Wind Chen’s lips curled into a cheerless smile. He wasn’t boasting. He really knew Tariq Lin.

About two or three years ago, Wind Chen and Old Geezer had specially visited Tariq Lin and stayed with him for half a month.

In short, it was a bad day for Ray Zong to pretend that he knew a big shot in this industry.

“How dare you pretend to be a disciple of Tariq Lin and go around cheating others? If Tariq Lin found out about this, he’ll be able to make sure your spirit shatters into pieces with just one thought.”

Wind Chen spoke in neither a joking nor severe tone.

Ray Zong’s expression changed again. He looked a little worriedly at Ainara Xu several times.

“Young man, if you don’t know anything, then don’t simply spout nonsense here. Besides, Ray has already diagnosed the problem with Lindsey, but you’re purposely trying to make trouble here. That’s disgusting. Get out right now! Our family doesn’t welcome you,” shouted Ainara Xu with a dark expression on her face.

“Ainara, I repeat. Please don’t be rude to Doctor Chen.”

Tiger Xu’s expression had also darkened.

He was fully convinced by Wind Chen’s words earlier, and also believed that this Ray Zong was just a swindler who didn’t know anything about exorcism at all.

“Tiger Xu! You’d rather believe an outsider than your own sister? I’m so disappointed in you.”

Ainara Xu suddenly looked like she was on the brink of tears.

Tiger Xu looked like he was in a dilemma. There were many things he wanted to say, but he didn’t want to hurt his sister either.

After looking at Ainara Xu, Wind Chen’s gaze landed on Ray Zong. He said in a distant voice, “Your scent is identical to Ainara Xu’s. Ray Zong, what’s your relationship with Ainara Xu?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Ainara brought me in just now, so…so, isn’t it normal for some of her scent to be on me?”

“Oh, really? Then how do you explain that love bite that’s sticking out from your collar? Need me to drag you two to the hospital to confirm what that is?” Wind Chen remained expressionless.

Tiger Xu and his wife suddenly noticed that there was indeed a darkened bruise peeking out from Ray Zong’s collar.

In an instant, Tiger Xu’s expression turned to rage as he suddenly understood everything that just happened. This older sister of his had actually hooked up with a swindler and was trying to cheat him of a few million on the pretext of saving his daughter.

Ainara Xu couldn’t hide the tension on her face anymore and started to pale as she hurriedly explained, “Tiger, don’t listen to the nonsense that this little bastard is spouting. Don’t listen to him…”

Pak.

Before she could finish her sentence, Wind Chen slapped her across the face and sent her flying several meters out.

“If you dare to say such things one more time, I’ll kill you!”

Wind Chen’s gaze was void of any emotion.

“Ainara, if you’re in need of money, just tell me so. Why gang up with outsiders to cheat me? And you’re actually making use of the fact that Lindsey needs treatment! I’m so disappointed in you! Get out now! Get out!”

Tiger Xu flew into a rage.

Ray Zong saw that things had gone awry, so he turned and ran for it.

Neither Wind Chen nor Tiger Xu went after him, since he hadn’t been successful in cheating the family.

Ainara Xu also left in a daze and didn’t dare to say anything else.

Wind Chen quietly sighed to himself.

There were genuine people in this world, but there were greedy and despicable people as well. Plenty of people would stop at nothing to benefit themselves.

“Brother Chen, I’m really so sorry that you had to witness all that.”

Tiger Xu looked so embarrassed.

“It’s alright, I can understand. Let me check what’s wrong with Lindsey first,” said Wind Chen.

“Sure! Brother Chen, thanks for the hard work!” said Tiger Xu with a serious look on his face.

Wind Chen didn’t waste time talking and started checking the little girl.

A minute later, Wind Chen removed the wooden Goddess of Mercy pendant that was hanging around Lindsey’s neck.

He could feel a very cold aura emanating from this pendant.

“Lindsey’s illness stems from this pendant. As long as Lindsey doesn’t wear this pendant anymore, she will grow up healthy and strong,” explained Wind Chen solemnly.

“This pendant was also from his sister, and she claimed that it was blessed by the priests. I didn’t expect her to be so wicked! She nearly caused the death of my precious Lindsey! Tiger Xu, what a wonderful sister you have! She will do anything for the sake of money!”

Snow Wyan’s pretty eyes were filled with tears.

Tiger Xu collapsed weakly onto the couch. Reality had dealt him a cruel blow.

“Watch,” said Wind Chen quietly.

He crushed the pendant right in front of the couple.

Boom.

In an instant, an icy cold black gas wafted out. It seemed to come from the very depths of hell and sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

To the ordinary person who didn’t know better, this was the qi of a ghost.

But to a cultivator, this was qi that had too much yin energy properties in it. There was no way a young girl like Lindsey would be able to take it.

The couple was terrified out of their wits, and their faces were as white as a sheet.

“Tiger Xu, this is all thanks to that sister of yours! She actually got Lindsey to wear this evil thing for more than two months! I…I…”

Snow Wyan’s eyes were bloodshot. If she hadn’t seen it for herself, she would have found it hard to believe.

“Just be careful in the future, alright? I’ve got to head home. Otherwise, my wife is going to nag at me,” said Wind Chen with a laugh.

“Wait.” Tiger Xu quickly got up and pulled a card out from his wallet. He bowed and said, “Brother Chen, there’s five million dollars in this card, and the PIN is the last six digits of the card number. Please accept this present from me.”

“Brother Xu, don’t be like this. I really can’t take this from you.”

“Brother Chen, if you don’t accept this, then you’re not treating me as a friend. Besides, if you weren’t around today, this money might have gone to that swindler, Ray Zong,” Tiger Xu said sincerely.

“You’re younger than both of us, so I’ll consider you my younger brother. This money is a show of our gratitude to you. If you don’t take it, we’re not going to let you go home tonight,” chimed in Snow Wyan with a smile.

“But…”

“Come on, take it. I’ll get Snow to whip up a few of her best dishes another day, and we can have a few drinks, alright?”

Tiger Xu stuffed the card into Wind Chen’s hands.

“I’ll accept it then. Brother Xu, Sister Snow, I’m off!”

Wind Chen then left Tiger Xu’s place.

A short while later, Wind Chen returned to his own place.

His in-laws were already asleep, but to his surprise, Queena Ye was actually still awake. She was dressed in pink pajamas and sat up straight on the couch with a stern expression on her face. Wind Chen got a shock when he came back.

“Wifey, why aren’t you asleep yet? Don’t you have to go to work tomorrow?”

Wind Chen was really shocked. Queena Ye usually slept early.

Queena Ye stood up. Her scent filled the air and her figure was amazing, but her expression was extremely aloof as she stared at Wind Chen and said, “Don’t call me Wifey. Where have you been?”

“I went to provide treatment for a friend’s daughter,” replied Wind Chen.

“Are you sure you weren’t having fun with some other woman out there? Wind Chen, why wasn’t I aware before that you knew how to diagnose illnesses? I can’t believe you actually managed to come up with such a lousy excuse. Has something eaten up your IQ?” Queena Ye sneered coldly.

“You don’t believe me? I’m sure you know who Tiger Xu is, right? He’s the vice-president of Thousand City Entertainment. His daughter, Lindsey, is ill, so he asked me to…”

“Go on, go on spinning your tales.” Queena Ye’s pretty face was covered in a layer of frost. “I really don’t want to use my words to hurt you, but don’t you know what you’re really capable of? Why would someone as important as Tiger Xu want to have anything to do with you? What a joke.”

“Do you really see nothing good in me at all?”

Wind Chen looked straight at Queena Ye and tried his best to hide the hurt he felt.

Queena Ye froze for a while. She suddenly felt a little awful.

But when she thought about how Wind Chen was in the arms of that pretty young lady she didn’t know, a fire suddenly blazed in her heart again.

“I don’t care if there’s anything good about you or not, and I don’t care whose illness you treated. But remember this well, we’re still husband and wife in paper, so you better behave yourself!”

With that, Queena Ye turned and walked away.

Wind Chen’s heart sank. Could it be that Queena Ye happened to see Lola Chinn hug him outside Revival Hall earlier?

“Wifey, explain yourself before leaving. Did you see something and misunderstand? Or… Are you jealous?”

Wind Chen ran up to her and grabbed her slim and fair hand. He was suddenly a little excited.

“Don’t touch me.” Queena Ye flung Wind Chen’s hand away and said icily, “I didn’t see anything, and there’s no way I would be jealous. I’m just reminding you. Also, it’s Grandpa’s 80th birthday party tomorrow night. Do not embarrass me. Go and sleep now.”
