"Mr. Lin, you're amazing!"

Zhang Xiaoqin stared intently at Lin Li's body. How terrifying must this person's willpower be to have survived all these scars until now?

Of course, what surprised the three even more was that the new wound, which had been inflicted just two days ago, had already scabbed over, and the surrounding redness and swelling had subsided considerably.

This terrifying regenerative ability is simply inhuman!

Bai Nian'an had also seen Lin Li's medical records, but when she saw these scars with her own eyes, her heart still clenched painfully.

"Why are you crying?"

Lin Li glanced at Bai Nian'an, who was starting to cry, and smiled helplessly, "It's not a terminal illness for me, I'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Master, you must have been in a lot of pain before, right?"

Bai Nian'an's voice was choked with emotion.

She had no idea what a heavy past this seemingly carefree man carried.

"You get used to the pain after a while."

Lin Li said casually, his tone relaxed.

He glanced at the brother and sister who had inexplicably fallen into a frenzy, and raised an eyebrow: "Have you seen enough? If you have, get to work."

"Ah? Yes! Yes!"

"Boss! Don't worry!"

Zhang Xiaotian solemnly swore, "From now on, anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over our dead bodies first!"

"Alright, alright, stop bringing up corpses all the time, it's bad luck."

Lin Li waved his hand, and seeing the two of them looking so honest and persistent, his anger subsided considerably.

Seeing this, Bai Nian'an advised from the side, "Master, I think they are not bad people, just a bit simple-minded. Why don't we keep them?"

Lin Li sighed and finally relented: "Alright, for the sake of Xiao Zhang and Nian An, I'll reluctantly accept you."

"But let me make this clear from the start: there are many rules to follow."

"First, talk less and do more. Second, don't cause me trouble. Third, if I ever don't like you, you can all get out of here."

"Yes! Thank you, Brother Li!"

The two siblings were overjoyed and so excited that they almost knelt down again.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Bai Nian'an deliberately scolded, "Can't you see the floor is dirty? Clean it up right now!"

"Okay!"

The two siblings immediately sprang into action, one grabbing a broom and the other a mop, and began cleaning the ward with practiced ease. They were so diligent that they practically scrubbed the floor tiles until they were worn smooth.

Looking at these two clowns, Lin Li shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, you two go out and keep watch, don't let anyone in."

After cleaning up the wounds, Bai Nian'an sent the two siblings away.

"Yes, Dr. Bai!"

When the two heard Bai Nian'an call Lin Li "Master," they showed her great respect and went back to stand guard at the door.

"Master, there's still one spot where the medicine hasn't been applied."

Bai Nian'an lowered her head, holding a cotton swab soaked in ointment in her hand.

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized where she was referring to.

It was an abrasion on the inside of my thigh, in a rather awkward location, very close to a sensitive area.

"Um... I can do it myself."

Lin Li awkwardly reached out to take the cotton swab.

He wouldn't feel awkward if it were Su Qian and Lei Xiangqing doing it, but Bai Nian'an is his disciple.

"I'm the doctor, you're the patient, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Bai Nian'an dodged Lin Li's hand, coughed, and then said, "Besides, you can't see that spot yourself. What if you get infected?"

As she spoke, she lifted a corner of the blanket and gently parted Lin Li's legs.

Lin Li felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his body tensed up instantly.

He couldn't help but tremble slightly when the cotton swab touched that patch of skin.

Bai Nian'an clearly noticed Lin Li's reaction; her face turned slightly red, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.

But she didn't stop; instead, she applied the ointment even more carefully and gently.

The ward was so quiet that only the two of them could be heard breathing.

"Master..."

Bai Nian'an suddenly spoke, her voice somewhat unsteady.

"Um?"

Lin Li dared not move and could only stare at the ceiling.

Looking at you now, I suddenly feel a little regretful.

"Regret what? Regret applying the medicine to me?"

Lin Li made a joke, trying to ease the awkwardness between the two.

Bai Nian'an stopped what she was doing, looked up at Lin Li, and said in a complicated tone, "I regret becoming your disciple."

Lin Li was taken aback, then frowned and looked at her: "Why? Do you think I can't teach you?"

"No."

Bai Nian'an shook his head, looked intently at Lin Li, and said, word by word, "Because a teacher for a day is a father for life."

"With this master-disciple relationship, I can only be your disciple, and can only stand behind you and watch you."

"But Lin Li..."

Her fingers gently traced an old scar on Lin Li's inner thigh, her voice low: "I don't want to just stay behind you now."

……

After news spread that Lin Li had woken up and was alright, people came to visit him one after another.

Besides the people arranged by the municipal party committee, there were also many people who had previously received favors from Lin Li's family or wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with him.

In less than half a day, the outer room of the special care ward was piled high with gifts.

From health supplements and fruit baskets to pure gold ornaments, Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin, who were in charge of tidying up, were speechless with amazement.

Just after seeing off the grateful Mingxiao, Liu Dayao walked in with his trusted confidant, Juanmao.

"Mr. Li, it's good that you're awake! It's good that you're awake!"

Liu Dayao smiled as soon as he entered the door, but the smile aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to hiss involuntarily.

Lin Li leaned against the headboard, her gaze fixed on his face.

On Liu Dayao's left cheek, there were three bright red scratch marks, as if they had been made by a woman's fingernails. The wounds were still fresh, obviously they had been done not long ago.

"What happened to your face?"

Lin Li raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "You got into a fight with a woman?"

Liu Dayao's face turned somewhat embarrassed. He subconsciously covered his face with his hand and stammered, "N-nothing, I just accidentally got scratched by the cat."

"cat?"

Lin Li chuckled. "What cat has such powerful claws? It can scratch out shapes like that? Tell me the truth."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Liu Dayao sighed, waved for Curly to close the door, and then said with a bitter face, "It's Hongyu... she's the top public relations girl in our Wave Club."

"Red Jade?"

Lin Li frowned and asked, "Why is she scratching you? Is she rebelling?"

If you don't want to work here, you can just leave. He said before that Liu Dayao and the others were not allowed to force people to stay.

"Oh, Mr. Li."

Liu Dayao sat down to the side, looking worried, and said, "Recently, a new place called 'Paradise Gathering' opened in the south of the city. It has a powerful background, and I heard that the boss is from the provincial capital."

"They go all out to attract customers, and they offer high commissions to the girls."

"Although our business is booming because of your name, and no one dares to cause trouble, Hongyu and her gang have become wild."
