.

For every minute delayed,

I'll randomly damage one part of your Captain Mu.

Go prepare the cars first.

Shuangshuang,

what do you think?

These people are experienced

and their positioning clearly shows they're guarding against snipers.

Plus, they're skilled fighters.

If we approach rashly,

it's hard to guarantee the hostage's safety.

I'll drive.

No way.

This is a matter for the police and Special Intelligence Bureau.

Xiaofan's skills far exceed those three criminals,

and with his civilian identity,

he won't raise their suspicions.

I can vouch for him.

One minute left.

Ah,

who are you people anyway?

Know your limits

and stay safe.

You'll come with me later.

The three minutes are up.

Stop!

Everyone out of the car!

Hands up!

Keep the engine running!

Captain Mu's move was absolutely brilliant,

truly impressive!

Shut up.

You'll pay for this when we get back.

Number Three,

bring the car over here.

Get down!

Don't move!

Good work, Captain Mu.

Sir,

we found unidentified injured personnel in the Qin Corporation building.

There are signs of a struggle at the scene,

and it appears they were injured by the Rattlesnake gang.

Captain Mu,

were your men up there?

Well...

The situation is this:

we received intelligence earlier

that someone was planning to kidnap Miss Qin.

Therefore,

I sent Guan Chao from our team

to provide advance protection with his men.

Unfortunately,

the enemies were too cunning,

and my good brothers

suffered a terrible fate.

But even so,

my brothers

significantly drained these criminals' morale and energy,

paving the way for our subsequent operations.

Indeed.

I remember

the first group who came in said

they wanted me to go with them

and wouldn't hurt me.

Ahem,

because when we received the intelligence,

time was critical,

we could only operate covertly,

so we had to disguise ourselves to take you away.

Wow,

you can be so righteous about your incompetence.

I suggest you get your head examined.

What do you mean?

What are you implying?

Your Special Intelligence Bureau received intelligence

but made operational errors

that put my girlfriend's life

in serious danger.

When handling the situation,

you couldn't even tell kidnappers from your own team members.

You failed the mission

and yet you're making all kinds of excuses.

So I suggest

you quit the Special Affairs Bureau

and get your head examined at a hospital.

The Bureau's arrangements

are not for you to criticize.

Enough.

They've just conducted a preliminary interrogation.

These kidnappers are foreign mercenaries.

The case needs further investigation.

Everyone get back to work.

Dismissed.

What's wrong?

These men said

they accepted the kidnapping job on the dark web

to abduct Qin Chuchu.

The person who posted the job

is called Mr. Sixi.

Sixi.

We can't identify someone from the dark web,

so it's difficult to determine who's behind this.

I understand.

I'll take Chuchu home first

and have them increase their security.

Keep an eye out on your end

for any new bounties targeting Chuchu.

Also,

make sure you protect yourself.

Go ahead.

Just passing through is fine,

so my newly purchased courtyard doesn't get wrecked.

Just pass by

so my newly bought courtyard doesn't get wrecked.

Everyone,

this is my new house,

could you fight somewhere else?

Who's that?

Not sure,

it doesn't matter,

we can delete him after completing the mission.

Not bad,

seems like he just broke through to the Xuan level.

Ha,

ha,

you look really funny like that.

You can't possibly win,

come with us quietly.

I'm not afraid of inhuman creatures like you.

You ugly monster,

how dare you talk about us like that.

Sima Wei,

kneel and surrender.

Now

is your only way to survive.

Dream on.

Ah!

How pitiful,

soon on our mission completion list

your name will appear.

You go,

the owner of this courtyard needs to be deleted.

Run!

I'll hold them off for you.

Kill him.

Watch out!

Their weakness is in the throat.

Looking for death?

Not necessarily.

Who exactly are you?

This is my home.

This doesn't look good.

Lie still.

Let go!

Don't move

or don't blame me if you die.

You,

who are you?

I'm a doctor.

A doctor who can fight like you

I've never seen before.

Since you're awake,

let's begin the next stage of treatment.

Feel it carefully.

You were poisoned with yin toxin

The blood will continue to damage your heart.

My blood contains yang-attribute mystical energy

that can neutralize the yin toxin.

Why are you sucking again?

Doctor,

I need

a higher dose.

Your internal energy is chaotic.

My blood can effectively regulate the flow of energy within you.

Just accept the treatment properly.

Don't move around.

The makeup covering marks on your face

must be related to your cultivation technique.

This is caused by practicing the Guiyuan Scripture.

Can you cure it?

Once the toxins are cleared from your body,

I'll teach you the White Jade Maiden technique.

With consistent practice,

it will not only enhance your cultivation,

but also beautify your appearance

and make your skin smooth.

Wow!

That's it.

You're better now.

Remember to continue practicing at home

to strengthen your foundation.

Don't do that.

Relax.

Leave the rest to me.

I need to repay your kindness.

Master,

I've failed you

and embarrassed the Special Intelligence Bureau.

I've looked into it.

The mastermind behind this kidnapping

is a guy named Ye Bufan,

who hired the Rattlesnake criminal gang to do it.

But we don't have enough evidence right now.

We still need to-

Since we've already identified the mastermind,

why don't you just arrest him and bring him in?

In our bureau, we act

without hesitation.

If you've made a judgment, act immediately

before the suspect escapes.

Yes,

I'll take a team to arrest him right away.

Ye Bufan,

you're dead meat.

What are you doing?

What else would I be doing?

Training together, of course.

I've broken through to the mid-Xuan level.

I wasn't lying, was I?

Come on, let's continue.

Stop, stop, stop.

Tell me first.

What exactly happened last night?

Since your blood is already in my body,

you're one of us now.

I might as well tell you.

No, wait.

We don't have that kind of relationship.

You're a grown man,

stop being so shy.

My name is Sima Wei.

You can call me Huniu.

Just talk business,

keep your hands to yourself.

I'm from Xuanyuan Chamber.

In our country,

Xuanyuan Chamber and Special Intelligence Bureau

are two highly specialized departments.

Continue.

Our Xuanyuan Chamber is divided into Xuan Division,

Wu Division,

and Bing Division.

As for me,

I'm a member of the Wu Division.

The history of Wu Division is quite epic.

Stop right there.

First tell me about last night.

Who were those people chasing you?

Those guys

are genetically modified humans created by high technology.

Genetic modification?

Yes.

Genetic modification.

They're all monsters created by modifying human genes.

All about technology and ruthlessness.

Sorry for the trouble last night.

Since we already have this kind of relationship,

feel free to ask if you need anything.

What kind of relationship?

However,

I do have something to ask of you.

Speak.

I'm an orphan.

Abandoned by my parents as a child.

Can you help me find out who my parents are?

Also,

my brother Gao Daqiang,

he doesn't know who his father is either.

Send me the details later.

I'll look into it for you.

By the way.

Are those monsters from yesterday completely burned?

I need to collect some of their remains for testing.

They're all in the yard.

I was too busy saving you yesterday.

You'd better take all of them away.

I heard the Special Affairs Bureau went to arrest Dr. Ye at the Yunding Mountain villa.

I've already called them.

They said they're just doing their job.

It should be fine.

Dr. Ye made that Mu kid lose face.

I'm afraid he won't play by the rules.

Whatever.

Let's go there first.

Ye Bufan.

You're suspected of illegal dealings with foreign mercenaries.

We're taking you to the Special Affairs Bureau for questioning.

You lost face.

So you're abusing your power for personal revenge.

Cut the crap.

Just surrender.

Captain Mu.

Please show some mercy.

Mr. He.

You're no longer a public official.

Let me give you some advice.

Don't meddle in affairs beyond your jurisdiction.

Captain Mu.

Dr. Ye couldn't have broken any laws.

This must be a misunderstanding.

Take him away.

Who dares to touch my people?

Who are you?

How dare you interfere with Special Affairs Bureau business.

You already got beaten up earlier this year and you've forgotten?

Little Mu.

You're...

Sima Wei.

Aren't you...

Our Special Affairs Bureau is conducting official business.

Mind your own business.

Old Wu.

Your idiot disciple dares to arrest my people without evidence.

What do you say?

Understood.

Withdraw immediately.

Mr. Ye.

I made a mistake this time.

I'll leave right away.

Take your people.

Get out.

Wait.

You broke my door.

You can't just leave like that.

Pay for the door first.

You're extorting...

I can also pay you a visit to settle all our accounts.

Yes.

I'll get someone to take care of it right away.

Ye Bufan.

Where are you?

It's urgent.

I'm coming to find you now.

What's wrong?

I'll send you my location.

Alright.

Xiaofan.

I'm leaving now.

I'll come teach you my skills when I have time.

Ahem.

I didn't expect.

You to be so impressive.

My family is a first-class household in the capital after all.

Yet there are still people who haven't heard of us.

Your Maiqing is really such a small place.

Your first-class family

should have enough resources,

so why are you practicing Guiyuan techniques that don't suit you?

My grandfather wants me to be gentle and quiet.

He doesn't allow me to learn martial arts,

so I came out on my own and found some random technique to practice.

Anyway, I'll solve the fighting problem first.

As for the side effects,

technology is so advanced

that they can always be fixed.

You really should control your temper,

or you'll have trouble finding a husband later.

I'm now

beautiful as a flower.

Doesn't that make your heart flutter?

If there's nothing else,

we'll take our leave now.

I already have a girlfriend.

I was just joking.

Look how scared you got.

I'll leave you alone for now.

I have things to do.

I'm leaving.

Wow!

Since when did you become so rich?

Not long ago.

Alright,

why were you in such a hurry to find me?

It's like this.

I saw how impressive you were at Ye Weiyang,

so I joined a martial arts gym.

But then,

last night my gym buddies and I went to a bar,

and we saw two jerks harassing some girls.

We stepped in to help,

and those losers threatened that

they'd bring their brother to challenge our gym this afternoon.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid you can't win?

After seeing your performance before,

I know

everyone at our gym isn't very skilled,

so I'm really not confident.

I came to you today

to see if you could help us out.

If we can win,

you can just watch for fun.

But if we can't,

you can back us up.

This is a Marrow-Cleansing Pill.

Take it,

and I'll teach you a set of techniques.

Delicious!

Do you have more?

Aren't you afraid of eating too much?

That's enough.

Go over there,

I'll teach you a set of techniques.

I'm invincible, I'm telling you!

What invincible?

You've barely been training.

Ye Bufan,

what are you doing here?

I came with him.

What about you?

I came with Xiaowan.

She said her boyfriend was coming to show off today.

Nice!

Han Shuai!

I thought this was a friendly match,

but this friend has no manners.

Once on the ring,

only strength matters.

Ah!

Hahaha!

Trash!

Chuchu,

why haven't you broken up with him yet?

Cao Xiaowan,

aren't you being too nosy?

Not at all.

I'm marrying Kanu, aren't I?

I just want you all to be like me,

marrying a prince

and finding happiness.

Prince?

Where they come from, there might be a prince in every village.

Nothing special about that.

With your inferior genes,

how could you understand a prince's worth?

Indeed.

Among us,

some people's genes do degenerate.

Well done!

Useless!

Let me stabilize your injury first.

After I finish here,

I'll give you complete treatment.

You fly,

are you here to die?

No,

I'm here to teach a lesson.

Hahaha!

Hey, kid,

I suggest you call an ambulance now.

Kanu,

go for it!

Damn it!

Don't worry.

Xiaofan has never lost.

Beating a bunch of nobodies

and thinking he's something special.

He's no match for Kanu.

Come on, kid.

Let's have a friendly match.

Just keep it light.

You went too far.

I didn't kill him,

you should be on your knees thanking me.

Hahaha!

A friendly match

should be kept light,

just to test each other's skills.

Like what we just saw,

determining a winner is enough.

But unfortunately, someone

is arrogant

and full of hostility.

Today,

I'll teach you a lesson

that there's always someone better.

Shut up.

Fine.

Ah!

Is that all you've got?

The lion's blessing.

Strength,

speed,

technique,

I've taught you all of these.

The next lesson is called

an eye for an eye.

No!

How could you?

He's a prince!

He deserved it.

I didn't kill him,

you should be thanking me on your knees.

That was

awesome!

Still showing off?

Still think you're invincible?

When my brother's amazing, I show off.

When my brother's invincible, so am I.

Ye Bufan,

hurry up and treat His Highness.

Hey, girl,

I suggest you call an ambulance right now.

Do you have any medical ethics?

I'll report you to your workplace

and get you fired.

Alright,

I'll contact a reliable doctor for you.

Hello,

Sima Wei.

You haven't left Maiqing yet, right?

Right,

I've found a lead on a genetically modified person here.

Yes,

I'll send you the location.

It's okay now.

I've contacted Xuanyuan Pavilion for you.

They'll send someone over soon.

Xuanyuan Pavilion?

No, no, no!

I'm sorry,

I was a bit too rough.

But with your injury, you can't get excited.

I'll give you acupuncture for the pain.

Someone will be here soon.

Kanu,

please bear with it a little longer.

Your leg can definitely be healed.

Oh.

Who is Sima Wei?

It's a long story.

Let's talk outside.

So,

by reporting Kanu,

I'm doing a public service.

It's just that Cao Xiaowan

might get involved in this matter.

You won't blame me, will you?

Sigh.

Cao Xiaowan used to be fine,

but I don't know what happened

these years that made her so obsessed.

She's always thinking men from elsewhere are better.

I don't care

what happens to her.

I'm worried about our Maiqing.

First it was the killing energy,

now there's this genetic modification.

I think

these incidents will only become more frequent.

If I just solve cases as I encounter them,

I'm afraid

I won't be able to save many people.

Have you considered

opening a medical clinic?

It's not that simple.

The Lu family in Maiqing is selling Xinglin Garden.

You could buy it directly.

5 million would be enough.

I know that location.

The land alone is worth several million.

5 million is a very good price.

Hasn't anyone bought it?

The condition for buying Xinglin Garden for 5 million is

passing the Lu family's medical skills test.

Medical skills?

I'm a professional.

Tell me

about Xinglin Garden's medical skills test.

What's it all about?

After old Mr. Lu Huai'an of Xinglin Garden passed away,

his son Lu Qingzhi took over.

But after just a few days,

Lu Qingzhi's daughter went insane.

His daughter went mad.

Yes.

He's asking 5 million to sell Xinglin Garden

just to raise money for his daughter Lu Banxia

to see top psychologists abroad.

I see.

To take over Xinglin Garden,

Lu Qingzhi has two conditions.

First, Xinglin Garden must remain a medical clinic

and cannot be used for other purposes.

Second, you must pass his medical skills test

and gain his approval.

Poor man, he's going through a lot.

He even offered a reward:

whoever can cure his daughter

will be given Xinglin Garden directly.

How awkward.

How did Lu Banxia fall ill?

Is it hereditary

or was she traumatized by something?

The Lu family has been in medicine for a century,

so Lu Banxia's genes must be fine.

She was very smart as a child,

reciting medical classics at just five years old.

She even studied at Yellings Institute

and planned to take Xinglin Garden public upon her return.

A girl like that doesn't seem easily traumatized.

Such a pity.

When old Mr. Lu Huai'an passed away,

she came back for the funeral,

and after spending just one night at home,

she became insane.

Alright,

it's almost certain now.

Lu,

don't push your luck.

I don't know medicine,

but I can increase my offer.

How about 8 million? That should be enough, right?

Get

out of here!

Look at you!

Some medical family you are,

when you're not even as healthy as I am.

You...

Hahaha!

What are you going to do?

This place just breeds sickly people.

Better sell it while you can.

It's still worth 8 million today,

but tomorrow it won't be worth this much.

Zhao Dafu.

What are you doing?

Hey!

Miss Qin,

I'm just doing business here.

This old man attacked me first.

Do you know medicine?

Since Miss Qin has spoken,

I'll forget about this deal.

See you.

Jin.

Sorry you had to see that.

Uncle Lu,

I brought my boyfriend today

to help solve your problems.

Although our families are old friends,

I must be clear upfront.

If you want to buy Xinglin Garden,

my rules cannot be changed.

Cao Rui.

What's going on?

I need to perform the Thirteen Needles to Expel Evil.

She keeps moving and I can't insert the needles properly.

Quick, get two strong people to hold her down.

Did you check her pulse

before using needles?

Hmph!

Do I need to check her pulse for this?

She's mentally disturbed,

her eyes are unfocused,

and it's an acute onset.

So it must be evil energy.

Come here

and help hold her down.

What he says makes sense.

Banxia must have evil energy in her body.

Too gentle!

Not enough pressure.

Don't interfere with my treatment.

Stop this nonsense.

Where are you even placing those needles?

I'm treating her illness.

Stop your complaining.

If she doesn't recover, it's all your fault.

Sir,

Cao Rui is Old Cao's grandson.

He's studied exorcism techniques.

Don't interfere with him.

Exorcism complete.

Cao Rui,

is she better now?

Of course.

I...

This girl was about to be drained by me,

but I never expected some foolish boy

to deliver himself to me.

Hahaha!

It's so itchy!

It hurts!

It feels so good!

Heh heh heh.

Old Cao,

let me explain.

I didn't want

this to happen either.

How about this:

I have some savings.

I can take your grandson abroad with us.

Why are you panicking?

Look how calm my senior is.

He must have a solution.

Ah?

Your senior?

Sigh.

In the future, tell your grandson to stop claiming he knows the Thirteen Needles to Expel Evil.

I'm too embarrassed to admit I taught him that.

We'll talk about this later.

This illness

can be cured.

The root cause

is in this crystal cluster.

How is that possible?

My late father specially brought this back from abroad.

It's said to improve heart and lung function.

Then your father's

heart and lung function improved?

What do you mean?

Although our Xinglin Garden is now in ruins,

it's not something a youngster like you can insult at will.

Insult?

Is stating facts considered an insult?

Qingzhi,

watch your words.

Senior,

Banxia is now in a coma.

Qingzhi is just anxious because he cares.

He,

this young man,

is really your senior?

My senior's medical skills are exceptional.

If he says he can cure Banxia,

then there's definitely no problem.

On this crystal cluster

there's a spirit attached.

When old Mr. Lu Huai'an brought it back,

it drained his vital energy

and he died.

This spirit, without a host,

needs to find another host to parasitize.

So

it found your daughter.

Spirit?

Parasite?

This...

How is that possible?

These are long-lost mystical arts.

Your lack of understanding

is understandable.

Fortunately,

the spirit in this crystal cluster

hasn't drained all your daughter's vital energy yet.

However, treating the wrong condition,

even if the Thirteen Exorcism Needles work,

will only treat the symptoms, not the cause.

It might even

put yourself at risk.

Sigh.

Senior,

um,

please save her quickly.

You fool,

you don't even know what yin-yang meridians are,

yet you rush to treat patients.

If I weren't here,

do you know how serious the consequences would be?

Not only would he be in trouble,

but Mr. Lu beside him would also suffer.

This...

Wouldn't that mean...

Yes,

the Xinglin Garden you cherish so much

would today

lose its legacy.

Senior, please calm down.

It's my fault for not teaching my grandson properly.

I'll take responsibility.

Kid,

you dare to call me out when I was having fun.

How dare you call me out when I was having fun.

You

are tired of living?

Dancing like this

is it really that enjoyable?

Well, well.

I see you have much more yang energy than him.

Don't you want to know if it's enjoyable?

I'll let you find out soon enough.

What's

going on?

I can identify your true form,

so I'm prepared to deal with you.

I didn't erase you

because I still have questions for you.

Who

sold you to old Mr. Lu Huai'an?

Die!

What

is that?

You have one last chance to confess.

No!

What a pity,

I couldn't get any answers in the end.

Never mind,

it doesn't matter.

I'll make you dance.

I'll make you show off.

I'll make you flaunt.

You almost harmed Qingzhi's entire family.

Thank you, Doctor Ye.

When father brought this crystal cluster home,

he repeatedly warned us

that it could ward off evil and disasters,

that's why we've kept it at home.

This crystal cluster is indeed suspicious.

But now that the spirit has been eliminated,

it's safe to keep it on display.

Her illness.

The source of her illness is gone,

she won't fall into that frenzied state again.

Doctor Ye.

I was truly blind earlier,

I've offended you.

Doctor Ye has given our Lu family a second chance at life,

please accept my bow.

Don't be so quick to bow.

The spirit has been attached to her for too long,

it has nearly drained her body.

The spirit is destroyed,

but she's still very weak,

she needs immediate treatment.

Doctor Ye.

This is...

This spirit has been dormant in Banxia for half a year,

draining much of her vital energy.

I can use it for alchemy

to restore Banxia's body.

So,

how can I help?

This old man is at your service.

Banxia is still recovering now.

It will take some time.

Why don't

you tell me about this crystal cluster?

When my father first brought it home,

his face was glowing with health.

He said his heart and lungs felt much better.

Unfortunately,

after just a few days...

Later,

when Banxia came back for the funeral,

a master said

this crystal cluster could benefit Banxia

and told us to move it to her room.

Xuanji.

No,

we invited a highly skilled female sorceress

called Master Yin or something.

I see.

That explains everything.

What exactly

is going on?

This crystal cluster was contaminated by negative energy for a long time,

then placed in an extremely yin location to gather energy,

forming a spirit entity.

Ah!

The spirit needs to consume life force to survive

and will seek out a host.

Mr. Lu was unfortunately chosen by this spirit

which drained his life force.

But

what does this have to do with Master Yin?

This Master Yin

must have a natural sensitivity to objects tainted with negative energy.

When she came to your home,

she would have immediately noticed something unusual about the crystal.

I'm guessing

she described your father's symptoms

to gain your trust,

right?

It seems

that's exactly what happened.

But

why would she harm my daughter?

She wanted to take me as her disciple,

but I refused.

Banxia,

you're awake.

What happened to me?

It's a long story.

Thank you, Dr. Ye, for saving my life.

Saving lives

is my duty.

Dr. Ye has cured my daughter,

so I should keep my promise.

Xinglin Garden is now yours.

If it's Dr. Ye,

I approve.

No, no, no.

Let's do this:

Xinglin Garden will be our joint venture,

where we can also treat negative energy and spirit-related issues.

We'll treat other ailments together,

though I can't be here year-round,

so I'll have to trouble you to manage it, Mr. Lu.

Good.

It's

a blessing to have someone with your medical skills

running Xinglin Garden.

Brother,

I'm here too.

This is my senior fellow apprentice.

You should call him Grand Master.

I'm worried Qingzhi can't handle it alone.

I'd like to practice medicine here too.

Is that okay?

Wait.

So you're not managing Baicao Hall anymore?

I rarely see patients there now.

I can learn more here with you, senior.

Then I'll be counting on both of you.

Let's go.

Let's clean up Xinglin Garden thoroughly.

We'll try to open as soon as possible.

Father.

Do you see it?

Xinglin Garden.

It's alive again.

I...

You're Lu Qingzhi, right?

My lady.

Requests you to treat our master, Mr. Gao Jiajun.

I'm sorry.

Unless it's an emergency,

Xinglin Garden doesn't make house calls.

If you need treatment,

please bring the patient here tomorrow.

Hmph.

It's just about money, isn't it?

If you cure my husband,

we'll cover your daughter's overseas treatment costs.

Isn't that your only wish?

I'll make it happen for you.

You'll also keep your family business.

Such a good opportunity.

Don't miss it.

My daughter's illness has already been cured.

That's impossible.

She had mental illness.

How could it be cured so easily?

I cured her.

Let me give you some advice.

If you want someone to treat a patient,

you'd better show some respect.

It's you.

It's you.

What?

Failed to scam our Gao family.

And now you're trying to deceive people here?

Dr. Ye truly cured me.

Whether you believe it or not.

This is a fact.

Impossible.

You're really Lu Banxia?

What?

To prove my identity.

Neither my father's word nor mine counts?

I get it now.

You and this guy are putting on an act.

Trying to scam our Gao family together.

Scam your family?

Neither Mr. Lu nor I planned.

To treat Mr. Gao from your family.

What would we be scamming?

Aren't you just trying to raise the price?

How much do you want?

Rules are rules.

When we practice medicine at Xinglin Garden.

We see patients here, not elsewhere.

If you want treatment.

You must come here.

You really think without you.

We can't find another place for treatment?

Qiao Fei.

Let's go.

We'll go to Baicao Hall.

And ask Old Master Cao to treat Mr. Gao.

Don't bother going to Baicao Hall.

I will also be practicing medicine at Xinglin Garden from now on.

Ah.

Master Cao.

Why are you here?

Qingzhi's daughter is sick.

Can't I come?

My senior is here.

Of course I should come learn medical skills from him.

He's your senior?

In the path of medicine.

His skills far exceed mine.

It's only right for me.

To call him my senior.

Haha.

I was wondering.

Why everything seemed so strange.

So you're behind it all.

I.

Hmph.

It's all because you failed in your cooperation with our Gao family.

You've been holding a grudge

and bribed Baicao Hall and Xinglin Garden.

You put on this act in front of me

just to force me to work with you, Qin Chuchu, again

so you can return to the core of Qin Group.

I never realized

you were such a talented storyteller.

What a waste not to write novels.

I hereby announce

that from today onwards,

our Gao family will blacklist you, Qin Chuchu.

All of Gao family's projects

won't let you earn a single penny.

Chuchu,

I'm sorry

for causing you all this trouble.

It's fine.

If I really can't make it,

Xiaofan can support me.

Hello?

Mom,

what's wrong?

Qingcheng,

what brings you here?

Can't I visit you without a reason?

Of course you can.

Take your time chatting.

I'll go cut some fruit.

Which girl did you go on a date with this time?

Nothing like that.

I just treated someone from the Lu family at Xinglin Garden.

I cured their little girl,

and Mr. Lu offered to give me Xinglin Garden.

Jobs are so hard to find these days.

I reluctantly agreed to partner with Mr. Lu

and practice medicine there.

Qin Chuchu helped you make the connection, right?

She just passed along the message.

Don't worry.

I came today

because I want to help you.

Here's what I'm thinking.

Our Gu family owns a pharmaceutical company.

It's not worth much,

called Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

I want to give it to you.

I couldn't possibly accept that.

Why not?

If Lu Qingzhi can give you something,

why can't I, Gu Qingcheng?

No, no.

It's not the same thing.

You saved Qiaoqiao,

so you deserve some compensation.

And since your medical skills are excellent,

this pharmaceutical company would be perfect for you.

It's a good match.

But

I don't know anything about running a business.

The one thing our Gu family doesn't lack

is business talent.

You can just make use of them when needed.

Besides, accepting this company

will help you save more people.

If that's the case,

then I'll humbly accept.

Let's shake on it.

My father says

that Longteng Pharmaceuticals

is my dowry.

If you accept it,

then I belong to you.

Wait a minute.

You didn't mention this before.

I'm just kidding.

Just joking.

Look how scared you are.

Ah.

This ice queen.

Her smile is terrifying.

Why are there so many patients today?

Chuchu got people to promote us.

Said Xinghua is here.

I...

And Xinghua's senior is also practicing here.

That's how we got popular.

Xiaofan.

Someone named Qiao Fei is asking to see you outside.

Says Mr. Gao's chest is hurting.

Wants you to go check on him.

I won't go.

He should come himself if he needs treatment.

But he's brought people to block the door.

Perfect time to stretch my muscles.

Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by patients?

Hmph.

Ye Bufan.

Mrs. Gao says

She won't hold a grudge against you.

She's allowing you to treat Mr. Gao now.

I don't have a habit of being forced to treat patients.

Ye Bufan.

Wake up.

Mr. Gao is a jewelry tycoon in Hong Kong.

This shabby clinic?

He could buy you ten of these with a wave of his hand.

Just a few introductions from him

And you could be famous in the medical field.

Don't be so stubborn.

Hmph.

If he wants treatment, he should come himself.

You can all leave now.

Hahaha.

If you don't want to treat Mr. Gao,

Then you can forget about practicing medicine ever again.

Just one phone call from me

And your clinic will be shut down.

You're just playing hard to get.

You just want more money, right?

How much?

Name your price.

Hmph.

Get out.

Don't waste my consultation time.

Show them out.

Didn't you hear me?

What are you doing?

I...

I am Mr. Gao's butler!

Get out!

When I practice medicine here,

I only see patients in my clinic.

I don't make house calls.

You punk.

Don't be so smug.

When Mr. Gao recovers,

I'll settle the score with you.

Hmph.

What kind of people are they?

Who asks for medical help like that?

Physical illness can be cured,

But stupidity is incurable.

Let them go.

Mr. Gao.

That Ye fellow

Is really something else.

Not only did he throw us out,

He also said...

He said you should prepare your funeral arrangements.

This is outrageous!

I'll call Mayor Maiqing

and have him shut down this Xinglin Clinic.

Enough.

The priority now

is to cure my illness,

not to create more problems.

That Ye fellow

diagnosed me with

chest pain for three days,

spreading throughout my body in seven days.

If what he said is true,

we can invite him back later.

Can I borrow your boyfriend for one night?

Please.

With our relationship,

do you even need to ask?

If you like him,

just go ahead and borrow him.

Xiaofan.

Are you free tonight to keep my friend company?

Xiaofan.

Are you free tonight to accompany my friend?

Don't worry.

It's important.

She has an interview.

She really wants that job.

But.

They want to interview her at a bar tonight.

I'm a bit concerned.

So I want you to pretend to be her protector.

I'm not angry.

Thank you for your help.

All set.

I'm lending you my boyfriend.

Don't wear him out.

Chuchu.

Hello, Mr. Luo.

This is my boyfriend, Ye Bufan.

Didn't I ask you to come alone?

I'm sorry, Mr. Luo.

I'm terrible with directions.

My boyfriend just gave me a ride here.

Alright.

Let him go home.

After the interview.

I'll take you home.

Mr. Luo.

I'd like to sit in.

Learn from the experience.

Hahaha.

You want to learn.

Fine.

Fill this glass first.

Xiao'an.

Go ahead and drink.

Mr. Luo.

She can't handle alcohol.

Xiao'an will be joining me for business meetings.

What's wrong with having a drink?

Getting a job at Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

Is just one word from me.

I hope you leave now.

Don't be difficult.

Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

You're in charge?

Abusing your power.

That's not right.

What do you think?

Xiaofan.

Are you threatening me?

You should have said so earlier about the job.

I'm on a tight schedule.

This beauty is nice.

I like the innocent type.

Young Fei.

You've always had an eye for beauty.

It's just too bad

I prefer the older sister type.

I claimed this seat first.

Since it's our first meeting,

let's be friends.

You can get lost.

I'll let it slide.

Who are you people?

Hmph.

You dare hit me?

He Pengfei.

From the He family.

By the way,

this is Ma Kun,

Old Ma's son.

Hmph.

Before I remember your face,

you'd better leave quietly.

Whatever.

What are you standing there for?

Hurry and pour Mr. Fei some wine.

Looking for death?

You dare provoke these two young masters?

Idiot.

Bad luck.

Are you crazy?

One is He Changqing's favorite grandson,

the other is Old Ma's son.

In Maiqing City,

they're both untouchable.

Don't worry.

If their families knew I beat them up,

they'd be secretly delighted.

Stop talking nonsense, punk.

I was careless just now.

Try that again if you dare.

If you dare touch me,

expect a severe beating when you get home.

Brother,

that's quite an attitude.

Tell us who you are.

At least you have some brains.

Slap yourself twenty times,

and I'll let tonight's matter slide.

Consider it

getting to know a junior.

You're tired of living?

Boss,

where's the boss?

Liuguang Finger.

Wait.

You recognize me now?

Master Ye.

I've finished slapping.

Ye Bufan.

Your father didn't tell you to remember my face?

I'll slap myself too.

You don't need to slap yourself.

You,

squat down when you talk.

Half squat,

arms stretched out.

Master Ye, I'm sorry.

I failed to recognize your greatness.

Please be magnanimous

and spare me this time.

I'll never dare again.

That was quite smooth.

You must apologize to your father often.

You can hit me or scold me,

just please don't tell my father.

If my father knew I offended you,

he might break my legs.

Ah,

what an interesting show.

Hey,

give me Old Ma's number.

Please don't!

So this is where you live?

This road should have been widened long ago.

Cars can't even get through.

Thank you for tonight.

If it weren't for you,

I would have been in trouble with them.

Save me.

When will you finally get the money?

If you don't help me,

they'll take me away tomorrow.

Baoxu.

Don't panic.

Tell me what's going on.

How dare you!

Shut up!

Stop bothering your sister!

It's fine.

Worst case, I'll disown this son.

Let them tear him apart for all I care.

It's okay.

I'll hang up now.

What's going on?

My brother must have spent money on games again.

He already owes over 100,000.

Debt collectors are after him every day.

I was hoping that by joining Longteng Pharmaceuticals,

I could help ease the family's burden.

That won't solve your brother's problem.

He can't control himself.

How much would you need to earn to cover his spending?

I have no choice.

After all,

I'm his sister.

Why don't you ask Chuchu for help?

It wouldn't be difficult for her to offer you that salary.

I don't want them to know about my relationship with Chuchu.

It's a family matter after all.

I can bear the burden myself,

but I can't drag Chuchu into this.

Tonight,

I messed up your interview.

Why don't

you go directly to Longteng Pharmaceuticals tomorrow?

Didn't tonight's interview go badly?

Manager Luo doesn't seem like an easy person to deal with.

Don't worry.

As your temporary boyfriend,

I'll take

full responsibility for this matter.

The paperwork is done.

That was fast.

Miss Gu,

your matters naturally get special treatment.

I'll come handle the handover with you now.

Alright.

I'll head over first.

Awaiting your grand arrival.

You're quite impressive.

You ran into He Pengfei and Ma Kun last night,

yet you're still able to come to work in one piece today.

I can't help but admire your skills.

Unfortunately,

we're a legitimate company

and don't hire people like you.

Get out!

Manager Luo, please calm down.

I'll give you a chance.

Just arrange for An Yimo to be hired.

Well,

trying to be the hero, are you?

Get on your knees when you speak to me.

It must be the immortal master from beyond the mortal realm.

Want to play the hero?

Come on,

kneel down when you talk to me.

Hmph.

So aggressive with your words.

Is Longteng Pharmaceuticals your family business?

The way you talk.

Come on,

tell him

who owns Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

Of course it's yours,

Mr. Luo.

Longteng is Mr. Luo's Longteng.

I consider it an honor to serve Mr. Luo.

See?

These two people I randomly grabbed

can both confirm who owns this company.

I'm a kind-hearted person.

An Yimo wants to join the company.

Fine.

You kneel down for me right here,

and I'll let her in with a wave of my hand.

Mr. Luo is so generous.

Xiaofan,

let's go.

Hey,

where are you going?

Since I promised you could join,

I'll definitely make it happen.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and kneel.

Shh,

the CEO is coming.

Hello, Mr. Gu.

I believe I've already sent notice

that I'm no longer your CEO.

No, no.

In my heart,

you'll always be our leader.

Looking at you now,

if you had a tail,

I'm sure it would be wagging happily.

What are you still doing here?

Where's security?

What?

So eager to make me leave?

You're not planning to make a move on Yimo, are you?

Trying to stir up trouble in front of Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu has clear eyes.

Gu...

ah...

Mr. Gu.

You had your reasons for slapping me,

but this brat insulted Longteng Pharmaceuticals to our faces

He must be severely punished.

This is Longteng Pharmaceuticals' new CEO,

Ye Bufan.

Mr. Gu,

please don't be fooled by him.

He's in cahoots with people like Ma Jiu

and will ruin our company's reputation.

Yesterday I saw him with Ma Jiu's son with my own eyes,

arm in arm.

What bullshit!

Ouch!

Watch your damn mouth!

He ran away as soon as he saw us yesterday.

How could he see me and Master Ye arm in arm?

I was squatting there for an hour last night.

How could we possibly be arm in arm?

Your reputation is bad.

If Ye Bufan hangs out with you,

he can't be a good person either.

Hmph!

You're the one who regularly

takes female employees to bars and gets them drunk.

And you think your reputation is good?

Why are you stealing the show?

This is...

Kneel down with me.

Hurry up!

Master Ye, I'm sorry.

Please be merciful.

We'll serve you faithfully from now on.

Or maybe

you'd like to criticize the He family again?

Luo Feng,

the allegations about you harassing employees

have been confirmed.

CEO Ye,

the board of directors

has granted you full authority over personnel decisions.

Hello, CEO.

Hello.

Although I don't know you,

you can process your resignation along with Manager Luo.

You can't do this to me.

I've made contributions to Longteng.

I've worked hard.

The contributions you made

were for Luo Feng's Longteng,

not mine.

Go process your paperwork together.

You,

go now.

From now on,

she is the general manager of Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

Ah!

Luo,

it's okay.

No need to rush with the resignation.

Hmm.

Everyone get up.

Thank you, Master Ye.

CEO Ye,

I'm Shao Dongliang, head of the R&D department.

I have bad news

that I need to report to you.

Speak.

Just now,

the R&D department's system crashed,

and all the data was suddenly lost.

Can it be recovered?

It would be very difficult to recover.

Fortunately,

I have a backup in my head.

Just name your demands.

Hahaha!

First,

bring Luo Feng back

to continue as general manager.

Second,

I think

if you don't offer me five times my salary,

I'm afraid

it might be hard for me to remember.

How dare you!

If you don't hand over the formula today,

I'll beat you to death.

Oh my!

How can you be so violent?

Ah!

If this continues,

I'm afraid I won't remember any formulas at all.

When companies face this kind of situation,

how do they usually handle it?

First, we need to investigate the R&D department computers

to see if, besides the main servers,

employees' personal devices have any formula backups.

Second, we need to mobilize staff

to recover the data as soon as possible.

Hahaha!

No need to bother.

Both R&D team leaders are here.

We can just ask them directly.

Come on.

Please explain to our new Director Ye.

We've checked.

All the data is indeed lost.

Recovery is basically impossible.

However,

fortunately, Director Shao has an exceptional memory.

He remembers all the formulas.

If I don't agree to your terms,

will all of you leave?

We've worked diligently for Longteng,

giving our all.

We deserve to fight for our rights.

If the company refuses,

it would truly break our hearts.

Exactly.

A company that doesn't care for its employees

isn't worth staying with.

That's right.

Besides, Director Luo has led us for years.

We only recognize his leadership.

Director Ye,

the R&D department is the core of Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

If we lose our technical staff,

I'm afraid...

Don't worry.

Alright.

Since everyone is so troubled,

then...

Here are the resignation agreements you wanted.

Please sign them.

Trying to play hard to get?

Let's see if you panic after we sign.

Sign it.

We have core competencies, what's there to fear?

Everyone sign.

That's it.

You may all leave now.

This...

Wait.

What?

Haven't we already resigned?

What else do you want?

Resignation

only indicates the end of your employment contract.

However,

accountability for your work must continue.

Accountability?

What accountability?

I just checked.

All formula patents produced by the R&D department

are under your name, not the company's.

I suspect

you're illegally profiting from company assets.

This...

This...

Director Luo approved all of this.

Don't worry,

he won't escape either.

I don't know how you transferred the patents,

but I think

the police will find a way to know.

Hmph.

If I go to jail,

you won't have the formula,

and you'll be finished too.

I don't know how you transferred the patents.

But I think

the police will find a way to know.

Hmph.

If I go to jail

without the formula

you're still finished.

Hmph.

Those formulas of yours

I really don't think much of them.

The ancient medical formulas of Baicao Tang

came from my hands.

Formulas like these

I probably have more than a dozen.

No

that's impossible.

The data loss incident today

also needs police investigation.

Mr. Ye.

I'm exposing that

Shao Dongliang is a traitor

he sold many formulas to knockoff manufacturers.

I was undercover beside him

just to expose him to the company one day.

Fine.

Please go together and tell the police.

Ah.

After investigation

eighteen people are suspected of misappropriating company property

they've been handed over to judicial authorities.

You're getting the hang of it quickly

it's only been a few hours

and you've already cleared it up.

Do you have any ideas about the company's development?

The ancient medical formula Mr. Ye provided

with Old Cao's endorsement

should have no problem with sales.

However, some medicines are quite expensive

and can't fill the company's idle capacity.

We can only produce some

conventional non-patented drugs as a transition.

Until we win the lawsuit.

These are three ancient medical formulas.

One for stopping bleeding and healing wounds

one for nourishing the heart

one for strengthening the kidneys.

All use commonly available herbs in the market.

I've looked at them

they're all much better than our existing formulations.

This...

such a good formula

entrusted to me?

Can I really handle it?

Now that the R&D department has been completely cut,

giving you these formulas will help stabilize morale.

Believe in yourself,

and please trust my judgment.

Thank you, Director Ye.

I'll be going now.

Once things are sorted out at Longteng Pharmaceuticals,

then

we'll have the confidence to mass-produce medicine to fight against the evil energy.

The rest

is to strengthen the foundation

and prepare to break through to the late Xuan stage.

Sis,

I'm so sorry.

What's going on?

Tell me.

I've really been trying to pay back the money.

I met this big shot earlier

who said he could help me make big money in stocks,

so I took our family savings to invest.

Stocks,

you know?

How much did you lose?

Speak.

Tell me now.

Just

three hundred

thousand.

How much?

Just 3 million plus 2 million,

5.8 million.

Quick!

Unlock it!

Transfer!

Transfer the money!

What are you doing?

She...

She...

She's my sister.

Move aside.

It's just emotional distress

combined with malnutrition.

You're a doctor.

Can you save my sister?

Give me the phone.

Where are you taking her?

What's your relationship?

Taking her for treatment.

I'm her boss.

Only transferred a few thousand.

Hmph!

Once she lands that big boss,

we won't care about this small amount.

Little Prince,

don't go.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Little Prince,

you know,

I finally found a job,

but my family still won't leave me alone.

Don't leave me,

please don't.

Ah!

Phew!

Good thing I know pressure points,

otherwise I would've been...

Why did I say 'again'?

Last night,

did anything...?

No.

She just wanted to take advantage of me.

Good thing I know some martial arts.

Ah!

No.

You fainted after arguing with your family.

I brought you here to rest.

By the way,

who's this Little Prince?

Come.

Let me formally introduce you.

You play well.

Good taste.

So handsome.

Successfully promoted.

I lend you my boyfriend

and you spend the night at his place?

It's not like that.

Let me explain.

I fainted last night,

and Xiaofan brought me here.

Don't make false accusations.

We can check the security footage

anytime.

Fine.

I'll listen to your story later.

It's getting late.

I need to go to the office now.

Oh,

my money!

Taxis can't enter this villa complex.

There's no time.

Take this car to work today.

This...

doesn't seem right.

If I take your car,

what about you?

Don't worry about me.

I have other cars in the garage.

Oh,

alright.

But I'm worried about my family.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of everything.

Your relationship is progressing well.

All thanks to your excellent matchmaking.

Say that again.

No more joking.

About An Yimo,

I need to help her.

Xiaofan helped me again.

I need to work harder

and work well to repay him.

But why do I vaguely remember

something happened last night?

Ah!

Ouch!

Mom,

are you okay?

My daughter.

You might as well just kill me with that collision.

Mom,

why are you here?

You fainted yesterday,

and Baoxu took advantage

to unlock your phone.

I've let you down.

I have a few dozen yuan here,

why don't you take it first?

No need.

Let's not block the way,

let's sit down over there and talk.

That doctor yesterday

is your boss?

What's your relationship?

Him?

What sins have I committed?

Don't call the police,

my daughter.

Baoxu can't go to prison.

I'll talk to him,

just give me a few days.

Dr. Ye.

Dr. Ye.

What brings you all here?

Isn't it the opening of Brother Ye's clinic?

We brought some gifts to celebrate.

Congratulations on your new clinic,

may you heal many people.

You're too kind.

Not at all,

we've been negligent.

If you don't mind,

our Xiaokui could help out here,

doing renovations or moving bricks.

My son Liu Mao can work too.

He's very strong,

great at demolishing walls.

And my Li Fengshan,

he can do cleaning.

That won't do.

Sweeping is my job.

Well then,

my son can clean the drains,

dig septic tanks.

No one's fighting for that job, right?

Not bad at all.

Your son can do this too?

He sure can.

Alright.

Send them over later.

I'll take care of everything.

Thank you, Dr. Ye.

My skills have improved greatly under your guidance.

I just couldn't help myself.

I was showing off to the guys last night.

You'll be responsible for them later.

Don't scare my patients.

Yes, of course.

Certainly.

If the septic tank isn't dug properly,

you'll have to dig it yourself.

I'm the sales manager from Dawang Pharmaceuticals.

Get your boss out here.

That's me.

What can I do for you?

All the medicinal herbs you need for your clinic,

our company can supply them all.

You just need to

order 2 million yuan worth of goods from me annually,

and I can give you a 50% discount.

I'm sorry,

but we have our own supply channels.

I hope we can still work together.

Otherwise,

don't blame me for getting tough.

What are you doing?

Take my advice.

Surrender and you'll lose less.

Useless.

Don't move.

Just wait.

I'm from the Maiqing Medical Bureau,

Xia Hailin, director of medical facility supervision.

We received reports from citizens

suspecting you of practicing medicine illegally.

Illegal practice?

I have a medical license.

Would you like to see it?

No need.

It must be fake.

You're so young.

Unless whoever issued it was blind.

Let's see if you're still laughing later.

Director Zhou,

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea his medical license was issued by you.

Whether I issued it or not doesn't matter.

But your actions may be illegal.

Go explain it to the police.

Director Zhou,

please let me explain.

Come with me.

Whatever illegal dealings you have,

you'd better confess honestly.

No hard feelings if the deal doesn't work out.

Let's go.

Dr. Ye,

please put in a good word for me.

I'll owe you one.

Hey,

Xiaofan.

My brother took your car.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

It's fine.

I...

This...

Mr. Ye,

could you please not call the police?

My brother, he...

Don't worry.

I'll handle everything properly.

Come over here.

Mom.

Now this is a car.

It feels amazing to drive.

That girl's bag is still here.

There's over 8,000 yuan inside.

Later we'll sell this car too.

Hehe.

Then we'll be rich.

Do you even know how to drive?

Can you afford to pay if you damage my car?

Finally caught you.

Get out.

Pretty bold of you.

Daring to drive my car.

Yours?

No.

Miss.

This...

car...

belongs to my sister.

Your sister's?

How is that possible?

Even if the cars look identical,

how could they have the same license plate?

Tow this car away.

Please don't, miss!

This is a fake plate.

It's a car with fake plates.

Yes, yes.

Miss.

This really is a car with fake plates.

It's not yours.

This bag looks familiar.

How is it so similar to mine?

It is mine, isn't it?

Yes.

With 8,000 yuan inside.

Uh...

What 'uh'?

Give me back my bag.

Miss.

This bag of yours...

we found it on the road.

Enough.

Stop pretending.

Go change the license plate immediately.

If you dare use my plate again,

I'll smash both you and the car.

Okay, okay, okay.

What bad luck.

That woman is terrifying.

We still need to remove the license plate.

Later we'll get your sister to give us another 100,000.

We'll say we were blackmailed because of this car.

Bad luck.

This woman is terrifying.

We still need to remove the license plate.

Then we'll get your sister to give us another 100,000.

Just say we were blackmailed because of this car.

Pretty boy!

Get your ass down here!

Brother,

what's the matter?

You little punk,

how dare you drive my wife's car!

No,

brother,

I...

this is a car with fake plates.

Your wife just caught me for it.

This is the car I bought for my wife.

Here,

show him the documents.

Ah!

Brother,

please let me go.

I really don't know your wife!

Come on,

I'll give you a chance

to prove you don't know my wife.

Huh?

How can I prove that?

You're driving the car.

If you can't prove it, you're having an affair.

Please let my son go.

He really didn't do anything.

He got the car from his friend.

We don't know

the specific situation, honestly.

You can check the dashcam.

Hmph!

I don't believe it.

I'm calling the police.

What's going on?

Officer,

you must help me!

This really isn't his wife's car.

It has fake plates!

Ah!

That guy was so scared he almost wet himself.

He bowed deeply to me right away.

I have to say Xiao Fan arranged it well.

We taught them a lesson,

got the money back,

and returned the car to its rightful owner.

Thank you all for your great help.

I'll treat you all to a meal another day.

By the way,

you hired so many people to act with you.

What's your relationship

with An Yimo?

She's Chuchu's best friend.

I have something

to attend to. I'll go first.

I feel like those two...

Stop feeling.

This is ancient history.

Don't make assumptions.

I don't feel anything at all.

What's going on?

Xiaofan.

I'm sorry,

I lost your car.

Can I...

can I work for you

to pay off my debt gradually?

Don't worry about the car now.

Look at you all dirty.

You're a mess.

Go inside and clean up.

What are you doing?

It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?

I've made up my mind.

I can't be indebted to you anymore.

That car costs over 2 million.

I'll work for you for the rest of my life to pay it back.

I hope you don't mind.

It's just...

Don't worry,

I'll definitely work hard.

You're stressing over this?

It's not your fault.

Why panic?

Relax.

It's just a car.

It's not worth all this.

The mess those two made

shouldn't be your responsibility.

But...

Come with me.

How did it come back?

You didn't call the police, did you?

Even after all this,

you're still worried about your brother?

They weren't always like this.

My brother is just in his early twenties.

I hope you can give him a chance.

With my mom's condition,

I really can't bear it.

You keep enabling him like this.

It's irresponsible to yourself

and to him as well.

What if next time he owes billions?

How will you pay for that?

Don't worry.

We'll say your brother borrowed the car.

He won't go to jail.

Xiaomo.

I've brought Baoxu to you.

He's admitted his mistake.

It's just that...

he pawned the car.

He's really worthless.

If you could give me a few more tens of thousands,

I can redeem the car.

You're quite bold,

causing trouble at Longteng Pharmaceuticals.

This is between my daughter and your boss.

Who are you?

Stay out of this.

Ouch!

Mom,

help me!

Don't hurt my son!

I saw you yesterday

driving away our boss's car.

Return the car

and I'll let your son go.

That car has no license plate

and was impounded by the police.

I don't care.

I just want you

to bring the car back in one piece.

Otherwise,

I think

you'll do just fine in prison.

I was such a fool.

You've got some serious pull,

getting Director Wang to assign me this case.

I've figured it all out for you.

Dawang Pharmaceuticals and the Luo family who caused trouble before

are closely connected.

Their boss, Fang Ping, disappeared right after the incident.

The specific details

can only be clarified when this person returns.

That's about what I expected.

No rush.

Hey,

could you drop me off at Xinglin Garden on your way back?

Why should I?

Just consider it a favor to your old uncle.

Shut up.

Stay in line, everyone.

No cutting in line.

The master doctor will be here soon.

You ended up giving me a ride anyway.

Good thing we're not late.

What are the symptoms?

My wife is pregnant

and she's been feeling unwell lately.

She even says she's dying.

Please help.

I won't see her.

You can leave.

What kind of master doctor is this?

No medical ethics whatsoever.

Doctor!

Help!

The doctor hit someone!

Ah!

Miracle doctor.

Help!

The doctor hit someone!

Clear the area!

No need.

Take that other guy out too.

Good at hiding, aren't you?

Let me play along then.

You!

You have no medical ethics.

I'm reporting you all!

Quite dedicated.

Getting just 1,000 yuan to fake an injury.

Will that cover your actual medical bills?

Stop twitching on the floor.

A man wanting to get pregnant?

I suggest you see a neurologist.

Even if these two are scammers,

you shouldn't hit an elderly person.

Look, he's coughing up blood!

At least buy better fake blood.

The color isn't even right.

Got enough footage?

Ms. Reporter,

need help with a headline?

'Unethical Miracle Doctor:

Blood Splattered Five Steps Away.

Is Xinglin Garden saving lives or taking them?'

Give me back my husband!

Return my husband!

You unethical doctor!

My husband took your medicine yesterday

and today he's dead!

My husband was only 40.

He just had a stomachache,

but they prescribed the wrong medicine

and killed him!

Cao Rui,

didn't you want to practice the Thirteen Exorcism Needles?

Here's the perfect opportunity.

The Thirteen Exorcism Needles

can even bring the dead back to life.

You can't desecrate a corpse like this!

What?

He can still be saved.

Never mind then.

Haven't practiced for days.

Getting rusty.

Hahaha!

This dead man has quite the lung capacity!

That's enough.

If you use all those needle techniques,

he might actually die.

He was doing fine holding his breath,

but with all this random stabbing,

nobody could survive that.

Ah!

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

Why are you unhappy?

Your husband is alive.

Hmph.

A mere yellow-rank warrior

dares to make trouble here.

You don't want your husband anymore?

He can't leave.

You've paralyzed him.

Ah.

That's enough.

Let the police handle it.

In media,

objectivity is what matters.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't mind having Gu Media help spread your story.

The miracle doctor is right.

Tomorrow's headline is set:

'Miracle Doctor Heals the World,

Villain Gets Paralyzed.'

Xiaofan,

that arrogant woman is here again.

Let her wait.

I'll go after I finish with these patients.

Dr. Ye,

I'm giving you one more chance.

Name your price.

Don't make enemies with the Gao family.

10 million.

20 million.

That's a lot of money,

but I don't care for it.

I only believe in one thing:

all lives are equal.

It seems

you won't believe until you see the coffin.

These underhanded methods

won't cure Mr. Gao.

Hurry up.

Only eight days left.

Bring more gifts next time.

Hello,

Director Zhou.

Come quickly to Maiqing Hospital's ICU.

Mayor Zhu has been in a car accident.

Senior,

Mayor Zhu's condition is critical.

Closed fracture in his left arm,

torn muscles in his right thigh,

comminuted fracture in his leg bone,

no blood supply to his right leg.

It seems we can't save it.

And next week is the mayoral election.

I understand.

Let's take a look first.

Since you've invited me here,

it's for my professional opinion.

Based on the test data,

I believe

we must amputate immediately.

This is the Deputy Director of Maiqing Second Hospital,

Bai Zetao, known as the 'Surgical Blade.'

Let's think about this again.

Amputation

is a serious matter for Mayor Zhu.

Unless absolutely necessary,

who wouldn't want the patient to leave healthy and whole?

But look at these readings.

If we don't amputate now,

we might not even save his life.

You can't save it,

but I can.

Let me check his pulse.

What?

Not possible?

In the field of surgery,

what problem can pulse-taking solve?

It's okay.

It's a bit complicated,

but amputation won't be necessary.

You're

Mayor Zhu.

This is my senior fellow apprentice,

a genuine heir of ancient medicine.

You can trust him.

There's truly no need for amputation.

I can not only heal your leg,

but also ensure you won't miss next week's event.

Hmph.

What nonsense.

Human tissue recovery takes time.

Attending an event next week?

What a ridiculous claim.

I'll make this promise:

if you can heal Mr. Zhu,

I'll resign as deputy director

and retire to spend time with my grandchildren.

What's this?

In such a hurry to retire?

You...

My treatment

requires the patient's complete cooperation.

Mayor Zhu,

if you trust me,

I can definitely help your life

return to normal.

Mayor Zhu,

I can vouch for my senior fellow apprentice.

Medicine is a science,

not something that works on guarantees.

Dr. Ye,

Maiqing still needs me,

so I must risk everything.

Begin the treatment.

Alright,

leave it to me.

First, take this medicinal pill.

It will enhance your body's recovery function.

Stop!

How can you give a patient

such unregulated medicine?

Mr. Zhu?

My leg...

is starting

to regain feeling.

What?

How...

How is this possible?

My legs

are

regaining feeling.

What?

How

is that possible?

My hands

can move now.

Ah!

This is the Bodhi Hand technique.

Bodhi sweeps over the body,

reconnecting broken tendons,

mystical energy enters the sick body,

tissues renewed like new.

I never thought

you knew this technique, senior.

So that means

Mayor Zhu's leg can definitely be saved.

Hmph.

Saved?

I want him to stand up by himself tomorrow.

Watch carefully.

This is the third method of the Nine Soul-Returning Needles.

Bone strengthening.

No!

Mayor Zhu has been investigating corruption.

If he gets reelected,

my fate will be even worse.

Truly a young hero indeed.

It seems I misjudged you.

Wait.

Why did the oxygen level suddenly drop?

Increase the oxygen flow!

Stop right there!

Save Mayor Zhu first.

Dr. Bai,

please reset the equipment.

Why was it set to this value?

I'm afraid

someone doesn't want to give up their position as Deputy Director.

You...

Don't make false accusations!

A doctor should be compassionate.

How could I interfere with treatment?

No,

it's just equipment failure.

Yes,

equipment failure.

It has nothing to do with me.

Whether it does or not,

you know best.

Besides, I've successfully treated him.

It's time for you to keep your promise.

I...

I was just speaking in anger.

It doesn't count.

I saw all your little tricks

just now.

You are suspended

and under investigation immediately.

Who are you?

What do you want?

I'm here

to help you get revenge.

Thank you, Dr. Ye.

You've saved my life

twice today.

Saving lives

is just a doctor's duty.

Yes,

just doing my duty.

Today you cleared the path for me

and treated me.

Next week,

I'll dedicate everything to Maiqing.

I'm counting on you

for my recovery treatment.

It's my obligation.

Bring that

arrogant kid

over here.

Master,

we've already enhanced them

as you instructed.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave.

Come on,

Ye Bufan.

There are many old friends here

who want to catch up with you.

Chuchu,

what are you doing here?

I have nowhere to go.

Can you take me in?

Of course,

my home is your home.

I've been sitting too long.

My legs are numb.

Help me up.

Then don't walk.

There's no other woman's hair on it, is there?

You're more likely to find gorilla hair.

Tell me,

what happened?

I'm guessing it has to do with the Gao family.

You guessed right.

Qiao Lina found me

and wanted me to force you to treat Gao Jiajun.

I refused.

They threatened to cut off trade with the Qin family

and made my grandfather kick me off the board.

They said whenever I change my mind,

I can go back.

If you want to go back,

I can treat Gao Jiajun.

I don't want you to suffer.

I've already left anyway.

If not, you'll have to support me forever.

This house is big,

the bed is big too,

enough for two people.

As long as you don't mind me.

I told you,

my home is your home.

The Qin Group is blind,

but I'm not.

I know,

it's just...

I still feel resentful.

I worked so hard for the Qin Group,

but in the end, Qin Guowei still outranked me.

What makes him better than me?

Just because he's a man

who begs for favors from the Gao family?

I've proven many times

that he's not as good as me.

I believe you.

Don't worry.

In just a few days,

you'll be able to go back.

Sigh.

Let's not talk about that yet.

Right now,

I only hope

that you'll stay with me.

It would be my honor.

Hey.

It's from Xiao Mo.

You should answer it.

I want to know why she's calling

so late at night.

It's me.

What is it?

If you want to save An Yimo,

you have two hours

to transfer 30 million to my account.

Then come to me alone.

Don't!

Hahaha!

I've sent you the address.

If you don't come,

you'll face the consequences.

This is insane.

Completely insane.

You're all crazy.

Kidnapping is a serious crime.

I'll make it up to you in the next life.

But in this life,

you need to behave yourself.

Quite clever,

finding a place like this.

This won't work.

I might not even reach An Yimo

before these guys drain all my energy.

This won't work.

I'm afraid before I even see An Yimo,

these guys will drain all my energy.

Mr. Ye, the good Samaritan,

need any help?

Perfect.

Use these modified humans to test your skills.

Master Ye,

you go ahead.

Leave this to us.

Less talk,

more action.

This kidnapping

isn't simple.

Do you want to bring more people with you?

Can you handle it alone?

This is clearly aimed at me.

Bringing more people won't help.

Alright.

Xiao Mo is my best friend.

You must rescue her safely.

Hello,

is this Officer He?

Xiao Fan is in danger now.

We need your help.

Lost your job today,

and by evening you're tainted with evil energy.

That's quite efficient.

Haha!

All thanks to you.

Mr. Luo.

I remember you and this Mr. Bai

were taken away for investigation, weren't you?

Someone helped me out,

just so I could deal with you.

My decades of medical expertise,

I never thought you'd use it for such evil.

Sorry,

I'm in a hurry.

No time for your nonsense.

You're asking for death!

So arrogant!

Now you don't need to hurry anymore.

Just die properly.

I didn't expect

even a rushed enhancement

would have such strong evil energy.

I guess

your obsession with me must be quite deep.

Enough talk!

Die!

Sorry,

I really am in a hurry.

It seems using the Bodhi Hand technique to treat Mayor Zhu

has drained me too much.

Xiaofan!

Stay back!

Something's wrong with them.

Of course something's wrong.

They're being controlled.

Run!

She told you to run.

Didn't you hear her?

Don't worry.

They're just unconscious.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

At least everything's fine now.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Everything's fine now.

I'm sorry.

Hahaha!

To deal with you,

I've really gone all out.

As you instructed,

we've enhanced them.

However,

all these investments

are worth it

if I can kill you.

This dagger made of killing energy

will soon infect you.

Then,

you'll have only two choices.

Die in agony,

or

end it quickly yourself.

Would you like me to make it quick for you?

Hahaha!

Hang in there.

He can't hold on.

I can't last much longer.

Well, well,

little police lady.

Why don't you

offer your body to me too?

Oh my.

Officer lady,

why don't you offer your body

to me as well?

Haha.

Stop resisting.

It won't take two minutes.

Ye is finished too.

I thought

you understood the gap between us.

Your current behavior

is extremely foolish.

That's because

you've never had

anything worth protecting.

Stop right there!

Impossible!

I clearly stabbed you.

You're overthinking.

If it weren't to ensure Xiaomo's safety,

I wouldn't bother playing along with this charade.

This...

how is this possible?

Besides,

are you sure you fully controlled her?

You planned everything,

but unfortunately,

Xiaomo tried her hardest

to slow down the stabbing motion.

It was just that moment

that gave me time to react.

Impossible!

Even so,

that evil energy should have corrupted you.

You really are as stupid as I said.

I originally wanted to use Shuangshuang to buy time

to find your true form and deal with you,

but I didn't expect

your true form wouldn't be nearby.

Haha.

Thanks for your explanation.

You won't escape today.

You think you can?

You really think I can't handle you?

Kill me,

kill this girl who fought so hard for you.

Would you?

Haha.

Actually,

I am a doctor.

Thirteen Needles to Dispel Evil.

I'll remember this debt.

Are you okay?

I'm not going to make it.

I

before I die,

hope you can

grant me

one last

wish.

Stop acting like my uncle.

Will you?

Though I appreciate your help,

pulling these tricks in front of a doctor

is questioning my professional integrity.

Annoying.

Irritating.

Move aside.

By the way,

after causing such a big incident,

will Xiao Mo be in trouble?

Although I'd like to arrest her,

as long as you don't press charges,

she'll be fine.

You came out alone?

Yes.

What about the files?

I'm done playing games with you all.

Chuchu,

you should rest if you're feeling okay.

I need to complete some paperwork with the police.

Oh,

thank you so much for today.

Without you,

I couldn't have managed alone.

Thank you, Miss Qin, for your help.

The police have successfully rescued Mr. Ye.

Mr. Ye won't be going home tonight.

You'll be busy tonight.

Report,

we found a tripod setup,

likely used for recording.

Someone must have been monitoring the scene.

And the recording equipment has been removed.

Let's go check.

No need.

There's no point going back.

That's true.

Tracking the recording equipment is useless anyway.

It's so easy to transfer videos nowadays.

If they wanted to send it, they already have.

Could this be targeting you again?

Master,

you've been planning for so long

and used so many people but still couldn't handle Ye Bufan.

How could I possibly deal with him?

Mr. Luo,

don't misunderstand.

I'm not here to negotiate with you.

Follow orders

and live.

Refuse to listen

and die.

Master,

I await your instructions.

Don't be afraid.

Secretary Qiao has brought back detailed data.

Next time you deal with Ye Bufan,

it won't be difficult at all.

Defeat Ye Bufan,

and I'll give you your freedom.

Time is limited.

Make arrangements quickly.

Take care, Master.

I thought after getting rid of Xuanji,

things would calm down for a while.

Never expected in the end...

Mr. Luo,

even if I die,

I'll go with you.

No,

we'll live well.

Sky shatters clouds.

The police have finished questioning.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that.

When you talk like that

I feel like you're going to stab me again.

Don't overthink it.

Everything's fine now, isn't it?

Why think so much?

Come on

Let's go have a drink to clear our minds.

Don't be like this.

Drinking like that won't clear your mind at all.

I'm sorry.

I...

No, no, no

I'm really fine

Look if you don't believe me.

But I did hurt you.

It's all my fault.

Sir

Your car was just in a collision

The other driver is demanding compensation

Please go handle it.

Alright.

Help me look after her.

I'll be right back.

This girl is really hot.

Little Prince

Is that you?

It's me.

It's me.

Hahaha.

I am your Little Prince.

How do you drive?

I'll fire you when we get back.

You were able to dodge instantly

Your reflexes are pretty good.

What are you doing?

Do you know who I am?

If you mess with me

Mess with you?

So what?

I

I'm the young master of the Tian family.

Little Prince.

Little Prince.

Today I need to take care of her.

You're lucky.

Get lost.

Don't let me see you again.

Useless

No help at all when it matters.

Meeting time.

Chuchu,

why are you

drunk

and still working?

No, no.

Am

I

causing trouble for you all again?

This guy

just loves causing trouble.

Besides, this isn't your fault.

No, no, no.

I can't drink anymore.

What are you thinking?

This is a sobering medicine I asked Xiaofan to prepare.

Drink it

and you'll sober up.

Sober up?

How about I treat you?

I'll take you both

for a few more drinks later.

Ah!

Please don't!

Alright.

I'm just joking with you.

Now that I'm unemployed,

why don't

you arrange a job for me too?

Sure.

But I think

Qin Corporation will come for you soon.

You two keep talking.

I have something to do

so I'll go first.

Whether it's a man or woman,

I won't ask.

After all, we still rely on Boss Ye to make a living.

Stop joking around.

We're all friends here.

Chuchu,

don't worry.

Although I also work for Xiaofan,

but

in my heart,

there's only the Piano Prince.

I'm going now.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Just

if you find the Piano Prince,

remember to let me know.

Sure.

Thanks to you,

this auction house has been acquired by the Dong family from the provincial capital.

They're planning

to hold a worldwide marketplace auction.

This auction's quality isn't even as good as last time.

At least last time there was a demon-refining bottle.

Hahaha!

Auctions are all about luck.

But sometimes buyers bring their own items to auction.

Perhaps

you might be interested.

Hmph.

Why did he leave as soon as he saw you?

He's afraid he won't be able to resist giving me more gifts.

Pretty bold, aren't you?

You mess with me

and still dare to show your face?

Mr. Huo,

get him.

You dare?

He Shuangshuang,

others may fear the He family,

but I don't.

Mr. Huo,

do it.

Miss He,

excuse me.

Stop!

This is the Tianxia Market auction.

Who dares cause trouble?

Manager Fei.

Please make an exception.

Just one minute.

Outside,

you can do whatever you want.

I don't care.

But if you cause trouble here,

I'll put your entire family

on the blacklist.

Just wait.

Once you step outside,

even the He family can't protect you.

How did you provoke this mad dog?

He tried to break the law,

and I stopped him.

The Tian family is a powerful clan in Maiqing,

with deep roots.

Tian Sheng himself isn't much to worry about,

but his brother Tian Pojun and sister Tian Ruyi

are not to be trifled with.

Especially Tian Ruyi,

who is ruthless.

You must be careful.

If the Tian family wants to end up like Luo Wentao,

I don't mind.

Treasures from around the world gather here,

only bidding reveals true destiny.

Today is our Tianxia Market's

first auction at this venue.

Thank you, distinguished guests, for coming from afar.

Without further ado,

let's look at our first item.

'Whose jade flute sends forth its hidden sound,

spreading with spring breeze throughout Luoyang.'

This jade flute is of superior quality

and crafted by a master.

It is both exquisite and elegant.

The starting bid is 50,000,

with minimum increments of 2,000.

Now,

let the bidding begin.

100,000.

150,000.

200,000.

1 million.

2 million.

3 million.

4 million.

4.5 million.

So you know about musical instruments?

6.6 million.

Not at all.

Just toying with fools.

Congratulations, Young Master Tian,

for winning the jade flute at 6.6 million.

3 million.

5 million.

Congratulations to Mr. Tian for winning with a bid of 8 million.

So Young Master Tian enjoys being a sucker.

The next item is an ancient sword.

Date unknown.

Authenticated as an ancient personal sword.

Starting bid: 200,000.

Minimum increment: 10,000.

200,000.

You dare trick me.

Let's see how you like being tricked.

3 million.

6.5 million.

If you've got money, go ahead and bid.

Still trying to play me.

Not so easy.

Let's make you bleed some money too.

Any more bids?

Congratulations,

this ancient sword goes to Mr. Ye.

Go ahead and pretend.

Acting happy over a piece of junk.

This...

this is actually

the ancient Dragon Tooth sword.

Mr. Ye,

would you consider parting with it?

I'm willing to offer 10 million.

Sorry,

Mr. Tian let me have this sword.

Selling it would reject his kindness.

I'll offer 20 million.

That's all I have.

Sorry.

Manager Fei,

I had my eye on this sword too.

Are you really confident about winning every bid?

By observing the flow of energy in his body,

I can tell when he's just driving up the price.

And when he truly wants to compete.

It's like he's playing with his cards face up.

You actually got yourself a treasure.

Just wait.

You won't be able to win a single item soon.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Young Master Tian.

How about that?

I said you wouldn't get anything,

and you didn't.

Hahaha!

What are you laughing at?

Young Tian is so generous.

Even willing to spend a fortune on fakes.

What did you say?

This is an auction item from Tianxia Market.

How could it possibly be fake?

Auctions have always been about willing buyers and sellers.

Occasional authentication errors are normal.

The blame lies only with

buyers who lack discernment.

Mr. Ye is right.

We're only human.

Mistakes in authentication are inevitable sometimes.

How do you know you're not the one who's mistaken?

If Young Master Tian is willing,

I wouldn't mind authenticating it for you.

Hmph.

This was authenticated by professional appraisers.

However,

if you enjoy public humiliation,

I'll give you this opportunity.

Look here.

Look at what?

Listen, Ye,

I paid 50 million for this painting.

How dare you!

You should go back and study more.

This thread here

is called nylon.

The year nylon was invented,

I don't need to say more, do I?

Please take your painting back, Young Master Tian.

It's so expensive,

I dare not take responsibility.

Take what?

Burn it.

Bad luck.

This guy

is something else.

1 million.

Hmph.

He seems to have backed down.

Probably planning something nasty.

This is the last item, added temporarily to this auction.

A rare 500-year-old yang ginseng.

This ginseng

contains the essence of heaven and earth.

It can extend life and promote longevity,

strengthen kidneys and restore vitality.

Those interested,

please bid now.

6 million.

8 million.

9 million.

10 million.

30 million.

So young,

yet already needing tonics?

Young Master Tian,

care to join in?

Not interested.

I'm in perfect health.

Don't need this stuff.

Oh,

I see.

Spending 50 million on fake paintings is more your interest.

You...

You just wait.

30 million, first call.

30 million, second call.

30 million, third time.

Why did you buy that?

Is something wrong with your body?

This is a rare item.

It can be used to make Sheng Yuan pills

to enhance your cultivation.

Besides,

this Yang Ginseng

isn't just 500 years old,

but a thousand years old.

If you were to resell it,

it would be worth over 100 million.

You'd make a fortune then.

You won't be the one profiting.

Hand over the Yang Ginseng,

and that sword,

pay me 100 million,

and send that girl from yesterday to my place.

Then I might consider sparing your life.

Young Master Tian,

this isn't right.

Robbery is a serious crime.

Miss He is watching right there.

I'm just asking someone to spar with him.

Mind your own business.

Get lost.

Just sparring for a prize, huh?

Let's do it then.

Mr. Huo,

please.

Young man,

if I'm too harsh,

please forgive me.

I'm just doing what I'm paid for.

You're actually at Xuan level?

Still want to fight?

Kid,

you just wait.

This isn't over.

Indeed it's not.

Come on,

a bet is a bet.

Show me the good items you bought today.

I'll pick some to take with me.

You wouldn't dare.

I think I would.

What about you?

You useless fool!

I gave everything I bought today to that guy.

The contract clearly states

I won't put myself in danger.

You're the one who's not thinking straight,

picking a fight with a Xuan-level master.

Let go!

Big...

Brother,

I was wrong!

Hello everyone,

welcome to today's Maiqing News.

This month,

many citizens have fallen victim to telecom fraud.

I'll nurture it first,

then decide how to deal with it later.

Today,

at the summer auction held in Maiqing City...

Many bidders stated that

the surprise highlight of this auction was a Yang Ginseng,

which was purchased by a man for the high price of 30 million.

According to our reporter,

the man is the director of a medical clinic

who bought the expensive ginseng

to promote his clinic's reopening.

It seems

someone wants to put me in the hot seat.

You're not taking me to work?

Why don't you go with Xiao Mo to check out Longteng first?

If there are any management issues,

you can help give some advice.

I'm too busy here.

Xinglin Garden is fully booked every day.

If it's too busy, just set up an appointment system.

Doctors need rest too.

That's true.

I'll arrange it later.

I'm still fine.

It's mainly that Dr. Cao and Dr. Lu are getting old.

They might not be able to handle it.

By the way,

the news about you buying the thousand-year-old ginseng

is now known throughout the city.

Rumors say this ginseng can even revive mummies.

I think there must be a conspiracy behind this.

You need to be careful.

I'll ask Shuangshuang to look into it.

Shuangshuang?

Who else?

Contact the Special Intelligence Bureau?

Shuangshuang it is then.

Master Ye always has solutions.

Since we started using the number system,

the order is much better.

No one's blocking the courtyard anymore.

It's my fault for not taking care of it earlier.

Now Dr. Cao and Dr. Lu can finally catch a breath.

I finally have time to rest too.

What are you doing?

Take a number if you want to see a doctor.

Why are you getting physical?

Who is Ye Bufan?

Hand over the thousand-year-old ginseng now.

Song Aoshuang.

What are you doing?

If you want treatment, go get a number and wait in line.

What's going on?

Looking for trouble?

You troublemakers are here too?

Seems this isn't a proper medical clinic after all.

What did you say?

She is...

Her name is Song Aoshuang.

She's from the Maiqing Martial Arts Association.

Her father Song Tie is the master of Zhenwu Martial Arts School.

And

he's also the senior disciple of the Maiqing Martial Arts Association's chairman.

This Song Aoshuang relies on her background.

Nobody has dared to mess with her for years.

Be less impulsive in the future.

So you're Ye Bufan.

Give me the ginseng.

No.

Kid.

I'm giving you a chance.

Hand over the Yang Ginseng,

and you'll be a friend of our Zhenwu Martial Arts School.

Not interested.

If you refuse the easy way, you'll have to take the hard way.

Seems I need to teach you a lesson.

What a coincidence.

I also think solving problems

definitely requires some reasoning.

You dare hit me?

This principle

is called action and reaction.

Have you learned it?

Ye Bufan.

Bullying the weak

and taking by force

shows no virtue.

Low skill level

and reckless provocation

shows ignorance.

Cut the crap.

That Yang Ginseng

will be mine today, no matter what.

Refusing to repent

and acting recklessly.

Look at yourself.

You don't look like a martial artist at all.

What are you doing?

You come to steal things

and hurt my friend.

I think

freezing you right here

would make a nice yard decoration.

You wouldn't dare!

The Martial Arts Association won't let you get away with this.

Master Ye.

Though we're in the right,

it's not wise to make such enemies.

Release the pressure points,

or if my father finds out...

You all...

What have you done?

A martial artist

should value benevolence above all.

You have neither talent nor virtue.

Martial arts will only make you die faster.

I'm just destroying your dantian,

saving your life, actually.

You!

Father!

He destroyed my dantian!

I came today at Mr. Gao's request

to ask for your medical service.

Who knew you, evil doctor,

with your corrupt medical ethics,

would dare harm my daughter!

Don't you want to ask

why I destroyed her dantian?

I was only trying to get the Yang Ginseng for my master.

In the path of martial arts,

the strong are respected.

No matter what she did wrong,

I should be the one to deal with it.

The dantian is a martial artist's foundation.

By destroying her dantian,

you've ruined her entire life.

Your stance is not bad,

but your power is weak.

Nonsense!

A master of the Xuan level!

Didn't you just say

in the path of martial arts,

the strong are respected?

Hmph!

My Song family is a martial arts lineage.

How could we fear you?

Today,

if I don't get justice for Aoshuang,

I'm not worthy to be a father.

Dad,

what happened to your hands?

Don't worry.

My hands are just ruined, that's all.

You've cut off my father's martial arts path.

In the world of martial arts,

strength is respected above all.

If he can't practice anymore,

it's because he wasn't strong enough.

Don't you agree?

Master Ye,

you've offended the entire Maiqing Martial Arts Association now.

If the Martial Arts Association is full of people who can't tell right from wrong

and bullies who abuse their power,

then offending them

was only a matter of time.

Did I say you could leave?

What?

Are you planning to finish us off completely?

All of you people,

it never ends.

Call everyone behind you to come as well.

Let's settle this once and for all,

instead of you causing trouble every other day.

Kid,

you're truly arrogant beyond limits.

Fine.

You just wait.

I've already sent our location to Master,

he's on his way here now.

Soon,

I'll burn this clinic to the ground.

What are you burning?

Flyers from several maternity centers,

kindergarten enrollment guides,

and international bilingual elementary school rankings.

Does this mean

you're giving up on matching Shuangshuang with Dr. Ye?

Dr. Ye is great,

but he's too good.

The young lady of the Sima family seems to like him too.

I'm worried if Shuangshuang gets too involved with him...

Sima Wei is often not in Maiqing,

she's not worth worrying about.

The Qin family girl

is Shuangshuang's real competitor.

I think our Shuangshuang compared to that Qin girl

still has some advantages.

What should we do then?

Can you restore what's been burned?

The young lady of the Sima family seems to like him too.

I'm worried if Shuangshuang still gets entangled with him.

Sima Wei is often not in Maiqing.

It's not worth worrying about.

The Qin family girl

is Shuangshuang's real competitor.

I think our Shuangshuang compared to that Qin girl

still has some advantages.

What should we do then?

Can you restore something that's been burned?

It's good that it burned.

Though Dr. Ye is skilled

if he makes a mistake

it won't be a small matter.

Our He family

may not be able to protect him.

This mystical fire control technique is the foundation of alchemy.

If you want to learn, you must start from the basics.

Master Ye.

I have a lighter.

Have you ever seen anyone using a lighter for alchemy?

Use your brain, will you, brother?

You two did very well last time.

However

medicine brewing

exorcism

medical skills

all need to keep up.

Maiqing now has undercurrents flowing.

Relying on me alone

is not enough to turn the tide.

This guy

is quite something.

It's just playing with fire

like a circus act

what fighting power could he have?

Well.

We've all been careless.

Some days ago

I came seeking medical help.

Unfortunately, Xinglin Garden had an incident.

I thought

the Lu family's medical skills would have no successor

didn't expect it to reopen so soon.

You misunderstand.

This Xinglin Garden

is now under Dr. Ye Bufan's management.

Though Dr. Ye is young

his medical skills are excellent.

My illness was cured by him.

Hahaha!

Well,

what a coincidence!

It's fate.

Aoshuang also found this clinic for me.

So...

What's going on?

Master,

you must help me get justice!

This Ye not only destroyed my cultivation,

but also injured my father.

Is that so?

Why didn't you

just punish me yourself?

The conflict happened at Xinglin Garden,

not at the Martial Arts Association.

I think

there must be more to this story.

Chairman Wu,

Song Aoshuang tried to forcibly take the yang ginseng,

and Master Ye disabled her dantian in response.

Elder Song Tie was desperate to protect his daughter,

and wouldn't listen to our explanations.

He attacked immediately,

so Master Ye disabled his hands.

Is that what happened?

Well,

it's because I wanted to...

Master,

what are you doing?

You fools!

On your first day,

I taught you to cultivate virtue through martial arts.

But instead,

one of you bullies others with power,

and the other can't tell right from wrong.

I'm so disappointed in you.

Master, please calm down.

What good does it do for me to calm down?

Go apologize to Dr. Ye now!

Dr. Ye,

I'm sorry.

I know this yang ginseng is precious,

and I have no money,

but my master's internal injury couldn't wait,

so I just...

Nonsense!

If everyone acted like you,

being poor would justify stealing.

Dr. Ye was being merciful.

If I had stepped in,

you wouldn't be able to walk for half a month.

Hmph!

Dr. Ye,

I failed to discipline them properly,

allowing these two idiots to offend you.

But considering their filial intentions,

please show them mercy.

I don't have much savings in my life,

but I still have 2 million in my account.

I'll transfer it to Dr. Ye as compensation.

Young Brother Ye,

Chairman Wu is my good friend,

and has always been upright in character.

Please be lenient.

I don't want the money.

Let's put this matter to rest.

Dr. Ye is being generous.

You two should thank him now.

Thank you, Dr. Ye.

Elder Tang, what brings you here today?

There are too many people here.

Let's talk somewhere else.

Young Brother Ye,

though Song Tie can be a bit overbearing at times,

he's not an evil person.

Seeing him in such pain,

is his life in danger?

We were in the wrong first.

We accept the consequences.

Come here.

That's all.

Not yet.

Take good care of yourself.

Don't fight with anyone for the next 3 days.

You'll fully recover after 3 days.

Thank you, Dr. Ye, for your treatment.

You're looking for me.

You must have something else to discuss.

Today I...

I actually came about Chairman Wu's condition.

I'm ashamed.

I failed to discipline my students properly.

How could I have the face to ask Dr. Ye for treatment?

Dr. Ye.

A thousand mistakes.

It's all my fault.

You can punish me however you want.

Please don't take your anger out on my master.

Punish as you see fit.

You...

Don't you care about

the relationships built by Zhenwu Martial Arts School

and the reputation of Maiqing Martial Arts Association?

I...

I know I was wrong.

I only ask Dr. Ye

to consider that my master is blameless

and not refuse to treat him.

Sigh.

Please get up first.

Young Mr. Ye.

I wonder how much you know about Maiqing's martial arts history.

I'm just a doctor.

I don't know much about martial arts affairs.

Please, Elder Tang, tell me about it.

Actually,

Brother Tianxi's internal injuries

are related to Maiqing's martial arts history.

Ten years ago,

was a chaotic time when the martial arts world was developing.

Many schools emerged,

fighting endlessly.

The huge gap between martial artists and ordinary people

threw all of Maiqing into chaos.

Until Sword Saint Situ Changkong appeared,

establishing the National Martial Arts Association.

Only then did the conflicts subside.

Ten years ago

the National Martial Arts Association had just been established

and couldn't fully reach every area.

During this time,

a criminal named Li Tianxing

gathered all sorts of riffraff

and established the Dajiang Gang in Maiqing

committing all kinds of crimes.

For a while,

all of Maiqing was in chaos.

To fight against Li Tianxing,

Brother Tianxi rallied righteous fighters

and established the Maiqing Martial Arts Association

to hunt down Li Tianxing's Dajiang Gang.

In that battle,

if Brother Wu Tianxi hadn't stepped in,

I would have died by Li Tianxing's blade.

Sigh.

You're too kind, Tang.

Back then,

my skills weren't refined enough.

Otherwise,

we wouldn't be in this situation today.

What?

Didn't you drive Li Tianxing away?

That's what the Association has been saying all these years.

Later,

Brother Wu and Li Tianxing had their final battle at Langya Mountain peak.

In the end, both were severely injured.

Li Tianxing, under pressure, swore an oath

to flee overseas

and not return to Maiqing for ten years.

And Brother Tianxi's internal injuries

were sustained at that time

preventing his martial skills from advancing since then.

I only knew that Master's condition was worsening

but didn't know there was such a story behind it.

Young Ye,

Maiqing's peace today

is largely thanks to Brother Tianxi.

My Tang family's current standing

is also due to Brother Tianxi's kindness.

So please,

for my sake,

could you help treat him?

Dr. Ye,

my illness isn't important,

but the ten-year agreement has expired

and Li Tianxing has returned to challenge us.

If the Maiqing Martial Arts Association is defeated,

I fear this place will fall into chaos again.

Isn't he afraid of Master Situ

or the National Martial Arts Association?

Their challenge this time

follows martial arts protocol

so the National Association can't intervene.

Please, Dr. Ye, treat my master

don't let the people of Maiqing suffer.

Let's skip all these formalities.

Since we've come this far,

how could I refuse to treat you?

Thank you, Brother Ye.

Thank you for your generosity, Dr. Ye.

Dr. Ye,

you're not using yang ginseng,

can you really cure my grand-master with just these few needles?

Aoshuang,

don't be disrespectful.

Dr. Ye knows what he's doing.

But

without that yang ginseng,

I'm afraid your martial powers cannot be restored.

We've consulted so many famous doctors for acupuncture,

but at best they could only slow down the spread of your internal injuries.

Do you really think

that with yang ginseng,

Master Wu's internal injuries could be cured?

Huh?

Isn't that true?

I've heard

that yang ginseng can cure hundreds of ailments,

especially severe internal injuries.

It nourishes the body

and promotes recovery.

You also valued these properties of yang ginseng,

that's why you paid such a high price for it, right?

Judging from Master Wu's injuries,

the martial art that Li Tianxing practiced

must have been the Blazing Palm technique.

Master Wu's meridians were damaged by this very technique.

Dr. Ye's diagnosis is correct.

Li Tianxing did indeed use the Blazing Palm technique.

In this case,

if we used yang ginseng to treat Master Wu,

it would be like pouring oil on fire.

Whether he could even survive

would be questionable.

What?

Is that so?

Someone must be trying to create enmity between us,

and you

were almost used as their pawn.

Think about it.

Haven't you only heard these claims recently?

Nobody mentioned them before.

Master Wu,

please bear with the pain.

Your old wounds are deep,

and your condition has worsened,

so the treatment will be somewhat painful.

For the safety of Maiqing's citizens,

I can endure it.

Done.

The heart fire has been eliminated,

and your meridians can now heal on their own.

I'll give you a foundation pill later.

Your martial arts skills

should improve once again.

Thank you, Dr. Ye.

You said earlier

that if I saved Chairman Wu,

you'd accept any punishment.

Since you've shown understanding,

your punishment ends here.

Your dantian,

I've already repaired it for you.

A damaged dantian

is said to be irreversible,

but I can fix it.

Thank you for your magnanimity, Dr. Ye.

I can forgive you,

but I hope you won't forget

everything that happened today.

Hey, Shuangshuang.

What's wrong?

Xiaofan.

I've found out

that Yang Ginseng was added to the auction by the Luo family at the last minute.

And the follow-up press release

was all funded and arranged by the Luo family.

The previous kidnapping of An Yimo

also seems to have Luo Wentao's involvement behind it.

Good work.

It's about time we settle the score with him.

Mayor Zhu.

Congratulations on your re-election.

As a gift,

I plan to arrange a billion-yuan investment in Maiqing.

That's wonderful!

Mr. Gao, you have great vision.

Indeed.

I'm quite optimistic

about Maiqing's future development.

Mayor Zhu,

you've just been re-elected

and Maiqing is already receiving such a large investment.

This is truly one of your great achievements.

I heard

you're quite close with Ye Bufan.

We just need you to arrange for him to treat Mr. Gao.

What?

Mrs. Gao, do you think

that just because you're investing in Maiqing,

I should force my friend Ye to bow to you?

I heard

You're close with Ye Bufan.

We just need you to arrange for him to treat our Mr. Gao.

What?

Mrs. Gao thinks

Just because you invested in Maiqing

I should force my friend Ye to bow to you?

Hmph.

20 billion.

We can increase it to 20 billion.

Mayor Zhu,

you need to think carefully.

This is an opportunity for Maiqing to stand out nationally.

Mrs. Gao,

though Maiqing is facing difficulties,

they're not insurmountable.

As for you,

repeatedly causing trouble at Xinglin Garden,

many citizens have already complained to me.

Mr. Gao,

take care of yourself.

Goodbye.

So ungrateful.

I'll cut off your investment immediately.

I've told you so many times.

The most important thing now is to save my life,

but you've offended everyone.

I think

you don't want me to recover.

Darling,

you misunderstood.

Give me one more chance.

I'll definitely get Dr. Ye for you.

I didn't expect

Maiqing Martial Arts Association

would be handled by him so quickly.

President Luo,

your arrangements have been completed.

Will this really work?

Don't worry.

Xiao Qiao,

you've been with me for five years now, right?

President Luo,

it's been five years and seven months.

Sigh.

Five years.

We've had our ups and downs.

We've weathered all kinds of storms.

I never thought

we'd be pushed to this point by some young upstart.

President Luo,

no matter what happens,

I'll always be by your side.

After we deal with Ye Bufan,

I'll take you away from here.

At least

I won't be ordered around by masters anymore

without a moment of freedom.

I trust Mr. Luo.

This time

if anything happens,

I'll handle it.

Chuchu.

I need to work overtime

so I won't be coming home today.

Surveillance photos

and setting traps.

Looks like Luo Wentao has made thorough preparations.

It's time to pay him a visit.

It's me.

I need a small favor.

Mr. Luo has been waiting for you.

A guest is always welcome.

Please, have some tea.

Mr. Luo's tea

doesn't look very appetizing.

What's wrong?

Afraid it's poisoned?

I wouldn't go that far.

Mr. Luo's tea

really doesn't taste good.

How could that be?

The great Dr. Ye deserves

only the finest tea we can offer.

You flatter me, Mr. Luo.

Recently, Bawang Pharmaceuticals,

hospital disturbances,

and kidnappings.

Such a long list of evil deeds.

Your methods, Mr. Luo,

are truly impressive.

Those are trivial matters.

You managed to solve them all anyway.

Dr. Ye, you truly have extraordinary abilities.

From Mayor Mai Qing

to gang leaders,

everyone has become your friend.

Impressive.

Knowing how popular I am

and still targeting me.

That doesn't seem very wise, Mr. Luo.

Do you remember our first meeting?

Of course.

You generously offered me 300 million,

gave me treasures,

and a paradise retreat.

I should be thanking you.

Indeed.

I thought you were just a nobody then.

How surprising it turned out.

But toward your benefactor,

you show no gratitude

and repeatedly ruin my plans.

It breaks my heart.

Those who hurt me

always end up

with no way out.

Is that so?

Sorry to disappoint you.

Perhaps you should make another wish.

By the way,

your incense doesn't work on me.

Just testing it out.

Didn't expect it to be very effective anyway.

Since things have come to this point,

all talk and no action

wouldn't please Dr. Ye either.

This place is too small.

Let's move somewhere more spacious.

Why did you come here?

Hahaha!

You,

me,

and Qingyun Sect.

All the grudges

started from this place.

I'll end your life right here.

You want to kill me?

Do you really have what it takes, Mr. Luo?

You think

that to deal with you,

I'd only resort to hospital disturbances

and kidnapping tricks?

Then you've greatly underestimated me.

Xuanji of Qingyun Sect,

Xuanying,

Xuanhuo,

they were all hired by me to deal with you.

You're overthinking.

Evil has never triumphed over good.

You're destined to fail too.

Why go through all this trouble?

I just want to destroy you.

I hate that you competed with me for Chuchu.

I hate that you took my money and publicly humiliated me.

You ruined my business.

I wish I could tear you to pieces.

Oh my,

such a grudge holder.

Too bad you don't have what it takes.

I admit,

you do have some skills.

However,

more enemies have come for you.

Masters,

this is the demon who harmed Master Xuanji and others,

Ye Bufan.

Hahaha,

I quite like being called a demon.

Don't be so smug.

These two are true masters.

This is Zhang Daoquan, Left Guardian of Qingyun Sect.

This is Li Dao'an, Right Guardian of Qingyun Sect.

They've come to seek revenge against you.

Ye Bufan,

you're dead.

Qingyun Sect,

a cult of evil,

whose disciples commit countless crimes

and are filled with evil.

How dare you!

My Qingyun Sect

is not for you to judge.

You're asking for death.

I'll give you two minutes

to say your last words.

Well,

I'm not familiar with last words.

Why don't you demonstrate first?

Die!

Hmph!

You have no chance now.

Is that all?

What?

Just like that.

What?

I'm going to kill you.

What kind of weapon is that?

This?

You bought it cheap at that auction house before.

You're truly my benefactor.

Don't be too smug.

You're merely my pawn.

What do you mean?

Qingyun Sect is just a small faction.

Yet they've always been bossing me around.

You've conveniently solved my problem.

Well, well.

Looks like you've found a more powerful backer.

Hahaha!

Nice moves.

Quick reflexes too.

Hmph.

Backer.

More importantly,

you're carrying a treasure.

One look and I can't help but think,

'This sword is destined to be mine.'

Hmph.

Is that so?

I think your face is destined to meet my palm.

Hahaha!

What?

You don't know who I am?

This is the young master of the Liang family from the provincial capital,

Liang Haiwei.

Hai...

what turtle?

Hai...

sea turtle.

Hahaha!

Fine.

You've got guts.

Clean your neck and wait for your death.

Not bad.

As entertainment,

at least you didn't die immediately.

Keep struggling.

Prey that dies too quickly

isn't much fun to watch.

It's no use.

The hidden weapons are too dense.

I can't get close enough to attack,

nor can I use sword control for ranged attacks.

Ranged attacks.

Five Thunder Spell!

Disappointed?

Their suits

are completely insulated.

And they're heat-resistant

and corrosion-proof.

Your lightning

is useless against them.

It's fine.

Just testing their endurance.

Be careful, Young Master Liang.

He's defeated many experts with his silver needles.

The more eager the monkey,

the better the show, right?

Keep him on the defensive.

Ah!

He can still move after I sealed his pressure points.

What a pity.

Our family's special protective suits

have specific protection for the body's pressure points.

Those silver needles of yours

can only cause minor flesh wounds at best.

They won't affect their movements.

Oh,

I see.

However,

I wasn't counting on the needles to restrict their movements.

Not good!

Stay down!

What?

Make me lie down?

You don't have that privilege yet.

As expected of Young Master Liang.

The treasure my grandfather left me.

With your level of skill,

how can you compare to our martial arts family?

My Liang family's four generations of heritage.

Dealing with you -

you should feel honored.

Dodge all you want.

We have plenty of time.

Although you have treasures to enhance your power,

your aim is poor,

and you'll eventually run out of spiritual energy.

You're overthinking.

I have pills to replenish my spiritual energy.

How could I possibly run out?

Accept your fate.

A spoiled rich kid from the provincial city,

look how cocky you are.

You are...

You may not recognize me,

but this jade pendant -

you should recognize it, right?

This...

You're from the Sima family!

What's going on?

The Sima family...

Wait,

isn't the Sima family's young lady

supposed to be ugly?

That minor issue

was fixed by my friend long ago.

Your friend?

I...

I've never heard of you.

What,

do I need to report to you before making friends?

I wouldn't dare.

I wouldn't dare.

Were you enjoying beating up my friend just now?

No, no!

I...

I didn't know he was with you.

So you commit crimes without knowing who you're dealing with?

I'm going to tell your Liang family head.

You'll be skinned alive even if you don't die.

What?

Do I need to report to you before making friends?

No,

I wouldn't dare.

I wouldn't dare.

Did you enjoy beating up my friend just now?

No, that's not it.

I

didn't know he was your friend.

So you commit crimes without knowing who you're dealing with?

I'm going to tell Master Liang.

You'll be skinned alive even if you don't die.

Oh,

Miss,

please keep this matter

a secret.

Besides, the Knife Squad has been defeated.

Mr. Ye wasn't harmed.

Ridiculous.

You think you could hurt him?

I wouldn't dare.

I wouldn't dare.

They were just electrocuted,

not in any life-threatening danger.

Hurry up and thank my friend.

Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your mercy.

Is a thank you enough?

How do we settle your attack on him?

Front, back, left, right, top.

One hit from each direction.

His head got beaten quite evenly.

Mr. Ye.

Young Master Ye,

I'm truly sorry.

I was blind as a bat

to offend you like that.

Please,

forgive me this once.

Xiaofan.

Feel free to beat this guy up.

I'll take responsibility for whatever happens.

Forget it.

He was just deceived by someone.

The real problem

is right here.

Ha ha.

Don't think you've won.

Ha ha.

Not good.

We're surrounded by fire.

Wanhuo Fentian Formation.

This is a forbidden technique.

Once activated,

nothing can survive within the formation.

He wants to burn us all to death here.

Luo Wentao!

How dare you!

Stop right now!

Young Master Liang,

don't blame me.

After a series of failures,

I've realized something.

The final killing move

must be controlled by my own hands.

I gave up the auction house,

shut down the jade trading center,

spent countless wealth and energy,

all for this very moment.

Ye Bufan,

accept your death peacefully.

Ha ha ha ha!

This...

What should we do?

We can't get out.

This is bad.

I can't activate the formation.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ye Bufan,

give up.

Once this formation is activated,

it destroys heaven and earth.

It's completely unbreakable.

Five Thunder Formation!

Ha ha ha ha!

Go to hell!

What do we do?

Xiaofan,

think of something quickly!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

Found it!

Hmph!

My formation

can be activated continuously.

Just wait for your death.

Ha ha ha ha!

How is this possible?

When did you...?

Tsk.

I told you you were stupid,

but you wouldn't believe me.

No!

You know nothing about formations,

so how could you use it?

True.

This forbidden formation is indeed powerful.

You planned to sacrifice yourself

to trap me in the formation.

But what I don't understand is,

why did you bring the activation device in here too?

How is that possible?

This can't be!

Ha ha ha ha!

The plan was supposed to be foolproof!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ye Bufan!

I'll kill you!

This is bad!

The evil energy is exploding!

I was going to show mercy

because you looked so pathetic.

Since you don't appreciate it,

don't blame me for what happens next.

Five Thunder Demon Destruction Formation!

I'll kill you!

Ha ha ha ha!

I'll kill you!

Ye.

Haha!

I won't let you get away with this.

Ah!

Xiaofan,

are you okay?

Sigh.

His obsession runs too deep.

Back then...

Don't pity him.

Before coming here, I did some research.

He's behind many criminal cases

in Maiqing City.

I leave this to you.

Thank you, Mr. Ye.

No,

Brother Ye.

Sima saved my life.

I'm staying here to clean up the mess.

What are you doing here?

I'm leaving right away.

Mr. Luo's massive business empire

has finally come to an end today.

That's what he gets for being so blind.

Too bad it's all gone now.

That sword strike of yours

already damaged it.

What are your plans now?

The third wheel is gone,

so now I can properly teach you the technique.

Weren't you

cleaning up?

Thank you for rushing over.

I was afraid I couldn't handle it alone.

When you need me,

I'll come back immediately.

Oh, right.

I have bad news for you.

What is it?

I went through all the records at Xuanyuan Hall,

but surprisingly,

I couldn't find anything about your origins.

If it's not meant to be,

don't force it.

However,

I did find something else.

This information is worth billions.

How will you repay me?

I'm not a tigress.

Why are you so afraid?

Gao Daqiang's family has been found.

Surprised?

Didn't expect that, did you?

By the way,

when will you bring your girlfriends

to meet me?

I'd like to see these beautiful women too.

Come on,

let's order first.

I need to get back to work after eating.

You're quite busy.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

I have all of Mr. Luo's assets.

Yes,

don't worry.

Everything

is under control.

Hmph.
