Bai Zhi nodded in agreement.
“That works.
It’s just a shame no one will know it was you who saved him.”
Zheng Yan smiled.
“Saving lives isn’t about fame.
As long as the person is saved, that’s all that matters.”
“Alright then.
I’ll reward you privately later,” Bai Zhi said with a slight smile.
The smile left Zheng Yan stunned.
Bai Zhi was already gorgeous, but she rarely smiled.
Seeing her smile now was like a breath of fresh spring air.
Seeing the look on Zheng Yan’s face, Bai Zhi blushed slightly and chided him flirtatiously, “What are you staring at?”
“Nothing.
I just think you look especially beautiful when you smile.”
“If you say another word, I’ll smack you,” Bai Zhi said, pretending to be angry to hide her inner fluster.
Zheng Yan shrugged.
“Alright, I’ll head out first.
Let me know when they’re gone.”
With that, Zheng Yan went downstairs.
Not long after, Zheng Yan saw a familiar face at the door of a hospital room.
Jing Chen!!!
‘A member of the Jing Family.
The father of Jingpo Hai, the guy I taught a lesson to before.’
‘What’s he doing here?’
Jing Chen walked straight to a hospital room door, pushed it open, and went inside.
A slight smile touched the corner of Zheng Yan’s lips.
He had a pretty good idea why the man was here.
‘Jingpo Hai was probably in this hospital too.’
It was only natural for Jingpo Hai to be here, at the best hospital in Nanjiang City.
Zheng Yan walked to the door and heard a commotion coming from inside.
“Dammit, are you people competent or not?
What the hell is wrong with my son?”
“Say something, you useless trash!
Why has my son become like this?”
“Mr.
Jing, please don’t worry.
Our specialist will be here soon.
This is the first time we’ve ever seen a condition like this.”
“Wait, my ass!
If my son dies, none of you are leaving here alive.”
Zheng Yan had heard enough.
He stood up, pushed the door open, and walked right in.
He saw a number of people standing in the hospital room, including the familiar faces of Jing Chen and his wife, Qin Lan.
The rest were bodyguards and caretakers from the Jing Family.
Meanwhile, Jingpo Hai looked almost comical lying in the bed.
He was a young man, but his body was as withered as a lamp about to run out of oil, and he was nothing but skin and bones.
Anyone who saw him would have the same first thought: this person was on the verge of death.
Not long ago, Zheng Yan had inserted two silver needles into Jingpo Hai, which had left him full of vigor during his “battle” with two beautiful women. This story is hosted at g.com.
This had made Jingpo Hai ecstatic.
You see, his body had long been hollowed out by excessive indulgence in wine and women.
But now, he felt something different and thought his body had recovered.
But then, something strange happened.
He had been stuck in that state ever since, and his physical condition had only gotten worse.
After being admitted to the hospital, he had wasted away to skin and bones.
The doctors were at a complete loss.
They had not only never seen such symptoms, they had never even heard of them.
The human body has its own self-preservation mechanisms.
When survival itself is a struggle, thoughts of *that* nature usually disappear.
But because of the silver needles, Jingpo Hai couldn’t return to normal.
Jing Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw the newcomer.
“Who the fuck are you?
Throw him out.”
After he spoke, the bodyguards beside Jing Chen prepared to grab Zheng Yan.
It was just the man’s bad luck.
If he had just walked into the wrong room on a normal day, it would have been fine, but Jing Chen was furious right now.
Zheng Yan was completely unfazed by the approaching men.
He said, “I’m here to save your son’s life.”
Hearing Zheng Yan’s words, Jing Chen had his men stop.
He looked Zheng Yan up and down, feeling he looked familiar but unable to recall where he had seen him before.
“You can save my son?
You’d better not be spouting nonsense.”
“Of course I can.
Your son’s condition is likely due to damaged meridians.”
“Damaged meridians?” Jing Chen paused.
“Then how do we treat it?”
“Don’t worry.
If you save my son, I’ll reward you handsomely.
But if you dare to bullshit me, I’ll have you killed,” Jing Chen added as a warning.
“The meridians are the foundation of the human body.
As for that, I’m afraid I’m powerless to help.”
When Jing Chen heard this, he gritted his teeth in fury.
He glared at Zheng Yan and roared, “You’re courting death!
How dare you come here and mess with me.”
“Haha, I’m not messing with you.
There is another way to save your son.”
“What is it?
Spit it out!”
“That would be to eliminate the source of the problem.” After speaking, Zheng Yan glanced at Jingpo Hai on the bed.
“Just take care of *this* area, and all the problems will be solved.
He might not be a normal man anymore, but at least he’ll be alive, right?”
Zheng Yan continued, “To treat or not to treat, the decision is entirely in your hands.”
With that, Zheng Yan turned and left. This chapter is updated first at novelping.com.
Jing Chen waved a hand.
“After him!
Bring him back to me!”
The bodyguards rushed out, but Zheng Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Jing Chen stared at his son, whose life was hanging by a thread, unsure of what to do.
Just then, the medical monitors around them suddenly went off, blaring with all sorts of BEEP-BEEP-BEEP sounds as red warning lights flashed.
“What’s happening?” Jing Chen asked urgently.
A doctor rushed over to check.
“This is bad!
The patient’s heart rate is accelerating while his blood pressure is dropping.
His heart rate is already far beyond the normal range.”
The doctor broke out in a cold sweat, genuinely afraid the heart would just beat itself to death.
“This is bad.
If this continues, the patient will be in danger.
We have to bring his heart rate down.”
Jing Chen looked at his son, who was at death’s door, and for a moment, he was at a loss.
‘Do I really have to…
have *it* cut off?’
‘But then, wouldn’t our family line end with him?’
“If we do what that man said, can he really be saved?” Jing Chen asked, staring at the doctors.
“Well…
it probably would,” the doctors replied, though they weren’t certain.
The whole situation was just too bizarre.
‘Still, it might actually work.’
“Then do it.
Cut it off.
Prepare for surgery immediately.”
…
Zheng Yan walked down the street, in an excellent mood.
‘It would have been easy to deal with Jing Chen just now, but I’m not going to let him off that easily.’
‘I have plenty of time to play with the entire Jing Family.’
‘The two silver needles I left in Jingpo Hai’s body would be discovered sooner or later.’
‘It’s better to just let him become a eunuch.
I wonder what kind of expressions the Jing Family will have when they find out they’ve been played?’
Just as he reached his front door, Zheng Yan heard voices coming from inside.
It sounded like someone was talking to his mom.
‘That’s strange.
Not many people even know I moved here.’
‘Who could it be?’
Zheng Yan opened the door and froze.
The visitor was none other than Zheng Yan’s ex-girlfriend, Wang Jiaxin.
Wang Jiaxin was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt suit, looking quite presentable.
No wonder that rich kid, Wu Fa, had been so attracted to her.
The moment Zheng Yan saw Wang Jiaxin, his expression turned cold.
“Wang Jiaxin, what are you doing here?
Who let you in?”
Today was supposed to be the deadline they had agreed upon with Wang Jiaxin.
If he hadn’t been delayed by the matter with Bai Zhi this morning, Zheng Yan would have already gone to find her.
He never expected to see her here.
