Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 1167

After the meal, Fade and Lauren returned to the villa.

Fade went out again. This time, without Lauren. That was because he had already met an old friend in South Bay City.

This old friend of his was Caesar Tu from the Tu Medicine Center back in Dragonville.

When the two met, Caesar immediately gave Fade a warm hug and said, "Brother Fade, it's been months since we last met. I missed you."

Fade laughed and patted Caesar's shoulder, "I'm not gay, I'm as straight as a fiddle."

"Haha, Brother Fade, that hurts, "Caesar laughed and continued, "I'm just being nice. Don't worry."

"Alright, alright, I feel your enthusiasm already," Fade laughed. He then said, "By the way, what are you doing in South Bay City?"

Caesar’s face changed abruptly and said, "Brother Fade, I am here because of what happened with the Acupuncture King of the Cao family previously."

"Do you mean the time where the Bronze Acupuncture Manual was involved?" Fade frowned, "Are you here to check on Mr. Tu's grave?"

Caesar told him, "My grandfather is worried that the Cao family won’t hold up their end of the bargain, but he is very busy right now. That’s why he sent me."

"My grandfather will be here after the new year and he will make an official announcement. Lamont Cao must pay for what he did."

Fade nodded and said, "The Cao family has been engaging in such evil acts for so many years. It’s time for payback."

"Brother Fade, let's go to Southern Hill," Caesar suggested.

Southern Hill was where Jason and Lamont met their master. It was also where their master was buried after he passed away. His grave was at the peak of the hill.

Both of them went to Southern Hill using the subway. Southern Hill was also one of the few remaining untouched lands in South Bay City.

It was covered in lush forests and diverse wildlife. The air was fresh and the waters were crystal clear. It was definitely a fresh change of pace from the bustling city life.

Caesar looked around, deduced their location and pointed at a small hill before saying to Fade,

"Brother Fade, that's where we are heading. Let’s go."

With that, both of them trekked up the mountain together.

The path was serene and quiet. It was extremely relaxing.

However, as they approached the peak, they heard the rumbling noises of mechanical contraptions.

"What’s this? Why does it sound like we are on a construction site?"

In an instant, both of them felt that something was wrong and immediately ran towards the peak of the mountain.

When they arrived, both of them were stunned.

The originally dense and lush forest was now a barren landscape dominated by machinery and concrete.

"My friend and I just came back from overseas, and it had been quite some time since we last came back. What are you guys working on?" Fade asked.

The construction workers answered him, "There is going to be a nursing home here that caters specifically to the rich and famous. The prices here are going to go as high as a million yuan annually."

"We are working on a really tight schedule and have to finish before the new year. That’s why we have been very busy and overlooked a lot of things," The construction workers admitted.

"A high-end nursing home? That must be a huge investment," Fade said.

The construction workers nodded and said, "Of course, the first phase of the building has already cost over two billion yuan. This is definitely going to be the most prestigious and luxurious nursing home in South Bay City."

"However, the Cao family are the main shareholders of the project. They can afford it."

"The Cao family!" Fade and Caesar simultaneously widened their eyes and asked, "Do you mean the Cao family, also known as the Acupuncture Kings?"

"There is only one Cao family that is wealthy enough to support this project, and that is them," The construction workers sighed.

"So it was them!" Fade and Caesar flew into a rage after finding that out.

Caesar gritted his teeth and said, "The Cao family are a bunch of sore losers! They lost the bet and yet here they are, trying to desecrate my grandmaster's tomb! Isn't Lamont scared of the retribution that may befall upon him?"

Fade uttered coldly, "It seems like they want to make a preemptive strike and complete the nursing home before the new year. Things can't go on like this."

"The project must be stopped," Caesar gritted his teeth and declared, "This hill is where my grandmaster used to practice and teach. It cannot be defiled!"
