Su Qishan and his wife's attitude towards Zhou Yu confused Su Yuyan.
Logically, after seeing Zhou Yu's close ties with Yunhai's richest man at Cloud Mist Villa last time, they should have been respectful upon meeting him again.
However, to her surprise, her father and stepmother still showed Zhou Yu no pleasantries.
What Su Yuyan didn't know was that after the freshman welcoming banquet, Su Qishan and Zhang Rufeng had become more confident in the Zhang family's strength.
After all, within Yunhai City, the Zhang family was the only one that dared to contend with the Jin family!
Alas...
Su Qishan and his wife were unaware that Zhou Yu had completely incapacitated the Zhang family's Houtian Dark Energy master.
The Zhang family was in a panic, with no time to spare for the Su family.
Moreover, Zhang Deshuang did not want other families in Yunhai City to know about the critical matter of their family's resident martial arts master being crippled.
They would keep it hidden for as long as possible.
Until a new Houtian Dark Energy master could be found.
This was the only solution the Zhang family could think of.
"Dad, Zhou Yu is indeed a divine doctor. A few days ago, when I went to the Fifth Hospital with him, I personally saw him cure our Yunhai City Mayor. If you don't believe me, you can go and inquire."
Su Yuyan felt it was necessary to make her father understand how capable Zhou Yu truly was!
"The Mayor?"
Hearing this, Su Qishan's gaze towards Zhou Yu changed instantly.
"Yes, Mayor Wu!" Su Yuyan added.
The Su family had no means of gathering intelligence.
Therefore, it was normal for Su Qishan and Zhang Rufeng to be unaware of this matter.
"..."
Seeing his daughter's earnest expression, Su Qishan fell silent.
On one hand, he had already believed the information Su Yuyan had revealed.
Zhou Yu could be a martial arts master, capable of killing dozens of Zhang family thugs and two martial arts masters.
Why couldn't he be a divine doctor?
Many things might be explainable once or twice.
But it had happened so many times now!
Su Qishan did not want to be proven wrong by Zhou Yu again!
On the other hand, if Zhou Yu were truly a divine doctor, it would be the worst news.
If this young man could cure the Mayor's illness, he would likely be able to cure Old Master Su as well!
But this was not what Su Qishan and Zhang Rufeng desired.
"Zhou Yu, we didn't ask you to treat the Old Master. Are you harboring intentions towards our Su family by approaching us through Yuyan?"
Sensing the escalating crisis, Zhang Rufeng's voice lost its confidence.
But she had to brace herself and step forward.
"You're so unwilling for me to treat Old Master Su, are you perhaps afraid?" Zhou Yu chuckled lightly.
Zhang Rufeng's behavior was too obvious.
Zhou Yu suspected that Su Yuyan's stepmother was highly suspicious!
Of course, he couldn't be certain yet.
He would only be able to draw a conclusion after examining Old Master Su.
"Afraid? Don't talk nonsense! What is there for me to be afraid of? I'm delighted!" Zhang Rufeng said with a smile.
However, any discerning eye could see how forced her smile was.
Zhou Yu did not expose her.
Once the results were out, everything would be revealed.
Anything said now was merely speculation.
At this moment, Su Qishan said, "Since the divine doctor Yuyan mentioned is you, then let her take you to see the Old Master."
"Su Qishan, you..."
Hearing this, Zhang Rufeng was about to object.
But Su Qishan glared at her.
Seeing this.
Zhang Rufeng relented.
The things she and her husband had done in secret were not something that could be brought to light.
"Zhou Yu, come with me. My grandfather is in the room over there."
Su Yuyan's pretty face beamed with a smile.
She led Zhou Yu away, quickly disappearing from Su Qishan and Zhang Rufeng's sight.
After they left.
Zhang Rufeng asked in confusion, "We're letting Zhou Yu treat the Old Master, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"Rufeng, do you remember what you promised me back then?" Su Qishan retorted.
"I said the medicine wouldn't be detected, but..."
"Although I hate to admit it, all our Su family's bodyguards combined couldn't defeat Zhou Yu. Moreover, we can't possibly call the law enforcement team to drive him away. Doing so would be akin to walking into a trap. Since that's the case, our only hope now lies in the colorless and odorless nature you mentioned earlier."
"It should be fine. Dozens of doctors have examined him before and found nothing."
"But he's Zhou Yu! How many times has he embarrassed us?"
"..."
Zhang Rufeng was speechless.
From the first time she met Zhou Yu until now, she and her husband had indeed been thoroughly humiliated by him too many times.
Unexpectedly, this young man was not only a martial arts master but also a divine doctor.
If he had some background, the Su family wouldn't have resorted to a family alliance to marry Su Yuyan into the Zhang family.
No!
There was no turning back now.
"You wait outside the Old Master's room. I'll go and prepare."
Su Qishan said, about to leave.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Rufeng frowned.
She thought her husband was going to betray her.
As the saying goes, a couple are birds of the same forest, but disaster strikes, they fly in different directions.
She worried that Su Qishan intended to sacrifice his pawn to save his queen.
Su Qishan said, "Don't overthink it. I'm just going to make some further preparations, in case the worst-case scenario occurs."
Zhang Rufeng gritted her teeth, "Don't lie to me."
"Don't worry, why would I lie to you? You've been married to me for so many years, you know how well I treat you, don't you?"
Su Qishan patted her arm, his face full of doting affection.
He was indeed going to make thorough preparations.
This way, even if Zhou Yu discovered any clues, he would still find a way to extricate himself.
For this, Su Qishan needed to find a scapegoat.
...
In Old Master Su's room.
Feeling several warm currents flowing into his body, Old Master Su slowly opened his eyes. The first things that met his gaze were his lovely granddaughter and a young man.
"Grandpa, you're awake!" Su Yuyan exclaimed.
When she and Zhou Yu entered, Old Master Su was asleep.
Su Yuyan had wanted to wake him up, but Zhou Yu said it was unnecessary.
"Yuyan, he is..."
Before Su Yuyan could answer, Zhou Yu preempted her with a smile, "Old Master Su, my name is Zhou Yu. You should remember this name, shouldn't you?"
"Zhou... Zhou Yu... Zhou Yu? It's you!"
Upon realizing who it was, Old Master Su became very emotional.
Zhou Yu quickly held him down and pointed at the trembling acupuncture needles, saying, "Old Master Su, it's best for you not to move right now. Once I remove these needles, you'll be able to sit up."
"You understand medicine?"
As soon as he asked this question, Old Master Su cursed himself for being foolish.
Zhou Yu was, after all, a disciple of that person, so how could he not understand medicine?
Back in the day, he also...
Just as Old Master Su was recalling past events, Zhou Yu had already withdrawn the acupuncture needles.
Su Yuyan leaned closer, asking nervously, "Zhou Yu, did you find anything?"
"Someone poisoned him," Zhou Yu slowly uttered the four words.
