《Invincible Little School Doctor》 Chapter 1 - 1 1 Perspective ?1: Chapter 1 Perspective 1: Chapter 1 Perspective My head, it hurts so bad! Ye Haochuan¡¯s consciousness slowly returned, and the splitting headache made him extremely uncomfortable! ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± In a daze, he heard a crisp voice of a girl, ethereal as if it was right by his ear, and yet as if it was from the end of the sky. He slowly opened his eyes, and as the scenery before him became clear, a mature and gorgeous young woman appeared in front of him. The stunning young woman was leaning close to him, looking at him up close with a face full of joy. She seemed to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old with a standard melon seed face, fair and delicate skin that looked very elastic, beautifully curved eyebrows over a pair of lively and attractive big eyes, lightly dyed hair tied up high, and an air of competence and maturity that was captivating. Damn, this woman is a natural beauty! Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but silently compliment her, though his gaze continued to roam¡­ over the young woman¡¯s other parts. However, what he discovered next shocked him; no way, this young woman wasn¡¯t wearing any clothes! Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva. Heavens be his witness, faced with such a sight of springtime vitality for the first time, how could Ye Haochuan pass up the chance to feast his eyes? Unfortunately, for some reason, his eyes suddenly began to hurt, and the clothes of the gorgeous young woman in front of him gradually began to appear. What on earth was going on? Ye Haochuan rubbed his eyes, but to his disappointment, the ability to see through clothing didn¡¯t manifest itself again. ¡°Sir, sir, what¡¯s wrong with you? Are you alright?¡­ Ah! What are you looking at? Pervert!¡± Seeing him staring fixedly at herself, the gorgeous young woman¡¯s face flushed hotly like a ripe red apple as she shyly shrank back and covered herself with her arms, her enchanting eyes full of anger. Ye Haochuan then gradually came to his senses, watching the young woman¡¯s coy anger with a tempting charm, his heart couldn¡¯t help but sway; damn, she truly is a natural beauty, even her anger was alluring in its own way. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Ye Haochuan coughed dryly, showing no sign of embarrassment on his face, and he hee-hee¡¯d, ¡°Sorry, sorry, beauty, who are you? I don¡¯t seem to know you, do I?¡± While talking, he instinctively looked around; there were four hospital beds in the room, obviously, it was a hospital ward. And he himself was lying halfway in one of the beds. ¡°You really can¡¯t remember?¡± The gorgeous young woman seemed to have forgotten her recent anger and asked in surprise. Ye Haochuan thought for a moment before he remembered that before this, he had come to Haishan University to see his long-distance girlfriend, He Yun. Unexpectedly, upon arriving at Haishan University, he met with a car accident, then lost consciousness. At that time, he vaguely saw a woman in panic getting out of the Mercedes that hit him, and after that, he knew nothing. Looking at the young woman¡¯s attire, Ye Haochuan felt a sense of familiarity, and with a sudden start, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it was you who hit me¡­¡± ¡°It seems you¡¯ve remembered. I was worried you had amnesia and got quite a fright,¡± the gorgeous young woman said with a sigh of relief, ¡°Sir, my name is Xiao Haimei, and I¡¯m really sorry. It was my carelessness while driving that caused your accident. But don¡¯t worry, I will take responsibility. This is Haishan University Hospital. I¡¯ve had the doctors check you over; you don¡¯t have any serious injuries. However, I am willing to compensate you with one hundred thousand yuan for your mental distress¡­¡± One hundred thousand yuan for mental distress? This woman is really generous! Could she be the rumored rich and beautiful lady? Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes lit up at once, thinking of his girlfriend He Yun, who had always looked down on him for being poor, and recently had always been asking for a breakup. If he got this one hundred thousand yuan for mental distress, could he win back his girlfriend¡¯s heart? Thinking of his girlfriend He Yun, a sweetness filled Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart.

He and He Yun had confirmed their relationship after graduating from high school, and during their undergraduate studies, the two of them had maintained a long-distance relationship for four years. He Yun was very pretty, with a top-notch figure. Although she hadn¡¯t reached the level of being the department or university¡¯s beauty, she was still a girl many boys pursued. In high school, after graduation, it took him a lot of effort and persistence throughout the entire summer vacation to win He Yun over, making all of his high school classmates envious to the extreme. Now that he had graduated from university, while He Yun was continuing her studies as a graduate student, he planned to find a job in Haishan to be with her. However, his girlfriend did not agree, saying that since his family was poor, he might not even afford to rent a house if he came to Haishan, and she even threatened to break up with him. So, for Xiao Haimei, who had knocked him down, to offer one hundred thousand yuan as compensation for his mental distress¡ªit was hard for him not to be tempted! But now, with his body not suffering any serious harm, if he were to still accept one hundred thousand yuan for mental distress, it would seem a bit too heartless. With that in mind, Ye Haochuan waved his hand, ¡°Forget it, beauty, I believe you didn¡¯t mean to hit me, right? Since I¡¯m not seriously injured, I won¡¯t take the compensation for mental distress.¡± Xiao Haimei was stunned for a moment. In her mind, guys dressed as ordinarily as Ye Haochuan typically lit up at the mere mention of money, eager to grab it immediately. She didn¡¯t expect Ye Haochuan to refuse. Of course, this particular quality of Ye Haochuan made her admire him more. However, the lustful expression he had earlier made her admiration waver a bit. ¡°Sir, you are a very upright person, but still, I insist on paying the one hundred thousand yuan for mental distress. Otherwise, I would feel uneasy,¡± Xiao Haimei frowned. ¡°I said, beauty, I really don¡¯t intend to take the compensation. Please take it back,¡± he insisted. ¡°But¡­¡± Just as they were at an impasse, a familiar girl¡¯s voice suddenly came from the doorway of the ward, ¡°Ye Haochuan, are you out of your fucking mind? Couldn¡¯t you stay well in your own city instead of running to Haishan? Didn¡¯t I tell you? We are broken up! Broken up, do you understand?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s face froze, and his heart wrenched as he looked at the girl standing at the doorway! Indeed, this girl was his girlfriend He Yun, with whom he¡¯d been in a long-distance relationship for four years. Chapter 2 - 2 2 The Beautiful Chairwoman ?2: Chapter 2: The Beautiful Chairwoman 2: Chapter 2: The Beautiful Chairwoman Ye Haochuan frowned. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When had she learned to curse like that? Where had her previous restraint gone? ¡°Yun¡¯er, long-distance love hasn¡¯t been easy for us these past few years. Why are you breaking up with me just like that now?¡± ¡°Why? Ye Haochuan, do you have the nerve to ask me why? We¡¯ve been together since graduating from high school, but what kind of life have you given me these four years? What can you offer me in the future? Whenever I ask you to buy me a handbag, you pinch pennies, acting as if spending a thousand bucks is killing you. I haven¡¯t even asked you to buy me anything worth tens of thousands!¡± Ye Haochuan simply couldn¡¯t believe his ears. Was this his girlfriend, the one he knew? How had she become so mercenary? Yet, he still couldn¡¯t bear to let their four-year long-distance relationship end like this and said with restraint, ¡°Yun¡¯er, I will work hard. I came to Haishan this time to find a stable, high-paying job at a big hospital. In the future, I will definitely give you a good life¡­¡± He Yun scoffed, ¡°Oh, please. Ye Haochuan, how many times have you fed me that bullshit? My ears are practically growing calluses from hearing it. You, with a second-tier university degree, dare to dream of a stable, high-paying job in Haishan¡¯s big hospitals? Bullshit, you loser!¡± Loser? Am I a fucking loser? Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart bled. His own girlfriend, in front of others, publicly calling him a loser! ¡°The honest truth is, I¡¯ve already agreed to be someone else¡¯s girlfriend. He¡¯s better off than you, has a car, a house, and it¡¯s even in Haishan City Center. Know how much this necklace I¡¯m wearing is worth? Let me tell you, you couldn¡¯t afford it even if you sold a kidney¡­¡± ¡°And my new boyfriend has already promised me a set of property near the suburbs of Haishan, as well as an Audi. Even if I break up with him in the future, it doesn¡¯t matter. With a house, I can still live comfortably in Haishan for the rest of my life¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t listen anymore and roared, ¡°Just break up if you want! What¡¯s the big deal? You¡¯re nothing but a pure gold-digger! Look at yourself now, your makeup looks like a clown, and you¡¯re dressed so sluttily, just like a homewrecker. You think I¡¯m desperate to be with you?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What about me? Am I wrong? With your looks, only I treated you like a treasure. You think those bastards really care about you? Wake the fuck up; they only want you for your body. Once you¡¯re old and faded, let¡¯s see which of those bastards would want you?¡± ¡°How dare you curse me?¡± He Yun said angrily. Ye Haochuan jumped off the hospital bed, looking at He Yun with a cold sneering laugh. ¡°Yeah, so what if I curse you? Break up if you want to break up. I¡¯m not losing out anyway. We¡¯ve rolled in the sheets countless times anyway. You¡¯re second-hand goods now, and you¡¯ll probably end up having to settle with some decent man.¡± ¡°What? Second-hand goods?¡± He Yun was fuming. ¡°Get the hell out of here, and don¡¯t let me see your gold-digging face again. From now on, you take your sunny path, and I¡¯ll walk my own log bridge!¡± He Yun hadn¡¯t expected that Ye Haochuan, who had always doted on her, would be so fierce. She wanted to retort, but she was at a loss for words and stomped her foot, turning her head and walking away. Once He Yun had left, Ye Haochuan¡¯s mood instantly darkened. After all, he had invested his whole heart into this relationship and hadn¡¯t expected it to end like this. Seeing his dejected expression, Xiao Haimie didn¡¯t know how to comfort him and said, ¡°Ye Haochuan, it¡¯s not worth it to be upset over that kind of woman. Don¡¯t let it make you sick.¡± Ye Haochuan looked up, laughing heartily, ¡°Upset over her? How could I be upset over her? These past few months, she has been throwing tantrums about breaking up every now and then. I¡¯ve been worn out dealing with her. Now that we¡¯ve broken up, I¡¯m actually relieved.¡± Xiao Haimie laughed out loud, her laughter as brilliant as a blooming flower, ¡°That¡¯s good then. I was worried you¡¯d take it hard.¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head, ¡°Well, it¡¯s still a bit painful, to be honest.¡± Nodding her head, Xiao Haimie suddenly asked, ¡°What are your plans now?¡± ¡°What else can I plan? Now that I¡¯ve broken up with my girlfriend and jobs are hard to find in Haishan, I think I might as well go back to my hometown¡¯s county hospital and look for a job there.¡± Saying this, Ye Haochuan became dispirited. Xiao Haimie pondered for a moment, ¡°How about¡­ you come work at our Haishan University Hospital? I¡¯ll arrange it for you.¡± Ye Haochuan was taken aback, ¡°You¡¯ll arrange it for me? Do you have that authority?¡± Xiao Haimie smiled, ¡°I am the new appointed chairman of Haishan University. What do you say, do I have the authority?¡± The new appointed chairman? That¡¯s the big shot of Haishan University! Ye Haochuan was also stunned. Such a delicate beauty, and she¡¯s the chairman of Haishan University! A beautiful chairman, just the thought of it was tempting! ¡°The girlfriend¡¯s gone, why should I stay here in Haishan? Besides, I¡¯m not familiar with this place,¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to make something of yourself, achieve something here and make your ex-girlfriend regret?¡± Xiao Haimie chuckled lightly. Make the ex-girlfriend regret? Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes lit up. Yes, indeed! He had put so much effort into protecting that love, only to end up broken up. If he didn¡¯t achieve something outstanding and make He Yun regret it, how could he be true to himself? With that thought, Ye Haochuan made up his mind, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Afterward, Xiao Haimie made a call to Principal Xu of Haishan University, discussing the intention to hire Ye Haochuan. Given the new chairman had taken position, Principal Xu naturally wouldn¡¯t offend and agreed to make arrangements immediately. Before long, the university hospital sent over a female doctor in a white lab coat. This female doctor appeared to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, exceptionally beautiful with delicate features, a petite and cute nose adorned with a pair of delicate-framed glasses, a perfect oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and hair tied professionally behind her back. Although she wore a white lab coat from head to toe, the faint contours still allowed one to glimpse the exquisitely perfect figure beneath. No way, this little Haishan University Hospital actually has such a beauty, a match for Chairman Xiao¡¯s allure! Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes shone brightly. But immediately, he sighed inwardly. Beauty or enchantress, they are absolutely out of reach for a poor guy like him! ¡°Ye Haochuan, this is Doctor Kou Jing. She was the one who checked your injuries earlier. Now, you¡¯ll go with her to complete the onboarding procedures.¡± After saying this, Xiao Haimie left, excusing herself as having matters to attend to. ¡°Come with me,¡± Kou Jing said indifferently. ¡°Alright, Doctor Kou.¡± Watching her move away gracefully, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but feel a stir within. If previously he had been somewhat reluctant to work at the university hospital, now he was completely free of any such reservations. Even though as a poor guy, it was unlikely for him to end up with such a beauty, it was easy on the eyes to look at her, wasn¡¯t it? But what he didn¡¯t realize was that at this very moment, Kou Jing harbored immense contempt for him in her heart, looking down on him for climbing up the social ladder by relying on a woman. He had barely graduated from college, and yet he had effortlessly joined Haishan University Hospital with not a low salary either, quite the freeloader. Chapter 3 - 3 3 Legacy ?3: Chapter 3: Legacy 3: Chapter 3: Legacy The onboarding procedure was quickly completed with Kou Jing¡¯s help. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Afterward, Kou Jing led him to a room of about fifteen square meters, equipped with a bed, bedding, and a desk and stool. Although the amenities were basic, they were still fairly decent. ¡°This will be your accommodation; here is the key,¡± Kou Jing said, handing over the key to him. ¡°Settle in today; you start work officially tomorrow. I¡¯m leaving now.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Ye Haochuan took the key, ¡°Doctor Kou, let me walk you out.¡± Kou Jing didn¡¯t respond and let him be. However, as he took just two steps, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, and a vast black veil descended before his eyes. Then, his head started to ache as if it was splitting open. ¡°Ah!¡± Ye Haochuan cried out in pain, clutching his head and rolling on the ground. The pain in his head intensified, becoming almost unbearable. Kou Jing was startled, ¡°Ye Haochuan, what¡¯s wrong with you? What happened?¡± But at this time, Ye Haochuan had completely lost control, struggling wildly, and soon, he lost consciousness¡­ He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed before the pain in his head subsided. Ye Haochuan woke up and looked around; he found himself back in the hospital room. This time, however, there was a small nurse by the bed, petite and pretty, who was currently dozing off at the bedside. Ye Haochuan felt his head was still a bit groggy and felt a bit thirsty. Just as he was about to wake the small nurse for some water, he suddenly heard the voice of a mysterious person echoing in his mind. ¡°Young man, from now on, you and I are destined. You have received the inheritance of my Medical Techniques; on the day you master them, you must avenge my grievances and clear the dishonor of our Long Group, remember, remember.¡± As the mysterious voice gradually faded away, Ye Haochuan had not yet recovered from his shock. A huge amount of information filled his mind, greatly surprising him. This information was complex, consisting entirely of knowledge about Medical Techniques, vast and profound, like an ocean. Only a very small part was about the fragmented memories of that mysterious person. ¡°What on earth is going on?¡± Ye Haochuan could hardly believe it, then he sifted through the memory fragments of the mysterious person. What he least expected was that this mysterious person was from a secret force of the Huaxia Military named the Long Group! What the mysterious person was called, he didn¡¯t know; he knew only that his codename in the Long Group was ¡°Holy Hand,¡± because of his unparalleled and outstanding medical skills that could even save the dying, his reputation was extremely high among the members of the group. However, three months ago, during a mission in Haishan, the members of the Long Group were ambushed by enemies, suffering heavy casualties and the Holy Hand himself was especially targeted by the enemy and unfortunately killed in battle. But unexpectedly, the Holy Hand, with his profound cultivation, had his body dead but his soul lingered, constantly waiting at Haishan University for the destined one to appear and inherit his mantle, hoping to someday avenge him. This wait had lasted for three months. As it happened, Ye Haochuan came to Haishan University seeking his girlfriend and was involved in a car accident, losing consciousness. Being a graduate of a Medical University himself, his soul was thus taken over by the Holy Hand who bestowed upon him the entirety of his Medical Techniques, imprinting them in his mind. Upon understanding the reason, Ye Haochuan sifted through the Medical Techniques imparted to him by the Holy Hand again and found that these memories had now completely merged with his own. Additionally, he discovered that the reason he suddenly possessed Perspective Ability was because the Holy Hand had activated it for him. The reason why the Perspective later disappeared was that there was no True Qi left in his Dantian to support it, causing the effects of the Perspective to fade away. To regain his perspective ability, he just needed to cultivate the Longevity Technique passed down to him by the Holy Hand, allowing the Longevity True Qi in his Dantian to fill up. ¡°Damn, this perspective ability is so awesome, why don¡¯t I quickly cultivate the Longevity Technique?¡± Ye Haochuan was extremely excited, and immediately followed the cultivation method of the Longevity Technique he remembered. He sat upright, slowly regulated his breathing and energy. Soon, he felt a small flow of breath circulating through his limbs and body, and his groggy head also cleared up considerably. An hour had passed. The young nurse also woke up by then. Seeing him sitting on the sickbed in a meditative posture, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh and said, ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Ye Haochuan immediately stopped cultivating and opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and energetic. He glanced at the young nurse. When the nurse had dozed off at the bedside earlier, he hadn¡¯t looked closely. Now that he looked at her properly, he thought she was innocent-looking and cute, with a bob cut that gave her a girl-next-door vibe. ¡°Nothing much, just meditating for health¡­ Oh right, what¡¯s your name?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. Meditation, indeed a good excuse to cover up cultivation. ¡°Meditation?¡± The nurse didn¡¯t suspect anything, nodded, and broke into a naive, charming smile showing a tiny canine tooth, ¡°I¡¯m Han Xue¡¯er.¡± ¡°Han Xue¡¯er¡­ Hehe, nice name, you really live up to it, looking as pure as snowflakes!¡± Ye Haochuan nodded. ¡°You look great too, very handsome, especially those eyes, as pretty as black gems,¡± Han Xue¡¯er said with a tiny face full of infatuation. As pretty as black gems? Ye Haochuan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it must be the effect of his recent cultivation of the Longevity Technique. Not only had his spirit and energy reached a new level, but his eyes had also become dark and shiny, even mesmerizing Han Xue¡¯er. Suddenly, Ye Haochuan felt a pulse within him, drove the Longevity True Qi in his Dantian into his eyes, and soon, he could see Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s nurse uniform gradually vanish, leaving just her pink bra. Possibly because of her young age, the bra was small, and her figure was not fully developed yet, but a pair of Saintess Peaks were already taking shape. Damn, she was indeed a deadly little sprite that could kill a man without owing him a life, and with that figure, she was definitely a young man¡¯s assassin! Alas, what a pity, I can look but not touch; who knows which guy will get to have this little sprite in the future? Just as Ye Haochuan harbored some hint of self-pity, he suddenly scolded himself inside, ¡°Damn it, Ye Haochuan, you¡¯re really regressing. Now that you¡¯ve obtained the inheritance of the Holy Hand¡¯s Medical Techniques, the sky¡¯s the limit for you in the future. Are you still worried about not being able to have this little sprite?¡± With that thought, he felt his desire surge again, his mind flitting between the glamorous CEO Xiao Haimei and the beautiful Doctor Kou Jing, feeling as if he wanted both, a truly wonderful sensation. ¡°Hey, hey, where are your eyes wandering?¡± The discontent in Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s voice pulled Ye Haochuan¡¯s mind back, and without thinking, he replied, ¡°Looking at your chest¡­¡± As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Haochuan knew he had blundered. Sure enough, Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s voice rose eight notches, ¡°Pervert!¡± and then, she quickly ran off. Ye Haochuan chuckled to himself; compared to the dejected mood when He Yun talked about breaking up, his current spirits were incomparably better. Chapter 4 - 4 4 Long Group Mission ?4: Chapter 4: Long Group Mission 4: Chapter 4: Long Group Mission The little nurse, Han Xue¡¯er, hurried away, and Ye Haochuan immediately stopped urging the Longevity True Qi. At that moment, he suddenly remembered the advice given by Holy Hand before, that if he ever encountered any difficulties, he could contact the former leader of Long Group, Long Xiaotian. Why not get in touch with him now? Driven by curiosity, Ye Haochuan took out his mobile phone and dialed the number left to him by Holy Hand, Long Xiaotian¡¯s number. However, strangely, as soon as the call connected and rang a few times, the other party hung up directly. ¡°What the hell?¡± Ye Haochuan tried calling again. Unexpectedly, the other party hung up again and, moreover, this happened twice in a row. Ye Haochuan was incredibly frustrated. Damn it, was Long Xiaotian some kind of weirdo? Was receiving a call so difficult? Just as he was about to give up, his phone rang, and it was another unknown number calling. Ye Haochuan pressed the answer button and had just said hello when a deep and authoritative male voice came through the phone, ¡°Who is this?¡± Coming to his senses, Ye Haochuan hastily said, ¡°I am Holy Hand¡¯s¡­¡± Before he could finish, the other side cut in excitedly, ¡°Holy Hand, you¡­ you¡¯re still alive?¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan was quite certain that the person on the other end was Long Xiaotian. He said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not Holy Hand; he has already sacrificed himself. May I know if you are Long Xiaotian?¡± A sigh came from the receiver, followed by a silent pause. Moments later, the voice spoke, ¡°Indeed, I am Long Xiaotian. May I know who I am speaking to?¡± Ye Haochuan thought to himself; since Holy Hand trusted Long Xiaotian, he must be a trustworthy person. He then recounted to him how he inherited the legacy of Holy Hand. ¡°Such a thing happened? That¡¯s unbelievable!¡± The voice of Long Xiaotian from the other end was filled with amazement, but soon after, he became excited, ¡°That¡¯s great, that¡¯s great! With a successor to Holy Hand, our Long Group¡¯s combat strength returning to its peak is something to look forward to!¡± Although Ye Haochuan could not see Long Xiaotian¡¯s face, listening to his hearty laughter, he felt deeply touched. Long Group must indeed be a passionate combat collective! ¡°Ye Haochuan, listen carefully, from now on, before you achieve great success with the Longevity Technique, you are not allowed to contact me unless I reach out to you first, got that?¡± Ye Haochuan jumped in shock. Damn, Long Xiaotian¡¯s voice was so commanding, so penetrating, that listening to it made it difficult to resist! ¡°Understood,¡± Ye Haochuan replied obediently, but inside he found it somewhat strange. Why would it be like that? However, the person on the other end of the phone, Long Xiaotian, didn¡¯t offer much of an explanation. ¡°Whatever, why bother contacting him for no reason? I¡¯m not into that. I¡¯ll just focus on cultivating the Longevity Technique. Once I have enough Longevity True Qi, my Perspective Ability will be able to last longer and I¡¯ll be able to fight back if someone bullies me, right?¡± Thinking about using his Perspective Ability to look at beauties when he was free and showing off his muscles when necessary, Ye Haochuan began to look forward to it. At that moment, Long Xiaotian asked him some questions and, after instructing him to practice the Longevity Technique diligently, said, ¡°Since you are Holy Hand¡¯s successor, you are now a provisional member of our Long Group. Now, I have a mission for you.¡± ¡°A mission? What mission?¡± ¡°Protect a freshman girl at Haishan University. Her name is Lin Qingxuan.¡± ¡°Protecting a freshman girl? No problem, I¡¯m naturally the Flower Protector. But why do I need to protect her? I need a reason first,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a laugh. ¡°Stop joking around!¡± Long Xiaotian said sternly, ¡°As an organization, you just carry out the missions you¡¯re given, ask fewer questions about the reasons.¡± Fuck, once you join an organization, it¡¯s like a sea from which you cannot escape, and from then on, you¡¯re no longer a free man! Ye Haochuan was a bit speechless, but he dared not express this thought. Long Xiaotian was too dominant, making him somewhat wary. ¡°Alright, I know.¡± Ye Haochuan replied languidly. ¡°Furthermore, you are not to reveal to anyone that you are a reserve member of the Long Group, got it? Otherwise, if you encounter a fatal disaster, don¡¯t blame me for not warning you.¡± ¡°Fatal disaster?¡± Ye Haochuan shrank his neck, it sounded terrifying. ¡°Okay, enough said, take care of yourself.¡± Long Xiaotian then hung up the phone immediately. Ye Haochuan was speechless again and stood in a daze for quite a while before he got the implications. Thinking of his luggage still in the rented basement, Ye Haochuan hopped out of bed, ready to leave the ward to move his belongings over. Footsteps sounded. The beautiful doctor Kou Jing walked in with an icy face and said coldly, ¡°Ye Haochuan, I hope you can be more mindful. This is the school hospital, and we are colleagues. If you continue to act like a hooligan, I¡¯ll have no choice but to ask Chairman Xiao to fire you.¡± Ye Haochuan immediately understood that this beautiful doctor was warning him about teasing Han Xue¡¯er! Although he knew he was in the wrong, this was certainly not the time to admit it. With a pained expression, he said, ¡°Doctor Kou, what are you talking about? Where was I not mindful? Where did I act like a hooligan? Are you saying that because I glanced at your chest, you think I¡¯m a hooligan? I¡¯m innocent!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Kou Jing was about to get angry but thought better of it and ended up swallowing her words. However, deep down, she was becoming increasingly irritated by this pervert. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk nonsense. Get on the sickbed.¡± Kou Jing ordered with a frosty face. ¡°What for?¡± Ye Haochuan was taken aback. ¡°Get on the bed and stop asking so many questions!¡± Kou Jing glared at him. Alright, brother, I¡¯m scared of you! Ye Haochuan obediently lay down on the sickbed. Then, Ye Haochuan saw the beautiful doctor slowly bending over. Her delicate red lips were closing in on his face, and he couldn¡¯t help teasing, ¡°Doctor Kou, you¡¯re not trying to take advantage of me, are you?¡± Smack! Kou Jing slapped his shoulder and rolled her eyes, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? I¡¯m checking your head to find out what¡¯s going on. It was fine a moment ago, so why the unbearable pain now?¡± S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only then did Ye Haochuan realize that she was checking the cause of his headache. He had mistakenly thought she wanted to take advantage of him. Alright, I¡¯m guilty, I¡¯m not human! Ye Haochuan scratched his head, ¡°Doctor Kou, I sincerely apologize. I was being lecherous just now, mistakenly thinking that you wanted to¡­¡± Kou Jing gave him a look, ¡°Are you still talking?¡± But involuntarily, her cheeks flushed. Looking at her ice-cold, beautiful face, which now resembled a ripe red apple, Ye Haochuan was taken aback. Such a reserved beauty actually blushing was truly a rarity! Seeing that Ye Haochuan had calmed down, Kou Jing said with a stern face, ¡°Alright, close your eyes and lie down. I¡¯ll give your head a thorough examination. If pressing anywhere causes pain, let me know with a grunt.¡± ¡°Doctor Kou, I¡¯ll lie down, but why close my eyes?¡± Ye Haochuan protested. In his heart, he clearly understood that the beautiful doctor was worried he would sneak peeks while she was examining him. Damn, this beautiful doctor is guarding against me like I¡¯m a wolf! ¡°Be good, understood? If you don¡¯t behave, I¡¯ll gouge out your eyeballs,¡± Kou Jing threatened, her almond eyes glaring. Chapter 5 - 5 5 A Huge Miscarriage of Justice ?5: Chapter 5 A Huge Miscarriage of Justice 5: Chapter 5 A Huge Miscarriage of Justice Having no choice but to heed the threatening beautiful doctor, Ye Haochuan obediently closed his eyes. Seeing this, Kou Jing earnestly began to examine his head, her delicate hands occasionally massaging him, making him so comfortable he nearly wanted to cry for his mom. But little did she know, in secret, Ye Haochuan had already activated the Longevity True Qi in his Dantian, channeling the True Qi into his eyes¡­ The captivating and charming scenery soon became clear before his eyes. From Ye Haochuan¡¯s perspective, Kou Jing¡¯s white coat gradually faded away, revealing a black bra underneath, and gradually¡­ ¡°How do you feel now?¡± Kou Jing¡¯s voice suddenly entered his ears. Ye Haochuan, comfortably enjoying the massage, muttered in a daze, ¡°So big¡­¡± ¡°So big?¡± Kou Jing, who was gently massaging his head, paused. Following his gaze¡­ She saw that his eyes were still closed, but a faint and mischievous smile played on his face, indescribably sleazy. Clearly, although this pervert wasn¡¯t looking at her body with his eyes open, he was blissfully fantasizing at that very moment. ¡°Pervert, scumbag!¡± Kou Jing was so angry that her eyes almost scorch with fire. Ye Haochuan, having taken advantage while playing the innocent, opened his eyes and said with a pitiable look, ¡°Doctor Kou, what¡¯s wrong? I was just relaxing; why are you scolding me again?¡± ¡°Scumbag, you know exactly what you¡¯re thinking, Hmph!¡± ¡°What would I know in my heart?¡± ¡°Still pretending? When I asked you how you felt just now, what did you say¡­ so big? What does that mean? Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Clearly, you were thinking something dirty in your mind again.¡± ¡°Dirty thoughts?¡± Ye Haochuan started to protest vehemently, ¡°That¡¯s a huge misunderstanding, a really big one! When I said ¡®so big,¡¯ I meant my head is big, as big as a fighting bull. How could that be any dirty thought?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Kou Jing was left speechless, obviously not expecting this explanation. Ye Haochuan looked at her with a cunning smile and said, ¡°Doctor Kou, couldn¡¯t it be that you¡¯re the one who has been thinking dirty thoughts all along?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you spouting?¡± Kou Jing could hardly tolerate his teasing and was about to explode when suddenly, Nurse Han Xue¡¯er rushed in frantically and said, ¡°Sister Jing, there¡¯s been a dispute with the school¡¯s soccer team. A boy got injured in the fight, and it¡¯s very serious. Director Wu specifically asked for you to take a look.¡± Kou Jing¡¯s eyebrows knitted slightly; although she was a surgeon, she didn¡¯t have the seniority or experience of a chief physician. If the injury was very serious, Director Wu should be responsible. His specifically asking for her seemed like he was trying to curry favor with her. But just thinking about Director Wu¡¯s disgusting and corrupt private life made her feel repulsed. In the entire Haishan School, who didn¡¯t know about Director Wu¡¯s bad reputation? Not to mention how he often went out to rent rooms with call girls, he also liked to harass the female students who came to the school hospital for treatment. However, Director Wu was her superior. Since he had assigned her, if she were to refuse, it would reflect poorly on her if word got out. So she said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve got it. I¡¯ll head there right away.¡± She was about to tell Ye Haochuan to stay in bed and rest properly, but Ye Haochuan jumped off the bed and said, ¡°Doctor Kou, let¡¯s go, take me to see that boy.¡± Ye Haochuan, who studied clinical medicine, was immensely interested in treating the severely wounded, and now that he had inherited the medical skills of the Holy Hand, he was eager to witness their wondrous effects. ¡°What are you going to do? Isn¡¯t your headache still not fully healed?¡± Kou Jing said coldly, clearly not wanting him to follow. Ye Haochuan knew perfectly well what was happening with his headache. Now that the memories transmitted from the Holy Hand had completely integrated within him, naturally, the headaches would not recur. He smiled and said, ¡°Doctor Kou, although I start work tomorrow, I have studied clinical medicine. Now that there¡¯s an injured person, I want to go and see. Let me tell you, my internship grades were very good, and my medical skills are not bad either. Maybe later, if you can¡¯t save the person, you might have to rely on me.¡± ¡°Big talker.¡± Kou Jing had experienced his shamelessness on top of his lecherousness and rolled her eyes. She was about to refuse when an anxious call came from outside the ward from another nurse: ¡°Doctor Kou, hurry to the intensive care unit, the patient¡¯s condition is worsening.¡± Upon hearing this, Kou Jing couldn¡¯t care for anything else and hurried to the intensive care unit. Ye Haochuan and the nurse, Han Xue¡¯er, followed closely behind. Once in the intensive care unit, they saw a young man in a soccer uniform lying on the emergency bed, covered in blood, his condition looking grim. Having inherited the medical knowledge of the Holy Hand, Ye Haochuan could gauge most ailments with just a ¡°look.¡± The young man¡¯s life force was diminishing, hanging by a thread. ¡°Is the test report out yet?¡± Kou Jing asked the nurses in the intensive care unit anxiously upon seeing the patient¡¯s condition. ¡°It will take another fifteen minutes.¡± ¡°Please hurry up as much as you can,¡± Kou Jing urged. Ye Haochuan shook his head. By the time the test report came out, the young man might have already breathed his last. He stepped forward and said, ¡°Let me take a look.¡± After saying that, ignoring the surprised looks from those around him, he reached out to feel the patient¡¯s pulse and then activated his Perspective Eyes to carefully examine the patient¡¯s chest and legs. Before long, he had a conclusion: ¡°Both legs are fractured, those are minor injuries. The key issue is that the liver is damaged from the shock and is at risk of rupturing at any moment. Immediate surgery is needed.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Kou Jing was rendered speechless, pulling him aside and giving him an exasperated look, whispering, ¡°Are you sick? The examination results aren¡¯t even out yet, and you¡¯re jumping to conclusions?¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled: ¡°Whether I¡¯m jumping to conclusions or not, you¡¯ll know when the test results come out.¡± At this moment, a young man who had accompanied the injured person came up and asked urgently, ¡°Are the results out? Hurry up and save him, you got that? If our Brother Feng doesn¡¯t make it through, you all won¡¯t be able to answer for it.¡± Kou Jing said displeased, ¡°Who rushes people like that? Can¡¯t you see we¡¯re waiting for the test results? Step aside and calm down!¡± The young man was about to get angry but upon seeing Kou Jing, known as the ¡°Iceberg Goddess¡± of the Haishan School clinic, he instantly lost his temper. Time ticked by, second by second, and ten minutes later, the test results for Brother Feng came out, exactly as Ye Haochuan had said. Kou Jing was dumbstruck on the spot, wondering how on earth this guy could make such an accurate diagnosis. Ye Haochuan said to Kou Jing with a smug look, ¡°How about that? I was right, wasn¡¯t I?¡± Kou Jing gave him a sidelong glance: ¡°Boasting. You were just making a wild guess.¡± Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t counter, but said seriously, ¡°Doctor Kou, the patient¡¯s condition is critical, we can¡¯t delay any longer, surgery must be done as soon as possible.¡± ¡°But¡­ I¡¯m not confident about this surgery,¡± Kou Jing said with a troubled look. Just as Ye Haochuan was about to volunteer, a group of people rushed in hurriedly, led by a middle-aged couple that looked quite distinguished, followed by several black-clad bodyguards. ¡°How is my son doing?¡± the middle-aged woman called out anxiously. Chapter 6 - 6 6 No Transfer! ?6: Chapter 6: No Transfer! 6: Chapter 6: No Transfer! Seeing the middle-aged woman¡¯s inquiry, Kou Jing truthfully responded, ¡°Ma¡¯am, the condition of your son is not optimistic. The injuries to other parts of his body are relatively minor, but his liver has sustained a heavy blow and is at risk of rupturing at any moment. He must undergo surgery immediately.¡± ¡°What? Is it that serious?¡± The middle-aged woman¡¯s complexion changed. Nodding, Kou Jing said gravely, ¡°The surgery carries an extremely high risk, so please be prepared mentally.¡± The middle-aged woman¡¯s face altered with anxiety, ¡°Are you saying that my son might not survive the treatment?¡± ¡°Judging from your son¡¯s condition, the chances of success in surgery are very low. Moreover, although our university hospital¡¯s facilities are not poor, they do significantly fall short of a major hospital like Haishan People¡¯s Hospital,¡± Kou Jing sighed. ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Transfer him to Haishan People¡¯s Hospital at once!¡± the middle-aged woman exclaimed loudly. ¡°But, it¡¯s already too late for that. Our Haishan University is located in the suburbs, while Haishan People¡¯s Hospital is in the city center. Even if there¡¯s no traffic, it would take at least an hour to transfer to Haishan People¡¯s Hospital,¡± Kou Jing said with a frown. At this moment, the middle-aged man interjected, ¡°That¡¯s not a problem, we just arrived at the school by helicopter. The helicopter is outside; we can reach Haishan People¡¯s Hospital within twenty minutes.¡± Hearing this, everyone in the room marveled to themselves; this couple was so wealthy, they traveled by helicopter. Ye Haochuan was even more intrigued, who exactly were they? So impressive! Suddenly, the young nurse Han Xue¡¯er whispered to him, ¡°That man, I¡¯ve seen him on TV. He¡¯s the most prominent tycoon in Haishan, the head of Heavenly Might Group, Li Tianwei. Our Haishan University¡¯s Heavenly Might Complex, Heavenly Might Library, Heavenly Might Laboratory, Heavenly Might Dormitory, were all fully funded and built by him. That woman is Tan Yuying, his wife¡­¡± Ye Haochuan listened with a sense of awe; the assets of the Li family were substantial, their background profound. Then, Kou Jing spoke up, ¡°If you can transfer to Haishan People¡¯s Hospital within twenty minutes, then there might still be hope for your son.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s transfer him immediately!¡± Li Tianwei decisively stated. However, at that moment, Ye Haochuan suddenly spoke in a grave tone, ¡°We can¡¯t transfer him!¡± All eyes in the room instantly turned towards him. Kou Jing was taken aback on the spot, her gaze incredulous as she looked at him. Has this guy lost his mind? Without transferring, did he intend to let the patient¡¯s condition deteriorate and lead to death? ¡°What did you say? We can¡¯t transfer him?¡± Li Tianwei¡¯s oppressive gaze swept over. Ye Haochuan nodded solemnly, ¡°Yes, we can¡¯t transfer him. Your son¡¯s condition is critical, his liver has already started bleeding. In as short as three minutes, or at most five, he will choke on his blood and die.¡± ¡°Choke on his blood and die?¡± Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying were both taken aback. Kou Jing, beside them, was stunned once more. The liver has already started bleeding? How did he know that? At first, she had her doubts and was ready to rebuke him, but then she remembered his diagnosis that matched the examination results precisely, and she did not dare to speak rashly. Seeing him dressed casually and knowing he was young, Tan Yuying mistook him for a student and said with displeasure, ¡°Who are you? You say my son will choke on his blood and die, are you cursing my son?¡± Seeing the tension in the air, Kou Jing hastily explained, ¡°He¡¯s a new doctor at our university hospital, Ye Haochuan, just graduated from college¡­¡± Although she really disliked this lecher, he was still part of the same system and assigned to her team; naturally, she had to protect his image in front of outsiders. ¡°I thought you were some kind of expert,¡± Tan Yuying snorted contemptuously, her expression full of scorn. Li Tianwei also mocked on the spot, ¡°Just graduated from college, and you think your medical skills are second to none? Young man, be more humble, it won¡¯t hurt your future career.¡± Ye Haochuan felt so frustrated, thinking to himself that he was just telling the truth; what does this have to do with being humble or not? ¡°Alright, hurry up and transfer to another hospital, we can¡¯t delay any longer,¡± Li Tianwei said gravely. Kou Jing quickly called over Han Xue¡¯er and a few other nurses, ready to move the victim to another hospital on a stretcher. However, at this moment, the patient lying in the bed suddenly started coughing violently and then spat out a pool of blood. At the same time, the beeping of the heart rate monitor beside the bed indicated that the patient¡¯s condition was deteriorating. Seeing this, both Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying¡¯s faces changed dramatically, while Kou Jing was thrown into a flurry, trying to resuscitate the patient, but to no avail, as he continued to cough up blood. Ye Haochuan stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, ¡°Doctor Kou, we must perform surgery right now, we really can¡¯t transfer him anymore. I¡¯ll be the lead surgeon, you assist.¡± At this point, Kou Jing was deeply impressed by Ye Haochuan¡¯s consecutive accurate diagnoses, she looked at him deeply, seeing the intense confidence shining from his compelling eyes, no longer hesitating, she said, ¡°Okay.¡± However, at this time, Tan Yuying shouted, ¡°What? You lead the surgery? Are you kidding me? You¡¯ve just graduated from college, have you ever held a scalpel? If something goes wrong with my son, who will be responsible?¡± Confronted with Tan Yuying¡¯s doubts, Ye Haochuan felt a bit aggrieved and said, ¡°If there is a problem, I will take responsibility.¡± ¡°You take responsibility? sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Can you bear the responsibility?¡± Li Tianwei also said angrily, ¡°Doctor Kou, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re the chief physician, right? And you actually let a new college graduate be the lead surgeon, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s absurd?¡± Kou Jing, with a troubled face, responded, ¡°Both of you, although Doctor Ye has just graduated from college, his medical skills are excellent. As you¡¯ve seen just now, without any instruments, he diagnosed your son¡¯s injuries. Now your son¡¯s condition is critical, we can¡¯t delay anymore.¡± ¡°I admit, the young man has a knack for diagnosing, but he¡¯s just graduated from college, has he ever held a scalpel?¡± Saying this, Tan Yuying questioned harshly, ¡°I¡¯m asking you, have you ever held a scalpel?¡± Growing increasingly impatient, Ye Haochuan, who had good intentions of saving a life yet faced such unwarranted suspicions, said coldly, ¡°So what if I haven¡¯t held a scalpel before? Does that mean I can¡¯t save your son? Damn it, if it wasn¡¯t for the medical practitioner¡¯s parental heart, I couldn¡¯t care less about your son¡¯s life or death.¡± Seeing the patient growing weaker and death not far off, Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t want to talk any further and quickly approached, using the Acupoint Tapping Technique passed down by the Holy Hand, he channeled the Longevity True Qi from his Dantian, concentrating it at his fingertips. He then tapped rapidly at several acupoints on the patient¡¯s chest. Strangely enough, the patient on the bed, who had been bleeding profusely, started to show signs of improvement following Ye Haochuan¡¯s rapid acupoint tapping. Watching this scene, Kou Jing and the other nurses were all dumbfounded, their eyes reflecting admiration and thinking to themselves, he¡¯s so skilled. Unfortunately, Ye Haochuan¡¯s earlier words had infuriated Tan Yuying, who screamed irrationally, ¡°Bastard, what are you poking at my son for? Didn¡¯t you realize my son is seriously injured?¡± Chapter 7 - 7 7 Beg Me! ?7: Chapter 7 Beg Me! 7: Chapter 7 Beg Me! Hearing Tan Yuying¡¯s accusation against Ye Haochuan, Kou Jing, Han Xue¡¯er, and the other women all felt indignant. Are you, as his mother, blind? Had Ye Haochuan not acted just now, wouldn¡¯t your son have already died? Kou Jing felt it necessary to help Ye Haochuan out and hurriedly explained, ¡°Ma¡¯am, you misunderstood. You should have seen it yourself, if Doctor Ye hadn¡¯t stepped in, your son would still be coughing up blood nonstop.¡± Tan Yuying, completely consumed by anger, shouted, ¡°Did I ask him to step in? You¡¯re a doctor too, can¡¯t you save my son?¡± How can this woman be so unreasonable? Kou Jing was displeased but still held her temper, though with less respect, ¡°Ma¡¯am, I would certainly save your son, but he is severely injured, and I am not confident that I could bring him back to life.¡± ¡°Not confident? If you¡¯re not confident, then what right do you have to be the attending doctor?¡± Tan Yuying shouted loudly. Kou Jing¡¯s pretty face immediately darkened. Although she hadn¡¯t been at Haishan University Hospital long, she had been conscientious and diligent, and no one had ever said she was unfit to be the attending doctor. The harsh words of this lady in front of her were a sheer insult. ¡°Can¡¯t you curse a little less? Your son is still in danger!¡± Seeing the beautiful doctor criticized by Tan Yuying, Ye Haochuan got angry. Damn, this woman is really behaving like a dog, biting anyone she sees. When Tan Yuying saw Ye Haochuan talk back to her, she became furious, pointed at his nose, and yelled loudly, ¡°Who are you to talk to me like that? Get lost right now, or I will have the security throw you out!¡± ¡°Fine, very good!¡± Ye Haochuan said, infuriated yet laughing, ¡°A dog bites Lv Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart. Since you don¡¯t need me to save your son, then I¡¯ll just leave!¡± Having said that, he walked away briskly.

Tan Yuying scoffed, ¡°Don¡¯t think that without you, no one else can save my son.¡± Seeing Ye Haochen leaving the ward, Kou Jing became anxious. From the expert Acupoint Tapping Technique he had shown earlier, it was clear he was highly skilled, and he might indeed have a way to save this critically injured male student. So, she hurriedly chased after him, grabbed his hand, and pleaded, ¡°Ye Haochuan, don¡¯t go. It¡¯s normal for his parents to lose their sanity. You can¡¯t just ignore the injured, right? I can see that your medical skills are truly exceptional, even better than mine.¡± Feeling the warmth from her palm and seeing the pleading look on her face, an involuntary stir touched Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart. He hooked his finger in her palm and, lowering his voice, chuckled, ¡°Then are you still calling me a pervert?¡± Feeling a tickling sensation in her palm, Kou Jing¡¯s heart skipped a beat. This pervert¡ªeveryone in the ward is watching. ¡°Are you staying or not?¡± Kou Jing bit her lip, enduring the bashfulness as she coldly asked. Her personality was usually cold, and for her, a woman, to plead with a man to stay was truly unprecedented and inevitably caused her to feel extremely shy. Ye Haochuan found it amusing. Was this the attitude of someone asking for help? He said, ¡°If you want me to stay, ask me nicely!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Kou Jing, infuriated, her chest heaving with anger, said, ¡°Don¡¯t be too much, Ye Haochuan, I would rather die than beg you.¡± ¡°Then forget it. After all, the patient¡¯s parents don¡¯t like me. I don¡¯t want to go back in and get scolded for no reason,¡± Ye Haochuan replied. This pervert, he truly has no medical ethics. Given his excellent skills, how could he ignore a human life? Kou Jing glared at Ye Haochuan hatefully and said, ¡°Fine, go ahead and leave, and don¡¯t come back!¡± Ye Haochuan just smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and walked away without another word. This pervert, he¡¯s really leaving? Kou Jing stomped her foot in frustration. Just then, a loud shout from Han Xue¡¯er came from the ward, ¡°It¡¯s bad, Doctor Kou, he¡¯s coughing up blood again.¡± Kou Jing turned her head and saw that indeed, the patient on the bed had started coughing up blood again, and it was quite severe. Looking at Ye Haochuan, he seemed indifferent, continuing to walk away. At this point, she had no choice but to lower her dignity and beg that lecher. Kou Jing hurriedly called out to Ye Haochuan, ¡°Doctor Ye, come back, please come back, I¡¯m begging you to come back¡­¡± By the end, her voice was even tinged with tears. Ye Haochuan immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around, a smile on his face, ¡°Since it¡¯s Doctor Kou asking me to stay, why wouldn¡¯t I? Besides, saving a life is more important than building a seven-story pagoda! Helping others is my biggest flaw, haha.¡± That lecher was clearly doing it on purpose! Kou Jing was extremely annoyed, but now was not the time to lose her temper, the patient was the priority. The two returned to the monitoring room. Tan Yuying, concerned about her son¡¯s injuries, could no longer afford to argue with Ye Haochuan and pleaded with Kou Jing, ¡°Doctor Kou, please I beg you to save my son.¡± Kou Jing shook her head, ¡°I told you, I can¡¯t do it, only he can.¡± Tan Yuying was skeptical, ¡°Really? He just graduated, you must have more experience than him!¡± ¡°Believe it or not, that¡¯s up to you,¡± Kou Jing said. At this moment, Ye Haochuan stepped forward and barked at Tan Yuying, ¡°If you don¡¯t want your son to die, get out of my way!¡± ¡°How dare you, a mere doctor, be rude to me? Do you know who I am?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are! Even if you were the Queen, I wouldn¡¯t give a damn!¡± Ye Haochuan retorted coldly, then walked to the bedside and resumed the Acupoint Tapping Technique to stop the patient from coughing up blood. Tan Yuying was enraged again and was about to explode, but her husband Li Tianwei held her back, ¡°Keep it together¡­ this kid does have some skills, didn¡¯t you see our son¡¯s bleeding has stopped again?¡± ¡°But this kid just disrespected me!¡± Tan Yuying said resentfully. A cunning glint flickered in Li Tianwei¡¯s eyes, unique to businessmen, ¡°Let this kid save our son first, then watch how I¡¯ll help you deal with him!¡± Tan Yuying¡¯s eyes lit up, with her husband taking action, was there any swaggering guy they couldn¡¯t handle? At this time, Ye Haochuan, completely unaware of the plot by Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying, was fully invested in the treatment. After a while, he solemnly said to Han Xue¡¯er, ¡°Xue¡¯er, do we have an Acupuncture department at our university hospital? ¡­ Good, quickly go borrow a set of acupuncture needles!¡± Han Xue¡¯er, utterly mesmerized by his lifesaving efforts, had not noticed him addressing her until Kou Jing gave her a gentle nudge. Realizing the odd glances from around her, her face felt ablaze. ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll go get them now.¡± Having said that, Han Xue¡¯er, her face flushed, quickly ran off. Three minutes later, Han Xue¡¯er brought back a set of acupuncture needles, her head bowed, cheeks flushed, handing them to Ye Haochuan. At that moment, with saving lives being the priority, Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t notice her expression change and seriously opened the needle box, picked up a silver filiform needle, and activated his Dantian True Qi. Soon, Qi flowed within his body, gradually concentrating on the needle in his hand, and then he accurately inserted it into the patient¡¯s chest acupoint. Then, Ye Haochuan began to manipulate the needles with both hands, his movements growing faster, and in no time, several filiform needles were inserted into various acupoints. ¡°Alright, next, move to the operating room, it¡¯s time for surgery! Doctor Kou, I will lead, and you assist,¡± Ye Haochuan commanded. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª PS: This book has been officially contracted, please rest assured and add it to your favorites! Chapter 8 - 8 8 The Angry Director Wu ?8: Chapter 8: The Angry Director Wu 8: Chapter 8: The Angry Director Wu ¡°Okay.¡± Hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s order, Kou Jing, Han Xue¡¯er, and the others did not dare to delay and hurriedly pushed the hospital bed towards the operating room. Li Tianwei and his wife, Tan Yuying, quickly gave way and followed the hospital bed to the operating room. But is an operating room a place where random people can just enter? Thus, the couple was barred from entering. After waiting for about five minutes, a man in his thirties wearing glasses hurried along the corridor. He was none other than Wu Changjiang, the Director of Surgery at the Medical University Hospital. When it came to President Li Tianwei of the Heavenly Might Group, how could Wu Changjiang not recognize him? Therefore, as soon as he heard that his son was severely injured, he naturally did not dare to delay and rushed over from his home. ¡°President Li, President Tan, hello, I am Wu Changjiang, the Director of Surgery at the Medical University Hospital.¡± Wu Changjiang extended his hand. However, Li Tianwei didn¡¯t even glance at him, let alone shake his hand, but merely acknowledged him with an arrogant hum. Thinking of himself as the grand President of the Heavenly Might Group, someone whom even the mayor had to show some deference to, why should he show any pleasantness to Wu Changjiang, who clearly appeared to be a sycophant? Wu Changjiang¡¯s warm greeting was met with a cold reception; he felt somewhat embarrassed. Seeing a group of male students grinning and snickering at him outside the operating room, he rebuked on the spot, ¡°What are you all standing here for? Attending a wake? Get back to your evening self-study!¡± The male students, who had been waiting for the outcome of Brother Feng¡¯s injury, had no choice but to leave noisily upon hearing his words. ¡°Attending a wake?¡± Tan Yuying was quite displeased. Only then did Wu Changjiang realize his mistake. Wishing he could slap himself, he hurriedly tried to make amends with a smile, ¡°Sorry, sorry, President Tan, my words were inappropriate, please be magnanimous¡­¡± Tan Yuying gave him a cold look, her face full of disgust, ¡°Watch your words.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Wu Changjiang nodded and bowed continuously. Only then did Tan Yuying let him off. ¡°By the way, how is your son¡¯s injury?¡± Wu Changjiang asked with a grave expression on his face. ¡°He¡¯s still being resuscitated,¡± Li Tianwei said sternly. ¡°Both of you can rest assured, our Doctor Kou from the Medical University Hospital, though a female doctor, graduated from a prestigious Medical University and is quite skilled. I believe under her lead in the surgery, your son will be saved¡­¡± Wu Changjiang had long been smitten by his department¡¯s Kou Jing and had always tried to curry favor with her, hoping to win her over. Therefore, he had recommended her for the lead surgeon over the phone and naturally took every chance to praise her. However, before he could finish his sentence, Li Tianwei interjected impatiently, ¡°Are you sick? Doctor Kou isn¡¯t even the lead surgeon.¡± ¡°Not Doctor Kou?¡± Wu Changjiang was startled, ¡°Then who is the lead surgeon?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a new graduate from Medical University named Ye Haochuan,¡± Li Tianwei snorted. ¡°Ye Haochuan?¡± Wu Changjiang was baffled. As the one in charge of the surgery department at the Medical University Hospital, when had a figure like Ye Haochuan appeared in his department? At that moment, Tan Yuying said irritably, ¡°What kind of Director of Surgery are you? How can the medical staff under you be of such low quality? Especially that Ye Haochuan, he¡¯s arrogant and disrespectful, dared to talk back to me and was even outright rude!¡± Wu Changjiang furrowed his brow, he had to figure out what was going on with this Ye Haochuan. ¡°President Tan, calm down. I don¡¯t know this Ye Haochuan at all, and we don¡¯t have anyone by that name in our department.¡± ¡°What?¡± Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying looked at each other in surprise. Li Tianwei continued, ¡°Then who is Ye Haochuan?¡± After thinking for a moment, Tan Yuying said, ¡°Considering how close that kid seemed with Doctor Kou earlier, could he be Doctor Kou¡¯s boyfriend?¡± Kou Jing had just chased after Ye Haochuan and even held his hand, a scene she had seen quite clearly, which is why she harbored such suspicions. The speaker was unknowing, but the listener took it to heart. On hearing that Ye Haochuan was Kou Jing¡¯s boyfriend, Wu Changjiang¡¯s face turned green with fury. Damn it, he had gone out of his way to please her, even arranging for her to lead a surgery, and now she¡¯d sprung a boyfriend on him out of nowhere! ¡°Outrageous, this is utterly outrageous! S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I¡¯m going into the operating room and kicking that kid out!¡± As Wu Changjiang was about to slam the door of the operating room, Li Tianwei was startled and glared at him, ¡°What are you doing? They¡¯re in there saving my son. What if something goes wrong? Can you bear that responsibility?¡± Under the murderous gaze of President Li, Wu Changjiang dared not touch the door, and instead, brooded silently as he withdrew his hand. ¡°Director Wu, since that kid Ye Haochuan isn¡¯t from your hospital, we can handle this easily. After the surgery, if my son is saved, I won¡¯t make it difficult for him; just kick him out. But if my son doesn¡¯t survive, I¡¯ll make sure he pays dearly!¡± Tan Yuying said through gritted teeth. Poor Ye Haochuan, who knew that his earnest efforts to save a patient would earn the ire of the patient¡¯s parents? On hearing Tan Yuying¡¯s words, some doubts arose in Wu Changjiang¡¯s mind. Though he was unaware of why Ye Haochuan had fallen out of favor with her, one thing was clear: she took great exception to Ye Haochuan, and regardless of whether Ye Haochuan saved their son or not, she was intent on teaching him a lesson. That suited him well. Even if Ye Haochuan saved their son, he no longer had to worry about the attitudes of President Li and the others! ¡°President Li, President Tan, don¡¯t worry. After the surgery, watch how I deal with that Ye Haochuan,¡± Wu Changtian huffed. After about seven or eight minutes, the door to the operating room opened and Ye Haochuan walked out, looking utterly exhausted, supported on each side by the two girls, Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er. Seeing such an intimately flanked scene made Wu Changtian¡¯s eyes nearly blaze with rage. Damn it, it was bad enough that this guy had his sights on Han Xue¡¯er, but he was also not letting Kou Jing go. He had been silently in love with Kou Jing, the ice queen, for over half a year without even touching her fingertip. To think that Ye Haochuan, this pretty boy, had beat him to it! Looking at Ye Haochuan again, tall and handsome, he truly put him to shame, which only fueled his anger further. So, he stormed up and cursed loudly, ¡°You little bastard, who the hell are you? What are you doing in our hospital¡¯s operating room? Who gave you the right to perform surgery? Get the hell out of here now!¡± Ye Haochuan was furious, but since he was utterly drained from using all his True Qi in the operating room, he had no strength left even to speak. Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er were initially shocked, then furious. They had seen how hard Ye Haochuan had worked during the surgery, collapsing on the floor afterward. They couldn¡¯t believe he was being scolded by the director upon leaving the operating room. This was just too unfair! Kou Jing immediately defended Ye Haochuan on the spot, ¡°Director Wu, Doctor Ye has just started working here; you can¡¯t treat him like this!¡± Seeing his beloved defend the pretty boy, Wu Changtian lost his temper completely and roared irrationally, ¡°He¡¯s just started? Are you joking? Did I agree to it? Who approved his hiring? Does no one regard me as the director anymore?¡± Chapter 9 - 9 9 Naive Stupid Childish! ?9: Chapter 9 Naive, Stupid, Childish! 9: Chapter 9 Naive, Stupid, Childish! ¡°Who are these people? What does he have to do with the new doctor¡¯s induction? Is he head of the school¡¯s HR department?¡± Kou Jing inwardly criticized Director Wu¡¯s bureaucratic style with increasing disdain and said coldly, ¡°Director Wu, Doctor Ye¡¯s employment was approved by Chairman Xiao of the board of directors¡­¡± Seeing Kou Jing still speaking for Little Bai, Wu Changtian¡¯s anger intensified, ¡°What of it? Chairman Xiao is my brother-in-law. I could have this kid kicked out with just one word.¡± He was unaware of the recent personnel changes in the board of directors. He thought the chairman was still the wealthy heir who was his sister¡¯s lover, Xiao Ding, not knowing that his ¡°brother-in-law¡± had been ousted due to poor management and replaced by Xiao Haimei. This guy must have been indulging himself again at some entertainment venue, completely oblivious to the major personnel changes in the board. Kou Jing knew it was pointless to continue discussing with Director Wu, so she simply chose to ignore him. Just then, Ye Haochuan suddenly spoke to her, ¡°I need some peace¡­¡± Although his intention was to ask for some quiet, Wu Changtian misheard something else entirely. Wu Changtian exploded on the spot: ¡°You need peace? Peace my ass! Is Doctor Kou someone you can think about?¡± Kou Jing blushed deeply and trembled with mortification. This Director Wu was a real bastard¡ªhow could he spout such nonsense? Unbeknownst to her, the supported Ye Haochuan suddenly sneered, ¡°Director Wu, if a guy like me can¡¯t think about Doctor Kou, do you think a guy like you can?¡± Wu Changtian was instantly speechless, not expecting to be countered so sharply by this pretty face. Kou Jing was so embarrassed that even her ears turned crimson red. Fortunately, at that moment, Tan Yuying approached, anxiously asking, ¡°Doctor Kou, how is my son now?¡± ¡°He¡¯s been revived.¡± A smile appeared on Kou Jing¡¯s face. ¡°Thanks to Doctor Ye. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If he hadn¡¯t put all his efforts into the rescue, I fear¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. If anything had happened to my son, I would make sure he regretted it.¡± Tan Yuying glared at Ye Haochuan hatefully. Kou Jing was shocked; she hadn¡¯t expected that even after Ye Haochuan had saved the person, he would still be resented by the family member. Han Xue¡¯er felt it was incredibly unfair. Doctor Ye was completely exhausted from the effort, yet this Ms. Tan was being so harsh, showing no gratitude whatsoever. She indignantly said, ¡°President Tan, how can you speak like that? If it weren¡¯t for Doctor Ye¡¯s intervention, your son would have been a goner today, do you understand?¡± ¡°He chose to save him; what does that have to do with me? I didn¡¯t ask him to!¡± Tan Yuying sneered. ¡°Besides, when such an incident occurred at the school, shouldn¡¯t Haishan University have done their utmost to save him?¡± At this moment, Li Tianwei joined in, coldly saying, ¡°We haven¡¯t pursued his disrespectful contradiction; that alone is already a huge favor. What? Does he expect us to be grateful to him?¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan was extremely frustrated inside. Damn it, I¡¯m really too nice. If I had known this couple¡¯s attitude earlier, I would¡¯ve let their son die. Just as Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er were about to scold them, Ye Haochuan sneered, ¡°Today I¡¯ve truly experienced how shameless you unscrupulous businessmen can be in changing your faces. You probably think now that your son is revived, everything is fine, right? Na?ve, stupid, childish!¡± Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying¡¯s expressions changed. ¡°What?¡± Ye Haochuan, too tired to explain, told Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er in a grave tone, ¡°Help me back to the dorm; I need to rest.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er did as told. At that moment, Li Tianwei suddenly stepped in front of them, his tone harsh, ¡°Ye Haochuan, clarify your statement, or you won¡¯t be leaving.¡± Ye Haochuan retorted, ¡°I don¡¯t repeat myself. Get out of the way!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Li Tianwei trembled with anger. Thinking of his exalted status as the head of Tianwei Group, a man who called the shots in Haishan, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Watching Ye Haochuan about to be assisted away by Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er, Tan Yuying screamed, ¡°Ye Haochuan, don¡¯t think you¡¯re all that! Without you, there are plenty of experts and professors who can treat my son¡­ Honey, let¡¯s transfer our son to another hospital immediately.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Li Tianwei nodded. Just as Ye Haochuan was about to be helped away by Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er, on the other side, Wu Changtian grew more jealous and barked, ¡°Kou Jing, Han Xue¡¯er, you are doctors and nurses of our school hospital, meant to take care of patients. Who the hell is Ye Haochuan that he needs your care? Everyone come back and take care of President Li¡¯s son!¡± ¡°If care is needed, you can do it yourself!¡± Kou Jing responded coldly as frost. Wu Changtian roared, ¡°Good for you, Kou Jing, do you have no respect for your leaders anymore? Do you know who President Li is? He¡¯s a big shot in Haishan¡¯s business community, absolutely not someone to offend. Hurry back here, otherwise, you¡¯re fired.¡± ¡°Fire me then. Following a sycophant like you is shameful!¡± Having said that, Kou Jing gave Han Xue¡¯er a look and hurried away with Ye Haochuan. ¡°Rebellion, rebellion¡­¡± Wu Changtian was furious to the point of explosion. At that moment, Li Tianwei said coldly, ¡°Alright, Director Wu, later think of a way to fire all three of them. As medical staff, what kind of quality is this?¡± Even though he was furious, Wu Changtian dared not offend an influential figure like Li Tianwei, and quickly put on a smile, ¡°President Li is right, I¡¯ll have my brother-in-law fire them right away.¡± At this time, Tan Yuying said, ¡°Director Wu, you are the head of surgery, I need you to arrange for my son¡¯s transfer now.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll arrange that right now.¡± Inside the operating room, Wu Changtian immediately had several nurses prepare for the transfer of the injured patient. At that moment, he suddenly noticed the dozen or so silver filiform needles on the patient¡¯s chest. Frowning, he said, ¡°Why insert so many silver needles for a surgery? Pull them out.¡± The nurses dared not act, saying that Doctor Ye had strongly instructed not to remove them yet, as it might worsen the patient¡¯s condition. ¡°Have you all grown wings? Dare to disobey me? Pull them out!¡± Wu Changtian glared and shouted. Having been snubbed by Ye Haochuan and with his love interest snatched away, his temper was flaring, and the poor nurses ended up being his venting posts. Wu Changtian was not inept; he could tell the condition of the patient at a glance. Since President Li¡¯s son¡¯s body was already normal, why keep so many silver needles in? But he could never have expected that just as one nurse had managed to pull out a single needle, the patient on the bed began to cough up blood incessantly. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying¡¯s expressions changed. Even if they lacked medical knowledge, they knew what their son coughing up blood implied. Initially, Wu Changtian thought it was a minor issue and with his medical skills, resolving it would not be difficult. But once he actually got involved, he suddenly realized that the situation was far more complicated than he had envisioned. In a frantic attempt to administer emergency treatment, the situation only worsened, and the patient coughed up even more blood. Only then did Wu Changtian realize that pulling out the needle was a mistake and beyond his ability to remedy. The operating room was in chaos, and a nurse began to complain that he should not have removed the needle. Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying heard this and woke up to the reality, so furious they even thought of violently dealing with Director Wu. Tan Yuying immediately rushed up, grabbing and scratching Director Wu as she screamed, ¡°You bastard, everything was fine so why did you remove the needle? Why did you remove the needle¡­ I will fight you¡­¡± Chapter 10 - 10 10 I Wont Go! ?10: Chapter 10: I Won¡¯t Go! 10: Chapter 10: I Won¡¯t Go! It didn¡¯t take long for Wu Changtian to make Tan Yuying bruised and battered, and what frustrated him the most was that he couldn¡¯t fight back at all. Although Li Tianwei was somewhat calmer, his teeth-gritting expression looked like he wanted nothing more than to flay the bastard alive. Wu Changtian, holding his face and on the verge of tears, caught Li Tianwei¡¯s murderous gaze and hastily said, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll just reinsert the Silver Needle.¡± Despite being a surgical director, he had some skill in Acupuncture Techniques, and believed that reinserting the Silver Needle into the correct acupoints would improve President Li¡¯s son¡¯s condition. But reality played a cruel joke on him. After he inserted the Silver Needle back into its original acupoints, President Li¡¯s son showed no signs of improvement; instead, his condition worsened visibly, with blood spilling from his mouth and even his nostrils bleeding. It was all over, over! Wu Changtian was sweating profusely; his hands shook more and more violently. What the hell was going on? The same act of needling, why did Ye Haochuan see results and he did not? That¡¯s when a nurse suddenly said, ¡°It looks like we¡¯ll have to call Doctor Ye.¡± Li Tianwei snapped to his senses and barked at Wu Changtian, ¡°You quack, what are you freezing for? Hurry up and call Doctor Ye! If you can¡¯t get Doctor Ye here, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± He knew very well that he and his wife had gone too far just now and had hurt Doctor Ye¡¯s feelings. If he and his wife went to call him, with Doctor Ye¡¯s pride, he definitely wouldn¡¯t come. Besides, what was his and his wife¡¯s status? Going to invite a Nameless doctor would only lower their own worth if word got out. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go call him right now.¡± Wu Changtian was scared out of his wits, feeling incredibly humiliated as well. Since when had he ever been called a quack? At this very moment, in Ye Haochuan¡¯s dormitory. With the help of Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er, Ye Haochuan sat up at the head of the bed and began to meditate and regulate his breath. The Longevity Technique was truly mystical; in just a few minutes, the previously listless Ye Haochuan gradually regained his vibrancy and hopped off the bed. Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er were greatly surprised. Kou Jing asked, ¡°What¡¯s your secret? How did you recover so quickly?¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s all about the art of health preservation. As medical practitioners, how can we not understand health preservation?¡± Han Xue¡¯er, infatuated, said, ¡°Doctor Ye looks so capable, and I want to learn too. To stay forever young¡ªDoctor Ye, could you teach me?¡± Before Ye Haochuan could answer, Kou Jing shook her head and said, ¡°Xue¡¯er, there are plenty of health preservation methods out there, and you can find them on the internet. There¡¯s no need to ask him to teach you.¡± Ye Haochuan wasn¡¯t pleased and said, ¡°Doctor Kou, I don¡¯t like the sound of that. My method of health preservation is not something you can compare to those on the internet. It not only helps maintain youth, but it also nourishes the skin, and it can even treat menstrual irregularities and abnormal vaginal discharge¡­¡± Kou Jing flushed, feeling embarrassed. What nonsense was he talking about? No way she¡¯d believe it! But Han Xue¡¯er took Ye Haochuan¡¯s words as gospel, coaxingly said, ¡°Doctor Ye, why not just teach me your method of health preservation?¡± ¡°Teaching you is fine, but what¡¯s in it for me?¡± Ye Haochuan grinned mischievously. ¡°I¡­ I could just pay you,¡± Han Xue¡¯er said coquettishly. ¡°Don¡¯t talk to Brother about money, talking about money hurts feelings,¡± Ye Haochuan said with firm righteousness. Han Xue¡¯er clapped her hands with joy, ¡°Not talking about money is good, not talking about money is good, I knew Doctor Ye is the best.¡± ¡°We might not discuss money, but we can talk about affection, right? So how about it, just call out ¡®Brother Ye¡¯ for me to hear,¡± Ye Haochuan let his true colors show. ¡°Doctor Ye, you¡¯re so naughty, I don¡¯t want to call you ¡®brother¡¯,¡± Han Xue¡¯er said, her face blushing. Kou Jing, listening to the conversation, saw her recently formed good impression of Ye Haochuan vanish completely. What a lecher¡ªhe was really bad. Now making Xue¡¯er call him ¡®brother,¡¯ and who knows what more embarrassing things he might ask for later. For a moment, shameless! Faceless! Libertine!¡­ all kinds of words were silently uttered in her mind. ¡°Hey, calling me ¡®Brother Ye¡¯ isn¡¯t so bad, you know. At the very least, ¡®Brother Ye¡¯ can make sure you don¡¯t get your period for ten months,¡± Ye Haochuan said with an ill-intentioned look. ¡°Really? Can it really stop my period for ten months?¡± Han Xue¡¯er asked doubtfully. ¡°Of course!¡± But Kou Jing could tell what Ye Haochuan meant, and she was so angry that she ground her teeth. This pervert was simply too shameless. ¡°Xue¡¯er, don¡¯t listen to him, he¡¯s taking advantage of you¡­¡± As she spoke, Kou Jing revealed Ye Haochuan¡¯s intentions. ¡°Ah!¡± It was then that Han Xue¡¯er understood. This big pervert wanted her to get pregnant. If she got pregnant, wouldn¡¯t she miss her period for ten months? Gosh, this pervert was too bad, utterly rotten to the core. For a moment, she became even more embarrassed and annoyed, her little head almost drooping to her prominent breasts. However, this shy demeanor was truly heart-stirring and incredibly tempting. ¡°Xue¡¯er, let¡¯s go. Doctor Ye needs to rest well,¡± Kou Jing thought they couldn¡¯t stay any longer. Ye Haochuan was too despicable, so she found an excuse to leave. ¡°Oh,¡± Han Xue¡¯er obediently responded. Seeing the situation, Ye Haochuan knew Kou Jing had something against him, so he deliberately smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine, I¡¯d like some peace and quiet¡­¡± Under normal circumstances, this would have been an ordinary statement, but he was not only staring directly at Kou Jing when he spoke, but his tone was also peculiar. With Director Wu having caused a scene previously, how could Kou Jing not know he was implying something about her? ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Doctor Kou, can¡¯t I wish for some peace and quiet?¡± ¡°Such a slick talker!¡± Kou Jing was so angry her face turned red. She didn¡¯t want to stay here another moment, opened the door, and prepared to leave with Han Xue¡¯er. Just at that moment, Wu Changtian arrived out of breath. Seeing Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s embarrassed appearances, he thought Ye Haochuan had taken advantage of them and was immediately furious. However, he had to deal with President Li¡¯s situation first; otherwise, he could kiss his position as director goodbye. Without the title, how could he pursue Kou Jing, this icy beauty? ¡°Ye Haochuan, President Li¡¯s son¡¯s condition has worsened, hurry and come to the operating room with me¡­¡± Wu Changtian said coldly. ¡°What has that got to do with me? I¡¯m not going!¡± Ye Haochuan sneered. What a joke, if I went again, would I not have my head caught in the door? sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wu Changtian sneered, ¡°Not going? Humph, Ye Haochuan, you broke regulations by operating on President Li¡¯s son. Now that there¡¯s a complication, you wash your hands of it. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being held responsible?¡± He assumed that since Ye Haochuan had just graduated from college and wasn¡¯t savvy about the ways of the world, this statement would scare him to the point of wetting his pants. In order to keep his job as a doctor, he would definitely follow him without protest. Unfortunately for him, he miscalculated. ¡°Held responsible? I brought the patient back to life, fulfilling my duty as a medical practitioner with a conscience. I have a clear conscience. Whatever complications arise afterward are your responsibility. Get lost, I¡¯m not going.¡± Wu Changtian¡¯s expression darkened, and he said sternly, ¡°Ye Haochuan, don¡¯t be a fucking ingrate! I¡¯m asking you one more time, are you going or not?¡± Ye Haochuan stood up and said loudly, ¡°I¡¯ll say it one more time too, I¡¯m not going! Not going!¡± Wu Changtian completely lost it. ¡°You little shit, you¡¯ll regret it if you don¡¯t take the easy way out. Just you wait.¡± Wu Changtian stormed off, fuming. Seeing this situation, Kou Jing urgently said, ¡°Doctor Ye, you should still check on him. If something happens, you¡¯ll be in trouble. They might make a big deal out of you breaking regulations to operate.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± A few minutes later, Wu Changtian appeared before Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying, trembling with fear. The condition of the young master on the hospital bed was still perilous; although not at its most critical, the bleeding from his mouth and nose continued. Several nurses were busily tending to him in a panic. ¡°Where¡¯s Doctor Ye?¡± Li Tianwei¡¯s stern face fell when he didn¡¯t see Ye Haochuan following. Chapter 11 - 11 11 Is It Only Worth 5000 Yuan ?11: Chapter 11 Is It Only Worth 5000 Yuan? 11: Chapter 11 Is It Only Worth 5000 Yuan? ¡°That kid¡­ that kid refuses to come.¡± Wu Changtian¡¯s legs went weak under Li Tianwei¡¯s gaze. ¡°Useless!¡± Li Tianwei cursed, ¡°Get lost, get out! Get out!!!¡± Tan Yuying screamed on the spot, ¡°What do you mean ¡®get out¡¯? Throw him out, throw him out!¡± ¡°Ah! No!¡± Wu Changtian¡¯s face turned pale with fright right there and then. Two bodyguards, built like towers, approached without a word and carried Wu Changtian away, tossing him out of the operating room like trash. ¡°You three, go, bring me Ye Haochuan. If he dares not come, tie him up and bring him here!¡± Li Tianwei ordered the three bodyguards. ¡°Yes, Boss!¡± A few minutes later, the three bodyguards inquired their way and found Ye Haochuan¡¯s dormitory. At that time, Ye Haochuan was sitting in meditation at his bedside, turning a deaf ear to Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s persuasive words. ¡°Ye Haochuan, hurry up and come with us.¡± S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When Ye Haochuan opened his eyes and looked up, he saw Li Tianwei¡¯s underlings barking orders at him, which made him furious. Dammit, so the rich think they¡¯re something special? Soft approach didn¡¯t work, so now they¡¯re playing tough? ¡°What if I don¡¯t go with you?¡± Ye Haochuan stopped meditating and stood up abruptly. Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er could tell that these bodyguards meant trouble and were immediately very anxious. The leader of the bodyguards then bellowed, ¡°You¡¯ve got some nerve, even daring to ignore President Li¡¯s words. Do you really think you¡¯re an onion? I¡¯ll ask you one more time, are you going or not?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going! I¡¯m not going!¡± Ye Haochuan yelled. The bodyguard was furious, ¡°Guys, give him a beating until he agrees to go!¡± The two bodyguards behind him grunted, stepped forward, and prepared to teach Ye Haochuan a lesson. Ye Haochuan was utterly enraged. Was there no justice left? Refuse to treat Li¡¯s son and they resort to force? Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er shouted in unison, ¡°This is a hospital, you can¡¯t do this!¡± But it was no use; the leading bodyguard glared at them, ¡°This has nothing to do with you, step aside.¡± Kou Jing wanted to say more, but Ye Haochuan pulled her back and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Doctor Kou, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t even consider these black-skinned dogs worth my attention.¡± ¡°Who are you calling black-skinned dogs?¡± As he spoke, the two bodyguards had already reached him and tried to grab his shoulders from both sides, intending to drag him out for a harsh beating. Ye Haochuan activated his Longevity True Qi, reached back with his hand, grabbed the wrists of the two bodyguards, and twisted hard. Crack! Crack! The arms of the two bodyguards dislocated at the joints, and they immediately cried out in pain, falling to their knees on the ground. The remaining bodyguard leader was shocked, not expecting the young man in front of him to have such martial skills, easily overpowering his two subordinates. ¡°Damn! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The head bodyguard charged forward, throwing a straight punch at Ye Haochuan¡¯s face. Ye Haochuan dodged by tilting his head, then lifted his leg in a kick, striking the bodyguard¡¯s lower abdomen. The leader of the bodyguards screamed in pain and was sent flying backwards, vomiting blood profusely, with blood foaming in his mouth like fish bubbles. Seeing him defeat the three men effortlessly, Kou Jing watched, dumbfounded. But Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s eyes sparkled with admiration. Which girl wouldn¡¯t like a hero who doesn¡¯t cower before power? Especially when Ye Haochuan was so handsome! ¡°You call yourselves bodyguards with those skills? Get lost!¡± Ye Haochuan let out a breath of foul air, feeling incredibly satisfied. The three bodyguards scrambled away, tumbling and crawling. ¡°Brother Ye, you¡¯re so amazing!¡± Han Xue¡¯er clapped and exclaimed. Oh boy, being called ¡®Brother Ye¡¯ sure feels damn good! Ye Haochuan beamed with happiness, as he caressed her delicate cheek, ¡°Xue¡¯er, be good, Brother will give you a lollipop later.¡± Then he added mentally: made of meat, hehe! ¡°I hate you!¡± Han Xue¡¯er was extremely annoyed and embarrassed. She was grown up and, aside from her father, no other guy had ever touched her cheek or taken advantage of her like this. Looking at Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s infinitely shy and tempting appearance, Ye Haochuan felt his heart heat up and blinked, asking, ¡°By the way, Xue¡¯er, when you eat a lollipop, do you prefer holding it with both hands or just one hand?¡± With an adorably foolish pout, Han Xue¡¯er replied, ¡°Of course, with one hand.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed out loud. Han Xue¡¯er was confused, ¡°What are you laughing at, Brother Ye?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s ignore this debaucher!¡± Kou Jing, however, caught on and pulled Han Xue¡¯er to flee, cursing internally: lecher, big lecher, utterly despicable! In the dorm, only Ye Haochuan¡¯s loud laughter echoed, not ceasing for a long time. Just as the two women left, Ye Haochuan closed the door and resumed his meditation. After merely five minutes, there was another series of urgent knocks at the door. Damn, not again! Ye Haochuan, out of spite, chose to ignore it, but the knocking persisted, making it impossible for him to concentrate on cultivating the Longevity Technique. ¡°Damn, so annoying!¡± Ye Haochuan leaped off the bed, yanked the door open, ready to curse whoever it was, but stopped upon seeing that the visitor was the beautiful Chairman Xiao Haimie. She was no longer in her efficient office lady outfit from the daytime but had changed into a light purple silk dress that draped to the floor, exposing her smooth ivory arms and unintentionally invoking a strong desire to conquer. Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva, thinking that the beautiful chairman was irresistibly bewitching! Behind Xiao Haimie stood the couple Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying. Seeing the couple behaving so docilely, it was clear they knew about the three bodyguards who had been severely dealt with. Furthermore, knowing that Ye Haochuan was not to be trifled with, but needing to save their son¡¯s life, they had no choice but to pull in Chairman Xiao of Haishan University. ¡°Chairman Xiao, what brings you here?¡± Ye Haochuan wouldn¡¯t be rude to Xiao Haimie, who had once helped him. ¡°I¡¯ve come to ask for the services of the Divine Doctor to treat my nephew¡¯s injuries,¡± Xiao Haimie said, a smile gracing her mature and glamorous face. ¡°That guy in the hospital bed is your nephew?¡± Ye Haochuan was surprised. ¡°The genuine article,¡± Xiao Haimie nodded, ¡°How about it? Doing your sister a favor, could you heal him?¡± Sister? Ye Haochuan chuckled, noting how the pretty chairman liked to get her way. But considering age, she was indeed older than him, more than enough to be called ¡®sister¡¯. ¡°Sister Mei, well, that can be arranged. I can do you this favor, but what about others who¡¯ve been disrespecting me? How do we settle that?¡± Ye Haochuan said, glancing at the couple Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying. Li Tianwei, who had made his own way to his current status, was no pushover and immediately understood Ye Haochuan¡¯s implied meaning. He was evidently waiting for Li Tianwei to make a statement! ¡°Young man, I¡¯m sorry, I was blind to not recognize Mount Tai earlier. Please be magnanimous and forgive my previous attitude. My son¡¯s life is hanging by a thread, and I need your extraordinary abilities to save him,¡± Li Tianwei said in a low and humble voice. Damn, where was this earlier? Ye Haochuan was a bit displeased. Although saving lives was his duty, he didn¡¯t want to agree too easily and said, ¡°I dare not. There are plenty of experts and professors who can save President Li¡¯s son. Why bother coming to me?¡± Li Tianwei was extremely embarrassed, but now, for the sake of his son, he had to swallow his pride, ¡°I was an idiot earlier, please don¡¯t take it to heart. Alright, if you agree to save my son, I will give you five thousand dollars.¡± With a mocking smile, Ye Haochuan said, ¡°So, President Li, your son¡¯s life is only worth five thousand dollars?¡± Chapter 12 - 12 12 You Only Have Eyes for Money! ?12: Chapter 12 You Only Have Eyes for Money! 12: Chapter 12 You Only Have Eyes for Money! Li Tianwei immediately realized he had misspoken and hastily said, ¡°Oh no, not five thousand, I¡¯ll give ten thousand¡­ oh no, one hundred thousand!¡± Ye Haochuan gave a cold laugh and interrupted, ¡°Do you wealthy people really think money can solve everything?¡± Tan Yuying¡¯s face turned ugly right away, and she said loudly, ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be ungrateful when people are trying to be nice to you. We¡¯re humbling ourselves by asking for your help, and you¡¯d better not push your luck!¡± What the hell, mumbling like this, you call that humbling yourselves? Very displeased, Ye Haochuan said, ¡°Who is pushing their luck? Have I made any unreasonable demands?¡± Tan Yuying, with a face full of disdain, said, ¡°Let¡¯s cut the crap and talk straight. Name your price as long as you treat my son, everything is negotiable.¡± Ye Haochuan got angry, thinking, damn it, what kind of person do they think I am? sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Am I someone who¡¯s swayed by money? What I want is respect, dignity, understand? He snorted coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t think so lowly of me. If you think money can save your son, then you are terribly wrong.¡± Tan Yuying said angrily, ¡°What kind of attitude is this? Do you believe that I could get Haimie to kick you out of the campus clinic?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Li Tianwei couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and scolded his wife on the spot, ¡°Our son is almost gone, and you¡¯re still causing a scene here. Do you still want to save our son or not?¡± ¡°But look at this kid¡¯s attitude¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about his attitude; I¡¯m asking about your attitude!¡± Li Tianwei chastised furiously, ¡°Is this how you ask for help?¡± Since getting married, her husband had never been this angry, and Tan Yuying was suddenly choked up and couldn¡¯t believe it. Xiao Haimei hurriedly advised, ¡°Sister Tan, please calm down. Since Young Master Feng is in such a critical condition, and since we are asking for help, could you at least lower your attitude?¡± Only then did Tan Yuying simmer down. Right at that moment, a bodyguard who stayed in the operating room called, his tone anxious, ¡°Boss, it¡¯s not good, Young Master Feng¡¯s injury has worsened¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s worsened¡­¡± Hearing this news, Li Tianwei felt as if struck by lightning. In a panic, Tan Yuying grabbed Ye Haochuan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I was wrong just now, please, save my son¡­ I will give you a lot of money, really, a lot of money¡­¡± Ye Haochuan violently shook off Tan Yuying¡¯s hand, shouting, ¡°Money, money, money, is that all you can see! Go find a doctor who¡¯s after your money to treat your son!¡± He turned on his heel and left. It was only then that Tan Yuying completely sobered up, realizing the other party wasn¡¯t after her money. She quickly clung to his legs, crying and begging, ¡°Young man, I was wrong, truly wrong, please I¡¯m begging you¡­¡± Ye Haochuan tried to break free several times without success, but seeing her so pitiful, his heart couldn¡¯t help but soften a bit. By that point, Li Tianwei couldn¡¯t care less about his face and pleaded, ¡°Young man, I am kneeling down for you, we really made a mistake, please save our son.¡± Seeing them like this, even Ye Haochuan, who had a heart of stone, couldn¡¯t help but soften, sighed and thought to himself, forget it, now that they have realized their mistake, if I don¡¯t care at all, then I would be the one in the wrong. ¡°Remember this, you can¡¯t judge a person by their appearance or the sea by its water. Don¡¯t think you¡¯re the boss because you have money. In front of health and life, everyone is equal, no matter how rich or poor.¡± When he reached the operating room, Ye Haochuan noticed that one of the Silver Needles was missing and frowned, ¡°Who pulled out the needle I placed? Haven¡¯t I repeatedly stressed this? The patient is in unstable condition, and these Silver Needles are crucial for stopping the bleeding¡­¡± A nurse in the operating room whispered, ¡°Director Wu ordered us to remove it.¡± ¡°This Director Wu, isn¡¯t that endangering a life? Luckily only one was removed, otherwise Young Master Feng would have already been dead.¡± Hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s words, Li Tianwei¡¯s face turned ashen. This Director Wu had almost killed his son. Tan Yuying was even angrier as she said to Xiao Haimie, ¡°Haimie, fire that bastard named Wu immediately.¡± Xiao Haimie bit her silver teeth; this Wu Changtian had been nothing but trouble, causing a minor issue with the Tianwei Group. But if this medical accident were to cause a scandal, it could be a major problem if Haishan University¡¯s reputation were ruined. Pulling out her mobile phone, Xiao Haimie dialed Wu Changtian¡¯s number: ¡°Wu Changtian, listen up, starting tomorrow, pack your things and get lost!¡± On the other end of the phone, Wu Changtian, who had been nervously awaiting the outcome, cried and fainted in the restroom upon hearing this. At that moment, Ye Haochuan reinserted the silver needle he had pulled out, and miraculously, President Li¡¯s son, Young Master Feng, stopped spitting blood and gradually stabilized. Li Tianwei and his wife, Tan Yuying, were endlessly grateful. Li Tianwei was even willing to write a check for one hundred thousand yuan to show his gratitude, but he was rejected on the spot. ¡°Since I am part of the university hospital, it is my duty to be responsible for the life and health of all teachers and students. If you want to express gratitude, thank Xiao Chairwoman. If she hadn¡¯t hired me, how could I be here to treat your son?¡± Hearing his words, Li Tianwei and his wife felt both shocked and impressed, and they were embarrassed about how they had maligned him earlier. Xiao Haimie clearly hadn¡¯t expected him to credit her for the success, and she began to reassess him, her beautiful eyes sizing him up. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this lecher, who didn¡¯t boast about his accomplishments, was much more adorable than before. ¡°Ye Haochuan, take it. This is a token of appreciation from President Li and President Tan. Don¡¯t worry, I give you permission,¡± Xiao Haimie said with a smile. Ye Haochuan was still somewhat hesitant. ¡°In the future, when you inevitably run into He Yun on campus, don¡¯t you want to be able to hold your head high in front of her?¡± Xiao Haimie¡¯s words hit Ye Haochuan right where it hurt. He wanted He Yun, that money-worshipper, to regret, didn¡¯t he? And what could make her regret other than him becoming a wealthy man? ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll accept it without shame.¡± Seeing him accept it, Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying burst into smiles and said they would invite him for a meal to express their thanks once their son had recovered. After leaving the operating room, Xiao Haimie looked at Ye Haochuan with a smile and said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that this unintentional act of mine would bring such a Junior Godly Doctor here. Without you, who knows how President Li and his family would be suing our university right now.¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s why people should do more good deeds, you never know when you¡¯ll be repaid.¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± ¡°By the way, Sister Mei, having made such a great contribution to the university, shouldn¡¯t the school also give me some reward?¡± ¡°President Li just gave you a check for one hundred thousand yuan, aren¡¯t you satisfied?¡± Xiao Haimie laughed softly. After swallowing hard, Ye Haochuan said, ¡°Please, Sister Mei, don¡¯t think so poorly of me. The reward I am asking for has nothing to do with money.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Xiao Haimie became curious, ¡°Then what reward do you want? Honestly, you¡¯ve done a great service for our school, I¡¯ll give you any reward within my power.¡± ¡°Really, any reward?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes lit up. Watching his clear yet somewhat mischievous eyes, Xiao Haimie suddenly had a bad feeling; this guy was a pervert, and he might make some inappropriate demand. ¡°Alright, I only want one reward. I¡­ want¡­ you¡­¡± Xiao Haimie¡¯s expression changed immediately, and she screamed, ¡°Bastard, pervert, I¡­ I will not agree to your request. You are not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª PS: The contract signing has been mailed, feel free to collect with confidence!

Ye Haochuan found it amusing; the beautiful chairwoman really was too interesting, couldn¡¯t she take even a small joke? He blinked and chuckled, ¡°Sister Mei, I need you to look up a girl named Lin Qingxuan for me. She¡¯s also a student at Haishan University. What does this have to do with any indecent thoughts I might have towards you? Dragon Roar tasked him with protecting this Lin Qingxuan, but he provided no information regarding the girl. Dragon Roar had said he couldn¡¯t initiate contact, so the search was up to him alone. ¡°You¡­¡± Hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s words left Xiao Haimie feeling extremely embarrassed. This Casanova was too wicked, utterly shameless, and she had fallen right into his trap. ¡°Sister Mei? The favor I¡¯m asking for isn¡¯t too much trouble, is it?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. With a hand to her chest to calm her racing heart, Xiao Haimie shot him a sideways glance and said, ¡°It¡¯s not exactly difficult. But I¡¯m a little curious¡ªwho is this Lin Qingxuan to you? Your¡­ new girlfriend?¡± By the end, her smile was both mocking and amused. It must be said, her smile was really captivating and very elegant. The shallow dimples revealed at the corners of her mouth added further charm to her allure. In fact, Xiao Haimie lived up to her name, naturally enchanting. Her every word wielded immense power over men. Watching her smile so bewitchingly, Ye Haochuan felt his bones turning to jelly. ¡°Don¡¯t think so poorly of me. I¡¯ve only just broken up with He Yun and haven¡¯t even gotten over the last relationship. How could I possibly be looking for someone new already?¡± Ye Haochuan said earnestly. Trust this big Casanova? As if! Xiao Haimie sneered inwardly and asked, ¡°Which faculty is she from, then? And what¡¯s her major?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that; I only know her name is Lin Qingxuan, and she¡¯s a freshman.¡± ¡°If you know so little about her, why are you looking for her?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a task entrusted to me, and I¡¯m just being loyal to the person who asked for help.¡± At this point, Ye Haochuan internally scoffed at Dragon Roar. Damn, if you ask me to protect someone, couldn¡¯t you at least give me their full details? ¡°All right, I¡¯ll have the administrator in charge of student records to check it out. I¡¯ll give you an answer by tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thank you then, Sister Mei,¡± he said. ¡°What is there to thank me for?¡± Xiao Haimie asked, suddenly furrowing her brows. Ye Haochuan found that odd, seeing her gently massage the back of her neck. A thought occurred to him, and with Perspective, he saw her cervical vertebra slightly misaligned, causing her discomfort. ¡°Ah, um¡­ Sister Mei, your neck seems a bit uncomfortable, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Ye Haochuan inquired. ¡°How did you know?¡± Xiao Haimie was startled. Without answering directly, Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not just your neck, your lumbar spine has issues too, right?¡± ¡°You noticed that too?¡± Xiao Haimie said in surprise. Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°I am a doctor, after all. If I couldn¡¯t see that, I wouldn¡¯t deserve to practice medicine.¡± ¡°Hehe, I¡¯d almost forgotten you were a doctor,¡± Xiao Haimie moved her neck, exhaling a long sigh. ¡°Due to work, there will always be some occupational hazards; it can¡¯t be helped.¡± ¡°Sister Mei, you should really take more care of yourself. Health is the capital of the revolution. Oh, I have some expertise in massage and physiotherapy. How about I give you a massage? Don¡¯t worry; it¡¯s on the house, hehe.¡± Xiao Haimie, however, looked at him warily. On the house? Sounds nicer than singing. Aren¡¯t you just trying to take advantage of this lady? ¡°Forget about it, the school health clinic has a massage therapy department, and Doctor Kou is very skilled at it. She often does massages for me,¡± Xiao Haimei said. ¡°Sister Mei, I know Doctor Kou¡¯s massage therapy is good, but can she compare with me? S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Without any false modesty, when she gives you a massage, it simply eases the pain in your neck and lower back. I, on the other hand, can completely cure your ailments,¡± he claimed boldly. Looking at how earnest he was, Xiao Haimei was somewhat skeptical, ¡°Really?¡± If her pain could be completely cured, she¡¯d rather give Ye Haochuan a try, but this guy was too lecherous. ¡°If I can¡¯t cure it, you can ride me for a lifetime,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a sly chuckle. Xiao Haimei didn¡¯t catch the filthy insinuation in his words. Unsure whether to believe him or not, she suddenly felt her neck and lower back begin to ache again, and it seemed to get worse by the minute. ¡°Fine, let¡¯s go to the massage therapy department,¡± Xiao Haimei managed through the pain. At the massage therapy department, Xiao Haimei asked a nurse to unlock the door, then she closed it behind them, and as per Ye Haochuan¡¯s instructions, laid herself down on the specialized massage table. It must be said, the way she laid down, the curves of her body undulating under the silk dress, was incredibly enticing. Damn, that figure is simply too hot! Ye Haochuan swallowed hard, reached out his hand, and gently placed it on her most painful spinal acupoints. Though separated by clothing, the smoothness at his fingertips stoked a hint of heat in Ye Haoxuan¡¯s chest. His hands moved with gentle force while he secretly concentrated the Longevity True Qi at his fingertips, slowly transferring it through¡­ The next twenty minutes were spent amidst pleasurable moans, the bliss of which was unspeakable. And Xiao Haimei too experienced unprecedented relief; the pain in her neck and lower back seemed to truly vanish. But the thought of the uncontainable moans she made just now left her feeling embarrassed. After getting off the massage table, Xiao Haimei blushed as she straightened her clothes without speaking. ¡°How was it, Sister Mei? My massage skills are good, right? Did it give you a feeling of wave after wave of climax?¡± he teased. Bloody hell! Xiao Haimei inwardly cursed, her face growing redder, not even sparing the fair skin at the base of her neck, too ashamed to look at him, she whispered, ¡°Thank you, I feel much better. I¡¯ll get back to you tomorrow with the information about Lin Qingxuan.¡± After saying so, she grabbed her handbag, pulled open the door, and ran off as if fleeing the scene. Watching the executive director dash away in a panic, Ye Haochuan genuinely wanted to laugh; this Sister Mei was truly a natural charmer. Leaving the school health clinic, Ye Haochuan had intended to go to his rented apartment to move his belongings, but it was late, past ten at night, so he had to give it up. Early the next morning, Ye Haochuan started his work at the school clinic and received two white lab coats from Doctor Kou, who had recently been promoted to head of surgery, as his uniform. After the events of the previous evening, he had become the talk of the school clinic, with everyone treating him with utmost respect. During the lunch break, he received a call from Xiao Haimei. ¡°Sister Mei, what is it? Is it a recurrence of the old problem? Do you need me to give you another massage therapy session?¡± Ye Haochuan teased. Thinking back to the embarrassment and awkwardness of being massaged by him the night before, Xiao Haimei¡¯s cheeks reddened, and she spat at him, ¡°Drop dead!¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled softly; if he could do it all over again like last night, even dying would be worth it. Seeing he was acting more seriously, Xiao Haimei then said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get back to the point. I¡¯ve found the Lin Qingxuan you asked me to look up. She¡¯s at¡­¡± Chapter 14 - 14 14 Hellfire ?14: Chapter 14 Hellfire 14: Chapter 14 Hellfire At this point, Xiao Haimei seemed to find the narration too cumbersome and changed tack, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s do this, I¡¯ll just forward Lin Qingxuan¡¯s electronic profile to you via email.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Ye Haochuan immediately gave Xiao Haimei his Penguin email address. Ten seconds later, Xiao Haimei said the email had been successfully forwarded, but before hanging up the phone, she teasingly asked, ¡°From the photo, that Lin Qingxuan girl looks pretty. She couldn¡¯t possibly be the new girlfriend you¡¯ve just found, could she?¡± ¡°Sister Mei, there you go again, I¡¯ve just been dumped, how could I find someone new so quickly? Don¡¯t think of me so poorly!¡± Ye Haochuan said with all seriousness. ¡°Come off it, with all the tricks up your sleeve, do you think I don¡¯t know you? You¡¯ve had dozens of girlfriends, if not a hundred,¡± Xiao Haimei said, followed by a giggle. Listening to the enticing laughter on the phone, Ye Haochuan felt an itch in his heart and couldn¡¯t resist teasing back, ¡°If I really had fifty girlfriends, I wouldn¡¯t brag about anything else, but one thing I¡¯m sure of¡ªSister Mei, you¡¯d definitely be at the top of the list.¡± ¡°Drop dead! There you go being improper again!¡± Xiao Haimei on the other end spat out in jest, but for some reason, recalling last night¡¯s awkwardness, she felt her face heat up and quickly hung up the phone. ¡°A couple of jokes and I¡¯m accused of being improper? My really improper side hasn¡¯t even shown itself yet.¡± Ye Haochuan sighed to himself with a self-deprecating laugh, put away his phone, opened up his office computer, accessed his Penguin email, and a new email popped up. It was an electronic academic record! The first thing that caught his eye was a passport-sized photo of a girl. The girl looked very delicate, with long hair over her shoulders and a cute little flower braid on the left front, which seemed very refreshing no matter how one looked at it. Under the long bangs that obscured her eyebrows was a skinny baby face, with a pair of sparkling big eyes that exuded innocence, but upon closer inspection, there was also a deep and poignant sorrow hidden within. Her skin was very delicate, like it would break at the slightest touch. But the paleness of her complexion seemed abnormal, and through Ye Haochuan¡¯s professional eyes, it appeared the girl might be riddled with sickness. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing this, one could not help but notice a pathological beauty about her, and no wonder her eyes held a taste of deep sorrow and wistfulness. She struck a chord of sympathy in me! ¡°This chick, actually plagued by illness, looking at her makes me heartbroken. Good, this has successfully roused my protective instincts,¡± Ye Haochuan nodded to himself. After committing the girl¡¯s features firmly to memory, Ye Haochuan began to browse through her detailed information¡­ Five minutes later, Ye Haochuan had finished reading the profile, leaned back in his chair to rest with his eyes closed, pondering how he could get close to this Lin Qingxuan. Unwittingly, he dozed off. But after an indeterminate amount of time, his mobile phone rang, startling Ye Haochuan awake. He looked at it and saw an unfamiliar number. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± The voice on the other end was deep and magnetic. Ye Haochuan immediately recognized who it was but still wouldn¡¯t let up, ¡°Please, ¡®It¡¯s me¡¯? Who is that? Don¡¯t you have a name?¡± ¡°Brat, it¡¯s Long Xiaotian!¡± The person on the other end was getting slightly annoyed. Hearing the irritation in his voice, Ye Haochuan decided to play nice and chuckled, ¡°Ah, Brother Long, what can I do for you?¡± Long Xiaotian seemed to have no other choice at the moment, and said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m asking you, have you made contact with that Lin Qingxuan yet?¡± ¡°Please, besides her name and year, you gave me no other information about her. How could I have made contact with her so quickly?¡± Ye Haochuan replied, frustrated. ¡°In the entire freshman class, she¡¯s the only one named Lin Qingxuan. And you say I didn¡¯t give you information?¡± Long Xiaotian rebuked. Ye Haochuan curled his lip and said, ¡°Cut it out. How am I supposed to know if she¡¯s the only Lin Qingxuan among all the freshman students? Besides, she doesn¡¯t know me. If I just approach her out of the blue, won¡¯t she think I have some unsavory motives?¡± ¡°Enough with the complaints, kid,¡± Long Xiaotian interrupted directly. ¡°Listen to me, this Lin Qingxuan is extremely valuable to me for discreetly investigating the Long Group¡¯s casualty incident. You must find a way to protect her for me. As for how you¡¯ll approach her, don¡¯t worry about that. I¡¯ll use some connections to speak with your school¡¯s administration. She is plagued by a strange illness, and I¡¯ll strive to have you live with her under the guise of her personal doctor¡­¡± ¡°Live together?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°That sounds good, really good¡­¡± And why wouldn¡¯t it be good? Living with such a pitiable, youthful beauty ¡ª just thinking about it was a temptation! Moreover, according to the information obtained by Xiao Haimei, Lin Qingxuan lived in Haishan University¡¯s Dormitory No. 7 for girls. This Dormitory No. 7 was no ordinary girls¡¯ dorm! It housed all the rich and beautiful girls from Haishan University and was dubbed the ¡°Princess Dormitory¡± by countless male students. As the top private noble school in the Huaxia region, the families of students who could enter Haishan University all had certain economic strength and profound backgrounds. Yet the girls living in this dorm were undoubtedly the cream of the crop. So, if he were to live with this Lin Qingxuan, it would be like moving into the Pansi Cave surrounded by beauties. Tsk tsk, how exciting! However, recalling what Long Xiaotian said about her strange illness, he couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled again. What kind of illness did this lovable girl have? Could he, having inherited the ¡°Holy Hand¡¯s¡± medical skills, cure her? Just as he was pondering this, Long Xiaotian suddenly cursed, ¡°Good for nothing! I warn you, boy, the reason I¡¯m letting you live with Lin Qingxuan is to more conveniently look after her and care for her illness, not for you to hit on her. If I hear you so much as lay a hand on her, I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯ll never be a man again, got it?¡± ¡°No way, Brother Long?¡± Ye Haochuan jumped at Long Xiaotian¡¯s threatening tone. ¡°Don¡¯t believe me? Just try it.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯m scared of you,¡± Ye Haochuan capitulated. Ye Haochuan felt incredibly frustrated, but then he thought, damn, if he really did move into Dormitory No. 7, with all its beauties, even if he couldn¡¯t touch Lin Qingxuan, the pretty young girl, wasn¡¯t there a whole forest to explore? With that thought, his excitement began to rise again, and the frustration quickly evaporated. ¡°Brother Long, when do you plan on arranging for me to move in with her?¡± Ye Haochuan asked. ¡°Right now, outside of Haishan University, I have reliable people secretly monitoring and protecting. It¡¯s difficult for Hellfire¡¯s experts to get close, but what worries me is that Hellfire might bribe some ordinary people to harm her. So, I¡¯m going to arrange for you to live with her starting tonight¡­¡± Hellfire? Ye Haochuan¡¯s curiosity was piqued. What was this Hellfire? An organization with mysterious powers like Long Group? He was about to ask for clarification when suddenly, Long Xiaotian said, ¡°Alright, I can¡¯t talk any more about it now. Get ready to move in with Lin Qingxuan tonight.¡± With a snap, the call ended. ¡°Hello, hello¡­¡± Ye Haochuan muttered to himself helplessly, ¡°Please, moving in so suddenly, I haven¡¯t even prepared for any harassment yet.¡± Chapter 15 - 15 15 Do You Dare to Strike First ?15: Chapter 15 Do You Dare to Strike First? 15: Chapter 15 Do You Dare to Strike First? He continued working in the afternoon. Although there were many teachers and students visiting the campus hospital, Ye Haochuan was from the surgery department, where there usually weren¡¯t that many injured people. So, the entire afternoon was relatively quiet, just like the morning, though he occasionally checked on Li Tianwei¡¯s son¡¯s injuries. Through these visits, he gradually became familiar with Li Tianwei¡¯s son. The young man was called Li Wenfeng, a sophomore at the Sports College of Haishan University, tall and handsome, and particularly known for his sense of loyalty. Precisely because of this, Ye Haochuan found him very agreeable. Given his distinguished family background, one would think he might strut around Haishan University, but there were many strong rivals there with similar backgrounds, and Sun Zhe was one of them. Sun Zhe¡¯s father was the CEO of Yongsheng Group, as well-known in Haishan City as Heavenly Might Group, and known to everyone in the city. However, Sun Yongsheng was thoroughly a scheming businessman, often unscrupulous for the sake of profit, which made him constantly clash with Li Tianwei who advocated legitimate business operations. The poor relations between their fathers had directly influenced their children; being at the same university, it was inevitable that Sun Zhe and Li Wenfeng would become archenemies. The reason Li Wenfeng was beaten and almost lost his life was because both participated in a basketball event organized by the school. During the match to decide the champions, Sun Zhe¡¯s team was significantly trailing, which infuriated him. Taking advantage of a moment when Li Wenfeng was unguarded, Sun Zhe suddenly attacked him, causing Li Wenfeng to fall injured on the spot, and leading to his subsequent rush to the campus hospital. At five o¡¯clock in the afternoon, just when it was time to finish work, Ye Haochuan was about to close the door and leave when nurse Han Xue¡¯er, panting, ran up to him, ¡°Brother Ye, it¡¯s terrible, there¡¯s going to be big trouble at the VIP ward.¡± Li Wenfeng was staying in the VIP ward. Looking at Han Xue¡¯er¡¯s delicate panting and the seductive surge of Saintess Peak, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but feel a rush of desire. He swallowed and smiled, ¡°Xue¡¯er, don¡¯t panic, take it easy. Look at you, you¡¯re sweating. Here, let me help you wipe it off.¡± With that, he pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her forehead, and, of course, didn¡¯t miss the chance to make a move. Han Xue¡¯er couldn¡¯t stand his ambiguous actions, her innocent face flushing in an instant, looking as ripe as a red apple. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡­¡± Han Xue¡¯er murmured softly as she quickly took the tissue from his hand. Seeing her bashfully alluring expression, Ye Haochuan found it amusing but didn¡¯t continue to tease. He said sternly, ¡°What¡¯s happening at the VIP ward?¡± Once he brought up the serious matter, Han Xue¡¯er began to get anxious again, ¡°It¡¯s like this, someone came looking for trouble with Li Wenfeng, and both of his bodyguards have been beaten down.¡± Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, and could guess who was behind it even without thinking much: other than that rascal Sun Zhe, who else would dare be so bold in the campus hospital? ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look!¡± Having said that, Ye Haochuan rushed towards the VIP ward. Soon, he arrived at the VIP ward only to find what seemed to be a doctor in a white coat blocking the door, outside, a group of fierce-looking students led by one who looked like a student himself, Ye Haochuan guessed he must be Sun Zhe. Beside the group, two bodyguards were knocked down on the ground, unconscious. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°You bastards, get the hell out, this is a campus hospital, not a place for you to misbehave!¡± Hearing the voice, Ye Haochuan instantly knew the doctor blocking the door was Kou Jing. What surprised him was that Doctor Kou, a woman, undaunted by power, had such courage. He had really underestimated her. ¡°Doctor Kou, don¡¯t think just because you have a big chest, I¡¯ll give you any leeway. This is my personal grievance with Li Wenfeng. Move aside! And if I accidentally touch your chest, don¡¯t blame me, alright.¡± The leader, Sun Zhe, said with a smirk, his eyes squinting into slits as he stared fixatedly at Kou Jing¡¯s towering breasts, sporting a sleazy demeanor. The group of male students following behind Sun Zhe began to jeer and make lewd comments, utterly shameless. Kou Jing was so furious that her chest heaved violently, and she glared, ¡°You bastards, do you believe I¡¯ll call the school leaders and have you expelled?¡± ¡°Expelled?¡± Sun Zhe burst into loud laughter, as if he had heard a funny joke, ¡°Brothers, did you hear that? Doctor Kou said she¡¯s going to expel us.¡± The group of male students roared with laughter. One of the students shouted, ¡°Doctor Kou, don¡¯t be na?ve, expelling our Young Master Sun? Do your school leaders even have the guts? Just at the word of our Young Master Sun, your school leaders would be in jeopardy, and who knows who would get expelled then.¡± Kou Jing was extremely infuriated, yet powerless. She was well aware that this Sun Zhe had connections in the city¡¯s educational department. Should he pull some strings, how could the school leaders stand against him? Even if the new chairwoman, Miss Xiao, intervened, she might not be able to settle the matter. At that moment, Li Wenfeng¡¯s voice came from the ward, ¡°Doctor Kou, you let these bastards in, I just don¡¯t believe he would dare to touch me.¡± Kou Jing frowned, these damnable students disregarded even your two bodyguards, talking as if they¡¯d take them down instantly. What if they were after you, then wouldn¡¯t you be at their mercy? ¡°Ha ha, Li Wenfeng, oh Li Wenfeng, you¡¯re really not dead yet?¡± Sun Zhe laughed out loud, ¡°Do you want me to come in and send you on your way?¡± ¡°You punk, Sun Zhe, get your ass in here, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Li Wenfeng yelled angrily. ¡°F**k, you want to die, I¡¯ll grant your wish!¡± Sun Zhe was ready to barge in forcefully. Yet at this moment, Kou Jing stood defiantly in the way again. Seeing Kou Jing standing tall with her chest out, Sun Zhe gave her a lecherous glance and heh-hehed, ¡°Doctor Kou, don¡¯t think that just because you are Elder Kou¡¯s granddaughter, I would show you any respect. Move aside quickly, otherwise, I might really be forced to ruin a beauty.¡± ¡°You dare?¡± Kou Jing said angrily. ¡°What¡¯s there not to dare? In this corner of Haishan, is there anything Young Master Sun doesn¡¯t dare? I¡¯ve long heard that you, Doctor Kou, are the famous ice queen of our school¡¯s hospital, and I want to see if the ice queen can melt in front of me. Heh heh.¡± Heh hehing, Sun Zhe slowly reached his hand out, grabbing towards Kou Jing. Behind him, the group of male students chuckled maliciously as they spurred him on. Kou Jing was so humiliated, she quickly moved to cover herself, but, unfortunately, she was a step too slow, and Sun Zhe¡¯s paw was almost upon her. Just then, Sun Zhe suddenly screamed like a pig being slaughtered, ¡°Ow, it hurts like hell!¡± Kou Jing was startled, but saw a long silver needle suddenly appear on Sun Zhe¡¯s hand, the kind used in acupuncture. Since the tail end of the silver needle was still trembling, it was clearly hurled straight at him. But who had done it? Kou Jing looked out and saw Ye Haochuan coming over with a cold face, he snorted, ¡°I haven¡¯t even touched her yet, and you dare to make your move first?¡± What bullshit is he talking? Kou Jing blushed furiously, this pervert, really had no shame, making it sound as if I was his woman. Chapter 16 - 16 16 You disfigure yourself just like getting plastic surgery! ?16: Chapter 16: You disfigure yourself just like getting plastic surgery! 16: Chapter 16: You disfigure yourself just like getting plastic surgery! Sun Zhe also looked in the direction of the voice and saw a guy dressed plainly, looking like a loser, walking towards him with an unfriendly stare. And behind the loser was a short-statured but delicate and pretty little nurse. At this moment, a student who was a sworn friend of his recognized Ye Haochuan and whispered to Sun Zhe, ¡°Young Master Sun, this guy is Ye Haochuan, the one who saved Li Wenfeng.¡± Once Sun Zhe heard this, a sharp light flickered in his narrow eyes. He pulled out the Silver Needle that was stuck in his hand and gritted his teeth, ¡°You little brat, I didn¡¯t settle the score with you yesterday for saving Li Wenfeng, but now you dare to stick me with a needle. We¡¯ll settle both old and new grievances, you¡¯re dead for sure today!¡± No sooner had he finished speaking than the students around him gathered up to surround him. In their view, Ye Haochuan was just like the two bodyguards lying on the ground, about to become the next target of their beating. At the end of the hallway, many doctors and nurses, as well as students who had come for treatment, were watching from a distance, all very worried for Ye Haochuan. Sun Zhe¡¯s father, Sun Yongsheng, was the famous head of Yongsheng Group in Haishan City. This kid bullied both boys and girls at school, acting lawlessly. Now, with their numerical superiority, Ye Haochuan was completely outmatched and stood no chance at all. Well, let alone Sun Zhe, even the sworn friends around him all came from good backgrounds and had extraordinary family support. Each one either drove a BMW or an Audi. If Ye Haochuan dared to hit one of them, he¡¯d be in big trouble. Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er were even more anxious, both tightly clenching their fists with palms full of cold sweat. Although they had seen Ye Haochuan¡¯s ability to overpower Li Tianwei¡¯s three bodyguards yesterday, now, with at least ten people on Sun Zhe¡¯s side, could Ye Haochuan possibly prevail? Little did they know, Ye Haochuan smiled nonchalantly, cracking his knuckles, ¡°Buzz off, who¡¯s going to die today is still up in the air!¡± This carefree attitude immediately infuriated Sun Zhe. ¡°Guys, beat him for me, beat him until he¡¯s a bloody mess!¡± Sun Zhe commanded with rage. As soon as Sun Zhe gave the order, the students menacingly closed in on Ye Haochuan, rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight. ¡°Young Master Sun, rest easy, watch how we beat him up!¡± ¡°Young Master Sun, I can¡¯t guarantee anything else, but crippling this little punk is no problem at all!¡± ¡°Damn it, Ye, you dare to talk to our Young Master Sun like that? Are you freaking asking for it?¡± Facing the students closing in from all directions, Ye Haochuan¡¯s expression turned cold, ¡°Damn, a bunch of fools courting death!¡± On hearing this, Sun Zhe¡¯s buddies were instantly enraged and rushed at him all at once. The next moment, Ye Haochuan¡¯s energy sank into his Dantian, he bent down, using his left foot as the pivot point, he spun around forcefully, sweeping out with a leg sweep, a domineering aura sweeping across everything. ¡°Smack smack smack¡­¡± A series of rapid sounds ensued, one after the other, resembling musical notes varying in pitch, continuous and unbroken. Followed by screams beginning to rise and fall, almost every student at the forefront of the charge fell to the ground, clutching their legs and wailing loudly. ¡°Damn it, if you want to cripple others, you¡¯d better be prepared to get crippled yourself!¡± Ye Haochuan said as he looked at the bodies sprawled on the ground. The rest of Sun Zhe¡¯s buddies were shocked and secretly cursed their bad luck, ¡°Damn it, we¡¯ve kicked the iron board today, we¡¯ve encountered a master.¡± And the surrounding onlookers, all rejuvenated, nobody had expected Ye Haochuan to be such a good fighter. However, Sun Zhe had always been arrogant and how could he easily admit defeat? Moreover, he himself was a martial artist. The two bodyguards sent by Li Tianwei had been taken down by him with just a few moves. ¡°Damn, no wonder you¡¯re so arrogant, kid, you¡¯ve actually trained a bit in martial arts,¡± Sun Zhe¡¯s expression turned cold on the spot, and he said viciously, ¡°But in front of me, you¡¯re not arrogant enough.¡± With that said, Sun Zhe bellowed, ¡°Get out of my way, all of you!¡± The crowd of buddies dispersed like a tide, clearing a space, each of them shouting and cheering for Sun Zhe. ¡°With Young Master Sun taking action, this kid is doomed for sure.¡± ¡°Exactly. Our Young Master Sun is the school¡¯s Sanda champion and has been mentored by a master. This kid¡¯s done for.¡± ¡°Hehe, I¡¯d bet this guy won¡¯t survive the day. Even if he does, he¡¯ll probably be crippled by Young Master Sun!¡± Listening to these mocking words, Ye Haochuan felt contempt. Each of them looked down on others with disdain. What kind of eyes do they have? At that moment, Sun Zhe moved forward a few steps, reached Ye Haochuan, and without warning threw a straight punch at him. The speed was astounding. All around, exclamations rose and fell in succession. Turns out, after Sun Zhe threw his punch, Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t move an inch. Just as the punch was about to land on his face, Ye Haochuan suddenly responded with even greater speed like lightning, grabbed Sun Zhe¡¯s fist in his hand, and then twisted it in the opposite direction with force. Sun Zhe immediately let out a yelp of pain and knelt on the ground, his face swelling red. Surrounded by Sun Zhe¡¯s close circle, all their faces changed color, none of them had expected that their champion in Sanda, Young Master Sun, would not last a single move against Ye Haochuan. They cursed in unison, demanding Ye Haochuan to let go. Ye Haochuan, seizing the advantage, would not let up. Why would he listen to these people¡¯s noise? Instead, he continued to activate his Longevity True Qi, increasing the strength in his hand. Sun Zhe¡¯s wrist became more and more painful, beads of sweat the size of beans continuously rolled down his face, and through gritted teeth, he cursed, ¡°Son of a bitch, how dare you mess with me¡­¡± ¡°Mess with you? I¡¯m going to beat you up!¡± Ye Haochuan said, and then slapped him across the face. Immediately, a clear palm print appeared on one side of Sun Zhe¡¯s cheek, burning hot. ¡°You dare to hit me?¡± Sun Zhe was furious. ¡°Smack!¡± Ye Haochuan unleashed another loud slap and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m hitting you today. What can you do to me?¡± ¡°Fuck your mother!¡± Sun Zhe suddenly erupted like an angry lion. ¡°Idiot!¡± Ye Haochuan laughed coldly, gripping the hand that held Sun Zhe¡¯s fist, and applied more force. Sun Zhe immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. The group of Sun Zhe¡¯s cronies couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and came up to attack together, but Ye Haochuan grabbed Sun Zhe and swung him around as a human weapon. Those who closed in were all thrown to the ground, crying out in pain. Seeing this, Sun Zhe realized at once that the guy in front of him was not to be trifled with, but he still blustered weakly, ¡°Ye, let go of me right now, or I¡¯ll find someone to kill you!¡± ¡°Kill me?¡± Ye Haochuan was thoroughly enjoying the fight, his confidence swelling. He scoffed at the threats, ¡°If you want to kill me, I¡¯ll fucking kill you first!¡± After speaking, he concentrated his Longevity True Qi in his palm and delivered smack after smack, one after another, fiercely slapping Sun Zhe¡¯s face. With the power of the Longevity True Qi, his slaps were several times stronger, swelling Sun Zhe¡¯s face and causing a buzzing in his ears. ¡°Brother Ye, Brother Ye, I¡¯ll call you my dear brother, please stop hitting me. I beg you to stop. If you keep going, I¡¯ll be disfigured!¡± Sun Zhe was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face.

Chapter 17 - 17 17 Block the Enemy Soldiers! ?17: Chapter 17: Block the Enemy Soldiers! 17: Chapter 17: Block the Enemy Soldiers! S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, seeing Sun Zhe in such a pitiful state, Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er began to feel somewhat reluctant to see him suffer further. Han Xue¡¯er was the first to persuade, ¡°Brother Ye, stop hitting him, just let it go¡­¡± Kou Jing also followed, ¡°Yes, Doctor Ye, a small lesson was enough, don¡¯t go too far.¡± As soon as Sun Zhe heard both women pleading for him, it seemed to him like music from heaven, and he quickly seized the opportunity, ¡°Yes, Brother Ye, listen to the two sisters-in-law, please spare me¡­¡± Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er both blushed upon hearing this; what sisters-in-law? Nonsense! Ye Haochuan, however, burst into laughter, released Sun Zhe¡¯s fist, and clapped his hands, ¡°You¡¯re lucky, your calling me ¡®brother-in-law¡¯ was on point, now take your men and scram!¡± Kou Jing stomped her foot angrily, this jerk, openly taking advantage of her! Han Xue¡¯er, however, felt differently; though he was a bit of a lecher, he was exceptionally handsome and skilled, being his woman would mean security, who would dare bully her then? By that time, Sun Zhe had already gotten up, limping away with his gang, hurriedly and in disarray. However, once he reached the elevator at the far end of the corridor, the guy turned boisterous again, yelling at Ye Haochuan, ¡°Motherfucker, you wait, if I can¡¯t beat you, I¡¯ll find a master to take you down! Fuck!¡± After saying this, the group rushed into the elevator and vanished. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll wait, let¡¯s see what crap master you can bring,¡± Ye Haochuan said nonchalantly. At this moment, Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er came up to him, both women wearing worried expressions. ¡°Doctor Ye, Sun Zhe¡¯s background is not simple; now that you¡¯ve provoked him, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t let this go easily,¡± Kou Jing said with a frown. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I block warriors; women, I seduce, I¡¯m not scared of him at all,¡± Ye Haochuan said nonchalantly. Block warriors and seduce women? What kind of ugly talk is that? Why does everything sound wrong when it comes out of his mouth? Kou Jing and Han Xue¡¯er, both embarrassed, gave him a cold look and no longer dared stay with him. They called the doctors and nurses who were not far away spectating, to quickly carry the two unconscious bodyguards lying on the ground to the emergency room for urgent care. Once the women left, Ye Haochuan went into the VIP ward. Li Wenfeng, who was unable to move on the hospital bed, immediately gave a thumbs up as he saw him enter, ¡°Big Brother Ye, you¡¯re truly awesome. That Sun Zhe is the Sanda champion of Haishan University, and you took him down in just a few moves.¡± Ye Haochuan grinned and scoffed, ¡°That guy¡¯s skill and he dares call himself a Sanda champion? Has Haishan University become ¡®a place where there are no tigers, hence the monkey becoming king?¡± Unbeknownst to him, carrying the Longevity True Qi and having inherited the Holy Hand¡¯s Medical Techniques, his martial skills were not something ordinary people like Sun Zhe could compare to. Li Wenfeng smiled, his face full of admiration, ¡°Brother Ye, it¡¯s not that he lacks skill, it¡¯s just that you¡¯re too good. Although I can¡¯t get out of bed and didn¡¯t see how formidable you were, I can imagine it, and your skills are indeed impressive.¡± Ye Haochuan touched his nose and humbly said, ¡°Just average, not a big deal handling some petty people.¡± Li Wenfeng nodded his head and then his expression became serious, ¡°However, Brother Ye, I still need to remind you that just now, Sun Zhe threatened to find a master to deal with you, and if I¡¯m not wrong, he must have gone to find his master.¡± ¡°His master?¡± Ye Haochuan was taken aback. ¡°Yes, his master,¡± Li Wenfeng nodded, ¡°His master is actually a worldly master hired by his father, with a very mysterious identity. No one knows his name, he is just known as Eighth Master. According to my father, this Eighth Master is from a mysterious organization called something Hellfire¡­¡± Ye Haochuan raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat familiar, and blurted out, ¡°Hellfire?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, Hellfire, that¡¯s the mysterious organization,¡± Li Wenfeng brightened up, then looked puzzled, ¡°Hey, Brother Ye, how do you know the name Hellfire?¡± Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t explain that he had heard it from Long Xiaotian, so he vaguely said, ¡°Just a wild guess.¡± Li Wenfeng didn¡¯t suspect anything and continued, ¡°According to my father, this organization Hellfire has a strict hierarchy, acts very stealthily, and each member is extremely ruthless. I¡¯ve seen firsthand how formidable that Eighth Master is. It¡¯s said that within Hellfire, he¡¯s just a low-level disciple, not even a full disciple.¡± ¡°What, not even a full disciple?¡± Ye Haochuan frowned, ¡°Young Master Feng, you said you¡¯ve witnessed his prowess, then between him and me, who is more formidable?¡± Li Wenfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head, ¡°I think he is a bit more formidable.¡± ¡°What?¡± Ye Haochuan felt somewhat indignant, thinking to himself, ¡®I¡¯ve received the legacy of the Holy Hand, and I¡¯m so awesome, yet I¡¯m still not as good as a mere disciple of Hellfire?¡¯ Li Wenfeng seemed to sense his displeasure and didn¡¯t know quite how to explain; suddenly, he remembered something, took out his cellphone, and said, ¡°Right, Brother Ye, I have a video here secretly recorded with my phone, about him helping Sun Zhe deal with some thugs around our school, let me show you¡­¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s interest was piqued, he leaned forward, and soon, Li Wenfeng played a video on his phone. In the video, at least thirty thugs, armed with cleavers, daggers, and even iron bars, aggressively charged at a skinny man who looked as thin as a bamboo pole. Presumably, this skinny man was the so-called Eighth Master mentioned by Li Wenfeng? Because of the distance, it was hard to make out Eighth Master¡¯s face and age, however, he stood there giving off an impression as if he were a mountain, completely the air of a master. Just as these thugs were about to chop Eighth Master into mincemeat, suddenly, he bellowed loudly, and somehow, almost all of the thugs immediately clasped their ears, falling to the ground and rolling around in pain. ¡°Damn, could this skinny guy have practiced some sort of Qigong? With just one shout, he¡¯s that powerful!¡± Ye Haochuan exclaimed in surprise. He considered the Longevity Technique very formidable, and indeed, after gaining the Longevity True Qi, his own strength had become very strong, but to reach the level where a shout could harm an opponent was very difficult. Moreover, in the memories received from Holy Hand, there weren¡¯t many martial arts secrets, after all, it was about healing and saving lives. The practice of Longevity Technique was mainly for enhancing his own cultivation and aiding in saving lives, not purely for harming others. ¡°Brother Ye, you are indeed right, this Eighth Master actually did practice a kind of Qigong. His shout just now was actually a technique called Lion¡¯s Roar¡­¡± Lion¡¯s Roar? The name did roll off the tongue nicely. Suddenly, Ye Haochuan began to look forward to it, thinking how awesome it would be if he could master this Lion¡¯s Roar technique? Chapter 18 - 18 18 Ancient Martial Artist ?18: Chapter 18 Ancient Martial Artist? 18: Chapter 18 Ancient Martial Artist? Seeing he didn¡¯t respond, Li Wenfeng assumed he was still in shock and continued, ¡°Although I was far away at the time, I could still feel the power of that guy¡¯s Lion¡¯s Roar. It felt like my ears were about to go deaf.¡± Ye Haochuan exclaimed, ¡°That guy¡¯s Lion¡¯s Roar is indeed formidable, one roar sweeps over a large area! It¡¯s much more powerful than any direct physical attack.¡± ¡°Exactly. From what I¡¯ve learned later,¡± said Li Wenfeng with lingering fear, ¡°those little ruffians who were injured by that guy eventually had all their hearing weakened, and one or two even became deaf, turning into useless people. Lucky for me, I was far away or else I would have ended up the same.¡± Ye Haochuan frowned. This guy was a formidable opponent; if Sun Zhe called him over, Haochuan wasn¡¯t sure if he could withstand him. ¡°However, Brother Ye, you should not worry too much. As I know,¡± Li Wenfeng added, ¡°although that guy is strong, using the Lion¡¯s Roar takes a lot of energy. After helping Sun Zhe clean up the small thugs around our school, he used this Lion¡¯s Roar several times consecutively and is now in seclusion at Sun Zhe¡¯s place to recuperate. He won¡¯t be likely to come after us anytime soon.¡± Ye Haochuan then breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn¡¯t come right away, he could think of ways to increase his strength. Moreover, according to the former head of Long Group, Dragon Roar, there was bad blood between Long Group and Hellfire. Surely, Dragon Roar would not stand idly by. Though this might earn him a scolding from Dragon Roar, his life mattered more, and he couldn¡¯t worry about that now. Footsteps sounded. Ye Haochuan turned his head and saw through the hospital room door that a group of people rushed in, led by a student with Maserati hair, followed by several stern-faced bodyguards wearing sunglasses. ¡°Young Master Feng, are you alright? Did that bastard Sun Zhe do anything to you?¡± the Maserati-haired student shouted anxiously. ¡°Damn, as if that guy could do anything to me?¡± Li Wenfeng cursed. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s right! If that bastard Sun Zhe dared to hurt you, all of us brothers would wipe him out,¡± the Maserati-haired student laughed. At that moment, the Maserati-haired student noticed Ye Haochuan¡¯s presence. Since Ye Haochuan was about to end his shift and had already changed out of his white coat into casual clothes, he mistook Haochuan for Friend Feng¡¯s friend. ¡°Young Master Feng, who is this gentleman? How come I¡¯ve never seen him before?¡± asked the Maserati-haired student. Only then did Li Wenfeng introduce Ye Haochuan to him. And from Li Wenfeng¡¯s introduction, Ye Haochuan learned that the Maserati-haired student was called Lei Yiming, also from a wealthy family and close childhood friend of Wenfeng; they were deeply bonded brothers. However, Lei Yiming was not a student at Haishan University, but studied in another city, Qingyuan. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing of the incident with Wenfeng, he had taken leave from school and flown back home on a private jet, showing deep loyalty. ¡°Young Master Ming,¡± Wenfeng spoke earnestly, ¡°listen to me, Brother Ye is a great benefactor to me, Li Wenfeng. If it weren¡¯t for him acting to save me last night, my life would have been claimed by King Yama. You should show him some respect from now on.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Lei Yiming was taken aback. Li Wenfeng then related the incident with Sun Zhe during the basketball duel the previous afternoon, how Sun Zhe had suddenly attacked him, causing serious injuries. ¡°Damn, that Sun Zhe, having no skills in his own team, actually resorted to dirty tricks. Young Master Feng, you recuperate well here, I¡¯ll go and settle the score with that bastard Sun Zhe right away,¡± Lei Yiming said angrily. Li Wenfeng waved his hand and laughed, ¡°No need, it¡¯s pointless to go after that guy now. Brother Ye has just beaten him to a pulp.¡± ¡°Brother Ye is that amazing? Sun Zhe, that bastard, is your Haishan University¡¯s sanda expert!¡± Lei Yiming exclaimed in surprise. ¡°So what if he¡¯s a sanda expert? In front of Brother Ye, that little brat Sun Zhe is like clay.¡± Li Wenfeng said disdainfully, curling his lip. Following that, Li Wenfeng embellished how Ye Haochuan had showed his divine might and how he had beaten Sun Zhe and his group to the ground. Only then did Lei Yiming start to believe and admire Ye Haochuan profoundly; he also affectionately started calling him Brother Ye. After chatting for a while, Ye Haochuan thought it was getting late and, worried that that Eighth Master might trouble him at any moment, he really wasn¡¯t in the mood to continue chatting with two kids. He then made an excuse about needing to move some luggage from his rental house and prepared to take his leave. ¡°Brother Ye, why not take my car? It¡¯ll be faster,¡± Lei Yiming suggested earnestly, as he had always respected heroes who were fearless in the face of violence, Ye Haochuan intended to refuse, but couldn¡¯t withstand Li Wenfeng¡¯s persuasion and thus reluctantly accepted Lei Yiming¡¯s kindness. Lei Yiming, truly born into a wealthy family, had come to visit his fraternal brother at Haishan University with three luxurious cars, a Maserati as his own ride and two black Audis trailing behind, obviously serving as an escort for the Maserati. The bodyguard arranged by Lei Yiming initially suggested that Ye Haochuan take the Maserati, but considering that he had a lot of luggage at his rental, he chose the Audi with a larger trunk instead. ¡°Vroom¡ª¡± After getting into the car, the engine of the Audi started immediately, and it shot out like a tiger sprung from its cage. Twenty minutes later, Ye Haochuan arrived at his basement rental house, settled the rent with the landlord, packed his luggage into the trunk of the Audi, and then headed back to Haishan University. Along the way, his cellphone suddenly rang, and upon checking the caller ID, it was a different unfamiliar number than before. Ye Haochuan knew it was Long Xiaotian calling, thought that this guy was overly cautious. Changing phone numbers so often, almost never repeating the same one. Pressing the answer button, he heard Long Xiaotian¡¯s voice, informing him that the arrangements for him to live together with Lin Qingxuan were all set. However, Ye Haochuan was currently worried that Sun Zhe might have the Eighth Master seek revenge on him, so his excitement from before had faded. Long Xiaotian, seeming to sense his thoughts, chided jokingly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, kid? You¡¯re like an eggplant beaten by frost¡± Ye Haochuan then shared his enmity with Sun Zhe and the potential retaliation from a Hellfire Disciple. However, mindful of the driver in the car, he didn¡¯t make his mention of the Hellfire too obvious. ¡°Go on, a Hellfire Disciple worth nothing. Is the Longevity Technique passed down to you by the Holy Hand just for show? Focus on your cultivation, enter the Postnatal Early Stage soon, and you can handle a mere Hellfire Disciple however you want.¡± Hearing Long Xiaotian speak so casually, Ye Haochuan¡¯s spirits lifted, and he quickly asked what the Postnatal Early Stage was all about. ¡°Well, since you¡¯re now a reserve member of the Long Group, I might as well tell you. All of us, we¡¯re not ordinary people; we are Ancient Martial Artists, and our strength is measured by our Martial Arts Path World Realm.¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan was stunned for a moment: ¡°Ancient Martial Artist?¡± Chapter 19 - 19 19 Martial Arts Path Boundary ?19: Chapter 19 Martial Arts Path Boundary 19: Chapter 19 Martial Arts Path Boundary Hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s voice filled with astonishment, Long Xiaotian chuckled from the other end of the phone, ¡°That¡¯s right, Ancient Martial Artist. What¡¯s the matter, surprised, aren¡¯t you?¡± Ye Haochuan quickly collected himself, chuckled at himself, and said, ¡°A little. Because I never imagined that I would be involved with this. Alright, Brother Long, please continue.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Long Xiaotian paused for a moment, then continued. ¡°In fact, our current organization Long Group is just a front to mislead the public; our true identity is that of Ancient Martial Artists, and the real name of our Long Group is Ancient Martial Arts Sect.¡± ¡°Oh, I see,¡± Ye Haochuan nodded. ¡°You are not yet a true member of our Ancient Martial Arts Sect, so details about our sect are currently kept secret from you. When your cultivation improves in the future, we¡¯ll tell you more. Now, I will explain the most fundamental cultivation boundaries of Ancient Martial Artists, something you must know.¡± At this, Ye Haochuan perked up, listening with rapt attention. ¡°Before officially entering the Martial Arts Path World Realm, there are two stages, Postnatal and Innate. Both of these stages focus on the cultivation of True Qi, and it¡¯s only after surpassing the Innate Realm that one can step into the Foundation Establishment Stage and begin cultivating True Yuan.¡± ¡°The Postnatal and Innate stages each have four boundaries: Early Stage, Early Stage, Mid-Stage, and Peak.¡± ¡°An Ancient Martial Artist in the Postnatal Early Stage can lift a thousand jin with their bare hands, in the Postnatal Mid-Stage they can lift two thousand jin, in the Postnatal Late Stage, three thousand jin, and at the Postnatal Peak, they can lift five thousand jin.¡± ¡°The Innate Realm is a watershed. An Ancient Martial Artist in the Innate Early Stage can lift ten thousand jin, in the Innate Mid-Stage, fifteen thousand jin, in the Innate Late Stage, thirty thousand jin, and at the Innate Peak, they can lift fifty thousand jin.¡± ¡°As for the Foundation Establishment Stage, well, there¡¯s no need to talk about it now; we can discuss it when your strength reaches that level,¡± Long Xiaotian said with a sigh. Hearing this, Ye Haochuan sensibly did not press the issue. After all, it would be who knows how long before he successfully got through the Postnatal and Innate realms; fretting about the Foundation Establishment Stage was pointless! At this moment, Long Xiaotian suddenly voiced his confusion, ¡°Strange, Holy Hand is very familiar with these matters, doesn¡¯t the inherited memory he passed on to you contain this information?¡± Ye Haochuan was lost for words, silently muttering to himself in protest: Seriously, if I had this information, would I still need to ask Brother Long? ¡°Perhaps, after Holy Hand died, when existing as a Soul Body, he was quite weak. Transferring all of his memories to you was clearly not easy, and as a result, much of that memory was probably lost,¡± Long Xiaotian deduced with a somber tone. Ye Haochuan felt that this made sense, and immediately sighed to himself with regret, thinking that if he possessed those memories, he wouldn¡¯t have been at a disadvantage with Long Xiaotian. ¡°The disciple from Hellfire that you mentioned, in reality, doesn¡¯t have a high cultivation level. You could say he hasn¡¯t even stepped into the Postnatal Realm; his strength is almost no different from our lowest-tier disciples in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan curiously asked, ¡°So does that make me a Disciple now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Long Xiaotian acknowledged, ¡°But from the Lion¡¯s Roar used by that Hellfire Disciple, his strength is indeed much more formidable than yours. After all, you¡¯ve just started practicing the Longevity Technique, and your foundation is shallow.¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan frowned and said in a lower voice, ¡°So you¡¯re saying, if I face him, I¡¯ll only be on the receiving end of a beating?¡± ¡°If you do not rapidly increase your strength and enter the Postnatal Early Stage Realm, then yes, you would indeed have no choice but to be at his mercy.¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s frown deepened as he whispered, ¡°But Brother Long, I feel that cultivating the Longevity Technique is not progressing very quickly. How could I possibly enter the Postnatal Early Stage in a short period of time?¡± ¡°I¡¯m almost dead because of you. Didn¡¯t the Holy Hand tell you in the memories he passed on that you could use his unparalleled medical techniques to concoct some miraculous elixirs and speed up your cultivation?¡± Long Xiaotian vented angrily. Ye Haochuan brightened up, scratching his head sheepishly, ¡°That¡¯s true, but I don¡¯t have the materials for it here.¡± ¡°Are you an idiot? If you don¡¯t have them, go find them. Haishan City isn¡¯t without its Chinese medicine shops. Can¡¯t you search there?¡± Long Xiaotian became more irritated as he spoke, ¡°Alright, from now on, don¡¯t bother me with these trivial issues; figure it out yourself.¡± With that, Long Xiaotian abruptly hung up the phone. ¡°Damn, was it necessary to get so furious over a couple of extra questions?¡± Ye Haochuan murmured, curling his lip. Putting away his phone, Ye Haochuan leaned back in his seat and dozed off, but his mind was busily sifting through the Holy Hand¡¯s memories until suddenly a clue emerged. ¡°Qi Condensation Pill, what a great item!¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes lit up again, but he immediately shook his head, ¡°Too bad it¡¯s already late. The pharmacies have almost all closed for the day. I¡¯ll go to the medicine shops tomorrow to look for the materials. If I manage to make it, and after consuming it, reaching the Postnatal Early Stage will be just around the corner. Then, will I even need to be afraid of what¡¯s-his-face, Eight Gramps?¡± A few minutes later, the Audi stopped in front of Haishan University Hospital. He was about to move his luggage back to his dormitory when he got a call from the beautiful chairman, Xiao Haimei. ¡°Have you moved all your luggage?¡± Xiao Haimei asked. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t rush to move your stuff to your original dorm for now. Leave it at the hospital gate¡¯s on-duty room. I have already notified the security guard there, and he will take care of it for you. First, come to your office; there¡¯s something I need to talk about with you.¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart tensed. Could it be related to his staying in Building No. 7 to protect Lin Qingxuan? Rushing to his office, Xiao Haimei was leisurely browsing through his work diary, looking quite amused. At the moment, Xiao Haimei was wearing a semi-transparent black chiffon long dress with her hair piled high, revealing her fiery and passionate side in full force. Her charming face with a hint of flirtatiousness was intoxicating, especially the wildness that occasionally oozed out of her maturity, involuntarily arousing a desire to conquer. Seeing him gawking straight at her, Xiao Haimei¡¯s cheeks turned pink, and she spat at him, ¡°Pervert, what are you looking at? Keep staring and I¡¯ll gouge out your eyeballs.¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Sister Mei, you¡¯re doing me wrong. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I was just checking on how your cervical and lumbar spine are doing. What¡¯s that got to do with being a pervert?¡± The big pervert was obviously up to no good, but still, so righteously argued! Xiao Haimei felt like she was hitting cotton¡ªno matter how hard she punched, it seemed to have no effect. She could only helplessly say, ¡°Alright, be serious. Do you know why I called you here?¡± ¡°Please, Sister Mei, I¡¯m not the worm in your stomach. How would I know? You¡¯re not going to introduce me to a girlfriend, are you? Sigh, let me make it clear, if she isn¡¯t at least one-tenth as pretty as you, I won¡¯t agree,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. ¡°Smarty-pants.¡± With a playful glance, Xiao Haimei then said half-jokingly, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s about introducing you to a girlfriend. She¡¯s gentle and beautiful, younger than me, too. Interested?¡± Ye Haochuan exaggeratedly jumped up, ¡°Of course, Sister Mei, where is she? What¡¯s her name?¡± What is this mess? Xiao Haimei was incredibly frustrated inside. Big pervert, not a good thing at all! Chapter 20 - 20 20 Am I the Uncle ?20: Chapter 20: Am I the Uncle? 20: Chapter 20: Am I the Uncle? After gathering her emotions, Xiao Haimei slowly calmed down, feeling quite self-mocking. What was she even getting angry about? This Doctor Ye, always so flirtatious, it was his nature. Even though he was a bit of a womanizer, he was still much better than those hypocritical so-called gentlemen! Especially compared to her ex-husband, who said one thing to her face and did another behind her back, it was countless times better. Thinking of the ex-husband who abandoned her for another woman, her heart inexplicably started to sting again. ¡°Sister Mei, say something!¡± It was Ye Haochuan, who, seeing her silent for so long, urged her to speak. Xiao Haimei then snapped out of her thoughts and said seriously, ¡°Here¡¯s the thing, that girl is none other than Lin Qingxuan, the student you asked me to look for yesterday. I just received a call from her father, Secretary Lin; he¡¯s heard of your skills and wants you to become Lin Qingxuan¡¯s personal physician. I agreed.¡± Even though he already knew the ins and outs of the situation, Ye Haochuan still pretended to be surprised and said ¡°Oh,¡± but was a little shocked. He had not expected Lin Qingxuan¡¯s father to be a secretary, a typical powerful family indeed. Seeing that he did not object, Xiao Haimei continued, ¡°Because Lin Qingxuan recently suffered from a strange illness. She has seen many doctors to no avail, and her condition has only worsened. She often sleepwalks at night, her personality has become increasingly quirky, and she has even shown suicidal tendencies. If it weren¡¯t for Secretary Lin specifically asking for you by name, the school would have arranged for her to take a leave and go home.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded and chuckled, ¡°Well, it seems the family of Lin Qingxuan has found the right person. For this kind of strange illness, apart from Yours Truly Ye, I¡¯m afraid there really isn¡¯t anyone who can treat it.¡± Pfft, here he goes again, so full of himself, not knowing the first thing about humility. Xiao Haimei gave him a sideways glance and said, ¡°According to her family¡¯s request, you as the personal physician need to be with her twenty-four hours a day, especially at night, you can¡¯t leave her side. So, after discussions, the school has decided to arrange for you to move into Dormitory No. 7 and stay with her until her illness is cured¡­¡± ¡°Okay, no problem,¡± Ye Haochuan declared, patting his chest. Seeing how readily he agreed, Xiao Haimei suddenly had an uneasy feeling. Knowing this man¡¯s lecherous nature, what kind of romantic trouble could he stir up in the female dormitory of No. 7 Building? She was about to change her mind when she remembered that even her grandfather had agreed to it. If she refused, wouldn¡¯t that anger her grandfather? Her grandfather was no other than Xiao Jian, the old Clan Leader of the Xiao Family¡ªa person whose word was law in the Xiao Family. At the same time, he was also the elder she respected the most. Her becoming the chairman of Haishan University¡¯s board of directors during the recent personnel changes was the result of Xiao Jian pushing through the opposition. Although she did not understand why her grandfather insisted on having Ye Haochuan stay at Dormitory No. 7, Xiao Haimei still respected her grandfather¡¯s wishes. Perhaps the old man had his reasons. However, looking at Ye Haochuan¡¯s excited appearance, she felt it necessary to give the playboy a stern warning: ¡°Ye Haochuan, let me warn you, Dormitory No. 7 houses girls from families with complex backgrounds. It¡¯s best you restrain yourself, otherwise you won¡¯t even know how you died. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Understand?¡± ¡°Understood,¡± Ye Haochuan said; of course, he wouldn¡¯t start behaving recklessly now. First, he had to move in. ¡°Good, let¡¯s hope you can do as you say,¡± Xiao Haimei handed over a slip of paper, ¡°Here are the contact numbers of Lin Qingxuan¡¯s three roommates. Now, go move into Dormitory No. 7.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Ye Haochuan took the slip of paper, inwardly elated. Haha, beauties of Dormitory No. 7, brother is coming! ¡°Strange, by the look of you, why don¡¯t you seem happy at all? Building Seven, oh, that¡¯s where all the rich and beautiful congregate. Don¡¯t you find it even a little bit exciting? Or are you not a man at all, incapable of feeling anything?¡± Xiao Haimie said with a smile that wasn¡¯t quite a smile. Ye Haochuan was so frustrated. Please, just a moment ago you were warning me to hold back, and now you want me to act all thrilled? There¡¯s an old saying that really isn¡¯t wrong: Women are indeed strange creatures. If I¡¯m a bit unrestrained, she has to warn me. If I¡¯m decent and upright, she says I¡¯m not a man. Damn, what do you want from me, really? ¡°Sister Mei, don¡¯t think so poorly of me. I¡¯m a doctor. Going to Building Seven is to treat patients, nothing more. Please don¡¯t insult my noble profession,¡± Ye Haochuan said righteously. ¡°I hope you stay true to your words. Alright, off you go to report to Building Seven.¡± Watching his indignant look, Xiao Haimie covered her mouth with a giggle, stood up, and under her black silk long dress, a pair of straight, beautiful legs were faintly visible, full of temptation. Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyelids couldn¡¯t help but twitch, and he hesitated repeatedly, wondering whether to use ¡°Perspective¡± and take a peek to discover the secrets within, but after much thought, he couldn¡¯t bear to spoil such beauty. Sometimes, many beautiful things are more evocative when veiled, and exposing them completely would instead lose their charm. After parting ways with Xiao Haimie, Ye Haochuan first went to see Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming, told them about accepting the school¡¯s task to treat a girl in Building Seven, and left under their envious, jealous, and hateful gazes. Lei Yiming¡¯s driver loaded his suitcase all the way to the doorstep of Building Seven. Ye Haochuan took his suitcase out of the trunk, watched the Audi drive away, then took out his mobile phone and dialed one of Lin Qingxuan¡¯s roommates and close friends, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s number. From what he understood, Lin Qingxuan¡¯s condition was unstable, she was easily agitated, and had a strong aversion to doctors; therefore, Xiao Haimie provided him with her roommates¡¯ numbers so he could contact them before moving in. ¡°Hello, who¡¯s this?¡± a crisp and youthful voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°I¡¯m Ye Haochuan, a doctor from the school hospital, assigned by the school to treat Lin Qingxuan¡­¡± ¡°Oh oh oh, I know. I¡¯ll come down to get you in just a moment.¡± A few minutes later, Ye Haochuan¡¯s phone rang again, but it was Zhao Bingqian calling back. ¡°Doctor Ye, where are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m right at the entrance of Building Seven, with a suitcase by my side, and yeah, the very handsome one.¡± ¡°The most handsome? Why don¡¯t I see you? All I see is a bunch of old men.¡± Old men? I¡¯m an old man? Damn, do I really look that old? Ye Haochuan was both amused and exasperated. This Zhao Bingqian, she¡¯s no easy person to deal with either. It looks like I¡¯ll inevitably have to bicker with her in Building Seven. Chapter 21 - 21 21 This fairy is so precocious! ?21: Chapter 21 This fairy is so precocious! 21: Chapter 21 This fairy is so precocious! Ye Haochuan looked around and spotted a girl in a blue dress, holding a phone and looking around at the entrance of building number seven. ¡°Are you the one in the blue dress?¡± Ye Haochuan asked. ¡°Yes, uncle, where are you?¡± Damn, it looked like he couldn¡¯t shake off the nickname ¡°uncle,¡± Ye Haochuan reluctantly raised his hand and called out, ¡°Bro¡¯s over here!¡± When Zhao Bingqian saw Ye Haochuan waving at her, she hummed softly, ¡°Is that guy waving like a fool you?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s face was instantly covered in black lines. Did bro look like a fool? What kind of eyesight was that? ¡°Snap!¡± Ye Haochuan hung up the phone right away. Seeing that Ye Haochuan had hung up on her, Zhao Bingqian didn¡¯t get angry. Instead, she jumped over to him in three quick steps, grinning, ¡°Hello, silly uncle.¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless and didn¡¯t bother to respond, but his gaze scrutinized her. One had to admit that Zhao Bingqian was quite pretty. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, her face was extremely delicate, with big, watery eyes that were always smiling. However, beneath that, there was a hint of slyness. She looked like a mischievous spirit at first glance. Her hairstyle was avant-garde, sporting a mushroom cut, and her chest was as full as that of Han Xue¡¯er, a nurse he knew. But from her speech and behavior, she was clearly a different personality type from Han Xue¡¯er. While he was scrutinizing Zhao Bingqian, she was also sizing him up, with a clear gaze filled with a bit of skepticism. After a while, Zhao Bingqian tilted her head cutely and asked, ¡°Uncle, are you the one who came to treat my best friend? You don¡¯t look like it. You look so young, just graduated from Medical University, right?¡± Does this girl have a thing for uncles? Why does she keep calling me uncle? Ye Haochuan was completely speechless, thinking to himself to just let her call him whatever, and said, ¡°So, you doubt my medical skills then?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so young, uncle, isn¡¯t it normal to have doubts?¡± Zhao Bingqian hummed, her eyes carrying an innocent look. ¡°Alright, it seems like, unless I show you something today, you won¡¯t believe me,¡± Ye Haochuan said gravely. ¡°Sure, just show me something, and I¡¯ll believe you, uncle,¡± Zhao Bingqian said cheerily. ¡°Well then, I have a piece of medical advice for you as a physician, and I hope you take it seriously,¡± ¡°What advice?¡± ¡°Based on my estimation, your chest is at least an E-cup size. Your bra is too small; it¡¯s only a D-cup. I advise you to switch to an E-cup. It¡¯s not too big, not too small, just right. Otherwise, you¡¯re still in your growth period, and wearing a D-cup long term can block your milk ducts, which makes it hard to produce milk when you have a baby later on¡­¡± Where did Zhao Bingqian think his advice would be this? She immediately blushed and spat, ¡°Oh, uncle, you¡¯re so naughty!¡± After saying this, she even raised her hand and hit him. Ye Haochuan grinned proudly, finally getting back at this girl who kept calling him ¡°uncle,¡± so he didn¡¯t dodge, letting her hit him barely felt like a tickle. However, as she hit him, her breasts suddenly quivered as if they were about to burst through any barrier, which made Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart race, his blood boiling! ¡°Kids have no experience, bro won¡¯t quarrel with you. Go change your bra soon; otherwise, it might affect your growth¡­ Alright, let¡¯s go upstairs. I still have to check on your best friend¡¯s illness,¡± Ye Haochuan urged. ¡°I¡¯m certainly not a child, and what about me is small?¡± Zhao Bingqian said, intentionally thrusting out her chest. Looking at the peaks wrapped in blue fabric, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but swallow saliva, wishing he could reach out and play with them now, to see what it felt like to ravage such a youthful face. ¡°Perverted uncle, you were staring straight at me just now, did it go soft down there?¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled. Damn, if anyone says this fairy isn¡¯t of age, I¡¯ll kill them. This fairy is way too precocious! While Ye Haochuan was speechless, he suddenly felt a surge of Essence Qi from below his abdomen, and in an instant, vitality sprang forth vigorously. ¡°Alright, perverted uncle, let¡¯s go up,¡± she said. After speaking, like a cute elf, Zhao Bingqian bounced along, leading him to the dorm manager first to check in. The dorm manager clearly had been notified by the school authorities and only let him pass after carefully checking Ye Haochuan¡¯s ID and physician certificate. Afterward, Zhao Bingqian led Ye Haochuan to her own dormitory. Along the way, many girls residing in building seven looked at him as if seeing a monster, sizing him up, everyone a bit curious, wondering why a man was entering the women¡¯s dormitory, even carrying luggage? What was this situation? Some girls even cast surprised glances at Zhao Bingqian, whispering among themselves, assuming that Zhao Bingqian had brought her boyfriend to the dormitory to live together, saying all kinds of unpleasant things. Zhao Bingqian could clearly see what these people were thinking, yet she felt no embarrassment; instead, it was Ye Haochuan who felt awkward all over. During this time, Ye Haochuan more than once asked himself, am I not a pervert? S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Why isn¡¯t this girl afraid even a little? ¡°Hey, that¡­ Bingqian sister, won¡¯t you explain a bit? Otherwise, everyone will misunderstand,¡± Ye Haochuan reminded her. ¡°What¡¯s there to explain? To explain is to cover up, right! I believe the dorm manager will soon clarify things,¡± Zhao Bingqian said cheerfully. What else could Ye Haochuan say? When she wasn¡¯t worried, why should he concern himself with this? A few minutes later, they arrived outside room 512 on the fifth floor. ¡°Uncle, when we enter, don¡¯t say you¡¯re a physician, okay? If my roommate finds out you¡¯re a physician, she might lose control of her emotions. Just say you¡¯re a maintenance man arranged by the dorm manager, okay?¡± Zhao Bingqian said sweetly. Listening to her coquettish voice, Ye Haochuan felt his bones lighten, and bewitched, he said, ¡°Okay.¡± Then Zhao Bingqian took out a room card, swiped it in the sensing area, opened the door, and led Ye Haochuan inside. Upon entering the dorm, Ye Haochuan was stunned. Damn, this dorm is really luxurious and extravagant! The whole dorm was a four-room, two-hall, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom layout, plus a garden-style large balcony, luxuriously decorated, elegantly styled, and fully furnished, far beyond the simple dormitory he had lived in during his college days. He really wondered whether these girls from privileged families were here to study, or just to enjoy themselves? At that moment, Zhao Bingqian hushed him, saying, ¡°Qingxuan is asleep now, let¡¯s not wake her up¡­ Uncle, follow me.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded, following behind Zhao Bingqian into a fragrant room. After closing the room door, Zhao Bingqian said, ¡°I¡¯m now sharing this room with Qingxuan, so I¡¯ll let you stay in this one for now. Here are the keys for the outer door and this room, one each, for you.¡± Chapter 22 - 22 22 Mysterious Illness ?22: Chapter 22: Mysterious Illness 22: Chapter 22: Mysterious Illness Ye Haochuan took the keys and secured them, and just then, Zhao Bingqian asked, ¡°Uncle, did you bring a lot of clothes?¡± ¡°Quite a few.¡± ¡°Then this half of the wardrobe is yours to use,¡± Zhao Bingqian said, sliding one door of the wardrobe aside. Ye Haochuan just peeked inside and almost had a nosebleed. It turned out, one of the compartments was filled with bras and panties hanging from a round rack, colorful and flashy, looking oh-so provocative. Seeing his stunned expression, Zhao Bingqian suddenly leaned in, her pretty, cute face half-smiling, ¡°Uncle, do you feel like jerking off now?¡± ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but spit out, damn, this was his first time dealing with such a wild cat, way too outrageous. Does your mom know about this? Although ¡®young Haochuan¡¯ suddenly became as hard as iron, Ye Haochuan still resisted with great willpower, grinded his teeth and said, ¡°Go away, don¡¯t think of me as so depraved.¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled charmingly, seemingly finding his discomfiture quite an enjoyable sight. Then, Zhao Bingqian emptied one of the large compartments used to hang clothes, moved all the clothes to another compartment, and then said, ¡°Uncle, this big compartment that I¡¯ve cleared is for you now. I believe it¡¯ll fit a whole suitcase of your clothes easily.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded, then suddenly frowned, ¡°Are you not going to take away these bras and panties?¡± Zhao Bingqian tilted her head with a mischievous laugh, ¡°Weren¡¯t you being all serious just now? I trust that uncle won¡¯t jerk off to them. So, I¡¯m not taking them away.¡± This little sprite was intentionally trying to fan my lust. Damn it, she¡¯s stirring me up; I¡¯ll have a big release at them tonight! S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan¡¯s teeth itched with hate, but at that moment, he was helpless against her, bitterly thinking, little girl, you better not let me find a vibrator or something in your room! Next, Ye Haochuan started organizing his suitcase of clothes, shoes, and socks, arranging them neatly in the wardrobe. As for the pile of stuff like medical textbooks, graduation certificates, and degree documents, Zhao Bingqian organized them, placing them on a table under the bed. The bed was a solid wood multifunctional loft bed, used for sleeping on top and studying and living below, very practical and convenient. Ye Haochuan had just finished hanging up the clothes when suddenly, Zhao Bingqian spoke, ¡°Uncle, I didn¡¯t expect your girlfriend to be quite pretty.¡± I got dumped, where did a girlfriend come from? Ye Haochuan was startled for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw she was holding a photo frame, which contained a picture of him and He Yun from before. Seeing the photo of his ex-girlfriend, Ye Haochuan felt a pang in his heart, went forward to take the photo frame from Zhao Bingqian, then took out the photo placed within. He tore apart He Yun¡¯s half and shredded it. ¡°Uncle, why tear up a perfectly good photo?¡± Zhao Bingqian was dumbfounded. ¡°I¡¯ve ended things with her. Why keep it?¡± Ye Haochuan answered, then emotionlessly placed his own torn half back in the frame. Zhao Bingqian looked thoughtful, then suddenly cracked a smile, ¡°Uncle, I really didn¡¯t see it coming, you have a sad story too, huh? Come on, spill the beans, make missy here happy.¡± ¡°Boring.¡± Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t be bothered with her. ¡°No worries, uncle, missy here knows a lot of beauties, I¡¯ll introduce them all to you, pick anyone you like,¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled. ¡°Forget it, if you introduced yourself to me, I might consider it,¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled. ¡°No problem.¡± To his surprise, Zhao Bingqian didn¡¯t refuse but instead narrowed her beautiful eyes mischievously at him and said, ¡°However, to be my boyfriend, you need to meet some tough criteria. Fall short of thirty centimeters, no discussion!¡± Damn, this little sprite. Ye Haochuan was completely speechless; he had wanted to flirt with this young girl, but now he had to firmly squash the thought. Because, according to the little sprite¡¯s standards, he didn¡¯t measure up¡ªexactly three centimeters short, how tragic! Seeing his ashen face silent, Zhao Bingqian laughed so hard her body shook, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Uncle, chickening out? Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t give you a chance.¡± Ye Haochuan reluctantly glanced at her, ¡°Boring. I¡¯m not backing out. I¡¯m just not interested in an immature little Lolita like you. Maybe in a few more years.¡± ¡°Giggle, uncle, your lies are so lame,¡± Zhao Bingqian clearly did not believe him and puffed out her ample chest, smiling brightly, ¡°Uncle, dare you say you¡¯re not interested in me?¡± Being seen through, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but feel somewhat embarrassed, this little sprite, truly cunning, and unstoppable! At that moment, a shrill scream came from outside. Zhao Bingqian¡¯s face changed, and she hurried to open the door, ¡°Qingxuan has woken up; I¡¯m going to check on her, uncle, you clean up here first.¡± After saying that, she hurriedly opened the door and left. Ye Haochuan grunted, just as he shoved his suitcase under the bed, suddenly, he heard Zhao Bingqian¡¯s screaming voice, ¡°Uncle, hurry over, Qingxuan has gone mad¡­ Ah! Help!¡± Lastly, suddenly a scream¡ªit was Zhao Bingqian crying for help. Ye Haochuan did not dare delay and quickly rushed over, only to see in the room a girl in a floral check nightgown, with messy hair, had her back to him and was pressing Zhao Bingqian against the headboard, hands strangling her neck in a fierce manner. No need to say, this girl was Lin Qingxuan. Unexpectedly, she was trying to strangle her own close friend. ¡°Stop it!¡± Ye Haochuan jumped, quickly rushing forward and grabbed her slender waist, intending to move her away, but as soon as his hands touched her slender waist, a thought crossed his mind: Such a fine and soft waist! However, Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t dwell on it, as saving her was urgent. He applied a little more force with his hands, attempting to move Lin Qingxuan aside, but to no avail! Ye Haochuan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself how strong Lin Qingxuan was, unable to move her at all! With resolve, his Longevity True Qi began to flow, increasing the force in his hands, and finally, moved Lin Qingxuan away from Zhao Bingqian! Zhao Bingqian was rescued and sat up straight at the head of the bed, gasping for breath with a face full of shock. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Ye Haochuan tossed out the question. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Zhao Bingqian shook her head, then suddenly her face turned terrified, ¡°Uncle, be careful.¡± Ye Haochuan turned his head to look, only to see Lin Qingxuan, who had a refined and delicate face, suddenly turn ferocious. Her eyes, which were once clear and charming, now emitted a bloodthirsty glow, as though she wanted to devour him alive. Ye Haochuan immediately felt a chill run down his spine, damn, what kind of strange illness did this Lin Qingxuan have? Why did she look so terrifying? Chapter 23 - 23 23 Holy Hand 18 Needles ?23: Chapter 23: Holy Hand 18 Needles 23: Chapter 23: Holy Hand 18 Needles At that moment, Lin Qingxuan suddenly reached out her hand, trying to grab Ye Haochuan¡¯s neck and kill him. Ye Haochuan knew that this was not the time for mercy. He dodged by turning his head, and at the same time, he took the opportunity to pin Lin Qingxuan¡¯s hands behind her against the wardrobe. However, the strength of Lin Qingxuan was beyond his expectation; she struggled violently, kicking her legs wildly like a startled rabbit. If not for his quick reaction, pressing his waist against her and securing her legs with his thighs, she might have gone out of control again. Damn, Young Haochuan, are you not fighting hard enough? Tempted so easily? You are banned from eating meat for three months! Ye Haochuan was distracted by wild thoughts, but he knew that saving her was the priority now, so these messy thoughts had to be put aside! From Lin Qingxuan¡¯s behavior just now, radiating malevolent Qi, she seemed to be possessed, otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have gone mad, and now she couldn¡¯t react while being pressed down by him. With a thought, Ye Haochuan urged the Longevity True Qi from his dantian, enhancing the Perspective effect gradually; as Lin Qingxuan¡¯s skin, flesh, blood vessels, and organs disappeared, revealing her skeleton, a mass of black malevolent Qi suddenly emerged, becoming denser with deeper Perspective. ¡°Damn, I understand now, possessed by a ghost!¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly realized. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Meanwhile, Zhao Bingqian also regained her composure, and upon hearing his words, she paused, ¡°Uncle, what do you mean by ¡®possessed by a ghost¡¯?¡± Ye Haochuan knew he had misspoken. In current society, where atheism was deeply rooted, telling Zhao Bingqian might lead her to spread the word and cause societal panic. So he corrected himself: ¡°Possessed by a ghost is actually a common expression. Simply put, it¡¯s a kind of hysteria where one is prone to hallucinations. Your friend is physically weak, affected by the cold, which weakened her constitution. In addition, something must have triggered her, causing her mind to become unclear and often produce hallucinations. That¡¯s why she didn¡¯t recognize you just now and thought you were a bad person trying to kill you.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Bingqian¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here; she can¡¯t hurt you,¡± Ye Haochuan reassured her. Only then did Zhao Bingqian calm down and quickly asked if he could cure her friend. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Now that we know the disease, curing her is a trivial matter. However, a complete recovery in a short time is impossible. Her condition has been neglected for too long; it¡¯s nearly past curing,¡± Ye Haochuan said gravely. He was absolutely right; during his Perspective, he hadn¡¯t seen the ferocious ghost¡¯s presence until he viewed the skeleton, indicating just how deeply the ghost had embedded itself within Lin Qingxuan¡¯s bones. Having diagnosed the condition, Ye Haochuan began the treatment by deftly manipulating his fingers to acupoint Lin Qingxuan¡¯s body. In just a while, Lin Qingxuan slumped down limply, no longer frenzied, and fell into a deep sleep. Zhao Bingqian watched in wonder, thinking that this man didn¡¯t seem like a doctor but more like a charlatan. However, seeing his serious demeanor, she did not interrupt, merely watching quietly. At that point, Ye Haochuan took out his needle bag, which he always carried with him, and laid it out beside the bed. He then instructed Zhao Bingqian, ¡°Cut the back of your friend¡¯s nightgown for me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhao Bingqian couldn¡¯t believe her ears. ¡°Hurry up!¡± Ye Haochuan demanded, his face devoid of any lascivious expression. He was well aware that though he had acupoint Lin Qingxuan¡¯s body to immobilize her, the powerful ferocious ghost lurking within Zhao Bingqian could soon break free from the acupoints and reactivate Lin Qingxuan¡¯s mobility. ¡°What¡¯s with the hostility?¡± muttered Zhao Bingqian defiantly, but she complied anyway. Yet she kept grumbling internally, believing that this pervert was just making up a lowly excuse to take advantage of her friend. Being open-minded and blunt by nature, she didn¡¯t want her friend to be taken advantage of. She even resolved that if he didn¡¯t manage to save her friend, she would see how she could torture him until he was desperate. Ye Haochuan, unaware of Zhao Bingqian¡¯s thoughts, watched as she carefully cut the nightgown with a pair of scissors, exposing Lin Qingxuan¡¯s flawless back, and then said, ¡°Also undo your friend¡¯s bra strap; otherwise, it will block the acupuncture points I need to access.¡± Zhao Bingqian gave him a look, grinding her teeth, thinking, you better behave, if you dare mess with my friend, I¡¯ll castrate you. To her surprise, when Ye Haochuan performed the acupuncture, he was utterly focused and serious, his eyes not straying, and his technique was highly skilled. In a short time, she saw her friend¡¯s back densely covered with silver needles. Despite the numerous needles, Zhao Bingqian could feel that they were methodically arranged, seemingly containing profound medical principles. In fact, if an acupuncture expert were here, he would immediately recognize the significance: this was the Holy Hand Eighteen Needles derived from the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles by Holy Hand himself during his lifetime, incorporating the mysterious powers of Buddhism¡¯s Eighteen Arhats, effective in suppressing evil spirits. Just three minutes later, Zhao Bingqian noticed her friend slowly waking up, opening her eyes. Zhao Bingqian said joyfully, ¡°Qingxuan, you¡¯re awake? Do you know you almost strangled me just now?¡± Lin Qingxuan tried to speak, but no words came out. Zhao Bingqian then looked at Ye Haochuan, seemingly waiting for an explanation. ¡°I¡¯ve acupunctured her, she can¡¯t move just yet, wait a moment,¡± Ye Haochuan said solemnly. Zhao Bingqian acknowledged with a sound, while the bedridden Lin Qingxuan blushed deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed. She had been turning her head aside and thus hadn¡¯t seen Ye Haochuan; the presence of a male voice in the room was already shocking enough. Furthermore, with her back exposed to the air, clearly visible to any man, how could she not feel awkward? Chapter 24 - 24 24 Upper Body ?24: Chapter 24 Upper Body 24: Chapter 24 Upper Body Time ticked by, second by second. Lying on the bed, Lin Qingxuan felt as if each day lasted an eternity. When had she ever been in such a state before a strange man? If it hadn¡¯t been for her best friend Zhao Bingqian constantly encouraging and comforting her at her side, she would have wanted to bite her own tongue and end her life. Finally, after ten minutes, Ye Haochuan released her acupoints and pulled out the eighteen silver needles from her back. Lin Qingxuan instantly felt her stiff body regain movement and hurriedly grabbed the thin blanket on the bed to cover herself. Remembering the embarrassing situation she had just been in, her face burned with shame, wishing she could just crawl into a crack in the ground. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s finally done. Miss Lin, your illness won¡¯t recur in the short term, so you can rest assured. I will quickly find a way to cure your illness completely.¡± After speaking, Ye Haochuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Administering acupuncture to Lin Qingxuan, he had used quite a bit of his Longevity True Qi and now felt exhausted, needing to return to his room to recuperate. ¡°Thank you,¡± murmured Lin Qingxuan, her voice as soft as a mosquito¡¯s, still turning her head away. Ye Haochuan knew full well she was shy, remembering how just moments ago he had seen the full beauty of her body. He felt a fiery warmth in his heart that was indescribable, and with a slight smile, he said, ¡°Miss Lin, there¡¯s one thing I need to find out about you¡­¡± Before he could finish, Zhao Bingqian stood up and interrupted, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, uncle, have you finished checking her out? If you¡¯re done, then quickly leave, our Qingxuan needs to change clothes.¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless. Wasn¡¯t he just trying to understand the condition? Was there really a need to rush him out so urgently? Besides, she wasn¡¯t without a blanket to cover her, so what was the big deal if she didn¡¯t change clothes right away? ¡°What¡¯s the rush? I just have one question to ask, and after that, I¡¯ll naturally leave.¡± Having said that, Ye Haochuan ignored Zhao Bingqian and gravely addressed Lin Qingxuan, ¡°Miss Lin, what is your birth date? Also¡­¡± Zhao Bingqian couldn¡¯t bear to listen and interrupted, ¡°Please, uncle, if you want to get close to our beautiful Miss Lin, you don¡¯t need to go about it this way. Let me tell you, that move is way too clich¨¦.¡± Lin Qingxuan¡¯s face was buried in the thin blanket from the shame, and she too had not expected this boy to start by asking these things. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Please, who said I was trying to pursue Miss Lin? I want to understand her exact birthdate for her condition, understand?¡± Ye Haochuan glared at Zhao Bingqian. ¡°Yeah right, who knows if that¡¯s really what you¡¯re thinking,¡± retorted Zhao Bingqian with a pout. Meanwhile, Lin Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, yet for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart. She had stolen a glance at Ye Haochuan just a moment ago. He was tall, handsome, and had an air of positivity about him, especially those eyes, which were like black gems, causing her heart to flutter. Though she did not share the traditional belief that if a man saw her body, she should commit herself to him, how could she, having never experienced romance, not be touched by his good looks? ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯ll ask one more time, I hope you can tell me your birthdate so I can determine the cause of your illness,¡± Ye Haochuan said earnestly. Hearing this, Lin Qingxuan bashfully murmured her birth time. ¡°You were born at noon? In that case, the situation is serious¡­¡± Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, talking to himself. Both Lin Qingxuan and Zhao Bingqian, the pair of best friends, were taken aback. Unhappily, Zhao Bingqian asked, ¡°Uncle, why can¡¯t you just speak plainly? You keep leaving us hanging.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed and waved his hand, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s no use telling you guys. You can do as you please, I¡¯m going out.¡± ¡°Scram.¡± Zhao Bingqian raised her middle finger in dissatisfaction. Bang! As soon as the door closed, Lin Qingxuan quickly sat up straight, her body tense as she asked, ¡°Qianqian, who is he? A doctor?¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled, ¡°Why? Are you already eager to dig into the background of your future boyfriend?¡± Lin Qingxuan flushed with embarrassment, ¡°How could that be? I just wanted to clarify if he really is a doctor. Just now he¡­ oh gosh, it was so embarrassing.¡± Zhao Bingqian laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Qingxuan, he is a genuine doctor with real skills. You know what? The way you were acting just now was really scary, you almost strangled me to death.¡± Lin Qingxuan looked confused, ¡°I almost strangled you just now?¡± That was when Zhao Bingqian described her frantic episode. Lin Qingxuan couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°My goodness, what happened? Qianqian, are you alright? But I¡­ I really didn¡¯t know anything just now!¡± ¡°Relax, Qingxuan, I know it was beyond your control. The uncle has already told me about your condition; you¡¯ve got a hysterical disorder that can cause hallucinations. He said that he¡¯s confident he can cure your illness,¡± Zhao Bingqian said. ¡­ While the two girls were chattering away in the room, Ye Haochuan had already returned to his own bedroom, locked the door behind him, and sat on the bed, his brows furrowed. ¡°Lin Qingxuan was born at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, meaning she should naturally have a strong yang energy, making her an unlikely host for any spirits. But the situation is totally different now, which suggests that someone must be manipulating things behind the scenes. But who could it be?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes flashed as he suddenly remembered what Long Xiaotian had said¡ªthat Lin Qingxuan was very important, and even assigned him to protect her as a private doctor, though he did not explain why she was so important. From this, it¡¯s clear that someone is out to harm Lin Qingxuan. If I could follow the threads and use the ferocious ghost inside her to find out who¡¯s pulling the strings behind the scenes, perhaps everything would be resolved. However, my cultivation is too weak right now; I must advance to the Postnatal Early Stage as soon as possible to stand a chance. And only by reaching the Postnatal Early Stage would I be strong enough to confront the master of Hellfire, the one backing Sun Zhe. With this in mind, Ye Haochuan¡¯s ambition surged, and he started to meditate and regulate his breath, cultivating the Longevity Technique like an old monk entering a meditative trance¡­ He had no idea how much time had passed when a knocking at his door roused him. He barely opened his eyes and took a look towards the door with his Perspective, and saw Zhao Bingqian bringing two other girls to his doorstep. No need to guess, they were Lin Qingxuan¡¯s other two roommates. They were knocking now, probably wanting to meet the sole male who had moved into the girls¡¯ dormitory in building seven. Feeling that his spirit had much improved and considering it would be good to meet a few beauties as a newcomer, he decided to get up from bed and open the door. Zhao Bingqian, who had been impatiently waiting, saw him finally open the door and pouted her lips, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re so arrogant! We¡¯ve been knocking for such a long time and you just wouldn¡¯t open the door. What¡¯s the meaning of this? You better not have been hiding in there jerking off.¡± Jerking off? Ye Haochuan was stunned speechless, you really dare to say anything, huh! Do I look like the kind of guy who needs to jerk off to deal with loneliness? Chapter 25 - 25 25 Pleasing Others and Oneself ?25: Chapter 25 Pleasing Others and Oneself 25: Chapter 25 Pleasing Others and Oneself Behind them, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s two girlfriends couldn¡¯t help but giggle, clearly amused by Zhao Bingqian. Moreover, seeing Ye Haochuan¡¯s face lined with black threads, the two girls thought he was quite entertaining. However, the next thing Ye Haochuan said left the two girls gaping in astonishment. ¡°Miss Zhao Bingqian, what on earth is filling your head?¡± As he spoke, Ye Haochuan deliberately winked at Zhao Bingqian. Zhao Bingqian giggled playfully, ¡°Mister, if you dare, watch out, this young lady will cripple you.¡± Looking at Zhao Bingqian¡¯s mischievous appearance, Ye Haochuan instinctively squeezed his legs together. This chick was ruthless! The two girls beside them blushed with embarrassment. These two were such an odd pair, how could they speak without any filters? ¡°Scared now, are you?¡± Zhao Bingqian looked at him triumphantly and snorted, ¡°Good to be afraid. Try that trick in front of this young lady, and I guarantee you¡¯ll start questioning your life choices.¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan was speechless, having met such a quirky and unpredictable girl; Brother was wounded. ¡°Alright, come here, let me introduce someone to you. This is the intellectual beauty of our dormitory, known for both her wisdom and beauty, Zhang Ziyi. Listen up, Sister Ziyi is a famous beauty painter from our school. If you want to get a portrait done, you can find her at the Art College.¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless again, too lazy to argue with her, and greeted Zhang Ziyi, ¡°Hi, beautiful painter, hello!¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Zhang Ziyi said, nodding at him shyly. Just as Zhao Bingqian had described, this beauty painter really was an intellectual beauty. She wore black-framed glasses that revealed piercing, clear eyes behind the lenses, suggesting depth and spirituality. Her shoulder-length straight hair hung like a cascade, and she was dressed in an elegant chiffon dress, which made her look stylish and graceful. In fact, if spoken strictly, her facial features were not stunning, but they were extremely refined. To describe her skin as creamy wasn¡¯t an overstatement; she was the kind of beauty that grew on you ¡ª not immediately striking, but increasingly appealing as one looked on. Then, Zhao Bingqian began to introduce the other girl, ¡°And this one here is the most musically talented genius beauty of our dormitory, Su Yingxue, who plays a mean piano. She often wins championships in competitions at our school.¡± Ah,¡± replied Ye Haochuan, nodding his head but his gaze lingered on Su Yingxue. She had a lovely oval face, sensual red lips lightly glossed, and a small mole at the corner of her mouth, adding a unique charm. Her full bust stretched a white blouse tight, giving a peek at the fiery hint of color between the buttons. However, what impressed Ye Haochuan most were her slender, fair hands, creamy like that bathed in milk, glossy, and despite the slightly visible marks from playing the piano, they inspired an irresistible urge to touch. Su Yingxue¡¯s cheeks turned red under his stare, her ears did not escape the flush either. Her appealing look was heart-stirring. Seeing the situation turning somewhat awkward, Zhao Bingqian quickly jumped in to smooth things over, suggesting everyone go to the living room to sit and chat, to get to know each other better. Once in the living room, Ye Haochuan saw Lin Qingxuan bringing out bags of snacks and placing them on the coffee table. However, upon seeing him, Lin Qingxuan¡¯s body shuddered, and her cheeks instantly turned as red as apples, becoming somewhat uneasy. At this moment, Ye Haochuan had a different sensation altogether. He could say he had never seen a woman with such a slender waist before. Previously, she was wearing a nightgown which made it hard to notice, but now, beneath her tight T-shirt, that slim figure was undeniably prominent. Moreover, her face was naturally pretty, so saying she was naturally beautiful wouldn¡¯t be too far a stretch. Even when compared with a beautiful company president like Xiao Haimei, she didn¡¯t fall short¡ªin fact, she might even have an edge. Only, because she had been possessed by a ferocious ghost and tormented for a long time, her features were more gaunt and her skin paler, showing a kind of pitiable beauty that stirred a strong protective desire in others. Encouraged by Zhao Bingqian, the group¡ªone guy and four girls¡ªsat on the sofa just chatting away. The whole time, it was Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian who led the conversation, one bold, the other shameless; they got along famously. However, Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue were all left blushing and in an awkward yet thrilling atmosphere. However, after some interaction, although the girls had some reservations about Ye Haochuan¡¯s shameless nature, they recognized his medical skills. Before long, Su Yingxue approached him for help. ¡°Brother Ye, could you take a look at me, it hurts so much every time I get that thing,¡± Su Yingxue asked timidly, her head hanging down low. Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°I could stop it for ten months, one shot, and you¡¯re done.¡± Chapter 26 - 26 26 Talisman Instrument ?26: Chapter 26 Talisman Instrument 26: Chapter 26 Talisman Instrument What, no period for ten months? Do they think we¡¯re that easy to fool? Su Yingxue, sharp as ice and snow, could clearly hear the implication in his words and gave him a glare, ¡°Brother Ye, you¡¯re so naughty.¡± The other three girls couldn¡¯t stop giggling, evidently catching on to the meaning as well. Ye Haochuan pretended to be innocent, ¡°What did I do wrong? I really do have a way to keep you from getting your period for ten months, for real.¡± ¡°Indecent.¡± Su Yingxue blushed and spat at him. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t stop blushing, Ye Haochuan laughed and said seriously, ¡°Actually, the way to alleviate your dysmenorrhea is simple, through diet therapy to regulate the body, replenishing Qi and blood, and gradually you¡¯ll feel much less pain during your period.¡± Hearing him say this, Su Yingxue¡¯s blush subsided a bit, ¡°But Brother Ye, where do we get these diet therapy meals? I don¡¯t know how!¡± Ye Haochuan smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, tomorrow I¡¯m going to the herbal medicine market to get some diet therapy ingredients for Qingxuan, the beauty, to replenish her body, and I¡¯ll conveniently bring some back for you too.¡± ¡°I want some too,¡± Zhang Ziyi clamored. ¡°You have dysmenorrhea too?¡± Ye Haochuan asked with exaggerated surprise. Zhang Ziyi blushed and nodded, ¡°If the diet therapy can lessen the pain, I¡¯d like to try it too.¡± S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Alright, no problem, I¡¯ll buy more herbs tomorrow,¡± Ye Haochuan assured, patting his chest. ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re biased. You¡¯re buying herbs for Sister Ziyi and Yingxue, and you completely forget about me and Qingxuan?¡± Zhao Bingqian pouted unhappily. ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll buy, I¡¯ll buy for you too. Who told you helping others is my biggest flaw?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. Upon hearing this, the four girls laughed together, their voices melodious and sweet, leaving Ye Haochuan dazzled ¨C with four beauties, each unique in style and grace, all living together in the future; it would be like having a pavilion near the water, not to mention the inexhaustible joy for the eyes! Early the next morning, while Ye Haochuan was still meditating and cultivating the Longevity Technique, there came a knock at the door; it was Lin Qingxuan and Zhao Bingqian, who had bought breakfast from the nearby school cafeteria for him to enjoy. After stuffing a few soup dumplings and drinking a cup of soy milk, Ye Haochuan felt a lot better with his previously empty stomach now comforted. ¡°Uncle, aren¡¯t you supposed to go to the herbal medicine market today? Why don¡¯t we accompany you? Missy here will drive for you,¡± Zhao Bingqian suggested. Ye Haochuan thought it was a good idea, as having her drive would save him the trouble of carrying bags full of herbs. He smiled, ¡°You can go if you want, but it¡¯s best for Qingxuan to stay in the dormitory. She¡¯s weak right now and shouldn¡¯t go outside.¡± The real reason was that he remembered Dragon Roar Tian¡¯s instructions; Lin Qingxuan was extremely important, and with his current strength not sufficient, taking her out of the university could be risky if they encountered a master from Hellfire ¨C he might not be able to withstand them. And around Haishan University, Dragon Roar Tian had secretly arranged for masters from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect to protect Lin Qingxuan, which should be foolproof. Seeing his attitude, Lin Qingxuan felt a little disappointed but complied. Zhao Bingqian noticed her thoughts and comforted, ¡°Qingxuan, don¡¯t worry, Uncle and I will be back quickly.¡± ¡°Then be careful,¡± Lin Qingxuan said quickly, stealing a glance at Ye Haochuan, a hint of shyness surfacing on her pale face. ¡­ In Haishan City Center, outside the large entrance to the herbal medicine market, a BMW slowly came to a stop in the parking lot. Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian got out of the BMW and headed toward the largest herbal medicine shop. ¡°Hello, sir, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need to purchase?¡± As soon as Haishan entered the doorway of the shop, an attendant immediately greeted him. Ye Haochuan handed over a piece of paper and said, ¡°Everything I need is written on here, hurry up and prepare it.¡± The attendant took the paper, glanced at it, and felt a surge of ecstasy. Although most of the items listed were common medicines, the quantities were substantial. With the coming commission, he could easily earn over a thousand yuan. ¡°Of course, sir, please wait a moment, I¡¯ll arrange it right away,¡± the attendant said before busying himself with the task. Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian made themselves comfortable in the waiting area, where a female receptionist brought them tea to quench their thirst. Feeling utterly bored, Zhao Bingqian started asking Ye Haochuan about some knowledge on medicines for beauty and skincare, and the two of them had a pleasant chat. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not far behind, as if customers were passing by. Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t pay much attention and continued talking with Zhao Bingqian. ¡°Young Master Sun, do you think Eighth Master is sick in the head, making us spend a million to buy such a shoddy Copper Furnace from the antique market?¡± ¡°Exactly, Young Master Sun, no matter how I look at this Copper Furnace, it doesn¡¯t seem valuable. Please don¡¯t let Eighth Master get ripped off.¡± ¡°What do you know? Eighth Master¡¯s insights are profound and unfathomable. If he asks me to buy such a Copper Furnace, he must have his reasons. It¡¯s just a million, I can afford it.¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan felt the voice sounded eerily familiar. He turned his head and saw a group of people entering the shop, led by none other than Sun Zhe, whom he had taught a harsh lesson to before. Next to Sun Zhe, one of his subordinates was cradling a small Copper Furnace in his arms, which looked unremarkable and not very large. However, judging by the complex and arcane talismans on the small Copper Furnace, Ye Haochuan had a hunch that it was no ordinary item. With a thought, Ye Haochuan used his Perspective ability and before long a faint yellow mist enveloped the small Copper Furnace, clearly indicating that it was not a Mortal Artifact. According to the knowledge inherited from the Holy Hand, the yellow mist shrouding the Copper Furnace signified it was a rare Talisman Instrument Magical Treasure. In the Ancient Martial Arts World, Magical Treasures often possessed the ability to enhance attack or defense, or were used for Alchemy and Pill Refinement. Magical Treasures also have different levels, with the lowest being Mortal Artifacts. Mortal Artifacts, simple and ordinary, only possess basic physical attack and defense capabilities, similar to the porcelain bowls used in ordinary households. Above Mortal Artifacts, in ascending order, are Talisman Instruments, Magic Artifacts, and Spiritual Artifacts. Whether they are Talisman Instruments, Magic Artifacts, or Spiritual Artifacts, they are often engraved with talismans by man, thus imbued with special attributes, granting them various special effects. As for what exists beyond Spiritual Artifacts, the Holy Hand¡¯s memories do not specify, but Ye Haochuan firmly believed that there must be Magical Treasures higher than Spiritual Artifacts. ¡°Damn, such a treasure falling into the hands of someone like Sun Zhe is truly pearls cast before swine,¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head. However, just as he was about to turn back around, one of Sun Zhe¡¯s men behind him spotted Ye Haochuan and immediately shouted, ¡°Fuck, Young Master Sun, isn¡¯t that Ye Haochuan sitting over there?¡± All eyes from Sun Zhe¡¯s group turned towards Ye Haochuan in surprise. Upon seeing Ye Haochuan, Sun Zhe¡¯s eyes instantly flared with intense hatred, and when his gaze fell on Zhao Bingqian sitting next to Ye Haochuan, his eyes sparkled. Wasn¡¯t this Goddess Bingqian, who lived in Building 7 at Haishan University? This was perfect. Goddess Bingqian came from a distinguished family, not much inferior to the Sun Family. If he could win her over, a powerful alliance through marriage would surely earn his father¡¯s respect. But soon, his brow furrowed in irritation. Damn it, why was Goddess Bingqian with that guy Ye Haochuan? What was their relationship? Chapter 27 - 27 27 Youre way too na?ve! ?27: Chapter 27: You¡¯re way too na?ve! 27: Chapter 27: You¡¯re way too na?ve! ¡°Guys, surround him for me.¡± Sun Zhe was feeling irked, he let out a roar. His burning gaze kept sweeping over Zhao Bingqian¡¯s ample chest, thinking to himself that if he could get a feel, he¡¯d be ecstatic. At that moment, his buddies rushed up and encircled Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian. Ye Haochuan frowned, recalling the last time he taught Sun Zhe a lesson; there were even more people then than now. Yet this brat seemed to have not learned his lesson, so he must have some reliance. Ye Haochuan guessed right; Sun Zhe wouldn¡¯t dare to provoke him if he didn¡¯t have something to rely on. ¡°Ye Haochuan, it¡¯s really like looking for a needle in a haystack, and suddenly, when I turned around, you were hiding out here. Dammit, I was just looking everywhere to settle scores with you, and you¡¯re actually here,¡± Sun Zhe said, pointing at Zhao Bingqian and then to Ye Haochuan, ¡°Let¡¯s set aside our business for now. First, tell me, what¡¯s your relationship with my future wife?¡± Zhao Bingqian rolled her eyes upon hearing this and rebuked, ¡°Who is your future wife? Watch your mouth and just look at your ugly mug.¡± Sun Zhe chuckled and said, ¡°If I say you¡¯re my future wife, then you are. Hmph, the women I, Sun Zhe, want, none can escape the palm of my hand.¡± Zhao Bingqian was so angry that her chest trembled. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Ye Haochuan gave a slight smile, pulled her behind him, and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of this guy.¡± Zhao Bingqian uttered an ¡°oh¡± and obediently stepped back. This scene did not escape Sun Zhe¡¯s eyes, and his eyes blazed with jealousy. ¡°You just asked me what my relationship with her is, right? Listen up, she¡¯s my girlfriend,¡± Ye Haochuan announced loudly. Upon hearing this, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s face blushed as she thought, who¡¯s your girlfriend, wishful thinking! However, since Ye Haochuan was helping her, she didn¡¯t bother to clarify. ¡°Shit!¡± Sun Zhe was furious and said viciously, ¡°Ye Haochuan, you dare to touch my woman, tell me how you want to die today, and I¡¯ll oblige!¡± ¡°My dear grandson, shouldn¡¯t I be the one saying that to you?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed. Sun Zhe completely lost it. His surname being Sun often led to people teasing him by calling him ¡°grandson,¡± which made him very sensitive about it. ¡°Ye Haochuan, stop being so damn cocky. If I don¡¯t beat you to death today, then I¡¯m not Sun Zhe,¡± said Sun Zhe. After speaking, he took out a small plastic bottle, spilled out a pill, swallowed it himself, and then tossed the bottle to the others. ¡°Are they taking drugs?¡± Zhao Bingqian couldn¡¯t help but laugh at the sight, ¡°As if taking drugs would increase their combat capabilities? A bunch of idiots!¡± Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t join in, his brow furrowed. With his inheritance of the Holy Hand¡¯s knowledge, how could he not recognize the pill? It was actually a Body-Strengthening Pill! The effects of the Body-Strengthening Pill were extremely domineering. After consumption, it would stimulate the human body¡¯s potential, enhancing strength and speed, even more than stimulants. However, the effect of the pill wouldn¡¯t last long, usually disappearing after a mere quarter of an hour. Moreover, one couldn¡¯t take too many of these Body-Strengthening Pills, as they had a significant side effect: they accelerated aging. Suddenly, a faint cracking sound was heard. Ye Haochuan immediately noticed that Sun Zhe, who had taken the Body-Strengthening Pill first, began to swell. His bones and muscles were expanding, making his clothes puff out, and sections that were too tight simply tore apart. In a short while, Sun Zhe had transformed into a Schwarzenegger-like figure, his muscles exuding explosive strength. The employees at the traditional Chinese medicine shop, watching from a distance, also opened their mouths in disbelief. ¡°This is so freaky¡­¡± Zhao Bingqian covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open in shock. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be scared, I¡¯m here,¡± Ye Haochuan said gravely. ¡°Hmm, uncle, I believe in you.¡± Zhao Bingqian nodded, a determined expression showing on her sweet and innocent face. Ye Haochuan then placed Zhao Bingqian behind him, but to his surprise, the girl didn¡¯t seem scared at all, which he found odd. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Isn¡¯t Uncle with me?¡± Zhao Bingqian asked, tilting her head and giggling lightly, her utmost trust in him filling Ye Haochuan with an overwhelming protective instinct. If it had been anyone else, they would probably be scared to death by now, but not him. To Ye Haochuan, those who relied on Body-Strengthening Pills to bolster their strength were no match for him; he could take them down within minutes. Of course, he wasn¡¯t entirely without apprehension. However, he had already scoped out his surroundings and noticed that that Eighth Master was not nearby. This undoubtedly gave him confidence. Actually, he hadn¡¯t intended to provoke Sun Zhe so soon because he didn¡¯t want to face that Eighth Master prematurely. That Eighth Master was extremely powerful, and without reaching the Postnatal Early Stage, Ye Haochuan wasn¡¯t confident he could win against him. But now, with Sun Zhe provoking him, it meant there was no way back. He had no choice but to confront the challenge. Besides, deep down, he had a burning desire for that Copper Furnace. If he could snatch it from Sun Zhe, it would undoubtedly speed up the refinement process and enhance the quality of the Qi Condensation Pills he crafted. At this moment, Sun Zhe¡¯s companions had also ingested the Body-Strengthening Pills and undergone their metamorphosis. ¡°Ye Haochuan, scared, huh? If you know what¡¯s good for you, get away from my future wife. I¡¯ll just cripple one of your legs. If you don¡¯t listen, I¡¯ll cripple three,¡± Sun Zhe inflated with his post-transformation physique, his face bloating atypically, making him look grotesque as he spoke. ¡°Scared?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed loudly, ¡°You want to take out three of my legs? You¡¯ll have to see if you¡¯ve got the ability to do that.¡± Seeing Ye Haochuan remaining arrogant, Sun Zhe lost his patience and shouted, ¡°Guys, take this son of a bitch down.¡± Immediately, Sun Zhe¡¯s companions pounced like bloodthirsty beasts, their speed astonishing onlookers. Just then, the panicked owner of the herbal medicine shop ran over, hoping Sun Zhe would take the fight outside. ¡°Get the hell out of here. Keep on blabbering, and I¡¯ll take you down too,¡± Sun Zhe snapped. Post-transformation, Sun Zhe¡¯s face was terrifying. The shop owner, horrified by his threat, went pale and shrank back. ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡± Ye Haochuan was now locked in combat with Sun Zhe¡¯s companions. It was undeniable that these men, after consuming the Body-Strengthening Pills, were very fast, but Ye Haochuan was even faster. Everyone there could hardly make out his movements, and in the blink of an eye, two of Sun Zhe¡¯s companions were struck in their vital spots and fell to the ground, wailing in pain. Then, under the dazed gaze of Sun Zhe, the remaining companions were all taken down by Ye Haochuan in less than half a minute. ¡°Ah, it hurts so much.¡± ¡°Ouch, my arm is going to break, damn it, that guy really hits hard!¡± ¡°Fuck, Young Master Sun, call 120 quick, I feel like all my organs are shattered.¡± A series of agonizing screams rose from the ground, leaving Sun Zhe completely baffled and incredulous, ¡°Impossible, impossible, how can this guy be so powerful?¡± ¡°My dear grandson, didn¡¯t expect this, huh?¡± Ye Haochuan clapped his hands, stepped forward, and said with a smirk, ¡°Did you really think that with Body-Strengthening Pills, you could threaten me? You¡¯re being far too na?ve!¡± sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 28 - 28 28 To Give or Not to Give ?28: Chapter 28: To Give or Not to Give? 28: Chapter 28: To Give or Not to Give? Sun Zhe¡¯s mouth gaped open, and the gloominess on his face had vanished, leaving only shock. ¡°How, how did you know we took the Body-Strengthening Pill?¡± Sun Zhe¡¯s voice trembled. These Body-Strengthening Pills, which he had purchased from Eighth Master for millions of USD, were supposed to help him exact revenge on Ye Haochuan and redeem himself. However, they proved useless, and he was brutally beaten by Ye Haochuan. Who exactly was this Ye Haochuan? How could he be so formidable! ¡°How do I know you took the Body-Strengthening Pill, huh, you think¡­ I would tell you?¡± As Sun Zhe saw Ye Haochuan approach, his killing intent throbbing palpably, a ferocious flash crossed Sun Zhe¡¯s eyes. He swung his fists, as big as bowls, aiming for Ye Haochuan¡¯s face. This punch, whistling through the air, was much stronger and faster than before. Remembering how just the day before, Ye Haochuan had caught his fist and forced him to beg repeatedly, Sun Zhe felt a deep sense of humiliation. Damn it, he just didn¡¯t buy it ¨C that even with the Body-Strengthening Pill, he still couldn¡¯t handle him! However, this time, fate seemed to have played a massive joke on him. He felt pain in his wrist, his own fist once again captured in Ye Haochuan¡¯s palm. Sun Zhe¡¯s face changed, and he quickly increased his strength to resist, but after struggling for a long time, he simply couldn¡¯t break free and was instead firmly grasped by the other party. ¡°Fuck your mother!¡± Not willing to be subdued, Sun Zhe immediately raised another fist and smashed it towards Ye Haochuan. Ye Haochuan remained calm and collected. Freeing one hand, he ferociously countered with a punch. The Body-Strengthening Pill, once consumed, could enhance one¡¯s strength to about 880 pounds, while he, having cultivated the Longevity Technique and exerting his full effort, could now reach 1100 pounds. How could Sun Zhe be his opponent? ¡°Crack!¡± The sound of bones breaking was heard. Accompanied by that was Sun Zhe¡¯s pig-like scream, ¡°My hand, my hand¡­ Ye Haochuan, how dare you cripple my hand, I will slaughter you!¡± ¡°Fuck your fucking mother! Even now you¡¯re not clear-headed? I¡¯ll beat you till you wake up!¡± Ye Haochuan delivered a heavy slap, concentrating Longevity True Qi in his palm, making the force robust and dominating, leaving Sun Zhe dizzy and a bright red palm print on his cheek. It took a while before Sun Zhe somewhat regained his senses, raging furiously, ¡°Ye Haochuan, you dare hit me; do you know who I am?¡± ¡°Slap!¡± Ye Haochuan slapped him hard again, cursing, ¡°Shit, aren¡¯t you just the son of Sun Yongsheng, the boss of Yongsheng Group? I hit you, so what can you do about it?¡± ¡°Ye Haochuan, you bastard, once my father hears about this, you are dead, dead for sure!¡± Sun Zhe screamed fiercely. ¡°If I am supposedly dead for sure, then you are definitely dead today!¡± Ye Haochuan showed no mercy, delivering several harsh slaps. Before long, Sun Zhe¡¯s already chubby face from the Body-Strengthening became even more swollen, a bloody, gruesome sight. ¡°Ye Haochuan, I¡¯m telling you, stop now, or I¡¯ll have someone kill you!¡± Sun Zhe, his face streaming with cold sweat, was in agony. ¡°Have someone kill me?¡± Ye Haochuan scoffed and gave a few more slaps, ¡°You mean find that Eighth Master? Let me tell you, Sun Zhe, I¡¯m not afraid of him, let him come if he dares.¡± Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At this, Sun Zhe was completely stunned, even ignoring the ringing in his ears from the previous slaps, and exclaimed in a lost voice, ¡°You know Eighth Master?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Ye Haochuan glared back, again exerting strength in his hand. Seeing that he didn¡¯t even care about Grandpa Ba, how insignificant was he? Sun Zhe was terrified and screamed hysterically again, ¡°It hurts, it hurts¡­ Brother Ye, I was wrong, just let me go as if I were nothing, I won¡¯t dare to oppose you ever again¡­¡± He was born into a wealthy family, always spoiled and acting arrogantly. When had he ever suffered such pain and humiliation? ¡°Who can trust your words, asshole? I just let you go yesterday, and you turned around threatening to deal with me, damn it, do you think I¡¯d fall for your tricks again?¡± Ye Haochuan shouted sternly. ¡°I really don¡¯t dare anymore, I really don¡¯t¡­¡± Sun Zhe kept kowtowing like pounding garlic. ¡°Really don¡¯t dare anymore?¡± ¡°Brother Ye, I don¡¯t dare, I really don¡¯t dare anymore.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll trust you this time,¡± Ye Haochuan slightly loosed his grip on Sun Zhe¡¯s fist, ¡°But if I¡¯m to let you go, you¡¯ve got to show some gesture, right?¡± ¡°No problem, Brother Ye, the Sun family has plenty of money, I have a bank card on me with three hundred thousand USD, I¡¯ll give it to you right now.¡± Sun Zhe shakily took out a bank card from his chest pocket and voluntarily gave the password as well. Ye Haochuan memorized the password and slapped him, cursing, ¡°Damn, do you think I¡¯m the kind of person who is swayed by money?¡± Despite the curse, he took the bank card anyway; this guy had provoked him after all, and this three hundred thousand was compensation for mental distress. Sun Zhe, holding his burning face, felt incredibly frustrated inside. You say you¡¯re not greedy for money, then why take my card? But with his life in the other¡¯s hands, Sun Zhe had to continue being submissive, he grimaced and said, ¡°Brother Ye, then how would you like me to show it? Just say it, I¡¯ll do whatever I can.¡± ¡°I¡¯m currently lacking a chamber pot. That copper furnace of yours will do, just bring it to me as a tribute.¡± Sun Zhe was completely dumbfounded. That copper furnace had been purchased for a million USD at an antique market as ordered by Grandpa Ba. If that furnace fell into Ye Haochuan¡¯s hands, would Grandpa Ba spare him? Thinking of Grandpa Ba¡¯s ferocious and brutal methods, as well as the vast and mysterious power behind him, he was terror-stricken. Though he was unclear on the purpose of that copper furnace, he definitely couldn¡¯t give it to Ye Haochuan. ¡°Brother Ye, if you¡¯re lacking a chamber pot, no problem, I¡¯ll arrange for someone to buy you a pure gold one, much better than this copper furnace, how about that?¡± Sun Zhe quickly tried to offer, adding a servile smile. Slap! Ye Haochuan slapped him across the face, raising his hand and saying fiercely, ¡°Damn, all I asked for was this copper furnace, and you beat around the bush for so long, doing it on purpose, right? I¡¯m just asking you one last time, will you give it or not?¡± Seeing that trouble was imminent again, Sun Zhe had to grit his teeth and plead, ¡°Brother Ye, please don¡¯t hit me, don¡¯t hit me anymore, I¡¯ll give it, okay?¡± Following his orders, the copper furnace was delivered into Ye Haochuan¡¯s hands. Ye Haochuan was ecstatic. With this incredible Talisman Instrument, his pill refinement and alchemy would now be twice as effective, fantastic! Especially once he refined the Qi Condensation Pill, stepping into the Postnatal Realm was just a matter of time, and then, what was there to fear from Grandpa Ba? After letting go of Sun Zhe, Ye Haochuan made him compensate for the damages to the shop first. Then he shouted, ¡°Scram!¡± How could Sun Zhe¡¯s group dare to stay any longer? They hurriedly scrambled up. At this point, the effects of the Body-Strengthening Pill that lasted for a quarter hour had receded. Each of their bodies had shrunk considerably. Their clothes, deformed by inflated muscles, now sagged tatteredly, looking utterly disheveled. Once Sun Zhe left, Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t dare delay anymore; urgently asking the shop staff to pack the large batch of medicinal materials, he then paid the bill and hastily left with Zhao Bingqian through the side door. He did this because he was still extremely wary of Grandpa Ba. If Sun Zhe alerted Grandpa Ba and he came rushing over, that would be trouble for him. Chapter 29 - 29 29 Just Wait and See ?29: Chapter 29: Just Wait and See 29: Chapter 29: Just Wait and See In fact, his prediction was spot on. As soon as Sun Zhe left the Chinese herbal medicine shop, he became increasingly angry and humiliated. He took out his phone and called Grandpa Fang. Soon, the phone was connected, and a majestic yet gloomy voice entered Sun Zhe¡¯s ears, ¡°What is it?¡± It was Grandpa Fang himself! ¡°It¡¯s like this, Uncle Fang¡­¡± Sun Zhe immediately exaggerated the story of how Ye Haochuan had just snatched away the Copper Furnace he had bought as instructed by him. On the other end of the phone, a burst of rage erupted, ¡°Trash, really a bunch of damn trash, after taking the Body-Strengthening Pills I gave you, you still couldn¡¯t beat that kid, and even let the Copper Furnace I told you to buy get stolen, what the hell are you all eating?¡± Listening to Grandpa Fang¡¯s scolding, Sun Zhe didn¡¯t dare talk back. Although Grandpa Fang was a highly-paid expert hired by his father and seemed like a bodyguard to outsiders, Sun Zhe was very clear that Grandpa Fang¡¯s status in the Sun Family was extraordinary, not just a bodyguard but more like a protective deity. Even his father was extremely respectful and didn¡¯t dare to contradict him. After a while, Grandpa Fang¡¯s anger subsided a bit, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Listen well, find out where that Ye Haochuan is right away. I want to personally slaughter that kid. That son of a bitch dares to steal a treasure that Fang Ba has his eyes on. I think he¡¯s tired of living.¡± Sun Zhe was shocked, a treasure? That inconspicuous Copper Furnace was a treasure? However, this thought just flashed through his mind, and he said, ¡°Yes, Uncle Fang, I¡¯ll start looking for his whereabouts right now. I¡¯ll inform you the moment I have news.¡± By this time, Ye Haochuan had already gotten into the BMW driven by Zhao Bingqian. With the engine roaring continuously, the BMW sped away. Zhao Bingqian was still immersed in excitement, constantly praising his impressive display of Divine Might in the Chinese herbal medicine shop, her eyes filled with adoring stars. In her view, not only was Ye Haochuan skilled in medicine and handsome, but he was also so cool when fighting! ¡°Bingqian, let¡¯s not go back to school for now,¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly said in a serious tone. Zhao Bingqian was startled, ¡°Why, Uncle?¡± ¡°That Sun Zhe knows you, so he might know you live in building number seven. If he comes looking for us, wouldn¡¯t we be in trouble?¡± ¡°Really, Uncle? You¡¯re so powerful, yet you¡¯re afraid they¡¯ll come looking for you to cause trouble?¡± Zhao Bingqian blinked her puzzled eyes. ¡°If it¡¯s just Sun Zhe and his ilk coming after us, I wouldn¡¯t worry about any trouble. No matter how many come, that¡¯s how many will perish,¡± Ye Haochuan coldly snickered. ¡°However, there¡¯s someone behind Sun Zhe whom I¡¯m currently a bit wary of, so we need to lay low for a while.¡± ¡°Oh, I see,¡± Zhao Bingqian nodded her head, without asking further about who that person was, ¡°But if we can¡¯t go to school, where should we go?¡± ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll just find a nearby hotel to check into,¡± Ye Haochuan said, and then with a teasing wink, ¡°How about it? Do you dare to go?¡± Zhao Bingqian¡¯s pure and lovely face blushed a little, but soon she replied with a cheerful look, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? It¡¯s the first time for this young lady to go check into a hotel with a man!¡± The first time checking into a hotel with a man? Ye Haochuan¡¯s blood surged, and he swallowed hard. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn, she was the one offering to check into a hotel with him. How could he waste such an opportunity? Gotta take the chance! But immediately, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s next words made him feel like he¡¯d fallen into an ice cellar, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ve learned a lot of tricks from Japanese Movies, do you want to try them?¡± Looking at Zhao Bingqian¡¯s seemingly harmless smile, Ye Haochuan felt a chill on his scalp. Crap, this girl is not just ordinarily evil! She had even watched Japanese Movies¡­ Japanese Movies! ¡°Better not¡­¡± Ye Haochuan shrank his neck back. Zhao Bingqian giggled coquettishly, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re so timid.¡± Ye Haochuan was rendered speechless, although inside he was seething with irritation. You little temptress, just wait and see! Sooner or later, I¡¯ll show you no mercy! Three minutes later, the BMW pulled into a five-star hotel and stopped in the parking lot. Next to the hotel was a bank, and remembering the bank card Sun Zhe had given him, Ye Haochuan told Zhao Bingqian to go ahead and check in at the hotel and instructed the hotel staff to bring the big bags of herbs from the trunk of the BMW to the room. At the bank counter, he first checked the balance with the customer service, and as expected, there were three hundred thousand yuan, and Sun Zhe, that grandson, hadn¡¯t reported the card lost or locked it yet. Ye Haochuan was overjoyed and transferred all the money to his own bank card. Only then did he leave the bank and leisurely returned to the hotel. Zhao Bingqian happened to be waiting in the lobby. As soon as she saw him return, she hurriedly asked how the withdrawal went. Ye Haochuan grinned and nodded his head. ¡°That¡¯s awesome, yay! We have a generous loser paying for our hotel bills!¡± Zhao Bingqian cheered, ¡°Uncle, missy here wants to stay in the presidential suite.¡± Having the chance to have such a charming and beautiful young lady accompany him at the hotel, Ye Haochuan was naturally not stingy and generously paid at the front desk. However, when paying the bill, the hotel lobby manager gave him a strange look. It was indeed incredible to think about. There were many young men and women who came to hotels to book rooms, but none who would check into a presidential suite that cost 12,888 yuan a day right off the bat! The presidential suite was on the highest level of the hotel, the 50th floor. The hotel manager personally escorted them to the door, swiped the room card, and then left. Upon entering the room, Ye Haochuan was utterly stunned by the luxurious extravagance of the presidential suite. The living room was massive, sunlight streamed in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the windows, one could almost overlook the entire city. Ye Haochuan had never stayed in a hotel before, let alone a presidential suite, so you can imagine how excited he was. He wandered around the room, discovering that the bedroom, kitchen, study, and bathroom were all available, not only spacious but also high-end in decor. Because he needed to do alchemy and pill refinement, Ye Haochuan specifically checked the kitchen, which was fully equipped with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, sterilizer, and other amenities, all built into a cabinet unit, making them very convenient to use. Coming out of the kitchen, Zhao Bingqian said triumphantly, ¡°Uncle, this presidential room is mine; the madam¡¯s room is yours.¡± ¡°Why¡¯s that?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed. ¡°What? Having me to accompany you in hiding here is still not enough for you?¡± Zhao Bingqian placed her hands on her hips and jauntily pointed to her impressively towering Saintess Peak. Her stance suggested that if you don¡¯t listen, missy here will tear you apart. Ye Haochuan was caught between laughter and tears and had to concede. ¡°Alright uncle, I won¡¯t quibble with you, missy is going to take a bath,¡± Zhao Bingqian declared. Ye Haochuan almost had a nosebleed; was this girl doing it on purpose? If you¡¯re going to take a bath, just take it, why announce it? ¡°Hey, by the way, uncle,¡± she added, ¡°the bathroom has a very big bathtub, want to¡­ how about we take a mandarin duck bath together?¡± Zhao Bingqian winked, her seductive demeanor absolutely soul-snaring. Looking at her somewhat malicious appearance, Ye Haochuan shuddered involuntarily. Take a mandarin duck bath with you? What if you suddenly stab my chrysanthemum; wouldn¡¯t my reputation be ruined by your hand? Therefore, he said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t think so low of me; if you want to bathe, go ahead by yourself.¡± ¡°Tsk, scaredy-cat!¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled and pouted before heading into the bathroom. Ye Haochuan then put the large bag of medicinal herbs into the kitchen and took out the Copper Furnace as well. After mixing the ingredients for a while, he finally got them ready and was about to start the fire for alchemy, when suddenly, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s voice called out. ¡°Uncle.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I forgot to bring a bath towel; could you pass me one, it¡¯s just outside the bathroom¡­¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless. Outside the bathroom, you need me to get it for you? You could¡¯ve just opened the door and grabbed it yourself! Chapter 30 - 30 30 Postnatal Early Stage ?30: Chapter 30 Postnatal Early Stage 30: Chapter 30 Postnatal Early Stage ¡°Why don¡¯t you come out and get it yourself? It¡¯s so close,¡± Ye Haochuan said. This little sprite was devilishly tricky, and with the idea that it¡¯s best to cause less trouble, he was completely unmoved. ¡°Uncle, hurry up,¡± Zhao Bingqian pleaded. Her voice was soft and boneless, making Ye Haochuan feel like his bones were melting. ¡°This isn¡¯t very appropriate¡­¡± Ye Haochuan was torn, but then he got annoyed. Damn, I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m regressing. It¡¯s just a little girl, right? How much mischief can she manage? If she dares to play tricks on me¡­ Arriving at the bathroom door, Ye Haochuan indeed saw a blue towel on the washing machine. However, what left him speechless was that the distance from the bathroom door to the washing machine was only one meter. She could¡¯ve easily grabbed it by opening the door, but this little girl insisted on having him fetch it, truly making a fuss over nothing. Picking up the blue towel, Ye Haochuan knocked on the bathroom door and said, ¡°Bingqian, I¡¯ve got it.¡± A moment later, the bathroom door opened, revealing Zhao Bingqian¡¯s wet little head. ¡°Uncle, do you want to come in¡­¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled, extending her arm that was as white as lotus root to take the blue towel from his hand. Ye Haochuan was speechless, shaking his head. He needed to concentrate on making Qi Condensation Pills now; indulging in beauty probably wasn¡¯t a good idea. Back in the kitchen, Ye Haochuan began to get busy. With the alchemy and pill refinement techniques passed down from Holy Hand, making the Qi Condensation Pills was extremely easy. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, he had the treasure copper furnace he¡¯d snatched from that grandson, Sun Zhe, which made the process even more efficient. He put the medicinal ingredients into the copper furnace and then, immediately, Ye Haochuan activated the Longevity True Qi. The copper furnace, originally a talisman instrument, turned red hot in no time at all when infused with the energy of Longevity True Qi. At the same time, through his Perspective Eyes, he could see the ingredients in the copper furnace rapidly reacting, merging together, and eventually forming a sticky liquid that, after evaporating the moisture, turned into a clump of medicinal essence. Then, Ye Haochuan stimulated his True Qi further to cut and blend the essence until it formed dozens of pills glistening with a metallic shine. ¡°The Qi Condensing Pills are made, perfect!¡± Ye Haochuan clapped his hands, feeling relieved that he had snatched such a treasure; otherwise, who knows how long it would¡¯ve taken with an ordinary mortal artifact. Afterwards, Ye Haochuan poured the dozens of pills from the copper furnace into a small bottle that had previously held Eclipse chewing gum. At that time, he heard the bathroom door opening from outside the kitchen, and he knew that Zhao Bingqian must have come out. So, Ye Haochuan temporarily stopped making the Qi Condensing Pills and went out of the kitchen. At this moment, Zhao Bingqian was holding a hair dryer, sitting sidelong on the sofa blow-drying her hair, looking very comfortable. ¡°Uncle, come here and rub my legs for me, they¡¯re so sore,¡± Zhao Bingqian said, lifting her ivory-like white legs. ¡°Go away, playing this trick again. Aren¡¯t you annoying?¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless. ¡°Giggle¡­¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled non-stop and hurried back to her suite, closing the door with a slam. ¡°Tch, who¡¯s outplaying whom?¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head. This little fairy was sly and cunning. Well, I¡¯m busy cultivating now and have no time to deal with you. Once I break through to the Postnatal Realm and then I¡¯ll eat you up. Entering the master bedroom, Ye Haochuan closed the door, locked it behind him, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to run the Longevity Technique. He then grabbed a Qi Condensing Pill and swallowed it. Before long, he felt an intense heat all over his body, and all his pores opened wide, desperately absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy¡­ Making a breakthrough into the Postnatal Early Stage was not as easy as one might imagine; many could spend their whole lives without success! Time ticked away as he kept trying to break the barrier, hoping for a breakthrough. However, contrary to his wishes, Longevity True Qi kept depleting time after time. But, with the rich experience in making breakthroughs granted by Holy Hand¡¯s inheritance, each time this happened, he swallowed another Qi Condensing Pill. With the support of the Qi Condensing Pills, his Qi quickly gathered once more, readying him for another assault. In between, Zhao Bingqian knocked on his door several times out of boredom, but he declined each time, claiming to be napping. Fortunately, after persisting for over four hours, just as Ye Haochuan had consumed more than half of the pills, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his clothes burst into pieces with a pop, scattering over the bedsheet. ¡°Fantastic, I¡¯ve finally reached the Postnatal Early Stage. From now on, I won¡¯t be afraid of that so-called Eighth Master,¡± Ye Haochuan laughed heartily as he stood up and threw a punch, stirring up a powerful gust of wind, feeling indescribably solid and forceful. But at that moment, knocking sounds came at the door again. ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s bad, it¡¯s really bad. Sun Zhe has come looking for trouble again,¡± Zhao Bingqian cried out in a panic. Ye Haochuan hurriedly jumped off the bed and opened the door. At that moment, Zhao Bingqian was leaning against the door; when it suddenly opened, she lost her balance and fell into Ye Haochuan¡¯s arms. ¡°Uncle, I unintentionally saw from the window that Sun Zhe and some people were loitering around my BMW in the parking lot¡­ Wow, damn!¡± A scream rang out, and Zhao Bingqian¡¯s beautiful eyes looked at him in disbelief. Chapter 31 - 31 31 Whos Next ?31: Chapter 31: Who¡¯s Next? 31: Chapter 31: Who¡¯s Next? During his full-powered assault earlier, Haishan¡¯s clothes had already burst into pieces under the force of his energy. Now, having successfully stepped into the Postnatal Early Stage, he felt his psychological pressure vanish completely, regaining his unrestrained and unruly personality. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the presidential suite. Previously, with Haochuan¡¯s cultivation, he wouldn¡¯t have easily noticed, but now that he had stepped into the Postnatal Early Stage, his strength had improved beyond compare, and his hearing had greatly enhanced. With his Perspective Eyes activated, he could see everyone in the hallway outside. Haochuan smirked coldly, ¡°They¡¯re finally here.¡± ¡°They¡¯re coming fast! Bingqian, you hide first; I¡¯ll torment them to death!¡± Hearing Haochuan¡¯s supremely confident words, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s tense mood relaxed; she felt that whatever danger came their way, this uncle could turn calamity into safety. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ll leave it to you then, you have to protect me well,¡± Zhao Bingqian said sweetly and naively. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Oh, right, I remember now, there are spare casual shorts in the bathroom, I¡¯ll go get them for you.¡± Zhao Bingqian covered her mouth, giggling, and ran to the bathroom. Shortly after, she came back with a pair of shorts, a T-shirt, and boxer briefs, threw them on his bed, and quipped, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ll leave it to you,¡± before giggling again and running off to hide in the presidential room, shutting the door behind her. Haochuan quickly dressed. Just as he reached the living room, the door burst open, and a dozen figures charged in. The leader was Sun Zhe, whom he had thrashed miserably that morning. Behind him was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a Tang suit. He was tall and standing straight as a sword or spear, resembling a towering mountain, pressing forward. Haochuan¡¯s brows furrowed; this man was Fang Ba, whom Li Wenfeng had shown him in a video on his phone, the one who resolved a gang of thugs with a Lion¡¯s Roar. Fang Ba, you¡¯ve finally come! Haochuan¡¯s lips curled slightly, his face filled with anticipation. A showdown with Fang Ba¡ªwho would triumph? Upon seeing Haochuan, Sun Zhe¡¯s eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light as he shouted, ¡°Haishan, you sure know how to enjoy yourself, hiding here! Damn it, it must be using my money!¡± Haochuan¡¯s lips twisted into a mocking smile, ¡°So what? Damn, you¡¯ve been duped twice, yet you still haven¡¯t learned your lesson. This time if you fall into my hands again, it won¡¯t be so easy.¡± ¡°Learn your lesson my ass!¡± Sun Zhe glared at him furiously, ¡°Listen up, Haishan, you¡¯re definitely dead this time. Do you know who this man before me is? Fang Ba! The unrivaled Fang Ba in our Haishan¡¯s underworld circles!¡± ¡°So what?¡± Haochuan sneered as he scanned Fang Ba¡¯s face, noting his glowering, murderous expression. ¡°Good, very good,¡± Fang Ba spoke, stepping forward, his eyes piercing like those of a venomous snake, ¡°Brat, hurry up and hand over my Copper Furnace, and maybe I¡¯ll leave you a whole corpse.¡± A whole corpse? What a boast! Haochuan scoffed, ¡°And if I don¡¯t?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t?¡± Fang Ba ground his teeth, ¡°Then I¡¯ll crush you into dust and scatter your ashes!¡± ¡°If I¡¯m going to die anyway, why the hell would I hand it over?¡± Haochuan retorted scornfully. Fang Ba cursed on the spot, ¡°Damn it, since you¡¯re asking for it, don¡¯t blame me! Attack!¡± As he spoke, five men behind Sun Zhe each swallowed a Body-Strengthening Pill. In a short while, these five men were fully enhanced and lunged at Haochuan, their formidable auras far surpassing the trash Sun Zhe had brought before. Haochuan could tell, these men were genuine fighters with extraordinary martial skills! As these five enemies reached him, their strikes were fast and ruthless, seemingly aiming to kill Haochuan with a single blow! In an instant, Haochuan activated his Longevity True Qi, protecting his vital parts, then he charged forward, meeting one head-on with a ferocious punch! The man had thought that after consuming the Body-Strengthening Pill, his strength would substantially increase, not taking Haochuan seriously; however, when his fist met Haochuan¡¯s, there was a crack, and the man screamed, ¡°Ah, my hand¡­¡± His hand bones had shattered! Seeing this, Fang Ba¡¯s brow furrowed. He could see that just now, his subordinate had exerted at least six hundred pounds of force, yet he still failed. Just how strong was this guy called Haishan? Meanwhile, Sun Zhe loudly warned, ¡°Don¡¯t clash directly with Haishan!¡± Having landed a successful hit, Haochuan surged forward with momentum. The other four men¡¯s punches and kicks were upon him. Haochuan distributed his Longevity True Qi throughout his body, fully prepared to defend and leapt up like a whirlwind, striking with lightning speed. Thud thud thud thud! Their blows collided, creating a series of muffled thuds! ¡°Ah!¡± The four men couldn¡¯t react in time, simultaneously shouting in pain, spewing out blood, and falling to the ground wailing, while Haochuan remained unscathed. Seeing this, Fang Ba¡¯s face changed drastically. Clearly, he hadn¡¯t expected Haochuan to be so formidable. Sun Zhe also looked on in disbelief. These five men, Fang Ba¡¯s strongest subordinates known as the Five Tigers, had turned out to be no match for Haishan. ¡°Anyone else want to try?¡± Haishan shouted boldly. Sun Zhe and the others behind him shrank back in fear, none daring to make a move. If even Fang Ba¡¯s Five Tigers were no match, who would dare to challenge? ¡°Damn, you all come in full force to mess with me and now you don¡¯t dare to step up?¡± Haochuan scoffed coldly. Finally, his gaze locked onto Fang Ba as he hooked his finger provocatively, ¡°Fang Ba, right? Why don¡¯t you dare to step up? I think you should change your surname to Wong¡ªWong Ba is such a fitting name.¡± This infuriated Fang Ba, who had dominated the worldly society for many years. When had a young upstart ever insulted him like this? ¡°You clueless fool, since you¡¯re so eager to die, I¡¯ll grant your wish!¡± Fang Ba said viciously. Chapter 32 - 32 32 Dare to Curse Me as a Bastard ?32: Chapter 32: Dare to Curse Me as a Bastard? 32: Chapter 32: Dare to Curse Me as a Bastard? ¡°Let me see you prove it, then! Quit talking shit and put up a fight!¡± Ye Haochuan licked his lips and sneered. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°You got guts, kid, flaring up like that in front of me. Among the young ones, you¡¯re the first!¡± Uncle Ba approached, cracking his knuckles, joints popping ominously. Meanwhile, those who had come with Uncle Ba started cheering him on, including Sun Zhe. ¡°Ye Haochuan, you¡¯re dead meat. Your pathetic skills are nothing in front of my Uncle Ba.¡± ¡°Exactly, Young Master Sun is right. This kid still reeks of mother¡¯s milk, and he dares challenge our Uncle Ba, what a joke!¡± ¡°Uncle Ba, beat him black and blue to teach him his place, show him how high the sky is, and how thick the earth is.¡± ¡­ Amidst the chaotic noise, Uncle Ba with a dark expression had already stepped in front of Ye Haochuan. ¡°Ye Haochuan, remember this, a man can have pride, but not arrogance. Now, I¡¯ll start by making you suffer, then I¡¯ll pull out your tendons, before breaking every bone in your body¡­¡± Uncle Ba said with a nasty grin. ¡°Oh, really?¡± Ye Haochuan gave a cold snort, ¡°In that case, I absolutely cannot let you off the hook today.¡± He had decided, since this son of a bitch was so vicious, why should he hold back? Whoosh! Ye Haochuan moved swiftly, closing the gap, and in a flash, he was right in front of Uncle Ba, unleashing a Shadowless Kick. Whoosh whoosh whoosh¡­ The howling kicks followed in rapid succession, heartbreaking and lung-bursting, as countless leg shadows overwhelmed everything like a blanket. ¡°No good!¡± Uncle Ba¡¯s face changed drastically, ¡°Isn¡¯t that the Shadowless Kick, the famous early technique of the ¡®Holy Hand¡¯ from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect? How can you, a kid, know this? Who is the ¡®Holy Hand¡¯ to you?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyebrows lifted. Dragon Roar had told him his identity must not be exposed, and now that Uncle Ba had discovered the secret of his Shadowless Kick, it seemed the man couldn¡¯t be allowed to live any longer. He was dead for sure today, Ye Haochuan sneered, ¡°You think I¡¯d tell you?¡± Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh¡­ Ye Haochuan¡¯s relentless barrage of kicks, each carrying the force of at least a thousand pounds! Although Uncle Ba hadn¡¯t reached the early stage of the Postnatal Realm, as a Hellfire Disciple with decades of devotion to the martial arts path, his attacks boasted a strength of eight hundred pounds ¨C not something to scoff at! However, compared to Ye Haochuan, this might was insignificant. Uncle Ba could only dodge left and right, in utmost disarray. The most ridiculous part was that Sun Zhe and his blind followers were still cheering Uncle Ba on. ¡°Damn it, your strength¡¯s not bad, kid, but I don¡¯t believe you can withstand my Lion¡¯s Roar!¡­ Roar!¡± With Uncle Ba¡¯s roar, the powerful True Qi vibrated forth, making it seem as if mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting, felt by anyone within earshot. Facing the indiscriminate Lion¡¯s Roar, those like Sun Zhe at the scene with no foundational inner strength suffered terribly. They clutched their ears, bleeding from their mouths and noses, rolling on the ground in anguish and screaming in pain. As for Ye Haochuan, he stood there as if nothing happened, looking at Uncle Ba as if the man was ridiculous. ¡°Ah, you¡¯re fine? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!¡± Uncle Ba stepped back three paces, his cold face showing shock. ¡°There¡¯s a lot in this world that¡¯s possible!¡± Ye Haochuan laughed, ¡°Fang Ba, if you¡¯ve got more tricks, bring them on.¡± Seeing Ye Haochuan¡¯s composed demeanor, Uncle Ba knew he had encountered a tough nut today. Suddenly struck by a thought, his expression changed, ¡°You¡­ are you a Postnatal Expert?¡± No wonder he suspected Ye Haochuan. Although his own strength wasn¡¯t feeble, especially his Lion¡¯s Roar, which usually had few challengers, he never imagined that it would have no effect on Ye Haochuan. What did this mean? It meant that Ye Haochuan¡¯s cultivation was far more profound than his own! With my current level of cultivation, in the Postnatal Realm below, there are few adversaries, and only Postnatal experts can suppress me! It seems that if Ye Haochuan is not a Postnatal expert, then I must be seeing ghosts! ¡°It looks like you, Fang Ba, are not entirely stupid,¡± Ye Haochuan said with an inadvertent smile. Fang Ba¡¯s expression changed again, and he said solemnly, ¡°Friend, who exactly are you? Even if you want me, Fang Ba, dead, I at least deserve to know why!¡± ¡°Who am I? Heh, the person who¡¯s after your life,¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes sparkled fiercely. Now that Fang Ba had recognized my identity as someone from the Postnatal Realm, this man must not be left alive today. If the Hellfire Sect finds out and then discovers my association with the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, I¡¯m afraid my life will be in danger. As for the legal consequences of murder, I¡¯m not worried in the slightest. Long Xiaotian once told me that the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, using ¡°Long Group¡± as cover, is a mysterious force controlled by the state, protecting the core security of the entire nation. ¡°Fang Ba, did you just say you wanted me to taste the pain of flesh and blood, then rip out my sinews, and finally break all the bones in my body?¡± After speaking, Ye Haochuan made his move, closing in with a flurry of punches and kicks. ¡°Aaargh!¡± Fang Ba immediately let out a shrill scream, and curses like ¡°little bastard!¡± instinctively came out of his mouth. Dragons have their reverse scales, touch them and you will die! Ye Haochuan, an orphan with no parents, harbored as much love as hatred for his parents. He could curse his parents for abandoning him, but he absolutely could not stand others insulting his parents. In fact, he¡¯d never given up searching for his biological parents over the years. The term ¡°little bastard¡± clearly hit his bottom line. Now, not only did he want Fang Ba dead, but he also wanted him to die a terrible death! ¡°Damn, dare to call me a little bastard?¡± Ye Haochuan bent down, grabbed his hair, and unleashed another series of punches and kicks, each blow carrying a force of a thousand pounds. How could Fang Ba withstand it? In no time, Fang Ba was covered in wounds, his skin split and flesh gaping. But Ye Haochuan was still not satisfied. With a snap, he stepped on Fang Ba¡¯s thigh, crushing it until it crunched loudly. Fang Ba screamed again, pitifully like a pig being slaughtered. ¡°Ye Haochuan, if you dare torture me like this, my fellow disciples will surely tear you to pieces¡­¡± ¡°If they have the guts, let them come. I¡¯ll be waiting for them, but as for you, I¡¯m going to torture you enough today!¡± With that, Ye Haochuan savagely delivered three more kicks, successively breaking Fang Ba¡¯s thigh bone and arm bones¡ªa thorough venting of his spleen. Soon enough, the once overbearing Fang Ba was dead on the spot. With the man dead, the resentment in Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart began to dissipate. Although it was his first time killing someone and his heart was still pounding, the exhilarating feeling of possessing overwhelming strength, like a seed, took root in the depths of his soul. At the same time, he also felt that wealth and fame were just passing clouds. Only with greater strength, like the masters of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect who even the state relied on, could one have a transcendent status. Just then, the door to the presidential suite behind him opened. Ye Haochuan turned his head to look and nearly jumped out of his skin, only to see Zhao Bingqian collapsed at the doorway, looking dispirited and even bleeding from the corner of her mouth. This isn¡¯t good, it must have been Fang Ba¡¯s Lion¡¯s Roar that affected Zhao Bingqian, who was hiding in the room. ¡°Bingqian!¡± Ye Haochuan rushed over and checked her pulse. Fortunately, her injuries were slight and he immediately transferred his Longevity True Qi to her. Before long, Zhao Bingqian came to and returned to her lively and quirky self. She got up, and upon learning from Ye Haochuan that Fang Ba was the cause of her injuries, she became annoyed and started kicking Fang Ba¡¯s corpse wildly. ¡°Bastard, you actually hurt me, I¡¯ll kick you to death, kick you to death¡­¡± At first, Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t mind and let her vent her anger. He was preparing to check on Sun Zhe and his group¡¯s fate when a small booklet fell out of Fang Ba¡¯s body. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Ye Haochuan walked over curiously. Chapter 33 - 33 33 The Beautiful Police Officer ?33: Chapter 33: The Beautiful Police Officer 33: Chapter 33: The Beautiful Police Officer Picking up the booklet, Ye Haochuan¡¯s gaze landed on the bold characters on the cover of the booklet: Lion¡¯s Roar! Damn, Lion¡¯s Roar? S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes brightened, and his heart was filled with joy. Shit, he¡¯d wanted to learn this group attack martial skill for a while now, never expecting that after exhausting all efforts, it came to him without any trouble! Ye Haochuan flipped through it, and the booklet detailed the Dharma for operating Lion¡¯s Roar, indeed profound. Without saying much, he grinned and directly pocketed it! Suddenly, a thought struck him: since Fang Ba was a disciple of Hellfire, who knew what other treasures he might have on him? He decided to search. So, Ye Haochuan stopped Zhao Bingqian, ¡°Bingqian, stop kicking, he¡¯s already dead.¡± ¡°Dead?¡± Like a startled rabbit, Zhao Bingqian scurried back, her face turning pale, obviously feeling an inexplicable fear of the dead. Ye Haochuan found it amusing; this Little Sprite was usually so carefree, yet she turned out to be so scared of dead people. ¡°Hmm, dead, I killed him,¡± Ye Haochuan said solemnly. ¡°Ah, you killed him? Aren¡¯t you going to be criminally responsible and go to jail?¡± Zhao Bingqian exclaimed with wide eyes. Looking at her concerned gaze, Ye Haochuan felt warmed inside and laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, killing him doesn¡¯t break the law.¡± Although not publicized throughout Huaxia, the upper echelons of the state were clear on this, thus granting special authorization to the Ancient Martial Arts Sects. However, to reassure the public, Zhao Bingqian still harbored doubts, ¡°Really? It really isn¡¯t against the law?¡± ¡°When have I ever lied to you?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed and stopped explaining. He searched Fang Ba¡¯s body and, sure enough, made some discoveries. Aside from a booklet on a skill called Bone Fracture Hand, there were also various porcelain vials of different sizes filled with pills. In fact, the pills in the vials were mostly Body-Strengthening Pills, which had too many side effects for Ye Haochuan to be interested. However, adhering to the principle of waste utilization, he pocketed them anyway. He was actually quite delighted about the Cultivation Technique for Bone Fracture Hand. The Medical Techniques passed down to him by Holy Hand were indeed brilliant, but they were primarily medical inheritances; regarding martial skills, there were far fewer. In Ye Haochuan¡¯s view, the Medical Path was indeed important, but it could only save lives. Even though the Longevity Technique was remarkable, it could only enhance Inner Strength Cultivation without necessary combat skills, leaving him only able to passively take hits. Perhaps Holy Hand¡¯s demise was somewhat linked to his own weak combat ability. Therefore, enhancing his own combat ability was crucial for self-preservation. Even though both Lion¡¯s Roar and Bone Fracture Hand came from him, Ye Haochuan wasn¡¯t so rigid. Whatever the Cultivation Technique, as long as it was used properly, it was a good technique. Ye Haochuan glanced through Bone Fracture Hand, which detailed various moves. Knowing it would take some time to master, he didn¡¯t rush and pocketed it. Zhao Bingqian, who was nearby, asked curiously, ¡°Uncle, what do you want with that stuff?¡± ¡°Naturally, it has its uses, hehe.¡± Ye Haochuan vaguely explained, when suddenly hurried footsteps came from outside the room. Soon after, a female police officer dressed in uniform burst in with a pistol and ordered, ¡°Put your hands up!¡± Following the policewoman, a few male officers burst in, each holding a pistol and glaring at Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian as if facing a great enemy. This leading policewoman, actually named Chen Yushan, was the captain of the detective squad in Haishan City¡¯s police jurisdiction. Having just received a report from the hotel manager about a homicide at the hotel, she rushed over with her team. Ye Haochuan frowned, his eyes scanning Chen Yushan, and suddenly his eyelids twitched. Damn, this cop was pretty good-looking. She appeared to be in her twenties, stunningly beautiful with a rounded, melon-seed face, and beautiful big eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows. Probably about one meter sixty-seven in height, she wore a black police uniform, exuding a heroic charm. Her shoulders shined with several silver stars, indicative of a high police rank, and under the knee-length black skirt were black stockings faintly revealing the color of her flesh, encasing a pair of long, straight, alluring legs. Lin Qingxuan had a slim and petite figure, exuding a boney beauty. But this policewoman had a fuller figure with well-proportioned curves, presenting a different kind of temptation. ¡°Have you cops got it wrong? These people came to kill us, and instead of capturing them, you¡¯re asking us to put up our hands. What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Zhao Bingqian wasn¡¯t pleased to see police pointing guns at her and raised her voice in protest. With a prominent background, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s family had many old friends in the high echelons of the Huaxia Government. When had she ever taken such minor police seriously? However, Chen Yushan was obviously quick-tempered and barked, ¡°Shut up! Until we clarify the situation, you two must cooperate with our police inquiry. Listen, raise your hands now!¡± Zhao Bingqian wanted to argue, but Ye Haochuan tugged at her, signaling her not to speak. At that moment, a male officer inspecting the scene suddenly shouted, ¡°Boss, these people¡¯s noses and mouths are bleeding, and they¡¯ve all passed out.¡± ¡°Call 120 now and send them to the hospital,¡± Chen Yushan ordered without hesitation. Then, another officer surveying the scene also shouted, ¡°Boss, it¡¯s bad, this person is dead! And the death is gruesome; many bones in his body are broken.¡± The dead man was Fang Ba, whom Ye Haochuan had killed! Chen Yushan immediately directed a stern voice at Ye Haochuan, ¡°Did you kill this man?¡± Damn, this beautiful police officer is fierce! Such a wild nature, but, I like it! Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Beautiful officer, I did kill this Fang Ba, but he was¡­¡± Chen Yushan sneered, ¡°You sure have a smooth way of pushing blame! But, since you admit that you killed him, come with us to the station¡­ Liuzi, cuff him and take him back to the station with me. Everyone else, continue collecting evidence at the scene and ensure the scene is protected.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Chapter 34 - 34 34 Overestimating Oneself! ?34: Chapter 34: Overestimating Oneself! 34: Chapter 34: Overestimating Oneself! ¡°Hold it!¡± Seeing the police rushing to arrest himself and Zhao Bingqian without asking questions, Ye Haochuan became furious. ¡°Tell me, officer, is your IQ inversely proportional to your chest size, or are you intentionally demeaning my intelligence? I admit I killed a person, but it was a terrorist, for the good of the people. How can you arrest someone without asking questions? What does that mean?¡± Ye Haochuan said angrily. ¡°You¡­¡± Chen Yushan, in her entire police career, had never encountered a suspect who dared to be so arrogant in front of her, especially using her chest as a topic of discussion. She exploded in rage, ¡°Even if the person you killed was a terrorist, it¡¯s not up to you to judge¡­ Liuzi, what are you dawdling for? Go and handcuff him!¡± The cop named Liuzi hummed, jangled the shiny handcuffs, and sinisterly approached Ye Haochuan, ¡°Kid, you better behave, or you¡¯re going to regret it.¡± Ye Haochuan smirked coldly, ¡°I¡¯d like to see today what kind of ¡®regret¡¯ you can make me have.¡± ¡°Damn, you ungrateful brat!¡± Liuzi blanched and lunged forward with a kick towards Ye Haochuan¡¯s chest. Unbeknownst to him, Ye Haochuan retaliated faster with a sweeping kick that sent him flying into Chen Yushan and the other officers. ¡°Damn!¡± ¡°Ouch!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± The police officers were all thrown off balance, cursing loudly. Chen Yushan was quick to dodge but seeing Ye Haochuan resorting to violent resistance immediately fueled her anger. Bang! It was Chen Yushan¡¯s gun that had fired! Ye Haochuan was startled, ¡°Has this woman gone crazy?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Zhao Bingqian screamed. Because the bullet had created a small crater the size of a thumb right by her feet. Ye Haochuan clenched his teeth in anger, thinking that if her aim had been slightly off, wouldn¡¯t it have injured Zhao Bingqian? ¡°I held back just now, but if you dare to resist violently again, believe it or not, I¡¯ll shoot you?¡± Chen Yushan shouted sternly. In reality, her marksmanship was terrible, and she had only claimed to hold back to cover her embarrassment. Ye Haochuan frowned deeply. With his current ¡°Postnatal Early Stage¡± boundary, dodging bullets was not difficult and escaping unharmed was also feasible, but Zhao Bingqian was different¡ªshe was a delicate girl. How could he be at peace if she were to get hurt? ¡°Fine, since you want me to go with you, I¡¯ll comply. However, this girl by my side has nothing to do with this matter. You¡¯d best release her,¡± Ye Haochuan spoke in a deep voice. ¡°That won¡¯t do. So many people are dead at the scene; she might be your accomplice¡­¡± ¡°Accomplice? Accomplice my foot! With all these people here, what could a frail girl possibly do? Please, we are the victims here, we¡¯re the vulnerable ones, okay? If you don¡¯t agree, then don¡¯t blame me!¡± Without waiting for a response, Ye Haochuan suddenly moved, closing the distance quickly. Chen Yushan only saw a blur before her wrist shot with pain, and the pistol was already in his hands, now pointed at her head. ¡°Ah!¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s face drained of color. The other male officers also pointed their guns at Ye Haochuan, sternly cautioning him against rash actions. Ye Haochuan remained unflinching, staring coldly at Chen Yushan, ¡°Officer, everyone is responsible for their own actions. If you want to arrest me, go ahead, but don¡¯t make it difficult for the innocent.¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s expression fluctuated between anger and uncertainty, and finally, she bitterly said, ¡°Fine, we¡¯ll let her go for now. But, we are keeping her identification. If we find any connection between her and the case, we¡¯ll summon her at any time.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhao Bingqian was stunned. She hadn¡¯t expected Ye Haochuan to risk his life to protect her like this. Touched, she said, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯ll stand by you. With me here, I doubt these police officers will dare to mess with you.¡± Her reasoning was simple: with her family background, once her relatives knew that she had been arrested by the police, they would definitely find a way to rescue her. Seeing her so determined, clearly a girl who valued affection and loyalty, Ye Haochuan felt very relieved and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, these police officers don¡¯t have the capability to mess with me.¡± Zhao Bingqian was about to say more when Ye Haochuan gestured for her to stop talking. He suddenly handed her his cell phone and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m giving you my phone to hold onto. Someone will call you from an unknown number later, ask if his last name is Long. If yes, tell him about my situation here, and he will find a way to save me.¡± Zhao Bingqian reluctantly accepted the phone but still said, ¡°Uncle, actually, it¡¯s not necessary to go through all this trouble. I can have my father intervene and vouch for you¡­¡± ¡°No, absolutely not.¡± Ye Haochuan flatly refused. It wasn¡¯t that he was being pretentious, but if the government departments got involved in such a big case, it would surely be blown out of proportion by the media. Not only would he be exposed, but it would also affect his mission to secretly protect Lin Qingxuan. Only the intervention of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect could minimize a big issue into nothing. According to the agreement with Long Xiaotian, Long Xiaotian would call daily to check on his situation, so he wasn¡¯t worried that Zhao Bingqian would miss the call. ¡°Why not?¡± Zhao Bingqian asked. ¡°Just listen to me, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Having reached an agreement with Zhao Bingqian, Ye Haochuan then said to Chen Yushan, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Chen Yushan, who had been impatiently waiting, waved her hand, ¡°Liuzi, cuff him.¡± Liuzi, who had just suffered a severe loss at Ye Haochuan¡¯s hands and had lost face, was furious. As soon as he cuffed him, he cursed, ¡°Damn it,¡± and threw a fierce punch at Ye Haochuan¡¯s abdomen. ¡°Hmph, overestimating himself.¡± Ye Haochuan sneered inwardly, prepared and focused on guarding himself. Suddenly, Liuzi screamed, ¡°My hand, my hand¡­¡± Turned out, Liuzi¡¯s arm had dislocated! Chen Yushan and the other officers were shocked, thinking this suspect was really something else. Even shackled, he was still so defiant. ¡°What a disgrace!¡± Chen Yushan glared at Liuzi. Liuzi hung his head in shame, not daring to utter a word, until colleagues helped reposition his arm. Only then did he glare hatefully at Ye Haochuan. ¡°Take him away!¡± Chen Yushan ordered loudly, leaving a few subordinates to inspect and secure the scene, and then escorted Ye Haochuan to take the elevator downstairs. Because the case was so significant, it had already drawn many onlookers. However, before confirming Ye Haochuan¡¯s involvement in any criminal activity, Chen Yushan had to protect the suspect and specifically covered his head with a black cloth. However, for Ye Haochuan, this black cloth was purely superfluous; once his Perspective Eyes were activated, he couldn¡¯t see anything. What was even better was that he could boldly spy on Chen Yushan walking in front of him without being detected, which was absolutely enjoyable. By then, they had reached the police car. ¡°Get in!¡± Chen Yushan turned around and pushed Ye Haochuan into the police vehicle. It was Ye Haochuan¡¯s first time in a police car, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel curious as he examined the interior of the vehicle. As soon as Chen Yushan closed the car door, she told her colleague to hurry up and drive back to the station. Turning back and seeing him peering around with his head covered, she slapped him on the head and snapped, ¡°Behave yourself.¡± Damn! S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Do they think they can push me around just like that? Just as Ye Haochuan was about to explode, an idea struck him, and he snickered, ¡°Miss police officer, you¡¯ve had menstrual irregularities for quite some time now, right?¡± Chapter 35 - 35 35 Dysmenorrhea ?35: Chapter 35 Dysmenorrhea 35: Chapter 35 Dysmenorrhea At these words, Liuzi, who was sitting next to him, as well as the police officer driving the car, were stunned. Then, both of their gazes swiftly converged on Chen Yushan¡¯s pretty face. Chen Yushan¡¯s face immediately flushed with anger, and a surge of rage welled up inside her. She swung another slap at him, but exclaimed angrily, ¡°You bastard, spouting nonsense¡­ Ugh!¡± But Ye Haochuan had caught her wrist in his grasp! Chen Yushan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. The handcuffs that had bound his hands didn¡¯t know when, but he had snapped them apart. Good heavens, what kind of person was this man? He had broken steel handcuffs? And how did he know about her irregular periods? Seeing the astonished expression on Chen Yushan¡¯s face, Ye Haochuan felt very pleased inside, thinking, ¡°Now you see how awesome I am, huh?¡± ¡°Heh heh, Officer Chen, whether I¡¯m spouting nonsense or not, you know the truth. I hope you realize that I followed you to the police station purely as a voluntary cooperation with the investigation, not for you to hit or curse at me whenever you feel like it,¡± he said coldly. Ye Haochuan sneered coldly, then let go of Chen Yushan¡¯s hand. Chen Yushan massaged her wrist, feeling an agonizing pain, but she knew she was no match for this thug. Though she despised him with an itching rage, she dared not provoke him further. ¡°Furthermore, your menstrual irregularities are a fact, a serious condition at that. If you don¡¯t get treatment soon, it¡¯s very likely to escalate into ovarian and cervical cancer. As a physician, I was merely trying to kindly remind you. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check out my medical license in my trouser pocket,¡± he added. ¡°Talk your mother¡¯s crap. You¡¯re the one turning into ovarian and cervical cancer¡ªyour whole family¡¯s turning into it,¡± Chen Yushan retorted angrily. Yet, despite her harsh words, she was somewhat scared inside. Because of her menstrual problems, she had frequented hospitals without any improvement. Some time ago, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine had told her that if it continued like this, serious diseases such as ovarian and cervical cancer could indeed result. Now, Ye Haochuan was saying the same thing, and without any scientific examination, he had made such a diagnosis, which was simply unbelievable. Thinking this, she felt a bit inclined to verify whether Ye Haochuan was really a physician or not, so she reached into his trouser pocket. Having never had any woman rummage through his pockets before, Ye Haochuan felt a strange sensation stirring within him. Remembering her fierce demeanor from before, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t resist the urge to tease her, and he made a strange noise, ¡°Deeper, go deeper, that¡¯s right, even deeper, oh yeah¡­¡± Chen Yushan could clearly tell that he was mocking her. The more she listened, the redder her face became, even her ears turned beet red, and she exploded in fury, ¡°You scumbag, shut up!¡± Liuzi and the other police officer driving the car struggled to hold back their laughter. The formidable squad leader of the detectives, usually so fierce-tempered, was being flirted with like this¡ªit was indeed an odd sight to behold! Ye Haochuan had claimed a small victory and was smugly pleased with himself. Be it a female officer or not, he didn¡¯t miss a beat in his teasing¡ªhow dare she act so haughty. By then, Chen Yushan had taken out the medical license and looked it over, then snorted dismissively, ¡°Heaven must be blind, allowing a scoundrel like you to become a doctor.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, ¡°Good people don¡¯t live long, bad folks live forever. If I¡¯m a bad guy in Officer Chen¡¯s eyes, that¡¯s great, just great. Officer Chen, I¡¯ll take your kind words to heart and strive to live a few more years. However, you can no longer delay dealing with your menstrual problem. I am a skilled physician, and I can remedy your worries with massage and manipulation techniques¡­¡± ¡°Massage, massage my ass, shut your damn mouth!¡± Chen Yushan glared at him hatefully, tempted to hit him on the head again, but ultimately, she let it go. For the rest of the journey, Chen Yushan no longer bothered to exchange another word with him. Ye Haochuan, however, was inwardly amused, thinking to himself, without me, your illness would surely be your downfall, and you might even come begging me for a massage by then. But I might just act according to my mood. Moreover, the thought of getting to touch and handle her was filled with a sense of anticipation and accomplishment. Lost in his thoughts, the police car finally arrived at the station, and Ye Haochuan was taken to the interrogation room. Chen Yushan was in charge of the interrogation herself. Knowing his strength was formidable, Chen Yushan specifically brought two sets of handcuffs and clamped them on his wrists. Crack, crack! Ye Haochuan barely flexed and the two pairs of handcuffs snapped apart. ¡°Officer Chen, are you telling me that the police department is wasting our taxpayers¡¯ money? Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The quality of these handcuffs you guys procure is really too poor,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. ¡°You¡­ you did that on purpose!¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s lungs were about to explode with anger. ¡°Please, it¡¯s clearly the poor quality of your police handcuffs, okay?¡± Ye Haochuan said innocently. Chen Yushan knew that arguing with him was a complete waste of time, and she wouldn¡¯t gain anything from it. She sat down with Little Six, who was responsible for co-interrogating, at the interrogation table and began to ask in a stern manner. ¡°Name?¡± ¡°Ye Haochuan.¡± ¡°Age?¡± ¡°22.¡± ¡°Gender?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see for yourself?¡± This rascal. Chen Yushan slammed the table and shouted, ¡°Be serious, answer whatever you¡¯re asked¡­ Gender?¡± ¡°Not a woman, nor am I androgynous.¡± Chen Yushan suddenly stood up and slammed her handgun on the table, exploding in anger, ¡°Want to die, do you? Answer properly, what¡¯s your gender?¡± Such a simple question, and yet it needs to be asked several times. Are her eyes on her butt? Ye Haochuan, speechless, replied lazily: ¡°Male.¡± ¡°Why did you commit mass murder?¡± Ye Haochuan furrowed his brow and said, ¡°Officer Chen, I hope you understand something. Though I am a murder suspect, I did not kill innocents, I killed terrorists. As for terrorists, everyone has the right to execute them. I don¡¯t need to explain that, do I?¡± ¡°You say they were terrorists, so they¡¯re terrorists? Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, what you say doesn¡¯t matter, the law decides,¡± Chen Yushan huffed. ¡°Who I am isn¡¯t important, but others will decide. Besides, under those circumstances, so many people were attacking me, I was acting in self-defense.¡± ¡°Self-defense? What a self-defense? If you claim you killed terrorists, then why did you injure others so severely? Are you saying they were all terrorists? I don¡¯t think so,¡± Chen Yushan sneered. ¡°Please, Officer Chen, people say you¡¯re a bimbo and you won¡¯t even admit it. The injuries of the others have nothing to do with me. It was the terrorist who used the ¡®Lion¡¯s Roar¡¯, a profound Inner Strength technique, to fatally injure these people¡¯s internal organs,¡± Ye Haochuan explained. Bimbo? Chen Yushan hated this term the most because she didn¡¯t know how many people made fun of her with it, but was it her fault for being well-endowed? ¡°Inner Strength? Don¡¯t joke around, can Inner Strength really kill people? Do you think this is the Martial Arts World? Haven¡¯t you been reading too many internet novels?¡± Chen Yushan retorted sarcastically. Ye Haochuan shook his head; this world was so strange, telling lies got belief, while telling the truth got nothing but skepticism. Seeing him silent for a long time, Chen Yushan barked, ¡°Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist. Ye Haochuan, I urge you to come clean, stop playing these tricks to fool people. Otherwise, severe legal punishment awaits you, you got that?¡± Ye Haochuan simply closed his eyes. Seeing him ignore her like this, Chen Yushan was fuming with rage. She wanted to go over there and give him a good beating, but recalling his formidable skills, she hesitated. At this moment, it was Liuzi who quietly suggested, ¡°Boss, let¡¯s just lock him up and let him stew for a while. Maybe he won¡¯t be able to take it and will confess on his own.¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s eyes lit up, right, what a good idea! Chapter 36 - 36 36 First Ill beat you up then well talk! ?36: Chapter 36: First I¡¯ll beat you up, then we¡¯ll talk! 36: Chapter 36: First I¡¯ll beat you up, then we¡¯ll talk! Haishan City, Yongsheng Group, Chairman Sun Yongsheng¡¯s office. At this moment, Sun Yongsheng was looking over the property development report submitted by the Real Estate Development Department with great interest. Just then, the door was pushed open and a bodyguard rushed in, anxiously saying, ¡°Boss, things have gone south, the Eighth Master has been killed.¡± ¡°What? Fang Ba killed? How is that possible?¡± Sun Yongsheng was shocked. In his eyes, Fang Ba was a mysterious figure from the worldly society whose martial skills were profound and mystical. Even his own bodyguards, who were from the Special Forces, were no match for him, especially with the enigmatic power behind Fang Ba that filled one with dread. But now, to his utter disbelief, Fang Ba had been killed! Remembering that Fang Ba had been called by his son to assist, Sun Yongsheng anxiously inquired about his son¡¯s condition. ¡°Boss, the young master is alright, he has just suffered some internal injuries. He¡¯s currently in the hospital and recovering quite optimistically,¡± the bodyguard said. Sun Yongsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His son was the sole heir of the Sun Family; as long as he was okay, everything else could be handled. ¡°Have you figured out who killed Fang Ba?¡± ¡°It was a man named Ye Haochuan. He¡¯s currently detained at the police station.¡± Sun Yongsheng nodded and said fiercely, ¡°This kid must have some ability to kill Fang Ba, but he dares to go against my son, I¡¯ll be damned if I don¡¯t make him pay. Go, bribe someone inside the police station, and give that kid a good beating.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡­ Haishan City Police Station, inside the sealed detention room. Ye Haochuan was sitting cross-legged, immersing himself in the study of the ¡°Lion¡¯s Roar¡± and ¡°Bone Fracture Hand,¡± two cultivation techniques he had snatched. With the memories passed down from Holy Hand, these two techniques weren¡¯t very profound, making his study go smoothly. In no time, he had grasped the essence of the ¡°Lion¡¯s Roar.¡± Energy sinking to his Dantian, Ye Haochuan slowly guided his breath to his throat before bursting it out with a roar, ¡°Roar!¡± All at once, a huge roar echoed throughout the entire detention room, causing a slight tremor, and even the dust on the walls began to fall. Seeing this, Ye Haochuan was secretly pleased. Damn, this ¡°Lion¡¯s Roar¡± was indeed no simple feat! Caught up in excitement, he let out several more roars, each louder than the last, becoming more and more adept in its use. Unbeknownst to him, his roaring was unbearable for the policemen outside the detention room; they all felt dizzy, staggering on their feet. Fortunately, he realized in time and gradually ceased, turning to cultivate the ¡°Bone Fracture Hand¡± instead. The ¡°Bone Fracture Hand¡± was not difficult to learn; it comprised only thirteen moves, each vicious and cunning. It was a good thing that Fang Ba wasn¡¯t in the Postnatal Early Stage, otherwise, he would have been the one to die. After mastering the ¡°Bone Fracture Hand,¡± Ye Haochuan felt it deeply ingrained in him. He jumped off the bed and stood as firm as Mount Tai. Suddenly, Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes narrowed, and a sharp light burst forth from the slits of his eyelids! Boom! He lunged forward, his clothes fluttering with the movement. His palms turned into claws, now grappling, now tearing, now fiercely thrusting, executing every move with precision. As he felt more and more adept, a mischievous spirit rose within him, and he started to gesture toward the concrete walls of the detention room. Shhh, shhh, shhh¡­ Dirt flew everywhere, engulfing the air with dust! After executing the thirteen Bone Fracture Hand moves, Ye Haochuan felt exhilaratingly refreshed, indescribably pleased. The commotion inside the detention cell quickly alarmed the guards outside, who rushed over to scold the culprit, but before they could open their mouths, they were stunned by the sight of wall scratches, with the steel reinforcement fully exposed! Shit, is this even human? It¡¯s more like a monster! The on-duty officers were so frightened that they hurriedly called for Chen Yushan. Chen Yushan clenched her teeth in rage upon witnessing the scene, ¡°You freak, this is a detention cell! Can¡¯t you just stay put? Why must you cause destruction?¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Please, the construction quality of this detention cell is just too poor, it¡¯s practically made of tofu dregs.¡± ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± Chen Yushan pointed at his nose and snapped, ¡°Ye Haochuan, listen up, better behave yourself, or don¡¯t blame me for not being courteous!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m quite curious to see, Officer Beauty, how you¡¯re going to be ¡®discourteous¡¯ to me?¡± Ye Haochuan replied, unabashed. Chen Yushan snorted, ¡°The evidence we¡¯ve collected so far is concrete. Even without your confession, we already have a complete chain of evidence for murder. Even if we shoot you dead right now, the prosecutor¡¯s office won¡¯t have any objections.¡± Damn, this female cop is ruthless! She talks about shooting to kill so casually. Fine, once I¡¯m out of here, there¡¯ll come a day when I¡¯ll be the one pulling the gun on you, beating you until you drop your armor and beg for mercy. As Ye Haochuan entertained these thoughts, he couldn¡¯t help but shoot her a mischievous glance. Chen Yushan could clearly see the wicked look in his eye and felt extreme disgust. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Huang Kaiseng, the head of the Criminal Police Squad, arrived with several male officers. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing the chaos in the detention cell, Huang Kaiseng¡¯s face darkened, but internally he was overjoyed. Wasn¡¯t this the perfect excuse to deal with this punk? Actually, he had just received a call from Chairman Sun¡¯s bodyguard from the Yongsheng Group, who without a word had transferred one hundred thousand yuan into his bank account, with the simple request to give Ye Haochuan a good thrashing. ¡°You¡¯ve got some nerve, Ye Haochuan, to be so arrogant even in here. You guys go in and give him a good beating, make him behave.¡± Hearing Huang Kaiseng¡¯s words, Chen Yushan was taken aback, Captain Huang, have you lost your mind, daring to provoke Ye Haochuan, this scourge? ¡°Captain Huang, be careful, this guy is no simpleton¡­¡± It was the first time Huang Kaiseng heard the beauty of the department call for him to be careful, making him feel all gooey inside. He smirked as his eyes swept over her body and waved his hand dismissively, ¡°Captain Chen, when dealing with such stubborn criminals, we can¡¯t be too merciful!¡± It was no wonder Huang Kaiseng felt this way; after all, Chen Yushan¡¯s fiery figure would make any man weak at the knees. ¡°But¡­¡± Before Chen Yushan could continue persuading, the cell door opened, and a few policemen charged in, truncheons poised fiercely. In no time, sounds of intense fighting and screams of agony echoed from within. Huang Kaiseng found it odd and went to the door, only to see the policemen he had brought all lying on the ground, covered in blood, their uniforms torn to shreds. As for Ye Haochuan, he was standing with an air of smug self-satisfaction. ¡°Fuck! In the police station, you dare assault a cop?¡± Huang Kaiseng cursed, his head heating up with anger, and charged in, delivering a kick straight to Ye Haochuan¡¯s chest. Ye Haochuan gave a cold laugh, ready to deal with another fool. Without a word, he reached out with his Bone Fracture Hand, grabbed Huang Kaiseng¡¯s calf, and with a tug, sent him tumbling uncontrollably toward himself. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Haochuan grabbed his chest and glared, ¡°Shit, me assaulting officers? It¡¯s you bastards who, without any right or reason, wanted to beat me up! Fine, if you won¡¯t play by the rules, neither will I. I¡¯ll give it to you first!¡± After speaking, he delivered a hard slap across Huang Kaiseng¡¯s face. Chapter 37 - 37 37 Laozi apologizes like this! ?37: Chapter 37 Laozi apologizes like this! 37: Chapter 37 Laozi apologizes like this! With a popup smack, a thunderous slap landed squarely on Huang Kaiseng¡¯s face! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Huang Kaiseng was dumbstruck on the spot! Shit, as the mighty leader of the criminal police squad, to be slapped by a criminal! ¡°Fuck, you son of a bitch, you dare to hit me? Do you fucking know who I am?¡± Huang Kaiseng bulged his eyes, bellowing. ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are! You, a leader of the criminal police squad, dared to abuse power, you fucking deserve to be slapped!¡± After saying that, Ye Haochuan delivered another fierce slap. Although Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t use much force with this slap, it was still at least fifty pounds of power, sending Huang Kaiseng spiraling to heaven! Outside, Chen Yushan was terrified and hurriedly rushed in, pulling out her pistol and aiming at Ye Haochuan, she shouted, ¡°Ye Haochuan, stop, stop right now, or I¡¯ll shoot!¡± Only then did Ye Haochuan stop, looking at Huang Kaiseng whose face was now swollen, he casually shook his head and cursed, ¡°Shit, messing up my hair just to beat you up.¡± Hearing this, Chen Yushan wanted to laugh but dared not, what kind of person was this, having killed someone, attacked an officer, and still in the mood for jokes? By this time, Huang Kaiseng had slowly come to his senses, seeing Chen Yushan had controlled the situation, he got up, but the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Damn it, he had wanted to use the chance to handle Ye Haochuan for Chairman Sun to show off in front of Chen Yushan, to display some manly authority, but ended up exposing his own ass, so humiliating! ¡°Rebellion, utter rebellion!¡± In a rage, Huang Kaiseng pulled out his gun, pointed it at Ye Haochuan, and roared, ¡°You son of a bitch, kneel down! Apologize, or I¡¯ll blow your brains out!¡± ¡°Apologize?¡± Ye Haochuan scoffed, suddenly flashed, and before Huang Kaiseng could react, his vision blurred and Ye Haochuan had disappeared. But soon, he felt a pain in his wrist, and his gun had been snatched away! ¡°Ah!¡± Huang Kaiseng was terrified. ¡°This is how I apologize!¡± Ye Haochuan violently smashed the gun onto Huang Kaiseng¡¯s forehead. ¡°Ouch!¡± Huang Kaiseng screamed out, his hand on his forehead coming away covered in blood. As his instincts wanted to fight back against Ye Haochuan, the latter had already pressed the gun against his forehead, shouting, ¡°Stay still! I¡¯ve killed terrorists before, don¡¯t mind adding you to the list!¡± Huang Kaiseng¡¯s face instantly turned pale, daring not to move. Meanwhile, Chen Yushan shouted loudly, ¡°Ye Haochuan, do you realize what you are doing? This is a blatant attack on a police officer, an additional degree to your crime, do you understand?¡± ¡°An additional degree?¡± Ye Haochuan whistled, ¡°Beautiful officer, don¡¯t scare me, I get scared easily. Didn¡¯t you just say even without my testimony, there was already a complete evidence chain for murder? What does that mean? It means I¡¯m dead meat anyway! So, an additional degree doesn¡¯t make much difference to me.¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s expression changed, thinking to herself, this is bad, this murderer might be losing his sanity, and if he goes on a killing spree, who could stop him? In a panic, she shouted loudly, ¡°Ye Haochuan, don¡¯t do anything rash.¡± ¡°Do anything rash?¡± Ye Haochuan pretended to be enlightened, chuckling, ¡°Beautiful officer, thanks for the reminder. Since it¡¯s all the same in death, I might as well cause some chaos today.¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s heart sank, and in her anxiety, she stamped her feet, cursing herself for being too talkative. At that moment, Ye Haochuan lifted Huang Kaiseng and used him as a shield against Chen Yushan¡¯s gun, slowly pushing the pistol¡¯s barrel into his mouth. Huang Kaiseng¡¯s face turned pale with fear, he whimpered incessantly, ¡°Spare me, hero, spare me, I have an elderly mother of eighty years old, and below¡­¡± ¡°Stop right there! That line¡¯s so old!¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head and glared, ¡°Did you think of sparing my life when you brought men to beat me up? Did you think of your eighty-year-old mother?¡± Huang Kaiseng was speechless. Seeing Ye Haochuan about to kill Captain Huang, Chen Yushan panicked, ¡°Ye Haochuan, what exactly do you want? Just because Captain Huang came to beat you, you want to kill him?¡± ¡°What exactly do I want?¡± Ye Haochuan nodded, ¡°I don¡¯t want to do much, nor did I plan to escape from prison, but I was here minding my own business, and you all had to come and trouble me, who can you blame?¡± Chen Yushan breathed a sigh of relief, it was good as long as he wasn¡¯t planning on escaping, but she felt strangely curious about his reasons. In a grave voice, she asked, ¡°So you mean to say, as long as we don¡¯t trouble you, you¡¯ll behave properly?¡± ¡°That¡¯s one way to put it.¡± Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t want to escalate the situation, only needing to wait for Dragon Roar to rescue him, so he nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s settle it this way, I can assure you that in the coming days, we won¡¯t trouble you anymore.¡± ¡°Your assurance? How can you assure me? You police, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know, say one thing and do another.¡± ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll stay as a hostage, just spare Captain Huang¡¯s life,¡± Chen Yushan clenched her teeth and said. Huang Kaiseng was startled and kept saying it wasn¡¯t possible. ¡°Shut your damn mouth!¡± Ye Haochuan smacked Huang Kaiseng¡¯s head with the butt of his gun, and after seeing him settle down, he finally said, ¡°Alright, Officer Beauty, then have your officers put down their guns, and you stay, while the rest get the hell out!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Yushan immediately handed her gun to the policemen behind her and instructed them to carry out the colleagues who were immobile on the ground, then she stepped forward to take Huang Kaiseng¡¯s place. Watching her maintain her composure, Ye Haochuan¡¯s mind stirred, and using his Perspective Eyes, Chen Yushan¡¯s black police uniform began to fade away, revealing her wheat-colored skin. Unlike before when he sneakily spied on her from behind while she was led to the police car, now he was doing it openly and unashamedly. However, at that moment, Ye Haochuan wasn¡¯t in the mood to appreciate her graceful figure. After carefully scanning her, he noticed a handgun at her right thigh! Hehe, just as I suspected, this beautiful officer means no good! Ye Haochuan understood clearly without showing any reaction, pushed Huang Kaiseng out, and at the same time wrapped his arm around Chen Yushan¡¯s neck and used his foot to shut the cell door. ¡°Everyone listen up, no one is allowed within ten meters of the cell door, or else don¡¯t blame me for not being polite!¡± Ye Haochuan shouted, clearly addressing those outside the detention room. ¡°Ye Haochuan, you listen to me, if anything happens to Captain Chen, I won¡¯t spare you!¡± Huang Kaiseng shouted loudly. Ye Haochuan really wanted to say, you¡¯re so miserably beaten by me, yet you still dare to speak so boldly, but he was too lazy for idle talk. This coward could only satisfy himself with words now. Dragging Chen Yushan to the edge of the bed, Ye Haochuan smirked, ¡°Officer Chen, I didn¡¯t realize you were so brave, but let me warn you, stay here quietly and don¡¯t make any moves, or else I might really harm a beauty!¡± After saying that, he deliberately looked her up and down with a bad intention, even provocatively licking his lips. Chapter 38 - 38 38 Damn! ?38: Chapter 38 Damn! 38: Chapter 38 Damn! Watching his movements, Chen Yushan was extremely humiliated and cursed his ancestors in her heart, but now, as the saying goes, ¡®the lamb on the block,¡¯ she had no choice but to obey. She had already decided that the moment she got the chance, she would use the pistol hidden in her thigh to kill him and eliminate a scourge for the people! Although this might lead to disciplinary action, the situation was urgent, and she couldn¡¯t care less! Ye Haochuan was unaware of her thoughts and carelessly sat cross-legged not far from her, starting to cultivate the Longevity Technique as if no one else was around. This scene genuinely stunned Chen Yushan for a moment, and she thought to herself, could this person be sick? Had he watched too many martial arts TV shows? Was he trying to emulate those martial arts masters meditating and practicing? Just as she was about to quietly draw the pistol from her thigh to kill Ye Haochuan, she suddenly heard him open his eyes, turn his head to look at her, and chuckle creepily, ¡°Officer Chen, you¡¯d better not wave weapons around in front of me, or I might also draw my gun on you. Oh, someone as fine as you must taste amazing.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Chen Yushan could clearly grasp the implication behind his words, guessing that he had discovered her hidden pistol. However, this bastard was really despicable, not only warning her but also deliberately harassing her with comments about how she ¡®must taste amazing.¡¯ Taste great, my ass! ¡°What did you say? I don¡¯t understand,¡± Chen Yushan feigned ignorance, trying to bluff her way through. ¡°Don¡¯t understand?¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled and suddenly pinned her down on the bed! In the midst of Chen Yushan¡¯s cries of alarm, Ye Haochuan lifted up her black skirt and yanked out the pistol hidden inside her thigh, along with its holster. ¡°Officer Chen, what is this?¡± Ye Haochuan asked with a smirk. Chen Yushan was intensely humiliated and inwardly confused, unable to figure out how he could possibly know the secret of the pistol hidden inside her thigh. After throwing the pistol far aside and sitting down again, Ye Haochuan said, ¡°Officer Chen, regarding what just happened, I can overlook it, but I hope you understand that it¡¯s best not to test my patience. Otherwise, I really will have to draw my gun on you. Think about it. All your colleagues are outside. If they see you with me¡­heh, you know.¡± ¡°You are shameless,¡± Chen Yushan said, overwhelmed with humiliation. However, despite her inner grievances, she had no choice but to sit quietly. ¡°Very good, very good. Officer Chen has finally seen my true colors. It¡¯s best if you stay compliant,¡± Ye Haochuan laughed. Seeing that she had calmed down, Ye Haochuan returned to focusing on cultivating the Longevity Technique. Time ticked away, and by now, it was 7 p.m. After a day on duty, Chen Yushan started feeling drowsy and gradually leaned against the wall and fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, Ye Haochuan¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Listen up out there, stop sneaking around and get the hell away from me. If you dare come within ten meters of the cell door again, don¡¯t blame me for not being polite!¡± Chen Yushan woke up startled and listened carefully, but there seemed to be no movement at all! Just as she was about to criticize him for overreacting, Ye Haochuan suddenly turned his head and said, ¡°Cover your ears!¡± Although Chen Yushan found it inexplicable, she did as she was told. Then, Ye Haochuan unleashed the Lion¡¯s Roar towards the outside. Soon, a few police officers who had tried to approach with guns felt dizzy, bled from their noses and mouths, and collapsed to the ground. This was Ye Haochuan showing mercy. If he had increased his power, they might have bled from all seven orifices and died. Outside the detention room. Huang Kaiseng, seeing his secretly organized surprise attack easily detected by Ye Haochuan and causing his men to be inexplicably injured, was frantically stomping his feet and ordered a few police officers to quickly rescue them. Before long, the injured officers were carried back, and seeing their miserable state, Huang Kaiseng felt chilled to the bone. Just what kind of person was Ye Haochuan? With just a ghastly cry, his men had ended up like this. At that moment, a police officer who had just retreated said, ¡°Captain Huang, should we report this to the department heads? If something happens to Captain Chen, we won¡¯t be able to bear the responsibility!¡± ¡°Are you out of your mind?¡± Huang Kaiseng scolded, ¡°If we report this to the leaders, we¡¯ll all be screwed, and getting disciplined would be the least of our problems. The suspect is still in the cell, only having taken Captain Chen hostage. If we can rescue Captain Chen, won¡¯t everything be resolved?¡± At that moment, a flurry of disordered footsteps came from behind. Huang Kaiseng turned his head to look, and a group of people hurried over, led by none other than the police chief Luo Yong and the head of the criminal police, Wang Qiang. The police beside him quickly gestured to Huang Kaiseng with a pucker of his lips; the latter got the hint and was about to step forward to report the situation when he heard Luo Yong command, ¡°Hurry, release Mr. Ye Haochuan.¡± Release him? S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then what was the point of the beating I just endured? Huang Kaiseng was stunned, ¡°What? Release him? But Director Luo, that guy is a murderer!¡± Wang Qiang slapped him across the face and barked, ¡°Murderer my ass! The person Mr. Ye killed was a terrorist, a terrorist, do you understand? Dammit, what are you still standing there for? Go and release him now!¡± After receiving another slap, Huang Kaiseng was utterly dumbfounded. What was this leading criminal police officer playing at? But he dared not delay any further, rushing with several subordinates straight to the detention room. Luo Yong and Wang Qiang followed closely behind. Upon reaching the door of the detention room, Luo Yong and Wang Qiang glanced inside. Under the bright lights, they saw the officer recognized as the beautiful Chen Yushan and a young man sitting at opposite ends of a bed, which left them somewhat baffled. What¡¯s going on here? Why is Chen Yushan here? Luo Yong and Wang Qiang exchanged glances, both somewhat mystified. Seeing her superiors and colleagues staring at her strangely, Chen Yushan felt extremely embarrassed and uneasy but couldn¡¯t find a way to explain, so she stood up awkwardly. At that moment, Luo Yong noticed the walls inside the detention room covered in scratch marks, with even the steel rebar exposed. He was shocked on the spot, thinking, Who did this? It couldn¡¯t be this young man named Ye Haochuan, could it? Thinking back to how respectfully Secretary Lin had spoken over the phone about Ye Haochuan being a remarkable person of this era, Luo Yong began to completely believe it. At that moment, Huang Kaiseng approached with a forced smile and said to Ye Haochuan, ¡°Uh, Mr. Ye¡­ Our leaders have spoken. You¡¯re free now, please come out.¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, ¡°What? He¡¯s free?¡± Ye Haochuan opened his eyes, and seeing the commotion outside, he realized that Long Xiaotian must have pulled some strings to rescue him. He immediately jumped off the bed and scoffed at Huang Kaiseng, ¡°I thought I was a murder suspect? Why am I being released then?¡± Huang Kaiseng¡¯s face was a portrait of embarrassment, but he was also truly puzzled, unable to understand why the leaders had decided to release him. Chen Yushan was about to protest but was met with a stern look from Wang Qiang, signaling her to remain silent. ¡°Mr. Ye, right?¡± Luo Yong managed a forced smile, ¡°I apologize, Mr. Ye. I am Luo Yong, the chief of the Haishan Police Station. There was a mistake in our work, and we wrongfully detained you. Now, on behalf of the Haishan Police Station, I would like to offer you our sincere apology.¡± After finishing, he bowed deeply with all the police staff present. Huang Kaiseng and Chen Yushan were frozen on the spot, unsure what to do. They were dim-witted but knew that such groveling by their leader indicated complexities behind this incident. At that moment, Ye Haochuan felt incredibly vindicated. Before this, he would never have dared to demand an apology from the police chiefs, but it seemed that the influence of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect in Huaxia Country was indeed significant. ¡°Seeing your sincerity, I won¡¯t hold this against you. However, your police department really needs to sort itself out. How can you justify the misuse of torture?¡± Subsequently, Ye Haochuan detailed all the despicable acts committed by Huang Kaiseng and his cohorts. ¡°What? There was such a matter?¡± Luo Yong and Wang Qiang instantly turned their stern gazes toward Huang Kaiseng, their eyes icy cold. The police involved with Huang Kaiseng¡¯s group immediately felt the situation was dire, thinking, It¡¯s over, it¡¯s all over! Chapter 39 - 39 39 How about giving yourself to someone ?39: Chapter 39: How about giving yourself to someone? 39: Chapter 39: How about giving yourself to someone? Sure enough, Wang Qiang immediately began berating him, ¡°So it¡¯s you, Huang Kaiseng, daring to lead the abuse of private punishment? Do you even resemble a Criminal Police Squadron Leader anymore? Do you still deserve to wear this sacred and solemn police uniform?¡± Huang Kaiseng¡¯s head drooped, his face turned pale, and he was trembling with fear. Moreover, having already experienced Ye Haochuan¡¯s capabilities, he didn¡¯t dare utter a word in refusal. At this point, Wang Qiang turned to the group of police officers in cahoots with Huang Kaiseng and yelled, ¡°And you guys, what¡¯s with all of you? The leader makes a blunder and you all follow suit? Have you completely forgotten the police creed you learned at the academy?¡± ¡°Old Wang, quit wasting words with these scumbags. Luckily, we arrived just in time. If we were any later, who knows what they could have stirred up? Thankfully, Mr. Ye has remained restrained, otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.¡± When Luo Yong reached this point, he addressed Huang Kaiseng and the others, ¡°You all listen, from now on, you are all dismissed!¡± What? All dismissed? Seeing how the wind was blowing, one police officer hurriedly confessed, his face strained as he said, ¡°Director Luo, this isn¡¯t my fault. It¡¯s Captain Huang who took money from Yongsheng Group. He¡¯s the boss, we couldn¡¯t just not follow his orders!¡± The other officers quickly chimed in, pointing the finger at Huang Kaiseng. Huang Kaiseng was greatly alarmed, ¡°What are you talking about? No¡­ no¡­ ¡± If he were dismissed, that would still be light, but being disciplined by the party was the most fatal; though 100,000 wasn¡¯t much, according to party discipline, he would at least have to face a year in prison. ¡°Captain Huang, you took the money, and you were the one who told us,¡± one police officer said. ¡°You can¡¯t deny it now¡­ Director Luo, Captain Wang, if you don¡¯t believe us, you can check Captain Huang¡¯s bank account¡­¡± Huang Kaiseng felt increasingly uneasy. At that moment, Luo Yong spoke in a grave tone, ¡°Someone take Huang Kaiseng to the detention room, and wait for the investigation results. Once verified, he will be dealt with according to party and national laws.¡± Immediately, two police officers took Huang Kaiseng away to the detention room without further explanation. At this moment, Huang Kaiseng regretted deeply¡ªhe green with remorse thinking that he should have never taken that 100,000. Now, he ended up as a prisoner, the irony! At the same time, he fully realized that he should never have meddled with Ye Haochuan. This man was simply not someone he could afford to provoke! After dealing with Huang Kaiseng, Luo Yong then cautiously turned to Ye Haochuan, ¡°Mr. Ye, I wonder if you are satisfied with our handling of this matter?¡± Ye Haochuan nodded slightly, saying gently, ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Wang Qiang then smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Ye, maybe you haven¡¯t had dinner yet? How about you join us at a restaurant near the police station to have a good meal and calm your nerves?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head, as the urgency now was to quickly return to school. ¡°Well then, Mr. Ye, have a safe journey, and if you need anything in the future, please come to us. We will definitely assist you wholeheartedly¡­¡± Luo Yong nodded and bowed deeply, his sycophantic demeanor leaving Chen Yushan stunned. Just who is this guy? Even someone like Director Luo doesn¡¯t dare to offend him? ¡°By the way, the things that were seized when I checked into the hotel, I hope they can be returned quickly.¡± Ye Haochuan frowned. Luo Yong swiftly signaled to Chen Yushan with his eyes, ¡°Little Chen, you caused this mess, now hurry and bring Mr. Ye¡¯s things.¡± Chen Yushan, not daring to disobey, quickly brought Ye Haochuan¡¯s package of medicinal herbs and the Copper Furnace back. Ye Haochuan roughly checked the items and seeing that everything was there, he smiled, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered, ¡°Officer Chen, within three days, I daresay your menstrual irregularities will worsen, even endangering your life. If you trust me, remember my phone number, 138*******. Just give me a call, and I guarantee you a massage and acupressure service.¡± After speaking, he deliberately blew a breath of air gently into Chen Yushan¡¯s ear. Chen Yushan felt a tickling in her ear, and her cheeks burned as if on fire, ¡°This jerk, how dare he openly tease me!¡± Even though she gritted her teeth with hatred for Ye Haochuan, with Director Luo and Captain Wang present, she didn¡¯t dare act rashly. She had to swallow her pride and snorted, ¡°Serve you, my foot! I¡¯d rather die than seek your help.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed loudly, ¡°Well then, ignore the advice of the elders and suffer for it right in front of your eyes. It¡¯s up to you.¡± After saying that, he picked up his package and left on his own. Seeing Ye Haochuan stride out of the police station, Chen Yushan was struck by an idea and, gathering her courage, hurriedly asked Wang Qiang, ¡°Captain Wang, who is this man, really?¡± ¡°Who?¡± Wang Qiang revealed a relieved smile, ¡°Let me tell you, he¡¯s someone so powerful that we can hardly imagine. Little Chen, consider yourself lucky. Mr. Ye didn¡¯t hold this against you; otherwise, neither I nor Director Luo could have protected you.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Chen Yushan was stunned. ¡­ When Ye Haochuan had just left the police station, the night was deep and the cool breeze was blowing, clearing away the day¡¯s heat completely. ¡°Screech!¡± A white BMW slowly stopped by the curb. Ye Haochuan turned his head to look, and as the car window rolled down, Zhao Bingqian¡¯s charming and cute face appeared. ¡°Uncle, do you need a ride from this young lady?¡± Zhao Bingqian teased with a whistle, her face brimming with a smile. ¡°With the beautiful Bingqian offering a ride, how could I refuse without chilling this lovely lady¡¯s heart?¡± Laughing, Ye Haochuan first put his package in the trunk then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as he had buckled up, Zhao Bingqian returned his phone. She then released the handbrake, gently stepped on the gas, and said, ¡°Uncle, that friend of yours with the surname Long told me to pass a message to you, just four words, ¡®Keep your nose clean.''¡± Keep your nose clean? Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly. Dragon Roar made it sound so easy. When you¡¯re in the worldly society, you¡¯re not your own master; doesn¡¯t he understand that? He asks me to keep my nose clean, but will my rivals do the same? Thinking of how Huang Kaiseng was incited by Yongsheng Group to make things difficult for him, Ye Haochuan knew that he had completely fallen out with Sun Zhe, that scum, beyond reconciliation. Although he now possessed formidable strength, he didn¡¯t have the power to dictate life and death over anyone; he was still under the control of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect! ¡°Uncle, this Mr. Long, who is he to you? Why do I feel he¡¯s so mysterious?¡± Zhao Bingqian steered the BMW onto the main road and suddenly asked. ¡°This Mr. Long, how to put it? Actually, brother doesn¡¯t even know him, never even met face to face,¡± Ye Haochuan touched his nose. ¡°What? You don¡¯t know him? Are you kidding? And he still helped you?¡± Zhao Bingqian was speechless on the spot. ¡°Brother¡¯s charm is great, haha,¡± Ye Haochuan laughed. ¡°Whatever,¡± Zhao Bingqian pouted, clearly unimpressed, then suddenly giggled, ¡°By the way, uncle, I went to great lengths to help you this time. How are you going to thank me, huh?¡± ¡°Well¡­ sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. how about I devote my life to you?¡± ¡°Drop dead!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Chapter 40 - 40 40 Tofu ?40: Chapter 40 Tofu 40: Chapter 40 Tofu When Ye Haochuan returned to school, it was precisely 9:30 p.m., and it was already quite late. However, for the students, this was exactly the time when evening self-study ended. As Zhao Bingqian drove her BMW into the parking lot of building seven, Ye Haochuan noticed many girls from the dormitory returning to their rooms in succession. Since the dorm manager had posted the announcement, all the girls in building seven knew that he was the school-appointed doctor and were no longer surprised to see him. Still, many girls, attracted by his tall and handsome appearance, were throwing him flirtatious glances. Upon returning to dorm 512, a tempting fragrance of dishes hit him, and as Ye Haochuan looked up, he saw a table full of steaming food, which moved him greatly. Unsurprisingly, it was the work of Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue, the three dormitory girls, celebrating his return from the police station. Still, Ye Haochuan wondered how the three girls could time it so precisely when he hadn¡¯t said when he would return. Just then, three girls suddenly burst out of the kitchen, making scary faces and waving their arms, giving Ye Haochuan quite a fright. ¡°Welcome back, Brother Ye, yay!¡± Once he realized it was Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue, Ye Haochuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Please, you girls almost scared me to death.¡± Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue burst into a joyous laughter again. It must be said, the connection between people really does vary¡ªjust look at the smiles of the three girls, each distinct and charming in its own way. Lin Qingxuan¡¯s smile, shy and timid, had a touch of a gentle and delicate southern girl. Zhang Ziyi¡¯s laugh was open and mature, revealing a vibe of an intelligent girl. Su Yingxue¡¯s smile was sexy and captivating, particularly with the small mole by her mouth, lending a playful flair when she laughed. So, Ye Haochuan was momentarily spellbound, seeing such beauties all at once, something he hadn¡¯t experienced in his past eight lives! Seeing him in a dumbstruck daze, Zhao Bingqian smirked and gently tapped him, saying, ¡°Come on, uncle, haven¡¯t seen a beauty in eight lives? Look at you, your eyes are about to pop out.¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly came back to his senses, feeling a bit embarrassed, but soon regained his shameless nature and laughed, ¡°Right, I haven¡¯t seen beauties in my past eight lives, especially not three such stunning beauties like them.¡± Lin Qingxuan and the other two girls giggled once more. Zhao Bingqian snorted, ¡°What about me? Am I not a beauty too?¡± she said, while emphasizing her impressive bosom. Ye Haochuan shook his head and said, ¡°Beautiful indeed, but sadly, only for looking, not for eating!¡± Lin Qingxuan and the other two girls could not help but burst into laughter, rocking back and forth as if shaking like branches in the wind. Zhao Bingqian, with a full face of exasperation and hands on her hips, dissatisfied, said, ¡°Uncle, what do you mean by that?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile, ¡°What else could I mean? You know what I mean.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand!¡± Zhao Bingqian said loudly. Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Zhang Ziyi quickly tried to smooth things over, ¡°Qianqian, let¡¯s forgive Brother Ye, he¡¯s just come out from the police station and is starving.¡± Su Yingxue added, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, let¡¯s eat, the food is ready.¡± Lin Qingxuan also pulled Zhao Bingqian aside, kindly convincing her. After some persuasion, she finally calmed down. Later, surrounded by the four beauties, Ye Haochuan sat down at the dining table, but upon seeing the tableful food resembling a strange medley¡ªspinach stir-fried with oranges, watermelon stirred with bananas, pineapple mixed with tofu¡­ ¡°Come on, Brother Ye, try our cooking,¡± Su Yingxue said playfully. ¡°This is the first time the three of us have cooked. Many guys wish they could experience our cooking¡ªit¡¯s a rare opportunity indeed.¡± ¡°With this dish, even a fool could tell it¡¯s your first time cooking!¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless. But how could he let down the girls¡¯ kind intentions? He quickly said, ¡°Okay, let me have a taste.¡± He picked an orange slice from the stir-fried vegetables and oranges dish and barely chewed it when, damn, his teeth were almost souring! S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes bulged out on the spot. Zhang Ziyi asked with hopeful eyes, ¡°Brother Ye, I personally made this dish. How is it? The taste isn¡¯t bad, right?¡± Seeing Ziyi¡¯s eager expression, how could Ye Haochuan bear to disappoint her? He forced himself to say, ¡°Not bad, this sourness is refreshing!¡± The oranges were so sour, of course they were ¡®refreshing¡¯! Zhang Ziyi became smug and said to Lin Qingxuan and Su Yingxue, ¡°How about that? My cooking skills are unmatched, right?¡± Then, Su Yingxue also had Ye Haochuan taste her stir-fried watermelon with bananas, ¡°Brother Ye, try this too.¡± Jesus, stir-fried watermelon with bananas, were you the cook? ¡°Okay, let¡¯s taste this banana.¡± Ye Haochuan picked up a piece of banana, but as soon as it touched his taste buds, his face froze, damn, so salty! Painfully salty! ¡°Brother Ye, how does it taste?¡± Su Yingxue asked, propping her chin in a cute and innocent manner. Having no choice, Ye Haochuan continued against his will, ¡°This banana tastes good, sweet with a hint of salt, absolutely unique!¡± With such a bizarre taste, it really was ¡®absolutely unique¡¯! Su Yingxue, oblivious to his real thoughts, happily said to Lin Qingxuan and Zhang Ziyi, ¡°See, Brother Ye said I did well too.¡± Finally, it was Lin Qingxuan¡¯s turn. ¡°Brother Ye, would you like to try my pineapple stir-fried with tofu?¡± Lin Qingxuan asked timidly, her eyes shyly avoiding his gaze. It must be said, this dish of pineapple stir-fried with tofu, although it was new to Ye Haochuan, looked quite appealing with its golden pineapples contrasted against the white tofu. With the lessons learned from the previous two samples, Ye Haochuan was more cautious this time. He picked up a piece of tofu, and his eyes lit up, this actually tastes good! ¡°Qingxuan, you really have some skills, Brother gives you a hundred thumbs up.¡± Ye Haochuan said as he grabbed another piece of tofu and devoured it hungrily. Lin Qingxuan, already bashful, blushed even more upon hearing this. Ye Haochuan, seeing her embarrassed and beautiful, was greatly tempted, as pretty shy girls were absolutely his type. However, remembering Dragon Roar¡¯s warning, he felt down, such a gem and yet he couldn¡¯t partake, what a pity. At that moment, Zhao Bingqian clamored, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s eat, this lady is so hungry I can barely stay on my feet.¡± Suddenly, all four girls picked up their chopsticks to start eating, but once they took a bite, their expressions instantly brightened! ¡°Oh my God, so sour!¡± ¡°Damn it, so salty!¡± ¡°Uncle, you cheat, you actually deceived me!¡± Chapter 41 - 41 41 Instant Cure ?41: Chapter 41: Instant Cure 41: Chapter 41: Instant Cure Meanwhile, in the Cangshan Villa District, inside the villa of Sun Yongsheng, the chairman of Yongsheng Group. Sun Yongsheng was somewhat caught off guard by the news of Ye Haochuan¡¯s sudden release from the police station. What surprised him even more was that Huang Kaiseng, the bodyguard he had bribed, had ended up in jail. Trusting his instincts, Sun Yongsheng was convinced that Ye Haochuan, the man who had killed the ¡°Expert¡± Fang Ba whom he had hired, was definitely not just a simple school doctor. The door was pushed open. It was his son, Sun Zhe, who walked in. ¡°Azhe, how is your injury?¡± Sun Zhe had been injured by Fang Ba¡¯s Qigong, and as his father, Sun Yongsheng was long aware of it, though he deeply resented Fang Ba, but since Fang Ba was dead, it was useless to hold a grudge. Therefore, he had particularly paid a fine of two thousand and used his lawyers¡¯ connections to get his son bailed out from the police station. Sun Zhe nodded, ¡°Dad, it¡¯s better now¡­ By the way, did you want to see me for something?¡± Sun Yongsheng then spoke about Ye Haochuan being released by the police. ¡°What, Ye Haochuan, that murderer, was actually released by the police? Is there some mistake?¡± Sun Zhe couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Sun Yongsheng¡¯s face also looked a bit unsightly, then he mentioned how he had his subordinate bribe Huang Kaiseng to teach Ye Haochuan a lesson, but instead, Huang Kaiseng ended up in custody and even confessed everything. Sun Zhe clenched his teeth, the situation had developed to such an unexpected stage. ¡°Azhe, this Ye Haochuan, he probably isn¡¯t simple; it would be wise to avoid provoking him in the future. Even a master like Fang Ba was killed by him on a whim without bearing any consequences. If he wanted to kill you, it would be all too easy,¡± Sun Yongsheng said gravely. ¡°But what if he comes to retaliate against us?¡± Sun Zhe said in a deep voice. His worry was not unreasonable. This time he had brought Fang Ba to settle scores with Ye Haochuan, which had led to Ye Haochuan¡¯s detention in the police station; it would be odd if Ye Haochuan wasn¡¯t angry and seeking revenge against him. Sun Yongsheng spoke sternly. ¡°A mysterious force?¡± Sun Zhe was startled. Sun Yongsheng nodded, ¡°Yes, this mysterious force is extremely powerful, powerful beyond our imagination. The reason Ye Haochuan was released so quickly after killing someone is precisely because of the operations of this mysterious force.¡± Sun Zhe suddenly realized, ¡°I was wondering how Ye Haochuan could have such capabilities, so that¡¯s what it was.¡± ¡°However, I had someone investigate that Ye Haochuan, and he is merely a graduate from Medical University. His coming to Haishan was to win back his ex-girlfriend, and yet he was ruthlessly dumped because she thought he was too poor¡­¡± ¡°Thought he was poor?¡± Sun Zhe listened and was speechless, ¡°Ye Haochuan stole three hundred thousand from me, and he¡¯s still considered poor? His ex-girlfriend is really damn stupid¡­ Eh!¡± Sun Yongsheng found it strange, looked at his son and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Dad, it¡¯s nothing, nothing¡­¡± Sun Zhe shook his head. Actually, a thought had suddenly crossed his mind, Ye Haochuan was too formidable, he couldn¡¯t confront him openly, but maybe he could strike at him covertly? Since his ex-girlfriend broke up with him over money, maybe he should play a trick on his ex-girlfriend and deeply humiliate him? ¡°Azhe, I¡¯ll say this one more time, during this period, don¡¯t provoke Ye Haochuan. Otherwise, if something happens, I might not be able to protect you, understand?¡± Sun Yongsheng¡¯s tone grew stern. ¡°Dad, what if he comes after me? Am I supposed to just take it and let him bully me?¡± Sun Zhe said defiantly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, endure his momentary anger, and step back to see the vast sky. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He has his backers, does our Sun Family not have any? I¡¯ve already sent someone to contact Fang Ba¡¯s brothers, and if things go smoothly, they will be here in as short as ten days or up to a month, and then, huh¡­¡± A sinister smile appeared on Sun Yongsheng¡¯s face. Seeing his father¡¯s expression, Sun Zhe cheered up instantly, ¡°Dad, did you already have plans in place?¡± ¡°Of course, if Ye Haochuan dares to oppose you, he is opposing me, your father. How could I not regain your honor in Haishan?¡± Sun Zhe gave a thumbs up, laughing, ¡°Dad, that¡¯s incredibly badass! Thumbs up!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± The father and son laughed together, the air thick with the scent of conspiracy. ¡­ The next morning, Ye Haochuan was sleeping soundly when suddenly a knocking sound woke him up. ¡°Uncle, wake up, wake up, Yingxue is feeling unwell¡­¡± Ye Haochuan hastily jumped out of bed and opened the door, only to see Zhao Bingqian, Lin Qingxuan, and Zhang Ziyi, all standing at the door in their light nightgowns, looking anxious. Ye Haochuan glanced at the three women, and a flicker in the corner of his eye swept over them, suddenly his eyelid twitched. ¡°I don¡¯t know, she¡¯s been rolling in bed continuously,¡± Zhao Bingqian said. Ye Haochuan quickly ran to Su Yingxue¡¯s bedroom; the door was open, but the girl was tossing and turning in bed, moaning softly, her face pale as if she was enduring great pain. After feeling her pulse, Ye Haochuan had an idea, ¡°Yingxue¡¯s period started, but it¡¯s a bit severe.¡± Hearing this, Zhao Bingqian, Zhang Ziyi, and Lin Qingxuan all started to get nervous. ¡°What should we do?¡± Zhao Bingqian asked anxiously. ¡°It¡¯s fine, with me here, relief is at hand!¡­ Yingxue, lie down flat, Brother is going to alleviate your pain now.¡± Seeing Su Yingxue nod with difficulty, Ye Haochuan then rolled up his sleeves and suddenly pulled back Su Yingxue¡¯s thin blanket. Immediately, the scenic view of her undulating landscape appeared before his eyes. Su Yingxue immediately snapped out of her pain temporarily, her face flushing red, ¡°Brother Ye really must be kidding, not even a warning before pulling away the blanket? How embarrassing!¡± The three other women, especially Zhao Bingqian, glared at Ye Haochuan with eyes wide, a look of deep resentment on their faces. Ye Haochuan enjoyed the view and cheekily pretended to be serious, ¡°Hey, don¡¯t look at me so strangely, folks, I¡¯m a doctor, in my eyes, all the beauty is just bones in the grave¡­¡± ¡°Bones in the grave my foot, hurry up and see to Yingxue,¡± Zhao Bingqian snapped at him angrily. Chapter 42 - 42 42 Body-Strengthening Pill ?42: Chapter 42 Body-Strengthening Pill 42: Chapter 42 Body-Strengthening Pill Ye Haochuan made a show of gritting his teeth and grimacing before placing his palms on the smooth abdomen of Su Yingxue. It was the first time a man had placed his hands on her lower belly, and Su Yingxue was incredibly embarrassed, but the pain was so intense that she had to endure it. However, she soon felt a warm sensation from his palms and slowly felt it spreading from her abdomen into her body. Though it made her feel a mix of numbness and ticklishness, the intense pain caused Su Yingxue to involuntarily twist and wriggle. Zhao Bingqian, Lin Qingxuan, and Zhang Ziyi beside them blushed and turned red at the sound, finding it embarrassingly intimate. To make matters worse, Ye Haochuan was adding insult to injury. ¡°Hey, beauty Yingxue, can you act with a bit more decorum? I am a virile young man, you know. With you moaning and whimpering like this, aren¡¯t you making it tough for a big guy like me?¡± While transferring the Longevity True Qi, Ye Haochuan teased her. ¡°You¡­¡± Su Yingxue, flushed with embarrassment, turned her head away and dared not to answer. Zhao Bingqian spoke angrily from the side, ¡°Uncle, you crow¡¯s-mouth, are you doing this on purpose?¡± ¡°Bingqian, you have to be fair in what you say. Even if I wanted to do it on purpose, I can¡¯t control beauty Yingxue¡¯s mouth. If she needs to cry out, how could I stop her?¡± Ye Haochuan said with an innocent face. ¡°Brother Ye, please, no more talking, just finish the treatment, I¡­ I really can¡¯t take it anymore,¡± Su Yingxue turned back, her face burning as she pleaded. ¡°You¡¯ll have to endure a bit longer. Your cervical canal is congenitally narrow, which impedes menstrual flow, causing dysmenorrhea. I need to unblock it, and afterward, you should feel less pain.¡± Ye Haochuan said seriously, the awkward terminology rolling off his tongue as easily as drinking water. Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue¡¯s face turned even redder, but she continued to grit her teeth and bear it. Three minutes later, Ye Haochuan finally stopped. ¡°Alright, beauty Yingxue, the dysmenorrhea shouldn¡¯t be as painful for you in the future. However, you have a deficiency in energy and blood. I¡¯ll prepare some Angelica Astragalus Wine for you later. It will help enrich your qi, nourish your blood, and regulate your menstruation.¡± ¡°Brother Ye, thank you,¡± Su Yingxue said gratefully. However, her face remained flushed, and she seemed reluctant to look into his eyes. ¡°Haha, what¡¯s there to thank me for? I¡¯m here to rescue our female compatriots from suffering. Even if you drained me dry, I wouldn¡¯t shirk the responsibility.¡± The four girls felt dizzy upon hearing that. Drained him dry? Why does that sound so strange? Noticing the weird looks from the four women, Ye Haochuan gave a hearty laugh and headed to the kitchen, where he took Angelica root, Astragalus root, and red dates to begin making the Angelica Astragalus Wine. As a successor to the Holy Hand, he didn¡¯t need any electronic scales; he could weigh them just by feel, which was quite impressive. Next, he sliced the Astragalus and Angelica roots, placed them in a cheesecloth bag along with the red dates, dropped them into a container for holding wine bought from a Chinese herbal medicine shop, added liquor, sealed the container, and placed it into the Copper Furnace. Then, he channeled the Longevity True Qi into the Copper Furnace, which, energized, started to glow red-hot. Ten minutes passed, and the Angelica Astragalus Wine was successfully brewed. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Haha, the Angelica Astragalus Wine is ready,¡± he announced. At this moment, Zhao Bingqian, Zhang Ziyi, and Lin Qingxuan, who had been watching from the kitchen doorway, walked in. ¡°Uncle, is it ready so soon?¡± Zhao Bingqian asked with interest. Ye Haochuan nodded and smiled, ¡°The Angelica Astragalus Wine is prepared, but its efficacy is still average. I need to add some extra ingredients.¡± With that, he located the Body-Strengthening Pills he had snatched from Fang Ba and poured them into the Copper Furnace to undergo Refinement once more, particularly to eliminate the explosively potent components of the medicine, retaining only the milder ones. The three girls watched him fiddle around, completely baffled. Three minutes later, Ye Haochuan took out the re-refined Body-Strengthening Pills, which he divided into dozens of pieces. However, these were visibly smaller than before, indistinguishable from a piece of Trident gum. But by removing the dross and retaining the essence, the Body-Strengthening Pills were purer and free of side effects. ¡°Come on, everyone try one. These Body-Strengthening Pills¡­ oh no, I mean Body-Strengthening Pills, are great stuff. Not only do they enhance your physique, they also nourish yin and yang, beautify your skin, and what¡¯s more, they prevent sagging.¡± To distinguish them from the previous pills with too many side effects, Ye Haochuan thought it was most suitable to call the re-refined pills ¡°Body-Strengthening Pills.¡± What¡¯s this about preventing sagging, that sounds so crude? Upon hearing his words, the three women blushed and became bashful. Looking at the small and unsightly pills, which were crude and extremely ugly, they all thought they seemed unhygienic and even a bit creepy. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You don¡¯t want them?¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly shook his head and grinned, saying, ¡°That¡¯s right, each of you is quite ample; you don¡¯t need these kinds of things.¡± Zhao Bingqian and the other girls blushed even more at this, but Zhao Bingqian clenched her fists and angrily said, ¡°Old man, keep running your mouth like that, and see if I don¡¯t burst your balls?¡± Whoa, this Little Sprite is too violent! I can¡¯t afford to provoke her! Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Bingqian beauty, how am I talking nonsense? Do you know how many people will want to get their hands on these miraculous Body-Strengthening Pills from me in the future? I might not even be willing to give them out!¡± ¡°Who¡¯d want them? I certainly don¡¯t!¡± Zhao Bingqian pouted. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want any. I won¡¯t force you,¡± Ye Haochuan said and then smiled at Lin Qingxuan and Zhang Ziyi, ¡°Here, one for each of you.¡± Zhang Ziyi hesitated a bit, clearly finding it difficult to accept such ugly pills, while Lin Qingxuan took one without hesitation. ¡°Haha, Qingxuan beauty, I haven¡¯t spoiled you for nothing. Your body is a bit weak; now you can try this out and see the many benefits,¡± Ye Haochuan said with half-closed eyes and a smile. ¡°Really?¡± Lin Qingxuan hesitated, but finally swallowed one upon Ye Haochuan¡¯s encouragement. At first, she felt an immense coolness; soon after, as the pill¡¯s power began to spread, she felt a warm comfort throughout her body, indescribably relaxed and pleasant. Her previously somewhat sickly Essence Qi also underwent a substantial transformation. If before, her pale complexion and overall fragile beauty gave her an unhealthy allure, she now glowed with rosiness, her skin like creamy gelatin, her whole being radiating a liveliness, like the most exquisite fairy of the mortal realm. What girl doesn¡¯t pursue beauty? Seeing the dramatic change in Lin Qingxuan, Zhao Bingqian and Zhang Ziyi were stunned and pleaded with Ye Haochuan to give them some. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t want any just now?¡± Ye Haochuan deliberately teased. Zhao Bingqian: ¡°Uncle, I want some, please give me some!¡± Zhang Ziyi: ¡°Brother Ye, please, I want some too.¡± Ye Haochuan broke into a sweat. What¡¯s with this thirst? Such high-difficulty tricks like a threesome, I can¡¯t handle it. Seeing Ye Haochuan showing no signs of relenting, the two girls pulled out all the stops, Zhao Bingqian even wrapping her arms around his, and after stirring up his desires, he finally agreed to give each one of them a pill. The two girls swallowed their pills eagerly, and immediately their bodies underwent delightful changes, each of them thrilled with joy. ¡°Uncle, giving us just one each is stingy, give me some more, please. I won¡¯t ask for much, just ten will be enough,¡± Zhao Bingqian said, trying her utmost to charm him. ¡°Ten? Wishful thinking! If I give you ten, then I have to give them ten each too; wouldn¡¯t that dry me up?¡± Ye Haochuan was flabbergasted. ¡°Then five, please. Uncle, don¡¯t be so miserly.¡± Zhao Bingqian continued to cling to his arm and coo, sending waves through his heart. Chapter 43 - 43 43 Daughter-in-law ?43: Chapter 43 Daughter-in-law 43: Chapter 43 Daughter-in-law This little sprite, does she really intend to dry me up? Feeling waves of ecstasy shooting up his arm, Ye Haochuan¡¯s mind started to wander. He put on a smile and teased, ¡°It¡¯s not that I won¡¯t give it to you, but these pills are extraordinary. I was planning on saving them for my future wife. If I give them to you, what will I do about my wife then?¡± This big pervert! He¡¯s doing it on purpose! Zhao Bingqian could clearly see his sly intentions and, rolling her eyes, she giggled, ¡°If it comes to that, I¡¯ll just become your wife, Uncle. Just give me some more then.¡± Ye Haochuan almost had a nosebleed. Was this little sprite serious or just joking? As Zhao Bingqian spoke without any filter, Lin Qingxuan and Zhang Ziyi stared in shock while also finding it a bit amusing. ¡°Ahem ahem¡­¡± Ye Haochuan touched his nose, ¡°The thing is, I¡¯m not into a barbaric girlfriend like you.¡± ¡°When have I been barbaric?¡± Zhao Bingqian put her hands on her hips and huffed, ¡°Uncle, you should have some conscience when you speak. I¡¯ve already agreed to be your wife, and yet you¡¯re still so stingy and unreliable. After all, I gave up my room for you, and this is how you treat me? I¡¯m done with you.¡± Having said that, Zhao Bingqian shook Ye Haochuan¡¯s arm off and turned to leave. This little sprite, so quick to throw a tantrum, is really hard to deal with! Ye Haochuan was caught between laughter and tears. Considering that if he really upset her, it might become difficult for him to keep living in her boudoir, he had no choice but to surrender with his hands up, saying, ¡°Alright, alright, you win. I¡¯ll give you five¡­¡± ¡°No way, ten!¡± Zhao Bingqing immediately spun around, pouting her lips with a pushy attitude. ¡°Five!¡± ¡°Ten!¡± ¡°Seven!¡± ¡°Nope, ten!¡± ¡°Sigh, fine, fine, you¡¯ve broken me. Ten, take them!¡± Having secured ten Body-Strengthening Pills, Zhao Bingqian cheered immediately, while Lin Qingxuan and Zhang Ziyi watched with great envy. Zhang Ziyi could not hold back and was about to ask for some, when Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°If you want Body-Strengthening Pills, you need to be prepared to be my wife first¡­¡± Zhang Ziyi blushed deeply, ¡°Brother Ye, you¡¯re so bad. If you won¡¯t give them to me, forget it. I¡¯ll ask Qianqian for them, hmph.¡± With that, she ran off like a whirlwind. Lin Qingxuan was left alone, shy and unsure, staying in place. ¡°Qingxuan, what about you? Don¡¯t you want to consider being my wife? I¡¯ll give you twenty Body-Strengthening Pills¡­¡± Ye Haochuan winked at her, tempting her. Lin Qingxuan, already with a thin skin, couldn¡¯t handle his flirtation and ran off without saying a word, her face reddened. Ye Haochuan laughed heartily. Living in the same room with such enchanting ladies made life truly beautiful! He added three Body-Strengthening Pills to the Angelica Astragalus Wine, and in no time, the pills dissolved and vanished without a trace. When he entered Su Yingxue¡¯s room, the four girls were chatting excitedly about the effects of the Body-Strengthening Pills. Ye Haochuan noticed that Su Yingxue¡¯s complexion looked a lot better. Clearly, she too had taken one of the pills. However, the Body-Strengthening Pills merely provided physical health benefits. To truly cure Su Yingxue¡¯s ailment, he¡¯d need the Angelica Astragalus Wine. As he walked in, all four girls turned their eyes to him in unison. Zhao Bingqian cheekily said, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re here?¡± Hubby? Had this little sprite taken the wrong medicine? Ye Haochuan felt a tingle in his scalp, ¡°Hubby? You¡¯re not calling me Uncle anymore?¡± Zhang Ziyi, Su Yingxue, and Lin Qingxuan all covered their mouths and laughed, looking at him with interest. ¡°You asked me to be your wife, didn¡¯t you? A girl¡¯s got to keep her word,¡± Zhao Bingqian giggled. ¡°Alright, then. Remember to warm the bed for your husband tonight and then we can start our baby-making mission,¡± Ye Haochuan teased. ¡°Dream on!¡± Zhao Bingqian spat at him, ¡°You just get a few calls of ¡®husband¡¯ and you¡¯re suddenly too cocky to remember your own name?¡± ¡°Damn, I would¡¯ve never given you those ten Body-Strengthening Pills if I had known,¡± Ye Haochuan said in frustration, finding this cheap husband role totally lackluster. Seeing his glum face, Zhang Ziyi, Su Yingxue, and Lin Qingxuan chuckled knowingly. Disappointed, Ye Haochuan composed himself, placed the Angelica Astragalus Wine on the bedside table next to Su Yingxue¡¯s bed, and reminded, ¡°Yingxue, this Angelica Astragalus Wine is very beneficial for easing your menstrual pain. Start drinking it five days before your period, twice a day, a small cup each time, for a week-long course¡­¡± Su Yingxue took it to heart and then expressed her thanks. At that moment, Zhao Bingqian and the other two women also asked if they could drink this Angelica Astragalus Wine. Ye Haochuan had just said ¡°Yes¡± when his cellphone rang; the caller ID showed it was President Li Tianwei from Tianwei Group. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Signaling to the four women that he needed to take the call, Ye Haochuan stepped out of the bedroom. After pressing the answer button, Ye Haochuan spoke, ¡°President Li, hello, what can I do for you?¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s like this, Junior Brother Ye, do you have any free time at lunch? My family would like to invite you to a banquet at Shihao Grand Hotel, as a token of our gratitude for the other day when you saved Wenfeng,¡± Li Tianwei said with a chuckle. Ye Haochuan replied, ¡°President Li, there¡¯s really no need for thanks. Saving lives is a doctor¡¯s duty.¡± ¡°No, no, no, it¡¯s a must. My wife and I were impolite before and we must apologize to you in person. Besides, that young fellow Wenfeng and his brother Lei Yiming also want to catch up with you again¡­¡± Hearing his insistent tone, Ye Haochuan felt it would be rather cold to refuse any further, so he agreed to go. After hanging up, Ye Haochuan told the others about his plan to go to the banquet. ¡°Go on, go on, uncle, since Qingxuan¡¯s condition is stable for now and she won¡¯t be needing you,¡± Zhao Bingqian said nonchalantly. Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly; just now she was calling him husband, and now she had switched to uncle ¡ª how quickly things change. ¡°Oh, by the way, uncle, can you drive?¡± Zhao Bingqian suddenly asked. Ye Haochuan nodded. In fact, he couldn¡¯t drive and never had a license before, but after inheriting Holy Hand¡¯s memories, he had learned how to drive. ¡°Well then, uncle, don¡¯t say this young lady is heartless. Here, take the car keys. I¡¯ll lend you my BMW for the day as payback for those ten Body-Strengthening Pills you gave me just now, how¡¯s that?¡± Well, he might have lost a wife but at least he borrowed a BMW, which he could show off a bit. Ye Haochuan nodded, ¡°Sure.¡± Without further ado, he took the car keys. After breakfast with the four women, and wanting to try out the feeling of driving a luxury car, Ye Haochuan hurried down from his dormitory building and went to the parking lot. The BMW was an automatic, which made operating it even more foolproof. He pressed the brake, started the engine, and lightly stepped on the accelerator. Under the astonished gazes of students and staff passing by dormitory seven, the BMW slowly drove away from the dormitory, winding its way through the campus before merging into the stream of traffic on the road outside. At half-past eleven, he arrived at Shihao Grand Hotel and drove the BMW into the parking lot. The concierge at the hotel entrance rushed to open the car door upon seeing the luxury vehicle, initially thinking a rich young lady had arrived. However, when they saw a man in plain clothes step out, they were caught off guard. Could this guy have stolen the BMW? The concierge became suspicious. Chapter 44 - 44 44 Ex-Girlfriend ?44: Chapter 44 Ex-Girlfriend 44: Chapter 44 Ex-Girlfriend It seemed that Ye Haochuan could read the waiter¡¯s mind, causing a surge of discomfort within him. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Damn it, what¡¯s with that look? Is it just because my clothes are a bit shabby? Not bothering to say much, he directly pulled out a stack of RMB from his wallet and picked out five bills, considering it a tip. The waiter was ecstatic, five hundred bucks! That was more than his daily wage, so immediately his attitude took a complete turn. He just treated Ye Haochuan as one of those guys who liked to act rich, and with a smile, ushered him into the hotel. The whole hotel was three stories high, with a European style, and opulently decorated. Even the sedans in the parking lot were either BMWs, Audis, or Mercedes, and among them, quite a number of supercars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis. It was evident that the clientele were from high society; it¡¯d be strange for ordinary people to come here. So, it was no wonder that the waiter was astonished by Ye Haochuan¡¯s simple attire the moment he saw him. ¡°Eh, Ye Haochuan, what are you doing here?¡± Just as Ye Haochuan was about to step into the hotel¡¯s entrance, a girl¡¯s voice suddenly called out from behind him. Turning his head to look, Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly. This world is really damn small; it was his ex-girlfriend, He Yun. He Yun at the moment was heavily made up, her face painted like a ghost. Her flashy attire, especially the black super-short bandage-skirt, though sexy as hell, gave off more of a mistress vibe. Her scent was overpowering, enough to be off-putting. Next to He Yun, there was a man in his twenties, whom she was holding onto. The man sported a buzz cut and a face full of meat, ugly as sin. With a thick gold chain on his chest, no matter how one looked at it, it screamed newly rich. Needless to say, this man was He Yun¡¯s new boyfriend. Honestly speaking, seeing He Yun¡¯s nouveau riche boyfriend caused a fire of indignation in Ye Haochuan. He Yun, this kind of gold-digger, was just a damn bitch; she would throw herself at anyone for money, not caring about what they were really like. Remembering the vow he had secretly made to take a harsh revenge, Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes narrowed. Now that he had turned his fortunes around, if he didn¡¯t reassert himself and take his revenge, wouldn¡¯t it be a disservice to Holy Hand¡¯s legacy? With this in mind, Ye Haochuan concealed his feelings and answered with a faint smile, ¡°Of course, I came to Shihao Grand Hotel for a banquet.¡± ¡°A banquet? You¡¯re saying you¡¯re here for a banquet? What a joke. You think someone as poor as you has any business coming here for a banquet?¡± He Yun said mockingly. Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, Damn it, so I¡¯m poor. Does that make you any less of a bitch? In that moment, he became even more determined to take brutal revenge on He Yun. ¡°Yun¡¯er, who is this piece of trash?¡± At this point, He Yun¡¯s new boyfriend spoke up, his tone arrogant. ¡°Brother Cheng, he is the ex-boyfriend I mentioned to you, Ye Haochuan,¡± said He Yun with a sneer, full of disdain. ¡°Ex-boyfriend?¡± Brother Cheng looked Ye Haochuan up and down with jealousy. Damn it, he¡¯s a pretty boy. He knew very well that he was ugly as sin and also quite uncouth, so he categorized all good-looking men as ¡°pretty boys.¡± His name was Yu Cheng. Originally a good-for-nothing, he was fortunate enough that his father, through connections, had hoarded a lot of land. Five years earlier, due to development projects in Haishan City, developers became interested in those lands; he struck it rich overnight and thus became a second-generation rich kid. This time he came to the Shihao Grand Hotel to attend a luncheon on behalf of his father, Yu Hai, with the CEO of the Tianwei Group, and to take the opportunity to butter up He Yun by showing her what the high society of the wealthy looked like. ¡°So, you¡¯re my girlfriend¡¯s ex-boyfriend, right? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you,¡± Yu Cheng said with a smile. Despite his words, he showed no intention of going forward to shake hands and meet. He Yun hummed triumphantly, ¡°Ye Haochuan, take a good look, my boyfriend Yu Cheng, he¡¯s a shareholder of this Shihao Grand Hotel, not some poor sod like you can compare with. It really shows how wise I was when I decided to break up with you.¡± In fact, He Yun didn¡¯t know that Yu Cheng didn¡¯t own any shares in the Shihao Grand Hotel at all; he had lied to her, and it was simply that his father had business dealings with the hotel. Looking at He Yun¡¯s disgusting gold-digger face, Ye Haochuan sneered in his heart and nodded lightly, ¡°So it¡¯s Young Master Yu, nice to meet you.¡± Yu Cheng nodded and said arrogantly, ¡°What, you just said you were here for the banquet? With those poor clothes of yours, you dare to attend a banquet in such a place? Are you sure you haven¡¯t walked into the wrong place?¡± ¡°Brother Cheng, you¡¯re actually spot on. With his poor look, someone who hates breaking a dollar bill in half, how could he possibly be invited to a banquet, let alone to a place like this? He must have wandered into the wrong place by mistake,¡± He Yun sneered. Ye Haochuan frowned, initially, he had just wanted to teach her a slight lesson, to make her regret, but she hadn¡¯t changed at all, and was as insulting as ever to her ex. Well, if you¡¯re so ungrateful, then I don¡¯t need to save your face anymore. Shaking his head, Ye Haochuan scoffed and said, ¡°He Yun, there¡¯s a saying that goes, part on good terms. Since we¡¯ve broken up, could you please stop spewing nonsense? Look at yourself just now, with your spiteful mouth. Don¡¯t you find it disgusting?¡± ¡°What?¡± He Yun¡¯s voice instantly rose an octave. ¡°I won¡¯t repeat myself,¡± snorted Ye Haochuan. He Yun¡¯s face turned ashen with rage, ¡°Ye Haochuan, I never expected you to be such a person. I wasted so much time with you, thinking about it now, I really shouldn¡¯t have.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s lips curled into a smug smile, ¡°As for me, a penniless guy with not a penny to my name, I got to sleep with you for free, and not just once but thirty times, it was so worth it!¡± ¡°Ye Haochuan, you¡­ you¡¯re talking nonsense,¡± He Yun¡¯s face changed. She knew her own affairs best. In order to satisfy her new boyfriend¡¯s Yu Cheng¡¯s obsession with virginity, she had concealed the fact that she had slept with her ex-boyfriend and had even secretly undergone a vaginal rejuvenation surgery. She had not expected Ye Haochuan to bring it up right now. Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t be bothered with her and said to Yu Cheng with a sneering laugh, ¡°Young Master Yu, although you took my girlfriend, I¡¯ve been with your girlfriend, so I haven¡¯t lost out, right?¡± Seeing her new boyfriend¡¯s dark expression, He Yun hastened to say, ¡°Brother Cheng, please don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. I¡¯ve always been pure and self-disciplined, I really haven¡¯t slept with him, truly¡­ think about it, when we first checked into the hotel, didn¡¯t I bleed?¡± Only then Yu Cheng remembered, indeed, that had happened, and his suspicions abated somewhat. He turned to Ye Haochuan and said, ¡°F***ing pretty boy, for Yun¡¯er¡¯s sake, I won¡¯t stoop to your level today, but let me warn you, if you try to sow discord again, I¡¯ll break your f***ing three legs.¡± Ye Haochuan sneered, were there really such idiots in the world, thinking that bleeding meant she must be a virgin? Really f***ing moronic! ¡°Me, sow discord? Young Master Yu, you flatter me. With a woman like He Yun, do I even need to resort to such means? You don¡¯t believe me? Tell me, does she or does she not have a mole the size of a grain of rice on her left breast?¡± Yielding a sly grin, Ye Haochuan thought, He Yun, let¡¯s see how you handle this next move. Chapter 45 - 45 45 Creating Discord ?45: Chapter 45: Creating Discord 45: Chapter 45: Creating Discord When Ye Haochuan spoke these words, Yu Cheng¡¯s face stiffened. Ever since he started sleeping with He Yun, he had been extremely infatuated with her barely graspable beautiful breasts¡ªhow could he not know about the mole there? ¡°Bitch, you better explain yourself clearly!¡± Yu Cheng glared at He Yun like a venomous snake. He Yun was also becoming anxious and said, ¡°Brother Cheng, haven¡¯t I told you before? He¡¯s a bit of a pervert. In the past, he always loved to grope breasts and take advantage of others. What¡¯s so strange about him knowing this?¡± Yu Cheng¡¯s expression eased slightly. Ye Haochuan laughed loudly, ¡°That¡¯s right, in the past, I loved to take advantage of her. When we slept together, I fucked her in the ass and even took advantage of her by popping her cherry a few times when she wasn¡¯t aware¡­¡± The relief on Yu Cheng¡¯s face immediately turned dark and cloudy again, damn it, even her ass had been taken, and I haven¡¯t even had a taste yet. He Yun was so furious she felt like her lungs would explode, ¡°Slander, Ye Haochuan, you¡¯re nothing but slandering! You simply can¡¯t stand to see me doing well now and are deliberately striking back at me! Brother Cheng, don¡¯t fall for his trap, he¡¯s just scum!¡± ¡°Slander?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed out loud again, ¡°Young Master Yu, I ask you, does she have a butterfly tattoo on her pussy or not?¡± Yu Cheng¡¯s face turned pale. When he was fucking He Yun, seeing that butterfly tattoo greatly aroused him; he had no idea it was a mark made by her ex-boyfriend. Damn, isn¡¯t this ironic! Yu Cheng instantly felt as if his head was covered in green, and slapped He Yun across the face, ¡°Whore! How dare you deceive me!¡± That slap resounded loudly, and Ye Haochuan, seeing this, felt thrilled deep inside, even more satisfying than if he had slapped He Yun himself! He Yun covered her burning cheek and cried out, ¡°Brother Cheng, it¡¯s a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding! That bastard Ye Haochuan, where would he get a tattoo, it was all done in a tattoo shop, don¡¯t believe me? Let¡¯s go to the tattoo shop and confront that female manager?¡± Yu Cheng looked at He Yun intently, feeling that she didn¡¯t seem to be lying. Ye Haochuan sneered coldly, damn it, if I don¡¯t break you two apart today, I swear I¡¯m not human! ¡°Young Master Yu, of course, I wasn¡¯t the one who tattooed her personally, but Young Master Yu, since I know about the butterfly tattoo on her pussy, doesn¡¯t this prove that I¡¯ve been in bed with her?¡± Ye Haochuan continued to fan the flames with a sinister chuckle. Suddenly awakening to the reality, Yu Cheng cursed at He Yun, ¡°Whore, still daring to lie to me? If you hadn¡¯t slept with him, how would he know about the butterfly tattoo on your pussy? Fuck, you whore¡­¡± As he spoke, Yu Cheng slapped her again. After receiving another slap, He Yun¡¯s face swelled, and tears streamed down her face; her heavily made-up face was now smeared, looking even more ghost-like. Needless to say, Ye Haochuan was practically overjoyed inside, damn it, serves you right for being so materialistic! ¡°Brother Cheng, you have to believe me, although I slept with him, I always slept separately and never let him touch me, otherwise how could there be any blood when we make love? Brother Cheng, you must believe me¡­¡± While sobbing, He Yun intentionally rubbed her chest against his arm, doing her utmost to ingratiate herself. Indeed, Yu Cheng was stirred up, after all, he was a promiscuous wealthy second-generation, used to changing girlfriends as often as clothes. Although He Yun had some looks, she wasn¡¯t the top choice. In his eyes, He Yun was just an object, a good bed partner who had many postures and was willing to try new things. He still wasn¡¯t done playing, so naturally, he was a bit reluctant to give up too soon. Of course, He Yun, now utterly filthy, had greatly depreciated in his eyes. After pondering for a while, Yu Cheng then said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll trust you this time.¡± Ye Haochuan was dumbstruck, damn, was this Yu Hao an idiot? He dared to believe the lies of a slut like He Yun? S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There, seeing her boyfriend believed her, He Yun immediately beamed with joy and leaned in to kiss him, ¡°Brother Cheng is the best.¡± Yu Cheng gently pinched her waist and said with a lewd smile, ¡°Then you¡¯d better listen to me when I want to mess with you later.¡± He Yun cooed seductively, ¡°Alright, Brother Cheng, I¡¯m all yours, always yours, however you want me, that¡¯s how I¡¯ll be.¡± This sultry vixen, Yu Cheng felt a fiery passion in his heart, and he almost wished he could strip her naked right then and there for a public ¡°exposure.¡± Although the two were speaking in hushed tones, not everyone nearby might hear them, but after practicing the Longevity Technique, Ye Haochuan¡¯s hearing had improved manifold, and hearing this, he was utterly speechless and felt incredibly disgusted. However, he also understood that this fool Yu Cheng hadn¡¯t grown tired of playing with the slut He Yun, and that was why he was acting this way. Thinking this, Ye Haochuan felt somewhat regretful that he hadn¡¯t been able to break up this pair of scum on the spot. However, it could be anticipated that the slut He Yun would soon be harshly dumped, and by that time¡­ heh, he was really looking forward to that scene! Having almost fallen out with her boyfriend, He Yun couldn¡¯t hate him more and after giving him a glare, fearing he would reveal more of her secrets, she hurriedly said, ¡°Brother Cheng, let¡¯s go inside, what kind of place is this? Arguing with such a scumbag is beneath you, isn¡¯t it?¡± Yu Cheng snorted coldly, ¡°You¡¯re right, arguing with such a scumbag is only lowering my own status.¡± Having said that, he walked into the Shihao Grand Hotel with his arm around He Yun. Watching the pair of scum head to the Shihao Grand Hotel, Ye Haochuan shook his head and followed them toward the hotel entrance. Hearing the footsteps behind her, He Yun turned her head to see Ye Haochuan coming in and immediately complained coquettishly, ¡°Brother Cheng, that pauper is following us again. Aren¡¯t you a shareholder of this Shihao Grand Hotel? Can¡¯t you have someone kick him out?¡± Yu Cheng furrowed his brows, in fact, he was already disgusted by the pretty-boy Ye Haochuan and would have told Ye Haochuan to get lost without He Yun needing to say anything. ¡°Security, come over!¡± Yu Cheng waved at a security guard at the entrance. The security guard, who was perceptive, quickly approached after seeing Yu Cheng¡¯s style and knew he was someone of substantial wealth. ¡°Boss, what can I do for you?¡± the security guard asked obsequiously. The title ¡°boss¡± made Yu Cheng feel a few ounces lighter. ¡°This Shihao Grand Hotel has really lost its class, hasn¡¯t it? Letting in any riffraff? Get him out, and quickly,¡± Yu Cheng pointed at Ye Haochuan and commanded arrogantly. The security guard immediately looked troubled, thinking that guests were guests, regardless of wealth; could he just expel someone because he said so? ¡°Boss, isn¡¯t it inappropriate?¡± ¡°What¡¯s inappropriate? What sort of place is this Shihao Grand Hotel? Does this guy look like he belongs in such a high-end, classy establishment?¡± The security guard wanted to argue further, but Yu Cheng waved his hand, suddenly producing a card: ¡°Open your eyes wider, what is this?¡± Chapter 46 - 46 46 The Snobbish Manager Zhen ?46: Chapter 46: The Snobbish Manager Zhen 46: Chapter 46: The Snobbish Manager Zhen The security guard¡¯s eyes widened instantly upon seeing the card, it was a Platinum Card issued by Shihao Grand Hotel to its VIP guests! What did the Platinum Card mean? It signified the holder¡¯s identity and status! It meant that the holder enjoyed a series of privileges at Shihao Grand Hotel! You should know, the hotel¡¯s Platinum Cards were not common like those VIP Cards. They were rare, and their holders were few, yet every holder was a prominent figure, as well as a major client of the hotel, spending at least a few million each year. They were not to be offended. ¡°What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get this poor guy out of here! If you don¡¯t do it, do you believe I¡¯ll complain to your manager?¡± Yu Cheng scolded. ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m on it.¡± The little security guard dared not offend anyone. Seeing the security guard scurrying off to handle the situation, He Yun felt much more balanced inside. The resentment that had built up due to Ye Haochuan¡¯s instigation had subsided some. She watched proudly as Ye Haochuan was embarrassed. At that moment, the security reached Ye Haochuan, blocked him, and said with a stern face, ¡°Is this a place for a poor soul like you? Get lost quickly!¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s face changed, and he smirked, ¡°Alright! A mere security guard is now denying me entry.¡± The security guard was startled for a moment and seeing his demeanor and gaze, suddenly felt a bit intimidated, thinking to himself that this guy might be some rich young master deliberately dressed like this to show off. ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± At this moment, a person looking like a manager in neat attire approached. ¡°Manager Zhen, this person wants to enter our hotel, but he has offended our Platinum guests¡­¡± the security guard said as he pointed at Yu Cheng and He Yun. Upon hearing they were Platinum guests, Manager Zhen hesitated a moment. Then, recognizing the affluent young Yu Cheng, he immediately nodded and bowed with a smile plastered on his face, ¡°It turns out to be Young Master Yu gracing us with your presence, what an honor, what an honor.¡± Yu Cheng often brought his girlfriends to patronize the hotel, taking care of the hotel¡¯s business, enjoying the services of a Platinum Card. How could the hotel manager not recognize him? However, looking at He Yun, extravagantly dolled up beside Yu Cheng, Manager Zhen inwardly shook his head. Compared to the girlfriends Young Master Yu had brought before, this woman had a face full of need, and if it weren¡¯t for her bombshell figure, front protruded and back arched, she likely would have been dumped by Young Master Yu by now. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ludicrously, at this moment, He Yun, seeing her boyfriend so respected by the hotel manager, gloated and commanded, ¡°Manager Zhen, right? Hurry up and kick this Ye Haochuan out. Look at him; a poor soul like him, having money to eat here, that¡¯d be the day!¡± Seeing her arrogant attitude, Manager Zhen felt incredibly irritated inside, thinking, ¡°Damn it, who does she think she is? If it weren¡¯t for Young Master Yu¡¯s influence, you¡¯d be nothing but a tease!¡± However, as frustrated as he was, Manager Zhen dared not show it; after all, one must watch the master before hitting a dog. ¡°Are you sure he, Ye Haochuan, is just a poor soul?¡± Manager Zhen asked. Being able to hold the position of a manager, Manager Zhen naturally had his capabilities. He certainly couldn¡¯t just drive someone away without confirming Ye Haochuan¡¯s details first. You should know, nowadays, many rich second-generation young masters loved to show off, pretending to be less affluent than they were. What if this guy was a wealthy second-generation deliberately dressed down? ¡°Is that even a question?¡± He Yun sneered with disdain, ¡°This Ye Haochuan is an orphan, without money or background, poor as can be. How could he possibly afford to come to such a luxurious, high-end place?¡± No money, no background? That¡¯s easy to deal with! Manager Zhen nodded and then stepped forward to stop Ye Haochuan, saying, ¡°Hey, young man, do you know where you are?¡± Ye Haochuan had already figured out that Manager Zhen was in cahoots with Yu Cheng and He Yun. He didn¡¯t lose his temper but chuckled instead, ¡°Of course, isn¡¯t this the Shihao Grand Hotel? The prime spot for the richest socialites of Haishan City?¡± ¡°Good, you know, so why don¡¯t you scram? You, a poor sap, coming to our hotel, do you think that makes sense?¡± Manager Zhen said. ¡°Scram?¡± Ye Haochuan sneered, ¡°I never expected, I, Ye Haochuan, was invited to attend President Li¡¯s luncheon, and before even attending the banquet, I¡¯m already being lectured by you, Manager Zhen.¡± ¡°President Li?¡± Manager Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling. Today, the CEO of Tianwei Group, Li Tianwei, was hosting a banquet at the hotel, inviting many notable public figures. Could this unremarkable-looking Ye Haochuan be one of President Li¡¯s invited guests? However, since President Li had invited many guests today, Manager Zhen hadn¡¯t really paid much attention to Ye Haochuan and asked indifferently, ¡°Which President Li?¡± ¡°Which? Naturally, Tianwei Group¡¯s CEO Li Tianwei¡­¡± Before Ye Haochuan could finish speaking, Yu Cheng laughed coldly, ¡°What? The CEO of Tianwei Group, Li Tianwei? He invited you to a luncheon? Oh, give me a break! What makes you think President Li would invite you? That¡¯s absolutely ridiculous! ¡­Manager Zhen, hurry up and get him out. If he really is President Li¡¯s guest, I¡¯ll explain it to President Li myself, and I¡¯m sure President Li would give me some face.¡± ¡°Is that okay?¡± Manager Zhen was a bit troubled. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t it be? Let me tell you the truth, my father was also invited by President Li to attend the luncheon today. However, my father is too busy, so he sent me in his stead. Even if President Li doesn¡¯t give me face, he has to give my father some, right?¡± Yu Cheng said arrogantly. Manager Zhen of course knew Yu Hai, Yu Cheng¡¯s father, a well-known hotel supplier in Haishan City with a large business. After a long thought, Manager Zhen decided it wasn¡¯t worth offending a platinum customer like Yu Cheng. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, ¡°Ye Haochuan, right? Listen well, I don¡¯t care how you managed to get invited to President Li¡¯s luncheon, but with your poor sap clothing and appearance, you¡¯re not qualified to enter our hotel! Leave immediately, or else I¡¯ll have security kick you out.¡± Damn, this Manager Zhen really is a snob! Ye Haochuan was secretly furious, about to lose his temper on the spot, but then he had a better idea. ¡°Alright, very well, Manager Zhen, since you want to drive me away, I have no objections. However, when President Li asks later, you¡¯d better report to him truthfully that it was you who drove me away.¡± Manager Zhen carefully considered his words, suddenly realizing something was amiss, and just as he thought to keep him, Ye Haochuan abruptly turned and walked away. Manager Zhen had been working in this hotel for many years, knowing countless officials and dignitaries, and was a figure of some standing himself. Now being openly disrespected by Ye Haochuan, how could he stand it? ¡°Damn it, such a petty triumph¡­who knows what connection he used to latch onto a big shot like President Li, seeing how smug you are¡­ Oh, a BMW?¡± Turns out, Manager Zhen saw Ye Haochuan heading straight for a red BMW in the parking lot, then he opened the door and got inside. At the same time, He Yun also felt surprised, rubbing her eyes carefully: ¡°No way? Ye Haochuan, such a poor sap, when did he get a BMW?¡± Chapter 47 - 47 47 Only Recognize Clothes Not People ?47: Chapter 47 Only Recognize Clothes, Not People 47: Chapter 47 Only Recognize Clothes, Not People Yu Cheng glanced over disdainfully and scoffed, ¡°What¡¯s so special about that? He¡¯s probably hanging onto some rich woman¡¯s coattails. Just look at that BMW, it¡¯s red. What man would buy a red car? Shit, with his pretty boy looks, hooking up with a rich woman to secure a fast track to success is the only way he could turn things around¡­¡± Upon hearing these words, Manager Zhen and He Yun both found them reasonable. He Yun chuckled and said, ¡°Brother Cheng is spot on. Ye Haochuan, that jerk, surely couldn¡¯t stand seeing others getting along with you, Brother Cheng. So, he must have decided to hit back by clinging to a rich woman, what a lowlife!¡± However, she ignored the fact that while she was criticizing her ex-boyfriend, hadn¡¯t she herself clung to a wealthy scion, equally degrading herself? At that moment, Manager Zhen sneered, ¡°Imagine a grown man, becoming a gigolo for money. He really is despicable!¡± The three conspirators shared a knowing laugh. At that moment, inside the red BMW, Ye Haochuan was dialing Li Wenfeng¡¯s number. ¡°Brother Ye, where are you? We¡¯re all here at the hotel waiting for your grand appearance!¡± On the other end, Li Wenfeng said with a laugh. Ye Haochuan chuckled and replied, ¡°Young Master Feng, this luncheon is too fancy for me. I¡¯ve been kicked out by Shihao Grand Hotel¡¯s Manager Zhen. How can I make a grand appearance now?¡± ¡°What?¡± Li Wenfeng¡¯s voice suddenly rose, ¡°Brother Ye, what exactly happened?¡± Ye Haochuan playfully said, ¡°Young Master Feng, let¡¯s just forget it. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Manager Zhen is right. I, a poor fellow, don¡¯t deserve to enter such a high-end place like Shihao Grand Hotel¡­¡± ¡°Shit, did that damn Manager Zhen really say that? I¡¯ll fire him!¡± Li Wenfeng fumed, ¡°Brother Ye, just wait. I¡¯m coming down to pick you up. Don¡¯t leave, okay? We specifically arranged this thank-you banquet for you today. If you, the guest of honor, leave, what¡¯s the point of holding this banquet?¡± After hanging up, Ye Haochuan leaned back in his seat, a smile forming at the corners of his mouth. The real show was about to begin. Meanwhile, after Manager Zhen had chased away Ye Haochuan with the help of Yu Cheng and He Yun, he was leading the two to the banquet hall on the third floor. Just as the elevator doors opened, Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming emerged with four bodyguards. ¡°Young Master Feng, Young Master Ming, you¡¯ve come down?¡± As the biggest shareholder of Shihao Grand Hotel, Manager Zhen dared not show any negligence. Upon seeing Li Wenfeng, he hurriedly approached with a flattering smile. ¡°I¡¯ll fuck your mother! You son of a bitch¡ª¡± Without explanation, Li Wenfeng suddenly kicked Manager Zhen in the stomach. Manager Zhen cried out in pain and, unable to keep his balance, fell backwards onto the floor. Yu Cheng and He Yun were stunned, just like the nearby hotel staff who were gaping in disbelief. Poor Manager Zhen was completely bewildered, not understanding what he had done wrong, and said with a puzzled look, ¡°Young Master Feng, why did you kick me?¡± ¡°Why did I kick you?¡± Li Wenfeng yelled angrily, ¡°You still have the nerve to ask me why I kicked you? Shit, I¡¯ll kick you to death, you son of a bitch.¡± As he spoke, Li Wenfeng continued the beating with punches and kicks. Moreover, Lei Yiming also joined the fray, and together, they beat Manager Zhen until he looked like a battered pig, screaming in agony. After a while, Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming finally stopped. Lei Yiming pointed at Manager Zhen¡¯s nose and demanded, ¡°I¡¯m asking you, did you throw our Brother Ye out of the hotel, did you?¡± Manager Zhen, his face swollen and bruised, finally realized the gravity of the situation. Ye Haochuan was friends with these powerful young masters! ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Manager Zhen stammered. ¡°Fuck your mother¡¯s ghost, Li Wenfeng!¡± Li Wenfeng slapped Manager Zhen across the face and demanded, ¡°Talk fast, where the hell is my Brother Ye?¡± ¡°He might have left,¡± Manager Zhen stuttered, clutching his burning cheek timidly. ¡°Bullshit! He¡¯s still in the parking lot, got it?¡± Li Wenfeng grabbed Manager Zhen roughly, ¡°Move it! If you don¡¯t bring him back to me today, I¡¯ll chop you up!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Feng, I¡¯ll take you there right now¡­¡± Manager Zhen truly regretted his actions now. Having been a manager for so many years, he had seen all sorts of people, but why had he misjudged Ye Haochuan? Watching Manager Zhen limp as he led Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming to the parking lot outside, Yu Cheng¡¯s heart sank instantly. Shit, this was bad. Ye Haochuan was actually a brother of Young Master Feng; he¡¯d seriously offended someone now. Although he was a rich second-generation himself, he was nothing in the eyes of second-generation rich kids like Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming. What status did they have? And what was his? Compared to the likes of Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming, he was mere trash! He had come to the banquet for the exact reason that his dad, Yu Hai, had arranged for him to seize this opportunity to make connections with rich heirs like Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming, hoping to bring the Yu Family¡¯s business securely onto the fast track of the Li Family. However, he had never expected the situation to morph so dramatically. Ye Haochuan was actually acquainted with Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming! Moreover, from Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming¡¯s reactions, it seemed they valued Ye Haochuan a lot. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry out; if we¡¯re late, it¡¯ll spell big trouble!¡± Yu Cheng hurriedly pulled He Yun along, following behind Young Master Feng and the others. He Yun dared not refuse and dizzily followed behind. Soon, a large group of them arrived at the parking lot. And sure enough, Ye Haochuan¡¯s red BMW was still parked there. Ye Haochuan was leaning back in his seat, window rolled down, relaxedly enjoying the music from his car stereo. ¡°Brother Ye!¡± Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming rushed over. Ye Haochuan then opened his eyes, turned off the music, and drawled, ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± ¡°Brother Ye, sorry to keep you waiting,¡± Li Wenfeng said. Ye Haochuan nodded, glanced at the bruised and swollen Manager Zhen behind him, and thought smugly, fuck, not so arrogant now, are you? He hummed wryly, ¡°A body sharp and white as silver, not worth half a hair upon the scales, eyes placed upon his ass, he recognizes only clothes, not faces. Manager Zhen, know who I¡¯m speaking of?¡± Manager Zhen certainly understood what this mocking poem meant, his face streaming with sweat. Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming hardly needed to guess the meaning, barely holding back their laughter, thinking Brother Ye was truly unbeatable¡ªexcellent in medicine, strong in martial arts, and his tongue was sharper than a knife! Li Wenfeng kicked Manager Zhen and yelled, ¡°Motherfucker, you have a pig¡¯s brain or what? Go apologize to my Brother Ye already! You don¡¯t want your job anymore?¡± Manager Zhen hurried forward, nodding and bowing incessantly, ¡°Mr. Ye, I¡¯m sorry, I was blind. I hope Mr. Ye can be magnanimous and not hold this against me.¡± Chapter 48 - 48 48 You must pay back what you owe sooner or later if youre out in the world! ?48: Chapter 48: You must pay back what you owe sooner or later if you¡¯re out in the world! 48: Chapter 48: You must pay back what you owe sooner or later if you¡¯re out in the world! ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± Ye Haochuan hummed, then got out of the car and glared coldly at Manager Zhen, saying, ¡°Listen up, never judge a book by its cover, the depth of the sea is immeasurable. Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t know about that crap you were spewing behind my back. Hmph, saying what? That I¡¯m just some pretty boy who hooked up with a rich woman to snag this red BMW, right?¡± Manager Zhen¡¯s face immediately showed shock. No way, could he have heard them from such a distance? How could he know that Ye Haochuan was now in the Postnatal Early Stage, and his hearing had improved countless times over? At the same time, Yu Cheng and He Yun, who had followed close behind, also wore expressions of astonishment. ¡°Damn it, you motherf*****g son of a b***h, did you really say that just now?¡± Li Wenfeng blew his top at Manager Zhen again. Watching Young Master Feng¡¯s furious demeanor, Manager Zhen got a scare and thought about his bad luck, hurriedly explaining, ¡°Young Master Feng, it¡¯s a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding. They were the ones who said it!¡± Li Wenfeng then glanced at Yu Cheng and He Yun, asking, ¡°Manager Zhen, who are they?¡± Manager Zhen hastily replied, ¡°This is Young Master Yu¡­¡± ¡°Young Master Yu? Which Young Master Yu?¡± Li Wenfeng frowned, having no recollection. In Haishan¡¯s sphere, within the circle of wealthy young masters that Li Wenfeng knew, where was there room for a person like Yu Cheng who couldn¡¯t make the cut? Trembling with fear, Manager Zhen said, ¡°That is, the hotel supplies supplier who works with our Shihao Grand Hotel, the son of Yu Hai, the owner of Haitian Supplies Company¡ªYu Cheng. Young Master Yu is one of our platinum clients at Shihao Grand Hotel. Just now, this humble one did not dare to offend him, so in a moment of confusion, I listened to his words and offended Mr. Ye¡­¡± ¡°Yu Hai of Haitian Supplies Company? The nouveau riche who made a fortune a few years ago by hoarding and selling land?¡± Li Wenfeng¡¯s words were filled with contempt. ¡°Yes, yes, that¡¯s the one,¡± Manager Zhen hastily nodded and bowed. ¡°So it¡¯s really him, huh!¡± Li Wenfeng hummed, ¡°A nouveau riche is worth your groveling like this?¡± Manager Zhen¡¯s head drooped in regret as he repeatedly apologized. In fact, had he not foolishly believed Yu Cheng¡¯s instigation, why would Young Master Feng have lashed out at him so fiercely? Seeing that he was admitting his mistake, Li Wenfeng¡¯s anger subsided somewhat, and he turned to Ye Haochuan, ¡°Brother Ye, Manager Zhen here, despite being scum, is somewhat talented. This time, he didn¡¯t recognize Mount Tai and has offended you. What do you think¡­?¡± Regarding Manager Zhen, who judged people by their appearances, Ye Haochuan harbored no great grudge; seeing him now so contrite and apologetic, Ye Haochuan¡¯s anger dissipated and he waved a hand dismissively, ¡°Forget it, forget it.¡± Li Wenfeng promptly barked at Manager Zhen, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to thank Brother Ye?¡± S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Manager Zhen hurriedly expressed his gratitude, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your magnanimity, thank you, Mr. Ye, for your magnanimity¡­¡± Having reclaimed his dignity from Manager Zhen, Ye Haochuan felt gratified inside. He walked up to Yu Cheng and He Yun and said coldly, ¡°Was it you who said I was cozying up to a rich woman to play the gigolo?¡± Knowing about Ye Haochuan¡¯s deep connections with Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming, Yu Cheng¡¯s face was extremely awkward as he struggled to conjure up a smile, ¡°Brother Ye, that was just a joke. I hope you¡¯ll be magnanimous¡­¡± ¡°Magnanimous? Like hell, your mother¡¯s magnanimous!¡± Ye Haochuan spoke, and with a slap, he ferociously struck Yu Cheng¡¯s face, bellowing, ¡°I¡¯ll beat you up now, and then I¡¯ll beg for your generosity, asking you not to hold a grudge, understand?¡± Instantly feeling an intense burning pain on his face, Yu Cheng burst into anger, ¡°You¡­ you dare to hit me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m hitting you exactly! What are you going to do about it?¡± Ye Haochuan slapped him two more times and shouted, ¡°Remember this, before you humiliate someone else, you better be prepared to be humiliated yourself. What goes around comes around!¡± Although Yu Cheng was the son of a nouveau riche, who wasn¡¯t respectful in front of him, behind his back and to his face? Now, being beaten and humiliated by Ye Haochuan, how could he not be furious? But at this moment, how could he dare to act arrogantly in front of Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming? Any slightest thought of resistance would immediately invite merciless retaliation. He Yun was completely dumbfounded at the side. Was this Ye Haochuan, her ex-boyfriend, the same man who used to be so weak and easy to bully? To think that he even dared to hit Young Master Yu! However, Young Master Yu was after all her current boyfriend, and being beaten up right in front of her by her ex-boyfriend, if she didn¡¯t step in to stop it, Young Master Yu might hold a grudge against her afterwards. With that thought, He Yun, like a madwoman, lunged forward, cursing vehemently, ¡°Ye Haochuan, you bastard, let go of him! Our break-up is our business, what right do you have to take revenge on my boyfriend?¡± Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh in disbelief. What kind of logic was this woman using? Yu Cheng had just been mocking and insulting me, and he even had Manager Zhen try to drive me away, and I¡¯m not allowed to take my revenge? ¡°That¡¯s right, I am taking revenge on you, the gold digger. So what?¡± Ye Haochuan sneered, ¡°He Yun, the wheel of fortune turns, thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west. You would have never imagined that I would have my day, would you?¡± He Yun seethed, ¡°So what if you have your day? It¡¯s nothing but a lackey depending on power, a petty person getting smug¡­¡± ¡°Haha, a lackey depending on power? A petty person getting smug?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed scornfully, ¡°Fine, since you think so, today I¡¯ll show you exactly what it means to be a lackey depending on power; let me show you a petty person getting smug!¡­ Young Master Feng, there¡¯s something I need your help with, are you willing to lend a hand?¡± Li Wenfeng not only saw Ye Haochuan as a lifesaver but also as an idol and promptly said, ¡°Brother Ye, why are we still being so formal? Don¡¯t just talk about one thing, even if it¡¯s ten things, if I, Li Wenfeng, can do it, I will help!¡± ¡°Great! That¡¯s the spirit!¡± Ye Haochuan pointed at Yu Cheng and snorted, ¡°This Yu Cheng runs a hotel supplies company called Haitian Company, right? I heard it even has a collaboration with Shihao Grand Hotel?¡± ¡°Yes, Haitian Company not only has a collaboration with Shihao Grand Hotel but also with almost all hotels under Tianwei Group. How so, Brother Ye, you want to¡­¡± ¡°I have a request. Could you please speak to President Li and terminate all cooperation between Haitian Company and Tianwei Group?¡± said Ye Haochuan with a cold smile. Li Wenfeng immediately grasped his intention; this was to cut off Haitian Company¡¯s business at its roots. If Haitian Company didn¡¯t close down after that, it would be odd. By doing this, wouldn¡¯t his ex-girlfriend, He Yun, be out of luck as well? ¡°Brother Ye, that¡¯s a brilliant move!¡± Li Wenfeng cooperated on the spot, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Brother Ye, I have the authority to decide on this matter. Frankly, I have long been fed up with Haitian Company¡¯s practice of passing off inferior products as good quality. It¡¯s for the best to end our partnership with them now.¡± Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng immediately sensed something was terribly wrong. His father¡¯s Haitian Company¡¯s rapid growth was all thanks to Tianwei Group. Now that Tianwei Group was about to abandon Haitian Company, wouldn¡¯t Haitian Company be hugely affected? At that moment, he felt like crying but had no tears, absolutely despising He Yun, the harbinger of his misfortune. Why on earth did she have to jump out and say her piece just now? Now she had completely infuriated Ye Haochuan. If his father found out Tianwei Group had cut off the partnership, wouldn¡¯t he beat him to death? However, what he didn¡¯t realize was that there was worse to come. Chapter 49 - 49 49 Thrown Out ?49: Chapter 49 Thrown Out 49: Chapter 49 Thrown Out Turns out, as he was feeling anxious, Lei Yiming also jumped out and ¡°stabbed¡± viciously. ¡°Brother Ye, I¡¯ll lend you a hand too! My family runs a private bank, and this Haitian Company has racked up a hefty debt with us. Over the years, they¡¯ve made quite a fortune, I think it¡¯s about time to press them to pay back what they owe, with interest. I¡¯ll call my dad right away and say, damn it, if we don¡¯t bring Haitian Company to its knees, I¡¯m not a Lei.¡± Yu Cheng immediately collapsed to the ground. He knew better than anyone the financial situation of the Haitian Company opened by his dad. To fuel expansion over the years, it took on substantial loans from a private Huaxia bank. If they started pressing for repayment of the principal and the interest, wouldn¡¯t it drive Haitian Company straight into bankruptcy? ¡°Haha, good, good, Young Master Ming, Brother Ye thanks you right here,¡± Ye Haochuan laughed out loud. With Lei Yiming¡¯s move, they¡¯d successfully cornered Haitian Company into a dead end! When the time came, would the dreams of He Yun, that gold-digger who attempted to cozy up to a rich second-generation to marry into a wealthy family, not be shattered? Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming both laughed heartily, expressing that it was merely a trivial effort on their part. Afterward, accompanied by the Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming brothers, Ye Haochuan entered the hotel lobby like a celebrity surrounded by stars. Watching her ex-boyfriend leave in such a high-profile manner, He Yun, who was dumbfounded on the spot, felt utterly bitter. Meanwhile, Yu Cheng came back to his senses. He had to remedy the situation quickly, or else his dad¡¯s Haitian Company would be done for. Without Haitian Company, he¡¯d be nothing. No longer would he be able to woo girls; he¡¯d even have a hard time making ends meet! However, just when he was about to catch up with Ye Haochuan and the others, Manager Zhen who had stayed behind stopped him with an unfriendly expression. ¡°What are you doing? You fucking think you can still go in there?¡± Manager Zhen said hatefully. It was no surprise he was so irate; if it hadn¡¯t been for this idiot¡¯s provocations, how would he have offended Ye Haochuan and gotten himself beaten up by Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming? It was now clear to anyone that, under the joint pressure of Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming, it was only a matter of time before Haitian Company went bankrupt. Soon enough, Young Master Yu would be nothing. Caught off guard, Yu Cheng angrily retorted, ¡°Manager Zhen, what the hell do you mean? I¡¯m still a platinum client, why the hell can¡¯t I go in?¡± ¡°Platinum client? Platinum client my ass!¡± Manager Zhen hissed through clenched teeth, ¡°Haitian Company is about to go under, and you still think you¡¯re a platinum client?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What about me? Get lost!¡± Manager Zhen barked. Yu Cheng was instantly fuming. Damn it, he, the scion of a great family, was being reprimanded by a lowly manager. He shouted, ¡°What did you say? You¡¯re telling me to get lost? You dare tell me to get lost?¡± Yu Cheng wouldn¡¯t dare to defy major players like Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming, but he never put a mere manager in his eyes. He charged forward, grabbed Manager Zhen, and was ready to throw a punch. ¡°Security, security!¡± Manager Zhen yelled out loud. Soon, seven or eight security guards hurried over. Yu Cheng was startled and no longer dared to linger. He let go of Manager Zhen and ran, not even caring about He Yun. Unfortunately, the security guards were too quick and had him completely surrounded. Remembering his own humiliation moments ago, Manager Zhen was full of anger and hissed maliciously, ¡°Beat him up until even his mother wouldn¡¯t recognize him!¡± The security guards promptly piled on Yu Cheng, beating him mercilessly. In no time, they left him battered and howling in pain. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He Yun was utterly petrified and didn¡¯t dare to step in to stop them. ¡°Throw him out!¡± Seeing Yu Cheng take a beating, Manager Zhen felt a rush of gratification. Damn it, that¡¯s what you get for screwing me over. Two security guards then stepped forward and, like dragging a dead dog, tossed Yu Cheng out of the hotel. Yu Cheng, already having taken a beating, hit the ground with such force that it hurt all over. It took him a while to pick himself up. At this time, it was the middle of the day, and customers kept coming in to dine, looking at him with unusual eyes. Remembering that he, the Eldest Young Master Yu of the Yu Family, who normally could command the wind and rain, was now being thrown out like garbage, Yu Cheng truly felt an impulse to crawl into a hole. ¡°Ye Haochuan, you bastard, this isn¡¯t over!¡± Yu Cheng snarled fiercely. ¡°Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, are you okay?¡± He Yun hurried over to support him. The moment he saw He Yun, Yu Cheng¡¯s anger skyrocketed. If it weren¡¯t for this despicable woman¡¯s instigation, how could he have ended up in such a plight? With a smack, Yu Cheng slapped He Yun across the face, leaving her utterly stunned. ¡°Brother Cheng, why¡­ why did you hit me?¡± He Yun cried out, a picture of aggrieved sadness. ¡°Hit you? Why? You wretch, have you the nerve to ask why?¡± Yu Cheng cursed with eyes aflame, ¡°If not for you, would I have come to have a grudge with that bastard Ye Haochuan? If not for you, would I have managed to offend Young Master Feng and Young Master Ming at the same time? Get lost, get the hell away from me now!¡± He Yun¡¯s heart was filled with desolation. She had thought that by being with a rich second-generation, she¡¯d own cars and houses in Haishan, living a carefree life from then on; she hadn¡¯t expected that before her dreams could be realized, not only was she toyed with but also cruelly dumped. At that moment, for the first time, she felt endless regret for abandoning her former boyfriend Ye Haochuan. Although Ye Haochuan had neither money nor background, his affection for her was genuinely sincere. He treated her as though she was a princess, holding her in the palm of his hand, unlike Yu Cheng, the rich Eldest Young Master, who summoned her and dismissed her at will, treating her like an object of amusement. In a twist of body, He Yun ran away in despair. ¡°Damn wench!¡± Yu Cheng spat viciously, and just then, his phone rang. He picked it up to see that it was a call from his father. This is it! His father must have gotten wind of the news; calling now, he was certainly inquiring about Tianwei Group severing ties with Haitian Company and possibly demanding the repayment of loans from the Huaxia private bank. Indeed, as soon as he answered, his father Yu Hai¡¯s voice roared over, ¡°You damned brat, look at the mess you¡¯ve made! I told you to attend the Li Family¡¯s banquet just so you could meet the Eldest Young Master Li, but instead you¡¯ve gone and offended him, and not just that, you¡¯ve even managed to offend the Eldest Young Master of the Lei Family. How could I, Yu Hai, who have a lifetime of a good reputation, have begotten such a worthless thing like you, good-for-nothing yet causing endless trouble? Get back here now, and see if I don¡¯t beat you to death!¡± Yu Cheng¡¯s face turned pale as his phone dropped to the ground with a smack¡­ At this moment, on the hotel¡¯s third floor, in a VIP room. In the VIP room, there was a gathering of distinguished guests. They were all esteemed visitors invited by Li Tianwei, and given Li Tianwei¡¯s social status today, these guests undoubtedly were either rich or noble. Ye Haochuan was today¡¯s lunch banquet¡¯s main attraction and was seated next to Li Tianwei and his spouse, Tan Yuying. Right below him sat Kou Jing, his beautiful colleague. Kou Jing had contributed considerably in treating Li Wenfeng, and when Sun Zhe came to make trouble for Li Wenfeng, she was the one who fiercely intervened. Therefore, the grateful Li Tianwei and his wife invited her to the lunch banquet to express their thanks. Today, Kou Jing wore a pure white chiffon blouse, and between the gaps of the shirt, one could even glimpse the enticing cleavage, hard to resist. On her lower body, she wore a black skirt, emphasizing her devilish figure perfectly. Wrapped around her long and straight legs were black stockings, adding to her allure. Moreover, since they were sitting close, the smell of Chanel perfume wafted toward him, causing his heart to flutter uncontrollably. However, due to the presence of many distinguished guests around, Ye Haochuan only politely greeted her and then had no further interaction. At her side sat an elderly man with a kindly appearance that made people feel affable at first sight. However, the old man¡¯s gaze kept sizing up Ye Haochuan, leaving him somewhat bewildered. Who is this old man? Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but wonder. Chapter 50 - 50 50 Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle ?50: Chapter 50 Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle 50: Chapter 50 Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle The wine had been passed around three times, the dishes came in five flavors. Under Li Tianwei¡¯s leadership, Ye Haochuan was introduced to the distinguished guests filling the room. Tan Yuying even praised Ye Haochuan¡¯s medical skills as unparalleled in the world and rare among his contemporaries. Ye Haochuan, of course, repeatedly expressed modesty, winning unanimous favor from everyone present. The kind-looking elderly man shimmered with keen approval in his eyes. For a while, the whole luncheon was cheerful and harmonious between the hosts and guests. However, just as the luncheon was about to conclude, suddenly a middle-aged man at the table clutched his chest and slumped to the ground, his complexion pale, and sweat beads on his forehead dripping down his cheeks. ¡°President Yang, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Li Tianwei exclaimed in shock. ¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe President Yang¡¯s heart condition has recurred,¡± said one of the guests. ¡°Quick, get President Yang¡¯s heart medicine¡­¡± Li Tianwei urged urgently. Two bodyguards rushed forward, but President Yang, sweating profusely, said, ¡°This is bad, I rushed out the door and left it at the office, I forgot to bring it.¡± ¡°What should we do?¡± Li Tianwei fretted anxiously. At that moment, Li Wenfeng turned to Ye Haochuan and said, ¡°Right, Brother Ye, your medical skills are exceptional, please take a look at President Yang quickly.¡± Only then did Li Tianwei come to the realization and hastily sought help from Ye Haochuan. ¡°Alright,¡± Ye Haochuan nodded and promptly stepped forward to examine President Yang. Just then, a young man with a proudly arrogant look rose from another dining table, hurried over to President Yang, squatted down, took his pulse, and frowned, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a heart attack, but there¡¯s still time to save him¡­ Everyone, please help move President Yang to that sofa over there so he can lie flat, and then strip off his upper clothing so I can administer acupuncture.¡± Everyone hurriedly complied, lifting President Yang to a nearby sofa and removing his shirt. Seeing this, Ye Haochuan did not want to overshadow others and followed the crowd to the sofa. Strangely, the young man seemed to harbor considerable animosity towards Ye Haochuan. Upon seeing him approach, the young man huffed softly and then took out an acupuncture needle box from his person. He meticulously inserted several silver needles into various cardiac points on President Yang. Ye Haochuan watched, baffled. Was this guy taking the wrong medication? Why such animosity towards him! Could it be jealousy because he had just stolen the spotlight at the banquet? Thinking this, Ye Haochuan shook his head inwardly. For a medical practitioner, competition is not to be feared¡ªit¡¯s losing one¡¯s mind to jealousy that¡¯s dangerous. Clearly, this young man¡¯s jealousy was too strong, which wasn¡¯t a good sign! At that moment, the young man began the acupuncture. His movements were swift, and in a moment, he had inserted several silver needles. Ye Haochuan nodded repeatedly, appreciating the young man¡¯s proficient technique and the precision of the acupuncture points. Not bad. However, Ye Haochuan¡¯s mind stirred with a familiar sensation regarding this method of acupuncture. Upon further contemplation, he was slightly shocked, ¡°The Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle.¡± In the legacy of the Holy Hand that he inherited, the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle shared a profound similarity with the Holy Hand¡¯s Eighteen Needles. However, this needle¡¯s unique aspect lay in its ability to prolong a patient¡¯s life. That is to say, even if a patient was gasping for breath and near death, as long as the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle was administered, the patient could sustain a longer life. As for how much longer the patient could live, it depended on the medical practitioner¡¯s Cultivation. Unfortunately, the descended memory of the Holy Hand did not contain this set of needle techniques, so Ye Haochuan was unable to perform it. Moreover, within the memory of the Holy Hand, there had always been a longing for this technique, yet it had never been found. He had not expected to encounter it here. How wonderful it would be if he could acquire this miraculous set of life-battling needle techniques! As Ye Haochuan was contemplating how to acquire the technique of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle, suddenly, from beside him came a sound of surprise, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, do you also know about the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle?¡± Turning his head, Ye Haochuan saw that it was the kind elderly man from before. His superior, Kou Jing, was currently accompanying him. ¡°I know a little, but I don¡¯t understand the deeper mysteries,¡± Ye Haochuan nodded. The elderly man smiled slightly, ¡°It¡¯s remarkable that you know about the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle at your age, not bad, not bad.¡± A thought struck Ye Haochuan, could this elderly man know the mysteries of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle? With that thought, he immediately responded with a humble smile, ¡°Not at all, not at all.¡± Just then, Kou Jing laughed, ¡°Grandpa, you see I was right, my subordinate is quite extraordinary.¡± Ye Haochuan took a deep breath, so this elderly man was Kou Jing Doctor Kou¡¯s grandfather! At the same time, he was also surprised. Doctor Kou was known as the unapproachable ice beauty in the school hospital, only to be admired from afar, yet she was so gentle and warm in front of her grandfather, like ice and snow melting. Old Master Kou laughed, ¡°Extraordinary? He saved Li Wenfeng, his medical skills are many times better than yours. In my opinion, he shouldn¡¯t be your subordinate, he would be more than sufficient as your boss.¡± ¡°My boss? Him? He¡¯s not experienced enough!¡± Kou Jing pursed her lips and said. Old Master Kou kept a stern face and said, ¡°Shameless, not knowing modesty.¡± Kou Jing let out a coquettish laugh, obviously not taking her grandfather¡¯s words to heart. Old Master Kou turned to Ye Haochuan and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, my granddaughter is just like this; don¡¯t take it personally.¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head, indicating he would not. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Kou Jing glowered at Ye Haochuan, thinking whether he dared to challenge her. If he did, she, as his superior, would make things difficult for him. However, remembering his past lecherous acts, she felt a twinge of empathy. Just then, a scream erupted from President Yang¡¯s mouth. Ye Haochuan looked toward the source of the sound and saw President Yang, his face contorted in pain. Instead of improving, he convulsed and passed out. The young man now also changed color, completely losing his previously calm composure. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± everyone was shocked. ¡°Impossible, impossible¡­¡± the young man began stammering, sweating profusely. Old Master Kou quickly stepped forward and checked President Yang¡¯s pulse, shaking his head, ¡°Strange, very strange indeed¡­¡± The young man panicked, ¡°Master, did I do something wrong with the acupuncture?¡± Ye Haochuan was a bit taken aback; this young man was Old Master Kou¡¯s apprentice? Old Master Kou shook his head and said, ¡°Your technique was correct, Tang Zhen, but strangely, it had no effect at all.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not strange at all, Old Master Kou, because his heart is different from others. Other people¡¯s atriums are on the left, but President Yang¡¯s atrium is on the right side,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. Old Master Kou was suddenly startled; then he brightened up and laughed, ¡°Junior Brother Ye is truly extraordinary, seeing right through it!¡± The people around him, upon hearing this, perked up. Many were skeptical of Ye Haochuan¡¯s medical skills but hesitated to question him directly during President Li¡¯s luncheon. Now, hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s casual remark earning Old Master Kou¡¯s praise, their doubts were largely dispelled. After all, who was Old Master Kou? He was Senior Godly Doctor Kou, renowned across the entire Haishan medical community! ¡°Master, is this guy just spouting nonsense? How could he know that President Yang¡¯s atrium is on the right side?¡± Tang Zhen said resentfully. Chapter 51 - 51 51 Qi-Controlled Acupuncture ?51: Chapter 51: Qi-Controlled Acupuncture 51: Chapter 51: Qi-Controlled Acupuncture It¡¯s no wonder that Tang Zhen is so resentful towards Ye Haochuan. Due to his considerable medical talent, he was adopted as the dedicated disciple by Elder Kou of the Security Hall. He has always been proud and haughty; thus, he regards no one but his master as worthy of his respect. A few days ago, when Kou Jing left work and returned to the Security Hall, she mentioned to her master that Haishan School Hospital had a talented young doctor, Ye Haochuan, and she spoke highly of him, which caused Tang Zhen to feel extremely jealous. Deep down, he harbored a secret love for Kou Jing and could not bear to see anyone else get close to her. Moreover, he had noticed that today¡¯s entire banquet revolved around Ye Haochuan, which irritated him even more. So, when President Yang suddenly suffered a heart attack, he rushed to administer aid, hoping to impress the person he admired. What he never expected was that his efforts would backfire completely, leading to extreme embarrassment. ¡°It seems that Brother Tang Zhen is doubting my words. How about this, Brother Tang Zhen, please try performing the acupuncture again, but shift the location slightly,¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll do it, but you better take responsibility if anything goes wrong,¡± Tang Zhen retorted loudly. Elder Kou frowned. He realized then that his dedicated disciple was deliberately targeting Ye Haochuan. It was truly outrageous; he had always taught him that there was always someone better and that, as a medical practitioner, one should always possess a compassionate heart for healing the world rather than a competitive spirit. Unfortunately, it seemed his words had fallen on deaf ears. Although displeased, Elder Kou decided not to reprimand him right away and suppressed his anger. At that moment, Tang Zhen removed all the Silver Needles previously inserted and, following Ye Haochuan¡¯s suggestion, repositioned them slightly to the right of the heart. Strangely enough, President Yang, who had been lying on the couch, slowly began to revive and his complexion started to improve. Only then did Tang Zhen remove all the needles, his expression somewhat unnatural. ¡°There you go, President Yang, you¡¯re finally coming around,¡± Li Tianwei said, pleased. President Yang slowly sat up, glanced around at the joyous crowd, and with a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, asked, ¡°Who saved me? Was it Senior Godly Doctor Kou?¡± Elder Kou shook his head and was about to speak when Ye Haochuan interjected with a smile, ¡°It was Senior Godly Doctor Kou¡¯s distinguished disciple Tang Zhen who saved you.¡± Saying this, Ye Haochuan, not minding sharing the credit, pointed towards Tang Zhen. In his view, pleasing Tang Zhen would undoubtedly win Elder Kou¡¯s favor, making it much easier to later learn the secrets of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle. ¡°Thank you, Junior Brother Tang,¡± President Yang said. Tang Zhen, looking embarrassed, did not know how to explain himself. Although it was true that President Yang had been revived by him, could he have succeeded without Ye Haochuan¡¯s guidance? Even Elder Kou waved his hand and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ye is being too modest. If you hadn¡¯t pointed out the correct diagnosis just now, how could my unworthy disciple have saved him? I say, it was Junior Brother Ye who actually saved him.¡± Even his master speaking so disparagingly of him made Tang Zhen feel even more embarrassed, wishing he could just vanish into thin air. ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± President Yang quickly thanked Ye Haochuan again. Ye Haochuan nodded with a smile, then turned to Elder Kou, saying, ¡°Elder, let¡¯s not praise each other anymore. Your Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle indeed has its unique aspects, but there is something I am not sure whether to mention or not.¡± ¡°Go ahead,¡± Elder Kou responded with a generous smile. ¡°That¡¯s right, Old Master Kou, although the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle is extraordinary, it is often used for emergency life-saving purposes. For President Yang¡¯s heart disease, the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle cannot cure it completely. That is to say, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.¡± Before Old Master Kou could respond, Tang Zhen voiced his dissatisfaction, ¡°So, you mean you have a way to cure it completely? Ha, what a joke! President Yang¡¯s heart disease is congenital, present from birth. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It¡¯s too late for any cure now; it can only be managed with medication¡­¡± Ye Haochuan smiled, ¡°What if I could completely cure President Yang¡¯s heart disease?¡± Tang Zhen¡¯s expression changed, ¡°How could that be possible?¡± At this point, Li Wenfeng couldn¡¯t stand it any longer, and said irritably, ¡°What do you mean ¡®impossible¡¯? Just because you can¡¯t do it doesn¡¯t mean others can¡¯t. Brother Ye, I support you.¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Ye, I support you too!¡± Lei Yiming exclaimed loudly. Seeing the support from both of them, Ye Haochuan was touched and nodded repeatedly with a smile. On the contrary, Tang Zhen¡¯s face lost its color, filled internally with resentment. At this moment, Old Master Kou rebuked Tang Zhen, ¡°Tang Zhen, if you have nothing to say, no one will think you¡¯re mute.¡± Tang Zhen had no choice but to keep silent, yet deep down, he still felt unconvinced. Finally, Old Master Kou turned to Ye Haochuan and asked, ¡°How do you intend to completely cure President Yang¡¯s heart disease, Junior Brother Ye?¡± ¡°It¡¯s simple, through the Ye Family¡¯s unique Qi-Controlled Acupuncture technique,¡± Ye Haochuan answered with a smile. The majesty of the Holy Hand Eighteen Needles lies in the foundation of the Dharma of Qi-Controlled Acupuncture. ¡°Qi-Controlled Acupuncture?¡± Old Master Kou suddenly became excited, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable intensity. Unaware of his thoughts, Ye Haochuan nodded, ¡°Yes, Qi-Controlled Acupuncture.¡± With this, Ye Haochuan glanced at Li Wenfeng and said, ¡°Young Master Feng¡¯s injury, which didn¡¯t require surgery, was treated with this very technique to shatter the fragmented bone embedded in the lung lobe and repair the damaged lung lobe.¡± Hearing the truth, Old Master Kou, Kou Jing, and Tang Zhen were deeply shocked. They had never imagined that it was possible to treat patients without surgery. If this method were to spread, the rise of Traditional Chinese Medicine could be imminent! Especially Old Master Kou, who was particularly excited, said, ¡°When I was young learning medicine, my teacher mentioned the needling techniques of Qi-Controlled Acupuncture, considered to be legendary at the time. I never thought it was actually real.¡± Your teacher? Ye Haochuan was momentarily stunned. The memories passed down from the Holy Hand suggested that few in the secular world, let alone knowing, could perform Qi-Controlled Acupuncture. Elder Kou¡¯s teacher must have been extraordinary. Because Qi-Controlled Acupuncture relies on profound Inner Strength, the superficial Qigong of the secular world is simply inadequate to master such sophisticated Acupuncture techniques. Thus, few medical practitioners in the secular world use it, let alone know about it. ¡°Junior Brother Ye, could you demonstrate the technique of Qi-Controlled Acupuncture for us here, to enlighten us?¡± Old Master Kou suddenly asked. ¡°That¡¯s not a problem.¡± In order to obtain the technique of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle, Ye Haochuan naturally wouldn¡¯t refuse. Finally, Old Master Kou smiled at President Yang, ¡°President Yang, with your congenital heart disease, there¡¯s great hope for a complete recovery now.¡± Upon hearing that his heart disease could be completely healed, President Yang was overjoyed and stepped forward, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, is it really true?¡± Chapter 52 - 52 52 One in a Million ?52: Chapter 52: One in a Million 52: Chapter 52: One in a Million Ye Haochuan nodded and said, ¡°Yes. If you trust me, I can perform acupuncture on you right now.¡± ¡°Good,¡± President Yang readily responded. Subsequently, at Ye Haochuan¡¯s instructions, President Yang lay down again on the sofa. ¡°Brother Tang Zhen, may I borrow your silver needles?¡± Ye Haochuan asked with a smile. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even if Tang Zhen was reluctant, he had no choice but to lend them. Ye Haochuan immediately circulated the Longevity Technique, injecting the Longevity True Qi into the silver needles. In an instant, the threads of the silver needles, as fine as hair, suddenly became rigid. The onlookers were stunned, not expecting the flexible silver needles to be so firm. It¡¯s conceivable that this was all thanks to Ye Haochuan¡¯s Qigong. Then, Ye Haochuan swiftly inserted the silver needles into the acupoints on the right side of President Yang¡¯s chest. His movements were equally fast, finishing the insertion of more than a dozen silver needles in moments. ¡°Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?¡± Old Master Kou exclaimed in surprise, blurting out. But soon, seeing that Ye Haochuan continued inserting needles, he shook his head, ¡°No, no¡­¡± Ye Haochuan nodded and said impassively, ¡°Elder is right. This is a modified version of Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, based on which I¡¯ve developed the Ye Family Eighteen Needles technique, which is extremely effective.¡± In order not to expose Holy Hand, he had temporarily changed Holy Hand Eighteen Needles to ¡°Ye Family Eighteen Needles,¡± hoping to bluff his way through. Old Master Kou truly didn¡¯t suspect anything, and simply assumed that Ye Family Eighteen Needles were his ancestral secret technique. Ye Haochuan then continued to channel Longevity True Qi, persistently impacting President Yang¡¯s heart area, using the healing properties of Longevity True Qi to promote the self-repair of the heart¡¯s septal defect. The greatest function of Longevity True Qi is its healing properties since it can promote the recovery of bodily functions. This is what sets it apart from other Inner Qi, and it¡¯s quite magical. This is also one of the reasons why Holy Hand commands such a high status within the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Time ticked by, every second passing as everyone watched Ye Haochuan¡¯s every move, as well as President Yang¡¯s reactions. At this moment, President Yang appeared completely indulged and comfortable. In his opinion, Ye Haochuan¡¯s acupuncture technique was indeed much more sophisticated than Tang Zhen¡¯s. The silver needles were cold, but in Ye Haochuan¡¯s hands, with just a gentle twist, they emitted a faint warmth, which was very comfortable. Twenty minutes later, Ye Haochuan suddenly stopped twisting the needles and took out a small bottle of Eclipse mints, pouring out a pill ¨C it was the Body-Strengthening Pill he had concocted. ¡°President Yang, this is a Body-Strengthening Pill that I¡¯ve concocted. It¡¯s immensely beneficial for strengthening the body. Your heart defect has just been repaired by me and is still fragile. Now is the time it needs to be fortified. Take it,¡± Ye Haochuan said. Looking at the unimpressive, mud-like so-called Body-Strengthening Pill in his hand, everyone felt a bit disgusted. ¡°What is this stuff? It¡¯s dirty, and you dare to have President Yang take it?¡± Tang Zhen took the opportunity to stir things up. Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows. This Tang Zhen¡¯s competitive spirit was a bit too strong, wasn¡¯t it? As the saying goes, a medical practitioner should be compassionate. A physician should harbor a benevolent heart intent on relieving the suffering in the world, not a competitive spirit. This Tang Zhen, though a medical practitioner, was clearly not fit for the role! ¡°Brother Tang Zhen, whether or not to take it is President Yang¡¯s decision, not yours, right?¡± Ye Haochuan said, his tone heated. Just as Tang Zhen was about to retort, Elder Kou gave him a stern look: ¡°Tang Zhen, shut your mouth.¡± Being chastised by his master, Tang Zhen mumbled and didn¡¯t dare utter another word. At this point, President Yang spoke as if he had made a great decision: ¡°I believe in Junior Brother Ye, I¡¯ll take it.¡± After speaking, he directly took the Body-Strengthening Pill from his hand, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and swallowed it. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on President Yang, waiting to see what would happen next. Five minutes later, President Yang opened his eyes and took a deep breath, ¡°That feels amazing!¡± The crowd was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on. President Yang explained, ¡°This Body-Strengthening Pill really is extraordinary. Right before I took it, I felt somewhat listless. But after taking it, I feel much younger, my mind is clearer and I can¡¯t begin to describe how energetic I feel. Also, my vision seems to have improved a lot¡­¡± Hearing about all the benefits President Yang had experienced, the crowd was astonished. Ye Haochuan explained with a smile, ¡°Though the Body-Strengthening Pill isn¡¯t a cure-all, it certainly has the effect of improving bodily functions.¡± Hearing this, people shamelessly started to ask Ye Haochuan for some. Ye Haochuan frowned, the Body-Strengthening Pill had shown remarkable effects, but with so many people asking for it, how could he possibly satisfy them all? Besides, these people were looking to take medicine without seeking treatment first, hoping for an easy fix. Wasn¡¯t that putting the cart before the horse? ¡°Hey, let¡¯s all calm down a bit. Brother Ye¡¯s Body-Strengthening Pill must not be easy to make. You can¡¯t expect to take something of such value without paying a price. How about this, Brother Ye, you name your price, and I¡¯ll buy three. One for me, one for my wife, and one for my son.¡± Li Tianwei said loudly, showing off his financial strength. Once Li Tianwei spoke up, others began to chime in, ¡°Right, Brother Ye, you name your price, money is not an issue¡­¡± Money is not an issue? Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyelid twitched, damn, should I open a pill store? The business would definitely be booming! Ye Haochuan was also someone who wouldn¡¯t wake up early for no benefit. His eyes darted around as he hatched a plan and put on a troubled expression, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, this Body-Strengthening Pill is not easy to create. It¡¯s all done by hand, and its value can¡¯t be measured in money¡­¡± ¡°Brother Ye, just name your price. There¡¯s a saying that health cannot be bought with money. To us, it may seem like we have successful careers, but in fact, our bodies are more or less suffering from problems. Take me, for instance. I often have to drink with clients, which has damaged my spleen and stomach. I deeply regret it now.¡± One of the presidents said. ¡°Exactly, Brother Ye, just go ahead and name your price. We have no complaints, as long as we can get healthy,¡± the crowd echoed in agreement. Only then did Ye Haochuan say, ¡°Well, seeing as you all are asking so eagerly, I suppose I¡¯ll indulge you this once ¨C a million per pill. Also, I want to add that it¡¯s limited to one per person.¡± Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A million? Tang Zhen was stunned on the spot. A pill that looked nothing more than a lump of mud was actually a million per piece? That¡¯s outrageously profitable! What surprised him even more was that the presidents didn¡¯t care about the price of a million per Body-Strengthening Pill. ¡°Only a million bucks per pill? That¡¯s too cheap. Brother Ye, here¡¯s a million-dollar cheque from Huaxia Bank for you. Keep it safe.¡± ¡°Indeed, compared to health, that¡¯s very cheap. Brother Ye, here¡¯s a million-dollar cheque from Huaxia Agricultural Bank for you. Keep it safe.¡± ¡°Brother Ye is really a generous person. I thought such a miraculous elixir would cost at least ten million, but it¡¯s only a million,¡± another president added. ¡­ The crowd was abuzz with conversation. In no time at all, most of the Body-Strengthening Pills in Ye Haochuan¡¯s possession had been sold, leaving only six left. Ye Haochuan secretly reveled in his heart. He never expected that those Body-Strengthening Pills he had re-processed from the Body-Strengthening Pills he had snatched from Fang Ba would turn out to be his golden goose. Looking at the dozen or so cheques in his hand, he felt as if he were floating on air. Damn, with a flip of a hand, that¡¯s tens of millions in assets. This is so exciting! Chapter 53 - 53 53 Such a Great Sense of Achievement ?53: Chapter 53: Such a Great Sense of Achievement 53: Chapter 53: Such a Great Sense of Achievement ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I must first declare that the Body-Strengthening Pill can only improve bodily functions and cannot cure all diseases. If you feel unwell, you should still seek medical treatment. Additionally, if you continue with your previous unhealthy habits after taking it, your body will still break down¡­¡± The crowd expressed their understanding. At that moment, there were still people wanting to buy more, but Ye Haochuan refused them, ¡°Please understand, everyone, the remaining Body-Strengthening Pills are reserved for life-saving purposes, so I am unable to sell more for now. If I have more in the future, I will notify everyone.¡± Only then did everyone back down. ¡°Also, I must advise you all, although the effects of the Body-Strengthening Pill are significant, much like antibiotics, misuse will lead to decreasing effectiveness. Therefore, don¡¯t rely solely on medication to achieve health; you must take better care of your bodies,¡± Ye Haochuan advised. The crowd all indicated that they took his words to heart. At that point, some people had already taken the Body-Strengthening Pill, and in no time, they were all exclaiming its miraculous effects. Their backs no longer hurt, their stomachs stopped aching, and they felt energized all over¡ªpraises were endless. Undoubtedly, this further tempted the executives who had not yet taken it. Especially Li Tianwei, who originally suffered from chest tightness and shortness of breath. After he took the pill, he felt much more comfortable and couldn¡¯t stop praising its effectiveness. Tan Yuying felt the same. After taking it, she looked in the mirror and noticed the skin on her face, which had been sagging, now appeared smoother and more delicate, even her crow¡¯s feet had disappeared. She looked twenty years younger and was thrilled. Seeing everyone in the room so cheerful and excited, Old Master Kou, Kou Jing, and Tang Zhen were all taken aback. ¡°Old Master, Doctor Kou, Brother Tang Zhen, here, one for each of you,¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly said with a smile. Old Master Kou¡¯s brows furrowed, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, this Body-Strengthening Pill is not cheap. Even if I sold all my old bones, I wouldn¡¯t be able to afford it.¡± Although Old Master Kou ran Security Hall, it was not aimed at making a profit. Many destitute patients came there for treatment without being charged. Therefore, he did not have much savings, making a million dollars truly a big ask for him. ¡°Old Master, don¡¯t say that. Although I am new to Haishan, I am well aware of the reputation of Senior Godly Doctor Kou. Your Security Hall in Haishan is renowned, and you¡¯ve offered free treatment to many poor patients. With such integrity and spirit, I have nothing but respect for you, how could I possibly charge you? Please accept this small token as a gesture of my respect,¡± Ye Haochuan replied. Old Master Kou¡¯s eyes lit up. Just a moment ago, he was somewhat disenchanted by Ye Haochuan seeming to seek profits, and he hadn¡¯t expected him to give him a pill for free. Actually, even if Ye Haochuan hadn¡¯t offered, he would have asked for one. The reason was simple: he wanted to thoroughly research the Body-Strengthening Pill to unlock its mysteries and discover why it was so effective. ¡°Well then, this old man will accept it,¡± Old Master Kou said with a chuckle, stroking his beard and taking a Body-Strengthening Pill. However, seeing him treasure it like a precious item and not taking it, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but feel curious and asked, ¡°Old Master, what are you doing¡­?¡± Old Master Kou then shared his plan to study the pill. Ye Haochuan immediately looked at him with increased respect. At his advanced age, with declining bodily functions, Old Master Kou¡¯s first thought upon receiving the Body-Strengthening Pill was to study it, not to take it himself. Such a spirit of dedication was truly admirable. Thinking this, Ye Haochuan took out another pill and handed it to him, ¡°Old Master, take this one as well. Research is important, but your health is also crucial.¡± Old Master Kou began to look at Ye Haochuan in a new light. Such an inconspicuous pill cost a million each, very precious indeed, yet he readily gave away two. After taking the Body-Strengthening Pill, Old Master Kou directly swallowed it and soon felt his body much stronger. The symptoms of presbyopia, osteoporosis, arthritis, and other ailments had also lessened substantially. ¡°Wonderful, truly wonderful!¡± exclaimed Old Master Kou continuously. Seeing Old Master Kou satisfied, Ye Haochuan then handed a Body-Strengthening Pill to Kou Jing and chuckled, ¡°Doctor Kou, how about it? Want to try one? It can not only preserve beauty and youth but also make that area even more robust.¡± Robust, robust my ass! Kou Jing shyly glanced at him, but hearing it could preserve beauty, she had no immunity and quietly muttered, ¡°Hmm.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed and said, ¡°Then stretch out your hand.¡± Kou Jing obediently did as told. Ye Haochuan then handed her a Body-Strengthening Pill, and intentionally scratched lightly in the palm of her hand as he pulled his hand away. Kou Jing immediately tensed, as if shocked by electricity, and glared at him furiously and embarrassedly. This big pervert, reverting to his old ways, dared to flirt with her in front of everyone. Ye Haochuan felt secretly thrilled inside. Flirting with a frosty beauty like Doctor Kou felt like quite an achievement. Tang Zhen, who had been paying close attention to Ye Haochuan¡¯s every move, saw his loved one not erupting in anger as before and felt unpleasant inside, his hatred for Ye Haochuan itching his teeth. So, when Ye Haochuan offered him a Body-Strengthening Pill, Tang Zhen disdainfully said, ¡°And you call yourself a doctor? Charging a million yuan just like that, you sure know how to amass a fortune. I dare not take it.¡± Ye Haochuan frowned deeply. This Tang Zhen was too narrow-minded and still hadn¡¯t forgotten to take a dig at him? Then, Li Wenfeng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and stepped forward to scold, ¡°What the hell are you babbling about? Don¡¯t you understand that scarcity increases value? Brother Ye¡¯s Body-Strengthening Pills are extraordinarily effective, and everyone willingly pays for them. What is it to you? Shit, if you don¡¯t want it, fine, who cares if you do.¡± Lei Yiming also chimed in, ¡°Exactly, some people just love to act all high and mighty. Brother Ye, if he doesn¡¯t want it, just forget it.¡± Ye Haochuan looked seriously at Tang Zhen and frowned, ¡°Brother Tang Zhen, you just said that I am amassing wealth. I won¡¯t deny it; these Body-Strengthening Pills are hard to come by. Should I be giving them all away for free then?¡± After pausing, Ye Haochuan added, ¡°Moreover, the effects of these Body-Strengthening Pills are clear to everyone here, and many have personally experienced them. You could say, even if you had a whole bunch of medications worth millions or tens of millions, they wouldn¡¯t be as effective as a single one of these pills.¡± At this point, the surrounding bosses came over and expressed their agreement, many of them looking displeased with Tang Zhen. Dammit, you talk without feeling the pain, we are long-suffering patients, how can we compare with a young guy like you? Shit, if you can¡¯t afford it, just shut up, no one is forcing you to buy! Besides, Junior Brother Ye is generous enough, giving you one for free and you still refuse, what the hell are you pretending for? sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. President Yang, annoyed, looked at Tang Zhen and said loudly, ¡°Junior Brother Ye is absolutely right. Over the years, to alleviate my heart disease, I¡¯ve visited every major hospital in China and overseas, spending way more than tens of millions, all just for temporary relief, no real results. If it wasn¡¯t for Junior Brother Ye, I¡¯d still have no idea when my heart disease could be cured.¡± Chapter 54 - 54 54 I think you are being unreasonable! ?54: Chapter 54: I think you are being unreasonable! 54: Chapter 54: I think you are being unreasonable! President Yang¡¯s words garnered affirmations and agreement from everyone present. Tang Zhen suddenly felt isolated, and he argued, ¡°But as medical practitioners, we should be benevolent. How can we only think about making money? A million for one pill, isn¡¯t that too expensive?¡± As he spoke, he glanced around the room and said, ¡°Take my master, for example, who is respected and holds high moral principles. He often treats patients without charging a penny, and even the little profit he does make, he donates most of it to the Hope Project. Comparing him to Ye Haochuan, doesn¡¯t that show Ye has fallen behind?¡± Are you kidding me? Calling you ¡®Brother Tang Zhen¡¯ was just out of respect, do you really think you¡¯re that important? Ye Haochuan was very displeased. ¡°Brother Tang Zhen, I don¡¯t like what you¡¯re saying. The elder is indeed noble and admirable, something we should all learn from, but I¡¯m different,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a chuckle. ¡°Pfft, what¡¯s so different about you? In my opinion, you¡¯re just too greedy for money, your whole body reeks of avarice,¡± Tang Zhen snorted. Avarice, for God¡¯s sake, what a high hat! Ye Haochuan snorted coldly and then said with a smirk, ¡°A gentleman loves money, and gets it in an honest way. I haven¡¯t stolen, nor have I robbed. Everyone willingly gave their money. How is that called profiteering? Besides, this kind of pill is extremely difficult to refine, with some ingredients very hard to find and invaluable. If it¡¯s not worth a million, how much do you think it¡¯s worth? Fifty cents?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Tang Zhen did not know how to retort. Even if he was foolish, he knew that a pill which even his master couldn¡¯t stop praising, couldn¡¯t possibly just be worth fifty cents! Ye Haochuan continued, ¡°There¡¯s a saying, ¡®If poor, one does well to take care of oneself; if rich, one should help the world.¡¯ Right now, I¡¯m so poor that all I have is money. Why should I donate to the Hope Project? Does not donating mean I¡¯m lesser?¡± Tang Zhen listened with disdain and mocked, ¡°So poor all you have is money? And that¡¯s considered poverty?¡± ¡°How is it not?¡± Ye Haochuan retorted, ¡°I can¡¯t compare with you, Brother Tang Zhen. I¡¯m an orphan who has been scared of poverty, still single, with my ex-girlfriend even leaving me for lacking money and status. Is it wrong for me to earn some money, save to buy a house, a car and find a wife?¡± Lei Yiming gave Tang Zhen a look of contempt and supported Ye, saying, ¡°Brother Ye is right. Some people just don¡¯t get the pain when they stand and talk.¡± Tang Zhen scoffed, ¡°He made over ten million in a blink of an eye, and you call that a small amount? Just take one million, and he¡¯ll have both a house and a car, no worries about finding a wife¡­¡± Ye Haochuan unapologetically interrupted, ¡°No ambition. You think a million-dollar house and car will land you a good wife? Dream on!¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t a million-dollar house and car get you a good wife? What kind of logic is that?¡± Tang Zhen said indignantly. Ye Haochuan retorted, ¡°What logic? If the woman I love happens to be an heiress worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, tell me, what use would my million-dollar house and car be then?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Tang Zhen was speechless. Anyone could imagine it; thinking of marrying a wealthy beauty with just a million-dollar car was impossible. Even if such a beauty was willing to marry, her family wouldn¡¯t necessarily agree due to the mismatch in social status. Seeing that Tang Zhen had nothing more to say, Ye Haochuan sneered and continued, ¡°Elder Kou is highly respected and nobly principled, and we all admire him and should learn from him. But don¡¯t forget, he has a large family and a renowned name. Me? I am alone, nameless, can I reach Elder Kou¡¯s status? Okay, let¡¯s not talk about me, could you do it?¡± ¡°Of course I could,¡± Tang Zhen said through gritted teeth. ¡°Alright then, you¡¯ve got guts. Hopefully you¡¯ll do as you say, and when you earn money, don¡¯t get married, and donate it all to the Hope Project,¡± Ye Haochuan snorted. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re making a senseless commotion.¡± Tang Zhen said angrily. ¡°Senseless commotion?¡± Ye Haochuan glared back, ¡°I think you¡¯re the one being unreasonable!¡± ¡°What?¡± Tang Zhen was furious. As the two were about to start arguing, Old Master Kou shouted, ¡°Have you had enough? If there¡¯s any more nonsense, get out at once!¡± Seeing his master angry, Tang Zhen dared not say another word, and fell into sullen silence. However, his dissatisfaction with Ye Haochuan was still clearly evident in his expression. Only then did Old Master Kou apologize to Ye Haochuan. ¡°Old Master Kou, you¡¯re overstating it. You¡¯re the Mount Tai of the medical world, and I¡¯m just a nameless nobody, I really can¡¯t bear such praise,¡± Ye Haochuan said sincerely. He was still mindful of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle, and naturally did not want to fall out with Old Master Kou, so he took this opportunity to graciously back down. Laughing heartily, Old Master Kou said with a booming voice, ¡°Ha-ha, how can I be considered the Mount Tai of anything? Junior Brother Ye, you¡¯re too modest! As for you, curing an entrepreneur like President Yang of his congenital heart disease in one go, you¡¯ll rise to fame from now on. How could you still be just a nameless nobody?¡± This point was unanimously agreed upon by everyone present. Li Wenfeng smiled and said, ¡°Old Master Kou is right, Brother Ye, a piece of gold like you will shine sooner or later.¡± ¡°Exactly, exactly¡­¡± the others chimed in. Ye Haochuan smiled and replied, ¡°Old Master is being modest. Others might not know, but I¡¯m very aware that Old Master¡¯s Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle is a peerless skill. I dare say that alone qualifies you as the Mount Tai of this field.¡± ¡°I¡¯m flattered, truly flattered. Junior Brother Ye, do you think this old man¡¯s eyes are so dim? My Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle, although extraordinary, falls short when compared to your Ye Family Eighteen Needles,¡± Old Master Kou shook his head and said. ¡°Old Master, you¡¯re too generous. The Ye Family Eighteen Needles are just an improvement on the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles and nothing special. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But your Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle is different, it truly wrestles with fate, winning crucial time for patients!¡± ¡°Of course, did you need to say it?¡± Tang Zhen murmured in a low voice, unable to resist adding a comment. Ye Haochuan, with excellent hearing, caught the remark and glanced at him askance but couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and continued to smile, ¡°Of course, although Old Master¡¯s Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle is wonderful, its power is limited, mainly because Old Master¡¯s Qigong cultivation is too low. If Old Master doesn¡¯t mind, I can teach you a set of Qigong Techniques from our Ye Family¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Tang Zhen couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and rebuked, ¡°Ye Haochuan, who do you think you are, daring to judge my master¡¯s Qigong cultivation as too low? What are you? Are your Ye Family¡¯s Qigong Techniques that remarkable?¡± ¡°Tang Zhen, shut your mouth!¡± Old Master Kou shouted, ¡°It¡¯s not your place to speak here.¡± Tang Zhen, defiant and ready to argue, was pulled aside by Kou Jing, which made him quiet down. Old Master Kou apologized again, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, don¡¯t lower yourself to my disciple¡¯s level. It¡¯s my fault for indulging him too much, letting this boy develop such an arrogant and condescending temperament.¡± Ye Haochuan smiled and shook his head, indicating it was no trouble. ¡°However, Junior Brother Ye, are you really willing to teach your Ye Family¡¯s Qigong Technique to this old man?¡± Old Master Kou asked with a face full of hope. He had seen clearly just a moment ago how extremely sophisticated the Qigong Technique Ye Haochuan had used while treating President Yang. Chapter 55 - 55 55 The Four Golden Hairpins ?55: Chapter 55 The Four Golden Hairpins 55: Chapter 55 The Four Golden Hairpins ¡°Of course, I¡¯d be happy to,¡± Ye Haochuan nodded with a smile. Old Master Kou was somewhat surprised. This young man was so open-minded? Ye Haochuan saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, ¡°Right now, Traditional Chinese Medicine is on the decline. A large part of the reason is the lack of communication among medical practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Many tend to hold onto their knowledge tightly, some even prefer to take it to the grave rather than pass it on, resulting in the loss of many of our ancestors¡¯ medical essences in the river of history, which is truly heartbreaking.¡± Hearing his response, Old Master Kou felt a strong resonance and said, ¡°Indeed, our Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and extensive, a precious heritage left by our ancestors. It¡¯s a pity that too little has been passed down, and instead, Western medicine has taken the lead.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I think we should abandon this mindset and increase exchanges so that our Traditional Chinese Medicine can be well-preserved and flourish,¡± Ye Haochuan earnestly said. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Well said!¡± Old Master Kou applauded with a laugh, ¡°Since Junior Brother Ye is so generous, then I, this old fool, won¡¯t hide it any longer. I will pass on the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle to you. I believe that with your medical skills, you¡¯ll be able to make greater use of it.¡± Ye Haochuan was overjoyed internally. Great, he¡¯d finally gotten the old man to take the initiative to pass on the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle to him. ¡°Master, the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle is our Security Hall¡¯s signature skill. If it¡¯s passed on, won¡¯t it affect our Security Hall¡¯s business?¡± Tang Zhen exclaimed in surprise. Ye Haochuan silently scorned him. This Tang Zhen had just been speaking righteously, acting like a Bodhisattva intent on saving the world, and now he¡¯s worried about business impact, still fixated on money? Fortunately, Old Master Kou was quite enlightened and frowned, saying, ¡°What do you know? If everyone treasured their knowledge as you do, how could Traditional Chinese Medicine continue and develop? Enough, don¡¯t say anymore, I have my own plans.¡± With Tang Zhen being reprimanded by his master in front of everyone, he felt even more embarrassed, his face burning red. Ye Haochuan internally reveled, Damn it, that¡¯ll teach you to show off, you had it coming! Afterward, Ye Haochuan silently wrote down the verse for the first part of the Longevity Technique on a piece of paper, handed it to Old Master Kou, and explained in detail the tricks of how to cultivate it. The Longevity Technique was a method of Inner Strength that countless people dreamt of obtaining. If it fell into the hands of someone with malicious intentions, the consequences would be dire. Therefore, Ye Haochuan only provided the verse for the foundational first part, keeping the second part to himself. Old Master Kou treasured the verse as if it were a Supreme Treasure and then cheerfully passed on the needle technique of the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle and its tricks to Ye Haochuan, one by one. Having the memory inheritance of the Holy Hand, Ye Haochuan caught on quite fast and mastered it in no time. For such a prodigy, Old Master Kou naturally felt delighted, and since the young man also had good medical ethics, which indicated a decent character, he thought of his granddaughter who was still single. She was of a similar age to this young man; if he could facilitate a match between them, wouldn¡¯t it be wonderful? The banquet ended in perfection. All the attendees congratulated the exchange of medical knowledge between the two. And before the meeting adjourned, Old Master Kou also handed his business card to Ye Haochuan, saying cheerfully, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, I know your medical skill is extraordinary. My Security Hall is in the city center. If you have time, come to Security Hall to visit. We, the young and old, should exchange more to jointly promote the development of our Traditional Chinese Medicine¡­¡± ¡°Certainly, how could I refuse such a gracious invitation from Elder Kou?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. After seeing off Old Master Kou and his party, Ye Haochuan prepared to return to campus, so he took leave of the married couple, Li Tianwei and Tan Yuying. Since Li Tianwei had to attend to other business executives, he had his son Li Wenfeng see Ye Haochuan off. On the way down in the elevator, Li Wenfeng said, ¡°Brother Ye, what¡¯s the rush to get back to school? It¡¯s the rare weekend, we three should have a good time together. How about we go to KTV and sing?¡± ¡°KTV and sing?¡± Ye Haochuan was taken aback. Lei Yiming, who was next to them, chimed in, ¡°Great idea, let¡¯s go to KTV to sing. Heh, it¡¯s been a long time since I let loose.¡± Li Wenfeng suddenly blinked his eyes and said, ¡°Brother Ye, now that you¡¯ve moved to Building 7, it¡¯s said that you¡¯ve also gotten to know a few beauties. Why don¡¯t you call them out and we can all go to KTV and have a blast singing?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Ye Haochuan hesitated a bit. He wasn¡¯t worried about the other girls, but he was concerned that Lin Qingxuan would be targeted by the masters of Hellfire if she were called out. And with his current ability, he was powerless to protect her. But then he thought, didn¡¯t Long Xiaotian say there was protection arranged off campus as well? Why was he worrying so much? ¡°What¡¯s with this hesitation?¡± Li Wenfeng grinned. ¡°Could it be that you can¡¯t bear to part with them?¡± ¡°Go away! What do you mean, ¡®can¡¯t bear to part with them¡¯?¡± Ye Haochuan retorted irritably. ¡°Since you can¡¯t ¡®bear to part with them¡¯, why hesitate? Just call them out!¡± Lei Yiming egged him on. ¡°Rest assured, Brother Ye, if there¡¯s a girl there you have your eye on, she¡¯ll be our future sister-in-law, and we promise not to make a move on her.¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Ye Haochuan scolded with a smile. Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming immediately burst into laughter. Unable to withstand their incessant pleading and badgering, Ye Haochuan could only say, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll try. As for whether it¡¯ll work out, I have no idea.¡± He called Zhao Bingqian, and to his surprise, the Little Sprite agreed very readily. After finding out they were going to the Golden Age, she said she would bring her three sisters right away. Ye Haochuan felt helpless, while Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming were over the moon. The Golden Age was located near Haishan University, an entertainment venue developed for the students of Haishan University. It featured Internet cafes, KTV, bars, music stores, and fitness clubs, among others, which made it extremely popular with the students. Since Ye Haochuan was skilled in martial arts, and Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming did not want to be constrained, they simply went without bodyguards. So, the two hopped into the BMW car driven by Ye Haochuan and sped off to the Golden Age. Twenty minutes later, the BMW car entered the parking lot of the Golden Age, where it was surrounded by prestigious cars like Maseratis, Ferraris, Porsches, and Lamborghinis, making quite the flashy spectacle. After getting out of the car, Ye Haochuan could see from a distance Zhao Bingqian, Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue standing pertly at the entrance of the Golden Age. The four girls were beauties among beauties: a petite Lolita, a young-looking girl with an impressive bust, an intellectual beauty, and a musical prodigy, each with a distinct style and enchantingly poised, standing out like four stunning vistas, attracting the gazes of countless men. The most energetic Zhao Bingqian with sharp eyes, upon seeing Ye Haochuan, waved energetically from afar. As a student of Haishan University, Li Wenfeng¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the four women, exclaiming, ¡°Damn, Brother Ye, you are so awesome. The four top beauties of our entire school, you know them all.¡± The four top beauties? Ye Haochuan laughed, finding the title quite fitting, and said, ¡°Not really, I¡¯m just temporarily living with them, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°Damn, you¡¯re living together?¡± Lei Yiming¡¯s eyes shone brightly. ¡°If I were living with them every day, that would be too awesome.¡± ¡°By the way, Brother Ye, which one is our future sister-in-law?¡± Li Wenfeng asked with a sly smile. Ye Haochuan was speechless, and pretending to be casual, he chuckled, ¡°All of them.¡± Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming dropped their jaws to the floor in disbelief, ¡°What? All of them? All of them are our future sister-in-law?¡± Chapter 56 - 56 56 Little Devil ?56: Chapter 56 Little Devil 56: Chapter 56 Little Devil Ye Haochuan held back his laughter and said, ¡°Yes, what about it? Are you envious or jealous?¡± Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming still couldn¡¯t quite believe it. Li Wenfeng asked suspiciously, ¡°Brother Ye, you¡¯re joking, right? All four of these beauties are your women?¡± Ye Haochuan nodded proudly, ¡°Isn¡¯t that obvious? If I didn¡¯t have that much capability, would I still be your Brother Ye?¡± Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming immediately deflated like punctured balls. Damn it, if all these women are Brother Ye¡¯s, then what¡¯s the point of us trying? ¡°Alright, a friend¡¯s wife is off limits. Let¡¯s not harbor any thoughts about these four beauties,¡± Li Wenfeng said dejectedly. Lei Yiming, however, had a mischievous smile on his face. ¡°Brother Ye, I¡¯m a bit curious. Can you really handle all four of these top-notch beauties by yourself?¡± ¡°Go on, dogs can¡¯t spit out ivory,¡± Ye Haochuan glanced at him. ¡°I¡¯m known to be undefeated in the bridal chamber, a champion of seven times a night, understand?¡± Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming burst into uproarious laughter. This Brother Ye was really too funny. As they joked and laughed, the three of them reached Zhao Bingqian and the other three women. Ye Haochuan briefly introduced Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming to them. ¡°Hello to all four sisters-in-law,¡± Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming said in unison. Instantly, Ye Haochuan¡¯s face was lined with black streaks. Damn it, these two bastards definitely planned this in advance, deliberately setting me up, right? Sure enough, Zhao Bingqian and the other women covered their mouths in complete shock. Sister-in-law? Zhao Bingqian was the first to react, hands on her hips, glaring at Ye Haochuan with a bad temper. ¡°Uncle, what do you mean by this? Do you think you can push us sisters around?¡± Ye Haochuan was extremely embarrassed. These two bastards were purely seeking revenge. ¡°It¡¯s got nothing to do with me, they were the ones calling you that.¡± After saying that, Ye Haochuan glared at Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming with a murderous air. That fierce glare scared the two fools Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming, who dared not act arrogantly anymore and hurriedly apologized, claiming it was a slip of the tongue. Only then did Zhao Bingqian let Ye Haochuan off the hook. Having cleared up the misunderstanding, Ye Haochuan laughed it off. ¡°Today, I made a fortune. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I¡¯ve booked the KTV venue, let¡¯s go.¡± All four girls were stunned. You booked it? Seeing his extravagant demeanor, Zhao Bingqian felt there was something fishy and asked him about it as they walked towards the KTV. Ye Haochuan smiled without answering. So, Li Wenfeng told them about how he sold over a dozen Body-Strengthening Pills at the hotel and made a killing. ¡°Come on, Uncle, seriously? You sold them for a million each?¡± Zhao Bingqian exclaimed with wide eyes. Ye Haochuan laughed and said, ¡°What? You think I sold them for too much?¡± ¡°Not too much? It¡¯s like you practically gave them away!¡± Zhao Bingqian had an exasperated look as if she thought he was being stupid. Ye Haochuan, Li Wenfeng, and Lei Yiming were astonished. A million each was cheap? Zhang Ziyi laughed and said, ¡°Brother Ye, you probably don¡¯t know, right? This morning, didn¡¯t you give Qianqian ten Body-Strengthening Pills? Besides the four of us taking one each, the other six were snatched up by the other girls in our dormitory, and the price shot up to tens of millions each. Especially the last one, it sold for a sky-high price of sixty million!¡± Sixty million for a sky-high price! Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming were flabbergasted. Ye Haochuan winced at the thought of losing out, damn it, if I¡¯d known making money was this easy, I should¡¯ve sold them to the girls at Dormitory No. 7! The benefits of the Body-Strengthening Pill were all too clear to him, not to mention its effects on physical health, but for girls, it could beautify and preserve their appearance, as well protect and enhance their skin. Which girl wouldn¡¯t like that? Besides, the girls of Dormitory No. 7 were all from wealthy families, and for the sake of their figure and looks, who would care about money? Moreover, behind these girls, like their parents, were a whole bunch of sugar daddies, the market potential was immense! Thinking about this, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but regret inwardly, telling himself that next time he encountered someone from Hellfire, he must scavenge some more Body-Strengthening Pills. By then, it would be hard for me not to get rich! Maybe some girls would throw themselves at me like moths to a flame for the Body-Strengthening Pill, offering up their precious bodies, hehe! While he was blissfully daydreaming, Li Wenfeng sighed, ¡°Now I really feel that Brother Ye sold it too cheap.¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Lei Yiming also strongly agreed. In the midst of laughter, the group entered the Golden Age, where Ye Haochuan paid off at the cashier with a wad of cash and opened a large private room. Then, guided by a waiter, Ye Haochuan and the others went upstairs and into a private room. After the waiter brought a case of drinks, two cases of beer, and some fruit and snacks, he left and closed the door behind him. ¡°Come on, let this miss sing first.¡± Zhao Bingqian grabbed the microphone and selected Fan Xiaoxuan¡¯s ¡°Health Song¡±, singing and dancing to it. Her vibrant youthfulness captivated the three men ¨C Ye Haochuan, Li Wenfeng, and Lei Yiming ¨C making their blood boil. Once Zhao Bingqian finished her song, everyone took turns picking a song, belting out tunes and drinking beverages and beer until they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Especially Zhao Bingqian, who was the wildest of all, even after running out of drinks, she wanted to drink beer. Ye Haochuan slapped her hand away at that moment, saying, ¡°Little girl, no beer for you.¡± Zhao Bingqian puffed out her chest proudly like a princess, ¡°Uncle, where am I small?¡± Ye Haochuan glanced at her full bust and, feeling his throat go dry, said, ¡°Girls shouldn¡¯t drink beer. If you get drunk, you won¡¯t even know if someone takes advantage of you, understand?¡± ¡°Who dares to take advantage of me? I¡¯ll cripple him, make sure he can never be a man again!¡± Zhao Bingqian was fearless. Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming shrank their necks and turned pale. This little devil, her methods were vicious! Ye Haochuan helpless, whoever crosses paths with this Little Sprite is flat-out unlucky! Seeing the three boys¡¯ strange expressions, Zhang Ziyi, Su Yingxue, and Lin Qingxuan all covered their mouths and giggled. Unable to persuade her, Ye Haochuan simply let Zhao Bingqian have her way. For a while, the three men and a woman began guzzling beer, each getting a bit tipsy. Originally, Zhang Ziyi, Su Yingxue, and Lin Qingxuan were all teetotalers, but they couldn¡¯t resist Zhao Bingqian¡¯s cajoling and eventually drank a little. However, the three girls quickly succumbed to the alcohol and laid sprawled on the sofas, their flushed cheeks and half-closed eyes lazy and incredibly seductive. Ye Haochuan was still relatively unscathed, owing to his foundation in inner strength, while Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming were red-faced and their necks swollen from drinking. Zhao Bingqian even slumped straight into Ye Haochuan¡¯s arms, looking completely ready for the taking. With the fragrance of her soft body filling his arms, had it not been for the fact that they were in a KTV, Ye Haochuan might have just devoured this Little Sprite. Of course, Ye Haochuan was not Liu Xiahui, so it was inevitable for him to sneakily touch and grope the Little Sprite. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a guy with blonde hair came in, saying to Ye Haochuan, ¡°Buddy, Brother Hua invites you to join him for a drink in his private room.¡± Zhao Bingqian, a bit drunk from singing ¡°Solo Love Songs¡±, was displeased by the interruption and lashed out on the spot, ¡°Give your face a rest, go away, don¡¯t bother us while we¡¯re singing!¡± The guy with blond hair¡¯s expression darkened as he spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Beauty, do you know who Brother Hua is? Let me tell you, if you dare not go, there will be serious consequences¡­ Ouch!¡± All of a sudden, the blond guy let out a scream! Chapter 57 - 57 57 Uncle you are so perverted! ?57: 57 Chapter Uncle, you are so perverted! 57: 57 Chapter Uncle, you are so perverted! Turns out, Zhao Bingqian lost it right there and threw the microphone in her hand directly at Blondie¡¯s head. Blondie wiped his forehead, his hand came away bloody, and he was instantly furious, ¡°Bitch, you dare to hit me?¡± With a fierce momentum, he tried to rush over, swinging his fist to hit Zhao Bingqian. Ye Haochuan stood up right then and there, placing Zhao Bingqian behind him, grabbed Blondie¡¯s wrist, and stared him down, saying, ¡°Damn, you dare to hit my woman?¡± With that, he exerted strength in his hand, gradually increasing it. ¡°Brother, spare me, please spare me¡­¡± Blondie immediately started screaming in pain, feeling as if his bones were about to be crushed. Ye Haochuan then let go of his hand, gave him a push, and said, ¡°Get lost! Come harass again, and I¡¯ll break all five of your legs!¡± Five legs? Do I even have five legs? Blondie was stunned for a while before he understood the meaning, damn, not only was this guy going to cripple his four legs, but he also wanted to destroy his manhood, that¡¯s ruthless! Knowing when to back off, Blondie didn¡¯t dare linger and ran out of the private room in a panic. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s keep singing¡­ Hey, Bingqian, why are you looking at me with that lustful gaze? I¡¯m warning you, I¡¯m a gentleman who sits without chaos, I detest it when a beauty ogles me like that.¡± A gentleman? Pfft! Who was it that was just sneaking a touch? Although Zhao Bingqian had quite a few beers, she was still lucid. She gave him a look with a sneer-like smile, ¡°Uncle, what did you just say? You said I¡¯m your woman?¡± Watching her hand getting closer and closer to his ¡°Young Haochuan¡±, clearly ready to crush his family jewels if he dared admit it, Ye Haochuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly professed with righteousness, ¡°No no no¡­¡± Zhao Bingqian then withdrew her hand, her lips curving up slightly with a look of contempt, ¡°Hmph, all lust and no guts¡­ Alright, let¡¯s keep singing¡­ ¡®Unable to grasp love, you always watch it slip away, there are happy people all over the world, why can¡¯t you be one of them¡­''¡± Her exaggerated singing and swaying body captivated Ye Haochuan, who internally lamented, damn, is this little sprite hinting at something? Shit, if you rouse me, I¡¯ll really have you! Watching Brother Ye being teased into a dumbfounded state, Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming on the side couldn¡¯t help but laugh until they were out of breath. Just then, with a loud bang, the door was kicked open by someone, and a group of fierce-looking people walked in. Ye Haochuan looked up and saw the leader was Blondie, and beside him was a slick-haired sleazebag. Behind them followed seven or eight KTV staff members in uniform. ¡°Brother Hua, it was that chick who threw the microphone at me!¡± Blondie pointed at Zhao Bingqian and yelled out loud. Ye Haochuan raised an eyebrow, so this slick-haired guy was the infamous Brother Hua, huh? Damn, why does he look so sleazy? At that moment, Cheng Hua¡¯s icy gaze first swept over Ye Haochuan, Li Wenfeng, and Lei Yiming, then settled on Zhao Bingqian, his eyes growing hot, unable to look away for a long time! Little did he know that this annoyed Zhao Bingqian, ¡°What are you looking at? Never seen a beauty before?¡± Brother Hua gave a sound of realization, admiring the firecracker personality and charm of this beauty! ¡°Hehe, beauty, allow me to introduce myself, I am Cheng Hua, the owner of this KTV. How about it, honor me by sharing a drink? My treat,¡± Cheng Hua said, doing his best to suppress his anger, smiling. ¡°Get lost!¡± Zhao Bingqian responded directly. Cheng Hua¡¯s expression began to sour, ¡°Beauty, don¡¯t be so unkind, will you?¡± Zhao Bingqian snorted, ¡°Give you face? Who do you think you are? Why should I give you face? Get lost, don¡¯t interrupt our singing!¡± ¡°Damn it, ungrateful bitch!¡± Cheng Hua¡¯s already ugly expression grew even darker. Blondie, seeing this, barked out, ¡°You stinky lady, I dare you to say that to our Brother Hua again.¡± ¡°If you want me to say it again, I¡¯ll say it again, you have the guts to bite me, huh! You idiot, didn¡¯t you see her boyfriend is right here?¡± With that, Zhao Bingqian wrapped her arms around Ye Haochuan¡¯s arm and acted coquettishly, ¡°Honey, you have to protect me, that jerk is insulting me.¡± This little fairy, dropping the ¡°uncle¡± and suddenly switching to calling him ¡°honey¡±! Shit, do they think I¡¯m stupid? They¡¯re clearly using me as their damn scapegoat! As he said this, Ye Haochuan stopped the restless Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming with an imposing command, ¡°You two watch over these four girls. I¡¯ll handle these jumping clowns myself.¡± Without bodyguards by their side, Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming would definitely not be a match for Cheng Hua and his men, so they obediently followed Ye Haochuan¡¯s arrangements. ¡°Fuck, what are you guys standing around for? Didn¡¯t you hear him calling us jumping clowns?¡± Cheng Hua barked. The KTV servers behind him immediately rolled up their sleeves. With Blondie leading the way, they grabbed the empty bottles scattered all over the floor and rushed forward aggressively. ¡°A bunch of clueless fools. Well, today you¡¯ll get a taste of the Bone Fracture Hand!¡± Ye Haochuan said with a cold laugh, advancing rather than retreating. Now, he already saw himself as part of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, with Dragon Roar Tian backing him up from behind. Who was there to fear? Besides, it wasn¡¯t about killing, but self-defense. Who asked these people to challenge the dignity of an Ancient Martial Artist? With a swish, Blondie only felt a blur before his eyes, and Ye Haochuan had already closed the gap between them. ¡°Not good!¡± Blondie had just uttered ¡°crap¡± when Ye Haochuan¡¯s hands suddenly shifted from palms to claws, reaching out fiercely. Schwit! Blondie¡¯s chest clothing was torn apart by Ye Haochuan¡¯s grasp, and ten bloody claw marks appeared on his chest muscles instantly. With a scream, Blondie¡¯s offensive faltered, and Ye Haochuan, seizing the advantage, did not relent and grabbed at both of his arms in quick succession. Crack! Crack! Two crisp sounds followed, and both of Blondie¡¯s arms were crushed, causing him to howl in pain. He curled up like a prawn, writhing on the ground! The group of servers following behind all changed color at this sight. ¡°This is getting messy, let¡¯s bail!¡± Cheng Hua saw things going south and took off running. The servers didn¡¯t dare linger, scrambling out the door, leaving Blondie on the ground, screaming incessantly. ¡°Damn, too noisy!¡± Ye Haochuan kicked Blondie out of the room with one foot. The private room suddenly became quiet. But shortly after, Li Wenfeng, Lei Yiming, and the four girls Zhao Bingqian cheered in unison. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Wenfeng gave a thumbs up and said, ¡°Brother Ye, you were so badass just now!¡± Lei Yiming chimed in, ¡°More than badass, I¡¯d say utterly dominant and imposing!¡± Zhao Bingqian¡¯s eyes widened as she said, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re so twisted!¡± ¡°Twisted?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s face went as black as Judge Bao¡¯s on the spot. Was this supposed to be a compliment or an insult? Everyone couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing. At that moment, rushed footsteps were heard from outside. When Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes, he saw a dense crowd of thugs surging through the corridor, each brandishing knives and sticks, charging with ferocity. Looking towards the end of the corridor, he saw Cheng Hua hiding in the back, with a look of excitement as if he was watching a thrilling scene unfold. Fuck, you want a show? I¡¯ll give you one hell of a show today! Ye Haochuan sneered. Chapter 58 - 58 58 Get out! ?58: Chapter 58 Get out! (Added one more chapter) 58: Chapter 58 Get out! (Added one more chapter) Stepping through the door, Ye Haochuan coldly surveyed the thugs surging from both sides of the corridor. That look in his eye clearly deemed them no better than chickens and dogs, a rabble to be dismissed. Seeing his composure, the charging thugs dared not rashly attack and formed a semicircular ring around him as their center. One who looked like the gang leader stepped forward, glanced at Blondie who was beaten half to death on the ground, and barked, ¡°Take Blondie away, and rush him to the hospital.¡± Immediately, two thugs stepped forward and helped Blondie away. Only then did the gang leader point at Ye Haochuan¡¯s nose and shout, ¡°You little punk, daring to run wild on Brother Hua¡¯s turf in broad daylight, I think you¡¯ve grown tired of living.¡± ¡°So what if I am?¡± Ye Haochuan sneered. The gang leader¡¯s face darkened instantly and he cursed, ¡°Motherfucker, clueless fool, now you have two choices. First, prepare a hundred thousand, as compensation for Blondie¡¯s medical expenses. Second, if you don¡¯t have the money to compensate, send out the four chicks in your room to let our Brother Hua have a good night¡­¡± Before he could finish, Ye Haochuan barked, ¡°Have a good night your ass! Piss off!¡± With that roar, he directly employed the effect of Lion¡¯s Roar, making the gang leader¡¯s head reel and his ears ring incessantly. After a while, the gang leader finally recovered, furious, ¡°Motherfucker, give face and you don¡¯t take it, then I¡¯ll let my brothers loosen your bones and let you know what¡¯s what.¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯ll beat me to death,¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s face darkened completely. By now, those seven or eight thugs had already pounced. Ye Haochuan snorted coldly and, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, began a massacre. Soon, the thugs strewn across the floor, under the tyranny of his Bone Fracture Hand, were all wailing on the ground. Cheng Hua, who had been enjoying the show from the end of the corridor, jumped in fright at this scene, damn, who is this guy? So badass! Actually, Cheng Hua had no idea that this was the result of Ye Haochuan holding back; otherwise, they would have been bleeding from seven orifices and dead already. Suddenly, one of his minions panicked, ¡°Brother Hua, run! That guy is coming after us!¡± Cheng Hua looked over to see Ye Haochuan charging at them and got a fright. Taking advantage of the familiar environment, he disappeared in no time. Ye Haochuan, unable to catch up, could only withdraw sullenly. Just as he was returning, Cheng Hua, who had desperately hidden in the women¡¯s restroom, quickly whipped out his cell phone and dialed his father¡¯s number, pleading with a sob on his face, ¡°Dad, come quickly with someone. Someone¡¯s smashing our place! Hurry up¡­¡± Ye Haochuan returned to the private room and called Li Wenfeng and the others over. ¡°Uncle, why are you so perverted? How did you manage to deal with so many thugs so effortlessly?¡± Zhao Bingqian asked. Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Call me hubby, and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± ¡°Dream on!¡± Zhao Bingqian rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you call me that just now?¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless. ¡°Did I call you that just now? I called you laborer, as in a labor worker, got it?¡± Zhao Bingqian argued. Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth on the spot. This little sprite, really taking advantage of me, just you wait. Watching him puff up with irritation, Zhang Ziyi, Su Yingxue, and Lin Qingxuan couldn¡¯t help but snicker, while Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming burst into laughter, uncontrollably amused. In their view, Brother Ye, with his explosive fighting prowess, being deflated by a wily beauty like Zhao Bingqian, was truly one of life¡¯s great oddities. Fearing that the little sprite would press further, Ye Haochuan changed the subject, ¡°Alright, it¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s head back.¡± Having just caused a huge commotion, the others had the same thought and so they returned to the room, collected their belongings, and prepared to leave. However, at that moment, a series of urgent footsteps sounded down the corridor. Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart grew tense. Switching on his Perspective Eyes, he saw that little punk Cheng Hua had returned, accompanied by a large group of police officers. The leader of the pack was none other than his father, the precinct captain of this area, Cheng Gang, who Cheng Hua had called. As soon as they reached the door of the private room, Cheng Gang shouted at Ye Haochuan and the others, ¡°Dammit, daring to make trouble in my jurisdiction, do you not want to live?¡± Ye Haochuan and the others frowned, glaring coldly at Cheng Gang. ¡°Huazai, who was fighting here just now?¡± Cheng Hua immediately pointed at Ye Haochuan, ¡°It was him!¡± Cheng Gang then bellowed, ¡°You little brat, who gave you the right to beat people? We need to investigate this thoroughly. Take him away!¡± With that, he waved a big hand. Immediately, two policemen behind him, full of bluster, moved to arrest Ye Haochuan. At this point, Li Wenfeng, Lei Yiming, and the four women including Zhao Bingqian were unwilling to stand for it. Zhao Bingqian, buoyed by alcohol, stepped up and demanded, ¡°You haven¡¯t even figured out what happened, on what basis are you arresting people?¡± ¡°On what basis? Humph, because I¡¯m the precinct captain!¡± Cheng Gang shouted loudly. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing such arrogance from a precinct captain, rich heirs like Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming immediately flared up with anger. Li Wenfeng was the first to raise his voice loudly, ¡°Motherfucker, a measly precinct captain dares to flex in front of me?¡± Lei Yiming also pointed at Cheng Gang and cursed, ¡°Do you know who we are? Dammit, blind fool, take your men and get lost now, otherwise, you¡¯ll all be in a world of trouble.¡± Both heirs, in their esteemed statuses, knew many wealthy and influential people. When had they ever taken a small-time precinct captain seriously? The atmosphere was tense, as if they were on the brink of coming to blows. Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming turned pale at the sight, their noble status notwithstanding, bullets do not have eyes. Both of them were grinding their teeth in anger, thinking how different it would be if they had brought their bodyguards today. At this moment, Ye Haochuan sneered, ¡°Captain Cheng, are you saying you¡¯re determined to pin this shit on us?¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª PS: Seeing everyone clamoring for updates, all right, I¡¯ll add one more chapter today. Thank you for your support. Maybe you can throw in some recommendation tickets? Of course, I welcome rewards too! Ha! Chapter 59 - 59 59 Smash them all for me! ?59: Chapter 59: Smash them all for me! 59: Chapter 59: Smash them all for me! Hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s words, Cheng Gang roared loudly, ¡°Bullshit! What do you mean ¡®trying to pin the blame on us¡¯? It¡¯s clear that you guys were causing trouble while drunk, not only smashing someone with a microphone but also beating them half to death. There¡¯s both witness and physical evidence; you can¡¯t deny it!¡± ¡°Bullshit!¡± Zhao Bingqian was furious, rebuking fiercely, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your son, this piece of trash coming to provoke us, would any of this have happened?¡± S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Cheng Gang chuckled, ¡°So what if my son provoked you? Let me tell you, pretty girl, today either you pay up, or you spend the night with me and my son¡ªtake your pick.¡± After speaking, Cheng Gang¡¯s eyes narrowed as he continuously ogled Zhao Bingqian and the other three women, his face lecherous and sleazy. His son, Cheng Hua, also chuckled, seemingly treating Zhao Bingqian and the other three women as if they were already his to take. Li Wenfeng, Lei Yiming, and the four girls including Zhao Bingqian were all furious upon hearing this, about to rebuke harshly, when Ye Haochuan suddenly spoke with a smirk, ¡°Then we¡¯ll pay the money, tell us, how much do we owe you?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve injured quite a few of my people here, the medical fees and emotional distress compensation, let¡¯s call it an even ten million,¡± Cheng Hua snorted. ¡°Ten million?¡± Ye Haochuan sneered, it was clear they were making an extortionate demand. ¡°Ten million? You look more like ten million yourself!¡± Li Wenfeng exclaimed angrily. Lei Yiming chimed in, ¡°Shit, ten million? Why don¡¯t you just go rob a bank?¡± Zhao Bingqian and the other three girls also expressed their indignation loudly, accusing Cheng Hua of making an outrageous demand. Seeing the crowd¡¯s rising anger, Cheng Gang shouted, ¡°Everyone calm down, my gun doesn¡¯t have eyes, and if someone gets hurt, don¡¯t blame me.¡± Cheng Hua then said, ¡°Shit, what¡¯s with all the chirping? A few of my boys got seriously hurt by you guys, ten million is asking for too little! Keep blabbering, and it¡¯ll be fifty million!¡± ¡°Fifty million?¡± Ye Haochuan and the others were completely infuriated; this was clearly blatant robbery! ¡°What, can¡¯t pay up?¡± Cheng Hua sneered, ¡°It¡¯s okay if you can¡¯t afford it. I¡¯ve already made myself clear earlier, there¡¯s another way¡ªthat is, letting these four beauties spend the night with me and my father¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re all my women, I¡¯d advise you not to have any crooked ideas about them,¡± Ye Haochuan scoffed. Upon hearing this, Zhao Bingqian and the other three girls blushed, each thinking, ¡®Who¡¯s your woman, shameless!¡¯ However, given the special situation, none of the girls came forward to argue. Jealousy appeared on Cheng Hua¡¯s face: ¡°Shit, in the end, it¡¯s the pretty boy who¡¯s good at seducing women. But even if they¡¯re all your girlfriends, what does it matter? There¡¯s never been a woman we wanted that we couldn¡¯t have.¡± Saying this, Cheng Hua turned his head to a few thugs behind him and said, ¡°Go, grab those four chicks for me.¡± The thugs thunderously agreed. Li Wenfeng and Lei Yiming quickly shielded the four women behind them, while Ye Haochuan stepped forward, blocking their front. Remembering how he had shown his divine might just before, the thugs hesitated to approach out of fear. Cheng Gang immediately raised his gun and yelled, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, you¡¯d fucking well get out of the way!¡± Seeing Ye Haochuan apparently intimidated, not daring to move, Cheng Hua stepped up and threw a punch straight at Ye Haochuan¡¯s face, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you to be arrogant¡­ ouch!¡± But Ye Haochuan suddenly lunged forward with the speed of lightning, grabbing Cheng Hua¡¯s neck and holding him hostage. Seeing his son suddenly in the hands of Ye Haochuan, Cheng Gang was dumbfounded on the spot. Meanwhile, Li Wenfeng, Lei Yiming, and the four women including Zhao Bingqian kept cheering. This Brother Ye wasn¡¯t only handsome; he was devastatingly so even in a fight! After a while, Cheng Gang came to his senses, held up the gun, and said franticly and angrily, ¡°Damn it, you¡¯re on the brink of death, and you dare to take my son hostage? I¡¯ll give you three seconds to let him go.¡± Ye Haochuan was completely unmoved, not only clutching Cheng Hua¡¯s neck tightly but also lifting him high with one hand, chuckled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to let him go, what are you gonna do about it?¡± Seeing his son¡¯s face turning red in mid-air, Cheng Gang was so angry that he stomped his feet. However, since Ye Haochuan was being so aggressive, Cheng Gang had no choice but to temporarily back down, saying, ¡°Young man, let¡¯s talk this out, let¡¯s talk¡­¡± ¡°Talk about what, shit?¡± Ye Haochuan shouted, ¡°Get your men out of here now!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes¡­¡± Cheng Gang agreed quickly, but he only retreated a distance and still surrounded Ye Haochuan and his group. At this moment, Li Wenfeng¡¯s phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, he whispered excitedly, ¡°Brother Ye, my bodyguards have arrived!¡± Ye Haochuan was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said, ¡°Tell them to come up quickly. Damn, such a small KTV dares to be so arrogant. Today, let¡¯s make a big move and smash this KTV.¡± During the conversation, a domineering presence emanated from him. ¡°Smash the KTV?¡± Li Wenfeng¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell them to come up right away.¡± Three minutes later, easily a hundred armed bodyguards rushed over, and their menacing presence scared the living daylights out of Cheng Gang and his crew. The square-faced bodyguard at the front shouted, ¡°Young Master Feng, are you all right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Li Wenfeng said, then pointed at Cheng Gang and his group, and shouted loudly, ¡°Hong Biao, confiscate their guns for me!¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Feng.¡± The square-faced bodyguard named Hong Biao gestured with a wide sweep of his arm. Cheng Gang¡¯s face changed, and he shouted, ¡°What are you doing? This is assaulting an officer. Assaulting an officer is a crime, you know that?¡± ¡°Commit your mother¡¯s crime, you¡¯re just a small local police station chief, yet you knowingly break the law, acting as a shield for the KTV operated by your own son, who¡¯s the real criminal?¡± Ye Haochuan barked. Li Wenfeng shouted, ¡°What are you all waiting for? Disarm them all!¡± At once, a crowd of bodyguards, guns in hand, moved forward together. ¡°Drop your weapons now, or we¡¯ll shoot!¡± ¡°Drop the weapons, quickly!¡± ¡°Drop your weapons and put your hands on your heads!¡± After a series of shouts, Cheng Gang and the policemen¡¯s guns had to be confiscated, and they knelt on the ground with their heads held, taken into immediate custody. Most of the police officers were submissive, only Cheng Gang was still belligerent and unyielding, ¡°You bastards, do you no longer care for your lives? Do you know how serious assaulting an officer is?¡± Hong Biao kicked him in the chest and cursed, ¡°Keep yourself together! Make another peep, and I¡¯ll shoot you dead!¡± Hong Biao, a former Special Forces soldier, who had clawed his way up from a pile of corpses, carried an aura of decisive cold ruthlessness. His glare alone frightened Cheng Gang into utter silence, daring not to make another sound. Seeing the situation was under control, Ye Haochuan tossed Cheng Hua to the ground and then gave Li Wenfeng a meaningful look. Li Wenfeng caught on and shouted, ¡°Damn it, this KTV clearly colludes with authorities. Smash everything here for me.¡± Cheng Gang and his son Cheng Hua immediately wore pained expressions. This KTV was contracted from the Golden Age Entertainment Center; if it were smashed, how could they afford to compensate? Hong Biao promptly began to delegate tasks: ¡°Leave twenty people in charge of keeping watch and maintaining order, for everyone else, start smashing!¡± Chapter 60 - 60 60 Let me smash it one more time! ?60: Chapter 60: Let me smash it one more time! 60: Chapter 60: Let me smash it one more time! Upon receiving Hong Biao¡¯s order, the bodyguards immediately snatched the batons from the hands of the security guards and started to wildly smash everything in sight. In no time, seventy to eighty bodyguards descended like a swarm of locusts, wrecking every single private room they stormed into, no matter what was inside, smashing everything to bits. The guests who had been singing happily in the private rooms panicked and fled in all directions, while the braver ones stayed behind to watch the chaos from a distance. The commotion was so great that it even alarmed Wu Hualong, the owner of Golden Age Entertainment City. However, Wu Hualong wasn¡¯t at the entertainment city at the time; he impulsively instructed Manager Hou of the entertainment city to immediately take action and calm the situation. Manager Hou then briskly led the security team of the entertainment city towards the fourth floor. However, upon reaching the fourth floor and seeing the corridor filled with men wearing sunglasses, clad in black suits, and looking bewildered, they hesitated to advance, and some of the more timid ones had already fled in fear. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Manager Hou didn¡¯t dare to confront it and immediately made a call to the police station. After a short ten minutes, around two hundred personnel arrived, led by Wang Qiang. But as soon as they reached the scene, Hong Biao arrogantly revealed the Li Family¡¯s influence to Wang Qiang, saying, ¡°Captain Wang, I advise you to mind your own business. This little KTV has been colluding with people in your system, not only extorting Young Master Feng but also attempting to take possession of several of his female friends. The evidence is irrefutable. You cannot intervene, or it will seem like you¡¯re covering up for them.¡± Wang Qiang, realizing they were bodyguards of Li Tianwei, a wealthy tycoon of Haishan, furrowed his brow and said, ¡°Comrade Hong, this doesn¡¯t seem right. With such disturbance, if we don¡¯t take action, wouldn¡¯t the responsibility fall on us?¡± At this point, Ye Haochuan stepped forward with a grave tone, ¡°Captain Wang, you¡¯re not quite correct there. A corrupt element like Cheng Gang remained undetected within your ranks for so long, you never handled it, so now let us take good care of it.¡± Wang Qiang was taken aback when he saw Ye Haochuan at the scene, thinking to himself that things were getting troublesome. With the formidable Ye Haochuan present, the situation had just escalated. Grinding his teeth, Wang Qiang consented, ¡°Fine, smash it if you must, but hand over those main culprits to us for a thorough questioning.¡± Ye Haochuan immediately rejected the offer, ¡°No way, Cheng Gang is one of yours. If you take him away now, what if you destroy the evidence? Wouldn¡¯t our efforts be in vain?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Wang Qiang frowned. At that moment, a woman¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Ye Haochuan, what do you mean by this? Don¡¯t you trust us, or are you looking down on us?¡± Ye Haochuan turned his head and saw the speaker was none other than Chen Yushan, with whom he had once had an encounter. Chen Yushan still wore her black uniform, looking valiant and imposing. However, with a standard-issue pistol in her hand, she seemed even more lethal, demanding a level of respect no one could ignore. ¡°Heh, where is this coming from? When there¡¯s a rat in your ranks, shouldn¡¯t you recuse yourselves?¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled. Chen Yushan countered with a snort, ¡°You¡¯re not a law enforcement agency, just a private militia. What right do you have to enforce the law? Ye Haochuan, I know you have powerful backing, and we can¡¯t afford to provoke you, but that¡¯s no excuse for you to act as you please. If you insist on this path, then I, Chen Yushan, will defend our dignity, even at the cost of my life.¡± Damn, this female officer really has character! Ye Haochuan pondered for a moment, then with a straightforward attitude said, ¡°Alright, just for the sake of the beautiful lady here, I¡¯ll give you some face. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You can take the people, but as for this KTV, we won¡¯t back down until we¡¯ve trashed it thoroughly, and that¡¯s none of your business. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for turning hostile and not recognizing anyone.¡± Wang Qiang discussed with his subordinates for a moment and softened his tone, ¡°I¡¯ll repeat myself, you can smash as you like, but you can¡¯t harm the innocents.¡± ¡°Of course¡­¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled with a hehe. After saying that, Ye Haochuan called over Hong Biao and let him allow passage. Hong Biao had been well aware of the relationship between Ye Haochuan and Young Master Feng, where would he dare to resist, and he complied immediately. Wang Qiang then took a group of people into the scene, leaving Chen Yushan with some people keeping watch outside. Before leaving, Ye Haochuan hehe smiled at her, ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that you wouldn¡¯t let the men outdo you, let me tell you, there hasn¡¯t been a woman who dared to be so arrogant in front of me.¡± Chen Yushan couldn¡¯t be bothered with him, merely snorting, her puckered lips irresistible. Having been snubbed, Ye Haochuan smiled awkwardly and had a sudden thought, ¡°Right, Officer Chen, has your menstrual disorder improved? I¡¯ll reiterate, if it worsens, you must call me. I would even make a house call to assist you in your time of need, haha¡­¡± Seeing him speak of such an embarrassing matter as casually as drinking plain water, Chen Yushan¡¯s cheeks flushed with rage, and she snapped, ¡°Fuck off!¡± After his fun teasing, Ye Haochuan walked away with a triumphant laugh. On the other side, Cheng Gang had already met with Wang Qiang and kept begging, ¡°Captain Wang, please, I implore you to be lenient with your men.¡± Wang Qiang had an expression of frustration as if hating that iron could not turn into steel, and shook his head, ¡°Old Cheng, Old Cheng, who the hell provoked you to mess with Ye Haochuan?¡± ¡°Ye Haochuan, which Ye Haochuan?¡± Cheng Gang was utterly confused. Wang Qiang pointed to Ye Haochuan, who was passing by not far away, ¡°That one.¡± He then recounted the incident when Ye Haochuan caused a ruckus at the station and was finally reluctantly released by the police. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s him!¡± Cheng Gang regretted so much that his intestines turned green. He had also heard about Ye Haochuan making a scene at the station and didn¡¯t expect he had actually bumped into the man himself; no wonder the other party was so arrogant. As he thought more about it, he grew even more furious, and with a slap, he knocked his son to the ground, berating him fiercely, ¡°You idiot; your father has doomed you!¡± After speaking, he followed it with a beatdown, and the once extremely arrogant Cheng Hua was now totally reduced to a beaten dog, utterly pathetic. Wang Qiang quickly pulled him back, ¡°Old Cheng, the best course of action now is to think of a way to appease Ye Haochuan and turn a big problem into a small one, a small problem into nothing. Otherwise, if he insists on bearing a grudge, you and your son might as well give up hope of ever getting out of jail.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Gang¡¯s face turned ashen, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, rushing up to Ye Haochuan as he approached, ¡°Brother Ye, we were blind and offended Brother Ye just now. We are willing to take full responsibility. I only ask that Brother Ye be generous and spare us, father and son. I am willing to offer one million as a conciliatory gesture¡­¡± Ye Haochuan snorted, ¡°Damn it, you and your son dared to have dirty thoughts about my woman, and now you want me to let you go? Wishful thinking!¡± As Cheng Gang turned a shade of grey, thinking it was over, unexpectedly Ye Haochuan suddenly chuckled with a hehe, ¡°If you want me to let you and your son off the hook, it¡¯s possible. Just renovate your KTV again and let me smash it one more time, then we¡¯ll call it even.¡± Chapter 61 - 61 61 Is Your Sister a Beauty ?61: Chapter 61: Is Your Sister a Beauty? 61: Chapter 61: Is Your Sister a Beauty? ¡°This¡­¡± When Haochuan said he was going to smash it again, Cheng Gang choked on the spot. At this moment, he truly had to swallow his teeth, broken as they were. This KTV was a major investment for him and his son, and they had just opened recently. Now, it was smashed to ruins, causing heavy losses. Now, Haochuan wanted him to refurbish and then smash it again, which was even more ruthless than simply compensating him in cash! Not to mention the substantial funds for repairs, their reputation would be trashed, and both father and son would become a laughingstock wherever they went. But under the circumstances, Cheng Gang dared not say no. To keep the big issues small and the small ones non-existent, he first had to appease Haochuan. As for the multitude of troubles that lay ahead, especially the looming threat of jail, he could only slowly find ways to resolve them. Thinking this, Cheng Gang gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Alright, Brother Ye, I agree.¡± Watching the old dog¡¯s expression, more painful than death, Haochuan felt an immense satisfaction inside and left with a large laugh. Cheng Gang felt a huge relief, but still staggered and almost fell. ¡­ Upon leaving Golden Age Entertainment City, Wenfeng, Lei Yiming, and the four girls including Bingqian were still raving about Haochuan¡¯s fiendishly clever move. ¡°Brother Ye, I am really impressed! You actually thought of such a devious scheme. Haha, once he finishes the renovations, we¡¯ll smash it again, that Cheng Gang old kid will absolutely bleed badly,¡± Wenfeng laughed. Lei Yiming and the four girls including Bingqian also echoed in agreement, all visibly excited and elated. Haochuan laughed and said, ¡°To deal with such scum of a father and son, you need to teach them an unforgettable harsh lesson. I can tell, this old dog Cheng Gang has deep-rooted connections in the police station. Throwing him in jail won¡¯t last; he¡¯ll be out soon enough. It¡¯s better to make him bleed heavily instead.¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. Wenfeng suddenly chimed in eagerly, ¡°Brother Ye, once their renovations are complete, I¡¯ll personally lead the team to smash it, how about that?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Everyone burst into laughter again, especially the four girls, who giggled uncontrollably, captivating to behold. ¡°Everyone, tonight I am returning to Qingyuan. If you have time, you can visit Qingyuan University; I¡¯ll host and make sure you all have a great time,¡± Lei Yiming suddenly said. Having interacted for a while, everyone was aware that Lei Yiming was studying in Qingyuan and they all wished him a safe journey. Lei Yiming smiled and expressed his thanks. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s getting late, let¡¯s call it a day,¡± Haochuan smiled. Afterward, everyone went their separate ways, leaving behind a large crowd at Golden Age Entertainment City buzzing with discussion. Twenty minutes later, Wu Hualong, the owner of Golden Age Entertainment City, arrived in a hurry. Wu Hualong was in his forties, with a face full of crosswise meats, and a burly physique, covered in fierce tattoos, clearly a tough character. After hearing the full story from Manager Hou, Wu¡¯s face darkened with chilly anger: ¡°Damn it, it was Li Tianwei¡¯s son who smashed my place, completely disregarding me and not putting our Yongsheng Group in his eyes either.¡± It turned out that though Wu Hualong was the nominal owner of Golden Age, the real behind-the-scenes owner was Sun Yongsheng, the president of Yongsheng Group. Wu Hualong immediately took out his phone and called Sun Yongsheng, reporting the incident of Wenfeng causing havoc. ¡°What? Li Tianwei¡¯s damn son actually went and smashed our place?¡± Sun Yongsheng was furious. ¡°Yes, President Sun.¡± Wu Hualong was seething with hatred, ¡°President Sun, that Li Tianwei¡¯s son is too arrogant. If we don¡¯t take back our territory, I won¡¯t be able to calm down.¡± ¡°Hualong, what the hell were you doing? When Li Tianwei¡¯s bastard came to smash the place, why the hell didn¡¯t you fight him? You have me backing you, what are you afraid of?¡± Sun Yongsheng roared. Wu Hualong grimaced and said, ¡°President Sun, what you don¡¯t know is that there¡¯s someone with Li Wenfeng, incredibly capable. They brought over two hundred people, but as soon as they saw him, they wilted, and didn¡¯t dare let out a fart. How could my guys dare to challenge him?¡± ¡°Damn, who is that guy? I don¡¯t believe that more than two hundred people can¡¯t take down one person?¡± As he said this, Sun Yongsheng suddenly trembled, ¡°Shit, it won¡¯t be Ye Haochuan, that kid, right?¡± His suspicion was because Li Wenfeng and Ye Haochuan were closely connected. ¡°Right, it¡¯s that kid.¡± Wu Hualong suddenly paused, ¡°President Sun, you know Ye Haochuan?¡± Without answering directly, Sun Yongsheng cursed, ¡°Damn, it¡¯s that fucking guy again!¡± Wu Hualong paused, then said, ¡°So, President Sun, what should we do next? S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Should I arrange for someone to teach that kid a lesson?¡± Teach that kid a lesson? With you? Sun Yongsheng said irritably, ¡°Alright, Hualong, stay out of this matter. Remember, don¡¯t mess with that kid, you¡¯re not in his league.¡± After hanging up, Sun Yongsheng dialed another number, ¡°Old Xing, how are things going? Have you made contact with Fang Ba¡¯s brothers?¡± The one called Old Xing said, ¡°President Sun, Fang Ba¡¯s brothers are elusive. Our guys have been staking out for two days now and haven¡¯t seen them return, but we will continue to stake out, not returning until they do.¡± Sun Yongsheng was slightly disappointed, but still offered some encouragement before hanging up. ¡°Ye Haochuan, I¡¯ll let you be arrogant for a few more days!¡± A cold and sharp light flashed in Sun Yongsheng¡¯s eyes. ¡­ By the time he returned to his dorm at the university, it was nearly dusk. Since all four girls had drunk alcohol and were a bit dizzy, they all went back to their rooms to sleep. With nothing else to do, Ye Haochuan sat cross-legged in his room and practiced the Longevity Technique. He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed when his phone rang, showing an unfamiliar number. Ye Haochuan felt a chill in his heart, no need to say, it was definitely Dragon Roar calling beyond doubt. As soon as he answered, it was indeed the case! But Dragon Roar had nothing good to say, ¡°Look at you, kid, how long has it been and you¡¯ve ¨C damn it ¨C caused trouble again? Your guts are getting bigger!¡± Ye Haochuan immediately understood, it must be about his affair at the Golden Age, that he had found out, but he wasn¡¯t unnerved, he chuckled, ¡°Brother Long, it wasn¡¯t me looking for trouble! It¡¯s that Cheng Gang and his son are total assholes, I can endure my uncle but not my aunt!¡± He then detailed the specifics of the incident. ¡°Forget it, in this case, you¡¯re justified, kid. I can¡¯t be bothered to haggle¡­ By the way, I have some good news for you. I¡¯ve already handled your internal identity verification with our Ancient Martial Arts Sect. From now on, you are one of us, an Ancient Martial Artist.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Ye Haochuan was thrilled, this was indeed great news. ¡°Tomorrow, my people will arrive secretly in Haishan. Go meet her, she¡¯s a girl named Long Piaoying, my sister. She¡¯s bringing you some things, just go and receive them. Anything unfamiliar, you can ask her for guidance.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded, then suddenly chuckled, ¡°Brother Long, is your sister a beauty?¡± Chapter 62 - 62 62 Didnt See That Coming! ?62: Chapter 62: Didn¡¯t See That Coming! 62: Chapter 62: Didn¡¯t See That Coming! ¡°Scram!¡± Long Xiaotian cursed, ¡°I¡¯m warning you, kid, don¡¯t you dare lay a finger on my sister, hear me?¡± Ye Haochuan was not the least bit scared and said with a chuckle, ¡°Brother Long, the way you¡¯re talking, it¡¯s as if I¡¯m some Chen Shimei or something. Let me tell you, don¡¯t think so lowly of me. What if it¡¯s your sister who has her sights set on me?¡± sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Bullshit! I know my own sister better than anyone. If it wasn¡¯t to keep a secret, I wouldn¡¯t have let her go to Haishan by herself. Ye Haochuan, listen good, I couldn¡¯t care less about you messing with other girls, but if you dare touch my sister, huh, just wait and see!¡± With that, Long Xiaotian hung up the call. Ye Haochuan shook his head. Brother Long was alright in all aspects, but he was just too rigid. Alright, you don¡¯t want me messing with her, that¡¯s fine, but a little flirting should be okay, right? With that thought, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but let his imagination run wild, tsk tsk, Long Piaoying, just hearing the name gets one excited! After fantasizing for a while, Ye Haochuan continued his cultivation of the Longevity Technique¡­ No telling how much time had passed when his phone rang again. Damn, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s Brother Long calling again? Annoyed by the interruption to his practice, Ye Haochuan was a bit irked as he picked up the phone. However, this time it wasn¡¯t some unknown number, but rather, it was that beautiful police officer Chen Yushan calling. What does she want at this hour? Ye Haochuan was suspicious for a moment, then his eyes lit up, hey, don¡¯t tell me her condition has worsened, and she¡¯s asking for my help? Pressing the answer button, Ye Haochuan laughed, ¡°Officer Chen, what brings you to call me so late at night?¡± ¡°Doctor Ye¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m in so much pain, could you please come to my place and treat me?¡± Officer Chen¡¯s voice was clearly strained, trembling, obviously in unbearable pain. ¡°Heh, Officer Chen, how about it? Now you know I wasn¡¯t lying, right?¡± Ye Haochuan said with joy in his voice. Damn, I told you before, but you wouldn¡¯t listen, now you know how awesome I am, don¡¯t you? ¡°Doctor Ye, please hurry, hurry¡­¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s last words were almost gasped out with her last breath. Realizing that her condition was indeed serious, Ye Haochuan put aside his teasing demeanor and asked, ¡°Where do you live?¡± ¡°I¡¯m at Mingyang Residential Area, Building 4¡­ Unit five¡­ 20th floor¡­ Room 2002.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded his head. It wasn¡¯t far away, so he said, ¡°Alright, I got it. Clench your teeth and hold on for ten minutes, I¡¯ll be there right away.¡± After hanging up the phone, Ye Haochuan grabbed Zhao Bingqian¡¯s car keys, took the Copper Furnace and some medicinal herbs, and went straight downstairs. He jumped into the red BMW, and in no time, the car roared like a steel monster as it burst out of the parking lot of Building 7, then out of the school gate, heading towards Mingyang Residential Area. Eight minutes later, Ye Haochuan appeared at the door of Room 2002 in Building 4, Unit five, of Mingyang Residential Area. He rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened to reveal Chen Yushan leaning painfully against the door frame, hands clutching her abdomen, pale-faced, sweating beads the size of beans. Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart ached at the sight, and he quickly went forward to support her shoulder, saying, ¡°Officer Chen, please sit down on the couch.¡± The softness of her body made Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart race. Chen Yushan didn¡¯t make a sound; the immense pain had robbed her of even the strength to speak. With the emergency at hand, Ye Haochuan could no longer afford to care about propriety, and he immediately picked up Chen Yushan and carried her to the living room. After laying Chen Yushan down on the sofa, Ye Haochuan massaged her lower abdomen, and his warm True Qi roamed inside her, bringing her to the height of comfort. With her pain diminished, Chen Yushan gently sat up, leaning on the sofa, and said with a blush, ¡°Mr. Ye, thank you.¡± ¡°Now you see I was right, don¡¯t you? You were lucky you called me in time. If it had been later, the toxins in your body could have potentially led to cellular cancer, understand?¡± Ye Haochuan said in annoyance. ¡°Oh.¡± Chen Yushan became even more embarrassed, her beautiful eyes flickering, avoiding his gaze. Seeing her demure look, Ye Haochuan¡¯s anger slowly dissipated. After all, how could he be angry with such a stunningly beautiful female police officer who was fearless and unafraid, whom he admired? Today, Chen Yushan had shed her uniform and was wearing light and breezy home casuals, which was a refreshing sight. Who would have thought that the beautiful female officer, usually in uniform, could show such a fresh and pretty image? Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but swallow his saliva, wondering which lucky guy would eventually marry such a top-tier female officer? Perhaps sensing his invasive stare, Chen Yushan felt uncomfortable, her face and ears flushing red as she said, ¡°Mr. Ye, you¡­¡± Caught in the act of ogling, Ye Haochuan felt a bit embarrassed, but with his thick skin, he chuckled and asked, ¡°Officer Chen, where is the kitchen?¡± ¡°Over there¡­¡± Chen Yushan blushed as she raised her hand and pointed in the direction. Ye Haochuan then went to the kitchen, turned on the gas, boiled some water, poured it into a basin, and placed a towel in it. He then used it as a hot compress on Chen Yushan¡¯s forehead. Chen Yushan¡¯s face turned a shade of pink. She had never been taken care of so attentively by a man before. Unaware of her thoughts, Ye Haochuan said, ¡°Officer Chen, you rest here for a while, I¡¯m going to prepare some medicinal cuisine for you. After you¡¯ve eaten, I¡¯ll massage you again, and you should be completely cured very soon¡­¡± ¡°Cured? Can it really be cured?¡± Chen Yushan perked up and gave him a look as she spoke. No wonder she was full of hope; her menstrual disorder had always been quite severe. She had visited numerous hospitals, consulted many doctors, and taken lots of medications, but nothing had led to a complete cure, only temporary relief. Ye Haochuan smiled and said, ¡°Of course. This is the Ye Family¡¯s secret ancestral recipe; it¡¯s incredibly effective.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Next, Ye Haochuan prepared the medicinal ingredients he had brought, cleaned the fennel and green peel, soaked them in a wide-mouthed bottle of yellow wine, then placed it inside the copper furnace. He then infused it with Longevity True Qi to begin the brewing process. In just three minutes, the Fennel Wine was successfully brewed. He then added a Body-Strengthening Pill to enhance the medicinal effects. Returning to the living room, Ye Haochuan poured a small bowl of the Fennel Wine from the wide-mouthed bottle and said with a smile, ¡°Officer Chen, this is the Fennel Wine I brewed for you. In the future, during your period, the pain will be greatly reduced. Now, have a small cup¡­¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Chen Yushan nodded but felt extremely shy seeing him spoon-feeding her, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± She attempted to lift her hand, but her strength failed her. The pain in her lower abdomen had been unbearable just moments ago; now she hardly had any energy left at all. Chapter 63 - 63 63 Brother will buy you candy later ?63: Chapter 63: Brother will buy you candy later. 63: Chapter 63: Brother will buy you candy later. What time is it even? Why care about such trivial matters? I¡¯m not going to eat you up! Ye Haochuan knew exactly what she was thinking and chuckled, ¡°Come on, stop trying to be strong. Open your mouth, I¡¯ll buy you candy later¡­¡± Buy me candy? Do I look like a three-year-old child? Chen Yushan could only feel both annoyed and amused. As the spoon neared her rosy lips, a fragrant aroma wafted up, and Chen Yushan¡¯s eyes lit up as she said with a blushing face, ¡°This fennel wine smells so good!¡± Ye Haochuan replied with pride, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a secret family recipe from the Ye family. How could it be anything less than its reputation?¡± After finishing his words, Ye Haochuan brought the spoon to Chen Yushan¡¯s mouth. Chen Yushan took a tentative sip and her eyes sparkled again. The fennel wine not only had a pleasant fragrance but also tasted sweet and refreshing upon entering the mouth. It was not too alcoholic and didn¡¯t cause intoxication. She quickly drank a small bowl of fennel wine, and minutes later, she particularly felt a warmth in her chest. ¡°Alright, now that you¡¯ve finished the fennel wine, tell me, do you feel a bit of heat there?¡± When Ye Haochuan spoke so unreservedly about that area, Chen Yushan, no matter how strong her willpower, couldn¡¯t help feeling embarrassed, her neck flushing red this time. Seeing her shy and uncomfortable, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but inwardly laugh and said sternly, ¡°Officer Chen, I am a medical practitioner. In front of a doctor, patients should not conceal their illnesses. You need to tell me exactly how you¡¯re feeling, so I can treat you properly. If you resist, and I misdiagnose you, it won¡¯t be good for you.¡± Hearing this, Chen Yushan nodded reluctantly, but she turned her face away, not wanting him to see her embarrassment. ¡°That¡¯s good. Next, I will give you a massage to remove the toxins in your body and prevent the late stage mutation of your condition. Lie down¡­¡± Chen Yushan obediently lay down. Ye Haochuan then stood up, bent down, and started to massage from her lower abdomen, moving upwards. The warm sensation made Chen Yushan feel so comfortable that she began to feel slightly dazed. ¡°Officer Chen, I¡¯m going to start massaging that area now. Are you ready?¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly said. Chen Yushan snapped back to her senses, her eyes widening, and she said defensively, ¡°What? You¡¯re going to massage there?¡± ¡°Yes! The toxins in your body are concentrated in that area, and we need to massage it to clear them. Is there a problem?¡± Ye Haochuan was inwardly laughing, but he maintained a serious expression on his face. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself; you don¡¯t need to do anything,¡± said Chen Yushan, biting her lip. ¡°What, you want to do it yourself?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed. Do it myself? Such an ugly way to put it! Chen Yushan, blushing, glared at him and retorted, ¡°You¡¯re the one who should do it yourself!¡± Ye Haochuan struggled to hold back his laughter and said earnestly, ¡°Look, there you go again. Could you please not think of me as such a base person? I am a doctor, and you¡¯re my patient. I am treating you, alright? You think it¡¯s easy to remove toxins, do you? Let me tell you, it¡¯s not like that. I¡¯ve practiced Qigong and can accurately detect where the toxins are and then use Qigong to remove them. Can you do that?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Chen Yushan frowned. Truth be told, the persistent thought in her mind was whether this guy intended to take advantage of her under the guise of treatment. Yet, if she refused, and the condition flared up again, then what? Moreover, this guy was so good at fighting; even though she had learned some combat skills, she was no match for him and couldn¡¯t stop him. What should I do? What can I do? For a moment, Chen Yushan felt completely at a loss. Seeing her frantic expression, Ye Haochuan decided to back off to advance, saying, ¡°Fine, since you think you can tolerate this kind of pain, then I¡¯ll just stop the treatment.¡± Indeed, this tactic worked. Chen Yushan hesitated for a moment and then gritted her teeth, ¡°Alright¡­ But I¡¯m warning you, you¡¯d better not harbor any improper thoughts, otherwise, otherwise I won¡¯t let you off.¡± You won¡¯t let me off? S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan almost burst out laughing, shaking his head, ¡°Rest assured, in the eyes of a medical practitioner, all beauty is akin to a skeleton. However, I would advise you to stay focused during my treatment. Don¡¯t start having any improper thoughts about me, heh heh.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Chen Yushan was so angry she clenched her teeth. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not waste any more time, the medicinal effect of the fennel wine is limited, we must hurry¡­ Now promptly take off your bra!¡± Take off the bra? Wasn¡¯t that allowing him to touch her directly? Chen Yushan¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°What did you say? You wish!¡± Ye Haochuan rolled his eyes, ¡°How else am I supposed to apply the treatment? Besides, isn¡¯t there still a T-shirt between us?¡± But with just a T-shirt in between, what¡¯s the difference from being naked? T-shirts are so thin! In an instant, Chen Yushan felt as if Ye Haochuan had turned into a big bad wolf, and she had become the little rabbit. ¡°No way, I won¡¯t agree even if I die. Just go back, I don¡¯t need your treatment¡­¡± She had just said this when Chen Yushan suddenly furrowed her brows, as the pain began to flare up again. Ye Haochuan saw her expression and knew what was going on, asking, ¡°How about it, is the pain starting to act up again?¡± Chen Yushan did not make a sound, which was essentially an acknowledgment. ¡°Alright, Officer Chen, we really can¡¯t delay any further. Do you want your normal cells to turn into cancer cells?¡± Ye Haochuan said gravely. As soon as she heard the word ¡°cancer cells,¡± Chen Yushan became a bit anxious. She was in the prime of her youth; wouldn¡¯t it be a pity if she died of cancer? ¡°Alright then.¡± With no other choice, Chen Yushan reluctantly agreed. To avoid embarrassment, she deliberately turned her head away and took off her bra, then stuffed it under a cushion on the couch. Watching her attempt to hide her actions, Ye Haochuan found it amusing. Chen Yushan then lay down hesitantly, her face blushing hotly. Without the restraint of a bra and though a T-shirt still covered her, her figure still revealed its sensuous shape. ¡°Damn, so sexy¡­¡± Even with his considerable willpower, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but feel thirsty, his eyes fixed on her. ¡°You¡­ hurry up!¡± Hearing Ye Haochuan¡¯s words, Chen Yushan felt mortified. She had never been looked at by a man in this way before! ¡°Okay then, I¡¯m starting now.¡± Ye Haochuan forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, rolled up his sleeves, and then activated his Perspective Eyes. In an instant, the white T-shirt that clung to her body began to fade from sight, unveiling the majestic Mt. Lu in its true form. Chapter 64 - 64 64 Be Content ?64: Chapter 64 Be Content 64: Chapter 64 Be Content I have to admit, Chen Yushan¡¯s figure is perfect, white as creamy jade, voluptuous as peonies in full bloom. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his sanity, after all, the urgent task at hand was to save lives and treat illnesses. As time ticked away, the toxins scattered about were guided by the Longevity True Qi to flow into the bloodstream, eventually reaching the renal tubules and entering the bladder. Soon, Chen Yushan felt a swelling sensation in her lower abdomen, clearly needing to urinate, but how could she say something so embarrassing? So she kept holding it in. Finally, Ye Haochuan¡¯s hand left her body, and that indescribable feeling also disappeared. But for some reason, at this moment, Chen Yushan felt a sense of loss, as if she had gained something and then lost it. She had to acknowledge that Ye Haochuan¡¯s unique massage technique was really impressive! ¡°Alright, Officer Chen, go to the restroom quickly, if you keep holding it in, your pants will end up a mess.¡± Ye Haochuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. ¡°Ah!¡± Embarrassed that he saw through her thoughts, Chen Yushan really wanted to find a hole to crawl into, hurriedly getting up and running to the restroom¡­ After a while, Chen Yushan came back from the restroom to the living room. ¡°How is it?¡± Having saved someone, Ye Haochuan was in a much more relaxed mood and started to joke around again. ¡°How is it, my ass!¡± Chen Yushan glared at him resentfully, this guy with a crow¡¯s mouth was clearly doing it on purpose. Ye Haochuan laughed heartily: ¡°You girls are always like this, saying one thing but meaning another.¡± ¡°If you keep this up, you believe I won¡¯t¡­¡± Chen Yushan, fuming, raised her small fists and shook them threateningly at him. ¡°Beat me up, right?¡± Ye Haochuan winked at her and chuckled, ¡°Officer Chen, I¡¯m warning you, this is only the first treatment. There are a few more to come, and if you beat me up, I won¡¯t be responsible for the subsequent treatments, okay?¡± ¡°What, there are more treatments?¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°What? Did you think one session would cure it completely? It¡¯s not that easy,¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head. ¡°You bastard! Are you doing this on purpose?¡± Suddenly, Chen Yushan, like a maddened leopardess, grabbed the collar of his shirt. ¡°Please, Officer Chen, be conscientious when you speak! How am I doing this on purpose? Where have you seen an illness like yours cured in one go? Haochuan retorted with a roll of his eyes. Chen Yushan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, realizing that medicine was a field as broad and profound as a separate realm, and the imbalance of information between a medical practitioner and a patient was severe. How could an outsider like herself understand it? So whatever Ye Haochuan said, she could only passively believe him. And indeed, she had no choice but to believe him since he had genuinely resolved the pain that had troubled her for so long. ¡°Hmph, consider yourself lucky,¡± Chen Yushan let go and suddenly pushed him away forcefully. Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t take offense but merely smiled. Having gained such a big advantage today, he was already content. This was, after all, the first woman he had been so intimately close to, other than his ex-girlfriend He Yun! ¡°How many more treatments?¡± Chen Yushan asked resentfully. ¡°If we go by one treatment per week, there are about seven or eight treatments to go,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. ¡°Seven or eight?¡± Chen Yushan was ready to explode. Seven or eight more treatments meant that she would have to let this guy take advantage of her seven or eight more times? ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Haochuan tried to suppress his laughter, ¡°You can¡¯t just give up halfway through this illness. Let me tell you, if you don¡¯t fully recover, it will only get worse in the future and seriously affect your work and daily life.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Chen Yushan hesitated for a moment but quickly came to terms with it. She had already let this guy take advantage of her, and giving up now would mean abandoning all her efforts. ¡°Alright, how much does it cost?¡± Now that she wasn¡¯t in pain anymore, Chen Yushan wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible. ¡°The labor fee and massage fee, I¡¯ll waive it for you, it¡¯s not worth much, but you have to cover the cost of the medicinal herbs.¡± You bastard, you dare to mention a massage fee in front of me? Chenn Yushan held back her anger, biting her lip, ¡°How much exactly? Spit it out!¡± ¡°One million!¡± Chen Yushan jumped up on the spot, her eyes wide open: ¡°What? One million? That¡¯s so expensive? Why don¡¯t you go rob a bank?¡± One million, with her meager salary, when would she ever earn one million? This bastard, not only took advantage of her, tricked her, but also wanted to deceive her out of her money, it was too detestable! Chapter 65 - 65 65 Beating is Affection Scolding is Love ?65: Chapter 65: Beating is Affection, Scolding is Love 65: Chapter 65: Beating is Affection, Scolding is Love Seeing Chen Yushan¡¯s astonished expression, Ye Haochuan was at a loss for words. A million is still expensive? Be glad I didn¡¯t ask for ten million. ¡°What did you think? Do you know what I added to the fennel wine I just prepared for you? Let me tell you, the Ye family¡¯s ancestral secret Body-Strengthening Pill not only invigorates but also beautifies the skin and preserves youth for you women.¡± ¡°Are you kidding? Do you think I¡¯m a three-year-old easy to fool?¡± Chen Yushan didn¡¯t believe him. ¡°Don¡¯t believe it, huh?¡± Ye Haochuan looked confident, ¡°You can ask around. Today in the morning, the price I sold to those well-known corporate executives was one million per pill!¡± Pausing, Ye Haochuan continued, ¡°By the way, when you have time, you might also want to ask in the girls¡¯ dormitory of building seven at Haishan University about the price these Body-Strengthening Pills are fetching. They¡¯ve shot up to millions per pill, and one even reached sixty million per pill¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Chen Yushan couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Okay, that¡¯s all I¡¯ll say, believe it or not. But think about it, you¡¯ve been to so many major hospitals and seen so many specialist doctors without any effect, which shows that your condition is not minor. Now that you¡¯ve come to me and found a hope for a cure, isn¡¯t it worth a million?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Chen Yushan frowned, troubled, ¡°But isn¡¯t a million too expensive? Even if I sold myself, I wouldn¡¯t be able to come up with that much money!¡± Chen Yushan came from an ordinary family with modest means. Moreover, having only recently started working, she did not have much savings; where would she find a million at this time? ¡°If you can¡¯t come up with a million, that¡¯s okay too. Let¡¯s find a middle ground, shall we?¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled. Hearing this, hope suddenly sparked in Chen Yushan¡¯s heart, and she eagerly asked, ¡°What middle ground?¡± At that moment, Chen Yushan, her face eager for an answer, trembled with nervousness, her Saintess Peak heaving up and down. Ye Haochuan felt a wicked fire rise within him, his breathing almost became rapid, and his eyes emitted a wolf-like wild gleam as he paused between each word and chuckled, ¡°I ¡ª want ¡ª you ¡ª ¡± Thunk! Chen Yushan stomped her foot fiercely and gritted her teeth, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it, I would rather die than have that kind of relationship with you!¡± Ye Haochuan found it funny and pretended to be stunned, ¡°What kind of relationship? I just need a room arranged for me. I¡¯ll stay here tonight since it¡¯s too late to go back, how did you bring up that kind of relationship?¡± At this time, it was indeed very late, and the school¡¯s dormitory buildings had completely closed. Going back now would have been futile. Chen Yushan was hugely embarrassed. This jerk was clearly doing it on purpose, leading her to misunderstand. ¡°Oh, I see, so that¡¯s what you were thinking.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed loudly, ¡°Officer Chen, you think too highly of yourself. Even if you did want to have a relationship with me, I would need to think about it!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Flushed with embarrassment and anger, Chen Yushan raised her fists and swung at him fiercely. To Ye Haochuan, her light punches and embellished kicks were insignificant. Before she could hit him, Ye Haochuan grabbed her fists in his hands and teased with a frivolous laugh, ¡°Officer Chen, hitting is affection and scolding is love; your way of expressing affection is quite unique indeed!¡± This bastard! Absolutely abhorrent! Chen Yushan was both furious and incensed, ¡°Jerk, let go, or I won¡¯t let you off!¡± Ye Haochuan blinked and chuckled, ¡°Then I¡¯d really like to see how Officer Chen won¡¯t let me off, heh heh.¡± Chen Yushan, furious, kicked him hard toward his groin. Damn, that kick was fierce. If it had connected, wouldn¡¯t it have ended his lineage? Ye Haochuan jumped in shock and quickly sidestepped, putting away his smile and seriously said, ¡°Alright, alright, Officer Chen, I don¡¯t have time to joke anymore, let¡¯s stop this. I was just kidding around¡­¡± ¡°Joking? Is that how you joke with a girl?¡± Chen Yushan said indignantly. Other jokes, I might have let go, but the worst part is, this guy is joking about his own reputation and treating me as what? Hmph, even if I die, I would never have that kind of relation with you. ¡°Sorry, sorry,¡± Ye Haochuan replied with an apologetic smile. Chen Yushan glared at him, ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you letting go of your ¡®dog paw¡¯?¡± Dog paw? Ye Haochuan was speechless. If this was a ¡®dog paw,¡¯ then didn¡¯t she just get touched by a dog? However, afraid of angering her, Ye Haochuan just smiled and didn¡¯t argue, then let go of her hand. Once she was out of his grip, Chen Yushan glared at him fiercely again before saying, ¡°It¡¯s alright if you want to stay at my place for one night, but if you stay, you must behave yourself.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Ye Haochuan exaggeratedly saluted. Chen Yushan couldn¡¯t help but want to laugh, but she quickly restrained herself and said sternly, ¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll go tidy up the room.¡± Ye Haochuan had already noticed that her house was a one bedroom and one living room setup, meaning there was only one bedroom. If he were to stay in the bedroom, Chen Yushan would probably have to sleep in the living room. How could he do that? Wouldn¡¯t that be like taking over her nest? Moreover, Officer Chen was still a patient! Thinking this, Ye Haochuan shook his head and quickly grabbed her hand, ¡°Officer Chen, you don¡¯t need to tidy up, I can sleep on the sofa.¡± ¡°Let go!¡± Chen Yushan glared at him with disgust. Really? Is she guarding against me that much? Ye Haochuan said nothing, but reluctantly let go of her hand. Chen Yushan huffed and then said, ¡°Guests come first, I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa, you take the bedroom.¡± ¡°How can that be okay? You are sick, you need better rest¡­¡± S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Why so much nonsense? If you don¡¯t listen to me, you better leave early!¡± Chen Yushan said fiercely. This beautiful police officer really was stubborn! Why couldn¡¯t she see reason? A thought struck Ye Haochuan, and he said with a smile, ¡°Alright then, since you insist on me taking your bedroom, that¡¯s fine. But just a heads-up, I tend to sleepwalk. If I get up in the middle of the night and accidentally do something to you, don¡¯t blame me, alright?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Chen Yushan could clearly hear the implication in his words. What if he sleepwalked and, driven by instincts, did something to her sleeping in the living room? Though she knew self-defense techniques, how could she possibly overpower him? After thinking it over, Chen Yushan decided it was safer for her to sleep in the bedroom, so she said, ¡°Alright, that settles it then. You¡¯ll sleep on the living room sofa, and I¡¯ll take the bedroom.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± Ye Haochuan said with a cheeky smile. ¡°But just to warn you, I¡¯m a very decent person. Don¡¯t come over in the middle of the night trying to take advantage of me¡­¡± ¡°Take advantage of you my foot!¡± Chen Yushan said angrily, aiming a kick at him, wishing she could kick this jerk to death. But Ye Haochuan had already dodged, laughing heartily for a while. He then staggered and lay down on the sofa bed, giggling, ¡°Good night.¡± Chapter 66 - 66 66 Extortion Case ?66: Chapter 66: Extortion Case 66: Chapter 66: Extortion Case The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Chen Yushan awoke feeling refreshed, as she hadn¡¯t been tortured by pain. She got out of bed bright and early. When she opened the door and stepped out of her bedroom, Yushan glanced toward the living room and saw that scoundrel Ye Haochuan sprawled out on the sofa bed, sound asleep and looking utterly ridiculous. His drool had even formed a three-foot-long trail. This good-for-nothing actually seemed well-behaved enough in his sleep. Chen Yushan felt amused but then shook her head. Regardless, her condition had indeed improved, so it seemed his medical skills weren¡¯t just for show. Well then, even though she couldn¡¯t afford to pay a million, making him breakfast as a way to express her thanks was still doable. With that thought in mind, Yushan tiptoed to the kitchen to start preparing¡­ A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yushan brought out breakfast ¡ª soy milk, fried eggs, and steamed buns. Simple, yet perfectly in line with modern breakfast habits. Yushan took another look into the living room, only to find that scoundrel still sound asleep, which left her speechless. She called out, ¡°Time to get up, time to get up¡­¡± Ye Haochuan then woke up and, peering at the light outside, said sleepily, ¡°But isn¡¯t it still early?¡± Rolling her eyes, Chen Yushan replied, ¡°Still early? The sun¡¯s three poles high already.¡± ¡°Three poles high already?¡± Ye Haochuan wiped the corner of his mouth, clearing the sleepiness, and chuckled, ¡°Then it¡¯s time to get up. I¡¯m usually up early anyway, heh heh.¡± Chen Yushan retorted bitterly, ¡°Shut your trap.¡± Looks like Officer Chen knows what¡¯s up, doesn¡¯t she? Got that right? Ye Haochuan laughed heartily as he got up and walked to the dining table. Eyeing the steamed buns, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s see how our beautiful officer does in the kitchen.¡± As he reached out to grab a bun, Chen Yushan slapped his hand away and said irritably, ¡°Wash your paws first.¡± Ye Haochuan exaggerated a cry of pain and chuckled, ¡°Now, now, Officer Beauty, aren¡¯t you overstepping a bit? You¡¯re not my wife. I¡¯ll eat the bun any way I want. What¡¯s it to you?¡± This jerk, trying to take advantage again! Feeling annoyed, Yushan said, ¡°And you call yourself a doctor. Don¡¯t you know it¡¯s unsanitary not to wash your hands before eating, and it can lead to sickness?¡± ¡°Hey, you obviously don¡¯t get it,¡± Ye Haochuan boasted, ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard the saying, ¡®A little dirt won¡¯t hurt, it makes your immune system work¡¯? Get it? Ah, forget it, it¡¯s pointless explaining to you. You can¡¯t even take care of your own irregular periods, how would you understand the principle behind it?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Just as Chen Yushan was about to blow up, her phone suddenly rang. She picked up and saw that it was a call from the police headquarters¡¯ emergency dispatch. Typically, when her colleagues from the emergency dispatch called, it meant there was a police duty to attend to. Sure enough, after she picked up, Yushan gave Ye Haochuan a serious look, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve just received a call from the station. There¡¯s been a dispute case in my jurisdiction, and I need to rush over to deal with it, so¡­¡± Ye Haochuan instantly understood and smiled, ¡°Understood, understood. Official duties come first. You go ahead, I should get going too.¡± After saying that, he unapologetically gulped down all the soy milk, grabbed a steamed bun, and while stuffing it into his mouth, he headed towards the door. Seeing his considerate gesture, Chen Yushan felt a touch of warmth. She thought to herself that this bad egg wasn¡¯t quite as bad as she had imagined. Imitating what she saw, Chen Yushan stuffed an egg into her mouth, followed by half a glass of soy milk before hurrying back to her room to tidy up briefly and then leave. She met Ye Haochuan, who was waiting at the door, and together they went downstairs to the parking lot. Coincidentally, the red BMW that Ye Haochuan was driving was parked right next to the police car assigned to Chen Yushan, ¡°Huh, I wouldn¡¯t have guessed, but you¡¯re driving a BMW!¡± Chen Yushan said with a smirk. ¡°And it¡¯s red, too. You really have bold taste! Don¡¯t tell me it was a gift from some rich lady?¡± How did it come to this? Ye Haochuan was somewhat at a loss for words, saying, ¡°You really have some imagination, don¡¯t you think I¡¯m that kind of person? Listen up, this BMW is just borrowed from a friend of mine temporarily.¡± Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Yeah, right!¡± Chen Yushan said with a skeptical look. Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with her, opened the car door, climbed in, and was just starting the engine when Chen Yushan suddenly hurried over, saying, ¡°Trouble, the gas tank of my unit¡¯s police car broke, all the fuel leaked out. Doctor Ye, could you give me a lift?¡± Ye Haochuan immediately opened the car door and said with a laugh, ¡°No problem, who says being helpful isn¡¯t my greatest flaw?¡± Chen Yushan was surprised for a moment, clearly not expecting him to agree so readily, but without any hesitation, she got into the car and sat on the passenger side. ¡°To Chenghuang Temple.¡± ¡°Sure thing!¡± Ye Haochuan gently stepped on the accelerator, and the red BMW drove out of the neighborhood, merging into traffic, racing swiftly. Five minutes later, the BMW stopped near an antique shop at Chenghuang Temple. At this point, the entrance of the antique shop was crowded with people, three layers inside and three layers outside. Chen Yushan got out of the car in a hurry, shouting, ¡°Police business, please make way! Make way, please!¡± The crowd, seeing a woman in a police uniform, wisely stepped aside. Ye Haochuan, who was eager to see what the excitement was about, parked the BMW by the roadside, got out, and followed Chen Yushan into the centre of the crowd. Outside the antique shop, an ordinary-dressed old man was sprawled on the ground, with a bruised nose and swollen face, blood all over his head, and his body covered in random footprints, clearly having just been beaten. And at the entrance of the antique shop, a group of people dressed to the nines looked down upon the old man on the ground with disdain and scorn. The leader, a man in his thirties with a cunning look on his face, seemed like the owner of the antique shop. He was cursing at the old man on the ground, ¡°You old bastard, trying to extort me? Scram, and if you cause trouble again, I¡¯ll have someone break your legs!¡± Ye Haochuan frowned deeply. Why did this scene look like something from the old society? Damn, even if the old man was trying to extort, as a mere antique shop owner, you had no right to beat someone up like this, right? Besides, the old man was alone and weak, and you¡¯re outnumbered; where would he get the strength to extort you? By now, Chen Yushan had already approached. After taking a look at the old man on the ground, she turned to the antique shop owner and asked, ¡°What happened here?¡± On seeing Chen Yushan in her police uniform, the antique shop owner¡¯s expression stiffened, but then he approached with a smile plastered on his face, ¡°Oh, Officer, here¡¯s the thing. This old man came to my shop to extort money, claiming I possessed his calligraphy and painting and demanding compensation. But the thing is, I¡¯ve done nothing of the sort, you can ask my employees.¡± No sooner had he finished speaking than the employees behind him chimed in agreement. Chen Yushan frowned, her years of experience telling her that there was probably more to the story than what these people were saying. Chapter 67 - 67 67 The Exorbitantly Priced Antique Painting ?67: Chapter 67: The Exorbitantly Priced Antique Painting 67: Chapter 67: The Exorbitantly Priced Antique Painting As an investigator, Chen Yushan knew that they could not ascertain the complete truth of the case by relying solely on the account of the owner of the antique shop. Therefore, it was necessary to get the other party¡¯s side of the story. Thinking of this, Chen Yushan quickly bent down to check on the condition of the old man on the ground, only to see him barely hanging on to life. His parched lips instinctively opened and closed, a clear sign of the severity of the beating delivered by the antique shop owner and his people! ¡°How could you beat an old man to this state?¡± Chen Yushan turned her head to glance at the antique shop group and frowned. The antique shop owner said, ¡°Officer, we didn¡¯t want this either, but you might ask around. This old man went crazy, wielding a cleaver and attacking anyone he saw in my shop. One of my employees got a cut on his shoulder that almost took his arm off, so we had to¡­¡± The antique shop owner¡¯s statement was confirmed by many of the onlookers. Chen Yushan nodded without betraying any emotion, but she still needed to hear the situation from the person involved. At this point, she suddenly saw Ye Haochuan squatting down beside the old man, then starting to administer first aid. That¡¯s when Chen Yushan remembered that he was a doctor, so she quietly asked, ¡°How is he?¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite serious, but for me, it¡¯s a trifle,¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. No wonder he was so confident. After receiving the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle from Old Master Kou, his chances of saving people had greatly increased. As soon as the Seven-Star Life-Renewing Needle was applied, the old man, who previously hovered at death¡¯s door, began to revive under Ye Haochuan¡¯s expert care. Although he still couldn¡¯t move freely, he was now able to speak. After Ye Haochuan confirmed that his name was Old Han, Chen Yushan asked, ¡°Old man, what exactly is the dispute between you and them about?¡± With great effort, Old Han lifted his hand and pointed weakly at the antique shop owner and his people, angrily accusing, ¡°They¡­ they made off with my ancestral painting¡­¡± Through Old Han¡¯s intermittent explanations, Ye Haochuan and Chen Yushan gradually pieced everything together. According to Old Han, there was a Tang Dynasty ancestral painting from Gu Kaizhi in his family. Since his grandson needed to buy a house for his wedding, and the high housing prices were suffocating the family, Old Han decided to sell the painting for cash. However, when he came to Haishan from the countryside yesterday afternoon and found this antique shop, his ancestral painting was identified by the antique shop owner as a fake. Believing it to be true, he sold it to the antique shop for only a thousand yuan. Little did he know, after returning to the countryside, his son reminded him that the ancestral painting was worth far more than a thousand yuan; he was filled with instant regret. Having undersold the ancestral painting made buying the wedding house a distant dream, and the attitude of the grandson¡¯s in-laws began to shift subtly, causing the whole family to be in a state of panic. The more Old Han thought about it, the angrier he became. So, early this morning, he came here alone to demand justice, hoping to reclaim the ancestral painting. Coincidentally, the antique shop was celebrating its anniversary today. The painting he sold yesterday was now proudly displayed by the antique shop owner as the ¡°Treasure of the Shop¡± with a whopping price tag of five million yuan. Moreover, he overheard the antique shop owner boast amid the crowd that this painting was an authentic work by the Tang Dynasty master, Gu Kaizhi. Only then did he realize the deception by the antique shop owner. He stood up and loudly accused the antique shop owner of being a fraud, demanding the immediate return of the painting. The antique shop owner, infuriated that the celebration in his shop was disturbed, got into an argument with Old Han, which escalated into an increasingly fierce brawl, eventually leading to a fight. Old Han, alone and at a disadvantage, stood no chance against the antique shop owner. Out of anger, he bought a large machete from the market and came back to fight for his life. In the chaos, one of the antique shop¡¯s employees was slashed, and Old Han himself was beaten by a mob. Even some of the onlookers, who knew nothing of the true situation, mistook him for a terrorist and joined in the attack, which left him severely beaten as he appeared now. After understanding the whole story, Ye Haochuan, from the honest look in Old Han¡¯s eyes, was convinced that his account was truthful. However, for Chen Yushan, a people¡¯s police officer, it wasn¡¯t as simple as taking one¡¯s word for it; she focused more on evidence. ¡°Old Han, you say this ancient painting is yours, do you have any evidence?¡± Chen Yushan asked. ¡°Yes, of course, I have evidence¡­¡± Old Han began, before suddenly breaking into a severe coughing fit. However, after Ye Haochuan massaged him for a while, he caught his breath and continued, ¡°When I sold my family heirloom painting to this antique shop, they gave me a receipt, and I have it on me now.¡± ¡°Then Old Han, could you have someone bring this receipt for us to look at?¡± Chen Yushan asked. ¡°No problem.¡± Old Han then shakily took out the receipt from his trouser pocket. Chen Yushan took the receipt and, after careful comparison, confirmed it was indeed issued by the antique shop. ¡°What do you have to say now?¡± Chen Yushan asked the antique shop owner, frowning. The face of the antique shop owner betraying his embarrassment, he snorted, ¡°Officer, even if this old thing has a receipt, what of it? He already sold the item to me, does he have the face to ask for it back? If everyone were to go back on their word like he does, wouldn¡¯t that create chaos in this world?¡± Many people resonated with the antique shop owner¡¯s words and nodded in agreement. After all, buying and selling are often about bluffing; it¡¯s a willing buyer, willing seller situation, and once the deal is done, going back on it isn¡¯t right. However, there were also some people who thought that if Old Han¡¯s family heirloom painting was genuine, then the antique shop owner could be accused of fraud, especially given that he had bought it for one thousand yuan and then turned around to sell it for five million. That certainly raised questions. For a while, those with differing opinions debated back and forth without reaching a consensus. Chen Yushan noticed this but, clearly, she was on the side of Old Han, the disadvantaged party. ¡°Just now, weren¡¯t you denying that you took advantage of Old Han¡¯s painting and that you hadn¡¯t done anything unscrupulous? What do you have to say now?¡± Chen Yushan said coldly. The antique shop owner was at a loss for words, but this fellow had a thick skin and retorted, ¡°Officer, that¡¯s not fair. Where did I take advantage of his painting, where did I do anything unscrupulous? Didn¡¯t I pay him one thousand yuan?¡± ¡°If you bought it for only one thousand yuan, then why did you price it at five million? S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Isn¡¯t that blatantly attempting to make an exorbitant profit?¡± Chen Yushan asked, her tone turning even colder. The antique shop owner began to play the victim, looking up to the heavens as he spoke, ¡°Officer, it¡¯s unjust, really unjust. In our line of work, it¡¯s all about buying low and selling high. A high price tag is of course to attract customers. Frankly, it¡¯s just for show.¡± He sighed and added, ¡°Officer, to tell you the truth, many customers have looked at this painting and said it¡¯s not genuine, it¡¯s not worth five million. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask the folks around here.¡± Chapter 68 - 68 68 Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy ?68: Chapter 68: Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy 68: Chapter 68: Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy Many people around expressed agreement with the antique store owner¡¯s grievances. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chen Yushan also felt troubled by the situation; if the ancient painting indeed was not authentic, then Old Han was being somewhat unreasonable. Seeing her keeping silent, the antique store owner became slightly more arrogant, ¡°Besides, this is already my own property. How I set the price is up to me, isn¡¯t it? It¡¯s not for you, an officer, to point fingers, right?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Chen Yushan was momentarily stunned. It had to be admitted, the antique store owner¡¯s reason was indeed unassailable, as it was a matter of free trade after all! Now that the item had been sold to him, Old Han truly had no right to change his mind and ask for it back. Moreover, Old Han himself was greatly at fault for not only wielding a weapon to injure someone, which was illegal, but also for originally selling the ancient painting at a low price, which was due to his own confusion. Now, upon seeing the price of his own ancient painting soar, he suddenly had regrets; how could he solely blame others? ¡°Since you say it¡¯s not authentic, then give me back the painting, and I¡¯ll refund you the money¡­¡± As he spoke, Old Han began to cough violently. Ye Haochuan hurriedly applied acupressure, and Old Han gradually caught his breath. However, just as he was about to speak, Ye Haochuan suddenly chuckled, ¡°Old Han, this is where you are wrong. Once the item is sold, there¡¯s no justification for regret.¡± Old Han was stunned, evidently not expecting his benefactor to contradict him. He was about to retort, inflamed with indignation, when he suddenly felt a slight pain from his shoulder being grasped by the young man in front of him. Although Old Han was naive, he was not stupid. He quickly realized that there was a significant intention behind the young man¡¯s grasp. Although it was somewhat baffling, he still kept his mouth shut. Seeing him so cooperative, Ye Haochuan silently breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, like Chen Yushan, he was also on Old Han¡¯s side. While it¡¯s true that Old Han should not be having regrets now, everything had a cause. Think about it, Old Han, an honest person, how would he know the intricacies of authenticating ancient paintings? Being misled by the antique store owner was inevitable. Moreover, the antique store owner had a sharp and critical demeanor, which was not likable, and Ye Haochuan felt somewhat disgusted. If the painting turned out to be authentic, then indeed, the antique store owner was being too unscrupulous. Of course, if it was a forgery, Old Han had no point to argue. It wouldn¡¯t cost much for Ye Haochuan to buy it back and give it to Old Han to comfort the old man. Actually, Ye Haochuan himself was not versed in authenticating ancient paintings, but fortuitously, the legacy of the Holy Hand included such knowledge, which could be very useful now. At this moment, the antique store owner, hearing his ¡°righteous advocacy,¡± approached and said, ¡°This young man here understands reason. In business, it¡¯s all about mutual agreement. We had agreed upon the price initially, and to go back on it now, where¡¯s the sense in that on this earth?¡± Clearly, seeing Ye Haochuan speaking in his favor, the antique store owner was delighted and his impression of him improved greatly. Little did he know, Ye Haochuan was merely employing a strategy of feigning weakness to paralyze him, a mere smokescreen. Ye Haochuan said with a smile, ¡°The owner is right. Since the transaction was made willingly, it¡¯s not right to go back on it afterwards. Old Han wouldn¡¯t have had to sell if he had chosen not to; no one could have forced him.¡± The antique store owner¡¯s face bloomed with a smile, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, this brother is absolutely correct.¡± Old Han, having been tipped off by Ye Haochuan, kept silent. But it was different for Chen Yushan. She thought to herself, how could this villain have no sympathy at all? Even a blind man could see that the antique store owner was engaging in deceptive practices, yet he was helping him speak. Had he lost his conscience to a dog? With that thought, Chen Yushan sternly said, ¡°What about the painting?¡± Now she could not openly favor Old Han, she had to see the painting and then decide. Although she was not an expert at authentication, she could take it back to the police station first, then invite art experts to examine it. Upon hearing this, the antique store owner, despite his great reluctance, had to compromise for the time being. However, in his heart, he cursed her relentlessly. Seeing Chen Yushan speak up, Ye Haochuan, being a high-level spy, naturally cooperated, smiling, ¡°That¡¯s fine. Mr. Shop Owner, take me to have a look. A genuine piece or a forgery, if the price is right, sell it to me, so you can avoid being troubled repeatedly by others, how about that?¡± The antique shop owner¡¯s eyes lit up. Today, during the store celebration, he had been selling this work by Gu Kaizhi as the store¡¯s treasure, hoping to find a buyer and make a substantial profit. Now that a buyer had come to him, it was of course good news. Originally, before Old Han caused a scene, this supposed last work of Gu Kaizhi had been quite popular. But there were many inquiries and few buyers, as many of the collectors unanimously considered the painting a forgery, unwilling to be big fools for five million. Hence, this so-called ¡°store treasure¡± had become a joke in the industry for a time. What made it worse was that after Old Han¡¯s disruption, many people looked down on him. The antique shop owner had only spent one thousand to acquire this painting but turned around and asked five million for it. Wasn¡¯t that too greedy? ¡°Young brother, said nicely, this painting now belongs to me and naturally, I will deal with it. Come on in, please.¡± The antique store owner, with a face full of smiles, invited Ye Haochuan into the shop. Seeing Ye Haochuan getting on well with the antique store owner, Chen Yushan was quite angry. This scoundrel, how could he mingle with such a crooked merchant? Being a police officer herself, and under the public eye, it was inappropriate to show too much favoritism toward Old Han, so she had no choice but to help him enter the antique store as well. At the main hall of the antique store, close to the wall, stood a painting. A meter in front of the painting, there was a cordon set up with two clerks standing beside, a vigilant posture as if fearing someone would snatch the ¡°shop treasure.¡± It was an ancient landscape ink painting, with a primitive style, steep mountains, and rapid rivers. However, the strokes were meticulous, intensely continuous like silkworms spinning silk or clouds floating in spring, also suiting Gu Kaizhi¡¯s painting style. However, due to the passage of time and improper preservation, the seals on this ancient painting had become blurred and difficult to identify. At that moment, upon seeing his family¡¯s ancestral painting, Old Han suddenly felt a surge of emotion and, throwing caution to the wind, lunged forward. But the two clerks guarding the painting swiftly grabbed him, having been wary of him previously. The antique store owner pointed at Old Han¡¯s nose in a fit of rage, ¡°Old thing, do you have no shame? You¡¯ve already sold it to me. I didn¡¯t steal or rob you, so why do you want it back?¡± Old Han struggled and yelled, ¡°If you hadn¡¯t conned me by colluding from the start, how could I have sold it to you? I don¡¯t want to sell it anymore¡­¡± Old Han really was panicking! Ye Haochuan really didn¡¯t know what to say about him, as this was clearly typical of acting shamelessly! Chapter 69 - 69 69 Another Universe! ?69: Chapter 69: Another Universe! 69: Chapter 69: Another Universe! There¡¯s a saying that goes, ¡°The objects of pity often have their own despicable side!¡± In Ye Haochuan¡¯s view, Old Han was just such a person. However, to be fair, Old Han¡¯s fervor was somewhat justified. Judging from his attire, though not destitute, he belonged to the struggling lower class. For his family, in this materially driven society, it was indeed a challenge to arrange a good marriage for a grandson. Thus, this heirloom antique painting had become their last resort to raise cash for buying a marital home for the grandson. Although the painting might be a forgery, given its century-long existence, its value was certainly more than a thousand yuan. So, it wasn¡¯t wrong to say that the antique shop owner had cheated Old Han out of his painting. Ye Haochuan stepped forward, trying to calm him, ¡°Old Han, relax. You¡¯ve already sold the painting, and you¡¯ve taken the money. Regretting it now is useless. Let me first take a look at the painting. Whether it¡¯s authentic or a fake, I¡¯ll consider buying it. When the time comes, I¡¯ll compensate you with some money to ensure that you¡¯re satisfied, how about that?¡± ¡°Thank you, thank you¡­¡± Old Han looked at Ye Haochuan with a grateful face, gripping his hand tightly, unable to speak for a moment. Meanwhile, Chen Yushan was taken aback. She had never expected this bad guy to be so generous. For a moment, her view of this bad guy became quite complicated. One moment he was despicably bad, and the next he seemed like a savior. Ye Haochuan, oh Ye Haochuan, which one is the real you? Seeing that Ye Haochuan was truly interested in buying, the antique shop owner immediately became enthusiastic, ¡°Unexpected! Brother, you indeed have a kind heart. I admire that, truly¡­¡± Obviously, the antique shop owner was quite savvy in business¡ªwhether the deal happened or not, he started by lavishing praise, possibly brightening up the customer¡¯s mood and closing the deal in the process. Of course, given Ye Haochuan¡¯s plain and shabby clothes, the antique shop owner had his doubts about his purchasing power. However, seeing the red BMW parked not far from the shop, he preferred to believe Ye Haochuan was just putting on airs. Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s take a look at this painting first.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± As soon as Ye Haochuan¡¯s gaze fell upon the antique painting on the wall, he activated his Perspective Eyes. In no time, he saw a faint cyan aura slowly emanating from the painting, with a hint of ancientness woven within it. Could this painting be the real deal? Ye Haochuan was taken aback, then he scrutinized it carefully and noticed something peculiar¡ª The faint cyan aura coming from the painting was concentrated only on a small area of the paper, the rest was blank. Ye Haochuan immediately realized: there must be more to this painting than meets the eye! This explained why the antique shop owner had said that many collectors had deemed it a forgery and not a single one wanted to buy it. At that thought, Ye Haochuan snapped his fingers, ¡°Boss, name your price. I¡¯ll take it.¡± The antique shop owner¡¯s eyes brightened¡ªdamn, was this guy making his decision to buy so quickly? Hadn¡¯t he properly assessed its authenticity? The surrounding onlookers were also stunned. Many thought this young man was simply a rash fool. Wasn¡¯t this reckless? ¡°The young brother is quite straightforward, not dragging his feet at all, admirable, admirable¡­¡± Ye Haochuan stopped the antique shop owner¡¯s flattery and said, ¡°Alright, alright, Boss, just tell me straight, how much?¡± It seems this guy really knows nothing! What a big idiot! The antique shop owner was inwardly ecstatic but kept a composed exterior and said, ¡°Young brother, although many people who come to my shop say that this painting is not authentic, what I have to say is that this is merely their tactic to drive down the price. I¡¯ve been in the antiques business for decades, and I assure you, this is very likely an authentic piece by Gu Kaizhi¡­¡± ¡°Authentic?¡± Ye Haochuan looked at the antique shop owner with a mocking glance and said with a chuckle, ¡°Boss, those lines that might fool a three-year-old won¡¯t work on me¡­ Didn¡¯t you just say it wasn¡¯t authentic?¡± The antique shop owner¡¯s face turned red, extremely embarrassed, but he still piled on a smile and said, ¡°Young brother, what do you mean by that? I, Liang Xiangtian, have been in the antiques trade for many years, and the thing I value most is my reputation. See this face? It¡¯s a golden signboard, suitable for all ages, with no deception for young or old.¡± Damn it, your sleazy face looks exactly like that of a crook, and you dare to call it a golden signboard? Fuck, your shameless look is quite in line with my style back in the day! Ye Haochuan felt so disgusted he wanted to throw up, but he still put on an accommodating smile and said, ¡°So, your surname is Liang, Boss. Then I shall address you as Boss Liang.¡± The antique shop owner kept calling it courtesy, then asked for his name. After giving his name, Ye Haochuan straightened his expression and said, ¡°Boss Liang, let¡¯s be frank. In the field of antiques, I may not have deep expertise, but having spent many years with my old master, I¡¯ve picked up a thing or two about appraisal¡­¡± Hearing this, Chen Yushan was somewhat speechless. When she had brought him to the police station for a statement, she personally interrogated him. This criminal was all alone; where did this ¡®old master¡¯ of his come from? Wasn¡¯t this blatantly lying? ¡°¡­As for this painting of yours, Boss Liang, to be honest, it¡¯s obvious to anyone with eyes that it¡¯s a later imitation, and moreover, from the look of the paper, it clearly shows signs of being baked. I can assert that it¡¯s an imitation done by a famous artist at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Now you¡¯re telling me about an authentic Gu Kaizhi, isn¡¯t this just a blatant attempt to deceive someone ignorant in the trade?¡± Watching Ye Haochuan talk confidently and with a savvy look, Boss Liang felt like he had hit a snag, his face burning hotly. With an awkward smile, he said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t see that coming. The young fellow is still so young, yet a connoisseur in this area. Sigh, my own good-for-nothing kid is around your age and does nothing but loaf around, irresponsible. If he had half your skill, that would be great.¡± To be fair, Boss Liang really had a knack for doing business; with just a few words, he praised Ye Haochuan and deftly neutralized the awkward situation, not a simple feat. The people around, seeing Boss Liang¡¯s response, started looking at Ye Haochuan with newfound respect. Especially Chen Yushan, who had never imagined that Ye Haochuan could be so multifaceted; how could he understand this as well? In the crowd, the most heartbroken person was Old Han. He had placed his hopes on the ancient painting being authentic but never imagined that the ancestral painting he and his ancestors had guarded so carefully was just an imitation! An imitation, what does that mean? It means it¡¯s a fake! ¡°However, Boss Liang, to speak truthfully, this imitation of Gu Kaizhi¡¯s you have here still has some age to it; by my estimation, it¡¯s over a hundred years old and does hold some value as a collector¡¯s item.

So, why don¡¯t you give me a new price, and if it¡¯s suitable, I¡¯ll take it off your hands¡­¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Boss Liang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, ¡°Okay, then. How about this number?¡± With that, Boss Liang stretched out one finger. Chapter 70 - 70 70 I Dare to Buy You May Not Dare to Sell! ?70: Chapter 70: I Dare to Buy, You May Not Dare to Sell! 70: Chapter 70: I Dare to Buy, You May Not Dare to Sell! Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°Boss Liang, you¡¯re quite straightforward. Okay, 10,000 yuan, it¡¯s a deal. What¡¯s your Alipay account? S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I¡¯ll transfer the money from my phone right now.¡± 10,000 yuan? You must be dreaming! I¡¯ve been through so much today and only made this much? How am I supposed to survive in the Antique Circle? Boss Liang was speechless, hastily waving his hands as he said, ¡°No, no, no, young man, you misunderstood. I didn¡¯t say 10,000; I said a million!¡± A million? The people around couldn¡¯t help but gasp in shock, damn, this antique shop owner really has a heart of black gold! ¡°A million?¡± Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows, shit, this crook is really something, thinking he can deceive me? To just blurt out a million? ¡°Boss Liang, this isn¡¯t really fair business, is it? You bought it from Old Han for 1,000 yuan, and now you want to sell it to me for a million? That¡¯s quite the markup!¡± At this moment, no one could describe how frustrated Boss Liang was. If it hadn¡¯t been for that damned Old Han revealing the purchase price, how could he have been so passive? But, with a thick face, he grimaced and said, ¡°Young man, you can¡¯t calculate it like that. In our line of work, we make money from the price difference. It might seem like I¡¯m making a lot on this deal, but my shop doesn¡¯t land a deal every day. With the rental fees, labor costs, utilities, transportation, and fuel expenses all taken into account, the profit I make as the owner is minimal.¡± Damn, do you think I was taught math by a PE teacher? After splitting all those costs, the profit should be at least over 900,000! Ye Haochuan, with a disdainful expression, said, ¡°Boss Liang, the biggest flaw I have is that I love to help others. Old Han, due to his carelessness, sold it to you for a cheap price of 1,000 yuan. That¡¯s his own problem, and nobody else is to blame. I want to help him out, not necessarily to buy this counterfeit. I¡¯ve got plenty of money, I could just as easily give him tens of thousands.¡± Pausing, Ye Haochuan pointed at the ancient painting on the wall and snorted, ¡°About this counterfeit, although it has a history of a hundred years, the brushwork isn¡¯t from any notable master. Based on current market rates, even stretched, it¡¯s worth just a few tens of thousands. And now you¡¯re trying to flip it to me for a million? Do you think I¡¯m that big a fool?¡± Upon hearing this, Boss Liang became even more convinced that he was dealing with someone knowledgeable. After thinking it over, he grimaced and said, ¡°Well then, young man, I¡¯ll compromise. Let¡¯s make it 500,000?¡± 500,000? The people around shook their heads. This Boss Liang was utterly heartless¡ªdemanding a sky-high price for something only worth a few tens of thousands? Listening to Boss Liang¡¯s offer, Ye Haochuan secretly sneered, shit, this scoundrel is really shameless. What¡¯s the difference between 500,000 and a million? Trying to outplay me at shamelessness? I¡¯ll play you till you¡¯re exhausted! ¡°500,000, huh? It¡¯s not impossible!¡± Ye Haochuan slowly chuckled, ¡°But Boss Liang, while I dare to buy, you might not dare to sell!¡± Seeing his ominous tone, Boss Liang, though hardened by many experiences, inexplicably felt a sudden chill. What does he mean? He dares to buy, but I might not dare to sell? Could this young man have some significant backing? Out of caution, Boss Liang cautiously inquired, ¡°Young man, what do you mean by that¡­?¡± ¡°Hey, it means nothing.¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s expression turned stern, his tone increasingly ominous, ¡°I, Ye Haochuan, have been mixing in Haishan for so many years. After all, I¡¯m a significant figure here. If people find out that I paid a high price of 500,000 yuan for a worthless fake, I¡¯m afraid those under me might not accept it quietly. If they come knocking on your door¡­hehe, Boss Liang, you understand.¡± Upon hearing his preceding remarks, Boss Liang almost wilted, his mind might be slow, but he knew there was a threat in those words. Frankly, facing someone like Old Han who had no power or influence, Boss Liang wouldn¡¯t be afraid, but dealing with Ye Haochuan, a man of unknown origins, he had to consider the consequences carefully. Anyone else might have chosen to flee, but Boss Liang couldn¡¯t. He had run this antique shop for many years, invested millions in its decor alone, and had built substantial connections here: running away would turn decades of effort into dust. He wasn¡¯t afraid of much, except that Ye Haochuan might send troublemakers to disturb his business frequently. What business could he do then? Thinking this, Boss Liang dared not hike the price arbitrarily anymore. However, he wasn¡¯t someone easily fooled. With a twirl of his eyes, he said, ¡°Young man, may I ask where you work?¡± ¡°Tianwei Group, you¡¯ve heard of it, right?¡± Ye Haochuan replied calmly. The Tianwei Group? Boss Liang was scared to the point of almost peeing himself. Good heavens, Tianwei Group was one of the top business giants in Haishan City; who would dare to provoke them? Watching the complex, distressed expression on Boss Liang¡¯s face, Ye Haochuan felt amused. He hadn¡¯t expected that using the name of Tianwei Group could let him strut around like a tiger. Haha, he was playing his part perfectly¡ªa full score was well deserved! But, speaking of which, he wasn¡¯t exactly bluffing. If Boss Liang dared to doubt him, one phone call to Li Tianwei would show whether this guy dared to act smug or not. However, Boss Liang was indeed hard to convince without seeing the coffin, still not believing easily, he flattered with a smile, ¡°So, young man, you¡¯re with Tianwei Group! My apologies for my rudeness. Oh, by the way, could you help me out? I¡¯ve always held great respect for President Li from Tianwei Group. Would you mind sharing his number? I¡¯d like to send him greetings during the holidays.¡± Greetings? Greet your sister! Do you think I¡¯m unaware of your sneaky motives? Aren¡¯t you just trying to verify whether I¡¯m bluffing? Ye Haochuan rolled his eyes and took out his phone, pulled up President Li¡¯s number, and handed it over, saying, ¡°See for yourself.¡± Boss Liang stretched his neck to look at the screen and saw the name ¡°Li Tianwei¡± prominently displayed in the contacts list. At this, Boss Liang totally believed Ye Haochuan and immediately softened up, making a show of saving President Li¡¯s phone number, then smiling and saying, ¡°You¡¯re an honest guy. Alright, for this painting, let¡¯s just cover your costs. For the number, let¡¯s choose something auspicious¡ª88,000. How about that?¡± In his view, dropping from 500,000 to 88,000 yuan was already quite generous. Unfortunately, he completely underestimated Ye Haochuan¡¯s determination to teach him a harsh lesson by cutting him down to size. ¡°88,000?¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head, ¡°It sounds auspicious indeed, but Boss Liang, you see, I have this temperament, I prefer not to bother with odds and ends in business. Let¡¯s round it up, either 80,000 or 90,000, what do you think?¡± Everyone present couldn¡¯t help but gasp in unison. Is that really how you negotiate? What if Boss Liang, shamelessly, asks for 90,000? Wouldn¡¯t you be losing an extra 2,000 yuan for nothing? Chapter 71 - 71 71 No Coincidence Without Fate ?71: Chapter 71: No Coincidence Without Fate 71: Chapter 71: No Coincidence Without Fate Speaking of shamelessness, Ye Haochuan claimed second place, and no one dared claim first. This Boss Liang was indeed a cunning one and quite shameless too, but in his presence, it was like a minor witch meeting a great sorcerer. Moreover, Boss Liang was quite wary of his identity, fearing he might offend him. Thus, he didn¡¯t dare to ask for too much, but with such acquiescence, he was somewhat reluctant. ¡°Young brother, this¡­ do you think we can negotiate a bit more on the price?¡± Boss Liang¡¯s throat felt a bit dry as he squeezed out the words. ¡°Negotiate? Haven¡¯t I been accommodating enough?¡± Ye Haochuan retorted, ¡°You bought this painting for only a thousand yuan. Look, I¡¯ll buy it for eighty thousand. Eighty thousand isn¡¯t a small amount; you could say you have made a fortune. So, what do you say, deal or no deal?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Boss Liang, eighty-eight thousand compared to eighty thousand is just an extra eight thousand yuan. To me, eight thousand yuan isn¡¯t much; to you it isn¡¯t much either. I won¡¯t hide it from you; I¡¯m buying this painting purely to help others out of urgency, I¡¯m not at all interested in this counterfeit piece of yours.¡± ¡°But, young brother, your price cut is too harsh. I¡¯ve already given up a lot of profit. Though it¡¯s a counterfeit, it has a history of over a hundred years, and from the style of the painting, it is indeed an excellent work¡­¡± ¡°Heh heh, Boss Liang, don¡¯t be too greedy. If you think the price is right, we have a deal. If you think it¡¯s too low, you can choose not to sell. However, let me put it plainly, if I can¡¯t buy it, no one else will be able to either!¡± Threats! Naked threats! The crowd around was all impressed by Ye Haochuan¡¯s assertiveness. Especially Chen Yushan, who had witnessed his bluffing firsthand and realized that apart from being able to fight and act recklessly, he was also eloquent, persuasive, and full of cunning intelligence. Seeing Ye Haochuan¡¯s half-smiling, half-serious expression, Boss Liang¡¯s heart pounded, and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Alright then, eighty thousand it is. I just hope you can say a few good words about me in front of President Li in the future.¡± As the deal was sealed, everyone present admired the transaction a little. Everyone was an expert; although the ancient painting was only a copy, it still had historical value, and it was inevitable that its value would double over the years. ¡°Awesome! I like it!¡± Ye Haochuan snapped his fingers with a pop, ¡°Give me your Alipay account, and I¡¯ll transfer the money.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes¡­¡± Boss Liang hastily reported his account details. Ye Haochuan promptly transferred eighty thousand yuan to him. Though the profit was less than expected, Boss Liang still beamed with joy, saying, ¡°Young brother, if you need anything else in the future, feel free to visit.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded nonchalantly. Fuck, come again next time? With your dishonest merchant character, genius would rather not come back here. Boss Liang, unaware of his thoughts, promptly had his men take down the painting and package it properly. It was only then that Ye Haochuan said to Old Han, ¡°Old Han, did you see? Your painting¡¯s price is at least eighty thousand. You sold it to him for just a thousand yesterday; you can imagine how big the difference is.¡± Old Han nodded. ¡°Old Han, do you have an Alipay account? I¡¯ll transfer the money to you,¡± said Ye Haochuan. ¡°Alipay account?¡± Old Han was completely confused. Ye Haochuan suddenly realized, Old Han clearly looked like someone who wasn¡¯t exposed to the world, more traditional, and how could he know about a convenient internet-based high-tech product like Alipay? With self-mockery, Ye Haochuan asked, ¡°Then do you have a bank card?¡± ¡°Bank card?¡± Old Han quickly nodded, ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Saying this, Old Han took out a worn-out bank card, which was from ICBC. Ye Haochuan took it, entered the bank card number, and then transferred one million yuan through his mobile Alipay. Chen Yushan was right beside him, and was shocked when she saw him transfer so much money: ¡°A million? You transferred a million?¡± What? A million? Everyone in the room found it unbelievable. Heck, are there really such fools existing in this world? Spending eighty thousand to buy a painting, moreover a fake one, giving it to Old Han was one thing, but to actually take out a million for others, was this guy¡¯s brain flooded with water? The antiques shop owner Boss Liang was also dumbfounded at this moment. What on earth was Ye Haochuan up to? How come I can¡¯t understand a damn thing? Old Han was even more in disbelief, excited, thrilled, and bewildered.. All sorts of thoughts flooded his mind, unsure how to express his gratitude to Ye Haochuan. Just as everyone was puzzled, a voice came through: ¡°This is the place, Brother Ding, let¡¯s go in¡­ Huh, Ye Haochuan.¡± Ye Haochuan turned his head and a smile appeared on his lips. Fuck, doesn¡¯t trouble love company? It was actually that kid Yu Cheng again! Ironically, right next to this kid, his ex-girlfriend He Yun, was actually mixed up with him again, even clinging to his arm with an intimate demeanor like a bird relying on a person. He Yun today, in a long white dress, her face lightly made up, her hair pulled up high, looked somewhat like a white lotus, but somehow, this image felt so fake, it clearly was just a saintly whore. Ye Haochuan frowned deeply, fuck, didn¡¯t I break them up last time? How come they are colluding together again in disgrace? At this moment, Ye Haochuan also noticed another person, who was indeed the Brother Ding mentioned by Yu Cheng. This person, in his mid-twenties, was slim and dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking very scholarly. However, Ye Haochuan saw a hint of coldness in his eyes beneath his glasses. Additionally, he always wore a smile on his face, but the smile seemed fake, giving people a feeling of hidden sharpness. Clearly, this person was no good. Moreover, from the two glamorously dressed beauties by his side, and the five or six bodyguards behind him, this person had a significant background, rich or noble, and had the air of a spoiled wealthy young master. At that moment, He Yun¡¯s gaze also came over, and upon seeing her ex-boyfriend, her eyes immediately burst with the light of hatred. No wonder she hated Ye Haochuan so much, she remembered clearly what happened yesterday at Shihao Grand Hotel. Being a petty and vindictive person, how could she not hold a grudge? ¡°Ye Haochuan, I really didn¡¯t think we would meet again so soon! What, are you also at this kind of classy place? Do you also understand the appreciation of antiques and paintings?¡± He Yun said with a face full of mockery. Fuck, what do you mean ¡®you also come to this kind of classy place¡¯? Are you classy? You should take a good look at yourself in the piss, you dumbass! Ye Haochuan was annoyed inside, and laughed: ¡°Yes, I came here specially when I was free to pose as culturally refined.¡± He Yun snorted disdainfully and muttered under her breath, ¡°Pretentious.¡± Although the sound was soft, Ye Haochuan, with his impressive inner strength cultivation, heard it clearly and felt even more annoyed instantly. Fuck, so what if I¡¯m pretentious? I have the ability, do you? Suddenly, Chen Yushan leaned over and asked softly, ¡°Who is this woman? Why does she seem to have a deep hatred for you?¡± ¡°She¡¯s my ex-girlfriend, He Yun,¡± Ye Haochuan said indifferently. Seeing He Yun clinging to a man dressed in gold and silver, yet ugly as sin, Chen Yushan immediately understood everything. No need to say, this woman is a complete gold-digger, but it seems she still doesn¡¯t know Ye Haochuan¡¯s true identity. Thinking of this, Chen Yushan felt somewhat sighful. This He Yun, her taste really sucked, not recognizing the fortune she had in her hands when she had such an outstanding boyfriend, and she ended up letting him go. At this moment, Yu Cheng and others had already reached Ye Haochuan. ¡°Ye Haochuan, we will settle our grievances later, but for now, you fuck off to the side and stay there,¡± Yu Cheng said fiercely. Chapter 72 - 72 72 The Angry Ex-Girlfriend ?72: Chapter 72: The Angry Ex-Girlfriend 72: Chapter 72: The Angry Ex-Girlfriend Which side are you on? Ye Haochuan¡¯s icy gaze grew even chillier, and he snorted, ¡°Yu Cheng, who the hell do you think you are? Daring to act arrogant in front of me?¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± Yu Cheng was furious. Just as he was about to throw a punch, Brother Ding stepped in and said, ¡°Alright, alright, Young Master Yu, we¡¯re here for business today, not to cause trouble.¡± Yu Cheng then held back, huffing at Ye Haochuan, ¡°Ye Haochuan, consider yourself lucky today. Brother Ding pleaded for you. Don¡¯t think you¡¯re something special just because you have a connection with President Li of Tianwei Group. Let me tell you, compared to Brother Ding, he¡¯s nothing, get it?¡± The crowd was shocked¡ªthey were stunned that even the mighty President Li of Tianwei Group was nothing in front of this Brother Ding. Just how impressive was Brother Ding? Pfft, no matter how impressive, could he be more impressive than our Ancient Martial Arts Sect? Ye Haochuan let out a cold laugh, ¡°Who is he? How come I¡¯ve never heard of such a person in Haishan?¡± ¡°Damn, you¡¯re really blind. Let me tell you, Brother Ding¡¯s identity, once revealed, will scare you to death! He¡¯s Eldest Young Master Xiao Ding, from Haishan¡¯s largest business group¡ªthe Xiao Group.¡± Eldest Young Master Xiao of the Xiao Group? Ye Haochuan frowned, remembering that Haishan University was controlled by the Xiao Group. That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, isn¡¯t the beautiful chairwoman coincidentally surnamed Xiao? However, he had no idea what the relationship was between Xiao Haimei and this Xiao Ding. Thinking of the kindness the beautiful chairwoman had shown him, and not wanting to incur trouble without understanding their relationship, Ye Haochuan smiled and said, ¡°So it¡¯s Eldest Young Master Xiao. Forgive my disrespect.¡± Seeing Ye Haochuan¡¯s respect for him, Xiao Ding nodded in satisfaction, although his demeanor was still somewhat arrogant, ¡°I¡¯ve heard about you. You¡¯re Ye Haochuan, a mere doctor at our Xiao Group¡¯s Haishan University, right?¡± Ye Haochuan frowned, somewhat displeased by the way he spoke, but nodded anyway. Upon hearing this, the antique store Boss Liang was suddenly surprised. Damn, he¡¯s not from Tianwei Group? Then what the hell was he scared of him for? He immediately regretted selling that counterfeit painting for a measly price of eighty thousand yuan. ¡°You¡¯re quite talented. How about this, are you interested in joining us? I have a private hospital, and the conditions are good. I guarantee you a generous package,¡± Xiao Ding offered with a smile. A generous package? Give me a break! Right now, I¡¯m doing fine at Haishan University, living with four charming beauties, and life couldn¡¯t be more comfortable. What¡¯s the point of going to a private hospital? Moreover, leaving would mean letting down the beautiful chairwoman¡¯s expectations, wouldn¡¯t it? ¡°Sorry, Eldest Young Master Xiao, but I¡¯m a man of modest desires who prefers a life of ease and freedom. Besides, I¡¯m doing quite well at Haishan University, heh heh.¡± That was a flat rejection. Xiao Ding¡¯s face darkened as he snorted, ¡°Ungrateful.¡± He didn¡¯t bother soliciting Ye Haochuan any further. Ye Haochuan¡¯s expression shifted, but considering the beautiful chairwoman, he still held back. Afterward, Xiao Ding gave Yu Cheng a look that said, ¡°Let¡¯s get down to business.¡± Getting the signal, Yu Cheng said to the antique shop Boss Liang, ¡°I heard this painting is an authentic piece by Gu Kaizhi, used as the treasure of your store?¡± Hearing the words ¡°treasure of the store,¡± Boss Liang felt his face burning; it was just a counterfeit, and he had absurdly claimed it to be the store¡¯s treasure. The slap to his face was loud and painful! ¡°This brother must be joking, this painting is not the ¡®treasure of the store¡¯ at all, it¡¯s actually just a counterfeit, imitated by someone a hundred years ago,¡± Boss Liang said with a forced smile. ¡°Imitated?¡± Xiao Ding furrowed his brows deeply and turned to Yu Cheng, ¡°Damn it, didn¡¯t you say this painting by Gu Kaizhi was genuine? Made me rush over for nothing, only to find out it¡¯s a fake!¡± Feeling Xiao Ding¡¯s murderous gaze, Yu Cheng trembled in fear and quickly plastered a smile on his face, ¡°Brother Ding, calm down, calm down, I didn¡¯t expect this either.¡± Xiao Ding swore, ¡°Damn it, you make it sound so easy. I just bragged to my mom and blew it big time, saying I¡¯d definitely bring a grand gift for Old Master Xiao¡¯s birthday, and now it turns out to be a counterfeit!¡± ¡°Brother Ding, I was wrong,¡± Yu Cheng said, his face twisted with regret. However, the guy had some cunning ideas. He quickly added, ¡°But, Brother Ding, the urgent matter at hand is to make the best of a bad situation. If it comes to it, just present this painting on Elder Xiao¡¯s birthday. You can say you dare not confirm if it¡¯s a genuine Gu Kaizhi, and request Elder Xiao to appraise it himself. Regardless of its authenticity, it would show your filial piety. Elder Xiao will only think you are being candid and filial¡­¡± Xiao Ding¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Great idea!¡± Listening to their conversation, Ye Haochuan sneered inwardly, ¡°Damn it, with such schemes, you still have the nerve to claim you¡¯re honest and filial?¡± Once they made their plans, Yu Cheng immediately asked Boss Liang, ¡°How much for the painting?¡± With a sense of resignation, Boss Liang said, ¡°Sorry, the painting has already been sold. The buyer is this Brother Ye. He paid eighty thousand for it.¡± ¡°What?¡± Yu Cheng was stunned for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Boss Liang then explained the whole story and also mentioned the detail about transferring one million to Old Han. ¡°Damn, where did this guy get so much money? To transfer one million without a second thought?¡± Yu Cheng exclaimed in shock. Xiao Ding¡¯s brows also furrowed slightly, and he looked at Ye Haochuan with a mock smile, ¡°No wonder you wouldn¡¯t ¡®move to another branch.¡¯ Turns out you¡¯re a rich tycoon!¡± He Yun, on the other hand, couldn¡¯t believe it. She knew better than anyone the state of her ex-boyfriend¡¯s finances. Getting a thousand bucks out of him was like pulling teeth, she thought, and now, right after they had broken up, he had so much money! But soon after, she began to feel angry. She had been his girlfriend for years, and he had kept her completely in the dark, preferring to generously give Old Han, this poor sap, a million instead of spending on her. What a jerk! ¡°Ye Haochuan, you scumbag, what¡¯s the meaning of this? S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You¡¯re so rich, and yet you kept me in the dark?¡± He Yun fumed. What does she mean by ¡®kept her completely in the dark¡¯? Ye Haochuan was speechless and snorted, ¡°He Yun, what are you to me, huh? Why do I have to tell you if I have money?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± He Yun was at a loss for words. At that moment, she suddenly noticed the police uniform-clad Chen Yushan standing very close to Ye Haochuan, looking quite intimate. He Yun¡¯s mind raced as she speculated¡ªcould this policewoman be Ye Haochuan¡¯s new girlfriend? When women are together, they inevitably compare themselves. Seeing Chen Yushan, although dressed in a police uniform with no expensive jewelry or necklaces, she had an air of superiority that seemed much higher than He Yun¡¯s, stirring feelings of imbalance and even jealousy in her. For some reason, He Yun didn¡¯t know what came over her and said with a sneer, ¡°Ye Haochuan, you¡¯re quite something, huh? In just a few days, you¡¯ve already found a new girlfriend¡ªdamn, and it¡¯s a policewoman, no less. Your taste isn¡¯t ordinary at all.¡± Just as Ye Haochuan was about to retort with a none of your business, Chen Yushan got annoyed, ¡°Hey, He Yun, watch your mouth. What¡¯s wrong with policewomen? How is that a heavy taste? You believe I won¡¯t handcuff you right now and take you to the police station?¡± Chapter 73 - 73 73 Pretend Act Turns Real! ?73: Chapter 73 Pretend Act Turns Real! S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 73: Chapter 73 Pretend Act Turns Real! Upon hearing this, He Yun got startled, not wanting to be handcuffed and taken to the police station. She muttered under her breath, ¡°A People¡¯s Policeman? Why so fierce?¡± Although she spoke softly, Chen Yushan overheard her and glared at her. It must be said that her glare had a certain murderous intent that truly frightened He Yun, preventing her from causing any more trouble. But this despicable woman always had a way; if she couldn¡¯t use force, she¡¯d resort to cunning, speaking in an insinuating tone, ¡°Hey, officer, you mustn¡¯t let this guy deceive you. I¡¯ve been with him for several years, and despite his wealth, he kept me in the dark. If you¡¯re with him, I¡¯m afraid you wouldn¡¯t know how much money he¡¯s hiding from you either¡­¡± Chen Yushan rolled her eyes and snorted, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to worry about my affairs. Besides, my relationship with him is based on understanding each other¡¯s hearts. It¡¯s not necessary for me to know how much money he has. When two people are together, they seek happiness, not money.¡± The moment she said this, everyone around couldn¡¯t help but admire her. A girl like this is truly the epitome of a virtuous wife and good mother! Ye Haochuan, however, was stunned on the spot, thinking, What does this mean? I haven¡¯t developed any kind of romantic relationship with her, have I? And now she¡¯s coming onto me, implicitly acknowledging herself as my girlfriend? ¡°What did you just say?¡± Ye Haochuan felt a bit dizzy. ¡°Haochuan,¡± Chen Yushan suddenly linked her arm with his, a charming smile appearing on her pretty face, ¡°Alright, from now on we must cherish our time together, happy and blissful every day.¡± Ye Haochuan became more bewildered. Could this beautiful police officer have taken the wrong medicine? At that moment, a voice forced to be low whispered from Chen Yushan¡¯s mouth, ¡°How¡¯s that? Pretending to be your girlfriend, standing up for you in front of your ex-girlfriend, feels good, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly understood and filled with gratitude towards her. However, that grateful thought disappeared as quickly as it came when he heard her continue with a chuckle, ¡°I¡¯m not helping you for free, mind you. A reward of one million, just enough to offset the cost of treating my injury, right?¡± Damn! Charging me one million just for this favor? Does she really think I¡¯m some big spender? Ye Haochuan was speechless, but given the current circumstances, he still needed her to keep up the act. To take down He Yun, this despicable woman, what¡¯s one million? Yet, Ye Haochuan also felt a tingling hate¡ªhow could this gorgeous police officer scheme against him, and why should he let it slide without retaliation? ¡°Why are you helping me like this?¡± Ye Haochuan asked through clenched teeth. Seemingly detecting his thoughts, Chen Yushan giggled lightly and said, ¡°Because¡­ you¡¯re a good person.¡± A good person? Laughable! That word, ¡®good person,¡¯ ceased to apply to me from the moment I broke up with He Yun! And I have no intention of being a good person anymore! Especially in front of women¡ªI have the least desire to play the nice guy! With these thoughts in mind, a wicked idea surged in Ye Haochuan¡¯s heart. In one swift move, he embraced Chen Yushan, laughing heartily, ¡°Well said, being together is about happiness, not money!¡± After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and planted a firm kiss on Chen Yushan¡¯s soft cheek. Being pulled into his embrace already made Chen Yushan feel uncomfortable, and the kiss on her cheek made her complexion pale instantly. This awful bad guy, she was only cooperating with his act out of gratitude, and he turned the fake play into reality! At the same time, she felt a twinge of regret in her heart. Having just seen him generously transfer one million to Old Han, his image as a bad guy in her mind was completely overturned, making her think he was generous and quite a decent person. That¡¯s why, on a whim, she had posed as his new girlfriend in front of He Yun. But she had never expected that this scoundrel, unable to change his villainous ways, would take advantage of the situation to take advantage of her. For a moment, the angrier she thought about it, the sneakier she got, putting her hand on his waist and pinching it hard. Ye Haochuan immediately felt a pain in his waist and almost cried out. This beautiful police officer was really not someone to be trifled with! But unfortunately for you, you¡¯ve met me, your nemesis! Ye Haochuan then activated the Longevity Technique, and soon, a large amount of True Qi gathered around his waist. No matter how hard Chen Yushan tried, it was in vain. Ye Haochuan was secretly thrilled. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Chen Yushan felt like dying but was powerless against him. After struggling in vain, she thought she still needed him to continue her treatment, so she had no choice but to submit to the circumstances. However, deep down inside, she made up her mind to settle the score with this villain later. Just then, a mocking voice came through: ¡°Damn, a fine piece of cabbage has been ruined by a pig.¡± Ye Haochuan glared in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Yu Cheng speaking. He immediately retorted with sarcasm, ¡°Right, and an ugly pig like you could only ruin a rotten cabbage.¡± People around couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, cheering on Ye Haochuan¡¯s quick wit. Being called an ugly pig, Yu Cheng was furious to the point of explosion. He Yun was fuming, rotten cabbage? That was clearly a mockery of herself! This bastard! Seeing the two of them on the verge of losing their temper, Xiao Ding frowned and shouted, ¡°Enough, both of you, cut it out. We haven¡¯t taken care of the important business yet, and you¡¯re causing trouble for me.¡± Yu Cheng and He Yun, the conspiring pair, had no choice but to calm down. It was then that Xiao Ding arrogantly ordered Ye Haochuan, ¡°Ye Haochuan, name your price. How about you sell me that Gu Kaizhi imitation you bought?¡± Ye Haochuan was annoyed by his arrogance and shook his head, ¡°Sorry, not for sale!¡± ¡°What?¡± Xiao Ding¡¯s voice suddenly rose a few octaves. Seeing a chance, Yu Cheng on the side jumped out and shouted, ¡°How dare you speak to the master like that, Ye Haochuan! Do you know the consequences? Believe it or not, Brother Ding can have you fired with just one word, making you jobless?¡± Fired? Make me jobless? Ye Haochuan sneered, ¡°Then do it, who¡¯s afraid of whom?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Yu Cheng was furious. ¡°Damn it, shut up, you do more harm than good!¡± Xiao Ding cursed, ¡°Your mom also should think about it; the man didn¡¯t even blink an eye at dropping a million, will he care about a job that pays a few thousand a month?¡± Yu Cheng immediately drooped his head down and said no more. Then Xiao Ding said to Ye Haochuan in a deep voice, ¡°Ye Haochuan, from the moment you saved Li Tianwei¡¯s son, Li Wenfeng, I knew you were a talent. Don¡¯t worry, just name your price, and I¡¯ll do my best to fulfill it.¡± Ye Haochuan was about to refuse but suddenly had a change of heart and smiled, ¡°Since Eldest Young Master Xiao has said so, I¡¯d look bad rejecting you in front of the chairman. Well, if that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll name a price¡­ one billion!¡± What? A billion? The entire place was in shock! Chapter 74 - 74 74 No Room for Negotiation ?74: Chapter 74: No Room for Negotiation 74: Chapter 74: No Room for Negotiation Once Ye Haochuan spoke, almost everyone thought of him as a madman. Some even looked down on him with disdain, especially Boss Liang who was really irritated. Shit, he thought, I spent a thousand to buy it, sold it to you for eighty thousand, and now you, even more ruthless, flip it for a billion? Could you be any more shameless? This time, Yu Cheng couldn¡¯t hold back and yelled, ¡°Ye Haochuan, what the hell do you mean? Asking for the sky and expecting to be paid on the ground, right? A billion? Is such a counterfeit even worth a billion?¡± He Yun seized the opportunity to taunt, ¡°I think he¡¯s gone mad from greed, what a scumbag!¡± Xiao Ding¡¯s face was extremely ugly, this Ye Haochuan was clearly doing this to oppose him on purpose. It seemed that this man was truly loyal to that bitch Haimie. If that¡¯s the case, I can¡¯t be blamed for the delight in taking him down after! With this thought, Xiao Ding snorted coldly and said, ¡°So you¡¯re saying you¡¯ve made up your mind not to sell the painting to me?¡± ¡°Not at all, not at all!¡± Ye Haochuan shook his head and smiled, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m unwilling to sell, but the price is indeed as such.¡± Ye Haochuan, don¡¯t go too far, don¡¯t think just because you have the backing of Li Tianwei from Tianwei Group that you can act all high and mighty,¡± Yu Cheng shouted loudly. ¡°Let me tell you, we don¡¯t look up to you at all. Who is he anyway? The esteemed Eldest Young Master Xiao of Xiao Group, the future heir of the group. What is Li Tianwei compared to him? He isn¡¯t even worthy to carry shoes for our Brother Ding!¡± The speaker meant nothing by it, but the listener took it to heart. Boss Liang from the antiques shop had a sudden thought: although President Li of Tianwei Group was powerful, Eldest Young Master Xiao of Xiao Group was evidently more prominent. If he could pick out a good painting for Eldest Young Master Xiao and get on good terms with the Xiao Family, he could make a fortune! With this in mind, Boss Liang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Eldest Young Master Xiao, this is just a counterfeit. How about this, I have many famous paintings here, you can pick and choose, and we can negotiate the price.¡± Xiao Ding gave him a disdainful look and said, ¡°What¡¯s the use of that, my old man only likes Gu Kaizhi¡¯s paintings.¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Boss Liang was deflated and shrank back in vexation. Xiao Ding turned his gaze back to Ye Haochuan and said in a mocking tone, ¡°Ye Haochuan, don¡¯t refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit. Although I, Xiao Ding, have withdrawn from the Haishan University board of directors, I still have a say in this piece of Haishan¡¯s land, and I have plenty of brothers from the underworld who depend on me. With just one word from me, none of them would dare to mess with you. But if I don¡¯t protect you, I can¡¯t guarantee they won¡¯t come looking for trouble.¡± Damn, isn¡¯t this a barefaced threat? Heh, I fear nothing but threats! Ye Haochuan sneered inwardly, but tearing his face off at this moment was not what he wanted. Otherwise, if the beautiful CEO found out and asked him to get lost, how would he continue his grand plan of chasing after rich and beautiful women in Building No. 7? ¡°Eldest Young Master Xiao, you¡¯ve misunderstood me. To be honest, the reason why I¡¯ve set such a high price for this painting is due to the fact that there¡¯s more to the painting than meets the eye.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat surprised. Especially Boss Liang from the antique shop, who wondered to himself how he could have missed something after decades in the antique circle. Could there really be more to this painting? Everyone¡¯s interest was piqued. Ye Haochuan let out a sly laugh, had an antiques shop employee bring over a basin of water, and immersed his right palm into the water. Then he activated the Longevity Technique, infusing his right palm with Longevity True Qi. After a while, mist started rising from his right palm, and the ancient painting¡¯s paper began to moisten quickly. ¡°Qigong?¡± Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and many secretly admired that such a young man possessed such a level of qigong cultivation, which was no simple feat. What they didn¡¯t know was that Ye Haochuan¡¯s actual cultivation was not limited to the lower levels of qigong. Instead, it was the Postnatal Early Stage that countless followers of the Martial Arts Path sought after. What would they think if they knew? Just then, Ye Haochuan suddenly spoke to Boss Liang from the antique shop, ¡°Do you have tweezers?¡± Boss Liang gave a subordinate a meaningful glance, who hurried to the back hall, and soon returned with a pair of tweezers in hand. Ye Haochuan took the tweezers, carefully picked at the corner of the paper with its tip, and then slowly began to peel it back. His movements were very gentle, extremely cautious to the utmost degree. About five minutes later, the outer layer of the paper had been peeled away, revealing an interlayer that was hardly noticeable to the naked eye. This interlayer paper obviously had some age; it was even older than the outer layer. However, cleverly, because the imitator of the outer layer must have baked the paper, the colors were very similar. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was precisely because of this that the deception had gone undetected. Following that, Ye Haochuan continued to lift the paper with the tweezers, and as the interlayer became increasingly exposed, a mountain and water painting identical to the outer one came into everyone¡¯s view. Looking at the seal and the signature, it was in small seal script, the three big characters ¡°Gu Kaizhi¡± leaping forth from the paper, clearer than the seal on the outer layer. Many in the room were connoisseurs, and at this sight, all were crazed. ¡°Heavens, this is a genuine work by Gu Kaizhi.¡± ¡°This is incredible, what they call a ¡®painting within a painting¡¯, today I¡¯ve truly witnessed it.¡± ¡°I never imagined that this unassuming copied painting would hide such a secret.¡± ¡°This kid has struck it rich now, this is an authentic Gu Kaizhi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Such an ancient era and a work by a master.¡± ¡°Damn it, I must have been blind, I said before it was a fake, if I had acquired it then, this painting would be mine now.¡± ¡­ At that moment, everyone was envious and jealous, many even regretted to the point of feeling sick. The antique shop owner, Boss Liang¡¯s face turned ashen, his entire body trembling uncontrollably, even harboring thoughts of suicide. Damn it, how could I have been so stupid? So foolish? To miss such a world-renowned masterpiece, and not recognize it! On the other side, Eldest Young Master Xiao Ding, amidst his shock, was also extremely excited. The old master always appreciated works by masters of the Eastern Jin, be it Wang Xizhi or Gu Kaizhi, they were all among the old master¡¯s favorites. For this reason, the old master went so far as to spend a great deal of money to buy back a large number of cultural relics taken away by the British-French Coalition Forces during the Opium Wars from Great Britain, including Gu Kaizhi¡¯s ¡°Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies,¡± which he acquired for one billion yuan. Xiao Ding was daydreaming optimistically; if he could buy this authentic piece by Gu Kaizhi and use it to please the old master, he would certainly win the old master¡¯s heart, securing a more advanced and stable position on the group¡¯s board of directors. ¡°Ye Haochuan, how about this, I¡¯ll offer fifty million to buy your painting, what do you say?¡± Xiao Ding said, full of expectation. Fifty million! Everyone in the room was stirred up, and although this price was still some distance away from the one billion Ye Haochuan had decreed, fifty million was already a huge sum. However, Ye Haochuan simply shook his head decisively: ¡°Given the value of this painting, one billion is the most conservative price, there¡¯s no room for negotiation.¡± Chapter 75 - 75 75 Boss Liangs Regret ?75: Chapter 75: Boss Liang¡¯s Regret 75: Chapter 75: Boss Liang¡¯s Regret Xiao Ding was stunned, then a look of anger appeared on his face. This Ye Haochuan clearly wanted to confront him, not yielding at all! In the past, a hundred million was no big deal to him, easily raised with just a word. But now the situation was different. His position was very precarious, every move under scrutiny. If someone in the family noticed, it would definitely shake his status. Moreover, even raising fifty million at once was difficult for him, and he needed to borrow from relatives and friends. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Ye Haochuan, fifty million is already no small amount. Don¡¯t be so greedy as to bite off more than you can chew,¡± Xiao Ding said coldly. ¡°Heh heh, Eldest Young Master Xiao, a hundred million might be nothing to you, but for me, it¡¯s different. I¡¯m just a poor guy who also wants to marry dozens of beautiful wives and have a bundle of kids. If I don¡¯t work hard to make money, how can I support them?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a grin. Marry dozens of beautiful wives? Xiao Ding was speechless. Damn it! Do you think you¡¯re building a harem? I, the Eldest Young Master of the Xiao Family, can only marry one wife, yet you dare to marry dozens? What regard do you have for the national marriage law? Chen Yushan secretly spat at him. A sleazy man, who would marry such a scoundrel? They must be sick! He Yun, however, scoffed repeatedly. Everyone can talk big. Also, marrying so many wives, aren¡¯t you afraid of being worn out? The bystanders all smiled wryly, everyone thought he was joking, not knowing that he truly dreamed of doing just that. ¡°Ye Haochuan, can¡¯t you be a bit accommodating? Rest assured, if you are willing to compromise, I won¡¯t forget to return the favor in the future,¡± Xiao Ding said in a grave tone. Ye Haochuan chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m sorry then, Eldest Young Master Xiao, I¡¯m the kind of person who really dislikes verbal promises. I only like tangible benefits. If you don¡¯t have a hundred million, then we have nothing to talk about.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± A hint of sharpness flashed in Xiao Ding¡¯s eyes. This Ye Haochuan, truly too ungrateful. Considering he was the prestigious Eldest Young Master Xiao, always being flattered, when had he ever been so snubbed? ¡°Ye Haochuan, I have been forbearing with you again and again. You should think carefully, repudiating me won¡¯t lead to a good outcome!¡± Xiao Ding began to threaten. ¡°Not a good outcome?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed heartily, ¡°Eldest Young Master Xiao, do you think I¡¯m easily frightened?¡± Xiao Ding was completely infuriated, just about to have his bodyguards give Ye Haochuan a lesson when suddenly, an antique shop owner, Boss Liang, loudly said, ¡°Eldest Young Master Xiao, don¡¯t bother with this kid. This painting is still mine, if he won¡¯t sell it to you, I will!¡± What? Ye Haochuan glared angrily, ¡°Damn it, bastard, I¡¯ve already paid you, and now you dare to go back on your word?¡± Boss Liang sneered, ¡°So what if you¡¯ve paid? The painting is still in my shop, so it¡¯s still mine. If you think it¡¯s not enough, I can refund you eight hundred thousand instead of eighty thousand!¡± Boss Liang played his cards well. An authentic piece from Gu Kaizhi, definitely worth over a hundred million. A hundred million! Even if he worked in antiques his whole life, he might not make that much money. Although this approach would bring criticism, for the sake of money, he would rather be cursed. Wealth was worth dying for, and food worth killing for, right? The surrounding people all looked disapprovingly; Boss Liang was shamelessly beyond limits, why wasn¡¯t he struck by lightning? Old Han was particularly furious, cursing, ¡°Liang! Have you no shame? Previously you kept my painting, insisting it was sold to you, no take-backs. Now, you¡¯ve already sold the painting to Junior Brother Ye, but you backtrack on your word. What is the meaning of this?¡± Old Han¡¯s words garnered widespread support from the onlookers; Boss Liang was indeed being too unscrupulous to retract his promises this way. Unfortunately for Boss Liang, he showed no signs of repentance and snorted, ¡°Who said I already agreed to sell it to him? The painting is still in my shop, right? As long as it¡¯s still in my shop, it¡¯s still mine¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s yours my ass!¡± Already unable to contain his anger, Ye Haochuan launched a kick that sent the greedy merchant flying, his mouth spewing fresh blood that looked like fish bubbles. It must be said, money can indeed make people lose their senses. Even after getting kicked, Boss Liang did not learn his lesson. With the help of a few employees, he staggered to his feet, wiped his mouth, and roared, ¡°Damn it, what are you all staring for, hurry and grab the painting back! Whoever gets it, I¡¯ll reward them with a million!¡± Since he had decided to latch onto noble figures like Eldest Young Master Xiao, Boss Liang no longer feared the Tianwei Group backing Ye Haochuan and was determined to break ties with Ye Haochuan. But had he considered what standing he had to break ties with Ye Haochuan? However, a hefty reward can spur bravery. The antiques shop employees, upon receiving their boss¡¯s orders, charged forward menacingly to snatch the genuine article from Gu Kaizhi. Meanwhile, Xiao Ding signaled his bodyguards to seize this good opportunity and join the fray. At the same time, among the onlookers, many harbored ill intentions towards the painting and were itching to make a move. However, they soon discarded this impractical idea. Because Ye Haochuan was too strong, strong enough to make them feel cautious, scared, and utterly terrified. As soon as the antiques shop employees rushed forward to snatch, Ye Haochuan instantly unleashed the Bone Fracture Hand, crushing their hand bones in a blink. They collapsed on the ground, wailing miserably. With such ruthless methods, who would dare to make a reckless move? Even Boss Liang was so scared that his face turned white as if he had just lost his father. As for Xiao Ding¡¯s side, especially his bodyguards, they all shook their heads; facing such a formidable and harsh character, they were no match at all! And those people who were previously restless also settled down considerably. In the whole scene, the woman who felt the most surprised and most shocked was undoubtedly He Yun. Thinking how she had been with Ye Haochuan for so long and never realized not only was he so wealthy but his martial arts were so powerful, radiating an irresistible masculine charm, what did this indicate? It only showed that she was blind and had no discernment! Smack smack! Ye Haochuan clapped his hands and looked around imperiously, his gaze like he was evaluating a bunch of insignificant critters, and authoritatively said, ¡°Whoever is not afraid of getting bones broken, come on up!¡± While many people froze in fear, even more clapped loudly, clearly disliking Boss Liang¡¯s actions. Seeing no one dared to move, Ye Haochuan smirked internally; strength really was the ultimate argument, truly indisputable! With that thought, Ye Haochuan leisurely rolled up both the replica and the genuine articles of Gu Kaizhi¡¯s painting. However, the disgruntled Boss Liang, at this point, started to cry foul to the only police officer present, Chen Yushan, ¡°Officer, you have to stand up for me, this Ye Haochuan not only stole the treasure of my shop but also assaulted people, hurry up and arrest him, you must arrest him.¡± Chapter 76 - 76 76 Seizure ?76: Chapter 76 Seizure 76: Chapter 76 Seizure ¡°Arrest him?¡± sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chen Yushan looked at Boss Liang mockingly and said sternly, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m blind? Your conscience must have been eaten by a dog. First, you pocketed Old Man Han¡¯s painting, and now you backpedal and try to steal Haochuan¡¯s work. In my opinion, the person who should be arrested isn¡¯t someone else; it¡¯s you!¡± Hearing this, Boss Liang stumbled; if it weren¡¯t for his men supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground. After regaining his footing, Boss Liang became frantic and pointed his finger at Chen Yushan¡¯s nose, cursing, ¡°You bitch, acting all high and mighty just because you¡¯re wearing black leather. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what your relationship is; you¡¯re his girlfriend. What right do you have to point fingers and make judgments?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Chen Yushan was so angry her nose was askew. However, to be fair, although she was a police officer, she had just acknowledged she was the bad guy¡¯s girlfriend, which indeed was not proper for her to speak out for Haochuan, no matter how justified he was! Seeing Chen Yushan at a disadvantage, Boss Liang grew even more smug and told his subordinates, ¡°Quick, call the police station, and report this bitch.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, a loud voice came from the door, ¡°Report whom?¡± All eyes turned towards the entrance, only to see a large group of police officers entering. Haochuan recognized the leader at once; it was Captain Wang Qiang. He was also the one who had spoken! Upon noticing Haochuan, Captain Wang Qiang¡¯s heart skipped a beat, thinking, damn, how come this guy is everywhere? As soon as he saw Captain Wang, Boss Liang rushed over like he had seen his own father, tearfully recounting how Haochuan had stolen paintings and beaten people. Wang Qiang frowned heavily, thinking, great, it¡¯s related to Haochuan again, hoping that Haochuan was in the right, otherwise, it would be a difficult situation to handle. ¡°Nonsense, it¡¯s your own inconstancy that¡¯s to blame!¡± Seeing his benefactor being slandered by Boss Liang, Elder Han, who had not spoken until now, was unstoppable in his anger and said, ¡°Officer, you must not listen to this crook¡¯s words; they¡¯re not truthful¡­¡± He then explained what had transpired in detail. As the saying goes, ¡°The just cause enjoys abundant support, while the unjust cause finds little.¡± Elder Han¡¯s words immediately won the approval of the onlookers. Wang Qiang turned to the only police officer present, Chen Yushan, for confirmation, and after receiving a definitive response, he became furious, ¡°Shameless crook, to dare twist right and wrong in front of me, damn it, this must be handled seriously. Men, take this crook away. Seal up his shop as well!¡± Upon hearing this, Boss Liang¡¯s vision darkened, clearly not expecting the situation to escalate to this point; he hurriedly admitted his fault and begged for mercy. But it was already too late. Wang Qiang bellowed, ¡°Damn it, do you think it¡¯s all settled with an apology and compensation? Cut the crap and lock him up for a few days first!¡± Two police officers, without further ado, hoisted Boss Liang up and dragged him out like a dead dog towards the police car. Next, Wang Qiang arranged for people to seal the antique shop and send the employees away. The crowd that had gathered also left the antique shop, and everyone applauded the capture of a swindler like Boss Liang, feeling a great sense of satisfaction. As for the young master Xiao Ding and others, they took advantage of the chaos to leave the scene. However, before leaving, Xiao Ding looked at Ye Haochuan with a gleam of viciousness in his eyes that was difficult for others to detect, thinking, ¡°Ye Haochuan, dare to oppose me, Xiao Ding, I¡¯ll make sure you won¡¯t even know how you died.¡± After securing the painting, Ye Haochuan and Old Han stepped outside. ¡°Old Han, now you understand why I gave you a million before, right?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. ¡°Understood, understood,¡± Old Han said with admiration, ¡°Junior Brother Ye is impressive. I¡¯ve guarded this ancestral painting for decades and never found the secret compartment. It¡¯s truly embarrassing.¡± Ye Haochuan laughed and said, ¡°Old Han, you¡¯re not an expert in this field, so it¡¯s not strange that you didn¡¯t find the compartment. That swindler Boss Liang has been in antiques for decades, and he didn¡¯t discover it either, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, that¡¯s true¡­¡± Old Han¡¯s face, wrinkled like tree bark, lit up with a joyous smile, but then he said resentfully, ¡°Thank goodness that bastard didn¡¯t find it. Otherwise, he might not have been willing to sell the painting to you.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded and then suddenly said, ¡°Old Han, to tell you the truth, I really do want this painting. How about the million I just gave you, do you think it¡¯s enough? If not, I¡¯m willing to add more¡­¡± Before he could finish, Old Han immediately waved his hand and said, ¡°No, no, no, Junior Brother Ye, you¡¯ve already helped me a great deal, how could I have the shameless audacity to ask for a higher price from you?¡± Ye Haochuan went on, ¡°But, thinking about your grandson buying a wedding house, a million might not be enough to get something satisfactory. Don¡¯t worry, Old Han, with the value of this authentic Gu Kaizhi painting, even five million wouldn¡¯t be too much.¡± Still, Old Han shook his head vigorously and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, don¡¯t say that. A million is already a huge sum for an old man like me. In our countryside, a million can build three or four small western-style buildings. I¡¯m content. Plus, if it weren¡¯t for you stepping in today, I might not have even got that million!¡± Hearing Old Han¡¯s words, Ye Haochuan immediately felt a deep respect, and his previous impression of Old Han being unreasonable completely disappeared. But thinking back on it, it was also understandable. After all, the ancestral painting was his hope for buying his grandson a wedding house, and to be deceived by a swindler like Boss Liang, how could he not be furious? If it had been him, he probably would have exploded with anger and charged straight in to start a fight! At this point, Old Han wore a look of shame, saying, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s so humiliating. I, Old Han, have lived to this age and have come to claim something I¡¯ve already sold. It¡¯s embarrassing, so embarrassing¡­¡± Just as Ye Haochuan was about to console him, Chen Yushan and Officer Wang Qiang went their separate ways and directly approached. Yushan unexpectedly dragged Ye Haochuan to a secluded corner with a look of deep resentment in her wide-open almond eyes, exclaiming, ¡°Oh, you, Haochuan, daring to take advantage of me just now, do you have a death wish or what?¡± Old Han was dumbstruck, not knowing what she said due to the distance but seeing her furious demeanor, he thought it was utterly outrageous for such an aggressive and domineering woman to treat her boyfriend this way. Watching Chen Yushan¡¯s anger making her full bosom heave with every breath, Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but swallow and said with a cheeky grin, ¡°Wife, why are you so angry?¡± ¡°Who is your wife? Watch your mouth around me!¡± Chen Yushan scolded, grabbing his collar. Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you admit it yourself back in the antique shop?¡± ¡°Admit my foot!¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s anger was unstoppable, ¡°That was me playing along with you, to save your face in front of your ex-girlfriend, got it?¡± Chapter 77 - 77 77 Introducing My Girlfriend Extra Added ?77: Chapter 77: Introducing My Girlfriend (Extra Chapter Added) 77: Chapter 77: Introducing My Girlfriend (Extra Chapter Added) Watching Chen Yushan get angry, like a mother leopard, Ye Haochuan found it amusing and laughed, ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Chen Yushan raised her fist, ready to smash it down. Damn, this violent maniac, will she ever stop? Ye Haochuan hurriedly said, ¡°Hey hey hey, Officer Chen, I warn you, don¡¯t forget you still haven¡¯t fully recovered from your menstrual disorder. If you dare get rough with me, I¡¯ll wash my hands of it!¡± Chen Yushan immediately shivered, thinking if she beat him up and he retaliated in secret or even used it as an excuse to extend the treatment, wouldn¡¯t she be giving him more advantage? With a resentful withdrawal of her hand, Chen Yushan angrily said, ¡°Ye Haochuan, I¡¯ll let you off this time, Grandma, but well¡­¡± As she spoke, she revealed a strange smile. Ye Haochuan felt a bit odd and said, ¡°But what?¡± Chen Yushan huffed, ¡°This time you made a fortune, shouldn¡¯t you give Grandma a little commission?¡± Commission? Ye Haochuan instantly got it and with amusement in his heart, said, ¡°What commission?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t play dumb with Grandma. You got a genuine Gu Kaizhi today. If it wasn¡¯t for Grandma coming on duty and bringing you here today, how could you possibly have gotten such a bargain?¡± Chen Yushan said. Ye Haochuan then realized. Upon his conscience, it was indeed because of her that he obtained the priceless Gu Kaizhi original. It was only right for her to come asking for a commission, and he could give her a bit. But well, it depended on how much she was asking for. ¡°Fair enough, fair enough, how much commission do you want? Just say it!¡± Ye Haochuan said, his heart fluttering again, ¡°Since she¡¯s my own woman, of course, I can¡¯t let her down¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Chen Yushan¡¯s eyebrows shot up. Ye Haochuan giggled, ¡°Nothing, quickly say how much you want?¡± ¡°Let me think¡­ maybe five million.¡± ¡°What? Five million? Why don¡¯t you just rob a bank?¡± Ye Haochuan was speechless. ¡°You are the bank. Who else would I rob but you?¡± Chen Yushan said with a smile. Such twisted logic, purely twisted logic! Ye Haochuan had fully acknowledged her true nature by now; she was clearly a rogue, almost catching up with me! ¡°Five million it is then, no big deal. How about this, I¡¯ll add another five million, how about that?¡± Ye Haochuan winked and said with a smile. Add another five million? Chen Yushan looked at Ye Haochuan as if he were a fool; his brain must have short-circuited for him to offer another five million! ¡°Deal!¡± Operating on the principle that one should take advantage of any offered benefit, Chen Yushan agreed. ¡°But, I have one condition.¡± ¡°What condition?¡± ¡°Spend a night with your husband tumbling in the sheets, how about that?¡± Ye Haochuan said like Grey Wolf revealing his true nature. ¡°You want to die!¡± Chen Yushan, flushed with shame, swung her fist at him. Ye Haochuan caught her fist in his hand and with a swift pull, drew her into his arms, laughing, ¡°To die under the fist of one¡¯s wife, wouldn¡¯t I die a romantic ghost?¡± Feeling a strange sensation from her body, Chen Yushan¡¯s face burned red, and she struggled, saying, ¡°You¡­ shameless!¡± Just as Ye Haochuan was about to tease her further, suddenly, his phone rang. He took it out only to see an unfamiliar number on the display. Could it be that Dragon Roar is calling again? Filled with suspicion, Ye Haochuan then released Chen Yushan, who took the opportunity to launch a sneaky attack, kicking him. Ye Haochuan was on guard early, chuckled, and dodged out of the way, saying, ¡°I¡¯m warning you, keep this up, and I will strip you naked for everyone to see, believe it or not?¡± ¡°You dare?¡± Although she said this, Chen Yushan still didn¡¯t dare to be too arrogant in front of him. Only then did Ye Haochuan press the answer button, but a girl¡¯s icy voice came through, ¡°Is this Ye Haochuan?¡± Ye Haochuan immediately realized and replied, ¡°Yes, this is Ye Haochuan. Are you Miss Long Piaoying?¡± ¡°Well¡­ sort of,¡± she said softly, her voice sounding eerily seductive. What do you mean ¡®sort of¡¯? Ye Haochuan found this response bizarre and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you Long Piaoying?¡± ¡°Of course I am Long Piaoying.¡± ¡°Then why say ¡®sort of¡¯?¡± Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled. ¡°Because I feel like it! Is that a problem?¡± Ye Haochuan felt his head swell on the spot. They hadn¡¯t even met, and he could tell she was a weirdo, speaking in riddles. ¡°Ye Haochuan, where are you right now?¡± Long Piaoying asked indifferently. Ye Haochuan then told her he was at Chenghuang Temple. ¡°I¡¯m at Haishan University,¡± Long Piaoying said. ¡°Great, I¡¯ll come back now,¡± Ye Haochuan replied. After agreeing on a meet-up, they added each other on WeChat for easier satellite location tracking and then hung up. ¡°Who is Long Piaoying?¡± asked Chen Yushan, clearly feeling a bit jealous as he hung up the phone. ¡°My little wife,¡± Ye Haochuan snickered. ¡°Little wife?¡± Chen Yushan frowned in mock disgust, saying, ¡°You¡¯re really fickle! Every girl you meet becomes your wife.¡± ¡°Oh? Are you envious or jealous?¡± Ye Haochuan laughed. ¡°As if, you heartbreaker. Who would be jealous of you? Don¡¯t be ridiculous,¡± Chen Yushan snorted disdainfully, then added with a sly smile, ¡°By the way, who¡¯s your big wife? S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You never mentioned her when I took your statement last time.¡± ¡°Silly, my big wife is you!¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled mischievously. Chen Yushan was mortified. This bad guy was utterly incorrigible. Stomping her foot, she exclaimed, ¡°Ye Haochuan, you jerk, I won¡¯t let you off the hook.¡± With that, she turned and ran away. Watching Chen Yushan run into the distance, Ye Haochuan felt warmth in his heart and laughed heartily, ¡°Big wife, think it over. Whenever you¡¯re ready, just contact me, and hubby promises to show you what pleasure feels like.¡± ¡°Pleasure my foot!¡± Chen Yushan yelled back, clearly furious. In a fit of anger, she took off her flat high heels and threw them at him. With his sharp reflexes, Ye Haochuan caught the high heel effortlessly and laughed, ¡°Big wife, this way of expressing affection is quite unique! Well, since it¡¯s a token of love, hubby here will gladly accept it, hehe.¡± Hearing this, Chen Yushan was fuming. How could such a shameless man exist in the world? Not wanting to waste another word on him, she turned and ran off, soon disappearing from sight. Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t bother to care. After all, he had hugged and touched this woman before. Moreover, he was still supposed to treat her; was there a chance she could escape him now? As he approached a red BMW, Old Han suddenly came up to him and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ye.¡± Ye Haochuan was taken aback, ¡°Old Han, why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± Old Han said cryptically, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, I need to discuss something personal with you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Well, Junior Brother Ye, you should really ditch that girlfriend of yours. How could a girl be so domineering and tyrannical? Let me introduce you to a girlfriend who can keep house and bear children, not to mention she¡¯s beautiful and has a gentle personality. I guarantee you¡¯ll be satisfied.¡± What, you want to introduce someone to me? Ye Haochuan couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry. When did he become such a hot commodity that people were rushing to introduce him to girlfriends? Chapter 78 - 78 78 Taking Down the Street Racing Gang ?78: Chapter 78: Taking Down the Street Racing Gang 78: Chapter 78: Taking Down the Street Racing Gang Looking at Old Han¡¯s eager face, Ye Haochuan felt that he was not joking and said, ¡°Old Han, isn¡¯t this inappropriate? We¡¯ve just met, and you don¡¯t know much about me.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Old Han seemed insistent, ¡°Judging from how you just helped me, I know you are a good person, a very good person.¡± Good person? Feeling resigned, Ye Haochuan touched his nose. Do I really look that much like a good person? Sigh, I¡¯m such a failure at being a bad guy, a terrible failure! I must correct this, put a lot of effort into it! ¡°Old Han, from what you just said, someone who can manage a household and have children, is also beautiful, gentle¡­ Which family¡¯s girl is so outstanding?¡± Ye Haochuan asked curiously. Old Han said proudly, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the truth. That girl is my granddaughter from the Han family.¡± Pfft! S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Haochuan almost spat out a mouthful of water. Damn, after all that, she¡¯s your granddaughter! There¡¯s a saying that fits well here, ¡°Grandma Wang selling melons, praising her own wares.¡± Not to burst your bubble, Old Han, but with your odd melon-like countenance, how could you possibly have a granddaughter who looks like a heavenly fairy? ¡°Well, Old Han, I¡¯ve got some things to take care of. I¡¯ll contact you later, I have to go now¡­¡± As Ye Haochuan spoke, he pulled open the door of his BMW, and just as he was about to get in, Old Han hastily grabbed him and said, ¡°Junior Brother Ye, how about this, give me your mobile number, so I can have my granddaughter get in touch with you. She also works at Haishan University¡­¡± Unfortunately, Ye Haochuan was in a hurry to get back to campus and didn¡¯t catch the back end of his sentence. He rattled off his mobile number and then started his red BMW, speeding away into the distance. Watching the red BMW drive away, Old Han was beating his chest and stamping his feet in regret. However, he soon hurried to a nearby convenience store and, while the memory was still fresh, quickly wrote down Ye Haochuan¡¯s mobile number¡­ Meanwhile, not far away, a Volkswagen sedan slowly started and followed behind Ye Haochuan¡¯s red BMW. And behind the Volkswagen, a large group of motorcycles with buzzing engines followed along. The person sitting in the Volkswagen was actually Xiao Ding¡¯s bodyguard, and those on the motorcycles were members of a street racing gang Xiao Ding had paid a hefty price to bring in. Xiao Ding¡¯s aim was simple¡ªlet others do his dirty work and have the street racing gang eliminate Ye Haochuan. The gang members were, to be blunt, a bunch of ruffians, each dressed in flashy garb, not to mention covered in tattoos, some with earrings, others with ear studs, and even nose rings. Some of the more outlandish ones had rings on their lips, making them look like animals, clearly up to no good. Ye Haochuan had actually noticed the existence of the street racing gang quite early on, but at first, he didn¡¯t sense anything amiss, thinking they were just street racing. However, once his car entered a less crowded suburban road, he suddenly realized that the gang was still doggedly following him. Moreover, the motorcyclists had surrounded his BMW at the core, each one continuously provoking him with an obviously malicious intent. Even with Ye Haochuan¡¯s good temper, such provocation ignited his anger. However, just as he was preparing to find a suitable spot to park the BMW and deal with the gang members, he suddenly noticed that those sitting behind on the motorcycles suddenly took out steel rods, shouting and swinging them at his car. Damn it, this is Bingqian¡¯s BMW, and if it gets damaged, how can I face her? Startled, Ye Haochuan took a sharp turn to avoid the steel rods of the thugs, then slammed on the brakes and quickly got out of the car. Seeing him actually get out of the car, the gang members chasing after him laughed arrogantly, as if mocking his foolishness. He could have easily driven away, but he chose to step out. Wasn¡¯t that just asking for trouble? The riders were all proficient in driving skills. Any one of them could knock into him, and how could he, with his flesh and blood, possibly withstand it? At that moment, a motorcycle charged head-on toward him. The rider floored the accelerator, and the thug in the backseat raised a steel rod high, looking incredibly arrogant. ¡°Damn, they¡¯re asking for it!¡± Ye Haochuan laughed coldly and instead of retreating, he advanced. Just as he was about to collide head-on with the motorcycle, he suddenly spun around gracefully and dodged the head-on assault. ¡°Waaaah¡­¡± The thug in the backseat let out a ghostly scream, as he brought the raised steel rod smashing down toward Ye Haochuan¡¯s forehead. Ye Haochuan gathered his Longevity True Qi and unleashed a Lion¡¯s Roar. The two guys on the bike were instantly hit by a ringing in their ears and cried out in agony. Taking advantage of the situation, Ye Haochuan reached out and snatched the steel rod away. The motorcycle instantly lost its balance, and the two thugs tumbled off like fallen leeks with swollen noses and faces, wailing incessantly. Seeing this, the other members of the Street Racing Gang were horrified and started shouting, wishing they could tear Ye Haochuan apart right there and then. ¡°Shit, a bunch of pricks!¡± Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t wait for them to charge at him. Instead, he gathered his strength again and let loose another Lion¡¯s Roar with a potent mass-killing effect. ¡°Roar¡­ Roar¡­ Roar¡­¡± As Ye Haochuan roared repeatedly, the shockwaves pulsed through the air, none of the Street Racing Gang members escaped the effects, they all screamed in agony, with blood running from their noses and mouths. ¡°Ah, my head hurts so much!¡± ¡°What kind of sound is that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so piercing, so painful! My heart can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± ¡°Damn, what kind of monster is this guy to be able to make such a sharp sound?¡± ¡­ Ten seconds later, Ye Haochuan stopped and looked at the wretches writhing and howling on the ground with a hint of pride. Hehe, luckily, he had obtained the Lion¡¯s Roar cultivation technique from Fang Ba, otherwise, dealing with these guys would have been a lot more troublesome. From a distance, the roar of an engine could be heard. Ye Haochuan looked up just in time to see a Volkswagen sedan make a U-turn and speed away. Its exhaust pipe was emitting thick smoke, clearly indicating that someone had floored the pedal in a desperate attempt to escape. ¡°Damn, lucky for you, you got away fast!¡± Returning to his BMW, Ye Haochuan started the engine and drove away. He didn¡¯t inquire into who was behind the Street Racing Gang thugs. Without even thinking, he knew they had something to do with the young master of the Xiao Family. Half an hour later, at Haishan University. After parking his BMW in the parking lot of Building 7, Ye Haochuan promptly contacted Long Piaoying via WeChat. Soon after, he received a message and, to his dismay, found out that this somewhat mysterious woman had asked him to meet her at the back mountain of the school. Although Ye Haochuan was new to Haishan University, he knew that the back mountain was not the best place to be. Many male and female students often had secret rendezvous there, and when caught in the throes of passion, things could ignite quickly, leading to activities not suitable for children. Hehe, Long Piaoying inviting me to the back mountain, could it be she¡¯s thinking of having our first intimate encounter? For a moment, Ye Haochuan¡¯s thoughts began to wander. Chapter 79 - 79 79 Immortal Aunt ?79: Chapter 79 Immortal Aunt 79: Chapter 79 Immortal Aunt Having composed himself, Ye Haochuan then hurried towards the back mountain of Haishan University. It was noon at the time, the blazing sun like fire, with most teachers and students resting in their dormitories. Arriving at the back mountain, it was silent and rarely frequented by people. Just as his mind began to wander, Ye Haochuan suddenly heard a light whistle, and saw a woman dressed in white leap out from the woods behind the mountain, bounding several meters up high, her feet barely touching the ground as if a graceful immortal gliding effortlessly on the waves. At that moment, the whole world seemed purified, suffused with a holy aura. Before Ye Haochuan could get a clear look at her face, she leaped up again, her movements elegant, pausing on a locust tree with a commanding view from above. Honestly, any ordinary person standing on the thin branches would hardly be steady, yet she stood unshakable like a mountain, which demonstrated her extraordinary cultivation. Ye Haochuan watched with great envy, damn, when could I move about like her, flying high? That would be so great. Beyond admiration, Ye Haochuan began to size her up. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she wore a flowing white dress. A light breeze swept by, making the hem of her dress flutter, emanating an ethereal charm. Unfortunately, her face was veiled with white gauze, making her age indiscernible; however, her beautiful eyes, shimmering and glancing about, could captivate anyone¡¯s heart. Damn it, veiled face, so I¡¯m powerless, right? Swallowing, Ye Haochuan felt somewhat annoyed and immediately activated his Perspective Eyes, peering through. The white gauze obscuring her face gradually vanished, revealing a flawless, stunningly beautiful visage. Holy crap, which heavenly immortal descended to earth? She¡¯s bubbling with beauty, unbelievably so! As Ye Haochuan was astonished, the immortal finally spoke with a gentle voice, as if carrying an indescribable magic power, ¡°You are Ye Haochuan?¡± ¡°I am Ye Haochuan, you must be Long Piaoying, right?¡± Ye Haochuan said cheerily. ¡°Mhm,¡± the immortal nodded in confirmation. ¡°Hello, Immortal Aunt!¡± Ye Haochuan greeted promptly. ¡°Immortal Aunt?¡± Long Piaoying was momentarily surprised before shaking her head with a light chuckle, her tone indifferent, ¡°Given my age, I am a full cycle of sixty years older than you, calling me ¡®aunt¡¯ isn¡¯t quite fitting.¡± ¡°What? A full cycle of sixty years older? A cycle is sixty years! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I¡¯m just over twenty, so if you are sixty years older, doesn¡¯t that make you over eighty now?¡± Ye Haochuan was shocked. ¡°Exactly,¡± Long Piaoying nodded slightly. Ye Haochuan almost fainted, oh my god, how could this be? An eighty-year-old woman, and she could still look after herself this well? She barely looked any different from a beautiful young girl! But then he felt somewhat relieved; these people from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect were all extraordinary. It¡¯s not right to measure them by normal human standards. Her youthful appearance was probably closely related to her cultivation. Of course, it was also possible she had consumed some youth-preserving elixirs, just like the Body-Strengthening Pills he had concocted himself. Suddenly, Ye Haochuan shivered, damn, he had just been daydreaming about her, even wishing to devour her. It was lucky that he now knew her real age; otherwise, had he not been careful, wouldn¡¯t he have fallen into a grotesque romance? Ugh, that¡¯s disgusting! However, as much as he thought this, when he saw the ethereal visage of the immortal again, that feeling of disgust in his heart utterly disappeared, and an idea so bold it even startled him began to take root. What¡¯s going on? Why do I feel a sudden urge to possess her when I see her? Am I innately a beast, or has she turned me into one? As Ye Haochuan¡¯s mind was in turmoil, Long Piaoying seemed to have no patience for his silence and suddenly said, ¡°Ye Haochuan, I came to Haishan on my brother¡¯s orders, mainly for you.¡± Ye Haochuan came back to his senses and nodded. Long Xiaotian had already mentioned this to him. ¡°The things my brother asked me to bring to you are all inside here, have a look for yourself.¡± With these words, she beckoned, and an ancient-looking box appeared in her hand. Ye Haochuan was stunned, not having seen clearly how she did it, the box simply materialized out of thin air, how magical. ¡°Catch!¡± As soon as Long Piaoying¡¯s words fell, the box seemed to be held up by an invisible force, flying steadily and unhurriedly towards him. Ye Haochuan was greatly astonished, damn, he thought, I can¡¯t even catch up to this kind of ability if I try! Deep inside, he silently vowed that one day he too would cultivate martial arts path cultivation like an Immortal, and achieve great things. As his thoughts churned, the box had already flown to him, and Ye Haochuan reached out and grabbed it in his hand. ¡°Eh, Bone Fracture Hand?¡± Long Piaoying suddenly recognized the martial skills routine he was using and frowned deeply. Ye Haochuan nodded and said, puzzled, ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Immortal Aunt, is there a problem?¡± Immortal Aunt? Long Piaoying couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry at his quick change of address. However, given her age, not to mention aunt, even being his grandmother would be more than enough. Therefore, she didn¡¯t take it to heart and let him call her that. ¡°Where did you learn the heretical sect¡¯s martial skills, Hellfire?¡± Long Piaoying asked in a serious tone. ¡°I learned it from a guy named Fang Ba!¡± Ye Haochuan then recounted how he encountered Fang Ba, how he killed him, and how he learned the Bone Fracture Hand and Lion¡¯s Roar. After listening to his story, Long Piaoying¡¯s demeanor shifted from its prior nonchalance to a stern warning, ¡°Ye Haochuan, heretical sect¡¯s martial skills can cause considerable harm. From now on, you must not practice them anymore, understand?¡± Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t quite agree and said, ¡°Immortal Aunt, you just mentioned that the Bone Fracture Hand is a heretical sect¡¯s martial skill, but I disagree.¡± ¡°What?¡± Long Piaoying frowned. Ye Haochuan said loudly, ¡°Immortal Aunt, I ask you, what is right? What is wrong? In my view, if a person from a righteous sect harbors evil intent, then they are heretical. If a person from a heretical sect does good, then they are righteous. If you insist on a clear distinction, you might miss the bigger picture.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Long Piaoying was about to scold him loudly, but after giving it some thought, she shook her head, ¡°Heretical sect¡¯s martial arts are extremely vicious and overbearing. If you forcefully cultivate them, you will eventually harm yourself. I have said my piece, whether you listen or not is up to you.¡± Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, ¡°You needn¡¯t worry about me, Immortal Aunt, I know my own limits.¡± Long Piaoying shook her head, not wanting to argue any further, and said, ¡°You should take a look at what¡¯s inside the box first.¡± Only then did Ye Haochuan remember, what exactly is in this box? I must have a good look. Chapter 80 - 80 80 Superphone Add one more ?80: Chapter 80 Superphone (Add one more chapter) 80: Chapter 80 Superphone (Add one more chapter) Upon opening the box, Ye Haochuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, not only was there a black card resembling an identity card issued by the household registration department, but there was also a very fashionable-looking smartphone. He first took out the smartphone and looked it over, finding that its functions were no different from those of ordinary smartphones. However, in terms of verification, in addition to the graphic code verification, there was also fingerprint verification and facial recognition. What was even more exaggerated was that there was one last verification step that required the infusion of True Qi to unlock the phone¡¯s system. Clearly, this was to prevent outsiders from the Ancient Martial Arts Sects from getting their hands on this type of phone and causing mischief through it. What Ye Haochuan didn¡¯t know was that this type of phone also had a self-locking feature¡ªif any verification step failed, the phone would enter a bricked state, impenetrable even to professional phone repair technicians. As for the black card, it not only had his photograph but also recorded his identity information, including Ye Haochuan¡¯s ethnicity, place of origin, age, and so on. However, it was worth noting that under ¡®affiliation¡¯ on the black card were the four large characters of ¡°Huaxia Dragon Group.¡± After safely stowing the black card, Ye Haochuan looked up towards his mentor, Immortal Aunt, who was still perched gracefully on the branch. ¡°Finished looking?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Anything you want to ask?¡± ¡°This black card, similar to an identity card, I understand, but the phone, I¡¯m a bit confused. I hope Immortal Aunt can explain it to me,¡± said Ye Haochuan. ¡°This black card is not just a simple identity card, it¡¯s very useful for us Ancient Martial Artists when we move within the secular world.¡± Ye Haochuan nodded silently, his face showing amazement, thinking to himself that if someone could replicate it, they would be able to move unhindered around the world. Seeing through his thoughts, Long Piaoying shook her head and said, ¡°Our Ancient Martial Arts Sects¡¯ identity cards are crafted by skilled Artifact Refiners within our Sects, made from special materials and inscribed with a type of prohibition unknown to the outside world. They are immune to water and fire, resistant to swords, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary people¡­¡± Ye Haochuan let out a sigh of relief. So that was the case. ¡°Additionally, I should remind you that within our Ancient Martial Arts Sects, each Martial Artist¡¯s card color is linked to their Cultivation. For example, a black card represents the Postnatal Early Stage Martial Artist, gray for Mid-Stage, yellow for Late Stage, and green for Peak¡­¡± Ye Haochuan suddenly understood, and at the same time was quite shocked. The seemingly simple color scheme contained a rigid hierarchy¡ªclearly, the Ancient Martial Arts Sects were packed with masters, not to be underestimated! ¡°Once you advance a level in your Martial Arts Path Cultivation, you¡¯ll need to use your smartphone to apply for a new identity card through the Sects¡¯ WeChat public account¡ªthe Identity Card Committee. The card will be made very quickly, and the committee will then transfer it to you through the smartphone¡­¡± ¡°Transfer it to me through the smartphone? How is that possible?¡± Ye Haochuan said, surprised. It wasn¡¯t that he doubted her, he simply found it incredible. If such an advanced mode of transfer existed in the world, what would be the need for courier companies? ¡°Actually, this phone, due to its high level of information security, is specially designed for use by members of our Ancient Martial Arts Sects. Aside from possessing the regular communication functions of the secular world, it also has some privileges that outsiders don¡¯t have access to. Particularly, spatial transmission¡­¡± ¡°Spatial transmission?¡± Ye Haochuan¡¯s eyes lit up; it sounded awesome. ¡°Correct, spatial transmission,¡± Long Piaoying nodded her head, ¡°The reason for this functionality is because these phones have a Teleportation Array installed within them, capable of instantaneously transporting non-living things. However, activating this array consumes energy, so the Sect typically charges a fee in Pills according to the size of the object¡­ Oh, and by the way, unlike the secular world, in our world where martial arts reign supreme, that is, the Martial Arts Path Realm, Pills are the only thing that measure the value of goods and are equivalent to currency in the secular world.¡± Hearing this, Ye Haochuan found it quite intriguing. In the secular world, technology leads the development of the world, while in the esteemed Martial Arts Path Realm, martial arts dictate everything. It seemed these two worlds were clearly delineated, with no overlap. But still, the two vastly different worlds were moving towards a significant integration. The Martial Arts Path Realm had adopted technologies such as smartphones, and the presence of many disciples and students from the Martial Arts Path Realm in the secular world was the most apparent example. What surprised Ye Haochuan was that the Martial Arts Path Realm actually used Pills to measure and settle the value of goods! But upon reflection, it seemed only natural. For the people of the Martial Arts Path Realm, material pleasures were of little importance. What mattered more was the enhancement of strength and Cultivation, making Pills a critically important strategic resource, akin to oil and natural gas in the secular world. ¡°Anything else you want to ask?¡± Long Piaoying said again. ¡°This¡­ For now, I can¡¯t think of anything else. I¡¯ll ask when I do, how about that, Immortal Aunt?¡± Ye Haochuan said with a smile. ¡°Okay,¡± Long Piaoying¡¯s tone remained nonchalant. Watching Immortal Aunt¡¯s lofty manner, as if looking down upon all beings, Ye Haochuan suddenly got an idea and said with a smirk, ¡°Immortal Aunt, aren¡¯t you afraid of falling from such a high place? Come down, come down, let¡¯s have a good chat, shall we?¡± ¡°Better not, what good is there in talking with a mere mundane mortal like you?¡± That remark irked Ye Haochuan greatly¡ªme, a mundane mortal? Then are you a lofty Fairy? Pfft, calling you ¡®Immortal Aunt¡¯ was in fact a compliment. Provoke me, and I might just start calling you ¡®sister-in-law¡¯; would you believe it? ¡°How can there be nothing to talk about? We could chat about life, family matters, sex, different positions, and whatnot!¡± Ye Haochuan said with a chuckle. Long Piaoying frowned, ¡°You¡¯re so unrestrained, what¡¯s with this talk about sex and positions? I really don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in your young mind every day.¡± Ye Haochuan felt embarrassed, originally thinking Immortal Aunt was out of touch with worldly matters, but apparently, she knew it all! ¡°Heh, Immortal Aunt misunderstood, I was just testing you a moment ago to see if indeed you were detached from worldly affairs,¡± Ye Haochuan quickly explained. Shaking her head slightly, Long Piaoying softly said, ¡°Alright, Ye Haochuan, I¡¯ve completed my mission here, and I must leave now. The vicinity of Haishan University is teeming with masters, I must leave quickly, or it¡¯ll be difficult to escape unnoticed if discovered.¡± S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Teeming with masters around Haishan University? As Ye Haochuan pondered the implications of her words, a white shadow flashed on the branch, and the silhouette of Immortal Aunt was no longer there. Not even a slight quiver remained where she had been. Damn, Immortal Aunt¡¯s Martial Arts Path Cultivation is so high! Ye Haochuan looked on enviously, wondering when he himself would reach the state of coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace. As he was thinking, his phone began to ring.
