Volume One, Chapter Seventeen: Ye Bing’s Doubt—Someone Has Said Similar Words to Me Before!
“Since you want to use it, then use it. Just remember one thing: it’s not easy for me to get out this time, and I won’t be going back to prison again.”
“For you, I won’t break the law either.”
Su Ming had no way to explain more; after all, many things had happened over the past three years.
So he chose the reason that would most reassure his sister.
“Alright, I believe that in the future, you’ll earn more money and let me live in a big house.”
“Brother loves me the most.”
Seeing Su Ming’s earnest expression, Su Yingying finally felt assured and immediately cheered as she held the new phone.
Watching his sister happily fiddling with the new phone, Su Ming silently vowed that he would not only give her a big house but make it the most luxurious and precious one!
Even if it meant building a castle, he would do it for her.
He wanted her to be a carefree little princess; only then could their parents rest peacefully in the afterlife.
...
At the Baozhilin Medical Clinic.
“Ouch... it hurts so much, Mr. Dongfang, please be gentler. I can’t take it anymore.”
Long Kui grimaced, sitting on the chair.
Dongfang Shaobai was busy setting his bones; after an hour of work, the fracture was finally aligned.
“Who told you to be so reckless, rushing out before hearing the whole story? Honestly, Mr. Su was very merciful—he only dislocated your arm; otherwise, your hand might have been ruined.”
Dongfang Shaobai washed his hands and wiped them with a towel, speaking with astonishment.
“Don’t mention it, that kid was too fierce. He almost killed me!”
“Still, I, Long Kui, am a renowned figure in the East Triangle region. Even mercenaries and assassins fear me.”
“I never expected to be beaten up like this right after returning to the country. Who exactly is that kid? He’s too strong!”
Rubbing his shoulder, Long Kui’s words betrayed his pain as he asked with a wide grin.
“Don’t concern yourself with Mr. Su’s background. You just need to know: never provoke him.”
“This time, you barely escaped with your life.”
Dongfang Shaobai sighed deeply.
Thanks to Su Ming’s acupuncture, his condition had nearly healed.
He only needed some rest to fully recover. Now, that was a true miracle doctor.
The medicine worked wonders, and the needling was precise and skillful.
Especially after learning that Su Ming mastered the entire set of the Heavenly Gang’s 108 needles, Dongfang’s respect for him grew boundless.
Apprenticeship had become an unattainable dream.
“Grandpa, is that guy really that amazing?”
Dongfang Xiaoxiao was still stunned by the impact Su Ming had made, unable to believe it for a long time.
He seemed ordinary at first glance, but his medical skills commanded her grandfather’s utmost admiration.
...
He had even rendered Uncle Long, a top expert, utterly defenseless.
Who on earth was this mysterious figure?
Truly a prodigy!
“Not just amazing!”
“In our Jiuzhou country, there’s a group of secret hermits, dating back to your great-grandfather’s generation.”
“A group of extraordinary people, almost godlike.”
“Long Kui should know why Jiuzhou has become an internationally recognized mercenary no-go zone. While many nations are embroiled in war, Jiuzhou remains peaceful and prosperous.”
“That’s because a century ago, this group erected monuments on the four main borders: Jiuzhou Huaxia—where gods and ghosts dare not tread!”
Hearing this, even Dongfang Shaobai’s aged face flushed with excitement.
Long Kui nodded enthusiastically.
“Could it be that kid is a descendant of those mysterious hermits?”
“Reckless, powerful, and with a mysterious background. From now on, I’ll be sure to steer clear when I see him!”
After suffering a great loss, Long Kui’s former arrogance and confidence were shattered like never before.
He had become more composed and low-key.
Hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoxiao’s curiosity about Su Ming intensified.
A descendant of mysterious hermits!
Was his background really that formidable?
“Is Mr. Dongfang here?”
At that moment, a voice called from outside.
Soon after, a young man dressed in luxury strode in, handsome and holding a Porsche car key.
Beside him, Ye Bing walked in with a serious expression, wearing high heels.
“That Chen guy again, such a nuisance.”
Dongfang Xiaoxiao showed obvious annoyance upon seeing the visitor and turned to busily organize the medicine cabinet.
At this time, Dongfang Shaobai approached.
“So it’s Chen Liang. Last time, your father made an appointment with me, and today I finally have some time.”
“Why didn’t your father come?”
Chen Liang, the visitor, was the son of Chen Yingjie, the head of Longzhou’s leading enterprise.
A thorough playboy.
Still, out of respect for his father, Dongfang Shaobai greeted him.
“Mr. Dongfang, my father has been busy lately but has been eager to pay you a visit. Sorry for the trouble.”
“I’m here this time to ask you to diagnose a friend of mine.”
“This is Ye Bing, daughter of Ye Xiangrong from the Ye family of Longzhou.”
Chen Liang introduced her briefly.
Ye Bing immediately shed her usual boldness and humbly bowed to Dongfang Shaobai.
She knew very well that outside the Longzhou business circle, none was more well-connected or lucrative than the venerable Dongfang Shaobai.
The name Baozhilin was revered nationwide, with an impeccable reputation.
“Sir, thank you for your trouble.”
Ye Bing’s visit was mainly to appease Chen Liang.
She had originally planned to just go through the motions, but upon learning that she had secured an appointment with the famous doctor Dongfang, her interest was piqued.
“Ah, so you’re from the Ye family. Please, sit down.”
“I have plenty of time today; let me take a look.”
Dongfang Shaobai nodded and gestured invitingly.
Chen Liang stepped aside, surveying the surroundings as Ye Bing sat down and offered her wrist for Dongfang Shaobai to take her pulse.
After a moment…
Dongfang Shaobai opened his eyes.
“Have you been irritable lately, with liver qi stagnation, a bitter taste in your mouth, and sudden bursts of rapid heartbeat?”
Dongfang Shaobai asked.
Suddenly,
Ye Bing felt the words were oddly familiar, as if she had heard them before somewhere.
She quickly nodded, “Yes, Mr. Dongfang. Also, my menstrual cycle is irregular, I often feel fatigued, and my skin is poor. No matter how I take care of it, nothing helps.”
“Hm, nothing serious, but you do need to recuperate. Your endocrine system is severely imbalanced, and your eyes are bloodshot…”
“Young people, avoid staying up late. I’ll prescribe some medicine to help you regulate. You should see results within a month. Though it’s a minor issue, it shouldn’t be ignored, as serious illnesses don’t develop overnight.”
“After three months of proper care, your body should return to normal.”
Saying this, Dongfang Shaobai picked up pen and paper and began writing the prescription.
Ye Bing nodded seriously, her heart settling.
She had been worried about her health issues recently, but several tests showed nothing.
Here, everything was diagnosed instantly. Dongfang Shaobai truly lived up to his reputation.
Yet she furrowed her brow deeply, lost in thought, her mind racing.
She increasingly felt that Dongfang’s words were too familiar.
It was as if someone had told her the exact same thing before…
