As the handcuffs were placed on Zhou Chonghu's wrists, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue. The vice president, who had abused his power and acted so arrogantly, was finally getting the punishment he deserved!
"Take him away!"
With the Medical Immortal's command, Zhou Chonghu was taken into a police car, destined for prison.
Zhou Yahu was completely stunned.
His mind was a blank. He and his brother had come to deal with Lu Ming and suppress Qiao Ling, but in the end, Lu Ming and Qiao Ling were fine, while his brother was "gone"!
Who could have predicted this?
Lu Ming silently walked to Zhou Yahu's side and said softly, "Old classmate, it's time to pull back from the brink. You've made so many mistakes, you should know you're wrong by now, right?"
Zhou Yahu lowered his head in shame. Victory and defeat were clear, and he had nothing to say.
Across the street.
Inside a car parked by the roadside.
Catherine, an elite from the Western Medicine organization, sat in the driver's seat, quietly observing everything.
According to the original plan, it should have been her who cured Zhou Yahu at this point, boosting the reputation of Western medicine and destroying Lu Ming's title as a renowned Chinese physician.
Unfortunately, man proposes, and heaven disposes.
The fake death pill was deciphered by Lu Ming.
Zhou Chonghu's abuse of power was exposed by the Medical Immortal.
Catherine shook her head repeatedly and muttered to herself, "Zhou Chonghu, Zhou Yahu, a pair of useless trash brothers. They almost dragged me down with them. These two are unreliable. It seems that to eradicate Chinese medicine and eliminate the renowned Chinese physician, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
She stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
The sinister plan against Chinese medicine was still ongoing.
Meanwhile.
After the Medical Immortal took Zhou Chonghu away, Qiao Ling and the others immediately surrounded Lu Ming, bombarding him with questions.
They were all very curious about Lu Ming's relationship with the Medical Immortal.
Lu Ming, however, casually replied, "The Medical Immortal and I are friends."
Friends?
A friend could make someone come over with just one phone call?
The crowd didn't believe it.
In Qiao Ling's eyes, Lu Ming definitely harbored great secrets that he was deliberately hiding.
However, this only made Lu Ming appear even more charming.
...
After settling matters at the Ren Zhi Pharmacy, Lu Ming returned to the Jiang Corporation's office building.
He had been busy with the Chinese Medicine Association these past few days and had neglected the Jiang family's affairs. Fortunately, Yuan Chengji and Jiang Anzhi had been relatively well-behaved recently and hadn't done anything outrageous.
As soon as Lu Ming returned, Jiang Mengxin called him to her office.
Jiang Mengxin stared at him for more than ten seconds before saying dejectedly, "Lu Ming, I've noticed you're very busy. As a security captain, you don't patrol daily and are nowhere to be seen. What have you been busy with all this time?"
Lu Ming truthfully replied, "I've been a bit busy lately, dealing with matters related to Chinese and Western medicine."
Huh?
Jiang Mengxin sneered, "Chinese and Western medicine? What kind of nonsense are you spouting now? Do you think you're the renowned Chinese physician?"
To her surprise, Lu Ming nodded affirmatively.
He said, "Yes, I am the renowned Chinese physician. I don't know why, but people have been calling me that recently."
Jiang Mengxin rolled her eyes.
She was speechless, "Lu Ming, you're truly something. Give you an inch, and you'll take a mile. You, a renowned Chinese physician? You're not even fit to carry the chamber pot for the real renowned Chinese physician!"
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
No matter what Lu Ming said, Jiang Mengxin wouldn't believe him.
So Lu Ming asked, "Do you have anything else you need me for?"
"Yes!" Jiang Mengxin said irritably, "After you take a shower and change into clean, presentable clothes, accompany me to an event."
"What event?"
"A charity auction."
"What?"
Jiang Mengxin explained, "Last week, a fire broke out in the mountainous regions of southern China. The fire was very severe, causing many innocent people to lose their homes. Jinling is organizing a charity auction to raise funds to donate to the victims of the fire."
So that's how it is.
Lu Ming nodded, "That's a good deed."
"It's not just a good deed," Jiang Mengxin continued. "This time, it's also a competition of financial strength! All the top-ranking enterprises in Jinling will participate and showcase their prowess at the auction! Whoever performs well will have the right to speak loudly in Jinling thereafter."
Uh...
Lu Ming shook his head.
These entrepreneurs were truly bored, not letting go of any opportunity to compete in strength.
Even for a charity auction.
But, it was actually good this way.
Where there was competition, there would be inflated bids, and more money would be donated to the disaster areas.
Lu Ming said, "I'll go change and get ready. See you tonight."
...
Time flew by. At eight o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Mengxin drove Lu Ming and Jiang Lan to Jinling's top five-star hotel to attend the charity auction.
At the same time, their uncle, Jiang Anzhi, also attended with his son, Jiang Yang.
Apart from the Jiang family, all the major "powerful" forces in Jinling were present.
The Yuan family, the Shen family, the Qiao family, the Chen family, and others – all the top enterprises in Jinling were there. Among them, the Murong family attracted the most attention.
Murong Shuang, the Three-Star Warlord, was a focal point wherever she went!
The car stopped.
Jiang Mengxin, Lu Ming, and Jiang Lan walked together, side-by-side, on the long red carpet.
Jiang Mengxin wore a vibrant red gown, looking elegant and noble, while Jiang Lan wore a white off-the-shoulder long dress, exuding elegance and youthful vitality.
The appearance of these two sisters immediately captured the attention of all the men present.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what beautiful sisters," the young master of the Shen family, Shen Yushu, was practically drooling.
He stared at Jiang Mengxin's long legs, then at Jiang Lan's delicate figure.
Shen Yushu couldn't help but sigh, "The Jiang sisters are truly one in a million, perfect existences. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a 'double fly' experience with these two sisters?"
A subordinate beside him chuckled lewdly, "Young master, is there any woman you can't have if you want? Old Master Jiang is dead, and the current Jiang family is a disorganized mob. Without their backing, they're nothing! Young master, our Shen family can completely surpass the Jiang family! If you wish, there will be plenty of opportunities to win over these two sisters."
Shen Yushu smiled contentedly upon hearing this.
As he was smiling.
He saw an eyesore of a man walking with the Jiang sisters, naturally, it was Lu Ming.
Shen Yushu's eyes turned fierce, "Who is this bastard? Is he a servant of the Jiang sisters? Walking with his masters, what kind of etiquette is this?"
The subordinate said, "Young master, you don't even recognize him? This is Lu Ming, Jiang Mengxin's fiancé, the famous grave keeper of Jinling!"
"Oh? He's that grave keeper?" Shen Yushu burst into laughter.
Suddenly, Lu Ming turned his head, his gaze shooting towards Shen Yushu like lightning. Just a glance, and Shen Yushu was so intimidated by Lu Ming's powerful aura that he stumbled back three steps.
Hoo—
What a terrifying man.
Those eyes were definitely not ordinary!
However, Shen Yushu quickly calmed down and felt ashamed of his previous actions.
He, actually being scared back by a grave keeper?
"Bastard!" Shen Yushu stomped his foot fiercely and said, "Lu Ming, I swear I'll kill you! And the Jiang sisters, I must have them!"
