437: Chapter 437 The Heavenly Dao

Should Han Jingyang help?

Under normal circumstances, he would not get involved in such matters; even if he were to do something, he would only act alone.

However, Shen Yuhai had treated him impeccably from the very beginning. Even when people like Zhang Zhiyang kept their distance from him, Shen Yuhai's attitude toward him remained unchanged. Moreover, the unit Shen Yuhai worked for had provided him with a considerable amount of help during the previous few conflicts.

This favor had to be repaid.

Besides, the killer's targets were random young, beautiful women; even his sister could potentially become the next victim.

Therefore, he was determined to help with this matter.

He would prioritize finding the killer over doing anything else.

Thinking of this, he nodded at Shen Yuhai: "Old Shen, I will help with this."

"Oh, thank you so much! I'll go apply for a reward from the bureau chief right now..."

"No need."

"Huh? That won't do. We can't just make you work for free."

"For other things, I certainly wouldn't work for free, but for this matter, I won't charge."

"Alright, that's righteous of you. Then I won't keep you company; I'm going to the technical department to urge them and see if there are any findings."

Han Jingyang nodded: "You go ahead and get busy. I'll take them both back first."

"Stay safe."

"In the current Quancheng, no one dares to target me."

"That's true. Little brother, let's keep in touch and share any news promptly."

"Alright."

Leaving the building.

Getting into the car.

He hugged Zhu Yuanyuan, who was still lingering in fear, then turned to look at Sun Qian, who was equally shaken. He sighed, reached out, and gave Sun Qian a hug as well: "It's alright now. Go back to school and continue your classes; it's still very safe inside the school."

Both women nodded simultaneously.

But upon reaching the school gate, Sun Qian still asked in a low voice: "Han Jingyang, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about."

Han Jingyang waved his hand: "No need to say it. I know what you want to say, and my answer is no. I am not a professional doctor and do not have a medical license. If I fail to cure them, it will cause a lot of trouble, so you should just turn them down directly."

"But that little girl is so pitiful; she's only six years old and has ALS..."

"There are so many pitiful people in this world; how many can I save? Besides, I am just a Feng Shui Master, not a miracle doctor. I could save you because your symptoms happened to be within my capabilities—it was a metaphysics incident. But they all have actual illnesses—serious, legitimate illnesses—which are beyond my capabilities. Understand?"

"This..."

"Just tell them that," Han Jingyang said, pushing Sun Qian out of the car: "Besides, considering their status and background, let alone medical fees, they probably can't even afford travel expenses."

Zhu Yuanyuan didn't give Sun Qian another chance to speak either, pulling Sun Qian away as she still wanted to say something.

While dragging Sun Qian into the campus, she whispered: "Why don't you know the gravity of the situation? Something so major just happened, and you're pestering him with this kind of matter. Can he even handle everything?"

Sun Qian sighed: "But I already promised them."

"Are you crazy? You promised those patients before even asking for Han Jingyang's opinion?"

"It's mainly because that little girl is really too pitiful. It's not like you didn't see it; she's so beautiful, so sensible, and so kind. If no one saves her, she can only watch helplessly as her small body is slowly consumed by death..."

"You..."

Zhu Yuanyuan was also very helpless.

She was also a teacher and could understand that feeling. Sometimes, watching the students she mentored degenerate bit by bit was a heartbreaking pain that simply couldn't be described in words.

However, she had to exercise restraint. She could only do her job as much as possible. For things outside her professional duties, a gentle reminder was enough. Pushing too hard would not only be useless but could also create enemies.

Modern college students could be terrifying when they went crazy; they would either hurt others or themselves.

Therefore, she felt very strongly about the saying, "Do not easily interfere with others' fates."

But that didn't mean she was cold-hearted.

Thinking of the cute and sensible little girl in the hospital ward, she also felt very sad and wished that Han Jingyang could descend like a miracle doctor and cure the little girl's illness.

But she was even more aware that once Han Jingyang took action, whether he cured her or not, it would bring a lot of trouble.

So she was very conflicted.

However, she was even clearer on one point: it was best not to get involved in such matters; letting Han Jingyang handle it himself was the best way to deal with it.

But no matter what Han Jingyang did, she would stand 100% on his side.

Thinking of this, she said earnestly to Sun Qian: "I don't care about other things, but on this matter, I have to say that you handled it very poorly. You don't have the ability to save people yourself, yet you made a decision for Han Jingyang without asking for his opinion. If I were Han Jingyang, I would absolutely never say another word to you again."

Sun Qian knew she was in the wrong and quickly grabbed Zhu Yuanyuan's arm: "Good Yuanyuan, I know I was wrong. I—I really couldn't withstand the family's pleading at the time, but I didn't agree directly either. I just said I would help them ask. They even wanted Han Jingyang's contact information, but I refused directly."

"That's better. But don't get your hopes up. Han Jingyang may seem easygoing, but he is actually quite guarded. Except for his loved ones, others don't even get a single chance to make a mistake in front of him. As long as you do something that makes him feel uncomfortable, he will decisively cut ties with you. Often, you might not even realize where you offended him before you are alienated, understand?"

"He has this kind of personality?"

"Yes. If you ignore his powerful abilities and handsome appearance, he is actually just a sensitive and quite opinionated young man."

"Sigh, the way you put it, I find him even more charming. He's a bit like the male lead in 'The Way of Heaven'—when asked to pay double for wontons, he pays without a word and leaves, doesn't argue, and never comes back. The woman selling the wontons never knew until she died why she lost that customer."

"Pretty much. Anyway, Han Jingyang's mindset is truly extraordinary. He dared to borrow money to open an antique shop right after graduation; his intelligence, courage, decisiveness, and ability to take action were already top-tier among his peers. After he changed careers, his mindset became even more detached. So, you'd better put away your little tricks, or I'll have no choice but to break ties with you."

Sun Qian was shocked: "Yuanyuan, you can't be serious, right? Our eight-year friendship—four years of college and four years of work—is worth so little?"

Zhu Yuanyuan nodded calmly: "Han Jingyang is not an ordinary person, and I am just a very ordinary woman. Being able to know him is my luck, and being able to be his counselor for four years and maintain a good relationship with him is even more of an opportunity given to me by heaven to change my destiny. If I miss him, I will never meet such an outstanding man in my life again. Therefore, I will definitely hold on to him, and no one should think about tearing us apart."

"But, he has other women."

"So what? As long as he has the ability to support them, he can keep as many as he likes."

"You..."

"Is there a problem?"

"I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked."

"So if you do anything that makes Han Jingyang unhappy, I will truly stand on his side without reservation."

Sun Qian rolled her eyes: "What if—I'm just saying, what if—what if I also fall in love with him, what will you do?"
