85: Long Wu's mother is cured! The Zheng family patriarch was astonished!

"Hey! Stop, stop, stop!"

The office door was suddenly pulled open.

Lin Chuan stood at the door with a helpless expression, his hands raised in a gesture of surrender.

"I say, you two beauties, don't fight. Harmony brings wealth! ...Mmph!!"

Before he could finish his sentence...

A gust of fragrant wind hit him in the face.

Chu Yueli was truly a wild one!

Since she couldn't win the argument, she went straight for action!

She took a step forward, her slender arms like two beautiful snakes, tightly coiling around Lin Chuan's neck.

Standing on her tiptoes...

Her small mouth, painted with fiery red lipstick, pressed against his without a word.

"Mmph..."

Lin Chuan's eyes instantly widened.

This wasn't just a light peck!

This was a full-blown French kiss!

Chu Yueli was pulling out all the stops, her lilac tongue driving straight in with an intoxicating aggressiveness.

It was like she was declaring her sovereignty: This man belongs to me!

Officer Su Qingyi, standing nearby, was dumbfounded.

"You! You're truly shameless!!"

Officer Su Qingyi was so angry her hair was practically standing on end.

In broad daylight!

Under the clear sky!

How dare she act so rowdy right in front of a police officer?!

And she's kissing the person I want to kiss too!

"Get off him right now! You're just kissing him randomly, do you know that?!!"

Officer Su Qingyi was also getting desperate, her stubborn streak flaring up.

"Get off!!"

Officer Su Qingyi grabbed Chu Yueli's shoulder and violently pushed her aside.

Before Lin Chuan could even catch his breath...

Another small, elegant mouth with a hint of minty flavor blocked his again.

Although Officer Su Qingyi wasn't as skilled or as wild as Chu Yueli...

This clumsiness and urgency were actually more heart-stirring.

"Oh my! Mmph!!"

Lin Chuan felt like he was about to suffocate.

What kind of situation was this?

Attacked from both sides?

"Oh, holy crap!!"

Just then, several female employees carrying documents happened to pass by the hallway.

Seeing this explosive scene, the folders in their hands fell to the floor with a clatter.

They all covered their eyes, but the gaps between their fingers were wider than a cow's eyes.

"The boss is awesome!"

"Is... is that the police beauty and the underworld heiress?"

"This is too intense! Let's go, let's go! Don't look until you go blind!"

The employees had 'auntie smiles' on their faces as they quickly ran away on their tiptoes, afraid of disturbing their boss's good fortune.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control and Lin Chuan felt like he was going to be sucked dry by these two vixens...

"Ring ring ring!!"

The Nokia in his pocket rang!

This sound was simply a life-saving melody!

Lin Chuan took advantage of the moment they paused for air to push them both away, separating the two red-faced and panting women.

"Stop!! The phone! I have serious business!"

Lin Chuan quickly pulled out his phone and pressed the answer button without even looking.

"Hello?! Second Brother!"

"Huh? The ribbon-cutting is about to start? Good, good, good! I'll be right there!"

"It's extremely urgent, right? I'm flying over now!"

In reality, on the other end of the line, Lin He had only just managed to say 'hello.'

Lin Chuan hung up the phone and wiped the lipstick marks off his mouth, feeling immensely relieved.

"My two dear ladies."

"The supermarket is about to open, and they're waiting for me to cut the ribbon."

"Serious business comes first!"

"You two should head home as well!"

After saying that, Lin Chuan slipped away faster than Usain Bolt, disappearing in a flash.

Only Chu Yueli and Officer Su Qingyi remained where they were.

They looked at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away.

Although no winner had been decided...

Both of their faces still carried a lingering blush.

They were still savoring the moment in their hearts... Meanwhile.

At the Ice City First People's Hospital, in the high-ranking official special care ward.

The environment here was quite good—a single room with a sofa, a color TV, and dedicated nurses to serve.

Long Wu held an insulated cup in his hand as he cautiously walked into the ward.

Lying on the hospital bed was an old woman who was skin and bones.

This was Long Wu's mother, Li Xiufen.

Having just finished dialysis, her face was sallow, her eyes were sunken, and her arms were covered in needle marks and bruises.

She was moaning weakly, lacking even the strength to turn over.

"Mom."

Seeing this scene, Long Wu's heart broke.

He quickly walked to the bedside, helped the old woman up, and placed a pillow behind her.

"Come, drink your medicine."

"This is a prescription my boss specially got from a divine doctor for you."

"He said you'll get better after drinking it."

Li Xiufen struggled to open her eyes, looked at the dark herbal soup, and sighed.

"Son... don't waste your money..."

"I know my body; it's just a bottomless pit..."

"Keep that money for yourself to get a wife..."

"Mom! What are you saying!"

Long Wu got anxious and brought the bowl to her lips.

"My boss is an extraordinary man! If he says you can get better, then you definitely will!"

"Drink it quickly! Listen to your son!"

The old woman couldn't win against her son and could only open her mouth to swallow the bowl of bitter herbal soup.

After drinking it, she didn't feel much, except for a warm sensation in her stomach.

Long Wu settled his mother down and sat by her side to keep watch.

At that moment.

A heart-wrenching cough came from the bed next to them.

"Cough, cough, cough!! Ow... it's killing me..."

It was a white-haired old man whose face was swollen like a steamed bun; he was also in the late stages of uremia.

That was one of the former three kings of Harbin, the patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Guoqiang!

Sitting by the bed was a middle-aged woman in a cheongsam, possessing an elegant and noble temperament.

She was the current head of the family who had followed in her father's footsteps and inherited the title of one of the three kings.

She was about forty-five or forty-six years old, extremely well-maintained, and still very charming.

This was the current person at the helm of the Zheng family, Zheng Yun!

At this moment, this powerful woman, who usually commanded the winds and clouds, was patting the old man's back with a face full of sorrow to help him breathe.

"Dad, please bear with it."

"The doctor said as long as you keep up with the dialysis, you can live for a few more years."

"Live my foot!"

Zheng Guoqiang cursed weakly.

"You call this living? It's a fate worse than death!"

"Every dialysis session feels like draining all the blood from my body and then pouring it back in! I'm not doing it anymore! Just let me die!"

Zheng Yun's tears fell as she listened, but she was helpless.

This was the tragedy of uremia patients.

Money could extend life, but it extended a life of suffering.

Time passed minute by minute.

About two hours later.

The originally drowsy Li Xiufen suddenly felt a rumbling in her stomach.

Immediately following that was an uncontrollable urge to urinate.

"Son! I want to go to the bathroom!"

In the past, the old woman couldn't even get out of bed and had to use a bedpan.

But this time, the urge was too sudden and intense.

Before Long Wu could even grab the bedpan...

Li Xiufen actually tossed back the covers herself and sat up with a start!

Then she put on her shoes and ran toward the bathroom with quick, small steps.

Her movements were so nimble; how did she look like a critically ill patient who had just finished dialysis?

"Eh?! Mom?!"

Long Wu was stunned and quickly chased after her to support her.

A loud sound of relief could be heard from the bathroom; it was a truly thorough discharge.

After a full five minutes...

Li Xiufen walked out of the bathroom.

This appearance shocked everyone.

The sallow, deathly pallor on the old woman's face had actually receded by more than half!

In its place was a faint, healthy glow.

Her originally cloudy eyes were now bright.

She stretched and actually walked two laps around the ward as if nothing were wrong.

"Ah! That feels good!"

Li Xiufen patted her thighs with a look of pleasant surprise.

"Wuzi! Why do I feel so clear all over?"

"It feels like my body has suddenly been unblocked!"

"I'm not nauseous anymore, and I'm not dizzy!"

"I feel like I could eat two big bowls of rice right now!"

"I could even go down and dance the Yangko!"

She's cured just like that?!

Long Wu trembled with excitement.

"Boss! He's a divine doctor!!"

"Truly miraculous!!"

Meanwhile, Zheng Yun on the neighboring bed...

Her beautiful eyes were wide and round, and her mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg.

She had just seen this old woman being carried in half-dead with her own eyes!

How long had it been?

Less than three hours?

After drinking a bowl of dark soup, she could already get out of bed and walk?

This was simply a medical miracle!

Looking at her own patriarch who was still moaning, Zheng Yun's heart was in even more turmoil.

She stood up abruptly and walked quickly to Li Xiufen in her high heels.

Her well-maintained face was filled with urgency and shock.

"Auntie! Auntie, wait!"

Zheng Yun grabbed Li Xiufen's hand, her voice trembling.

"Weren't you unable to move just now?"

"Does your body really not feel uncomfortable anymore?"

"That's uremia! Aren't you supposed to be exhausted for several days after dialysis?"

Li Xiufen was in a good mood now and said with a smile:

"Ah, it's you, ma'am."

"I'm wondering about it too!"

"Just a moment ago, my bones felt like they were falling apart."

"But after my son gave me that medicine, I felt a surge of hot air circulating in my stomach."

"After that pee, oh my goodness, it was like I became a different person!"

"I feel full of energy now! Look!"

As she spoke, the old woman actually hopped twice on the spot.

"Divine medicine! This is divine medicine!!"

Zheng Yun was so excited that tears flowed freely.

If her own father could also drink this medicine, would he still have to suffer like this?

Would he still have to think about dying every day?

She turned her head sharply and looked at the tower-like Long Wu.

Her eyes were full of longing, as if she had caught her last saving straw.

"Brother!"

"I am Zheng Yun of the Zheng family!"

"I beg you, tell me! Where did that medicine come from?"

"Who is the expert who wrote that prescription?"

"No matter how much it costs! As long as I can meet this divine doctor!"

"Even if it means bankrupting my Zheng family, I am willing!!"

As Zheng Yun spoke, she was about to kneel to Long Wu.

This was truly a filial daughter!

For her father's life, she threw away all her status.

Long Wu quickly supported her.

"Sister Zheng!"

"That medicine was given by my boss."

"He's right here in the city."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yun's eyes lit up terrifyingly.

"In the city?! I must prepare a generous gift!"

"I will personally go and beg for the medicine!!"

"As long as my father can be cured, I, Zheng Yun, will do anything for him!!"
