Chapter 29 029 Treatment failed Mu Heng is still reading novels...
Chapter 29
On the way to the Mu family, Lin Bo tried to contact Lin Yuzhou to ask about the situation, but the communication was interfered, which made him even more uneasy.
"Boss Lin, the Anya spacecraft sent a notice that the cooperation has been cancelled..."
"Shut up!" Lin Bo roared, and his irrational and ferocious look surprised his assistant.
"Let's talk about it when I get back." Realizing his own gaffe, Lin Bo calmed his breathing, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, and the worry between his eyebrows was obvious.
The assistant didn't say anything along the way, but Lin Bo knew that this was just the beginning, and he was afraid that more partners had heard the news from the Mu family.
"Xiao Bo, what's going on?" Lin Youyuan and Zhang Mei called in quickly.
Zhang Mei was shopping in a high-end mall on the Imperial Star. Although she originally had some wealth and enjoyed the same treatment as other noble ladies on the Imperial Star, her treatment immediately changed after she became a mother of a healer.
The latest clothing and cosmetics were sent to the Lin family for free. She saw a whole new world and felt that the original world was no longer worthy of her.
Zhang Mei originally had several friends of equal status, but now she has gradually lost contact with them.
But today, when she bought the latest model of a certain brand as usual, she was told that the latest model was exclusive to VIPs.
"Don't you know me?" Zhang Mei was so angry that she almost laughed.
Zhang Mei has always looked down upon these service personnel at the lower level of the Imperial Star. Ever since Lin Yuzhou became famous as a healer, she has been unwilling to even look at these people.
Last time she scolded a waiter so much that he knelt down and begged for mercy. It was said that it even became a hot topic on Starnet. But in the end, wasn’t it settled?
Zhang Mei was restrained at first, but as she felt the power of the healer more and more deeply day by day, she became more and more accustomed to being outspoken.
"Ma'am, this is VIP treatment." Faced with her question, the waiter still repeated the original answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp slap rang out: "Get me a sensible waiter, and this, he must apologize to me!"
The sound of applause attracted the attention of other customers in the store. Someone who knew the inside story revealed Zhang Mei's identity, and the other customers silently showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Zhang Mei turned a blind eye to everything around her and waited with her neck held high.
The store manager came hurriedly, but what Zhang Mei waited for was not the familiar bow of apology, nor the waiter's silent endurance with tears in his eyes. The manager who treated her extremely flatteringly a few days ago now said seriously: "Madam, our staff has already informed you that this is a VIP treatment."
Zhang Mei was extremely angry at this time: "Are you blind? Don't you know who I am?"
The person in charge looked even more serious: "You are not a VIP of this store. In addition, your behavior has violated the public safety regulations of the Imperial Star. Our staff can hold you accountable."
"I'm not a VIP?" Her VIP status was given to her by the person in charge himself!
Zhang Mei's voice rose eight octaves. In her rage, she wanted to take action, but she found that the security measures in the store had been automatically activated. The next moment, she was completely controlled.
"What's going on?"
Just then, a question suddenly came from outside the store.
A figure in casual clothes, whose appearance was well-known throughout the galaxy, slowly appeared. His steps were not powerful, but he carried an indescribable aura. Staring at him with a pair of dark brown eyes, everyone, whether it was Zhang Mei who was struggling and roaring, or the serious-looking person in charge, fell silent at this moment.
"Thank you, Major General."
Xie Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, and in the blink of an eye he understood what was happening in front of him. However, Zhang Mei was like seeing a savior: "Major General Xie, don't you recognize me? I am Lin Yuzhou's..."
Xie Jue waved his hand and said, "This is a daily matter, not under the jurisdiction of the military. Just deal with it as you should. I'm just out for a walk."
After saying that, Xie Jue turned and left. For some reason, in the eyes of the shop manager, Xie Jue's steps seemed a little brisk, but... what Xie Jue was holding in his hand seemed to be a pink rabbit-shaped cushion.
He was sure he wasn't seeing things.
Major General Xie and the pink rabbit seem to be... somehow compatible. What's going on?
…
Zhang Mei didn't expect that Xie Jue would ignore her cries and just leave. She was taken to the control room and was not taken away until Lin Youyuan paid the ransom.
Not only that, she had to apologize to the waiter. The handprints on his face were still clearly visible, but he accepted her apology with a look of grievance and reluctance.
What is there for him to feel wronged about?
Being brought to such a place is a real shame.
Lin Youyuan could still hold back in public, but once he got into the hovercraft, he couldn't wait to slap Zhang Mei in the face: "You did a great job!"
The video of Zhang Mei beating someone is going viral on Star Internet!
The hot comments were all mocking the fact that the Lin family would benefit from the success of one person. In the past, most netizens in the galaxy envied Lin Yuzhou's identity as a healer, but since Zhang Mei appeared on the hot searches one after another, the netizens' words were filled with mockery.
As the nominal head of the Lin family, Lin Youyuan naturally received notices of cancellation of multiple collaborations. He originally thought that it was caused by Zhang Mei, but after making some inquiries, he felt something was not right.
Lin Youyuan and Zhang Mei quickly contacted Lin Bo.
"How could it be Yuzhou's fault? General Mu must have made a mistake, right?" Zhang Mei started to yell, with the slap marks on her face. "Everyone knows that the Mu family member won't live long. All the injured people died, right? He didn't live long anyway. Yuzhou treated him out of kindness, but if something goes wrong, it becomes Yuzhou's responsibility?"
"Mom, be careful with your words." Lin Bo couldn't hide his impatience, "I'm almost at the Mu family."
Lin Bo could only pray secretly that Mu Heng's condition would not be too serious. General Mu was well-known for doting on his eldest son, and Mu Heng himself had long been a high-ranking figure in the military. It was rumored that in the war twenty years ago, it was Mu Heng who volunteered to go to the battlefield, which forced the conservative faction in the military to temporarily switch sides.
A war brought decades of peace, but Mu Heng was severely traumatized. To some extent, his existence proved the necessity of that war.
If such a person was killed by Lin Yuzhou, one can imagine what kind of situation the Lin family would face next.
Lin Bo didn't dare to think about it.
…
The atmosphere at the Mu family's house was completely different from the last time Lin Bo came. The quaint old house originally gave people a feeling of elegance, but now it was only lonely.
General Mu was filled with murderous aura, and he looked at Lin Bo as if he were an enemy.
To Lin Bo's surprise, General Mu did not do anything to him. He just pointed to the next door and said, "Lin Yuzhou is in there. Take him away quickly!"
"Mr. Mu..."
As soon as Lin Bo finished speaking, General Mu's red eyes swept towards him, as if he was exercising great restraint. Lin Bo didn't dare to mention it anymore and could only answer Lin Yuzhou first.
Lin Yuzhou was locked in the room. His personal freedom was not restricted, but the Mu family did not allow him to contact the outside world. They probably suspected that Lin Yuzhou was instructed by someone.
"What exactly happened?" Lin Bo asked.
Lin Yuzhou shook his head: "I'm just treating him normally."
The treatment performed by the healer is to transfer his or her own healing power to the patient, thereby improving the patient's condition.
But for some reason, after his treatment, Mu Heng's physical condition did not change at first. It did not get better, but it did not get worse either. However, after a while, suddenly, Mu Heng died.
Lin Yuzhou was 100% sure that the way he treated Xie Jue was the same way he treated Mu Heng.
As the Lin family was not favored by the Xie family and it was difficult for him and Xie Jue to maintain any relationship, Lin Yuzhou knew very well that it was important to gain the favor of the Mu family.
His dedication to Mu Heng's treatment was no less than his rejection.
Lin Bo pondered in silence. He believed that Lin Yuzhou was not lying. He was probably thinking that Mu Heng was already at the end of his strength. The same effect would be achieved if any other healer was in his place. It was just that Lin Yuzhou happened to meet this healer.
"But...why is it that there is no improvement at all?"
Xie Jue's injury should be more serious than Mu Heng's, but wasn't he cured by Lin Yuzhou?
But facing the angry General Mu, Lin Bo couldn't say anything.
Along the way, Lin Bo received three more notices of termination of agreements.
At this time on Star Internet, the video of Zhang Mei beating someone had risen to the second place on the hot search list, and the beating video that the Lin family had suppressed previously was also pushed up again.
Everyone on Star Network knows the name of Zhang Mei, the Iron Sand Palm.
In addition, the Mu family's methods are much more brutal than those of the Xie family. General Mu's sister and Mu Heng's aunt, Mu Lei, is a strong woman in the business world. At this time, no one knew about the news of Mu Heng's deterioration, but Mu Lei publicly stated on Star Network that Lin Yuzhou was a liar!
With internal and external troubles coming at the same time, Lin Bo was overwhelmed.
…
After Lin Bo took Lin Yuzhou away, the aura of General Mu had disappeared. He could only take a deep breath and pretend to be indifferent when he went to see Mu Heng.
Mu Heng looked even older. Although the two of them were said to be father and son, others would probably think they were brothers, and Mu Heng was still the older one.
Compared to General Mu's rage, Mu Heng was very calm: "Dad."
"When I'm gone, you can donate my compensation and subsidies to MSK. I still have a few comrades who I had a good relationship with back then. They are old now and their lives are very difficult. Please take care of them for me when you have time."
"I won't take care of you. If you want to take care of yourself, you can do it yourself." General Mu's tone was also hard, "Stay alive and take care of yourself!"
"Don't blame the healer. I know my own body."
"What's wrong with me?" General Mu looked at Mu Heng's appearance, his tone a little aggrieved, "You don't know how much they asked your father for. I thought he could cure you. I really thought so."
General Mu hadn't cried for a long time, and he had never cried in front of his eldest son, but he couldn't help crying at this moment: "I let him go, but I can't bear to see you become like this. I still have to give them benefits and use my reputation to help them sign a contract. I can't do this."
Those are just small matters. General Mu wants to see Mu Heng survive. As long as Mu Heng can survive, it doesn’t matter if those people from the Lin family step on him.
"Okay, okay." Mu Heng also showed a helpless expression.
Mu Heng was so weak that he couldn't say more than a few words. He could feel his vitality rapidly draining away, just like when he was first injured.
He didn't want to complain. Years of illness had drained his energy. He just hoped that the living could be happy.
Mu Heng thought of his dead and living comrades, and the folk remedies mentioned by Lao Yang and the other party suddenly emerged in his mind.
This folk remedy does sound quite interesting. If others hear it, they will definitely think that Lao Yang is talking nonsense.
But Mu Heng felt that the last moments of his life did not need to be so heavy, and it was quite interesting to listen to some nonsense.
At least Lao Yang will be happy when he knows it.
In the silence, Mu Heng said, "Dad."
General Mu responded.
"I want to read a novel."
General Mu didn't understand why Mu Heng suddenly wanted to read the novel, but since it was Mu Heng's request, he would naturally do it.
Among all the online articles on Star Network, General Mu found "Cooking Food" without much effort - "Cooking Food" is currently in the top 20 of the gold list. With the launch of "Infinite World", the ranking of "Cooking Food" on the gold list has risen.
Mu Heng then began to read quietly.
General Mu gave him the space, but every hour he would remind Mu Heng not to overwork himself.
An hour later, Mu Heng was still reading the novel.
Two hours later, Mu Heng was still watching.
Three hours later... General Mu knew that something was wrong. When Mu Heng's body had not yet deteriorated, he could not withstand three hours of exhaustion.
But the robot did not issue a warning.
When he entered the room to check, General Mu felt that Mu Heng was in good spirits.
But General Mu did not feel happy. He suspected that this was a last gasp.
General Mu was worried and dared not sleep at night, fearing that Mu Heng would leave without him noticing.
Then, the next day, Mu Heng was still alive and reading a novel.
On the third day, Mu Heng was reading a novel with great energy.
"...You mean, Mu Heng is getting better?" The moment he got the affirmative answer from the doctor, General Mu unconsciously used the word "you".
"Did the healer work?"
The doctor gave a negative answer: "The healer's treatment is real-time and there is no delay."
Then Lin Yuzhou's treatment is not effective.
Mu Heng pointed at the online article in front of him and said, "Could it be that... this is working?"
He also thought it was all ridiculous.
But he was indeed getting better, and a heavy burden was slowly being lifted from him. What made him even more certain of everything was that he saw his spirit body, which had not appeared for twenty years, with a pair of short gray wolf ears.
