Chapter 1184 - 1184 1184 Refusal

Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: Refusal Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: Refusal “I want to ask you something,” Chen Xiaoyi took two deep breaths before asking Luo Ziling very seriously, “Would you be willing to treat my brother?”

Luo Ziling had originally thought that Chen Xiaoyi would ask whether the incident involving Chen Jiahai was related to him, but to his surprise, she didn’t bring it up at all, which left him quite taken aback. He was so surprised that he couldn’t react immediately and just stood there, stunned.

Chen Xiaoyi, with calm eyes, repeated the question and then said softly, “I know your medical skills are extraordinary. Some people who were on the brink of death recovered their health after your treatment; you’ve created many miracles, and Fang Dongxun is a testament to that.”

“Your brother tried to kill me several times, and I also wish he were dead. Do you think I should treat him?” Luo Ziling counter-asked Chen Xiaoyi.

“It’s precisely because of that that I came to ask you in person,” Chen Xiaoyi lowered her head, “I know there have been many misunderstandings and conflicts between you. Chen Jiahai tried several times to put you in a deadly situation. He doesn’t get along with me either; we often have conflicts.”

After a pause, Chen Xiaoyi continued, “But he is my brother, and we are siblings. His life is hanging by a thread, and I cannot simply stand by. That’s why I took the liberty of coming to you today, hoping you would treat him. I know this puts you in a difficult position, but I still hope you can help me.”

“If my information is correct, Chen Jiahai is currently staying in Hospital 401, right? The best hospital in Huaxia, with top-notch medical equipment and exceptionally skilled doctors. If even they can’t cure your brother, save his life, then I fear I am also powerless,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, then added self-deprecatingly, “I am human, not a deity.”

“Doctors at Hospital 401 were powerless, but Old Mr. Ling, after your treatment, is now healthy again.” Chen Xiaoyi, knowing that Luo Ziling would refuse and mentally prepared for it, did not get angry but continued to reason with him calmly, “In my heart, you are the best doctor. I know for sure you have a way to cure Chen Jiahai. So, I still hope you can save my brother’s life.”

Before Luo Ziling could answer, she went on, “In the past, you had conflicts with Fang Dongxun, but after you treated his injuries, he became your friend. Isn’t this one stone killing several birds? It not only cleared away past grievances but also gained friendship. I guarantee that if you save my brother’s life, the Chen Family will definitely be grateful to you.”

“Chen Jiahai is different from Fang Dongxun,” Luo Ziling said with a bitter expression, “I wish I could be clear about gratitude and grudges. A person who treats me well, I will treat well in return; a person who wants to kill me should get stabbed by me too, rather than have their life saved when they are about to die. If I saved his life and after he recovers, he hates me even more due to his disability and tries by all means to take my life, wouldn’t I be digging my own grave?”

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyi was speechless.

Luo Ziling remained silent too, merely sipping his tea quietly.

At that moment, the waiter brought in the meal and Chen Xiaoyi’s coffee as well.

After thanking the waiter, Chen Xiaoyi began to eat.

“Did you really not take part in this matter?” She only asked after having a few bites.

“I thought you were seeking me out to probe into this matter, not for anything else.” Luo Ziling still wore a bitter smile, “I know you suspect I was involved in this. Let me tell you this much, I genuinely wish Chen Jiahai would die sooner, so my life could be a bit more peaceful; otherwise, I never know when I’ll fall into another one of his traps. A lot of trouble in my life has been brought by him. I’m confident I haven’t offended him; it’s only because I’m close to Ouyang Feifei, whom he wants to pursue, that’s all. He should use his own abilities to woo her, and if he can’t win Ouyang Feifei’s affection on his own merit, why should he take his anger out on me?”

After she heard this, Chen Xiaoyi fell silent again.

Luo Ziling didn’t answer her question directly, but she felt it inappropriate to press further.

“If I have the chance, I really would kill him,” Luo Ziling suddenly took a big gulp of tea, “If my information is correct, Chen Jiahai was injured during a degenerate party he planned, when a girl who couldn’t stand the humiliation fought back, bit off his genitalia, then stabbed him, and also injured a few others, right? That girl, she lost her life too? If I were to save someone, it definitely wouldn’t be your beastly brother but that girl.”

Actually, if Luo Ziling hadn’t encountered something when he was out with Lin Lan, if Chen Wanqing hadn’t become Huang Menglan after plastic surgery, trying to ruin him, he might not have been so angry, so intent on killing him.

He was at the end of his tether.

Over the past twenty years, he never killed a person, only wild beasts, and saved many lives. To make someone who has saved so many lives take another requires a firm resolution, or a particularly serious situation.

But he hadn’t expected that Chen Wanqing would actually submit to his threat and act on it immediately.

It was an unexpected piece of good fortune. Chen Wanqing got what she deserved.

Had Chen Wanqing not died, but merely been injured, he might have actually saved her.

Because of his hatred for Chen Jiahai, that’s why he repeatedly refused when Chen Xiaoyi came to ask him for help.

Chen Xiaoyi, not expecting Luo Ziling to respond this way, stopped eating and looked at him blankly.

“The story of the farmer and the snake, my grandfather has been telling me since I was a child, I don’t want to be the pitiful farmer,” Luo Ziling looked directly at Chen Xiaoyi, “Moreover, I probably wouldn’t be able to reattach Chen Jiahai’s bitten-off genitalia, nor am I certain I could save his life. I believe your parents also wouldn’t approve of the medical skills of a student who’s just in his first year at medical school. So even if I agreed to help you, your family wouldn’t agree, right?”

Chen Xiaoyi was silent again, her eyelids drooping quietly.

Coming to ask Luo Ziling for help was really just an impulsive act on her part; she hadn’t informed anyone else, nor had she discussed it with her parents.

Actually, her decision to find Luo Ziling was also a spur-of-the-moment choice. The purpose of looking for Luo Ziling was to verify whether he was involved in this matter. But on her way to meet Luo Ziling, she thought of his medical skills and immediately had another idea—to ask Luo Ziling to help treat Chen Jiahai’s injuries.

She believed, with Luo Ziling’s medical skills, he could extend Chen Jiahai’s life.

Of course, she also wanted to gauge whether Luo Ziling was a suspect in the matter.

If Luo Ziling showed an unnatural demeanor while talking about it and offered her comfort, then it was possible he was involved. However, faced with his reaction, she didn’t know what to make of it.
