Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

After speaking, Huo Wen’an said to Cheng Yue, ”Prepare to request landing clearance.”

”Understood, Captain.”

Noticing Huo Wen’an’s plane, the control tower staff immediately made contact with them.

After confirming Huo Wen’an’s identity, they granted permission to land.

Guided by the ground crew, their private jet smoothly stopped in front of the terminal.

In charge of receiving them at the airport was a man named Ying Jinqiao, the eldest grandson of Old Madam Ying, aged 33.

Upon learning that the Huo Family Leader had arrived at the airport, Ying Jinqiao rushed over to welcome them.

The Ying Family doesn’t have deep ties with the Huo Family, but they had sent an invitation to the Huo Family early on, and the Huo Family had sent a visiting card to the Ying Family three days ago.

Knowing that the Huo Family Leader would personally come to Chuancheng to celebrate Old Madam Ying’s birthday, the Ying Family had prepared well in advance.

Huo Wen’an’s group consisted of five people, three men and two women.

When Ying Jinqiao arrived, the five were gathered together speaking.

Even though Ying Jinqiao had never met the young leader of the Huo Family before, he recognized Huo Wen’an immediately.

He wore a silver-white suit with dark embroidered patterns. Although he looked slender, with an impression of fragility like he might topple over in the wind, his enigmatic and mysterious aura made people cautious around him.

Ying Jinqiao’s heart tightened as he approached with a warm smile and greeted, ”Captain Huo, it’s an honor to meet you!”

Huo Wen’an turned, seeing the short, stout man walking towards him, and remained silent, unsure of the man’s identity.

Ying Jinqiao chuckled and introduced himself, ”Captain Huo, I am Ying Jinqiao, Old Madam’s eldest grandson. The other day I received the visiting card from the Huo Family and learned that you would personally come to Chuancheng, which delighted my grandmother greatly. She specially sent me to greet you.”

”Divine Concealment Island is over a thousand kilometers from Chuancheng. Captain Huo, you must be exhausted from your journey. We’ve prepared tea and a reception, just waiting for your arrival!”

”So it’s Mr. Ying Jinqiao.” Learning that the man was Madam Huo’s eldest grandson, Huo Wen’an remained calm and indifferent.

As the one with the highest authority, he was on an equal footing with Old Madam Ying, so there was no need to treat Ying Jinqiao as a peer.

Huo Wen’an first introduced Xu Xingguang to Ying Jinqiao, ”This is my fiancée, Xu Xingguang.”

At this, Ying Jinqiao was slightly surprised. ”Xu Xingguang...”

Ying Jinqiao took a deep look at Xu Xingguang and curiously asked, ”There are rumors in the medical world that Miss Xu is Medicine Farmer Star, is this true?”

At this point, Xu Xingguang saw no need to hide her identity anymore and straightforwardly replied, ”Yes, that’s me.”

Ying Jinqiao marveled, ”To think that Medicine Farmer Star is so young, it’s truly surprising and admirable. Truly, heroes emerge in every generation.” Ying Jinqiao looked at Huo Wen’an with envy, exclaiming, ”Captain Huo, you’ve indeed found a treasure!”

Huo Wen’an lightly interlocked his fingers with Xu Xingguang, smiling without a word.

”And this gentleman...” Ying Jinqiao looked thoughtfully at Ye Mingluo, and before Huo Wen’an could introduce Ye Mingluo’s identity, he said, ”I recognize this gentleman; he’s the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, Ye Mingluo.”

Ye Mingluo raised an eyebrow, searching his memory, but couldn’t find any recollection related to Ying Jinqiao.

Seeing Ye Mingluo’s lack of recognition, Ying Jinqiao prompted, ”Five years ago, at the international medical exchange conference, Doctor Ye, as a representative of modern medicine, gave a speech. However, I wasn’t as brilliant as Doctor Ye and didn’t take the stage to speak.”

”Ah, I see.” Ye Mingluo shook hands with Ying Jinqiao, smiling roguishly, ”I’m currently studying Chinese medicine under my master, and in the field of Chinese medicine, you’re still my senior.”

Ying Jinqiao was somewhat surprised, ”Really? I remember Doctor Ye wasn’t interested in Chinese medicine; what changed your mind?”

Ye Mingluo pointed to Xu Xingguang, saying, ”My master changed my view of Chinese medicine.”

Finding out that Ye Mingluo had actually apprenticed under Xu Xingguang, Ying Jinqiao was once again astonished.

Who would’ve thought the proud Ghost Hand Divine Doctor Ye Mingluo would become Medicine Farmer Star’s apprentice.

”Then we can be considered kindred spirits.” Without further ado, Ying Jinqiao quickly invited them into the car, accompanying them as they arrived at a secluded forest villa.

”This is Lin Shu, the forest villa the Ying Family uses to entertain distinguished guests. Hearing that Captain Huo just recovered from a serious illness and needed rest, we specially arranged the quietest villa for you.”
