After the paper man revealed the truth, Huang Xiaolong returned Qiu Xuan’s soul to his body, knowing that if the soul stayed separated for too long, Qiu Xuan would suffer from a severe illness.

Huang Xiaolong had no intention of harming Qiu Xuan; a wicked person would be ground down by their wicked deeds.

With his soul returned to his body, Qiu Xuan shook his head, coming to his senses. He started crying loudly, kneeling and hugging Chairman Qiu’s leg, sobbing hysterically. “Father, I was wrong… I was blinded… I was out of my mind to do such a crazy thing… Father, please forgive me and give me another chance… It’s all mom’s fault… She seduced me again and again… Forgive me this time, I will never dare to do it again…”

The beautiful young woman turned pale, her voice trembling. “Qiu Xuan! You bastard! I seduced you? It was you who tempted me… Darling, forgive me, I had no other choice. Forgive me!”

She burst into tears, begging for mercy, then also knelt down, abandoning all her dignity. In front of everyone, she kowtowed to Chairman Qiu.

Chairman Qiu’s face was frosty, the muscles around his eyes twitching uncontrollably. His eyes filled with a cold, murderous intent. He didn’t react immediately, but coldly said to Hong Quantao, “Quantao, lend me a couple of your men to drag them out.”

“Of course, Chairman Qiu.” Hong Quantao pulled out his phone and made a call. Soon, several fierce-faced security guards stormed in and dragged both Qiu Xuan and the beautiful young woman away.

Chairman Qiu sighed, mocking himself, “I’ve lost face today… It’s true, outsiders will always be outsiders, not like one’s own children. One can guard against an enemy in front, but not a traitor in the family.”

“Chairman Qiu, no need to consider any old feelings for such a traitor. Just cut him off—” An old man, about the same age as Chairman Qiu, looked ruthless, making a cutting gesture with his right hand.

“I’ll handle it.” Chairman Qiu nodded his head. Then, he turned to Huang Xiaolong, standing up with a shaky effort. “Young man, my sincerest thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, I may still be in the dark, indirectly aiding these adulterous accomplices. If I have offended you earlier, I hope you understand. And, your technique was truly amazing… a talking paper figure, this is truly a miracle. I’ve never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.”

“Hehe, it’s just a little trick,” Huang Xiaolong said, sitting down with Su

Xiaoman on the mahogany sofa. “Chairman Qiu, please sit down. It was the least we could do. We country folks just can’t stand such disgusting acts.” At this point, everyone in the room focused all attention on Huang Xiaolong.

Amazement! Admiration! Adoration! Praise!

Their impression of Huang Xiaolong completely changed!

Any previous disdain or contempt was thrown out the window, as they looked at Huang Xiaolong with new eyes—

“Amazing! Master, that was incredibly cool!”

“Sage! Master, you are truly a sage!”

“Master, you are really brilliant!”

“Master’s supposedly small trick, to us, is truly an extraordinary masterpiece!”

The supernatural is usually regarded as a myth or a legend that only rarely witnesses. Therefore, having witnessed his powers, the shock was unmatched, even overthrowing their previous beliefs!

All the people in this private room were wealthy tycoons from the high society of Binhai. Now they all seemed ready to bow to Huang Xiaolong.

Scarcity makes something valuable, and so it goes for people too.

Seeing this, both Hong Quantao and Zou Shi wore proud smiles, thinking to themselves ‘Now do you all see his worth?’

Su Xiaoman was utterly enchanted, looking at Huang Xiaolong with unabashed admiration.

Hong Quantao seized this opportunity to say, “Everyone, the Divine Doctor is a remarkable man, a rarity! If you have any difficulties, feel free to ask the Divine Doctor for his help. Here’s a secret I’d like to share with you — this exceptional figure is the Divine Doctor himself!”

The room fell silent at these words.

The news of Lin Jing’s miraculous recovery had already spread among the upper echelons of Binhai. Rumor had it that the person who saved her was a divine, immortal being capable of resurrecting the dead and reanimating the bones!

No one in the room had expected that this was Huang Xiaolong’s doing!

If Hong Quantao had announced this when Huang Xiaolong first entered the room, perhaps no one would have believed him, dismissing him as a fraud. But now, after witnessing Huang Xiaolong’s abilities, everyone was convinced!

Just at this moment!

“Divine Doctor! Save me!” A weak, ill sounding voice rang out.

Looking towards the sound, they saw a man in his forties, his face pale as paper, filled with a sickly look, his figure extremely emaciated. To describe him as skin and bones wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

The most peculiar thing was his back… yes, he had a hunched back.

Not just a hunch, but a severe one as if bent at almost ninety degrees. It looked as though a mountain was pressing on him, heaving under the unbearable weight.

“Divine Doctor, please save me. This hump…it’s getting more painful day by day, it’s killing me…” The hunchbacked man pleaded, with a sorrowful look on his face.

Hong Quantao stepped forward, whispering to Huang Xiaolong. “Divine Doctor, this is Boss Xu of ‘Double Dragon Furniture’. He used to be a lively man, but suddenly, due to a strange illness a few years ago, his back bent overnight. He became increasingly emaciated. He has sought treatment domestically and internationally; who knows how much money he has spent. However, not only he wasn’t able to treat it, but many renowned hospitals couldn’t even find the cause of his condition.

Boss Xu’s strange illness had stirred astonishment within the circles, everyone knew. He’d tried all renowned hospitals of developed countries like the U.S, Canada, Germany, but to no avail. So, everyone had a sense of resignation about Boss Xu’s condition.

Now, with Boss Xu seeking help from Huang Xiaolong, everyone in the private room was filled with anticipation, eager to see whether Huang Xiaolong’s medical skills were as invincible as rumored.

After all, the notion of him healing Hong Quantao, Zou Shi, Lin Jing, remained hearsay as no one had actually witnessed it.

“Eh…” Huang Xiaolong looked at Boss Xu carefully and immediately sensed a slight chilly aura entwining his body.

Huang Xiaolong pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly saw an old plump woman clinging to Xu’s back, her arms around his neck.

A ghost!

Boss Xu had been carrying a ghost!

No wonder his back was severely bent. Unsurprisingly, hospitals couldn’t figure it out at all. This wasn’t an illness!

However, the old woman’s ghost had a benevolent look in her eyes rather than resentment, instead, it was filled with affection. Her gaze towards Xu revealed a sense of indulgence.

It was as if a loving mother was looking at her beloved child!

‘Oh, I get it. This old woman is probably Xu’s mother who, after her death, could not let go of her son. She lingered in the mortal world due to her profound motherly love. Due to this, she hadn’t harmed anyone. But it’s not right. If a person has too much contact with the afterlife, their vitality will gradually decline. For instance, Xu’s mother has actually been drawing on Xu’s vitality to nourish her ghostly entity. As her son becomes increasingly thin, she has been nourished to become plumper. In this way, Xu will die from exhaustion within two years—

“Erm… Boss Xu, right?” Huang Xiaolong calculated in his mind, “This illness of yours, I can treat. I can heal you in half an hour. The fee is 5000 yuan. Do you wish to proceed?”

Bang!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves!

A mysterious illness that confounded doctors both domestically and internationally, Huang Xiaolong could cure it in just half an hour?

The fee???????? only 5000 yuan!

Everyone in the private room was stupefied and dumbfounded!

Some couldn’t help but doubt Huang Xiaolong.

People might believe that Huang Xiaolong could cure Xu’s hump, but treating it in half an hour seemed impossible!

“1…1…” Even Boss Xu himself was doubtful, but, he gritted his teeth and decided to go for it. “Divine Doctor, I want the treatment! I will pay the 5000 yuan!” “Good!” Huang Xiaolong stood up, rolling up his sleeves. “Let’s get to work!”

He took a talisman out of his pocket. “Those with a faint heart should leave the room at once. If you get frightened later, I will not take responsibility.”

Everyone in the room shared a look of doubt, glancing at each other, but nobody left.

Huang Xiaolong turned to look at Su Xiaoman. “Sister Xiaoman, there might be some scary stuff later. If you are scared, you can wait for me outside.”

“I’m not scared. As long as Little Long is here, I have nothing to fear,” Su Xiaoman replied with a determined look in her eyes.

“Well then–” Huang Xiaolong flicked his hand, and the talisman self-ignited.

A streak of golden light flashed across the private room.
