Mu Nanqing snapped back to reality and quickly covered her face with her hands, her eyes brimming with shame.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel those embarrassing thoughts, then turned her back to the clothes rack and started to shower, her face flushing with guilt.

An hour later.

Lu Chuan walked out of the room.

“I think I left my underwear in the bathroom.”

He went to the bathroom, looked toward the clothes rack, and found that his underwear was nowhere to be seen.

After searching around, he found nothing.

“Could I have remembered it wrong?”

Stepping out of the bathroom, Lu Chuan looked puzzled, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the balcony, where he spotted his underwear already hanging there.

“Huh?

It seems like it’s been washed.

Sister-in-law is so kind to me, secretly washing my clothes for me.”

A touched smile spread across his face, and he turned back to his room.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Censorate Department.

Xiao Yun walked out, disheveled and unkempt, his face haggard.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with bitterness and venom.

“Lu Chuan, if I don’t avenge this, I, Xiao Yun, swear I’m not a human being!!!”

Ring, ring, ring…

Xiao Yun picked up the phone and saw that it was Long Hao calling, so he quickly answered.

“What have you been doing these days?

Why has your phone been unreachable?”

Xiao Yun said awkwardly, “Don’t even mention it, I got screwed over by that bastard Lu Chuan and was detained by the Censorate Department for half a month.”

Long Hao: “Is this Lu Chuan that difficult to deal with?”

Xiao Yun replied: “Actually, the kid was just lucky.

Big brother, don’t worry.

Give me some more time, and I will definitely make him disappear from this world!”

“Big brother, let’s not talk about Lu Chuan now.

What’s the reason for your call?”

Long Hao: “I had been calling Mengyao all night the other day and couldn’t get through.

These past two days, she’s been giving me the cold shoulder.

I suspect she’s doing something behind my back.

Keep an eye on her for me, and if it’s still related to that Lu Chuan, immediately find a way to get rid of him for me!”

Xiao Yun immediately agreed, “Brother, don’t worry.

If that little bastard dares to lay a finger on my future sister-in-law, I’ll make sure he doesn’t even have remains left!”

…

The next day, Mu Nanqing went to the bar to process her resignation, while Lu Chuan went looking for a suitable storefront.

After roaming the city district for an entire morning, Lu Chuan finally found a clinic that was planning to transfer ownership in a busy pedestrian street near the city center.

The clinic was built with a retro vibe, with a sign hanging on the door that read “Hanging Gourd Medical Hall” in big characters.

The clinic was quiet and empty, with a transfer notice posted by the door.

Lu Chuan went inside and, after a long discussion with an old man nearing sixty, agreed to buy the clinic for two million, including all the necessary certificates.

Once everything was settled, Lu Chuan asked the old man, “Sir, I see this place has a great location, with a lot of foot traffic on the pedestrian street and several residential complexes nearby.

Logically, there should be plenty of patients, so why would you think of transferring this clinic?”

The old man heaved a sigh and said, “Originally, people were indeed coming and going to seek medical treatment here, but since a year ago, when a Western medicine clinic called Jerry Clinic opened about fifty meters away, everyone started going there instead.

Under pressure, I had no choice but to transfer the clinic.”

Lu Chuan puzzled, “Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine each have their strengths, and traditional Chinese medicine has a heritage of a thousand years.

Many people in the country still trust traditional Chinese medicine.

Even with a Western medicine clinic nearby, it shouldn’t result in no one coming here, right?”

The old man suddenly became a bit angry and said, “You’re right in what you say, but you can’t stand the dirty tricks played by the people from Jerry Clinic.”

“When they first started, they distributed flyers in nearby residential complexes, claiming Western medicine is scientific and traditional Chinese medicine is all about blind guesses.

They touted the rescue of lives by Western medicine and the harming of lives by traditional Chinese medicine.”

“They also organized a lecture every now and then to talk about how advanced Western medicine is, praising the sophistication of Western medical science, while belittling traditional Chinese medicine, saying it has no scientific basis and can’t cure diseases, discouraging people from coming here for treatment.”

“Later, they even hired people to pretend to be patients and set me up.

I treated them according to normal procedures, but then they turned around and accused me of making them worse.”

“After all that, my reputation here was ruined, and patients all started going to Jerry Clinic.

The boss of Jerry Clinic is not even forty, strong and vigorous, with a bunch of young people scheming under him.

I, an old bone, can’t compete with them, so I had to admit defeat.”

Lu Chuan nodded in sudden realization, saying, “So the people from Jerry Clinic are really shameless.”

And in his heart, he screamed: Why didn’t you tell me this before I gave you the money!

The old man patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Young man, you’re young and vigorous; I believe you can surely revive this medical hall.

Work hard and stand up for our traditional Chinese medicine!”

After saying that, he quickly left.

Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, seemingly unconcerned.

He looked at the large medical hall with a smile on his face, “Now I have my own career too!”

After familiarizing himself with the medical hall and cleaning it up, Lu Chuan locked the main door and tore down the transfer notice.

Before the official opening, he still needed to obtain a medical practice license, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to treat anyone.

“You’ve taken over this medical hall?” A voice rang out from behind Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan turned around to see a few young people in their twenties, dressed in white lab coats, staring at him.

The one who spoke was a long-haired girl with a pretty face.

Lu Chuan nodded, “What about it?”

A few people suddenly burst into laughter.

The girl looked at Lu Chuan with a face of sympathy, barely suppressing her laughter, “Good luck to you.

By the way, my name is Fang Miao.

If this medical hall can’t keep going, come and find me.”

Then the group turned and left.

Not far away, Fang Miao burst out laughing, “I can’t believe some poor sap actually took over this crappy medical hall, I really wonder what they were thinking.”

“That guy is so young, obviously a greenhorn.

Most of these types are too full of themselves, probably thinking he can keep this medical hall going or something.”

“Heh, with our Jerry Clinic here, don’t even think about opening another Chinese medicine clinic on this street.

Let’s bet how long his medical hall can last.”

“Half a year?”

“Stop joking, I say at most one month.”

“Even a month is giving him too much credit, I think he’ll shut down in a week.”

…

The group talked loudly without any regard for Lu Chuan, then turned into the extremely modern Jerry Clinic not far away.

Lu Chuan watched the clinic with a speechless gaze, “These guys really have a way with words, not sure where they get their sense of superiority from.

Seems like I’ll need to make some time to show these people the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine.”

Not dwelling on it too much, he put the incident to the back of his mind and took a taxi home.

After a while, a car stopped in front of Jerry Clinic.

Xiao Yun got out and entered the clinic.

Zhang Kaiwen, the owner of Jerry Clinic, hurried over, “Young Master, why didn’t you let me know in advance so I could welcome you properly?”

Xiao Yun sat down on a sofa and said impatiently, “Cut the crap, get ready to give me a full-body checkup.

I’ve been locked up for half a month, eating and sleeping badly, just see if there’s anything wrong with my body.”

Zhang Kaiwen quickly responded, “Yes, yes, I will prepare right away!”

Xiao Yun took out his phone, browsing the news about Lu Chuan representing Chen Family Martial Arts Hall and defeating Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall.

“Damn it, even Su Zhe at the Grandmaster Realm wasn’t your match, you sure are mighty proud of yourself!”

Xiao Yun ground his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

He clicked on a few photos sent to him showing scenes of Lu Chuan and Chu Mengyao together.

“You cur, you stole my Ning Xin, and now you dare to make a move on my future sister-in-law.

You’re digging your own grave, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Zhang Kaiwen brought over a cup of hot water, “Young Master, please have some hot water first.”

Seeing Xiao Yun’s grim face, he asked, “Young Master, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Yun snorted coldly, “Nothing, just annoyed by an idiot.”

He took the hot water and took a sip, then asked, “How’s the business at the clinic lately?”

Zhang Kaiwen eagerly replied, “We’ve used the methods you suggested, and Hanging Gourd Medical Hall has been driven to the brink of closure.

Though someone else has taken over, it’s not a problem.

Now the people nearby all come to us for medical treatment, and Hanging Gourd Medical Hall’s reputation is ruined.”

Xiao Yun nodded, “Your clinic is a very important link in the chain of Jerry Pharmaceuticals.

As long as we make people doubt traditional Chinese medicine, our drugs will sell even more easily.

Keep up the good work.

If you do well, I’ll invest in a few more clinics for you this year.”

Zhang Kaiwen was all smiles, “Rest assured, Young Master, I will not let you down!”

Xiao Yun nodded.

At that moment, he received a message.

“Young Master, Chern Long has arrived in Cloud City.”

Xiao Yun’s eyes lit up, and after a moment of thought, he replied, “Set up a trap, invite celebrities from all walks of life, and have Chern Long prepare.

Tonight, I want to make sure that bastard Lu Chuan has no place to be buried!”

“Yes!”

Xiao Yun’s face revealed a sneaky smile, “Lu Chuan, what does it matter if you beat a Grade 2 Grandmaster?

Chern Long is a Grade 4 Grandmaster I’ve hired at a high price.

Tonight, you’re dead for sure!”
