Qi Dengxian maintained a cold expression and remained silent.

Huang Wenlang coughed and said, “Master Qi…”

Qi Dengxian asked, “Mayor Huang, do you believe what I just said?”

Huang Wenlang wanted to say he believed him, but Jack Sun had clearly improved Huang Qingge’s condition. This made it impossible for him to say such words against his conscience.

“Qi Dengxian, I know exactly how much you are worth. You might deceive Mayor Huang, but you cannot deceive me!”

“If you really had this ability, would you still be a powerless, penniless prison guard?”

“Mr. Sun’s reputation rings throughout the United States. A single treatment costs one hundred thousand US dollars! If you were truly more capable than him, would you have fallen to this state?”

“Using some small tricks to deceive Mayor Huang and then daring to swagger around swindling people with wild words. It is truly shameful and laughable!”

Xu Aoxue spoke very rudely, her face full of suspicion and disdain.

She looked down on a waste like Qi Dengxian from the bottom of her heart. Furthermore, she had learned about this man from Yu Xiaolong and Long Yanan.

Jack Sun also couldn’t help but chuckle. He said disdainfully, “Miss Xu, there is no need to pay attention to such a villain. I can handle Miss Huang’s illness completely!”

Xu Aoxue lifted her chin at Qi Dengxian and sneered. “Did you hear that?”

Huang Qibin’s face was dark as he said, “Why haven’t you gotten out yet, you clown!”

Qi Dengxian frowned, then shrugged slightly. “Fine. If you want to joke with human life, I won’t stop you. When something happens, don’t blame me for not reminding you!”

“Master Qi, I know you have some skill, but you should also understand the principle of being cautious with your words and actions!” Huang Wenlang couldn’t help but speak up, his tone somewhat unpleasant.

Huang Qibin raged, “You waste! You still dare to curse my sister? Someone! Drag him out and break his legs!”

Huang Wenlang waved his hand, stopping Huang Qibin, and said coldly, “A visitor is a guest. Do not be too rude! Master Qi, you may leave. I will not hold you responsible for this matter.”

Qi Dengxian scoffed, turned around, and walked away.

“Dad, look at what kind of trash you found. These Jianghu charlatans should be beaten thoroughly to stop them from coming out and harming people everywhere!” Huang Qibin said relentlessly.

“There are still too many swindlers in Huaguo. People like this couldn’t survive in the US!” Jack Sun said mockingly.

Huang Wenlang smiled apologetically. “Mr. Sun, please continue treating my daughter!”

In his heart, he also felt some disappointment in Qi Dengxian. It seemed that the last incident was likely just a lucky hit.

Later, I need to have a good talk with Sun Qingxuan to prevent him from being kept in the dark.

Qi Dengxian walked out of the room leisurely. He had always acted according to his own nature. Since they didn’t believe him, he couldn’t be bothered to care.

Although Huang Qingge was a living life, what could he do if they wouldn’t let him save her?

“Bah! You liar! Our Young Miss is already so pitiful, yet you still want to use her to make a profit. If something really happens, won’t your conscience condemn you?” Upon seeing Qi Dengxian come out, the servants of the Mayor’s household couldn’t help but spat at him viciously.

“It is only because the Mayor is magnanimous. Otherwise, a liar like you would definitely be thrown into prison to rot!”

“A liar like you isn’t even fit to be a human!”

Qi Dengxian turned a deaf ear to these insults. He maintained his own rhythm and walked downstairs unhurriedly.

Inside the room, after Qi Dengxian left, Jack Sun continued to use his previous method to hypnotize Huang Qingge, making her accept his subconscious implantation in that semi-conscious state.

“Mr. Sun is indeed an expert who has studied psychology in the US for so many years. He really has some skills. I can see Little Sister’s condition is constantly improving!” Huang Qibin said happily.

Although Huang Qingge was half-asleep, listening to Jack Sun’s words, her emotions became very gentle. She nodded gently and muttered softly.

Seeing this scene, Huang Wenlang felt much better. He nodded slightly and whispered to Xu Aoxue with a smile, “President Xu is truly thoughtful. To specially invite such an expert from the US for my daughter; I really don’t know how to repay you!”

Hearing this, Xu Aoxue felt a surge of joy in her heart. As long as Jack Sun could cure Huang Qingge, it would be easy for her to ask Huang Wenlang for favors.

Huang Qibin thought to himself that he would definitely teach that Jianghu charlatan Qi Dengxian a lesson later. What a fool, unaware of death, daring to scam my father and even curse my sister!

Degeneracy. That is probably what this is. Once the dignified Eldest Young Master of the Qi family, now reduced to the level of a Jianghu charlatan. Hehe… Xu Aoxue thought to herself, her disdain growing.

It was no wonder Yu Xiaolong looked down on such a man. Lack of background might be one thing, but more importantly, he had no ability and loved to put on an act.

“Qingge, your mother wouldn’t want to see you like this either. She definitely hopes you get better soon, return to your normal life, and stop living in the shadows of the past…” Jack Sun continued to guide Huang Qingge, touching upon the key point.

But at that exact moment, Huang Qingge’s eyes snapped open. She looked at Jack Sun with sheer terror.

Jack Sun was also startled. The hypnosis had been going smoothly from start to finish; everything seemed logical. Why did Huang Qingge suddenly wake up in shock?

He had treated many patients with mental illnesses, but he had never encountered such a situation.

Logically speaking, in such a state, Huang Qingge would only wake up suddenly if a powerful external force intervened or if a violent conflict occurred in her subconscious.

“What is going on?” Jack Sun was surprised and couldn’t react for a moment.

Huang Qingge let out a scream and slapped Jack Sun across the face. Her sharp fingernails left several deep bloody scratches on his face.

“Little Sister!” Huang Qibin was startled. He hurried forward, wanting to hold Huang Qingge to stop her from moving wildly.

However, Huang Qingge dodged with incredible agility. She ran quickly to the window, tore open the curtains, and jumped straight out!

“Qingge!!!” Huang Wenlang let out a despairing cry, dropping to his knees with a thud.

Huang Qingge smashed directly through the window. Her body fell from the second-floor window, over six meters high. With her body spread out in free fall like this, once she hit the ground, she would undoubtedly die; her internal organs would be shattered.

“Ah!”

Xu Aoxue and Jack Sun both let out cries of alarm. They clearly hadn’t expected Huang Qingge to suddenly commit suicide by jumping.

“Mom, I’m coming to find you… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have argued with you that day.” As Huang Qingge fell through the air, tears streamed down her face. She felt a sense of imminent release in her heart.

At this moment, Qi Dengxian happened to be walking leisurely to the doorway. Hearing the sound of shattering glass, he looked up and saw a figure falling from the sky.

“Pies don’t fall from the sky, but it seems beauties do?”

He planted his feet firmly, neither too wide nor too narrow. He raised both hands, extending his right hand gently, as light as a feather, as if he were carefully stroking a peacock’s tail.

NOTES

Pies don’t fall from the sky (天上不會掉餡餅): A common idiom meaning “there is no such thing as a free lunch.”

Stroking a peacock’s tail: A descriptive translation of a soft-style martial arts movement, likely referencing Tai Chi’s “Grasp the Bird’s Tail” energy, used to redirect force.
