Chapter 400: Chapter 400: On One’s Last Legs

Li Feng’s flick caused the silver needle to emit a vibrating hum, and this was not even the most miraculous part. The previously still silver needles, like dominoes, caught the vibration and joined the trembling ranks.

Han Xue couldn’t help but let out a gasp at this sight. Were ancient doctors all this amazing?

The trembling of the silver needles continuously stimulated Chen Qinian’s brain tissue. Originally clogged due to cerebral infarction, a strand of qi within the blood vessels reverberated under the shaking of the silver needles, clearing the blockage instantaneously.

A stroke from cerebral infarction is caused by blocked blood vessels that compress the nerves and even lead to insufficient blood supply, resulting in unconsciousness or even paralysis. Li Feng’s acupuncture technique used True Qi to swiftly move between the vibrating silver needles, clearing the meridians.

Once the meridians were cleared, it was as if all were cleared; Chen Qinian, who had been comatose due to the stroke, groaned with a sound.

Han Xue turned her head to look at Chen Qinian, "Old Chen."

Chen Qinian slowly opened his eyes and seeing Han Xue standing beside him, he finally raised his hand after more than a month and reached for Han Xue, who quickly grasped his.

"You’re finally awake."

Tears welled uncontrollably in Han Xue’s eyes, flowing down her face. She had been through heaven and hell over this past month.

After all, Chen Qinian, in his sixties, had managed to conceive a child with her, an unexpected joy. It was a happy event, but due to the amendment of the will, the relationship between Chen Qinian and his son Chen Muyang soured, resulting in Chen Qinian suffering a cerebral infarction and stroke from anger.

Han Xue, who had been hopeful because of the pregnancy, suddenly found herself in crisis.

"It’s okay, don’t cry, I’m here."

Chen Qinian patted Han Xue’s back, comforting his delicate wife, yet his gaze was sizing up Li Feng.

As the chairman of Century Group, Chen Qinian had built a fortune from nothing to become one of Sea City’s top ten group chairmen; even in old age, he was still a tiger.

"Cough!"

Li Feng coughed, causing Han Xue to blush. She sat up from Chen Qinian’s embrace and looked at Li Feng as she introduced him, "Old Chen, this is Li Feng, from Myth Communication. If it weren’t for him these days, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to hold on."

"Mm."

Chen Qinian nodded, then looking at Han Xue, he said, "I’m a bit thirsty, could you get me some water?"

"Mm, okay."

Han Xue swiftly turned around, sensing her husband needed to speak with Li Feng alone.

As soon as Han Xue left the room, Chen Qinian fixed a heavy and scrutinizing gaze on Li Feng, "What do you want?"

Li Feng, seeing that Chen Qinian asked nothing else and said nothing else, but directly cut to the chase with a simple yet heart-piercing question, replied, "What if I say that saving you, and your wife, was all because I took on a PR case from Clover Group, and it all started because you were enraged into a myocardial infarction and stroke by your son, and coincidentally, you took Clover Group’s medicine, which your son wanted to blame on Clover."

"I took on this hot potato of a case, even signed a contract that might cost me double the penalty if I can’t complete it. To prevent my company from going bankrupt, I had no choice but to wade into the mess of your family."

"Is this answer satisfactory to you, Chairman Chen?"

Chen Qinian squinted at Li Feng, "How much is your case worth?"

"Ten million."

Chen Qinian looked at Li Feng, "With your skills, you’re not the kind to lack ten million. Do you fancy my wife?"

"Do you suspect me of cuckolding you?" Li Feng looked at Chen Qinian in astonishment.

But Chen Qinian jumped to another question, "How long can I still live?"

Li Feng looked at Chen Qinian, the old man’s brain was really working. Ordinary people couldn’t keep up with his pace.

"I can’t guarantee it, your current state of clarity is completely at the expense of your body’s potential, and at your age, coupled with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases, it could be as little as two or three days, or as much as half a month."

"Of course, this is provided you don’t get angry, you can’t have any violent emotional fluctuations, otherwise you could collapse at any moment."

"And if you collapse this time, even a Daluo Immortal wouldn’t be able to save you."

It was Li Feng who had awakened Chen Qinian, but what was sustaining the other now were the silver needles inserted into his skull and the strand of True Qi from Li Feng, so the other’s current state was a flash before extinction.

"Two or three days? That should be enough for me to put my affairs in order."

Chen Qinian seemed to have a light view of life and death, without much fluctuation, and even asked Li Feng to find a way to extend his life.

"Where’s Chen Muyang now?"

"In T-country getting surgery, I suppose. He has already lost his reproductive capability, probably can’t continue the lineage for the Chen Family."

Li Feng said.

Chen Qinian’s expression didn’t change: "It’s my fault for not raising him well, leading to his current state."

"But it’s too late to say anything now. However, Century Group was built by me, it’s like another child to me. I won’t allow Century Group to be destroyed just like that."

Li Feng shrugged his shoulders.

"Then that’s Chen Family’s own business. My only goal is one thing, now that you’re lucid, I would like Chairman Chen to help clarify the matter, and to send a letter to Clover Group, so I have an account to give, and it wouldn’t be in vain all the effort I put in."

Chen Qinian stared at Li Feng.

"Do you really have just that one demand?"

Li Feng turned to look at Chen Qinian: "This request is very important to me."

"Don’t you want Century Group? Century Group is a behemoth with assets in the hundreds of billions, involved in a dozen industries."

Li Feng listened to Chen Qinian’s temptation, smiling at the corner of his mouth: "And then? To deal with your avaricious relatives and to laboriously manage this behemoth you speak of, toiling away 365 days a year, what do I get out of it?"

Chen Qinian was stunned.

"What do you get? Money, status, power, beauty, whatever you want, you can have."

Li Feng laughed.

"All these things you mentioned, I already have. Why would I need you to give them to me? Chairman Chen, don’t try to test me with these. If I truly intended to take Century Group, do you think I would need you to be conscious?"

"After all, you, an old man, are not as easy to deal with as your startled beautiful wife. And by saying all this, aren’t you just worried that I could handle your lovely wife and desire to usurp Century Group through a cuckoo in the nest?"

"You’re even more afraid that the child in Han Xue’s belly might not be able to be born at all, unable to inherit Century Group."

Li Feng’s eyes seemed to penetrate the heart, and Chen Qinian looking into Li Feng’s eyes for a long while: "Are young people nowadays this terrifying?"

"Chairman Chen, I am no gentleman, so you don’t need to be the villain either. If you don’t believe me, you can go and inquire about me, Li Feng."

"Oh, right, I have a nickname back in Huacheng, ’Hidden Dragon’."

Li Feng suddenly turned around. Century Group with its hundreds of billions in assets sounded tempting, but in reality, owning heavy assets, employing tens of thousands of staff, and dozens of subsidiary companies sounded impressive, but was actually a mess.

Compared to that, Li Feng favored money more.
