"Baby, what do you think our relationship is now?"
"Lovers? Or ordinary friends?"
As Jiang Che drove, he relentlessly chipped away at Yu Wan'er's emotional defenses.
Every word he said made Yu Wan'er tremble all over. She could practically feel countless ants crawling across her body.
"Jiang Che!"
Yu Wan'er's voice was firm as she glanced sideways at Jiang Che.
"I don't know how I offended you before, but you've bullied me enough already, haven't you? How about you let me go? I promise I won't curse at you again."
You disgusting pervert, shameless bastard. Who's your lover? Keep dreaming.
Jiang Che chuckled softly. Heart Link truly was a godly skill.
"What? Is that little mouth of yours not tired yet? You can still keep yapping?"
Jiang Che's words made Yu Wan'er grit her teeth in anger. "Jiang Che, is your brain filled with nothing but dirty thoughts?"
And so, Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er bickered all the way to the slums.
Jiang Che saw Yu Weiwei again.
"Young Master Jiang, you're here again?"
Although uremia had tortured this woman until she was riddled with damage, there was always a faint smile on her face.
Yu Weiwei glanced at Yu Wan'er again, her expression dimming slightly.
She had a sharp eye and could naturally tell that Yu Wan'er was still untouched.
Yu Weiwei was deeply conflicted. On one hand, she feared Yu Wan'er would be bullied if she married into a wealthy family. On the other, she wanted to send her into one so she could enjoy a better life.
"Oh, Wan'er said you were going to the hospital for dialysis. I happened to be heading that way, so I can give you a ride."
Even Yu Wan'er was slightly stunned by Jiang Che's words.
What was this bastard up to? Would he really be kind enough to take my mother to the hospital?
Yu Weiwei smiled. "Then thank you, Young Master Jiang."
"Yu Weiwei! We're not taking his car. I'll call us a taxi," Yu Wan'er said, unwilling to have too much contact with Jiang Che.
She was afraid she would truly fall for him.
Yu Weiwei was far too clever. Yu Wan'er's little thoughts were completely transparent before her, making the corners of her lips rise slightly.
"Why not? This is Young Master Jiang's kind offer!"
Jiang Che did not look down on Yu Weiwei because she had been a prostitute in her youth. In his eyes... this woman was actually worthy of respect.
Every kind mother deserved respect.
"Heh... Yu Wan'er, you rode in my car when you came here too. Why are you being such a hypocrite?"
Jiang Che leaned close to Yu Wan'er's ear and spoke with a mischievous grin.
Sure enough, a single sentence left Little Loli speechless.
Meanwhile, at Hangzhou Central Hospital.
A large crowd had gathered.
A young man with an arrogant expression sat cross-legged at the hospital entrance.
A small stall was set up before him, with eight bold words written on the wooden sign:
Hereditary Imperial Physician, Cures All Illnesses!
Who else could this be but Lin Yu, the protagonist?
Yet this Son of Heaven's Mandate seemed to be doing rather poorly at the moment. His clothes were tattered, one of his shoes had a large hole in it, exposing his big toe.
He was unshaven, but even so, it could not conceal the overwhelming air of swagger he exuded.
Without a medical license, he actually dared to set up a stall in front of the city hospital?
This was no longer competing for business. This was a blatant slap in the face!
That was why so many people had gathered at the hospital entrance to watch. Some had even stepped forward to ask questions.
"Young man, can you really cure every illness?"
A hunched old man asked tentatively.
The corners of Lin Yu's lips rose. An old man?
He liked old men the most. An old man like this was either someone of high status himself, or his sons and daughters were powerful and influential figures. And even if neither was true... he surely had some beautiful granddaughter or something.
In any case, saving him definitely would not be a loss. With his medical skills... even if someone had terminal cancer, he could pull them back from King Yama's grasp.
That was what his master, who had taught him his divine physician skills, had personally told him.
"Of course. I'm the heir to the Ghost Physician! There isn't a person under heaven I can't save or an illness I can't cure!"
Lin Yu then looked up at the four large characters reading "City Hospital" and sneered.
"I'll treat the illnesses the hospital can't cure, and I'll save the people the hospital can't save! Helping all under heaven—that is my code as a physician!"
That immediately caused a huge uproar... He was practically showing off right in the hospital's face.
Perhaps influenced by the Protagonist's Aura, everyone in the hospital seemed to have lost their minds. They could only watch Lin Yu show off, at most arguing with him verbally.
Yet no one stopped Lin Yu from continuing to show off and save people.
"Damn, why's this guy so cocky? He can cure illnesses the hospital can't?"
"I don't think he's just bragging. After all, this is right outside a hospital."
"I don't believe it. Look at how Chinese medicine gets criticized these days. A few herbs can cure illnesses and save lives? Only a ghost would believe that!"
"Ghost Physician? Has he read too many novels?"
The passersby acting as the hype crew and the mockery crew took turns speaking, building up the atmosphere and making Lin Yu's smile widen.
Move aside! I'm about to start showing off!
"Old sir, your complexion is pale and weak. It seems that you're..."
Just as Lin Yu was getting into the swing of showing off—
Two men, one tall and one short, began discussing things within the crowd.
"Holy shit, Monkey! Young Master Jiang was right—this dumbass really came here to set up a stall? And he's actually practicing Chinese medicine?"
"What do we do? I feel like this Lin Yu might actually have some skills. Should we mess with him?"
"Isn't that obvious? Of course we should mess with him."
"Then let's hurry and call the police. Young Master Jiang said... this guy doesn't have a medical license. If we report him, we'll nail him for sure."
Liu Tie slapped Wang Zheng on the forehead. "Are you fucking stupid? Of course we wait a little longer. I already hired an actor. See that old man? I hired him!"
"What? That old man is an actor you hired?" Wang Zheng looked utterly confused.
"Of course. Did you think I was as stupid as you? Since this guy's practicing medicine illegally... we have to let him make a diagnosis first, then we'll deal with him!"
"Hehehe—"
Both of them laughed, their smiles gradually turning sinister.
At that moment, Lin Yu had already begun showing off.
After feeling the old man's pulse, Lin Yu's eyes instantly widened!
What kind of pulse was this?
Why was it so terrifying?
This pulse... he had never heard of it, never seen it!
Lin Yu believed that after studying Chinese medicine under his master for more than a decade, he had never encountered such a pulse!
Was this even a pulse a human being could have?
