Romantic Medical Immortal

The three of them returned to the Kong Family Villa and found Kong Lingchuan still awake, sitting on the sofa waiting for them.

Seeing them come in, Kong Lingchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You finally came back, I’ve been worried sick, afraid something happened to you."

"Yang Cheng, why are you covered in blood? Did you get hurt?"

He noticed the mottled bloodstains on Yang Cheng and was immediately startled.

"Just a minor injury."

Yang Cheng replied briefly, and then sat directly on the sofa to relax with his eyes closed, looking somewhat fatigued.

Having just gone through a life-and-death battle with Chi Ren, his True Qi was greatly depleted. For the sake of the Kong Family, he almost lost his life. Tonight, he definitely needed to recuperate from Kong Lingwen.

"Eh? Who is this dirty kid? Why did you take in a beggar?"

Kong Lingchuan pointed at Wu Ji with a disdainful look.

"What are you talking about! His name is Wu Ji, we rescued him from the Jile Clubhouse, he’s going to live here from now on."

Kong Lingwen gave him an annoyed glance.

Worried Wu Ji might be upset, she softly comforted, "Wu Ji, don’t mind him. His mouth never speaks kind words."

Wu Ji nodded, looking very well-behaved, but just now when protecting her, he was like a little wolf cub, full of ferocity.

"Sis, you’re abandoning me for a new brother?"

Kong Lingchuan’s eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Ever since he realized how wrong his actions were, he’s been particularly afraid his family would abandon him.

Previously, he was too proud and arrogant. Now thinking it over, as such a useless person, he might starve if he left the Kong Family.

Kong Lingwen looked speechless, took a deep breath and said, "I’m planning to recognize Wu Ji as my brother, as for you, it’ll depend on your actions. If you remain muddle-headed, I’ll truly disown you."

"I understand, from now on I’ll consult with you and Dad on all matters. If I make another mistake, I’ll leave the Kong Family myself!"

Kong Lingchuan hastily pledged loyalty, patting his chest.

At this time, Yang Cheng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Kong Lingchuan, did you see the Beast Fighting when you went to the clubhouse before?"

"What Beast Fighting? I don’t know. Every time I went to the clubhouse, it was for drinking, gambling, and sleeping with women."

Kong Lingchuan laughed foolishly.

"Yang Cheng, with my sister accompanying you today, you probably didn’t get a chance to enjoy yourself. The name ’Jile Clubhouse’ is just too apt, it’s simply a man’s paradise, offering king-like treatment."

"When did you first go to Jile Clubhouse?"

Yang Cheng asked.

"About three or four months ago. It was my uncle who gave me the badge, told Cao Zhihao to take me there to broaden my horizons. So, I’ve always felt my uncle treats me very well, he never scolded me and even let me play at Jile Clubhouse for free."

Kong Lingchuan now belatedly realized, what broadening horizons, it was clearly a trap.

After discovering that Cao Ruibin had been exploiting him all along, he slowly figured out many things.

The Cao Family father and son pretended to be so good to him; in reality, it was to seize the Kong Family’s assets. If his father and sister were dead, the Kong Family would eventually fall into Cao Ruibin’s hands.

"You’re foolish! That’s the Cao Family father and son plotting against you. You never got in contact with the core of the clubhouse, not even seeing the Beast Fighting!"

Kong Lingwen tapped him on the forehead, then recounted the day’s events.

Listening to this, Kong Lingchuan’s mouth was wide open, almost able to fit an egg, his face full of shock.

He had always played in private rooms, never visiting the Beast Fighting arena, and hadn’t expected such a bloody show existed in the clubhouse.

"So this kid was rescued from the Beast Fighting arena, despite his weak appearance he could fight the beasts?"

He pointed at Wu Ji, looking incredulous.

"It was sir who guided me, otherwise I would have been eaten by the Vajra Ape."

Wu Ji immediately spoke, looking gratefully at Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng beckoned him over, indicating for him to sit beside him, and softly said, "Wu Ji, call me brother from now on. Tell me, why were you captured and brought into the clubhouse?"

Wu Ji nodded, tears quickly filling his eyes.

"The bad people from the clubhouse went to my hometown, capturing me and my sister, forcing us to brew poison. But my sister knew they intended to hurt people, she refused to agree."

"They were especially angry and kept beating me, brought several men to humiliate my sister. I couldn’t bear to watch, so I agreed to brew poison for them."

He choked up, tears dropping like broken beads.

"Back then, my sister scolded me, saying the poison of the Jia Ling tribe could only be used against evil people, not to harm innocents. But if I didn’t agree, she would be tortured to death, so I made a poison for them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Cheng quickly asked, "The poison you mentioned, does it cause rapid skin infection and ulceration upon inhalation?"

Tears still on his face, Wu Ji nodded, "Yes! This poison is called Red Beauty Drunk, causing red rashes and ulcerations, then gradually spreading to the internal organs, eventually rotting the body to death."

"So you created that poison!"

Kong Lingwen was astonished, no wonder the hospital doctors couldn’t cure it. Unexpectedly, Cao Ruibin went out of his way to bring the siblings skilled in Poison Technique over to deal with the Kong Family.

"I don’t want to harm anyone, they forced me. I couldn’t watch my sister die."

Wu Ji couldn’t help but sob, looking extremely pitiful.

Yang Cheng frowned and asked, "Where is your sister? Why didn’t you tell me when we left?"

"She...she’s dead!"

After Wu Ji said this, he collapsed entirely, starting to wail.

Seeing his grief, the three remained silent, giving him enough time to vent.

"I agreed to brew poison for those bad people, thinking as long as they got the poison, they would let my sister and me go. Who knew those beasts took turns bullying my sister, she couldn’t bear the humiliation and bit off her tongue to kill herself."

Wu Ji clutched his chest, tears flooding, his frail body trembling.

"It’s all because I’m useless, I couldn’t protect my sister. If I were as powerful as big brother, those beasts wouldn’t succeed!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng sighed and gently patted his back, comforting, "Wu Ji, you’re only a teenager, at your age I didn’t even dare speak out when bullied, you’re much braver than me."

"It’s not your fault but those bad people. What you can do now is grow stronger quickly, avenge your sister, crying won’t solve anything."

Wu Ji’s sobs gradually ceased, he looked up at Yang Cheng and asked with a sniff, "Big brother, can you help me?"

"Of course I’ll help you, but now isn’t the time for revenge, we need to find the true mastermind."

Yang Cheng nodded, speaking seriously.
