“It’s the old ve who is blind; I’m not sure if thedy has already thought everything through, or even proposed it to her, but it’s truly frustrating…”


    Lin Waner, also known as ni, waved her hand dismissively. “Old Zhang, every choice carries risks. What I need to do is embrace greater risks to secure a better future. If I die in the process, I ept that. As long as Charlie can safeguard my father’s ring and ensure it doesn’t end up in Po Qinghui’s (Benn) hands, I’ll be at peace.” Old Zhang nodded in understanding.


    With a respectful nod, she replied, “Miss, this old ve understands! If that’s how it is, I won’t disturb you any longer!”


    …


    Meanwhile, Charlie was on the receiving end of a call from X. As soon as they connected, X spoke in a hushed tone, “Master Wade, Hong Tianshi hase to report to my grandfather!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “The old boy has made some progress. What’s his attitude like?”


    “His attitude is quite good…” X replied awkwardly, “But he insists oning to Serene Medical Clinic to assist my grandfather. We don’t really have much for him to do here; he’s just sitting around…”


    Charlie chuckled and said, “That’s fine; let him sit for now. I’ll swing byter.”


    “Great!” X responded gratefully. “Master Wade, I can’t thank you enough for this. If it weren’t for you, my grandpa’s reputation would have been tarnished by the Hong family.”


    Charlie reassured her, “It’s just a small favor; there’s no need for such formalities. If you ever face another issue you can’t resolve, please reach out to me right away.” After finishing his call with X, Charlie got ready and drove over to Dr. Simmons’s Serene Medical Clinic.


    At that moment in the clinic, Dr. Simmons was apanying X to see a patient. A patient who had received a prescription was there to pick up medication. Hong Changqing, a slender man with a white beard, was engaged in conversation with the clerk. “Hey, kid, put down the scale and let this poor Taoist help you with the medicine!”


    The clerk muttered in annoyance, “I won’t let you take it; why should I let you grab the medicine?”


    Hong Changqing retorted angrily, “Do you even understand the concept of respecting your elders and caring for the young? Since Master Wade asked me toe here to report to Miracle Doctor Simmons, I can’t just sit idle! Just find me something to do! I’ll fetch the medicine for you while you take a break—doesn’t that work for both of us?”


    “Yeah, right!” the clerk scoffed. “You think you’re so clever! I won’t let you do it! Go ahead, hit me if you can, and let’s see if Master Wade will back you up then!”


    “You!” Hong Changqing’s face turned a deep shade of anger, but he knew better than to act out against the kid. Instead, he sighed and proposed, “How about this? Let’s help each other out. I’ll make you my registered disciple, and I guarantee you’ll benefit from it in the future!”<fn9bcb> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FιndNovel</fn9bcb>


    The clerk rolled his eyes and replied, “Who would want to be your disciple? What would I learn? How to steal and pull tricks?”


    Hong Changqing pointed an using finger at the clerk, his frustration evident.


    Just then, Charlie entered and teased, “Oh, Hong Tianshi doesn’t seem to be in the best of moods!”
