Yang Fan certainly didn't dare to move. After all, a martial artist's vital channels were their most vulnerable point. In other words, if Lin Xiao were to channel the Profound Energy from his Dantian and strike Yang Fan's vital channels, his entire cultivation base would be crippled.

Without my cultivation, what kind of Vice Hall Master would I be?

Lin Xiao ignored the shock in Yang Fan's eyes and said calmly to Su Qingning, "Don't worry, Manager Yang is all right. If you don't believe me, just ask him."

Su Qingning was startled yet again. What surprised her wasn't that Yang Fan was unharmed, but Lin Xiao's medical skill. Yang Fan had been so severely injured, yet after Lin Xiao tinkered for just a moment, he was perfectly fine?

Just how heaven-defying are his medical skills? Su Qingning couldn't believe it. She truly couldn't.

Her gaze fell on Yang Fan, who forced a few wry laughs.

"That's right, President Su. I'm truly all right. Who would have thought your husband's medical skills could be so miraculous!"

Yang Fan had no real desire to cooperate with Lin Xiao, but his very life was in the man's hands. What if he cripples my cultivation? Fearing this, Yang Fan dared not act rashly.

Su Qingning's gaze immediately fell upon Lin Xiao, her expression complex. She thought back to how she had treated him just moments ago. Regret, guilt, self-reproach, and even a pang of heartache washed over her. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what.

Lin Xiao didn't look at her. He silently removed the Xuantian Needle.

Frankly, to completely heal Yang Fan's injuries would require at least another ten minutes of treatment. But this piece of trash was from the Ghost Medicine Sect. The fact that I didn't kill him on the spot was already a show of incredible leniency. Expecting me to fully heal him is a fool's dream. If this garbage hadn't pretended to save Su Qingning, I wouldn't have bothered treating him at all.

Lin Xiao said calmly, "You overpraise me, Manager Yang. Your injuries weren't that severe to begin with. Oh, by the way, if you're still worried, I suggest you go to the hospital for a thorough check-up."

"That's right, Yang Fan, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. That way, we can all rest easy," Su Qingning chimed in.

Yang Fan was suffering in silence. Of course I know my wound isn't fully healed. I definitely need to go to the hospital. But that damned beggar has already ruined my plan, so there's no point in going now. At least, not yet.

A new thought suddenly occurred to him—his three subordinates. Lin Xiao has probably already killed them. If I can get Su Qingning to see that scene, she'll surely have a breakdown. I could use that opportunity to send this damned beggar to prison. Then, wouldn't Su Qingning be mine to play with however I want?

At this thought, Yang Fan quickly said, "President Su, to be honest, I've dabbled in medicine myself, so I'm aware of my own condition. Captain Lin's skills are truly remarkable. I feel completely fine now!"

"You're really alright?" Su Qingning asked, still worried.

As Yang Fan's direct supervisor, especially since he was injured protecting her, Su Qingning felt it was both her duty and her obligation to show proper concern.

"I'm really fine, President Su. The priority right now is to deal with the situation with those three customers!"

This jogged Su Qingning's memory, and she quickly turned to Lin Xiao. "Lin Xiao, what is going on?"

She desperately wanted to apologize to him for her earlier attitude and her lack of trust. However, the customer issue was clearly more urgent. After all, the bar had just reopened today. If word got out that they were abusing customers, the business would be finished.

Lin Xiao realized he had underestimated this lowlife, Yang Fan. He's got one little scheme after another. But acting? Who can't do that? He feigned confusion as he looked between Su Qingning and Yang Fan.

"What are you talking about?"

Yang Fan pleaded earnestly, "Captain Lin, stop playing around. A security guard just reported to me that you had Pei Donglai take three customers to the security office and even beat them up. Please step aside so I can handle this before other customers find out."

"What? Manager Yang, what that guard told you is ridiculous. Why would I ever beat up a customer? Bring that guard here. We can confront him face to face!"

Just as Yang Fan was about to speak, the door to the security office was suddenly flung open, revealing Pei Donglai's face. Everyone instinctively glanced inside. The spacious security office was completely empty. Forget people, there wasn't even a single stray hair.

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan's heart sank. To be honest, I saw Pei Donglai drag my men into this office with my own eyes. That's why I was so confident in bringing Su Qingning here to make a scene. But the men? How did they just disappear?

Lin Xiao, however, smiled to himself. I knew Pei Donglai had his ways of dealing with bodies. That was why he had so brazenly denied everything. Pei Donglai certainly hadn't let him down.

Gazing at Yang Fan's foul expression, Lin Xiao deliberately asked, "Pei Donglai, Manager Yang said we brought three customers to the security office and beat them up. Do you know anything about this?"

Pei Donglai had heard everything that transpired outside, so he knew exactly what was happening. He understood that Lin Xiao was putting on a show and played along perfectly. "How is that possible? The Captain has always taught us to treat every single customer with the utmost respect. We'd politely show someone the way even if they just came in to use the restroom, let alone a paying customer. Beating up customers? Who would frame the Captain like that?"

Pei Donglai acted incredibly indignant, as if he had been genuinely wronged.

Lin Xiao gave him a silent thumbs-up.

Su Qingning's gaze fell on Yang Fan. "Manager Yang, who reported this to you? Get them over here. I want to question them myself!"

It was clear that Su Qingning was furious. How dare they frame my husband? This was something she could not tolerate.

Yang Fan said guiltily, "President Su, I'm sorry, I forgot who it was. I was in such a rush to find you when I heard the news. To be honest, I never really believed Captain Lin was that kind of person. How about this, Captain Lin? I apologize. What I did today was wrong. Please be the bigger person and forgive me."

This piece of trash really knows how to talk. With him phrasing it like that, I'd look petty if I made an issue of it.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Manager Yang, it's all for the good of the bar. I understand."

"Thank you for your understanding, Captain Lin. And thank you for saving my life!"

"Don't mention it. The bar is getting busy, so I need to get back on duty. I won't waste any more of your time."

"Understood. Then I will get back to work too!"

Lin Xiao nodded. Just as he was about to head out on patrol with Pei Donglai, Su Qingning suddenly spoke in a heavy tone, "Husband, come with me for a moment."
