Chapter 7 Rescuing Zheng Guodong



The H Provincial Party Committee compound, Zheng Family Villa.

Han Feng stood in front of the Zheng family's gate, looking up at the unassuming yet imposing three-story building. The guards at the gate gave him a sharp look, but soon, Zheng Weimin personally came out to greet him.

"Han Feng, you're here." Zheng Weimin patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "The old man has been waiting for you for ages."

Han Feng nodded and smiled, following Zheng Weimin into the living room. Zheng Guodong was sitting on the sofa making tea. Seeing Han Feng come in, he immediately smiled and waved, "Little Han, come, sit here. Dinner will be ready soon."

Several home-style dishes were laid out on the mahogany round table; though not luxurious, they exuded refinement. Zheng Guodong personally poured Han Feng a glass of Moutai and said with a smile, "Little Han, let's have a good drink together today, the three of us."

Han Feng smiled and accepted the glass. The wine inside was clear and had a rich aroma. He took a small sip; it was spicy with a sweet aftertaste—truly a fine wine.

Zheng Weimin raised his glass: "Han Feng, I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time. This glass is for you."

Han Feng raised his glass in a toast, and the three chatted amiably. Zheng Guodong, in high spirits, poured Han Feng another glass.

"Little Han, who did you learn your medical skills from?" Zheng Guodong asked curiously.

"It's a family tradition, I know a little bit about it," Han Feng said modestly.

Zheng Weimin laughed and said, "You 'know a little bit' about this, but you're probably even better than the experts at the provincial hospital."

Han Feng smiled without saying a word, and was about to raise his glass when suddenly Zheng Guodong's expression changed, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the table with a "clatter," spilling wine all over the table.

"Dad?!" Zheng Weimin suddenly stood up.

Zheng Guodong's face was deathly pale, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, his right hand pressed tightly against his chest, his breathing was rapid, and his lips had turned bluish-purple.

The system issued an alarm:

"Urgent Warning!"

Zheng Guodong: Acute angina attack!

"Without timely treatment, it will develop into a myocardial infarction within 5 minutes!"

Han Feng's eyes sharpened, and he instantly stood up, grabbing Zheng Guodong to support him: "Secretary Zheng, relax, don't move!"

Zheng Weimin panicked: "What happened?! Everything was fine just now!"

"The alcohol is kicking in, and the emotional turmoil is putting too much strain on his heart," Han Feng said in a deep voice. "Help me help him lie down!"

Zheng Weimin quickly did as instructed, and Han Feng swiftly took out a silver needle kit from his pocket. With lightning speed, he precisely inserted three silver needles into Zheng Guodong's acupoints on his chest.

"Uh—" Zheng Guodong groaned, his breathing becoming more rapid.

Zheng Weimin was sweating profusely: "Should we call an ambulance?!"

"It's too late." Han Feng's eyes were focused as he gently twisted the silver needles with his fingers, while simultaneously activating the "Qi Guiding" ability granted by the system to slowly clear the blocked meridians in his heart.

"Medical skill assessment in progress..."

"Needle application accuracy: 100%"

"Qi guidance: Successful!"

In just two minutes, Zheng Guodong's breathing gradually stabilized, and some color returned to his face. He slowly opened his eyes and weakly looked at Han Feng: "Little Han... saved me again..."

Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the silver needles: "Secretary Zheng, your heart problem is more serious than I thought. You should drink less alcohol in the future."

Zheng Weimin wiped his sweat, still shaken: "Han Feng, your medical skills... are simply divine!"

Han Feng shook his head: "It's just emergency treatment; she'll need to recuperate afterward."

After recovering, Zheng Guodong smiled wryly and said, "I'm old and useless now."

Han Feng poured him a glass of warm water: "You have a good constitution, but you've been overworking for years and have accumulated some hidden ailments. I'll prescribe a medicine for you later, and after a month of treatment, I guarantee you'll be better than you are now."

Zheng Guodong gave Han Feng a deep look, then suddenly laughed and said, "Little Han, it's a pity to keep someone with your skills at school."

Han Feng smiled without saying a word.

Ding: The host has completed the rescue mission.

Ding: Reward unlocked ability: National-level medical skills (can treat most intractable diseases in modern medicine)

Ding: Reward: 30 experience points. Current experience points: 100/500. Current level: 2.

Ding: System has issued a task:

1. To completely eradicate Zheng Guodong's hidden ailment.

2. Remind Zheng Weimin to regulate liver qi stagnation.

Reward: A mysterious USB drive (containing evidence of the Mu Group's crimes).

Experience points +100

Firearms proficiency

Upon seeing this, Han Feng's eyes lit up. Apart from the experience points, the other two rewards seemed very important, especially the mysterious USB drive, which could deal a fatal blow to the Mu Group.

A moment later, Han Feng turned to Zheng Weimin and asked, "Uncle Zheng, have you been staying up late a lot lately? Do you experience occasional sharp pains in your liver area?"

Zheng Weimin was surprised: "You could tell that too?"

"Liver qi stagnation, caused by long-term high-pressure work." Han Feng administered acupuncture again to help Zheng Weimin regulate his condition.

Half an hour later, the Zheng father and son looked refreshed, and their gazes toward Han Feng had completely changed.

"Mission Complete"

"Trust level with the Zheng family +100%"

Just as the Zheng family father and son were basking in the joy of resolving their hidden health ailments, the Mu Group began its operation against Han Feng.

In the afternoon, Han's mother was shopping for groceries at a supermarket near their apartment complex when a stylishly dressed woman walked past her and "accidentally" bumped into her. "Ouch!" the woman exclaimed dramatically, then pointed at Han's mother and shouted, "Thief! She stole my wallet!"

Han's mother was taken aback and retorted, "I didn't!"

But the next second, two uniformed police officers approached: "Madam, please come with us."

Han's mother panicked: "Officer, I really didn't steal anything!"

"Enough with the nonsense!" the woman shrieked. "My wallet's in her pocket!"

The policeman reached into the pocket of Han's mother's coat and, sure enough, pulled out a designer wallet.

"This...this isn't mine!" Han's mother's face turned deathly pale.

"Caught red-handed, take him away!" the policeman said coldly.

Meanwhile, at the factory where Han's father worked.

"Old Han, the factory manager wants to see you." His colleague patted him on the shoulder.

Han's father walked into the office, and the factory manager expressionlessly handed him a document: "The company is laying off employees, and you've been dismissed."

Mr. Han was shocked: "Why? I've worked here for twenty years and never made a mistake!"

The factory manager sneered: "Someone reported you for cutting corners, so the company has decided not to keep you."

Just as all this was happening, the people Zheng Weimin had sent to secretly protect Han Feng's parents discovered everything. They immediately called Zheng Weimin, as they themselves dared not act rashly.

Inside the Zheng family villa, Zheng Weimin's phone rang. He answered the call, his expression changing drastically: "What?!"

Han Feng frowned: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Weimin hung up the phone, his face grim: "I just received news that the Mu family and the Zhou family have taken action against your family."

Han Feng's eyes instantly turned cold.

System alert: Mu Xiaoxiao has detected that the host's family members are being framed by the host.

"Golden option triggered!"

1. Go home immediately (no reward)

2. Use the Zheng family's influence to launch a direct counterattack (Reward: Political and business deterrence +1)

3. Let the Zheng family take action while you secretly make your own plans (requires 2 prediction points, reward: the Mu and Zhou families completely collapse, experience points +200, weapon proficiency, constitution potion x2) Constitution potion description: greatly improves the user's physical fitness, each function +20, the initial value for adults is 30, the current host's physical fitness: 37.

Han Feng slowly stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Director Zheng, it seems I'll have to rely on your influence tonight."

Zheng Weimin and Zheng Guodong exchanged a glance, then nodded: "Tell me, how can we help?"

Han Feng's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes flashing with cold light. "Mu family, I didn't want to deal with you so soon, but you dared to harm my family! Prepare to face my wrath!"
