Chapter 48: This Is a Monster

Wang Lixin indeed felt an inexplicable fondness for the remarkable young man before him. He sensed that this was no ordinary person; the world was vast, full of wonders—could it be that he truly was a man of extraordinary abilities? Yet Wang Lixin dared not fully trust in this youth’s medical skills, unwilling to gamble with his daughter’s life. If he let the young man try and it failed, his beloved daughter would be ruined forever. He had doted on her since childhood; she was clever, beautiful, and capable—only fate had dealt her a cruel hand.

He had never imagined that, in her early twenties, she would face such a calamity. He had originally planned to wait a few more years, hoping that advances in modern medicine might one day cure her illness.

“Director Wang, you should believe in him. I’m certain he can cure Hui’s illness.”

Just as Wang Lixin hesitated, a clear and vibrant female voice called out. He turned his head and saw an exceptionally beautiful young woman approaching.

“The He family’s daughter?” Wang Lixin was taken aback to see He Meixuan. As the daughter of one of the most prominent families in Ninghai City, he certainly recognized her.

Hearing her words, Wang Lixin asked in some confusion, “Miss He, why do you have such confidence in him?”

“Because it was he who cured my mother’s illness!” He Meixuan replied with a radiant smile, nodding as she spoke. By then, she had already walked up to Chen Yufeng, raising both thumbs in a grand gesture of approval. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she exclaimed, “Wow, I saw everything just now. Your skills are really incredible!”

“Oh, that was nothing special,” Chen Yufeng replied, waving a hand dismissively and feigning nonchalance. “I’m a man of many talents. That was just child’s play—I’m capable of much more.”

At these words, everyone present was once again stunned.

Good heavens, was he boasting too much? Skills like that were just child’s play?

He Meixuan knew Chen Yufeng had great abilities, but even she was taken aback by his bravado. “Oh? And what else can you do? Tell us,” she challenged, rolling her eyes.

“Well… do you know what people call me?” he asked.

“What?”

“The Master of Flowers. Do you understand?”

“What does that mean?” she pressed.

Chen Yufeng glanced at her, grinning slyly. “That’s a complicated question. I’d need to explain it to you in bed.”

“You—!” He Meixuan realized he was teasing her. A flush rose to her cheeks as she shot him a look of disdain. “Shameless!”

Ahem! Wang Lixin, seeing the pair bickering like a couple, quickly cleared his throat to remind them of the situation. He then turned to He Meixuan, asking, “Miss He, did you really just say this young man cured your mother’s illness?”

“Mm-hmm, just today!” He Meixuan replied honestly.

“Oh? So it was truly this young man who cured Mrs. He?”

“Of course! Why would I lie to you? Would there be any reward?” she joked.

“No, no… That’s wonderful,” Wang Lixin replied. He knew well what condition Mrs. He had suffered from—it was much like Wang Hui’s. Now, hearing that this remarkable youth had cured her, he began to feel a glimmer of hope.

Where before he had doubted Chen Yufeng’s claim that he could cure Wang Hui, now his reservations had almost vanished. He became visibly excited, and after regaining his composure, he grasped Chen Yufeng’s hand, his voice trembling with emotion. “Young man, I didn’t expect you to be a divine healer. I’ll entrust her to you. She is my only daughter—if you can cure her, you will be my greatest benefactor. I will be forever grateful.”

“That’s no trouble,” Chen Yufeng nodded solemnly. “Just give me one minute. But I have one request: I don’t want anyone watching, so I’ll need to take her somewhere private, with no surveillance cameras.”

“What? One minute is enough?” The words left everyone astonished—not just Wang Lixin, but all the officers present wore expressions of disbelief.

Was he just spouting nonsense? Did he really think himself a miracle worker? Even if he could cure her, surely it would take more than a minute or two! Did he take them for fools?

While everyone else reacted with shock and suspicion, He Meixuan merely smiled quietly, for she had seen his skills and believed in him completely.

Wang Lixin, however, was once again unsettled. He dared not risk his daughter’s life so lightly. Yet given everything that had happened, and the extraordinary skills Chen Yufeng had already displayed, he couldn’t help but hope. Besides, there was the case of Mrs. He’s recovery. After careful consideration, Wang Lixin finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. “Very well, young man, I will trust you.”

“Yes, you won’t regret it. I’ll show you a miracle,” Chen Yufeng replied with a confident smile.

“All right, come with me,” Wang Lixin said.

Following Chen Yufeng’s request, Wang Lixin immediately led him to a secure room with no cameras. Wang Hui, her hands bound, was forcibly brought inside. Wang Lixin and the other officers waited outside.

He was still extremely anxious—this was no trivial matter; any misstep could endanger his daughter’s life.

Seeing his worried expression, He Meixuan quickly reassured him, “Uncle Wang, don’t worry. Trust him—he will cure Hui’s illness.”

“Thank you, Meixuan,” Wang Lixin replied with a strained smile, though he still couldn’t fully relax. He asked, “By the way, Meixuan, this young man looks to be about twenty. Is he a university student, or what does he do?”

“Well…” He Meixuan replied with a slightly awkward smile, “Actually, I’ve only known him for a few days myself, so I don’t really know much about his background. It seems he tells fortunes and heals people.”

“What? You’ve only known him a few days, and you trust him this much?”

“Didn’t you see his skills just now? And besides, my mother really was cured by him. Even though it all seems incredible, that’s simply the truth.”

“Yes, I suppose you’re right. In any case, he’s already inside. All we can do is pin our hopes on him now. Heaven help us…”

He Meixuan, having witnessed Chen Yufeng’s miraculous abilities, had no doubts at all. But for Wang Lixin and the officers, who had never seen such things, their suspicion and worry were only natural.

To cure a patient with mental illness in under a minute—such a feat was simply unbelievable. Who could bring themselves to believe it?
