The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The sight of his money-grubbing expression made Li Huiran even more contemptuous.

She turned and got into the Ferrari.

Chen Dong was about to get in, but he found the door locked. ”Hey, I haven’t gotten in yet.”

Li Huiran said coldly, ”I’m going to the office later. You don’t need to come with me.”

”Then where do I go?”

Li Huiran glared. ”Go wherever you want, but don’t you dare go home early. Be back here to wait for me before six.”

”Got it, got it,” Chen Dong said, waving his hand dismissively.

Li Huiran couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on him.

She slammed on the gas, and the Ferrari sped away.

Chen Dong was bored stiff. Just as he was about to wander around, he heard a familiar voice from behind him.

”Chen, what are you doing here?”

Chen Dong turned to see Xue Tianxiang pulling over to the side of the road in a silver sedan.

”What a coincidence, Divine Doctor Xue.”

Chen Dong scratched his head. ”I just got to Jiangzhou today. Just wandering around.”

”All by yourself?”

”Yeah.”

Xue Tianxiang’s eyes lit up. ”I happen to be heading back to Hundred Herbs Hall. If you don’t mind, Chen, how about you come visit my Hundred Herbs Hall?”

”That sounds great.”

’I’ve got nothing better to do anyway. A little rest at Hundred Herbs Hall wouldn’t be so bad.’

”After you, Chen.” Xue Tianxiang personally opened the car door for Chen Dong.

He excitedly brought Chen Dong to Hundred Herbs Hall.

Hundred Herbs Hall had been established in Jiangzhou for over a century and was one of the city’s top traditional Chinese medicine clinics.

With a physician of Divine Doctor Xue’s caliber in residence, the stream of patients seeking treatment at Hundred Herbs Hall was endless.

As soon as they walked in, a young woman with a graceful figure and an innocent face came to greet them.

”Grandpa, what took you so long?”

Xue Tianxiang chuckled. ”I ran into a friend on the way. Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Dong. His medical skills are in no way inferior to my own!”

With that, he turned to Chen Dong. ”Chen, this is my granddaughter, Xue Lele. She’s eighteen and usually helps me manage the clinic.”

”A pleasure,” Chen Dong said, greeting her politely.

Although the young woman before him was very beautiful, he wasn’t the least bit interested.

’Good looks don’t pay the bills. If she isn’t as rich as the Li Family, I’m not interested.’

Xue Lele, on the other hand, was stunned. How could this young man, who was only a few years older than her, earn such high praise from her grandfather?

”Lele, go get my best Longjing tea. I want to have a good long chat with Chen today,” Xue Tianxiang instructed.

”Uh... okay.” Xue Lele agreed, her eyes lingering on Chen Dong for a few extra moments.

Xue Tianxiang couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. Although Chen Dong’s family background was nothing special, he was exceptionally capable. He and his granddaughter would make a perfect couple—a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Unfortunately, the Li Family had already beaten him to it.

The two entered the reception room, where Xue Tianxiang consulted him on many points of medical knowledge.

He was thoroughly impressed by Chen Dong’s insights and vast medical expertise.

’Sigh... what a pity. It seems Chen has no interest in Lele at all...’

Xue Tianxiang sighed to himself.

Just then, Xue Lele rushed in, panting, ”Grandpa, it’s bad! Something’s happened!”

Xue Tianxiang froze for a moment, then asked, ”What is it?”

Xue Lele said frantically, ”Xiao... Xiao Shishou is critically injured! He’s... he’s about to die! Grandpa, you have to go take a look!”

”What?”

Xue Tianxiang shot to his feet. ”How could Xiao Shishou...”

He quickly turned to Chen Dong. ”Chen, something’s come up. Please, make yourself at home.”

”Of course, of course,” Chen Dong nodded.

Xue Tianxiang hurried off with his granddaughter to treat Xiao Shishou.

Bored and with nothing to do, Chen Dong wandered around Hundred Herbs Hall aimlessly.

After two hours, there was still no sign of Xue Tianxiang.

A little curious, Chen Dong headed toward the patient ward area.

There, the highly respected Xue Tianxiang was being held by the collar by a man in a black suit.

The man was yelling furiously, ”Aren’t you supposed to be the most famous divine doctor in Jiangzhou? If anything happens to my big brother today, I’m holding you responsible!”

Xue Tianxiang’s face was pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. ”This... Xiao Shishou’s condition is extremely serious. It’s not something that can be cured with Silver Needles. I suggest you transfer him to a hospital immediately.”

The man in black flew into a rage. ”My big brother is critically injured, and you dare to pass the buck? I think you’re looking to die.”

The man on the hospital bed was grievously wounded, with a bloody gash slashed across his chest.

He was already on the verge of death; transferring him to a hospital now would be pointless.

”Hold on.”

Just then, Chen Dong spoke up slowly.

Everyone turned toward the sound of his voice.

Xue Tianxiang was especially shocked and shook his head repeatedly at Chen Dong.

Xue Lele, who was standing by the door, quickly tugged on Chen Dong’s sleeve and whispered, ”Mr. Chen, don’t do anything rash... That patient is Xiao Kun, the Shishou of Jiangzhou. He owns over fifty nightclubs and has countless enforcers. He’s not someone you can afford to cross.”

”Over fifty nightclubs? Doesn’t that mean he’s loaded?” Chen Dong’s eyes lit up.

Xue Lele was taken aback and scratched her head. ”Well, yeah, he’s very rich. The consultation fee alone was three hundred thousand... Ugh, but this isn’t about money!”

”If he can’t be cured, they’ll probably burn down Hundred Herbs Hall.”

’Holy shit... that’s more than my entire month’s pay?’

Chen Dong loved this kind of high-risk, high-reward business.

He immediately shouted, ”I’ll treat your big brother’s illness! Let Divine Doctor Xue go!”

The man in black narrowed his eyes, sizing up the young man before him. ”You can save my big brother?”

With his hands on his hips, Chen Dong sneered, ”Of course. There isn’t a single patient in this world I can’t cure.”

The man in black cursed, ”Then fucking hurry up and treat my big brother! If you cure him, money is no object. If you don’t, I’ll take your life.”

With that, he shoved Xue Tianxiang away.

Xue Tianxiang staggered over to Chen Dong’s side and whispered, ”Chen, you really shouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess! They aren’t joking. If you can’t cure him, they will really kill you.”

He greatly admired Chen Dong’s talent and truly didn’t want to see a medical genius like him die at the hands of such people.

Chen Dong grinned. ”The person who can kill me hasn’t been born yet. Don’t worry, Divine Doctor Xue. Just leave the rest to me.”

He walked straight to the bedside and took the pulse of Xiao Kun on the bed.

Xue Tianxiang had already stopped the bleeding from the wound, but the man was unconscious, his breathing faint.

His sharp brows furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, ”Hiss... This man has been poisoned.”

Xue Tianxiang was shocked. ”Poisoned? What kind of poison?”

’How could I have completely missed that during my examination?’

”Celestial Star Grass. It was likely coated on the blade. It’s a neurotoxin. The victim will become paralyzed within three hours, their entire body stiff and weak. Within six hours, it will cause brain death.”

Xue Tianxiang gasped. ”To think it’s such a potent poison... I don’t believe it’s found in this country...”

”Can you neutralize it, Chen?”

Chen Dong nodded. ”I have a way to force the Celestial Star Grass poison out. Now, step back.”

Xue Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Chen Dong could neutralize this poison.

”Then we’ll be counting on you, Chen.”

The onlookers scattered. Chen Dong placed his palm on Xiao Kun’s chest, pressed his thumb onto the acupoint at the center of the sternum, and pushed down hard.

He followed up with a sharp elbow strike to Xiao Kun’s navel.

The entire bed shook violently.

”You’re fucking looking to die!” The man in black’s eyes were bloodshot. With a furious roar, he moved to attack.

Chen Dong’s gaze, sharp as a blade, turned to the man in black, and an invisible killing intent instantly filled the air.

His tone was utterly freezing. ”Say one more word, and both you and your big brother will die.”
