Chapter One: An Unexpected Incident

At the entrance of a shabby apartment building in Yunhai City, Qin Feng, who was just about to head to work, found his path blocked by more than a dozen Rolls-Royces. A look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Ahead of him stood a striking beauty in a red hip-hugging dress, her figure alluring and graceful. Her expression was solemn, and the attendants beside her were carrying marriage gifts worth over a hundred million in total, dazzling beyond measure.

There was a seaside villa in the city, a Ferrari SF90, and even a thousand taels of gold. The extravagance was enough to leave anyone speechless.

“Aunt Lan, since ancient times it has always been the groom’s side that gives gifts to the bride’s family. When has there ever been any reason for the woman to throw herself at the man?”

“If people found out, wouldn’t they say I’m just living off a woman?”

Qin Feng gave a bitter smile. If he had known this would happen, he should never have gone back to break off the engagement the old man had arranged for him when he returned from overseas.

Now look what had happened.

The engagement had not been broken, and instead Lan Fang had come after him relentlessly.

“I’m just an intern doctor now. Our families are not a match, and besides, I have no feelings for Director Xu. A forced melon is never sweet. Please, just let me go.”

To Qin Feng, it was incomprehensible what exactly Lan Fang had taken a liking to about him.

As a child, he often visited the Xu family to play, and had greatly won Lan Fang’s affection.

Lan Fang snorted lightly and stepped forward to twist his ear, her tone forceful. “Let you go? Dream on.”

“I’ve set my sights on you. Don’t tell me you have no money. My Xu family is not short of money. Besides, I’m looking for a son-in-law, not a money tree. I don’t need you to have any background.”

“As for feelings, those can be built slowly. Weren’t you and Half-Summer always on good terms when you were young? Of course, if she dares give you a hard time at the hospital, just tell me. I’ll deal with her myself!”

Hearing this, Qin Feng only felt his throat go dry, and he gradually avoided Lan Fang’s gaze, too afraid to look her in the eye.

Mainly because Lan Fang, though over forty, was in the prime of her charm. Neither her skin nor her figure was inferior to a young girl’s, and time had added a unique allure to her.

A novice like him could hardly bear it.

Seeing his reaction, Lan Fang smiled with pursed lips. Her phoenix eyes were full of seduction as she spoke in a voice soft as orchid fragrance.

“Xiao Feng, as long as you become my son-in-law, rest assured Aunt Lan will never treat you badly.”

“Whatever you want, Aunt Lan will give you.”

Any man hearing those words would probably waver on the spot.

Only Qin Feng took a deep breath and said, “Auntie, I really am not suitable for Director Xu.”

“If I don’t leave now, I’m really going to be late for work. Let’s talk another day if there’s a chance.”

With that, he quickly slipped away, threading through the encirclement at a speed like a fading shadow, vanishing from everyone’s sight as though a web of enchantment lay behind him.

When she came to herself, Lan Fang was so angry she stamped her feet, hands on her hips.

“That little brat slipped away again!”

“What are you all good for?”

The others wore bitter expressions. They were all trained experts, yet faced with Qin Feng’s escape, they had no way to stop him.

“Madam, should we go after him?”

“After what? Stop wasting time and think of another way.” Lan Fang glared at the speaker and left, swaying her round, lifted hips.

...

Yunhai People’s Hospital.

Qin Feng rushed there as fast as he could, but in the end, he was still late.

“Ha...”

Looking up at the towering hospital building, Qin Feng let out a soft sigh. Counting today, he had been late four times this week.

The other times were also all related to Lan Fang’s repeated pressure for marriage.

“The old man found me a hospital job, and it just so happens to be under that she-devil. Is he deliberately waiting to laugh at me?”

Qin Feng felt quite helpless.

In truth, he was the lord of the underworld nation, renowned across the seas. The so-called underworld nation was an organization that gathered world-class elites from every industry. Under its banner were a fearsome mercenary corps and the Dragon Vein Bank, which gathered wealth from across the world.

This time he had returned in secrecy to investigate the truth of his origins.

He was originally the son of the Qin family of Yunhai. Back then, the Qin family had been one of the most powerful clans in the city. Yet after an accident, both of his parents vanished while outside the home.

Later, a mysterious fire utterly destroyed the Qin family.

It was only thanks to the old man that he had been saved; otherwise, he would already have perished in the flames.

But what he had never expected was that after returning, let alone finding any clues, he was almost tied to the hospital every day by that “she-devil.”

The “she-devil” naturally referred to Director Xu of the emergency department, his fiancée Xu Half-Summer.

Xu Half-Summer acted with iron resolve and no regard for sentiment, making the entire department work overtime every day.

By her reasoning, the emergency department existed to handle sudden crises; a little extra overtime could greatly improve rescue time.

“Bodhisattvas, please, just let me avoid running into that she-devil...”

“I really don’t want to write another ten-thousand-character self-criticism.”

Qin Feng prayed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the department entrance, a mocking voice came from within.

“Well, well, Qin Feng. I was wondering why I couldn’t find you anywhere in the whole department. So you were late again.”

“It’s you.” Qin Feng frowned.

The man before him wore a white coat, and the badge on his chest read Associate Chief Physician of the Emergency Department. His name was Zhang Bin.

Ever since Qin Feng entered the hospital, Zhang Bin had constantly put obstacles in his way and made things difficult for him.

“You’ve barely been in the hospital a few days, and you’re already late almost every day. With this attitude, do you still want to become a regular employee?”

Zhang Bin sneered, not giving Qin Feng the slightest friendly look.

Qin Feng was too lazy to argue and said indifferently, “Whether I can become regular or not, I don’t think that’s for Associate Director Zhang to decide.”

“As for being late, I’ll personally report it to the director.”

From what he knew, Zhang Bin’s brother-in-law had originally been in his current position, only for Qin Feng to cut in and take it midway.

It was no wonder the man held resentment. So long as the other side did not cross his bottom line, Qin Feng did not wish to make a fuss.

“What do you mean by that? As a mere associate, I can’t even control you now?”

Zhang Bin’s expression turned cold, and he continued, “You won’t be able to see the director for now. She’s in a meeting with the hospital’s senior leadership.”

As he spoke, a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes, and his tone shifted.

“However, our department has just received a patient. This patient’s fever will not go down, and she is being observed in the ward.”

“She was originally under my care, but I have urgent business and can’t get away. Go help her bring the fever down physically.”

“If you do this well, I can help cover for your lateness.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng could not help but ask suspiciously, “You’re being this kind?”

Helping a patient with a high fever cool down physically was nothing more than wiping down the body with a damp towel or using cold compresses. How hard could that be?

Would he really give up the chance to pick on him over something so small?

Qin Feng truly did not believe it.

“Believe it or not, that’s your business. In any case, I’ve already assigned it to you.” Zhang Bin snorted coldly. “I have other matters to attend to. I’ll be off.”

Qin Feng frowned slightly. Seeing that the other man really did not care, and considering his duty as a doctor, he still asked, “Which ward is the patient in?”

“Fourth floor, the first private room on the left.”

As Qin Feng went upstairs, Zhang Bin’s eyes revealed undisguised malice, and a cold smile spread repeatedly across his lips.

Idiot. Today is the day I send you packing!

By then, no matter how you defend yourself, what will you do?

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin dialed a number and said with a wicked grin, “Young Master Sun, just as you said, the scapegoat has been found. That woman today will definitely not escape death.”

Qin Feng knew nothing of this. When he reached the target ward and pushed the door open, he found it empty, with only clothes strewn all over the floor.

They were all women’s undergarments.

“What’s going on?”

Qin Feng muttered under his breath and was just about to take out his phone to ask what was happening when, suddenly, a woman appeared from nowhere and violently shoved him to the ground.

When he looked up, his eyes went straight.

The woman had exquisite features and skin that was faintly flushed. More importantly, that flawless, delicate body of hers had not a single stitch of clothing on it...

“Beauty, you...”

Qin Feng widened his eyes. Before he could finish speaking, it was as if the woman possessed some boundless power, and even his consciousness began to blur...
