Chapter 325: 187 Hooked (Third Update)_2

Lin Feiyin deftly opened the door and entered. Without greeting the newcomer, she quickly walked to the bedside, and fed Shen Xi the pill she held in her hand.

She moved so swiftly that only after the pill had been administered did she hear the newcomer’s stern voice, "Wait a minute! How could his broken rib have pierced so deeply into his lung lobe? And why, without even removing the fragment or setting the bone, did you feed him medicine?"

At this, Lin Feiyin remembered her oversight and became flustered. "What should I do? I... I forgot just now..." As she spoke, she didn’t wait for a response and pried open Shen Xi’s mouth, attempting to retrieve the pill, only to find nothing inside.

She then heard the newcomer say coldly, "It’s no use. That pill melts upon entering the mouth, it has already dissolved into water and been absorbed by him; you won’t be able to find it."

Upon finishing this statement, the person pushed Lin Feiyin aside, turned on an emergency lamp nearby, and shone the light on Shen Xi’s chest.

Subsequently, the individual produced a silver-gleaming scalpel from nowhere, slit open Shen Xi’s clothes, and exposed his chest.

Shen Xi had three broken ribs, with the jagged edges piercing into his lung lobe. Upon a close examination, the abnormality in his chest was obvious.

The person then proceeded to slice Shen Xi’s chest open with the scalpel, extracted the rib fragments from the lung lobe, somewhat aligned the broken ends, and fed Shen Xi a new pill.

Following that, Lin Feiyin and the mother and son in the room witnessed Shen Xi’s wounds healing at a visibly rapid pace.

Before long, Shen Xi awoke. His chest was still smeared with large patches of blood, and upon awakening, he became aware of it. He quickly looked towards the extra person in the room and managed a weak gratefully intended smile, "It was you who saved me, wasn’t it? Thank you." He paused, then said with a sardonic smile, "However, given the value of the information and the items I previously provided for you, saving me was expected. Additionally, my sister has also been seriously injured, you must heal her."

Caught off guard by Shen Xi’s words, Lin Feiyin opened her mouth to speak but met Shen Xi’s cautionary gaze. Hesitating momentarily, she ultimately said nothing.

The visitor, however, narrowed their eyes dangerously, studying Shen Xi intently for a while before finally promising ominously, "Fine, I agree." True to their word, they took out a pill and placed it into Shen Xin’s mouth.

Shen Xin had four broken ribs, even more severe than Shen Xi’s injuries. Fortunately, the bones had not punctured her lung lobe, making her situation somewhat better and sparing her the need for the visitor’s invasive correcting procedure.

When she swallowed the pill, her complexion gradually improved.

After Shen Xi extended his spiritual power to check her condition and found her broken ribs healed, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the visitor, and sincerely thanked them.

The visitor, however, did not say anything more to him but gestured towards the mother and son with their eyes before saying to Lin Feiyin, "Surely, someone has already searched this place. You must be curious as to why, aren’t you? Do you want to know?"

Upon hearing those words, Lin Feiyin’s curiosity was immediately piqued, and she instinctively asked, "What happened? Those people looked fierce and malevolent; as soon as they came in, they started searching everywhere, turning the house upside down. It was intolerable!"

The visitor let out a cold laugh, "What else could it be? Some Ordinary People, in order to survive, stole a superpower user’s supplies. That’s why the higher-ups sent people to search and arrested all those poor souls. Who knows whether they’ll still be alive when dawn breaks."

Hearing the person’s mockingly sympathetic tone, Shen Xi lay on the bed, sneering inwardly. Then, instinctively, he looked at Lin Feiyin and, as expected, saw her looking indignant.

He silently shook his head in his heart, resolving that he would certainly take his sister and leave this place as soon as Lin Feiyin stirred up trouble. This woman was without a brain, and far too prone to causing trouble!

Then, recalling the visitor’s previous look, he glanced at the mother and son. He knew what the other party wanted, but why should he help?

If this person wanted them dead, he simply wouldn’t let their wishes come true!

All the items, the Crystal Core, Elemental Stone, and Elemental Crystal, in Bai Ye’s room had been taken by this person, not to mention such a colossal secret—he had to extract some interest, didn’t he?

Wary of the other party noticing his thoughts, he cast his eyes down and cleared his mind.

Next, he heard Lin Feiyin’s indignant voice, "No, I have to rescue them! They are all pitiful souls. If it weren’t for sheer desperation, why would they take such risks? Those superpower users and the higher-ups are really excessive! It’s only some supplies; do they need to be so petty?"

Seeing Lin Feiyin take the bait, the visitor smiled meaningfully but deliberately advised, "You’d better not do this. In the eyes of those superpower users, Ordinary People are simply inferior. How could they care about the lives of these individuals? By doing this, be careful that they might target you for vengeance."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feiyin grew even more enraged. Clenching her fists, she forcefully pounded the bed, gritting her teeth as she said, "I am not afraid! Good will always triumph over evil; I refuse to believe that these people can continue to act without any restraint!"

After saying this, she turned to the visitor and continued, "Thank you for telling me this; don’t worry about me; I’ll be alright."

Except for Lin Feiyin, everyone else sensed the visitor’s ill intentions—even the ten-year-old child could tell. The woman wanted to warn Lin Feiyin against doing something foolish but met the visitor’s warning glance and suddenly felt a spine-chilling coldness creep up from her feet.

Thus, she wisely kept her mouth shut, turned her head in fear, and dared not meet that person’s eyes again. (To be continued.
