The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 956 - 0956: Dead Wood Meets Spring

Chapter 956: Chapter 0956: Dead Wood Meets Spring

The man in the bed locked gazes with Liuu Ruyan, wanting to say something, but his mouth opened and nothing came out.

His eyes became bloodshot with urgency, and murky tears began to emerge.

Xu Wei shouted from the side, "Uncle, this is your daughter, Liuu Ruyan. She’s all grown up now, and she’s come to find you!"

Tears also started to pour from Liuu Ruyan’s eyes as she grasped the man’s hand, looked him up and down with a sort of breakdown, and cried out, "Dad, what on earth happened?"

She leaned her head against the man, crying so hard she could barely catch her breath.

Wang Xiaoya comforted her from behind.

Long Fei asked Xu Wei, "What happened here? How did your uncle end up like this?"

Sitting on the kang bed, Xu Wei sighed and said, "When I was nine, my father called uncle back from the city, and he stayed at our home for a few days. I didn’t know what they were doing, but they ended up going up the mountain and stayed there for half a month. When they came back, it seemed as if they had caught some strange illness. My father passed away two days later, and before he left, he asked me to take good care of uncle. My uncle didn’t leave, but his body became like this. My mother passed away early, and once my father was gone, it was just uncle and me depending on each other. When I was a child, I took care of my uncle while attending school, but I only made it to middle school graduation. So many years have passed by in a blink, and I, too, wanted to go look for you all. But with my uncle like this, he simply can’t be left alone. Now that you’re finally here, I can have a bit of a break."

Long Fei felt a wave of emotion upon hearing this, realizing that Xu Wei was so loyal and faithful, truly a descendant of the old Qin clan.

For a nine-year-old child to have raised a paralyzed person up to this point...

That kind of courage, that kind of perseverance wasn’t something just anyone had.

Er Gouzi, who seemed much shrewder than Xu Wei, finally spoke up from the back, "Alright, now that you have found your people. Xu Wei has given up everything for your relative over these years. You said that finding him would bring a million yuan, don’t back out now!"

With a dry cough, Xu Wei, his face red, scolded Er Gouzi, "Er Gouzi, what nonsense are you spouting? Their family reunion is my greatest wish, I don’t ask for anything in return."

"You timid fool!"

Er Gouzi rolled his eyes in frustration.

Long Fei smiled and said, "Don’t worry, we’re not going to back out on our promise. Xu Wei, you’ve done well. The million yuan is rightfully yours, and I will give it to you without shortchanging you in the slightest. Moreover, I would like to invite you to join our company. Come work in Binhai City where the pay is definitely more than what you’re making here. Think it over."

Xu Wei answered earnestly, "There’s no need to think about it. I’m honoring my father’s request; I can’t take your money. However, I am willing to take the job offer. I’ve wanted to go out and see the world for a long time now. Because of my uncle, I’ve never traveled far from home and I’ve been nearly suffocating in this ravine."

Er Gouzi pounded his chest and stomped his feet in exasperation, "Xu Wei, you blockhead!"

A million yuan, for this village, was an astronomical sum.

Long Fei thought for a moment and said, "Here’s what we’ll do. If we can’t keep our word, it would be shameful gossip. I can provide the funds to repair the road in your village with that money. What do you think?"

"Say yes!"

Er Gouzi was so anxious he even pinched Xu Wei.

Xu Wei agreed, "Alright, I agree. I’ve managed to grow up thanks to the help of the uncles in the village. If I can do something for them, I am willing."

"Then it’s settled."

Long Fei patted his shoulder and from the palm of his hand, a warm flow spread out, circling around Xu Wei’s body.

Xu Wei didn’t know why but thought it might be something wrong with him—it felt like a sudden electric shock.

Er Gouzi, having confirmed the deal, rushed out to report to the village chief in excitement.

To get rich, build the roads first.

Even Er Gouzi knew this.

However, their village was remote, and Dragon-Headed Town was broke, resulting in the construction of a major road only five miles away from their village.

The stretch connecting their village to the main road was called Five-Mile Slope.

If this broken path were fixed, then the villagers could sell their fruit directly from the village.

No need to take the trouble of selling in town, it would be excellent news for their village.

Liuu Ruyan lay in her father’s arms crying for a while, then, as she collected herself, turned with teary eyes to Long Fei and pleaded, "Brother, can my father’s illness still be treated?"

In her eyes, Long Fei was like an immortal, someone who could smooth out any difficulty.

Her father’s illness was indeed not a problem for Long Fei.

While everyone was talking just now, Long Fei had sent a stream of Essential Qi into her father’s body.

He was well aware of what her father was suffering from.

Xu Wei said excitedly, "Brother, if you can cure my uncle’s illness, I’m willing to work for you for free."

He had depended on Liuu Wenhan since he was young and had long developed father-son feelings for Liuu Wenhan.

If Liuu Wenhan’s illness could be cured, he would be more than happy.

Long Fei asked everyone to step back. He pretended to rummage in his pocket, but actually took out a First Grade Elixir from the Storage Ring.

He held the pill and had Liuu Ruyan feed it to her father.

Liuu Ruyan immediately did as she was told and brought the pill to her father’s lips to feed him.

Long Fei held his sword finger and tapped it on Liuu Wenhan’s forehead, helping him circulate Qi.

Soon, a warm current swept through Liuu Wenhan’s entire body, as if a basin of hot water was spreading within him.

Black impurities soon started to emerge from his pores with an unbearable fishy smell, covering his entire body.

In just a few short minutes, Liuu Wenhan took a deep breath and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

His entire body seemed to be revitalized like dry wood in spring, his skin regaining the healthy pinkish hue that normal people have from a pale and blackened appearance.

Liuu Ruyan and Xu Wei were utterly stunned, feeling as though they had witnessed a performance of supernatural abilities.

Wang Xiaoya, on the other hand, was very calm, not surprised at all.

"I, I seem to be able to speak..."

Liuu Wenhan could hardly contain his excitement as a hoarse voice escaped his throat.

Liuu Ruyan burst into tears again, hugging Wang Xiaoya’s arm in her excitement.

Xu Wei, a big man, was stunned to the point of tearful eyes.

He had sought the help of many doctors, all of whom advised him not to continue caring for this stranger and to give up.

But he persisted, following a prescription an old traditional medicine practitioner had given him, gathering herbs from the mountains every few days.

After so many years of waiting, he had finally met a master.

He knelt down in front of Long Fei, a man of one meter seventy-five in height, and kowtowed twice, saying, "Benefactor, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you."

This rough man was unable to hide his moving demeanor, looking as if he was watching his own father wake up.

Long Fei helped him up and took a set of pajamas out of the Storage Ring, asking him and Liuu Ruyan to clean Liuu Wenhan’s body.

The smell in the room was so strong that it was unbearable.

Even a person who was not sick would probably fall ill after spending a night in there.

Wang Xiaoya chuckled from behind, waving her hand, and a green light flashed through the room.

The foul odor was immediately swept away, quickly replaced by the fragrant scent of lotus flowers.

Her Immortal Lotus was capable of healing people and now it was being used to purify the air, which really was an understatement of its capabilities.

Long Fei and she went out to sit in the yard while Liuu Ruyan and Xu Wei got busy inside.

Wang Xiaoya took out some drinks, handed a bottle to Long Fei, and curiously asked, "Why are you so interested in Xu Wei? Is he different from normal people?"

"You noticed too?"

Long Fei took the drink and smiled at her.
