Chapter 99 I Won't Let You Die

"Are you crazy?"

Su Leyan strode forward, first looking at Wen Zhiming, who was beating someone to the point of collapse.

Wen Zhiming thought that if he beat him hard enough, Wen Kehao would let him go, and he could go find his wife. But he was exhausted from beating him, his hands were swollen, and his body was still tied up.

He's so angry!

Su Leyan knew that Wen Zhiming was indeed close to going crazy, and then turned to look at Wen Kehao, whose face had been beaten beyond recognition.

"Are you crazy too?"

Wen Kehao wiped the blood off his face, took two steps back, and pointed at Wen Zhiming, saying to Su Leyan.

"To treat my older brother."

Su Leyan saw that he was badly injured, and apart from his eyes, there was no other visible part of his face. Even in this state, he was still only thinking about Wen Zhiming.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness and pain in her heart.

"What are you looking at? You two are insane, and I can't cure that!"

She turned to leave, but Wen Kehao grabbed her arm.

"Don't go, please treat my brother."

He was no longer arrogant; his tone even carried a pleading quality.

His days are numbered, and this official position is merely a figurehead bestowed by the emperor; it holds little real power.

Only the third son of the Prince of Anshun's mansion could intimidate people with his status.

Now it's nothing but a paper tiger, a paper tiger whose life force is being held by others.

Of course, he could easily subdue Su Leyan with his skills, but he felt that this Doctor Su was different from other doctors. If he used violence against her, she might not be sincere in treating his brother's illness.

Su Leyan turned around and looked at him. She wanted to say a few more words to him, but she was surprised to find that Wen Kehao's eyes looked a little strange.

She took a step closer, showing no disgust at the blood on Wen Kehao's face, and gently lifted his eyelids, staring at him for a long time, unwilling to give up.

At such close range, Wen Kehao smelled her fragrance again. He felt awkward and wanted to back away, but then he heard Su Leyan's surprised and somewhat sad voice.

"You're actually going to die. Who poisoned you?"

Wen Kehao took a step back in surprise.

Su Leyan is indeed quite capable; she knew he was poisoned so quickly.

Wen Kehao frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with her concern.

"It's none of your business. Just focus on getting my brother treated."

Wen Zhiming shouted loudly from the side, "Release me quickly! Doctor Su, release me quickly! I have to save my wife. My third brother has turned bad. You need to capture him first, then release me. If you're too late, my wife will be in danger..."

He was so anxious that he kept moving around, and the ropes binding him were almost broken from his shaking.

Su Leyan was driven crazy by his noise. She took out a pill from her sleeve and suddenly stuffed it into his mouth while he was yelling. Wen Zhiming quickly became sleepy and lay down quietly, and the room instantly became quiet.

Wen Kehao nervously gripped Su Leyan's hand, "What did you feed my older brother?"

"What are you feeding him? Poison!" Su Leyan said irritably, "The Gu worms in his body are already sick. You're still binding him like this, neither giving him a quick death and making him feel hopeless, nor keeping him anxious and angry. It would be better to let him eat a poison pill and die, and end it all."

"What did you say?" Wen Kehao tightened his grip and said sternly, "If you really fed my elder brother poison, I'll make you pay with your life!"

"You're really quite ill!" Su Leyan angrily shook off his hand and forcefully pressed Wen Kehao onto the stool. "Don't worry, it's just a sleeping pill to calm your brother down temporarily. His condition isn't good and he needs immediate treatment. But your condition is worse, more urgent than his."

She sighed helplessly, opened the first-aid kit she had brought, wiped the blood off Wen Kehao's face and hands, disinfected each wound, and then applied ointment.

Wen Kehao had a small tear on his earlobe. When the disinfection was done, Wen Kehao gasped in pain. Su Leyan then leaned over and gently blew on it, and the boy's scarred face instantly turned even redder.

Wen Kehao stared blankly at her movements, his heart pounding like a drum.

He had been distracted by what Su Leyan said and didn't even know what was happening before he was pressed down onto a stool. The girl's hands were exceptionally gentle, and the pain in his wounds seemed to lessen somewhat.

He had never been so intimate with a woman before.

This Dr. Su always manages to easily break his rules and habits.

He didn't seem to mind.

After his elder brother fell ill, his status in the Prince of Anshun's mansion rose to its zenith. Many maids in the mansion and young ladies from prominent families outside showed him favor. He knew that these people cared not about him, but about his status.

He utterly loathed these people.

Only his eldest brother was the one who firmly believed in and protected him during his darkest times.

Now he has fallen so low that he is no longer human. Everyone outside curses him for being selfish, hypocritical, and cold-blooded, saying that the Prince of Anshun's mansion would be better off keeping a dog than such a scourge.

Even his older brother doesn't believe him anymore, so why is this female doctor still so concerned about him?

He has nothing left to gain.

By the way, his elder brother's 10% fortune is still with him. Could Su Leyan be after that money?

This belongs to the eldest brother; no one is allowed to covet it!

Thinking of this, his calm gaze turned even colder.

Why are you so good to me?

Su Leyan saw him put on a stern face again. If it weren't for the injuries on his face, she would have liked to massage it for him again. He was clearly a teenager, but he always put on such a mature and indifferent act.

"Little brother, I'm a doctor. When a doctor sees an injured person, he bandages their wounds and saves lives. What's so strange about that?"

Wen Kehao's wounds were mostly treated with medicine, but Su Leyan took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, seemingly preparing to apply another layer of medicine to his bruised wounds.

Wen Kehao turned around, avoiding her hand.

"No need, I won't live much longer anyway, let's not waste it."

"Listen, I won't let you die!" Su Leyan forcefully turned his face towards her, glaring at him fiercely, and said, "I told you to call me sister, but you never did. Last time you even got my clothes wet. You saw it today too, I used both bottles of the top-quality ointment I carefully made on you. You owe me so much, and you want to end it all with death? I won't allow it!"

Wen Kehao found it amusing. The Moon Shadow Frost on his body would take effect in a month, and he would die silently. What difference would it make whether you agree or not?

But he didn't want to owe anyone anything, so he reached into his pocket, took out a hundred-tael silver note, and handed it to Su Leyan in a cold and arrogant tone.

Is this enough?

Su Leyan took the medicine and put it into her sleeve, then snorted coldly, "I'm not some fake doctor who goes around the streets. The medicine I just gave you, plus the treatment for your brother, should cost at least ten thousand taels of silver. And this price is a friendly price because of Miss Meng. I'll take one hundred taels for now, so you still owe me nine thousand nine hundred taels."

Ten thousand taels of silver was not an exorbitant sum for the Anshun Prince's Mansion before. The Anshun Princess had spent more than that amount on Wen Zhiming's medical treatment over the years.

But for Wen Kehao now, it was clearly far beyond his expectations.

If he hadn't just witnessed that Su Leyan truly possessed some real skills, and if Meng Lingge hadn't specifically instructed him to find Su Leyan to treat his elder brother's illness, he would have genuinely suspected that Su Leyan's medical treatment was a pretense, and that she was actually extorting money.
