Chapter 7 Just a Glance to Know

Hospital.

Li Biao's ward.

Lin Zhengdong was slowly peeling an apple, his expression fluctuating.

"Brother Dong, I think that kid has run away!"

Though Li Biao was injured, he still remotely directed his underlings to search for Lu Ning's whereabouts.

In the past few days, Lu Ning had gone to Miaojiang, so naturally, they couldn't find him.

"What's the point even if you do find him? Didn't he stab you too?"

Lin Zhengdong set down the knife and tossed the peeled apple to Li Biao.

"Heh heh... I was just careless at that moment."

Li Biao held the apple, looking both embarrassed and touched.

Not all lackeys get to eat apples personally peeled by their bosses.

"Didn't you say you have a brother who grew up with you, someone quite formidable? Can you contact him? It's one thing if that kid ran away, but it's another if he pops up again—where would I put my face?"

Lin Zhengdong spoke with a somber expression.

That big fool actually took Su Muxue's virginity.

If word got out, he, Lin Zhengdong, would be Wu City's biggest joke.

Therefore, he had prepared two options for Lu Ning: either never come back to Wu City, or come back and face death.

"Of course, I can. I have his WeChat."

Li Biao nodded.

"Tell him I'm offering two million. As soon as that big fool shows his face, get it done for me!"

Lin Zhengdong narrowed his eyes, his voice cold.

"Alright, Brother Dong, I'll contact 'Black King Kong' right now!"

Li Biao picked up his phone and sent a message to his buddy nicknamed "Black King Kong."

A few minutes later, Li Biao grinned: "Brother Dong, Black King Kong says no problem. The moment the big fool shows up, he'll make his move."

"Hmm, there's two hundred thousand in this card. Once you're healed, take a few days off and enjoy yourself."

Lin Zhengdong indeed had a way of winning people over.

After handing Li Biao a bank card, he left the ward.

Noon.

Lu Ning also returned to Wu City.

He went straight to the hospital and pushed open the door of Tang Hu's ward.

Tang Yun was holding a towel, gently and meticulously wiping Tang Hu's back.

Being bedridden all the time, it was easy to develop bedsores if one didn't keep clean.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head, a look of surprise appearing on her innocent face: "Bro, you're back?"

"Yunyun, didn't you go to work?"

Lu Ning nodded and asked.

"Oh, I have a two-hour lunch break at noon, so I came to take care of Dad at the hospital!"

Tang Yun stuck out her tongue.

"You rest for a while then. Leave Uncle Tang to me."

After all, Tang Hu had become a vegetative state because of him, so Lu Ning felt extremely guilty.

"Have you eaten yet? I'll go buy two servings of fried rice and come back!"

After putting down the towel, Tang Yun considerately asked.

"Sure."

After Tang Yun left and closed the door behind her, Lu Ning finished wiping Tang Hu's body and took out a box of silver needles from his chest.

Upon opening it, he inserted them into Tang Hu's "Baihui Acupoint" and "Shenzang Acupoint."

The Five Poisons Sect, although it sounds somewhat sinister.

In fact, the rules of the Five Poisons Sect are extremely strict; its disciples are not only prohibited from easily using Parasite Poisoning on others but are also required to descend from the mountains annually to travel, heal diseases, save people, and benefit the localities.

Therefore, apart from being proficient in Parasite Poisoning, Lu Ning also had his own methods of healing and saving lives.

However, Tang Hu had been unconscious for too long, and even with Lu Ning's intervention, it would require some effort.

Soon, Lu Ning used the last of his silver needles.

Next, he placed both hands on Tang Hu's chest and began to circulate his True Qi.

As strands of pure True Qi entered Tang Hu's body, the shiny silver needles on him also began to tremble slightly.

"Huantiao, Sanyinjiao, Hegu, these are among the nine acupoints to resuscitate the yang energy!"

With a low shout from Lu Ning, more than a dozen silver needles swiftly left Tang Hu's body.

Reaching out to catch the silver needles, Lu Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to toss the needles into the trash.

If all went well, Tang Hu should be able to wake up before nightfall.

.......

Next door, in the special care ward.

After two days of treatment, Su Yunshan's complexion had noticeably improved.

With a spoon in her hand, Su Muxue scooped up some chicken soup, blew on it by her moist lips, and then offered it to Su Yunshan: "Dad, this is free-range chicken soup, sent by relatives from Mother Yang's hometown. It's especially nourishing."

"Hmm!"

After taking a light sip, Su Yunshan looked at his daughter, his expression showing he had something to say but hesitated.

"Dad, what is it? Do I have something dirty on my face?"

Su Muxue subconsciously put down the spoon and touched her cheek.

"Xue'er, the other night, Lin Zhengdong called me, saying that you and a trash picker... is it all true?"

Su Yunshan broached the subject cautiously.

"Ah...."

Su Muxue's face turned red all at once.

Although her mother passed away early and she had been living with her father since childhood, it still wasn't appropriate to discuss this kind of topic!

"Xue'er, what I want to say is, if what Lin Zhengdong told is true, bring that young man to see me. You're not getting any younger. Getting married might mean less trouble in the future!"

He said with heartfelt and serious emphasis.

"Dad... I... he..."

Su Muxue opened her mouth, intending to clarify that she had been drugged by Lin Zhengdong.

But suddenly, she realized she didn't even know the man's name.

Yet they had...

What on earth was happening!

"Xue'er, just bring him to me. In my life, I have dealt with all kinds of people. I'll know at a glance if he is suitable for you or not," Su Yunshan said firmly, though his voice wasn't loud.

After all, it concerned his daughter's lifelong happiness, and he was determined to vet the matter personally.

"Dad... Let's talk about this later!"

Su Muxue bit her lip, feeling somewhat flustered.

That man, aside from being a bit poor and somewhat silly, was genuinely handsome.

Moreover, his words carried an assertiveness that didn't seem to match his status.

Especially the forceful words "I'll protect you," which echoed continuously in Su Muxue's mind.

However, while Su Muxue was somewhat distracted, the door to the ward was pushed open.

"Xue'er, how's Uncle feeling now?"

Lin Zhengdong, carrying several boxes of nutritional supplements and with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, walked in.
