Dashing Student-Chapter 705, The Backer Behind

Chen Nan was feeling very irritable, not even in the mood to see patients!

Even so, he still insisted on seeing the dozen or so patients lined up outside.

When the last patient thanked him and left, he rubbed his swollen temples, just about to get up—

"Tap, tap, tap."

The sound of polished leather shoes stepping on the bluestone slab was particularly crisp.

Chen Nan looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit stepping into the clinic with a calm stride!

The visitor appeared to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, very tall, with a well-fitted white suit perfectly outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

His hair was meticulously slicked back, and his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were as sharp as an eagle's, a Cuban cigar, unlit, dangled lightly between his thin lips as he walked.

The most eye-catching was his left wrist, where a Patek Philippe watch refracted a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

His hands casually hooked in his suit pants' pockets, chin slightly raised, each step carried an innate arrogance, as if this little clinic had suddenly become his private territory!

"Are you Chen Nan?" The man stopped at the consultation table, taking off the cigar, and a faint scent of ambergris spread.

When he spoke, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, casting a condescending look, like appraising merchandise waiting to be sold!

Chen Nan was already in a bad mood, and seeing his arrogant attitude, anger instantly flared up inside him: "What do you want with Daoist?"

The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Chen Nan to be so assertive, and after a brief moment of surprise, a thought-provoking smile appeared on his face: "Sure enough, the man Qinglan fancies is quite exceptional!"

Hearing this, Chen Nan couldn't help but frown, scrutinizing the other person up and down: "Who are you?"

"My name is Shen Long, Qinglan's cousin!" The man introduced himself, a subtle smile on his face.

After learning his identity, Chen Nan's heart involuntarily sped up and immediately asked, "Did Qinglan send you?"

Shen Long shrugged unassuredly, then sighed lightly, "Although I don't know why Qinglan likes you, as her cousin, I genuinely hope she can be a bit happier."

"Even though, in my opinion, you're not at all worthy of her."

"But as long as she's happy, it's enough for me!"

"However, many times, many things are beyond our control!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Qinglan is about to get married, and her fiancé's background is extraordinary, this marriage is settled, no one can change it!"

"Qinglan asked me to find you to pass on a message, she hopes you can forget her!"

Chen Nan took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, and politely asked, "Could you tell me something about Qinglan?"

"Telling you a bit is no harm, so you can recognize the gap between you and Qinglan." Shen Long sat leisurely in front of Chen Nan, a thought-provoking smile on his face: "You should know which year Qinglan debuted, right?"

Chen Nan responded with a hum, he used to especially like the plays Shen Qinglan acted in, and had some understanding of her affairs.

"Qinglan debuted at sixteen, and it's been fifteen years now." Shen Long took a puff of the cigar, savoring it, "Qinglan just debuted and filmed a grand fantasy drama, which is now a classic!"

"And all the actors she worked with were powerful ones, seasoned actors, even two national idol actors with the title of Best Actor!"

"Don't you think it's a bit unusual?"

Chen Nan remained silent, quietly looking at Shen Long.

"Since Qinglan's debut, she's acted in twenty-three TV dramas, nine movies, without exception, all her co-actors were top domestic actors and actresses!"

"This kind of treatment isn't something you can have just by being famous!"

"Not even capital has that kind of power!"

"Of course, the reason Qinglan enjoys this treatment is fundamentally because there's an existence beyond capital backing her."

"That is the Red Handkerchief!"

"Red Handkerchief? The Red Handkerchief from the Outer Eight Sects?" Chen Nan showed an incredulous expression, being a person from Jianghu and having possessed the Sect Leader Token of Poisonous Insect Sect, he naturally knew what the Outer Eight Sects were.

In ancient times, Red Handkerchief focused on opera, even though opera has declined now, Red Handkerchief has long successfully transitioned, just that Chen Nan didn't expect Shen Qinglan to be a disciple of Red Handkerchief!

"Ah, you actually know the Outer Eight Sects?" Shen Long looked at Chen Nan in shock, evidently not expecting this fellow to know the Outer Eight Sects.

Chen Nan smiled slightly, "I have a friend who's also from the Outer Eight Sects, so I've heard a bit."

Shen Long was relieved, then said, "Qinglan was interested in opera since she was a child, joining Red Handkerchief at six, and apprenticing under the Sect Leader of Red Handkerchief."

"After that, with the help of Red Handkerchief, she successfully debuted and gained the fame and influence she has now!"

Chen Nan suddenly realized, then curiously asked, "When is Qinglan getting married?"

"In ten days!" Shen Long looked at Chen Nan solemnly, "Chen Nan, I know you and Qinglan have mutual feelings, but I must tell you something!"

"You and Qinglan are not of the same world, if you don't want trouble, honestly run your clinic, if her fiancé finds out about you, not only will Qinglan have a lot of trouble, but you might also die!"

As he said this, he pulled out a check and handed it to Chen Nan: "This is the consultation fee Qinglan asked me to pass to you, she said she'll always remember you!" With that, he turned around, hands in pockets, disappearing from Chen Nan's sight!

Chen Nan looked at the check for 1314520, a bitter smile on his face: "With such deep feelings for me, how can I forget you?"

"Forget it, forget it, forget it!"

"Since you don't want to marry, I naturally have to rescue you from the bitter sea!"

Thinking this, Chen Nan's gaze became incredibly determined.

He put away the check and walked to the backyard, where he saw Hu Die looking haggard, sitting on a stone bench under the sycamore tree, gazing southwest, lost in thought!

Some food was placed in front of her!

Seeing Chen Nan appear, Zhang Qingxue couldn't help but sigh: "She doesn't eat or drink, no matter what I say, she won't listen, please persuade her, otherwise her body will surely suffer!"

Chen Nan sat on the stone bench opposite Hu Die and casually said: "Hurry up and eat something, after eating we'll head to the Miao Border!"

Hearing this.

Hu Die's vacant eyes instantly brightened, a look of disbelief in her beautiful eyes: "Are you serious? Are you really agreeing to save my father?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chen Nan huffed without a good mood, he naturally didn't want to risk his life going deep into the mountains of ten thousand, but now he had no choice!

He must rescue Hu Die's father and ascend the Poisonous Insect Sect Leader's throne!

In doing so, he can use the identity of the Outer Eight Sects' forefather to save Shen Qinglan from the bitter sea!
