Many older people in Kuaiji and Qiantang still remember Bai Yanxi, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine master in his time.

However, like many traditional folk doctors, Bai Yanxi, although literate and well-versed in medical books, did not have a medical license.

Despite his reputation and skill, he still attracted a steady stream of patients. Wu You's grandfather, Wu Rongyuan, had once sought his help, and the effectiveness of his treatment left a deep impression on the young Wu You.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. Bai Yanxi later treated a terminally ill patient in his fifties. After examining him, he said he had a certain chance of success, but the patient had to avoid eating rich, fatty foods and, more importantly, abstaining from sexual intercourse.

At first, the patient Hou Hui was obedient and followed Bai Yanxi's instructions to take the medicine for half a year, and his condition improved significantly. After that, he couldn't help but take the medicine.

Ultimately, his indulgence in women led to the failure of his previous treatments, and he eventually succumbed to his illness and died.

The family members relentlessly harassed Bai Yanxi, demanding an explanation. They even vandalized his clinic and, during a crackdown, reported him for practicing medicine without a license, which resulted in a death.

Bai Yanxi was ultimately sentenced to five years in prison.

After his release from prison, he lost all his family's wealth and became homeless, making it difficult for him to practice medicine. In recent years, he has basically made a living by scavenging.

Bai Yanxi certainly had children, but unfortunately, good people don't always get good rewards. His eldest son died young without any offspring, his second son was cold-hearted, and his daughter-in-law was even more opportunistic, so naturally she wouldn't support Old Master Bai.

After the older generation passed away one after another, few people knew that the elderly scavenger in the eastern corner of SY County was once a master of traditional Chinese medicine.

...

While on the road, Wu You called Zhang Guihua to inquire and learned that the doctor Bai had lived in the Shanyin area.

However, when they arrived, they were completely bewildered. They asked sanitation workers, shop owners, and security guards in the community, but no one knew who Dr. Bai was, and there was no one with the surname Bai running a traditional Chinese medicine clinic nearby.

Wu You rubbed his chin. Had Old Master Bai passed away? Or had he moved?

...

Bai Yanxi's condition was not good at this time.

...

"Hey Bai, you're hard to find. Do you still recognize me?" Hou Li chuckled as he looked at Bai Yanxi, who was taking a nap on a cardboard box.

Bai Yanxi, wearing a dirty, tattered mandarin jacket, squinted as he looked up at the newcomer.

The man was around 40 years old, wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt, and was followed by three bodyguards in black t-shirts.

"I don't know him, and my surname isn't Bai. My name is Huang Guangrong," the old man replied, scratching his itchy body.

He didn't recognize who the other person was, but he could tell from their appearance that they meant no harm.

Hou Li grabbed Bai Yanxi by the collar and lifted the old man up.

"Oh, my Dr. Bai, you've even learned to speak in riddles now. You were quite arrogant when you killed my dad back then."

Bai Yanxi instantly knew the other party's background—the Hou family, who had caused his family's ruin and death. But now that he was at their mercy, he dared not speak carelessly.

"Look at what you're saying, sir. I am Huang Guangrong. I don't know anyone with the surname Bai." Bai Yanxi rubbed his hands, looking somewhat uneasy.

With a "smack," a slap landed on Bai Yanxi's right cheek. Before he could even react, another "smack" landed on his left cheek.

"Pfft~" Bai Yanxi spat out a yellowed tooth along with blood, his head buzzing.

A bodyguard nearby helped Bai Yanxi, who was swaying precariously.

Hou Li walked up to Bai Yanxi and patted Bai Yanxi's face with his phone.

"Do you remember now?"

Bai Yanxi wouldn't dare say no now. He's 86 years old, and although he's still quite healthy thanks to his health regimen, he can't withstand a beating from a young man.

"You... what do you want with me, Bai? You know the truth about your father's situation."

"My family is destroyed and I am already dead, won't you leave me alone?"

Hou Li wiped the sweat from his neck with a tissue, then threw the waste paper on the ground.

"If you had admitted it earlier, there wouldn't have been any problems, right? Dr. Bai, I came here to ask for your help."

Bai Yanxi nearly fainted from anger. Is this how you ask for help?

He remained silent, waiting for Hou Li to continue.

Hou Li glanced at Bai Yanxi sideways: "Your specialty is setting bones and tendons, and helping people recuperate."

"The other party is a big shot. If you can cure his illness, you, this stinking salted fish, will be able to turn your life around."

Seeing that Bai Yanxi showed no expression, Hou Li did not get angry, but instead chuckled sinisterly twice.

"But if you think you can use their connections to get your case overturned, you're sorely mistaken. Our Hou family may not be as good as theirs, but killing an old man like you surnamed Bai is still a piece of cake."

Bai Yanxi understood that this patient had more influence than the Hou family. He had somehow heard about his reputation and wanted to seek his treatment. Hou Li was afraid that he would use this opportunity to make a comeback and bring up old grudges, so he came to sow discord in advance.

...

Wu You was driving by when he saw four people surrounding and beating an old man.

This is outrageous!

He summoned Garurumon inside the car and then drove straight over.

"Mr. Hou, be careful." A bodyguard quickly pulled Hou Li away.

The Maybach came to an abrupt halt just in front of them.

A security guard rushed over and tried to bang on the car door.

"You little brat, you're asking for it! Do you know who you almost ran into?"

Hou Li, however, grabbed the bodyguard.

"Six, come back." He looked at the Maybach Zeppelin and was a little unsure of who the other party was. Anyone who could afford and buy such a car would not be an ordinary person.

...

The car door opened, and a young man wearing a white t-shirt and casual pants stepped out of the driver's seat. It was Wu You.

Before Hou Li and his three bodyguards could react, a burly, towering man stepped out from behind the passenger door.

Despite the sweltering heat, he wore a black suit without breaking a sweat. His two-meter height made the others feel as if they were being looked down upon from several meters away.

Several stray dogs that had been loitering by the roadside and in the garbage dump suddenly started whimpering and ran away.

Wu You quickly walked to Bai Yanxi, who had fallen, and helped him up, with Garuru following closely behind, a step behind.

"Is the old man alright?"

After examining the old man's injuries, I noticed that his face was slightly swollen, there was some blood at the corner of his mouth, and he only had some abrasions.

Bai Yanxi was a little confused. Who was this young man?

...

At this moment, the four people opposite felt a lot of pressure. They were being stared at by the bodyguard of the suddenly appearing kid with his brown eyes, and they even had trouble breathing.

Hou Li has seen more big scenes.

"Who are you? Bai Yanxi has already agreed to go with me to treat an important patient. If you try to take him away from me, General Li will be in a difficult position."

"What? You're Grandpa Bai!" Wu You looked at the old man she had helped up with surprise, completely ignoring the implications of Hou Li's second half of his sentence.

"Sir, I've finally found you. I have an important idea about traditional Chinese medicine that I'd like to ask for your advice and approval."

I glanced at the dilapidated prefab house next door and the pile of garbage cans on the ground.

"It seems you don't have much to worry about. I think you should come back with me. You cured my grandfather back then, and our family hasn't had a chance to properly thank you yet."

Hou Li couldn't take it anymore. Wu You scanned the prefab houses and the trash cans, but ignored the four of them.

"Boy, don't push your luck. You can't take Bai Yanxi with you. Tell me who you are and which family you belong to."

However, Garuru walked from behind Wu You to the front, and with just one look, Hou Li swallowed the harsh words he was about to say.

Although Hou Li brought three bodyguards, Garuru's arms were thicker than the bodyguards' thighs, and the three of them didn't even have the courage to look Garuru in the eye.

Wu You ignored Hou Li and instead looked at the old man: "Grandpa Bai, would it be convenient for you to come with me? I'd like to hire you as my TCM consultant, with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan. How about that?"

Bai Yanxi glanced at Hou Li, then looked at Wu You and smiled.

“I’m an old man, I’ve seen all the wonders of life, what’s inconvenient about that?”

Wu You was overjoyed: "Hahaha~ Grandpa Bai, maybe the most exciting part of your life has just begun!"

...

With a roar of the engine, the Maybach started up.

Seeing Wu You help Bai Yanxi into the Maybach and then drive away, Hou Li and his bodyguard quickly got into their car and prepared to chase after them.

But after only a dozen seconds of chasing, the Maybach in front not only didn't accelerate, but actually stopped.

Garuru got out of the passenger seat and slowly walked to the middle of the road.

Inside Hou Li's Mercedes, Liu Zi, who was driving, instinctively stopped the car as well.

"My lord, what does he want to do?" asked the bodyguard beside him.

Hou Li stared ahead, deep in thought, without saying a word.

Suddenly, Garuru accelerated and flashed more than ten meters to the front of the Mercedes, raising his right hand high in a palm-like gesture.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the four people inside the car, Garurumon's right palm descended with a whooshing sound.

With a loud bang, the rear of the car rose two meters before crashing back down.

The Mercedes' hood was twisted and concave, the windshield shattered, and a plume of smoke billowed from the engine area.

The vehicle alarm sounded "beep beep beep beep..."

The Mercedes stalled completely.

Hou Li and the other three remained motionless, staring in astonishment as the Maybach sped away.
