242: Chapter 242: The Embarrassed Xi Jue 242: Chapter 242: The Embarrassed Xi Jue “I have no involvement in the Bai Family’s matters, and you also cannot interfere with my treatment plan.”
“Moreover, you previously said you suspected your father was drugged; I am only responsible for treating the illness, doing my best to cure your father.
As for other matters, I will not concern myself with them!”
Su He stated with a clear train of thought.
Originally, she did not want to get into this mess, but now it seemed she had no choice.
She could only comfort herself by thinking of it as accumulating one more case experience.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Luo responded, “Okay, I understand.
If you need me to cooperate with anything, just say the word.”
Su He lifted her eyelids slightly and said, “There is something I need your cooperation with right now.”
Bai Luo: “Miss Su, please speak.”
Su He: “I don’t want to stay here, I don’t want to see Xi Jue, and I don’t want to be surveilled!”
Bai Luo was momentarily taken aback…
She really didn’t expect her to be so direct.
“Then where would Miss Su like to stay?”
“A hotel,” Su He said slowly: “Rest assured, I promised to help treat your father and I won’t go back on my word.
I just want some peace and quiet.”
Bai Luo considered it for a few seconds and then agreed to her request.
Now, Su He had a different impression of her.
Actually, she could say that she didn’t quite understand Bai Luo.
She gives off the impression of a woman with deep schemes; otherwise, she wouldn’t have pretended to be in a vegetative state for so long.
But sometimes, she seems to give off a completely different vibe.
Which persona is the real her, Su He didn’t know yet, and she also didn’t want to waste time digging deeper.
After all, Bai Luo did not pose any harm to her at the moment.
“Alright, I’ll have someone send you to the hotel.”
“Are you sure Xi Jue won’t stop us?”
“Don’t worry, with me here, he won’t dare to stop you.”
Su He raised her eyebrows and nodded, “Okay.”
Five minutes later.
Su He, accompanied by Su Yimo, left the estate.
Xi Jue was sitting in the living room, his face somber.
He looked at Bai Luo, who sat opposite him with a deep gaze, and said with helpless yet non-aggressive tone, “Luoluo, are you stupid?
It was so hard for me to bring her back, and you just let her go like that, can’t you be less kind?”
Bai Luo, dressed in a white knitted dress, sitting gracefully opposite him, smiled elegantly and said gently, “Ah Jue, Miss Su said she wouldn’t leave, and I believe her.”
She trusts that Su He is not someone who breaks her word.
Xi Jue spoke irritably, “You believe her just because she says so?
I think you’ve slept for seven years and have become foolish because of it!”
He stood up angrily and left after dropping those words.
He was afraid that if he continued to argue with her, he would die of rage!
Watching him go, Bai Luo’s eyes slightly dimmed, lost in thought.
On the other side.
After leaving the estate, Su He went straight to the hotel where Jiang Yan was staying.
After arriving in country X, Jiang Yan had sent her a message.
When Jiang Feng and the others saw Su He appear at the hotel with Su Yimo, they were all dumbfounded.
“Young, Young Madam, you’ve returned?” Jiang Feng called out with a slight stutter.
They were still discussing how to rescue her and the young master, and before they had even started acting, the Young Madam had shown up on her own with the young master.
Su He asked, “Hmm, where is he?”
Jiang Feng: “Master is in the room.”
With that, he immediately opened the door.
“…”
The next morning, Bai Luo arrived at the hotel with her people to pick up Su He.
Last night, after Su He arrived at the hotel, she sent the hotel’s address to her.
“Miss Su, thank you for making the trip with me.”
Bai Luo had already taken Mr.
Bai out of the Bai Family home, and he is currently staying in a private hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Su He wasted no time and immediately began treating Mr.
Bai.
Last night, Bai Luo had sent all of his father’s medical reports to her, and after reviewing them, Su He decided to use Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment.
She needed to detoxify Mr.
Bai’s body by slowly expelling the toxins through acupuncture.
During this process, she allowed no one to disturb her, so she was alone in the ward with the patient.
When Su He emerged from the ward, four hours had elapsed.
“Dr.
Su, how is my father…?” Bai Luo asked anxiously as she looked at her.
Su He could tell that Bai Luo was genuinely concerned about Mr.
Bai; involuntary actions and expressions are hard to fake.
Xi Jue stood behind her, eyeing her sharply, his gaze seemingly warning, “If you haven’t cured him, you’ll pay with your life!”
Su He glanced at him indifferently, unbothered.
Her gaze returned to Bai Luo, her expression still cold, her voice clear and chilly: “The residual toxins in your father’s body have been expelled, but he won’t recover immediately; it requires gradual recuperation.
Additionally, the toxins in your father’s system have been accumulating for a long time and have begun to erode his body.
Although I have administered acupuncture, I cannot predict the extent of his recovery.
After all, I am a doctor, not a deity.
However, one thing I can assure you of is that your father is not in immediate danger.
Later, I’ll write a prescription for you; just make sure the patient takes the medicine on time.”
Bai Luo understood her meaning, and as long as there was no threat to his father’s life, that’s all that mattered: “I understand, thank you, Dr.
Su.”
Su He merely hummed emotionlessly in response, and then asked, “Can I go now?”
Bai Luo: “Yes, I’ll have someone escort you home.”
Su He: “No need, I have a ride.”
Jiang Yan had appeared at some point, now standing right in front of Su He.
Bai Luo sensed something, turned her head, and saw Jiang Yan’s tall figure standing nearby.
Su He had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped.
She turned to Xi Jue and said, “Mr.
Xi, do you have a moment right now?”
Xi Jue: “What is it?”
Su He: “We haven’t settled our accounts yet, and you’re asking what it is?”
Xi Jue frowned slightly, a hint of coldness lurking between his brows.
Su He’s peach blossom eyes also permeated with a frosty air, on par with his, if not surpassing.
A man and a woman, evenly matched in presence and momentum.
Half an hour later.
In the underground boxing ring.
Jiang Yan held her hand and said, “Let me do it.”
He really hadn’t expected her to choose this route.
Once Su He made up her mind, she wouldn’t easily change it; she said firmly, “No, I’ve wanted to beat him for a long time, and besides, I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”
Jiang Yan knew her martial abilities, but he was still concerned, considering Xi Jue had also been trained, distinguishing him from his own bodyguards.
Seeing his brows tightly knit in concern, Su He tiptoed and whispered something in his ear.
Surprise flickered through the man’s deep, dark eyes, quickly followed by a sense of helplessness and indulgence.
It seemed his understanding of her was insufficient after all—he hadn’t even known she was the boxing champion of the underground circuit.
“Alright then, just be careful.”
“You cheer for me from below.”
“Sure.”
Su He removed her wedding ring and took another ring from her pocket, slipping it onto her finger again.
Jiang Yan watched her and did not interfere or question her; he knew she had her reasons.
She handed the wedding ring to him, saying, “Honey, please take care of my wedding ring for me.”
Su He seldom called him “husband,” and the word stirred ripples at the bottom of Jiang Yan’s heart as he gently caressed her cheek.
“Okay.”
Xi Jue had already been waiting in the ring for a while, his eyes darkly watching the two dawdling below.
“Are we fighting or not?”
Five minutes later.
Su He took off her coat, revealing a black tight-fitting knit top and black leggings underneath, her attire seemed as if she was prepared for a fight with him all along.
“Don’t you want to wear boxing gloves and a helmet?”
Xi Jue looked at her and asked a question.
Su He only wrapped her hands with sports tape, refusing all other equipment.
Su He slightly lifted her eyelids, giving him a cool and indifferent look, “No need, if you need it you can wear it.”
The look in her eyes was clearly filled with sarcasm and provocation, he could only use the tip of his tongue to press down at the back of his lower teeth.
Su He was definitely the most outrageous woman he had ever seen, without a doubt.
Xi Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, “Dr.
Su, it’s not too late to back out now, I won’t go easy on you.”
Su He sneered, “Don’t worry, I won’t be merciful either.”
Her confident and unyielding demeanor made Xi Jue feel a bit of irony.
There weren’t many spectators under the stage, other than Jiang Yan, Jiang Feng, and Xi Jue’s personal bodyguard Ah Wu, there were no others.
Honestly, at the beginning, Jiang Feng was somewhat worried for their Young Madam, after all, there was a significant difference in strength between men and women in a fight.
But a few minutes in, any worry he had for Su He evaporated.
He was simply worrying needlessly, anyone who saw the Young Madam’s skills would be afraid…
On the fighting ring, Xi Jue had just taken a punch to the abdomen.
Su He’s attacks were clean, sharp, and ferociously quick, filling one with adrenaline.
In the first few minutes, Xi Jue was mostly on the defensive, and Su He on the offensive.
Several times, Xi Jue wanted to attack, but all failed as they were evaded by Su He, who then shifted from defense to offense!
“Not bad at all!”
He managed to say during a brief respite.
Su He didn’t pay him any attention, only squinting her eyes, bending slightly, and with a sweep of her right leg, she kicked towards his knee.
Xi Jue was startled, but luckily he reacted quickly and dodged in time.
“Su He, what the hell is this, boxing?”
He roared in anger, she was fighting without following any set patterns!
Su He: “Did I ever say I would only compare boxing techniques with you?”
After speaking, she quickly rose, lifting her left leg and aiming a kick towards his right cheek, Xi Jue immediately used his arm to block, but in the next second, Su He lifted her right leg and aimed a kick at his left cheek, he blocked with his arm again…
Su He didn’t give him a chance to breathe, her continuous attacks forcing Xi Jue into a defensive position.
His face was now as dark as if splashed with a bucket of ink, full of rage.
Jiang Feng, watching from below the stage, was dumbfounded, he inwardly exclaimed: “The Young Madam’s combat power really doesn’t match her looks!”
A beautiful and stunning woman, yet who knew she could be so ruthless when it came to fighting.
Although he had seen the Young Madam fight before, she had never been this fierce.
It was as if she wanted to tear Xi Jue apart.
And standing next to him, Ah Wu, was both astounded and shocked; their Young Master’s skills were not bad, but they were utterly useless against Dr.
Su.
He could only silently pray for his own master in his heart, powerless to assist…
“Fuck!”
On the stage, Xi Jue cursed under his breath in irritation.
The cause was Su He’s underhanded move; her kick had landed on his calf, and the woman had not held back at all, it was a ruthless blow!
If not for his strong physique, how could he possibly withstand her brute force…
Su He looked at him, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain: “It seems Mr.
Xi’s skills aren’t up to much, unable to even beat a woman!”
This was naked provocation and insult!
Xi Jue clenched his teeth and said, “You’re celebrating too soon!”
Su He scoffed, “Is that so?
Then let’s see your strength!”
“…”
Down at the stage, aside from Jiang Yan whose heart had been tense the whole time, the others were in a mood for watching a drama, and the more they watched, the more thrilling it became.
Unconsciously, half an hour had passed.
During this time, Su He had been hit by Xi Jue’s fist twice, but both were glancing blows, nothing serious.
As for him, he fared a bit worse.
Xi Jue thought that as time passed, her physical strength would decline, but half an hour had gone by, and he didn’t see any decrease in her vigor; instead, she seemed to become fiercer!
This is freakin’ a freak…
But the dignity of a man does not allow him to lose to her!
Afterward, another half hour passed.
The entire venue was very quiet, so silent that only the sounds of the two fighting on the ring could be heard.
Jiang Feng felt like prostrating himself right there and then; their Young Madam’s endurance was too astonishing, she seemed to never tire.
While Xi Jue clearly began to show signs of fatigue, his stance growing somewhat unstable.
But on the surface, Xi Jue appeared unscathed.
Despite Su He’s aggressive attacks, Jiang Feng and the others didn’t see any marks on his face.
Yet, the pain was something only Xi Jue knew.
Su He specifically targeted certain acupoints on his body for her attacks.
At first, he didn’t realize anything was amiss, but gradually, he caught on.
She had medical training; she knew exactly which parts of the body were the most vulnerable and aimed precisely for those…
Su He also noticed his faltering steps; she narrowed her eyes subtly, a trace of ruthlessness flashing through them.
Suddenly, she pivoted her body, her right foot raised high, and kicked fiercely towards the left side of his neck.
Xi Jue raised his hand to block, and in the next moment, Su He quickly retracted her foot.
Like a nimble cat, she was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Su He clenched her left fist and slammed a punch onto his body.
A silver needle, hidden within the ring on her ring finger, soared out and directly pierced Xi Jue’s shoulder.
The sensation of the needle entering his body was minuscule, but Xi Jue still felt it.
His brows furrowed, his expression flickered, and a hint of sinister air passed through his eyes.
When he tried to move, he found himself completely powerless.
He glared at Su He, grinding his teeth and said, “What did you do to me?”
Su He smirked devilishly, her red lips slightly curving, “Something that could take your life.”
Xi Jue’s pupils contracted, then, Su He lifted her leg and kicked him in the abdomen, and Xi Jue, this tall figure, was immediately brought to his knees before her.
“…”
Su He’s beautiful and icy eyes slightly drooped to look at him, her voice cold as a sharp dagger, “You can threaten me with anyone, but you should never have involved my son.
You should feel lucky that he wasn’t hurt; otherwise, your injuries today would have been far more substantial.”
Ah Wu watched from below, dumbfounded.
Their Young Master, proudly unyielding for half his life, had never been so disheveled, and now he knelt before a woman, this…
“Miss Su, please show mercy.”
Ah Wu, seeing that Su He wanted to continue the fight, promptly cried out.
But Su He paid no heed to his words.
Then, the audience saw Su He raise her right leg, with the back of her foot facing Xi Jue’s neck, and fiercely deliver a kick that brought him sprawling to the ground.
Su He showed no mercy, for he did not deserve it, and she had no need to spare him either.
Xi Jue probably never imagined that one day he would be floored by a woman.
By the time Si Jinchuan arrived, Su He and the others were just about to leave.
His gaze deep, he glimpsed at Su He.
But Su He didn’t return his look; instead, she left the underground boxing ring arm in arm with Jiang Yan.
Si Jinchuan watched her retreating figure, his expression darkening.
When he turned to enter the boxing ring, he saw Ah Wu struggling to assist a disheveled Xi Jue.
With a frown, without saying a word, the two managed to get him to the hospital.
An hour later.
Si Jinchuan looked at the numerous injuries on Xi Jue’s body and was utterly stunned.
They were called wounds, but there was no blood to be seen, just bruising—here a spot, there another, like a piece of cloth, patched and mended.
The doctor muttered while treating, “Who inflicted these?
So ruthless, these injuries will not heal in a month or two…”
Ah Wu stood silently to the side, daring not to utter a word; he feared provoking their Young Master’s greatest humiliation…
Hotel.
Upon returning, Su He was dragged into the room by Jiang Yan.
Su Baobao had wanted to follow, but alas, his short legs couldn’t keep up with his dad’s swift door closing.
“What are you doing?”
Su He looked puzzled at the man who said nothing yet pulled her into the room.
