When Gu Shen returned to the Dream Whisperer, there was only Xiao Xinjie in the clinic.

"Mr. Tang called me and said that you might be late today." Zhou Yexin joked with a smile, "What? Did you oversleep too?"

"Ah... yeah."

Gu Shen explained without blushing or skipping a beat, "Something came up last night."

Judge Tang Qingquan actually took care of it for him. It should be Cui Zhongcheng's arrangement. After making that phone call on the riverbank last night, Mr. Cui had considered today's situation.

Since that's the case, he might as well go with the flow.

With a laugh, Gu Shen changed the topic and curiously asked, "Xiao Xinjie... no customers today?"

"We... of course we have!" Zhou Yexin said seriously as she leaned closer, "We received a phone reservation this morning... saying that a very wealthy person wants to come and booked the entire Dream Whisperer in advance."

Gu Shen was somewhat surprised, "Can we... actually do that?"

"Actually, we can't." Xiao Xinjie sighed, "But there's no other way, the other party offered too much."

"Although our purpose is to conduct experiments, we still have to rely on revenue to make a living." Zhou Yexin rubbed her hands nervously and sighed, "Mr. Tang has a good eye. You are truly a remarkable person. Since coming to the Dream Whisperer, our business has been getting better and better."

Gu Shen scratched his head.

If it weren't for the hypnosis, Xiao Xinjie probably wouldn't have just sighed and said he was remarkable, right?

Overnight, the clinic's walls were filled with banners.

"Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up." Zhou Yexin rubbed her face and encouraged herself, "If we complete this order, we'll have enough for a year's rent."

Gu Shen laughed, "Mr. Tang... isn't the rent waived?"

"He can waive it, but I can't. Mr. Tang has already sponsored me a lot, and if I have the ability, I should repay him well." Xiao Xinjie said seriously, "Besides, the location on Lipu Street is very good, and the rent is not cheap. Don't be fooled by the small size, it costs three to four thousand yuan a month."

So the reward for this order is four to five hundred thousand?

Gu Shen was shocked.

Then he quickly reflected on himself. After joining the Arbitration Bureau, his consumption concept had indeed changed. His first reaction was not that the rent was too expensive, but curiosity about who this person was and how they could spend so lavishly.

As he was thinking, there was a commotion downstairs.

Xiao Xinjie pulled open the curtains and looked out from the French windows. A black Phantom slowly moved forward in the crowd and finally stopped by the side of the street.

This car must be very expensive.

Gu Shen silently thought in his heart. Although he didn't understand cars, he understood people...

After the car turned off, three minutes passed before the driver, who had been surrounded by the crowd, got out of the car slowly. He opened the back door, held an umbrella, and shielded the eyes of the onlookers with the large umbrella.

"They're here."

Zhou Yexin anxiously paced back and forth. This was her first time meeting such a big client, and her mind went blank. She was extremely nervous at the moment, tightly holding her pocket watch in her hand.

What should she say when they meet?

What if the treatment doesn't go as expected?

Various trivial thoughts flooded her mind.

Then these thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

"Step, step, step—"

The sound of high heels.

Slowly ascending the stairs.

Each step felt like it was stepping on her heart.

Although she had no thoughts in her mind, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Zhou Yexin glanced at Gu Shen and found that this young man was unexpectedly calm.

Gu Shen's mood didn't change from beginning to end. He was just amazed at how wealthy his employer was. Now he was only curious... Although the city was prosperous and filled with wealthy people, there shouldn't be many who could spend money so extravagantly.

The black Phantom that had just parked by the side of the street was surrounded by the crowd, and the view through the glass was somewhat blurry. He didn't see the face of the big client clearly, but he could tell that it was a woman.

Instead, the driver who got out of the car to hold the umbrella for the big client, was probably a man in a position like a bodyguard, caught Gu Shen's attention... He felt like he had seen that guy somewhere before, at least the figure and posture were familiar to him.

The man who went upstairs first was that person. His footsteps were extremely light, almost inaudible under the cover of high heels. This detail couldn't be felt by ordinary people, but Gu Shen keenly caught it.

This guy walks like a ghost.

He's a very powerful expert.

...

...

At this moment, Song Yingji, who was climbing the stairs, was dressed in a suit and had a calm temperament.

When he set off, he was curious about the identity of the young man recommended by Cui Zhongcheng. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out when such a young hero had appeared in the city.Finally, I can catch a glimpse of Mount Lu...

Now, there is a slight nervousness.

"Clack."

The sound of footsteps on the last step was a bit loud.

In the solemn and tense Muyuzhe Clinic, at the moment when their eyes met, two identical exclamations burst out.

"Nest?"

Song Ci looked at Gu Shen as if he had seen a ghost.

The expressions on their faces were both amazing and unacceptable.

Gu Shen's eyes were quite complicated. It took him a full ten seconds to accept the fact that the person in front of him, who looked bright and beautiful, was the same person who ran away after treating him to lunch earlier, the crow...

No wonder the figure in the crowd just now looked so familiar!

There was only one person left on the second floor who couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Yexin also stared at the two of them dumbfoundedly, and the three of them looked at each other.

Then, a gentle and powerful voice came from the staircase.

"Yingji, do you know each other?"

Song Yingji quickly came back to her senses. She regained her calm and composed image, stepped aside to let her husband pass, and supported him up the stairs. She responded somewhat awkwardly, "It's quite a coincidence. We just met today..."

Madam glanced at Gu Shen and then at the crow. She knew very well what Song Ci liked to do in the old city area. From the strange expression on the young man's face, he probably did something unethical, like running away after treating someone to lunch.

"It is indeed a coincidence to meet again so soon after just meeting. It shows that you are destined." Madam smiled softly and looked at Gu Shen, saying, "After it's over, you can have a good chat."

Madam didn't receive a response.

The young man who was standing still... From the moment Madam climbed the stairs, he only glanced at her face, but after that glance, his gaze stuck to Madam's face and never moved away.

It had been several tens of seconds.

This was somewhat impolite.

A huge wave surged in Gu Shen's heart.

What was more shocking than seeing Song Ci again... was the woman in front of him.

Song Ci had the mark of the Sincerity Society on his body, and he had a close connection with the Zhao family. He also mentioned a mysterious figure at noon.

Now, a certain figure had spent a lot of money to come to the Muyuzhe Clinic just to see a doctor.

Putting these two pieces of information together, it was not difficult to guess that the woman in front of him was the "Madam" who could cover the sky with one hand in the capital city, and she could do it as a woman.

What shocked Gu Shen even more than Madam's identity was her appearance.

Snow-white skin, red hair, almond-shaped eyes, and rosy cheeks. Her long hair was tied up in a bun.

Madam was really beautiful and young...

She looked a lot like Nanjin.

Except for their hairstyles and temperament, the similarity between the two was ninety percent.

It was like... they were sisters.

[Or maybe they were sisters.]

At this moment, many details that Gu Shen had previously ignored automatically flashed through his mind.

On the night before leaving the capital city, when he had dinner with his senior brothers and sisters, Nanjin's expression would subtly change whenever Cui Zhongcheng's name was mentioned.

On the way to the welfare home, Nanjin casually mentioned that she was richer than he had imagined.

Mr. Shu said that Nanjin came from the capital city and had been working hard and constantly carrying out missions after joining the Judicature Society.

And most importantly...

Whenever Gu Shen asked about Nanjin's past, she would remain silent and not respond.

It seemed that she had no concept of family and was unwilling to reveal her past to outsiders.

Gu Shen could feel that for Nanjin, the word "past" was like a piece of white paper soaked in the deep sea. If possible, she would want to stuff this piece of paper into the depths of the sea, the deeper and more rotten, the better... Unfortunately, no matter how deep and rotten this kind of thing was soaked, it would eventually be dug out and exposed in front of some people.

When he saw Madam, Gu Shen's mind was filled with various speculations.

It wasn't until Zhou Yexin pulled his sleeve hard that Gu Shen realized his own loss of composure.

He quickly withdrew his gaze.

Zhou Yexin hurriedly stepped forward and apologized with a low posture, "I'm sorry... This young man is my assistant. He just arrived in the capital city not long ago. Please forgive him."

Madam smiled gently and didn't say anything.

"Are you Dr. Zhou Yexin?"

She said softly, "I heard Tang Qingquan mention you. You're amazing."

Zhou Yexin was stunned... In fact, over the years, she had also met some so-called "high-ranking and influential" figures, but none of them could make her feel as deeply influenced as Madam did just by hearing her voice.

She still didn't know who this important figure was.

But from the moment she heard her own name from the other party's mouth, she felt a great sense of honor.

"I... I..."

Zhou Yexin didn't know what was wrong with her. She was so clumsy today.

She tried hard to make her words clear.The lady smiled again, "No need to trouble yourself, I'm looking for Doctor Little Gu... yes, that's him, your assistant."

"Ah... Ah? Oh..."

Zhou Xin was somewhat taken aback. For some reason, upon learning that she was not the one being sought, she didn't feel much disappointment. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.

"Please."

Song Ci stood up and opened the door to a private room. He scanned the room as a form of inspection, then gave the lady a reassuring look, indicating that the place was safe.

With that, the lady slowly stood up and entered the private room.

Gu Shen followed her in.

As they passed each other, the crow softly yet seriously reminded, "You've hidden yourself well... You know who she is, right? I'll be here watching."

"You're not exactly out in the open yourself."

Gu Shen sighed lightly, remarking.

"This big shot, is indeed a big deal."
