Wang Chao watched Atreus leave, then took out another cigarette and began smoking.
Zhang Long glanced at Wang Chao. "You smoke like that; you might get lung cancer."
"With my dical skills, do you think I'd get lung cancer?" Wang Chao replied nonchalantly.
Zhang Long was dumbfounded. He almost forgot that Wang Chao's dical skills were extraordinary; he could even bring the dead back to life. With such skills, he probably couldn't catch a cold, let alone get lung cancer.
Wang Chao continued to smoke and chatted casually with Zhang Long for a while. When the ti was almost up, he said, "Alright, Uncle Long, Bing Bing has probably finished crying. Let's go back."
He extinguished the cigarette, discarded the butt in the ashtray, and then walked into Shen Feng's hospital room.
Zhang Long did the sa. After disposing of his cigarette, he followed Wang Chao back.
When Zhang Long returned to the room, Wang Chao locked the door and looked serious.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Long asked.
"We've been marked," Wang Chao said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Zhang Long was taken aback.
"While we were talking just now, we were being watched from all directions. Didn't you notice?" Wang Chao looked at Zhang Long.
When they were conversing outside, he had already sensed that so of the gazes were hostile.
"I did notice that many people were watching us, but I didn't sense any hostility," Zhang Long shook his head.
There had been an assassin earlier, and that assassin had been taken down by the purple-haired girl. They were now standing where the assassin had been. It was reasonable for people to be watchful of them. As an old soldier, he didn't detect any ill intent.
Wang Chao's expression grew more solemn, and he said, "Among those who were watching us, there are three groups with hostile intent."
"First, the Red Fla rcenary Group from earlier."
"Second, people from the Bernard Family."
"And there's another group with no identifiable marks; I do not know who they are."
Zhang Long's expression changed at his words.
He hadn't sensed anything, yet Wang Chao had detected three hostile groups watching them?
Suddenly, he thought of sothing and asked, "I understand the Red Fla rcenary Group; they'd definitely keep an eye on us. But how could you distinguish the people from the Bernard Family?"
Wang Chao pointed to the emblem on his clothes. "mbers of prominent families have emblems."
When Firmin impersonated the Bernards, their clothes bore the emblem of the prominent family. Among the group of people who had been watching them just now, there were individuals with the Bernard family emblem.
Zhang Long asked, "How did you spot them?"
"My eyes are a bit sharper than yours," Wang Chao replied. "From today onwards, we must stick close to Bing Bing and Feifei, taking turns to keep an eye on them."
Seeing Zhang Long's intention to ask more, Wang Chao walked over to Shen Bing without further explanation.
Zhang Long watched Wang Chao and couldn't help but feel a mixture of admiration and puzzlent. While they had both been mindful of their surroundings during their conversation, Wang Chao seed to have seen sothing that had escaped his attention.
How had Wang Chao noticed the emblems on the observers' clothes? Zhang Long couldn't help but wonder if Wang Chao had X-ray vision.
As this thought crossed his mind, he paused and moved to the side, staring intently into Wang Chao's eyes.
Wang Chao's abilities were indeed mysterious, especially his eyes. They seed capable of seeing things that ordinary people couldn't.
Shen Bing had finished crying, her eyes were red. She looked at Wang Chao and said, "Thank you."
She knew that if it weren't for Wang Chao's treatnt, her father wouldn't have awakened so quickly.
"We're all family here, no need for thanks," Wang Chao replied, handing her a tissue.
Shen Bing gazed at Wang Chao, ward by the affectionate look in his eyes. She accepted the tissue and wiped away her tears.
Shen Feng, too, regarded Wang Chao with a questioning look, his eyes scanning him up and down.
"Shen Feng, let introduce you. This is Brother Wang, Wang Chao. He's the one who treated you," Liu Yifei introduced from the side.
Wang Chao smiled and waved to Shen Feng, saying, "Hey!"
Shen Feng continued to scrutinize Wang Chao with a puzzled look, his voice weak, reflecting his lack of strength, as he said, "Hello, Brother Wang. Nice to et you. I..."
Wang Chao interrupted gently, "We're all family here, no need for thanks. You are not well yet; you need to rest. Close your eyes and relax."
Shen Feng nodded and obediently closed his eyes.
Wang Chao walked up and acupunctured Shen Feng's sleep points.
Three seconds later, Shen Feng fell back into a deep slumber.
"Why did you puncture his points, Brother Wang?" Liu Yifei asked with curiosity.
Wang Chao, watching Shen Feng asleep, explained, "His illness isn't fully cured yet; he still needs acupuncture treatnt to completely eliminate the parasitic insects in his brain. Right now, he shouldn't be too agitated and needs more rest."
He had gone outside to smoke to give Shen Bing and her brother a chance to talk. Now that they had finished their conversation, Shen Feng needed to rest.
Shen Bing and Liu Yifei exchanged glances, both seeing the concern and apprehension in each other's eyes.
Indeed, Shen Feng had only awakened; his body was still very weak, and he shouldn't be overexerted.
As the two won were blaming themselves, Wang Chao's expression turned grave, and he said, "Moreover, I asked him to sleep a bit longer because I need to tell you sothing important."
"What is it?"
Shen Bing and Liu Yifei exchanged looks again, both showing concern and seriousness.
They're very familiar with Wang Chao, and they could tell from his expression that what he was about to say was crucial.
"What I'm about to say is simple, but it's very important. We're indeed being targeted by mbers of the Bernard family."
"I believe it won't be long before they co looking for trouble."
"So, I've decided that within the next seven hours, I'll perform one final treatnt on Shen Feng, aiming to completely eliminate the parasites in his brain."
Wang Chao looked grave and continued, "However, this treatnt will consu a considerable amount of my power source and stamina."
"After the treatnt is completed, I may enter a period of weakness and be unable to fight for a while."
"So, in seven hours, you will need to handle the safety situation here."
