"With Chairman Shen taking action, I am naturally relieved. After all, this is no trouble for you, right?"
Yu Youwei smiled playfully at Shen Lang and said, "Since you debuted, how many powerful figures have fallen by your hand? Just a few days ago, you rampaged through Yang Nation, slaughtering your way through its martial arts world. Even Yang Nation's strongest, Liu Sheng Danma Shou, died by your hand. Is there anything in this world that can stump our Chairman Shen? Surely not."
"Yu Youwei, I find you've changed. You used to be such a well-behaved girl by Gu Qinghan's side. How have you become so cunning now?"
Shen Lang looked at Yu Youwei and smiled, "Pushing the work onto me so obviously while you watch from the sidelines, is that really okay?"
"The capable should bear more responsibility. With Chairman Shen personally handling it, how could I possibly worry? If I were to intervene as well, wouldn't that suggest I don't trust Chairman Shen?"
Yu Youwei smiled beautifully and said, "Would a man want a woman to say 'no' and then insist on doing it herself?"
"Fine, you're always right."
Shen Lang added, "Illogically right."
"Heh, thank you for the compliment, Chairman Shen. I am truly honored."
Yu Youwei smiled and said, "Half of the restaurant matter is settled. Shall we move on to my situation now?"
"My Chairman Shen, when will you detoxify me, or am I not poisoned at all, and you're just fooling me?"
As soon as he said this, Shen Lang rolled his eyes at Yu Youwei. "Weiwei, you should have a little more trust in your Chairman. As beautiful as you are, I wouldn't lie just to get closer to you. You are genuinely poisoned."
"But don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to you. From now on, do as I say and lie down obediently on the bed."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Youwei looked at him. In his eyes, she saw an unyielding strength.
In the end, Yu Youwei found a clean hospital bed and lay down, her eyes darting towards Shen Lang. She asked, "Chairman Shen, I'm lying down now. You're not going to ask me to take off my clothes too, are you?"
"Such a clever girl. You've learned to answer before the question is even asked. Good, very good."
Shen Lang smiled. "Since you already know, there's no need for me to say more. Do it yourself."
"What? You really want me to take off my clothes?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Youwei's eyes widened. "You… you're serious?"
"Don't worry. In a doctor's eyes, there are only patients, no genders. I will not have any lewd or impure thoughts about you."
Shen Lang looked at Yu Youwei and smiled. "My medical ethics are as high as my medical skills. You shouldn't doubt me anymore."
"I don't. Even though you're speaking so nobly, how can I believe what you're saying is true?"
Shen Lang's explanation did not dispel Yu Youwei's doubts. Instead, her vigilance grew. She stared at Shen Lang intently and said.
"Weiwei, you're being a little too mischievous."
Seeing Yu Youwei's reaction, Shen Lang smiled. "Since you don't believe me, then forget it. Come back to me when the poison flares up, but I don't know if it will be in time then."
"This…"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Youwei's expression changed.
She knew Shen Lang's character; he was a very upright person with superb medical skills. He had treated many people in the Martial Guard Department, especially Old Luo from their office, who had almost died from a myocardial infarction the first time they met.
However, for a girl who had only recently graduated and had never even dated a boyfriend, the idea of undressing in front of a stranger was too much for Yu Youwei to overcome.
"Women, always so wordy. I originally intended to expel the potent poison by acupoint needling. Since you're unwilling, we'll switch to another method, though this one is rather painful."
While Yu Youwei hesitated, Shen Lang sighed and said to her, "Since you're unwilling to take off your clothes, then be prepared. I'll find another way to detoxify you."
"There's another method?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Youwei looked surprised. "If you have another method, why did you ask me to take off my clothes? Chairman Shen, are you really lusting after my beauty?"
"Not to that extent, never to that extent. If I were lusting after beauty, there are many women around me I could desire."
Shen Lang smiled. "My next method is a bit crude and direct. Are you psychologically prepared?"
"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Youwei froze for a moment. Before she could get an explanation from Shen Lang, she received a heavy palm strike to her back.
Shen Lang's strike was so powerful that Yu Youwei felt her internal organs twist instantly. The pain was excruciating, and a surge of blood rose in her throat, culminating in her spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
"Shen Lang, what are you doing?"
Yu Youwei had not expected Shen Lang to actually strike her, and so heavily at that. She was furious and shouted at Shen Lang.
However, before she could finish speaking, and before Shen Lang could reply, Yu Youwei saw the pool of blood she had vomited.
In an instant, Yu Youwei's eyes widened.
Because the pool of blood she had spat out was not red, but a bile-green color, emitting a foul odor that made anyone who smelled it feel nauseous.
"What… what is this?"
Yu Youwei looked at Shen Lang, her tone softening as she asked.
"This is the potent poison in your body. You are deeply poisoned; your internal organs are all occupied by toxins. However, my palm strike just now condensed the toxins in your internal organs instantly, and you spat them out. You are fine now."
Shen Lang explained, "This detoxification method is extremely crude. The moment my palm struck you, your internal organs would twist. You must have felt the pain."
"Heh, this was not my intention, but there was no other way. Since you didn't believe me, I had to resort to this method."
"You…"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Youwei felt a surge of anger. Her internal organs were still churning uncontrollably, as if she wanted to expel them all. She now regretted not listening to Shen Lang earlier, having brought this suffering upon herself.
"Alright, I've detoxified you, but your pain will likely last for another hour. I can't help you with that."
As he said this, Yu Youwei's eyes widened in anger, but she was too wracked with pain to utter a word.
"Alright, rest for a while. We're leaving."
Shen Lang smiled at Yu Youwei and said his final words. Then, he turned to Chu Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, let's go. Take me to the First Floor, and I'll help you resolve Pan Da Pang's troubles."
Chu Ling'er nodded upon hearing this and quickly left Nanling People's Hospital with Shen Lang.
