After Transmigrating into a Book, I Turned the Straight Bigshot Gay (BL) - Chapter 19
On the night of the 14th, Xie Yunshen and Yi Wuyi found an abandoned house in a dilapidated old residential area in the city. They used black windproof fabric to cover all four walls.
They planned to kidnap Yang Zhongxu on the 17th and bring him here, forcing him to personally confess to the crimes he had committed. The tools and the vehicle were ready; they only needed to wait for the moment Yang Zhongxu appeared at the hospital to snatch him.
“I bet even if he racks his brain, he’d never imagine someone would dare kidnap him in front of so many netizens during a live stream.”
Yi Wuyi said, “If what you say is true and Yang Zhongxu is an underground elder of the Top Star Sect, there will definitely be Sect members protecting him in the shadows that day.”
Xie Yunshen rubbed his chin. “As long as that guy in the hoodie doesn’t show up, we should be able to pull it off.”
“But what about that man named Lin Jin? Can he just stand by and watch you take away his patient?”
Xie Yunshen had considered this as well. If the Male Lead tried to stop them, it would indeed be troublesome; once they started fighting him, time would be wasted, and they might be caught before even leaving the hospital.
Xie Yunshen said, “I’ll find a way.”
After all, the Male Lead didn’t yet know Yang Zhongxu’s true identity. Although that Long Aotian (overpowered protagonist) acted quite bitingly, he was still someone who distinguished between good and evil.
When Xie Yunshen returned to the Yan residence, he saw Third Uncle’s family sitting in the living room of the main building. Old Man Xie sat opposite them, echoing their conversation with a smile brighter than a sunflower.
The moment he walked in, the lively living room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at him.
“So lively in the middle of the night,” Xie Yunshen was a bit startled by the reception. He knew that while he was cared for in the Yan family, he didn’t usually carry enough weight for everyone to look at him like this. Moreover, shouldn’t Third Uncle be abroad right now?
“Yunshen is back.”
Even his own grandfather was being so “kind” it made his skin crawl. This was definitely wrong.
“You brat, what are you standing there for? Third Master and the Third Madam are waiting for you.” The old man’s kindness lasted less than three seconds.
“Call me Third Uncle. You’ve called me that since you were small; that’s what sounds right to me,” Third Uncle said. Seeing Xie Yunshen standing there, Third Uncle actually stood up and walked toward him.
As he walked, his left leg was visibly limping, worse than the last time they met. Third Madam stood up to support him.
Xie Yunshen walked over quickly. “Third Uncle, please, have a seat.”
“Little Xie, regarding the gardener matter you told me about last time… how did you know?”
Xie Yunshen suspected it was about that. He weighed his words: “I had a dream one night… I saw it in the dream…”
Third Uncle froze, then smiled. “A dream?”
“Was it… actually accurate?” Xie Yunshen had to play it this way. Judging by the situation, Third Uncle must have listened to his warning, escaped the “gardener catastrophe,” and come specifically to find him.
Third Uncle was a sharp man; he could see Xie Yunshen clearly had some difficulty speaking the truth, so he just smiled. “Yes. If not for your reminder, I wouldn’t be able to sit here today.”
Third Madam remarked with emotion, “I always said this child inherited Xie Ming’s backbone. Xie Ming would be so gratified in the afterlife to have such a clever son… No wonder Shiqi praises you…”
Xie Yunshen’s ears perked up at the last sentence, his spirits lifting instantly. However, Third Madam stopped right there.
Suddenly, Third Uncle’s face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat began to pour down. It looked like his old leg injury was acting up.
“You should go rest,” Xie Yunshen said.
Third Uncle waved a hand. “It’s nothing… just an old problem from the battlefield.”
Third Madam lowered her eyes. “How about I go and invite that Mr. Lin again?”
Third Uncle said bitterly, “Forget it. My condition… he might not be able to cure it anyway.” He tried to stand up again but slumped back into the sofa.
Old Man Xie was startled. “What’s wrong?”
Third Uncle’s leg began to tremble uncontrollably. His expression was almost one of shame as he forced a smile. “It’s nothing… this leg comes and goes. I’m used to it.”
A servant opened a wheelchair nearby and helped Third Uncle slowly sit down. Xie Yunshen felt a mix of emotions; a man who could still stand and walk moments ago was now forced to rely on a wheelchair within minutes.
After Third Uncle left, Third Madam lingered for a moment, smiling. “Your Third Uncle is just stubborn like that. The more people worry about him, the worse he feels. Little Xie, don’t mind him.”
Xie Yunshen nodded, looking thoughtful.
The next day, Xie Yunshen went to find the Male Lead.
According to the novel, after the Male Lead saved Old Mrs. Zhu, she gifted him a priceless luxury villa in the Tiangong Haoyuan complex—the most elite district in A-City. Xie Yunshen looked at the gates of the complex from a distance and tsk-ed. As expected of a power fantasy protagonist.
Since a direct visit would attract attention, Xie Yunshen waited on the road opposite. Soon, Lin Jin drove out on his low-key yet flashy motorcycle and spotted the familiar figure by the roadside.
It was that bodyguard from the Yan family who was “wrong” in every possible way. Lin Jin initially intended to ignore him, but he saw in his rearview mirror that the guy was leaning against his perimeter wall, motionless. It felt like having a tiger lurking outside your den—the more he thought about it, the more unsettled he felt.
With a screeching drift, Lin Jin swung the motorcycle around to Xie Yunshen’s side. He took off his helmet and leaned on the handlebars, signaling for him to speak.
“Have you felt your feet tripping lately? Has no hail fallen from the sky? No nightmares at night?”
Lin Jin was baffled by the string of questions. “…What, did you come here to play riddles with me?”
“Who told you to treat Yang Zhongxu’s cancer?”
“He found me himself.”
“He found you, so you treat him. But the Yan family’s Third Uncle is a retired soldier whose leg injury was sustained on the battlefield—he found you, so why won’t you treat him? Don’t give me any nonsense; aren’t you just eyeing Yang Zhongxu’s social status?”
These were the exact words Xie Yunshen had used to complain while reading the novel. Who knew that saying them directly to the protagonist’s face and seeing him unable to refute would feel so—satisfying!
“I don’t like anyone from the Yan family.”
“Then do you know who Yang Zhongxu is?”
“Just say it.”
“He is an underground elder of the Top Star Sect, responsible for the black market trade and organ trafficking.”
“Why should I believe you? Am I supposed to reject the opportunity I’ve earned just because of your baseless words?” Lin Jin frowned.
Xie Yunshen knew he would say that. “Before you came down the mountain, didn’t your Master tell you that the Heavenly Gate Medical Arts has ‘Three Refusals’: do not treat evildoers, do not treat traitors, and do not treat the unfilial?”
Lin Jin immediately sat up straight, utterly shocked. “Who are you?”
His shock was justified; he had never told anyone those words from his Master. How could Xie Yunshen, a total stranger, know them?
Xie Yunshen, with his “transmigration cheat code,” naturally knew. “I also know that when you were little, you stole some wine and your Master hung you over a vat of poisonous insects until they bit your butt raw.”
The shock in Lin Jin’s eyes turned into wariness, then a sharp coldness, before gradually softening. “What is your relationship with my Master?”
Xie Yunshen smiled and said nothing. In truth, this was the only useful piece of information he had left! If he said any more, he’d be exposed.
Lin Jin pondered for a long time before saying, “I will notify the hospital to cancel the consultation.”
“No need. The consultation can go on as scheduled. Just make sure on that day, you act according to the situation and don’t try to stop me.”
Xie Yunshen turned to leave.
“Wait,” Lin Jin called out. “Tell Yan Shiqi that I will treat his Third Uncle. Have the patient find me at Zhongzhou Hospital next week.”
He took the bait. Xie Yunshen suppressed his excitement, gave a quick acknowledgment, and left.
Lin Jin watched his retreating back with a grave expression. He assumed Xie Yunshen’s visit was authorized by Yan Shiqi and was surprised that the Yan family had such capabilities. As for the matter concerning the Top Star Sect, Lin Jin didn’t fully believe it; he planned to investigate it himself.
As soon as he returned to the Yan residence, before Xie Yunshen could bring the good news to Third Uncle, the butler intercepted him: “Mr. Yan is looking for you.”
“Oh, the study?” Xie Yunshen asked while sprinting up the stairs toward the second floor.
“It’s…” The butler had just turned around to answer, but Xie Yunshen had already vanished up the staircase.
“…The bedroom.”
