Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan hadn't expected Qian Xinya to be so unreasonable.

Xu Yi couldn't hold back any longer. He took a step forward, pointed at Qian Xinya, and yelled, "Miss Qian, shouldn't you have some conscience?"

"If it weren't for Xiao Chu's intervention, would you and this old man still be standing here?"

"Xiao Chu saved your life. We don't expect you to be grateful, but you can't just turn your back on us, can you? What do you call that? That's called ingratitude!"

"Ungrateful? What kindness has he shown me?"

Qian Xinya turned to look at him, a cold, impatient smirk playing on her lips. "His actions are his own business; I never begged him for anything."

"What, just because I saved someone I'm supposed to be grateful? Does that mean I have to give away the medicinal herbs I painstakingly photographed?"

Xu Yi was speechless after hearing these words.

He had been in the business world for decades and had seen scoundrels and ruffians, but he had never seen a rich heiress speak so shamelessly and confidently.

"you--"

Xu Yi pointed at Qian Xinya, his finger trembling. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't utter a single word.

It's not that I have nothing to say, it's that I have too many things to say, all stuck in my throat, and I don't know which one to say first.

Wenbo stood to the side, his wrinkles appearing to have deepened as if something had pressed them down.

He glanced at Qian Xinya, then at Chu Nan, and whispered, "Miss, Mr. Chu saved our lives after all. A few hundred-year-old herbs are nothing to us, especially since he bought them at market price—"

"Wenbo!"

Qian Xinya interrupted him, her tone carrying an undisguised impatience, "I said, who asked him to save me? Did I beg him to save me?"

Wenbo opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him again.

During the day, at the entrance of the pharmacy, his young lady swept up all the century-old medicines in the entire Hai Nei County, offending a whole room full of medicine merchants and martial arts practitioners.

If Chu Nan hadn't intervened, he and the young lady would be corpses right now, standing in front of that master and servant duo.

Now, all they want is that half-spirit herb, and they've even offered to buy some century-old herbs at market price, but the young lady won't even give them that much face.

But he was ultimately just a servant; he could apologize on Qian Xinya's behalf, but he had no right to teach Qian Xinya a lesson.

That was the Qian family's rule, and it was the rule he had upheld his entire life.

Wenbo turned around and bowed deeply to Chu Nan. "Mr. Chu, on behalf of Miss, I apologize for what happened today."

"Miss has always been the center of attention in her family, so her words may have been a bit excessive. Please don't take it to heart."

His voice was hoarse and weary, not the demeanor of a grandmaster, but more like that of an elderly servant cleaning up the mess left by his ignorant master.

Chu Nan waved his hand, "Sir, there's no need to apologize. Your young lady is right. She really didn't ask me for anything. It was my own fault for meddling."

Upon hearing this, Wenbo's face showed even greater guilt.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but Chu Nan had already turned around and walked back the way he came.

Xu Yi stood there, looking at Qian Xinya who was still arrogant, and wanted to say a few more curses.

Chu Nan glanced back at him and shook his head slightly.

Xu Yi gritted his teeth, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and turned to follow Chu Nan.

On the way back, Xu Yi held back for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Xiao Chu, are we just going to let it go like this? Xiao Ran's illness can't be delayed any longer. Without that half-spirit herb, the previous medicinal soup will only last for a few days at most."

"In a few days, that curse will return. You can break it again, but can Xiao Ran's body withstand it again?"

His voice was urgent, but more than anything, it was filled with confusion.

He didn't understand why Chu Nan was holding back. In the situation just now, the old master next to Qian Xinya was seriously injured, and those bodyguards were no different from paper in front of Chu Nan.

Chu Nan forcibly took it, and Qian Xinya had no chance to resist.

"This is Beihai, not Kyoto. The Qian family has no roots here. Even if you take the medicine, what can she do to you?"

Xu Yi added, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Even if she's the eldest daughter of the Qian family, she still has to keep a low profile in Beihai."

"She can't do anything to me."

Chu Nan stopped and turned to look at Xu Yi. "But what can she do to you? What can she do to Baihua Group?"

"Uncle Xu, the Qian family is a noble family with hundreds of years of history, spanning four major sectors and owning six listed companies."

"I'm not afraid of her, but Baihua Group is different. Your raw material supply, sales channels, and listing approval—which of these can withstand the Qian family's suppression?"

"She may not find a way to deal with me for a while, but if she wants to take down Baihua Group, she only needs to make one phone call."

Xu Yi opened his mouth, but ultimately did not refute it.

It's not that he doesn't understand; it's just that in the face of his daughter's illness, all reason is insignificant.

Chu Nan is right. He may not care about his own safety, but he cannot care about Baihua Group.

That was the culmination of two generations of the Tang family's hard work, and the foundation he had built up over decades of struggling in the business world.

He couldn't ruin his old friend's hard work and his own business just to save his daughter.

"What should we do then?"

Xu Yi's voice was a little hoarse, "We can't get the medicine, and what about Xiao Ran—"

"The medicine will be available."

Chu Nan laughed and said, "If she won't give it to us, we can use other methods to get it."

Xu Yi was taken aback. "What method?"

"steal."

Chu Nan said the word in a very calm tone, "During the day, she locked all the medicinal herbs in the trunk of that Rolls-Royce. She'll definitely move them into her place tonight. I'll just go there tonight and get the medicine I need."

Xu Yi stood there, stunned for a long time.

steal?

He didn't know what a grandmaster was, but the skills Chu Nan had just displayed were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Why would someone like that become a thief?

This……

Xu Yi's voice was filled with deep guilt: "Xiao Chu, for Xiao Ran's sake, I made you do this kind of thing... I really don't know what to say."

"For the sake of our Xu family, you first clashed head-on with the people of the Sea God Palace, and now you're resorting to this despicable act—"

"Uncle Xu, don't overthink it."

Chu Nan waved his hand and laughed, "Our goal is to save Xiao Ran. As long as we can achieve our goal, the means we use are not important."

"Xiao Chu, thank you so much..."

Xu Yi's eyes reddened. He truly hadn't expected that Chu Nan would go to such lengths to save Xiao Ran.

Chu Nan put his arm around Xu Yi's shoulder. "Uncle Xu, there's no need for you to be so polite with us!"

"Let's go back to the hotel first. You can call your friend to scout out the location, so it will be easier for me to make my move."

Xu Yi hesitated and said, "Finding their residence isn't difficult, but what if you get discovered?"

Chu Nan smiled confidently, "Even if that old master wasn't injured, he still wouldn't be able to detect me!"
