"Alexander... you..." Alan Xu stood at the door for a long time, watching the entire scene where Alexander Xu used the silver needles to save a person. From start to finish, he witnessed it all. Now, seeing Alexander Xu coming out, he had a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what to say. "Dad, I'll explain everything when we get back. It's a bit complicated," Alexander Xu stepped forward and whispered. "I suppose this must be Mr. Xu's father. You've raised such an outstanding son; you must be a great father!" Jason Li remarked, showing great respect to Alan Xu. Alan Xu was a bit bewildered, asking incredulously, "Just now, that was done by my son?" "That's right! Mr. Su was beyond saving, but Mr. Xu used his miraculous skills to revive him. His Nine Revival Acupuncture is even beyond my capabilities. You are really capable, and you have such a remarkable son!" Jason Li replied, lavishing praise on Alexander Xu. Alan Xu felt deeply moved and patted Alexander Xu's shoulder firmly. He couldn't help but say, "Good, good, good! You, my boy, have potential! I knew it, gold shines wherever it is!" "Dad!" Alexander Xu was also touched. "Let's go! Your mom has woken up. We're going home!" Alan Xu said, full of excitement. Originally, he had thought that Alexander Xu might be demoralized because of the Isla Song incident, but after witnessing Alexander Xu saving someone today, all his worries disappeared in an instant. Subsequently, Jason Li personally escorted Alexander Xu's family out of the hospital and had his driver take them home. "Thank you so much, Director Li!" Alexander Xu expressed his gratitude while inside the car. "No problem, drive safely!" Jason Li replied with a smile. Inside the car, Alan Xu enthusiastically recounted the scene where Alexander Xu saved a life to Luna Wang. After hearing it, Luna Wang, too, was excitedly looking at Alexander Xu and praising him for his achievements. After returning home, Luna Wang prepared a table full of dishes to celebrate the reunion of the family. During the meal, Alan Xu stared intently at Alexander Xu, feeling that there was something Alexander Xu might be hiding from them. Alexander Xu, feeling uneasy under his father's gaze, asked with a forced smile, "Dad, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" "Alexander, tell us the truth. Is there something you're keeping from us? I remember that before you went to prison, you had no knowledge of medicine," Alan Xu asked. "Yeah, Alexander, did something happen during the four years you were in prison?" Luna Wang chimed in. As their parents, they naturally knew Alexander Xu best, and they had sensed that something was amiss. Suddenly acquiring such medical skills must have meant something happened during the four years Alexander Xu was in prison. Indeed, Alexander Xu seemed to anticipate this question. He explained, "It's like this, I met an old Chinese medicine practitioner in prison. He was amazing. He knew he couldn't get out, but he didn't want to waste his medical skills, so he taught me everything. Fortunately, I had some talent, so I learned a lot." "Really?" Luna Wang asked with excitement. "Absolutely!" Alexander Xu replied with confidence. However, since it was the first time he had lied to his parents, he felt a bit uneasy. But Alan Xu and Luna Wang seemed oblivious. They intertwined their fingers, their eyes moistening. "That's great! Our Xu family has finally produced someone outstanding!" "Indeed, the days of hardship are over, half a lifetime of toil!" As they spoke, tears of joy welled up in their eyes, and they couldn't help but shed tears. Seeing this, Alexander Xu hurriedly comforted them. Once their emotions had settled, he took out the bank card that Gary Su had given him and handed it to Luna Wang. "Mom, the money that Su family gave us for helping Mr. Su is in this card. You can use it to buy whatever you like. Don't hold back. If you want to buy something, just buy it!" After all, his parents had endured hardships for so many years because of him. Now that Alexander Xu had money, he wouldn't be stingy. However, Luna Wang cherished the card as if it were a treasure and put it away, saying, "Why spend it? We'll use it for your wedding and buying a house. Now that we have money, women like Isla Song who throw themselves at us are not worth our attention!" "My wife is absolutely right! Hahaha!" The house was filled with an atmosphere of joy and celebration. After finishing dinner, Alexander Xu asked his parents about the jade pendant. However, they didn't seem to know much about it, except that it had been obtained by Alexander Xu's great-grandfather when he was young, through some chance encounter at a street market. It had been passed down as a family heirloom since then. Hearing this, Alexander Xu didn't ask further questions and decided to practice the Divine Mystic Practices in his room that night. The Divine Mystic Practices had ten levels, and Alexander Xu had only just started, so he was essentially a beginner. Soon, a warm flow of energy passed through his lower dantian, which was located at the acupoint called Qihai, and then spread throughout his body. He felt incredibly comfortable and refreshed, without any fatigue. It was truly amazing. After a night of practice, he still felt energetic the next day. On the second day, Alexander Xu ran several laps around the neighborhood, covering about eight to nine kilometers in one go, without feeling tired at all. He didn't even break a sweat. "It really is something special!" Alexander Xu couldn't help but praise. Throughout the day, Alexander Xu remained indoors, practicing the Divine Mystic Practices and studying medical texts without fatigue. Only in the evening did he finish his practice and head to the Mingzhu Hotel. The Mingzhu Hotel was the largest and most luxurious five-star hotel in Donghai City, and it had been fully booked for a business reception that evening. The event was of high prestige, and only a select few companies were invited. Looking at the luxury cars parked at the entrance and the well-dressed business elites chatting, Alexander Xu couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't gone to jail for Isla Song's sake, he might have been among them. Shaking his head, Alexander Xu approached the hotel's entrance. However, a security guard at the entrance stopped him and asked, "Sir, could you please show your invitation?" "I'm sorry, I don't have an invitation, but I was invited by Mr. Su," Alexander Xu replied. Hearing this, the security guard scrutinized Alexander Xu from head to toe, noting his street vendor attire, and a look of disdain crossed his face. He then asked coldly, "Which Mr. Su?" "Hua Feng Pharmaceutical, Mr. Gary Su," Alexander Xu replied. Hearing Alexander Xu mention Gary Su, the security guard couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you? Mr. Su would invite you? Don't be ridiculous! Look at you, pretending to be something you're not. I've seen many people like you. Now, get lost!" The security guard scoffed, drawing parallels between Alexander Xu and those who had tried to sneak into the hotel in the past. Even a chubby man nearby, who was getting ready to enter the hotel, couldn't resist mocking, "Hah, a pauper like you dares to claim that Mr. Su invited you? You really know how to make yourself look good!" "That's right, we encounter a few shameless people like this every year, like clowns." "Get out of here and stop bothering us from entering!" Laughter and ridicule echoed at the hotel entrance, and the onlookers regarded Alexander Xu with contempt. "Mr. Xu was invited by me. Who dares to chase him away?" Suddenly, a voice sounded abruptly, and all eyes turned to Gary Su. ..
