Chapter 20

How to Learn

Ma San shuddered in fright.

At this moment, Zhao Siming pulled him aside, then faced Chen Huan with a stern face and said, "What do you mean?"

"You know that the person lying there is Ma San's own mother. Would he joke about his own mother's life?"

"I know you're having an affair with Zhao Liping, but you don't have to disregard your principles and protect her like this, do you?"

"Did she give him the injection? Did he die because of her?"

"Given the current situation, what explanation do you have?"

Chen Huan pointed to the old woman, whose body looked stiff, and said, "She's not dead."

"It's just that they were drugged by a heartless person."

"A folk remedy from the countryside can numb the heart and induce symptoms of apparent death."

"But if you examine it carefully, you can still feel a faint pulse."

He spoke with great confidence, but as soon as he finished speaking, Ma San started trembling, clearly looking guilty.

  

The Zhao family members who barged in all had shifty eyes.

Zhao Liping's eyes widened. "Chen Huan, are you telling the truth?"

"No wonder, when I wanted to examine it carefully, that bastard Ma San kept stopping me."

"I've heard of this drug too. If it's left untreated for too long, it can really kill you."

"Ma San, are you even human?"

Ma San knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "I had no choice. I owe Zhao Dashan three thousand yuan in gambling debts, and now it's ballooned to thirty thousand yuan with the interest."

"They said they would forgive my debt if I cooperated with this charade, but who would have thought that you would expose me so easily."

"Please, someone, have some compassion and save my mother."

Zhao Dashan kicked Ma San to the ground, yelling, "Coward, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"We came to help you get justice, and you actually turn around and bite us?"

"I suspect you conspired with Zhao Liping and Chen Huan beforehand to harm us!"

Chen Siming gave a wink, and several relatives immediately stood in front of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Chen Huan, I understand less and less what you're saying."

"This old lady looks like she's already dead, how can you lie like that?"

"If you insist on taking responsibility for Zhao Liping, then this life will be attributed to both of you."

Judging from his words, he knew that the old lady could still be saved, but he wanted to delay and let her die on the bed.

In this way, with no one to testify against the dead, Zhao Liping is the culprit, and Chen Huan will also get into trouble.

Ma San panicked immediately, "No, village chief, you can't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dashan kicked him out again.

Zhao Liping was anxious again, but she was helpless against the village chief's family, who outnumbered her, and could only wipe away her tears and cry.

"Why are you crying? I'm still right here."

"With me here, no one can harm you. No one will die here today, at least no innocent people will die." Chen Huan patted Zhao Liping on the back and comforted her.

Next, take a step directly towards the edge of the kang (heated brick bed).

Those cronies of Old Zhao's family are all paper tigers.

They all knew very well that Chen Huan was now capable of beating anyone, and his fighting prowess was exceptionally formidable.

Therefore, at this moment, it is best to immediately and tactfully back away, even if Zhao Siming glares at you, it will be useless.

Just as Chen Huan was about to check on the old lady, Zhao Siming immediately took out his phone and switched to recording mode. "Chen Huan, have you thought this through? Now all the responsibility lies with Zhao Liping."

"But if you do it, you'll definitely get into trouble, and people might blame you for everything."

Chen Huan ignored him completely and pressed his hand directly onto the old lady's chest.

A wisp of true energy was slowly injected, and a response was immediately received.

Just as expected, the medication numbed his heart, leaving him with only a tiny bit of life force.

Chen Huan immediately used the medical skills he had inherited, combined with his true qi, to slowly amplify the old woman's remaining life force, eventually restoring her normal heartbeat.

The old lady took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"Holy crap, he really came back to life?" Zhao Dashan was dumbfounded.

Zhao Siming immediately put away the phone, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"How about it, village chief? Should we take the old lady to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any drug residues?" Chen Huan asked Zhao Siming with a mocking look.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Zhao Siming said, feigning ignorance.

Then he turned his face and glared at Ma San, who had just gotten up, and said, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself."

Ma San stammered, "It's probably a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Let's leave it at that."

Zhao Siming snorted and turned to Chen Huan again, "You promised to prescribe medicine for Dazhu, but so much time has passed, where's the prescription?"

Chen Huan readily asked Zhao Liping for paper and pen and wrote down a prescription.

However, instead of rushing to give it away, he said slowly and deliberately, "Zhao Liping is my person. Don't you dare lay a finger on her. If you have any grudges or conflicts, come at me directly. Do you understand?"

Zhao Siming gritted his teeth, "You're really a shrew. Fine, I'll settle scores with you later. I hope you can handle it."

After saying that, he took the prescription and left with his men.

Chen Huan glanced at the dejected Ma San with utter contempt and cursed, "You bastard, if you ever dare to do something like this again, I'll drug you and kill you."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it anytime."

Ma San shook his head repeatedly, "I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare. Thank you for saving my mother."

Chen Huan walked out with a gloomy face.

Soon, Zhao Liping followed her out.

After walking for a while, I took him to the back of a secluded woodpile.

Staring into his eyes, she asked, "Chen Huan, what exactly happened just now?"

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "What's going on? You still don't understand?"

"The Zhao Siming family conspired with Ma San to drug his mother, trying to frame you."

"Once you think you're involved in a murder case, aren't you at the mercy of others?"

Zhao Liping slowly shook her head. "No, that's not what I'm asking about."

"My question is, how did you revive the old lady?"

"After the injection, I did a quick check and found that there was indeed no heartbeat."

"Even if you were poisoned by the one you mentioned, as far as I know, without an antidote, not only would your life be in danger, but it wouldn't be easy to recover."

"What exactly did you do?"

Chen Huan rubbed his nose. "Would you believe me if I said I accidentally learned some medical skills?"

Zhao Liping blinked her big eyes, thought seriously for a few seconds, and then replied, "What kind of medical skills did you learn that are so amazing? You just prescribed medicine for Zhao Dazhu."

"If you really know this kind of technology, could you please teach me?"

"My mediocre medical skills are only good enough to handle minor ailments like headaches and fevers. If I were to encounter a situation like today, I would be completely helpless."

"Please, teach me."

Chen Huan looked at Zhao Liping's anxious expression, his gaze drifting down her fair face.

He licked his lips and said, "It's not impossible for you to learn if you want."

"However, there's an old saying that goes, if you want to learn something, cough cough, you have to sleep with your master first..."
