Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Masters, what’s wrong with my dad?” In the corner of her eye, Lin Jings.h.i.+ saw that the experts and famous doctors, who had gone out for a meeting, had come in, and quickly greeted them nervously.
The head doctor was in a bit of a quandary and forced a smile. Lin Chongchang, a tyc.o.o.n in the antique jade industry, was lying on the bed. He was quite renowned in the capital. Even the largest antique jade shop he opened in Fuzhou was merely for fun. Seeing such a high-ranking figure, they naturally wanted to cure and attend to him at once. The benefits would also be great.
Sadly, he just had a long discussion with those doctors outside and couldn’t come up with anything. After their examination, except for Lin Chongchang being unconscious, his heart, and everything seemed to be normal. They couldn’t detect any disease at all.
The head doctor played Tai Chi to placate, “Miss Lin, please be patient. We still have to wait for the examination results. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to draw conclusions.”
Lin Jings.h.i.+ was a little disappointed. This was the outcome of their long discussion, but she still had to wait.
Several famous doctors rushed in and out. Lin Jings.h.i.+ wasn’t a 3-year-old child. Seeing their att.i.tude without identifying the cause after such a long deliberation, she was able to guess why.
Her face changed drastically. She began to look anxious and panicked, immediately realizing that her father’s illness was very complicated, such that these famous doctors couldn’t even diagnose it!
Zhu Bocheng watched in dismay as those famous doctors left. Obviously, he didn’t expect that those experts wouldn’t even be able to find out what ailment he had. He glanced at Lin Jings.h.i.+, who had lost her wits and went out dejectedly to make a phone call. He approached Chi Shuyan’s ear and asked expectantly, “Sister Shuyan, can you see something?”
“So what if I can see something or not?” Chi Shuyan stuffed a large White Rabbit candy into her mouth, her tone flat and indifferent. Since the other party didn’t seek her help, she wasn’t in a rush. After all, they had nothing to do with her.
“Sister Shuyan, don’t be angry. Sister Jings.h.i.+ doesn’t know your abilities, so she underestimated you.” Zhu Bocheng winked at her. “Unlike me. All in all, there aren’t many people left with discerning eyes like me. I’m sure you can see something.”
Zhu Bocheng saw that Chi Shuyan didn’t speak up, and immediately promised, “Don’t worry. If you can really wake up Uncle Lin, the 10 million remuneration we talked about earlier still stands.”
Chi Shuyan’s round eyes instantly lit up and her cheeks puffed up to confirm. “You said it. Give me 10 million when he wakes up. You can’t go back on your word.”
Zhu Bocheng was between tears and laughter. He just lured her out with those words when she didn’t respond. When it came to money, her eyes lit up. I couldn’t tell that this little girl was so money-mad. He nodded. “Of course. Don’t you see? Zhenbai will testify.”
Chi Shuyan’s eyes s.h.i.+fted over, just in time to meet Qi Zhenbai’s sidelong, sharp gaze. His cold and sharp face was slightly tilted, his jaw raised in a cold and resolute curve, without a hint of emotion on his face. But was that gaze sizing her up? His scrutiny wasn’t as sharp as before.
Chi Shuyan quickly averted her gaze and curled her lips dismissively. She walked forward and looked at Lin Chongchang lying on the hospital bed, and she lifted his eyelids and mouth to check his condition.
“What are you doing?” Lin Jings.h.i.+ finished her phone call with Fan Ming, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw the strange little girl “manhandling” her father. She questioned furiously as she advanced and pushed Chi Shuyan, stumbling and almost falling over.
Fortunately, the person behind her helped her with both hands. The process was very short, and when she stood firm, he let go. Chi Shuyan thought it was Zhu Bocheng. She turned around and saw the man wrapped in purple qi. The tip of her nose sniffed his woody and refres.h.i.+ng scent mixed with the pleasant smell of herbal medicine.
Chi Shuyan was startled. When had Qi Zhenbai walked so close to her? Her dark eyes glanced at the wisps of purple qi surrounding him and she felt giddy. She couldn’t resist licking her lips with a gleam of longing. If only all this purple qi was hers! Chi Shuyan bit her lip and forcibly restrained the urge to pounce on him.
Qi Zhenbai casually bowed his head and saw that the black and white of Chi Shuyan eyes were hazy with longing. She nibbled on her plump, pink lips as if struggling with her urge to pounce.
Qi Zhenbai hooked his lips slightly, as if he had expected this. His clear eyes turned dark as they roamed over her plump and full peach, petal-like lips. He suddenly wanted to cover them and find out what they really tasted like.
“Sister Jings.h.i.+, I’m the one who let Sister Shuyan take a look. Since those experts can’t see anything, why don’t you let her try it?” The sound of Zhu Bocheng’s voice interrupted Qi Zhenbai’s pleasant thoughts. With a faintly discernible frown, his tall, upright body retreated a few step backs without batting an eyelid. He seemed doubtful and perplexed, and the emotions beneath his eyes were like a bottomless pit.
“Bocheng, I know you mean well, but the situation is chaotic enough, so don’t add to it. Fan Ming will soon contact a group of more capable specialists. I believe everything will be solved easily,” Lin Jings.h.i.+ looked weary and said in a fretful and impatient manner.
Zhu Bocheng still wanted to argue, but Lin Jings.h.i.+ closed her eyes tiredly and crossed her hands in refusal. “Let my dad be quiet.”
Zhu Bocheng was a little p.i.s.sed off at Lin Jings.h.i.+’s refusal to cooperate, but what could he do? After all, Lin Jings.h.i.+ was Lin Chongchang’s daughter. He couldn’t overstep his bounds, so he looked at Chi Shuyan in apology.
Chi Shuyan didn’t look at Zhu Bocheng and rudely sneered. “If you really let the group of experts, who your husband contacted, come and look at him, your father will probably die faster!”
Lin Jings.h.i.+’s eyes quickly widened in fury. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“It’s really this grandfather’s greatest misfortune to have a daughter like you.” Chi Shuyan shook her head and shot with lightning speed. She circulated her internal True Qi, and with her index and middle fingers close together, moved along Lin Chongchang’s acupuncture points and cut his fingers.
Lin Jings.h.i.+ shook with fury at Chi Shuyan’s words. Seeing that she was casually attacking her father, she was about to move forward to stop her, but Chi Shuyan was prepared this time. She raised her left hand and swept Lin Jings.h.i.+ aside.
Chi Shuyan held her breath and let her circulating True Qi flow through Lin Chongchang’s body. In the blink of an eye, the scarlet blood trickling down from the cut on his fingers turned black and a foul odor instantly permeated the ward.
Lin Jings.h.i.+’s back hurt when she was thrown against the wall. Enraged and utterly discomfited, she was about to question and block her menacingly, but when she saw the black, tainted blood flowing out of her father’s fingertips, she was stupefied. Even her anger was put aside as she looked blankly at this Wuxia-like healing of forcing out poisonous blood.
Lin Haoxing, who just came running to the door, saw Chi Shuyan at a glance and skidded to a stop. His eyes widened and his cheeks immediately flushed red in excitement. His childish voice shot up and he yelled, “Older Sister!” He turned his head and rushed to Lin Jings.h.i.+ excitedly. “Mom, this Sister is the one who saved me last time. Sister is awesome!”
