Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Kneel Down

Qi Shanghai’s expression was somewhat tense as he looked at Chen Dashan, and ultimately couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chen, my father, how is he?"

"Dashan, how is my grandfather doing?" Qi Shuzhu asked anxiously.

The elderly gentleman showed no reaction, no signs of waking up, and both of them were somewhat worried.

Seeing this, Divine Doctor Sun was energized and roared, "See? This guy is just fooling around with superstitions. Whatever he did just now was deliberately meant to bluff us!"

"Being old doesn’t mean you can talk nonsense!" Chen Dashan said coldly. "Don’t worry, at most five minutes and the old man will wake up."

Only then did Qi Shanghai relax, waiting for the old man to come to.

Some people hoped, naturally there were also those who did not wish for the old gentleman to wake up.

Song Shiwei prayed nonstop in his heart that he wouldn’t wake up.

Five minutes passed.

"Water, water!" the elder murmured weakly, his lips parched.

Qi Shuzhu hurried forward to give him water.

After drinking water, the old man outstretched his hand, and Chen Dashan stepped forward to help him up.

"Grandfather, how are you feeling? What does it feel like?" Qi Shuzhu asked with tears in her eyes.

The elder nodded gratifiedly, "I feel much better; all this while, it felt as though I had taken a walk at death’s door, but now I feel much better, even better than before! It feels like I’ve shed ten years of age!"

As he spoke, the old man even swung his arms around.

Chen Dashan couldn’t help but laugh; of course, he had, after all, reshaped the old man’s internal organs with True Qi, rejuvenating him by what seemed like ten years.

"Was it you who saved me?" the elder looked at Chen Dashan with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Dashan was slightly taken aback and nodded.

"Haha, I knew it must be you; among these people, my son and granddaughter don’t have the ability, and this person is even less likely; the lad from the Song Family, even less so. It could only have been you, and besides, I got the feeling you were no ordinary person as soon as I saw you," the elder said with a beaming smile.

Chen Dashan: "The old gentleman has a keen eye; I am impressed."

"I should be the one thanking you. If not for you, my old life would likely be gone by now, dear granddaughter," the old man called out to Qi Shuzhu.

"I’m here, Grandfather."

"You’ve made a good friend, and I have not spoiled you in vain in the past."

Qi Shuzhu blushed and lowered her head; she knew that her grandfather was giving his approval of Chen Dashan.

Divine Doctor Sun quietly and discreetly prepared to slip away from the back.

"Where are you off to?" Chen Dashan turned around and called out to him.

Divine Doctor Sun smiled awkwardly, "I was just going to the restroom."

"Shouldn’t we settle our bet now?" Chen Dashan said with a smile.

Divine Doctor Sun’s face fell, "Big brother, it’s not my affair, it was Mr. Song who made the bet. If there’s an issue, you should look for him!"

"I know, and I wasn’t planning to look for you!" Chen Dashan had no intention of settling scores with Divine Doctor Sun, who was merely a pawn pushed to the front, not worth the trouble.

"Mr. Song?" Chen Dashan looked toward Song Shiwei.

Before Song Shiwei could even open his mouth to shirk responsibility, Chen Dashan said, "Is Mr. Song not going to stand by his word? I remember Mr. Song just now directly demanded an apology from me, which proves that there was a bet between us before. Why is Mr. Song going back on his word in front of the old gentleman?"

"I! I!" Song Shiwei stammered for a while, unable to articulate a response.

The elder and Qi Shanghai both looked at him with rather unfriendly eyes, until Song Shiwei, with a hardened resolve, declared, "Who reneged, you tell me, I’m willing to accept the bet and admit defeat!"

Under the gaze of so many, Song Shiwei cared greatly about face and naturally did not wish to lose face, so he said through gritted teeth.

Chen Dashan wanted just this outcome and said coldly, "The agreement you had with Miss Qi was to save the elder, wasn’t it? But now you have not only failed to save the elder, you almost harmed him, so shouldn’t this agreement be canceled?"

Qi Shuzhu crossed her arms before her chest and huffed coldly.

Song Shiwei’s face turned gloomy, and he grunted an affirmation, "Cancel."

"That’s good, since you know your place, I won’t make things difficult for you. Apologize to Miss Qi and promise you will never bother her again! We’ll leave it at that," Chen Dashan said coldly.

Song Shiwei’s expression became even more gloomy, his eyes filled with resentment while he clenched his fists, and agreed.

"What? Not leaving? Or are you expecting us to send you off?"

Song Shiwei did not speak but took Divine Doctor Sun and turned to leave.

Qi Shuzhu, with her arms around Chen Dashan’s arm, said with tears in her eyes, "Dashan, thank you."

"It’s nothing, I should do this. I’ve said before, as long as I’m here, nobody can bully you!"

Qi Shuzhu was deeply moved and nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Mr. Qi, instruct the chef to prepare some nourishing food for the elder, especially something to replenish True Qi and blood," Chen Dashan advised.

"Good, I’ll arrange it right away!" Now Qi Shanghai treated Chen Dashan with the utmost respect. Whatever Chen Dashan said, that was how it would be.

There was not the slightest doubt, as Chen Dashan had completely conquered him with his true capabilities.

"Let’s go outside for now. Elder, you meditate for half an hour to stabilize your foundation. After half an hour, you can come out."

"Okay, don’t worry, I will do as instructed," the elder replied obediently.

Once outside, Qi Shanghai bowed deeply to Chen Dashan, "Mr. Chen, I owe you a life-saving debt which I cannot repay. If you have any requests, please speak them, and I shall not refuse!"

Chen Dashan quickly helped Qi Shanghai up saying, "Uncle, you are too kind. Qi Shuzhu and I are very close friends. If uncle doesn’t mind, just call me Dashan."

He was more than willing, nodding with a smile, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony. From now on, I will call you Dashan, my nephew."

Chen Dashan nodded, indicating no objection!

Qi Shanghai was a shrewd man, and naturally, he noticed that the relationship between the two was not simple. Being an adept reader of people, he could tell that Chen Dashan was no ordinary individual.

Such a talent certainly needed to be cultivated with good relations.

"Nephew Dashan, it’s getting late. Stay here tonight, have a simple meal, and leave tomorrow," Qi Shanghai suggested.

Qi Shuzhu obviously agreed and quickly added, "You should stay here, tonight I’ll show you around the nightlife of Hengshui City. There’s so much fun here you haven’t seen yet."

As she spoke, she gave Chen Dashan a rather flirtatious look.

Chen Dashan understood what she meant and did not refuse, nodding and saying, "Then I’ll trouble you, uncle."

Qi Shanghai was overjoyed, "Not at all, not at all, it’s no trouble. Dashan, my nephew, make yourself at home here, I’ll go instruct the kitchen now!"

Saying this, Qi Shanghai turned and left.

Chen Dashan commented with a smile, "Uncle is very enthusiastic."

Qi Shuzhu rolled her eyes, criticizing, "Enthusiasm? He’s only warm to you because you’re useful to him. If you weren’t, he wouldn’t give you the time of day! The epitome of a fair-weather friend!"

Qi Shuzhu spoke of her father as worthless
