Bang!!!
Samuel Thomas swiftly hurled the man, sending him crashing into the wall as blood spurted from his mouth.
Swoosh!
The woman in business attire, upon hearing Samuel's name, widened her eyes in shock, staring at him.
"You... You're from the Evan Household?"
At this moment, the bald man lay on the ground, staring at Samuel with a pained expression.
Samuel waved his hand, and Evie stepped forward with a document, placing it in front of the bald man.
"Sign the agreement. From now on, this building has nothing to do with you!"
Samuel's tone was cold.
"Kid, even if you're from the Evan Household, so what? Do you know who's backing me? I'm connected to Vice President Xu of the Jiang Commerce Association. Dream on if you think you can take this building!"
The bald man gritted his teeth and continued to shout defiantly at Samuel.
"Vice President Xu?"
Samuel furrowed his brows, and Evie quickly explained, "He was the first one to stand up against the Heir at yesterday's auction. He's the vice president of the Jiang Commerce Association, one of the three major commerce associations in Jiangnan County, overseeing dozens of corporate groups."
"Kid, did you hear that? The Jiang Commerce Association is powerful. Even the Evan Household in its prime couldn't handle them, let alone a young brat like you. If you think you can oppose them, you're courting death!"
The bald man sneered arrogantly.
"Is that so? Today, I'll show you whether Xu Tianwang can protect you or not!"
Samuel's expression turned cold as he glanced at Evie. "Take him, we're going to find Xu Tianwang!"
With that, Evie grabbed the bald man and followed Samuel out. The woman in business attire opened her mouth as if to say something but eventually stayed silent.
"He's still alive..."
Watching Samuel's departing figure, the woman muttered to herself, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.
Meanwhile, in a villa in Jianghai, a group of people had gathered. They were all dressed in suits, exuding an aura of authority.
These people were the high-ranking officials of the Jiang Commerce Association, each a prominent figure in Jiangnan County's business circles. Their gazes occasionally drifted upstairs.
In front of them sat two individuals: one was Jiang Muge, and the other was a handsome man with slightly long hair, dressed in a long coat, appearing to be around thirty years old.
"Miss Jiang, don't worry. With President Mu's medical skills, your father should be fine. Have some tea," the man said with a relaxed smile as he brewed a cup of tea.
Though Jiang Muge appeared calm, there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes as she glanced upstairs. She responded, "Thank you, Mr. Ning."
Soon, an elderly man with gray hair descended the stairs. Jiang Muge hurriedly stood up and approached him. "President Mu, how is my father?"
"Mr. Jiang's condition is critical. His internal organs are failing. I used acupuncture and medication to temporarily stabilize him, but he can only hold on for three more days at most," the elderly man shook his head as he spoke. Jiang Muge trembled, her face changing colors, while the other high-ranking officials of the Jiang Commerce Association began to murmur among themselves.
"Miss Jiang, are you alright?"
The man beside her stepped forward, asking with concern. Jiang Muge shook her head and looked at the elderly man. "Thank you, President Mu."
"Miss Jiang, you're too kind. It's my inadequacy in medicine that I couldn't save Mr. Jiang. However..." the elderly man paused mid-sentence.
"What is it?" Jiang Muge looked at him sharply. The elderly man replied, "To my knowledge, Mr. Zhou is highly skilled in an acupuncture technique known as the Mystical Needle. If he were willing to intervene, he might not be able to cure Mr. Jiang completely, but he could at least extend his life by six months to a year."
"Mr. Zhou?" Jiang Muge was taken aback.
"Mr. Zhou is one of the five honorary directors of the Dragon Country Medical Association, a true giant in the field. He is also Mr. Ning's master," the elderly man explained.
Swoosh!
Jiang Muge's gaze immediately shifted to the man beside her. The man nodded and said, "Indeed, my master knows the Mystical Needle technique, but he hasn't treated anyone in many years."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou has long since retired from practicing medicine. It won't be easy to convince him to make an exception," the elderly man sighed.
"Mr. Ning, since you're his disciple, surely you can persuade him to help. Please, Mr. Ning, save my father. I, Jiang Muge, will be forever grateful and repay this favor," Jiang Muge bowed deeply before the man.
The man looked at her thoughtfully and replied, "Miss Jiang, you're being too formal. Although we've only just met, I feel a connection between us, and I should help you. However, my master is very stubborn. Even if I plead with him, I may not succeed unless..."
"Unless what?" Jiang Muge asked urgently.
"Unless I can give my master a reason he cannot refuse," the man suggested.
"A reason he cannot refuse?" Jiang Muge frowned.
At that moment, the man added, "My master is quite concerned about my marital status and wishes for me to settle down soon. If Miss Jiang were willing to become my wife, my father-in-law's health would naturally be my concern, and my master would have no reason to refuse."
Swoosh!
Jiang Muge's expression changed instantly, her eyes flickering. At her side, Xiao Yue couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this taking advantage of the situation?"
"Xiao Yue, don't speak out of turn!" Jiang Muge reprimanded her, then looked at the man and said, "Mr. Ning, I apologize for my guard's rudeness. Please don't take offense."
"It's nothing," the man smiled slightly. "Miss Jiang, I understand that my proposal might seem abrupt, but this is the only way I can think of to persuade my master. Besides, I am genuinely fond of you. If you agree to marry me, I promise to treat you well."
"Miss Jiang, I believe Mr. Ning has a point. If you and he were to marry, Mr. Zhou would have no reason to refuse treatment for Mr. Jiang. Moreover, as Mr. Zhou's disciple, Mr. Ning is already making a name for himself in the medical field. He's bound to inherit Mr. Zhou's legacy and become a leading figure in Dragon Country's medical community. The two of you are truly a perfect match..."
