Hearing his diagnosis, Liu Xiyao’s eyes flashed with a strange glint. She shot Ling Chen a measuring gaze, pausing for half a beat before finally answering, “How do you know that? Have you studied medicine before?”
Ling Chen declined to answer, merely saying, “Miss Liu, let me give you a word of advice. If you hope to live for a few more years, then you should stop taking that medicine.”
“This is only a herb meant to strengthen the body, what’s wrong with it?”
“Miss Liu, is it convenient for you to show me the prescription?”
Liu Xiyao hesitated for a while, before taking out her phone, searching for a screenshot of the prescription formula and showing it to Ling Chen.
“Is there something wrong with it?”
Ling Chen glanced through the formula. “There’s nothing wrong with the prescription, but there’s an error with the usage of the drug. Someone had increased the dosage of an additional ingredient. This ingredient does not harm the human body on its own. Still, when mixed with the other components, they will slowly accumulate in your body and form toxins, crippling the body’s natural functions. I checked your pulse just now and discovered that you showed symptoms of being slightly poisoned. If you do not stop using the medication and do not undergo treatment immediately, you would at best only have five years left to live.” After delivering one piece of solemn news after another, he then continued, “Just now when you suddenly fainted, that was due to being poisoned.”
Hearing that, Liu Xiyao’s complexion suddenly sank and fury blazed in her eyes.
“Miss Liu, I am not familiar with you, so I definitely have no reason to lie to you. No matter who brewed this medication for you, I advise you to keep your guard up.”
Speaking till this point, Ling Chen lamented inwardly. To think an absolute beauty like her would be the victim of someone’s devious schemes, that person simply had no conscience!
By that time, Liu Xiyao had regained a calm facade.
“I understand, thanks for your reminder.”
With that, she stood up and took out a cheque book from the coffee table beside her bed. She scribbled some numbers on the cheque before passing it to Ling Chen.
“I hope that you can keep this secret and not spread it to others.”
Ling Chen eyed the cheque. It was actually two hundred thousand dollars, definitely not a small amount. He bit his lip, but eventually pushed the check away.
“Miss Su, I have my principles. Don’t worry about me leaking your secret. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll get going then.”
“Wait.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Since you were able to diagnose the problem with my body, then you probably have a way to cure it as well?”
“The problem isn’t too big, as long as you undergo therapy, you can recover within a few months. For this trivial matter, you can find a doctor at the hospital. They can definitely resolve it.”
Liu Xiyao shook her head. “I can’t go to the hospital. If I do, then they definitely will…” She stopped halfway, as though suddenly remembering something and hurriedly closed her mouth. She then changed the topic, “It’s not convenient for me to visit the hospital. You seem quite astute, I don’t have to explain everything so clearly.”
As she said that, she stood in front of Ling Chen, before handing the check over to him again. “This two hundred thousand dollars just take it as a fee for treating my ailment.”
Seeing the sincere plea in Liu Xiyao’s eyes, Ling Chen felt his heart relenting, before subconsciously nodding his head.
“Thank you for helping me.”
Ling Chen was at a loss for words, and the lyrics to a song sprang up in his mind.
Your heart is always too soft, ever too soft… Haiz, what can I do, I can only blame it on the fact that the woman is a beauty. As long as a beauty asked, how could I not relent?
At that moment, the landline telephone in the room rang suddenly.
Liu Xiyao picked up the phone call. Ling Chen did not know what the contents of the call were, but he caught Liu Xiyao discreetly looking at him.
“Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up the call, she opened up her mouth to say, “Xiao Lin got into a scuffle with someone downstairs, you…”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Without waiting for Liu Xiyao to finish her sentence, Ling Chen immediately ran out of the room. However, he had only left for a few seconds, before his head suddenly popped back in. “Right, which floor is she on?”
“Third floor.”
“Noted.”
Third floor…?! Liu Xiyao’s complexion suddenly changed, and she exclaimed ‘not good!”, before rushing out of the room as well.
“Hey, Ling Chen, do not go to the third floor. It is… Where did he go?”
At that moment, the hallway was empty, with Ling Chen vanishing to god knows where.
After locating the emergency staircase, Ling Chen was afraid that Su Lin would suffer a loss and rushed down to the third floor. Without thinking too much about it, he charged through the door.
“Miss Su!”
The moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly froze. His nostrils flared to an incredibly large degree. There was a sea of white in front of him, rendering him in a trance.
The thighs… the thighs are so white…
The breasts are so big…
Ling Chen could not stop himself from salivating, and his eyes shone with a lecherous light.
The third floor of the club was dedicated to spa treatments. On one side, there were hydrotherapy devices and on the other side, there were several large baths.
The women in the baths were all graceful in appearance, clad in sexy bikinis. Some women only wore a bath towel around their bodies, exposing their fragrant shoulders. Although the crucial parts were blocked, the spring in the garden could not be hidden, and Ling Chen still got an eyeful.
“When were there guys in the club?”
“Scoundrel!”
“This young brother looks pretty handsome. I wonder how his figure is.”
Ling Chen’s sudden appearance instantly caused the women there to descend into a furore, clamouring noisily and gesticulating wildly at him. The ones who lusted for him were all middle-aged women, while the ones who were scolding him as scoundrel were young ladies.
Luckily, Ling Chen was someone who had seen the world. When facing this situation, he merely coughed lightly and straightened his clothes. Looking straight ahead, under the gawking of the female crowd, he walked over to Su Lin’s side with large strides. He cast an admiring gaze at her. It seems like the pink bikini could not hide the fiery figure of hers. Due to her usually wearing more conservative clothing, the moment her twin peaks were exposed in front of him, he found that they were actually so full and ample. This caused Ling Chen to involuntarily swallow large gulps of saliva.
“Miss Su, are you alright?”
At this point, Su Lin finally regained her senses, staring at Ling Chen with shock. She never expected Ling Chen to appear in a place like this. Furthermore, the scoundrel’s eyes were fixated on a specific part of her that he had no rights to be staring at. She was about to flare up, only to hear a voice full of ridicule. “Su Lin, this is your boyfriend? Heh, your eye for men is not just ordinarily bad, even this kind of scum can enter your eyes as well? No wonder Qin Yang dumped you and came to me, you can only blame yourself for having inferior tastes.”
Su Lin fumed, “Song Yuan, you better open up your ears and listen closely. I was the one who dumped Qin Yang. Who asked him to fool around outside, only promiscuous women like you will want him.”
Song Yuan flicked her long wet hair and casually replied, “Su Lin, let me teach you something. Women who have sexual experience do not represent promiscuity. Or do you mean to say that all the women here are promiscuous? Besides, how old are you now? Who else is as conservative as you and who guards their body so tightly as though it was some sort of treasure? Please, you’re already in your twenties, but you’re still a virgin. A woman like you will be a laughingstock when you go out. I say, you best find a man while you can and enjoy the intimate feeling of joining as one. I guarantee that you will fall in love with that feeling.”
With her words, the women surrounding them all revealed a peal of knowing laughter.
Su Lin felt her cheeks burning up and raged, “You….”
