This change made Ling Zhenfei very happy, and he reminded himself that he must never take medicine indiscriminately in the future, as the side effects were too severe for him to bear.

The next morning, after Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling got up and packed their things, Shen Songling had already come to see them off. Ling Zhenfei had instructed that his departure should not be disclosed to anyone to avoid any further trouble, but Xiao Kunkun's parents still found out and came to see off Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling.

Ling Zhenfei also instructed Shen Songling about Xiao Kunkun's follow-up treatment and discussed with Leize Ta and Camellia the precautions for Xiao Kunkun's future care. When they left, he didn't forget to leave two more Dragon Transformation Herbs for them.

This Dragon Transformation Herb was extremely precious. It wasn't available in drugstores at all, and even veteran practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine hadn't heard of it. It wasn't abundant even in his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow. In the later stages of Xiao Kunkun's illness, there was no need to use large quantities of Dragon Transformation Herb each time; it only required grinding it into powder and adding a bit of the powder to the herbal medicine.

Leize Ta and Camellia expressed their immense gratitude and promised to visit Binyang to thank him once Xiao Kunkun recovered.

Ling Zhenfei left with Bai Ling, and Shen Songling personally drove them to the train station. There was always a black car following theirs from behind, which Ling Zhenfei knew belonged to Ye Wenying's people, protecting them.

This time, Ling Zhenfei decided to take the high-speed train to the Provincial City. This was to catch the assassins by surprise and also to plan on taking the train back to Binyang after meeting up with Chunyu.

While waiting for the train, Ling Zhenfei turned on his previously shut-off phone, and an overwhelming number of messages flooded in. Since he had started treating Xiao Kunkun the night before, Ling Zhenfei's phone had been turned off.

By then, Ling Zhenfei finally understood why celebrities did not publicize their phone numbers. Everything was managed by assistants. If he had to answer that many calls daily, it would be incredibly annoying.

There were many missed call notifications, some from known contacts but mostly from unknown ones. Ling Zhenfei couldn't possibly check each one, so he simply ignored them. However, there were also numerous texts, surprisingly amounting to several hundred, mostly from unknown numbers. Ling Zhenfei suspected whether his phone number had been leaked.

He chose to block all strangers, leaving only ten messages remaining. Several messages from Liu Bingying were there, all asking about Ling Zhenfei's situation, evidently because they couldn't reach him by phone and had to resort to texting.

There was also a text from Binyang Hospital Dean Chen Dafu which had been sent after watching a video the day before, congratulating him. Ling Zhenfei knew the content without reading, so he chose to block it as well.

Another message was from Jiu Jiu, which was very simple, stating that she missed him and asked if she could see him once.

Regarding Jiu Jiu, Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to say. This woman was enchanting, possessing a magic power that fascinated any man, but Ling Zhenfei was not an ordinary man and chose to ignore it. Responding to Jiu Jiu could lead to more trouble.

There were also messages from Fatty, Jiang Hao, and his sister-in-law Zhou Yun, all asking about his situation. Ling Zhenfei chose to overlook those as well, considering he was returning to Binyang soon where he could discuss their matters in person.

However, a message from Long Hai caught Ling Zhenfei's attention.

Long Hai's message read, "Brother Ling, we have received information that your identity has been exposed. The Black Death Order has been canceled, but the Imperial Palace Club has directly targeted you, hiring an assassin to take you out. The assassin you encountered in Modu was sent by the Imperial Palace Club. You are in great danger. I tried calling you, but your phone was turned off. Call me back as soon as you see this message."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly called Long Hai back after seeing the message, and Long Hai picked up the phone quickly.

"Big Brother Long, I saw your text. What's going on?"

Long Hai's voice sounded anxious, "I'm really glad you could call me. I was about to be worried sick if you hadn't called. We've got confirmed information from an informant that the Black Death Order has been canceled, but the Imperial Palace Club has now set their sights directly on you."

Ling Zhenfei exclaimed, "I've been exposed? How did that happen?"

"How exactly you were exposed is still unknown, but the information is very certain. They've hired assassins from abroad for the purpose of killing you, offering twenty million."

"I've already clashed with those assassins, killing two and injuring one," Ling Zhenfei stated honestly.

"Ye Wenying already told me; I'm confident in your abilities, but we still don't know how many assassins are out to get you. It won't be easy for an assassin to kill you, but these assassins are different, they strike unexpectedly and unscrupulously. You must be cautious to avoid falling into their traps."

"I understand, Big Brother Long. I'll be careful." Ling Zhenfei had a deep understanding of assassins and was genuinely concerned about the element of surprise, especially after the complex assassination attempt at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital the night before last, which nearly ended his life. If not for the Spiritual Medicine in the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, he would have been dead.

"Also, if someone tries to attack you, feel free to kill or injure them. These people are international wanted criminals, so don't feel any remorse; I've got everything under control," Long Hai reminded Ling Zhenfei in the end.

"Thank you, Big Brother Long. I should be back in Binyang by tomorrow at the latest. We'll talk more then."

After hanging up with Long Hai, Ling Zhenfei felt puzzled. He hadn't expected to be exposed and couldn't figure out where he might have slipped up. Even when he was in Capital City killing numerous people with Zhuo Yue, they had managed everything very cleanly. He couldn't think of any place he might have unravelled.

"Look, Ling Zhenfei, your Weibo followers have reached ten million! It's really incredible," Bai Ling suddenly showed him her phone.

Since last night, Ling Zhenfei hadn't checked his phone or been on Weibo. He quickly took out his phone and saw indeed his followers had reached ten million and were still increasing. He was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of messages and realized that being a celebrity wasn't easy.

"Is ten million followers a lot? What does that mean?" Ling Zhenfei genuinely didn't understand the significance of the number of followers.

Bai Ling quickly explained, "Current TV and variety show celebrities have only about five to six million followers. A top celebrity might just surpass ten million, and the most popular stars have several tens of millions of followers."

"So, you mean to say my follower count is similar to that of a top celebrity?" Ling Zhenfei was truly surprised. He never expected to have as many followers as a top celebrity, all due to the attention this incident had attracted.
