"Your complexion isn't good. Did something happen?" Jiang Yi asked.
Jiang Yi initially didn't intend to meddle, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but inquire.
"Our Chen family is in trouble!"
The head of the Chen family took a deep breath. "That Doctor Qian just now was a medical guest of the Shen family, and I've completely offended him."
The so-called medical guests were highly skilled doctors hired by wealthy families.
Simply put, they were private doctors.
However, unlike private doctors, medical guests received much better treatment. Their patrons would diligently provide for them, fulfilling any request the medical guest had.
Even if a medical guest encountered trouble, their patron would help resolve it.
Upon hearing the name Shen family, Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
"Is the Shen family you're referring to the Shen family from the south of Lidu City?" Jiang Yi asked.
"That's right, it's this Shen family!"
The head of the Chen family nodded, his brows still furrowed deeply.
This confused Jiang Yi. Given the Chen family's strength in the business world, why would they fear a mere Shen family?
After all, the Chen family was one of the top prominent families in Lidu City.
"You Chen family are so afraid of a mere Shen family?" Jiang Yi asked curiously.
"In terms of influence, our Chen family is naturally much stronger than the Shen family. We wouldn't pay much attention to a single Shen family."
"However, the backing behind the Shen family is quite troublesome. While they can't destroy our Chen family, if we attract the attention of the 'little devils' from Huichun Hall, it'll be a significant problem," the head of the Chen family explained.
"Who is the Shen family's backer?" Jiang Yi continued to ask.
His purpose in coming to Lidu City was to deal with the Shen family!
Before making a move against the Shen family, he needed to understand their network of influence, which would make dealing with them easier.
"The Shen family's backer is Huichun Hall," the head of the Chen family replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi froze for a moment.
This development surprised Jiang Yi; he hadn't expected Huichun Hall to be the Shen family's backer.
"It seems we need to join forces!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Hearing this, the head of the Chen family was momentarily stunned.
Soon, the head of the Chen family recovered and felt a surge of excitement.
He knew Jiang Yi's capabilities. With Jiang Yi's help, Huichun Hall would be a non-issue.
"Master Jiang, why would Huichun Hall provoke you?" the head of the Chen family asked curiously.
Jiang Yi didn't conceal anything and recounted his visit to Huichun Hall the previous day to the head of the Chen family.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Chen family understood the situation.
"That Manager He from Huichun Hall is a complete scoundrel. Many people who went to Huichun Hall to buy medicinal herbs were swindled by him, and they dared not speak out!"
"I can't believe he was blind enough to provoke you, Master Jiang," the head of the Chen family chuckled.
Initially, Jiang Yi had no intention of dealing with Huichun Hall.
However, since he intended to deal with the Shen family, he had to take care of Huichun Hall as well.
"For the next period, have someone keep a close watch on the Shen family and Huichun Hall. Call me if you get any news."
After speaking, Jiang Yi stood up from the sofa and walked towards the hall entrance.
The head of the Chen family quickly got up to see Jiang Yi off, escorting him all the way to the villa's doorstep.
After Jiang Yi left, the head of the Chen family returned to the hall.
"Can Master Jiang handle the Shen family and Huichun Hall?"
Madam Chen frowned. "Master Jiang's medical skills are astonishing, but he doesn't have any influence here in Lidu City. No matter how superb his medical skills are, he can't possibly deal with a local power like Huichun Hall."
"You underestimate Master Jiang. Master Jiang is no ordinary person," the head of the Chen family said with a slight smile.
"What is Master Jiang's true identity?" Madam Chen asked.
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
The head of the Chen family stated, "Let me put it this way: Huichun Hall is at most like an ant in front of Master Jiang. If Master Jiang wanted to crush Huichun Hall, he could do it with a single phone call. However, Master Jiang is a low-profile person and won't resort to his past connections unless absolutely necessary."
Hearing this, Madam Chen felt relieved.
The head of the Chen family suddenly remembered the tasks Jiang Yi had assigned earlier. He immediately summoned a few trusted family members and instructed them to personally monitor the Shen family and Huichun Hall.
After returning to the villa, Jiang Yi made a phone call to Shen Lu, informing her that he had arrived in Lidu City.
Additionally, Jiang Yi provided Shen Lu with the villa's address.
Around three in the afternoon, Shen Lu arrived in Lidu City from Jiangcheng City and found Jiang Yi's villa.
"Speak. How do you want to deal with the Shen family?" Jiang Yi's gaze fell upon Shen Lu.
"I want to make the Shen family infamous and leave them with no way out," Shen Lu stated.
"Wouldn't it be simpler to just destroy the Shen family?" Jiang Yi was somewhat exasperated.
While the idea seemed simple, the execution would likely be troublesome.
"Destroying the Shen family outright would be too easy for them."
A look of anger flashed across Shen Lu's face.
"The suffering they inflicted upon me, I want them to repay tenfold. You know my identity as an assassin. If I wanted to destroy the Shen family directly, I would have killed all their members long ago and wouldn't need your help."
Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders.
Shen Lu was rather pitiable. He decided to do a good deed this time.
"You've always wanted revenge, so you must have a plan. Tell me your plan."
Jiang Yi's gaze focused on Shen Lu.
Shen Lu showed a hint of surprise.
She hadn't expected Jiang Yi to have guessed even this.
"To deal with the Shen family, we must start with my cousin, Shen Quan."
Shen Lu explained, "Shen Quan is the biological son of the Shen family head, Shen Wanhao. Shen Wanhao groomed Shen Quan as his successor from a young age. Dealing with Shen Quan will cause Shen Wanhao a lifetime of pain."
"Give me Shen Quan's information!" Jiang Yi requested.
"Mm!"
Shen Lu nodded and handed a file bag to Jiang Yi.
Afterward, Shen Lu bid farewell to Jiang Yi and left the villa.
Jiang Yi opened the file bag and read through all of Shen Quan's information.
Shen Quan wasn't very old, only around twenty-four or twenty-five. However, the young man indeed possessed some capabilities!
Shen Quan had opened six or seven hospitals in three years. These hospitals were all major establishments in Lidu City, generating hundreds of millions in pure profit annually.
Shen Quan had also been recognized as one of the top ten young elites in Jiang Province's business community.
To deal with Shen Quan, he would need to leverage Bai Zhen.
Bai Zhen was the president of the Jiang Province Chamber of Commerce and held significant sway in the Jiang Province business circles. With Bai Zhen's assistance, dealing with Shen Quan would be much easier.
However, before that, Jiang Yi planned to meet Shen Quan today.
There was a reception at the Royal Hotel today, and Shen Quan, as one of the top ten young elites in Jiang Province's business community, should be attending.
Business success relied half on skill and half on connections.
For anyone engaged in business, attending such industry gatherings was an opportunity to build valuable connections.
