Chapter 368: No One Is Allowed to Touch Her

"I understand. From the very beginning, you wanted me to donate my heart to Li Hao, didn't you?" Ning Ruoxue's expression remained normal. She raised her head and stared at Lv Fang: "If my heart is given to him, what about me? What am I supposed to do?"

"You're a girl, after all," Lv Fang said with complete indifference. "I gave birth to you, and you've lived in this world for thirty years. That's not a short amount of time, so even if you die, it's worth it."

"But your brother is different. Your brother is a boy; he has to inherit the family property and carry on the family line. He still has many things to do, so nothing can happen to him."

"So you're using my life to trade for his?" Ning Ruoxue smiled, and as she smiled, tears fell down.

"Do you know? When I heard you were critically ill and only had half a year left, my heart ached. Even though you abandoned me and took away all my father's assets, I still felt terrible when I received that news."

"I thought about seeing you one last time. Even if you had committed grave wrongs in the past, I felt they were things of the past. When a person is about to be gone, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven."

"But what did I get in return? In your eyes, am I just a mobile human organ, ready to swap hearts and lungs for your son at any time?"

Ning Ruoxue sobbed uncontrollably: "I was born from your ten months of pregnancy. When you did this, did you feel even a shred of heartache?"

"I don't feel anything. After all, you didn't grow up by my side," Lv Fang said with an indifferent air. "Ruoxue, I have my own family now, and my own children, so don't try to use family affection to move me, because it's useless."

"The contract is signed by you now. It's in black and white; denying it is useless. This was all your own free will." Lv Fang took out the contract.

"You've been keeping an eye on me, haven't you?" Ning Ruoxue smiled.

"Actually, I haven't paid much attention. I just said it offhandedly to win your sympathy. Don't you dare take it seriously." Lv Fang wore a shameless expression.

"What a pity. If you had paid even a little attention to me, you would know that I am a gold-medal lawyer in Fengling. Do you think it's my style to sign a contract without even looking at it?" Ning Ruoxue wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.

She was no longer sad, because she had become desperate regarding her so-called family affection. From this moment on, she would never shed another tear for this so-called biological mother.

"So what if you're a lawyer? You signed it, and the contract is effective," Zhang Yuan sneered. "Besides, this counts as a donation, under conditions permitted by the state."

"Then you can take a look at your contract. Is my signature still on it?" Ning Ruoxue said calmly.

"The signature, isn't it all here?" Li Zhengye took out the contract and glanced at it. With just one look, he was shocked. He saw that the signature and thumbprint that were there just a moment ago had now vanished.

"What's going on? Why is the ink gone? Why is the signature gone too?" Li Zhengye was startled.

"She clearly signed it just now. What is happening?" Lv Fang was also shocked.

"She is a lawyer. To deal with certain unexpected situations, the pens and ink pads she prepares are specially made. They look no different from regular ones when writing, but after five minutes, both the thumbprint and the handwriting disappear without a trace, completely invisible," Chen Yu laughed.

"Ning Ruoxue, you're playing this trick on me?" Lv Fang was furious.

"Why can't I play this trick on you? I treated you as family, but what did you treat me as? A mobile human organ bank?"

Ning Ruoxue said coldly: "Lv Fang, thank you. Thank you for making me cut off the last bit of attachment I had for you. From now on, I will never trust you again."

"Good, very good. Guarding against your own biological mother—you truly are a lawyer by trade," Lv Fang said bitterly.

"No, she wasn't guarding against you at all; it was I who reminded her," Chen Yu laughed. "I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew you were faking it."

"There is nothing wrong with your body; in fact, you are in much better shape than your peers and you maintain your health well, so I gave Ruoxue a heads-up."

"You bastard, who are you? Why are you ruining our good plans?" Lv Fang raged.

"I am her only reliance in this world, her man. You dared to set your sights on her, which has crossed my bottom line. Before I lose my temper, get out of Fengling," Chen Yu said coldly. "Otherwise, none of you will be able to go back."

"Kid, do you really think there's no one in Fengling? Let me tell you, don't be a busybody. Even if she doesn't sign this contract, I will still have someone take her heart to treat my son," Li Zhengye roared.

"Your son's illness is congestive heart failure, already in the middle to late stages. If I'm not mistaken, he has been relying on medication to sustain himself for over a year, right? But his heart condition is getting worse and his heart function is declining, so even medication is useless now."

"Pardon my bluntness, but even if a suitable heart is matched, the success rate is less than fifty percent. Furthermore, although your son is only eighteen, he is excessive in his lust and lacks sufficient masculine True Qi, so there is an eighty percent chance he will die on the operating table," Chen Yu sneered.

"You're talking nonsense! Shut up! How dare you curse my son to die?" The couple trembled with rage.

"Actually, there's no need for you to be like this. His illness—I can cure it." Chen Yu looked sideways at the sickly-looking Li Hao.

"You can cure it? Who do you think you are? My son's illness has even been seen by the Head of the Imperial Hospital in Shengjing, Wu Baozhen, who specializes in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. He said..."

"What did he say? Did he say that a heart transplant only has a thirty percent chance of success, while conservative treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine has a sixty percent chance? It's not that Traditional Chinese Medicine has no way to treat it, but it requires 'Heavenly King Heart-Protecting Grass' as a medicinal guide, supplemented by Baoyuan Decoction to nourish the lungs, benefit the heart, and invigorate blood to remove stasis. It would take a year to cure, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"How do you know that?" Lv Fang and Li Zhengye were shocked. Wu Baozhen had indeed said exactly that.

"Did he also say that if you find his master, Luo Huichun, there is an eighty percent chance of success, and the treatment cycle would be cut in half?" Chen Yu sneered.

"Kid, I don't care who you are. Don't meddle in today's business. We will look into the Traditional Chinese Medicine, but we are taking her organs regardless," Li Zhengye roared. "Men!"

Following his deep shout, five or six thugs rushed in from outside. The couple had been stirring up trouble in Shengjing for so long that they naturally had some connections. This time, they were going to use a two-pronged approach, trying both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, all for the purpose of saving their son's life.

"Take her, but don't hurt the young lady," Lv Fang sneered. "She needs to stay alive and wait to donate her heart to my son."

Several people rushed up at once. Chen Yu swung a slap, knocking one down with a 'Pop!'. With a shake of his arms, True Qi suddenly formed. His strength as a Martial Ancestor made it impossible for these people to withstand him.

With a series of screams, the five or six thugs in the room were almost all knocked to the ground.

"Who are you? Does our family's business need you to manage it?" Lv Fang shrieked.

"My name is Chen Yu. Remember this name clearly, and look clearly: she, Ning Ruoxue, is the person I, Chen Yu, will protect for the rest of my life. Whoever dares to set their sights on her again, I will make you pay," Chen Yu kicked out, and 'Crack!', the floor beneath them split open.
