Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 596 - 599: The Fifth Layer

But after some thought, he held back. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Yes, Teacher. I understand," he replied.

After saying that, Sun Gang turned and left.

「Twenty minutes later」

Sun Gang returned and told the man and Ning Hua which hospital Liu Ergou was in. Upon learning Liu Ergou’s location, the man and Ning Hua rushed to the hospital without a moment’s hesitation.

Sun Gang stood there, watching the two of them leave. As their figures disappeared from view, he could no longer contain his anger and roared, "Damn it! What is all this crap! We already had Liu Ergou dead, so why go and save him! Useless, all of you! It’s just a measly Patrol Bureau! Is there really a need to be so scared? If that pill were given to me, I guarantee I could revitalize the entire Flying Swallow Sect within three years! I could even lead the Sun Family to become the fifth major family in Jingdu! Damn it, damn it all!"

After venting his rage, Sun Gang sighed. He said no more and turned back toward the villa.

I know Liu Ergou won’t be so easy to deal with in the future, he thought. I’ll never get such a good opportunity again. To take him down, I’ll need a much more meticulous plan.

Meanwhile, after leaving the villa, the man and Ning Hua hailed a taxi. The man threw the driver 1,000 yuan, telling him to get to the hospital as fast as possible. Seeing the money, the driver’s spirits lifted, and he floored the gas pedal. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, the taxi shot forward and vanished.

「Ten minutes later」

The man and Ning Hua arrived at the hospital. They asked the front desk for Liu Ergou’s location and then rushed straight for the ICU.

Orange Bear and Lu Shuangyue were already at the ICU entrance, staring intently through the glass at Liu Ergou. They were so focused that they didn’t notice the man and Ning Hua’s arrival until the pair had their hands on the ICU doors.

Seeing Ning Hua and the man, Orange Bear instantly blocked their way. "What the hell do you two want?" he yelled. "Er Gou is about to die! Are you saying he’s dying too slowly? You’ve come to finish him off, haven’t you!"

Hearing the accusation, Ning Hua instinctively stepped forward to argue, but the man stopped her.

"Enough, Ning Hua," he said. "Don’t waste your breath on ordinary people. Every minute we waste increases Liu Ergou’s chances of dying. The priority now is to get the medicine into him. Do you understand?"

Ning Hua immediately nodded and prepared to follow the man into the ICU. Orange Bear and Lu Shuangyue moved to stop them, causing the man to frown.

"Ning Hua, stop them," he ordered.

At his command, Ning Hua stepped forward and blocked Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear. The two were frightened at first, but their fear quickly faded.

"Don’t think you can stop us," Orange Bear retorted. "You said it before! You can’t lay a hand on ordinary people. If you do, the Patrol Bureau won’t let you get away with it!"

Ning Hua paused for a moment before replying, "That’s right, I won’t hurt you. But I can stop you. And if I decide to block your path, you won’t be able to take a single step."

Her words left Orange Bear and Lu Shuangyue dumbfounded. It was true. For Ning Hua, an Ancient Martial Artist, blocking two ordinary people—especially two women—was effortless.

They could only watch helplessly as the man strode confidently into the ICU and pried open Liu Ergou’s mouth, stuffing a dark object inside. Afterward, they saw the man’s brows furrow deeply.

"Tsk, you’re getting off easy, you ordinary person," he muttered. "Damn it, my treasured Great Restoration Pill! I’ve saved it for years! This is something the Four Great Families probably don’t even have! And now it’s ended up in your stomach! This is killing me! If my disciple hadn’t injured you, you wouldn’t have even gotten a chance to see it!"

The man shook his head, turned, and left the ICU. He sat down in the hospital corridor and began to wait patiently.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear stopped struggling and slumped to the floor, resigned to their fate. The man sitting nearby looked at their defeated expressions and couldn’t help but speak up. "Who are you two putting on this miserable act for? I’m here to heal him! Do you have any idea how priceless my Great Restoration Pill is? And now it’s inside that ordinary person! And another thing, which one of you is from the Lu family? Someone from the Lu family should know what a Great Restoration Pill is!"

Hearing this, Lu Shuangyue, who was sitting on the floor, instantly perked up.

"Did you say... a Great Restoration Pill?" she asked, her face lit with surprise.

The man, still agonizing over his lost pill, was in no mood to talk. "If you know, then why ask?" he snapped. "Are all Lu family members this annoying?"

He fell silent after that. Seeing this, Lu Shuangyue said no more. She sat quietly on the floor, watching Liu Ergou through the glass as he lay on the hospital bed.

Though he was unconscious, Liu Ergou suddenly felt an unknown power enter his body, propelling his Body Cultivation Technique forward at an incredible speed. The technique, which had been advancing slowly, was now surging ahead as if it had been injected with stimulants.

This delighted Liu Ergou. At this pace, my Body Cultivation Technique can break through to the fifth level in another five or six minutes!

But a question soon arose. Why is this power emerging in my body? And how was I completely unaware of it?

As he pondered this, the advancement of his Body Cultivation Technique surged forward again. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the peak of the fourth level and reached the fifth. In that same instant, the True Qi in Liu Ergou’s body skyrocketed, enveloping him completely. His fractured ribs began to heal rapidly. The dark energy that had been wreaking havoc and destroying his internal organs vanished like snow in the sunlight.

In just a few breaths, Liu Ergou, who had been on the brink of death, was restored to full health.
