Chapter Sixteen: Rescue

  Not long after, Mrs. Xu led Zhao Hongxia in.

  At this moment, Zhao Hongxia's face was filled with awkwardness, shame, and discomfort, and she didn't dare to look at Jiang Le in the eye.

  "Xiao Le, look, there's something we can clarify face-to-face," said Mrs. Xu in a soft voice.

  Jiang Le looked at Zhao Hongxia with a calm expression and said, "As for what happened before, since I've already said I wouldn't mind it, I won't bring it up again. However, you indeed didn't leave me with a good impression. I originally didn't want to get involved in your family's messy affairs."

  Zhao Hongxia suddenly became anxious and looked at Jiang Le with a pleading expression, as if she was about to burst into tears.

  "My mother is kind-hearted and didn't want me to bear the reputation of being heartless, so she asked me to help you this once, and I agreed."

  Zhao Hongxia's face lit up with joy, and she hastily expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Little Le, thank you, sister."

  Jiang Hua smiled warmly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. If he had known that this matter would bring danger, he would have selfishly chosen to ignore it as well.

  In every mother's eyes, her own child is the most important one.

  "First, don't thank me. I'm not doing this for free. I'll help your husband resolve this trouble, and in return, you pay 10 million. After that, we have no further relationship, and you won't appear before me again. Can you do that?"

  "Ten million?"

  Upon hearing this, the three women present were all shocked into stupidity.

  "Xiao Le, why do you want so many? Isn't that a bit too much?" Jiang Hua hastily asked.

  "Mom, this is nothing bad. A life is priceless, and if I don't take action, her husband will definitely die. This is the only way to cancel out the cause and effect. If she agrees, I'll go take a look."

  Jiang Hua was speechless. This cultivation business is too lucrative. With just a few words, she can earn more than what others can't even earn in their lifetime.

  Zhao Hongxia also felt a pang of pain, but her husband's life was indeed more precious than 10 million. She gritted her teeth and nodded: "I promise you."

  Jiang Le nodded, then looked at Xu Mu and said in a slightly cold tone: "And Aunt Yuan, after this time, our emotional ties are severed, so don't come to my house again in the future."

  "Ah?" Mrs. Xu was shocked and pale, and hastily said: "Xiao Le, how can you say such a thing?"

  "We were strangers to begin with, and the only connection between us is that your daughter and I were classmates. You've asked me multiple times, but it's already too much, our relationship has ended, don't force it."

  Mrs. Xu's face turned slightly pale, and she opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.

  In fact, between her and Jiang Le, only Jiang Le helped her. Even if she repaid him once, it brought trouble to Jiang Le, and she was filled with guilt.

  Now Jiang Le said this, but it was to make her have no reason to refute.

  "I understand." Mrs. Xu nodded reluctantly, then glanced at Zhao Hongxia with a complex mix of emotions in her heart, also unsure if what she had paid for the sake of Zhao Hongxia's family was worth it or not.

  "Alright, I'll go get ready and then you can take a look at your husband." Jiang Le said as she stood up.

  Zhao Hongxia's husband is now hospitalized and has chosen a rehabilitation hospital.

  Perhaps Director Zhao knew that Mrs. Xu was looking for Jiang Le, and when Jiang Le arrived, he was waiting with a few trusted doctors.

  "Hehe, Xiao Le, you have to let us observe when you save people. After all, this kind of illness is too rare, and after we've seen it, we can also take precautions. This is a good deed that benefits the world, you can't refuse." Director Zhao said with a serious tone, looking like he was sympathizing with the heavens.

  Jiang Le gave him a glance.

  Director Zhao's face is getting thicker and thicker. If you want to take credit for saving someone, just say it directly, why put gold on your own face?

  But if the Taoist technique of saving people can be learned just by looking at it, is that still a career against heaven?

  Jiang Leqian smiled lightly: "If Director Zhao is interested, then let's take a look together."

  "Haha, then I won't be polite." Jiang Le gave face, and Director Zhao smiled happily. The group of doctors behind him also showed excited expressions.

  After all, a person who has been thoroughly examined and judged by them as ready for death, can still be saved?

  This incredible thing made them somewhat disbelieving.

  But Jiang Le's calm and composed demeanor has also made them look forward to it.

  Perhaps, I can really see a shocking medical skill of life and death, flesh and bone.

  Go directly to Zhang Hongxia's husband's ward.

  Jiang Le took over a doctor's handed-over critical illness diagnosis book and took a look.

  Zhang Hongxia's husband, Xu Ye, is 42 years old. His medical record shows that his whole body is withered and weak, his five internal organs are depleted of energy, and he has fallen into a coma. Now he can only rely on physiological saline to sustain his life, but the effect is not good, and he may die at any time.

  These things are too vague and completely useless. Jiang Le took a glance and threw away the diagnosis book, leaving the doctor who was expecting to have some guidance with an embarrassed face.

  Walking up to the bedside, Jiang Le looked at Xue Ye.

  At first glance, Jiang Le felt the intense evil aura on him. This evil aura made Jiang Le feel somewhat familiar, seemingly the same as the one that appeared on Qin Shao at the Baicao Pharmacy last time.

  It seems that the evil spirits are all from the same person, and now they have become more rampant.

  Take another close look at Xu Ye's body.

  Sunken eyes, pale complexion, dark blue lips, even the skin on his body had lost its luster, indeed showing severe symptoms of losing vital energy.

  Jiang Le wrinkled his brow, pulled open the quilt, and felt around on Xue Ye's body.

  The onlookers held their breath and didn't dare blink, trying to figure out the meaning behind Jiang Le's action.

  A moment later, Jiang Le let out a breath and stood up.

  "Excuse me, how's my husband?"

  Jiang Le turned his head to look at Zhao Hongxia and said calmly: "It's okay, I won't die."

  Zhao Hongxia was overjoyed: "Really?"

  "But even if I cure her, she'll only have about ten years of life left. That's the best I can do. You decide whether or not to save her."

  "What? Only ten years of life? How can this be?" Zhao Hongxia was stunned.

  "It's his own fault, he's always been a ladies' man and that kind of behavior is bound to get him into trouble. Unfortunately for him, he's managed to stir up the biggest trouble of all."

  Zhao Hongxia was speechless with a bitter expression. Rich men will all become bad, this is a universal phenomenon in this society.

  "Save me, I can live for another ten years, it's better than dying now." Zhao Hongxia sighed.

  Jiang Le nodded and looked at Director Zhao, "I need to cast a spell for Xu Ye, I need a quiet environment, the fewer people left on site, the better, you understand?"

  "Huh? Can't we just watch without speaking either?" The other doctors were displeased.

  "Either listen to me and I'll save him, or you come and I'll get out of the way."

  Everyone was speechless, must you be so heartless? We all saw you catch a ghost last time.

  Director Zhao understood Jiang Le's character and made a decisive decision: "All of you, get out! Let Xiao Le fully display his skills in saving people." As he spoke, he gave the doctors a meaningful glance.

  Several doctors nodded in agreement and let out a sigh of feigned helplessness, but as soon as they stepped out the door, they immediately took off running at an incredible speed that put even young people to shame.

  Director Zhao closed the door and smiled at Jiang Le, saying: "Everyone has left, can you take action now?"

  Jiang Le smiled strangely, took out a yellow cloth bag from his backpack, pulled out a talisman paper, and injected a spell of magic power. The talisman paper flashed with light, transforming into a fist-sized water ball.

  This amazing scene made Zhao Hongxia and Director Zhao both wide-eyed with awe, curiosity, and admiration.

  At this moment, Jiang Le's hand shook, and the water ball flew out of his hand and landed directly on a surveillance camera in the corner of the hospital room wall.

  Bang!

  The camera's lens shattered instantly, water seeped in, sparks flashed, and the internal circuit was completely destroyed.

  Director Zhao was stunned, looked at Jiang Le who was quietly preparing the items, and let out a bitter laugh.

  This kid doesn't want to take any loss at all.
