Gu Feng was truly surprised that He Tiansheng and his wife, who were nearly a hundred years old combined, and who looked so refined, steady, generous and proper, were so hasty in doing things.

As soon as he nodded, He Tiansheng strode out and returned to the living room a short while later carrying a heavy suitcase.

"Doctor, here's your consultation fee. Please check it."

He Tiansheng opened the box, and the room was filled with dazzling golden light.

"Yes, doctor, please check and accept it. We'll go see Xiao Qing right away." Zhong Yufen was also impatient.

Gu Feng was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the two of them.

His rules were based on individual circumstances; not everyone had to pay a hundred taels of gold as a consultation fee.

But since they've already brought the consultation fee to my doorstep, they definitely won't agree if I say I don't want it.

I could only glance at the conspicuous box of gold bars, which was enough to verify its authenticity.

When Shi Yurou saw the box of gold, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have recovered from her illness long ago, but she hadn't paid the consultation fee yet.

Although he didn't take out any gold, he lost something far more deadly than gold.

Does that mean... that's not enough, and I have to pay extra?

Losing both her body and her money? That can't be that bad!

Shi Yurou was lost in thought until Gu Feng called her several times before she heard him.

"Huh? Gu Feng, did you call me?" Shi Yurou came back to her senses.

"Sister Rou, I'm going with Uncle He and the others. You stay home and look after the house."

Gu Feng spoke casually, but he subtly gave her a wink, signaling her to put the gold away safely.

Money is something you can never have too much of, and even a hundred taels of gold is no longer enough to satisfy his ever-growing appetite.

"Okay, go ahead, come back soon." Shi Yurou understood, quickly closed the box, and carried it upstairs.

Gu Feng followed He Tiansheng and his wife out the door.

As they reached the alley entrance, a group of secretaries, entourage, and bodyguards who had accompanied them immediately surrounded them.

He Tiansheng invited Gu Feng to get in the car, but Gu Feng waved his hand and pressed the car key.

The Spyker C8 parked next to it flashed its lights twice in response.

He Tiansheng was taken aback when he saw the ridiculously expensive sports car.

I thought this doctor came from an ordinary family, but it turns out that none of the things he uses are ordinary.

He lives in a detached villa, a rarity in Shenzhen these days; he is cared for by young, beautiful, and elegant women; he drives a top-of-the-line luxury sports car; and he receives real money.

Even He Tiansheng, who comes from one of the most prestigious families in Shenzhen, couldn't help but be a little astonished by the grandeur and taste of the place.

But when the group arrived at the He family's house, it was Gu Feng's turn to be astonished.

Standing in front of that grand gatehouse that resembled a municipal government building, Gu Feng felt as insignificant as a drop in the ocean.

Two guards stood ramrod straight on either side of the gate.

Looking inside, one sees a luxurious villa surrounded by heavily armed guards, making the entire building feel like an iron barrel.

Gu Feng thought to himself, "With this setup, even if it rains heavily, not a single drop of water will get inside."

As he was pondering this, He Tiansheng led him inside, past the watchful eyes of nearly a hundred soldiers, and into the He family hall.

Gu Feng was tall and sturdy but thin. He wore a plain casual outfit and walked with his left hand in his pocket and his right hand casually swinging. His demeanor was like that of a model walking the runway, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Although he appeared calm, he was actually quite nervous inside.

The He family and the Ding family gave him completely different feelings.

The Ding family villa was large and heavily guarded, but he never felt constrained while staying there.

Going there is like going home; I dare to run around and go anywhere.

But at the He family's house, the solemn and dignified atmosphere bound him like invisible shackles, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Don't be shy, make yourself at home," He Tiansheng invited him to sit down, and Zhong Yufen quickly asked the servants to serve tea.

Gu Feng smiled awkwardly and sat down as instructed, but thought to himself: Uncle He, you really know how to joke. Do you think this is your own home? It's not much different from being in jail.

I took a sip of the fragrant tea and glanced around.

The hall is decorated in a simple and elegant style, without a trace of vulgarity, which is quite in line with the owner's taste.

"Oh, we have a distinguished guest!"

A booming voice rang out, followed by the appearance of Mr. He, a white-haired, thin-faced, and rather charismatic man.

"Grandpa He, it's been a long time. How have you been?" Gu Feng quickly stood up and bowed.

"Haha, no need to worry. This old man can eat, drink, and sleep well; he won't die anytime soon."

Old Man He chuckled, but it was a forced smile.

Compared to the reserved and gentle Old Man Ding, this old man was more arrogant, more eccentric, and more ruthless.

The only redeeming quality he has is his dry humor.

Gu Feng didn't find the humor funny. He Tiansheng and Zhong Yufen, however, were terrified—constantly using words like "death" and "life" was very unlucky.

"That's good, that's good." Gu Feng could only awkwardly reply. Clearly, he didn't appreciate this dry humor either.

"Alright, stop dawdling. I paid you to come here, not for you to chat idly. You've had your tea and said hello, now go see my granddaughter. We can talk about other things later." Old Man He spoke almost in a commanding tone.

The old man's coldness made He Tiansheng and his wife feel embarrassed and ashamed.

But the old man was clearly the head of the family, and his word was law. No one dared to utter a word, and could only secretly send Gu Feng "please bear with me" and "please be understanding" glances.

To be honest, Old Man He's attitude really annoyed Gu Feng.

Before you've even settled in, you're already ordering people around. Is this how you treat guests?

But then I thought about it again. This old man is quite old. To put it nicely, he's still going strong. To put it bluntly, he's practically half-buried in the ground.

Why should I, a junior, argue with an old man?

Besides, one is obligated to those who pay for one's food. The old man wasn't wrong; they paid him to come, not just for idle chatter.

So Gu Feng stood up: "Then please lead the way, sir."

"This way!" Old Man He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Old Man He acted like a typical landlord.

If it weren't for the hundred taels of gold and the sincere invitation from He Tiansheng and his wife, Gu Feng might have turned and left on the spot.

But for now, all we can do is suppress our anger and follow.

Mr. and Mrs. He Tiansheng quickly followed behind, fearing that the doctor they had finally managed to invite might not be able to handle the old man's temper and might start another fight over a disagreement.

Gu Feng followed Old Man He and soon arrived at a room.

Upon entering, I found it to be a young lady's boudoir. It was about the same size as Ding Hanhan's, but the scent of perfume was much stronger, and the lighting was much brighter.

The pink soft carpet is so lovely that you almost feel bad stepping on it.

The uniquely designed dressing table was piled high with cosmetics. An open laptop, a notebook, and some scattered documents sat on the U-shaped pink desk. Next to it stood a tall bookshelf, densely packed with books.

Beyond that is a set of exquisite sofas, and on the wall opposite the sofas is a huge LCD TV, with high-end speakers standing on both sides.

There's also a small bar counter in the corner against the wall, with crystal glasses and various kinds of foreign liquor on the wine cabinet.

Next to the bar is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, with pink and white curtains drawn open on both sides.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors, you can see the spacious balcony outside, where two off-white lounge chairs are placed.

Further away, you can see the dazzling night view of Shenzhen.

Gu Feng only glanced at her, but it wasn't hard to tell that this Miss He used to be a woman who yearned for romance and had great inner qualities.

Especially across from the bar, with the curtain open, you can clearly see the enclosed bathroom unit made of transparent glass. A heart-shaped bathtub is partially visible, and a silver showerhead hangs from the ceiling…

Seeing this, Gu Feng couldn't help but picture himself sitting at the bar, a wine glass in hand, opposite him a shapely beauty standing under the shower...

Fine wine and beautiful women—that's what life is all about.
