The Zhuo Family Residence.
"Father, medicinal ingredients and potions are the source of our lives. If we give it away for free, what else is our business? Why did you obey the words of a 17-year-old boy? Indeed, we are working with Chen Company, but that does not mean that Father must obey all his words" Zhuo Fan protested.
He disagreed when his father suddenly wanted to open a free treatment.
The higher-ups in the Zhuo Family also agreed to that. One of the people said, "Old Master Zhuo, you should think about this again. We're not part of Shadow City anymore. Doing this has great risks."
Old Master Zhuo gripped tightly at his pen. Now a hint of doubt appeared in his heart. He feels very worried. He believed in Ling, but doing so was a big risk.
"Grandfather," call Liam.
He had just returned from school and was still wearing a uniform. He saw a lot of people there. He knew they were discussing something important.
Before he went to the room, he gave his grandfather a wooden plaque that made him think all day.
"Ling gave this to you" said Liam, giving him a wooden plaque. After that, Liam went to his room.
Old Master Zhuo accepted the thing. He carefully observed each of the carefully sculpted carvings.
"Alright, we'll ...,"
Prangs!
The pen that Old Master Zhuo was holding fell down. His words stopped and he froze for a moment.
He stared at the wooden plaque again. Then said firmly, "Alright, we'll open a free treatment and hold a press conference soon. No more rejection."
After which, Old Master Zhuo walked into his study.
The people in the living room just let out a sigh of resignation. They had seen the contrasting change in expression from Old Master Zhuo. Despite still remaining disapproving, they were unable to refute Old Master Zhuo's remark.
"Dad's getting weird. He was also getting closer to the boy," Zhuo Fan said.
At first he admired Ling for his ability. He also saw changes in his son. But this made him a little worried.
"Let's find a reporter. We will open a press conference soon" Zhuo Fan continued.
Next day.
Despite having a short time, the Zhuo Family still managed to invite the media and conduct a press conference. They also invited some big companies.
This was the first time the Zhuo Family came out to the surface.
Lu Yan also came to this press conference.
When she found out that they were holding a press conference to announce about the opening of the free treatment, she almost laughed to tears. The anxiety he had been experiencing since yesterday was now gone in an instant.
"Old Master Zhuo," called Lu Yan upon seeing Old Master Zhuo about to leave.
"You are indeed great because you dare to open treatment for free. But working with Chen Company is probably the decision you will regret the most" Lu Yan said.
"Repent?" Old Master Zhuo raised an eyebrow.
"No. This is the best decision I have ever taken," Old Master Zhuo replied with a chuckle. He then walked away leaving Lu Yan.
He saw the wooden plaque he had been carrying. Carving dragons on wood looks complicated. It must have been carefully made. And if you look at the details again, they will also see a name.
Ling X's.

Lu Yan returned to the Lu Residence with a gloomy face. He saw Wuzhou and his mother sitting on the sofa.
"Have you heard from Mr Han?" asked Lu Yan. He sat on the sofa and leaned his head on Wuzhou's shoulder.
"No, yet" Wuzhou replied as he shook his head.
Lu Yan sighed harshly. A few days since the press conference, Mr. Han could not be reached. He thought Mr. Han was running away from this matter.
"I told you not to underestimate Chen Ling. But you didn't listen to my words," said Madam Lu as she played her phone.
"Mother!" shouted Lu Yan. He had already risen from Wuzhou's shoulder.
Madam Lu just shrugged indifferently.
"Lu Yan!" wuzhou.
"Sir Han has contacted us" he continued.
"Let's go to the room," Lu Yan asked. The two of them walked up the stairs and left Madam Lu.
In Lu Yan's room.
"Mr Han. It turned out that Mr. Yuan was working with the Chen Company" Wuzhou said.
"Yuan Ming in cooperation with Chen Company?" ask the man. He turned his chair around and popped his face in the video.
"really. Chen Company also cooperated with the Zhuo Family and the Yu Family. This was not favorable to the Lu Company. The stock price is going down a little bit" Lu Yan said.
Master Han smiled disdainfully. A sharp glint from his eyes. He said, "I've been hiding myself for 15 years. It seems like people are starting to forget me."
His sharp eyes stared at the two people in the video.
"Give me details about Lu Company. I'll analyze and find a solution to this. And forget about Project L. You will be laughed at by people from Shadow City for that," said Mr. Han.
Wuzhou and Lu Yan smiled awkwardly. After all Wuzhou is the pioneer of Project L.
They think it's the most incredible idea. They confidently spread it throughout Urban City. They even showed the project to Yuan Ming.
When he thought about it, he felt that Yuan Ming deserved to underestimate his cooperation. He is very embarrassed now.
"It's okay. You stay smart. I have not accepted students for a long time. Everyone who has been my student has been successful in Shadow City," said Mr. Han with a faint smile.
After which, Wuzhou smiled happily.
"Thank you, Mister. I will do my best" he said.
"Don't let me down" said Mr. Han chuckling before finally turning off the video call.
At that time, Wuzhou immediately opened the browser and logged into a website specifically for Shadow City.
Lu Yan beside him was surprised.
"Where did you get access?" asked Lu Yan.
Important and influential people in Shadow City rarely spread personal information to the public. If there is, it is just a little bit of information. They have a special website that can be accessed if they have a special account.
On this particular website, they can find information that cannot be found on public websites. Like Han.
When they open a public website, they find little information about it. But when opening a special website, immediately a title appeared that surprised them.
'The Greatest Economist, Han'.
Lu Yan closed his mouth in surprise and delight.
"She .. she is a very great person. We are very lucky" Lu Yan said.
"really. It was not in vain that I bought this particular account," Wuzhou said. His fingers were trembling with joy.
After a while, he re-typed on the keyboard.
'Ling X''s'.
But the article or information that appears is not about him. They couldn't find 'Ling X'. There are only ads and some weird articles.
"Why is there no information about Ling X? Didn't Master Yuan think he was so great?" ask Wuzhou astonished.
"I don't know," Lu Yan replied.
"It's possible that this person is just an ordinary person and not as great as Mr. Han," Lu Yan continued.
The greatest economist, isn't that amazing?
