"Li Fei, thank you!" After Hu Qinghai was taken away, Deng Fangzhen looked at Lin Fei and said with sincere gratitude, "A few days ago, you saved my granddaughter, preserving her dignity."

"And now you've saved me and prevented the shares of the Deng Corporation from falling into the hands of the scoundrel Hu Qinghai. You are truly a great benefactor to the Deng family."

Master Deng had already learned from Deng Yuan about the specific details of how Lin Fei saved him.

So, his tone was filled with gratitude toward Lin Fei.

Deng Yuan and his wife, Deng Han, also looked at Lin Fei with eyes full of gratitude.

Deng Ziyu saw that her family admired Lin Fei greatly, and she felt very happy.

"Master Deng, you're too kind. It was just a small effort," Lin Fei said very modestly.

Then, Lin Fei furrowed his brow slightly and said, "However, besides trying to frame Master Deng and seize Deng Corporation's assets, I wonder if Hu Qinghai has other plots. Master Deng must be cautious."

Master Deng nodded: "Young Master Li is right, but with people from Wuqing Pavilion around, Hu Qinghai will reveal everything, no matter how hard-hearted he is."

Lin Fei had already guessed that Wuqing Pavilion was a secret expert organization of the Deng family, a force used to protect the Deng family and eliminate their enemies.

"Please have a seat, Young Master Li." Master Deng gestured to the sofa in the bedroom, politely inviting Lin Fei.

Lin Fei nodded, and Deng Ziyu led him to sit on the sofa.

Deng Yuan and his wife, Deng Han, and Chen Lin also sat down on the sofa.

Deng Yuan instructed a servant to serve tea.

The servant poured tea for everyone and placed it on the table in front of each person.

Then, the servant carried a small tray with a cup of tea to the bedside and said to Master Deng, "Master, please have some tea."

Deng Fangzhen picked up the tea cup and said to the servant, "You can leave now; I'll call you if anything comes up."

"Yes, Master." The servant respectfully exited the bedroom.

Master Deng took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Fei, saying, "Young Master Li, you're so young, yet your medical skills are so advanced. May I know who you learned from?"

Lin Fei replied, "Master Deng, you flatter me. My master is just an unknown old doctor. I happened to learn the Heart-devouring Flame extraction technique, which is not particularly advanced."

Master Deng knew very well that Lin Fei extracting the Heart-devouring Flame from his heart couldn't be so simple. It required the integration of medical skills and cultivation techniques, a complex process to extract the flame with bare hands.

This showed that Lin Fei's master must have a notable background, and Lin Fei's medical skills were also deeply hidden.

However, Lin Fei said his master was merely an unknown doctor and claimed his medical skills were not advanced, so Master Deng did not expose the truth.

Since Lin Fei was so discreet, Master Deng did not continue to press for details.

"I see, it seems your master truly guided you well to produce such a skilled disciple," Master Deng praised with a smile.

Master Deng and Lin Fei exchanged polite conversations for a few moments.

Just then, the two bodyguards who had taken Hu Qinghai away returned, escorting Hu Qinghai back.

The escorted Hu Qinghai seemed like a different person, his face was swollen and bruised, with blood at the corner of his mouth.

Moreover, Lin Fei felt no Inner Qi from Hu Qinghai, instantly realizing that Hu Qinghai's martial arts might have been abolished.

"Master, Hu Qinghai says he has something to say," the two bodyguards said to Master Deng.

Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder: Has Hu Qinghai confessed so quickly?

Master Deng fixed his gaze on Hu Qinghai's face and said, "Hu Qinghai, are you finally willing to talk? If you'd spoken earlier, you wouldn't have suffered in Wuqing Pavilion."

Hu Qinghai hung his head silently, looking utterly dejected like a prisoner.

The haughty demeanor of the once prestigious Medical King in the Capital City was utterly absent, revealing the formidable interrogation methods of Wuqing Pavilion.

"Speak, what do you want to tell me?" Master Deng asked, looking at Hu Qinghai.

Hu Qinghai slowly raised his head, looking at Master Deng, and said, "If I tell you that I know something, would you possibly release me?"

Master Deng replied calmly, "That depends on whether what you say is important enough for me to consider releasing you."

Hu Qinghai hastily said, "Master Deng, what I have to say is really important. I know my senior brother Marquis Wuying has a plan. He is using you to make Elder Chen take a highly toxic fake Dragon Saliva Pill and has called upon Hidden Kill Young Master and Liang Yunhu to severely injure you and Master Liu."

"Hu Qinghai, I already know what you've just said. If there's nothing else, you can return to Wuqing Pavilion to reflect," Deng Fangzhen said with an unchanged expression.

Hu Qinghai's face changed at the mention of returning to Wuqing Pavilion, and he immediately said, "Master Deng, please don't send me back to Wuqing Pavilion; I haven't finished speaking. My senior brother Marquis Wuying plans to go to the Chen family tonight to exchange the antidote for Lin Zheng's female disciple rescued by the Chen family."

This news made the four members of Deng Fangzhen's family, as well as Chen Lin, assume a serious demeanor.

Even Lin Fei became intensely focused when he heard the mention of Lin Zheng's female disciple, finally learning of his senior sister's whereabouts.

"Is what you're saying true?" Deng Fangzhen asked, his gaze fixed intensely on Hu Qinghai.

"Master Deng, my life is in your hands; how dare I deceive you?" Hu Qinghai replied in a panicked tone.

"I don't suppose you dare to. If I find out you're lying, you'll regret it deeply," Deng Fangzhen said, then instructed the two bodyguards: "Take him away!"

"Yes, Master." The two bodyguards immediately escorted Hu Qinghai away.

"Chen Lin, Marquis Wuying is coming to your home tonight; is your father prepared?" Deng Fangzhen asked, looking at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin responded confidently, "Although Marquis Wuying is among the top ten martial artists in the Capital City, our Chen family is not easily bullied. My grandfather is at the base, protected not only by the army but also by our Chen family elite Dragon Thorns secretly safeguarding him."

"Not to mention Marquis Wuying, even if all the experts of Hidden Kill come, they won't be able to harm my grandpa at all."

Deng Fangzhen nodded and said, "Yes, the military might and the Chen family's Dragon Thorns are indeed unafraid of Marquis Wuying."

"But if we could catch Marquis Wuying off guard and obtain the antidote from him, it would be greatly beneficial to save your grandfather's life."

"Grandpa Deng, we certainly won't let Marquis Wuying escape tonight; we'll get the antidote no matter what," Chen Lin said resolutely.

Deng Fangzhen nodded: "I will send out half of the Wuqing Pavilion experts to assist you, firstly to avenge the fake Dragon Saliva Pill given by Marquis Wuying, secondly to retaliate for the ambush by Hidden Kill Young Master and Liang Yunhu that severely injured me and Liu Yunzhen, and thirdly to show Marquis Wuying, Liang Yunhu, and the Hidden Kill people that our Chen, Deng, and Liu families are not easy to bully."

Chen Lin, Deng Yuan, and others looked highly encouraged.

"Master Deng, Young Master Chen, you've mentioned that Elder Chen is poisoned; could I possibly take a look?" At this moment, Lin Fei addressed Deng Fangzhen and Chen Lin.

Chen Lin and Deng Fangzhen's eyes lit up, finally remembering Lin Fei's advanced medical skills.

After all, Lin Fei had just saved Deng Fangzhen.

"Li Fei, if you could treat my grandfather, it would be wonderful," Chen Lin said eagerly, unable to conceal his happiness.
