Gong Liangbu, of course, knew just how formidable Chen Qingdi was.
"Of course. Mr. Chen is destined to become the most famous figure, the strongest expert, the ultimate overlord in all of Jingxi," Gong Liangbu said with a smile.
Gong Liangbu was genuinely thrilled to be able to follow a master like him.
If it hadn’t been for the Wu Family affair, where he had met Chen Qingdi, he might have already been killed by Luo Yidao.
Although Leng Rushan was shocked, he quickly recovered. His gaze sharpened as he stared at Chen Qingdi.
"Did someone send you to cause trouble for the Luo Family?" Leng Rushan demanded, staring at Chen Qingdi.
"No one can give me orders."
"I’m truly here to save Elder Luo."
"The aura of death around your Luo Family is growing stronger."
"I had no other choice," Chen Qingdi said.
"I’ve already told you, President Luo isn’t seeing anyone today. How many more times do I have to say it?"
Leng Rushan continued to block Chen Qingdi’s path.
"No one can stop me. If you don’t get out of my way, I won’t be so courteous," Chen Qingdi said coolly.
But Leng Rushan showed no sign of moving.
In that case, Chen Qingdi dispensed with the pleasantries. With another casual wave of his hand, he sent Leng Rushan flying.
Leng Rushan collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a moment.
"Let’s go. We’re going in," Chen Qingdi said.
With that, Chen Qingdi waved to Gong Liangbu and Mu Xinlei, who were standing not far behind him.
The two men hurried to follow, walking in after Chen Qingdi.
From a distance, Boss Mo and Boss Ling watched the scene unfold, utterly astonished.
"Okay, we should get going."
"Let’s not let the Luo Family see us. It’ll be impossible to explain ourselves if they do."
"We’ll be finished if they think we put Mu Xinlei up to this," Boss Mo said.
"Right, right, let’s get out of here," Boss Ling added.
With that, they got in their car and sped away.
Just as Chen Qingdi and his companions stepped inside, a man emerged from the main hall.
"What’s with all the commotion? What’s going on here?"
A middle-aged man in his forties strode over, a look of extreme displeasure on his face.
"They insisted on forcing their way in."
"They said something about saving Elder Luo."
"This kid is the one leading them," Leng Rushan said, pointing at Chen Qingdi.
This middle-aged man in his forties was none other than the current head of the Luo Family, Luo Longsheng.
Luo Longsheng stared coldly at Chen Qingdi, his eyes then flicking to Mu Xinlei and Gong Liangbu at his side.
"Well, look who it is. President Mu and Gong Wuyi are here too."
"It’s certainly a lively day," Luo Longsheng said, his displeasure evident.
"We’ve come because we genuinely want to save Elder Luo."
"I heard Elder Luo is gravely ill, so I brought Mr. Chen. His medical skills are extraordinary," Gong Liangbu said hurriedly.
"You’re certainly well-informed."
"You found out my father was sick awfully fast."
"And you brought this whole entourage with you."
"What do you think you’re doing? My family’s affairs are none of your concern," Luo Longsheng said, his face dark with displeasure.
Seeing how displeased Luo Longsheng was, anyone else would have probably left by now.
But Chen Qingdi remained perfectly calm.
He showed no sign of leaving.
"What now? Do you expect me to invite you to stay for dinner?"
"I don’t want to see anyone right now. Get out."
Luo Longsheng gestured sharply toward the door.
Mu Xinlei looked conflicted.
"Luo, we’re truly here with the best of intentions."
"Please, trust Mr. Chen. He can definitely cure Elder Luo," Mu Xinlei pleaded.
"President Mu, while our families may have a long-standing relationship, I’d appreciate it if you stayed out of my family’s business."
"Do I need *him* to take a look? Do you think the Luo Family can’t afford to hire a famous doctor?"
"Don’t forget we have a contract between us. If you no longer want it, if you want to end our partnership, then just say the word."
Luo Longsheng was furious.
Seeing Luo Longsheng’s fury, Mu Xinlei was at a loss for words. ’Do we really have to leave?’ he wondered.
’And since Luo Longsheng is this angry, it looks like our partnership is off the table.’
The thought gave Mu Xinlei a headache.
"I will say one last thing. If President Luo still wants to throw us out after hearing it, then it simply wasn’t meant to be, and I will leave at once," Chen Qingdi said.
"Speak."
Luo Longsheng looked impatiently at Chen Qingdi. He would see what this man had to say.
"The Luo Family has been plagued by misfortune lately. And you yourself have been injured."
"Your wife has been unable to conceive. You’re also ill—you feel a sharp pain in your sternum whenever you take even a shallow breath."
"Am I correct? To be blunt, your family has been cursed with an Evil Sacrificial Talisman."
"That is why nothing has been going right for the Luo Family," Chen Qingdi stated.
"If a single word I’ve said is wrong, I will accept any punishment," Chen Qingdi added.
After he finished speaking, Chen Qingdi stared intently into Luo Longsheng’s eyes for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively.
"We’re leaving."
With that, Chen Qingdi turned to leave.
Gong Liangbu and Mu Xinlei prepared to follow.
But just then, Luo Longsheng spoke slowly, "Wait."
This was precisely the reaction Chen Qingdi wanted.
"Yes?"
Chen Qingdi turned to look at Luo Longsheng.
"Please, come inside and talk."
Luo Longsheng’s attitude was now much improved.
"It would have been much better if you’d had this attitude from the start."
"It’s not like I’m here to harm your family," Chen Qingdi remarked.
"Let’s discuss it in the living room."
"What you said was all rather cryptic. I don’t quite understand."
With that, Luo Longsheng strode toward the living room.
Soon, they all arrived in the living room.
Luo Longsheng dismissed all non-essential staff.
"Now we can talk properly."
"What you said about our family... it’s true. The Luo Family has indeed been through a lot lately."
As he spoke, Luo Longsheng shook his head helplessly. His helplessness and worry were plain to see.
"How did you know I was injured? That my wife can’t conceive? And how could you possibly know about the pain in my chest when I breathe?"
"And what is this Evil Sacrificial Talisman you spoke of?"
"The Luo Family has always been on good terms with everyone. I can’t imagine who would do something like this to us."
As Luo Longsheng spoke, his face suddenly looked far more haggard than before.
The living room was quiet.
But Luo Longsheng now seemed uneasy, his eyes darting around the room.
Chen Qingdi, in contrast, was perfectly still.
"Rest assured. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to the Luo Family. I guarantee it," Chen Qingdi said, brimming with confidence.
