Chapter 538: Apocalypse True Rich Girl Cannon Fodder (9)

Luo Ning took out her smartphone’s QR code and held it up, "Pay first, read face-reading later!"

Qin Xinyue immediately took out her phone, scanned it, and paid ten thousand yuan.

Only then did Luo Ning take a close look at the woman’s face, "Someone in your family is sick, and you are very anxious right now."

Qin Xinyue said, "This place isn’t far from the hospital. A lot of people could guess that."

"Your parents died when you were young, and your grandfather is in the hospital. He has been frequently losing consciousness recently, and the times he is lucid are getting fewer and fewer."

Luo Ning kept her eyes on her and continued, "And yet the hospital cannot figure out what the problem is."

This she had deduced from the evil spirit clinging to Qin Xinyue’s body, and the dullness of the facial features representing her parental palace and the obstructed line that represented her grandfather.

She glanced over the young man, "Looking at your faces, you are husband and wife, and you don’t have children yet."

Her words made both Qin Xinyue and her companion shocked, clearly not expecting Luo Ning to see through them.

"Did you know me before?" Qin Xinyue asked uncertainly.

Luo Ning shook her head, "I don’t."

She truly didn’t remember this woman from her memories, but this man, she had seen before.

After the apocalypse, he was one of the top executives jointly managing the Kyoto Base.

The original host’s brother had inquired about a lot of affairs related to the Kyoto Base, including quite a few about this Lu Cong.

This man was a legendary figure who married into the Qin Family before the apocalypse and then rose to power strongly on his own after it.

Before the apocalypse, Mr. Qin fell ill and passed away. Lu Cong then took over the old man’s domain with an iron fist and got a firm handle on the secondary branches of the Qin Family.

After gaining power, he didn’t abandon his wife and stayed loyal to her.

With the advent of the apocalypse, because of the influence left by Mr. Qin, Lu Cong, with his tough style and methods, carved out a position for himself in the power distribution of the Kyoto Base.

His wife fell gravely ill and was recuperating in the base’s hospital. He never left her side and spent a lot of effort and resources to save his wife’s life.

As a result, he was highly respected in the Kyoto Base, seen as a paragon of a loving and righteous husband.

The reason the original host was particularly interested in Lu Cong was because he had a good relationship with the Luo Family. In the Kyoto Base, he formed an alliance with the Luo Family to contend against the other major powers.

Most importantly, the original host’s brother had said that Lu Cong and Luo Baomiao seemed quite close in private, almost like a knight sworn to protect her.

This was not widely known, and even her brother had stumbled upon it unintentionally.

Luo Ning truly hadn’t expected to run into Lu Cong and his wife on her first face-reading stall outing.

Qin Xinyue also didn’t know what came over her. Just now, upon seeing the young girl divining that misfortune would befall the middle-aged man, including a trip to the hospital—which came true immediately—

She couldn’t help but walk over, wanting to have her face read.

In fact, as soon as she had spoken, she regretted it a little, given she never believed in such things before.

But after hearing Luo Ning’s words, she couldn’t help but foster some hope.

If this young girl really didn’t know her identity, it would be impossible for her to have inquired about her situation beforehand.

And today, she had impulsively gone out without driving, just casually walking around to clear her mind.

She suddenly felt like having her face read and that’s why she walked over, so the chance of the young girl specially waiting for her seemed slim.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Can you treat illnesses?"

Luo Ning countered, "Do you want me to help with your grandfather’s treatment?"

Qin Xinyue immediately nodded, "Yes, exactly."

Luo Ning said, "I practice traditional Chinese medicine, if you don’t mind, I can go with you to have a look."

Indeed, she knew medical practice, and her skills were not bad at all.

Knowing she would have to keep going to the Little World for missions, Luo Ning had always been learning medical skills as well as arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting when she was the Princess Consort in her past life.

Qin Xinyue quickly grabbed her hand, "Okay, then come with me."

Grandpa had fallen into a coma again this morning, and the doctors said the situation was very optimistic, if this continued, Grandpa might not live past next month.

Her family was originally from the Capital City, but this time, Grandpa had collapsed suddenly while visiting S City for some affairs, and since his condition was so dire, it was not suitable to move him, so they had to stay in a local hospital rather than transferring him back to the Capital City.

She had also invited quite a few experts from the Capital City to come over for consultations, but they hadn’t found any reason for it.

"All right," Luo Ning let her pull her forward.

Lu Cong looked at Luo Ning deeply, unsure whether this person was sent by someone or was just a coincidence.

"Xinyue, Grandpa never liked feudal superstitions before, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to bring someone back for this?" he quickly caught up and whispered.

Whether it was someone else’s scheme or merely a coincidence, he didn’t quite want his wife to bring someone to the hospital.

In the past, Qin Xinyue might have listened to him, but now she was so desperate about her grandfather’s illness that she wasn’t quite rational.

She couldn’t help but want to grab on to any straw that might save a life.

"Grandpa is in a coma now, he won’t know," she said.

Qin Xinyue continued to pull Luo Ning forward, "As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I don’t want to miss it."

Seeing her insistence, Lu Cong could only follow helplessly.

Mr. Qin was in the intensive care unit; four nurses cared for him in rotation, and there were people guarding the outside.

As Mr. Qin’s only granddaughter, Qin Xinyue’s status was naturally different. Nobody obstructed her from bringing Luo Ning inside.

Upon entering, Luo Ning saw an old man in his sixties lying on the hospital bed.

At the moment, he looked very pale with his eyes tightly closed, clearly not long for this world.

Seeing the dark mark on his forehead and feeling the evil spirit around him, Luo Ning confirmed her suspicions.

"Please help my grandpa have a look," Qin Xinyue asked.

Luo Ning nodded, approached, and examined him for a while.

After a bit, she looked back at Qin Xinyue, "I need to use a special method to check on the old gentleman, and only people who are blood-related to him can stay."

Qin Xinyue was taken aback, "Why?"

"This is a special Qi Observation Method; I have to draw energy from you to the elder, then closely observe his internal organs to diagnose the condition," Luo Ning seriously made up the explanation.

"If others are present, accidentally drawing in a stranger’s energy can lead to failure," she continued, aiming to send Lu Cong and the nurses away.

Lu Cong’s eyes showed disdain—he thought this young lady was most likely a scammer.

What Qi Observation Method that could see inside the body to diagnose illnesses? Pure nonsense.

The nurses pretty much thought the same, not believing any of it.

But Qin Xinyue believed it—not completely, but given the state her grandfather was in, how much worse could it get?

So, she said to Lu Cong and the nurses, "Please go out."

After Lu Cong tried to convince her a few times and saw his wife’s resolve, he left the room with a face of helplessness.

After stepping out, he greeted the guards, asking them to keep a close watch; he then went to the adjacent resting room and put on an earpiece.

Once the room’s door closed, Qin Xinyue urged Luo Ning to start quickly.

"Alright, I’ll begin drawing the energy, you sit by the bed," Luo Ning said, while taking a notebook and a pen out of her bag.

She wrote in it: This room might have surveillance, let’s communicate in writing.

Qin Xinyue was stunned for a moment but then nodded in agreement.
