Chapter 121: Chapter 121: The Sacrifice is Too Great

Lin Zhiming woke up, causing quite a stir at the hospital.

The awakening of someone in a vegetative state could be considered a free advertisement for the city hospital and Lan Wangxu.

However, Lin Hongzhuang was filled with mixed emotions.

Her father truly woke up, proving that Qin Yi hadn’t lied to her.

But Qin Yi expended ten years of his immortal power; the sacrifice was immense.

Xia Yanbing, Lin Hongzhuang’s mother, also awoke from her coma.

Especially Lin Hongzhuang’s mother, who cried tears of joy upon seeing Lin Zhiming awake.

Xia Yanbing was utterly shocked.

Lin Hongzhuang hugged Xia Yanbing, both crying and laughing, "Bingbing, my dad woke up, my dad woke up..."

She almost told Xia Yanbing that it was because Qin Yi expended ten years of immortal power to save her dad, but remembering Qin Yi’s request for secrecy, Lin Hongzhuang held back.

Director Li and others stayed in the ward for over an hour, said a few words, and then left one by one.

Lin Zhiming regained his mind and could speak again.

"I had a dream, dreamt I flew up and saw an Immortal who saved me."

Of course, no one believed this, a dream is just a dream.

But they forgot that those in a vegetative state are only in a pseudo-death state and can still sense changes around them.

Only Lin Hongzhuang cried until her eyes turned red, that Immortal was Qin Yi, he traded his chance of standing for her father’s return to consciousness.

Outside the ward, Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi with an odd expression, "Was it your doing?"

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, "What?"

"Lin Zhiming waking up, it was your doing, wasn’t it?"

Qin Yi chuckled, nodding slightly.

Lan Wangxu was stunned, looking at Qin Yi; he knew Qin Yi’s cultivation was unfathomable, but didn’t expect he also knew medicine.

Lan Jiaojiao was somewhat annoyed, "Since you could save him yourself, why ask us to help?"

Qin Yi’s response was quite infuriating, "I thought you could do it, who knew you couldn’t."

Lan Jiaojiao glared at him, teeth gritted.

Lan Wangxu, however, looked full of admiration, "Someone even Tianyang Needle Technique couldn’t treat, Qin Yi, my young friend, could cure; it shows you truly master Immortal Techniques."

"Enough with the flattery, I’ll guide you on a few tricks someday."

Lan Wangxu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Qin Yi glanced at Lan Jiaojiao, "Don’t look at me like that, the heavens gave you beautiful eyes, yet you use them to glare at people, such a waste."

"Are you flirting with me?"

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Teasing cats and dogs is my habit."

Lan Jiaojiao ground her teeth, "I finally know why you’re not welcome, your mouth must be borrowed, right? Must you insult people before returning it?"

Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, a group of people came rushing down the corridor.

The leader was Chen Fei.

Qin Yi didn’t know Chen Fei, but deduced his identity from his swollen, pig-headed face.

Chen Fei and his group reached the ward door, initially intending to rush right in but stepped back hurriedly, politely knocking on the door.

Lan Jiaojiao frowned, "They don’t seem friendly, need my help?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "No need, they’re here to apologize."

Lan Jiaojiao and Lan Wangxu were full of surprise.

Inside the ward, the atmosphere lightened considerably with Lin Zhiming’s awakening.

Hearing the knocking, Secretary Liu went to open the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Secretary Liu, seeing their unfriendly looks, asked nervously.

Chen Fei’s face was full of humility, but with his pig-headed swollen face, trying to force a smile was counterproductive, making his face look fierce.

"Is Miss Lin here?"

"Who?"

Lin Hongzhuang walked to the door, looked out, and her pretty face changed dramatically, "Don’t overdo it, all of you get out."

She thought Chen Fei and the others were here to make trouble; her father had just woken up and couldn’t handle any stimulation.

Xia Yanbing’s pretty face clouded with anger; she didn’t expect these people to come again.

Who knew Chen Fei would plop to his knees, and the lackeys behind him hurried to kneel as well.

Xia Yanbing and Lin Hongzhuang were utterly shocked.

"Miss Lin, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have caused trouble, I’m worse than a beast, please forgive me?"

"Yes, Miss Lin, we really know our wrongs, please forgive us."

"Miss Lin, I’m kowtowing to you!"

The group kowtowed as they pleaded for mercy.

Other patients’ families and medical staff from nearby wards gathered to watch the spectacle.

"Look at how filial his descendants are."

"Exactly, mine haven’t visited me in days, probably no one would care if I died."

Everyone looked on with envy, thinking Chen Fei and the others were the patient’s descendants.

Xia Yanbing and Lin Hongzhuang couldn’t regain their composure, "What’s the situation?"

"Miss Lin, I’m kowtowing, admitting my wrongs, asking you to forgive us."

Chen Fei and his group kowtowed earnestly, the sound echoing from the floor, knowing their lives were more important than dignity.

Thinking of Jin Zeming’s words that if Lin Hongzhuang didn’t forgive them, their entire families would be exterminated, the group trembled and kowtowed even harder.

Lin Hongzhuang was at a loss, "Bingbing, what should we do?"

"Let them get up first, this is too unsightly."

Lin Hongzhuang shouted angrily, "You all, get up first."

"If Miss Lin doesn’t forgive us, we won’t get up," Chen Fei feigned tears, half genuinely. His face hurt too much, hurt to the point of tears.

Lin Hongzhuang furrowed her brows slightly, "Alright, I’ll forgive you, get up."

"Thank you, Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin, you’re as beautiful as you are kind, truly a bodhisattva reincarnated."

"Miss Lin, I wish you a lifetime of peace; I promise to pray for you daily, may you live a long life."

Chen Fei and his people were full of gratitude, heaving a heavy sigh of relief, stood up, bowed repeatedly, and hurriedly left running.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Upon hearing Lin Hongzhuang call out to wait, Chen Fei and his people ran even faster. They thought, what if she changed her mind?

Lin Hongzhuang and Xia Yanbing were left dumbfounded, watching Chen Fei and the others flee like mad dogs, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Are... these people possessed?" Lin Hongzhuang couldn’t recover for a long time.

Xia Yanbing was equally puzzled.

Secretary Liu was utterly dumbfounded, looking like an idiot.

In the corridor outside, Lan Jiaojiao glanced at Qin Yi, "This is also your handiwork, isn’t it?"

Qin Yi chuckled.

"Mysterious as ever, why don’t you let them know about everything you’ve done?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Please call me a Nameless Hero."

"You’re really a strange person, I’m getting more and more interested in you."

Qin Yi looked alarmed, "Miss, please mind your manners, I have a wife."

Lan Jiaojiao really wanted to kick Qin Yi down the stairs, "Young Master, please don’t overthink, someone like you isn’t to my liking. It’s just my intuition telling me you might be a good friend."

"You want to be friends with me?" Qin Yi smiled and asked.

Lan Jiaojiao glared at him, "What, can’t I? If you dare say no, I’ll kick you down the stairs."

"Sure, I’m honored by your favor. Since we’re friends, can you return that twenty million to me?"

Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "Keep dreaming. Grandpa, let’s go!"
