Chapter 22: Don’t Get Too Close to Me (Second Update)

Cheng Shan replied, "Yes, my colleague Du Liangong has always been jealous of my medical skills, thinking mine were better than his. Especially with the promotion to director, he has looked down on me at every turn. If I die, he benefits the most."

Ying Shu knew about Du Liangong: "After your death, Du Liangong was promoted to director."

Cheng Shan sneered, "I knew he’d be the next director. If I hadn’t stepped down, he would never have gotten the position in his lifetime."

"In a few days, my younger brother and the others need to be re-admitted for check-ups. I’ll help you investigate then to see if it’s really him. There’s another matter—the Special Investigation Bureau wants to restore the Recovery Pill."

Cheng Shan said, "There’s no shortage of Recovery Pills, but only if they can take good care of my wife and children, protect them well. I’m worried that if the investigation points to Du Liangong, he might take revenge on my family."

[Notification—You have received 2 Recovery Pills gifted by Cheng Shan. Do you accept?]

"I only have two Recovery Pills at the moment. The rest of the medicines will be given to you once I’ve settled things."

Ying Shu accepted the pills: "I will inform the Special Investigation Bureau about your situation."

"I’ve had one question I wanted to ask you. You killed so many people today—are you afraid? Do you feel any psychological pressure, guilt, or remorse?"

"No feelings whatsoever."

Before going, Ying Shu had anticipated the possibility of having to kill, so she mentally prepared herself, treating the cultivation world like a game.

Or perhaps it was because the Ying family dealt in death-related business and had seen countless corpses, so she bore no psychological burden from killing. Besides, if she didn’t act, she would have been the one who died.

"I was worried you might feel burdened and didn’t tell you the truth before. Actually, the power of the 'Nose Booger' is immense—equivalent to an atomic bomb. Though atomic bombs may not harm cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, the Nose Booger could even reduce those undergoing Tribulation to ashes. Its range is vast; you must use it cautiously."

Cheng Shan still had to evade pursuers, so he didn’t chat much more with Ying Shu.

Eager to feed Ying Li the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Ying Shu decided not to sleep. She got up early to cook porridge for everyone.

Unfortunately, her mother had left early yesterday morning, or else she would have given her a pill too.

Once she got the money from selling the gold and silver jewelry, she planned to reveal everything to her mother so she wouldn’t have to worry about medical expenses anymore.

After putting a Marrow Cleansing Pill into Ying Li’s porridge, Ying Shu took Xixi to the hospital. Before they arrived, Ying Xing called with good news—Ying Li had recovered and could get out of bed and walk by himself. She was especially happy.

After Xixi finished her treatment, they went to Cheng Shan’s home and witnessed Jiang Yu and the others taking the pills before leaving.

Then, they hurried to buy an electric bike. By the time they returned to West Avenue Street, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. From afar, they saw Ying Li carrying a large bag of vegetables, strolling leisurely down the street, smiling and greeting everyone, whether he knew them or not.

In the past, neighbors would barely respond, but today was different. Everyone was surprised, watching Ying Li intently.

Just over ten days ago, they saw Ying Li being helped out of the hospital and supported as he got off the car to go home. Now, in such a short time, his face was radiant, looking twenty years younger, with far fewer wrinkles.

"Mr. Ying, weren’t you paralyzed on one side? Are you healed now?"

"Mr. Ying, did you take some kind of miraculous medicine to recover?"

"Mr. Ying, which hospital did you go to? I have a relative who has been paralyzed for years without improvement. I want to know where you got treated."

Within moments, a dozen people gathered around Ying Li, all asking about how to cure strokes.

Ying Li waved them away, "Go away, don’t come too close or talk to me. If you bring bad luck, don’t blame me."

The neighbors were left speechless...
