“Otherwise what?” Lin Feng sneered.
“Xie Ding, enough. Second Uncle was in the wrong first. You people bullied Lin Feng plenty when he was with the Xie Family. Now that Lin Feng is no longer part of the Xie Family, can’t you stop being so aggressive?”
At that moment, Xie Ruoxin stepped forward.
“Oh? You two aren’t related anymore, yet you’re still so close?”
Xie Ding remarked with a sneer, then glared at Lin Feng:
“This matter isn’t over! When you were the Live-in Son-in-Law of the Xie Family, she protected you. But now, what are you? If you’re afraid, you can crawl between this young master’s legs. Perhaps, in my magnanimity, I might consider letting you off…”
“You trash good-for-nothing! Besides hiding behind women, what else can you do? You even dared to hit my daddy! Who the hell do you think you are? Hurry up and kneel to apologize!”
At that moment, Lin Feng’s anger had already been ignited!
His fists cracked.
The next second, he would tear Xie Ding’s mouth apart like a cheetah.
I even beat your father. Do you think I’d be afraid of you, his son?
After all, Lin Feng was no longer an ordinary man whom anyone could bully, much less the good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law!
There was no need to waste time on these ignorant underlings of the Xie Family!
Just as he prepared to teach Xie Ding a lesson,
Xie Ruoxin tugged at his sleeve. “Lin Feng, Xie Ding is despicable, but this is a Hospital Ward, and Grandmother is still lying in bed…”
Lin Feng paused, glanced at his ex-wife, hesitated for a moment, and said,
“Fine. I’ll listen to you.”
“Oh? Are you scared? You obey your Ex-Wife so readily? Then why don’t you bring my Daddy out?” Xie Ding straightened his bangs, his face arrogant!
“This is bad!”
“Old Madam’s condition is becoming difficult to control.”
“The illness flared up without warning… I’m afraid… you should prepare her final arrangements!”
A chief medical expert taking Old Madam’s pulse suddenly looked stricken and shook his head with a sigh.
“What’s going on!?”
Everyone erupted in shock.
Ever since the Old Master of the Xie Family passed away, Old Madam had held the entire family together. If she passed away as well, the Xie Family would certainly fall apart!
Suddenly, Xie Ding ran to the bedside, fell to his knees, and wailed. “Grandmother, I’m your most beloved grandson… You must be all right! That Good-for-Nothing has even dared to trample on our Xie Family!”
Seeing this, Lin Feng was stunned. Xie Ding actually knew how to shift the blame!
“Elder Luo, you’re renowned as a leading master of Traditional Chinese Medicine. You’ve treated Old Madam’s condition all this time, and your Acupuncture Technique is unrivaled. How can you be unable to save her now?”
Everyone else pleaded with him, their faces filled with grief!
“She can’t be saved!”
Elder Luo shook his head and sighed. “Prepare her final arrangements. This Old Man has done everything he can!”
“It’s over! It’s over!”
The members of the Xie Family were pale and helpless.
…
“May I ask what illness Old Madam has?”
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment before speaking.
Everyone was overcome with grief and ignored his question. Even Xie Ruoxin knelt beside the Hospital Ward bed and began to weep.
Only Xie Ruoxue sniffled as she told Lin Feng, “Wuwu, Grandmother has relied on Elder Luo’s Huayang Acupuncture Technique to extend her life. Her body had stopped functioning properly long ago.”
“The Huayang Acupuncture Technique is extending her life?”
“The Huayang Acupuncture Technique extends her life?” Lin Feng looked toward Elder Luo, startled. “May I ask, is it the Huayang Nine Needles?”
“Sigh!”
Elder Luo sighed and nodded. “Yes! But this Old Man is poorly learned and knows only the First Three Needles. The latter six are the true Acupuncture Technique, capable of seizing the transformations of Heaven and Earth. Yet this Old Man is powerless to turn the tide!”
“Old Madam’s body had passed away with the Old Master three years ago. This Old Man’s Acupuncture Technique has sustained it ever since. It is like an hourglass filled with sand: turn it upright, and the sand slowly runs out; turn it upside down, and it still slowly runs out. Given enough time, all the sand will drain away!”
“Under normal circumstances, Old Madam would have been fine as long as she received her needles on schedule. But this time, a sudden fit of rage struck her, and it seems she wants only to die…”
After he finished speaking!
The members of the Xie Family became even more grief-stricken, as though the sky had collapsed. Many embraced one another, overwhelmed by sorrow.
Xie Ruoxin sobbed until she could barely speak, her face drenched in tears.
Lin Feng understood. No wonder Old Madam’s Essence energy and spirit had fluctuated every few days when he was with the Xie Family.
“If I knew the latter six needles, then even if Old Madam stood at the Gates of Hell, I could drag her back!” Elder Luo shook his head in regret.
Everyone fell into despair, as though they had surrendered to fate!
Many doctors sighed as well. Elder Luo was a renowned grandmaster-level figure; once he had delivered his verdict, there truly was no hope!
“Wuwuwu! Grandmother…”
“Old Madam, wuwuwu!”
This…
“What are you crying about?”
Lin Feng said.
In an instant!
Everyone’s gaze focused on Lin Feng.
“You good-for-nothing!”
“You hit someone, and now that Old Madam is about to die, you’re kicking someone when they’re down! You’re an ungrateful Good-for-Nothing!”
“You’re a jinx! You came here to watch us suffer. I say you killed Old Madam! You should go down and Be Buried Alive as a Companion!”
If looks could kill, Lin Feng would have died a hundred times by now. Not one member of the Xie Family believed him!
Lin Feng curled his lip. Old Madam’s name was Pan Huayun. She had never liked Lin Feng, but he did not want to watch Xie Ruoxin suffer. After all, Pan Huayun doted on her too.
Moreover!
The reason Lin Feng had not left was because… he still wanted the members of the Xie Family to stop looking down on him!
He had to make the Dragon Raises Its Head; he had to make the Xie Family Submit before him!
“To be honest, I know the Huayang Nine Needles!”
Lin Feng spoke with a faint smile.
