Ye Qingqing glared fiercely at Zhu Zi and growled, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"There's nothing you can do even if I tell you," Zhu Zi scoffed dismissively.

Ye Qingqing was speechless. She really had no other choice, but at least she could have given the Zhuang family a heads-up so they wouldn't be caught off guard like they are now.

"What do we do now? Can we still get the Gu worm out?" Ye Qingqing knew nothing about Gu worms.

Zhu Zi took Zhuang Zidong's pulse, her expression unusually serious. Everyone watched quietly, not daring to make a sound to disturb her. Zhuang Shicheng, unaware of Zhu Zi's background, whispered to Ye Qingqing.

“His name is Zhu Zi. He’s very skilled at detoxification. He was the one who saw through the poison that the Second Young Master was afflicted with,” Ye Qingqing said truthfully, adding, “Zhu Zi and Yin Yu have an irreconcilable blood feud.”

"Will my son be alright?"

When it came to his son's life or death, Zhuang Shicheng lost the composure of a billionaire and became as anxious and confused as any ordinary father.

"It's hard to say right now, but I'll do my best." Ye Qingqing didn't dare to make a promise. Zhuang Shicheng's face paled, and he swayed, almost fainting.

Zhuang Zifeng helped him up, his expression worried. Unlike the power struggles in wealthy families depicted on TV, the Zhuang brothers were very close and harmonious. With their elder brother's life hanging in the balance, Zhuang Zifeng wished he could take his brother's place and suffer instead.

After Zhu Zi finished the examination, she said, "His life can be saved, but his offspring are uncertain."

Zhuang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Please save my son, please!"

Faced with life, nothing else mattered. Moreover, his youngest son, Zhuang Zifeng, had recovered, ensuring the continuation of the Zhuang family line. After weighing the options, Zhuang Shicheng relaxed his tense nerves.

Zhu Zi walked over and said coldly to Ye Qingqing, "Get more blood, just like yesterday."

After saying that, he sat down and remained silent.

Ye Qingqing understood what he meant. She gritted her teeth and cut her wrist artery. Blood gushed out, and Zhuang Zidong's body quickly reacted. Ye Qingqing and Wuchen exchanged a glance, and Wuchen nodded slightly, beginning to summon the Gu worms.

This time, the exorcism took longer, but at least the worms were brought out. They were much larger than the two Zhuang Zifeng had brought out before, and looked even more ferocious. As soon as they came out, they took flight. Fortunately, Lu Mo was prepared and caught them with a net.

Zhuang Zidong was still unconscious, but his complexion was much better than before. The doctors accompanying the Zhuang family were dumbfounded and could not believe their eyes. How could two such big and ugly worms have crawled into his body?

The world is indeed full of wonders, the doctors thought to themselves, marveling at the incredible things that happen around them.

Ye Qingqing examined Zhuang Zidong's body and found that, just as Zhu Zi had said, his life had been saved, but his kidneys were severely damaged, making it difficult for him to have children in the future, though it couldn't be said that there was no hope at all.

But she didn't tell Zhuang Shicheng this. She decided to wait until she had completed her studies before saying so, so as not to disappoint him.

"It's alright. Just recuperate like the Second Young Master. However, the Eldest Young Master has suffered severe losses, so he shouldn't overexert himself for a month. It's best for him to rest at home," Ye Qingqing instructed.

Zhuang Shicheng was very grateful. He had his servants carry Zhuang Zidong to his room to rest and took out a check, handing it to Ye Qingqing. "Thank you, Miss Ye, for saving my son. This is a small medical fee."

Ye Qingqing took the check. Although she was prepared, she was still startled by the zero on it. The richest man's move was indeed extraordinary.

One, two... there are seven zeros in total!

The consultation fee of one million was beyond Ye Qingqing's expectations, so she hurriedly returned the check to Zhuang Shicheng.
