Watching Jiang Chen's retreating figure, Lin Bingrui let out a soft sigh.

He knew that Jiang Chen still held some resentment towards him for his lack of trust, and had made up his mind to get along well with Jiang Chen in the future.

Such a powerful figure, with such medical skills, was truly a formidable ally, one that couldn't easily be found!

Yes, the first thing to do when he got back was to transfer a billion yuan. Then, his daughter had never been very respectful towards Mr. Jiang, no, that had to change—he must teach her a good lesson and ensure she showed respect.

With that thought, he turned his head and looked towards Liang Zhengqi, who was lying on the ground, and suddenly, he smiled and slowly walked towards him.

...

The Lin Family villa.

Lin Zhiyan and Zhang Qiang were at home waiting for Lin Bingrui and Wu Feng to return, occasionally glancing at the door, clearly worried.

Whirr… Squeak!

A soft humming sound arose as a car drove into the courtyard of the Lin Family villa.

Lin Zhiyan's eyes lit up as she eagerly ran to the window. When she saw Lin Bingrui and Wu Feng getting out of the car, she felt relieved and looked hopefully towards the door.

The door opened, and Lin Bingrui and Wu Feng walked in.

"Dad, did you defeat that bastard Liang Zhengqi?" Lin Zhiyan gazed at Lin Bingrui full of hope. Even though she knew that their safe return already proved the outcome, she still wanted to hear the answer from Lin Bingrui himself.

Zhang Qiang glanced at Wu Feng and felt a sudden pang of anxiety; Wu Feng's face looked somewhat pale, with a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, shaking Zhang Qiang's confidence.

"We won! Really, it was incredible!" Lin Bingrui hadn't yet recovered from his shock, his face brimming with joy as he spoke.

Lin Zhiyan's face brightened with happiness, and she turned to look at Wu Feng with admiration in her eyes, "Brother Wu Feng is remarkable. Not like Jiang Chen, who only knows how to boast—with no real skills but still so full of himself!"

Zhang Qiang looked at Wu Feng doubtfully. Senior brother clearly seemed to have been seriously injured—had the victory been hard-won after an evenly matched struggle?

"Shut up!"

Lin Bingrui suddenly burst out in anger, glaring fiercely at Lin Zhiyan, "From now on, you are absolutely forbidden to speak ill of Mr. Jiang, or I will never forgive you!"

Lin Zhiyan was so scolded that she was stunned on the spot.

At that moment, Wu Feng also hastily gestured with his hands and said with utmost respect, "No, no, no, it wasn't me, it was Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang is truly a divine figure! His martial prowess is extraordinary, and his medical skills are outstanding, not to mention his research into cultivation techniques—it's reached a level of awe. He immediately pointed out the issues with our sect's cultivation technique; it was miraculous."

Lin Zhiyan stood there incredulous, staring at Wu Feng with disbelief in her eyes, "Was it Jiang Chen? Did Jiang Chen defeat Liang Zhengqi?"

"Yes, it was Mr. Jiang who defeated that man. Embarrassingly, I couldn't last twenty moves against him, while Mr. Jiang only used one punch—one punch to make Liang Zhengqi spit blood and directly crippled his martial power!

I checked, and Liang Zhengqi's channels for circulating Qi and blood were severed by Mr. Jiang's punch, leaving him unable to muster his Qi and blood force anymore. Such ability, such precise control, it's truly breathtaking!"

Wu Feng's face was filled with shame, which then turned into deep admiration.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyan and Zhang Qiang were dumbfounded, staring blankly at Wu Feng.

Before they left, Wu Feng had been adamant about teaching Jiang Chen a lesson for his arrogance.

But now, Wu Feng had completely changed.

Not only did he acknowledge Jiang Chen's strength, but he even admitted the flaws in their own cultivation technique, his eyes and tone filled with reverence!

From detractor to fan!

Both of them truly found it hard to believe.

Zhang Qiang also came to his senses and hurriedly spoke, "Senior brother, is there really a problem with our sect's cultivation technique?"

"There really is a problem; Mr. Jiang pointed it all out!" Wu Feng emphatically nodded and then his expression changed, "No, I must go back immediately and tell Master about this. Perhaps Master's injuries can be cured by Mr. Jiang!"

Having said this, Wu Feng turned and walked out of the Lin Family villa.

Zhang Qiang opened his mouth, then looked down at his leg, filled with regret. Why hadn't he believed Mr. Jiang at the beginning? If he had believed Mr. Jiang, perhaps he would have been able to stand up by now!

Lin Zhiyan had been utterly dumbfounded, standing there with a blank look in her eyes, recalling every moment since she had met Jiang Chen. Suddenly, she realized that she had never really seen through Jiang Chen, never truly understood him. Her continuous dislike for him had been entirely based on the impression from their first meeting.

So, it turned out that Jiang Chen was truly so powerful!

"Zhi Yan, remember this!"

Lin Bingrui looked at Lin Zhiyan with a serious expression, "From now on, you absolutely must not provoke Mr. Jiang again, do you hear me? Mr. Jiang's medical expertise is superior, and his martial prowess is extraordinary. Such a person must not be provoked, and you must show the utmost respect whenever you see Mr. Jiang. Do you understand?"

Lin Zhiyan dumbly nodded, her complexion turning complex and inscrutable, her heart full of shock and disbelief.

...

At Dingjing's First Hospital, in the VIP ward.

After leaving the nightclub, Jiang Chen had come over to Ye Jingyi's side.

Looking at Ye Jingyi as if she were in a deep sleep, Jiang Chen softly said, "Jingyi, my cultivation technique has advanced further. I'm going to perform the Asking Heaven Needle Technique on you now. I must awaken you!"

He took out the Silver Needle and operated his cultivation technique. A faint red glow traveled down his arm into the Silver Needle, causing it to exhibit a faint bloody gleam that was eerily striking.

Swish swish swish—

Blood shadows flew as Jiang Chen quickly employed the Asking Heaven Needle Technique.

It went smoothly!

This excited Jiang Chen greatly. Once the Asking Heaven Needle Technique was successfully performed, Ye Jingyi would surely be awakened.

Hm?!

However, just as he was halfway through the procedure, Jiang Chen grunted, his face paled, and he abruptly stopped the needling.

"How could this happen? Why?"

Looking at the needle in his hand, Jiang Chen's face was pale as he inwardly exclaimed in shock.

Just then, as he was performing the Asking Heaven Needle Technique, the power within his body rapidly drained away. Halfway through, he simply ran out of strength and could no longer continue needling.

Jiang Chen did not give up. He rested for an hour, recovered somewhat, and continued with the Asking Heaven Needle Technique.

But still, he was only able to perform half of it before he couldn't go on.

"Ah, it seems that it's still not possible. I still have to wait until my strength has advanced again. I can only wait," he inwardly sighed, touched Ye Jingyi's face with his hand, and walked out of the ward.

But what he didn't notice as he left was that when he touched Ye Jingyi's cheek, her little finger had already slightly moved.
