Chapter 1977: with translation of chapter title

Zheng Renyi walked out of the main gate of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

Hua Ying Ying was very embarrassed.

But she still had Zheng Lao Ban's clothes tied around her waist, and having just watched the middle-aged woman's eerie "performance" twice in a row, she was panicking badly.

After hesitating several times, she dared not walk on her own, fearing that if she turned her head she would bump into something unclean, so she steeled herself and got into Feng Xu Hui's car.

Well, this person—mountains and rivers will meet again.

An hour ago she was still gritting her teeth with hatred for Feng Xu Hui, but an hour later she had to sit in someone else's car.

The circumstances were stronger than the person, and Hua Ying Ying was also quite helpless.

She gave an embarrassed smile, unwilling to speak, and Hua Ying Ying carefully sized up the little girl beside her.

At a glance she was just the type of girl who had recently graduated and entered society, her face full of inexperience, not even knowing what had happened.

She herself could actually be defeated by such a person, and Hua Ying Ying was also speechless.

Although she knew the person who defeated her was not Feng Xu Hui, nor the girl beside her who seemed to be called Liu Xiao Jie, but rather that Zheng Lao Ban who was full of righteousness and could repel all evil.

But Hua Ying Ying still felt a bit stifled.

The middle-aged woman's eerie transformation just now, she had watched it twice, and even now recalling it still gave her goosebumps.

But Zheng Lao Ban could tell at a glance that it was an illness; that middle-aged woman was just putting on a supernatural act.

Even now, looking back, Hua Ying Ying still found it unbelievable.

Losing to someone like Zheng Lao Ban, she… truly had no strength to struggle, and Hua Ying Ying finally resigned herself.

Struggling is useless; the harder you struggle, the more miserable your eventual death.

Today's events strongly overturned Hua Ying Ying's worldview.

If we put it in a more fantastical way, has Zheng Lao Ban already attained the Dao?

I am merely an ordinary person, just an ordinary person.

Hua Ying Ying thought while her fingers unconsciously lightly touched Zheng Ren's jacket.

It seemed a bit warm.

……

In the other car, Su Yun said with a chuckle: "Yi Ren, were you scared?"

"Not bad." Xie Yiren said while driving, smiling: "Last time, in Hai Cheng, Miao Xiaohua's sister was really scared that time. But my Zheng Ren is formidable, so what do I have to fear?"

Upon hearing those four words "my Zheng Ren," Zheng Ren felt his heart bloom like a flower.

Su Yun gave a hehe laugh and then asked: "Boss, how did you discover it?"

"Discover what? The illness?"

"Yeah."

"In our Dong Bei, there used to be many such people, though most were just putting on a supernatural act to swindle the ignorant masses." Zheng Ren said, "After hearing Yi Ren's phone call, I figured someone like Hua Ying Ying, who travels all over, wouldn't fall for such a simple trick."

"Hmm, that is indeed a reason."

"Yi Ren mentioned yin-yang face, so I had my doubts. There are thirteen diagnostic methods for yin-yang face; after meeting and observing the situation, I immediately ruled out the others. To put it bluntly, it's not that difficult."

"Oh? Thirteen kinds? Boss, you didn't think it could be something else?" Su Yun asked with a smiling tone.

"No." Zheng Ren said honestly, "Science—this has been liberated for how many years; there aren't that many feudal superstitions."

"Consider you got lucky, tell me how you judged it."

"Let's talk about it at the restaurant; Hua Ying Ying has been scared enough already. Mainly it's for her to hear. You say if someone suddenly sees that situation, a woman would probably already be scared stiff. Explain it clearly, don't leave any psychological issues."

"You this…"

Su Yun had said half of it, then hastily swallowed the rest back into his stomach. Usually joking around is fine, but saying in front of Xie Yiren that the boss cherishes fragrance and jade—that's just not appropriate.

If the boss were to turn hostile, actually Su Yun would also be a bit afraid.

In that situation just now, even I felt a bit fearful, but the boss still gently treated the middle-aged woman's illness.

Damn, that's skill!

Not submitting to a master is a crime; Su Yun has a sense of that in his heart.

"My Zheng Ren is fine." Xie Yiren suddenly said, very firmly, without laughing.

Zheng Ren stared for a moment, his heart a little uneasy.

"I had seen Hua Ying Ying in a sorry state earlier and wondered what to do. Later I guessed you would give her your clothes, and indeed that's what happened when we met."

Xie Yiren said softly, her right hand touching Zheng Ren's hand.

Her little hand was no longer ice-cold as before; Zheng Ren turned his hand to grasp Xie Yiren's hand, his heart feeling calm and joyful.

Su Yun said disdainfully: "Don't feed us dog food, just drive properly; this young master still has life left to live."

Though he said that, Su Yun also felt deeply moved by Zheng Ren's good fortune.

As for today's incident, upon encountering a "pretentious" girlfriend, one's attention would immediately focus on why the clothes were given to such a flirtatious woman.

As for why, does it matter? Not at all!

But look at Xie Yiren…

This luck, it's really good, Su Yun thought to himself.

Chang Yue listened and felt a bit dazed; she asked about the situation, and when she heard that the middle-aged woman's face was half male, half female, and the voice was still male, her complexion also turned a little unsightly.

Just hearing the description was already quite frightening.

If one puts oneself in that situation, in the fire escape, with the dim little sensor light, occasional cold breezes blowing, the eerie face, and suddenly a man's voice appears.

Scared to death!

But thinking that Zheng Ren could explain it as an illness, Chang Yue had long been accustomed to this approach, so she wasn't as afraid.

Soon, they arrived at a hotel where Gao Shaojie had booked a private room.

When the people arrived and the dishes were ready, Gao Shaojie knew Zheng Lao Ban didn't care what he ate, so he made the decision himself, having already ordered the dishes, estimating the time to let the food be served directly.

Not wanting to waste time, Zheng Lao Ban seemed to value this even more, and Gao Shaojie was pondering it.

Sure enough, seeing that the dishes had already been served, Zheng Lao Ban was not at all unhappy; instead, he smiled broadly and casually pulled Xie Yiren's hand as he sat down.

"Zheng Lao Ban, please take the head seat, please take the head seat," Gao Shaojie said hurriedly.

"Old Gao, don't be so polite," Zheng Ren laughed, "just grab a bite to eat; there's no need for all this host-guest seating."

"Zheng Lao Ban, I didn't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered some specialty dishes. Their sweet and sour pork is quite authentic," Gao Shaojie said with a smile.

Sweet and sour pork isn't a grand dish, but in the hearts of Dong Bei people, it's the most substantial dish.

If you want to make it taste good, it's even more difficult.

Everyone took their seats, but only Hua Ying Ying felt somewhat embarrassed. She sat awkwardly on the chair, head lowered, her face red all the way to her neck.

"Manager Hua, I'll briefly talk about today's matter," Zheng Ren said.

"Today's matter? Is it about inviting the professor from the Intervention Department of Medical University to a meal?" That was the first thing Hua Ying Ying thought of.

She froze for a moment; Zheng Lao Ban seemed to be setting the pace to forcibly remove her from the Medical University Affiliated Hospital!

But there wasn't much she could say; they had done her a huge favor.

"Zheng Lao Ban, please speak; if there's something I can handle, I certainly won't refuse," Hua Ying Ying said, head lowered, speaking softly.

"Hehe, you've misunderstood," Zheng Ren chuckled, saying, "I want to talk about the middle-aged woman's condition just now."
