I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 547 - 444: Target_2

All the cancer cells in Old Master Fang’s body seemed to vanish the moment Xia Liang spoke that single sentence, disappearing completely. None of the physicians at the hospital could believe it, nor could they understand how it was achieved. It was, quite simply, the greatest medical miracle in history. And all of it was because of just one sentence.

Afterward, the hospital wanted to conduct more tests, but Old Master Fang had already returned to the Fang Family home.

That night, the Fang Family held a grand banquet to thank Xia Liang. Old Master Fang even wanted to give all his shares to him. Xia Liang tried to refuse, but in the end, he couldn’t sway the old man and accepted a very small portion of the shares in Fangzun Group. The value of these shares was only a few hundred Yuan, a mere trifle.

「That night.」 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

In the guest room, Fang Youxue, dressed in pajamas, slowly knocked on Xia Liang’s door. Her face flushed, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You’ve solved so many problems for our Fang Family. I really don’t know how to thank you."

The next second, Fang Youxue moved forward and hugged Xia Liang.

...

COUGH, COUGH, COUGH...

A peaceful night passed.

「The next day.」

When Fang Youxue woke up, sunlight was already flooding the room, making it exceptionally bright. She reached out a hand, only to find that Xia Liang was no longer beside her.

"You’re finally awake? Come on, take me for a walk."

Xia Liang walked in from the bedroom doorway, still brushing his teeth. He had been delayed for several days because of Old Master Fang’s situation and hadn’t had a proper chance to go out and have fun yet.

"So, where do you want to go?"

...

While Xia Liang and Fang Youxue were strolling about, news of the events concerning the Fang Family gradually began to spread. Almost all of Jinhai City’s upper class had heard about Old Master Fang and knew that the Fang Family had met a remarkable master.

This man used no medicine and no divination. With just a single sentence, he had eradicated all the cancer cells in Old Master Fang’s body. He had saved Old Master Fang, who already had one foot in the Ghost Gate. Who knew, the old man might have even drunk half a bowl of Granny Meng’s soup of forgetfulness.

Old Master Fang’s critical illness had been common knowledge. Many prominent families from Jinhai City had visited him. So, when Old Master Fang started wandering around as if nothing was wrong, they were all utterly astonished. A simple investigation was all it took to reveal what had happened.

The news spread like wildfire. Such a story could never be kept secret in Jinhai City, especially given Old Master Fang’s prominent status.

Almost by the next day, a number of well-informed individuals had appeared outside the Fang Family’s home. They knelt before the residence, begging Xia Liang to save one of their family members.

Following Xia Liang’s prior instructions, Old Master Fang told everyone that Xia Liang had already left and that the Fang Family was not well acquainted with him. But those who could track down information about Xia Liang’s existence were no ordinary people. They didn’t believe the Fang Family’s story and continued to wait at their doorstep. At its peak, there were dozens of people kneeling outside the Fang residence.

Eventually, the Fang Family, overwhelmed by the disturbance, closed their gates and moved to another one of their villas. After all, they had several properties in Jinhai City.

However, among the crowd were people whom even Old Master Fang found it difficult to refuse. He had no choice but to contact Xia Liang.

And Xia Liang’s response was always the same three phrases.

"No saving. No treating. No meeting."

After all, Xia Liang wasn’t running a charity. He had saved Old Master Fang and helped the Fang Family largely because of his connection to Fang Youxue. He had no reason to help others. He wanted people to understand that he helped only when he was willing to, not just because someone asked him to save a life.

Given Xia Liang’s attitude, the rumors about him should have gradually faded away. But within a few days, the discussions about him, instead of decreasing, grew even more frequent.

The rumor was that many people, while wandering near the Fang Family’s other villas, had encountered a young man accompanied by the Fang Family’s young miss. This young man needed no medicine or talismans. With just a single sentence, he could cure their hidden ailments. No matter how much pain they had been in before, a single word from the young man would see them spring back to life, full of vigor, all their illnesses gone.

Among these rumors, the story of Old Master Li was the most shocking.

Old Master Li was an old comrade-in-arms of Old Master Fang. In his youth, his legs had atrophied, leaving him unable to walk for decades and confined to a wheelchair. After learning of Xia Liang’s existence, he had called Old Master Fang to ask about him. But Old Master Fang felt helpless, knowing Xia Liang would certainly refuse. Instead, he revealed a location to Old Master Li: a Fang Family villa within Shen Jinhai City.

Old Master Li went to the villa that very day and waited outside all night.

The next day, the Li Family members who came to pick up Old Master Li found him jogging with a few older women, without a single trace of his former mobility impairment.

As a result, even more people flocked to the Fang Family’s doorstep. Some even began kneeling at the Li Family’s home. But in the end, the only thing they managed to learn was the young man’s name: Xia Liang.

...

「A few nights later.」

Standing before a huge floor-to-ceiling window, Xia Liang quietly gazed at the scenery of Shenhai City. Not far away was the Huang Jiang, the lights along its banks shining with exceptional brilliance.

At that moment, however, Xia Liang’s gaze was fixed on a seaside dock at the edge of his vision. In that direction, faint flickers of fire seemed to be dancing.

"Brother Xia? What are you looking at?" Fang Youxue asked, wrapping her arms around him from behind.

"I’m looking at Jinhai City. From this position, we can see the entire Huang Jiang."

Almost as soon as Xia Liang finished speaking, Fang Youxue’s phone rang.

"Dad? Why are you calling so late?"

"I’m not looking for you. Master Xia’s phone is off. Is he there with you?"

"Yes, he is."

Fang Youxue handed the phone to Xia Liang.

"Master Xia? Is that you? Something’s happened!"

Hearing the anxious voice on the phone, Xia Liang simply replied slowly, "I know."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Come pick me up."

Afterward, Xia Liang gave Fang Ding his location.

"What’s wrong?" Fang Youxue asked, puzzled.

Xia Liang frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the distance.

"A warehouse your family owns at the docks is on fire. Next to it, there are a lot of dangerous chemicals. If they explode, the blast could affect all of Jinhai!"

Sitting in the car sent by Fang Ding, Xia Liang calmly watched the distant, illuminated night sky. As they drew closer to the docks, the blaze grew fiercer. In just a few dozen minutes, the fire had raged out of control. The initial security cordon, once a kilometer out, had been pushed back several kilometers.

Outside the cordon, members of the media who had received the news had already arrived, but they were denied entry.

"Can you please tell us the latest? What caused this fire? How did it start?"

"That’s right! We heard there are a lot of dangerous chemicals stored at the docks. If the fire reaches them, will it pose a greater danger?"

"I hear this fire is related to Fangzun Group! They knew there were dangerous chemicals in the next warehouse, yet they stored flammable materials right beside it. They can’t escape responsibility for this fire!"

As that voice rose from the crowd, the media’s attention shifted toward the speaker.

"Sir, it sounds like you know a lot of the inside details. Can you tell us?"

"Yes, I’m willing to pay for your information!"

Just as countless reporters swarmed the man, a sedan slowly approached from a distance. After recognizing the license plate, the fire brigade at the cordon immediately let it through.

Seeing this, the surrounding media rushed forward, trying to interview the car’s occupant. But they were all blocked outside the cordon, left with only the sight of a young figure in the sedan’s back seat.

A few minutes later, the sedan reached the docks.

Several hundred meters away, the warehouse was engulfed in towering flames.
