Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 209: The Girlʼs Anger

Although Ye Fei said he wasnʼt sure, Miao Xin couldnʼt help but be amazed. She knew Li Yunʼs situation well.

Not to mention her, even Dongfang Ruolan was at a loss before developing the Tendon-Connecting and Pulse-Continuing pills.

Now Ye Fei said he could give it a try.

How could this not surprise her? As for whether Ye Fei was lying, she never thought about it. It wasnʼt because she knew Ye Fei well, but because she had lived in the military camp since childhood and had little contact with the outside world.

The soldiers here were all very honest, and Dongfang Ruolan, who was devoted to academic research, hadnʼt specifically taught her about the wickedness of human nature. So in her perception, a person simply wouldnʼt lie about important matters.

When the three of them arrived at the ward, Li Yun was still asleep. Zhang Qiang originally wanted to wake him up, but Ye Fei stopped him.

Ye Fei wasnʼt absolutely confident in his Recovery Pills.

After hearing that Dongfang Ruolan was developing the Tongjin Xumai Dan, he didnʼt want Li Yun to use the device. So he couldnʼt bear to disturb him and wanted him to rest a little longer.

Looking at Li Yunʼs once - strong body, which had now become somewhat emaciated, Ye Fei felt a pang of self - reproach again. He secretly decided that he must repay Li Yun well if he had the chance in the future.

However, he also knew that Li Yun, who had dedicated himself to the special forces, might not need his repayment.

So he could only decide to take good care of Li Yunʼs family. After all, Li Yun had been busy with work and didnʼt have much time to accompany his family, and the income from this profession wasnʼt very high.

”Uncle Li, are you awake?” It was almost noon when Li Yun, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes.

Ye Fei, who was sitting by his bedside, was the first to notice and quickly greeted him.

Seeing Ye Fei, a smile appeared on Li Yunʼs face.

”Ye Fei, youʼre here. Youʼre really something! Lao Zhang and the others told me about what you did yesterday.”

At this point, Li Yunʼs expression became solemn. ”Thank you. If it werenʼt for you and the captain, we might have been completely wiped out.”

Ye Fei was deeply touched.

What a great soldier he was!

Li Yun had helped him without taking any credit. Instead, he was thanking Ye Fei for saving his comrades. How could such a bond between comrades not be moving?

”Uncle Li, donʼt say that. Iʼm also a member of the operation team. Those were just my duties. If anyone should say thank you, it should be me.” Moved, Ye Fei sincerely said.

Li Yun was about to say something else, but Zhang Qiang interrupted him. ”Come on, you two. Donʼt be so sentimental. Li, you saved Ye Fei out of comradeship, and Ye Fei helped us eliminate the enemies for the same reason. Whatʼs the point of thanking each other like this?”

Ye Fei and Li Yun both smiled awkwardly. Zhang Qiang was right. They were indeed being a bit too sentimental. But it couldnʼt be helped.

After all, this was Ye Feiʼs first time participating in such an operation and being protected by a comrade.

So it was inevitable that he felt a bit emotional.

And Li Yun was also aware of this and was afraid that Ye Fei would have some burdens in his heart, which was why he acted a bit out of character.

Ye Fei reached into his pocket and actually took out a small glass bottle from his space. There were about a dozen or twenty Recovery Pills in it.

”Uncle Li, this is something I got by accident. It can restore most of the bodyʼs functions. Iʼm not sure if it will work on your injury. Try taking one.”

Seeing the small round pills in the bottle in Ye Feiʼs hand, Miao Xinʼs eyes suddenly lit up. She knew this must be the source of Ye Feiʼs confidence earlier. She quickly poured a glass of water, took the bottle from Ye Fei, poured out a pill, and helped Li Yun take it.

In less than a minute, Li Yunʼs originally pale face regained its rosy color, and the somewhat emaciated muscles on his arm exposed outside the quilt were visibly recovering. In a very short time, they returned to their peak state.

The remarkable change made Zhang Qiang and Miao Xin gape in astonishment. As Li Yun couldnʼt feel his own body, he wasnʼt as shocked as them.

However, judging from the expressions of his long - time comrades, he could tell that there must have been a significant improvement in his condition, so he couldnʼt help but feel extremely delighted.

Only Ye Fei, who had anticipated this outcome, remained calm. Looking at Li Yun, he asked, ”Uncle Li, try to see if you can exert any strength now.”

Li Yun did as he was told and then said with a bitter smile, ”No, itʼs still the same as before. I canʼt control my body, and I canʼt even feel anything.”

Ye Fei frowned. It was evident from Li Yunʼs physical change that the Recovery Pill had taken effect.

But why couldnʼt it enable Li Yun to regain control of his body?

Could it be that he needed to take more?

After all, one pill could only restore about ten percent of the bodyʼs functions. So he said, ”How about taking a few more and having another try?”

”Not so fast,” Miao Xin had recovered from her initial shock by now. As if she had thought of something, she asked Ye Fei, ”Could you tell me the specific effects of this pill?”

”Sure,” Ye Fei nodded and explained the functions of the Recovery Pill as he knew them.

After listening to Ye Fei, Li Yun and the other two were once again amazed.

They never expected such a tiny pill to have such powerful effects. In particular, Miao Xin had initially intended to ask Ye Fei for a few pills for research.

However, after learning about the specific effects of the Recovery Pill, she abandoned the idea.

Although she was not very well - versed in the ways of the world, it was only because she had little contact with outsiders.

In fact, she was very intelligent and knowledgeable. She naturally understood what this pill meant to the special forces soldiers who often faced life - and - death situations. It could be a lifesaver at a critical moment.

She didnʼt want to waste such a valuable thing. Although it was possible to produce it if the pharmacological principles were studied, it was easier said than done. Even her teacher had made little progress in developing the Tendon-Connecting and Pulse-Continuing pills for so long, let alone this incredibly powerful pill.

Li Yun sighed and said, ”Such a precious thing should be saved for later. Donʼt waste it on me.”

”Whatʼs there to waste? As long as you can recover, Uncle Li, a few pills are nothing,” Ye Fei quickly replied.

”Moreover, I have plenty of them. You can use them without worry.”

With that, Ye Fei took out several small bottles filled with pills from his space.

However, he didnʼt mention that he could produce these pills at any time. It wasnʼt that he didnʼt trust the three of them, but the fewer people who knew about this trump card, the better.

Otherwise, if someone accidentally let it slip, it would cause a small hassle.

”Even if there are more, they might not be useful for Uncle Li,” Miao Xin suddenly dampened Ye Feiʼs spirits.

”This pill can restore various bodily losses and repair unhealed wounds, but itʼs of no use to Uncle Li because his severed nerves have already healed on their own, and the pill canʼt reconnect them.”

Ye Fei was taken aback and asked, ”So, does that mean this thing would have been useful if it was right after the injury, but itʼs useless now?”

Miao Xin sighed and said, ”Yes. Actually, itʼs partly our fault. Uncle Liʼs wound shouldnʼt have healed so quickly, but we gave him a medicine newly developed by my godmother that can speed up wound - healing. We just wanted to relieve his pain, but unexpectedly, we ended up doing more harm than good.”

Ye Fei and the other two couldnʼt help but smile wryly. However, they also understood that they couldnʼt blame Dongfang Ruolan and Miao Xin, as they had good intentions.

Seeing that Miao Xin was still blaming herself, Ye Fei was about to comfort her when he heard a soft sound at the ward door. He quickly turned around and saw a girl about his age push the door open and enter.

The girl was wearing a school uniform from an unknown school. She wasnʼt very tall, only about 1.6 meters. Her face was a bit pale, and her eyes were slightly swollen and red. Even so, her natural beauty was still evident.

She was actually a young beauty who was even more beautiful than Miao Xin and on a par with Lin Ling. Her current complexion made her seem even more delicate and in need of care.

”Sister Miao Xin.” The girl, seeing so many people in the hospital room, forced a smile. She greeted Miao Xin first, then turned to Zhang Qiang and said, ”Uncle Zhang, youʼre here to see my dad again?”

It was then that Ye Fei realized this girl was Li Yunʼs daughter, Li Xiaoyan. When Li Yun had mentioned how beautiful she was, Ye Fei hadnʼt quite believed it. But now he could see that Li Yun hadnʼt been exaggerating at all.

Her pale face and swollen eyes were likely from worrying about her fatherʼs condition.

Seeing this, Ye Fei felt even more determined to take care of her. But somehow, the meaning of ”taking care” was subtly shifting in his mind.

”Yeah,” Zhang Qiang smiled and pointed to Ye Fei. ”Let me introduce you. This is Ye Fei, the one your dad and I always talk about. The famous Ye Fei.”

”Ye Fei?” Li Xiaoyan repeated softly, her face suddenly clouding with anger as she glared at Ye Fei. ”Get out. Youʼre not welcome here.”
