Seeing the paralyzed Lin Fei actually walking out of the house, the mother and daughter of the Yang Family froze in astonishment.
"You... you..."
Yang Qiulian glared with wide eyes, pointing at Lin Fei and unable to speak for a long time.
"Look, my Second Uncle can get off the kang, and his eyes are better! Hmph, you still didn't believe it! I wasn't lying at all!"
Seeing his Second Uncle come out, Bao'er akimboed with her small hands, tilted her neck, and said to Ma Guiqin and her daughter.
"You, you bastard, who are you calling a dog?! Even if you've recovered, you're still a penniless beggar now, and you're not good enough for our Qiulian!"
After snapping out of her shock, Ma Guiqin continued to point at Lin Fei and curse loudly.
Swish! Swish!
Ignoring Ma Guiqin, Lin Fei walked expressionlessly straight up to the dining table and signed the engagement cancellation contract.
"Get lost, and don't ever come back here again, dammit!"
Tossing the signed contract casually toward Yang Qiulian, Lin Fei turned and went back inside the house, not sparing Yang Qiulian a single glance the entire time.
Yang Qiulian rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was hallucinating.
"Hmph! What's with the attitude? Does this lady care to come to your broken courtyard? Qiulian, let's go!" Ma Guiqin quickly picked up the contract with a curse, then grabbed her daughter and left.
"Hmph, they got off too easy! Shameless!"
Watching the backs of the Yang Family mother and daughter disappear outside the courtyard, Mo Xinlan cursed angrily.
"Sister-in-law, people like that aren't worth getting angry over. Don't worry, in less than three days, whatever trouble hits their family definitely won't be settled with two hundred and eighty thousand."
Lin Fei came out of the house and said with a twitch of his lips.
Just now, while lying on the kang, he had cast a divination for this shameless mother and daughter. The upper trigram was Gen (Mountain) and the lower trigram was Kun (Earth), forming the Mountain-Earth Splitting Hexagram. This hexagram represented a mountain resting on the earth, an image of yin flourishing while yang declined, which signifies disaster and an uncontrollable mess. Furthermore, the fourth line reading stated: "Splitting the bed down to the skin; misfortune." The head of the household would suffer a severe illness, which would manifest within three days.
The text of this hexagram line meant that Yang Qiulian's father would be diagnosed with a major illness within three days.
"What? Trouble is coming to their family? How do you know?" Mo Xinlan asked in great surprise.
"Uh, I used to read a lot of books on divination, so I know a little bit," Lin Fei replied casually.
"Really? If it's true, then that really is the wicked getting their just deserts! Wait, no! Didn't you lose your memory? How do you still remember the books you read before?"
Mo Xinlan's sudden question almost caused Lin Fei's feigned amnesia to fall apart.
To keep it from Liu Jinshan, even his sister-in-law didn't know that Lin Fei was faking his amnesia.
"Ah, I don't know either. Some things I remember, and some things I don't. This seems to be what they call intermittent amnesia in medicine," Lin Fei quickly put on a professional facade to cover it up.
Mo Xinlan knew nothing about medicine and, without thinking too much about it, believed him.
"Right, Xiaofei, since you suddenly got better like this, shouldn't you go to the hospital for a proper checkup? Just in case..." Mo Xinlan changed the subject and asked.
"No need, I really am completely better. But I do indeed need to take a trip to the hospital," Lin Fei replied.
He was an intern doctor at the town hospital, and now that his health was restored, he wanted to continue his internship.
In the future, medicine would still be his primary profession; he needed to get his physician qualification certificate sooner or later.
As for divination, Lin Fei felt that skill wasn't quite suited to be a main career, especially since such metaphysical fields weren't fully accepted by society just yet.
Lin Fei wanted revenge, but he also needed to live.
The heavens had given him a chance at rebirth, and he certainly wasn't going to drag that old dog Liu Jinshan down with him in mutual destruction.
Seeking revenge while ensuring his own safety and the happiness of his sister-in-law and Bao'er—that was the best outcome.
In fact, he had already cast a divination regarding his revenge against Liu Jinshan, but the hexagram was currently unclear; after all, his present cultivation level could only accurately forecast events within three days.
Still, the hexagram provided a general reference: the matter of revenge should not be rushed for quick success.
Therefore, Lin Fei felt that in order to fool Liu Jinshan, he needed to keep up the act of having intermittent amnesia.
After bidding farewell to his sister-in-law, Lin Fei hopped on his tricycled motorcycle and headed for the town hospital.
...
General Manager's Office of Jinshan Construction Company in Longwang Town.
"What? Lin Fei is better?! Did your damn self drink too much and start hallucinating?"
Hearing Liu Er recount the events of the previous night, Liu Jinshan's eyes widened in shock.
"Brother Shan, it definitely wasn't a hallucination! Look at my face, beaten up by that bastard! Hiss! It still burns!" Liu Er said, pointing to his face, which was swollen like a pig's head.
"Damn it! There's such a strange thing? High paraplegia can just heal itself? And his eyes got better too? Then... then is his amnesia cured?"
Liu Jinshan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"A-amnesia? I couldn't tell. It was pitch black last night, and that kid was acting like a madman. If I hadn't run fast, I would've been beaten to death by him," Liu Er said, covering his face and shaking his head.
"The little bastard has rebelled, daring to beat even my men! This afternoon, take a few guys over and check if his amnesia is gone, but don't make too big of a commotion. Give me a call when you're done."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Liu Jinshan gave his orders.
"Got it, got it, Brother Shan. Don't worry, I'll definitely get this done!" Liu Er quickly and happily agreed.
Having been severely beaten by Lin Fei yesterday, he naturally couldn't swallow this bitter pill.
Now, Liu Jinshan was clearly sending him to teach Lin Fei a lesson and vent his anger.
Just as Lin Fei was about to turn into the hospital gates, a BMW M760 suddenly rushed out, and Lin Fei didn't have time to dodge, getting knocked over with his tricycle upside down.
Fortunately, he was now nimble and physically strong, so he didn't suffer any injuries.
"How do you ride that thing?! Are you blind?!"
Just as Lin Fei crawled up from the ground, the BMW driver poked half his head out of the car window and cursed angrily at him.
"You're the one who hit me! You're the blind one, dammit!"
A surge of anger flared up instantly in Lin Fei, and he fired back without the slightest politeness.
"Oh? You poor country bumpkin, and you've got quite a temper!"
The driver was a flat-topped man in his thirties. Cursing, he got out of the car, checked the damaged front headlight, and suddenly glared at Lin Fei, yelling: "Don't you know what kind of car this is? A BMW 760! Millions! Pay for it! Even if you go sell a kidney, you won't be able to afford it!"
"Ridiculous! Why should I pay? You hit me, and my tricycle is broken too. You're the one who should pay!" Lin Fei rolled his eyes and retorted, waving his arm.
"Damn it, I think you're trying to pull a scam! Believe it or not, I'm calling the police!" The driver rolled up his sleeves, took out his phone, and made a move to call the police.
Screech!
At that moment, the rear window glass of the BMW rolled down, revealing a delicate and exquisitely beautiful face.
It was a girl in her early twenties with skin like lard, a face like peach blossoms, and radiant, shifting eyes. Every subtle expression on her face was captivating.
Seeing this peerless beauty capable of mesmerizing all living beings, Lin Fei couldn't help but stare blankly for a second or two.
However, right after marveling at the beauty's appearance, Lin Fei's eyelids twitched slightly.
Because he saw a very thick, grayish aura of illness hovering above her head!
Lin Fei was certain that this beautiful girl must be suffering from a severe brain disease, most likely a malignant brain tumor.
