After leaving Langyun Pavilion, Lin Xiaotian's face was flushed red. He had never been so angered in his life!
He was considered a top genius by his master, yet he was ridiculed by his mistress to this extent today!
It seemed he couldn't be so careless in his actions from now on.
"Then who orchestrated everything last night?"
Lin Xiaotian pondered with his chin in his hand but couldn't figure out the truth. He had no choice but to return to the Chu Group for now.
Meanwhile, at the Long Family Manor.
Long Shanshan had already returned to the Long family with the medicine. She rushed to her father's bedroom and handed the medicine she had obtained to the private physician. She earnestly told the physician, "Dr. Zhang, please administer this medicine to my father quickly. I obtained this from Medicine King Valley."
"Young lady, you actually went to Medicine King Valley? I've told you many times that the master you met was just trying to scam you out of your money. The place he mentioned wouldn't have the medicine your father needs."
"Your father's condition is now beyond saving. There is no cure in this world. In my opinion, young lady, you should come to terms with it and prepare for your father's funeral."
Dr. Zhang had never believed the words of that master from the beginning. Long Shanshan's trip to Medicine King Valley this time was also her own wishful thinking.
Hearing this, Long Shanshan's expression turned extremely cold. She said angrily, "Dr. Zhang, I respect you as a senior, and I won't argue with you about what you just said. But the medicine I brought can definitely save my father. Hurry and give it to him."
"Shanshan, Dr. Zhang means well. Don't blame him."
Standing beside them was a middle-aged woman in elegant attire. She had fair skin and bore some resemblance to Long Shanshan. She was Long Shanshan's mother, Zhou Cuihua.
"Mom, don't you believe me either? This medicine really works. I obtained it from the young master of Medicine King Valley. That young master's medical skills are incredibly potent; there's no illness he can't cure. This medicine I brought, once administered, will bring my father back to life."
Long Shanshan stomped her feet anxiously, her brows furrowed as she explained.
However, Zhou Cuihua and Dr. Zhang still didn't believe her, shaking their heads and sighing. This was the fate of the Long family.
Helpless, Long Shanshan suddenly stepped forward, snatched the medicine from Dr. Zhang's hand, went to her father's side, and without any hesitation, forced the medicine into his mouth.
At that moment, Dr. Zhang and Zhou Cuihua's faces changed drastically.
Dr. Zhang's heart sank. He rushed forward to stop her, saying, "Young lady, no! This will only hasten the老爷's death. He needs peace right now. You can't do this."
"Get out of my way!"
Long Shanshan turned around and kicked Dr. Zhang to the ground. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, she fed the entire bottle of medicine to her father.
As the bottle was emptied, she looked at her father with great anticipation, waiting for him to wake up.
Zhou Cuihua's face tightened. She knew nothing could be changed now. Her husband had taken the medicine, and all she could do was pray.
Pfft!
Within minutes, the old master Long, lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, his face covered in bulging veins. He clenched his fists tightly, rolled over on the bed, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
A moment later, the old master collapsed back onto the bed, falling unconscious.
This scene shocked Long Shanshan and the others!
"It's over, it's all over. Shanshan, you've caused a great disaster."
Zhou Cuihua anxiously slapped her thighs, pushed Long Shanshan away in anger, and asked Dr. Zhang to examine her husband.
Dr. Zhang did not hesitate. He quickly leaned over and checked the old master's pulse.
Long Shanshan stood there in a daze, looking incredulous. She shook her head and said, "This is impossible. Young Master Lin wouldn't lie to me. He said this medicine could save my father. Why isn't it working?"
"Alas, your father has now passed away."
After a thorough diagnosis, Dr. Zhang sighed heavily and shook his head.
Rumble!
Zhou Cuihua and Long Shanshan's hearts simultaneously skipped a beat. They stumbled back several steps. Zhou Cuihua couldn't accept the reality and collapsed onto the ground.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from Long Shanshan's eyes. She never imagined that this bottle of medicine would lead to such an outcome.
Could it be that Medicine King Valley and what Lin Xiaotian said were all lies?
"Shanshan, you actually killed your own father with your own hands. How could you be so heartless?"
After sobbing a few times, Zhou Cuihua gradually regained her senses and pointed at Long Shanshan, scolding her.
"Mom, I didn't mean to. I didn't expect this outcome either. I'll go find that Lin Xiaotian right now. I'll make him pay a hundredfold."
Long Shanshan wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up, and prepared to take her sword to find Lin Xiaotian.
Even if she couldn't defeat him, she would die with him.
But!
Just as she picked up her sword and was about to leave the bedroom, a coughing sound suddenly came from the sickbed behind her. She turned her head in surprise and saw her father propping himself up and sitting on the bed.
"Dad?"
Long Shanshan's anger turned to joy. She quickly dropped her sword and rushed to her father's side like the wind, supporting him. "Dad, you're awake! That's wonderful. I thought I would never see you again."
"Shanshan, don't cry. I'm fine. I won't leave you."
Old Master Long coughed lightly, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile.
He didn't know what had happened to him earlier. He could clearly hear everyone's conversation but couldn't open his eyes.
In fact, this was the effect of the medicine Lin Xiaotian had prepared.
Before waking up, patients needed to experience a period of suspended animation to activate their meridians!
Dr. Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed Old Master Long waking up. He asked in astonishment, "What is going on? I clearly diagnosed that the old master had no pulse just now. How is he awake now?"
"Dr. Zhang, what are you waiting for? Hurry and examine the old master's body!"
Zhou Cuihua was also extremely excited. She had thought her husband was dead just moments ago, but now, after only a few minutes, he had come back to life and woken up!
Moreover, his complexion now was ruddy, as if he were a healthy person.
"Yes, Madam."
Dr. Zhang did not hesitate. He hurried to Old Master Long's side and began a thorough examination.
After a detailed diagnosis, he turned back to Zhou Cuihua in great surprise and said, "Madam, the old master's illness is now completely cured. Furthermore, several old ailments on his body have also disappeared. The old master is completely recovered!"
"What? Completely recovered? Is this true?"
Zhou Cuihua and Long Shanshan's faces simultaneously lit up with joy!
