Once again, Cheng Yi helped Jian Yiling answer the question, “There’s no need for Mr. Yunnao to be polite. Dr. F.S’s treatment is fee-based. The price is public. We do deceive or swindle anyone. It is fair and sincere treatment. If Mr. Yunnao feels grateful, you can consider paying more when you settle your accounts.”

There was no point in being too courteous. Since he had the opportunity, he might as well ask for some more money.

After all, it doesn’t cost much to say thank you.

“Mhmm, definitely,” Jian Yunnao immediately replied.

This had been a matter that Jian Yunnao had already discussed with his father and his brother.

If his operation was successful, they would definitely give a big thank you to Dr. F.S.

Cheng Yi added, “In addition, Mr. Yunnao, if your hand gets better, I hope that you can look at things calmly with an even-temper. Please do not harbor resentment and grudges. Furthermore, even if something bad happens, do not give up on hope. Please remember that there are people around you who care about you.”

“I understand,” Jian Yunnao replied again.

As of now, he had hope for the future. He wouldn’t continue to bash his head against a brick wall. He wouldn’t be full of hatred anymore.

A little while later, the medical examination was over. Jian Yiling left the room.

Jian Yunnao was left alone for quite some time. After a while, someone entered the room and removed his blindfold. They took him back to his ward.

Jian Yiling had confirmed the condition of Jian Yunnao’s hand. She also went to check up on the condition of Qin Chuan’s mother.

Following this, Jian Yiling spent the entire afternoon in the laboratory.

Other than the time that she spent talking to Cheng Yi about Qin Chuan’s mother’s condition, Jian Yiling spent the rest of her time trying to recreate the anti-scar cream that she had previously made.

For now, she needed to conduct clinical trials for the cream. After such trials, she could obtain clinical data to apply for approval. Then, she could apply for a patent.

On Saturday, Hu Jiaojiao went to attend tutoring. The location of the tutoring center was ten minutes’ walk from her home.

It was already dark by the time Hu Jiaojiao left.

As soon as she left and turned into an alleyway, a bag fell from the sky. Then, it was secured over Hu Jiaojiao’s head.

“Ah!!!” Hu Jiaojiao cried out. She started to shriek from the sudden turn of events.

It was pitch black in front of her. She couldn’t see anything.

Then, she felt someone drag her deeper into the alleyway.

Hu Jiaojiao sensed that there were quite a few people around her. The actions of those people were rough and violent.

She didn’t want to be touched by people she didn’t know. Fear penetrated to her bones.

“Help! Help!” Hu Jiaojiao cried out. Her entire body trembled with fear.

Instinctively, Hu Jiaojiao began to scream. She struggled as if her life depended on it. She wanted to get away from these people.

However, her attempts did not cause the people around her to even bat an eye.

Although Hu Jiaojiao couldn’t see anything, she could feel that someone was touching her arm. They were dragging her.

“Ah! Let me go!”

Hu Jiaojiao cried out again. She shuddered and wept.

She had mustered all the strength that she had.

However, she still couldn’t get away from the people around her.

The people around her had touched her hands, her arms, and even her neck.

Hu Jiaojiao was engulfed in fear. She shrieked like a madwoman. Her voice was becoming hoarse from screaming.

For the first time in her life, she had felt such panic and despair.

In her attempts to get away, she had heard a man’s voice. His voice made her nauseous.

“Stop struggling. Who let you be friends with someone like Jian Yiling? Serves you right.”

His voice seemed to be ridiculing her. It seemed as though he was mocking her for making the wrong choice.

Hu Jiaojiao hadn’t given up struggling. However, her struggles were negligible.
