Isn't he the guy Zhang Kaifeng wanted to place beside him? How could he be related to Mr. Phillip?!

Da Zhong saw Lilith's shocked expression, and a hint of mischief flashed across his eyes, but he quickly covered the back of his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Hi, hello, my name is Da Zhong, and I'm a friend of Mr. Philip."

The smile on her lips seemed very stiff. Lilith nodded and said, "Hello, welcome to the Xiao family castle."

Mr. and Mrs. Philip could see something strange between the two men, and thought it was the effect of young people's hormones, so they gave each other a meaningful smile.

"Okay, grandpa is still waiting for you, please follow me." Lilith quickly managed her emotions, then put on a decent smile and said.

When Lilith turned around, Da Zhong put away his smile and began to look left and right at the terrain, trying to memorize it in his mind.

At this moment, Xiao Jincheng ordered people to prepare a sumptuous dinner and was waiting for the two guests.

When he saw his old friend, he immediately smiled kindly, asked someone to push him forward, and said, "Long time no see, Philip!"

Mr. Philip did not expect that in just a few years, Xiao Jincheng had become so old and was sitting in a wheelchair, looking like an old man in his twilight years.

After walking a few steps to Xiao Jincheng, Philip frowned and said, "Old friend, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Xiao Jincheng coughed a few times. Although he was smiling, his face was still very ugly. After his breathing stabilized, he looked up at Mr. Philip and said, "It's not good. I'm getting older and my health has deteriorated. I see that you are still the same as before, still so energetic."

Giving Lilith a look, Xiao Jincheng said, "Everyone, don't stand around. Take a seat. Knowing you're coming, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite Chinese dishes. Come and try them. Do they still taste the same as you remember?"

Philip looked worried, but out of courtesy, he sat down first.

Seeing a young man sitting down with Philip and his wife, Xiao Jincheng stared at the unfamiliar young man with sharp eyes and asked, "Who is this..."

"Oh, he's a friend we met on the road," Mr. Philip said excitedly when talking about Da Zhong. "Although he's young, he's a very skilled doctor. On the way here, I had an asthma attack and felt very uncomfortable. It was Da Zhong who saved me with his amazing acupuncture. After just a few needles, my symptoms gradually disappeared. It's really amazing!"

Xiao Jincheng knew Philip and knew that he would not praise someone easily. And this person named Da Zhong must have something extraordinary to earn such praise from Philip.

The experienced eyes fell on Da Zhong, who happened to look up and met Xiao Jincheng's eyes.

Da Zhong seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to the other party.

This young man... dared to meet my gaze, he is indeed not an ordinary person!

Xiao Jincheng slowly smiled and nodded to Da Zhong.

Seeing that Xiao Jincheng seemed to have accepted the bell, Lilith felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, she felt that Zhang Kaifeng was a terrible man who could actually use Philip and his wife to get people in. It seemed that she had underestimated that man!

Lilith gathered her gaze, calmed herself down, and then she smiled and raised her glass, saying to everyone, "Come on, let's drink to our gathering!"

Everyone raised their glasses, greeted each other, and then gently tasted the wine in the glass.

Mr. Philip is a wine lover. After taking a sip, he knew it was a top-grade Lafite and couldn't help but exclaim, "It tastes sweet and mellow. It's really a good wine!"

Da Zhong was eating the steak in front of him. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "No matter how good the wine is, you can only drink what's in the glass. Any more will be bad for your health."

"I know, it's not good to overdose."

Mrs. Philip looked at the clock and smiled. "Your words carry weight," she said. "I've warned him a hundred times, but he won't listen."

Da Zhong smiled and said, "You and I are different. Mr. Philip is like a spoiled child in front of you, but in front of me, he is a patient. A spoiled child gets candy, but a disobedient patient can only be pricked with an acupuncture needle!"

"Ha ha--"

Although Da Zhong's words were a bit vulgar, they were very useful to Mrs. Philip and also seemed fresh to Mr. Philip.

Seeing that the three people were all laughing, Xiao Jincheng also smiled. At the same time, he secretly looked at the young man, wondering what this person's background was. It seemed that he was not a simple person.

As if noticing Xiao Jincheng's interest in the clock, Mr. Philip said, as if showing off a treasure, "Xiao, I think you should let Zhong see you. He's a very skilled doctor. I heard he can even cure cancer. I bet he'd be able to treat your illness."

A strange light flashed in his eyes, but Xiao Jincheng's expression remained unchanged as he said, "If possible, I hope I have the honor."

Hearing this, Da Zhong raised his head, looked at Xiao Jincheng carefully, then tilted his head, shook his head, and sighed.

This action of his made Xiao Jincheng feel a little unhappy, and he asked, "Why, this young man doesn't seem to like the delicious food here?"

"No, no, the food here is very authentic and delicious, but I may have failed to live up to Mr. Philip's expectations."

Hearing this, Philip looked at the clock curiously and asked, "Zhong, what do you mean by this?"

Looking up, Da Zhong looked directly at Xiao Jincheng and said, "What I mean is that with my ability, I can only alleviate this old man's pain and prolong his life, but I can't cure his disease."

"What?" Mr. Philip said with a serious expression, "Even you can't cure it completely. What disease has my old friend got?"

Giving Xiao Jincheng a deep look, Da Zhong slowly said, "The disease has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and is difficult to cure."

The fork in his hand fell on the table. Mr. Philip looked at Xiao Jincheng in shock and murmured, "Could it be that you..."

"Yes, as you think, I do have that disease."

Compared to Mr. Philip's shock, Xiao Jincheng was very calm and still maintained a decent smile.

Upon hearing this news, Mr. Philip was very surprised. He turned around and looked at Da Zhong and said, "Your medical skills are amazing. Is it really impossible to cure it?"

Da Zhong looked very regretful and said, "I'm sorry, I also want to cure your friend, but as I said just now, I can only alleviate his pain and prolong his life so that he no longer needs to rely on drugs to achieve these effects."

The last sentence shocked Xiao Jincheng. He hadn't expected that this young man could tell that he had used banned drugs in such a short time.
