Chapter 1 The Greedy Wife

"I've already handled your discharge procedures,"

"You've been paralyzed for over a year, treating it is just a waste of money."

"This compensation money would be better spent on my brother's wedding!"

In the hospital room, Qin Yu lay limp in his wheelchair as if boneless.

His head drooped, and his eyes, bloodshot, were fixed on the several people before him.

The beautiful woman speaking was his wife, Feng Yu.

The others were members of Feng Yu's family.

More than a year ago, a car accident had left him paralyzed from head to toe.

During that year, Feng Yu never fulfilled her duties as a wife.

A few days ago, after the compensation money was secured, she suddenly showed up and drove away Chen Chuxia, who had been taking care of him for free all this time.

In the days since Feng Yu returned, she had treated him with nothing but cruelty.

To survive until the day of the surgery, Qin Yu endured humiliation and clung to life.

However, even when the doctors affirmed that surgery would highly likely lead to recovery,

Feng Yu still used her status as a family member to stop the surgery directly.

With a master stroke, she utterly destroyed his last hope.

And now, she wanted to take the money meant to save his life to buy her brother a car.

To confiscate the only house he had left for her brother's marital home.

"That's my life-saving money!"

"Even if there's no cure, I still want to try."

At this moment, Qin Yu felt an unparalleled desolation in his heart.

Feng Yu looked at Qin Yu, paralyzed and incapacitated, without a shred of compassion.

Instead, with revulsion, she said, "Don't you have any idea of your own condition?"

"Even if you were cured, you'd just be a hopeless loser who couldn't make money."

"My brother's wedding is the top priority."

Qin Yu's heart grew colder as he roared, "My compensation, my house, why should they be used for his wedding?"

"Because the property deed has my sister's name on it,"

"As long as you and my sister are married, your money and house are hers."

"Does she need the permission of a loser like you to manage her own things?"

Feng Jie said this with a smug look on his face.

He had been coveting that house for a long time.

When Qin Yu first bought that house, it cost less than two million. Now it had more than doubled several times over.

That was real money!

"Now that you want money, do you remember we're husband and wife?"

"And where was she while I needed someone to take care of me, off having a good time with someone else?"

Qin Yu's eyes were bright red with rage as he screamed.

But being completely immobile, he couldn't do a thing against this family.

The house was purchased in full with the compensation money from the demolition of his old family home, before the marriage.

When he married Feng Yu, he was demanded to add her name to the deed.

She had the audacity to not only conspire to take his compensation but also shamelessly wanted to seize his house.

To Qin Yu's fury, Feng Yu's family couldn't care less, their eyes filled with mockery and disdain.

Feng Jie pointed at Qin Yu's nose and cursed, "Sis, I told you not to marry such a loser; I said he would never amount to anything in his life."

"Look at him now, making a fuss over a bit of money."

"Such a loser doesn't deserve you at all."

Feng Yu's family wholeheartedly agreed with this.

Wang Ying, Feng Yu's mother, suddenly interjected, "It's your good fortune that Xiaoyu would condescend to marry a loser like you."

"If you truly loved Xiaoyu, you wouldn't be so selfish as to drain this family dry."

"The compensation and the house can be considered as reparations for Xiaoyu's lost youth."

"We'll send you back to your parents in your hometown."

"Perhaps that will even help with your recovery."

With those words, regardless of whether Qin Yu agreed or not, they had him pushed out of the hospital room.

The medical staff felt quite helpless about this situation.

As the patient's family voluntarily gave up on the treatment, there was nothing they could do.

Upon being pushed out of the hospital, Qin Yu was forcefully stuffed into the backseat of a minivan along with his wheelchair.

The vehicle quickly left the Nanzhou City Area.

Qin Yu was alarmed, "This isn't the way to my hometown; where are you taking me?"

The young man driving laughed eerily, "You'll know when we get there."

After four or five hours, the minivan stopped on a mountain road.

Two young men lifted Qin Yu from the vehicle and pushed him into the forest to the right of the road.

At last, they arrived deep in the woods, a place far from the beaten path, desolate and uninhabited.

There was a pit nearby that appeared to have been freshly dug.

Feng Yu, Feng Jie, and others followed closely behind.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Seeing the large pit, Qin Yu widened his eyes and looked at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu, with a relaxed and happy smile, said, "Now that it's come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you."

"The car accident you had while driving for the ride-hailing service? I drugged you. You thought you were just dizzy from fatigue, didn't you?"

"However, I didn't expect such a loser like you to have such a tough life; you didn't die."

"After your paralysis, I originally planned to let you rot on your own."

"But I never imagined there would be such a foolish woman in the world."

"Who would keep looking after you for free, acting as your nurse."

Qin Yu's heart abruptly contracted as he looked at Feng Yu, desperately trying to awaken a shred of conscience in her heart.

"Feng Yu, we were husband and wife, I never did anything to wrong you."

"I've been paralyzed for over a year, and I never asked you to take care of me."

"If you look down on me, you might as well leave."

"Why make things so absolute?"

Feng Yu, however, sneered.

If she filed for divorce, and one party was unable to care for themselves, even after the divorce the court would rule that she must continue to fulfill her duties.

But if Qin Yu died...

Feng Yu slowly squatted in front of Qin Yu, pinching his face, and said with a seductive smile, "Don't you love me, and want me to have a better life?"

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard."

"As long as you die, I can get your house and compensation money."

"I can even marry a rich second generation."

"Don't worry, I'll live very well, just as you wished!"

At that moment, Qin Yu's heart turned to ash.

The Feng family had long planned to get rid of him!

Looking at the woman who had shared the bed with him for years, he suddenly felt an immense sense of unfamiliarity.

She had become so heartlessly mad.

"All right, you can go now."

Before Qin Yu could speak again, Feng Yu suddenly pushed the wheelchair fiercely, sending Qin Yu and the wheelchair tumbling into the pit.

Lying on his side in the pit, Qin Yu caught a glimpse of the cold and fierce eyes of the family.

Feng Yu stood beside the pit like a queen high above, her face expressionless as she watched him.

It was as if they weren't burying a person, but an animal.

The next moment, two unfamiliar youths picked up shovels and began to bury him.

It seemed they deliberately buried his body first, leaving his head exposed outside so he could watch himself being buried alive.

Qin Yu's heart pounded violently, his breathing was rapid, and his soul was filled with intense fear.

As the dirt covered his entire body, his vision turned dark, and he couldn't breathe properly.

The scent of death spread quickly.

Despair.

Breakdown.

His consciousness gradually became blurry.

Meanwhile, Feng Yu, Feng Jie, and their family had already left.

The three youths completely filled the pit and patted it down with shovels.

Then, they covered it with some branches and leaves.

After finishing these tasks, the three youths each lit a cigarette, rested for a moment, and then left.

...

In the pit, Qin Yu's consciousness became blurry, and his life force quickly faded.

But just then.

A peculiar mark on his arm like a birthmark was enveloped in a faint halo.

And Qin Yu seemed to be in a fantastic dream.

In the dream was a blank world, and a deep voice, as if having gone through the ages, captivated his heart.

"Seal released."

"Now I grant you the inheritance of the Qin family's Yin Yang Medical Saint!!"

In an instant, Qin Yu's mind was flooded with a mass of information.

It was as if his head was being forcibly split open and stuffed with countless memories.

Strange and abrupt, yet clear and profound.

"The conception vessel is the sea of the yin meridians."

"The governor vessel is the sea of the yang meridians."

"If the governor and conception vessels are unblocked, then the eight meridians are unblocked."

"If the eight meridians are unblocked, then all meridians are unblocked."

"Yin and Yang correspond to the governor and conception vessels."

"And life and death mean to be put in a situation of certain death and then be reborn."

"Only then can one begin with the Yin Yang Life and Death Decree."

As this information emerged in his mind, Qin Yu suddenly had an epiphany.

In the dream, he sat crossed-legged and started practicing the Yin Yang Life and Death Decree according to the information in his inheritance.

Time passed, and how long it was, he did not know.

Suddenly, Qin Yu's eyes snapped open, and there seemed to be light swirling in his pupils.

Qin Yu held his breath, exerted force in his arms, and broke the ropes that bound his body.

Then he bent his legs, like a spring compressed to its limit, and then suddenly kicked out.

"Bang!!!"

The pit burst open from the impact, and Qin Yu shot out like a rocket.

At that moment, Qin Yu couldn't care less about exploring the inheritance.

He followed his memory back the way he came, and upon descending the mountain, he arrived on the winding mountain road.

By the roadside was a van, still parked.

It was the one he had taken earlier.

The three youths were just about to get in and drive away.

But they did not see Feng Yu and the others around.

Qin Yu quickly caught up to them.

In the dead of night, a figure they had just buried with their own hands, disheveled and covered in mud, suddenly appeared in front of them.

The three youths instantly panicked, their hair standing on end.

Without a word, Qin Yu dragged the three youths out of the van.

With a few punches and kicks, he disabled both hands of the three men.

"Tell the Feng family, I will not let them off."

After leaving the message for the three men, Qin Yu drove the van back to Nanzhou City.
