Xu Xiyun was incensed. His demeanor hardened as he confronted the situation, exclaiming, âYou want to die!â
Before he could act, Xie Yu restrained Lou Lianghuaâs shoulders.
Lou Lianghua felt a numbness spread through his body, as if all his strength had been sapped. He collapsed to the ground in an instant.
âFinished speaking?â Xie Yu looked down at him condescendingly. âShould I help you roll out of here?â
Lou Lianghua clenched his teeth. No one wanted to confront Xie Yu.
It was well-known that Xie Yu was on the verge of debuting as the undisputed number one.
But Xu Xiyun was different; he would eventually have to make way for him.
Grudgingly, Lou Lianghua struggled to his feet and ran off hastily.
From the lead car emerged a young man in a white shirt.
He carried the air of a noble gentleman who seemed to have stepped right out of a literary work. With an air of understated elegance, he approached.
âMiss Si,â Lin Qingchen greeted, extending his hand, âHello, Iâve spoken with Shiyan. â
âHello, Mr. Lin,â Si Fuqing replied, shaking his hand. âThank you for providing the equipment.â
âItâs all here,â Lin Qingchen said with a slight smile, looking forward to their collaboration.
Shang Lu hurried to assist Lin Qingchenâs assistant in moving the medical equipment into the operating room.
Si Fuqing went to change into surgical attire.
âDr. Lin, this is a peculiar case,â the assistant remarked, examining the medical report. âAre you absolutely certain?â
The report detailed Grandma Xuâs long-standing headache, untraceable by numerous X-rays and tests.
The doctors had hesitated to operate, opting instead for medication.
The assistant, having worked with Lin Qingchen for years and witnessed many complex cases, found this one particularly baffling.
If the surgery failedâ¦
âTeacher, your reputation is at stake,â the assistant couldnât help but say.
âWhatâs my reputation compared to saving lives?â Lin Qingchen replied, preparing his medical tools with a soft smile. âI am a doctor; my duty is to heal.
The assistant was taken aback.
âIâm not entirely sure,â Lin Qingchen admitted, donning surgical gloves. âThatâs why Iâm here to assist.â
The assistant was shocked.
Lin Qingchen, the brilliant young doctor ofSijiu, was herejust to assist?
Assist whom?
His gaze froze on Si Fuqing, who had donned her surgical attire. His mind stopped working.
Surely not this young lady?!
Following Si Fuqing into the operating room, Lin Qingchen politely offered, âAfter you, Miss Si.â
The assistantâs brain was completely fried.
Two hours later, the doors of the operating room opened.
Si Fuqing emerged first, removing her mask. âThe surgery went smoothly.
Thank you, Dr. Lin. You must be tired from your journey. Please rest.â
Lin Qingchen shook his head with a smile. âYouâre too kind, Miss Si. I didnât exert much effort. Iâll wait here for Shiyan. Donât mind me.â
Si Fuqing nodded.
Her phone rang.
It was Jiang Changning on the line.
âIâm at the hospital,â she said. âSomething came up.â
âAt the hospital?â Jiang Changningâs voice changed. âDid you put someone in there? Is it going to cost a lot in medical fees?â
Si Fuqing was silent for a moment, then slowly responded, âDo you have some misunderstanding about me?â
Did she really think she was so violent?
âOh thatâs not the case,â Jiang Changning breathed a sigh of relief. âWhich hospital are you at? Iâll come to you.â
âLetâs meet at our burger place,â she suggested. âI havenât eaten yet. Iâll get a beef burger.â
uKay,â¢â¢ Jlang cnangmng agreeu anu enueu cne can.
âBrother, I have a friend at the hospital. Iâm going to check on her,â she said, turning to the young man in a hoodie following her. âMaybe you can find a bubble tea shop to sit in for a while?â
Hearing this, Jiang Changfengâs interest seemed piqued. âIs this the friend you mentioned? The one who gave you the hand cream?â
âDonât get any ideas about her,â Jiang Changning warned. âOtherwise, Iâll mix laxatives in your food and leave you incapacitated.â Jiang Changfeng didnât want know to say.
She was indeed his biological sister.
With a hint of resignation, he acknowledged, âAlright, you go ahead.â He adjusted his hoodie and decided to wander on his own.
âMhmm,â Jiang Changning replied, walking away. Then, as if remembering something important, she turned back to her brother. âBrother, itâs your first time in the city, so be careful. Thatâs a bus stop, and thatâs a subway station.â
Jiang Changfeng took a deep breath, âYou can just go.â
He wasnât so out of touch as to not recognize these basic urban fixtures.
Jiang Changning finally left, feeling reassured.
Upon arriving at the burger shop, she found Si Fuqing leaning against the wall, sipping a coke after finishing three burgers.
âWhat happened? Why were you at the hospital?â Jiang Changning asked, walking over.
âItâs nothing serious,â Si Fuqing replied, tilting her head back slightly. âJust didnât want to see a star fall, a dream shattered. Itâs quite cruel.â
Jiang Changning frowned in concern. âSisi?â
âRight, Ningning,â Si Fuqing turned to her, âI never asked, why did you join the entertainment industry?â
âYou might not believe me,â Jiang Changning pressed her forehead, somewhat embarrassed. âMy mom thinks I have zero appeal to the opposite sex. She said there are many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, so I should pick one to marry into their family.â
Si Fuqing was momentarily speechless.
That was quite a modern-minded mother.
âNow I have another task: to find a partner for my brother,â Jiang Changning continued with a sigh. âMy brother is quite handsome, but heâs got an odd temper. I wouldnât introduce you to him.â
Si Fuqing choked on her drink, hastily clarifying, âNo, no, Iâm not interested in dating.â
After a pause, she added lazily, âBesides, I already have a lover.â âWho?â Jiang Changning was surprised. âYour boss?â
âEh? Thatâs partly right and partly wrong, â Si Fuqing said earnestly. âMy lover is money!â
Hearing this, the little white creature in her bag joyfully tumbled around.
It shared the same love interest as its master!
Jiang Changning was speechless.
Classic Si Fuqing.
âIâm heading back to the training camp,â Si Fuqing said, her eyes and expression relaxed. âAlso, my house burned down, so Iâm temporarily staying at my bossâs place. Call me first if you need to find me.â
Jiang Changning looked at her with a complex expression. âYou really have it tough.â
This further solidified her resolve to help Si Fuqing.
After parting ways, Jiang Changning found a coffee shop and logged onto a trading website.
She uploaded photos of the herbs she had harvested, along with their certification, and set the auction and buy-now prices.
Within seconds of posting, all ten herbs were sold. The comments section
expwueu WILH LectCLIU11S.
[Damn! Ten herbs?? Iâm crying, Iâm too late!]
[Wait, what kind of seller are you, selling them like cabbages? Iâd have to dig in the Lonely Mountain Gorge and might not even find any!] [A new account? Whoâs the big shot behind this account?]
Jiang Changning didnât linger on the comments and logged out.
She pondered as she saw her account balance increase by fifteen million.
Perhaps returning home to farm wasnât such a bad prospect.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Would her father be angry about the missing ten herbs?
Probably not.
If discovered, she could always blame her brother.
A clever strategy indeed.
Meanwhile, Si Fuqing didnât ride her bike. She turned left and right, eventually entering an alley.
After she stopped for a few seconds, she spoke calmly, âCome out.â
Silence followed, then footsteps echoed in the empty alley.
Si Fuqing turned, squinting her eyes.
In front of her stood a young man in a hoodie, carrying a large backpack with unknown contents.
âItâs you, isnât it?â Jiang Changfeng removed his hood, half his face lit by the sunlight, his expression unclear.
âThe Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand..â
