Seeing that there was no way to hide what he did from her, Cheng Yi whispered his deeds to Luo Xiuen. He told her that he had done an injection in Jian Yunnao’s buttocks.

“Oh my god! Why didn’t you say so? How can one injection be enough? Let’s go and get some more!”

As soon as Luo Xiuen heard the news from Cheng Yi, she started to head towards the ward.

Cheng Yi quickly stopped Luo Xiuen in her tracks, “Sister En, please don’t be rash! You can’t do these things often. Jian Yunnao isn’t stupid. Furthermore, his brother and his mother are still there. Furthermore, he’s quite valuable right now. We have to leave him so Jian Yiling can perform her operation. After the operation succeeds, Jian Yiling’s reputation in the industry will soar.”

Luo Xiuen paused for a moment and thought about Cheng Yi’s words. She felt his words made sense.

“Hmmm… I guess so. I’ll let him go for now,” Luo Xiuen said. However, after a moment, she continued, “But as long as well don’t hurt his hands, isn’t it fine? Furthermore, no one will know if we don’t get caught. He can still suffer a little, no?”

“Sister En, what are you planning to do?’

Cheng Yi had a bad feeling about Luo Xiuen’s plans.

“Nothing much. I just remembered that Professor Liu used to study Chinese medicine.”

“Sister En… Are you….” Cheng Yi trailed off. He seemed to know what Luo Xiuen was plotting.

“Let’s combine Chinese and Western medicine! It’d be good for him!” Luo Xiuen declared proudly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi’s eyes that were underneath his gold-rimmed glasses lit up. “I’ve heard that Codonopsis root, Angelica Sinensis, and milk vetch roots are good for one’s health. They’re often put in tonic soups.”

The way that Cheng Yi spoke was cultured and serious. It didn’t appear that he was suggesting anything bad.

“Psh. You don’t know anything. Let’s add Coptis Chinensis. I’ve heard that centipedes are also very good for the human body. It’s also often used in traditional Chinese medicine.”

Cheng Yi wasn’t sure about the effectiveness of such ingredients. However, he knew that Coptis Chinensis was very bitter. Extremely bitter.

“Oh, you’re right! Sister En is definitely right!” Cheng Yi cried out. He started to flatter Luo Xiuen.

“Also, remember to not tell Yiling about this!” Luo Xiuen reminded.

“Don’t worry,” Cheng Yi replied. For this matter, both of them were in a mutual understanding.

“Then, what are you waiting for? Let’s go and find Professor Liu!”

Luo Xiuen began to drag Cheng Yi away.

“Sister En, slow down… Please slow down.”

As he was being dragged along, Cheng Yi had to scurry after Luo Xiuen.

Jian Yunnao’s admission had finally been done.

“I’m going to take away your phone and computer,” Jian Yuncheng told Jian Yunnao. He wasn’t asking his brother for permission. But rather, he was merely telling him.

As of this moment, Jian Yuncheng had already taken away the electronic devices that were previously next to Jian Yunnao.

“Why are you taking my phone and computer away?”

Jian Yunnao’s buttocks still hurt. Due to that reason, he could only lie down on the bed and speak to his eldest brother.

“I want you to focus on your health. I’ve bought you a few books. You can read them if you get bored,” Jian Yuncheng told him.

There was a stack of books on the bedside table next to Jian Yunnao.

“Okay.”

Although Jian Yunnao wanted his phone and computer back, he didn’t dare to disobey Jian Yuncheng’s instructions.

Furthermore, his operation was finally within sight. His heart could finally rest assured. He didn’t need his phone and computer to constantly distract him from the world anymore.

After Jian Yuncheng finished speaking to Jian Yunnao, he left the research institution. As soon as he got onto the car, he called Huo Yu.

Huo Yu was half asleep. He muttered, “Oh my god, Brother Yuncheng. Do you know that it’s in the middle of the night over here?”

It was noon on Jian Yuncheng’s side. However, Huo Yu lived in a different time zone. As a result, it was in the middle of the night over there.

“Release the information that I sent you before.”

“Brother Yuncheng. No, boss. Actually, my dear ancestor. That matter has been left there for a few days already. Can’t you wait for a few more hours? I just want to sleep a bit more. Can’t you wait until I wake up?”

The voice on the other side of the phone was crying out in grief. He just wanted his rest.

“No. Send it right now,” Jian Yuncheng requested.
