28: Chapter 28 Kneeling Down to Apologize_1 28: Chapter 28 Kneeling Down to Apologize_1 Chu Mengyao bit her lip as she looked at Lu Chuan, her gaze tinged with a trace of resentment, before she turned her head and said loudly, “Anything!”

Lu Chuan gave a mocking smile, “Wait for me to pack up, and I’ll go with you to save your dad.”

He went back to pack up all his gear for refining the Spirit Melding Pill.

The elixir pill could be made later, but Chu Mengyao’s promise wasn’t always available.

Together, the two of them hurried to the Chu family’s old residence.

In the courtyard, many people had gathered there.

They were all high-ranking members of the Chu family, who had rushed over immediately upon learning of Chu Shanhe’s condition.

Among them was Du Zihang, who had suffered defeat the day before.

“My uncle suddenly went blind, and only this bastard Lu Chuan can cure it.

It’s quite possible that he’s the one who poisoned my uncle.

When he gets here, I’ll definitely have to question him!”

Du Zihang’s expression was icy, and his eyes narrowed as if he had seen through the truth.

Before long, Chu Mengyao entered the courtyard with Lu Chuan.

Zhao Haitang immediately walked up to them, giving Lu Chuan a once-over before asking Chu Mengyao, “Is this Lu Chuan?”

Chu Mengyao nodded.

With genuine sincerity, Zhao Haitang looked at Lu Chuan and said with a full heart of apology, “Lu Chuan, I want to apologize to you on behalf of our family elder, Chu.

This is all his fault.

The Chu family is willing to make amends, and we hope you can give Elder Chu a chance to save his life.

If you are willing to help, I will kowtow to you right now!”

As she spoke, she was about to kneel on the ground.

Lu Chuan quickly helped her up, saying embarrassingly, “Auntie, what are you doing?

I’ve already promised Mengyao that I will save your husband.”

Zhao Haitang’s face showed gratitude, “Good, thank you.

Once you have cured Elder Chu, our Chu family will surely present a generous gift as a token of gratitude!”

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, thinking to himself that her daughter’s promise was more than enough.

“I’ll go in first and check on Elder Chu’s condition.”

Zhao Haitang quickly nodded and proceeded to lead Lu Chuan into the house.

At that moment, Du Zihang suddenly blocked their way, glaring at Lu Chuan, and shouted, “Auntie, you’ve been deceived by this guy.

The poison that has struck my uncle is obviously administered by him!”

Everyone looked shocked.

Lu Chuan’s face turned cold instantly, “Is your brain damaged?”

Du Zihang snorted, “Don’t deny it.

Otherwise, why would only you be able to cure the poison that has struck my uncle?”

Zhao Haitang, standing by with a gloomy face, said to Du Zihang, “Your uncle was infected with this toxin several months ago.

It couldn’t possibly be Lu Chuan who poisoned him.

Go stand aside.

If you delay your uncle’s treatment, you won’t have an easy time!”

Du Zihang’s face immediately turned to embarrassment, as he had thought that Chu Shanhe had been poisoned just yesterday.

He coughed lightly, gave Lu Chuan a glare, and scolded him, “It’s best if you didn’t, now hurry up and treat my uncle properly, or I’ll kill you if you fail!”

Anger rose in Lu Chuan’s heart, “What did you say?”

Du Zihang took on an arrogant stance, “I said if you can’t cure my uncle, I’ll kill you!

For a lowlife like you, it’s your honor to treat my uncle.

For our noble family to even use you is already giving you face.

Don’t be ungrateful!”

Lu Chuan laughed in anger, “The pride of you nobles sure is something else!”

He bowed to Zhao Haitang, “Auntie, a lowlife like me is not worthy of treating your family, I take my leave!”

Having said this, he turned around and left without a moment’s hesitation.

Zhao Haitang’s expression changed, and she quickly tried to stop him, “Wait, Lu Chuan, you can’t leave!”

Angrily, Chu Mengyao glared at Du Zihang and exclaimed, “Did you do this on purpose?

Get out of here now!”

She walked briskly over and stopped Lu Chuan, “He’s out of his mind, don’t pay attention to him.”

Following up, Zhao Haitang said, “Yes, this idiot doesn’t think before he speaks, don’t stoop to his level.”

Lu Chuan said indifferently, “Even a clay Buddha has three points of anger.

Having been humiliated like this, if I still licked my wounds and treated him, wouldn’t I indeed appear lowly?”

“You’d better find someone else.”

Realizing he might have gone too far, Du Zihang said with a guilty expression, “I only said a few words to you, why are you so petty?

You lower-class people really have no magnanimity at all.”

Chu Mengyao shouted, “Shut your mouth!”

She stood in front of Lu Chuan, pleading, “We had a deal.”

Lu Chuan sighed and then turned to glance at Du Zihang, “Let him kneel and apologize to me, and I’ll let this matter slide.”

Du Zihang cursed profusely, “Who do you think you are, making me kneel and apologize to you?

Are you worthy!?”

Zhao Haitang’s face showed the cold and authoritative demeanor of the Family Head as she commanded Du Zihang, “Kneel down and apologize!”

Du Zihang’s face showed defiance, “Auntie, he…”

Zhao Haitang said coldly, “Don’t forget that everything you have now is given by the Chu family.

If you don’t kneel and apologize, not only will I withdraw my support for you, but I will also shut down the company under your mother’s name.

Think carefully!”

Du Zihang panicked instantly.

If Zhao Haitang did as she said, from then on, he could only live the life of those lower-class people he despised.

He glared at Lu Chuan, grinding his teeth and cursing him inwardly a thousand times, while also beginning to regret causing trouble for this man.

“I’m sorry.” After hesitating for a long time, all he could do was utter a perfunctory apology.

Lu Chuan asked with a smile, “Can’t you understand what I’m saying?”

Zhao Haitang urged, “Don’t waste time!”

Du Zihang clenched his fists, then knelt before Lu Chuan, saying with reluctance, “I’m sorry…”

It was then that Lu Chuan turned and walked into the room.

Zhao Haitang and Chu Mengyao hurriedly followed.

In his heart, Du Zihang thought, “Bastard, just you wait, once you cure my uncle, I will use the Chu family’s power to deal with you!”

In the room, Chu Shanhe lay on the bed, his face calm.

He had heard everything that happened outside, and he was beginning to regret treating this nephew so well.

Lu Chuan sat down by the bed.

Chu Shanhe, hearing the sound, asked, “Lu Chuan?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “It’s me.”

Chu Shanhe said with full regret, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have…”

Lu Chuan interrupted, “Uncle, no need to say more, treatment is more important.”

After that, he began checking on Chu Shanhe.

The Chu family members gathered around out of curiosity, wanting to know how Lu Chuan would cure this supposedly incurable poison.

After a careful examination, a smile appeared on Lu Chuan’s face, “Fortunately, the toxin hasn’t caused severe damage, and I have just refined a Hundred Cure Pill, which saves a lot of trouble.”

He took out the vial containing the Hundred Cure Pill, poured one out, and placed it in Chu Shanhe’s mouth, “Swallow it.”

Chu Shanhe immediately complied.

The onlooking members of the Chu family wore faces of astonishment.

“Such a severe poison can be cured by a single small pill?

Why do I feel this is similar to those charlatans?”

“Yes, that pill just now didn’t look anything special, could it be he has no means to treat and is merely bluffing here?”

…

Zhao Haitang and Chu Mengyao were both filled with worry.

Hiding in a corner, Du Zihang muttered under his breath, “If this guy fails to cure my uncle, I’ll have him dealt with right now!”

About fifteen minutes later.

Chu Shanhe saw a sliver of light before his eyes, followed by some blurry images which gradually became clear.

He blinked hard and upon realizing his vision had returned to normal, his face broke into an excited smile, “I can see!

I can see!”

Zhao Haitang and Chu Mengyao’s eyes widened, then they both embraced Chu Shanhe.

The three held each other tightly, crying tears of joy.

The other members of the Chu family were shocked.

“He really cured it; such a miraculous small pill.”

“It seems we underestimated him.

He cured such a formidable poison with just a tiny pill, which only proves his superb medical skills!”

…

Once again, out of place, Du Zihang blurted out, “Wasn’t it said the neurotoxin would spread to the brain?

He only cured my uncle’s eyes; who knows if the toxin in the brain has been removed.”

The joyous atmosphere was instantly ruined.

Zhao Haitang gave Du Zihang a speechless look, as she disliked her nephew for the first time.

Nevertheless, she glanced at Dr.

Chen, who was not far away, and said, “Dr.

Chen, please conduct another examination.”

Dr.

Chen immediately took his equipment and began to examine Chu Shanhe.

After some work, Dr.

Chen excitedly announced, “The Family Head doesn’t have any traces of neurotoxin in his body anymore!”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Chuan with admiration.

Du Zihang muttered to himself, “Just dumb luck, such a mediocre fellow actually has some capability.”

Chu Shanhe got off the bed and bowed earnestly to Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, gratitude for a great kindness is hard to express in words.

You saved my life, and I will repay it tenfold, a hundredfold.

Whatever you request, just name it.”

Lu Chuan looked at Chu Mengyao and smiled, saying, “Uncle, you’re being too formal.

I am Mengyao’s friend; it was only right for me to help.

I don’t ask for any repayment, just recognition from you as Mengyao’s friend is enough.”

Chu Shanhe nodded, “Rest assured, from now on, I won’t interfere with Mengyao’s friends.

However, Mengyao is already engaged to Long Hao, so you still need to be careful not to stir up trouble.”

Chu Mengyao bit her lip, thinking that with his lecherous character, keeping things appropriate would be unusual.

Lu Chuan laughed, “Understood.”

Keep things appropriate?

He figured negative eighteen centimeters could still be controlled if necessary.

Recalling something, he asked, “Uncle, this neurotoxin must not have been contracted accidentally.

Only long-term exposure could have caused it to deepen to this extent.

Think carefully, do you have any personal items that might carry this neurotoxin?

Removing the source is the safest.”

Chu Shanhe immediately reflected, “Personal items, a few months ago…”

His eyes narrowed, his gaze falling on two carved walnut ornaments not far from the bedside, “Could it be these?”

These were the birthday gifts that Du Zihang gave to him three months earlier.

As Du Zihang was plotting how to use the Chu family’s power against Lu Chuan, his expression wildly fluctuated upon seeing Chu Shanhe suspecting the walnuts he had given.

He shouted, “Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!”
