My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 74: The Look in the Eyes Changed



"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you." Luo Mingshan slapped his forehead.

Gao Fei turned around, looking at Luo Mingshan with confusion, "What is it?"

"The Myanmar police have already caught Cai Le."

"Cai Le?"

"Isn't he the thief who stole your jade? There were three thieves who stole the jade initially; two of them were caught, and one ran away. That thief was Cai Le. After many days of pursuit by the Myanmar police, they finally caught Cai Le in a remote mountain village."

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have truly forgotten." Gao Fei smiled. He was speaking the truth; he really had forgotten about Cai Le.

The black sedan sped along the road before finally entering an estate.

This was a retro-style estate that looked a bit old but exuded an austere and solemn atmosphere. The car turned left and right, eventually stopping in front of a small building, "We're here." Lu Hao pushed the car door open and got out.

Gao Fei and Luo Mingshan also got out of the car, and at that moment a group of people came out of the small building. There were men and women, old and young, all dressed meticulously.

"Dad, I've brought the people." Lu Hao spoke to a middle-aged man.

"Uncle Luo, you're finally here." The middle-aged man strode forward, grabbing Luo Mingshan's hand and shaking it vigorously. Clearly, the man was somewhat excited. He was Lu Qingshan, Lu Pingguan's eldest son. It was he who had called Luo Mingshan a few days ago to inform him of his father's condition.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mingshan had mentioned that there might be a divine doctor who could cure Lu Pingguan's strange illness. When Lu Qingshan heard this, he was tremendously excited, and he had been waiting at home ever since, waiting for Luo Mingshan to bring the divine doctor.

"Here, let me introduce you. This is the divine doctor I was talking about, Mr. Gao Fei... and this is my old friend's son, Lu Qingshan." Luo Mingshan then added, "He is Lu Hao's father."

Lu Qingshan was much more shrewd than his son. Although he too was surprised by Gao Fei's youth, he did not show it on his face. He shook hands with Gao Fei politely, then led him and Luo Mingshan to see his bedridden father.

"Hey, isn't this divine doctor a bit too young?"

"Probably another charlatan trying to swindle money."

"Keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."

"So what if he hears us, are we afraid of him?"

A chorus of whispers wafted from behind.

The voices were loud enough that not only did Gao Fei hear them, but Lu Qingshan and Luo Mingshan heard them as well.

"Shut up, all of you!" Lu Qingshan turned around and cursed fiercely, "Anyone who speaks another word can get out and never come back into this house!" As the eldest son of the patriarch, he had considerable authority in the family, and his outburst immediately silenced the group.

"Mr. Gao, please don't take offense; they're speaking without thinking..." Lu Qingshan tried to explain to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei shook his head, not saying a word. Anything he said now would be superfluous. As long as he could cure Lu Pingguan's illness shortly, that bunch would naturally be convinced.

Luo Mingshan and Gao Fei shared the same thought that talking was unnecessary. Only by demonstrating real skill could they shut these people up.

Aside from Lu Hao following them upstairs, all other personnel remained downstairs, waiting—this was Lu Qingshan's request, as he feared too many people might disturb Gao Fei while he attempted to heal the patriarch.

Lu Qingshan directly led Gao Fei and Luo Mingshan to the third floor, then pushed open the door of a room, "My father is inside... Mr. Gao, I'm begging you... If you really can cure my father's illness, I will definitely reward you handsomely..." He had said this line no less than a hundred times.

Whenever a doctor came to treat the patriarch, Lu Qingshan would humbly repeat these words, always filled with hope but inevitably followed by disappointment...

Gao Fei nodded and stepped into the room.

The room was large, probably more than a hundred square meters. There was a bed against the wall, on which lay an old man with a head full of white hair. At the moment, the old man's eyes were tightly shut, lying motionless on the bed.

"He just had a shot of sedative." Lu Qingshan, following behind, added, "My father is currently in a comatose state."

Gao Fei stepped up to the bedside, activated his Clairvoyance, and examined the old man from head to toe... Then he frowned. The old man's condition was extremely dire, to an extreme extent. The organs in his body were severely degenerated, with some organs even showing signs of failure. The nerves in his brain were a mess, his muscles atrophied, and his blood vessels severely clogged...

Gao Fei reached out to touch the old man's wrist and found the pulse very weak...

To put it unpleasantly, it was a miracle that the old man was alive until now.

"Mr. Gao, is there any hope of curing my father?" Seeing Gao Fei frown for a long time without speaking, Lu Qingshan, standing to the side, became a bit impatient.

"Exactly, can you treat my grandpa or not?" Lu Hao asked loudly, agitated. Seeing Gao Fei standing by the bed and acting profound, he became angry. That's right, in Lu Hao's eyes, Gao Fei was just putting on an act of profundity. To put it nicely, it was 'putting on airs', and to put it bluntly, it was 'posing and posturing'.

"Mr. Gao, how is my old friend's condition?" Luo Mingshan followed up with his inquiry, but his tone was much more polite.

Gao Fei shook his head, "Not optimistic! I hate to say it, but the fact that the old gentleman has held on until now is already a miracle."

"What are you talking about..." Lu Hao was about to burst into anger, but his father stopped him.

"You shut up! If you speak out of turn again, get out!" Lu Qingshan scolded his son, then turned to Gao Fei and asked, "Is there any way you can treat my father's illness?" After asking this, Lu Qingshan's heart was in his throat, fearing Gao Fei would say "no cure."

Gao Fei pondered for a moment, "For the old man to recover... it's very difficult."

Huh? Very difficult? Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up, "So, you're saying that you have a way to treat my father?" "Very difficult" is different from "cannot be treated," a distinction that Lu Qingshan could still clearly make.

Under Lu Qingshan's hopeful gaze, Gao Fei nodded, "There is a way, but..."

"But what?" Lu Qingshan asked eagerly.

"But it's quite troublesome," Gao Fei sighed, "and it will take quite a long time."

"Mr. Gao!" Lu Qingshan said with a serious expression, "Just state your conditions, and as long as I can meet them, I will agree." In Lu Qingshan's view, Gao Fei wanted to make some demands, and he was prepared to agree no matter how difficult they might be, even if it cost him his own life.

"You're misunderstanding," Gao Fei shook his head, "I didn't come to save your father just to get some benefit."

"Then you..."

"I came because of Luo Lao's face, and also because I have great respect for your father. Based on these two reasons, I'm here."

"Enough with the act." Lu Hao said disdainfully, "You think we're fools? Just say it, what do you want? Of course, you can have it, but on one condition, you must cure my grandfather. If you can't cure him... hmph, you won't get anything, and we'll deal with you severely!" Having said this, Lu Hao added, "The Lu family is not to be messed with!"

"Lu Hao, what nonsense are you spouting!" Luo Mingshan became anxious, "Apologize to Mr. Gao immediately!"

"I'm not wrong, why should I apologize?" Lu Hao huffed.

"You..." Luo Mingshan trembled with rage, he turned his head to Lu Qingshan, "What are you staring at? Take care of your son! If you anger Mr. Gao away, you'll regret it!"

Lu Qingshan opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Gao Fei.

"Open your eyes wide and see clearly whether or not I am here to swindle money." Gao Fei was full of anger after being repeatedly provoked by Lu Hao, and he decided to show his hand, to let Lu Hao understand what incredibility looked like. Gao Fei bent down and pressed his thumb against the center of Lu Pingguan's forehead.

"What are you doing!" Lu Hao shouted loudly.

Even Lu Qingshan's face changed... but soon after, he was stunned...

After Gao Fei pressed on his forehead, Lu Pingguan slowly opened his eyes. He looked around, and when he saw Luo Mingshan, he became very excited, "Luo... Luo Mingshan... is that you..." Lu Pingguan's voice was hoarse and trembling.

"It's me, I am Luo Mingshan." Luo Mingshan quickly stepped forward, taking hold of his old friend's withered wrist, "I've come to see you."

"Hehe..." Lu Ping smiled, "Heaven has been good to me, allowing me to see you one last time before I die. Now, even if I die, I can do so with my eyes closed."

"Stop talking nonsense, you're not going to die," Luo Mingshan glared at Lu Ping, "You'll definitely live to be a hundred."

"Let's not comfort me now," Lu Ping said with a bitter smile, "I am aware of my own condition. I... won't live much longer..." He couldn't continue, for nobody wants to die, and that included Lu Ping. He wanted to live a few more years, but... heaven wouldn't allow it.

On the other side.

Lu Qingshan and Lu Hao were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

The old man would usually go into fits of madness after waking up, so how did he become lucid this time? Clear thoughts, clear speech, this was simply too incredible! Initially, both thought it must be a hallucination, but after they rubbed their eyes vigorously, the scene before them remained the same without any changes.

It was not a hallucination.

It was real!

Just now, Gao Fei pressed his finger on the old man, then the old man woke up, and then began to talk with Luo Mingshan... So, it could be said that the old man's clarity was all because of Gao Fei.

At that thought, the look in Lu Qingshan and Lu Hao's eyes towards Gao Fei abruptly changed...
