Hearing a roar from outside, Lin Xiao gave Pei Donglai a look. Pei Donglai understood, and Lin Xiao quickly exited the security room.

The scene before him was startling. Yang Fan was lying on the ground with a dagger embedded in his abdomen, while a shaken Su Qingning stood nearby. Not far away, Shen Jingzhe had already subdued a burly man who had been trying to flee.

The security room was some distance from the bar, so no one else had noticed what happened. That was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

When she saw Lin Xiao, Su Qingning finally snapped back to her senses. The girl said in a panic, "Honey, quick, call an ambulance!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "No need, my dear. I know medicine. Let me take care of Manager Yang."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh internally. Just a beggar, and he dares to claim he knows medicine? And he thinks he can treat such a serious wound? Is he an idiot or something?

Su Qingning grew frantic. "Honey, Yang Fan is badly hurt! Stop causing trouble and call for help now!"

So, it seems my wife still hasn't reached the point of trusting me unconditionally, huh?

Su Qingning had no idea this was a ruse staged by Yang Fan, but Lin Xiao saw through it completely. This wasn't just a wild guess. After all, Yang Fan was a martial artist who had reached the Earth Level at the tender age of fourteen. Furthermore, when Lin Xiao had come out, he had glanced at the assailant subdued by Shen Jingzhe and saw he was merely a Profound Level martial artist. How could someone of that level possibly injure Yang Fan? With a top-tier expert like Shen Jingzhe present, the chances of him being harmed were even slimmer.

Yet, Yang Fan had been wounded, and the knife was still plunged into his abdomen. If he wasn't acting, Lin Xiao would twist off his own head and let him kick it like a ball.

Lin Xiao ignored Su Qingning and quickly summoned the Xuantian Needle, preparing to insert the silver needle into Yang Fan's wound.

But just then, Yang Fan suddenly spoke in a weak voice, "Captain Lin, we have no grudges between us. There's no need to try and murder me. Qing Ning, I'm begging you, please call an ambulance! Any later and it might be too late for me!"

The reek of manipulation was overwhelming. If Lin Xiao wasn't curious to see what other tricks he had up his sleeve, he would have already given him a couple of hard slaps across the face.

"Manager Yang, what are you saying? How could I possibly harm you? Rest assured, my medical skills are exceptional. I guarantee that once this needle goes in…"

Before he could finish, Su Qingning suddenly exploded with anger. "Enough, Lin Xiao! When will you stop spouting nonsense? Don't you realize he was stabbed in the abdomen? If a major artery was hit, not even the gods could save him! Forget it. I knew I couldn't count on you."

Yes, Su Qingning was furious. She was angry that Lin Xiao would pick such a time to boast. The situation was desperate, yet here he was, shamelessly grandstanding. Yang Fan was seriously injured. If something happened to him, it would be a major disaster.

Turning to Shen Jingzhe, Su Qingning said, "Jing Zhe, I left my phone in the office! You call for an ambulance, and tell them to hurry!"

Shen Jingzhe glanced at Lin Xiao, as if asking for his permission.

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly. He had thought his relationship with Su Qingning had progressed to a point of being incredibly close and sweet, that she would surely trust him. He never expected that even now, she still didn't believe him. Honestly, Lin Xiao felt a pang of disappointment.

Witnessing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Yang Fan's eyes. Just a stinking beggar, trying to compete with me? You're still too green! he thought triumphantly.

"Go ahead and call," Lin Xiao said to Shen Jingzhe.

Shen Jingzhe began to dial.

Su Qingning breathed a sigh of relief. But when she saw Yang Fan lying on the ground, seemingly at death's door, her heart, which had just settled, was in her throat once more.

"Yang Fan, hang in there! The ambulance will be here any second!" Su Qingning comforted him. At this point, other than offering words of comfort, she felt utterly helpless. She was truly anxious, wishing the ambulance would appear that very second.

Seeing Su Qingning so agitated, the old Lin Xiao would have certainly comforted her. But today, he was in a terrible mood. With a flick of his right hand, the Xuantian Needle shot into Yang Fan's wound.

In an instant, the wound that had been seeping blood stopped bleeding completely.

While no one was looking, Lin Xiao swiftly pulled the dagger from Yang Fan's abdomen. No more blood flowed out. Of course it wouldn't. Lin Xiao's medical skills were no joke. He remembered when his second master, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Medicine Sect, taught him medicine. He had said more than once that Lin Xiao was a once-in-a-millennium medical genius. With his superb skills, augmented by a divine tool like the Xuantian Needle, a simple knife wound was trivial.

Lin Xiao dared to treat Yang Fan not only because he was confident in his skills, but more importantly, because he knew this piece of trash was just acting; the injury wasn't serious at all. Of course, the absolute best way to treat such a wound was with his own blood, which had the power to bring the dead back to life. But a scumbag like Yang Fan was clearly unworthy of such a remedy.

Yang Fan immediately noticed that Lin Xiao had removed the dagger. "Captain Lin, what… what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?" he asked weakly, his voice tinged with feigned outrage.

Su Qingning was startled by his words and quickly looked at his wound. Sure enough, Lin Xiao had removed the dagger.

She was so angry she almost fainted. She wasn't a doctor, but she knew enough to understand that you never recklessly pull a blade out of a wound. If it damaged his internal organs, it would only cause a secondary, more severe injury.

Su Qingning was about to reprimand Lin Xiao for his rashness when she noticed a single silver needle inserted where the blade had been. Moreover, not a single drop of blood was flowing from the wound.

Could it be... Lin Xiao really knows medicine? The thought popped into her head, but she quickly dismissed it. How could that be possible? If he were really a skilled doctor, why would he have been a beggar?

Yang Fan saw that his words had captured Su Qingning's attention, but he was instantly displeased that she didn't continue scolding Lin Xiao or lose her temper.

Dammit! I put on this whole act for so long, and I even got myself injured for real. Is this all I get for it? Yang Fan was furious. He desperately tried to push Lin Xiao away, his instincts screaming that this stinking beggar was about to ruin his plans.

But the moment Yang Fan moved, Lin Xiao's hand shot out like lightning and clamped down on his vital pressure point.

A tremor went through Yang Fan's heart, and his face turned another shade paler.

In the next instant, he didn't dare to move.
