"Chief, is it like in the TV dramas—a single needle can cure all diseases?" Kang Xiaozhuobo asked curiously.
"It can certainly cure all diseases, but my skill is limited," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Chinese medicine is vast and profound. To say acupuncture can cure all illnesses is even an understatement, but those who truly master this art and refine it are few and far between."
"Oh..." Kang Xiaozhuobo nodded. "Then Xiaofen's illness..."
"Her illness is mainly psychological. If we guide her properly, she should recover," Wei Zhao said.
Kang Xiaozhuobo was only curious. Hearing Wei Zhao's words, he stopped pursuing the topic. "Chief, why did you pull me away? I was still hoping to wait for Xiaofen to wake up..."
"Didn't you see how unstable she is right now? Seeing you reminds her of Kang Zhaoming?" Wei Zhao said. "When she wakes up, do you want her to have another episode?"
"This..." Kang Xiaozhuobo was taken aback. Why hadn't he thought of that? Indeed, both of Xiaofen's fits had been triggered by seeing him.
"We'll come again once she's emotionally stable," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh, so where are we going now? Back to have the barbecue?" Kang Xiaozhuobo asked.
"Eat what? Tang Yun is still in the hospital—how can you have the nerve to go back and eat?" Wei Zhao said with a wry smile. "Some other time."
"True... but today wasn't without its gains..." Kang Xiaozhuobo was quite excited about having had "intimate" contact with Lan Fen today.
"What is that Kang Zhaoming to you?" Wei Zhao asked suddenly after they got in the car.
Earlier, when Liu Xinwen had mentioned the name "Kang Zhaoming," Wei Zhao had noticed that Kang Xiaozhuobo's expression was off. The man also bore a resemblance to Kang Xiaozhuobo, and both had the surname Kang, so it wasn't hard to infer that the two were related.
"Chief..." Kang Xiaozhuobo clenched his fist. "To tell you the truth, he's the one I told you about—my great-uncle's youngest grandson, my older second cousin."
"That's roughly what I guessed." Wei Zhao nodded. "Xiaozhuobo, what do you think?"
"I..." Kang Xiaozhuobo lowered his head and fell silent.
Wei Zhao didn't urge him to answer, quietly continuing to drive.

Inside Gu Mengyao's villa.
"Xu Shilan's concert was really brilliant—if only we could have been there in person!" Shen Yushu turned off the TV, still relishing the moment. "Yaoyao, why don't you talk to Uncle Chu and ask him to sponsor Xu Shilan to put on a concert for us here?"
"Daddy's company isn't some children's playhouse—how can we mess around like that?" Gu Mengyao swatted Shen Yushu. "Little Shu, are you really all tits and no brains?"
"My breasts aren't big—it's yours that are too small, Yaoyao! Qiu Lingshan's are the ones that are really big!" How could Shen Yushu ever admit to having a deformed figure? Hers was the standard.
"What do you mean mine are too small? What if I just developed later?" Gu Mengyao raged. "With breasts like yours, you'll end up as nothing but a burden sooner or later!"
"Heehee... I wouldn't bet on that!" Seeing Gu Mengyao angry, Shen Yushu made a face and dared not continue. She quickly changed the subject. "Yaoyao, what should we play?"
"How should I know?" Gu Mengyao was still angry.
"How about we go shopping?" Shen Yushu suggested.
"No." Gu Mengyao was far more principled than Shen Yushu on matters of right and wrong. "Last time we went to the bar, something almost went wrong. Daddy's company might be in trouble—we can't add to his worries."
"Oh..." Shen Yushu was a little disappointed. "Brother Arrow went out early this morning. If he were here, we'd have nothing to fear!"
"You really think he's invincible?" Gu Mengyao curled her lip. "He can only bully Zhong Yongliang and his gang. If we run into someone truly formidable, what use is he alone?"
"I think Brother Arrow is pretty strong..." Shen Yushu didn't agree. "Didn't he come back safe and sound that day?"
