Inside a high-class VIP ward at the First People's Hospital of Beijing.
Ye Chen lay half-reclined on the hospital bed, the gauze wrapped around his face unable to conceal the arrogance in his eyes.
He was facing the female doctor in the white coat in front of him, and he gave her a smile that he thought was charming and arrogant.
The smile was so forced that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.
"Dr. Song, when will my injury heal?"
"I'm most afraid of pain, so you'll have to be gentle with me."
The female doctor was none other than Song Zhixue, the medical genius from the Song family.
She looked at Ye Chen's affected manner, and her delicate brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
His tone, however, remained professionally gentle.
"Mr. Ye, your injuries are healing well. Please rest and recuperate."
Song Zhixue simply smiled politely, then turned to leave the ward.
She only felt that the person in front of her was smiling strangely, but didn't think much of it.
However, this polite smile was magnified infinitely in Ye Chen's eyes.
As he watched Song Zhixue's departing figure, he had already added her to his list of "concubines" in his heart.
As for Shen Xingling, she's quite attractive, so she's barely worth considering.
Gu Siqing and Su Wanying, who he had previously cared about quite a bit, now held a much lower place in his heart, becoming dispensable "promises."
The chosen one should possess all the good things in the world!
As soon as Song Zhixue left, a short, middle-aged man walked in with his head down and respectful demeanor.
"Dragon King, the bail procedures at the police station have been completed."
Ye Chen's smile instantly turned cold.
"Scorpion, well done."
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
"Keep a close eye on the Qin family's businesses. At all costs, cripple them as soon as possible and bankrupt them completely!"
"And that Black Rose, get me her as soon as possible."
"As long as I defeat her, my Yin-Yang Divine Skill will advance to another level!"
The scorpion lowered its head.
"Yes, Dragon King!"
At the same time, Qin Xiao went to great lengths to finally persuade Gu Siqing and Su Wanying, who were practically clinging to him, to leave.
He changed into a well-tailored casual outfit, and his body, after undergoing a radical transformation, appeared more upright, and the clothes fit him better.
"Yun Yiyi, do you have any suitable systems to recommend for this trip to the antique market?"
As Qin Xiao straightened his cuffs, he asked himself the question in his mind.
"Reporting to the host! Based on the upcoming plot analysis, you will encounter three key events during your trip to the Treasure Pavilion."
Yun Yiyi's voice carried a hint of excitement.
"First, we must stop Ye Chen from acquiring that ancient jade containing spiritual energy."
"Secondly, it concerns jade gambling. Ye Chen will expose a wealthy young man named Geng Yu here."
"Thirdly, Ye Chen's victory in the jade gambling will initially win the attention and favor of the talented Liu Qingyou."
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
Geng Yu?
He vaguely remembered the name; it seemed to be one of the original owner's cronies, someone from a family with a little money, who was usually a lazy and good-for-nothing playboy.
Liu Qingyou, a talented woman from the Liu family, is a female protagonist with a significant role in the original novel.
It seems this trip to Jubaoge will be quite lively.
Qin Xiao left the hotel and took a taxi straight to Jubao Pavilion, the largest antique market in the capital.
The Jubao Pavilion was bustling with people, with various stalls and shops lined up one after another, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh earth and old wood.
Qin Xiao had just stepped through the gate and was looking around at the dazzling array of antiques with great interest when he was suddenly bumped into from the side.
He remained steady, only swaying slightly.
The person who hit him stumbled and almost fell.
"Who's blind...?"
Just as the man was about to lash out, he looked up and saw Qin Xiao's face clearly, and his tone instantly changed completely.
"Oh my! Isn't this Brother Qin Xiao?"
A young man dressed in flashy clothes, with brightly colored hair and a carefree demeanor, approached with a look of surprise on his face.
It was Geng Yu.
He put his arm around Qin Xiao's shoulder, being overly enthusiastic.
"Big brother, I've missed you so much! Where have you been having so much fun lately? You haven't been answering your phone."
"By the way, big brother, did you manage to win over your ice-cold fiancée, Gu Siqing?"
Qin Xiao was about to give a perfunctory reply, saying that it hadn't happened yet.
But then, at an inopportune moment, my phone chimed in with a WeChat message.
The sender was Gu Siqing.
The message contained a photo.
In the photo, a pair of straight, slender legs encased in delicate black stockings are presented on the screen at an extremely alluring angle, with the background appearing to be an office.
Geng Yu, with his sharp eyes, happened to catch a glimpse of the screen content, and his eyes widened instantly.
Holy crap!
"Big brother! You! You're amazing!"
Geng Yu looked at Qin Xiao with disbelief and admiration in his eyes.
Even the notoriously aloof CEO of the Gu family was won over by the eldest brother? And it was such a thrilling affair?
Qin Xiao's lips twitched, and he calmly put away his phone.
He glanced at Geng Yu, who had a lewd smile on his face, and spoke calmly.
"Don't overthink it, this is a diagnostic image they sent me."
"Didn't you notice there's something wrong with her leg shape? It's not straight enough. Let me take a look."
Geng Yu's expression froze instantly as he looked at Qin Xiao with suspicion.
Diagnostic photos?
Using photos of beautiful legs in black stockings to diagnose leg shape?
Brother, that's a really ridiculous excuse!
"Brother, you can even treat illnesses?"
