The beautiful woman was full of panic and looked at Qin Yi pleadingly, "Please, don’t hurt Little Rui. We’ll give you however much money you want."
Qin Yi slightly frowned and said in a deep voice, "Step back."
"What exactly do you want to do?" The man stared angrily at Qin Yi.
"We’ll step back, we’ll step back, just please don’t hurt Little Rui." The woman pulled the man backward in a panic.
"Put Little Rui down, or I’ll call the police." The woman in her forties, who had fallen hard, got up and yelled at Qin Yi.
"Shut up!" the man said in a deep voice.
When Qin Yi had first taken Little Rui into his arms, he slightly frowned, initially thinking she was only having an allergic reaction to pollen. But now it seemed that was not the case at all—Little Rui was actually poisoned, and it was a deliberate act, not food poisoning.
Little Rui had already fainted, her small face pale like a broken doll. Qin Yi’s eyes were cold. Who could be so cruel to poison such a cute child?
Qin Yi held Little Rui’s cold little hand, white light flowing in his palm, entering softly through her pores. Qin Yi’s gaze was serious—Little Rui was too young, her meridians fragile, he had to be careful.
Suddenly, Little Rui spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Little Rui’s parents nearly lost their minds upon seeing this.
"Please, don’t hurt Little Rui; she’s only three years old, I’m begging you..." the woman cried, falling directly to her knees before Qin Yi.
"Take it out on me if you must! We’ll give you anything you want, just please don’t hurt Little Rui." Little Rui’s father also knelt down.
"You quickly release Little Rui; I’ve already called the police." The woman in her forties, likely Little Rui’s babysitter, looked at Qin Yi with a smug face, holding her phone.
Little Rui’s parents’ expressions changed drastically.
"Who told you to call the police?" Little Rui’s father roared.
The babysitter had a face full of grievance, "Sir, he’s the one who harmed Little Rui . Only by having the police arrest him can we save Little Rui."
Qin Yi glanced at the babysitter, his eyes flickered slightly. Then he looked down and wiped the black blood from the corner of Little Rui’s mouth with his sleeve.
Little Rui’s long eyelashes trembled a few times, then she slowly opened her eyes, blinked her big eyes a few times, and then smiled lightly, saying brightly, "Brother, is it you?"
Qin Yi smiled gently, "Yes, Little Rui, try to feel if there’s anything uncomfortable in your body."
"Nope!" Little Rui shook her head.
Qin Yi breathed a soft sigh of relief. It seemed the poison hadn’t been there long, and he had managed to expel it all. If it had lingered, he feared it would have caused irreparable harm to Little Rui’s body.
"Go find your dad and mom." Qin Yi set Little Rui down.
"Daddy, Mommy." Little Rui ran happily on her little legs.
Little Rui’s mother, filled with emotion, held Little Rui tightly in her arms.
"Mommy, you’re hurting Little Rui."
The woman was startled and quickly loosened her grip, nervously asking, "Little Rui, are you okay?"
"I’m okay! I was just chatting with Brother, but I couldn’t understand what Brother was saying. Mommy, why are you crying?" Little Rui reached out a small hand to wipe her mother’s tears. It seemed Little Rui didn’t remember what had just happened.
"Little Rui, are you really okay? Is there nowhere that’s unwell?" the man asked nervously.
"No!" Little Rui replied questioningly, not understanding why Daddy and Mommy were asking her if she’s alright.
Little Rui’s father looked at Qin Yi, his expression filled with guilt.
Qin Yi simply smiled silently. He could completely understand the other party’s feelings at the time. Such is the heart of parents in the world.
"Thank you!" The man walked over, came to Qin Yi and, bowing slightly, extended his hand and said, "My name is Dong Zhiping. I sincerely apologize for mistakenly blaming you earlier. Although I don’t know how you healed Little Rui, I know it must have been you."
"Qin Yi." He extended his hand to shake Dong Zhiping’s, smiling, "Little Rui is very cute."
Dong Zhiping smiled and said, "My wife and I had children late; Little Rui is the treasure of our whole family. If anything were to happen to her, I swear I’d have to kill myself to apologize to my parents."
"Honey, come over here for a second." Dong Zhiping called.
The woman, holding Little Rui, walked over and smiled apologetically at Qin Yi, saying, "Sorry, we wrongly accused you just now."
"Understandable. If it were me, I would have fought long ago." Qin Yi smiled.
"By the way, this is my wife, Yan Yutong, she’s a pianist."
"Hello!" Qin Yi nodded slightly and smiled, "No wonder you have such a good aura."
"Honey, our lifesaver is called Qin Yi."
Yan Yutong was full of gratitude, "Thank you, really thank you for saving Little Rui."
"No need to be so polite. It was just a small effort. Besides, Little Rui is so cute. When she called me Brother, I couldn’t just pretend I didn’t see her in trouble."
Dong Zhiping and Yan Yutong exchanged glances, this misfortune felt a bit off.
Qin Yi naturally saw their thoughts and smiled, "It’s alright, everyone calls in their own way."
"Qin Yi, I feel like your name sounds familiar," Dong Zhiping said, looking puzzled, trying to recall where he’d heard the name Qin Yi.
"Mr. Dong, are you in business?"
Dong Zhiping nodded slightly.
"Then do you know Xia Yanbing?"
Dong Zhiping was stunned, then his jaw dropped in surprise, "Are you Xia Yanbing’s..."
Dong Zhiping didn’t finish his sentence because what followed was not particularly pleasant.
"I am Xia Yanbing’s disabled husband." Qin Yi laughed.
Dong Zhiping looked completely embarrassed.
Yan Yutong was wide-eyed as well; she knew of Xia Yanbing and had heard that her husband was disabled, but didn’t expect it to be this man before her.
"Sorry, I’m just a bit surprised." Dong Zhiping laughed awkwardly.
"It’s no problem; I’m used to it." Qin Yi smiled indifferently.
"Forgive me for being blunt, Mr. Qin, you’re nothing like the rumors suggest," Yan Yutong said.
Qin Yi laughed, "I’m quite curious how I’m described out there."
"Our Yinfeng City isn’t big, so neither is the business circle. Miss Xia has some influence in the circle. Therefore, the rumors aren’t very flattering."
"Mr. Qin, don’t think too much of it. People just can’t keep their mouths shut when they’re bored; most are just repeating hearsay, not knowing the truth at all, babbling on. You don’t have to pay attention to them. I think they’re just those who can’t have what you have, speaking out of envy."
Yan Yutong continued, "I’ve also heard some rumors. It seems like nobody’s seen you, Mr. Qin. If they met you, they’d surely realize how childish their words are. Mr. Qin, you have an extraordinary presence, and your medical skills are remarkable. A person’s ability is not just about the functionality of their legs."
Qin Yi smiled, unconcerned, "You don’t need to comfort me. I don’t live to please others. If they enjoy talking, let them."
