"There's really no need for you to worry, we have everything under control. We truly appreciate your help this time; if it weren't for you, our village would still be in deep trouble."

Luo Chao nodded, these matters weren't a big deal. He was just here to find Mao Zhonghua, with no intention to offer excessive help to the villagers.

"If that's the case, I'll take my leave. If you need to relocate, just give me a call..." Luo Chao handed over a business card and then left.

The man was stunned. He knew Luo Chao was trying to help them, but weren't they also eager to do the same?

"We're just leaving like this?" Mao Zhonghua was quite curious about Luo Chao's actions. Luo Chao should be a man with a strong sense of justice.

But what he did today clearly went against his usual principles. Knowing it's the right thing to do, how could he consider others' feelings?

"What these people need is money; otherwise, the village chief wouldn't have tricked them so easily. Don't worry, it'll be fine soon."

Luo Chao's "it'll be fine" didn't make any sense to Mao Zhonghua. What did he mean by it'll be fine? It was clearly a problematic situation.

If the other party arbitrarily mined, the people here could only fall ill. Soon after mining starts, such issues will arise; if mined for long, it's unimaginable.

"Don't worry, I'll provide free logistical support for these people. Just focus on your pregnancy." Luo Chao looked at Mao Zhonghua excitedly.

He hadn't expected to become a father so soon; it was unimaginable. He never thought he'd face such a scenario.

"You... I still need to study and prepare for the college entrance exam; the baby will be born after the exam." Mao Zhonghua cut to the chase; if Luo Chao wanted her to have an abortion, she definitely wouldn't agree.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you and Jiang Yuanyuan well." Luo Chao said confidently.

"So egotistical, not wanting to give up on either of them." Mao Zhonghua rolled her eyes at Luo Chao, thinking he was too naive.

"This is not my problem to consider; no matter what you think, I will raise this child." Mao Zhonghua believed in herself.

She's studied medicine since elementary school, and her skills are unmatched. Plus, with her well-known reputation now, why worry about survival?

The two stopped talking and returned to Shaoshan. Shaoshan was already prepared, just waiting for Luo Chao.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Luo Chao and Mao Zhonghua returned again. Mao Zhonghua went back to her villa, and under the security's curious gaze, Luo Chao tightly held Mao Zhonghua's hand.

"Luo Chao, you're back..." Seeing Mao Zhonghua, Jiang Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, staring at her belly for a moment.

"Ah, sorry, sister Mao Mao, please sit." Realizing her rudeness, Jiang Yuanyuan quickly invited Mao Zhonghua to sit down.

This gesture shocked Yuan Uncle, amazed that the young lady didn't cause a scene. Surely Mr. Luo Chao was impressive, achieving this feat.

"How many months along is the baby?" Jiang Yuanyuan asked cautiously.

"Three months." Mao Zhonghua blushed, "Where's sister Xiaoqi? Why haven't I seen her?"

Chen Xiaoqi was always the most lively person. Not seeing her this time felt truly odd. Could she be sick?

"Chen Xiaoqi is feeling unwell and resting inside!" Jiang Yuanyuan felt helpless; she couldn't just say it was due to Luo Chao, who left Chen Xiaoqi bedridden.

"Is she alright? Why is she like this? I'm a doctor; if possible, let me check on her." Mao Zhonghua got worried.

Chen Xiaoqi was also very important to Luo Chao; she must be treated well. If anything were to happen to Chen Xiaoqi due to illness, who knows what misunderstandings might arise.

"There's really no need, sister. Luo Chao has already checked Xiaoqi and performed acupuncture; she's fine." Jiang Yuanyuan felt awkward; certain things couldn't be said aloud.

"Luo Chao, was it? That explains it; since it's resolved, everything is alright." Luo Chao's medical skills were quite profound; if he assessed it, then there's no issue.

"Feeling better now?" Luo Chao put away his Silver Needle; he'd done his utmost. Chen Xiaoqi was just too exhausted.

"How could I feel better? But whatever, it's not completely your fault, beast." If Luo Chao weren't so troublesome, this issue might never have arisen.

Luo Chao felt a wave of embarrassment. Luckily, a phone call dissipated the awkwardness.

The call was from Jiang Weidong; though unclear what was up, calling now certainly didn't imply trivial matters.

"Who's calling?" Chen Xiaoqi asked, curious.

"It's Jiang Weidong, Uncle Jiang." Luo Chao waved his phone in front of Chen Xiaoqi before answering.

"Hello, is this Luo Chao?" A stranger's voice came through, leaving Luo Chao stunned. It wasn't Uncle Jiang; Uncle Jiang's chances of being kidnapped were high.

"Please come to President Jiang's office. Code 9858," the person said directly, giving their code.

This code belonged to a special department, likely cultivators. But for a cultivator to show up, could there be some special operation?

Luo Chao matched the code, and the other party seemed quite pleased, promptly hanging up. Luo Chao's words left Chen Xiaoqi speechless; what was Luo Chao muttering before? After this, his expression grew even heavier.

Clearly, he had something critical to do.

"I'm going to Jiang Uncle's office."

Chen Xiaoqi nodded; although she wished Luo Chao could stay, she understood Luo Chao had important business. Why stop him from doing his duty?

"What's up? Leaving already!" Luo Chao stepped out, leaving Jiang Yuanyuan and Mao Zhonghua stunned; they thought the two would hang around longer.

But unexpectedly, this was how it turned out...

"I need to meet Uncle Jiang." Luo Chao hastily explained and vanished. Given his speed, it seemed urgent matters involving his father were at hand.
