Meanwhile at an ancient-looking mansion.
In a grand and spacious bedroom, a cluster of people was gathered. There were more than a dozen of them, each looking worried and anxious.
If Qin Feng were here, he would have recognized one of them, namely Liu Xinran whom he met back in the pharmacy.
Liu Xinran stood at the head of the group. Her sweaty hands were tightly clenched into fists as she looked at the elderly man lying in the bed.
Next to the bed stood a middle-aged man in a white robe. He was sweating heavily and looked anxious as well. He started to feel desperate and terrified as he watched the constantly dropping number on the heartbeat detector by the bedside.
The dying man was called Liu Canghai, Liu Xinran’s grandpa. He was a prestigious elderly revolutionary and had a strong background. No, it was more than that. Even those important officers in Binhai City would have to behave obediently and politely in front of this man.
The middle-aged man’s name was Li Yongjun and was Liu Canghai’s personal doctor and the main physician. Confronted with the dying old man, he was mired with a lot of stress.
As far as he could tell, Liu Canghai was on his last breaths and could barely hold on. He was dying of old age, with all the inner organs breaking down. It was an omen for someone who was about to die.
Li Yongjun had explained all of these to Liu Xinran and the group, but she refused to accept it. Before Liu Canghai collapsed, he was still able to practice Tai Chi and had smashed a stone board.
As far as Liu Xinran could see, Liu Canghai was such a strong old man. He could not just die of old age out of the blue. Something was wrong!
Liu Xinran did not believe the conclusion at all.
“Ms. Liu.” Li Yongjun had no way out. He turned to Liu Xinran and said helplessly with a shivering voice, “I am telling the truth, please believe me. Old Master is not sick, just dying. I can’t save a dying man!”
“Ms. Liu, please don’t trouble Professor Li anymore.” Another elderly man in his 70s stepped out. He was also a master of Chinese medicine hired at a high price by Liu Xinran. He enjoyed a great reputation in the South and started defending Li Yongjun. “We have tried our best, Ms. Liu. Everyone’s death is preordained. Please get ready for the funeral.”
“Shut up!” Liu Xinran shouted. She just could not take in the bullshit the two doctors said. “How many times do I have to tell you? I can accept if he were dying of old age, but there have to be some signs! I told you many times that he suddenly got ill. He was even practicing Tai Chi before the symptoms broke out!”
Liu Xinran felt like she was going crazy. Li Yongjun and the master of Chinese medicine were both expert-level figures, but they turned out to be so incapable.
She felt even more desperate when she saw the numbers on the monitor. If the situation continued like this, Liu Canghai would definitely die.
“There will be a chance. There definitely will be!” Liu Xinran racked her mind as beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. Finally, she thought of the young man she had run into in the pharmacy earlier.
That man called Qin Feng had left her his phone number. Maybe he could come and check her grandfather?
Liu Xinran had no other way. She had to ask any doctor she could find for help.. In the end, she took out her phone and called Qin Feng, hoping that he could give her some hope…
