"Don't worry, I won't cut down the trees, you can be assured of that. We rely on the mountain but not by consuming its trees. Taking charge of the mountain will not only have no negative effects on you but will also provide many job opportunities for our village."

"Okay, I agree to that. You treat Wang Quan today, and we'll sign the contract tomorrow."

"Since we are signing the contract tomorrow, let's treat him tomorrow," Ling Zhenfei said, not trusting Wang Changhe at all now. As the saying goes, it's necessary to be cautious. What if Wang Quan is cured today, and Wang Changhe decides not to sign the contract tomorrow? Then it wouldn't be easy to trick him again using the same method.

"Brother Ling, why don't you trust me? Just treat my son first. If it really doesn't work, I'll bring the contract to you tonight, and we can sign it overnight."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled to himself; it's better to sign today while it was still possible, as delaying could lead to complications.

"I'm a very busy person, let's just sign tonight to avoid future troubles."

Wang Changhe's expression turned unsightly. He went to get the documents overnight, and then at his home, he and Ling Zhenfei signed the contract for the entire Xishan Manor, which involved reasonable planning and utilization.

As for the price of the contract, there was none. Instead, Ling Zhenfei made a promise to provide at least thirty job positions for the villagers within a year, which was also considered a benefit to the people.

Ling Zhenfei was pleased and put on a show by giving Wang Quan a few acupuncture needles. He then prescribed a medicine that eases breathing and told him to take it continuously for a month.

In fact, Wang Quan was not ill at all; Ling Zhenfei had merely touched a point on his waist and introduced a bit of Northern Spiritual Energy. He had controlled the energy to block a point on Wang Quan's chest, causing pain during chest expansion exercises, which would likely resolve by itself by the next day.

Leaving Wang Changhe's house, Ling Zhenfei felt very comfortable, both physically and mentally, walking along the country road and enjoying the cool breeze.

At that moment, his phone received a message from Liu Bingying, which read: "I miss you."

"I miss you too!" Ling Zhenfei replied to Liu Bingying, and this was not just a courtesy. He genuinely missed Liu Bingying; after all, she was truly the first woman in his life, so how could he not miss her?

"When are you coming back?" Liu Bingying replied quickly, clearly holding her phone and waiting for his response.

"I'll be back soon, after wrapping up a few things here. Don't worry, it won't be long."

"Then I'll be waiting for you."

After exchanging a few messages with Liu Bingying, he felt a warmth in his heart. No matter where he was, knowing that there was a woman waiting for him at home always felt wonderful.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei arrived at Xishan Manor and went to the mountaintop. Looking down at the mountain base, the dense trees on Xi Shan meant he could only catch a glimpse of a corner of Xishan Manor.

His plan was to build several high-standard, wooden villas on the mountain, fully equipped and all around Xishan Manor to be fenced off for raising pheasants and wild boars, and for growing medicinal herbs in areas with denser Northern Spiritual Energy, which were good for their growth.

After Ling Zhenfei had planned everything, he called Li Ermeng and Zhou Yun together to discuss it first.

Ling Zhenfei first shared his ideas and wanted to hear their opinions, but Zhou Yun and Li Ermeng were a bit dazed after he finished speaking.

"Wasn't farming vegetables okay for us? Now, we are also raising chickens and pigs. Are we getting a bit sidetracked?" Li Ermeng raised a question.

"Yes, we have already invested all our income in it. If we start another big project, it might be tough to turn a profit for a few years." Zhou Yun, who managed the finances, was particularly concerned about the funding.

"We don't have to worry about the financial side. The manor is now making money. As long as we invest everything except your salaries back into it, it's alright if it's not enough; it won't take long before people invest in us. Once the funds are really in place, we will have even bigger projects waiting for us."

"Moreover, sister-in-law, now the whole Xi Shan is ours. You can hire a few more dependable people from the village, start building roads in the mountain, make a road from our manor to the mountain, and this will be useful later."

Ling Zhenfei hadn't told them about the resort, only mentioned enclosing the mountain. Although Zhou Yun didn't know why Ling Zhenfei wanted to construct a road into the mountain, she didn't ask; she knew Ling Zhenfei had his own plans.

While Li Ermeng was planning the area for raising wild boars, Ling Zhenfei suddenly received a call from Qiu Qian, who sounded very anxious on the phone.

"Something terrible has happened, Divine Doctor Brother," she said.

After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was stunned, not knowing what had happened, and asked Qiu Qian urgently, "Don't panic, tell me slowly, what's exactly the matter?"

When asked by Ling Zhenfei, Qiu Qian burst into tears: "Divine Doctor Brother, it's my dad. My dad is not doing well."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. Qiu Qing was not doing well? What happened to Qiu Qing? Weren't his legs about to be healed? His last treatment didn't show any serious issues after examination, and a prescription was left for Qiu Qing to drink the medicine every three days and soak his legs daily in the medicated water. It should have been fine.

"What exactly is the situation? How did it become critical?"

"I don't know either. Today, after drinking the medicine at noon, my dad started feeling unwell in the stomach, and not long after, he began foaming at the mouth. He has been rushed to the hospital, and they are still trying to save him," she replied.

"Which hospital?"

"Provincial Hospital!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei informed Zhou Yun, then got on his motorcycle and headed toward the city. He accelerated to the maximum speed, rushing to the Provincial Hospital in the shortest time possible.

While riding, he kept wondering what exactly had happened. How could someone who was fine suddenly be in such condition? Qiu Qian mentioned it happened after taking the medicine. What medicine was it? Was it the one from the prescription he had left?

But it didn't seem right; according to the schedule, this wouldn't have been the first time taking the medicine from his prescription. If it was to be taken every three days, it should have been the third time taking this medicine. So the prescription should be correct. If it were poisonous, it would have been fatal the first time, not after such a long time.

As Ling Zhenfei pondered and rode, he soon reached the Provincial Hospital in Binyang City. The Provincial Hospital was one of the best in Binyang City and was more renowned than Binyang Hospital, with many people from other cities coming to Binyang seeking medical care at the Provincial hospital first.

When Ling Zhenfei arrived at the Provincial Hospital, and it was already dark. He called Qiu Qian, who had been waiting at the entrance. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, she immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Divine Doctor Brother, I'm so glad you're here. My dad is in critical condition. The doctors just issued a critical illness notice. Why is my dad's fate so harsh? His legs were almost healed, and now he is poisoned."
