In the moment before he lost consciousness, Ye Qiu heard an old voice echoing in his mind:
"I am the ancestor of the Ye family. I have traversed the world and been invincible. Before my passing, I left a trace of my consciousness in this jade bracelet, making it a family heirloom."
"Time has passed, and my descendants have fallen to such a state. How lamentable!"
"Since we meet by fate today, I will pass on all my knowledge to you."
"Remember, with my legacy, you must uphold righteousness and never stray onto the path of evil, or you will have no place to rest after death!"
Then, Ye Qiu saw the white jade bracelet he had given to Zhang Lili suddenly transform into a five-clawed golden dragon and dive into his chest.
"Ah…"
Ye Qiu jolted awake, startled.
Opening his eyes, he found himself still in Zhang Lili's rental apartment, with Zhang Lili and Guo Shaocong long gone.
"Damn it."
Ye Qiu cursed and got up from the floor.
At that moment, he was astonished to find that he felt no pain at all, and there were no injuries on his body.
Ye Qiu clearly remembered that Guo Shaocong had stomped on his fingers, causing him to faint from the pain, but now his fingers had not only recovered but were even in better condition than before.
What's going on?
Suddenly, Ye Qiu recalled the dream.
Could everything in the dream be real?
Ye Qiu closed his eyes.
In the next moment, his face was filled with shock.
His mind was now filled with all kinds of strange knowledge—medical skills, martial arts, cultivation methods, Qi Men Dun Jia, Feng Shui, and so on...
And there was even a book titled "Complete Manual of Mao Shan Talismans"!
It recorded methods for using various Mao Shan talismans, such as the Bad Luck Talisman, Godspeed Spell, Exorcism Talisman, and Open Sky Eye...
A total of one hundred and eight types!
"Oh my god, what is this?"
Ye Qiu was stunned.
"Beep beep beep——"
Suddenly, a series of urgent phone rings startled Ye Qiu.
He took out his phone and saw the caller ID displayed as "Bai Bing." He quickly answered the call, saying respectfully, "Director Bai, what can I do for you?"
"Come back immediately. I'm waiting for you in the office." The woman's voice on the phone was clear and pleasant.
Ye Qiu asked, "Director Bai, what's the matter?"
"Do you still have the nerve to ask me that?"
Click!
The phone was abruptly hung up.
Ye Qiu's heart sank. From Bai Bing's tone, he sensed something was wrong.
"What did I do?" Ye Qiu muttered, hurrying to the hospital.
…
Bai Bing lived up to her name with her fair skin, tall figure, and exquisitely delicate features, which gave her an innate nobility. However, she always maintained a cold demeanor, giving people a sense of aloofness. Thus, her colleagues privately called her the "Ice Queen."
Beautiful women are never short of suitors. Many pursued Bai Bing, but none succeeded.
It seemed that women naturally possessed a certain pride, but Bai Bing was even more proud than usual.
Of course, she had the credentials to be proud.
Despite her youth, Bai Bing was highly skilled in medicine, earning her doctorate from the Royal College of Surgeons in Britain at twenty-three.
By twenty-four, she was renowned in Jiangzhou.
By twenty-five, she was promoted unusually to become the youngest chief surgeon in Jiangzhou Hospital's history.
In Jiangzhou's medical community, Bai Bing's name was well-known.
What puzzled Ye Qiu was that despite several top hospitals in Beijing and Suzhou offering large sums of money to hire Bai Bing, all were refused.
The reason was unknown, leaving it a mystery.
Ye Qiu arrived at the hospital and, as he entered the lobby, noticed some nurses at the reception desk pointing and casting disdainful looks at him.
The uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger.
The nurses' expressions indicated that something had gone wrong, and it seemed to involve him.
But he hadn't done anything wrong!
Ye Qiu didn't have time to think much and went straight to the chief surgeon's office, knocking on the door.
Knock knock—
"Come in!" A cold voice came from inside.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked in. He saw Bai Bing going through medical records.
"Director Bai, you wanted to see me?" Ye Qiu asked softly.
Bai Bing didn't look up, her eyes fixed on the medical records.
Ye Qiu's anxiety increased. He had worked under Bai Bing for some time and understood her temperament. If she didn't speak, it meant she was angry.
"Did I really make a mistake? Otherwise, why would Director Bai be so upset?"
Ye Qiu asked himself, but he couldn't think of any mistake he had made.
Bai Bing remained silent, and Ye Qiu did too, standing in front of the desk. He sneaked a glance at Bai Bing.
Today, Bai Bing was dressed in a silver-white professional outfit, which accentuated her tall figure perfectly. Her astonishingly ample chest rose and fell with her breathing, seemingly on the verge of breaking free from her blouse.
Her long black hair was tied back, revealing a stunning oval face.
Professional! Cold!
After leaving Ye Qiu standing for five minutes, Bai Bing finally raised her head and slammed the medical record on the desk, saying coldly, "Is this your medical record?"
Ye Qiu picked up the record and quickly scanned it, nodding, "Yes, Director Bai, this is what I wrote this morning."
"Why does this record match exactly with the one Guo Shaocong wrote?" Bai Bing said sharply. "Be honest, why did you plagiarize Guo Shaocong's record?"
"Match exactly? That's impossible." Ye Qiu quickly explained, "This record was written by me in the office this morning. I didn't plagiarize."
"You say it's yours, but do you have evidence?"
"Yes. Zhang Lili came to the office with a drink for me this morning. She saw me write it."
"But Zhang Lili has already testified that this record was written by Guo Shaocong. What else do you have to say?" Bai Bing's face was like frost.
Ye Qiu's face showed disbelief.
He quickly realized that this must be a scheme by those two to frame him.
"Director Bai, I swear this record was written by me. I stayed up all night working on it and checked many references. As for Zhang Lili testifying for Guo Shaocong, it must be because they…"
"No need to explain." Bai Bing interrupted. "The medical office is already aware of this. From today on, you will be assigned to the caregiver station. Without my permission, you are not allowed to see any patients."
"Director Bai, I…"
"Get out!" Bai Bing pointed to the door, showing no mercy.
Ye Qiu clenched his fists, suppressing his anger and frustration, and left the director's office in a huff.
"Guo Shaocong, Zhang Lili, just wait! I will not let this go!"
