The comment section suddenly surged like a flood.

"Oh my God, she's that evil woman who slandered the tycoon before! Quick, doxx her!"

"Exactly! Let her see the power of cyberbullying!"

"We have to find her!"

The cries came in waves, one after another.

"What is going on? I don't believe this!"

Zhao Xue'er angrily slammed her phone onto the ground, her heart pounding with fear from the online comments.

So what if they doxx me? The most important thing now is to find Su Ming, get the Beauty Cream from him, and restore my former looks! I must find him!

Zhao Xue'er picked up her phone, quickly turned off the screen, put on a face mask, and dashed out the door.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making a choice. You have obtained the following reward: Grandmaster-Level Medical Skills]

An immense amount of information, like a raging flood, surged into Chen Zheng's mind. It was as if a new door had been opened, giving him a completely fresh understanding of the art of medicine. He had once mastered a Grandmaster-level technique—Nine Heavens Acupuncture—but that was merely a drop in the vast ocean of medical knowledge.

Now, the Grandmaster-level medical skills he possessed encompassed that entire ocean. This knowledge included treatments for countless diseases, advanced diagnostic techniques, and even methods for handling various tricky and complicated conditions.

However, Chen Zheng didn't get carried away by it. Instead, he returned to the garden villa. Yet, his sharp senses alerted him that some unwelcome guests had appeared around the property.

Has the address been leaked?

He felt a bit helpless, sighing at the power of the internet. Fortunately, the garden villa wasn't a place just anyone could enter. Although people were loitering outside, very few could actually get in, so Chen Zheng wasn't concerned.

Upon returning home, Chen Zheng suddenly felt several burning gazes land on him, a sensation like the pricking of needles.

"Don't any of you have to work?"

He looked over and saw Liu Qianqian, Li Yitong, and Wei Zixuan were all there. Of course, his mother was present as well.

His mom's gaze was as intense as fire. "Hand over that Beauty Cream."

She was the first to break the silence, her eyes filled with challenge and threat. Beauty Cream, a name that had sparked heated discussions online.

Chen Zheng felt a little helpless, as if he'd been swept up in an unpredictable storm. "Uh, I'm afraid I don't have any left!"

He had thought he was embroiled in some complex incident, but it turned out to be just a squabble over beauty cream.

Sigh, women are so hard to figure out!

"If you don't have it, then make more!" his mom immediately commanded, her tone more like a general issuing an order to a soldier.

"Can I take a short break first?" Chen Zheng tried to hold his ground.

"A break? Even a donkey isn't as lazy as you. Get moving!"

Ultimately, under his mother's stern pressure, Chen Zheng had no choice but to take out the medicinal ingredients and prepare the Beauty Cream.

The emerald green cream sizzled as it was generously applied to the faces of the four women, who completely ignored Chen Zheng and his father standing beside them.

"Women... their obsession is astonishing," his dad commented in genuine admiration.

"Indeed," Chen Zheng added. "This one basin of cream cost millions in precious ingredients."

"What? Millions! That's an outrageous waste of money!" His father's frugal nature was exposed. He clenched his fists, as if growling internally, Can't we just farm the herbs instead?!

However, the moment his mother's gaze swept over him, his father immediately unclenched his fists and forced a smile. Chen Zheng stood to the side, finding the scene quite amusing.

Several hours passed. The four women gently wiped the cream from their faces, looking in the mirror with ecstatic delight. In truth, their natural beauty, including his mom's, was already impeccable. Yet, under the mysterious power of the Beauty Cream, their allure had ascended to a whole new level.

A product from the system was guaranteed to be premium quality. In its presence, so-called designer cosmetics would all have to bow in submission. Of course, at such a price, it wasn't something ordinary consumers could ever afford.

Later that evening, after Li Yitong and Liu Qianqian had left, Wei Zixuan chose to stay.

As the sun rose the next day, the Food City was bustling with activity, its vibrancy illuminating the metropolis like a galaxy of brilliant stars. In this lively place, Chen Zheng's parents also integrated into their new routine, mastering the essence of Xing Yi Quan. At the same time, Li Qiaoqiao's parents arrived at the villa, picked up by the driver Chen Zheng had arranged from Da Hong.

The car slowly drove out of the villa's gates. Chen Zheng gripped the steering wheel, ready to set off, but a figure suddenly blocked the road ahead. Onlookers, like a swarm of ants, quickly took out their phones and aimed them at the scene. At this moment, Chen Zheng was like a shining star, the center of everyone's attention.

Zhao Xue'er?

Chen Zheng recognized the familiar figure through the windshield. Even though she wore a mask, he could still identify her from her eyes.

He got out of the car and asked calmly, "What is it?"

Zhao Xue'er stepped in front of him, her voice filled with joy. "Su Ming, you still recognize me!"

Chen Zheng's expression darkened slightly, but he offered no explanation.

Zhao Xue'er seemed unconcerned. She moved closer, her eyes brimming with hope. "Chen Zheng, do you still love me?"

"Chen Zheng, I'm sorry. Everything before was my fault. Can we go back to how things were? I only want to love you!"

Chen Zheng's expression grew as dark as a gathering storm. How can someone so utterly shameless exist in this world?

"Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about me," Chen Zheng tried to explain, then turned toward his car, got in, and prepared to drive away.

"Chen Zheng, you can't abandon me!" Zhao Xue'er cried, stubbornly clinging to the car door like an abandoned child.

"Whoa, is this the biggest news of the day? Netizens, are you all getting this?"

"Loud and clear! Crystal clear! Let me guess, isn't that...?"

"That's right, it's the tycoon's ex-ex-girlfriend! Haha... what kind of drama is she pulling now?"

"Enough!" Chen Zheng's voice dropped to an icy temperature. The killing intent rolling off him was as cold as a glacier.

Zhao Xue'er's body stiffened for a moment, but she still clung desperately to the door. "Chen Zheng, I was always making mistakes in the past. I apologize to you. I'm truly, very sorry!"

"Chen Zheng, just look at me now!"

Zhao Xue'er ripped the mask from her face, revealing the deep, horrifying scars beneath.

"Chen Zheng, even if your love for me is gone, our past feelings were real. Please, can you give me a bottle of Beauty Cream? I swear, if you give me one, I'll be yours."

A cold sneer tugged at the corner of Chen Zheng's mouth.

So, this is your real goal!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully triggering a selection task.]
