Lu Yunchen’s expression was exceptionally colorful, and his reaction of rejection toward those two pieces of paper had reached its absolute limit. His eyes continuously revealed undisguised despair and agitation.
His hands shook as if he wanted to tear those two cremation certificates to pieces.
Or perhaps tear Yu Se to pieces.
Yu Se, on the other hand, maintained a calm expression, using the indifferent attitude of a doctor who had seen life and death countless times to actively toss the two papers over to the other party.
As if he were burning two strings of ghost money in advance for a crematorium whose fire was visible to the naked eye.
Such a calm and sharp action immediately stimulated the dazed Lu Yunchen, as if the other party had been scalded on the soles of his feet by boiling hot oil.
No, his entire person, his entire soul, including every single nerve and blood vessel of his, was fried and boiled by the hot oil. Pain and anger intertwined in his heart, leaving him suffocating.
His dual pupils were bloodred, and he gritted his teeth tightly, as if he wanted to hide all his resentment and hatred within this silent fury.
And then, he crushed the two certificates underfoot with a stomp, looking as resentful as a wicked ghost crawling up from hell.
He spoke viciously to Yu Se, “I completely disbelieve what you are saying, including these two papers you brought out. I don’t believe them at all!”
“Bai Fan will never die! I don’t agree, he is absolutely not allowed to die!”
Yu Se looked indifferently helpless. You aren’t the King of Hell, either.
Perhaps this fearless and detached attitude deeply stimulated the opponent.
Lu Yunchen lunged forward to grab Yu Se’s wrist, almost crushing his wrist bone, and roared unceasingly, “It’s all because of you, it’s all your fault, you damned quack doctor! If it weren’t for your mediocre medical skills, how could you have harmed Bai Fan and my child to their deaths!”
“I want you to die!” Saying this, he raised his tightly clenched right fist and smashed it toward Yu Se’s direction in the blink of an eye.
He was pinned down firmly by a new wave of bodyguards rushing in from outside the door, which inadvertently protected Yu Se and saved him from disaster.
Lu Yunchen had gone mad to an outrageous degree; one or two bodyguards simply couldn’t hold him down, so several more had to come over to control his kicking legs as well.
Lu Yunchen lay prone on the floor, his arms swinging within a small range, still relentlessly and viciously cursing Yu Se, calling him a quack doctor, a good-for-nothing piece of garbage, and a butcher taking lives arbitrarily.
Yu Se originally felt nothing at all, until those final few phrases were shouted out.
Yu Se’s heart sank abruptly, and an indescribable wave of sourness surged into his heart. He gazed at the man lying on the ground with a distorted face, feeling a complex mix of emotions inside. He wasn’t hurt by Lu Yunchen’s unreasonable making of a scene.
Rather, those few phrases did indeed carry a devastating blow to him.
Once upon a time, when he had just stepped into the medical profession, Yu Se wasn’t actually an obstetrics and gynecology doctor.
And back then, an event occurred that was sufficient to overturn the beliefs of his entire lifetime.
Quack doctor, butcher, taking lives arbitrarily!
These vocabulary terms were like sharp daggers stabbing deeply into Yu Se’s heart. That long-sealed memory rushed forth like a tidal wave, cruelly tearing open an unmentionable, hidden wound.
It seemed cruelty was a double-edged sword, not solely capable of harming Lu Yunchen alone.
Madam Lu, who had rushed over hurriedly, screamed, “Hold him down! Yes, tie him up with a rope and take him back!”
“He’s crazy, he’s truly crazy!”
Madam Lu’s state wasn’t looking good either; perhaps she had been mentally shattered by this stepson Lu Yunchen over the past few days, looking nothing like her glamorous self from their previous encounter.
She could be considered to have done her utmost benevolence toward Lu Yunchen. Though incomparable to a birth mother, she at least cared to some extent. She said to the maddened Lu Yunchen, “Take a look at yourself, what on earth do you look like right now! Neither human nor ghost!”
“That Bai Fan and the child are already dead, and people were long since burned to ashes anyway! Weren’t you always unable to stand that bitch Bai Fan before! Just take a look at what on earth you’re doing right now!”
“You don’t care about the company either! You don’t return home, buying drinks and going crazy all day long! You even canceled your engagement with the Lin family!”
When people are driven to exasperation, they are bound to blurt out whatever is on their minds.
Lu Yunchen didn’t care; right now, he only wanted to find the person who haunted his dreams, along with their child. Even if they were merely two charred corpses, he still wanted to see them with his own eyes so that he could thoroughly give up hope.
“You don’t understand, Bai Fan isn’t dead, he’s definitely not dead!” Lu Yunchen struggled, his eyes red-rimmed like a trapped beast.
Madam Lu shook with anger; she couldn’t understand why this stepson was so stubbornly blind and unrepentant. “Wake up! He’s dead, both he and the child are truly dead!” Madam Lu shouted at the top of her lungs.
Yet Lu Yunchen acted as if he couldn’t take a single word in; Bai Fan’s smile and gentle words echoed unceasingly within his mind. He refused to believe, refused to believe that the man who loved him deeply would leave him so easily.
“I don’t believe he’s dead!” Lu Yunchen struggled crazily, shoving the certificate from the ground straight into his mouth and chewing incessantly.
And his dual pupils burned like a quenched-in-poison flame as he locked his gaze onto Yu Se and said, “You quack doctor, I will make you infamous throughout the entire Longcheng! I’ll make you pay the price for harming Bai Fan to his death!”
Following that, Lu Yunchen was lifted jointly by seven or eight bodyguards and forcefully stuffed into the car parked at the entrance.
Madam Lu adjusted her disheveled hair at her temples, exchanged a deep, lingering look with Yu Se, showed no intention of paying any compensation fees whatsoever, and turned to squeeze into the vehicle as well, commanding the driver to accelerate and leave the scene quickly.
The world returned to peace once more, alongside a floor full of shattered debris and disorder.
Yu Se let out a gentle sigh. Having one’s nicely functioning rice bowl smashed by someone was bound to make anyone feel sad.
Within a single day, Yu Se lost his major financial backer Xiao Lin and became targeted by Lu Yunchen; his future days ahead were probably destined not to be smooth sailing.
It wasn’t until evening that he dragged his exhausted body to the apartment rented by his disciple Wang Qi to rendezvous with him.
Bai Fan and the child were temporarily hidden there as well, because the two of them currently belonged to the category of undocumented persons and didn’t dare stay at a hotel at all.
Bai Fan had probably also heard Wang Qi recount what happened to Yu Se, especially since the hospital had been smashed to pieces, making it likely even harder to make a living in the future.
Originally, he had still harbored some mild, positive impressions of Lu Yunchen as a person, but now those had completely vanished into ashes, leaving him feeling solely that he must have been blind back then to have fallen for such a terrible individual.
Seeing him wear an apologetic expression, his eye sockets rimmed with a faint red as if he had just finished crying a match, Yu Se patted Bai Fan’s shoulder and said, “It’s fine, don’t blame yourself. It was my own monstrous lie to begin with, so now it can be considered calling it even with Lu Yunchen.”
“He’s not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as you!” Bai Fan now harbored a toxic hatred for Lu Yunchen, shielding Yu Se entirely as he said, “He’s simply an outright beast!”
Saying this.
Bai Fan proposed a startling plan.
“Doctor Yu, hand me over!” Bai Fan’s heart had turned to cold ash toward that person now. “As long as I return to his side, Lu Yunchen won’t continue harassing you, nor will he let Cankang Hospital shut down completely, and he won’t stain your reputation either!”
Only, only…
“I absolutely cannot give Yu’an to him; a beast like Lu Yunchen doesn’t deserve to have my child!”
With that, he grabbed Yu Se’s hand as if entrusting an orphan, his speech earnest and sincere: “Doctor Yu, you’ll have to work hard and help me send the child away. As long as Yu’an isn’t taken back by Lu Yunchen, I will… I will fight him to the death!”
Yu Se suddenly smiled faintly, reaching out a hand to stroke Bai Fan’s head like a gentle elder brother.
“Don’t back yourself into a corner over this matter. Since I dared to butt heads with Lu Yunchen, I naturally made other plans.”
Yu Se gently coaxed the agitated Bai Fan for a few moments. “You said it yourself, Lu Yunchen isn’t a good match; what you might encounter if you go back right now is something none of us can guarantee.”
“Human life is precious and should be spent on the right things and the right people.”
He repeatedly comforted the anxious Bai Fan, “Don’t joke with your own life. I’m a doctor; the last thing I can bear to see is people disrespecting themselves and disrespecting life.”
“Besides, do you have the heart to abandon your child? To let him grow up without a father from childhood?”
Bai Fan’s agitated emotions were finally pacified.
Yu Se said, “Don’t worry, I have a way. Just rest easy and wait for my arrangements.”
Morning light drilled through the fine gaps in the curtains, plating the intricate furnishings inside the room with a dim and damp hazy glow.
The air inside the room was saturated with a strong, salty, musky scent, not merely sweat, but the scent of other bodily fluids as well.
Lying on his back atop the luxurious and massive bed was a man possessing an almost flawless physique. His ink-jade silk bathrobe parted down the middle, exposing a muscular torso whose lines rivaled sculptural art, with skin textures resembling cold jade.
Furthermore, there were two ferocious, iron-like entities standing tall like towering, chilly stone peaks amid the shadowy folds of the curtains.
Elman coiled over the sharply defined abdominal muscles, using its snake tail to tightly bind the two stone peaks while hissing as it darted out a scarlet tongue tip.
Until its master transitioned from heavy breathing to lazy casualness due to ultimate pleasure.
Feng Yinchen was not closing his eyes to enjoy the post-orgasmic moment.
Instead, he was reading a book.
A yellowish book that had been repeatedly read, thumbed through, and studied, with its cover lost to who knows where, was currently held aloft in Feng Yinchen’s two hands.
Constantly scrutinizing, constantly reading, constantly indulging in wild, crazy fantasies, until his rapid breathing slowly subsided back into a normal person’s frequency, transforming him from a gloomy madman into someone maintaining his usual disguised facade of cold, flawless nobility.
Actually, when he examined the content of Chapter 13 of the book, he had already reached a state of intense, ecstatic madness, reading the exact same content for several solid hours, with wave after wave of orgasms surging back and forth inside his skull.
Every crack between the book’s pages, the sweat seeping through his palms, the unforgettable creases left from folding.
Every single one was personally inflicted by his own hands over the years.
This book was titled Ninety-Nine Nights of Forcing Love on Doctor Yu.
It was the source of the entire fictional world.
Feng Yinchen didn’t care what bizarre entity the world he inhabited actually was; he only cared about one thing.
The protagonist of this book was named Yu Se, and he was a doctor.
Yu Se.
Yu Se, Yu Se.
Yu Se!
Feng Yinchen read this book silently countless times, engraving every single detail from the book deep into his DNA.
Especially since he was super, super insanely fond of Chapter 13.
The book described it as follows:
[Yu Se’s complexion was miserable, as pale as a sheet of soaked rice paper, fragile and helpless, utterly incomparable to his usual composure.]
[Xiao Lin’s ruthless withdrawal of capital made him lose his reliable background, and even that madman Lu Yunchen began spreading rumors everywhere, claiming his hands were stained with two lives.]
[Doctor Yu had no choice but to seek a brand-new sanctuary. What kind of person could help him evade the persecution of the two major families?]
[The Feng family.]
[Yu Se stood before Feng Yinchen, cautiously scrutinizing the incomparably flawless and gorgeous man before him, and truthfully stated his thoughts.]
[Yet Feng Yinchen saw through his evasive eyes the miserable plight of a panicked little deer driven into a fiery pit by a hunter.]
You chose to jump down yourself.
[Feng Yinchen said, “Doctor Yu, the way you wear your white lab coat is very sexy; however, wearing only the lab coat… will look even better.”]
[Shock! Shame! The insulting part was that even Yu Se himself felt a little tempted, seeing as Feng Yinchen was extremely handsome and completely fit his ideal type; furthermore, Feng Yinchen’s power and status could completely guarantee his continued survival in this place called Longcheng.]
[Perhaps he had truly been driven to his absolute limit, forcing him to sign that absurd ninety-nine-night contract.]
[Yu Se wearing only a white lab coat resembled an orchid battered by a violent storm; he sat atop Feng Yinchen, accepting the relentless… from the man.]
[……]
Every time Feng Yinchen read this passage, his entire being burned so intensely with excitement he felt ready to melt. He yanked the little black snake over and happily, perversely, kissed the top of the little black snake’s head.
His dual pupils were as green as a wild beast’s: “Mother is about to throw herself into our trap voluntarily, aren’t you happy?!”
