Er Zhu approached the sickbed. He untied the bandages from Lin Qingqing’s body, cleaned the wound, and then inserted a silver needle into Chen Xiaozhu.
"Can silver needles also be used to stop bleeding?"
Watching the blood gush out, Lin Qingqing frowned and leaned closer, asking doubtfully.
Acupuncture was for treating illnesses, not for stopping bleeding. She had never heard of it before!
Er Zhu remained silent, continuously twisting the silver needle. In just a few seconds, Lin Qingqing's eyes were filled with shock!
The bleeding had stopped!
And it only took a few seconds!
She had been busy for an hour and couldn't stop the bleeding!
A few seconds versus an hour. This was the gap between her and the divine doctor.
The more Lin Qingqing watched, the more amazed she became. The more amazed she was, the more she admired Er Zhu, her gaze becoming even more infatuated.
"Er Zhu! Er Zhu!"
Just as Lin Qingqing was staring at Er Zhu like a doting admirer, Liu Changfa's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Lin Qingqing shivered and quickly lowered her head.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" Er Zhu quickly covered Chen Xiaozhu with the quilt before going to meet Liu Changfa.
Although Xiao Xuan's condition had not improved, it was not worsening. Apart from Xiao Xuan's matter, Er Zhu couldn't think of any other reason why Liu Changfa would be so anxious.
"That… that…"
Liu Changfa wanted to speak, but seeing that there was someone else in the room, he could only swallow the words that were about to come out.
This matter was crucial to him, and the fewer people who knew, the better!
"Qingqing, you should go out and rest first." Er Zhu saw Liu Changfa constantly looking at Lin Qingqing and guessed his hesitation. He then made up a reason to ask Lin Qingqing to leave.
Although Lin Qingqing was curious about why Mayor Liu was looking for Er Zhu, since the other party didn't want her to know, she naturally wouldn't pry.
After all, everyone had their own secrets, and as a pampered daughter of a wealthy family, she understood this principle even more.
"Brother Liu, tell me what's wrong. Miss Chen is still unconscious and can't hear."
Only after Lin Qingqing had closed the door and Er Zhu pointed to Chen Xiaozhu on the bed did Liu Changfa breathe a sigh of relief.
"Er Zhu, I have something to ask of you, and you must help me!"
Liu Changfa sighed and was about to kneel down to Er Zhu as he spoke.
As a young master from a prominent family and an official with a bright political future, Liu Changfa had never begged anyone. Yet now, he could only seek Er Zhu's help!
"Brother Liu, what are you doing? Just tell me what you need to say. We don't need to be like this."
Er Zhu helped him up and settled him onto the sofa. Liu Changfa then began to explain.
It turned out that ever since Xiao Xuan's father died in an accident, the Chang family had never taken care of Xiao Xuan, even forcing him to change his surname. Moreover, when Liu Changfa heard about Er Zhu being assassinated, he felt that something was amiss.
"Er Zhu, the reason Chang Xiaoning doesn't want you to treat Xiao Xuan is not just because she doesn't believe in your medical skills, but because she doesn't want Xiao Xuan to recover. I've investigated, and Chang Xiaoning wants to swallow the Chang family whole. Er Zhu, I beg you to help Xiao Xuan reclaim the Chang family!"
Finally, Liu Changfa sighed again, holding Er Zhu's hand with anticipation and pleading.
He had not wanted to get involved in such matters, but seeing how pitiful Xiao Xuan was, he couldn't bear to abandon him.
However, as a government official, it was inconvenient for him to interfere in the internal struggles of wealthy families. Liu Qing was completely unreliable. After much deliberation, he came to beg Er Zhu.
"Er Zhu, this is the first time I, Liu Changfa, am asking you, and it will be the last. You must agree to my request."
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Liu Changfa gripped Er Zhu's hand tighter. He slowly stood up, intending to kneel down again.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu. Leave this to me."
Seeing Liu Changfa about to kneel again, Er Zhu pulled him up once more and nodded gently.
He actually didn't want to get involved in the feuds of wealthy families, but since Liu Changfa had asked him, it wouldn't hurt to help.
Besides, that child Xiao Xuan was truly pitiful. Helping him would be a virtuous deed.
"Thank you. With your words, I am at ease."
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Liu Changfa clasped his hands together in thanks, his worried heart finally at peace.
"However, Er Zhu, you must also be careful. Chang Xiaoning is ruthless. If you can't help, you don't have to force yourself."
As Liu Changfa was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly returned to remind him.
Although this matter was very important, if it came at the cost of his life, then it wasn't worth it.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu. I will definitely ensure that the Chang family is handed over to Xiao Xuan."
Er Zhu smiled slightly, patted Liu Changfa on the shoulder, comforted him a few more words, and then saw Liu Changfa off.
As a member of the Luo family in the capital, Er Zhu had long seen through the schemes and intrigues of wealthy families.
Moreover, Chang Xiaoning had once sent people to assassinate him. He had plenty of ways to reclaim the Chang family!
After entrusting Chen Xiaozhu to Lin Qingqing's care, Er Zhu went to the Chang family.
Meanwhile, Chang Xiaoning had also investigated all of Er Zhu's background. Upon seeing the information, Chang Xiaoning burst into laughter.
Village chief of Liuzhen Shililiu Village?
The richest man in Liuzhen, Linshi City, and Guangyuan County?
These two titles would be shocking in Liuzhen, but in Huabei City, they were a joke!
"I thought he was some kind of master, but he's just a bumpkin from Liuzhen. No wonder he knows Liu Changfa!"
Chang Xiaoning smiled coyly, casually tossed Er Zhu's file into the trash can, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the flat-topped villa.
Since Er Zhu was merely a nouveau riche from the town, she would not be polite.
"Miss, that Wang Er Zhu has come knocking!"
Just as Chang Xiaoning was planning to assassinate Er Zhu again, the butler suddenly rushed in breathlessly to report.
Chang Xiaoning's attempt to assassinate Er Zhu was not a secret in the Chang family, but the result had shocked everyone!
For fifty years, no one had been able to kill even one soldier of the Chang family!
And it was such a young person!
"He's here at the right time. Let him in, and hide the bodyguards."
The butler wanted to say something, but seeing Chang Xiaoning's confident demeanor, he could only retreat quickly.
Chang Xiaoning smiled coyly, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes, and a wicked smile playing on her lips.
She had been wondering how to kill this nouveau riche, but unexpectedly, he had delivered himself to her doorstep!
This fool who didn't know his own limits!
"Sister, do you have to be like this? That Wang Er Zhu is very skilled. The Chang family bodyguards are no match for him!"
Just as Chang Xiaoning was about to go and meet Er Zhu, a woman's voice suddenly came from upstairs.
This person was none other than Chang Xiaoning's sister, Xiao Xuan's second aunt, Chang Xiaolin.
And she was the only one in the Chang family who had always cared about Xiao Xuan.
