"What's your stance here, that you're saying these things to me?" Xia Mo looked at Bai Xin with a half-smile.
Bai Xin glared at Xia Mo, who was still clinging to the man's arms. Her eyes flickered, and thinking that Xia Mo was unaware of her situation, she said, "Of course I stand on the side of Lin Fengzhi's fiancée."
"Hahaha……"
Xia Mo laughed until her body trembled, her body shaking uncontrollably. When she had laughed enough, she stopped, her eyebrows curving into crescents, and asked, "You're already Lin Chengzhi's wife, how dare you say you're Lin Fengzhi's fiancée?"
Bai Xin's breathing quickened. He thought Xia Mo didn't know, which was why he dared to say that, but he never expected...
Bai Xin felt like something was biting her all over her body, making her uncomfortable everywhere, and she didn't even dare to look Xia Mo in the eye.
"You...you know..." Bai Xin stammered nervously.
“You should be grateful, the whole world should be grateful,” Xia Mo looked up at Huangfu Qian with a half-smile.
Huangfu Qian was puzzled.
“Originally, everything Lin Fengzhi had was going to be taken away. It was an unintentional act of mine that saved his life,” Xia Mo laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “Otherwise… he would have ended up like those people recorded in the booklet.”
Bai Xin listened to Xia Mo's words and felt that Xia Mo was shameless!
Huangfu Qian understood, and his hawk-like eyes quickly swept over Bai Xin before he nodded: "Mm."
Lin Fengzhi's destined partner is this woman named Bai Xin. Lin Chengzhi ruined Lin Fengzhi and then married Bai Xin. Given this situation, Lin Fengzhi's luck should have been completely stolen.
However, due to Xia Mo's unintentional act, Lin Fengzhi fell in love with her, thus preserving his last bit of luck and his life.
Bai Xin looked at Huangfu Qian in disbelief, then at Xia Mo, pointing at the two of them, her mouth opening and closing, but she was too short to speak.
"How could you be so shameless?! If you hadn't seduced Fengzhi, why would I have changed my engagement and married the infamous Lin Chengzhi?!" Bai Xin was so angry that she jumped up and down, her eyes reddening with grievance.
Xia Mo raised an eyebrow and asked sarcastically, "If you don't marry him, are you going to have someone force you to marry him at knifepoint?"
"It's all your fault! You stole Fengzhi's heart!" Bai Xin shouted.
"Who hesitated and backed down when they heard that Lin Fengzhi's reputation was ruined? And who couldn't hold back their composure and agreed after Lin Chengzhi confessed to them? Tsk tsk tsk," Xia Mo directly peeled off Bai Xin and put her on the ground to step on.
Bai Xin's heart tightened suddenly, and her breath caught in her throat.
I don't understand why Xia Mo and the others know so much about her. It's like... Xia Mo's eyes are watching her.
"You...you...you..." Bai Xin wanted to say something more.
"You're just thinking that now that Lin Chengzhi's reputation is ruined, his wife is also losing her reputation, so you think it's my fault and want to vent your anger on me. What... do you think you are?!" Xia Mo mocked.
Upon hearing Xia Mo's words, Bai Xin retreated step by step.
"see a visitor out!"
Xia Mo looked at Huangfu Qian and said loudly.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Xia Mo was sending Huangfu Qian away.
Huangfu Qian looked at Jiang Chi beside him.
Jiang Chi stepped forward and said to Madam Lin, "Please."
Bai Xin looked at Wang Chi, recognized his identity, then looked at Huangfu Qian and Xia Mo, and then at Jiang Chi. Not understanding, she asked directly, clearly spoiled by her family.
She asked, "Aren't you General Jiang, the most capable and trusted lieutenant of King Jiang?!"
Jiang Chi remained expressionless and did not intend to answer Bai Xin's question.
Bai Xin jumped up and down, saying, "Are you all in cahoots?!"
Jiang Chi's face darkened, and he exuded a murderous aura.
Bai Xin immediately turned pale with fright and fled in panic.
Bai Xin, a young girl raised in seclusion and pampered since childhood, has limited experience of the world.
Xia Mo leaned against Huangfu Qian's chest and said, "Just waiting for the other party to create an incident before dealing with it is too slow."
"Shall we create this incident ourselves?" Xia Mo looked at Jiang Chi with a smile.
Jiang Chi felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
Huangfu Qian nodded.
Jiang Chi then summoned the Lin family patriarch, along with the remaining officials, retired judges, and highly respected doctors, to hold a meeting.
Inside the VIP private room of the Drunken Dream Restaurant in Anning Prefecture City—
Old Master Lin, burdened with a mountain of legal troubles, sat in a corner, his entire being radiating an aura of despair. He couldn't understand why Jiang Chi would summon him when his family was in such dire straits.
Jiang Chi arrived last, followed by the spirited Lin Fengzhi.
Old Master Lin's eyes flickered.
"Lin Chengzhi didn't come?" Jiang Chi's gaze swept across the private room, then he looked directly at Old Master Lin.
"My little grandson is sick," Old Master Lin thought. Since he had said that, Jiang Chi couldn't very well force the sick Lin Chengzhi to appear, could he?
"Then I will take some men and go see for myself later," Jiang Chi said expressionlessly.
Old Master Lin opened his eyes in surprise, but due to Jiang Chi's status and the people behind him, he could only lower his head and say, "Yes."
"I plan to hold another competition on medical skills in Anning Prefecture," Jiang Chi stated directly, revealing the purpose of his trip.
The retired elderly people present were all stunned and couldn't understand why they had to hold another one so soon after the one they had just held.
“But this time, the medical skills will focus on external injuries,” Jiang Chi added.
Upon hearing that it was for selecting talent for the military, everyone present expressed their understanding and nodded in agreement. Would they dare to step forward and stop Jiang Chi from selecting talent for the military?
"The winners of the competition will receive a reward of one thousand taels of silver for first place, eight hundred taels for second place, five hundred taels for third place, and two hundred taels for each of the fourth to tenth place winners. Anyone who participates in the competition and ranks in the top fifty will receive a reward of fifty taels. This reward may attract doctors to participate in the competition."
Jiang Chi asked, feigning wealth and arrogance.
The retired residents of the nursing home were all tempted after hearing the offer; the first place winner would receive a thousand taels of silver! But…
"I'm afraid... there are still some concerns. After all, shouldn't such outstanding talents join the army and become military doctors?" the retired old man asked.
“This general does not accept those who are unwilling to follow him; he expects them to follow him willingly,” Jiang Chi said.
“If that’s the case, then this match is feasible!” The judge from the retired nursing home glanced at Old Master Lin, whose face had turned ugly.
Just based on the rewards Jiang Chi offered, the influence of this medical competition will completely overshadow the previous pharmaceutical competition.
Jiang Chi looked at Old Master Lin and ordered, "This general orders Lin Chengzhi of the Lin family to participate! If he does not reach the top 100, this general will punish Lin Chengzhi for impersonating a patient with a minor illness!"
Old Master Lin was so angry he nearly fainted. Hadn't this matter already been put behind him?!
Even though Old Master Lin was furious, when he met Jiang Chi's ambiguous smile, and considering the man's own abilities and the power behind him, he dared not utter a sound and could only obediently follow orders.
