Zhong Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead twice, struggled to stand up, and asked Lin Chen with a stammer, "Lin, Lin Chen, what do you want to do?"
Only now did he truly understand Lin Chen's terror.
The technique of passing through walls, that was a mythical spell!
There was still no news from 'Mad Lion', and it was obvious he had been killed.
He had offended an immortal. This was truly courting death.
"Zhong Hao, you tell me, what do I want to do?"
Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Zhong Hao guessed his intentions and became even more terrified. He feigned a tremor and said, "I, I don't know..."
"Zhong Hao, I gave you a chance at the Shangguan family, but you didn't cherish it. You can't blame me then."
Meeting Lin Chen's cold gaze, Zhong Hao was so scared he took a few steps back. "Lin Chen, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance. I'll never dare to offend you again."
"As long as you don't kill me, I can give you money, lots and lots of money."
"If you want Shangguan Ling'er, I can give her to you..."
Looking at Zhong Hao, who was like a clown, Lin Chen's gaze gradually turned cold. It was ridiculous. If he wanted money, with his medical skills, he could get people to respectfully hand it over with just a wave of his hand.
As for Shangguan Ling'er, Zhong Hao had pursued her for so long without success, and now he was offering to give her to him. He had seen shameless people before, but never one this shameless.
Seeing that Lin Chen remained silent, Zhong Hao became even more terrified. With a 'thump', he knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously. "Lin Chen, please don't kill me, I truly know I was wrong!"
"It's too late to know you're wrong now."
Lin Chen waved his hand at Zhong Hao.
Instantly.
Zhong Hao's body was engulfed by a green flame, and within two minutes, he was burned to ashes amidst his screams.
Lin Chen sneered, formed a hand seal, and disappeared from the spot.
The next day.
Lin Chen woke up early and was exercising in the residential area.
After running for a while, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him, exuding great charm with every movement.
"This must be the legendary 'backside killer'!"
Lin Chen sighed in his heart and continued running.
Just then, the beautiful figure accidentally twisted her ankle and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
Lin Chen felt a pang of sympathy and ran over, whispering, "Don't move, let me take a look."
At this moment, he saw the woman's face clearly – a round, oval face, with dark, lustrous eyes, and an aura of youthful vitality.
She was a true beauty, comparable to Shangguan Ling'er.
"The bone in your right foot is dislocated. Bear with it, I'll set it for you."
"Okay."
Qiu Hanying bit her lip and nodded, also sizing up Lin Chen. He looked decent, about a seven out of ten, and had a good demeanor.
Lin Chen gently shook Qiu Hanying's right foot twice, and a faint 'crack' sound was heard.
"Try moving it. Does it still hurt?"
Qiu Hanying nodded and found that it no longer hurt. Her eyes widened in surprise. It was healed so quickly, it was miraculous!
"Sir, thank you. I have a lot to do today, and if it weren't for you, it would have been delayed."
"You're welcome, it was just a small effort."
Lin Chen waved his hand.
"Sir, do you live here too? How come I've never seen you before?"
"I just moved in yesterday."
"Oh, I see! I am Qiu Hanying, the CEO of Ru Shuang Group. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Qiu Hanying smiled warmly and extended her hand to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took her hand and instantly knew her physical condition.
After thinking for a moment, he kindly reminded her, "Miss Qiu, you're on your period. It's best not to take cold showers or eat cold food, otherwise, you might experience a sudden illness."
Qiu Hanying was taken aback by his words. Her gaze then turned unfriendly as she glared at Lin Chen and questioned, "Did you investigate or stalk me?"
Lin Chen was a bit confused. He thought Qiu Hanying was nice and wanted to kindly remind her; how did it turn into investigation and stalking?
Seeing Lin Chen's silence, Qiu Hanying became even more convinced that she had hit the mark.
She had many admirers, and many of them had stalked and investigated her, all to find out her preferences so they could get close to her and please her.
Qiu Hanying also saw Lin Chen as one of those people, otherwise, how could he have known she was on her period, and that she had taken a cold shower and eaten cold food?
"Pervert! Don't think that just because you can do some medical stuff and helped me, I'll be grateful and fall for you. I've seen through your schemes. I hate you and don't want to see you again..."
Qiu Hanying gave Lin Chen a fierce glare, then turned and ran away.
Lin Chen let out a bitter smile, sighed, "It's really hard to be a good person these days!"
Half an hour later.
Lin Chen returned home.
Wang Fang had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
"Chen'er, hurry up and wash your hands. I've made your favorite millet porridge for you."
"Okay."
After breakfast.
Wang Fang pulled Lin Chen to sit in the living room.
"Chen'er, you've learned medicine, and our lives have gotten better. Shouldn't you start considering your lifelong happiness?"
Lin Chen's expression changed slightly. After what happened with Qin Wanru, he was hurt and had become more indifferent to matters of the heart.
Seeing this, Wang Fang anxiously took Lin Chen's hand and asked, "Chen'er, tell me honestly, are you still thinking about Qin Wanru?"
"Mom, what are you thinking? How could I still be thinking about such a vicious woman?"
"It's good that you're not. Mom was afraid you'd make a mistake. You're not young anymore, and it's time to get married. I'll find some old friends and introduce you to a good girl. Hehe!"
"Mom, some things can't be forced. Let fate decide!" Lin Chen was now focused on improving his strength and completing his master's tasks.
"..."
Two days passed unknowingly.
Thanks to Lin Chen's meticulous care, Wang Fang's health had completely recovered, and she was radiating with renewed vitality. She was like a different person compared to before.
Lin Chen hadn't forgotten that today was the wedding day of Zhang Tao and Qin Wanru. He took a taxi to the hotel where the wedding banquet was being held.
He saw that the parking lot was filled with many luxury cars.
Zhang Tao and Qin Wanru, dressed in her wedding gown, were at the entrance greeting guests.
The couple, who were whispering to each other, had strange expressions on their faces when they saw Lin Chen approaching, as they truly hadn't expected him to come.
"Lin Chen, you actually came. Welcome, a hearty welcome to the wedding of Wanru and me." Zhang Tao said with a fake smile.
Qin Wanru disdainfully looked Lin Chen up and down and said coldly, "Lin Chen, from today onwards, I am Zhang Tao's wife. I hope you forget me and don't have any more fantasies about me."
Zhang Tao, hearing this, proudly put his arm around Qin Wanru's slender waist. "Lin Chen, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Wanru for you. Of course, if you ever can't sleep at night thinking about Wanru, you can beg me. Maybe I'll soften my heart and let you see her, ha ha!"
Lin Chen remained silent, looking at Qin Wanru and Zhang Tao as if they were clowns.
Laugh!
Laugh your hearts out!
You won't even be able to cry later!
"Oh! I remember you said you were going to give me a big gift. Where is it?" Zhang Tao asked sarcastically.
"Don't worry, I always keep my word. This big gift won't disappoint you."
With that, Lin Chen walked in with his head held high. The show was about to begin.
