Before anyone could react to the news, Amelia had already rushed out the door.

She moved quickly, not even knowing where she had grabbed a wooden stick from, her eyes dark with cold anger.

At the alley entrance, a crowd had already gathered, mostly neighbors who had just returned from buying groceries.

"What’s going on?"

"They're here to talk to Old Madam Ye. They’re saying she killed someone with her medicine."

"Really?"

"How could that be? Traditional medicine is hard to say."

"I saw her yesterday, had her press on my neck. Should I be worried?"

"If this is true, we can’t go there anymore..."

Old Madam Ye listened to the murmurs around her, her hand gripping the cane turning pale as her legs trembled.

The person who had caused the uproar, however, was sneering arrogantly. "No wonder you're living so happily here, it’s because no one knows about all the things you’ve done."

He shook his head in disdain. "Chinese medicine is outdated, and yet you still dare to steal business from our

    It was Amelia, holding the invitation letter between her fingers, her eyes narrowing with a cold, almost dangerous gleam. "Go back and tell your old man from the Adler family that we, at Yixin Hall, will honor our appointment. As for your Adler family, you'd better hold your ground, or something might go wrong.""Do you think the Adler family is some small household that could have something go wrong?" Gu Zhongguo scoffed as though he had just heard the funniest joke. His arrogance reached its peak. "Listen up! No one in LA dares to touch the Adler family. the Adler family is law here. Little girl, you’d better remember that.""I’ll remember," Amelia replied, her smile faint, her teeth lightly biting into a piece of fruit sugar. Her eyes were as dark as night. "Gu. Family."Gu Zhongguo took her words lightly, thinking her just an ignorant child, arrogantly flicking his sleeves and turning to leave.Amelia watched his retreating back, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.At first, Gu Z

    Dr. Hart paused, sensing the presence of the young master from the Cromwell family. He wasn’t sure whether his next words would affect the image of the little doctor in the eyes of her patient.Amelia, however, raised her chin slightly, signaling him to continue.Dr. Hart lowered his voice, "I heard from my grandfather that your grandmother, Victoria, was once a rising star. the Milton family was pretty ordinary, but she was exceptional. She treated many difficult and complicated cases. But then, I’m not sure if she got too proud, but she treated a patient for the Adler family, insisting on using Traditional medicine. Unfortunately, the patient died during treatment…”Dr. Hart leaned in a little closer, worried that the old woman might overhear. “This caused a huge scandal at the time. If it weren’t for someone backing your grandmother from the capital, she might’ve even ended up in prison. But the Adler family proposed that she be expelled from the medical alliance to avoid further s

    Dr. Hart wasn’t hungry at first, but after seeing the food, his mouth began to water.Old Madam Ye squinted and smiled, "Not bad."Amelia didn’t idle away. After all the dishes were in the pot, she made a few small millet egg pancakes, sprinkled chopped green onions on top, and stuck them along the edges of the pot.It wasn’t enough to just make braised pork ribs with potatoes and eggplant. She also cut some cabbage for a salad, drizzled it with Sichuan pepper oil, and the fragrance had James turning his head constantly.The shrimp was the last dish, cooked by Old Madam Ye. Amelia had prepared the dipping sauce. The table was full of colorful dishes, with freshly steamed buns still steaming.Dr. Hart was tempted, but he didn’t dare pick up his chopsticks.Old Madam Ye laughed, "Come on, try it. Taste your little granddaughter’s cooking."Both Dr. Hart and James were eager, but James remembered that his young master was sitting beside him. This… the young master had never shared a meal

    At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard.Elijah, who hadn’t been seen all day, appeared carrying a large cloth bag.He seemed surprised to see so many people in the house. He paused for a moment, his eyes landing on Amelia.Amelia raised an eyebrow. "You're back? Grandma’s been talking about you all afternoon. Go on and have something to eat."Elijah let out a silly "Hmm" and walked inside.Seeing the child carrying such a heavy bag, Dr. Hart stepped forward, "That's heavy, right? Let me help you…"He put extra emphasis on the word "help!" and even strained his neck, but still couldn’t lift the bag."This... this is pretty heavy," Dr. Hart said awkwardly, trying again, this time with both hands, gritting his teeth.Elijah simply stood still, not moving a muscle.Dr. Hart gave up, letting his arms fall to his sides, gasping for breath. "What’s inside this? It’s so heavy!"Is this child really that strong now?Amelia walked over, effortlessly lifting the

    Elijah gestured and pushed a piece of paper forward."Are you saying she took the the Heart Herb to treat Carl?" Amelia's gaze deepened slightly.Elijah nodded vigorously.Amelia lazily rested her chin in her hand, a smile curling at the corners of her lips. "Well then, let me see how she uses the the Heart Herb in front of me, the real deal."Elijah looked confused, scratching his head. "Hmm?"Amelia tapped one of the lists on the table, her smile widening slowly. "The skies over Nan City are about to change."For so many years, the Adler family had dominated the academic circle in Nan City.Having ability but no money meant no chance for hospital internships.Those with money had to know the right people—enter the Adler family, and everything was secured.the Adler family didn’t just deceive patients and squeeze money from them; they also suppressed newcomers and engaged in corrupt practices, using their power to push benefits to their inner circle.Amelia, as a healer, understood t

    "Amelia! How can you say that about the Senior Saint of Medicine!" Old Madam Ye's face was filled with disapproval. "He’s the kind of person who doesn’t reveal his true skills."As she spoke, she cradled her phone, gazing at it with admiration, clearly a fan.Amelia pressed her fingers to her temples, feeling a bit helpless. After years of practicing medicine, this might be the worst damage to her reputation yet. "Grandma, this is obviously fake.""Fake?" Old Madam Ye pushed up her reading glasses, trying to take a closer look.Amelia helped her adjust, saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble.""It’s not that Grandma is worried about you causing trouble," Old Madam Ye sighed. "I’m more concerned that my reputation will affect you. After you go, don’t mention Yixin Hall. I’ll have an old friend’s grandson accompany you, so you’ll have someone to look after you. It’s best to avoid the Adler family…"Avoid the Adler family?What else would she do if not deal with them?But Amelia did

    Evelyn stretched her neck. "But you know, the medical field makes the most money the fastest. Our Adler family has so many people, we can’t just cut off our financial source.""I never said to cut it off." Old Master Adler's voice was slow and steady. "Just lay low for a while. Once the storm passes, we’ll talk."Evelyn instantly understood. "Dad, is this because someone from Jing City has come down?"Old Master Adler didn’t respond, closing his eyes.Evelyn spoke up. "Don’t worry. I’ll make sure they don’t find anything."For the past decade or so, the Adler family had been in the clear, and she was confident it would be the same this time.That night, all was quiet.In Jing City, at a tall building, countless office computers simultaneously flashed, drawing the highest attention from the authorities.In Nan City, at the medical hall, Amelia was biting into a fruit candy, her fingers tapping lightly. *Click!*Soon after, the same email appeared in their inbox.The intruder came and w

    Unlike the previous banquet, this one wasn’t held in the city center but at a villa on the western outskirts.Amelia didn’t ride her battle axe motorcycle this time. After packing her medical kit and the invitation, she took a taxi.Was it just her imagination, or did this invitation seem a little different?As she sat in the taxi, Amelia was deep in thought.The driver, on hearing the destination, was visibly surprised. "The Caesar in the west suburbs isn’t a place just anyone can go. I’ve heard that only high-ranking figures are invited there today. Little lady, are you…?""Just going to get my face seen," Amelia answered with a soft smile, her long black hair flowing around her face.The driver chuckled. "I figured as much. A young lady like you certainly isn’t just going there to treat someone."Amelia smiled but said nothing.The Caesar Hotel had multiple branches, each with a different level of exclusivity.The one in the center of LA was open to the public, but the one in the w

    After saying this, Morgan took the lead and went upstairs.The others followed in succession.Susanna, from start to finish, dared not look toward the delivery room. Her face was pale, as if she might collapse at any moment.Downstairs, only the Cromwell siblings remained.Amelia’s eyes settled on Susanna's shoulders, her brow furrowing.The connection ran too deep. Simply relying on exorcism might not be enough.She wasn’t sure if the production team had noticed that the storyline was no longer following the original script.The changes were subtle; the director overseeing the filming hadn’t paid much attention.Besides, for a successful variety show, unexpected twists are what make it more captivating.Amelia glanced at the camera, confirming that the equipment was still functioning properly.She couldn’t promote superstitions on national television.Any supernatural phenomena would surely draw too much attention.Amelia pulled her gaze back and refocused on the far end of the corri

    It happened in an instant!Morgan was fuming with rage. "What did you say?!"Amelia spoke slowly, her tone casual but sharp: "There’s still a camera here. Keep your image intact, Big Star Morgan."Morgan’s face twisted with fury, his features contorting in anger.Killian stepped forward. "Do you even understand basic manners? Is this how a 'study slacker' behaves?"Amelia’s eyes darkened, her voice low: "As a public figure, your job is to set an example and guide your fans with the right values. But what are you doing? Inciting your fans to attack others online?""Maybe you should spend more time polishing your acting skills—those 'eye-searing' performances of yours.""You’re good at pushing others down, but when it comes to being on screen, your acting is just awful.""Your fans might blindly praise you, but do you believe it?"Amelia’s words were calm, almost as if she was just stating facts. "You're so plain-looking, yet you got the lead role as soon as you debuted. Must have some

    To maintain the authenticity of the show, the accompanying PDs withdrew from the scene.There were cameras in every corner of the hospital, so they couldn’t escape observation.The hospital wasn’t big—just two floors—but the corridors were deep and dark.With so many people around earlier, it hadn’t felt eerie. But now that the PDs were gone, the cold, abandoned air rushed in, making the atmosphere tense.It was clear that, apart from Amelia, the other girls were nervous.Especially Susanna, who instinctively touched her stomach as she looked toward the delivery room.Viewers at home were confused:"Why is LuLu touching her stomach?"Suddenly, the sign above the delivery room door tilted and fell with a loud crash.The noise shocked everyone!Morgan, too, jolted, but he also realized this was his chance to act."This hospital looks old, so things may fall off the walls. Everyone be careful; we don’t need to go there," he said, walking ahead with apparent concern. "Where there are ligh

    Sebastian’s sudden comment left the director and the production team completely stunned.Not to mention the live viewers:"What does that mean???""I’m dying laughing! Kina, what are you doing?"Other guests also turned to look in their direction.Just when everyone thought his words were out of character for him, Amelia actually found it fitting. This was exactly the kind of Cromwell the sixth her grandfather always described."Brother, we can check the hint now," Amelia said, her tone action-oriented. She had a straightforward approach: finish the recording quickly, resolve the tension, and move on.The female star beside her would not survive the night if things continued this way.Of course, Amelia had no intention of acknowledging any familial ties in front of the public. She’d discuss it with Sixth Brother later, after everything was settled.To her surprise, Sebastian furrowed his brow. "You call me 'bro' so naturally. I already have a little sister, so change your way of addre

    He absolutely could NOT lose face!The more someone craves screen time, the deeper their thoughts run.Compared to him, Morgan and Killian’s performances were relatively bland.“Are you all sure about your team members?”The director’s voice rang out again.This time, in addition to the celebrity guests, all five passersby answered in unison, “Yes.”As the words fell, the curtains blocking the passersby were drawn away.Amelia lifted her eyelids, revealing her beautiful face, but her expression was always casual and nonchalant.She could hear the celebrities’ discussions.And she had already seen the passersby.She had entered because she felt the overwhelming resentment swirling overhead.If the resentment continued to fester, it would turn into a massive disaster.She hadn’t expected that there would be tasks involved as well.When the passersby from number 1 to 5 appeared on camera, not only did the audience feel stunned, but even the celebrities on set paused.Because Amelia’s app

    The third passerby was a middle-aged man with glasses, looking quite ordinary in terms of appearance and height, but his experience stood out. According to the profile, he was a surgeon.[Right now, 2nd and 3rd passersby are the best choices!]Next, the profile of the fourth passerby appeared—Carrie, majoring in media.But the key part was the extra line: “If Kina picks me, I can help you win!”Her bold statement immediately drew the attention of Sebastian.Killian commented with subtle sarcasm, "Sebastian’s fans are really enthusiastic. Most people can’t even make it to the show’s recording."With these words, everyone started to feel like the production team was favoring Sebastian.The trolls in the chat started to rise:"An idol with no academic qualifications should stay away from variety shows. It's already unfair, but soon enough, they’ll expose their low IQ. That’s going to be fun!"The tension was quickly building.Then the fifth passerby’s profile popped up, and it was like t

    "Mutual selection of passerby! It’s finally here!"The passersby selected for the show were randomly chosen by the system, but the production team would still screen them carefully.After all, Ultimate Survival had complex storylines for each location, often based on real events but modified for the show. Accurately recreating these stories was difficult and required some specialized knowledge.This time, the filming location was the abandoned children’s hospital.The team would definitely need medical professionals in the mix.The live chat exploded with guesses about who the passersby would be."Teachers, there are five passersby in front of you. Only through mutual selection can you pair up successfully. On the big screen, you’ll see their profiles. Two of them are medical professionals, while the other three have different specialties. You can choose based on your experience and preferences."The director’s voice echoed as the guests’ expressions varied.Especially for Morgan, who

    In the show, each celebrity was assigned a different position.They all wore blindfolds, and only upon arriving at the location would they remove them one by one.The selected passersby, however, were brought in by the staff and had the chance to see the full view of the venue.Carrie stood before the scene, her eyes shaking wildly.As Mia had said, the location for this episode was indeed an abandoned children’s hospital!Although she was from New York, she had never known about such a hospital in the nearby suburbs!The hospital looked worn down, suggesting it had been abandoned for years, with grass growing all around the outside.The show was filmed in real locations, and the production team had spent a lot of money to recreate the layout from the time.But the exterior hadn’t been renovated, so it looked especially aged.Among the celebrity guests, actress Vivienne was the first to arrive. She took off her blindfold and joked, "Is the production team trying to get new guests to q

    With a soft click, Amelia took off her helmet and noticed the cameras overhead. She raised an eyebrow.Elijah hadn’t mentioned that there was a filming crew nearby.He was still excited on the other side of the wall.Amelia, considering whether to ask the staff for more information, noticed the camera’s focus.In the shot, the director and the viewers could see the girl with long legs leaning on her motorcycle, one hand on the handlebar, the other typing a message.It seemed she hadn’t received a reply.Her slender, graceful fingers tapped the handlebar in slow rhythm, and her cool demeanor was simply mesmerizing.The camera panned over, and it was impossible to look away.Her face was flawless, ethereal yet not overly seductive, with deep eyes and a beauty mark just below her eye.When she looked up, the comments exploded."One minute, I need to know everything about this girl!""Which agency is this new girl from? I’ve never seen her before!""I just searched her up, and nothing cam
