Xiao Yu, filled with questions, connected Wei Jun's call and said, "Brother Jun, how come you have time to call me now"

"I just saw Jin Xiu Zhu here. Why didn’t I see you" came the puzzled voice of Wei Jun over the phone.

"Not sure, Jin Xiu Zhu called and told me that the banquet was canceled and has been moved to tomorrow!" Xiao Yu casually replied.

"Right, Xiao Yu, where are you now" Hearing his words, Wei Jun didn't dwell on this but changed the topic to ask Xiao Yu.

"I'm on my way home. Brother Jun, is something wrong Is there anything" Xiao Yu said into the phone, picking up a hint of anger in Wei Jun's voice, though he had tried to hide it well; still, Xiao Yu caught it.

"Wait for me at home! I'll come find you later to have some drinks!" After saying this, Wei Jun hung up the call.

Hearing the busy signal on his phone, Xiao Yu frowned a little. Zhang Dahan wasn't in high spirits when he went to attend the banquet Why was he now so downcast

Xiao Yu couldn’t figure out why Zhang Dahan was like this and thought about calling him, but considering that Zhang Dahan would come over soon, he abandoned the idea and drove home.

The grand feast hosted by the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce was held in a sprawling estate near the outskirts of Deep Sea, covering nearly ten thousand square meters.

Within this estate was a ballroom spanning almost a thousand square meters where the welcome banquet organized by the Deep Sea Chamber of Commerce took place.

The Li family from Hong Kong wasn't just hailed as a Chinese billionaire in business circles but also held considerable influence within the domestic political arena. This young master Li was the youngest son of the head of the Li Family.

Not only had he inherited part of his family's wealth, but he himself was no ordinary person, having established another gigantic enterprise comparable to that of the Li Family without relying on his family’s backing. This created a beautiful story where both father and son were regarded as heroes in their own right.

This Young Master Li. His father is the wealthiest Chinese person globally, and he himself is also a prominent figure in his industry. The Li family has substantial political influence in Beijing as well, so just hours after Young Master Li arrived in Shenzhen in the afternoon, the Shenzhen Chamber of Commerce extended an invitation to him.

Moreover, most of those attending tonight’s banquet are coming with their families because Young Master Li is not alone; he brought along his wife and children. As such, attendees hope to establish connections through their spouses.

The Li family, including this Young Master Li, has diversified development paths, making him someone who shares business interests with everyone in attendance.

Among those present are individuals worth hundreds of millions or even billions, but compared to the Li family, they seem rather insignificant.

Much of the audience hopes to get close to this influential Li family. Only a few have brought their children along just for them to meet Young Master Li, given his incredible achievements in business that make him an example for young people, although he isn’t exactly young anymore.

The Jin Xianglin family’s visit is primarily social; they had some business dealings with this Young Master Li in the US. Although Jin's wealth and influence pale in comparison to the Li family's, at his level of success, he doesn't need to rely on them.

Jin Xianglin built up such a large business, so naturally, he has his own business network. Bringing his family along this time is for socializing and exposing his daughter—who will eventually take over both her parents’ companies—to influential figures in the Shenzhen business circle to broaden her horizons.

At banquets like these where families attend together, besides discussing business, parents with marriageable sons or daughters often look out for potential matches. The Jin Xianglin family also has this intention since their daughter is already of a suitable age, and they hope she can find someone she likes soon.

This banquet hall's first floor caters to the younger generation while the second floor is where business tycoons socialize. By now, quite a few people have arrived at the venue, but Young Master Li hasn’t shown up yet.

The presidential suite of Shenzhen’s Shangri-La hotel houses this trio from the Li family.

Also accompanying him from Hong Kong are Song Huashan and his wife Zhou Ruoying. The two have a friendly relationship, mainly due to connections facilitated by the head of the Li family in Beijing.

The primary reason for Young Master Li’s visit to mainland China is to represent the head of the Li family at an elder celebration for Mr. Song in Beijing, and on the side, to seek medical help for his son.

In his youth, Young Master Li was renowned for his charm and numerous romantic entanglements with celebrities across different regions until he settled down around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, marrying his current wife who gave birth to a son named Li Yonghe the following year. However, this son hasn’t been able to walk at three years old, causing great distress among family members.

The son of Li Hou, when he was over a year old and still could not walk, invited renowned doctors from all around the world to diagnose him. However, all medical examinations came back normal.

Due to the influence of the head of the Li family, they did not have any prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, in order to treat Li Yonghe, members of the Li family even invited almost every famous expert from both Hong Kong and Macau as well as the mainland to examine him. They tried countless herbal medicines but there was still no improvement.

Seeing that neither Western nor Traditional Chinese Medicine had any effect on Li Yonghe's condition, they started considering whether it could be a problem with their home's feng shui.

The Hong Kong tycoons and nobles were not affected by the decade-long turmoil and thus believed in feng shui and mysticism. After seeing that Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine had no effect on Li Yonghe's condition, they thought it might be due to a problem with their home’s feng shui or perhaps some malevolent spirits causing trouble.

Given the power of the Li family, well-known feng shui masters from Hong Kong and Taiwan all visited their mansion. Their conclusion was that the location of Li's residence sat atop the peak of Hong Kong’s dragon veins, making it one of the best spots in terms of feng shui.

Furthermore, the home’s internal feng shui was personally arranged by Grandmaster Long, a top-level master from Hong Kong, over half a year. Therefore, there could be no problem with Li's residence's feng shui.

Regarding malevolent spirits and ghosts, members of the Li family also hired countless Buddhist and Taoist masters to perform rituals. This continued for more than a year during which they spent billions of dollars but Li Yonghe still couldn’t walk.

The fact that Li Yonghe could not walk was common knowledge on Hong Kong island. Although the Li family had great influence in Hong Kong, their paparazzi were also world-renowned, so the fact that Li Yonghe could not walk was exposed by these media hounds.

Although the reporter who reported it was found and sent to prison by the Li family, the news about Li Yonghe’s inability to walk had spread throughout Hong Kong and all places where Chinese people reside, turning him into a subject of ridicule at social gatherings.

"Brother Shan, when can you help me connect with that doctor you mentioned"

At the Shangri-La Hotel, after finishing his morning routine, Young Master Li was urged by his wife to enter an adjacent room and asked a man in his forties.

"Tomorrow! Let's go over there tomorrow!" The man in his forties replied after some consideration.

The man in his forties was none other than Song Hushan. A few months ago, when Song Hushan went to Hong Kong for business and visited the head of the Li family, he coincidentally met Young Master Li’s family at their residence.

Jo Yinge saw that Li Yonghe was always carried by a Filipino helper wherever he went and had never walked on the ground. She seemed to have seen reports saying that Li Yonghe couldn’t walk, so she couldn't help but ask about it.

The fact that Li Yonghe couldn't walk could be considered a taboo subject for the Li family. If anyone else asked them about this, they would definitely feel angry and ashamed, but when Zhou Ruying asked, they had no choice but to answer. Although Song Shanshan wasn’t as wealthy as the Li family, his political power was incomparable to that of the LIs.

The wife of Master Li’s son was a celebrity who didn't understand what the Song family represented, so she showed a hint of anger when she heard Zhou Ruying's words.

However, after hearing Zhou Ruying’s question, the head of the Li family did not get angry but instead explained to her.

Although Li Yonghe couldn’t walk and was thus a taboo subject in the Li household, when he heard what Zhou Ruying said, the head of the Li family didn't get angry. Instead, he detailed his explanation to Zhou Ruying.

Hearing the head of the Li family's explanation, Zhou Ruying nodded thoughtfully.

"I know a person whose medical skills are very good; you can ask him to try and help!"

When Song Shanshan heard what the head of the Li family said and saw that Li Yonghe was being carried by the Filipino helper without having walked even once, Zhou Ruying showed a look of不忍 (unwillingness/pity). She then spoke to the head of the Li family.

Song Shanshan watched from the side but didn’t stop Zhou Ruying. As for who Zhou Ruying was talking about, Song Shanshan immediately knew it was Xiao Yu. So he did not stop her; instead, he was happy to help spread news about Xiao Yu.

As for whether or not Xiao Yu could heal Li Yonghe, they never even considered it. They believed in Xiao Yu's medical skills just as they had with their son and Wan Jiayi before—back then, they were also very skeptical of Xiao Yu’s abilities, but he didn’t put much effort into healing them.

Moreover, Song Shanshan believed that Xiao Yu was more than what met the eye. After Xiao Yu saved Wan Jiayi, he used his connections to investigate Xiao Yu thoroughly.

However, in Xiao Yu’s hometown, nothing came up. Whenever he tried to dig deeper into Xiao Yu’s background, it felt like an invisible hand covered Xiao Yu, preventing him from uncovering anything.

Sometimes, he even thought about using his family's power to uncover Xiao Yu’s background, but after thinking about it, he gave up—doing so might alarm Xiao Yu. If that happened, Song Shanshan and Xiao Yu probably wouldn’t be able to remain friends anymore.(To Be Continued...)d, Lao Li and the rest didn't speak here since Bai San and the others were present.
