Late at night, the lights of a villa on the outskirts of Guanghai City were still bright, with cars occasionally driving in. The people getting out were all dressed in the latest fashion, clearly indicating that a grand party was taking place.
"Mr. Peng, you seem quite happy today," Shi Chuan raised his glass and lightly clinked it with Peng Tian's.
"Hahaha!" Peng Tian laughed heartily, saying, "Yes, I am very happy!"
Earlier in the day, Peng Tian had gone to the hospital for an examination. The results showed that the blood clot in his brain had disappeared. After receiving the news, he immediately called Ancient Sorcerer and informed him that he would no longer be giving the remaining three million.
You think I'm going to give you money? Not unless the sun rises from the west!
That was Peng Tian's true thought. He wasn't worried at all about Ancient Sorcerer coming after him—just a small doctor without a medical license; how could he possibly threaten him?
Want money? Not reporting him for practicing medicine without a license was already showing him some grace!
To celebrate, Peng Tian arranged a party for the evening, feeling that he needed to let loose.
"Looks like we should really enjoy ourselves tonight," Shi Chuan said, pointing ahead with a knowing smile that any man would understand.
Following Shi Chuan's direction, Peng Tian's eyes lit up; in a corner, there were several tall girls either standing or sitting.
"What’s their story?"
"Freshly minted beauty pageant contestants; although they didn't win first place, they are among the top twenty."
Having been friends for many years, Shi Chuan understood Peng Tian's intentions and quickly made introductions.
"Not bad; it looks like we’ll get to enjoy some fresh company tonight."
Peng Tian's eyes revealed an uncontainable desire. These so-called beauty contestants often resorted to exchanging their bodies for fame. As long as he flaunted his title as the head of Heaven and Earth Group, how could these women not bow down to him?
"We have plenty of money; wouldn't these women obediently open their legs?"
"Hahaha! Well said! I'm heading over now!"
Peng Tian downed the drink in his cup and strode toward the corner.
"Those two in black look like sisters; I’ll need to use some tricks to achieve two goals with one arrow..."
The more Peng Tian thought about it, the more pleased he became, quickening his pace. But suddenly, he felt a sharp sting as if he had been lashed with a whip, a bone-deep pain spreading throughout his body in an instant.
It came so suddenly that Peng Tian took a while to react.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
His body trembled; before the first wave of pain had subsided, a second lash struck. Only then did he realize what was happening, letting out a piercing scream.
Silence!
The noisy hall fell silent, everyone staring at Peng Tian in shock.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!"
A third lash!
It was already the third strike! Peng Tian felt his body being whipped again!
His face contorted, his nose and eyes squished together, snot and tears streaming down his face. Peng Tian could no longer control his body; the pain made him bend at the waist, and his legs went weak as he collapsed to the ground.
"What happened to President Peng?"
"Yeah, what's going on? Is he having a seizure?"
"What illness? Sheep epilepsy?"
"I think it looks like that!"
...
"Who! Who is it... who is hitting me!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!"
Peng Tian curled up like a shrimp, gripping his head tightly with both hands. He felt another hit, as if his heart had stopped beating and his soul was trembling!
You look at me, I look at you, everyone in the hall stared in astonishment at Peng Tian on the floor.
"Is someone hitting him?"
"No? I didn't see anything."
"Yeah, there's no one here. President Peng... could he be going crazy?"
"I think so. Looks like I need to sell my stocks in Heaven and Earth Group quickly."
"Huh? What do you mean? Didn't it just hit the limit today? I was thinking of finding an opportunity to buy more."
"Think about it, if Peng Tian is like this, can Heaven and Earth Group still operate?"
...
At first, the discussions were quiet, but they gradually grew louder, and Peng Tian could hear them. He felt extremely anxious, wanting to explain but unable to say a word.
"Roar~~~~~~~"
It felt like a barbed whip striking him hard; Peng Tian sensed his spine splitting from top to bottom.
His vision went dark, and he fainted completely!
"Eh, what is that terrible smell?"
"Yeah! Where is that stench coming from?"
Soon, everyone noticed where the smell was coming from—Peng Tian was lying in the center of the hall with wet pants, and a puddle of water had spread out.
...
Peng Tian's face was pale, sitting dazedly in the chair, as if he had lost his soul, completely motionless. The door to the room was gently pushed open.
"Dad."
Peng Zhong walked in front of Peng Tian and softly called out. He had been drinking with a few friends when he received a call saying his father had collapsed due to illness, so he rushed back.
"Sigh... what on earth happened?"
A whip, it must have been a whip striking him, but who could have seen it?
How could this happen?
Peng Tian's body trembled a few times; that pain seemed to still linger on him.
"Hey, Dad, I think it might be an illusion?"
After returning, Peng Zhong had already found out what had happened. His first reaction was how could this be possible? There were so many eyes in the hall at that time; if someone really hit Peng Tian, how could no one have seen it?
How could this be possible?
What else could it be if not an illusion?
Wasn't there a blood clot in his father's brain not long ago? Peng Zhong had heard that if the nerves in the brain were compressed, a person could experience hallucinations.
"Nonsense, have you ever seen such an illusion?"
Peng Tian suddenly stood up, tore off his robe, and pointed at his body, saying, "Is this an illusion?"
Peng Zhong was startled. He saw five wounds on his father's body, each as thick as an arm, with the skin torn open, flesh exposed. What was even more shocking was that each wound had four blood holes, and blood was slowly oozing out!
"This... this..."
Peng Zhong was dumbfounded, wanting to say something but unable to find the words—an illusion? If this were all an illusion, then what in this world is real?
"Sigh!"
Peng Tian sat back down with a thud, like a fish stripped of its bones. He suddenly remembered Ancient Sorcerer, recalled the warnings from Ancient Sorcerer, and thought about the calm tone of the other party when he called to say he wouldn't pay anymore.
"Could it be..."
Cold shivers ran down his spine one after another, cold sweat breaking out in waves. Peng Tian abruptly stood up, pulled out his phone, but suddenly realized he didn't have Ancient Sorcerer's number.
Stunned for a while, Peng Tian could only dial Gu Fei's number, but it rang once before being hung up. When he tried to call again, it was simply turned off.
"Prepare the car; we are going to Guanghai Maternal and Child Health Hospital."
Grinding his teeth, Peng Tian knew that Gu Fei was unwilling to answer his call, but without finding her, he couldn't locate Ancient Sorcerer, so he had no choice but to go directly to the hospital to find someone.
A black Mercedes drove out of the villa and quickly disappeared into the night.
At Guanghai Maternal and Child Health Hospital, in Gu Fei's office, Ancient Sorcerer was leisurely sipping tea.
"You were right; Peng Tian called."
Gu Fei placed the phone on the table and looked at Ancient Sorcerer curiously. Half an hour ago, Ancient Sorcerer had come to find her and said not to answer if Peng Tian called.
"But why not answer his call? Hmph! Avoiding responsibility? If you hadn't said not to answer him, I would have scolded him thoroughly."
After taking a sip of tea and putting down the cup, Ancient Sorcerer smiled at the fuming Gu Fei, saying, "He'll come knocking soon; at that time, I'll help you vent your anger."
Gu Fei's expression darkened as he said, "Peng Tian is not easy to deal with. Don't push him too hard..."
"I know, but in front of me, if he’s a tiger, he has to lie down; if he’s a snake, he has to coil up."
The Ancient Sorcerer let out a cold laugh. When Peng Tian called Gu Fei, he knew that the spell he had just cast was taking effect.
Gu Fei had no idea where the Ancient Sorcerer's confidence came from, but no matter how she asked, she wouldn't say. There was nothing she could do about it.
"Clap, clap, clap."
Before Gu Fei could finish her cup of tea, there was a knock on the office door, followed by Peng Tian's voice: "Is Dr. Gu in?"
"Ah?! You really guessed right!"
Gu Fei exclaimed softly, "Peng Tian actually came."
"Open the door! I'll give you a surprise soon."
The Ancient Sorcerer picked up the teapot, walked to the water dispenser to fill it with water, then placed it on the induction cooker to boil. Since Peng Tian had arrived, there would be a good show soon; she needed to brew a good pot of tea and enjoy it properly.
