“Yes, Third Young Master.”
Chen Fei took the order and disguised himself as an ordinary person before heading to the Divine Physician Sect.
Their current residence was actually just one kilometer away from the Divine Physician Sect. As he walked, he took the opportunity to ask a few questions to the elderly people he saw around.
Although Chen Fei grew up in the Sheng family, he didn’t have the arrogant and superior demeanor of the Sheng family members.
Plus, this time he was determined to help the Third Young Master complete his task, so he was very patient, acting humble and polite. The elders he questioned, seeing his manners and sweet words, told him everything they knew.
In fact, what they said were just some ordinary matters.
But to someone who came from out of town and was unfamiliar with the area, what they said was very useful.
Soon, Chen Fei not only found out about the good deeds the Divine Physician Sect did in saving lives and helping people but also learned that under the previous management of Gu Bofan, ordinary people couldn’t even get a consultation.
“So you’re saying that the Divine Physician Sect was previously managed by Doctor Hua’s senior brothers, and it was only after Doctor Hua returned that he drove them out?”
“Yes, Doctor Hua is truly a living Buddha, a deity saving the suffering. After he returned, not only did ordinary people get free consultations, but they also received free medicinal herbs. This was unimaginable before!”
“The old Divine Physician Sect only treated the wealthy and powerful. Ordinary people without power or money couldn’t even get a glance!”
“The current Divine Physician Sect is wonderful, doing great charity work. Doctor Hua’s medical skills are superb, and his disciples are also very skilled. However, the previous members of the sect are not resigned and always come to cause trouble. Recently, someone pretended to have been treated by the sect and claimed they were harmed, trying to ruin the sect’s reputation…”
Chen Fei carefully noted down everything the elders said.
He also made a point to inquire about the previous members of the Divine Physician Sect.
He felt that these people might be of some use to the Third Young Master.
After gathering information and hearing nothing new, Chen Fei took a walk around the Divine Physician Sect.
Today, neither Hua Shifang nor Nan Yan were present, only a few regular traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Chen Fei stood nearby and quietly listened for a while.
The routine consultations by the resident doctors didn’t interest him much, and he felt there was no need to continue watching, so he returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Chen Fei reported everything he had seen and heard to Sheng Jing.
After the report, he softly said, “Third Young Master, I think we could start with those people who were driven out by Hua Shifang.”
Chen Fei and Sheng Jing were like brothers. When there were no outsiders around, they spoke very casually.
Sheng Jing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.
Ten minutes later, his demeanor sharpened, “Let’s go, we need to meet those people first.”
Having made the decision, he didn’t want to delay.
Sheng Yuanhang was also in the Imperial Capital.
Such a well-known matter, if he were to inquire, he would find out as well.
If he didn’t act quickly and let Sheng Yuanhang get ahead, he might lose this competition.
He couldn’t afford to fall behind again!
By ten o’clock in the evening, Nan Yan still hadn’t received any news from Qin Lu.
She had tried calling.
But he seemed to be in a signal-blocked environment, and the call didn’t go through.
“Yan Yan, still no contact with that brat?”
Old Madam Qin came over with a plate of freshly washed cream strawberries. Seeing Nan Yan frowning slightly, she comforted, “Don’t worry, Ah Lu’s work is sometimes confidential. It’s normal for him to lose contact for a few days.”
Some of Qin Lu’s identities were unknown even to Old Madam Qin.
However, she was accustomed to Qin Lu being so busy that he might disappear for a month or even several months at a time, with occasional missed calls.
At first, she had worried a lot, but later, she realized her grandson always came back safe and sound, which gradually eased her concerns.
She believed in her grandson’s abilities, and besides, this was the Imperial Capital. Even if he had enemies, they wouldn’t dare make a move against him here!
Nan Yan smiled at these words, took a large, fragrant strawberry from the fruit plate, and brought it to Old Madam Qin’s mouth, saying gently, “Grandma, I’m not worried. I was just thinking about something.”
Even if she was worried, she didn’t plan to say it out loud.
She didn’t want to make Old Madam Qin worry as well.
Qin Shiyu scooted over, grabbed a large strawberry from the fruit plate, and took a bite, savoring the sweet and tangy taste with a contented smile.
Then she picked another one and popped it into Nan Yan’s mouth.
After eating, Nan Yan said, “Grandma, it’s getting late. You should go to bed. I have something to do and need to go out for a while. I might be back late.”
