Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Seeing Han Qingtian awake, Han Chuxue rushed over excitedly. "Grandpa, you've finally woken up!"

Han Qingtian looked at Han Chuxue blankly. "Chuxue, what's going on? How did I suddenly end up in a hospital bed?"

Tears welled in Han Chuxue's eyes. "Grandpa, you suddenly fainted earlier and started foaming at the mouth. Several groups of doctors came to see you, but they all said there was nothing they could do..."

Gradually coming to his senses, Han Qingtian looked up. The first person he saw was Zhao Shiren, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Divine Doctor Zhao? Could it be you who saved me? Please accept this old one's bow of gratitude!"

As Han Qingtian struggled to get out of bed, Zhao Shiren smiled bitterly, his face full of embarrassment. "Patriarch Han, it wasn't me who saved you..."

Taken aback, Han Qingtian's gaze fell upon Zhao Dong standing to the side. The moment he saw Zhao Dong, he was stunned. "Young Friend Zhao? What are you doing here?"

Han Chuxue wiped the corner of her eye. "Grandpa, it was Zhao Dong who saved you."

"What?!" His face a mask of shock, Han Qingtian turned to Zhao Dong with immense excitement. "Young Friend Zhao, I have been shortsighted! To think someone as young as you possesses such extraordinary medical skills! Please accept this old man's bow of respect!"

Zhao Dong stepped forward to support him, smiling. "Old Master Han, you're too kind. You helped me before, so it's only right that I help you now."

Han Qingtian said emotionally, "The help I gave you was trivial, but you, Young Friend Zhao, have saved my life! You are my savior and the savior of the Han Family. From this day forward, the Han Family is willing to live or die by your side! We stand with you on the same front!"

Zhao Dong looked deeply at Han Qingtian, a wave of emotion washing over him. He knew exactly what those words meant. Han Qingtian knew his opponent was Xiao Hongtian, and by saying this now, he was making his stance unequivocally clear. The Han Family's willingness to stand with him against the Xiao Family was a sign of the utmost sincerity.

Just then, Han Jianping furrowed his brow. "Dad, aren't you being too serious? Zhao Dong has already offended the Xiao Family. Standing with him means making an enemy of the Xiao Family!"

Han Qingtian's face turned cold. "I'm not dead yet. I'm still the one who makes decisions for the Han Family! Do you have an objection?"

Han Jianping's face went pale, and he gritted his teeth. "Dad, I have no objections. I will obey your decision unconditionally!"

"Good that you know!" Han Qingtian retorted with a cold snort. "Jianping, while you are more cunning than your brother, you can be narrow-minded and lack his vision. Cunning is all you have. I hope you can learn from your second brother. The heir of the Han Family must not only be shrewd but also grateful. More importantly, they need a generous heart and a broad perspective. Do you understand?"

A cold sweat broke out on Han Jianping's brow. This is a reprimand!

He replied bitterly, "Dad, I understand..."

Beside them, Han Jian'an was all smiles as he walked over to Han Qingtian. "Dad! We owe a great debt to Young Friend Zhao today. If it weren't for him, you would have been in real danger. It was a true life-or-death situation. Young Friend Zhao was being sent away, but luckily, I called him back."

These words were meant for Han Qingtian. Upon hearing them, he immediately frowned. "Young Friend Zhao was sent away? Who sent him away?"

Han Jianping went pale and glared daggers at Han Jian'an, who simply pretended not to see.

"Big Brother sent him away," Han Jian'an said. "He kept saying that Young Friend Zhao had no real skill and was just putting on a mysterious act..."

"Absurd! Ridiculous!" Enraged, Han Qingtian glared at his eldest son and shouted, "Han Jianping, apologize to Young Friend Zhao immediately! Then you will reflect on your actions for three days!"

With a bitter expression, Han Jianping protested, "Dad, I... I'm the President of the Han Corporation. How can I apologize to this person?"

Han Qingtian answered coldly, "I will not repeat myself. Your performance as president is a failure. Your vision and magnanimity don't compare to your second brother's in the slightest!"

Han Jianping's scalp tingled. He glanced at Zhao Dong, clenched his jaw, and finally relented. "Young friend Zhao Dong, I was wrong before. I misunderstood you and spoke rudely. I apologize for my previous words."

Zhao Dong glanced at Han Jianping. If this man weren't Han Chuxue's father, I wouldn't even give him the time of day. But I did sleep with his daughter, which technically makes him my father-in-law. He responded lightly, "It's fine. I didn't take it to heart."

Han Jianping couldn't voice his bitterness and could only sigh internally. Damn it. Today, the eagle was truly pecked blind by a chicken. Zhao Dong actually knows medicine... it's incredible. And the Old Master treasures him so much. In that case, if I have my daughter Han Chuxue get closer to him... wouldn't the position of Patriarch be mine for the taking?

At this thought, Han Jianping's mood instantly improved. His entire demeanor shifted as he turned to Zhao Dong with a beaming smile. "Zhao Dong, I really wasn't thinking when I spoke earlier, and I was genuinely worried about the Old Master's health... I'd like to offer you another sincere apology. Please don't hold it against me."

Zhao Dong glanced at him, surprised by the sudden change in attitude, but didn't dwell on it. "It's fine," he said indifferently. "Being able to admit and correct one's mistakes is what matters."

Beside them, Han Qingtian chuckled. "Alright, Young Friend Zhao, you've done the Han Family a great service today. How about this? Name your price for the consultation."

Zhao Dong smiled faintly as Han Jian'an chimed in with a laugh, "Dad, I haven't told you yet. I took the liberty of deciding to give our young friend Zhao Dong a ten million yuan consultation fee. In addition, I decided to give him the East Sea International Hotel, which is under our family's assets. Dad, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Shock flashed in Han Chuxue's beautiful eyes. Has Second Uncle gone mad? Ten million yuan is one thing, but the East Sea International Hotel was an investment of nearly 1.1 billion! It's one of the largest and most luxurious hotels in East Sea, and he's just giving it away?

To her surprise, Han Qingtian's face was wreathed in smiles. "Good! What a splendid idea! Jian'an, your father didn't misjudge you. You handle matters far better than your older brother! Furthermore, I've decided to add a hundred-year-old Ganoderma to the gift!"

He turned to Zhao Dong with a smile. "Young Friend Zhao, I hope you find this gift satisfactory?"

Zhao Dong exclaimed, "Old Master Han, this gift is far too generous. The Ganoderma alone would suffice."

Han Qingtian chuckled. "There's no need to be polite; you've earned it. You are now the Han Family's savior! From now on, the Han Family stands with you!"

Having navigated the business world for many years, Han Qingtian was no fool. Zhao Dong was young yet formidably strong, capable of defeating a grandmaster like Hong Wu's 'Little Six Fortunes'. It was incredible; he had the potential of a dragon in transformation! He himself was only at the ninth level of Inner Strength and was no match for a grandmaster, yet Zhao Dong could already kill one. Such potential was nothing short of terrifying! More importantly, Zhao Dong also possessed such profound medical skills. Befriending him was like giving the Han Family an extra life! Looked at this way, it wasn't Zhao Dong who was getting the better end of the deal, but his own Han Family!

"Young Friend Zhao, don't leave for lunch. Please stay and eat with us."

Zhao Dong smiled. "Thank you, Old Master, but I really should..."

"Absolutely not! You are our honored guest, and the Han Family must host you today, no matter what. Please, indulge this old man."

Seeing the hopeful look in Han Qingtian's eyes and hearing him put it that way, Zhao Dong could only offer a wry smile and helplessly agree.

Nearby, Han Chuxue watched Zhao Dong in silence, biting her tender lower lip, her thoughts a tangled mess. This guy... he even knows such profound medical arts. It's unbelievable. We're about the same age, but I feel like a child next to him. He's like some big shot who can do anything...

"By the way, Chuxue," Han Qingtian said, "you and Young Friend Zhao should get to know each other better. You're about the same age, and he's outstanding in every way. You won't lose out by associating with him."

Han Chuxue blushed. How did the conversation suddenly jump to this? "Grandpa... what are you talking about!" she said, flustered.

Han Qingtian laughed heartily and looked at Zhao Dong. "Young Friend Zhao, what do you think of my granddaughter Chuxue? This old man thinks very highly of you two. If you were to start dating, you have my full support!"

"Grandpa!" Han Chuxue wished a crack in the floor would swallow her whole. She clenched her teeth, her face so red it felt like it could bleed.

Beside her, Zhao Dong scratched his head with a wry smile. "Patriarch Han... let's not bring this up for now. I don't have any such thoughts at the moment."

Han Chuxue stiffened. She glanced at Zhao Dong, her delicate brows knitting together in a flicker of displeasure.

'No such thoughts at the moment'? Is he really not interested, or is he rejecting me? I, Han Chuxue, am one of the Four Great Beauties of East Sea! The line of men pursuing me would stretch for several streets! It's one thing for you, Zhao Dong, not to suck up to me, but to politely turn me down? I can reject you, but you can't reject me... Unacceptable! She clenched her small fists, shooting a cold glare at Zhao Dong, thoroughly displeased.

Han Qingtian just laughed. "Alright, alright, alright, you're young people, so it's not good for us old folks to interfere too much. But Chuxue is a good girl. There are countless talented young men in East Sea City pursuing her, but I, Han Qingtian, have my sights set on you."

Zhao Dong's expression grew pensive, then suddenly turned serious. "Patriarch Han, there's another very important matter I need to discuss with you."
