The Little Overlord held the folding fan tightly in his hand, his gaze fixed on Old Man Li.
"Of course not! Not only do they owe your granddaughter justice, but I also need to seek justice for myself. Those people did so many bad things, and in the end, they all blamed me, turning me into a public enemy. How could I possibly let them off easily! Scum like them deserve a thousand deaths!"
Seeing the Little Overlord's sincere tone and attitude, and thinking that his granddaughter's matter could be resolved, Old Man Li felt a slight sense of relief. "Good! With Young Master Qi's promise, this old man will wait to see the miserable ends of those bullies!"
Old Man Li was very happy that the Little Overlord was willing to trust him this time. The few of them sat together and chatted for a while longer. Su Muqing suggested examining Li Yong's head.
However, she made it clear beforehand that Li Yong had been injured more than a decade ago, and she couldn't guarantee a cure. Even so, Old Man Li bowed and thanked Su Muqing again.
In fact, he had wanted to ask the divine doctor to examine his foolish son earlier, but considering that the doctor had saved him and his wife, taken no money, and even given them medicine for free, it was already an immense kindness.
If he were to ask for more, it would seem too greedy. But he didn't expect that before he could speak, the divine doctor would proactively offer to examine his foolish son.
This time, Su Muqing did not ask the others to leave. She beckoned Li Yong to come over. Li Yong was still holding a rough porcelain bowl full of water. He crouched down nervously, threw something into a corner, and then slowly stood up.
Others did not notice what he threw, but Su Muqing and Huo Qiyuan saw it clearly. What Li Yong had just thrown was a wood-chopping knife with many nicks.
They both raised their eyebrows and exchanged a knowing glance, then simultaneously looked at the Little Overlord, who was fanning himself vigorously.
Even though Li Yong's head was injured, he had managed to hide a chopping knife behind him while going to the water. Who he intended to attack was obvious.
Seeing the Little Overlord's obviously relaxed expression, they couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Old Man Li had chosen to believe the Little Overlord in the end, otherwise, Li Yong's knife would have fallen on him, right?
"Why are you dawdling? The divine doctor wants to treat your head, why aren't you hurrying over!" The Little Overlord, who had just narrowly escaped a disaster, was oblivious. Seeing Li Yong slowly approaching without moving for a long time, he reached out and pulled him.
As he touched Li Yong's arm, the latter's body stiffened noticeably. He then handed the water to Li Hong and slowly walked to Su Muqing's side.
Su Muqing placed her hand on his pulse and then scanned his head with the detector. Soon, the detector pointed out the problem.
There was a large blood clot in Li Yong's left brain, pressing on his nerves and cerebellum. Due to the long-term accumulation of the blood clot, this had caused his foolishness for over a decade.
Unlike the old woman's situation, the blood clot in Li Yong's head had become a hard mass. There was no other way to treat this condition except for craniotomy.
Moreover, before the surgery, he would have to take some medicine to soften the blood clot for a period of time. In short, it could not be done immediately.
Another point was that even if Li Yong underwent craniotomy, his recovery time would be longer than the old woman's. And after being injured for so long, no one could say for sure how much he would recover.
This meant that in this already frail and sickly family, there would be two patients who needed constant care. With Old Man Li's body and age, he simply could not manage them all.
There was also the worst-case scenario. Although the medical robots were black technology from the future mall and his surgical success rate was high, no one could guarantee 100% success in brain surgery. Li Yong also had a small chance of dying on the operating table.
If they were so unlucky as to encounter that small probability, what would happen to Old Man Li's family then?
Su Muqing thought about it and finally decided to tell them the truth. "His condition is more complicated than your wife's. He needs to take medicine for a period of time before treatment. Moreover, his brain has been compressed by the blood clot for too long. If the treatment goes well, I cannot guarantee whether he will be able to return to how he was before the accident."
Seeing Su Muqing's somewhat serious expression, Old Man Li couldn't help but ask, "And if the treatment doesn't go well? What will happen to my son?"
"If it doesn't go well, he might... die on the spot! But the probability of this is very small, but I have to make it clear to you. As for how to choose, it is up to you to decide."
Upon hearing Su Muqing's words, everyone except Huo Qiyuan and Li Yong gasped.
This was a difficult choice. If he didn't get treated, Li Yong would be foolish for the rest of his life, but at least his life would be saved. If he was treated, it was uncertain whether he would recover completely, but he might lose his life.
Old Man Li also fell silent. After all, his son had been foolish and dazed like this for over ten years. Although he was often bullied, he could at least see him. If the outcome was bad, then he wouldn't even have his foolish son anymore...
As everyone remained silent, Li Yong pointed to his head and gestured to Su Muqing. The man in his thirties spoke in a somewhat childish tone.
"Divine doctor, treat me..." After speaking, Li Yong knelt down and kowtowed to Su Muqing. His appearance looked confused and humble.
Su Muqing did not expect him to make such a move. She quickly helped him up and asked, "You want me to treat you?"
Li Yong's eyes were somewhat dull, but he nodded his head rapidly and firmly, like a chick pecking at rice. "Want to be treated!"
"Why do you want to be treated?"
"Okay, Xiao Cui needs her dad... she won't get lost on the way home, she won't dirty her clothes, Xiao Cui will be happy, and she'll come back..." Li Yong said, smiling foolishly.
It turned out that he thought Xiao Cui hadn't come home for so long because she didn't know the way home, or because she was angry that he had dirtied his clothes, which was why she wasn't coming back.
Although the foolish Li Yong didn't know what "dad" meant, he had always remembered that he was Xiao Cui's dad. That's why he asked Su Muqing to treat him; he just missed his daughter!
