Chapter 158: Chapter 157, Is She Human, or a Ghost? Wu Mei also showed a look of surprise, "With your intelligence, could you really come up with a win-win solution like this?" Zhao Dalong said with a stern face, "Just because you’re called the Female Zhuge, doesn’t mean you can look down on others. Why can’t I come up with such a win-win solution?" Saying this, he looked at Xu Wendong, and the smile on his face became increasingly twisted, "My solution is simple, get with Yan Shuangshuang’s old mother, and make Yan Shuangshuang call you Dad!" "·······" Xu Wendong felt as if a flock of crows flew over his head, for crying out loud, can you act normal for once? Wu Mei sneered, "You can’t expect pearls from a dog’s mouth!" Chen Ping’an said cheerfully, "You know, Brother Dalong’s idea is indeed quite satisfying. If it were me, I’d definitely do it. After all, Yan Shuangshuang’s mother is truly a charming woman!" Liu Mang added, "Actually, our thinking can be even broader. Like, why not take down both mother and daughter? Wouldn’t that be even more satisfying?" Chen Ping’an’s eyes lit up, "Good, good, this idea is great!" Wu Mei gave them a look meant for idiots. Xu Wendong said helplessly, "You’re all renowned figures around here, is this really appropriate?" "Alright, alright." "The matter of the celebration banquet can wait. I’m going to Lake Heart Island to solve the trouble at South Lake. You contact the construction crew here, and the tasks must be completed in the shortest time possible, not letting the people’s expectations down." After everyone parted ways, Xu Wendong drove his Mercedes pickup to the edge of South Lake. Jin Lingqiang had been waiting for a long time and handed Xu Wendong a speedboat key. Then, Xu Wendong drove the speedboat into South Lake alone. After landing on Lake Heart Island, he opened the stone slab above the dry well and entered. "Miss Liu, I’m here to rescue you from this place." Xu Wendong pinched the spell with both hands, and a white light burst from his fingertips, severing the chains on the coffin. Then, he pushed open the coffin lid. As the coffin lid was revealed with a gap, a strong wave of Yin energy rushed at him, causing Xu Wendong to shiver involuntarily. Then, an unbelievably beautiful face appeared in his eyes. She wore a phoenix crown and red robe, with jade-like beauty and a natural allure, her skin as white as jade, crystal clear. Especially those bright eyes, they shone brightly in the dim well. "Are you a living person?" Xu Wendong felt a chill on his scalp. He thought she was a spirit born of resentment, yet, to his surprise, she was actually a living person. Xu Wendong didn’t know how long Liu Cai He had been trapped here, but it wasn’t hard to tell that the Reincarnation Refining Soul Formation, such an evil spell, had long disappeared. Moreover, judging by her dress style, she was likely an ancient person from a thousand years ago. Xu Wendong could regard her as human. But he also knew. Liu Cai He was definitely not just human. "I don’t know, I don’t know if I’m alive or dead." A hint of pain appeared in Liu Cai He’s eyes; she had no past, long since forgotten every bit of the past. Although her face was full of pain, her voice was gentle. Coupled with her pained expression, it invoked a sense of pity. Xu Wendong had initially thought she was a ghost, thinking of releasing her and letting her fend for herself, but now he felt a bit at a loss. He truly couldn’t stand seeing such a stunning woman wandering alone in the world. Xu Wendong said, "Until you remember your past, stay by my side for now!" Liu Cai He gratefully said, "Thank you, sir." "Let’s go, let’s leave this place first." Xu Wendong rose into the air with Liu Cai He and appeared on Lake Heart Island. However, as they were exposed to the sunlight, Liu Cai He let out a piercing scream. Her body emitted a dense Yin energy, vanishing in the sunlight, and two streams of black tears flowed from her eyes, looking terrifying. This confirmed Xu Wendong’s suspicion, Liu Cai He was not human! But whether she was human or ghost could not be confirmed now. Without much thought, he quickly opened a prepared black umbrella, intending to shield Liu Cai He from the sun, but she smiled and shook her head, "No need for that, I can handle it!" She stood quietly in the sunlight, the Yin energy on her body continuously leaking and being purified. Meanwhile, her pale face gradually regained some color. She looked much relieved. Over ten minutes later, the Yin energy on her body had completely dissipated, so much so that Xu Wendong could clearly feel the coldness hovering over Lake Heart Island had vanished. Opening the Heavenly Eye, sure enough, the once dense Yin energy was entirely gone. This made him very happy, as solving South Lake’s crisis meant Qingyuan would surely undergo a transformation. Just as Xu Wendong and she were about to leave on the speedboat, dozens of strange fish appeared on the calm lake surface. They gazed longingly at Liu Cai He, seemingly conveying something. A tender smile appeared in Liu Cai He’s eyes as she softly said, "Leave this place, seek freedom, but remember not to do anything against heaven and reason!" The strange fish successively submerged underwater, disappearing without a trace. Xu Wendong took Liu Cai He to the shore, drove to a mall to buy her some modern clothes. Her current wear of a phoenix crown and red robe was too attention-grabbing. After that, he took her back to the clinic, and by then, there was already a long queue outside, "There’s a room on the second floor; you can stay there for now and learn to adapt to the modern way of life. If you remember your past, you can leave at any time." He didn’t know if leaving Liu Cai He here was right or wrong, but for him, it was the only choice at the moment. He couldn’t just abandon her after rescuing her. That would not be the act of a gentleman. The second floor had a bed and clean blankets, perfectly livable. Just, there were no forms of entertainment. So Xu Wendong also ordered a television online. After doing this, he went down to the first floor to begin his day’s work, with many people still trusting him and waiting in the sun for his treatment. He couldn’t let down the people’s trust in him. Just like yesterday, he upheld the principle of treating with massage if feasible, and if massage didn’t work, then acupuncture. Only if neither worked would he prescribe medication. After seeing more than a dozen patients, he hadn’t made a penny, yet felt fulfilled, a fulfillment money could not bring. While Xu Wendong was busy seeing patients, a group of police suddenly came in, accompanied by an old acquaintance, Xu Fan from Qingyuan Television Station. The moment their eyes met, both were a bit taken aback. "Officer, I am filing a report. This guy is practicing medicine illegally; you must arrest him!" A shifty-eyed man in his thirties pointed at Xu Wendong and said viciously, "He doesn’t even have a medical license, yet he’s running a clinic and treating patients. This is clearly risking lives, he must be stopped before he causes any great disaster." As he said this, he looked at the surrounding people, "Folks, this guy doesn’t even have a medical license, and you are daring to seek treatment from him? Are you all tired of living?"
