Chapter 12: Where Are You Placing Your Hand?

Liu Lan’s face was filled with rage as she scolded Ye Chen.

She had endured Qin Sisi being seen naked by someone. That, she could tolerate. But Ye Chen was about to touch her as well—this, Liu Lan could not accept.

She spoke coldly, “Ye Chen, five years ago you saved Sisi, and only because of that did I trust you to treat her. But now, do you plan to commit such beastly acts right under my nose?”

Ye Chen frowned, his face full of grievance.

“Aunt Liu, you’ve misunderstood. Miss Qin has been deeply poisoned. Acupuncture alone cannot dispel it. It must be combined with an ancient massage technique to forcibly drive the toxins out of her body!”

“Utter nonsense!” Liu Lan’s face darkened as she glared at Ye Chen.

She was no young woman and understood men’s intentions all too well. With her daughter’s graceful and alluring figure, what man could resist? Ye Chen was obviously using treatment as an excuse to take advantage of her.

Ye Chen’s face was troubled, but he didn’t blame Liu Lan for her anger. Her reaction was, after all, a natural response for a mother.

“Aunt Liu, I can’t explain it clearly to you right now. Just wait and see the results!”

With those words, Ye Chen ignored Liu Lan’s protests and placed his hands directly on Qin Sisi’s calves.

He then channeled his internal energy, infusing it through his palms into Qin Sisi’s body.

Seeing Ye Chen ignore her repeated warnings, Liu Lan erupted in fury.

“Scoundrel, let go of her at once! If you dare put your filthy hands on my daughter’s legs again, I’ll have the bodyguards deal with you!”

Liu Lan shouted as she rushed toward Ye Chen, intending to push him away. But when she reached him and looked at Qin Sisi’s slender legs, she was stunned.

Qin Sisi’s calves were covered in dense black spots, and these spots were spreading upward with visible speed.

Within two seconds, her entire body, even her face, was covered in black blotches.

Qin Sisi looked as though she had been burned. Her skin, which had been as white as lamb’s fat, now resembled charcoal.

“What’s happening? How can this be?” Liu Lan panicked. Just moments ago, her daughter had been fine, and now, in the blink of an eye, she looked like this.

“Aunt Liu, do you see? These are the toxins inside Miss Qin’s body!”

Ye Chen remained calm. His hands, pressing on Qin Sisi’s calves, moved parallel up her thighs.

Wherever Ye Chen’s hands passed, the black spots migrated upward.

Liu Lan stared in astonishment at this miraculous scene, not daring to stop Ye Chen any longer.

As Ye Chen’s hands drew closer to Qin Sisi’s private area, Liu Lan’s expression grew more and more grave.

If Ye Chen touched everywhere, what purity would her daughter have left?

A wild thought flashed through her mind. Since Ye Chen had already seen and touched Sisi, perhaps she should discuss with her husband and betroth her daughter to Ye Chen.

Of course, this thought lasted only an instant.

At that moment, Ye Chen’s hands paused at the base of Qin Sisi’s thighs. He hesitated even more than Liu Lan.

If he did not push further, the toxins would immediately rebound.

Ye Chen raised his head and glanced at Liu Lan, his face full of apology.

“Aunt Liu, I—I have no other choice…”

Liu Lan bit her lip and stiffly nodded at Ye Chen, signaling him to continue, and then turned away, unable to watch.

With Liu Lan’s permission, Ye Chen swallowed hard and continued to move his hands forward.

He passed through Qin Sisi’s most private area, then moved up and down her chest, finally pushing the toxins all the way to the crown of her head.

Ye Chen called out, “Aunt Liu, quickly prepare a trash bin. The toxins will all flow out from the silver needle placed at the top of Miss Qin’s head!”

“Alright!” Liu Lan hurriedly brought a trash bin and positioned it above Qin Sisi’s head.

Soon, a thick, black liquid with a foul odor began to flow along the silver needle.

In no time, Qin Sisi’s skin returned to its lustrous, ivory-white state.

Liu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all this, Ye Chen was drenched in sweat, his strength completely depleted.

This technique, though it seemed simple, was actually very complex.

Ye Chen had to use his internal energy to expel the poison, while also ensuring he did not inject too much at once, lest he damage the cells under Qin Sisi’s skin.

Liu Lan couldn’t help but ask, “Is it done? When will Sisi wake up?”

Ye Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Once I remove the silver needle, Miss Qin will wake within half an hour!”

Hearing Ye Chen’s confident reply, Liu Lan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

Her daughter had truly escaped death this time!

And the process of treatment had been both absurd and unexpected.

After resting for ten minutes, Ye Chen approached the bed and bent down to remove the silver needle from Qin Sisi’s head.

But just as Ye Chen bent over to retrieve the needle, Qin Sisi suddenly opened her eyes.

She saw a strange man leaning over her, and realized her clothes had been stripped away.

“Scoundrel! What are you doing?”

Though her body was still weak, Qin Sisi used all her strength to shrink away in fear.

Ye Chen froze, still bent over, staring at Qin Sisi, unsure what to say in this moment.

Liu Lan, seeing her daughter awaken as if by miracle, relaxed her tightly furrowed brow.

She wanted to go over and explain to Qin Sisi, but before she could reach her, Qin Sisi shouted angrily, “Scoundrel…”

She raised her hand and slapped Ye Chen across the face.

Ye Chen finally reacted, dodging the slap.

He was embarrassed. “Miss Qin, please don’t misunderstand, I was helping you with your treatment!”

Qin Sisi, just awakened, only knew Ye Chen had stripped her naked, and remembered nothing that happened before. She didn’t believe a word he said.

“Scoundrel, what kind of treatment is that? Who treats patients like this?”

With those words, Qin Sisi grabbed the pillow and hurled it at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen dodged the pillow and tried to explain again, “Miss Qin, I really was helping you!”

“Get out, damn you! If you dare strip me again, I’ll have someone gouge your eyes out!” Qin Sisi was burning with rage.

Liu Lan, seeing her daughter misunderstand Ye Chen, quickly rushed over and said, “Sisi, he was truly helping you. If Ye Chen hadn’t saved you, you wouldn’t have survived this ordeal!”

“Hurry and thank him!”
