Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 152: Your Face

Liu Zhenzhu was both intrigued and shocked by the turn of events.

She heard the doctor ask, "How was it before?"

"It was fine before, everything was normal every day." Li Ninghua was worried sick, saying that it all started after encountering Jiang Xingye and his partner, being falsely accused and taken to the police station, and that’s when these abnormalities began.

Could it be psychological factors?

The doctor listened to the story but remained noncommittal, "Anything is possible, men’s issues are often related to emotions. I’ll first check it out."

Ma Zilan and Li Zhiguo were then driven out, and Li Zhiguo slapped Ma Zilan hard across the face, "Bitch! If it wasn’t for your damned son, would my son be like this?"

How will the Li family’s lineage continue in the future?

Since Ma Zilan returned, she hasn’t had a shortage of beatings. She doesn’t blame Li Zhiguo and his son, only Jiang Xingye.

After all, when Li Zhiguo used to hit her, it wasn’t as frequent as now.

"Even if you beat me to death now, it’s useless." Ma Zilan cried, holding her face, "I also don’t want to see Ninghua suffer. What can I do? Do you not know that brat’s temper? He’s grown older, married a wife, would he still listen to his mother?"

Li Zhiguo shouted, "If Ninghua can’t find a wife, you make that bastard Jiang Xingye give the educated youth girl to him!"

Ma Zilan replied, "A worn-out shoe, how could she be worthy of Ninghua!"

Li Zhiguo said, "Ninghua likes her, who cares if she’s worthy or not. When Ninghua loses interest, just drive her away."

Ma Zilan quickly said, "Okay, once Ninghua recovers, I’ll arrange it."

Li Zhiguo, biting his teeth, slapped her again, "Idiot, if Ninghua gets better, would he still want that worn-out shoe?"

Liu Zhenzhu listened to everything, thinking, Xu Qinghuan really predicted it right. Is Xu Qinghuan really that capable, knowing just by a glance that Li Ninghua is useless?

She returned to the ward where Song Yanqing was doing rounds and asked Zhao Hongbing, "How are you feeling today?"

The poison from the Flame Insect in Zhao Hongbing’s body had gradually lessened over time. He finally got a good night’s sleep, but upon waking, he found himself weak and unable to stand steadily.

His strength seemed totally depleted.

"All the physical metrics are normal. If you stay here, there’s nothing more we can do. I suggest discharge," Song Yanqing said while taking notes.

Zhao Hongbing was startled, struggling to get up, but couldn’t muster any strength, "Doctor, I can’t even stand up."

Song Yanqing checked his pulse for a while, it was normal but nothing was abnormal, "The poison has mostly been extracted, and all we can give you here is some glucose. With that money, you’d be better off buying a chicken to nourish yourself."

Zhao Hongbing refused to leave, "No, if you haven’t cured me, I won’t be discharged. I can hardly get out of bed and you won’t treat me. Are you even human?"

Song Yanqing gave him a stern look, "Then we can’t cure you. I can help you with transfer procedures to a city hospital for treatment."

Zhao Hongbing struggled and fell off the bed. With Liu Zhenzhu’s help, he stood up slowly. If she exerted a little force, he would fall again. His complexion appeared normal but he just couldn’t gather any strength.

"Son, the doctor has a point. Maybe we should go home and nourish you a bit. If that doesn’t work, we’ll ask Xu the educated youth for help. Isn’t Xu’s medical skill better than this hospital’s?"

Liu Zhenzhu didn’t want to spend any more unnecessary money.

Spending three to five yuan a day amounts to working for half a year for nothing for the whole family over a few days.

Thinking of Xu Qinghuan, Zhao Hongbing nodded and finally agreed to be discharged.

Ma Zilan happened to pass by the ward door and witnessed the whole scene.

In the next ward, Lu Nianying was shocked at Song Wanlin’s appearance, "Mom, your face!"

Her mother had never looked so haggard, her face seemed to have aged ten years.

Song Wanlin took a mirror and was so frightened that she threw it away. Covering her face, she shouted, "Doctor, doctor! Someone, take a look, what’s going on, why is it still like this?"

Song Yanqing came over and took her temperature, "The fever’s gone. The few days of fever made your body a bit dehydrated. Just drink more and rest!"

Song Wanlin instinctively felt it wasn’t that simple but had lost confidence in the local hospital’s standards. She needed to quickly return to Yan City and see a famous expert to get her skin back to normal.

Liao Yongqiang came over, and Song Wanlin asked Lu Nianying to leave for a private conversation.

Liao Yongqiang said, "Those two haven’t returned. We sent people to look, but there’s still no news."

Song Wanlin didn’t believe those two would run without completing their mission. They were meticulously trained by the Lu Family and very loyal.

"What did Old Lu instruct you? Is it their lives or..." Song Wanlin put on a hat, pressing the brim very low. Over the years of careful maintenance, her illness had damaged her skin, but she still didn’t look older than peers.

But such a state was unacceptable to Song Wanlin.

Liao Yongqiang hesitated for a moment, "They never discussed the task with me."

In fact, Lu Ranglian had given those two secret orders, not only to kill Jiang Xingye but also to deal with Xu Qinghuan.

"Go see Jiang Xingye and tell him what needs to be said. This is only a warning. If he persists, the consequences will be beyond his control." Song Wanlin intended to leave; her trip mustn’t be in vain.

"Yes!"

This time, three more people were sent to look for the two missing individuals, but still no news. Liao Yongqiang planned to check in person soon.

After Xu Qinghuan went up the mountain, she walked several miles to the southwest, gathered a lot of herbs, putting some in her basket and some into her space. Along the way, she picked up a lot of firewood, and once her space was filled, she focused entirely on gathering herbs.

"Awoo!" Qing Xiao gave a low warning. Xu Qinghuan heard someone talking, "It’s a lone wolf. Could Da Shan and Jin He have been eaten by those wolves? I heard that Jiang kid was raised by wolves in the mountains before!"

"That kid is troublesome. If those wolves are his helpers, we can’t let this one go. Let’s go check it out!"

"Be careful!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"What’s to fear? We have guns! It’d be best to meet that kid and shoot him, so we don’t have to stay in this godforsaken place."

Xu Qinghuan had already determined these two were after Jiang Xingye. Holding the wolf close, she stepped into space just before they arrived. She spotted two men dressed similarly to the ones from yesterday, cautiously approaching, seeing some freshly dug pits on the ground, their backs against each other holding guns, scanning around.

Xu Qinghuan squeezed a delicate insect to death, tossing each half towards the two men, landing on their necks.

The delicate insect is highly poisonous and can instantly penetrate the skin. The toxin spreads through the bloodstream throughout the body. Once it reaches the heart, it paralyzes the heart, causing it to stop beating.

The two men, upon seeing the insect’s body, quickly looked up. The ancient trees were towering, and no living thing was visible around.

Within just a few breaths’ time, the two of them collapsed dead.

As Xu Qinghuan was about to exit from her space, she heard several yellow orioles’ calls, sounding very realistic, but to someone as acutely aware as she was, they were obviously fake.

She created a little disturbance to lure the person over, and upon seeing the two bodies on the ground, the person’s heart tensed up. Back against a large tree, after a prolonged guard, he cautiously approached to check his companions’ condition.
