My Silly, Sweet Wife

Jinling Royal Mansion.

The guards were more stringent than ever before.

Almost every exit had several bodyguards posted.

There were even many top-level experts.

Outside one of the villas, over a dozen warriors stood watch, their faces full of vigilance.

Inside the villa’s bedroom.

Wang Xiao lay on the bed with a pale face, his breathing somewhat rapid.

A single woman sat by the bedside.

Though the woman appeared to be in her fifties, her figure and appearance were still exquisite, showing no signs of aging.

Her eyes were red as if she was holding back tears, her hands tightly grasping Wang Xiao’s withered hand.

”Father, what on earth is wrong with you? Big brother has gone to get the doctor. Please hold on a bit longer, they’ll be here soon.”

The middle-aged woman named Wang Ruolan was Wang Xiao’s youngest daughter.

Wang Xiao managed to squeeze out a faint smile, ”Don’t cry, everyone’s life and death have their time. I, Wang Xiao, have lived a worthwhile life. It’s just that my only concern now is your second uncle. If I do pass away, our Wang Family might be taken over by him.”

”Father, stop talking so much. Just wait for the doctor to arrive, they’ll treat you, then you can speak slowly.” Wang Ruolan shook her head continuously.

Wang Xiao forced a bitter smile: ”I know my situation. There might be someone in this world who can save me, but it’s definitely not the doctor you’re talking about.”

”What? Father, what do you mean?” Wang Ruolan was stunned.

It was said that recently the President of the Jiangnan Province Herbal Medicine Association, Mai Gu, was conducting an inspection in Jinling. Mai Gu was the best doctor in the country, and if he could be brought in, he could definitely save her father’s life.

But now Wang Xiao was saying that the person who could save him wasn’t a doctor?

Wang Xiao asked weakly: ”Has Luo Meng returned?”

”Not yet.” Speaking of Luo Meng, Wang Ruolan’s face turned a bit ugly: ”Father, rest assured. With Luo Meng around, that boy named Ye Guichen definitely won’t escape! He must have a death wish for daring to kidnap Xiao Ying! If it weren’t for that boy, you wouldn’t have been so enraged and wouldn’t be in this condition.”

As she spoke, she was gnashing her teeth as if she wanted to tear Ye Guichen to pieces.

Wang Xiao didn’t explain: ”When Luo Meng returns, bring that boy called Ye Guichen to me.”

”Father, don’t worry. We won’t let anything happen to Xiao Ying,” Wang Ruolan said firmly. ”Once Luo Meng captures that boy, we’ll make sure he wishes he were dead. If anything happens to Xiao Ying, we won’t let him or his family off.”

”No, I don’t…” Wang Xiao was about to explain when suddenly he felt a rush of blood and spat out fresh blood, falling unconscious on the spot.

”Father!” Wang Ruolan couldn’t help but cry out.

At that moment, the door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man with a square face entered, followed by an elderly man.

The middle-aged man exuded the aura of a high-ranking figure, while the elderly man, appearing over seventy but walking with vigor, was none other than Mai Gu.

”Brother, Father has fainted again.” As soon as Wang Ruolan saw the middle-aged man enter, she cried out.

The middle-aged man was named Wang Chaoyang, Wang Ying’s father.

Seeing Wang Xiao unconscious, Wang Chaoyang quickly stepped forward, his expression changing. He hurriedly said to Mai Gu: ”Divine Doctor Mai, please check on my father.”

Mai Gu stepped forward, felt Wang Xiao’s pulse, and furrowed his brow.

Wang Chaoyang and Wang Ruolan stood by, not daring to breathe.

Only after several minutes did Mai Gu release Wang Xiao’s hand and sigh: ”Strange, your father’s energy is chaotic, but there are no symptoms of an illness.”

”How can that be!” Wang Ruolan couldn’t believe it: ”Divine Doctor Mai, how could he faint without any symptoms? And he’s coughed up blood several times. Please take a look, money is no issue, as long as you can cure Father, you’ll be our Wang Family’s benefactor. Whatever you request, just say it.”

Mai Gu shook his head: ”I don’t mean that. I’ve met King Jinling before and know he’s an open-minded person. It’s just very strange. Don’t worry, I’ll observe further.”

While speaking, Mai Gu resumed examining Wang Xiao’s body.

The more he examined, the more his expression grew grave.

This time, after finishing, Mai Gu raised his head: ”If I’m not mistaken, the old master may have been practicing a peculiar cultivation technique, resulting in a reversal of his bodily energy.”

”Cultivation technique?” Wang Ruolan looked at Wang Chaoyang in confusion.

Ignoring Wang Ruolan, Wang Chaoyang pleaded: ”Divine Doctor Mai, I know you come from the Shennong Sect. In all of Hua Country, your medical skills are unmatched. There must be a way to save Father, I’m begging you!”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Mai Gu.

Mai Gu quickly pulled him up: ”General Wang, please don’t. It’s not that I don’t want to help, I truly have no way! I’m not well-versed in martial arts, and the old master’s cultivation technique is very strange. Unless my mentor were here, otherwise…”

At this, Mai Gu’s eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead: ”Right, there might be someone who can save the old master.”

”Who? Where are they?” Wang Chaoyang and Wang Ruolan were overjoyed at the news and eagerly asked: ”Divine Doctor Mai, where is this person? No matter how far, where they are, tell us and we’ll bring them at once.”

After speaking, Mai Gu shook his head and sighed: ”He’s the leader of our Shennong Sect, but he’s recently gone missing, and I don’t know where he is. Let me make a call and check.”

Under the eager gaze of Wang Chaoyang and Wang Ruolan, he took out his phone, made several calls but no one answered.

Mai Gu looked apologetic: ”No one’s answering, I truly have no way.”

The faces of both Wang Chaoyang and Wang Ruolan turned ashen.

Wang Ruolan turned pale and couldn’t help but curse: ”It’s all because of that little bastard. If it weren’t for him, Father wouldn’t be like this! I’m going to kill him!”

With that, she stormed out.

Wang Ruolan barely made it outside when she saw a car speeding toward her.

She recognized the car as the one Luo Meng was using to capture Ye Guichen.

The car stopped.

Impatiently, she rushed forward, not even waiting to speak before the car door was opened.

Two men were thrown out from both sides of the back seat.

Both men’s arms were limp, clearly crippled.

Wang Ruolan was stunned, her face scrunched. Looking closely, she saw the two men were An Kunlun and Pang Quan.

”What’s going on?” Wang Ruolan frowned.

Luo Meng quickly got out of the car and approached Wang Ruolan respectfully, his face full of embarrassment: ”Madam, I brought the person, but…”

”Move aside!” Not listening to Luo Meng’s drivel, she pushed him away and ran to the car. She was about to act when she saw Ye Guichen leisurely step out from the back seat.

It didn’t feel like he had been captured but rather invited.
