"Stop the nonsense! Apologize to the lady at once!"
"If Miss Qiu doesn't forgive you today, you can get out of the Liu family!"
"I, Liu Guozhu, will pretend I never had a grandson like you!"
Liu Guozhu was utterly furious at this point.
How foolish was his grandson? Couldn't he see he was trying to curry favor with Lin Chen!
And at this very moment, he dared to expose him, he was as stupid as a pig!
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Ying, I'm sorry. All of this is my fault. I was blinded by greed. Please don't hold it against me!"
Although he felt wronged, Young Master Liu could only admit his mistake and apologize at this moment.
"Enough, enough, get out of here quickly, and don't let me see you again!"
After Young Master Liu apologized, Liu Guozhu immediately drove him away, afraid that this scoundrel would cause more trouble for him.
"Miss Qiu, I apologize. It's my fault for not raising him properly. Please rest in the guest room for now. After I've finished talking with Mr. Lin, I will personally come to apologize!"
After driving away Young Master Liu, Old Master Liu had a humble demeanor and bowed to Qiu Hanying.
His expression was as sincere as it could be.
"Old Master, you are too kind. Since it was all a misunderstanding, there's no need to apologize."
"I have matters to attend to at my company, so I won't stay long."
Hearing that even the esteemed Old Master Liu had personally apologized, Qiu Hanying naturally knew when to accept the gesture. After some polite exchanges, she, along with Qiu Mingfei and Qiu Tianhong, left the Liu family villa.
After Qiu Hanying left, Old Master Liu eagerly approached Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, do you have a way to completely eradicate this Gu poison for me now?"
Liu Guozhu asked Lin Chen with great anticipation.
Heaven was his witness, this strange illness had plagued him for thirty years!
Although drinking the wine steeped with that stinky bug could provide some relief, the smell was simply unbearable.
"Hehehe, Old Master, this illness is easy to treat if you say it's easy, and difficult to treat if you say it's difficult."
Seeing Liu Guozhu's eagerness, Lin Chen instead chose to be evasive.
He had a general understanding of Liu Guozhu's character now. If he cured the illness immediately, it might arouse suspicion.
At this point, he could only stall.
After all, from Old Master Liu's words and actions, Lin Chen didn't think he was a good person.
The most important thing now was to gain the trust of Director Zhou!
Otherwise, the injustice suffered by his master would remain unresolved for who knows how long!
"Mr. Lin, please speak freely. Whatever you need, I, Liu Guozhu, will find a way to get it!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Liu Guozhu immediately expressed his commitment.
"Alright, Old Master Liu. It's like this. Regarding this Gu poison, I only know the principle behind it."
"This Blood Gu is refined from the vital essence and blood of someone who has suffered injustice. To break this Gu poison, you need to find the five smelliest animals, steep their scent glands in wine, and drink it."
"Then, you will need to use my ancestral massage technique for about half a month, and this Gu poison can naturally be removed."
Lin Chen appeared to be honest and forthright as he revealed the treatment method to Liu Guozhu.
"Good, Mr. Lin, I will have someone prepare it at once!"
Upon learning the treatment method, Liu Guozhu did not dare to delay and immediately went to make arrangements.
After Liu Guozhu left, Director Zhou, who had been sitting on the sofa without a word, slowly got up with a smile.
"Lin Chen, since you can cure this Blood Gu, I wonder if there is another ailment you can cure?"
Director Zhou asked with a half-smile, his eyes flashing with a different kind of light.
Seeing Director Zhou's demeanor, Lin Chen felt a shiver.
He knew the test had begun!
"Oh? Director, what kind of illness is it? Please tell me. If I know, I will certainly not hide it!"
Lin Chen replied to Director Zhou with an unchanged expression.
"It's like this. I have a brother who is in his prime, but he is incapable in that regard."
"He can have all the normal reactions a man should have, but whenever he touches a woman, he feels nauseous and wants to vomit."
"However, he is certain that he likes women, and his physical reactions are normal, but he just can't touch women."
"I wonder if your family's medical book, Dr. Lin, has any records of this illness?"
As he spoke, Director Zhou constantly observed Lin Chen's expression. He only relaxed slightly when he saw that Lin Chen's expression was nothing more than surprise and disbelief.
"Oh? Director Zhou, if it's an illness like the one you described, it should be what is known as congenital eunuchism."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Chen quickly stated the answer.
"That's right, it's congenital eunuchism. Can you cure it?"
Hearing Lin Chen accurately state the name of the illness, a flicker of anticipation involuntarily flashed in Director Zhou's eyes.
For so many years, he had been second only to the highest authority in Hangzhou, with wealth and power.
Yet, as a man, he was incapable in that aspect!
What was the point of living?
"Uh, Director, regarding this illness, I do know about it, and I do know how to treat it, but I really cannot do it."
Lin Chen looked troubled, and his hesitant expression made Director Zhou even more curious.
"How is that possible? If you know the treatment method, how can you not be able to do it?"
"Don't worry, as long as you can cure it, I can find anything you need!"
Director Zhou immediately gave his assurance.
What joke was this? With his current status and position in Hangzhou, what couldn't he obtain?
"Director Zhou, it's not that I need any special items."
"The medicinal herbs for treating congenital eunuchism are not particularly rare, but according to the ancient medical book passed down in my family, treating this illness requires true qi, like in Wuxia novels!"
"But I think that so-called true qi is just a legend and simply doesn't exist!"
Lin Chen sighed slightly at this point, appearing as helpless as one could be.
"Oh? True qi?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Director Zhou's eyes lit up, but soon, he regained his previous composure.
Although he was tempted, for the sake of caution, he felt that Lin Chen still needed to be observed further!
After all, the secrets hidden behind him were too great!
More importantly, the most crucial person, to this day, they still hadn't found his whereabouts.
He had to be cautious.
"Beep beep beep."
Just as Lin Chen was about to say something more to Director Zhou, his mobile phone suddenly rang from his pocket.
He picked it up and saw that it was his mother calling.
"Hello Mom, what's wrong?"
Without hesitation, Lin Chen answered the call.
"Hehehehe, Lin Chen, you've been hiding quite deeply!"
However, to Lin Chen's surprise, the voice on the other end of the line was that of a strange man!
