The lash doesn’t hurt unless it lands on your own back.
Of course, Ding Lina knew there was a chance that what she did would cause other girls who bought those clothes to suffer too.
But she didn’t care!
Because Ding Lina had already contracted the disease—she’d caught it from a man.
Ding Lina felt it was terribly unfair.
Why were there so many people in this world who didn’t take relationships seriously at all, just wanting to mess around for fun?
And yet, she was the one who ended up getting burned?
So, with a heart full of resentment, Ding Lina wanted to pass her misfortune on to others.
And sure enough, she succeeded.
The unscrupulous merchant didn’t even bother washing the clothes she returned—they just sold them straight to someone else.
But what Ding Lina never expected was that this time, the victim would be her own sister.
“Dr. Qin, I know I was wrong. Please, I’m begging you, treat my sister. She’s really innocent.”
The netizens watching the livestream felt conflicted as they saw this unfold.
“I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. She brought this disease on herself—she deserves it. But like she said, her sister is innocent.”
“So good and evil really are just a matter of a single thought. One decision, and everything can change.”
“There’s no cure for this kind of disease! Even begging Dr. Qin won’t help.”
Seeing Ding Lina’s sincere attitude, Qin Jiang let out a sigh.
He pointed at the payment QR code on the table.
“Scan this. The consultation fees for you and your sister together come to 14,000 yuan.”
Ding Lina froze for a moment—clearly surprised that Qin Jiang was willing to treat her too.
But she quickly snapped out of it, pulled out her phone, and scanned the code to pay.
Ding.
[System Notification: Host has spoken bluntly to the patient, revealing their hidden ailment and greatly assisting them. Mission complete.]
[Congratulations, Host! Reward unlocked: Microscopic Vision.]
Seeing the reward this time, Qin Jiang was a bit surprised.
It wasn’t another traditional Chinese medicine formula?
What exactly was this “Microscopic Vision”?
Qin Jiang realized it might be similar to the Golden Right Hand the system had given him before—probably some kind of special technique.
“You should get checked out too. I need to know how severe your condition is.”
After all, treating one or treating two—it didn’t make much difference.
Qin Jiang simply had Ding Lina follow Zou Meili for an examination so he could tailor the treatment accordingly.
Ten minutes later, the two women walked out of the exam room.
Zou Meili’s face looked awful.
The vibe she gave off was so unsettling that it seemed like she was on the verge of throwing up at any moment.
Qin Jiang asked, “How is it? Is her condition serious?”
Zou Meili nodded, fighting back the nausea.
“It’s completely covered with cauliflower-like growths down there, and a lot of them have already ulcerated and are oozing pus. Looks like they’ve been manually damaged.”
Even Qin Jiang was shocked when he heard that.
“Did you pick at them with your hands?”
Ding Lina said sheepishly, “I’ve always had restless hands. Even a scab on my body, I can’t help but want to tear it off. So you can imagine how I felt with all those little bumps down there. I just couldn’t hold back—that’s why I scratched them.”
Qin Jiang felt a headache coming on.
“Human hands carry a ton of bacteria. Once you break the skin and bacteria gets in, your condition will only get worse!”
Helpless, Qin Jiang geared up once again, had Ding Lina sit beside him, and reached out to take her pulse.
After carefully reading her pulse, Qin Jiang finally let out a breath of relief.
“The inflammation inside your body isn’t severe, so it doesn’t look like there’s an infection.”
“But I’ll prescribe you some extra antiseptic solution. Besides taking the medication, you need to disinfect the ulcerated areas every day when you get home.”
Ding Lina nodded repeatedly, promising to follow Qin Jiang’s instructions to the letter.
Qin Jiang walked into the pharmacy and came back with four bags containing black pills.
He handed the bags to Ding Lina and said, “These are Detox Pills. Take one in the morning and one at night for a month, then come back for a follow-up.”
“There’s also some antiseptic solution in the bags. This solution is for your personal use only—don’t let anyone else come into contact with it.”
“Follow the prescription and take the medication as directed. In about a month, all the cauliflower-like growths should disappear. But the virus will still be dormant in your system, and it will show up even in a routine checkup. I need to be upfront with you about that.”
These words left the two sisters silent once again.
As long as that virus remained in their bodies, any hope of marrying into a decent family would basically be gone.
Because no matter how much you explained yourself, people would always look at you differently.
That was the price of indulgence.
Watching the two sisters leave, Liu Yan couldn’t help but sigh beside him.
“I don’t know what their relationship was like before, but I have a feeling that after this, these two sisters might end up as bitter enemies.”
Qin Jiang nodded in agreement.
Ever since Ding Lizhen found out that she’d caught the disease because of Ding Lina, her attitude toward her sister had turned noticeably cold and distant.
It was clear that Ding Lizhen was truly disappointed in Ding Lina.
Ding Lizhen probably felt this was heaven’s punishment for Ding Lina—except for some reason, that punishment had landed on her own shoulders.
“Every family has its own burdens. But this is no longer something we need to worry about.”
Qin Jiang was a doctor—his job was simply to treat patients.
Everything else was for others to handle.
Just as Qin Jiang was chatting with Liu Yan, a woman walked in, supporting a man beside her.
The man was powerfully built. Even though he was wearing a loose short-sleeved shirt, the fabric was stretched taut over his frame. Every muscle bulged prominently, making him look just like those muscular action heroes you see in the movies.
The netizens in the livestream gasped in amazement.
“Whoa, even a guy this buff comes to see a doctor?”
“Fun fact: people who work out regularly actually tend to have lower immunity, not higher—which is why a lot of beginners feel exhausted all the time and get sick easily.”
“But judging by his appearance, it doesn’t seem like a cold. He can barely walk straight—what’s going on with this dude?”
The netizens’ instincts were spot on.
From the entrance to the consultation desk was barely more than ten meters, yet this man couldn’t even walk in a straight line.
If it weren’t for the woman holding him up, he probably wouldn’t have been able to walk at all.
The woman struggled to lower him onto the chair.
“Doctor, please take a look at my husband. He’s been constantly drunk like this for the past month—he can’t even work anymore!”
Just as Qin Jiang was about to ask a question, the man let out a loud burp, and a heavy wave of alcohol fumes wafted from his mouth.
Seeing his dazed eyes and flushed face, Qin Jiang knew right away—this guy had definitely been drinking heavily.
