Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006

Lin Chen was indeed regretting, but he's a man of his word and wouldn't go back on it naturally.

"Of course I won't regret it." Lin Chen said through clenched teeth.

Jia Xiaoqing stepped into the room, took a look around, and said, "I'll use this room."

"No, that room is already taken." Lin Chen shook his head and said.

Jia Xiaoqing furrowed her brow, "Then that one."

Lin Chen refused again, "That room is mine."

"I don't care whose it is; I'm staying in this room anyway." Jia Xiaoqing looked determined with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Lin Chen was speechless and said, "Fine, have your way. I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

Only then did Jia Xiaoqing nod satisfactorily, "That's more like it. After all, I'm your guest, and guests are like gods."

Lin Chen suddenly felt like spitting blood, clearly having lost over ten million yuan. She eats, drinks, stays for free, and I still have to prepare herbs for her. This deal is beyond a loss.

"Forget it, you sort out your clothes for now. I'll go into the mountains to gather herbs for you." Lin Chen sighed and said.

Behind this villa was a mountain forest that Lin Chen had already inspected. In these undeveloped woods grew quite a few herbs, some of which could serve as medicine for Jia Xiaoqing.

Not long after entering the mountain, Lin Chen heard the sound of flowing water.

Where there's water, the growth of herbs is usually better, so Lin Chen walked toward the river.

Just as he turned past the bushes, Lin Chen was greeted by a scene of shock.

He saw a young girl standing by the river, bathing.

Looking closely, this girl was none other than Ling Zi, whom he had just teased.

Amidst the emerald green forest, a creek flowed through the mountain, and a girl stood in the water, barely clothed, gently scooping water to wash her upper body.

The scene was so beautiful that Lin Chen was instantly mesmerized.

At this moment, a crunch sounded beneath his foot. Lin Chen had accidentally stepped on a branch.

At this point, Ling Zi suddenly turned around and stared directly at Lin Chen, who was peeping.

Lin Chen was instantly embarrassed; he had been caught peeping red-handed and was too late to hide.

The two of them locked eyes, and Lin Chen opened his mouth to explain, but Ling Zi across the way had already exploded.

"You damn pervert, how dare you peep at me..."

Lin Chen hurriedly explained, "Miss Ling Zi, you misunderstood. I was just coming to the river to gather some herbs, but I didn't expect to find you here."

"Gathering herbs? You're fooling a ghost." Ling Zi said angrily.

Although Lin Chen only saw her body, she still felt very uncomfortable.

To Ling Zi, her body should be pure and untouched, only to be seen by her future man.

But today, Lin Chen saw her body. Even though it was just a glimpse, it made her feel bad.

That's why she came to the river, wanting to wash her body clean to feel better.

But she never imagined Lin Chen would follow over. It was fine; before was just a glimpse, now he saw everything.

"Lin Chen, I'm going to kill you." Enraged, Ling Zi picked up the knife in her hand.

Seeing the beautiful bodyguard wanting to fight to the death, Lin Chen turned around and ran. After all, he was in the wrong, and looking at Ling Zi's current state, she wouldn't rest until she killed him.

Since Ling Zi wasn't wearing clothes, when she saw Lin Chen darting into the woods, she didn't dare to chase him further. She could only watch as Lin Chen disappeared into the forest.

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly after diving into the forest. It seemed the misunderstanding was growing deeper.

Deep in the forest, Lin Chen gathered a basket full of herbs and returned to the villa.

As soon as he got home, a hint of fragrance greeted him.

Upon entering, Lin Chen was stunned; his room looked brand new.

Originally his room was a mess, but now it was neat and tidy, even with a bouquet of flowers placed in a vase on the windowsill by Jia Xiaoqing.

A tempting fragrance wafted from the flowers.

"So, how about it? I've turned your pigsty into such a classy room; how should you thank me?"

"Thank your sister! I lost over ten million yuan, you know?" Thinking of how foolishly he had offered a price of 1.5 million, Lin Chen felt like banging his head against the wall.

Lin Chen poured the herbs onto the ground and said irritably, "Pick all these herbs and take them to Ye Liugeng."

"What did you say? You want me, a gang leader, to pick herbs for you?" Jia Xiaoqing said angrily.

"Be clear, it's not for me; it's for yourself. The medicine is to treat your cold poison. If you don't pick, that's fine. In your condition, you can last another day, after which your whole body will freeze into ice, then crack!" Lin Chen made a shattering motion with his hands.

Lin Chen's words sent a shiver through Jia Xiaoqing's heart. Without saying another word, she obediently squatted down to pick the herbs.

"That's more like it!" Lin Chen chuckled, brought out a large basin, and poured water into it, clearly preparing to boil the herbs.

Seeing Lin Chen not idling either, Jia Xiaoqing felt somewhat balanced inside.

Just as Lin Chen poured water into the basin, suddenly Ye Zi came rushing in.

Without a word, Ye Zi grabbed Lin Chen's hand and started pulling him out.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Sister Ling Zi just fainted on the road and has been taken to the hospital. You should go check on her." Ye Zi said anxiously.

"Fainted? Could it be that this girl was so angry that she fainted?" Lin Chen was stunned.

Although Ling Zi's martial arts were nothing compared to Lin Chen's, her physical condition was excellent, how could she suddenly faint?

Lin Chen followed Ye Zi to the clinic, where they saw Ling Zi lying on a bed, her lips pale and face ashen.

"She was poisoned." Lin Chen concluded after a glance.

At this moment, a doctor named Yoshino walked in, his face darkening upon seeing Lin Chen and Ye Zi, "Where did these two come from? The patient has been poisoned by a snake and must amputate immediately, or her life will be in danger."

"What the hell, amputate, that's way too rash." Lin Chen felt a surge of anger rising.

Two nurses were about to wheel Ling Zi into the operating room when Lin Chen reached out to stop them.

"Wait a minute, she was only bitten by a snake, there's absolutely no need to amputate."

"Bitten by a snake, you say it so lightly, but she was bitten by a Seven-Star Snake. If we don't amputate, she'll surely die," Yoshino said coldly.

Lin Chen snorted, "Are you kidding? Bitten by a Seven-Star Snake requires amputation? A few acupuncture points can stabilize her condition, and you want to cut off her leg? Don't you know that would ruin her life?"

"What, you can neutralize Seven-Star Snake venom with acupuncture? What an international joke. I warn you not to stop us from treating the patient, or if anything happens to the patient, you'll go to jail."
