A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

As Ye Feng left the city, before he could figure out his next move, Lin Yuqing called.

"Hey, where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning!" The tone on the other end of the phone carried a hint of exasperation.

"Is something wrong?" Ye Feng didn't mention the broken thorn, afraid of worrying Lin Yuqing. "What's wrong?"

"The Zhu family called." Lin Yu paused, her tone sounding a little strange. "Zhu Wanqing... specifically asked you to come over. It seems her grandfather's illness has relapsed, and they want you to take a look."

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

Zhu Hongsheng's illness is progressing very well! It shouldn't relapse so soon, right? What exactly went wrong?

"Okay, okay, I got it, I'm coming right away!"

Upon arriving at the Zhu family home, he discovered that the situation was different from what he had expected. Zhu Hongsheng's illness was quite stable, even better than before. What troubled him was something else entirely.

"Mr. Ye!" Zhu Wanqing led Ye Feng into the study, dismissing all the servants. Her cold and indifferent attitude revealed a hint of fear and... a plea for help.

This was the first time Ye Feng had ever seen such a look on the proud Zhu Wanqing's face.

"What's wrong?" He got straight to the point.

Zhu Wanqing remained silent for a long time, struggling to think of what to say. For her, who had always been arrogant since childhood, asking for help from a country bumpkin she had once beaten was undoubtedly like trampling on her self-esteem.

But there was no other way; we had to bite the bullet and go for it.

After a long pause, Zhu Wanqing slowly spoke, her voice tinged with resentment. "My Zhu family... recently encountered a troublesome matter. A major matter that I cannot handle..."

"Starting fifteen days ago, an unknown company appeared out of nowhere and began to acquire a large number of Zhu's circulating shares, willing to pay any price to get them; at the same time, some core suppliers and sales channel partners who have cooperated with us for more than ten years also unilaterally and without authorization withdrew from the business in almost the same week, willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract, but they insisted on withdrawing immediately."

"On one hand, there was a frenzy of buying from outsiders, and on the other hand, partners were voluntarily leaving the market. Zhu's money bag was blocked."

She had barely slept for the past two days. With her father gone, the entire Zhu family business relied solely on her and her ailing grandfather. Faced with this double attack, she had never felt such a profound sense of powerlessness before. Desperate, the first name that came to her mind was Ye Feng, that country bumpkin she had looked down upon. She tried to convince herself it was just a desperate gamble. But even this shred of pride lingered for a long time before she finally uttered the word "trouble."

Ye Feng's eyes lit up. "What are the names of those capitalists who bought your shares?"

"CDH Capital!"

CDH Investments!!! Ye Feng's pupils contracted slightly. "It's them again, the Zhao family, their white glove!" The Zhao family suffered a defeat, so they actually went to strangle the Zhu family.

"Heh, it seems..."

Ye Feng smiled faintly.

"The family you, Zhu, encountered was none other than the Zhao family."

"The Zhao family!" Zhu Wanqing was taken aback.

The Zhao family, one of the four major families.

Zhu Wanqing: "The Zhao family, one of the four great families? Our Zhu family has never dealt with the Zhao family, why would they...?"

"Because of you, Zhu family"

Ye Feng's words hit the nail on the head.

Zhu Wanqing froze.

"engagement"

Ye Feng looked at Zhu Wanqing.

"Your Zhu family, Nirvana Mountain, and my marriage agreement."

"Since the Zhao family has approached the Lin family and me, they will definitely be able to find out about this marriage arrangement with your Zhu family."

"Suppressing the Zhu family"

"On the one hand, they're cutting off my support; on the other hand, they're testing the waters to see if I'll stand up for the Zhu family."

Zhu Wanqing's face turned pale and then red.

She was originally Ye Feng, unwilling to give up but forced to seek his help.

However, unexpectedly, the root of this disaster for the Zhu family was actually caused by her and the marriage contract that they had always refused to acknowledge.

"Then...then that's it..."

Zhu Wanqing was speechless for a moment, her pride and reality clashing violently with her inner world.

Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhu Wanqing's awkward expression.

"Alright, stop squirming around."

Ye Feng waved his hand, unusually gentle.

"The Zhu family is facing a problem, and I'm nominally half a member of the Zhu family, so I'll help them out."

"but,"

Ye Feng then changed the subject and returned to his rascal mode.

"Let me make this clear from the start: I'm helping you because of my grandfather and our engagement, not because you're so beautiful, Sister Zhu."

Zhu Wanqing's face flushed red instantly, and she glared at him, abandoning any trace of her humble pleading.

"Who wants you to be in pain?"

Ye Feng laughed heartily.

Miss Zhu still hasn't gotten rid of her prickly exterior, but daring to ask for help is already a big step forward.

"You're blocking the Ponzi scheme."

Ye Feng stopped laughing and became serious.

CDH Investments aggressively accumulates shares.

"I want to take control of you"

"Partners collectively withdraw their investment"

"The Zhao family is putting pressure on you from behind, cutting off your cash flow and forcing you to run out of funds."

"Sell to CDH at a low price"

"This is called shutting down both ends and cutting off the fuel supply."

Zhu Wanqing's eyes lit up

"You...you can too."

"We just clashed with the Zhao family using this move at the Lin family's place."

Ye Feng waved his hand

"The solution lies with those partners who suddenly terminated their contracts. The Zhao family's method of getting those companies to withdraw, even at the cost of paying breach of contract fees, is nothing more than bribery and intimidation."

"Go back and check if these companies have recently had any unusual dealings with companies under the Zhao family, and then collect evidence of those forced to withdraw their investments."

"The game has begun."

"As for CDH's aggressive accumulation of shares in the secondary market, I'll ask someone to help you stabilize things later."

"The Zhao family wouldn't really spend that much money to smuggle something from the Zhu family, given their small size."

"By using nothing to get something in return, we can hold out for a while, and the Zhao family will automatically withdraw."

These words were reasonable and well-founded, and they resolved all the messy things that had been bothering Zhu Wanqing for the past few days.

Zhu Wanqing was stunned for a moment. Listening to him explain so clearly, the last bit of doubt in her heart slowly began to waver.

She had never seen how many other skills this man possessed.

"I see"

Zhu Wanqing composed herself and nodded. "I'll have my assistant look for a partner right now."

Mr. Ye... thank you.

This sentence was noticeably more fluent and sincere than the last time it was said.

"What are you saying?"

Ye Feng stood up and prepared to leave.

"I'll thank you after I've resolved the crisis for the Zhu family."

As he reached the door, he tripped and felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The toxicity hidden in his meridians had become so strong at some point, and it was coming more frequently, like a venomous snake biting him hard in the chest.

Ye Feng's expression changed for a moment, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead. He barely managed to stop himself by leaning against the door.

Is another death looming?

Ye Feng's wounds were getting more and more painful.

Zhu Wanqing, standing inside, noticed his strange behavior outside and quickly stood up to ask, "Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Ye Feng said, a slight smile playing on his lips as he endured the pain. "Alright, I'll go check on things. Remember to let me know if there are any results with the partner."

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he opened the door and went out.

Watching Ye Feng's departing figure, I felt a sense of desolation.

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?" Zhu Wanqing noticed that something seemed to have happened to him and asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Ye Feng waved his hand. "It's just an old problem, I'm fine now. I have to leave first. You can let me know if there are any results from the partner."

With that, he left the Zhu residence and disappeared into the sunlight outside.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhu Wanqing frowned.

The pain on Ye Feng's face just now wasn't as simple as a recurring ailment; this seemingly omnipotent person seemed to possess some extraordinary secret.

Thinking of what my grandfather said, "The benefactor of Nirvana Mountain, the marriage arranged back then," and how he would touch his chest from time to time while giving me acupuncture, I thought he was probably just exhausted.

Now it seems there are just too many strange things about him.

Is it a scam?

But who would be a swindler who would risk being exposed to continue treating Uncle Zhu's illness, help the Zhu family solve their difficulties, and not only would they not take a penny, but they would also never mention the marriage that was so important to him.

The doubts that had been lurking in Zhu Wanqing's heart were partially shattered by his words just now.

For the first time, she felt a feeling she herself was unaware of—heartache!
