Seeing Liu about to charge and grab Xiao Chen's collar, Director Li quietly uttered:
"Liu, back up."
"Huh?"
Liu was dumbfounded. Director Li's eyebrows raised.
"I told you to back off, are you deaf?"
"Oh, okay!"
Although Liu was confused, he didn't dare defy Director Liu's orders.
When Liu backed off, Director Li turned her gaze to Xiao Chen.
"What… did you just say?"
Xiao Chen calmly smiled, an unspoken confidence radiating through his gaze.
"Director Li, you heard me."
Director Li took a deep breath. Only her family knew of her infertility issues. She had always declared to her friends she didn't want children because she wanted to focus on her career, so those around her seldom knew of this fact.
But she wasn't scared by Xiao Chen's declaration either. It's possible, after all, that her family could have leaked the information.
"You researched me?"
Xiao Chen looked at director Li. With one glance, director Li felt exposed in front of Xiao Chen, as if she had nothing she could hide from him.
"You were injured at the age of eight and fell into ice water. The cold poison in your body has been accumulating for twenty years."
..
"When you were twelve, you hurt your ribs. Based on the degree of injury, it must have been caused by cycling."
...
"At fifteen, you and your boyfriend had your first time!"
...
"Stop talking!"
Director Li stared at Xiao Chen in disbelief, as if she'd seen a ghost.
Aside from the second fact, everything Xiao Chen had said was known by her, and no one else! Even her husband didn't know about them. Yet, Xiao Chen had said it all with deadly accuracy.
"You… What are you? How did you know this?"
Xiao Chen smiled casually.
"I told you, I know medicine."
"No way. Even if you're a doctor, you couldn't possibly be this powerful! This method is not one of a normal doctor at all. I don't believe it!"
Xiao Chen shrugged.
"I've already said that my medical skills are unparalleled in this world."
"Cheh~."
Director Li took a breath of cold air and looked Xiao Chen up and down carefully. Seeing his humble attitude and the indifference in his eyes, she couldn't help but be surprised despite all the knowledge she had.
"I didn't think I would run into a magical being today. I agree to admit your daughter. She can even attend for free! But if you are lying to me, I will kick your daughter out of this institution in an instant."
"No worries. I, Xiao Chen, promise that my words are worth their weight in gold!"
Afterward, Xiao Chen approached the table and picked up a pencil and paper. He scribbled a prescription down and handed it to director Li.
"Follow this prescription and buy the medication. I promise you in less than a month, you will have a miracle."
Director Li received the prescription and spoke solemnly.
"I'll take your daughter to process her application. I'll place her in a class first and deal with the paperwork for you later."
"Great!"
Director Li took Xiao Chen with her as she placed Xiao Ziyi in her class. Then, she hurriedly went and drove off in her red Audi A4. Even a fool knew where she was going.
Xiao Chen said goodbye to Xiao Ziyi and slowly left the school, prepared to wait outside by the door.
When security guard Liu saw him leaving, he jogged up to him and handed him a cigarette.
"Mr. Xiao, do you smoke?"
Xiao Chen shook his head lightly.
"Do you need something?"
The security guard smiled and began to speak sheepishly.
"Mr. Xiao, it's like this. Recently, I've had a loss of appetite, and my energy has been a bit depressed. Can you use your skills and take a look for me?"
Xiao Chen glanced at him and shook his head. He placed his hands behind his back and headed off.
Liu shivered. What did that mean?
He hurriedly caught up to him.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, please don't joke with me! Am I doomed?"
"Nope."
"Xiao Chen's gaze was indifferent.
"If you want to live longer, leave Ai Iijima!"*
*Translator Note: Ai Iijima is an AV actress from Japan. Here, Xiao Chen refers to pornography.
Security guard Liu felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, making his body shiver immediately.
"You… You actually guessed the name of my favorite AV star. You really are a godlike doctor!"
Xiao Chen didn't know Liu was a fan of Iijima, but he could see the guy was a bit too deeply immersed in adult 'martial arts' films and was unable to extricate himself. This would lead to a weakness in his yang energy. Since the only AV star he knew of was Iijima, naturally he used her name.
When he left the kindergarten, Xiao Chen planned to find a teahouse and wait there for his daughter to finish school. But he had just stepped out of the gates when a Mercedes-Benz S slowly pulled up in front of him.
The window rolled down. A middle-aged face appeared. From the features of his eyebrows, he looked somewhat similar to Su Ruoxue.
"You're Xiao Chen?"
"I am."
Xiao Chen calmly answered. The man grunted angrily, then immediately began.
"Come with me, I have some things to discuss with you."
Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent.
"You tell me to go, so I have to go?"
The middle-aged man huffed.
"It has to do with Su Ruoxue."
Xiao Chen's brows locked and entered the back seat.
The car pulled off, slowing down at a nearby coffee shop.
The two departed and sat down inside the cafe.
"You should be able to tell my status with your judgment."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Su Ruoxue's father?"
"That's right."
Mr. Su answered proudly. He then spoke again:
"Ruoxue is my most valued daughter! At the same time, she is also the only heir with potential. To the Su family, she is very important."
"What does that have to do with me?"
Xiao Chen's words caused Mr. Su to fume with anger.
"You don't know you've crossed a line?"
"What a joke. I am Ruoxue's father. What is crossing a line? I have enough qualifications to criticize anything I want about her."
Xiao Chen remained indifferent.
"And?"
"And!"
Mr.Su smiled coldly.
"I'll tell you blatantly. You and Ruoxue are not compatible. So please, leave my daughter alone! Stop wasting her youth!"
Xiao Chen slightly raised his eyelids and took a sip of his tea. Then he slowly spoke:
"We are just friends. You're overthinking it."
Mr. Su once again smiled coldly as he glared at Xiao Chen.
"What, you're reluctant to let go of a fair, rich beauty? I knew this matter couldn't be solved so easily. Thankfully, I came prepared."
As he spoke, he took out a bank card from his pocket. With a wave of his hand, he smacked the card on the table.
"There's one million dollars in this card. Leave my daughter, and it's all yours."
