I'll give you 10 million if you can cure it.

The old man almost vomited blood again, completely because of Chen Tian's words.

Chen Tian's appearance was so strange. He seemed deeply hidden, yet he acted completely unaware.

At this moment, the girl hurriedly asked, "Big brother, are you a doctor? Can you help treat my grandpa's illness?"

"Uh, I am a doctor," Chen Tian awkwardly smiled and couldn't help but take another glance at the girl.

The girl appeared to be under twenty.

She wore a black cropped top, exposing her belly button, which looked quite sexy.

Her bottom was a pair of ripped jeans.

The rips exposed large patches of skin, white and mysterious.

Her features were delicate, with a high nose bridge and big eyes that sparkled. Even though it was getting dark and the lighting was dim, you could still clearly see her long eyelashes.

At the most beautiful age, she exuded an indescribable youthful beauty.

"Brother, you looked so amazing just now. Are you really skilled in medicine? Can you save my grandpa?" the girl suddenly started acting cute, grabbing Chen Tian's hand and not letting go.

Chen Tian was a little startled and didn't know how to react.

It reminded him of his younger sister.

At this point, the old man hurriedly stopped his granddaughter, shaking his head.

"Ling'er, this young man has already saved our lives. We have no way to repay him, why are you bothering him and asking for more?"

As he spoke, the old man smiled warmly at Chen Tian and said, "Young man, my granddaughter is being naïve. Please don't take it to heart."

Chen Tian sighed, "Your illness is not untreatable."

"Young man, what did you say?" The old man was stunned.

"You… you say my illness can still be treated?"

"Yeah, it will take some effort though," Chen Tian nodded.

The old man was so excited that his hands trembled. He hurriedly grabbed Chen Tian's hands and respectfully said, "If you can really save me, whatever I can do, just ask."

"Uh, are you rich?" Chen Tian curiously asked.

The old man was a bit speechless, nodding repeatedly.

"A bit rich."

Chen Tian secretly thought to himself. This kind of Gu poison wasn't something you encountered every day.

It was truly a difficult disease.

But in the Divine Doctor's secret scroll, there was actually a method to treat it. That was really impressive.

He glanced at the old man again, thinking that cancer chemotherapy costs tens of thousands, so why not try?

"Why not, I'll give you a discount. Eight hundred thousand?"

"Ah…" The girl was also surprised to hear this.

Chen Tian sighed, looking at the girl's pitiful expression, and asked, "So, how much can your family afford for medical treatment?"

"A few days ago, Old Medicine King took a million, saying that with his medicine, he could suppress the bugs in my grandpa's body."

The girl answered honestly.

"What? That old bastard is so shameless?" Chen Tian said, speechless.

The old man waved his hand, clearly amused by Chen Tian, and said in shock, "Young man, do you know Old Medicine King?"

"Of course. He's my benefactor. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made this much money," Chen Tian replied honestly.

However, when this reached the old man's ears, it was chilling.

Who could make money from Old Medicine King?

If it weren't for the abnormal skills Chen Tian had just demonstrated, the old man would never have believed that Chen Tian could cure his Gu poison.

After all, he had already been declared dead, it was just a matter of time.

This kind of poison could only be undone by the person who originally administered it.

The old man smiled broadly, as though seeing a ray of light, and quickly said, "If you can cure me, money is no issue. Eight hundred thousand is far below your worth. I'll give you five million first, and after you cure me, I'll give you another five million."

"Wha—Five million?" Chen Tian was dumbfounded.

One million—this was so much money, he had never seen anything like it.

The old man nodded confidently.

"I swear I will not default on this. And since you've already saved my life, how could this little bit of money repay your kindness? If you need any help in the future, I will never refuse."

"Alright, I'll need to prepare some equipment for the treatment. Shall we set it for tomorrow?"

"No problem, no problem. You can come at any time, young man."

The old man's hands trembled with excitement.

At this moment, a few people quickly arrived in front of the old man.

Before they could speak, the old man gestured for them to stop, then respectfully asked, "Aren't you going home, young man? Let my driver take you back, how about it?"

"Tomorrow, I'll also come to pick you up."

"Then thank you in advance." Chen Tian said.

"No, no, you're too polite, young man." The old man replied.

The old man then arranged for someone to take Chen Tian home.

Just after Chen Tian left, the old man spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Dad, are you alright?" The man who had just arrived looked worried.

"Who is this person? They came to Jiangzhou to assassinate you. I will find them and tear them apart," the middle-aged man said angrily, clenching his fists.

The old man waved his hand and laughed, "That person just now, using the Dragon Claw technique, wasn't one of our enemies, just someone hired for money."

"Luckily, you're fine. Truly a blessing from heaven." The man said, still shocked.

The old man looked at the direction in which Chen Tian had left, amazed.

"If it weren't for meeting this young man, I'd be dead by now. I never expected there were such skilled people in Jiangzhou."

"What? The young guy just now saved you?" The man asked incredulously.

The old man said seriously, "He's no ordinary young man."

The girl immediately added, "That big brother is amazing! I really admire him!"

The old man stroked his white beard meaningfully.

"At such a young age, to have such high skills, I've lived my life and never seen anyone like him."

"Investigate who this young man really is."

"If we could get to know him, we'd be safe in the future."

"Dad, I'll send people to investigate him right away." The man nodded.

"Granddaughter, help me back." The old man said.

The group followed behind respectfully as the old man left.

The old man wasn't just poisoned; his fight with that man had left him severely injured. Now, his condition was worsening.

Chen Tian got into a luxury car. The driver respectfully took him home.

He was eager to tell his sister and mother that he'd found a good job.

But when he arrived at home, the house was empty.

On the table, there was only a piece of paper.

Chen Tian searched around in shock and quickly grabbed it, staring at it as tears welled up in his eyes.

"Tian'er, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I've never told you about your father."

"Once, when you were following the example of other kids, paying respects to your deceased father, I scolded you."

"That's because your father was still alive, just far away."

"I'm leaving now because of your father's matters. I can't explain everything to you."

"Chen Xi followed me. Don't be sad, we'll reunite soon, and I'll tell you everything about your father."

"Don't come looking for us. Marry Su Wanyue, and use the Su family's influence to build your own power."

"Golden scales aren't for just any fish. I believe in my child."

"I hope when we meet again, you won't be ordinary anymore."

"Don't miss us."

When Chen Tian read the last two words, his mind collapsed.

His father wasn't dead?

But why didn't his mother take him with her to search for his father?

Why did she leave him alone in Jiangzhou? What was the reason?

But now, it was too late to ask.

They had been gone for so long.

In Chen Xi's room, there was also a letter for Chen Tian, full of words expressing her reluctance.

"When will we meet again?"

"Mom, why did you do this?"

Chen Tian muttered to himself, deeply pained.

Even if he wanted to chase after them, he had no place to go.

His mother had left nothing but this letter.
