The Ning Caichen they knew did not seem like this. Why did he suddenly want Xia Weiwei’s life?
“Mister…”
Zhu An’an opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.
“You don’t have to worry about this. I have my reasons for doing this.”
Jiang Ming looked at Zhu An’an and then at Xia Weiwei.
How could Xia Weiwei have thought that Jiang Ming would use her own life as collateral? For a moment, she was in disbelief and stuttered, “What… the…”
“You don’t want to?” Jiang Ming turned around. “Forget it then.”
Xia Weiwei was slightly anxious. “No… Wait, I’m willing!”
Hearing Xia Weiwei’s words, the woman beside her did not say anything.
Jiang Ming looked at the woman and asked with concern, “What’s your name?”
The woman’s hands trembled when Jiang Ming mentioned her. Then, she looked up at Jiang Ming. “My name is Xia Zhaomei.”
“Zhaomei, huh?” Jiang Ming muttered to himself.
As Xia Zhaomei raised her head, everyone saw her eyes.
Upon closer inspection, her left eye was still normal, but her right eye had a strange purple crack.
The cracks were obvious, and there were red threads between them.
Zhu An’an and Zhu Asi saw them clearly, and then they fell silent.
What exactly had Xia Zhaomei experienced? How did her eyes become like this?
At this moment, Xia Zhaomei suddenly became nervous, and her eyes turned red. “Shut up!”
Those two words were obviously directed at Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming did not expect Xia Zhaomei to be so agitated. He apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Xia Zhaomei. I didn’t mean it.”
In the face of Jiang Ming’s apology, Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an were dumbfounded at the same time. Then, they looked at Jiang Ming in confusion.
This was the first time they had seen Ning Caichen apologize, and it was clearly Xia Zhaomei who had offended him first.
“Why are you apologizing?”
Zhu An’an could not help but ask. Her eyes were filled with puzzlement.
Jiang Ming knew Zhu An’an’s feelings and said, “It’s okay. I’ll explain it to you later.”
Just like that, Zhu An’an simply kept silent.
Zhu Asi did not say anything after hearing Jiang Ming’s words.
He trusted Jiang Ming’s decision fully.
Xia Zhaomei probably realized her attitude and lowered her head to apologize to Jiang Ming. “No, it’s my fault. Please don’t take my sister’s life. I can exchange other things for your treatment.”
Hearing Xia Zhaomei’s words, Jiang Ming became very determined. “No, I want your sister’s life!”
Xia Weiwei looked at Xia Zhaomei. “Zhaomei, I treated you badly before; this is what I deserve!”
Then, she lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears.
“You would have likely been killed by me. I should compensate you with my life.”
“Weiwei, let’s go. There’s no need to ask him to treat you.”
Xia Zhaomei did not hesitate, nor did she reply to Xia Weiwei’s words. She grabbed Xia Weiwei’s sleeve and was about to leave.
“Zhaomei! No! I don’t want to! Ning Caichen, I’ve already decided. Let me sacrifice myself. As long as you save my sister, I’m willing to do anything!”
Slap!
Xia Zhaomei gritted her teeth and slapped her.
Xia Weiwei’s face suddenly swelled up, turned red, and even had a few bloody marks on it.
Although Zhu An’an was not hit, she could feel the intense pain.
“Lord Ning Caichen, please do as I say.”
Xia Weiwei was not angry. Instead, she continued to look at Jiang Ming, and her tone was still very determined.
“Xia Weiwei, even if you do your best, I will not be grateful to you. I will kill you!”
Xia Zhaomei roared at Xia Weiwei. She aimed at Xia Weiwei and slapped her again.
Seeing Xia Zhaomei like this, Xia Weiwei was still not angry.
Not only that, but she also tightened her grip as she looked at Xia Zhaomei.
“Zhaomei, no matter what you say, I won’t let go of your hand.”
Hearing this, Xia Zhaomei was stunned and did not know what to say.
“Alright, I will take your life. At the same time, I will cure your sister.”
Jiang Ming did not wait for their reply. His hand shone. He directed that light at Xia Weiwei.
“Weiwei!”
The moment the light shone, Xia Zhaomei rushed over and pushed Xia Weiwei away.
Xia Weiwei knew what Xia Zhaomei would do, but she dodged and took the opportunity to push Xia Zhaomei away.
The light shone directly on Xia Weiwei’s body. Xia Weiwei closed her eyes and fainted.
Jiang Ming raised his hand and released another ray of light onto Xia Weiwei’s body.
However, Xia Zhaomei was unwilling to let the light shine on her body and directly avoided Jiang Ming.
Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an looked at each other in confusion.
Ning Caichen had never been someone who would take someone’s life. How could he let these two sisters pay with their lives this time?
What kind of method was this? According to Ning Caichen’s medical skills, Xia Zhaomei’s illness should be treatable. He would not need to exchange someone else’s life to cure her, right?
Prince Qiqihar was deep in thought as he looked at Xia Weiwei and Xia Zhaomei.
Although he did not know what had happened, he had a rough idea.
Ning Caichen was a skilled doctor. One sister wanted him to save the other sister, but Ning Caichen said that he needed her life as collateral.
Although Prince Qiqihar did not know what to say, he still felt that Jiang Ming’s approach was not good.
No matter what, how could he let someone lose their life like this?
“Please, Lord Ning Caichen, return this light to my sister. My sister needs this light very much. I don’t want my sister to die.”
Xia Zhaomei kneeled on the ground.
However, she did not dare to check Xia Weiwei’s injuries.
Xia Zhaomei was afraid. She was afraid that if she touched Xia Weiwei, Xia Weiwei would die.
Hearing this, Zhu Asi could not help but sympathize with Xia Zhaomei. He looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Ning Caichen, does she really have to pay with her sister’s life?”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming laughed. “She doesn’t have to pay with her sister’s life. It’s just a cover. Don’t move.”
Xia Zhaomei heaved a sigh of relief and obediently followed Jiang Ming’s instructions.
A beam of light shone in front of her, and all the wounds on Xia Zhaomei’s body and face disappeared.
