"Don't worry, it's truly gone, Jiang Hui is free from now on," Brother Gou said indifferently.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Jiang Hui and said, "Alright, it's all good, let's go."

Jiang Hui nodded and then walked out the door with Ling Zhenfei.

"Boss, you still don't know my address. How will you send the antidote in the future?" Brother Gou called out to Ling Zhenfei as he chased after him to the door.

"Find Ling Zhenfei's agent, leave the address."

After saying that, Ling Zhenfei had already left with Jiang Hui, departing from the Yihong Courtyard.

Turning back, Jiang Hui gazed at the sign of the Yihong Courtyard, with a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

"What do you plan to do from now on?" Ling Zhenfei asked Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui shook her head: "I don't know, I've already sent my mother back to our hometown. She has her sisters there, and life is much more comfortable than in the city. As for me, I still haven't figured it out."

"Live a good life, if fate allows, we'll meet again," Ling Zhenfei said as he prepared to leave; he had more important matters to attend to now.

But when Ling Zhenfei turned around, Jiang Hui hugged him from behind. She clung tightly to Ling Zhenfei's waist, her face against his back.

"Thank you, without you, I really don't know how I would have lived," she said.

"But now that you're leaving, I'm even more unsure about how to live on. Do you think I can go back to my previous life, to the way things were before?"

Ling Zhenfei comforted her, "Of course you can, your abilities are exceptional, you'll do well in whatever you undertake."

"But, but I find that I'm starting to miss you now. The moment you turned around just now, my heart ached for some reason," she confessed.

"People have to part ways eventually, don't think too much. If you miss me, you can come to Xishan Manor in Binyang to find me."

Jiang Hui was momentarily stunned, then said, "You must have a lot of girls around you, right?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's right, there are many girls, but there aren't many with whom I've had a relationship like the one we've had. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me. Even though our relationship began due to many misunderstandings, we are friends now."

Jiang Hui let go of Ling Zhenfei and then walked beside him, gazing at him softly, "Thank you so much, you've made me realize the huge gap between myself and others, thank you."

After saying that, Jiang Hui ran off into the distance. Her slender figure gradually faded away, disappearing into the sound of the traffic at the end of the road.

Ling Zhenfei felt a slight sense of loss inside, but still turned and walked towards the distance. He reached the roadside and tried to hail a cab, but amidst the weaving traffic, no car seemed willing to stop.

"This is really frustrating. The more you want to catch a cab, the less you can get one. Maybe it really is about time to hire an assistant to avoid all this hassle."

After waiting for twenty minutes, Ling Zhenfei finally hailed a taxi. After telling the driver to head to People's Hospital, the car started moving towards its destination.

In the car, Ling Zhenfei dialed Guo Qing'an's number, and Guo Qing'an immediately picked up the call.

"Afei, what's up?"

"Have you figured out the timing for that matter?"

Guo Qing'an sounded rather anxious, "Not yet, as you know, we don't have any informants on Wu Yingxiong's side anymore, so information comes to us slowly."

"I've found out the time."

Ling Zhenfei had just finished speaking when Guo Qing'an reacted sharply, "What did you say? You know the time now? What time is it? Tell me quickly."

"It's three days from now, and there's no time to delay. Hurry and have the higher-ups prepare. If that really happens, it will be a major incident."

Ling Zhenfei knew that if a real battle broke out, it would lead to a regional conflict. If the old Maozi sent troops, it could easily result in civilian casualties.

"Alright, I really can't thank you enough. I'll go report to the higher-ups right away and discuss what should be done about this matter."

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone. At that moment, the person next to him spoke up.

"Buddy, what did you mean by three days from now? Is something going to happen in three days?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled upon hearing this, as he had been speaking cautiously with his back to the driver. He hadn't expected the driver to have overheard so much.

"Oh, it's nothing. Li Yuetong is coming here to hold a concert in three days."

The driver laughed after hearing this, "Li Yuetong is actually coming here for a concert? She must be out of her mind—this place is so cold that not even the birds bother. And hasn't she seen the weather forecast? It's going to snow these days."

"Snow?" Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. Snow was coming early this year in the Northeast, but with this cold weather, snowfall was normal.

Upon arriving at the People's Hospital, Ling Zhenfei parked the car and went in. Because of the sudden chill, there were only a few of Ling Zhenfei's fans at the main entrance, who didn't recognize him with his Human Skin Mask on.

In the sickroom, he first checked Han Lian's condition, which had stabilized significantly and there were no other issues.

After chatting with Han Lian for a while, he gave her some tonic medicine, and then she fell back into deep sleep. Although Han Lian was sleeping more, the medicine was incredibly beneficial for her condition.

This accelerated Han Lian's recovery, so even if she slept more, it was advantageous for her.

Han Yunfeng and Zhang Qin showered Ling Zhenfei with concern and warmth, treating him even better than they would a son-in-law, which made Ling Zhenfei feel somewhat embarrassed.

He found an empty room to engage in cultivation, feeling that his two cultivation techniques were on the brink of a breakthrough.

He was about to reach the Fifth Level of the Zhiyi Realm, and his Soul Passage was also on the verge of ascending to the next level, which thrilled Ling Zhenfei.

With no one to disturb him, Ling Zhenfei spent the whole day in intense cultivation and finally achieved a breakthrough to the Fifth Level of the Zhiyi Realm at dawn.

After several more hours of cultivating, Soul Passage reached the pinnacle of the Qi Refinement Realm. Despite several attempts, Ling Zhenfei couldn't make the breakthrough, indicating something was still lacking.

After taking a Breakthrough Pill, Ling Zhenfei successfully advanced his Soul Passage to the Mingmu Realm.

His initial cultivation had benefitted from Northern Spiritual Energy, and since he was already at the Zhiyi state, his progress was naturally swift, which allowed him to reach the Mingmu Realm in such a short period.

Ecstatic, Ling Zhenfei tried to extend his Divine Sense and was astonished to find that it enveloped the entire building.

His Divine Sense branched in over a dozen directions, clearly observing everything happening inside the building.

He saw Han Yunfeng soundly asleep on another bed in Han Lian's sickroom, saw Lu Meng writing notes at the nurses' station,

saw a patient on the lower floor screaming in agony, and spotted someone in the emergency room receiving critical care who, it seemed, was not long for this world.

He even caught sight of a man and a woman in an empty room with no one around, engaged in indecent acts.

The woman appeared to be a doctor, and the man wasn't a male doctor. Ling Zhenfei heard their conversation clearly—they were having an affair. But this was none of Ling Zhenfei's business, so he didn't interfere.
