A strange process? Chen Xiaoqi's face turned red. Could it be that everything that happened yesterday was just part of the process to treat me? And to think I wanted Luo Chao to be my boyfriend for what I thought was the last day of my life, I never expected this to happen.

"What happened?" The old master of the Chen Family was obviously stunned. Did Luo Chao do something earth-shattering?

"There's a risk for the rescuer too. If the treatment fails, they might die along with the person being rescued." The old man pointed at Luo Chao and threw a medical book towards him.

Chen Xiaoqi and Jiang Yuanyuan were not fond of studying, but unfortunately, Jiang Yuanyuan's grades were still quite good. Seeing the medical book, she was taken aback.

Although she couldn't understand the principles inside, the symptoms were exactly the same as Chen Xiaoqi's, not off by a bit. Did that scoundrel Luo Chao really make such sacrifices?

"What's going on?" Luo Chao was stunned. What was it with the mysterious emotions of these three people? And how could it be that the rescuer might die along with the rescued?

That wasn't what they said at the start of the treatment. Luo Chao wanted to smack the old man, but then he suddenly remembered something.

"I came here for acupuncture." Luo Chao was a bit speechless. A simple acupuncture session could lead to so many issues; it was his first time seeing something like this.

Jiang Yuanyuan blushed. No wonder she saw those inappropriate images earlier. It was just for acupuncture, yet she thought Luo Chao had gone wild again.

"Acupuncture? I see. We'll step aside then, but be careful and make sure nothing goes wrong." The old man felt embarrassed for wronging Luo Chao.

However, what happened between Luo Chao and his granddaughter was already a done deal. No matter what, Luo Chao was definitely Chen Xiaoqi's man.

"So, Miss Jiang Yuanyuan, we're willing to help the Jiang Family on one condition: that you let my granddaughter have Luo Chao. After all, you've seen how things are between them."

Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head, clearly not accepting this suggestion.

"Are you planning to drive Chen Xiaoqi away then?" the old man asked angrily. Still, Jiang Yuanyuan just shook her head, but her eyes were filled with grievance.

How could the old man not understand by now? He even somewhat admired Luo Chao; he really had a talent for making Jiang Yuanyuan compromise to this extent.

"Wasn't there a person named Mao Zhonghua before? Who is that?" The old man asked curiously.

Jiang Yuanyuan didn't reply, just getting angrier. Luo Chao truly was knee-deep in romantic debts. Who knew if he'd really end up in Hell after he dies.

Just as they finished speaking, Jiang Yuanyuan's phone rang. She was slightly shocked; who would call her at this time?

"Hello, who is this?" Jiang Yuanyuan was dumbfounded; the number didn't show up.

"Who I am is not important. What's important is whether you recognize this person?"

Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned; sitting in the center of the room was someone anyone could recognize: it was definitely Mao Zhonghua. But how could she be kidnapped? It must be because of the child.

Although they had abducted her, nobody dared to get too close to her, and of course, they wouldn't do anything strange to her.

They must be afraid the woman would go berserk. Even though the Jiang Family was like grasshoppers after autumn, they still had quite a bit of money.

A pregnant woman of the Jiang Family, carrying the child of the Jiang Family; that was certainly very valuable. They intended to gamble one more time just as the Jiang Family was about to collapse.

"Jiang Weidong, you know about your situation, right?" a man said with a smile, looking at Jiang Weidong.

Jiang Weidong nodded. Of course, he knew. If it weren't for these people, the Jiang Family would probably have collapsed by now. But even with their help, the Jiang Family had become a public enemy.

Stocks kept plummeting while the man before him continued to acquire them confidently.

"Rest assured, we will use legitimate channels. Besides, when someone went against your Jiang Family, didn't we help you?"

The man's words sent chills down Jiang Weidong's spine. However, he understood well; neither side was truly good—they were all just equally lousy people.

"Alright, I know you're from some persuasion department, but I need to protect my interests. I'll sign these papers."

Jiang Weidong hesitated not at all, signing the documents as he looked. Yet, the more he looked, the more astonished he felt. He thought these things would be disadvantageous to him, but they were not.

Though he had less control, his money would keep increasing. Though he didn't understand what this strange organization was planning.

But he had no choice; the department's methods were too advanced, and their power was truly amazing.

"You really are impressive. Even if I didn't want to sign this agreement, I have to." Jiang Weidong handed the papers to the man.

"Your choice is a wise one. However, even we cannot handle that particular influence, so please forgive us," the man said helplessly.

"After all, that influence is a cultivation influence, something beyond the ordinary reach—not something ordinary folks like us can meddle with."

Jiang Weidong nodded, understanding the situation now. However, having lived a lifetime, this was his first encounter with such a fascinating world.

Yet it was futile; martial arts training starts from a young age, let alone legendary cultivation. Probably all he could do in this life was to watch from the sidelines.

"Rest assured, although we can't touch that sect, it's still hard for them to target you. We've prepared two bodyguards for you; these are people who survived the most severe battlefields abroad."

Though they were quite wounded, that wasn't important. What's important is that their strength remains formidable.

"That's not a problem, and I know someone named Luo Chao who's also quite skilled. With him around, there should be no significant issues."

The man nodded, realizing it was Luo Chao he heard of, though just a newcomer—not as reliable as the people he had behind him.
