"What is this?" Jeff didn't dare lay a hand on Su Xuan. He eyed the round pill in Su Xuan's hand and asked, "Are you planning to feed that to Mr. Richard?"

"No." A sly smile suddenly curled at the corners of Su Xuan's mouth as he swung his fist toward Jeff.

Jeff hadn't anticipated an attack from Su Xuan and hastily raised his arms to block.

CRACK!

The sound of a bone breaking rang out instantly! Accompanied by intense pain, the muscles on Jeff's face twisted in agony.

The surrounding bodyguards quickly drew their guns and aimed them at Su Xuan.

Alice, unsure why Su Xuan had lashed out so harshly at Jeff, exclaimed in surprise, "Su Xuan, don't hit him!"

Ignoring everyone, Su Xuan grabbed Jeff by the neck, lifted him high into the air, and slammed another punch into his ribs. Another sharp crack echoed through the room.

THUD!

Su Xuan dropped Jeff on the ground and turned to Richard. "For an injury like this, how long would your advanced medical technology take to heal it?"

"At least three months!" Richard replied, his expression stern.

His eyes filled with apprehension. He hadn't expected Su Xuan's martial arts to be so domineering, disabling Jeff as if it were child's play. He was a completely different person from their last encounter at the Hua Xia airport!

"With me, it only takes one day."

Su Xuan stuffed the round pill into Jeff's mouth. Then, clutching the brocade bag, he retreated to Alice's side.

Alice anxiously grabbed Su Xuan's hand.

She subconsciously felt the situation was going south. Su Xuan had beaten Jeff so badly—how could he possibly heal in a day? If he didn't, her father, in his rage, might do something extremely detrimental to Su Xuan!

Just as she feared, Richard's voice grew hoarse with anger in the next second. "Su Xuan, you forced your way into my home and then attacked one of my men right in front of me. According to our laws, I could have you killed on the spot without any issue…"

"Quiet," Su Xuan said, raising a hand to interrupt him. His gaze was fixed on Jeff, who was lying on the ground.

Jeff, who had been writhing in agony just moments before, had suddenly grown calm. His expression was strange, and faint, peculiar sounds emanated from his body.

"Jeff, what's happening?" Richard had noticed the change as well and asked urgently.

"Boss, I feel… so comfortable. It's like I'm soaking in a hot spring in Iceland, every pore opening up…" Jeff said, a look of pure bliss on his face. "It's also like sunbathing on a beach in the Maldives, my whole body is so warm…"

"Does your injury not hurt anymore?" Richard pressed.

"Not at all…" Jeff shook his head. "It's as if I was never injured in the first place…"

Upon hearing this, Richard immediately focused his attention on the brocade bag in Su Xuan's hand. He wasn't the only one; everyone else present also stared intently at the bag.

They were all desperately curious about what miraculous thing Su Xuan had given Jeff.

Su Xuan remained calm, completely unsurprised by the turn of events.

After all, Long Xiwén had been hit hard by Lu Dongshan, suffering fractures far more severe than Jeff's. Yet, after taking one of Qi Li's pills, she had been up and about in less than a day. Jeff was in better physical condition than Long Xiwén, so his recovery should be even faster.

But what happened next surprised even him.

"I… I think I'm fine now!"

Jeff suddenly pushed himself up from the floor and stood on his own two feet.

The sight shocked Richard so much that he nearly shot up from his wheelchair.

The reason Jeff could stand so quickly wasn't that he was fully healed, but that the pill had completely suppressed his pain. Besides, Su Xuan hadn't struck a crippling blow; he had only caused fractures, and the pill was now rapidly mending the bones.

"Su Xuan!" Richard's voice suddenly… turned gentle.

His gaze softened as well, though it remained fixed on the brocade pouch in Su Xuan's hand. Licking his lips, Richard asked, "Can you give me one of those pills?"

"Don't just take them recklessly," Su Xuan said, as if coaxing a child. "Your condition seems to be a type of bone hyperplasia. My medicine promotes bone growth, so taking it without a proper diagnosis could very well worsen your condition."

"Hmm, Su Xuan has a point," Alice nodded in agreement and said to Richard, "You should wait until Su Xuan finds the correct medicine for your ailment before taking anything."

As she looked at Su Xuan again, her gaze held not just admiration but also profound respect and curiosity. Where had he obtained such a miraculous pill? She had never seen him with anything like it when she was in Hua Xia.

"Su Xuan, which company in Hua Xia produces this medicine?" Richard, clearly unable to sit still, asked anxiously. "Do they have a branch here? Can you help me contact them right away?"

"From the mountains," Su Xuan said, looking at Richard with an inscrutable expression. "It is produced by the 'mountain world' of Hua Xia. Their medicinal arts are inherited from the Taoist tradition, something beyond secular understanding."

"Mountain world?" Richard didn't understand the term, but he had heard of Taoism, and Su Xuan's words suddenly seemed shrouded in mystery.

"They aren't a company," Su Xuan continued. "Ordinary people can't make contact with them, let alone obtain their medicine."

"So only you can get it?" Richard clenched his fists, desperate to find a cure for his condition.

"You could say that," Su Xuan replied.

"Find me the medicine!" Richard demanded forcefully. "I'll pay any price!"

He didn't want to die. He wanted to live for a few more years. He wanted to expand his financial empire even further. And he wanted… Glancing between his daughter and Su Xuan, he realized he also wanted to hold his grandchildren sooner rather than later. And he had to admit, his daughter and Su Xuan looked quite good together. Besides, Su Xuan was an exceptional talent, worth a hundred billion US dollars at such a young age, making him several times more accomplished than Richard himself had been at that age. If Richard were to look in a mirror at that moment, he would see his own expression screaming one thing: He was eating his words, and they were delicious. This future son-in-law was a true prize!

"In that case…" Su Xuan said leisurely, "you'll have to come with me to Hua Xia. That's the only way I can get them to diagnose your illness and prescribe the right medicine."

"What about having them come here?" Richard asked.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." Su Xuan's expression turned peculiar. "To be honest, our relationship is complicated. We actually got to know each other through a conflict. I don't have enough sway to ask them to travel across the ocean just to treat you."

"Then… then…" Richard's face grew somber as he pondered, his fingers tapping continuously on the armrest of his wheelchair. He seemed deeply conflicted.

Alice, who seemed to understand her father's dilemma, approached him with a charming smile. "Then let's take a trip to Hua Xia," she said softly. "You can get treatment there, and I can still receive your guidance anytime. Besides, Su Xuan is a billionaire himself, so his business insights are probably just as sharp as yours. With both of you helping me, I'll learn much faster! That would also put my mind at ease and help me stay focused."

Listening to his daughter, Richard enunciated each word with decision.

"Prepare the private jet! I'm going to Hua Xia!"
