Nie Bin asked, "Do you also have a grudge against Jian Yixue?"
Jiang Lie didn't speak, but nodded.
Although he had no enmity with Jian Yixue, the relationship between him and Dongfang Tinglan was hard to say.
He discovered some interesting things about the relationship between Jian Yixue and Dongfang Tinglan... and since he attacked Dongfang Tinglan, Jian Yixue will probably consider him an enemy.
From this perspective, he certainly wasn't lying.
Upon hearing this, Nie Bin fell into deep thought.
The main reason was that although he did have a grudge against Jian Yixue, he was also very unsure about Nie Bin's sudden show of goodwill.
Unlike Ouyang Yunruo, he never believed that free lunches would fall from the sky.
Now it seems that his willingness to take action was probably for ulterior motives.
If that's the case, how much sincerity does he have for Ruoruo?
The man in front of him gave him a sense of impending danger, and he had no way to deal with him.
After all, he was the only one who said he could stand up again.
He was caught in a dilemma.
Jiang Lie seemed to have seen through his considerations. He also understood that Nie Bin was not Ouyang Yunruo. It might be possible to fool Ouyang Yunruo, but it would be no easy task to trick Nie Bin, the former head of the Nie family, into working for him.
"You can think about it. This is my business card. You can contact me anytime you decide."
He then took out a business card from his pocket. Nie Bin took it and looked at it. All he saw was the name Jiang Lie and a string of Arabic numerals.
As time went by, Nie Bin's sudden pain intensified.
Nie Bin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was full of pain, while Jiang Lie beside him remained calm and closed his eyes to rest.
Looking at Jiang Lie like this, Nie Bin suddenly thought of something and asked, "You and Jian Yixue are from the same school?"
He knew that Jian Yixue was exceptionally skilled in medicine and acupuncture, and that Jiang Lie in front of him was the same.
Suddenly, Jiang Lie opened his eyes and said, "It's a secret."
It's a secret because he wasn't sure either.
Seeing this, Nie Bin didn't ask any further questions.
When the time was up, Jiang Lie removed the needles and turned to leave.
Nie Bin suddenly called out to Jiang Lie, "How long will it take me before I can stand up again!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie stopped and turned around, saying meaningfully, "That depends on Mr. Nie's decision. It could take as little as half a month or as long as half a year."
The threat in his words was obvious.
Nie Bin was immediately furious and said stubbornly, "Didn't you promise Ruoruo that you would treat me? How can you go back on your word like this?"
"Really? What evidence do you have to prove I went back on my word? Did I say I wouldn't treat you?"
He then smiled and left.
Nie Bin, lying on the bed, suddenly felt breathless.
No?
It could take as little as half a month or as long as half a year!
The threat implied is quite obvious.
Does that mean if he's willing to risk his life for him, it will only take half a month; if not, it will take half a year?
He knew perfectly well that he couldn't wait that long, and by doing this, he was forcing him!
As Jiang Lie came downstairs, Old Master Nie immediately surrounded him, anxiously asking, "Mr. Jiang, how is my son?"
Jiang Lie said, "There is still hope. The first course of treatment has been completed. Here is the prescription; get the medicine for him according to this."
He then handed a piece of paper to Grandpa Nie.
Grandpa Nie quickly accepted the gift and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Jiang."
"You're too kind, sir."
Grandpa Nie said, "How many more treatments will it take for him to stand up completely?"
Jiang Lie said, "There are a total of three treatment courses. Patriarch Nie can contact me directly to find out when they will begin. I have already given him all the instructions."
Seeing this, Old Master Nie didn't press the matter further.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Lie took Ouyang Yunruo and left the Nie family.
Grandpa Nie then went upstairs. He didn't ask Nie Bin about his treatment, but left after exchanging a few words of concern.
...
The Eastern Family.
After Dongfang Yelei returned, he increased the number of people to supervise the old master's courtyard. However, the servants reported that people had been sent to guard the area within a three-kilometer radius of the old master's courtyard, and now not even a mosquito could get in.
Dongfang Yelei frowned immediately, looking puzzled.
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that they know?"
He then shook his head and said, "Impossible. He was extremely careful when meeting with the master, and he also checked the private room and there was nothing wrong with it. Besides, how could Qinxiang Pavilion allow such a thing as a breach of privacy to happen, unless it were cutting off its own path to survival?"
If that's the case, then how do you explain the sudden increase in the number of guards at the old man's courtyard?
Dongfang Yelei thought and thought, but still had no solution.
Then, his phone rang.
He glanced down at the screen, then answered the call, "Brother Zheng."
"Brother Dongfang, where is the man you promised me? It's like finding a needle in a haystack for me. Please send me your man as soon as possible so I can find out his whereabouts sooner, and then we can both feel at ease."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yelei's expression grew even worse, but he was powerless to retaliate.
"Okay, I'll have someone come find you in a bit."
...
Country M, Saint-Namer County.
Beneath a cliff waterfall deep in the mountains.
Inside a palace called Lilac Pavilion.
Ding Yi was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the handsome man on the bed, and muttered to herself, "I didn't expect to run into you while I was out for a walk. I'll accept it since you're not bad looking."
What Ding Yi didn't know was that she had a faint smile on her lips as she said this.
Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Ding Yi, sounding rather resentful.
“Miss, if I bring a stranger back like this, the Pavilion Master will find out. You’ll be in big trouble.”
Shuxin pouted, seemingly disapproving of Dingyi's actions.
Ding Yi was startled and immediately looked at Shu Xin, saying, "You scared me to death! Don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly?"
Ding Yi patted his chest.
Shuxin pouted and said, "Miss, you're already so frightened. If the Pavilion Master finds out, you'll be punished!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi said, "I have already brought the person back. As long as you don't tell and I don't tell either, the Pavilion Master won't know."
Shuxin said with a bitter face, "But..."
Ding Yi interrupted, "Now you and I are in the same boat. If you betray me, you won't escape either."
Upon hearing this, Shuxin almost burst into tears.
Seeing this, Ding Yi smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll go get him the medicine. You keep an eye on him and make sure no one else comes in and sees him, then nothing will happen."
If the Pavilion Master finds out, I will take full responsibility and will absolutely not implicate you.
Upon hearing this, Shuxin explained, "Miss, that's not what I meant."
Ding Yi nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. Keep an eye on him for me."
