Chapter 148 - The Gu Family that Covers the Sky with One Hand

He arrived in the old man’s room.

The old man had already taken off his jacket and was lying on the bed, prepared to receive treatment.

Seeing Chen Yang walk into the room, the expression on the elderly man’s face became somewhat excited.

“Divine Doctor, you’ve arrived.”

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then leaned closer, asking with concern, “Old man, how have you been feeling recently?

Is your health better?”

“It’s more than just better; I feel not only free from illness but even sturdier than the average elderly man,” the old man said excitedly.

Ever since he began receiving treatment from Chen Yang, his health had continually improved.

Now, he not only looked free from illness but appeared more vibrant than the average elderly man.

“That’s great.

After this final treatment, I believe your health will improve even more.” Chen Yang smiled, then took the prepared silver needles out of his pocket.

Seeing this, the old man shifted his body a couple of times, making sure to stay in a flat, supine position to facilitate the acupuncture.

Once the old man was properly positioned, Chen Yang wasted no time and began inserting the silver needles into his body.

This was the third time he had administered acupuncture to the old man.

Thus, Chen Yang inserted the needles very quickly, and before long, he had placed all of the silver needles into the old man’s body.

Exhale.

After finishing the acupuncture, Chen Yang let out a big breath.

“Just like before, in half an hour, removing the needles will be fine,” Chen Yang turned to Yang Ruoxi and Li Han and said.

“Okay, let’s go have some tea for now and come back in half an hour to help Grandfather with the needles,” Li Han suggested after seeing the situation.

“Okay.” Chen Yang nodded.

Then the three of them left the room, leaving two nannies behind to look after the old man.

The three of them sat in the tea room, sipping tea and chatting for a while.

During the conversation, Chen Yang asked about the situation with the Gu Family.

Upon hearing Chen Yang mention the Gu Family, Li Han’s face showed a noticeable change.

Even Yang Ruoxi, who usually didn’t care much for such matters, had her smile disappear instantly, and her expression started to sour.

“What’s the matter?

Did you have another unpleasant encounter with the Gu Family?” Seeing the expressions on their faces, Chen Yang seemed to have guessed something.

“Sigh.”

Li Han let out a long sigh and said, “We just can’t seem to agree with the Gu Family.

I don’t know what’s gotten into them recently; they seem to have it in for our Li Family.

They not only want to buy my company, but they also want a share in the highway project my father is handling!”

As she spoke about this, Li Han’s face was filled with melancholy, evidently very troubled by the matter.

Chen Yang frowned upon hearing Li Han say this.

He had thought that after Li Han had heartily entertained the Gu Family last time, the two families would clear up the misunderstanding and sit down for a serious talk.

Unexpectedly, not only had the issue not been resolved, it had become more troublesome.

“What’s your father’s attitude now?” Chen Yang curiously asked.

Li Han paused for a moment before saying, “I’m not sure what father intends, but he likely won’t let the Gu Family succeed easily.

After all, both the company and the highway project are crucial resources for our Li Family.”

“That’s a relief.”

Hearing that her father would not easily concede, Chen Yang felt reassured.

He had no particular fondness for the Gu Family, and he was naturally pleased to hear that her father would not make things easy for them.

However, as the two of them were talking, Yang Ruoxi suddenly interjected.

“Although uncle has a strong stance, I think the Gu Family won’t just give up because of it!

After all, their methods are well-known throughout the entire Jiangnan region!” Yang Ruoxi said with a slightly unnatural look on her face.

Li Han nodded, “That’s also one of my concerns.

The Gu Family is ruthless and capable of anything.”

Hearing the concerns of the two women, Chen Yang also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

No matter how you put it, both Li Han and Yang Ruoxi were his friends.

Watching his friends seemingly under threat and being unable to help was really hard to bear.

“Is the Gu Family’s strength really that great?” Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask again.

Regarding Chen Yang’s question, both women nodded without even thinking.

“Very powerful.

The Gu Family is a well-known financial group in the provincial city,” Li Han explained.

“I see.”

Chen Yang nodded thoughtfully, understanding the concept of the Gu Family’s strength.

“Moreover, the Gu Family is not only wealthy, but I’ve heard they also have very strong official backing.

They hold sway in the provincial city, not to mention in this small county,” Yang Ruoxi added, seeming to know quite a bit about the Gu Family.

“No wonder they act so aggressively, so they have official backing.”

Chen Yang was quite surprised internally, not expecting the Gu Family to be so powerful.

Having both money and power, such a family was indeed formidable.

The three sat in the tea room chatting for quite a while, and half an hour passed quickly.

The three went upstairs again and arrived at the old man’s bedside.

After checking the old man’s body once, and confirming the effectiveness, he then removed all the silver needles from the old man’s body.

As the last needle was pulled out, the old man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as usual.

However, unlike before, the blood he spat out this time was very bright red.

It was not like before, where the blood was mostly stagnated.

This indicated that the old man’s stagnated blood had been completely cleared.

His ailments had been completely cured.

After spitting out the blood, the old man took a few deep breaths, then a smile appeared on his face.

“It feels good…

My chest doesn’t feel tight, and breathing is smooth,” the old man said with a smile.

Chen Yang put away the silver needles and said with a smile, “Congratulations, old man, your illness is completely cured.”

“Divine Doctor, I really must thank you.

My health owes much to your excellent medical skills!” Lying on the bed, the old man couldn’t help but give Chen Yang a thumbs up again.

“Ha ha, there’s no need for such formalities, old man.

Li Han, Ruoxi, and I are friends,” Chen Yang said modestly with a smile.

“Mmm!” The old man nodded with a smile, then turned to Li Han and Yang Ruoxi, “Ruoxi, Li Han, help grandpa thank the Divine Doctor properly.

Please invite him to a meal.”

“Yes, Grandpa, don’t worry, we will,” both women nodded together, then exchanged glances with Chen Yang and left the room.

After leaving the room, the three walked downstairs.

Downstairs, Li Han and Yang Ruoxi once again thanked Chen Yang very sincerely.

They thanked Chen Yang for curing Old Master Li.

With an expressionless face, Chen Yang waved his hand, “It was just a small effort, no need for such courtesy.”

The women felt warmed by his gesture.

Li Han then smiled and said, “Though you say that, thanks are still necessary.

Don’t rush off today; how about we have lunch together?”

Being invited to dine by two beautiful women, Chen Yang was naturally very willing.

“Sure,” Chen Yang agreed without a second thought, then asked, “Where shall we go?”

Both women looked at each other, not having any particular place in mind.

“How about we just get in the car, drive around and see if something catches our eye, then decide where to eat?” Yang Ruoxi suggested.

This suggestion by Yang Ruoxi was good; being at home was boring anyway, might as well drive around for a bit.

After Li Han and Chen Yang expressed no objections, the three of them got into Li Han’s luxury car and drove out of the villa area.

They took to the main road inside the county.
