Yu Se was someone who had received higher education for many years, a person full of a sense of justice and integrity.
Even so, deep down in human nature, people remain superficial animals who adore beauty.
Even if Yu Se was upright and calm, he was still a living man, and he couldn’t help having wild thoughts about a gorgeous male.
In just a split second, Yu Se had already completed a series of major life milestones in his mind—marrying and having children. When he realized that he was actually lusting after a breathtakingly beautiful face, he deeply loathed his own superficiality.
Whether Feng Yinchen caught the astonishment and conflict in his eyes or not, he instead teased, “What, do I have a face that reminds you of your first love?”
Yu Se’s thick skin had already weathered twenty-eight springs and autumns with him, but for the first time, it flushed with heat as if undergoing torture. “No, I was just listening attentively to your instructions, Family Head.”
Feng Yinchen: “Family doctor?”
He actually guessed it that easily?
Although he guessed the fake identity, it was also very close to the correct answer.
Yu Se was conquered by the other party’s precise insight and hurriedly nodded. “I just arrived today.”
He and Feng Yinchen exchanged questions and answers for a few rounds, which felt utterly unimaginable to the people standing in other positions.
All of the Feng family’s surface-level business was entirely managed by Feng Yinchen’s eldest paternal grandson, Feng Cheng. However, the person who actually controlled the operations behind the scenes was Feng Yinchen.
Feng Yinchen didn’t like to show his face casually to the outside world, and outsiders only knew of his existence by reputation, never by name.
Yet people within the Feng family deeply understood how terrifying he was, having been influenced by too many rumors and examples.
The first rule was that Feng Yinchen never liked talking to people.
At this very moment, the head of the Feng family was actually conversing with the new doctor for more than two sentences—it was truly shocking.
So, the family head is actually capable of normal communication with people!
Regardless of the others, Feng Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground accepting family punishment, even raised his eyes to look at Yu Se a few more times.
He indeed had a proper, upright appearance.
Hearing Yu Se’s reply, Feng Yinchen didn’t know why he treated him particularly differently, and shifted his hand toward the upper end of the leather whip.
Yu Se thought his next action would be to pick up the whip and lash him.
Instead, he saw a coil shaped like a mosquito-repellent incense ringed in an unattended corner of the sofa. He originally thought it was a dead object, but then he heard that mosquito coil suddenly make a hissing sound, and a section of a snake’s head slowly crawled out from the very center.
The scalp of Yu Se, who was standing close by, went extremely cold.
Beside the hand of the jade-eyed beauty, a pitch-black little snake was coiled. As for what breed it was, it was completely unrecognizable, but just like Feng Yinchen, it had a pair of jade-like glazed glass eyes. It slowly climbed up along Feng Yinchen’s outstretched hand, and was finally coiled around his neck.
The little green-eyed black snake even stuck out its forked little pink tongue at Yu Se.
Feng Yinchen used all his patience on this little snake, treating everyone else with cold ruthlessness instead. He stood up and threw a mocking look at Housekeeper Jin. “You really couldn’t wait, could you?”
Just a simple sentence caused Housekeeper Jin to drop to his knees on the floor, begging the family head, “The Second Young Master caught a cold recently, so I called the doctor over to prescribe some medicine, I just happened to bring him over.”
It is definitely not meant to go against you or watch you punish the Young Master!
Feng Yinchen didn’t spare him a single glance, instead tossing out a strange response.
“This person is not bad, sign him from now on.” With that, his precious little black snake coiled around his neck, two bodyguards closely following behind him, and the three of them quickly walked away.
The moment the glass door closed, the tense expressions on everyone’s faces seemed to collapse like a suddenly broken defense line, and they finally let out a sigh of relief.
Housekeeper Jin helped Feng Cheng, whose legs had gone numb, up from the ground, even though his own two legs were trembling.
Yu Se went over to help as well, but he didn’t make the first move, maintaining an appropriate social distance as he said, “I can see that these whip wounds haven’t damaged the bones, but they need to be stitched up to heal faster.”
After standing up, Feng Cheng was a full 185 centimeters tall, making him taller and sturdier than Yu Se, as well as two years older than Yu Se. He brushed Yu Se’s hand away and said, “No need, I can handle it myself.” His voice carried an unnoticeable trace of hoarseness, clearly caused by the pain just now.
Housekeeper Jin hurriedly introduced him: “This person isn’t a family doctor, he’s the one the Young Master specifically sent someone to invite.”
“What?” Feng Cheng’s already pale face instantly became even more inscrutable.
The meaning was, right under Feng Yinchen’s nose, there was actually a ticking time bomb standing there?
Feng Cheng turned his anger into words. “Who ever invited him really knows how to pick their timing. One after another, none of them are easy to deal with!”
Yu Se watched his chest heave with breath, droplets of blood beginning to ooze out again from the spots where blood scabs had formed.
A doctor’s heart is benevolent.
He really wanted to advise him once more: Let me stitch it up, Eldest Young Master.
Housekeeper Jin was definitely his confidant, and he also said worriedly, “I’ll deal with those two idiots right away. Young Master, your scabbed wounds are starting to bleed again. You should still let the doctor treat them.”
Feng Cheng didn’t hesitate. “I’m not that delicate. Go check on Zhile’s room first and see if he actually remembers where he ran off to that day!”
The Feng family’s upbringing was extremely strict. Even as a male, for a boy who had just turned 19 to stay out all night and not even know who he met or what he encountered when he returned—while carrying a set of suspicious marks—how could he, as the eldest brother, not worry? How could the family head, who knew about this matter, not hold him accountable?!
“Check the surveillance footage from the bar that day again,” Feng Cheng’s back teeth were grinding audibly. “I want to see who has the guts to make a move right under our noses!”
Housekeeper Jin went off to handle them one by one.
As for Yu Se, he followed behind Feng Cheng’s footsteps, taking the indoor elevator to a study on the third floor.
Yu Se felt that he was just putting up a tough front, so he couldn’t help advising the eldest young master, whom he had seen getting beaten up the moment they met: “If the wounds are too deep, they are prone to infection and will leave scars. Enduring it like this is not a long-term solution. Let me disinfect them first and properly recuperate them, so as not to leave behind chronic ailments in the future and affect your health.”
After Feng Cheng closed the study door tightly, he turned around and revealed a weary expression of collapse after putting up a hard front. It was probably also because it really hurt, or maybe the pain had become numb after enduring too much.
He finally chose to compromise, sitting in the swivel chair and trying to keep the muscles in his chest relaxed.
Yu Se immediately asked for the location of the family medical kit, took out medicine and gauze from it, performed a simple cleanup, and then applied disinfectant and painkillers. He even specially asked a domestic servant outside the study to pour a cup of warm water and had him take antibiotics to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed.
Feng Cheng looked at him coldly as he finished everything, only letting out a painful groan when it hurt to the extreme, then biting his lips tightly until he was done bandaging the white gauze.
Bite marks stained with blood had already been left between his lips.
“Your hands and feet are very agile, Dr. Yu.”
Feng Cheng knew the other party’s surname was Yu, and naturally knew what kind of doctor Yu Se was.
“I think you are very trustworthy and should be someone who can keep a secret.”
Yu Se tidied up the medical kit casually and said, “As long as it doesn’t violate a doctor’s professional ethics, I’m actually just an ordinary person who takes money to do a job.”
Feng Cheng nodded.
“My younger brother recently caused trouble, a catastrophic disaster.”
Feng Cheng couldn’t describe what his younger brother went through in too much detail. Even the family head, Feng Yinchen, didn’t completely know this secret.
Once Housekeeper Jin came back, he would make Yu Se sign a confidentiality agreement.
Even so, he couldn’t disclose the details of the matter with excessive elaboration.
The Feng family was not an ordinary family, apart from their formidable financial resources and vast network of connections.
The ancestral motto of the Feng family was to avenge every grievance.
As the eldest paternal grandson of the Feng family, Feng Cheng had shouldered heavy expectations and pressure from the family since childhood. He was introverted, reticent, and usually focused his energy on the company.
That was why he had slipped up on his younger brother’s education.
“I’ve already sent people to investigate your background. Word is you’re the only one in all of Dragon City who targets males…”
Sigh.
Thinking about the upcoming topic made it actually extremely awkward.
A man getting pregnant was as absurd as a rooster laying an egg.
Yet, if the domestic servant hadn’t picked up that pregnancy test showing a double red line in the trash can.
Feng Cheng said, “I need you to help my younger brother get a checkup. If the test results are bad, I hope you can perform an abortion procedure for him.”
Yu Se roughly figured out the reason for this trip. “However, is the person involved willing to abort the child?”
“He has no right to say no!” Feng Cheng’s face had turned pale and ashen from blood loss, looking ferocious and terrifying.
“ObjectURL: Once I get the damn DNA, I’ll mobilize the DNA gene database information of the entire city, find that bastard, and send him to prison!”
Yu Se was speechless.
However, it was completely understandable, except that he hadn’t studied in detail how a male abortion procedure should be carried out.
What if it failed…
He found that the Feng family’s vengeful streak was stronger than that of ordinary families. Would he end up being tied to a stone and thrown into the sea to feed sharks by then?
Yu Se’s silence was undeniably unpleasant.
Feng Cheng didn’t give him a chance to refuse, because no second doctor who could handle a male pregnancy could be found in Dragon City anymore.
“After it’s done, I’ll pay you a reward of 30 million.”
The threat seemed laced with temptation—a capitalist’s most adept tactic. They wove an invisible net with money and advantages, making people feel oppressed yet unable to resist.
It was a delicate balance, as if dancing on the edge of a knife, where every step was filled with both danger and opportunity.
Yu Se thought about his own future and the hospital’s, and agreed.
He subsequently signed a confidentiality agreement with Housekeeper Jin before being safely escorted back by the Feng family.
The time was growing late.
Yu Se’s thoughts also sank, like the slowly setting sun, settling into how to handle this unprecedented surgery.
At this moment, a black Maybach was parked at the entrance of Kang Kang Hospital. Judging by the sequential license plate numbers, one could tell that the newcomer’s status was extraordinary.
Housekeeper Jin smiled. “Choosing Dr. Yu this time was truly too wise. Look, everyone coming and going at this hospital is an extraordinary figure.”
Yu Se gave an awkward smile.
He certainly hoped that his pathetic little hospital would gradually grow, prosper, and bear a wealth of research achievements.
But the people looking for him today—wasn’t this inevitably a bit too many?
The moment Yu Se stepped into the first step of the hospital, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
When the young nurses had nothing to do in their spare time, they all liked to huddle together in the office chatting and eating snacks. Today, however, it was dead silent, and he didn’t know where they had hid themselves.
As Yu Se peeked his head into his office, he happened to see Wang Qi serving tea to the man in the sofa space.
The man was extremely handsome, his neat and sleek hairstyle looking exceptionally stylish. A look of undeniable annoyance showed between his brows, and he was loaded with designer labels. It seemed he had been waiting for a long time and was already a bit unable to sit still.
He looked a bit familiar.
This… isn’t this Lu Yunchen, the one plastered all over the streets on every ad space and screen, crazily promoting his engagement ceremony?!
Yu Se had thought of this person several times, each time thinking that it would be over if he was found out for lying.
Yet when he actually met the person in real life, a ridiculous emotion spread instead.
—Oh, you finally remembered Bai Fan and the child?
Wang Qi winked at him to signal that the visitor meant no good, picked up a folder, and pretended to go patrol the wards.
Yu Se feigned greeting like meeting a rare guest. “Hello, Mr. Lu. I just went out on a house call, and I’m not sure how long you’ve been waiting here.”
Lu Yunchen came with ill intent. Seeing that the person in charge of this broken hospital had finally appeared, he interrogated Yu Se, “Have you guys ever taken in a person who was seven months pregnant? A male, named Bai Fan.”
“Bai Fan?” Yu Se thought about it calmly. “Yes. I remember a month ago, it seems we did take in a pregnant spouse. Because the other party didn’t carry an ID card when he arrived, we didn’t know his name was Bai Fan at the time.”
Lu Yunchen said, “Where did he go?”
In his heart, Yu Se thought of countless replies he could give him. What he wanted to say most was: Haven’t you already gotten engaged to the Miss Lin family? He’s just a plaything you’ve already discarded, so why did you suddenly have a change of heart and come looking for him again?
Oh, he probably remembered that there was still a child between them.
Yu Se had seen many such situations in the real world—some people abandoned their children at the hospital and ran off the moment they were born, while others found the hospital to claim relations just to get household registration for the child. Yu Se had seen all sorts of dramas, and he didn’t know which category the Lu Yunchen before him belonged to.
But this was a dog-blood novel after all, and besides, he couldn’t let Madam Lu’s 2 million go to waste.
Yu Se changed his expression and said with utmost sorrow, “I’m sorry, I’m afraid what I’m bringing you is bad news.”
“Bai Fan fell down the stairwell before giving birth, and when he arrived at the hospital, he was already beyond saving.”
So.
“Both the person and the child are gone.”
