Chapter 266: Chapter 195: The Tang Family Members, Come!

"Not only does the Yun Family have martial power, they also have other influences, and I expect they will use these against you, but the Flower Demon and I will block them, and as for your grandmother’s side... I’ve already taken care of it,"

It would be simple to use official power to label Sui Yi with a crime, provided the Yun family members were sure Sui Yi lacked any backing. This was easy to check, so Gong Jiu had to take precautions in advance.

It was for this same reason Sui Yi had sought them out.

As for martial power...

The doorbell rang.

When Sui Yi opened the door, he saw Tang Hanyan with a tense face, and a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to her following behind.

"Sui Yi..." Tang Hanyan had a complicated expression upon seeing Sui Yi. Perhaps a few months ago, she would never have imagined that someone she thought had been removed from her daughter’s life would break all constraints in such a manner.

"Auntie, Qing Wu is inside,"

Sui Yi stepped aside to let the two of them in.

The middle-aged man gave her a deep look.

Upon first seeing Gong Jiu and the Flower Demon, the two from the Tang Family did not show surprise, but upon seeing Yhan Qingwu’s pale face...

Their expressions changed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps they did not know what to say...

However, Yhan Qingwu took a deep breath, stood up, her expression not clearly laughter or tears, just desperately maintaining composure.

"Mom, I’ve tried... but I can’t do it, sorry..."

There was no grievance, no complaint, only apologies, sorry... I can’t do it.

I can’t humble myself just to survive, I can’t live only for you at the expense of my dignity, nor can I feel a shred of reluctance when Sui Yi is taking me away.

So many things I can’t do.

I’m very sorry.

Then, Gong Jiu and the Flower Demon witnessed the renowned strong woman of the Provincial City nearly collapsing as she embraced her daughter.

She too had let go of her pride, swallowed the hatred towards her husband, all to save her daughter’s life.

She could sacrifice anything,

But couldn’t bear to hear her own daughter say... sorry.

It was she who should be saying it.

The scene was too emotional.

The Flower Demon was alright, but seeing Gong Jiu turn away his face and then drink and wipe it... rolling his eyes, truly as lackluster as ever.

Sui Yi was the calmest, calm to the point of indifference.

The middle-aged man had been observing Sui Yi the whole time, curious yes, but also disapproving...

Sui Yi met his gaze and then turned away, pouring tea for both of them.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s start,"

Only then did Tang Hanyan regain her composure, looking at Sui Yi and steadying her voice, recovering the strong woman’s demeanor she was known for, even overshadowing Gong Jiu with her presence.

After all, old ginger is spicier, though she’s not old at all.

"You’re right, there’s no need to waste time on pleasantries... Sui Yi, I just want to ask you... Qing Wu’s illness, can you truly cure it?"

"Yes," Sui Yi replied, sipping tea, "when I help her with her illness, I need to prevent the Yun Family from interfering... so I need the help from you, the Tang Family,"

Gong Jiu and the others could help too, but she did not want to drag the two unrelated people into it, since falling out wouldn’t benefit them much.

If the Tang Family were truly protective of Yhan Qingwu, it was only right for them to lend their strength, wasn’t it?

That way, Yhan Qingwu wouldn’t feel deserted.

Fortunately, it seemed that they did not disappoint her.

Thinking this, Sui Yi turned to the middle-aged man, "And you are...?"

"I’m Tang Hanfeng, Qing Wu’s Second Uncle. I thought your actions previously were a bit reckless, but if you can truly cure Qing Wu, this would actually be the best way..." Tang Hanfeng was very direct, although slightly impolite.

Implicit in his words was that if Sui Yi could indeed save Yhan Qingwu, there was no need to snatch her from Yun Junyan so blatantly, as that would only exacerbate the conflict.

Gong Jiu raised an eyebrow, about to speak.

However, Yhan Qingwu recounted the school incident in a flat tone...

Upon hearing this, Tang Hanyan, who was previously unaware, instantly scowled, and Tang Hanfeng also bristled.

"There was such a thing! Fucking hell! That Yun family bastard is no good!" Cursing, he immediately apologized to Sui Yi, "Sorry, I was the one before..."

If Tang Family members couldn’t help swearing, one could imagine what would have happened if Yhan Qingwu had truly been taken away that day.

An engagement?

Tang Hanyan didn’t know about this at all! Engage my foot!

Sui Yi naturally didn’t care, but he thought to himself that Second Uncle Tang’s temperament was indeed unstable as opposed to the aloof Tang Hanyan; the two were very different.

Once Tang Hanyan understood Yun Junyan’s current attitude towards Yhan Qingwu, she felt a chill and clutched Yhan Qingwu’s hand tightly, becoming immediately decisive.

"Big brother, we can’t tolerate this... Regardless of Qing Wu’s illness, we must not go to the Yun Family! Otherwise, it would be a fate worse than death! Get in touch with father... Anyway, I can’t stand this any longer!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll contact dad right away... this isn’t over!" Tang Hanfeng had been furious for some time. After all, the Tang Family dearly loved Yhan Qingwu. If they hadn’t been so reluctant for her to die, they would never have willingly let her be delivered to the Yun Family.

Now seeing such an attitude from them, damn it, sending someone in there was like throwing them into a den of wolves!

Tang Hanyan had also risen to her feet. "Sui Yi, you focus on rescuing Qing Wu... The people from the Yun Family, we of the Tang Family will stop them. You just need to save her..."

She paused, then said in a deep voice, "No matter the outcome... I’ll accept it."

"Good." Sui Yi needed just that attitude; after all, Yhan Qingwu was her daughter, a member of the Tang Family.

Gong Jiu and the Flower Demon didn’t interact much with the Tang Family members, but they’d always heard of their decisive and swift actions. Seeing it firsthand, they couldn’t help but marvel.

"Much better than the Yhan Family..."

"I always said that the Great Beauty Tang married into the Yhan Family was a waste... Now look at this."

The two bit their tongues, comparing the indifference Sui Yi had shown towards the Yhan Family on the phone earlier with the restrained pain in Tang Hanyan’s expression, it was clear the Yhan Family had played a role in this affair.

Jie Jie, like sending sheep into the tiger’s mouth, the Yhan Family really could afford to be generous!

Tang Hanfeng went to contact someone, and Gong Jiu and the Flower Demon also got busy, leaving only Sui Yi to take Tang Hanyan and her daughter upstairs.

Jiang Chenyu was not seen in the room, as Sui Yi led the two into the guest room.

Tang Hanyan had no time to wonder how Sui Yi came to own such an expensive villa; all she cared about was her daughter.

But being the strong woman she was, she kept her composure on the surface and followed Sui Yi inside.

"What should I do? Do you need me to arrange some equipment or medicine?" asked Tang Hanyan.

Sui Yi shook her head, "No need, it’s enough for the aunt to stand guard outside..."

No need for anything? Tang Hanyan immediately thought that Sui Yi must have some special ability... She’d seen enough of the world not to ask questions or doubt. After patting Yhan Qingwu’s head, she turned and closed the door.

The room was then left to just the two of them.

Yhan Qingwu didn’t seem nervous, just sitting on the bed, watching Sui Yi stand by the floor-to-ceiling window.

She smiled faintly, "Don’t force it."

Forced? Indeed, there was a bit of forcing, but it was not without certainty.

Sui Yi smiled back at her, mimicking Tang Hanyan’s gesture by patting her head, "I’ve never failed to do what I’ve promised, would you believe me?"

"What do you think?" Yhan Qingwu also smiled, but she looked much weaker than she had a few months ago. The moment Sui Yi had taken her hand earlier, she had felt the slimness of her wrist... the bones were distinct and cold.

If she’d been any later, Sui Yi felt she might never have seen her deskmate again in this lifetime.

Because when she promised Yun Junyan she’d leave... there was determination in her eyes.

"It might hurt a bit."

"Are you afraid I can’t endure it?"

"Mhm."

"Not at all... If you are worried, you can use an anesthetic."

"No need, there’s a simpler way. Close your eyes,"

"Huh? Okay," Yhan Qingwu closed her eyes...

And suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck!

Then she slumped over onto the bed...

She probably never imagined her deskmate would knock her out in such a manner, just as the Great Beauty Tang, anxiously waiting outside the door, never expected her precious daughter to be incapacitated by a chop to the neck!

Damn it, what about the promised rescue?!

It was said that Miss Sui always combined strength with gentleness, could be as merciful as cherishing a flower, and also as ruthless as destroying one~~

Miss Gong knew her all too well.

As Yhan Qingwu passed out, Sui Yi no longer paid attention to others and simply placed her hand on Yhan Qingwu’s wrist.

Magnetic Sensation seeped in.

As soon as it penetrated, she felt a chill several times stronger than the last time she had investigated.

Almost all of Yhan Qingwu’s meridians were blocked, and more than half of her internal organs covered with coldness. No wonder Yhan Qingwu was so weak.

In a short time, she might not have been able to hold on much longer.

"Coldness... Her constitution really is of Yin coldness," Sui Yi, having read many books but seldom touching on medical texts, only had learned a bit from the few books Elder Shi had given her, including ones detailing the importance of the body’s mechanisms...

A body of Yin coldness... historically, it was the constitution that tormented women the most and was the hardest to cure, but it wasn’t rare. If the chill was contracted prenatally and the development was lacking, the resultant child would tend to have a cold constitution. Women with this kind of body tended to be physically weak, with unbearable menstrual pain and difficulty getting pregnant, plus a shortened lifespan. The level of chill in Yhan Qingwu indicated a body of extreme coldness.

A body of extreme coldness... had a very short lifespan... a solitary and bitter fate.

Sui Yi thought of everything she had read in the books, unconsciously gazing at the unconscious Yhan Qingwu.

A solitary and bitter fate?

Blinking, her Magnetic Sensation gathered a thread of coldness.

The moment Magnetic Sensation touched the coldness, Sui Yi felt a cold sharpness in the palm of her hand.

Like being pricked by ice needles.

Sui Yi’s hand didn’t move, but she continued to wrap around the coldness, inputting more and more Magnetic Sensation...

As time passed, the anxious Tang Hanyan outside was restless, wanting to pace back and forth, yet worried she’d wake someone. Meanwhile, downstairs, Gong Jiu and the others didn’t dare to interrupt, so they stayed below...

As time wore on, the preparations they had made began to take effect, and the reaction from the Yun Family members was also a topic under their discussion...

Bit by bit, the dusk deepened.

And turned into night, the darkness encroaching, with only the moon shining brightly. (To be continued.
