Chapter 1: For the Sake of Saving a Life, Just Hold On

"You, you be gentle…"

"It's all to save a life, so just endure it…"

"Rascal."

……

Jiangcheng Suburbs, atop Langtou Mountain.

Inside a Mercedes off‑road vehicle, a heavy, ambiguous atmosphere pervaded.

Su Xueyan, who boasts the title of Jiangcheng's First Beauty CEO, was at this moment enduring the most awkward moment of her life.

She lay across the wide, plush seat, her face flushed intensely.

After going through all this, she could say she was in pain yet delighted.

Originally she had brought the driver up the mountain for research, but the car accidentally stalled.

When she got out to inspect, she was bitten by a poisonous snake that seemed to appear from nowhere.

At first it was just numbness, but within minutes her lower abdomen felt as if it held a block of ice.

Unfortunately, the signal on Langtou Mountain was terrible; the phone simply wouldn't connect.

With no other choice, she had the driver race down the mountain to seek help while she waited in place for rescue.

At that moment, a man emerged from who knows where.

He claimed that the snake venom had drawn out the cold poison inside her body, and that yin‑yang balance was required for treatment.

What happened afterward, Su Xueyan no longer remembered.

When she regained consciousness, the man had already gotten his hands on her!

It was, after all, strange.

Though awkward, the cold and numb sensations in her body slowly receded, replaced by an indescribable scorching heat.

She could feel the man's breath landing on the nape of her neck, scorching her and making her heart race, yet her body was oddly honest, gradually relaxing.

Moreover, the man insisted he was treating her, so Su Xueyan allowed him to continue healing her.

She couldn't tell how long had passed, but just as Su Xueyan was about to lose consciousness again, the man finally stopped, sat on the seat beside her, turned his back, and began tidying his clothes.

Su Xueyan quickly pulled her professional attire together, her face both flushed and pallid.

She inhaled deeply, took a thick stack of cash from her genuine‑leather bag, and with a slap, flung it onto the seat before the man.

"This is five hundred thousand, consider it your service fee."

Su Xueyan's voice returned to its usual calm, even tinged with a deliberately icy tone.

"Let today's incident be as if it never happened. Let's not meet again in the future."

Staring at the cash, Jiang Feng's mind went black with frustration.

Is this woman treating herself like a duck?

But this woman's spending is really hefty—she gave five hundred thousand in one go?

She looks like a rich lady.

Jiang Feng smiled faintly and said seriously, "Beauty, I don't need this money. What a pity—I already have a fiancée; otherwise I wouldn't mind taking you as my wife."

Those words made Su Xueyan almost laugh in anger.

She, the sole heir of the Su family in Jiangcheng, the beautiful CEO who controls the Su family's hundreds of billions, still needs a wild man who appeared from nowhere to be responsible?

If it weren't for the fact that she was truly rescued by this man, just his recent actions alone would have earned him a death without a burial place from the Su family!

He actually had the nerve to say he wouldn't mind marrying her?

How can there be such shameless men in this world?

"You'd better look after yourself first. If you dare speak of today's matter, the Su family won't let you go unpunished."

Jiang Feng watched Su Xueyan struggle to dress, then suddenly said in a serious tone.

"The cold poison in your body has only been partially cleared; you'll need another treatment in three days. Otherwise the next outbreak will be worse than this one. When that time comes, if you want to find me, go to the Ye Family in Jiangcheng; I'm Jiang Feng."

After speaking, Jiang Feng pushed open the car door, stepped out, slung his old cloth bag over his back without looking back, and walked down the mountain.

Since this woman doesn't want him to take responsibility, he'd better not delay his own affairs.

This descent is for him to fulfill his marriage contract with his fiancée Ye Xiaoyue.

It was a special instruction from his Master before ascension, saying this worldly trial must be completed.

Su Xueyan sat in the car, watching Jiang Feng's silhouette vanish around the bend of the mountain road, feeling a vague unease.

She picked up her phone to call her grandfather Su Ruiqing, and just as she lit the screen, a rumbling sound came from afar.

Looking up, a helicopter was flying toward her, soon landing on a nearby clearing.

The cabin door opened, and an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, with silver hair yet a spry spirit, jumped out first.

It was her grandfather Su Ruiqing, followed by an old man wearing Presbyopic Glasses and a dozen black‑suited bodyguards.

"Xue Yan! How are you?"

Su Ruiqing hurried over, saw Su Xueyan sitting in the car, her complexion still a bit pale, and quickly opened the car door.

"I received a distress call from Xiao Sun, saying you were bitten by a snake, which scared me enough to dispatch a helicopter bringing Divine Physician Sun right away."

The white‑coat elder who followed was Jiangnan's Number One Divine Doctor Sun Boyong.

Before Su Ruiqing could finish, he hurried to the side of the car,

"Miss Xue Yan, quickly extend your hand so I can take your pulse; the silver‑ring snake venom on Langtou Mountain is deadly and cannot be delayed."

Although Su Xueyan felt no abnormality, she still extended her hand upon hearing Sun Boyong's words.

Sun Boyong placed his finger on her wrist, his eyes slowly widened, then he switched to his other hand.

His brows furrowed, then relaxed, then furrowed again, his expression shifting constantly, occasionally murmuring a few lines, making Su Ruiqing's heart pound.

"Divine Physician Sun, how is it? Is Xue Yan alright?"

Su Ruiqing couldn't help asking.

The granddaughter is the Su Family's only heir; if anything happened to her, the Su Family would be ruined.

Sun Boyong looked up, stared at Su Ruiqing, and his voice trembled a little.

"Su Lao... Miracle! Miss Xue Yan's silver‑ring snake poison has been completely cleared, and even the Cold Poison that had plagued her for over ten years has been reduced by more than half! I was just worried she wouldn't make it, but now her pulse is so steady!"

"Really?"

Su Ruiqing, Excitement, grabbed Sun Boyong's arm.

"That Cold Poison was something even you couldn't handle; how could it suddenly disappear?"

Su Xueyan, when she was young, mistakenly entered Han Tan and contracted the Cold Poison disease.

Over the years, famous doctors at home and abroad have examined her all they could, to no avail; it can be considered the greatest burden in Su Ruiqing's heart.

"Who would have thought the Cold Poison would just vanish for no reason?"

Su Ruiqing's mood at this moment was both surprised and confused.

Sun Boyong's complexion changed slightly upon hearing that, and he leaned close to Su Ruiqing's ear, his voice pressed down low.

"Su Lao, please examine Miss Xue Yan's condition carefully; I'm afraid she has already been taken by someone."

"Who? Who dares to bully our family's Xue Yan!"

Su Ruiqing's Laughter, which hadn't even been expressed, instantly turned to raging anger.

But Sun Boyong's next words made Su Ruiqing's expression change immediately.

"Su Lao, Miss Su's body is broken in a good way. This Cold Poison is Pure Yin; for it to recede so quickly, it must have been harmonized with a Pure Yang man's yin‑yang. If that man can continue to give Miss Xue Yan a cure, she will no longer have to suffer the sin of Cold Poison invading her body!"

Su Ruiqing was first stunned, then suddenly burst into Laughter, slapping his thigh.

"That's great, what's broken body matter! As long as Xue Yan can be fine, not to mention a broken body, even marrying Xue Yan to him would be fine!"

Su Ruiqing looked up and laughed, pulling his granddaughter's hand with Excitement.

"Xue Yan, quickly tell grandpa, where is my good grandson‑in‑law?"

"He..."

Su Xueyan's cheeks flushed crimson, yet in her Brain the carefree handsome face floated.
