chapter 3 He is both Ye Shuai and the God of Needles!

Nelly Xu and Pryor Ye hadn't arrived home yet when Nelly Xu's mother, Mamie Li, called. "Nelly, do you... do you want to upset your parents? Look at what you did today!" "Our family's reputation has been completely ruined by you." "Your father had a heart attack and is now in Mercy Hospital. Hurry up and come." Smack! Nelly Xu was struck as if by lightning, her face turned pale, and her phone fell to the ground. She hadn't expected that her actions today would have such a profound impact on her father. "Quick, let's go to the hospital," Nelly Xu screamed, her voice tearing at her heart. "My dad has had a heart attack." "Hmm? Alright," Pryor Ye immediately performed a drifting turn and sped towards the hospital. On the way, he called the Ruff, who had received him today. "Bring me the Heavenly Net Thirteen Needles." Pryor Ye was preparing to personally save his future father-in-law and leave a good impression. Besides being known as the "Young Marshal," he had another identity: the Needle God! His self-created Heavenly Net Thirteen Needles defied the laws of nature, traversing the secrets of the sun, moon, and universe, saving countless lives! From generals to commoners! A simple heart attack was nothing to him. On the other end of the phone, the Ruff's eyes burned with excitement. "Five years, and the Needle God finally makes a move!" "I don't know who the other party is, but it's worth having the Young Marshal personally take action." Pryor Ye continued, "Don't inquire about things you shouldn't. In addition, three days from now at the Ascension Ceremony, arrange for Karen Chen's family to serve as servants." The Ruff replied, "Understood." After hanging up the phone, Pryor Ye suddenly realized that Nelly Xu was looking at him with a strange expression. "What are you doing?" Nelly Xu asked. Pryor Ye said, "I will personally save your father." "In addition, I've arranged for Karen Chen's family to serve as servants at the Ascension Ceremony." Nelly Xu, slumping in the seat, sighed with disappointment and exhaustion. How come she hadn't realized how much this person liked to boast before? Leaving aside medical skills, he thought he could meddle in the Young Marshal's Ascension Ceremony? Ridiculous. Before long, the two arrived at the hospital. But what they saw at the hospital crushed Nelly Xu's heart. Her mother, Mamie Li, was kneeling before Karen Chen, pleading desperately. Uncles and aunts from both families stood aside, silent. Karen Chen's face was filled with arrogance, unmoved by Mamie Li's pleas. Pryor Ye frowned. "Why is Karen Chen here?" Nelly Xu got out of the car and rushed to Mamie Li. "Mom, get up quickly! Why are you kneeling?" Mamie Li wiped away her tears. "Nelly, you've come just in time. Please beg Karen to save your father." "Your father is already in the emergency room, but the attending physician is Karen's mother, and she refuses to treat him." Laurel Chen and Tyson Xu both worked at this hospital, and the two of them had an estranged relationship, secretly competing for the position of department head. Combined with what happened at the wedding today, the two families had become bitter rivals. Laurel Chen had no reason to save Tyson Xu. Right now, transferring to another hospital was clearly not an option. Mamie Li could only kneel and beg Karen Chen. Nelly Xu felt overwhelmed! There was no time to think about it now; the top priority was still to save her father. She had to give up her dignity and pleaded, "Karen, my father is critically ill. Please, have mercy and let your mother save my father." Karen Chen's smile turned even colder. "Now you're begging me? Why didn't you do this earlier?" "You didn't bring your rich and powerful fiancé, Pryor Ye, here to help you. Why beg me?" Only now did Mamie Li realize that the person who came with Nelly Xu was Pryor Ye. She erupted on the spot. "Nelly, do you... do you want to upset me? Why did you bring this worthless guy here?" "You must be blind to be with him... Don't you know that he's not only a freeloader but also spent five years in prison?" "Pryor Ye, I warn you, don't even think about stepping into my house. My family doesn't support freeloaders." "Karen, rest assured. I will definitely teach Nelly Xu a lesson when we go back. Today's events were her fault." Karen Chen felt more at ease. "Fine, if you want my mother to intervene, it's possible." "Take thirty thousand for the medical expenses, but only Pryor Ye has to pay." The Xu family was in a difficult situation. It was because Pryor Ye couldn't afford thirty thousand that he called off the wedding. Karen Chen insisted on making Pryor Ye pay thirty thousand, deliberately creating trouble. Pryor Ye sighed, not expecting Karen Chen to be so sharp-tongued. How had he spent five years with her... "Hehe, originally I wanted a peaceful breakup, but now it seems you're determined to dig your own grave. I'll help you with that." Karen Chen sneered, "Don't talk about useless topics here." "If you can't pay, I can give you another chance." "You and Nelly Xu kneel down and apologize to me, saying that you're just a lapdog and don't deserve me." "Nelly Xu is nothing more than a discarded shoe I picked up!" Nelly Xu's eyes were reddening, and her heart trembled. This demand was too much! But when she thought of her father not being able to survive this... In the face of cruel reality, she had to compromise, bending her knees to kneel. However, Pryor Ye suddenly reached out and stopped her. "Nelly, there's no need to beg her. I will treat your father." Karen Chen burst into triumphant laughter. "Nelly Xu, now you've seen his true colors, right?" "He's poor, can't even afford medical expenses, and refuses to endure even a bit of humiliation, always bragging!" "He's just the discarded shoe I rejected, and you're only fit to pick up my discarded shoes." Every word she spoke felt like a needle piercing Nelly Xu's heart. Her heart had already been riddled with holes! Smack! Pryor Ye suddenly struck Karen Chen in the face, causing her to fall to the ground, losing a tooth. "I said, Nelly Xu is my wife, and no one can insult her." "Last time, you didn't remember, so this time I'll make sure you do!" Pryor Ye's words were resolute. Then, silence, a deathly silence. The Xu family was in shock. Damn it, they were still begging for help and treatment, and this guy actually hit someone. Clearly, there was something suspicious about him offering to help. Nelly Xu staggered back two steps, moving away from Pryor Ye. Was he a devil? His actions might have doomed her father! She was disappointed, regretful. Regretful of the choices she had made before. "Why... why did you do this?" Nelly Xu's voice trembled. Pryor Ye replied seriously, "My wife's honor cannot be defiled." Nelly Xu wanted to scold him, but she couldn't find the words to do so. At this moment, her feelings were beyond words. It took Karen Chen a long time to regain her composure. Her smile was sinister and terrifying. "Hehe, well, well, the Xu family, and Pryor Ye, you've found quite the son-in-law." "Remember, the one who caused Tyson Xu's death is not our family, but Pryor Ye." She walked into the office and slammed the door shut. Mamie Li sat on the ground, her face pale. "You... you leave... get out of here!" At this moment, Pryor Ye's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and then turned away. Of course, he didn't actually leave; he went to the emergency room. Just now, Ruff sent a message that he had delivered the Thirteen Heavenly Needles to the entrance of the emergency room. Watching Pryor Ye's departing figure, Nelly Xu was overwhelmed with grief. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, and she was already dead to Pryor Ye. On this side, Ruff muttered to himself, "So many prestigious families are willing to spend their entire fortunes to ask General Ye for help, and General Ye ignores them." "But today, he made an exception for an ordinary person!" "What is this thing called love in the world, which makes people live and die for it!" On this side, Mamie Li leaned against the wall, feeling lonely and hopeless. "It's over, it's all over this time. Pryor Ye has ruined our family." "Nelly, what makes Pryor Ye better than Thorne Fang by a thousand or ten thousand times? Why did you insist on choosing Pryor Ye?" Uncle and second uncle's families also blamed Nelly Xu and criticized Pryor Ye. They were also quite angry about it. Of course, it wasn't because they were angry that Pryor Ye might have caused Tyson Xu's death; it was because Nelly Xu didn't choose the Fang family. If she didn't marry into the Fang family, how could they bask in the Fang family's glory? Uncle suddenly had a bright idea. "Hey, stop crying, I've come up with a good solution." "Nelly, call Thorne Fang right now, apologize to him and beg for his forgiveness, ask him for help." "The Fang family has a wide network of connections, and they can definitely introduce us to the hospital leadership!" Second uncle also chimed in. "Previously, Thorne Fang said he could use his connections to help your father become the head of the department. He definitely knows the hospital leadership." Mamie Li's eyes brightened. "Daughter, call Thorne Fang right away." At first, Nelly Xu instinctively wanted to refuse. She couldn't imagine her life after marrying Thorne Fang. But when she saw her mother's lonely and desperate look, and thought of her father's current situation... She gritted her teeth and dialed the phone. She decided to sacrifice herself to save her father. The call connected. "Hello, Thorne Fang, I'd like to ask for a favor," Nelly Xu's voice trembled. On this side, Thorne Fang was quite surprised. Normally, Nelly Xu was cold and indifferent to him, often ignoring him, and today, she even brought a wild man with her. Why was she suddenly asking him for help? Thorne Fang asked, "What favor do you need?" Nelly Xu replied, "Do you know the hospital leadership at Renai Hospital? My father's heart disease has recurred, and he needs a cardiologist for emergency treatment..." Thorne Fang was delighted. For him, this was a great opportunity to possess Nelly Xu. Thinking about Nelly Xu's proud figure, Thorne Fang felt like he was starving. He hurriedly said, "I know the former dean of Renai Hospital, and coincidentally, he is a specialist in cardiology." Nelly Xu said with joy, "Really? Please, I beg you to save my father." Thorne Fang replied, "I can save him, but... you have to agree to a small request of mine."
