Chapter 65: Not Going Even If I Have Time

~9 min read 1,749 words

Cheng Qian's sudden actions left everyone present feeling deeply puzzled.

Sisters Cheng Kexin and Cheng Kexiang furrowed their brows, staring unblinkingly at the two whispering to each other.

Cheng Qian pulled Chen Che to the side, and after ensuring no one else could hear their conversation, she whispered in Chen Che's ear: "Divine Doctor Chen, do me a favor and don't cure my grandfather."

Chen Che was taken aback, looking at her with a meaningful gaze.

"It was my fault before; I had eyes but failed to recognize a superior. I apologize to you. But I believe you are a broad-minded person who certainly won't hold it against me."

Cheng Qian grabbed Chen Che's arm with both hands, her face full of fawning and ingratiation: "I want to beg you, don't cure my grandfather. It would be best to let him stay like this forever, unable to wake up."

"As long as you help, I am willing to repay you with everything I have. I will do whatever you ask."

Chen Che saw through her intentions and laughed nonchalantly: "To avoid eating prison food, you've actually managed to go this far."

"Circumstances forced me to."

Cheng Qian leaned against Chen Che and sowed discord: "Besides, don't you think it's too much of a waste of talent for someone like you to be a bodyguard for Cheng Kexiang?"

"As long as you help me succeed and protect our family, whatever those two sisters can give you, I can give too. What they can't give, I can also provide."

Cheng Qian's eyes were seductive, and her smile was alluring.

Watching her act of throwing herself at him, Chen Che sneered in his heart and thought to himself: "I thought you could come up with something. Aren't my two senior sisters much more fragrant than you?! Trying to pull this on me!"

Chen Che decided to deal her a fatal blow, so he said: "It seems that since the matter with the scorpion didn't succeed, Miss Cheng is feeling somewhat unsatisfied. However, I have always liked to help others; if you need it, I can certainly be of service, but I am not in a position to participate in the Cheng Family's domestic affairs."

Cheng Qian was suddenly shocked, raising her head in astonishment, staring unblinkingly at Chen Che as if she had seen a malevolent ghost.

She trembled all over as she backed away, stumbling and falling to the ground, her voice shaking: "It's you... you..."

Only then did she understand that the one plotting against her was not Cheng Kexin, or rather, not just Cheng Kexin.

This man she had never met before was the mastermind behind it all!

Cheng Qian felt a chill from her heels to her crown in an instant; at this moment, her heart was as dead as ash!

"To think there is still someone in the Cheng Family who doesn't want the Old Master to get better. Are you actually going to let me treat the illness or not?"

Chen Che gave a treacherous smile and said loudly on purpose.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Weijun was furious and roared: "Cheng Zhiyong, look at the good daughter you've raised!"

Cheng Zhiyong's face twisted; he knew that at this moment, there was no chance of victory left.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Cheng Zhiyong and his wife knelt down directly, and Cheng Song and Cheng Qian knelt down one after another.

"Second brother, for the sake of us being blood brothers, please spare me! I promise I will never fight you for the family property again!"

Cheng Zhiyong no longer asked for anything; he only wanted to live well.

"Second uncle, cousin Kexin, cousin Kexiang, I have done many things to wrong you in the past, please forgive us!"

Cheng Qian's attitude was humble and submissive, no longer possessing her previous arrogance and haughtiness: "I don't want to eat prison food, nor do I want to be kicked out of the Cheng Family. Please forgive me; I promise to stay quiet from now on and never cause you trouble again!"

"Cousin, no, cousin-sister, from now on you are my own sisters!"

Cheng Song slapped himself twice and begged for mercy: "I was a jerk before, not a human being. If you still don't feel relieved, you can hit me to vent your anger. Please, for the sake of us being family, let us go!"

"I beg you!"

"Please!"

The Cheng Zhiyong family lay on the ground, regretting their actions.

Chen Che returned to Cheng Honglin's bedside as if nothing had happened and inserted the Ghost Gate Needle into the Baihui Acupoint.

Cheng Weijun also stood guard to the side, completely ignoring the pleas of Cheng Zhiyong's family.

Xie Jinchen also leaned in, staring unblinkingly at Chen Che performing the acupuncture. The miraculous technique made his heart surge with excitement, and he immediately felt a sense of worship and reverence!

Li Qingyan picked a chair and sat down, resting her chin on one hand, gazing at Chen Che's focused appearance while treating the patient, her eyes full of amazement and joy.

Zhang Shouhang stood to the side, also ignoring Cheng Zhiyong's family; what he was curious about now was Chen Che.

Just the identity of being Li Qingyan's junior brother was worth befriending.

But there had been some unpleasantness in their words just now; how should he bridge the relationship later?

For a time, no one in the room paid any attention to the Cheng Zhiyong family kneeling on the floor.

This left them not only embarrassed but even more panicked. It was just like the torment of a criminal waiting for a verdict.

Cheng Kexin pondered for a moment, then called for people to drag the entire Cheng Zhiyong family out.

She knew very well that she absolutely could not be soft-hearted at a time like this. Moreover, it had to be resolved before Cheng Honglin woke up.

Otherwise, once Cheng Honglin softened his heart and let them go, all their efforts would be wasted.

Arriving at the main hall, Cheng Kexin looked coldly at the Cheng Zhiyong family, who still dared not stand up. Without wasting any more words, amidst their hysterical pleas and curses, she had them packed up and sent directly to the Public Security Bureau.

After returning to Cheng Honglin's bedroom, Chen Che's treatment was already nearing its end.

Driven by the Ghost Gate Needle, the True Qi forced the stagnant blood out through the nostrils, ears, and other orifices.

Three minutes later, Chen Che withdrew the needles, and Cheng Honglin woke up accordingly.

"Dad, you're finally awake!"

Cheng Weijun said with a face full of joy.

Cheng Honglin rubbed his temples and asked: "Where am I?"

"Dad, you are at home. It was Divine Doctor Chen who saved you!"

Cheng Weijun helped Cheng Honglin sit up and introduced Chen Che with great delight.

"Thank you, Divine Doctor Chen, for saving my life!"

Cheng Honglin faced Chen Che and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Holy crap, Ghost Gate Acupuncture!"

Xie Jinchen was so shocked he nearly jumped up, "Uncle-Master, you actually know the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles! You really are my true Uncle-Master, I must kowtow to you again!"

As he spoke, Xie Jinchen actually knelt down and kowtowed once more.

Li Qingyan spoke up at this moment with a face full of pride: "This skill of the Ghost Gate Divine Needles requires extremely high talent to learn. Even I have only learned ten needles. Moreover, following Master's passing, in the world today, only my Junior Brother knows the complete thirteen needles. Being able to witness it is a blessing you cultivated in your past lives!"

"Then I must have truly accumulated virtue in my past lives to have met Master and Uncle-Master. I am truly so happy, I... I will kowtow to you again!"

Xie Jinchen was excited beyond measure; as a medical fanatic, even if he knew he couldn't learn it himself, being able to witness the Ghost Gate Acupuncture was something he could brag about to everyone!

Zhang Shouhang was surprised; he did not understand Medicine, but he knew the weight Xie Jinchen held in the medical world.

If Xie Jinchen could be excited to the point of prostrating himself, then it was easy to imagine that this unique skill of Chen Che's was truly rare in this world.

"Mr. Chen, I am Zhang Shouhang. I have offended you much in the past, please forgive me!"

Zhang Shouhang took the initiative to apologize to Chen Che, his tone becoming incomparably respectful.

However.

Chen Che still kept in mind the main task for today—to ruin the engagement!

Therefore, he naturally would not give Zhang Shouhang a pleasant look!

"Young Master Zhang's eyes are set above the top; it is only normal that a nobody like me cannot catch your eye," Chen Che said.

Zhang Shouhang's expression changed, yet he still smiled: "I am ashamed. Mr. Chen is the true young talent. My Zhang Family has always been happy to befriend talents like Mr. Chen. I invite Mr. Chen and the Divine Doctor Li to please grace us with your presence!"

"No time, and I wouldn't go even if I had time."

Chen Che said without the slightest politeness.

Cheng Kexiang covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, silently giving Chen Che a thumbs up.

Cheng Kexin frowned; it was very obvious that Chen Che was targeting Zhang Shouhang.

While this made her feel warm inside, it also stirred a trace of worry; she did not want Chen Che to provoke Zhang Shouhang or the Zhang Family because of her.

Zhang Shouhang's expression was extremely ugly; he understood that capable people had tempers, but he was, after all, the young master of the number one family in Shanghai.

Chen Che's obviously targeted words made him feel very displeased!

You're just good at Medicine, what's so great about that!

In Shanghai, this is the Zhang Family's territory; if you dare to provoke me again, I will make sure you cannot leave Shanghai!

"Those who come are guests. Today, all you young talents gathering at my Cheng Family is my Cheng Family's honor, and we should treat you with hospitality!"

Cheng Weijun hurriedly eased the situation and ordered: "Kexin, Kexiang, you two settle the guests well so they can rest, and also tell the kitchen to add more dishes and food!"

"Yes."

Cheng Kexiang and Cheng Kexin responded and led Chen Che and the others away.
