The Hidden Dragon In-Law-Chapter 71 – Miracle
Linda Dong clutched her leg, watching blood seep continuously through her fingers, realizing that James Ye hadn't lied to her.
However, the thought of taking off her pants in front of a stranger made her struggle internally.
Faced with life and death, Linda hesitated for a moment before finally giving in.
She didn't want to die, nor did she want to become disabled.
Blushing, Linda glanced up at James, her heart pounding, her whole body feeling strange.
Finally, she whispered, "I understand, thank you."
James nodded, squatted down, and grabbed her pants with both hands, tearing them forcefully.
With a ripping sound, the pants were torn to shreds, revealing two flawless, jade-like legs.
Linda's breath caught, her face burning hot, her heart beating even faster, and she dared not look at James.
James remained calm, noticing the knife wound on her left leg. He pressed his index and middle fingers together and applied pressure to the acupuncture points.
A trace of spiritual energy flowed from his fingers into the wound.

Despite the alluring sight before him, James kept his eyes fixed on the wound, never glancing elsewhere.
His hands moved swiftly, and after a few more presses, the bleeding gradually stopped.
According to the medical techniques in the Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures, he could completely heal Linda's wound, regenerate her tendons, and even make the wound disappear on the spot. But James didn't want to shock her.
He simply used his fingers as needles to stop the bleeding and heal the tendons, leaving the remaining superficial wounds for the hospital to bandage, allowing them to heal naturally.
Linda's heart raced as she felt the pain lessen and the bleeding stop after a few presses from James, feeling incredibly astonished.
She hadn't expected that the traditional Chinese medicine her family deemed useless would be more effective than Western medicine!
"It's done," James said calmly, standing up without looking away. "Try standing up."
Linda tried to stand, and to her surprise, the bleeding had indeed stopped. She was both shocked and delighted.
Blushing, she looked up shyly and said, "Since you don't want to reveal your name, at least give me a chance to thank you."
"No need," James replied coldly, not wanting to expose his identity.
"You saved my life. If I can't even thank you, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life," Linda said stubbornly, then took off a necklace from her neck. "This is a gift from my grandfather for my coming-of-age ceremony. You saved my life, and I want to give it to you."
She held out a platinum chain with a sparkling pink diamond pendant.
James initially wanted to refuse, but he sensed a faint trace of spiritual energy in the pink diamond. After a moment's thought, he accepted it.
He nodded, took off his jacket, tied it around her waist, and said, "Sorry for tearing your pants. Use my jacket for now. I used your phone to call the nearby hospital's emergency service. The ambulance should arrive in a few minutes. You're safe now. I have to go."
With that, James turned around without looking back and disappeared into the dense cornfield.
"Hey, wait..." Linda called out, but James had already vanished.
Outside the park, the sound of an ambulance siren could be heard.
She looked down at the jacket around her waist, then at the direction James had disappeared, feeling a sense of loss.

The next second, she suddenly felt that the departing figure looked very familiar.
Recalling for a moment, Linda suddenly realized that the figure was exactly like the chairman's!
"Could it be the chairman of Dihao Group?" Linda wondered.
But she hadn't asked for his name, nor seen his face, so she couldn't be sure if her guess was correct.
Just then, Linda noticed a gray-white pebble where James had squatted earlier, with the words "Peace and Prosperity" written on it.
This pebble must have fallen out by accident, she thought.
Linda held it tightly, feeling as if she had found a treasure.
If she never saw him again, this pebble would be the only token he left her.
After being taken to the hospital by the ambulance, Linda was diagnosed with minor injuries.
The treating doctor, unaware of James's initial treatment, was astonished by her condition.
Judging by the knife wound on her leg, it should have at least severed tendons or, at worst, damaged her muscles.
But apart from the superficial wound, her tendons and muscles were intact, as if they had been reconnected, even stronger than before.
The doctor told her, "Your injury will heal in a few days. Honestly, it's incredible. Did you do any special treatment to the wound?"
Linda thought of the mysterious man but said, "I didn't do anything special."
The doctor marveled, "That's truly amazing!"
He then added, "By the way, I've notified the police. They should be here soon. You can tell them about the attack when they arrive."
Linda nodded gently.
The police arrived quickly.
A knife attack in a busy area, especially involving a high-ranking executive of Dihao Group, was taken very seriously.
Among the officers, someone recognized Linda as a guest of the Xiao Family and notified them.
At the Xiao Family villa, the family was discussing what to do.
Robert Xiao had told them about Linda's incident but didn't mention it was his fault. Old Madame Xiao still thought this was a good opportunity for the Xiao Family to shine. They needed to find Linda, rescue her, and help Robert win her heart.
When they heard she was in the hospital, Old Madame Xiao was disappointed, lamenting, "If only Robert could seize this hero-saving-the-beauty opportunity!"
She immediately said to everyone, "Let's go to the hospital quickly!"
Robert felt uneasy but had no choice but to follow his family to the hospital.
On the way, Robert had already thought of an excuse, unsure if Linda would believe it.
Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Linda, Robert's face lit up with joy. He hurriedly approached her, "Linda, are you okay? I was just about to call my dad and bring people to rescue you."
"Rescue me?" Linda's cold face showed a hint of sarcasm. "You almost got me killed!"
Robert quickly explained, "Linda, don't misunderstand. I was trying to distract them. They were after me, not you. I thought they wouldn't harm you."
Linda snorted, unwilling to argue with Robert, as she had seen through his true nature and just wanted to stay away from him.
Robert, seeing that Linda didn't blame him further, thought she believed his story. He looked her up and down, noticing she was wearing a man's jacket around her waist, and frowned, "Linda, where are your pants? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Linda, filled with disgust, didn't want to talk to him and said coldly, "It's none of your business!"
Old Madame Xiao's sharp eyes scanned Linda, focusing on the man's jacket. She stepped forward and asked, "Linda, you can tell Grandma. Did those people do anything to you?"
Linda replied expressionlessly, "They stabbed me. Luckily, a young passerby saved me. Since my leg was injured, he treated me. My pants were torn, so he gave me his jacket. Is there a problem?"
"A young man?" Old Madame Xiao was shocked.
A young man had saved Linda, which wasn't good news. If Linda developed feelings for him, her precious grandson Robert would lose his chance.
Robert, feeling jealous, asked, "Linda, how did he treat you? Did he take off your pants to treat you?"
Linda sneered, "What's it to you?"
