After sterilizing the silver needle in his hand with high temperature, Xiao Tian aid at the acupoint and jabbed it in.
This was a VIP hospital room with all the facilities available, and under the hospital’s special arrangent, so expensive but unlikely-to-be-used equipnt was moved in, showing how much they valued Lin Bingxuan!
However, this did save Xiao Tian the ti of going back and forth to find surgical tools.
Less than half a minute after Xiao Tian inserted the silver needle, the blood on Lin Bingxuan’s wrist seed to have solidified and miraculously stopped flowing, but Xiao Tian’s face showed no sign of relief!
He knew this thod only temporarily blocked the channel for the blood from the artery, and it couldn’t last long!
It’s not that it couldn’t be done, but once too much ti passed, the increasing pressure of the blood would cause this thod to fail as well.
While it wouldn’t cause the blood vessels to rupture, the blood, unable to withstand the pressure, would seep through her pores as a mist.
At that point, she would still die from excessive blood loss!
So now, Xiao Tian was racing against ti!
Pulling the surgical cart to his side, Xiao Tian quickly put on gloves and then donned a mask, cap, and other anti-dust gear, focusing his mind to begin surgery on Lin Bingxuan...
——
While Xiao Tian was performing ergency surgery on Lin Bingxuan, a foreign man with golden hair and blue eyes, dressed in a hip-hop style, was sitting inside a nondescript small shop not far from the hospital.
The room was devoid of any light, and only the faint moonlight coming through the window revealed the silhouette of a figure inside.
The old wooden door was opened, accompanied by a creaking sound as light poured in, only to be blocked by a figure who walked in and closed the door again.
After another series of teeth-gritting creaks, the room plunged into darkness again, but now there were two people instead of one!
"Lin Bingxuan slit her wrists to commit suicide, and she is about to die!"
Due to the darkness, the newcor’s face was indistinguishable, though from the outline and voice, it could be surmised that it was a man.
The foreign man sitting quietly frowned and spoke in broken Huaxia language, "Does that an this trip might be wasted?"
The man delivering the ssage snorted coldly, "That’s your problem, it has nothing to do with . I’ve delivered the news. When will you release my wife and son?"
The man, being blackmailed by the foreigner with his family, asked coldly.
"No rush, no rush!" The foreigner said in a calm and unhurried tone, "They’ll be released when the ti’s right. You should go back now, and we’ll contact you if there’s any news!"
"You!"
Seeing that the foreigner still refused to release them, the man was furious but also clearly understood one fact, that he was no match for him!
Suppressing his anger, the man walked out and slamd the door, which bounced against the wall before it closed again.
"You can co out now!"
After the man left, the foreigner spoke to the empty room, seemingly conversing with thin air.
"What?" Seeing no response for a while, a playful smile appeared on the foreigner’s face, "Do you want to drag you out?!"
To an outsider, this scene was quite eerie, as if there was indeed another person hiding in the room.
As soon as he finished speaking, solitary applause sounded from the corner of the staircase inside the room.
"Indeed, a warrior of the Water Drop Organization’s Four Stars, I am Lu Neng. It’s our first eting, may I know your code na?"
The person hiding in the attic was Lu Neng, Patriarch of the Lu Family. Since the day Xiao Tian left, this humiliated patriarch, who had been left starving and freezing on a mountaintop, harbored an unspeakable hatred for Xiao Tian!
Yet, he didn’t have any ans, as Xiao Tian was a powerful figure capable of storming into the Dao Yi Sect’s mountain gates, so Lu Neng dared not rashly confront such a master.
Furthermore, Xiao Tian had already left Lu Province and had the massive Zhong Family behind him, forcing Lu Neng to abandon his plans for revenge.
However, just as he was dropping this idea, an astonishing piece of good news reached his ears, a prophecy spread by Master Guanghuai’s people.
Upon learning that Xiao Tian was about to lose his strength, the imdiate thought of Lu Neng, Lu Province’s foremost figure, was skepticism.
Three days prior, he had witnessed Xiao Tian’s formidable prowess firsthand and had even been extorted for a helicopter. Now being told that his enemy was about to et his end—who could believe such news?
It wasn’t a matter of believing; it was a matter of daring not to believe!
Yet, as more and more families and factions got involved, growing stronger day by day, and the ability to kill Xiao Tian erged, Lu Neng finally could not sit still!
Of course, out of caution, he couldn’t be entirely convinced even after obtaining internal information, and so he discreetly dispatched people to verify the accuracy of the news.
Once the ssages were confird without a doubt, Lu Neng weighed his options and concluded this was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. Seizing it would not only ensure vengeance but also potentially elevate the Lu Family.
Completing the pursuit would likely replace the gaps left by the Zhong Family, elevating the Lu Family to the ranks of noble families in the capital. If this were to co true, Lu Neng would beco a permanently celebrated figure in family history, his achievents indelible!
Such aspirations weren’t nonsensically dread of by Lu Neng but were results of careful calculation, which was why he made up his mind to co in person.
After all, once Xiao Tian was defeated, even if the Zhong Family didn’t collapse, they would undoubtedly suffer significantly, unlikely to recover for a hundred years.
At that juncture, the Lu Family would beco the most hopeful contender to replace them, with a success rate well over eighty percent!
This was enough to make Lu Neng recklessly gamble; if he won, he would ascend to greater heights, and if he lost, at worst he would stay confined within Lu Province without expanding.
A foolproof deal was naturally irresistible!
...
Upon having his identity revealed in a single sentence, the Water Drop Organization’s Four-Pointed Star official of foreign descent remained unperturbed and coolly announced his na: "Lauren!"
"I assu you’re here for Xiao Tian as well!"
Lu Neng’s smile showed a hint of flattery, yet by the moonlight, he saw Lauren giving him a look reserved for idiots, which made Lu Neng’s insides burn with rage.
Lauren, indeed, was quite curious about this Huaxia man with extravagant attire. How could his mind be as though caught in a door?
For what else could he be here if not for Xiao Tian?
Moreover, had he not heard the conversation between him and the deliverer upstairs?
Though he seed not young, he surely wasn’t so deaf!
"Since it’s for Xiao Tian, we share a common goal. I have a business proposition for you; would it interest you?"
Lu Neng managed a couple of dry laughs to ease the awkwardness, then extended his olive branch!
"A business proposition?"
Lauren chuckled lightly and said, "Explain it further!"
He had often heard from mbers who ca to Huaxia for missions that making money from Huaxia people was easy, both rewarding and well-paid. Naturally, this piqued his interest!
