Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Thrown Out of Pure Water Villa
Li Yuechan hurried Long Chen, not wanting to hear Zhao Churan speak anymore.
Upon returning ho, Han Min exaggeratedly recounted how they had found Long Chen to Li Shiqi and Li Yuexin at ho.
Li Yuexin glanced at her sister, Li Yuechan, her face mocking.
Li Shiqi was imdiately furious, “Playing both sides—you get a proper lesson today.”
“Fifty million for a beating?”
Long Chen stared at Li Shiqi.
Li Shiqi paused, then froze in place.
“Umm, Mr. Li, actually it’s nothing serious. Zhao Churan is the CEO of a major company; he wouldn’t do anything absurd. Let’s just let it be.”
Han Min imdiately changed her tune.
“Long Chen, go change your clothes and co with ,” Li Yuechan said through gritted teeth.
“Where to?”
“Just go change,” Li Yuechan said sternly.
“Alright.”
Long Chen went upstairs to change.
Monts later, Long Chen and Li Yuechan left the house together.
Li Yuechan’s car had been returned from the repair shop. She drove with Long Chen at a frantic pace, so fast that it even made Long Chen sowhat anxious.
“Yuechan, where on earth are we going?”
Long Chen couldn’t help but ask.
“You’ll see when we get there.”
Li Yuechan kept a straight face and didn’t ntion Zhao Churan at all.
Twenty minutes later, when the car stopped, Long Chen finally understood where Li Yuechan had brought him.
This was Pure Water Villa of the Li family, the residence of Grandfather Li and Li Yuechan’s second uncle, Li Shixiu, and his family.
“Why have we co here?”
Long Chen was surprised.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to visit Grandpa? Don’t you want to anymore? If not, let’s go back.”
“I want to.”
“If you do, follow .”
Li Yuechan led the way.
The two walked into Pure Water Villa. Inside, the architectural style was classically elegant; this was genuinely the Li family’s ancestral ho.
“Second uncle.”
Li Yuechan looked up, saw soone, sped up her steps, and greeted him warmly.
“Ah, Yuechan, what brings you here?”
Li Shiyin saw Li Yuechan and responded coolly before falling silent.
This attitude was within Li Yuechan’s expectations.
“Second uncle, this is Long Chen. Do you rember him?”
“I don’t rember. Are you still not divorced?” Li Shiyin feigned surprise.
Li Yuechan was montarily at a loss for words, fearing that this line of discussion might soon lead Long Chen into a conflict with her second uncle.
She quickly diverted the topic, “Second uncle, I brought Long Chen to visit Grandpa.”
“Your grandfather has been in a coma for half a year now, what’s there to see? You should go back.”
Li Shiyin waved them off, clearly trying to dismiss them.
Li Yuechan frowned, “Second uncle, what’s wrong with
wanting to visit Grandpa?”
“As you wish.”
Li Shiyin turned and walked away, his actions and attitudes surprising Long Chen.
“You don’t seem very close as a family,” Long Chen said.
“Do I need you to tell ?” Li Yuechan rolled her eyes at Long Chen and said with a bitter smile, “Ever since my father took us away from here, unable to endure being targeted by my uncle—who has since controlled the family’s finances—grandfather has been in a coma, Uncle covering the sky with one hand. He disapproves of us probably because he’s worried we’ll co back to the old house.”
“Never mind him, let’s go see Grandpa,” Long Chen said.
“Okay.”
Li Yuechan led Long Chen to a rather secluded room.
The room was very bleak. Upon entering, a lonely elderly man lay in a coma on the bed with no one attending to him.
Li Yuechan walked closer, her eyes slightly reddened.
Long Chen sat down, thought for a mont, and said, “Yuechan, go outside for a walk, let
check on Grandfather’s condition.”
“How co I didn’t know you could do this?” Li Yuechan glared at Long Chen and said through gritted teeth, “The reason I brought you here now is to make you clarify in front of Grandfather whether you have any relationship with that Zhao Churan.”
“We are friends,” Long Chen replied.
“Then you promise that you won’t see her again.”
Li Yuechan said sternly.
“You go out first; we’ll talk later.”
Long Chen at this mont was eager to understand the cause of the old man’s coma.
“Jerk, you better think it through.”
Li Yuechan stood up, walked out of the room and closed the door.
Long Chen took the old Mr. Li’s hand and carefully took his pulse.
At the sa ti, a faint light shone from Long Chen’s eyes, making the old man’s physical condition transparent in his sight.
Minutes passed, and Long Chen’s brow knotted tightly.
Old Mr. Li was riddled with illness, his organs failing.
And the cause of his unconsciousness was a blood clot in his brain, pressing on nerves.
This made Long Chen feel very thorny; at such an old age, even if he were to go to the best hospital in the world for surgery, the risk of death would be high.
Probably that was also why the Li Family didn’t dare to send the old man to the hospital, and could only hire private doctors to keep him alive at ho.
However, in Long Chen’s view, there was still hope.
He had inherited dical expertise from a dical immortal; to treat the old man’s illness, the chances of success were not small if he prepared thoroughly.
After thinking, Long Chen got up, opened the door, and said to Li Yuechan at the door, “I plan to stay here for a while, you can go back first.”
“Why?” Li Yuechan didn’t understand.
“I want to try and see if I can wake Grandfather; I have many things I want to ask him personally.”
Long Chen said softly.
“No.” Li Yuechan imdiately refused, “Long Chen, this is not a joke; if sothing goes wrong leading to Grandfather’s mishap, we can’t explain it.”
“I am confident; I won’t act recklessly, trust
this ti.”
Long Chen said sternly.
“No.” Li Yuechan still refused resolutely.
Long Chen gave a wry smile and said, “I won’t do it myself; I will ask my master to help, he is a renowned expert, but I can’t reveal his na.”
“Is that so?” Li Yuechan was skeptical.
“If you don’t believe , I can take your pulse right now; if what I say is right, will you trust
then?”
“Go ahead.”
Li Yuechan stretched out her hand.
Long Chen took Li Yuechan’s pulse; soon after, he withdrew his hand and said, “You had stomach trouble last night, and you still feel like going to the bathroom now, right?”
“This…”
Li Yuechan’s face turned completely red, “How… how did you know?”
“Go back, leave this to , and by the way, just ntion to Second Uncle, but don’t say I want to save the old man.” Long Chen said.
“Alright, if there’s anything, you must call
imdiately.”
“Go on, go on.”
As Li Yuechan left, Long Chen also left the old man’s room.
Because saving the old man required many preparations.
He had to practice various needle techniques from the dical immortal heritage.
The old man’s illness required the Golden Needle Acupoint technique to dissolve the blood clots, which might possibly awaken him.
But as soon as Long Chen left the room, he saw Li Shiyin coming toward him with several people.
“Second Uncle.”
Long Chen greeted.
“Who is your Second Uncle? You, get out of Pure Water Villa imdiately.”
Li Shiyin said sternly.
“Second Uncle, I just want to stay here for a few days to look after Grandfather.” Long Chen said.
“Has the Li Family run out of people? Do we need you, an outsider, to look after the old man? You guys, grab him and throw him out of Pure Water Villa.”
Li Shiyin said with a cold laugh.
As Li Shiyin spoke, several young n imdiately charged toward Long Chen with a fierce look.
