I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

"Sisi, why did you let me sneak in?"

Chu Yang sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead on the bedside table.

Lu Sisi was a little embarrassed. She pouted and shrugged her shoulders, but the straps of her nightgown slipped down unintentionally.

"I...I think I've messed up. Look!"

She lifted her hands from under the covers.

Chu Yang's eyes widened immediately.

Lü Sisi's hands turned the color of withered wood.

Chu Yang no longer hesitated and quickly sat on the edge of the bed, taking the pulse while examining the two grotesque little hands.

"When did it start?"

Lu Sisi sniffled, feeling wronged. "On the way home from the law enforcement station, my nails started to change color, and then the tips. I was terrified and didn't dare tell my dad, so I ran back into the house. Now the discoloration has spread to my wrists."

Chu Yang's expression became more serious.

He determined that the withered yin body had absorbed a large amount of true qi, and Lü Sisi was unable to integrate the remaining foreign true qi, thus causing a backlash.

As long as she stops using this method of absorbing other people's true energy, it will no longer harm her health. But which girl can accept turning her whole body into the color of withered wood?

"Sisi, your condition doesn't affect your health too much, it just greatly affects your appearance. I'll teach you martial arts, so that you can..."

Before Chu Yang could finish speaking, Lü Sisi seemed to guess what he was going to say and immediately shook her head vigorously.

"No, no, no, I won't learn that kind of thing. Dear brother, can you save me?"

Chu Yang looked somewhat troubled.

"It's not a big problem, but I can't always be by your side."

In fact, Chu Yang wasn't telling the truth. Even for him, this kind of treatment would cause him to lose all his power in at least three days.

However, he vaguely felt that Lü Sisi seemed to be able to sense his thoughts every time, so the thought only flashed through his mind.

He didn't want Lü Sisi to give up treatment because of this.

A hint of joy flashed in Lü Sisi's bright eyes. She snuggled close to Chu Yang, took his arm, and said sweetly, "Good brother, I want you to treat my illnesses every time. If you're busy, I'll just turn into a dry twig."

Chu Yang: "..."

At the same time, several cars were parked in front of the mansion gate.

Lu Wenguang and Lu Yaozu didn't wait for Gu Ao to get out of the car before hurrying into the gate.

The gatekeeper said he hadn't seen Chu Yang come, and Lü Wenguang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He could tell that Gu Yuanqiao now suspected Chu Yang, and he was basically certain in his heart that Chu Yang had killed Gu Chen. He just couldn't understand how Chu Yang could "split himself up".

If Chu Yang were really with Lü Sisi in the middle of the night, Gu Yuanqiao would have some suspicions.

The crucial point is that there's a very serious problem ahead—Chu Yang is finished!

Moreover, based on the source of this information, it is unlikely to be wrong.

If that's the case, everything he did will not only be in vain, but he may even suffer consequences because of it.

Lu Yaozu sensed his father's thoughts and said in a low voice, "Dad, I think it's time to completely sever ties with Chu Yang."

Lu Wenguang frowned. "Why?"

Lu Yaozu analyzed, "The situation is beyond our control! We definitely can't rely on him to treat Sisi's illness. If we cause a rift with the provincial governor because of this, we'll suffer an even greater loss."

Lu Wenguang glanced at the son he had raised with his own hands, shook his head and sighed:

"We've already broken ties with Chu Yang once, and we've just repaired our relationship. Now you're saying such things. Doesn't that make us look like fickle, opportunistic people? Let's not bring this up again."

Lu Yaozu sighed, "Dad, Sisi has feelings for Chu Yang. If Chu Yang hadn't been crippled and could still hold onto his position as the Secret Inspector, I wouldn't say anything. As long as Sisi is happy, that's all that matters."

"But Chu Yang is a cripple now. He's been to prison and is a son-in-law of a family on the verge of bankruptcy. If we don't cut ties with Chu Yang immediately, and things continue to escalate, we'll become a laughing stock in the entire Donghai. We might also offend the provincial governor, the Murong family, and the powerful families of Donghai. It would be a huge loss."

As the president of a bank, Lü Yaozu was more pragmatic than those company bosses, prioritizing profit above all else.

Lu Wenguang had naturally considered all these consequences, but he still shook his head.

"Sometimes, you can't just look at the immediate situation when you do things. Otherwise, you'll become a complete opportunist chasing fame and fortune. However, Sisi and Chuyang are indeed not suitable for each other; he's a married man. I need to have a good talk with Sisi."

The city magistrate's residence is a traditional Chinese courtyard house. Lü Sisi prefers quiet, and her room is located in a secluded little garden in the back courtyard.

As soon as the father and son arrived at the door, they heard Lu Sisi and Chu Yang's voices coming from inside.

Inside the room, Lü Sisi, whose armpit had just been pricked by Chu Yang with silver needles, was now clamping her arms together, refusing to let Chu Yang continue to prick her with needles.

"Good brother, it hurts so much, I was bleeding just now."

Chu Yang helplessly advised, "Listen to me! Don't squeeze it. Otherwise, I won't be able to insert it."

Lu Sisi was still very afraid of pain and kept shaking her head, "No! Unless you promise me you'll be gentle this time!"

Chu Yang was anxious because this acupuncture treatment had a limited duration of effectiveness, and the interval between two needles could not be too long.

"Okay, okay! I'll be gentler this time."

Lu Wenguang, standing outside the door, was pale and trembling all over.

To him, the events inside were completely different from what actually happened.

Lu Yaozu was furious.

"You beast! I'm going to kill him!"

Lu Wenguang grabbed Lu Yaozu and turned to walk back.

"Dad, what are you doing? That beast is bullying Sisi!"

Lu Yaozu looked at his father with a puzzled expression.

Once they reached the garden gate, Lü Wenguang finally released his son and let out a heavy sigh.

"It's all...it's all already...sigh...what's the point of you going in now? Besides, it was Sisi's own choice. What if we rush in and see something we shouldn't? How will we get along with my daughter and your sister after that? What if Sisi throws a tantrum, runs away from home, and moves in with Chu Yang?"

Lu Wenguang's rapid-fire remarks completely stunned Lu Yaozu.

Thinking about it carefully, what my dad said does make sense.

"Then...what should we do? We can't just let this happen, can we? Chu Yang must have taken advantage of Sisi's youth and naivety to deceive her! Chu Yang deserves to die!"

Just then, Gu Ao arrived with his Dragon Shadow Guards.

Lu Wenguang was taken aback. He knew he absolutely couldn't let the Dragon Shadow people know what had happened inside.

"Commander Gu, my daughter is already asleep. Chu Yang is not in the manor."

Gu Ao glanced at the room with the lights on in front of him.

"Does your daughter have a habit of sleeping with the lights on?"

Lu Yaozu stepped forward, his face displeased, and said, "Commander, my sister's private habits are not for outsiders to discuss. Please leave!"

Gu Ao was also in a bit of a dilemma at this moment.

According to his intelligence, Chu Yang should be inside the mansion.

But it's really inconvenient to go to the boudoir of the mayor's daughter in the middle of the night to arrest someone, especially since we have no evidence or proof.

The key issue is that he was just scolded by the governor on the phone because of the 100 million yuan medical fee. The governor also said that Chu Yang was a liar and that he should be taken back and interrogated properly.

Just then, a low murmur, evoking countless fantasies, came from inside the house.

After being pricked under her armpits three times, Lü Sisi was in excruciating pain and refused to continue.

"Ah...I...I can't do it anymore, let's do it tomorrow! Please...please!"

Everyone in the courtyard stared in disbelief, swallowing hard.

The faces of the Lü father and son turned ashen, wishing they could disappear into the ground.

Gu Ao glanced at the embarrassed Lü Wenguang. "Sir, is Miss Lü... talking in her sleep?"

He guessed what had happened inside, but since Lu Wenguang was the mayor, he had to give him face, so he simply offered him a way out.

Lu Wenguang seized the opportunity to back down, "Oh! Yes, yes, yes! My daughter has had a habit of talking in her sleep since she was little, so she always sleeps with the light on."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

The rest of the Dragon Shadow Guards rolled their eyes inwardly countless times.

"That's it? Seriously, can't you find a more reliable way to save face?"

Gu Ao also wanted to get away from this troublesome place as soon as possible, and now that the mayor was blocking his way, it was a good opportunity to escape.

He quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"In that case, I will take my men and leave first. If there is any news about Chu Yang, please inform the mayor."

Lu Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned the greeting.

"Commander Gu, please wait."

Just as Gu Ao and the Dragon Shadow Guards were about to leave, Lü Sisi's door opened.

Chu Yang was panting heavily as he walked out, wiping the sweat from his forehead; he was clearly exhausted.

Wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown with a silk robe draped over it, Lü Sisi followed behind with a guilty expression.

Her delicate face was flushed, and she radiated a lingering sense of enjoyment, her eyes filled with a reluctant light.

Everyone: "..."
