Gradually, Gu Yuebai felt that he had recovered a lot, and he was able to sit up straight again.

"Get up quickly." Gu Yuebai still looked exhausted, and slightly raised her hand.

"Zhou Rong, the place you're living in is terrible. You need to move out as soon as possible, otherwise, I can only save you temporarily, not permanently. This time, I've done everything I can."

He suddenly said to Song Lan, "Oh, right. Get three doses of the medicine you just gave Zhou Rong as well. Let her take it for now, and come back tomorrow or the day after so I can give you acupuncture."

The last sentence was naturally directed at Zhou Rong.

"I'm guessing your husband might have a similar situation, only his is probably milder than yours?"

Zhou Rong nodded repeatedly: "My husband has some small sores on his arms. I thought it was from cement or something getting on them and causing corrosion."

Gu Yuebai shook his head and said seriously, "Someone must have died at your construction site, right?"

Zhou Rong stared blankly at Gu Yuebai, completely unable to believe that these secrets were strictly forbidden to be divulged on the construction site.

How did you know?

Seeing Zhou Rong's expression, Gu Yuebai knew he had guessed correctly, and he didn't say anything.

"Sister Lan, you take them home. I need to rest for a while."

Song Lan calmed down and led everyone back outside. Following Gu Yuebai's prescription, she got the medicine for Zhou Rong and her daughter and then sent them away.

Seeing that the situation had been resolved and there was nothing more for them to do, the two police officers left. The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed.

Song Lan had lost interest in running the business, so she simply closed her doors to customers.

She returned to the consultation room, poured Gu Yuebai a glass of water, and came to his side.

"How are you? Why do you look so tired?"

"The technique I've learned isn't ordinary acupuncture; it requires using qi to guide the needles, which naturally consumes a lot of mental energy." Gu Yuebai took the water glass and took a sip.

In the medical community, there are indeed rumors about acupuncture therapy that uses Qi to guide needles, but Song Lan had never seen it before.

She knew this must be Gu Yuebai's family secret technique, which was not convenient to pass on to outsiders, so she simply didn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you so much for today."

"Why thank me? It's what I should do."

Gu Yuebai was more than happy to have such a good deed to do.

Just now, the power of faith from Zhou Rong and Ji Lianhua almost boosted his level.

He was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the second level of Qi Refining.

"Hey, I came to the clinic last time too. I didn't mean to ruin your plans; I was just angry. Now that I think about it, you were pretty innocent too."

Gu Yuebai wanted to explain, but Song Lan interrupted, "I'm already divorced. It was the very night you came to tell me."

"He hit me, and then we got divorced." Song Lan naturally didn't mention that Hu Zhiwei had forced her into a relationship, as it was pointless.

That Hu Zhiwei, that beast in human form, how could he be so heartless? He could even bring himself to hit such a beautiful woman?

Gu Yuebai clenched her fists and said angrily, "That beast, is he even human?"

"What kind of person is he? He's just a beast in human form. A year after we got married, he found out I couldn't have children, so he started having affairs. After I found out, we haven't had sex since. He's become even more brazen. He used to do it behind my back, but now he brings it home."

Gu Yuebai pressed further, "You knew all along, so why didn't you divorce him?"

Song Lan gave a bitter smile and said, "I come from a family of doctors, but my parents divorced. I lived with my mother since I was little, but as I grew up, she chose to remarry. This clinic was set up for me with money from Hu Zhiwei. I didn't catch Hu Zhiwei cheating, and he wanted me to leave with nothing, which I naturally disagreed with."

Tears streaming down her face, she cried, "If you hadn't stumbled upon their affair, he might not have given in so easily this time. We went to finalize the divorce on the third day. He gave me thirty million and this clinic."

Unable to control himself, Gu Yuebai reached out and embraced Song Lan's delicate body, stroking her pretty face and wiping away her tears with his own hands.

"It's better that you've broken up. From now on, the world is vast and open. You can abandon that one flower and have a whole forest."

Song Lan forced a smile but didn't say anything. She nestled in Gu Yuebai's arms and said, "I'm thirty now, not a little girl anymore, almost an old woman."

Gu Yuebai hugged Song Lan tightly and said sincerely, "Sister Lan is not old at all. Sister Lan is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She is graceful and elegant, and her beauty is unparalleled."

"Tch, just saying nice things. Did you say that to your girlfriend too?" Song Lan straightened up.

"I broke up with her a long time ago. I regret ever being so blind to be that vain woman!"

"Pfft, who compares themselves to a dog?" Song Lan laughed brightly, a very happy laugh.

She stared at Gu Yuebai and said sincerely, "Actually, you're a good person. You're serious about your work, responsible, and don't like to meddle in other people's business. At Yunlu Mansion, the security guards aren't as diligent as you."

"I was being silly," Gu Yuebai said helplessly.

"Fools sometimes have good luck," Song Lan said.

"Like now? A beautiful woman in your arms?" Gu Yuebai hugged Song Lan again, unwilling to let go.

"I've been married before, and I'm no longer some innocent young girl. You and I aren't a good match." Song Lan lay in his arms without struggling.

"At least, you're a million times better than Li Siyi. She's innocent, but what's the use of being innocent with someone else?" Gu Yuebai only regretted not ruining the reputation of that despicable couple.

Song Lan let Gu Yuebai hold her without saying a word.

"Sister Lan, don't worry. I will avenge you. That beast Hu Zhiwei will get his comeuppance eventually," Gu Yuebai said fiercely.

Song Lan stood up and pressed, "What exactly is wrong with Zhou Rong and her daughter?"

"That's not an illness, it's a curse." Gu Yuebai remained tight-lipped and didn't say much to Song Lan.

"煞? What 煞?" Song Lan wanted to get to the bottom of it. She came from a family of doctors and was naturally very interested in illnesses.

"Sister Lan, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but you wouldn't understand anyway. Tomorrow, if you're not scared, come with me to Imperial View Mansion. You'll find the answers you're looking for there."

"Imperial View Mansion?" Song Lan pondered and said, "That's a newly opened residential complex. It's even more expensive than Yunlu Mansion. I heard they're going to build the most luxurious villa area in the entire Yun City."

"The developer is a big boss from the coast, supposedly very wealthy. And the construction company is a very reputable, large corporation. How could there be problems in a place like that?"

Gu Yuebai shook his head; he had no idea.

He didn't actually want to get involved in this mess, because things weren't as simple as he thought. Since the other party was able to set up this scheme, it was very likely that the other party was also a superhuman.

Gu Yuebai is just a beginner who has just entered the realm of cultivation, and he may not be able to defeat his opponent.
