Chapter 353: Chapter 356 Hope

(Another month had passed, and Xiao Yi felt somewhat ashamed. He had planned for a minor outbreak, but for various reasons, it ultimately failed to occur. Fortunately, though the month was full of issues, he persevered and didn’t miss a single day of updates, which remained fairly stable! At the end of this month, he sincerely thanks all his readers for their support over the month. Seeing each new subscription, each additional reward, and each new monthly ticket was a great encouragement and moved Xiao Yi deeply, motivating him to never slack off! He bows deeply to everyone! He hopes that in the coming month, he can continue to receive your support!)

——————————————————

When faced with problems, he instinctively turned to Qian Xiaofeng beside him. Over the years, he had grown accustomed to consulting Qian Xiaofeng whenever he encountered an issue.

Although he acted tough in front of others, he was actually very poor at handling real problems.

In fact, over the years, he had basically never encountered a problem he couldn’t solve, largely because of his father’s status. Any issue he faced was naturally resolved by others, and he had essentially lost the ability to deal with problems himself.

"How could she possibly be Miss Zhang?"

Qian Xiaofeng’s face was extremely pale, and his eyes momentarily dimmed and looked vacant, as he murmured incessantly under his breath. His mind worked much faster than Qian Xiaojie’s. From the moment Qian Xiaojie revealed Yuhan’s identity, Qian Xiaofeng thought of much more, and his heart felt even more terrified and utterly desperate.

Although Qian Xiaojie was the main character in this issue, Qian Xiaofeng was also a member of the Qian Family and Qian Xiaojie’s brother, and his outcome wouldn’t be much better than Qian Xiaojie’s.

He didn’t know what Qian Xiaojie had just said to Yuhan, but just thinking about the time they cornered Yuhan on the roadside made his heart plunge into despair.

He knew that his future and all his hopes might have been destroyed by this one incident, in the blink of an eye!

Given the terrifying nature of the Zhang Family, the Qian Family could no longer support him. The Qian Family couldn’t protect him!

"Big brother, it’s no use talking about this now, just tell me what to do!"

Qian Xiaojie’s face was deathly pale, as he looked at Qian Xiaofeng with immense fear in his heart.

"What to do, how would I know what to do?"

Qian Xiaofeng finally came to his senses slowly, his face showing a miserable and desperate expression.

Seeing Qian Xiaofeng’s expression, Qian Xiaojie’s heart instantly sank to the lowest ebb. From childhood, Qian Xiaofeng had been his guiding star, his most relied upon support. No matter what trouble he got into, he could consult him, letting him strategize from behind the scenes and ultimately turn danger into safety. But now, even Qian Xiaofeng was at a loss. What could he do?

.........

Qian family’s old mansion in D city.

"What!"

Qian Fuchen nearly jumped up from the chaise lounge upon hearing the news his brother just transmitted, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock.

"Is... true... third brother... what do we do now?"

Qian Fuyu’s body trembled non-stop. Just moments ago, he had received a phone call. Many of the Qian Family’s businesses had been directly destroyed, especially those involved in some shady activities, all wiped out in an instant!

Moreover, quite a few of the Qian Family’s younger members had been directly crippled...

Other major industries also suddenly received a phone call demanding strict inspections, whether it be tax reviews or checks on product quality, and some logistics channels were outright blocked.

All these actions were completed in an instant.

It was as if a gigantic hand was overwhelmingly pressing down on the Qian Family.

The entire Qian Family now had a sense that a storm was approaching, with everyone’s hearts in complete chaos. Everywhere people speculated about what had gone wrong this time for the Qian Family, what powerful figure they had offended...

Only Qian Fuyu, who knew the full details, occasionally had the shadow of the Zhang Family flit through his mind... especially when they heard that some eye-witnesses, who had been disabled, saw two old figures, they were almost certain that it was the Zhang Family acting behind the scenes with thunderous measures...

"The Zhang Family... that’s too much!"

Qian Fuchen looked at the completely panicked Qian Fuyu and finally came back to his senses slowly, his face showing a grey-white look of despair, his eyes filled with an incredibly sorrowful expression.

He was not foolish. If Qian Fuyu could think of the Zhang Family, he had almost immediately considered the Zhang Family...

However, facing the maneuvers of the Zhang Family, his heart developed a deep sense of powerlessness. They were too powerful; he had absolutely no ability to strike back. Even the authorities in D city investigating their industries had not given him any prior notice...

"Ring..."

Just then, another phone call rang.

Upon hearing the phone, Qian Fuyu’s expression instantly turned fearful. He looked at Qian Fuchen, who showed a hint of helplessness and said, "Answer it." Qian Fuyu then nervously picked up the receiver.

"What!"

Picking up the receiver, he had hardly heard a sentence when Qian Fuyu’s face showed a hint of shock. He exclaimed in disbelief, then his face turned pale, and his hands trembled violently; the receiver fell to the ground with a smack.

"What’s going on?"

Qian Fuchen stared at Qian Fuyu’s expression. His heart, already tormented and perforated by today’s shocks, sank violently once again.

"Xiaojie and Xiaofeng went to Z University again in the evening. It was because of Miss Zhang and the elders of the Zhang Family that, furious, they didn’t wait for the day’s agreement to be over and took action prematurely... and... the elders of the Zhang Family said, there is nothing more to be said...."

Qian Fuyu’s voice trembled as he looked at his elder brother with a hint of despair.

"What!"

Hearing his brother’s words, Qian Fuchen’s heart clenched violently all of a sudden, his eyes darkened completely, his head swayed, and he collapsed.

"Third Brother!"

Qian Fuyu again supported his brother, reviving him.

"Puh!"

The faintly revived Qian Fuchen opened his eyes, tasted sweetness in his throat, and a large mouthful of fresh blood spurted violently from his mouth.

"Third Brother...!"

Qian Fuyu looked at his brother’s woeful appearance, his eyes immediately moistened, and he cried out in grief.

"Six, I’m sorry! I’m sorry... to the Qian Family!"

Looking at his brother’s sorrowful face, Qian Fuchen saw a flicker of grief and despair in his eyes!

Could it be that the legacy of the Qian Family, built over generations, was really going to be destroyed by my hands, Qian Fuchen?

In his heart, Qian Fuchen thought desperately; tears, large and crystalline, uncontrollably streamed down his face!

Even when he had heard of his imminent death... even after being tormented by illness for many years... even with Uncle Qiu’s departure... his eyes had never shed a tear!

"Third Brother... is there really no way out?"

Qian Fuyu, hearing the desperation in his elder brother’s voice, thought of the Qian Family legacy possibly vanishing into smoke and couldn’t bear it. His eyes involuntarily showed a glimmer of hope as he asked.

"The Zhang Family’s decision is final!"

Qian Fuchen’s expression was wooden, his face bore a trace of misery and bitterness. Remembering the two he had pinned his greatest hopes on to inherit and expand the Qian Family’s legacy, who instead had brought disaster upon the family, felt as if his heart was being ruthlessly stabbed over and over!

It was truly ironic!

"Perhaps..."

Just as his heart was sinking into despair, suddenly, a piece of information crossed Qian Fuchen’s mind, and a hint of hope appeared in his eyes...

"What is it? Third Brother, is there hope?"

Qian Fuyu stared at Qian Fuchen’s expression, his face showing disbelief, and his body shook violently.

"Quick, give me the phone!"

Qian Fuchen’s voice was urgent, his eyes looked like he had grasped the last straw, his entire figure trembled slightly; several names floated continuously in his mind—Ma Family, Old Master Ma....

.........

Xiao Yi and Dr. Zhang, along with Elder An, had their first meal together that lasted until after nine in the evening, and only reluctantly parted ways. The three of them didn’t drink continuously like with others.

All three were doctors who knew the harm of excessive drinking and did not recklessly propose toasts. Initially, they warmed up the atmosphere, then drank elegantly. Most of the time, they discussed various medical issues together.

Throughout the evening, it was primarily Xiao Yi who spoke the most, from the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine to some deeper medical formulations, even discussing the complex theories of the five phases and qi in traditional Chinese medicine.

Initially, Xiao Yi hadn’t planned to discuss these topics, but Elder An repeatedly pressed him to explain, making it difficult for him to refuse. Reluctantly, he began to elaborate. Initially intending merely to respond briefly to Elder An’s questions, Elder An’s continuous inquiries led Xiao Yi to explain in more detail involuntarily.

Of the evening’s discourse, Elder An benefited the most, listening intently without blinking, frequently experiencing moments of sudden realization and enlightenment. Many principles, previously tangled in his mind, seemed to find resolution all at once.

With Dr. Zhang present, Xiao Yi did not exclusively delve into profound topics, but tried to use more accessible language where possible, ensuring everyone could easily understand. As a result, Dr. Zhang also listened keenly, developing a keen interest in traditional Chinese medicine and gaining some basic knowledge of its medical theories.(To be continued.
