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

The speed at which Deer Cry Manor achieved immortality was even faster than Ye Feng had imagined.

In just two or three days, the reputation of "Ye Feng, the reclusive divine doctor of Nirvana Mountain" spread like wildfire throughout the medical and business circles of Dongyang. He Huai Ren's own stamp of "peerless medical ethics" was more powerful than any thousand words.

People flocked to the Lin family's house seeking medical help, fawning over them, and carrying large bags of gifts, hoping to get him to the hospital. They practically kicked down the door!

Lin Zhenshan was so happy he didn't know what to do. He simply had the old butler stand guard at the door, turning away every visitor with a smile, saying, "Dr. Ye is quite busy lately and cannot see patients for the time being."

However, Ye Feng had little interest in enjoying such a grand title; that was not what he wanted!

On this day, he was sitting cross-legged in his room, regulating his breathing to suppress the pure yang true fire that had become even more excited, when suddenly someone knocked softly on the door outside, neither too loud nor too soft!

"Come in"

Lin Yuqing pushed open the door and walked in, her expression slightly solemn, carrying a stack of printed materials in her hand.

"Something's happened!" Lin Yuqing handed him the stack of printed papers, getting straight to the point! "The Zhu family!"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and took a sheet of printed paper. He glanced at it and saw ten lines!

The paper was covered with alarming numbers. This time, the other party did not take the "secondary market accumulation" route!

"They've learned it." Lin Yuqing tapped the stack of printed papers with her finger. "Last time, when they targeted our Lin family, their 'secondary market accumulation' tactic was exposed by your 'stripping the white glove' move, leaving them feeling cheated. This time, against the Zhu family, they're using a completely different approach—more ruthless and vicious!"

The above shows three attacks simultaneously!

First, they used connections to bribe several senior executives of the Zhu family who controlled the main formulas and sales channels, and then worked together to take them down in one fell swoop; second, they anonymously submitted materials to the drug administration and tax bureau, exposing the quality problems and unclear financial data of several of the Zhu family's flagship products, and then conducted surprise inspections and removed the products from the shelves for self-examination.

Third, the other side launched a simultaneous attack, shorting and deflating Zhu's stock after the quality incident at Zhu's company.

The three approaches worked in unison, each strike was precise and effective, and the coordination was flawless!

"Last time it was about trapping them," Lin Yuqing said carefully, "this time it's about killing them. They're not just going to harvest them at low prices now, they're going to skin the Zhu family alive!"

"This technique..." Ye Feng narrowed his eyes.

"This is far better and more ruthless than the methods I used to deal with the Lin family. To be able to shake the Zhu family's management, the official regulatory departments, and the big shots overseas in such a short period of time, you can count on one hand the number of people in Dongyang who can do it. The person behind this is much more powerful than Dinghui back then."

"Dinghui?"

"Dinghui is just a front man, he can't reach this level." Lin Yuqing shook her head. "The person who can act on such a deep and broad level at the same time is the person behind Dinghui's back, someone even deeper."

"How do you know so much?" Ye Feng paused. "How could outsiders possibly find out about the Zhu family's affairs!"

Lin Yuqing looked at Ye Feng with mixed feelings.

"It's Zhu Wanqing!" She suddenly remembered something. "This morning... she called me on her own initiative."

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Dahua, who was so arrogant and refused to utter the word "fiancée," actually took the initiative to call her?

"She forced herself to speak on the phone!" Lin Yuqing's emotions were also complex. The glaring at Zhu Wanqing suddenly lessened. "She said the Zhu family was truly at its wits' end this time. Grandpa was both angry and ill, and in his desperation, he was grasping at straws. This person, who had always been so aloof, started trembling as she spoke. She herself was fine, but the entire Zhu family, including her grandfather, was in danger. She had used all her pride and dignity from the past!"

"She knows about our past affair, so by saying that, she's completely ruined her reputation." After listening quietly, Ye Feng seemed to see in his mind how Zhu Dahua, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, said at the hospital entrance, "I can't be so easily fooled by you," as she gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears to make that phone call she didn't want to make! In times of crisis, the pride that one has cultivated over the years cannot withstand the lives of millions around them and the life of their grandfather.

"Speaking of which..." Lin Yuqing suddenly sighed softly, her hatred for Zhu Wanqing immediately weakening. "She is indeed arrogant, but she doesn't have any malicious intentions."

"She said she wanted to see you." Lin Yuqing looked up at Ye Feng. "She said that perhaps in this world, only you can save the Zhu family."

Ye Feng gently placed the document on the table and remained silent for a long time.

He remembered the image of Zhu Hongsheng holding his hand, tears streaming down his face; he remembered Zhu Wanqing, who was stubborn but soft-hearted, desperately trying to maintain her proud demeanor.

"Go!" He stood up. "After all, Old Man Zhu has done some favors for my Lin family. We must help him with this!"

Lin Yuqing nodded, as if she had expected it.

"But—" Ye Feng's tone shifted, a glint of something bright appearing in his eyes. "This situation is extremely strange!"

"What's strange?"

"Think about it," he said, pacing a few steps. "Dinghui ran into a wall with my Lin family. Shouldn't they have scurried away with their tails between their legs? But somehow they've switched to an even more lethal method and are now targeting the Zhu family!"

He strolled back to the window and looked in a direction he couldn't see.

"The Zhao family tested the waters here and returned defeated; the Li family tried poisoning, assassination, framing, and spreading rumors, but gained nothing. These two, one engaged in business warfare and the other in a deadly attack, are completely unrelated, yet they're both aiming in the same direction: your Lin family, and me. Two powerful clans with little connection are fighting tooth and nail for the same thing. Behind it all, either there's a shared, enormous interest, or... there's the same person pulling the strings!"

Lin Yuqing took a breath and paused slightly: "You mean, among the four great families, there's one that's even higher?"

"I'm just guessing," Ye Feng shook his head. "But the further the game goes, the bigger the chessboard gets."

Lin Yuqing's heart sank slightly.

The so-called "four major families" mentioned by the father, the man in black who said "the Li family is doing business" that night, and the meticulously planned schemes that followed... This larger and deeper net is being woven little by little in the shadows of this city.

"Get ready." Ye Feng picked up his coat hanging on the back of the chair and put it on, regaining his carefree and roguish air, but his eyes now held a cold glint.

"Go see your unmarried one—oh no, I mean, go see that person who's mingling in the filthy waters of the Zhu family!"

He grinned.

"I'm going to see just how deep the waters of Dongyang City really are!"

Lin Yuqing watched Ye Feng's back as he put on his clothes. Beneath his roguish air of being dressed in white was a calm composure that revealed his understanding of the city's undercurrents.

She rushed after him, annoyed: "How many times have I told you, he's not my fiancé..." He's yours!

"Is it mine?" Ye Feng turned around, a half-smile on his face. "Boss Lin, why do you sound a little sour?"

"Who's jealous!" Lin Yuqing's ears burned, she glared at him fiercely, and ran ahead, shouting, "Let's go!"

Ye Feng chuckled and ran off after him.

The car drove out of the Lin family manor and headed towards the Zhu family manor in the west of the city.

Ye Feng leaned back in the car, closing his eyes to rest. His fingers inadvertently touched his heart. The death ordeal that was only four months away, the unseen face hiding behind the crisis at the Zhu Group Building, and the key whose identity was still unknown... But this time, he was no longer alone.

This game is getting bigger and bigger; they all have to play it all together!
