During the conference, Ye Chen's vivid speech made a great impression on Li Nianwei, inexplicably making her want to get closer to Ye Chen.

"Li Nianwei, are you thinking of offering yourself to him?" Li Yan suddenly said.

"..." Li Nianwei's face stiffened.

"I've seen many newcomers like you. Are you trying to hook up with the company boss to climb the ladder?" the female anchor sneered.

"I'm not shameless like you!" Li Nianwei instantly became angry. "I'm a principled woman, not like you, who would do anything to achieve her goals!"

"What did you say!" Li Yan shouted.

"Oh, cut the act!" Li Nianwei scoffed.

"This woman is so rude!" the female anchor almost turned into an angry bird.

"We're not like her, this is just because you're envious and jealous." When Ye Chen saw Li Yan losing his temper, he kept trying to appease her.

"Hmph!" the female anchor was very displeased.

"Acting all noble, I've seen many like you." Li Nianwei also coldly said.

Zhang Xinlan had declared herself to be Ye Chen's sister-in-law, and Ye Chen had confirmed it publicly at the conference, so the relationship between the female anchor and the big boss must definitely be impure.

"You impolite newcomer!" Li Yan nearly died of anger. "I've been in this industry for ten years and I've never been spoken to like that."

"You are a senior, you have manners!" Li Nianwei mocked. "I simply wanted to thank Ye Chen for saving my life, and you just slander me on a whim, is that what you call manners?!"

"You, a newcomer, proactively getting to know the big boss, and you still pretend to be pure?!" Li Yan coldly said.

"I'm already pure, why would I need to pretend?" Li Nianwei was fiercely combative; as a small model who had been coveted for her beauty, she had often had to fend off people, so she had extraordinary fighting strength.

"You!" Li Yan wanted to continue the clash with Li Nianwei, but Ye Chen dragged him away forcefully.

"She's a newcomer, you're a senior, by stooping to her level, aren't you lowering yourself?" Ye Chen hugged the female anchor and kissed her, saying.

"But, but I'm just so angry!" the female anchor stomped her foot in anger.

"Ye Chen, there's a big problem!"

While Ye Chen was persuading Li Yan, Zhang Xinlan hung up the phone and hurriedly ran over.

"What happened?" Ye Chen asked.

"Liu Shihua had an accident. Let's rush to the airport and catch tonight's flight back to the mainland!" Zhang Xinlan said gravely.

"Liu Shihua, what happened to her!" Ye Chen became anxious.

Liu Shihua was supposed to come to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan tomorrow. How could something happen now that required their urgent return to the mainland to assist? Could it be that the megastar got into a fight with a primary school student, necessitating Ye Chen's expertise to handle the situation?

"I don't have time to explain now, I managed to get two flight tickets. Let's drive to the airport now; we'll miss the flight if we're late." Zhang Xinlan pulled Ye Chen and ran towards the parking lot.

"Hey, what about me if you leave!" Li Yan suddenly became anxious.

Zhang Xinlan hurried as if she had to rush home to feed her child. The female anchor, left pitifully behind, was so beautiful and charming, and with so many bad people outside, how could they not worry?

"Li Yan, go to the hotel and say that Ye Chen and I have urgent business to deal with and can't attend the hotel's celebration." Zhang Xinlan shouted to Li Yan. "And don't forget to pay the bill for the drinks for me!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xinlan disappeared with Ye Chen.

"..." Li Yan's face turned sour, as Zhang Xinlan not only had taken Ye Chen away but also left her behind and made her pay the bill. That woman was too shrewd, too detestable.

...

"Xinlan, what exactly happened?" Ye Chen asked while driving. "Did something happen to Liu Shihua?"

They were currently on the way to the airport, yet Ye Chen still hadn't grasped what had actually occurred.

"It's not that Liu Shihua had an incident, but her father did, Mr. Liu is critically ill!" Zhang Xinlan said gravely.

"Uh," Ye Chen was at a loss for words, then he bitterly smiled. "So why are we going to the mainland, to see my future father-in-law's last moments?"

"Be serious!" Zhang Xinlan was somewhat somber. "Do you remember when you first came to work as our bodyguard and we were in Longcheng? I think I took you out for fun, and when we returned, we found Liu Shihua in a deep unending sleep!"

"It seems there was such a time!" Ye Chen blinked and said.

"You said back then that Liu Shihua's endless sleep was a disease, that she might wake up eventually, or might even die in her sleep," Zhang Xinlan looked at Ye Chen. "You also said it was hereditary, right?"

"Did Liu Shihua's father also fall into that deep sleep?" Ye Chen seemed to understand something.

"Exactly!" Zhang Xinlan said solemnly.

"Liu Shihua was supposed to be arriving in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan today, and her mother went to the airport to see her off. Due to the flight delay, she didn't return."

"When they returned home from the airport, they discovered Liu Shihua's father was still deeply asleep, and that's when they noticed something was wrong with Mr. Liu!"

"No matter how much they called to Mr. Liu, he wouldn't wake up, just like a vegetative state, yet the hospital found nothing abnormal."

Zhang Xinlan slowly explained everything, her expression grave. This was indeed a serious matter.

"Deep sleep syndrome is like this, difficult to detect with modern medicine," Ye Chen said. "How long has Liu Shihua's father been in this state?"

"One day and one night!" Zhang Xinlan said. "Liu Shihua had the same illness, but you cured her. Now that her father is also unconscious and the most authoritative hospitals are unable to help, Liu Shihua thought of you to come back to the mainland to awaken her father."

"It's good then, we wake up Liu Shihua's father and can also bring the big star back to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan," Ye Chen's expression eased, thinking there had been some major incident, not expecting it to be Liu Shihua's father falling into a deep sleep.

Deep sleep syndrome, challenging for modern doctors, was quite simple for Ye Chen, merely requiring stimulation of specific brain nerve areas with True Qi.

"I hope things are as simple as you say," Zhang Xinlan sighed softly, a kind of indescribable worry appearing.

"Xinlan, you don't need to worry so much. Deep sleep syndrome might be an incurable disease for modern medicine, but for me, they are just minor issues!" Ye Chen laughed.

Zhang Xinlan's face was solemn, seemingly worried about something, which made Ye Chen smile and start to persuade her not to worry.

"Ye Chen, you're too optimistic," Zhang Xinlan exhaled heavily. "Let me tell you a harsh reality."

"Harsh?" Ye Chen was stunned.

"To you, it's a blow and a challenge!" Zhang Xinlan spoke earnestly, seriously, and somberly.

"Maybe you shouldn't say it, your expression is making me scared," Ye Chen said awkwardly.

"I must say, or you might die without peace," Zhang Xinlan said.

"That serious?" Ye Chen exclaimed.

"It's that serious!" Zhang Xinlan affirmed seriously.
