Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Strange Reaction _1
Song Tianming’s words were not without reason. Recently, Chen Bin had been so busy with the family business that he was beside himself with work.
He had wanted to rest for a while, but instead, such a mess had occurred—his son had been beaten and disabled, leaving him exhausted in both mind and spirit.
After much thought, he decided to rest properly.
Revenge was a matter of sooner or later, after all, he couldn’t exhaust himself to death.
All night, he was unable to sleep, tossing and turning in bed, with bouts of sharp pain assaulting him intermittently. Just when drowsiness finally came over him, that feeling would strike and he would become completely alert again.
After one night, Chen Bin felt he had aged several years.
Enduring the following day with sheer willpower, Chen Bin was nearly driven mad; he had been completely tormented, his body battered and his mindset shattered.
But come dawn, Chen Bin found that the excruciating pain had seemingly vanished all of a sudden.
Yet things were far from being as simple as he thought. Although the pain had disappeared, he suddenly felt so weak he was unable to get up from bed at all.
At the same time, his breathing became extremely difficult, as if something were choking his throat.
With no other choice, he had to urgently summon his subordinates to take him to the hospital, where he was immediately rushed to the emergency room.
The hospital director took the matter very seriously and directly invited Song Tianming to treat him in person.
By the sickbed, Song Tianming took his pulse, his facial expression changing unpredictably, neither clearly positive nor negative.
Gathering all his strength, Chen Bin asked, "Doctor Song, what should I do about my illness?"
Song Tianming was a doctor whom Chen Bin trusted immensely, and he had placed all his hopes on him.
However, the response from Song Tianming felt like a cold splash to his heart.
"President Chen, your condition is truly difficult to ascertain. So far, your test results are still all normal, yet your pulse is very strange."
With a troubled look on his face, Song Tianming said, "Have you recently encountered anything unclean? I feel that you are not sick, but rather, it’s as if you’ve been cursed."
Without giving it much thought, Chen Bin blurted out, "No matter what it is, just cure me quickly, I feel like dying at any moment!"
"This sensation is too unbearable, I can’t stand it for a moment longer, save me, please!"
Song Tianming sighed and said with difficulty, "It’s not that I don’t want to save you. It’s just that I’m at a loss, because what you have is not an illness at all!"
"What?"
Chen Bin’s mindset completely exploded. He had no idea what he had done, how had he, perfectly fine, become cursed? He had done absolutely nothing wrong.
"What should I do, Doctor Song? Please think of a way for me, if this continues, I’ll die!" Chen Bin pleaded desperately.
Song Tianming thought for a moment, then still said, "President Chen, although I am unable to treat your illness, based on my deduction, you have at most two more days to live. If you don’t get better within these two days, it’s quite possible that you’ll..."
"I remember previously, Old Master Qin had also suffered from these symptoms. Now I do not know whether he is still alive, but if he has survived, perhaps he could offer you some help and alleviate your suffering."
Leaving these words behind, Song Tianming turned and left.
He didn’t have the heart to make things too clear. In his confusion, Chen Bin might still live happily for these two days, but Song Tianming worried that if he spoke plainly, Chen Bin might be scared to death on the spot.
But by now, even an idiot like Chen Bin would have guessed the general idea.
Just when he felt all hope was lost, suddenly, he latched onto a few keywords.
He suddenly thought of the bet Ye Ming had made with him yesterday.
At the time, he had found it odd, unable to understand why Ye Ming would say such things and make such a strange wager.
Now, everything made sense to him; his current ghastly condition must be related to Ye Ming. He couldn’t believe that Ye Ming would resort to such venomous means to deal with him.
At this point, Chen Bin didn’t consider any other issues. Compared to holding grudges, all he wanted at this moment was to survive.
As long as he was alive, there was still hope for everything, no matter how important other things might be, none could outvalue living.
Only by coming face to face with death could one truly understand the essence of life. Now, Chen Bin understood everything. Putting aside his hatred and pride, he summoned his men with all his might, "Quick, take me to Ye Ming! Take me to him!"
His two subordinates showed hesitation and urgently persuaded him, "President Chen, you’re in this condition, your health is what’s most important!"
"Young Master Chen has already had a mishap. If you were to fall as well, the Chen Family would be finished!"
His two subordinates were indeed loyal, but a surge of anger welled up in Chen Bin, and he cursed without any mercy, "Shut your damn mouths, you two crows! If you don’t want me to die, then hurry up and take me to Ye Ming!"
In the end, unable to defy him, the two men picked him up from the hospital bed, carried him to the car, and headed straight for Ye Ming’s villa.
After knocking on the door, Lin Bingqing’s figure appeared in his line of sight.
"Miss, please help me find Ye Ming, I’m here to beg him! Ask him to save me!" Chen Bin pleaded with a sincere face, "I was wrong yesterday. I want to apologize to him, you must believe me!"
Seeing Chen Bin’s condition, Lin Bingqing couldn’t help but frown and was quite astonished. In just a day, Chen Bin had become so wretched; she had no idea what had happened.
Even so, deep down Lin Bingqing admired her master’s methods, but she said coldly on the surface, "My master isn’t here, you can get lost."
Chen Bin’s subordinates wouldn’t stand for this and immediately rushed up to confront her, "Little girl, how dare you speak to our President Chen like that? Are you looking for trouble?"
"Don’t think I won’t touch you just because you’re a woman!"
Lin Bingqing’s expression turned cold, and before he could finish speaking, she slapped him across the face.
"Watch your mouth! Otherwise, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
After dropping this line, Lin Bingqing decisively closed the door.
The subordinate who got slapped still wanted to reason with Lin Bingqing, but at this moment Chen Bin urgently scolded, "Are you a moron? I’m here to ask for help, who the hell told you to offend them?"
"If you’ve offended her, how is Ye Ming going to help me solve my problem?"
"What an idiot, how did I end up with a bunch of morons like you? I’m so angry!"
Chen Bin felt that it wasn’t Ye Ming who would finish him off; it would be his own stupid subordinates.
At that moment, one of his subordinates spoke, "President Chen, I just heard from Doctor Song that previously Old Master Qin from the Qin Family had suffered from this illness but recovered without incident. Why don’t we inquire with him?"
The gloom on Chen Bin’s face instantly cleared, and a new wave of anger surged within him as he cursed outright, "Then why the hell didn’t you say that earlier? Did you have to make me come here for nothing?"
"Hurry up and take me to the Qin Family!"
