Urban Ace Bodyguard

"Sigh, she has a bit of a weak constitution. It looks like I need to find a way to unblock some of her obstructed meridians to improve her constitution." Lin Hai shook his head, his fingers again quickly tapping on her body, including a few extremely sensitive areas. But at this point, Ouyang Xiaoya was unconscious, having no clue about what Lin Hai was doing. If she knew, she would definitely go crazy trying to kill Lin Hai.

Half an hour later, Ouyang Xiaoya let out a faint grunt and slowly opened her eyelids.

Looking around, Ouyang Xiaoya found herself lying in her own room, with her clothes very tidy, and the severe pain in her abdomen miraculously gone.

Not only that, but Ouyang Xiaoya felt that her physical condition was extraordinarily good, not at all like she had taken a big pack of laxatives.

"Hehe, wife, how do you feel?" Lin Hai, holding a cup of hot water, pushed the door open and walked in, asking with a brilliant smile.

"Hmph, scumbag." Ouyang Xiaoya turned her head away, refusing to look at Lin Hai.

"Hehe, wife, come on, have some hot water. Let me tell you, there are really not many in Huaxia who can match up to my medical skills. Countless people would spend fortunes to have me lend a hand, you really scored a huge bargain." Lin Hai brought the hot water to her.

"Just you?" Ouyang Xiaoya looked disbelieving and disdainful.

"Wife, be obedient, drink this water if you don't want any after-effects." Lin Hai said.

Ouyang Xiaoya frowned, and finally, feeling her throat was dry and parched, she reluctantly took the cup, warily glancing at Lin Hai.

"Don't worry, there's no laxative in it." Lin Hai said, speechless.

After drinking a few sips of water, Ouyang Xiaoya felt much better and had recovered some strength. She sat up, staring at Lin Hai with resentment and a trace of pettiness in her eyes.

Lin Hai maintained the appearance of a nice guy, saying nothing. At this time, he probably knew Ouyang Xiaoya's thoughts—definitely a mix of anger, hatred, and curiosity towards him.

Sure enough, Ouyang Xiaoya spoke again, "I will remember this incident."

A very calm statement, but it reflected that Ouyang Xiaoya's heart was anything but calm at the moment, even hating Lin Hai enough to want to kill him directly.

This guy was too bad, just too appalling.

"Cough cough, wife, it seems you were the one who wanted to drug me first. I was acting in self-defense, completely innocent." Lin Hai said with an innocent look.

"I don't care, you have to pay the right price for this." Ouyang Xiaoya said resentfully, still not forgetting the earlier grudge.

That's how women are, no matter what they've done wrong, if they end up getting hurt, they automatically disregard their own actions and blame the man.

It's a woman's nature, and Ouyang Xiaoya was no exception, especially after suffering the extremely painful diarrhea, her hatred for Lin Hai was bone-deep.

"Anyway, I cured you, wife, don't be relentless now." Lin Hai argued.

"Hmph, you quack! I'm lucky I have good healing abilities, otherwise I might have been done for today. Lin Hai, do you realize because of you, I almost lost my life? My personal safety is at risk, and you still dare to say you'll protect me. I'd be lucky if you don't kill me. You better leave." Ouyang Xiaoya laid the groundwork for a while, but her last sentence was her true thoughts.

She was also quite curious about how Lin Hai had managed to cure her in such a short time. After taking a large dose of laxatives, not only would IV fluids be needed to replenish the body's water, but also a gastric lavage, and then it would take a long and slow recovery of several days to barely get better. But Lin Hai had managed to revive her in less than half an hour, and now that she thought about it, her body seemed to feel even better than before.

Of course, she would never say these words to Lin Hai.

"Ai, a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing a good heart. It was you who wanted to harm me, but you ended up outsmarting yourself. I kindly saved you, helped you regulate your blood circulation, and cured your hidden ailment. You don't thank me but instead slander me, hellbent on driving me away. Ask yourself, President Ouyang, is what you're doing really right?" Lin Hai sneered, sometimes excessive forbearance only makes a woman think you're weak, especially when dealing with a domineering woman who is both successful in her career and beautiful; one must not easily step back at key moments.

Moreover, what Lin Hai said was true. Ouyang Xiaoya did have a minor hidden ailment – it wasn't exactly an illness, but it was very troublesome when it recurred.

"Hidden ailment?" Ouyang Xiaoya's beautiful eyes flickered. Could it be that this unremarkable loser really knew how to treat illnesses? T#his@ t^ex^t% was ac^q^uired f.ro^m M|#V|%L0EM^PYR..

"Then tell me, what hidden ailment do I have?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked, not convinced.

Lin Hai touched his head awkwardly and said, "Do you feel pain in your lower abdomen, weakness throughout your body, and occasionally feel dizzy during that time of the month?"

"How do you know?"

The moment these words were out, Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes widened in disbelief. This guy had completely pinpointed her minor issues.

"Cough cough, actually, this is because you have a cold constitution. Just now when I took your pulse, it showed signs of coldness, indicating that you must have grown up in the north when you were a child, and you didn't pay much attention to maintenance before. Your constitution is weak from cold, hence the menstrual irregularities. Coupled with your deficient vital energy and blood, it's natural to experience abdominal pain, dizziness, and fatigue during your monthly cycle."

Lin Hai lit up a cigarette, once again adopting an unfathomable demeanor, and loudly continued, "If not treated, it will have a significant impact on you, such as infertility, or accelerate skin aging accompanied by dark spots, and so forth."

"But, you don't have to worry now. You're basically cured."

After listening to Lin Hai's words, which sounded quite authoritative, she asked half-believingly, "Tell me, where did you learn this medical skill from?"

Women are indeed creatures of curiosity. Lin Hai chuckled inwardly, having easily shifted the tense situation a moment ago.

"Cough cough, back when I was serving in the military, I went on a mission to take down a drug trafficking gang and accidentally saved an old man. At first, I didn't pay much attention, just an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but he was very healthy. Later, out of gratitude for saving his life, the old man taught me all his medical skills, which he claimed were passed down from his ancestors. That's how it happened."

Lin Hai gave an explanation that was half-true, half-fabricated.

After listening to Lin Hai's words and noticing his reflective demeanor, Ouyang Xiaoya began to somewhat believe what he said.

"Not bad, you're not entirely useless, huh?" Ouyang Xiaoya said sarcastically.

Lin Hai, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm, smiled proudly and said, "Of course, I'm much stronger than those playboys, wealthy second generations, rich young masters, overseas-educated intellectuals, and such. It's just that I'm low-key and don't like to show off."

"Tsch." Ouyang Xiaoya said disdainfully.

It was about time. She checked her watch; she disliked others being late and wouldn't allow herself to be late during work hours. After looking down on Lin Hai, she drove her Maybach out of the villa at breakneck speed.

Following the car, Lin Hai hastily ran out of the villa, waving his hands and shouting, "Hey, wife, don't leave me behind. I only have 1 yuan for bus fare. I spent the rest on cigarettes yesterday..."

As the exhaust fumes and dust dissipated, Lin Hai's eyes widened, and he realized—there seemed to be no taxis in this villa complex neighborhood... He was absolutely going to be late for work again.
