Bang!
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was refining pills, in a luxurious ward of a high-end hospital in the capital, Li Jieqiong slammed a teacup in her hand onto a doctor's head.
The tall male doctor's head immediately started bleeding.
"You are all scoundrel doctors, eating without working! I've had the injection, taken the medicine, but my whole body still hurts and there's no relief!"
Li Jieqiong yelled hysterically at the doctor.
The male doctor wiped the blood from his head and said with a wronged expression, "I'm sorry, Madam, we used high-end imported medicines and did our best!"
Li Jieqiong no longer cared about her usual demeanor and shrieked like a shrew, "What do you mean by 'did our best'? What kind of nonsense is that? Are you saying I can only wait to die?"
"Do you believe I can have you kicked out of the hospital with just one phone call?"
The male physician repeatedly apologized to Li Jieqiong, "I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry, I misspoke and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, Madam!"
"Get out!" Li Jieqiong roared.
Upon hearing this, the male physician felt as if he had been granted a great pardon and immediately ran out.
Li Jieqiong pointed at the female nurses surrounding her and shouted, "You all get out too! I don't want to see any of you!"
The female nurses, who were as quiet as cicadas in winter, immediately rushed out the door.
"What kind of attitude is that? Just because they have a bit of money, they treat us like dirt!" The nurses complained outside.
"Shhh!"
One of the nurses immediately made a shushing gesture and said, "Keep your voices down, don't let her hear you, or we won't even know how we died!"
"The influence behind this woman is immense; it's not something we ordinary folk can provoke!"
Inside the ward.
Li Jieqiong moaned incessantly, "I'm in so much pain!"
"I really can't go on living!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, I hate you to death!"
"Auntie, let me wipe the sweat from your body!" Li Lili, rubbing a warm towel, walked over and said.
Although Li Jieqiong was suffering from unbearable pain, feeling like life was worse than death, her gaze immediately softened when she saw Li Lili.
She shook her head and said weakly, "Lili, there's no need to wipe it. Auntie is afraid she won't be able to hold on any longer and won't survive until tomorrow."
"But—"
"I'm truly unwilling!"
"How can Cheng Xiaofan, that insignificant smelly peasant from the countryside, have the right to make me transfer all my assets to his name?"
"This is impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"If I can't live, then Cheng Xiaofan shouldn't expect to live in this world either!"
Ring ring...
As Li Jieqiong was screaming hysterically, her mobile phone placed beside her rang.
She picked up the phone and, seeing the caller ID, immediately stopped shouting and instructed Li Lili, "Lili, you go out and take a walk. An uncle will be coming to see me soon!"
"Lili, you haven't eaten since this morning. Go and get something to eat. Don't come back unless you get my call, okay?"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go out then!" Li Lili immediately walked out.
As soon as Li Lili left, Li Jieqiong urgently pressed the answer button and said, "You've arrived?"
A man's deep voice immediately came from the phone, "Yes, I'm here. I've arrived at the hospital entrance. How are you doing now?"
Li Jieqiong's tears immediately welled up, and she cried, "I'm in so much pain, I feel like I'm dying!"
"If it weren't for Lili, I would have ended it all!"
The man on the phone said, "Bear with it for a bit. I've brought a master to examine you. By the way, is there anyone else in your ward?"
Li Jieqiong said, "No one else. Lili was just here, but I sent her out."
The man said, "Alright, I'll be there shortly!"
Less than three minutes later.
A group of four people arrived at the door.
One of them was a tall, portly man wearing a gray trench coat and large sunglasses, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Behind him were two bodyguards.
Those two men were dressed in black suits and were full of imposing energy.
As the man in sunglasses pushed the door open, the two bodyguards immediately stood guard outside.
Following closely beside the man in sunglasses was an elder in his seventies, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a head of white hair and a youthful complexion, exuding an air of immortal grace.
"Ah, you're here!" When Li Jieqiong saw the man in sunglasses, she suppressed her body's pain and struggled to sit up from the bed.
The man in sunglasses quickly held her down and said, "Jieqiong, don't move. Lie down properly!"
Li Jieqiong immediately burst into tears, "I can't lie down! My whole body is in so much pain, I truly feel like I can't live on."
The man in sunglasses comforted her, "Jieqiong, don't worry. The Daoist priest I've invited is an expert in detoxification. He will surely be able to remove the embedded needles and expel all the toxins from your body."
Unexpectedly!
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Daoist priest bowed deeply to the man in sunglasses with a dejected expression and said, "I'm sorry, sir, this humble Taoist is truly powerless and can only take my leave!"
"Uh—"
The man in sunglasses was suddenly taken aback and said, "Daoist priest, you haven't even examined Jieqiong yet, how can you conclude you are powerless?"
The Daoist priest sighed and said, "Judging from this lady's complexion, the toxins have already reached the marrow of her bones, and within these two days, it is likely that her face will begin to show widespread ulceration. At present, this humble Taoist truly has no way to treat the lady."
Upon hearing this, the man in sunglasses' face turned ashen.
He said, "Daoist priest, are you absolutely certain there is no way?"
The Daoist priest shook his head and said, "Sir, you have shown me great kindness. If I had even a little bit of a solution, I would never refuse!"
The man in sunglasses fell silent.
After a short pause, he waved his hand and said, "Daoist priest, you may withdraw."
The Daoist priest bowed again and said, "Sir, I am truly sorry, I take my leave!"
"Heavens, what should I do!" Li Jieqiong was completely devastated.
The man in sunglasses gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of person is this Cheng Xiaofan? How can even a poison cultivator be unable to deal with him?"
Li Jieqiong choked back sobs and said, "I underestimated him. This kid is indeed formidable. With just a wave of his hand, my two poison cultivators at home were decapitated and fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, even their corpses disappeared."
"What's even more terrifying are Cheng Xiaofan's eyes. He can capture all sorts of information about others from their auras, including their family relationships and each person's income."
"What? He has that ability too?"
The man in sunglasses trembled all over with shock upon hearing this.
Is this Cheng Xiaofan still human?
He's practically a superman!
He pondered for a moment and said, "If Cheng Xiaofan truly possesses such abilities, I cannot reveal myself to him in person."
"Otherwise, all my secrets, and my relationship with you, would be exposed before him!"
"Lili's father, you tell me, what should we do now in the face of this Cheng Xiaofan?" Li Jieqiong asked anxiously.
