Chapter 640: Is He Really a Big Shot?

As you can imagine, if something went wrong with the Jianguo Group, the Han Family would definitely react explosively at the first sign of trouble!

Had it been in the past, the Li Family might still have dared to challenge the Han Family, but the current state of the Li Family could only be described as lingering on its last breath. If it hadn’t been for that powerful backer in Beijing speaking up for them, they wouldn’t even exist anymore!

Therefore, no matter what, he was absolutely unwilling to let this incident have any connection with the Li Family.

On the other end of the phone, Li Ziyoung hung up, his gaze flicking over the green electronic light screen in front of him, his eyes revealing a trace of immense smugness as his fingers began to move rapidly, and with each movement, one command after another was sent out from his fingertips.

Chen Jianguo, Jianguo Group...

Soon, they would be history!

After sending a series of commands, Li Ziyoung leaned comfortably against the leather sofa behind him, his mouth twisting into a cold smirk.

His eyes, catching sight of the microphone he had tossed aside earlier, gleamed with unprecedented smugness, and he thought to himself, "Grandpa, oh, Grandpa, it seems you really are old, afraid of everything. You suggesting retirement and handing over the position to your grandson was indeed a very wise decision."

Scared of the wolves ahead and tigers behind, how can one accomplish anything?

You’ve been so cautious all your life, and that’s why we missed so many opportunities that we could have risen to. And look, what has our Li Family gained in the end? Haven’t we ended up with nothing? Hasn’t all our effort been in vain?

In the end, aren’t you just handing over this mess for your grandson to take care of?

Talking about how now isn’t the right time to take down Jianguo Group, how unnecessary it is to use underhanded methods...

If now isn’t the right moment, when will it be? Besides, since you mentioned that it’s a sharp method, why not use it? Why can’t it be used?

You also said we should keep enduring for a while longer... Grandpa, you’ve endured your whole life, and it’s made you timid. This is something your grandson will definitely not emulate!

I, Li Ziyoung, will soon show you how correct my decision is!

Li Ziyoung’s hand reached for the teacup prepared beside him, gently swirling it around, and his eyebrows involuntarily perked up, his eyes already envisioning the glorious prospects that were soon to unfold.

...............

Xiao Yi woke up the next afternoon.

"Where is this?"

Opening his eyes and looking at the white ceiling above, Xiao Yi’s eyes showed a trace of confusion; then, he swiftly flipped out of bed.

"You’re awake!"

The nurse assigned to look after Xiao Yi—a rather sweet-looking young nurse—had just been playing with her compact phone, and upon hearing movement from the bed, she quickly glanced over. Seeing Xiao Yi sitting there, bewildered, she immediately smiled sweetly and greeted him.

"Huh? Where is this?"

Xiao Yi looked at the nurse in front of him, his expression growing even more puzzled.

"Hello, this is the special care ward of our hospital, and I am one of the nurses here. My name is Lin Xiaoyi. You were unconscious when you were brought here yesterday," the nurse explained, smiling sweetly at him.

"Oh."

Xiao Yi nodded, his mind gradually piecing together some memories. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he stared intensely at the nurse, "You said, when did I lose consciousness?"

"You fainted yesterday, and you’ve been lying in bed for a whole day now. Oh, and you must be very hungry. Just wait a moment and I’ll get you some meat porridge."

After the nurse had spoken, she quickly turned and walked toward another room inside.

One day!

Hearing the nurse’s words, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but be stunned and just stood there.

It took a while for Xiao Yi to come back to his senses, a hint of a bitter smile appearing on his face.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t been unconscious before. Not long ago, he had been unconscious for almost a week after being injured by someone with the surname Lin. But to collapse from exhaustion like this, it had been a very long time since that last happened.

During the process of administering the Seven Needles, he already felt how formidable the Seven Needles were. They were like a vacuum pump, crazily drawing the scarce True Qi from his body. Toward the end, it even seemed not to draw True Qi, but to extract his vital essence. Several times, he felt completely done for and even prepared to give up. But in the end, thinking of Wang Dawei’s life, and not wanting his efforts to fall short, he couldn’t help but clench his teeth and continue to endure.

He managed to persevere until the very last moment. He thought he had survived... but in the very end, he still couldn’t hold on and collapsed.

Fortunately, Uncle Wang was alright. This bout of unconsciousness was worth it.

Thinking that although he had ultimately passed out, he had managed to hold on during the process and saved Wang Dawei’s life, Xiao Yi felt somewhat comforted.

He decided never to do this again. Administering the Seven Needles twice in a row was truly not something human should do, likely only those with at least Middle Tier Condensation period strength were truly qualified for it.

Reflecting on the terrifying process of administering the Seven Needles, Xiao Yi inwardly made a decision and assessed the requirements for such cultivation power.

Xiao Yi was staying in the best VIP ward, equipped with all conveniences like a microwave. Ready-made dishes such as meat porridge were also available. Soon, the nurse returned carrying a bowl of steaming, meat-scented porridge.

"Here, Mr. Xiao, have some porridge."

Placing the bowl in front of the bed, the nurse was about to start feeding Xiao Yi with a spoon.

"I can do it myself."

Having not eaten for a day and night, and with little True Qi left in his body just like a normal person, his stomach indeed couldn’t take much. He reached for the spoon and began to eat by himself.

The hospital’s porridge was naturally not very tasty, but with his hunger gnawing at him, Xiao Yi’s taste requirements had significantly decreased. He quickly finished the bowl of meat porridge. He was so engrossed in eating that he forgot about the nurse standing beside him, curiously watching. Only after finishing did he notice the nurse leaning forward, looking at him. His cheeks unconsciously turned red, and he cleared his throat, slightly prompting the nurse.

"Ah, you’ve finished? I’ll go get you another bowl."

Stirred by Xiao Yi’s cough, the nurse instantly snapped out of it. Seeing him, her face slightly flushed, she picked up the bowl and dashed to the nearby makeshift kitchen.

Xiao Yi wanted to say it wasn’t necessary. After one bowl of porridge, his stomach felt much better, and the hunger wasn’t as strong. But the nurse moved too quickly for him to speak, and she ran off before he could. Thinking about it, he decided not to say anything else, letting her go since having another bowl of porridge wasn’t a problem either.

"Nurse, I’m awake now, you don’t need to fuss over me, go do your work," Xiao Yi said to the nurse after finishing the second bowl.

"I don’t really have anything else to do, my job is to take care of you, hehe," the nurse giggled at Xiao Yi, her eyes shimmering with curiosity. She found it very interesting that this young man seemed to blush in her presence. This discovery made her even more curious about him.

Being a nurse in the VIP ward, she was very clear about the rules here. Normally it was impossible for just anyone to be admitted. Moreover, this person had been directly arranged to stay here by the hospital director himself yesterday, and he was accompanied by several of the hospital’s top specialists. Everyone knew that this young man must be someone important, and many nurses felt envious that she had been chosen to work in this room.

She was quite happy, not because this young man was a big shot, but because this was the first patient she was servicing.

Before she came here, she had received lots of advice from her seniors, who shared their experience and explained many things about serving these important people. For instance, these high-profile personalities generally have bad tempers, so she must always be cautious and stay alert...

Also, when interacting with important people, she must be careful with her words, better not to talk too much, and she’d best ’plug’ her ears, never listen in or be curious about their personal matters...

And so on and so forth, countless tips that made her quite nervous at first. Fortunately, this patient had been unconscious all along, which allowed her to gradually calm down and forget those ’words of wisdom.’

But now, after spending a little time with him, she realized this young important person seemed quite different from what her seniors had described. His expressions were very easygoing, he didn’t seem to have a temper, and now, she even discovered that he could actually blush...

Is he really some important person? (To be continued. If you like this novel, welcome to visit qidian.com to vote and support the author. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
