The Physician Tycoon

Ye Kai pushed open the door and saw Su Wan'er sitting at the table, her eyes slightly closed, her face as calm as water, intently striking the wooden fish.

She clearly heard Ye Kai come in, but he didn't even turn his head. He continued to strike the wooden fish and mutter incantations, though she couldn't tell what he was saying.

Ye Kai sat down opposite her and watched her tap.

Half an hour passed, and Su Wan'er was still focused on striking the wooden fish, as if Ye Kai was not in front of her.

Ye Kai was surprised by her composure. Could it be that she had already seen through the illusions of the world at such a young age?

Being locked in this house, surrounded by high walls, with no television or internet, it was a place completely isolated from the world.

Although it's in a bustling city, it's no different from a desolate mountain.

A stunningly beautiful woman in the prime of her life should be enjoying it to the fullest. How did she manage to live such a solitary life under the dim light of a lamp?

Another half hour passed before Su Wan'er finally stopped.

She poured herself a cup of tea and then poured another cup for Ye Kai.

"I need to meditate in peace, so please don't bother me anymore, sir."

"Excuse me, I'm curious about you and would like to know more about your situation."

"What do you want to know?"

"Are you Su Wan'er?"

Su Wan'er was taken aback, then immediately understood, "Did Zhang Ma tell you?"

Ye Kai nodded.

"What else did she tell you?"

"All I know is that your name is Su Wan'er and you are the leading actress of the Tao Opera Troupe."

"Anything else?"

"Aunt Zhang said you have a tragic fate, that you were taken away by Guo Dafu."

Su Wan'er raised an eyebrow. "Yes, I am Guo Dafu's concubine. You already know that, so what are you doing here?"

Why are you staying home and not going out?

"You see, this place is surrounded by high walls and deep courtyards, and the gate is locked. I can't get out."

"No, if you want to go out, you can go out when Aunt Zhang delivers the food."

Su Wan'er smiled slightly, knowing that the young man in front of her was not easily fooled.

"Yes, you're right, I really don't want to go out."

"You're like you're in prison here, why don't you get out?"

"As long as your heart is not free, anywhere feels like being in prison."

Ye Kai pondered these words, and they certainly made sense.

"I have good news for you. Guo Dafu is finished. You're free!"

Su Wan'er asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"

"He was killed by his enemy and is currently in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment. Even if he doesn't die, he'll be a cripple."

Su Wan'er's eyes were lowered, her face as still as water.

"He's committed countless evils; I knew he'd end up like this!" Then, changing the subject...

"However, whether he lives or dies is no longer my concern."

"Why? Wasn't it Guo Dafu who locked you up here?"

"Of course not."

"Who exactly locked you up here?"

"Guo Tingting".

Ye Kai was surprised. "Why did Guo Tingting lock you up here?"

"Because her mother died."

"Did you kill him?"

Su Wan'er shook her head.

"If you didn't kill her, why is she blaming you?"

Su Wan'er sighed, "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

"What do you mean?"

"I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time. Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

Su Wan'er took a graceful sip of tea, lost in memories.

"That was five years ago. After Guo Dafu saw my performance, he pursued me relentlessly."

I knew this person well and that he had a very dissolute lifestyle, so I firmly rejected him.

But he didn't give up. He bribed the head of our troupe and treated our troupe to dinner after one of our performances.

I didn't want to go at first, but I couldn't resist the group leader's insistence. Also, considering that we were all going together, Guo Dafu couldn't do such a shameful thing in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, Guo Dafu drugged my drink, and I got drunk after just one cup.

The group leader and his men took me to a hotel room to rest, where Guo Dafu took the opportunity to humiliate me.

Afterwards, he repeatedly apologized to me, saying that he did it because he liked me so much.

He had already defiled my innocence, so I had no choice but to accept him.

I thought he would treat me well as he said, but little did I know he had a wife at home, who was Guo Tingting's mother.

To win my favor, he heartlessly abandoned Guo Tingting's mother, who, unable to cope, committed suicide by drowning.

From then on, Guo Tingting hated me and locked me up here.

I feel guilty towards her, so I'm chanting scriptures here to pray for her mother's soul and to repent for myself!

Su Wan'er spoke at length, and two clear tears slid down her cheeks.

"So that's how it is. All this tragedy was caused by Guo Dafu, and has nothing to do with you."

Guo Dafu has already received the punishment he deserved, so you shouldn't blame yourself anymore.

You should forget the past and start over!

"I've been here for over four years and I've gotten used to it. I think it's pretty good here. There's no backstabbing or scheming. I don't want to go out anymore. I'll just spend the rest of my life here."

Ye Kai advised, "You're still so young, how can you spend your life in this cage-like courtyard? Don't you miss your family?"

Su Wan'er gave a bitter smile. "Family? I have no family left!"

"What happened to your family?"

"My parents were both famous opera singers. Because I married into the Guo family, they suffered discrimination and were so saddened that they fell ill and passed away one after the other."

"Oh, how could this happen? Please accept my condolences, sister."

"It's okay, it's been a long time. Every time I think about them, I feel even sadder."

"If they didn't have a good-for-nothing daughter like me, perhaps they wouldn't have left this world so early."

"Beauty is truly fleeting!"

"Sir is right." Su Wan'er stared intently at Ye Kai.

Ye Kai felt uneasy under her gaze: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I see you're destined for many romantic entanglements; you'll likely get caught up in a lot of complicated relationships with women."

"You can read faces?" Ye Kai looked at Su Wan'er with suspicion.

"Since I had nothing to do, I picked up a few books on divination and started reading them."

"What books does your sister read?"

Books like the *I Ching*, *Tui Bei Tu*, *Plum Blossom Divination*, and *Golden Strategy*.

Ye Kai exclaimed, "Sister, you're amazing! These books are like divine scriptures!"

Su Wan'er said modestly, "It's nothing. I was just looking around. I'm not knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography. I can probably only predict your next ten years."

Ye Kai's heart skipped a beat; he wondered if Su Wan'er was exaggerating.

There's no need to calculate for ten years; three years is enough.

If she could figure out where the other six Rainbow Sisters are, wouldn't that save her a lot of trouble?
