The middle-aged man then turned his questioning gaze to the girl.
The girl, sensing his look, immediately recounted what had happened to him.
The middle-aged man was utterly shocked upon hearing the story.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented lightness in his body. There was no longer any trace of coldness within him; the chronic cold he had suffered from for many years had vanished.
His eyes gleamed with intensity as he looked at Qin Yi.
"Young man, you have saved my life today. I will remember this immense kindness for the rest of my life!" The middle-aged man rose from his seat and said to Qin Yi with utmost sincerity, "If you ever need anything in the future, I, Han Sanwan, will do everything in my power to help, without hesitation!"
Qin Yi was slightly surprised. "You are Han Sanwan!"
Han Sanwan, the richest man in Haicheng. Four years ago, before Qin Yi went to prison, the man was already immensely wealthy.
"Yes."
Han Sanwan nodded and then introduced the girl to Qin Yi.
She was his daughter, named Han Xin.
Following this, Han Sanwan asked Han Xin to retrieve a bank card and handed it to Qin Yi. "Young man, there is thirty million in this card. It is your reward for saving me. Please accept it!"
Qin Yi was taken aback by this.
As expected of the richest man in Haicheng, he was offering thirty million right off the bat.
Indeed, good deeds are rewarded. His simple act of kindness had brought such a substantial return!
Qin Yi did not refuse and accepted it with a clear conscience. His family was in great need of money. Just treating Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei's injuries and buying medicine would cost a considerable sum.
"Master, please take me as your disciple!"
Huang Shi knelt on the ground and called out again.
Qin Yi's attention returned to Huang Shi. Seeing his sincere plea, he pondered for a moment and said, "I do not take disciples. However, as we are both practitioners of medicine, if you have any questions in the future, and if I understand them, I can offer you guidance!"
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master..." Huang Shi expressed his gratitude excitedly.
This was acceptable.
"Get up," Qin Yi waved his hand and said, "My name is Qin Yi. You can just call me by my name."
He found it awkward being addressed as "Master" repeatedly.
Later, Han Sanwan wanted to invite Qin Yi for a meal, but Qin Yi was in a hurry to return to treat Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei, so he declined.
With the money, Qin Yi also bought a lot of medicine from the pharmacy.
However, this was Huang Shi's pharmacy, so Huang Shi insisted that Qin Yi take whatever medicine he wanted for free, refusing to accept any payment.
Finally, Qin Yi exchanged contact information with Han Sanwan and Huang Shi and left the pharmacy quickly with a large bag of medicine.
...
Returning to their home in the junkyard, Qin Yi wanted to move Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei away.
This place was not fit for living. Now that he had thirty million, he could definitely find a much better place.
But to Qin Yi's surprise, the two women refused.
They were afraid of retaliation from Daoba!
They had tried living outside the junkyard before, only to be dragged back and severely beaten by Daoba and his men. As a result, they were now traumatized.
"Xiao Yi, you should find a place to live elsewhere!" Zheng Shufen said to Qin Yi inside the tin shack. "Daoba doesn't know about you yet, so you don't have to live here with us."
"Yes, brother," Qin Lei said with longing, "In a little while, after Tang Jialei and Liu Jinxiu get married, they should let us be. Then Daoba won't bully us anymore, and we can move somewhere else!"
Qin Yi's fists clenched tightly once again.
However, looking at Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei's injuries and their frail bodies, he relaxed his grip.
First, he needed to treat them and help them recover.
Tang Jialei, Daoba...
Let them enjoy their happiness for a few more days.
Thus, Qin Yi spent the next few days with Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei in the junkyard, treating them.
Although the two women repeatedly urged him to leave, he could not possibly abandon them.
After Qin Yi's treatment, Zheng Shufen's limbs were reattached. However, since her bones were broken, even with Qin Yi's intervention, full recovery would take at least a month.
Qin Lei's superficial wounds and weak body, under Qin Yi's care, were recovering rapidly.
Qin Lei regained her weight, reaching over forty kilograms. Her previously dry and yellow hair turned black again, and her skin even became fairer and softer.
However, the scars on her face were quite severe. Qin Yi would need several rare medicinal herbs to restore her appearance, but he had not found them yet and had put it aside for the moment.
Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei were astonished by Qin Yi's medical skills as they felt the changes in their bodies.
Qin Yi had to lie to them, saying he learned his medical skills from a doctor who was a fellow inmate in prison.
The two women accepted his explanation, secretly marveling that prisoners were indeed full of talent...
On the fifth day of Qin Yi's return.
Early in the morning, as Qin Yi was squatting by the stove boiling medicine for Zheng Shufen, a young man in a suit and leather shoes ran into the junkyard, covering his nose and mouth.
He then shouted at Qin Yi with disdain, "Hey, Qin Yi, come out for a bit. Someone's looking for you outside!"
Qin Yi looked up. "Who?"
"You'll know when you go out. Hurry up, or you'll face the consequences!"
The young man turned and ran out, not willing to stay another second.
Qin Yi stood up and walked outside.
A moment later, outside, Qin Yi saw a black car parked by the roadside. Standing beside the car was a familiar figure.
Upon seeing the person, Qin Yi's emotions shifted from complexity to outright anger.
He walked closer and enunciated three words: "Liu Jinxiu!"
Liu Jinxiu withdrew her gaze from a certain direction and looked at Qin Yi.
"Qin Yi, you're out..."
Qin Yi walked up to Liu Jinxiu and stopped. "Yes, I'm out! Liu Jinxiu, you are truly something. The moment I got out, you gave me such a big surprise!"
Liu Jinxiu could sense the anger radiating from Qin Yi, but she did not seem to care. She said indifferently, "Qin Yi, I know you hate me, but I don't care. I've decided to marry Jialei, and the wedding will be held in ten days."
"In ten days, I will be a wife of a prominent family, the wife of Tang Jialei, who has billions in assets..."
As she spoke the last part, her face involuntarily filled with longing.
Even though he already knew the outcome, hearing Liu Jinxiu say it herself still made Qin Yi's heart ache.
He had offended Tang Jialei for her sake back then, which led to his imprisonment and his mother and sister's current plight!
And now, Liu Jinxiu was going to marry the abuser!
How ironic and ridiculous!
Especially seeing the expression on her face, his heart felt an even deeper chill and desolation!
"So, you came here today just to flaunt that you're marrying into a wealthy family?"
"Here."
Liu Jinxiu extended her hand to the young man in a suit standing beside her.
The latter immediately took a red invitation card from his pocket and handed it to her.
Liu Jinxiu accepted it and then handed it to Qin Yi. "No, I came today to give you an invitation. I'm inviting you to attend my wedding with Jialei in ten days!"
