Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Xuan didn't dare hesitate and immediately tackled Han Jingting to the ground.

"Chen Xuan, what are you doing!"

Before her words had ended, a loud crashing sound followed as the tempered glass door behind them shattered!

Han Jingting saw the large rock on the floor and turned pale with fright.

Luckily, Chen Xuan had acted in time to save her, or else she would have been gravely injured, bleeding from a split open head if not dead!

Han Jingting suddenly remembered what Chen Xuan had told her earlier about a darkened forehead being an omen of great misfortune.

Could it be that this guy really knew how to tell fortunes?

With the arrival of Han Corporation's security, the chaos was quickly subdued.

"Jingting, are you alright?"

Chen Xuan helped Han Jingting up from the ground. Although they had avoided the rock, all the rotten eggs had hit him, leaving him looking utterly disheveled.

Seeing Chen Xuan in such a state, a flicker of emotion crossed Han Jingting's heart.

"Thank you!"

Chen Xuan's eyes brightened, for in their six years of marriage, Han Jingting had always been indifferent to him; this was the first time she had thanked him!

At this moment, Han Jingting had already turned her attention back to the patients.

"Everyone, if you have any demands, we can sit down and discuss them. Please don't resort to such extreme methods. You know this is against the law, right!"

"Who the hell are you trying to scare! Han Corporation produces fake medicine that harms people. Isn't that illegal?"

"Exactly, we trusted Han Corporation, and look how terribly we've suffered! Boo hoo hoo..."

"Han Corporation, you're heartless and ruthless!"

The patients' cries and wails filled the air, and the surrounding media continuously captured photos.

Just as Han Jingting was feeling anxious and unsure of what to do, a voice suddenly rose, "I can cure your diseases!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down and looked over.

"Chen Xuan, what are you stirring up!"

Han Jingting frowned as she looked at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Han Jingting was taken aback; for some reason, she suddenly felt that the man before her might indeed be trustworthy.

At that moment, a tanned man in his fifties pointed at Chen Xuan and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's simple. If I can cure your diseases, then you will no longer trouble Han Corporation."

"And what if you can't cure us?"

"If I can't cure you, then Han Corporation will not only compensate each of you with a million but will also apologize to you in front of the media!"

Han Jingting was shocked and pulled Chen Xuan aside to rebuke him, "Are you insane! Who allowed you to do this! Are you trying to destroy the company!"

With no less than twenty to thirty patients, compensating a million each would amount to twenty to thirty million!

Even for Han Corporation, it would be difficult to come up with so much money at once!

She had almost believed him just now, but it turned out he was still the same as ever, causing more harm than good!

The crowd on site was also astounded.

And the patients were not willing to give Han Jingting any chance to back out.

"Fine, we accept your offer, start now!"

"If you dare to back out, we'll smash Han Corporation to pieces!"

Han Jingting sighed. There was no turning back now; it was already too late for regrets.

Chen Xuan had already arrived among the patients, taking their pulses one by one.

"Putting on airs!"

Han Jingting cursed inwardly.

"Do you even know how to treat sickness? If you can't cure it, hurry up and pay up!"

"Exactly, pay up quickly, don't waste our time!"

Chen Xuan looked at the dark-skinned man in front of him and sneered coldly, "Don't worry, your disease will be cured in no time!"

Then, Chen Xuan found a metal rod nearby and returned to the front of the dark-skinned man.

"What... what are you doing?"

The dark-skinned man looked frightened.

Chen Xuan smiled, "Of course, I'm about to treat you!"

With that, without another word, Chen Xuan swung the rod and smashed it towards the other man's leg.

However, the dark-skinned man dodged, and the cement floor was smashed into a pit.

"Murder! Han Corporation is committing murder!"

The dark-skinned man shouted in terror.

The surrounding crowd was stunned, not expecting such a turn of events.

The media present began to crazily snap pictures, seeing that it was great material for a story, it was destined to hit the headlines!

Han Jingting was so anxious she almost passed out. Right now, she truly wished she could kill Chen Xuan.

At this moment, far from calming down, Chen Xuan once again swung the rod towards the dark-skinned man's face.

Then, something unexpected happened.

The man, who had been pretending to be paralyzed, swiftly dodged the rod, then stood up and ran off at the speed of a hundred-metre sprint!

At the same time, the other patients also stood up and scattered in every direction.

They were each nimble, bearing no signs of sickness at all.

The crowd erupted with surprise; it turned out these people were all faking!

Han Jingting was dumbstruck, only then realizing that Chen Xuan had seen through everything from the beginning, which is why he used such a method to 'treat' people!

After Chen Xuan's commotion, the rumor that Han Corporation's new drug was harmful was self-defeating.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you earlier..."

In the office, Han Jingting hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.

Chen Xuan was startled, then smiled, "We're husband and wife, you don't need to apologize to me..."

"In name only!"

Han Jingting quickly clarified.

Chen Xuan pursed his lips, saying nothing.

Originally, Han Jingting had married Chen Xuan under duress, and giving birth to Xiao Yu was the result of a drunken impulse between the two of them. Chen Xuan had always felt guilty towards the woman before him, never daring to hope for too much.

It seemed that Han Jingting realized that her reaction had been too intense, and the cold expression on her face softened slightly.

"I have some matters to deal with later, so I can't take you back."

"It's okay, I'll go back by myself."

Watching Chen Xuan's lonely departure, Han Jingting couldn't help reminiscing about the scene when she was pinned down by him.

Today, his behavior had truly impressed her, as if he had become a different person.

For the first time in six years, she saw something admirable in this man.
