The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Chen Erbao's words sent a chill down Zhao Feng's spine.

"Divine Doctor Chen, are you saying that if someone tries to poison me again, I'll likely be a victim again?"

"If the poisoner doesn't give up, Uncle Zhao, you'll definitely be targeted again. And if they're someone who can control Spirit Poison, you might not last until I get here to treat you next time..."

Zhao Feng's brow furrowed, and a deep-seated fear began to take hold.

No one wants to die.

Even as a multi-billionaire, he was still fragile and powerless in the face of death.

And Chen Erbao wasn't just trying to scare him.

While treating him earlier, Chen Erbao had discovered that the Spiritual Qi used was of exceptionally high purity. 'If the poisoner merely stumbled upon a Spirit-Containing Object by chance, that would be one thing,' he thought. 'At the very least, they wouldn't understand the principles behind it.'

'But what I'm afraid of is that the culprit is also a Cultivator who can manipulate Spiritual Qi.'

'If they really are a Cultivator, they're probably far stronger than I am!'

'That was just a remnant of their Spiritual Qi, yet its purity was alarming. If that person showed up in the flesh, they could probably finish me off with a wave of their hand.'

'But that's unlikely.'

'If they really had that kind of power, why bother with poison? They could kill Zhao Feng directly, and no one would be the wiser.'

'The weak resort to poison; the strong strike directly!'

Zhao Feng's mind was in turmoil. As an ordinary person, he had never encountered anything so bizarre.

'Is this about business competition?'

He speculated silently but quickly dismissed the idea.

In the past, business rivalries involved crude, simple tactics, like hiring the competitor's cleaning lady to unplug the company's internet cables, or bribing a janitor to pour boiling water on the boss's office money tree.

'Who the hell resorts to straight-up poisoning, and with an undetectable toxin at that?'

'If someone really has that kind of power, who could possibly compete with them?'

After ruling out business rivals, that only left the people closest to him.

His relationship with Han Yi was wonderful. They had been together for decades, through thick and thin.

'Of his two daughters, one was a fool and the other was just naive and cheerful. It couldn't be them.'

'That only leaves...'

Zhao Feng's head snapped up, his eyes locking onto Chen Erbao.

Chen Erbao clicked his tongue a couple of times.

"It seems Uncle Zhao has a suspect in mind... When I was treating you, Mr. Song seemed quite agitated. You should be more careful from now on, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Feng's expression darkened, and his voice turned icy.

"I have been more than generous to him. Last year, when the Song Family fell into ruin, his branch of the family would have never made it out of the Capital City alive if I hadn't stepped in. Why would he do this now...?"

Chen Erbao comforted him.

"Perhaps it was a moment of weakness, blinded by greed..."

"It's true that I haven't wanted him involved in my company all these years. I suppose he resents me for it, but he just doesn't have the right temperament..."

This was Zhao Feng's family business, and it wasn't Chen Erbao's place to interfere.

"Divine Doctor Chen, there's no evidence right now, and he is my son-in-law. I can't just... Besides, is he really the only one plotting behind the scenes?"

If it were anyone else, Zhao Feng would have already made a call and had them sleeping with the fishes by tonight.

But Song Rui and Zhao Qi were deeply in love, after all. He could disregard the bond between father- and son-in-law, but he had to consider the love between father and daughter.

Besides, he felt that Song Rui didn't have the brains or the cunning to pull something like this off.

Chen Erbao thought so too.

The fact that Song Rui could poison his own father-in-law proved he was ruthless.

But while he had ruthlessness to spare, he lacked the necessary cunning.

'I just had to scare him a little, and he nearly gave himself away. With that kind of composure, he wouldn't even make a decent villain!'

That's why Chen Erbao also believed there was someone else pulling the strings.

"Uncle Zhao, there's definitely someone else behind this plot. But I don't think you should make any rash moves right now. For the time being, limit your contact with him to avoid being poisoned again... Have the couple go home tomorrow. You can investigate in secret and find out who really holds a grudge against you. Then, when you decide to act, you must be decisive and eliminate the threat completely!"

Chen Erbao said, offering his strategy after a moment of thought.

Zhao Feng gave Chen Erbao an appreciative look and sighed.

"My younger brother and I always wanted sons. But I ended up with two daughters, and he had a daughter too. The entire Zhao Family doesn't have a single son... If the Zhao Family had an heir like you, my brother and I could finally rest easy!"

Chen Erbao felt the remark was a bit odd, and said humbly,

"Uncle Zhao, you're still young. You can always have another child!"

"Hahaha! At my age? Like hell I can have another kid!"

Zhao Feng's mood lightened, and he said with a laugh.

But Chen Erbao's expression was completely serious.

"As long as you're physically healthy, I can write you a prescription that guarantees you'll have a son!"

Zhao Feng thought Chen Erbao was joking, but when he met Chen Erbao's earnest gaze, his smile gradually faded and he sat up straight.

"Are... are you serious?"

His voice trembled slightly, his expression growing excited.

Chen Erbao nodded and said with the utmost seriousness,

"As long as you're physically healthy, I can make sure you have a son! There are some risks to having children in your forties or fifties, but with how advanced modern medicine is—and you certainly aren't short on money—that's not an issue!"

Zhao Feng could no longer remain calm. He grabbed Chen Erbao's hands, so moved he was on the verge of tears.

"Divine Doctor Chen, you... you're really not lying to me?"

"I cured you of that incredibly rare and potent poison, didn't I? Compared to that, this is nothing. As long as you're in good health, it's absolutely possible. I guarantee it!"

Chen Erbao wasn't just blowing smoke.

The Joyful Technique recorded plenty of methods for this. As long as the body was healthy, it would even work for someone in their sixties!

The risk for a sixty-year-old mother was just a bit high, that's all.

But Han Yi was still young, only in her forties!

Zhao Feng's face was flushed with excitement.

"My health is fine, absolutely fine! Xiang'Er and Xiaoxi are proof of that... The heavens are smiling upon me! I'm finally going to have a son!"

He was so flustered he didn't know what to do. He stood up and paced in a few circles before finally grabbing his phone to call his younger brother.

"Hey, Xiaoyue! I'm going to have a son!"

"What? Big Brother, what are you talking about? Are you drunk?"

"I'm really going to have a son! The Zhao Family will have an heir!"

"..."

...

After hanging up, Zhao Feng took a step forward and grasped Chen Erbao's hands.

"Divine Doctor Chen, as long as you can help me have a son, I'll give you ten billion... no, thirty billion, as a thank you!"

'Holy shit!'

Chen Erbao exclaimed inwardly. 'Maybe I shouldn't be in business at all. I should just make a living treating patients or writing prescriptions for rich tycoons who want children!'

'Thirty billion... I wonder how long it would take my cosmetics company to make that much...'

'Oh, wait. With Zhao Feng's help, probably not long at all...'

"Uncle Zhao, please, don't say that. It's a small matter, all I have to do is write a prescription. How could I possibly take your money? If Ruoying found out, she'd kill me!"

Zhao Feng waved his hand dismissively.

"If she gives you any trouble, you just tell me, and I'll deal with her!"

Chen Erbao wasted no more time. He grabbed a pen and paper from the table and began writing with a furious SCRIBBLE.

In just a moment, the prescription was finished.

He handed the prescription to Zhao Feng.

"Uncle Zhao, just have this prescription filled, and make sure to use the highest quality herbs. Once you have them, I'll help you prepare the mixture. I'm sure you'll have a son. You'll hit the jackpot in one or two tries!"

As if he had just been handed a priceless treasure, Zhao Feng clutched the prescription and hurried out the door.

"Divine Doctor Chen, please wait here and have some tea. I need to step out for a moment!"
