CHAPTER 613: CHAPTER 612: YOU ARE MY SISTER (6/10)

"This..."

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, several people became nervous, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

You could say that now their fate was in Yang Chen’s hands.

Li Wanwan looked on incredulously at this scene.

She knew all of the people in front of her.

She went to middle school in the town, so of course, she knew the mayor and this new person who had just arrived...

Yet, she couldn’t understand why these people of immense power were afraid of Yang Chen?

Who exactly was Yang Chen?

The other patients watching also started discussing.

"Whose family is he from, to be so impressive!"

"Indeed! Incredible, even the leaders of our county have shown up."

"Looks like the director and Zhou Yao are doomed!"

"Serves them right!"

"Exactly, it serves them right! Look, the hospital in our town has even built a two-story building, yet we’re still in the old house. Imagine how much the director has embezzled!"

"Those two were never decent people to begin with, they deserve it!"

"It was such a satisfying beating, I want to go up there and kick them myself!"

"Who do you think this person is, to wield such power?"

"Unbelievable!"

"Too amazing!"

The crowd chatted eagerly, with people in the back craning their necks to see. This was the most impressive scene they’d ever witnessed, and once they went back home, they could boast about it to the village for an entire year!

The county official walked over, smiling obsequiously at Yang Chen, saying, "How do you want to handle it? I fully support your decision."

Yang Chen glanced at him, snorted coldly, and walked towards Chen Lin, the director, and Zhou Yao.

"I want to know what happened with Wang Guilan back then," Yang Chen said coldly, staring at the three.

"This..." Chen Lin’s forehead was streaked with cold sweat.

Zhou Yao, at this moment, even had thoughts of dying. He couldn’t fathom how Yang Chen could possess such immense power. If he had known, he would’ve surrendered right from the start and gone along with whatever needed to be done, avoiding landing in such a predicament.

The director looked as though his bones had been plucked out, his whole body seemed deflated.

He never expected things to develop to such an extent.

Thinking was unnecessary now, he knew his life was over.

"What? No one admits to it?" Yang Chen asked coldly.

Seeing that no one dared to confess, Yang Chen beckoned to Li Wanwan, "Little sister, come over and tell me!"

Li Wanwan hesitated for a moment, walked over, and said in a low voice, "It was him who treated my mom’s illness. It was the director who called in this Chen Lin, kidnapped my dad, and threatened us, so we didn’t dare to come."

Yang Chen nodded, looking at the county official, "Do you understand now?"

"I understand!" the county official nodded repeatedly, knowing what to do next.

He glared at Chen Lin, scolding him, "Go back!"

Chen Lin’s face turned ashen, and he told his subordinates, "Take them back."

After speaking, Chen Lin followed the county official, walking forward as if heading to his execution.

Upon reaching the doorway, Chen Lin couldn’t contain himself any longer. He turned around and rushed toward Yang Chen.

At that instant, a cold light flashed in Sun Yue’s eyes, and her right hand instinctively reached for her waist.

Gao Hong was faster, grabbing Chen Lin by the collar and pinning him to the ground.

Chen Lin struggled frantically, shouting, "Big Brother! I was wrong, Big Brother! Please forgive me! I’ll never dare again! Whatever you say, I’ll do! Please, forgive me!"

Yang Chen stared at Chen Lin, snorted coldly, and said, "You brought this on yourself, there’s no escape!"

After saying this, Yang Chen signaled to Gao Hong with his eyes.

Gao Hong gestured, grabbed Chen Lin, and delivered a knifehand strike to Chen Lin’s neck.

Chen Lin groaned and fainted.

Gao Hong tossed him aside and told the others, "Take him back!"

Looking at the unconscious Chen Lin on the ground, they couldn’t help but gulp, their legs trembling.

They knew they had truly angered someone they shouldn’t have this time.

Yang Chen looked on indifferently, with no trace of sympathy.

He knew that by the time Chen Lin woke up, he would find it impossible to leave that place.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, looked at Li Wanwan, and said softly, "Let’s go home."

Li Wanwan nodded, her tearful eyes fixed on Yang Chen as tears rolled down her face, "Thank you!"

"Don’t cry!" Yang Chen felt a twinge of heartache seeing the little girl crying.

He knew that after Saizi’s death, especially after her mother fell ill and her father ran off with money, this girl had been bearing too much at her age.

"Thank you! Really, thank you! If not for you, they...they..." Li Wanwan sobbed uncontrollably.

Yang Chen stepped forward, placed his hand on Li Wanwan’s frail shoulder, and said solemnly, "Little sister, in the Guard, your brother Li Chang was my brother. So from today on, you are my sister. If you have any problems, they’re my problems. So, you don’t need to thank me or worry about getting by in the future. As long as I’m here, you have nothing to worry about. Consider me as Li Chang; I am your brother."

Hearing these words, Li Wanwan’s eyes filled with tears, looked at Yang Chen, and cried incessantly.

Li Wanwan could no longer control herself, throwing herself into Yang Chen’s arms and crying out loudly, "Brother..."

Li Wanwan cried heart-wrenchingly, hysterically.

Hearing such cries, Yang Chen’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

Sun Yue turned her head slightly, unwilling for others to see her teary eyes.

Gao Hong’s eyes turned red too, clenching his fists as a sentence repeated in his mind: "If I don’t come back, take care of my family!"

Yet Saizi could not return, and now his family was left uncared for, ending up like this.

Gao Hong looked up at the sky, feeling pent up with no place to vent.

"There, there! Don’t cry, let’s go," Yang Chen softly comforted, gently patting Li Wanwan’s back.

Li Wanwan emerged from Yang Chen’s arms, blushing, and said with her head down, "I’m sorry...I..."

The young girl had never been in such close proximity to a man, let alone one as strikingly masculine as Yang Chen, and her face was flushed to the roots of her ears.

Yang Chen chuckled, understanding the girl’s current emotions, "Alright, don’t overthink it, let’s go."

"Mm!" Li Wanwan continued to blush, keeping her head lowered, not daring to look at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen glanced at Gao Hong and Sun Yue, who immediately followed suit.

The four of them got into the car, but instead of heading straight back to the village, they went to the county town.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Gao Hong asked, puzzled.

Yang Chen looked at the shops on both sides of the street and said, "Buy a set of silver needles and grab some medicinal herbs to treat Auntie’s illness."

"Huh?" Li Wanwan exclaimed, her eyes widening at Yang Chen’s words, staring at the back of Yang Chen’s head, "Are you going to treat my mom?"

For all these years, they had sought out doctors everywhere, but had not cured her mother’s illness, and nearly lost hope. Wang Guilan herself was in a state of waiting for death, lacking the courage to commit suicide, feeling she was a burden to her children.

Yang Chen replied, "Yes, I can cure your mom’s illness!"
