At this moment, Zhong Ying felt somewhat apprehensive. Could she really lift two hundred jin with one hand?
Such strength would be superhuman!
With a mix of trepidation, she first embraced the stone stool with both hands.
As she exerted force, Zhong Ying nearly tipped over.
She had expected to struggle to lift it, but it turned out to be so effortless.
Due to overexertion, she almost pulled her back.
This situation left Zhong Ying in disbelief.
How had her strength become so terrifying overnight?
Coupled with her agility, her combat power would undoubtedly be far more formidable than before.
But was this real?
Had she truly become this strong just by sleeping for one night?
This pill was more powerful than the legendary gene serum!
With a heart full of shock, Zhong Ying lifted the stone stool above her head.
Even with the stone stool overhead, Zhong Ying did not feel particularly tired.
She tentatively tried to lift it with one hand, and to her surprise, she succeeded!
A moment later, Zhong Ying returned to the dining room, her heart filled with astonishment.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu was eating some pickled vegetables. He smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you!"
"You... How did you do it?" Zhong Ying asked in shock.
"You don't need to know that. As long as you stick with me, no one will be able to bully you." Qin Hanchu gestured to the congee beside him and said, "This congee is also good for your body. Drink it."
Zhong Ying came to the dining table and sat down, picking up the bowl of congee to drink.
The congee was exceptionally fragrant and sweet, and drinking it brought a comfortable feeling to her body.
Zhong Ying simply assumed the congee was made from a rare variety of rice and did not attribute any special effects to it.
Qin Hanchu offered no explanation. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Is my car ready?"
"It's ready. I'll have someone bring it over shortly," Zhong Ying replied.
About half an hour later, a beautifully designed sports car appeared at Zhong Ying's villa.
This expensive sports car was the one Zhong Ying had prepared for Qin Hanchu.
Taking the keys from Zhong Ying, Qin Hanchu said, "If you're comfortable with me staying in your villa, you don't need to buy me another villa."
"This..."
Although Qin Hanchu had not done anything excessive to her, having a man stronger than her living in her home made her feel uneasy.
Getting into the car, Qin Hanchu drove the sports car away from Zhong Ying's villa.
...
At the City Hospital, Qiu Meiling underwent her examination accompanied by her family.
Not long after, the examination results were retrieved.
The Qiu family held a very high reputation and status in the locality. As the young lady of the Qiu family, Qiu Meiling naturally sought out the best specialists.
"Mrs. Qiu, your daughter's heart indeed has some issues. However, there's no need to worry too much; it's only in the early stages," said a professor in his sixties.
Upon learning that her daughter truly had heart disease, Mrs. Qiu hurriedly asked, "What is the treatment now?"
"At this stage, medication is the only option for control. If surgery is performed now, the effects will not be very significant," the professor mused. "As long as it's managed well, it won't affect her normal life within ten years."
"Can I engage in strenuous exercise?" Qiu Meiling still wished to advance further in martial arts. If this heart condition couldn't be cured, how could she continue her martial arts cultivation?
"It's best not to. You need to get plenty of rest, and be sure to avoid emotional agitation and excessive exertion," the professor advised.
After a long discussion with the professor, they were presented with only two options.
The first was to proceed with surgery immediately, and the second was to wait until the condition worsened before undergoing surgery.
Regardless of which option was chosen, Qiu Meiling would be unable to continue cultivating martial arts.
Under these circumstances, Qiu Meiling was naturally willing to try Qin Hanchu's prescription.
Four days later, Qiu Meiling returned to the hospital.
When the professor saw the latest examination report, he was utterly astonished, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Qiu Meiling had indeed suffered from heart disease before, but how had she recovered in just four days?
Could it be that their hospital had made a mistake in the examination?
"Professor, my illness?" Seeing the professor frozen in disbelief, Qiu Meiling asked urgently.
"Have you sought treatment from anyone recently?" the professor asked in shock.
Qiu Meiling nodded. "A doctor gave me a prescription, and I took it for three days. He was also the one who alerted me to my heart condition."
"Could you give me his contact information?"
"This is truly miraculous. Your heart condition has been completely cured."
Upon learning that Qiu Meiling's illness had been treated with Chinese medicine, the professor was even more shocked.
He wished to consult with Qin Hanchu in person.
Learning that her heart disease had truly been cured, Qiu Meiling was overjoyed.
...
Over the past few days, Qin Hanchu had explored the surrounding scenic spots.
As for the evenings, he continued to stay at Zhong Ying's villa.
After spending these days together, Zhong Ying's wariness towards Qin Hanchu had diminished significantly.
This afternoon, Qin Hanchu arrived at the park once again.
"Young fellow, I've finally been waiting for you."
As soon as Qin Hanchu appeared, Elder Qiu, accompanied by Qiu Meiling, came forward to greet him.
"You look well. Have you taken my prescription?" Qin Hanchu first glanced at Qiu Meiling, then smiled.
Qiu Meiling hurriedly bowed and expressed her gratitude. "Thank you for your prescription. My illness has been completely cured."
"I never expected that not only was the young fellow skilled in chess, but he is also a young miracle doctor," Elder Qiu exclaimed in admiration.
Qin Hanchu smiled. "Just a minor skill."
"Your minor skill has saved my granddaughter's life," Elder Qiu continued. "We are hosting a thank-you banquet tonight. Please do us the honor of attending."
Qin Hanchu shook his head. "The thank-you banquet is unnecessary. Just play two more games of chess with me."
"No, you must attend this thank-you banquet." Seeing Qin Hanchu about to decline the banquet, Elder Qiu hurriedly persuaded him. "Tonight, it will just be our family. We will certainly not make the young fellow feel awkward."
Qin Hanchu pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Alright, let's play two games of chess first."
Seeing Qin Hanchu agree, Elder Qiu smiled and nodded. "I couldn't ask for more."
To facilitate their conversation, Elder Qiu had not allowed anyone else to watch today.
While playing chess, Elder Qiu asked with a smile, "Young friend, are you also a martial artist?"
Qin Hanchu placed a piece and nodded. "Yes."
"May I ask what your realm is? Since you can discern my realm, you must not be weaker than me?"
"I cannot tell you my realm. You just need to know that I am very strong," Qin Hanchu said with a mysterious smile.
Hearing this, Elder Qiu's shock intensified.
Although Qin Hanchu had not stated it explicitly, Elder Qiu knew that Qin Hanchu's realm was definitely stronger than his own.
To reach such a realm at such a young age, surpassing that of a Grandmaster.
"Let's not discuss this further. Let's continue playing chess," Qin Hanchu said.
"Alright, let's play chess." Elder Qiu suppressed the shock in his heart and replied.
Playing chess is a time-consuming affair. Without realizing it, it was already evening.
Qin Hanchu packed up the chessboard and said, "Give me the address. I'll drive there myself."
