Hahaha...
Serena Feng laughed, her voice tinged with sorrow and bleakness.
"Even you don't believe in me, so how could I expect outsiders to? If you don't believe, then so be it."
"Serena, that's not what we..."
He wanted to say that's not what he meant, but when he saw Serena Feng's eyes—eyes that seemed to see through everything—he choked back the rest.
They really didn't believe.
Maybe Serena Feng truly knew medicine, but how could someone so young surpass the world-famous divine doctors?
In this world, probably no one believes Serena Feng can restore William Wang Jinling's sight.
Even William Wang Jinling himself, after hearing the Master of the Mystic Healer Valley's words, must have wavered.
But... given his character, he wouldn't kick Serena Feng when she's down.
"Serena, all the famous doctors in the world have declared that for William Wang Jinling's eyes to see again, it would take a miracle."
"A miracle, huh?" Serena Feng stood up and faced General Warren Yu and Vincent Su, her pride undiminished as she said:
"General Warren Yu, Vincent Su, I, Serena Feng, will absolutely restore William Wang Jinling's sight. Just wait and watch me create a miracle!"
With that, she strode out...
If the world doesn't believe her, then Serena Feng will prove it to everyone with her own actions...
What seems impossible to you is just a small matter to me, Serena Feng.
William Wang Jinling's eyes will definitely see the light again.
All night long, Serena Feng locked herself in the two small rooms the Wang Clan had built for her. General Warren Yu and Vincent Su were deeply worried, but couldn't get inside. After Serena Feng persuaded them, they had no choice but to leave and plan to come back tomorrow.
On the way, Evan Zhou tried to bring Serena Feng a meal, but she ordered him not to come near.
She needed to prepare for tomorrow's surgery—her first truly formal operation in the Dongling Dynasty. She would not allow any possibility of failure.
Serena Feng spent the night in the operating room; Lance Quinn kept vigil outside the whole time.
"Serena, I believe in you. Use your strength to crush those false rumors and become a truly unique divine doctor!"
At dawn, Lance Quinn slipped away without a sound.
The next day, Serena Feng appeared before Evan Zhou, full of energy—nothing like someone who hadn't slept all night.
In fact, she had fallen asleep in the operating room during the second half of the night, so today there was no chance she'd be tired.
Today was her battle—Serena Feng would not allow any flaws.
She was going to the Wang Clan herself to discuss the surgery with William Wang Jinling. Only by proving her skill could she justify her pride.
Whether Serena Feng was innocent or guilty, whether she was a fraud or not, was not for others to decide.
A fraud?
Hmph...
Hsieh Manor, Imperial Physician Victor Yuan—get ready to slap yourselves in the face!
Just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean I, Serena Feng, can't.
And the Empress, Princess Serenity—you two just wait and see. You may have orchestrated this drama, but you don't get to decide how it ends.
Nolan Dongling, I'm working toward the power you talked about.
I believe there is a kind of power in this world that can rival imperial authority.
Scholars and beauties may become white-robed ministers, but I, Serena Feng—a mere commoner—can also become someone the powerful dare not offend.
Radiant with energy, Serena Feng headed out of Feng Manor. The moment she opened the door, she found the scene outside had completely changed from yesterday's quiet—now it was packed like a marketplace, crowded with people shouting:
"Serena Feng, you fraud! Give me back my silver!"
"Serena Feng, you swindler! Murderers must pay with their lives—give me back my mother's life!"
"Serena Feng, you shameless woman! Come out, come out here!"
...
These people were clearly organized and prepared—they didn't storm into Feng Manor, but sealed off every exit.
Bang...
Serena Feng shut the door.
She knew perfectly well that in this situation, she couldn't possibly reach the Wang Clan.
"Sis, what do we do now? Are they really going to trap us here in Feng Manor until we die?" Evan Zhou asked anxiously. When he went out before, it hadn't been like this.
"There must be another way." Serena Feng leaned against the door, considering whether to climb the wall.
She quickly rejected that idea.
Her conversation yesterday with General Warren Yu and Vincent Su must have leaked—otherwise, the timing wouldn't be so perfect.
Coincidence? What is this, a soap opera? There's no such thing as pure coincidence in this world.
Still, Serena Feng didn't suspect General Warren Yu or Vincent Su—she knew they'd never betray her.
The enemy was definitely watching her every move; everything she said and did was under their scrutiny.
"No!"
Serena Feng's face changed drastically. She screamed and dashed toward the operating room.
"Sis..." Evan Zhou was startled.
Serena Feng had no time to answer, racing forward with all her might.
Since the enemy was watching her, they must know how important those two rooms were to her.
Even if no one believed she could heal William Wang Jinling, they'd still want to destroy any possible threat. That operating room had been built in a very high-profile way.
After clashing with Princess Serenity more than once, Serena Feng knew full well that the princess would rather kill by mistake than let any danger slip by.
"No, no, please don't destroy my operating room."
Faster, faster—my operating room is my life's work and my hope. It cannot be destroyed.
As she ran, Serena Feng activated her Smart Med-Pack and drew out a pistol.
It was the only weapon she had to face her enemies.
Serena's hunch was right. The moment she burst into the courtyard, she saw eight men in black, wielding iron cabinets, about to smash into the operating room.
"Stop! Stop!"
Serena Feng yelled. The men in black hesitated, then turned and sneered, "Miss Feng? You really are alert. Coming here to die at this moment? Fine, we'll oblige you."
All eight men changed direction and charged straight at Serena.
Serena's face lit up with joy.
Perfect—her operating room was safe.
As for these men...
Anyone who dared target her operating room had no right to exist.
With a click, Serena released the safety. A cold, ruthless light flashed in her eyes—a fierceness she never had before...
Bang, bang, bang...
Serena Feng wasn't a sharpshooter, but the eight men had no idea how deadly her gun was. They charged without dodging or hesitation.
The result? Each one was hit in a vital spot and collapsed instantly.
The men behind realized the danger and tried to dodge...
Too late.
At such close range, faced with a rapid-fire pistol, where could they run?
Bang, bang, bang...
All eight men in black fell to the ground.
When General Warren Yu burst in with his soldiers, this was the scene he saw.
"Serena Feng, are you all right?" General Warren Yu took one look and understood—the one in trouble wasn't Serena, but her enemies.
General Warren Yu stared in disbelief at Serena Feng. How could someone so slight take down eight burly men in an instant?
Was she really that strong?
And what were those "bang, bang..." sounds he'd just heard outside?
Serena Feng didn't answer. She calmly glanced at the soldiers pouring into the courtyard, then casually began picking up the spent shell casings. "General Yu, why are you here? And with troops?"
After all, General Warren Yu didn't have the authority to bring soldiers into the imperial capital at will...
Was he here on official business at Feng Manor?
Serena Feng fixed her gaze on General Warren Yu, a hint of worry in her eyes. She was truly concerned that another complication would arise with the surgery...
