Wilderness Romance!

Ordinary acupuncture treatment takes at least twenty minutes, or even half an hour, but Lu Pingchuan timed it perfectly, giving Li's mother acupuncture for ten minutes before reaching out to remove the silver needles.

"Mother, how are you feeling?" Li Cheng asked his mother with concern.

Li's mother grinned, revealing a long-lost smile: "I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

"Where did you find this miracle doctor? Hurry up and thank him."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Lu Pingchuan.

His face was flushed, his eyes were filled with tears, and his excitement was palpable.

"Mr. Lu, thank you, thank you for saving my mother."

"By the way, Mr. Lu, is my mother's illness completely cured?"

At this moment, Li's mother had a rosy complexion and a peaceful and serene expression. Her whole demeanor was completely transformed. Even experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors would not have known that she had been sickly just ten minutes before.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind." Lu Pingchuan chuckled lightly, slowly putting the silver needles into his needle case. "Illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon; it's not that easy."

"It will probably take some time for your mother to fully recover from her illness. However, Mr. Li, I have my own rules for treating patients, you should understand what I mean, right?"

In fact, if he had just performed acupuncture for another ten minutes, he could have completely cleared Li's mother's Qi, thus curing her phlegm-induced meridian blockage and Yin-Yang stagnation.

But he wasn't stupid. If he cured Li's mother's illness, he would lose his leverage over Li Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng was slightly taken aback, suddenly remembering what Lu Pingchuan had said earlier.

"As long as you can meet my requirements, I will definitely be able to cure your mother's illness."

"Mr. Lu," Li Cheng said urgently, "how much does it cost to treat my mother's illness? Just name a price, and I'll pay it. If you have any other requests, feel free to ask. As long as I, Li Cheng, can do it, I will do it without hesitation."

Lu Pingchuan's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Mr. Li, this matter is not convenient to discuss here. We need to find a quiet place to talk about it slowly."

"Okay." Li Cheng nodded emphatically. "Mr. Lu, I'll treat you tonight. We can talk about my mother then."

"No." Lu Pingchuan immediately rejected Li Cheng's suggestion.

He dared not take the risk, after all, Li Cheng was one of Luo Sanpao's men. What if the other party took Luo Sanpao or Lao Hei and Lao Bai with them when they made arrangements for the night? Wouldn't that cause an explosion?

"Mr. Li, I have a lot of taboos, so let me make the arrangements. Give me your phone number, and I'll call you when I've made the arrangements."

"Alright." Li Cheng took out a business card and handed it over with both hands: "Mr. Lu, this is my business card. I'll be waiting for your call anytime."

"By the way, Mr. Lu, what's your phone number? Let me write it down."

I'll call you.

Lu Pingchuan took the business card and stuffed it into his pocket, then ignored Li Cheng and walked towards Shen Yaxin.

"Shen Yaxin, you said before that as long as I could cure Mr. Li's mother's illness, you would let me do whatever I wanted with you. Does that still stand?"

Shen Yaxin was a little nervous and worried when she saw Li's mother's condition, but after listening to Lu Pingchuan and Li Cheng's conversation, she instantly regained her calm and composed demeanor.

"Yes, of course it counts."

"But Lu Pingchuan, isn't it a bit too early for you to tell me all this?"

Lu Pingchuan's face darkened: "What, Shen Yaxin, are you trying to renege on your promise?"

"I'm cheating?" Shen Yaxin scoffed. "Lu Pingchuan, you just told Mr. Li yourself that Aunt Li's illness hasn't been cured. How am I cheating?"

"Isn't that right?" Lu Pingchuan raised his hand and pointed to Li's mother on the bed: "Shen Yaxin, you've seen it too. Under my treatment, Mr. Li's mother's symptoms have completely disappeared."

"This is enough to prove that my treatment method is correct and effective, and a complete cure is only a matter of time."

"Alright, once you've completely cured Aunt Li's illness, I will naturally fulfill my previous promise."

Shen Yaxin had already made her plans. As long as she could get through today, what did it matter if Lu Pingchuan cured Li's mother? By then, Lu Pingchuan wouldn't even be able to see her, so how could she expect him to keep his promise?

But Lu Pingchuan knew her too well and saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"You said it yourself." He turned his gaze to Li Cheng: "Mr. Li, we'd appreciate it if you could be our witness, so that no one can renege on their promise later."

"no problem."

Li Cheng nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. With me, Li Cheng, here, no one can renege on their promises. If anyone does, I, Li Cheng, will definitely not let them off the hook."

At this moment, Li Cheng needed Lu Pingchuan's help, so he would naturally speak on his behalf.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaxin's heart skipped a beat.

She knew perfectly well what kind of person Li Cheng was. She dared to play tricks on Lu Pingchuan, but she would never dare to play tricks on Li Cheng. However, she wasn't too worried.

Now that Li's mother seems to be in better condition than ever before, Shen Yaxin sees no need to stay any longer.

She said goodbye to Li Cheng and then hurriedly left the Li family home.

Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan also made a phone call gesture to Li Cheng: "Mr. Li, wait for my call, I'll be going now."

Before Li Cheng could reply, Lu Pingchuan quickly chased after Shen Yaxin.

"Shen Yaxin, you stop right there."

"What are you doing?" Shen Yaxin stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Lu Pingchuan.

"Lu Pingchuan, you caused me to be kicked out of the Su family and lose my job at the city hospital. What more do you want?"

If it weren't for the huge compensation, and if her older brother hadn't died, Lu Pingchuan probably wouldn't have even given her a second glance.

But at this moment, he was filled with nothing but rage.

"Shen Yaxin, don't you have anything to explain to me?"

"Explain?" Shen Yaxin scoffed. "Explain what?"

Lu Pingchuan grabbed the other person's fair and slender neck, gritting his teeth as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"I promised to take the blame for you, and you promised to handle the compensation, so why haven't you done so?"

"Lu Pingchuan, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Shen Yaxin raised her hand and frantically tried to pry Lu Pingchuan's wrist off her neck, but no matter how hard she tried, Lu Pingchuan's hand remained as still as an iron clamp.

The sudden tightening force made her breath catch in her throat, her chest felt tight, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red. Her previously feigned arrogance vanished in an instant.

A suffocating panic swept over her, and the resentment in Shen Yaxin's eyes completely faded, leaving only endless panic.

"Lu...Lu Pingchuan, you...let me go first, I...I can't breathe."

"It's just...it's just a few tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, right? I...I'll give it to you right now."

"Tens of thousands of yuan?" Lu Pingchuan gritted his teeth and shoved Shen Yaxin against the wall. "Shen Yaxin, Fang Yinuo has become a vegetable. Do you think tens of thousands of yuan in compensation is enough?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaxin froze on the spot.

When the incident first occurred, Su Jingming was taking care of Fang Yinuo at the hospital, and she stayed by his side in order to get closer to him.

But more than ten days later, she got together with Su Jingming. From that day on, they never went to the hospital again. She had no idea that Fang Yinuo had become a vegetable.

"How...how is this possible? How...how could Fang Yinuo become a vegetable?"
