Chapter 91: Zhou Danzhuang Is Kidnapped

Li Yueyao bit her lower lip and glanced back at Ye Fei, a trace of inferiority in her eyes. “Don’t be afraid…”

Ye Fei rubbed the bridge of his nose and shook his head slightly. “Why would I be?”

“That’s good.”

Li Yueyao nodded, deeply moved. Then, clenching her teeth, she threw herself into Ye Fei’s arms and pressed her bare upper body against him.

“Damn it!”

Ye Fei jumped in alarm, his face freezing in place.

“Ye Fei…”

“You’ve done so much for my family. I…I have nothing to thank you with. Take me.”

“Back then, at Sun Shiyun’s house, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have mocked you. I didn’t know you were a good person.”

Her voice was full of remorse.

Ye Fei rubbed his nose. Though he was usually rather roguish, he would not lose his composure in a situation like this. With utter seriousness, he said, “I’m a successor of socialism. I wouldn’t take advantage of someone in distress.”

“I don’t believe that.”

“I’m not worse than Sun Shiyun, am I?”

“You…you wouldn’t despise me, would you?”

Li Yueyao bit her lip lightly, blinking up at him with watery eyes.

As she spoke, her jade-white hand was already reaching downward.

Just then—

“All right.”

“Stop it, Yueyao.”

Ye Fei let out a soft laugh and said calmly, “Let’s leave it here.”

Li Yueyao’s body trembled.

Ye Fei shook his head. “You’re a good girl. What I’m doing isn’t very honorable.”

With that, he reached out and helped Li Yueyao stand, then turned his back to her. “Put your clothes on.”

Li Yueyao hurriedly picked up her clothes and dressed, lowering her head in disappointment.

Ye Fei turned around, lit a cigarette for himself, and asked with a smile, “So, do you still want this illness treated?”

“Yes!”

“Of course I do!”

Li Yueyao nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ye Fei could not help but pause, then smiled and shook his head.

“All right, then I’ll give you acupuncture.”

Li Yueyao sat up straight and once more gathered her clothes in front of her, though this time she did not take them off.

“Mm.”

Ye Fei nodded, took up two silver needles, rubbed them between his fingers, and in the blink of an eye gently inserted them into the middle of Li Yueyao’s back.

Li Yueyao let out a soft cry, and before long cold sweat had broken out across her forehead.

“Bear with it.”

“It may hurt a little.”

About ten minutes later,

Ye Fei removed the silver needles and tossed them into the trash, then instructed her, “Remember, you mustn’t bathe again within three days, and you mustn’t catch a chill.”

“Understood!”

Li Yueyao nodded hard. Just as she was about to rise, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her waist, and then a strange, soothing sensation spread across her entire back.

“This…” She looked astonished.

“The medicine’s effect, combined with the needles. It’s normal,” Ye Fei said. “Don’t be surprised. If you were only taking medicine, you wouldn’t see results this quickly.”

“Amazing!”

“I feel so much more refreshed!”

Li Yueyao looked at Ye Fei, her face full of awe and admiration. She could not help asking, “Ye Fei, you’re incredible. Did you study medicine before?”

“I learned a bit from my master.”

Ye Fei grinned.

“Th-then can you teach me some medicine?”

“Now?”

“Yes! I can start learning right now!”

Li Yueyao nodded again and again, brimming with expectation.

“Then…all right.” Ye Fei stroked his chin and said, “I’ll teach you something simple, like acupuncture—for example, the Blind Needling of the Three Yin Channels.”

“The Blind Needling of the Three Yin Channels?” Li Yueyao pointed at her own chin in confusion. “What…what is that?”

“The so-called Blind Needling of the Three Yin Channels is a method for diagnosing through acupuncture, and it can also be used to treat some common illnesses. By stimulating three acupoints with silver needles, one can smooth the qi and blood and expel impurities with ease.”

“It’s especially beneficial for women.”

Ye Fei explained with a smile.

This technique was naturally one of the medical arts his master had passed on to him, though it was only of an introductory level. There was no harm in teaching it to Li Yueyao.

“Good, good, I’ll learn this one!”

Li Yueyao’s eyes lit up, her interest piqued.

Ye Fei was not stingy either and was just about to take out the silver needles for a lesson when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it; it was Lin Qiqing calling.

“You…take the call first,” Li Yueyao said considerately.

After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Fei did not refuse and pressed to answer.

“Hello?”

Putting the phone to his ear, Ye Fei spoke softly.

But an anxious voice came from the other end. “Ye Fei, can you go to Haotian Bar?”

“Duan Zhuang has had an accident!”

Had an accident?

Ye Fei frowned, and Zhou Duanzhuang’s pale body surfaced in his mind. Unable to help himself, he asked, “An accident? What kind of accident?”

“I don’t know. She sent me a text asking me to come help. It should be that she got into a conflict with someone at the bar and ran into some trouble, but I have a meeting I have to attend right now. Please go take a look for me!”

“Can you?”

Lin Qiqing’s voice was urgent.

Ye Fei hesitated, but still did not refuse. After answering, he hung up.

“What’s wrong, Ye Fei?” Li Yueyao asked curiously. “Did something happen?”

“A friend of mine…ran into trouble and wants me to go take a look.” Ye Fei shrugged and smiled. “Looks like I can only teach you medicine next time, Yueyao.”

“It’s all right.”

“Go on.”

“I’ll wait for you.”

With her hands clasped behind her back, Li Yueyao smiled sweetly. Before Ye Fei could even respond, she rose on tiptoe and planted a quick kiss on his cheek, pecking him like a little chick.

“Be careful!”

Ye Fei froze, rooted to the spot.

“You…”

“Why are you still standing there?”

“Go on, hurry up.”

Li Yueyao’s face turned crimson under his gaze.

She quickly raised her hand and pushed Ye Fei out the door.

Only after he left the residential complex did the pounding of his heart finally settle down.

He touched his cheek, where a bright lipstick mark was especially obvious. Even by its shade alone, it looked deliciously alluring.

“That woman.”

He shook his head helplessly.

By now, night had fallen.

Ye Fei hailed a taxi and, following the address Lin Qiqing had given him, made his way to the so-called Haotian Bar.

The place was grand indeed.

And being located in the city center, it was probably not the kind of venue just anyone could keep open.

At that moment—

Outside the bar,

Police cordons had already been set up.

Ambulances were carrying the injured out one after another.

A crowd of officers had also gathered at the scene.

Seeing this, Ye Fei frowned and casually grabbed a fellow who looked like a passerby. “What happened in there, bro?”

“Oh, nothing much. I heard two gangs of punks fought here, pulling knives and guns. Then a female officer came to mediate, but she ended up being kidnapped by a bunch of people no one knows where from!”

What?

At those words,

gooseflesh erupted all over Ye Fei’s body.
