Lin Feiyin deftly opened the door and entered. Without greeting the newcomer, she quickly walked to the bedside, and fed Shen Xi the pill she held in her hand.
She moved so swiftly that only after the pill had been administered did she hear the newcomer’s stern voice, "Wait a minute! How could his broken rib have pierced so deeply into his lung lobe? And why, without even removing the fragment or setting the bone, did you feed him medicine?"
At this, Lin Feiyin remembered her oversight and became flustered. "What should I do? I... I forgot just now..." As she spoke, she didn’t wait for a response and pried open Shen Xi’s mouth, attempting to retrieve the pill, only to find nothing inside.
She then heard the newcomer say coldly, "It’s no use. That pill melts upon entering the mouth, it has already dissolved into water and been absorbed by him; you won’t be able to find it."
Upon finishing this statement, the person pushed Lin Feiyin aside, turned on an emergency lamp nearby, and shone the light on Shen Xi’s chest.
Subsequently, the individual produced a silver-gleaming scalpel from nowhere, slit open Shen Xi’s clothes, and exposed his chest.
Shen Xi had three broken ribs, with the jagged edges piercing into his lung lobe. Upon a close examination, the abnormality in his chest was obvious.
The person then proceeded to slice Shen Xi’s chest open with the scalpel, extracted the rib fragments from the lung lobe, somewhat aligned the broken ends, and fed Shen Xi a new pill.
Following that, Lin Feiyin and the mother and son in the room witnessed Shen Xi’s wounds healing at a visibly rapid pace.
Before long, Shen Xi awoke. His chest was still smeared with large patches of blood, and upon awakening, he became aware of it. He quickly looked towards the extra person in the room and managed a weak gratefully intended smile, "It was you who saved me, wasn’t it? Thank you." He paused, then said with a sardonic smile, "However, given the value of the information and the items I previously provided for you, saving me was expected. Additionally, my sister has also been seriously injured, you must heal her."
Caught off guard by Shen Xi’s words, Lin Feiyin opened her mouth to speak but met Shen Xi’s cautionary gaze. Hesitating momentarily, she ultimately said nothing.
The visitor, however, narrowed their eyes dangerously, studying Shen Xi intently for a while before finally promising ominously, "Fine, I agree." True to their word, they took out a pill and placed it into Shen Xin’s mouth.
Shen Xin had four broken ribs, even more severe than Shen Xi’s injuries. Fortunately, the bones had not punctured her lung lobe, making her situation somewhat better and sparing her the need for the visitor’s invasive correcting procedure.
When she swallowed the pill, her complexion gradually improved.
