In an extremely high classed ward in Beijing's Tianhe Hospital, Huo Kun was lying on the bed as he painfully moaned with Ye Yifeng sitting beside him, wiping her tears. Occasionally, she would glance at Ye Ling and Ye Sheng to guess their thoughts.

"Aunty, you don't have to be so heartbroken. Su Tao has already been arrested, and we've already greeted the police, so no one will be able to set him free." Ye Sheng wore an enraged expression. Ever since he fell for Su Tao's trick at the banquet hosted by the Ni Family, he had been holding a grudge for that despicable fellow ever since.

Sitting by the bed, Ye Yifeng sobbed, "It wasn't easy for my son and I to depend on each over for so many years, and I never expected that we would be bullied by an outsider this time. I know that he has a background, but we're in a lawful society. Du Yu has already taken responsibility for the drug case, and it has nothing to do with my son's company. Why is that Su Tao is so fixed on us and even took such a ruthless action against my son?"

Lying on the bed, Huo Kun violently coughed as he weakly said, "Mom, I want water…"

Ye Yifeng immediately wiped her tears and took the kettle, which she noticed was empty, and sighed, "I'll go and get water. You wait for me!"

As Ye Ling and Ye Sheng exchanged a glance, they had compassion in their eyes. Although their aunt and cousin were extremely extravagant in life, blood was thicker than water. They had the blood of the Ye Family flowing in their blood, so the Ye Family couldn't just sit and watch.

As Huo Kun closed his eyes, the ward became silent. A few minutes later, Ye Yifeng returned with the kettle and poured a cup of water for Huo Kun before turning to Ye Ling and Ye Sheng. "Thank you for your visit. I will take care of the matters here, so the two of you can return first."

Taking out a bank card from her pocket, Ye Ling placed it on the bed. "This is a token from Ye Sheng and I for cousin's nourishment. As for Su Tao, leave him to us. We will definitely not let the culprit scot-free."

Nodding her head, Ye Yifeng continued to sob, "The evidence is undeniable, but I'm just afraid that the other party's backing is too powerful for justice to be executed."

"Our Ye Family isn't a pushover, either. Don't be worried about this matter; my dad will surely deal with it." Ye Sheng raged.

Looking at the two of them in gratitude, Ye Yifeng continued with her sobbing, "Thank you!"

As Ye Ling and Ye Sheng exchanged a glance, they understood each other's meaning. Ye Ling said, "Cousin needs rest now, so we'll take our leave."

After that, the two of them left the ward.

Walking by the hallway, Ye Sheng said, "Although aunt's character isn't good, she's still our relative. Now our cousin is in trouble, and we can't just sit and watch."

"For some reason, I feel that there's something fishy about this matter!" Ye Ling frowned.

"What's the problem?" Ye Sheng knew that his twin sister's intuition was extremely keen.

"Since when has aunty spoken to us in such a gentle tone before? Then again, I might be overthinking stuff. After all, our cousin has suffered such grave injuries, and it's normal for her to grieve." Ye Ling sighed.

Nodding his head, Ye Sheng replied, "Aunty has always had a bitchy character. Although there might be some percentage of acting for her to appear so feeble before us, she probably hopes that we can stand up for her."

"Su Tao is the key. Not only does he have a relationship with the Ni Family, he even has the Shui Family supporting him. Although our cousin has suffered grave injuries this time, there's no threat to his life. So there's nothing we can do about Su Tao. All we can do is lock him up for some time and let him suffer a little." Ye Ling wryly smiled.

"Our cousin is now bedridden, so we can't let Su Tao out before he's discharged." Ye Sheng gnashed his teeth.

"That's what we can do right now and get some money out of him." Ye Ling replied.

Ye Sheng roared, "We must make him bleed a little!"

After a brief pondering, Ye Ling instructed, "I feel that I should personally meet Su Tao!"

"I'll go along with you! I've wanted to beat him up!" Ye Sheng excitedly said.

Rolling her eyes, Ye Ling snapped, "Don't cause trouble! I'll meet him by myself."

In the ward, Ye Yifeng's expression suddenly turned grave and cold. Looking at her son's injuries, her heart was filled with rage. She was acting earlier when she appeared weak before her nephew and niece as this was the only way she could gain the Ye Family's compassion to deal with the person that injured Huo Kun.

"Son, don't worry. Your uncle definitely won't sit and watch us being bullied. Although your surname is Huo, you have half of the Ye Family's bloodline flowing within you." Ye Yifeng patiently comforted.

Huo Kun no longer seemed to be in that much pain as before. He tried his best to move his body and worriedly asked, "Mom, you can tell me the truth; are my legs crippled?"

As Ye Yifeng felt her nose turning sour, she tried her best to bear her tears and squeezed out a smile. "Don't worry about it. With how advanced medical science is, there's nothing that cannot be treated. Even in the worst scenario that your legs are amputated, you can still wear prosthetics!"

Huo Kun was initially asking it casually, but when he heard Ye Yifeng's tone, he immediately pursued, "Mom, don't scare me. Are my legs really crippled?"

"After the doctor's examination, your bones have suffered severe injuries, and the chances of a full recovery are low. You need to wear casts, and you have to be bedridden for at least three to four months. Even after you recover, you can't carry out any intense activity." Ye Yifeng patiently persuaded.

Hearing those words, Huo Kun's heart instantly turned cold. He never expected that the consequences would be so serious.

When the door was knocked, Ye Yifeng went to open the door and saw Wang Guofeng visiting. Squeezing out a smile, she said, "Guofeng, it must be tough for you to visit my son."

Shaking his head, Wang Guofeng lowered his voice, "Aunty, Huo Kun and I have grown up together, so I immediately rushed over upon hearing his injuries and wanted to see if I can help out."

"It's great that you're here. Although Tianhe Hospital's doctors have high standards, it's still lacking compared to your Wang Family. Take a look at him and see if he can recover sooner." Ye Yifeng instantly grew agitated.

Pointing at the young man beside him, Wang Guofeng explained, "I'm no longer treating any patients. This is my Junior Brother, and his skills aren't inferior to my own. I believe that he should be able to help out."

"I will do my best!" Ling Yu smiled in Ye Yifeng's direction.

Although Ye Yifeng felt that Ling Yu was too young and didn't seem reliable, she didn't say a word since he was someone that Wang Guofeng has recommended.

Walking over to Huo Kun, Ling Yu first examined the X-ray films and wore a grave expression.

After that, Ling Yu proceeded to pinch on Huo Kun's legs. Although the latter was wearing casts, Ling Yu still managed to examine his bones with his technique.

"How is it?" Wang Guofeng came over and asked.

"His injuries are extremely severe. Even if we use our sect's medicine, it's hard for him to recover entirely." Ling Yu frankly answered and continued, "Bones have a limited regeneration capability, but it's impossible to achieve the regrowth of limbs. His injuries are akin to his limbs being cut off."

Knitting his brows, Wang Guofeng did not expect that it would be so severe. He gave Huo Kun a complicated glance before whispering to Ling Yu, "Use the best medicine on him. As for his recovery, it will depend on his own fortune."

Nodding his head, Ling Yu replied, "Please be reassured, Senior Brother. I will do my best."

After that, Ling Yu proceeded to treat Huo Kun's injuries.

Standing to the side, Wang Guofeng felt complicated. He thought that Huo Kun was too unfortunate.

Initially, he wanted to use injuries to frame Su Tao into imprisonment so that the latter wouldn't be able to participate in the National Healer Selection's second phase.

However, he never expected that things would get so serious. Huo Kun's injuries were extremely severe, and even with the help of his talented Junior Brother, Huo Kun couldn't recover completely. If the latter knew about this, he would definitely feel regret with his intestines turning green.

Ling Yu was extremely proficient in his techniques, which he first cut open the casts and used needles to infuse the medicine into the bones before using planks to stabilise the injuries.

This way, there would be no need for nails. After all, there were repercussions from nails, such as ruptured blood vessels, rheumatism, and other conditions.

Actually, TCM wasn't at a disadvantage to western medicine in terms of orthopedics.

Bone setting, plank stabilisation, and bone treatments were all common for orthopedic physicians.

But in major hospitals, they would generally use surgery, such as using metal implants and nails to stabilise the bones as a replacement. That's also mainly due to the economic benefits that the surgery brings.

For traditional clamps, there's a wide range of materials that could be used, such as bamboo, wooden boards, and aluminum. The cheapest and most practical would be bamboo, as it could be adjusted to the patient's length. However, the benefits of traditional TCM methods wouldn't be able to bring sufficient profits for the hospital, not to mention that using the clamp technique had a high requirement on the technique. Thus, this was also the reason why most hospitals have abandoned it.

Standing to the side, Wang Guofeng grew even more confident for his Junior Brother's kills as he watched.

There's a high requirement during bone setting, which could easily reveal the physician's skill. It required high accuracy, strength, and control. It's something that could only be mastered with practice.

Furthermore, TCM emphasised on making diagnosis and treatment based on the overall analysis of the patient's condition. After all, the effect differs when the same procedure is used on different patients since it requires the accumulation of clinical experience.

Roughly half an hour later, Ling Yu was done with Huo Kun's injuries and he said, "Initially, you're required to undergo surgery for your legs, but it's no longer needed now. I will give you some medicinal paste, and you just have to remember to apply it every day. Roughly three months from now, you will be able to walk by yourself."

"Three months?" Huo Kun widened his eyes from shock.

"A hundred days are needed for bone and muscle injuries!" Ling Yu did not know what Huo Kun was feeling right now, so he treated the latter as an ordinary patient of his and gently said, "Nurturing the bone is the same as nurturing the health. If you want to be able to walk by yourself when you're old, then you have to follow my instructions."

"Then, can my legs still recover back to normal?" Huo Kun was feeling anxious as he asked. He was already terrified by Ye Yifeng's words earlier.

"No matter how magical medical skills are, there's no way they can restore something broken back to its original state. As long as you nurture your injuries, there won't be a problem for you to walk normally. However, you won't be able to do intense activities thereon." Ling Yu spoke the truth.

Hearing those words, Huo Kun's face turned pale. He had believed in Ling Yu's medical standards, since he had previously received treatment from the latter. Looking at Wang Guofeng with a complicated gaze, he heavily breathed out and replied in a depressed tone, "I understand!"
