After killing Wang Luohao, Ding Fan dared not take the main roads. He fled the scene along a back road at a breakneck pace.

There was no denying that technology had advanced too far. There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and if he wasn't careful, it would be very easy for these cameras to capture him. That would put him in a very dangerous situation.

Ding Fan ran non-stop for at least forty or fifty kilometers. He didn't head back to Dancheng, fearing that being spotted there would connect him to Wang Luohao's death. Although Ding Fan had reached the Third Level of Qi Cultivation, there were still many masters of Ancient Martial Arts on Earth, not to mention high-tech weapons like guns and cannons... So he remained cautious.

After nearly a night of running, Ding Fan arrived at a small town. Without any rest, he immediately hailed a taxi.

Ding Fan had made his own plans. Until the matter with Wang Luohao was resolved, he couldn't return to Dancheng. So, before then, he planned to make a trip to Dongcheng first.

When he returned to Dancheng, Ding Fan had a chance encounter with Ning Luoxi. He was interested in the storage ring on her neck. Since he couldn't go back to Dancheng for the time being, he could take care of business in Dongcheng.

After offering a hefty fare, the taxi driver didn't hesitate and drove directly toward Dongcheng.

At that time, Ning Luoxi had given Ding Fan her address, so finding Ning Luoxi's home was not a difficult task for him.

"Ning Luoxi, ever since our father was diagnosed with cancer, spending money has been like pouring water, and today I've come to settle this account with you."

Following the address Ning Luoxi gave him, Ding Fan found a Medicine Shop, but before he could enter, there was a commotion inside. At that moment, there was already quite a crowd gathered at the entrance of the Medicine Shop.

Ding Fan squeezed through the crowd and saw the situation inside the shop.

There was a haughty woman with her hands on her hips, pointing aggressively at Ning Luoxi's nose, as if she were scolding her.

"Sister, please keep your voice down. If you're too loud, Dad will hear you," Ning Luoxi said to the haughty woman with concern.

The haughty woman was Ning Luoxi's sister, Ning Luomei. She snorted coldly when she heard Ning Luoxi's plea. "Ning Luoxi, are you still afraid of Dad hearing us? He's already unconscious. I reckon it's just a matter of days now."

"You…" Ning Luoxi's brows furrowed tightly; she couldn't believe her sister would say such a thing.

"We're all adults here, so let's talk about it. After Dad dies, how should we divide the inheritance?" Ning Luomei said as she lit a cigarette.

"Sister, isn't this a bit too much? Dad is still there and you're already talking about dividing the inheritance..."

"Ning Luoxi, stop pretending to be filial," interjected a slick-haired man who joined them. "Do you think we don't know what you're up to? Ever since Dad got cancer, you quit school and stayed at home to take care of him, but all you're after is to inherit everything once he passes away."

"Brother-in-law... How can you say that?" Ning Luoxi was caught off guard by his accusation, and tears of injustice began to blur her vision.

"Qin Han, there's no need to waste words on her," Ning Luomei glanced disdainfully at the man named Qin Han before turning back to Ning Luoxi. "Today, while the old man still breathes, let's divide the house."

"Sister, you've been away these past days and might not know. Dad's condition still requires money, and besides, there's no money left at home," Ning Luoxi said.

"Dad's in the late stages of cancer; what's the point in treating him now? It's just throwing money away. Your sister and I came here today because we're worried you might do something foolish, like selling the house for Dad's treatment," Qin Han said, seemingly with concern.

"The house might be out of money, but what about this Medicine Shop? I don't care how much you've saved up or how much you've spent, but one thing's clear, this shop must be mine," Ning Luomei stated confidently.

Ding Fan, listening from the side, frowned deeply. Although he hadn't known Ning Luoxi long, he was sure she had indeed spent all her savings on her father's illness, otherwise, she wouldn't be picking herbs alone in the mountains with a medicine basket.

As for Ning Luomei, she clearly looked like a domineering person. From their conversation, Ding Fan could tell that she hadn't shown up when her father fell ill, and it seemed she only appeared now, fearing all the money would be spent on medical treatments.

"Sister, I beg you, if you insist on dividing the family, can we not do it right now? Dad is seriously ill, and if he found out, it would just hasten his death... Sister, I don't want anything; I just want you to let Dad leave this world peacefully…" Ning Luoxi pleaded.

"Enough, don't say any more," Ning Luomei cut her off before Ning Luoxi could finish. "You've always been the clever one, plotting well. If you sell the house and disappear, then what about me? If you truly don't want to upset the old man, hand over the property deed to the shop right now."

Ning Luoxi's brow furrowed with helplessness. This shop represented her father's lifetime of hard work. She knew her sister and brother-in-law were never serious about anything. If they got their hands on the Medicine Shop, it would likely just be sold for their own frivolous spending.

```

However, if I don't give them the property deed now, if they keep causing such a scene, Father will surely pass away soon.

"Luoxi, I'm here." Just as Ning Luoxi was at her wits' end, Ding Fan walked in from the outside of the crowd.

"You... how did you get here?" Ning Luoxi's eyes lit up when she saw Ding Fan. She clearly remembered that Ding Fan once said he had a friend who could treat terminal liver cancer. "Has your friend who can cure diseases arrived?"

Before Ding Fan could even open his mouth, Ning Luomei, who was standing to the side, spoke up first. "Kid, who do you think you are? Don't tell me you're Luoxi's lover from the wild?"

Ding Fan's frown tightened. Her words were simply too unpleasant. Saying in front of so many onlookers that he was her sister's lover from the wild...

"Sister... don't talk nonsense!" Ning Luoxi said with a flushed face.

"Hmph, you think we'll be scared of you because you called for backup? Let me tell you, Ning Luoxi, if you don't give me the property deed for the Medicine Shop today, I will definitely not let this matter rest."

"I think, in this case, since the Medicine Shop is the old man's, why not let the old man come out and speak for himself?" Ding Fan suggested from the side.

"Humph, kid, are you trying to delay the time?" Ning Luomei snorted coldly. "The old man has been unconscious from morning till now; it's questionable whether he can even wake up."

"So, you're pressing aggressively because you're sure the old man won't wake up, is that it?" Ding Fan said calmly to Ning Luomei on the side.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Be careful or I'll deal with you..." At this moment, Qin Han pointed his finger at Ding Fan's nose and said.

How could Ding Fan possibly be pointed at the nose without making a move?

Ding Fan immediately grabbed Qin Han's right index finger that was pointing at his nose. As soon as Ding Fan applied force, the sound of bones breaking crisply echoed. Qin Han immediately screamed in agony and knelt down on the ground.

"You... you actually hit someone..." Ning Luomei's face turned extremely ugly. Coming up and directly breaking someone's finger, such behavior was simply beastly. "Ning Luoxi, you actually brought an outsider to bully me, are you trying to monopolize the old man's property?!"

"If you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite..." Ding Fan's tone was somewhat icy.

Although Ning Luomei was extremely domineering in front of Ning Luoxi, she felt somewhat intimidated in front of Ding Fan. There's a saying that the soft are afraid of the hard. In Ning Luomei's eyes, Ning Luoxi was the soft persimmon while Ding Fan was someone she couldn't afford to provoke.

"Fine, you're ruthless. I hope you can keep being ruthless later... Qin Han, follow me." Ning Luomei said to Qin Han who was kneeling on the ground.

Qin Han, enduring the pain, got up from the ground. "Kid, if you dare, don't leave. You'll see what's coming to you in a bit."

After saying that, Qin Han and Ning Luomei left the Medicine Shop with their tails between their legs.

"Thank you..." Ning Luoxi naturally knew Ding Fan took action to help her, but her expression was somewhat troubled. "Ding Fan, I think you should leave. My uncle is a policeman on this street, and they must have gone to find my uncle. My uncle has a fiery temper, and given the current situation, it's going to be difficult to explain clearly. You might just end up at a loss."

Ding Fan simply smiled. "If I were to leave now, who would be able to treat your father's illness?"

Ning Luoxi's eyes brightened. "Ah? Did the friend who can cure illnesses come with you?"

Ning Luoxi's beautiful eyes widened with hope as she looked at Ding Fan.

"First take me to see your father," Ding Fan said to Ning Luoxi.

Ning Luoxi was taken aback. Ding Fan hadn't mentioned whether the friend who could cure diseases could come; she didn't understand why Ding Fan wanted to see her father first.

However, Ning Luoxi didn't object. Her father's situation was already very bad. What harm could there be in letting Ding Fan see him? Could things possibly get even worse?

By this time, the crowd outside had seen enough of the commotion and had all dispersed. After closing the Medicine Shop's main door, Ding Fan followed Ning Luoxi to the Medicine Shop's backyard.
