After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

Following Lan Yingying's gaze, Lan Tianmu saw Chu Tian and immediately stood up, his face filled with excitement and tears of gratitude.

"Many thanks to Mr. Chu for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness."

While unconscious, he remained conscious and thus was fully aware of the entire medical process.

I have the utmost admiration for the miraculous methods Chu Tian has employed.

Chu Tian waved his hand lightly and said with a faint smile, "I have heard that the old master of the Lan family is generous and does a good deed every day."

"The number of poor people you have helped over the years is countless."

“I will certainly not stand idly by and do nothing about a great philanthropist like you.”

Lan Tianmu secretly rejoiced. Everyone says that good people are rewarded, and indeed, the ancients were right.

In his excitement, Lan Tianmu waved his hand and said generously.

"Someone, pass on my order: immediately invest 5 billion in Mr. Chu's name to establish a foundation to help left-behind children in various mountainous areas."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Lan family gaped in astonishment.

Even for the Lan family, 5 billion is not a small amount.

Moreover, it was done in Chu Tian's name.

In other words, the Lan family spent money to make Chu Tian's name known.

Not to mention the Lan family, such a thing has never happened in the entire country of China.

"Donations are a good thing, but it's unnecessary to do them in my name."

"After all, there's another reason why I saved you."

Chu Tian said casually, showing that he didn't care about his reputation at all.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tianmu's eyes were filled with admiration. "I never expected Mr. Chu to be so righteous. This old man admires him."

"But I wonder, what is the other reason you mentioned?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "When I came here, your son agreed to one condition of mine."

Lan Tianmu's expression froze for a moment, then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha! I thought it was something big, but it turns out it's just a condition."

“Mr. Chu, you saved the old man’s life, which is equivalent to saving the entire Lan family.”

"Don't even mention one condition, even if it's ten thousand, or even if it bankrupts my Lan family, I will have no complaints."

This statement was not a pretense, but came from the bottom of my heart.

Lan Tianmu started from scratch and built the Lan Group in twenty years, making it a well-known conglomerate worth hundreds of billions in the three southwestern provinces.

Therefore, in his view, money is not particularly important.

If the money is gone, you can make it again.

But losing those favors would be the biggest loss.

Moreover, Chu Tian's extraordinary medical skills are beyond measure in monetary terms.

Therefore, as long as you maintain a good relationship with Chu Tian, ​​you will undoubtedly be able to extend the lives of yourself and your family.

Chu Tian glanced at Lan Tianmu a few more times, then said, "There's no need to go bankrupt. Just choose to cooperate with the Tang family at the bidding banquet of Qiangsheng Group in a few days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tianmu's face was full of surprise.

"Mr. Chu, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"What? Do you want to back out?" Chu Tian frowned slightly.

Lan Tianmu shook his head and remained silent.

“Mr. Chu, my grandfather means that your request is too simple. You could have made a more challenging one.”

Lan Yingying spoke up, also quite surprised.

Choosing who to cooperate with is simply a matter of the Lan family's word.

Chu Tian saved the old man, which was equivalent to saving the entire Lan family. No request he made would be unreasonable. However, he never expected that it would all be for a small cooperation.

Chu Tian realized he had misunderstood and said softly, "It's alright, you just need to do this well."

Seeing this, Lan Yingying said no more, "Alright, Mr. Chu, you can rest assured."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After finishing his sentence, Chu Tian turned and walked out without lingering any longer.

Lan Shize and Lan Yingying immediately wanted to see them off.

"Shize, you stay."

"Let Yingying deliver it herself."

Lan Tianmu suddenly called out to Lan Shize.

Lan Shize was taken aback, but when he saw the meaningful smile on his father's face, he immediately realized what was going on.

……

After leaving the Lan family manor, Lan Yingying called her personal driver, intending to personally take Chu Tian back.

"No need for that trouble, I can just take a taxi back myself."

Chu Tian declined Lan Yingying's offer, then seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said something.

"Oh! By the way, we need to investigate your grandfather's curse when we get back."

"The Bloodthirsty Gu originated from the remote Miao region, and Jue Di wouldn't have appeared in your Lan family for no reason."

Lan Yingying was a smart person and immediately understood the implication in Chu Tian's words.

"Mr. Chu, are you saying that my grandfather was cursed?"

Chu Tian nodded. "I'm just giving you a heads-up, but you'll need to investigate the specifics yourself."

Lan Yingying frowned slightly, and her expression became serious.

"I know what to do now, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Chu."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Lan Yingying's eyes.

In fact, she had already had her suspicions from the moment the Bloodthirsty Gu was killed.

Furthermore, the Lan family is heavily guarded and has very strict requirements for its servants.

All the servants were trusted confidants who had undergone rigorous selection and multiple tests.

Therefore, if Lan Tianmu's Gu worms were truly created intentionally, only someone very close to him could have done it.

Who could this person be?

Second uncle?

In a short moment, countless figures flashed through Lan Yingying's mind, finally settling on Lan Shiping.

Chu Tian didn't care about so much. He had said what he needed to say. As for what Lan Yingying did, that was their family matter.

I hailed a taxi and drove straight there.

As Lan Yingying watched the taxi speed away from her sight, a hint of reluctance appeared in her eyes.

Whether it's medical skills, character, or even Chu Tian's reminder just now.

All of this proves Chu Tian's ability and exceptional intelligence.

Such an outstanding man, isn't he exactly the future husband she's been dreaming of?

Unfortunately, Chu Tian is already taken; he is now the son-in-law of the Tang family.

"Someone is coming."

In a flash, Lan Yingying summoned her trusted servant.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

"Go, help me investigate Chu Tian's information thoroughly."

Lan Yingying's eyes gleamed, and a smug smile curved her lips.

"Remember, you must be extremely careful."

"It's best to pay close attention to his daily life, from clothing and food to his living conditions."

The servants were shocked; their young mistress was the most famous socialite in the entire three southwestern provinces.

Countless young masters from prominent families have tried to get close to her, but she has never even glanced at them.

Why are they now actively investigating Chu Tian?

Could it be...

What happens after the investigation is complete?

"Snatch him away from Tang Yurou?"

At that moment, a slightly mocking voice drifted over.

Lan Yingying turned around and saw that it was her father, and her pretty face immediately turned red.

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you think I'm the kind of person who steals other women's men?"

Lan Shize chuckled knowingly, "Otherwise, why would you investigate Chu Tian so thoroughly?"

Lan Yingying panicked and said shyly, "I was just curious about him because of his outstanding abilities!"

"Oh? Is that really so?" Lan Shize scrutinized him with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Lan Yingying stomped her feet in anger, "Dad, I'm a grown woman now, can't you leave me any privacy at all?"

"Hmph! You have no respect for people at all. I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, she stomped hard on Lan Shize's leather shoe and then stormed off.

Lan Shize winced in pain, and it took him a while to recover. He wore a bitter smile on his face.

"This girl is clearly smitten, but she's still refusing to admit it."

"but……"

Lan Shize looked in the direction Chu Tian had left, a deep longing flashing in his eyes.

"With Chu Tian's abilities, if he could join my Lan family..."

"In the future, the entire southwestern three provinces will be dominated by my Lan family."
