Chapter 192 - Compromise
?The dean gazed at Jiang Hao's youthful, smiling face and felt a surge of despair in his heart. “Is this kid a damn devil in disguise? He's no mere child!”
He berated himself for foolishly scheming against Jiang Hao.
“Am I just asking for trouble here?”
Faced with Jiang Hao's sinister grin, the dean managed to force out a smile more pained than tears.
“Divine Doctor Jiang, I've learned my lesson. Your secret is safe with me!”
“Please show mercy and lift whatever spell you've cast on me!”
Jiang Hao simply smiled and shook his head.
“No can do.”
“But rest easy. As long as you keep our agreement, I won't activate it.”
With that, Jiang Hao dismissed the dean, the sly old fox.
“Now, Auntie and the director can go handle the discharge paperwork. Cousin, stay with Uncle for a bit.”
Then, Jiang Hao turned his attention to Specialist Hong, who was looking at him with eager anticipation.
“Come with me,” he beckoned.
With a gesture to Specialist Hong, Jiang Hao exited the ward.
Hong Yangwei, sensing the reason for the summons, was ecstatic and hurried after him.
Left with no choice, the dean took Mu Xiaohua to complete the discharge formalities, while Guo Yifei remained to care for her father.
……
Once Specialist Hong emerged, Jiang Hao gave him a look and began.
“I had no intention of saving you.”
Specialist Hong tensed up at Jiang Hao's words, anxious.
“However, I'm a man who repays debts—whether of vengeance or gratitude. Given your earnest apology and the small favor you did for me, I'll grudgingly save you this once.”
Hong Yangwei was overjoyed, showering Jiang Hao with thanks and vows of loyalty.
“Thank you, Divine Doctor Jiang! I'm eternally grateful!”
“Should you ever need my assistance in the future, just command me. I will spare no effort to fulfill your request!”
Jiang Hao dismissed the gratitude with a wave of his hand.
“Enough of that.”
“However, the Purple Blood Immortal Peach Blossom is exceedingly rare. You might have to do some digging to uncover its origins. I've saved you once, but what if there's a next time?”
“Just keep those things in mind. Now, lead me to a quiet ward so I can detoxify you!”
Upon hearing Jiang Hao speak of the person who had placed the bet, Specialist Hong's expression turned fierce with anger.
But as soon as he learned that Jiang Hao was going to rid him of the poison, he swiftly cast his animosity aside and responded.
“Understood, I'll be careful!”
“Please follow me, Divine Doctor Jiang. We can use my office.”
……
In Hong Yangwei's office.
Hong Yangwei lay on the bed, with Icy Jade Needles inserted into his chest, neck, forehead, and several other areas.
As a pale pink mist began to emanate from the dragon-shaped tips at the end of the Icy Jade Needles, Hong Yangwei felt an immediate sense of relief wash over him. His chest felt clear, and a refreshing coolness spread from his throat.
It was then that Jiang Hao spoke up.
“There, the poison from the Purple Blood Peach Fairy has been successfully expelled!”
With that, Jiang Hao swiftly removed the Icy Jade Needles from Hong Yangwei's body.
Hong Yangwei sat up, reveling in the wave of comfort that swept through him, his joy evident.
He then pulled out a bank card from his pocket and offered it.
“Divine Doctor Jiang, this is one million as a small token of my gratitude. I ask for your continued assistance!”
Jiang Hao methodically collected the Icy Jade Needles, then glanced at Hong Yangwei's earnest expression and took a moment to reflect.
“Very well, I'll accept this one million as compensation for my efforts.”
Jiang Hao extended his hand to receive the card.
There's an old adage that says a true gentleman loves money but always earns it honorably.
He wasn't one to make a fuss; he'd take what was rightfully his.
And what wasn't meant for him, he wouldn't accept even if offered.
