Chapter 8 Caution_1

"No, I need to know now."

Yi Yi said reluctantly, but despite herself, she let out a yawn.

Seeing this, Yang Ming tucked her into bed, and by the time he had covered her with a blanket, Yi Yi was already fast asleep. He then returned to his own room without a sound.

"Who exactly are you?"

Gu Qingya's face was full of inquiry, with a determination to not stop asking until she got answers.

"I was once the illegitimate offspring of the Yang family."

Yang Yi knew that he could no longer hide the truth. Of course, he no longer wished to.

Now that his arm had healed, his medical skills could be easily applied; his strength had increased even more, having cultivated the legendary Inner Qi, and he was no longer afraid to face challenges. He was naturally quite at ease.

"But just like you've seen, my parents passed away, I was driven out of the family home, my hands were crippled, and I became a wretch that everyone despised. I also completely severed my ties with the Yang family."

"And now, my hands have healed. My medical skills can be deployed once again."

"Some things, I will eventually return to the Yang family and take back myself."

As he said this, a flicker of emotion finally appeared on Yang Yi's face. But his tone was as firm as if he were cutting through ice and snow.

So that was it.

Upon hearing the first part of his story, Gu Qingya had an expression of sudden realization; but upon hearing the latter part, she couldn't help but show a flicker of emotion.

It seems.

He had suffered a great deal.

At night.

Gu Qingya found it difficult to fall asleep.

Anyone would struggle to sleep if someone close to them underwent such monumental changes.

Especially someone she had shared a bed with for so many years.

"Go to sleep, stop thinking so much."

Yang Yi was much calmer than she was.

Ever since he was crippled and cast out from the Yang family to become a son-in-law, enduring the ridicule and despise from all sides, he knew this day would come.

As long as a man didn't die, he would have his day.

Yes, the Yang Yi of the past was back, and he had even surpassed his previous self.

"Okay."

This time, Gu Qingya was surprisingly obedient.

As usual, Yang Yi got up very early the next day.

After preparing breakfast and making sure Yi Yi had eaten, he took her to school; then he went to the hospital, where Gu Qingya had already started her busy day.

Yang Yi naturally picked up the broom again.

Dropping off Yi Yi, cleaning the hospital; these were his daily tasks.

"Today's clinic has an unusually high number of cases."

"Many of them were referred by Director Chen."

"But most are difficult and complicated diseases."

Seeing Yang Yi, Gu Qingya paused to wipe the sweat from her brow and informed him of the situation.

Referred by Director Chen, difficult and complicated diseases?

Yang Yi smiled slightly.

He had noticed upon arrival that there was a pink luxury car parked downstairs. These patients with complicated diseases might not be referred by Director Chen, but rather by Chen Lin.

But regardless.

No matter what her intentions were.

Since it was about treating patients, he had no reason to refuse.

Not to mention that his strength had fully recovered, so what was there to fear?

"Wow, Director Gu, you have quite a lot of patients here."

"Don't tell me you gained fame overnight after yesterday's fluke?"

"With so many patients, be careful not to overlook anything. A single mistake can cost lives."

The old hospital director had always disapproved of Gu Qingya. After finishing with a few of his own patients, he came out to stretch his legs and, noticing the busy scene, he couldn't resist coming over to make a jab.

"Don't worry, even if your life is over, we won't make any mistakes here."

Yang Yi replied with a cold smile.

This old man, with his never-dying maleficence, could not stand to see others do well.

But as long as he didn't make any trouble, Yang Yi felt no need to pay him any attention.

"You!"

"Don't think you can look down on others just because of a stroke of luck."

"I'm telling you, everyone has times when their luck runs out. When that time comes, I'll be the first to petition the dean to clean house."

The old director sneered ominously.

"Yang Yi."

Gu Qingya suddenly called out, and in an instant, Yang Yi understood.

"Let me have a look."

As a genius of the Yang family, he naturally had all his medical credentials; he had only neglected to explain this to Gu Qingya the day before because of the urgency.

Today, well-prepared, he would certainly act impeccably.

"For this disease, go fetch these prescriptions!"

After glancing at the patient, Yang Yi had a clear idea in mind, wrote down a few names of medicines on a piece of paper, and handed it to a nurse nearby.

"Director Gu, the medicines are ready."

Within three minutes, she was back, holding exactly the herbs Yang Yi needed.

"There's something wrong with this prescription."

Yang Yi was about to administer the medicine directly, but upon careful inspection, he immediately noticed something amiss.

The third herb had been tampered with, mixed with another substance.

Although it was a small amount, it could easily alter the properties of the medicine, which would not only fail to cure the disease but could worsen the condition if used on a patient.

"The medicine supply is under your management, isn't it?"

Yang Yi turned around to look at the old director beside him.

The man was clearly trying to play dirty since he couldn't win by fair means.

"Don't make false accusations; I did not!"

The old director's gaze flickered, his expression a mix of defiance and nervousness.

"Ha, we'll see whether it was you once we check the surveillance."

Gu Qingya wanted to pull Yang Yi away, but Yang Yi knew that this man was a ticking time bomb.

He was bent on causing trouble, trying to oust Gu Qingya. If Yang Yi didn't act, it would be only a matter of time before Gu Qingya would suffer at his hands.
