In contrast, it was only natural that these elders began to favor the second branch of the Zong family after the elder suddenly became seriously ill and was admitted to the medical cabin.
However, when Zong Ruoning appeared, this bias was broken.
Now the mistress of the second house, Princess Tan Tai Jin Yu, had taken all her people away. In Mr. Zong's ward, there were only the embarrassed elders of the Zong clan and the loyal subordinates who came back with Zong Ruoning.
Zong Ruoning did not criticize these elders harshly. He simply bowed and said, "Thank you for your help."
"When my grandfather recovers, I will invite you all to be my guests, and I will apologize to you all."
The elders hurriedly said, "Young Master, you are too polite!"
"Young Master, what you said really makes us old men feel ashamed!"
"Young Master, we really didn't know you were safe and sound... Madam Zong Er sent someone to call us earlier, saying that you had an accident in the wormhole. When the old man heard the news, he collapsed..."
"We are also concerned about the interests of the Zong clan."
Zong Ruoning nodded: "I understand. I know everyone is doing this for the good of the Zong family."
"But the most important thing to me right now is my grandfather's illness."
"Please forgive my neglect. I have already invited the best imperial physician in the imperial capital to treat my grandfather."
This is almost the same as serving tea and seeing off guests.
These elders actually wanted to know how Zong Ruoning managed to avoid the accident in the wormhole.
As far as they know, no interstellar spacecraft escaped the cosmic gravitational wave explosion that day.
Zong Ruoning didn't mean to hide anything, and simply said, "I was on board the ship at the time, but something suddenly happened, so I went down to deal with it before the spaceship took off."
"I was planning to take the second interstellar spaceship back."
"The result... well, I really didn't expect it."
Of course, Zong Ruoning did not tell Xia Chujian about what he had reminded him of, nor did he tell her about his own special ability.
It seems that his keeping it secret saved his life.
Otherwise, the princess probably wouldn't have arranged a sniper to deal with him...
She would use a high-level genetic evolver to launch a mental attack on him directly.
It’s just that high-level genetic evolvers, especially S-level ones, are very careful about their reputation.
It’s okay to let them kill ordinary people, but if they want to kill the heir of the Zong family, then I respectfully refuse.
Therefore, if the princess knew that Zong Ruoning had become an S-level genetic evolver, she would definitely find a super S-level genetic evolver to deal with him.
But the price she has to pay is definitely extraordinary.
There was no way she could kill him unless she asked her brother, the emperor, for help.
Many thoughts flashed through Zong Ruoning's mind in an instant, but he didn't reveal them at all.
He bowed and said goodbye to the elders.
After the elders left, he asked one of his subordinate doctors to come over and check the data in the medical cabin.
This subordinate was Su Muzhe, who was also the one who checked Xia Chujian’s injuries last time.
She frowned and said, "Your Excellency the Duke's condition has deteriorated rapidly in the past seven days."
"The elderly diseases aren't very serious, but the genetic diseases have plummeted in the past seven days."
"This is not easy to treat."
They all know that it is not that it is difficult to treat, but that there is no cure at all.
In the Beichen Empire, genetic diseases are equivalent to terminal illnesses.
Hearing Su Muzhe say this, Zong Ruoning's heart sank.
However, he still held on and waited for the chief imperial physician who came from Beichen Star.
He also looked at Mr. Zong's medical data, but unlike Su Muzhe, he did not draw a conclusion immediately. He just frowned and kept operating on the console of the medical cabin, as if doing some special tests. At the same time, he kept searching for data in his quantum optical brain watch carrier for comparison.
Zong Ruoning did not urge him and waited quietly by the side.
Five minutes later, the chief imperial physician looked up at Zong Ruoning and said, "Master Zong, can I have a moment to talk?"
This requires talking to him privately in a safe place.
Zong Ruoning's heart tightened, but his expression did not change.
He raised his hand and led the chief imperial physician to a small room attached to the medical room.
This small room doesn't even have windows and was built according to the specifications of a secret room.
It is not only bulletproof, but also can shield various electromagnetic devices. There is no eavesdropping or surveillance in this room.
Zong Ruoning closed the door and calmly said to the chief imperial physician, "If you have anything to say, please tell me. As long as it can cure my grandfather, I can get him back no matter what you need."
The chief imperial physician whispered, "I know that you, Master Zong, are not short of money. The Zong family has been passed down for thousands of years, so you do have enough confidence to say such things."
"But what we need now can't even be obtained by having power."
"As far as I know, even the royal pharmacy doesn't have this stuff now."
Zong Ruoning frowned: "You talk, I'll find a solution."
The chief imperial physician sighed, "Master Zong's illness isn't a genetic disease."
"He's been poisoned!"
Zong Ruoning could no longer control his expression and asked in surprise, "Really?! How did you diagnose it as poisoning?!"
"So many doctors have tested it, and they all say it's a genetic disease!"
He absolutely trusted his subordinates and felt that Su Muzhe would not lie to him.
