"Patriarch!!"
"Patriarch!"
A chorus of panic shattered the silence, slicing through the air as Zhang Wei's brow arched skyward.
He turned, eyes sweeping over a swarm of guards clad in sleek black suits as they flooded in.
"Doctor Zhang! Please, save my daughter!" The voice, old yet infused with desperate vigor, clung to Zhang Wei's legs.
"..."
Silence descended, thick and suffocating, as if the very air dared not stir.
"Doctor?" Lisa's interjection floated in, tinged with a bewilderment that might as well have come with its own question mark.
Before the echo faded, another character entered stage left.
Tang Dexin's eyes found Zhang Wei, and his sigh of relief was almost loud enough to have its own script. "Master Zhang, your timing is impeccable!"
"Master Zhang?"
"Master Zhang?"
Amidst the echo of his title, Zhang Wei's eyes flickered, irritation flashing. "Zhang! Zhang! Zhang! Would silence be too much to ask for just a moment?"
Bam!
"Argh!"
"What!?"
"Impossible!"
"Patriarch!"
Under the collective gaze of astonishment, Zhang Wei's leg lashed out, sending Liu Dongzi tumbling.
"Argh!" As the old man recoiled, a shiver of inward disgust ran through Zhang Wei. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"I get it, that's why the Liu family's influence has been waning day by day. Have you heard about the curse—"
"Shh! They might hear us!"
Behind the reception desk, two ladies whispered among themselves, their voices a mixture of concern and curiosity.
But they weren't the only ones buzzing with speculation; the discovery of the Liu family's plight seemed to have set the entire place abuzz.
Liu Dongzi's decision to expose such a vulnerability in public was bold indeed, and now, the room was ripe with whispers, making it clear that if Zhang Wei declined the request, opportunists might swarm to exploit the Liu family's misfortune.
The murmurs and not-so-subtle glances cast towards Patriarch Liu Dongzi and Tang Dexin only served to darken their expressions further.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei, adopting the pose of a sage by thoughtfully stroking where a beard might have been, contemplated the situation with an air of detachment.
"Where is your granddaughter currently, old man? I might as well gather some good karma once in a while," Zhang Wei finally said, his words igniting a spark of hope in the elder's eyes.
System, [Correction: The young master wants to pluck new flowers for addition to his collection, not karma!]
Zhang Wei, mentally adding to the system's correction, 'You forgot to include Money!'

Inside a Rolls Royce speeding towards the Liu family manor, the atmosphere was charged with a peculiar blend of anticipation and intrigue.
Zhang Wei occupied the plush back seat, his presence alone an evidence to the weight of the situation, while Lisa sat beside him, her curiosity about his medical prowess unabated.
Patriarch Liu Dongzi took the co-pilot seat, his posture stiff with anxiety, as Tang Dexin trailed in a convoy of six sleek black Rolls Royces, their procession rolling through the streets of Qingyun.
The spectacle did not go unnoticed; whispers and speculation spread like wildfire, ensuring that the entire city was abuzz with the news.
"Old Liu, you mentioned your granddaughter is bedridden. What exactly did you mean by that?" With some distance still to cover before reaching their destination, Zhang Wei seized the moment to delve deeper into the matter at hand.
His inquiry was not just out of professional curiosity; it was also driven by a territorial instinct.
In his domain, he was the lone shark; others were mere fish, not permitted to prey upon the desperate.
Only he shall be allowed to prey!
Unaware that he was essentially striking a deal with the devil, Liu Dongzi's eyes brimmed with sorrow as he began his tale, "My granddaughter, Ling'er, five years ago..."
