Chapter 19

Mr. Wang's hospital room was the most luxurious in the hospital. The Wang family had the means and the capability to provide the best medical environment for the old man.

In the morning, the ward was actually quite 'lively,' with many people visiting, including family members, friends, and business partners. However, Wang Chenglong persuaded them all to leave. He was concerned that too many people might affect Gu Fan, and if Gu Fan was displeased, it would be a disaster.

Lin Xuetang and Zhu Shengshou remained by the old man's side. It wasn't that the old man needed their treatment, but rather, they wanted to meet Gu Fan again.

To them, Gu Fan's medical skills had reached an extremely profound level. If they could have a conversation with him, it would definitely help their own medical expertise.

"Brother, I saw Mr. Gu!" Wang Yuyan's voice rang in Wang Chenglong's ear.

"Please Mr. Gu in, and be polite!" Wang Chenglong took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Wang Yuyan's voice confirmed in his ear.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhu, Mr. Gu is here!" Wang Chenglong said with a smile.

"That's great!" Lin Xuetang's eyes lit up.

"If he is willing to help, I believe there is a real chance for the old man to recover!" Zhu Shengshou said hopefully.

Wang Chenglong clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly— if his grandfather's illness could truly be cured, he would be willing to give up everything to make it happen!

"Mr. Gu!" Wang Yuyan appeared in front of Gu Fan as soon as he entered the hospital gate.

"Miss Wang, what is it?" Gu Fan was surprised.

Looking at Wang Yuyan, despite the obvious fatigue in her expression, she was still incredibly beautiful. She would be a stunning sight wherever she stood, a beauty on par with Huang Lele and Chu Xiaowei.

"I waited here specially for you," Wang Yuyan said. "I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have the chance to thank you properly. Thank you so much!"

"Miss Wang, don't say that... and you don't need to be so formal. I'm young, and it makes me uncomfortable when you keep calling me 'Mr. Gu'!" Gu Fan smiled. He was quite satisfied with the Wang family's attitude.

"Miss Wang, you can just call me Gu Fan!" Gu Fan said with a smile.

Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Then you don't have to call me Miss Wang. I'm a bit older, so you can call me Yuyan Sister?"

"Having such a beautiful sister would be a dream come true!" Gu Fan said with a grin.

He understood Wang Yuyan's purpose— to get closer to Gu Fan so that he would treat the old man. Gu Fan already had this intention, and now, by getting closer to such a beautiful woman, he was more than willing.

Gu Fan, though shy and sometimes bashful around beautiful women, still had a natural appreciation for beauty, which is a trait of every man, right?

Chen Jiaxin was quite unhappy on the side. It wasn't because she was being ignored or because she was jealous of Wang Yuyan's noble aura. It was because Gu Fan was so eager to approach beautiful women!

"Really embarrassing, how can I have such a tutor!" Chen Jiaxin muttered to herself, almost stepping away from Gu Fan and pretending not to know him.

"Gu Fan, who is this beautiful lady? Why don't you introduce her?" Wang Yuyan, having gotten closer to Gu Fan, was in a good mood.

"Yuyan Sister, this is my friend, Chen Jiaxin," Gu Fan introduced her.

"Hello!" Wang Yuyan extended her hand politely.

"Hello!" Chen Jiaxin shook Wang Yuyan's hand calmly.

"Miss Chen, you are so young and beautiful, it's truly enviable," Wang Yuyan couldn't ignore the youthful vitality Chen Jiaxin exuded.

"Miss Wang, haven't you been young before? There's no need to envy me!" Chen Jiaxin said coolly, but the sharpness and hostility in her tone were unmistakable.

Wang Yuyan was taken aback and laughed, "Miss Chen is indeed full of vitality!"

"Yuyan Sister, let's go see the old man!" Gu Fan looked at Chen Jiaxin in surprise, wondering why she was so unfriendly to Wang Yuyan. He thought, do beautiful women just not get along?

But that's not right, why are Huang Lele and Chu Xiaowei such good friends?

He couldn't understand it; women are truly complicated.

"Hmph!" Chen Jiaxin huffed and hurriedly followed. She was becoming more curious. Wang Yuyan was clearly trying to please Gu Fan and showed genuine respect. Given that Wang Yuyan was from a wealthy family, what kind of person was Gu Fan to deserve such respect? Did someone who could be so respected by the wealthy really need to tutor her to earn money?

Chen Jiaxin found it even harder to understand Gu Fan.

"Mr. Gu!" At the ward door, Wang Chenglong, Lin Xuetang, and Zhu Shengshou came out to greet Gu Fan.

"Mr. Wang, Doctor Lin, Doctor Zhu!" Gu Fan felt very honored. No wonder so many people strive for high positions; the feeling of being respected is something you can never truly understand unless you experience it yourself.

"Mr. Gu, please come in!" Wang Chenglong saw Wang Yuyan wink at him and felt reassured.

Gu Fan entered the ward.

But as soon as he stepped in, he paused, frowning as he looked around the room.

Luxurious decoration, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and a wide view— everything was perfect, but...

Wang Chenglong, Wang Yuyan, and the others were blocked at the door, all puzzled.

"Mr. Gu," Wang Chenglong called out tentatively.

Gu Fan then stepped into the ward, looking at the sleeping old man on the bed, his frown deepening.

Wang Chenglong and Wang Yuyan's hearts sank.

Gu Fan's frown seemed to instantly affect everyone's mood, making the atmosphere in the ward incredibly heavy.

"Gu Fan, is Grandfather's condition very bad?" Wang Yuyan couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xuetang and Zhu Shengshou also frowned.

They had just examined the old man in the morning, and his condition had stabilized. They had taken some measures, so it was impossible for it to worsen so quickly.

With decades of medical experience, they were 100% sure of this.

"Yuyan Sister, were there many people here this morning?" Gu Fan asked seriously.

"Yes!" Wang Yuyan nodded.

A look of understanding appeared on Gu Fan's face, followed by a fleeting cold smile.

"Mr. Gu, is there a problem?" Wang Chenglong asked nervously.

Gu Fan looked at Lin Xuetang and Zhu Shengshou.

"Mr. Gu, Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhu are Chenglong's elders," Wang Chenglong said. "Yuyan is my sister. You can speak freely!"

Gu Fan nodded and then looked at Chen Jiaxin, saying nothing.

He wanted to ask Chen Jiaxin to leave, as the subsequent conversation would involve some secrets.

But asking Chen Jiaxin to leave now would shatter the initial trust he had built with her. He decided against it.

Perhaps, by showing more of his mystery and capabilities, Chen Jiaxin would be more compliant. This might help improve her psychological issues.

"Mr. Wang, do you remember what I told you about the root cause of the old man's illness?" Gu Fan said solemnly.

"Of course I remember!" Wang Chenglong's heart sank, and his face darkened.

Wang Yuyan, Lin Xuetang, and Zhu Shengshou were confused, not understanding what Gu Fan and Wang Chenglong were talking about.

"The yin energy had been completely expelled, so the old man could wake up this morning. But now... the yin energy has reappeared!" Gu Fan said solemnly. "And it was done by someone recently!"

"Based on my deduction, within two hours, the old man's condition will worsen dramatically. At that point, even a god couldn't save him!" Gu Fan was a bit angry. How could he get the jade piece if the old man, who was sleeping and could die at any moment, was in such a state?

"Mr. Gu, do you mean... the person who tampered with the old man's condition before has done it again, right under our noses?" Wang Chenglong took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes!" Gu Fan nodded.

"Please, Mr. Gu, save my grandfather. Please help me. I am willing to pay any price!" Wang Chenglong looked at Gu Fan pleadingly.

He knew that if Gu Fan acted, his grandfather's illness would not be a problem. However, if the culprit behind the tampering wasn't found, his grandfather would always be in danger. Wang Chenglong was pleading for Gu Fan to fundamentally eliminate this external threat.

"To be honest, there is something I have been seeking for a long time with the old man. This is the fundamental reason I acted earlier," Gu Fan knew that saying this might affect his image as a righteous and brave person.

But at this moment, with Wang Chenglong willing to pay any price, Gu Fan had to be clear about everything.

"So, Mr. Wang, I don't want anything else from you. I only want the thing I care about!" Gu Fan said straightforwardly.

"Is this thing on my grandfather?" Wang Chenglong asked.

"Yes!" Gu Fan nodded. The old man had the aura of the jade piece, which was undeniable.

"Will this thing affect my grandfather's health?" Wang Chenglong asked again.

"No!" Gu Fan shook his head.

"Then I will make the decision. I will definitely hand over what Mr. Gu wants!" Wang Chenglong said firmly.

"I need to communicate with the old man, so he must get better!" Gu Fan was noncommittal. Wang Chenglong's promise meant nothing to him; the key was the old man.

Gu Fan examined the old man and found that the yin energy in his body was even stronger than yesterday.

It was clear that the person wanted to kill the old man.

"Showing off in front of a master!" Gu Fan thought coldly, reaching out to the corner of the bed.
