Chapter Seventeen Return to Kangfu Hospital

  After chatting for a while, Jiang Le discovered that Xu's mother's expression seemed somewhat unnatural. She hesitated for a moment before asking: "Aunt Yuan, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

  Xu's mother glanced at Jiang Hua and dryly said, "It's nothing much, it's just that Jiao Jiao wants to personally thank you for your help. I don't know when Little Le has time, can he go to the hospital?"

  Jiang Le's eyes flashed and he nodded: "In that case, I'll accompany you to the hospital then."

  After greeting her mother, Jiang Le put on a yellow cloth bag and followed Xu Mu out of the antique shop and into a white BMW.

  As soon as the BMW left Antique Street, Jiang Le looked at Xu Mu sitting beside him and said: "Aunt Yuan, you can speak now."

  Mrs. Xu was taken aback and said: "What did you say?"

  Jiang Ledao: "What are you looking for me? You mustn't tell me that it's really Xu Jiong who wants to thank me in person?"

  Mrs. Xu smiled awkwardly: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." She continued, "It's not a big deal, this time Jiao Jiao got your help, I'm very grateful, this is just my little heart, I hope you don't mind."

  She pulled out a check from her handbag.

  Jiang Le took a glance and was secretly amazed by the string of zeros.

  This Qingyang City is not a very famous city, but there are really many rich people here.

  "No receipt, Jiang Le said directly: 'Aunt Yuan, I can't take this money. In our line of work, the pay and return are equal, which is called cause and effect canceling each other out. If the pay is greater than the return, it's called accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. But if the return is greater than the pay, that's greed. Unless I don't want to attain enlightenment, this money is a demon obstacle. Aunt Yuan, you're an intelligent person, you should understand what I mean.'"

  Mrs. Xu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and put away the check.

  "It was I who was abrupt, but doesn't cultivation require wealth? This payment without compensation isn't contradictory to the demands of cultivation?"

  "As long as you keep your heart true, this money will come."

  Mrs. Xu nodded and stopped asking questions.

  After a moment of silence, Jiang Le spoke again: "Aunt Yuan, don't you have something else to attend to?"

  Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter has gone through this, I always feel uneasy in my heart, even at home, it feels cold and gloomy, and I have nightmares when I sleep, I don't know why. Have I also encountered evil spirits?"

  After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Le and a hint of horror appeared on her face.

  Jiang Le's eyes scanned around and took a glance at Xu Mu, discovering that there was indeed some dark energy lingering on her body.

  However, this yin energy is not evil, but it's not something that can be encountered with ordinary evil spirits.

  After some thought, Jiang Le suddenly remembered a possibility.

  It is said that humans fear ghosts three parts, and ghosts fear humans seven parts. Those who truly do not fear the dark and evil are full of yang energy, and ordinary ghosts and monsters really dare not approach them easily.

  There is a type of person, due to timidity or being frightened, the yang energy in their body becomes dispersed, and the fear that arises in their heart can evolve into a kind of mental demon or shadow. This will naturally attract some of the yin energy floating on the earth, which will further affect their mind, making their body even weaker. If this persists for a long time, it may lead to serious illness or even damage to one's vital energy.

  Mrs. Xu's current situation is probably that after being frightened by her daughter, she became distracted and confused in her mind, and over time it turned out to be like this.

  Jiang Le took out a talisman from the yellow cloth bag and handed it to Mrs. Xu, saying: "This is not a collision with evil spirits, but just a small problem. This is a calming talisman, which has the effect of calming the mind and soul. Aunt Yuan, take it back with you, stick it on your forehead before going to bed at night, and you will be fine by tomorrow. It won't recur afterwards."

  Xu's mother was overjoyed, hastily took the talisman paper and carefully put it into her handbag. She then turned to Jiang Le with gratitude: "Thank you so much, little Le! This talisman isn't something I can just give away for free. How about we discuss the price?"

  Jiang Le smiled secretly.

  This aunt is deliberately finding opportunities to give herself money.

  However, this talisman is indeed not an ordinary object, its power in the world of Taoism is absolutely valuable and expensive. Moreover, I am also short of money now.

  "After some thought, Jiang Ledao said: 'Then it's 10,000 yuan.'"

  Mrs. Xu took out a bundle of money from her handbag without hesitation and handed it to Jiang Le, that thick stack of old hundred-yuan bills, red and dazzling.

  Jiang Le speechless.

  Are all rich people this awesome? Carrying a bunch of cash with them everywhere they go.

  But with the money right in front of him, Jiang Le didn't decline, took it and put it into a yellow cloth bag, secretly feeling some joy.

  Practicing Taoism is really the most correct choice in life, and this transaction was a profit of 10,000 yuan.

  About ten minutes later, the BMW arrived at the rehabilitation hospital.

  When I saw Xu Jie again, this classmate's face had already become much rosier and she had regained her beauty as the school flower of Qingyang No. 3 Middle School. This girl also loved studying, at this moment lying on the hospital bed, seriously doing exercises.

  Seeing Jiang Le coming in, Xu Jiong was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said: "You are Jiang Le."

  Jiang Le smiled: "Does Sergeant Xu know me?"

  Xu Jiong shook his head.

  "What makes you think I'm Jiang Le?"

  Xu Jie smiled and said, "I've heard my mom mention you. Someone with such great abilities dares to negotiate with the principal and even slips out of class to visit the hospital. Besides Jiang Le, I couldn't think of anyone else."

  Jiang Le couldn't help but praise: "Indeed, she's capable of being a class leader, and is much smarter than the average person."

  "Hehe, most importantly, I've seen your photos." Xǔ Jiàng suddenly stuck out her small tongue and smiled mischievously.

  Jiang Le speechless.

  "Right, you're here to see me?" Xǔ Jiàng asked happily.

  "Alright then."

  Xu Ju wrinkled her small nose and an unpleasant expression floated on her pretty face: "What's the point of this."

  Jiang Le chuckled and blinked his eyes, saying: "Because I'm not just looking at you alone, you're one of the ones I'm looking at."

  Xu Jiong's words were stuck in his throat, he pouted and gave Jiang Le a dirty look: "I heard Yang Fan say that you're a smooth talker, looks like he wasn't wrong."

  It's Jiang Le's turn to be speechless now.

  Is he talking about himself? I'm actually the best student in our class, always conduct myself with integrity and never flirt with girls.

  He looked at Xu Jie for a few moments, and Jiang Le also stopped smiling, saying seriously: "You look like you've recovered pretty well now, I estimate that you'll be able to leave the hospital soon."

  "Really? Then I can go to school directly?" Xǔ Jiàng's eyes lit up and asked happily.

  Jiang Le nodded: "Pay attention to your diet in daily life, eat more foods that nourish and solidify the body, and there won't be any aftereffects later on."

  "Hehe, thank you." Xu Jiong said gratefully to Jiang Le.

  Just then, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and Director Zhao of Kangfu Hospital walked in with a group of people.

  Jiang Le took a few glances and found that they were all familiar faces, or rather, people he had seen before. They were the old doctor from the hospital who appeared with the female ghost last time, as well as several family members of the victimized women.

  "Haha, little friend, you're a rare guest. Why didn't you notify me when you came to the hospital?" Director Zhao warmly greeted him.

  Jiang Le sighed and said: "I've only been standing for a few minutes, and you, the great Dean, have already appeared. What's the difference between sending this notice or not?"

  Director Zhao smiled and said: "Little friend, you are a distinguished guest. When treating a distinguished guest, we must use our utmost care."

  He said so, and the group of people following him also looked at Jiang Le with kindness, some people's eyes were like measuring a son-in-law, making Jiang Le feel uncomfortable all over.

  "Cough, cough, Director Zhao, there's a business opportunity, want to take it or not?" Jiang Le's face moved slightly as he suddenly spoke up.
