"Upstairs, can you make your girlfriend keep it down when you're doing your business?"
"I've put up with you for several nights now. If you don't quiet down, I'm going to report you for disturbing the peace!"
As Qin Chuan read the message from his downstairs neighbor, his brows furrowed tightly. These past few days, he had been at the hospital tending to his critically ill sister and had not been at home at all.
It must be a mistake by the neighbor!
Just as he was about to explain, the neighbor sent over a video clip, adding, "This is your place, right? I can hear your girlfriend's screams just standing outside your door. Don't push me to break the door and embarrass you!"
Qin Chuan clicked on the video, and immediately, lewd noises infiltrated the air. He was struck as if by lightning.
The screams were indeed coming from his own home, and they were all too familiar.
"No! It cannot be!"
"We're engaged to be married, how could she possibly betray me?"
Qin Chuan was extremely agitated. Without witnessing it personally, he refused to believe his fiancée could betray him.
Just then, his sister's attending physician arrived and said in a cold tone, "Qin Chuan, if you can't make up the outstanding fees by 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, we'll have to stop treating your sister."
"Your sister's condition is very serious, and her life is in danger at any moment. If we stop the treatment, it is as good as pronouncing her death."
Without giving Qin Chuan a chance to speak, Doctor Liu turned and walked away.
Qin Chuan slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon.
A month ago, his sister had been in a car accident and had been in a coma ever since. The driver who caused the accident had fled and had not been found to this day.
Ever since his sister was admitted to the hospital, he had borrowed from everyone he knew—yet it was just a drop in the bucket. There was still a large sum of treatment fees outstanding, and in just one night, there was not enough time, even if he resorted to stealing or robbing!
Considering that his fiancée might have very likely betrayed him, his emotions collapsed completely; he sat in the cold corridor, weeping silently.
After venting his emotions, he dried his tears and got up to leave.
Now, there was one more thing he could do, the only way he could quickly raise money: by getting a mortgage on the wedding house his parents had bought for him.
Half an hour later, at Jia Kang Yuan Residential Area.
"Darling, I'm already your woman. When exactly are you going to marry me?"
"When the time is ripe, I'll bring up the matter with my dad. But can you really shake off that poor kid?"
"You can be a hundred percent sure. I've already transferred the apartment to my brother's name. That guy's now just a penniless loser. What can he do to pester me?"
"Haha, truly, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!"
Qin Chuan's hand clenched on the doorknob, his veins bulging!
He never imagined that the woman he had loved for three years, his fiancée, could be such a shameless woman.
What infuriated him even more was that this vile woman had transferred the wedding house, which his grandfather had saved his whole life to buy for him, into her brother's name.
"Bang!"
With a forceful kick, the door flew open.
The room was in shambles, with intimate clothing strewn all over the floor.
"Who's the bastard interrupting me? Get out of here if you know what's good for you!" bellowed the man on the bed, his anger boiling over from being interrupted.
Liu Fei instinctively pulled the bedsheet over herself, but when she saw it was Qin Chuan, the panic on her face vanished, replaced with an expression of disgust. "Darling, this is that loser," she said.
Then, turning to Qin Chuan, she continued contemptuously, "Since you've seen it all, let me tell you straight. I'm Wang Song's woman now. We are breaking up—right now, immediately! Get out of my house, or I'll call the police!"
Qin Chuan trembled with rage. The apartment was his only hope to save his sister, and now this despicable woman had gone and transferred it to her brother?
"Ah... I'm going to kill you both, you despicable couple!"
Qin Chuan completely lost his mind, rushed to the bedside, and grabbed Liu Fei by the neck. His face twisted with fury as he roared, "You vile woman, how could you do this to me? Give me back the house, give it back..."
"Bang!"
A heavy blow landed on his head, leaving Qin Chuan dizzy, with blood flowing down from his scalp, drenching his face.
Wang Song, his hands covered in blood from the ashtray he had just thrown aside, followed up by kicking Qin Chuan to the ground and mocked, "You're nothing but a loser, and you dare to lay hands on my woman?"
Qin Chuan's head was pinned to the ground by Wang Song, his blood-red eyes fixated on Liu Fei with a desire to shred this vile woman into ten thousand pieces.
Gazing down at Qin Chuan with mockery on her face, Liu Fei said, "Qin Chuan, don't look at me with those eyes, you know what? Your sister looked at me with the same eyes, and now she's still lying in the hospital."
Boom!
Qin Chuan's brain thundered, and he looked at Liu Fei in disbelief.
Liu Fei laughed triumphantly and added, "Your sister found out about Wang Song and me, but at that time, the house wasn't transferred over yet. If you knew about it, wouldn't you want to break up with me?"
"I couldn't let our engagement be for nothing! Naturally, I wanted to get my hands on your house, so to keep the secret, I had Wang Song run her over with his car. I didn't expect her to be so lucky to survive."
"Luckily, with her injuries, even if she wakes up, she will be a fool."
"Besides, now everything you have is mine. If you want her to live, I disagree, haha…"
The words of Liu Fei pierced Qin Chuan's heart like a sharp knife, twisting viciously.
"Ah…"
Qin Chuan let out an enraged roar, struggling furiously, bellowing, "You this damned, I'll kill you, I'll kill you…"
But his head, injured and still being stepped on by Wang Song, couldn't rise up at all.
His eyes, stained with fresh blood, fixated on Liu Fei as he shouted angrily, "Why? Where did I ever wrong you for you to treat me this way?"
Liu Fei sneered disdainfully, "The biggest private hospital in Jiangcheng City, Ren Kang Hospital, is owned by Wang Song's family! You, a nobody, how could you compare to him?"
Blood streamed from Qin Chuan's crimson eyes down his cheeks as he ground his teeth and said, "You, you'll definitely get your retribution, you will!"
"Pfft!"
A spurt of blood gushed forth, and overwhelmed by rage, Qin Chuan fainted.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't pretend to be dead in my house!"
Without an ounce of sympathy, Liu Fei kicked Qin Chuan's body twice, and seeing no response from him, she suddenly panicked, saying in shock, "No… could he be dead?"
Wang Song was also nervous, checking Qin Chuan's breath, his face turned pale as he exclaimed, "He's dead! Dammit, what rotten luck, we need to deal with this quickly!"
The two of them avoided the surveillance cameras and dumped Qin Chuan in a pile of trash before hastily departing.
No sooner had they left, than the seemingly dead Qin Chuan, with no heartbeat or breath, suddenly had a golden chain mark appear on his forehead.
Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted from his forehead, enveloping him completely.
If anyone had been there, they would have been shocked to see Qin Chuan's wounds start to heal at a visibly rapid pace.
Then, a terrifying aura burst forth from his body, causing hearts to tremble.
"Crack!"
The sound, like metal shattering, echoed as the golden chain mark on Qin Chuan's forehead vanished without a trace.
And Qin Chuan's lost heartbeat and breath were restored in an instant.
A flood of memory fragments appeared in Qin Chuan's mind.
"My son, Qin Shengtian, turns out to be a useless, spiritless wretch. Pretend I never had this son; send him to Kunlun Divine Prison!"
"Master, please reconsider! Once you enter Kunlun Divine Prison, there is no hope of ever coming out. No matter what, the young master is your flesh and blood!"
"If those people find out he exists, does a spiritless wretch like him have any chance of living? In Kunlun Divine Prison, there is still a slim chance of survival!"
...
"Seven Extremes Divine Needles! This is the number one acupuncture method in The Ancient Medical Treasure! Your skill is so masterful! I'm ashamed to be a guardian of the medical path, Divine Doctor Qin, please take me as your disciple!"
"After today, I will leave! Becoming my disciple is pointless!"
"What? You're leaving? Since the founding of Kunlun Divine Prison, no one has ever left. To leave, there's only one way, which is to defeat the six guardians one by one. Are you saying, you still wish to defeat the other five guardians?"
...
Scene after familiar scene, like a movie, flashed rapidly through Qin Chuan's mind.
"Huh~"
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and abruptly sat up.
