"Of course there's a place for reason in this world," Ye Xingchen nodded. "But we don't need to put ourselves in this mess. I can guarantee I can cure your granddaughter. How about you leave the Liang family's affairs to me?"
"Can you heal Xiao Xiang's injuries?" Liu Wuyue was taken aback. He looked at Ye Xingchen in astonishment, somewhat incredulous.
“He was able to cure Grandpa Liu. You’ve heard of my dad, Chen Changye, right?” Chen Wenhao said. “He was so sick before that the whole of Nanjing knew about it.”
"I know you are Liu Changye's son?" Liu Wuyue was even more surprised.
“Yes, he was able to cure my dad’s serious illness, so Xiao Xiang’s injury is nothing to him.” Chen Wenhao quickly pressed on, “Besides, he usually doesn’t take action. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m his brother-in-law, I wouldn’t be able to get him to help at all.”
"I... am your brother-in-law?" Ye Xingchen looked at the boy with some confusion. Is it possible to just casually recognize someone as your brother-in-law?
Chen Wenhao smiled awkwardly. This kid had made the most of his position: "Really, Grandpa Liu, why don't you let him give it a try? Xiao Xiang is already in this state. Even if he can't cure her, there's nothing to lose, right?"
"I won't treat injuries or illnesses that I can't cure; it would ruin my own reputation," Ye Xingchen said. "Old man, please reconsider? I won't act recklessly."
"Grandpa Liu, please let him try. He's my brother-in-law, and I know his abilities," Chen Wenhao pleaded. "Besides, I'm also Xiao Xiang's classmate. I would never harm Xiao Xiang."
"Once she wakes up, we'll work together to figure out how to solve any problems that arise, okay?"
Perhaps sensing Ye Xingchen's extraordinary demeanor, or perhaps feeling that Chen Wenhao was very sincere, the old man considered it carefully and finally nodded in agreement.
“Alright, then… let’s give it a try.” Liu Wuyue glanced at Liu Xiang, who was still in a deep coma. He made up his mind and murmured, “Even if the situation gets worse, how much worse can it get? Xiao Wu is such a good child, and he has become like this.”
"Alright, Ye Xingchen, no, brother-in-law... hurry up and go see Xiao Xiang, don't delay her treatment." Chen Wenhao was overjoyed.
"You've changed your tune already?" Ye Xingchen glanced at the guy, somewhat helplessly. This kid really isn't shy at all; he's already calling me brother-in-law.
"Anyway, I know my sister likes you." Chen Wenhao wasn't embarrassed at all. He said awkwardly, "Besides, I also find you pleasing to the eye. Unlike those bastards who used to pursue my sister, they were even more useless than me."
“I’d rather you be my brother-in-law than have those bastards beat me to it.”
"..." This time it was Ye Xingchen's turn to be speechless. Only then did he realize that he could be picky about his brother-in-law.
Without further ado, he walked into the intensive care unit and reached out to pull out the tubes inserted into Liu Xiang's body. Liu Wuyue was shocked. Some of these tubes were for monitoring vital signs, while others were for intravenous infusion. But Ye Xingchen just pulled them out like that. Wouldn't that be dangerous?
He had already stood up, but then sat down again. Since he had chosen to trust Ye Xingchen, he would follow Ye Xingchen's method. Anyway, things had already come to this point, and at worst he would fight the Liang family to the death.
"Grandpa Liu, don't worry. My brother-in-law is a very skilled doctor. He can bring the dead back to life." Chen Wenhao took the opportunity to boast, afraid that the old man might feel any psychological pressure.
"Really? Can it bring the dead back to life?" Liu Wuyue turned his head and looked at Chen Wenhao with a suspicious expression.
Honestly, only a quack doctor would boast about how powerful their skills are. A normal person would never exaggerate how amazing their medical skills are or claim that they can cure cancer.
Chen Wenhao's boasting actually made Ye Xingchen seem like a wandering swordsman.
"Uh... well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's reliable nonetheless. Don't worry, old man. If it can't be cured, I'll give you my head to kick around like a ball."
“Kid, you don’t need to be so nervous. I believe your brother-in-law has the ability.” Unexpectedly, Liu Wuyue shook his head and pointed to Ye Xingchen in the monitoring room, saying, “Look at this young man, he is dignified and has an extraordinary demeanor. He himself carries a sense of righteousness.”
“This kind of person is definitely not simple. Although I am an old man, I used to be a wanderer in the martial arts world. My ability to judge people is first-class. Xiao Xiang will definitely wake up.”
"Uh, yes, it's my brother-in-law." Chen Wenhao paused for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, but he was a little speechless. Was Ye Xingchen really more handsome than him?
Despite his inner turmoil, he still hoped Liu Xiang would wake up, so he nervously watched the room, fearing something might go wrong.
Ye Xingchen began to administer acupuncture to the girl on the hospital bed. The girl was seriously injured; it seemed that the truck that had rushed towards her had its accelerator floored.
The other party was determined to kill her. The mental hospital, orphanage, and senior apartment in Huimin Community must be problematic. This girl and her father must have inadvertently discovered the other party's secret, which is why they were murdered.
It was fortunate that the old man's surname was Liu, and that this clan had considerable influence in Jinling; otherwise, the girl's father would probably have met with a terrible fate long ago.
After more than ten minutes of acupuncture and breath control, Ye Xingchen finally removed the needles from his hand. He looked at the girl quietly, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Ye Xingchen, how is it? Have you finished treating her? Why hasn't Xiao Xiang woken up yet?" Chen Wenhao was already anxious. If Ye Xingchen couldn't save Xiao Xiang, he would disown him as his brother-in-law.
Since you're someone's brother-in-law, you should at least have some skills, right? You can't just be a half-baked manager, can you?
"Her life is not in danger, but she won't wake up for the time being." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"Why?" Liu Wuyue asked anxiously.
“She has lost her soul.” Ye Xingchen pointed at Liu Xiang and said, “The three souls and seven spirits support the body’s essence, energy and spirit. When she was in the car accident, she was too badly injured and too frightened. One of her three souls and seven spirits left her body, which is why she is now unconscious.”
"What should we do then? Are we supposed to summon the spirit?" Chen Wenhao said anxiously. "Speaking of which, you know how to summon spirits, right? You're all-powerful."
"Summoning spirits?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Chen Wenhao: "The methods you're talking about are too low-level."
"Then you must have some advanced methods, right? Please hurry up, I'm getting impatient." Chen Wenhao was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. He was now pinning all his hopes on Ye Xingchen.
"Yes, but we'll have to wait until tonight." Ye Xingchen checked the time and said, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon now. After midnight, I'll find someone to retrieve her lost soul, and then she'll be able to wake up."
