Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan smiled. "Killing people is just a casual thing for me, but my target was the Dragon Beard Root, not your life. Now that I have the Dragon Beard Root, why would I need to kill you?"

Qian Xinya turned to look at Wen Bo, her eyes filled with doubt.

How did the dragon's beard root end up in Chu Nan's hands?

Wenbo lowered his head and told him everything in detail.

After hearing this, Qian Xinya's expression changed from confusion to anger, and then from anger to resentment.

Without the miraculous medicine, even the dragon's beard root has now become someone else's.

She's been struggling for so long, and she's gotten nothing in return!

"Kill me."

Wenbo's expression changed. "Miss!"

"I said, kill me."

Qian Xinya's voice was hoarse and stubborn, "Let him kill me, and then take back the dragon beard root."

"Take the dragon beard root back to Master Jiang. It can at least extend Father's life by another six months. It doesn't matter if I die; Father's life is more important than mine."

"Anyway, I can't win against my second uncle and the others while I'm alive, so I might as well die here. At least my father can wake up."

"Miss, you mustn't!"

Wenbo knelt down by the bedside with a thud, tears welling in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said urgently, "You can't die. Master is waiting for you to come back, and..."

"You just experienced Mr. Chu's medical skills firsthand. Even though all your bones and muscles were shattered, he woke you up in just fifteen minutes."

"As Dr. Sun, who accompanied you, said before, no one could save you from your injuries, but Mr. Chu did it."

"This medical skill... might be able to save the master; there might still be hope for his illness!"

Qian Xinya quieted down.

The stubbornness and resentment that had been surging just moments before slowly subsided after Wenbo finished speaking his last words.

She remained silent for a while, then sat up with Wenbo's help and looked up at Chu Nan.

"Mr. Chu, I'd like to make a deal with you."

Before Chu Nan could speak, Xu Yi laughed. He leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, his tone laced with undisguised sarcasm, "Miss Qian, with your reputation, you'd better not do any deals."

Qian Xinya's ears turned slightly red, but this time she did not refute. She knew she was in the wrong. "I did go back on my word before, but this time is different."

She raised her head, her tone solemn and sincere, "Mr. Chu, if you can help me save one person, I will give you one billion. I can pay you half of the consultation fee now, and the other half after the job is done."

Xu Yi straightened up slightly. Ten billion yuan in working capital?

He had spent most of his life working at Baihua Group, and this was about the amount of liquid capital he could mobilize.

Qian Xinya casually offered a billion yuan, and this was just a promise from a junior.

The Kyoto Inui family truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most prestigious noble families in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Chu Nan shook his head. "I don't lack money."

Qian Xinya was stunned.

She had considered many possibilities of being rejected.

Chu Nan would complain that the money was too little, Chu Nan would not trust her credibility, and Chu Nan would hold a grudge against her for going back on her word in the past.

But she never imagined it would be for this reason.

Money is her most effective weapon and the core competitive advantage of the Qian family in Daxia.

From childhood to adulthood, she could buy anything she wanted with money.

Now she takes out a billion yuan, but the other party says – I don't need the money.

Gan Xinya's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then he gritted his teeth, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision.

She looked up at Chu Nan, her voice filled with a desperate resolve, "If you agree to save that person, I am willing to—repay you with my body."

Qian Xinya knew from a young age that she was very beautiful, not the kind of ordinary beauty that could be seen everywhere, but a kind of refined beauty that had been refined and precipitated after hundreds of years of noble bloodline.

Every feature of her face is perfectly proportioned, and together they exude a natural, unadorned elegance.

She always appeared without makeup, yet all the elaborately dressed socialites present paled in comparison to her.

In Kyoto's social circles, she and another woman were known as the "Twin Beauties of the Eastern City," and the wealthy young men who pursued her could stretch from the gate of the Inui family mansion to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City.

She has never actively pursued anyone, let alone offered herself to someone.

Chu Nan glanced at her, his gaze calm, without any surprise, hesitation, or even lingering on her face.

"I'm not interested."

These words were like a knife, precisely stabbing Qian Xinya in her most confident yet most vulnerable spot.

Her face flushed bright red instantly, not from shyness, but from the anger of being humiliated.

Qian Xinya gritted her teeth and took several deep breaths to prevent herself from having an outburst on the spot.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

"So what exactly do you want?"

Qian Xinya's voice was hoarse and weak; her arrogance had been worn down to a last shred of stubbornness. "You don't want the money, you don't want the person, so what do you want? Surely there's at least one condition that will make you agree?"

"I lack nothing."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Yi suddenly pulled him aside, "Xiao Chu, come here for a second."

He pulled Chu Nan to a corner of the room and lowered his voice, saying, "Little Chu, Nantang Jade Skin Powder is about to be launched. The Qian family is the leader in the pharmaceutical industry in Daxia. If we can get in touch with the Qian family's channels, our product's promotion cycle can be shortened by at least half."

"Moreover, the Qian family's position in the pharmaceutical industry in Daxia cannot be achieved by simply throwing money at it. With the Qian family's endorsement, no one will dare to restrict our distribution channels."

Chu Nan neither refuted nor nodded after listening.

The Qian family's connections were indeed useful, but the efficacy of Nantang Jade Skin Powder was undeniable.

Without any promotion, it will eventually sweep the nation through word of mouth from users.

The Qian family's help only accelerated the process, not provided it.

Qian Xinya overheard every word of their conversation and said, "It's not just about distribution channels. If you're willing to save my father, I can use all the connections and resources the Qian family has in the pharmaceutical industry to promote your product, making it not just a temporary hit, but a benchmark for the entire pharmaceutical industry in Daxia."

"Certification, patents, and industry standards all take time, but with Qianjia's involvement, the time can be minimized."

She paused, then added, "Of course, this condition, in addition to the previous 1 billion, and a favor from me."

"Perhaps it's still far from enough compared to what you did to save my father's life, but this is all I can offer right now."

Xu Yi frantically tried to signal Chu Nan with his eyes, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets, as if he had "agree to her" written all over his face.

Why not take a billion? Why not use the Qian family's connections? Besides, given Qian Xinya's previous behavior, making her owe Chu Nan a huge favor is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Chu Nan pondered for a moment and felt that Xu Yi's words made sense.

There's no need to let personal grudges cause financial trouble.

"I agree, but before that, I need to go back to Beihai to take care of a few things. Once those are done, I'll come to Kyoto to find you."

Qian Xinya was clearly not happy with this answer. "How long will it take you?"

Chu Nan said calmly, "It won't be long."
