70 Treatment

The black car blended into the night and stopped in front of the abandoned factory.

Tang Zhe was already waiting outside the factory with a mask on. When he saw them, he raised his hand and pulled open the iron door. “Master is inside.”

Sean looked at Shi Man worriedly and stood by the car with his gun, ready to fight at any time. “Boss, I’ll be outside. Call me if anything happens.”

“Don’t worry.” Shi Man curled her lips into a cold smile. Even the mask couldn’t hide her cold gaze. “If anything happens, you can kill this little brother at the door.”

The girl’s voice sounded delicate in his ear, but Tang Zhe still subconsciously shivered.

Who would have thought that the ignorant girl, who always chased after his master during the day, would be so terrifying after putting on a mask?

“Please come in.” Tang Zhe did not dare to say anything. He bent down slightly and invited Shi Man in respectfully before closing the iron door.

In the factory, Yi Zheng heard the girl’s light footsteps and opened his eyes lazily. His voice was actually muddy and tired. “You didn’t bring anything. How do you plan to detoxify me?”

“Who said I didn’t bring anything?” Shi Man sat on the chair opposite and spread the cloth bag containing the silver needles on the only table. “Take it off.”

Yi Zheng’s lazy eyes turned cold. He frowned and asked suspiciously, “What did you say just now?”

“Acupuncture. You’ve never done it before, but you should have seen it, right? How can I do acupuncture if you don’t take off your clothes?”

Shi Man leaned back in her chair and sized him up. “Don’t worry, in the eyes of a doctor, patients are not differentiated as men or women.”

Yi Zheng was originally just a little shy, but after hearing her words, his face immediately turned red. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask so that she wouldn’t laugh at him.

Since he had to take it off, there was no need for him to be coy. He unbuttoned his shirt quickly, revealing his bare tanned chest.

As Shi Man had said, there was no difference between men and women in her eyes.

No matter how good his figure was, she couldn’t be bothered to look at him. After he removed his clothes, she raised her hand and began to perform acupuncture. Every needle hit the acupuncture point without any hesitation.

“Done.” Shi Man looked at the man who had been fixed up like a hedgehog in satisfaction. After waiting for half an hour, she raised her hand to retract the needles.

“That’s it?” Yi Zheng put on his clothes skeptically. During the acupuncture process just now, his chest only felt a little cold and he did not feel much.

However, it was not until she put away the needle that the hot flame in his body suddenly charged up like a scorching fire dragon that had just woken up. The heat swallowed him up, making his internal organs feel uncomfortable.

“It will hurt for half an hour, the time and frequency of your relapse will improve in the future. Tomorrow, my subordinate will come here to send you the medicine that has been brewed. Drink it every morning and night. When you have finished the medicine, we will supply it on time as agreed. I’ll get Sean to concoct the medicine again.”

When Shi Man stood up and was about to leave, she did not look at the man lying on the table behind her.

“Wait.” Yi Zheng endured the pain and closed his eyes. He forced himself to straighten his body and said, “How long will it take to treat my illness?”

“My medicine can relieve your relapse, but it will take a long time to treat you. I can’t tell how long it will take. It depends on your recovery. I’ll ask Sean to inform you in advance if I need to give you acupuncture next time.”

Shi Man did not want to talk to him anymore. After saying something ambiguous, she pushed open the metal door and returned to the car.

Behind him, Yi Zheng wanted to stop her, but the pain made him unable to say a word. He could only clench his fists and let the bean-sized sweat on his forehead flow into his eyes.

“Boss, why do I feel that you don’t look good?” Sean drove and looked at the girl who had taken off her mask in the backseat of the car through the rearview mirror.

“Nothing.” Shi Man looked at the retreating scenery outside the window expressionlessly.

The silver needles she used to treat Yi Zheng were not poison. They only made his symptoms worse when they acted up. The heat poison would heal slower and would not cause any other damage to his body.

From Yi Zheng’s point of view, he might even feel that his poison had really been relieved. Other than Shi Man, no one could figure out that she had done something to it.

For the sake of the Shi family, she had to leave a backup plan. Even if she had already rewritten a lot of the plot in the book, it was still difficult to guarantee that the future plot development would not converge to the same ending. She had to make plans early.

As long as Yi Zheng became more and more dependent on her treatment methods because of the heat poison, he would not touch her easily. At the critical moment, her identity as the Immaculate Boss might be able to save the Shi family.

Moreover, there was an enemy hiding in the dark.

It was already halfway through the night. Shi Man returned to her room nimbly. After carefully checking that there were no more suspicious cameras around the manor, she changed her clothes and prepared to sleep.

After a busy day, Shi Man finally had time to rest. Feeling her physical fatigue, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

In the past, when she was carrying out missions all night, she had never felt tired. She did not expect her body to become delicate after coming to this world for a period of time.
