The Fierce and Powerful Immortal Physician

Zhou Hao walked shoulder to shoulder with Lu Wanqiu to her office on the third floor. He quickly pulled away from her arm and said, "Ms. Lu, aren't you afraid people will misunderstand?"

"Misunderstanding? Whatever."

Lu Wanqiu chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling: "Are you scared?"

"What am I afraid of? I'm single, I can do whatever I want."

"I'm single too, oh, pshaw, I'm a single, diamond-studded woman. If you come with me, you can just relax and enjoy the wealth and beauty. Are you willing, little man?"

"..."

Zhou Hao was speechless. He had seen shameless people before, but never one this thick-skinned. However, he admired this exceptional woman's casualness and lack of affectation.

"Just kidding~"

Lu Wanqiu smiled mischievously, pointed to a large pile of things on her desk, and said in a soft, crisp voice, "I'm not kidding you anymore, these are all gifts from the Tang family."

Zhou Hao glanced over and instantly activated his Eye of Truth.

They were all expensive health products, but a few Xuanbing Lotus seeds caught his eye. These were snow lotuses from the frigid peaks of mountains six thousand meters high, which bloom and bear fruit only once every hundred years.

It is one of the essential spiritual herbs used in the Four Symbols Body Tempering Soup, the strongest body tempering formula specially made for those with an extremely yang physique before Foundation Establishment.

We already have the Crimson Sun Flower and Spring Grass, and now we've found the Mysterious Ice Lotus Seed. That leaves only the last medicinal herb, White Dew Root, which we must find as soon as possible.

"Please thank the Tang family for me."

Zhou Hao nodded, his hand trembling slightly, and the Xuanbing Lotus Seed was stored in his storage space.

Lu Wanqiu arranged for someone to move the gifts downstairs.

Just then, bodyguard A-Gui arrived at the gate in his Lamborghini and quickly loaded the gifts into the trunk.

Zhou Hao was about to say goodbye and leave.

Just then, my phone vibrated. It was Xia Ziru calling. When I answered, her anxious voice came through:

"Xiao Hao, something happened to my parents at Rongbaozhai in Jirui Antique Street. They said they damaged a famous painting worth tens of millions of yuan, and the shop owner is demanding compensation."

I'm seeing patients right now and can't leave at all. Could you please take a look? If it really is my parents' fault, it's best to downplay it and just settle it quietly with some compensation.

"Okay, Ziruo, don't worry about work. I'll be right there in Jirui. With me here, nothing serious will happen," Zhou Hao reassured her before hanging up.

"Do you need my help? I have some connections in Jirui."

Lu Wanqiu blinked her big, bright eyes and asked.

"Uncle Xia has run into some trouble. I'll go check on him first."

Zhou Hao got into the car and waved.

"Contact me by phone if needed."

Lu Wanqiu watched the Lamborghini disappear from sight before withdrawing her gaze.

Xia Ziruo holds a significant place in the young man's heart.

Twenty minutes later.

The Lamborghini was parked in the parking lot outside the antique street in Jiruili.

Zhou Hao got out of the car without letting A Gui follow him. After making some inquiries, he quickly arrived at Rongbaozhai.

This is a three-story shop located in the most bustling area of ​​Jirui Lane.

A constant stream of people flowed in front of the gate.

The lobby on the first floor was also packed with people.

The exhibition hall is divided into several areas according to major categories, and the display shelves are filled with various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade and antique ornaments.

Zhou Hao searched for Xia Zhongjing's figure in the crowd, when he heard a commotion coming from the famous paintings area not far to his right.

Zhou Hao strode over and saw Xia Zhongjing and Qiu Shulan surrounded by several Rongbaozhai staff members, arguing loudly and getting red in the face.

Many onlookers were enjoying the spectacle.

"What a tragedy! This is an authentic landscape painting by Shi Tao, worth over ten million. Now you've damaged it, so you must compensate for the original price. It's only right and proper, don't you all agree?"

A shop assistant, holding a landscape painting, glared at Xia Zhongjing while speaking with heartache to the onlookers.

"The demand to pay for the damaged items at their original price is not unreasonable."

"Yeah, but it's so unlucky~"

"Just accept it, Shi Tao's paintings are only worth this price."

"..."

The onlookers, always eager for drama, began to chime in with their opinions.

"I really didn't touch this painting, it fell down by itself~ Why should I pay for it~" Xia Zhongjing's face was ashen, and he was extremely agitated, clearly furious.

He was incredibly unlucky. This morning, he was attracted by a flyer in the neighborhood that said an antique shop was having a promotion, a once-in-a-decade opportunity. Being a collector, he impulsively brought Qiu Shulan to take a look, hoping to find a bargain.

Who knew that such a bad thing would happen?

"Yes, my old man wasn't even close; he was just walking by when it suddenly fell down. How can you blame us?"

Qiu Shulan was also extremely anxious, and tears welled up in her eyes.

A ten million yuan compensation claim would be the death of an old man.

Even mortgaging the old man's company wouldn't get him that much money.

"Do you think this painting will grow wings and fly down by itself? We saw it with our own eyes, and we have both witnesses and physical evidence. How can we deny it to you? Even if we take it to court, it's your responsibility. You absolutely cannot refuse to pay compensation."

The shop assistants persisted, spreading alarmist rumors.

"You're all just making excuses!"

Xia Zhongjing and Qiu Shulan were both stunned and stood there, completely bewildered.

"Call your manager here!"

At this moment, Xia Zixuan and Shen Zeyu squeezed through the crowd, panting. Shen Zeyu loudly and righteously addressed the shop assistant:

"If it's our responsibility, we'll compensate you immediately. If not, we won't acknowledge a single penny. Talking to you is a waste of our time."

He was called here by Xia Zixuan. He was initially reluctant to get involved, but as soon as he heard it was Rongbaozhai, he immediately became interested.

Without it,

He knows the manager of Rongbaozhai well; perhaps they can team up again to make some money off his future father-in-law.

Just a few days ago, I got Xia Zhongjing for three million to wipe out Tianye's two million loan and even made a net profit of one million. It couldn't be more awesome.

He rushed over without even taking care of his head wound, which hadn't fully healed.

The entire room fell silent.

All eyes were on this distinguished young man.

Who are you?

The lead clerk looked displeased and suspiciously scrutinized Shen Zeyu.

"I am their son-in-law—the Shen family of Yunyang City—Enough talk, hurry up and call your manager!" Shen Zeyu said imposingly.

"So it's Young Master Shen!"

"I heard the Shen family is quite wealthy; ten million is nothing to them."

"Oh, no wonder the old couple were so arrogant. Tsk tsk, this is going to be good!"

"..."

The onlookers seem to have found a new source of gossip and are getting excited.

"You just wait~"

The lead clerk glared at Shen Zeyu before hurrying away.

"Zeyu, you're finally here~"

The moment Qiu Shulan saw Shen Zeyu, it was as if she had seen a savior. She complained tearfully:

"That's so unfair! Your uncle didn't even touch that painting!"

"Auntie, Uncle, don't worry. I've studied antique and calligraphy appraisal, so they won't dare to do anything reckless. I'll negotiate with their manager when he arrives."

Shen Zeyu was overjoyed; the opportunity to show off and make money had arrived.
