Chapter 274 - Danger Was Approaching
He had been practicing medicine for over ten years and had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
“Well then, I'll leave it in your capable hands. Please proceed with your work!”
Just then, Jia Renjie's chilling voice cut through the air, causing the two doctors to involuntarily shudder.
The doctors glanced over Jia Renjie's shoulder, a flicker of fear in their eyes, before they responded with anxious respect.
“Mr. Jia, you're too kind. We're simply fulfilling our responsibilities.”
“We'll take our leave now and won't impose on you any further,” they said.
With that, they quickly turned and made their exit.
Jia Renjie's presence was overwhelming, his aura cold and unsettling, leaving the doctors eager to escape his company.
?Once alone, Jia Renjie stood gazing out the window, lost in thought.
The light from the hospital corridor cast a glow on him, somehow making his surroundings seem even more stifling.
It was then that Jia Renjie's icy voice echoed quietly.
“Ying, what's the status of the investigation?”
?”The investigation is complete, young master,” came a voice from the side, as a figure cloaked in black materialized.
Without turning, Jia Renjie commanded curtly, “Report.”
?”Understood,” replied the figure in the black robe.
?”Today, the Second Young Master brought flowers to the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern. Initially, Xue Zixi did not meet with him as she was entertaining a guest.
Later, the Second Young Master burst in and confronted Xue Zixi.
He also discovered that Xue Zixi was meeting with a high school student, which led to a dispute between them.
Xue Zixi appeared to hold this student in high regard, to the point of demanding an apology from the Second Young Master.
The Second Young Master refused, lashing out at the student, which only angered him further.
Subsequently, the Second Young Master was swiftly taken down by the student with a single move. Despite invoking the Jia Family's name, the high school student seemed unphased by the threat.”
Perhaps it was ignorance!
He then gave the Second Young Master a black pill, which he referred to as the “itch and itch pill.”
……
For a while, the figure recounted the scene with impeccable detail, as if he had witnessed it firsthand.
?Jia Renjie listened in silence, and for a brief moment, a hush fell over the area.
After some time, Jia Renjie spoke again.
“Xue Zixi?”
“If my brother is so fond of you, then you shall become my sister-in-law.”
“Tell the Second Brother of the Xue family that the Jia Family is open to collaboration, with one condition: Xue Zixi.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The Black-cloaked Man behind him acknowledged the command.
Jia Renjie's voice then filled the room once more.
“Jiang Hao?”
“Ah, the valedictorian of the college entrance exam?”
“Notify him to come, one kneel at a time, with the antidote to the hospital as his apology!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The Black-cloaked Man confirmed the order.
“Very well, off you go to attend to your duties!”
With that, Jia Renjie spoke, and the Black-cloaked Man vanished into the shadows.
Gazing out the window at the lively city, Jia Renjie murmured to himself.
“Tonight, sleep will elude me.”
……
Meanwhile, at the Jiang residence, after dinner, the family settled down to watch TV together.
Suddenly, Jiang Hao experienced a piercing headache, followed by an involuntary tensing of his muscles.
He swiftly rose and switched off the lights, plunging the room into darkness. Jiang’s father, Jiang’s mother, and Jiang Zixuan were instantly filled with confusion and concern.
“Hao Hao, what are you doing turning off the lights?”
