156: Wang Qiang visited

In less than twenty minutes, a commotion broke out downstairs at the hotel.

A motorcade of several black bulletproof Maybachs, led by a rolls-royce Cullinan, pulled up at the hotel entrance. The doors opened in unison, and dozens of bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses quickly stepped out, forming two human walls at the entrance to block off all passersby and clear an absolute path!

In Kimchi Country, the chaebols are the ones who are truly unscrupulous!

Clearing an area is simply a common occurrence.

Passersby were kept at a distance and didn't dare say a word; the philosophy that money is king was already deeply rooted here.

The hotel manager came running out, bowing and scraping, cold sweat soaking his back.

Indeed, such a display could only be seen in Seoul when a chaebol was on the move!

Wang Qiang stepped out from the back seat of the Cullinan. He was of medium build with a shrewd face, wearing a well-tailored suit. His every movement carried the natural authority of someone who had long held a high position.

This Huaxia person had long since taken Kimchi Country citizenship. With assets exceeding one trillion won—equivalent to over 5 billion in huaxia currency—he could just barely squeeze into the chaebol circle.

But the moment he stepped into the hotel lobby, all the majesty on his face actually turned into a hint of nervousness.

Led by the hotel manager, he headed straight for the top-floor presidential suite with his core team.

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang, and Xia Rushuang casually opened the door.

As soon as Wang Qiang saw Xia Rushuang, his voice was loud and respectful: "Miss Xia! You didn't even notify me of your arrival; I should have come to welcome you."

"What are you all standing there for? Pay your respects to Miss Xia."

The group of executives behind him also bent down in unison: "Good afternoon, Miss Xia!"

"Uncle Wang, you're being too polite. I'm just here to have some fun, it's not like a state visit."

After opening the door, Xia Rushuang turned back to the living room and rushed to a man's side.

Wang Qiang laughed heartily, but when he saw the scene inside the room, he froze instantly.

On the expensive leather sofa in the living room, a young man was leaning back lazily, looking relaxed.

And the Eldest Miss of the Xia family—who was usually so high and mighty she wouldn't even deign to look at people—was now half-kneeling on the carpet in front of the man. Her slender fingers picked up a peeled crystal grape and carefully fed it to the man's mouth, her eyes filled with an overflowing tenderness and focus.

Wang Qiang's heart lurched!

He had watched Xia Rushuang grow up and knew her temperament all too well! She was haughty, proud as a white swan! Even when facing the top young Masters of Huaxia, he had never seen her show even a hint of such deference!

But this man before him... just what was his identity?

To have the Eldest Miss of the Xia family serve him so humbly... wouldn't his background be astronomical?!

In Kimchi Country, whoever has money is the boss, but in Huaxia Country, money is worthless in the face of power!

Wang Qiang instantly raised Cao Lang's danger level to the highest. His attitude became even more respectful than before as he cautiously walked into the room, his very posture showing a sense of restraint.

"Rushuang, this is..."

"My man, Cao Lang." Xia Rushuang didn't even turn her head, her tone flat as if she were stating the most normal thing in the world.

"Mr. Cao! Hello, hello!" Wang Qiang extended his hand.

Cao Lang only gave a faint "mm," took another grape from Xia Rushuang's hand, then stood up to give Wang Qiang a token handshake before sitting back down.

This posture clearly showed he didn't take Wang Qiang seriously.

The more he acted like this, the more apprehensive Wang Qiang felt.

He tentatively expressed concern: "Eldest Miss, is your body holding up during this visit to Seoul? Seoul is densely populated and quite noisy, your heart..."

He remembered clearly that Xia Rushuang had congenital heart disease, which was a lifelong heartache for Old Master Xia. For this illness, Wang Qiang had also used all his connections, searching the world for famous doctors and even inviting the top cardiology experts from Pretty Country for a consultation, but the results were all futile, and she could only rely on medication to maintain her condition.

To his surprise, Xia Rushuang just smiled casually after hearing this.

"Uncle Wang, you mean that."

She stretched, her perfect curves fully revealed.

"It's completely cured."

"Cu... cured?" Wang Qiang thought he had misheard, his eyes widening like copper bells.

How was this possible! A disease that top doctors all over the world had pronounced a "death sentence," and even the chief imperial physicians were helpless against—how could it be cured just like that?

"Yes," Xia Rushuang's gaze turned to Cao Lang, her admiration and worship unconcealed. "Thanks to Cao Lang, he gave me a pill, and it cured me."

Holy shit!

So badass!

What kind of international joke is this!

Just one pill... cured an incurable disease that had plagued two generations of the Xia family?

Wang Qiang stared fixedly at Cao Lang. This seemingly ordinary young man instantly became unfathomable in his eyes, even... somewhat divine!

This could no longer be explained by an "astronomical background"!

This was the method of an immortal!

Wang Qiang had spent half his life adrift in the business world and had seen many strange people and events, but none could compare to what was before him!

That's right! It's said that in Huaxia Country, there are some hidden families, among which there's no shortage of Masters. They possess extraordinary skills and never enter the mundane world. Could it be?

Wang Qiang was also a native-born Huaxia person and always held a sense of awe for the unknown.

The prayer beads on his wrist were all obtained at a high price after being consecrated. He was internally willing to believe in things that exceeded scientific explanation!

His brain whirled rapidly, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!

Chairman Lee Jae-yong of the Two Star Group!

The man who held the economic lifeblood of Kimchi Country had been in declining health in recent years. He had sought famous doctors everywhere to no avail, and it was said to have reached a very serious stage! Because of this, undercurrents were surging within the Two Star Group!

If he could act as a middleman... and invite this Mr. Cao to take action... that would make the entire Two Star Group, and even all of Kimchi Country, owe him a massive favor!

Thinking of this, Wang Qiang's breathing became rapid, and an incredibly burning light burst from his eyes!

This was a god-given opportunity! Boundless wealth!

Throughout Kimchi Country, chaebols whose health was failing were everywhere.

Because here, as long as you have money, you can play with celebrities and models as you please. Many chaebols are addicted to wine and women every day. Even if their lives aren't in danger, their "functions" in that department are mostly failing.

If this young man could cure Rushuang's terminal illness, then treating other minor ailments would surely be a piece of cake?

If so, he must get to know him well!

If these interpersonal relationships were managed properly, his assets could at least increase dozens of times over!

After all, in the world of chaebols, social connections and favors are the most important things!

But before that, he still had to personally test this young man's strength.

Perhaps the kind of pill Xia Rushuang mentioned was just an irreplaceable heirloom of some family.
