"Little rascal, go to bed early, I'm heading back now."

Under Qin Yang's intense gaze, Ruan Xinxue's heart quickened, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at Qin Yang again. Then, hugging her change of clothes, she fled from Qin Yang's bedroom as if in a panic.

Qin Yang let out a bitter laugh; it seemed Sister Ruan wasn't giving him any chance to be a beast.

Go to bed early?

Qin Yang glanced down at little Qin Yang, Sister Ruan, how can I sleep like this?

"Let's go take a cold shower."

Qin Yang walked into the bathroom, and the scent left by Ruan Xinxue after bathing still lingered in the entire room.

Returning to her room, recalling Qin Yang's fiery eyes, Ruan Xinxue's heart continued to race.

The night was quiet, but tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The Yunshui City People's Hospital was brightly lit.

Although it was already midnight, all the doctors in the hospital were at their posts.

At the end of the first-floor hallway stood several figures outside the operating room door, each exuding a formidable presence. Among them were Vice Mayor Yang Jianye, Ruan Yiliang, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the hospital director Ji Ankang, and some other high-ranking hospital officials.

The "In Surgery" sign above the operating room door was still glowing red. A patient had been inside for almost four hours.

In front of the operating room, Yang Jianye, who always kept his emotions in check, now had bloodshot eyes, and his face was frighteningly sullen, causing the surrounding hospital officials to hold their breaths.

His own son had actually been subjected to such humiliation—kicked until his lower parts were ruined and violated from behind. Was there any more disgraceful method than this?!

Yang Jianye was simply incredulous that such a thing could happen to his son. Given the Yang Family's influence, there were few in Huaxia Country who dared to treat a descendant of the Yang Family with such humiliation.

"Comrade Yiliang, what on earth happened? Where's the culprit? I'm asking you, where's the culprit?!"

Yang Jianye's face was sullen, and he was barely suppressing the fury within him as he looked at Ruan Yiliang beside him.

Upon hearing Yang Jianye's questioning, Ruan Yiliang furrowed his brow. He and Yang Jianye were both members of the municipal committee and held the same rank, although Yang Jianye was fourth in the committee, ranking slightly ahead. However, in terms of rank, Yang Jianye had no right to speak to him in such a tone.

"Comrade Jianye, don't worry, I am currently arranging for the police to interrogate everyone at the hotel one by one."

Ruan Yiliang glanced at Yang Jianye and spoke calmly.

Realizing that his tone towards Ruan Yiliang was inappropriate, Yang Jianye took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest, and said, "Comrade Yiliang, I want to know exactly who did this!"

"We are still investigating this matter."

Ruan Yiliang's response remained unchanged and calm.

"Comrade Yiliang, I hope you can tell me the truth. I've heard that you let three people go from the hotel tonight."

Yang Jianye stared intently at Ruan Yiliang, trying to glean from Ruan Yiliang's expression why he did so.

"That's correct, we did let three people go."

Ruan Yiliang paused for a moment and then replied.

"Who were they?" Yang Jianye's eyebrows tightened.

"My niece Ruan Xinxue and her two friends."

Ruan Yiliang gave Yang Jianye a glance and said.

"Comrade Ruan Yiliang, may I know why you did this?"

Yang Jianye's tone turned cold.

"Vice Mayor Yang, actually, figuring out the truth is simple. Once your son wakes up, everything will become clear."

Ruan Yiliang furrowed his brow, left that remark, and then walked out of the People's Hospital without looking back.

Watching Ruan Yiliang's figure vanish down the hospital corridor, Yang Jianye's expression grew increasingly grim, and anger surged within his heart.

From Ruan Yiliang's tone, Yang Jianye knew that Ruan Yiliang certainly knew the truth of the matter, and it was likely connected to Ruan Xinxue and the other two people who had been let go.

"This matter needs to be reported to the old man quickly."

At the hospital entrance, Ruan Yiliang lit a cigarette, took a puff, murmured, and then got into the Sixth Committee car heading for the military region.

The operating room door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged doctor removed his mask and hurried out, his expression quite grim.

Seeing the middle-aged doctor's face, Yang Jianye's brow furrowed deeply, and his already sullen face became even more unpleasant.

"How is my son?"

Yang Jianye asked in a low voice.

"Mayor Yang, Young Master Yang, he—he..."

The middle-aged doctor hesitated.

"Don't beat around the bush, tell Mayor Yang straight out," said Ji Ankang, the hospital director, with a change in expression.

"Mayor Yang, I'm afraid the patient's two key organs (and … harmony) cannot be preserved."

The middle-aged doctor gritted his teeth and voiced his thoughts.

"What?!"

Yang Jianye's expression changed drastically, his eyes turned red, and the worst-case scenario he had feared still happened.

"Director Xu, I order you to do everything you can to treat him. Make sure Young Master Yang is healed, or I'll remove you from your position!"

Ji Ankang's face also looked terrible; this situation was a slap in his face. When Yang Buqun was sent to the hospital, he assured Mayor Yang that the hospital's top-notch facilities would ensure Yang Buqun's recovery, and this was the outcome. Should Mayor Yang harbor a grudge, his tenure as dean might be nearing its end.

"Dean Ji, I—I've already done my best..."

The middle-aged doctor, Director Xu, looked pale and helpless, knowing full well the gravity of the situation—Yang Buqun wasn't only the son of Mayor Yang but also a member of the Yang Family.

Yang Jianye's expression was extremely sullen, and his fists tightened ever more, clearly struggling to suppress the anger that burned within him.

"Boss, Mr. Fu has gotten off the plane and is on his way to the People's Hospital."

Just then, a young man holding a briefcase briskly approached Yang Jianye.

"Mr. Fu is here?"

The grim expression on Yang Jianye's face shifted slightly, and a gleam shone in his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Fu flew in from the Capital City overnight. With him here, the Young Master is sure to be healed."

The young man with the briefcase nodded to Yang Jianye and said.

The next morning, sunlight spilled through the window, and Qin Yang woke up early, freshened up, and left the bedroom.

By then, Ruan Xinxue had already gotten up and prepared breakfast: preserved egg and lean meat porridge, steamed buns, and some delicate side dishes.

Watching Ruan Xinxue place the porridge and side dishes on the dining table, a gentle look flashed in Qin Yang's eyes—Sister Ruan was not only beautiful but also very kind and virtuous.

After breakfast, Qin Yang drove towards the suburbs, first to check on the relocation of the Fire Spirit Fish at Feipu Manor, and then to the Treasure Pavilion of the Celestial Sword Pavilion to gather medicinal materials for refining the Beauty Pill, a promise he had made to Sister Ruan. He hadn't had the chance to fulfill it yet, but today he was determined to make it happen.
