NOVPUBZhao Xing was astonished, having not expected someone to discern his wife’s condition with just one glance, which gave him a feeling akin to witnessing something out of this world.
The middle-aged doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Zhao, there indeed are some extraordinary people in this world, possessing methods that even science cannot explain. The person your wife encountered before is one of such individuals."
"If you are really unwilling to terminate the pregnancy, perhaps you could ask that extraordinary individual for help."
"He could diagnose your wife’s condition with just one look, so he must have a way to treat her."
Though a doctor himself, he was aware that there were some miraculous healers in the world with mystical techniques that could not be scientifically explained.
Zhao Xing looked at his wife, seeking her opinion.
He respected all of his wife’s decisions.
Chu Xiao’s eyes brimmed with tears as she sobbed, "Husband, I don’t want to lose our child."
Zhao Xing nodded solemnly, saying, "Don’t worry, wife. I will definitely find that extraordinary person. Do you remember what he looked like?"
Yu Xiaomin recalled, "I met him near the commercial street. He looked to be around twenty or so, about one meter eighty in height, with a headband and a wooden hairpin stuck in it, very distinctive."
Zhao Xing nodded repeatedly and immediately took out his cellphone, composed a message, and sent it out, asking for help to locate that extraordinary individual.

Chen Nan was reviewing his homework when his phone began to buzz insistently, flashing Wang Guodong’s number, which piqued his interest.
"Could it be that Wang Guodong has found the Nephrite for me?"
Chen Nan suppressed his excitement and answered the call, "President Wang, go ahead."
Wang Guodong’s embarrassed voice came through the phone, "Mr. Chen, I have a friend who seems to be looking for you, hoping you could help his wife."
Chen Nan was confused, "Seems to be looking for me?"
Wang Guodong said, "Yes, he sent a message earlier, hoping we could help find a young man, and the description he provided matches you exactly."
"Also, did you go to the commercial district for lunch before? And did you encounter a pregnant woman vomiting in the parking lot?"
After seeing Zhao Xing’s message, Wang Guodong felt it described Chen Nan, so he made a call to inquire. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
However.
He did not directly reveal that he knew Chen Nan.
That would be too impolite.
Chen Nan suddenly understood, "Oh, you mean that pregnant woman! Indeed, I met her. She’s your friend’s wife?"
Wang Guodong explained, "More precisely, she’s the daughter-in-law of an old acquaintance, and I have been good friends with her father-in-law for many years, although her father-in-law passed away a few years ago."
As he said this, he added another sentence, "My nephew is willing to offer five million for you to intervene, just to ensure the mother and child are safe."
Chen Nan pondered for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Since you’ve asked, I’ll do this as a favor for you!"
Wang Guodong’s heart skipped a beat on the other end of the phone, having expected Chen Nan would joyfully accept the offer, as five million was not a small sum at all!
What he never dreamed was that Chen Nan would agree so reluctantly.
And.
It was only for his sake.
He knew.
This matter was very tricky.
Regaining his composure, Wang Guodong said with immense gratitude, "Mr. Chen, thank you. Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up!"
"Jizhou." Chen Nan added, "Tell the pregnant woman to go home. We’ll go straight to her place."
"Okay," Wang Guodong answered respectfully, and he left the company immediately, instructing the driver to head to Prosperous Prospects. Meanwhile, he dialed Zhao Xing’s number, "Zhao Xing, I’ve managed to get in touch with that reclusive master, and he has agreed to lend a hand to your wife. Take her home now; we’ll gather at your place."
Zhao Xing said excitedly, "Great, great, great, we’re heading home right now."
------
When Wang Guodong’s Bentley arrived at the entrance to Prosperous Prospects, he saw Chen Nan standing at the roadside in a black Taoist robe, which caused his pupils to suddenly contract.
It had been a very long time since he last saw Chen Nan donning a Taoist robe.
For a Taoist cultivator, wearing the robe indicates that some troublesome affair has arisen; otherwise, they would not don such formal attire.
At that moment,
Wang Guodong suddenly realized how much face he had.
Just as the Bentley stopped and he was about to get out and invite Chen Nan in, Chen Nan’s voice rang out, "No need for you to get out, just scoot over."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Wang Guodong hurriedly moved to the rear seat on the left.
Although he was the president of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce,
in front of Chen Nan, he was very restrained.
Because he knew Chen Nan was a genuine reclusive master,
with unfathomable and supernatural methods.
His own pride in wealth and social status was worth nothing in front of him.
After Wang Guodong moved over, Chen Nan sat in the right rear seat and casually closed the car door.
The driver started the vehicle and headed towards Zhao Xing’s home.
"Mr. Chen, do you know about my nephew’s wife’s condition?" Wang Guodong asked anxiously in the Bentley.
Chen Nan said, "When I first encountered that pregnant woman this afternoon, I noticed a strong Evil Qi in her body, extremely dense, severely affecting the fetus’s growth."
"I had intended to inform her of her condition and conveniently help her resolve it, but that pregnant woman regarded me as a filthy rogue, her attitude somewhat aloof."
"So, I gave her a piece of advice, urging her to go to the hospital as soon as possible to abort the fetus."
Wang Guodong couldn’t help but marvel, "Fate is indeed wondrous; if my nephew’s wife had been friendlier towards you, things wouldn’t have come to this."
He did not doubt Chen Nan’s words because he knew Chen Nan to have a warm heart.
The regret,
however, was that Yu Xiaomin was too indifferent to him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have offered five million as a consultancy fee to solicit his help.
Though five million was not much for the Zhao Family, it still meant coming to someone for a favor,
which greatly lowered one’s stance.
Coming back to his senses, Wang Guodong asked curiously, "You mentioned Evil Qi just now? What is that?"
He had heard of Yin Qi.
And also of Sha Qi.
But it was the first time he had heard of Evil Qi.
Chen Nan thought for a moment and said, "Put simply, it’s just as the name suggests, a combination of Yin Qi and Sha Qi, yes, that’s it. However, the conditions for the formation of such Evil Qi are extremely harsh, requiring at least a hundred years."
Wang Guodong frowned slightly, his face full of confusion, "How could a pregnant woman come into contact with such unclean things?"
Chen Nan looked out at the bustling traffic and murmured, "That is also what I’m curious about. However, once we see that pregnant woman, the truth will reveal itself."
