This shadow can move anywhere within Old Lius brain! This just isnt scientific! Doctor Wang felt a little excited as even he didnt dare to believe the imagery from the MRI machine.
According to common sense, no matter what kind of substance the shadow comprises, just the fact that it was mobile should have turned Old Lius brain into mush already. He had no chances of survival. Yet he had only lost consciousness and didnt show any life-threatening signs except for weak vital signs.
Doctor Wang I cant understand your words. Can you explain it more clearly?
Thats I think Mr. Liu should see it yourself!
Soon after, Liu Shan witnessed a mind-numbing scene on the display monitor. An amorphous, egg-sized shadow moved at a casual pace inside his fathers brain. It didnt seem like a living organism at all.
Parasites have existed within the patients brain in several cases, but its impossible for a parasite to move so quickly and even more so for it to have an amorphous nature. We cannot determine the nature of this shadow and hence cannot start any kind of treatnt. Its because even if we operated on the brain, were incapable of extracting it properly! Doctor Wang looked ashad as his words were akin to declaring that even the hospital couldnt do anything about Elder Lius condition.
Is there any institution or a specialist that can find a solution? Liu Shan still held so hope.
Although there are a lot of neurologists better than in the world, I believe none of them can find a thod to treat Old Liu. This case goes against all known dical theories and doesnt conform to science!
Doesnt conform to science?! A flash of realization dawned upon Liu Shan and made him look at his daughter, Xueer. You must find Xia Yan and bring him here!
Y-Yes! Liu Xueer felt overwheld too. The words doesnt conform to science from Doctor Wang had impacted her significantly as the matter had finally spiraled back to the occult.
Songxian Bridge.
Brother Hu was packing up when a few people stopped in front of his place. He recognized one of them as the girl that had bought two Soul Ataraxia Stones from Little Xia for 10,000. Before he could call out to her, the girl asked anxiously, Uncle, wheres the student that had a stall beside your place in the afternoon?
Didnt he leave with you? Brother Hu stated dazedly.
He didnt co back?
Nope.
Do you know him?
It was his first ti coming here today. I only know his surna is Xia and that hes a student, nothing more.
Liu Xueer left Songxian Bridge in despair as this clue led to a dead end. She pondered for a mont and then called her father, Dad, Xia Yan might be a university student. Can you ask soone to find out which universities have students with this na?
I had a al with Chief Li from the Education Bureau once. Let call him.
Five minutes later, after getting a promise that the Liu Conglorate would donate ten million for the operating costs of the Education Bureau, a list attached with photos had reached Liu Xueers phone.
There were nine students nad Xia Yan overall in the educational institutes of Chengdu. Liu Xueer had recognized her target from the severely photoshopped images with a glance.
Take to Sihe University!
Xia Yan did not have an accurate estimation of wealthy folks capabilities. He believed it would be hard for the Liu family to find him without asking Fang Xiangdong. But he hadnt conversed with Fang Xiangdong inside the Liu familys villa, so they werent aware that the two knew each other.
Hence, Xia Yan estimated that it would take the Liu family at least a few days to find a trail leading to him and another few days before they found him.
He even wondered whether to leave a clue behind for the Liu family lest they couldnt discover him. If Elder Liu died before they found him, he would lose the opportunity to sell his Soul Ataraxia Stones.
He didnt know that it wouldnt even take an hour for them to find him with the right mindset.
Xia Yan had just begun ditating to convert the undead elents in the pendant into magic power when soone knocked on their rooms door and woke up all the inhabitants.
WHO IS IT? Even an Immortal would rage if woken up just after they had fallen asleep, let alone Qin Jian, whose location was closest to the door.
Its , Li Xiaofei! A voice replied.
WRONG DOOR! Qin Jian answered back.
Im your coordinator! Hou Xiaotian jumped down from the bed and rushed to open the door, Sir, what brings you here so late?
Xia Yan, Qin Jian, and Zhao Qiang sweated buckets as they still hadnt known who the coordinator was.
Just sothing trivial. Hows your father? Li Xiaofei asked Hou Xiaotian with a smile.
Hes still at the hospital. They havent decided on the treatnt program yet! Hou Xiaotian answered gloomily.
All will be well! Li Xiaofei consoled him.
Thank you!
Is Xia Yan in the dorm? Li Xiaofei asked after conversing for a mont.
Sir, Im here. Xia Yan got down and donned his clothes. He felt a bit surprised as he didnt know why the coordinator was looking for him.
Its good youre here! Li Xiaofei let out a relaxed sigh, I got woken up by a call from the Dean of the departnt just now too. He told to look for you!
What is it? Xia Yan asked in amazent.
The others also looked at Li Xiaofei with astonishnt. It was already past midnight now, so they wondered what major incident required Xia Yans presence.
Soone called President Xie, and he called the Dean, who then called to look for you. I got told that soone surnad Liu is looking for you! Li Xiaofei couldnt make sense of the matter either. He wondered what kind of background this freshman called Xia Yan had that he could make President Xie act in the middle of the night.
Well, damn! Xia Yan, you arent the kid of so bigshot bureaucrat, right? They are giving you so much face! Zhao Qiang exclaid.
You think I am? Xia Yan forced a smile. He hadnt expected that the Liu family would find him so quickly and felt the omnipotence of money. He contemplated for a mont then said, Sir, I must trouble you to tell that person its already late now so they can find in the morning if they need anything.
B-But its a directive from the President! Li Xiaofei felt stunned and asserted imdiately. The other side was soone that could even make President Xie act. Xia Yan wasnt leaving any face for President Xie by refusing to et them right now. Li Xiaofei wondered whether he didnt care much about President Xie too.
How about this? Do you have that persons number, Sir? Ill talk to them personally. Xiao Yan didnt wish to offend the President too, lest his university days beca full of troubles.
Wait for a mont, Ill ask for it After realizing that Xia Yan wasnt kidding with him, Li Xiaofei called the Dean. From the looks of it, it seed like the Dean was admonishing him over the phone. After a while, he noted down a number and handed it over to Xia Yan. Sigh! I got reprimanded badly!
Xia Yan didnt feel good too. [Does the Liu family also suffer from affluenza? Do they really think the entire world revolves around them?]
He took the number, dialed it, and asked in a rude tone, Hi, whos looking for ?
Xia Yan, its , Liu Xueer, A worried voice ca through from the other side.
What is it?
My grandfather got admitted to the hospital. Can you co to look at him?
Im not free. I am heading to sleep now.
Xia Yan, my grandfather
Its your grandfather, not mine! Xia Yan interrupted her rudely, Also, didnt I give you back your money? Why are you looking for for the after-service now?
He had already concluded that he shouldnt have gone with Liu Xueer in the afternoon. Since he had got the money, he shouldnt have bothered with the after-service and whatnot. He had got duped by this!
Xia Yan, Im sorry. I also didnt think it would end up like that Liu Xueer felt anxious. It seed like Xia Yan was on the verge of erupting. If he acted hotheadedly and didnt give two hoots about it, her grandfather would have no hope left at all.
Hold it! Xia Yans heart almost softened after hearing the lovely lady apologize to him but then had second thoughts. [Is there a man unmoved by a beautiful womans pleas? No! But for what reason should I toil hard for you?]
Im exhausted. Call in the morning! After thinking it over again, Xia Yan decided not to end the conversation on an unpleasant note as he still hadnt sold out his Soul Ataraxia Stones.
O-Okay. Ill co to find you in the morning! Liu Xueer didnt dare to force him, and helplessly agreed with him.
Co late since I plan to sleep in. Xia Yan stated. On the other side, Liu Xueer clenched her teeth. If Xia Yan were in front of her, she would have bitten a chunk of flesh off his arm.
Xia Yan suddenly recalled a matter just when he was about to hang the call, Oh yeah. Dont use the president or the dean to threaten again! I wish to study in peace here!
Beep-Beep! Liu Xueer hung up.
So rude. Ill just have to bleed you dry tomorrow then! Xia Yan grumbled resentfully and switched off his phone. When he raised his head, he found that the others were looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
Xia Yan, was that a beautiful woman looking for you? Zhao Qiangs eyes lit up as he asked this.
We can consider her one. Xia Yan nodded as Liu Xueer was pretty.
Is it fine to act so rudely towards a pretty woman? You will remain a loner your entire life! Qin Jian sighed.
Friends, its true that we ought to pamper won, but its not like she will marry , so why the hell should I pamper soone elses wife? Xia Yan patted Qin Jians shoulder and expressed his heartfelt thoughts.
That sounds reasonable Qin Jian nodded.
Dont listen to his bullshit. Its more interesting to pamper soone elses wife! Zhao Qiangs gaze turned into a leer as he smiled indecently.
Both Xia Yan and Qin Jian gave him the middle finger.
Sir, sorry for making you run around so late! After they had delivered Li Xiaofei out from the dormitory, Xia Yan apologized to the coordinator.
Its fine, I dont bla you. Li Xiaofei wanted to say sothing, but he left without saying a word.
Xia Yan, explain whats your relationship with that girl! A woman who can make President Xie act in the dead of night is no simple woman! After closing the door, Zhao Qiang and Qin Jian pounced towards him. Although Hou Xiaotian said nothing, he too held curiosity in his gaze.
Theres nothing between us! Lets sleep now! Xia Yan shooed them away and turned off the lights.
