If you had to choose an identity to go undercover, you'd choose a gynecologist.

Chen Qing quickly stood up at attention: "Greetings, Commander Ming."

Minglou waved for him to sit down and said in a low voice, "Aunt Gui was sent to my house by Nantian Yangzi to monitor me and my eldest sister. She suspects that I had Wang Fuqu and Harada Xiong'er assassinated. She has been investigating me recently. She also told Wang Manchun that my eldest sister had Wang Fuqu killed and asked Wang Manchun to investigate my eldest sister. She is pressing me step by step."

"What does Commander Ming want me to do?"

"We can't touch Aunt Gui yet; she's just there to mislead Nantian Yangzi. I'm afraid Wang Manchun might do something desperate and harm my eldest sister, so I'd like to ask you to protect her safety for now."

Minglou really knows how to create problems for himself. He is willing to protect Mingjing, but he is neither a professional bodyguard nor a professional agent. How can he protect her?

"But I'm just a doctor, completely defenseless. If I were to encounter Wang Manchun, I'd be in deep trouble myself, let alone protect Miss Ming."

Minglou laughed and said, "After all, I am still sitting in the position of deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee. Without evidence, Nantian Yangzi and Wang Manchun would not dare to touch her easily. It's just that my older sister is impulsive, and I'm afraid she will be caught with something. Then I won't be able to show up. During this period, you just follow her and help her find and fill in the gaps. After a while, I will take care of Nantian Yangzi."

Chen Qing understood Ming Lou's meaning. Ming Jing was a typical example of someone who was both incompetent and loved to play around. In the TV series, she even went to the black market to buy explosives, got caught by the 76th Division, and was even framed by Wang Manchun. If it weren't for Ming Lou's secret protection, she would have been dead long ago.

Minglou's words were very cryptic, and Chen Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "But, what reason do I have to follow her? There has to be a reason, right?"

Minglou patted him on the shoulder: "This shouldn't be too difficult for you. Show me your true abilities; this is a mission."

Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "Okay then. I'll tell her that I need to keep an eye on the factory these next few days. This is a critical time, and we can't afford any mistakes. I won't feel at ease until mass production begins. It'll also be a good opportunity for her to take a few days to recover."

Minglou said with satisfaction, "That's good. Go tell my eldest sister quickly."

Chen Qing told Mingjing about it. Mingjing, recalling the pleasurable massage he had given her earlier, blushed slightly and nodded in agreement, "Then I'll accompany you to the factory for the next few days. Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Qing took his leave, and the driver took him back to Ping'anli. Mingcheng went to the study, opened the door, and asked Minglou, who was reading, "Brother, are you really sending him to protect Big Sister? What are you planning?"

Minglou gestured for him to close the door before speaking, "I had no choice. My eldest sister is not young anymore, and she's still single. She insists on remaining unmarried for the sake of the Ming family. If I don't worry about her marriage, who will?"

Mingcheng suddenly realized: "You want to use the guise of protection to let the two of them have more contact, but Chen Qing is a playboy, and he's having an affair with Wang Manchun. I don't approve."

Minglou shrugged and said, "But he has good genes, he's handsome, and he can make my eldest sister happy. Most importantly, he has a penicillin formula, which can make the Ming family rise rapidly. If he has a child with my eldest sister, he will have to marry into our Ming family. If he dares to be unfaithful to my eldest sister, I won't let him off the hook. He owns one-third of the shares in the new company. Do you know how much those shares will be worth in the future? It will be a huge fortune. He will have to pass these shares on to his child, right? It can only be his and my eldest sister's child. This money will still belong to the Ming family."

Mingcheng suddenly realized: "I understand now. In the end, our Ming family will gain both wealth and fortune, which is thanks to your wisdom, eldest brother. But what if they fail to succeed?"

Minglou revealed a calculating look in his eyes: "Then find a way to drug them. With our identities, we're walking on the edge of a knife every day. We might get into trouble any day now. We need to leave an heir for our eldest sister. It would be best if she could have several children. I'll leave this matter to you then."

Mingcheng grinned mischievously and said, "I understand. It's all thanks to your foresight, brother. I'll go prepare the aphrodisiac right now!"

Minglou handed him the note: "Ask your older sister if this is her bank account. If it is, be careful. Also, it's time to put getting rid of Nantian Yangzi on the agenda."

"How do you plan to get rid of her?"

"Of course it's a honey trap. You go and seduce Nantian, and I'll find a chance to kill her."

………………

When Chen Qing returned to Ping'anli, it was almost nine o'clock at night. The lights were on on the second floor, presumably Wang Jiazhi was listening to the radio on time.

He planned to sit in the clinic for a while, and after Wang Jiazhi finished her work, he would tell her some things. He wouldn't be coming to the clinic for the next few days.

The door to the clinic was kicked open. Chen Qing was organizing prescriptions when he looked up and saw his landlord, Mr. Hu, rushing in with his wife, looking anxious.

"Dr. Chen, please take a look at my wife! She suddenly feels unwell, I really hope she doesn't miscarry!"

Mrs. Hu was being supported, her brows furrowed, one hand clutching her lower abdomen, her steps unsteady.

Chen Qing quickly got up and moved a chair over, saying softly, "Mrs. Hu, please sit down. Don't rush, let me take your pulse first."

My fingertips touched her wrist; her pulse was steady and strong, and her blood and energy were abundant. There was no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

Chen Qing knew perfectly well that this was clearly an act.

But he remained expressionless, pretending to ponder.

Mrs. Hu turned to Mr. Hu and said, "Go home and bring me the medicine I took. Let Dr. Chen take a look. It would be troublesome if there was something wrong with the medicine. It's in the bedroom drawer. Look carefully."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu dared not delay and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I'll go right away! You sit here and let Dr. Chen take good care of you!"

With only the two of them left in the consultation room, Mrs. Hu's pain vanished instantly, and she leaned closer: "My darling, I'm pregnant, and it's yours."

Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at her abruptly and said urgently, "Mrs. Hu, how can you be so sure it's mine? What if it's your husband's?"

"There has to be a first-come, first-served order," Mrs. Hu said matter-of-factly. "You came first, and my husband came later, so it's definitely yours."

Chen Qing was speechless, choked by these words. Could this matter be divided like this?

He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then tell me what to do. If it's mine, I'll definitely acknowledge it."

"Did my husband give you money?" Mrs. Hu asked, changing the subject.

"Well, they gave me a few hundred yuan, saying it was for the funeral. I couldn't very well say no, otherwise he would become even more suspicious of me."

As he spoke, he pulled a wad of cash from his pocket, amounting to several thousand yuan.

Mrs. Hu's eyes lit up, and she snatched it and stuffed it into her bosom, muttering, "I'm keeping this to take care of my health, and I'll need it to buy baby formula in the future. This isn't enough."

Chen Qing then realized that Mrs. Hu was using this incident to blackmail him.

He was frustrated, but didn't say much, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

He turned around, took out a large, golden yellow croaker from his desk drawer, and handed it over.

Mrs. Hu saw the gold bar, snatched it, and quickly stuffed it into the inside pocket of her coat along with the money.

"Is this enough?" Chen Qing said irritably. "Besides, it's not even certain whether it's mine or not."

"Enough, enough!" Mrs. Hu beamed, giving him a flirtatious wink. "Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. To be honest, I really hope that jerk doesn't come back. He never stays for even a minute, it's so boring..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Hu's footsteps could be heard outside the door.

The two immediately fell silent, and Mrs. Hu immediately put on that pained expression again, leaning back in her chair and frowning slightly.

Mr. Hu rushed in, panting, carrying a bottle of medicine. "Honey," he asked, "is this the one?" he asked. "I found it at the very back of the drawer."

"Yes, this is the bottle," Mrs. Hu replied weakly.

Chen Qing took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, smelled it, and carefully read the instructions on the bottle. Then she frowned and said to Mr. Hu, "Mr. Hu, this medicine is contraindicated for pregnant women. The ingredients are bad for the fetus. No wonder Mrs. Hu is feeling unwell. Please don't take it again. I'll prescribe some vitamins for her to help her recover."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to Mr. Hu.

Mr. Hu took the prescription and thanked Dr. Chen repeatedly, saying, "Thank you so much, Dr. Chen! You've really gone to so much trouble. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known there was something wrong with the medicine!"

As he spoke, he helped Mrs. Hu to her feet. Mrs. Hu still looked weak. Before leaving, she secretly gave Chen Qing a reassuring look.

Chen Qing watched the two figures disappear into the distance and shook his head helplessly.

As Wang Jiazhi, dressed in a cheongsam, swayed down the stairs, Chen Qing asked, "Any news?"

Wang Jiazhi frowned and said, "No!"

Chen Qing stood up and said, "Then let's go home. I have something to do these next few days and can't come to the clinic. You and Xing'er can look after things here."
