The doors of Qin Family Bank slowly opened in the morning light, welcoming its first batch of distinguished customers.
Unlike usual, a long queue had quietly formed this morning, with people holding VIP numbers and waiting for the bank's services to begin.
This series of changes is thanks to several innovative measures recently launched by Qin Family Bank, which acted like a shot in the arm, giving this once bankrupt financial institution a sudden new lease on life.
In particular, the promise of "the bank taking responsibility for unfinished buildings" and the attractive benefits of "giving away beauty pills upon reaching deposit targets" not only successfully saved the bank's reputation but also helped it leapfrog into becoming a rising star in the coastal banking industry, surpassing all competitors and taking the top spot among private banks.
Among this group of expectant customers, Anxin stands out.
She wore a light-colored outfit, like a breath of fresh air in spring, which contrasted sharply with the slightly formal attire around her.
She wore a soft mint green knit sweater on top and a white cotton-linen long skirt on the bottom, swaying gently in the wind, exuding both gentleness and a touch of playfulness.
Her long, smooth hair was casually tied up, with a few stray strands falling gently across her forehead, adding a touch of effortless femininity.
Anxin wore a faint smile, but her eyes gleamed with a sly light, as if she were brewing a little-known adventure.
In order to obtain the legendary beauty pill, An Xin got up early, having already planned her next move – not only to successfully obtain the beauty pill, but also to secretly study its ingredients and try to unveil its mystery.
Therefore, every move she made exuded an air of caution and secrecy. While queuing, she deliberately maintained a distance from others, occasionally glancing down as if to check her phone, but in reality, she was observing her surroundings, looking for a possible "breakthrough."
When it was finally her turn to process her transaction, a sly glint flashed in Anxin's eyes. With a seemingly casual yet meticulously planned approach, she quickly completed the deposit procedures and successfully received the beauty pill she had been dreaming of.
The moment An Xin received the beauty pill, a smug smile appeared on her lips, as if she had already foreseen the "scientific exploration" that was about to unfold.
She carefully hid the beauty pill in her small bag and then left the bank as if nothing had happened, but her heart was already racing with excitement, ready to face this "secret mission" full of unknowns and challenges.
This time we got the real thing, so we can ask that chemistry PhD to study it properly again.
Otherwise, the project the three of them worked on would have gone bankrupt. They had invested a lot, but there were no results.
And recently my family has arranged a blind date for me, which is so annoying. The suitor is quite old.
Luckily, I got the beauty pill, otherwise I would have had to go to their door in person to ask for it. If I had gone there in person, something interesting might have happened.
Not far away, an inconspicuous little clinic huddled alone on a street corner, its mottled signboard swaying gently in the breeze, as if whispering untold secrets.
Zhong Haiming, looking haggard and with eyes full of anger and helplessness, wore a mask and walked towards the door that was about to reveal the truth.
Behind him followed a group of uniformed, serious-looking staff members. They were law enforcement officers from relevant regulatory departments, and their purpose was clear—to expose and punish medical scams hidden in the streets.
Zhong Haiming was filled with mixed feelings. Every time he recalled his experience at the clinic, it felt like being cut by a sharp blade.
At first, he was just trying his luck, hoping that these self-proclaimed "experts" could relieve his pain.
However, as time went on, things developed far beyond his expectations.
Whenever he inquired about the progress of his illness with hope, he always received the same answer: "You're almost better. Just take a few more doses of medicine to consolidate the treatment." And these so-called "consolidation medicines" were all expensive and complex Chinese herbal formulas.
Zhong Haiming gritted his teeth and devoted all his efforts to meticulously taking and preparing the medicine according to the doctor's orders, even strictly following some absurd "treatment postures," hoping to get rid of the torment of the disease as soon as possible.
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow—his condition not only failed to improve but worsened, until now, his body has begun to ooze pus, causing him unbearable pain.
Each time he returned to the clinic full of hope for an explanation, the response was always perfunctory: that he himself had not strictly followed the doctor's orders, or that the time for preparing the medicine was not precise enough, or that the posture when taking it was incorrect.
These high-sounding excuses were like heavy hammer blows, striking his heart hard and gradually turning his initial trust into deep suspicion, until he was filled with utter anger and despair.
A million dollars is a huge sum of money for Zhong Haiming. Why spend it on medical treatment when there are so many other things to do with it?
Now, all of that has vanished like a bubble, leaving only a deteriorating health and endless regret.
Zhong Haiming knew he couldn't go on like this any longer; he had to stand up and seek justice for himself and for the innocent patients who might have been deceived as well.
Therefore, he personally contacted the relevant departments and led this righteous team, determined to completely expose and shut down this "black-hearted clinic" that was hiding in the city and exploiting patients' hard-earned money.
Zhong Haiming watched as the group went inside, and the place was quickly raided.
Zhong Haiming received information from law enforcement that these people didn't even have medical licenses, and those medicinal herbs were just placebos!
I can't believe I was so stupid to stay here for treatment for so long!
Zhong Haiming wished he could give himself two big punches!
This whole period of time has been wasted; I've taken a long leave of absence.
I've been terribly harmed by quack doctors!
As a big shot in the provincial capital, I was actually fooled by a bunch of quack doctors. It's infuriating to think about it.
If his body hadn't completely given up, Zhong Haiming would have continued to be fooled.
My body is about to collapse; it's completely ruined.
However, there has been some good news recently. After all the hard work of planting, it's finally time to harvest. I'm currently hospitalized.
The Zhong family still belongs to me; as long as I live, everything will be mine.
With modern medicine being so advanced, this little illness shouldn't kill me.
After swallowing a handful of anti-inflammatory drugs and receiving an injection of hormones, Zhong Haiming rushed to the hospital.
We've waited so long to witness the fruits of our victory.
However, Zhong Haiming felt that something was wrong. It seemed like the timing was off, or something else was wrong. But now his brain had been eroded by the virus, and he was a little confused.
Regardless of all that, let's take a look at Wu Yali first.
