<h4>Chapter 247: Chapter 247: The Deceiver</h4>


    "Don’t you think what you said is extremely ironic? You know exactly what you all said back then. Now youe to me wanting to fix your face—do you think I’m someone without principles?"


    The events of the past had already transpired, making the situation now utterly exasperating.


    "Even if the surgery was done at my hospital, as long as you don’t follow my instructions to apply the medication, what happens to your faceter has nothing to do with me."


    It was his ownck of perseverance that caused the mess, and now he was trying to pin the me on her—was that notughable?


    "Miss Ji, I know you dislike my face, and I know the troubles back then left a bitter taste. But my face is innocent. I’ve been desperately trying to find work—I truly have no other options, which is why I’m here begging you."


    Li Yu was severely injured by the people Ji Yu had arranged, and naturally, none of them parted on good terms.


    They dared not confront Ji Yu head-on; they just hoped she could fix his face first so he could find work afterward.


    "Miss Ji, I really only need you to restore my face, and after that, I won’t bother you anymore. If you refuse, I swear I won’t even spare you as a ghost."


    Ji Yu had never encountered someone so absurdly unreasonable before. The malice in his eyes indicated that his threats weren’t empty words.


    "You can go seek other stic surgeons to fix your face. As for my situation, you’re well aware—I’m pregnant and can’t perform surgeries."


    She had a major surgery scheduled in theing weeks.


    The issue with Jiang Yaohuan remained unresolved, and that needed to be addressed first.


    The man’s face darkened significantly; he clearly hadn’t expected her to reject him so decisively.


    "Ji Yu, do you think you’re anything great? The words you’re saying now are nothing but pretentious moralizing. You know full well that only you can fix my face."


    He knew this fact clearly, which was why he had been this agitated from the start, desperate to make her understand that this couldn’t be allowed to continue, or his face would be ruined.


    "Back then, you were the ones who demanded I do this. Now you regret it—so what do you want me to do?"


    Ji Yu couldn’tprehend their logic. The surgery she performed back then had clearly been a great sess; it was his own poor aftercare that caused the current state. Shouldn’t he bear responsibility for his own actions?


    "You ought to know your own situation better than anyone. Go ahead and use your damaged face to make a living."


    They absolutely wouldn’t offer him any kind of support or follow-up.


    The man seemed deeply resentful about the situation. Upon hearing her words, he unexpectedly leapt directly from the second floor.


    Gu Qixiao and Ji Yu didn’t even have time to react before he had hit the ground.


    Though the fall wasn’t life-threatening, it was clear his condition wasn’t good—at the very least, he had likely suffered a fracture.


    Ji Yu had never seen anyone so extreme before, and this behavior appeared to be premeditated.


    "Could this guy be mentally unwell? Or is someone pulling strings behind the scenes? Otherwise, how could he jump so easily like that?"


    Though the height wouldn’t kill anyone, the pain would certainly be agonizing. His behavior quickly drew a lot of attention.


    Many people were curious about what was happening over here, especially when they recognized the two individuals—it sparked even more interest.


    "Aren’t those the two people trending on the intetely—Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao?"


    With so many eyes on them—and being recognized—if this wasn’t resolved, it was sure to cause endless troubleter. Who knew how many people woulde forward to criticize them?


    Ji Yu grew increasingly suspicious that there was someone orchestrating things behind this man. How else could they have nned it so precisely?


    "I don’t know the specifics, but isn’t your approach a bit excessive?"


    As Ji Yu descended to check on him, seeing his dark, twisted expression left her speechless.


    "Miss Ji, only you can treat my face. I have full faith in your skills, so please help me. I’ll do anything you ask." His words sounded carefree, but there was no way Ji Yu would operate under current circumstances.


    "I’ve already said I can’t take on high-intensity surgeries right now. Besides, your condition wasn’t caused by me—your reckless use of medication led to this. You should be responsible for your own decisions."


    Ji Yu wouldn’t just help anyone; even when Gu Qixiao pleaded on behalf of Song Xuan, she firmly refused to perform a second surgery.


    If not for Gu Qixiao’s subsequent good behavior, the oue wouldn’t have been as it was.


    Gu Qixiao seemed to recall those past events, feeling a bit awkward.


    Soon enough, an ambnce arrived, but neither Gu Qixiao nor Ji Yu intended to follow the injured man.


    Assistant Li couldn’t fail to understand their mindset by then.


    Since things hade this far, the situation would need to be handled ordingly.


    "President Gu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely resolve this matter. But those hidden circumstances behind it..."


    If he had to deal with hospital-rted issues, it would inevitably take some time. If the other party escaped in the meantime, things could get tricky.


    "You don’t need to worry about anything else. I’ve already mentally prepared for this situation."


    He had people investigating the matter already. Besides, their opponent’s actions were undoubtedly too outrageous.


    How could someone be so shameless, constantly trying to crush them with the weight of public opinion?


    "Yu, you head back for now and leave this matter to me. But during this period, you should also be careful. If they’ve sent someone now, they’ll surely send others."


    Ji Yu was convinced there had to be a motive behind this incident.


    "If they dare to employ such tactics, it means they’re very familiar with our movements. I’m really curious who betrayed us."


    Only a handful of people had ess to such detailed knowledge of their whereabouts, yet they had no suspects. Most of their inner circle were trusted confidants.


    Such insiders wouldn’t betray them, so someone must be secretly stirring trouble, trying to sow mistrust among them.


    "Whoever it is must be truly despicable."
