Mrs. Zhang was instantly terrified.
She rushed forward to support Old Master Zhang and cried out loudly, "Dad! Dad, don't do this!"
That's right.
Old Master Zhang had fainted!
The attending retainer, seeing this, quickly picked up Old Master Zhang and placed him on the bed.
Mrs. Zhang followed closely.
Looking at Old Master Zhang's dazed appearance on the bed.
Her face turned ashen, and her body trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind!
"Dad, don't scare me."
"De Shuang has already been captured, the Zhang family cannot be without you now!"
Mrs. Zhang sobbed.
Fortunately.
Old Master Zhang had only suffered a temporary surge of blood to the head.
The retainer pinched his philtrum, and soon Old Master Zhang slowly regained consciousness.
"Crying, what's the use?"
Old Master Zhang's voice was weak, but his words still carried immense authority!
"Dad, I know I was wrong."
Mrs. Zhang still couldn't stop her tears.
Heaven knows, when Old Master Zhang collapsed just now, her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest!
Fortunately.
It was only a brief faint.
Otherwise, with the vast Zhang family left with only Mrs. Zhang as the principal manager.
She would likely have collapsed before she could even do anything!
"Dad, how can we think of a way to rescue De Shuang and the two of them?"
Mrs. Zhang asked in panic.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
"Don't rush, let me think."
Old Master Zhang coughed violently, then leaned against the bedside table, pondering.
Now that Zhang De Shuang was caught red-handed.
The previous methods to rescue Zhang Shaohua and Zhang De Shuang were no longer feasible.
Therefore, there was only one way left...
"Li Feng, it seems this matter still requires your help!" Old Master Zhang said suddenly.
Mrs. Zhang's original name was Shi Lifeng.
She was the daughter of the Shi family in Jiangnan Province.
After marrying Zhang De Shuang, everyone called her Madam.
Rarely did they call her by her name.
Thus, when Old Master Zhang suddenly called her name, Shi Lifeng didn't react immediately.
After a while, Shi Lifeng said hoarsely, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Shaohua is my son, De Shuang is my husband, how can there be talk of asking for help?"
"Instead, if you have a way, quickly tell me!"
"Lest they truly be lost to the Dragon Team if we are too late!"
Shi Lifeng sounded extremely anxious.
This reassured Old Master Zhang considerably.
He coughed and said, "The current plan is for you to go to Jiangnan Province as soon as possible and ask the Shi family for help!"
When Shi Lifeng and Zhang De Shuang got married.
The Shi family in Jiangnan Province was merely at the cusp of becoming a first-class family.
Compared to the Zhang family back then, it was not even in the same league!
Later, through many years of development and operation.
The Shi family had slowly risen.
Moreover, the Shi family had many daughters.
Most of them were married off as tools for alliances.
It was difficult for the Shi family not to develop!
Leveraging this favorable trend.
The Shi family was now a leader among the first-class families in Jiangnan Province.
It even faintly showed signs of becoming a super first-class family.
The only method Old Master Zhang could think of now was to seek help from the Shi family to bail out Zhang De Shuang and his son.
As for other connections, either they couldn't afford the expense.
Or their strength was insufficient!
Shi Lifeng hadn't expected the old master to make such a request.
Her eyes widened instantly, and she felt a wave of anxiety.
"Dad, the Shi family... the Shi family might not help us."
Shi Lifeng said with difficulty.
Don't mistake her for the precious daughter of the Shi family.
To the Shi family, Shi Lifeng was merely a tool for an arranged marriage.
In the past, when the Zhang family had any benefits.
Those members of the Shi family would swarm to compete for them!
But if the Zhang family fell into trouble.
The Shi family would not be so kind.
They might even explicitly distance themselves from the Zhang family upon hearing the news!
Especially since Zhang De Shuang and Zhang Shaohua were captured by the Dragon Team.
The Shi family would be even less likely to help!
Shi Lifeng was very clear about this.
"Cough!"
"If I tell you to go, you go! Don't worry about anything else!"
Old Master Zhang coughed in anger.
He nearly blacked out again.
This Shi Lifeng was truly clueless!
At this moment, she was still thinking about whether the Shi family would help?
They would know for sure only after asking!
"Understood, Dad." Shi Lifeng immediately lowered her head.
With Old Master Zhang's guidance.
Shi Lifeng, regardless of what was on her mind.
She immediately left the Zhang family that very night.
The black business car slowly disappeared into the night.
Meanwhile.
In Yunhai City, Yun Lan Heavenly Palace.
Zhou Yu was comfortably soaking in a bath in a pool.
wisps of steam rose from the water.
Filling the entire pool with a fragrant aroma.
Just as Zhou Yu was enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
Ring, ring, ring—
Zhou Yu's handsome eyebrows shot up. He picked up his phone and looked at it.
"Jin Shenghuo, this kid, why is he calling me?"
Zhou Yu muttered to himself and then pressed the answer button.
He heard Jin Shenghuo say urgently, "Doctor Zhou, I apologize for the disturbance."
"Calling at this hour, I have a favor to ask!"
Zhou Yu placed a towel on his forehead, his eyes half-closed. "Speak."
"My maternal grandfather, Xie Jingyun from Xie family in Jiangnan City, is critically ill. I implore Doctor Zhou to help!"
Jin Shenghuo spoke very quickly.
Even though Zhou Yu hadn't seen Jin Shenghuo's face, he could tell that Jin Shenghuo must be extremely anxious at this moment!
Xie family?
Zhou Yu's eyes were half-closed, and after a moment of thought, he remained silent.
Jin Shenghuo on the other end of the line couldn't wait any longer.
"As long as Doctor Zhou is willing to help, no matter the cost, the Jin and Xie families will do their utmost!"
Jin Shenghuo's single sentence was enough to indicate how severe Xie Jingyun's condition was!
The entire Jiangnan City presented a tripartite standoff.
The Xie family was one of the three great families in Jiangnan City.
Furthermore, the Xie family was related by marriage to the Jin family of Yunhai City and was Jin Shenghuo's maternal relatives!
Zhou Yu couldn't help but wonder.
Jin Shenghuo should still be at the freshman training base.
How did he find out that Xie Jingyun was ill?
And how did he seek help from himself?
After all, although Zhou Yu was a member of the observation group at the freshman training base.
He had basically no contact with Jin Shenghuo.
Jin Shenghuo also didn't know the specifics of Zhou Yu's medical skills.
But now, Jin Shenghuo's words were very certain.
He wasn't saying that if Doctor Zhou could cure Xie Jingyun, he would offer a generous gift.
Instead, he said that if Doctor Zhou could help, they would pay any price!
Jin Shenghuo was very confident that Zhou Yu could definitely save the person!
"To be honest, I'm actually not too keen on traveling such a long distance," Zhou Yu said faintly.
He had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Even though the Jin family was protected by Yun Yanlan, Zhou Yu didn't want to agree so rashly!
Jin Shenghuo heard this and was immediately so anxious he was about to jump.
He clenched the phone and after a long while managed to say, "Doctor Zhou, please."
"How do you know I can definitely cure him?" Zhou Yu asked in return.
