This little girl looks sickly and listless. Could it be that she has read too many cultivation novels and has read herself mentally deranged?
She can summon lightning?
Then he might as well say that he can fly a sword!
Jiang Ruanning paid no attention to the mockery in his words. She merely glanced lightly at his darkened Yintang[1]Yintang (印堂, yìntáng) – the area between the eyebrows, traditionally considered an important point for reading a person’s fortune and signs of misfortune. jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_3228603_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3228603_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], }); and said casually, “Last month, you performed heart surgery on a sixty-year-old female patient. Today, she will die because of heart failure. The patient’s family believes that it was because you did not perform the surgery well enough, and around three in the afternoon, they will come to the hospital to ‘take revenge’ on you.”
“There is a watermelon knife hidden in the black hiking backpack on his back.”
“If you don’t want to die, notify the hospital security personnel in advance. When you see him, stop him immediately.”
President Chen was stunned, astonishment appearing in his eyes.
Last month, he had indeed performed a heart surgery. The patient had just turned sixty this year and was a retired musical theater actress from some organization.
Although the surgery had been quite successful, because the actress’s heart was already in the late stage of failure, there was still a possibility of death at any time.
But this little girl in front of him said she would die today?
And she even said that the family would bring a knife to the hospital to take revenge on him?
President Chen had never believed in such talk of ghosts and gods. His brows furrowed even more tightly, “Little girl, although doctor-patient relations are tense nowadays, and there really are quite a few cases of medical disturbances, the thing you’re talking about is impossible.”
“The patient and her family that you’re talking about are all quite respectable people. Especially since her husband is a university professor, how could he possibly bring a knife to the hospital to cause trouble?”
Jiang Ruanning looked at the increasingly dense black qi beneath his eyes, the corners of her red lips curling into a faint arc.
Doctors save the dying and heal the injured, and most of them are people who have merit upon them. It was also because she saw that President Chen had considerable merit that she kindly reminded him of this.
But whether he believed it or not was up to him.
Everyone had their own fate. She would not interfere too much.
So she said nothing more and turned around, intending to leave.
“Miss, please wait a moment.” At this moment, a clear, cold, magnetic voice sounded from beside her.
Jiang Ruanning turned around and saw the man, surrounded by purple qi and nobly beyond words, slowly walking toward her with his long legs.
“Is there something else?” Jiang Ruanning raised her eyes, her gaze falling on the man’s refined and handsome face. Even though she had long since become immune to beautiful appearances, she still had to admit that the man before her was exceptionally good-looking.
His facial bone structure was very excellent, and his brows and eyes were deep-set.
Especially those clear, cold eyes, narrow and deep.
Huo Chen’s voice was cold and clear, “You saved me. I have not repaid you yet.”
Jiang Ruanning was slightly stunned, then curled her lips playfully, “You want to repay the favor?”
“Yes.”
“As the saying goes, the debt of saving one’s life should be repaid by offering oneself in marriage. Mr. Huo, are you planning to use yourself to repay the favor?” Looking at the man before her, whose entire body was suffused with purple qi, she suddenly got the urge to tease him.
The man before her had an extremely noble destiny, and was no ordinary person.
Saving him today was merely following the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao.
Besides, saving him was also beneficial to herself.
Saving someone with such a noble destiny would make her merit points rise greatly.
Huo Chen was stunned, his clear and indifferent expression showing a moment of astonishment.
Everyone else beside him was also dumbfounded.
Jiang Ruanning had only been joking casually for a couple of sentences. Seeing the man’s expression gradually become solemn, she raised a brow, “Mr. Huo, you don’t have to take it seriously. I…”
Huo Chen raised his eyes, his clear, cold, deep eyes quietly looking at her, and interrupted her words, “My family situation is rather special, and my personal matters are also somewhat more complicated compared with ordinary families. Regarding what you just said, I cannot give you an answer immediately right now. At the earliest, I can give you an answer tomorrow.”
