Chen Jie then looked at He Yufei.
"He Yufei, what's going on with your mother?"
He Yufei immediately lowered her head, looking crestfallen.
She said to Chen Jie, "No, it's nothing."
"He Yufei, we're classmates. If you're really in trouble, feel free to tell me. It's okay," Chen Jie said.
He Yufei said with insecurity, "My mother has muscular dystrophy and needs some expensive medication for relief."
Chen Jie's face immediately showed sympathy.
Muscular dystrophy was a degenerative disease, almost impossible to cure with current medicine.
"Chen Jie, c-can I ask you for a favor?" He Yufei looked at Chen Jie and said.
"Of course, I promise!" Chen Jie replied.
"I heard people say that there's a divine doctor Chen in Pingcheng recently, and he can cure illnesses that are considered incurable! So, I'd like to ask you to help me find out the identity of this divine doctor Chen," He Yufei said.
Chen Jie was taken aback.
A divine doctor surnamed Chen? He hadn't heard of such a person.
"Where did you get the news? Tell me more about this divine doctor Chen," Chen Jie said.
"Well, I got it from some rumors. They say this person's main profession isn't healing people, but rather being a feng shui master who helps others with their geomancy."
He Yufei said with difficulty, "I know asking you for this favor is too much, but my mother is in great pain now. Even with medication, she probably won't last much longer. This is my only hope. Chen Jie, if you help me with this, I'll agree to any condition!"
Chen Jie was surprised to realize that the person He Yufei was talking about was very likely himself.
Thinking about it now, it wasn't surprising that his reputation had spread.
Since the masters like Yi Zhentian and Zhou Shu were acquainted with him and knew his abilities, it was normal for the news to get out.
"Hahaha… Miss He, I'm afraid Master Chen cannot help you with this favor," Xiao Ding said with a laugh.
"Ah? Y-yes, I'm sorry, I was too forward," He Yufei said, feeling awkward, thinking Xiao Ding was rejecting her on Chen Jie's behalf.
Xiao Ding said, "Because the divine doctor Chen you're looking for is the Chen Jie standing right in front of you. You've already met him, so why would you need him to help?"
He Yufei's body trembled slightly, and she then looked at Chen Jie in disbelief.
Chen Jie smiled and nodded, "I'll help you cure Auntie's illness."
"Th-thank you, I don't know what to say…" He Yufei stammered excitedly.
"If you don't know what to say, then offer yourself in marriage!" Xiao Ding teased.
He Yufei's face instantly turned as red as a beet.
She stole a glance at Chen Jie and then clenched her fists.
Chen Jie was so handsome, and his status was so high. If she offered herself to him, she would likely be the one gaining the advantage.
If Chen Jie were to make such a request, she would be willing to agree!
"How about this, eating is a small matter, saving a life is a big one. You go back and have your mother prepare. After Xiao Boss and I finish eating, we'll come over to your place," Chen Jie suggested.
"Yes, yes, Chen Jie, I'll go back and have my mother get ready now," He Yufei said, standing up excitedly.
Xiao Ding waved his hand and instructed the waiter, "Go, pack some food and drinks for Miss He to take back."
"Yes!"
After He Yufei left, Xiao Ding thanked Chen Jie profusely, showing him great respect.
At the same time, upon learning about the Tang family's cooperation with Chen Jie on jadeite supply, he proposed to act as an agent for Chen Jie's protective artifacts.
As Chen Jie's protective artifacts became more renowned, the demand would increase, and the business would certainly boom.
Xiao Ding had the means to sell Chen Jie's protective artifacts nationwide.
However, Chen Jie had already entrusted the sales of his protective artifacts to Zhou Wei and had no intention of switching to cooperate with Xiao Ding.
"How about this, I'll occasionally craft a permanent protective artifact, and then you can auction it at your auction house!" Chen Jie finally said to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding's face lit up with joy. He raised a glass, "Then, I'll wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance!"
"It's getting late. I need to go to He Yufei's place. That's all for today," Chen Jie said, taking a sip of his drink and setting the cup down.
"Master Chen, I'll escort you," Xiao Ding said, standing up.
The three of them walked downstairs. The waiters and managers who personally served the boss also followed Chen Jie downstairs in a grand procession.
During this time, Tang Ruotong quietly followed beside Chen Jie, not saying a word.
Outside the hotel, more than a dozen luxury cars arrived.
With a roar of engines, these luxury cars surrounded the Ding Sheng Hotel.
Inside the hotel, as Chen Jie was being escorted to the entrance, he saw this scene.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ding frowned and asked the manager on the first floor.
"Boss, I don't know either. These people refuse to communicate with us; they're just blocking the entrance with their cars," the manager said with a distressed expression.
From the leading brand-new luxury car, Yin Manman, wearing sunglasses and a cold expression, stepped out.
As she appeared, several men emerged from the cars.
They were the male classmates who had been kicked out earlier.
As for the female classmates, they had already finished their meal and left.
"Yin Manman, you really don't know your place!" Chen Jie said coldly.
He naturally realized that these luxury cars were called by Yin Manman.
Yin Manman sneered, "How do I not know my place? No matter how ruthless you are, are you going to kill me, a mere bystander?"
Clearly, she said this because she was afraid Chen Jie would go mad and try to kill her.
She had just tasted the thrill of being a rich young lady and didn't want to lose everything she had gained.
Therefore, she became very cautious and valued her life. Even though she knew she couldn't compare to Chen Jie, she still didn't dare to confront him directly.
Because if she failed, it would cost her life.
"Are you implying that these people have nothing to do with you?" Chen Jie frowned.
"That's right. Miss Yin is just here to watch the show. All of this has nothing to do with Miss Yin."
From a Cayenne behind, the car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a Tang suit stepped out.
Following him, dozens of people emerged from the more than ten luxury cars, completely surrounding the area.
The man in the Tang suit saw Chen Jie and immediately shouted, "Are you Chen Jie?"
Before Chen Jie could answer, Xiao Ding exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Su Feng's father, Su Neng?"
Chen Jie's brow immediately furrowed.
Su Feng was the member of the Su family he had encountered with Wang Xiaoyan at the Ding Sheng Auction House that day.
At that time, he was killed by Kong Lou, and Chen Jie hadn't saved him.
At the same time, Chen Jie had also received a death threat from him.
Chen Jie understood immediately and looked at Su Neng, "Are you here for your son?"
"Kid, I ask you, why did my son die?" Su Neng said coldly.
