Ten thirty in the morning the next day.
"How are you feeling? Is your head still hurting after taking the medicine?"
Wan Yunting, who had been invited to treat Ye Manni, was taking her pulse and inquiring about her condition with a smile.
"Mmm, it doesn't hurt anymore..."
Ye Manni, having recovered considerably, had color back in her cheeks. She was no longer in the state of mental breakdown as seen yesterday, though she was still a bit frail and would need some time to recover.
"It's stable enough. I'll give you some acupuncture to consolidate the treatment."
Wan Yunting turned and called out to Niu Qiuling, "Bring me the silver needles."
"Okay..."
As she spoke, Niu Qiuling took the silver needles from his bag... Today she was dressed very understatedly, not as hot and sexy as before, nor with her usual heavy makeup.
The current Niu Qiuling looked more like her everyday work state at the police station.
Wan Yunting motioned for Niu Qiuling to hand the silver needles to Ye Manni's private doctor for sterilization, and with a very polite smile, he said, "Doctor, please help me sterilize these needles. Thank you."
The doctor took the silver needles and glanced at Ye Jiao and Yang Dong standing nearby. For some reason, he felt that this young Chinese doctor was different from yesterday!
Yesterday's Wan Yunting was arrogant and overbearing, looking down on everyone, even Ye Jiao.
But today's Wan Yunting was polite and friendly, smiling kindly at Ye Manni, "Lie on your front first. I'll give you a massage, and then acupuncture."
"Okay..."
Ye Manni nodded. She also felt that this person was different today, especially when he smiled, making him even more handsome. Ye Manni's heart skipped a beat as she turned and lay down with her head towards the foot of the bed.
Wan Yunting washed his hands and returned, sitting on a small stool at the foot of the bed. He placed his hands on Ye Manni's head and began to massage her. "Don't think about anything. If you feel sleepy, just sleep."
Ye Manni nodded and did as he instructed, clearing her mind. Under his professional massage techniques, the feeling was very comfortable...
Ye Jiao and Yang Dong stood by, watching silently, not disturbing them.
"Alright."
After inserting silver needles into Ye Manni's acupoints, Wan Yunting stood up and turned to them with a smile, "Remove the needles in half an hour, and you'll be fine."
Ye Jiao nodded. Suddenly, a commotion came from downstairs. Yang Dong frowned and turned to Mika, who was guarding the entrance, asking, "What's going on?"
At this moment, Cui Hui and others ran up. "Sister Jiao, it's Cai Biwen and his group causing trouble."
"What are they making a fuss about?"
Yang Dong asked with dissatisfaction. Ye Jiao's expression had already turned cold.
"It's about the trade fair. They say we're not bringing them along," Cui Hui said.
This decision was made by Ye Jiao last night, which greatly displeased the domestic drug traffickers. Hence, they came to cause a scene and demand an explanation, threatening to terminate their cooperation with Ye Jiao otherwise.
At this time, Ye Manni on the bed was also awakened by the commotion downstairs. Ye Jiao's expression was emotionless. She said to Wan Yunting, "Take good care of my daughter."
"Alright."
Wan Yunting nodded. Ye Jiao then took Yang Dong and the others downstairs. Seeing the domestic drug traffickers blocking the villa's main entrance, and upon seeing Ye Jiao emerge, a middle-aged man wearing a colorful shirt and a thick gold chain around his neck, named Cai Biwen, spoke up, "Sister Jiao, why aren't you taking us to the trade fair? You have to give us an explanation."
"That's right. We heard that only Yang Dong brought that guy named Wan Yunting, and he can go, so why can't we?"
"Sister Jiao, you're being unfair. Aren't you afraid we'll go to Huang Xingguang for goods?" Cai Biwen shot a sideways glance at Ye Jiao. The Huang Xingguang he mentioned was another competitor of Ye Jiao.
Ye Jiao's eyes were icy cold. She stared directly at Cai Biwen, who was leading the commotion, and then gestured to Mika beside her. Instantly, Mika lunged forward...
In a flash, she drew a military knife from her thigh holster, brought the blade across, and directly sliced Cai Biwen's throat. Blood spurted out. He clutched his neck tightly with both hands, his eyes wide with terror, and collapsed to his knees on the ground with a thud...
"This..."
The surrounding people, startled by this sudden turn of events, retreated in shock. They looked at Cai Biwen, who had been throat-slashed and lay on the ground, in disbelief. They never expected Ye Jiao to act so decisively without saying a word.
Mika's eyes were fierce and venomous. She wiped the bloodstained blade of the military knife with the corner of her clothes, revealing a glint that sent shivers down everyone's spine. This made the domestic drug traffickers panic and fear, swallowing hard. Ye Jiao was truly ruthless.
"Does anyone else have any objections?"
Ye Jiao spoke. A commanding aura emanated from her. Those who met her cold gaze trembled inwardly. They exchanged glances, not daring to speak again.
"Ah Cui, escort them out."
As Ye Jiao turned, she said to Cui Hui, then went upstairs to her daughter's room...
Yang Dong also instructed A Liang to handle Cai Biwen's body...
Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling, standing on the balcony of the living room upstairs, witnessed the entire scene. They had to admit that this foremost female drug lord was indeed ruthless. She killed without any justification, acting on impulse. It made Wan Yunting's heart pound, and he felt that his previous outbursts in front of Ye Jiao were like dancing on the edge of a knife. He was filled with trepidation...
Seeing Ye Jiao and Yang Dong return, Wan Yunting went out. "When do we leave?"
Ye Jiao replied calmly, "When my daughter is alright, then you can go."
"Okay."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, then went into the room to check on Ye Manni's condition. After half an hour, he removed the needles. Ye Manni, who had woken up, felt completely refreshed. "Mom, I feel much better, and my head doesn't hurt anymore."
"Mmm."
Seeing how effective Wan Yunting's treatment was for her daughter, Ye Jiao became even more determined to send Ye Manni to China for him to treat her.
"Then we should be going, so we don't delay the trade fair."
Wan Yunting, after packing the silver needles and handing them to Niu Qiuling, said with a smile to Ye Jiao and Yang Dong.
Ye Jiao gazed at him with her phoenix eyes and said with a faint smile, "Don't forget our deal!"
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "No problem. As long as Sister Jiao keeps her promise, everything is negotiable!"
As he spoke, he turned and walked out with Niu Qiuling. Ye Manni quickly called out, "Wait..."
Wan Yunting turned to look at her. Ye Manni stepped forward, her pretty face showing shyness, but she bowed slightly in gratitude and said, "Thank you for treating me."
Wan Yunting smiled, glanced at Ye Jiao, and then said to Ye Manni, "If you want to thank someone, thank your mother."
Ye Manni was stunned, not understanding what he meant!
But Wan Yunting smiled and walked out with Niu Qiuling.
Yang Dong turned to Ye Jiao and said, "Sister Jiao, then we're leaving."
"Good. Take more men with you and ensure his safety!" Ye Jiao nodded.
Yang Dong paused. Ye Jiao added, "Remember, no matter what he does, you don't need to interfere or ask about it. If anyone suspects his identity, you must protect him vigorously. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
Yang Dong nodded, knowing that Ye Jiao was doing this for her daughter's sake, hence the need to protect Wan Yunting's safety.
"Go ahead."
Ye Jiao said no more. Yang Dong nodded and withdrew, then went down to arrange for people to prepare to send Wan Yunting and his group to the Golden Triangle...
Ye Jiao looked back at her daughter and smiled gently, "Manni, do you want to go to China?"
"China?"
Ye Manni's pretty face showed surprise. Ye Jiao nodded and smiled, "Yes, I want to send you to China for that Wan Yunting who just treated you. Are you willing to go?"
"Okay."
Ye Manni agreed without a second thought, a happy smile on her face.
She had never been to China before. She had been sent to study in the United States by her mother, and later, due to her illness, Ye Jiao brought her back to be by her side and take care of her.
But the place Ye Manni wanted to go to the most was China!
Because she had seen various news about China online, such as it being the safest country in the world!
Therefore, Ye Manni dreamt of going to China, even wanting to live there.
Now, hearing her mother suggest going to China for Wan Yunting to treat her, Ye Manni was even more willing to go.
Ye Jiao seemed to read her daughter's mind, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of regret about making this decision...
