Mu Jiu Chen looked at her deeply and nodded faintly. He also felt uneasy.
On the road, Mu Jiu Chen drove very fast, always feeling that something was about to happen.
When he returned home, the sense of unease grew stronger, his heart beating rapidly, as if something was about to break away from him.
Halfway there, he received a call from the butler of the Mu family's old residence.
Mu Jiu Chen had a bad feeling, but he still calmed himself and answered the phone.
"Master Jiu, hurry back, the old man is not well."
Mu Jiu Chen slammed on the brakes, his legs and body weak, his voice powerless. "What did you say?" His voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Master Jiu, I went to the kitchen to arrange dinner. When I came back, I saw the old man lying at the foot of the stairs. Aunt Mu Xue was also there, and Mu Si Chen was also there. Aunt Mu Xue said that Mu Si Chen pushed the old man and wanted to occupy everything in the Mu family, but Mu Si Chen said he did not push the old man..."
Mu Jiu Chen quickly hung up the phone and drove off with red eyes.
Jiang Nuan reached out and held his hand, gently comforting him, "Mu Jiu Chen, don't worry."
Hearing the voice of the person he loved, Mu Jiu Chen's mind became clear. With Nuan Nuan here, Grandpa would not die.
Mu Jiu Chen drove seriously, taking Jiang Nuan straight to the Mu family's old residence.
A few minutes later, Mu Jiu Chen and Jiang Nuan rushed into the old man's backyard.
The family doctor was performing emergency treatment. Seeing Mu Jiu Chen approach, he shook his head at him.
Jiang Nuan looked at the old man lying on the ground. His face was pale, without a trace of breath, as if he were dead.
She didn't have time to think. She knelt beside the old man, felt his pulse. He still had a breath, but it was almost gone.
But there was still a glimmer of hope!
Jiang Nuan took out a first-aid pill from her backpack and was about to feed it to the old man.
She was stopped by Mu Xue, who was crying heartbrokenly beside her. "Jiang Nuan, what are you trying to do? Don't touch my father."
Mu Jiu Chen pushed her aside and said with a furious voice, "Get out of here."
He took the medicine from Jiang Nuan's hand and quickly gave it to his grandfather.
"Butler, water, quickly!" Jiang Nuan shouted.
Several silver needles were already inserted into the old man's vital acupoints.
The butler quickly brought the water, and Jiang Nuan quickly dropped a dark pill into it.
The pill dissolved in water.
Jiang Nuan took out a light blue silver needle and stirred it.
"Mu Jiu Chen, help Grandpa up. Be gentle."
Mu Jiu Chen did as he was told.
Jiang Nuan held the teacup with her delicate hand and fed the medicine to the old man bit by bit.
"Pfft..." The old man spat out blood.
The atmosphere instantly froze!
Mu Xue roared, "Jiang Nuan, what did you do to my father?"
Jiang Nuan ignored Mu Xue and carefully wiped the blood from the old man's mouth with a tissue.
She touched the old man's head. There was some swelling on the left side. She picked up a silver needle. This needle was very special.
It was hollow in the middle. She quickly inserted it, and dark blood flowed out.
The family doctor watched, dazzled. He had never seen such a way of saving someone.
The place where the old man lived was personally designed by Mu Jiu Chen. As he was old, he was afraid of bumps and bruises. The outlines of the stairs were all round. Therefore, when the old man rolled down the stairs, there were no obvious external injuries, but his internal injuries were severe. A breath was stuck in his throat and could not come out. If it were any later, it would have been too late.
After Jiang Nuan's operation, she saved the old man's life!
The family doctor looked at the old man's improved complexion and exclaimed in surprise, "He's alive."
Before Jiang Nuan could speak, Mu Jiu Chen dared not relax. It was only when Jiang Nuan removed the silver needles that Mu Jiu Chen looked at Jiang Nuan nervously, "Nuan Nuan, Grandpa he..."
"He's fine now." Jiang Nuan looked at him and gave him a reassuring look.
Mu Jiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength in his body gradually returned.
Mu Si Chen, who had been standing there blankly and silent, also breathed a sigh of relief.
If something happened to Grandpa, he would be truly wronged.
"Big Brother, I didn't push Grandpa. Aunt is framing me." Mu Si Chen looked at Mu Xue angrily.
Mu Xue retorted furiously, "Who else could it be besides you? When I came in just now, you were the only one standing at the foot of the stairs, and the old man rolled down the stairs."
"I didn't. I came to find Grandpa. I heard you were causing trouble here and I was worried about Grandpa, so I came to see." Grandpa always loved him. Mu Jiu Chen had returned the Mu family to him, and Grandpa had asked him to protect it well.
The night Mu Jiu Chen left, Grandpa had specifically sought him out.
He had talked with him all night, and he had thought through many things.
He was not as outstanding as Mu Jiu Chen. He reflected on himself, he was blinded by jealousy, he himself was not good enough, and Mu Jiu Chen had been protecting the Mu family all along.
If he wanted it, Mu Jiu Chen had returned everything.
After Grandpa analyzed it for him, he understood a principle: one cannot be too greedy.
He had been very relaxed these past few days, letting go of his hatred for Mu Jiu Chen.
His mother deserved it, and he was just an accident in his mother's life.
He and Mu Jiu Chen were both pitiable people.
"Big Brother, it really wasn't me. You believe me!" Mu Si Chen looked at Mu Jiu Chen with a determined gaze.
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at him faintly and then asked Mu Xue, "Did you personally see Mu Si Chen push my grandfather?"
Mu Xue said sarcastically, "This is my family's business. It's not your place as an outsider to interfere."
Mu Jiu Chen ignored her and looked at Mu Si Chen. Both of them were suspicious.
Neither of them were good people!
"Nuan Nuan, check again and see if Grandpa has any other injuries?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him and said, "I'm checking."
Her technique allowed her to feel it.
A few minutes later, she looked at Mu Jiu Chen and said, "His arm is fractured, and there are no other problems."
As Jiang Nuan finished speaking, she noticed a swelling on the old man's back. The middle part was grayish.
"Wait a moment." Jiang Nuan carefully pressed the swollen area around it.
"What's wrong? Nuan Nuan?" Mu Jiu Chen looked at her nervously.
Jiang Nuan looked at the window at the foot of the stairs, then at Mu Si Chen and asked, "When the second young master was standing at the foot of the stairs, did you hear any sound?"
Mu Si Chen nodded, "It sounded like a balloon exploding, and then Grandpa rolled down the stairs. I didn't push Grandpa."
Jiang Nuan understood and said to Mu Jiu Chen, "Grandpa was hit by a pellet gun with great force. The flesh in this area has softened."
Jiang Nuan's eyes widened with fury. Who was the damned person who could be so cruel to an old man?
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at the window upstairs. The backyard had ornamental trees, and they were about the same height as this small building.
"How is this possible? Who would be so bored to do this? What benefit would killing Father bring them?" Mu Xue looked at Mu Jiu Chen in surprise.
Mu Jiu Chen glanced at Mu Si Chen again, his mind racing, and he had already guessed something.
"Nuan Nuan, can Grandpa be moved?"
Jiang Nuan nodded, "Yes. For safety, send Grandpa to the hospital for a comprehensive examination first."
"Okay!" Mu Jiu Chen immediately contacted an ambulance to take the old man to the hospital.
