My gorgeous wife
Chapter 479 - 452: What Illness Is This?

Chapter 479: Chapter 452: What Illness Is This?

"Ouch, Mr. Cheen!" As soon as they entered the laboratory, Yang Zi and the others got excited.

"You’re a hero! Come, come, sit down." Yang Zi and Zhao Qi came up to him like the imperial guards who attended the emperor when he left the palace in ancient times.

Li Chen was both amused and exasperated as he watched them blow on the chair and wipe it down before rolling his eyes.

"Enough already, you guys aren’t like this normally. Aren’t you always making fun of me?"

"Mr. Cheen, you’re mistaken. Ever since they watched your martial arts match yesterday, who would dare to?" Haitang teased from the side.

The colleagues all started laughing.

"Hehe, Mr. Cheen, don’t just stand there, sit!"

Li Chen was pulled to a seat, and the rest of the laboratory staff gathered around him.

"Mr. Cheen, after a serious decision by all of us, from now on, you’re our idol," Zhao Qi and the others said earnestly. "So, idol, could you give us your autograph?"

Li Chen was taken aback, watching the others who were so serious a moment ago suddenly pulling out pens and notebooks with giggling laughter, the change in tone was so abrupt.

"Turns out you guys just wanted my autograph after all this fuss, you could have just said so," Li Chen laughed.

Zhao Qi and another laughed sheepishly, "I told you, Mr. Cheen is still Mr. Cheen, right? Even if he’s a hero, he’s still our Mr. Cheen, isn’t he? You didn’t believe it, insisting on doing this pretentious act. Come on, Mr. Cheen, I have 100 for you to sign, please help me with them."

Yang Zi, with grand enthusiasm, then took out a stack of notebooks from a drawer.

Li Chen was surprised, "Yang Zi, why do you need so many?"

"Hehe, I can sell them later, they’ll fetch a sky-high price," Yang Zi chuckled.

Li Chen just rolled his eyes; he was truly at his wit’s end with this group.

The rest of the laboratory staff were already unable to contain their laughter when someone spotted Wang Qianqian coming in.

"Hey, Qianqian is here."

Everyone looked over, and several girls immediately went to greet her.

"Qianqian, come, come, have a seat, Brother Cheen is here."

Everyone laughed and pushed Wang Qianqian towards Li Chen while Zhao Qi brought over a chair for her to sit down.

Wang Qianqian’s face flushed, and Li Chen felt a sense of speechlessness inside. Great, they’re teasing me again.

"Hello, Wang Qianqian. I am a reporter from the Linchuan Daily News Agency. Given Mr. Cheen’s outstanding performance yesterday, do you have anything you would like to say?" Yang Zi pretended to be a reporter wanting to interview Wang Qianqian.

The others were laughing too, but at that moment, Wang Qianqian’s face suddenly lost its color as if the blood had been drained from her, turning extremely pale in an instant!

"Qianqian, what’s wrong?" A girl nearby sensed something was amiss.

"It’s nothing." Wang Qianqian shook her head with a smile, but her brow was furrowed tightly as she felt a turbulent sensation in her stomach, and big beads of sweat appeared on her forehead!

What’s going on?

Li Chen also noticed Wang Qianqian’s condition, and the others began to feel that something was not right. At that moment, Wang Qianqian suddenly swayed as if dizzy and collapsed toward the side.

"Hey, Qianqian!"

Everyone panicked, rushing to help Wang Qianqian. They saw her pale face, covered in cold sweat, not knowing what to do.

"Hold her."

Li Chen said solemnly, then quickly checked Wang Qianqian’s pulse. But upon examining her, his brow furrowed deeply!

This was because Wang Qianqian’s pulse was chaotic, meaning he couldn’t discern the state of her health at all!

It seemed that Wang Qianqian was in bad shape, but it was unclear exactly what was wrong.

What’s going on?

Li Chen continued to check Wang Qianqian’s other symptoms using various methods, but still couldn’t diagnose any illness.

"Brother, Brother Cheen," Wang Qianqian called weakly.

"Qianqian, don’t talk right now."

Li Chen swiftly used True Qi to seal some of her acupoints and then said, "Quick, to the hospital!"

"Okay."

The group scrambled to carry Wang Qianqian out, hailed a taxi downstairs, and sped towards the hospital.

Li Chen told Zhao Qi and the others to go back, while he accompanied Wang Qianqian to the hospital.

He was deeply furrowed as he had been checking for any diseases Wang Qianqian might have contracted, but he couldn’t find anything. It was as if her symptoms had never existed before.

While comforting the weak Wang Qianqian, whose complexion turned as pale as a porcelain doll, Li Chen was filled with distress.

"It’s fine, Brother Cheen is here, nothing will happen," Li Chen said softly, gently stroking Wang Qianqian’s cheek.

"Mm." Wang Qianqian responded weakly, trying to smile but unable to.

Li Chen once again checked Wang Qianqian’s internal condition, and this time, he couldn’t help but change his expression drastically. He found that several acupoints he had sealed with True Qi had somehow been blasted open without his knowing!

Upon further investigation, Wang Qianqian’s body seemed even more chaotic. This chaos was unlike the kind after he entered a berserk state, where at least the Mysterious Energy in his own body was still controllable and other pulses existed.

But from the feedback of Wang Qianqian’s current condition, it was as if her pulse had ceased to exist. All practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine knew what such chaos signified.

It meant death!

Qianqian, you must hold on.

Li Chen silently prayed in his heart. He wanted to try infusing True Qi into Wang Qianqian’s body, but he felt as if there was a strange energy inside her that could block all his True Qi.

At this, Li Chen couldn’t help but frown.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Li Chen immediately handed Wang Qianqian over to the doctors, after which she was taken into the examination room.

At the same time, Li Chen also notified Wang Qianqian’s parents.

Watching from outside the examination room, Li Chen could now only pin his hopes on the doctors. After all, there were all sorts of bizarre and peculiar diseases, and doctors might have encountered something he had not.

It wasn’t long before Wang Qianqian was brought out.

"Doctor, how is the situation?"

Li Chen immediately crowded forward.

The nurse pushed Wang Qianqian towards the ward, and Li Chen noticed that not only was her face pale, but it seemed that the blood color on her hands was also fading, turning incredibly pale.

"The results are still being examined; please wait a moment," said the doctor as he hurried away. Li Chen followed Wang Qianqian to the ward.

He lifted Wang Qianqian’s clothing slightly and immediately turned pale at the sight.

On Wang Qianqian’s body, the deathly pallor seemed to be slowly spreading, like a horrifying bacteria devouring the remaining color of her blood!

Wang Qianqian’s hands were just like her face, completely void of any blood color, that sheer whiteness seemed as if the slightest touch would shatter it like porcelain.

What on earth is going on?

Li Chen grew anxious in his heart. Wang Qianqian had been fine before, so why had she suddenly taken a turn for the worse?

Just as Li Chen was becoming anxious, Wang Qianqian’s parents also arrived.

"Qianqian, Qianqian!"

Liu Fang rushed into the ward searching frantically and became petrified upon seeing Wang Qianqian lying there.

Wang Shan, who had hurried over, was stunned as well, muttering to himself, "How, how did this happen? Wasn’t it not supposed to occur again?"

"It’s all your fault!" Liu Fang angrily lashed out at Wang Shan, as if she wanted to vent all her rage on him, and Wang Shan did not resist. Looking at Wang Qianqian on the bed, he appeared to be dumbstruck.

"Auntie." Li Chen quickly intervened to pull Liu Fang away, and by this time, tears had already begun spilling from her eyes. She moved to Wang Qianqian’s bedside, "Qianqian, your life is truly hard."

Wang Qianqian opened her eyes, her face deathly pale, and gave a strained smile, "Mom, I’m alright."

Her voice was extremely weak, as if she could collapse at any moment.

Wang Shan sighed deeply, looking much older suddenly, his usually straight back now slumped.

"Uncle, what exactly is happening?" Li Chen stood by, his face grave.

Wang Shan shook his head.

"Uncle, you should tell me. If I know the reason, I might be able to find a solution," Li Chen said earnestly.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Wang Shan seemed to recall something, and his face became grave.

Wang Shan pulled Li Chen outside and then lit up a cigarette. Generally speaking, Wang Shan didn’t smoke; Liu Fang wouldn’t let him.

"This is a genetic disease," after a moment of silence, Wang Shan began, leaving Li Chen momentarily stunned.

A genetic disease?

"We don’t know what this genetic disease is because the doctors haven’t detected it. Before Qianqian, this disease has occurred twice," Wang Shan said, exhaling a puff of smoke as if trying to expel the oppression in his chest.

"Which two times?" Li Chen immediately asked, for if there were precedent cases, perhaps they could find some treatment options through them.

Wang Shan shook his head. "The first time, it was my grandfather."

Li Chen was startled, his gaze at Wang Shan acquiring an inexplicable depth.

"The second time, it was my father."

Wang Shan’s face took on an additional look of desolation. Li Chen fell silent, understanding the agony of watching one’s own family members suffer from such a frightful, mysterious disease and then die helplessly.

"When they died, they were all the same: no blood color throughout their bodies, internal organs gradually failing. After a while, they aged like old men and then passed away," Wang Shan’s voice was very heavy. Li Chen shuddered. Did that mean Qianqian wouldn’t live much longer either?

"How long does Qianqian have?" Li Chen asked calmly, unwilling to give up as long as there was the slightest chance.

"It varies," Wang Shan shook his head. "My grandfather only lived for a month, but my father lasted three months."
