Chapter 8: Cold Poison Attacks the Heart, Life Hangs by a Thread
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the chaos in the room paused for a moment.
All eyes were on Su Jinyu.
"Ugh...it's so cold..."
Su Jinyu groaned in pain in Li Qiuyue's arms, her body trembling like a leaf.
Previously, only her lips were purple, but now, every inch of her exposed skin has begun to show a strange bluish tinge.
A layer of visible white frost was spreading at an alarming rate from her eyebrows and hair roots.
Her breath was no longer white mist, but rather a chilling aura carrying icy shards.
"Jinyu! Jinyu! Don't scare your mother!"
Holding her daughter, Li Qiuyue felt as if she were holding not a person, but a huge block of ice. The coldness even penetrated her clothes, seeping into her flesh and blood, freezing her heart as well. Her hands were frozen red and numb.
"Quick! Call an ambulance! Get him to the hospital! Get him to the hospital right now!"
Su Changhe, who had been hiding under the table, finally crawled out. He pointed at Jiang Chen, his face showing a mixture of lingering fear and rage.
"It's all your fault! You jinx! You must have done something to Jin Yu!"
He dared not mention the matter of Master Ghost Hand from earlier, and could only vent all his anger on Jiang Chen.
"What are you waiting for! Call 120! It's the best hospital in Qincheng, with the best doctors! Go now!"
Su Changhe roared at the servant beside him. All he wanted now was for this man who had brought about a series of terrifying events to get out of his house.
Jiang Chen looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Send him to the hospital?"
Jiang Chen's voice was soft, yet it brought Su Changhe's roar to an abrupt halt.
"If we send it there now, her blood will freeze in her veins within ten minutes."
"At that time, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he could only knock a bunch of ice shards off her body."
These words plunged Li Qiuyue, whose hope had just been rekindled, back into despair.
She could feel her daughter's body trembling weaker and weaker, and her breathing becoming barely perceptible.
"Then...what should we do? Xiao Jiang, you must have a way, right?"
Li Qiuyue was completely lost and could only place her last hope on Jiang Chen.
"Of course there is a solution."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Nonsense! I will never allow you to touch my daughter again!"
Su Changhe jumped up and stood between Li Qiuyue and Jiang Chen.
"You're a murderer and a conman! Who knows what you're up to!"
"Even if it means going bankrupt, our Su family will hire the best doctors in the world! We don't need someone like you, of unknown origin, spreading rumors and misleading the public!"
He stiffened his neck, displaying the authority of the head of the household.
In his view, having Jiang Chen, a convict, rescue his daughter was a huge humiliation to the Su family.
Su Jinyu can die, but the Su family's reputation cannot be lost.
"Changhe, get out of the way!" Li Qiuyue's voice trembled.
"I won't allow it! Qiuyue, don't be fooled by him! He's just trying to take advantage of this!"
Su Changhe stood firmly in front of them.
Li Qiuyue looked at her daughter in her arms, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker and whose body was beginning to stiffen.
Then she looked at her husband, who was disregarding his own daughter's life for the sake of his ridiculous "face".
The tears in her eyes stopped, replaced by an unprecedented resolve.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap echoed throughout the mourning hall.
Li Qiuyue used all her strength to slap Su Changhe hard across the face.
Su Changhe was stunned by the beating. He covered his face and looked at his wife in disbelief.
"You...you dare hit me?"
"I'll wake you up, you bastard!"
Li Qiuyue's eyes were bloodshot, like a mother lioness protecting her cubs.
"Get out of my way!"
She pushed Su Changhe away with all her might, and then knelt down in front of Jiang Chen with a "plop".
"Xiao Jiang!"
This change in address stunned everyone.
"No, Mr. Jiang! Please! Please save my daughter!"
Li Qiuyue clung tightly to Jiang Chen's trouser leg, her forehead slamming heavily against the cold floor.
"If you can save Jinyu's life, you'll be a great benefactor to the Su family! I'll do anything you ask from now on! I beg you!"
She gave up all her dignity for a mother's most humble request.
Jiang Chen helped her up.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
His expression turned serious.
"Time is running out. If you want to save her, listen to me."
He walked to Su Jinyu's side and glanced at her almost lifeless body.
"The cold has already penetrated her bone marrow and internal organs. Ordinary acupuncture and medicine are just stopping the boiling water."
"There's only one way now."
Jiang Chen's gaze swept over Su Changhe's unpleasant expression.
"Only by introducing pure yang energy into her body and harmonizing yin and yang can the extreme cold within her body be resolved, helping her to break through and rebuild."
"What is this yin-yang harmony?"
Li Qiuyue didn't understand.
Su Changhe screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I understand! Your wolfish ambitions have finally been exposed! You're a lecherous thief! You wanted to take advantage of my daughter's vulnerability and defile her!"
"Indecent! Absolutely indecent!"
He yelled and tried to charge at us again.
Jiang Chen was too lazy to waste any more words with him.
He bent down, ignoring Su Changhe's curses, and scooped up Su Jinyu, who was almost losing body temperature.
The delicate body in his arms felt light as a feather, yet was chillingly cold.
"What are you doing! Put my daughter down!" Su Changhe angrily grabbed Jiang Chen's clothes.
Jiang Chen didn't even turn his head, carrying Su Jinyu as he strode towards the second floor.
"Auntie, guard the door and don't let anyone in to disturb us."
His voice came from the stairwell.
"Otherwise, I will not be responsible for any consequences."
Looking at Jiang Chen's resolute back and then at her daughter's faint breathing in her arms, Li Qiuyue made a decision in an instant.
She whirled around, arms outstretched, like a guardian deity, blocking the stairwell. At that moment, her daughter's life was paramount; she wouldn't allow anyone to shatter this last hope.
"Su Changhe! If you dare take one step forward today, I'll fight you to the death!"
Jiang Chen, holding Su Jinyu in his arms, kicked open the door to her bedroom.
"Bang!"
He slammed the door shut behind him and locked it. The click shut out all the noise and disturbance from outside.
In the room, only he and the woman in his arms, whose life hung by a thread, remained.
Because of the extreme cold, Su Jinyu's body retained its last survival instinct.
She felt a warm source of heat approaching her.
In the last moment before losing consciousness, her survival instinct in the extreme cold was fully activated. Like an octopus, she used her last bit of strength to tightly wrap herself around Jiang Chen's body, which was as hot as a furnace.
Her cold lips unconsciously pressed against Jiang Chen's neck, murmuring two words.
"hot……"
"……Give me……"
