Chen Zheng was willing to help entirely because he saw the kindness in the old man's heart and couldn't bear to watch him die.

"Thank you, sir…"

"Grandpa, please don't do this!" Sun Zhengtang's face broke into a smile. He was about to grab the medicinal pill, but at that moment, a stylishly dressed young girl in her early twenties ran over.

Without any hesitation, she slapped the pill right out of Chen Zheng's hands.

Standing in front of Sun Zhengtang, the girl eyed Chen Zheng warily and said bluntly, "Grandpa, you mustn't be deceived by this man!"

"He looks just like a charlatan selling fake medicine!"

The pill rolled onto the ground, becoming covered in dust.

"You little brat…" Zhao Feng's face was etched with a pained expression as he hurriedly picked it up.

Chen Zheng had poured immense effort into refining this Lesser Pei Yuan Pill. Even Zhao Feng himself was reluctant to take one, saving them only for when his condition flared up. For a young girl to simply smack it to the ground was outrageous.

"Zhao Feng!" Chen Zheng immediately stopped him, frowning deeply as he stared at the girl.

She was indeed pretty and carried an air of wealth, but her arrogant expression made it clear she was thoroughly spoiled by her family.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sun Doudou said coldly. "Don't think I can't see what you're up to. You're just another con artist trying to scam him. I've seen plenty of your kind! I'm just surprised that someone like you isn't living under a bridge. Who comes to an airport to run a scam? Your methods are certainly… creative."

Sun Doudou looked at Chen Zheng with immense sarcasm, treating him as nothing more than a fraud.

"Doudou, you've misunderstood him…"

"Grandpa, you don't need to make excuses for him. I've already asked Professor Liu, a Western-style doctor, and he said you don't have any illness at all! You're just being overly anxious."

"There's nothing wrong with you. In my opinion, you've been duped by those traditional medicine practitioners. They just want to rip you off, tricking you into buying more of their junk!" Sun Doudou huffed.

"How arrogant!"

"The wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine is profound and vast. Who are you to speak of it so lightly?"

Sun Zhengtang's eyes widened in anger, but he still shook his head and said bitterly, "Grandpa just had an attack. If this gentleman hadn't helped, you wouldn't be seeing me right now!"

"Apologize to this gentleman immediately!"

"I will not," Sun Doudou said, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at Chen Zheng with utter contempt. "I will absolutely not apologize to someone who sells fake medicine!"

"This…" Sun Zhengtang looked helpless. He turned to Chen Zheng apologetically and said, "Sir, please don't blame her. My granddaughter has been spoiled. She grew up abroad and has always been resistant to traditional Chinese medicine, which is why she says such things."

"It's nothing. She's just a child; I won't stoop to her level. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

Chen Zheng nodded slowly and, without another word, turned to leave.

"Sir, please wait!" Sun Zhengtang hurried after him. He glanced at the pill Zhao Feng had picked up and said helplessly, "I wonder if I could…"

"Sorry. I already gave you your chance," Chen Zheng refused resolutely.

Sun Zhengtang froze.

Shaking his head bitterly, he could only bend down to take the dirty pill from Zhao Feng's hand. It might be covered in dust, but at a critical moment, this thing could save his life. He couldn't just let it be thrown away.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Sun Doudou asked in disbelief.

What was her grandfather's status? How could he bend down to pick up a dusty pill?

She didn't hesitate, immediately grabbing Sun Zhengtang to stop him. Then, she once again knocked the pill from Zhao Feng's hand and kicked it far into the distance.

"Doudou…" Sun Zhengtang's expression filled with rage. His granddaughter was becoming more and more disobedient.

With an icy expression, Sun Doudou pulled out a thick wad of red banknotes and arrogantly tossed them onto the floor.

"You peddler of fake medicine! It's just one pill, isn't it? Fine, we'll buy it. This is more than enough to cover what you make scamming people for a year. Now, give us all of your pills!" she said, brimming with arrogance.

If it weren't for her grandfather, she would never waste so much money on someone like this.

Even now, her expression was one of pure condescension, as if bestowing alms upon a beggar.

Chen Zheng's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flickering within them before he quickly composed himself.

"Let's go."

Zhao Feng quickly followed, thinking, This girl will regret her actions today, sooner or later!

"Me, regret? How laughable!" Unable to contain her fury, Sun Doudou shrieked, "Who do you think you are? You're just a con artist selling fake medicine, yet you act like you're some master of traditional medicine?"

"Doudou!" Sun Zhengtang was furious, yet utterly helpless.

Already ill, the agitation made it hard for him to even speak. He began gasping for air, his face turning pale.

"Grandpa! What's wrong? Don't scare me! I'll get you to the hospital right now!" Terrified, Sun Doudou quickly helped Sun Zhengtang up and called for an ambulance.

Getting Grandpa to the hospital is the top priority!

「Meanwhile.」

Chen Zheng and Zhao Feng had just walked out of the airport when his phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Gao Feng.

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived at the airport, haven't you?" Gao Feng's voice was exceedingly reverent over the phone.

They had been in contact the previous night, so Gao Feng knew Chen Zheng was coming to Jiangnan on business.

"I just got out."

"Mr. Feng has already prepared a banquet to give you a formal welcome!" Gao Feng immediately shared the news. "Also, there is a matter that might require your help."

His voice grew nervous and cautious as he said this last part, suggesting he was facing a major problem.

"I'm on my way to see my wife," Chen Zheng said calmly. "Send me the address, and I'll head over when I have time."

"Of course, of course! I'll send you the address right away!"

After they hung up, a jeep slowly pulled over. The two men got in and headed straight for the city.

…

At a café, two women and a tall man were sitting across from each other.

"Young Master Gao, I heard you work at the Martial Arts Association, is that right? And that you're a council member?" Sun Yan asked, throwing the tall, handsome man a flirtatious glance as she smiled.

This man is incredible! And so handsome… even those pretty-boy actors on TV are nothing compared to him.
