Seeing this scene, the expressions of the villagers present became very complicated. Not to mention the parents of Zhao Shiming and his group, none of them knew how to express their gratitude.

They all knew about the conflict between Zhao Shiming and his group and Zhao Xinyu. They had extorted Zhao Xinyu, the outsider, dug ditches, blocked doors, and splashed paint—anything they could think of. To seek revenge, they even poisoned the cattle and sheep of Han Li, Lu Ming, and others.

Now, Zhao Xinyu had not come to gawk but had saved their children. Although it was uncertain whether their children would truly survive, the mere act of saving them showed a magnanimity that everyone present admired.

"Han Li, go back and tell Brother Jiang to take out 100,000 yuan for their medical expenses. If it's not enough, we'll discuss it later," Zhao Xinyu said a few minutes later, after seeing Zhao Shiming and his group's breathing become steady. He put away the golden needles and looked at Han Li.

When he said this, everyone was stunned, and many people stared wide-eyed at Zhao Xinyu. Zhao Xinyu sighed deeply and looked at the surrounding villagers, "Delete the videos you just took. I just want to live a quiet life. I'm sure you understand what I mean." After saying this, Zhao Xinyu squeezed out of the crowd and left.

Less than a few minutes after Zhao Xinyu left, the 120 ambulance returned to the ravine. The emergency doctor, upon seeing that Zhao Shiming and his group of seven had regained spontaneous breathing and were breathing steadily, was amazed, as were the nurses who accompanied him.

They also asked Zhao Shiming's family and the villagers, but they all looked at the doctor with complicated expressions, making him feel embarrassed. In his mind, he thought it must have been a diagnostic error.

But upon reflection, a diagnostic error for one person was plausible, but for seven people simultaneously was unbelievable. Nevertheless, all seven were alive. They treated Zhao Shiming and his group while contacting the hospital to transport them for further treatment.

Subsequently, the emergency doctor shared this story, and many people found it incredible. Some even sought out the villagers who were present to find out what had happened during the time the doctor was away. To their surprise, all the villagers shook their heads.

The doctor was puzzled, but the villagers collectively refused to discuss what had happened that day, which made some curious people believe that the matter was not simple. There must be a miraculous doctor hidden in Xihan Ridge, otherwise, the seven people who had been declared hopeless would not have come back to life simultaneously.

At the Du family home, Du Mengnan excitedly returned, threw her handbag on the sofa, and sat next to her grandfather, Du Gang, holding his hand.

"Grandpa, I have something to tell you, and I'm sure you'll be interested."

Du Yongchang and his wife looked at Du Mengnan. Since May Day, their daughter had been happy every day, often sitting alone and smiling to herself. They knew she must be in love.

Moreover, they knew that the confident and high-minded daughter had chosen Zhao Xinyu, whom the old man had always praised highly.

Xu Mei didn't react much, but Du Yongchang was somewhat resistant. He had met Zhao Xinyu and knew he was a rare good young man, but he felt that Zhao Xinyu and his daughter Du Mengnan were from vastly different backgrounds.

Now that his daughter was back and said she had something the old man would be interested in, it must be related to Zhao Xinyu, as almost everything she had talked about recently was about him.

Du Gang laughed, "What is it?"

"Grandpa, let me tell you, Zhao Xinyu's medical skills are truly miraculous. Just a few days ago, when Zhao Shiming and his group were buried and the doctors declared them dead, Zhao Xinyu saved all seven of them in just a few minutes."

Du Yongchang was slightly stunned and shook his head, "Mengmeng, this is too incredible. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray such a scene. You're young, but you can't be blinded. You must choose your path in life carefully; making the wrong choice will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Du Gang shook his head, "Mengmeng, your father doesn't believe you, but I do. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe it, but if it's Zhao Xinyu, I do."

Du Yongchang smiled bitterly, not daring to contradict the old man.

Seeing Du Yongchang's bitter smile, Du Gang looked at his son, "Don't forget what happened to Uncle Luo. Almost all the doctors were at a loss, but after three days with Xinyu, the old leader was revived. We talked on the phone a few days ago. The old leader said that many of his ailments have disappeared, and the physical examination results have even made the so-called famous doctors blush. The old leader has at least twenty more years to live."

"This is too incredible. Perhaps it's just a coincidence...?"

Du Gang sighed slightly, "Older brother, traditional Chinese medicine is profound, and you know too little. Do you know Hu Bi?"

Hearing this name, Du Gang's face immediately showed a hint of respect. Hu Bi was a towering figure in the Chinese medical community, and his influence was immense. Moreover, Hu Bi had done a favor for the Du family, making him one of the most respected people.

"Do you know that Hu Lao is now looking for Zhao Xinyu?"

"Father, then why...?"

Du Gang looked at Du Mengnan, "Mengmeng, tell your parents what happened on the day of Zhao Xinyu's traditional Chinese medicine examination."

When Du Mengnan recounted what Zhao Xinyu did on the day of the examination to Du Yongchang and Xu Mei, even the serious Du Yongchang couldn't help but smile.

They couldn't imagine that Zhao Xinyu, who was well-mannered and impeccable in his dealings, would have the audacity to call Hu Bi "little brother."

"Father, so Hu Lao is looking for Zhao Xinyu to punish him?"

"No, Zhao Xinyu's talent in traditional Chinese medicine is too high. Hu Lao wants to find him and cultivate him to become a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."

Du Gang's words left Du Yongchang speechless, staring at his father in disbelief.

Du Gang sighed, "Older brother, don't underestimate Xinyu. I know you don't know about the good things between Mengmeng and Xinyu. I can tell you that Mengmeng is actually the one who is reaching up to Xinyu, even without his medical skills."

"Father." This time, not only Du Yongchang and Xu Mei, but even Du Mengnan was taken aback.

Du Gang sighed deeply, "You'll understand in the future."

Although the father didn't reveal the reason, Du Mengnan and her parents could tell from his expression that the old man was telling the truth. This made them wonder what made Zhao Xinyu, a village boy from a rural area, so different. If he had any background, he wouldn't have had to deliver food or collect waste.

Seeing their expressions, Du Gang smiled faintly and looked at Du Mengnan, "Mengmeng, be careful when you go out. Uncle Guan from Guangzhou called me. His granddaughter almost got into trouble in Pengcheng."

"It was Tongtong."

Du Gang nodded, "Someone tried to harm Tongtong, and she almost suffered a great deal. If it weren't for the person who saved her, Pengcheng and Guangzhou would have been in chaos by now."

"What happened to make Uncle Guan so angry?" Du Yongchang asked, frowning as he thought about the recent events in Pengcheng and Guangzhou.

"Someone tried to assault Guan Bingtong, and she almost suffered a great deal."

Du Mengnan's face turned pale, and she suddenly remembered her first encounter with Zhao Xinyu. If she hadn't met Zhao Xinyu that day, she....

After that incident, she had thought about telling her grandfather, but considering the relationship between the two families and her grandfather's personality, she didn't say anything. Now that Guan Bingtong had an incident, she felt that it might be related to that despicable rascal.

"Father, I forgot to mention something. A few days ago, Uncle Hu sent someone over, trying to arrange a match between Mengmeng and Zhenyu. The boy is well-mannered, and I think he's not bad."

Du Mengnan's face turned pale, and she stood up with a hint of anger, "Father, I disagree. I would rather die than have anything to do with that scoundrel Hu Zhenyu."

Du Mengnan's sudden outburst surprised Du Yongchang and Xu Mei, as their daughter had never reacted so strongly before.

Du Gang shook his head, "Older brother, you said not to be blinded by the present. Mengmeng can be friends with others, but not with the Hus. The old man Hu is not the same as he used to be. Don't talk about the Hus at home, and stay away from them. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you."

Du Mengnan picked up her handbag from the coffee table, and Xu Mei couldn't help but ask, "Mengmeng, it's already dark. Where are you going?"

"To Zhao Xinyu's place."

Du Gang's face showed a faint smile, "Mengmeng, when you come back tomorrow, ask that boy to cook me a pot of carp soup. I haven't had it in a long time."

"Father, they have nothing. How can you let Mengmeng stay overnight there? If it gets out, it won't sound good."

Du Gang laughed, "I'm afraid people won't know. Mengmeng and Xinyu's relationship is settled. I'm looking forward to them giving me a grandchild soon. Older brother, Xinyu is very popular with women. Mengmeng must hold onto him tightly. You might not know, but the old leader also plans to have his younger relatives interact with Xinyu, and he said they can if they want to."

"Ah," Du Yongchang and Xu Mei were completely stunned. The old leader's status was so high, and he had such thoughts. What qualities did Zhao Xinyu have that attracted them?
