Chapter 157 - The One Who Has Been Giving Him

Translator: Lordbluefire

Ye Lu also realized that she had let it slip and had an urge to slap herself, so she looked at Shen Ruojing nervously.

Shen Ruojing remained quite calm.

Her gaze was lowered as she stared at Dugu Xiao.

Dugu Xiao narrowed his eyes. As expected, he had thought too much into things. “Turns out that Miss Shen has been so attentive toward my matters. You were already studying about my headaches before I came here.”

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled. “All doctors would be interested in rare illnesses. Although only a few people know about Mr. Dugu’s headaches, I do have some connections. Mr. Dugu wouldn’t mind, right?”

Dugu Xiao. “…”

For some reason, he felt that this woman was being sarcastic toward him.

He lowered his gaze and said calmly, “I’m very honored to be the subject of Miss Shen’s study.”

Leng Ling then said with hostility, “It’s no wonder you already know how to apply acupuncture when this is your first visit. Turns out that you came prepared.”

Shen Ruojing smiled at her.

Her smile was dazzling and enticing. After Leng Ling saw it, her face turned red and she let out a snort, turning her head away and ignoring her.

(How dare this woman try to entice me with her beauty!)

(What is she smiling for?)

After Shen Ruojing gave Leng Ling a light smile, she then looked at Dugu Xiao and talked about other conditions. “Mr. Dugu, the fees I charge for consultation are very expensive.”

Dugu Xiao’s eyes narrowed. “Miss Shen can state your price.”

He reached out his hand, and the butler immediately took out the checkbook and a pen.

Dugu Xiao opened up the pen cap and gestured for Shen Ruojing to state her price.

It seemed as if no matter how much money she asked for, he’d be able to pay it.

Ye Lu’s lips twitched. “Our divine doctor isn’t short on money. Do you really think that you can send us off with just money?”

Dugu Xiao raised his brows and put down both the checkbook and pen. He then looked toward Fang Panxia. “I thought that she’s the divine doctor’s consultation fee.”

Shen Ruojing’s lips curled. “She isn’t worth that much.”

Fang Panxia who was the subject of their discussion. “??”

She clenched her fists tightly and felt a sense of humiliation surging up within her.

Dugu Xiao’s eyes narrowed. “Then what else does the divine doctor want?”

“You should understand what it is that I want.” Shen Ruojing completely had the upper hand in this negotiation.

Dugu Xiao suddenly smiled. “Give Miss Shen the recording of Chu Cimo’s innocence in the act of murder.”

When the butler heard this, he walked out unwillingly. In just a moment, he came over with a phone, connected it to the Internet, and then sent the video to the email address that Shen Ruojing provided.

Lu Cheng watched from the side.

The matter that had been troubling the Chu Family during this time seemed to have been easily resolved just like that.

He looked at Shen Ruojing in a daze. At this moment, a feeling of respect, which even he didn’t know he had, gushed out from the bottom of his heart.

The person he had always looked down on, the woman whom he felt wasn’t worthy of Bro Chen, turned out to be an existence that he looked up to all his life!

“Thanks.”

Shen Ruojing checked the mailbox with her phone. After realizing that she had the evidence, she waved her phone at Dugu Xiao and turned to head out.

However, Dugu Xiao said, “The results might not be what you hope to see.”

“We won’t trouble Mr. Dugu for what happens next.”

Even after Shen Ruojing had left, Dugu Xiao was still staring in the direction she had left. A moment later, he then looked at Leng Ling, asking, “Is there a resemblance?”

The butler didn’t understand what he was saying.

Leng Ling sneered. “No matter how great the resemblance is, she is not her.”

Dugu Xiao pursed his lips tightly, his gaze filled with loneliness.

When Leng Ling saw him like this, she suddenly said angrily, “Why are you behaving as if you’re missing her so much? If you really can’t bear to part with her, you wouldn’t have done what you did back then!”

She looked coldly at him. “People like you shouldn’t be saved!”

After saying that, she turned and left angrily.

–

After leaving Dugu Xiao’s room, Shen Ruojing walked to the very front, while Lu Cheng followed next to her. He asked, “What did Dugu Xiao mean at the very end?”

Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze. “The video might be different from what we expected.”

Lu Cheng furrowed his brows tightly. “How different could it be? Could it be that Chu Cimo really killed someone?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t say anything.

The group left Dugu Xiao’s villa and saw that Chu Cichen had gotten out of the car. His tall and slender figure stood next to the car, and there were 12 bodyguards standing behind him, as if they would dash into the villa for a saving operation at any moment.

Upon seeing him, a hint of a smile flashed in Shen Ruojing’s eyes. She walked over and said slowly, “It’s fine now.”

Chu Cichen nodded.

His gaze was fixed on her and he surveyed her closely.

Shen Ruojing crossed her arms and smiled. “I’m not hurt. Don’t look anymore.”

Chu Cichen’s gaze paused and he immediately withdrew it. “Get in the car.”

Shen Ruojing then followed him into the car.

However, Fang Panxia only stood there, looking at them. Shen Ruojing had just entered Dugu Xiao’s house for a short moment, and not only did Bro Chen send her here personally, but he also waited outside for her.

But then, Fang Panxia was the one who was hurt here.

She recalled how she had been beaten up and whipped by Dugu Xiao last night, yet Bro Chen didn’t even give her a single look. This made her feel a sense of rage and helplessness.

She had thought that she’d be able to gain more attention from Bro Chen if she were to go give treatment to Dugu Xiao and successfully complete the mission. However, she didn’t expect to have lost completely.

She took a step forward. “Bro Chen, I have some leads to the matter that you want to investigate…”

But before she could finish her words, Lu Cheng pulled her arm and said in a soft voice, “Don’t talk about these things in front of Miss Shen. Sis Fang, you can take the front passenger seat.”

Fang Panxia. “…” The front passenger seat was for secretaries!

However, after taking a look at the hind passenger seat, she still chose to take the front passenger seat. Lu Cheng walked up to the driver’s seat and looked at Ye Lu who was in the distance.

He recalled how he had previously thought that Ye Lu liked him and thus helped to call the divine doctor over for him. Right now, he had a strong urge to find a hole in the ground and hide in it. He wanted to go over and say something, but then he saw Ye Lu getting into her car, closing the door, and leaving. She showed no hesitation at all.

Her chain of actions was very smooth, not giving him any time to say anything.

“…”

Lu Cheng fell silent for a moment before getting into the car and starting it.

On the way home.

Shen Ruojing said to Chu Cichen, “They’ve sent me Chu Cimo’s video, but I feel that the situation isn’t positive for us.”

As she spoke, she forwarded the video to Chu Cichen and Chu Cimo’s lawyer.

Chu Cichen nodded. “Let’s take a look first and see what the situation is.”

The two of them looked very intimate as they talked to each other.

This made Fang Panxia clutch her clothes tightly. She suddenly said, “Miss Shen, the calming pill was released to the public six years ago. Earlier on, you said that the calming pill was a failed product that was specially made for treating Dugu Xiao’s headaches. Do you already know of his condition six years ago?”

She smiled very innocently. “Or do you know Dugu Xiao since six years ago?”

When Chu Cichen heard this, his body instantly tensed up.

He looked at Shen Ruojing in disbelief.

Other people might not know this, but he was very clear that Dugu Xiao’s headaches were kept a very good secret at the very beginning. And six years ago… the person who kept on seeking doctors and asking for medicine for Dugu Xiao was 518!
