Chapter 16: Snatching Someone's Wealth Path, Like Killing One's Parents

Wang Yunan's personality was clearly very lively and carefree as she gratefully said, "My grandfather has been constantly muttering to me these past few days, saying I must thank you properly; if it weren't for you, this time he might have…"

Before she could finish, Wang Yunan felt it was inauspicious and quickly waved her hand, "In any case, thank you so much! I never expected to meet you here!"

Jiang Feng looked at her demeanor, smiled and nodded, "Miss Wang, you're being modest; healing and saving lives is part of my duties, no need to take it to heart."

The Shopkeeper Liu, who earlier had a pale face, now understood Jiang Feng's identity.

His back instantly curved a few more degrees, a flattering smile piled on his face as he leaned over rubbing his hands, "So you're the Divine Doctor who healed the Family Head of the Wang Family! I was blind before, failing to recognize Mount Tai, I have offended you greatly; please don't take it to heart!"

He didn't know what made a Divine Doctor divine or not.

But to make the Wang Family's young lady so grateful, such a person is certainly not someone a small shop owner like him could offend.

Wang Yunan's gaze unintentionally swept over Jiang Feng's face.

He was indeed plainly dressed, but his eyebrows and eyes were clear and fresh; when he smiled, the corners of his eyes gently curved, making people feel their hearts brightened.

She suddenly felt a bit flustered, her ears quietly heated up, and quickly lowered her head to pinch her skirt hem.

It turned out her grandfather hadn't lied. This Divine Doctor Jiang was indeed more pleasing to the eye than those suit‑and‑tie, slick‑tongued rich second‑generation heirs.

She instinctively tugged Jiang Feng's sleeve, acting very lively: "Divine Doctor Jiang, your insight is so sharp; you spotted the stone sculpture was false at a glance. Could you do me a favor? I want to pick a gift with a good meaning for my grandfather; could you help me choose one?"

Shopkeeper Liu quickly echoed, "Yes, yes! Divine Doctor Jiang, please have a look! Our shop has plenty of fine items—jade pieces, calligraphy and paintings. Whatever you like, I'll give you and Miss Wang cost price!"

But Jiang Feng didn't take the gift talk; his gaze fell directly on Shopkeeper Liu.

"Shopkeeper Liu, let's not rush to look at gifts. I still want to ask you, where exactly did Nan Gong Wan go? As far as I know, this house belongs to Nan Gong Wan, right?"

The smile on Shopkeeper Liu's face froze, his eyes began to dart away, and he stammered, "Divine Doctor Jiang, I truly don't know! I acquired this house ten years ago from someone else; I don't know any Nan Gong Wan…"

"You don't know?"

Jiang Feng let out a cold smile, his gaze fixed on Shopkeeper Liu's eyes.

"Just now when I mentioned Nan Gong Wan's name, you reacted more than anyone, and now you say you don't know? Do you think we'd believe you?"

Shopkeeper Liu was left speechless by the question, sweat beading on his forehead.

Wang Yunan now also sensed something was off, immediately furrowing her brows, "Shopkeeper Liu, Divine Doctor Jiang asked you a question, and you still dare to fool us? Do you believe I will have people tear down the sign of your Ju Bao Ge right now, so you can never open a shop again on Jiangcheng Old Street!"

The words made Shopkeeper Liu jump with a thud, almost kneeling; this time he was truly panicked.

He knew the Wang Family's faction in Jiangcheng better than anyone; when Wang Yunan said she'd tear down his sign, it was definitely not a bluff!

He quickly waved his hands, his face paling, "No, no, no! Miss Wang, spare me! I tell you! I keep saying!"

Shopkeeper Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed with a bitter face, "Actually… this house was indeed owned by Miss Nan Gong Wan before."

"About ten years ago, she suddenly came to me, saying she urgently needed money and wanted to mortgage this house to me, and said if I could gather fifty thousand, the house would be mine. I thought the location was good, so I agreed, gave her fifty thousand; she took the money and left, and I never saw her again. I truly don't know where she went!"

"Then why didn't you say that just now when I asked?"

Wang Yunan said angrily, feeling that the Shopkeeper hadn't told the truth.

The Shopkeeper's face was full of distress, "Miss Wang, this house ten years ago cost more than fifty thousand. I took a huge advantage from Miss Nan Gong Wan, fearing Divine Doctor Jiang might come looking for trouble, so I tried to hide it. I truly realize my mistake."

With those words, Jiang Feng saw that Shopkeeper Liu was no longer lying.

Only the thought that Nan Gong Wan sold the property alone and is now missing made Jiang Feng's mood far from pleasant.

After all, she was the Master's only living descendant.

If he couldn't properly look after her, Jiang Feng also deeply felt he had failed the Master.

Wang Yunan, seeing Jiang Feng's poor expression and knowing he worried about Nan Gong Wan, immediately patted his chest.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, don't worry! The matter of finding Miss Nan Gong Wan is on me! With the Wang Family's connections, whether she's in Jiangcheng or elsewhere, I can investigate and find her for you!"

Jiang Feng hadn't expected Wang Yunan to be so straightforward; his heart warmed, and he quickly thanked, "That truly is a great trouble, Miss Wang."

"What's with the politeness!"

Wang Yunan smiled, waved her hand, and immediately thought of something; her eyes, stark black and white, were full of mirth.

She pointed at the shop's shelves, "By the way, Divine Doctor Jiang, since you want to thank me, could you now help me pick a gift?"

Jiang Feng only then glanced over the shop's items, from porcelain to calligraphy, and after a round, shook his head.

"There's truly nothing worth buying here. That stone sculpture was false; these jade pieces look shiny but are actually ordinary material, and most of the calligraphy are reproductions, unsuitable as gifts for Old Master Wang."

"What? They're all false?"

Wang Yunan widened her eyes, turning her head to stare at Shopkeeper Liu,

"Fine, you swindler! Does your shop even have any real items? How dare you sell so many fakes!"

Shopkeeper Liu, frightened, shrank his neck, daring not to speak a word, only bowing his head to endure the scolding.

Jiang Feng, seeing Wang Yunan's angry expression, also smiled.

"Antiques are basically like that, but this street has many shops; with care you can still find good items. How about this, Miss Wang, I'll take you to look at other places."

Hearing that, Wang Yunan instantly turned her anger into joy, "Really? That's great! Let's go right now!"

After speaking, the two turned and walked toward the entrance.

Shopkeeper Liu wanted to see them off but dared not approach, so he stood still watching their backs disappear beyond the doorway curtain.

Waiting until Jiang Feng and Wang Yunan completely vanished, Shopkeeper Liu's face instantly turned grim.

Damn, business is hard enough these days.

This guy named Jiang Feng, once he opened his mouth, even drove away a big client like Wang Yunan.

Snatching someone's wealth path, like killing one's parents.

With that attitude, how could he swallow it?

Wang Yunan can't afford to offend him, but a doctor? He could teach him a lesson in minutes!

He clenched his teeth, fished a phone out from under the counter, and dialed a number at lightning speed.

"Hello, Huzi? Help me find a few people, waiting at the Old Street Entrance, I've got business for you!"

After hanging up, Shopkeeper Liu slammed the phone onto the counter, fists clenched, his gaze darkening.

"Dare ruin my business, Jiang Feng, this time I'll make you eat your words and leave!"
