Chapter 323: Chapter 323

"Yating, be good, open your mouth and swallow this red pill, and your illness will be completely cured," Zhou Guoyan said softly.

"I won’t eat it! It’s too disgusting," Zhou Yating turned her face away and said.

"Yating, be obedient and take it quickly," Zhou Guoyan urged again.

Rapid footsteps sounded from outside.

"Mom, save me! Dad wants me to eat this disgusting pill," Yating’s eyes lit up upon seeing the newcomer, and she pleaded for help.

"Zhou Guoyan! What’s going on?" the middle-aged beauty demanded coldly.

"Here’s the thing..." Zhou Guoyan briefly explained the situation.

"Yating, dear, your dad is doing this for your own good. Quickly eat this red pill, and you’ll be cured," the middle-aged beauty said.

"Mom!!" Zhou Yating pouted as she spoke.

"Eat it obediently!" the middle-aged beauty said softly.

Taking the red pill, she sat down beside the bed and brought the red pill to her mouth.

"Mmm," Zhou Yating nodded reluctantly.

Opening her enticing, fiery red lips, she suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed the red pill.

"Ah!" As soon as she swallowed the red pill, Zhou Yating screamed in pain, and beads of cold sweat quickly started dripping down her forehead.

"Doctor Lu! What’s happening to my daughter?" the middle-aged beauty demanded with a stern face.

"Madam, don’t worry! This situation with your daughter is within my expectations; she will be fine in ten minutes," Doctor Lu replied calmly.

He stood there arrogantly with his hands behind his back, looking like a hermit from another world.

"Ten minutes, right? Good," the middle-aged beauty said.

"Ten minutes, huh? The toxins from mercury and frost should have taken effect already?" Zhang Xiaohao thought to himself with a cold smile.

However, he did not expose it.

Ten minutes quickly passed.

Zhou Yating stopped screaming, and the cold sweat on her forehead also stopped.

Although her face was still pale, it had regained some color.

"Yating, quickly tell Mom, how do you feel now?" the middle-aged beauty asked urgently.

"Mom, I feel a bit better now," Zhou Yating said.

"Mm," the middle-aged beauty nodded.

"Doctor Lu, I really can’t thank you enough. Rest assured, the request you made will be doubled and presented to you shortly," Zhou Guoyan said.

"Mm!" Doctor Lu stroked his beard and nodded calmly.

"I will prescribe another prescription shortly. You should obtain the medicine according to the prescription. Just continue taking it for a week, and your daughter’s illness will be suppressed temporarily! In a few days, I will go into the mountains to find the herbs to completely cure your daughter," Doctor Lu said.

"Doctor Lu, we are really in your debt!" Zhou Guoyan said.

Doctor Lu nodded, turned around, and looked coldly at Zhang Xiaohao.

"Young punk, you have already lost. Kneel down and apologize to me!" Doctor Lu said arrogantly.

"Zhang Xiaohao, right? You have already lost. It’s best to stick to the bet. Otherwise, don’t blame me for intervening in this matter!" Zhou Guoyan said sternly.

Zhang Xiaohao completely ignored him, staring at Doctor Lu.

"Old man, you’ve got some nerve! You even dared to trick the granddaughter of a senior official and made her take poison!" Zhang Xiaohao said mockingly.

"Humph! Nonsense! On the brink of death and still trying to smear me? Young punk, you’re too arrogant," Doctor Lu sternly retorted, his face darkening.

A glimpse of cold light flashed in the corner of his eye.

"Zhang Xiaohao, how dare you slander Doctor Lu! I am ordering you now to apologize to Doctor Lu!" Zhou Guoyan said coldly.

"Shut your mouth! You fool, pushing your own daughter into the pit of fire, aren’t you ashamed?" Zhang Xiaohao scolded.

Just as Zhou Guoyan was about to retort, he was silenced by Zhang Xiaohao’s cold, knife-like gaze, causing a surge of panic inside him, and he choked back his words.

"Old man, open your eyes wide and watch how I expose your trickery!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold laugh.

"Humph! Stand still!" Doctor Lu said with a dark face, "She has taken my pill, and her illness has been cured by me. I won’t allow you to touch her!"

With a sway of his body, he immediately blocked Zhang Xiaohao’s path.

"Get out of my way!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

After he spoke, he grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him to the side.

"Humph! You’re asking for it, brat. Die!" a murderous flash crossed Doctor Lu’s eyes.

His palm turned into a blade, and with a gust of wind, he chopped towards Zhang Xiaohao’s head.

This strike was clearly meant to kill.

"Can’t win with tricks, so you resort to force, old man? You still have a lot to learn," Zhang Xiaohao taunted.

As Doctor Lu’s palm blade drew nearer,

Zhang Xiaohao’s fist smashed out furiously.

It directly broke Doctor Lu’s palm. With his left hand, he grabbed his neck, lifted him off the ground,

and with his right hand struck lightning-fast, chopping at his limbs.

He disabled his limbs and casually threw him to the ground.

"Ah! Zhang Xiaohao, you’re too presumptuous, daring to attack Doctor Lu like..."

Zhou Guoyan hadn’t finished his sentence when the middle-aged beauty, with a cold face, slapped him across the face.

"Shut up! Say one more word of nonsense, and see how I deal with you!" the middle-aged beauty snapped coldly.

Facing her icy gaze, Zhou Guoyan swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Not bad! At least someone here is sensible," Zhang Xiaohao said casually.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I entrust Yating to you," the middle-aged beauty said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t make a sound and walked over to Zhou Yating.

He nonchalantly pointed near her abdomen.

"Ah..." a miserable scream immediately erupted from Zhou Yating’s mouth.

Zhou Yating curled up her body like a giant lobster, writhing in agony.

Large beads of cold sweat dripped from her forehead incessantly.

"Ah! Yating, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare Mom," the middle-aged beauty exclaimed anxiously.

Zhou Guoyan also panicked at this time, glancing fiercely at Doctor Lu. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Fired up, he rushed forward and began punching and kicking Doctor Lu.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I beg you, please save Yating. I’m begging you..." the middle-aged beauty pleaded desperately.

Like a child drowning, grabbing at the last straw of salvation,

she held Zhang Xiaohao’s palms against her chest, shaking them vigorously.

She probably didn’t even notice that as she shook Zhang Xiaohao’s palms, they were rubbing back and forth across her chest, making Zhang Xiaohao feel very uncomfortable!

"Don’t worry! Let her scream a bit more, and she’ll be fine soon," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.

"Okay," the middle-aged beauty’s heart finally calmed down.

However, her hands still clung to Zhang Xiaohao’s arm,

as if afraid that Zhang Xiaohao might suddenly run off.

Zhang Xiaohao was speechless and really wanted to say weakly,

Could you let go of my arm? I’m really uncomfortable.

After a quarter of an hour had passed,

Zhou Yating’s screams gradually subsided, and she lay weakly on the bed, her complexion even paler and adding a touch of misery.
