Luo Yang knew exactly what the two stunning women wanted, and he knew Liu Youshui wasn't in the room. Still, he went inside without so much as a show of reluctance.
The door closed.
Jiang Yue appeared in the living room again, her face full of disgust. "Men are all pigs. I thought you were someone special, but you're no different from the rest."
She took a pack of slim Kuanzhai cigarettes from her pocket, lit one, and took a drag. Then she spoke toward the liquor cabinet. "Get a clear recording, and keep the evidence safe."
Inside the room.
The two stunning women had already pulled Luo Yang over to the bed.
"Relax, handsome. President Liu sent us to take care of you." The woman in the red slip ran a finger along Luo Yang's neck, then down to his chest.
Tiny bumps, almost invisible to the naked eye, rose wherever her finger touched Luo Yang's skin. His ancestral witch spirit body was simply too sensitive. Her index finger seemed to carry an electric current, triggering a response in his nerves and skin.
The woman in the black slip nestled straight into Luo Yang's arms, breathing warmly against his neck as she tried to push him onto the bed. "You know, you look just like a movie star. That guy... that guy... Xiao Can!"
As she said "Can," she gave him a sudden, hard shove. But instead of falling onto the bed as she had expected, Luo Yang stayed put, and the force bounced her back.
"You're so strong, handsome." Unwilling to give up, the woman in the black slip moved closer again.
The other woman, in the red slip, smiled at Luo Yang and reached one hand behind her back.
She was about to drop the disguise.
Luo Yang suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha!"
The two stunning women froze and exchanged a look.
Was this handsome guy an idiot?
Luo Yang stopped laughing, a trace of anger in his voice. "Mr. Liu, I came here in good faith to treat you, and you set a trap like this for me?"
Liu Youshui wasn't there, so there was no reply.
Luo Yang pointed at the woman in the red slip. "This girl looks mature because she's tall and has a slim face, but her skin doesn't lie. She's sixteen or seventeen at most. She's a minor."
Then he pointed at the woman in the black slip. "The same goes for this girl. She's even younger, only fifteen or sixteen."
Both women were stunned.
Just as Luo Yang had said, they were minors. But they were tall, had slim faces, and had developed early, so anyone would have taken them for adults around twenty. A little makeup made the disguise flawless. Yet this handsome guy had figured out their real ages from their skin. Wasn't that a bit too incredible?
Luo Yang snorted. "Mr. Liu, if I slept with them while you recorded the whole thing, and then you decided to remind me that we live in a society governed by law, wouldn't I be getting a raw deal? I came to treat you because I respected you as a man of standing. Now it seems I was wrong. Let's leave it at that. You can stay in your wheelchair, and we'll pretend we never met."
With that, he turned to leave.
The two underage girls stood there, still stunned and unsure what to do.
The door opened.
A wheelchair blocked the doorway.
Liu Youshui sat in it, with Jiang Yue standing behind him.
"Please move." Luo Yang made no effort to be polite.
The wheelchair stayed where it was.
Liu Youshui raised his hands and clapped. "Impressive! You truly are no ordinary man, Divine Doctor Luo."
Luo Yang remained unmoved. "Spare me that."
This time, Jiang Yue didn't react. She simply watched Luo Yang calmly.
Liu Youshui's kindly face was all smiles. "Divine Doctor Luo, you've misunderstood. Why would I set a trap to hurt you? One of my men found these girls. I didn't know their actual ages either. I only wanted you to enjoy yourself, nothing more."
Jiang Yue glanced at the two underage girls and snapped, "What are you standing around for? Get out!"
The two girls snapped out of their daze, grabbed their clothes, and hurried past Luo Yang without even stopping to put them on.
Luo Yang didn't wait for Liu Youshui to move aside. He turned sideways and walked past the wheelchair.
"Divine Doctor Luo, don't you want the video of Song Dongming?" Liu Youshui called.
Jiang Yue pushed the wheelchair after him.
"I came to ask you for a favor, and I wasn't asking you to do it for nothing. I was going to treat you in return. But after this stunt, how am I supposed to trust you? The Song Family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I only helped Miss Ye because I couldn't stand by and watch. To put it bluntly, what does Song Dongming's business have to do with me?" Luo Yang kept walking, crossing the living room toward the front door.
"Divine Doctor Luo, please wait." Liu Youshui was starting to panic.
Luo Yang ignored him and quickened his pace.
Suddenly, he heard a rush of air behind him and hesitated for a fraction of a second. In that instant, a slender figure leaped over his head, flipped through the air, and landed at the doorway, blocking his path.
It was Jiang Yue. Her agility was astonishing!
"I misjudged you. I didn't realize you were such an upright man, Divine Doctor Luo. What can I do to appease you?" Liu Youshui looked thoroughly sincere.
Only then did Luo Yang turn around. He didn't say what he wanted Liu Youshui to do; he simply looked at him.
"How about this? I'll give you this villa as an apology, Divine Doctor Luo," Liu Youshui said.
Luo Yang gave a casual nod. "All right. I accept your apology."
That was why he had followed the two underage girls into the room despite knowing Liu Youshui had set a trap for him.
I came to treat you, and you tried to set me up. How could I let you off without a proper show of sincerity?
Luo Yang didn't take Ye Zi's money because of Song Meiqi. He felt a bond with that little girl. But when it came to someone like Liu Youshui, there was no reason not to take his money.
Still, Luo Yang had never expected Liu Youshui to offer an entire villa right off the bat.
"You really are a man who doesn't sweat the small stuff, Divine Doctor Luo. When shall we begin?" Liu Youshui was afraid Luo Yang might change his mind.
"No hurry," Luo Yang said calmly. "Where's the video? I'd like to see it."
The corner of Liu Youshui's mouth twitched. He had thought giving Luo Yang a villa would make him respectful and afraid to offend his benefactor. Instead, Luo Yang was as ill-tempered as ever, showing no regard for his standing.
Despite his displeasure, a smile returned to Liu Youshui's face a moment later. "No problem. It's on this flash drive. Take it. You don't need to return it."
He took a flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Luo Yang.
Apparently anticipating that Luo Yang would want to "inspect the goods," Liu Youshui had prepared a Type-C flash drive that could plug straight into a phone. But Luo Yang simply took it and slipped it into his trouser pocket, showing no intention of watching anything.
"Aren't you going to take a look, Divine Doctor Luo?" Liu Youshui asked, a little surprised.
Luo Yang smiled. "Even if it's just Pleasant Goat on there, I'll accept it. I'll treat you now, Mr. Liu. Please lie facedown on the sofa."
Jiang Yue pushed the wheelchair beside the sofa, then helped Liu Youshui onto it. Once he was lying facedown, she pulled his clothes up to expose his lower back.
Luo Yang approached the sofa and took out the small box he had prepared earlier.
Jiang Yue leaned over to look at the box in Luo Yang's hand. Seeing only a tiny amount of white ointment inside, she frowned. "You only brought that little bit of medicine for a house call?"
"This ointment is precious," Luo Yang said. "I used almost all of it on Song Meiqi. This is all that's left."
Liu Youshui's expression darkened too.
He had always believed that Luo Yang's ability to heal Song Meiqi's legs came from this miraculous ointment. He had even been planning to ask Luo Yang for some extra, never expecting him to bring so little.
Seeing what they were thinking, Luo Yang smiled. "This medicine would be useless in your hands, so don't even think about it."
"It's not some divine elixir," Jiang Yue said. "Why would it be useless in our hands?"
Luo Yang glanced at her. "If I gave you a keyboard, could you write a program?"
Jiang Yue: "..."
She suddenly felt that heaven had sent Luo Yang down specifically to infuriate her. Every time they exchanged so much as a few words, he drove her mad.
Luo Yang scraped all the ointment out of the small box and spread it evenly over Liu Youshui's lumbar spine. Then he employed the Primordial Medical Finger to repair Liu Youshui's peripheral nerves.
Jiang Yue stared at Luo Yang's two fingers, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Stand farther away. Don't distract me." Luo Yang was blunt.
Jiang Yue's lips moved, but before she could say anything, Liu Youshui spoke. "Go get the title deed for this house, and have the lawyer draft a transfer agreement while you're at it."
Jiang Yue shot Luo Yang a fierce glare and stormed off.
"She's the daughter of a brother of mine from Myanmar. Her father died young, when she was only eight. I found it hard to discipline her, so she's a little bad-tempered. Please don't take offense, Divine Doctor Luo," Liu Youshui said.
"I won't."
"Divine Doctor Luo, when will I be able to get rid of the wheelchair?" Liu Youshui asked. That was what he had really wanted to say.
"After this treatment, your legs should be able to make some simple movements," Luo Yang said. "I'll treat you again in a week. After that, you'll be able to take a few basic steps."
"That's wonderful! You truly are a miracle doctor," Liu Youshui said excitedly. "But do we have to wait a whole week?"
"That's already the fastest possible. Even a minor operation at a hospital can require a few days of inpatient recovery. You mustn't rush this. In a week, even if you can just about walk, don't be in a hurry to throw away the wheelchair. Your peripheral nerves are very fragile and will need time to recover," Luo Yang instructed.
Liu Youshui obediently nodded. "I'll remember that."
Fifteen minutes passed.
Luo Yang finished the treatment and helped Liu Youshui sit up on the sofa. Then he said, "Mr. Liu, try lifting your leg."
Liu Youshui took a deep breath and tried to raise his right leg. The moment his brain issued the command, his nerves responded, and his right leg rose smoothly, even more easily than he had imagined!
"Hahaha! I can lift my leg! You really are a miracle doctor!" Liu Youshui couldn't praise him enough.
Jiang Yue happened to walk in just then. Seeing Liu Youshui holding up one leg and laughing like a child, she froze for a moment before running over. "Godfather, your leg is better!" she exclaimed excitedly.
The father and daughter, unrelated by blood, embraced.
"What documents do I need to prepare for the property transfer?" Luo Yang suddenly asked.
The laughter stopped.
Jiang Yue and Liu Youshui both turned to stare at Luo Yang's face.
Did you have to be so mercenary?
Before you continue
