Jie Shishi’s current demeanor clearly showed she suspected Shi Zhenxiang.
But what did that matter?
Second Uncle Jie believed he understood the siblings very well.
Jie Shishi might act on impulse.
But Jie Yu would not.
Even if Jie Yu harbored suspicions about Shi Zhenxiang, he would never risk Grandpa Jie’s life without absolute certainty!
Therefore, Second Uncle Jie was certain.
Jie Yu would follow his instructions and stop Jie Shishi.
As Second Uncle Jie waited with full confidence,
Jie Yu slowly spoke.
"Second Uncle, I think you might have misunderstood something."
Second Uncle Jie looked at Jie Yu in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
But soon.
Jie Yu provided the answer.
"Dad, please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound came from Grandpa Jie's room.
Someone pushed the door open and entered.
Although Second Uncle Jie didn't turn his head, his sense of unease surged to its peak!
He stiffly turned his neck.
And saw.
A man in a suit standing at the doorway.
His face was identical to Jie Yu's!
"B-Big Brother, why are you back?"
Second Uncle Jie flinched, stepping back repeatedly, his face pale, his lips trembling.
Patriarch Jie looked at Second Uncle Jie with a forced smile, retorting, "What, you don't wish for me to be back?"
Second Uncle Jie quickly waved his hands.
It was a joke.
He could still assert his seniority before Jie Yu.
But before Patriarch Jie, he could only bow his head!
Heaven knew how terrified Second Uncle Jie was now.
The clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
Patriarch Jie, accustomed to a position of authority, exuded an aura of inherent dignity.
Coupled with the fact that Second Uncle Jie had colluded with outsiders to commit such a shameful deed.
He was even more afraid to face Patriarch Jie!
"Yesterday, Xiao Yu told me you invited the divine doctor Shi to treat Grandfather."
"Not bad, you've grown quite capable."
Patriarch Jie said meaningfully.
This made Second Uncle Jie break out in an even colder sweat.
He repeatedly uttered apologies, claiming he dared not.
Inside, he cursed Jie Yu profusely!
This brat was truly meddlesome.
He actually summoned Patriarch Jie back!
According to Second Uncle Jie's plan, Patriarch Jie was supposed to be notified of the funeral only after Grandpa Jie was beyond saving.
Then, he would frame Jie Yu and Jie Shishi,
And in front of the numerous Jie family members, he would bring down Patriarch Jie!
But now...
Grandpa Jie was not dead yet!
And he couldn't die!
Otherwise, Patriarch Jie would absolutely not let them off.
With this thought, Second Uncle Jie immediately exchanged a look with Shi Zhenxiang.
Hoping Shi Zhenxiang would understand his intentions.
Unfortunately.
Shi Zhenxiang did understand Second Uncle Jie's meaning.
But he had no intention of complying!
Today was a rare opportunity, with both Grandpa Jie and Patriarch Jie present!
If he didn't do something, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
The Shi family and the Jie family had been vying for the position of the top three families for years.
Today, it was time for a resolution!
With this thought, Shi Zhenxiang gave Patriarch Jie a meaningful smile.
While Jie Yu and Jie Shishi were entirely focused on Second Uncle Jie.
Shi Zhenxiang picked up the silver needle, aimed at Grandpa Jie’s temple, and forcefully plunged it in!
"Grandpa!"
Jie Shishi cried out in alarm.
She rushed forward to stop him.
But remember, Shi Zhenxiang was a Postnatal Body Forger.
He might not be much among martial artists.
But dealing with an ordinary person like Jie Shishi was easy!
So, the moment Jie Shishi lunged forward, Shi Zhenxiang reacted.
He directly swept his hand and flung Jie Shishi away!
That wasn't all.
Jie Yu also tried to intervene, but Shi Zhenxiang directly kicked him in the abdomen.
He flew backward!
Bang—
A loud noise echoed.
Patriarch Jie watched helplessly as Shi Zhenxiang was about to harm Grandpa Jie, but he was too far away to do anything.
He could only watch as Shi Zhenxiang raised his hand to insert the needle.
Just as everyone thought it was over.
"Divine Doctor Shi? Quite the audacious claim."
"A wicked heart will not lead you far!"
Zhou Yu's calm voice rang out.
Immediately after.
The silver needle in Shi Zhenxiang's hand fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Zhou Yu grabbed and slapped.
And sent Shi Zhenxiang crashing to the ground!
"What!"
"Postnatal Dark Force?"
Shi Zhenxiang spat out blood, clutching his chest, his face pale with shock, his mouth twitching as he exclaimed.
The palm strike from Zhou Yu just now had directly sent him flying using true qi.
The emission of true qi was one thing.
Zhou Yu had even controlled the force, not killing Shi Zhenxiang outright.
To control true qi to this extent, and to do so imperceptibly.
Only Postnatal Dark Force could achieve that!
"You guessed correctly, but there are no rewards."
Zhou Yu said nonchalantly, not letting Shi Zhenxiang go.
Instead, he directly struck Shi Zhenxiang's dantian with his palm.
Shi Zhenxiang was already injured and had no strength to fight back.
Of course.
Even if he weren't injured, Shi Zhenxiang was merely a Postnatal Body Forger.
He was no match for Zhou Yu; they were not in the same league.
"Ah!"
Amidst Shi Zhenxiang's heart-wrenching screams.
His dantian was destroyed, and all his cultivation turned to naught!
He became a complete cripple!
"Lock him up. I need to treat Grandfather now."
After finishing, Zhou Yu naturally ordered the only person who could move freely, Patriarch Jie.
Patriarch Jie was stunned for a moment.
He then quickly took Jie Yu and the siblings, restrained Shi Zhenxiang and Second Uncle Jie, preventing them from disturbing Zhou Yu's treatment.
Zhou Yu slowly raised his hand.
First, he applied needles to Grandpa Jie.
Then, using the needles as a conductor, he continuously channeled true qi into Grandpa Jie's acupoints.
Stimulating the vitality within Grandpa Jie's body.
This was not Zhou Yu taking a risk.
But a necessary action!
After Shi Zhenxiang's meddling, Grandpa Jie's body was like a dilapidated house riddled with holes.
Now, Grandpa Jie's body needed to be forcefully stimulated to generate vitality.
Only then could he accept further treatment!
After finishing.
Zhou Yu immediately administered the prepared medicine to Grandpa Jie.
This morning, upon hearing that Patriarch Jie had returned.
Zhou Yu had already anticipated.
That the moment Patriarch Jie returned, it would be the moment Shi Zhenxiang and Second Uncle Jie made their final desperate move.
Thus, he had prepared the decoction in advance.
To prevent any accidents!
And now it had come in handy!
On Patriarch Jie's side, after restraining Shi Zhenxiang, he looked at Zhou Yu with complex emotions.
He didn't know what he was thinking.
Jie Yu quickly stepped forward to explain.
"This is Divine Doctor Zhou, introduced by Jin Shenghuo. It was also Divine Doctor Zhou who informed us that Shi Zhenxiang and Second Uncle intended to harm Grandpa."
"Dad, let's take these people outside first, so as not to disturb Divine Doctor Zhou's treatment."
Hearing this, Patriarch Jie nodded slightly.
He led the bound Shi Zhenxiang and Second Uncle Jie out of Grandpa Jie's room.
Leaving the space to Zhou Yu.
