Chapter 116: Soldier King Calls for Backup
Nighttime.
In the Tang family estate, within a serene and elegant room, Old Tang leisurely sipped his tea. Suddenly, a knock on the door was accompanied by a voice asking, “Grandfather, are you asleep?”
Recognizing his granddaughter’s voice, Old Tang quickly put away his tea, lay on the bed, and feigned a sickly demeanor. “No, come in.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Bingyun pushed the door open and entered.
“Bing… Bingyun, I’m afraid I don’t have much time left. Before I die, I just want to see you married. Can you promise me that?” Old Tang spoke as if he were on his deathbed, expressing a final wish.
Tang Bingyun knew her grandfather was pretending, and she felt no emotional stirrings. However, she cooperated outwardly, saying, “I can get married, but I need to find a good match. I don’t want to marry just anyone.”
“Yan Guishan is… your best… match,” Old Tang said eagerly.
“Is that so?” Tang Bingyun smiled indifferently and showed her grandfather a video given by Wang Haoran. “This woman is Shen Kang’s wife. They’re married, and Yan Guishan is destroying their family. How can such a disgusting person be trusted for life?”
After watching the video, Old Tang felt some dissatisfaction with Yan Guishan but did not change his mind. He said, “It takes two to tango. That Mrs. Shen must be willing, too. You can’t blame Yan Guishan.”
“So, Grandfather, you’re saying Yan Guishan was forced?” Tang Bingyun sneered.
“Men, you know, sometimes just play around. Besides, he’s not married yet. Once he is, he won’t do such things,” Old Tang defended Yan Guishan.
Tang Bingyun was speechless. Her grandfather was still siding with Yan Guishan despite the situation. Fortunately, Wang Haoran had already warned her. Tang Bingyun had a second plan.
“Let’s put this aside for now. However, Yan Guishan’s behavior is so improper that he might have contracted some disease. If he wants me to consider the marriage, he needs to provide a detailed health report.”
“No problem, I’ll call him right away,” Old Tang said, picking up his phone to make a call.
…
In a hotel room.
“You’re strong and healthy, yet useless. Why are you even out here? Go die, you worthless thing!” A flamboyantly dressed woman grabbed her coat and bag, berated Yan Guishan, and stormed out in anger.
Yan Guishan looked as if he had lost everything. When he was with Mrs. Shen, he had hoped it was just fatigue affecting his performance. After adjusting his mood, he went to a bar to find a woman to test himself. The result was the same. He really had a problem!
Buzz, buzz. His phone vibrated. Yan Guishan wasn’t in the mood to answer, but seeing it was Old Tang calling, he reluctantly picked up.
“Guishan, great news! Go to the hospital for a detailed check-up. Once you have the report, show it to Bingyun. If there’s nothing wrong, she’ll consider the marriage,” Old Tang announced joyfully.
A check-up… Yan Guishan’s face darkened. He wasn’t normal at all now, so how could he provide a healthy report?
“I’ll go for a check-up soon,” Yan Guishan replied, trying to reassure Old Tang.
After ending the call with Old Tang, Yan Guishan hesitated before dialing an international number.
“Smith, I have a problem with my health and need your help. Can you come to Qingling City in Yan Country?”
“Oh my God, Wolf King, I’m so happy to hear from you! I heard you retired and thought I’d never see you again. Qingling City in Yan Country? I’ll bring my medical team over as soon as possible,” an English-speaking foreigner replied.
“Great, call me when you arrive in Qingling, and I’ll come to pick you up.”
After the call, Yan Guishan breathed a sigh of relief. Smith was a world-renowned doctor, and his medical team was top-notch. In the past, when Yan Guishan was injured during missions and near death, Smith and his team had saved him multiple times. With Smith’s help, he believed his condition would be cured, and he could then provide a detailed health report.
…
It was just past nine in the evening. The senior year students at Shuizhe High School were still in evening self-study. Wang Haoran had taken leave and was absent from the session. He went to the Grand Hotel, booked a room, and sent a message to Wen Jing, asking her not to return home and to meet him at their usual spot. Wen Jing happily agreed.
He then sent another message to Qin Yunhan, telling her he would visit her later. Time passed quietly. Fang Xuan and Wen Jing arrived almost simultaneously. They glanced at each other, both a bit confused. The situation was somewhat awkward.
However, Fang Xuan had spoken with Wang Haoran over the phone and was mentally prepared, so she was the first to react. “Hello,” Fang Xuan greeted, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
“Hello,” Wen Jing replied blankly, then looked at Wang Haoran with confusion. “Why is there an outsider?”
“She’s one of us,” Wang Haoran replied.
Wen Jing was momentarily stunned but quickly understood. She had no objections. She considered herself his little kitten, and a kitten’s role was to listen to its owner. Whatever the owner said was what she would do.
…
The next day.
The master of time management, Wang Haoran, woke up in the dorm room where Qin Yunhan stayed. After rushing around, he had slept for less than three hours, yet he was still full of energy. He couldn’t help but marvel at the miraculous effects of the Dragon and Tiger Great Supplement Pill. Spending 5000 villain points on it was truly a worthwhile investment.
Checking his panel attributes, he found that his villain points had accumulated to 4300. The increase was quite rapid. Earning rewards from the supporting female leads was much more interesting than dealing with the protagonist. Transitioning from martial arts to cultivation depended on these supporting female leads. Of course, if he encountered a protagonist, he would still deal with them accordingly.
“Today is the third day, so after this, we…” Qin Yunhan’s expression of happiness gradually turned into a sigh.
“This world is vast. Perhaps there’s a highly skilled doctor who can cure my condition,” Wang Haoran said, trying to reassure her.
He had planned this all along: to first win over Qin Yunhan and then, at the right moment, claim he was cured by a miracle doctor. By mentioning it now, when he eventually recovered, it wouldn’t seem so abrupt to Qin Yunhan.
Hearing this, hope rekindled on Qin Yunhan’s face. Wang Haoran observed her reactions and couldn’t help but think to himself. This spoiled young lady seemed to have developed a taste for it and was craving more.
