Seeing Li Huowang's move, Yang Na took a small step back nervously. "What are you doing? The nurses at the station can hear us here."

Hardly had her voice faded when the giggles of the nurses came from the speaker beside the bed. "Hehe, it's okay. We can't hear a thing. Come on, little brother Li!"

"Dear sisters, could you stop being so nosy? Focus your extra attention on the intensive care unit instead."

After shouting towards the head of the bed, Li Huowang pulled Yang Na to the other corner of the room. He took out the jade pendant from his pocket and stuffed it into her palm. Then he leaned over and whispered instructions into her ear. Yang Na's eyes grew wider and wider as he spoke.

"This can't be true. This—" Before she could finish, Li Huowang reached out and covered her mouth directly.

Their eyes met. Li Huowang stared at Yang Na with intense longing in his eyes.

"Help me. Everything I said is true. Even my parents outside don't trust me. They all think I'm crazy. You're the only one I can turn to. You're the only one in the world I trust. I'm really not crazy!"

After looking at Li Huowang for a few seconds, Yang Na finally bit her lip and nodded. When she left, her eyes were red, and she kept looking back as if extremely worried about Li Huowang's mental state.

Li Huowang watched her departing back with mixed feelings. He didn't care what others thought of him anymore, but Yang Na was different.

"Nana, trust me just this once, just one time!"

Time always seemed to pass slowly when one was waiting. Li Huowang paced back and forth in the room restlessly.

During this time, he had another hallucination, but he snapped back to reality as fast as he could. According to the doctor, this wasn't good, but he was afraid of missing Yang Na.

One day passed, then two, then three. As days went by, Li Huowang became more and more insecure.

"Xiao Li, your little girlfriend is here to see you!" Hearing the nurse's announcement, Li Huowang did a somersault off the bed and rushed towards the hospital entrance.

In the hospital garden, Li Huowang and Yang Na met. They hugged each other excitedly.

Yang Na suppressed her voice and shouted in his ear, "Huowang, it's true. That jade pendant is real!"

"I'm not crazy!! Hahaha!! I'm not crazy!!" Li Huowang excitedly hugged the girl's slender waist and spun around in the air.

After they had been excited for a long time, they finally calmed down.

"Did helping me affect your life and studies?" Li Huowang asked with concern as he looked at Yang Na sitting sideways on the flower - bed.

Instead of answering directly, Yang Na changed the subject. She held out four slender, fair fingers towards Li Huowang. "Do you know how much that jade pendant is worth? This much!"

"Four... ten thousand?"

"Forty thousand! And I think the price they gave was too low. If we ask a few more places, it'll definitely be even higher."

"Forty thousand... forty thousand..." Li Huowang grinned foolishly. This money could not only cover his medical expenses over the years but also leave some extra. More importantly, this was just the beginning.

"Yang Na, are you ready to become a little rich woman?"

Li Huowang's teasing made Yang Na blush slightly. "Stop being so glib. This whole thing is so strange. Won't it really harm your body?"

"It's okay. What could happen to me? I'm fine. If this is the case, I might have to postpone my treatment. This is a treasure. I can't get cured so soon."

Hearing this, Yang Na looked worried. She said to Li Huowang with concern, "Huowang, these are two different things. I don't want the money. You mustn't stop your treatment, and you can't stop taking your medicine. Promise me, or I won't help you anymore."

Li Huowang had many reasons in mind to refute her, but looking into her caring and worried eyes, a warm current welled up in his heart. "Okay, I promise you."

Yang Na smiled and gently patted him on the head. "That's a good boy, stinky little brother."

Just as they were talking about how to turn the jade pendant into cash, several burly middle - aged men rushed past with riot forks in their hands.

"Master Zhao, what's going on? What happened?" Li Huowang asked one of the familiar faces in confusion.

"Don't ask so many questions. Xiao Li, go back to your ward quickly. And if you see Old Liu, report it immediately. That guy must have secretly spat out his medicine again." After saying this in a hurry, the man turned and rushed towards the stairs.

"Aren't there two layers of iron fences around the intensive care area? How could Old Liu, with his small build, escape?" Li Huowang looked in that direction doubtfully. He had stayed there for a while when he couldn't distinguish between hallucinations and reality. It was not a pleasant memory.

Seeing that the other patients were being taken back to their wards by the nurses, Li Huowang turned to Yang Na and said, "It's getting a bit chaotic here. You go back first. Call the hospital tonight, and we'll talk on the phone."

"Okay, then you stay well here. And remember what you promised me just now." After saying that, Yang Na turned and walked towards the distant hospital gate.

"Forty thousand..." Li Huowang sighed as he walked towards the ward. After confirming that the jade pendant was really worth that much, many new ideas popped into his head.

What did it matter if it was a hallucination or reality? The things from that place could be worth so much money. He didn't care if it was a hallucination or not.

He had only taken a few steps when a familiar scream came from behind. Li Huowang turned around and saw a bald, thin old man pinning Yang Na to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Huowang's blood boiled with anger. Gnashing his teeth and looking ferocious, he rushed towards them. "Old Liu! That's my girlfriend. Let her go!!"

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a hexagonal floor tile flew over, tumbling through the air, and hit Li Huowang right on the head.

Everything started spinning. Li Huowang fell heavily to the ground. His vision gradually turned red as his head was bleeding.

In the red - tinted vision, Li Huowang saw a pair of bloated, big feet in a hospital gown walk past him and head towards the struggling and screaming Yang Na.

Hearing the heavy footsteps getting closer to Yang Na, Li Huowang's mind went blank, with only one thought left: He couldn't let them hurt Yang Na!!

He tremblingly took out a pill given by his master from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth along with his own flowing blood.

In an instant, an extremely hot and warm current welled up from his stomach and spread to his limbs. He instantly felt full of strength, and his drowsy head became extremely clear - headed.

"Bang!" He swung a punch and landed it hard on the fat man's double - chin. In an instant, the man's yellow teeth loosened and flew out. In no time, only a few were left.

Ignoring the fat man lying on the ground, Li Huowang covered in blood strode up to Old Liu and kicked him hard in the chest.

"Crunch, crunch." The sound of bones breaking kept ringing out. Old Liu, spitting blood, flew out like a limp noodle.

Looking at Yang Na on the ground, covering her torn sweater and with tears in her eyes, Li Huowang gritted his teeth so hard that his gums bled.

His blood - shot eyes stared fiercely at the two men lying on the ground beside him. He stomped hard on the concrete with one foot and pounced on them like a cheetah.

"Huowang!! Stop!! What are you doing!"
