  Jing Yiran refused to learn. Jing Yichen beat him to a pulp, every time they had a scuffle, but he never stopped provoking Jing Yichen. Jing Yiran would end up saying something or the other that ticked Jing Yichen off and he wouldn’t hesitate to shower him with punches, in return.

  Jing Yiran knew the bottomline. Jing Yichen would not kill him, because they belonged to the same family.

  Jing Yiran had never been able to beat Jing Yichen, since they were kids. Jing Yichen was always stronger and swifter than his little brother. Jing Yiran was used to this, so much so that he didn’t mind being beaten up as long as he was able to annoy Yichen. As long as Jing Yiran was alive, this was his motive – to annoy Jing Yichen and make life difficult for him.

  Most times Jing Yichen was unaffected by Jing Yiran’s childish behaviour, but at times Yichen would get so instigated that he would want to kill someone.

  It was no doubt then, that Mu Qing and Shangguan Ning thought Yiran was a crazy maniac. This description of him was apt.

  Jing Yichen had been fighting with Jing Yiran since they were children, so they both understood each other’s temperaments very well. Yichen understood that Yiran must hold a lot of important clues with himself, which is why he was behaving so pricey. Yiran knew this too, that is why he was so confident that Yichen would come to see him.

  Without saying anything more, Jing Yichen stepped forward and held Jing Yiran by his collar, lifting him from the chair.

  Jing Yiran felt breathless instantly, after all he had only just recovered from the last beating that he had got from Jing Yichen.

  Jing Yichen threw him to the ground when Yiran’s face started to turn blue. Yichen stepped on his chest and said menacingly, “If you don’t want your recently healed ribs to be broken once again, you’d better hand over the man to me. If I find him myself, I’ll break your bones to such a degree that they would be beyond repair.”


  “Oh yeah? Then go ahead and do as you wish. Go on then. Kill me, kill me now!”


  Both the brothers got into a fight again. There was a sound of bones breaking and an ear piercing cry followed.

  Jing Yiran’s had finally paid the price for provoking Jing Yichen so much.

  Mu Qing couldn’t bear to see what was happening. He shook his head and covered his ears with his hands. He sighed. “Jing Yiran, you are so irritating. Even I feel like giving you a slap or two. Master Jing has great self-control to have not killed you, yet. It is a miracle that you are still alive after all that you have done. I would have poisoned you to death if I had to deal with you every day!”


  After Jing Yichen broke two of Jing Yiran’s ribs, he got hold of Yiran’s phone and wanted to transfer the recording to his own phone.

  Jing Yiran was numb with the agony. He was lying in a huddle and still couldn’t sit up. He laughed like a lunatic, seeing Yichen trying to unlock his phone. “Haha, you thought that unlocking my phone was easy? I come well prepared. The data on my phone is encrypted and it is impossible……”


  Before he finished his sentence, a woman’s pre-recorded message started to play, on the phone.”Congratulations. Your phone has been unlocked.”


  Jing Yiran stopped with his taunts immediately.

  This was impossible. His phone had been encrypted by a professional and it needed a professional to unlock it. How could Jing Yichen decode it so fast and with such ease?

  When did he learn how to unlock an encrypted phone?

  Mu Qing had already lost all hope of seeing Jing Yiran come out of this alive. His behaviour was extremely annoying and even after being beaten by Jing Yichen, he still kept provoking him. How had Jing Yichen manage to tolerate him all these years? He should have killed him and gotten rid of him, ages ago.

  Jing Yichen’s brain was not like that of a normal human brain. There was nothing in the world that he could not understand. Unlocking the phone was just a piece of cake. Even if it meant hacking the FBI security system, he would be able to do it after he’d had enough time to understand it!

  Mu Qing had always been proficient at his work. He was one of the most sought after doctors in all of the country. He was extremely modest and polite, but in his heart he knew how good he was at his job. He masked it well but he was a proud man. He admired very few people, and Jing Yichen was one of them.

  So every time his grandpa taught him an important lesson using Jing Yichen as the example, he looked up to Jing Yichen even more. He would try to work even harder so that he could be close to the kind of person Jing Yichen was.

  Jing Yichen was not only high in IQ and EQ, but he was extremely disciplined and capable. He had achieved so many laurels but even then he showed no inclination of living on past successes. Learning from Jing Yichen, even Mu Qing chose to study more of medicine.

  Jing Yichen decoded Jing Yiran’s phone easily and then deciphered the encrypted file that was stored on the phone. He found the recording and transferred it to his own phone.

  Congratulations. Your phone has been unlocked – this message kept playing incessantly as Jing Yichen continued to decode one file after another. Jing Yiran was in a world of pain but that was nothing compared to the torment he felt at having been outsmarted by none other than Jing Yichen.

  He had wanted to fight back today but ended up losing to Jing Yichen once again!

  Luckily, the most important and confidential file was not stored on his phone, otherwise he would have had to face such bitter defeat that it would be difficult to recover from.

  The injury had made Jing Yiran delirious. He was finding it difficult to breathe.

  He cried out, “Mu Qing! Is this the way your hospital takes care of patients? Can’t you see that I am dying? Get a doctor here, now!”


  Mu Qing came to his side, placed his fingers upon his wrist to be able to feel his pulse, for a few seconds and then smiled brightly. “Second Master of Family Jing, don’t worry, you won’t die here. But it seems that you deserve to suffer a little bit more, after all, you are asking for the pain yourself. Since you are so stubborn, I will grant your wish. I wont be giving you an anaesthesia when I repair your fractured ribs later. We need to be frugal with our hospital’s resources, you know.”


  “Mu Qing, how dare you! I will destroy your hospital.” Jing Yiran threatened and almost passed out when he heard that he wouldn’t be given any pain killing drugs.

  “Ah? Oh yeah? Then destroy it and do as you wish! Go on then! Do it now! Come and destroy the hospital. I will be saved the trouble of treating you henceforth.”


  Jing Yiran was in so much pain, yet Mu Qing didn’t do anything to help him. What made Yiran even more irritated was that Mu Qing poked his chest in the place where his ribs were broken. That was plain sadistic. Mu Qing didn’t summon for a compounder to carry him to the operation room, until he heard him screaming in pain.

  When the nurses pushed Jing Yiran into the operation room on the stretcher, Jing Yiran could be heard scolding his convoy of bodyguards. He yelled angrily, “Useless people! Your duty is to protect me. Where were you when I was so badly hurt. I don’t want to see your faces after I am discharged from the operation theatre.”


  The bodyguards continued to stare at him with a straight face, without speaking a word.

  They had been the bodyguards in Family Jing for a very long time, and were used to these tiffs between Elder Master and Second Master. Almost always, it was Elder Master who punched Second Master. Elder Master would lose his temper because of Second Master’s idiosyncrasies. Second Master would have been beaten to death, if it wasn’t for the Lord’s orders. Their father, the Lord, had forbidden both his sons from causing life threatening injuries to the other.
