19: Is Quan Yang truly a man with all five poisons?

Inside the floor-to-ceiling window of the pet shop, two women could be seen wrestling with each other.

Hmm... The scene was chaotic.

The two of them were silent for a moment.

Bing Lan pursed her lips and asked, "Was that long-haired woman just now the nurse from the hospital?"

Ye Chen restarted the car.

"Yeah, Hu Jing, my ex-wife."

Bing Lan withdrew her gaze and commented, "Your ex-wife... is quite fierce."

Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't respond.

He couldn't exactly tell Bing Lan that Hu Jing's abnormal ferocity was mostly due to himself. Not long ago, he had frequently used his clairvoyant secret technique, which disrupted the yin-yang balance, and the side effects had been transferred to her, making her become so...

Hmm.

Famished and insatiable, right?

This matter was impossible to explain.

Fortunately, she hadn't laid a hand on the pets...

Seeing his silence, Bing Lan didn't press further, but instead smiled charmingly, "But congratulations on your liberation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled.

"Yeah, it feels good to be unburdened."

"Come to think of it, I have to thank her."

Bing Lan looked curious: "Why?"

"If it weren't for her, I might not have encountered these subsequent events, and even less able to..."

Ye Chen shrugged, "A monthly income of one hundred thousand, with performance bonuses calculated separately."

Bing Lan heard this and raised an eyebrow.

"According to you, shouldn't I thank her too?"

"If she hadn't let go, where would I find a driver who understands medicine, knows how to read feng shui, and can appraise treasures?"

Ye Chen remained expressionless: "If Miss Bing really feels bad about it, you could consider giving me a 'special allowance'."

"For example?" Bing Lan asked, following his lead.

"For example..." Ye Chen drew out the tail of his sentence, turned his head to look at her, "Miss Bing was once a goddess in the cosplay world, why not wear a purple gauze succubus outfit next time?"

Bing Lan was stunned.

She remembered her best friend asking her yesterday what kind of cosplay outfit would best stir the heart of a young man.

She thought Jin Meiting wanted to flirt with Zheng Hu and was intentionally talking about young men, so she recommended that set.

She didn't expect Ye Chen to actually name the same one...

Her cheeks instantly turned crimson, and she reached out to punch him: "In your dreams! Focus on your driving!"

Ye Chen chuckled softly and said no more.

But he knew that Bing Lan wasn't angry.

The car soon drove into the underground parking garage of Shuyue Group.

As soon as the car door opened, Li Qin and the Secretary-General came up to meet them.

"Sister Bing Lan! You're finally back!"

Li Qin's eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "Where is the imperial green? Did you really open it? Let me see it quickly!"

She was overjoyed!

The group's newly expanded luxury goods line was in desperate need of a top-tier piece to anchor the collection. Ordinary jade couldn't handle such a responsibility; only top-tier material could open up the high-end market...

Therefore, Bing Lan had gone out in person today just to find a piece of jadeite that could establish the brand's tone.

And when she called earlier, Bing Lan had actually said they had obtained a glass-species imperial green!

If that was true, whether it was for crafting top-tier jewelry or serving as a brand symbol, it couldn't be more perfect!

This was simply help in a time of need!

Bing Lan took the documents handed over by the Secretary-General and gestured with her chin toward the trunk: "It's inside. Qin Qin, you and Ye Chen handle it. I'm going to a meeting first."

"Leave it to me!" Li Qin quickly responded.

Watching Bing Lan and the Secretary-General walk toward the private elevator, Li Qin immediately pulled Ye Chen to the back of the car.

The trunk opened, and the imperial green lay in a box.

Even in the dim light, that touch of emerald was still captivating.

"Oh my god... It really is imperial green! And it's so big!"

Li Qin was so excited she almost jumped up.

"Younger Male Cousin! You are too awesome! You were actually able to unearth such a top-quality piece!"

"Now our jewelry line finally has a treasure that can anchor the show!"

Ye Chen smiled: "Just good luck. Mainly, Miss Bing has the courage and dared to trust me."

"Cut it out!" Li Qin rolled her eyes at him, "Your luck is just too heaven-defying. From now on, I have to follow you wherever you go. You can't leave me out when picking up bargains!"

Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Qin then carefully lifted the box: "Let's see how arrogant Yuezi is now! Come on, let's get this to the vault quickly!"

While urging him, she turned back and winked at Ye Chen, "My treat tonight! Must properly reward our great hero!"

Ye Chen instantly felt a headache.

Go to dinner with Li Qin? This girl was eccentric, a total little demon. Being alone with her, who knows what kind of trouble she might stir up.

"Sister Qin, I appreciate your kindness." He decisively declined, "But I really need to go back. I have things to do at home..."

Before he finished, Li Qin's little face fell, and she glared at him.

"Younger Male Cousin, that's not fun!"

"I'm sincerely inviting you, and you're making excuses. Do you look down on me?"

Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't mean it like that..."

"I don't care!" Li Qin interrupted him again. Her eyes turned red instantly—her acting skills rivaled an A-list actress's—"If you don't go today, you're looking down on me, thinking I'm not worthy of eating with a great hero like you!"

Ye Chen was helpless.

This isn't an invitation to dinner? It's clearly a kidnapping...

He rubbed his temples: "Fine, fine, fine. I'll go. Can I go now?"

"That's more like it!" Li Qin's expression cleared instantly, and she smiled like a cat that had stolen some cream, "Let's go, Younger Male Cousin. Once Sister gets the treasure settled, I'll take you to eat something good!"

Ye Chen resignedly locked the car and followed the elated Li Qin toward the elevator.

This meal, he feared, wouldn't be easy to digest...

...

First People's Hospital.

Lin Jianren had already woken up and was sitting on the sofa in the VIP ward, his face extremely gloomy.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

That priceless piece of imperial green should have been his!

That brat who made him make a fool of himself in public deserved to die even more!

And those two old things who slept with his entire dance troupe for nothing—they were useless at the critical moment. After taking him to the hospital, they actually just ran away... They deserved to die, too!

Suddenly, the ward door was gently pushed open.

A woman wearing a tight hip-hugging dress with a hot figure poked her head in. It was none other than Hao Shuang, a washed-up star who had almost disappeared from the public eye in recent years!

Although her glory days were over, she still had charm, and those curves were still enough to easily ignite a man's desire.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong?" Hao Shuang swayed her waist as she approached and asked coquettishly, "Who made you so angry?"

Lin Jianren lifted his eyes and snorted angrily: "I'm very fired up right now."

"Don't be angry~" Hao Shuang knelt by the bed, her hand reaching toward his belt, "Let me help you cool off..."

"Bang!" The ward door was kicked open, and a Bodyguard scrambled in, rolling and crawling. He was clutching a report in his hand.

"Bo-Boss! The results of your medical report... are out!"

Hao Shuang's movements paused.

Lin Jianren was in a fit of rage and grabbed a water cup to throw at him.

"What are you panicking about! I'm not sick!"

"Tell me the results! After that, prepare the car to go to the group immediately!"

"I must kill that brat today!"

The Bodyguard dodged the cup, looking devastated: "Boss, the results... the results..."

"Are you f***ing stuttering?" Lin Jianren roared, "Speak!"

The Bodyguard closed his eyes and went for it: "HIV positive!"

Hao Shuang: "???" Lin Jianren: "???"

The Bodyguard's voice trembled: "Syphilis positive!"

Hao Shuang: "???" Lin Jianren: "???"

The Bodyguard's hands shook even more violently: "Gonorrhea positive!"

Hao Shuang: "???" Lin Jianren: "???"

The Bodyguard started crying: "Condyloma acuminatum test... is also positive!"

Hao Shuang: "???" Lin Jianren: "???"

They never expected that there would actually be problems!

And... they were all f***ing STDs!

"Ah!" Hao Shuang screamed, retracting her hand as if electrocuted, and then slumped to the floor, falling into a state of panic...

How could she not be terrified?

If Lin Jianren had contracted so many diseases, then she wouldn't be able to escape, and the entire dance troupe wouldn't be able to escape either...

Lin Jianren suddenly sprang up and grabbed the Bodyguard by the collar: "What about the other one? What about herpes? Speak!!!"

"It, it's also positive, Boss..." The Bodyguard was choked to the point of suffocation, "These were comprehensive tests done while investigating the cause of your coma. You really... are afflicted with all five poisons!"

Snatching the report to look, Lin Jianren was struck as if by lightning and slumped back into the sofa. Truly afflicted with all five poisons!

What that brat said was actually word for word accurate!

Fear instantly enveloped him, but immediately after, a thought emerged like a straw to cling to for survival... If that brat could see through it at a glance, he must have a way to cure it!

He shoved the Bodyguard away and roared hoarsely: "Call everyone! Go and bring that young man here to me! He must cure me! Go now!!!"
