A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

"Doctor, doctor, doctor..." Zhong Yufen called out several times.

"Uh, are you calling me?" Gu Feng came to his senses in a daze and realized that He Tiansheng and his wife, along with the old man with a grumpy face, were already standing in front of the big bed in the room.

"If I wasn't calling you, was I? I paid you to come and do work, not to let you sleepwalk!" Old Man He said in a gruff voice.

Look at him, with his furrowed brows and crooked mouth; he doesn't look angry, he looks like he's about to have a stroke.

Gu Feng pursed his lips and quickly stepped forward.

He Qiaoqing lay quietly on the large bed that could fit seven or eight people side by side, her long hair scattered on the pillow, her beautiful face slightly pale, and her cheeks thinner than when Gu Feng saw her in the operating room.

However, with her eyes lightly closed and her expression calm, if it weren't for the various monitoring devices attached to her body, people would have thought she was just sleeping soundly, and would never have imagined that she was unconscious.

On the ECG monitor screen, breathing, heart rate, pulse, and body temperature were all relatively stable and normal.

But Gu Feng dared not be optimistic at all.

He knew very well that if the woman didn't wake up soon, her beautiful face would wither away like a fading flower, eventually turning her into skin and bones, barely recognizable as human.

Seeing her like this, Gu Feng suddenly remembered a song that Su Man'er used to really like.

"...in a fairy tale from a thousand years ago"

There was a Sleeping Beauty,

She longed for the world.

The innocence that has long been lost.

She wished to fall asleep.

Until true love arrives.

Fate chose me.

Go and awaken her wisp of fragrant soul...

If He Qiaoqing in front of him was the legendary Sleeping Beauty, then could he be the prince who had come to kiss her awake? Gu Feng couldn't help but secretly ask himself.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and treat him!" Seeing Gu Feng standing there dumbfounded, not saying a word or making any move, Old Man He gave him a hard shove.

Gu Feng was lost in thought when he was suddenly pushed and stumbled, almost falling directly onto He Qiaoqing on the bed.

Having finally regained his balance, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

Old man, I've put up with you for too long.

"Mr. He, are you the doctor now, or am I the doctor?" Gu Feng asked in a calm tone.

Old Man He was taken aback, then shouted, "Of course you're a doctor! Otherwise, why would we pay you to come?"

"Since I'm a doctor, then please shut your mouth," Gu Feng said irritably.

"You? What did you say?" Old Man He was furious, his finger trembling as he pointed at Gu Feng.

For decades, who has dared to speak to him like that?

Seeing that things were not going well, He Tiansheng and Zhong Yufen quickly stepped forward, standing in the middle to block the old man and trying to persuade him with kind words, fearing that the young man who did not know his own death would really fight with the old man.

Old Man He, however, was relentless. He flung He Tiansheng aside and pointed at Gu Feng, yelling, "What did you just say? Say it again if you dare!"

"Uh, wasn't I clear enough?" Gu Feng looked puzzled, then, without waiting for Old Man He to interrupt, he continued, "Then you should listen carefully. I'm saying, if you want me to treat your granddaughter, stop babbling and pointing fingers here. You'd better get out of here and stop getting in my way."

"You—" Old Man He finally managed to squeeze out a word.

Gu Feng didn't give him a chance to speak, firing off a barrage of words: "What do you mean, 'you'? You're disrespectful to your elders, setting a bad example for future generations. You've lived to such an old age and don't even understand basic social etiquette. I think you've wasted these past few decades. If you really don't like me, you can take your consultation fee back; I don't care anyway. Otherwise, at least be nicer. Get this straight, you're the ones who invited me here, not me shamelessly begging to curry favor with you!"

"You little bastard, you've gone too far!" Old Man He roared in fury, swinging his cane at Gu Feng like a broadsword used to chop down Japanese soldiers.

Gu Feng sneered and grabbed the cane that was swept towards him.

At the same time, the guards who had heard the commotion rushed in. Seeing this, several shots rang out, and the dark muzzles of their guns were all pointed at Gu Feng's head: "Don't hurt the commander!"

Gu Feng did not move.

He just grabbed onto Old Man He's cane, preventing the old man from hitting him or pulling it back, which made the old man so angry that he glared and his face turned red.

That expression was priceless.

"Old man He, if I were to spare you any trouble, I wouldn't even bother with you, let alone a hundred taels of gold. Even if you gave me a thousand or ten thousand taels, I wouldn't care. Don't think you're so great just because you have power, influence, and a little money. Even if I were your servant, I still have my dignity. If you want me to wholeheartedly treat your granddaughter, you'd better disappear from my sight and stop making trouble for yourself!"

Gu Feng's voice was not loud, but every word was forceful.

His piercing gaze met Old Man He's strange eyes without flinching, and he flung his cane away after speaking.

Those guns were still pointed at him, but he ignored them. He was used to having guns pointed at him.

Old Man He glared fiercely at Gu Feng with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Gu Feng did not back down and went straight to meet him.

Two gazes collided in mid-air, almost sparking each other.

The He Tiansheng couple watched in horror, wanting to offer advice but not daring to speak. If they didn't, they feared the old man would get angry and order Gu Feng to be tied up, or even worse, he would suffer a stroke from anger.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The room was so quiet, with so many people, you could hear a pin drop.

"Hahahaha—" Suddenly, Old Man He burst into wild laughter as if he had been driven mad with anger.

Laughter echoed in the room, sending chills down one's spine and raising goosebumps.

"Dad!" He Tiansheng and Zhong Yufen called out anxiously.

Old Man He ignored them and laughed loudly.

After a long pause, he pointed at Gu Feng and said, "You little bastard! I've spent most of my life braving gunfire, and today I've finally met someone who dares to challenge me!"

Gu Feng: "..."

Old Man He rolled his eyes, his gaze turning cold as he stared intently at Gu Feng: "You little rascal, I'm not afraid of your arrogance, I'm afraid you're arrogant because you don't have the ability to be arrogant. Heh heh, once I've given you the money, there's no going back. So, even though I don't like you, I'll tolerate you this time. Listen to me carefully—three days, I'm only giving you three days. If you don't wake up my precious granddaughter, don't even think about leaving the He family. You'll stay here and be my granddaughter's servant for the rest of your life!"

Gu Feng panicked upon hearing this, almost jumping up: "Hey! You old geezer, have you no shame? That's not what we agreed on beforehand! I just came to—"

"Let's go!" Old Man He ignored him completely, waved his cane, and led the guards away in a swaggering manner.

He Tiansheng and Zhong Yufen exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say. They hadn't expected the old man to be so unreasonable.

Seeing that the couple was still there, Gu Feng rushed forward as if grasping at a straw, and said urgently, "Uncle He, Aunt He, look, this isn't what we agreed on beforehand! Didn't you say I was here to give He Qiaoqing physical therapy? Why is it that now we have to wake her up?"

He Tiansheng stammered, "This...that...I..."

"Hey, what are you two dawdling for!" another cold shout came from the doorway. Old Man He's hateful face reappeared at the door, yelling at He Tiansheng and Zhong Yufen, "Come out! Come out now! Doesn't he think we're in his way? Nobody should get in his way, lest this brat blame the ground when he can't poop!"

He Tiansheng and Zhong Yufen, after being yelled at, could only give Gu Feng an apologetic look that said they couldn't help him, and then left.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "click-clack" sound of a key turning—the door was locked from the outside.
