I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Seeing Qin Ge's figure disappear through the door, Sun Shizheng also stepped away, followed by Sun Miaomiao.

No one dared to stop them.

Cheng Yun tried to call out to them, opening her mouth several times, but ultimately didn't say anything.

She thought it best to let it go for now, since there was still one person there, and she could ask him again after things were resolved here.

If Qin Ge and the others really gave her the remaining six pills for free, and her illness was truly cured, she wouldn't be able to accept such a favor so readily.

You should find a way to repay a debt of gratitude. Regardless of how much you can do, you must first have the intention to do so.

"Medicine? What medicine?"

A doctor stared at the bottle in Chang Siyao's hand and spoke, then looked at Cheng Yun, his face darkening. "You haven't already taken their medicine, have you?"

"How could you act so ridiculously, patient!"

"Is it okay to take medicine of unknown origin?"

He turned to Cheng Yun's mother, "And you, as a family member, are you going to act up too, since the patient is delirious and acting out?"

"Treating and saving lives is a serious matter; how can we treat it so lightly? We must trust science, you know?"

"If it weren't for this kind-hearted Mr. Dong today, we would still be in the dark. Do you realize that this is disrupting our treatment plan?"

"If this medicine doesn't work, and we're unaware of it, are you planning to make some talisman water or something to drink next?"

"What a pipe dream! Ignorance is bliss!"

The doctor held out his hand to Chang Siyao, "Give me the medicine, I'm confiscating it!"

"Give us back all the money you've swindled, or we'll call the police!"

Chang Siyao gave him a look that suggested he might be mentally challenged, and said, "You're dreaming!"

Do you know how much this medicine is worth?

"Here you go, can you handle it?"

He had figured out why Qin Ge gave him the medicine and asked him to deliver one pill to Cheng Yun every day, instead of giving it to anyone else or directly to Cheng Yun.

This medicine is so incredibly effective, and Cheng Yun can only take one pill a day. If the rest are kept on hand, and someone with ulterior motives targets them, there's no way the mother and daughter can protect them!

Once the efficacy of a miracle drug is proven, it will fetch an astronomical price at any auction house.

Furthermore, the transaction price was only the highest price that the auction participants could afford, and it was far from the value of the medicine. This thing is priceless!

Uncle Qian and Auntie are so foolish! Do they even realize what they've missed?

But it's not a big problem, is it? The old man must be about seventy years old, he's lived a long life.

Cheng Yun is such a pitiful girl, it would be a good deal to let her live.

She was truly lucky to have received the sect leader's mercy and escape with her life.

"Chang Siyao!" Dong Jie roared, "You're quite arrogant, aren't you? No wonder you dare to lie even to your own family!"

"You're not a young person anymore. Making money like this, cheating your own relatives against your conscience—aren't you ashamed?"

"If you need money, just tell me. Kneel down and call me Brother Jie properly, and I'll give you three to five thousand. Consider it giving alms to a beggar!"

He had met Chang Siyao once before. They didn't know each other very well, but they were acquaintances.

After Dong Jie learned from his parents what had happened while he was away, what angered him the most was Chang Siyao!

They've set their sights on his parents! What kind of damn relatives are they? They're utterly despicable!

Chang Siyao wanted to speak or even take action several times, but he held back in the end.

Forget it, why bother arguing with these ordinary people? It's beneath my dignity.

Why did I have to end up with these relatives?

"This is our own business, it's none of your concern!"

Seeing Chang Siyao being harassed and Qin Ge and the others being slandered, Cheng Yun's mother couldn't hold back any longer.

She could scold her, but she couldn't tolerate the slander against her daughter's benefactor. "Dr. Li, I used to believe in science and in you all, but what happened?"

"Science failed to save my daughter's life; under your scientific treatment, her condition worsened day by day!"

Dr. Li looked slightly embarrassed. "I understand how you feel, but you shouldn't have said it like that."

"Your daughter has pancreatic cancer, a disease that current medical technology cannot cure. There is no cure in the world, and we can only do our best to slow its progression."

"You can't cure it, but Dr. Qin's medicine can!" Cheng Yun's mother practically shouted. "I don't understand what you're saying; I only believe what I see with my own eyes!"

"Mom..." Cheng Yun stepped forward and tugged at her mother, "Don't get so agitated, say less."

She gave Dr. Li and the others a gentle and polite smile, "Thank you for your kindness, but I think you've misunderstood."

"We weren't scammed. Dr. Qin gave me the medicine for free, without charging me a penny, and his medicine really works!"

She spun around on the spot. "You can tell by looking at my current state."

"Dr. Li, you are my attending physician, so you should know very well what my physical condition was like before today, right?"

"Before Dr. Qin and the others came, I had difficulty even getting out of bed, but now I can move around freely."

"I really wasn't scammed, and you don't need to get involved in this. Thank you."

Dr. Li and the others were stunned by Cheng Yun's words.

Yeah, we're so focused on catching these scammers that we've neglected the patients' conditions!

No wonder I felt something was off when I first came in. Cheng Yun seemed perfectly fine.

Based on the last ward round, she should only have a few days left. Could this be a final burst of energy before death?

"Patient in room 611, please lie down on the bed immediately. We need to examine your condition right away!"

Dr. Li was the first to react and immediately had someone arrange the equipment to begin examining Cheng Yun.

A few minutes later, as he listened to the data reported by the nurse, he was repeatedly shaken.

After reporting the last data point, he summarized, almost to himself, "The symptoms of tumor compression have largely disappeared, and all the body's data indicators have improved significantly..."

Everyone else was also deeply shaken; it wasn't just a temporary relapse, they had truly recovered significantly!

The signs of worsening in advanced pancreatic cancer were completely contained, and bodily functions recovered rapidly. This has overturned common medical knowledge. How exactly was this achieved?

Dong Jie only half understood what they were saying, but he guessed the general idea and asked incredulously, "Dr. Li, what did you just mean?"

"This young lady's condition has really improved significantly, are you sure there's no mistake?"

"The results of the examination confirm that this is indeed the case." Dr. Li's voice was mechanical; he hadn't quite recovered yet.

Cheng Yun's situation had completely overturned his understanding. "611... Miss Cheng Yun, what exactly happened?"

"Did you really get better after taking those pills?"
