Chapter 71: Miracle

Dong Ruolin covered her leg and saw blood continuously seeping through her fingers, realizing that Ye Chen had not lied to her.

However, the thought of having to undress in front of a stranger made her feel an immense inner struggle.

Faced with life and death, Dong Ruolin hesitated for a moment but ultimately compromised.

She didn’t want to die, and even less did she want to become disabled.

Her face flushed, she looked up at Ye Chen, her heart racing, feeling strange all over.

Finally, she softly said, “I understand, thank you.”

Ye Chen nodded, squatted down, and grabbed her pants, tearing them forcefully.

With a ripping sound, the pants were instantly shredded, revealing two flawless white legs.

Dong Ruolin gasped, her face burning, her heart racing even faster, unable to look Ye Chen in the eye.

Ye Chen’s gaze was calm as he saw the knife wound on her left leg. He brought his index and middle fingers together and pressed them against an acupoint.

A thread of spiritual energy flowed from his fingertips into the wound.

Despite the beautiful scenery around him, Ye Chen’s eyes remained fixed on the injury, not glancing anywhere else.

His fingers moved swiftly, and after a few presses, the bleeding gradually stopped.

According to the medical techniques in the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures,” he could completely heal Dong Ruolin’s injury, regenerate her meridians, and even restore the wound on the spot, but Ye Chen did not want to cause her any shock.

He simply used his fingers as needles to help Dong Ruolin stop the bleeding, and once the meridians were healed, he stopped. The remaining flesh wound could be bandaged at the hospital, and she would heal on her own.

Dong Ruolin’s heart raced as she felt the pain lessen and the bleeding stop after Ye Chen pressed a few points, astonished.

She never expected that the traditional Chinese medicine her family deemed useless would be far more effective than Western medicine!

“All done,” Ye Chen said lightly, standing up without looking away. “Try standing up.”

Dong Ruolin attempted to stand, and indeed the bleeding had stopped, leaving her both surprised and delighted.

With a flushed face, she looked up shyly and said, “Since you won’t reveal your name, you must at least give me a chance to thank you, right?”

“No need,” Ye Chen replied coldly, not wanting to reveal his identity.

“You saved my life. If I can’t even thank you, I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Dong Ruolin insisted, then took off a necklace from around her neck. “This is a gift my grandfather gave me for my coming-of-age ceremony. You saved my life, so I want to give it to you.”

In her hands was a platinum chain with a sparkling pink diamond pendant.

Ye Chen initially wanted to refuse, but he sensed a faint spiritual energy from the diamond. After a moment’s thought, he accepted it.

He nodded, took off his jacket, and tied it around her waist, saying, “Sorry for tearing your pants. You can use my jacket for now. I just called the nearby hospital using your phone; the ambulance should arrive in a few minutes. You’re safe now, but I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving.”

After saying that, Ye Chen turned and disappeared into the dense sorghum field without looking back.

“Hey, wait…” Dong Ruolin called out, but by the time she looked, Ye Chen had already vanished.

Outside the park, the sound of an ambulance could be heard.

She looked down at the jacket wrapped around her and then at the direction Ye Chen had disappeared, feeling a sense of loss.

In the next moment, she suddenly felt that the figure leaving was so familiar.

Dong Ruolin recalled for a moment and suddenly realized that this figure looked exactly like the chairman!

“Could it be the chairman of the Dihao Group?” Dong Ruolin’s heart stirred.

But she hadn’t asked for his name, nor had she seen his face, so she didn’t know if her guess was true.

At that moment, Dong Ruolin suddenly noticed a grayish-white pebble where Ye Chen had squatted, with the words “Peace and Prosperity” written on it.

This stone must have fallen out of his pocket by accident.

Dong Ruolin immediately felt as if she had found a treasure and tightly grasped it in her hand.

If she never saw him again, this stone would be the only token he left for her.

After being taken to the hospital by the ambulance, Dong Ruolin was diagnosed with minor injuries.

The treating doctor was unaware of Ye Chen’s initial treatment and was extremely surprised by her condition.

From the knife wound on her leg, it could have resulted in a torn tendon or severe damage to the meridians.

However, apart from superficial injuries, her internal tendons and meridians were completely intact, as if they had been reattached, and they were even stronger.

The doctor told her, “Your injury will heal in a few days. To be honest, this is truly unbelievable. Did you do anything special for the wound?”

Dong Ruolin thought of the mysterious person but replied, “I didn’t do anything special.”

The doctor marveled, “That’s truly amazing!”

Afterward, the doctor added, “By the way, I’ve already notified the police. They will be here soon, and you can tell them about the attack.”

Dong Ruolin nodded lightly.

The police arrived quickly.

In a bustling area where someone had been stabbed, especially a senior executive from the Dihao Group, they took it very seriously.

Among the arriving officers, someone recognized the Xiao family and informed them that she was a guest of the Xiao family.

At that moment, the Xiao family villa was filled with discussions on what to do.

Xiao Hailong informed them that Dong Ruolin was in trouble but didn’t mention that it was because of him. Grandma Xiao thought this was a great opportunity for the Xiao family to shine and insisted they find Dong Ruolin, rescue her, and help Xiao Hailong win her heart.

Upon hearing that she was in the hospital, Grandma Xiao was immediately disappointed, lamenting, “If only Hailong could seize this chance to be a hero and save the beauty!”

After saying that, she immediately told everyone, “Let’s hurry to the hospital!”

Xiao Hailong felt uncertain but had no choice but to follow his family to the hospital.

On the way, Xiao Hailong had already thought of what to say, but he was unsure if Dong Ruolin would believe him.

Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Dong Ruolin, Xiao Hailong’s face immediately lit up with surprise as he hurriedly approached her. “Ruolin, are you okay? I was just about to call my dad and bring people to rescue you.”

“Rescue me?” A hint of sarcasm flashed across Dong Ruolin’s cold face as she replied, “You almost got me killed!”

Xiao Hailong quickly explained, “Ruolin, please don’t misunderstand. I was trying to draw their attention. After all, they were looking for me, not you. I thought they wouldn’t do anything to you.”

Dong Ruolin snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with Xiao Hailong, as she had already seen through his true nature and just wanted to stay far away from him in the future.

Seeing that Dong Ruolin didn’t blame him anymore, Xiao Hailong thought she believed his explanation. He then looked her up and down and noticed she was wearing a man’s jacket, frowning. “Ruolin, where are your pants? They didn’t do anything to you, did they?”

Dong Ruolin felt disgusted and didn’t want to respond to him, coldly saying, “It’s none of your business!”

Grandma Xiao’s keen eyes scanned Dong Ruolin, focusing on the man’s jacket she was wearing. She stepped forward and asked, “Ruolin, if you have anything to say, you can tell Grandma. Those people didn’t do anything to you, right?”

Dong Ruolin replied expressionlessly, “They stabbed me, but fortunately, a young man passing by saved me. Since I was injured, he helped me treat it. My pants were torn, and he took off his jacket to give it to me. What’s the problem?”

“A young man?” Grandma Xiao was shocked.

A young man saved Dong Ruolin? That could be problematic! What if Dong Ruolin developed feelings for that young man? Wouldn’t her precious grandson Xiao Hailong lose his chance?

Xiao Hailong, feeling jealous, asked, “Ruolin, how did he treat you? Did he take off your pants to treat you?”

Dong Ruolin sneered and retorted, “What does that have to do with you?”
