"Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

Ye Yuwan held the bloodied Jiang Chen in her arms and burst into tears, wishing she was the one who was injured instead.

Ye Jingyi also shed tears, gripping Jiang Chen's hand tightly.

"I'm okay, as long as you're all fine!" Jiang Chen responded weakly with a faint smile, reassured that Ye Jingyi and the others were unharmed. Suddenly, darkness enveloped his vision, and he passed out.

Everyone panicked, hurriedly lifting Jiang Chen into the car and rushing to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ye Jingyi, Ye Yuwan, Sun Jialin, and Chen Xuefei stayed behind, while the others didn't bother to wait around and drove off.

In the hospital.

Jiang Chen lay on the hospital bed, lost in darkness.

Suddenly, it was as if he had returned to the dream, groggily arriving at a place.

This was a dense forest with tall trees all around, and in front of him stood a towering mountain.

"This place... Isn't it where I obtained the Cultivation Technique and medical skills?" Jiang Chen looked around in surprise, wandering about.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light burst forth from the mountainside ahead.

"What's that?" Jiang Chen was startled and pondered, "Could it be... something guiding me there? An ancient relic?!"

Jiang Chen was immensely shocked and began to walk towards the mountain.

...

"Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen!"

"Brother-in-law, you can't be in trouble!"

The calls seemed to be both close by and from a distant place.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and muttered under his breath, "Jingyi, Yuwan?"

The scenery before his eyes slowly dissipated, returning to darkness.

Jiang Chen frowned and reopened his eyes to see Ye Jingyi's guilty face and Ye Yuwan's concerned one.

Looking around, Jiang Chen realized he was in the hospital.

So what just happened... was another flash of a dream memory? That place...

"Jiang Chen, you're awake!" Ye Jingyi was overjoyed to see Jiang Chen open his eyes.

Ye Yuwan clasped Jiang Chen's hand tightly, exclaiming with joy, "Brother-in-law, you're finally awake, you scared us to death!"

"I'm fine." Jiang Chen said with a light chuckle, shaking his head.

"Brother-in-law, the doctor said you were quite seriously injured, but fortunately, your bones and organs were unharmed. You need to rest well!" Ye Yuwan gently reminded him.

Ye Jingyi gripped Jiang Chen's hand and said softly, "Right, you should rest well."

"Don't worry, I know my body. Don't forget, I also know medical skills. It's nothing serious!" Jiang Chen said with a gentle smile.

Ye Jingyi rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, "Don't try to comfort us. With your beginner-level medical skills, what can you even do?"

"Brother-in-law, don't be so stubborn. Just focus on healing," Ye Yuwan also urged.

Jiang Chen feeling helpless, knew he couldn't explain himself, so he just nodded in agreement.

"That's more like it!" Ye Yuwan said with a giggle.

Jiang Chen glared at Ye Yuwan.

Before they knew it, their hands had come together.

It took a while before they realized something was off. Both women quickly blushed and let go, giving Jiang Chen a simultaneous glare.

Jiang Chen sheepishly smiled, feeling a strange sensation inside.

The feelings among the three of them seemed to have reached an even higher level of evolution.

Just then, a knocking at the door was heard, and Sun Jialin, now changed into fresh clothes, walked in.

"Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Lin."

Ye Jingyi and Ye Yuwan both greeted Sun Jialin.

"Hmm," Sun Jialin nodded and handed a car key to Ye Jingyi, "I had someone bring your car over."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin," Ye Jingyi said with a light laugh as she took the car keys and expressed her gratitude.

Sun Jialin then turned his concerned gaze to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, are your injuries alright?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Chen shook his head and glanced behind Sun Jialin with curiosity, "Where's your wife? Is she feeling any better?"

"Oh, I had her undergo a check-up. The doctor suggested she stay in the hospital for a couple of days," Sun Jialin responded softly.

He had been away just now to arrange a hospital room with Chen Xuefei.

"Hmm, her illness indeed requires some good rest," Jiang Chen gently nodded.

Sun Jialin looked at Ye Jingyi and Ye Yuwan, opened his mouth as if to speak, then closed it again.

Ye Jingyi, sensing something off with Sun Jialin, assumed he wanted to thank Jiang Chen but was too embarrassed to do so in her and Ye Yuwan's presence. She picked up the water pitcher in the room, "I'm going to fetch some water."

Ye Yuwan also caught on and softly suggested, "Let's go together, and we can also check on Sister Xuefei."

"All right," Ye Jingyi nodded, and the two left the hospital room.

As the two women left, Sun Jialin closed the door and returned to the bedside with a guilty expression, "Jiang Chen, I need to tell you something. The investment plan that Sun Jiayu gave to Ye Tianming has problems; it's meant to trap the Ye Family!"

Jiang Chen nodded and said with a light chuckle, "Thank you, but I've already considered that. However, you need not warn the Ye Family; I hope they learn a lesson from this setback and remember it well!"

"Exactly! I agree, let that idiot Ye Tianming die!" Sun Jialin nodded emphatically.

Placing a hand on Jiang Chen's shoulder, Sun Jialin spoke earnestly, "Jiang Chen, from today on, you are my brother, Sun Jialin's brother. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Alright, then I won't be polite with you," Jiang Chen replied with a light laugh.

The two exchanged phone numbers, and Sun Jialin left the hospital room.

Meanwhile, while Sun Jialin and Jiang Chen were talking in the hospital, Ye Tianming ran off to a bar to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

He had been beat up by Sun Jialin earlier, and with Jiang Chen stealing the spotlight, his mood had soured.

"Tianming, why are you drinking alone?" A voice called out; Sun Jiayu came over and sat beside Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming quickly stood up to pour Sun Jiayu a drink, "Mr. Yu, what brings you here?"

"I noticed you seemed upset when we parted, so I came to check on you," Sun Jiayu said with a smile.

Ye Tianming's face showed gratefulness, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yu."

"Tianming, don't worry about today's incident. Getting frustrated over that loser Jiang Chen is not worth it. You have excellent work capacity, and we'll surely make a fortune together in the future!" Sun Jiayu patted Ye Tianming's shoulder.

Ye Tianming's eyes lit up as he replied with excitement, "Absolutely, absolutely!"

This was none other than the young master of the Sun Family! Even the Sun family's heir saw potential in me, my abilities are undoubtedly solid! Mr. Yu is right, there's no need to fuss over that loser Jiang Chen; he's nothing but someone to be trampled under my feet!

With a single remark from Sun Jiayu, Ye Tianming began to feel a little elated again.

After giving Ye Tianming a look, Sun Jiayu's mouth curled into a strange smile, while he put on a look of deep frustration and sighed heavily.

"Mr. Yu, what's the matter?" Ye Tianming asked with puzzlement.

Sun Jiayu sighed again, "We're partners now, and I won't hide it from you; there's something that's been bothering me! Especially seeing Jiang Chen gaining the limelight today, it annoyed me all the more."

Ye Tianming was taken aback, "What is it? It's related to Jiang Chen?"
