37: Chapter 037: A Needle to Settle the Soul
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Xuan was shocked; this old man was actually trying to take Xiao Hai away!
Although Xiao Hai was breathless at this mont, he was still lingering on the brink of death.
If the old man really took him away, that would be a huge problem!
At the critical mont, Chen Xuan didn’t have ti to think and pulled out a Silver Needle and directly inserted it into Xiao Hai’s philtrum.
The philtrum is the hall of longevity, the main point for soothing the spirit and opening the orifices.
With this needle, it would be a Soul-Stabilizing Needle!
No matter how capable the old man was, with this Soul-Stabilizing Needle in place, he wouldn’t be able to harm Xiao Hai in the slightest.
However, before Chen Xuan could take any further action, Sun Qin pushed him aside.
“What are you doing?
Xiao Hai is already in this state, and you’re still touching him!”
Chen Xuan hurriedly explained, “Sister, I truly can save your son, please believe !”
The crowd was also getting restless.
“The child is dead, how can you still save him!”
“Stop putting on an act, you just want to show off in front of Director Shen!”
“To curry favor with a leader, you won’t even spare a child, are you still human?”
The crowd’s venomous mockery stabbed at Chen Xuan like knives.
Shen Zhizhuan’s face turned ashen as he grabbed Chen Xuan by the collar, “Let
tell you, with that attitude of yours, eager for quick success, I won’t rember anything good about you!
If you dare to touch my son again, I won’t be polite!”
Chen Xuan didn’t want to waste his breath; the Soul-Stabilizing Needle could only temporarily suppress the situation.
Any further delay, and once the Soul-Stabilizing Needle lost its effect, all his efforts would be completely wasted!
“I have offended you!”
Chen Xuan pushed Shen Zhizhuan away and, waving the willow twig he had just broken off, whipped it down on Xiao Hai’s body.
“Snap, snap, snap!”
Seeing this, Shen Zhizhuan beca red-eyed with anger.
His son’s death had already left him in deep sorrow, and now this fellow was relentless, he was actually whipping a corpse!
It was utterly wicked!
“I’ll kill you!”
However, just as Shen Zhizhuan charged forward, he saw a stream of black mist flying out from Xiao Hai’s body, instantly dispersing.
Shen Zhizhuan felt a chill down his spine, for in that instant, he clearly saw an old face within the black mist!
Almost at the sa ti.
“Cough cough…”
Xiao Hai, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly coughed twice.
“Xiao Hai!”
Sun Qin, overjoyed, picked up Xiao Hai in her arms.
The entire crowd was stunned.
Returning from death!
He had truly returned from the dead!
Shen Zhizhuan couldn’t believe it all, but the ironclad facts were right in front of him, and he couldn’t help but believe them.
Rembering the black mist and the old face, Shen Zhizhuan finally understood that Chen Xuan was not a fraud, but had good intentions.
“Benefactor, please accept my bow,” Shen Zhizhuan said as he knelt before Chen Xuan.
Sun Qin, holding Xiao Hai, also knelt down.
“Young man, I misunderstood you just now, I apologize to you!”
Chen Xuan hurriedly helped them up, “No need for that, as long as the child is fine.”
“But I still don’t quite understand, what exactly happened to Xiao Hai just now?”
Everything that had just happened was too bizarre for Shen Zhizhuan to make sense of.
In the midst of the crowd, Chen Xuan took Shen Zhizhuan to a corner before he began to speak slowly, “I want to ask first, have you recently taken Xiao Hai to places like graveyards?”
“I don’t think so…” Sun Qin directly denied.
However, Shen Zhizhuan thought of sothing, “We haven’t been to any graveyards, but today on our way back from the countryside, Xiao Hai said he needed to pee, so I took him to the side of the road.
Nearby, there seed to be a few abandoned graves.
Could it be…”
“Before Xiao Hai passed out, was there any abnormal behavior?”
“There was!” Sun Qin was very certain, “Just after the food was served, Xiao Hai started eating like mad, even finishing all the pork liver he usually hates.
It was as if he hadn’t eaten for days!”
Chen Xuan nodded, “That’s correct!”
“Brother Chen, what on earth is going on?”
Chen Xuan then shared his analysis.
The old man must have attached himself to Xiao Hai when the child was urinating by the roadside, and the old man must have been lacking food before, which is why he ate voraciously through Xiao Hai.
After eating his fill, the old man fell asleep, but Sun Qin and the others mistook it for a coma.
It was precisely because he realized this that Chen Xuan had stopped Cui Ruyun from performing CPR at the ti.
Though the old man was harmless while unconscious, his resentnt would have been great once he woke up, which ultimately led to Xiao Hai falling from the building.
At the ti, everyone thought Xiao Hai was dead, but after all, it was only the second floor, and the landing was on a green belt, so the likelihood of a fatal injury to the body was very small, which was why Chen Xuan was sure that Xiao Hai could be saved!
After listening to Chen Xuan’s explanation, Shen Zhizhuan and Sun Qin suddenly realized.
“We never thought that we had mistaken a wise man for a swindler!
Brother Chen, we are really sorry!”
Chen Xuan waved his hand, “It’s normal for you not to trust
under those circumstances.
Although Xiao Hai’s body is mostly fine, it’s still best to get him checked out at the hospital.”
“Also, whenever you have the ti, rember to burn so paper money by the side of that road.
That should prevent further issues.”
“Thank you, Brother Chen.” Shen Zhizhuan clasped his fists, “Let’s leave it for today.
Once I’ve taken care of Xiao Hai’s issue, I will definitely find a way to thank you properly!”
After saying goodbye to Shen Zhizhuan, Chen Xuan rembered that he hadn’t settled the bill yet.
But when he got to the front desk, he was inford that the bill had already been paid.
“Is there a mistake?
Who paid for it?”
“It was !”
Turning around, Chen Xuan saw a tall figure in a red dress standing behind him—it was none other than the proprietress, Cui Ruyun!
“I am the proprietress of this establishnt.
May I ask how to address you?”
Cui Ruyun’s face was blooming like a peach, her eyes silkily enchanting, exuding the allure of a mature woman.
“Uh, my na is Chen Xuan.”
“Hello, Mr.
Chen, it’s a pleasure to et you!” Cui Ruyun stretched out her hand graciously.
Chen Xuan extended his hand in return and imdiately felt a slippery softness.
It must be said that this woman was very well-cared-for; her skin was practically water-bearing.
But Chen Xuan dared not have any improper thoughts and lightly shook her hand before quickly releasing it.
Cui Ruyun smiled subtly, aware that countless n in Huai City would love to court her.
But this man in front of her displayed no improper conduct, at least qualifying as a gentleman.
“Thanks to Mr.
Chen’s intervention just now, I was spared a disaster, and also due to Mr.
Chen I was not left feeling guilty over Xiao Hai for the rest of my life.
So consider this al on !”
“How can I accept this…”
“There’s no need to be shy; please accept this, Mr.
Chen, otherwise Ruyun will feel guilty.”
Seeing Cui Ruyun’s persistence, Chen Xuan found it difficult to refuse any further, “Then I will accept your gracious offer!”
“Thank you, Mr.
Chen, for giving
this honor.
Furthermore…”
Cui Ruyun handed a card to Chen Xuan, “This is a Platinum Card from our Yunshan Corporation, which includes dining, hotels, KTV, and other entertainnt establishnts under our umbrella.”
“As long as you patronize any venue under Yunshan Corporation with this Platinum Card, you’ll enjoy the most privileged treatnt!
It’s a small gesture, so please don’t refuse it, Mr.
Chen.”
Chen Xuan was sowhat surprised; he had thought Cui Ruyun was rely the proprietress of Huai City Banquet, but it seed her financial status was much greater than he had imagined!
