Gu Ziheng, who had just looked fierce, immediately nodded obediently. “Oh.”

He reached into his pocket, took out a mask, and put it on. Then, he glared fiercely at the two men on the ground.

With such a commotion, someone had already quietly gone outside to find the club staff.

The security manager arrived quickly with a group of security personnel. He looked at Lu Miao, who appeared fragile but composed, and then glanced at the two burly men on the ground who looked like they could knock out a cow. He was completely puzzled.

Weren’t they fighting?

“What are you doing?”

Lu Miao casually took a tissue from the table and wiped her hands leisurely.

She calmly said, “We’re playing a game.”

The security manager turned his head questioningly and looked at the guy in black clothes beside him. “Is that so?”

The guy in black clothes, seeing so many people backing him up, gained some confidence. He was about to stand up and accuse Lu Miao of talking nonsense, but Lu Miao casually made a slight movement with her fingertips. The guy in black clothes caught a glimpse of a silver glint, thought of the pitiful state of the guy with the earring, and hastily swallowed his words. Trembling, he nodded, “Yes, we were just playing a game.”

The security manager was speechless. Do young people play this wild these days?

After warning the group and telling them to be more restrained in public, he left directly.

Lu Miao bent down, removed the silver needle from the throat of the guy with the earring, and then grabbed his arm, applying a bit of force. The bones in his arm made a crackling sound as they returned to their original state.

The guy with the earring endured the pain and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong.”

“Get lost,” Lu Miao said indifferently.

The two of them, feeling as if they had been granted amnesty, immediately crawled away.

Lu Miao turned her head to look at Lu Yinan. He had bloodshot eyes, stubble on his face, a haggard expression, and his clothes were wrinkled. The smell of smoke and alcohol emanated from him.

Clearly, he had been holed up here for several days.

Gu Ziheng immediately pulled Lu Miao back and said disdainfully, “How long has it been since you went home? You stink.”

They had directly booked a VIP suite upstairs, took Lu Yinan up, and allowed him to freshen up. They also had someone send over clean clothes.

After washing up and changing his clothes, Lu Yinan came out and saw Lu Miao sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. There was a row of acupuncture tools on the table in front of her. He hesitated for a moment, then approached and opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he didn’t know how to start.

Lu Miao didn’t ask much either. She simply said, “Your hand.” Lu Yinan stretched out his injured hand towards her.

It had been over ten days, and his hand was still wrapped in gauze.

Lu Miao unwrapped the gauze, revealing numerous wounds on the back of his hand. The external injuries had mostly healed, but in a few places where the injuries were severe, she could see several stitches that had not yet been removed.

After assessing the condition of the wounds, it was clear that the more serious ones had likely affected the tendons inside.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of injury would gradually heal. However, for a professional esports player who relied on their hands for a living, what mattered most was the dexterity and speed of their fingers. This hand was basically useless for gaming.

This was also the reason for Lu Yinan’s significant decline in performance lately.

She picked a thin needle from the row of acupuncture tools and pricked it into the acupoint one finger’s length away from his joint. She gently twirled the needle back and forth, slowly inserting it.

Lu Yinan’s originally stiff fingers involuntarily relaxed.

Lu Miao calmly spoke, “It’s not too severe. The tendons are damaged, but not too badly. For now, avoid using your hand and receive a few more acupuncture treatments. It should fully recover and not affect your esports career.”

Lu Yinan’s eyes, which had been dull these past few days, instantly lit up. Excited, he grabbed Lu Miao’s hand. “Can it really fully recover without any impact?”

Gu Ziheng beside them said discontentedly, “If you don’t believe her, you can find other doctors.”

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to take Lu Miao away.

Lu Yinan quickly interjected, “I don’t doubt her. It’s just that… I couldn’t believe it for a moment.”

He had already consulted many experts in this field, and their conclusion was that after recovery, his hand would be fine for regular activities but not for intense finger movements required in esports.

In other words, his esports career would basically come to an end.

These past few days, he had been going all out, practicing game after game day and night in front of the computer.

However, the results were disastrous. He could hardly even tie with anyone.

Now, Lu Miao suddenly told him that it could be treated and that he could continue his esports career without any impact. How could he believe it all at once?

“I’ll return to Luo City in two days. Sort things out here these next two days and come with me to receive acupuncture treatment. After your hand has recovered, you can come back,” Lu Miao said as she tidied up the tools on the table and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Lu Yinan stood still, hesitating for a moment before finally speaking up, “Aren’t you going to ask me what exactly happened to my injury?”

“If I ask, will you tell me?” Lu Miao looked up at him.

If she hadn’t coincidentally encountered him here today, Lu Yinan probably would have never let her know the severity of his hand injury.

“Get your injury treated first. When you’re ready to talk about the rest, let me know,” she said.

Lu Yinan pursed his lips and ultimately didn’t say anything.

Today was supposed to be a small celebration, and the key members of the program were still present. Gu Ziheng couldn’t leave now, so he glared at Lu Yinan and said, “Can your hand still drive? If anything happens to Miao Miao, I won’t spare you.”

Lu Yinan also didn’t like Gu Ziheng. He always felt that Gu Ziheng had ill intentions towards his sister.

“She’s my sister, not yours. Even if something happens to me, I won’t let her get hurt.”

While the two were still at odds, itching to start a fight, Lu Miao had already taken the driver’s seat.

“Get in the car.”

Both of them immediately closed their mouths. Lu Yinan obediently turned around and sat in the passenger seat.

Lu Miao lazily waved at Gu Ziheng, then stepped on the accelerator. The initially heavy G-force caused the car to drift, creating a swift motion that startled Gu Ziheng. With a whoosh, the car raced out.

Leaving Gu Ziheng standing there, he was engulfed in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

He had never seen Lu Miao drive before. He had always assumed she couldn’t, but just now, it seemed like Lu Miao was even more skilled than him. That stylish drift—was that something a sixteen-year-old rural girl would know how to do?

Lu Miao’s belongings were still at the hotel. After dropping off Lu Yinan, she declined his offer to stay and went back to the hotel directly.

The knowledge competition had already ended, and the results would be announced in a few days. Principal Xu had taken Xia Ziyan and the others back to Luo City.

After returning, Lu Miao immediately dialed a number on her phone..
