Ling Zhenfei merely flicked his two fingers slightly on the dagger, yet Zhou Tong felt as if a massive hammer had smashed onto his hand, the force surprisingly strong. His hand couldn't hold the dagger, which directly dropped to the ground.

"Ouch, my hand, kid you have Sorcery!"

"Sorcery my ass!" Ling Zhenfei kicked Zhou Tong away, who landed right next to the woman, scaring her who had just stood up to press herself tightly against the wall.

Ling Zhenfei walked up to Zhou Tong, grabbed him, and pinned him against the wall, rendering Zhou Tong immobile.

"Speak, why did you do such a thing to this lady?"

"Of course, because this woman is beautiful. If she wasn't, even if you offered her to me, I wouldn't be interested," the man said, although being pinned against the wall, he didn't sound like someone who had just been caught.

"Are you saying, then, that this lady should thank you?"

"Forget thanks, just let me go, and we can call this whole thing off, otherwise, buddy, you're in for trouble."

"Smack, smack!"

"Get the hell out of here, or do you believe I'll cripple your hand right now?"

Ling Zhenfei slammed the guy's hand against the wall, saying furiously.

"Go ahead, if I frown, consider that I've lost," the guy taunted.

Ling Zhenfei picked up the guy's dagger from the ground, and without hesitation, he stabbed it into Zhou Tong's hand. The blade, driven by Inner Strength, pierced through the back of Zhou Tong's hand and embedded itself into the wall.

Zhou Tong, who had been arrogant just moments ago, believing that Ling Zhenfei wouldn't really harm him, lost all his arrogance after the stabbing and started to scream dramatically.

Ling Zhenfei, not wanting to hear his screams, kicked Zhou Tong on the head, knocking him out cold.

"Miss, you can go now, the bad guy is knocked out."

Looking at the woman shivering in the corner, Ling Zhenfei called out to her, the woman looked at the man on the ground, then at Ling Zhenfei, and seemingly finding a protector, hurriedly walked up to Ling Zhenfei's side, embracing his arm with both hands, apparently terrified.

"Thank you for saving me, it's too dark here, could you walk me out?" she said softly, her voice gentle as water, making it hard for anyone to refuse.

Ling Zhenfei walked with the woman towards the entrance of the small alley, her grip on his arm tightening because of fear.

Once out of the small alley, there was faint moonlight and dim streetlight, which, compared to the alley, was bright enough to see each other's faces.

"It's you, how is it you?"

When the woman saw Ling Zhenfei, she exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei also clearly saw the woman's face and, unexpectedly, this woman was the beautiful young matron, Liu Bingying.

He had felt a familiar sensation earlier but had not realized it was Liu Bingying.

"Benefactor, I truly thank you, you saved me once again, and I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Liu Bingying was extremely moved; this was already the third time she had met Ling Zhenfei, and each encounter made her heart race uncontrollably.

The first time was at her daughter's kindergarten, where Ling Zhenfei eliminated the robbers and saved his daughter. The second time was in the hospital, where Ling Zhenfei used Silver Needle to treat and save people. At that time, nobody in the hospital believed him, but Ling Zhenfei miraculously cured the patients like an Immortal.

This time, in such an awkward place, Ling Zhenfei saved her and spared her from the torment of the bad guys. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

"Dr. Liu, I really didn't expect to meet you here. What happened just now?"

Ling Zhenfei was still curious about what had just transpired; he was very curious about who the other person was.

"It was like this, my Xiao Ke had a fever, so I hurried out to buy fever medicine. But I didn't expect that just as I stepped out here, that man suddenly appeared and stopped me, claiming he wanted to date me. Of course, I disagreed, and unexpectedly, he suddenly grabbed me and dragged me into the nearby alley. I really didn't expect you to show up just in time. Thank you so much."

So that was it, Liu Bingying didn't know the man.

"Xiao Ke has a fever; you should rush to the hospital."

Liu Bingying sighed helplessly and said, "I don't know what's wrong with my daughter, it's been several days now. She keeps getting fevers, and not long after one breaks, it starts up again, repeating over and over. The hospital hasn't been able to cure her. I really don't know what to do."

As she spoke, Liu Bingying started crying. It was clear she was extremely worried about her daughter but had no idea what to do.

For some reason, seeing Liu Bingying cry made Ling Zhenfei's heart suddenly ache. Seeing such a beautiful woman crying in front of him would make anyone feel sympathetic.

"I actually have a way to treat recurring fevers. I will visit Xiao Ke tomorrow."

Liu Bingying glanced at Ling Zhenfei and suddenly remembered something, saying, "Why wait until tomorrow? Could you please visit Xiao Ke today? Her fever is really severe."

"But, it's already so late. I'm afraid it's not convenient."

Ling Zhenfei spoke the truth; it was very late, and visiting a woman's home at such an hour could be improper.

"It's not inconvenient at all. Besides me, the only other person at home is Xiao Ke; there's no one else."

"Isn't Big Brother at home?"

"I've been divorced for several years now. Mr. Ling, please don't decline anymore. I thank you right here."

Ling Zhenfei truly hadn't expected Liu Bingying to be divorced. Such a beautiful woman and divorced; it really seemed a pity.

With no other option, Ling Zhenfei followed Liu Bingying back to her home.

Liu Bingying's home was decorated very warmly. Although Liu Bingying seemed somewhat cold, her heart was very warm. This was evident from the home's décor.

Xiao Ke lay in bed, covered with a blanket, yet still shivering from cold, and her consciousness was already becoming unclear. Although it was only a fever, it was undeniable that Xiao Ke's condition was very dangerous.

Ling Zhenfei asked Liu Bingying to turn Xiao Ke over in bed, and then he started administering needles on Xiao Ke's back. He inserted thirteen needles before stopping.

"Xiao Ke, did you play with water during the day?"

After removing the needles, Ling Zhenfei questioned Liu Bingying, who wore a face full of worry. Her beautiful, flawless face bore no trace of a smile, and anyone seeing her tortured expression would find it hard to blame Liu Bingying. But Ling Zhenfei was different; he would say what needed to be said.

"She seemed much better during the day, so I took her down to play. She played for a while at the fountain downstairs. Perhaps that's when she got wet."
