Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan stepped over the huge pit and walked step by step toward the burial platform.

Wherever he went, the crowd parted to both sides like a tide.

Those guests who had been talking loudly just moments before now all had their heads down, not even having the courage to look him in the eye.

Several guards from the Jin family stood on either side of the altar, unsure whether to raise or lower their weapons, their faces covered in cold sweat.

Chu Nan walked to the platform and looked up at Jin Jiucheng.

"Mr. Jin, I am Chu Nan, and I have come uninvited to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you do not mind."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly, performing a respectful and humble gesture befitting a junior.

Jin Jiucheng looked at him, then at Gu Changfeng, who was exhausted at the edge of the pit.

Two seconds later, the old man who had been in charge of the Jin family for forty years actually smiled, "Good, good is what you call coming to offer birthday wishes."

He sat back down in his chair, took the wine cup that Jin Zhong had refilled, and raised it to the guests. "Today is my ninetieth birthday. You are a guest from afar. Come, serve this young friend Chu... wine!"

There was not a trace of anger in his voice.

Even his smile was genuine, like a hospitable old man welcoming a distinguished guest from afar.

Only those who are close enough can see that the back of Jin Jiucheng's hand, which is holding the wine glass, is covered with bulging veins.

The butler, Jin Zhong, personally served a glass of wine to Chu Nan.

Chu Nan took it and drank it all in one gulp.

"Little friend, you have a high alcohol tolerance."

Jin Jiucheng said with a smile, "Why don't we take a seat and have a good drink?"

"I won't drink much alcohol."

Chu Nan put down his wine glass and glanced at the guests. "Besides wishing the old man a happy birthday, I have another matter to discuss with you today."

He pointed in Kim Sung-yeol's direction: "He owes me 10 billion."

Kim Sungyeol's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

The smile on Jin Jiucheng's face finally faded.

But he didn't react; he just silently watched Chu Nan, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the funeral chair.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke, "Young friend, some things should be left at that point. Today you injured several members of my Jin family and destroyed an entire courtyard. I have already decided not to pursue the matter further. What more do you want?"

"Paying back debts is a matter of course," Chu Nan said calmly.

Jin Jiucheng's expression turned completely cold.

The guests were all silent, everyone knew that the head of the Jin family was about to be enraged.

They were right. Jin Jiucheng was indeed very angry and wished he could tear Chu Nan apart on the spot, but... he couldn't.

Because he has no cards left in his hand, at least not for the time being.

Moreover, in this situation, losing one's temper in front of all the guests would only make one appear as an impotent rage.

"Young friend, you're right. It's only right to pay back debts. That's how it is..."

Jin Jiucheng sighed, "Even a powerful family like ours can't just casually produce 10 billion in cash. We'll give you 5 billion today, and as for the remaining 5 billion, I, Jinjia, will have to raise it over the next few days."

"Of course, to show my sincerity, among my birthday gifts today are nine spiritual herbs. Mr. Chu may choose one, is that alright?"

His words shocked everyone present.

Mr. Jin actually conceded?

Among those present were people who had spent most of their lives dealing with prominent families in the capital. These people knew all too well that a family's reputation was more important than anything else.

Especially families like the Jin family, which established their reputation through martial arts.

But today, Jinjiucheng actually conceded.

"Okay, where's the elixir?"

Chu Nan was never after 10 billion, and he knew very well that the so-called giving 5 billion first and then another 5 billion was just a delaying tactic.

However, he didn't care about any of that. What he cared about was... the spiritual medicine of Jin Jiucheng!

"Jin Zhong".

"Yes, sir!"

Jin Jiucheng waved his hand, signaling Jin Zhong to take Chu Nan to the warehouse.

Once Chu Nan's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, he picked up his wine cup and said to the guests who were still in a daze, "Gentlemen, I apologize for my poor arrangements today, which have made you all laugh. This cup of wine is my apology to you all."

"It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest early. The Jin family will host a banquet another day."

This is an order to leave.

But none of the guests felt uncomfortable.

On the contrary, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Jiucheng offered them a way out, and they simply followed it.

Besides, given the situation today, who's in the mood for drinking? It's best to leave as soon as possible.

The guests rose to take their leave and walked towards the gate of the mansion in twos and threes.

After the battle between Chu Nan and Gu Changfeng, the entire main courtyard of the Jin family was left in ruins.

"The Jin family has truly fallen this time."

"Stop talking, let's go."

"I heard that Gu Changfeng has never lost since he became the second-in-command of the Golden Armor Sect, but today he actually..."

"What is the background of that young man? A grandmaster in his early twenties, I would never believe he doesn't have some powerful force behind him."

"In short, there's one more person in the capital you can't mess with now, Chu Nan, Chu Nan... I'll definitely have to give the younger generation a good talking-to when I get home!"

The Jin family's storeroom was enormous; birthday gifts alone had their own separate room.

Chu Nan flipped through the gift book and quickly selected the best-looking medicinal herb.

It was a purple-stemmed grass about half a foot long, placed in a jade box, its roots still carrying the damp scent of earth.

Jin Zhong then had someone bring him a black bank card and transferred 5 billion into it in front of Chu Nan.

"Mr. Chu, the remaining five billion will be delivered to your residence by the Jin family in three days."

Jin Zhong spoke politely, and there was not a trace of rudeness on his face.

"No rush."

Chu Nan packed up the items and walked straight out of the warehouse.

By this time, most of the guests in the courtyard had left, and those who remained were mostly members of the Jin family.

Those eyes followed his retreating figure; some were filled with hatred, some with fear, and some with confusion, but no one dared to utter a single word.

"Sir, now that the birthday banquet is over, I shall take my leave."

After Chu Nan finished speaking, he took a step and disappeared from the spot.

Jin Jiucheng's face also changed completely from a smiling expression to a gloomy expression!

This outcome was something Kim Sung-yeol never expected.

He wanted to explain, but he knew very well that any explanation would be useless now, so without saying a word, he knelt down on the ground.

"Father, that brat is so arrogant, we can't just let this go!"

Kim Sung-yeol's father, Kim Soo-yeop, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his face flushed red. "He's defecating on our Kim family's neck!"

"Shut up!"

Jin Jiucheng glanced at him. "You think I don't know? If I could keep him, I would have done it long ago. Even Mr. Gu failed. What makes you think you can keep him?"

Kim Soo-yeop was speechless, and as he sat back down, he kicked Kim Sung-yeol.

"Cheng Lie, say it again, what exactly is Chu Nan's background?" Jin Jiucheng said.

Kim Sung-yeol cautiously raised his head and recounted everything that had happened from yesterday's auction to today, without daring to hide anything.

As Kim Sung-yeol spoke, a handsome young man's hands clenched tighter and tighter...
