  Chapter 0006: The Master of the Wu Family

  Chu Nan, Ling Luo Xi, Wu Pei and Grand Manager Wu Han were sitting inside a sedan. Apart from the four of them, there was also a driver in the car. In front and behind, each had a black sedan sandwiching it in the middle, with very good protective measures taken.

  The general manager sat in the passenger seat, Chu Nan was sitting in the middle of the back row at this moment, just sandwiched between two beauties. The exposed thighs outside were either touching Wu Pei's black silk beautiful legs on the left or would touch Luo Xi's beautiful legs, making his heart itch. He kept secretly scolding the driver's driving skills for being too good. If there was a sudden brake, both beauties would rush into his arms together, that would be great.

  After the sedan drove away, Wu Pei let out a sigh and said, "Mr. Chu, although I don't know what kind of grudge you have with those people, but you're too impulsive, just now you probably stirred up some big trouble."

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "Are you referring to those few young masters?"

  Wu Pei nodded: "Maybe you look down on those spoiled rich kids, and I don't think much of them either. But their family background is real. Take the guy you beat up, Gu Cheng - his father, Gu Baichuan, is the second-ranked real estate developer in Jiangwan City, with connections to both the legitimate business world and the underworld. Gu Baichuan's rise to wealth wasn't exactly glorious, and he wouldn't hesitate to use ruthless tactics against you."

  "The owner of that restaurant is even more terrifying than all those people's families put together."

  "Are you referring to that Hua Zong?" Chu Nan was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "But I think such a big shot would not bother with me over this trivial matter. Most importantly, I left with you."

  Wu Pei looked at Chu Nan deeply and said with a hint of meaning: "Mr. Chu is very good at borrowing power to strike back!"

  "Thanks for the compliment." Chu Nan smiled and said, "As for my reward for saving your father, I don't want any money. Just help me cover up what just happened and that's enough trouble for you."

  Wu Pei couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh after hearing Chu Nan's words: "Mr. Chu, your plan is really deep, letting the Wu family take the bullet for you, this price is even higher than paying in cash. However... compared to my father's life, this doesn't count as anything. But Mr. Chu, do you really have confidence in saving my father?"

  "In Chu Nan's eyes shone a confident light: 'If I can't cure it, then no one in this world will be able to!'"

  This confidence infected Wu Pei, and Wu Pei's heart immediately added a few points of hope. If this so-called divine doctor was just a big liar who happened to save the old director, Wu Pei didn't mind pushing him out and throwing him to either the Gu family or the Hua family, as the price of deceiving himself.

  Wu Pei was thinking, when Chu Nan suddenly said: "Let's speed up a bit, it's going to rain on the road."

  Chu Nan's words left everyone feeling bewildered, although it was already late afternoon, the sky was still bright and sunny. Zero Creek muttered to himself, wondering what kind of profound mystery this Chu brother was playing with again.

  The sedan slowly drove out of the city center and into a villa on the mountain, where the weather suddenly turned dark and ominous, with loud thunder rumbling in the distance. The people inside the car looked at each other in shock and amazement, recalling Chu Nan's earlier prediction.

  Grand Steward Wu Han swallowed a mouthful of saliva, astonished: "Mr. Chu, this... just now the sky was clear and cloudless, but now it's thundering, how did you see it coming?"

  Not just Wu Han, but also Ling Luo Xi and Wu Bei were all staring at Chu Nan with incredulous expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.

  Chu Nan smiled faintly and said: "Observing the celestial phenomena and knowing the weather are all very ordinary things."

  Wu Han took a deep breath and said with a face full of admiration: "Mr. Chu is indeed a godlike person, truly worthy of the reputation as 'Perfect Gentleman'!"

  "In the south of Chu, a mysterious and profound smile said: 'Let's hurry up and go inside, this storm will last for half an hour, after it disappears, it will naturally clear up again. We can't just stand here and get drenched.'"

  "That's right, come in, hurry into the villa!"

  Several people got off the bus and ran towards the hall, looking at Chu Nan beside her, Wu Pei thought: "Even a rain can be calculated for how long it will last, what kind of person is this? Is he human or ghost or god? Maybe he dares to offend the Gu family and other families not because of impulsiveness, but really because he has nothing to fear!"

  Anyway, Wu Pei's confidence in Chu Nan has reached an all-time high, which is also the effect that Chu Nan wants to achieve.

  The Wu family's villa, including the yard, is about 700 square meters in size. Next to the rooftop is a small swimming pool.

  Chu Nan didn't have time to take a closer look, and together with Ling Luo Xi, they rushed into the villa's grand hall. Several servants immediately came forward, and Wu Pei casually asked: "Is dinner ready?"

  An old woman bent down: "Ready, miss!"

  After changing into slippers, Chu Nan took a look around the villa's living room. The floor was made of smooth marble, and the walls were painted a light yellow color, giving off an air of nobility without being too flashy. The ceiling on the second floor, which was about five meters high, was a creamy white color, with a large golden chandelier hanging from it. Apart from that, the living room was simply furnished with high-end tables and chairs, as well as leather sofas. There was also a home theater system set up in one corner of the room. Against one wall stood a wine cabinet, with several bottles of red wine scattered about inside. In the corners of the room, there were a few potted plants placed here and there.

  After visiting Zheng's house, Wu's house looks more luxurious, grand and not tacky in comparison.

  At this time, outside, it was indeed pouring heavily with a loud whooshing sound. Zero Creek secretly smiled and said: "Chu big brother, according to your skills, we can go set up a stall to tell fortunes."

  Chu Nan smiled and said, "This is observing the celestial phenomenon, calculating hexagrams belongs to the category of destiny, and those who set up stalls on the roadside to calculate hexagrams are mostly scammers. Can they really grasp the true destiny?"

  Wu Pei said curiously beside him: "Oh? Could it be that Mr. Chu also has a study on fortune-telling?"

  Chu Nan said proudly, "By observing the celestial phenomena, I can know nine-tenths of the weather, and by observing one's face, I can know seven-tenths of their fate. However... truly calculating one's destiny will indeed reduce their lifespan, each calculation reducing it once more. Moreover, although there is a saying that wealth and nobility are predetermined in heaven, people with a hard destiny can also change their heavenly fate, so fortune-telling or physiognomy may not necessarily be accurate."

  Wu Pei nodded slightly, uttered an "oh" and gazed at the ordinary-looking man in front of her. Suddenly, she felt that he was like a riddle - when they first met, he seemed very normal, but after interacting with him, she found him mysterious, and the more she tried to figure him out, the more mysterious he became.

  Wu Pei looked at Ling Luo Xi again and smiled: "This young lady..."

  "Zero Creek smiled and said: 'My name is Zero Creek.'"

  "Oh, Miss Lingluo Creek, what is your relationship with Mr. Chu?"

  "I'm his girlfriend!"

  Chu Nan was about to explain, when Ling Luo Xi leaned in close to his ear and whispered menacingly, "Darling, you've kissed me, touched me, don't even think about shaking off your relationship with me!"

  This mischievous little girl, Chu Nan was getting more and more helpless with her, pretending not to have heard, but in Wu Pei's eyes it seemed like she had agreed.

  "Oh, you two are really a perfect match. Miss Luo Xi is so beautiful, I wonder how Mr. Chu pursued her back then?"

  Ling Luo secretly smiled in her heart: "Isn't it just that you want to get information about Chu Ge through me? Using your cunning on this young lady, it seems you've found the wrong person."

  Wu Pei was naturally astute, but Ling Luo Xi was even more cunning. So when talking about Chu Nan, she would always be vague and ambiguous. Of course, she herself didn't know much about Chu Nan either.

  Wu Pei and Ling Luo Xi, two equally excellent beauties, were getting more and more into the conversation, leaving Chu Nan isolated on one side. Chu Nan was happy to be left alone, his eyes occasionally stealing glances at the two big beauties, one with a noble and elegant demeanor, the other a lovely and cute little loli, truly a feast for the eyes.

  After dinner, Wu Pei saw that Ling Luo Xi, who had been busy all day, seemed a bit tired and immediately said: "I have already prepared rooms for the two of you, let the servants take you to rest!"

  Chu Nan took a glance at Zero Luo Xi, who was dozing off, and considerately said: "Let someone take little Zero to rest, I'll go see your father. You must be anxious too."

  Wu Pei exclaimed with great joy: "Didn't they say that treatment couldn't continue today?"

  Chu Nan smiled and said: "Treating only five patients a day is our rule, but I'm not going to break it. I just want to go see the patient and have a clear mind."

  Wu Pei hastily expressed her gratitude and called a maid to take Zero back to the room to rest, while she took Chu Nan to a room on the second floor that was furthest inside. There were two black-clad bodyguards with cold expressions standing at the door. After pushing open the door, they saw a man in his fifties with half-white hair lying on the bed, his eyes tightly closed and breathing weakly, in a state of coma.

  Take a closer look at this man's appearance, and Wu Pei is indeed similar in eight parts. Even if he is already half a hundred years old, he still has the charm that can make many girls crazy, but his face is bloodless at this time, looking too haggard.

  Wu Pei let out a soft sigh beside her, and even as a strong woman, she couldn't help but reveal the vulnerability of a little girl at this moment. Her voice was filled with sadness as she said: "My mom passed away when I was in my teens, and since then it's been just me and my dad. My dad hasn't been in great health all these years, but he never had any major illnesses until last week, when he suddenly didn't wake up one morning. I even brought the best doctors from the capital to come and treat him, but they said there was no hope, that my father wouldn't make it for another two days, and that I should start preparing for his funeral."

  Chu Nan walked closer to observe, listening to Wu Pei's words while carefully taking his pulse. His eyebrows immediately furrowed, although he had thought that the patient from the Wu family might be very serious, but he hadn't expected it to be this severe. The functions of all five internal organs and six external organs were already extremely declined, indeed reaching the brink of death. Even if Hua Tuo were alive, it's unlikely he could guarantee a 100% cure.

  Chu Nan sighed and looked at Wu Pei, saying: "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help your father recover, you don't have to be too anxious."

  Wu Bei looked at Chu Nan with an expectant face and said: "Do you really have a way? How did my father become like this? What disease caused it?"

  Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to speak or not. He felt as if he was being drawn into a dangerous whirlpool that was difficult to predict. Once he stepped in, he feared that this time in Jiangwan City, he would stir up countless troubles. However, looking at Wu Pei who was still oblivious to the situation, his heart couldn't bear the thought of such a beautiful woman being in danger without knowing it. Moreover, he acted according to his conscience and didn't care about petty people.

  I won't bother you if you don't bother me. If you bother me, I'll give you a punch and I'll return ten punches to you, no matter who your mother is!

  Chu Nan's gaze swept around the room, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he sneered, "Snake venom!"
