Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 72 - 73 Zhao Ruoying’s Implicit Warning!

"Bingbing, what did Young Master Qin say about your condition? I was so busy today, I couldn’t get away to ask sooner," Zhao Ruoying’s concerned voice came through the phone.

"Mrs. Zhao, is this Qin Long really that miraculous?"

"He said he was powerless to help." Han Bing bit her red lip, her voice laced with resentment.

"This... I don’t really understand your illness. But if even Young Master Qin is powerless, then no one in the world can cure you," Zhao Ruoying said with finality.

Han Bing’s heart went cold. Is that cripple, Qin Long, really that incredible?

"I consulted countless medical masters for my precious daughter’s illness, but it was all to no avail. I was so tormented that I’d lost all hope," Zhao Ruoying explained, highlighting Qin Long’s abilities. "Yet Young Master Qin only needed a short amount of time with his Golden Needle Acupuncture to completely cure my Xiaotong in just two sessions."

"He’s that skilled?" Han Bing’s eyes widened. She finally understood why Mrs. Zhao trusted him so much. But no matter how skilled he is, what good is it if he’s unwilling to save me? An invisible wave of anger surged within her.

"Mrs. Zhao, I promised him gorgeous women, a luxurious mansion, and power, but he was completely unmoved. Do you know why?" Han Bing was now completely bewildered. Everything had been going so well, but then the situation had turned in an instant.

"It’s not unusual for people of great talent to have eccentric personalities; that’s nothing to worry about. However, from my understanding, he will help you as long as you are sincere. Could you have angered Young Master Qin somehow?" Zhao Ruoying asked, also puzzled as she tried to analyze the situation.

"How could I have!" Han Bing grew furious just thinking about it. "My attitude was perfect! It was only after he examined the source of my illness that his expression suddenly changed. What on earth is going on?" I couldn’t have offended Qin Long. She just wanted him to save her, even if it meant giving him her entire family fortune. Yet, that cripple seemed to have no reaction at all.

"Alright, you must have provoked him somehow. Don’t anger Young Master Qin any further. I’ll go and sound him out for you later," Zhao Ruoying cautioned after a moment’s pause.

"It’s too late. I’ve already put the word out that he has three days to give me an answer. And my health is deteriorating by the day," Han Bing waved her arms and roared.

"Han Bing, don’t court death. Young Master Qin is not someone you can afford to provoke!" Zhao Ruoying raised an eyebrow and said coldly.

Hearing this, Han Bing was stunned for a moment. She frowned and asked, "Young Master Qin... does he have a powerful backer?"

This left Zhao Ruoying somewhat speechless. Originally, Qin Long was just a disabled young man adopted by the Tang Family. But after Duke Jiang was treated by Qin Long, he had subtly hinted to her that Qin Long was not as simple as he appeared and might have extremely powerful support, which is why she spoke as she did.

"Understood. Thank you, Sister Ying. I recently acquired a jade ring, and I’ll find a chance to gift it to you." Han Bing had held sway in Jiang Zhong for so many years. If she didn’t have that much insight, she’d have been hacked to pieces a hundred times over by now. For now, Qin Long is untouchable.

Zhao Ruoying sighed softly and hung up. Although she and Han Bing had a good relationship, she was the one who had made the recommendation in the first place.

「The Tang Family’s Courtyard」

Qin Long took a taxi home and saw Tang Xuewu waiting for him at the door.

"Are you okay?" A faint smile touched Tang Xuewu’s pretty face, and her heart couldn’t help but feel at ease. She knew that this man had unwittingly walked into her life. The first thing she did when she got home was to look for Qin Long; if she couldn’t see him, she would always feel a sense of unease.

"That queenpin, Han Bing, how do you know her?" Zhang Meilan interrogated him from the sofa, her fingers tapping incessantly on the table.

"I don’t know her," Qin Long replied dismissively.

"You don’t know her, yet she came looking for you?" Zhang Meilan simply didn’t believe it, shooting Qin Long a cold glare.

"I really don’t. She was looking for someone else, so when she realized her mistake, she had me sent back," Qin Long said with a slight shake of his head.

Hearing this, Zhang Meilan immediately let out a cold snort. She never believed Qin Long could know a big shot from Jiang Zhong in the first place. The moment he claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, she was utterly convinced.

"I knew it! How could someone like you be acquainted with such a big shot? If you really knew Queen Han Bing, you could do whatever you want in Jiang Zhong. Who would dare to provoke you?" Zhang Meilan gritted her teeth, her eyes glinting with disdain. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Alright, Mom," Tang Xuewu said, raising a shapely eyebrow. "It’s for the best that he doesn’t know her. What’s so good about associating with people from the criminal underworld? Didn’t you see how vicious Han Bing looked today? You can tell she’s bad news. A’Long, you’re not allowed to associate with them from now on," Tang Xuewu instructed, looking at Qin Long.

"Mhmm," Qin Long immediately nodded.

"Let’s put this matter behind us," Zhang Meilan said, though she couldn’t contain her curiosity. "Qin Long, do you really have ten million in your bank account?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Long immediately glanced at Tang Xuewu.

Xuewu didn’t dare to meet his gaze. After all, she was the one who had leaked the news to Zhang Meilan.

"You don’t need to blame Xuewu. Just answer me, yes or no?" Zhang Meilan said coldly, her tone full of dissatisfaction as she put her hands on her hips.

"Yes, I do," Qin Long responded straightforwardly.

At his words, Zhang Meilan was so shocked her mouth fell slightly open.

"Take out the card. I’m going to confirm it." Zhang Meilan still doubted him. A fool with ten million? He’s probably lying to Xuewu again, isn’t he?

"I already saw the printed transfer receipt! Why do you still doubt him? Besides, it’s Qin Long’s money. What does that have to do with us?" Tang Xuewu interjected, her pretty face flushed with anger.

"What do you know! You’ll do as I say in this matter!" Zhang Meilan declared, reaching to forcefully search Qin Long’s pockets.

Seeing Zhang Meilan’s shrewish behavior, Qin Long’s expression turned icy, and he forcefully shook her hand away. He then proceeded to completely ignore her, which infuriated her to no end.

"Xuewu, is this the person you’ve taken care of for three years? He’s not even fully recovered, and this is his attitude? Once he recovers, won’t he turn the whole house upside down?! If you raise a dog, at least it will wag its tail at you! What about him?" Zhang Meilan immediately leaped up, venting her frustration at Tang Xuewu.

"Mom, can you please stop making trouble?" Tang Xuewu retorted with extreme impatience.

"You ungrateful girl! I raised you for nothing!" Zhang Meilan shouted, her words dripping with arrogant rage. "He freeloads off us, and I’m not even allowed to complain?"

"He’s not a cat or a dog, he’s a man! Have you ever considered his pride? Besides, it was Grandma who pulled so many strings to secure this marriage agreement back then. How can you act like this now? Who knows, maybe A’Long was once a true prodigy who has simply fallen on hard times," Tang Xuewu defended Qin Long vigorously.

But Zhang Meilan remained relentless. "So what? A hero doesn’t live on past glories. I only know that right now, he’s a complete and utter good-for-nothing—penniless and full of lies," she deliberately shouted in Qin Long’s direction.

"You can’t be like that! You can’t just mock people when they’re down on their luck and then turn around and flatter them to cozy up when they become successful! That’s just not..."

Before she could finish, Zhang Meilan viciously shook Tang Xuewu’s hand away and snapped at her.
