“Really?! You can really cure Momo?!”
Su Qingmei was extremely agitated as she grabbed onto Yang Luo’s arm tightly.
Qin Yimo also looked at Yang Luo in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes.
Ever since she contracted muscle atrophy, her life began its countdown.
She had never thought that there would be a day when someone would say that they could cure her illness.
Qin Zurong and the other members of the Qin family were also extremely excited.
After all, Qin Yimo was the prodigy of the younger generation of the Qin Family and had been heavily nurtured by the Qin Family.
…..
Even though Qin Yimo suffered from muscle atrophy and was in a wheelchair, she had done a lot for the Qin family.
If Qin Yimo could stand up again, it would undoubtedly be great news for the Qin family.
Qin Zurong was so excited that his eyes turned red, “Little Luo, if you can cure Momo, my Qin family will owe you a huge favor!”
“Old Master Qin, the Qin family and the Su family have been on good terms for generations. Moreover, Miss Qin and Qingmei are best friends. How can 1 not help?”
Yang Luo waved his hand and continued, “However, Miss Qin has been ill for a long time. It will take half a month for her to completely recover.”
“What?! Only half a month?!”
Qin Zurong was stunned.
He thought the long time Yang Luo referred to would be counted in years, or even decades.
Su Qingmei also stopped short upon hearing his words.
If she hadn’t personally seen Yang Luo cure her grandfather, she wouldn’t have believed Yang Luo’s words at all!
Qin Yimo could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.
She looked at Yang Luo and said, “Mr. Yang, if you can make me stand up again, I will repay you with my entire life!”
Yang Luo grinned and said, “I don’t need any repayment. 1 also don’t want a beauty like you to be in a wheelchair all the time.”
Hearing this, Qin Yimo couldn’t help but burst out laughing. This visual was breathtaking.
Su Qingmei suggested, “How about this, Momo? You can stay at my house during the treatment period.
This will also make it easier for Yang Luo to treat you.”
“Alright!”
Qin Yimo nodded in agreement.
After that, Yang Luo and Su Qingmei toasted the Qin family before heading to another table.
At this moment…
At a table in the hotel lobby.
Jiang Mingyu gulped down a few glasses of wine and said in a deep voice, “Old He, Old Song, help me investigate this guy called Yang Luo for the next few days. 1 want to know his background.”
“No problem.”
He Jiahao and Song Chengyou nodded in agreement.
“Young Master Jiang, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. I know this kid’s background.”
At this moment, Zhao Tianheng walked over with a walking stick and a glass of red wine.
“Oh?”
Jiang Mingyu glanced at Zhao Tianheng and said indifferently, “Tell me, where did this kid come from?”
Zhao Tianheng said respectfully, “Young Master Jiang, Yang Luo came from the mountains and learned some medical skills from a wild man.
This kid was just lucky. He actually was allowed to treat Old Master Su and won his favor.”
“Are you telling the truth?”
Jiang Mingyu turned around and stared at Zhao Tianheng.
He Jiahao and Song Chengyou also looked at Zhao Tianheng.
“Of course it’s true!”
Zhao Tianheng nodded repeatedly.
“How do you know about this kid?”
Jiang Mingyu asked.
“To be honest, I have a grudge against this kid. He broke my leg…”
Zhao Tianheng gulped down a mouthful of wine and told Jiang Mingyu and the other two what had happened three days ago.
Therefore, after he found out that Yang Luo and Su Qingmei were engaged, he knew that it was probably unrealistic for him to take revenge on his own.
Therefore, he found Jiang Mingyu and wanted to take revenge through the latter’s power.
After listening to Zhao Tianheng’s story, Song Chengyou directly laughed out loud and said, “I was wondering who this kid was. It turns out that he’s just a bumpkin!”
He Jiahao also shook his head and said, “A kid from the wilderness dares to compete with our Brother Jiang? He really doesn’t know what’s good for him!”
Jiang Mingyu sneered and said, “To think that I thought of this kid as someone important. It turns out that he’s just a bumpkin. How ridiculous.”
Zhao Tianheng said worriedly, “But, Young Master Jiang, that kid has the Su family’s protection now. If we touch him, the Su family will definitely not agree…”
Jiang Mingyu said proudly, “With our three families around, do you think the Su family can protect him?”
“That’s true. If Young Master Jiang, Young Master He, and Young Master Song join forces, no one in Jiang City can compete with them!”
Zhao Tianheng chuckled and stroked their egos at the right time.
Jiang Mingyu glanced at Zhao Tianheng and said, “Kid, you sure know how to speak. Just follow us from now on.”
“Thank you, Young Master Jiang!”
Zhao Tianheng was overjoyed. Like a lackey, henchman, and lapdog, he hurriedly poured wine for Jiang Mingyu and the others.
But just as he was pouring the wine…
A powerful voice came from outside the door!
“Hey, it’s quite lively today!”
Accompanied by this voice, a series of footsteps sounded from outside.
Everyone in the hall was alarmed and turned to look at the door.
A large group of men in uniform black clothes walked in with fierce auras.
The leader was a burly middle-aged man with tanned skin and a resolute face.
The hotel’s security officers couldn’t stop them at all and were pushed to the side instead.
Seeing this group of people enter, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically and they stood up one after another.
“Aren’t… aren’t they from the Eastern Alliance? Why are they here? Are they also here to attend the Su family’s engagement banquet?”
“From the looks of it, the people from the Eastern Alliance don’t seem to be here to attend the engagement banquet, but to cause trouble!”
Everyone whispered to each other, not knowing what was going on.
That’s right. The newcomers were people who came from Jiang City’s East District, the Eastern Alliance.
At this moment, Yang Luo also saw this group of people.
Also, he saw a man with a cast on his right arm. It was Li Yuanbao, whose arm he had crippled three days ago.
Yang Luo narrowed his eyes. It seemed that these guys were here for him.
“Qingmei, just what kind of background does the Eastern Alliance have?”
Yang Luo asked Su Qingmei.
Su Qingmei replied, “There are a total of four underground chambers of commerce in the entire Jiang City. They are the Eastern Alliance of the east, the Southern Sky Chamber of Commerce in the south, the West Wind Chamber of Commerce in the west, and the North Rising Chamber of Commerce in the north.
“These four chambers of commerce are very powerful. Each of them is comparable to a first-rate family in Jiang City.”
“I see.”
…..
Yang Luo nodded in realization and asked, “Who’s the leader?”
Su Qingmei said, “The president of the Eastern Alliance, Jiang Tianlong, has five Heavenly Kings under him, and this guy is one of them. His name is Qiao Xudong, and his nickname is ‘Greedy Wolf’.”
“Oh…”
Yang Luo nodded and more or less understood what was going on.
Su Qingmei frowned and said, “Our families have always stayed in one’s own lane, mine one’s own business. I wonder why the people from the Eastern Alliance are here today.”
Yang Luo narrowed his eyes and said, “If I’m not wrong, they should be coming for me.”
“Ah?! They’re here for you?!”
Su Qingmei jumped in shock, “What do you mean?!”
