He noticed that the old woman’s face was regaining its color. He wanted to feed her some pills, but realized that the medicinal effects of the pills he had with him were too strong. Given the condition of her body, she might not be able to withstand it. Thus, he abandoned the idea.
Xia Ruoxue walked over to Ye Chen’s side and asked softly, “Ye Chen, will Grandma really wake up?”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “When have I ever failed to fulfill my promise to you?””
Xia Ruoxue was about to say something when she noticed her grandmother coughing a few times. Her eyes lit up with joy and she rushed over.
Ding Wan was also rather excited, her voice trembling.
“Mom… Are you awake?”
The old woman on the bed opened her eyes, and she stretched out her hand and said, “Water…”
Xia Ruoxue quickly poured a glass of warm water and carefully helped the old woman up. “Grandma, drink some water first.”
After the old woman finished drinking the water, her eyes fell on Ye Chen.
Although she appeared unconscious just now, she could clearly feel everything that had happened around her in the ward over the past few days.
She wanted to respond to the doctors and family members and move her body, but she realized that it was impossible!
It felt like she was imprisoned in her own body, and it was horrifying.
Ye Chen walked over. Just as he was about to speak, the old woman on the bed got up and tried to kneel in front of Ye Chen.
“Divine Doctor Ye, please accept my bow…”
Ye Chen quickly held the old woman up and stopped her from kneeling. He said, “Grandma, what are you doing? I’m Ruoxue’s friend, so it’s normal for me to help. There’s no need to go so far.”
Xia Ruoxue also supported her grandmother and said, “Grandma, Ye Chen is one of us. You don’t have to do this. Besides, he still owes me a favor. He slept with me last time…”
She suddenly stopped talking.
She had let it slip!
Xia Ruoxue’s body stiffened, and so did her mother and grandmother.
A few seconds later, the old woman came back to his senses. With a smile on her face, she patted Ye Chen’s hand and said excitedly, “That’s good. Divine Doctor Ye is much better than that bastard from the Qin family. You have my blessing. Also, I’m getting old. It would be great if I could hold a grandchild in my arms before 1 die.”
Xia Ruoxue’s face turned red.
“Grandma… What are you talking about! Ye Chen is so bad…”
Her voice became softer and softer. She even glanced at Ye Chen from the corner of her eye. When she saw the latter smiling at her, her face turned even redder.
At five o’clock in the evening, Ye Chen walked out of the hospital. Now that Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother had woken up, it was best to leave the rest of the matters to the Xia family.
Initially, the old woman had wanted Xia Ruoxue to send Ye Chen off. However, seeing how embarrassed Xia Ruoxue was, she did not insist.
After leaving the hospital, Ye Cheng rang Xiao Deng and asked him to pick him up. While in the car, Ye Chen received a text message from Xia Ruoxue saying that she would move into the villa tomorrow.
This time, no one from the Xia family dared to stop her. It was probably Xia Ruoxue’s grandmother who was supporting her from behind.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Chen returned to the villa. As soon as he opened the door, his gaze turned cold. He condensed a wind blade in his hand, and shot it out!
There was someone in the villa!
Currently, he was the only one living there, so this person was definitely an intruder.
At this moment, a cold voice rang out, “You saw my naked body yesterday, yet you’re turning against me so quickly? How ungrateful.”
Ye Chen closed the door and found an indifferent beauty sitting on the sofa, waiting for him.
Lu Hanshuang!
To his surprise, Lu Hanshuang had easily blocked his wind blade. It appeared that this young woman was not weak.
Ye Chen sat on the sofa and looked at Lu Hanshuang with interest.
Today, Lu Hanshuang was not wearing a black outfit. Instead, she was wearing a pair of white casual pants, a pair of sneakers, and a white sweater.
“I remember saying that you shouldn’t step into this villa again,” Ye Chen said calmly.
The other party had broken his rules. Even if she was a beauty, Ye Chen would not show any mercy.
Lu Hanshuang smiled and stood up.
“I don’t like owing favors, but I owe you three. You can’t escape.”
“Today, I’m here to return the first favor.”
After saying that, Lu Hanshuang turned on the recording on her phone.
Soon, a conversation was heard in the recording, which lasted twenty seconds.
Lu Hanshuang glanced at Ye Chen and said, “I’m getting more and more interested in you. The Qin family actually paid such a high price to ensure that you would not live past tonight.”
“Originally, I was curious about who had the strength to make the Qin family so angry. However, when 1 found out that the person in the VIP ward was you, I took the initiative to accept this mission and killed another person as your scapegoat, saving your life.”
“Do you think this counts as a favor returned?”
Lu Hanshuang thought that Ye Chen would thank her, but he shook his head and said coldly, “Lu Hanshuang, you’re too full of yourself. Please understand one thing. It’s not the Qin family who wants to kill me, but me who wants to destroy the Qin family.”
“If your Xuemei Palace accepted this mission and provoked me, 1 can guarantee that it would end up like the Qin family.”
“It would be the Xuemei Palace that would no longer be standing past tonight!”
Ye Chen’s voice was extremely cold.
Lu Hanshuang was stunned, and her expression turned strange.
Who would have thought that this guy would actually threaten Xuemei Palace!
Xuemei Palace was the number one assassin organization in Huaxia’s martial arts world!
There were countless experts within its ranks!
As long as one could afford to pay the price, they could kill any expert in Huaxia!
Even if they failed, the Xuemei Palace would send even stronger experts to deal with their targets! Xuemei Palace even had an expert that ranked within the top thirty of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings among them.
If someone offended the Xuemei Palace, only death awaited them!
The Xu family head that she killed yesterday was a martial arts expert with a high status!
“Ye Chen, don’t be arrogant. Just accept the fact that I saved you,” Lu Hanshuang said.
“Saved me?” Ye Chen’s gaze suddenly turned toward a door and he said coldly, “Sorry, I don’t need to be saved!”
With that, Ye Chen’s body turned into a blur and appeared in front of the door. His true qi exploded and he threw a punch!
The door shattered, and wood shavings flew everywhere.
A man was actually hiding behind the door!
The man clearly had not expected Ye Chen to discover him. Without hesitation, a dagger appeared in his hand, which he thrust toward Ye Chen’s chest.
It was very fast!
However, Ye Chen was faster!
His eagle-like fingers directly grabbed that person’s neck.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the man was slammed into the ground, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
“Lu Hanshuang, remember this! There may be exceptions to defying the heavens, but there are none when defying me!”
