Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Five years ago, Chen Huo woke up to find himself convicted of a serious crime.

Before this, he was drinking with these few cronies.

"Brother Huo, we don't know anything!" one of them spoke first. "We went drinking and got all drunk. You disappeared halfway through, but we didn't think much of it. We assumed you were resting somewhere or had spotted some beautiful girl. Who knew it would turn out to be..."

"Brother Huo, we're all brothers. You've always been generous to us, why would we harm you!"

"We know you've been suffering in jail. It's all our fault; we were careless and let you get framed..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo took a deep breath: "Even now, you still won't tell me a single truth!"

"Since the investigation has traced it back to you, do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?"

"The bandit king of Jiangcheng just died by my hand! If you want, I can take care of all four of your families as well!"

"I'm talking about all four of you, your entire family!"

Upon hearing this, the group involuntarily shivered.

In fact, they already knew that Chen Huo had been released from prison.

They all thought things had changed, and with the Chen family gone, they chose to remain silent, pretending they knew nothing.

Unexpectedly, after five years in prison, Chen Huo not only didn't collapse, but became terrifyingly strong.

Not only did she become the young master of the Goddess Pavilion, but she also used such ruthless methods!

Even the bandit king who commanded three thousand ruthless bandits died at his hands!

"Brother Huo, please don't!" one of them pleaded, "We were forced into this situation!"

"Even you can't escape this fate, how dare we, a few small families, resist!"

"Yeah, Brother Huo, we might not call ourselves true brothers, but we've had a bond for so many years! When you got out of prison, we were warned that if you dared to say anything, you'd be dead!"

Chen Huo chuckled: "You think you can live just by not talking!"

"My patience is limited, don't keep me waiting!"

"Three, two, one..."

"No, Brother Huo, I'll talk, I'll talk..." One of them finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and said with a mournful face, "It was the Zheng family, the Zheng family told us to drug your drink and get you drunk!"

"Which Zheng family?" Chen Huo frowned.

"It's the Zheng family, one of the four major families in Jiangcheng!" the man said.

Chen Huo frowned even more deeply.

The Chen family was a well-known wealthy merchant family in Jiangcheng back then.

Although they can't compare to the four major families, they still have to give them some face.

Moreover, the Chen and Zheng families have never had any dealings, their relationship is not deep, and there is no enmity between them.

Why would the Zheng family target him for no reason?

"What's the reason? Zheng family, why did you frame me!"

"Well...we don't know!" another person said. "The Zheng family found us and told us to do as they instructed, so we didn't dare ask any questions!"

"What about the Chen family?" Chen Huo continued, "After my incident, the Chen family also suffered a fatal blow. Was that also done by the Zheng family?"

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads vigorously.

"Brother Huo, we knew even less about this!"

"Anyway, it was the Zheng family who instructed us to frame you; we had no right to participate in anything else!"

"After your incident, the Chen family followed suit. Even if it wasn't the Zheng family, other powerful families or factions probably wouldn't let it go either..."

Chen Huo threw away his cigarette butt and didn't say anything more.

He knew these fair-weather friends and drinking buddies all too well.

They're all young masters from third-rate families. They can indulge in debauchery, but if it comes to doing anything truly significant, they don't even qualify to sit at the table.

"Alright, that's settled then!"

"Brother Huo, we've said everything we needed to say, can you let us go now?"

"Brother Huo, the Zheng family is one of the four major families; we really have no choice but to do it!"

"If you're willing to spare us, we'll follow your lead from now on..."

Chen Huo flicked his cigarette ash, didn't respond, and walked out.

"Shut up, all of you!" Yu Ji kicked them to the ground and walked out of the basement. "Young Master, these four people, aren't they...?"

"Forget it, let them go back!"

"Young Master, they..."

"Ultimately, they were just a few henchmen used as pawns. Killing them would be pointless. Who told me to be so soft-hearted?" Chen Huo chuckled. "I'm heading back now!"

Yu Ji watched his departing figure, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Soft-hearted?

When he killed the bandit king Wang Hongdao, he didn't show a single sign of weakness!

But sometimes, he is so gentle that he doesn't seem like a person from the martial arts world!

This made Yu Ji even more curious about this young master.

What kind of man is he?

"Chen Huo!"

As soon as Chen Huo came out of the manor, a woman called out to him.

Jiang Aiwei leaned against her car and stomped her slightly numb feet: "You're finally out! I thought you died inside!"

"What, so worried about me? Afraid of becoming a widow?" Chen Huo asked with a half-smile.

"Go to hell!" Jiang Aiwei gritted her teeth in anger. "They say if you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems. I lent you 80 million. If you're going to die, you'd better finish treating my illness first!"

"I told you, your condition stabilized after what happened in prison, there's no need to rush!" Chen Huo opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and said, "Take me home!"

"You're not in a hurry, but I am!" Jiang Aiwei said impatiently. "Give me a straight answer!"

"What's your relationship with the Zheng family like?" Chen Huo suddenly asked.

Jiang Aiwei was stunned. What was going on?

Why bring up the Zheng family when we're talking about treating illnesses?

That's completely irrelevant!

"Not good at all!" Jiang Aiwei replied, though full of complaints. "In recent years, my Jiang family's business has declined, and I've also been ill. The Zheng family and the other two families are all eyeing us greedily, hoping that my Jiang family will fall so they can squeeze every last drop of blood from our bones!"

"How good can the relationship be?"

"Find a time to arrange a meeting with the Zheng family; I need to talk to them!" Chen Huo said. "Then, I'll treat your illness!"

"Why did you invite the Zheng family?" Jiang Aiwei asked, puzzled. "That's perfect," she continued, "Our four major families are having a meeting tomorrow. If you come with me, you'll naturally be able to meet the Zheng family!"

"You still need to have a meeting?" Chen Huo raised an eyebrow.

"Heh, although the four major families have been constantly vying for power, they are still a unified interest group to the outside world!" Jiang Aiwei said with a forced smile. "However, tomorrow's meeting won't be a good thing! My father is the president of the Jiangcheng Business Alliance, and he has a say in many matters. They're getting restless and want to force him to step down!"

"So please, cure my illness as soon as possible, otherwise, both I and the Jiang family will be doomed!"

"It's not as serious as you make it out to be!" Chen Huo said calmly. "We were husband and wife for a night, after all, there's a hundred days of kindness in our relationship. I won't let anything happen to you!"

"Get lost!"

The car started, and Jiang Aiwei stepped on the gas, driving away from the manor and dropping Chen Huo off at home: "I'll pick you up tomorrow, don't stand me up!"
