Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

A family dinner? Invite them to a family dinner?

What kind of show is the Zhou family putting on this time?

Ye Chen was filled with doubt. Apart from their feud, there was no reason why the Zhou family would invite him to the family banquet.

Without hesitation, he accepted the invitation from Zhou Xinde. Opening the invitation, he found it filled with handwritten Yan style calligraphy, vigorous and powerful, clearly the work of a trained calligrapher.

After briefly glancing at the invitation, Ye Chen handed it to Jiang Ruoxi. He looked up at Zhou Xinde and said, "Mr. Zhou, we have no prior relationship. Besides, you must already know about my affair with your nephew, right? Attending the Zhou family banquet at this time seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"

"Hey, Brother Ye, you're a man destined for great things. Besides, Tianhao's situation is his own fault; he has no one to blame but himself."

Zhou Xinde's attitude surprised Ye Chen. He wasn't there to seek revenge or demand anything; it was more like a gathering of old friends.

The more Zhou Xinde acted this way, the more ominous Ye Chen felt. It was impossible for someone to invite someone who had broken his own nephew's arm to dinner for no reason.

This clearly defies common sense and logic.

"Tianhao has been spoiled since childhood and doesn't know his place. Brother Ye taught him a lesson for me, and I'm more than grateful. How could I possibly hold a grudge over such a small matter?"

Before Zhou Xinde could finish speaking, Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help but glance at him again, thinking about how broad his mind and magnanimous he must be to have such a capacity.

Zhou Xinde's nephew had his hand crippled and was beaten up by Ye Chen several times. Instead of seeking revenge, he went to thank him.

Jiang Ruoxi thought about it and realized that if she were Zhou Xinde, this matter concerning her nephew would definitely be an insurmountable obstacle.

This Zhou Xinde is either truly profound and righteous to the point of being extraordinary, or he is so cunning that no one can see through his true intentions.

Ye Chen was thinking about the latter.

He grew up in Medicine King Valley with his master since childhood and had seen countless masters, but Zhou Xinde was the first one he couldn't figure out.

Zhou Xinde spoke with impeccable eloquence and his expression was as gentle as a spring breeze, but the sharpness hidden deep in his eyes was sharper than a knife; he was practically an old fox who had cultivated for over a thousand years.

"Mr. Zhou, you flatter me. I was just passing by that day and helped Mr. Zhou with a small favor. Since Mr. Zhou has extended such a warm invitation, Mr. Jiang and I will definitely be there on time."

Ye Chen had long wanted to find out the Zhou family's background, and this was the perfect opportunity.

"Alright, Brother Ye, President Jiang, thank you for the honor. I'll be waiting for your arrival."

Zhou Xinde nodded, his smile unchanged. No one knew what he looked like when he lost his temper.

"President Jiang, please forgive my intrusion. Apart from Brother Ye, the heads of several major families in Jiangcheng will be attending the banquet on Saturday. Perhaps it will be helpful for President Jiang's new energy project."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I will definitely keep the appointment." At this moment, Jiang Ruoxi was not as aloof as before, and her words were gentler.

Zhou Xinde didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the door. Zhou Mingyu followed closely behind him. The six bodyguards moved in perfect unison, as if they were six clones of the same person.

Before getting into the car, Zhou Xinde suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Ye Chen, still smiling, and said, "Oh, by the way, Brother Ye."

"Is there anything else, Mr. Zhou?"

"I've heard that Brother Ye is a descendant of Medicine King Valley. I've long admired the medical skills and martial arts of Medicine King Valley. I hope to have a good exchange with Brother Ye on Saturday evening. Would you do me the honor?"

Zhou Xinde's gaze remained fixed on Ye Chen, as if waiting for Ye Chen's answer, or as if confirming something, making everything unfathomable.

"Oh, is that so? Mr. Zhou has really gone to great lengths!" Ye Chen did not directly answer Zhou Xinde's question.

Zhou Xinde didn't continue speaking, turned around and got into the back seat of the Mercedes.

Three black Mercedes-Benz cars drove away from the Jiang Group building, leaving a group of Jiang Group employees in the lobby dumbfounded.

He Jianping wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, walked over to Ye Chen, and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Ye, this Zhou Xinde is up to no good. You'd better be careful."

"Minister He, don't worry. What's coming can't be avoided. We can only face it seriously. There's no other suitable way."

Ye Chen recalled Zhou Xinde's last words, which were euphemistically called communication, but bluntly put, they were a test.

What was Zhou Xinde trying to test? Was he testing Ye Chen's strength? Or was he testing the trump card of Medicine King Valley?

"I hope to have the opportunity to have a good chat with Brother Ye." There was something different about the way he said it.

Saturday's dinner is likely a trap, but no matter what, Ye Chen has to attend.

"Minister He, could you please help me find out which families attended the banquet at the Zhou family villa in previous years, and what the specific procedures were?"

Ye Chen was too lazy to think too much about it. He would just have to deal with whatever came his way and deal with whatever came his way.

"Minister He, also, investigate Zhou Xinde thoroughly, the more details the better—his personality, hobbies, martial arts style, find out everything..."

"Understood, I'll go right away." With Ye Chen at the company, He Jianping felt much more confident in his work.

Jiang Ruoxi walked to Ye Chen's side, her eyes filled with worry: "You agreed to attend the banquet, aren't you afraid he'll set a trap for you?"

"Scared? Of course I'm scared, mainly because you're coming with me. I don't care at all if I'm alone. But I still have to face it; there's no escaping it..."

Ye Chen smiled, not faking it, but genuinely happy. Jiang Ruoxi was concerned about him and worried about him.

Ye Chen reached out and pressed the elevator's up button. When the elevator doors opened, he stepped aside to let Jiang Ruoxi go in first, and then followed her in.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and the two people inside stood silently.

"When I was on the mountain, my master once told me, 'If you want to fish, you have to be willing to put bait on your hook.' Zhou Xinde wanted to catch me, and I wanted to see how much bait he had on his hook."

Feeling lonely, Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, citing the example from the mountain, his purpose being to dispel Jiang Ruoxi's concerns.

"Besides, aren't you going too, wife? Even if it's a trap, with my wife by my side, I, Ye Chen, have nothing to be afraid of."

Jiang Ruoxi glanced at him, her expression returning to its usual coldness.

"Ye Chen, you're being glib again. Can't you be serious for once?"

"Honey, this is difficult. I'll try my best!"

The elevator stopped on the thirty-first floor. Before the doors opened, Jiang Ruoxi suddenly whispered, "Remember to wear the suit I bought you on Saturday."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and instantly understood what Jiang Ruoxi meant.

"Alright, honey, everything will be done as you said!"
