Ren Jian's eyes widened: "They're the medicinal catalysts?!"

"Maybe. You could try to figure out if you can restore them to normal. They look like they've been brainwashed." Xia Linyuan sighed.

Ren Jian nodded very seriously: "A doctor's heart is full of compassion, I will cure them."

Xia Linyuan glanced at the handprint on the child's face and nodded in agreement: "It's up to you now."

"I've finished reviewing Wang Zizhou's case, and I'll send you the video later. I have some other things to attend to, so it's not convenient for me to stay here any longer. We'll be leaving now."

"Okay. I'll have someone take you."

"No need. By the way, where's Hei Guan'er?"

"It's nothing, he went to report the situation to my sister."

…………

Xia Linyuan led the Gao brothers away from Central China and took a taxi back to Yunzhongzhan.

When I passed by Villa No. 1, I saw an old man and a young man doing morning exercises in the artificial bamboo grove in the backyard.

"Driver, please stop the car."

Xia Linyuan said to the driver.

"Huh? You're getting off here?"

The driver asked, puzzled.

"What's wrong, Brother Xia?"

Gao Zhan was probably tired, and he fell asleep shortly after starting the ride. Gao Yuan was also drowsy.

Xia Linyuan shook his head and said, "Master, I'll get off here. You can continue to escort the two of them to their designated locations."

"Good."

The driver readily agreed.

Gao Zhan blinked: "Brother Xia, where are you going?"

"It's nothing, I just went to discuss something. You two go home and rest."

Xia Linyuan opened the car door and got out. He walked towards Villa No. 1 and pressed the doorbell.

Not long after, Brother Du came over. Seeing that it was Xia Linyuan, he immediately opened the door and said warmly, "Hey, Mr. Ye's cellmate, you're here so early! It's only 8:30, have you eaten yet?"

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "I don't have the habit of eating breakfast, so I came to find Wang Ye."

"Ye Zong is taking his dad for a morning exercise right now. Come on, let me take you there."

Brother Du smiled and led Xia Linyuan toward the backyard.

The bamboo shadows and gentle breeze create a unique atmosphere when the mist has not yet dissipated.

Before Xia Linyuan even reached the destination, he heard Wang Ye's authentic Beijing accent.

"A watermelon cut in half..."

"You get half, I'll get half..."

Chapter 139 Changes in Xia Linyuan's Proportion

"Mr. Ye, Xia Linyuan is looking for you."

Brother Du shouted at Wang Ye from three meters away.

Wang Ye was taken aback, then turned his hand, which was cutting watermelon, and waved to Xia Linyuan: "Hi~"

Xia Linyuan smiled and waved to Wang Ye.

Wang Weiguo, standing to the side, scrutinized Xia Linyuan. When he saw Xia Linyuan's otherworldly air, his heart sank. 'This kid isn't some Taoist priest from a martial arts school, is he?'

"Xiao Ye, who is he?"

Wang Weiguo asked seriously. As the richest man in Beijing, Wang Weiguo did have a certain air of authority when he was serious, but his plump figure and round chin made him look strangely comical.

Wang Ye scratched the back of his head: "Hehe, Dad, this is a friend of mine. His family also lives in Yunzhongzhan. In a way, they're our neighbors."

"Oh, it's good that he's not a Taoist priest."

Wang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to himself.

Wang Ye looked at his father, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Dad, he knows some kung fu too, want to take a look?"

As Wang Ye spoke, he gave Xia Linyuan a look, and Xia Linyuan nodded slightly. Immediately afterward, Wang Ye unleashed a powerful palm strike.

As Wang Ye approached, Xia Linyuan slightly turned his body and struck out with his right hand at Wang Ye's elbow, deflecting the attack with a flick of his wrist. He then turned and struck out with his palm, sending Wang Ye flying.

'Xia Linyuan knows Tai Chi?!'

Wang Ye was secretly shocked, but he didn't stop and walked towards the door: "Dad, let's talk for a while. You practice first. I'll continue teaching you when I get back."

Xia Linyuan bowed to Wang Weiguo and then walked towards the door.

Everything happened so fast that Wang Weiguo hadn't even had time to process it all. Xia Linyuan and the other man had already left the backyard.

"Old Du! That kid's moves are Tai Chi, right?"

Wang Weiguo stared blankly at Brother Du and asked.

"Uh, he's the young master's friend..."

Brother Du broke out in a cold sweat and answered awkwardly.

"He really is a Taoist priest..."

Wang Weiguo's face gradually darkened as he roared to the sky, "You brat, come back here right now! I absolutely forbid you from going to the Taoist temple again!"

.....

"Wow, I just wanted to scare him a little, I didn't expect him to get so angry." Wang Ye shrank back when he heard his father's roar.

"Is it okay?"

Xia Linyuan said to Wang Ye.

"It's nothing. I checked his pulse, and he's in perfect health." Wang Ye shrugged, looking nonchalant, then looked at Xia Linyuan: "What, aren't you busy chasing girls? What do you want?"

"Chasing girls?" Xia Linyuan's mind went blank for a moment, but when he saw Wang Ye's teasing expression, he instantly understood. It must have been Feng Baobao who told him about his disguise. Xia Linyuan sighed: "That was just normal intelligence gathering."

"No need for explanation; explanation is just a cover-up. A cover-up is the truth, and the truth is the beginning of the real story..."

Wang Ye wandered aimlessly through the villa area. Weeping willows lined the roadside, their leaves brushing against his hair and wiping away the sorrow on his shoulders, making him seem like the most carefree person in the world.

Xia Linyuan ignored the topic and asked, "Your father, as the richest man in Beijing, must have had quite a few collaborations with WG Group, right?"

Wang Ye raised an eyebrow: "I rarely get involved in the family business. Is WG Group really that great? If it's very famous, my family might have some dealings with them."

Xia Linyuan nodded: "WG is a company owned by the Wang family. In the next few days, a group of them may encounter some trouble, so I suggest you remind your father to avoid unnecessary losses. It would be best to terminate some unimportant collaborations."

"Something's going to happen to the Wang family's company?" Wang Ye stared wide-eyed at Xia Linyuan: "You're so ruthless, you're going to bankrupt the Wang family's company."

“It’s not exactly a bankruptcy. Businessmen value their reputation the most. Some people in the Wang family are morally corrupt. If your father gets too involved, he might be implicated.” Xia Linyuan said, patting Wang Ye on the shoulder. “Your father’s family is very wealthy. A small disturbance certainly won’t shake Uncle Wang’s business. But money doesn’t grow on trees. So you should cherish your reputation.”

Wang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I will talk to my father about this matter, but ultimately, business matters are my father's decision."

"I know, I'm just here to give you a heads-up."

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly.

"By the way, do you know anything about why Zhang Chulan didn't stay at the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

Xia Linyuan walked to the bench and sat down, then asked Wang Ye.

Wang Ye chuckled and said, "Zhang Chulan carries a lot of weight in the world, and his convictions are much stronger than those of ordinary people. I don't know what he's going to do, but he probably won't be content until he achieves his goal."

"One person can influence the world."

Xia Linyuan suddenly chuckled: "That sounds absurd. I wonder what my place is in the world?"

Wang Ye waved his little finger in front of Xia Linyuan: "When we first met, I already considered you insignificant, no different from an ordinary person."

"Disappointed?"

"No." A glint flashed in Xia Linyuan's eyes: "Then I'm relieved. At least I know that the path I'm taking won't involve too many people."

Wang Ye chuckled: "There are many people in the world who think they are extraordinary. Being able to recognize and accept yourself puts you ahead of 70% of people. Congratulations on being in that 30%."

"Alright, I wasn't lying. I've delivered the message. I started working at three in the morning and haven't rested yet." Xia Linyuan stood up, rubbed his sore neck, and said to Wang Ye, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Wang Ye watched Xia Linyuan walk further and further away, feeling very happy. The mutual respect from the bottom of his heart made him feel the ancient concept of a gentleman's friendship that is as light as water.

We've known each other for a short time, yet it feels like we've known each other for a long time.

Wang Ye lay sprawled on the bench, gazing at the lush willow leaves, and sighed:

"Xia Linyuan is such a nice person..."

'Can you calculate it again?'

Zhuge Qing's voice suddenly echoed in Wang Ye's mind. Wang Ye frowned. How could Zhuge Qing, who was also a sorcerer, say such a thing?

He suspects I miscalculated?
