"I remember! I remember!"

Wei Zuo nodded repeatedly, as if he wanted to break his head off.

"Mr. Su, rest assured, I will never dare to do it again! Absolutely not!"

"That's good." Su Hao withdrew his hand.

"Alright, you can go now."

Wei Zuo felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He turned and ran away as fast as he could, his speed unlike that of an injured middle-aged man. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night in the square.

Chen Meijia stood there, watching Wei Zuo's disheveled figure flee, then looked at the young man who had saved her from dire straits, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

"Thank you... thank you."

"You're welcome." Su Hao nodded to her.

"If you encounter someone like this in the future, just complain to your dean or call the police. Don't be afraid of him, he's just a paper tiger."

Chen Meijia nodded, then couldn't help but glance at Su Hao a few more times before quickly turning around and jogging back to the inpatient department.

As she reached the corner, she stopped, secretly took out her phone, and snapped a picture of Su Hao's back.

She has a cousin named Chen Yue, who works at the Li Group.

This young man seems to have connections with the Li Group; perhaps my cousin knows who he is.

Su Hao, unaware of the little incident behind him, turned and walked towards the parking lot.

Inside the car, Wen Lan was already getting a little impatient.

Seeing Su Hao open the car door and get into the driver's seat, she immediately leaned over, staring intently at him, adopting an interrogation posture.

"Su Hao, who exactly are you?"

Su Hao paused in fastening his seatbelt, then turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending!" Wen Lan crossed her arms, her gaze intense.

"You're just a driver, how could a legendary doctor like Feng Yizhen treat you with such deference? How could you bring a heart attack patient back to life? How could a tycoon like Chen Changfeng bow down and thank you? You're telling me you're just a driver? You're kidding me!"

Su Hao did not answer, but looked at Li Qiuchan.

Li Qiuchan sighed, knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, and slowly explained, "Lanlan, don't get agitated, I'll tell you the truth."

"Su Hao is indeed no ordinary driver. He has lived in seclusion in the mountains since childhood, following three masters to cultivate. His masters asked him to come down the mountain and seek refuge with our family. My grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill, and all the famous doctors in the city were helpless. It was Su Hao who saved my grandfather's life. My grandfather felt sorry for him because he was not familiar with city life, so he arranged for him to have a driver position at the Li Group so that he could gradually adapt to worldly life."

Wen Lan was stunned after hearing this.

Her eyes widened as she looked at Su Hao, then at Li Qiuchan. She opened her mouth several times before finally uttering, "So... he really is... the kind of... reclusive master described in novels?"

"That's roughly how it works," Li Qiuchan nodded.

Wen Lan remained silent for a full three seconds, then suddenly slapped her thigh: "Holy crap! Qiu Chan, you're incredibly lucky! You casually took in a driver, and it turns out he's a reclusive master with miraculous healing abilities! What kind of divine luck is this?!"

She turned to look at Su Hao, her eyes shining as if she were looking at a rare treasure: "Su Hao! From now on, you're my idol! Can I add you on WeChat? Can I treat you to a meal? Can I interview you about your life story?"

Su Hao was taken aback by her sudden enthusiasm and could only smile awkwardly: "Miss Wen, please calm down."

"I can't calm down!" Wen Lan waved her hands excitedly.

"You know what? I've loved reading martial arts and fantasy novels since I was a kid, and I've always dreamed of meeting a true reclusive master! I never thought I'd actually meet one today!"

Looking at her best friend's excited expression, almost jumping for joy, Li Qiuchan helplessly rubbed her forehead, feeling a little regretful.

I should have kept quiet and not told her the truth.

"Alright, calm down. You're almost a teacher yourself."

She then asked, "Where to next?"

"Let's go back to my place. I need to rest. I'm still jet-lagged and can't be a night owl," Wen Lan said after thinking for a moment.

Li Qiuchan gave Su Hao a look.

He immediately understood, turned the steering wheel, drove out of the parking lot, and headed towards Yipin Jiangshan.

On the way, Wen Lan sat in the back seat, still immersed in the excitement she had just experienced.

She would glance at the night view outside the window for a while, then lean over to examine Su Hao's profile, like a cat that had discovered a new toy and couldn't stay still.

"Su Hao, did you really grow up deep in the mountains? Do you have electricity and internet on your mountain? What do you eat and wear? Is it really like in novels, where you practice martial arts, gather herbs, and meditate every day?"

Su Hao gripped the steering wheel, glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and smiled helplessly: "Ms. Wen, you're asking so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

"One at a time! No rush, we have plenty of time tonight!" Wen Lan leaned forward with great interest, gripping the back of the seat in front of her with both hands, looking ready for a long talk.

Li Qiuchan couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to press her head back down: "Alright, alright, stop asking questions like a curious child. Su Hao needs to concentrate on driving, so don't disturb him."

"I was just curious!" Wen Lan pouted, but still obediently leaned back in her seat.

"Think about it, if a living, breathing reclusive master were right in front of me, wouldn't you also be unable to resist asking these questions?"

Li Qiuchan was helpless against her and could only let her and Su Hao ask and answer questions quickly.

Half an hour later, the car came to a smooth stop in the Yipin Jiangshan residential area.

Li Qiuchan unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Su Hao, saying, "Wait in the car for a moment. Wen Lan and I are going upstairs to get something. She brought me some gifts from abroad."

Su Hao nodded: "Okay, no rush."

Li Qiuchan and Wen Lan got out of the car together and walked into the building hand in hand.

As Wen Lan walked, she turned back and winked at Su Hao, then lowered her voice and said to Li Qiuchan, "I'm growing to like your driver more and more. Why don't you give him to me? I happen to need a bodyguard and driver."

Li Qiuchan rolled her eyes at her: "Dream on, go find it yourself."

"You're so stingy." Wen Lan chuckled and pulled her into the elevator.

More than ten minutes later, Li Qiuchan came out of the building alone, carrying several exquisite gift boxes in her hand.

She opened the passenger door, got in, placed the gift box in the back seat, and fastened her seatbelt: "Let's go back to Yunxi Bay."

Su Hao started the car and drove smoothly out of the Yipin Jiangshan residential area, merging into the traffic on the main road.

As night deepened, there were far fewer vehicles on the road than when we arrived.

After the car entered the expressway leading to Yunxi Bay, Li Qiuchan leaned back in her seat and casually said, "Upstairs just now, Wen Lan pulled me aside and asked me a lot of questions about you. She said you're such an amazing person. You're clearly very capable, yet you're so low-key and unassuming, not seeking fame or fortune, and asking for nothing in return. Your character is truly rare."

Su Hao smiled faintly: "She really knows how to flatter me."

"Don't be modest, she genuinely admires you." Li Qiuchan glanced at him sideways.

"Judging from her posture, if I hadn't stopped her, she probably would have already taken out her phone to add you on WeChat."

Su Hao didn't reply, but simply turned the steering wheel gently, and the car smoothly rounded a bend.

Seeing that he didn't seem interested in the topic, Li Qiuchan changed the subject and started talking about company matters.

"The meeting with the Hong Kong businessman this afternoon went fairly smoothly. He wants to invest in a high-end medical project in Nanjing and is currently looking for partners. If we can secure this project, it will greatly help the Li Group expand into new business sectors."

"Medical projects?" Su Hao's interest was slightly piqued.

"Which aspect specifically?"

"It seems they are introducing advanced rehabilitation and physiotherapy technologies from abroad to build a high-end rehabilitation center in Nanjing."

Li Qiuchan pursed her lips.

"However, we are still in the initial contact stage, and we will know the specific details when the formal negotiations begin next week."

As she spoke, she joked with a smile, "If it works out, I'll have to trouble you, the miracle doctor, to give me some advice."

"Can."

The two chatted casually along the way, from work to life, in a relaxed and natural atmosphere.

After Su Hao's outstanding performance over the past few days, Li Qiuchan no longer felt the initial rejection and resistance towards him.

Their relationship quickly heated up, reaching a point that was more than friends but less than lovers...
