"Chen Feng, are you truly ignorant of the thoughts of wealthy women, or are you feigning ignorance? A woman like Lin Xuerong, would she lack men? Let alone handsome studs, even young pretty boys would be at her beck and call with just a word. But the problem is, can such vulgar men soothe the wounds of her lifetime of political marriage?"
Wang Ziwei retorted.
Chen Feng was instantly rendered speechless.
It seemed that women like Lin Xuerong and Cui Yali were not focused on a man's physical attributes, but rather on the feeling they experienced with him.
To put it plainly, they were conquered by a man's powerful aura.
"Teacher Wang, you make a valid point. However, if I were to do so, how would I face you?"
Chen Feng probed tentatively.
"You'd face it very well, just like how I and women like Qin Yan do. As long as these women don't scheme against you, I might feel a little jealous, but I won't stop you. Moreover, this time, you sleeping with Lin Xuerong is to repay a favor. If you don't repay the favor, how can you expect my father to ask for connections to help in the future?"
Wang Ziwei got straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng fell silent.
At this juncture, there was nothing more to say.
Thus, under Wang Ziwei's watchful eyes, Chen Feng and Lin Xuerong entered the hotel room together.
To mask her inner disappointment, Wang Ziwei specifically went to a nearby bar, intending to get thoroughly drunk.
Little did she know, before Wang Ziwei could even call the bar staff for a drink, Chen Feng suddenly called, urging Wang Ziwei to hurry over.
Wang Ziwei was taken aback.
"Chen Feng, it can't be this fast, can it?"
Wang Ziwei asked in surprise.
"Teacher Wang, Lin Xuerong has fainted."
Chen Feng replied directly.
"What? Fainted? You weren't that rough, were you?"
Wang Ziwei asked instinctively.
"Teacher Wang, it has nothing to do with anything between a man and a woman. To be honest, Lin Xuerong and I hadn't even started sleeping together when she suddenly fainted."
When Chen Feng said this, Wang Ziwei immediately headed to the hotel room.
As expected, Lin Xuerong, who had been fine just moments ago, was now in a deep coma.
"Chen Feng, what's going on?"
Wang Ziwei grew anxious.
"She was poisoned."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"What? Poisoned? How is that possible? Lin Xuerong comes from a powerful and wealthy family; who would dare poison her? Besides, how do you know she was poisoned?"
Wang Ziwei probed.
"Teacher Wang, have you forgotten? Besides being a staff member in official circles, I also practice martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine. Through my years of part-time study in TCM, I can now diagnose through observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation. Based on these methods, Lin Xuerong has indeed been poisoned."
Chen Feng replied earnestly.
"Then what do we do? Is Lin Xuerong in danger?"
Wang Ziwei asked, full of worry.
Lin Xuerong was her best friend, and if she were to die, Wang Ziwei wouldn't know how to face Lin Xuerong's family.
"It depends. It's very dangerous; I have to take a gamble."
Chen Feng said, concentrating his mind.
"Take a gamble? Lives are at stake; how can you just gamble? How about this, let's call 120 immediately."
Wang Ziwei said urgently.
"For other illnesses, 120 can help. However, this is poisoning. If sent to the hospital, the poison would have already reached her heart, and even a divine doctor couldn't save her. Neither Western medicine nor traditional Chinese medicine can save her."
Chen Feng said earnestly.
"Is that true?"
Wang Ziwei asked with a hint of tears in her voice.
"Absolutely true. Therefore, I can only take a gamble. I'll use a recently learned TCM technique to quickly expel the poison from Lin Xuerong's body."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
Wang Ziwei wanted to ask more questions, but then decided against it.
Lin Xuerong's condition was critical; at this moment, time was life, and there was no need to waste Chen Feng's time.
Thus, Wang Ziwei signaled for Chen Feng to proceed with the detoxification.
Chen Feng then began a treatment method that astonished Wang Ziwei.
Chen Feng inserted a soft tube into Lin Xuerong's stomach and then desperately used his mouth to suction out all the residual fluids and contents.
After finishing this, without time to rinse his mouth, Chen Feng used a sewing needle from the hotel's sewing kit to prick Lin Xuerong for bloodletting.
Soon, Lin Xuerong's dark blood turned bright red.
"Hmm, all the toxic fluid has been expelled from Lin Xuerong's body. She'll wake up soon..."
Mid-sentence, Chen Feng's face suddenly turned dark, and he directly fainted.
The two women immediately rushed Chen Feng to the hospital.
Fortunately, Chen Feng had sealed his major acupoints with needles beforehand, so he merely fainted and suffered no other bodily harm.
Anyone else would have been poisoned to death.
From this perspective, Chen Feng's TCM skills were beginning to show promise.
To put it this way, if Chen Feng weren't involved in politics and instead opened a small clinic, his business would be booming.
Frankly speaking, once a person possesses high intelligence and talent, no knowledge in any field can stump them.
"Chen Feng, you're finally awake. You scared us to death."
After Chen Feng woke up, Wang Ziwei said anxiously.
"It's alright. I know TCM and can protect myself. As for Xuerong, is she alright?"
Chen Feng asked calmly.
"Chen Feng, I'm fine, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I would surely have died."
Lin Xuerong said gratefully.
"Xuerong, your father helped me immensely, so this small act is only fitting. Even if a stranger were poisoned, as someone who knows TCM, I would have saved them without hesitation. However, it's strange. Given your status, no one should dare to harm you, so why would someone suddenly target you?"
Chen Feng asked smoothly.
"Chen Feng, I was just telling Ziwei that I don't seem to have offended anyone. Who could be so cruel as to want to kill me?"
Lin Xuerong replied with a furrowed brow.
"Hmm, it seems this person is deeply hidden. We must find a way to bring this person to light, otherwise, who knows when they might suddenly emerge and strike you."
Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
"It's probably quite difficult. Not only did I discuss this with Ziwei, but I also told my father about it, and even he can't figure out who is lurking in the shadows trying to kill me."
Lin Xuerong replied with a worried look.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Chen Feng replied without hesitation.
"Chen Feng, you're too impulsive."
Wang Ziwei, standing nearby, quickly cautioned Chen Feng in a low voice.
"It is a bit impulsive, but it's a good opportunity to repay the Lin family's great favor, isn't it?"
Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"Repaying the Lin family's favor is indeed good. But the problem is, have you considered that if even the head of the Lin family can't find out who the mastermind is, can you?"
Wang Ziwei retorted.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. I believe I can find out."
Chen Feng said confidently.
"There are no clues, no hints whatsoever regarding Lin Xuerong's inexplicable poisoning. How can we investigate? It's harder than finding a needle in a haystack!"
Wang Ziwei said with a troubled expression.
"It's easy to investigate. We just need to trace who bought the beverage Lin Xuerong drank three days ago."
Chen Feng continued confidently.
