Upon hearing Su Chang's analysis, Qin Shi spread her hands, a helpless expression on her face, and said, "Then I can't think of any good solutions for the time being."

Su Chang frowned deeply, lowered his head, and fell silent.

However, just a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Su Chang snapped back to reality, his gaze quickly turning to the door, and then he called out, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Zheng Fangxiu walked in with a look of shame on her face. She said, "Young Master, Luo Bin has brought the police here. They say they want to take Jin Yanru away."

Upon hearing Zheng Fangxiu's words, Su Chang's brows furrowed even more, a flash of anger and resentment crossing his eyes. Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly turned to Qin Shi and asked, "If I were to anonymously report Luo Bin for misconduct to the Justice Bureau now, do you think he would be suspended from his duties?"

Qin Shi's expression turned somewhat surprised. She looked at Su Chang, thought for a moment, and then said, "That is one way, but it also has risks. If the report is false, it may cause us trouble."

Qin Shi paused for a moment and continued, "Moreover, Luo Bin is quite famous in the legal profession in Shanghai. If it is just an anonymous report, the Bureau of Justice probably won't handle it. But if you report it in the name of Quan Jing Law Firm or find a big name in the legal profession to report it under your real name, then he should be suspended from practicing and be investigated."

Su Chang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. His gaze fell on Zheng Fangxiu, carrying a hint of barely perceptible authority, and he softly instructed, "You know what to do, right?"

Zheng Fangxiu nodded without hesitation, her eyes resolute, seemingly confident about the task ahead. Her voice was clear and decisive: "Understood, as for Jin Yanru..."

However, when Jin Yanru's name was mentioned, Su Chang's expression instantly darkened. He frowned, rubbed his temples, and seemed quite troubled by the name. A hint of helplessness and frustration flickered in his eyes. He then turned his gaze to Qin Shi again, asking with a touch of urgency, "Qin Shi, is there any way to get Jin Yanru in for a few days?"

Qin Shi frowned slightly, lost in thought. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if considering a feasible solution. After a while, she looked up, her eyes sparkling with confidence, and slowly said, "It's possible, but not too long, at most 48 hours."

An excited look immediately appeared on Su Chang's face. He clapped his hands vigorously, the sound loud and clear. His eyes shone as if he saw the dawn of victory. His voice was full of anticipation: "Enough, Qin Shi, it's up to you now."

Although Qin Shi had some doubts, seeing Su Chang's excited expression, she readily agreed, "No problem."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you to handle. I won't get involved," Su Chang continued.

Zheng Fangxiu and Qin Shi nodded in agreement at the same time, and also decided that it was not appropriate for Su Chang to show up now, so as not to give Luo Bin any leverage over her.

Chapter 269 Treatment

No sooner had Qin Shi and Zheng Fangxiu left than Su Chang immediately left Longteng Group and went straight to the hospital.

Upon arriving at Fang Zhiheng's ward, Fang Zhiheng immediately saw Su Chang. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, and she quickly asked, "Su Chang, what happened to you? Are you alright? Where is Qin Shi?" Her voice trembled slightly, and she gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, as if trying to suppress her inner unease.

Hearing Fang Zhiheng's series of questions, Su Chang felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He quickly went to Fang Zhiheng's bedside, gently held her hand, and comforted her, "Lucy, don't get agitated. I'm fine. It's a company matter. Qin Shi has gone to handle it for me now." His eyes were firm yet gentle, trying to reassure Fang Zhiheng.

"Oh, that's good." Hearing Su Chang say that she was alright, Fang Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression relaxed a little, but you could still see her concern for Fang Zhiheng.

Su Chang then gave Guan Xiaodi a wink, and Guan Xiaodi glared at Su Chang in annoyance, but still obediently left the ward and closed the door.

Su Chang sat down beside Fang Zhiheng's bed, took her hand, and asked with concern, "How are you feeling these past few days? Is there anything that's bothering you?" His gaze lingered on Fang Zhiheng's face, carefully observing her every expression.

Fang Zhiheng said with a distressed expression, "Everything else is fine, but I can't move my legs, and it's inconvenient to take a bath. I feel like my whole body is rusting. I wish I could get better soon." Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed her longing for recovery.

Hearing Fang Zhiheng's words, Su Chang lowered his head in thought, his fingers lightly tapping the edge of the bed as he considered how to help her. After all, he possessed master-level medical skills; would simply curing Fang Zhiheng immediately be too shocking?

Seeing Su Chang's furrowed brows, Fang Zhiheng assumed Su Chang was worried about her, so she quickly comforted her, "Su Chang, it's alright, I was just complaining. It'll be fine in a while. Besides, Xiao Di wipes my body every day, so nothing will happen." She smiled slightly, trying to reassure Su Chang.

Seeing how understanding Fang Zhiheng was, Su Chang knew she had misunderstood. So he didn't hesitate any longer. He raised his head, looked at Fang Zhiheng with a firm gaze, and said, "Lucy, it's like this. I also know medicine and am proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, but I don't have a medical license. I'm confident that I can cure your leg with acupuncture. I wonder if you're willing to believe me?" His tone was sincere and confident.

Fang Zhiheng's eyes widened instantly. She stared at Su Chang in astonishment, seemingly unable to believe what she was hearing. Her lips trembled slightly, and after a moment, she slowly said, "Su Chang, are you really sure you can do it? I... of course I believe in you." Her eyes were filled with hope and expectation.

Su Chang nodded, his expression turning serious. He said, "Lucy, don't worry, healing your leg is a minor issue for me. However, we might need to be discharged first. After all, healing your leg immediately would be a bit sensational, and I'm afraid it might cause unnecessary trouble, so..." His voice conveyed a reassuring power.

Fang Zhiheng bit her lip tightly, her eyes flashing with a determined light, as if declaring her resolve to the world. Without hesitation, she said to Su Chang, "I know, Su Chang, let's go and complete the discharge procedures now." Her voice was firm and powerful, as if nothing could stop her from leaving the hospital, and she seemed rather impatient.

Su Chang nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He called Guan Xiaodi over and whispered, "Xiaodi, go and process Fang Zhiheng's discharge procedures." Guan Xiaodi obediently responded and turned to leave.

The doctor came to the ward again, carefully examined Fang Zhiheng's condition, and then smiled and told her, "It's okay to go home and rest, but you need to be careful. You can't walk on the ground recently, and you can't get your injured leg wet."

Fang Zhiheng looked at the doctor with feigned gratitude and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Su Chang and Guan Xiaodi escorted Fang Zhiheng back to Su Chang's home on the 23rd floor of Ode to Joy. Upon entering, Su Chang carried Fang Zhiheng straight to the guest room and carefully placed her on the bed. He quietly instructed Guan Xiaodi to stand guard outside the door, then turned and went into the bedroom, retrieving the precious set of silver needles.

Su Chang returned to the guest room, looked at Fang Zhiheng with a serious expression, and asked softly, "Lucy, I'm going to give you acupuncture now. It might hurt a little, so you'll have to bear with it, understand?" His voice conveyed a reassuring power.

Fang Zhiheng nodded without hesitation and replied, "No problem, please proceed with the acupuncture. I can bear it." Her eyes were firm and brave, as if telling Su Chang that she was prepared to face the pain.

Su Chang took a deep breath and steadied himself. He gently picked up a silver needle, his movements practiced and delicate, as if handling a rare treasure. He carefully inserted the needle into an acupoint on Fang Zhiheng's leg, then slowly rotated the handle. Fang Zhiheng's brows furrowed slightly, her lips pressed tightly together, but she endured the pain without uttering a sound.

While administering acupuncture, Su Chang closely monitored Fang Zhiheng's reaction. His eyes were filled with focus and concern, as if he were saying to Fang Zhiheng, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He knew that although this was a simple treatment, he dared not relax in the slightest and had to go all out. After all, one cannot be careless in practicing medicine, especially in traditional Chinese medicine, where a slight error can lead to a huge mistake.

An hour later, Su Chang's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat. He was slightly out of breath when he finally managed to remove the last silver needle.

Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Fang Zhiheng with concern and asked softly, "Lucy, feel it, see if you can feel anything in your legs now?"

Fang Zhiheng frowned slightly, carefully feeling her injured leg. Then she looked at Su Chang with a worried expression, her voice trembling slightly: "Su Chang, why do I feel a tingling and numb sensation in my injured leg? And it's a little itchy too. Is something wrong?" Her eyes revealed deep unease and fear.

Su Chang gave a reassuring smile, gently patted Fang Zhiheng's shoulder, and softly explained, "Lucy, don't worry, this is a normal reaction. Your injured leg is healing quickly, just like when you have a superficial wound, you feel a tingling or itchy sensation as the skin grows and the scab falls off. This is a good sign that the wound is healing."

Hearing Su Chang's explanation, Fang Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief. A relaxed smile appeared on her face as she said gratefully, "I see. Su Chang, how long will it take for my injured leg to fully recover?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation and longing.

Seeing Fang Zhiheng's anxious expression, Su Chang smiled slightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll give you acupuncture for three more days, and you should be almost recovered. But you still need to be especially careful during these three days and not move around too much." His tone was somewhat serious.

Fang Zhiheng said excitedly, "Really? That's wonderful!" Her eyes sparkled with joy, as if she could already see the wonderful life she would have after her recovery.

Seeing Fang Zhiheng's excited expression, Su Chang felt very gratified.

He gently stroked Fang Zhiheng's hair and said with a smile, "Yes, but don't be too happy yet. Although your leg is almost healed, you still have to stay in bed obediently for the next three days and can't go anywhere. If the bone grows crooked, it will be troublesome, and it may need to be broken and realigned." He deliberately emphasized his words, wanting Fang Zhiheng to take it more seriously.

..... ... ....

Upon hearing Su Chang's slightly threatening words, Fang Zhiheng's expression instantly became obedient. She quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Su Chang, I will stay in bed obediently for the next three days and won't go anywhere." Her eyes were filled with determination and resolve.

Looking at Fang Zhiheng's obedient expression, Su Chang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, I believe you can do it. Okay, you should rest first. I'll have Xiao Di give you a bath, and I need to take a shower myself too." After saying that, he stood up and wiped the sweat from his face.

Looking at Su Chang's sweat-soaked face, Fang Zhiheng felt a pang of heartache. She said softly, "Su Chang, you've worked so hard. Go take a shower." Her eyes were filled with tenderness and gratitude.

Su Chang smiled slightly, turned around and left the room. After all, acupuncture was quite mentally taxing, and he needed to take a shower and rest. He gave Guan Xiaodi some instructions and then went to the bathroom.

Because she needed to help Fang Zhiheng with her treatment, Su Chang stayed at Ode to Joy for the past few days.

The next day at noon, Zheng Fangxiu and Qin Shi came to report the situation to Su Chang.

"Big sister, Qin Shi, how's Zhang Sheng's matter going?" Su Chang sat on the sofa, her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Zheng Fangxiu and Qin Shi exchanged a glance. Zheng Fangxiu said softly, "The situation is relatively stable at the moment, but..." She paused, glanced at Su Chang, and continued, "Luo Bin's practice has been suspended, and he has been taken away for investigation. The seal was also taken away, but it seems that Luo Bin is not giving up."

Su Chang's expression turned serious, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the sofa armrest as he pondered to himself.

Zheng Fangxiu continued, "Li Na has been summoned back to Shanghai and is temporarily in charge of Quanjing Law Firm. However, she seems to want to see you to plead for Luo Bin."

Su Chang nodded slightly. He knew about Li Na's feelings for Luo Bin, and for the time being, he didn't intend to interfere. He took a deep breath and asked, "What about Jin Yanru?"

Chapter 270 Yu Chuhui's Father

Qin Shi continued, "Because Jin Yanru no longer had Luo Bin's help, she didn't dare to commit suicide again after being released. Instead, she started looking for connections and lawyers everywhere to try to get Zhang Sheng acquitted."

A hint of disdain flashed in Su Chang's eyes, and he sneered, "Hmph, she really won't give up."

Qin Shi continued, "But given Luo Bin's example, no one is willing to help Jin Yanru."

Su Chang nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good. Keep a close eye on things and make sure Zhang Sheng is convicted as soon as possible. I don't want this matter to cause any more trouble."

Zheng Fangxiu immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Don't worry, young master, we will definitely handle it well." Qin Shi also nodded in agreement from the side.

Su Chang nodded in satisfaction. Then Qin Shi went to check on Fang Zhiheng and left with Zheng Fangxiu.

······

On the third night, after dinner, today was the last time I received acupuncture.

As soon as Su Chang entered the guest room, Fang Zhiheng looked at her expectantly, her eyes sparkling with hope. She asked eagerly, "Su Chang, will I be fully recovered after the acupuncture today?" Her voice revealed a hint of nervousness and unease.

Su Chang sensed Fang Zhiheng's expectation. He affectionately patted her head and gently comforted her, "Lucy, don't be nervous. Trust me, after the acupuncture today, I guarantee you'll be fully recovered." His eyes were full of tenderness and determination, making Fang Zhiheng feel incredibly at ease.

Upon hearing Su Chang's affirmative reply, Fang Zhiheng's face immediately lit up with an excited smile. She exclaimed, "Then let's get started!" Her hands unconsciously clenched, revealing her eagerness.

Seeing the stark contrast in Fang Zhiheng's demeanor, Su Chang shook his head and smiled helplessly. He said softly, "Alright, let's start now. Lie down and relax." His voice carried a hint of amusement, as if mocking Fang Zhiheng's impatience.

Fang Zhiheng lay down obediently, her gaze fixed on Su Chang, her eyes filled with trust. Su Chang began to administer acupuncture; his movements were skilled and gentle, each needle accurately inserted into the acupoints.

Fang Zhiheng felt that the acupuncture treatment was not as painful as it had been the previous two days. Instead, she felt a sense of comfort. Her brows gradually relaxed, and the mental preparation she had done before had no effect at all.

An hour and a half later, when Su Chang removed the last silver needle, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said to Fang Zhiheng with a satisfied look, "Alright, you can try getting out of bed now." There was a hint of pride in his voice.

Fang Zhiheng looked at Su Chang with uncertainty, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. She asked softly, "Is it really possible?" Her voice carried a trace of timidity, as if she was afraid that her expectations would be dashed.

Su Chang didn't speak, but simply nodded and gave her an encouraging look. His eyes were full of encouragement and trust, which made Fang Zhiheng feel a surge of strength in her heart.

Fang Zhiheng took a deep breath and tried to slowly move off the bed. Her movements were slow, but full of determination.

Su Chang stood to the side, looking at Fang Zhiheng with an encouraging expression, his eyes revealing his support and affirmation for her. He stood there quietly, as if he were Fang Zhiheng's strongest backing.

Fang Zhiheng, supporting herself on the bedside, stood up cautiously. Her hands gripped the edge of the bed tightly, as if it were her only support. She took each step carefully, afraid that she would fall at the slightest misstep.

However, when she found that she did not experience any discomfort in her legs, her fear gradually dissipated, and she became bolder.

She let go of the edge of the bed and strode forward, as if to prove she had fully recovered. Once she was sure she was really okay, she jumped up and down with childlike excitement.

Su Chang stood to the side, watching Fang Zhiheng's transformation, a fatherly smile of satisfaction spreading across his face. Fang Zhiheng hopped around for a while, then suddenly turned and jumped onto Su Chang's lap.

She wrapped her legs tightly around Su Chang's waist, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him fiercely on the lips without hesitation. Su Chang quickly supported Fang Zhiheng's buttocks with his hands, responding passionately to her kiss.

Five minutes later, Fang Zhiheng felt her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, and her brain began to feel oxygen-deprived. She had to leave Su Chang's warm lips, and her excitement subsided somewhat. When she realized what she had just done, she felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her, her face flushed red, and she hid in Su Chang's arms like an ostrich, not daring to look him in the eye.

Su Chang burst into hearty laughter, the sound echoing through the room. Hearing Su Chang's laughter, Fang Zhiheng felt even more ashamed and secretly pinched Su Chang's waist, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Unfortunately, Su Chang was an indestructible man, and no matter how hard she pinched him, she couldn't budge him. Su Chang's laughter only became more unrestrained, which made Fang Zhiheng even more embarrassed and annoyed.

Fang Zhiheng's small fists rained down on Su Chang's chest as she cried out in embarrassment and anger, "You bad man, put me down right now!"

Su Chang knew he couldn't afford to upset this young lady any further, or he'd be in real trouble appeasing her later. He immediately stopped smiling and said gently, "Lucy, I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

Hearing Su Chang's apology, Fang Zhiheng felt a little better. She stopped waving her little fist, looked up at Su Chang, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. Su Chang also looked at Fang Zhiheng, and their eyes met, as if time had stood still at that moment.

This time, Su Chang didn't wait for Fang Zhiheng to make a move and took the initiative to attack. He held Fang Zhiheng's buttocks with one hand and the back of her head with the other, and slowly kissed her.

Although Fang Zhiheng was a little shy, she was also very fond of the feeling of kissing Su Chang before. She only struggled symbolically for a moment before half-heartedly kissing Su Chang. In the end, Fang Zhiheng took the initiative.

Gradually, their expressions became dazed, and the air began to fill with the scent of dopamine. They slowly collapsed onto the bed, their movements becoming increasingly intense.

Guan Xiaodi, who was outside the door, heard the commotion inside getting louder and louder, and even heard Fang Zhiheng's cries of pain. Guan Xiaodi blushed and quickly moved away from the door, muttering to herself, "What a womanizer, he's ruined another beauty."

Then, as if possessed, she examined her own figure and muttered, "I'm not bad-looking, so why doesn't this womanizer like me?"

The next morning, before dawn, Su Chang was nestled in a sweet dream, holding Fang Zhiheng tightly in her arms. Suddenly, a loud argument broke the morning's tranquility... Su Chang was startled awake, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

Fang Zhiheng also woke up with a start. She rubbed her eyes and saw that Su Chang was holding her in his arms. A shy blush rose on her face. She asked softly, "Su Chang, what's going on?"
