Chapter 146: The Emergence of a Powerful Enemy

  Nothing happened that night, and my expected enemy didn't appear again. I don't know if it's because they thought Xia Lin was already dead, so there was no need to come and kill her again. But this is a good thing, at least I had a quiet night's sleep.

  The next morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, Dongfang Yonghao said: "Let's have breakfast. We'll go through the discharge procedures later and then head back to our base."

  I had heard him mention leaving here to return to the garrison the day before, and didn't think it was strange, I just said: "Let's ask a doctor to come with us, in case something happens on the way, we won't be able to handle it."

  Dongfang Yonghao clapped his hands and said: "How could I have forgotten? I'll go invite Miss's attending physician, Dr. Li, and our colleagues to come over."

  I smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. Anyway, Li Yingying was also going to go with us to the Goddess's residence, so this was just as well, saving me from worrying about it. As for whether or not I had led Dongfang Yonghao astray, I temporarily put that thought aside.

  Dongfang Yonghao hastily ran out and came back soon after, then said with a bitter face: "Doctor Li said the hospital is very busy and has no time to go back to the base with us."

  I smiled and said: "That's because your approach is wrong. If I were to invite her, she would definitely come back with us."

  Dongfang Yonghao sneered: "If you can invite this great doctor, I will admit that you are better than me and take you to our base."

  I just smiled and said, "It's settled then." With that, I got up and left the ward, heading straight to Li Yingying's office.

  Li Yingying is currently receiving a patient and looks quite serious, just like a real doctor here.

  I quietly waited for her to finish, then said: "Hurry up and have breakfast, we'll be heading to the Goddess's residence soon."

  Li Yingying smiled: "Yes, elder!"

  I turned around and left, not daring to stay in her office for another minute.

  Back in Xia Lin's ward, Dongfang Yonghao immediately asked me: "Did Dr. Li agree? You didn't just make it up, did you?"

  I smiled and said: "With me taking charge, one can replace two. Dr. Li will arrive soon, and then we can leave."

  Dongfang Yonghao's face flashed with a hint of weirdness: "How did you get Dr. Li to move? I hadn't even finished speaking just now, and Dr. Li directly refused me."

  I took a glance at Xia Lin who was still asleep and said in a low voice, "All I said was 'one hundred thousand per day', and Doctor Li agreed."

  "What? 10,000 yuan a day? How can you quote such a high price?! You're the one who's supposed to pay!"

  I didn't even give him a glance, and walked directly to Xia Lin's bed, smiling: "One day, one ten thousand, your young lady is worth this much."

  As soon as I finished speaking, Xia Lin opened her eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect that one day would be worth 10,000 yuan. If my body wasn't injured now, I really wanted to sell it to you for 10,000 yuan a day. This is so cost-effective, better than doing anything else."

  I feel that her words are a bit ambiguous, Dongfang Yonghao directly shouted: "How can that be? Don't say one day for 10,000, even if it's one day for 100,000, Miss... uh, my meaning is to say, can't do this."

  Xia Lin's face was filled with anger, and her eyes seemed to be looking at Dongfang Yonghao as if he were an arch-nemesis. Dongfang Yonghao barely dared to look at Xia Lin, and he slunk away in a dejected manner.

  I picked up a fried dough stick with a smile and took big bites, while mumbling: "You have injuries on your body, you can't eat fried foods, just drink some porridge..."

  Xia Lin said angrily: "I want to eat nutritious food, just drinking porridge when can my injury recover?"

  I saw her wanting to vent her anger on me, so I quickly stood up: "I'll go buy it, you wait a while."

  After I finished speaking, I ran away quickly, almost as fast as when I use my movement technique. It's not that I'm really afraid of Xia Lin, I just don't want to be used as a punching bag by her.

  Outside the hospital, there is a short street with all kinds of snacks, known as "Snack Street". I bought some nutritious food nearby and walked back slowly.

  Dongfang Yonghao also came over at some point and shouted when he saw me: "Hurry up, the miss said she's hungry, it's going to be late."

  I continued walking slowly and said in a low voice: "She's angry not because she's hungry, but because someone said she could sell 1 million yuan worth of goods in one day."

  Dongfang Yonghao's face turned red, then he said in a cold voice: "If you want to fight me, just say it now. I don't mind having a go with you."

  I hastily shook my head: "Then I dare not, if the police are called, let alone return to your residence, even if you want to stay in the hospital, it's probably difficult."

  Dongfang Yonghao said in a bad mood: "You know it's good."

  I said with ill intentions, "If you want your missus not to get angry, take these dishes and give them to her now. Isn't she hungry? If you deliver breakfast to her now, she'll definitely forgive your earlier gaffe."

  Dongfang Yonghao looked at me with a mixture of trust and doubt, then really took the food from my hand and ran back to the hospital in a flash.

  I slowly turned around, then glanced at a person ten meters behind me and whispered: "What are you following me for? I'm not the one you're going to kill! Your target is in the hospital, now there's no one protecting it."

  My words were like talking to myself, but the person behind me suddenly disappeared, as if he had never been there at all.

  My heart tightened, I quickly took out my phone and dialed a number of someone I hadn't contacted in a long time. The call was answered quickly, and a very familiar voice spoke up: "What's going on? You little scamp wouldn't usually give me a call."

  I smiled and said: "I know you're busy, so I didn't dare disturb you."

  This voice burst into laughter: "I didn't expect that Jin Cang had also learned to flatter. Speak, what's the matter? Are you asking about your junior sister Nangong Qianlan? Let me tell you, Master now regards Nangong Qianlan as my closed-door disciple, I'll teach her everything I know, and compared to you, she might even have a slight edge."

  I forced a smile: "Master, don't lie to me, Qianlan has been with you for only a few days, how can she make such great progress? I came to ask you about someone."

  The person who called me was just my master Kong Shou, and I heard Kong Shou say: "What kind of great man have you met that you need to ask me? What are your intelligence agencies doing?"

  I smiled and said, "This person just appeared behind me earlier, I barely sensed his breath. But when he left, I surprisingly didn't notice any trace of his movement at all. A person like this, I think Master you must know about him, that's why I want to ask you, what is his background?"

  Kongshou remained silent for a while before speaking: "Is there really such a person? Has your martial arts skills regressed? Is there really someone like that in this world, and how come I don't know about it?"

  I'm a bit disappointed: "You don't know either? It seems that in this world, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and one can't underestimate others."

  Kong Shou let out a soft sigh: "No matter where, there will always be strong people hiding among the common folk. We should indeed be more careful. The person you're talking about is probably a high-ranking martial artist, but I've never heard of anyone with such profound skills."

  "I said: 'So how are you going to help me? That person is now trying to kill my friend, and I have to go save my friend right away. If I can't beat him, what are you going to do?'"

  Kong Shou was taken aback for a moment before shouting: "Can't you think of something yourself? I'm so far away, how can I help you?"

  I smiled and said: "Then can't you let Yifan or Huang Yi'er come over to help me out? I'm really busy right now..."

  Before I could finish speaking, Kong Shou yelled: "You little brat, what are you still babbling about? Don't you need to save your friend?"

  I said: "We can't even beat them, what are we going to use to save people?"

  Kong Shou shouted loudly: "Don't you still have a helper? Let Li Yingying, the master of Qian Bian Men, help you. Her disguise technique is not something ordinary people can compare to. Let her disguise your friend and then escape."

  I forced a smile and said, "The enemy has already arrived, what's the use of talking about disguise techniques now? Forget it, I'll think of something myself. However, you must immediately let Yifan and Huangyi come over to help me, I will give you the address."

  Kong Shou scolded a sentence "stinky little boy" and hung up the phone. At this time, I had already walked to the hospital entrance, then accelerated my pace and rushed into Li Yingying's office.

  Li Yingying seems to be preparing to leave here and is packing her luggage at the moment. My arrival startled her. I heard her say, "What are you doing here? Were you outside when I was changing clothes just now?"

  I didn't have time to fool around with her, so I pulled her and ran. As we were running, I said: "Hurry up and help me disguise Xia Lin, a strong enemy is coming, if they find her, we'll be in trouble."

  Li Yingying didn't say anything, and followed me all the way to Xia Lin's hospital room. Then, without saying a word, she helped Xia Lin up and started stroking her face.

  Xia Lin's face was full of surprise and confusion, looking at me with a gaze that seemed to ask what was going on. I whispered: "Don't move, the enemy is coming, let Dr. Li disguise you so you won't be recognized."

  My words reassured Xia Lin a lot, but Dongfang Yonghao was frightened and jumped up, hastily saying: "Then let's leave here quickly, the enemy is too strong, we are not their opponent..."

  Li Yingying said, "Don't rush to leave, the hospital is so big, it will take some time for the enemy to find you, we still have time to disguise ourselves. After I finish disguising you, I believe that person won't be able to recognize you."

  Dongfang Yonghao hesitated and said: "The enemy is very strong, can this disguise of yours deceive the enemy?"

  Li Yingying said confidently: "The makeup I've put on, there are only a few people in this world who can recognize me."

  Dongfang Yonghao's face showed a hint of strangeness, he glanced at Li Yingying, then looked at me and said: "When did the enemy arrive, how did you know?"

  I sighed, "It's not like you came looking for me and were discovered by the enemy. If I hadn't held off the enemy for a while to cover for you, they would have probably tracked you down directly and found this place already."

  Dongfang Yonghao was shocked and immediately wanted to escape again, but I grabbed him: "Although the enemy is strong, it's not easy for them to find us in this hospital. We have time to leave slowly. Now let Dr. Li disguise you, then go to the hospital and ask for an ambulance, we'll take the ambulance out of the hospital."

  Dongfang Yonghao nodded, turned around and looked at Li Yingying. Li Yingying stopped stroking Xia Lin's face with her hand, turned her head to look at Dongfang Yonghao, and said coldly: "Close your eyes and don't move."

  Dongfang Yonghao closed his eyes obediently, and I was just about to take a good look at Li Yingying's disguise technique when I saw Li Yingying raise her fist and punch Dongfang Yonghao's face with all her might.

  Dongfang Yonghao was beaten almost to the point of rioting, but under my powerful pull, he stood still. Then he growled in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

  Li Yingying smiled and said, "Look in the mirror yourself. If others can still recognize you, I'll let you hit me ten punches. Don't dawdle, hurry up and find an ambulance, we're almost out of here."

  Dongfang Yonghao was taken aback, then endured the intense pain and ran away without looking back. He actually trusted Li Yingying very much and didn't even go to find a mirror. But I think it's not necessary to use a mirror anyway, this punch he took is enough to change many things.

  Dongfang Yonghao ran far away, and Li Yingying suddenly sneered: "You dare to be rude to my sister's husband, wait and see how I'll deal with you later."

  I almost burst out laughing when I heard her say that. Xia Lin also said in surprise, "So you did it on purpose, I thought you used some special method to make him up."

  Li Yingying smiled and said, "Isn't it that you want me to treat him the same way I treat you? I don't think he's a good person, not punching his nose is already the best."

  Xia Lin's face was full of surprise: "You won't treat me like that too, will you? I'm a girl, can't be slapped in the face."

  "How could I? I wouldn't treat a friend of my sister's husband like that. Don't worry."

  I felt a chill all over my body and subconsciously took a step back, then said: "I'll go take a look to see if the car is in contact..."

  Li Yingyin suddenly appeared in front of me: "Cut the crap, if you don't disguise yourself a bit, and go out like this, won't you be caught by the enemy?"

  She said as she raised her hand. I was so scared that I immediately backed away, saying "You can't hit me, I...I will fight back."

  Li Yingying's body moved suddenly, and she actually retreated faster than I did. In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of me and directly reached out to touch my face.

  I let out a silent cry of "it's all over", just as I was about to retreat, when I felt a cool sensation on my face. This feeling wasn't painful at all, but rather very comfortable - where was the pain? I hastily looked up to see that Li Yingying hadn't hit me at all, instead she had started stroking my face.

  I breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled foolishly: "So you weren't going to hit me after all..."

  Li Yingying smiled and said, "How dare I hit you? You're my cousin's husband. If I hit you, won't my cousin scold me to death? Don't move, I'll be done helping you change your appearance soon. Can... can you not move?"

  I didn't dare listen to her words, because she was shorter than me. In order to touch my face, she could only stretch out her arms with effort. At this moment, I inadvertently saw the snow-white thing under her neck. So I quickly leaned back, trying to force my eyes not to look at things that shouldn't be seen.

  Li Yingying kept calling me not to move, her body still leaning forward, trying to help me disguise myself. In the end, I chose to close my eyes and slightly crouch down, letting Li Yingying stroke my face.

  Two minutes later, Li Yingying smiled and said: "Alright, go find a mirror to take a look. You're much more handsome now than you were just before."

  I don't know what I've become now, so I rushed to the bathroom to take a look at my current appearance.

  I'm indeed more handsome than before, but it's not this kind of handsome, it's the "handsome" of a cricket, the kind that makes people angry to death.

  Now I have a face full of wrinkles, looking at least fifty years old. And on my face, there is actually a three-inch-long scar from the past, which unfortunately hangs obliquely on my face, covering the entire left half of my face.

  I'm crying and laughing at the same time, even I myself can't help but think that this person is me. But it's also good, at least that strong enemy will have a hard time recognizing me.

  I didn't harbor any resentment towards Li Yingying for making me ugly, on the contrary, I was very interested in her magical disguise technique. If I could learn this skill, traveling the world would be much safer.

  So when I came out of the bathroom, I didn't say anything and continued to watch Li Yingying disguise Xia Lin. Xia Lin was originally a beautiful woman, but under Li Yingying's hands, she quickly became ordinary-looking, like anyone else. If you threw her into a crowd, even her parents might not be able to recognize her.

  Now that we've all disguised ourselves, we just need to wait for Dongfang Yonghao to bring the ambulance, and then we can leave the Goddess Organization's base.

  Dongfang Yonghao's speed was very fast, the car was already ready. However, seeing the black mark on his face that almost covered his eyes, I couldn't help but laugh. Dongfang Yonghao immediately waited for me, and his ugly cheek turned even darker.

  I whispered: "You like this, and your family's young lady can make a perfect match, if not, ask Dr. Li..."

  "Dongfang Yonghao angrily said: 'You're not much better off either, this scar... if it's true, I think you'll never be looked at by my family's young lady in this lifetime...' "

  I laughed: "That's not necessarily true, maybe your family's young lady likes men with scars on their faces."

  Dongfang Yonghao was suddenly choked with anger and couldn't speak.

  I caught up with Li Yingying, who was supporting Xia Lin and took the lead in going out, and said in a low voice: "Do you need help? The wound on my face is an old wound. I can help. It's not like some people, the wound on their face is new, and it's better to take care of themselves."

  Dongfang Yonghao happened to follow him out and heard that he was angry again, and didn't dare to speak.

  I couldn't help but smile secretly, and Li Yingying burst out laughing...
