Chapter 796: Chapter 744 Past Events

“Zhongshu, weren’t you just going to the restroom? How did you end up like this?” Liu Hun and Yao Yu followed Qian Zhongshu into a private room and, seeing his bruised and swollen face, quickly stood up and approached him with concern.

Liu Hun glanced around the booth, noting a small cake on the table, while the woman in front of him, though well-built, had a face that was somewhat hard to bear.

Covered in acne, pockmarked and puckered, her face looked extremely terrifying. From the back, Liu Hun would definitely rate the woman 9.9 out of 10, with a figure that was possibly even better than Yao Yu’s, not an exaggeration to describe as devilishly curvaceous.

“Teacher Lin, sorry to make you see this. This is my girlfriend Feng Xiaoxiao, also my fiancée. We plan to get married next month,” Qian Zhongshu introduced the woman in front of him; he appeared undeterred by Feng Xiaoxiao’s face causing him any embarrassment, letting her gently caress his cheeks.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m fine, I just ran into our school’s student Yao Yu outside, she was being bullied by some students from other schools, so…” Qian Zhongshu held Feng Xiaoxiao’s pristine white hands and softly said, his eyes filled with love.

Watching this scene unfold, Liu Hun felt his suspicions deepening.

From the moment he had encountered Qian Zhongshu to now, there seemed to be no connection between him and the ruthless murderer described by Wang Xiaofei.

A scorned wife, a discontented husband; this is an age-old truth, yet in the interaction between Qian Zhongshu and Feng Xiaoxiao, this logic seemed to be defied.

Facing Feng Xiaoxiao’s horrifying face, Qian Zhongshu still showed such profound love, which was indeed a rare sight; and Liu Hun could tell from his eyes that it was genuine.

“Shall I take you to the hospital to get your wounds dressed first?” Feng Xiaoxiao’s eyes were full of distress.

“I’m okay, just some superficial injuries. Today is your birthday, I don’t want to waste our time; earlier I was concerned you might be lonely celebrating alone, luckily we bumped into Teacher Lin and the others,” Qian Zhongshu said with a slight smile, taking Feng Xiaoxiao’s hand and sitting down on the sofa.

“Let’s cut the cake first.” After sitting down, Qian Zhongshu nodded to Liu Hun and then said, “Teacher Lin, please help yourself. No need to be so formal.”

Liu Hun nodded, while Yao Yu sat right beside him.

“Teacher Lin, are you and student Yao Yu…?” Qian Zhongshu began, glancing incredulously at Liu Hun while cutting the cake, then immediately realized his impropriety and apologized, “Teacher Lin, don’t mind me, I’m just like that.”

“I’m just a substitute teacher at your school. Today I happened to walk into the wrong classroom and gave a lesson to Xiaoyu and the others, then we arranged to have dinner and sing tonight…” Liu Hun didn’t deny it, speaking frankly.

“That’s alright, Teacher Lin, you are talented and young. It’s not an issue,” Qian Zhongshu said with a smile.

But for Yao Yu, hearing Liu Hun’s words made her eyes look at Liu Hun with a touch of emotion.

Liu Hun had not only saved face for her but was also willing to openly acknowledge their relationship. Although Yao Yu knew she might never become Liu Hun’s other half, at that moment, she felt it was worth it to be Liu Hun’s lover, as long as this man cherished her.

“Here, Teacher Lin, student Yao Yu, have some cake,” Qian Zhongshu said as he passed slices of cake to both Liu Hun and Yao Yu.

Yao Yu looked at Liu Hun, who knew she was asking for his opinion. He patted her hand and smiled, “Don’t worry about it. Since we’re together, just relax.”

After the group had cake, Liu Hun curiously looked at Feng Xiaoxiao’s face and said, “Teacher Qian, I’m a little puzzled, and I’m not sure if I should ask…”

“Teacher Lin, you want to ask why Xiaoxiao’s face is like this, right?” Qian Zhongshu sighed, putting down his cake, his face filled with bitterness.

“I’m just curious, Teacher Qian must know that besides being a teacher, I’m also a doctor. Xiaoxiao’s face looks like it’s been ruined from the inside…” Liu Hun’s eyes held a questioning look.

Hearing Liu Hun’s words, a shock passed through Qian Zhongshu’s eyes, but he quickly composed himself and nodded, “When I was young, I lived in a small mountain village in Southeast Province. One time, because I was being naughty and stayed out too late, when I returned to the village, I found all the villagers had been slain, leaving me the only survivor. The police took me to an orphanage, and not long after, Xiaoxiao’s parents adopted me, but…”

As he spoke, a pained expression crossed Qian Zhongshu’s handsome face.

“Zhongshu, it’s all in the past. You shouldn’t blame yourself. I think our parents in heaven wouldn’t want you to keep blaming yourself either, and after all, it had nothing to do with you,” Feng Xiaoxiao said, taking Qian Zhongshu’s hand in reassurance.

With a bitter smile, Qian Zhongshu glanced at Liu Hun and the other two before continuing, “I thought I’d left my painful life behind, but three years later, Xiaoxiao’s parents were also murdered in an accident when I was at school. When I got home, that’s what I saw; Xiaoxiao’s face was disfigured by those people at that time. It’s my cursed fate, I’ve caused the death of so many people, it’s all my fault…”

“Did you see who the murderer was, Xiaoxiao?” Liu Hun didn’t focus on Qian Zhongshu’s self-blame but asked curiously.

“No, their faces were covered with masks. I just felt a powder-like substance being thrown at my face, and since then it’s been like this; Zhongshu wanted to cure my face, which is why he went into medicine,” Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head.

“I’m useless, after so many years, I still haven’t been able to find a cure for you,” Qian Zhongshu said, self-reproachfully looking at Feng Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the loving exchange between them, Liu Hun frowned slightly.

From Qian Zhongshu’s speech, Liu Hun could not find any flaw, but he wholly believed everything Wang Xiaofei had said.

“If Xiaofei’s words are true, then this guy must be too crafty by half…” Liu Hun thought to himself.

“Teacher Qian, perhaps I have a method that could cure your daughter’s face,” Liu Hun pondered for a while before seriously addressing Qian Zhongshu and Feng Xiaoxiao.

“What? Liu… Teacher Lin, did you just say you have a way to treat Xiaoxiao’s face?” Hearing Liu Hun’s words, Qian Zhongshu looked at Liu Hun with a face full of shock.

“Since I haven’t examined her in detail yet, I’m not very certain, and even if I figure out the problem, I can’t be one hundred percent sure,” Liu Hun said to them in a somber tone.

“In the practice of medicine, who can be one hundred percent certain? Teacher Lin, if you can really cure Xiaoxiao’s face, I, Qian Zhongshu, will readily become your ox or horse, not complaining one bit,” Qian Zhongshu stated earnestly.

No matter if what Qian Zhongshu was saying was true or false, Liu Hun now needed to get closer to Qian Zhongshu to receive more useful information.

“Zhongshu, let’s not bother Teacher Lin. I’ve lived with this face for so many years without help; I’m already used to it,” said Feng Xiaoxiao, not wishing to trouble Liu Hun nor wanting Qian Zhongshu to follow Liu Hun’s arrangements because of her.

If that was the case, she would rather stay this way for her entire life.

“Xiaoxiao, you might not realize that Teacher Lin is actually the chairman of Tianhe Company, the one who has created several medical miracles. I’m confident Teacher Lin can cure your face,” explained Qian Zhongshu, believing Feng Xiaoxiao was worried about Liu Hun’s medical skills.

“I…” Feng Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, eventually sighed, and didn’t say anything.

She knew that Qian Zhongshu had gone through so much suffering and tribulations for her face over the years; he wouldn’t let go of even a sliver of hope.

“Teacher Qian, daughter, don’t worry about it. After all, I don’t lack anything right now. And as for treating your daughter, consider it a thanks for those two pieces of cake just now,” Liu Hun said with a smile, easing Feng Xiaoxiao’s concerns.

“This… it’s just two pieces of cake, Teacher Lin,” said Feng Xiaoxiao somewhat embarrassingly to Liu Hun.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hun waved his hand and said, “Do Teacher Qian and the young lady think I treat people for money? And do I look like someone who’s in need of money now?”

Liu Hun’s two rhetorical questions left Qian Zhongshu and Feng Xiaoxiao speechless.

Given Liu Hun’s current status, he certainly wasn’t in need of money; a person’s wealth reaches a point of Realm, after which they have no great pursuit of other things; at least, that’s how it seemed to both of them.

“Let’s do this: Teacher Qian, bring your daughter to the First People’s Hospital this weekend. I will personally examine her and carry out the treatment,” Liu Hun mused for a moment and then continued.

“Then it’s settled, we’ll trouble Teacher Lin,” Qian Zhongshu said gratefully.

“We’re all teachers from the same school. There’s no need to thank me. To practice medicine is to heal the afflicted; as a doctor, I cannot very well stand by and watch someone die, can I?” Liu Hun said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone exchanged smiles. Since Liu Hun had agreed to treat Feng Xiaoxiao, Qian Zhongshu and Feng Xiaoxiao kept being polite to Liu Hun and Yao Yu.

Unfortunately, the pleasant moment didn’t last long. Just when Liu Hun had hoped to get more information from Qian Zhongshu, the door to the KTV room was kicked open.

“Who was it that has been assaulting others?” Four or five policemen burst in the door and walked straight in, the man leading them had a protruding belly, and his pudgy face, with its small eyes, coldly swept across the four people in the room.

“Dad, they were the ones who beat me up! My belly still hurts terribly; you have to stand up for me,” Wang Dong said angrily, standing beside the middle-aged fat man and pointing at Liu Hun and the others.

The lights in the KTV were dim, and without even a glance, Wang Gang immediately instructed his subordinates, “Take all of them back to the police station.”

From Wang Gang’s perspective, someone who frequented such places clearly didn’t have any power or status, so he didn’t need to be considerate; if they hit his son, they must pay the price.

Feng Xiaoxiao had just finished clearing up the cake on the table and throwing it into the trash can. Thus, she was the closest to Wang Gang and the policemen who promptly grabbed Feng Qiaoqiao.

“My god… a ghost…” Once the junior officers got a clear look at Feng Xiaoxiao’s face, they cried out in shock, quickly retreating to one side, terrified.

“Ghost your mother… F*ck your grandma’s… you dare to look this ugly coming out wanting to scare people to death!” Wang Dong couldn’t help but curse when he saw the timid reactions of the junior officers; however, he too jumped when he saw Feng Xiaoxiao’s face.

“I won’t allow you to speak of Xiaoxiao that way!” Qian Zhongshu gritted his teeth, shielding Feng Xiaoxiao behind him, glaring angrily at Wang Dong.

“F*ck your grandma, who the hell do you think you are? I’ll settle the score from just now with interest, right now!” With that, Wang Dong launched a barrage of punches and kicks onto Qian Zhongshu.
