In the interrogation room.

“Name?”

“Xiao Yifeng.”

“Gender?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Gender?!!!”

“Female.”

Bang!

“Please cooperate with my work, or don’t blame me for being rude!” Ling Duanya slammed the table.

“Beauty, getting angry isn’t good for your health.”

“That’s none of your business. Just answer my questions,” Ling Duanya said coldly.

“Alright, but let your colleague leave. I only want you to interrogate me alone.”

Ling Duanya, confident in her abilities, wasn’t afraid of Xiao Yifeng and agreed to his request, letting her colleague leave.

“Now it’s just you and me. Can you cooperate with my work now?” Ling Duanya picked up a pen to continue the questioning.

“Gender?”

“You’re sick!” Xiao Yifeng said seriously.

Bang!

Another table slam echoed.

“Don’t be ungrateful, or else don’t blame me for being rude!” Ling Duanya’s temper flared.

“I’m serious, you really are sick,” Xiao Yifeng said solemnly. “Your right knee is seriously injured. It might seem fine most of the time, but when it hurts, it’s excruciatingly painful.”

After speaking, Xiao Yifeng waited for Ling Duanya to show a shocked expression. However, to his surprise, she only showed a slight surprise, far from shock. This puzzled Xiao Yifeng.

“If you don’t treat it in time, you’ll need an amputation within six months to save your life,” Xiao Yifeng exaggerated, trying to scare Ling Duanya.

“Oh, so what?” Ling Duanya asked calmly.

“I can treat you. In less than half a month, you’ll be cured!” Xiao Yifeng said confidently.

“And how would you treat it?” Ling Duanya sneered.

“No need for medication, just acupuncture and massage,” Xiao Yifeng said, swallowing nervously.

“Can acupuncture alone work?” Ling Duanya asked casually.

“Acupuncture alone can’t completely cure it,” Xiao Yifeng lied. In truth, his medical skills were enough to cure it with just acupuncture, but he wanted to add massage to the treatment.

“Can massage alone work?” Ling Duanya’s expression showed deep disgust.

“So you’re afraid of acupuncture. Massage alone can work, but it takes longer, over two months,” Xiao Yifeng answered earnestly.

“Heh…” Ling Duanya sneered.

Bang!

Another table slam, leaving a faint handprint on the metal surface.

Xiao Yifeng was startled and confused. He couldn’t understand why Ling Duanya was so angry. Although massage might be uncomfortable, it was a small price compared to spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Why wouldn’t she agree?

Elsewhere, Wang Haoran received a system notification.

[Ding, the host’s manipulation caused the protagonist Xiao Yifeng to fail in impressing the heroine Ling Duanya with his medical skills, earning 200 villain points!]

…

“You, young man, your mind is full of dirty thoughts!” Ling Duanya said disdainfully, handcuffing Xiao Yifeng.

“It’s your own fault for not cooperating with the investigation. I’ll detain you for 47 hours and question you again after four hours.”

With that, Ling Duanya set the air conditioning to the lowest temperature and left the interrogation room, closing the door tightly.

“Hey, beauty, wait! I’m serious, you’re sick! Why don’t you believe me? Hey, come back!”

Xiao Yifeng shouted, but there was no response. Looking at the handcuffs and the closed interrogation room, a sense of frustration rose within him.

The security here was tight, but if he really wanted to escape, no one could stop him. However, remembering Qin Kai’s warning, he forced himself to endure.

Time passed, and the temperature in the interrogation room dropped significantly.

“Brr…”

The air conditioning was too cold, and Xiao Yifeng shivered. He had to use his internal energy to speed up his blood circulation to fend off the cold.

“Damn it, my internal energy can only last 20 hours. That woman is so pretty, yet so cruel. Is she trying to freeze me to death?”

Estimating his internal energy consumption, Xiao Yifeng cursed, blaming Ling Duanya. He didn’t realize his own mistake. He tried to take advantage of Ling Duanya under the guise of treatment. Ling Duanya was already restrained for not slapping him.

As the protagonist, Xiao Yifeng considered himself a master, superior to others, and didn’t care about women’s thoughts. He only thought Ling Duanya was ungrateful. He was trying to help her, and instead of being grateful, she was making things difficult for him. How excessive!

…

After evening self-study.

Wang Haoran escorted Song Zhenyu back to her rented apartment and prepared to return to the hotel. However, he suddenly received a message from the private detective.

It was about Fang Heng. This guy had found another valuable painting on Guhe Street. Some buyers offered three to four million, but unlike last time, Fang Heng didn’t sell it. Instead, he took a taxi with the painting.

The private detective hadn’t reported his destination yet, as Fang Heng was still on the road, with many possible directions. They would provide an update once he reached his destination.

“Hey, Xiao Heng, what’s up?”

At this moment, Wang Haoran heard Fang Xuan’s voice through his Bluetooth earpiece.

“Sis, are you off work?”

“I just finished. I’m heading to the hospital to see Mom. What’s up?”

“I have a surprise for you. Wait for me downstairs at your company. I’ll pick you up in a taxi, and we’ll go to the hospital together.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

The call ended.

“Let’s not go to the hotel. Head to Kangming Hospital,” Wang Haoran instructed the driver.

Kangming Hospital was an ordinary hospital. From the private detective’s investigation, Wang Haoran learned that Fang Xuan’s mother was hospitalized there.

“Yes, young master.”

The driver responded and turned the car around.

About ten minutes later, Wang Haoran arrived outside the hospital. There were fruit vendors outside the hospital entrance. Wang Haoran bought a large amount of fruit and then entered the hospital, easily finding Fang Xuan’s mother’s bed.

At this moment, Fang Xuan and Fang Heng hadn’t arrived yet. On the bed lay a woman with dark, even ulcerated skin. From a distance, there was an unpleasant smell.

With his knowledge of the Supreme Poison Sutra, Wang Haoran estimated that even with regular dialysis, the woman wouldn’t live more than three months. To survive, she would need a matching kidney donor.
