Ling Zhenfei urgently used his Northern Spiritual Energy, swirling it around He Lingxiu's body, finally directing it to her Lingtai Acupoint.
He Lingxiu gently groaned and awoke, looking up at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Brother Afei, what happened to ."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nothing. You might have been a bit confused in thought just now."
He Linxiu shook her head and said, "No, I clearly felt my body wasn't under control, and then I walked up to the rooftop."
Ling Zhenfei was startled and said, "You still rember what happened just now?"
He Lingxiu nodded and said, "Yes, I rember, but it's like a dream. I can feel what happened, but I'm not in control."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "So what happened after I left?"
He Lingxiu said, "After you left, nothing happened until suddenly soone knocked on the door—it was the waiter bringing food.
I opened the door, and the waiter told that soone ordered food for , suggesting I eat a little. Then the waiter presented so food, including a cake, and even lit the candles on the cake before leaving."
Ling Zhenfei was shocked inside, wondering who would send food to He Lingxiu.
"Then what?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
He Lingxiu said, "I thought you ordered it for , so I ate a little. Not long after, I began to feel dizzy and couldn't keep my eyes open.
It felt like sothing was controlling my body, and before long, I couldn't open my eyes at all, and started walking outside."
Ling Zhenfei listened, deeply shocked—unable to believe it. What kind of person would want to kill He Lingxiu? This person is simply too wicked.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's all over now; everything's okay. Earlier, I was so scared! I thought you'd seen sothing online that you couldn't handle and wanted to commit suicide."
He Lingxiu laughed and said, "How could I? I haven't married you yet, so I'd be reluctant to die."
He Lingxiu leaned against Ling Zhenfei's chest, and Ling Zhenfei hugged her gently, saying, "It's okay, I'm here for everything."
They embraced each other peacefully. This world is just like that—life is like a tornado, surrounding you with chaos and threats, but at the eye of the storm, it's the calst.
He Lingxiu said, "Brother Afei, I didn't understand you very well before, but after this incident, I think I understand you now. You've faced so much criticism before, surely it was tougher than this ti?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Exactly. My dical Arts used to be questioned, and I didn't have much support back then, so it was really tough, even being kicked out.
But with effort, you see, even if there are people bad-mouthing us online, there are still many who believe in and support , because that's how I've gotten through.
If there weren't people defaming online, I'd actually feel sothing was off, but this ti I've discovered it's deliberate, soone is scheming against ."
He Lingxiu was very surprised and said, "Are you saying all this was planned by soone?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Who knows when the plan started—was it after Du Zhongming suddenly rebelled due to his illness? Or was Du Zhongming's illness just a setup? We don't know."
He Lingxiu said, "Then what should we do?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Actually, we're supposed to do nothing because it's all fake, the more you care, the more arrogant they get. But now the situation is escalating, if I don't do sothing, it's unacceptable."
"So what should I do?" He Lingxiu asked.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You just need to take care of yourself, and then reflect on whether anything strange happened while treating Du Zhongming?"
He Lingxiu thought for a mont and said, "Nothing strange, their family's reactions and words were completely normal."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Du Zhongming's illness was acute kidney necrosis, but wasn't there any prior signs?"
He Lingxiu said, "Of course not, they previously went to a place called Mingde Hospital for a check-up, where the doctor advised going to a bigger hospital for further examination, leading them to Tangcheng University Hospital."
Ling Zhenfei was startled inside and asked, "Are you saying Du Zhongming initially had his check-up at a place called Mingde Hospital?"
He Lingxiu nodded and said, "Yes, that's what Du Zhongming ntioned during our chat; he went there secretly without his family knowing.
That check-up was quite pessimistic, the Mingde Hospital doctor didn't explicitly say they couldn't treat him, just said their hospital is small, with outdated equipnt, and suggested going to a larger hospital.
Though Mingde Hospital isn't on par with Tangcheng Hospital and Tangcheng University Hospital, among hospitals in Tangcheng, it's still notable.
So if they referred him, it suggests Mingde Hospital's doctors found an issue and knew the illness couldn't be treated, thus sending Du Zhongming to Tangcheng University Hospital."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "I understand now. I need to visit Mingde Hospital; perhaps there's a useful clue."
"Brother Afei, are you going out again?" He Lingxiu asked with so concern.
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll make so preparations. Just don't leave this room, and everything will be fine—I've got you covered."
He Lingxiu nodded sensibly and said, "Then go quickly and return safely."
Ling Zhenfei walked to the door and placed the Bamboo Forest Sanctuary flag at the entrance. As long as soone enters the room, they'll surely enter the Bamboo Forest Sanctuary.
Although the Bamboo Forest Sanctuary doesn't have anything dangerous inside, it's not easy for the average person to enter, so it should suffice to protect He Lingxiu.
After leaving the room, Ling Zhenfei hailed a cab heading to Mingde Hospital, and while in the car, he called Guo Shan again, obtaining Director Song Siwei's contact at Mingde Hospital.
He imdiately called Song Siwei. Though it was very late, Song Siwei answered the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" Song Siwei's voice was quite genteel.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Hello Director Song, I'm Ling Zhenfei. I wonder if you've heard my na; I'm sorry to call you so late."
Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's voice, Song Siwei was sowhat excited and said, "What? You're Divine Doctor Ling? It's really you? If you're calling so late, it must be sothing important."
Ling Zhenfei could tell from Song Siwei's voice there was hope, and promptly said, "Indeed, Director Song, if you're available, I'd like to talk to you."
Song Siwei said, "Yes, I'm available—I'm working overti at the hospital right now."
Ling Zhenfei paused and said, "Working overti so late, Director Song, you truly are dedicated."
