"Sisi, please come in." Liu Fangfei quickly stepped aside. "I'm going to find a friend. Why don't you talk to him?"

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Feifei!" Lu Sisi bowed politely as she saw her off.

Chu Yang got up and took a set of chopsticks and a bowl. "Miss Lü, what a coincidence! Let's eat together."

"Brother Chu Yang!"

The moment the door closed, Lü Sisi seemed to transform, rushing into Chu Yang's arms like a little bird.

"Thank you for saving me! Thank you!"

Chu Yang was so frightened that he quickly raised his arms, afraid that he might accidentally offend such a young girl.

"Heh, look at what you're saying. I saved you, but your dad also paid a price. It was a fair trade, don't worry about it."

Lu Sisi shook her head playfully in his arms, "No, I just want to thank you. I won't go to the birthday banquet with Dad tonight; I'll treat you to dinner instead, okay?"

After breaking free, Chu Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Another day. I have something to do tonight."

Lu Sisi obediently hummed in agreement. "Brother, you can't lie to me, okay? You can't refuse again next time."

"Miss Lü, you..."

"Just call me Sisi!"

"Oh, Sisi, are you new here or leaving? How did you know I was here?"

Chu Yang expressed his doubts about this.

When he visited Lu Sisi to treat her illness, he could feel it in the living room because Lu Sisi's yang energy was almost exhausted and her yin energy was severely dissipated.

But Lü Sisi's condition has improved significantly now; he didn't even sense her when they were at the door earlier.

A playful smile appeared on Lü Sisi's face.

"Brother, if I told you we have a telepathic connection, would you believe me?"

Chu Yang was taken aback.

He actually knew very little about the Nine Yin Body technique; the old man hadn't taught him much, and various ancient texts only mentioned it briefly.

Lu Sisi proudly raised her snow-white, pointed chin. "Brother, I sensed you were nearby as soon as I went upstairs. The feeling got even stronger as I walked into this private room. So I stood at the door to eavesdrop, but then Sister Feifei came out."

A sly, mischievous smile crept across her lips. "You and Sister Feifei, aren't you...?"

Her two slender index fingers playfully tapped together.

Chu Yang blushed. "What does a little brat know? Eat something."

Lü Sisi didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

"Actually, I'm not a little kid!" She seemed to mind that Chu Yang treated her like a child. "I'll be turning twenty soon."

Chu Yang chuckled. "Yeah, it's quite big."

Lu Sisi pursed her lips, nudged Chu Yang's arm with her shoulder, and asked in a serious tone:

"Bro, are you making a dirty joke by calling me 'big'?"

As she spoke, she proudly displayed her most attractive features.

Chu Yang: "..."

"Hey, you little girls, don't you know how to talk without thinking? Hurry up and eat. Hey? You came here by yourself?"

Chu Yang looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, mainly because he glanced at it and it was indeed quite large.

"No, I came with my dad and brother, and also with an older sister who just came from Shanghai."

At this point, Lü Sisi's face was full of envy.

"That woman is so beautiful, her aura is... wow, she's like a moon goddess. But I don't really like her arrogant attitude."

Seeing Lü Sisi wolfing down her food, Chu Yang felt a pang of sympathy.

Inside another royal private room.

Lu Wenguang and his son Lu Yaozu were chatting and laughing with Hua Xiyue.

"Mayor Lü, I just heard that your daughter is seriously ill."

Lu Wenguang gave a bitter smile. "Miss Hua, I contacted you before, but I heard you were in seclusion recuperating."

Hua Xiyue's expression was arrogant, but she smiled and said, "Now that I'm here, it's not too late."

Lu Wenguang stood up excitedly, "Miss Hua saw Sisi just now, what do you think...?"

Hua Xiyue waved her hand, "Mayor, please don't be anxious. I just used my Qi-gazing technique to examine your daughter, and it is indeed a bit tricky. But my Hua family's medical skills have been passed down for hundreds of years, so we are not helpless. However... I have a small favor to ask of you."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yaozu could no longer sit still.

"Miss Hua, as long as you can completely cure my sister, the Lü family will grant any conditions you set!"

Lu Wenguang nodded solemnly, "That's right! May I ask what brings Miss Hua here?"

Hua Xiyue said solemnly, "Our Hua family has a family heirloom cauldron. Starting this year, it has been exhibited in various branches across the country. Yesterday, a petty scoundrel stole the cauldron from the Donghai Shennong Pharmacy, injured the pharmacy manager, and threatened the security guards."

Lu Yaozu slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "This is outrageous! I'm calling the law enforcement bureau right now. Miss Hua, do you know who that thug is?"

Hua Xiyue calmly picked up her phone.

"Manager Huang, please come to the private room and tell the mayor what happened."

Not long after, the chubby Manager Huang entered the private room, panting. After bowing to each of the three people inside, he began to explain the situation.

Now that the eldest daughter of the Hua family has come to Donghai in person, he feels more confident.

To absolve himself of responsibility for his negligence, he portrayed Chu Yang as a bully who preyed on the weak.

"You mean, this person injured Chen Tianlin and his son Chen Dongming from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy yesterday?"

"That's right! He caused trouble at the pharmacy during the day, and when Master Chen spoke up for him, he was injured. I didn't expect him to come again at night, injuring the security guard and stealing the precious cauldron."

Lu Wenguang roared in fury, "This is utterly unheard of! How could there be such a villain in Donghai!"

Manager Huang quickly unlocked his phone. "Your Excellency, this is a photo of that madman. I heard Xiao Zhanshen call him Chu Yang."

Upon hearing this, Lü Wenguang's expression immediately froze. "Chu Yang? And Xiao Zhanshen?"

Lu Yaozu quickly grabbed the phone, "Ah...it really is him!"

Manager Huang quickly interjected, "Sir, Xiao Zhanshen was not involved in the robbery. Moreover, his relationship with this Chu Yang doesn't seem to be very harmonious."

Seeing the rapid change in the expressions of the father and son, Hua Xiyue frowned slightly.

"Mayor Lü, is it because of Xiao Zhanshen that you are helpless against this thug?"

"Uh... Miss Hua, I trust Xiao Zhanshen's character; he would never protect a villain. It's just that this Chu Yang... he's the one who saved my daughter. And he also said that my daughter's illness can't be cured; he can only treat her when it flares up."

Lu Wenguang's words revealed helplessness, but his eyes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Hua Xiyue's reaction.

Hua Xiyue's brows were filled with disdain.

"Miss Lü suffers from a rare condition caused by evil spirits invading her body, but it's not as bad as it seems. Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is shining brightly. I can expel the evil spirits from her body. Mayor Lü no longer needs to hesitate and be restrained by villains."

Lü Wenguang hesitated.

Lu Yaozu laughed loudly, "Hahaha, my little sister is a blessed person. I thank Miss Hua on her behalf."

He looked at Lü Wenguang, "Dad, I never fully trusted Chu Yang to begin with. After all, he's a convict. If we sever ties with him, we can also smooth things over with the Murong family. Since Miss Hua has already agreed to cure my sister, what are you still hesitating about?"

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang urgently.

"Brother, I got beaten up by a kid," Qu Xin, the manager in charge of corporate evaluation, said, crying.

Lu Yaozu frowned. "Didn't you go to the Su Group for an evaluation?"

"Um... Su Wanning from the Su Group invited me to lunch at Juxianlou Restaurant, and she even tried to seduce me. You know, I'm never swayed by beauty. But I never expected her to bring some random guy who beat me up. That's a honey trap! And he said even if you and the mayor came, he'd still beat me up!"
