Chapter 309 Xiao Cheng Arrives
Having been a con artist for so many years, Chu Lingfeng naturally possessed some real skills.
The severed end of the old butler's finger was still bleeding. The wrinkles etched on his face and his heavy panting revealed the immense pain he was trying to endure.
Chu Lingfeng quickly and accurately inserted silver needles into the old butler's arm and back.
Thirteen needles in total!
Then, something miraculous happened, at least in Su Tao's eyes.
The bleeding from the old butler's finger stopped, and his face, previously contorted in pain, quickly became astonished. A rosy hue even returned to his cheeks, making him look radiant.
Su Tao felt as if the old butler's vitality had significantly improved the moment the needles were inserted.
Chu Lingfeng calmly said, "How are you feeling, old butler? How's your body?"
"This..." The old butler's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Even the chronic pain in my left elbow is gone. My body feels warm and full of energy. My hand doesn't hurt anymore. I feel like I have unlimited strength."
Knowing that Chu Lingfeng possessed the Taiyi Thirteen Needles technique and witnessing its effectiveness firsthand were two entirely different things.
Su Tao's shock was indescribable.
Chu Lingfeng chuckled smugly. "This is just a minor trick. If I used my full power, bringing someone back from the dead wouldn't be impossible. Your sister only has amnesia; I could resolve it with just half an hour of acupuncture."
Su Tao had to reassess her opinion of Chu Lingfeng.
His personality and character might be questionable, but his divine needle technique proved that he couldn't be ignored.
Regardless of how he did it, the old butler's condition was proof enough for an outsider like Su Tao that Chu Lingfeng had the skills and confidence he claimed.
It was precisely this medical expertise that allowed her to tolerate him to some extent.
However, there were things she couldn't tolerate.
Su Tao raised her head and said seriously to Chu Lingfeng, "I want you to call off the people who are watching me and Xiao Cheng. And... if you ever have any ideas about Xiao Cheng again, I'll make you pay when my father returns!"
Chu Lingfeng raised his hands and chuckled dryly. "The people watching you aren't mine. I bought the information from Second Young Master Ye. My only interest is in the father behind you."
His words, a mix of truth and lies, caused Su Tao to fall into thought.
Chu Lingfeng seized the opportunity and said, "Let's not talk about your father yet. He might not even know he has a daughter in this country. Given that man's personality, he most likely wouldn't abandon you.
"When he returns, all I need is a chance to meet and talk to him."
"And the first step in our cooperation is mutual trust. I can cure your sister's amnesia, and even any other minor or major illnesses she may have, without any difficulty."
"As for this invitation, it was purely out of necessity. I'll send you back in a little while."
With that, he pulled out a business card and gently placed it on the table. "If you make a decision, add me on WeChat, or just give me a call."
"If you need to rest and think, please head out and turn right. Just tell the bodyguards outside if you want to go home."
After speaking, Chu Lingfeng glanced at the old butler and gestured to indicate he was dismissing her.
This surprised Su Tao greatly. She had initially thought that Chu Lingfeng would use force against her. Her hand had remained tightly gripping the fruit knife the entire time.
She had even resolved that if Chu Lingfeng tried anything, she would cut off his other ear.
But now that Chu Lingfeng was letting her leave, her expression became somewhat complicated.
Being able to cure Xiao Cheng's amnesia in less than half a day...
Compared to half a year or three years, this was the answer Su Tao truly wanted.
However...
Su Tao's sixth sense told her that Chu Lingfeng had the ability, but he wasn't trustworthy.
After hesitating again and again, she still picked up the business card, put it in her pocket, and turned to leave.
News of her father...
Xiao Cheng's memories...
Without a doubt, the latter weighed more heavily in Su Tao's mind, but she couldn't help but think.
If her father was still around, then what about her mother?
Perhaps, deep down, she still had a glimmer of hope for that vague and distant family bond.
Su Tao smiled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the villa.
Only after Su Tao left and closed the door behind her did Chu Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the old butler and noticed that his face had gone from a slight blush to a terrifying, apple-red color.
Chu Lingfeng said, "You did very well just now, turning your back to Su Tao when you noticed something was wrong. I'll give you the million as promised."
The old butler's left hand, still punctured with needles, was trembling uncontrollably. He didn't understand why he had gone from feeling so good to this state, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want the money! Please, rescue my granddaughter!"
Chu Lingfeng chuckled. "Your granddaughter is in Si Zhenliu's grasp. I can speak to him now, but asking him directly for someone, that old fox might not agree."
"Bear with it and don't scream. I'll remove the needles first."
He reached out and had the old butler kneel on the ground with his back to him, and he removed the silver needles one by one.
The spots where the needles had been inserted started to bleed black blood!
Blood also trickled from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears to varying degrees.
When the excruciating pain washed over him, the old butler realized that this was no miraculous healing technique.
It was all wicked sorcery.
By the time Chu Lingfeng removed all the needles, the old butler had collapsed on the ground unconscious. There was no pity in his eyes, only a faint hint of smugness.
The plan had succeeded.
The moment Su Tao picked up that business card, Chu Lingfeng knew that she wouldn't escape his grasp.
Once people take the first step, they can never turn back.
He sat down on the comfortable sofa, lit a cigarette, and savored the fleeting comfort.
But at that moment, a bodyguard ran in, panicked. "Something bad happened, Divine Doctor Chu! We... we're surrounded!"
"What?!"
Chu Lingfeng immediately stubbed out his cigarette, and angrily asked, "Who's bold enough to cause trouble on the Si family's turf!"
"It's... it's Young Master Si Chen!" the bodyguard said tremulously. "And with Young Master Si Chen is that... that female ghost we saw at the banquet last time."
A female ghost?
Chu Lingfeng didn't recognize who he was referring to at first.
After realizing who it was, he felt a phantom pain in his missing right ear.
What female ghost, it was clearly Su Tao's resurrected sister!
No, since she was resurrected, then she really was a female ghost!
And Si Chen was also there, that guy was the Si family manor's second young master.
Chu Lingfeng panicked. He asked the bodyguard, "Where's Su Tao? Quickly, bring Su Tao here!"
"This..." The bodyguard hesitated. "But Miss Su left two minutes ago."
