Morning.
Jiang Che dropped off Yu Wan'er, Ye Mengyao, and Qin Qiaoqiao at school.
"Senior Jiang Che, what... what school are you planning to apply to?"
The three girls were squeezed into the backseat, none daring to take the front passenger seat.
They all knew better—the front seat wasn’t just for anyone, especially given the awkward tension between them.
Maintaining their friendship as close girlfriends was enough; none of them wanted to cross any boundaries.
Besides, sitting in the front seat would mean facing Jiang Che’s wandering "paws."
"I don’t really care. With my current grades, I can get into any school I want. You guys have good grades too, so we can all end up at the same place," Jiang Che said casually.
As the son of the wealthiest man in the city, it was customary for someone of his status to study abroad, attending Ivy League schools to earn a master’s or doctorate in finance before returning home to inherit the family fortune.
But Jiang Che had no intention of leaving the country. After all, he was the villain of the story!
Qin Qiaoqiao felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing Jiang Che’s words. She just wanted to stay by his side forever.
If Jiang Che’s grades weren’t good enough and he ended up at a mediocre school, she would follow him there. Her biggest fear was that Jiang Che might go abroad someday and leave her behind.
"Senior Jiang Che, you’re the best!"
......
In a basement somewhere.
"Damn, Qiang, you’re really going all out here!"
Wang Zheng and Liu Tie stared at Lin Yu, who was tied to a wooden horse stool, feeling like their eyes were about to burn out.
Lin Yu looked utterly miserable, having endured who knows how much torture.
Bald Qiang chuckled and rubbed his shiny head, jogging over to the two men.
Though Bald Qiang was the second-in-command of Hangcheng’s underground forces, he was ultimately just a thug working for Wang Zheng’s family.
"Young Master, Young Master Liu, what brings you here?"
Bald Qiang was wearing a pair of shorts and had a grin on his face.
Wang Zheng and Liu Tie took a step back. "Stay away from us."
Bald Qiang scratched his head awkwardly.
Wang Zheng leaned in and whispered a few words to him.
Bald Qiang’s eyes widened. "Young Master, I can’t let Lin Yu go. You don’t understand... he’s a martial artist..."
"Enough, enough. Just release him quietly later and help us put on a show," Wang Zheng insisted.
Though reluctant, Bald Qiang gritted his teeth and agreed.
...
Lin Yu’s spirit was on the verge of breaking.
Heaven knew what he had been through these past few days—it was a nightmare. He had long since become numb.
Bald Qiang was inhuman; he had nearly been crushed to death!
If he got the chance, he would definitely escape!
As Lin Yu was lost in thought, a conversation outside the door caught his attention.
"Did you hear? Young Master Jiang has been looking for a miracle doctor who can cure uremia."
"Why is he looking for a doctor who can cure uremia?"
"I heard it’s because Yu Wan'er’s mother has uremia. Young Master Jiang is trying to win her over. Yu Wan'er only got together with him because Jiang Che promised to cure her mother, but now her mother’s condition has worsened. If they don’t find a miracle doctor soon, the whole thing will fall apart."
"Does that mean whoever saves Yu Wan'er’s mother will win her heart?"
"Hiss! Where does Yu Wan'er’s mother live? Let’s go visit her with some gifts."
"I heard she’s in Room 101, 7th floor, Building 13, Hangcheng General Hospital."
Lin Yu’s eyes lit up instantly!
Uremia, Yu Wan'er, Yu Wan'er’s mother!
For some reason, his DNA stirred. These keywords combined triggered an instinctive urge within him.
His master, the miracle doctor, had taught him how to cure uremia. Using the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique combined with internal energy, it would only take a few hours to completely cure the disease.
Didn’t that mean... if he saved Yu Wan'er’s mother, he could win her heart?
The image of Yu Wan'er’s petite and adorable figure flashed in his mind. From the moment they first met, she had been imprinted deep in his heart.
"Wan'er... I will definitely help you."
Even though Lin Yu had lost one of his testicles and was completely infertile, he still couldn’t stop thinking about women.
Lin Yu knew he was broken, but he believed that if his master, Lin Xiaotian, intervened, he could be restored to his former glory.
His last hope rested entirely on Lin Xiaotian. Even with just one testicle, he could regain his vitality!
But what Lin Yu didn’t know was...
Right outside his door, Wang Zheng and Liu Tie were holding two sheets of paper and rehearsing their lines. Wang Zheng even winked at Liu Tie.
"Monkey, how was my improvisation just now?"
"Enough... let’s get out of here before we’re caught."
The two then turned their attention to Bald Qiang, who was visibly reluctant.
He still had feelings for Lin Yu. After all this time, suddenly being told to let him go... it was hard to accept!
......
Jiang Che went to visit Yu Weiwei.
Yu Weiwei seemed to be in good spirits, often sitting on the balcony outside her hospital room, lost in thought.
"Young Master Jiang, you’re here!"
In front of Yu Wan'er, she called him "Xiao Che," but in private, she addressed him as "Young Master Jiang."
"Is Wan'er... not here?"
"No."
Jiang Che brought a fruit basket and placed it by the bedside.
He then briefly explained the situation with Lin Yu to her. Jiang Che didn’t plan to lie to Yu Weiwei.
He knew Lin Yu, the so-called "chosen one," all too well. Once Lin Yu escaped, the first thing he would do was look for Yu Wan'er. If he couldn’t find her, he would come to Yu Weiwei instead!
After all, that’s how the original plot went. Lin Yu would find out about Yu Wan'er’s mother’s uremia and secretly cure Yu Weiwei.
But Yu Wan'er wouldn’t know, keeping readers in suspense for hundreds of chapters. During that time, Yu Wan'er would look down on Lin Yu, only for the truth to be revealed later, shocking everyone and giving readers a small thrill.
Unfortunately, by the time the novel was abandoned, Yu Wan'er still looked down on Lin Yu.
"Oh, Young Master Jiang, I understand."
Yu Weiwei nodded, not saying much. She was just surprised... that someone could actually cure uremia?
But since it was Young Master Jiang who said it, she naturally had to play along with his plan.
