Seeing Li Huowang's actions, Yang Na took a step back in panic. "What are you doing? The nurses can hear us when we talk here."

As soon as she finished speaking, laughter could be heard from the speaker at the head of the bed. "Hoho, it's okay, we can't hear anything. Little Brother Li, do your best!"

"Sisters, can you please stop gossiping? Focus on the intensive care unit."

After shouting towards the speaker, Li Huowang pulled Yang Na to another corner of the room.

He took out the jade pendant from his pocket and placed it in her hand, then leaned close to her ear and whispered. Yang Na's eyes widened as he spoke.

"This can't be, this..." Before she could finish her sentence, Li Huowang covered her mouth with his hand.

Their eyes met, and Li Huowang looked at Yang Na with intense longing.

"Help me, everything I said is true. Even my own parents don't trust me, they think I'm crazy. You're the only person I can trust in the whole world. I'm not crazy!"

After watching Li Huowang for a few seconds, Yang Na finally nodded, her eyes becoming teary. As she left, she kept looking back, seemingly very worried about Li Huowang's mental state.

Li Huowang watched her retreating figure with complex emotions. He no longer cared about what others thought of him, but Yang Na was different.

"Na Na, trust me this once, just once!"

The waiting time was always long, and Li Huowang paced anxiously in the room.

During this time, he experienced another hallucination, but Li Huowang quickly snapped out of it. According to the doctor, this was not good, but he was afraid of missing Yang Na.

One day, two days, three days passed. The time passed day by day, and Li Huowang became more and more anxious.

"Little Li, your girlfriend is here to see you~" Upon hearing the nurse's announcement, Li Huowang leaped out of bed like a fish and rushed towards the hospital door.

In the garden of the hospital, Li Huowang met Yang Na. They embraced each other excitedly.

Yang Na suppressed her voice and shouted in his ear, "Huowang, it's true! The jade pendant is real!"

"I'm not sick!! Hahaha!! I'm not sick!" Li Huowang excitedly twirled the girl around in the air.

After their excitement died down, they finally calmed themselves.

"I asked for your help, did it affect your life and studies?" Li Huowang asked while caring for Yang Na, who was sitting next to the flower bed.

Instead of answering directly, Yang Na changed the subject and extended her delicate fingers towards Li Huowang. "Do you know? How much is this jade pendant worth? This number!"

"Four...thousand?"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Four hundred thousand! And I think they definitely undervalued it. If we ask a few more appraisers, the price will definitely be higher."

"Four hundred thousand...four hundred thousand..." Li Huowang laughed foolishly. This could not only cover his medical expenses over the years but also leave some left. More importantly, it was just the beginning.

"Yang Na, are you ready to become a rich lady?"

Li Huowang's teasing made Yang Na blush slightly. "Stop talking nonsense. This whole thing is too strange. Are you sure it won't harm your health?"

"It's fine, what could possibly happen to me? Okay, if that's the case, I might have to delay my treatment for a while. This is a treasure, I can't be cured so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Yang Na's expression became tense. She worriedly said to Li Huowang, "Huowang, that's different. I don't want the money. Your treatment must not stop, and you can't stop taking your medication. Promise me, or I won't help you anymore."

Li Huowang thought of many reasons to argue with her in his mind, but looking at her concerned and worried gaze, a warm feeling surged in his heart. "Okay, I promise you."

Yang Na smiled and gently patted his head. "That's good, little brother."

Just as they were discussing how to turn the jade pendant into cash, several middle-aged men with strong builds walked hastily past them, holding riot forks.

"What happened to Master Zhao? Is something wrong?" Li Huowang asked one of the familiar faces in confusion.

"Don't ask too much. Little Li, go back to the ward quickly. Also, you encountered Old Liu. Remember to report it immediately. That guy must have secretly spit out his medicine again." The person hurriedly said before turning and rushing towards the stairs.

"Isn't the intensive care area fenced with two layers of iron bars? How could Old Liu, with his small build, escape?" Li Huowang wondered as he looked in that direction.

He had stayed there for a while when he couldn't distinguish between reality and hallucination, and it was not a good memory.

Seeing the other patients being taken back to the ward by the nurses, Li Huowang turned to Yang Na and said, "It's a bit chaotic here. You should go back. Call the hospital tonight, and we'll contact each other through the phone."

"Okay, you take care here. And remember the promise you made earlier." After saying that, Yang Na turned and walked towards the hospital gate, her handkerchief stained with tears.

"Four hundred thousand..." Li Huowang sighed. Now that the jade pendant was really worth that much money, he started to have many new thoughts.

Hallucinations or reality, it didn't matter anymore. If the thing over there was worth so much money, why does it matter if it's a hallucination or reality?

Just as Li Huowang took a few steps, a familiar scream came from behind him. He turned around and saw a bald, skinny old man tackling Yang Na to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Huowang's blood boiled, and he gritted his teeth with a fierce expression. He charged towards them. "Old Liu! That's my girlfriend, let her go!"

"Woo-woo-woo~" A gust of wind suddenly howled, and a hexagonal brick flew through the air, hitting Li Huowang's head with a thud.

Everything spun, and Li Huowang fell heavily to the ground, his vision gradually turning red. His head was split open.

In his red-tinted vision, Li Huowang saw a pair of swollen feet bound by patient gowns walking past him, heading towards the struggling and screaming Yang Na.

Listening to the heavy footsteps moving closer to Yang Na, a buzzing sound filled Li Huowang's mind, leaving only one thought: he couldn't let them harm Yang Na!!

Trembling, he took out a pill given by the master from his pocket, mixed it with his own blood, and stuffed it into his mouth.

In an instant, an extremely hot and warm current surged from his stomach, spreading through Li Huowang's limbs. He instantly felt full of strength, and his hazy mind became clear.

"Crack!" He threw a punch, fiercely landing it on the fat man's chin. Within moments, yellow teeth were loosened and flew out. Soon, only a few remained.

Covered in blood, Li Huowang paid no attention to the fat man lying on the ground unable to get up. He stepped heavily on the skinny chest of Old Liu, who was spitting blood.

"Crack, crack." The sound of bones breaking resounded, and Old Liu, who was spitting blood, flew away like a noodle, his body limp.

Watching Yang Na on the ground, her torn sweater and teary eyes, Li Huowang clenched his teeth, his gum bleeding.

His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the two people lying on the ground beside him. With one foot, he stomped heavily on the cement floor and pounced on them like a cheetah.

"Huowang!! Stop!! What are you doing?!"
