Su Yao's eyes fell on his face calmly, without any ripples in her eyes: "Mr. Qiao, you think you are very thorough in your work, but there is no perfect situation in the world."

She leaned forward slightly, looking at the cat-like woman who was still sleeping with an almost gentle expression: "She is very brave."

"And you..."

She raised her eyes to look at him, her tone as cold as the wind blowing across the glacier: "I just regarded her bravery as my last bargaining chip."

In an instant, an unprecedented embarrassment and shame appeared on Qiao Yingxiong's face. His lips trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, but for a moment he could not come up with any excuse.

From the preparedness of the first test, to the calculations of the second test, to this moment, he finally understood what kind of existence this seemingly slender woman in front of him was.

…She saw it too clearly.

She knew so clearly that no one's cards could be hidden from her.

In the air, the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows stretched Su Yao's figure extremely long.

She just stood there quietly, her white dress as white as fresh snow, her purple eyes calm.

At this moment, Qiao Yingxiong's cell phone rang suddenly.

He shook subconsciously and answered the call with trembling hands.

"……Hello?"

A voice, so excited that it was almost out of control, came from the other end of the phone: "Old Qiao! An An is fine! She's awake! Her heartbeat is very stable! Did you hear that? She's really awake!"

Qiao Yingxiong held the phone, his whole body frozen in place.

"Old Joe!"

"Old Joe, are you there?! The operation was really successful!!"

It was the leader of Danxia Valley, Mu Danqing.

"She's fine!"

"An An is fine!!"

Instantly, Qiao Yingxiong's eyes warmed up, and a bitterness he had never felt before rushed into his throat. He tried desperately to hold it back, but a sob still escaped him: "...Director Su..."

He slowly put down his phone, then suddenly raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously.

The next moment, he knelt heavily in front of her with a "thump".

"Director Su saved my daughter's life... Qiao will repay you with gratitude and will never forget it!"

"From now on, I, Qiao, will be Director Su's vanguard. My Qiao family will be grateful to you for generations to come. My daughter is Director Su's adopted daughter..."

Before he finished speaking, a sneer of laughter came from beside him: "Mr. Qiao is really calculating."

Liu Yuting put his hands behind his back, his expression calm, a hint of a smile on his lips: "Besides expressing gratitude, he also remembered to find a foster mother for his daughter."

"Are you worried that Director Su will not be able to come to your house to see a doctor in the future? Do you want her to become your Qiao family's family doctor?"

He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Yingxiong and said leisurely: "Don't dream."

"And..." He paused and slowly raised his eyebrows: "Director Su has a biological son and does not accept adopted sons and daughters."

Qiao Yingxiong's face turned pale and he opened his mouth but was unable to defend himself.

Su Yao ignored their verbal battle and turned to look at him calmly: "Mr. Qiao."

"If your daughter is unwell in the future, you can take her to Su Yao Chinese Medicine Clinic at any time."

The coldness in her purple eyes dissipated, revealing a hint of gentleness: "Just follow the normal procedures to register."

"Don't kidnap people casually in the future."

She walked past him and said in a cool voice, "Since you are so eager to save my daughter, I will only forgive you this time."

At that moment, Qiao Yingxiong's cheeks twitched slightly, and he felt so guilty that he couldn't speak.

He watched her walk away, his throat too hoarse to speak.

He once thought that no one in this world could see through his every trick.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly calm woman saw through all his tricks at a glance.

She didn't humiliate him or blame him, but just smiled faintly, which made him feel more ashamed than any scolding.

He slowly stood up and bowed deeply.

“…Thank you.”

In the distance, a low-key black off-road vehicle was parked outside the garden, and Su Ziyun was waiting in the car.

Su Yao walked to the car and was about to get in when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

She turned around.

Qiao Yingxiong, accompanied by dozens of his entourage, waved his hand and opened the lids of sixty large gilded boxes, which were filled with golden ingots and ancient gold bricks. The light was so dazzling that people could hardly open their eyes.

He gasped for breath, his voice hoarse: "Director Su... This is a thank-you gift from my Qiao family."

"You saved my daughter and also saved Biyue."

"These are far from enough."

Su Yao looked at the sixty boxes with a slightly surprised expression.

She raised her eyes and said calmly: "...How many lives did I save?"

Qiao Yingxiong's knees softened and he knelt down again: "Please accept it."

"If you don't accept it, Qiao will not be able to fulfill his promise to the Bodhisattva and will be bankrupt as a result! Director Su, please help me!"

The people around held their breath and stared, the atmosphere was solemn.

Su Yao exhaled slowly and glanced at Liu Yuting.

Liu Yuting curled his lips: "It's up to you."

She raised her hand, and a faint golden light appeared on her palm.

In an instant, sixty boxes of gold were collected into the Nine Lotus Jade Bone Ring and disappeared without a trace.

Qiao Yingxiong heaved a long sigh of relief and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you..."

"Mr. Qiao."

She glanced at him and said calmly, "From now on, your Qiao family will be exempt from medical fees when they come to see the doctor."

Qiao Yingxiong's eyes reddened again: "Master Su, thank you very much..."

"No thanks."

She waved her hand gently: "Don't think like this again in the future."

"In this world, some lives can be saved, and some accounts can be settled..."

"But there's some respect, never forget it."

After saying that, she got back into the car and slowly closed the door.

Liu Yuting took one last look at Qiao Yingxiong, a hint of coldness on the corner of his lips: "Mr. Qiao."

"Director Su is soft-hearted and doesn't care."

"But if you try again, the entire Yuqing Villa may not be able to be saved."
