Chapter 15 Heading to the Zhou Family

  • "Another Maybach."
  • "The Qin family must have caught the attention of some important figure."
  • The neighbors in the village all went out to see the commotion, whispering to each other upon seeing the scene.
  • Last time, when He Sanping came to the village in a Rolls-Royce to visit Qin Sheng, it had already attracted a lot of attention.
  • And now, it was a Maybach.
  • Many people were envious.
  • "What important figure?"
  • "What kind of important figure could they have in their family?"
  • A middle-aged woman with a fat face sneered.
  • At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit got out of the car.
  • "Mr. Qin, Miss Zhou sent me to pick you up."
  • The middle-aged man opened the car door and respectfully said to Qin Sheng, who was walking out of the door.
  • Qin Sheng nodded and got into the car under the curious gazes of the crowd.
  • "Who is Miss Zhou?"
  • "Could Qin Sheng have caught the attention of some rich girl?" The neighbors around them discussed.
  • "How is that possible? Qin Sheng is just a delivery guy, not handsome at all. How could a rich girl be interested in him?"
  • The middle-aged woman with a fat face said disdainfully.
  • "If a rich girl really likes someone, it would be someone like my son."
  • "Let me tell you, my son is extraordinary..."
  • Seeing the middle-aged woman starting to boast about her son again, everyone quickly dispersed.
  • The Zhou family held great influence in the entire Jiangnan Province. The Zhou family's patriarch had served in the military and participated in the war in the northern border. The grand mansion of the Zhou family was located in the east of Jiangzhou City, with luxurious and magnificent architecture.
  • The Maybach drove into the courtyard of the Zhou family mansion, and Qin Sheng got out of the car.
  • At this moment, a middle-aged man in a luxurious suit in his fifties came forward.
  • "Old Zhao, who is this guest?"
  • The man saw Qin Sheng getting out of the Maybach and looked unfamiliar.
  • He couldn't help but ask the driver.
  • "Master, this is a distinguished guest invited by the young miss." The driver replied respectfully.
  • "Hmm?" The man was Zhou Haowen, the second son of the Zhou family and the father of Zhou Lingxuan. He frowned upon hearing the driver's answer.
  • The patriarch of the family was critically ill, and there were many things to attend to. It was not appropriate for Zhou Lingxuan to invite guests to the house at this time.
  • Moreover, the guest was dressed plainly and didn't match the status of a distinguished guest.
  • Of course, since it was his daughter who invited him, he couldn't directly drive the guest away.
  • "Old Zhao, take this guest to the reception room."
  • Zhou Haowen didn't even spare a glance at Qin Sheng, nor did he bother to greet or introduce himself. He never thought that Qin Sheng came to see the patriarch.
  • Qin Sheng could naturally sense the man's thoughts, but he didn't mind. He would just take the red envelope and leave later.
  • But at this moment...
  • "Oh no, the patriarch is critically ill!"
  • "Someone, come quick!"
  • A shout came from inside the mansion.
  • Zhou Haowen's face immediately turned pale, and he hurriedly rushed towards the mansion.
  • Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment. After all, he was invited to consult on the patient's condition, so he followed along.
  • Behind the mansion, there was a separate three-story building that had been decorated as a private hospital.
  • Upon entering, Qin Sheng found that the facilities in this private hospital were no worse than those in a regular hospital. When he entered the ward, he saw an old man with white hair and a withered face lying on the bed, his eyes closed, already in a coma.
  • Several doctors in white coats stood by, helpless.
  • Only an elderly Chinese medicine doctor with a ruddy complexion was carefully taking the pulse of the old man.
  • At this moment, Zhou Haowen, who had rushed in first, anxiously asked the old Chinese medicine doctor, "Old Lin, what's wrong with my father?"
  • The renowned Chinese medicine expert in the southeast, Lin Zhenghua, was the one he was addressing.
  • Lin Zhenghua furrowed his brows and looked serious.
  • "The situation of Brother Zhou is not optimistic. The cold toxin has invaded his heart and lungs."
  • "I can only do my best."
  • As he spoke, he carefully inserted several silver needles into the acupoints on the chest of the old patriarch. With his movements, the old man's breathing became more stable, but he remained unconscious.
  • Qin Sheng watched Lin Zhenghua's actions, lost in thought.
  • Upon hearing Lin Zhenghua's words, Zhou Haowen's face turned pale.
  • If even the renowned Chinese medicine expert, Lin Zhenghua, said so, did it mean that the patriarch was beyond saving?
  • "Grandfather!" accompanied by a shout.
  • Zhou Lingxuan rushed in from outside.
  • "Grandfather, what happened to you?" Seeing the withered face and unconscious state of the old patriarch, Zhou Lingxuan couldn't help but cry out with a trembling voice.
  • "Lingxuan, calm down. Old Lin is trying his best."
  • Zhou Haowen comforted her beside him.
  • With tears streaming down her face, Zhou Lingxuan suddenly noticed Qin Sheng standing beside them.
  • She couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
  • "You're here! Please save my grandfather!"
  • Zhou Lingxuan grabbed Qin Sheng, as if she had caught a life-saving straw.
