“Well… what do you want to talk about?”

Tang Ziyan respected Chu Qing a lot. He was a powerful martial artist qualified to speak to her as an equal.

“The World Treasures auction is happening in two days.”

The World Treasures Auction House?

Tang Ziyan naturally knew about this famous auction house, but she didn’t know why Chu Qing suddenly mentioned it.

“I didn’t know until later that your family was in some trouble.”

Tang Ziyan nodded. There was no need to hide this from Chu Qing.

“I want to help you solve the Tang family’s problem.”

“Can you fix it?”

A glint suddenly appeared in Tang Ziyan’s eyes, but she was a little disappointed. She did not dare to have too much hope. Only she knew how troublesome this matter was. How could it be resolved by just an unaffiliated martial artist? If it was really so easy to resolve, she would not have to worry so much.

“First, tell me about the trouble your family has encountered. I have a rough understanding of it, but I don’t know much about it.”

At this moment, the coffee was served. Tang Ziyan took a sip and said slowly, “It happened a month ago. Our family is famous for refining medicine. We have dozens of pharmaceutical factories in Jinmen City alone.”

“In particular, we have a kind of pill that can only be refined with the help of people with inner spiritual energy. It’s also our company’s secret weapon. However, a month ago, that prescription was suddenly lost.”

“In addition, multiple families have recently teamed up to attack our Tang family. We found out that the Li family is involved with some of these families. I suspect that the owner of the Li family has a lot to do with this matter.”

The Li family again?

Chu Qing smiled. He didn’t expect the Li family to cause trouble everywhere. Not only did they want to overthrow the Ye family, but they also wanted to get involved in the Tang family’s mess. Wasn’t the Li family afraid of playing with fire?

“Then, Chu Qing, how can you help us solve this problem?”

Tang Ziyan looked at Chu Qing expectantly. She vaguely felt that Chu Qing was the hope of solving this problem!

“It’s simple.”

Chu Qing smiled evilly. In his eyes, it was really simple.

“Simple?”

“I just need to come up with a new formula.”

Tang Ziyan was taken aback, and a sense of disappointment flickered in her eyes. Creating a new formula wasn’t as easy as it sounded. It was a challenging process, as not only was the operation itself complicated, but also experimenting with the combination of various medicinal herbs was extremely difficult.

“How can it be so simple? Our family has dozens of research bases all over the country. After more than 20 years of research, we’ve only developed dozens of prescriptions. There’s only one that can be considered an absolute secret…”

“What if I have the prescription?”

Tang Ziyan was stunned.

Why does Chu Qing have the prescription?

“Yes, I have a few prescriptions.”

Although Tang Ziyan trusted Chu Qing very much, looking at Chu Qing’s casual expression, she was still a little upset. Chu Qing might not understand what a rare prescription was.

“Hmm… How about this? Let’s not talk about this for now. After the auction in two days, your family will pay attention to me. At that time, I can talk to you first.”

Chu Qing did not reveal much. If he said too much now, he might be treated as bragging, especially when he saw the trace of disbelief in Tang Ziyan’s eyes.

Don’t believe it, huh? In just two days, you won’t be able to deny it.

Tang Ziyan nodded slightly but also pondered.

Can Chu Qing really provide the prescription? Why does he have to wait until the auction two days later to tell me?

Tang Ziyan suddenly realized that she had developed a strong curiosity about this man. From the beginning, this man had a strange attraction to her, as if they were very familiar with each other. And now, this man kept surprising her. First, he was powerful in martial arts, and then he was likely to have the prescription in his hands.

Chu Qing called the waiter over. The two of them had planned to have lunch just now, but after this incident, they had yet to eat anything. He was already starving.

After casually ordering some food, the two of them fell silent.

“Why did you save me just now?”

Tang Ziyan suddenly looked up and asked a random question.

Chu Qing was eating a pastry when he heard Tang Ziyan’s words. He was suddenly stunned.

Why did I save her?

“Do I need a reason for that?”

Chu Qing ignored her and continued eating.

“Yes. If there’s no benefit, why would you risk being injured or even seriously injured to save me?”

Tang Ziyan cut to the chase and asked the question.

“Uh, I don’t know.”

Chu Qing finally stopped eating and looked up at Tang Ziyan, thinking hard.
