Chapter 669 - Unable to Save!
Chapter 668 – Unable to Save!
“Alright, I’m ending the call now.” Tangyin didn’t want to disturb whatever Lin Yi was doing now.
“Ha, okay, I got it.” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lin Yi was just standing beside Mengyao so she was able to hear the contents of the call very clearly. Even she herself couldn’t believe what she had heard as she displayed a dumbfounded expression—she had never expected Tangyin would call Lin Yi to come and save her!
The Miss was feeling somewhat bad inside; she was originally a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Even though her attitude might be all proud and aloof, this was all due to her environment growing up. It wasn’t a big deal at all as she was a kind person in nature.
So when The Miss heard that Tangyin was worrying her, she was overwhelmed with guilt. If she were in Tangyin’s shoe, would she allow Lin Yi to save her? Would she? She couldn’t find an answer for that…
Actually, if their roles were swapped, Mengyao would still ask Lin Yi to go for the rescue. It was similar to the previous time when they had first met An Jianwen in the theme park. Although Mengyao wasn’t pleased with Jianwen’s approach, she didn’t want to see him die when his symptoms acted up.
From this point, it was obvious that Tangyin and The Miss both shared the same qualities; they were both kind-natured.
“Help me thank her….” The Miss had wanted to say this before Lin Yi ended the call but the words couldn’t make it out, so she had waited until the call ended.
“Ha….” Lin Yi nodded. For The Miss to go against Tangyin less in the future was what Lin Yi would be naturally glad to see.
While Lin Yi was answering the call, the parents didn’t dare to disturb him because—from Xuemin and Pengzhan’s mouths—they learned that the miracle doctor who had pulled the tricks out was this unbelievably young man, so all of them waited for Lin Yi to end the call before surrounding him.
“Miracle doctor, can you please have a look at my children? Just tell me the fee, I can pay as high as Chairman Chu can, even if my house goes poor, I’ll still pay you for sure!” This parent thought that Lin Yi had been hired by Pengzhan as a miracle doctor.
“Yes! I’m begging of you, please have a look at my children, we won’t let you do the job for free!” Another parent begged.
“I have a company. Although my company is not as big as Chairman Chu’s, I do still have a few million assets throw around. If you agree to save my child, take as much as you wish, just tell me the price!” A well-dressed man said.
“It’s not that I don’t want to save them, it’s just that I am unable to.” Lin Yi felt the pain in his head and he could only tell the truth now.
“Ah?” the parents were all started, even Xuemin and Pengzhan were both taken aback—they didn’t know what Lin Yi meant. Unable to save? Could it be that Lin Yi didn’t want to?
Meanwhile, only Uncle Fu was guessing silently. Lin Yi might have really used his own pure qi to awaken Mengyao but this method greatly reduced the person’s strength. If it wasn’t someone he treasured with utmost importance, no one would throw away their strength just to save a nobody!
Uncle Fu was a physical master and didn’t have any pure qi in his body. Even if he did, unless Pengzhan or Mengyao was injured, he wouldn’t simply use that method to save others! Now that Pengzhan and Xuemin were asking Lin Yi to save them, they were obviously putting Lin Yi in a difficult position!
“Miracle doctor, you can’t just do nothing when a life is in danger!”
“Yeah, that’s not what a miracle doctor should do…”
The parents were starting to panic, but they couldn’t afford to be rude. After all, Lin Yi didn’t have an obligation to save their children so the parents were flattering him and urging him to save their children at the same time.
“As I’ve said, it’s not that I don’t want to save them, but I am incapable of saving them as I am now.” Lin Yi shook his head.
“Incapable? But didn’t you just wake the Chairman’s daughter up….”
“Yeah, yeah, miracle doctor, didn’t you just heal back Chu Mengyao?”
The parents started to doubt Lin Yi’s reasoning. They thought that Lin Yi didn’t want to save their children as he kept rejecting their requests.
“Not good, sis Yaoyao is fainting again!” Yushu cried suddenly, pulling onto Mengyao’s hand panickedly and looking at Lin Yi. “Shield bro, shield bro, come here, why is sis Yaoyao fainting again?”
Yushu’s call surprised Pengzhan, Uncle Fu, and Xuemin at the same time and while the parents looked perplexed at the once again fainted Mengyao, they didn’t know what was going on.
“As you guys can see, I didn’t actually heal her, I just woke her up for a moment.” Lin Yi smiled bitterly as he caught onto Mengyao’s hand, checking her pulse. It was very weak—as weak as the moment when he had arrived. Even if her pulse was stronger by a little now, it didn’t make a difference at all.
Mengyao’s energy was drained out and not much was left. But the positive side was that the energy lost during her unconscious state was a lot slower than in the conscious state. Even if that was the case, it would be tough for her to stay alive until tomorrow.
“Ah?” the parents only then understood what Lin Yi meant. He didn’t actually heal Mengyao, but had just woken her up from her unconscious state for a while.
“Lil Yi, what’s going on here?” Xuemin and Pengzhan were puzzled as they looked at Lin Yi for an answer.
“Shield bro, what should we do now! Sis Yaoyao has fainted again; she should be fine, right?” Yushu was worried.
“She’s fine for now. As for the way to save her, I’m still working on it, can you guys please move out of this room?” Lin Yi took a look at the parents. “After I figure out the solution, your children will eventually be saved as well.”
Lin Yi’s words calmed the parents down. At the very least he wasn’t refusing to save their children! That being said, all of them didn’t want to disturb him and quickly moved out of the room, giving Lin Yi some peace of mind.
On the other hand, Pengazhan hesitated and asked: “Lil Yi, should we go out as well?”
“Ugh…that’s not needed for now.” Lin Yi shook his head. He was very frustrated on the inside. As knowledgeable as he was in the field of poison and ways to counter it, he still lacked some experience. All these years he had been training outside and didn’t have any interactions with poisons, so even with all the knowledge in his brain, he still didn’t know where to start from.
Now he didn’t know what poison was in Mengyao’s body and was not sure where the source had come from, so he could only learn that from her body. If he were poisoned, what would his old man do?
Lin Yi frowned and started recalling what his old man would do in the situation. When he was small, he had been bitten by some venomous insects, fairly close to handing his life up to the skies. At that time, his old man didn’t know where the source of the poison was and couldn’t identify the type of poison with the symptoms alone.
Right, his old man had used acupuncture to force the toxins out of his body at that time!
