The host fell facing upwards, blood continuously gushing from his mouth, while his hand tightly gripped the one billion check.

Luo Chao walked over to the host, reached his hand towards the host's neck, and immediately understood the situation.

The host's stomach had taken a heavy blow, causing it to rupture and perforate.

Luo Chao's fingers swiftly tapped a few times on the host's body, inserting several silver needles into key acupuncture points.

Before long, blood stopped seeping from the host's mouth, as Luo Chao had used silver needles to seal the bleeding in his stomach.

Next, as long as the ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital, the host would be saved.

Seeing Luo Chao insert several silver needles into his body, and feeling the pain in his stomach disappear, the host weakly said, "Thank you."

"Hmm, you are too greedy. If you had sold that Tang Dynasty Wine to us earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer this pain."

Although Luo Chao saved the host, he still looked down on him in his heart.

Hearing Luo Chao's words, the host could only smile bitterly and shake his head, "Brother, we traveling folk can't get by without some tricks. After all, I have a big group of brothers who rely on me to eat."

Luo Chao said nothing; although the host was a bit greedy, he did have a point, and he didn't deserve to die.

Thinking of this, Luo Chao asked back, "Where did you get that bottle of Tang Dynasty Wine from?"

Earlier, Luo Chao had determinedly aimed to obtain the wine, but Wang Sisong had thwarted him, leaving him quite frustrated.

Not to mention that it was said to be a legendary wine with unparalleled taste, the jade wine bottle containing strange energy was what Luo Chao truly wanted.

"The Tang Dynasty Wine...was sold to me by a friend at the Capital Antiques Market," the host weakly replied.

Capital Antiques Market! Again with the Capital!

Luo Chao was secretly startled; previously, the Wandering Dragon Jade Pendant Zhou Delong had given him was also found by Zhou Delong at the Capital Antiques Market.

And now, this Tang Dynasty Wine bottle also flowed out from the Capital Antiques Market.

This clearly indicates that it's no coincidence!

It seems I must visit the Capital!

Luo Chao made up his mind that once he completed his mission to protect Lin Yun, he would personally visit the Capital to find out the true origin of these jade items with strange energy!

How exactly can my cultivation technique be improved?

Where exactly has my master gone?

These two questions constantly lingered in Luo Chao's heart!

Then, Luo Chao helped stop the bleeding and relieve the pain of the security guards knocked down by Bai Xiao, before returning to Miao Shiyun and Zhou Delong.

"Luo Chao, my young friend, I didn't expect you to know medicine! You truly keep bringing surprises to an old fellow like me!"

Zhou Delong watched Luo Chao treat the people on stage earlier, stroking his little mustache, and his appreciation for Luo Chao grew even stronger in his eyes.

"Haha, I know just a little. In my previous unit, due to limited personnel, I had to learn more things," Luo Chao said modestly with a smile.

Zhou Delong smiled broadly, patted Luo Chao's shoulder, pointed at Miao Shiyun not far away, and whispered into his ear, "Luo Chao, my young friend, what do you think of my granddaughter? She's already 27 years old this year and still not married; I don't have many years left, and I really want to see my great-grandchildren soon!"

Luo Chao looked embarrassed, "Cough cough, Senior Zhou, Miss Miao is as beautiful as a fairy, and I'm not worthy!"

Zhou Delong's face turned serious, "Who says so? If I say it's possible, it is; just a word from you!"

"That's not right; we're all young people, and society doesn't favor arranged marriages anymore!" Luo Chao said, feeling internally annoyed because his own marriage to Lin Yun had been arranged by Lin Guohai without his daughter's knowledge.

Initially, Luo Chao did not oppose it and was even a little excited until he discovered he had been tricked by Lin Guohai.

So, now Luo Chao felt shadowed by the idea of arranged marriages by elders!

"Hahaha, I understand, you young folks should cultivate feelings first!" Zhou Delong was quite open-minded and didn't press Luo Chao further after hearing him out.

At this moment, Miao Shiyun walked over to Luo Chao and Zhou Delong.

"Grandfather, what are you two talking about?" Miao Shiyun asked curiously, spotting the two's strange smiles.

"Cough cough, nothing much, nothing much, I was discussing the Luo Nongxiao incident with our young friend here," Zhou Delong replied matter-of-factly.

Hearing Zhou Delong mention Luo Nongxiao, Luo Chao suddenly remembered something and turned to Miao Shiyun, asking, "Miss Miao, earlier I heard you say the person who bought the wine was named Wang Sisong? Do you know what kind of background he has to so casually produce a billion?"

"Sigh!" Miao Shiyun sighed when Luo Chao asked this, "Wang Sisong is the son of Huaxia's richest man, Wang Jianren, and also the junior director of Wanlin Group!"

Wanlin Group!

Again with Wanlin Group!

Earlier at the hospital, I heard about the tragedy Wanlin Group committed fifteen years ago from Gu Yanxi's mother.

How unexpectedly coincidental that I now come across the junior director of Wanlin Group—Wang Sisong.

"Though Wang Sisong is also an arrogant heir, he isn't a wastrel! It is said that Wanlin Group's rise to becoming Huaxia's largest family group in recent years is inseparable from Wang Sisong's series of strategies!" Miao Shiyun introduced.

Luo Chao nodded slightly, realizing Wang Sisong and Sun Bowen were two extreme types of rich heirs.

One relies on family fortunes, indulging in life, while the other boosts family prowess, leading family business to brighter paths.

However, does this imply that the incident fifteen years ago has something to do with Wang Sisong?

But as soon as this thought came to Luo Chao's mind, he immediately dismissed it.

Wang Sisong seems to be around twenty-seven or eight years old now, so fifteen years ago, he should be only twelve or thirteen—a mere elementary student, likely unrelated.

As evening fell, the antiques market was about to close, Luo Chao bid farewell to Zhou Delong and Miao Shiyun and headed towards the Haichen Group building.

After spending an afternoon at the antiques market, finally finding an item with ancient aura, it got purchased by someone else, leaving Luo Chao disheartened.

But slowly fiddling with the million-valued Blood Jade Bracelet in his hand, Luo Chao's mood slightly calmed.

Although this Blood Jade Bracelet was not much use to him, its value couldn't be ignored.

Luo Chao decided to gift the Blood Jade Bracelet to Lin Yun, offsetting part of the money he owed for ruining Lin Yun's painting of "Blue Lotus."

Thinking of this, Luo Chao quickened his pace.

Just after Luo Chao left the antiques market, on the road opposite the market, sat a white Jinbei van.

A pair of vicious eyes were fixed on Luo Chao's back, and two thick fingers forcefully snuffed out a cigarette butt.
