In the private room, the group ordered a table full of exotic delicacies, and the four beauties were both toasting and serving dishes. If An Xiaodi hadn't been keeping a close eye, it's likely that if Lin Chen wanted to book a room, all three would've agreed without hesitation.

While Lin Chen was basking in the feminine allure, savoring the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful women, suddenly a figure with a panicked expression burst through the door.

A middle-aged man wearing a suit rushed up to Lin Chen, anxiously speaking, "Young man, my father just suddenly coughed up blood, and now he has lost consciousness. I beg you, please save him!"

The four beauties looked at each other in confusion. Zhao Min's eyes flashed, her face suddenly changed—wasn't this middle-aged man Zuo Haotian, the CEO of Haotian Group?

It was indeed him, Zuo Haotian!

The other three were also stunned, speechless.

Zuo Haotian's name was known to everyone in China; Haotian Group was one of the top e-commerce giants in the country. His name often appeared on television and the internet, but they never imagined they would encounter him in person today. What was more shocking was that this man, standing at the pinnacle of wealth, was actually begging Lin Chen for help.

Yet Lin Chen remained seated without moving. He set down his glass and said indifferently, "I already offered a well-intentioned warning earlier, but you responded with cold words. I am under no obligation to assist you."

What? Lin Chen actually refused Zuo Haotian's request.

Zuo Haotian, a man perched at the apex of the pyramid, someone people couldn't even flatter if they tried—Lin Chen had openly refused him.

Zuo Haotian hadn't expected to be shut out like this, but the look on his face was still one of supplication, "Young man, we indeed acted inappropriately just now, it was all our fault. But my father is now in critical condition, and it will take an ambulance an hour to get here. Without your intervention, I fear for his life... Please, save my father.

I will agree to any condition you name if you're willing to help."

As he spoke, tears began to stream from the corners of Zuo Haotian's eyes.

Everyone was surprised to see Zuo Haotian lower his proud head, and even cry in front of them, all for the sake of saving his father.

Lin Chen sighed and stood up, "Alright, for the sake of your filial piety, I will give it a try!"

"Thank you, young man!" Upon hearing that Lin Chen would help, Zuo Haotian was overjoyed and hurriedly led Lin Chen out of the room.

After the two men left, the four were still dumbfounded.

"Did I just dream? Zuo Haotian actually asked Lin Chen for help!"

"Yeah, I've never seen Zuo Haotian show such a humble attitude before!"

The girls were all dumbstruck—Lin Chen was amazing.

In the emperor-level suite, Zuo family members surrounded an elderly man, wailing and sobbing, creating a somber scene.

The most important reason the Zuo family had become a commercial empire was the support of Elder Zuo. It could be said that Zuo Tian was half of the Zuo family's empire, and his death would be a devastating blow to them.

Zuo Tian was the Zuo family's sky, and if it fell, how could they not be utterly heartbroken?

"Stop crying, the old man isn't dead yet. What are you wailing for!" Zuo Haotian said, frowning as he walked into the room with Lin Chen.

The room immediately fell silent. Zuo Haotian led Lin Chen through the crowd to the old man.

"I would like everyone to leave, please. I need a quiet environment to treat the patient," Lin Chen said sternly.

The other family members cooperated and left the room, but Zuo Jie frowned and said in a low voice, "What right do you have to make us leave? Who do you think you are? And it's not like my grandfather's condition couldn't have been caused by you just now!"

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold, "If you want your grandfather to live, get out of the room now. Otherwise, prepare to collect his body."

Zuo Jie had been targeting Lin Chen even in the corridor just now, and now here he was, barking like a mad dog on the side. Lin Chen finally had enough.

Zuo Jie couldn't believe that this country bumpkin actually dared to openly curse at him and was furious, "What the fuck did you say? You dare to curse at this young master, you're looking for death!"

```

"Zuo Jie, get out of this room at once!" Zuo Haotian said coldly.

"Dad, how can you believe in this charlatan? This guy is just pretending and fooling around; don't trust him," Zuo Jie said to his father.

Lin Chen's gaze turned icy as he suddenly stood up, addressing Zuo Haotian with a chill in his voice, "Mr. Zuo, regardless of how impressive the Zuo family is, I, Lin Chen, owe you nothing. To lend a hand is a favor, not to is my right. If there's another wild dog barking beside me, then I'm sorry, please seek someone else for your needs!"

"Fuck, you dare call me a dog? I'll cripple you today," Zuo Jie raged, rolling up his sleeves and charging towards Lin Chen.

However, he had barely taken a step when Zuo Haotian suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Slap!"

A loud smack resounded, sending Zuo Jie reeling.

"Dad, you actually hit me for this beggar?" As the only son pampered by the family, Zuo Jie had never been struck by his father. He could never have imagined that for Lin Chen's sake, today Zuo Haotian would slap him.

Zuo Jie, holding his swollen face, looked at his father in disbelief.

"Get out, just get out," Zuo Haotian ordered, pointing at the door furiously.

"Fine, kid, I'll remember you," Zuo Jie said bitterly, clutching his face as he ran out of the private room.

"This unfilial son!"

Zuo Haotian, watching Zuo Jie's retreating back, sighed, "Young man, please proceed quickly and save my father!"

"Okay, please leave as well," Lin Chen nodded.

Zuo Haotian nodded, turned around, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

Lin Chen took out silver needles from his pocket and inserted them one by one into the elderly man's head. Moments later, dark blood slowly oozed from the needles.

Cough cough!

The old man suddenly coughed a few times and opened his eyes.

Lin Chen saw through his special vision that the blood clots that had blocked the old man's brain arteries were now completely cleared.

If Lin Chen had not intervened, even if the man were taken to the hospital, surgery would be necessary, and at best, he would live for another year. But with acupuncture, Lin Chen had forced the toxic blood from the man's vessels, extending his life by at least ten years.

Watching the old man's complexion slowly turn rosy, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the noise, the door was pushed open, and upon seeing the awakened elder, everyone rejoiced.

Those who had just insulted Lin Chen were now looking at him in shock, their faces filled with gratitude and admiration.

"Young man, thank you for saving me. I'll fulfill any request you have, as long as it's within the Zuo family's power," Zuo Tian said, grabbing Lin Chen's hand with excitement.

Zuo Tian had just come back from the brink of death and knew if it weren't for Lin Chen, he would likely be dead by now. Lin Chen was his lifesaver and the savior of the Zuo family, so Zuo Tian had already decided, whatever Lin Chen asked for, he would do his utmost to provide.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "A doctor's heart should show benevolence. I didn't save you for a reward. Now that you're all right, I'll take my leave!"

With that, Lin Chen stood up, turned around, and was ready to leave.

The people of the Zuo family were stunned. Zuo Tian had just promised to fulfill any condition, even if Lin Chen had asked for a billion; yet, Lin Chen declined Zuo Tian's thanks.

"An expert, this young man must be a hermit expert!" the same thought nearly simultaneously sprang up in everyone's minds.
