The five-and-a-half-year-old baby doctor comes to the city to cure those who refuse to listen.

Lin Fu felt his face burning all day.

Wherever he went, he felt that the way his colleagues looked at him was strange.

In those eyes, there was sympathy, mockery, and even more so, a schadenfreude of watching someone's misfortune unfold.

He wanted to get angry, but couldn't find a reason to.

The scene of Chief Zhou personally visiting and hanging the calming jade around the little boy's neck is like a brand, deeply etched into everyone's minds.

Lin Fu, once a shrewd and capable manager, has become a laughing stock in the capital.

"Oh shit!"

Lin Fu kicked a stone bench in the yard, and a sharp pain shot through his toe, making him wince in pain.

"You little brat, you just wait!"

As he was leaning against the wall and rubbing his feet, a commotion suddenly arose from the direction of the front yard of the pharmacy.

Immediately following was a deep and domineering engine roar, approaching from afar, as if it were about to shatter the entire street's bluestone slabs.

"What happened?"

Ignoring his aching foot, Lin Fu limped toward the front yard.

He had just run to the second gate when he saw several men tumbling and crawling in from outside, their faces ashen, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Manager...Manager! Something terrible has happened!"

"The army! It's an army vehicle!"

Lin Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly peeked out from the door frame.

His legs started trembling after just one glance.

One, two, three, four... a full five military jeeps with bright red special license plates, like a row of steel beasts, completely blocked the entire street in front of Jishetang.

The car doors opened in unison with a "whoosh".

Dozens of guards in crisp military uniforms, armed with guns, jumped out of the vehicle.

They moved as fast as special forces in a movie, setting up a cordon at both ends of the street within seconds, keeping all the onlookers outside.

The dark muzzle of the gun gleamed with a chilling light in the morning sunlight.

The surrounding people were so frightened that they fell silent, not daring to even breathe.

What are they doing? Are they raiding the house?

Lin Fu's mind went blank.

But the next second, a huge, uncontrollable ecstasy erupted from the bottom of his heart like a volcano!

He got it!

He understood everything!

Chief Zhou was just putting on an act yesterday! He was just saving face and didn't want to lash out in public!

Today's spectacle is the real deal!

Stealing from a high-ranking military official is a huge deal!

This little brat has really messed things up this time!

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Lin Fu couldn't help but laugh out loud. The muscles on his face were contorted with extreme excitement, making him look even uglier than if he were crying.

It's over! That little bastard is completely finished!

He stumbled and crawled, using the fastest speed he had ever traveled, rushing towards the main courtyard where Lin Jianguo lived.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Something terrible has happened!"

Lin Fu had one foot inside and one foot outside the door, and as if all his bones had been pulled out, he collapsed onto the threshold.

He didn't even bother to get up; he crawled to Lin Jianguo's feet on all fours, his voice distorted with excitement and fear.

"The army! The army has surrounded our shop!"

Lin Jianguo was explaining the medicinal properties of a herb to Chu Chen when he was so startled by Chu Chen that he dropped the herb on the ground.

"What nonsense are you spouting! What army!"

Lin Fu raised his face, which was streaked with tears, pointed outside the door, and gasped for breath.

"It's true, sir! Dozens of soldiers, all armed, have blocked our door!"

He turned his head sharply, his venomous gaze fixed on Chu Chen, who was sitting quietly to the side.

"It must be him! It must be because he stole Chief Zhou's jade pendant!"

"They were being lenient with you yesterday! And today they're here to arrest you! Old Master, this little bastard is going to ruin the Lin family!"

Lin Jianguo's face turned as white as paper in an instant.

He started trembling all over, and instinctively pulled Chu Chen behind him, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

He was scolding Lin Fu, but his voice was trembling with barely concealed fear.

It’s over.

This was the only thought in Lin Jianguo's mind.

How could a businessman like him possibly fight against an army?

If they really want to arrest someone, what can he use to protect his grandson?

The room was eerily quiet.

Only Chu Chen remained seated steadily in that grand master's chair.

He didn't even glance back at the door.

He slowly picked up the emerald green calming jade pendant from the table, held it up to the light, and carefully examined the patterns inside, as if they were more interesting than the dozens of dark gun barrels outside.

"Uncle Fu".

He spoke, his voice not loud, but like a needle, piercing the deathly silence in the room.

You seem quite happy.

Lin Fu's wailing stopped abruptly.

He stared blankly at Chu Chen, not reacting for a moment.

Chu Chen put down the jade pendant, turned his head, and looked at him calmly with those dark eyes.

"Are you so eager for me to be arrested? Does that mean that once I'm gone, you'll be in charge of Jishetang again?"

"I...I didn't!" Lin Fu shrieked, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I was worried about the Lin family! My heart is only for the Lin family!"

Lin Jianguo also recovered from his great panic.

Looking at Lin Fu's distorted face, and then at his calm and composed grandson behind him, a surge of anger overwhelmed his fear.

"Get out!"

Lin Jianguo pointed at Lin Fu's nose, his hand trembling with anger.

"I'm not dead yet! This Lin family is none of your business!"

Just then.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of heavy, powerful thuds of military boots approached clearly from afar.

Each strike felt like a blow to Lin Fu and Lin Jianguo's hearts.

The maids and servants in the courtyard had long been so frightened that they hid inside the house, not daring to even peek out.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the main hall.

The three people inside all turned to look at the doorway.

A lieutenant colonel, dressed in a crisp military uniform and carrying two bars and one star on his shoulders, stood at the door with a stern expression.

Behind him followed two guards carrying submachine guns.

The officer's gaze, like that of an eagle, swept across the room.

Lin Fu's heart was in his throat. He had even thought about how to distance himself from the situation and pin all the blame on that brat.

Lin Jianguo clenched his fists nervously, shielding Chu Chen tightly behind him.

The officer's gaze finally settled on the little boy sitting in the armchair, still playing with the jade pendant in his hand.

Lin Fu stopped breathing.

They're here! They're going to arrest people!

The officer's expression suddenly changed.

The cold, murderous aura on his face melted away instantly, replaced by...respect?

He faced the room, suddenly stood at attention, snapped his heels together, and gave a standard military salute.

His voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

"Reporting, sir!"

"By order of Commander Zhou, the First Platoon of the Guard Company has come to take over security at Jishetang!"

"From now on, not even a fly will be allowed in!"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at the five-year-old child.

"Mr. Chu, please give me your instructions!"
