Chapter 64: Sixty-four, Block Chapter 64: Sixty-four, Block “Father!” Wu Tianci called out loudly upon seeing no reaction from Old Sir Wu.
“Enough, you two don’t need to worry about this matter,” Old Sir Wu waved his hand toward Wu Tianming and Wu Tianci, a hint of disappointment visible in his eyes.
“Father!” Wu Tianci and Wu Tianming protested discontentedly. Father is really getting senile, how could he believe the words of two strangers?
However, the medical skill of the grandfather-grandson duo had indeed taken them by surprise. Many renowned doctors had examined Tian Peng without detecting the poison he had been afflicted with, yet these two had identified it instantly. No, they had to intervene.
Old Sir Wu ignored them and turned to Song Yan Ning and Yang Lisheng, “Can the poison be completely removed?” He truly didn’t want to see Tian Peng in pain anymore.
Song Yan Ning looked at Yang Lisheng, who nodded slightly, signalling her to speak.
“Yes, a single acupuncture session will expel the toxins from his body. However, he will need some time to recuperate and fully recover,” Song Yan Ning confidently declared.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaojuan’s face lit up with excitement as she grasped Wu Tingfeng’s hand, “Did you hear that? Your father’s illness can be cured, he won’t have to endure the pain anymore.”
“I heard, Mom,” Wu Tingfeng nodded happily. He felt very fortunate to have encountered Mr. Yang and his granddaughter among a sea of faces.
“Then please, take care of him!” Old Sir Wu stood up and bowed to Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning. Tian Peng was the Wu Family’s hope; only if his health improved could their family business reach new heights. If he left the family’s businesses to his eldest and third sons, within half a year everything would be squandered. He knew his sons well—this was the reason he had been reluctant to relinquish control. As for Xiao Feng, he was too young and still needed more experience.
Song Yan Ning had already stepped aside to avoid the bow from Old Sir Wu before it was given.
Yang Lisheng stood up, waving his hand, “Mr. Wu, you are too polite; to treat and save people is our duty.”
Old Sir Wu looked at Yang Lisheng with admiration, “Shall we start the treatment now?” He hoped Tian Peng would recover quickly.
Yang Lisheng nodded, “Prepare a room for us, we can start now.”
“Let’s go to my room,” Tian Peng spoke up. He too wanted to get better soon, to walk in the sunlight and enjoy its warmth like everyone else. It had been years since he could stroll on his own; even when he went out, he was confined to a wheelchair, and the pitying looks from passers-by made him prefer staying at home.
“Okay,” Old Sir Wu nodded in agreement.
“Xiao Feng, help your father to the room,” Ling Xiaojuan instructed Wu Tingfeng while assisting Tian Peng to stand.
Wu Tingfeng quickly stepped forward, helping Tian Peng up from each side together with Ling Xiaojuan.
Wu Tianming and Wu Tianci exchanged glances, stepping forward to block the trio’s path, looking at Old Sir Wu, “Father, you haven’t clarified their background yet. What if they harbor ill intentions? Tian Peng could be at risk.”
“Yes, after all, Xiao Feng met them on the road; there’s too much coincidence in the world to know their true purpose in coming to the Wu Family.”
“Father, you must think this through, please don’t make a wrong decision.”
“Big brother, third brother, don’t worry about me; I trust them,” Tian Peng said trustingly as he looked at Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning.
“Tian Peng, Big Brother knows you want to get better quickly, and I also wish for your swift recovery, but they are not doctors. You cannot pin your hopes on them. If something happens to you, the whole family will be heartbroken,” Wu Tianming earnestly advised.
Wu Tianci nodded in agreement, “Exactly, Second Brother, hasn’t Father already contacted Dr. Xu? Let him treat you when he comes; his medical skills are excellent, he will surely cure you.” After driving away this grandfather-grandson duo, he had to increase the medication dosage; he absolutely couldn’t let his second brother have a chance to recover. The Wu Family’s businesses belonged to him and his big brother; no one else should even dream about it.
“Move aside!” Old Sir Wu commanded sternly.
“Father, we are doing this for Tian Peng’s good.”
“Even if you blame us, we can’t let Second Brother take such a risk,” Wu Tianming and Wu Tianci stood firmly in front of Tian Peng. Today, they were definitely not going to allow this grandfather-grandson duo to treat Tian Peng.
Ling Xiaojuan and Wu Tingfeng frowned as they looked at Wu Tianming and Wu Tianci, their eyes filled with anger. They really wanted to push them aside, but their status didn’t allow them to do so, and they were currently supporting someone.
“Big Brother, Third Uncle, if you really want what’s best for my father, please step aside,” Wu Tingfeng could no longer contain himself. If they weren’t his elders, he would have taken action already.
“Do you need help?” Song Yan Ning interjected. She found these hypocritical brothers absolutely nauseating.
Wu Tingfeng was surprised by Song Yan Ning’s offer. What could she, at her young age, possibly do to help?
Song Yan Ning curled her lips into a smile, “I have my ways.”
“Okay!” Wu Tingfeng nodded, a look of anticipation in his eyes. What would she do?
Song Yan Ning winked at Wu Tingfeng and with a flick of her fingers, shot two small stones swiftly from her hands, too fast for anyone to see clearly.
As they were persuading Tian Peng, the two brothers suddenly froze, their incessant chatter halted.
Wu Tingfeng looked in astonishment at the immobile Wu Tianming and Wu Tianci, disbelief filling his eyes, “What’s wrong with them?” He had only seen Song Yan Ning flick her fingers, and then they were like this.
“I targeted their acupoints; they won’t be able to move for a while. Come on, let’s take your father to the room,” Song Yan Ning smiled, stepping forward.
Wu Tingfeng nodded, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, “Mom, let’s help Dad to the room.” He had truly encountered a master; he was extremely lucky.
Old Sir Wu glanced at the motionless Wu Tianci and Wu Tianming, a complex look in his eyes as he sighed and followed the others.
Wu Tianming and Wu Tianci watched the departing group, feeling furious and anxious, yet they were powerless to act. What angered them most was that their plan was likely to fail.
