Just then, a jeep screeched to a halt in front of Chen Zheng. The door was flung open, sending a bodyguard flying. He crashed violently into the nearby crowd, knocking down a large group of people. Immediately after, a towering figure stepped out of the vehicle.
"I'd like to see who dares make a move!" Zhao Feng declared, looking down on everyone with undisguised pride as his powerful aura radiated outwards.
The Sun Family's bodyguards froze, their expressions filled with shock. They could clearly sense that this man was not someone they could afford to offend; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"You bunch of useless trash..." Sun Doudou was infuriated beyond words as she watched her bodyguards tremble, none of them daring to step forward.
"Miss Sun, I'll say this one last time. Your grandfather's illness has nothing to do with our War God!" Zhao Feng said icily. "If you don't know when to back down, don't blame me for being rude!"
This woman had sought them out for trouble time and again. She was starting to cross the line.
"Zhao Feng, that's enough," Chen Zheng said, shaking his head slowly. He climbed into the jeep, and Zhao Feng got into the driver's seat.
"Don't you dare leave!" To their surprise, Sun Doudou spread her arms wide, blocking the jeep's path. "You harmed my grandfather! If you don't explain yourselves, this won't be over until the day I die!" she roared frantically.
Zhao Feng had no patience for such drama. Without a second thought, he started the car and charged straight at Sun Doudou. However, at the last possible moment, he slammed on the brakes. The vehicle stopped just a centimeter from her!
This damn woman, does she have a death wish?! Zhao Feng was startled. He hadn't expected her to remain completely motionless, not even flinching as the jeep rushed toward her.
Just as he was about to get out of the car, he was completely taken aback. Sun Doudou's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Go check on her," Chen Zheng said, his brow furrowed. He immediately pushed open the car door and stepped out.
At that moment, Sun Doudou's face was pale and beaded with cold sweat. She looked incredibly weak.
"War God, I'm certain I didn't hit her!" Zhao Feng said, equally perplexed. She's the young lady of a prominent family. How could she resort to such a cheap trick?
But Chen Zheng just waved his hand nonchalantly and reached out to grab her wrist.
"You have thalassemia?" Chen Zheng asked, his brow tightening. This disease is caused by a long-term deficiency of vital energy. It's clearly a serious hereditary illness.
Sun Doudou's complexion was deathly pale, as if she had lost all her strength. Her eyes were filled with a dazed helplessness as she nodded feebly. "Quickly... take me to a hospital..."
"Nothing can happen to me. My father is already gone, so I'm the only one left to take care of my grandfather. Nothing can happen to *him*..."
Chen Zheng's eyes flickered as he immediately understood. Sun Zhengtang's illness must also be hereditary. There was something fundamentally wrong with their family's constitution!
Chen Zheng sighed deeply, took the purple-gold gourd from his clothes, produced a Small Vitality Pill, and administered it to Sun Doudou.
At first, Sun Doudou was very resistant, but she had no strength left to struggle, so the pill was forced into her mouth.
The Small Vitality Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth. Sun Doudou felt a warm current surge into her abdomen, followed by a gentle heat that spread throughout her entire body.
Her strength began to steadily return, and the pallor on her face started to fade.
"This medicine of yours..." Sun Doudou's eyes widened in utter shock.
From the very beginning, I thought he was just a swindler selling fake medicine. I was sure taking his pill would poison me or cause some other horrible side effect. I never imagined this pill would be so miraculous! I've recovered this quickly after taking it. And what's more, I feel even stronger than I did before.
"Count yourself lucky," Zhao Feng huffed. "Not everyone is fortunate enough to get their hands on a supreme elixir like that!"
Filled with guilt, Sun Doudou's convictions began to waver. Considering how things are now... could everything that terrifying brute said be true? Was he right that they were the ones who saved Grandfather at the airport?
"You need to rest and take care of yourself. Don't get too agitated, or you could have a full relapse," Chen Zheng said, shaking his head slowly. He set Sun Doudou down and walked back toward the jeep.
"Wait a second..." Sun Doudou hurriedly stopped them.
"What is it now?" Zhao Feng asked, turning around with a sour expression. Chen Zheng also stopped.
Looking at Chen Zheng's retreating figure, Sun Doudou bit her lip and pleaded, "Please, save my grandfather! Give me another pill, I'm begging you!"
"I can give you lots and lots of money. You can have my Lamborghini right here—it's worth over twenty million. Can I trade it for one of your elixirs?" she asked, desperate to convince him.
"I'm sorry, but your grandfather's illness can't be solved with a single elixir," Chen Zheng said with a long sigh. It wasn't that he wanted to stand by and do nothing. The problem was that Sun Zhengtang's life force was completely depleted. A Small Vitality Pill could only barely keep him hanging on, which was pointless. Doing so would only give them false hope without providing a real cure—a far crueler fate. As for this woman's repeated provocations, he didn't take them to heart. To someone of his stature, such matters were utterly insignificant.
Just as Chen Zheng was about to get in the car, Sun Doudou dropped to her knees. "Mr. Chen, I'm begging you..."
"In this world, my grandfather is the only family I have left! Please, help me save him! I'm willing to pay any price!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string, all of her former pride gone.
Chen Zheng's hands trembled slightly. Seeing Sun Doudou like this, he couldn't help but think of his own grandfather, Chen Jianguo. He had also been bedridden for many years. A profound sense of empathy washed over him.
"Alright..."
Just then, Sun Doudou's phone suddenly rang.
The moment she answered, her eyes widened in horror. "What did you say? My grandfather is in emergency surgery? He might not make it?"
Her face, which had just regained its color, instantly turned deathly pale again.
"Miss Sun, get in the car. I'll go with you," Chen Zheng said quickly.
"Thank you!" Sun Doudou said anxiously, immediately climbing into the jeep.
