Chapter 418: Miracle Doctor

"Lingyun, have you heard? A miracle doctor has appeared in Beijing recently!" Chen Jing said to Lingyun, lying on a giant teddy bear.

"A miracle doctor? Someone who can be called a miracle doctor must be extraordinary!" Lingyun said, looking at Chen Jing.

After resolving the matter of her mother's ashes, Chen Jing's personality had become much more cheerful, and she seemed to have opened up a lot more in front of Lingyun; it was unknown what exactly Chen Jing and her mother had said in her room at that time.

"That's right, this miracle doctor truly has unusual skills. You must have heard of Old Liu, right? A few days ago, he was terminally ill and almost beyond medical help. But his luck was quite good; he actually ran into a miracle doctor who appeared out of nowhere and pulled him back from the gates of hell." Chen Jing's tone carried a hint of inexplicable wonder.

"Listening to you, it seems you are very surprised that this Old Liu could be saved?" Lingyun asked.

"Of course, someone who had been issued a death notice was actually pulled back from the gates of hell, and he's even been able to jump around during this time; it really surprises me!" Chen Jing's tone still held a trace of disbelief.

"This doesn't seem that hard to understand; after all, there are countless extraordinary people hidden in this world. Now that the world is undergoing great changes, perhaps more and more such people will appear," Lingyun said. "Compared to Earth, this period is a great era. In a great era, heaven-gifted geniuses emerge like crucian carp crossing a river; it's not particularly unimaginable for a young expert to pop up at any time."

"About that, Lingyun, do you want to go with me to see this miracle doctor?" Chen Jing asked.

"Judging by your tone, you know this miracle doctor?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know her, but tomorrow is Liu Laoyezi's birthday banquet, and I received an invitation from Liu. I think with Liu Laoyezi's personality, he will definitely introduce that miracle doctor to others at his banquet, and then we'll be able to see that miracle doctor!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Being able to make you so attentive means that the so-called miracle doctor must have something incredible about her!" Lingyun said.

"Of course, the most important point is that the miracle doctor is actually a woman, and a very young girl at that!" Chen Jing said. "For a girl to be able to reach this point, I naturally have great interest in her."

"A woman?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. "It seems this woman is not an ordinary person either. I'll go see her then, to see what kind of background this so-called miracle doctor has!"

After settling the matter of going to Liu Laoyezi's birthday banquet, Lingyun suddenly asked, "Jingjing, has the Chen Family made any moves during this time?"

Hearing Lingyun mention the Chen Family, the corners of Chen Jing's mouth suddenly curled into a cold sneer: "Moves? How could they not have moves? The entire Chen Family has been in a state of panic and unable to attend to themselves during this time!"

"Oh? What happened to their family?" Lingyun asked.

"First, my so-called third uncle, in order to line his own pockets, unauthorizedly diverted project funds for private use and simultaneously purchased a large batch of cheap, inferior building materials to pass off as quality ones. As a result, when the project was delivered, it ran into a safety inspection and he was caught red-handed," Chen Jing said, shrugging her shoulders. "With the end of the year approaching, such a serious safety hazard appearing naturally attracted high attention from the relevant departments, who ordered a strict investigation."

"And then, pulling out the radish brought out the mud, right?" Lingyun said.

"Exactly. After the people above investigated, they discovered that there was actually a deep-seated chain of interests involved, so everyone on this chain suffered! And among them, quite a few Chen family members are involved!" Chen Jing said. "Now the entire Chen Family has no one who can step up to take charge; it's all in a complete mess!"

"With such a big thing happening, didn't anyone in the Chen Family suspect that something went wrong with the Underground Palace?"

"Of course they did. On the first day the incident happened, they came looking for me, but I drove them away without any courtesy," Chen Jing said, the corners of her mouth curling into a cold sneer. "I have a big shot like you behind me; with the Chen Family's personality, after losing their backing, they don't dare to act arrogant in front of me at all!"

"Then what about that old man in your family?" Lingyun asked. "I remember his strength should be close to the Golden Core realm; did he not make a move against you?"

"Didn't make a move against me? How is that possible? He certainly did, but I forced him back directly," Chen Jing said. "After he saw my strength, he turned around and left without a word; he left quite decisively!"

"That counts as him having self-awareness; after all, with your strength, knocking him down would only be a bit of effort," Lingyun said. "Does he know that I was the one who destroyed the Underground Palace?"

"An old man is like a fox; no matter what, he has lived for decades, so he still has some ability in this regard," Chen Jing said. "Especially the fact that you were able to destroy the Underground Palace—that alone is enough to make him terrified."

In a picturesque Villa.

Ling Shuang stood in front of a large tree, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Junior sister, what are you thinking about?" A man appeared behind Ling Shuang.

"Senior brother, you're here. I've seen you leaving early and returning late during this time; is there something going on?" Ling Shuang turned around to look at Qiu Yu.

"I've had some things to busy myself with lately, junior sister!" Qiu Yu said with a grin.

Qiu Yu's true identity was the eldest son of the Qiu Family. He had fallen gravely ill years ago, and if his master hadn't passed by the Qiu Family, he likely would have died young. This time, when Ling Shuang and he came down the mountain, Qiu Yu brought her to the Qiu Family to find a place to rest. It was precisely because Ling Shuang came to the Qiu Family that she had the opportunity to help treat Liu Laoyezi, as the old man of the Qiu Family was once a security guard under Liu Laoyezi.

"Are you going to Liu Laoyezi's birthday banquet tomorrow?" Qiu Yu asked.

"I am. My intuition tells me that I will meet someone very important to me tomorrow!" Ling Shuang said.

"Someone very important to you?" Qiu Yu gave a light exclamation. Given Ling Shuang's personality, she was not someone who would say such things easily, but since she had said it now, it meant that an interesting person would definitely appear at tomorrow's banquet.

"Good, then you can't leave me out!" Qiu Yu said, patting his chest. "I also want to see what kind of person this someone important to you is."

"I think your real purpose, senior brother, isn't the person I mentioned, but that young lady from Liu, right?" Ling Shuang said.

"Th-this..." Hearing Ling Shuang say this, Qiu Yu's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Alright, I won't tease you, but senior brother, I must remind you: that young lady from Liu is not a simple character; it won't be that easy to be with her," Ling Shuang warned.

"Is there something different about her?" Qiu Yu asked, somewhat confused.

"Of course there is. Although others haven't noticed, I can perceive that that young lady's strength is likely not below mine!" Ling Shuang said.

"She actually has such strength?" Qiu Yu's expression couldn't help but turn solemn. In the secular world, for a girl to possess such formidable strength, her identity was open to question.

"So, senior brother, you have to work hard!" Ling Shuang said to Qiu Yu with a smile. "I can tell that that young lady likes you too, but you have to overcome the difficulties involved yourself."
