Butt dialing your boss… And leaving a dirty voicemail when you’re uhh… “thinking” about them.<br /> Just had a sexual fantasy with my boss. I stand on legs that are just as shaky as he said they’d be. My throat hurts from moaning and I’m sore as all get-out. As I stand, my phone clatters to the floor.<br /> I reach down to pick it up—<br /> And freeze in horror.<br /> Ruslan’s name is lighting up my screen.<br /> And the call is active.<br /> For seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, I’ve been masturbating to the absolute filthiest fantasy I’ve ever had, starring Ruslan Oryolov.<br /> ————————<br /> Emma<br /> If anyone has a reason to cry, it’s me. My boss is an arrogant prick and my sister is dead and her husband is more of a burden than a help and I have three innocent kids I’m doing my best to raise right but I can’t seem to catch a break and I need sleep and food and more coffee and a vacation and a fresh start and—the list just goes on. One reason for each of my thousand tears.<br /> “Auntie Em! Auntie Em, wake up.”<br /> I come to with a start. The sun is slanting in through the blinds and I have absolutely no freaking idea what planet I’m on. I feel a sharp line of pain on my cheek. It takes me a long moment to realize that it’s because I have a shoelace plastered to my skin. I peel it off with a wince and look up to see Josh standing over me.<br /> “Auntie Em, it’s 7:45. We’re late for school.”<br /> The next fifteen minutes are a blur. I get the girls up and dressed in the least coordinated outfits in the history of terrible parenting. I hurl random food into their lunchboxes with no regard for nutritional value. And then we’re all sprinting out the door.<br /> Ben, needless to say, doesn’t so much as lift a finger to help.<br /> I get the evil eye from the receptionist at the kids’ school when I drop them off well into first period. I just pop a peck on each of their foreheads and then turn to Bane.<br /> I get another evil eye from the lobby receptionist there, too, but I don’t quite realize why until I’m in the elevator up to the thirtieth floor and I catch sight of my reflection in the polished bronze.<br /> I look like an absolute shitshow. My hair is a rat’s nest on my head and my blouse is on backwards. The fashionable one-shoulder cutout is framing my frayed bra strap instead of a tasteful slice of arm.<br /> Wet street dogs are more put-together than I am.<br /> It’s way too late to go back now, though. I can already imagine Ruslan’s eyebrow. It’s probably halfway up his scalp by now. His voice is going to be absolutely frigid when he hears me come stumbling in. Something like:<br /> “You have got to be kidding me.”<br /> Wait. That wasn’t my imagination. That was actually his voice.<br /> I open my eyes and turn around to realize that the elevator doors have opened—and who should be standing there but my beloved, benevolent boss?<br /> Sure enough, his eyebrow is locked and loaded and that cruelly sharp jaw of his clenched so tight that I wonder idly if he has a good dentist on speed dial.<br /> I open my mouth to defend myself, but what is there even to say? “I’m sorry,” I blurt. “I fell asleep after—It was a long night and—I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”<br /> He doesn’t so much as blink. “I expect you to dress appropriately for your job, Ms. Carson,” he growls. “Not do the walk of shame through my building.”<br /> I frown. “The walk of—? Hold on. No, that’s not what this is. I didn’t—”<br /> “You’re wearing yesterday’s skirt and flaunting your undergarments like you think you can seduce your way out of being—” He checks his watch. “—two and a half hours late. I’m not sure if you think I’m stupid or easy. I’m also not sure which of those two would offend me more.”<br /> One word snags my attention. “Seduce?” I parrot stupidly.<br /> Out of nowhere, thoughts of what it would look like to seduce Ruslan Oryolov come prancing through my head.<br /> Wrapping his tie around my fist and bringing that smirking snarl down to my lips for a taste.<br /> Lying back on his desk, pencil skirt hiked above my hips, while he shoves my panties to the side and devours me like his last meal.<br /> On my knees on his office carpet as he stands over me and—<br /> “Ms. Carson, I’m not interested in your explanations. Go do your job. Before I find someone else to do it for you.”<br /> With that, he brushes past me and gets on the elevator. I turn and look dumbly at him as the doors close on his face. The last thing I see is the arrogant slant of his mouth.<br /> Then that, too, disappears.<br /> My cheeks are burning red for the rest of the day. Luckily, I have an extra cardigan at my desk, so I’m able to cover up the worst of my wardrobe malfunction.<br /> But my phone keeps pinging all day long with messages from Ruslan. Do this. Send that. Fax this. Email that. He’s as unbearable as ever. Everything from the expiration date on his coffee creamer to the status of the conference room chairs he’s so anal about merits yet another scathing comment from him. And after yesterday’s nightmare, I’m running on fumes.<br /> My only saving grace is that he has a gala tonight, so he’s scheduled to leave the office at 5:00 P.M. sharp. I’m counting down the last ten seconds until the clock strikes five like I’m a Times Square partier on New Year’s Eve.<br /> “Seven… Six… Five… Four… Three… Two… One…”<br /> Ping. Another text. I moan and look down to see the devil’s name pop up on my phone.<br /> RUSLAN: My office. Now.<br /> Goddammit. I was so close.<br /> Sighing, I get up and slink inside.<br /> “Shut the door,” he orders. It’s dark in here. The curtains are sealed tight and the temperature is Arctic. He’s a mass of shadows behind his desk, huge and fragrant. The only thing I can see is the sharp light of his amber eyes.<br /> “Sit.” A shadowy hand points at the chair across from his desk.<br /> I perch at the edge of the seat in question. My nerves are buzzing and frayed. I’m so, so tired. But I can’t show him that. Matter of fact, I refuse to show him that.<br /> I won’t give the smug prick the satisfaction of thinking he’s outlasted me.<br /> “I asked you yesterday if I had your full attention,” he begins. “I’m not so sure I do. So let me say this: if your priorities lie anywhere other than this company, then I will find a new assistant. I’m not a nice man, Ms. Carson. So believe me when I tell you that this is not the kind of place where you get three strikes before something bad happens. You mess up once—you’re gone. Am I making myself clear?”<br /> I swallow. “Yes, sir.”<br /> He nods. “Good. Be here on time tomorrow. Dress like you intend to keep your job. Now, if you’ll excuse me… there’s the door.”<br /> He looks down at his phone and poof, it’s like I don’t exist anymore.<br /> But I. Am. Pissed.<br /> He doesn’t know what I’m going through. He doesn’t know Ben is snoring and farting in my living room, or that three little kids are waiting on me to pick them up from after-school care. He doesn’t know that I buried my sister or that I’m barely keeping my head above water. He doesn’t know anything.<br /> “No.” I blurt it before I can think better of it. “No. No. I’m not some little worm under your shoe, Mr. Oryolov. I’m a—I mean, screw you, I’m a person! I have a life and hobbies and people who depend on me. I’m real! So I’d appreciate it very much if you’d pull your smug head out of your smug prick and treat me with some respect for once.”<br /> Ruslan blinks.<br /> Blinks.<br /> Blinks.<br /> “Is there something else, Ms. Carson?”<br /> That’s when I realize that my whole little tirade took place entirely in my head. It wasn’t real. All imagined. Just a pleasant little detour to a fantasy land where I give him my two cents and then some.<br /> I swallow past the nasty taste in my throat and stand. “No, sir,” I say quietly. “Nothing at all.”<br /> -<br /> I ended the call with my best friend, Phoebe.<br /> Then a face pops up on the black screen of my mind’s eye.<br /> It’s Ruslan because, like I told Pheebs, he haunts me even when I’m off the clock. He’s smiling that smile she described. That come-to-bed-and-let-me-show-you-what-I-can-do-to-you smile. The camera of my imagination pulls back and floats down.<br /> Imaginary Ruslan is wearing an ivory white button-down shirt with the top two buttons undone. Enough to see a dusting of dark chest hair and the edge of a tattoo I can’t quite make out. He flexes his forearms in front of him. Those knuckles crack, louder than I expected, and I let out a surprised little gasp.<br /> I like when you make that noise, he croons. Shall I see if I can make you do it again?<br /> I’m nodding before I’m even realizing what I’m doing. “Make me moan,” I plead.<br /> I’m also touching the inside of my knee before I realize what I’m doing. But it’s not my hands that are doing it—or at least, it doesn’t feel like it’s my hands. It’s Ruslan’s hands, huge and powerful, palming my thigh and drifting up under the edge of my pencil skirt.<br /> You’ve been a naughty assistant, he growls, breath minty in my face where it mingles with the woodsy spice of his cologne. There’s a faint laugh on the edge of his voice, like he knows that this whole thing is crazy but he’s just going with it because it’s hotter than it is ridiculous. You’ve been so very, very bad. Step into my office and shut the door.<br /> The rest of the world disappears like I just followed his orders. Gone is my messy apartment and the lingering smell of burrito cheese. Ruslan is all I smell now.<br /> That cologne.<br /> That breath.<br /> Beneath it, that musk that sets my nerve endings on fire.<br /> “Are you going to punish me, Ruslan?” I whisper.<br /> I’m on the literal edge of my seat, grinding and bucking against my fingers. Imaginary Ruslan has me eating out of the palm of his hand. I’d do anything for him. Say anything. Be anything.<br /> Imaginary Ruslan is every bit the cruel prick that real Ruslan is. He said he’d keep my orgasms to himself, but I feel like I stole this one from him. The euphoria of it rips through me in one endless lightning bolt after the next, until finally, what feels like an hour later, I come back to something like normal consciousness with drool on my lips and my fingers wet and sticky with my own desire.<br /> I stand on legs that are just as shaky as he said they’d be. My throat hurts from moaning and I’m sore as all get-out. As I stand, my phone clatters to the floor.<br /> I reach down to pick it up—<br /> And freeze in horror.<br /> Ruslan’s name is lighting up my screen.<br /> And the call is active.<br /> The reality of what is happening clicks in my gut immediately, but it takes a few delayed moments before my head comes to terms with it.<br /> For seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, I’ve been on a call with Ruslan Oryolov.<br /> For seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, I’ve been masturbating to the absolute filthiest fantasy I’ve ever had, starring Ruslan Oryolov.<br /> For seven minutes and thirty-two seconds, my phone has been recording every last moan and gasp and breath and twitch I made while I begged for his mercy and pleaded for him to make me come.<br /> Did Ruslan hear the whole thing?<br /> -<br /> “It’s over. My life as I know it is over. R.I.P. to me.”<br /> “I’m sorry, who is this?”<br /> “Pheebs!”<br /> She chuckles while I stare at my reflection in the mirror and try not to throw up. My phone is lying on the bathroom counter on speakerphone, mostly because my palms have been sweating since I saw the meeting invite in my calendar for today.<br /> 9:00 A.M. – 09:07:32 A.M.: Emma Carson 1-on-1 with Ruslan Oryolov.<br /> “Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Anyway, rewind, take a deep breath, then tell me what’s going on in your big girl voice. Unburden yourself. Take all the time you need. Just make it quick because I have a 9 o’clock appointment.”<br /> I’m bouncing on the balls of my feet now, the same way that Reagan does when she needs to pee really bad. “Yeah, so do I. With him.”<br /> “Ah. Oh, wait—oh.”<br /> I first called Phoebe last night right after realizing what I’d done. Her reaction was a dizzying mixture of pride and horror. I believe her exact words were, “Sure, it’s mortifying, but I’m glad you got your rocks off. Knew you had it in you.”<br /> She’s a little more reassuring now that things are escalating out of control. “That doesn’t necessarily mean he heard the voicemail, Em. Maybe this is just a standard, no-big-deal, super-boring-business-stuff Thursday morning meeting.”<br /> “It’s scheduled for seven minutes and thirty-two seconds. Precisely.”<br /> “Hm.” There’s a beat of silence. “Doesn’t look good, does it?”<br /> “Seriously? That’s all you’ve got for me? I’m gonna lose my job, Phoebe!”<br /> “You don’t know that for sure. Just take a deep breath and go in there, see what he wants. Play it cool, y’know?”<br /> “And what if what he wants is to kick my arse to the curb with a recommendation letter that claims I’m a dirty bimbo?”<br /> “I mean, there’s probably a market for that.” I moan as Phoebe’s laughter fades into a serious tone. “Listen, boo: whatever happens, you’re a strong, smart, confident woman and you’re gonna land on your feet. And until you do, I’ve got your back.”<br /> Her words mean everything to me, but I know that Phoebe doesn’t have much margin for error in her life, either. She struggles just as hard as I do. If she is able to help, it still wouldn’t put a dent in all the bills and loans looming over me.<br /> “Thanks for the pep talk. I’ve gotta go to my doom now.”<br /> “Keep your pecker up!”<br /> I blink. “Huh?”<br /> “Oklahoma talk. It means, like, ‘break a leg,’ but for Midwesterners.”<br /> If I weren’t worried about losing my job and ending up homeless on the street with three kids, I’d laugh. Instead, I say one more miserable goodbye, then spend a solid three minutes dry-heaving into one of the empty bathroom stalls.<br /> Once I’ve sufficiently bruised my stomach lining, I slink out of the bathroom and waste the remaining two minutes before the meeting standing outside of Ruslan’s door, watching the clock steal my life away one second at a time.<br /> “You okay, Emma?” asks Katie Miller, another of the executive assistants on this floor, as she passes by.<br /> “Dandy,” I mumble. “Just waiting for the noose.”<br /> “What was that?”<br /> “Nothing. I like your earrings. Have a good day.”<br /> She raises her brow a smidge. I’m not usually so dismissive, but I can’t concentrate on small talk right now. Not when I’m T-minus thirty seconds away from the end of my career.<br /> Dear God, I know I don’t pray to you often. Or, well, ever. But please help me out today and I’ll definitely consider starting on a more semi-regular basis.<br /> Great. Now, I’m bargaining with God. New low, Emma. New low.<br /> I take a deep breath and walk into his office. The shades are tight, snuffing out all the light of the Manhattan morning beyond. It’s like a bear cave in here—and the grizzly in question is sitting at his desk, scrolling through his phone. He doesn’t acknowledge me until I’m standing in front of his desk.<br /> “Sit.”<br /> The moment my rear end is parked, he puts his phone down and looks at me. Just looks at me.<br /> In the eighteen months that I’ve worked for him, he’s never once given me the benefit of his full attention. Even during our morning meetings, he’s either on his phone, flipping through files, or typing away on his laptop. I used to be annoyed about it. I’m only now realizing I should have been grateful.<br /> Should I say something?<br /> Maybe he wants me to break the silence. Maybe I’m supposed to give him an explanation, an apology, something. But the more the silence stretches on, the less I’m capable of breaking it.<br /> I decide once again that those amber eyes of his should be outlawed.<br /> “I heard the voicemail,” he says at last.<br /> I can’t place his tone. Amusement? Anger? Disbelief?<br /> “Do you have anything to say, Ms. Carson?”<br /> I launch into the apology I spent most of last night practicing in the mirror. “I can’t tell you how sorry I am, Mr. Oryolov. I have no idea what I was thinking. The whole thing was an accident; I didn’t realize I’d dialed you. I was so tired and out of it and… I can assure you that it will never happen again. I swear.”<br /> My cheeks are flushed with embarrassment, but I try to keep my voice steady. I can’t sound too desperate, although that’s exactly what I am.<br /> “Tell me, Ms. Carson: what would you do in my place?”<br /> “I would give the plucky, hard-working assistant another chance, maybe?” It’s a long shot, but I figure, what the heck? I just wish I’d asked it without my voice rising to an Alvin and the Chipmunks pipsqueak at the end.<br /> His mouth twitches with the promise of a smile, but it’s gone as quick as it came. “I know what you sound like when you climax, Emma. Is that the soundtrack you want running through all our interactions from now on?”<br /> Flushing the brightest of reds, I shake my head. “If we could maybe just forget this whole thing—”<br /> “The way I see it, there are only two options here.”<br /> I hold my breath.<br /> “One, I fire you.”<br /> There it is. I knew it. I’m done for. I’m going to need to call the welfare office and see what—<br /> “Or two… I give you exactly what you want.”<br /> I almost choke on my own saliva. What little is left in my gaping mouth. “W-what?”<br /> Silently, Ruslan offers me the blue folder lying in front of him. I pick it up with shaky hands and open the cover. It takes me a few long moments to figure out what on earth I’m looking at.<br /> A… contract?<br /> I read through the first page, feeling a strange sensation bubble up in my chest.Then, since I’m clearly misunderstanding something, I read through the first page again. And again. And again.<br /> Only then do I look up. “Is this a joke?”<br /> He doesn’t blink. “I never joke.”<br /> “It’s just that, it seems like, from what I read, um—”<br /> “I will offer you money and security in exchange for live encores of the little performance you sent me last night. In addition to meeting my other needs.”<br /> “And by ‘needs,’ you mean…intercourse?”<br /> He tilts his chin down and regards me solemnly. “How explicit would you like me to be, Ms. Carson?”<br /> What.<br /> “So this—” I raise the blue folder in my hand. “—is a sugar daddy contract?”<br /> His brow furrows. “I’d prefer to call it a ‘Friend With Benefits’ contract.”<br /> “But we’re not friends.”<br /> He smirks. “Fair enough. No, we’re not.”<br /> There’s a throbbing in my head that reminds me of the first time I got drunk. Sienna and I had snuck into Dad’s study the eve of my sixteenth birthday and stolen a 1984 Chateau Latour. We passed it back and forth, taking turns sipping from the bottle like it was cheap bagged drink until the whole thing was gone.<br /> For a moment, I think about what Sienna would say if she were here. Would she be outraged or intrigued?

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchel’s phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe it’s time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raegan’s shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5&	WATCH_MORE	https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-FB_CONTACT-E	109739908479801	Love Story House	https://facebook.com/100083774743284	22,948	1	7,327,852,663,980,400	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	0	Watch more	Love Story House	120209151408110681	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-FB_CONTACT-ENJ57_8-Core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=091588&accid=940472107588486	2024-04-28 01:55	https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440802873_1138507730683023_2593709840555208470_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=8mfYu11rRE4Ab5Z8Y0g&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&oh=00_AfB8ADEYwo_7UvKrzEqGMgkkgOtI3Z89OSJzb8_WmMuL7g&oe=66344117	person_profile	Love Story House	https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440761877_313262701864679_6986486023026234531_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=b6lCs8WMg5AAb4o2LpY&_nc_oc=AdhaeV_5s2MSSI87ZrmYaFYlqvRDlMTtqEoLIbrr49lK5tnvclc1GmYXyJxc5jaIDYc&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&oh=00_AfAS6BuJJoTiL2cmJtjbcMfAr4SLuSo9hy_NSPEhsTNhSQ&oe=663438C1	3	Love Story House	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group.<br /> Raegan lay motionless in the massive bed. Damp strands of her hair stuck to her temples and cheeks. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes brimming with tears. Her naked body was aching slightly.<br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment, all she could think of since was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are pregnant."<br /> <br /> She took out the pregnancy test report from the nightstand drawer.<br /> <br /> Raegan had gone to the hospital because of an incessant stomachache. After a urine test, the doctor broke the news to her. She was almost five weeks pregnant!<br /> <br /> It came as a shock to her. She and Mitchel had always used protection whenever they had sex.<br /> <br /> After racking her brain, she traced the time of conception. It turned out to be last month after a party. Mitchel had driven her home and suddenly asked her at the door if she was in her safe period. That was their first time had sex.<br /> <br /> Now, it dawned on her that the period was far from safe!<br /> <br /> Days later, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish.<br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public.<br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time.<br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed.<br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working.<br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years.<br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband.<br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the pregnancy test result.<br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel the truth.<br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then.<br /> <br /> The shower in the bathroom finally went off.<br /> <br /> As soon as Mitchel came out, his phone rang. He went to the balcony with only a bath towel and answered the phone.<br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight.<br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this ungodly hour?<br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned to the room and stripped away the bath towel.<br /> His figure was a sight to behold. The packs on his belly were bulky. His buttocks were hard and his legs were long and muscular. This man was a catch!<br /> <br /> It wasn't the first time Raegan was seeing that. Nonetheless, she still blushed and her heart began to race at this time.<br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally.<br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour?<br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the pregnancy test result tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him.<br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously.<br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other.<br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Frail and ill, her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy.<br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry.<br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind as she took a shower and got back to bed. She couldn't sleep a wink.<br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone.<br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it.<br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing.<br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture!<br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport?<br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number.<br /> <br /> Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end.<br /> <br /> "Hello!" It was a particularly gentle woman's voice.<br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away.<br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Bile rose to her throat.<br /> <br /> Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl.<br /> <br /> Chapter2 Wake Up From The Wild Dream<br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time.<br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores.<br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all.<br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. Did Mitchel spend the night with that woman?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial.<br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact.<br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right?<br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good.<br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly.<br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's.<br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice.<br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly.<br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears.<br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object.<br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document.<br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again.<br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "You two spent the night together. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head.<br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice.<br /> <br /> Lauren and Mitchel spent the night together!<br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder!<br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart.<br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry.<br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside.<br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out.<br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome.<br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed?<br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance.<br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Ouch! Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying.<br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone.<br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well.<br /> <br /> In the elevator.<br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work.<br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love.<br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream.<br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love.<br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened.<br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea.<br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside.<br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's probably one of his many toys. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her.<br /> <br /> The love was one-sided.<br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, has Mrs. Dixon finally woken up from her wild dream?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her.<br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping.<br /> <br /> Chapter3 Tool For His Pleasure<br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way.<br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that.<br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "I heard you are quite good in bed. How about I introduce you to a couple of men? They could really need you."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, we are in the company, not a brothel. If you are interested in that kind of business, you know where to go."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan had just insinuated that she was a pimp. This made Tessa's face change.<br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of hot coffee on Raegan.<br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the hot liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee burned her arm and her skin turned red.<br /> <br /> "Ouch!" Raegan frowned in pain. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers.<br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just a bastard without parents? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> A crisp sound was heard all of a sudden.<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by a hot slap to her face.<br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would slap her.<br /> <br /> Tessa held her cheek and stared blankly for a while. Then, she stuttered, "You... You hit me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, Raegan lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it.<br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this.<br /> <br /> "You!"<br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, raising her hand up high to return the slap.<br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so tightly that the latter couldn't move another inch.<br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, Tessa struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap.<br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your filthy hands on me? Who the hell do you think you are? You are nothing but Mitchel's toy!"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room.<br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo.<br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him.<br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan slapped her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, look at my face.

"Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchel’s phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe it’s time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raegan’s shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> &5&	WATCH_MORE	https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-FB_CONTACT-E	109739908479801	Love Story House	https://facebook.com/100083774743284	22,948	1	2,288,857,678,119,407	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	0	Watch more	Love Story House	120209151375190681	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-FB_CONTACT-ENJ57_8-Core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=091588&accid=940472107588486	2024-04-28 01:54	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440357380_447145554539809_5487429412530727873_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=pA08luEEchgAb6gouF3&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfB8bGwbws1He1hgRbJ1XJnH-ihzp3UbaCM9UZArAwVPww&oe=66343971	person_profile	Love Story House	https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440138230_449901620906120_6505779915755008893_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=DSQq7RsCDkcAb4Xeua5&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfB9XxF66VvfmCU9cqayvSulWwFgXlVcemHlon5KV9VIGA&oe=6634396E	3	Love Story House	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

I felt like I had just gotten off the rollercoaster... <br /> <br /> I didn't see where the video was going, but in the end, it was a happy ending for me.

Go pay the fees right now, and let's start the surgery!"<br /> <br /> Pay the fees...<br /> <br /> Su Yi snapped back to reality, his expression bitter as he patted his pockets.<br /> <br /> Aside from an old cell phone, he didn't have a single penny.<br /> <br /> Seeing his plight, the doctor's anger grew yet he also felt more angered: "No money? Then why didn't you bring her in before her condition worsened!"<br /> <br /> Though he spoke sharply, the doctor's conscience prevailed.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I'll advance the medical and hospitalization expenses for you; let's stabilize her condition first."<br /> <br /> "The surgery will cost around three hundred thousand, you better hurry up and find a way to get the money."<br /> <br /> "Remember, three days—if it's more than three days, it's all over!"<br /> <br /> In an era where interests reign supreme and capital rules, such a doctor was truly rare.<br /> <br /> With tears covering his face, Su Yi was immensely grateful and kept bowing deeply.<br /> <br /> "I really can't thank you enough; you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva."<br /> <br /> "Stop wasting time, hurry up, don't delay a minute!"<br /> <br /> The doctor urged sternly.<br /> <br /> Wiping away tears, Su Yi turned and strode out of the hospital.<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, Daddy will definitely save you," Su Yi told himself silently.<br /> <br /> But thinking of the three hundred thousand needed for the surgery, a strong sense of powerlessness surged inside him.<br /> <br /> He once had a very happy family.<br /> <br /> They were in business, mainly in the pharmaceutical field, even having their own medical laboratory.<br /> <br /> But due to an accident, the lab exploded, leaving no one in his family alive except for himself, who wasn't there at the time.<br /> <br /> The family business was also devoured clean by the other shareholders at the first opportunity.<br /> <br /> Fortunately, the Su and the Lin families were longtime friends, and both patriarchs were comrade-at-arms with life-saving bonds between them.<br /> <br /> A long time ago, the two old men had arranged a marriage between Su Yi and Lin Xinran.<br /> <br /> After the explosion, Old Master Lin, valuing loyalty and righteousness, took Su Yi into the Lin family and personally arranged the marriage for him.<br /> <br /> Since then, Su Yi had become the son-in-law of the Lin family.<br /> <br /> At first, the Lin family had their reservations about Su Yi, but due to the senior's authority, they dared not be too excessive.<br /> <br /> Since the old man died three years ago, their attitude towards Su Yi changed drastically.<br /> <br /> It was also at that time that Su Yi's wife, Lin Xinran, fell ill with a strange disease, becoming virtually a vegetative person.<br /> <br /> She could open and close her eyes, eat and drink, but she couldn't move a single finger, nor could she utter a single word.<br /> <br /> At that time, their daughter, Su Xiaoxiao, had just turned one year old.<br /> <br /> Good fortunes don't come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.<br /> <br /> Seizing the opportunity, the Lin family began asserting themselves, expelling the mother and daughter from the clan on the pretext of the family being useless.<br /> <br /> Even Lin Xinran's parents chose to break off relations with them to enjoy the wealth and status within the clan.<br /> <br /> It could be said that Su Yi was now truly alone.<br /> <br /> During these three years, he bore the burden of the family alone and had to buy medicine for his wife, making it impossible to save any money.<br /> <br /> Three hundred thousand... It was enough to crush an adult!<br /> <br /> "What should I do..."<br /> <br /> Su Yi looked around helplessly, alone in the world.<br /> <br /> It was impossible to ask the Lin family.<br /> <br /> Not due to pride.<br /> <br /> But because, in order to buy medicine for his wife, Su Yi had knelt in front of the Lin family's door multiple times, only to be turned away with a slammed door every single time.<br /> <br /> He could not borrow any money!<br /> <br /> "Maybe... I can look for Chen Mingjun!"<br /> <br /> There was a hint of resolve in Su Yi's eyes.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was one of the former shareholders of the Su family business.<br /> <br /> He was also the only wealthy person Su Yi knew where to find.<br /> <br /> However, Su Yi's father had always had conflicts with him while at the company.<br /> <br /> He might make things difficult!<br /> <br /> But he couldn't care about that anymore; as long as he could save his daughter, he would withstand any storm!<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> Mountain and Water Villas.<br /> <br /> This is where Chen Mingjun lived.<br /> <br /> When Su Yi arrived, he happened to catch Chen Mingjun's Maybach returning from outside.<br /> <br /> "Isn't that Young Master Su? From a distance, I almost mistook you for someone else. Wasn't your family pretty high and mighty before? What brings you to my residence today?"<br /> <br /> As the car window rolled down, Chen Mingjun smirked.<br /> <br /> Su Yi had no choice but to appear very humble, bowing as he said, "Uncle Chen, I've come today to ask for your help."<br /> <br /> "Ask me for help?" Chen Mingjun seemed amused, his teasing smile deepening: "Well, I must hear what it is about; it's not every day that Young Master Su asks a favor."<br /> <br /> "My daughter is gravely ill; I need three hundred thousand for her surgery. I hope Uncle Chen can help."<br /> <br /> Su Yi had a pleasing look and hopeful eyes.<br /> <br /> "Haha... You just want to borrow money? The thing I lack the least is money!"<br /> <br /> "I made the most out of the Su family's bankruptcy!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun laughed loudly as he stepped out of the car.<br /> <br /> Callous mockery!<br /> <br /> The classic example of reveling in the misfortune of others!<br /> <br /> Su Yi clenched his fists, and it took a good while before he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, struggling to squeeze out a smile.<br /> <br /> "Considering the many years we've known each other, I hope Uncle Chen can lend a hand."<br /> <br /> "No problem, these are trifles."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun waved his hand generously, and then his tone shifted.<br /> <br /> He said with a smile, "It's just that... my dear nephew, your current way of asking for help isn't quite right; it makes it very difficult for me."<br /> <br /> Way?!<br /> <br /> Su Yi clenched his teeth.<br /> <br /> That meant he had to kneel!<br /> <br /> Alright, for his daughter, kneel!<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Su Yi knelt heavily on the ground.<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath, and once again a servile smile appeared on his face as he spit out the flattering words that made him feel nauseous.<br /> <br /> "Uncle Chen, it's my incompetence that has made you witness such a farce."<br /> <br /> "That's more or less like it."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun scoffed and, looking down from on high, lifted his foot and placed it directly on Su Yi's head.<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Su Yi collapsed heavily onto the ground, his mouth full of dust.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun looked down from above: "My dear nephew, you look like a dog right now."<br /> <br /> "I... I am a dog, begging Uncle Chen for help... woof woof woof..."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's teeth gnashed loudly.<br /> <br /> After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, tears of humiliation flowed down, and his face buried deeply into the ground.<br /> <br /> Humiliation, unwillingness!<br /> <br /> But he had to endure it and still entertain the other party!<br /> <br /> "Hahaha..." Chen Mingjun laughed arrogantly: "Your father is an old dog, you are a pup, so isn't your wife a bitch?"<br /> <br /> Su Yi was trembling with anger, yet powerless to do anything.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun smacked his lips: "Tsk, speaking of Lin Xinran, that bitch... she was once famed for her beauty in Yancheng."<br /> <br /> "Anyway, since she can't move, let Uncle Chen train her well someday while you watch."<br /> <br /> "Who knows, maybe she might suddenly be able to move once she gets excited."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his breathing grew rapid.<br /> <br /> "Oh, is this little dog getting angry?"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun mocked him, pressing his shoe sole cruelly against Su Yi's head and spitting a wad of yellow phlegm on the ground.<br /> <br /> "Ptui! I want to see what kind of integrity this dog has, and whether you still want to save your daughter!"<br /> <br /> Daughter...<br /> <br /> Su Yi's body shook.<br /> <br /> Regardless of the extreme humiliation and unwillingness, he had no choice but to swallow his teeth into his stomach.<br /> <br /> Tears streaming down his face, he said, "The... the dog dares not be angry."<br /> <br /> "Hahaha... What an obedient dog!" Chen Mingjun laughed triumphantly, pointing to the ground: "However, a dog can even eat shit, see that spit? Lick it clean for me!"<br /> <br /> "Alright, I'll eat it! I hope that after eating, Uncle Chen will agree to lend me the money!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi gritted his teeth, holding back the nausea, and began crawling forward.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun watched him with a mocking gaze: "After that explosion, I was a little regretful that you didn't die, but now it seems that keeping you as a dog isn't so bad after all."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's movements stiffened suddenly, his face uncontrollably twitching.<br /> <br /> He looked up fiercely, fixing his stare on Chen Mingjun: "That explosion wasn't an accident, you were behind it?!"<br /> <br /> "You can't just say anything!" Chen Mingjun put on a stern face: "You know, medical experiments involve chemicals. My people just happened to purchase a small item mistakenly, who knew such a tragedy would happen. I'm very saddened by this as well!"<br /> <br /> This sentence was essentially an admission of guilt!<br /> <br /> He was the murderer who annihilated Su Yi's entire family!<br /> <br /> In an instant, Su Yi's eyes filled with bloodlust, red as a maddened beast, and a low growl emanated from his throat.<br /> <br /> "Motherfucker! Motherfucker!! I'll kill you!!!"<br /> <br /> The towering hatred from the massacre almost devoured him.<br /> <br /> He roared and struggled to rise from the ground, raising his fist and smashing it down fiercely.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun sidestepped, saying with a smile, "It seems you don't want to save your daughter, huh."<br /> <br /> "Kill you, kill you…" Su Yi was practically insane, continuously roaring, with bloodshot eyes, and only one thought in his brain.<br /> <br /> But before he could act again, a burly and towering man stepped out of the Maybach and stood in front of Chen Mingjun.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun smiled at Su Yi, "I kindly lent you money, but you repay kindness with enmity. Well, then I can only defend myself."<br /> <br /> After speaking, he patted the burly man's shoulder, "Don't kill him, just a broken leg and some internal injuries will do."<br /> <br /> "I still want to wait for him to calm down and beg me like a dog, desperately wagging his tail, asking me to save his daughter."<br /> <br /> The burly man nodded expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun got into the Maybach, carelessly throwing a baseball bat out of it.<br /> <br /> "Don't take too long."<br /> <br /> With those words, he drove the Maybach into the villa's garage.<br /> <br /> "Don't you fucking leave!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi was enraged, eyes red, chasing after him.<br /> <br /> The burly man had already picked up the baseball bat, a cold light in his eyes, swirling the bat heavily and sweeping it across.<br /> <br /> It smashed down hard on Su Yi's knees!<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Crack!<br /> <br /> "Ahhh!!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi collapsed entirely, letting out a piercing scream.<br /> <br /> His kneecap was completely shattered!<br /> <br /> The burly man coldly approached, raising the baseball bat and fiercely thrusting it downwards into Su Yi's chest.<br /> <br /> Spurt!<br /> <br /> A mouthful of blood sprayed out.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face turned pale in an instant, his chest caving in deeply.<br /> <br /> The burly man grabbed his hair, dragged him brutally to the roadside trash can nearby, and stuffed him in roughly.<br /> <br /> After completing this, he dusted off his hands and walked away directly.<br /> <br /> Under the severe pain, Su Yi had already passed out.<br /> <br /> Blood was still gushing from his mouth.<br /> <br /> Soaking through his clothes.<br /> <br /> Staining a dragon-shaped jade pendant.<br /> <br /> This was a Su family heirloom jade pendant, also the only relic left to Su Yi by his father.<br /> <br /> Hum…<br /> <br /> The jade pendant emitted a faint, gentle glow, completely enveloping Su Yi within it.<br /> <br /> Vaguely, as if there were ethereal celestial sounds coming from the horizon.<br /> <br /> "I am the true martial medical ancestor of the Su family."<br /> <br /> "Any descendant of the Su family who inherits my legacy, remember that a physician should, at heart, be benevolent."<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Su Yi had a dream.<br /> <br /> In the dream, there was an elder with the appearance of a young boy and white hair, exuding an aura of immortal charm, performing medical treatments.<br /> <br /> From observation, listening, and questioning to applying acupuncture and practicing alchemy…<br /> <br /> All sorts of mystical abilities, seemingly like magical powers, manifested in the hands of the elder.<br /> <br /> While performing these acts, he also explained them.<br /> <br /> Su Yi listened and learned from the perspective of a bystander.<br /> <br /> The more the elder explained, the more ethereal his body became, until at last, it was nearly transparent.<br /> <br /> Just as his figure was about to completely vanish.<br /> <br /> The elder suddenly turned around, revealing a smile, and pointed at Su Yi's forehead.<br /> <br /> Hum…<br /> <br /> A surge of energy flooded his entire body, and Su Yi felt a warm sensation all over.<br /> <br /> Countless pieces of information rushed into his mind.<br /> <br /> Gradually…<br /> <br /> Su Yi woke up, his consciousness returning to reality in an instant.<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao!"<br /> <br /> He jolted, his heart tied to his daughter, he cried out loud, instinctively climbing out from the trash can.<br /> <br /> Just as he stood on the ground, he was stunned!<br /> <br /> "My legs…"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.<br /> <br /> The events of the dream replayed over and over in his mind.<br /> <br /> Could it be, it was all real?<br /> <br /> The True Martial Medical Ancestor of the Su family's legacy?!<br /> <br /> Gulp!<br /> <br /> Su Yi swallowed hard.<br /> <br /> He tried to feel his body.<br /> <br /> The injuries he had sustained yesterday were all healed!<br /> <br /> And his physical condition had improved overall!<br /> <br /> This was truly a miracle!<br /> <br /> Su Yi was overwhelmingly excited.<br /> <br /> "This is great, with this medical knowledge, I can save my daughter without surgery!"<br /> <br /> "And there's... Chen Mingjun!"<br /> <br /> Remembering the events of the previous night, the extinction of his family, a chill flashed in Su Yi's eyes.<br /> <br /> A blood debt must be paid in blood!<br /> <br /> But the immediate priority was to get to the hospital to save his daughter!<br /> <br /> Thinking of his daughter's illness, the cure naturally came to mind.<br /> <br /> He couldn't afford to delay and immediately set out for the hospital.<br /> <br /> On the way, he also bought a set of silver needles.<br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, he headed straight to his daughter's ward.<br /> <br /> As he reached the corridor, he saw a group of doctors gathered at the door, discussing something with animated concern.<br /> <br /> "It's such a pity, she's so young."<br /> <br /> "Yes, at such a tender age, she should be enjoying a happy childhood… Sigh!"<br /> <br /> Boom!<br /> <br /> It was like a bolt from the blue.<br /> <br /> Su Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely distraught.<br /> <br /> Could it be… no, impossible!<br /> <br /> If that were true, what use was his medical knowledge?!<br /> <br /> "Make way, all of you make way!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi rushed forward like a madman, forcibly pushing the doctors aside at the door.<br /> <br /> No sooner had he entered than he bumped into the doctor from yesterday.<br /> <br /> Su Yi grabbed the doctor's wrist and roared, "You said my daughter could hold on for three days, what's the situation now?!"<br /> <br /> "I… did my best."<br /> <br /> The doctor's face was full of guilt, and his voice was low.<br /> <br /> In the hospital, these three words were almost equivalent to announcing someone's death.<br /> <br /> Su Yi completely broke down, shaking the doctor's shoulders nonstop, tears streaming down his face. "What do you mean by 'did my best'?!"<br /> <br /> "What does 'did my best' mean?!!"<br /> <br /> "You clearly said three days, how come it's not even one day and she's gone?!!"<br /> <br /> The doctor didn't speak, but tears were also present in his eyes.<br /> <br /> The other doctors all tried to explain and console him.<br /> <br /> "This family member, Doctor Song truly did everything he could, he even took out his own retirement funds to try to pay for your daughter's surgery, but it's too late."<br /> <br /> "Yes, he said he'd promised you to watch over your daughter for three days, but he failed to do so. He cried all night long yesterday."<br /> <br /> "We called you, but no one answered."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face was ash-gray, and he leaned against the wall, his body lacking the strength to stand.<br /> <br /> At that moment, it was as if all his vitality had been sapped away.<br /> <br /> Doctor Song's eyes were brimming with tears, "Don't try to comfort me, I know Mr. Su feels uneasy... It's all my fault..."<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> As he spoke, he fiercely slapped his own face.<br /> <br /> Just then, an angry reprimand came from down the corridor, "What are you all doing crowding around here?!"<br /> <br /> "Don't you know that the dean and Professor Li are coming soon?"<br /> <br /> "I warn you, anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical moment, I will not be lenient!"<br /> <br /> A forty-something-year-old middle-aged man with a gloomy expression on his face walked over.<br /> <br /> The badge on his chest read Director of Neurology.<br /> <br /> Seeing him approach, the doctors, displaying frightened expressions, turned and left one after another.<br /> <br /> Doctor Song did not leave.<br /> <br /> He looked at Su Yi, full of guilt, "Mr. Su, if you feel upset, you can beat me to vent your anger. That way, I might feel a bit better too."<br /> <br /> Su Yi, looking as if his soul had departed his body, shook his head.<br /> <br /> The director said with displeasure, "Song Renxin, did you not hear what I said? Hurry back to your position!"<br /> <br /> The doctor called Song Renxin replied in a deep voice, "Director Liu, the little girl in this ward is also my patient."<br /> <br /> Director Liu frowned and scolded, "Nonsense! The little girl's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, her entire central nervous system is paralyzed!"<br /> <br /> "She is hanging on by a single breath right now, even surgery won't save her!"<br /> <br /> "Your insistence on staying beside a dying person is irresponsible to the other patients!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin was unable to refute.<br /> <br /> But Su Yi trembled all over, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.<br /> <br /> His daughter was still clinging to a breath!<br /> <br /> That was enough!<br /> <br /> With the medical knowledge in his mind, he could definitely save her!<br /> <br /> Without any hesitation, Su Yi turned and entered the ward.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face changed, "Who is he?"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin replied gravely, "He's the patient's father."<br /> <br /> Director Liu was displeased, but he said nothing and just nodded, "Good, let him see his daughter for the last time."<br /> <br /> "My daughter is not dead!"<br /> <br /> Inside the ward, Su Yi shouted.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face darkened, "Family member, I know she's not dead yet, but it's now beyond hope."<br /> <br /> "Originally, if you hadn't come, once she took her last breath, our hospital would have sent her straight to the morgue."<br /> <br /> "Now, you might as well take your daughter home and prepare for her funeral!"<br /> <br /> Inside the ward, Su Yi didn't speak.<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath, adjusting himself to the best state, took out his package of silver needles, and extracted one.<br /> <br /> His first time treating a patient, especially his daughter.<br /> <br /> Su Yi was determined to be fully focused, not allowing himself any mistakes!<br /> <br /> And he would not allow external disturbances!<br /> <br /> Outside the ward, Song Renxin bit his lip and said, "Director Liu, we are a hospital, we must prioritize compassion. Until the very last moment, unless voluntary by the family, we cannot let the family take the patient away!"<br /> <br /> "Why can't we? Right now, the relatives of patients are like ticking time bombs. Who knows when they'll cause medical disturbances? Do we really have to wait for the dean and Professor Li to witness such a commotion?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu was extremely cold, as if human life was no different from that of an ant.<br /> <br /> He waited for a moment, but seeing that Su Yi did not come out with his daughter, his brows furrowed all the more.<br /> <br /> "What the hell are you doing?"<br /> <br /> Director Liu, growing impatient, also walked into the ward.<br /> <br /> Just as he entered, he saw Su Yi sitting beside the bed with a serious expression, a long, thin silver needle pinched between his fingers.<br /> <br /> Instantly, his expression changed dramatically!<br /> <br /> "What the fuck are you doing?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu bellowed, striding forward and grabbing Su Yi's wrist, his eyes full of rage.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Su Yi also adjusted himself to the optimum state.<br /> <br /> Now was the moment!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's gaze flashed, his wrist unmoved, he simply flicked his finger.<br /> <br /> Whoosh!<br /> <br /> The silver needle shot out, piercing his daughter's brow with utmost precision.<br /> <br /> "Empty-air acupuncture?!!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin, hearing the sound and coming in, just caught sight of this scene, his pupils shrank, and he was utterly shocked.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> "You wanna die, do it alone, don't drag me into it!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu screamed, his face turning pale with fright.<br /> <br /> He didn't understand acupuncture performed in midair, but he knew the stakes of this inspection were high!<br /> <br /> If anything untoward happened in his department...<br /> <br /> he could kiss his director's position goodbye!<br /> <br /> "Get your daughter and get the hell out of here. If you want treatment, go elsewhere, but don't cause trouble in our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu yelled, trying to pull Su Yi away forcefully.<br /> <br /> But Su Yi was no longer the man he used to be, his body immovable, his gaze constantly fixed on his daughter's condition.<br /> <br /> With his free hand, he once again picked up a silver needle.<br /> <br /> Director Liu gnashed his teeth in anger, "Are you fucking deaf?!"<br /> <br /> "I'm warning you, your daughter is about to die!"<br /> <br /> "Go ahead and prepare for your daughter's funeral, stop struggling!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin shouted sternly, "Director Liu, as long as the patient has a breath left, we can't give up!"<br /> <br /> "Besides, Mr. Su is skilled in midair acupuncture, why not let him try?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned cold, "Song Renxin, are you the director or am I?"<br /> <br /> "Also, why have I never heard of midair acupuncture?"<br /> <br /> "Don't fucking make up terms to fool me!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin was so angry he silently gritted his teeth.<br /> <br /> You're really a tyrant, aren't you?<br /> <br /> Midair acupuncture is one of the highest attainments in traditional Chinese medicine.<br /> <br /> In the whole country, there probably aren't more than twenty who can do it effectively.<br /> <br /> And each one is a national treasure of a doctor!<br /> <br /> But... an official rank higher crushes the person below!<br /> <br /> Despite his title as director, Song Renxin truly had no way to deal with him.<br /> <br /> At that moment, a nurse rushed in: "Director Liu, the Hospital President and Professor Li have arrived."<br /> <br /> "They've already visited the internal medicine and surgery departments; next up is our neurology department."<br /> <br /> What?!<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned pale again.<br /> <br /> He couldn't delay any longer.<br /> <br /> He had to get rid of them as quickly as possible!<br /> <br /> Even if it took extreme measures, it would be worth it!<br /> <br /> As long as he got through this inspection smoothly, he could use his position to suppress any issues that arose afterward.<br /> <br /> "Fine, I got it."<br /> <br /> Director Liu sent the nurse away, his expression darkening as he glanced at Su Yi and gritted his teeth.<br /> <br /> "You won't leave, is that it? Then don't blame me for throwing your daughter out!"<br /> <br /> In his desperation to keep his position, Director Liu let go of Su Yi's wrist and moved to pick up Su Xiaoxiao.<br /> <br /> "You fucking stop right there!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's expression hardened, and before he could act, Song Renxin let out a roar of rage.<br /> <br /> The senior doctor, over sixty years old, rushed forward, grabbing Director Liu from behind.<br /> <br /> He yelled at Su Yi, "Mr. Su, go ahead with the acupuncture, I'll stop him!"<br /> <br /> "Thank you!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded appreciatively, quickly focusing his mind, his hand flicking out the silver needle again.<br /> <br /> He concentrated intently, his hands fluttering like butterflies, continuously drawing out needles and piercing the air to hit the acupuncture points on his daughter.<br /> <br /> Fluid and graceful, achieving harmony in a single breath of work!<br /> <br /> Though it was his first time administering the needles in such a way, it appeared as if he had practiced countless times.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face twisted in ugly frustration, struggling ceaselessly: "Song Renxin, are you fucking rebelling?!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin cursed back, "You bastard! You bastard!! You bastard!!!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu was taken aback by the rebuke.<br /> <br /> Right then, a furious shout came from outside the door: "What the hell is going on here?!"<br /> <br /> "We can hear the lot of you cursing from the hallway, what kind of behavior is this?!"<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Director Liu shivered and dared not struggle anymore.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin also released him without delay, hastily turning his attention to Su Yi.<br /> <br /> "Mr. Su, is everything going smoothly?"<br /> <br /> "Hmm."<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded without saying much else.<br /> <br /> The treatment was already underway, and he couldn't afford any distractions that might cause complications.<br /> <br /> He continued his actions without pause, administering more midair acupuncture.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, two men, both over sixty, entered from outside.<br /> <br /> It was the Hospital President and Professor Li.<br /> <br /> As they entered, ready to scold, their eyes caught sight of Su Yi's movements.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, they both trembled.<br /> <br /> "Is this… needle throwing?!"<br /> <br /> The director was utterly shocked, unable to believe his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at Professor Li beside him.<br /> <br /> Professor Li was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, and could be regarded as one of the medical community's authoritative figures.<br /> <br /> He stared intently at Su Yi and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, it is needle throwing!"<br /> <br /> "However… these movements as smooth as flowing clouds and water, the effortless flick of the wrist, I have never seen before!"<br /> <br /> "This is definitely a Grandmaster of medicine!"<br /> <br /> How could this be?!<br /> <br /> One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.<br /> <br /> The whole room was in an uproar.<br /> <br /> No one expected Professor Li's evaluation of Su Yi to be so high!<br /> <br /> A Grandmaster of medicine!<br /> <br /> Throughout the entire country, those who could bear this title were no more than a handful!<br /> <br /> Even Professor Li himself fell just short of the mark!<br /> <br /> Director Liu couldn't help but tremble, his forehead bead with cold sweat as it soaked through his clothes.<br /> <br /> Seeing this, Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, why are you so nervous?"<br /> <br /> "I... I, why would I be nervous?"<br /> <br /> Director Liu argued stiffly, but his words lacked conviction.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin feigned curiosity, "Wasn't it you just now who wanted to stop Mister Su, this Grandmaster of medicine, from administering the needle to save someone?"<br /> <br /> He emphasized the word "Grandmaster" particularly heavily.<br /> <br /> "You you… You're talking nonsense!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu argued vehemently, his face flushed and his neck thickening.<br /> <br /> Their exchange naturally didn't escape the ears of the director and Professor Li.<br /> <br /> "Right, I haven't asked yet, what exactly happened just now?"<br /> <br /> The director said with a grim expression.<br /> <br /> In front of a Grandmaster of medicine, people in his hospital actually came to blows.<br /> <br /> This was truly a disgrace!<br /> <br /> Professor Li looked at Director Liu, his brows deeply furrowed: "I heard... you wanted to stop this Grandmaster from saving a life?"<br /> <br /> His words were not harsh, but they made Director Liu sweat profusely, his expression one of panic.<br /> <br /> This man was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, whose word alone could determine the life or death of his directorship.<br /> <br /> "It was… it was like this…"<br /> <br /> "Right, it was this little girl patient, her cerebral nerve tumor had worsened to the point where even surgery couldn't save her."<br /> <br /> "But this patient's family member insisted on administering the needle himself. He's not a doctor, so of course I couldn't let him do it."<br /> <br /> Director Liu's tone was frantic, but at least it seemed he had found a somewhat decent excuse.<br /> <br /> He sighed in relief as if a great burden had been lifted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, we really shouldn't lie with our eyes wide open."<br /> <br /> "Since you won't tell the truth, then I'll just have to lay it all out."<br /> <br /> Director Liu shuddered all over, shouting out loud to interrupt, "Song Renxin, you're just trying to slander me maliciously!"<br /> <br /> "Fine, you say I am slandering you, so I won't speak anymore. However, don't forget, Mister Su is still in the ward!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin sneered coldly and truly said nothing more.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's heart trembled, uneasy and unsettled, casting glances at Su Yi from time to time.<br /> <br /> He wondered how he was going to deal with what was to come.<br /> <br /> The director and Professor Li looked at each other and nodded in agreement.<br /> <br /> Well then, they would delve into this matter after the treatment was finished.<br /> <br /> Once again, they turned their attention to Su Yi.<br /> <br /> The director let out a sigh, "It's a pity, this Grandmaster of medicine does not belong to our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Professor Li chuckled, "True talents are hidden among the common folk, the greatest figures are the most unassuming. Perhaps Mister Su comes from an old master."<br /> <br /> At this moment, the treatment had reached its most critical stage.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's hands moved faster and faster.<br /> <br /> In the end, they blurred into afterimages!<br /> <br /> One needle after another was thrown precisely, and just as many were pulled out, to be inserted into other acupoints.<br /> <br /> Dazzling to behold, impossible to follow closely.<br /> <br /> Faintly, there was a mysterious significance contained within.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin watched Su Yi intently, as if he had realized something, yet he always lacked that final bit.<br /> <br /> The director felt the same way.<br /> <br /> As for Professor Li, with a deeper understanding of medicine, he could appreciate the subtleties even more, his eyes growing increasingly shocked.<br /> <br /> Only Director Liu was anxious and restless, completely at a loss.<br /> <br /> Finally!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's last needle fell!<br /> <br /> The astonishment in Professor Li's eyes had reached an indescribable extreme; he couldn't help but exclaim aloud.<br /> <br /> "One needle decides life and death!"<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> A single needle decides life and death!<br /> <br /> Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.<br /> <br /> From these five words alone, one could sense the dominance they contained!<br /> <br /> The dean hurriedly asked, "Old Li, what is 'a single needle decides life and death'?"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin also looked at Professor Li with a puzzled expression.<br /> <br /> Professor Li spoke solemnly, "I once saw a type of acupuncture technique in an ancient text, which claimed to 'revive the dead and mend bones.'<br /> <br /> "That acupuncture technique is called 'deciding life and death'!"<br /> <br /> "I observed that Mr. Su's technique just now is exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient text."<br /> <br /> "And the final needle in 'deciding life and death' is called 'a single needle decides life and death'!"<br /> <br /> "Life and death are not determined by the King of Hell, not by the judge, but by the person who administers the needle!"<br /> <br /> Boom!<br /> <br /> Thunder from a clear sky!<br /> <br /> Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, their minds buzzing.<br /> <br /> Could there really be such a miraculous acupuncture technique in this world?<br /> <br /> If there is...<br /> <br /> Would that still be considered medical skill?<br /> <br /> It's practically magic!<br /> <br /> Professor Li took in their expressions and sighed, "I have only come across descriptions of 'deciding life and death' in the ancient texts."<br /> <br /> "As for whether this medical technique truly exists, I cannot give you an answer."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin's gaze flickered.<br /> <br /> For some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in Su Yi.<br /> <br /> He said in a deep voice, "Ms. Su's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, and with the current level of medical science, it is impossible to cure her."<br /> <br /> "If... she is cured this time, would it be evidence of this acupuncture technique?"<br /> <br /> The dean said sternly, "If her condition is truly as you described, and if Mr. Su can cure her, then of course it will be proven!"<br /> <br /> Professor Li didn't speak, but his eyes were ablaze as he watched Su Yi.<br /> <br /> If given the chance...<br /> <br /> He really wanted to follow Su Yi and properly learn from him.<br /> <br /> Even if 'deciding life and death' were false, the skill of performing acupuncture in midair was genuinely real.<br /> <br /> Sigh...<br /> <br /> At that moment, Su Yi also took a long breath.<br /> <br /> Sweat beads covered his forehead.<br /> <br /> After all, it was his first time treating someone, and the patient was his daughter; it was inevitably taxing and nerve-wracking.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, everything went smoothly.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin asked with concern, "Mr. Su, how is it now?"<br /> <br /> "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Song, she is cured now,"<br /> <br /> Su Yi said with a smile.<br /> <br /> Just as these words fell,<br /> <br /> On the sickbed, Su Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyelids.<br /> <br /> Her dark eyes were briefly vacant, then turned into surprise.<br /> <br /> "Daddy, I can see now!"<br /> <br /> She rubbed her eyes numerous times, her tender voice bursting with joy.<br /> <br /> Those around who witnessed this scene were utterly shocked.<br /> <br /> "A miracle, this is completely a miracle!"<br /> <br /> "Truly 'a single needle decides life and death,' only this legendary method could have such an immediate effect!"<br /> <br /> "To think that in my lifetime, I'd actually witness a miracle that would go down in medical history!"<br /> <br /> Amazement and admiration were endless.<br /> <br /> Aside from Director Liu, everyone was extremely excited.<br /> <br /> But the most excited was Su Yi.<br /> <br /> He picked up his daughter from the sickbed, feeling her small body in his arms, and couldn't help but cry tears of joy, unable to utter a word.<br /> <br /> His daughter lifted her small face, wiping his cheeks with her tiny hands, looking somewhat guilty, "Daddy, don't cry... Did it cost a lot of money to treat Xiao Xiao?"<br /> <br /> "It's all Xiao Xiao's fault, I'm so stupid, I couldn't bear the pain after only three days."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Yi's heart ached, and tears streamed from his eyes.<br /> <br /> Due to family circumstances, his daughter had always been sensible, so sensible that it was heartbreaking!<br /> <br /> Su Yi held her tighter, his voice choked with emotion, "Daddy is just so happy, it's not Xiao Xiao's fault, it's Daddy who hasn't done well."<br /> <br /> "Daddy swears, I will definitely give you and Mommy a good life in the future!"<br /> <br /> This promise was not just an emotional vow, but a commitment he intended to keep for life!<br /> <br /> "Mm, Xiao Xiao believes in Daddy!"<br /> <br /> His daughter nodded firmly, her little face resolute.<br /> <br /> This scene moved everyone in the ward as well.<br /> <br /> Su Yi wiped away his tears and, holding his daughter, turned to Song Renxin, "Xiao Xiao, this is Dr. Song; you should call him Grandpa. It's all thanks to his help that you were cured, so be sure to thank Grandpa Song."<br /> <br /> Su Xiaoxiao said in her clear voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Song."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin's heart nearly melted, responding repeatedly, "Eh, such a good, sensible child.<br /> <br /> "But you must not thank me; it was your daddy who cured you."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes brimmed with pride, and she stood taller.<br /> <br /> Daddy is really amazing!<br /> <br /> Su Yi sincerely said, "Dr. Song, it was all because of you that I had the chance to save my daughter; this thanks, you fully deserve."<br /> <br /> "If it weren't for you..."<br /> <br /> As he spoke, he looked towards Director Liu, a cold light in his eyes, "This director who wields great authority would probably have thrown my daughter out!"<br /> <br /> What?!<br /> <br /> Director Liu was going to throw out a patient?!!<br /> <br /> The dean and Professor Li were both shaken, turning their heads toward Director Liu with a fiery gaze.<br /> <br /> "Liu, explain yourself right now!!"<br /> <br /> "I... I... I didn't."<br /> <br /> Director Liu sweated profusely, stammering.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin saw this and immediately sneered, "You didn't say anything just now and wouldn't let me speak, but now that Mr. Su has said it himself, you still won't admit it!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu trembled all over, restless and uneasy.<br /> <br /> He could admit to anything else, but this matter was the only one he couldn't!<br /> <br /> Ignoring the lives of patients is a grave taboo in a hospital!<br /> <br /> Especially in front of the dean and Professor Li!<br /> <br /> Once he admitted it, he would be finished!<br /> <br /> "You, you, you... you're talking nonsense! I never thought about throwing the patient out, you're just spewing slander!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face was ablaze with fury, roaring repeatedly.<br /> <br /> To those unaware, it would seem as though he suffered a great injustice.<br /> <br /> But everyone present had ample experience and could see that he was blustering to cover his fragility, utterly lacking in confidence.<br /> <br /> The dean and Professor Li's faces were somber, as if they were about to drip water.<br /> <br /> They could never have imagined that there were such twists and turns involved!<br /> <br /> Especially the dean, who trembled with rage.<br /> <br /> This incident occurred in his hospital, an utter smear on his professional record!<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> He strode forward and delivered a powerful slap, bellowing angrily.<br /> <br /> "You dare to argue?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu staggered, his half of his face swelling up.<br /> <br /> But he dared not admit it, repeatedly saying, "I'm not arguing, Dean, you have a discerning eye, I really didn't..."<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> Another harsh slap!<br /> <br /> This time, it was Professor Li who struck.<br /> <br /> With clenched teeth, he said, "Even now, you refuse to repent. Then explain to us, when we came in, Dr. Song was holding you, how do you explain that?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned deathly white, and he collapsed onto the floor.<br /> <br /> Indeed, how could he explain?<br /> <br /> There was no explanation!<br /> <br /> The dean turned to Su Yi, respectfully bowed, "Mr. Su, our hospital has nurtured such a scum, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"<br /> <br /> "This matter is unrelated to the hospital, but he must pay the price for what he has done!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face was cold.<br /> <br /> "Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding."<br /> <br /> The dean sincerely expressed his gratitude, then turned to stare at Director Liu and said indifferently, "From now on, you are no longer part of our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face was ashen, begging for mercy, "Dean, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"<br /> <br /> The dean remained unmoved.<br /> <br /> Professor Li added coldly, "As the honorary dean of the Medical College, I declare that from now on, you are blacklisted in the medical industry. If any hospital or clinic dares to employ you, I will shut it down directly!"<br /> <br /> That statement had an even greater impact!<br /> <br /> Thump.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's legs gave out, and he kneeled on the ground, crying profusely, repeatedly kowtowing.<br /> <br /> "Professor Li, I was wrong, I really know my mistake."<br /> <br /> "I am willing to leave the hospital, please don't ban me from the entire industry!"<br /> <br /> "There should always be a way out for a person."<br /> <br /> Both elderly men remained silent with stern faces.<br /> <br /> After pondering for a moment, Su Yi said indifferently, "Dean, Professor, I think that Dr. Song is qualified for the position of director."<br /> <br /> "Right, right, I think so too!" the dean immediately nodded in agreement: "Dr. Song has a compassionate heart, and he's also a senior member of our hospital, he is definitely qualified."<br /> <br /> Professor Li also nodded in agreement: "With the director position vacant, Dr. Song is indeed the perfect choice."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin felt a tremor in his body, his whole person became excited.<br /> <br /> Director Liu was like a petrified chicken.<br /> <br /> They had chosen his replacement right in front of him.<br /> <br /> Now he was truly finished.<br /> <br /> There was no turning back!<br /> <br /> And all of this was brought upon himself!<br /> <br /> Su Yi didn't even glance at him as he said to the others, "Dr. Song, Dean, Professor, my daughter is better now, and I will take my leave. I'll come back another day to repay Dr. Song the money he advanced. I hope I won't still see certain disagreeable person then."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Su, rest assured, I will have security throw him out immediately!"<br /> <br /> The dean said repeatedly.<br /> <br /> He immediately went to the door and called several security guards who dragged away the ashen-faced Director Liu.<br /> <br /> And Su Yi also left.<br /> <br /> In his arms, his daughter looked thrilled, "Daddy, you're so amazing, the doctors all listen to you!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi said proudly, "That's right, haven't you seen whose daughter you are?"<br /> <br /> His daughter proudly exclaimed, "My daddy is the best!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi ruffled her little head, "When we get home, daddy can also cure mommy."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, a bright light burst forth in his daughter's eyes, "Really? Mommy can be cured too?"<br /> <br /> "Yes!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded emphatically, his tone affirmative.<br /> <br /> "That's great, mommy can be cured too!"<br /> <br /> Overjoyed, his daughter leaned on Su Yi's shoulder, her arms wide open in excitement, as if she wanted the entire world to know.<br /> <br /> A tender warmth filled Su Yi's heart.<br /> <br /> Daughter, wife, we will definitely have a happy and perfect family!<br /> <br /> When Su Yi arrived back at the apartment complex, the tenderness in his heart turned icy in an instant.<br /> <br /> He saw a Maybach at the entrance of the complex.<br /> <br /> It was Chen Mingjun's car!<br /> <br /> This low-grade community couldn't possibly have anything to do with Chen Mingjun.<br /> <br /> His being here could only have one purpose—<br /> <br /> Lin Xinran!<br /> <br /> "Damn it! Chen Mingjun, you beast!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's eyes were filled with rage, he cursed under his breath, and rushed towards his home at the fastest speed.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Seeing the bodyguard standing at the entrance of the building, Su Yi's mind exploded with a "bang".<br /> <br /> Shit! These people were ultimately targeting Lin Xinran!<br /> <br /> In his urgency, Su Yi still decided to leave his daughter at his friend's house downstairs first.<br /> <br /> He knocked on the door of his friend's house and, under Ye Yueluo's puzzled gaze, handed his daughter over to her.<br /> <br /> There was no time for lengthy explanations. Su Yi instructed tersely, "It's urgent, please watch Xiao Xiao for me, don't come out."<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao, listen to your sister Yueluo. Daddy will be back soon."<br /> <br /> After saying these words, Su Yi dashed off as fast as he could.<br /> <br /> Just as he entered the hallway, two bodyguards leaned to the side, blocking the entrance.<br /> <br /> "Chen Family business, outsiders step back."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Yi's eyes also turned cold.<br /> <br /> "Chen Family? It's your Chen Family people I'm here to beat!"<br /> <br /> The bodyguard was furious. Who dared to disregard the Chen Family? Take them down first!<br /> <br /> Several bodyguards charged straight at him.<br /> <br /> Su Yi let out a cold laugh.<br /> <br /> Facing the hands trying to grab him, he neither dodged nor avoided, meeting them with a casual hand.<br /> <br /> At the moment their hands touched, Su Yi's hand twisted bizarrely, sliding past the bodyguard's wrist.<br /> <br /> With a gentle twist at the base of the palm!<br /> <br /> A "crack" was heard, and the bodyguard, propelled by inertia, fell to the ground.<br /> <br /> The bodyguard who took the fall tried to get up, only to start rolling on the ground in pain.<br /> <br /> That hand was clearly broken! The entire wrist was grotesquely bent backwards.<br /> <br /> The remaining bodyguard couldn't stop his momentum and was deftly dodged by Su Yi.<br /> <br /> A casual tap on the arm, a pull and a snap, he too was rolling on the ground.<br /> <br /> Any further attackers were easily handled with a few light strokes, all laid out clean and neat.<br /> <br /> Having dealt with the underlings, Su Yi rushed forward.<br /> <br /> Picking locks and sliding doors open in one smooth motion.<br /> <br /> Upon entering, even with his strong composure, Su Yi's eyes instantly filled with blood.<br /> <br /> The room had already been ravaged by these jackals, debris scattered and broken everywhere.<br /> <br /> In the center of the living room, a rope ran through someone's hands, hanging what turned out to be Lin Xinran who had been dragged out of bed!<br /> <br /> Lin Xinran's clothes were half-undone, while Chen Mingjun was touching her long jade legs with a sleazy expression on his face!<br /> <br /> "True to be counted as one of the past beauties of Yancheng, but even now being paralyzed, there is a different kind of pleasure in playing with her!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi roared in anger, wishing he could tear Chen Mingjun to pieces on the spot!<br /> <br /> "Beast!!!"<br /> <br /> Startled by the noise, Chen Mingjun jumped and quickly turned around.<br /> <br /> Seeing Su Yi's fierce face, Chen Mingjun clearly panicked.<br /> <br /> "You? How did you get up here? Weren't your legs broken??" Chen Mingjun asked in disbelief.<br /> <br /> He had struck with killing intent, breaking bones, how could he walk again?!<br /> <br /> Even with their newly developed miracle drug, one would need to lie down for at least a month; how could a lively Su Yi suddenly appear?<br /> <br /> It was unbelievable!<br /> <br /> "Yeah, but grandpa here is tough, I can take it."<br /> <br /> Words came from Su Yi's teeth, one by one, filled with rage.<br /> <br /> Suppressing the fury in his heart, Su Yi spoke while moving forward.<br /> <br /> With a false bravado, Chen Mingjun warned, "I'm warning you, don't come any closer, my men are just downstairs!""<br /> <br /> Su Yi replied coldly, "Heh heh heh, today you won't be able to call anyone, let's settle both new and old scores."<br /> <br /> Watching such a furiously mad Su Yi, Chen Mingjun finally panicked, cursing inwardly, "These useless fools! Can't even stop one person!"<br /> <br /> But his body moved bit by bit towards the window ledge; as long as he had a chance to call out, he refused to believe a cripple could turn things upside down!<br /> <br /> In Chen Mingjun's territory, no one had been able to touch him!<br /> <br /> Realizing this, Chen Mingjun became arrogant again.<br /> <br /> "Bodyguards, come up! Dammit, I have to kill him today!"<br /> <br /> A moment of silence...<br /> <br /> "Bodyguards! Bodyguards!! Dammit, where are they?"<br /> <br /> Seeing no response, Chen Mingjun leaned out of the window to look.<br /> <br /> It was bad enough to look, but the men lay sprawled on the ground in disarray!<br /> <br /> None able to stand up!<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun panicked in an instant.<br /> <br /> "How is this possible!!!"<br /> <br /> Turning back to see Su Yi, he couldn't help but feel a chill and his body went limp.<br /> <br /> How had Su Yi, who not long ago had broken legs and was barely breathing, suddenly become so fierce?!<br /> <br /> It was too weird!<br /> <br /> At this moment, Chen Mingjun was both shocked and scared, scrambling to get beside Lin Xinran.<br /> <br /> "Don't come any closer, I have your wife!"<br /> <br /> Things had been okay until this was mentioned.<br /> <br /> Su Yi instantly flew into a rage!<br /> <br /> In that instant, a streak of black glimmer ripped through the air!<br /> <br /> It was a tiny silver needle!<br /> <br /> Whoosh!<br /> <br /> It slipped into Chen Mingjun's knuckle with exquisite precision.<br /> <br /> In an instant, Chen Mingjun froze in place, a piercing pain shooting from the tip of his finger into his brain.<br /> <br /> "Ahh—"<br /> <br /> Accompanied by a scream, Chen Mingjun fell to the ground and rolled in agony.<br /> <br /> He tried to pull out the needle, but the area around the puncture felt ablaze.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun screamed in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror as he looked at Su Yi.<br /> <br /> Su Yi didn't bother watching Chen Mingjun whimper like a beaten dog on the ground; with a silver needle, he snapped the hemp rope tied around Lin Xinran's hands.<br /> <br /> He lifted Lin Xinran down, hooked a broken wheelchair out from the mess on the ground with the tip of his foot, and gently placed Lin Xinran on it.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's slender fingers rested on Lin Xinran's wrist, carefully feeling for her pulse.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, she wasn't seriously harmed! Su Yi finally let out a breath of relief.<br /> <br /> When he looked back at Chen Mingjun, his eyes turned fiercely sharp.<br /> <br /> "You, don't come closer!" Chen Mingjun struggled to his feet, enduring the severe pain. He couldn't hide the fear in his eyes, and he took two steps back abruptly.<br /> <br /> "I'm warning you, this is a society governed by laws! Don't you dare do anything rash, I've called the police!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's chilly gaze swept over Chen Mingjun's face, and he took a deep breath.<br /> <br /> In the past, he had lacked the ability, but now, he had awakened his family's legacy.<br /> <br /> It was time to strike back!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's hands flipped, and his eerie finger techniques touched Chen Mingjun's body, paralyzing him immediately.<br /> <br /> "Slap—"<br /> <br /> A crisp slap landed on Chen Mingjun's cheek, inflaming half of his face instantly.<br /> <br /> "You... You dare to hit me!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was shocked and furious. Since when did the powerless Su Yi have so many tricks up his sleeve?!<br /> <br /> Moreover, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!<br /> <br /> But he couldn't afford to think more. Seeing Su Yi's hand coming towards him, Chen Mingjun's pupils constricted.<br /> <br /> "You, you can't do this! I can give you money!! Spare me! I'll pay for your wife and daughter's treatments!!"<br /> <br /> At the mention of his wife and daughter, Su Yi's face turned colder.<br /> <br /> Su Yi pinched Chen Mingjun's wrist and started twisting it inch by inch.<br /> <br /> As the sound of bones cracking "crack crack" filled the air, Chen Mingjun's whole body started shaking.<br /> <br /> "Ahhhh—"<br /> <br /> Heart-wrenching screams echoed in the hallway for a long time.<br /> <br /> He looked at Su Yi in terror, his eyeballs nearly bursting from their sockets!<br /> <br /> "No! Noooooo—"<br /> <br /> "This needle is to make sure you can bear it."<br /> <br /> With a cold smile, Su Yi flicked his hand, and a silver needle punctured the nerve in Chen Mingjun's scapula.<br /> <br /> More prolonged screams followed.<br /> <br /> The immense pain, mixed with fear, distorted Chen Mingjun's face, but because it hit a specific nerve, he couldn't faint from the pain!<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's hand was twisted, forced into an eerie angle!<br /> <br /> "You've been committing crimes for so long; it's time you paid a price!"<br /> <br /> "What, what are you going to do to me!"<br /> <br /> Looking coldly at the grotesque but lucid Chen Mingjun, Su Yi took out another needle.<br /> <br /> "No! Please, spare me!! I won't dare do it again! I'll give back all the shares, please, no!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's hair stood on end, his voice altered.<br /> <br /> "Please, just let me go, and I'll do anything you ask, whatever you want, I can give it to you, please!"<br /> <br /> "You'll do anything? What you will have to do isn't that much."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun saw a glimmer of hope and said tremblingly, "Anything at all, just command me, I'll certainly make sure it's done!"<br /> <br /> "Then just enjoy this needle." Su Yi's indifferent words reached Chen Mingjun's ears, one by one.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was a mixture of horror and fear.<br /> <br /> "No... No—!!!"<br /> <br /> "This needle is for Lin Xinran."<br /> <br /> With a cold smirk, Su Yi spoke slowly, appearing like a King of Hell emerging from the abyss!<br /> <br /> A needle went down.<br /> <br /> "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's miserable wailing resonated throughout the building.<br /> <br /> "Hehehe, you'll always be a eunuch now."<br /> ...

We came to the "city that never sleeps" to help our daughter with the kids. But my tinnitus started hissing at me as soon as we got stuck in traffic on our way there... <br /> <br /> The first several days were a complete nightmare since the city never sleeps, so neither did I! My daughter Susan found out about this "10-second" habit that helped her coworker, so she told me I should try it a try... I was a little sceptical, but I wasn't about to become one of those folk who complains that nothing ever works and gives up without fighting... <br /> <br /> Well, Susan sent me the link (it is below). So I watched the video, and after I tried it... it was like I pressed a mute button. Relief - peace and bliss, my headaches are gone, the cringing sounds shut down. I felt like I had just gotten off the rollercoaster... <br /> <br /> I didn't see where the video was going, but in the end, it was a happy ending for me. And as I said, finally, I got away from the terrible buzzing sound. No more ringing or high-pitched sounds in my head.

Go pay the fees right now, and let's start the surgery!"<br /> <br /> Pay the fees...<br /> <br /> Su Yi snapped back to reality, his expression bitter as he patted his pockets.<br /> <br /> Aside from an old cell phone, he didn't have a single penny.<br /> <br /> Seeing his plight, the doctor's anger grew yet he also felt more angered: "No money? Then why didn't you bring her in before her condition worsened!"<br /> <br /> Though he spoke sharply, the doctor's conscience prevailed.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I'll advance the medical and hospitalization expenses for you; let's stabilize her condition first."<br /> <br /> "The surgery will cost around three hundred thousand, you better hurry up and find a way to get the money."<br /> <br /> "Remember, three days—if it's more than three days, it's all over!"<br /> <br /> In an era where interests reign supreme and capital rules, such a doctor was truly rare.<br /> <br /> With tears covering his face, Su Yi was immensely grateful and kept bowing deeply.<br /> <br /> "I really can't thank you enough; you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva."<br /> <br /> "Stop wasting time, hurry up, don't delay a minute!"<br /> <br /> The doctor urged sternly.<br /> <br /> Wiping away tears, Su Yi turned and strode out of the hospital.<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, Daddy will definitely save you," Su Yi told himself silently.<br /> <br /> But thinking of the three hundred thousand needed for the surgery, a strong sense of powerlessness surged inside him.<br /> <br /> He once had a very happy family.<br /> <br /> They were in business, mainly in the pharmaceutical field, even having their own medical laboratory.<br /> <br /> But due to an accident, the lab exploded, leaving no one in his family alive except for himself, who wasn't there at the time.<br /> <br /> The family business was also devoured clean by the other shareholders at the first opportunity.<br /> <br /> Fortunately, the Su and the Lin families were longtime friends, and both patriarchs were comrade-at-arms with life-saving bonds between them.<br /> <br /> A long time ago, the two old men had arranged a marriage between Su Yi and Lin Xinran.<br /> <br /> After the explosion, Old Master Lin, valuing loyalty and righteousness, took Su Yi into the Lin family and personally arranged the marriage for him.<br /> <br /> Since then, Su Yi had become the son-in-law of the Lin family.<br /> <br /> At first, the Lin family had their reservations about Su Yi, but due to the senior's authority, they dared not be too excessive.<br /> <br /> Since the old man died three years ago, their attitude towards Su Yi changed drastically.<br /> <br /> It was also at that time that Su Yi's wife, Lin Xinran, fell ill with a strange disease, becoming virtually a vegetative person.<br /> <br /> She could open and close her eyes, eat and drink, but she couldn't move a single finger, nor could she utter a single word.<br /> <br /> At that time, their daughter, Su Xiaoxiao, had just turned one year old.<br /> <br /> Good fortunes don't come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.<br /> <br /> Seizing the opportunity, the Lin family began asserting themselves, expelling the mother and daughter from the clan on the pretext of the family being useless.<br /> <br /> Even Lin Xinran's parents chose to break off relations with them to enjoy the wealth and status within the clan.<br /> <br /> It could be said that Su Yi was now truly alone.<br /> <br /> During these three years, he bore the burden of the family alone and had to buy medicine for his wife, making it impossible to save any money.<br /> <br /> Three hundred thousand... It was enough to crush an adult!<br /> <br /> "What should I do..."<br /> <br /> Su Yi looked around helplessly, alone in the world.<br /> <br /> It was impossible to ask the Lin family.<br /> <br /> Not due to pride.<br /> <br /> But because, in order to buy medicine for his wife, Su Yi had knelt in front of the Lin family's door multiple times, only to be turned away with a slammed door every single time.<br /> <br /> He could not borrow any money!<br /> <br /> "Maybe... I can look for Chen Mingjun!"<br /> <br /> There was a hint of resolve in Su Yi's eyes.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was one of the former shareholders of the Su family business.<br /> <br /> He was also the only wealthy person Su Yi knew where to find.<br /> <br /> However, Su Yi's father had always had conflicts with him while at the company.<br /> <br /> He might make things difficult!<br /> <br /> But he couldn't care about that anymore; as long as he could save his daughter, he would withstand any storm!<br /> <br /> …<br /> <br /> Mountain and Water Villas.<br /> <br /> This is where Chen Mingjun lived.<br /> <br /> When Su Yi arrived, he happened to catch Chen Mingjun's Maybach returning from outside.<br /> <br /> "Isn't that Young Master Su? From a distance, I almost mistook you for someone else. Wasn't your family pretty high and mighty before? What brings you to my residence today?"<br /> <br /> As the car window rolled down, Chen Mingjun smirked.<br /> <br /> Su Yi had no choice but to appear very humble, bowing as he said, "Uncle Chen, I've come today to ask for your help."<br /> <br /> "Ask me for help?" Chen Mingjun seemed amused, his teasing smile deepening: "Well, I must hear what it is about; it's not every day that Young Master Su asks a favor."<br /> <br /> "My daughter is gravely ill; I need three hundred thousand for her surgery. I hope Uncle Chen can help."<br /> <br /> Su Yi had a pleasing look and hopeful eyes.<br /> <br /> "Haha... You just want to borrow money? The thing I lack the least is money!"<br /> <br /> "I made the most out of the Su family's bankruptcy!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun laughed loudly as he stepped out of the car.<br /> <br /> Callous mockery!<br /> <br /> The classic example of reveling in the misfortune of others!<br /> <br /> Su Yi clenched his fists, and it took a good while before he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, struggling to squeeze out a smile.<br /> <br /> "Considering the many years we've known each other, I hope Uncle Chen can lend a hand."<br /> <br /> "No problem, these are trifles."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun waved his hand generously, and then his tone shifted.<br /> <br /> He said with a smile, "It's just that... my dear nephew, your current way of asking for help isn't quite right; it makes it very difficult for me."<br /> <br /> Way?!<br /> <br /> Su Yi clenched his teeth.<br /> <br /> That meant he had to kneel!<br /> <br /> Alright, for his daughter, kneel!<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Su Yi knelt heavily on the ground.<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath, and once again a servile smile appeared on his face as he spit out the flattering words that made him feel nauseous.<br /> <br /> "Uncle Chen, it's my incompetence that has made you witness such a farce."<br /> <br /> "That's more or less like it."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun scoffed and, looking down from on high, lifted his foot and placed it directly on Su Yi's head.<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Su Yi collapsed heavily onto the ground, his mouth full of dust.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun looked down from above: "My dear nephew, you look like a dog right now."<br /> <br /> "I... I am a dog, begging Uncle Chen for help... woof woof woof..."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's teeth gnashed loudly.<br /> <br /> After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, tears of humiliation flowed down, and his face buried deeply into the ground.<br /> <br /> Humiliation, unwillingness!<br /> <br /> But he had to endure it and still entertain the other party!<br /> <br /> "Hahaha..." Chen Mingjun laughed arrogantly: "Your father is an old dog, you are a pup, so isn't your wife a bitch?"<br /> <br /> Su Yi was trembling with anger, yet powerless to do anything.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun smacked his lips: "Tsk, speaking of Lin Xinran, that bitch... she was once famed for her beauty in Yancheng."<br /> <br /> "Anyway, since she can't move, let Uncle Chen train her well someday while you watch."<br /> <br /> "Who knows, maybe she might suddenly be able to move once she gets excited."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his breathing grew rapid.<br /> <br /> "Oh, is this little dog getting angry?"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun mocked him, pressing his shoe sole cruelly against Su Yi's head and spitting a wad of yellow phlegm on the ground.<br /> <br /> "Ptui! I want to see what kind of integrity this dog has, and whether you still want to save your daughter!"<br /> <br /> Daughter...<br /> <br /> Su Yi's body shook.<br /> <br /> Regardless of the extreme humiliation and unwillingness, he had no choice but to swallow his teeth into his stomach.<br /> <br /> Tears streaming down his face, he said, "The... the dog dares not be angry."<br /> <br /> "Hahaha... What an obedient dog!" Chen Mingjun laughed triumphantly, pointing to the ground: "However, a dog can even eat shit, see that spit? Lick it clean for me!"<br /> <br /> "Alright, I'll eat it! I hope that after eating, Uncle Chen will agree to lend me the money!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi gritted his teeth, holding back the nausea, and began crawling forward.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun watched him with a mocking gaze: "After that explosion, I was a little regretful that you didn't die, but now it seems that keeping you as a dog isn't so bad after all."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's movements stiffened suddenly, his face uncontrollably twitching.<br /> <br /> He looked up fiercely, fixing his stare on Chen Mingjun: "That explosion wasn't an accident, you were behind it?!"<br /> <br /> "You can't just say anything!" Chen Mingjun put on a stern face: "You know, medical experiments involve chemicals. My people just happened to purchase a small item mistakenly, who knew such a tragedy would happen. I'm very saddened by this as well!"<br /> <br /> This sentence was essentially an admission of guilt!<br /> <br /> He was the murderer who annihilated Su Yi's entire family!<br /> <br /> In an instant, Su Yi's eyes filled with bloodlust, red as a maddened beast, and a low growl emanated from his throat.<br /> <br /> "Motherfucker! Motherfucker!! I'll kill you!!!"<br /> <br /> The towering hatred from the massacre almost devoured him.<br /> <br /> He roared and struggled to rise from the ground, raising his fist and smashing it down fiercely.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun sidestepped, saying with a smile, "It seems you don't want to save your daughter, huh."<br /> <br /> "Kill you, kill you…" Su Yi was practically insane, continuously roaring, with bloodshot eyes, and only one thought in his brain.<br /> <br /> But before he could act again, a burly and towering man stepped out of the Maybach and stood in front of Chen Mingjun.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun smiled at Su Yi, "I kindly lent you money, but you repay kindness with enmity. Well, then I can only defend myself."<br /> <br /> After speaking, he patted the burly man's shoulder, "Don't kill him, just a broken leg and some internal injuries will do."<br /> <br /> "I still want to wait for him to calm down and beg me like a dog, desperately wagging his tail, asking me to save his daughter."<br /> <br /> The burly man nodded expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun got into the Maybach, carelessly throwing a baseball bat out of it.<br /> <br /> "Don't take too long."<br /> <br /> With those words, he drove the Maybach into the villa's garage.<br /> <br /> "Don't you fucking leave!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi was enraged, eyes red, chasing after him.<br /> <br /> The burly man had already picked up the baseball bat, a cold light in his eyes, swirling the bat heavily and sweeping it across.<br /> <br /> It smashed down hard on Su Yi's knees!<br /> <br /> Bang!<br /> <br /> Crack!<br /> <br /> "Ahhh!!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi collapsed entirely, letting out a piercing scream.<br /> <br /> His kneecap was completely shattered!<br /> <br /> The burly man coldly approached, raising the baseball bat and fiercely thrusting it downwards into Su Yi's chest.<br /> <br /> Spurt!<br /> <br /> A mouthful of blood sprayed out.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face turned pale in an instant, his chest caving in deeply.<br /> <br /> The burly man grabbed his hair, dragged him brutally to the roadside trash can nearby, and stuffed him in roughly.<br /> <br /> After completing this, he dusted off his hands and walked away directly.<br /> <br /> Under the severe pain, Su Yi had already passed out.<br /> <br /> Blood was still gushing from his mouth.<br /> <br /> Soaking through his clothes.<br /> <br /> Staining a dragon-shaped jade pendant.<br /> <br /> This was a Su family heirloom jade pendant, also the only relic left to Su Yi by his father.<br /> <br /> Hum…<br /> <br /> The jade pendant emitted a faint, gentle glow, completely enveloping Su Yi within it.<br /> <br /> Vaguely, as if there were ethereal celestial sounds coming from the horizon.<br /> <br /> "I am the true martial medical ancestor of the Su family."<br /> <br /> "Any descendant of the Su family who inherits my legacy, remember that a physician should, at heart, be benevolent."<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Su Yi had a dream.<br /> <br /> In the dream, there was an elder with the appearance of a young boy and white hair, exuding an aura of immortal charm, performing medical treatments.<br /> <br /> From observation, listening, and questioning to applying acupuncture and practicing alchemy…<br /> <br /> All sorts of mystical abilities, seemingly like magical powers, manifested in the hands of the elder.<br /> <br /> While performing these acts, he also explained them.<br /> <br /> Su Yi listened and learned from the perspective of a bystander.<br /> <br /> The more the elder explained, the more ethereal his body became, until at last, it was nearly transparent.<br /> <br /> Just as his figure was about to completely vanish.<br /> <br /> The elder suddenly turned around, revealing a smile, and pointed at Su Yi's forehead.<br /> <br /> Hum…<br /> <br /> A surge of energy flooded his entire body, and Su Yi felt a warm sensation all over.<br /> <br /> Countless pieces of information rushed into his mind.<br /> <br /> Gradually…<br /> <br /> Su Yi woke up, his consciousness returning to reality in an instant.<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao!"<br /> <br /> He jolted, his heart tied to his daughter, he cried out loud, instinctively climbing out from the trash can.<br /> <br /> Just as he stood on the ground, he was stunned!<br /> <br /> "My legs…"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.<br /> <br /> The events of the dream replayed over and over in his mind.<br /> <br /> Could it be, it was all real?<br /> <br /> The True Martial Medical Ancestor of the Su family's legacy?!<br /> <br /> Gulp!<br /> <br /> Su Yi swallowed hard.<br /> <br /> He tried to feel his body.<br /> <br /> The injuries he had sustained yesterday were all healed!<br /> <br /> And his physical condition had improved overall!<br /> <br /> This was truly a miracle!<br /> <br /> Su Yi was overwhelmingly excited.<br /> <br /> "This is great, with this medical knowledge, I can save my daughter without surgery!"<br /> <br /> "And there's... Chen Mingjun!"<br /> <br /> Remembering the events of the previous night, the extinction of his family, a chill flashed in Su Yi's eyes.<br /> <br /> A blood debt must be paid in blood!<br /> <br /> But the immediate priority was to get to the hospital to save his daughter!<br /> <br /> Thinking of his daughter's illness, the cure naturally came to mind.<br /> <br /> He couldn't afford to delay and immediately set out for the hospital.<br /> <br /> On the way, he also bought a set of silver needles.<br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, he headed straight to his daughter's ward.<br /> <br /> As he reached the corridor, he saw a group of doctors gathered at the door, discussing something with animated concern.<br /> <br /> "It's such a pity, she's so young."<br /> <br /> "Yes, at such a tender age, she should be enjoying a happy childhood… Sigh!"<br /> <br /> Boom!<br /> <br /> It was like a bolt from the blue.<br /> <br /> Su Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely distraught.<br /> <br /> Could it be… no, impossible!<br /> <br /> If that were true, what use was his medical knowledge?!<br /> <br /> "Make way, all of you make way!!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi rushed forward like a madman, forcibly pushing the doctors aside at the door.<br /> <br /> No sooner had he entered than he bumped into the doctor from yesterday.<br /> <br /> Su Yi grabbed the doctor's wrist and roared, "You said my daughter could hold on for three days, what's the situation now?!"<br /> <br /> "I… did my best."<br /> <br /> The doctor's face was full of guilt, and his voice was low.<br /> <br /> In the hospital, these three words were almost equivalent to announcing someone's death.<br /> <br /> Su Yi completely broke down, shaking the doctor's shoulders nonstop, tears streaming down his face. "What do you mean by 'did my best'?!"<br /> <br /> "What does 'did my best' mean?!!"<br /> <br /> "You clearly said three days, how come it's not even one day and she's gone?!!"<br /> <br /> The doctor didn't speak, but tears were also present in his eyes.<br /> <br /> The other doctors all tried to explain and console him.<br /> <br /> "This family member, Doctor Song truly did everything he could, he even took out his own retirement funds to try to pay for your daughter's surgery, but it's too late."<br /> <br /> "Yes, he said he'd promised you to watch over your daughter for three days, but he failed to do so. He cried all night long yesterday."<br /> <br /> "We called you, but no one answered."<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face was ash-gray, and he leaned against the wall, his body lacking the strength to stand.<br /> <br /> At that moment, it was as if all his vitality had been sapped away.<br /> <br /> Doctor Song's eyes were brimming with tears, "Don't try to comfort me, I know Mr. Su feels uneasy... It's all my fault..."<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> As he spoke, he fiercely slapped his own face.<br /> <br /> Just then, an angry reprimand came from down the corridor, "What are you all doing crowding around here?!"<br /> <br /> "Don't you know that the dean and Professor Li are coming soon?"<br /> <br /> "I warn you, anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical moment, I will not be lenient!"<br /> <br /> A forty-something-year-old middle-aged man with a gloomy expression on his face walked over.<br /> <br /> The badge on his chest read Director of Neurology.<br /> <br /> Seeing him approach, the doctors, displaying frightened expressions, turned and left one after another.<br /> <br /> Doctor Song did not leave.<br /> <br /> He looked at Su Yi, full of guilt, "Mr. Su, if you feel upset, you can beat me to vent your anger. That way, I might feel a bit better too."<br /> <br /> Su Yi, looking as if his soul had departed his body, shook his head.<br /> <br /> The director said with displeasure, "Song Renxin, did you not hear what I said? Hurry back to your position!"<br /> <br /> The doctor called Song Renxin replied in a deep voice, "Director Liu, the little girl in this ward is also my patient."<br /> <br /> Director Liu frowned and scolded, "Nonsense! The little girl's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, her entire central nervous system is paralyzed!"<br /> <br /> "She is hanging on by a single breath right now, even surgery won't save her!"<br /> <br /> "Your insistence on staying beside a dying person is irresponsible to the other patients!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin was unable to refute.<br /> <br /> But Su Yi trembled all over, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.<br /> <br /> His daughter was still clinging to a breath!<br /> <br /> That was enough!<br /> <br /> With the medical knowledge in his mind, he could definitely save her!<br /> <br /> Without any hesitation, Su Yi turned and entered the ward.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face changed, "Who is he?"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin replied gravely, "He's the patient's father."<br /> <br /> Director Liu was displeased, but he said nothing and just nodded, "Good, let him see his daughter for the last time."<br /> <br /> "My daughter is not dead!"<br /> <br /> Inside the ward, Su Yi shouted.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face darkened, "Family member, I know she's not dead yet, but it's now beyond hope."<br /> <br /> "Originally, if you hadn't come, once she took her last breath, our hospital would have sent her straight to the morgue."<br /> <br /> "Now, you might as well take your daughter home and prepare for her funeral!"<br /> <br /> Inside the ward, Su Yi didn't speak.<br /> <br /> He took a deep breath, adjusting himself to the best state, took out his package of silver needles, and extracted one.<br /> <br /> His first time treating a patient, especially his daughter.<br /> <br /> Su Yi was determined to be fully focused, not allowing himself any mistakes!<br /> <br /> And he would not allow external disturbances!<br /> <br /> Outside the ward, Song Renxin bit his lip and said, "Director Liu, we are a hospital, we must prioritize compassion. Until the very last moment, unless voluntary by the family, we cannot let the family take the patient away!"<br /> <br /> "Why can't we? Right now, the relatives of patients are like ticking time bombs. Who knows when they'll cause medical disturbances? Do we really have to wait for the dean and Professor Li to witness such a commotion?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu was extremely cold, as if human life was no different from that of an ant.<br /> <br /> He waited for a moment, but seeing that Su Yi did not come out with his daughter, his brows furrowed all the more.<br /> <br /> "What the hell are you doing?"<br /> <br /> Director Liu, growing impatient, also walked into the ward.<br /> <br /> Just as he entered, he saw Su Yi sitting beside the bed with a serious expression, a long, thin silver needle pinched between his fingers.<br /> <br /> Instantly, his expression changed dramatically!<br /> <br /> "What the fuck are you doing?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu bellowed, striding forward and grabbing Su Yi's wrist, his eyes full of rage.<br /> <br /> At the same time, Su Yi also adjusted himself to the optimum state.<br /> <br /> Now was the moment!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's gaze flashed, his wrist unmoved, he simply flicked his finger.<br /> <br /> Whoosh!<br /> <br /> The silver needle shot out, piercing his daughter's brow with utmost precision.<br /> <br /> "Empty-air acupuncture?!!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin, hearing the sound and coming in, just caught sight of this scene, his pupils shrank, and he was utterly shocked.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> "You wanna die, do it alone, don't drag me into it!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu screamed, his face turning pale with fright.<br /> <br /> He didn't understand acupuncture performed in midair, but he knew the stakes of this inspection were high!<br /> <br /> If anything untoward happened in his department...<br /> <br /> he could kiss his director's position goodbye!<br /> <br /> "Get your daughter and get the hell out of here. If you want treatment, go elsewhere, but don't cause trouble in our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu yelled, trying to pull Su Yi away forcefully.<br /> <br /> But Su Yi was no longer the man he used to be, his body immovable, his gaze constantly fixed on his daughter's condition.<br /> <br /> With his free hand, he once again picked up a silver needle.<br /> <br /> Director Liu gnashed his teeth in anger, "Are you fucking deaf?!"<br /> <br /> "I'm warning you, your daughter is about to die!"<br /> <br /> "Go ahead and prepare for your daughter's funeral, stop struggling!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin shouted sternly, "Director Liu, as long as the patient has a breath left, we can't give up!"<br /> <br /> "Besides, Mr. Su is skilled in midair acupuncture, why not let him try?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned cold, "Song Renxin, are you the director or am I?"<br /> <br /> "Also, why have I never heard of midair acupuncture?"<br /> <br /> "Don't fucking make up terms to fool me!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin was so angry he silently gritted his teeth.<br /> <br /> You're really a tyrant, aren't you?<br /> <br /> Midair acupuncture is one of the highest attainments in traditional Chinese medicine.<br /> <br /> In the whole country, there probably aren't more than twenty who can do it effectively.<br /> <br /> And each one is a national treasure of a doctor!<br /> <br /> But... an official rank higher crushes the person below!<br /> <br /> Despite his title as director, Song Renxin truly had no way to deal with him.<br /> <br /> At that moment, a nurse rushed in: "Director Liu, the Hospital President and Professor Li have arrived."<br /> <br /> "They've already visited the internal medicine and surgery departments; next up is our neurology department."<br /> <br /> What?!<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned pale again.<br /> <br /> He couldn't delay any longer.<br /> <br /> He had to get rid of them as quickly as possible!<br /> <br /> Even if it took extreme measures, it would be worth it!<br /> <br /> As long as he got through this inspection smoothly, he could use his position to suppress any issues that arose afterward.<br /> <br /> "Fine, I got it."<br /> <br /> Director Liu sent the nurse away, his expression darkening as he glanced at Su Yi and gritted his teeth.<br /> <br /> "You won't leave, is that it? Then don't blame me for throwing your daughter out!"<br /> <br /> In his desperation to keep his position, Director Liu let go of Su Yi's wrist and moved to pick up Su Xiaoxiao.<br /> <br /> "You fucking stop right there!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's expression hardened, and before he could act, Song Renxin let out a roar of rage.<br /> <br /> The senior doctor, over sixty years old, rushed forward, grabbing Director Liu from behind.<br /> <br /> He yelled at Su Yi, "Mr. Su, go ahead with the acupuncture, I'll stop him!"<br /> <br /> "Thank you!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded appreciatively, quickly focusing his mind, his hand flicking out the silver needle again.<br /> <br /> He concentrated intently, his hands fluttering like butterflies, continuously drawing out needles and piercing the air to hit the acupuncture points on his daughter.<br /> <br /> Fluid and graceful, achieving harmony in a single breath of work!<br /> <br /> Though it was his first time administering the needles in such a way, it appeared as if he had practiced countless times.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face twisted in ugly frustration, struggling ceaselessly: "Song Renxin, are you fucking rebelling?!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin cursed back, "You bastard! You bastard!! You bastard!!!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu was taken aback by the rebuke.<br /> <br /> Right then, a furious shout came from outside the door: "What the hell is going on here?!"<br /> <br /> "We can hear the lot of you cursing from the hallway, what kind of behavior is this?!"<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Director Liu shivered and dared not struggle anymore.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin also released him without delay, hastily turning his attention to Su Yi.<br /> <br /> "Mr. Su, is everything going smoothly?"<br /> <br /> "Hmm."<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded without saying much else.<br /> <br /> The treatment was already underway, and he couldn't afford any distractions that might cause complications.<br /> <br /> He continued his actions without pause, administering more midair acupuncture.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, two men, both over sixty, entered from outside.<br /> <br /> It was the Hospital President and Professor Li.<br /> <br /> As they entered, ready to scold, their eyes caught sight of Su Yi's movements.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, they both trembled.<br /> <br /> "Is this… needle throwing?!"<br /> <br /> The director was utterly shocked, unable to believe his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at Professor Li beside him.<br /> <br /> Professor Li was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, and could be regarded as one of the medical community's authoritative figures.<br /> <br /> He stared intently at Su Yi and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, it is needle throwing!"<br /> <br /> "However… these movements as smooth as flowing clouds and water, the effortless flick of the wrist, I have never seen before!"<br /> <br /> "This is definitely a Grandmaster of medicine!"<br /> <br /> How could this be?!<br /> <br /> One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.<br /> <br /> The whole room was in an uproar.<br /> <br /> No one expected Professor Li's evaluation of Su Yi to be so high!<br /> <br /> A Grandmaster of medicine!<br /> <br /> Throughout the entire country, those who could bear this title were no more than a handful!<br /> <br /> Even Professor Li himself fell just short of the mark!<br /> <br /> Director Liu couldn't help but tremble, his forehead bead with cold sweat as it soaked through his clothes.<br /> <br /> Seeing this, Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, why are you so nervous?"<br /> <br /> "I... I, why would I be nervous?"<br /> <br /> Director Liu argued stiffly, but his words lacked conviction.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin feigned curiosity, "Wasn't it you just now who wanted to stop Mister Su, this Grandmaster of medicine, from administering the needle to save someone?"<br /> <br /> He emphasized the word "Grandmaster" particularly heavily.<br /> <br /> "You you… You're talking nonsense!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu argued vehemently, his face flushed and his neck thickening.<br /> <br /> Their exchange naturally didn't escape the ears of the director and Professor Li.<br /> <br /> "Right, I haven't asked yet, what exactly happened just now?"<br /> <br /> The director said with a grim expression.<br /> <br /> In front of a Grandmaster of medicine, people in his hospital actually came to blows.<br /> <br /> This was truly a disgrace!<br /> <br /> Professor Li looked at Director Liu, his brows deeply furrowed: "I heard... you wanted to stop this Grandmaster from saving a life?"<br /> <br /> His words were not harsh, but they made Director Liu sweat profusely, his expression one of panic.<br /> <br /> This man was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, whose word alone could determine the life or death of his directorship.<br /> <br /> "It was… it was like this…"<br /> <br /> "Right, it was this little girl patient, her cerebral nerve tumor had worsened to the point where even surgery couldn't save her."<br /> <br /> "But this patient's family member insisted on administering the needle himself. He's not a doctor, so of course I couldn't let him do it."<br /> <br /> Director Liu's tone was frantic, but at least it seemed he had found a somewhat decent excuse.<br /> <br /> He sighed in relief as if a great burden had been lifted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, we really shouldn't lie with our eyes wide open."<br /> <br /> "Since you won't tell the truth, then I'll just have to lay it all out."<br /> <br /> Director Liu shuddered all over, shouting out loud to interrupt, "Song Renxin, you're just trying to slander me maliciously!"<br /> <br /> "Fine, you say I am slandering you, so I won't speak anymore. However, don't forget, Mister Su is still in the ward!"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin sneered coldly and truly said nothing more.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's heart trembled, uneasy and unsettled, casting glances at Su Yi from time to time.<br /> <br /> He wondered how he was going to deal with what was to come.<br /> <br /> The director and Professor Li looked at each other and nodded in agreement.<br /> <br /> Well then, they would delve into this matter after the treatment was finished.<br /> <br /> Once again, they turned their attention to Su Yi.<br /> <br /> The director let out a sigh, "It's a pity, this Grandmaster of medicine does not belong to our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Professor Li chuckled, "True talents are hidden among the common folk, the greatest figures are the most unassuming. Perhaps Mister Su comes from an old master."<br /> <br /> At this moment, the treatment had reached its most critical stage.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's hands moved faster and faster.<br /> <br /> In the end, they blurred into afterimages!<br /> <br /> One needle after another was thrown precisely, and just as many were pulled out, to be inserted into other acupoints.<br /> <br /> Dazzling to behold, impossible to follow closely.<br /> <br /> Faintly, there was a mysterious significance contained within.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin watched Su Yi intently, as if he had realized something, yet he always lacked that final bit.<br /> <br /> The director felt the same way.<br /> <br /> As for Professor Li, with a deeper understanding of medicine, he could appreciate the subtleties even more, his eyes growing increasingly shocked.<br /> <br /> Only Director Liu was anxious and restless, completely at a loss.<br /> <br /> Finally!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's last needle fell!<br /> <br /> The astonishment in Professor Li's eyes had reached an indescribable extreme; he couldn't help but exclaim aloud.<br /> <br /> "One needle decides life and death!"<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> A single needle decides life and death!<br /> <br /> Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.<br /> <br /> From these five words alone, one could sense the dominance they contained!<br /> <br /> The dean hurriedly asked, "Old Li, what is 'a single needle decides life and death'?"<br /> <br /> Song Renxin also looked at Professor Li with a puzzled expression.<br /> <br /> Professor Li spoke solemnly, "I once saw a type of acupuncture technique in an ancient text, which claimed to 'revive the dead and mend bones.'<br /> <br /> "That acupuncture technique is called 'deciding life and death'!"<br /> <br /> "I observed that Mr. Su's technique just now is exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient text."<br /> <br /> "And the final needle in 'deciding life and death' is called 'a single needle decides life and death'!"<br /> <br /> "Life and death are not determined by the King of Hell, not by the judge, but by the person who administers the needle!"<br /> <br /> Boom!<br /> <br /> Thunder from a clear sky!<br /> <br /> Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, their minds buzzing.<br /> <br /> Could there really be such a miraculous acupuncture technique in this world?<br /> <br /> If there is...<br /> <br /> Would that still be considered medical skill?<br /> <br /> It's practically magic!<br /> <br /> Professor Li took in their expressions and sighed, "I have only come across descriptions of 'deciding life and death' in the ancient texts."<br /> <br /> "As for whether this medical technique truly exists, I cannot give you an answer."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin's gaze flickered.<br /> <br /> For some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in Su Yi.<br /> <br /> He said in a deep voice, "Ms. Su's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, and with the current level of medical science, it is impossible to cure her."<br /> <br /> "If... she is cured this time, would it be evidence of this acupuncture technique?"<br /> <br /> The dean said sternly, "If her condition is truly as you described, and if Mr. Su can cure her, then of course it will be proven!"<br /> <br /> Professor Li didn't speak, but his eyes were ablaze as he watched Su Yi.<br /> <br /> If given the chance...<br /> <br /> He really wanted to follow Su Yi and properly learn from him.<br /> <br /> Even if 'deciding life and death' were false, the skill of performing acupuncture in midair was genuinely real.<br /> <br /> Sigh...<br /> <br /> At that moment, Su Yi also took a long breath.<br /> <br /> Sweat beads covered his forehead.<br /> <br /> After all, it was his first time treating someone, and the patient was his daughter; it was inevitably taxing and nerve-wracking.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, everything went smoothly.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin asked with concern, "Mr. Su, how is it now?"<br /> <br /> "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Song, she is cured now,"<br /> <br /> Su Yi said with a smile.<br /> <br /> Just as these words fell,<br /> <br /> On the sickbed, Su Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyelids.<br /> <br /> Her dark eyes were briefly vacant, then turned into surprise.<br /> <br /> "Daddy, I can see now!"<br /> <br /> She rubbed her eyes numerous times, her tender voice bursting with joy.<br /> <br /> Those around who witnessed this scene were utterly shocked.<br /> <br /> "A miracle, this is completely a miracle!"<br /> <br /> "Truly 'a single needle decides life and death,' only this legendary method could have such an immediate effect!"<br /> <br /> "To think that in my lifetime, I'd actually witness a miracle that would go down in medical history!"<br /> <br /> Amazement and admiration were endless.<br /> <br /> Aside from Director Liu, everyone was extremely excited.<br /> <br /> But the most excited was Su Yi.<br /> <br /> He picked up his daughter from the sickbed, feeling her small body in his arms, and couldn't help but cry tears of joy, unable to utter a word.<br /> <br /> His daughter lifted her small face, wiping his cheeks with her tiny hands, looking somewhat guilty, "Daddy, don't cry... Did it cost a lot of money to treat Xiao Xiao?"<br /> <br /> "It's all Xiao Xiao's fault, I'm so stupid, I couldn't bear the pain after only three days."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Yi's heart ached, and tears streamed from his eyes.<br /> <br /> Due to family circumstances, his daughter had always been sensible, so sensible that it was heartbreaking!<br /> <br /> Su Yi held her tighter, his voice choked with emotion, "Daddy is just so happy, it's not Xiao Xiao's fault, it's Daddy who hasn't done well."<br /> <br /> "Daddy swears, I will definitely give you and Mommy a good life in the future!"<br /> <br /> This promise was not just an emotional vow, but a commitment he intended to keep for life!<br /> <br /> "Mm, Xiao Xiao believes in Daddy!"<br /> <br /> His daughter nodded firmly, her little face resolute.<br /> <br /> This scene moved everyone in the ward as well.<br /> <br /> Su Yi wiped away his tears and, holding his daughter, turned to Song Renxin, "Xiao Xiao, this is Dr. Song; you should call him Grandpa. It's all thanks to his help that you were cured, so be sure to thank Grandpa Song."<br /> <br /> Su Xiaoxiao said in her clear voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Song."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin's heart nearly melted, responding repeatedly, "Eh, such a good, sensible child.<br /> <br /> "But you must not thank me; it was your daddy who cured you."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes brimmed with pride, and she stood taller.<br /> <br /> Daddy is really amazing!<br /> <br /> Su Yi sincerely said, "Dr. Song, it was all because of you that I had the chance to save my daughter; this thanks, you fully deserve."<br /> <br /> "If it weren't for you..."<br /> <br /> As he spoke, he looked towards Director Liu, a cold light in his eyes, "This director who wields great authority would probably have thrown my daughter out!"<br /> <br /> What?!<br /> <br /> Director Liu was going to throw out a patient?!!<br /> <br /> The dean and Professor Li were both shaken, turning their heads toward Director Liu with a fiery gaze.<br /> <br /> "Liu, explain yourself right now!!"<br /> <br /> "I... I... I didn't."<br /> <br /> Director Liu sweated profusely, stammering.<br /> <br /> Song Renxin saw this and immediately sneered, "You didn't say anything just now and wouldn't let me speak, but now that Mr. Su has said it himself, you still won't admit it!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu trembled all over, restless and uneasy.<br /> <br /> He could admit to anything else, but this matter was the only one he couldn't!<br /> <br /> Ignoring the lives of patients is a grave taboo in a hospital!<br /> <br /> Especially in front of the dean and Professor Li!<br /> <br /> Once he admitted it, he would be finished!<br /> <br /> "You, you, you... you're talking nonsense! I never thought about throwing the patient out, you're just spewing slander!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face was ablaze with fury, roaring repeatedly.<br /> <br /> To those unaware, it would seem as though he suffered a great injustice.<br /> <br /> But everyone present had ample experience and could see that he was blustering to cover his fragility, utterly lacking in confidence.<br /> <br /> The dean and Professor Li's faces were somber, as if they were about to drip water.<br /> <br /> They could never have imagined that there were such twists and turns involved!<br /> <br /> Especially the dean, who trembled with rage.<br /> <br /> This incident occurred in his hospital, an utter smear on his professional record!<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> He strode forward and delivered a powerful slap, bellowing angrily.<br /> <br /> "You dare to argue?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu staggered, his half of his face swelling up.<br /> <br /> But he dared not admit it, repeatedly saying, "I'm not arguing, Dean, you have a discerning eye, I really didn't..."<br /> <br /> Slap!<br /> <br /> Another harsh slap!<br /> <br /> This time, it was Professor Li who struck.<br /> <br /> With clenched teeth, he said, "Even now, you refuse to repent. Then explain to us, when we came in, Dr. Song was holding you, how do you explain that?!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face turned deathly white, and he collapsed onto the floor.<br /> <br /> Indeed, how could he explain?<br /> <br /> There was no explanation!<br /> <br /> The dean turned to Su Yi, respectfully bowed, "Mr. Su, our hospital has nurtured such a scum, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"<br /> <br /> "This matter is unrelated to the hospital, but he must pay the price for what he has done!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's face was cold.<br /> <br /> "Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding."<br /> <br /> The dean sincerely expressed his gratitude, then turned to stare at Director Liu and said indifferently, "From now on, you are no longer part of our hospital!"<br /> <br /> Director Liu's face was ashen, begging for mercy, "Dean, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"<br /> <br /> The dean remained unmoved.<br /> <br /> Professor Li added coldly, "As the honorary dean of the Medical College, I declare that from now on, you are blacklisted in the medical industry. If any hospital or clinic dares to employ you, I will shut it down directly!"<br /> <br /> That statement had an even greater impact!<br /> <br /> Thump.<br /> <br /> Director Liu's legs gave out, and he kneeled on the ground, crying profusely, repeatedly kowtowing.<br /> <br /> "Professor Li, I was wrong, I really know my mistake."<br /> <br /> "I am willing to leave the hospital, please don't ban me from the entire industry!"<br /> <br /> "There should always be a way out for a person."<br /> <br /> Both elderly men remained silent with stern faces.<br /> <br /> After pondering for a moment, Su Yi said indifferently, "Dean, Professor, I think that Dr. Song is qualified for the position of director."<br /> <br /> "Right, right, I think so too!" the dean immediately nodded in agreement: "Dr. Song has a compassionate heart, and he's also a senior member of our hospital, he is definitely qualified."<br /> <br /> Professor Li also nodded in agreement: "With the director position vacant, Dr. Song is indeed the perfect choice."<br /> <br /> Song Renxin felt a tremor in his body, his whole person became excited.<br /> <br /> Director Liu was like a petrified chicken.<br /> <br /> They had chosen his replacement right in front of him.<br /> <br /> Now he was truly finished.<br /> <br /> There was no turning back!<br /> <br /> And all of this was brought upon himself!<br /> <br /> Su Yi didn't even glance at him as he said to the others, "Dr. Song, Dean, Professor, my daughter is better now, and I will take my leave. I'll come back another day to repay Dr. Song the money he advanced. I hope I won't still see certain disagreeable person then."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Su, rest assured, I will have security throw him out immediately!"<br /> <br /> The dean said repeatedly.<br /> <br /> He immediately went to the door and called several security guards who dragged away the ashen-faced Director Liu.<br /> <br /> And Su Yi also left.<br /> <br /> In his arms, his daughter looked thrilled, "Daddy, you're so amazing, the doctors all listen to you!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi said proudly, "That's right, haven't you seen whose daughter you are?"<br /> <br /> His daughter proudly exclaimed, "My daddy is the best!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi ruffled her little head, "When we get home, daddy can also cure mommy."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, a bright light burst forth in his daughter's eyes, "Really? Mommy can be cured too?"<br /> <br /> "Yes!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi nodded emphatically, his tone affirmative.<br /> <br /> "That's great, mommy can be cured too!"<br /> <br /> Overjoyed, his daughter leaned on Su Yi's shoulder, her arms wide open in excitement, as if she wanted the entire world to know.<br /> <br /> A tender warmth filled Su Yi's heart.<br /> <br /> Daughter, wife, we will definitely have a happy and perfect family!<br /> <br /> When Su Yi arrived back at the apartment complex, the tenderness in his heart turned icy in an instant.<br /> <br /> He saw a Maybach at the entrance of the complex.<br /> <br /> It was Chen Mingjun's car!<br /> <br /> This low-grade community couldn't possibly have anything to do with Chen Mingjun.<br /> <br /> His being here could only have one purpose—<br /> <br /> Lin Xinran!<br /> <br /> "Damn it! Chen Mingjun, you beast!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's eyes were filled with rage, he cursed under his breath, and rushed towards his home at the fastest speed.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Seeing the bodyguard standing at the entrance of the building, Su Yi's mind exploded with a "bang".<br /> <br /> Shit! These people were ultimately targeting Lin Xinran!<br /> <br /> In his urgency, Su Yi still decided to leave his daughter at his friend's house downstairs first.<br /> <br /> He knocked on the door of his friend's house and, under Ye Yueluo's puzzled gaze, handed his daughter over to her.<br /> <br /> There was no time for lengthy explanations. Su Yi instructed tersely, "It's urgent, please watch Xiao Xiao for me, don't come out."<br /> <br /> "Xiao Xiao, listen to your sister Yueluo. Daddy will be back soon."<br /> <br /> After saying these words, Su Yi dashed off as fast as he could.<br /> <br /> Just as he entered the hallway, two bodyguards leaned to the side, blocking the entrance.<br /> <br /> "Chen Family business, outsiders step back."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Su Yi's eyes also turned cold.<br /> <br /> "Chen Family? It's your Chen Family people I'm here to beat!"<br /> <br /> The bodyguard was furious. Who dared to disregard the Chen Family? Take them down first!<br /> <br /> Several bodyguards charged straight at him.<br /> <br /> Su Yi let out a cold laugh.<br /> <br /> Facing the hands trying to grab him, he neither dodged nor avoided, meeting them with a casual hand.<br /> <br /> At the moment their hands touched, Su Yi's hand twisted bizarrely, sliding past the bodyguard's wrist.<br /> <br /> With a gentle twist at the base of the palm!<br /> <br /> A "crack" was heard, and the bodyguard, propelled by inertia, fell to the ground.<br /> <br /> The bodyguard who took the fall tried to get up, only to start rolling on the ground in pain.<br /> <br /> That hand was clearly broken! The entire wrist was grotesquely bent backwards.<br /> <br /> The remaining bodyguard couldn't stop his momentum and was deftly dodged by Su Yi.<br /> <br /> A casual tap on the arm, a pull and a snap, he too was rolling on the ground.<br /> <br /> Any further attackers were easily handled with a few light strokes, all laid out clean and neat.<br /> <br /> Having dealt with the underlings, Su Yi rushed forward.<br /> <br /> Picking locks and sliding doors open in one smooth motion.<br /> <br /> Upon entering, even with his strong composure, Su Yi's eyes instantly filled with blood.<br /> <br /> The room had already been ravaged by these jackals, debris scattered and broken everywhere.<br /> <br /> In the center of the living room, a rope ran through someone's hands, hanging what turned out to be Lin Xinran who had been dragged out of bed!<br /> <br /> Lin Xinran's clothes were half-undone, while Chen Mingjun was touching her long jade legs with a sleazy expression on his face!<br /> <br /> "True to be counted as one of the past beauties of Yancheng, but even now being paralyzed, there is a different kind of pleasure in playing with her!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi roared in anger, wishing he could tear Chen Mingjun to pieces on the spot!<br /> <br /> "Beast!!!"<br /> <br /> Startled by the noise, Chen Mingjun jumped and quickly turned around.<br /> <br /> Seeing Su Yi's fierce face, Chen Mingjun clearly panicked.<br /> <br /> "You? How did you get up here? Weren't your legs broken??" Chen Mingjun asked in disbelief.<br /> <br /> He had struck with killing intent, breaking bones, how could he walk again?!<br /> <br /> Even with their newly developed miracle drug, one would need to lie down for at least a month; how could a lively Su Yi suddenly appear?<br /> <br /> It was unbelievable!<br /> <br /> "Yeah, but grandpa here is tough, I can take it."<br /> <br /> Words came from Su Yi's teeth, one by one, filled with rage.<br /> <br /> Suppressing the fury in his heart, Su Yi spoke while moving forward.<br /> <br /> With a false bravado, Chen Mingjun warned, "I'm warning you, don't come any closer, my men are just downstairs!""<br /> <br /> Su Yi replied coldly, "Heh heh heh, today you won't be able to call anyone, let's settle both new and old scores."<br /> <br /> Watching such a furiously mad Su Yi, Chen Mingjun finally panicked, cursing inwardly, "These useless fools! Can't even stop one person!"<br /> <br /> But his body moved bit by bit towards the window ledge; as long as he had a chance to call out, he refused to believe a cripple could turn things upside down!<br /> <br /> In Chen Mingjun's territory, no one had been able to touch him!<br /> <br /> Realizing this, Chen Mingjun became arrogant again.<br /> <br /> "Bodyguards, come up! Dammit, I have to kill him today!"<br /> <br /> A moment of silence...<br /> <br /> "Bodyguards! Bodyguards!! Dammit, where are they?"<br /> <br /> Seeing no response, Chen Mingjun leaned out of the window to look.<br /> <br /> It was bad enough to look, but the men lay sprawled on the ground in disarray!<br /> <br /> None able to stand up!<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun panicked in an instant.<br /> <br /> "How is this possible!!!"<br /> <br /> Turning back to see Su Yi, he couldn't help but feel a chill and his body went limp.<br /> <br /> How had Su Yi, who not long ago had broken legs and was barely breathing, suddenly become so fierce?!<br /> <br /> It was too weird!<br /> <br /> At this moment, Chen Mingjun was both shocked and scared, scrambling to get beside Lin Xinran.<br /> <br /> "Don't come any closer, I have your wife!"<br /> <br /> Things had been okay until this was mentioned.<br /> <br /> Su Yi instantly flew into a rage!<br /> <br /> In that instant, a streak of black glimmer ripped through the air!<br /> <br /> It was a tiny silver needle!<br /> <br /> Whoosh!<br /> <br /> It slipped into Chen Mingjun's knuckle with exquisite precision.<br /> <br /> In an instant, Chen Mingjun froze in place, a piercing pain shooting from the tip of his finger into his brain.<br /> <br /> "Ahh—"<br /> <br /> Accompanied by a scream, Chen Mingjun fell to the ground and rolled in agony.<br /> <br /> He tried to pull out the needle, but the area around the puncture felt ablaze.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun screamed in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror as he looked at Su Yi.<br /> <br /> Su Yi didn't bother watching Chen Mingjun whimper like a beaten dog on the ground; with a silver needle, he snapped the hemp rope tied around Lin Xinran's hands.<br /> <br /> He lifted Lin Xinran down, hooked a broken wheelchair out from the mess on the ground with the tip of his foot, and gently placed Lin Xinran on it.<br /> <br /> Su Yi's slender fingers rested on Lin Xinran's wrist, carefully feeling for her pulse.<br /> <br /> Thankfully, she wasn't seriously harmed! Su Yi finally let out a breath of relief.<br /> <br /> When he looked back at Chen Mingjun, his eyes turned fiercely sharp.<br /> <br /> "You, don't come closer!" Chen Mingjun struggled to his feet, enduring the severe pain. He couldn't hide the fear in his eyes, and he took two steps back abruptly.<br /> <br /> "I'm warning you, this is a society governed by laws! Don't you dare do anything rash, I've called the police!"<br /> <br /> Su Yi's chilly gaze swept over Chen Mingjun's face, and he took a deep breath.<br /> <br /> In the past, he had lacked the ability, but now, he had awakened his family's legacy.<br /> <br /> It was time to strike back!<br /> <br /> Su Yi's hands flipped, and his eerie finger techniques touched Chen Mingjun's body, paralyzing him immediately.<br /> <br /> "Slap—"<br /> <br /> A crisp slap landed on Chen Mingjun's cheek, inflaming half of his face instantly.<br /> <br /> "You... You dare to hit me!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was shocked and furious. Since when did the powerless Su Yi have so many tricks up his sleeve?!<br /> <br /> Moreover, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!<br /> <br /> But he couldn't afford to think more. Seeing Su Yi's hand coming towards him, Chen Mingjun's pupils constricted.<br /> <br /> "You, you can't do this! I can give you money!! Spare me! I'll pay for your wife and daughter's treatments!!"<br /> <br /> At the mention of his wife and daughter, Su Yi's face turned colder.<br /> <br /> Su Yi pinched Chen Mingjun's wrist and started twisting it inch by inch.<br /> <br /> As the sound of bones cracking "crack crack" filled the air, Chen Mingjun's whole body started shaking.<br /> <br /> "Ahhhh—"<br /> <br /> Heart-wrenching screams echoed in the hallway for a long time.<br /> <br /> He looked at Su Yi in terror, his eyeballs nearly bursting from their sockets!<br /> <br /> "No! Noooooo—"<br /> <br /> "This needle is to make sure you can bear it."<br /> <br /> With a cold smile, Su Yi flicked his hand, and a silver needle punctured the nerve in Chen Mingjun's scapula.<br /> <br /> More prolonged screams followed.<br /> <br /> The immense pain, mixed with fear, distorted Chen Mingjun's face, but because it hit a specific nerve, he couldn't faint from the pain!<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's hand was twisted, forced into an eerie angle!<br /> <br /> "You've been committing crimes for so long; it's time you paid a price!"<br /> <br /> "What, what are you going to do to me!"<br /> <br /> Looking coldly at the grotesque but lucid Chen Mingjun, Su Yi took out another needle.<br /> <br /> "No! Please, spare me!! I won't dare do it again! I'll give back all the shares, please, no!"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's hair stood on end, his voice altered.<br /> <br /> "Please, just let me go, and I'll do anything you ask, whatever you want, I can give it to you, please!"<br /> <br /> "You'll do anything? What you will have to do isn't that much."<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun saw a glimmer of hope and said tremblingly, "Anything at all, just command me, I'll certainly make sure it's done!"<br /> <br /> "Then just enjoy this needle." Su Yi's indifferent words reached Chen Mingjun's ears, one by one.<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun was a mixture of horror and fear.<br /> <br /> "No... No—!!!"<br /> <br /> "This needle is for Lin Xinran."<br /> <br /> With a cold smirk, Su Yi spoke slowly, appearing like a King of Hell emerging from the abyss!<br /> <br /> A needle went down.<br /> <br /> "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—"<br /> <br /> Chen Mingjun's miserable wailing resonated throughout the building.<br /> <br /> "Hehehe, you'll always be a eunuch now."<br /> ...
