Chen Fan led Wang Gia Huy and his two bodyguards into his living room. The apartment, though rented, was spacious and well-furnished, befitting its high-end location. Wang Gia Huy's eyes subtly scanned the room, a flicker of surprise in them. He clearly hadn't expected someone who could predict market crashes and dismantle criminal gangs to live in such a modest, albeit comfortable, apartment.
"Please, have a seat, Chairman Wang," Chen Fan offered, gesturing to the sofa. The bodyguards remained standing, their gazes watchful.
Wang Gia Huy sat, his usual confident demeanor now tinged with an underlying anxiety. He took a deep breath, then began. "Mr. Chen, I won't beat around the bush. I've come to you because I'm desperate. My daughter... she's gravely ill."
Chen Fan remained silent, his Heavenly Eye Technique subtly active. He could see the faint, chaotic spiritual qi swirling around Wang Gia Huy, a clear sign of deep concern and a strong emotional connection to someone else's suffering.
"My only daughter, Wang Linhai, has been in a coma for three months," Wang Gia Huy continued, his voice heavy with grief. "She was involved in a car accident. The doctors say there's no hope. They've tried everything, every specialist, every treatment. But... she just lies there, unresponsive." His voice cracked slightly.
Chen Fan's mind raced. A coma? This wasn't a simple illness. The System's previous alert about chaotic spiritual qi around Wang Gia Huy was now making perfect sense.
"Keng! New Main Quest: The Tycoon's Daughter!"
"Description: Diagnose and cure Wang Linhai, Wang Gia Huy's daughter, from her coma. (Host must use cultivation methods, but ensure minimal exposure of identity.)"
"Reward: 500 Experience Points, 20 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, 1 'Mid-Grade Healing Art' skill, 1 'Golden Core Cultivation Technique Fragment'."
"Time Limit: 7 days."
"Failure Penalty: None, but relationship with Wang Gia Huy will be severed, potential future opportunities lost."
Chen Fan's eyes widened imperceptibly at the System's notifications. A main quest! And the rewards were truly tempting: Mid-Grade Healing Art and a Golden Core Cultivation Technique Fragment! Golden Core was a realm far beyond his current Late Qi Refining, hinting at immense power. This was a critical opportunity.
He looked at Wang Gia Huy. "Chairman Wang, I am not a doctor. My expertise lies elsewhere."
Wang Gia Huy gripped his hands, his knuckles white. "Mr. Chen, I know you're not. But... I've heard rumors. About your extraordinary abilities. People say you possess... unique methods. I'm willing to pay any price. Any price at all, if you can just save my daughter."
He then pulled out a thick contract from his briefcase and placed it on the coffee table. "This is a blank contract. You can fill in any terms you wish. Shares in Wang Shi Group, properties, unlimited funds... anything. Just save Linhai."
Chen Fan picked up the contract. It was indeed blank, signed by Wang Gia Huy, giving him carte blanche. This man was truly desperate.
He put the contract back down. "Chairman Wang, money isn't my primary concern. However, if I am to help, I need to see your daughter myself. I need to understand her condition fully."
A flicker of hope ignited in Wang Gia Huy's eyes. "Of course! Immediately! She's at the City Central Hospital, in the VIP ward. I'll arrange everything. We can go now!"
"Very well," Chen Fan nodded. "But before we go, Chairman Wang, I must warn you. My methods are... unconventional. You must trust me completely, and no one, absolutely no one, must interfere or question my actions during the treatment. Can you guarantee that?"
Wang Gia Huy looked at Chen Fan, then glanced at his unwavering gaze. He had heard the rumors, seen the astonishing results of Chen Fan's "observations." This young man was indeed extraordinary. For his daughter, he would take any risk.
"I guarantee it, Mr. Chen. My daughter's life is in your hands. I will ensure no one interferes."
"Good," Chen Fan said, standing up. "Let's go."
As they left the apartment, Chen Fan's mind was already racing, analyzing possibilities. A coma due to a car accident suggested severe brain trauma or internal injuries. Normal medicine had failed. This was a job for cultivation. The Heavenly Eye Technique would be crucial for a precise diagnosis, and then his spiritual energy, combined with the future Mid-Grade Healing Art, would be put to the ultimate test.
He felt a surge of excitement. This wasn't just about money or power; this was about saving a life, and in doing so, gaining valuable cultivation knowledge and powerful skills.
